I just made contact with
one of their leaders.
- [Alien] Friendly?
- Uh, no sir, actually,
uh quite hostile, extremely rude
and not very helpful at all.
- [Alien] Have you
located the fugitive?
- Uh, no sir, not yet,
but I am very please
with my progress.
- [Alien] You have
strict orders,
vaporize the fugitive
and return immediately.
- Yes, sir.
- [Alien] Be extremely
careful with the device,
if a human were to control it,
it could lead to the destruction
of the entire species.
- Uh-oh.
- Alright, what do we got?
- We've got no VP, no
respiration, major head trauma,
we've been pumping this
guy since we got him.
- Well keep pumping because
this guy is still moving.
- I've got a line
in, what do you want?
- Just control his
thrashing, please.
(giggling)
- I hate hospitals.
- Rheumalin stat!
- Oh! Bingo.
- Bring him over
Anybody know this guys name?
- Mooster Willigar,
with a T!
- Has he got any
drugs or medication?
(laughs)
- I don't believe this.
How's his heart monitor at?
- Straight line.
- How can it be flat-line
with these seizures?
- Alright, let's jazz it up,
I want one bicarb
and one at heavy
and get neuro down here please!
- Watch for blood he's
got needle tracks.
- This guy dies,
your ass is mine!
This guy's my buddy!
- You're not helping your
buddy out very much--
- You hear me?
- Get out of here.
- You are responsible
if he dies!
- Somebody please get
this guy outta here!
- Get outta here!
- Where is security?
- Teared up inside.
- Fanny, that is the most
beautiful ass I've ever seen.
Just wait till my
buddy gets better

with us, you hear?
- Back off mister!
We've got work to do!
- How's his airway?
- His airway's okay.
But he's bleeding
actively from both ears,
this guy is dead.
- How could he still
be moving Mary?
What happens when
I stop pumping?
- Straight lines.
- I'm gonna shock him.
- Bob! There's
never been a pulse
or blood pressure!
This guy is dead.
- With these head injuries
I can guarentee you
he's brain dead.
- Quit talking and get
to work saving my buddy.
- That's what we're
trying to do here sir,
give me a hundred.
All right, clear!
- Clear!
- Anything?
- Straight line.
- Two hundred and clear.
- Clear.
- Monitor?

- Are you sure that
thing is plugged in?
- Mary?
- Yeah?
- Where's security?
- They're on their way, I hope.
- Yeah you better make whoever
comes out of there assume
some action for us.
- He'll be alright.
- Yeah, we'll just
get in here and,
- Okay everybody, He's
brain dead, heart dead,
multiple skull fractures, only
reason we're still working
on him is he has minor seizing
and that seems to be going.
Anyone disagree with stopping?
- Not me
- [Man] Let's stop it.
- Okay, I'm calling it.
- Let's call it.
- [Doctor] TOD 3:05
- TOD 3:05
(exhales)
(ambient music)
(electricity surges)
(breathing heavily)
- What's going on?
- Uh, I don't know,
I mean, you're friend
had a terrible accident,
we did everything we
possibly could but um,
he didn't make it, I'm sorry.
- You're gonna be a
hell of a lot sorrier.
- Hey!
We don't deserve
this stuff from you!
- Butt out, Jumbo!
(electricity surging)
(dramatic music)
- We have had a enough,

Now get out!
(grunting)
You too.

I wanna X- ray!
- [Woman] At least

- What's going on?
- Oh, you didn't hurt
anything else, did ya?
- Oh, no.
- Give us a call.
- Moriarty Firm,
hey, you're them lawyers on TV!
- We can help.
- Moolah for mama.
- Yeah.
(bongo music)
- Hey, mister!
- Uh, yeah, miss, I was
wondering if perhaps you
could tell me who, was there
anyone near that gentlemen
when he died, perhaps?
- Lot's of people,
are you a friend?
- Well, no, I don't really
think the relationship
would have been worked out--
- Look, if you're a
relative we'll talk to you.
- Well, I was wondering, did
you find anything in his hand?
- huh?
- A small round disc?
uh, perhaps, oh!
This is the call list,
were these people,
I just, oh look!
- I don't have time for this
- No, really, look!
- Security!
Still here? Security!
- Oh, no! No, no, that's
fine, I'm outta here.
I'm gone, I just go home.
- [Nurse] Security!
- Oh my God, he went that way!
- What is going on?
(footsteps)
- Well, here we are.
- The fabled Monday strategy
meeting, senior partners only.
Is this is? Is Moriarty gonna
make me a senior partner?
- Uh, no, not today.
He's just testing you, see
whether you measure up.
- What do I say?
- Always say, the right thing.
Moriarty doesn't
sufferer fools, gladly.
Oh!
(exhales)
- Mm, oh.
- Here we go,
- Okay, well thank you.
(jazz music)
- He's expecting you.
- [Moriarty] The next with
gathering is Saturday,
I've personally invited
some of you along.
I want absolutely nothing
to go wrong, is that clear?
You have that list
of legislative action
for family and divorce law?
- [Man] Who's gonna divorce,
designed for a
maximum indication.
- Longstry, what about the
criminal law legislation?
Excellent.
- [Man] Our people
have penetrated all--
- Little gathering?
- It's big, really big.
Some of the biggest lawyers
in the country are
gonna be there.
Nobody's ever tried
anything like this before,
there's no stopping
Moriarty once
we put this plan into action.
- [Man] We'll be able
to make any decision
without first
consulting a lawyer.
Preferably a Moriarty lawyer.
- I notice that your
Qantro verse Lee
malpractice is coming up?
Congratulations on getting
that trial so soon,
most inventive.
- We'll crush him like a insect.
- I want him more than crushed.
- Okay, we'll pull
off his wings and legs
and let him die slowly.
(All chuckles)
- I want vegetables
on that jury.
- Vegetarians?
(rumbles)
(dishes clattering)
- Vegetables not vegetarians,
no one with a IQ over 65.
- It's done.
- Excellent.
(All chuckles)
(ambient chatter)
- Crutches, crutches!
(exclaims in pain)
- Practice!
- Huh?
Practice!
- Oh,
Jury!
(exclaims in pain)
- Are you okay?
- Uh, yeah.
I haven't been sleeping well.
- Just be alert
and look sharp, eh?
Hey! We're going to show the
jury what a bullshit scam
for money this is, kick some
butt and walk out winners.
Don't worry!
- [bailiff] All rise,
circa court for Spotsylvania
County is now in session,
the honorable Roger Tanny
presiding, please be seated.
(electronic beeping)
- [Sir] Your report?
- [Alien] uh, well sir,
I'm actually blending
in very nicely,
it's a incredibly smooth
transition. Tell you the truth,
sir, I'm beginning to
feel like I'm one of them.
But I do have a slightly
larger problem, sir,
I no longer posses the device.
- [Sir] What happened?
- Well, I've seemed
to have lost it.
- [Sir] Abandon the
original mission,
your new objective
is retrieve the AAD.
You may be in great
danger without it.
- [Alien] Well, sir,
I was just wondering,
what, just hypothetically of
course, what happens if I,
uh, can't find it?
- [Sir] You wont be able to
return without the device.
- [Alien] Aha, I see, ha.
- [Sir] If you do not
retrieve the AAD we will have
to destroy the entire
city with you in it,
we have no choice.
- [Alien] Uh, yes, sir,
then it is very fortunate
that I have all
these leads, sir.
(electronic beep)
- Has the jury
reached a verdict?
- We have, your honor and we'd
like to know if it's possible
to award more money than
was originally asked
for by our plaintiff.
(cheering)
(laughs)
- Whoo!
- Oh, baby! You know
where we're going now?
- To the talk shows?
- All the talk shows!
- Order, order!
This court is adjourned.
Well, Doctor Lee, I
don't know about you
but had a tough day.
Better luck next time.
(exclaims in pain)
You Moriarty guys
put on quite a show.
- Hey, gotta earn my 60%.
- 60% of the damages?
- You are in line for a
little legal education, eh?
come with me, we
got some talking.
Listen, you made some
good moves in there, Ed,
you should be proud of yourself.
- Well, I had to be my best,
I was up against
Moriarty, wasn't I?
- Well listen, there's lawyers
and then there's more lawyers
and then there's
Moriarty lawyers.
Let's go get us a drink, eh?
- Okay.
(rock music)
(inaudible chatter)
- Remember me?
- Sorry, no.
- I bet you're the only
guy in here who's not a
judge or a lawyer.
My son, the emergency room.
- Um, baseball, busted
lip, six stitches?
We had to keep him
over night, right?
- Right.
- Hows he doing?
- He's fine, thanks.
So, what are you having?
- Uh, anything, beer.
- You know, I never had the
opportunity to thank you,
properly.
- What do you think
about working for the
Moriarty law firm?
- Sounds good but uh, I'm
not sure I have that killer
instinct that you
Moriarty guys have.
- Wise up, you're
too bright a guy
to be working on a salary.
Listen, Moriarty is
planning something big.
I can't tell you what
it is just now but,
believe me this is a
major big time move.
Eh, I like you, I
want you in on it.
- I'm game.
- So hows everything
at your place?
- You know how it is, you guys
sue 'em and we defend 'em.
(laughs) Here's to a
little pre-enterprise
and the good doctor.
- So what's going on here, Ed?
You're joining Moriarty?
Did you make a deal with
this scumbag before my trial?
Did you? Answer me!
- Relax, Bob, sit
down for one minute.
It's not what you
think on the job offer.
- Hey, doc help me out,
it hurts when I
do this! (laughs)
- When I'm handling your case,
I'm your lawyer I fight
for you. It's just that,
lawyers are trained to see
both sides of the picture.
- Don't give me that
lawyer double talk,
you lost an open and
shut case for me, Ed
and now you're working
for the other side!
- You heard things
out of context,
when I work for you I'm
on your side! It's a,
I fight for you,
I'm your lawyer!
- I heard you, Ed,
it's the truth!
- It's not true if
you can't prove it.
- Whenever you're ready doctor.
- I'll take care of this, I
don't think you can afford
to pick up any more tabs.
(laughs)
Hey listen, I'll knock five
million off the jury award,
we'll settle the whole
thing right here right now,
no more hassles!
- What so every time I cover
the ER for the next 50 years,
I'll be working for that
slug who sued me and you?
I'd rather be dead.
- That's your choice! (laughs)
- Look, Bob, I was
working for you.
Now I just might work
for the other side,
there's nothing
illegal about that.
(sighs)
(electricity surging)
- I'm sorry,
but I want all you
lawyers out of my life!
(grunts)
(breathing heavily)
What happened?
- You okay?
- Where did they go?
- I don't know.
You better get out of here!
- Oh! Sorry.
- Excuse me.
(sirens wailing distantly)
- I'm gonna need
a drink for this.
- Get the names, the
address and phone numbers
and make sure that they sign
the statement before
they leave, got it?
Rookie.
- Nah, I drink with
the guy, he's alright.
- No blood.
- No bodies.
(camera flashes)
- Just this credit card.
- A cigar.
(inhales)
- Cuban.
- Doesn't make any sense.
- They just disappeared.
Will you cut it out?
That goes for you too!
Alright, come on,
we gotta frisk you.
- Oh!
(upbeat funky music)
- Police have no clue
explain the disappearance
of two lawyers but it is an
episode reported earlier,
- Hey! That was Bob's lawyer
and the Moriarty lawyer.
What's going on?
(dramatic music)
(phone beeps)
(phone ringing)
- Hello?
It's for you.
- Hello?
It's for you.
- Hello?
- Someone's gotten
to Longstreet.
I wanna know who.
- Yes, sir, right away.
- I have top level
attorneys coming in
from all over the country
and I want some answer now.
(phone beeps)
(scoffs)
- How did he know where I was?
How did he know this number?
(footsteps)
- Hey Bob, what's up?
- Working on some stuff.
- Quantum physics.,
ah well, that stuff.
- I have energy
applied to substance,
something the vibration level--
- Are you okay, Bob?
- It's called,
breaking the electrical
magnetic charge,
was the inotropic effect
of de-materialization.
- Bob,
- Yeah?
- are you okay?
Look, I mean, losing
the case, the whole,
way things happened. The
ridiculous word, I mean,
you gotta, you gotta
give yourself a break!
- Okay, no, not yet,
you don't understand,
uh, something happened,
I don't know what it is
and I'm not even sure
if it did happen.
(exclaims in surprise)
(electric surging)
Dammit, Kate!
Can you please keep
that thing in your bag?
- Colleges, the law is the
basis of our American society.
It is the best legal
system in the world.
Now, we must evolve
to the next level,
we must become a nation
not only governed by laws,
but by lawyers.
(chair squeaks)
- Mr. M, how stands the senate?
- The majority are lawyers,
the senate will be with
us on the crucial issues.
- Mr. N?
- You've had an
unexplained disappearance
in your firm recently,
I believe he was uh,
recruiting state legislators.
- That wont effect
our plans at all.
- We must be very careful
- Are you in?
- Labors covered,
all systems go.
- Mr. E, as representative
of our nations
largest consumer advocate group
and some of our most
profitable litigation,
how do you stand?
- Everything's in place.
- Excellent.
Mr. Y?
- The business lawyers are in.
(inaudible talking)
- Ms. R, the White House?
- There is a limit to how
much I can expose to you.
- Well, ma'am, I
think we could use
a little bit of assurance.
- Sir, I wouldn't be here
without the knowledge of my,
um, boss.
- I think that's about all
the reasonable assurance
that we can expect.
Now, Mr. X?
Your decision, please.
- As the representative of
the FBI, I am a little leery
of you having the drug cartel
legal representative here,
this part bothers me.
- The legal system
drains off huge
profits from this enterprise.
Would you rather that
money stay in the hands
of the drug lords?
- Some people think there
are too many law suites.
(scoffs)
- Now, don't be inane Mr X,
lawyers don't sue people,
people sue people.
(all laughs)
- I hear that!
- I'm afraid I'm going to
have to decline participation.
- Mr. X, did you enter
this meeting armed?
(dramatic music)
- Guilty as charged.
- And I noticed that your
right hand suite pocket
sagged a bit, pocket
tap recorder perhaps?
- You're very observant.
I have decided this meeting
should be in the public form.
I'm out of here.
(electricity surges)
- Damn!
(electricity surges)
(exclaims in pain)
Somebody help her up.
- [Ms. R] What the?
- If there are no
further questions,
(chuckles) Sorry,
just my little joke.
This meeting is over.
- I didn't know there was
gonna be a drug guy here!
Did you know he
had a tap recorder?
Do you know what this could
do to my political career?
- Well, thought the
meeting went very well.
- Well? Jesus a man died
and we almost lost
the attorney general!
- If you're gonna
play, play to win.
- I want to concentrate
all our efforts
on the disappearance
of Longstreet.
Go get me that file.
- Oh, yeah, I'll go get it.
- May I have a word, sir?
- Yes.
- That murder trial last
year, I got the man accursed
of being a serial
rapist off free.
- Oh yes, excellent
publicity for the firm.
- Well he's just been charged
with raping two more women
and I'm due to defend him again.
- Congratulations, this
is a golden opportunity.
A gift, careers are
made on cases like this.
The American people don't
understand how hard we work,
the price that we
pay for our success.
How they make their lousy
little lawyer jokes,
they belittle us while
we keep them free.
Good trial attorney doesn't
just sell his brains,
energy and expertise.
He sells his clients
soul and now,
we're about to move
this magnificent system
closer to perfection
and some day, they
will thank us.
- Yes, sir, I'm sure they will.
- Don't touch the bowl, go away.
- Hey, doc! How you been?
Want a beer?
- Uh, no thanks, Gus.
- Here, have a beer!
Sit down and relax,
watch the game.
So what kind of doctor are you?
- I work in ER.
- You knew that, dad.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, ER doc, huh?
So what's that, it
means you do everything?
Ah, hit 'em!
- Actually it's become
a specialty of it's own.
- Did he see that?
So, you do surgery?
- Um, minor surgery
and if anything big
and I have to call in a surgeon.
- Oh so, you just decide
what specialist to call, eh?
- Well, there's a little
bit more to it than that.
- Ah, I don't believe this!
I remember when I was a
kid, something went wrong,
you went to the family
doctor and was taken care of.
Eh, you see this?
- Chips?
- You made the papers.
Emergency room physician,
Robert Lee, was found
to be negligent in the care--
- Dad, dad,dad, we don't
need to hear that right now.
- The sum awarded is one
of the highest in
the areas history.
Doctor Lee was said to settled
the cases out of court,
he says to avoid the
aggravation of a trial.
He's now at risk of losing
his license, furthermore,
what, what, what, what?
Hey, doc we know
you're a good doctor.
You know, let's us go bowling
together one of these nights.
(bongo music)
(doorbell rings)
- Yes?
- Mr. Lee?
I need to speak with you.
- Do I know you?
- I was serving you at the
bar the other night, remember?
May I come in?
(scoffs)
Doctor Lee, I really
need you to help me.
- What do you want?
- I saw what happened
the other night.
- I'm not sure what
happened myself.
- Well, I didn't see it all but,
one minute you guys were talking
and the next minute there
was this flash of light
and you made a
really strange noise.
- That's pretty
much all I remember.
- Oh! Wait a minute,
there I am.
- And you say you
don't recall anyone
else with the two lawyers?
- Right.
- Uh, thank you.
The police are refusing
to make any statements-
- My memory can get better.
- Refusing to say if
these events are related
to the similar biker
disappearance reported earlier.
- Look, I don't know what
you're trying to do here
but I'm not a rich man, in
fact I'm completely broke
and I don't feel like living
my life in a blackmail.
- Wait!
You don't understand.
I'm divorced,
my ex-husband owes
me child support.
- Well I'm not an enforcer of
delinquent husbands either.
- Will you shut up and listen?
He's not the
problem, his lawyer.
He wont give me a cent unless
his lawyer tells him to
and his lawyer wont
do that unless I,
entertain him. I'm sick of it,
I can't do it anyway,
please! Doctor Lee,
you have to help me.
- Why don't you go to the police
or how about the
bar association?
- Other lawyers? Ha!
Don't make me laugh.
- I'm not your man.
- Sorry, but you are.
I saw your eyes after
those guys disappeared,
you may not be much
on ex-husbands,
but you're real
rough on lawyers.
- What are you saying?
- Look, I don't
care how you do it,
but I want that lawyer
out of my pants.
- Here.
- Get out with that thing!
- It's a safe gun--
- I'm sure it is.
- A drug dealer
lost it in the bar.
His name is Pendalton,
he's with the Moriarty firm.
- Another MF lawyer.
- Here's his address,
catch him at home, spook
him and my memory stays bad
about who was with those
guys when they disappeared.
Understand?
- Um, look,
I don't threaten people.
- I'm not gonna change my story,
but I really need your help.
- You say this guy
works for Moriarty?
Okay, I'll talk to your guy.
Not to threaten, just
try to reason with him.
- You're so good to me.
(muffled talking)
- Kate!
- Bob!
- Kate!
- Bob.
- Kate, you're home
early, how was class?
- You wanna tell
me what's going on?
- Um, oh, I would like
you to met Miss, um?
- Anna.
- Anna, Miss Anna!
- Carol.
- Carol Anna.
- Anna Carol.
- That's what I
meant. (chuckles)
- Oh, look at this, I better
help you get out of here.
Now, remember what I said,
stay off your feet there
and take care of that
gallbladder. Be very care,
Kate? Kate!
(door closes)
- I better go.
- I don't get this, she
came into the ER a year ago
and she just shows up now.
Why?
- I don't, she just
wanted to thank me.
- Thank you?
Thank you for what, Bob?
(scoffs)
- Dammit Kate, I'm a
doctor not a mind reader.
Look, it's just something
she felt she had to do,
but she did give me something.
- Oh and I don't give
you what you need?
- No, kate, it's
nothing like that.
She gave me Moriarty.
- Moriarty? She
gave you Moriarty?
- No, a connection to Moriarty.
It's gotta be him, I mean,
everything goes back to him.
Look, the Moriarty
lawyer prosecuted me,
and MF lawyer hung me
out to dry in my divorce.
My own lawyer was
going to join Moriarty
and she's even in
trouble with one.
It's gotta be more
than just coincidence
and every last one of
them is totally scum.
I just gotta find out.
- Are you gonna see her again?
- Who?
- Bob, the woman who
just left our house.
The one with the fake eyelashes
and the press on nails
and the push-up bra and the
dress three sizes too small.
- Fake eyelashes?
- Oh, no.
No, no, no.
(relaxing ambient music)
(doorbell rings)
- Yes?
- Ms. Pendalton?
- Yes?
- I'm very sorry
to disturb you at this hour
but I need to speak
with your husband.
- Oh, no, we normally
don't entertain guests
or clients this late, I'm sor--
- I understand, but I,
it is very important.
- Well alright then, you
seem like a nice young man.
Come in.
- Thank you, ma'am.
(water flowing)
- Willy?
- What is it?
- This young man--
- You know I never
see clients out here.
- Yes, I know
dear, but he said--
- Alright, alright.
Since you're already here
might as well give you
the benefit of some free advice.
Most people wanna be
protected in a divorce,
usually have one thing to value.
At least above all the
rest, the house, a car,
boat, something they're
afraid of losing
so this is my advice. If
you wanna get a divorce,
buy two or higher me.
Have a good evening.
- Mutual acquaintance
asked me to see you,
a Miss Anna Carol.
You represent her ex-husband?
I think you know the story,
she wants you to stop.
- I have absolutely no idea
what you're talking about.
If you don't disappear
immediately I will
have you arrested
and proceed to tear
you from limb from limb
in both civil and criminal
court, am I perfectly clear?
- She just wants you
to leave her alone.
Look, she even gave me a gun.
- Put that gun down.
- I'm not going to use it,
I just want to show you
how desperate she is.
- I said put that gun down
now or we do not talk.
- Now, I wanna know,
who is Moriarty,
and why does he wanna
try and ruin my life?
- You are no longer
just a irritation,
you are a problem.
- Just a minute young man.
- Ah, Martha, just in
time. I'll call the police.
- No, no, no.
Don't touch the phone.
You know, Willy,
it's been a long, long marriage.
I heard what the
young man had to say,
I don't think a day has gone
by that I haven't thought
how nice it would be
if you had a clean,
quick fatal heart
attack or even a stroke.
When you passed your treadmill
test with flying colors,
(laughs) my heart sank.
I've known about your
affairs for years,
you don't just like to cheat
on me, you like to hurt women,
don't you? Mentally,
I've hurt fully.
- Oh, no, Martha Snookums,
it's all a pack of lies.
- I was it were,
I suppose divorce
was always an option,
but then who knows how to
make a divorce more painful
and more vicious than you?
(both chuckles)
No one,
young man?
I want you to shoot him.
- What?
- Take the gun and shoot him.
- Martha, stop this
silliness right now.
- Shoot him, now.
- Martha.
(cocks gun)
(dramatic music)
- No,
I'm not shooting anybody.
Not even him.
- Well, give it to me.
- You stupid old bat!
You don't know--
(gun fires)
(gagging)
(gun fires)
- He's dead.
- Whose gun is this?
- Belongs to a drug
dealer I'm told.
- Ah, perfect, young
man, come here.
I want you to put your
hands on the handle
and the trigger. I
want your pints on it.
(scoffs)
- No, ma'am. I didn't
kill your husband,
I'm not gonna put
my prints on there.
You can wipe them
off if you want,
but I didn't shoot anybody.
- Now, go on.
(humming)
(sirens wailing distantly)
- Gee, this would have
killed him any who.
- Probably.
- Pendalton, is he that
fancy divorce lawyer?
- Nah, nah he was
a slimy lowlife
who lied and cheated
and steals from
hardworking husbands,
whose wives spend it on their
lousy, stinking long hair,
tattooed boyfriends!
- Hey, Glase, you're a pro, huh?
- Okay!
- Settle down.
- Alright,
- You alright?
- I'm okay.
- Alright, I'm lettin' you go.
- Alright, okay.
(exhales heavily)
- That was Alice's
lawyer right? (laughs)
- Told you to never mention
her name to me again,
you son of a bitch!
- Jesus, come on,
he's already dead!
(thumping)
- Bob, we gotta talk.
- Go ahead.
- I can't talk to you
when you're bouncing up
and down like that.
- I can hear you.
- Just look at this.
- My God,
where did you get this?
- I thought you'd
be interested.
- Kate, there's
nothing in his file.
- Who is this guy?
- He doesn't exist.
- I gotta go.
- Bob, you can't
leave like this.
- Kate, I can't get
into this right now.
- Bob, you can't go to
the hospital like that!
- Please, I'm not
dealing with my anger
very well these days.
- Robert!
You're pants.
- More on the case of
the disappearing lawyers,
this is the second Moriarty
lawyer in the news this week.
First, James Longstreet
disappeared and now,
well known divorce
attorney, William Pendalton
of the Moriarty firm
was found shot to death.
You can take it
from this reporter,
we have not seen the
last of this case.
- I don't believe
this, what's going on?
- Channel five action
news will be there
to give you all the details.
- I want you to talk to all
the clients involved with
Longstreet and Pendalton.
- Yes, sir, right away.
- Someone is after us,
I wanna know who and
I wanna know now.
- We've changed that
number three times,
no one knows that number.
I don't know that number,
you don't know that number,
no one knows that number!
How does he know that number?
- [TV announcer] The 450 million
dollar Moriarty building,
is the symbol of this
mysterious billionaires
wealth and power.
It is the largest privately
owned building in the world.
Police are still trying to
connect the disappearance
of the two lawyers to the
bikers disappearance earlier.
Now this,
(doorbell rings)
(yells)
- I'm looking for Doctor Lee.
- Who are you?
- Police, just some
routine questions.
- Let me see your credentials.
What's this all
about, detective Wong?
- Just some routine questions.
- Ah, well Doctor Lee isn't in,
so if you wanna leave your
number I'll have him call you.
- Could you do that for me?
Call me any time, day or night.
(door slams)
(banging)
(sirens wailing)
- Is your child having
difficulty in school?
Involved in drugs?
Call the Moriarty firm
for a free consultation.
Nine times out of 10 we find
that your child's problems
are not your fault, but rather
due to medical negligence
at the time of delivery.
(door slams)
- Bob!
What did you do with Moriarty?
- Uh, left it at
the hospital, why?
- Some creep came by last night
and he said he was from
the police department,
but he had brief case and it
had the initials MF on it.
He gave me this business card.
- [Man on TV] If you call now,
the Moriarty repressed
memory experts,
will help you determine
your problem--
(static surges)
if you call now, the
Moriarty law firm
repressed memory experts,
will help you
determine your problems
Is your child having
difficulty in school?
Involved in drugs?
In drugs? Call
the Moriarty firm.
Hundred, five, five,
five, seven, three,
child having
difficulty in school?
Involved in drugs?
(explosion)
(screams)
- Call your father,
get him over here.
Don't leave the house!
- Bob!
Bob!
(jazz music)
- Someone is
threatening our plans,
we must find out who it is.
Perhaps it's a member
of the committee?
What if we eliminate
one member at random,
frighten the rest?
- Oh, sir.
- Yes?
- Oh, nothing.
- No, go on.
- Well, if you make one
of the members disappear,
wont the others see
you as disloyal?
- To what are we loyal?
- We're loyal to our clients.
- To what are we loyal?
- We're loyal to each other.
- To what are we loyal?
We are loyal to the money
and our clients must learn
to trust that loyalty.
We'll work out of the
command center from now on.
- Command center?
- It's in the basement,
lead shielded in a
electrified vault.
The CIA couldn't wire tap
a monitor in this place.
- What's the point?
- Security and surveillance.
- Surveillance?
- Incredible surveillance.
- Oh, God.
(inaudible talking)
(phone rings)
- ER.
- Mary, do you know where
Bob could have gone?
- Who is this?
- It's Kate!
- Honey, I don't know where
he is, this is his day off.
- Oh, God.
- They don't really
seem as bad as you say.
- Trust me, you just
don't know them yet,
they are horrible--
- The meeting has
already started,
why was I told the wrong time?
- It's on the brochure.
- I was told the wrong time,
that is why I'm late.
- [Man on intercom]
Today's Moriarty seminar's,
now in room 101. The
frivolous lawsuit, room 201.
Acting for lawyers,
(snickering)
- Well that one
was kind of snotty.
- At least you know where
you stand with that one,
it's his polite ones
that scare me the most.
- There is no
jeopardy to our plans,
as long as we
discover the source.
- What's all this for?
- I designed all this myself,
I like to watch what
goes on at the office.
These computers contain complete
files on our attorney's,
their clients. Opposing
attorney's and their clients.
Their families, their
children, their personalities.
Income, credit rating,
marital status,
marital infidelities.
(chuckles)
You and Rose--
- Uh, sir, look,
I try to keep it
out of the office,
but he's like the nicest--
- Use the computers to look
for any obvious connection
between Longstreet,
Sumner and Pendalton.
I'll review the video taps.
- [Man on intercom] Today's
Moriarty law seminars,
now in room 101 the
frivolous lawsuit
Room 201, acting for lawyers.
- Where's Moriarty?
- Um, maybe he's down the hall?
(dramatic music)
- That one was really scary.
- [Man on Intercom] You
learn the law in law school,
now the Moriarty firm teach you
how to become a real lawyer,
a Moriarty lawyer. Moriarty
law seminars now in session.
Be prompt, Moriarty law--
(explosion)
- Which seems to go
bad in about 12 years,
cause that is as good
as anyone can do,
but we sue the company anyway.
They are going to quit
making their particular
plastic palamer.
So no more heart valves,
what do we do?
The heart valves are mated,
the more people will die.
- No, don't give us
your civilian ethics.
Young man, this is a
Moriarty law firm course.
- Well, maybe we need to
back off on the lawsuits
for a while, I mean,
nobody can sue them
if they're out of business.
- Right! That is how
you define greed,
when you milk the cow so
hard it could kill it.
(electricity surging)
- As a professional
psychologist, I urge
you to recognize
that spouses are
frustrated and insecure.
Divorce is as traumatic
as death of a loved one
for most people.
Now, for the Doe's.
Give good advice
and create a team
of two lawyers working
together to help two people
suffering through
the paint of divorce.
Don't use the
children as weapons,
(electricity surging)
A developing child,
when pitted against a,
- Your client has just killed
his parents with a pitchfork,
are you going to use the
standard use defense?
The jury must not only
feel your clients pain,
they must also feel you
feeling your clients pain!
Gestures must be large,
not too effusive,
be in the moment!
(electricity surging)
(explosion)
- Moriarty!
I'm going to get you!
(wind blowing)
(alarm wailing)
- What the hell was that?
- Power surge?
- That was the Devil.
- Excuse me?
- Oh, present company
excluded, sir.
- No, something very
powerful nearly got to us
and killed us
- A laser?
- No, something else.
- A big laser?
- No, something very
powerful and intermittent,
probably working on
a subatomic level.
Something so far beyond your,
our science as we know it.
If it weren't for the
100 thousand volts
that encases this
vault, we'd all be dead.
- Don't let me get in your way.
Get me the police.
- Reports continue to come
in from all over Chicago.
We now take you live downtown
to the Moriarty firm,
where Tonya O'Neal
is standing by.
- George, all of the lawyers
here have disappeared.
The police are not
saying anything,
there are no official
statements. It's of note,
that absolutely no none
lawyers have disappeared.
Receptionist, secretaries and
even paralegals all unharmed.
These random disappearances
of lawyers seemed
to be connected, but how
is not exactly clear.
- Keep checking these tapes.
The answer is in
there somewhere.
- [TV Woman] But at this time
we are unable to get through.
(laughing)
(phone ringing)
- Hello?
- Who is this?
- It's for you.
- Well, I am at my grandmothers.
That was my aunt.
- Well give granny and
auntie a big kiss from me
and get your ass over here, now.
- Gotta go.
- [Both] No, no!
- No, no, no, I really gotta go.
(laughing)
- My, my, my.
- How could something
like this happen?
- I don't know how he
could've gotten in here,
I run this place
like a fortress.
- This is Tonya O'Neal--
- I got video
cameras everywhere!
- reporting live from
the Moriarty building.
(exhales)
- How many disappeared?
- 104, mostly Moriarty
lawyer trainees,
some junior partners,
five lawyer speakers
and one acting coach.
- What about the
woman still here?
- I've had people fall asleep
during lectures before,
but never disappear.
- I got the lowdown from
one of the secretaries,
you know the ones
who disappeared?
She refers to them as
dishonest bastards.
- What are you telling
me, some kind of scum-ball
detector comes through and
he evaporates everyone?
- We pulled in everyone we can.
- FBI?
- Two forensics teams coming
in today on a charter,
while the evidence is fresh
and a bigger investigation team
coming in in the morning.
- What evidence?
Look I need all
the help I can get.
- I've got him on the
phone now lieutenant.
- Who?
- Moriarty.
- Oh, Moriarty, okay.
Uh, Mr. Moriarty, I got
some bad news for you,
all the participants in your
seminar have disappeared.
- The good news is the
secretaries are still alive.
- Will you cut it out with
the secretaries already?
Oh, no, no, not you, sir, no.
- Oh my God, this
is hard to believe.
Yes, I understand,
of course, of course
and yes lieutenant,
just as soon as I can.
Thank you very much,
but no you have,
you have the really
hard job. Thank you,
yes, thank you,
thank you, goodbye.
(phone beeps)
Entire lawyer trainee
class disappeared.
- That's impossible.
- How?
- Not known, but I'll bet
you anything it has something
to do with that force
that we felt down here.
- Kate?
- Mary! Thank God
you're here
- Oh, listen,
thought I'd better drop
by you sounded desperate.
What's going on?
- Mary, I don't
know where to start.
- Doctor, Moriarty,
(electricity surging)
Kate! (laughs)
I did it, I did it!
(laughs)
Oh, baby I got 'em!
I got 'em all!
(electricity surging)
Oh God! Mary, what
are you doing here?
- What in the, I was afraid
of something like this!
What have those
lawyers done to him?
- Oh Mary, I don't think
it was just the lawyers.
- Any obvious correlations?
- Not here.
- Me neither,
everything looks
like a long shot.
- Go to high speed scan.
- Oh, um, I'm um, I didn't
take typing, sir so I'm,
Oh.
(funky music)
Dammit, John! You said
I was the only one.
- But, you are the only, oh.
Uh, I lied.
- Will you two knock it
off please we, oh, Lisa.
- Isn't that my dress?
- [Both] Not anymore.
- Excuse me, ladies, would
you happen to know where a
Doctor Robert Lee lives in
the neighborhood, do you?
- [Both] oh, you can
head towards that way.
Oh, no you're right, it's there.
- No! you know what,
- It's the third house,
- Thank you, thank
you very much.
Thank you, you're very,
very kind, yeah thanks.
- Stop it right there,
that's him, when was this taken?
- Just before our seminar
lawyers disappeared.
- Wasn't he the defendant
in the Longstreet case?
Uh, what's his name?
- Lee,
- Lee!
- Robert Lee, he
was the defendant in
the Longstreet case,
sir those were the
first two to disappear.
- That's our man,
what ever power he possesses
is incredibly advanced.
Seems that we're going to
have to get Doctor Lee,
before he gets us.
- Uh, Sir, shouldn't we
call the police and the FBI?
- Oh, please. I'm the
only person on this planet
who knows what that
device can really do.
You realize how they
view us don't you?
- Who, sir?
- The police, the FBI.
- They don't like us.
(laughs)
- No, they hate us.
We're going to have to
do this one on our own.
Scarface will get us guns.
- Guns? You mean you want us
to take them on ourselves?
- Why are we the wealthiest
law firm in history?
- Uh, oh we are the
best and the brightest.
(exhales) Freemont,
what was your
law school graduating rank?
- Uh, third from the
bottom, I'm afraid.
- We've got street smarts?
- Why are we number one?
- We bust out ass,
we come early,
we stay late, we over charge?
- Any fool can do
that. We are number one
because we scare the
hell out of people
and that's exactly what
our clients want us to do.
They know that we'll use
any trick, any scheme to win
and if they jerk us around
they know they'll get it back
10 times over. That's
why we're number one
and now some jerk,
some guy out there,
with this weird power is trying
to take all that away from us!
Well we are not going to
let that happen, are we?
- No, we are not, sir.
- Are we?
- [Both] No, no!
- Are we? Are we? Are we?
- [Both] No, no, no!
- [All} No, no, no, no, no!
- Let's get him!
- [Both] Yeah!
- Reports of the disappearance
of lawyers all over
the United States
continue to pour in.
Reports are coming from
New York, Washington,
Miami, Dallas,
Atlanta, Minneapolis
and hundreds of small towns.
A case that was all ready--
- Kate, Kate! Get in here quick!
- What, what?
- The highest ranking official
left in the administration
is the secretary of health,
she will be speaking soon as,
oh, one second. This just in,
this is from our
affiliate in Los Angeles.
They are reporting the
disappearance of all lawyers.
(laughing)
In all my five
years of reporting,
I have never experienced
anything like this.
- Bobby look, I don't know
what's going on here, but,
(whistles)
I'm a little scared.
(screaming back and forth)
(grunts)
- Thank you.
See? All better.
- What the? You again!
- Oh, look!
(stealthy music)
(muttering)
- Ah, yeah.
Ha, ha!
- So this anger
device is the cause?
- Well the anger
amplification device takes,
well all the negative emotions
that we all feel from,
anger, hostility,
anything negative
and amplifies it
and then channels
it through a single individual.
Makes him tremendously powerful.
- Thousands of lawyers
have disappeared, Bob,
some of our best
friends are lawyers.
- [Both] Were lawyers.
(stealthy music)
(grunts)
- Oh, there is a glimmer
of hope for your friend,
Bob, Bob is it?
- Yeah, what?
- Uh, it's just that we designed
the AAD to generate total
and complete forgetfulness
in our enemies.
- Yeah, but does that
work for our species?
- Boy, I don't know. I mean, I,
well there are some
brains similarities,
but I, I really am not sure.
Oh, did I mention that
your house is surrounded
by angry lawyers and
they're fully armed.
- Can you kill
'em? Paralyze 'em!
- Oh, no, no, no, no, I
can't do anything like that,
not at all.
- What? Well what can you do?
You're the one that
got us into this mess!
- Well, I can
apologize for having
created any
inconvenience for you
and then I can just say Adios!
(yells)
Sorry, just a
little alien humor.
(laughing)
(stealthy music)
- Oh!
- There was something things
I could have asked him.
All the questions
of the universe.
- Yeah, I didn't get a name
- I didn't get a picture.
- I didn't get that
hair, you know?
- Yeah, that was kinda weird.
- Yeah, yeah the hair.
Oh well, I finally feel better.
- How can you feel better?
We're surrounded by a gang
of angry lawyers with guns!
- Because now, I finally
know what's going on!
(gun fires)
- I think I heard something.
- Ah! The phone is dead.
- Oh, I see one
going to the back!
- No, get away from the window!
- Should we make run for it?
- I don't think
we'd make it, look,
kill the lights, lock the doors,
I'll try to find something
to use as a weapon.
- [Both] Okay!
- Oh and Kate, Mary, be careful.
They're armed and
they're dangerous.
- Well, hell,
they'll try anything!
They're lawyers, aren't they?
- Oh, Bob! Bob, it's gone!
- Come on!
- Just when I really needed it.
- Did anyone escape
from the house?
- They're still in there,
I saw somebody before
the lights went out.
- I may have hit someone.
- Excellent.
Let's go.
(upbeat funky music)
(cocks gun)
- Oh, thank you.
What?
I don't know what that
means, just tell me!
- You have to be,
- Just tell me, just tell me!
- Quiet!
Entirely too much noise,
now, I'm going out
and walk the perimeter.
You check around here,
listen carefully.
Make sure no one attempts
to escape by jumping
from the second floor.
- Affirmative.
- Alright.
(clanking)
(gun fires)
- Ow!
Stop shooting,
you idiot it's me!
- Freemont, is that you?
- Yes! You shot me in the leg!
- Oh, let me help.
- Yeah, you better help
me, look at this thing,
Ow! Stop that!
- What's going on here?
- I'm shot! This asshole
shot me in the leg!
- Is that it?
- Ow!
- It's barely bleeding.
- I'm shot!
- Get up on your feet!
- It hurts like hell!
- Get up on your feet,
we need you! Come on!
- I'm down, I tell you!
- You wimp!
- You're with me
now, aren't you?
- Well shouldn't
- Aren't you?
- I clean the blood up
- Aren't you?
- I don't want to
- Aren't you?
- leave a mess
- Aren't you?
Aren't you? Aren't you?
- Well, alright,
- Yes, yes, yes
- Yes, yes, yes
- [Both] Yes!
- Good, you go first.
(cocks gun)
I'll cover you.
(grunts)
(thumping)
- Good weapon!
- Get behind me!
- Wait, wait, wait!
- Wait a second, wait a second,
what is your average?
- 110?
- Exactly.
(rumbling)
- Yes!
- Hide!
- Well,
since you're using bowling
balls to defend yourselves.
I assume that you have no guns
and that the AAD is inactive.
You have 10 seconds to
hand it over, Doctor.
Otherwise, I'm
going to kill you.
- it's not here,
I don't have it.
- You're wasting our time,
Doctor, I want it now.
- It's gone, It's probably
light-years away from here.
- Where are the others, Doctor?
(scoffs) Perhaps
they're in the closet?
(cocks gun)
Oh, it was already loaded.
- Moriarty,
it's over.
- You fool,
you think that you
can destroy me?
You've only set my plans back,
you are a minor obstacle,
that I'm about to
remove permanently.
- Wait! Before you do, I
just have to say on thing,
I love you.
- Do you expect me
to fall for that?
Ow!
- Got the gun!
Alright, help me
tie him up, Kate!
Alright, now Mary,
- Yeah?
- Go use the car phone
and call for help.
- Okay.
- Hey!
- Ow!
- Who are you?
- I'm shot!
- So where's your gun?
- Right here.
- Let me take a look at that,
what are you supposed
to be anyway?
- Ah, that's nothing, honey!
- Ow!
- You know what a 12 gauge
would do to you? Don't move.
(phone beeping)
- Put it down.
Now we are going to walk
very slowly into the house
and see what's going on.
- Neighborhood
watch, you asshole.
- Doctor, doctor will I live?
- I'm not a doctor.
- What a cannon, reminds
me of Desert Storm.
- Yeah, the good old days.
- Oh, hey guys, I
need a stretcher here.
- What are you talking about,
moron? It's just a scratch,
your partner has a concussion.
- Excuse me, former partner.
Now I wanna make a deal
and I wanna go out of
here on a stretcher.
Any of the networks here yet?
- Who is that guy?
- I don't know, some
jumoke with a French hat.
- Uh, excuse me, flat
foot, it's call a beret.
- Are we rolling guys?
Excuse me, excuse me,
so you're saying you were shot
by one of the perpetrators?
- Uh, yes, I was shot by
one of my former partners
as I attempted to
stop this break in.
I also have extensive
documentation of
a major conspiracy
that will shock the nation.
- No, lieutenant, lieutenant,
please, just a moment,
lieutenant, of your time.
Just a moment, sir, please?
What I want to explain is,
that I am Americas
last best hope.
I was about to move this
great American system of ours
closer to perfection.
The American people are
children and they need me.
- [Radio] Unit 72,
what is your 20?
- Wait right here.
- Yes.
- You wont move?
- No.
- [Radio] Unit seven,
two, what is your 20?
- I believe in the
law, lieutenant.
- [Woman over radio]
Mike, where'd you go?
- Unit 72.
- [Radio] Mike, we
just had a couple
of weird calls from
Washington. FBI, CIA,
they say they've got
forensic teams scheduled
to fly in to investigate
but no one knows
what it's all about.
- Ah!
(electricity surges)
(funky music)
- [Radio] Thought you might
know something about this.
- That's strange,
I vaguely recall something
about it, training seminar,
better cancel till we get
more information, 10-4.
- Hey, where's the guy?
- What guy?
- The guy who was with you.
- What, who?
- Got a light?
- Who are the Cubs
playing this weekend?
- I hate the Cubs.
- Uh, you don't happen to have
your handcuff keys on you,
do you?
- Oh Mary, you should have seen,
I nailed him
- I saw that.
- I meant what I said.
- Oh, yeah, well
then, say it again.
- Come on, McGus, let
me give you a ride.
I think they want to be alone.
- What? Somebody's gotta be
holding a gun to your head?
- Hey! That's my
little daughter.
(laughs)
- I know, Gus.

(glass breaking)
- Ah! This looks like
an important place.
Oh!
(rowdy chatter)
- Hey!
Get away from there!
- Ah! Could you tell me--
- You outta not touch my hog!
- [Man] Whaddya think you're--
- Wait!
(electric surges)
- What happened to Pork Chop?
- [Moriarty] Well,
I, um, I just wanted,
I can to talk and
these, I don't,
- You've been
messing with my bike.
- No, I didn't!
(electric surges)
(grunting)
- Wait, don't, you
don't understand! I ha--
(grunting)
- Oh! Oh no!
Wait! I must
retrieve the device!
- What are you?
Some kind of
hillbilly, rockabilly,
lounge lizard, backup singer?
(grunting)
(clanking)
(electric surging)
- What did you do to him?
- Oh, man!
- Hold on, move!
- Hey, what happen?
- Hey, somebody

- [Man] Do something!
- [Woman] Do something!
- [Man] Move man, move!
- [Woman] Get that guy!
- Come back here!
I am going to eat you alive!
Get back here!
- [Alien] Your report?
- Everything is going
very, very well sir.
I just made contact with
one of their leaders.
- [Alien] Friendly?
- Uh, no sir, actually,
uh quite hostile, extremely rude
and not very helpful at all.
- [Alien] Have you
located the fugitive?
- Uh, no sir, not yet,
but I am very please
with my progress.
- [Alien] You have
strict orders,
vaporize the fugitive
and return immediately.
- Yes, sir.
- [Alien] Be extremely
careful with the device,
if a human were to control it,
it could lead to the destruction
of the entire species.
- Uh-oh.
- Alright, what do we got?
- We've got no VP, no
respiration, major head trauma,
we've been pumping this
guy since we got him.
- Well keep pumping because
this guy is still moving.
- I've got a line
in, what do you want?
- Just control his
thrashing, please.
(giggling)
- I hate hospitals.
- Rheumalin stat!
- Oh! Bingo.
- Bring him over
Anybody know this guys name?
- Mooster Willigar,
with a T!
- Has he got any
drugs or medication?
(laughs)
- I don't believe this.
How's his heart monitor at?
- Straight line.
- How can it be flat-line
with these seizures?
- Alright, let's jazz it up,
I want one bicarb
and one at heavy
and get neuro down here please!
- Watch for blood he's
got needle tracks.
- This guy dies,
your ass is mine!
This guy's my buddy!
- You're not helping your
buddy out very much--
- You hear me?
- Get out of here.
- You are responsible
if he dies!
- Somebody please get
this guy outta here!
- Get outta here!
- Where is security?
- Teared up inside.
- Fanny, that is the most
beautiful ass I've ever seen.
Just wait till my
buddy gets better
you gotta come ride
with us, you hear?
- Back off mister!
We've got work to do!
- How's his airway?
- His airway's okay.
But he's bleeding
actively from both ears,
this guy is dead.
- How could he still
be moving Mary?
What happens when
I stop pumping?
- Straight lines.
- I'm gonna shock him.
- Bob! There's
never been a pulse
or blood pressure!
This guy is dead.
- With these head injuries
I can guarentee you
he's brain dead.
- Quit talking and get
to work saving my buddy.
- That's what we're
trying to do here sir,
give me a hundred.
All right, clear!
- Clear!
- Anything?
- Straight line.
- Two hundred and clear.
- Clear.
- Monitor?
- Straight line.
- Are you sure that
thing is plugged in?
- Mary?
- Yeah?
- Where's security?
- They're on their way, I hope.
- Yeah you better make whoever
comes out of there assume
some action for us.
- He'll be alright.
- Yeah, we'll just
get in here and,
- Okay everybody, He's
brain dead, heart dead,
multiple skull fractures, only
reason we're still working
on him is he has minor seizing
and that seems to be going.
Anyone disagree with stopping?
- Not me
- [Man] Let's stop it.
- Okay, I'm calling it.
- Let's call it.
- [Doctor] TOD 3:05
- TOD 3:05
(exhales)
(ambient music)
(electricity surges)
(breathing heavily)
- What's going on?
- Uh, I don't know,
I mean, you're friend
had a terrible accident,
we did everything we
possibly could but um,
he didn't make it, I'm sorry.
- You're gonna be a
hell of a lot sorrier.
- Hey!
We don't deserve
this stuff from you!
- Butt out, Jumbo!
(electricity surging)
(dramatic music)
- We have had a enough,
do you understand me?
Now get out!
(grunting)
You too.
- Oh, he hurt my back!
I wanna X- ray!
- [Woman] At least
give him some morphine?
- What's going on?
- Oh, you didn't hurt
anything else, did ya?
- Oh, no.
- Give us a call.
- Moriarty Firm,
hey, you're them lawyers on TV!
- We can help.
- Moolah for mama.
- Yeah.
(bongo music)
- Hey, mister!
- Uh, yeah, miss, I was
wondering if perhaps you
could tell me who, was there
anyone near that gentlemen
when he died, perhaps?
- Lot's of people,
are you a friend?
- Well, no, I don't really
think the relationship
would have been worked out--
- Look, if you're a
relative we'll talk to you.
- Well, I was wondering, did
you find anything in his hand?
- huh?
- A small round disc?
uh, perhaps, oh!
This is the call list,
were these people,
I just, oh look!
- I don't have time for this
- No, really, look!
- Security!
Still here? Security!
- Oh, no! No, no, that's
fine, I'm outta here.
I'm gone, I just go home.
- [Nurse] Security!
- Oh my God, he went that way!
- What is going on?
(footsteps)
- Well, here we are.
- The fabled Monday strategy
meeting, senior partners only.
Is this is? Is Moriarty gonna
make me a senior partner?
- Uh, no, not today.
He's just testing you, see
whether you measure up.
- What do I say?
- Always say, the right thing.
Moriarty doesn't
sufferer fools, gladly.
Oh!
(exhales)
- Mm, oh.
- Here we go,
- Okay, well thank you.
(jazz music)
- He's expecting you.
- [Moriarty] The next with
gathering is Saturday,
I've personally invited
some of you along.
I want absolutely nothing
to go wrong, is that clear?
You have that list
of legislative action
for family and divorce law?
- [Man] Who's gonna divorce,
designed for a
maximum indication.
- Longstry, what about the
criminal law legislation?
Excellent.
- [Man] Our people
have penetrated all--
- Little gathering?
- It's big, really big.
Some of the biggest lawyers
in the country are
gonna be there.
Nobody's ever tried
anything like this before,
there's no stopping
Moriarty once
we put this plan into action.
- [Man] We'll be able
to make any decision
without first
consulting a lawyer.
Preferably a Moriarty lawyer.
- I notice that your
Qantro verse Lee
malpractice is coming up?
Congratulations on getting
that trial so soon,
most inventive.
- We'll crush him like a insect.
- I want him more than crushed.
- Okay, we'll pull
off his wings and legs
and let him die slowly.
(All chuckles)
- I want vegetables
on that jury.
- Vegetarians?
(rumbles)
(dishes clattering)
- Vegetables not vegetarians,
no one with a IQ over 65.
- It's done.
- Excellent.
(All chuckles)
(ambient chatter)
- Crutches, crutches!
(exclaims in pain)
- Practice!
- Huh?
Practice!
- Oh,
Jury!
(exclaims in pain)
- Are you okay?
- Uh, yeah.
I haven't been sleeping well.
- Just be alert
and look sharp, eh?
Hey! We're going to show the
jury what a bullshit scam
for money this is, kick some
butt and walk out winners.
Don't worry!
- [bailiff] All rise,
circa court for Spotsylvania
County is now in session,
the honorable Roger Tanny
presiding, please be seated.
(electronic beeping)
- [Sir] Your report?
- [Alien] uh, well sir,
I'm actually blending
in very nicely,
it's a incredibly smooth
transition. Tell you the truth,
sir, I'm beginning to
feel like I'm one of them.
But I do have a slightly
larger problem, sir,
I no longer posses the device.
- [Sir] What happened?
- Well, I've seemed
to have lost it.
- [Sir] Abandon the
original mission,
your new objective
is retrieve the AAD.
You may be in great
danger without it.
- [Alien] Well, sir,
I was just wondering,
what, just hypothetically of
course, what happens if I,
uh, can't find it?
- [Sir] You wont be able to
return without the device.
- [Alien] Aha, I see, ha.
- [Sir] If you do not
retrieve the AAD we will have
to destroy the entire
city with you in it,
we have no choice.
- [Alien] Uh, yes, sir,
then it is very fortunate
that I have all
these leads, sir.
(electronic beep)
- Has the jury
reached a verdict?
- We have, your honor and we'd
like to know if it's possible
to award more money than
was originally asked
for by our plaintiff.
(cheering)
(laughs)
- Whoo!
- Oh, baby! You know
where we're going now?
- To the talk shows?
- All the talk shows!
- Order, order!
This court is adjourned.
Well, Doctor Lee, I
don't know about you
but had a tough day.
Better luck next time.
(exclaims in pain)
You Moriarty guys
put on quite a show.
- Hey, gotta earn my 60%.
- 60% of the damages?
- You are in line for a
little legal education, eh?
come with me, we
got some talking.
Listen, you made some
good moves in there, Ed,
you should be proud of yourself.
- Well, I had to be my best,
I was up against
Moriarty, wasn't I?
- Well listen, there's lawyers
and then there's more lawyers
and then there's
Moriarty lawyers.
Let's go get us a drink, eh?
- Okay.
(rock music)
(inaudible chatter)
- Remember me?
- Sorry, no.
- I bet you're the only
guy in here who's not a
judge or a lawyer.
My son, the emergency room.
- Um, baseball, busted
lip, six stitches?
We had to keep him
over night, right?
- Right.
- Hows he doing?
- He's fine, thanks.
So, what are you having?
- Uh, anything, beer.
- You know, I never had the
opportunity to thank you,
properly.
- What do you think
about working for the
Moriarty law firm?
- Sounds good but uh, I'm
not sure I have that killer
instinct that you
Moriarty guys have.
- Wise up, you're
too bright a guy
to be working on a salary.
Listen, Moriarty is
planning something big.
I can't tell you what
it is just now but,
believe me this is a
major big time move.
Eh, I like you, I
want you in on it.
- I'm game.
- So hows everything
at your place?
- You know how it is, you guys
sue 'em and we defend 'em.
(laughs) Here's to a
little pre-enterprise
and the good doctor.
- So what's going on here, Ed?
You're joining Moriarty?
Did you make a deal with
this scumbag before my trial?
Did you? Answer me!
- Relax, Bob, sit
down for one minute.
It's not what you
think on the job offer.
- Hey, doc help me out,
it hurts when I
do this! (laughs)
- When I'm handling your case,
I'm your lawyer I fight
for you. It's just that,
lawyers are trained to see
both sides of the picture.
- Don't give me that
lawyer double talk,
you lost an open and
shut case for me, Ed
and now you're working
for the other side!
- You heard things
out of context,
when I work for you I'm
on your side! It's a,
I fight for you,
I'm your lawyer!
- I heard you, Ed,
it's the truth!
- It's not true if
you can't prove it.
- Whenever you're ready doctor.
- I'll take care of this, I
don't think you can afford
to pick up any more tabs.
(laughs)
Hey listen, I'll knock five
million off the jury award,
we'll settle the whole
thing right here right now,
no more hassles!
- What so every time I cover
the ER for the next 50 years,
I'll be working for that
slug who sued me and you?
I'd rather be dead.
- That's your choice! (laughs)
- Look, Bob, I was
working for you.
Now I just might work
for the other side,
there's nothing
illegal about that.
(sighs)
(electricity surging)
- I'm sorry,
but I want all you
lawyers out of my life!
(grunts)
(breathing heavily)
What happened?
- You okay?
- Where did they go?
- I don't know.
You better get out of here!
- Oh! Sorry.
- Excuse me.
(sirens wailing distantly)
- I'm gonna need
a drink for this.
- Get the names, the
address and phone numbers
and make sure that they sign
the statement before
they leave, got it?
Rookie.
- Nah, I drink with
the guy, he's alright.
- No blood.
- No bodies.
(camera flashes)
- Just this credit card.
- A cigar.
(inhales)
- Cuban.
- Doesn't make any sense.
- They just disappeared.
Will you cut it out?
That goes for you too!
Alright, come on,
we gotta frisk you.
- Oh!
(upbeat funky music)
- Police have no clue
explain the disappearance
of two lawyers but it is an
episode reported earlier,
- Hey! That was Bob's lawyer
and the Moriarty lawyer.
What's going on?
(dramatic music)
(phone beeps)
(phone ringing)
- Hello?
It's for you.
- Hello?
It's for you.
- Hello?
- Someone's gotten
to Longstreet.
I wanna know who.
- Yes, sir, right away.
- I have top level
attorneys coming in
from all over the country
and I want some answer now.
(phone beeps)
(scoffs)
- How did he know where I was?
How did he know this number?
(footsteps)
- Hey Bob, what's up?
- Working on some stuff.
- Quantum physics.,
ah well, that stuff.
- I have energy
applied to substance,
something the vibration level--
- Are you okay, Bob?
- It's called,
breaking the electrical
magnetic charge,
was the inotropic effect
of de-materialization.
- Bob,
- Yeah?
- are you okay?
Look, I mean, losing
the case, the whole,
way things happened. The
ridiculous word, I mean,
you gotta, you gotta
give yourself a break!
- Okay, no, not yet,
you don't understand,
uh, something happened,
I don't know what it is
and I'm not even sure
if it did happen.
(exclaims in surprise)
(electric surging)
Dammit, Kate!
Can you please keep
that thing in your bag?
- Colleges, the law is the
basis of our American society.
It is the best legal
system in the world.
Now, we must evolve
to the next level,
we must become a nation
not only governed by laws,
but by lawyers.
(chair squeaks)
- Mr. M, how stands the senate?
- The majority are lawyers,
the senate will be with
us on the crucial issues.
- Mr. N?
- You've had an
unexplained disappearance
in your firm recently,
I believe he was uh,
recruiting state legislators.
- That wont effect
our plans at all.
- We must be very careful
- Are you in?
- Labors covered,
all systems go.
- Mr. E, as representative
of our nations
largest consumer advocate group
and some of our most
profitable litigation,
how do you stand?
- Everything's in place.
- Excellent.
Mr. Y?
- The business lawyers are in.
(inaudible talking)
- Ms. R, the White House?
- There is a limit to how
much I can expose to you.
- Well, ma'am, I
think we could use
a little bit of assurance.
- Sir, I wouldn't be here
without the knowledge of my,
um, boss.
- I think that's about all
the reasonable assurance
that we can expect.
Now, Mr. X?
Your decision, please.
- As the representative of
the FBI, I am a little leery
of you having the drug cartel
legal representative here,
this part bothers me.
- The legal system
drains off huge
profits from this enterprise.
Would you rather that
money stay in the hands
of the drug lords?
- Some people think there
are too many law suites.
(scoffs)
- Now, don't be inane Mr X,
lawyers don't sue people,
people sue people.
(all laughs)
- I hear that!
- I'm afraid I'm going to
have to decline participation.
- Mr. X, did you enter
this meeting armed?
(dramatic music)
- Guilty as charged.
- And I noticed that your
right hand suite pocket
sagged a bit, pocket
tap recorder perhaps?
- You're very observant.
I have decided this meeting
should be in the public form.
I'm out of here.
(electricity surges)
- Damn!
(electricity surges)
(exclaims in pain)
Somebody help her up.
- [Ms. R] What the?
- If there are no
further questions,
(chuckles) Sorry,
just my little joke.
This meeting is over.
- I didn't know there was
gonna be a drug guy here!
Did you know he
had a tap recorder?
Do you know what this could
do to my political career?
- Well, thought the
meeting went very well.
- Well? Jesus a man died
and we almost lost
the attorney general!
- If you're gonna
play, play to win.
- I want to concentrate
all our efforts
on the disappearance
of Longstreet.
Go get me that file.
- Oh, yeah, I'll go get it.
- May I have a word, sir?
- Yes.
- That murder trial last
year, I got the man accursed
of being a serial
rapist off free.
- Oh yes, excellent
publicity for the firm.
- Well he's just been charged
with raping two more women
and I'm due to defend him again.
- Congratulations, this
is a golden opportunity.
A gift, careers are
made on cases like this.
The American people don't
understand how hard we work,
the price that we
pay for our success.
How they make their lousy
little lawyer jokes,
they belittle us while
we keep them free.
Good trial attorney doesn't
just sell his brains,
energy and expertise.
He sells his clients
soul and now,
we're about to move
this magnificent system
closer to perfection
and some day, they
will thank us.
- Yes, sir, I'm sure they will.
- Don't touch the bowl, go away.
- Hey, doc! How you been?
Want a beer?
- Uh, no thanks, Gus.
- Here, have a beer!
Sit down and relax,
watch the game.
So what kind of doctor are you?
- I work in ER.
- You knew that, dad.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, ER doc, huh?
So what's that, it
means you do everything?
Ah, hit 'em!
- Actually it's become
a specialty of it's own.
- Did he see that?
So, you do surgery?
- Um, minor surgery
and if anything big
and I have to call in a surgeon.
- Oh so, you just decide
what specialist to call, eh?
- Well, there's a little
bit more to it than that.
- Ah, I don't believe this!
I remember when I was a
kid, something went wrong,
you went to the family
doctor and was taken care of.
Eh, you see this?
- Chips?
- You made the papers.
Emergency room physician,
Robert Lee, was found
to be negligent in the care--
- Dad, dad,dad, we don't
need to hear that right now.
- The sum awarded is one
of the highest in
the areas history.
Doctor Lee was said to settled
the cases out of court,
he says to avoid the
aggravation of a trial.
He's now at risk of losing
his license, furthermore,
what, what, what, what?
Hey, doc we know
you're a good doctor.
You know, let's us go bowling
together one of these nights.
(bongo music)
(doorbell rings)
- Yes?
- Mr. Lee?
I need to speak with you.
- Do I know you?
- I was serving you at the
bar the other night, remember?
May I come in?
(scoffs)
Doctor Lee, I really
need you to help me.
- What do you want?
- I saw what happened
the other night.
- I'm not sure what
happened myself.
- Well, I didn't see it all but,
one minute you guys were talking
and the next minute there
was this flash of light
and you made a
really strange noise.
- That's pretty
much all I remember.
- Oh! Wait a minute,
there I am.
- And you say you
don't recall anyone
else with the two lawyers?
- Right.
- Uh, thank you.
The police are refusing
to make any statements-
- My memory can get better.
- Refusing to say if
these events are related
to the similar biker
disappearance reported earlier.
- Look, I don't know what
you're trying to do here
but I'm not a rich man, in
fact I'm completely broke
and I don't feel like living
my life in a blackmail.
- Wait!
You don't understand.
I'm divorced,
my ex-husband owes
me child support.
- Well I'm not an enforcer of
delinquent husbands either.
- Will you shut up and listen?
He's not the
problem, his lawyer.
He wont give me a cent unless
his lawyer tells him to
and his lawyer wont
do that unless I,
entertain him. I'm sick of it,
I can't do it anyway,
please! Doctor Lee,
you have to help me.
- Why don't you go to the police
or how about the
bar association?
- Other lawyers? Ha!
Don't make me laugh.
- I'm not your man.
- Sorry, but you are.
I saw your eyes after
those guys disappeared,
you may not be much
on ex-husbands,
but you're real
rough on lawyers.
- What are you saying?
- Look, I don't
care how you do it,
but I want that lawyer
out of my pants.
- Here.
- Get out with that thing!
- It's a safe gun--
- I'm sure it is.
- A drug dealer
lost it in the bar.
His name is Pendalton,
he's with the Moriarty firm.
- Another MF lawyer.
- Here's his address,
catch him at home, spook
him and my memory stays bad
about who was with those
guys when they disappeared.
Understand?
- Um, look,
I don't threaten people.
- I'm not gonna change my story,
but I really need your help.
- You say this guy
works for Moriarty?
Okay, I'll talk to your guy.
Not to threaten, just
try to reason with him.
- You're so good to me.
(muffled talking)
- Kate!
- Bob!
- Kate!
- Bob.
- Kate, you're home
early, how was class?
- You wanna tell
me what's going on?
- Um, oh, I would like
you to met Miss, um?
- Anna.
- Anna, Miss Anna!
- Carol.
- Carol Anna.
- Anna Carol.
- That's what I
meant. (chuckles)
- Oh, look at this, I better
help you get out of here.
Now, remember what I said,
stay off your feet there
and take care of that
gallbladder. Be very care,
Kate? Kate!
(door closes)
- I better go.
- I don't get this, she
came into the ER a year ago
and she just shows up now.
Why?
- I don't, she just
wanted to thank me.
- Thank you?
Thank you for what, Bob?
(scoffs)
- Dammit Kate, I'm a
doctor not a mind reader.
Look, it's just something
she felt she had to do,
but she did give me something.
- Oh and I don't give
you what you need?
- No, kate, it's
nothing like that.
She gave me Moriarty.
- Moriarty? She
gave you Moriarty?
- No, a connection to Moriarty.
It's gotta be him, I mean,
everything goes back to him.
Look, the Moriarty
lawyer prosecuted me,
and MF lawyer hung me
out to dry in my divorce.
My own lawyer was
going to join Moriarty
and she's even in
trouble with one.
It's gotta be more
than just coincidence
and every last one of
them is totally scum.
I just gotta find out.
- Are you gonna see her again?
- Who?
- Bob, the woman who
just left our house.
The one with the fake eyelashes
and the press on nails
and the push-up bra and the
dress three sizes too small.
- Fake eyelashes?
- Oh, no.
No, no, no.
(relaxing ambient music)

- Yes?
- Ms. Pendalton?
- Yes?
- I'm very sorry
to disturb you at this hour
but I need to speak
with your husband.
- Oh, no, we normally
don't entertain guests
or clients this late, I'm sor--
- I understand, but I,
it is very important.
- Well alright then, you
seem like a nice young man.
Come in.
- Thank you, ma'am.
(water flowing)
- Willy?
- What is it?
- This young man--
- You know I never
see clients out here.
- Yes, I know
dear, but he said--
- Alright, alright.
Since you're already here
might as well give you
the benefit of some free advice.
Most people wanna be
protected in a divorce,
usually have one thing to value.
At least above all the
rest, the house, a car,
boat, something they're
afraid of losing
so this is my advice. If
you wanna get a divorce,
buy two or higher me.
Have a good evening.
- Mutual acquaintance
asked me to see you,
a Miss Anna Carol.
You represent her ex-husband?
I think you know the story,
she wants you to stop.
- I have absolutely no idea
what you're talking about.
If you don't disappear
immediately I will
have you arrested
and proceed to tear
you from limb from limb
in both civil and criminal
court, am I perfectly clear?
- She just wants you
to leave her alone.
Look, she even gave me a gun.
- Put that gun down.
- I'm not going to use it,
I just want to show you
how desperate she is.
- I said put that gun down
now or we do not talk.
- Now, I wanna know,
who is Moriarty,
and why does he wanna
try and ruin my life?
- You are no longer
just a irritation,
you are a problem.
- Just a minute young man.
- Ah, Martha, just in
time. I'll call the police.
- No, no, no.
Don't touch the phone.
You know, Willy,
it's been a long, long marriage.
I heard what the
young man had to say,
I don't think a day has gone
by that I haven't thought
how nice it would be
if you had a clean,
quick fatal heart
attack or even a stroke.
When you passed your treadmill
test with flying colors,
(laughs) my heart sank.
I've known about your
affairs for years,
you don't just like to cheat
on me, you like to hurt women,
don't you? Mentally,
I've hurt fully.
- Oh, no, Martha Snookums,
it's all a pack of lies.
- I was it were,
I suppose divorce
was always an option,
but then who knows how to
make a divorce more painful
and more vicious than you?
(both chuckles)
No one,
young man?
I want you to shoot him.
- What?
- Take the gun and shoot him.
- Martha, stop this
silliness right now.
- Shoot him, now.
- Martha.
(cocks gun)
(dramatic music)
- No,
I'm not shooting anybody.
Not even him.
- Well, give it to me.
- You stupid old bat!
You don't know--
(gun fires)
(gagging)
(gun fires)
- He's dead.
- Whose gun is this?
- Belongs to a drug
dealer I'm told.
- Ah, perfect, young
man, come here.
I want you to put your
hands on the handle
and the trigger. I
want your pints on it.
(scoffs)
- No, ma'am. I didn't
kill your husband,
I'm not gonna put
my prints on there.
You can wipe them
off if you want,
but I didn't shoot anybody.
- Now, go on.
(humming)
(sirens wailing distantly)
- Gee, this would have
killed him any who.
- Probably.
- Pendalton, is he that
fancy divorce lawyer?
- Nah, nah he was
a slimy lowlife
who lied and cheated
and steals from
hardworking husbands,
whose wives spend it on their
lousy, stinking long hair,
tattooed boyfriends!
- Hey, Glase, you're a pro, huh?
- Okay!
- Settle down.
- Alright,
- You alright?
- I'm okay.
- Alright, I'm lettin' you go.
- Alright, okay.
(exhales heavily)
- That was Alice's
lawyer right? (laughs)
- Told you to never mention
her name to me again,
you son of a bitch!
- Jesus, come on,
he's already dead!
(thumping)
- Bob, we gotta talk.
- Go ahead.
- I can't talk to you
when you're bouncing up
and down like that.
- I can hear you.
- Just look at this.
- My God,
where did you get this?
- I thought you'd
be interested.
- Kate, there's
nothing in his file.
- Who is this guy?
- He doesn't exist.
- I gotta go.
- Bob, you can't
leave like this.
- Kate, I can't get
into this right now.
- Bob, you can't go to
the hospital like that!
- Please, I'm not
dealing with my anger
very well these days.
- Robert!
You're pants.
- More on the case of
the disappearing lawyers,
this is the second Moriarty
lawyer in the news this week.
First, James Longstreet
disappeared and now,
well known divorce
attorney, William Pendalton
of the Moriarty firm
was found shot to death.
You can take it
from this reporter,
we have not seen the
last of this case.
- I don't believe
this, what's going on?
- Channel five action
news will be there
to give you all the details.
- I want you to talk to all
the clients involved with
Longstreet and Pendalton.
- Yes, sir, right away.
- Someone is after us,
I wanna know who and
I wanna know now.
- We've changed that
number three times,
no one knows that number.
I don't know that number,
you don't know that number,
no one knows that number!
How does he know that number?
- [TV announcer] The 450 million
dollar Moriarty building,
is the symbol of this
mysterious billionaires
wealth and power.
It is the largest privately
owned building in the world.
Police are still trying to
connect the disappearance
of the two lawyers to the
bikers disappearance earlier.
Now this,
(doorbell rings)
(yells)
- I'm looking for Doctor Lee.
- Who are you?
- Police, just some
routine questions.
- Let me see your credentials.
What's this all
about, detective Wong?
- Just some routine questions.
- Ah, well Doctor Lee isn't in,
so if you wanna leave your
number I'll have him call you.
- Could you do that for me?
Call me any time, day or night.
(door slams)
(banging)
(sirens wailing)
- Is your child having
difficulty in school?
Involved in drugs?
Call the Moriarty firm
for a free consultation.
Nine times out of 10 we find
that your child's problems
are not your fault, but rather
due to medical negligence
at the time of delivery.
(door slams)
- Bob!
What did you do with Moriarty?
- Uh, left it at
the hospital, why?
- Some creep came by last night
and he said he was from
the police department,
but he had brief case and it
had the initials MF on it.
He gave me this business card.
- [Man on TV] If you call now,
the Moriarty repressed
memory experts,
will help you determine
your problem--
(static surges)
if you call now, the
Moriarty law firm
repressed memory experts,
will help you
determine your problems
Is your child having
difficulty in school?
Involved in drugs?
In drugs? Call
the Moriarty firm.
Hundred, five, five,
five, seven, three,
child having
difficulty in school?
Involved in drugs?
(explosion)
(screams)
- Call your father,
get him over here.
Don't leave the house!
- Bob!
Bob!
(jazz music)
- Someone is
threatening our plans,
we must find out who it is.
Perhaps it's a member
of the committee?
What if we eliminate
one member at random,
frighten the rest?
- Oh, sir.
- Yes?
- Oh, nothing.
- No, go on.
- Well, if you make one
of the members disappear,
wont the others see
you as disloyal?
- To what are we loyal?
- We're loyal to our clients.
- To what are we loyal?
- We're loyal to each other.
- To what are we loyal?
We are loyal to the money
and our clients must learn
to trust that loyalty.
We'll work out of the
command center from now on.
- Command center?
- It's in the basement,
lead shielded in a
electrified vault.
The CIA couldn't wire tap
a monitor in this place.
- What's the point?
- Security and surveillance.
- Surveillance?
- Incredible surveillance.
- Oh, God.
(inaudible talking)
(phone rings)
- ER.
- Mary, do you know where
Bob could have gone?
- Who is this?
- It's Kate!
- Honey, I don't know where
he is, this is his day off.
- Oh, God.
- They don't really
seem as bad as you say.
- Trust me, you just
don't know them yet,
they are horrible--
- The meeting has
already started,
why was I told the wrong time?
- It's on the brochure.
- I was told the wrong time,
that is why I'm late.
- [Man on intercom]
Today's Moriarty seminar's,
now in room 101. The
frivolous lawsuit, room 201.
Acting for lawyers,
(snickering)
- Well that one
was kind of snotty.
- At least you know where
you stand with that one,
it's his polite ones
that scare me the most.
- There is no
jeopardy to our plans,
as long as we
discover the source.
- What's all this for?
- I designed all this myself,
I like to watch what
goes on at the office.
These computers contain complete
files on our attorney's,
their clients. Opposing
attorney's and their clients.
Their families, their
children, their personalities.
Income, credit rating,
marital status,
marital infidelities.
(chuckles)
You and Rose--
- Uh, sir, look,
I try to keep it
out of the office,
but he's like the nicest--
- Use the computers to look
for any obvious connection
between Longstreet,
Sumner and Pendalton.
I'll review the video taps.
- [Man on intercom] Today's
Moriarty law seminars,
now in room 101 the
frivolous lawsuit
Room 201, acting for lawyers.
- Where's Moriarty?
- Um, maybe he's down the hall?
(dramatic music)
- That one was really scary.
- [Man on Intercom] You
learn the law in law school,
now the Moriarty firm teach you
how to become a real lawyer,
a Moriarty lawyer. Moriarty
law seminars now in session.
Be prompt, Moriarty law--
(explosion)
- Which seems to go
bad in about 12 years,
cause that is as good
as anyone can do,
but we sue the company anyway.
They are going to quit
making their particular
plastic palamer.
So no more heart valves,
what do we do?
The heart valves are mated,
the more people will die.
- No, don't give us
your civilian ethics.
Young man, this is a
Moriarty law firm course.
- Well, maybe we need to
back off on the lawsuits
for a while, I mean,
nobody can sue them
if they're out of business.
- Right! That is how
you define greed,
when you milk the cow so
hard it could kill it.
(electricity surging)
- As a professional
psychologist, I urge
you to recognize
that spouses are
frustrated and insecure.
Divorce is as traumatic
as death of a loved one
for most people.
Now, for the Doe's.
Give good advice
and create a team
of two lawyers working
together to help two people
suffering through
the paint of divorce.
Don't use the
children as weapons,
(electricity surging)
A developing child,
when pitted against a,
- Your client has just killed
his parents with a pitchfork,
are you going to use the
standard use defense?
The jury must not only
feel your clients pain,
they must also feel you
feeling your clients pain!
Gestures must be large,
not too effusive,
be in the moment!
(electricity surging)
(explosion)
- Moriarty!
I'm going to get you!
(wind blowing)
(alarm wailing)
- What the hell was that?
- Power surge?
- That was the Devil.
- Excuse me?
- Oh, present company
excluded, sir.
- No, something very
powerful nearly got to us
and killed us
- A laser?
- No, something else.
- A big laser?
- No, something very
powerful and intermittent,
probably working on
a subatomic level.
Something so far beyond your,
our science as we know it.
If it weren't for the
100 thousand volts
that encases this
vault, we'd all be dead.
- Don't let me get in your way.
Get me the police.
- Reports continue to come
in from all over Chicago.
We now take you live downtown
to the Moriarty firm,
where Tonya O'Neal
is standing by.
- George, all of the lawyers
here have disappeared.
The police are not
saying anything,
there are no official
statements. It's of note,
that absolutely no none
lawyers have disappeared.
Receptionist, secretaries and
even paralegals all unharmed.
These random disappearances
of lawyers seemed
to be connected, but how
is not exactly clear.
- Keep checking these tapes.
The answer is in
there somewhere.
- [TV Woman] But at this time
we are unable to get through.
(laughing)
(phone ringing)
- Hello?
- Who is this?
- It's for you.
- Well, I am at my grandmothers.
That was my aunt.
- Well give granny and
auntie a big kiss from me
and get your ass over here, now.
- Gotta go.
- [Both] No, no!
- No, no, no, I really gotta go.
(laughing)
- My, my, my.
- How could something
like this happen?
- I don't know how he
could've gotten in here,
I run this place
like a fortress.
- This is Tonya O'Neal--
- I got video
cameras everywhere!
- reporting live from
the Moriarty building.
(exhales)
- How many disappeared?
- 104, mostly Moriarty
lawyer trainees,
some junior partners,
five lawyer speakers
and one acting coach.
- What about the
woman still here?
- I've had people fall asleep
during lectures before,
but never disappear.
- I got the lowdown from
one of the secretaries,
you know the ones
who disappeared?
She refers to them as
dishonest bastards.
- What are you telling
me, some kind of scum-ball
detector comes through and
he evaporates everyone?
- We pulled in everyone we can.
- FBI?
- Two forensics teams coming
in today on a charter,
while the evidence is fresh
and a bigger investigation team
coming in in the morning.
- What evidence?
Look I need all
the help I can get.
- I've got him on the
phone now lieutenant.
- Who?
- Moriarty.
- Oh, Moriarty, okay.
Uh, Mr. Moriarty, I got
some bad news for you,
all the participants in your
seminar have disappeared.
- The good news is the
secretaries are still alive.
- Will you cut it out with
the secretaries already?
Oh, no, no, not you, sir, no.
- Oh my God, this
is hard to believe.
Yes, I understand,
of course, of course
and yes lieutenant,
just as soon as I can.
Thank you very much,
but no you have,
you have the really
hard job. Thank you,
yes, thank you,
thank you, goodbye.
(phone beeps)
Entire lawyer trainee
class disappeared.
- That's impossible.
- How?
- Not known, but I'll bet
you anything it has something
to do with that force
that we felt down here.
- Kate?
- Mary! Thank God
you're here
- Oh, listen,
thought I'd better drop
by you sounded desperate.
What's going on?
- Mary, I don't
know where to start.
- Doctor, Moriarty,
(electricity surging)
Kate! (laughs)
I did it, I did it!
(laughs)
Oh, baby I got 'em!
I got 'em all!
(electricity surging)
Oh God! Mary, what
are you doing here?
- What in the, I was afraid
of something like this!
What have those
lawyers done to him?
- Oh Mary, I don't think
it was just the lawyers.
- Any obvious correlations?
- Not here.
- Me neither,
everything looks
like a long shot.
- Go to high speed scan.
- Oh, um, I'm um, I didn't
take typing, sir so I'm,
Oh.
(funky music)
Dammit, John! You said
I was the only one.
- But, you are the only, oh.
Uh, I lied.
- Will you two knock it
off please we, oh, Lisa.
- Isn't that my dress?
- [Both] Not anymore.
- Excuse me, ladies, would
you happen to know where a
Doctor Robert Lee lives in
the neighborhood, do you?
- [Both] oh, you can
head towards that way.
Oh, no you're right, it's there.
- No! you know what,
- It's the third house,
- Thank you, thank
you very much.
Thank you, you're very,
very kind, yeah thanks.
- Stop it right there,
that's him, when was this taken?
- Just before our seminar
lawyers disappeared.
- Wasn't he the defendant
in the Longstreet case?
Uh, what's his name?
- Lee,
- Lee!
- Robert Lee, he
was the defendant in
the Longstreet case,
sir those were the
first two to disappear.
- That's our man,
what ever power he possesses
is incredibly advanced.
Seems that we're going to
have to get Doctor Lee,
before he gets us.
- Uh, Sir, shouldn't we
call the police and the FBI?
- Oh, please. I'm the
only person on this planet
who knows what that
device can really do.
You realize how they
view us don't you?
- Who, sir?
- The police, the FBI.
- They don't like us.
(laughs)
- No, they hate us.
We're going to have to
do this one on our own.
Scarface will get us guns.
- Guns? You mean you want us
to take them on ourselves?
- Why are we the wealthiest
law firm in history?
- Uh, oh we are the
best and the brightest.
(exhales) Freemont,
what was your
law school graduating rank?
- Uh, third from the
bottom, I'm afraid.
- We've got street smarts?
- Why are we number one?
- We bust out ass,
we come early,
we stay late, we over charge?
- Any fool can do
that. We are number one
because we scare the
hell out of people
and that's exactly what
our clients want us to do.
They know that we'll use
any trick, any scheme to win
and if they jerk us around
they know they'll get it back
10 times over. That's
why we're number one
and now some jerk,
some guy out there,
with this weird power is trying
to take all that away from us!
Well we are not going to
let that happen, are we?
- No, we are not, sir.
- Are we?
- [Both] No, no!
- Are we? Are we? Are we?
- [Both] No, no, no!
- [All} No, no, no, no, no!
- Let's get him!
- [Both] Yeah!
- Reports of the disappearance
of lawyers all over
the United States
continue to pour in.
Reports are coming from
New York, Washington,
Miami, Dallas,
Atlanta, Minneapolis
and hundreds of small towns.
A case that was all ready--
- Kate, Kate! Get in here quick!
- What, what?
- The highest ranking official
left in the administration
is the secretary of health,
she will be speaking soon as,
oh, one second. This just in,
this is from our
affiliate in Los Angeles.
They are reporting the
disappearance of all lawyers.
(laughing)
In all my five
years of reporting,
I have never experienced
anything like this.
- Bobby look, I don't know
what's going on here, but,
(whistles)
I'm a little scared.
(screaming back and forth)
(grunts)
- Thank you.
See? All better.
- What the? You again!
- Oh, look!
(stealthy music)
(muttering)
- Ah, yeah.
Ha, ha!
- So this anger
device is the cause?
- Well the anger
amplification device takes,
well all the negative emotions
that we all feel from,
anger, hostility,
anything negative
and amplifies it
and then channels
it through a single individual.
Makes him tremendously powerful.
- Thousands of lawyers
have disappeared, Bob,
some of our best
friends are lawyers.
- [Both] Were lawyers.
(stealthy music)
(grunts)
- Oh, there is a glimmer
of hope for your friend,
Bob, Bob is it?
- Yeah, what?
- Uh, it's just that we designed
the AAD to generate total
and complete forgetfulness
in our enemies.
- Yeah, but does that
work for our species?
- Boy, I don't know. I mean, I,
well there are some
brains similarities,
but I, I really am not sure.
Oh, did I mention that
your house is surrounded
by angry lawyers and
they're fully armed.
- Can you kill
'em? Paralyze 'em!
- Oh, no, no, no, no, I
can't do anything like that,
not at all.
- What? Well what can you do?
You're the one that
got us into this mess!
- Well, I can
apologize for having
created any
inconvenience for you
and then I can just say Adios!
(yells)
Sorry, just a
little alien humor.
(laughing)
(stealthy music)
- Oh!
- There was something things
I could have asked him.
All the questions
of the universe.
- Yeah, I didn't get a name
- I didn't get a picture.
- I didn't get that
hair, you know?
- Yeah, that was kinda weird.
- Yeah, yeah the hair.
Oh well, I finally feel better.
- How can you feel better?
We're surrounded by a gang
of angry lawyers with guns!
- Because now, I finally
know what's going on!
(gun fires)
- I think I heard something.
- Ah! The phone is dead.
- Oh, I see one
going to the back!
- No, get away from the window!
- Should we make run for it?
- I don't think
we'd make it, look,
kill the lights, lock the doors,
I'll try to find something
to use as a weapon.
- [Both] Okay!
- Oh and Kate, Mary, be careful.
They're armed and
they're dangerous.
- Well, hell,
they'll try anything!
They're lawyers, aren't they?
- Oh, Bob! Bob, it's gone!
- Come on!
- Just when I really needed it.
- Did anyone escape
from the house?
- They're still in there,
I saw somebody before
the lights went out.
- I may have hit someone.
- Excellent.
Let's go.
(upbeat funky music)
(cocks gun)
- Oh, thank you.
What?
I don't know what that
means, just tell me!
- You have to be,
- Just tell me, just tell me!
- Quiet!
Entirely too much noise,
now, I'm going out
and walk the perimeter.
You check around here,
listen carefully.
Make sure no one attempts
to escape by jumping
from the second floor.
- Affirmative.
- Alright.
(clanking)
(gun fires)
- Ow!
Stop shooting,
you idiot it's me!
- Freemont, is that you?
- Yes! You shot me in the leg!
- Oh, let me help.
- Yeah, you better help
me, look at this thing,
Ow! Stop that!
- What's going on here?
- I'm shot! This asshole
shot me in the leg!
- Is that it?
- Ow!
- It's barely bleeding.
- I'm shot!
- Get up on your feet!
- It hurts like hell!
- Get up on your feet,
we need you! Come on!
- I'm down, I tell you!
- You wimp!
- You're with me
now, aren't you?
- Well shouldn't
- Aren't you?
- I clean the blood up
- Aren't you?
- I don't want to
- Aren't you?
- leave a mess
- Aren't you?
Aren't you? Aren't you?
- Well, alright,
- Yes, yes, yes
- Yes, yes, yes
- [Both] Yes!
- Good, you go first.
(cocks gun)
I'll cover you.
(grunts)
(thumping)
- Good weapon!
- Get behind me!
- Wait, wait, wait!
- Wait a second, wait a second,
what is your average?
- 110?
- Exactly.
(rumbling)
- Yes!
- Hide!
- Well,
since you're using bowling
balls to defend yourselves.
I assume that you have no guns
and that the AAD is inactive.
You have 10 seconds to
hand it over, Doctor.
Otherwise, I'm
going to kill you.
- it's not here,
I don't have it.
- You're wasting our time,
Doctor, I want it now.
- It's gone, It's probably
light-years away from here.
- Where are the others, Doctor?
(scoffs) Perhaps
they're in the closet?
(cocks gun)
Oh, it was already loaded.
- Moriarty,
it's over.
- You fool,
you think that you
can destroy me?
You've only set my plans back,
you are a minor obstacle,
that I'm about to
remove permanently.
- Wait! Before you do, I
just have to say on thing,
I love you.
- Do you expect me
to fall for that?
Ow!
- Got the gun!
Alright, help me
tie him up, Kate!
Alright, now Mary,
- Yeah?
- Go use the car phone
and call for help.
- Okay.
- Hey!
- Ow!
- Who are you?
- I'm shot!
- So where's your gun?
- Right here.
- Let me take a look at that,
what are you supposed
to be anyway?
- Ah, that's nothing, honey!
- Ow!
- You know what a 12 gauge
would do to you? Don't move.
(phone beeping)
- Put it down.
Now we are going to walk
very slowly into the house
and see what's going on.
- Neighborhood
watch, you asshole.
- Doctor, doctor will I live?
- I'm not a doctor.
- What a cannon, reminds
me of Desert Storm.
- Yeah, the good old days.
- Oh, hey guys, I
need a stretcher here.
- What are you talking about,
moron? It's just a scratch,
your partner has a concussion.
- Excuse me, former partner.
Now I wanna make a deal
and I wanna go out of
here on a stretcher.
Any of the networks here yet?
- Who is that guy?
- I don't know, some
jumoke with a French hat.
- Uh, excuse me, flat
foot, it's call a beret.
- Are we rolling guys?
Excuse me, excuse me,
so you're saying you were shot
by one of the perpetrators?
- Uh, yes, I was shot by
one of my former partners
as I attempted to
stop this break in.
I also have extensive
documentation of
a major conspiracy
that will shock the nation.
- No, lieutenant, lieutenant,
please, just a moment,
lieutenant, of your time.
Just a moment, sir, please?
What I want to explain is,
that I am Americas
last best hope.
I was about to move this
great American system of ours
closer to perfection.
The American people are
children and they need me.
- [Radio] Unit 72,
what is your 20?
- Wait right here.
- Yes.
- You wont move?
- No.
- [Radio] Unit seven,
two, what is your 20?
- I believe in the
law, lieutenant.
- [Woman over radio]
Mike, where'd you go?
- Unit 72.
- [Radio] Mike, we
just had a couple
of weird calls from
Washington. FBI, CIA,
they say they've got
forensic teams scheduled
to fly in to investigate
but no one knows
what it's all about.
- Ah!
(electricity surges)
(funky music)
- [Radio] Thought you might
know something about this.
- That's strange,
I vaguely recall something
about it, training seminar,
better cancel till we get
more information, 10-4.
- Hey, where's the guy?
- What guy?
- The guy who was with you.
- What, who?
- Got a light?
- Who are the Cubs
playing this weekend?
- I hate the Cubs.
- Uh, you don't happen to have
your handcuff keys on you,
do you?
- Oh Mary, you should have seen,
I nailed him
- I saw that.
- I meant what I said.
- Oh, yeah, well
then, say it again.
- Come on, McGus, let
me give you a ride.
I think they want to be alone.
- What? Somebody's gotta be
holding a gun to your head?
- Hey! That's my
little daughter.
(laughs)
- I know, Gus.
