1
00:01:14,449 --> 00:01:19,230
The impact of the crash threw me to the
floor of the bus.
2
00:01:21,110 --> 00:01:21,870
The
3
00:01:21,870 --> 00:01:31,710
impact
4
00:01:31,710 --> 00:01:34,950
of the crash threw me to the floor of
the bus.
5
00:01:36,730 --> 00:01:37,330
The
6
00:01:37,330 --> 00:01:46,490
impact
7
00:01:46,490 --> 00:01:52,190
of the crash threw me to the floor of
the bus, causing permanent and painful
8
00:01:52,190 --> 00:01:56,530
injuries to my neck and my back.
9
00:01:58,230 --> 00:02:01,470
I was unable to work and support my
family.
10
00:02:02,860 --> 00:02:08,440
All hope was gone until my wife
suggested I talk to a lawyer.
11
00:02:08,780 --> 00:02:09,919
So I did.
12
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,120
Now my future is bright.
13
00:02:14,780 --> 00:02:16,400
Thanks to this man here,
14
00:02:18,060 --> 00:02:19,240
Eugene Dobbs.
15
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:23,820
Thank you, Clayton.
16
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,220
Friend, are you, like Mr. Sadowski, a
victim of someone else's negligence?
17
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,080
Have you suffered bodily harm? Anger?
18
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:33,600
Lost wages?
19
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:36,660
Are bill collectors banging at your
door?
20
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,800
We at Wheeler and Dobbs know how you
feel.
21
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,560
And we are ready to help you get what
you deserve.
22
00:02:44,060 --> 00:02:47,840
Like the $2 million we got. Damn it,
Eugene, I told you we can't say $2
23
00:02:48,380 --> 00:02:54,400
Cut. Mr. Wheeler. We only got him $200
,000. He was awarded $2 million, Nolan.
24
00:02:54,500 --> 00:02:58,180
After the city appealed, he only got
$200 ,000. You don't like the way I do
25
00:02:58,180 --> 00:02:59,760
commercial. You do it.
26
00:03:00,140 --> 00:03:01,140
I can't.
27
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:04,960
You know I can't.
28
00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:06,960
Then butt out.
29
00:03:09,740 --> 00:03:12,000
Okay, folks, this will be a pickup.
30
00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:14,540
Ready? Roll them.
31
00:03:15,340 --> 00:03:17,120
And action.
32
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,080
We at Wheeler and Dobbs aren't just
attorneys.
33
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,300
We're your friends.
34
00:03:22,980 --> 00:03:26,080
In your time of need, we'll be there.
35
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,680
And we won't let you down.
36
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,500
Now remember, this is a pre -trial
settlement conference. It's not a
37
00:03:45,540 --> 00:03:50,340
You just sit there and relax while I
answer the judge's questions. In an
38
00:03:50,420 --> 00:03:53,720
I'll be taking you to lunch. So the
judge is going to decide whether I'm
39
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,000
to get all this money you're asking for?
40
00:03:55,420 --> 00:03:58,640
I'll tell him your side of the story.
Then the DeMont Company lawyer will tell
41
00:03:58,640 --> 00:03:59,760
him their side of the story.
42
00:04:00,180 --> 00:04:03,320
Then the judge will decide how much
money you get if you went to trial.
43
00:04:03,540 --> 00:04:07,860
And then DeMont's lawyer is going to
rush over to me and offer up a
44
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:09,840
Believe me.
45
00:04:10,050 --> 00:04:13,770
DeMont does not want to go to trial. You
mean this whole thing could be over
46
00:04:13,770 --> 00:04:16,750
soon? John, with any luck, by the end of
the day, you are going to be a
47
00:04:16,750 --> 00:04:19,209
millionaire several times over.
48
00:04:20,350 --> 00:04:22,190
Ah, there you are. Dr. McNeely.
49
00:04:22,410 --> 00:04:23,410
How you doing?
50
00:04:23,910 --> 00:04:28,910
Well, I've just re -examined your latest
x -rays, and I'm sorry to say that, in
51
00:04:28,910 --> 00:04:31,890
addition to everything else, you've
sustained a hairline fracture to your
52
00:04:31,890 --> 00:04:33,230
clavicle. Funny.
53
00:04:33,970 --> 00:04:35,470
Collarbone's the only part of me that
doesn't hurt.
54
00:04:36,110 --> 00:04:40,270
You're going to be at the conference
too, Doc? No, I can't. But I'll be here
55
00:04:40,270 --> 00:04:41,730
Eugene needs to confer with me.
56
00:04:42,270 --> 00:04:43,270
Good luck.
57
00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:44,350
Thanks a lot.
58
00:04:57,690 --> 00:04:59,650
Well, well, well, Dr. McNeely.
59
00:04:59,910 --> 00:05:02,310
Still chasing ambulances with Eugene,
Doc?
60
00:05:02,830 --> 00:05:04,150
Some things never change.
61
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,220
Am I correct in assuming that the
guardrail that gave way and caused Mr.
62
00:05:14,340 --> 00:05:17,720
Kramer's fall was inspected at the same
time as the ride it surrounded?
63
00:05:18,140 --> 00:05:19,140
Yes, sir, that is correct.
64
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,500
Excuse me, Your Honor.
65
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,560
That guardrail was supposed to be
inspected, but I have depositions from
66
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,860
employees that say that it wasn't. My
client cannot be blamed for the
67
00:05:28,860 --> 00:05:29,860
of state officials.
68
00:05:30,260 --> 00:05:35,380
Al DeMont spends thousands of dollars
every year advertising that his water
69
00:05:35,380 --> 00:05:39,300
is safe, and hardworking families with
innocent children believe him.
70
00:05:39,690 --> 00:05:43,470
And they spend millions at your park,
don't they, Mr. DeMott? Your Honor. All
71
00:05:43,470 --> 00:05:45,170
right, that's enough, Mr. Dobbs.
72
00:05:46,670 --> 00:05:51,250
Now, I see that your expert medical
witness is Dr.
73
00:05:51,730 --> 00:05:52,730
Eldon McNeely.
74
00:05:53,030 --> 00:05:54,030
Dr.
75
00:05:54,690 --> 00:05:58,730
McNeely is the distinguished holder of
the Fontmyer Chair in Orthopedics at
76
00:05:58,730 --> 00:05:59,730
Robertson Hospital.
77
00:05:59,790 --> 00:06:00,790
Yes, yes, I know.
78
00:06:01,030 --> 00:06:04,190
And you, Miss Radovich, intend to put
Dr.
79
00:06:04,470 --> 00:06:06,010
James Liu on the stand.
80
00:06:06,270 --> 00:06:10,070
Yes, sir. And his opinion of Mr.
Kramer's injury is radically different
81
00:06:10,070 --> 00:06:11,070
that of Dr. McNeely.
82
00:06:11,230 --> 00:06:12,230
Mm -hmm.
83
00:06:13,090 --> 00:06:15,730
Now, what's this about lost wages?
84
00:06:17,490 --> 00:06:20,330
My client was a college football coach,
Your Honor.
85
00:06:20,670 --> 00:06:24,410
Like the great Vince Lombardi, he was an
active physical man. Like Rockne,
86
00:06:24,490 --> 00:06:28,210
Parsegian, Lou Holtz, Eddie Robinson,
coaching was his life.
87
00:06:29,270 --> 00:06:34,950
But now, due to constant pain and agony,
this shell of a man... I get the idea,
88
00:06:35,050 --> 00:06:36,050
Mr. Dobbs.
89
00:06:36,140 --> 00:06:42,260
But since when does the coach of a state
junior college football team earn six
90
00:06:42,260 --> 00:06:43,400
million dollars?
91
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,060
That's potential, Your Honor. At the
time of my client's injury, he was being
92
00:06:48,060 --> 00:06:50,420
pursued by five major universities.
93
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:54,160
He would have accepted one of them, then
gone with the pros and made millions.
94
00:06:54,420 --> 00:06:55,420
You are lying.
95
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:01,100
Those schools were not pursuing him. He
was pursuing those schools. Your Honor.
96
00:07:02,090 --> 00:07:05,550
His client initiated those job
interviews because he was afraid he was
97
00:07:05,550 --> 00:07:06,369
be fired.
98
00:07:06,370 --> 00:07:10,830
You can't prove that. The hell I can't.
Is this true, Mr. Dobbs?
99
00:07:11,670 --> 00:07:12,670
Is what true?
100
00:07:13,170 --> 00:07:17,090
That your client initiated those
interviews and not vice versa?
101
00:07:19,550 --> 00:07:22,110
Mr. Dobbs, answer me.
102
00:07:25,690 --> 00:07:29,750
So Mr. Kramer made the first calls, but
they returned them.
103
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,240
Mr. Dobbs, this is reprehensible.
104
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,980
Once more, you've misrepresented the
facts.
105
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,860
I've no doubt that you were injured, Mr.
Kramer.
106
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,220
But no matter what your attorney has led
you to believe, your settlement will be
107
00:07:44,220 --> 00:07:47,800
modest. There'll be just enough money to
cover your medical bills.
108
00:07:49,940 --> 00:07:50,940
We're done here.
109
00:07:51,420 --> 00:07:52,420
Good day.
110
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,240
That's why we call this judge Tightwad
Artie.
111
00:08:01,660 --> 00:08:03,380
But he is not a jury.
112
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:05,600
Thank the Lord above.
113
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,380
Juries listen with their heart.
114
00:08:10,220 --> 00:08:11,220
What's your offer?
115
00:08:12,060 --> 00:08:13,180
Forget it, Dobbs.
116
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,480
Contrary to what you may think, juries
are very smart. And I want this one to
117
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,480
see you in action.
118
00:08:18,660 --> 00:08:22,180
Because when they hear how you blow
everything out of proportion, and they
119
00:08:22,180 --> 00:08:25,600
that trained seal of an M .D. out there
perform on the stand, they are going to
120
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:26,600
resent the hell out of you.
121
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,740
And your client will be very lucky to
walk away with half a cent.
122
00:08:31,460 --> 00:08:32,720
See you in court, gentlemen.
123
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:39,440
John, wait.
124
00:08:40,140 --> 00:08:41,140
John.
125
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:42,880
Come on.
126
00:08:44,340 --> 00:08:45,880
John, don't worry.
127
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,500
Everything's going to be okay. Okay?
128
00:08:48,900 --> 00:08:52,020
I heard what the hell she said in there.
You put me through all this garbage for
129
00:08:52,020 --> 00:08:55,640
nothing. What's going on? John, she's
wrong. Believe me.
130
00:09:01,740 --> 00:09:02,740
You know what I think?
131
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:05,080
You're a lying, thieving jerk.
132
00:09:05,780 --> 00:09:09,880
You said my family would be set for
life. And they will be, John. Just calm
133
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,760
down. Hey, hey, hey, what's going on?
134
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,940
The settlement conference wasn't
entirely successful, and John is just a
135
00:09:15,940 --> 00:09:16,960
upset, that's all.
136
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,480
It was in the bag. What went wrong? It
was the lost wages thing.
137
00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:23,920
We went over that. Didn't you say what I
told you to say? He lied to him, just
138
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:24,920
like he lied to me.
139
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:30,870
John. I didn't lie to you. You'll get
your money. The thing isn't over, not by
140
00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:34,990
long shot. My body is a wreck. My
career's ruined. And because you get
141
00:09:35,110 --> 00:09:37,510
my family's going to wind up with
nothing. John, look.
142
00:09:37,790 --> 00:09:40,570
We have a lot of options left.
143
00:09:41,570 --> 00:09:44,510
You come to my office tonight and we'll
talk, okay? Seven o 'clock?
144
00:09:45,470 --> 00:09:46,470
John.
145
00:09:49,070 --> 00:09:52,370
Nobody's going to wind up on welfare
here. I promise you.
146
00:09:52,870 --> 00:09:53,870
Okay?
147
00:09:59,060 --> 00:10:00,980
Okay. Damn it, you just... Oh, shut up.
148
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,460
Why can't you just do what I tell you to
do?
149
00:10:06,740 --> 00:10:07,840
Don't leave. No, don't leave.
150
00:10:51,660 --> 00:10:52,660
you
151
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:09,260
This year, you had an argument with
Eugene Dobbs yesterday afternoon.
152
00:12:09,660 --> 00:12:11,240
He made me think I'd make a fortune.
153
00:12:11,860 --> 00:12:14,280
But I'll be lucky to cover my medical
bills.
154
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:17,140
And police found the murder weapon in
your motel room.
155
00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:19,280
I don't know how it got there.
156
00:12:20,700 --> 00:12:26,140
The janitor at the office building said
that he saw a man fitting your
157
00:12:26,140 --> 00:12:31,020
description going into Eugene Dobbs'
office last night. No, I didn't go to
158
00:12:31,020 --> 00:12:34,710
office. He called the motel and told me
to meet him at a sushi place on
159
00:12:34,710 --> 00:12:36,330
Peachtree. But he never showed.
160
00:12:39,570 --> 00:12:42,270
I didn't kill him, Mr. Matlock. I swear.
161
00:12:43,110 --> 00:12:45,990
Well, I guess we know why he never
showed.
162
00:12:47,530 --> 00:12:49,250
Who else knew about this meeting?
163
00:12:49,590 --> 00:12:50,830
Everybody who heard us arguing.
164
00:12:51,630 --> 00:12:55,970
Nolan Wheeler, Dr. McNeely, Al DeMont.
They were all listening.
165
00:12:56,650 --> 00:12:57,690
No, that's a start.
166
00:12:59,330 --> 00:13:00,330
Is that Kane?
167
00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:04,100
Temporary? No.
168
00:13:04,620 --> 00:13:06,180
This is as good as I'll ever get.
169
00:13:09,660 --> 00:13:12,040
Well, I'll go bail you out.
170
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:13,980
How am I going to pay you?
171
00:13:16,940 --> 00:13:21,900
Well, a pro bono case every now and then
is good for the spirit.
172
00:13:23,180 --> 00:13:28,320
And besides, I can't let you go around
thinking all lawyers are like the late,
173
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,080
unlamented Eugene Dahl.
174
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,520
I'll ask. Come on in.
175
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,500
Have some coffee. There's an extra cup.
176
00:13:56,740 --> 00:13:58,300
But don't be offended if I leave.
177
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,560
Oh, you're in a rush?
178
00:14:01,140 --> 00:14:05,580
Yeah. I'm involved in a case dealing
with an ambulance -chasing lawyer.
179
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,460
Boy, those guys are all over, aren't
they? Yeah.
180
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:14,060
I'm surprised there wasn't one around
the other day when I got sideswiped.
181
00:14:14,380 --> 00:14:16,940
Yeah? Any damage? You get hurt?
182
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:18,420
No, it's nothing.
183
00:14:18,660 --> 00:14:20,440
Well, that's what these fellows do.
184
00:14:20,660 --> 00:14:24,220
Make something out of nothing,
especially a sideswipe case.
185
00:14:24,980 --> 00:14:28,280
Some get their clients thousands of
dollars.
186
00:14:29,340 --> 00:14:30,340
They can?
187
00:14:30,990 --> 00:14:31,990
Oh, yeah.
188
00:14:32,110 --> 00:14:37,470
I heard of one case like yours. This
lawyer got his client half a million
189
00:14:38,670 --> 00:14:39,850
Half a million?
190
00:14:40,110 --> 00:14:46,970
I wonder if maybe I shouldn't have had
my neck
191
00:14:46,970 --> 00:14:48,590
checked after it happened.
192
00:14:49,790 --> 00:14:50,790
Does it hurt?
193
00:14:51,070 --> 00:14:56,290
Well, they say that sometimes whiplash
doesn't show up for a few days after.
194
00:14:57,230 --> 00:15:01,130
Well, that's why you have to report
these accidents right away. If you wait
195
00:15:01,130 --> 00:15:02,330
long, you don't have a case.
196
00:15:05,050 --> 00:15:06,050
Yeah.
197
00:15:07,790 --> 00:15:08,930
I better go, then.
198
00:15:09,790 --> 00:15:10,790
Don't you want to talk?
199
00:15:13,010 --> 00:15:15,190
No, I'll see you later.
200
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,720
Mr. Dobbs did all right for himself,
didn't he?
201
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,220
Ever see any of his TV commercials?
202
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,320
Told himself like cornflakes. Eugene
Dobbs, your friend in need. Yeah, I've
203
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:49,700
him. I've seen him. Dad's up.
204
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,720
Yeah, his widow's in there now picking
up a few personal items.
205
00:15:52,940 --> 00:15:54,100
I guess she's pretty upset.
206
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:55,780
You could say that.
207
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:03,080
You clumsy moron.
208
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,280
Sorry. Sorry? You plus.
209
00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:07,060
This vase cost $2 ,000.
210
00:16:11,609 --> 00:16:13,590
Oh, Miss Dobbs, hi.
211
00:16:14,430 --> 00:16:17,450
I'm Ben Matlock. I'm a lawyer. Good.
Through the police department.
212
00:16:17,790 --> 00:16:19,490
These bozos destroyed my property.
213
00:16:19,850 --> 00:16:20,850
Oh.
214
00:16:21,030 --> 00:16:23,850
Mr. Dobbs made a lot of money, didn't
he? You could say that.
215
00:16:24,610 --> 00:16:27,490
Wheeler and Dobbs were the hottest team
in personal litigation.
216
00:16:28,150 --> 00:16:29,150
Well, they were.
217
00:16:29,230 --> 00:16:31,970
But Eugene was the whole show, if you
know what I mean.
218
00:16:32,430 --> 00:16:34,450
Last week he told me he was going to
dump Nolan.
219
00:16:35,850 --> 00:16:36,890
Did he say why?
220
00:16:37,630 --> 00:16:38,630
He didn't have to.
221
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,600
With you, it's like everything was about
money.
222
00:16:41,540 --> 00:16:45,400
Not that I have anything against money.
I can spend it with the best of them.
223
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,660
That's going to cost you, Einstein. That
is going to cost you.
224
00:17:05,980 --> 00:17:06,980
Your Honor.
225
00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:13,300
Dude. to the unforeseen termination of
the
226
00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:19,520
participation of co -counsel for the
plaintiff, Ms. Elaine Davison,
227
00:17:19,700 --> 00:17:25,460
we would ask the court to... You want a
continuance because Mr. Dobbs is dead,
228
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:26,560
right?
229
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,760
That would be correct, Your Honor, yes.
Now, this courtroom, 9 o 'clock, Friday
230
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,960
the 28th. The next time, just spit it
out, Mr. Wheeler.
231
00:17:36,260 --> 00:17:37,260
That's great.
232
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Mr. Wheeler?
233
00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:49,940
Hello, my name is Michelle Thomas.
234
00:17:50,140 --> 00:17:53,340
I work with Ben Matlock. Could I ask you
a few questions? Sure, but outside.
235
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:58,580
Courtrooms make you nervous?
236
00:17:59,820 --> 00:18:02,160
I break into a twit just driving past
the courthouse.
237
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,640
There. My heart finally stopped
pounding.
238
00:18:08,660 --> 00:18:10,280
What a handicap for a lawyer.
239
00:18:10,620 --> 00:18:11,820
I'm a damn good one, too.
240
00:18:12,250 --> 00:18:14,670
So long as you don't have to stand up
and speak in front of a bunch of
241
00:18:14,670 --> 00:18:16,010
strangers. Uh,
242
00:18:18,730 --> 00:18:19,730
let's walk.
243
00:18:21,450 --> 00:18:24,350
So that's why you teamed up with Eugene
Dobbs. He was your friend.
244
00:18:24,890 --> 00:18:26,990
He was a brilliant orator, a star.
245
00:18:27,510 --> 00:18:28,630
He lived for the spotlight.
246
00:18:29,250 --> 00:18:31,590
Unfortunately, he didn't have a brain in
his head. Oh?
247
00:18:31,970 --> 00:18:33,950
I was Edgar Bergen. He was Charlie
McCarthy.
248
00:18:34,150 --> 00:18:36,890
I'd tell him what to say, he'd say it in
court, and juries would applaud.
249
00:18:37,290 --> 00:18:39,950
Together, we were the perfect lawyer,
brains and blarney.
250
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,500
Then why was he thinking about leaving
the firm?
251
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:44,780
Uh, who told you that?
252
00:18:45,380 --> 00:18:46,380
His wife.
253
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,860
Some wife. More like a hood ornament.
254
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:53,960
Eugene got cocky.
255
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,180
Started thinking he didn't need me after
all.
256
00:18:56,420 --> 00:18:57,900
Like I said, he was stupid.
257
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,020
His leaving would have ruined your
business.
258
00:19:00,220 --> 00:19:02,980
Well, his murder wasn't exactly a shot
in the arm. But at least with him dead,
259
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,500
you get to collect on that million
-dollar insurance policy you took out on
260
00:19:06,500 --> 00:19:07,580
other, don't you?
261
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,720
Uh, I'm a suspect?
262
00:19:10,420 --> 00:19:13,140
Well, he did know he'd be having a
meeting in his office that night with
263
00:19:13,140 --> 00:19:14,140
Kramer.
264
00:19:14,260 --> 00:19:15,640
So what? I was at home.
265
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:17,640
Alone?
266
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:18,720
Yes.
267
00:19:20,340 --> 00:19:24,820
My stomach's killing me. I'm due in
court.
268
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,160
Where's my pills? Look, I didn't kill
him.
269
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:30,880
Hey, Nolan.
270
00:19:31,340 --> 00:19:32,340
Leave me alone.
271
00:19:32,380 --> 00:19:33,440
Hey, Nolan. Nolan.
272
00:19:34,220 --> 00:19:37,440
Get away from me. Hey, Nolan. I'll get
away from you. I don't want to talk to
273
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:38,440
you. I don't know you.
274
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:39,720
Look.
275
00:19:40,270 --> 00:19:42,930
Just don't call me again. I'm not going
to call you again. I'm your mom.
276
00:20:22,670 --> 00:20:25,950
And now you own it. I wouldn't mind
owning something like this.
277
00:20:26,210 --> 00:20:28,390
Yeah, nobody can carry me out. It's all
mine.
278
00:20:30,110 --> 00:20:34,950
I hear you've had quite a few personal
injury cases brought against you in the
279
00:20:34,950 --> 00:20:35,950
past couple of years.
280
00:20:36,210 --> 00:20:40,230
Oh, yeah. Anytime you have this amount
of people in a place like this, you're
281
00:20:40,230 --> 00:20:41,330
bound to have to back them.
282
00:20:42,010 --> 00:20:43,450
That's why they invented insurance.
283
00:20:43,790 --> 00:20:44,790
Yeah.
284
00:20:45,370 --> 00:20:49,590
Twelve. That's a lot. A lot. And all
brought by you jeaned off.
285
00:20:49,870 --> 00:20:50,870
Well, they were mostly...
286
00:20:51,710 --> 00:20:52,710
Nuisance cases.
287
00:20:53,890 --> 00:20:57,850
Well, it just cost me a lot of time and
not much money. Yeah, I did file a
288
00:20:57,850 --> 00:20:58,749
complaint.
289
00:20:58,750 --> 00:21:02,170
Well, nuisance or not, I bet your
insurance went up.
290
00:21:02,430 --> 00:21:03,430
It's getting lower.
291
00:21:03,910 --> 00:21:10,270
Is that why you filed that harassment
complaint against him at the State Bar
292
00:21:10,270 --> 00:21:13,250
Association? Well, I can see you're
better at doing your homework than I
293
00:21:13,250 --> 00:21:18,470
was. Yes, I did file a complaint against
him, and he filed a counter -complaint
294
00:21:18,470 --> 00:21:19,469
against me.
295
00:21:19,470 --> 00:21:20,750
We both got smart.
296
00:21:20,970 --> 00:21:21,970
and called it true.
297
00:21:22,150 --> 00:21:25,990
And we both agreed to back off until the
Kramer case was settled. We put it in
298
00:21:25,990 --> 00:21:26,990
writing.
299
00:21:33,430 --> 00:21:36,010
That's Peter the Penguin. He's bucking
for a raise.
300
00:21:36,290 --> 00:21:39,990
Listen, I got a meeting, so... One other
thing.
301
00:21:40,390 --> 00:21:41,550
The night Mr.
302
00:21:42,310 --> 00:21:44,630
Eugene was killed, you...
303
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:45,960
You remember where you were?
304
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,400
Oh, yeah. I was in my office. I was
trying to catch up on all the work that
305
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,220
didn't get to because of the settlement
period.
306
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,100
And no, nobody saw me. My heart was
closed.
307
00:21:56,660 --> 00:22:00,780
The pass I gave you is good
indefinitely, so come back any time.
308
00:22:00,980 --> 00:22:01,980
Well, thanks. I will.
309
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,920
best hot dog I've ever put in my mouth.
310
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,540
I thought you said to meet you at the
white water ride. I got hungry.
311
00:22:26,740 --> 00:22:31,100
I figured. I believe this is one of the
best hot dogs I've ever put in my mouth.
312
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,380
Are we going to talk about hot dogs all
afternoon?
313
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:58,460
I think I know how Eugene Dobbs gets so
many personal injury cases from here.
314
00:22:59,340 --> 00:23:05,300
How? Well, I think somebody who works
here for Al DeMont also works for Eugene
315
00:23:05,300 --> 00:23:06,300
Dobbs.
316
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:07,680
Any idea who?
317
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:14,640
No. But I saw a sign at the entrance
that said, Help Want.
318
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:48,920
Carol, what's your name?
319
00:23:50,100 --> 00:23:51,100
Elizabeth.
320
00:23:51,260 --> 00:23:52,600
Did you lose your mom and daddy?
321
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:54,840
No.
322
00:24:08,700 --> 00:24:10,100
Well, Lester, what happened?
323
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:14,920
Was I right or was I right?
324
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,320
That sign swiping I told you about?
325
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,340
I went to a doctor and he took an x -ray
of my neck.
326
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:21,600
Did he find anything?
327
00:24:21,780 --> 00:24:24,420
No. Whiplash doesn't show up on an x
-ray.
328
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,360
But he told me to wear this thing to be
on the safe side.
329
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:28,640
Was there any pain?
330
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,040
Yeah. And you know who's going to feel
the pain?
331
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,140
The guy that sideswiped me.
332
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,320
It's a good thing we exchanged license
numbers.
333
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,840
Well, if there's no pain, why go through
with it?
334
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,200
Why? Why?
335
00:24:41,620 --> 00:24:44,160
What if I have to wear this thing the
rest of my life?
336
00:24:44,740 --> 00:24:47,360
Well, it doesn't look...
337
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,520
Too bad. It kind of gives you an
aristocratic look.
338
00:24:52,140 --> 00:24:55,580
And think of the money you'll save on
ties.
339
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,400
Very funny.
340
00:24:57,620 --> 00:25:01,460
You could be the resident comedian at
the orthopedic hospital.
341
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,820
I'm just trying to say, if the doctor
didn't find anything and it doesn't
342
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,200
why not forget it? Because I want to
teach this guy a lesson.
343
00:25:11,140 --> 00:25:13,840
Sideswiping is a crime, and I'm going to
make him pay.
344
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,780
In fact, I'm on my way to look at some
sports cars.
345
00:25:17,500 --> 00:25:19,160
That's for after I get paid off.
346
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,280
You can get inside, Swipe. You can start
a collection.
347
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:23,720
Oh, you're a scream.
348
00:25:24,180 --> 00:25:25,760
Regular Bob Hopeless.
349
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:37,760
So you were working in the hallway
outside the offices of Wheeler and Dobbs
350
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,020
night? Yes, sir. I was vacuuming.
351
00:25:40,540 --> 00:25:41,540
What did you see?
352
00:25:42,700 --> 00:25:46,300
I saw that man right there get out of
the elevator and head towards their
353
00:25:46,300 --> 00:25:49,340
offices. But the records show that the
witness pointed to the defendant.
354
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:50,800
Do you recall what time it was?
355
00:25:51,060 --> 00:25:55,100
About 7. I vacuum the floors every night
between 6 .30 and 7.
356
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,820
You're positive the man you saw was the
defendant?
357
00:25:58,180 --> 00:26:01,520
He was walking with a cane and wearing a
red Baxter Bulldogs cap.
358
00:26:02,060 --> 00:26:03,920
I'm a Bulldogs fan myself.
359
00:26:05,540 --> 00:26:06,560
Nothing further, Your Honor.
360
00:26:08,660 --> 00:26:09,660
Mr. Matlock?
361
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:11,400
Yes.
362
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,640
Now, uh... Let's see.
363
00:26:17,140 --> 00:26:23,480
How far would you say you were from the
elevator when you saw this person?
364
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,600
About 30, 35 feet.
365
00:26:25,860 --> 00:26:26,839
Uh -huh.
366
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:31,800
And when he was walking to the offices
of Wheeler and Dobbs, was he walking
367
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:37,020
towards you or away from you? Away from
me. Uh -huh. Now, you were vacuuming the
368
00:26:37,020 --> 00:26:41,820
floor. That's right. One of those big
electric vacuum cleaners. Does the noise
369
00:26:41,820 --> 00:26:42,820
drive you crazy?
370
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,000
Yeah. Yeah.
371
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:45,540
So, uh...
372
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,100
So when you saw this person come out of
the elevator, it wasn't because you
373
00:26:50,100 --> 00:26:51,720
heard the elevator doors open.
374
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,560
No, no, I saw him out of the corner of
my eye. After he stepped out of the
375
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,180
elevator? Yeah. And after he turned his
back to you and headed to the law
376
00:26:59,180 --> 00:27:03,080
office? No, I thought it was Faith.
What, for a second, two?
377
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:04,319
Long enough.
378
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,420
Besides the cap, what was he wearing? I
don't remember. What color was his
379
00:27:07,420 --> 00:27:10,700
jacket? I don't remember. What color was
his cane? I don't know. Because you saw
380
00:27:10,700 --> 00:27:14,860
him only for a split second, right? All
I know is I saw his face long enough to
381
00:27:14,860 --> 00:27:16,240
be positive that that's him.
382
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,300
Liar! John. I didn't kill anyone. That's
enough.
383
00:27:19,540 --> 00:27:21,400
You couldn't have seen me because I
wasn't there.
384
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,740
Mr. Matlock, restrain your glider or
I'll have the bailiff remove him.
385
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:26,279
Sit down, John.
386
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,280
Yeah, but he's lying.
387
00:27:27,860 --> 00:27:29,280
John, sit down. That's enough.
388
00:27:47,660 --> 00:27:49,460
You think somebody paid off the janitor?
389
00:27:49,820 --> 00:27:54,040
No, he thinks he's telling the truth.
Human beings make lousy eyewitnesses.
390
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:55,560
Have you heard from Conrad?
391
00:27:56,100 --> 00:27:58,020
Oh, no. Would you check and see if he's
called?
392
00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,320
Sure. I'm late.
393
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:00,640
Doctor's appointment.
394
00:28:00,820 --> 00:28:02,780
Eldon McNeely had a cancellation.
395
00:29:42,830 --> 00:29:43,830
Okay, boys, let's go.
396
00:29:44,170 --> 00:29:45,170
Nice and easy.
397
00:29:46,370 --> 00:29:48,110
Mark, I'll see you over there.
398
00:29:48,690 --> 00:29:49,690
Take him away.
399
00:29:50,050 --> 00:29:51,250
All right, boys, we'll see you over
there.
400
00:29:51,530 --> 00:29:52,530
Take care of it, Joe.
401
00:29:52,850 --> 00:29:54,510
Okay, everybody, the show's over.
402
00:29:55,430 --> 00:29:57,070
Everybody be safe. Let's break it up.
403
00:30:02,150 --> 00:30:03,150
Yeah,
404
00:30:07,010 --> 00:30:08,010
Nolan. Yeah.
405
00:30:09,430 --> 00:30:11,510
Ethnic Burnett, look, I got a live one
for you.
406
00:30:11,950 --> 00:30:14,010
Yeah, no, I know what you said, but this
was a lock.
407
00:30:14,950 --> 00:30:16,310
Hey, yeah, fine.
408
00:30:17,210 --> 00:30:18,210
What, I'm fired?
409
00:30:19,070 --> 00:30:20,650
Well, it's your loss, Mr. Wheeler.
410
00:30:22,450 --> 00:30:23,450
Weasel?
411
00:30:24,530 --> 00:30:25,710
Nolan Wheeler, the attorney?
412
00:30:26,590 --> 00:30:28,090
Yeah, what's it to you, frog breath?
413
00:30:28,510 --> 00:30:30,930
So you're the inside man for Wheeler and
Dow?
414
00:30:32,750 --> 00:30:34,130
What are you going to do, get me fired?
415
00:30:35,550 --> 00:30:37,270
Matt, give your answer my question.
416
00:31:38,410 --> 00:31:39,410
What's up?
417
00:31:39,590 --> 00:31:43,510
When I went through DeMond's office, I
found an itemized credit card bill from
418
00:31:43,510 --> 00:31:44,329
last month.
419
00:31:44,330 --> 00:31:47,410
He lied about the evening of the murder.
He wasn't in his office. He was in that
420
00:31:47,410 --> 00:31:50,090
hotel. If he had an alibi, why'd he lie?
421
00:31:50,410 --> 00:31:53,570
Well, the desk clerk says he's been
coming here every week for two years.
422
00:31:56,750 --> 00:31:57,750
With her.
423
00:32:06,250 --> 00:32:07,250
You're good.
424
00:32:07,690 --> 00:32:08,690
I know.
425
00:32:12,050 --> 00:32:14,910
Excuse me.
426
00:32:20,090 --> 00:32:25,550
I'm glad I caught you two before you,
you know, knock him in.
427
00:32:26,210 --> 00:32:27,670
Al. It's all right, honey.
428
00:32:36,430 --> 00:32:37,490
So how'd you find out?
429
00:32:38,230 --> 00:32:40,450
How did Eugene Dobbs find out?
430
00:32:40,710 --> 00:32:41,850
Says Eugene knew.
431
00:32:42,090 --> 00:32:43,190
Oh, come on.
432
00:32:44,030 --> 00:32:48,170
You've been carrying on for two years.
He's been hauling you into court for two
433
00:32:48,170 --> 00:32:49,470
years. It stands to reason.
434
00:32:49,670 --> 00:32:53,570
But I was so careful, Mr. Matlock. I
never wanted to hurt Eugene.
435
00:32:55,330 --> 00:32:56,650
You've been seeing Mr.
436
00:32:56,870 --> 00:32:58,470
DuMont here for more than two years.
437
00:32:58,930 --> 00:33:00,770
Why didn't you just dump Mr.
438
00:33:00,990 --> 00:33:02,610
Dobbs and marry Mr. DuMont?
439
00:33:03,770 --> 00:33:05,570
I would have, but...
440
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,620
Well, Eugene was very dependent on me.
441
00:33:10,580 --> 00:33:16,540
Out in the world, he was a powerful,
almost ruthless man. But with me, he was
442
00:33:16,540 --> 00:33:17,800
just an innocent little boy.
443
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:19,480
Oh,
444
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,860
I guess his money didn't have anything
to do with it.
445
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:24,240
That's ridiculous.
446
00:33:25,180 --> 00:33:26,720
Amanda is a sensitive woman.
447
00:33:27,300 --> 00:33:28,500
Well, I can see that.
448
00:33:31,460 --> 00:33:32,760
Didn't that ever occur to you?
449
00:33:33,150 --> 00:33:36,350
That your husband knew about your affair
and that's why he was suing him every
450
00:33:36,350 --> 00:33:37,350
20 minutes?
451
00:33:37,470 --> 00:33:41,450
Not to mention if the police knew about
your relationship, it'd make a wonderful
452
00:33:41,450 --> 00:33:42,450
motive for murder.
453
00:33:43,350 --> 00:33:44,350
Oh, hell.
454
00:33:49,950 --> 00:33:52,170
Oh, you were both here that night, Mr.
Matlock.
455
00:33:54,310 --> 00:33:55,890
And she can vouch for it.
456
00:33:56,470 --> 00:34:00,370
She's the hotel masseuse, my weekly
present to Amanda.
457
00:34:00,970 --> 00:34:04,270
The poor thing was so overwrought with
the need to deceive her husband that...
458
00:34:04,270 --> 00:34:07,750
Well, massage is a great tension
reliever.
459
00:34:08,570 --> 00:34:11,270
She got a massage the night her husband
died?
460
00:34:11,710 --> 00:34:12,710
Yes, we both did.
461
00:34:12,810 --> 00:34:13,810
Excuse me.
462
00:34:14,550 --> 00:34:19,130
Do you keep a record of the massages you
give? Of course.
463
00:34:19,429 --> 00:34:22,449
Did you give these two people a massage
the night of the second?
464
00:34:26,810 --> 00:34:27,810
Yes, I did.
465
00:34:28,199 --> 00:34:31,239
Two massages, 6 .30 to 8 .30, Mr. DeMont
and guest.
466
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,159
Now, if you'll excuse us.
467
00:34:37,460 --> 00:34:38,580
Any more questions?
468
00:34:49,739 --> 00:34:50,739
Dead end?
469
00:34:51,420 --> 00:34:52,679
Not at all, Conrad.
470
00:34:53,260 --> 00:34:54,260
Not at all.
471
00:35:03,820 --> 00:35:06,340
You're not going to believe this, Mr.
Matlock. I was at home working out with
472
00:35:06,340 --> 00:35:07,340
weights when it hit me.
473
00:35:07,700 --> 00:35:08,700
Your weights?
474
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:13,080
No, my alibi. The night Eugene was
murdered, I was on the phone with my
475
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,200
A full hour.
476
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:15,940
I'm not a calm person.
477
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:18,080
Ask him.
478
00:35:21,340 --> 00:35:22,340
Don't you want to know his name?
479
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:24,320
No, I don't need.
480
00:35:24,620 --> 00:35:25,880
I am a calm person.
481
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:27,940
But he's proof I didn't murder Eugene.
482
00:35:28,900 --> 00:35:29,839
Yeah, I know.
483
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:31,200
Then why'd you ask me to come down here?
484
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,100
I want to take another look around the
office.
485
00:35:33,770 --> 00:35:37,810
Could you pull the file on what he had
going on Aldemont? Sure.
486
00:35:42,630 --> 00:35:43,630
Oh,
487
00:35:45,450 --> 00:35:47,630
looks like he had just gotten a present.
488
00:35:48,170 --> 00:35:51,550
From one of his clients I remember
seeing in his mailbox.
489
00:35:52,750 --> 00:35:54,910
Maybe it was this fancy pen set.
490
00:35:56,010 --> 00:35:57,010
Could be.
491
00:35:57,390 --> 00:35:59,310
Oh, fountain pen.
492
00:36:00,170 --> 00:36:02,150
I haven't used one of these in years.
493
00:36:02,860 --> 00:36:04,160
I hear they're coming back.
494
00:36:04,980 --> 00:36:06,380
Everything comes back.
495
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,320
I saved my neighborhood jacket.
496
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,000
Signature looks like something off the
Declaration of Independence.
497
00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:17,240
Look at that.
498
00:36:17,860 --> 00:36:18,860
Well.
499
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:22,760
Well.
500
00:36:23,260 --> 00:36:24,760
Way we're right on top.
501
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,040
Eugene Dobbs.
502
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,040
Agreed.
503
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,310
Stop. All lawsuits against Albert?
504
00:36:33,930 --> 00:36:34,930
Come on.
505
00:36:44,010 --> 00:36:45,250
I love you, Dagger.
506
00:36:46,510 --> 00:36:48,010
I love you, Dagger.
507
00:36:51,990 --> 00:36:57,710
Eugene Dobbs has brought suit against
you and your water park 12 times in the
508
00:36:57,710 --> 00:36:59,030
past two years. Is that correct?
509
00:36:59,490 --> 00:37:00,490
Yes, he has.
510
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,480
And how much money has your insurance
company paid out, approximately?
511
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,140
Three million dollars or so.
512
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,840
Boy, I bet your premiums have gone sky
high.
513
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:11,440
Yes.
514
00:37:11,720 --> 00:37:15,220
Any more suits and you'd have been in a
lot of trouble, wouldn't you? Which is
515
00:37:15,220 --> 00:37:19,060
why I filed a complaint against him with
the State Bar Association, and he
516
00:37:19,060 --> 00:37:21,760
eventually agreed to drop all cases
pending.
517
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,760
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, and we'll get
into that in a minute. Would you tell
518
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,740
the court why he sued you so often?
519
00:37:30,700 --> 00:37:34,120
Well, he liked collecting big
contingency fees. He was greedy.
520
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,100
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
521
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:38,480
Oh.
522
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:44,720
You've been having an affair with his
wife for the past two years, haven't
523
00:37:44,940 --> 00:37:45,960
Objection. Relevancy.
524
00:37:46,500 --> 00:37:47,840
Relevancy? Come on.
525
00:37:48,900 --> 00:37:52,880
Man has an affair with a man's wife.
That man, that husband's liable to get
526
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:53,880
ticked off.
527
00:37:53,980 --> 00:37:55,040
Mr. Matlock.
528
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,620
Well, Your Honor, it's obvious it's
relevant. May I continue?
529
00:38:00,780 --> 00:38:03,660
One day, you're going to get in a lot of
trouble.
530
00:38:05,100 --> 00:38:06,100
Go ahead.
531
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:10,280
So?
532
00:38:12,860 --> 00:38:13,860
Yes, it's true.
533
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,820
So, how many nights did you meet her a
week?
534
00:38:18,300 --> 00:38:20,400
Once. Oh, careful.
535
00:38:21,300 --> 00:38:22,800
What night did you meet her?
536
00:38:23,700 --> 00:38:25,280
Wednesdays. Why Wednesdays?
537
00:38:26,540 --> 00:38:28,920
That was the night Eugene played
racquetball. Uh -huh.
538
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:33,440
And were you with her the night he was
murdered? Yes. But that was a Tuesday.
539
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:39,800
Well, earlier in the day, I'd heard Mr.
Dobbs tell your client, Mr. Kramer, to
540
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,380
meet him in his office that night, so I
called Amanda.
541
00:38:42,780 --> 00:38:46,420
Oh, so you moved your rendezvous up one
night.
542
00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:47,720
Correct.
543
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,520
Did you both get massages?
544
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:54,920
Yes, we did.
545
00:38:55,720 --> 00:38:57,840
So, let's see, the masseuse.
546
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:05,140
Was in the suite from 6 .30 to 8
547
00:39:05,140 --> 00:39:06,520
.30. Is that right?
548
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,900
That's correct. Each massage takes an
hour?
549
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,480
Yes. Who went first?
550
00:39:12,620 --> 00:39:13,820
Amanda. Amanda.
551
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:20,920
So while the masseuse was giving Amanda
her massage, you waited in the other
552
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,940
room and then vice versa? Correct.
553
00:39:23,240 --> 00:39:26,580
You know what that means? That means
that while...
554
00:39:27,190 --> 00:39:30,750
Amanda was getting her massage between 6
.30 and 7 .30.
555
00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:36,210
You could have left the hotel, driven to
Mr. Dobbs' office, shot him, driven
556
00:39:36,210 --> 00:39:39,410
back in plenty of time for your massage,
and no one would have analyzed it,
557
00:39:39,490 --> 00:39:43,230
right? I did no such thing. I'm afraid
that's exactly what you did.
558
00:39:43,690 --> 00:39:45,210
You set the whole thing up.
559
00:39:45,610 --> 00:39:51,430
You called my client, left a message at
his motel, supposedly from Eugene Dobbs,
560
00:39:51,470 --> 00:39:56,510
telling him to meet at a sushi bar
instead of his office. I did not.
561
00:39:56,830 --> 00:40:01,630
And then you selected a cane from the
room at your park where you keep your
562
00:40:01,630 --> 00:40:08,310
medical supplies and put on a Baxter
University red bulldog cap and jacket so
563
00:40:08,310 --> 00:40:10,770
anybody saw you, they'd think you were
John Kramer.
564
00:40:11,010 --> 00:40:16,650
And knowing full well that the masseuse
and Amanda would give you any alibi you
565
00:40:16,650 --> 00:40:21,050
needed. I signed an agreement to end the
lawsuit.
566
00:40:22,470 --> 00:40:24,630
I had no reason to kill him.
567
00:40:25,450 --> 00:40:29,940
None. Your Honor, I object to this line
of questioning. Where's the proof? Right
568
00:40:29,940 --> 00:40:32,660
here, right here, right here, right
here.
569
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:39,700
I'd like to submit as defense exhibit A
this agreement
570
00:40:39,700 --> 00:40:45,540
that the witness was just referring to
that was taken from Mr. Dobbs' office
571
00:40:45,540 --> 00:40:52,240
last night, and this pin set, which was
also taken from his office last night,
572
00:40:52,260 --> 00:40:54,960
as defense exhibit B.
573
00:40:56,300 --> 00:40:57,780
Go ahead. Go ahead.
574
00:40:58,780 --> 00:41:05,700
Now, this waiver, in essence, is
575
00:41:05,700 --> 00:41:12,300
an agreement in writing that you and Mr.
Dobbs agreed to stop
576
00:41:12,300 --> 00:41:17,460
all lawsuits against each other. And it
was signed by you on the 14th of last
577
00:41:17,460 --> 00:41:20,760
month, one week before he was killed.
That's what I've been telling you.
578
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:22,940
He didn't sign it. Why?
579
00:41:23,340 --> 00:41:28,280
Well, he agreed to. That's why I sent it
to him. Eugene Dobbs didn't sign it and
580
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,440
never intended to. You are wrong.
581
00:41:31,860 --> 00:41:35,720
Dobbs and I had an agreement to put an
end to the bad blood between us.
582
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,680
Now, my lawyer drew up that form. I
signed it.
583
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:45,540
Then we sent it to him for his
signature. I agree that you wanted a
584
00:41:45,540 --> 00:41:48,620
agree that your lawyer made up this
waiver.
585
00:41:51,210 --> 00:41:55,130
But you never signed it before it was
mailed.
586
00:41:56,070 --> 00:41:59,370
Now, here's what I'd like you to do.
587
00:42:01,190 --> 00:42:07,990
I'd like you to write your name on this
blank piece of paper, just
588
00:42:07,990 --> 00:42:09,930
like you did on this waiver.
589
00:42:10,190 --> 00:42:12,890
First, with this ballpoint pen.
590
00:42:14,350 --> 00:42:15,350
Go ahead.
591
00:42:15,510 --> 00:42:16,510
Go ahead.
592
00:42:24,490 --> 00:42:28,890
Okay, now with this fountain pen that I
bought in the drugstore.
593
00:42:29,670 --> 00:42:30,670
Okay.
594
00:42:37,070 --> 00:42:43,530
Okay, fine. Now, now with the pen the
police took
595
00:42:43,530 --> 00:42:46,090
from Mr. Dobbs' office.
596
00:42:47,250 --> 00:42:48,250
Go ahead.
597
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,440
What a difference a pen makes.
598
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:15,100
You see, the ballpoint leaves a little
thin line, yeah?
599
00:43:15,720 --> 00:43:20,840
And the fountain pen leaves a kind of
thick, wide mark.
600
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,540
But the pen the police took from Mr.
Dobbs' office, look at that.
601
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,600
Looks almost like an artist drew your
signature.
602
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,400
That's because it has such a...
603
00:43:34,830 --> 00:43:38,490
A good tip, almost like those that the
calligraphers use.
604
00:43:39,030 --> 00:43:45,730
Real distinctive looking. It's so
distinctive that it wouldn't take an
605
00:43:45,730 --> 00:43:51,150
recognize that that pen is what you
signed that waiver with.
606
00:43:52,750 --> 00:43:58,130
And what's more, Mr. Dobbs' partner, Mr.
Wheeler, and his secretary are ready to
607
00:43:58,130 --> 00:44:02,970
testify that he received this pen as a
gift that day, just ours.
608
00:44:03,740 --> 00:44:04,860
before he was murdered.
609
00:44:06,240 --> 00:44:10,220
You knew in your heart that he would
never sign this waiver.
610
00:44:11,220 --> 00:44:17,780
So you killed him to stop the lawsuits
and to get on with your life with his
611
00:44:17,780 --> 00:44:18,780
wife.
612
00:44:19,180 --> 00:44:23,480
You saw this unsigned waiver on his desk
after you shot him, didn't you?
613
00:44:24,340 --> 00:44:30,100
So you signed it, dated it, filed it,
knowing the police would find it and
614
00:44:30,100 --> 00:44:31,460
you had no reason to kill him.
615
00:44:32,300 --> 00:44:38,460
Then you planted the gun in John
Kramer's room, knowing the police would
616
00:44:38,460 --> 00:44:44,180
and think he had done it. What you
didn't know was the only two people who
617
00:44:44,180 --> 00:44:50,760
access to this pen that you signed the
waiver with was Mr. Dobbs and
618
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,200
the person who killed him.
619
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,160
That's all. Thank you, Your Honor.
620
00:45:08,720 --> 00:45:10,140
Hey, Les, come on in.
621
00:45:11,260 --> 00:45:13,880
Where are you going?
622
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,320
Where have you been? I haven't seen you.
I was going for a walk.
623
00:45:17,540 --> 00:45:18,580
Any other questions?
624
00:45:19,260 --> 00:45:23,120
Well, are you all right? I see you're
not wearing the neck brace.
625
00:45:23,340 --> 00:45:24,980
What happened with that case?
626
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:26,480
Nothing. Nothing happened.
627
00:45:26,740 --> 00:45:29,000
You didn't collect anything? I mean, I
thought.
628
00:45:29,300 --> 00:45:30,300
Well, you thought wrong.
629
00:45:30,500 --> 00:45:32,080
I didn't collect. He collected.
630
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:33,900
The guy who sideswiped you?
631
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:35,160
That's right.
632
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:38,000
He claimed I pulled into traffic without
signaling.
633
00:45:38,490 --> 00:45:42,490
Huh? How do you like that for justice in
this land of the free? Well, now
634
00:45:42,490 --> 00:45:48,270
that... The guy who did the sideswiping
gets the payoff, and the guy who gets
635
00:45:48,270 --> 00:45:50,470
sideswiped gets it in the rear.
636
00:45:50,750 --> 00:45:54,310
Well, now, did you... The little guy
hasn't got a chance, so he shouldn't
637
00:45:54,310 --> 00:45:59,510
try. You can't fight City Hall, not if
you're a little guy, because you can't
638
00:45:59,510 --> 00:46:03,970
win. The cards are stacked against you,
and you are dead in the water.
639
00:46:04,290 --> 00:46:06,530
You're a loser because you're a little
guy.
640
00:46:07,290 --> 00:46:08,450
You might as well quit.
641
00:46:08,710 --> 00:46:09,710
You can't win.
