know what a travesty this is.

A man arrested
for defending his own home.

152
00:09:44,083 --> 00:09:47,177
It's a farce. Not the funny kind.
This is one serious farce.

153
00:09:47,286 --> 00:09:49,811
May I ask what we're pleading?
It seems self-defense--

154
00:09:49,922 --> 00:09:51,981
Don't like that kind of thinking.
Defensive thought.

155
00:09:52,091 --> 00:09:54,924
We've gotta strike first, preempt 'em.
What did they say in the news?

''Victim or vigilante?'' It's neither.
This is Russell Blayney, hero.

- Exactly.

but your husband was an adult...

a famous man of the world...

172
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:12,533
and I was an immature kid who did not
understand the document she was signing.

173
00:11:12,638 --> 00:11:15,334
There was no meeting
of the minds here.

174
00:11:15,441 --> 00:11:19,343
So this contract, I'm afraid,
is not binding.

to understand what you were signing.

178

Your husband talked me into
doing quite a few things I didn't understand.

00:11:35,294 --> 00:11:38,286
Tell me, why should I do
something nice for you?

180
00:11:38,397 --> 00:11:41,423
And don't say because you did
something nice for my husband.

00:11:41,534 --> 00:11:45,095
What do you intend
to do with the photos?

182
00:11:45,204 --> 00:11:50,232
Half of Carl's collection is already promised
to the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

I intend to auction off the other half,

going on the block.

very personal favor.

- Of course.
- After an extended absence...

187
00:12:11,597 --> 00:12:16,933
I have recently reconnected
with my daughter, Rachel...

00:12:17,036 --> 00:12:20,995

Congratulations, Paul.

My daughter
is a drug addict.

191
00:12:26,612 --> 00:12:31,413
Or at least she was. She says she's clean now,
but I have my suspicions.

192
00:12:31,517 --> 00:12:36,079
If she is using again, then my granddaughter
could be in danger.

No, no. You misunderstand.
I don't want your legal advice.

195
00:12:43,462 --> 00:12:46,454
I want you to find out if my daughter
is using drugs again.

196
00:12:48,901 --> 00:12:53,133
Brad, if this year
has taught me anything...

197
00:12:53,239 --> 00:12:57,801
it's that you will get the job done
by any means necessary.

198
00:13:01,647 --> 00:13:06,380
I would never ask this of you
unless it was essential.

199
00:13:12,224 --> 00:13:15,091
Absolutely.
I'll do what I can.

Carl Hauser was taking naked pictures of me,
not denying me the vote.

204
00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:41,950
The 26th Amendment, which not only
extended the right to vote to 18-year-olds...

205
00:13:42,054 --> 00:13:45,046
but also persuaded the states to grant
them status as adults...

was ratified in 1971 .

And now mine as well.

I wasn't 21 when I signed
that agreement.

211
00:13:59,471 --> 00:14:01,769
I was legally a minor...

Why didn't I think of this sooner?

I'm going to credit
karma or Freud.

215
00:14:09,915 --> 00:14:14,045
Either way, it's because I was destined
to discover and revel in...

Uh, yeah. They're in the self-help section
right over there.

for his television remote, his nebulizer,

I had to do something...

00:16:52,945 --> 00:16:55,345
so that's when I rigged up
my little system.

00:16:55,447 --> 00:16:58,177
Just a little jolt.
You know, send 'em a little shock.

256
00:16:58,283 --> 00:17:01,616
- Tell us what happened
that night. You were at home?
- Yeah. I was awake actually.

257
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,917
I was putting dishes away in the dishwasher
and I heard some noise on the porch.

258
00:17:05,024 --> 00:17:08,858
And I thought, ''Here we go. This is it.''
So I moved into the living room.

259
00:17:08,961 --> 00:17:11,191
- So you saw him?
- Yeah. He was looking through the window.

260
00:17:11,296 --> 00:17:13,560
- He was a big wetback, you know?
- Latino.

261
00:17:13,665 --> 00:17:15,599
Drug addict.
He was completely high.

262
00:17:15,701 --> 00:17:18,397
I could see it in his eyes,
even from inside the house.

263
00:17:18,504 --> 00:17:22,531
- And then what happened?
- Well, he-- he starts for the window.

264
00:17:22,641 --> 00:17:25,474
Now, I don't know if you've ever
seen anyone on crystal meth...

and they feel like they're invincible.

with a screwdriver or something.

broke into my house over the years...

274
00:17:55,841 --> 00:17:57,900
and took from me--
stole my stuff.

I mean, he was just getting
what he deserved, right?

276
00:18:00,546 --> 00:18:05,609
Let me tell you the most unbelievable thing.
Did you know that when you get electrocuted...

277
00:18:05,717 --> 00:18:08,811
you know, your blood literally
boils right inside the veins?

278
00:18:08,921 --> 00:18:11,822
That's how the electricity
flows through your body, through your veins.

279
00:18:11,924 --> 00:18:14,620
And so here's this guy.
He's a wetback.

280
00:18:14,726 --> 00:18:18,685
But I could see his veins
are glowing through his skin...

281
00:18:18,797 --> 00:18:21,664
as he was being charred
from the inside out.

282
00:18:21,767 --> 00:18:25,601
And I-- I could smell
his flesh burning, which was weird.

283
00:18:25,704 --> 00:18:27,729
It smelled like a roast...

284
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,866
a well-deserved cooked roast.

285
00:18:30,976 --> 00:18:34,104
That's when I,you know, finally
turned off the electricity.

00:18:34,213 --> 00:18:36,147
When he was good and done.

Wow. You're just going

Okay. I was

Operation Desert Storm.

of the First Marine
Expeditionary Force.

And under enemy mortar, artillery
and small-arms fire...

314
00:20:44,009 --> 00:20:48,912
we breached mine fields, trenches,
barbed wire, and disabled six enemy divisions.

315

By the morning of the 28th, 100 hours
after the ground operations had begun...

316
00:20:52,517 --> 00:20:55,486
our coalition forces had
destroyed 42 enemy divisions.

That's the bulk of the Iraqi army
in the Kuwaiti theater of operations.

was to get these photos
out of the public eye.

367

find their way to the press.

Before that could happen,
of course, we'd ask the court...

to seal all exhibits and issue an appropriate
gag order to prevent disclosure.

And then, Marguerite, the old crony
will discover how deeply in debt you are.

one of your husband's beautiful artworks.

to him and commiserate...

your husband's will...

at which point your husband's estate
will be tied up--

to be this fella I'm thinking of...

is if you showed her

television appearances and theatrics...

593
00:38:13,090 --> 00:38:15,024
Mr. Crane has tainted the jury pool...

594
00:38:15,126 --> 00:38:17,993
to such an extent that the Commonwealth
moves for a change of venue.

595
00:38:18,095 --> 00:38:19,892
Denied, Mr. Ginsberg.

596
00:38:19,997 --> 00:38:23,865
You both have manipulated
the media coverage of this case.

597
00:38:23,968 --> 00:38:26,698
Only Mr. Crane has done
a betterjob of it.

598
00:38:26,804 --> 00:38:29,364
You will play in the sandbox
that you built.

- Shirley, blondie,join me.

600
00:38:46,924 --> 00:38:49,085
I'm happy
to inform you...

601
00:38:49,193 --> 00:38:52,424
there's going to be a plea bargain
in the American Homeowner case.

602
00:38:52,530 --> 00:38:54,259
How do you know?

603
00:38:54,365 --> 00:38:58,392
Today, my office has indicted
City Councilman Adam Petrick...

604
00:38:58,502 --> 00:39:01,767
on charges of accepting bribes
and illegal campaign contributions.

605
00:39:01,872 --> 00:39:04,397
He has agreed to surrender
at his arraignment.

606
00:39:04,508 --> 00:39:08,877
He's changing the narrative.
We're yesterday's news.

607
00:39:08,979 --> 00:39:11,470
You gotta hand it to him.
The guy's good. He's creating his next reality.

608
00:39:11,582 --> 00:39:13,880
- I wonder what he's gonna put on the table.
- No jail time.

609
00:39:13,984 --> 00:39:17,010
- How can you be so sure?
- Years of experience.

610
00:39:17,121 --> 00:39:19,021
And he called
a half an hour ago.

611

[ Shirley ]
What are you going to do with those?

612
00:39:30,568 --> 00:39:33,469
I haven't decided.
You know the one...

613
00:39:33,571 --> 00:39:35,732
where you're not quite sure
what you're looking at...

614
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:40,140
then you take a step back
and realize what it is?

615
00:39:40,244 --> 00:39:42,144
That one may be going
in the powder room.

616
00:39:42,246 --> 00:39:43,770
- Alan.
- Tell you what.

617
00:39:43,881 --> 00:39:46,008
I'll leave them to you
when I die.

618
00:39:46,117 --> 00:39:49,883
As things stand,
I'm quite sure I'll pass on before you.

619
00:39:49,987 --> 00:39:53,286
Show those pictures to anyone,
and I'll see to it myself.

620
00:39:53,391 --> 00:39:56,383
Shirley, I have no intention
of sharing those with anyone.

621
00:39:56,494 --> 00:39:59,827
I'm keeping you all to myself.
I give you my word.

622
00:39:59,930 --> 00:40:04,458
You're one of the few people
for whom I know that to be true.

623
00:40:06,404 --> 00:40:07,996
Thank you.

624
00:40:08,105 --> 00:40:10,972
No. Thank you.

625
00:40:29,126 --> 00:40:31,492
I understand congratulations
are in order.

626

- Never lost. Never will.

I may not be
the Denny Crane I once was...

628
00:40:37,735 --> 00:40:39,794
but, until today,
I didn't realize...

629
00:40:39,904 --> 00:40:43,340
that this Denny Crane
might be even better.

630
00:40:43,441 --> 00:40:47,104
Opposing lawyers everywhere
are quaking in their custom-fitted shoes.

631
00:40:47,211 --> 00:40:50,237
Damn right they are.
So who cares if she--

632
00:40:51,949 --> 00:40:54,474
Who cares?

633
00:40:54,585 --> 00:40:56,485
You're still upset
about Bev.

634
00:40:56,587 --> 00:40:58,487
What I don't understand is--

635
00:40:58,589 --> 00:41:01,854
I was married to one of my wives for five years.
Got over her in a day.

636
00:41:01,959 --> 00:41:05,326
Bev and I were married
for three hours, and yet--

637
00:41:05,429 --> 00:41:07,124
And yet?

638
00:41:07,231 --> 00:41:12,464
Do you know that I even
have memories of her that aren't sexual?

639
00:41:12,570 --> 00:41:14,401
I'm sure you do.

640
00:41:14,505 --> 00:41:16,837
I miss her.

641
00:41:18,108 --> 00:41:20,008
I miss her.

642
00:41:22,012 --> 00:41:24,242
Well, are the rumors true?

643
00:41:24,348 --> 00:41:26,248
You have naked photos
of Shirley?

644
00:41:27,618 --> 00:41:29,916
Aw, come on.
What's the big deal?

645
00:41:30,020 --> 00:41:33,956
I've had naked photos
of Shirley for years.

646
00:41:40,664 --> 00:41:43,258
Denny, she's asleep
in all these.

647
00:41:43,367 --> 00:41:46,234
Here's one
where she woke up.

648
00:41:47,838 --> 00:41:52,571
Have you ever seen
a beautiful naked woman...

649
00:41:52,676 --> 00:41:54,576
