Yeah.

13
00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:26,321
Yeah, of course I remember you.
That's why I gave you my card.

14
00:03:29,523 --> 00:03:34,593
Yeah, yeah. Ankle monitors don't
just fall off. You cut them off.

15
00:03:34,595 --> 00:03:36,098
It's a big difference.

16
00:03:37,164 --> 00:03:39,331
Because it's a violation.

17
00:03:39,333 --> 00:03:41,469
- How you doing?
- I'm here.

18
00:03:42,670 --> 00:03:45,273
Well, I can't advise
you to do that.

19
00:03:46,540 --> 00:03:48,041
I hear banging.

20
00:03:50,045 --> 00:03:52,679
- William Henry Jackson.
- Well, open it.

21
00:03:52,681 --> 00:03:55,548
Right, open it
before they kick it in.

22
00:03:55,550 --> 00:03:57,015
Hello?

23
00:03:57,017 --> 00:03:59,585
No. No. Dear Jesus.

24
00:03:59,587 --> 00:04:01,154
Hello?

25
00:04:01,156 --> 00:04:04,156
Oh, God. Where'd they take him?

26
00:04:04,158 --> 00:04:07,592
Roman! William's had a heart
attack outside his building.

27
00:04:07,594 --> 00:04:09,228
He's at MLK.

28
00:04:09,230 --> 00:04:11,229
- Is it serious?
- Of course it's serious.

29
00:04:11,231 --> 00:04:12,966
He's at the emergency room.

30
00:04:12,968 --> 00:04:15,170
Call the hospital,
and see what you can learn.

31
00:04:17,438 --> 00:04:19,237
I'll tell you what to do.

32
00:04:19,239 --> 00:04:21,174
I'll tell you exactly
what we're gonna do.

33
00:04:21,176 --> 00:04:23,309
Get Kibby on the phone.
He can cover for him.

34
00:04:23,311 --> 00:04:25,311
- Kibby retired.
- When?

35
00:04:25,313 --> 00:04:30,049
Years ago. Now, listen, Roman,
William had a full day today.

36
00:04:30,051 --> 00:04:31,551
- Okay.
- You have to cover for him.

37
00:04:31,553 --> 00:04:33,186
- Okay.
- Tell the clients

38
00:04:33,188 --> 00:04:36,388
and the prosecutors
and the judges what's going on.

39
00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:39,392
- Okay.
- Get continuances.

40
00:04:39,394 --> 00:04:41,126
- Okay.
- Just continuances.

41
00:04:41,128 --> 00:04:42,561
Just continuances.

42
00:04:42,563 --> 00:04:45,164
I typed up his day.
It's in there on my desk.

43
00:04:45,166 --> 00:04:48,070
- All right.
- Dear Lord.

44
00:04:48,669 --> 00:04:50,635
Okay.

45
00:04:50,637 --> 00:04:53,071
Just continuances.

46

<i>All metal goes in the trays.</i>

47
00:05:07,255 --> 00:05:10,422
- Phones, change.
- Step forward, please.

48
00:05:10,424 --> 00:05:12,691
If you have a
belt, please remove it.

49
00:05:14,628 --> 00:05:15,761
Keys.

50
00:05:15,763 --> 00:05:17,563
Any loose change.

51
00:05:17,565 --> 00:05:20,165
You must remove it
so it can be scanned.

52
00:05:20,167 --> 00:05:21,566
Next person.

53
00:05:21,568 --> 00:05:23,602
Put your arms out.
Just hold right there.

54
00:05:23,604 --> 00:05:27,439
Listen, my iPod,
I got 8000 songs in here.

55
00:05:27,441 --> 00:05:29,642
The last time
I put that in there

56
00:05:29,644 --> 00:05:31,210
I lost the bass range on

60
00:05:38,318 --> 00:05:41,119
- Step up, please.
- Next.

61
00:05:41,121 --> 00:05:43,124
Thank you, sir.

62
00:05:45,392 --> 00:05:48,094
All phones off.

63
00:05:48,096 --> 00:05:49,662
Phones off.

64
00:05:52,133 --> 00:05:53,532
All phones off.

65
00:05:53,534 --> 00:05:56,102
Excuse me, sister.
Where's the, uh...?

66
00:05:56,104 --> 00:05:58,207
The court for white folks?

67
00:05:59,507 --> 00:06:01,510
Phones off.

68
00:06:05,546 --> 00:06:07,248
Wack-ass.

69
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,587
Quiet in the court.

70
00:06:15,589 --> 00:06:17,823
Uh. Excuse me.

71
00:06:17,825 --> 00:06:20,126
What do you have
on number 32?

72
00:06:20,128 --> 00:06:22,130
Langston Bailey?

73
00:06:33,241 --> 00:06:35,441
This says William Jackson's
his lawyer.

74
00:06:35,443 --> 00:06:37,876
Well, Mr. Jackson had
a heart attack this morning.

75
00:06:37,878 --> 00:06:40,313
I'm Roman Israel,
his partner.

76
00:06:40,315 --> 00:06:41,881
I didn't know Jackson
had a partner.

77
00:06:41,883 --> 00:06:44,549
Well, I don't have
the, uh, patience

78
00:06:44,551 --> 00:06:47,886
for the butchery that
occurs here. Mr. Jackson does.

79
00:06:47,888 --> 00:06:49,688
You want a continuance?

80
00:06:49,690 --> 00:06:51,189
What bail you offering?

81
00:06:51,191 --> 00:06:53,493
No bail.
And he pleas to count one.

82
00:06:53,495 --> 00:06:57,229
I'll tell the judge and request
a minimum five years.

83
00:06:57,231 --> 00:06:58,898
He's facing 15 at trial.

84
00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:00,732
For a 17-year-old
breaking and entering?

85
00:07:00,734 --> 00:07:04,903
Hell, why don't we just get
it over with and shoot him?

86
00:07:04,905 --> 00:07:06,606
That's the offer.

87
00:07:06,608 --> 00:07:07,806
Do what you gotta do.

88
00:07:07,808 --> 00:07:09,542
Offer doesn't really,
I mean...

89
00:07:09,544 --> 00:07:12,445
He's not taking top plea.
I can tell you that.

90
00:07:12,447 --> 00:07:14,212
You're already
overcharging him.

91
00:07:14,214 --> 00:07:16,616
L-Let's talk about
mitigating circumstances.

92
00:07:16,618 --> 00:07:19,352
He was caught wearing a T-shirt
with a gang symbol.

93
00:07:19,354 --> 00:07:21,621
Like the flag pin
on your lapel.

94
00:07:21,623 --> 00:07:25,191
Five years. That's as low
as the People will go.

95
00:07:25,193 --> 00:07:26,758
People? What people?
There's no people.

96
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,361
There's just you making a
bullshit career-climbing offer.

97
00:07:29,363 --> 00:07:31,229
Come on, let's admit it.

98
00:07:31,231 --> 00:07:33,101
Present it to your client.

99
00:07:34,669 --> 00:07:36,234
His name is Langston.

100
00:07:36,236 --> 00:07:37,936
He's a high school junior
in good standing.

101
00:07:37,938 --> 00:07:39,571
Plays on the soccer team.

102
00:07:39,573 --> 00:07:41,840
All of this despite
that his father's in jail.

103
00:07:41,842 --> 00:07:44,710
His mother is in
drug treatment.

104
00:07:44,712 --> 00:07:48,580
And due to a legion of forces
beyond his control,

105
00:07:48,582 --> 00:07:53,186
he joined a gang for acceptance,
family, and protection.

106
00:07:53,188 --> 00:07:55,554
He has one prior minor offense.

107
00:07:55,556 --> 00:08:00,225
Each one of us is greater than
the worst thing we've ever done.

108
00:08:00,227 --> 00:08:01,927
Deep bows.

109
00:08:01,929 --> 00:08:05,965
Please, talk to your client.

110
00:08:05,967 --> 00:08:08,967
My conviction rate's
100 percent.

111
00:08:08,969 --> 00:08:10,736
All rise.

112
00:08:10,738 --> 00:08:13,806
Court of District Nine
is now in session.

113
00:08:13,808 --> 00:08:17,376
The Honorable James Hurakami
is presiding.

114
00:08:22,650 --> 00:08:24,517
Langston Bailey.

115
00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:27,489
<i>Thank you, bailiff.
You may be seated.</i>

116
00:08:29,356 --> 00:08:31,724
Wow, five to seven?

117
00:08:31,726 --> 00:08:34,694
Thought I was going
to juvie though.

118
00:08:34,696 --> 00:08:36,796
I want to speak to
Mr. Jackson.

119
00:08:36,798 --> 00:08:39,297
He's in the hospital.

120
00:08:39,299 --> 00:08:40,700
When's he coming back?

121
00:08:40,702 --> 00:08:42,538
Wish I knew.

122
00:08:49,711 --> 00:08:52,378
I want a new lawyer. I want
to switch. I have rights.

123
00:08:52,380 --> 00:08:54,479
Mr. Jackson is the one
who comes to court,

124
00:08:54,481 --> 00:08:57,883
but he comes to me
for legal guidance.

125
00:08:57,885 --> 00:09:00,786
Now, you're being overcharged
to accept a plea,

126
00:09:00,788 --> 00:09:02,821
and to keep things moving.

127
00:09:02,823 --> 00:09:05,457
They want to punish you for
even asking for a day in court.

128
00:09:05,459 --> 00:09:08,261
It's a volume business.

129
00:09:08,263 --> 00:09:09,662
With guards getting overtime,

130
00:09:09,664 --> 00:09:11,529
and private companies
owning the jails

131
00:09:11,531 --> 00:09:14,267
and building them as well.
It's a fact.

132
00:09:14,269 --> 00:09:17,470
You want to fight, we'll fight.
I mean, to hell with the bill.

133
00:09:17,472 --> 00:09:19,939
But if we take it to trial,

134
00:09:19,941 --> 00:09:22,374
and you lose,

135
00:09:22,376 --> 00:09:25,744
they hit you with 15 years.

136
00:09:25,746 --> 00:09:28,714
And they rarely lose.

137
00:09:28,716 --> 00:09:30,619
Keep your head up.

138
00:09:34,889 --> 00:09:37,359
And do some push-ups.

139
00:09:40,895 --> 00:09:42,961
This is a preliminary hearing
on the case

140
00:09:42,963 --> 00:09:44,930
of <i>The People of
the State of California</i>

141
00:09:44,932 --> 00:09:47,032
<i>v. William Carlos Ramirez.</i>

142
00:09:47,034 --> 00:09:50,036
Case number A64-9725.

143
00:09:50,038 --> 00:09:51,903
Counsel will
state your names.

144
00:09:51,905 --> 00:09:54,840
People are represented
by Michael Wesley.

145
00:09:54,842 --> 00:09:58,844
Roman J. Israel, Esquire,
on behalf of Mr. Ramirez.

146
00:09:58,846 --> 00:10:01,479
Mr. Israel,
I'll grant a continuance,

147
00:10:01,481 --> 00:10:03,449
given lead counsel's
medical emergency.

148
00:10:03,451 --> 00:10:07,420
Um. I'd like to dive
right in, Your Honor.

149
00:10:07,422 --> 00:10:09,021
Very good.

150
00:10:09,023 --> 00:10:10,656
Proceed.

151
00:10:10,658 --> 00:10:13,558
Uh, your Honor, the People
request the defendant,

152
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:15,695
Mr. William Carlos Ramirez

153
00:10:15,697 --> 00:10:18,431
be held to answer
on three counts of violating

154
00:10:18,433 --> 00:10:21,334
Health and Safety Code
Section 11351:

155
00:10:21,336 --> 00:10:23,869
possession of
powder cocaine for sale.

156
00:10:23,871 --> 00:10:27,505
Mr. Ramirez was observed and
filmed making three drug sales

157
00:10:27,507 --> 00:10:29,508
to undercover officers.

158
00:10:29,510 --> 00:10:31,944
Mr. Ramirez made a confession
to detectives

159
00:10:31,946 --> 00:10:34,547
that he supported himself
selling drugs.

160
00:10:34,549 --> 00:10:36,882
Objection. Motion to strike.
Mr. Ramirez was told

161
00:10:36,884 --> 00:10:38,917
he was not under arrest,
and was interrogated

162
00:10:38,919 --> 00:10:40,853
without the benefit
of his Miranda warning,

163
00:10:40,855 --> 00:10:42,821
yet he was refused
use of the bathroom.

164
00:10:42,823 --> 00:10:44,790
That's a violation
of civil rights.

165
00:10:44,792 --> 00:10:47,692
Um, it wasn't an interrogation.
It was an interview.

166
00:10:47,694 --> 00:10:49,628
Overruled.

167
00:10:49,630 --> 00:10:52,665
If a cop hauls you in, and
says you can't use the bathroom

168
00:10:52,667 --> 00:10:54,032
then you're being detained.

169
00:10:54,034 --> 00:10:55,734
We're moving on.

170
00:10:55,736 --> 00:10:57,769
What was he supposed to do,
your Honor, pee himself?

171
00:10:57,771 --> 00:10:59,571
You can wait, and address
this at trial.

172
00:10:59,573 --> 00:11:00,873
I would like
to address it now.

173
00:11:00,875 --> 00:11:02,441
I'm just saying
we have a real...

174
00:11:02,443 --> 00:11:03,642
Mr. Israel.

175
00:11:03,644 --> 00:11:05,547
Did you hear what I said?

176
00:11:10,150 --> 00:11:11,950
If...

177
00:11:11,952 --> 00:11:14,787
armed guards in this courtroom
detained you

178
00:11:14,789 --> 00:11:17,590
and would not allow you
to use the bathroom

179
00:11:17,592 --> 00:11:19,591
you would, by all definition,
be detained.

180
00:11:19,593 --> 00:11:21,460
What is good for the goose
is good for the gander.

181
00:11:21,462 --> 00:11:23,995
I'm gonna hold you in contempt
if you continue to pursue this.

182
00:11:23,997 --> 00:11:26,398
With all due respect,
you're asking me to obey

183
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,800
an erroneous court decision.

184
00:11:27,802 --> 00:11:29,768
You tell me to wait.
In my experience, wait...

185
00:11:31,005 --> 00:11:32,470
Okay.

186
00:11:32,472 --> 00:11:34,105
Find you in contempt.

187
00:11:34,107 --> 00:11:37,478
Is there anything else you'd
like to add before I set fine?

188
00:11:42,683 --> 00:11:45,151
<i>I told you
to just get continuances.</i>

189
00:11:45,153 --> 00:11:46,719
Yeah, I'm filing an appeal.

190
00:11:46,721 --> 00:11:48,686
<i>Five thousand dollars?</i>

191
00:11:48,688 --> 00:11:50,089
Well...

192
00:11:50,091 --> 00:11:52,590
"I wouldn't trust a lawyer
that didn't get complaints

193
00:11:52,592 --> 00:11:54,759
from the prosecution
or the court." Who said that?

194
00:11:54,761 --> 00:11:56,662
- <i>I have no idea.</i>
- William.

195
00:11:56,664 --> 00:11:58,596
<i>I can always
count on you to say</i>

196
00:11:58,598 --> 00:12:00,766
<i>the utterly
inappropriate thing.</i>

197
00:12:00,768 --> 00:12:03,436
<i>I'm with Lynn now.
She's very upset about it.</i>

198
00:12:03,438 --> 00:12:05,137
How is he?

199
00:12:05,139 --> 00:12:08,040
<i>It's not good.
They're still running tests.</i>

200
00:12:08,042 --> 00:12:10,209
All right, well, I'll come over
to the hospital.

201
00:12:10,211 --> 00:12:13,211
<i>Don't. He's not even in his room.
You understand?</i>

202
00:12:13,213 --> 00:12:15,080
- Yeah.
- <i>What's that?</i>

203
00:12:15,082 --> 00:12:17,917
<i>Well, Lynn says we'll talk
about it tomorrow, Roman.</i>

204
00:12:17,919 --> 00:12:20,585
<i>Good night.</i>

205
00:13:05,265 --> 00:13:08,600
<i>You have reached
the Los Angeles Police Department</i>

206
00:13:08,602 --> 00:13:10,201
<i>Noise Enforcement Team.</i>

207
00:13:10,203 --> 00:13:12,604
<i>Please leave your name,
contact telephone number,</i>

208
00:13:12,606 --> 00:13:15,106
<i>and a Noise Enforcement Team
officer will contact you</i>

209
00:13:15,108 --> 00:13:18,009
<i>as soon as possible.
Thank you, and have a nice day.</i>

210
00:13:19,579 --> 00:13:22,614
Yes. My name is
Roman J. Israel, Esquire.

211
00:13:22,616 --> 00:13:24,816
I'd like to report
a construction noise violation,

212
00:13:24,818 --> 00:13:29,588
570 Gladys Avenue. That's
G-L-A-D-Y-S Avenue, Los Angeles.

213
00:13:29,590 --> 00:13:33,091
City regulation 5612
prohibits construction

214
00:13:33,093 --> 00:13:35,960
and-or repair of any kind

215
00:13:35,962 --> 00:13:38,596
between the hours of
7 p.m. until 7 a.m.

216
00:13:38,598 --> 00:13:41,001
the following morning.
Thank you.

217
00:14:27,682 --> 00:14:30,782
<i>Please leave your
name, contact telephone number</i>

218
00:14:30,784 --> 00:14:32,850
<i>and a Noise Enforcement
Team officer</i>

219
00:14:32,852 --> 00:14:34,586
<i>will contact you
as soon as possible.</i>

220
00:14:34,588 --> 00:14:35,787
<i>Thank you,
and have a nice day.</i>

221
00:14:37,625 --> 00:14:39,724
<i>My name is Roman J.
Israel, Esquire.</i>

222
00:14:39,726 --> 00:14:43,696
<i>I want to report construction
noise at 570 Gladys Avenue.</i>

223
00:14:43,698 --> 00:14:46,297
<i>That's G-L-A-D-Y-S Avenue.</i>

224
00:14:46,299 --> 00:14:49,734
<i>City regulation 5612 requires</i>

225
00:14:49,736 --> 00:14:53,071
that there is no construction
or repair of any kind

226
00:14:53,073 --> 00:14:56,240
between the hours of
7 p.m. and 7 a.m.

227
00:14:56,242 --> 00:14:58,243
the following morning.

228
00:14:58,245 --> 00:15:01,346
Five-six-one-two.

229
00:15:01,348 --> 00:15:03,215
That's the city regulation.

230
00:15:03,217 --> 00:15:04,682
That's the law.

231
00:15:04,684 --> 00:15:06,085
I'm a lawyer.

232
00:15:06,087 --> 00:15:07,588
Goodbye.

233
00:15:29,309 --> 00:15:31,176
- Hello, Roman.
- Hi.

234
00:15:31,178 --> 00:15:34,312
- This is George Pierce.
- Nice to meet you.

235
00:15:34,314 --> 00:15:35,880
Pleasure.

236
00:15:35,882 --> 00:15:38,050
The doctors have
concluded that William

237
00:15:38,052 --> 00:15:40,686
is in a permanent
vegetative state.

238
00:15:40,688 --> 00:15:43,989
Ah. Well, he'll
surprise them.

239
00:15:43,991 --> 00:15:47,828
Well, we'd like to believe
that but not this time.

240
00:15:49,295 --> 00:15:50,428
You get a second opinion?

241
00:15:50,430 --> 00:15:52,697
He's had three.

242
00:15:52,699 --> 00:15:54,133
Now, Roman,
my uncle gave me

243
00:15:54,135 --> 00:15:57,069
financial and medical
power of attorney.

244
00:15:57,071 --> 00:15:59,772
If the firm was stable,
we'd have time to mourn

245
00:15:59,774 --> 00:16:02,675
but it's not, and we don't.

246
00:16:02,677 --> 00:16:05,009
William's directive asks
using George

247
00:16:05,011 --> 00:16:06,811
in the event
of incapacitation.

248
00:16:06,813 --> 00:16:08,681
And George has
generously offered

249
00:16:08,683 --> 00:16:10,449
to take time
from his busy practice

250
00:16:10,451 --> 00:16:12,350
to sort through
the remaining cases,

251
00:16:12,352 --> 00:16:16,223
help close the office,
and collect what's due.

252
00:16:17,290 --> 00:16:19,425
Well, I probably haven't had

253
00:16:19,427 --> 00:16:21,926
time to consider all the, uh,

254
00:16:21,928 --> 00:16:24,396
you know, various
ramifications of this.

255
00:16:24,398 --> 00:16:26,901
None of us have.

256
00:16:27,834 --> 00:16:29,169
I can't live on my accolades.

257
00:16:30,303 --> 00:16:32,237
Well, Lynn was hoping
to give you and...

258
00:16:32,239 --> 00:16:33,906
What's the receptionist's
name?

259
00:16:33,908 --> 00:16:35,740
- Vernita.
- Vernita, severance.

260
00:16:35,742 --> 00:16:39,680
But looking over the books,
it just doesn't seem possible.

261
00:16:41,781 --> 00:16:43,882
I'll take over. Ahem.

262
00:16:43,884 --> 00:16:49,088
No, you're not capable
of continuing the practice.

263
00:16:49,090 --> 00:16:50,788
On your contempt fine,

264
00:16:50,790 --> 00:16:52,391
we can argue
extreme emotional distress

265
00:16:52,393 --> 00:16:53,926
and hope for a reduction.

266
00:16:53,928 --> 00:16:55,460
Right. B-b-but I'll take over,

267
00:16:55,462 --> 00:16:58,699
because in the architecture
of this firm, I am a pillar.

268
00:17:00,067 --> 00:17:02,768
Yes, and, Roman, I'd hoped
to reward you for that.

269
00:17:02,770 --> 00:17:04,773
Hope don't get
the job done.

270
00:17:05,438 --> 00:17:07,039
What does that mean?

271
00:17:07,041 --> 00:17:09,110
That means hope
don't get the job done.

272
00:17:14,348 --> 00:17:16,348
Is it ego

273
00:17:16,350 --> 00:17:19,251
or delusion?

274
00:17:19,253 --> 00:17:21,022
Honestly, I...

275
00:17:22,156 --> 00:17:25,389
I never paid enough
attention to you.

276
00:17:25,391 --> 00:17:30,763
This place runs more like a
charity service than a law firm.

277
00:17:30,765 --> 00:17:33,499
It's run a deficit for years.

278
00:17:33,501 --> 00:17:35,270
We...

279
00:17:36,536 --> 00:17:40,004
his family,
can no longer afford it.

280
00:17:40,006 --> 00:17:42,174
We're clearing the books.

281
00:17:42,176 --> 00:17:44,245
We're handing this
off to George.

282
00:17:48,149 --> 00:17:49,814
Roman, I'm sorry.

283
00:17:53,219 --> 00:17:55,119
God, help me.

284
00:17:55,121 --> 00:17:57,758
Yeah, just tell
him to wait.

285
00:17:59,392 --> 00:18:02,994
No, just tell him to wait.
I'll be there in 30. Less.

286
00:18:02,996 --> 00:18:05,263
All right.
One sec, one sec.

287
00:18:05,265 --> 00:18:08,002
- So you have...? Uh-huh.
- I'll talk to him.

288
00:18:27,521 --> 00:18:29,554
I'm sorry, man.

289
00:18:29,556 --> 00:18:31,759
I feel for you.

290
00:18:36,063 --> 00:18:38,166
This where the bulldog
did his work?

291
00:18:42,303 --> 00:18:44,069
What a mind.

292
00:18:44,071 --> 00:18:47,175
He was great in the seat
and great on his feet.

293
00:18:48,842 --> 00:18:51,310
Jesus, didn't he ever
throw anything away?

294
00:18:51,312 --> 00:18:56,348
My secretary's gonna call.
She'll be point on this.

295
00:18:56,350 --> 00:18:57,616
What do you use?

296
00:18:57,618 --> 00:19:00,355
LegalPRO? Quicken?

297
00:19:01,455 --> 00:19:03,054
What's that?

298
00:19:03,056 --> 00:19:05,189
Status on every case,
depositions,

299
00:19:05,191 --> 00:19:07,959
investigations, uh,
conferences.

300
00:19:07,961 --> 00:19:10,294
What, on cards?
You're kidding.

301
00:19:10,296 --> 00:19:13,331
I'm not helping you fast-plead
just so you can get a fee.

302
00:19:13,333 --> 00:19:16,935
Well, I'm in court every day.
I fight hard for my clients.

303
00:19:16,937 --> 00:19:19,071
You're a low-flying bee.

304
00:19:19,073 --> 00:19:21,473
Is that what William
said about me?

305
00:19:21,475 --> 00:19:23,074
William never mentioned you.

306
00:19:23,076 --> 00:19:25,476
- What's that about, then?
- Fact.

307
00:19:25,478 --> 00:19:28,045
Recorded fact, every case.

308
00:19:28,047 --> 00:19:30,081
Organized and available.

309
00:19:30,083 --> 00:19:31,617
And you can fact-check that

310
00:19:31,619 --> 00:19:34,051
if you'd like on your
legal Quicken.

311
00:19:34,053 --> 00:19:35,520
I don't have time for this.

312
00:19:35,522 --> 00:19:38,357
My office will call
to coordinate going forward.

313
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,259
Let's watch him now.

314
00:19:40,261 --> 00:19:41,426
Young George.

315
00:19:41,428 --> 00:19:46,298
<i>State of California
v. Jason Angelo Fisher.</i>

316
00:19:46,300 --> 00:19:49,100
One of his first cases.
Fisher's first offense.

317
00:19:49,102 --> 00:19:51,969
Should have been reduced
to misdemeanor possession.

318
00:19:51,971 --> 00:19:56,507
But you pled him out to felony,
conspiracy, and possession.

319
00:19:56,509 --> 00:19:58,377
That became your M.O.

320
00:19:58,379 --> 00:20:01,914
Take a retainer, waive your
client's rights to a prelim,

321
00:20:01,916 --> 00:20:05,149
then dump them on the public
defenders when they complain.

322
00:20:05,151 --> 00:20:07,653
What, you worked
the Fisher case? His appeal?

323
00:20:07,655 --> 00:20:09,120
I recall reading the record.

324
00:20:09,122 --> 00:20:12,124
- That was seven years ago.
- Eight.

325
00:20:12,126 --> 00:20:14,326
So you're saying you know
all that from memory?

326
00:20:14,328 --> 00:20:16,128
Seven years,
eight months, 47 days.

327
00:20:16,130 --> 00:20:18,163
I'm quite confident
of my recollections.

328
00:20:18,165 --> 00:20:20,264
Well, my win-loss record
is above 90 percent.

329
00:20:20,266 --> 00:20:22,634
That's false and misleading.
That's only if you count

330
00:20:22,636 --> 00:20:24,305
your three years
as a prosecutor.

331
00:20:25,639 --> 00:20:27,205
Well, William
thought highly enough

332
00:20:27,207 --> 00:20:28,940
to bring me in
if something happened.

333
00:20:28,942 --> 00:20:30,944
Believe me,
I'm going to find out why.

334
00:20:45,426 --> 00:20:47,428
Roman. Hey, Roman.

335
00:20:49,362 --> 00:20:50,331
Where you going?

336
00:20:52,032 --> 00:20:54,699
- Where you going?
- MLK.

337
00:20:54,701 --> 00:20:57,170
Come on,
I'll give you a ride.

338
00:20:58,037 --> 00:20:59,473
I'd rather walk.

339
00:21:00,673 --> 00:21:02,342
Come on, Roman.

340
00:21:04,511 --> 00:21:06,414
I just want to talk.

341
00:21:12,518 --> 00:21:15,553
William taught a term at Loyola.
That's where we met.

342
00:21:15,555 --> 00:21:17,188
I was, uh, top of my class.

343
00:21:17,190 --> 00:21:20,157
Potential's a bitch.

344
00:21:20,159 --> 00:21:22,159
Well, I'll tell you
what's not is having

345
00:21:22,161 --> 00:21:24,562
four offices and 60 people
working for you.

346
00:21:24,564 --> 00:21:26,999
He picked me
because I tossed him work.

347
00:21:27,001 --> 00:21:28,532
You know, loser cases
I didn't want,

348
00:21:28,534 --> 00:21:30,468
or I was too busy to handle.

349
00:21:30,470 --> 00:21:33,038
This, closing his office,
it's payback.

350
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,207
I'll collect a fee.

351
00:21:36,776 --> 00:21:40,278
Look, it just so happens I could
use someone with your ability

352
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,546
and your power
of persuasive argument.

353
00:21:42,548 --> 00:21:44,617
And I'll pay you twice
what William gave you.

354
00:21:45,649 --> 00:21:46,184
What do you say?

355
00:21:46,186 --> 00:21:48,086
What makes you different
from this car?

356
00:21:48,088 --> 00:21:49,388
Whoa.

357
00:21:49,390 --> 00:21:51,490
Really? Okay.

358
00:21:51,492 --> 00:21:53,291
I'm gonna tell you
something I think

359
00:21:53,293 --> 00:21:55,426
maybe will surprise
and disappoint you.

360
00:21:55,428 --> 00:21:57,094
I got a kickback from William

361
00:21:57,096 --> 00:21:59,130
for every single case
I gave him.

362
00:21:59,132 --> 00:22:00,232
Bullshit.

363
00:22:00,234 --> 00:22:02,300
I have the records.

364
00:22:02,302 --> 00:22:05,102
Apparently, you've been
untouched by the messy business

365
00:22:05,104 --> 00:22:07,240
of running a small
criminal defense firm.

366
00:22:09,709 --> 00:22:11,109
Was it wrong?

367
00:22:11,111 --> 00:22:13,110
On some level, sure.

368
00:22:13,112 --> 00:22:15,280
Does it diminish
what he did? Hell, no.

369
00:22:15,282 --> 00:22:17,215
No, it allowed him
to keep the doors open.

370
00:22:17,217 --> 00:22:18,783
It kept you two going.

371
00:22:18,785 --> 00:22:21,786
And to this day, I still
remember quotes from his class.

372
00:22:21,788 --> 00:22:23,554
And that voice.

373
00:22:23,556 --> 00:22:26,524
"What is tolerance? It is the
consequence of humanity.

374
00:22:26,526 --> 00:22:28,693
"We are all formed of
frailty and error.

375
00:22:28,695 --> 00:22:31,396
"Let us pardon reciprocally
each other's follies.

376
00:22:31,398 --> 00:22:33,298
That is the first law
of nature."

377
00:22:33,300 --> 00:22:35,699
So what do you say we forget
the past and move forward?

378
00:22:35,701 --> 00:22:37,137
Pull over.

379
00:22:42,342 --> 00:22:43,742
I can't work for you.

380
00:22:43,744 --> 00:22:45,276
What are you gonna do?

381
00:22:45,278 --> 00:22:47,145
I'll continue in
criminal litigation.

382
00:22:47,147 --> 00:22:48,612
That's a bitch of a market.

383
00:22:48,614 --> 00:22:50,549
- What if you can't find something?
- What?

384
00:22:50,551 --> 00:22:53,150
For argument's sake, if you
can't find a firm, what's next?

385
00:22:53,152 --> 00:22:55,219
There is no next.
There is no argument's sake.

386
00:22:55,221 --> 00:22:57,555
There's underwear model
or activist attorney.

387
00:22:57,557 --> 00:22:59,159
There is no next.

388
00:23:18,144 --> 00:23:20,678
- <i>Yeah, George.</i>
- I want to bring someone in.

389
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,746
<i>Are you asking me,
or are you telling me?</i>

390
00:23:22,748 --> 00:23:25,817
Jackson had a guy who drafted
all his memoranda.

391
00:23:25,819 --> 00:23:27,452
I think he's a bit of a savant.

392
00:23:27,454 --> 00:23:29,321
<i>He paid him 500 a week.</i>

393
00:23:29,323 --> 00:23:30,789
<i>We can bill him out
for that much an hour.</i>

394
00:24:05,892 --> 00:24:10,161
Maya.
It's Roman Israel.

395
00:24:10,163 --> 00:24:11,530
Sorry to keep you waiting.

396
00:24:11,532 --> 00:24:13,665
I usually work off
scheduled appointments.

397
00:24:13,667 --> 00:24:17,903
It's okay. I had some pretzels
and soda from down there.

398
00:24:17,905 --> 00:24:19,638
That's fine.

399
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,375
So Jeff tells me you work
with William Henry Jackson.

400
00:24:23,377 --> 00:24:25,744
Yes, for 36 years.

401
00:24:25,746 --> 00:24:28,213
We are... We were partners.

402
00:24:28,215 --> 00:24:30,514
He was the public face
of the firm.

403
00:24:30,516 --> 00:24:32,650
I was the man behind
the curtain, so to speak.

404
00:24:32,652 --> 00:24:33,918
How is he?

405
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,786
Unconscious
several weeks now.

406
00:24:35,788 --> 00:24:37,656
I'm so sorry.

407
00:24:37,658 --> 00:24:40,328
Well, come on in.

408
00:24:49,736 --> 00:24:52,303
Um...

409
00:24:52,305 --> 00:24:56,241
I have no safeguard
against unemployment.

410
00:24:56,243 --> 00:24:59,511
So William and Ronald

411
00:24:59,513 --> 00:25:02,880
were old friends and associates
going back to Berkeley.

412
00:25:02,882 --> 00:25:04,416
Mm-hm.
Yeah, I'm aware.

413
00:25:04,418 --> 00:25:06,251
Ronnie mentions William
in his book.

414
00:25:06,253 --> 00:25:09,387
Right. Yes, yes.
I'd like to speak with him.

415
00:25:09,389 --> 00:25:11,822
Ron is at our headquarters
in Washington.

416
00:25:11,824 --> 00:25:14,562
There something
I could help you with?

417
00:25:15,562 --> 00:25:18,733
Uh, well, um...

418
00:25:19,967 --> 00:25:22,333
First, notwithstanding

419
00:25:22,335 --> 00:25:24,369
I don't know
if I could do this

420
00:25:24,371 --> 00:25:25,837
much longer,
progressive lawyering.

421
00:25:25,839 --> 00:25:28,807
You see, I'm not accustomed
without William.

422
00:25:28,809 --> 00:25:31,542
The criminal side
of our practice funded

423
00:25:31,544 --> 00:25:33,811
our policy
and legal challenges,

424
00:25:33,813 --> 00:25:35,981
as in defendants' rights, uh,

425
00:25:35,983 --> 00:25:37,815
prison conditions,

426
00:25:37,817 --> 00:25:40,584
and drafted attacks on state
and federal criminal codes.

427
00:25:40,586 --> 00:25:42,253
If I was freed
from criminal work,

428
00:25:42,255 --> 00:25:43,722
I can get back to my roots.

429
00:25:43,724 --> 00:25:46,390
The bigger battles,
organized mass action

430
00:25:46,392 --> 00:25:48,760
supported by sweeping
legal challenges.

431
00:25:48,762 --> 00:25:51,029
With my skill

432
00:25:51,031 --> 00:25:53,430
and, uh, experience

433
00:25:53,432 --> 00:25:55,867
I'm-I'm quite certain
I can get this organization

434
00:25:55,869 --> 00:25:59,003
right back in line
with its core beliefs.

435
00:25:59,005 --> 00:26:00,638
- This organization?
- Yes.

436
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,609
Yeah. I-I wasn't aware
that we, um, had strayed.

437
00:26:04,611 --> 00:26:06,910
Well, I'm not talking about
nickel-and-dime reformism.

438
00:26:06,912 --> 00:26:11,549
I'm talking about igniting
a sustained mass movement,

439
00:26:11,551 --> 00:26:14,619
supported by rule change
and injunctive relief.

440
00:26:14,621 --> 00:26:18,622
And I could get results
using class-action tactics.

441
00:26:18,624 --> 00:26:21,760
I'm talking about a return
to using activist litigation

442
00:26:21,762 --> 00:26:24,428
creatively, defensively,
counter-offensively.

443
00:26:24,430 --> 00:26:26,764
I am very proud
of what we've done here.

444
00:26:26,766 --> 00:26:30,668
I think we're making significant
headway in many, many areas.

445
00:26:30,670 --> 00:26:33,504
Well, in my experience,
that's, uh,

446
00:26:33,506 --> 00:26:36,407
an excuse to-to feel good
and to slack off.

447
00:26:36,409 --> 00:26:38,512
Oh. Who's slacking off?

448
00:26:42,783 --> 00:26:44,948
I attended Western State
College of Law

449
00:26:44,950 --> 00:26:48,655
at Argosy in Fullerton. Started
the first student union there.

450
00:26:51,957 --> 00:26:55,060
I chose cause over ambition.

451
00:26:55,062 --> 00:26:56,860
I could've joined one
of the big firms

452
00:26:56,862 --> 00:26:59,397
like the rest of them,
and been seduced.

453
00:26:59,399 --> 00:27:01,632
But I was inspired
by Mr. Jackson.

454
00:27:01,634 --> 00:27:03,501
I went to work for him.
You can...

455
00:27:03,503 --> 00:27:07,071
There's a detailed record
of all of our victories.

456
00:27:07,073 --> 00:27:08,773
Civil rights victories
on there.

457
00:27:08,775 --> 00:27:10,809
As for my personal life,
at a certain point

458
00:27:10,811 --> 00:27:13,043
I had to decide whether
to have a family or career.

459
00:27:13,045 --> 00:27:14,713
I couldn't do both.

460
00:27:14,715 --> 00:27:16,717
So I stayed on the front lines.
Now, I'm offering

461
00:27:19,052 --> 00:27:21,289
at this time...

462
00:27:22,421 --> 00:27:26,459
to work, exclusively...

463
00:27:27,494 --> 00:27:29,297
as your, um...

464
00:27:30,363 --> 00:27:32,397
long-haul,
three-dimensional,

465
00:27:32,399 --> 00:27:34,099
revolutionary,

466
00:27:34,101 --> 00:27:36,303
in-house,

467
00:27:37,403 --> 00:27:39,673
full-time, paid advocate.

468
00:27:46,846 --> 00:27:49,414
Mr. Israel,
we're all volunteers here.

469
00:27:49,416 --> 00:27:55,119
Our few salaried staff
work out of D.C.

470
00:27:55,121 --> 00:27:59,724
I'd go to interview, but I'm
precluded for pecuniary reasons.

471
00:27:59,726 --> 00:28:03,861
Money of late's been
a motivating factor in my life.

472
00:28:03,863 --> 00:28:05,597
Well,

473
00:28:05,599 --> 00:28:07,599
be that as it may, uh,

474
00:28:07,601 --> 00:28:09,837
positions are filled.

475
00:28:12,005 --> 00:28:14,472
Look, I'm well worth
having in this thing.

476
00:28:14,474 --> 00:28:16,640
I have no doubt of that.

477
00:28:16,642 --> 00:28:18,976
Because there's something
to be fired up about.

478
00:28:18,978 --> 00:28:21,881
We are, believe me.

479
00:28:23,650 --> 00:28:26,353
Ah, well, I'll, um...

480
00:28:28,053 --> 00:28:31,359
Go through William's Rolodex.
Thank you, uh,

481
00:28:32,525 --> 00:28:33,893
for your time.

482
00:28:36,996 --> 00:28:40,497
You know, if you're, uh,
interested in volunteering

483
00:28:40,499 --> 00:28:42,634
we're having a meeting
next week.

484
00:28:42,636 --> 00:28:45,035
We could use someone
with your legal expertise.

485
00:28:45,037 --> 00:28:46,571
Perhaps you could give a talk.

486
00:28:46,573 --> 00:28:50,442
I'd like that.
Here's my card.

487
00:28:50,444 --> 00:28:53,043
I crossed out
the office address.

488
00:28:53,045 --> 00:28:57,782
And I wrote my home address,
so you can reach me via mail.

489
00:28:57,784 --> 00:28:59,451
I'll probably
just text you.

490
00:28:59,453 --> 00:29:02,186
I can do that,
I think.

491
00:29:02,188 --> 00:29:04,522
- Thank you.
- Yeah. Thank you.

492
00:29:04,524 --> 00:29:06,494
Right on.

493
00:29:12,165 --> 00:29:14,465
What a freak.

494
00:29:14,467 --> 00:29:16,568
You stand
on his shoulders.

495
00:29:26,580 --> 00:29:31,949
<i>Good afternoon. Yeah, my
name is Roman J. Israel, Esquire.</i>

496
00:29:31,951 --> 00:29:33,851
<i>Yeah, Israel. Yes.</i>

497
00:29:33,853 --> 00:29:36,487
<i>Yes, like the... Like...
Yes, right, exactly.</i>

498
00:29:36,489 --> 00:29:37,955
I'm an attorney,
civil rights attorney.

499
00:29:37,957 --> 00:29:40,224
I was inquiring about
a possible job...

500
00:29:40,226 --> 00:29:42,092
Uh, yes, ma'am.

501
00:29:42,094 --> 00:29:43,994
Right, if I... If...

502
00:29:43,996 --> 00:29:46,129
<i>Right, ma'am, if I had a job,
I wouldn't be calling you.</i>

503
00:29:46,131 --> 00:29:48,966
<i>That's why I'm calling.
I don't have... Hello?</i>

504
00:29:48,968 --> 00:29:51,069
<i>...C-K-S-O-N. And I'd like
to speak to someone</i>

505
00:29:51,071 --> 00:29:52,837
<i>about any
possible positions...</i>

506
00:29:52,839 --> 00:29:54,872
<i>Yeah, I'll reach out again.</i>

507
00:29:54,874 --> 00:29:57,041
<i>In case any jobs come up,
I'd appreciate a call back.</i>

508
00:29:57,043 --> 00:29:59,910
<i>Yeah, good morning. My name is
Roman J. Israel, Esquire.</i>

509
00:29:59,912 --> 00:30:01,612
<i>I can send you my résumé.</i>

510
00:30:01,614 --> 00:30:03,580
<i>I was with
William Henry Jackson.</i>

511
00:30:03,582 --> 00:30:06,149
<i>I'm hoping to find if there's
an employment opportunity...</i>

512
00:30:06,151 --> 00:30:08,119
<i>No, not the number
that's crossed out.</i>

513
00:30:08,121 --> 00:30:10,687
<i>It's the number below
the number that's crossed out.</i>

514
00:30:10,689 --> 00:30:12,625
<i>Yes, ma'am. Thank you.</i>

515
00:30:21,034 --> 00:30:23,100
<i>Um, Mr. Israel?</i>

516
00:30:23,102 --> 00:30:26,003
<i>George Pierce would like you
in his office right away.</i>

517
00:30:26,005 --> 00:30:28,305
The best thing to do is
engage fully with the process.

518
00:30:28,307 --> 00:30:30,174
Otherwise, you feel
powerless, and you...

519
00:30:30,176 --> 00:30:32,042
Come on in.

520
00:30:32,044 --> 00:30:34,611
Roman, I'd like you
to meet Felicity Ellerbee.

521
00:30:34,613 --> 00:30:36,781
- Felicity, this is Roman Israel.
- Hi.

522
00:30:36,783 --> 00:30:39,082
He'll be working closely
with me on this. Sit down.

523
00:30:39,084 --> 00:30:41,852
Roman's a terrific attorney.
We're very lucky to have him.

524
00:30:41,854 --> 00:30:44,688
Felicity's nephew Derrell was
arrested two days ago

525
00:30:44,690 --> 00:30:46,023
in connection with
an armed robbery

526
00:30:46,025 --> 00:30:47,926
during which a clerk
was sadly killed.

527
00:30:47,928 --> 00:30:51,596
Derrell's been charged with
assault, first-degree murder.

528
00:30:51,598 --> 00:30:54,866
It was his friend that was there
with him. It wasn't Derrell.

529
00:30:54,868 --> 00:30:57,301
Derrell didn't know
that he was going to do that.

530
00:30:57,303 --> 00:30:59,203
Of course.
We completely understand.

531
00:30:59,205 --> 00:31:01,039
Derrell was not the shooter.

532
00:31:01,041 --> 00:31:03,308
It's our job to prove
how uncomplicit

533
00:31:03,310 --> 00:31:05,176
he was in
the actual murder.

534
00:31:05,178 --> 00:31:06,644
The way this will work is

535
00:31:06,646 --> 00:31:08,178
Roman's gonna
be the point person.

536
00:31:08,180 --> 00:31:11,282
And you were very, very wise
to retain private counsel.

537
00:31:11,284 --> 00:31:12,783
I'm not gonna lie to you,

538
00:31:12,785 --> 00:31:14,217
Derrell's got
a mountain to climb.

539
00:31:14,219 --> 00:31:16,219
It's imperative he receives
the best defense.

540
00:31:16,221 --> 00:31:18,825
I can promise you
that's what he'll get here.

541
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,760
I had to
mortgage my house.

542
00:31:22,762 --> 00:31:24,061
Oh, I'm sorry.

543
00:31:24,063 --> 00:31:25,629
I don't like lawyers.

544
00:31:25,631 --> 00:31:26,664
Me either.

545
00:31:26,666 --> 00:31:27,965
I understand.

546
00:31:27,967 --> 00:31:30,702
If I don't get answers
to my questions,

547
00:31:30,704 --> 00:31:32,203
if I don't see results,

548
00:31:32,205 --> 00:31:35,305
if I see padded shit
popping up in my bill,

549
00:31:35,307 --> 00:31:37,675
I will fire your ass.

550
00:31:37,677 --> 00:31:40,078
I'm putting up my house.

551
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,982
I understand.

552
00:31:43,917 --> 00:31:46,117
You always dress like that?

553
00:31:46,119 --> 00:31:50,088
Ah, well, uh,
in lieu of wardrobe,

554
00:31:50,090 --> 00:31:52,090
I have a reputation
as a dedicated advocate.

555
00:31:52,092 --> 00:31:54,091
Let me give you my card.
If there's any questions

556
00:31:54,093 --> 00:31:56,761
concerns, anything you want
to talk about, day and night,

557
00:31:56,763 --> 00:31:59,296
free of charge, I'm here.
I'm available for you.

558
00:31:59,298 --> 00:32:00,965
It's not
the crossed-out number.

559
00:32:00,967 --> 00:32:03,734
It's the number above
the crossed-out number.

560
00:32:03,736 --> 00:32:05,969
What's "Esquire" mean?

561
00:32:05,971 --> 00:32:08,705
Uh, it's a designation, uh,

562
00:32:08,707 --> 00:32:10,273
in the legal arena.

563
00:32:10,275 --> 00:32:12,176
It's like

564
00:32:12,178 --> 00:32:13,977
a title of dignity.

565
00:32:13,979 --> 00:32:16,380
Slightly above gentleman,
below knight.

566
00:32:23,188 --> 00:32:24,123
Yes.

567
00:32:26,292 --> 00:32:28,091
Come in.

568
00:32:28,093 --> 00:32:29,894
Roman, I'd like you
to meet James Lee.

569
00:32:29,896 --> 00:32:31,396
Jim, this is Roman Israel.

570
00:32:31,398 --> 00:32:33,296
He'll be working closely
with me on this.

571
00:32:33,298 --> 00:32:35,032
- Hi.
- Please sit down, Roman.

572
00:32:35,034 --> 00:32:38,735
Roman's a terrific attorney.
We're very lucky to have him.

573
00:32:38,737 --> 00:32:40,705
Jim's wife, Mari,
was cited last night

574
00:32:40,707 --> 00:32:42,139
for felony DUI hit and run,

575
00:32:42,141 --> 00:32:44,775
with added charges for
reckless driving and injury.

576
00:32:44,777 --> 00:32:46,043
The way this will work is

577
00:32:46,045 --> 00:32:47,878
Roman's gonna
be the point person.

578
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,013
You were very wise
to retain private counsel.

579
00:32:50,015 --> 00:32:52,250
Mari's... She's gonna
need, and deserves,

580
00:32:52,252 --> 00:32:53,885
the best defense possible.

581
00:32:53,887 --> 00:32:56,190
We're gonna make sure
she gets exactly that.

582
00:33:07,199 --> 00:33:08,901
From George.

583
00:33:10,303 --> 00:33:12,969
It's at that point,
per the night manager,

584
00:33:12,971 --> 00:33:14,906
that Derrell's friend,
Carter Johnson

585
00:33:14,908 --> 00:33:16,907
shoots the clerk
twice in the head.

586
00:33:16,909 --> 00:33:18,975
- Okay.
- They empty the register,

587
00:33:18,977 --> 00:33:21,812
roughly $500,
and then run into the alleyway

588
00:33:21,814 --> 00:33:23,781
where Derrell is caught
and Johnson escapes.

589
00:33:23,783 --> 00:33:26,818
Johnson is a shot caller
with the Rollin 100.

590
00:33:26,820 --> 00:33:28,785
He's got four
outstanding warrants,

591
00:33:28,787 --> 00:33:30,788
including two
for prior shootings.

592
00:33:30,790 --> 00:33:32,322
Now, your boy
Derrell is...

593
00:33:32,324 --> 00:33:34,091
Don't use "boy."

594
00:33:34,093 --> 00:33:38,061
Your client is seen entering
the store on the outside camera

595
00:33:38,063 --> 00:33:40,363
but the inside video
wasn't working.

596
00:33:40,365 --> 00:33:42,166
The Armenian
Community Council

597
00:33:42,168 --> 00:33:44,869
put up $100,000
for Johnson's arrest

598
00:33:44,871 --> 00:33:47,038
for the clerk,
who was Armenian.

599
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:51,007
Your client Derrell has two
priors going back four years.

600
00:33:51,009 --> 00:33:53,377
Uh, one for
drug possession, marijuana,

601
00:33:53,379 --> 00:33:54,948
and the other for theft.

602
00:33:58,083 --> 00:34:00,051
I have a
domestic violence case.

603
00:34:00,053 --> 00:34:02,352
This guy assaulted
the same woman six times,

604
00:34:02,354 --> 00:34:05,923
and she's swearing out an
affidavit for non-prosecution.

605
00:34:05,925 --> 00:34:08,292
- Have you heard of Tempura House?
- No. What's that?

606
00:34:08,294 --> 00:34:10,827
It's a shelter for
lightly battered women.

607
00:34:12,097 --> 00:34:14,000
That's funny.
That's funny.

608
00:34:18,204 --> 00:34:21,275
Turn on the light,
they run like roaches.

609
00:34:23,476 --> 00:34:25,209
You work here?

610
00:34:25,211 --> 00:34:27,845
Yes, sir, I do.

611
00:34:27,847 --> 00:34:29,446
Jessie Salinas.

612
00:34:29,448 --> 00:34:32,015
Supervising attorney.

613
00:34:32,017 --> 00:34:35,253
Roman J. Israel.
I'm the new guy.

614
00:34:35,255 --> 00:34:38,224
Did you just compare
us to roaches?

615
00:34:39,291 --> 00:34:41,057
There's no tiptoeing
into this.

616
00:34:41,059 --> 00:34:42,559
We're just blowing off steam...

617
00:34:42,561 --> 00:34:44,264
You're tourists.

618
00:34:50,503 --> 00:34:53,140
I'll see you around,
Israel.

619
00:35:01,414 --> 00:35:02,546
Roman.

620
00:35:02,548 --> 00:35:04,150
Roman.

621
00:35:06,552 --> 00:35:08,251
Jesus.

622
00:35:08,253 --> 00:35:10,555
I heard about you today
in the kitchen.

623
00:35:10,557 --> 00:35:12,957
Salinas is our number two.

624
00:35:12,959 --> 00:35:14,258
Not only that,
you were schooling

625
00:35:14,260 --> 00:35:16,126
Sanchez
in a crowded elevator?

626
00:35:16,128 --> 00:35:18,095
That man doesn't understand
character evidence.

627
00:35:18,097 --> 00:35:19,896
Then find a quiet corner.

628
00:35:19,898 --> 00:35:22,133
I sent you an e-mail today
to come to my office.

629
00:35:22,135 --> 00:35:24,234
I'm sorry, but when
people send e-mails,

630
00:35:24,236 --> 00:35:26,102
they think it goes
straight to your brain.

631
00:35:26,104 --> 00:35:28,004
You better take
what I'm saying seriously,

632
00:35:28,006 --> 00:35:30,207
because I'm being
very sincere with you.

633
00:35:30,209 --> 00:35:33,010
You knew what you were getting
when you brought me in.

634
00:35:33,012 --> 00:35:34,912
Well, I thought you
were functional.

635
00:35:34,914 --> 00:35:37,180
I think you brought me in
to put your feet to the fire,

636
00:35:37,182 --> 00:35:38,916
'cause you're tired
of treating

637
00:35:38,918 --> 00:35:40,450
low-income clients
like dollar signs,

638
00:35:40,452 --> 00:35:43,019
and maybe you remember
what it feels like to care.

639
00:35:43,021 --> 00:35:44,354
That's what I think,
George.

640
00:35:44,356 --> 00:35:46,057
No, I hired you
to make a buck.

641
00:35:46,059 --> 00:35:47,624
Which is why I thought
you took the job.

642
00:35:47,626 --> 00:35:50,260
I need money. Heh.
Badly, of course.

643
00:35:50,262 --> 00:35:53,231
But what I really need,
George, is an ally.

644
00:35:53,233 --> 00:35:56,166
I've been waiting to meet
someone of your high caliber.

645
00:35:56,168 --> 00:35:58,001
And, yes, I am selective.

646
00:35:58,003 --> 00:36:00,604
So what I'm offering
to you right out here now

647
00:36:00,606 --> 00:36:02,372
is a chance to partner with me

648
00:36:02,374 --> 00:36:04,441
on a piece of groundbreaking
litigation

649
00:36:04,443 --> 00:36:07,477
I've been working on
for over seven years now.

650
00:36:07,479 --> 00:36:09,280
Inside this case is arguably

651
00:36:09,282 --> 00:36:12,283
the most important legal brief
in modern legal history.

652
00:36:12,285 --> 00:36:16,320
A sweeping federal challenge
that could yield nothing less

653
00:36:16,322 --> 00:36:18,955
than a grand new era
of social reform.

654
00:36:18,957 --> 00:36:22,093
And I say that
with all due competence.

655
00:36:22,095 --> 00:36:24,961
The Constitution guarantees us
a right to a fair trial,

656
00:36:24,963 --> 00:36:26,363
but there can't be any fairness

657
00:36:26,365 --> 00:36:28,298
if 95 percent of all cases
never get heard.

658
00:36:28,300 --> 00:36:30,635
Criminal cases never get heard
by a jury or a judge.

659
00:36:30,637 --> 00:36:35,006
I am building a wholly
original class-action lawsuit

660
00:36:35,008 --> 00:36:37,274
with over 3500 names,
all former clients

661
00:36:37,276 --> 00:36:39,644
aimed at the heart
of plea-bargain reform.

662
00:36:39,646 --> 00:36:42,312
I'm talking about reforming
a system where prosecutors

663
00:36:42,314 --> 00:36:44,282
are trying to pull sentences
out of their hat.

664
00:36:44,284 --> 00:36:47,151
Where guilt or innocence
is being completely replaced

665
00:36:47,153 --> 00:36:49,153
by fear of having
your day in court.

666
00:36:49,155 --> 00:36:52,657
Where people are being forced,
George, to plead guilty

667
00:36:52,659 --> 00:36:57,160
under the threat of overly
harsh and coercive sentences.

668
00:36:57,162 --> 00:37:01,999
It's a job for a legend,
or someone who wants to be one.

669
00:37:02,001 --> 00:37:03,667
Let me tell you about it.

670
00:37:03,669 --> 00:37:05,535
No, no, no.
Jesus, just stop.

671
00:37:05,537 --> 00:37:07,305
Roman, enough.

672
00:37:07,307 --> 00:37:09,409
Not speaking out

673
00:37:10,476 --> 00:37:12,175
is ordinary.

674
00:37:12,177 --> 00:37:14,644
We're agents of change,
George, each one of us.

675
00:37:14,646 --> 00:37:18,115
Now, I don't have the resources
to finish this on my own.

676
00:37:18,117 --> 00:37:21,519
But with your assistance,
I'm more than certain

677
00:37:21,521 --> 00:37:24,454
that we can finish this
and file it together.

678
00:37:24,456 --> 00:37:28,091
Partners on a landmark
class-action suit

679
00:37:28,093 --> 00:37:30,294
built on precedents
and procedure

680
00:37:30,296 --> 00:37:33,030
and actual proof,
weight of proof.

681
00:37:33,032 --> 00:37:34,465
I'm sure of it, George.

682
00:37:34,467 --> 00:37:36,968
Look, do you want this
job or not? Yes or no.

683
00:37:36,970 --> 00:37:39,303
- Yes.
- Then you stop harassing people.

684
00:37:39,305 --> 00:37:43,307
You stick to clients, you stick
to memoranda only. That's it.

685
00:37:43,309 --> 00:37:45,276
Nothing else,
under no conditions.

686
00:37:45,278 --> 00:37:49,046
Now, you have
any more pressing opinions,

687
00:37:49,048 --> 00:37:50,984
you share them with me.

688
00:37:53,519 --> 00:37:56,223
Don't come in tomorrow
without a suit.

689
00:38:05,030 --> 00:38:06,465
Okay.

690
00:38:23,483 --> 00:38:26,517
Driver's license,
California Bar card, visitor ID.

691
00:38:26,519 --> 00:38:27,785
Yes.

692
00:38:27,787 --> 00:38:30,357
I'm here to see
Derrell Ellerbee.

693
00:38:31,456 --> 00:38:33,092
How they treating you?

694
00:38:34,559 --> 00:38:36,026
You need anything?

695
00:38:36,028 --> 00:38:37,660
I need to get out of here.

696
00:38:37,662 --> 00:38:39,629
You understand the charges?

697
00:38:39,631 --> 00:38:42,265
Yup. They want to bury me.

698
00:38:42,267 --> 00:38:44,234
All right. From now on,

699
00:38:44,236 --> 00:38:47,238
everything we discuss
will be confidential.

700
00:38:47,240 --> 00:38:49,340
I gotta be careful.

701
00:38:49,342 --> 00:38:50,774
Is somebody threatening you?

702
00:38:50,776 --> 00:38:52,776
Look, I didn't shoot that guy.

703
00:38:52,778 --> 00:38:55,579
Okay? I just went in.

704
00:38:55,581 --> 00:38:58,048
I didn't know what
he was gonna do.

705
00:38:58,050 --> 00:38:59,383
You gave a statement
to the police.

706
00:38:59,385 --> 00:39:01,785
Yeah, I asked for a lawyer.

707
00:39:01,787 --> 00:39:03,787
And before that,

708
00:39:03,789 --> 00:39:05,455
after they read you
your rights,

709
00:39:05,457 --> 00:39:07,725
you continued to talk
to the detective.

710
00:39:07,727 --> 00:39:09,392
They said you said

711
00:39:09,394 --> 00:39:11,796
that you saw
Carter Johnson with a gun.

712
00:39:11,798 --> 00:39:14,298
I didn't know
he was gonna use it.

713
00:39:14,300 --> 00:39:16,666
Knowing he had a gun
when you entered the store

714
00:39:16,668 --> 00:39:18,836
that's aiding and abetting.

715
00:39:18,838 --> 00:39:20,805
Criteria for
first-degree murder.

716
00:39:20,807 --> 00:39:24,544
CJ. CJ shot the clerk.

717
00:39:26,278 --> 00:39:28,245
All right? I saw it.

718
00:39:28,247 --> 00:39:30,280
I'll testify
if they let me out.

719
00:39:30,282 --> 00:39:31,548
They're not gonna
release you.

720
00:39:31,550 --> 00:39:34,218
Case is too strong,
charges too severe.

721
00:39:34,220 --> 00:39:36,120
Now we can talk to the DA.

722
00:39:36,122 --> 00:39:38,525
See what they'll offer
for your testimony.

723
00:39:40,159 --> 00:39:42,028
Probation?

724
00:39:43,128 --> 00:39:45,229
Best you can hope for is

725
00:39:45,231 --> 00:39:48,164
a possible reduction
to second-degree murder.

726
00:39:52,371 --> 00:39:54,405
Right over here.

727
00:39:54,407 --> 00:39:57,443
Have a seat
if you're so scared, man.

728
00:39:58,577 --> 00:40:01,280
Look, I know where
CJ's holed up.

729
00:40:03,182 --> 00:40:05,218
Plus testifying.

730
00:40:06,184 --> 00:40:08,452
What's that worth?

731
00:40:08,454 --> 00:40:09,753
Worth a lot.

732
00:40:09,755 --> 00:40:12,155
The two combined can
carry significant weight.

733
00:40:12,157 --> 00:40:14,124
But you understand the risks?

734
00:40:14,126 --> 00:40:15,425
What you're looking at?

735
00:40:15,427 --> 00:40:16,727
Yeah.

736
00:40:16,729 --> 00:40:19,633
I gotta be transferred
to protective custody first.

737
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,070
This what you want to do?

738
00:40:23,735 --> 00:40:26,202
I don't want to,

739
00:40:26,204 --> 00:40:28,171
but I will.

740
00:40:39,519 --> 00:40:41,218
Hello?

741
00:40:51,329 --> 00:40:53,196
No one's supposed
to be in here.

742
00:40:53,198 --> 00:40:54,597
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm... I'm...

743
00:40:54,599 --> 00:40:57,568
I'm an attorney here,
and I was looking

744
00:40:57,570 --> 00:41:00,504
for Mr. Pierce. I wanted
to talk to him about this case.

745
00:41:00,506 --> 00:41:02,405
He's in depositions all day.

746
00:41:02,407 --> 00:41:04,677
Mr. Salinas is supervising
attorney in his absence.

747
00:41:05,912 --> 00:41:07,510
You'll have to leave.

748
00:41:07,512 --> 00:41:10,381
I'm sorry.

749
00:41:10,383 --> 00:41:13,416
I don't know why they sent
me this. I need more than this.

750
00:41:13,418 --> 00:41:14,852
That's all we got.

751
00:41:14,854 --> 00:41:16,419
I don't want the summary.

752
00:41:16,421 --> 00:41:18,521
- I want the full deposition here.
- Okay.

753
00:41:18,523 --> 00:41:20,457
And what about tomorrow?
What's my agenda?

754
00:41:20,459 --> 00:41:22,926
- You're downtown all day.
- What is first?

755
00:41:22,928 --> 00:41:24,528
Mr. Rutner at 9 a.m.

756
00:41:24,530 --> 00:41:26,530
No, I don't
want to meet with him.

757
00:41:38,244 --> 00:41:40,510
- <i>Hello?</i>
- Ah, hello.

758
00:41:40,512 --> 00:41:42,546
My name is
Roman J. Israel, Esquire

759
00:41:42,548 --> 00:41:45,816
from the law offices
of George Pierce.

760
00:41:45,818 --> 00:41:47,952
I represent Derrell Ellerbee.

761
00:41:47,954 --> 00:41:51,287
I'd like to speak to
ADA Kate Becker.

762
00:41:51,289 --> 00:41:53,159
<i>Speaking.</i>

763
00:41:53,959 --> 00:41:56,760
Oh. Oh, okay. Sorry.

764
00:41:56,762 --> 00:41:58,928
- Uh, h-hi.
- <i>Hi.</i>

765
00:41:58,930 --> 00:42:02,233
My client,
Mr. Derrell Ellerbee

766
00:42:02,235 --> 00:42:05,669
is interested
in discussing a deal.

767
00:42:05,671 --> 00:42:08,338
I have 40 open cases,
so refresh me.

768
00:42:08,340 --> 00:42:09,939
<i>Right, uh, uh...</i>

769
00:42:09,941 --> 00:42:12,943
Convenience store shooting.

770
00:42:12,945 --> 00:42:16,981
An Armenian man was killed,
and there's a reward offered?

771
00:42:16,983 --> 00:42:18,881
Uh-huh. Okay, I have it.

772
00:42:18,883 --> 00:42:20,283
<i>The shooter,</i>

773
00:42:20,285 --> 00:42:23,720
in this case, is a fugitive

774
00:42:23,722 --> 00:42:25,455
Carter Johnson.

775
00:42:25,457 --> 00:42:28,459
My client may know
his whereabouts

776
00:42:28,461 --> 00:42:30,327
and might be willing
to testify.

777
00:42:30,329 --> 00:42:31,861
He'll deliver on that?

778
00:42:31,863 --> 00:42:33,463
Well, that depends.

779
00:42:33,465 --> 00:42:35,466
If you waive all
objections and appeal,

780
00:42:35,468 --> 00:42:37,401
and he's willing
to cooperate,

781
00:42:37,403 --> 00:42:39,336
then we'll drop the assault
and kidnapping.

782
00:42:39,338 --> 00:42:40,937
<i>And we'll reduce murder one</i>

783
00:42:40,939 --> 00:42:43,307
<i>to manslaughter,
voluntary, 10 years.</i>

784
00:42:43,309 --> 00:42:44,742
Involuntary, three to five.

785
00:42:44,744 --> 00:42:46,977
No, a 21-year-old clerk
was killed

786
00:42:46,979 --> 00:42:48,312
in a commission of a robbery.

787
00:42:48,314 --> 00:42:49,680
It won't happen.

788
00:42:49,682 --> 00:42:52,582
Well my client is giving
you the whole case

789
00:42:52,584 --> 00:42:54,450
at a great risk to himself.

790
00:42:54,452 --> 00:42:55,852
<i>Let's discuss
mitigating circumstances.</i>

791
00:42:55,854 --> 00:42:59,289
Let's not. Voluntary
manslaughter, 10 years.

792
00:42:59,291 --> 00:43:00,823
It's a good deal.

793
00:43:00,825 --> 00:43:02,492
It's an enema of sunshine.

794
00:43:02,494 --> 00:43:04,361
I don't have time for this.

795
00:43:04,363 --> 00:43:06,530
Well, I'm sorry for
taking a nanosecond

796
00:43:06,532 --> 00:43:09,365
off of your assembly-line,
rubber-stamp existence.

797
00:43:09,367 --> 00:43:11,434
The People withdraw
their offer.

798
00:43:11,436 --> 00:43:13,704
I don't care what the...
Hello?

799
00:43:38,396 --> 00:43:40,332
Hi.

800
00:43:41,334 --> 00:43:42,932
- Hi.
- Hey.

801
00:43:42,934 --> 00:43:45,535
You didn't want to park closer?
There are spaces.

802
00:43:45,537 --> 00:43:47,771
No, I don't have a car.

803
00:43:47,773 --> 00:43:49,673
Wow, that's gotta
be tough in L.A.

804
00:43:49,675 --> 00:43:52,843
I've always imagined
life with one.

805
00:43:52,845 --> 00:43:54,111
Thanks for doing this.

806
00:43:54,113 --> 00:43:55,546
Oh, you're welcome.

807
00:43:55,548 --> 00:43:57,481
Public speaking
is something

808
00:43:57,483 --> 00:44:00,452
I'm usually
encouraged to avoid.

809
00:44:01,854 --> 00:44:04,555
So in anticipation
of Tuesday's protest,

810
00:44:04,557 --> 00:44:07,758
I've invited attorney

811
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,093
Roman Israel

812
00:44:10,095 --> 00:44:11,829
to talk about our rights,

813
00:44:11,831 --> 00:44:14,097
and what to expect
if you are arrested.

814
00:44:14,099 --> 00:44:15,765
Roman.

815
00:44:15,767 --> 00:44:16,966
Thank you.

816
00:44:22,842 --> 00:44:24,843
All right.

817
00:44:26,412 --> 00:44:29,445
Back to my beginnings.

818
00:44:29,447 --> 00:44:32,818
It feels good.

819
00:44:35,621 --> 00:44:39,890
Hell, that was 40 years ago.
So here we go. We're gonna...

820
00:44:39,892 --> 00:44:41,992
We're gonna rap...
I don't mean hip-hop.

821
00:44:44,028 --> 00:44:48,131
...a little while about
some good old-fashioned

822
00:44:48,133 --> 00:44:53,604
grassroots,
in-your-face protesting.

823
00:44:53,606 --> 00:44:57,474
The time has come
to put social revolution

824
00:44:57,476 --> 00:45:00,611
squarely back on the agenda

825
00:45:00,613 --> 00:45:02,716
where it belongs.

826
00:45:03,782 --> 00:45:05,584
Look at you.

827
00:45:08,621 --> 00:45:10,490
Just like I was.

828
00:45:11,624 --> 00:45:16,526
Just starting out
your fight against

829
00:45:16,528 --> 00:45:19,762
the dominant tendencies
of our society.

830
00:45:19,764 --> 00:45:21,765
Well,

831
00:45:21,767 --> 00:45:24,167
you better get ready
for the commitment it takes

832
00:45:24,169 --> 00:45:26,903
to lead a resistant lifestyle.

833
00:45:26,905 --> 00:45:28,771
You better start forging

834
00:45:28,773 --> 00:45:32,041
the armor to withstand
the temptation

835
00:45:32,043 --> 00:45:35,912
and the financial
and emotional toll.

836
00:45:35,914 --> 00:45:38,481
Because when it comes
to social injustice

837
00:45:38,483 --> 00:45:40,584
and judicial indifference

838
00:45:40,586 --> 00:45:42,619
and institutional racism

839
00:45:42,621 --> 00:45:44,620
and outright goddamn greed

840
00:45:44,622 --> 00:45:46,756
the overwhelming majority
of the people

841
00:45:46,758 --> 00:45:48,791
in this country
just don't give a damn.

842
00:45:48,793 --> 00:45:51,495
- That's right.
- That's right.

843
00:45:51,497 --> 00:45:53,796
Civil or uncivil disobedience.

844
00:45:53,798 --> 00:45:56,934
The First Amendment to protect
your right to freedom of speech

845
00:45:56,936 --> 00:46:01,537
as long as you don't incite
violence or law-breaking.

846
00:46:01,539 --> 00:46:04,073
And there are gonna be people
that get caught up in the march.

847
00:46:04,075 --> 00:46:06,776
They're gonna vandalize.
They're... I'm sorry. Excuse me.

848
00:46:06,778 --> 00:46:08,678
I see two sisters standing.

849
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,418
Why are the sisters standing
and the brothers sitting?

850
00:46:12,218 --> 00:46:13,916
If we wanna sit,
we can ask.

851
00:46:13,918 --> 00:46:16,220
Well, you ladies gotta
speak up for yourselves.

852
00:46:16,222 --> 00:46:18,021
This ain't 40 years ago.

853
00:46:18,023 --> 00:46:21,959
There's no statute
of limitations on chivalry.

854
00:46:21,961 --> 00:46:24,827
- That's gendered and sexist.
- And polite.

855
00:46:24,829 --> 00:46:27,030
- And patronizing.
- And polite.

856
00:46:27,032 --> 00:46:29,468
What kind of law
do you practice?

857
00:46:31,871 --> 00:46:35,004
I'm a criminal
defense attorney.

858
00:46:35,006 --> 00:46:37,541
You ever represent
domestic violence defendants?

859
00:46:37,543 --> 00:46:38,774
Many times.

860
00:46:38,776 --> 00:46:40,244
Knowing that they're guilty?

861
00:46:40,246 --> 00:46:41,278
Meaning what?

862
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,012
Meaning you have a choice.

863
00:46:43,014 --> 00:46:45,983
Watch it. Someday you may need
the Sixth Amendment.

864
00:46:45,985 --> 00:46:48,684
Oh, that's lawyer talk.

865
00:46:48,686 --> 00:46:50,720
Oh, I see.
So we got a Sarah Lawrence

866
00:46:50,722 --> 00:46:52,122
soul sister in the band.

867
00:46:52,124 --> 00:46:54,157
Ha, ha, I'm not
your sister, asshole.

868
00:46:54,159 --> 00:46:55,258
Oh, whoa, whoa...

869
00:46:55,260 --> 00:46:56,526
I'm not an asshole, sister.

870
00:46:56,528 --> 00:46:57,861
Hey, fuck you, brother.

871
00:46:59,264 --> 00:47:01,865
Settle down, okay?
Thank you, Roman.

872
00:47:01,867 --> 00:47:04,267
- Okay.
- Did you bring something to help?

873
00:47:06,037 --> 00:47:07,803
Roman.

874
00:47:07,805 --> 00:47:09,575
Roman.

875
00:47:11,744 --> 00:47:14,144
I feel like I need
to apologize for that.

876
00:47:14,146 --> 00:47:16,546
No you don't. It's my fault.
I say things.

877
00:47:16,548 --> 00:47:19,182
- Are you okay?
- No, I... Yeah, it's okay.

878
00:47:19,184 --> 00:47:20,850
It just got out of hand.

879
00:47:20,852 --> 00:47:23,854
My meanings seem to obfuscate
more than clarify.

880
00:47:23,856 --> 00:47:26,622
I mean, that's what
the discourse is.

881
00:47:26,624 --> 00:47:28,291
- It's changed over the years.
- Right.

882
00:47:28,293 --> 00:47:29,825
- It's what we talked about.
- You did.

883
00:47:29,827 --> 00:47:31,695
That's a lot of what
this is about.

884
00:47:31,697 --> 00:47:33,597
I just can't
seem to remove myself

885
00:47:33,599 --> 00:47:37,033
from what's happened
in my life. I...

886
00:47:37,035 --> 00:47:38,901
This is where we are,
the way the world is.

887
00:47:38,903 --> 00:47:40,604
And I didn't even
want to come out.

888
00:47:40,606 --> 00:47:42,809
The nuns said
I was a forceps baby.

889
00:47:43,809 --> 00:47:46,209
- Me too.
- Yeah?

890
00:47:46,211 --> 00:47:47,778
- No.
- No?

891
00:47:47,780 --> 00:47:49,649
No.

892
00:48:02,727 --> 00:48:05,195
Is he okay?

893
00:48:05,197 --> 00:48:06,597
I don't feel anything.

894
00:48:06,599 --> 00:48:07,767
Check his neck.

895
00:48:12,070 --> 00:48:13,605
No.

896
00:48:29,622 --> 00:48:30,988
What happened?

897
00:48:30,990 --> 00:48:32,923
We just found him.
I think he's dead.

898
00:48:32,925 --> 00:48:36,292
All right,
don't touch anything.

899
00:48:36,294 --> 00:48:39,262
Man down, black
male, 60 years of age.

900
00:48:39,264 --> 00:48:42,135
Not responding. Request RA.

901
00:48:43,202 --> 00:48:44,300
What did I just say?

902
00:48:44,302 --> 00:48:45,669
He doesn't have ID.

903
00:48:45,671 --> 00:48:46,836
What did you
put in there?

904
00:48:46,838 --> 00:48:49,372
- My card.
- Take it out.

905
00:48:49,374 --> 00:48:51,207
Well, without ID

906
00:48:51,209 --> 00:48:54,111
he'll get cremated and mixed up
with 1000 other homeless people.

907
00:48:54,113 --> 00:48:55,979
Take it out.

908
00:48:55,981 --> 00:48:58,914
It's just my name and number
for the coroner to call me.

909
00:48:58,916 --> 00:49:01,751
- Did you hear my partner?
- Okay.

910
00:49:01,753 --> 00:49:03,854
- Do what they say.
- I want to pay for the burial.

911
00:49:03,856 --> 00:49:05,122
I'm not telling you again.

912
00:49:05,124 --> 00:49:06,990
I won't let him
get swallowed up.

913
00:49:06,992 --> 00:49:08,858
I won't let him disappear,
completely forgotten.

914
00:49:08,860 --> 00:49:10,862
He most certainly
was somebody.

915
00:49:29,381 --> 00:49:33,249
<i>All Wilshire units.
Possible 187. Suspect there now.</i>

916
00:49:33,251 --> 00:49:35,919
<i>Western and Third
at Chinatown Express.</i>

917
00:49:35,921 --> 00:49:37,454
<i>Suspects are
two male Hispanics.</i>

918
00:49:37,456 --> 00:49:39,055
<i>Number one, large build...</i>

919
00:49:39,057 --> 00:49:40,726
I'm sorry.

920
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:43,392
What do you mean?
That was unbelievable.

921
00:49:43,394 --> 00:49:44,928
I thought he had no pulse.

922
00:49:44,930 --> 00:49:46,195
No one does that.

923
00:49:46,197 --> 00:49:47,763
Yeah, for good reason.

924
00:49:51,235 --> 00:49:53,704
Hey. Yeah, I-I stepped out.

925
00:49:53,706 --> 00:49:55,941
I'll be right back.

926
00:49:57,075 --> 00:49:59,408
- I have to get back.
- Yeah. Okay.

927
00:50:01,180 --> 00:50:02,312
I'm gonna call you.

928
00:50:02,314 --> 00:50:04,250
Yeah, thank you. Me too.

929
00:50:28,173 --> 00:50:29,941
We have a problem.

930
00:50:31,843 --> 00:50:32,979
Come in.

931
00:50:35,247 --> 00:50:37,082
Close the door.

932
00:50:41,954 --> 00:50:44,854
Where did you get the idea you
could try and negotiate a plea?

933
00:50:44,856 --> 00:50:46,957
Who told you
you could do that?

934
00:50:46,959 --> 00:50:50,292
To just ignore
what I emphatically told you?

935
00:50:50,294 --> 00:50:52,461
Derrell Ellerbee was
stabbed and killed

936
00:50:52,463 --> 00:50:54,064
this morning in general lockup.

937
00:50:54,066 --> 00:50:55,932
His aunt told me
that Derrell requested

938
00:50:55,934 --> 00:50:57,334
protective custody last night,

939
00:50:57,336 --> 00:50:59,135
but was delayed
because the prosecutor said

940
00:50:59,137 --> 00:51:01,805
you pissed on her deal,
Roman.

941
00:51:01,807 --> 00:51:03,240
That offer should, by law,

942
00:51:03,242 --> 00:51:05,341
have been presented
to the client, it was not.

943
00:51:05,343 --> 00:51:07,843
As of now, you've exposed us
to a malpractice suit,

944
00:51:07,845 --> 00:51:10,412
Roman, I would kill
to be on the other side of.

945
00:51:10,414 --> 00:51:12,983
You've had difficulty
comprehending my meaning,

946
00:51:12,985 --> 00:51:15,285
so I'll be very, very clear.

947
00:51:15,287 --> 00:51:17,220
As much as I wanna fire you,
I can't,

948
00:51:17,222 --> 00:51:19,890
as that could be construed as
acknowledgment of wrongdoing.

949
00:51:19,892 --> 00:51:22,925
So I'm gonna retain you, Roman.

950
00:51:22,927 --> 00:51:25,861
I'm gonna retain you,
and then I'm gonna fire you.

951
00:51:25,863 --> 00:51:27,497
If you attempt to quit
or you stop coming in

952
00:51:27,499 --> 00:51:30,033
I swear to God, I'll hit you
with a motion to recoup damages

953
00:51:30,035 --> 00:51:32,004
and I'll have you disbarred.

954
00:51:33,505 --> 00:51:35,307
We're done here.

955
00:51:57,996 --> 00:51:59,396
Yo, hey, man. Hey.

956
00:51:59,398 --> 00:52:02,966
Yo, man, I'm sorry
to bother you, man, but...

957
00:52:02,968 --> 00:52:04,568
Maybe you can help me out
with money or some...

958
00:52:04,570 --> 00:52:07,336
I mean, anything.
Look, you see where I'm at, man.

959
00:52:07,338 --> 00:52:09,573
All right. Slow down,
slow down, slow down.

960
00:52:09,575 --> 00:52:11,341
Okay, man. I'm sorry.

961
00:52:11,343 --> 00:52:14,144
Look, I appreciate it, man.
Look, I know it's late.

962
00:52:14,146 --> 00:52:16,146
I appreciate you helping me.
Cool, man.

963
00:52:16,148 --> 00:52:17,881
Here's some tickets
for the mission.

964
00:52:18,916 --> 00:52:20,385
Give me the iPod, man!

965
00:52:24,322 --> 00:52:26,155
- Give it to me. Come on.
- Get off me.

966
00:52:26,157 --> 00:52:28,124
- The iPod!
- I don't have any money!

967
00:52:28,126 --> 00:52:30,059
- Come on!
- You got the wrong guy!

968
00:52:30,061 --> 00:52:32,361
You got the wrong guy!

969
00:52:47,079 --> 00:52:49,816
You got the wrong guy.

970
00:53:24,515 --> 00:53:26,218
What?

971
00:53:30,655 --> 00:53:32,157
What?

972
00:54:19,137 --> 00:54:20,736
Well, well.

973
00:54:20,738 --> 00:54:24,640
Come over and sit.
He'll be glad you're here.

974
00:54:24,642 --> 00:54:26,175
He's awake?

975
00:54:26,177 --> 00:54:28,980
No, but I believe
somewhere he knows.

976
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,318
He was so very fond of you.

977
00:54:33,751 --> 00:54:35,318
He looks a lot worse.

978
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:37,320
It won't be long now.

979
00:54:37,322 --> 00:54:41,191
Last ripple of a mighty wave
washed ashore here.

980
00:54:41,193 --> 00:54:43,425
And left us high and dry.

981
00:54:43,427 --> 00:54:46,562
No, he didn't leave us.
He'll never leave us.

982
00:54:46,564 --> 00:54:51,369
I thought it was built
on good ground, but...

983
00:54:52,604 --> 00:54:54,070
there's nothing under it.

984
00:54:54,072 --> 00:54:57,006
Roman, what's wrong?

985
00:54:57,008 --> 00:54:59,341
You're too near me
to hear me.

986
00:54:59,343 --> 00:55:01,745
Can't you see?
It's clear as crystal.

987
00:55:01,747 --> 00:55:03,579
- What?
- We filed the wrong brief

988
00:55:03,581 --> 00:55:06,316
in the wrong court
to the wrong judge.

989
00:55:06,318 --> 00:55:08,218
What are you talking about?

990
00:55:08,220 --> 00:55:10,320
A world where everyone's
feelings are reciprocated.

991
00:55:10,322 --> 00:55:13,492
The capacity for everyone
to contribute. Come on.

992
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:18,028
Freedom is something
you can only give yourself.

993
00:55:18,030 --> 00:55:19,662
That's nothing he agreed with.

994
00:55:19,664 --> 00:55:23,499
I don't have any time anymore.
I don't have time to waste.

995
00:55:23,501 --> 00:55:25,434
Trying to...

996
00:55:25,436 --> 00:55:29,104
tell people not
to sleep so tight.

997
00:55:29,106 --> 00:55:31,640
Telling people to turn around.
Toward what?

998
00:55:31,642 --> 00:55:34,044
Roman, sit down.

999
00:55:34,046 --> 00:55:36,379
There's no need anymore.

1000
00:55:36,381 --> 00:55:39,314
The incapacity ceases with

1001
00:55:39,316 --> 00:55:41,251
the cause that produces it.

1002
00:55:41,253 --> 00:55:42,785
Roman, he can hear you.

1003
00:55:42,787 --> 00:55:45,655
Well, that's what
I came to say.

1004
00:55:45,657 --> 00:55:47,457
Anyway, he...

1005
00:55:53,264 --> 00:55:55,100
Anyway, he's gone, so...

1006
00:55:58,235 --> 00:55:59,702
What he fought for,

1007
00:55:59,704 --> 00:56:03,138
what he takes with him,
that lasts forever.

1008
00:56:03,140 --> 00:56:05,108
Eroding as it was conceived.

1009
00:56:05,110 --> 00:56:08,678
What is wrong with you?

1010
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:10,446
You know,
there's a shop by the ocean

1011
00:56:10,448 --> 00:56:12,548
that makes maple-glazed
turkey bacon doughnuts.

1012
00:56:12,550 --> 00:56:14,550
People sit under palm trees
and eat them

1013
00:56:14,552 --> 00:56:17,153
while the breezes are blowing
and the dolphins are playing.

1014
00:56:17,155 --> 00:56:19,122
I'm gonna go there.

1015
00:56:19,124 --> 00:56:20,557
Roman, all right, sit down.

1016
00:56:20,559 --> 00:56:23,792
- No. I'm gonna get one.
- No, no, sit down.

1017
00:56:23,794 --> 00:56:26,463
Roman.

1018
00:56:26,465 --> 00:56:27,629
Roman...

1019
00:57:51,448 --> 00:57:52,948
<i>Hello?</i>

1020
00:57:52,950 --> 00:57:55,718
Hello. I'm calling
in-in-in reference

1021
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:57,921
to the deceased store clerk.

1022
00:57:57,923 --> 00:58:00,390
<i>I'm sorry?</i>

1023
00:58:00,392 --> 00:58:02,591
The... Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm calling in reference

1024
00:58:02,593 --> 00:58:05,894
to the... The shooter
of the deceased store clerk.

1025
00:58:05,896 --> 00:58:08,166
<i>Hold on a sec.</i>

1026
00:58:12,736 --> 00:58:14,269
Yes, can I help you?

1027
00:58:14,271 --> 00:58:16,673
Yes, the-the-the...

1028
00:58:16,675 --> 00:58:19,408
The man who did it,
I know where he is.

1029
00:58:19,410 --> 00:58:20,876
<i>I'm ready.</i>

1030
00:58:20,878 --> 00:58:25,615
Um, well, I'm calling about
the reward, the $100,000?

1031
00:58:25,617 --> 00:58:27,584
You know the name
of the suspect?

1032
00:58:27,586 --> 00:58:29,686
<i>We've had a lot of false leads.</i>

1033
00:58:29,688 --> 00:58:31,590
Carter T. Johnson.

1034
00:58:34,425 --> 00:58:35,892
<i>Where is he?</i>

1035
00:58:35,894 --> 00:58:40,329
Well, the-the man who did it,
I have an address.

1036
00:58:40,331 --> 00:58:42,999
<i>The clerk was my nephew.</i>

1037
00:58:43,001 --> 00:58:46,535
Listen, I'm-I'm
not comfortable, uh, uh

1038
00:58:46,537 --> 00:58:49,972
identifying myself.
I have a mechanism to collect

1039
00:58:49,974 --> 00:58:53,309
which protects, um, who I am.

1040
00:58:53,311 --> 00:58:54,977
<i>You could just say
where he is.</i>

1041
00:58:54,979 --> 00:58:56,479
<i>Civic duty.</i>

1042
00:58:56,481 --> 00:58:58,513
<i>Basic human dignity.</i>

1043
00:58:58,515 --> 00:59:00,582
Look, this is an achievement
for me, okay?

1044
00:59:00,584 --> 00:59:02,684
Not an inherent state
of my existence.

1045
00:59:02,686 --> 00:59:07,256
I want the money in cash as
soon as he's arrested, $100,000.

1046
00:59:07,258 --> 00:59:08,791
<i>Can't do cash.</i>

1047
00:59:08,793 --> 00:59:10,425
<i>Too risky.</i>

1048
00:59:10,427 --> 00:59:11,894
I'm the one taking the risk.

1049
00:59:11,896 --> 00:59:15,367
It's gotta be cash.
That's the way it is.

1050
00:59:16,401 --> 00:59:18,934
Okay. Fine.

1051
00:59:18,936 --> 00:59:20,535
<i>I don't care who you are.</i>

1052
00:59:20,537 --> 00:59:22,305
<i>I just want
the bastards caught.</i>

1053
00:59:22,307 --> 00:59:23,972
Okay. Okay.

1054
00:59:23,974 --> 00:59:25,941
- <i>The reward stands.</i>
- Okay.

1055
00:59:25,943 --> 00:59:27,676
<i>Information leading
to an arrest.</i>

1056
00:59:27,678 --> 00:59:29,782
- Okay.
- <i>You want cash, I'll do cash.</i>

1057
00:59:30,981 --> 00:59:33,615
<i>Give me the information.</i>

1058
01:03:23,981 --> 01:03:26,983
- You have a good day.
- Have a good one.

1059
01:03:26,985 --> 01:03:29,117
- Good morning.
- Morning. Yes, it is.

1060
01:03:29,119 --> 01:03:31,586
Good morning. I'll get three
of your turkey bacon

1061
01:03:31,588 --> 01:03:33,122
maple-glazed doughnuts, please.

1062
01:03:33,124 --> 01:03:35,858
Three turkey bacon maple.
Something to drink with that?

1063
01:03:35,860 --> 01:03:40,028
Yes, the hibiscus
pomegranate cooler.

1064
01:03:40,030 --> 01:03:42,601
Hibiscus pomegranate cooler.

1065
01:03:44,035 --> 01:03:45,700
Twelve dollars on the nose.

1066
01:03:45,702 --> 01:03:47,202
Can you break 100?

1067
01:03:47,204 --> 01:03:48,704
Of course.

1068
01:03:55,747 --> 01:03:57,747
Eighty-eight back to you.

1069
01:03:57,749 --> 01:04:00,216
- Keep the change.
- Hey, thanks.

1070
01:04:25,610 --> 01:04:28,343
- Those fit?
- Yeah. Yeah.

1071
01:04:28,345 --> 01:04:31,580
- You think so?
- Trust me.

1072
01:04:31,582 --> 01:04:33,950
Can I get you
anything else today, sir?

1073
01:04:33,952 --> 01:04:35,318
A suit.

1074
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:37,019
Suits.

1075
01:04:37,021 --> 01:04:38,823
Now we're talking.

1076
01:04:42,994 --> 01:04:45,061
Loews Santa
Monica Beach Hotel.

1077
01:04:45,063 --> 01:04:47,729
Good afternoon.
How may I help you?

1078
01:04:47,731 --> 01:04:49,231
Welcome, sir. Checking in?

1079
01:04:49,233 --> 01:04:50,932
Roman J. Israel, Esquire.

1080
01:04:50,934 --> 01:04:52,803
- Welcome to Loews.
- Thank you.

1081
01:07:08,271 --> 01:07:09,472
Fuck.

1082
01:07:29,093 --> 01:07:31,227
- <i>It's a very nice suit.</i>
- <i>Thank you.</i>

1083
01:07:31,229 --> 01:07:35,898
Lynn went to your apartment
this weekend to speak with you,

1084
01:07:35,900 --> 01:07:37,832
but you weren't there.

1085
01:07:37,834 --> 01:07:40,104
Oh, I must have been out.

1086
01:07:41,305 --> 01:07:44,776
You... You don't know
what I'm talking about.

1087
01:07:45,510 --> 01:07:47,843
- You're firing me?
- No.

1088
01:07:47,845 --> 01:07:50,379
No. People became concerned
after you went to the hospital

1089
01:07:50,381 --> 01:07:53,414
Friday morning, and it was
decided, after some discussion,

1090
01:07:53,416 --> 01:07:56,954
that it was best not to leave
a message on your phone.

1091
01:07:58,256 --> 01:07:59,858
William died.

1092
01:08:01,526 --> 01:08:02,858
When?

1093
01:08:02,860 --> 01:08:04,762
Friday night, actually.

1094
01:08:05,896 --> 01:08:08,332
- I'm sorry.
- You didn't kill him.

1095
01:08:10,300 --> 01:08:12,867
There's gonna be a small
private funeral on Wednesday,

1096
01:08:12,869 --> 01:08:16,104
and then a full memorial
in several weeks.

1097
01:08:16,106 --> 01:08:17,273
Is that it?

1098
01:08:17,275 --> 01:08:19,074
I don't know
what you're feeling...

1099
01:08:19,076 --> 01:08:21,476
given how close you were.

1100
01:08:21,478 --> 01:08:24,182
I mean, I guess...
I guess I can kind of imagine.

1101
01:08:25,348 --> 01:08:27,248
Yeah. I put that behind me.

1102
01:08:27,250 --> 01:08:31,587
Well, I'm sorry for my outburst
the other day. I was...

1103
01:08:31,589 --> 01:08:33,454
I was overly harsh.

1104
01:08:33,456 --> 01:08:35,024
Lynn's been telling me

1105
01:08:35,026 --> 01:08:36,992
how vital you were
to William's work.

1106
01:08:36,994 --> 01:08:39,261
Always in the shadows,
never flagging,

1107
01:08:39,263 --> 01:08:40,995
and I pulled you
out of the back room

1108
01:08:40,997 --> 01:08:44,300
and forced you out
onto the floor. It was...

1109
01:08:44,302 --> 01:08:46,435
It was a lot to ask.

1110
01:08:46,437 --> 01:08:48,570
I've gotten Felicity Ellerbee
to sign a document

1111
01:08:48,572 --> 01:08:52,141
absolving us of any wrongdoing
in her nephew's death.

1112
01:08:52,143 --> 01:08:54,008
It's a good thing that she...

1113
01:08:54,010 --> 01:08:55,343
She believes that you were

1114
01:08:55,345 --> 01:08:58,413
just acting
in Derrell's best interests.

1115
01:08:58,415 --> 01:09:00,315
So that's in the rearview.

1116
01:09:00,317 --> 01:09:03,452
I've also learned today that we
picked up three new clients,

1117
01:09:03,454 --> 01:09:05,421
all of whom came
as referrals from your cases.

1118
01:09:05,423 --> 01:09:07,222
It seems like
your personal attention,

1119
01:09:07,224 --> 01:09:08,489
giving out your cell phone,

1120
01:09:08,491 --> 01:09:10,258
is quite the calling card.

1121
01:09:10,260 --> 01:09:12,461
I wanna institute the practice
for all our attorneys.

1122
01:09:12,463 --> 01:09:13,799
Good.

1123
01:09:15,232 --> 01:09:17,233
Look, you can
still leave, of course.

1124
01:09:17,235 --> 01:09:19,267
I fully understand.
I think maybe there's a...

1125
01:09:19,269 --> 01:09:21,136
Maybe there's a place
for you here if you...

1126
01:09:21,138 --> 01:09:22,937
- I wanna stay.
- You would?

1127
01:09:22,939 --> 01:09:25,039
Yes. I mean...

1128
01:09:25,041 --> 01:09:27,109
I'm tired of doing
the impossible

1129
01:09:27,111 --> 01:09:30,982
for the ungrateful.
I now have, uh, more...

1130
01:09:31,915 --> 01:09:34,249
practical concerns.

1131
01:09:34,251 --> 01:09:36,485
The, uh...
The suit's a big change.

1132
01:09:36,487 --> 01:09:38,921
Thank you.

1133
01:09:38,923 --> 01:09:41,056
I prefer double-breasted,
but, uh...

1134
01:09:41,058 --> 01:09:42,624
Ha. You broke open
the piggy bank, huh?

1135
01:09:42,626 --> 01:09:44,959
Yeah. Yes, I did.

1136
01:09:44,961 --> 01:09:48,529
My lack of success
is self-imposed.

1137
01:09:53,603 --> 01:09:57,972
So, Israel, there's a rumor
that you know the CPC by heart.

1138
01:09:57,974 --> 01:09:59,374
Yeah. Guilty as charged.

1139
01:09:59,376 --> 01:10:02,243
- Pleadings.
- Nine forty-eight, 973.

1140
01:10:02,245 --> 01:10:04,078
- Demurrer for irregularity.
- 1248.

1141
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:05,480
Money laundering.

1142
01:10:05,482 --> 01:10:08,516
186.9, 186.10.

1143
01:10:08,518 --> 01:10:10,351
However, all pleadings
in those cases

1144
01:10:10,353 --> 01:10:12,553
are subject to the laws
of joinder and severance.

1145
01:10:12,555 --> 01:10:14,189
That's, uh, 954.

1146
01:10:14,191 --> 01:10:16,193
- Wow, impressive.
- Nice.

1147
01:10:17,193 --> 01:10:19,528
You gotta be kidding me.

1148
01:10:19,530 --> 01:10:21,062
I gotta go.

1149
01:10:21,064 --> 01:10:23,532
See you, Jessie.

1150
01:10:23,534 --> 01:10:27,269
Listen, um, I got a Prop 36
I could really use help with.

1151
01:10:27,271 --> 01:10:28,971
Okay.

1152
01:10:28,973 --> 01:10:31,239
We handled a lot of DTC motions
at my old firm.

1153
01:10:31,241 --> 01:10:33,943
Awesome. Um, I have some free
time this afternoon, if you do.

1154
01:10:33,945 --> 01:10:35,677
I don't know
what your caseload is like,

1155
01:10:35,679 --> 01:10:36,712
but I'll stop by?

1156
01:10:36,714 --> 01:10:38,012
- Yeah.
- Great.

1157
01:10:57,434 --> 01:11:00,302
So where do you
currently live?

1158
01:11:00,304 --> 01:11:02,604
Further away.

1159
01:11:02,606 --> 01:11:05,443
Well, if you lived here,
you'd be home by now.

1160
01:11:23,027 --> 01:11:25,427
Well, what do you think?

1161
01:11:25,429 --> 01:11:28,967
I think that
whatever we're chasing...

1162
01:11:30,433 --> 01:11:32,467
you got it all here.

1163
01:11:32,469 --> 01:11:35,337
- I'm sorry?
- When can I move in?

1164
01:11:35,339 --> 01:11:38,309
- Immediately.
- I'll take it.

1165
01:12:06,637 --> 01:12:08,470
Hello?

1166
01:12:08,472 --> 01:12:11,640
<i>Oh, hey.
It's, uh... It's Maya.</i>

1167
01:12:11,642 --> 01:12:12,807
Hi.

1168
01:12:12,809 --> 01:12:14,176
How are you doing?

1169
01:12:14,178 --> 01:12:15,778
Wonderful.

1170
01:12:15,780 --> 01:12:17,645
Good. I, uh...

1171
01:12:17,647 --> 01:12:21,283
I meant what I said last week
about staying in touch.

1172
01:12:21,285 --> 01:12:23,485
How's the new job?

1173
01:12:23,487 --> 01:12:27,722
Uh, I'm writing lengthy
interrogatories...

1174
01:12:27,724 --> 01:12:29,490
and amending complaints.

1175
01:12:29,492 --> 01:12:33,227
<i>It's no social-redeeming
quality or context.</i>

1176
01:12:33,229 --> 01:12:35,163
You know, it's...

1177
01:12:35,165 --> 01:12:37,267
It's awesome.

1178
01:12:39,103 --> 01:12:40,668
Okay.

1179
01:12:40,670 --> 01:12:44,308
Well, I was calling to see
if you wanted to go for dinner.

1180
01:12:46,110 --> 01:12:47,476
With me?

1181
01:12:47,478 --> 01:12:49,845
<i>With you?</i>

1182
01:12:49,847 --> 01:12:51,480
I'm confused.

1183
01:12:51,482 --> 01:12:53,548
I... I'd like that.

1184
01:12:53,550 --> 01:12:54,850
I'd like that.

1185
01:12:54,852 --> 01:12:57,555
- <i>I'd like that, yeah. Um...</i>
- Great.

1186
01:12:59,290 --> 01:13:01,559
Tonight? I mean...

1187
01:13:02,559 --> 01:13:04,325
<i>Tomorrow?</i>

1188
01:13:04,327 --> 01:13:06,328
- Works for me.
- <i>It works for me.</i>

1189
01:13:06,330 --> 01:13:09,198
Tonight works for me,
but I mean...

1190
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:11,436
All right. I'll... I...

1191
01:13:12,836 --> 01:13:14,168
Tomorrow. I'll do tomorrow.

1192
01:13:14,170 --> 01:13:15,537
<i>We'll do tomorrow.</i>

1193
01:13:15,539 --> 01:13:17,573
Okay. I'll see you then.

1194
01:13:17,575 --> 01:13:19,611
<i>Bye.</i>

1195
01:13:43,733 --> 01:13:45,570
Everybody in?

1196
01:13:52,343 --> 01:13:54,342
All right,
let's get started.

1197
01:13:54,344 --> 01:13:58,146
Under the new fee structure,
our advance on felony cases

1198
01:13:58,148 --> 01:14:00,516
rises from 2000 to 2500.

1199
01:14:00,518 --> 01:14:04,218
Our felony daily rate rises
to 1500 from 1000.

1200
01:14:04,220 --> 01:14:07,556
Now, of course, some people are
gonna gag at the new numbers,

1201
01:14:07,558 --> 01:14:10,758
but what we're selling is
our impressive win-loss record,

1202
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:12,761
our depth of talent,
all you fine people,

1203
01:14:12,763 --> 01:14:15,497
and, ultimately,
our lower all-in costs.

1204
01:14:15,499 --> 01:14:17,298
Take time to explain it
to people.

1205
01:14:17,300 --> 01:14:19,434
If you see a potential client
heading for the door,

1206
01:14:19,436 --> 01:14:22,503
you emphasize
our new personalized approach.

1207
01:14:22,505 --> 01:14:24,640
All right,
I've also decided to devote

1208
01:14:24,642 --> 01:14:27,508
a share of our time
to pro bono.

1209
01:14:27,510 --> 01:14:30,811
Now, that's not an area
we have much experience with,

1210
01:14:30,813 --> 01:14:32,547
but someone here does.

1211
01:14:32,549 --> 01:14:34,483
It's the first
he's heard about it,

1212
01:14:34,485 --> 01:14:38,386
but Roman will be heading up
our new pro bono program.

1213
01:14:38,388 --> 01:14:40,592
Roman, you wanna say
a few words?

1214
01:14:42,660 --> 01:14:44,793
Will this
cut into my salary?

1215
01:14:48,464 --> 01:14:50,735
I mean in terms
of billable hours?

1216
01:14:56,874 --> 01:14:58,539
Okay.

1217
01:14:58,541 --> 01:14:59,708
All right.

1218
01:14:59,710 --> 01:15:01,443
Connor, you'll be
assisting Roman.

1219
01:15:01,445 --> 01:15:02,810
I want to get moving
on it right away.

1220
01:15:02,812 --> 01:15:04,312
Folks, take a look.

1221
01:15:04,314 --> 01:15:05,780
It's already
in the new brochure.

1222
01:15:05,782 --> 01:15:07,783
All right, questions?

1223
01:15:07,785 --> 01:15:09,653
Nothing? Good.

1224
01:15:17,661 --> 01:15:19,828
Roman, I didn't
dress for this place.

1225
01:15:19,830 --> 01:15:21,329
Oh, there's no code.

1226
01:15:21,331 --> 01:15:22,931
It's a bit
uncomfortable for me.

1227
01:15:22,933 --> 01:15:24,399
You don't like it?

1228
01:15:24,401 --> 01:15:26,968
This will cost a fortune.

1229
01:15:26,970 --> 01:15:28,369
Well...

1230
01:15:28,371 --> 01:15:30,705
Yeah. We deserve it.

1231
01:15:30,707 --> 01:15:33,342
You know,
I really heard what you said,

1232
01:15:33,344 --> 01:15:35,377
the first time you came in.

1233
01:15:35,379 --> 01:15:36,712
About progressive lawyering

1234
01:15:36,714 --> 01:15:39,881
being the cornerstone
of modern activism.

1235
01:15:39,883 --> 01:15:45,486
Particularly given the tunnel
that we're descending into.

1236
01:15:45,488 --> 01:15:48,590
You, the few lawyers
like you...

1237
01:15:48,592 --> 01:15:50,592
Thank you.

1238
01:15:50,594 --> 01:15:53,462
You really took up
the mantle of leadership

1239
01:15:53,464 --> 01:15:55,329
with your own advocacy.

1240
01:15:55,331 --> 01:15:57,798
You're out there...

1241
01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:00,334
and alone for so many years.

1242
01:16:00,336 --> 01:16:02,607
I feel like...

1243
01:16:04,441 --> 01:16:06,941
I don't know. I feel
like I was meant to meet you.

1244
01:16:08,812 --> 01:16:10,381
Ah.

1245
01:16:16,719 --> 01:16:18,886
- Thank you.
- I've been going through

1246
01:16:18,888 --> 01:16:20,756
my own struggles.

1247
01:16:20,758 --> 01:16:24,659
You know, trying to balance
what I do...

1248
01:16:24,661 --> 01:16:27,798
and the sacrifices.

1249
01:16:29,500 --> 01:16:31,999
I've asked myself many times,
"Why do I see things

1250
01:16:32,001 --> 01:16:34,571
so differently
from other people?"

1251
01:16:35,673 --> 01:16:37,709
You know, why...?

1252
01:16:38,875 --> 01:16:41,943
Why do I care so much
that our humanity

1253
01:16:41,945 --> 01:16:43,548
is connected to each other?

1254
01:16:45,648 --> 01:16:48,285
I have moments...

1255
01:16:51,054 --> 01:16:54,858
I have extended periods
of real doubt.

1256
01:16:56,093 --> 01:16:58,263
I'm just holding on
by a thread.

1257
01:17:02,031 --> 01:17:04,065
So, uh...

1258
01:17:04,067 --> 01:17:06,001
hearing you...

1259
01:17:06,003 --> 01:17:09,706
and, um, understanding
what you've been through...

1260
01:17:11,075 --> 01:17:13,611
...and, uh... Thank you.

1261
01:17:15,478 --> 01:17:17,581
Just knowing you.

1262
01:17:18,848 --> 01:17:22,719
I mean, honestly,
Roman, you're inspiring.

1263
01:17:27,790 --> 01:17:30,124
I've never had
it before, but...

1264
01:17:30,126 --> 01:17:33,563
I imagined Duck à l'Orange
to be different somehow.

1265
01:17:35,832 --> 01:17:37,466
Jesus, I'm being serious.

1266
01:17:37,468 --> 01:17:40,401
Perhaps you need to look
at things differently.

1267
01:17:40,403 --> 01:17:42,002
You all right?

1268
01:17:42,004 --> 01:17:44,842
- How?
- Well...

1269
01:17:46,677 --> 01:17:50,447
the world is for wonderful
things, isn't it?

1270
01:17:51,415 --> 01:17:54,483
Define "wonderful."

1271
01:17:54,485 --> 01:17:56,586
Okay. As an example...

1272
01:17:57,955 --> 01:17:59,954
who says...

1273
01:17:59,956 --> 01:18:02,056
you can't steal a car
in self-defense?

1274
01:18:02,058 --> 01:18:03,658
In reference to what?

1275
01:18:03,660 --> 01:18:08,462
If one required
a means of escape, so to speak.

1276
01:18:08,464 --> 01:18:10,132
Escape from what?

1277
01:18:10,134 --> 01:18:14,735
Possibility to actuality.

1278
01:18:14,737 --> 01:18:17,439
I mean, it follows.
The logic is valid,

1279
01:18:17,441 --> 01:18:19,007
thus the premise is true.

1280
01:18:19,009 --> 01:18:22,177
Every weapon is a tool
if you hold it the right way.

1281
01:18:22,179 --> 01:18:25,180
You're
saying to justify something?

1282
01:18:25,182 --> 01:18:27,452
I'm saying...

1283
01:18:28,986 --> 01:18:30,854
purity...

1284
01:18:32,188 --> 01:18:34,758
...can't survive
in this world.

1285
01:18:37,795 --> 01:18:40,732
Living conditions
have bearing.

1286
01:18:41,932 --> 01:18:44,900
I'm talking about
the burden of activism.

1287
01:18:44,902 --> 01:18:46,200
Exactly.

1288
01:18:46,202 --> 01:18:48,502
What are you talking about?

1289
01:18:52,709 --> 01:18:55,177
My ears are ringing.

1290
01:18:55,179 --> 01:18:57,482
It's somebody's phone.

1291
01:18:58,781 --> 01:19:00,614
Roman.

1292
01:19:06,456 --> 01:19:09,427
It's very difficult
to be truthful.

1293
01:19:10,527 --> 01:19:12,927
Not just with principles...

1294
01:19:12,929 --> 01:19:14,529
but with yourself.

1295
01:19:14,531 --> 01:19:16,131
To admit that you
want something else

1296
01:19:16,133 --> 01:19:17,766
and to try and act on it.

1297
01:19:17,768 --> 01:19:20,635
But I don't want
something else.

1298
01:19:20,637 --> 01:19:24,905
I feel blessed
to believe in something.

1299
01:19:24,907 --> 01:19:26,744
The way you do.

1300
01:19:33,549 --> 01:19:35,717
Thanks for dinner.
That was very generous.

1301
01:19:35,719 --> 01:19:38,086
The portions were small.

1302
01:19:38,088 --> 01:19:43,225
I'm moving into a new place
in a few days, after 35 years.

1303
01:19:43,227 --> 01:19:45,260
You're going through
a lot of changes.

1304
01:19:45,262 --> 01:19:47,095
Yeah. Yeah.

1305
01:19:47,097 --> 01:19:48,997
Kind of worried
I'm gonna miss my old place.

1306
01:19:48,999 --> 01:19:50,832
Maybe you should wait
until you're sure.

1307
01:19:50,834 --> 01:19:53,735
Nah, signed the contract.
I can't go back.

1308
01:19:53,737 --> 01:19:56,805
- I called a car.
- Already got you one.

1309
01:19:56,807 --> 01:20:00,175
See, I can Uber and text.
It's right here.

1310
01:20:02,946 --> 01:20:04,980
- Thanks again.
- You're welcome.

1311
01:20:04,982 --> 01:20:07,849
Goodnight.

1312
01:20:07,851 --> 01:20:11,218
I just want you to know
how much you've helped me...

1313
01:20:11,220 --> 01:20:13,721
- by, uh, meeting you.
- Mm.

1314
01:20:13,723 --> 01:20:15,726
For what you do.

1315
01:20:20,597 --> 01:20:23,468
- Your hair looks great.
- Thank you.

1316
01:20:49,226 --> 01:20:52,827
William lived
on grand notions,

1317
01:20:52,829 --> 01:20:56,797
influenced by
impractical ideas...

1318
01:20:56,799 --> 01:20:58,867
in a house trembling
with promise

1319
01:20:58,869 --> 01:21:02,270
and shouts of triumphs
yet to come.

1320
01:21:02,272 --> 01:21:06,074
Imploring and inspiring.

1321
01:21:06,076 --> 01:21:10,177
A believer that the moral arc
of the universe is long,

1322
01:21:10,179 --> 01:21:12,881
but bends towards justice.

1323
01:21:12,883 --> 01:21:18,319
He ignited a spark
in each and every one of us...

1324
01:21:18,321 --> 01:21:21,922
and that light
can never die.

1325
01:21:24,594 --> 01:21:26,962
We have over 1000
attending the memorial.

1326
01:21:26,964 --> 01:21:28,663
Yeah, and not
one of them

1327
01:21:28,665 --> 01:21:30,899
returned his calls
when he was alive.

1328
01:21:30,901 --> 01:21:33,668
I think it would be great
if you spoke.

1329
01:21:33,670 --> 01:21:35,203
And tell them what?

1330
01:21:35,205 --> 01:21:38,707
- You two talk the same language.
- Yeah, no, thank you.

1331
01:21:38,709 --> 01:21:40,342
- If it's nerves...
- It's not.

1332
01:21:40,344 --> 01:21:44,346
- There's no one more deserving.
- They wouldn't wanna hear it.

1333
01:21:44,348 --> 01:21:46,080
Hear what?

1334
01:21:46,082 --> 01:21:49,085
The real enemies aren't on
the outside. They're within.

1335
01:21:52,622 --> 01:21:54,321
We'll talk soon.

1336
01:21:54,323 --> 01:21:55,826
I'll call you.

1337
01:21:58,795 --> 01:22:00,995
You take care of yourself.

1338
01:22:00,997 --> 01:22:02,230
I am.

1339
01:22:02,232 --> 01:22:05,102
I disbelieve that.

1340
01:22:08,205 --> 01:22:10,372
I'll be in touch.

1341
01:22:10,374 --> 01:22:12,610
Roman, I'll see you
at the office.

1342
01:22:13,376 --> 01:22:15,812
I have something
for you.

1343
01:22:27,857 --> 01:22:29,690
No, you're right.

1344
01:22:29,692 --> 01:22:31,860
That 2500
is higher than average.

1345
01:22:31,862 --> 01:22:34,762
But let me direct you
to our firm's win-loss record,

1346
01:22:34,764 --> 01:22:37,865
our lower all-in costs,
personalized service.

1347
01:22:37,867 --> 01:22:41,269
- It's all there in the brochure.
- I don't know.

1348
01:22:41,271 --> 01:22:44,239
You're wise to price shop.
Very, very wise.

1349
01:22:44,241 --> 01:22:46,740
When it comes to defending
your loved ones,

1350
01:22:46,742 --> 01:22:48,075
there's a lot of people
in prison

1351
01:22:48,077 --> 01:22:50,848
that would attest that
that's a bad idea.

1352
01:23:01,090 --> 01:23:03,026
We're going to do it.

1353
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:06,961
Okay.

1354
01:23:17,307 --> 01:23:20,708
<i>Tickets for this week's game</i>

1355
01:23:20,710 --> 01:23:22,310
<i>available now
on the main concourse,</i>

1356
01:23:22,312 --> 01:23:24,044
<i>right behind Aisle 14.</i>

1357
01:23:24,046 --> 01:23:26,914
Man, you've had
some crash course, huh?

1358
01:23:26,916 --> 01:23:30,851
From William Henry Jackson
to George Pierce?

1359
01:23:30,853 --> 01:23:32,953
What a ride.

1360
01:23:32,955 --> 01:23:34,788
You seem to be
settling in okay though.

1361
01:23:34,790 --> 01:23:36,760
From all appearances.

1362
01:23:37,460 --> 01:23:39,194
I got a lot of plans, Roman.

1363
01:23:39,196 --> 01:23:41,229
I mean, nothing we have to get
too deep into here,

1364
01:23:41,231 --> 01:23:42,963
understand, but...

1365
01:23:42,965 --> 01:23:45,934
down the line, there is a lot
I'd like to discuss.

1366
01:23:45,936 --> 01:23:47,769
I'm gonna want
your thoughts.

1367
01:23:47,771 --> 01:23:49,971
You know,
closer community contact...

1368
01:23:49,973 --> 01:23:52,273
taking on more family
and housing cases,

1369
01:23:52,275 --> 01:23:54,508
setting up alternative
work arrangements.

1370
01:23:54,510 --> 01:23:58,212
All while actually increasing
productivity and retention,

1371
01:23:58,214 --> 01:24:00,748
which is not to suggest
it's about drumming up business.

1372
01:24:00,750 --> 01:24:03,217
I mean, something's gotta get
you up in the morning, right?

1373
01:24:03,219 --> 01:24:05,419
Yes, three point.

1374
01:24:05,421 --> 01:24:08,056
And going back
to William Henry...

1375
01:24:08,058 --> 01:24:10,257
I told you I still remember
quotes from his class.

1376
01:24:10,259 --> 01:24:11,525
"I believe

1377
01:24:11,527 --> 01:24:14,698
because of my beliefs."

1378
01:24:15,898 --> 01:24:18,333
Cards-on-the-table time:
I was gonna leave law,

1379
01:24:18,335 --> 01:24:22,136
before I took his class.
After him, I doubled down.

1380
01:24:22,138 --> 01:24:24,538
You know, all his talk
of what could be

1381
01:24:24,540 --> 01:24:27,508
and the difference one man could
make. You gotta make a living.

1382
01:24:27,510 --> 01:24:29,476
Four offices, this market?

1383
01:24:29,478 --> 01:24:32,846
It's... It's no small thing.

1384
01:24:32,848 --> 01:24:34,315
Of course he didn't
see it that way.

1385
01:24:34,317 --> 01:24:36,016
He told me I was, uh...

1386
01:24:36,018 --> 01:24:38,319
I was drowning
in the shallow end.

1387
01:24:40,557 --> 01:24:44,191
Worse was, I knew it.

1388
01:24:44,193 --> 01:24:46,427
And then you
come along, you...

1389
01:24:46,429 --> 01:24:48,896
You shake things up a bit,
and here we are sitting,

1390
01:24:48,898 --> 01:24:52,167
talking new possibilities,
where we can go.

1391
01:24:52,169 --> 01:24:54,401
Hell, I don't
have to explain. You get it.

1392
01:24:54,403 --> 01:24:57,241
Christ, you're gonna be
right in the middle of it.

1393
01:25:39,515 --> 01:25:42,316
- Come on, man.
- That's bullshit.

1394
01:25:46,589 --> 01:25:49,390
Oof! L.A. traffic, man,
there's no getting around it.

1395
01:25:49,392 --> 01:25:51,592
Glad I caught you before we
came in. We just landed this.

1396
01:25:51,594 --> 01:25:54,127
It's a capital case.
You have experience with those?

1397
01:25:54,129 --> 01:25:55,430
We handled quite a few.

1398
01:25:55,432 --> 01:25:56,931
I'll make the introduction,

1399
01:25:56,933 --> 01:25:58,399
then I'll bow out
and you'll stay.

1400
01:25:58,401 --> 01:26:00,001
Okay.

1401
01:26:00,003 --> 01:26:01,869
I looked at that
prison overcrowding case

1402
01:26:01,871 --> 01:26:03,171
you and William worked on.

1403
01:26:03,173 --> 01:26:04,372
Which one?

1404
01:26:04,374 --> 01:26:05,907
Against Men's Central.

1405
01:26:05,909 --> 01:26:08,176
- You prevailed.
- Oh, that was overturned.

1406
01:26:08,178 --> 01:26:09,343
Yeah?

1407
01:26:09,345 --> 01:26:11,613
How's your big
plea-reform brief going?

1408
01:26:11,615 --> 01:26:13,448
Ah...

1409
01:26:13,450 --> 01:26:15,048
Put it aside.

1410
01:26:15,050 --> 01:26:17,351
Well, tell me more about it.
I'm interested.

1411
01:26:17,353 --> 01:26:20,221
Carried it as far
as I can take it.

1412
01:26:20,223 --> 01:26:21,922
Well, how about some help?

1413
01:26:21,924 --> 01:26:23,458
I mean, I've been
thinking about it.

1414
01:26:23,460 --> 01:26:25,426
I've become less skeptical
about the possibilities

1415
01:26:25,428 --> 01:26:28,128
and scope of what you said.
I could devote office resources,

1416
01:26:28,130 --> 01:26:29,430
help you complete the brief.

1417
01:26:29,432 --> 01:26:31,164
We could file at federal
court together.

1418
01:26:31,166 --> 01:26:32,967
That's the first step.
It'll take years

1419
01:26:32,969 --> 01:26:34,368
of commitment
to see it through.

1420
01:26:34,370 --> 01:26:36,904
Commitment doesn't seem
to be a problem for you.

1421
01:26:36,906 --> 01:26:38,538
I hear you're moving
to a new apartment.

1422
01:26:38,540 --> 01:26:40,675
- How'd you hear that?
- Payroll comes across my desk.

1423
01:26:40,677 --> 01:26:44,111
- I know that building, not cheap.
- I had money saved.

1424
01:26:44,113 --> 01:26:46,047
I mean, it's great.
It's a nice building.

1425
01:26:46,049 --> 01:26:48,349
No, I mean, I had money
saved for a long time.

1426
01:26:48,351 --> 01:26:50,618
- Well what else is it good for?
- Ha, ha.

1427
01:26:50,620 --> 01:26:52,552
- You got your ID?
- Yeah, yeah.

1428
01:26:52,554 --> 01:26:54,221
George Pierce
and Roman Israel

1429
01:26:54,223 --> 01:26:56,524
to see our client,
Carter Johnson.

1430
01:26:56,526 --> 01:26:58,525
- Carter Johnson?
- I meant to tell you.

1431
01:26:58,527 --> 01:27:01,261
They picked him up on Friday
from the Ellerbee case.

1432
01:27:01,263 --> 01:27:02,629
We've been retained.

1433
01:27:28,724 --> 01:27:30,557
Hello, Carter.

1434
01:27:30,559 --> 01:27:33,427
I'm George Pierce, and this is
my associate Roman Israel.

1435
01:27:33,429 --> 01:27:36,129
Roman is a devoted advocate
and a fabulous attorney.

1436
01:27:36,131 --> 01:27:39,333
And he's gonna be
the point person on your team.

1437
01:27:39,335 --> 01:27:42,203
- You're good, huh?
- Well, he's better than good.

1438
01:27:42,205 --> 01:27:44,538
Have you had a chance
to review the fee structure?

1439
01:27:44,540 --> 01:27:46,574
- The stuff you sent over? Yeah.
- Yeah.

1440
01:27:46,576 --> 01:27:48,709
You understand this is
a capital murder case?

1441
01:27:48,711 --> 01:27:50,444
- Yeah.
- All right, first off,

1442
01:27:50,446 --> 01:27:52,379
you wanna be fully up to speed
on your file.

1443
01:27:52,381 --> 01:27:55,315
You will make better decisions
if you're completely informed

1444
01:27:55,317 --> 01:27:58,052
about every aspect of your case
and you know all your options.

1445
01:27:58,054 --> 01:28:00,253
I know all my options.

1446
01:28:00,255 --> 01:28:03,423
Well, unfortunately, we, uh,
can't change what's been done.

1447
01:28:03,425 --> 01:28:05,493
That means
facing this head-on.

1448
01:28:05,495 --> 01:28:08,195
I think
you understand the penalties

1449
01:28:08,197 --> 01:28:10,163
you're facing
are very severe.

1450
01:28:10,165 --> 01:28:13,034
In overview,
we're gonna study the discovery

1451
01:28:13,036 --> 01:28:14,534
of the evidence
the prosecution gives us.

1452
01:28:14,536 --> 01:28:16,404
And we're gonna
force the prosecution

1453
01:28:16,406 --> 01:28:18,306
to give us anything
and everything we want.

1454
01:28:18,308 --> 01:28:20,475
- Roman, you wanna step in?
- Yeah, we're gonna...

1455
01:28:20,477 --> 01:28:24,779
We're gonna perform a private
investigation, and, uh...

1456
01:28:24,781 --> 01:28:26,681
devise a defense.

1457
01:28:26,683 --> 01:28:29,784
That's not all we'll do.
We'll outwork the prosecution.

1458
01:28:29,786 --> 01:28:31,519
All right?
We're gonna outwork them,

1459
01:28:31,521 --> 01:28:33,253
we're gonna outperform them.

1460
01:28:33,255 --> 01:28:36,123
And we're gonna get you
the best result possible.

1461
01:28:36,125 --> 01:28:37,557
Life in a cage.

1462
01:28:37,559 --> 01:28:39,459
Well, that's the outcome
we're fighting.

1463
01:28:39,461 --> 01:28:42,696
It'll be a long process,
and it's gonna cost quite a bit.

1464
01:28:42,698 --> 01:28:44,198
So with that in mind, I...

1465
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:45,632
I'd like to suggest
there's no need

1466
01:28:45,634 --> 01:28:47,568
for two billable attorneys
at this early phase.

1467
01:28:47,570 --> 01:28:50,974
If it's okay with you, I'll bow
out. I'll let Roman continue.

1468
01:28:51,775 --> 01:28:53,641
It's okay with me.

1469
01:28:53,643 --> 01:28:55,709
All right, Carter.

1470
01:28:55,711 --> 01:28:57,779
I'll be in touch.

1471
01:28:57,781 --> 01:28:59,547
Roman, I'll speak
with you later.

1472
01:28:59,549 --> 01:29:00,648
Okay.

1473
01:29:00,650 --> 01:29:02,251
Guard.

1474
01:29:05,487 --> 01:29:06,788
The, um...

1475
01:29:08,124 --> 01:29:10,525
Uh...

1476
01:29:10,527 --> 01:29:13,761
The prosecutors are gonna favor
a grand jury

1477
01:29:13,763 --> 01:29:18,533
over a preliminary hearing,
which will allow them to wait

1478
01:29:18,535 --> 01:29:20,534
and reveal the evidence
at the trial.

1479
01:29:20,536 --> 01:29:22,138
You represented Derrell.

1480
01:29:23,106 --> 01:29:25,205
Uh, briefly.

1481
01:29:25,207 --> 01:29:28,411
I asked for you
after talking to his cellie.

1482
01:29:30,146 --> 01:29:33,146
We have a number of legal
maneuvers we can employ,

1483
01:29:33,148 --> 01:29:34,815
to try and force a prelim.

1484
01:29:34,817 --> 01:29:38,586
- I don't care about the prelim.
- I'd advise that we pursue it.

1485
01:29:38,588 --> 01:29:41,254
You knew where I was.

1486
01:29:41,256 --> 01:29:42,690
When was that?

1487
01:29:42,692 --> 01:29:44,158
Before they picked me up.

1488
01:29:44,160 --> 01:29:46,327
I'm sure Derrell
shared that info

1489
01:29:46,329 --> 01:29:47,494
with a number of people.

1490
01:29:47,496 --> 01:29:49,196
No.

1491
01:29:49,198 --> 01:29:51,699
You're the only person
he told.

1492
01:29:51,701 --> 01:29:54,235
That's what he told the guy.

1493
01:29:54,237 --> 01:29:58,172
You called it in,
collected the reward money.

1494
01:29:58,174 --> 01:30:02,243
- You fucked me.
- I presented myself...

1495
01:30:02,245 --> 01:30:05,312
on your request
for an attorney.

1496
01:30:05,314 --> 01:30:08,615
You're talking,
but it don't mean nothing.

1497
01:30:08,617 --> 01:30:11,586
I ain't never
getting out of here.

1498
01:30:11,588 --> 01:30:14,221
They got me cold.

1499
01:30:14,223 --> 01:30:16,192
I'll tell you this.

1500
01:30:17,527 --> 01:30:19,760
I got you.

1501
01:30:19,762 --> 01:30:21,261
Anytime I want.

1502
01:30:21,263 --> 01:30:22,896
- Guard... Guard.
- Any place.

1503
01:30:22,898 --> 01:30:24,699
- Guard!
- Could've already done it.

1504
01:30:24,701 --> 01:30:27,135
- Guard.
- But I want you to be where I am.

1505
01:30:27,137 --> 01:30:28,636
- Guard!
- Thinking about it.

1506
01:30:28,638 --> 01:30:30,171
Guard.

1507
01:30:30,173 --> 01:30:31,538
Go on and tell somebody
what you did.

1508
01:30:31,540 --> 01:30:33,541
- I want out.
- Broke your own law.

1509
01:30:33,543 --> 01:30:35,510
- Privileged information.
- Guard!

1510
01:30:35,512 --> 01:30:37,310
Tell them
about the law you broke.

1511
01:30:37,312 --> 01:30:40,213
They'll throw you
in here with me.

1512
01:30:40,215 --> 01:30:43,684
But you're gonna run.
Try it.

1513
01:31:21,624 --> 01:31:23,356
- You know what I'm sayin'?
- Yeah.

1514
01:31:23,358 --> 01:31:25,525
- Mr. Burton, how are you?
- How you doin'?

1515
01:31:25,527 --> 01:31:27,430
Come this way.

1516
01:31:36,872 --> 01:31:38,838
Hello?

1517
01:31:41,510 --> 01:31:42,810
Hello?

1518
01:31:48,550 --> 01:31:50,351
<i>Front desk.</i>

1519
01:31:50,353 --> 01:31:52,552
Yes, I just received a call.

1520
01:31:52,554 --> 01:31:54,689
There was no one there.

1521
01:31:54,691 --> 01:31:56,891
<i>Well, they
asked for you, Mr. Israel.</i>

1522
01:31:56,893 --> 01:31:58,559
Did they give a name?

1523
01:31:58,561 --> 01:32:00,328
<i>I'm sorry. No, they didn't.</i>

1524
01:32:44,973 --> 01:32:46,806
Hello?

1525
01:37:26,856 --> 01:37:27,791
Hey!

1526
01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:32,028
Hey, you okay?

1527
01:37:34,763 --> 01:37:36,098
You all right, mister?

1528
01:37:40,635 --> 01:37:43,102
I was running.

1529
01:37:43,104 --> 01:37:45,672
You need any help?

1530
01:37:45,674 --> 01:37:47,106
It was a bad decision.

1531
01:37:47,108 --> 01:37:51,548
- It wasn't my first.
- Dude's crazy.

1532
01:37:53,683 --> 01:37:54,951
Come on.

1533
01:38:20,308 --> 01:38:21,742
Hello?

1534
01:38:21,744 --> 01:38:23,209
<i>Hey. It's Maya.</i>

1535
01:38:23,211 --> 01:38:26,212
- Hi, Maya.
- <i>What are you doing?</i>

1536
01:38:26,214 --> 01:38:27,614
Uh...

1537
01:38:27,616 --> 01:38:29,248
Nothing much.

1538
01:38:29,250 --> 01:38:31,284
<i>You'd tell me
if I was bugging you.</i>

1539
01:38:31,286 --> 01:38:32,819
No.

1540
01:38:32,821 --> 01:38:34,821
<i>Well, that's honest.</i>

1541
01:38:34,823 --> 01:38:37,391
<i>You know I only call you
when I'm down.</i>

1542
01:38:37,393 --> 01:38:39,293
<i>That's horrible, right?</i>

1543
01:38:39,295 --> 01:38:41,160
<i>One of my friends...</i>

1544
01:38:41,162 --> 01:38:43,963
<i>One of my best staffers
quit on me yesterday.</i>

1545
01:38:43,965 --> 01:38:46,833
<i>Told me that working here
was just for his résumé.</i>

1546
01:38:46,835 --> 01:38:49,235
Yeah...
The ability to have, uh...

1547
01:38:49,237 --> 01:38:52,773
conflicting ideas
in one's head takes effort.

1548
01:38:52,775 --> 01:38:54,775
<i>I like that.</i>

1549
01:38:54,777 --> 01:38:56,677
<i>How's your day going?</i>

1550
01:38:56,679 --> 01:38:58,244
Uh, you know...

1551
01:38:58,246 --> 01:39:00,146
life smiles, I smile back.

1552
01:39:00,148 --> 01:39:03,117
<i>You don't
sound like you're smiling.</i>

1553
01:39:03,119 --> 01:39:04,818
I'm a little...

1554
01:39:04,820 --> 01:39:06,119
Kind of anxious, actually.

1555
01:39:06,121 --> 01:39:07,988
<i>Well, just tell yourself</i>

1556
01:39:07,990 --> 01:39:09,757
<i>that most of the things
you worry about</i>

1557
01:39:09,759 --> 01:39:11,257
<i>will never, ever happen.</i>

1558
01:39:11,259 --> 01:39:12,860
I'll try that.

1559
01:39:12,862 --> 01:39:15,261
<i>Alcohol works even better.</i>

1560
01:39:15,263 --> 01:39:17,163
- <i>Roman?</i>
- Yeah.

1561
01:39:17,165 --> 01:39:19,667
<i>It's a really bad connection.
Where are you?</i>

1562
01:39:19,669 --> 01:39:21,368
In a desert.

1563
01:39:21,370 --> 01:39:24,872
<i>Yeah, it feels
like that sometimes.</i>

1564
01:39:24,874 --> 01:39:26,739
<i>Just gotta keep moving.</i>

1565
01:39:26,741 --> 01:39:28,307
Well which way?

1566
01:39:28,309 --> 01:39:31,444
<i>Head on.
Just straight through.</i>

1567
01:39:32,881 --> 01:39:35,114
- Hello?
- <i>Roman?</i>

1568
01:39:35,116 --> 01:39:38,017
- <i>Hey, can you hear...?</i>
- Hello?

1569
01:39:38,019 --> 01:39:39,688
Maya?

1570
01:40:33,075 --> 01:40:35,242
<i>Soulful action
affects the course of law.</i>

1571
01:40:35,244 --> 01:40:37,276
<i>It's called to account
the original complaint.</i>

1572
01:40:37,278 --> 01:40:40,047
<i>The agents have changed,
united by virtue.</i>

1573
01:40:40,049 --> 01:40:41,949
<i>Wrongs will be righted.</i>

1574
01:40:41,951 --> 01:40:43,950
<i>The loophole
of ambiguity in the system...</i>

1575
01:40:43,952 --> 01:40:46,019
<i>Legal challenge
based on improvement...</i>

1583
01:41:04,240 --> 01:41:06,273
Hey, Roman.

1584
01:41:06,275 --> 01:41:07,908
What are you doing?

1585
01:41:41,376 --> 01:41:45,011

1596
01:42:13,308 --> 01:42:15,141
Hey.

1597
01:42:15,143 --> 01:42:17,310
I just heard something
disturbing about you

1598
01:42:17,312 --> 01:42:18,979
from a solid source.

1599
01:42:18,981 --> 01:42:22,048
About the Ellerbee case.
Carter Johnson?

1600
01:42:22,050 --> 01:42:24,851
You collected the reward?

1601
01:42:24,853 --> 01:42:26,319
Is that true?

1602
01:42:26,321 --> 01:42:28,055
<i>...in the
city of Los Angeles.</i>

1603
01:42:28,057 --> 01:42:30,591
- <i>During that time...</i>
- Roman.

1604
01:42:37,031 --> 01:42:38,532
<i>...for the above-mentioned
request</i>

1605
01:42:38,534 --> 01:42:43,205
<i>for immediate
and summary judgment.</i>

1606
01:42:48,143 --> 01:42:50,077
I thought we
were working tonight.

1607
01:42:50,079 --> 01:42:52,412
Uh, I plan to leave.

1608
01:42:52,414 --> 01:42:54,213
Monday, then? Tomorrow?

1609
01:42:54,215 --> 01:42:57,450
I believe I'll be unavailable
for the foreseeable future.

1610
01:42:57,452 --> 01:42:59,019
You know the facts.

1611
01:42:59,021 --> 01:43:01,020
- Just jump in.
- You mean, on my own?

1612
01:43:01,022 --> 01:43:02,355
You got it.

1613
01:43:14,969 --> 01:43:16,970
Did you check his office?

1614
01:43:16,972 --> 01:43:19,373
<i>That's what
I'm saying, he left already.</i>

1615
01:43:19,375 --> 01:43:21,108
- When?
- <i>A few minutes ago.</i>

1616
01:43:21,110 --> 01:43:22,575
Goddamn it,
he's not answering his cell.

1617
01:43:22,577 --> 01:43:25,848
Just keep trying him
and let me know, all right?

1618
01:43:31,353 --> 01:43:33,289
Roman. Roman!

1619
01:44:03,052 --> 01:44:05,487
- Okay.
- Yeah, I'm back.

1620
01:44:07,322 --> 01:44:11,391
- What is that?
- That's for you.

1621
01:44:11,393 --> 01:44:13,726
- It's a bulldog.
- Amongst other things.

1622
01:44:13,728 --> 01:44:17,631
- It's so real.
- It actually is alive.

1623
01:44:17,633 --> 01:44:19,432
Why are you giving it to me?

1624
01:44:19,434 --> 01:44:21,905
To take care of.

1625
01:44:23,037 --> 01:44:25,172
You're a trip.

1626
01:44:25,174 --> 01:44:28,542
Well, you're worth
having this thing.

1627
01:44:28,544 --> 01:44:31,712
Here. Put it up here.

1628
01:44:31,714 --> 01:44:33,446
- Is it yours?
- For a while.

1629
01:44:33,448 --> 01:44:35,515
Well, then you
should keep it, Roman.

1630
01:44:35,517 --> 01:44:37,083
Well, I don't have room.

1631
01:44:37,085 --> 01:44:39,285
- In your apartment.
- I gave it up.

1632
01:44:39,287 --> 01:44:40,520
Why?

1633
01:44:40,522 --> 01:44:42,021
I'm going away.

1634
01:44:42,023 --> 01:44:43,190
Where?

1635
01:44:43,192 --> 01:44:44,591
Wherever they send me.

1636
01:44:44,593 --> 01:44:47,994
See, something has occurred.
Something...

1637
01:44:47,996 --> 01:44:49,462
I've just taken a career

1638
01:44:49,464 --> 01:44:51,230
which was certainly
sincere and...

1639
01:44:51,232 --> 01:44:53,199
And well-intentioned
and launched it right into

1640
01:44:53,201 --> 01:44:55,034
the realm of the truly
transformational.

1641
01:44:55,036 --> 01:44:58,070
I promise you that the attorney
that triumphs in this instance

1642
01:44:58,072 --> 01:45:01,274
won't be the one with the most
formal education or legal skill.

1643
01:45:01,276 --> 01:45:03,275
Roman, what are you
talking about?

1644
01:45:03,277 --> 01:45:05,444
Well, it's quite
interesting, actually.

1645
01:45:05,446 --> 01:45:07,547
- There you are.
- Hey, George.

1646
01:45:07,549 --> 01:45:09,749
This is Maya.
Maya, this is George.

1647
01:45:09,751 --> 01:45:11,351
- Hey.
- Hello.

1648
01:45:11,353 --> 01:45:14,087
Maya doesn't

1649
01:45:14,089 --> 01:45:18,057
overlook the vital things...

1650
01:45:18,059 --> 01:45:19,495
like other people.

1651
01:45:20,763 --> 01:45:23,696
And speaking for myself,
I'm thankful for that.

1652
01:45:23,698 --> 01:45:27,234
Roman tells me that he
really enjoys working for you.

1653
01:45:27,236 --> 01:45:30,236
Yeah. George is a protector
of rights. That's truth

1654
01:45:30,238 --> 01:45:32,405
- in advertising.
- I...

1655
01:45:32,407 --> 01:45:35,441
I need to... I need to have
a word with you. Can we...?

1656
01:45:35,443 --> 01:45:38,078
- I was leaving anyway.
- You just got here.

1657
01:45:38,080 --> 01:45:39,645
Sorry, Maya, it's, uh...

1658
01:45:39,647 --> 01:45:41,815
It's important.

1659
01:45:41,817 --> 01:45:44,387
This is funny.
Just to think...

1660
01:45:45,620 --> 01:45:47,119
Three Mondays ago,

1661
01:45:47,121 --> 01:45:48,587
I didn't know
either one of you.

1662
01:45:48,589 --> 01:45:50,791
- Roman, I'm concerned about you.
- It's okay.

1663
01:45:50,793 --> 01:45:52,525
George and I just need to...

1664
01:45:52,527 --> 01:45:56,098
- talk business matters.
- Yeah.

1665
01:45:58,166 --> 01:46:00,633
I believe...

1666
01:46:00,635 --> 01:46:03,636
the two of you are gonna...

1667
01:46:03,638 --> 01:46:05,540
get along very well.

1668
01:46:08,110 --> 01:46:10,146
Roman...

1669
01:46:15,817 --> 01:46:17,551
Roman.

1670
01:46:17,553 --> 01:46:19,752
Roman, wait.

1671
01:46:28,763 --> 01:46:30,663
Roman...

1672
01:46:30,665 --> 01:46:32,766
what the hell is going on?

1673
01:46:32,768 --> 01:46:34,700
From my point of view?

1674
01:46:34,702 --> 01:46:36,302
I get a call from Fritz.

1675
01:46:36,304 --> 01:46:37,837
Says he has
reliable information

1676
01:46:37,839 --> 01:46:40,407
that you turned in Carter
Johnson, collected the reward.

1677
01:46:40,409 --> 01:46:42,309
Here's what the prosecutor
won't tell you.

1678
01:46:42,311 --> 01:46:43,510
Jesus Christ, it's true.

1679
01:46:43,512 --> 01:46:45,145
I've been given a gift,
George.

1680
01:46:45,147 --> 01:46:46,645
No, you acted
utterly improperly.

1681
01:46:46,647 --> 01:46:48,114
I mean, you broke the law.

1682
01:46:48,116 --> 01:46:49,483
It so wasn't a gift, Roman.

1683
01:46:49,485 --> 01:46:51,118
I'm not talking
about the money.

1684
01:46:51,120 --> 01:46:52,284
I don't care
about the money,

1685
01:46:52,286 --> 01:46:53,587
fruit of the poisonous tree.

1686
01:46:53,589 --> 01:46:54,587
If you wanna understand

1687
01:46:54,589 --> 01:46:55,622
what's happening,

1688
01:46:55,624 --> 01:46:57,190
you're gonna have get past

1689
01:46:57,192 --> 01:46:58,658
all the smoke
of legal disputation.

1690
01:46:58,660 --> 01:47:00,127
Legal disputation?

1691
01:47:00,129 --> 01:47:01,627
Roman, these are
dangerous people.

1692
01:47:01,629 --> 01:47:03,730
You don't just
walk away from this.

1693
01:47:03,732 --> 01:47:05,565
Not walking away.

1694
01:47:05,567 --> 01:47:09,138
I'm turning myself in.
The station's on Sixth.

1695
01:47:13,442 --> 01:47:15,078
Roman.

1696
01:47:18,813 --> 01:47:21,284
I'll... I'll walk with you.

1697
01:47:25,586 --> 01:47:28,788
You know,
all those years of practicing...

1698
01:47:28,790 --> 01:47:31,757
scouring law books...

1699
01:47:31,759 --> 01:47:33,560
achieving technical triumphs

1700
01:47:33,562 --> 01:47:35,861
through loopholes
and ambiguities...

1701
01:47:35,863 --> 01:47:38,398
none of which
were adequate to save me

1702
01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:40,367
from the reality
of my present situation.

1703
01:47:40,369 --> 01:47:42,235
Then today, in the
middle of nowhere...

1704
01:47:42,237 --> 01:47:45,372
lost, had a revelation.

1705
01:47:45,374 --> 01:47:49,809
An insight so sweeping,
so clear.

1706
01:47:49,811 --> 01:47:51,477
It's me, George.

1707
01:47:51,479 --> 01:47:53,245
See, I didn't see it before

1708
01:47:53,247 --> 01:47:54,847
because I never
experienced the other side.

1709
01:47:54,849 --> 01:47:57,316
I'm the defendant...

1710
01:47:57,318 --> 01:47:59,252
and the plaintiff
simultaneously.

1711
01:47:59,254 --> 01:48:00,587
I file against myself,

1712
01:48:00,589 --> 01:48:02,855
I represent myself,
I convict myself,

1713
01:48:02,857 --> 01:48:05,859
hereby expanding the full
scope of the legal desert

1714
01:48:05,861 --> 01:48:08,627
because the judgment's built in.
The only thing left

1715
01:48:08,629 --> 01:48:12,332
is forgiveness,
and I grant that to myself.

1716
01:48:12,334 --> 01:48:14,301
An act doesn't make
the person guilty

1717
01:48:14,303 --> 01:48:17,305
unless the mind
is guilty as well.

1718
01:48:18,941 --> 01:48:22,708
Of course... Of course
I expect there'll be challenges,

1719
01:48:22,710 --> 01:48:25,244
as there's no precedent

1720
01:48:25,246 --> 01:48:27,948
or derivative
interpretations,

1721
01:48:27,950 --> 01:48:30,686
but the argument is sound.

1722
01:48:32,387 --> 01:48:34,253
The premise true.
I have no doubt

1723
01:48:34,255 --> 01:48:36,288
it'll be upheld by any and all
courts of law.

1724
01:48:36,290 --> 01:48:38,291
You're insane.

1725
01:48:38,293 --> 01:48:40,526
Never been more clear.

1726
01:48:40,528 --> 01:48:42,828
- That's what we'll argue.
- Now, watch what you say.

1727
01:48:42,830 --> 01:48:44,431
You don't represent me,

1728
01:48:44,433 --> 01:48:46,298
so the rules of confidentiality
don't apply.

1729
01:48:46,300 --> 01:48:48,435
My entire defense
will be based

1730
01:48:48,437 --> 01:48:51,506
on the unequivocal
recitation of the truth.

1731
01:48:55,509 --> 01:48:58,246
I know you get it, George.

1732
01:49:00,348 --> 01:49:01,847
You have such
a tremendous future.

1733
01:49:01,849 --> 01:49:03,483
It's so bright, I...

1734
01:49:03,485 --> 01:49:05,485
I swear, it's....

1735
01:49:05,487 --> 01:49:08,457
It's blinding.

1736
01:49:11,793 --> 01:49:13,693
Jesus.

1737
01:50:40,682 --> 01:50:42,318
Hello?

1738
01:50:48,656 --> 01:50:52,825
Of course I remember you,
that's why I gave you my card.

1739
01:51:58,927 --> 01:52:01,860
I... I like the idea
of starting the conversation

1740
01:52:01,862 --> 01:52:05,698
with how protest
is still relevant or not,

1741
01:52:05,700 --> 01:52:09,636
because, you know,
we approach these things

1742
01:52:09,638 --> 01:52:12,004
with a certain tradition,

1743
01:52:12,006 --> 01:52:16,543
a certain, you know, uh,
repetition of behavior,

1744
01:52:16,545 --> 01:52:19,145
and sometimes after
thinking through it,

1745
01:52:19,147 --> 01:52:20,750
we have to find
new approaches.

1746
01:52:30,724 --> 01:52:32,926
<i>To whom it may concern,</i>

1747
01:52:32,928 --> 01:52:35,595
<i>I'm returning
the reward money.</i>

1748
01:52:35,597 --> 01:52:37,096
<i>Taking it was wrong,</i>

1749
01:52:37,098 --> 01:52:39,833
<i>and I'm compelled
to remedy my mistake.</i>

1750
01:52:39,835 --> 01:52:46,038
<i>I did spend $5,547.27,
which I will repay.</i>

1751
01:52:46,040 --> 01:52:49,876
<i>I bought three suits,
size 50 regular.</i>

1752
01:52:49,878 --> 01:52:53,546
<i>And I did buy two pairs
of Italian loafers, size 11.</i>

1753
01:52:53,548 --> 01:52:56,114
<i>One black, one brown.</i>

1754
01:52:58,487 --> 01:53:00,986
<i>We were all formed
of frailty</i>

1755
01:53:00,988 --> 01:53:02,689
<i>and error.</i>

1756
01:53:02,691 --> 01:53:05,658
<i>Let us pardon,
reciprocally,</i>

1757
01:53:05,660 --> 01:53:08,160
<i>each other's folly.</i>

1758
01:53:08,162 --> 01:53:10,930
<i>That is the first law</i>

1759
01:53:10,932 --> 01:53:12,835
<i>of nature.</i>

1760
01:53:59,246 --> 01:54:02,517
I'm filing a federal brief
in District Nine.

1761
01:54:55,038 --> 01:55:00,038
