In Boston Legal season 1 episode 10, titled "Hired Guns," the team at Crane, Poole & Schmidt take on a case involving a high profile businesswoman who is accused of hiring a hitman to kill her husband. As the case unfolds, the lawyers find themselves in a complex web of lies and deceit, with everyone involved having their own agenda.
The episode begins with Denny Crane (William Shatner) and Alan Shore (James Spader) discussing their latest case, which involves defending a woman named Lorraine Weller (Delta Burke) who has been accused of conspiring to hire a hitman to kill her husband. While the evidence against Lorraine seems damning, Denny and Alan are convinced that their client is innocent and set out to prove it.
As the trial gets underway, the lawyers soon discover that Lorraine's husband was a powerful and ruthless businessman who had many enemies. Lorraine denies any involvement in her husband's death, but the prosecution argues that she had the means, motive, and opportunity to have him killed.
To make matters worse, Lorraine's case is complicated by the fact that she had several high-profile attorneys representing her before she hired Crane, Poole & Schmidt. These "hired guns" are brought in to testify against Lorraine, and the lawyers soon find themselves getting tangled up in a web of deceit and corruption.
Meanwhile, associate attorney Sally Heep (Lake Bell) finds herself in hot water when she is asked to represent a client who has been accused of sexual harassment. Sally is hesitant to take on the case, knowing that it could damage her reputation and career, but she eventually agrees to represent the client in court.
As the episode progresses, the case against Lorraine takes several surprising turns. The lawyers discover new evidence that supports Lorraine's innocence, but they also uncover information that suggests she may have been involved in her husband's death after all.
In the end, the trial concludes with a dramatic twist that no one could have predicted. As the lawyers try to make sense of what just happened, they are left to grapple with the question of whether justice was truly served in this case.
Overall, "Hired Guns" is a gripping episode that showcases the intricate and often murky world of criminal law. The episode is filled with unexpected twists and turns, as well as some memorable performances from the talented cast. Boston Legal fans won't want to miss this one.
