to fully research

all aspects of the case.

For instance,

I have a um...

a receipt here...

for six 28-day stays

at the Piney Woods rehab center

for Mrs. Harrison's

treatment of sexual addiction.

I'd like to get

to the bottom of that.

- I'll give you one week.

- Thank you, Your Honor.

Six months

for sexual addiction?

My therapist

was very good.

We have to talk.

It's not my fault

that Mary Harrison

has the IQ

of a dinner plate.

I'd have found out that

Harrison disposed of the art.

I mean, that's why

I asked for the continuance.

It's just that this Rafferty

guy beat me to it.

You want him dead?

- Oh, Mother.

- I meant socially.

I don't know, I've never been

up against anyone like him.

He's very un... something.

I can't tell if he just

got lucky or he's...

really, really good.

- Maybe he's both.

- Thank you, Mother.

What are you eating?

Vegetables.

- Is this Rafferty guy cute?

- I didn't notice.

Besides, he's not your type.

He's old enough to drive.

Quick, Channel 6.

...In court today

were opening arguments

in the divorce

of Gary "Gadget" Harrison.

- Channel 6, Mom.

- Harrison is being sued...

...at stake...

a reported $97 million.

We caught up with Harrison's

attorney Daniel Rafferty

earlier today

outside the courthouse.

Well, we do feel

that Mrs. Harrison's

monetary demands

are outrageous.

After all,

it's Mr. Harrison's products

that come with a money-back guarantee,

not Mr. Harrison.

That's incredible. He just got into town

and he's already working the press.

- And you didn't notice if he's cute?

- Shh, call me later.

Quite frankly, after

this morning's opening...

She takes after her father.

The prenuptial

will stand as agreed.

Mrs. Harrison's case has

about as much chance as a...

uh, snowball in hell.

Okay, Mr. Rafferty...

I accept.

Why am I not surprised?

Hello?

Mr. Rafferty?

Hello?

Thanks, Benny.

Anymore arrive, just put them

outside my door, okay?

- Oh... oh, uh!

- Hey.

Oh, sorry.

Pardon me.

- Wait, wait, I'm walking here!

- Hey, you looking to die, lady?

And very kindly stepping in

at the last minute for Erin Swedland,

one of New York's

most successful attorneys;

first in her class at Yale, and partner

at Katz, Cohen & Phelps...

Audrey Woods.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Small world, eh?

And another counselor kind enough

to step in at the last minute.

Some say there's

method in his madness.

Some say

madness is his method.

He's practiced in Chicago,

Boston, Los Angeles.

And I guess practice

makes perfect...

because he's never

lost a case.

The "late"

Daniel Rafferty.

Mmm.

Do you always look

like an unmade bed?

Uh-oh.

You've either taken

an immediate dislike to me
