1 00:00:01,119 --> 00:00:04,960 Previously on L .A. Law. I've sat by and watched as this place has changed. 2 00:00:05,260 --> 00:00:09,240 People have dissipated their time and wasted their talent. You have all 3 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:13,080 other enterprises and neglected the one that this place was built on. Leland. 4 00:00:13,180 --> 00:00:18,140 I'm not done. This, ladies and gentlemen, is a law office. So you're 5 00:00:18,140 --> 00:00:22,120 to have to do a little soul -searching. I want to see all partners in my office 6 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,700 today. I will expect either a commitment or a resignation. 7 00:00:26,740 --> 00:00:27,578 I'm in. 8 00:00:27,580 --> 00:00:29,000 Whatever you need from me, Leland. 9 00:00:29,370 --> 00:00:30,670 You got it. That goes for me, too. 10 00:00:31,050 --> 00:00:33,390 That goes for both of us. What about you, Arnold? 11 00:00:34,030 --> 00:00:35,030 You've got me, Leland. 12 00:00:35,630 --> 00:00:36,750 100%. Good. 13 00:00:37,470 --> 00:00:38,670 I want to have a baby. 14 00:00:38,970 --> 00:00:40,910 Oh, well, you'll make a terrific mother. 15 00:00:41,130 --> 00:00:42,130 With you. 16 00:00:42,990 --> 00:00:45,650 No one should become a parent unless they're ready. Right. 17 00:00:45,950 --> 00:00:48,650 Goes without saying. Now I know what to do. Seems clear. 18 00:00:48,890 --> 00:00:51,050 Crystal. You shouldn't have the baby with Roxanne. I'm having the baby with 19 00:00:51,050 --> 00:00:52,050 Roxanne. 20 00:00:52,410 --> 00:00:53,410 What is this? 21 00:00:53,710 --> 00:00:55,370 Took a home pregnancy test. 22 00:00:55,790 --> 00:00:56,870 We're going to have a baby. 23 00:00:57,210 --> 00:00:58,210 We're going to have a baby. 24 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:01,480 See ya. 25 00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:03,520 Oh, I almost forgot. 26 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,500 He's never too early for him to work on his three -point shot. 27 00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:09,820 I thought you wanted a girl. 28 00:01:16,330 --> 00:01:20,750 It never fails to amaze me that people actually think they can get away with 29 00:01:20,750 --> 00:01:21,509 these things. 30 00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:24,450 Mr. Pig, nobody's trying to get away with anything. If errors were made in 31 00:01:24,450 --> 00:01:28,530 calculating Ms. Baumann's tax return, we're here to rectify those errors. Come 32 00:01:28,530 --> 00:01:30,330 on, Mr. Markowitz, I wasn't born yesterday. 33 00:01:30,730 --> 00:01:31,609 What does that mean? 34 00:01:31,610 --> 00:01:34,310 It means that this isn't someone who makes errors. 35 00:01:34,830 --> 00:01:40,010 This is someone who calculates long and hard to conceal, connive, and defraud. 36 00:01:40,190 --> 00:01:43,350 This is someone who actually thinks that she doesn't have to pay her rightful 37 00:01:43,350 --> 00:01:45,130 share of taxes to the United States government. 38 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,780 and I find that absolutely intolerable. Mr. Pick, this entire problem can be 39 00:01:49,780 --> 00:01:51,540 attributed to Ms. Bauman's former accountant. 40 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,180 I don't buy that. It appears that in addition to a significant amount of 41 00:01:56,180 --> 00:02:01,480 unreported personal income, your client was using corporate employees to perform 42 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,340 a variety of distinctly non -business -related functions. 43 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:05,880 Wait a minute. 44 00:02:06,430 --> 00:02:11,290 I embody my company. What affects me affects my employees. This is all 45 00:02:11,290 --> 00:02:12,290 -related. 46 00:02:12,710 --> 00:02:13,950 You're kidding me, right? 47 00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:15,170 No, I'm not kidding you. 48 00:02:15,450 --> 00:02:19,050 I would appreciate it if you would tell your client to stop wasting my time. We 49 00:02:19,050 --> 00:02:21,770 have tax returns for the last ten years. Where do you want to start? I didn't 50 00:02:21,770 --> 00:02:26,930 build my business on vitamins and nutrient supplements alone, Mr. Pick. 51 00:02:27,310 --> 00:02:28,470 I built it on stamina. 52 00:02:28,890 --> 00:02:30,090 I built it on guts. 53 00:02:30,650 --> 00:02:35,430 And I built it by adhering to a personal philosophy that does not allow me to 54 00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:36,850 become intimidated by anyone. 55 00:02:37,390 --> 00:02:39,570 So, uh, Mr. Pickett's just trying to do his job. 56 00:02:39,810 --> 00:02:44,210 That's right. And my job is to enforce the tax code. 57 00:02:44,690 --> 00:02:45,690 I enforce. 58 00:02:46,230 --> 00:02:47,230 You comply. 59 00:02:47,570 --> 00:02:49,010 You're not a well man, Marvin. 60 00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:54,890 You work in this miserable office. You drink coffee. And you smoke. 61 00:02:55,740 --> 00:02:59,960 And your diet, it's high in fat, it's low in fiber, it's not nearly dense 62 00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:00,918 in nutrients. 63 00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:05,540 And I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if your body wasn't ravaged by 64 00:03:05,540 --> 00:03:06,660 intestinal parasites. 65 00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:09,060 You know what? You're right. 66 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:10,780 I drink coffee. 67 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,200 I smoke. 68 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:17,440 I only eat things that are bad for me. And with all that, I'm still healthy 69 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:18,820 enough to bring you to your knees. 70 00:03:19,260 --> 00:03:21,680 Me and my parasites. 71 00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:24,120 You want to know what healthy is? 72 00:03:24,540 --> 00:03:27,500 I'll tell you what healthy is. How old do you think I am? 73 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,220 I have no idea. I'm 75 years old. 74 00:03:31,460 --> 00:03:32,339 You're 75? 75 00:03:32,340 --> 00:03:39,120 The reason that I don't look my age is because I have a healthy, life 76 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,800 attitude toward everybody and everything. 77 00:03:41,020 --> 00:03:45,220 It comes from being at peace with myself and from being at peace with the whole 78 00:03:45,220 --> 00:03:46,920 world. I'm 75. 79 00:03:47,660 --> 00:03:51,780 And I'll live to dance on this little pissant's grave. 80 00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:53,300 Stuart, Gwen. 81 00:03:53,870 --> 00:03:54,950 You know where to reach me. 82 00:03:56,050 --> 00:03:59,950 And I know that I shall be hearing from you very soon. 83 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,880 Can we get started? Just start. I'm starting. People versus map. 84 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,080 Yes, yes, that's mine. Matt is accused of selling stolen artwork to an 85 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,720 undercover cop. I'm pleading entrapment. That's a tough sell. 86 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,280 I know it is. He had the stolen artwork in his possession? 87 00:06:19,580 --> 00:06:24,400 He did. And he sold it to the cop? Yep. So where's the entrapment? Well, my 88 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,000 client's gay. He claims to have fallen for the cop. He also claims that it was 89 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,300 mutual. I say, for the purposes of this trial at least, that the cop seduced 90 00:06:32,300 --> 00:06:33,820 him. In other words, it's your only shot. 91 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:34,859 Yes, right. 92 00:06:34,860 --> 00:06:38,040 Then it must be true. In the matter of Celeste Bauman. Yes, that's me. 93 00:06:38,300 --> 00:06:42,080 Miss Bauman has a company that markets vitamins and dietary supplements. 94 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:47,480 The IRS claims that she has underpaid her taxes by some $800 ,000 and for some 95 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,060 reason they're being nasty about it. The IRS nasty? 96 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,280 Celeste is going to need a little managing, but I think we can resolve it. 97 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,160 Gwen, you're observing on this one, correct? 98 00:06:55,460 --> 00:06:57,440 Yep. Our neat Jack Lawler's here. 99 00:06:58,340 --> 00:07:00,920 I gotta go. How are you feeling, Roxanne? Pretty good. 100 00:07:01,310 --> 00:07:03,390 Everything going all right vis -a -vis the pregnancy? 101 00:07:03,730 --> 00:07:04,689 So far. 102 00:07:04,690 --> 00:07:05,690 Good. 103 00:07:08,510 --> 00:07:12,070 How much paid leave are we on the hook for with this one? Six weeks. You 104 00:07:12,070 --> 00:07:14,590 wouldn't have a problem with that by any chance. What have you done with it? Oh, 105 00:07:14,590 --> 00:07:16,190 no. I think it's the least we can do. 106 00:07:17,810 --> 00:07:19,350 Come on. The kid's only 16. 107 00:07:19,810 --> 00:07:22,930 The victim was 16, too. That doesn't make him any less dead. 108 00:07:23,570 --> 00:07:26,230 Look, would you be willing to consider lowering the charge to the manslaughter? 109 00:07:26,490 --> 00:07:27,490 Maybe. 110 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,100 You've also got a request in for a fitness hearing. Is it possible to let 111 00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:34,580 one go and just try him as a juvenile? I don't know, Michael. He seems pretty 112 00:07:34,580 --> 00:07:37,040 grown up to me. He carried the gun into school. 113 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,860 He shot this kid point blank. He was scared. 114 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,920 He was tired of being picked on. 115 00:07:43,220 --> 00:07:46,260 It's not like this is a career criminal we're dealing with. Give him time. 116 00:07:46,620 --> 00:07:47,620 Come on, Tommy. 117 00:07:47,940 --> 00:07:51,100 All right, if you want to try the kid as a juvenile, we will try him as a 118 00:07:51,100 --> 00:07:52,940 juvenile. You're a beautiful human being. 119 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,160 I love you, too. 120 00:07:56,940 --> 00:07:58,040 I'm nervous, Jonathan. 121 00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,280 I know. 122 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:00,440 I won't make it. 123 00:08:00,940 --> 00:08:03,920 If they send me to prison, I tell you right now, I will not survive. 124 00:08:04,380 --> 00:08:07,260 Simon, let's not get ahead of ourselves, okay? You're still convinced that 125 00:08:07,260 --> 00:08:10,260 entrapment is the way to go? In other words, you think a jury is going to 126 00:08:10,260 --> 00:08:13,020 believe me and not some big, strong Irish cop? 127 00:08:13,900 --> 00:08:16,800 You want to go in there now and change your plea to guilty? Come on. Jonathan, 128 00:08:16,900 --> 00:08:20,020 wait a minute. I'm telling you right now, you do that and you're going away 129 00:08:20,020 --> 00:08:21,720 sure. They've got you dead to rights. 130 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,780 The only way you're not going to prison is to plead entrapment. 131 00:08:25,660 --> 00:08:26,880 I hope that jury buys it. 132 00:08:28,140 --> 00:08:29,140 You're the lawyer. 133 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,000 Okay. 134 00:08:37,580 --> 00:08:42,100 Mr. Matz told an informer he had access to a number of paintings, including an 135 00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:45,180 untitled work by Willem de Kooning. What did you do? 136 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,980 Acting in an undercover capacity, I approached Mr. Matz. 137 00:08:49,900 --> 00:08:53,900 informed him that I represented a Japanese investor who was interested in 138 00:08:53,900 --> 00:08:57,420 some discreet purchases for his private collection, no questions asked. 139 00:08:57,700 --> 00:09:01,300 Matz provided me with a transparency, and I arranged to make the purchase. 140 00:09:01,580 --> 00:09:02,580 Was a purchase made? 141 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:03,880 Yes. 142 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:09,540 Undercover Officer Osaki gave Mr. Matz $300 ,000 in marked currency in exchange 143 00:09:09,540 --> 00:09:12,520 for the painting. We arrested him on the spot, recovered the cash. 144 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:13,699 Thank you, Detective. 145 00:09:13,700 --> 00:09:14,700 No further questions. 146 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,640 Congratulations on a major recovery, Detective. 147 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:19,869 Thank you. 148 00:09:19,870 --> 00:09:23,770 Tell us what you did in your undercover capacity in order to gain my client's 149 00:09:23,770 --> 00:09:26,450 confidence. I convinced him I was an art dealer. 150 00:09:26,890 --> 00:09:27,749 How'd you do that? 151 00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:29,950 I know a good deal about art, that's all. 152 00:09:30,970 --> 00:09:35,410 I mean, I could talk about Jackson Pollock or Miranda or Bala or Kokoschka 153 00:09:35,410 --> 00:09:37,870 and... Well, it'd sound like I know what I'm talking about. 154 00:09:38,110 --> 00:09:40,410 And where was it that these discussions took place, detective? 155 00:09:40,810 --> 00:09:42,290 Places of Mr. Matz's choosing. 156 00:09:42,510 --> 00:09:47,250 The Rage, the Emerald City, the Anvil? Like I said, places of Mr. Matz's 157 00:09:47,250 --> 00:09:48,550 choosing. Gay bars. 158 00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:53,080 Detective, did you sleep with my client? 159 00:09:53,620 --> 00:09:54,599 Absolutely not. 160 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,700 Did you ever indicate to him that you would sleep with him? No, I didn't. You 161 00:09:57,700 --> 00:09:59,820 were aware, were you not, that the defendant was gay? 162 00:10:00,140 --> 00:10:03,980 Yeah, I was aware of that. Did you ever say or do anything, Detective, that 163 00:10:03,980 --> 00:10:05,900 would lead him to believe that you were gay as well? 164 00:10:06,140 --> 00:10:09,380 No. No. Is it common for a straight man to frequent gay bars? 165 00:10:09,580 --> 00:10:12,860 I don't know whether it's common or not. I was a point man in an undercover 166 00:10:12,860 --> 00:10:13,860 operation. 167 00:10:14,439 --> 00:10:17,700 I went where the subject wanted to go. Is it fair to say, Detective, that you 168 00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:21,840 did nothing to disabuse Mr. Matz of the notion that you were, in fact, gay? I 169 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,880 let him believe what he wanted to believe. I was on a case. 170 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,240 Thank you, Detective. 171 00:10:27,620 --> 00:10:28,620 I have nothing further. 172 00:10:34,820 --> 00:10:39,640 Marvin, Marvin, Marvin. What am I going to do with you? This woman is delinquent 173 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,560 in the payment of her income tax, sir. 174 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,080 What I am doing is simply that which my job description calls for me to do. 175 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,060 I am enforcing the law. 176 00:10:49,380 --> 00:10:51,600 Is she delinquent in the payment of her income tax? 177 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,640 Yes, we are willing to concede that she is. But we can't address the issue of 178 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,140 repayment before we resolve the problem posed by this man's behavior. 179 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,960 How have I offended this woman's delicate sensibilities, sir? 180 00:11:04,540 --> 00:11:08,320 By holding her to the same standards of accountability as anyone else who earns 181 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,080 their living in the United States of America? You've been rude to her. 182 00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:16,940 I've been rude to her? Yes, you have been extremely rude to her. 183 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,400 Oh, well, there you have it. You know what? This sounds to me like a matter of 184 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,320 personal styles conflicting. Excuse me, I don't get involved in matters of 185 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,260 style, personal or otherwise. 186 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,920 I adhere to a principle that is both simple and fair. 187 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:32,840 Debts must be paid. 188 00:11:33,060 --> 00:11:36,120 She asks that you be nice to her.

We can come to an agreement 200 00:12:05,900 --> 00:12:07,260 to the repayment schedule. 201 00:12:07,870 --> 00:12:11,830 But we can't come to an agreement as to Marvin Pick. I can't break faith with my 202 00:12:11,830 --> 00:12:12,890 people, Mr. Markowitz. 203 00:12:13,310 --> 00:12:15,790 I have the morale of an entire office to consider. 204 00:12:17,070 --> 00:12:18,630 Well, then we have come to an impasse. 205 00:12:19,290 --> 00:12:22,670 Now, may I make a suggestion as to how to get through that? 206 00:12:23,150 --> 00:12:25,530 Sure.

About five minutes ago. You can probably still 259 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,160 her. 260 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,320 No, it's probably just as well. 261 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:21,220 Is everything all right? 262 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:23,280 I don't know. 263 00:15:24,940 --> 00:15:27,020 Did you ever consider becoming a father? 264 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,260 I was a stepfather for about six months. It was great. Then I screwed up, 265 00:15:31,300 --> 00:15:32,300 remember? 266 00:15:32,810 --> 00:15:33,810 You feel guilty about that? 267 00:15:35,170 --> 00:15:36,170 Sometimes. 268 00:15:36,530 --> 00:15:41,010 Tell you the truth, I don't think I'm cut out for family life. See, I'm not 269 00:15:41,010 --> 00:15:42,010 I am either. 270 00:15:42,030 --> 00:15:43,850 I've been married. That didn't work out. 271 00:15:44,550 --> 00:15:47,510 Things with Zoe and I were always better when we weren't living together. 272 00:15:47,850 --> 00:15:48,850 Roxanne isn't Zoe. 273 00:15:49,070 --> 00:15:50,750 But I am still me. 274 00:15:52,170 --> 00:15:56,810 I really thought I was ready to do it again. But now that Roxanne really is 275 00:15:56,810 --> 00:16:00,910 ready, I feel like my shoes are nailed to the floor. 276 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,100 In my opinion, men don't have nesting instincts. It's the missing chromosome. 277 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,800 There's one big problem, Arnie. I got a kid on the way. If I cut and run, that's 278 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:10,599 who suffers. 279 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:11,439 That's true. 280 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,360 I mean, they'll get over it, right, though? They're kids. 281 00:16:18,100 --> 00:16:19,300 Well, I tried. 282 00:16:19,500 --> 00:16:20,800 I couldn't get him reassigned. 283 00:16:21,380 --> 00:16:25,900 Marvin Pick is the agent on their case. In that case, they have a problem. 284 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,620 What kind of problem do they have? 285 00:16:28,820 --> 00:16:30,540 I refuse to deal with him. 286 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,080 You can't refuse to deal with him, Celeste. He represents the United States 287 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,960 government. For our purposes, Marvin Pick is the United States government. 288 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,800 Well, let's just see what they're going to do. 289 00:16:41,060 --> 00:16:43,240 No. You see, there's nothing to see. 290 00:16:43,460 --> 00:16:44,600 There's no mystery here. 291 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,340 Here's the way it's going to work. You refuse to pay your taxes, they are going 292 00:16:48,340 --> 00:16:50,540 to seize your assets and put you in jail. 293 00:16:51,070 --> 00:16:53,930 You're under a great deal of stress, aren't you? I'm not under a great deal 294 00:16:53,930 --> 00:16:56,510 stress. You are under a great deal of stress. 295 00:16:56,970 --> 00:17:00,910 Listen, I have something we just came out with. It's made from valerian, 296 00:17:01,030 --> 00:17:02,290 lavender, and balm. 297 00:17:02,650 --> 00:17:03,650 And it's wonderful. 298 00:17:04,430 --> 00:17:07,470 Ms. Bauman, the IRS is capable of doing what Stuart says. 299 00:17:08,130 --> 00:17:09,130 Oh, I know that. 300 00:17:10,130 --> 00:17:15,930 So?

And it took me 315 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:10,020 about that long to realize that sorrow and self -pity would not feed my kids. 316 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:11,660 So I made a decision. 317 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,860 I walked through the door, sat myself down. 318 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,620 And I force the world to deal with me on my terms. 319 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,600 I make it work with my competitors. 320 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,600 I make it work with my distributors. 321 00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:28,080 And I'm going to make it work with the Internal Revenue Service. 322 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,580 You owe these people $800 ,000. 323 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:33,880 You're going to have to deal with them. 324 00:18:34,940 --> 00:18:37,180 Not until they treat me with some respect. 325 00:18:42,380 --> 00:18:43,660 Oh, excuse me. I'm sorry. 326 00:18:43,940 --> 00:18:44,940 Good morning. 327 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,080 Good morning. 328 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,500 You must be Leland McKenzie. Yeah, yes, I am. Stuart Markowitz, tell me, you are 329 00:18:50,500 --> 00:18:53,820 the senior partner here. So you would say that I look senior? 330 00:18:54,460 --> 00:18:58,220 Well, actually, I would say that you look old. 331 00:18:59,500 --> 00:19:03,500 Nice to have met you. Which isn't to say that you don't look virile as well. 332 00:19:03,980 --> 00:19:08,540 But I can tell just by looking at you that you are in need of detoxification. 333 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,140 Detoxification? I don't believe anyone's ever said that to me before. 334 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,840 Well, most people can't tell. 335 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,560 But I have been blessed with eyes that see and hands that heal. 336 00:19:19,140 --> 00:19:24,880 And I look at you and I know that your body is littered with impure matter and 337 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,660 your manliness dissipated. 338 00:19:27,220 --> 00:19:30,360 You need to detoxify yourself, Leland McKenzie. 339 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,260 You have no idea the things that you are still capable of. 340 00:19:48,740 --> 00:19:52,000 What are we doing here? I thought you called this hearing off. I changed my 341 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,100 mind. What do you mean you changed your mind? I mean I want this little bastard 342 00:19:56,100 --> 00:20:00,440 prosecuted as an adult after all. I think that's wholly indicated by the 343 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,340 of the case. Can we talk about this? There's nothing to talk about. Kids 344 00:20:03,340 --> 00:20:06,580 shouldn't have to worry about getting shot when they go to school. End of 345 00:20:06,580 --> 00:20:07,580 discussion. 346 00:20:10,420 --> 00:20:11,740 Ms. Walker? 347 00:20:12,510 --> 00:20:16,170 Would you describe for the court what you saw happen on the afternoon of 348 00:20:16,170 --> 00:20:20,950 February 9th?

When Raphael didn't respond, Ronald 355 00:20:38,710 --> 00:20:40,990 closer to him, taunting him. 356 00:20:41,420 --> 00:20:44,580 calling him coward, sissy, and even hitting at the gun. 357 00:20:44,860 --> 00:20:45,619 And then? 358 00:20:45,620 --> 00:20:50,700 Rafael dropped to one knee, he took aim, and shot Ronald in the chest. 359 00:20:51,660 --> 00:20:53,780 Thank you.

Not in so many words. Yes or no, Ms. Walker? 362 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,780 No. And with the exception of February 9th, did you ever hear him threaten 363 00:21:06,780 --> 00:21:08,460 Ronald Ortega in any way? 364 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:09,780 Objection not relevant. 365 00:21:10,180 --> 00:21:12,720 Overruled. I'll allow that. The answer is no. 366 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,300 Ms. Walker, could you tell the court what happened to you on August 10th, 367 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:19,540 Objection. Not relevant. 368 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:20,960 Goes to bias, Your Honor. 369 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,160 I'll allow it. 370 00:21:22,380 --> 00:21:23,259 Ms. Walker. 371 00:21:23,260 --> 00:21:27,800 That was the day one of my students held me at gunpoint for seven hours in my 372 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,900 classroom because I flunked him in English. 373 00:21:30,180 --> 00:21:34,780 And was he tried as an adult or a juvenile? He got one year in a youth 374 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,160 And how did you feel about that? 375 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:37,519 Not very good. 376 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,380 Is it possible, Ms. Walker, that that turn of events makes it difficult for 377 00:21:41,380 --> 00:21:45,040 to give this court an objective account of your experiences with my client? 378 00:21:45,260 --> 00:21:49,460 Mr. Owen, I believe that there's something very wrong when a 16 -year 379 00:21:49,460 --> 00:21:52,940 chooses to settle his differences by murdering a classmate on the playground. 380 00:21:53,140 --> 00:21:55,260 Move to strike. We are terrified, Mr. 381 00:21:55,460 --> 00:21:58,820 Owen. Students want to learn. Teachers want to teach. But we can't do that 382 00:21:58,820 --> 00:22:01,460 because we live in fear. I have no further questions for this witness, Your 383 00:22:01,460 --> 00:22:03,280 Honor. Ms. Walker, you may step down. 384 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:12,820 We met at a gallery opening in Santa Monica. I was attracted to him 385 00:22:12,900 --> 00:22:16,960 I got the impression he felt the same way. What, if anything, did he say to 386 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:17,679 you that impression? 387 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,120 I knew it from the moment we met. 388 00:22:19,500 --> 00:22:25,660 It was everything. We'd have dinners. We'd go out for drinks. Greg would call 389 00:22:25,660 --> 00:22:27,840 them business meetings, but we both knew they were dates. 390 00:22:28,220 --> 00:22:29,700 Objection as to what they both knew. 391 00:22:30,140 --> 00:22:34,320 Sustained. The last part of the witness's response is stricken. 392 00:22:34,590 --> 00:22:37,530 Who initiated the first discussion about the stolen artwork? 393 00:22:37,870 --> 00:22:39,650 He did. Would you tell the court what he said? 394 00:22:40,010 --> 00:22:44,510 He said he had this Japanese collector desperate for a de Kooning that had 395 00:22:44,510 --> 00:22:49,970 recently been stolen. He said there'd be no questions asked and that we'd make 396 00:22:49,970 --> 00:22:54,490 enough money to go to Ibiza and live together without worrying about a thing. 397 00:22:54,730 --> 00:22:58,150 Did you have sex with Detective Riley, Mr. Matz? 398 00:22:58,750 --> 00:22:59,689 Yes, I did. 399 00:22:59,690 --> 00:23:00,690 How many times? 400 00:23:00,750 --> 00:23:01,750 Only once. 401 00:23:02,379 --> 00:23:04,760 After I got the painting for him, I never heard from him again. 402 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:06,400 Nothing further. 403 00:23:10,300 --> 00:23:14,360 You say you never would have committed this crime were it not for the fact that 404 00:23:14,360 --> 00:23:15,840 you were in love with Detective Riley. 405 00:23:16,260 --> 00:23:19,480 That's right. How did you know where to go to procure a stolen painting, Mr. 406 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,520 Matz? I know my way around the art world. 407 00:23:22,060 --> 00:23:27,340 It's a rather small, insular environment. I made some inquiries, 408 00:23:27,340 --> 00:23:28,740 I needed to know. It's not that difficult. 409 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,940 Particularly since you'd done it before, hadn't you? Objection. Goes to 410 00:23:31,940 --> 00:23:32,940 credibility, Your Honor. 411 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,320 Overruled. You were involved with the transportation and sale of a group of 412 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,080 stolen drawings by Arshile Gorky, weren't you? Not knowingly. What does 413 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,900 mean, not knowingly? It means that I didn't know they were stolen. 414 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,160 I see. 415 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,180 And when you were convicted of selling a forged canvas of the German painter Max 416 00:23:49,180 --> 00:23:52,700 Pechstein, is it your testimony that you didn't know it was forged? 417 00:23:52,940 --> 00:23:58,000 Yes, that is my testimony. This night of passion you claim to have had with 418 00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,000 Detective Riley. 419 00:23:59,180 --> 00:24:00,460 Where did it take place? 420 00:24:00,780 --> 00:24:01,739 In my apartment. 421 00:24:01,740 --> 00:24:03,200 Anyone there beside the two of you? 422 00:24:03,540 --> 00:24:05,640 No. Anyone see you enter the apartment? 423 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,600 No. Anyone see you leave? 424 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,600 No. In other words, it's just your word against his. 425 00:24:11,940 --> 00:24:13,860 Yes. I have nothing further, Your Honor. 426 00:24:18,850 --> 00:24:19,850 Wait. 427 00:24:19,910 --> 00:24:20,910 One second. 428 00:24:23,610 --> 00:24:24,610 Greg? 429 00:24:26,330 --> 00:24:27,330 What do you want? 430 00:24:27,690 --> 00:24:29,930 I want to talk to you. No, I don't want to talk to you. It's important. 431 00:24:30,250 --> 00:24:35,410 Hey, I said I don't want to talk to you. Simon, come on. Greg, I'm HIV positive. 432 00:24:36,770 --> 00:24:38,610 I just found out I think you should get tested. 433 00:24:44,690 --> 00:24:45,970 Simon, you're HIV positive? 434 00:24:47,639 --> 00:24:49,460 No, in point of fact, I'm not. 435 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,260 I think you should put a private investigator on him. 436 00:24:53,660 --> 00:24:54,860 I think you should do it fast. 437 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,020 Mr. Collisotto. 438 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,140 How long have you been a probation officer in the juvenile system? 439 00:25:14,380 --> 00:25:15,380 Almost 20 years. 440 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,940 And in that time, how many investigations have you conducted to 441 00:25:18,940 --> 00:25:22,520 determine whether or not a minor is fit to be dealt with through the juvenile 442 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:23,520 court? Hundreds. 443 00:25:23,700 --> 00:25:26,960 And what is your recommendation with regard to Rafael Montalvo? 444 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,100 The boy acted without premeditation. He has no affiliation to gangs. 445 00:25:31,340 --> 00:25:35,920 He has no prior record of violent behavior, no history of drug use. 446 00:25:36,180 --> 00:25:40,100 He does have a previous arrest record. The offenses were petty theft, and the 447 00:25:40,100 --> 00:25:43,880 probation department found him very responsive to rehabilitation. 448 00:25:44,830 --> 00:25:45,970 What about his family life? 449 00:25:46,210 --> 00:25:47,970 It seems relatively stable. 450 00:25:48,230 --> 00:25:51,370 And his mother's willing to do anything she can to get him back on the right 451 00:25:51,370 --> 00:25:54,090 track. Thank you, Mr. Calasurdo. I have no further questions. 452 00:25:54,470 --> 00:25:59,550 Mr. Calasurdo, it is your belief that Rafael Montalvo acted without 453 00:25:59,550 --> 00:26:01,190 premeditation. Is that correct? 454 00:26:01,650 --> 00:26:05,690 Yes. You don't think bringing a gun to school and bragging about how Mr. Ortega 455 00:26:05,690 --> 00:26:08,510 wouldn't be able to mess with him shows premeditation? 456 00:26:08,810 --> 00:26:10,830 I don't think it shows premeditation to murder. 457 00:26:11,030 --> 00:26:13,730 What does it show premeditation to do? To protect himself. 458 00:26:14,350 --> 00:26:18,030 Do you know how many weapons were recovered from schools in Los Angeles 459 00:26:18,030 --> 00:26:19,030 year? Objection. 460 00:26:19,790 --> 00:26:24,290 765. Mr. Mullaney, there's been an objection, and the objection's 461 00:26:24,290 --> 00:26:25,289 Move on, please. 462 00:26:25,290 --> 00:26:26,290 Does it bother you? 463 00:26:26,430 --> 00:26:27,470 Even a little bit? 464 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:32,580 That all of the other predators who are roaming the halls of our schools will 465 00:26:32,580 --> 00:26:35,900 have their faith in the leniency of our courts confirmed. 466 00:26:36,180 --> 00:26:40,580 Objection. Does it bother you that he opened fire in a crowded schoolyard? And 467 00:26:40,580 --> 00:26:45,020 does it bother you that we will have failed once again to protect our young? 468 00:26:45,260 --> 00:26:49,300 Counselor. I think there may be some critical issues here, Your Honor, that 469 00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:52,400 being overlooked. If there are, you should address them in the appropriate 470 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,840 manner. This is my courtroom, and you're going to conduct yourself as an 471 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,260 attorney, not as a demagogue. Can you do that? 472 00:26:58,680 --> 00:26:59,780 Yes, Your Honor. Good. 473 00:27:00,020 --> 00:27:02,300 Now, do you have any further questions for this witness? 474 00:27:02,660 --> 00:27:04,340 No, Your Honor, I do not. 475 00:27:16,070 --> 00:27:20,510 She remains convinced that the IRS will somehow bend to her will, and no matter 476 00:27:20,510 --> 00:27:22,590 what I say to her, she can't be dissuaded from that. 477 00:27:23,130 --> 00:27:25,710 Would it accomplish anything to have her meet with the supervisor? 478 00:27:26,190 --> 00:27:27,190 What would that accomplish? 479 00:27:27,590 --> 00:27:30,550 Well, maybe she could work out a settlement or a payment schedule 480 00:27:30,550 --> 00:27:32,030 him and bypass Marvin Pick altogether. 481 00:27:32,510 --> 00:27:35,970 It doesn't work that way, Gwen. They have their way of doing things, and 482 00:27:35,970 --> 00:27:38,990 not about to abandon that in order to accommodate us. I think we have to send 483 00:27:38,990 --> 00:27:39,569 her packing. 484 00:27:39,570 --> 00:27:41,110 You mean refuse to represent her anymore? 485 00:27:41,660 --> 00:27:44,860 She's ignoring our advice, Gwen. Well, maybe we could try a little harder to 486 00:27:44,860 --> 00:27:46,540 convince her. Not yet being a lawyer. 487 00:27:46,740 --> 00:27:50,080 It may be hard for you to accept the degree to which a client will become 488 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,900 fixated on doing that, which to an objective observer is utterly inimical 489 00:27:54,900 --> 00:27:55,759 their own interests. 490 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:56,539 It happens. 491 00:27:56,540 --> 00:27:59,600 I don't think you have to be a lawyer to understand this woman. I just think you 492 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,840 have to listen to her. You're not making this a woman's thing, are you? I'm not 493 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,340 making this any kind of thing. I just don't think we've exhausted our 494 00:28:06,340 --> 00:28:09,140 to her, and I don't think we should send her packing until we do. 495 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,740 Well... Then there's the other problem. 496 00:28:11,940 --> 00:28:12,659 That's right. 497 00:28:12,660 --> 00:28:16,600 It's called malpractice. And the risk of getting sued for it makes even me be 498 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,560 willing to forego the fees this client would generate. 499 00:28:19,700 --> 00:28:23,600 You think she'd sue us? Let the IRS take her house away and see whose fault all 500 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:24,399 this becomes. 501 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,280 And it's something that we, as partners in this firm, have to worry about. While 502 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,200 you, who are neither a partner nor a lawyer, don't. This may come as a shock 503 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:33,019 you, Douglas. 504 00:28:33,020 --> 00:28:36,640 But once in a great while, even those who are neither partners nor lawyers 505 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:37,640 something to say. 506 00:28:37,700 --> 00:28:41,240 Gwen. And when they do, they like to be able to pretend that they're being taken 507 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:42,240 seriously. 508 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,460 Rafael, how long did you know Ronald Ortega? 509 00:28:56,420 --> 00:28:57,420 About two years. 510 00:28:57,940 --> 00:29:01,360 And what was the nature of your relationship? 511 00:29:02,439 --> 00:29:04,220 We, uh, we hated each other. 512 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,340 Why? I don't know why he hated me. 513 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,200 I hated him because he picked on me all the time. 514 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,900 Accused me of doing things I never did. Such as? 515 00:29:14,260 --> 00:29:15,320 Dissing him to his girlfriend. 516 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,300 Breaking his car window. 517 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:18,680 Did you do those things? 518 00:29:18,980 --> 00:29:19,980 No. 519 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,460 When you say he picked on you, what do you mean? 520 00:29:22,940 --> 00:29:25,180 He'd follow me home from school with some of his friends. 521 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:26,900 Beat me up, take my money. 522 00:29:27,260 --> 00:29:29,920 One time he, uh, took my pants and my shoes. 523 00:29:30,650 --> 00:29:32,210 I had to walk four blocks like that. 524 00:29:33,110 --> 00:29:35,210 He said fat boys like me made him sick. 525 00:29:36,050 --> 00:29:37,470 How did you respond to this treatment? 526 00:29:38,670 --> 00:29:39,850 I tried to ignore him. 527 00:29:41,730 --> 00:29:43,350 What were you planning to do with the gun, Rafael? 528 00:29:43,770 --> 00:29:44,770 Nothing. 529 00:29:44,850 --> 00:29:47,230 Nothing. It just made me feel safer to have it, you know? 530 00:29:48,170 --> 00:29:50,490 I thought he would stop bothering me if I had a gun. 531 00:29:51,530 --> 00:29:53,070 What happened on February 9th? 532 00:29:54,650 --> 00:29:56,670 My friend Richard was going to give me a ride home. 533 00:29:57,230 --> 00:29:58,990 When we got out to the parking lot... 534 00:29:59,930 --> 00:30:02,450 Ortega was there. He said he had heard I had a gun. 535 00:30:02,870 --> 00:30:06,010 Started grabbing at me, trying to find it. So I broke free. 536 00:30:06,650 --> 00:30:08,510 I took it out and I pointed it at him. 537 00:30:10,110 --> 00:30:11,830 He kept on coming at me, though, you know? 538 00:30:13,650 --> 00:30:15,010 He kept on taunting me. 539 00:30:16,530 --> 00:30:19,110 Finally, the gun went off. 540 00:30:20,650 --> 00:30:22,210 How do you feel about what happened, Rafael? 541 00:30:24,450 --> 00:30:25,450 I'm sorry. 542 00:30:26,530 --> 00:30:27,690 I have no further questions. 543 00:30:37,290 --> 00:30:38,950 The gun went off. 544 00:30:40,110 --> 00:30:45,390 Yeah. Rafael, we've got at least ten witnesses who say you dropped to one 545 00:30:45,670 --> 00:30:49,870 You steadied the gun and aimed it before it went off. 546 00:30:50,250 --> 00:30:51,390 Are they telling the truth? 547 00:30:51,670 --> 00:30:55,210 Look, I was shaking all over. If I didn't kneel down, I would have fallen 548 00:30:56,110 --> 00:31:00,110 I didn't mean to shoot him. I just wanted him to know that I could take 549 00:31:00,110 --> 00:31:03,570 myself.
