All language subtitles for Bull s01e02-mac

I'm Dr. Jason Bull. I'm not a lawyer.

I'm an expert in
what's called trial science.

I study the jury's behavioral patterns.

I know what they're thinking
before they do.

Everything my team learns
gets plugged into a matrix,

which allows us to assemble
a shadow jury

that is scary in its
predictive efficiency.

The verdict you get depends on me.

And that's no bull.

Don't tell me plane
crashes are bad luck.

You think that Malaysia
flight just disappeared?

Statistically, flying is still
the safest way to travel.

It's a business, isn't it?

They need to be held accountable.

You have to trust the pilot, but...

it's a leap of faith.

You get on a plane
without a second thought.

But you have no idea who's flying it.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we'll be starting
our descent into Albany

in just a few moments.

Flight attendants will be
coming through the cabin

to pick up any last-minute trash items.

As a reminder, we're entering
some rough air,

so please remain in your seats
with seatbelts fastened.

Ma'am.

You really need to take your seat.

I'm so sorry.

This needs to be up, sweetie.

It's a simple question, Mr. Stowman.

In the world history of

stupid questions, that is
the stupidest question.

Our client just torpedoed

jurors two and eight.

12 thinks he's a rebel.

Lifelong fan, but I...

- Wanker.
- There goes 12.

No further questions.

This is after three
days of witness prep.

We've seen worse. Maybe once.

This is getting very tiresome, Dr. Bull.

Hey, hey.

I totally get it. You had a monster hit,

and some one-hit wonder
comes out of the woodwork

and says you stole the hook to his song?

- It's your song.
- That's right.

And it hurts, Dr. Bull.

It hurts.

I know it hurts.

And that's why we're gonna prove

that it took you ten years
to write this song.

And that it comes...

from your soul.

I know it's about

the collapse of your first marriage.

And I'm sorry.

But you see these people?

They're the jury.

They're normal, everyday
folks who come home one day,

open their mail, and they
have a jury summons.

They're like my fans?

That's exactly what they are.

They're the same people who throw

panties on stage and cheer for you.

And you got to see them like that.

You got to talk to them like that.

Bull?

Rock on.

- Go get 'em.
- Bull.

All right. Sir
Vincent needs a fresh jury.

- Thank you guys very much.
- Bull.

In the storm, Essence
Airlines Flight 1372

went down approximately
three miles from Albany Airport.

As you can see from the
wreckage behind me,

all 62 passengers are presumed dead.

The president of Essence
Airlines is on the line.

Call back.

Hamilton-Sena and the usual
airline litigation firms

are calling to sign us up.

Crash is less than an hour
old, and the vultures

- are already circling, huh?
- Missing the runway

does seem to inspire lawsuits.

Sorry, I'm still the new guy, but...

you handled aviation suits before?

Every crash in the last ten years.

And, uh, Bull's a pilot.

Maybe it's because I'm a pilot.

Just spoke with a former
colleague from the FBI.

- Was it...?
- Wasn't terrorism.

Tried to land in a
storm with wind shear.

A shocking new development,
a miracle perhaps.

The nose cone of the plane

was severed from the
fuselage upon impact.

Sources tell us that one of the pilots

was pulled from the cockpit alive.

Never heard of a pilot
surviving a crash.

On a crash like this.

Before we sign any client...
Victim or airline...

We're gonna talk to this pilot.

Essence Airlines and
supporting industries

have all been named in a
separate wrongful death filing.

The pilot is also being sued.

There are security
concerns, because of death threats.

What's the pilot's status?

Thank you. That's all for today.

If you needed any convincing
lawyers are overpaid,

the firm owns 18 floors of
prime New York real estate.

Best behavior, Dr. Bull.

It's a pleasure to meet you,

- Capt...
- Captain Mathison.

I'm glad you fully recovered.

Dr. Bull, thank you.

I can't say the last
four months have been easy,

but I'm here.

Oscar Weber.

- I'm her attorney.
- Oh!

Gosh, yeah. I've heard
so much about you, Oscar.

Thanks for taking an interest
in this case, Dr. Bull.

Not sure there's a need
here for what you do.

Getting the truth?

Winning?

We may not even take this case to trial.

Captain Mathison here has been charged

with gross negligence.

If she were to lose in court,

she may be facing criminal charges.

Dr. Bull, how did you know

I was Captain Mathison and not him?

Well, you don't bounce when you walk.

So clearly you're former military,

and you're wearing aviator sunglasses,

so I figured... pilot.

Plus, one look at Oscar,
and... there's no way he's a pilot.

All right, let's go hear
this flight recording.

Passing outer marker, ILS

approach 1-6, good to land.

Radar contact, cleared to land
runway 1-6. Ceiling 2-0-0.

Visibility one-quarter mile,
wind one-niner-zero,

- variable 25 gust...
- Tower Albany to Flight 213...

Wind shear. Wind shear.

Wind shear, loss 20 knots.

Cross-control 0500.

- Can't... What are you doing?
- Throttle's up!

On the go... got to take it around!

- Full power, full power...
- That's not protocol.

Clean it up, full power!

Terrain... Pull up. Terrain... pull up.

Five more seconds! Brace! Brace!

Tower Albany, I've lost
them off-screen.

You need a minute?

I'm okay.

Sounds like you did the best
you could in a hell of a storm.

I considered flying
on to Boston early on,

but the storm was worse there, so...

We started our descent, and...

we hit a massive wind shear.

The challenge is gonna
be the NTSB report.

It says...

Captain Mathison failed
to follow emergency protocol

and lost control of the plane.

The NTSB says

80% of crashes are caused
by pilot error.

It's not exactly a fair fight

when the pilots usually aren't
around to defend themselves.

The flight recorder backs up the report.

A jury is going to be
inclined to believe it.

Unless someone bothers to give them

a credible alternative explanation.

Her own copilot questioned her decision.

And you can read the mind of a dead man?

Good for you, Oscar.

Do you think you lost control?

I don't remember.

I wish I could tell you
why I did what I did that day,

but it just...

To my point,

the plaintiffs are gonna
find that very convenient.

She had six broken ribs.

And a severe concussion.

Memory loss does happen
with head trauma.

You were in the military?

I flew 139 sorties over Iraq.

Got over 12,000 flight hours.

So what's the last thing
you do remember?

The wind shear alarm.

Then I woke up in the hospital.

They told me everyone on the flight...

And there were no survivors.

And you feel responsible.

My plane went down and I lost 62 souls.

Of course I feel responsible.

I am responsible.

Taylor, no one wants to see you

endure a long, difficult trial.

Let me work with the airlines.

We can hash out a settlement
for these families.

Lord knows

what a jury is going to come back with.

We'll know.

Excuse me?

We'll know what a jury's
gonna come back with.

We'll know because that's what we do.

That's what trial science is.

And something to remember, Mr. Weber.

Just because Taylor feels responsible

doesn't mean she's to blame.

Captain Mathison, I'd
like to take your case.

Huh. Okay, s-so what do we do next?

My team and I go to work.

I didn't sleep for a week
after that plane went down.

I was lead mechanic
on the gate that day.

Couldn't help but wonder
if I'd missed something.

How you sleeping now?

Eight hours a night.

Look, I did all my preflight checks.

The NTSB was all up in here
and they still cleared my crew.

The plane wasn't ten years old.

There was barely a grease
spot on the repair log.

So it was okay to fly.

Waxed and ready to go.

Well, that report said that the pilots

did their own inspection before takeoff.

- Why is that?
- They're required to do a walk-around.

But it wasn't both of them that
day, it was just the copilot.

Is that standard procedure?

It's always the copilot.

She did her walk-around
like she was supposed to.

What do you... what do you mean "she"?

There are lady copilots.

Well, the lady wasn't
the copilot on that flight.

She was the captain.

I mean...

Damn.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

have you reached a verdict?

Guilty of gross negligence.

Verdict.

- Guilty.
- Guilty.

We've questioned all of our mock jurors,

and they've all found
Captain Mathison guilty.

Let me work on her image.

Maybe we're sending the wrong message.

I have some ideas that could
balance her military edge.

Worth a shot. We varied our
emphasis on her military record,

her stellar pilot rating,
nothing's changed the outcome.

Mr. Foreman, have you reached a verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

In the case of
Berman et al. v. Mathison,

we find the defendant not guilty.

Not guilty? That's amazing.

How'd he do that?

It is amazing.

All we had to do was

adjust one basic
assumption about the case.

- Which one?
- Meet our client,

Captain Taylor Mathison.

Uh, ladies and gentlemen,

all this case needed was a man's touch.

Sorry. I'm just the messenger.

Not the misogynist.

So, juries are finding her guilty

- because she's a woman.
- But the data shows

that when it comes to female pilots,

there is a clear gender bias.

Yeah, but it's not 1977.

There are women in power everywhere.

Well, it's subconscious.

Things people aren't even aware of,

like getting the door for a woman.

Benny's always been chivalrous.

I don't get it.

Is it really difficult to open a door?

It's back to where women
wore farthingales.

Farthingales.

What's a farthingale?

It's basically like
wearing an upside-down umbrella.

All right, my point is we have to

dial gender bias into Taylor's defense.

- Which is?
- Which is...

...an unavoidable wall of wind

tragically brought down Flight 1372,

and not even the skills of
a great pilot could save them.

Okay. All right, I'm gonna
play devil's advocate.

How do we prove she didn't
lose control of the plane

if she can't even
remember what happened?

Start with the flight recorder.

Yeah, about that.

You're aware that it only
covers the last 30 minutes

before the crash?

My phone holds

1,000 hours of music, but a black box

taps out halfway through
a Wayne Newton album?

I tap out halfway
through a Wayne Newton album.

Black box is only a piece of the puzzle.

Okay, Danny, I want a play-by-play

in the 24 hours of Taylor's life

before the crash.

And, Cable,

focus on the flight itself.

Fill in the blanks.

Danke schoen.

That's a Wayne Newton reference

for your benefit, Chunk.

Cute kids.

I take it you and your
copilot were close.

Yeah.

Ken and I were best friends.

Mary and the kids are like family to me.

They miss their father.

It's hard for them to understand

why I came home and he didn't.

And Mary's mad at me.

Been sitting here over an hour,

and she's barely said a word.

I don't know, sometimes I think she...

blames me for Ken's death.

Or maybe I'm just a reminder

of what happened.

You know, those families,
they act like I don't care

about the victims, but...

I think about those people every day.

The void they left.

The futures they don't get to have.

I just keep asking myself: did I panic?

You know, did I, did I,
did I take a maneuver

that was too risky?

Taylor, something tells me you didn't.

Women drivers.

We've all heard the expression.

Maybe even said it in
the heat of the moment,

even though female drivers have
a higher safety record than men.

Care to watch the mock trial?

No, thanks.

I'm, uh, looking for my client.

You know, he really should be talking

about her record as an Air Force pilot.

He will, but first we need
to call out the bias.

Once people are made
aware, they tend to compensate.

You did one mock trial and determined
that the whole world

has it in for female pilots?

We did five.

And it's not a conspiracy.

Implicit bias literally means
you don't know it's there.

So, you strike all the male jurors?

No, because women

display as much gender bias as men do.

Hmm.

Can you scare me up a cup of coffee?

No, it's fine.

I was just about to grab myself a cup.

Okay, great.

Look, I know Dr. Bull has

three PhDs in
psychology, but he's not an attorney.

And there are so many unknowns
to overcome at trial.

We're just getting started.

By the end of this process, we
will know which types of jurors

we want and which to exclude.

All I know is, if Taylor is smart,

she will settle with the plaintiffs

and make this whole thing go away.

Is a decorated Air Force fighter pilot,

who flew 139 sorties over Iraq.

Where's the douche?

Looking for Taylor.

Did you spit in this?

No.

But don't drink it.

You're in the spotlight

the minute you walk into the courtroom.

Dr. Bull says I need to look
strong, but not aggressive,

confident, but not arrogant.

Well, blue conveys confidence.

And navy adds a sense of remorse.

- I like your style.
- Thanks.

How did you end up here?

I arrived via Vogue magazine.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

Weren't you a
defensive back for Georgia?

Well, I was that, too,
before I was this.

I knew it.

You almost won the Heisman.

Weren't you gonna go pro?

Draft didn't work out too well for me.

- Why isn't she in her uniform?
- Oh, we can do that,

if you want to make this
look like a military tribunal.

In court, we want her
to look like a human being,

not a pilot.

Mr. Weber, I heard
you were in the office.

Taylor, I know Dr. Bull
has convinced you

that he has some sort of magic formula

that will make a jury see past
the facts and exonerate you.

Chunk,

would you give us a second?

And, uh,

- tell Benny I need to see him.
- Mm-hmm.

While Dr. Bull has been
searching for biases,

I've been in touch with the airline,

who are negotiating a settlement

with the plaintiffs.

- A settlement?
- Yes.

It's a very generous offer

to the victims' family, as it should be,

and it protects you
from any financial liability.

What do you need from me?

I need you to agree

to the findings of the NTSB report.

The report that

finds her at fault.

A-And if I do that, I'll be reinstated?

Well...

No. Fired.

And unemployable and never
able to fly again.

She killed 62 people.

No, Oscar.

An airplane crash killed
62 people, not your client.

Marissa mentioned you were
pushing for a settlement.

That struck her,

because even though she's a woman,

she's quite good with numbers.

So, she had Cable, also a woman,
also good with computers,

do some digging.

It seems that your contract

with Taylor stipulates the less
the airline pays the families,

the more your firm makes.

That seems like a conflict of interest,

but then again, you have all
that office space to pay for.

That's why I hate lawyers.

That's my... bias.

So you have a financial
incentive for me to settle?

It's called a reverse contingency fee.

It's how the airline controls damages.

That, and by blaming you.

Taylor.

This is in your best interest.

Do not let him twist this.

Can I fire my attorney?

Of course you can.

Especially since he was supplied to you

by the airline.

You're relieved, Mr. Weber.

See how easy that was?

Dr. Bull, you're a piece of work.

I like those glasses.

Dr. Bull, I can't afford
my own attorney.

It's all right.

We have someone. The best, really.

Hey.

What's up with Weber? Looked pissed.

Captain Mathison, meet your new lawyer.

Is this normal? For you
to sub in for a real trial?

It's been about a year since I've
been inside a real courtroom.

What kind of law did you practice?

I was a prosecutor in the D.A.'s office.

Yale Law, Supreme Court clerkship.

He was a pit bull.

If I were on trial,

Benny's the only lawyer I'd want.

Why did you leave?

I got fired.

Wait till you hear why.

All right, prospective jurors
have been sworn in.

Mr. Dworkin,

you may begin your voir dire.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

I'm going to ask all of you
some questions to see if you can

honestly and fairly assess this case.

This trial is a suit over...

How do you know who has this
bias against female pilots?

We ask them.

Okay, we have six strikes left.

Who's up first?

The lovely Martha Plemmons.

Martha Plemmons, 58.

High school librarian.

Crossword enthusiast.

The key is not to let

anyone know what we're screening for,

so our questions
have to be a little off.

Ms. Plemmons...

what would someone say
they didn't like about you?

Your Honor, this isn't a job interview.

What's the defense going for here?

It's his nickel, Mr. Dworkin.

Please.

I-I guess I can be a little
pushy sometimes.

I accessed the district's HR department.

Martha's filed two complaints

for equal pay
against a male counterpart.

I think she nailed "a little pushy."

Yeah, and self-aware. That
means she'd be open

to assess her own hidden bias on gender.

Two complaints for equal pay sounds
pretty aware of gender bias.

She only has 47 friends.

I don't think she's gonna win
Miss Congeniality on this jury.

We don't need her to.

She'll have an opinion
and stick with it.

The question is: will her
opinion help or hurt us?

I'd say help. Her last book purchase

was Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In.

- She gave it five stars.
- That is key.

If we can establish a gender
bias against Taylor,

Martha is gonna resent
the airline big-time.

Yeah, I've been watching her.

Every time she looks at Taylor,
she has admiration.

She'll be on our side.

Good for the defense, Your Honor.

Okay, let's do an online
search together.

"Three black teenagers."

But if I change "black" to "white..."

Your Honor, what is this? Race-baiting?

Anybody surprised by this?

That's just some PC nonsense.

This guy would win troll of the year

for the things he posts online.

Mr. Varni is not what I
would call enlightened.

He's not gonna recognize
gender bias if it was

full frontal in front of him.

I say bounce.

Strike, Your Honor.

All right, let's talk
about Dave Lemanski.

Professional storm chaser.

Should be respectful

of the power of Mother Nature, but...

also a self-described expert.

Well, at least he'll
understand the effects of wind shear.

Yeah, uh, he may not be afraid
of a Tennessee twister,

but he seems to run
from the opposite sex.

Surprise, storm chasing's
a total sausage fest.

I'm looking at his body language.

He's not a happy camper.

He's antsy just sitting
through voir dire.

Okay, the data on Lemanski is mixed.

On the plus side,

he will pay attention to weather
conditions during the crash,

but it's unclear

that he'll recognize his gender bias.

Who do we have if we bounce him?

We get...

"Rod the Bod,"

trainer-slash-model-slash-vitamin
salesman.

Uh, Rod's social media is loaded

with narcissistic
self-congratulatory dude speak.

I saw him checking out a
young lady in the gallery.

The guy's here to find a date.

Total lack of awareness.

He's gonna be a huge problem for us.

Okay.

Into the storm we go.

We've got ourselves a jury.

Seven women, five men.

Good for the defense, Your Honor.

I'm a high school librarian.

I'm a high school librarian.

I'm a single mom and teach fifth grade.

I'm a single mom
and I teach fifth grade.

My favorite hobbies are
Sudoku and model trains.

My favorite hobbies are
Sudoku and model trains.

For every juror, we hire
what we call a "mirror juror."

How can they be exactly the same?

Well, Marissa's created an algorithm

that can track a person
across 404 different variants.

We put them in the courtroom
for the entire trial.

They wear biometric watches
that allow us to track

their emotional responses
to events in the courtroom.

And with an
astonishing degree of accuracy,

they respond just like the actual jury.

Here we have a
dermatologist, a Spanish teacher,

and a Web designer.

We've identified them as open-minded.

Lemanski is impulsive,

a self-described expert...
Could go either way.

But these four are
followers. They'll go with the wind.

And what about those two?

That's Frederick West, infantry soldier.

All about personal responsibility.

But if he senses you're making
excuses, we'll lose him.

Orville Maynard, on the other hand...

retired English professor.

Didactic.

Despite a history of
celebrated liberal causes,

his personal syllabus reads like
a tribute to dead white men.

And he's spent his career
lecturing, not listening.

So what do we do?

We learn their habits,
lexicon, everything about them.

And then we connect with them,

with the help of our mirror jurors.

One juror at a time.

It is tragic that the lone
survivor of this crash

is the only one here to speak of it.

It's even more tragic

that she has no memory of what she did.

Of losing control of a plane,

before smashing it to the ground
killing all 62 passengers.

We're getting good feedback

from the biometric watches.

So far, our mirror juror
for number 11 is responding

most favorably to opposing counsel,

particularly when they mention
the number of victims.

Captain Taylor Mathison

is a decorated Air Force fighter pilot

who flew 139 sorties over Iraq.

Juliette Lee scratched her
neck after she looked at Taylor.

Something's making her uncomfortable.

How's her mirror looking?

She is clearly liking
Taylor's military service.

Looks like our best in with Juliette

is to keep focusing on Taylor's
experience as a fighter pilot.

So when Flight 1372
was hit by wind shear

that slammed the plane

toward the ground
at 200 feet per second,

not even a pilot of her caliber

could save them.

When a pilot encounters wind
shear, one advances the power,

retracts the
speedbrakes and retracts the gear

to reduce drag, build speed
and maintain altitude.

And, uh, speaking
as an NTSB investigator

with 20 years experience,
did the defendant

follow protocol?

No. In fact,

even her copilot seemed baffled...

Objection. Conjecture.

Mr. Reynolds can testify
in his opinion as an expert.

We feel that had she
followed protocol...

Control?

There is no control in wind that strong.

...18.

Please, sir, if you would,
walk us through.

The plane was erratic,

off course, not holding it's heading,

weaving back and forth.

It's clear she panicked,

lost control.

Thank you.

Nothing further, Your Honor.

I don't think this guy's a real pilot.

He's a paper pusher.

I could be getting be high
with one of my grad students.

Mr. Reynolds,

prior to the crash,

what was Captain Mathison's
flight record?

She had a flawless record.

And yet, your report found

pilot error to be
the cause of the crash.

Correct.

Hmm.

What about...

other crashes involving female pilots?

This is the first to my knowledge.

Wow. Really?

Women must be really good pilots.

Actually, there aren't very many.

Well, what
percentage of pilots are female?

About four percent.

Four out of 100.

Now, that is surprising.

It's a challenging lifestyle.

Don't flight attendants
work similar shifts?

Objection.

- Relevance.
- Withdrawn.

Nothing further, Your Honor.

Taylor may be a great pilot,
but she's also a woman.

And beautiful. She's trouble.

Tell me more about juror number four,

Ms. Juliette Lee.

Uh, three kids.

Works from home designing Web pages.

Creative, tech savvy.

And all the data shows that
she should be on Taylor's side.

Divorced?

Three years ago.

Her husband left her for his secretary.

Find out what color hair
the secretary had.

Let's bring the
copilot's wife into mock court.

I need to get her on the
stand and play lawyer.

Your husband Ken was the copilot.

Were you with him before
the flight took off?

We had been together just
a few hours before he left.

Where?

We had an appointment together.

An appointment?

Marriage therapy?

I loved my husband,
but he wasn't perfect.

He'd, uh... slipped before.

"Slipped"?

As in, had an affair?

Pilots are away a lot.

It's hard.

We were trying to move past it.

Hmm.

You ever think about
who the other woman was?

Of course I think about it.

Ken was sleeping with Taylor.

What? Mary!

You were my friend.

- How could you?
- Ken? I would never!

My God, stop lying!
What's wrong with you?!

- He's dead!
- She's lost her mind.

Why didn't you die, too?!

- Whoa. Okay, okay.
- You should've died

- instead of him!
- Shh, shh, it's okay.

Okay, let's take a
little break, all right?

It's okay. Marissa's gonna take you.

Taylor, stop.

You think I was sleeping with Ken?

That's what that stunt was about?

Not me.

Juror number four, Juliette Lee.

Her husband left her for a woman
who looks a lot like you.

I can't believe this.

Of course I wasn't sleeping with him.

Well, he was sleeping with someone.

Look, if you're not gonna
leave, can you at least turn around?

You said Ken was upset.

He missed his
inspection, you covered for him,

and you're still protecting
him, and I want to know why.

Dr. Bull, I...

I can come back.

No, I was just leaving.

Listen to me.

Marissa is talking to Mary right now.

I had her testify in mock court
so that she would blow here

and not in the real trial,

because if Mary accused
you of sleeping with Ken

in the actual court, true or not,

the plaintiffs would argue
that you were distracted

by a lovers' quarrel

in the cockpit and that
is why the plane crashed.

Now, I will get
this jury on your side...

but not unless you're honest with me.

You want honesty?

We're done.

Oh.

Women.

Hey.

That your virtual black box?

Virtually.

Every bit of information from
the roughly two dozen passengers

using the in-flight Wi-Fi.

Selfies from 22D, drink orders from 12A,

oh, an epic Twitter fight

between the sisters in 18B and C.

How did you get all of...

You know what?

Forget that I asked.

Um, anything that's gonna help us?

Yeah, I'm getting to that.

This tweet from 8C.

"Woman in 8D just stomped
her foot so hard

she broke her heel. #FlightRage."

Okay, what else?

"Woman in 8D apologized.
Said she just got dumped."

Juicy. And sad.

Dumped by who?

"Woman in 8D pretty much
threw herself at the pilot

when he went to the bathroom."

Who is this woman?

Tanya Bryant.

Twenty-nine.

An accountant for a department
store in Manhattan.

I think we just found
our copilot's mistress.

Nice.

Well done, well done.

So, Tanya flew three round-trip
flights on Essence Airlines

in the last month
leading up to the crash.

And all the flights have
one thing in common.

Bad food? Crying babies?

Ken Fowler as copilot.

So Ken and Tanya were
having an airborne romance,

not Ken and Taylor.

So why didn't Taylor say any of this?

Hmm.

Hey.

So Ken was having an affair with Tanya.

Not you.

You think maybe Ken was distracted,

too distracted to help
you with the wind shear?

We ran Ken's affair past a mock jury.

Instead of seeing Ken as questioning
your decisions,

they found him
preoccupied, not focused on flying.

And they found you not guilty.

No.

You know, so what if Ken
might've been distracted?

I was the pilot, I made
all the decisions.

I flew the plane, not Ken.

It-it wouldn't have made a difference.

Taylor, I get it.

You don't want to throw
your dead friend under the bus.

But you know in your heart
that Ken's affair

had nothing to do with this crash.

Right?

Look, I'm taking the settlement.

You can't do that.

Trust me, you'll regret it
for the rest of your life.

Maybe they're right. Maybe I panicked.

Did you?

I don't remember.

So you just want to give up?

Settle?

I guess it's what a woman would do.

- Take the blame.
- Excuse me?

Well, martyrdom is a
classic female response to tragedy.

Do you have any idea
what I have been through

my entire life as a pilot?

Are you telling me
you want to give that up?

Come with me.

Okay, you got me here. Now what?

Well, the simulator is gonna recreate

the exact conditions...

Yeah, I know what a simulator does.

I haven't flown since the accident.

I'll be right here with you.

I know this isn't easy.

I promise it'll get easier
if you fly again.

All right, Dr. Bull,

we're ready to begin the simulation.

Okay, we're gonna pick up

right after Ken got back to the cockpit.

Passing outer marker.

ILS approach

1-6, cleared to land.

Radar contact,
cleared to land, runway 1-6.

Ceiling 2-0-0, visibility
one-quarter mile,

wind one-niner-zero, variable 2-5 gust,

gust to 0-4-1 wind shear
all four quadrants.

Wonder how many people

get airsick in one of these things.

Wind shear, wind shear, wind shear.

Wind shear. Lost 20 knots.

Cross control, 0500.

- Can't...
- Throttle's up.

What are you doing?

On the go. Got to take it around.

That's against protocol.

Repeat, against protocol.

Clean it up. Full power.

Terrain... pull up.

- No.
- Terrain... pull up.

Five more seconds.

Terrain... pull up. Terrain... pull up.

Terrain... pull up.

Terrain... pull up. Terrain... pull up.

Terrain... pull up.

Terrain...

You know what you did?

I got five seconds more
flight out of that plane.

Five seconds is the difference
between putting that plane down

on an empty road or in a neighborhood
filled with people.

Taylor, you didn't want to relive it

because you were afraid
they were right...

That you lost control, but you didn't.

How did you know?

Because you're a fighter.

And a fighter pilot.

And another thing I do know

is that you saved
more lives than your own.

And the jury's never heard that.

Now...

you still want to take that settlement?

Captain Mathison,

what were you thinking

when the plane lost power
in the wind shear?

Objection. That is not the NTSB's video.

Your Honor, the video has been modified

in one specific way,

and that is to show the jury
what was on the ground.

I'll allow it,

but only for that reason.

Watch your step, Mr. Col�n.

I don't remember, actually,

due to head trauma from the crash.

You flew a simulation earlier

that replicated the conditions.

And you performed the same maneuver.

Why?

It was the only way to get

a few more seconds flight
out of the plane.

But it wasn't protocol.

Even your copilot asked
what you were doing.

It would have taken too long to explain.

He was never a military pilot.

Anyway, there was nothing for him to do.

I was in full command of the aircraft.

Why was it important for the plane

to stay in the air a few extra seconds?

To veer the plane
to an unpopulated area.

If I couldn't save the lives
of the people on board,

at least I could save
lives on the ground.

Yeah.

Captain Mathison solidified
these ten jurors today.

But?

But what does a twister aficionado

have in common with
a former infantryman?

- Besides flexibility?
- Oh...

Benny's closing argument
brings them both to tears.

- I'm working on it.
- You've already tried

five different versions in mock court.

I know, but none of them are right.

None of them got us the win.

They just haven't
figured out that gender

plays into Taylor's case.

Incredibly, their mirror jurors
still think she panicked.

All right, I got it.

You think he has it?

Not quite. But he will.

Where's Chunk? I'll find him.

Bull says you may need

a new tie.

Really?

Yeah.

I'd stay away from stripes

if you're trying to project
a progressive image.

I can't crack my closing argument.

I thought closings were your thing.

Yeah, when I was a prosecutor.

But since then, I've been in mock court.

You can lose 100 times
and it doesn't matter,

but today...

only get one shot.

I don't know if this helps,
but when I played for Georgia,

there was a rumor going around that

someone on the team was gay.

I remember that next practice,

I tackled that quarterback so hard...

he was out for a week.

We lost our next game,

but no one suspected that I was gay.

It never occurred to them that a gay man

could hit that hard.

At least not until
our ten-year reunion.

Chunk.

Thank you.

Tell Bull I said thanks for the tie.

Now, bear with me.

I'm gonna show you three pictures
that tell a story.

Okay? Here we go.

Now, as you can see,
these kids are getting bullied.

Then one of them fights back.

Here they are

in the principal's office.

And here's the bully,

nursing his black eye.

Okay, now,

as a show of hands,

what was the color shirt

of the kid who confronted the bully?

Was it a blue shirt?

Okay, well, let's take a look,

see if we're right.

If you all guessed blue, you were wrong.

The kid who confronted the bully

was wearing the red shirt.

See, I never specified

which kid confronted the bully.

You all just assumed

it was the boy.

Now, come on, I admit

I failed the test, too.

See, it's hard to imagine a girl
being the hero of the story.

Just like it's hard to imagine

Captain Mathison

being the hero of the one in this court.

But she is.

She doesn't deserve to be punished

for our failings.

She deserves to be thanked
for the lives that she saved.

We need to find her not guilty.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

have you reached a verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

What say you?

As to the charge of gross negligence,

we find the defendant not guilty.

That's one in the win column.

Very nice to meet you.

Hey. Oh.

Thank you so much.

Of course. Of course.

Of course.

Mary.

Hi, guys. Hi.

Come here.

Thanks.

May I approach the bar?

Ah, yes, you may.

Aha.

Congratulations, Dr. Bull.

You, too.

Showed a new speed in court today.

Yeah, yeah.

I picked up a few new moves here.

I saw that.

Well, I may start calling on you

more often out there.

Excuse me, Jay.

Milady.

Thank you.

I got a sweet little gift from Vince.

"Rock on."

Heard the airline settled
with the families.

Double what they would have paid

if Taylor had been found guilty.

So... how's my team?

Right where you want 'em.

Here.
