Side Effects Page #6

I was here.

I was doing this.

Honey, go to your room. Start your homework.

I'll be there in a minute.

I'm sorry.

What is all this?

The Delatrex thing?

No, look, I went to her office.

There is no Julia at

work who takes Ablixa.

What are you talking about?

Why did she make up Julia?

I don't know.

Isn't she sick?

I thought sick people

sometimes make things up.

BANKS". So you're

feeling better.

EMILY:
Yeah, much better.

I've been doing a lot of, um,

running on the treadmill here to try and

get in shape and stimulate serotonin.

You're not feeling like

you're in a "poisonous fog"?

No.

No, not so much anymore.

That phrase really stuck with me.

How did you come by it?

I don't know, really. Um...

I guess it's just...

I guess that's how I felt back then.

You know, maybe I heard it

or read it somewhere.

Back on the boat with Martin, we used

to always see the fog rolling in.

I'm sure a lot of depressed

people have felt that way before.

The important thing is that I

think the fog is finally lifting.

And I really think I'm going to

be ready to get out of here soon.

I have to go, I'm sorry. I

have a meeting in the city.

Do you think maybe, uh, next time

you could stay a little longer?

It's just I don't have

any other visitors

and this is really all I

have to look forward to.

What about your friend, Julia?

Julia?

Yes. From the ad agency.

Oh, Julia. No, I worked

with Julia at the bar.

I haven't heard from her

since everything happened.

I haven't heard from most people.

Are you okay?

I know what it's like to have your

entire life change out from under you.

The only difference is, you didn't

do anything wrong and Martin did.

WOMAN:
So,

the reason I called.

I mean, with all the attention

in the paper on the Taylor case,

and with the ethics probe and such,

I wanted to tell you that, um...

We need to ask you to

step off the study.

I'm sure it's all blown

out of proportion,

but we can't have you

on the payroll now.

I could be anonymous.

Still do the work.

I'm real sorry.

I feel horrible about this.

Maybe you can be part of another

study when this is over.

All right, then.

The funny thing is, with

Sadler-Benelux in the toilet,

we're up like 30%.

What?

The guys down on Wall Street are cashing

in because of what happened with Ablixa.

Worked out super well for us.

BANKS:
You can bet

on a stock to go down,

just like you can bet on it to go up.

A few days before 9/11,

there was a huge surge in the

purchase of options of airline stock.

No one knows why.

It's a complete mystery.

But United fell 40%

after the planes crashed

and people made a lot of money.

And it isn't illegal.

Thinking something's going

to happen isn't illegal

Breaking the law to make it

happen is a different story.

Jon, I know what insider trading is.

I used to work in finance.

Sure, you do,

but, look. See!

Hey. See what happened

at Sadler-Benelux

right after Martin Taylor died.

Down. Way down.

AziLyle, on the other

hand... up. Way up.

She did it. She made

it happen, do you see?

Do you see?

Ablixa was her idea!

But you prescribed it.

You did that.

I got a job today.

Huh? They offered me full time.

I left you a message this morning.

I didn't hear. (STAMMERS) My phone was

off 'cause I was at the hospital.

Hopefully with this and the consulting

money we can finally get back...

No, the Delatrex thing is over.

It's gone.

They fired me.

What?

When?

Today

That's why I have to make

this thing with Emily work.

I'm not letting another

Alison Finn happen,

so I'm f***ing fighting this time!

I don't want to hear

about Emily or Alison.

But this is starting

to make sense now!

No, it's not making sense!

It doesn't make sense that you're

sitting here doing this all day long!

The case is over.

The photographers are gone,

your partners are gone,

the Delatrex thing is now gone.

You're the only one that's still here.

I just want to know what happened.

A woman you were treating

killed her husband.

That's what happened.

EMILY:
But I already

told the truth.

BANKS:
That's what this

test will help to prove.

How does it do that?

It helps to show your

true state of mind.

Sodium amytal gives us a

window into someone's psyche.

It lowers inhibitions.

We make a video of the test

and we show it to the judge.

It's just you know

how I feel about drugs.

Emily, this is the

fastest way out of here.

What does it do to me?

Initially, you'll

feel light-headed.

And then you will get a

sense of well-being. Calm.

After a few minutes, you'll probably

get drowsy and fall asleep.

What do you do while that's happening?

I ask questions.

You answer. You say whatever

you feel about what happened.

What motivated you to come and

see me in the first place?

My motivation was to

get over my depression

and to have a life with my husband.

Then that's what this will show.

What if I say something else?

What do you mean?

I just mean, what if I say something

that makes my situation worse?

You say anything you're not happy

with, I'll destroy the video.

How old are you, Emily?

Twenty-eight.

Where are we?

Wards Island

Psychiatric Forensic Center.

What is the capital of New York?

Albany.

Do you know why you're here?

Because my husband is dead.

HOW did he die?

They said I stabbed him,

but I can't remember.

Did you want him dead? Did

you kill Martin on purpose?

No.

I wanted us to sail away together

on the boat, all three of us.

The three of you?

Madeleine.

What happened to Madeleine?

I lost her because I was sad

and she didn't want to stay

inside a sad person anymore.

He gave me so much and

then they took him away.

I wanted to give him a daughter.

But you killed him.

Were you angry with him?

Did you hate him?

No. I never would have hurt him.

I loved everything about him.

The way he smelled, (INHALES DEEPLY)

his hands. Everything

about him, I loved.

Did you do it for the money?

Like he did?

Emily.

I loved everything about him.

Emily, can you hear me?

I can't remember.

ASSISTANT D.A.:
That's what she said in

her statement. She doesn't remember.

BANKS:
She's lying.

What does her falling asleep prove?

You have to destroy this. You're

torturing the poor woman.

It's saline.

I gave her saltwater.

What?

There was no drug.

So, why did she pass out?

You don't put in a performance

like that on saltwater.

Call the hospital.

Order a blood test.

You won't find any

amytal in her system.

She's been lying this whole time.

Destroy that.

No. Call the hospital.

Order a blood test.

Not a chance.

We have her. Arrest her.

Dr. Banks...

I want my life back!

Destroy it before it destroys you.

She knew the safety

features of the car...

You don't want to say

that to me or to anyone.

Another thing. Sadler-Benelux is down.

Stop talking, Dr. Banks.

Stop! It's too late! Millions

of dollars were made!

No! You could have

worked with us! I asked.

The verdict's in. It's too f***ing
