late for whatever that circus is
that you just showed me.
You see, we can't just start over.
We have double jeopardy
laws in this country.
Check her bank account.
We did. We always do. Nothing.
No insurance policy, no stock
holdings, no inheritance from Martin.
She's not depressed.
And you didn't catch it
and someone died.
And I didn't catch it and
someone didn't go to jail.
We failed.
See, that's what your little stunt proves.
If it proves anything,
it proves we got beat.
And that you lied to a woman
you were putting in her arm.
Now, I don't know how
you feel about that,
stay between you and me.
You were never here.
BANKS:
Just come out thereand see her once. Please.
She wasn't depressed.
Is that what you wanted to see me about?
Sh*t, Jon!
I solved it finally, on my own.
Just come see her.
You're stuck in some old place, Jon.
I think you need someone
to help pull you out.
I'm consulting. I'm her
expert on this case.
Well, that has to stop!
You want to make it go away, you go out
to Wards Island and resign from the case.
Step off.
I can't do that.
Well, then it's not going to go away.
Okay, you won't come and
see her with me? No.
Can I ask you something else?
What?
Some Adderall. Just a short
term, 20 milligrams.
That's why you called, isn't it?
I'm struggling
to hold focus here, Gene. That's
what it's for, to help people focus.
You want to focus on something,
focus on never seeing her again.
BANKS:
D, I've been thinkingabout what you said.
Look, you're right.
It's time to move on.
I'm heading over to
I'm not gonna see her again.
You went to see Emily.
Damn right, I did.
You could have called me first.
She called me.
She was very upset.
It was kind of a dramatic
stunt to pull on a woman
who's already in a great
deal of emotional pain.
I don't understand your thinking.
I'm trying to determine
her state of mind
so I can chart the best
course of treatment.
"Treatment"?
You gave an amytal
interview to a woman
who's been declared not guilty.
I hope you learned something.
Oh, I did.
Quite a lot, actually.
I think she requires more observation.
And she'll need more
medication as well.
SIEBERT:
This is Dr. Sieberton Bridge Street.
I'd like an envelope
delivered to Manhattan.
Hey.
Where's the little guy?
F***!
I'm not going to go to the police,
or whomever one goes
to in this situation.
I'm just going to go away.
What? Wait! Hey, wait!
Wait?
Wait for this to happen again?
Another Alison or Emily?
Oh, wow. See?
She took these.
These were sent by a
friend of the husband's.
No, that's not true.
Stay away from us.
(CELL PHONE BUZZES)
Wait! Dierdre!
Dierdre. Dierdre,
wait a minute.
No, Jon. Wait a minute.
Hello, love.
(CELL PHONE BUZZES)
AUTOMATED FEMALE VOICE: You
have two unheard messages.
First unheard message.
CHILDS:
Yes, Dr. Banks?This is Jeffrey Childs
from the Office of
Medical Conduct Review.
I have some questions about Alison Finn.
Can you call me at...
(BEEP S)
AUTOMATED VOICE:
Deleted.
SIEBERT:
This is Dr. Siebert.
I'm sure you've received
my latest notes
concerning the Emily
Taylor case by now.
There is, I think you'll agree,
a different course
of treatment to pursue
that is in everyone's best interest.
Maybe we can meet
for a coffee? Thanks.
(CELL PHONE BEEPS)
AUTOMATED VOICE:
Saved.End of new messages.
Check erased messages.
Press 1-9.
SIEBERT:
You could getnational coverage on this.
"Shrinks f***ing patients
"and manipulating them
(WHISPERING) Hot stuff.
I would say this would
ruin your practice.
But wait.
You don't have a practice anymore
or a wife or a kid, I'm betting.
So what else can you lose?
Martha can certainly use those
State revoke your license, yet?
I always tell my patients,
"You know what the best predictor
"Past behavior. "
Well, you don't have
any more patients.
The only problem with having
"vs they tend to stay crazy.
You should know how difficult it is
to cure a pretty girl
with daddy issues.
Nice try, Jon.
I'm not buying it.
Spend the f***ing money now.
Because they're
coming to take it back.
What are you talking about?
You could go and ask her.
Only she asked me to keep
you from seeing her.
She told me everything.
Everything? No, I'll
tell you everything.
You wouldn't be here if
you had nothing to lose.
She already got a "not guilty" verdict.
You, on the other hand...
F*** you! You get her out of
there right now, you hear me?
You do that and you won't hear
from either one of us again.
Yeah, you can go back to chatting with
rich white people
about their problems.
She's cured, as of right now, Jon.
You're a f***ing genius!
BANKS". She's been
very agitated lately.
I think it best we
restrict her visitors.
And no phone calls, either,
without notifying me first.
WOMAN:
She's been resistingher medication as well.
Very confrontational with the staff.
She seems to be getting worse.
Mmm. I was afraid of that.
BANKS:
That's a mouth guard.The current lasts
for about five seconds.
They'll have administered
a paralytic agent,
but they put a tourniquet
on the ankle, you see?
To make sure she is having a seizure.
Keep your eye on that foot.
It's actually been shown
to be remarkably effective
for treating severe depression.
None of the side effects
you get with pills.
No idea what it might
do to a normal person.
I also wanted to
give you another test.
A personality inventory. Just a
series of true-or-false questions.
AUTOMATED VOICE:
SIEBERT:
This is Dr. Siebert.
I'm sure you've received
my latest notes
concerning the Emily
Taylor case by now.
Not a very subtle tool,
but the results will be
of interest to the board.
...a different course
of treatment to pursue
that is in everyone's best interest.
They like hard data to look at.
Wait. What is she saying?
Who?
I don't think you should
be my doctor anymore.
I think you should resign my case.
(SIGHING)
Victoria's paying me
way too much for that.
Out of your share, I assume.
The shock treatment was her idea.
It damages the memory.
It's in our best interest
that you start forgetting.
(DOOR OPENING)
Are you ready for your
treatment, Ms. Taylor?
Oh, no, I scheduled it for tomorrow.
(WOMAN MUMBLING)
I need to use the phone.
You can be next.
(STAMMERING)
I need to call my lawyer now.
Are you going to be long?
You going to be long?
I need to use the phone.
Are you going to be long?
Isn't there a time limit?
I need to call someone. My
