That's not gonna happen. Then we got another problem. 12 00:00:29,980 --> 00:00:33,420 See, the grandmother that was raped, we showed her your picture. With others, of 13 00:00:33,420 --> 00:00:38,320 course.

But why would they warn of spikes if they hadn't actually spiked 380 00:23:10,260 --> 00:23:13,780 trees? Well, you just got to understand these Redwood warriors. 381 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,220 You see, their whole mission is to put loggers out of business, so they'll do 382 00:23:17,220 --> 00:23:18,800 anything to cost me time and money. 383 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:19,839 Such as? 384 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,060 Well, such as damaging vehicles and equipment. 385 00:23:23,830 --> 00:23:27,730 causing downtime by burying themselves in a road and chaining themselves in 386 00:23:27,730 --> 00:23:31,010 trees?

That's right. But didn't you know tree spikers nip the 402 00:24:10,620 --> 00:24:12,620 heads off nails so they can't be detected? 403 00:24:12,820 --> 00:24:14,580 That's why they also had metal detectors. 404 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,740 But aren't ceramic spikes sometimes used? 405 00:24:17,940 --> 00:24:21,660 Well, sometimes they drill holes in trees and pour rocks in.

Meaning you went through and leveled every 2 ,000 -year 428 00:25:27,610 --> 00:25:28,830 tree? And replanted. 429 00:25:29,250 --> 00:25:31,050 As mandated by the Forest Service. 430 00:25:31,250 --> 00:25:32,250 Yeah? How's it doing?

I haven't seen it recently. 433 00:25:35,860 --> 00:25:38,980 So you haven't seen where mudslides washed away your reseeding along with 434 00:25:38,980 --> 00:25:39,980 feet of topsoil? 435 00:25:40,380 --> 00:25:43,660 Objection! Is my client responsible for flash flood? You didn't leave anything 436 00:25:43,660 --> 00:25:47,280 to hold the soil. You're out of order. Your client is responsible for deciding 437 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,900 to cut that timber come hell or high water. That's enough. 438 00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:54,020 Move on. Why were you in such a rush to harvest this old growth, Mr. Ed? 439 00:25:54,360 --> 00:25:55,580 Objection! I'll rephrase. 440 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,920 Isn't it true you were racing to beat a court injunction to preserve that stand? 441 00:26:00,120 --> 00:26:01,120 We're always racing. 442 00:26:01,470 --> 00:26:03,110 We loggers have given and given. 443 00:26:03,550 --> 00:26:07,150 We lose the old growth, and then they start hollering about water quality and 444 00:26:07,150 --> 00:26:08,610 spotted owls and habitat. 445 00:26:09,010 --> 00:26:13,010 Now, look, all I do is supply a demand and put food on my family's table. How 446 00:26:13,010 --> 00:26:16,110 much demand was there for the tree being milled when Mr. Paul was injured?

Withdrawn, nothing further. 452 00:26:33,580 --> 00:26:37,160 You ought to ask Tasha about that. When Tasha answers, I hear you talking. 453 00:26:37,540 --> 00:26:40,420 So I figured maybe that meant you were the one with something to say. 454 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,340 I'm busy here. Yeah, word is you're very busy. 455 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,460 Word is Iceman wants his men on the street to really hustle. 456 00:26:46,780 --> 00:26:50,420 You know, I figure if a guy wants to get mixed up in a bunch of crap, what is 457 00:26:50,420 --> 00:26:54,680 that to me? But if he drags in a girl, I'm supposed to be defending. Nobody 458 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,700 drags Tasha no place. Oh, so she wants to be sitting in Simple Brand right now 459 00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:01,080 like a rock house toss -up? You got a car needs work. 460 00:27:01,550 --> 00:27:03,590 Because if you don't, you come a long way for nothing. 461 00:27:03,790 --> 00:27:06,810 No. I come here to tell you you got a problem, man. 462 00:27:07,190 --> 00:27:10,310 I mean, you did okay getting the apartment and making sure that Tasha's 463 00:27:10,310 --> 00:27:13,450 alone was on the lease. But you screwed up when it came to the location. 464 00:27:13,870 --> 00:27:16,090 She's within a thousand feet of a school, huh? 465 00:27:16,330 --> 00:27:18,810 So? So no court's gonna bargain that away. 466 00:27:19,230 --> 00:27:21,890 If you were thinking she'd do, what, maybe six months? 467 00:27:22,450 --> 00:27:24,090 Uh -uh. Try years. 468 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:26,179 Get out of here. 469 00:27:26,180 --> 00:27:29,060 You're going to have to find a new mama to front for you if you're going to stay 470 00:27:29,060 --> 00:27:32,800 in the light. You don't know my life. I've seen your rap sheet that deals the 471 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,060 crazy money to customize baby beds. 472 00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:38,360 Pal, you were cruising around in one of these before you were old enough to get 473 00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:42,040 a license. Maybe I was, but now I make five freaking bucks an hour working 474 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,520 And you're moonlight behind the scale. 475 00:27:44,820 --> 00:27:45,940 Oz, you're a player. 476 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,260 I'm a damn babysitter. 477 00:27:47,540 --> 00:27:51,000 Yeah, Iceman leaves his product in my freezer off and on. Only way I can make 478 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,000 rent. 479 00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:54,320 What do you want me to say, man? 480 00:27:59,980 --> 00:28:03,660 Mr. Snyder, as leader of the Redwood Warriors, haven't you given numerous 481 00:28:03,660 --> 00:28:07,060 speeches advocating tree spiking? I never advocated violence. 482 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,140 But you understood the danger. I mean, that was the whole point of using the 483 00:28:11,140 --> 00:28:12,360 spikes, right? No. 484 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,820 The point was to act as a deterrent. 485 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,080 That's why I always stressed marking trees and sending warnings. 486 00:28:18,340 --> 00:28:22,880 You thought six -inch spikes of galvanized steel could be driven into 487 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:27,600 were headed for saw blades moving 8 ,000 board feet per minute without the risk 488 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:28,880 of a worker being injured? 489 00:28:29,100 --> 00:28:32,480 I thought that the presence of spikes would prevent giant sequoias from being 490 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:33,740 milled. But you were mistaken. 491 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,540 The only mistake I made was overestimating the logging company's 492 00:28:37,540 --> 00:28:38,540 safety of workers. 493 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,800 A man was injured by one of your spikes. 494 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,440 Objection. Not a shred of evidence has been produced that links this spike to 495 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:45,500 my... client. Sustain. 496 00:28:46,180 --> 00:28:50,480 Mr. Snyder, what was the motto which you wrote for the Redwood Warriors? 497 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:51,960 Equal rights for Mother Earth. 498 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,160 What does that mean? 499 00:28:54,140 --> 00:28:57,800 The natural world doesn't exist solely for human beings to exploit. 500 00:28:58,180 --> 00:29:01,980 All forms of life have an inherent value. But equal value. 501 00:29:02,300 --> 00:29:07,480 So the loss of a tree, for example, is worth the loss of a man's arm. 502 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,840 That's not a fair comparison. 503 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,019 I agree. 504 00:29:11,020 --> 00:29:12,020 It's not fair. 505 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:13,560 Nothing further. 506 00:29:16,010 --> 00:29:21,970 Mr. Snyder, weren't you twice discovered trespassing on the Salt Fork Tract? I 507 00:29:21,970 --> 00:29:24,590 was being taken a walk in the woods. And on the first day of harvesting, were 508 00:29:24,590 --> 00:29:27,410 you arrested for chaining yourself to a crawler tractor at the site? 509 00:29:27,630 --> 00:29:29,030 That's why I couldn't have spiked anything. 510 00:29:29,410 --> 00:29:30,430 I was all tied up. 511 00:29:31,070 --> 00:29:32,070 Move to strike. 512 00:29:32,150 --> 00:29:33,089 So moved. 513 00:29:33,090 --> 00:29:34,450 The jury will disregard. 514 00:29:35,270 --> 00:29:38,490 Mr. Snyder, stick to answering the questions asked. 515 00:29:38,750 --> 00:29:43,070 At the time of your arrest, did police confiscate from you a box of nails? From 516 00:29:43,070 --> 00:29:44,070 the toolbox in my truck. 517 00:29:44,540 --> 00:29:46,760 I'm a carpenter. Nothing more for now. 518 00:29:50,420 --> 00:29:54,560 Mr. Snyder, are you indeed a spokesman for the Redwood Warriors? 519 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,040 I'm proud of it. Were you always an environmental radical? The evolution of 520 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,180 man's philosophy is not relevant. Miss Kelsey is the one who opened the door to 521 00:30:02,180 --> 00:30:04,160 intention, Your Honor. I'll allow the question. 522 00:30:05,260 --> 00:30:10,420 After ten years in the environmental movement, I realized nothing's changed. 523 00:30:12,140 --> 00:30:17,260 We're still devastating old -growth forests at the unchecked rate of 70 ,000 524 00:30:17,260 --> 00:30:18,260 acres a year. 525 00:30:19,100 --> 00:30:23,860 At that rate, there'll be no virgin woods left in this state in 20 years. 526 00:30:24,420 --> 00:30:29,200 Well, certainly we all like trees, Mr. Snyder, but aren't your tactics extreme? 527 00:30:29,580 --> 00:30:32,000 This isn't just about the beauty of primal forests. 528 00:30:32,300 --> 00:30:34,440 It's about our survival on this planet. 529 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,460 These old -growth ecosystems clean the air, protect the watershed. 530 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:45,900 Our tactics may seem extreme, but the systematic annihilation of our 531 00:30:45,900 --> 00:30:49,660 wasn't fazed by any less extreme action. Objection. This isn't an answer. It's a 532 00:30:49,660 --> 00:30:50,639 prepared sermon. 533 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,560 Sustain. One more question. 534 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,360 Do you believe that any means justify the end in protecting these ancient 535 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:58,560 forests? No. 536 00:30:59,740 --> 00:31:03,160 But as citizens, the wilderness is part of our home. 537 00:31:03,740 --> 00:31:06,760 And just like you'd defend your home if somebody broke in, I want to protect 538 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:07,760 these woods. 539 00:31:07,820 --> 00:31:09,940 But I advocate only nonviolent tactics. 540 00:31:10,650 --> 00:31:11,650 Thank you. 541 00:31:11,930 --> 00:31:13,650 One further question, Mr. Snyder. 542 00:31:14,330 --> 00:31:16,790 Would you describe Mr. Paul's injury as nonviolent? 543 00:31:19,430 --> 00:31:20,430 No, I would not. 544 00:31:20,790 --> 00:31:21,790 Nothing further. 545 00:31:22,270 --> 00:31:25,510 We rest, Your Honor. In that case, I move for a directed verdict. 546 00:31:26,110 --> 00:31:29,390 The plaintiff and co -defensive failed to present a prima facie case against my 547 00:31:29,390 --> 00:31:33,010 client. Your Honor, Mr. Dillon's client admits to the advocating of the spiking 548 00:31:33,010 --> 00:31:36,930 of trees. He was seen on the property. Sorry, Miss Kelsey, but I agree with Mr. 549 00:31:37,050 --> 00:31:40,610 Dillon. Your Honor, if you dismiss this co -defendant, you will be removing the 550 00:31:40,610 --> 00:31:44,390 party who maliciously and criminally began the chain of events which led to 551 00:31:44,390 --> 00:31:48,330 action. As much as I would like to have the party who spiked this tree held 552 00:31:48,330 --> 00:31:52,630 liable for his or her actions, the court hasn't heard any evidence that could 553 00:31:52,630 --> 00:31:55,490 reasonably link this defendant to this spike. 554 00:31:56,300 --> 00:31:58,820 Accordingly, Mr. Snyder is dismissed from this lawsuit. 555 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,380 Here are the Spidell contracts. 556 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:10,840 Leave them on my desk. 557 00:32:15,220 --> 00:32:16,900 Maybe you should go home early. 558 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,840 Don't push yourself on your first day back. 559 00:32:20,660 --> 00:32:22,760 Have you ever ridden a horse, Roxanne? 560 00:32:23,820 --> 00:32:26,960 When I was a girl, I loved to ride. 561 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,180 The horses didn't frighten you? 562 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,160 No. 563 00:32:32,620 --> 00:32:37,020 I wanted to be a cowboy until I was six. 564 00:32:37,860 --> 00:32:40,480 Then my mother took me to a stable near Griffith Park. 565 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:42,840 The horses were huge. 566 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:44,960 They didn't look that big in the movies. 567 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,160 I wouldn't go near them, much less get on one. 568 00:32:49,380 --> 00:32:53,280 And in one crushing instant, I knew I was too... 569 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:54,860 Frightened to be a cowboy. 570 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,000 I was a coward. 571 00:32:59,500 --> 00:33:03,240 Fortunately, my father had other career plans for me. 572 00:33:04,140 --> 00:33:08,400 Well, I think you make a much better attorney than you would have made a 573 00:33:10,500 --> 00:33:12,120 But I don't think you're a coward. 574 00:33:15,140 --> 00:33:18,280 Are you still afraid of horses? 575 00:33:18,500 --> 00:33:19,620 I avoid horses. 576 00:33:36,510 --> 00:33:38,470 This is not a city. 577 00:33:39,110 --> 00:33:44,070 A city is a place where one can walk outside and hail a taxi. 578 00:33:44,390 --> 00:33:49,530 You are five hours late because you couldn't get a taxi. I apologise for 579 00:33:49,530 --> 00:33:52,750 dinner. I'm not disturbing anything. Yes, we're asleep. 580 00:33:53,290 --> 00:33:54,290 I won't wake him. 581 00:33:55,730 --> 00:33:56,730 Her? 582 00:33:58,130 --> 00:34:01,450 Don't tell me... It's probably the third option. Were you this drunk at your 583 00:34:01,450 --> 00:34:05,270 audition? Audition? It's a bloody cattle call when they let the phones ring 584 00:34:05,270 --> 00:34:08,969 through. Oh, let me guess. After Bloom went out of the way, you make a scene 585 00:34:08,969 --> 00:34:09,969 offend everyone. 586 00:34:10,290 --> 00:34:12,989 They were semi -literate snot noses. 587 00:34:13,730 --> 00:34:17,150 And they wanted the character played for laughs. Oh, look, it's late, huh? 588 00:34:17,650 --> 00:34:21,190 What about a little drop of something? No, no more to drink. 589 00:34:21,489 --> 00:34:22,489 Oh, it was so hard. 590 00:34:23,090 --> 00:34:24,090 Now, Josh. 591 00:34:25,290 --> 00:34:26,850 Yes, well, someone had to be. 592 00:34:27,230 --> 00:34:31,830 How you could choose law over an honourable life in the theatre. 593 00:34:33,670 --> 00:34:34,670 Killed your mother. 594 00:34:38,510 --> 00:34:43,030 Daddy, you do this to yourself and I am not going to wallow around in it with 595 00:34:43,030 --> 00:34:44,150 you. Come on, it's late. 596 00:34:44,670 --> 00:34:46,590 I'm too tired and it gets us nowhere. 597 00:34:47,110 --> 00:34:48,110 Come on. 598 00:34:49,290 --> 00:34:54,130 Go and sleep it off. I come to you utterly, utterly alone. 599 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:59,020 My career in a shambles. My very soul in peril. 600 00:35:00,500 --> 00:35:02,520 You can't give me an inch. 601 00:35:07,620 --> 00:35:08,660 There you go, Dad. 602 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:10,780 That's all you ever needed. 603 00:35:16,020 --> 00:35:20,160 I thought you wanted them out of the case. 604 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,900 I wanted the case severed. I didn't want him walking away free. Now the jury's 605 00:35:23,900 --> 00:35:24,589 heard from him. 606 00:35:24,590 --> 00:35:27,950 So those bastards break the law, and I pay the bill. 607 00:35:28,430 --> 00:35:30,570 We can settle without admitting negligence. 608 00:35:31,310 --> 00:35:32,510 They got to you, didn't they? 609 00:35:33,290 --> 00:35:36,170 Those damn spikers have got you thinking that it's my fault. 610 00:35:36,410 --> 00:35:40,310 Mr. Eder, I'm making a professional recommendation that we be flexible. No, 611 00:35:40,310 --> 00:35:44,550 it. The Redwood Warriors don't compromise. They wage war, and they walk 612 00:35:44,550 --> 00:35:45,550 here scot -free. 613 00:35:45,750 --> 00:35:47,970 Well, I'll be damned if I lay down and take the blame. 614 00:35:52,430 --> 00:35:57,650 Slow down, Mr... Listen, I'm sure that Mr Jackson's offer was intended... Look, 615 00:35:57,670 --> 00:35:58,670 can I call you back? 616 00:36:00,570 --> 00:36:01,630 Bad idea, Dad. 617 00:36:02,170 --> 00:36:05,130 The food of thy abusive father's wrath. 618 00:36:05,770 --> 00:36:10,290 Would I but live to see thee in my touch. 619 00:36:10,510 --> 00:36:14,430 Stop it. I'd say I had eyes again. A light. 620 00:36:15,290 --> 00:36:16,290 A light. 621 00:36:17,770 --> 00:36:19,250 You think this is what I want? 622 00:36:19,670 --> 00:36:20,750 Flowers and sonnets? 623 00:36:20,990 --> 00:36:21,990 A sonnet? 624 00:36:22,230 --> 00:36:23,870 The sonnet is from Lear. 625 00:36:24,690 --> 00:36:29,710 I was trying to tell you I got a job. As you know how I feel about Shakespeare 626 00:36:29,710 --> 00:36:33,110 on film, but I've always loved Gloucester. 627 00:36:33,490 --> 00:36:35,010 What do you think, Dad? 628 00:36:35,350 --> 00:36:37,670 I'll go to her office. She won't throw me out there. 629 00:36:38,270 --> 00:36:42,950 Well, I couldn't leave town without apologising, could I? This isn't an 630 00:36:43,110 --> 00:36:44,770 It's a bloody grand entrance. 631 00:36:45,170 --> 00:36:46,270 Right, right. 632 00:36:47,330 --> 00:36:50,430 Last night was an unfortunate lapse. 633 00:36:51,240 --> 00:36:53,440 I threw you out, and I meant it. 634 00:36:54,020 --> 00:36:55,860 Do you mean you don't want me in your life? 635 00:36:58,940 --> 00:37:01,460 I don't want you in my office, ever. 636 00:37:02,060 --> 00:37:05,320 I don't want you using my friends or my business relationships. 637 00:37:05,700 --> 00:37:10,160 And I don't want you dropping by whenever you're on a bender, ever. 638 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,400 I'm an old dog, Kara. 639 00:37:14,700 --> 00:37:16,240 It's hard to learn new tricks. 640 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:21,940 And his laughable attempts to stay sober are partly because of you. 641 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,760 It occurred to me that it might be of some help. 642 00:37:31,100 --> 00:37:34,860 Well, we're shooting in New York. I am on my way. 643 00:37:35,980 --> 00:37:37,580 Give me a call when you get there. 644 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,160 Anyway, who's shooting another Lear? 645 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,820 Well, it's not actually Lear. 646 00:37:43,340 --> 00:37:45,440 A client of Susan's makes commercials. 647 00:37:46,830 --> 00:37:50,830 A light, a light, a light beer. 648 00:37:53,710 --> 00:37:55,510 Hey, have a good trip, Dad. 649 00:38:01,510 --> 00:38:06,550 And in the face of this known risk, not only did Humboldt Logging conduct a 650 00:38:06,550 --> 00:38:11,630 cursory investigation, they also failed to warn the sawmill of a possible 651 00:38:11,630 --> 00:38:16,210 threat. Why would they act with such... Callous disregard. 652 00:38:18,370 --> 00:38:23,390 Because it would have cost them time and money. 653 00:38:24,130 --> 00:38:30,510 Wayne Paul worked on the line in the sawmills for 17 years. Apart from his 654 00:38:30,510 --> 00:38:32,670 service in the army, it's the only job he'd known. 655 00:38:32,890 --> 00:38:35,350 It was a hard job, but he did it well. 656 00:38:36,610 --> 00:38:41,810 And like his father and his grandfather before him, Wayne expected it to be a 657 00:38:41,810 --> 00:38:42,810 job for life. 658 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:51,600 Mr. Paul paid dearly for Humboldt Locking's greed and negligence. 659 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,320 He looked to you for justice. 660 00:39:01,700 --> 00:39:06,160 None of us can imagine the horror of sustaining an injury as critical as Mr. 661 00:39:06,260 --> 00:39:12,220 Paul's. But we can sympathize with him as a victim of an unjust and violent 662 00:39:12,220 --> 00:39:17,020 accident. Humboldt logging also sympathizes, especially since it has 663 00:39:17,020 --> 00:39:20,520 been the target of the Redwood Warriors' destructive and criminal acts. 664 00:39:22,100 --> 00:39:26,620 Radical groups like the Redwood Warriors admit to being saboteurs, advocates of 665 00:39:26,620 --> 00:39:30,980 hit -and -run tactics, and true to form, they have vanished before we begin to 666 00:39:30,980 --> 00:39:31,980 address responsibility. 667 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,160 But Mr. Eder did not build a family business by hit -and -run tactics. 668 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:41,260 My client is the only one who sits before you today, ladies and gentlemen. 669 00:39:42,410 --> 00:39:45,770 And in the absence of the true wrongdoers, the plaintiff hopes that you 670 00:39:45,770 --> 00:39:47,470 find him a convenient scapegoat. 671 00:39:48,270 --> 00:39:51,750 The plaintiff suggests that Humboldt logging acted out of greed. 672 00:39:52,990 --> 00:39:56,590 This may be an easy caricature for some of us to accept. Some of us already 673 00:39:56,590 --> 00:39:58,610 blame the loggers for the vanishing forests. 674 00:39:59,190 --> 00:40:03,150 We may already have made them the scapegoats for our society's 675 00:40:03,150 --> 00:40:04,530 demand for wood and paper. 676 00:40:05,710 --> 00:40:08,690 But in suggesting that Humboldt logging acted out of greed, 677 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,120 The plaintiff implies that tree spiking injuries are predictable and 678 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:18,220 commonplace. The truth is, only one other injury from the spiking of trees 679 00:40:18,220 --> 00:40:19,260 ever been documented. 680 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:24,640 Personal injury from the shattering of a blade against a spike is so uncommon as 681 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,120 to be called a freak occurrence. 682 00:40:26,620 --> 00:40:31,600 My client took every reasonable step to investigate the warnings that he 683 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:32,760 received, and he found nothing. 684 00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:35,760 He could not have foreseen this accident. 685 00:40:36,140 --> 00:40:40,950 Please. Don't compound Mr. Paul's tragedy by creating a scapegoat. 686 00:40:54,150 --> 00:40:59,190 Well, it means the DA has dropped the charges against you. You're free to go. 687 00:41:01,260 --> 00:41:03,560 Let's go. Move it. I told you I don't need you to pull him off. What the hell? 688 00:41:03,660 --> 00:41:05,140 It's not your fight anymore. 689 00:41:05,540 --> 00:41:08,100 What did you do? He had no right to make you take the rap. 690 00:41:08,540 --> 00:41:10,440 Nobody makes me do anything. 691 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,260 Oz and I had it figured. He was working his way clean. He had an eighth of a 692 00:41:14,260 --> 00:41:17,340 kilo of cocaine. It ain't that easy to get out. 693 00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:19,260 You have no idea. 694 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,280 That's the only work anybody's out there begging Oz to take. 695 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,160 Because on the streets, they know how smart he is. 696 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,700 He was getting out. We had ourselves a goal until you came along. 697 00:41:30,900 --> 00:41:33,200 It wasn't your fight. It was our fight. 698 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,440 The man I love, don't you get that? 699 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:41,180 Now he'll do hard time, get hooked all over again. They don't want him. They 700 00:41:41,180 --> 00:41:43,240 want his connection. He can make a deal. 701 00:41:44,100 --> 00:41:45,540 You don't know us. 702 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:48,520 And you don't know me. 703 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,240 Sorry, Tommy. He's not going to talk. 704 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,640 Mr. Foreman, has the jury arrived at a verdict? 705 00:42:09,900 --> 00:42:10,900 We have, Your Honor. 706 00:42:10,940 --> 00:42:11,919 What say you? 707 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,060 In the matter of Paul v. 708 00:42:13,380 --> 00:42:17,900 Humboldt logging, we find in favor of the plaintiff. And we ordered a 709 00:42:17,900 --> 00:42:22,700 to pay compensatory damages in the amount of $450 ,000. 710 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:24,480 Thank you. 711 00:42:24,740 --> 00:42:26,600 Ladies and gentlemen, we're adjourned. 712 00:42:29,569 --> 00:42:30,569 Thank you. 713 00:42:31,950 --> 00:42:35,630 Stick around to see the blood. 714 00:42:36,330 --> 00:42:39,710 Litigation junkie. I don't admire your politics, but I like your work. You 715 00:42:39,710 --> 00:42:42,690 know anything about my politics. I know you keep your politics out of your work, 716 00:42:42,710 --> 00:42:45,450 and that's a shame.
