Previously on The Practice. What's going
on?

Uh, dancing lessons.

He wants to learn and I figure it's a
good way to get some extra time with

You said you'd teach him. I know, but
it's just... For what? He's loving it.

He kind of got excited.

He's barely 11.

Man, that Lucy is hot.

Kendall, she's a lot older than you.

I think she likes me.

This law firm doesn't advertise.

Lots of lawyers do commercials.

Yeah, the shysters.

Think nobody will fight for you. You're
just a grunt.

I'm a grunt.

Just dial the number.

555 -GRUNT.

And ask for Jimmy.

I'll get your money.

Well, I think this advertisement makes
the point. Jimmy the Grunt is a lawyer

who will push forward with anything. And
he continues to do so today by

prosecuting a claim he knows he can't
make.

You don't know what I can or can't make.

Jimmy, can I get you anything else?

Ginger ale's supposed to be good.

He's puking.

Jimmy? Out of the second.

Bobby, he can't go into trial thick.

That just means he's ready.

It happens to him on the big cases. He
puked before the power lines case. He

puked before going up against Tommy
Silva.

Those were his best trials.

The gun case?

We should all be nauseous. We're going
into a case we can't win.

Can too.

What's going on?

Jimmy's puking. How are we doing on
Robertson?

Pushed. They bought time for the pre
-try.

My backpack.

What's that?

I think you should take one last shot at
a continuance. We'll never get a

continuance. You might, Jimmy. It's
worth a try.

There's talk that the manufacturers
aren't coming clean discovery -wise.

not going to get a last -second
continuance, Eleanor. Look, the defense

hurry. They may want to delay it. The
defense is thrilled to go now. We don't

have a case. Stop saying that. Earth to
Jimmy.

Causation. This is the time to be trying
this case. The gun industry is ripe to

get smacked.

Timing's everything, and I...

He's

really right.

We haven't even gone over my testimony.

I don't want to go over it. I don't want
it sounding rehearsed.

You just tell your story.

And then me.

You, I'm holding back for now.

Let's go.

Donald Young, Dolan Fright.

Yeah, one second.

It's your ex -wife.

Sounds pretty upset.

Sharon?

What?

Where is he?

Okay, I'll meet you down there.

What's wrong?

Dad!

How did they get in your locker? I don't
know. I swear to God.

The principal says he got a phone tip
from a parent.

Something about you dealing?

You know anything about that?

Wasn't dealing? That's a lie.

Were they your drugs? No.

Come on, Dad.

Then why were they in your locker? How
many times are you going to make him

answer that question? You see me talking
to my son?

I just want to go home.

Well, they're getting the papers ready.
But you need to think.

It was your locker.

I don't know. Maybe I was set up.

Set up?

By who? I don't know. Kids. Police.

Like they did Eleanor.

I swear to God those drugs weren't mine.

We were out having dinner.

Celebrating.

Lisa had just been accepted to Emerson.

And what happened?

All of a sudden there was screaming.

We looked around and there were three
men standing there waving guns.

It seemed like a holdup of some sort.

There was one guy just shooting
everywhere.

And there was yelling.

And we went to the floor.

And then they were gone. It all happened
so fast.

And as I climbed up, I looked to Lisa.

And she wasn't moving. She was just
laying there.

And I knew she had been hit.

And I went to try and shake her awake.

And she wouldn't wake.

She was dead.

First, let me say how sorry I am for
your loss, Mrs. Kimbrough.

Yes.

Mrs. Kimbrough, you're not alleging any
design defect.

in the guns Pearson Heron manufactures.

I think any time a gun is designed as an
assault weapon, there's some kind of

defect somewhere.

Yes, but this isn't about a safety
feature or product. No, it's about you

putting these things into the hands of
killers.

Move the strike.

Sustained.

Just answer the questions he asks, ma
'am.

Do you know of any technology employed
by... Objection.

This isn't about technology.

Can I ask my questions? You can ask
questions that are relevant to the cause

action. All right.

The objection is sustained.

The issue here concerns advertising and
marketing, Mr. Lawrence, and only that.

Mrs. Kimbrough, do you have any
knowledge that the person who shot and

your daughter read any advertising
relating to my client's guns?

I have no specific knowledge, no. In
fact, you don't even know how Mr. Brown

this gun, do you?

No, I do not.

Thank you, Mrs. Kimbrough.

That's all.

I think it went good.

You think?

Yes, but that's the easy part. Now we've
got to prove liability.

I also think we should take a quick shot
at settling. Clients don't want to

settle. They're saying that because they
think we have a chance of winning.

Which we do. Jimmy, we do not want to go
to verdict on this.

Hi.

Hi.

Ready? All set.

Listen, we talked before about your
demeanor saying neutral.

Yes. Forget it. We want you to come on
strong.

Really? I think we should lead it with
outrage.

Emotions are strength here. We can't
back off it.

Can you come on strong?

Are you kidding?

Don't overdo it. Just strong.

Go on in. We'll meet you.

Okay.

I don't disagree with him coming on
strong, Lizzie. But since I'm first

let's run it by me first.

He's going to take the stand in like
five minutes. There's not that much

We'll make the time.

The principal found drugs in his locker.
He was booked on possession with

intent. He doesn't know how he ended up
there.

You believe him? I got to, don't I?

Okay, let me talk to the principal.
Maybe we can suppress the search. Look,

an 11 -year -old kid. What the hell is
he... This ain't my kid, Bobby. Now, I

know he wouldn't do this kind of...
Maybe... Maybe we could steal this to

Eugene, I'm doing this. Look, no, I can
handle this. I'm doing it. We'll take

Eleanor with us, too.

If I have to go into the favor bank, I
will.

We'll take care of this.

Thank you.

How long have you worked for the Boston
Firearm Project?

Four and a half years.

And before that? I was a detective with
the Boston Police Department.

You're familiar, sir, with the gun used
in the shooting death of Lisa Kimbrough.

I am.

Could you describe it?

It's a semi -automatic assault weapon
known as the TAC -10.

Pretty serious thing.

It's a military weapon.

Did you say commercially available?

People can buy these?

Oh, yes.

In your experience as a member of the
Boston Firearm Project and as a member

the Boston Police Force, does it
surprise you that this weapon would be

a man like Ray Brown?

A person with a felony record? In my
experience, this man represents their

market.

Objection. There's no foundation for
that, and this witness knows it. Are you

going to tell me what I know, counsel?
All right. The objection is overruled.

That's a pretty strong statement, Mr.
Marshall.

This thing isn't for self -defense.

It isn't to shoot skeet.

It isn't to hunt.

Its design is to spray fire, which means
that you sweep it from side to side.

It goes against the way most people
shoot in a self -defense situation.

This is an offensive weapon.

Ever heard of survivalists, Mr.
Marshall?

Yes, but survivalists... Might a
survivalist buy this type of gun?

He might, but survivalists... Ever hear
the term plinking, Mr. Marshall? Oh,

please, you're going to tell me that
this... Plinking, sir.

Yes. What is it?

Shooting at cans and bottles.

It's a recreational use for the TAC -10,
isn't it?

The TAC -10 is designed to kill people.
Objection. Move to strike. Water

bottles. Sustained. There are uses for
this gun other than holding up a

convenience store, aren't there, Mr.
Marshall? This gun is designed to kill.

Assault the people who want to kill.
Move to strike. All right.

Is it your testimony before this court
that only criminals buy this weapon? Is

that your testimony?

No.

Thank you.

And do you think a law -abiding citizen
should be allowed to purchase this

weapon? No, I don't.

Thank you, sir.

I think we all know exactly where you
stand.

They were in here.

Seven bags of marijuana.

Frankly, it surprised me, Mr. Young.

Kendall isn't one of our problem
students.

The incident report says that you
received a phone tip from a parent, but

doesn't say who the parent was.

District policy is to keep that kind of
information confidential.

What kind of Gestapo policy is that?

I start naming names, and it discourages
people from coming forward.

I've confiscated two guns this year.

Nobody wants to be a target.

I understand your concern, but my son
said he was set up, and you relied on a

phone tip.

Now, how do you know the person on the
other line was a parent?

I recognize the name, and I recognize a
parent when I hear one. We have to know

who the accuser is. Otherwise... I'm
sorry. Ms. Richwood, you know we can

subpoena this information.

Let's just save some time.

They're in the business of supplying
criminals.

The defendant.

The defendant, as well as many other
major gun manufacturers.

But, Mr. Hedberg, a person can't just
walk into a store and buy a gun. There

background checks, waiting periods.

Yes, that all sounds good.

But our studies have found that straw
buyers go into these dealerships, buy

guns, and immediately put them into a
black market.

That's where the gangs get a hold of
them as well as other people who can't

legally buy them on their own. But
wouldn't that be the dealer's fault?

How do you blame the manufacturers?

I blame them because they turn a blind
eye to it. They know where these guns

headed. That, to me, makes them
complicit.

You have no direct evidence that my
client's company knows what the

do. How could they not know? These guns
are used... It's a guess on your part,

right, Mr. Hedberg? You have no specific
information as to what my client knows.

This is your opinion. The fact is that
one buyer with a clean record can walk

into a store and buy a hundred assault
weapons.

My opinion is that he doesn't want all
these guns for himself.

My guess... is that the dealers and the
manufacturers take the money and wink.

You work for an anti -gun research
foundation, don't you, sir?

Yes. And you have no actual knowledge as
to my clients' marketing strategies, do

you, sir?

No actual knowledge. They do an
excellent job of keeping that secret.

Lucky we have you to just fill in the
blanks.

Objection. Sustained. These opinions you
have, do you try to pass them off as

data in your studies?

All of our conclusions are suggested
quite persuasively by the data, Mr.

Lawrence. As you work for an anti -gun
project, is it just possible that the

conclusions came before the data?

No. No.

Now there's a truthful response.

Objection. Sustained.

He hung tough.

I think he did damage.

I think so, too. A case like this
represents the perversity of a legal

gone amok.

Here we have a cause, coupled with an
attorney of questionable character, such

as Mr. Berluti, who conspires to go out
and seek out a victim. Any victim he can

saddle up and ride in this liberal
jurisdiction of Massachusetts. She

you know that? Go shoot somebody and
smile!

Just heard from the ambulance chasing
sector of the... Ambulance is filled

gunshot victims! This is an attorney who
advertised on television, billing

himself as Jimmy the Grunt. This is a
man who capitalizes on people's personal

pain on a contingency.

Mrs. Baker?

I'm Eugene Young. This is Bobby Donald.

I'm Kendall Young's father.

We're both attorneys at law.

What do you want?

We just have a couple of questions.

It'll only take a minute.

Come in.

Michael, take Kevin and go to your room,
please.

Now!

I know what this is about.

So you made the call?

Yes.

My son says he was set up.

Is that what you told him to say?

Excuse me? I'm sorry, Mrs. Baker, but
somehow we've gotten off on the wrong

foot. All we're trying to ascertain here
is why you made the call.

Kendall's dealing drugs.

He tried to get Michael to do the same.

I don't believe that.

Believe it.

Do you know my son?

If you knew my son, you'd know that's
just not possible.

Do you like my clock?

It has a tiny camera in it.

A nanny cam.

I figure with what you hear in the news,
you can't be too careful.

Two nights ago, I come home, and I find
it on the machine.

We can make some money.

When are you going to get it?

I'll meet him at 4 .30. He's going to
give me eight bags.

You heard Brian Armstrong got committed
to DYS. He's 14.

We're 11.

Julie. Big difference, especially if you
deal more than 1 ,000 feet away from

the school.

The park's better. We don't need to be
100 feet away.

What if I get busted?

My dad says if you get caught, never
admit to anything, even to your lawyer,

because they'll be stuck with you for
every time.

135?

No admission of liability.

I think we can push them to 150.

But they don't even admit to blame.

No, but the fact that they're paying
money, people can infer blame.

We think we should accept the kid who
shot your daughter.

We got no evidence as to how he got the
gun, whether there was any connection to

how it was marketed. I'm sorry.

Mr. Belluti, when you agreed to
represent us, you stressed that this was

money.

And I know that your contingency is
hanging on...

What we really want is a verdict.

I don't think you'll get it.

I know this seems very selfish of us,
but we can't settle out on Lisa's death.

I mean... What we want to try to do is

affect the way they do their business.

A hundred and fifty isn't even a pinch
to them.

We're not going to affect the way these
people do business, Mrs. Kimbrough.

We don't have any money now, but I am
willing to pay you by the hour so that

don't lose out.

That's not an issue.

If you want to keep going, then we'll
keep going.

They can search you without a warrant?
Don't worry about they. They are the

least of your concerns right now. Worry
about me.

Now, why are you selling drugs?

Answer me!

Eugene. He's dealing. I can't believe
you'd be so stupid. If you would stop

yelling at him. I'm not protecting him.
I want to hear what the boy has to say.

I'm sorry, but... But what?

It's just marijuana. It's like selling
beer.

Oh. That's a good response.

Aren't you glad you heard that?

Kendall, do you smoke pot and drink
beer?

No.

I just thought I could make some money.
I don't do that stuff, I swear.

Like you swore those drugs weren't
yours.

Technically, they weren't mine. I got
them on consignment.

What? How do you know a word like that?
And who gave them to you?

Boy.

Who gave you the drugs?

It goes by Robbie G. I don't know his
full name.

Robbie G.

You know him?

I don't know. Maybe.

Either you do or you don't. He might
work for a client of mine. I'm not sure.

That night, father and son both worked
for the same guy.

I always make this mistake.

I buy a new pair of shoes for trial,
they're not broken in, and I get a

Try mine.

You're still chasing the goats of Jimmy
the Grunt, aren't you?

He tried to stop me from making that
commercial.

I remember.

Serves me right.

Jimmy, you've come a long way from Jimmy
the Grunt.

Look, we even have an offer here, which
is a miracle.

How come with the tobacco company you
were like Don Quixote, but here...

We had a much better case against the
tobacco company.

And you know how people love guns.

But don't you agree that these companies
are supplying criminals?

Yes.

But... But what?

Working late here with the crazy loons
we represent.

I don't want gang members getting hold
of guns like these.

I don't.

But I'm glad I got mine.

Ready?

I think.

The key is not to try to pin him.

He testifies in all their trials. He's
like a professional witness now.

But I gotta go hard, don't I? For him,
I'd keep it under control.

Plus, don't press for answers. Do your
damage with the questions and then cut

them off.

You have to cut off the responses. He's
persuasive.

Stick to yes and no as much as you can.

Okay. Oh, you have some ink on your
face.

It seems they can search the locker.

Without a warrant? Comes down to
reasonable suspicion.

Which they didn't necessarily have. The
informant has to be reliable.

The tip didn't come from a snitch,
Rebecca.

It came from some kid's parent.

But there's no evidence the principal
knew the parent, which means she has no

basis to determine his reliability.

Also, on the tape, Kendall said that it
was bad to have drugs near the school.

That would go against suspicion of a
locker. The tape isn't relevant to

cause. The principal didn't even know
about the tape when she okayed the

She was just acting on what the parents
said. And she didn't know the parents.

Which means they wobble on reliability.

I think Rebecca's right.

We could shut this down.

All right, the DA is Steve Bennett.

Helen agreed to talk to him. I'm on my
way to see her.

I'm coming with you.

No, you're not.

I'll have a better chance without you
there.

The idea that we market to criminals is
an absolute lie.

Your ads do show young men with guns.

As do ads for trucks.

We shoot for a rugged demographic.

To say that means criminal is
irresponsible, if not repugnant. Okay,

Hyde, you don't deny sometimes your
company's products fall into the hands

people who use them for criminal
purposes.

Look, we comply with every federal and
state safety regulation, every

distribution regulation.

What more can we do?

This is the equivalent of holding Ford
Motor Company liable because somebody

buys one of their Broncos and runs over
people.

I guess their argument would be it's
more foreseeable that a gun would end up

the wrong hands than a Bronco. And I
don't dispute that.

But nor can we control the chain of
custody of our product after we sell it.

A lot of these guns used in crimes are
stolen.

You're familiar with recent studies
showing that almost half the handguns

in crimes are legally bought from
licensed dealers.

Well, I'm aware of the studies. I don't
agree with the data.

You're aware that these studies show
these guns are bought by straw purchases

for people who can't legally buy them.

Objection. He's trying to introduce
studies and research as evidence.

Sustained. The jury will disregard it.
Mr. Berluti, that's enough.

This your ad for the TAC -10?

Yes.

There's no question before you, sir.

Is it your testimony that you do not try
to advertise to people who might use

your guns for criminal purposes?

That is my testimony.

Referring to an advertisement running in
this month's Soldier of Fortune

magazine, talking about the TAC -10,
does it represent the weapon to have

excellent resistance to fingerprints?

There's a context. It's a yes or no
question, sir. Does the advertisement

represent the weapon to have excellent
resistance to fingerprints?

Yes, but there... Thank you. You
testified that you follow all state and

regulations with respect to
distribution, did you not? Yes.

Again, this is a yes or no question.

Does your company ever sell gun kits
through the mail?

Yes, but... You've answered the
question.

Sir, my understanding of a gun kit...

It's not considered legally a gun since
it doesn't include a receiver.

Would my understanding be correct?

Yes. And since it's not legally a gun,
no background checks are necessary.

A convicted felon could order these kits
through the mail. Would that be true?

Yes. Do you also advertise something
called a frame flat which can be bent

a receiver?

The context... It's a yes or no
question. Your Honor, I object.

Overruled. He should be allowed to
finish his answers. He's being asked yes

no questions. The objection is
overruled.

Your company advertises these frame
flats.

True or not true? True.

You also supply your customers with an
800 telephone number. They can call for

assistance in how to make a frame flat
into a receiver.

We have an 800 number that offers
general assistance.

Assistance including how to turn a frame
flat into a receiver.

Yes. If I were a convicted felon and I
wanted a gun, to avoid a background

check, I could order one of your gun
kits, order a frame flat, call you up,

you'd help me make the receiver.

There are a lot of law -abiding people,
Mr. Berluti, who enjoy making their own

guns.

Sure.

Why do you advertise that the gun has a
resistance to fingerprints?

Well, it refers to the moisture and oils
on the hand, a moisture that can

corrode the metal.

We're talking about a finish that goes
to the gun's wear and tear.

It has nothing to do with avoiding
police fingerprint detection.

Thank you.

Your ad doesn't read resistance to
moisture, which causes corrosion.

It reads resistance to fingerprints,
right?

Yes. He's willing to continue without a
finding. One year probation. But if you

move for a suppression hearing, then
he's going to recommend a delinquent

finding. Oh, come on.

Bobby, they can make intent with this
kid. They're offering probation.

All I'm asking is that they don't pull
the offer if we challenge the search.

It's policy. It's Eugene's son.

I understand, but... Bobby, if we ever
did that for you or Eugene, come on.

You know how it goes.

Why are you even blinking? Just take the
no finding and probation and be

thankful.

I'm here to see Eugene.

And you would be?

Charles Beth.

Eugene paid me.

Hey, Eugene.

What's up?

Thanks.

You still have your Robbie G running for
you?

Why?

Is he in trouble again?

I just need to know.

You can tell me. I'm your lawyer.

Yeah. He's still on the payroll.

Now you're going to tell me what's going
on.

Bobby G hooked up with my son.

You in the school business, Charlie?

You out of the school business. You hear
me? I need a sec.

If I get to slide with you anywhere near
school privilege, you know, I'm going

straight to the cop with everything I
got on you.

Now get out.

375. It's better than we ever hoped.

Susan, Doug, I know. I know how much you
want that public verdict.

But you have to remember, in the
beginning, our goal was to do well

force an offer.

We're here. We've got a great offer.

You're in debt. You can use this money.

Trust me, I'm not thinking about our
contingency here. I'm thinking of you.

I don't doubt that, Lindsay.

But we keep thinking of Lisa.

Tell you what, we still have closing
arguments.

I don't think the offer's going
anywhere. We'll see where we are after

summations.

Okay, okay.

Sorry to be doing this to you.

This is your case, Mr. Kimbrough, not
ours.

Yeah.

Jimmy, I hate to put pressure on you,
but your closing has to be great, if for

no other reason than to keep that offer
on the table.

Thanks, Lindsey.

We can't risk it, Eugene.

Probation puts him in the system.

That means he's reporting to
caseworkers.

Yes, for a year.

But if we challenge PC and lose, he's
branded a delinquent. That stays on his

record for life.

Every time he applies for a job... I can
win at probable cause. I checked the

case law.

Eugene... I can win it, Bobby.

I don't want my kid put into the system.

When I know, I can beat it.

Eugene, we have a client here found with
enough marijuana to warrant an intent

to distribute conviction.

We've been offered probation. It would
be malpractice of us to turn it down.

Let us help him as his lawyers.

You help him as his father.

Mr. Berluti, we'll hear from you.

Something like 10 % of all high school
kids have been shot at.

There are more licensed gun dealers in
this country than gas stations.

Guns are all over.

Hey, Second Amendment, red, white, and
blue. Free country.

Truth be told, I've thought of getting
one.

Protect myself and my home.

My right.

But this, this isn't a self -defense
gun.

It's a spray fire assault weapon.

Who do they make these for?

Hunters? Collectors?

Skeet shooters?

They know who's buying these things,
just like we all do. And even if they

not to know about the black market,
those guns go almost directly into when

leave the shops.

They can't deny knowing about all these
studies that say this is what's

happening. Who are we kidding?

They sell gun kits to beat the
background checks.

They advertise resistance to
fingerprints claiming, oh, it's a

corrosion issue.

Do you really believe that?

Do they really expect you to?

Guns don't kill.

People do.

That's a nice jingle.

But when you promote assault weapons,
when you flood the market with them,

gee, they go off in the hands of the
very criminals you derive your profits

from, you've got to take some
responsibility.

That's all we're asking, ladies and
gentlemen.

We're not in here calling them
murderers.

We're just saying it's foreseeable that
there's a black market for these guns.

It's foreseeable where these guns will
eventually end up.

It's foreseeable that people will use
these guns to kill.

Foreseeable that people like Lisa
Kimbrough will end up dead.

Who's buying these things?

Just a little responsibility.

That's all we ask.

Every 13 seconds, an American gun owner
uses a firearm to defend against a

criminal.

He didn't mention that in his closing,
did he?

The TAC -10, as the testimony revealed,
is viable for both self -defense and

recreation.

He forgot to touch on that as well.

My client never met the man who shot and
killed Lisa Kimbrough.

There is no evidence to suggest...

that this person ever saw Pearson
Heron's advertising.

There's no case here.

Man uses a weapon to kill somebody?

Let's sue the person who made the
weapon. That's what they're saying.

Well then, somebody gets stabbed, let's
sue the cutlery manufacturer.

Drunk driver hits someone?

Sue Chrysler. Man bludgeoned somebody
with a baseball bat? Sue Louisville

Slugger. Woman is poisoned?

Sue the pharmaceutical company. There's
a deep, deep pocket behind every

instrument, isn't there?

Like automobiles and baseball bats and
carving knives, guns, when used as

directed, are safe.

The vast majority of gun owners are law
-abiding people who use them safely.

I agree, this case really is about
responsibility.

We're becoming this litigious nation
where every time a tragedy occurs, we

a deep pocket to sue.

Ray Brown killed Lisa Kimbrough, not
Pearson Heron.

Responsibility means going after the
ones responsible.

And not just the ones with the money.

I hope

you know the bullet you dodged.

You also better know, you get arrested
again, this case comes alive again.

And you get a guilty finding which
labels you a delinquent for the rest...

look at me.

The rest of your life.

First, you're grounded.

You're grounding me at mom?

Keep your mouth shut.

Second, I want you at my office this
afternoon.

I want you to look Bobby, Rebecca, and
Eleanor all in the eye and thank them

devoting the last 24 hours to you.

Third... Part of my anger at you...

It comes from fear, Kendall.

This thing is scaring me like... As
angry as I am at you, I know we got to

something.

I'm signing us both up for a drug
awareness program, and I hope your mom

come too.

You can see I'm angry.

But I hope you also see...

I love you.

Kendall, go to your room. I'm not quite
done here yet. Kendall, go to your room.

I need to talk to your father.

I don't want him going to your office.

I don't like what goes on there. I don't
like what he learns there.

You blaming me?

I don't want him there.

600?

Their jury consultants must be worried.

$600 ,000?

Yes. I can't believe it. Doug, Susan, in
my opinion, this is like an admission

of blame.

Obviously, you think we should take it.
I can't see how we can't.

You think so too?

Actually, no. It's just... what?

I think your clothing hit the mark,
Jimmy. So do they, so do their

And if it's a judgment for the
plaintiff, it'll have to be more than

Now you think we should go for it?

I don't know.

$600 ,000 is a lot of money.

I wouldn't be quick to turn it down, but
my gut says we'll get more. But the

judge could throw it out, just like in
the power lines case. He just threw it

out. Well, he didn't grant the directed
verdict.

The New York verdict didn't get thrown
out.

It's your decision.

Honey, 600 is more than we know what to
do with.

Like it greedy.

Because we want a verdict.

And if she thinks we can get one...
We're broke.

Are you sure?

We started this for Lisa.

Let's finish for her.

Are you sure?

No.

Sharon?

Do you want to go in my office?

Yeah.

No, um, wait.

I told my lawyer I could handle this,
but I forgot to ask whether I needed

witnesses to do this.

To do what?

To serve you with this petition.

Change child custody? I don't think
you've been a positive influence in

Kendall's life.

I'm willing to agree to some very
limited supervised visitation, but

You want to deny me access to my own
son? You saw that tape, Eugene.

He learned what he learned.

Maybe we should go to your office.

I'm sorry to do this.

You think it's in his interest to deny
me joint custody? I do.

Look, I know what you do is important
work.

But to him, when you make drug dealers
defendable, you make them excusable.

not that simple, Sharon.

You can't be laying this on me.

It may be unfair, but I've got to go
with my instinct.

I don't like what he's becoming around
you.

The clerk will read the verdict.

On question one, was the defendant
negligent in the marketing, advertising,

distribution of its product?

We answer, yes.

On question two, was the negligence of
the defendant a proximate cause of the

injuries and death?

Answer, yes.

Question three.

What amount of damages will fairly
compensate the survivors?

Answer, $7 million.

The court has found for the plaintiff.

The defendant notes its appeal for the
record.

The jury is dismissed with the thanks of
the court.

We're adjourned.

I don't know what to say. Me neither.

Jimmy, you did it. You did it. And the
judge didn't throw it out. I didn't hear

him throw it out. He didn't throw it
out. They said $7 million?

Yeah. I think I'm going to fall. Can you
hold me up just another second?

Don't throw up on me. Oh, I won't do
that, no.

The judge didn't throw it out? He didn't
throw it out.

Because I didn't hear him throw it out.

Seven million dollars?

That's what he said. Have you talked to
Lindsay? Sometimes Jimmy gets things

wrong. It's seven million. I don't
believe it. Is this the first

verdict? Second. Don't forget the New
York case. He's going to want to be made

partner now. He should.

Is he going to get a commission off of
this? I'm just curious.

He's also going to make more money than
I make.
