Morning, Officer.

Saw you working
on your tire.

Thought maybe
I could help.

Oh.

A really good
criminal lawyer.

Not a real estate attorney like
your mother and I worked for,

51
00:03:04,014 --> 00:03:08,802
not a paper pusher,
a criminal attorney.

It's an oil.

Mm-hmm...No, no, no.

You can't get high from it.

Doesn't affect
the brain that way.

It's typically used
for pain or nausea.

59
00:03:24,992 --> 00:03:26,123
It's legal in New York, right?

60
00:03:26,167 --> 00:03:27,342
With a prescription.

61
00:03:27,386 --> 00:03:29,039
Mm. So this friend
of yours's daughter,

62
00:03:29,083 --> 00:03:31,041
she lives in Virginia?

[exhales]
Which is why she was arrested.

64
00:03:34,044 --> 00:03:37,570
You have to be
a resident of New York

65
00:03:37,613 --> 00:03:39,789
to get a prescription
to purchase it here.

66
00:03:39,833 --> 00:03:41,878
Right. So how much did she have?

67
00:03:41,922 --> 00:03:44,272
Eh... Couple hundred vials.

00:03:44,316 --> 00:03:45,665
Hmm.

It sounds like a lot.

00:03:50,322 --> 00:03:52,411
Well, it sounds like a lot
because it is a lot.

73
00:03:52,454 --> 00:03:54,326
What, was she selling them
out of the trunk of her car

74
00:03:54,369 --> 00:03:55,501
at the local flea market?

[chuckles]

76
00:03:57,024 --> 00:03:58,852
Problem is, your friend's
daughter knew it was illegal,

77
00:03:58,895 --> 00:04:01,681
and she did it anyway,
not for one or two vials.

78
00:04:01,724 --> 00:04:04,161
Well, the way her
mom explains it,

79
00:04:04,205 --> 00:04:08,427
she only buys it twice a year,
so she gets a really big supply.

80
00:04:08,470 --> 00:04:09,950
And you know...
[groans]

81
00:04:09,993 --> 00:04:11,473
The thing is, if she
lived in New York,

82
00:04:11,517 --> 00:04:13,997
we wouldn't even be
having this conversation.

83
00:04:14,041 --> 00:04:16,348
She would get it
monthly, legally.

84
00:04:16,391 --> 00:04:18,306
You know better than I do,
it's completely irrelevant.

85
00:04:18,350 --> 00:04:21,309
If she wants to buy this stuff,
if she needs to buy this stuff,

86
00:04:21,353 --> 00:04:22,876
she should move
to a place where it's legal

87
00:04:22,919 --> 00:04:24,965
so she's not
knowingly breaking the law.

88
00:04:25,008 --> 00:04:26,401
Oh, come on,
it's a Class C felony,

89
00:04:26,445 --> 00:04:28,621
so it's only a year,
minimum sentence.

90
00:04:28,664 --> 00:04:30,840
We've pled out
harsher charges than that.

91

I don't really ask
for a lot of favors.

94
00:04:35,671 --> 00:04:37,064

00:04:39,414 --> 00:04:40,676
and is being released
in the morning.

97
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,287
I'm gonna run down
there tomorrow,

98
00:04:42,330 --> 00:04:45,028
meet her at the D.A.'s office,
where hopefully,

99
00:04:45,072 --> 00:04:46,726
I can negotiate a deal.

100
00:04:48,684 --> 00:04:50,991
I think it would make a big
difference if you were there.

101
00:04:53,385 --> 00:04:54,603
Uh, wait here, please.

102
00:04:57,563 --> 00:05:01,480
Thank you both, for jumping into
the fray on such short notice.

103
00:05:01,523 --> 00:05:04,526
Your mom, my mom.

104
00:05:04,570 --> 00:05:05,919

This is Dr. Jason Bull,
by the way.

in this fight,

but, uh, it's a pleasure
to meet you.

108

Oh.

113
00:05:19,367 --> 00:05:20,716
So, Doctor, just curious,

114
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:25,199
what is it, exactly,
you use all this CBD oil for?

115
00:05:25,242 --> 00:05:26,766
Uh, pain management.

116
00:05:26,809 --> 00:05:28,594
Headaches, mostly.

117

Sorry to keep you waiting.

00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:32,641

Dr. Jason Bull, trial scientist.

125
00:05:55,055 --> 00:05:56,578
I'm sorry.

126
00:05:56,622 --> 00:05:58,493
I-I think there might
be some mistake here.

127
00:05:58,537 --> 00:06:00,408
I was under the impression
that we were meeting

128
00:06:00,452 --> 00:06:03,933
District Attorney
"Morris Frank"?

129
00:06:03,977 --> 00:06:05,239
From the city
of Woodbury?

130
00:06:05,282 --> 00:06:08,198
There was a slight
miscommunication.

131
00:06:08,242 --> 00:06:12,464
D.A. Frank was kind enough
to lend us his office.

132
00:06:12,507 --> 00:06:14,553
This is now a federal matter.

133
00:06:14,596 --> 00:06:16,598
Federal matter?W-Wait, wait.

134
00:06:16,642 --> 00:06:18,644
We're talking about
a couple hundred vials

135
00:06:18,687 --> 00:06:21,864
of non-psychoactive CBD oil

136
00:06:21,908 --> 00:06:24,432
for her personal
use; I mean,

137
00:06:24,476 --> 00:06:26,869
doesn't the federal government
have better things to do?

138
00:06:26,913 --> 00:06:29,698
Actually, we don't.

139
00:06:29,742 --> 00:06:32,135
And it's 1,800 vials.

140
00:06:32,179 --> 00:06:36,444
1,800 vials
that we believe

141
00:06:36,488 --> 00:06:38,838
were intended for sale
to no less than 27 other people

142
00:06:38,881 --> 00:06:40,448
in the state
of Virginia.

143
00:06:40,492 --> 00:06:43,451
And this would not be the first
time that Dr. Allen smuggled

144
00:06:43,495 --> 00:06:45,627
controlled substances
across state lines.

145
00:06:45,671 --> 00:06:47,455
T-They're for my patients.

146
00:06:47,499 --> 00:06:50,197
I sell them to my patients
for exactly what it costs me.

147
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,373
You have the right
to remain silent.Dr. Allen, you are being charged

148
00:06:52,417 --> 00:06:54,462
with 27 counts of possession

149
00:06:54,506 --> 00:06:56,595
of a controlled substance
with intent to distribute

150
00:06:56,638 --> 00:06:58,292
in violation
of federal law.

151
00:06:58,335 --> 00:06:59,946
In addition,
you are being charged

152
00:06:59,989 --> 00:07:02,557
with violating interstate
commerce rules,

153
00:07:02,601 --> 00:07:04,341
which strictly forbid
the transportation

154
00:07:04,385 --> 00:07:06,343
across state lines
of controlled substances

155
00:07:06,387 --> 00:07:08,041
by persons without
license to do so.

156
00:07:08,084 --> 00:07:10,783
Mr. Colón, please,
you have to call my mom.

157
00:07:10,826 --> 00:07:12,785
Don't say another word,
Dr. Allen, and don't worry,

158
00:07:12,828 --> 00:07:14,700
I'll make that call.

It's the bottom line.

162
00:07:29,845 --> 00:07:32,979
So what we need to do
is get a jury that understands

she chose to do.

00:07:35,329 --> 00:07:37,374
She had no choice.

165
00:07:37,418 --> 00:07:38,593
But she did. You know that.

166
00:07:38,637 --> 00:07:39,812
She had a choice.

167
00:07:39,855 --> 00:07:41,204
Did she?

168
00:07:41,248 --> 00:07:43,598
I don't think so.

169
00:07:43,642 --> 00:07:45,252
We are going to argue
that Laura had

170
00:07:45,295 --> 00:07:48,124
a professional responsibility

171
00:07:48,168 --> 00:07:50,126
to give her patients
the best care possible.

172
00:07:50,170 --> 00:07:52,346
Even if it meant
breaking the law.

173
00:07:52,389 --> 00:07:55,784
So what kind of jurors
are we looking for?

174
00:07:55,828 --> 00:07:59,962
What we're looking for are
jurors who are professionals.

175
00:08:00,006 --> 00:08:01,834
Professionals who feel
a sense of duty

176
00:08:01,877 --> 00:08:05,098
to do their absolute best.

177
00:08:05,141 --> 00:08:09,537
Teachers, firefighters,
emergency room doctors.

178
00:08:09,581 --> 00:08:12,758
People who relate to Laura because, in their line of work,

179
00:08:12,801 --> 00:08:15,935
they, too, go above and beyond.

180
00:08:15,978 --> 00:08:17,153
BENNY:
Do we have

181
00:08:17,197 --> 00:08:19,373
any teachers with us today?

182
00:08:19,416 --> 00:08:21,027
All right, and, uh,

183
00:08:21,070 --> 00:08:22,594
what grade do you teach?

184
00:08:22,637 --> 00:08:24,117
I teach ninth grade biology;
I also coach

185
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,553
the girls' basketball team.

186
00:08:25,597 --> 00:08:27,816
She's been at her current school
for almost 20 years.

187
00:08:27,860 --> 00:08:29,035
It's quite a stint.

188
00:08:29,078 --> 00:08:30,515
BENNY:
Let's say

189
00:08:30,558 --> 00:08:32,125
you were offered the same job

190
00:08:32,168 --> 00:08:34,475
at a different school,
but double the pay.

191
00:08:34,519 --> 00:08:35,563
Would you take it?

192
00:08:35,607 --> 00:08:36,651
Would I take it?

193
00:08:36,695 --> 00:08:37,826
I don't think so.

194
00:08:37,870 --> 00:08:39,524
I mean, I would never
leave my girls.

195
00:08:39,567 --> 00:08:41,917
You can't buy what coaching
my team gives me.

196
00:08:44,441 --> 00:08:48,924
This juror is acceptable
to the defense, Your Honor.

197
00:08:48,968 --> 00:08:54,016
What we want are jurors
who posses deontological ethics.

198
00:08:54,060 --> 00:08:55,583
One more time,
for those of us

199
00:08:55,627 --> 00:08:58,151
who don't read
the dictionary for fun.

200
00:08:58,194 --> 00:09:00,545
People who are committed
to doing their absolute best

201
00:09:00,588 --> 00:09:03,025
for the people
who depend on them,

202
00:09:03,069 --> 00:09:05,898
no matter what the consequences.

203
00:09:05,941 --> 00:09:08,117
And what do you do for a living?

204
00:09:08,161 --> 00:09:09,249
I-I'm a county clerk.

205
00:09:09,292 --> 00:09:10,729
Oh, okay.

206
00:09:10,772 --> 00:09:12,165
Uh, do you like your job?

207
00:09:12,208 --> 00:09:13,601
I love my job.

208
00:09:13,645 --> 00:09:15,603
BENNY: And, uh,
how are your hours?LYNN: You mean,

209
00:09:15,647 --> 00:09:17,083
when am I supposed to
be there by,

210
00:09:17,126 --> 00:09:18,171
or when do I actually show up?

211
00:09:18,214 --> 00:09:19,259
Oh, okay.

212
00:09:19,302 --> 00:09:20,782
[laughs]

213
00:09:20,826 --> 00:09:22,828
Let's start with when
you're supposed to be there.

214
00:09:22,871 --> 00:09:24,133
9:00.

215
00:09:24,177 --> 00:09:25,482
And when do you
usually show up?

216
00:09:25,526 --> 00:09:26,875
Between 7:30 and 8:00.

217
00:09:26,919 --> 00:09:28,921
Now, what's that about?

218
00:09:28,964 --> 00:09:31,097
Uh, is the commute easier
if you get an early start?

219
00:09:31,140 --> 00:09:34,143
Uh, no, it's just about making
sure everything's really ready,

220
00:09:34,187 --> 00:09:37,538
so when people come in at 9:00,
I'm prepared to help them,

221
00:09:37,582 --> 00:09:40,976
and they don't have to wait
any longer than necessary.

222
00:09:44,632 --> 00:09:47,156
This juror is acceptable
to the defense, Your Honor.

223
00:09:51,857 --> 00:09:53,075
BENNY [quietly]:
All right.

224
00:09:54,686 --> 00:09:57,340
Do you believe
in the rule of law?

225
00:09:57,384 --> 00:09:58,559
Sure do.

226
00:09:58,603 --> 00:10:00,256
And as a
county clerk,

227
00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:03,216
isn't part of your job
issuing permits?

228
00:10:03,259 --> 00:10:04,086
Among other things.

229
00:10:04,130 --> 00:10:05,305
So if somebody
comes in,

230
00:10:05,348 --> 00:10:06,915
uh, they want a permit,

231
00:10:06,959 --> 00:10:09,788
they want to build a 12-foot
wall in front of their house,

232
00:10:09,831 --> 00:10:13,661
but the code says walls
can only be eight feet.

233
00:10:13,705 --> 00:10:14,967
What do you do?

234
00:10:15,010 --> 00:10:17,143
I'd have to deny the permit.

235
00:10:17,186 --> 00:10:18,100
Because...?

236
00:10:18,144 --> 00:10:19,493
That's the law.

237
00:10:19,536 --> 00:10:22,235
No matter what time
you get into work.

238
00:10:22,278 --> 00:10:24,193
No matter what time
I come into work.

239
00:10:25,368 --> 00:10:28,067
This juror is also acceptable

240
00:10:28,110 --> 00:10:29,677
to the prosecution,

241
00:10:29,721 --> 00:10:31,374
Your Honor.[gavel bangs]

242
00:10:31,418 --> 00:10:33,246
GARRISON:
We have our jury.

243
00:10:35,248 --> 00:10:37,250
Doctor?

244
00:10:40,035 --> 00:10:43,169
So, what's your thesis here?

245
00:10:43,212 --> 00:10:44,692
That people who
love their jobs

246
00:10:44,736 --> 00:10:49,436
will look the other way
when a citizen breaks the law?

247
00:10:49,479 --> 00:10:52,918
Well, as long as you're asking,
what's yourthesis here?

248
00:10:52,961 --> 00:10:57,009
Yes, she broke the law in
Virginia, but not in New York.

249
00:10:57,052 --> 00:10:58,488
And to what end?

250
00:10:58,532 --> 00:11:00,795
So that people in pain
could experience some relief?

251
00:11:00,839 --> 00:11:03,145
Thank goodness you're here
to make sure that evildoers

252
00:11:03,189 --> 00:11:05,321
like Dr. Allen
don't get away with anything.

253
00:11:06,758 --> 00:11:08,368
Excuse me.

254
00:11:09,369 --> 00:11:10,675
What was that all about?

255
00:11:10,718 --> 00:11:12,328
Just wishing each other luck.

256
00:11:12,372 --> 00:11:13,721
NICK:
Mom!

257
00:11:13,765 --> 00:11:16,332
Nick. Uh...

258
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,554
Mom. What are you doing here?

259
00:11:20,597 --> 00:11:22,643
Uh, sorry.
Dr. Bull,

260
00:11:22,687 --> 00:11:24,819
uh, this is my mom.

261
00:11:24,863 --> 00:11:26,908
And this is my son, Nicholas.

262
00:11:26,952 --> 00:11:28,649
So, is it Nicholas,

263
00:11:28,693 --> 00:11:31,347
Nicky, Nick, or... Dude?

264
00:11:31,391 --> 00:11:33,132
Nick.
[coughing]

265
00:11:34,611 --> 00:11:36,831
But I kind of like Dude.

266
00:11:36,875 --> 00:11:38,746
Ah. Then Dude it shall be.

267
00:11:38,790 --> 00:11:40,661
And you can call me Dr. Bull.

268
00:11:41,967 --> 00:11:43,838
I think we had a-a good day.

269
00:11:43,882 --> 00:11:45,231
Great day.

270
00:11:45,274 --> 00:11:47,276
More great
days to come.

271
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,714
Okay. Then we
should get out of here...

272
00:11:49,757 --> 00:11:51,716
Yeah....while the getting's good.

273
00:11:54,849 --> 00:11:57,243
How sick do you
think he is?

274
00:11:57,286 --> 00:11:58,418
Well...

275
00:11:58,461 --> 00:12:00,855
they were praying
for him at church.

276
00:12:00,899 --> 00:12:02,248
Excuse me?

277
00:12:02,291 --> 00:12:03,553
Yeah.

278
00:12:03,597 --> 00:12:05,730
Priest said a prayer
for him during Mass.

279
00:12:05,773 --> 00:12:07,819
I mean, it...
flew right past me,

280
00:12:07,862 --> 00:12:10,169
but.. he said it
was leukemia.

281
00:12:10,212 --> 00:12:11,997
[sighs]
Of course.

282
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,174
That's how she found out
about the CBD oil:

283
00:12:15,217 --> 00:12:17,089
her son's cancer.

284
00:12:17,132 --> 00:12:19,918
Yeah, but why wouldn't she
be honest about that?

285
00:12:19,961 --> 00:12:22,007
Well, I'm guessing she
didn't want us to know

286
00:12:22,050 --> 00:12:24,966
she's using CBD oil
on a minor.

287
00:12:30,580 --> 00:12:33,061
As a Doctor of Pharmacology

288
00:12:33,105 --> 00:12:35,585
at the largest teaching
hospital on the East Coast,

289
00:12:35,629 --> 00:12:37,022
what is your opinion

290
00:12:37,065 --> 00:12:41,156
on CBD oil
as a treatment option?

291
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,246
At this time, the federal
government classifies it

292
00:12:44,290 --> 00:12:46,074
as a Schedule I drug,

293
00:12:46,118 --> 00:12:49,077
which means it has
no medical benefit whatsoever.

294
00:12:49,121 --> 00:12:50,775
I think that
says it all.

295
00:12:50,818 --> 00:12:52,254
BANNER:
So I am curious.

296
00:12:52,298 --> 00:12:54,256
Based on your
medical expertise,

297
00:12:54,300 --> 00:12:57,782
would you recommend
CBD oil as a treatment

298
00:12:57,825 --> 00:12:59,261
for MS?

299
00:12:59,305 --> 00:13:01,046
No.What about Parkinson's disease?

300
00:13:01,089 --> 00:13:02,699
YATES:
No.

301
00:13:02,743 --> 00:13:04,440
BANNER:
And would you recommend it

302
00:13:04,484 --> 00:13:06,878
as a treatment for...

303
00:13:06,921 --> 00:13:09,968
an adult suffering
from leukemia?

304
00:13:10,011 --> 00:13:11,273
YATES:
No, I would not.

305
00:13:11,317 --> 00:13:14,755
BANNER: And based
on your medical expertise,

306
00:13:14,799 --> 00:13:17,149
how would you
characterize the choice

307
00:13:17,192 --> 00:13:20,848
to treat a child's leukemia

308
00:13:20,892 --> 00:13:22,589
with CBD oil?

309
00:13:22,632 --> 00:13:26,332
I would characterize it
as reckless...

310
00:13:26,375 --> 00:13:29,509
unsound, unsafe, dangerous...

311
00:13:29,552 --> 00:13:31,641
and, while I'm not a lawyer,

312
00:13:31,685 --> 00:13:34,383
I would venture to say
almost certainly criminal.

313
00:13:34,427 --> 00:13:35,820
Objection, Your Honor.

314
00:13:35,863 --> 00:13:38,344
The man is guessing.
And he's not a lawyer.

315
00:13:38,387 --> 00:13:40,607
His opinion
as to the criminality

316
00:13:40,650 --> 00:13:44,002
of this hypothetical example
is just that, an opinion.

317
00:13:44,045 --> 00:13:47,309
Objection sustained. Jury will
disregard Dr. Yates's opinion

318
00:13:47,353 --> 00:13:49,964
with regard to criminality.

319
00:13:50,008 --> 00:13:51,879
But they won't, will they?

00:13:51,923 --> 00:13:53,315
Not a chance.

326
00:14:03,282 --> 00:14:04,892
MARISSA:
Uh, you know the Red Sea?

327
00:14:04,936 --> 00:14:06,894
You know that reindeer
Rudolph's nose?

328
00:14:06,938 --> 00:14:09,070
You know when they roll out
the red carpet?

329
00:14:10,115 --> 00:14:11,768
I'm not following you.

330
00:14:11,812 --> 00:14:13,292
Yeah, it's red.
You're a little slow today.

331
00:14:13,335 --> 00:14:16,251
[sighs]

332
00:14:16,295 --> 00:14:18,253
So, what are you
doing after court?

333
00:14:18,297 --> 00:14:20,255
We need to have an
honest conversation.

334
00:14:20,299 --> 00:14:22,649
BULL: You can see where
the other side's going.

335
00:14:22,692 --> 00:14:24,607
They're getting ready
to use your son against you

336
00:14:24,651 --> 00:14:25,826
like a baseball bat.

337
00:14:25,870 --> 00:14:27,828
The fact that
he has leukemia.

338
00:14:27,872 --> 00:14:29,569
The fact that you're
treating him with CBD oil.

339
00:14:29,612 --> 00:14:31,136
That's what's going on,
isn't it?

340
00:14:31,179 --> 00:14:33,921
You're saying that
as if it's a bad thing.Well, that is,

341
00:14:33,965 --> 00:14:36,141
according
to their expert today...Please.

342
00:14:36,184 --> 00:14:38,491
That supposed expert was wrong.

343
00:14:38,534 --> 00:14:40,580
The oil has been
a huge help with every...

344
00:14:40,623 --> 00:14:42,103
It doesn't matter whether
he's wrong about that.

345
00:14:42,147 --> 00:14:43,496
What he's right about,

346
00:14:43,539 --> 00:14:46,064
or at least will be
as far as the jury's concerned,

347
00:14:46,107 --> 00:14:50,068
is that when you're giving
this oil to your adult patients,

348
00:14:50,111 --> 00:14:51,547
they are capable
of making a decision

349
00:14:51,591 --> 00:14:53,462
about whether or not
they want to take it.

350
00:14:53,506 --> 00:14:55,073
But when you're
giving it to a child...

351
00:14:55,116 --> 00:14:56,901
Mychild.

352
00:14:58,990 --> 00:15:01,514
My child.

353
00:15:01,557 --> 00:15:04,256
I'm not a monster.

354
00:15:04,299 --> 00:15:06,475
I know.

355
00:15:06,519 --> 00:15:09,522
And that is why
you're here... today.

356
00:15:11,524 --> 00:15:14,005
We're here to arm you.

357
00:15:14,048 --> 00:15:17,051
The defense calls
Dr. Laura Allen.

358
00:15:20,272 --> 00:15:23,884
My son was diagnosed
with leukemia two years ago.

359
00:15:23,928 --> 00:15:27,279
He immediately started
chemotherapy.

360
00:15:27,322 --> 00:15:29,194
At first the side effects
were tolerable.

361
00:15:29,237 --> 00:15:33,459
A little nausea, some vomiting
once or twice a week.

362
00:15:35,069 --> 00:15:37,463
Then it was every day.

363
00:15:37,506 --> 00:15:41,162
And then it was every day,
three, four times a day.

364
00:15:42,250 --> 00:15:45,210
He lost 20 pounds
that first month.

365
00:15:45,253 --> 00:15:48,126
We tried everything
to alleviate his misery,

366
00:15:48,169 --> 00:15:50,171
but nothing worked.

367
00:15:50,215 --> 00:15:52,217
He was so weak.

368
00:15:53,435 --> 00:15:55,176
If he could...

369
00:15:55,220 --> 00:15:58,179
if he could get out of bed
and make it to the bathroom,

370
00:15:58,223 --> 00:16:00,051
it was a good day.

371
00:16:00,094 --> 00:16:02,270
And there were not
a lot of good days.

372
00:16:04,272 --> 00:16:07,972
Then I walked into his room
one night to check on him,

373
00:16:08,015 --> 00:16:09,234
and he was sitting
on his bed,

374
00:16:09,277 --> 00:16:12,280
holding a plastic bag
over his head.

375
00:16:13,499 --> 00:16:15,849
I don't know where
he got the idea--

376
00:16:15,892 --> 00:16:19,461
he still won't tell me-- but I
knew what he was trying to do.

377
00:16:19,505 --> 00:16:23,770
I stopped the chemo
the next day.

378
00:16:23,813 --> 00:16:25,206
[sniffles]

379
00:16:26,251 --> 00:16:28,340
But... I'm a doctor,

380
00:16:28,383 --> 00:16:31,169
and I knew stopping the
chemo wasn't the answer.

381
00:16:31,212 --> 00:16:35,216
We were gonna have to resume the
treatment again at some point.

382
00:16:35,260 --> 00:16:38,176
I honestly didn't know
what to do.

383
00:16:38,219 --> 00:16:40,700
Then I read
about CBD oil.

384
00:16:40,743 --> 00:16:42,484
So I drove to New York,

385
00:16:42,528 --> 00:16:44,399
wrote myself
a bogus prescription,

386
00:16:44,443 --> 00:16:46,314
and I bought one vial.

387
00:16:46,358 --> 00:16:49,056
I gave Nicholas
one dropper-ful,

388
00:16:49,100 --> 00:16:52,103
and within two hours,
he stopped throwing up.

389
00:16:52,146 --> 00:16:54,453
Over the course of
the next two weeks,

390
00:16:54,496 --> 00:16:58,326
he put on five pounds,
and he was up and out of bed.

391
00:16:58,370 --> 00:17:01,329
He even had some friends
over to play.

392
00:17:01,373 --> 00:17:03,592
My baby was living
his life again

393
00:17:03,636 --> 00:17:06,334
instead of just
waiting to die.

394
00:17:08,815 --> 00:17:11,731
So why not...
move to New York

395
00:17:11,774 --> 00:17:14,212
or another state
where it's legal?

396
00:17:14,255 --> 00:17:16,257
I thought about that.

397
00:17:17,737 --> 00:17:21,523
But after seeing how much
CBD oil helped my son,

398
00:17:21,567 --> 00:17:25,832
it occurred to me it might
also help some of my patients.

399
00:17:25,875 --> 00:17:29,401
And how do you abandon
people at that point?

400
00:17:29,444 --> 00:17:32,752
You show them something
that works, and then...

401
00:17:32,795 --> 00:17:34,710
you just leave?

402
00:17:34,754 --> 00:17:37,235
You just...

403
00:17:37,278 --> 00:17:39,715
you just take it
away from them?

404
00:17:43,502 --> 00:17:44,329
CHUNK:
I know we brought her here

405
00:17:44,372 --> 00:17:46,461
to prepare her to testify...

406
00:17:46,505 --> 00:17:50,726
but I don't know how you
improve on what she just did.

407
00:18:00,432 --> 00:18:04,131
I know you were hoping to avoid
telling this part of the story.

408
00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:06,786
And I know...

409
00:18:06,829 --> 00:18:09,223
it feels private and personal,

410
00:18:09,267 --> 00:18:13,053
and it half belongs to your son,
but I need you...

411
00:18:13,097 --> 00:18:16,230
to make your peace with it...

412
00:18:16,274 --> 00:18:21,061
because when it comes time
to defend you...

413
00:18:21,105 --> 00:18:24,543
it may be
the only option we have.

414
00:18:31,767 --> 00:18:34,944
Think Nick'll still be up
when you get home?

415
00:18:34,988 --> 00:18:37,512
I hope so.

416
00:18:39,035 --> 00:18:40,559
Thanks for the ride.

417
00:18:40,602 --> 00:18:42,561
You're on my way.

418
00:18:42,604 --> 00:18:44,606
No, I'm not.

419
00:18:44,650 --> 00:18:46,565
Benny told me
where you live.

420
00:18:46,608 --> 00:18:48,567
You live downtown.

421
00:18:48,610 --> 00:18:50,569
They have bars
where you live?

422
00:18:50,612 --> 00:18:53,572
Of course.Then you're on my way.

423
00:18:55,922 --> 00:18:58,490
Does somebody
have a problem?

424
00:18:58,533 --> 00:19:00,535
With what?

425
00:19:00,579 --> 00:19:02,015
Drinking?

426
00:19:02,058 --> 00:19:03,930
Nah, I drink fine.

427
00:19:06,454 --> 00:19:08,326
I'll make you a deal.

428
00:19:08,369 --> 00:19:11,329
Come in the house with me,
say hi to my mom--

429
00:19:11,372 --> 00:19:13,548
and Nick, if he's up--

430
00:19:13,592 --> 00:19:16,116
and I'll make both
of us a drink.

431
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,119
Though I'm not sure what
kind of liquor my mom has.

432
00:19:19,163 --> 00:19:20,947
Why would you do that?

433
00:19:20,990 --> 00:19:22,949
'Cause I want to
keep an eye on you.

434
00:19:22,992 --> 00:19:26,996
I need you in court tomorrow,
preferably not hungover.

435
00:19:31,349 --> 00:19:33,394
Hi, Mom!Nick!

436
00:19:33,438 --> 00:19:34,830
Mom, it's the middle
of winter.

437
00:19:34,874 --> 00:19:36,528
I don't know
what to tell you.

438
00:19:36,571 --> 00:19:39,183
First he's cold, then he's hot,
then he's cold, then he's hot.

439
00:19:39,226 --> 00:19:41,010
LAURA:
Get over here.

440
00:19:41,054 --> 00:19:42,447
Come here.

441
00:19:42,490 --> 00:19:44,405
Mom, you're
embarrassing me.

442
00:19:44,449 --> 00:19:46,451
Yeah, well, you were the one
sitting around in your underwear

443
00:19:46,494 --> 00:19:48,801
like some kind of a nudist,
and I'm embarrassing you?

444
00:19:48,844 --> 00:19:50,368
Maybe I should come back
another time.

445
00:19:50,411 --> 00:19:51,717
No.No.

446
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,414
[knocking]

447
00:19:56,809 --> 00:19:58,376
[knocking]

448
00:20:02,989 --> 00:20:04,643
Can I help you?

449
00:20:04,686 --> 00:20:06,253
Dr. Laura Allen?

450
00:20:06,297 --> 00:20:08,255
I'm with New York City
Children's Services,

451
00:20:08,299 --> 00:20:10,562
and we have an order
to remove Nicholas Allen

452
00:20:10,605 --> 00:20:11,824
from this residence.

453
00:20:11,867 --> 00:20:14,566
Remove Nicholas?
What are you talking about?

454
00:20:14,609 --> 00:20:16,350
BULL:
They're taking him

455
00:20:16,394 --> 00:20:18,396
over to Sacred Heart Hospital
for observation.

456
00:20:18,439 --> 00:20:20,876
Put him under a 24-hour hold.

457
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,183
Mom? What's going on?

458
00:20:23,227 --> 00:20:24,706
Stay where you are.

459
00:20:24,750 --> 00:20:26,708
No one's taking
my son anywhere.So, who called you?

460
00:20:26,752 --> 00:20:28,536
Obviously, someone
filed a complaint.

461
00:20:28,580 --> 00:20:30,277
I'm sorry.
I'm forbidden by law to tell you

462
00:20:30,321 --> 00:20:31,757
who initiated this action.It wouldn't happen

463
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,802
to be the assistant United
States attorney, would it?

464
00:20:35,108 --> 00:20:36,283
Fine. No names.

465
00:20:36,327 --> 00:20:38,067
I'm part of Dr. Allen's
legal team.

466
00:20:38,111 --> 00:20:39,591
Can you tell me

467
00:20:39,634 --> 00:20:42,463
what this
anonymous source alleges?All I know

468
00:20:42,507 --> 00:20:44,160
is that a minor
named Nicholas Allen

469
00:20:44,204 --> 00:20:45,814
is supposedly being denied
proper medical care

470
00:20:45,858 --> 00:20:47,512
and that his life
is in imminent danger

471
00:20:47,555 --> 00:20:49,383
and illegal drugs are involved.

472
00:20:49,427 --> 00:20:52,473
This is a nightmare.I'm sorry, but I need
you to surrender him

473
00:20:52,517 --> 00:20:54,301
to this officer, ma'am.

474
00:20:54,345 --> 00:20:55,607
No.

475
00:20:55,650 --> 00:20:56,564
Laura,

476
00:20:56,608 --> 00:20:57,870
we don't have a choice.

477
00:20:57,913 --> 00:20:59,872
You better knock me down.
You better mace me.

478
00:20:59,915 --> 00:21:02,527
You better take me to prison,
because that's the only way

479
00:21:02,570 --> 00:21:04,485
you're getting to my little boy.NICK: No! Mom!

480
00:21:04,529 --> 00:21:05,878
Don't let them take me!

481
00:21:05,921 --> 00:21:07,662
It's okay.Okay, I'm calling for backup.

482
00:21:07,706 --> 00:21:09,795
Don't do that.
Wait a second.

483
00:21:09,838 --> 00:21:12,450
Listen.

484
00:21:12,493 --> 00:21:14,452
We will take him in my car.

485
00:21:14,495 --> 00:21:15,888
We're taking him.

486
00:21:15,931 --> 00:21:17,498
You can follow us
or we'll follow you.

487
00:21:17,542 --> 00:21:19,108
But we're taking him.

488
00:21:19,152 --> 00:21:21,937
His mother and I are
taking him to the hospital.

489
00:21:21,981 --> 00:21:23,504
Right, Dr. Allen?

490
00:21:23,548 --> 00:21:25,332
That's what you want, right?

491
00:21:25,376 --> 00:21:26,812
You want him to go
to the hospital?

492
00:21:26,855 --> 00:21:30,032
Nowhere on this paper does
it say we can't take him there

493
00:21:30,076 --> 00:21:32,296
and you can't stay
with him there.

494
00:21:36,648 --> 00:21:39,041
Mom, pack Nicky a bag.

495
00:21:45,091 --> 00:21:47,963
[sighs]

496
00:21:48,007 --> 00:21:51,489
Dr. Allen,
it's almost 11:00 at night

497
00:21:51,532 --> 00:21:53,360
and we both need
to be in court tomorrow.

498
00:21:53,404 --> 00:21:56,102
[sighs]

499
00:21:56,145 --> 00:21:58,887
I know you want
to be near your son.

500
00:21:58,931 --> 00:22:03,065
But... they're never
gonna let that happen,

501
00:22:03,109 --> 00:22:06,721
not for at least
another 22 hours.

502
00:22:08,810 --> 00:22:10,856
What do you say we
get out of here?

503
00:22:10,899 --> 00:22:13,728
You can go.
I'm just gonna sit here.

504
00:22:20,909 --> 00:22:23,695
You want me
to get someone from my office

505
00:22:23,738 --> 00:22:26,088
to come and sit with you?

506
00:22:26,132 --> 00:22:27,699
I don't want you sitting alone.

507
00:22:27,742 --> 00:22:30,876
I asked the doctor
what if he sees something,

508
00:22:30,919 --> 00:22:33,052
something he doesn't agree with,

509
00:22:33,095 --> 00:22:34,619
something that, in his mind,

510
00:22:34,662 --> 00:22:37,273
indicates that Nick's not
getting the care that he needs?

511
00:22:37,317 --> 00:22:39,450
What happens then?

512
00:22:39,493 --> 00:22:41,365
And?

513
00:22:43,367 --> 00:22:46,761
And he said they'd probably
put him in foster care.

514
00:22:46,805 --> 00:22:49,155
You know I wouldn't
let that happen,

515
00:22:49,198 --> 00:22:50,983
at least not without a fight.

516
00:22:55,422 --> 00:22:58,730
I'm on trial for trying to make
my dying son feel better.

517
00:22:58,773 --> 00:23:01,341
How screwed up is that?

518
00:23:01,385 --> 00:23:02,647
So do I believe
that if they want

519
00:23:02,690 --> 00:23:04,649
to take my son
away from me, they will?

520
00:23:04,692 --> 00:23:06,868
You're damn right I do.

521
00:23:11,395 --> 00:23:13,875
Ugh.

522
00:23:13,919 --> 00:23:17,401
I'm sorry. I'm sorry
for being difficult.

523
00:23:17,444 --> 00:23:18,793
I'm sorry for being dramatic.

524
00:23:18,837 --> 00:23:20,491
You can go.

525
00:23:20,534 --> 00:23:22,014
I'll be fine.

526
00:23:22,057 --> 00:23:23,450
I'll see you in the morning.

527
00:23:23,494 --> 00:23:25,409
I'm happy to call someone.

528
00:23:25,452 --> 00:23:29,456
No. I want to be alone...

529
00:23:29,500 --> 00:23:31,850
with him...

530
00:23:31,893 --> 00:23:35,854
or at least near him.

531
00:23:35,897 --> 00:23:38,291
15, 20 more minutes,
I'll be leaving, too.

532
00:23:38,334 --> 00:23:39,597
Honestly.

533
00:23:41,642 --> 00:23:44,645
Will you call me or text me
when you get home?

534
00:23:44,689 --> 00:23:46,778
No.

535
00:23:46,821 --> 00:23:49,781
I'm a grown-up.

536
00:23:49,824 --> 00:23:51,478
I'll see you in the morning.

537
00:24:10,584 --> 00:24:11,846
[man coughs]

538
00:24:15,676 --> 00:24:16,895
Your Honor.

539
00:24:16,938 --> 00:24:20,028
We have been sitting here
and waiting

540
00:24:20,072 --> 00:24:22,814
for almost an hour
and 15 minutes.

541
00:24:22,857 --> 00:24:24,685
Do we know if the defendant
is planning

542
00:24:24,729 --> 00:24:27,035
on deigning us
with her presence or not?

543
00:24:27,079 --> 00:24:29,124
Gentlemen, what do we know?

544
00:24:29,168 --> 00:24:33,825
Uh, Your Honor,
she is on her way.

545
00:24:33,868 --> 00:24:36,131
[whispering]: Please tell me
she's on her way.

546
00:24:36,175 --> 00:24:38,177
[phone vibrates]

547
00:24:46,011 --> 00:24:47,752
Where the hell are you?

548
00:24:47,795 --> 00:24:49,493
LAURA:
Nicholas is gone.

549
00:24:49,536 --> 00:24:50,711
What?

550
00:24:50,755 --> 00:24:52,191
He ran away.

551
00:24:52,234 --> 00:24:54,106
I came to the hospital
to try to see him

552
00:24:54,149 --> 00:24:56,325
before court this morning and
when I got here, he was gone.

553
00:24:56,369 --> 00:24:57,892
No one even knew he was missing.

554
00:24:57,936 --> 00:25:00,765
I'm in my car.
I'm-I'm looking for him.

555
00:25:00,808 --> 00:25:01,896
Laura, I need you
to listen to me.

556
00:25:01,940 --> 00:25:03,985
I'll get my team
to find Nicholas, okay?

557
00:25:04,029 --> 00:25:06,858
What I need you to do right now
is come to court and testify.

558
00:25:06,901 --> 00:25:09,338
Laura?

559
00:25:09,382 --> 00:25:10,992
Laura.

560
00:25:13,995 --> 00:25:16,215
GARRISON:
Counselor, it's time to move on.

561
00:25:16,258 --> 00:25:18,260
Your Honor, I just
got off the phone

562
00:25:18,304 --> 00:25:20,349
with Dr. Allen. Turns
out her son is missing

563
00:25:20,393 --> 00:25:21,742
from the hospital.

564
00:25:21,786 --> 00:25:23,265
She's out looking for him.
If we could just take...

565
00:25:23,309 --> 00:25:25,267
GARRISON:
No, we can't "just."

566
00:25:25,311 --> 00:25:28,488
You and your client have
exhausted this court's patience.

567
00:25:28,532 --> 00:25:30,577
I'm issuing a warrant
for Dr. Allen's arrest.

568
00:25:30,621 --> 00:25:32,405
Call a witness,
any witness

569
00:25:32,448 --> 00:25:34,146
and stretch out their testimony
as long as you can.

570
00:25:34,189 --> 00:25:36,322
I'll be back.

571
00:25:36,365 --> 00:25:38,367
[phone vibrates]

572
00:25:41,153 --> 00:25:44,330
Yeah?

573
00:25:44,373 --> 00:25:46,854
I'll be there
in 15 minutes.

574
00:25:46,898 --> 00:25:49,944
I heard them talking about chemo
last night and it scared me.

575
00:25:49,988 --> 00:25:52,120
So I waited till the sun
came up, put on my clothes

576
00:25:52,164 --> 00:25:53,600
and just walked out.

577
00:25:53,644 --> 00:25:56,734
I thought I could make it
to the courthouse to find Mom,

578
00:25:56,777 --> 00:25:58,170
but I got so tired.

579
00:25:58,213 --> 00:26:00,564
I picked him up
at a park nearby.

580
00:26:00,607 --> 00:26:02,609
This nice lady let
me use her phone.

581
00:26:02,653 --> 00:26:04,785
[knocking]Sorry to interrupt.

582
00:26:04,829 --> 00:26:06,874
We haven't met.
You the dad?

583
00:26:06,918 --> 00:26:09,485
Um, Dr. Jason Bull.
I'm part of the legal team.

584
00:26:09,529 --> 00:26:12,750
Forgive me.
Dr. Kulkarni.

585
00:26:12,793 --> 00:26:15,143
Want the good news
or you want the good news?

586
00:26:16,492 --> 00:26:18,451
After a full evaluation,
I'm in complete support

587
00:26:18,494 --> 00:26:21,280
of your treatment regimen,
including the CBD oil.

588
00:26:21,323 --> 00:26:22,934
That's great.

589
00:26:22,977 --> 00:26:25,023
Yeah. Honestly, I...

590
00:26:25,066 --> 00:26:28,200
I couldn't have advised a better
treatment plan than yours.

591
00:26:28,243 --> 00:26:30,550
I do want Nicholas to stay
with us one more night, though.

592
00:26:30,594 --> 00:26:32,291
That little trip
to the park

593
00:26:32,334 --> 00:26:33,640
dehydrated you
just a little bit.

594
00:26:33,684 --> 00:26:35,207
Want to give him
some fluids.

595
00:26:35,250 --> 00:26:36,991
Uh, what about
Child Services?

596
00:26:37,035 --> 00:26:39,472
Ah, I'll have my report
in the next hour.

597
00:26:39,515 --> 00:26:41,866
My guess is that
Nicholas will be able

598
00:26:41,909 --> 00:26:43,041
to go home
with you tomorrow.

599
00:26:43,084 --> 00:26:45,783
[chuckles]

600
00:26:45,826 --> 00:26:46,958
Thank you, Doctor.Mm-hmm.

601
00:26:47,001 --> 00:26:49,177
Thank you, Doctor.

602
00:26:49,221 --> 00:26:51,615
Anybody have any questions,
I'll be around.

603
00:26:53,704 --> 00:26:56,054
Forgive me, Doctor.

604
00:26:56,097 --> 00:27:00,798
Uh, if I needed you
to testify about the efficacy

605
00:27:00,841 --> 00:27:02,582
of Dr. Allen's treatment,
would you be willing?

606
00:27:02,626 --> 00:27:04,802
Of course.
Schedule permitting.

607
00:27:04,845 --> 00:27:07,152
Thank you.
Mm-hmm.

608
00:27:09,154 --> 00:27:12,200
We have to handle
one other thing.

609
00:27:12,244 --> 00:27:13,898
What's that?

610
00:27:13,941 --> 00:27:16,204
There is a warrant out
for your arrest.

611
00:27:16,248 --> 00:27:18,729
She felt she had no choice
but to go and find

612
00:27:18,772 --> 00:27:20,252
her son since the people
who were supposed

613
00:27:20,295 --> 00:27:22,950
to be responsible for him
clearly weren't up to the task.

614
00:27:22,994 --> 00:27:24,256
How can you fault a parent

615
00:27:24,299 --> 00:27:26,040
convinced that her
son was in danger

616
00:27:26,084 --> 00:27:28,652
for doing what any parent
would do in this situation?

617
00:27:28,695 --> 00:27:32,481
Dr. Bull, your client
is charged with a serious crime

618
00:27:32,525 --> 00:27:35,833
that could see her spend
20 years in a federal prison.

619
00:27:35,876 --> 00:27:37,748
She was out on bail

620
00:27:37,791 --> 00:27:39,837
and due in court
this morning.

621
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,143
Neither she nor
you made any effort

622
00:27:42,187 --> 00:27:43,318
to communicate
with this court

623
00:27:43,362 --> 00:27:45,756
in any way to seek
its permission

624
00:27:45,799 --> 00:27:48,193
to search for her son.

625
00:27:48,236 --> 00:27:51,065
I'm revoking your bail.

626
00:27:51,109 --> 00:27:52,458
And remanding you

627
00:27:52,501 --> 00:27:54,895
to the jail here in
the federal courthouse

628
00:27:54,939 --> 00:27:56,375
until the completion

629
00:27:56,418 --> 00:27:57,942
of your hearing.
BULL:
But Your Honor...

630
00:27:57,985 --> 00:27:59,204
Your Honor, my son's
in the hospital.

631
00:27:59,247 --> 00:28:00,727
He's waiting for me.

632
00:28:00,771 --> 00:28:02,294
Well, someone will just
have to explain to him

633
00:28:02,337 --> 00:28:04,557
what happens when people
flaunt the law.

634
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,081
See you in court
tomorrow morning.

635
00:28:22,575 --> 00:28:24,925
8:00 a.m., everybody's
here just as you asked.

636
00:28:24,969 --> 00:28:27,406
Car downstairs to take
Benny and me to court?

637
00:28:27,449 --> 00:28:28,755
Last I checked.

638
00:28:28,799 --> 00:28:31,105
Let's do this.

639
00:28:31,149 --> 00:28:32,933
Marissa,

640
00:28:32,977 --> 00:28:35,283
where are we
with the mirror jurors?

641
00:28:35,327 --> 00:28:39,897
Uh, three green and nine red.

642
00:28:39,940 --> 00:28:41,768
Okay. Chunk.

643
00:28:41,812 --> 00:28:45,076
I need you to prep
Dr. Kulkarni. Okay?

644
00:28:45,119 --> 00:28:48,340
Now, he's due to go on the stand
later this afternoon

645
00:28:48,383 --> 00:28:50,908
and he is a busy guy and he
is gonna resist this notion,

646
00:28:50,951 --> 00:28:53,475
but go to the hospital
if you have to.

647
00:28:53,519 --> 00:28:55,956
Do it in the hall between
surgeries. I don't care.

648
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,394
It's a tall order,
but I'm a tall man.

649
00:28:59,438 --> 00:29:00,918
Yes, you are.

650
00:29:00,961 --> 00:29:02,354
Danny.

651
00:29:02,397 --> 00:29:03,921
Let's try and
round up as many

652
00:29:03,964 --> 00:29:05,923
of Laura's 27
patients as we can.

653
00:29:05,966 --> 00:29:07,838
Get them into Manhattan
and I want you to march them

654
00:29:07,881 --> 00:29:10,057
into that courtroom and
force that judge, that jury

655
00:29:10,101 --> 00:29:11,929
and even that tight-ass
federal prosecutor

656
00:29:11,972 --> 00:29:15,019
to see whose quality of life
it is they are monkeying with.

657
00:29:15,062 --> 00:29:17,630
I'll do the best I can.

658
00:29:17,673 --> 00:29:20,198
Cable.

659
00:29:20,241 --> 00:29:21,895
I need you

660
00:29:21,939 --> 00:29:24,419
to really drill down
on that jury,

661
00:29:24,463 --> 00:29:26,291
just check for any sweet spots
we might've missed

662
00:29:26,334 --> 00:29:28,684
because everybody gets sick.

663
00:29:28,728 --> 00:29:31,992
Everybody has a doctor
and there has got to be a way

664
00:29:32,036 --> 00:29:34,212
to reach these people
we're not tapping into.

665
00:29:34,255 --> 00:29:35,561
I'm on it.

666
00:29:35,604 --> 00:29:37,041
BENNY:
Dr. Kulkarni,

667
00:29:37,084 --> 00:29:41,959
how long have you been
a board-certified oncologist?

668
00:29:42,002 --> 00:29:43,787
17 years.

669
00:29:43,830 --> 00:29:45,136
BENNY:
And at the behest

670
00:29:45,179 --> 00:29:47,007
of the City of New York's
Child Services Bureau,

671
00:29:47,051 --> 00:29:50,445
you have thoroughly examined
Dr. Allen's son, Nicholas.

672
00:29:50,489 --> 00:29:51,969
I have.

673
00:29:52,012 --> 00:29:53,144
And how would you characterize

674
00:29:53,187 --> 00:29:54,449
the level of care
he's been receiving?

675
00:29:54,493 --> 00:29:56,190
Outstanding.

676
00:29:56,234 --> 00:29:58,062
BENNY: Even though
that care has included

677
00:29:58,105 --> 00:29:59,846
the administration of CBD oil?

678
00:29:59,890 --> 00:30:01,239
DR. KULKARNI:
Yes, absolutely.

679
00:30:01,282 --> 00:30:03,937
BENNY:
Isn't it true that doctors,

680
00:30:03,981 --> 00:30:06,810
real dedicated doctors,
are often torn

681
00:30:06,853 --> 00:30:11,510
between doing what's required
and doing what they know

682
00:30:11,553 --> 00:30:13,033
to be the best thing
for their patients?

683
00:30:13,077 --> 00:30:17,124
Like, uh, the insurance will say
a doctor can only do "X"

684
00:30:17,168 --> 00:30:20,867
when he or she knows that they
really need to do "Y," too.

685
00:30:20,911 --> 00:30:22,564
Objection.

686
00:30:22,608 --> 00:30:26,351
The defense is asking
the witness to speculate.Sustained.

687
00:30:26,394 --> 00:30:28,744
Okay. Let-let me ask this
differently, Your Honor.

688
00:30:28,788 --> 00:30:30,877
I-I'd like to try
and be of some help here.

689
00:30:30,921 --> 00:30:34,272
May-may I tell you about
something that happened to me?

690
00:30:34,315 --> 00:30:36,491
Your Honor?

691
00:30:36,535 --> 00:30:37,971
Nice move.

692
00:30:38,015 --> 00:30:40,060
Chunk, you really
prepped this guy.

693
00:30:40,104 --> 00:30:42,715
Oh, you ain't seen nothing yet.

694
00:30:44,021 --> 00:30:46,153
DR. KULKARNI:
When I was 20 years old,

695
00:30:46,197 --> 00:30:49,678
my mother fell sick
with esophageal cancer.

696
00:30:49,722 --> 00:30:53,987
It's a particularly painful
cancer of the throat.

697
00:30:54,031 --> 00:30:56,947
For several months, she was
in and out of the hospital.

698
00:30:56,990 --> 00:31:00,254
And finally, they sent her home

699
00:31:00,298 --> 00:31:02,953
because there just wasn't
anything for them to do for her.

700
00:31:02,996 --> 00:31:05,259
This was before med school.

701
00:31:05,303 --> 00:31:07,740
I was going to local colleges,
living at home.

702
00:31:07,783 --> 00:31:13,180
And at night, I'd sit in my room
and I'd hear my mother

703
00:31:13,224 --> 00:31:16,923
either labor for breath

704
00:31:16,967 --> 00:31:19,056
or moan in pain.

705
00:31:19,099 --> 00:31:22,886
I mentioned this to a friend
of mine at school

706
00:31:22,929 --> 00:31:25,149
and as it turned out,
her dad was a doctor.

707
00:31:25,192 --> 00:31:30,067
So, came, saw my mother,
spent some time with her

708
00:31:30,110 --> 00:31:34,854
and he told me he was gonna
give her something for the pain.

709
00:31:34,898 --> 00:31:37,683
That something turned out
to be morphine.

710
00:31:37,726 --> 00:31:39,293
It's a tricky drug.

711
00:31:39,337 --> 00:31:40,555
Given in the right amount,

712
00:31:40,599 --> 00:31:44,472
it can do amazing things,
but, um...

713
00:31:44,516 --> 00:31:48,346
give too much
and the patient dies.

714
00:31:48,389 --> 00:31:50,957
In my mother's case, it did just
what it was supposed to do.

715
00:31:51,001 --> 00:31:53,220
The moaning stopped.

716
00:31:53,264 --> 00:31:56,441
The labored breath became
less and less pronounced.

717
00:31:56,484 --> 00:31:58,747
She slept a lot,

718
00:31:58,791 --> 00:32:01,098
uh, but always with a smile
on her face.

719
00:32:01,141 --> 00:32:03,100
For the first time in two years,

720
00:32:03,143 --> 00:32:07,539
she was experiencing something
like peace.

721
00:32:07,582 --> 00:32:12,239
Two days later,
I walked into her room

722
00:32:12,283 --> 00:32:15,547
to tell her I was going
to school.

723
00:32:15,590 --> 00:32:17,505
She wasn't breathing.

724
00:32:17,549 --> 00:32:21,509
She had died during the night.

725
00:32:21,553 --> 00:32:26,036
Her pain gone.

726
00:32:26,079 --> 00:32:28,995
The smile still there.

727
00:32:29,039 --> 00:32:32,303
Now... was the doctor

728
00:32:32,346 --> 00:32:34,218
at fault?

729
00:32:34,261 --> 00:32:36,524
Did he give her
too much morphine?

730
00:32:36,568 --> 00:32:38,135
We'll never know.

731
00:32:38,178 --> 00:32:40,789
But I think he gave her
what she needed:

732
00:32:40,833 --> 00:32:42,704
mercy.

733
00:32:42,748 --> 00:32:44,750
No one talks about it,

734
00:32:44,793 --> 00:32:46,752
but doctors face
these choices

735
00:32:46,795 --> 00:32:48,145
every day.

736
00:32:48,188 --> 00:32:51,191
But if they truly care
about their patients...

737
00:32:51,235 --> 00:32:52,192
Objection.

738
00:32:52,236 --> 00:32:53,628
Overruled.

739
00:32:53,672 --> 00:32:55,630
MARISSA:
We have seven,

740
00:32:55,674 --> 00:32:56,718
she has five.

741
00:32:56,762 --> 00:32:58,024
BENNY:
Dr. Kulkarni,

742
00:32:58,068 --> 00:33:01,201
you actually prescribe
the same CBD oil

743
00:33:01,245 --> 00:33:04,378
to some of your patients
as Dr. Allen does, don't you?

744
00:33:04,422 --> 00:33:06,467
I do.
So let me ask
you something.

745
00:33:06,511 --> 00:33:08,904
Hypothetically speaking,
how far would you go

746
00:33:08,948 --> 00:33:11,646
if you lived in a state
where your ill patients

747
00:33:11,690 --> 00:33:13,997
couldn't get the CBD oil
they needed

748
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:15,999
to relieve their suffering?

749
00:33:16,042 --> 00:33:18,392
That youneeded to relieve
your child's suffering?

750
00:33:18,436 --> 00:33:20,612
I would hope that
I would have the courage

751
00:33:20,655 --> 00:33:22,222
to go to hell and back.

752
00:33:22,266 --> 00:33:24,094
Just as Dr. Allen did.

753
00:33:27,227 --> 00:33:28,794
MARISSA:
For those of you keeping score,

754
00:33:28,837 --> 00:33:31,927
we are staring
at eight green and four red.

755
00:33:31,971 --> 00:33:34,495
And how far away
are our surprise guests?

756
00:33:34,539 --> 00:33:36,932
They should be coming through
the door any second now.

757
00:33:36,976 --> 00:33:38,412
[door opens]

758
00:33:41,285 --> 00:33:42,547
[gallery murmuring]

759
00:33:42,590 --> 00:33:46,116
I, uh, apologize for
the disruption, Your Honor.

760
00:33:46,159 --> 00:33:48,118
But these are 13

761
00:33:48,161 --> 00:33:51,425
of the 27 patients
that Dr. Allen

762
00:33:51,469 --> 00:33:54,341
has been treating
with the CBD oil.

763
00:33:54,385 --> 00:33:56,430
They...

764
00:33:56,474 --> 00:33:58,432
came into the city today,

765
00:33:58,476 --> 00:34:01,435
at a moment's notice, in
hopes that we could put them

766
00:34:01,479 --> 00:34:03,655
on the witness list,

767
00:34:03,698 --> 00:34:05,352
and allow them
to tell the jury

768
00:34:05,396 --> 00:34:08,312
how Dr. Allen
has done

769
00:34:08,355 --> 00:34:12,229
nothing but make their
treatments more bearable

770
00:34:12,272 --> 00:34:14,622
and their lives
more livable.

771
00:34:14,666 --> 00:34:17,234
Objection!
Your Honor, this is the first

772
00:34:17,277 --> 00:34:20,280
that the prosecution has heard
about these witnesses.

773
00:34:20,324 --> 00:34:22,456
I would like to
request a recess

774
00:34:22,500 --> 00:34:23,892
for the day...

775
00:34:23,936 --> 00:34:26,460
so that I could
possibly vet the list.

776
00:34:26,504 --> 00:34:28,419
Someone's getting nervous.BENNY: Your Honor,

777
00:34:28,462 --> 00:34:30,551
I can't guarantee
I can get all these people back

778
00:34:30,595 --> 00:34:31,900
if we recess today.

779
00:34:31,944 --> 00:34:33,380
I love a good fight.

780
00:34:33,424 --> 00:34:36,340
If counsel for both sides
will approach the bench.

781

BULL [quietly]:
This is good.

782
00:34:39,343 --> 00:34:41,823
This is good for us.

00:34:41,867 --> 00:34:45,784
Yeah.[speaking softly]

784
00:34:45,827 --> 00:34:49,266
The witness

I'll catch up with
both of you later.

788
00:34:56,186 --> 00:34:58,144
There's something
I have to do.

789

[sighs]

790

Of all the gin joints

00:35:05,891 --> 00:35:07,762
within three blocks
of the courthouse--

792
00:35:07,806 --> 00:35:09,460
I walk into yours.

793
00:35:09,503 --> 00:35:11,157
Oh.

794
00:35:11,201 --> 00:35:13,420
Hey. I like the color
of her drink.

795
00:35:13,464 --> 00:35:15,466
I'll have one of those.

796
00:35:16,423 --> 00:35:19,296
I think you and I have
something to talk about.

797
00:35:19,339 --> 00:35:21,472
Oh, really?

798
00:35:21,515 --> 00:35:23,474
You into women's volleyball?

[chuckles]

800
00:35:25,563 --> 00:35:28,305
The jury's swinging my way;
you know it,

801
00:35:28,348 --> 00:35:29,697
and I know it.

802
00:35:29,741 --> 00:35:32,047
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

803
00:35:32,091 --> 00:35:34,049
Humor me for a second.

804
00:35:34,093 --> 00:35:37,401
'Cause if I'm right-- and this
is what I do for a living--

805
00:35:37,444 --> 00:35:39,446
the game is
pretty much over.

806
00:35:39,490 --> 00:35:42,275
I mean, maybe you
squeak by with a mistrial,

807
00:35:42,319 --> 00:35:44,451
but is that really
a risk you want to take?

808
00:35:46,105 --> 00:35:48,107
What?I'm-I'm just trying

809
00:35:48,151 --> 00:35:49,891
to figure out
how you got that...

810
00:35:49,935 --> 00:35:52,372
gigantic head of yours
through that teeny-tiny door.

811
00:35:52,416 --> 00:35:53,852
[chuckles]:
Oh...

812
00:35:53,895 --> 00:35:56,507
Wow. She smiles,

813
00:35:56,550 --> 00:35:58,813
she jokes.

814
00:35:58,857 --> 00:36:01,033
She's full of surprises.Hmm.

815
00:36:01,076 --> 00:36:03,296
So, how about this?

816
00:36:03,340 --> 00:36:05,429
You reduce the charges
to straight possession,

817
00:36:05,472 --> 00:36:07,909
my client will plead
guilty to a misdemeanor

818
00:36:07,953 --> 00:36:10,608
and do... four
years probation.

819
00:36:10,651 --> 00:36:13,393
She still has a fighting chance
of keeping her medical license,

820
00:36:13,437 --> 00:36:15,395
and you get the
conviction you want,

821
00:36:15,439 --> 00:36:17,571
and everybody wins.

822
00:36:17,615 --> 00:36:20,052
No.

823
00:36:20,095 --> 00:36:21,575
No?

824
00:36:21,619 --> 00:36:22,750
No.

825
00:36:23,969 --> 00:36:26,450
Even though
you're not gonna win?

826
00:36:26,493 --> 00:36:29,104
Even though
I maynot win.

827
00:36:34,588 --> 00:36:36,242
So, what's your end game here?

828
00:36:36,286 --> 00:36:38,157
You get a kick
out of tearing families apart?

829
00:36:38,201 --> 00:36:40,028
I know it was you
who called Child Services.

830
00:36:40,072 --> 00:36:42,422
I never tried to hide that.

831
00:36:42,466 --> 00:36:44,642
You ever had a child?

832
00:36:46,861 --> 00:36:48,515
[laughs]

833
00:36:48,559 --> 00:36:50,648
Are we... are we going there?

834
00:36:51,649 --> 00:36:53,955
I've-I've never had
a child, so...

835
00:36:53,999 --> 00:36:55,957
I would never be able
to understand

836
00:36:56,001 --> 00:36:58,133
what your client
is going through?

837
00:36:58,177 --> 00:37:01,180
[chuckles]:
Oh... that is simpleminded.

838
00:37:01,224 --> 00:37:02,747
Even for you.

839
00:37:02,790 --> 00:37:05,663
And what-what about you?
How many children

840
00:37:05,706 --> 00:37:07,360
do you have, Dr. Bull?

841
00:37:07,404 --> 00:37:09,797
Only a man
with a name like "Bull"

842
00:37:09,841 --> 00:37:13,584
could equate fertility
with empathy.

843
00:37:18,676 --> 00:37:21,461
One-- but just for an inkling.
A second.

844
00:37:23,985 --> 00:37:26,988
My ex-wife had a miscarriage.

845
00:37:30,253 --> 00:37:31,515
You're right.

846
00:37:31,558 --> 00:37:34,213
I withdraw the question.
Forgive me.

847
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:37,956
Look...

848
00:37:37,999 --> 00:37:41,786
it is my job to help the courts
adjudicate these cases.

849
00:37:41,829 --> 00:37:45,268
And once they do,
the system takes over.

850
00:37:45,311 --> 00:37:46,921
It's very simple.

851
00:37:46,965 --> 00:37:49,141
It's not personal, Dr. Bull.

852
00:37:49,184 --> 00:37:50,490
It's my job.

853
00:37:50,534 --> 00:37:51,578
It's just my job.

854
00:37:51,622 --> 00:37:53,624
Your job.

855
00:37:53,667 --> 00:37:55,190
Not your agenda?

856
00:37:55,234 --> 00:37:57,323
You think I
have an agenda?

857
00:37:57,367 --> 00:37:59,673
Well, why else would you choose
to take the case?

858
00:37:59,717 --> 00:38:01,501
I chose this case
because nobody else

859
00:38:01,545 --> 00:38:03,373
in my department would take it.

860
00:38:03,416 --> 00:38:05,810
They all sympathize
with your client.

861
00:38:07,246 --> 00:38:09,988
Truth is, so do I.

862
00:38:10,031 --> 00:38:11,555
But...

863
00:38:11,598 --> 00:38:13,600
just like her, I took an oath,

864
00:38:13,644 --> 00:38:16,603
and just like her, I have
a professional responsibility.

865
00:38:16,647 --> 00:38:19,171
Mine is to uphold the law.

866
00:38:21,826 --> 00:38:24,785
And when your beliefs
don't align with the law?

867
00:38:24,829 --> 00:38:26,570
Look...

868
00:38:26,613 --> 00:38:29,050
the reality is...

869
00:38:29,094 --> 00:38:31,792
our beliefs don't matter...

870
00:38:31,836 --> 00:38:33,968
because it's not up to us

871
00:38:34,012 --> 00:38:37,320
to decide what happens
to Dr. Allen.

872
00:38:37,363 --> 00:38:38,886
I do my job.

873
00:38:38,930 --> 00:38:41,149
You do your job.

874
00:38:42,542 --> 00:38:45,284
The system does the rest.

875
00:38:56,295 --> 00:38:57,818
So, what did she say?

876
00:38:57,862 --> 00:38:59,516
She doesn't want to play.

877
00:39:00,691 --> 00:39:03,128
Is there any good news?

878
00:39:03,171 --> 00:39:05,391
Well, we do have eight jurors
on our side--

879
00:39:05,435 --> 00:39:08,176
we just need to move
those other four.

880
00:39:08,220 --> 00:39:09,526
Well, it's gonna be tough.

881
00:39:09,569 --> 00:39:12,355
I did some focus group work
with them tonight,

882
00:39:12,398 --> 00:39:14,400
and they're having
a really difficult time

883
00:39:14,444 --> 00:39:17,055
reconciling the fact that while
they sympathize with Laura,

884
00:39:17,098 --> 00:39:19,362
she knowingly broke the law.

885
00:39:22,321 --> 00:39:25,411
Then our job is to reconcile
those feelings for them.

886
00:39:25,455 --> 00:39:28,675
We need to empower them,
we need to tell them that...

887
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,374
in so many words,
their feelings about this case

888
00:39:31,417 --> 00:39:34,768
matter morethan the law.

889
00:39:34,812 --> 00:39:37,380
That each and...BENNY: That each and...

890
00:39:37,423 --> 00:39:38,598
every one of you... ...every one of you

891
00:39:38,642 --> 00:39:40,339
sitting here in front of me,

892
00:39:40,383 --> 00:39:42,385
your opinion matters.

893
00:39:44,517 --> 00:39:46,650
Your opinion matters.

894
00:39:46,693 --> 00:39:48,782
Your opinion matters,

895
00:39:48,826 --> 00:39:51,002
your opinion matters,

896
00:39:51,045 --> 00:39:53,787
and your opinion matters.

897
00:39:53,831 --> 00:39:55,963
Now, I-I can tell you
my opinion.

898
00:39:56,007 --> 00:39:58,662
I believe Ms. Allen
did the right thing.

899
00:39:59,706 --> 00:40:02,666
She did the most...
responsible,

900
00:40:02,709 --> 00:40:04,668
loving and kind thing

901
00:40:04,711 --> 00:40:07,105
for her patients
and for her son. I mean...

902
00:40:07,148 --> 00:40:08,672
think about it.

903
00:40:08,715 --> 00:40:12,023
How could she
have done any less?

904
00:40:12,066 --> 00:40:15,722
But... you know what?

905
00:40:15,766 --> 00:40:18,508
My opinion doesn't matter.

906
00:40:18,551 --> 00:40:20,640
For that matter,
the prosecution's opinion

907
00:40:20,684 --> 00:40:23,469
doesn't matter.

908
00:40:23,513 --> 00:40:27,212
Now, the prosecution would like
for you to think otherwise.

909
00:40:27,255 --> 00:40:29,606
The prosecution would like
for you to think

910
00:40:29,649 --> 00:40:32,086
that your opinion
doesn't matter at all.

911
00:40:32,130 --> 00:40:35,438
That the law is the law, and
everything else is irrelevant.

912
00:40:35,481 --> 00:40:36,743
But, you know,

913
00:40:36,787 --> 00:40:39,093
let's talk about the law
for a second.

914
00:40:39,137 --> 00:40:42,401
You know, it's different in
New York than it is in Virginia.

915
00:40:42,445 --> 00:40:44,795
And according
to the federal government,

916
00:40:44,838 --> 00:40:47,493
the law in New York
and 41 other states

917
00:40:47,537 --> 00:40:51,105
is in violation
of the law of the land.

918
00:40:51,149 --> 00:40:53,281
So what isthe law of the land

919
00:40:53,325 --> 00:40:55,458
if the states
can't agree with it?

920
00:40:56,546 --> 00:40:58,504
So...
[laughs softly]

921
00:40:58,548 --> 00:41:03,291
clearly, the law is
not as cut-and-dried.

922
00:41:03,335 --> 00:41:05,990
Clearly, that's
why we need your help,

923
00:41:06,033 --> 00:41:08,949
why we need your opinion.

924
00:41:08,993 --> 00:41:11,604
Now, I believe
we've proven

925
00:41:11,648 --> 00:41:14,825
that the only thing
my client did

926
00:41:14,868 --> 00:41:18,829
was do her job to the
absolute best of her ability.

927
00:41:18,872 --> 00:41:22,441
Be a mother to the absolute best
of her ability.

928
00:41:22,485 --> 00:41:26,924
To administer mercy whenever
she saw the opportunity.

929
00:41:26,967 --> 00:41:28,403
Now, if you think
that's a crime,

930
00:41:28,447 --> 00:41:30,884
then you know how to vote.

931
00:41:30,928 --> 00:41:33,626
But if you're like me--

932
00:41:33,670 --> 00:41:35,628
you know,
you think that's something

933
00:41:35,672 --> 00:41:37,978
that should be encouraged
in our society--

934
00:41:38,022 --> 00:41:41,286
I just ask that you do one thing
today, and that's just...

935
00:41:41,329 --> 00:41:44,768
do for Laura
what she would do for you.

936
00:41:46,204 --> 00:41:48,859
Show her the best care possible.

937
00:41:48,902 --> 00:41:51,426
Thank you.

938
00:41:51,470 --> 00:41:52,950
GARRISON:
Has the jury

939
00:41:52,993 --> 00:41:54,647
reached a verdict?

940
00:41:54,691 --> 00:41:56,736
We have, Your Honor.

941
00:41:56,780 --> 00:41:59,043
We the jury find the defendant,

942
00:41:59,086 --> 00:42:00,914
Laura Allen...

943
00:42:00,958 --> 00:42:02,699
not guilty.

944
00:42:02,742 --> 00:42:04,570
♪

945
00:42:16,277 --> 00:42:18,758
Oh...
[laughs]

946
00:42:24,459 --> 00:42:26,461
[laughs]
Yes.

947
00:42:29,247 --> 00:42:33,120
For someone who just lost,
you don't seem terribly upset.

948
00:42:33,164 --> 00:42:35,209
How can I be upset?

949
00:42:35,253 --> 00:42:36,733
The system worked.

950
00:42:36,776 --> 00:42:39,953
It was the outcome
that the people wanted.

951
00:42:39,997 --> 00:42:42,608
At least
all the people here.

952
00:42:42,652 --> 00:42:44,349
And that's how
it's supposed to be.

953
00:42:44,392 --> 00:42:47,831
I did my part,
you did yours.

954
00:42:47,874 --> 00:42:50,181
Justice was served.

955
00:42:53,967 --> 00:42:55,795
Well, she's a tough one.

956
00:42:55,839 --> 00:42:57,580
Oh, yeah.

957
00:42:57,623 --> 00:43:00,321
You could tell
she was out for blood.

958
00:43:00,365 --> 00:43:01,888
You think so?

959
00:43:01,932 --> 00:43:04,761
Without a doubt.Hmm.
