at 11275 Lamar Road

00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:08,133
shares dwelling with
Miss Valerie Renault.

3
00:00:08,133 --> 00:00:10,636
Actress, model,
member in good standing.

5
00:00:13,096 --> 00:00:15,515
The rental agreement
listing Miss Valerie

6
00:00:15,515 --> 00:00:18,143
as principal occupant
was signed by Barry

7
00:00:18,143 --> 00:00:20,312
four months prior
to leaving his wife.

8
00:00:20,312 --> 00:00:21,980
Here's a copy.

00:00:26,318 --> 00:00:28,111
Hmm.

12
00:00:28,111 --> 00:00:31,490
Lots of insurance work,
lots of cash transactions.

13
00:00:31,490 --> 00:00:33,992
Here's his tax returns
for the last three years.

14
00:00:33,992 --> 00:00:35,619
Lots of creative bookkeeping.

15
00:00:39,873 --> 00:00:41,583
Nice house.

16
00:00:41,583 --> 00:00:44,294
Sipriano: South of Ventura
Boulevard on a cul-de-sac.

17
00:00:44,294 --> 00:00:46,129
Now watch it. I just got 'em
back from the lab.

18
00:00:46,129 --> 00:00:48,548
They still may
be a little tacky.

19
00:00:48,548 --> 00:00:51,176
Here's one. They're both in the
nude smoking a joint.

20
00:00:54,846 --> 00:00:56,598
- Tacky indeed.
- Here's another.

21
00:00:56,598 --> 00:00:59,017
They're doing some
serious necking in the hot tub.

22
00:00:59,017 --> 00:01:01,561

on the chaise lounge

00:01:04,314 --> 00:01:06,817
engaged in the sex act
usually described

25
00:01:06,817 --> 00:01:09,611
by a two-digit number.

26
00:01:09,611 --> 00:01:11,613
Barry, you total degenerate.

27
00:01:16,034 --> 00:01:19,246
Well... this is going
to be a lunch

28
00:01:19,246 --> 00:01:21,290
that Mrs. Graham will
not soon forget.

29
00:01:23,292 --> 00:01:25,627
I swear I don't
understand you, Arnie.

30
00:01:25,627 --> 00:01:28,171
Sipriano: You take this poor
woman to some smitzy restaurant.

31
00:01:28,171 --> 00:01:30,424
You slap these on the table.

32
00:01:30,424 --> 00:01:33,010
She goes into the ladies room
and ralphs up fifty bucks

33
00:01:33,010 --> 00:01:35,012
worth of lunch all over
the velvet wallpaper.

34
00:01:35,012 --> 00:01:36,179
What's the point?

35
00:01:36,179 --> 00:01:37,806
Well, if I take the meeting here

36
00:01:37,806 --> 00:01:39,975
in the office, she goes berserk.
She makes a scene.

37
00:01:39,975 --> 00:01:42,060
She may even go for my eyes.

38
00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:43,228
Becker: At best,
it's gonna take a couple hours

39
00:01:43,228 --> 00:01:44,479
to get rid of her.
Because I can't throw

40
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:46,064
a crying woman out
on the street.

41
00:01:46,064 --> 00:01:49,401
So, instead, I take her out.

42
00:01:49,401 --> 00:01:51,194
She sees a half dozen
of her best friends.

43
00:01:51,194 --> 00:01:54,072
They see her.
Couple glasses of chardonnay.

44
00:01:54,072 --> 00:01:56,867
A little salad Nicoise...

45
00:01:56,867 --> 00:01:58,660
then I hit her with
the slide show.

46
00:01:58,660 --> 00:02:00,495
Becker: She's not gonna say a
word. She'd rather die

47
00:02:00,495 --> 00:02:03,373
than be embarrassed
in front of all of her friends.

48
00:02:03,373 --> 00:02:06,793
Plus, later I bill
her for the lunch.

Such as it is?

61
00:04:00,198 --> 00:04:03,201
Becker: You don't sound
too optimistic.

62
00:04:03,201 --> 00:04:04,786
Why should I be?
I'm nearly forty.

63
00:04:04,786 --> 00:04:07,164
I have two children,
a failed marriage.

64
00:04:07,164 --> 00:04:08,999
And I can't wear a bikini.

65
00:04:08,999 --> 00:04:12,294
I think you'd look
great in or out of a bikini.

Buttering up the client?

67
00:04:15,338 --> 00:04:18,049
Divorce is a growth
industry, Lydia.

68
00:04:18,049 --> 00:04:20,260
I don't need the business.

69
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:23,388
Good, because I've
thought seriously about it.

70
00:04:23,388 --> 00:04:25,932
I've decided to accept
the settlement as is.

71
00:04:25,932 --> 00:04:27,809
C'est la vie.

72
00:04:27,809 --> 00:04:30,020
Do you mind telling me why?

73
00:04:30,020 --> 00:04:32,522
In the long run, there are more
important things than money.

74
00:04:32,522 --> 00:04:34,816
I've just seen too
many divorces get ugly.

75
00:04:37,444 --> 00:04:39,070
You really are
quite a rare woman.

76
00:04:40,655 --> 00:04:42,407
Becker: But, okay, okay.

77
00:04:42,407 --> 00:04:44,242
What I'll do then is, I'll--

78
00:04:44,242 --> 00:04:45,786
I'll put the investigation
on hold.

79
00:04:45,786 --> 00:04:47,662
Investigation?

80
00:04:47,662 --> 00:04:49,372
Well, I had one of
our private investigators

81
00:04:49,372 --> 00:04:52,125
look into a few of your
husband's affairs, financial.

82
00:04:52,125 --> 00:04:55,670
Otherwise, no cost
to you, of course.

83
00:04:55,670 --> 00:05:00,008
I'll just keep
this on file and...

84
00:05:01,384 --> 00:05:04,262
if you ever change your mind...

85
00:05:04,262 --> 00:05:06,264
Does it obligate
me to look at it?

86
00:05:06,890 --> 00:05:08,225
In no way.

87
00:05:19,653 --> 00:05:21,905
It may be painful.

88
00:05:51,601 --> 00:05:54,437
Excuse me.
I uh, have to go powder my nose.

Norman Chaney

as a gifted lawyer, of course.

But more importantly...

93
00:06:10,161 --> 00:06:12,747
as a good and loyal friend.

94
00:06:12,747 --> 00:06:15,917
Norman Chaney left
more than his name

00:06:15,917 --> 00:06:17,460
on the letterhead of this firm.

96
00:06:17,460 --> 00:06:20,297
He left a standard of quality

97
00:06:20,297 --> 00:06:22,299
and character that

98
00:06:22,299 --> 00:06:24,134
we can only hope to emulate

99
00:06:24,134 --> 00:06:25,886
as we mourn his loss.

And after he has spoken,

106
00:06:39,024 --> 00:06:41,026

Norman Chaney knew everything

there was to know about tax law.

the sweeping 1982 revisions...

120
00:07:26,655 --> 00:07:30,158
one man stood as a beacon
in the deep fog

of tax code confusion.

[music continues]

123

and mentor, a giant

125
00:07:38,583 --> 00:07:40,752
in the minefield of tax law

126
00:07:40,752 --> 00:07:45,382
and its ever-changing
fiscal implications.

127
00:07:45,382 --> 00:07:49,302
A man for whom no
tax complexity was...

ah, was, too-- too complex,

167
00:10:18,451 --> 00:10:20,328
Georgia: He took me home.

168
00:10:20,328 --> 00:10:21,621
You and George...

169
00:10:21,621 --> 00:10:23,081
Georgia: He was the gentlest
man...

170
00:10:23,081 --> 00:10:25,041
- Georgia; I'd ever met.
- Completely alone.

171
00:10:25,041 --> 00:10:26,751
Georgia:
I poured out my heart to him.

172
00:10:26,751 --> 00:10:28,002
Nude.

173
00:10:28,002 --> 00:10:30,130
Georgia: I told him
I wasn't gay,

174
00:10:30,130 --> 00:10:31,965
but transsexual,

175
00:10:31,965 --> 00:10:35,093
[voice breaking]
a woman trapped...

176
00:10:35,093 --> 00:10:36,803
in a man's body.

177
00:10:39,848 --> 00:10:42,600
[crying] Norman...

178
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,562
encouraged me to face myself.

179
00:10:45,562 --> 00:10:47,814
Georgia: He supported me morally

180
00:10:47,814 --> 00:10:50,191
and financially through
several years...

181
00:10:50,191 --> 00:10:51,901
of deep analysis.

182
00:10:51,901 --> 00:10:55,405
Finally, he even offered
to pay for my surgery.

183
00:10:55,405 --> 00:10:58,032
And when the hospital said
that I had to live and work

184
00:10:58,032 --> 00:10:59,450
as a woman for 18 months

185
00:10:59,450 --> 00:11:02,203
before they'd perform
the operation...

186
00:11:02,203 --> 00:11:03,830
he got me a job.

187
00:11:06,583 --> 00:11:08,001
Georgia: Most of you

188
00:11:08,001 --> 00:11:10,170
[female

189
00:11:10,170 --> 00:11:12,630
probably couldn't guess
that Norman was gay.

190
00:11:12,630 --> 00:11:14,966
[door squeaks opens and shuts]

191
00:11:14,966 --> 00:11:17,385
Well, most of you
didn't know him at all.

192
00:11:20,096 --> 00:11:22,557
He was [sniffles]...

193
00:11:22,557 --> 00:11:24,184
a deeply complicated man,

194
00:11:24,184 --> 00:11:27,353
never really comfortable
with his sexual orientation.

195
00:11:29,647 --> 00:11:32,442
I think that his support of me

196
00:11:32,442 --> 00:11:35,069
in my struggle...

197
00:11:35,069 --> 00:11:37,780
was his way of reckoning
with his own ambivalence.

198
00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:43,411
I'll miss you, Norman...

199
00:11:46,623 --> 00:11:50,418
your wisdom, your guidance...

200
00:11:53,046 --> 00:11:55,465
your love and support.

201
00:11:59,594 --> 00:12:02,013
You gave me the courage...

202
00:12:02,013 --> 00:12:04,766
to heal myself.

203
00:12:08,061 --> 00:12:09,395
[sobs]

204
00:12:11,189 --> 00:12:12,440
I'll miss you...

205
00:12:13,441 --> 00:12:15,109
[inhales deeply]

206
00:12:15,109 --> 00:12:16,736
and love you always.

207
00:12:31,709 --> 00:12:33,586
And I want to thank
you all for participating

208
00:12:33,586 --> 00:12:36,130
in Norman Chaney's
memorial service.

209
00:12:36,130 --> 00:12:39,801
It was, to say the least,
an unusual service.

210
00:12:39,801 --> 00:12:42,470
But then Norman
was an unusual man

211
00:12:42,470 --> 00:12:44,472
with a wry sense of humor

212
00:12:44,472 --> 00:12:46,266
concerning the human condition.

213
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:48,351
McKenzie: I think it would
have tickled him.

214
00:12:48,351 --> 00:12:49,686
Sorry we're late.

215
00:12:49,686 --> 00:12:52,605
That's alright.
How long do we have?

216
00:12:52,605 --> 00:12:54,649
Mr. Kuzak has a
courtroom appearance

217
00:12:54,649 --> 00:12:56,317
at 11 in the Pregerson case.

218
00:12:56,317 --> 00:12:58,736
And you're lunching with
a potential new associate.

219
00:12:58,736 --> 00:13:00,905
Uh, if I may ask, who is it?

220
00:13:00,905 --> 00:13:03,491
He's with the PD's office...

221
00:13:03,491 --> 00:13:05,618
Victor Sifuentes.

222
00:13:05,618 --> 00:13:07,829
- A Chicano?
- I believe so.

223
00:13:07,829 --> 00:13:10,623
Okay, Kuzak's getting his body.

224
00:13:10,623 --> 00:13:12,125
I want Chaney's office.

225
00:13:12,125 --> 00:13:14,294
Ah, not until we
make a decision about

226
00:13:14,294 --> 00:13:15,920
hiring a tax specialist.

227
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,588
Brackman: If we bring in
some big rainmaker

228
00:13:17,588 --> 00:13:19,132
at a senior partner level,

229
00:13:19,132 --> 00:13:20,967
he'll demand the office
in his perk package.

230
00:13:20,967 --> 00:13:22,844
Don't take me for
granted, Douglas.

231
00:13:22,844 --> 00:13:24,387
Who makes more
rain here than I do?

232
00:13:24,387 --> 00:13:26,931
- I, for one.
- Sure.

233
00:13:26,931 --> 00:13:28,308
Clients come in
thinking they're getting

234
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:30,143
the original, genuine Brackman.

235
00:13:30,143 --> 00:13:32,478
Not some cheap, second
generation knock-off.

236
00:13:32,478 --> 00:13:34,063
How dare you!

237
00:13:34,063 --> 00:13:35,773
McKenzie: Gentlemen, settle
your differences

238
00:13:35,773 --> 00:13:37,525
outside of this room

239
00:13:37,525 --> 00:13:39,360
and on your own time.

240
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,113
Alright.

241
00:13:42,113 --> 00:13:44,365
Brackman: But my list is not as
current as it should be

242
00:13:44,365 --> 00:13:48,619
due to my secretary's
sudden departure from the firm.

243
00:13:48,619 --> 00:13:51,372
- What happened to her?
- I fired him.

244
00:13:51,372 --> 00:13:53,207
How come?

245
00:13:53,207 --> 00:13:55,043
Because I do not
want that freak of nature

246
00:13:55,043 --> 00:13:58,337
sitting outside my
office representing me.

247
00:13:58,337 --> 00:14:01,174
- Homophobic, Douglas?
- Knock it off, Arnold.

248
00:14:01,174 --> 00:14:03,009
McKenzie: I mean it.

249
00:14:03,009 --> 00:14:05,928
Now let's start with
the Lewis tax audit.

250
00:14:05,928 --> 00:14:07,138
Stuart?

251
00:14:07,138 --> 00:14:09,348
Ah, yes, I'm--
I'm fully prepared.

252
00:14:11,059 --> 00:14:12,852
Good.

253
00:14:12,852 --> 00:14:16,189
Douglas, will you continue
down your list, please?

254
00:14:16,189 --> 00:14:18,816
New business.

255
00:14:18,816 --> 00:14:20,401
I'm pleased to
say I've brought in

256
00:14:20,401 --> 00:14:22,403
Nathan Electronics on retainer.

257
00:14:22,403 --> 00:14:25,698
And R, T and O Industries
on a corporate acquisition

258
00:14:25,698 --> 00:14:27,408
and anti-trust matter.

259
00:14:27,408 --> 00:14:28,993
Old business.

260
00:14:28,993 --> 00:14:32,246
The divestiture, I assume,
is status quo.

261
00:14:32,246 --> 00:14:33,748
Brackman: Now Patramco.

262
00:14:33,748 --> 00:14:35,416
Miss Kelsey,
I'm stilling waiting

263
00:14:35,416 --> 00:14:38,127
for those interrogatories
on Patramco.

264
00:14:38,127 --> 00:14:40,838
They've been on your
desk since yesterday evening.

265
00:14:42,715 --> 00:14:45,802
And how is your
little pro bono case?

266
00:14:45,802 --> 00:14:47,220
Is the crusading lady lawyer

267
00:14:47,220 --> 00:14:50,389
going to get the big bad
insurance company

268
00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:53,893
to pay the $750 or not?

269
00:14:53,893 --> 00:14:55,603
They're going to pay, alright.

270
00:14:55,603 --> 00:14:56,938
But it'll be
a hell of a lot more

271
00:14:56,938 --> 00:14:58,689
than seven hundred
and fifty dollars.

272
00:14:58,689 --> 00:15:01,859
She's got a brain tumor.

273
00:15:01,859 --> 00:15:03,736
Can you prove a
causal connection

274
00:15:03,736 --> 00:15:05,571
with the insurance
company's bad faith?

275
00:15:05,571 --> 00:15:06,823
I believe so.

276
00:15:06,823 --> 00:15:09,283
Is there a possibility...

277
00:15:09,283 --> 00:15:10,493
that she could die?

278
00:15:12,453 --> 00:15:13,913
Just in case...

279
00:15:13,913 --> 00:15:16,040
why don't you and Markowitz

280
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,334
start working on the actuarials?

281
00:15:18,334 --> 00:15:21,587
Cover all the contingencies.

282
00:15:23,631 --> 00:15:25,424
Even if she doesn't die,

283
00:15:25,424 --> 00:15:27,844
we could still be
looking at a six-figure fee.

284
00:15:27,844 --> 00:15:30,721
[slams table] In deference to
the fact that you are a partner

285
00:15:30,721 --> 00:15:33,683
in this firm, I'm going to
leave before I say something

286
00:15:33,683 --> 00:15:35,017
that I might regret later.

287
00:15:39,438 --> 00:15:40,731
Excuse me.

288
00:15:44,318 --> 00:15:45,653
Ann?

289
00:15:45,653 --> 00:15:47,321
He's a pig!

290
00:15:47,321 --> 00:15:48,906
We are talking about
a woman who could die

291
00:15:48,906 --> 00:15:50,616
and all he can see
are dollar signs.

292
00:15:50,616 --> 00:15:52,952
So if you're gonna ask me to
apologize, forget it.

293
00:15:52,952 --> 00:15:54,704
Annie, without
legal representation,

294
00:15:54,704 --> 00:15:57,957
all the same terrible things
would have happened to her

295
00:15:57,957 --> 00:15:59,792
excepting the
very real possibility that

296
00:15:59,792 --> 00:16:02,670
she might never have received
medical treatment at all.

297
00:16:02,670 --> 00:16:04,088
I understand that.

298
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:06,090
And while, yes,
it's possible our firm

299
00:16:06,090 --> 00:16:08,676
may profit from her problems.

300
00:16:08,676 --> 00:16:10,469
So will her children.

301
00:16:10,469 --> 00:16:12,972
And perhaps just as important,
the insurance company

302
00:16:12,972 --> 00:16:15,141
will think twice before
they do it to anyone else.

303
00:16:15,141 --> 00:16:17,518
I am not against earning
a buck, Leland,

304
00:16:17,518 --> 00:16:20,354
as long as we don't sell off our
humanity in the process.

305
00:16:20,354 --> 00:16:23,566
I grant you, in the hands
of a Douglas Brackman,

306
00:16:23,566 --> 00:16:25,109
the law may not be pretty.

307
00:16:25,109 --> 00:16:28,738
But in the hands of
Ann Kelsey...

308
00:16:28,738 --> 00:16:30,740
it can be uplifting

309
00:16:30,740 --> 00:16:32,950
and life-affirming

310
00:16:32,950 --> 00:16:36,621
and we can all be proud of that.

311
00:16:36,621 --> 00:16:37,955
You're handling me.

312
00:16:39,582 --> 00:16:41,834
True.

313
00:16:41,834 --> 00:16:44,712
But I'll also handle Douglas.

314
00:16:44,712 --> 00:16:47,673
That's your case.
You run with it as you see fit.

315
00:16:47,673 --> 00:16:49,383
Thank you.

316
00:16:49,383 --> 00:16:50,885
[crying]

317
00:16:54,180 --> 00:16:55,139
[crying]

318
00:16:57,475 --> 00:16:59,810
Ratakowski: Let the record
reflect that the alleged victim

319
00:16:59,810 --> 00:17:01,854
in this matter, Adrienne Moore,

320
00:17:01,854 --> 00:17:04,315
has formally apologized
to the court.

321
00:17:04,315 --> 00:17:07,193
And, accordingly,
the contempt is discharged.

322
00:17:07,193 --> 00:17:09,445
Mr. Cavanaugh, you may
pick up your cross-examination

323
00:17:09,445 --> 00:17:10,780
from where you left off.

324
00:17:10,780 --> 00:17:11,948
Thank you, Your Honor.

325
00:17:14,784 --> 00:17:17,828
Now, Miss Moore,

326
00:17:17,828 --> 00:17:19,163
drawing your
attention once again

327
00:17:19,163 --> 00:17:20,790
to the evening in question.

328
00:17:20,790 --> 00:17:23,334
Cavanaugh: As you came out of
the convenience store

329
00:17:23,334 --> 00:17:24,669
carrying your purchases,

330
00:17:24,669 --> 00:17:27,964
did you take your package

331
00:17:27,964 --> 00:17:29,757
and put it in the car first,

332
00:17:29,757 --> 00:17:32,552
or did you take it with you
as approached my client?

333
00:17:32,552 --> 00:17:35,972
Objection, Your Honor,
to that sleazy trick question.

334
00:17:35,972 --> 00:17:37,556
I object to your inference.

335
00:17:37,556 --> 00:17:39,225
Sit down, both of you.

336
00:17:39,225 --> 00:17:41,894
Miss Moore, what did
you do immediately after

337
00:17:41,894 --> 00:17:44,063
leaving the convenience store?

338
00:17:44,063 --> 00:17:45,773
I'm sorry. I don't remember.

339
00:17:45,773 --> 00:17:48,317
Did you go to your car?

340
00:17:48,317 --> 00:17:49,902
Did you go to the
defendant's car?

341
00:17:49,902 --> 00:17:51,445
Did they come to you?
What happened?

342
00:17:51,445 --> 00:17:52,863
I don't remember.

343
00:17:52,863 --> 00:17:54,907
I just don't remember.

344
00:17:54,907 --> 00:17:56,617
Ratakowski: Two days ago
in this courtroom,

345
00:17:56,617 --> 00:18:00,037
I don't recall your having
any such memory problems.

346
00:18:00,037 --> 00:18:03,082
Your Honor,
due to my situation,

347
00:18:03,082 --> 00:18:05,001
I'm on extensive medication.

348
00:18:05,001 --> 00:18:06,877
Moore: Vincristine, Prednisone,

349
00:18:06,877 --> 00:18:10,006
Codeine, Dalmane, Chlonodine.

350
00:18:10,006 --> 00:18:11,632
With the court's permission,

351
00:18:11,632 --> 00:18:14,385
would you explain to us
what some of these drugs are?

352
00:18:14,385 --> 00:18:18,431
Vincristine and Prednisone
are chemotherapy drugs.

353
00:18:18,431 --> 00:18:20,725
Codeine is for pain and

354
00:18:20,725 --> 00:18:22,476
Dalmane is a tranquilizer.

355
00:18:22,476 --> 00:18:24,103
Cavanaugh:
Well, forgive my ignorance,

356
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,856
but might some of
these drugs cause

357
00:18:26,856 --> 00:18:29,025
drowsiness, impaired memory?

358
00:18:29,025 --> 00:18:31,152
Perhaps occasional confusion?

359
00:18:31,152 --> 00:18:33,446
Yes, they would, and they do.

360
00:18:33,446 --> 00:18:36,073
Well, then is
it possible that...

361
00:18:36,073 --> 00:18:38,451
some of your
prior testimony might render

362
00:18:38,451 --> 00:18:41,245
unreliable under these
circumstances?

363
00:18:41,245 --> 00:18:43,331
Yes.

364
00:18:43,331 --> 00:18:46,167
I'm just not as clear
on the events

365
00:18:46,167 --> 00:18:48,628
of that evening
as I thought I was.

366
00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:50,504
Ratakowski:
If this sudden loss of memory

367
00:18:50,504 --> 00:18:53,049
is your way of refusing
to supply testimony,

368
00:18:53,049 --> 00:18:54,508
I must warn you, Miss Moore,

369
00:18:54,508 --> 00:18:57,219
you are once again in
contempt of this court.

370
00:18:57,219 --> 00:18:58,346
I'm sorry.

371
00:18:58,346 --> 00:19:00,222
Ah, Your Honor, move
for a continuance.

372
00:19:00,222 --> 00:19:02,016
I want to confer
with the witness.

373
00:19:02,016 --> 00:19:03,642
It won't help.

374
00:19:03,642 --> 00:19:04,727
Cavanaugh:
Approach bench, Your Honor?

375
00:19:04,727 --> 00:19:06,062
Approach.

376
00:19:13,778 --> 00:19:15,196
Ratakowski: Motions?

377
00:19:15,196 --> 00:19:16,906
Motion for
dismissal, Your Honor,

378
00:19:16,906 --> 00:19:19,283
due to the unreliability of
the complaining witness.

379
00:19:19,283 --> 00:19:21,744
Objection, Your Honor. She's...

380
00:19:21,744 --> 00:19:25,539
clearly feigning
memory loss to avoid testifying.

381
00:19:25,539 --> 00:19:28,376
There's that possibility,
Mr. Gold, but...

382
00:19:28,376 --> 00:19:30,419
whichever the case,
you're not going to be able to

383
00:19:30,419 --> 00:19:33,756
make this case stick with
an uncooperative witness.

384
00:19:33,756 --> 00:19:35,299
I see no choice but to dismiss.

385
00:19:35,299 --> 00:19:37,134
If the D.A. can
talk to the witness

386
00:19:37,134 --> 00:19:38,886
and urge her cooperation,
the people are then,

387
00:19:38,886 --> 00:19:41,889
of course, free to re-file
charges at that time.

388
00:19:41,889 --> 00:19:43,307
Thank you, Your Honor.

389
00:19:43,307 --> 00:19:45,643
There is no cause
for smiling, counselor.

390
00:19:45,643 --> 00:19:47,061
Step back.

391
00:19:50,189 --> 00:19:51,982
Defendant will not
be held to answer

392
00:19:51,982 --> 00:19:53,818
due to insufficiency
of evidence.

393
00:19:53,818 --> 00:19:55,903
Case dismissed.

394
00:19:55,903 --> 00:19:58,614
Bailiff: This court is adjourned
until 9 a.m. tomorrow morning.

395
00:19:58,614 --> 00:20:00,032
What's happening?

396
00:20:00,032 --> 00:20:02,410
It's over. There's no case.

397
00:20:02,410 --> 00:20:04,161
Kuzak: Go home.

398
00:20:04,161 --> 00:20:05,204
Pregerson:
Well, what about our threats?

399
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:07,039
She said she'd blow us away!

400
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:09,500
You deserve to die!

401
00:20:09,500 --> 00:20:12,086
Did you-- did you hear that?
That's a threat!

402
00:20:12,086 --> 00:20:13,504
What's going on here?

403
00:20:13,504 --> 00:20:15,381
She ought to be
arrested for that!

404
00:20:29,478 --> 00:20:31,814
I'll have the turbot,
sauce on the side.

405
00:20:31,814 --> 00:20:32,940
Nothing to start.

406
00:20:32,940 --> 00:20:34,567
Monsieur?

407
00:20:34,567 --> 00:20:36,485
Cold chicken plate,
nothing to start.

408
00:20:36,485 --> 00:20:37,903
Monsieur?

409
00:20:37,903 --> 00:20:40,197
How much is the warm lobster?

410
00:20:40,197 --> 00:20:41,657
Waiter: Uh, sixteen dollars.

411
00:20:41,657 --> 00:20:44,618
- And the pasta?
waiter: Uh, eleven dollars.

412
00:20:44,618 --> 00:20:46,787
Okay. Both.

413
00:20:46,787 --> 00:20:48,748
That's $27, that's okay?

414
00:20:48,748 --> 00:20:51,876
You seem concerned about the
cost of lunch, Mr. Sifuentes.

415
00:20:51,876 --> 00:20:53,586
Well, Doug, the way I figure it,

416
00:20:53,586 --> 00:20:55,212
with the wine and all,
this lunch has gotta go

417
00:20:55,212 --> 00:20:56,881
two-fifty, three hundred bucks.

418
00:20:56,881 --> 00:20:58,841
Sifuentes: Which ain't a lot
compared to what you probably

419
00:20:58,841 --> 00:21:00,509
paid for your suit.

420
00:21:00,509 --> 00:21:03,053
Until you figure that
that suit's gonna last you

421
00:21:03,053 --> 00:21:04,472
a couple of years, maybe more.

422
00:21:04,472 --> 00:21:07,641
But by tomorrow,
lunch is sewage.

423
00:21:07,641 --> 00:21:10,394
- You get my point, Doug?
- I'm afraid it escapes me.

424
00:21:10,394 --> 00:21:13,022
Well, I think Victor is
curious about the value

425
00:21:13,022 --> 00:21:15,024
that we place on his services

426
00:21:15,024 --> 00:21:16,442
relative to food and clothing.

427
00:21:16,442 --> 00:21:18,652
Assuming he's
invited to join us.

428
00:21:18,652 --> 00:21:20,863
Right, assuming that.

429
00:21:20,863 --> 00:21:22,198
Tell us your background, Victor.

430
00:21:22,198 --> 00:21:25,534
Well, I'm a local boy, East L.A.

431
00:21:25,534 --> 00:21:27,745
High school,
couple of years in the army.

432
00:21:27,745 --> 00:21:29,121
Cal State Northridge,

433
00:21:29,121 --> 00:21:31,248
Glendale College
of Law in Glendale.

434
00:21:31,248 --> 00:21:33,667
And four years
at the PD's office.

435
00:21:33,667 --> 00:21:35,794
And why the law?

436
00:21:35,794 --> 00:21:37,046
Lots of reasons.

437
00:21:37,046 --> 00:21:39,215
Make a living...

438
00:21:39,215 --> 00:21:40,925
give something back, you know.

439
00:21:40,925 --> 00:21:42,718
Do a little good for the people.

440
00:21:42,718 --> 00:21:44,011
And that's what you were
doing the other day in court

441
00:21:44,011 --> 00:21:45,596
with all that mambo about

442
00:21:45,596 --> 00:21:47,431
being denied access
to your client?

443
00:21:47,431 --> 00:21:49,558
Hey, man, you do
what you gotta do.

444
00:21:49,558 --> 00:21:51,685
The bottom line is,
the dude's not gonna do time.

445
00:21:51,685 --> 00:21:54,396
- He's going into a program.
- The dude is a hype.

446
00:21:54,396 --> 00:21:56,565
And 20 bucks says he's gonna
wind up dead in an alley

447
00:21:56,565 --> 00:21:58,234
somewhere with a needle
sticking out of his arm.

448
00:21:58,234 --> 00:21:59,944
You don't know that.

449
00:21:59,944 --> 00:22:02,363
If you could do any kind of law

450
00:22:02,363 --> 00:22:03,906
what kind would it be?

451
00:22:03,906 --> 00:22:05,866
Pro bono stuff, class actions.

452
00:22:05,866 --> 00:22:08,702
Immigration stuff,
Indian Affairs, like that.

453
00:22:08,702 --> 00:22:12,706
If you come with us,
assuming that Mike wants you,

454
00:22:12,706 --> 00:22:15,251
we'll do everything we can
to accommodate your needs.

455
00:22:15,251 --> 00:22:18,254
Kuzak: Now you've been in the
PD's office for a long time now.

456
00:22:18,254 --> 00:22:20,589
Maybe you wanna
stretch a little.

457
00:22:20,589 --> 00:22:23,050
You mean, like you did
with the Pregerson kid?

458
00:22:23,050 --> 00:22:25,928
- Cheap shot.
- Oh, yeah?

459
00:22:25,928 --> 00:22:28,806
Well, the fact is, you don't
want me to do no pro bono.

460
00:22:28,806 --> 00:22:30,516
Sifuentes: And you sure ain't
looking for a little third world

461
00:22:30,516 --> 00:22:32,643
color to brighten up
your office decor.

462
00:22:32,643 --> 00:22:34,436
What I do think
is that you're tired

463
00:22:34,436 --> 00:22:36,730
of picking up the
snails yourself.

464
00:22:36,730 --> 00:22:38,107
So you're bringing in
the Mexican gardener

465
00:22:38,107 --> 00:22:39,858
to do it for you.

466
00:22:39,858 --> 00:22:43,112
Well, I think you've made
your position quite clear.

467
00:22:43,112 --> 00:22:46,699
Yeah. I guess I have.

468
00:22:46,699 --> 00:22:47,533
Gentlemen.

469
00:22:52,496 --> 00:22:55,416
Mestman: Nice. Very nice offices

470
00:22:55,416 --> 00:22:58,002
you ladies have here.
Very nice indeed.

471
00:22:58,002 --> 00:22:59,044
Kelsey: Thank you, Mr. Mestman.

472
00:22:59,044 --> 00:23:00,880
Nice. Nice touch, this.

473
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,131
Very, very feminine.

474
00:23:03,465 --> 00:23:05,634
I don't mean to be rude, but

475
00:23:05,634 --> 00:23:07,720
you said on the phone that you
had an offer to propose.

476
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,014
Yes, I discussed the
matter with my superiors.

477
00:23:10,014 --> 00:23:11,348
Now, of course,
without admitting

478
00:23:11,348 --> 00:23:13,100
or implying any
liability on our part.

479
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:16,604
But merely in recognition
of the potential litigiousness

480
00:23:16,604 --> 00:23:18,355
of this matter,
we feel a settlement

481
00:23:18,355 --> 00:23:20,399
might be appropriate
at this time.

482
00:23:20,399 --> 00:23:22,401
I, frankly, think any settlement

483
00:23:22,401 --> 00:23:24,236
would be premature
until after Mrs. Robinson

484
00:23:24,236 --> 00:23:27,406
undergoes surgery tomorrow.
But I'm willing to listen.

485
00:23:27,406 --> 00:23:30,618
Uh, let me add that this offer
in no way admits

486
00:23:30,618 --> 00:23:33,954
or infers any causal connection
between Mrs. Robinson's

487
00:23:33,954 --> 00:23:35,831
failing to seek treatment
nine months ago

488
00:23:35,831 --> 00:23:37,499
and her condition today.

489
00:23:37,499 --> 00:23:39,627
Your reservations are
duly noted, Mr. Mestman.

490
00:23:39,627 --> 00:23:42,129
Now what was the
number you had in mind?

491
00:23:42,129 --> 00:23:44,340
Twenty-five thousand...

492
00:23:44,340 --> 00:23:48,636
plus reasonable hospital medical
and surgical bills, of course.

493
00:23:48,636 --> 00:23:51,555
We might be willing
to go to 50 if she dies.

494
00:23:53,891 --> 00:23:55,809
Well?

495
00:23:55,809 --> 00:23:59,563
My law clerk has made a notation
of your offer in the file.

496
00:23:59,563 --> 00:24:01,815
- Thank you, and good day.
- Wait a minute.

497
00:24:01,815 --> 00:24:03,484
What kind of number
did you have in mind?

498
00:24:03,484 --> 00:24:07,488
One with at least
two more zeroes at the end.

499
00:24:07,488 --> 00:24:09,990
This is a black woman,
a domestic.

500
00:24:09,990 --> 00:24:11,617
She's a caterer and I don't know

501
00:24:11,617 --> 00:24:13,744
what her color
has to do with it.

502
00:24:13,744 --> 00:24:15,454
I'm offering her more money
than she probably

503
00:24:15,454 --> 00:24:16,872
earns in an entire year.

504
00:24:16,872 --> 00:24:18,415
Before you turn
your nose up at it,

505
00:24:18,415 --> 00:24:19,625
I'd advise you to think twice.

506
00:24:19,625 --> 00:24:23,253
Once was more than sufficient.
Good day.

507
00:24:23,253 --> 00:24:25,964
You think you're pretty smart
with your fancy law degree.

508
00:24:25,964 --> 00:24:27,633
Well, we'll see just
how smart you are

509
00:24:27,633 --> 00:24:30,219
when you have to
take this to a jury.

510
00:24:30,219 --> 00:24:32,805
Trust me, juries
don't like bulldozing,

511
00:24:32,805 --> 00:24:37,393
chop-busting, butch lady
lawyers any better than I do.

512
00:24:37,393 --> 00:24:40,854
Thank you for sharing that
insight with me, Mr. Mestman.

513
00:24:40,854 --> 00:24:42,648
Kelsey: Once again, I must
decline your offer.

514
00:24:42,648 --> 00:24:45,067
But I do appreciate
your coming in.

515
00:24:45,067 --> 00:24:46,110
Have a nice day.

516
00:24:46,110 --> 00:24:47,569
[telephone ringing]

517
00:24:54,076 --> 00:24:55,661
Glazer: I'd be less than
honest if I didn't tell you

518
00:24:55,661 --> 00:24:59,081
for the record how deeply
disappointed my client is.

519
00:24:59,081 --> 00:25:02,876
That after hammering out
this settlement in good faith,

520
00:25:02,876 --> 00:25:07,423
we find ourselves in such a
clearly adversarial proceeding.

521
00:25:07,423 --> 00:25:08,882
Oh, it was
hammered out, alright.

522
00:25:08,882 --> 00:25:12,094
We're just not so sure
about the good faith part.

523
00:25:12,094 --> 00:25:14,096
We offered alimony for...

524
00:25:14,096 --> 00:25:17,433
six years at $1,500 per month.

525
00:25:17,433 --> 00:25:19,226
Glazer: And child support
for like amount.

526
00:25:19,226 --> 00:25:22,146
Further, after the sale of
their jointly-owned home,

527
00:25:22,146 --> 00:25:23,647
one-half of the net proceeds

528
00:25:23,647 --> 00:25:25,524
plus all the furniture,
silver and art.

529
00:25:25,524 --> 00:25:26,442
Becker: I've read the menu, sir.

530
00:25:26,442 --> 00:25:28,485
Please don't kid a kidder.

531
00:25:28,485 --> 00:25:29,945
This woman,
the mother of Mr. Graham's

532
00:25:29,945 --> 00:25:32,114
two young children,
has been deceived.

533
00:25:33,699 --> 00:25:35,492
This woman did you no harm, sir.

534
00:25:35,492 --> 00:25:36,910
Becker:
She was true to her vows.

535
00:25:36,910 --> 00:25:38,287
As was Mr. Graham!

536
00:25:38,287 --> 00:25:40,414
Oh, please.

537
00:25:40,414 --> 00:25:42,624
You might want to browse these.

538
00:25:51,091 --> 00:25:52,259
How did you get these?

539
00:25:52,259 --> 00:25:54,887
You miserable,
you lying scum!

540
00:25:54,887 --> 00:25:56,889
Lydia:
You said there was no one else.

541
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:58,265
Counselor?

542
00:25:58,265 --> 00:26:00,476
Now who's kidding whom?

543
00:26:00,476 --> 00:26:01,852
Glazer: This is California.

544
00:26:01,852 --> 00:26:05,147
The fact that Mr. Graham
has a lady friend...

545
00:26:05,147 --> 00:26:07,107
is of no relevance whatsoever.

546
00:26:07,107 --> 00:26:09,735
This is what it's
all about, isn't it?

547
00:26:09,735 --> 00:26:12,654
The fact that I have a
loving and close relationship.

548
00:26:12,654 --> 00:26:14,531
Close? You ought to be
sued for practicing

549
00:26:14,531 --> 00:26:16,325
medicine without a license!

550
00:26:16,325 --> 00:26:18,327
And you won't be happy
until you've made me pay!

551
00:26:18,327 --> 00:26:22,164
I'm the one being made to pay
here, you low-life degenerate!

552
00:26:22,164 --> 00:26:23,624
Becker: Lydia, Lydia, Lydia.

553
00:26:23,624 --> 00:26:25,292
Lydia, Lydia, calm-- calm down.

554
00:26:25,292 --> 00:26:27,086
Come on, come on, come on.
Come on, sweetheart.

555
00:26:28,962 --> 00:26:31,507
You punishing bitch!

556
00:26:31,507 --> 00:26:33,175
You can't stand
that I could be happy

557
00:26:33,175 --> 00:26:34,384
with another woman, can you?

558
00:26:34,384 --> 00:26:36,178
Forgetting momentarily

559
00:26:36,178 --> 00:26:37,930
this invasion of privacy issue,

560
00:26:37,930 --> 00:26:41,141
what is the point
of this ugliness?

561
00:26:41,141 --> 00:26:42,976
Other than to...

562
00:26:42,976 --> 00:26:45,938
unnecessarily inflame
an already...

563
00:26:45,938 --> 00:26:47,940
overheated situation?

564
00:26:47,940 --> 00:26:50,025
Mr. Graham
has lied to his wife.

565
00:26:50,025 --> 00:26:53,195
We have reason to believe
he's lied about other matters

566
00:26:53,195 --> 00:26:54,947
of a financial nature as well.

567
00:26:54,947 --> 00:26:56,782
You're spraying.

568
00:26:56,782 --> 00:26:58,742
We're prepared to subpoena
your records if we have to.

569
00:26:58,742 --> 00:27:00,661
Go ahead.

570
00:27:00,661 --> 00:27:02,621
But while we bury
each other in paperwork,

571
00:27:02,621 --> 00:27:04,915
how's she gonna support herself?
Get a job?

572
00:27:04,915 --> 00:27:06,834
Graham: She couldn't get
paid for the only thing

573
00:27:06,834 --> 00:27:09,128
she's qualified to do.
She's not good enough!

574
00:27:09,128 --> 00:27:10,212
You filth!

575
00:27:10,212 --> 00:27:12,673
Lydia! Shh!

576
00:27:15,717 --> 00:27:19,388
Mr. Graham,
we have reason to believe

577
00:27:19,388 --> 00:27:22,641
that you are daily in violation
of the criminal code.

578
00:27:22,641 --> 00:27:25,143
Becker:
You deal in stolen auto parts.

579
00:27:25,143 --> 00:27:27,563
You regularly engage
in insurance fraud

580
00:27:27,563 --> 00:27:29,815
that you do not declare
cash transactions.

581
00:27:29,815 --> 00:27:31,525
You'd better be
prepared to defend yourself

582
00:27:31,525 --> 00:27:33,026
in a slander suit, sir!

583
00:27:33,026 --> 00:27:35,863
As I recall, truth is
a complete defense.

584
00:27:35,863 --> 00:27:39,616
I have here signed
and notarized affidavits

585
00:27:39,616 --> 00:27:41,201
from one of our
private investigators,

586
00:27:41,201 --> 00:27:43,704
Ms. Angela Sipriano, stating
that on such and such a date,

587
00:27:43,704 --> 00:27:46,039
blah, blah, blah, blah...

588
00:27:46,039 --> 00:27:47,708
she drove onto your premises to
discuss repairs

589
00:27:47,708 --> 00:27:50,002
of her badly damaged automobile.

590
00:27:50,002 --> 00:27:52,379
Becker: At which time,
after carefully inspecting

591
00:27:52,379 --> 00:27:55,757
said damages,
Mr. Barry Graham...

592
00:27:55,757 --> 00:27:57,801
personally proposed in exchange

593
00:27:57,801 --> 00:27:59,428
for a cash payment
that he would...

594
00:27:59,428 --> 00:28:00,721
Let's see that.

595
00:28:10,314 --> 00:28:11,648
If you can prove any of this,

596
00:28:11,648 --> 00:28:13,817
why don't you go to the police?

597
00:28:13,817 --> 00:28:17,487
Hold on-- hold it
just-- just a minute.

598
00:28:17,487 --> 00:28:18,822
What are we talking about here?

599
00:28:18,822 --> 00:28:20,824
We're talking about grief,
Mr. Graham.

600
00:28:22,659 --> 00:28:23,827
Yours...

601
00:28:25,287 --> 00:28:27,247
your wife's...

602
00:28:27,247 --> 00:28:28,415
your children's.

603
00:28:30,334 --> 00:28:32,961
We're talking about fairness.

604
00:28:36,256 --> 00:28:38,467
Mainly, Mr. Graham...

605
00:28:38,467 --> 00:28:39,801
we're talking about money.

606
00:28:41,845 --> 00:28:42,763
How much money?

607
00:28:53,273 --> 00:28:56,860
Chew on those numbers,
you impotent piece of snot.

608
00:29:03,492 --> 00:29:05,410
Rox? You wanna type this up?

609
00:29:05,410 --> 00:29:06,912
Let's messenger it up to Glazer

610
00:29:06,912 --> 00:29:08,205
for his and Mr. Graham's
signature, okay?

611
00:29:08,205 --> 00:29:09,748
Right away.

612
00:29:09,748 --> 00:29:12,084
Can I get you anything,
Mrs. Graham?

613
00:29:12,084 --> 00:29:15,087
A glass of wine? Coffee?

614
00:29:15,087 --> 00:29:16,630
A new tissue?

615
00:29:16,630 --> 00:29:17,839
I'm fine, thank you.

616
00:29:29,893 --> 00:29:32,938
Well, I guess we socked
it to him pretty good, huh?

617
00:29:34,898 --> 00:29:37,317
I think what you
did was despicable.

618
00:29:37,317 --> 00:29:38,819
I'll never be able to
look at him again

619
00:29:38,819 --> 00:29:40,529
with any kind of respect...

620
00:29:40,529 --> 00:29:43,115
or affection.

621
00:29:43,115 --> 00:29:45,158
Lydia, you came in
here looking for somebody

622
00:29:45,158 --> 00:29:47,119
to do your dirty laundry.
What'd you expect?

623
00:29:47,119 --> 00:29:48,328
Well, it stinks.

624
00:29:48,328 --> 00:29:50,372
Becker: Well, dirty laundry
usually does.

625
00:29:50,372 --> 00:29:52,582
It's messy and it's nasty.

626
00:29:52,582 --> 00:29:54,793
And it churns up
a whole lot of goo.

627
00:29:54,793 --> 00:29:57,129
But it's a hell of
lot more civilized

628
00:29:57,129 --> 00:29:58,839
and a hell of a
lot more lucrative

629
00:29:58,839 --> 00:30:00,549
than putting a bullet
between his ears.

630
00:30:00,549 --> 00:30:01,967
It's all so easy for you.

631
00:30:01,967 --> 00:30:04,720
Just sock it to him
and get the money.

632
00:30:07,180 --> 00:30:09,725
Well, I lost my life.

633
00:30:09,725 --> 00:30:12,310
Lydia:
My children lost a family.

634
00:30:12,310 --> 00:30:15,522
And there's no amount of money
that would compensate for that.

635
00:30:16,481 --> 00:30:17,733
You gonna give it back?

636
00:30:19,651 --> 00:30:22,612
Lydia, maybe you hate me today.

637
00:30:22,612 --> 00:30:23,947
That's understandable.

638
00:30:25,657 --> 00:30:27,075
But two weeks from now,

639
00:30:27,075 --> 00:30:29,411
you're gonna be
recommending me to a friend.

640
00:30:29,411 --> 00:30:32,539
Two months from now, you'll
be inviting me over for dinner.

four hours of root canals.

Hey, what are you supposed
to wear to this party?

646
00:30:52,976 --> 00:30:55,812
I have a very

00:30:55,812 --> 00:30:58,231
- Fine. Yeah.
- Suit and tie for Jim?

648
00:30:58,231 --> 00:31:00,650
Just think of it as a funeral
and you can't go wrong.

- Kelsey: See you tonight.
- Yeah.

00:31:08,867 --> 00:31:11,203
- Go talk to your father.
- You talk to him!

652
00:31:11,203 --> 00:31:14,581
He canceled my credit cards,
my bank account!

653
00:31:14,581 --> 00:31:16,083
Fat slob!

654

Who in the hell
does he think he is?

655
00:31:18,418 --> 00:31:19,878
I can't help you. I'm sorry.

656
00:31:19,878 --> 00:31:23,006
I need money.
I gotta get out of L.A.

657
00:31:23,006 --> 00:31:25,592
You leave, they're gonna
violate your probation.

658
00:31:25,592 --> 00:31:28,386
Well, then you fix it
with my probation officer!

659
00:31:29,638 --> 00:31:31,139
Take your hands off me.

Alright, look.

I'm a lot strung out.

664
00:31:40,107 --> 00:31:41,900
But you better fix
this thing for me.

665
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:44,027
Or someone's gonna get hurt.

666

- That's not too smart.
- Not smart?

You deserve to die.

668

You heard it.
You deserve to die!

669

That crazy broad's
looking to kill me, man.

670
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,874
The gun also
violates your probation.

671
00:31:57,874 --> 00:32:00,210
Well, it beats being dead.

672
00:32:00,210 --> 00:32:01,837
How much money you got?

673
00:32:01,837 --> 00:32:03,922
Not the kind you need.

674
00:32:03,922 --> 00:32:07,134
Give me what you got.
I'll pay you back.

675
00:32:07,134 --> 00:32:08,176
Alright.

676
00:32:10,887 --> 00:32:13,431
How about you give me the gun?

677
00:32:13,431 --> 00:32:15,976
How about you fix things
with my probation officer, huh?

Go away. I'm drinking alone.

686
00:32:46,131 --> 00:32:48,633
Quit pouting. It's not your most
attractive trait.

687
00:32:50,093 --> 00:32:52,095
Real proud of
yourself tonight, huh?

688
00:32:53,889 --> 00:32:55,891
Well, I did my job,
you did yours.

689
00:32:55,891 --> 00:32:58,268
That's the way the system works.

Hell, what went on in
that courtroom was a joke.

00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:13,909
Those animals did it
and they walked.

00:33:15,535 --> 00:33:17,162
I wish she'd blow 'em away.

Hell, I'd buy her a gun.

697
00:33:21,541 --> 00:33:23,126
You're a real drag, Lester.

- I'm going.
- Good.

I don't wanna be

By the way...

to know offhand if...

704
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:48,944
Why?

00:33:48,944 --> 00:33:50,153

I didn't think you high-paid
types worked this late.

Well, I'm expecting a

- My hype.

I was way out of line at lunch.

I don't know.

00:35:45,518 --> 00:35:48,688
Somehow just even having
the lunch was like selling out.

Well, the job's still

00:39:53,766 --> 00:39:55,059
What time?

811
00:39:55,059 --> 00:39:56,978
Early as I can.

812
00:39:56,978 --> 00:39:58,354
Leave the door open.

813
00:39:59,939 --> 00:40:01,649
I promise to wake you.

814
00:40:01,649 --> 00:40:03,776
Kelsey: You've got great
leverage over them

815
00:40:03,776 --> 00:40:05,278
on that Lewis tax audit.

816
00:40:05,278 --> 00:40:07,155
What, hold them
up for a partnership?

817
00:40:07,155 --> 00:40:08,740
- You're damn right.
- Ha-ha.

818
00:40:08,740 --> 00:40:11,159
They'll keep you a backroom
mole 'til you're eighty

819
00:40:11,159 --> 00:40:12,243
if you let 'em get away with it.

820
00:40:12,243 --> 00:40:13,578
I don't know, Annie.

821
00:40:13,578 --> 00:40:15,788
I'm not unhappy
with the way things are.

822
00:40:15,788 --> 00:40:16,998
- Hi.
- Hi.

823
00:40:16,998 --> 00:40:18,833
- I'm sorry to interrupt.
- No problem.

824
00:40:18,833 --> 00:40:20,918
Um, I just got off the phone
with Celia Robinson.

825
00:40:20,918 --> 00:40:23,046
I told her we're
pulling for her.

826
00:40:23,046 --> 00:40:24,964
And I'll be there tomorrow
when she comes out of surgery.

827
00:40:24,964 --> 00:40:28,760
Right at her bedside.
Isn't that just awe-inspiring?

828
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,887
Jim: You know, I'll bet if she
spent half as much time

829
00:40:30,887 --> 00:40:33,932
in bed with me as she
does with this damn client,

830
00:40:33,932 --> 00:40:35,099
we might even have a marriage.

831
00:40:36,809 --> 00:40:38,728
Stuart Markowitz,

832
00:40:38,728 --> 00:40:40,021
Ann Kelsey,

833
00:40:40,021 --> 00:40:41,147
this is my husband, Jim.

834
00:40:41,147 --> 00:40:43,858
Res ipsa loquitor.

835
00:40:43,858 --> 00:40:45,526
I beg your pardon?

836
00:40:45,526 --> 00:40:48,154
Oh, I thought that's
how you lawyer types talk.

837
00:40:48,154 --> 00:40:51,074
But I wouldn't know, being a
mere unemployed house husband.

838
00:40:51,074 --> 00:40:54,285
Jim, stop it.

839
00:40:54,285 --> 00:40:57,080
- You're embarrassing me.
- That's not embarrassing.

840
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,248
[gasp]

841
00:40:59,248 --> 00:41:01,125
That's embarrassing.

842
00:41:01,125 --> 00:41:02,919
[exhales]

843
00:41:02,919 --> 00:41:04,337
Um...

844
00:41:05,254 --> 00:41:07,799
I'm s-- I'm sorry.

845
00:41:07,799 --> 00:41:10,551
He's-- he's just had a little
too much to drink.

846
00:41:12,428 --> 00:41:13,930
Abby?

847
00:41:13,930 --> 00:41:15,348
Please.

848
00:41:16,182 --> 00:41:19,060
[indistinct chatter]

849
00:41:19,060 --> 00:41:21,688
Markowitz: So, Celia Robinson,

850
00:41:21,688 --> 00:41:24,273
that's your-- that's your
bad faith case, isn't it?

851
00:41:24,273 --> 00:41:26,818
Can we please
not talk business?

852
00:41:26,818 --> 00:41:28,403
Sorry.

853
00:41:28,403 --> 00:41:31,072
Celia Robinson
is 35 years old.

854
00:41:31,072 --> 00:41:32,448
She's going into
surgery tomorrow

855
00:41:32,448 --> 00:41:34,075
and she may not come out of it.

856
00:41:34,075 --> 00:41:38,037
And I'm 35 years old and
maybe I'll live past tomorrow.

857
00:41:38,037 --> 00:41:39,372
Let's face it.

858
00:41:39,372 --> 00:41:41,040
None of us gets
out of here alive.

859
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,418
You don't think you're being
a little morbid or anything?

860
00:41:43,418 --> 00:41:45,044
Yes, I am being a little morbid.

861
00:41:45,044 --> 00:41:48,631
You know how many of these
damn annuals I've been to?

862
00:41:48,631 --> 00:41:51,634
- Five. Exactly.
- This is my sixth.

863
00:41:51,634 --> 00:41:54,846
You and I, we spend
our lives every day

864
00:41:54,846 --> 00:41:58,016
of every week of every year
doing this crap.

865
00:41:58,016 --> 00:42:02,020
And I keep feeling one day
my real life is gonna start.

866
00:42:02,020 --> 00:42:03,604
Only this is it.

867
00:42:04,564 --> 00:42:06,899
And, damn it, bottom line,

868
00:42:06,899 --> 00:42:08,276
I'm not happy.

869
00:42:08,276 --> 00:42:10,194
[music continues]

870
00:42:10,194 --> 00:42:11,612
Are you happy, Stuart?

871
00:42:11,612 --> 00:42:14,073
[stammers]
I'm not-- I'm not unhappy.

872
00:42:14,073 --> 00:42:16,701
That's not good enough.

873
00:42:16,701 --> 00:42:18,494
When's the last time you
made love to a woman?

874
00:42:18,494 --> 00:42:20,538
God, Ann, come on.

875
00:42:20,538 --> 00:42:22,081
Don't you think that's
kind of personal?

876
00:42:22,081 --> 00:42:24,083
Yes. When?

877
00:42:24,083 --> 00:42:25,710
Markowitz: That's not something
you go to the supermarket

878
00:42:25,710 --> 00:42:28,046
and buy with your
TV dinner, you know.

879
00:42:28,046 --> 00:42:29,255
When?

880
00:42:33,050 --> 00:42:34,594
Ann, look at me. I...

881
00:42:36,054 --> 00:42:37,221
I am what I am.

882
00:42:38,639 --> 00:42:41,058
I'm short.
No, believe me, I'm short.

883
00:42:41,058 --> 00:42:43,644
You can't tell from where
you're standing, I'm sure.

884
00:42:43,644 --> 00:42:45,688
And I don't do
Nautilus or anything.

885
00:42:46,898 --> 00:42:48,357
I'm-- I'm not...

886
00:42:48,357 --> 00:42:51,235
I'm not sexy and
I bruise easily.

887

[music continues]

888
00:42:53,529 --> 00:42:54,697
And I...

889
00:42:56,115 --> 00:42:57,617
I don't like being turned down.

890
00:42:57,617 --> 00:42:59,786
Good. So you're safe.

891
00:43:01,204 --> 00:43:03,122
We're all so safe here.

892
00:43:07,168 --> 00:43:10,338
[music continues]

[inaudible]

894
00:43:15,384 --> 00:43:17,720
- What?
- You heard me.

895
00:43:19,013 --> 00:43:20,306
Are you bombed?

896
00:43:20,306 --> 00:43:22,308
Don't sell yourself short.

897
00:43:22,308 --> 00:43:24,685
I've had a few,
but I'm not bombed.

898
00:43:26,687 --> 00:43:28,147
Will you?

899
00:43:28,147 --> 00:43:30,566
Ann, i-- if you think
about it, it's not--

900
00:43:30,566 --> 00:43:33,319
Thinking is the
last thing I wanna do.

901
00:43:33,319 --> 00:43:34,779
Come home with me.

902
00:43:39,492 --> 00:43:40,993
I don't know what to say.

903
00:43:40,993 --> 00:43:42,328
Don't say anything.

904
00:43:53,798 --> 00:43:55,424
Schroeder:
Let the record reflect

905
00:43:55,424 --> 00:43:57,343
that a conference
was held in chambers

906
00:43:57,343 --> 00:43:58,886
early this afternoon.

907
00:43:58,886 --> 00:44:01,806
Amongst and between
the defendants, their attorneys

908
00:44:01,806 --> 00:44:04,350
and the representative
from the D.A.'s office.

909
00:44:04,350 --> 00:44:07,436
Based on my understanding
of the facts in this matter,

910
00:44:07,436 --> 00:44:09,188
and the apparent
problems of proof,

911
00:44:09,188 --> 00:44:12,775
it is appropriate to reach
a pretrial disposition.

912
00:44:12,775 --> 00:44:15,486
Mr. Pregerson, do
you wish to waive your

913
00:44:15,486 --> 00:44:19,198
constitutional right and enter
a plea of guilty at this time

914
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:21,576
to Penal Code Section 245?

915
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:26,122
Yeah. Guilty.

916
00:44:26,122 --> 00:44:28,040
Schroeder: Mr. Dollar?

917
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:29,083
Dollar: Guilty.

918
00:44:29,083 --> 00:44:30,209
Schroeder: Mr. Garcia?

919
00:44:30,209 --> 00:44:31,961
Garcia: Guilty.

920
00:44:31,961 --> 00:44:34,797
Does counsel join in
these pleas and waivers?

921
00:44:34,797 --> 00:44:36,299
- Yes, Your Honor.
- Yes, Your Honor.

922
00:44:36,299 --> 00:44:39,594
Very well. Defendants' plea of
guilty is accepted

923
00:44:39,594 --> 00:44:41,387
with an indicated sentence of

924
00:44:41,387 --> 00:44:44,891
eighteen months in the state
prison facility at Vacaville.

925
00:44:44,891 --> 00:44:48,019
Schroeder: Formal sentencing
set in Department 145,

926
00:44:48,019 --> 00:44:50,021
September 19, 9 a.m.

I know that as things go...

930
00:45:17,256 --> 00:45:19,759
eighteen months is not
a very long time.

931
00:45:21,636 --> 00:45:24,805
As things go, it's a
lot better than nothing.

932
00:45:26,098 --> 00:45:27,433
Look...

933

Here's my card.

If you ever need a lawyer.

If you need a friend,

please don't hesitate to call...

for anything.

- Hey, Mike. How'd it go?
- Stuart, Douglas.

Yes, he arrived this afternoon.

942
00:46:06,514 --> 00:46:08,307
No. I'm sorry.
He's gone for the day.

943
00:46:08,307 --> 00:46:10,268
Yes, I'll have him call
you in the morning.

944
00:46:10,268 --> 00:46:11,519
Thank you. Goodnight.

945
00:46:12,645 --> 00:46:14,689
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight, Iris.

[clears throat]

947
00:46:31,414 --> 00:46:33,541
How'd it go?

948
00:46:33,541 --> 00:46:37,378
Kuzak: All three of them copped
to single counts of assault.

949
00:46:37,378 --> 00:46:39,672
How much time did they pull?

950
00:46:39,672 --> 00:46:41,966
Not much. 18 months.

951
00:46:44,010 --> 00:46:46,721
I suspect young Pregerson
is gonna find out

952
00:46:46,721 --> 00:46:49,598
more about the crime of
rape in those 18 months

953
00:46:49,598 --> 00:46:51,726
than he bargained for.

954
00:46:51,726 --> 00:46:53,310
I suspect you're right.

955
00:46:55,563 --> 00:46:57,606
Word is, you were

956
00:46:57,606 --> 00:47:01,193
doing the prosecution's job.

957
00:47:01,193 --> 00:47:03,446
Well, I let the cops know
he was a ticking bomb.

958
00:47:03,446 --> 00:47:05,948
They did the rest.

959
00:47:05,948 --> 00:47:09,702
That's a pretty thin line,
ethics-wise.

960
00:47:09,702 --> 00:47:11,412
If I stepped over it...

961
00:47:11,412 --> 00:47:13,789
which, by the way,
I don't think I did...

962
00:47:15,583 --> 00:47:16,584
I'll live with it.

963
00:47:18,753 --> 00:47:21,005
I'm having dinner
with Martin Garver.

964
00:47:21,005 --> 00:47:23,591
- Care to join?
- Ah, I'll pass.

965
00:47:23,591 --> 00:47:26,552
I got a mountain
of work I gotta do.

966
00:47:26,552 --> 00:47:27,928
For what it's worth...

967
00:47:29,930 --> 00:47:33,559
I might argue your
ethics in this case.

968
00:47:33,559 --> 00:47:34,977
But I admire your conscience.

969
