:15:00
- How temporary?
- A day, a week, a month...
:15:03
...if the precipitating stresses are removed.
:15:07
Which means he's not gonna get better
as long as he's in the can.
:15:10
He could conceivably get worse.
:15:12
Right now he thinks
somebody is trying to kill him.
:15:15
And he could deteriorate to the point
where he's permanently schizophrenic.
:15:19
Then he's got a real problem. He goes
before the parole board in four weeks.
:15:23
Would they actually release him?
:15:25
Oh, yeah. I'm sure they'll want
to release a major Mafia figure...
:15:28
...who's now certifiably deranged
on top of it.
:15:31
Why don't they release him
to a halfway house...
:15:34
...or a center where he can get
the care he needs?
:15:36
Based on my earlier work with him,
I don't think he's dangerous...
:15:39
...and I think he's making
a strong effort to reform himself.
:15:45
Okay...
:15:47
...I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
:15:50
I'm gonna release him
into your custody.
:15:53
Mine? Oh, no.
No, I couldn't... No. No. No.
:15:57
Mr. Chapin, thank you, anyway,
but this is a very bad time for me.
:16:01
- See, my father just died.
- I'm sorry.
:16:04
And I'm grieving. It's a process.
And I have a bulging disk in my neck.
:16:10
And I have this burning sensation
when I urinate...
:16:12
- Yeah, I've had that too.
- We're redecorating, which is a nightmare.
:16:16
- You wanna see him killed in prison?
- No.
:16:18
Or sent to a facility
for the criminally insane?
:16:20
- Of course not.
- Then he's all yours.
:16:22
I told my son we couldn't have a dog.
I'm gonna bring home Paul Vitti?
:16:27
I'm gonna talk
to the Bureau of Prisons...
:16:29
...and get you certified
as a temporary federal institution.
:16:32
I can't be an institution.
I work in the suburbs.
:16:34
I handle neurotic soccer moms
and alcoholic Gentiles...
:16:37
You have got 30 days to get him
into shape for his parole hearing.
:16:40
That means sane, sober
and gainfully employed.
:16:44
Now I'm warning you, doctor.
If he screws up in any way, if he flees...
:16:47
...or if I find out this was a setup
to get him on the street...
:16:50
...I will hold you totally responsible.
:16:53
And you will pay dearly.
:16:55
You'll be stripped of your license
and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
