Boston Legal (2004–2008): Season 1, Episode 15 - Tortured Souls - full transcript
Shirley asks Alan to defend a policeman who tortured a man to retrieve information. Denny and Chelina represent a woman who is suing her former boyfriend for leaving her at the altar. Bernard is befriended by Catherine and Alan finds variance with that.
NARRATOR:
Previously on Boston Legal:
I hit her on the head with a skillet.
What do I do?
You're under arrest
for the murder of Della Ferrion.
They arrested you for whacking your
mother, you got off on a technicality.
Now the woman next door
turns up dead from a blow to the head.
What could possibly make them
think of you?
Now, go away.
I do not represent evil people.
The lawyer who got the TRO?
He says he's your son.
- Donny Crane.
- Denny Crane.
You gave me the Crane legacy.
And I fully plan on living up to it.
- He's not my son.
- Obviously he doesn't know.
You're not my father?
I'm not your son?
I'm not your son.
[PEOPLE SCREAMING ON TV]
MAN: Tell me where he is! Tell me!
I'm gonna break your arm!
Tell me or I'm gonna break your arm!
ABC's latest reality show?
That was taken by
the victim's family member.
I see. Why go to his aid
when you can get the footage?
Why am I here, Shirley?
We represent the police union
and, accordingly, the officer.
- I need you to second-chair at the trial.
- Can't do it.
- You don't mean to say that.
- You're right. The word is "won't."
You have experience
with criminal defense.
I like my clients to have humanity.
Don't we all.
- In the meantime...
- I'm not doing it, Shirley.
That officer disgusts me.
I won't contribute to his freedom.
I wasn't expecting you
to do it for him.
Is that what you think, silly?
See, I expect you to do it because
this firm pays you $375,000 a year.
That's a lot of money.
We expect you to work for it.
Even when it requires doing things
that don't agree with you.
I expect you to do it
because a senior partner is...
Oh, no. Check that.
The senior partner
is asking you to do it.
I expect you to do it because
you so often refer to lawyers...
...as "unprincipled, soulless whores."
Well, for the next few days,
I need you to be my whore.
And if that so offends you,
I guess you could always quit.
But I warn you, you will be missed...
...for at least all of five minutes.
- Where's Mr. Crane?
- At 9 in the morning...
...he could be many places. Why?
Well, will he be present
for the settlement conference?
He should be. But first...
And if it doesn't settle,
will he be trying it?
- Frannie, let's talk here.
- Okay.
We're going to settle.
It must settle.
Suing a man
for being left at the altar...
In front of 300 pe...
Courts don't get involved in breakups.
Not to discount your pain,
which I'm sure is real...
...we're looking at the possibility
of a directed verdict against us.
In light of that, my recommendation
is that you accept the offer.
- For $ 175,000?
- Yes.
Oh, no.
Denny Crane promised me more.
How much did
he promise you, Frannie?
Five million.
Maybe I should quit. This woman
has no idea who or what I am.
- Lighten up, man.
- First of all...
...the idea of giving representation
to that thug...
Alan, come on.
We hate all our clients.
It's good to hate. Allows us
to overcharge and sleep at night.
I thought her gamesmanship
would be nuanced.
Alan, I'm sorry for
becoming abrupt last night.
The simple fact is I need you.
It's a difficult case.
Also, for what it's worth,
I've been known to get contentious...
...with men I unconsciously
want to bed.
I can't imagine wanting sex with you,
but, then again, I did sleep with Denny.
We should go.
The trial starts at 10:00.
I will do this case. Sit by her side.
For no other reason than to solve her.
Alan. I'm sorry. The midget is back.
- I beg your pardon?
- The little man. He's here.
- Alan!
- Good gracious, who did you kill now?
- That question is extremely hurtful.
- Why are you here, Bernard?
Well, I just dropped by to say hello.
I was in the neighborhood.
How are you?
Bernie, I'm due in court.
I don't have time to talk to you now.
State your business, if you have any,
with Catherine, and I'll call you back.
Um...
Forgive me.
I'm uncomfortable around little people.
Let me ask you, Bernie...
...have you ever thought
about finding God?
Can we talk a second?
Lock and load.
Where's the client?
I sent her home.
She doesn't need to be here for this.
Insane.
Mr. Crane, did you tell the client
we could get her 5 million dollars?
- I might have. So?
- Case values out in the low six figures...
...assuming it doesn't get tossed
on public-policy grounds.
Listen, young lady.
First rule of thumb in practicing law:
Always, always promise the client
millions and millions of dollars.
- It's good business.
- When it comes time...
...to making good
on such a ridiculous claim?
Donny Crane.
Donny Crane. You remember me.
We used to be father and son.
Nice to see you.
Where's Michael Gendler?
I'm appearing as
the defendant's new counsel.
That 175 is off the table.
By the by, way too high.
We'll go to $50,000. Donny Crane.
- That's rejected.
- Whoa.
- No counter?
- Three-fifty.
Double whoa.
Well, guess that means a trial, huh?
Cool. More experience for me.
Donny Crane.
- Denny Crane.
- Donny Crane.
- You got on this case because I'm on it.
- I did.
- You want to get me.
- I do.
I love it.
- Denny Crane.
- Donny Crane.
- Denny Crane.
- Donny Crane.
- Denny Crane.
- Donny Crane.
We had received a tip
that the suspect, Damon Harris...
...was visiting his brother Paul.
So we went to the brother's house.
- And did you find the suspect?
- Excuse me.
I'm new to this case, as is the jury,
of course. To help us track the facts...
...I was wondering if you could refer
to him as the kidnapping suspect?
So we're clear that we're talking
about the man who...
...snatched a 6-year-old child.
The boy sitting right over here.
Was the kidnapping suspect
there, officer?
- No.
- The brother was there?
- Yes.
- Could you tell us what happened?
Well, we searched the premises,
couldn't find the kidnapping suspect.
We asked the brother
if he knew his whereabouts.
- He claimed he did not.
- And then what happened?
What happened is basically
what you saw on the tape.
My partner began to interrogate
the brother more coercively.
Was the victim of this attack
considered...
...a suspect himself in the kidnapping?
- No.
You never considered him
connected to the crime?
- No.
SHIRLEY: As Mr. Shore noted...
...you were trying to find
the boy seated here.
- Yes.
- He was kidnapped...
...how long before this incident?
- The day before.
As time goes by,
what are the chances...
...of finding a kidnapped child alive?
After 48 hours, we consider it
extremely remote.
In fact, the kidnapper
we're talking about...
...is suspected in the kidnapping
of another boy?
- Yes.
- Did you ever find that boy?
We found his remains.
While my client was committing
his coercive acts...
...against the brother, what did you do?
- I stood back.
- You never intervened?
- No.
Did you report it?
Not at first. Eventually.
By the way, as a result
of my client's coercive acts...
...did the brother say anything?
He gave us a list of places
his brother frequented.
- And did you search those places?
- Yes.
- And?
- We found the suspect.
And the child.
Thank you.
All I'm saying is,
if you killed two people...
...and if you're as alone as you say...
...there couldn't be a better time for you
to turn to Jesus Christ, your savior.
Under normal circumstances,
I'd agree.
- But?
- I'm Jewish.
Bernie, there has never ever been
a Jewish serial killer.
Son of Sam, David Berkowitz.
He was adopted.
Genetically, he's one of ours.
Well, what are you saying?
I am saying that if you're
out there murdering people...
...on some level,
you must want to be Christian.
Would you let me
take you to church?
Gotta admire your guts.
Take a piece of the old man.
- There's a fire in the belly.
- Yeah, you're an old man.
Just not mine, remember?
Yeah.
Thing is...
...I like you. Actually...
...I love you.
It's a difficult thing
for Denny Crane to say.
Unless it's part of foreplay.
And I love you, Donny.
And I'm concerned that...
...if you go up against me
in a court of law, you'll...
I might as well
just come out and say it.
I can't be beat.
- Really?
- Never lost, never will.
I beat you in the salmon case.
You beat Brad Chase. Me, undefeated.
I see.
Well, how do I put this?
I took this case mainly
to kick your fat, lying ass.
I mean that in a good way.
I will beat you.
- No, you won't.
- Yes, I will.
- You won't. Won't.
- I will. Will.
- Son...
- Don't call me that.
I'm gonna say this one more time,
with all the humility I can summon up:
I'm the greatest trial attorney
that ever lived.
You will not beat me.
I don't know how much
you just heard.
My ass may lie...
...but it's all muscle.
I knew he knew something.
Either where his brother was
or where the child was.
And you were prepared
to beat it out of him?
I was prepared to punch him.
I didn't actually mean to break his arm.
But Mr. Kirkland,
what we saw on that tape...
- There are different rules in kidnappings.
- What do you mean?
We're not supposed to
break bones or cause injury...
...but physical discomfiture
is permitted.
It's okay to, say, dislocate
a shoulder, tear a muscle.
You're talking about torture.
This was an innocent man.
He wasn't the suspected kidnapper.
And I'm sorry I hurt him.
But I felt he knew
where his brother was.
I considered this to be like
self-defense or defense of others.
I was gonna do whatever I could
to save that boy.
All I could think about
was my own son.
- The end justifies the means?
- I guess I have to say yes to that.
Suppose the suspected kidnapper
had confessed to a priest.
You'd feel no compunction
beating up clergy for information?
- I didn't say that.
- Is there a distinction?
An innocent man has information that
would lead to the recovery of a child.
I guess I felt the victim
wasn't so innocent.
So you're out there playing judge too.
Policeman, judge, executioner...
- Objection.
- Sustained.
Who told you it was okay
to tear muscles...
...and dislocate shoulders
in kidnapping situations?
There's no formal directive,
just understood.
Understood by the police
who arrested you after you did it?
I was arrested because of the media.
- That's the only reason I'm here.
- How sad is that?
You tortured an innocent man
with no criminal record...
...whose only offense was that his
fugitive brother stopped at his house.
And the only reason you're here
is because the media got ahold of it.
PRIEST:
Do you, Frannie, take Michael...
...to be your lawfully wedded husband
for here and ever after?
I do.
And do you, Michael, take Frannie...
...to be your lawfully wedded wife
for here and ever after?
Michael.
Do you, Michael, take Frannie to be
your lawfully wedded wife...
...for here and ever after?
Michael?
Uh...
I'm sorry. I can 't.
I just can 't.
[WEDDING GUESTS CHATTERING]
I waited my whole life for this day.
My friends, my family,
they were all gathered...
...to celebrate the happiest event
in my life.
And instead, they were witness
to such a humiliation.
I'm still reeling from it psychologically.
Did you require treatment?
Yes. For many, many months.
My therapist thinks the trauma is even
an inhibitor to my finding love again.
Had he given any indication at all
that he was wavering?
None. No. Everything was fine.
It was more than fine, actually.
It was perfect.
Until suddenly...
Well, what you saw.
In the church, with 300 people
gathered from all over...
...he just...
Well, you saw it.
DONNY:
What are you saying?
If he didn't feel committed,
he should have married you...
...because the catering was paid for?
If he didn't feel committed,
what were we doing up there?
I was standing in my gown,
my wedding dress.
But this is love, Frannie.
It takes funny, unexpected bounces.
We're talking about emotions of heart.
Objection. Sounds like a girlie man.
- Move to strike!
- That's better.
Mr. Crane.
[MOUTHING]
Frannie, do you think my client
planned for it to go down like this?
Do you have any idea
what a jolt it was?
To be left standing in the church on a
day you've been planning for a lifetime?
You see that guy over there?
Denny Crane?
He pretended to be my father
for 25 years.
- I know a good jolt when l...
- Objection!
You lost a fianc?. I lost a foundation.
- Objection!
- Mr. Crane.
Emotions are part of life. You don't
run into court to address them.
- That's what you're doing.
- You shut up!
Counsel!
I'm sorry.
I apologize to the court.
Sometimes pain can
cause you to lash out.
Would you agree with that, Frannie?
If the hurt was deep enough...
...you'd wanna lash out
at the person who caused it?
Is it possible you're doing
just a little of that here?
That recovery was so smooth
it almost looked planned.
But it wasn't. I got you.
- You don't got me.
- I do.
- No, you don't. Don't.
- Do.
Sir, you're opposing counsel.
Unless you wanna settle the case...
But isn't the point to settle a score?
You caused me to believe
you were my father for my entire life.
You think that score
can be evened up?
- Corina.
- Chelina.
I've decided to take
the defendant's cross.
Mr. Crane, I'm not sure
that's a good idea.
- Well, whose idea is it?
- Yours.
Then it must be good.
Mr. Crane, do you know
what this case is about?
It's about money.
They're always about money.
I strongly suggest
you let me handle this.
How about...?
How about...?
How about those Patriots?
Never, ever, ever did we
send the message...
...directly, indirectly, or otherwise
that it is acceptable procedure...
...to physically coerce
suspects or witnesses.
Officer Kirkland says
that with kidnapping cases...
...there's a different set of rules.
- He's mistaken.
Our department serves
and protects the public.
That includes honoring
their civil liberties.
He was acting outside the scope of his
authority as an officer, in your opinion?
He was acting outside
the scope of the law.
He committed a vicious criminal assault.
It was disgraceful.
I'm repulsed every time
I see that footage.
It's a funny thing that you
mention the footage, captain...
...because my client wasn't arrested
until that video was aired on the news.
We were investigating
prior to that broadcast.
Ah, you were investigating.
Tell me, when did you first hear
about my client's conduct?
- I can't really recall.
- Maybe I can help out.
The victim made a complaint
and filed a written report...
...the day it happened.
His family members verified it.
You had knowledge of my client's acts
from day one, didn't you, captain?
And yet, when they recovered the child,
you held a press conference...
...singing the praises of your officers,
including Mr. Kirkland.
Then, when the footage
went out over the airways...
...suddenly my client's conduct
became disgraceful.
We have not ever and will not ever
condone torture.
Alan Dershowitz said that if we had
a suspect in custody...
...who knew a bomb would go off
and kill people, torture would be used.
- Do you disagree with that?
- It's never happened. I can't answer.
Let's say we're trying to crack
a big terrorist case...
...say the Pan Am jet
that went down in Lockerbie.
- Was torture used there?
- You'd have to ask the FBI.
There were reports...
I should say rumors.
- About the Lockerbie case...
...that electrical devices were
attached to prisoners' genitalia.
- Are you...?
- Objection.
This court is not going to
admit rumors, Miss Schmidt.
Let me ask you something, captain.
If they were tortured...
...do you care?
ALAN:
I was surprised by your last question.
The last question is our defense, Alan,
which is the reason I need you to close.
Close? I still don't know
what I'm doing on this case.
- You're on this case to close.
- Shirley...
I'll buy you a drink and explain.
Meet me in my office at 8.
What's going on?
I haven't the slightest idea.
I'm on this case
for no apparent reason.
- Catherine.
- Oh, hello, dear.
I do not want you
befriending Bernard Ferrion.
Gee, you say that almost as if
it's any of your business.
The man has murdered two people.
It is unsafe to keep his company.
I've managed to survive for 82 years.
He is dangerous, and he...
- My word would be "desperate."
- Catherine, Bernard Ferrion is evil.
He will likely murder again.
And you, if ever there was a person
who deserved a whack on the head...
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
What?
I absolutely planned to marry her.
Well, what happened, Mike?
I just... I panicked.
At that particular moment.
Look, I had a phobic kind of thing
about losing control of my life.
Frannie, she picked out the caterer...
...the church, the minister,
the reception hall. And it hit me.
That wedding was
a microcosm of marriage...
...with every decision
to be made by her.
I just panicked.
Did you think of how embarrassed
she would be?
Me too.
I was the one looking like an idiot.
But we're at the "Speak now
or forever hold your peace" part.
What other choice did I have?
Thank you.
I must say, we've all just seen
the best of Donny Crane.
- Objection.
- Withdrawn. Withdrawn.
- Mitch. May I call you Mitch?
- My name's Michael.
As I understand your testimony,
you just weren't ready to get married.
- That's right.
- Huge decision, affects your whole life.
- Affects her life.
- Yes. Of course.
You... You seem like
a considerate sort of guy.
- Are you?
- I think so.
You must have sensed that when
you left her at the altar like that...
...it would be a big number on her.
You weren't insensitive to that.
No. But, again,
what else could I have done?
Well, yes. Would it be
unreasonable to say...
...that the groom incurs a duty to,
perhaps, sort out his feelings...
...before 30 minutes
into the ceremony?
- Well, l...
- That's not unreasonable.
For the groom to be sure
before he walks down the aisle?
Is that unreasonable?
I guess not.
Ever tell her you're sorry?
- Of course I did.
- Wanna tell her now?
Frannie, I'm sorry.
- And Mitch...
- My name's Michael.
- What's your lawyer's name?
- Donny Crane.
- What's my name?
- Denny Crane.
- Big difference isn't there?
- Move to strike.
- Mr. Crane.
- You got it.
Lock and load.
I love the law.
LORl:
And what exactly is your defense?
"Let him go even though he did it."
- Jury nullification.
- Best I can tell...
...though Shirley hasn't
really filled me in.
- Talking about me?
- Yes, Shirley.
If you so enjoy keeping me in the dark,
you really should give me a try.
- In the dark.
- Thank you.
Actually, it's your love of the dark
that got you on this case.
Are we still on for 8?
See? That evidently was
supposed to mean something.
Excuse me. Bernie.
What are you doing here?
I'm picking up Catherine.
We're... We're grabbing a bite.
Bernie, I like Catherine Piper.
I want her to go on living...
...the chances of which are lessened
if she keeps your company.
- Go screw yourself.
- What did you just say to me?
You heard me.
It's not like me to curse.
I've only said it once before
in my entire life.
- Undoubtedly to Mother.
- Go screw yourself, Alan!
- Now we're up to three times.
- I will not be berated by you, put down.
Catherine, you witnessing this?
Why don't you give him a chance,
for God's sake?
Leave God out of this.
I hired you to be a legal secretary...
...not to bring God
or anybody else into the office.
Certainly not serial killers.
Note the look on his face.
That's commonly known
as your "psychotic glare."
Don't anybody ask this man
to whip up an omelet.
You were my friend.
And I thought you were mine.
And you know what you did to me
after I got you out?
You killed again.
You got blood on my hands
that will never come out.
Friends don't do that, Bernie.
Friends don't do that.
Oh, you...
Ugh.
Your continued staring
suggests a point of view, Tara.
If you've got one, please share it.
This is every woman's, perhaps
every man's, greatest nightmare.
Being left at the altar
in front of all our family...
...our closest friends, our boss.
There is no greater humiliation.
And it could happen to anybody.
It could happen to you.
Your granddaughter.
Your son.
Me.
We gotta send a message right now
to every bride and every groom.
You wanna have
a change of heart, fine.
But have the decency to have it
before you walk down the aisle.
And there's only one way
to really send that message, isn't there?
Money.
What would you have him do?
The ceremony somehow
takes precedence...
...over the institution itself?
The goal is to avoid
embarrassment now?
This is marriage.
For God's sake,
"Till death do us part.
Let no man tear asunder."
Now, my client did
the honorable thing.
He refused to take vows
he didn't feel he could live up to.
And does anybody here
really feel he should have?
This is marriage.
[WHISPERING]
ALAN: It's insane for me
to give the closing...
...after you've handled
all the witnesses.
The jury has no relationship with me.
I can only guess
that you must want one.
Is that what this is all about...
...your unconscious desire to bed me?
[MAN ON TV SCREAMING]
You have undoubtedly
seen this footage.
Along with the rest of the world.
It happened in Los Angeles.
What's it got to do with us?
Two of the officers were disciplined
and they then sued.
They were just awarded $2.4 million
last month.
Is there a moral?
This brings us to the dark.
The jury in that case...
...somehow found it in their conscience
to pay those officers millions of dollars.
Obviously, there was
some human nature in play.
We need to stand up
in front of our jury...
...and tell them what our client did
was a good thing.
It's not in me to sell that.
And you think it's in me.
I certainly don't know
all of you, Alan...
...perhaps not even much.
But you seem to have a capacity
to see darkness in people's hearts.
I need you to exploit
the ugliness in human nature...
...in a way that I cannot.
I think you're underestimating
your own capacity...
...to see darkness in hearts.
He doesn't get to be above the law
because he's a policeman.
He doesn't get to be exempt
from the law...
...because there was
a fortuitous result.
He beat up an innocent man...
...fractured a cheek bone...
...broke an arm,
put him in the hospital.
This was an aggravated assault.
It was torture.
Paul Harris didn't have
specific information...
...as to the whereabouts
of the suspect.
All he had was a general idea
of the places he liked to frequent.
For that...
...you saw what happened to him.
The truth is, as Americans...
...we love torture.
We keep it to ourselves, of course,
but come on...
...when it comes to evildoers,
torture's okay.
Hollywood certainly knows that.
Dirty Harry. Boom.
Charles Bronson in Death Wish.
Denzel Washington in Man on Fire.
Heroes torturing the bad guys.
In theaters all across the country,
we cheered. We like torture.
Is there potential for abuse?
Without question.
The events at Abu Ghraib prison
were deplorable.
But do we really believe
they just happened in a vacuum?
Alberto Gonzales,
our attorney general...
...wrote a memo to the administration
saying torture's okay.
Our Supreme Court just recently held
that evidence gained from torture...
...can be used in trials.
Alan Dershowitz, one of the leading
civil-rights activists in our country...
...raised the idea
of using torture warrants...
...so as at least to be
more open about it.
Torture warrants.
Love that torture. Shh.
Mr. Preston talks about the victim here
being an innocent man.
Now, come on,
he wasn't that innocent.
He did harbor a fugitive,
one who kidnaps and kills children.
He did have information that ultimately
led to the rescue of the child here.
And he refused to give it up
until he was...
...coerced.
As for my client
being above the law...
...well, the law in this country...
...has always been subject to evolving
community standards of humanity.
So the 12 of you get to go back there
as a community and ask yourselves:
"Was this a good thing or not?"
He's happy. He's alive.
They're sure as hell happy.
My client saved a life,
that little boy's life.
If it were your child...
...wouldn't you want the police
to do whatever was necessary?
This officer got the job done...
...using a method that our government,
our military, our attorney general...
...and, yes, even our Supreme Court,
has said is sometimes okay.
Sometimes, depending on the situation,
torture's okay.
Just don't tell anybody.
JUDGE: Madam Foreperson,
the jury has reached a verdict?
FOREPERSON: We have, Your Honor.
- What say you?
On the question of liability,
we find in favor of the plaintiff.
On the question of damages...
...we order the defendant to pay
the plaintiff the amount of $ 1.6 million.
JUDGE:
Thank you. The jury is dismissed.
MICHAEL:
One-point-six?
Oh, my God.
I'm sorry.
You said we'd win.
[WHEEZING]
Your first mistake was letting me
push your buttons in there.
Your second was not preparing
your client for cross.
He admitted fault.
He admitted the harm was foreseeable.
You let me frame the issue...
...as the groom's duty
to be sure before the ceremony.
Once we got that, we won.
Never ever let the other side
frame the issue, son.
I'm not your son.
Could you please go.
Your third mistake...
...definition of a father.
Sliding scale.
Some are great, some are terrible...
...and most are in-between.
I may not have been around much...
...but I was there
when you needed me.
Still am.
And I've always loved you.
Still do.
Will the defendant rise?
The jury has reached
a unanimous verdict?
- We have, Your Honor.
- State your verdict.
In the matter of The Commonwealth
v. Wayne Kirkland...
...re: The charge
of aggravated assault...
...we find the defendant,
Wayne Kirkland, not guilty.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
- Congratulations.
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you for everything.
- You're welcome, sir.
JUDGE:
This court is adjourned.
Thank you, Alan.
And I apologize if I offended you.
You paid great tribute
to my lawyering skills.
What higher compliment
could there be?
Alan. Listen, l...
Your capacity to see darkness.
We all have it, I suppose, including me.
My point is, it was simply a dirty job
and I chose to let you do it.
No, the point is
I was willing to do it...
...and you somehow saw that.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Oh.
Your secretary said
you wanted to see me.
She told you that?
Is there some reason
why she shouldn't have?
I said I wanted to see you naked.
I don't suppose
there's much chance of that.
- I'll let you see me naked.
- Now there's definitely no chance.
Mm. Well, now that you're here...
...you tried a good case.
You're an excellent lawyer.
Thank you. Tell a friend.
Drinking without me?
I'm never without you.
- Nice coat. New?
- Thirty-five hundred dollars.
- Don't you love having money?
- It means we're successful.
- Happy.
- Fat.
It's all good.
How'd your trial go?
We won. You?
Victory. Success.
Goes well with having money.
We're winners, that's what we are.
Yep. Salud. Here's to the winners.
NARRATOR:
Next on Boston Legal:
I happen to believe in reincarnation.
And I also believe things even out.
And I don't want that in my next life.
No judge is going
to let you be euthanized...
...and stashed in a subzero.
How do you ban one network
news program and not the others?
Schools have the right
to legislate content.
Objection to the spin, judge.
This is a no-spin zone.

Previously on Boston Legal:
I hit her on the head with a skillet.
What do I do?
You're under arrest
for the murder of Della Ferrion.
They arrested you for whacking your
mother, you got off on a technicality.
Now the woman next door
turns up dead from a blow to the head.
What could possibly make them
think of you?
Now, go away.
I do not represent evil people.
The lawyer who got the TRO?
He says he's your son.
- Donny Crane.
- Denny Crane.
You gave me the Crane legacy.
And I fully plan on living up to it.
- He's not my son.
- Obviously he doesn't know.
You're not my father?
I'm not your son?
I'm not your son.
[PEOPLE SCREAMING ON TV]
MAN: Tell me where he is! Tell me!
I'm gonna break your arm!
Tell me or I'm gonna break your arm!
ABC's latest reality show?
That was taken by
the victim's family member.
I see. Why go to his aid
when you can get the footage?
Why am I here, Shirley?
We represent the police union
and, accordingly, the officer.
- I need you to second-chair at the trial.
- Can't do it.
- You don't mean to say that.
- You're right. The word is "won't."
You have experience
with criminal defense.
I like my clients to have humanity.
Don't we all.
- In the meantime...
- I'm not doing it, Shirley.
That officer disgusts me.
I won't contribute to his freedom.
I wasn't expecting you
to do it for him.
Is that what you think, silly?
See, I expect you to do it because
this firm pays you $375,000 a year.
That's a lot of money.
We expect you to work for it.
Even when it requires doing things
that don't agree with you.
I expect you to do it
because a senior partner is...
Oh, no. Check that.
The senior partner
is asking you to do it.
I expect you to do it because
you so often refer to lawyers...
...as "unprincipled, soulless whores."
Well, for the next few days,
I need you to be my whore.
And if that so offends you,
I guess you could always quit.
But I warn you, you will be missed...
...for at least all of five minutes.
- Where's Mr. Crane?
- At 9 in the morning...
...he could be many places. Why?
Well, will he be present
for the settlement conference?
He should be. But first...
And if it doesn't settle,
will he be trying it?
- Frannie, let's talk here.
- Okay.
We're going to settle.
It must settle.
Suing a man
for being left at the altar...
In front of 300 pe...
Courts don't get involved in breakups.
Not to discount your pain,
which I'm sure is real...
...we're looking at the possibility
of a directed verdict against us.
In light of that, my recommendation
is that you accept the offer.
- For $ 175,000?
- Yes.
Oh, no.
Denny Crane promised me more.
How much did
he promise you, Frannie?
Five million.
Maybe I should quit. This woman
has no idea who or what I am.
- Lighten up, man.
- First of all...
...the idea of giving representation
to that thug...
Alan, come on.
We hate all our clients.
It's good to hate. Allows us
to overcharge and sleep at night.
I thought her gamesmanship
would be nuanced.
Alan, I'm sorry for
becoming abrupt last night.
The simple fact is I need you.
It's a difficult case.
Also, for what it's worth,
I've been known to get contentious...
...with men I unconsciously
want to bed.
I can't imagine wanting sex with you,
but, then again, I did sleep with Denny.
We should go.
The trial starts at 10:00.
I will do this case. Sit by her side.
For no other reason than to solve her.
Alan. I'm sorry. The midget is back.
- I beg your pardon?
- The little man. He's here.
- Alan!
- Good gracious, who did you kill now?
- That question is extremely hurtful.
- Why are you here, Bernard?
Well, I just dropped by to say hello.
I was in the neighborhood.
How are you?
Bernie, I'm due in court.
I don't have time to talk to you now.
State your business, if you have any,
with Catherine, and I'll call you back.
Um...
Forgive me.
I'm uncomfortable around little people.
Let me ask you, Bernie...
...have you ever thought
about finding God?
Can we talk a second?
Lock and load.
Where's the client?
I sent her home.
She doesn't need to be here for this.
Insane.
Mr. Crane, did you tell the client
we could get her 5 million dollars?
- I might have. So?
- Case values out in the low six figures...
...assuming it doesn't get tossed
on public-policy grounds.
Listen, young lady.
First rule of thumb in practicing law:
Always, always promise the client
millions and millions of dollars.
- It's good business.
- When it comes time...
...to making good
on such a ridiculous claim?
Donny Crane.
Donny Crane. You remember me.
We used to be father and son.
Nice to see you.
Where's Michael Gendler?
I'm appearing as
the defendant's new counsel.
That 175 is off the table.
By the by, way too high.
We'll go to $50,000. Donny Crane.
- That's rejected.
- Whoa.
- No counter?
- Three-fifty.
Double whoa.
Well, guess that means a trial, huh?
Cool. More experience for me.
Donny Crane.
- Denny Crane.
- Donny Crane.
- You got on this case because I'm on it.
- I did.
- You want to get me.
- I do.
I love it.
- Denny Crane.
- Donny Crane.
- Denny Crane.
- Donny Crane.
- Denny Crane.
- Donny Crane.
We had received a tip
that the suspect, Damon Harris...
...was visiting his brother Paul.
So we went to the brother's house.
- And did you find the suspect?
- Excuse me.
I'm new to this case, as is the jury,
of course. To help us track the facts...
...I was wondering if you could refer
to him as the kidnapping suspect?
So we're clear that we're talking
about the man who...
...snatched a 6-year-old child.
The boy sitting right over here.
Was the kidnapping suspect
there, officer?
- No.
- The brother was there?
- Yes.
- Could you tell us what happened?
Well, we searched the premises,
couldn't find the kidnapping suspect.
We asked the brother
if he knew his whereabouts.
- He claimed he did not.
- And then what happened?
What happened is basically
what you saw on the tape.
My partner began to interrogate
the brother more coercively.
Was the victim of this attack
considered...
...a suspect himself in the kidnapping?
- No.
You never considered him
connected to the crime?
- No.
SHIRLEY: As Mr. Shore noted...
...you were trying to find
the boy seated here.
- Yes.
- He was kidnapped...
...how long before this incident?
- The day before.
As time goes by,
what are the chances...
...of finding a kidnapped child alive?
After 48 hours, we consider it
extremely remote.
In fact, the kidnapper
we're talking about...
...is suspected in the kidnapping
of another boy?
- Yes.
- Did you ever find that boy?
We found his remains.
While my client was committing
his coercive acts...
...against the brother, what did you do?
- I stood back.
- You never intervened?
- No.
Did you report it?
Not at first. Eventually.
By the way, as a result
of my client's coercive acts...
...did the brother say anything?
He gave us a list of places
his brother frequented.
- And did you search those places?
- Yes.
- And?
- We found the suspect.
And the child.
Thank you.
All I'm saying is,
if you killed two people...
...and if you're as alone as you say...
...there couldn't be a better time for you
to turn to Jesus Christ, your savior.
Under normal circumstances,
I'd agree.
- But?
- I'm Jewish.
Bernie, there has never ever been
a Jewish serial killer.
Son of Sam, David Berkowitz.
He was adopted.
Genetically, he's one of ours.
Well, what are you saying?
I am saying that if you're
out there murdering people...
...on some level,
you must want to be Christian.
Would you let me
take you to church?
Gotta admire your guts.
Take a piece of the old man.
- There's a fire in the belly.
- Yeah, you're an old man.
Just not mine, remember?
Yeah.
Thing is...
...I like you. Actually...
...I love you.
It's a difficult thing
for Denny Crane to say.
Unless it's part of foreplay.
And I love you, Donny.
And I'm concerned that...
...if you go up against me
in a court of law, you'll...
I might as well
just come out and say it.
I can't be beat.
- Really?
- Never lost, never will.
I beat you in the salmon case.
You beat Brad Chase. Me, undefeated.
I see.
Well, how do I put this?
I took this case mainly
to kick your fat, lying ass.
I mean that in a good way.
I will beat you.
- No, you won't.
- Yes, I will.
- You won't. Won't.
- I will. Will.
- Son...
- Don't call me that.
I'm gonna say this one more time,
with all the humility I can summon up:
I'm the greatest trial attorney
that ever lived.
You will not beat me.
I don't know how much
you just heard.
My ass may lie...
...but it's all muscle.
I knew he knew something.
Either where his brother was
or where the child was.
And you were prepared
to beat it out of him?
I was prepared to punch him.
I didn't actually mean to break his arm.
But Mr. Kirkland,
what we saw on that tape...
- There are different rules in kidnappings.
- What do you mean?
We're not supposed to
break bones or cause injury...
...but physical discomfiture
is permitted.
It's okay to, say, dislocate
a shoulder, tear a muscle.
You're talking about torture.
This was an innocent man.
He wasn't the suspected kidnapper.
And I'm sorry I hurt him.
But I felt he knew
where his brother was.
I considered this to be like
self-defense or defense of others.
I was gonna do whatever I could
to save that boy.
All I could think about
was my own son.
- The end justifies the means?
- I guess I have to say yes to that.
Suppose the suspected kidnapper
had confessed to a priest.
You'd feel no compunction
beating up clergy for information?
- I didn't say that.
- Is there a distinction?
An innocent man has information that
would lead to the recovery of a child.
I guess I felt the victim
wasn't so innocent.
So you're out there playing judge too.
Policeman, judge, executioner...
- Objection.
- Sustained.
Who told you it was okay
to tear muscles...
...and dislocate shoulders
in kidnapping situations?
There's no formal directive,
just understood.
Understood by the police
who arrested you after you did it?
I was arrested because of the media.
- That's the only reason I'm here.
- How sad is that?
You tortured an innocent man
with no criminal record...
...whose only offense was that his
fugitive brother stopped at his house.
And the only reason you're here
is because the media got ahold of it.
PRIEST:
Do you, Frannie, take Michael...
...to be your lawfully wedded husband
for here and ever after?
I do.
And do you, Michael, take Frannie...
...to be your lawfully wedded wife
for here and ever after?
Michael.
Do you, Michael, take Frannie to be
your lawfully wedded wife...
...for here and ever after?
Michael?
Uh...
I'm sorry. I can 't.
I just can 't.
[WEDDING GUESTS CHATTERING]
I waited my whole life for this day.
My friends, my family,
they were all gathered...
...to celebrate the happiest event
in my life.
And instead, they were witness
to such a humiliation.
I'm still reeling from it psychologically.
Did you require treatment?
Yes. For many, many months.
My therapist thinks the trauma is even
an inhibitor to my finding love again.
Had he given any indication at all
that he was wavering?
None. No. Everything was fine.
It was more than fine, actually.
It was perfect.
Until suddenly...
Well, what you saw.
In the church, with 300 people
gathered from all over...
...he just...
Well, you saw it.
DONNY:
What are you saying?
If he didn't feel committed,
he should have married you...
...because the catering was paid for?
If he didn't feel committed,
what were we doing up there?
I was standing in my gown,
my wedding dress.
But this is love, Frannie.
It takes funny, unexpected bounces.
We're talking about emotions of heart.
Objection. Sounds like a girlie man.
- Move to strike!
- That's better.
Mr. Crane.
[MOUTHING]
Frannie, do you think my client
planned for it to go down like this?
Do you have any idea
what a jolt it was?
To be left standing in the church on a
day you've been planning for a lifetime?
You see that guy over there?
Denny Crane?
He pretended to be my father
for 25 years.
- I know a good jolt when l...
- Objection!
You lost a fianc?. I lost a foundation.
- Objection!
- Mr. Crane.
Emotions are part of life. You don't
run into court to address them.
- That's what you're doing.
- You shut up!
Counsel!
I'm sorry.
I apologize to the court.
Sometimes pain can
cause you to lash out.
Would you agree with that, Frannie?
If the hurt was deep enough...
...you'd wanna lash out
at the person who caused it?
Is it possible you're doing
just a little of that here?
That recovery was so smooth
it almost looked planned.
But it wasn't. I got you.
- You don't got me.
- I do.
- No, you don't. Don't.
- Do.
Sir, you're opposing counsel.
Unless you wanna settle the case...
But isn't the point to settle a score?
You caused me to believe
you were my father for my entire life.
You think that score
can be evened up?
- Corina.
- Chelina.
I've decided to take
the defendant's cross.
Mr. Crane, I'm not sure
that's a good idea.
- Well, whose idea is it?
- Yours.
Then it must be good.
Mr. Crane, do you know
what this case is about?
It's about money.
They're always about money.
I strongly suggest
you let me handle this.
How about...?
How about...?
How about those Patriots?
Never, ever, ever did we
send the message...
...directly, indirectly, or otherwise
that it is acceptable procedure...
...to physically coerce
suspects or witnesses.
Officer Kirkland says
that with kidnapping cases...
...there's a different set of rules.
- He's mistaken.
Our department serves
and protects the public.
That includes honoring
their civil liberties.
He was acting outside the scope of his
authority as an officer, in your opinion?
He was acting outside
the scope of the law.
He committed a vicious criminal assault.
It was disgraceful.
I'm repulsed every time
I see that footage.
It's a funny thing that you
mention the footage, captain...
...because my client wasn't arrested
until that video was aired on the news.
We were investigating
prior to that broadcast.
Ah, you were investigating.
Tell me, when did you first hear
about my client's conduct?
- I can't really recall.
- Maybe I can help out.
The victim made a complaint
and filed a written report...
...the day it happened.
His family members verified it.
You had knowledge of my client's acts
from day one, didn't you, captain?
And yet, when they recovered the child,
you held a press conference...
...singing the praises of your officers,
including Mr. Kirkland.
Then, when the footage
went out over the airways...
...suddenly my client's conduct
became disgraceful.
We have not ever and will not ever
condone torture.
Alan Dershowitz said that if we had
a suspect in custody...
...who knew a bomb would go off
and kill people, torture would be used.
- Do you disagree with that?
- It's never happened. I can't answer.
Let's say we're trying to crack
a big terrorist case...
...say the Pan Am jet
that went down in Lockerbie.
- Was torture used there?
- You'd have to ask the FBI.
There were reports...
I should say rumors.
- About the Lockerbie case...
...that electrical devices were
attached to prisoners' genitalia.
- Are you...?
- Objection.
This court is not going to
admit rumors, Miss Schmidt.
Let me ask you something, captain.
If they were tortured...
...do you care?
ALAN:
I was surprised by your last question.
The last question is our defense, Alan,
which is the reason I need you to close.
Close? I still don't know
what I'm doing on this case.
- You're on this case to close.
- Shirley...
I'll buy you a drink and explain.
Meet me in my office at 8.
What's going on?
I haven't the slightest idea.
I'm on this case
for no apparent reason.
- Catherine.
- Oh, hello, dear.
I do not want you
befriending Bernard Ferrion.
Gee, you say that almost as if
it's any of your business.
The man has murdered two people.
It is unsafe to keep his company.
I've managed to survive for 82 years.
He is dangerous, and he...
- My word would be "desperate."
- Catherine, Bernard Ferrion is evil.
He will likely murder again.
And you, if ever there was a person
who deserved a whack on the head...
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
What?
I absolutely planned to marry her.
Well, what happened, Mike?
I just... I panicked.
At that particular moment.
Look, I had a phobic kind of thing
about losing control of my life.
Frannie, she picked out the caterer...
...the church, the minister,
the reception hall. And it hit me.
That wedding was
a microcosm of marriage...
...with every decision
to be made by her.
I just panicked.
Did you think of how embarrassed
she would be?
Me too.
I was the one looking like an idiot.
But we're at the "Speak now
or forever hold your peace" part.
What other choice did I have?
Thank you.
I must say, we've all just seen
the best of Donny Crane.
- Objection.
- Withdrawn. Withdrawn.
- Mitch. May I call you Mitch?
- My name's Michael.
As I understand your testimony,
you just weren't ready to get married.
- That's right.
- Huge decision, affects your whole life.
- Affects her life.
- Yes. Of course.
You... You seem like
a considerate sort of guy.
- Are you?
- I think so.
You must have sensed that when
you left her at the altar like that...
...it would be a big number on her.
You weren't insensitive to that.
No. But, again,
what else could I have done?
Well, yes. Would it be
unreasonable to say...
...that the groom incurs a duty to,
perhaps, sort out his feelings...
...before 30 minutes
into the ceremony?
- Well, l...
- That's not unreasonable.
For the groom to be sure
before he walks down the aisle?
Is that unreasonable?
I guess not.
Ever tell her you're sorry?
- Of course I did.
- Wanna tell her now?
Frannie, I'm sorry.
- And Mitch...
- My name's Michael.
- What's your lawyer's name?
- Donny Crane.
- What's my name?
- Denny Crane.
- Big difference isn't there?
- Move to strike.
- Mr. Crane.
- You got it.
Lock and load.
I love the law.
LORl:
And what exactly is your defense?
"Let him go even though he did it."
- Jury nullification.
- Best I can tell...
...though Shirley hasn't
really filled me in.
- Talking about me?
- Yes, Shirley.
If you so enjoy keeping me in the dark,
you really should give me a try.
- In the dark.
- Thank you.
Actually, it's your love of the dark
that got you on this case.
Are we still on for 8?
See? That evidently was
supposed to mean something.
Excuse me. Bernie.
What are you doing here?
I'm picking up Catherine.
We're... We're grabbing a bite.
Bernie, I like Catherine Piper.
I want her to go on living...
...the chances of which are lessened
if she keeps your company.
- Go screw yourself.
- What did you just say to me?
You heard me.
It's not like me to curse.
I've only said it once before
in my entire life.
- Undoubtedly to Mother.
- Go screw yourself, Alan!
- Now we're up to three times.
- I will not be berated by you, put down.
Catherine, you witnessing this?
Why don't you give him a chance,
for God's sake?
Leave God out of this.
I hired you to be a legal secretary...
...not to bring God
or anybody else into the office.
Certainly not serial killers.
Note the look on his face.
That's commonly known
as your "psychotic glare."
Don't anybody ask this man
to whip up an omelet.
You were my friend.
And I thought you were mine.
And you know what you did to me
after I got you out?
You killed again.
You got blood on my hands
that will never come out.
Friends don't do that, Bernie.
Friends don't do that.
Oh, you...
Ugh.
Your continued staring
suggests a point of view, Tara.
If you've got one, please share it.
This is every woman's, perhaps
every man's, greatest nightmare.
Being left at the altar
in front of all our family...
...our closest friends, our boss.
There is no greater humiliation.
And it could happen to anybody.
It could happen to you.
Your granddaughter.
Your son.
Me.
We gotta send a message right now
to every bride and every groom.
You wanna have
a change of heart, fine.
But have the decency to have it
before you walk down the aisle.
And there's only one way
to really send that message, isn't there?
Money.
What would you have him do?
The ceremony somehow
takes precedence...
...over the institution itself?
The goal is to avoid
embarrassment now?
This is marriage.
For God's sake,
"Till death do us part.
Let no man tear asunder."
Now, my client did
the honorable thing.
He refused to take vows
he didn't feel he could live up to.
And does anybody here
really feel he should have?
This is marriage.
[WHISPERING]
ALAN: It's insane for me
to give the closing...
...after you've handled
all the witnesses.
The jury has no relationship with me.
I can only guess
that you must want one.
Is that what this is all about...
...your unconscious desire to bed me?
[MAN ON TV SCREAMING]
You have undoubtedly
seen this footage.
Along with the rest of the world.
It happened in Los Angeles.
What's it got to do with us?
Two of the officers were disciplined
and they then sued.
They were just awarded $2.4 million
last month.
Is there a moral?
This brings us to the dark.
The jury in that case...
...somehow found it in their conscience
to pay those officers millions of dollars.
Obviously, there was
some human nature in play.
We need to stand up
in front of our jury...
...and tell them what our client did
was a good thing.
It's not in me to sell that.
And you think it's in me.
I certainly don't know
all of you, Alan...
...perhaps not even much.
But you seem to have a capacity
to see darkness in people's hearts.
I need you to exploit
the ugliness in human nature...
...in a way that I cannot.
I think you're underestimating
your own capacity...
...to see darkness in hearts.
He doesn't get to be above the law
because he's a policeman.
He doesn't get to be exempt
from the law...
...because there was
a fortuitous result.
He beat up an innocent man...
...fractured a cheek bone...
...broke an arm,
put him in the hospital.
This was an aggravated assault.
It was torture.
Paul Harris didn't have
specific information...
...as to the whereabouts
of the suspect.
All he had was a general idea
of the places he liked to frequent.
For that...
...you saw what happened to him.
The truth is, as Americans...
...we love torture.
We keep it to ourselves, of course,
but come on...
...when it comes to evildoers,
torture's okay.
Hollywood certainly knows that.
Dirty Harry. Boom.
Charles Bronson in Death Wish.
Denzel Washington in Man on Fire.
Heroes torturing the bad guys.
In theaters all across the country,
we cheered. We like torture.
Is there potential for abuse?
Without question.
The events at Abu Ghraib prison
were deplorable.
But do we really believe
they just happened in a vacuum?
Alberto Gonzales,
our attorney general...
...wrote a memo to the administration
saying torture's okay.
Our Supreme Court just recently held
that evidence gained from torture...
...can be used in trials.
Alan Dershowitz, one of the leading
civil-rights activists in our country...
...raised the idea
of using torture warrants...
...so as at least to be
more open about it.
Torture warrants.
Love that torture. Shh.
Mr. Preston talks about the victim here
being an innocent man.
Now, come on,
he wasn't that innocent.
He did harbor a fugitive,
one who kidnaps and kills children.
He did have information that ultimately
led to the rescue of the child here.
And he refused to give it up
until he was...
...coerced.
As for my client
being above the law...
...well, the law in this country...
...has always been subject to evolving
community standards of humanity.
So the 12 of you get to go back there
as a community and ask yourselves:
"Was this a good thing or not?"
He's happy. He's alive.
They're sure as hell happy.
My client saved a life,
that little boy's life.
If it were your child...
...wouldn't you want the police
to do whatever was necessary?
This officer got the job done...
...using a method that our government,
our military, our attorney general...
...and, yes, even our Supreme Court,
has said is sometimes okay.
Sometimes, depending on the situation,
torture's okay.
Just don't tell anybody.
JUDGE: Madam Foreperson,
the jury has reached a verdict?
FOREPERSON: We have, Your Honor.
- What say you?
On the question of liability,
we find in favor of the plaintiff.
On the question of damages...
...we order the defendant to pay
the plaintiff the amount of $ 1.6 million.
JUDGE:
Thank you. The jury is dismissed.
MICHAEL:
One-point-six?
Oh, my God.
I'm sorry.
You said we'd win.
[WHEEZING]
Your first mistake was letting me
push your buttons in there.
Your second was not preparing
your client for cross.
He admitted fault.
He admitted the harm was foreseeable.
You let me frame the issue...
...as the groom's duty
to be sure before the ceremony.
Once we got that, we won.
Never ever let the other side
frame the issue, son.
I'm not your son.
Could you please go.
Your third mistake...
...definition of a father.
Sliding scale.
Some are great, some are terrible...
...and most are in-between.
I may not have been around much...
...but I was there
when you needed me.
Still am.
And I've always loved you.
Still do.
Will the defendant rise?
The jury has reached
a unanimous verdict?
- We have, Your Honor.
- State your verdict.
In the matter of The Commonwealth
v. Wayne Kirkland...
...re: The charge
of aggravated assault...
...we find the defendant,
Wayne Kirkland, not guilty.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
- Congratulations.
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you for everything.
- You're welcome, sir.
JUDGE:
This court is adjourned.
Thank you, Alan.
And I apologize if I offended you.
You paid great tribute
to my lawyering skills.
What higher compliment
could there be?
Alan. Listen, l...
Your capacity to see darkness.
We all have it, I suppose, including me.
My point is, it was simply a dirty job
and I chose to let you do it.
No, the point is
I was willing to do it...
...and you somehow saw that.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Oh.
Your secretary said
you wanted to see me.
She told you that?
Is there some reason
why she shouldn't have?
I said I wanted to see you naked.
I don't suppose
there's much chance of that.
- I'll let you see me naked.
- Now there's definitely no chance.
Mm. Well, now that you're here...
...you tried a good case.
You're an excellent lawyer.
Thank you. Tell a friend.
Drinking without me?
I'm never without you.
- Nice coat. New?
- Thirty-five hundred dollars.
- Don't you love having money?
- It means we're successful.
- Happy.
- Fat.
It's all good.
How'd your trial go?
We won. You?
Victory. Success.
Goes well with having money.
We're winners, that's what we are.
Yep. Salud. Here's to the winners.
NARRATOR:
Next on Boston Legal:
I happen to believe in reincarnation.
And I also believe things even out.
And I don't want that in my next life.
No judge is going
to let you be euthanized...
...and stashed in a subzero.
How do you ban one network
news program and not the others?
Schools have the right
to legislate content.
Objection to the spin, judge.
This is a no-spin zone.
