Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,134 --> 00:00:04,771
- Previously on The Practice.
- Ms. Dole.
2
00:00:04,838 --> 00:00:07,908
- Professor?
- I won't die.
3
00:00:07,974 --> 00:00:12,078
I'll live forever, if for no other
reason than to see this through.
4
00:00:12,145 --> 00:00:14,781
Your client's cigarettes
killed my wife.
5
00:00:14,848 --> 00:00:18,919
Bobby Donnell is a good practitioner.
You studied to be a lawyer.
6
00:00:18,985 --> 00:00:21,222
I-I don't mean
to speak out of turn.
7
00:00:21,288 --> 00:00:24,391
It's just... I should hate
to see you waste your gift.
8
00:00:24,458 --> 00:00:27,494
- This is your third time, Mr. Holsten.
- It was an accident.
9
00:00:27,561 --> 00:00:31,398
- You exposed your penis by accident?
- I was protesting NAFTA.
10
00:00:31,465 --> 00:00:34,401
In my experience, genitalia
rarely collides with sunlight...
11
00:00:34,468 --> 00:00:36,871
because of a U.S.
trade agreement.
12
00:00:36,938 --> 00:00:38,906
You see this?
What?
13
00:00:38,973 --> 00:00:43,244
Huh? Eviction notice. These are the things
that happen when you can't make the rent.
14
00:00:43,310 --> 00:00:45,246
70,000?
Come due in 90.
15
00:00:45,312 --> 00:00:48,392
With the usurious rates, this will help you
get a promotion. Cut me a small break.
16
00:00:48,416 --> 00:00:50,752
- Do I ask for much?
- You ask all the time, Bobby.
17
00:00:50,818 --> 00:00:52,920
And I give like a cow.
I'm growing udders here.
18
00:00:52,987 --> 00:00:55,189
I'll give you a construction
loan for office expansion.
19
00:00:55,257 --> 00:00:57,124
Ah. Thank you.
20
00:01:08,971 --> 00:01:10,705
Get away from me! Oh!
21
00:01:28,924 --> 00:01:32,695
You're the guy's rabbi. Yeah,
well, he asked to see his lawyer.
22
00:01:34,096 --> 00:01:36,465
Bobby, be quiet.
23
00:01:38,934 --> 00:01:40,936
Dr. Braun.
24
00:01:41,003 --> 00:01:42,838
Thank you for coming.
25
00:01:45,408 --> 00:01:47,476
This is her tombstone.
26
00:01:47,543 --> 00:01:50,613
See, I wanted you to, uh...
27
00:01:54,317 --> 00:01:58,788
"Wrongful death."
It's... such a legal term.
28
00:01:58,855 --> 00:02:01,224
"Cause of action."
29
00:02:01,290 --> 00:02:04,127
This is more than
a cause of action for me.
30
00:02:04,193 --> 00:02:06,730
I have never thought otherwise.
31
00:02:08,131 --> 00:02:10,233
Has there been any progress?
32
00:02:10,299 --> 00:02:13,369
We're waiting till
the criminal trial is over.
33
00:02:13,437 --> 00:02:15,505
What if he's not convicted?
34
00:02:15,572 --> 00:02:17,574
Well, that doesn't affect
our civil claim.
35
00:02:17,641 --> 00:02:19,876
There's a different
standard of proof.
36
00:02:30,420 --> 00:02:32,822
Danny, what's goin' on?
37
00:02:32,889 --> 00:02:35,325
The trial is not going well.
38
00:02:35,392 --> 00:02:38,295
But the other guy confessed.
Yeah. Only to his priest,
39
00:02:38,362 --> 00:02:40,597
and now they've got all these
psychiatric experts...
40
00:02:40,664 --> 00:02:43,100
saying that he was
temporarily insane.
41
00:02:43,167 --> 00:02:45,703
I think it's working.
42
00:02:50,107 --> 00:02:52,510
You read him his rights yet?
Twice.
43
00:02:52,577 --> 00:02:54,812
Hi.
Hi.
44
00:02:57,247 --> 00:03:00,618
All right, inside.
Inside. Let's go.
45
00:03:05,623 --> 00:03:09,394
- Mr. Holsten?
- It was entrapment.
46
00:03:09,460 --> 00:03:11,572
Did the police handcuff you to
him, or is this some thing?
47
00:03:11,596 --> 00:03:14,865
No, she did. I don't
know who this person is.
48
00:03:14,932 --> 00:03:19,905
- Is that true, sir? - I ain't saying
nothin' until my attorney gets here.
49
00:03:19,971 --> 00:03:22,240
It was entrapment.
50
00:03:22,307 --> 00:03:24,475
A man can't walk
down the street these days...
51
00:03:24,542 --> 00:03:26,544
without getting handcuffed
to a dwarf.
52
00:04:13,693 --> 00:04:16,328
How can it be working? You're a
defense lawyer. You tell me.
53
00:04:16,395 --> 00:04:18,898
He strangled her for a full
seven minutes, Pam.
54
00:04:18,965 --> 00:04:21,568
How is that temporary insanity?
Bobby, you got the civil claim.
55
00:04:21,634 --> 00:04:24,336
Leave the criminal
prosecution to me, okay?
56
00:04:24,404 --> 00:04:26,406
Mrs. Braun, hello.
57
00:04:26,473 --> 00:04:28,841
Hello. Hi, Bobby.
Hi, Roberta.
58
00:04:28,908 --> 00:04:31,578
I just saw your husband at the cemetery.
Oh, yeah.
59
00:04:31,644 --> 00:04:34,981
His home away from home.
How you doin'?
60
00:04:35,047 --> 00:04:38,218
I'll be happy when today's
testimony is over with.
61
00:04:38,285 --> 00:04:42,289
Miss Bork tells me the defense
attorney will probably be aggressive.
62
00:04:44,992 --> 00:04:46,793
Yeah.
63
00:04:46,860 --> 00:04:49,062
Do you know the lawyer?
Leonard Goode?
64
00:04:49,129 --> 00:04:52,165
Oh, yeah.
65
00:04:52,232 --> 00:04:55,669
She was frightened by him. Frightened?
How so, ma'am?
66
00:04:55,736 --> 00:04:58,939
He said to her,
"You will not leave me,"
67
00:04:59,006 --> 00:05:00,974
- in a tone...
- Objection. Hearsay.
68
00:05:01,041 --> 00:05:03,987
Excited utterance. Doesn't go to the
truth of the words. She's testifying...
69
00:05:04,011 --> 00:05:06,814
- about what was told to somebody else.
- The objection is overruled.
70
00:05:09,049 --> 00:05:10,984
Continue, Mrs. Braun.
71
00:05:11,051 --> 00:05:14,255
My daughter was afraid,
when she broke up with him,
72
00:05:14,322 --> 00:05:17,090
that he might try to kill her.
73
00:05:17,158 --> 00:05:19,026
You didn't really think...
74
00:05:19,092 --> 00:05:21,662
that Donna was in any physical
danger from my client, did you?
75
00:05:21,729 --> 00:05:23,597
I know she thought she was.
76
00:05:23,664 --> 00:05:26,000
Yes, but if you thought
she was in physical danger,
77
00:05:26,067 --> 00:05:28,536
why didn't you call the police?
78
00:05:28,602 --> 00:05:31,405
And tell them what? "My daughter
has a crazy boyfriend"?
79
00:05:31,472 --> 00:05:34,575
- What could they really do?
- Well, did you see what they could do?
80
00:05:34,642 --> 00:05:38,346
- Did you call 'em up and ask?
- No.
81
00:05:38,412 --> 00:05:41,282
You'd think a concerned mother
would bother.
82
00:05:41,349 --> 00:05:45,119
You seem a concerned mother, but isn't
it true that you weren't concerned?
83
00:05:45,186 --> 00:05:48,790
- That is not true.
- Then why didn't you notify the police?
84
00:05:49,791 --> 00:05:53,027
My daughter was a grown woman,
85
00:05:53,094 --> 00:05:57,399
and I respected her wishes
that I stay out of it.
86
00:05:57,466 --> 00:05:59,968
Mrs. Braun,
you're up here, basically,
87
00:06:00,034 --> 00:06:03,905
to undercut the idea that Ronald
Martin was temporarily insane.
88
00:06:03,972 --> 00:06:07,676
Because, as the victim's mother, you
wanna see him punished, don't you?
89
00:06:07,742 --> 00:06:09,844
Objection!
Overruled.
90
00:06:09,911 --> 00:06:13,548
Let's be honest. You want
him punished, don't you?
91
00:06:13,615 --> 00:06:16,285
He's a murderer,
92
00:06:16,351 --> 00:06:19,288
and he should be punished.
93
00:06:19,354 --> 00:06:21,991
- And you're up here doing your
part, aren't you? - Objection!
94
00:06:22,057 --> 00:06:23,893
Sustained.
95
00:06:23,959 --> 00:06:27,162
Okay. Well, let me just see
if I can get this clear.
96
00:06:27,229 --> 00:06:31,667
You were afraid that Mr. Martin
might kill your daughter,
97
00:06:31,734 --> 00:06:36,171
but you stayed silent on the whole
matter out of respect for her privacy?
98
00:06:40,109 --> 00:06:42,549
I thought she was attracted to me.
I saw what she was wearing.
99
00:06:42,578 --> 00:06:44,514
You had to know
she was a prostitute.
100
00:06:44,580 --> 00:06:46,549
Hey, I didn't agree to pay her.
101
00:06:46,616 --> 00:06:50,186
And the dwarf
came out of nowhere.
102
00:06:50,253 --> 00:06:52,956
Look, I can argue that, but
you're a repeated sex offender.
103
00:06:53,023 --> 00:06:55,225
I wouldn't pretend
to be optimistic.
104
00:06:55,291 --> 00:06:57,627
I want my day in court.
105
00:07:01,064 --> 00:07:04,000
Mr. Holsten, I thought
we had an understanding.
106
00:07:04,067 --> 00:07:06,670
You were gonna try to get some help.
I will,
107
00:07:06,737 --> 00:07:09,640
but first I want
my day in court.
108
00:07:12,576 --> 00:07:14,878
It's called "discovery,"
counsel.
109
00:07:14,945 --> 00:07:18,349
It's called "abuse of process."
This is the third deposition.
110
00:07:18,415 --> 00:07:20,351
He's the plaintiff.
111
00:07:20,417 --> 00:07:23,720
Are you suggesting the defendant not be
allowed to depose the person suing him?
112
00:07:23,787 --> 00:07:26,566
Of course they can, but there's a difference
between deposing a witness and searching.
113
00:07:26,590 --> 00:07:28,992
Your motion is denied.
114
00:07:29,059 --> 00:07:31,962
Mr. Pearson, you may resume
the deposition.
115
00:07:32,029 --> 00:07:35,632
- You'll pay the court costs and I'm
fining you $500 to boot. - What?
116
00:07:35,699 --> 00:07:38,069
My docket is clogged
with two zillion cases...
117
00:07:38,135 --> 00:07:41,138
because lawyers like you come in
here wanting to argue everything.
118
00:07:41,205 --> 00:07:43,707
And what else?
119
00:07:45,977 --> 00:07:48,279
I'd also be seeking
to continue oral arguments...
120
00:07:48,345 --> 00:07:50,214
on summary judgment.
No.
121
00:07:50,281 --> 00:07:53,885
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Delay, delay, delay, delay.
122
00:07:53,951 --> 00:07:57,121
He filed a 223-page memorandum.
123
00:07:57,188 --> 00:07:59,988
Then why are you here when you could
be reading it? $200 fine for that.
124
00:08:00,024 --> 00:08:02,560
- You can't fine me for asking
for a continuance. - I just did.
125
00:08:02,627 --> 00:08:05,897
- Fifty bucks
for saying I can't.
126
00:08:05,963 --> 00:08:09,701
Don't you look at me like that.
Mr. Pearson?
127
00:08:09,767 --> 00:08:12,804
As an officer of this court,
I apologize for this.
128
00:08:12,870 --> 00:08:15,640
Thank you, Your Honor.
129
00:08:15,707 --> 00:08:18,944
Actually apologized to him.
Bobby...
130
00:08:19,011 --> 00:08:22,014
He was sucking up to him. The
judge was in awe of Pearson.
131
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,258
He probably wants a job after
he's thrown off the bench.
132
00:08:24,282 --> 00:08:27,085
He was kissing the guy's ass.
Excuse me.
133
00:08:29,154 --> 00:08:31,724
Is this a bad time?
134
00:08:31,790 --> 00:08:36,261
I was wondering if we could push
tomorrow's deposition from 2:30 to 2:45.
135
00:08:36,328 --> 00:08:39,331
I've got a luncheon seminar
that could run over.
136
00:08:39,397 --> 00:08:42,000
2:45 will be...
137
00:08:43,836 --> 00:08:46,539
fine.
138
00:08:58,784 --> 00:09:01,054
This is beneath you.
139
00:09:05,324 --> 00:09:07,160
Yes?
He's due back any second.
140
00:09:07,226 --> 00:09:10,129
Sure you don't want coffee? I
think I'm gonna just leave.
141
00:09:10,196 --> 00:09:13,566
Oh, no, no, no, Mr. Ray.
They'll be back. You see?
142
00:09:13,632 --> 00:09:15,401
I'm not gonna keep on
being a nice guy.
143
00:09:15,468 --> 00:09:17,804
Hold it, hold it, hold it.
One at a time.
144
00:09:17,871 --> 00:09:19,749
You said the last deposition
was the last deposition.
145
00:09:19,773 --> 00:09:21,174
Let me go first.
Hey!
146
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,643
My problem is your problem.
I should get to go first.
147
00:09:25,144 --> 00:09:28,081
What's the problem? People at the
bank are asking questions...
148
00:09:28,147 --> 00:09:30,884
about the loan
we extended to you.
149
00:09:30,950 --> 00:09:33,453
What people?
Superiors.
150
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,656
Worst kind. They want to know
why paperwork isn't done yet.
151
00:09:36,723 --> 00:09:40,960
This I can handle, but they're also
asking about this office expansion,
152
00:09:41,028 --> 00:09:43,397
which we said that the loan
was for, which it ain't...
153
00:09:43,463 --> 00:09:47,801
since you got no place to expand,
since the place next to you is taken.
154
00:09:47,868 --> 00:09:49,870
Your forehead's sweating, Jimmy.
155
00:09:49,937 --> 00:09:51,939
I don't like it
when your forehead sweats.
156
00:09:52,006 --> 00:09:54,108
A guy named Jonathan Cramer
called here yesterday.
157
00:09:54,174 --> 00:09:57,812
Said he got mixed signals. He's
gonna be asking you some things.
158
00:09:57,878 --> 00:10:00,047
What things?
Things like,
159
00:10:00,114 --> 00:10:02,550
did you represent to me that
your office was expanding?
160
00:10:02,617 --> 00:10:06,253
Did you show me blueprints and stuff?
Those kinds of questions.
161
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,323
If I answer yes
to those questions, Jimmy,
162
00:10:09,390 --> 00:10:12,292
the next arraignment I go to
will be my own.
163
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,062
This is probably what accounts for
the sweat you see on my forehead.
164
00:10:15,129 --> 00:10:19,099
See, if you didn't make
those representations,
165
00:10:19,167 --> 00:10:22,403
unemployment in the commonwealth
goes up a blip.
166
00:10:24,272 --> 00:10:27,943
This is why I'm thinking
we got a problem.
167
00:10:28,009 --> 00:10:31,046
- Got one.
- What?
168
00:10:31,112 --> 00:10:33,681
Podiatrist, 40-ish,
loves movies and Maine.
169
00:10:33,748 --> 00:10:35,951
Spoke to him for an hour
on the phone last night.
170
00:10:36,017 --> 00:10:39,888
You gonna go out? I'm gonna
keep it audio for a while.
171
00:10:39,955 --> 00:10:41,690
- Oh, excuse me.
- Hi. Danny?
172
00:10:41,757 --> 00:10:44,993
Rebecca, in my office, please.
What's with the tone?
173
00:10:45,060 --> 00:10:47,563
In my office.
Ellenor Frutt.
174
00:10:47,629 --> 00:10:49,631
What...
175
00:10:49,698 --> 00:10:52,868
Somebody from Boston Fidelity called,
inquiring about our office expansion?
176
00:10:52,934 --> 00:10:57,473
- Yeah, yesterday. - And you informed
him that this office was not expanding?
177
00:10:57,539 --> 00:10:59,675
Well, we're not.
Are we?
178
00:10:59,741 --> 00:11:01,743
It is not your place
to disseminate...
179
00:11:01,810 --> 00:11:04,113
any information with respect
to this law practice.
180
00:11:04,180 --> 00:11:08,350
You take messages. You don't give them.
You got that?
181
00:11:08,417 --> 00:11:11,120
You got that, Rebecca?
182
00:11:11,187 --> 00:11:13,055
I got it.
183
00:11:13,122 --> 00:11:15,357
How much of this bank loan
do we have left?
184
00:11:15,424 --> 00:11:17,693
- None.
- Okay.
185
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:20,129
Is that all?
Yeah, that's all.
186
00:11:25,167 --> 00:11:28,370
Okay. There's a grenade
I gotta go fall on.
187
00:11:28,437 --> 00:11:30,306
What are you gonna say?
188
00:11:32,509 --> 00:11:34,444
The truth.
189
00:11:34,511 --> 00:11:37,480
Buddy comes in strapped. I invented
a way to get him some help.
190
00:11:37,547 --> 00:11:40,717
What about falsifying loan documents,
Jimmy? Nothing's signed yet.
191
00:11:40,783 --> 00:11:43,085
That doesn't necessarily matter.
192
00:11:44,354 --> 00:11:46,789
They'll just fire me.
They won't be pressing charges.
193
00:11:53,196 --> 00:11:57,434
He came into the confessional. He
was obviously in a state of shock.
194
00:11:57,500 --> 00:12:00,437
- Objection!
- I'll allow it.
195
00:12:00,503 --> 00:12:03,406
What did Mr. Martin say,
Father?
196
00:12:03,473 --> 00:12:06,109
He said he couldn't be sure,
197
00:12:06,176 --> 00:12:10,113
but he thought that he had just
strangled his girlfriend.
198
00:12:10,180 --> 00:12:13,751
- I see.
- He wasn't sure?
199
00:12:13,817 --> 00:12:17,154
He said he could see
the image of it.
200
00:12:17,220 --> 00:12:20,824
He couldn't remember it as if it were
something that actually happened,
201
00:12:20,891 --> 00:12:24,328
but he felt...
202
00:12:24,395 --> 00:12:26,297
that it did happen.
203
00:12:26,364 --> 00:12:28,199
And how did you respond
to that, Father?
204
00:12:28,266 --> 00:12:30,601
I told him he should
go to the police.
205
00:12:30,668 --> 00:12:33,003
He had to.
And he agreed.
206
00:12:33,071 --> 00:12:35,306
And did he say anything else?
207
00:12:35,373 --> 00:12:39,310
Yes. He begged me
for forgiveness,
208
00:12:39,377 --> 00:12:41,345
for absolution.
209
00:12:41,412 --> 00:12:45,383
- And did you grant it to him?
- Yes. I did.
210
00:12:46,384 --> 00:12:48,787
Sit down, Dr. Braun.
211
00:12:49,988 --> 00:12:52,123
Dr. Braun,
please be seated.
212
00:12:52,190 --> 00:12:54,425
Jerry.
213
00:12:54,492 --> 00:12:57,796
Sit down, sir, or I will
remove you from this room.
214
00:13:11,710 --> 00:13:15,547
He wants to go to trial.
We're going this afternoon.
215
00:13:15,614 --> 00:13:17,416
Just like that?
Well, it's muni.
216
00:13:17,482 --> 00:13:19,784
Judge bounced us to a six-man jury.
There's no discovery.
217
00:13:19,851 --> 00:13:24,423
Might as well try today, before he unzips
his pants and extends his criminal record.
218
00:13:24,489 --> 00:13:28,327
And the defense is, he was
with a prostitute because...
219
00:13:28,393 --> 00:13:31,697
- He loved her.
- Oh, yeah. Right. Mm-hmm.
220
00:13:31,764 --> 00:13:34,333
Any suggestions?
221
00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:37,069
- "United States of America."
- You think?
222
00:13:37,136 --> 00:13:39,371
What else have you got?
223
00:13:40,506 --> 00:13:42,508
Yeah.
224
00:13:42,575 --> 00:13:44,510
"United States of America."
225
00:13:44,577 --> 00:13:47,146
You think I should go hard?
I don't know.
226
00:13:47,212 --> 00:13:49,349
Tough to look sympathetic
cross-examining a priest.
227
00:13:49,415 --> 00:13:53,553
Yeah, well, that priest was
pretty effective. You heard him.
228
00:13:53,619 --> 00:13:56,021
Listen, Pam, if you go at
him, don't go halfway.
229
00:13:56,088 --> 00:13:58,191
You gotta get him.
230
00:13:58,258 --> 00:14:00,260
Yeah.
231
00:14:00,326 --> 00:14:03,896
So, Father, as I understand it,
232
00:14:03,964 --> 00:14:07,300
this man commits a murder,
233
00:14:07,367 --> 00:14:10,236
then he proceeds
to your confessional,
234
00:14:10,303 --> 00:14:12,638
where you proceed
to offer him absolution.
235
00:14:14,407 --> 00:14:16,309
Is that correct?
236
00:14:16,376 --> 00:14:19,946
It's not quite that simple.
That's the way it seems.
237
00:14:20,013 --> 00:14:22,983
It also seems strange that you
come to this court every day...
238
00:14:23,049 --> 00:14:24,618
and sit behind him
in apparent support.
239
00:14:24,685 --> 00:14:28,955
Well, I suppose it's easy
to love a Mother Teresa,
240
00:14:29,022 --> 00:14:31,925
but I believe God teaches us
to love all people.
241
00:14:31,992 --> 00:14:35,662
- Yes, that's sweet. - Objection. She's
mocking the witness, Your Honor.
242
00:14:35,729 --> 00:14:38,875
Mocking him? He comes to a murder trial
and compares the killer to Mother Teresa.
243
00:14:38,899 --> 00:14:40,834
- Why would I mock that?
- Move to strike.
244
00:14:40,901 --> 00:14:43,270
Let's get on with it.
245
00:14:43,337 --> 00:14:47,574
Exactly how long did it take you to forgive
Ronald Martin for strangling Donna Braun?
246
00:14:47,641 --> 00:14:49,376
- More than a minute?
- Objection!
247
00:14:49,443 --> 00:14:52,446
This man is basically here
as a character witness.
248
00:14:52,513 --> 00:14:55,082
- He's testifying as to fact,
not character. - May I finish?
249
00:14:55,149 --> 00:14:57,184
- No.
- Both of you, kindly step up to the bench.
250
00:15:04,659 --> 00:15:07,662
Once a month or so,
I go into a depression.
251
00:15:07,729 --> 00:15:10,498
I think it's probably because I come
to a place of work every day...
252
00:15:10,565 --> 00:15:13,100
populated by rapists,
murderers, child molesters...
253
00:15:13,167 --> 00:15:15,136
But that's not the reason.
254
00:15:15,202 --> 00:15:19,474
It's because of the daily sewage I have to
swallow, listening to what comes out...
255
00:15:19,541 --> 00:15:22,120
of the mouths of these malignant,
cancerous, infected little cysts...
256
00:15:22,144 --> 00:15:24,246
we call lawyers.
257
00:15:24,312 --> 00:15:27,815
You... Don't make me state
my opinion of what you are.
258
00:15:27,882 --> 00:15:29,917
It would be grounds
for a mistrial.
259
00:15:29,985 --> 00:15:32,554
And you, stop sinking
to his level.
260
00:15:34,789 --> 00:15:37,592
We're going to take a break so you
little children can reflect, okay?
261
00:15:38,761 --> 00:15:40,696
Now step back.
262
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,669
Twenty-minute recess.
263
00:15:46,735 --> 00:15:50,105
I see attorney Bobby Donnell
is in the back of the room.
264
00:15:50,172 --> 00:15:53,442
I'll see you
in chambers, please.
265
00:15:53,509 --> 00:15:56,945
Bobby, I assume you know
what we think of attorneys...
266
00:15:57,012 --> 00:15:58,981
who promote criminal
murder trials...
267
00:15:59,047 --> 00:16:01,149
to advance their civil
wrongful death claims.
268
00:16:01,217 --> 00:16:03,118
I'm not doing that.
269
00:16:03,186 --> 00:16:06,189
There's nothing wrong with me
monitoring a criminal trial. In fact...
270
00:16:06,255 --> 00:16:09,468
I'm told you have investigators out looking
for some of the defendant's ex-girlfriends.
271
00:16:09,492 --> 00:16:12,295
One, who he supposedly beat up.
272
00:16:12,361 --> 00:16:15,731
Look, it'd be malpractice if
I didn't try to find her.
273
00:16:15,798 --> 00:16:18,301
Well, you better be careful
on any search and seizure,
274
00:16:18,367 --> 00:16:20,703
because I might just find your
conduct to be state action.
275
00:16:20,770 --> 00:16:22,772
I'm not working with the D.A.
276
00:16:22,839 --> 00:16:24,741
Well, it doesn't look good.
277
00:16:24,808 --> 00:16:27,310
Well, I don't care how it looks.
278
00:16:27,376 --> 00:16:30,346
And for your information,
this is not just about money.
279
00:16:30,413 --> 00:16:32,415
If that guy gets acquitted here,
280
00:16:32,481 --> 00:16:35,318
I will be using
the civil trial to nail him,
281
00:16:35,384 --> 00:16:37,821
mostly so Donna Braun's parents
can get some peace...
282
00:16:37,887 --> 00:16:40,357
that at least one jury
found him to be a murderer.
283
00:16:40,424 --> 00:16:42,459
What you do in your civil
case isn't my concern.
284
00:16:42,526 --> 00:16:45,962
But keep your nose out of
the criminal prosecution.
285
00:16:46,029 --> 00:16:48,031
That's my only warning.
286
00:16:51,401 --> 00:16:54,004
Your wife's doctor told her
cigarettes were hazardous?
287
00:16:54,071 --> 00:16:56,673
Yes.
Did he tell her...
288
00:16:56,740 --> 00:16:59,209
they could cause cancer
and vascular disease?
289
00:16:59,276 --> 00:17:02,746
Objection. You can answer. Yes.
290
00:17:02,813 --> 00:17:05,816
Mm-hmm. Did you tell her that
cigarette smoking could kill her?
291
00:17:05,883 --> 00:17:08,052
Many times.
In fact, you...
292
00:17:08,118 --> 00:17:10,187
You begged her to quit,
didn't you?
293
00:17:10,254 --> 00:17:12,389
And she did, many times.
294
00:17:12,456 --> 00:17:15,860
- Mm-hmm. But she'd start up again.
- She was addicted.
295
00:17:15,926 --> 00:17:18,228
Right.
296
00:17:19,897 --> 00:17:24,335
Ah! Let the record reflect
attorney Donnell has just entered.
297
00:17:24,402 --> 00:17:26,704
Why has this proceeding
started without me?
298
00:17:26,771 --> 00:17:29,039
Oh, we didn't want
to make your client wait.
299
00:17:29,106 --> 00:17:31,742
And, uh, Ms. Dole
offered no objection.
300
00:17:31,809 --> 00:17:33,944
She should have.
301
00:17:34,011 --> 00:17:36,347
For the record...
Bad form, Pearson.
302
00:17:36,414 --> 00:17:39,784
Consider me chagrined.
303
00:17:39,850 --> 00:17:42,253
Would you like to sit?
304
00:17:48,827 --> 00:17:51,229
You're letting him push you around.
I'm not.
305
00:17:51,296 --> 00:17:53,875
There was no excuse for allowing
that deposition to begin without me.
306
00:17:53,899 --> 00:17:56,501
I didn't know how late you were gonna be.
Then you postpone it.
307
00:17:56,568 --> 00:17:58,537
With the stenographer
and everybody there?
308
00:17:58,604 --> 00:18:00,739
You don't want to
inconvenience your mentor?
309
00:18:00,806 --> 00:18:02,908
It wasn't that. It was that.
I see you.
310
00:18:02,974 --> 00:18:05,143
You're looking for his approval.
311
00:18:05,210 --> 00:18:07,212
You've got this
brilliant legal mind,
312
00:18:07,278 --> 00:18:09,248
but if you don't
turn into a fighter,
313
00:18:09,315 --> 00:18:11,850
you are gonna be
a doormat in this town.
314
00:18:11,917 --> 00:18:13,852
Okay.
315
00:18:16,155 --> 00:18:18,124
Now, this
summary judgment hearing...
316
00:18:18,190 --> 00:18:20,059
Are you up to going
against Pearson or not?
317
00:18:20,126 --> 00:18:23,195
I'm up to it.
318
00:18:23,262 --> 00:18:26,565
I am.
I know you are.
319
00:18:26,632 --> 00:18:29,201
I just wanna be sure
that you know it.
320
00:18:32,371 --> 00:18:36,342
I was walking down the street, minding
my own business, then I saw her.
321
00:18:36,408 --> 00:18:39,011
- Her being...
- Sheila.
322
00:18:39,078 --> 00:18:41,047
And what happened next, sir?
323
00:18:41,113 --> 00:18:43,683
Well, our eyes locked briefly,
324
00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:48,388
and I came to the conclusion that
the attraction was, uh, mutual.
325
00:18:48,455 --> 00:18:50,890
And what happened next, sir?
326
00:18:50,957 --> 00:18:53,260
I exposed myself.
327
00:18:53,326 --> 00:18:56,263
You exposed yourself, sir?
328
00:18:56,329 --> 00:18:58,431
That is as close
as I usually get...
329
00:18:58,498 --> 00:19:00,900
to a beautiful woman,
Your Honor.
330
00:19:00,967 --> 00:19:04,237
I'm not a handsome man
in the bright sunlight.
331
00:19:04,304 --> 00:19:06,639
And what happened next,
Mr. Holsten?
332
00:19:06,706 --> 00:19:10,743
She took my hand and led me
upstairs to her apartment.
333
00:19:10,811 --> 00:19:13,613
A strange woman grabbed you by the
hand and led you to her place?
334
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,483
- Yes, Your Honor.
- What were you thinking?
335
00:19:16,549 --> 00:19:18,585
Only that I should follow.
336
00:19:18,652 --> 00:19:21,622
And you did not know
that she was a prostitute?
337
00:19:21,689 --> 00:19:23,557
No.
338
00:19:23,624 --> 00:19:26,326
Next thing I know, the police
are charging in...
339
00:19:26,393 --> 00:19:28,962
and I'm chained to a dwarf
smoking a Camel.
340
00:19:30,698 --> 00:19:32,566
Your witness.
341
00:19:33,767 --> 00:19:36,970
This woman stated that
before she grabbed your hand,
342
00:19:37,037 --> 00:19:41,475
she said to you, "300,"
at which point you nodded.
343
00:19:41,542 --> 00:19:44,578
I thought she was
guessing my weight.
344
00:19:49,450 --> 00:19:51,886
He never said anything
about office expansion.
345
00:19:51,953 --> 00:19:54,555
That was my mistake.
346
00:19:54,622 --> 00:19:56,724
How do you make
such a mistake, Jimmy?
347
00:19:56,791 --> 00:19:59,794
'Cause office expansion was something
he'd approached me about before.
348
00:19:59,861 --> 00:20:01,830
I-I even got the plans.
349
00:20:01,896 --> 00:20:05,466
I mistakenly assumed
that this loan was about that.
350
00:20:05,533 --> 00:20:07,869
So you expedited
a $70,000 loan...
351
00:20:07,936 --> 00:20:10,271
without even asking
the question what it was for?
352
00:20:10,338 --> 00:20:12,607
You just assumed,
and wrote the check.
353
00:20:12,674 --> 00:20:15,344
You want it off the record,
John?
354
00:20:15,410 --> 00:20:17,579
Nothing's off the record.
355
00:20:19,981 --> 00:20:23,218
Bobby's one of my best friends.
He's having a bad month.
356
00:20:23,285 --> 00:20:25,620
I helped him.
357
00:20:25,687 --> 00:20:27,822
I made the loan
under office expansion...
358
00:20:27,889 --> 00:20:32,427
'cause I couldn't figure any other
way without you asking questions.
359
00:20:32,494 --> 00:20:34,596
And your friend played along?
He just took the loan.
360
00:20:34,663 --> 00:20:37,466
He didn't know how
I was swinging it.
361
00:20:37,532 --> 00:20:40,335
You're a sweet man, Jimmy.
362
00:20:40,402 --> 00:20:43,038
Stupid, but sweet.
363
00:20:45,340 --> 00:20:47,810
So, how's it gonna be?
364
00:20:47,877 --> 00:20:50,479
Pack up your office.
You're fired.
365
00:20:50,546 --> 00:20:54,249
If you or Mr. Donnell return the 70,000
within 30 days, that'll be the end of it.
366
00:20:54,316 --> 00:20:57,487
If you don't, I refer the matter
to the district attorney.
367
00:21:00,856 --> 00:21:05,295
Mr. Martin had entered into what
we call a dissociative state.
368
00:21:05,361 --> 00:21:09,765
I see. And could you describe what
that means for the jury, Doctor?
369
00:21:09,832 --> 00:21:14,137
Essentially, it's a psychological
splitting mechanism,
370
00:21:14,204 --> 00:21:17,207
causing a segregation of normal,
integrated patterns of perception.
371
00:21:17,273 --> 00:21:21,477
Uh, Doctor, I'm sure you feel
you've just explained it, but...
372
00:21:23,613 --> 00:21:29,085
Basically, when the victim broke off
the relationship, Mr. Martin snapped.
373
00:21:29,152 --> 00:21:31,054
He lost conscious control,
374
00:21:31,121 --> 00:21:33,790
and pretty much was on automatic
pilot when he strangled her.
375
00:21:33,857 --> 00:21:36,292
So he didn't know
what he was doing?
376
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,629
In my opinion, he did not.
377
00:21:38,695 --> 00:21:41,832
Look at him strut.
378
00:21:42,966 --> 00:21:45,135
The joy of doing your job well.
379
00:21:45,201 --> 00:21:47,771
Get on the elevator, Gerald. No, no, no.
I wanna watch him.
380
00:21:47,838 --> 00:21:50,674
Roberta's waiting for you at home.
Get on.
381
00:21:53,510 --> 00:21:57,414
Are you satisfied with the way the
trial is proceeding up to this point?
382
00:21:57,481 --> 00:22:02,119
Dr. Braun, I am both mindful of your
presence in the courtroom every day...
383
00:22:02,186 --> 00:22:04,055
and of your loss.
384
00:22:04,121 --> 00:22:06,390
I hope you realize
that I what I do in there...
385
00:22:06,457 --> 00:22:10,127
shouldn't be interpreted as a failure
on my part to feel your tragedy.
386
00:22:10,194 --> 00:22:12,630
Why don't you die?
387
00:22:15,066 --> 00:22:18,903
Uh, I'm sure your attorney
can convey my conflict.
388
00:22:18,970 --> 00:22:23,375
He has certainly been in a similar
position many, many times.
389
00:22:23,441 --> 00:22:25,743
Then he can die too.
390
00:22:29,547 --> 00:22:31,516
Beck, will you call
Warren Hillebranner...
391
00:22:31,583 --> 00:22:33,518
and tell him we want
our motion to compel.
392
00:22:33,585 --> 00:22:35,920
Sorry. I don't
disseminate information.
393
00:22:41,593 --> 00:22:45,397
- You got something to say to me?
- You want me to say it here?
394
00:22:49,034 --> 00:22:51,469
In my office.
395
00:22:58,677 --> 00:23:00,713
I don't know what's going on
with this bank loan.
396
00:23:00,779 --> 00:23:03,015
I'd like to say I don't care,
397
00:23:03,081 --> 00:23:04,983
but I do care.
398
00:23:05,050 --> 00:23:09,154
Because this place of business is
where I come to work every day.
399
00:23:09,221 --> 00:23:11,857
And if you expect me
to be a part of your schemes...
400
00:23:11,924 --> 00:23:14,427
or lies or whatever it is
you're pulling,
401
00:23:14,493 --> 00:23:17,763
then you've never bothered
to know who I am.
402
00:23:17,830 --> 00:23:21,500
I will never be a participant
in that kind of crap.
403
00:23:21,567 --> 00:23:23,502
That's one.
404
00:23:23,569 --> 00:23:25,638
Here's two.
405
00:23:25,704 --> 00:23:29,075
If you ever speak to me
with that kind of disrespect...
406
00:23:29,142 --> 00:23:32,045
Whether it be in front of somebody
else or just between us...
407
00:23:32,111 --> 00:23:34,547
I'll walk out that door.
408
00:23:35,448 --> 00:23:37,516
I apologize. I...
409
00:23:39,418 --> 00:23:41,555
I was...
410
00:23:41,621 --> 00:23:44,724
- I was out of line.
- You got that right.
411
00:23:46,292 --> 00:23:50,830
Bobby, you wanna keep this place
in operation, that's fine,
412
00:23:50,897 --> 00:23:55,702
but you better think real hard about exactly
what it is you're trying to keep going.
413
00:24:11,218 --> 00:24:15,355
Summary judgment motions are brought by
the defense in almost every civil action.
414
00:24:15,422 --> 00:24:18,793
It's a shot at getting the case
kicked on legal grounds.
415
00:24:18,859 --> 00:24:21,495
They almost never work.
416
00:24:21,561 --> 00:24:24,164
But you're talkin'
like you're worried.
417
00:24:24,231 --> 00:24:27,935
Well, if we should lose,
the case is over, finished,
418
00:24:28,002 --> 00:24:31,772
and since this judge
seems to be a little biased, I...
419
00:24:31,839 --> 00:24:34,342
I won't lie.
We're a little worried.
420
00:24:34,409 --> 00:24:37,345
So if we lose, we're done.
421
00:24:37,412 --> 00:24:39,914
What do we get out of it
if we win?
422
00:24:39,980 --> 00:24:45,486
- Well, hopefully, they'll start taking
us seriously. - Right now they're not?
423
00:24:45,553 --> 00:24:47,955
Not as much
as we'll like them to.
424
00:24:50,625 --> 00:24:53,261
Go. Get some rest.
425
00:24:56,364 --> 00:24:58,633
- Good night.
- Good night.
426
00:25:02,771 --> 00:25:04,673
Bobby, this judge...
427
00:25:04,740 --> 00:25:08,309
It may not be Pearson he's kissing
up to, but somebody in his firm.
428
00:25:08,376 --> 00:25:10,979
What?
Sydney Charpools...
429
00:25:11,046 --> 00:25:13,649
She was a year ahead of me at school.
She works at Finley.
430
00:25:13,715 --> 00:25:15,717
Before that,
she clerked for Small,
431
00:25:15,784 --> 00:25:19,688
and supposedly, something
happened between them.
432
00:25:19,755 --> 00:25:22,791
You're just telling me this now?
I just heard myself.
433
00:25:22,858 --> 00:25:25,827
Chris Kelton, a D.A.... also
in my class... he told me.
434
00:25:25,894 --> 00:25:27,929
Well, can we prove it?
I don't know.
435
00:25:27,996 --> 00:25:30,108
Even if we could, there's nothing
to suggest it's a factor.
436
00:25:30,132 --> 00:25:31,933
It was more than two years ago.
437
00:25:32,001 --> 00:25:33,735
I don't think Pearson
even knows about it.
438
00:25:33,802 --> 00:25:36,205
Still, if we can get
that judge off this case...
439
00:25:36,272 --> 00:25:38,307
What are you thinking?
440
00:25:38,374 --> 00:25:41,677
I'm thinking that if that judge slept
with a woman at Pearson's firm,
441
00:25:41,744 --> 00:25:43,846
that is a card,
442
00:25:43,913 --> 00:25:45,948
and it is not beneath me
to play it.
443
00:25:49,719 --> 00:25:53,523
- I thought he was cute.
- Mr. Holsten?
444
00:25:53,590 --> 00:25:57,960
- Sure. - When you invited him to
your apartment, it was because...
445
00:25:58,027 --> 00:26:00,062
On this particular occasion,
446
00:26:00,129 --> 00:26:03,700
it was because I found him
both attractive and nice.
447
00:26:05,101 --> 00:26:07,737
And when you quoted him 300?
448
00:26:07,804 --> 00:26:10,740
It was before I decided
I really liked him for free.
449
00:26:10,807 --> 00:26:14,377
And the dwarf?
Just a friend.
450
00:26:14,444 --> 00:26:17,480
And, of course, since you
yourself were charged,
451
00:26:17,547 --> 00:26:20,918
you would have an interest in denying that
this was sex for a fee, wouldn't you?
452
00:26:20,984 --> 00:26:24,287
Hey, I took an oath
to tell the truth here.
453
00:26:24,354 --> 00:26:26,924
When this man exposed himself
to you on the street,
454
00:26:26,990 --> 00:26:30,127
what exactly did that say
about him to you?
455
00:26:30,193 --> 00:26:33,964
Just that if I invited him
to my room, he'd probably come.
456
00:26:36,266 --> 00:26:40,471
The idea of setting
Ronald Martin free...
457
00:26:40,538 --> 00:26:44,542
has to seem horrific.
458
00:26:44,608 --> 00:26:48,078
He took the life
of an innocent woman.
459
00:26:48,145 --> 00:26:51,749
How can we excuse him?
How can we feel sorry for him?
460
00:26:51,815 --> 00:26:54,252
Well, you can.
461
00:26:54,318 --> 00:26:58,722
You can and you must,
because the law tells you to.
462
00:27:01,092 --> 00:27:03,794
Now, we've heard from seven
trained medical professionals.
463
00:27:03,862 --> 00:27:06,764
We've heard them testify
that Ronald Martin...
464
00:27:06,831 --> 00:27:12,003
was ill when he committed this act,
that he was temporarily insane.
465
00:27:12,070 --> 00:27:14,973
And if he didn't understand...
466
00:27:15,039 --> 00:27:17,341
the nature and the quality
of his act,
467
00:27:17,408 --> 00:27:20,344
then, legally, he's not guilty.
468
00:27:20,411 --> 00:27:22,514
That's the law.
469
00:27:22,581 --> 00:27:24,916
Now, you may not like it.
That's okay.
470
00:27:24,983 --> 00:27:28,920
But you have an obligation
to uphold the law here.
471
00:27:30,455 --> 00:27:34,359
And as you do, as you go back
to that room to deliberate,
472
00:27:34,426 --> 00:27:39,164
remember that our system of
jurisprudence, more than anything else,
473
00:27:39,231 --> 00:27:42,301
is designed to protect the weak.
474
00:27:42,367 --> 00:27:45,905
And you can hate him.
You can hate him.
475
00:27:45,971 --> 00:27:48,808
That's a human thing to do.
476
00:27:48,874 --> 00:27:51,310
But sometimes
the function of a jury...
477
00:27:51,376 --> 00:27:55,781
is to defend against human nature...
against lynch mob mentality.
478
00:27:55,848 --> 00:27:58,483
Because the law...
479
00:27:58,550 --> 00:28:02,354
The law is here to defend the most
vulnerable members of our society,
480
00:28:02,421 --> 00:28:05,791
who have nowhere else to be
safeguarded but right here.
481
00:28:05,858 --> 00:28:08,093
Yeah, let's all cry
for Ronald Martin.
482
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,063
We need to feel sorry for these
poor, misunderstood murderers.
483
00:28:11,130 --> 00:28:13,699
Dr. Braun, this... He gets to sit
in that room as the victim.
484
00:28:13,766 --> 00:28:16,269
They're looking at him as the casualty.
I will get my turn.
485
00:28:16,336 --> 00:28:18,538
My daughter's
a piece of evidence now.
486
00:28:18,604 --> 00:28:20,973
"The body."
487
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,109
This is sick.
Jerry.
488
00:28:23,176 --> 00:28:25,278
She's not even a person anymore.
489
00:28:25,345 --> 00:28:27,347
She's exhibit "A."
490
00:28:28,481 --> 00:28:30,350
You don't even care.
491
00:28:33,553 --> 00:28:35,956
I'm deeply sympathetic
to what you're going through.
492
00:28:37,157 --> 00:28:39,960
I know this is
an emotional time,
493
00:28:40,026 --> 00:28:43,129
but don't you dare
accuse me of not caring.
494
00:28:44,565 --> 00:28:46,467
I give my closing tomorrow.
495
00:28:46,533 --> 00:28:49,135
I promise you, I'm ready.
496
00:29:00,314 --> 00:29:03,184
So what are you gonna do?
I'll find something.
497
00:29:03,250 --> 00:29:05,519
You know me.
I always land on my feet.
498
00:29:05,586 --> 00:29:07,421
Jimmy, what are you gonna do?
499
00:29:09,256 --> 00:29:11,692
I don't know.
You'll come work with us.
500
00:29:11,758 --> 00:29:14,661
What? Our tobacco
case is heating up,
501
00:29:14,728 --> 00:29:16,597
and we need
all the hands we can get.
502
00:29:16,663 --> 00:29:19,600
You can't afford to pay you. How
do you pay me? I'll work it out.
503
00:29:19,666 --> 00:29:23,437
You need therapy. You know that.
Look, just say yes or no.
504
00:29:23,504 --> 00:29:26,173
You keep digging yourself deeper.
You say you'll work it out.
505
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,409
This is gonna be
on your tombstone...
506
00:29:28,475 --> 00:29:30,888
"He tried to work it out." Now
we're lookin' at your tombstone.
507
00:29:30,912 --> 00:29:34,616
If you hang a shingle with me, you'll
at least have an office to come to.
508
00:29:34,682 --> 00:29:38,486
You could pick up some court appointments,
hustle up some contingencies...
509
00:29:38,553 --> 00:29:41,289
And what about the others?
How they gonna feel?
510
00:29:41,356 --> 00:29:44,326
Not collecting regular
paychecks, then in comes me.
511
00:29:44,392 --> 00:29:47,095
How they gonna feel about that?
512
00:29:47,162 --> 00:29:49,031
Look.
513
00:29:49,097 --> 00:29:52,900
You're where you are 'cause...
514
00:29:52,968 --> 00:29:55,303
'cause you helped me.
515
00:29:57,873 --> 00:30:00,208
It's time for me to help you.
516
00:30:03,278 --> 00:30:05,280
I could stand here
and talk about...
517
00:30:05,347 --> 00:30:08,150
how there's no evidence
of money changing hands.
518
00:30:08,216 --> 00:30:12,454
No evidence of culpable intent,
with respect to my client.
519
00:30:14,289 --> 00:30:16,769
Was he foolish to think that a
prostitute was smitten with him?
520
00:30:16,825 --> 00:30:18,594
Of course he was.
This isn't a stable man.
521
00:30:18,661 --> 00:30:22,230
I don't need to convince you of that.
He's a flasher.
522
00:30:22,298 --> 00:30:25,401
They didn't make
the elements here.
523
00:30:25,468 --> 00:30:28,204
I could sit down right now and you'd
have to come back not guilty,
524
00:30:28,271 --> 00:30:30,306
but I'm gonna stay up here
just a little longer,
525
00:30:30,373 --> 00:30:32,333
'cause I wanna talk to you
about something else...
526
00:30:32,375 --> 00:30:36,479
Something called
the United States of America.
527
00:30:38,681 --> 00:30:41,885
Big Brother police saw Mr.
Holsten walk away with Sheila.
528
00:30:44,020 --> 00:30:47,957
Mr. Holsten. Gee.
529
00:30:48,024 --> 00:30:51,360
Look at him. Overweight.
530
00:30:51,427 --> 00:30:53,462
He would just have to pay
for sex, wouldn't he?
531
00:30:53,530 --> 00:30:55,599
What woman would want
to be with him?
532
00:30:55,665 --> 00:30:58,835
It must be prostitution. "Let's follow
them. Then we'll bust the door down.
533
00:30:58,902 --> 00:31:01,371
"We can do that and get away with it.
You know why?
534
00:31:01,438 --> 00:31:03,773
'Cause we don't like
the way they look."
535
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,943
And when they charged into that room and
saw my client handcuffed to a dwarf,
536
00:31:07,010 --> 00:31:10,280
well, it just had to be
something kinky.
537
00:31:11,448 --> 00:31:13,283
But you know what?
538
00:31:13,350 --> 00:31:15,552
I believe you need evidence.
539
00:31:15,619 --> 00:31:17,921
Times are changing.
540
00:31:17,988 --> 00:31:20,757
We are, in fact,
becoming a more tolerant nation.
541
00:31:20,824 --> 00:31:23,093
We are, in fact,
becoming a land...
542
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,930
where people do not
prejudge on looks alone.
543
00:31:25,996 --> 00:31:27,965
You're three
and a half feet tall?
544
00:31:28,032 --> 00:31:30,200
You're still worth
the presumption of dignity.
545
00:31:30,267 --> 00:31:32,345
You have a sickness...
A record of exposing yourself.
546
00:31:32,369 --> 00:31:34,805
We will not
automatically conclude...
547
00:31:34,872 --> 00:31:36,741
that everything you do
is illegal.
548
00:31:36,807 --> 00:31:41,912
This... This is
the United States of America,
549
00:31:41,979 --> 00:31:45,082
and this is the land where people
go back into that jury box...
550
00:31:45,149 --> 00:31:48,653
and say, "Prove it.
Prove the crime.
551
00:31:48,719 --> 00:31:50,988
"Don't you dare put a person's
deviances on display...
552
00:31:51,055 --> 00:31:55,793
"and expect us to rush to the automatic
conclusion that the crime was committed.
553
00:31:55,860 --> 00:31:57,895
You prove it."
554
00:31:57,962 --> 00:32:00,098
They didn't.
555
00:32:00,165 --> 00:32:02,600
Oh, they put on a great
sideshow, but no proof.
556
00:32:02,667 --> 00:32:05,536
This isn't an arena of innuendo,
ladies and gentlemen.
557
00:32:05,603 --> 00:32:08,439
This isn't a forum
of foregone conclusions.
558
00:32:08,506 --> 00:32:13,779
This is a courtroom
in the United States of America,
559
00:32:13,845 --> 00:32:16,047
and in this room...
560
00:32:16,114 --> 00:32:19,250
even when the defendants
are the disenfranchised...
561
00:32:19,317 --> 00:32:23,722
you've still got to prove
the elements of the crime.
562
00:32:29,595 --> 00:32:31,730
They didn't.
563
00:32:35,066 --> 00:32:36,735
Uh, Mr. Frazier?
564
00:32:40,172 --> 00:32:42,908
A known prostitute...
565
00:32:42,975 --> 00:32:46,913
quotes a convicted flasher
a price of $300.
566
00:32:46,979 --> 00:32:49,415
They are found
minutes later, naked...
567
00:32:49,481 --> 00:32:52,084
in her bed.
568
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,990
Without passing comment
on the dwarf,
569
00:32:58,057 --> 00:33:00,326
I would just like to say,
570
00:33:00,392 --> 00:33:04,130
"Ask not what your country
can do for you.
571
00:33:04,196 --> 00:33:06,833
"Ask what you can do...
572
00:33:06,899 --> 00:33:08,835
for your country."
573
00:33:08,901 --> 00:33:11,338
And then, maybe,
574
00:33:11,404 --> 00:33:15,742
we can all build a bridge
to the 21st century.
575
00:33:20,813 --> 00:33:22,615
Are you threatening me?
576
00:33:22,682 --> 00:33:25,318
I'm simply saying, given
this liaison between you...
577
00:33:25,385 --> 00:33:27,487
and an associate
at Finley Hogue...
578
00:33:27,554 --> 00:33:30,123
Who the hell do you think you are?
This is blatant extortion.
579
00:33:30,190 --> 00:33:34,761
If I wanted it to be blatant, I'd do it
in open court. Would you prefer that?
580
00:33:34,828 --> 00:33:36,797
Got a wife, Judge? Kids?
581
00:33:36,864 --> 00:33:39,733
Why don't you fine me
50 bucks for saying that?
582
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,569
- Is this the way you practice law?
- If I have to.
583
00:33:42,636 --> 00:33:44,805
I think you better rethink
how you operate, counsel.
584
00:33:44,872 --> 00:33:47,383
Look, I don't know whether this
relationship makes you biased or not.
585
00:33:47,407 --> 00:33:49,910
I'll give you the benefit of
the doubt and say it doesn't,
586
00:33:49,977 --> 00:33:53,581
but there is definitely some favorable
treatment going Pearson's way...
587
00:33:53,647 --> 00:33:55,983
Intentional or not, I don't know.
I don't care.
588
00:33:56,049 --> 00:33:58,486
I don't like it,
and I don't like you.
589
00:33:58,552 --> 00:34:01,689
Nobody but nobody comes in
this room and strong-arms me.
590
00:34:01,755 --> 00:34:05,226
Fine. Let's just say you came
to this decision on your own.
591
00:34:05,293 --> 00:34:09,097
Emerson Ray got screwed once
by the tobacco industry.
592
00:34:09,163 --> 00:34:12,333
I won't let him
get screwed by you.
593
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,871
So get off this case.
594
00:34:34,823 --> 00:34:36,725
What's the matter?
595
00:34:37,792 --> 00:34:39,661
Nothin'.
596
00:34:45,234 --> 00:34:48,137
I don't know if I can hold this
place together anymore, Beck.
597
00:34:48,203 --> 00:34:50,905
You'll work it out.
598
00:34:50,972 --> 00:34:54,443
I'm not sure we'll get by summary
judgment on the tobacco case,
599
00:34:54,509 --> 00:34:57,012
and if Donna Braun's killer
gets off on insanity,
600
00:34:57,079 --> 00:34:59,181
our wrongful death claim
gets wobbled.
601
00:34:59,248 --> 00:35:01,150
Different standard of proof.
602
00:35:01,216 --> 00:35:06,188
Even so, I borrowed on the
tobacco case with Jimmy's bank.
603
00:35:06,255 --> 00:35:09,725
Costs. Everything else.
We'll probably lose money.
604
00:35:09,792 --> 00:35:11,694
And...
605
00:35:12,895 --> 00:35:14,764
I just hired Jimmy...
606
00:35:14,830 --> 00:35:17,266
to come work here
'cause he got fired...
607
00:35:17,332 --> 00:35:20,235
for making that loan.
608
00:35:27,243 --> 00:35:32,682
Oh. This wasn't exactly
our plan, was it?
609
00:35:35,285 --> 00:35:38,254
Ten years ago
we moved into this office...
610
00:35:39,255 --> 00:35:44,961
You, me,
typewriter and big dreams.
611
00:35:49,933 --> 00:35:52,669
- Still got
the typewriter, anyway.
612
00:35:55,305 --> 00:35:57,808
And you still got me.
613
00:36:00,877 --> 00:36:04,214
- Yeah.
- And you still got your big dreams.
614
00:36:08,051 --> 00:36:09,920
You'll work it out, Bobby.
615
00:36:15,492 --> 00:36:18,395
A hung jury...
616
00:36:18,462 --> 00:36:21,999
That's fate. For me to
get a jury that's hung?
617
00:36:22,066 --> 00:36:24,668
Don't you think?
Look.
618
00:36:24,735 --> 00:36:26,670
The D.A. says
he's prepared to retry.
619
00:36:26,737 --> 00:36:28,773
If that happens
after Sheila's trial,
620
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:30,942
and if she's convicted,
he'll have a better hand.
621
00:36:31,008 --> 00:36:34,178
He might even deal her sentence a little
to get her to testify against you.
622
00:36:34,245 --> 00:36:37,982
So you'll cross-examine. Prior
inconsistent statements.
623
00:36:39,917 --> 00:36:43,020
Let's plead guilty. A month's suspended
sentence... It doesn't mean anything.
624
00:36:43,087 --> 00:36:44,956
You already got a record.
625
00:36:46,290 --> 00:36:48,326
I don't want to go
to any sex clinic.
626
00:36:48,393 --> 00:36:52,897
If that's part of the deal... Mr.
Holsten, listen to me for a second.
627
00:36:57,034 --> 00:36:59,771
Look at me.
628
00:37:02,174 --> 00:37:04,609
So far you ain't
made it in life.
629
00:37:04,676 --> 00:37:07,012
Me... Seven years a lawyer,
630
00:37:07,079 --> 00:37:09,915
and I'm still representing guys who
walk around dropping their pants.
631
00:37:09,982 --> 00:37:13,551
That tells me I got some
movin' up to do too.
632
00:37:13,618 --> 00:37:16,388
I like to look for victories
where I can find 'em.
633
00:37:16,454 --> 00:37:18,456
This case here,
my little victory...
634
00:37:18,523 --> 00:37:20,759
will be getting a sick guy
to go for some help.
635
00:37:20,826 --> 00:37:24,630
If I can feel part of getting
a man to face a problem...
636
00:37:24,697 --> 00:37:27,800
An illness...
That would be something.
637
00:37:27,866 --> 00:37:29,935
So I'm asking you.
638
00:37:30,002 --> 00:37:32,938
If you don't want to do anything
for yourself, then do it for me.
639
00:37:36,742 --> 00:37:38,677
How long?
640
00:37:39,912 --> 00:37:42,014
Two months.
641
00:37:42,081 --> 00:37:44,583
Inpatient.
642
00:37:46,752 --> 00:37:48,922
Please.
643
00:37:51,825 --> 00:37:53,793
Okay.
644
00:37:57,163 --> 00:37:59,065
For the last six weeks,
645
00:37:59,132 --> 00:38:02,035
you have heard doctor after
doctor talk about Ronald Martin...
646
00:38:02,101 --> 00:38:05,572
How he was temporarily insane,
how he wasn't responsible.
647
00:38:05,639 --> 00:38:09,509
He's this. He's that.
He's here.
648
00:38:11,545 --> 00:38:13,980
Nobody talks about Donna Braun.
649
00:38:14,047 --> 00:38:16,483
She's no longer part of
our reality, is she?
650
00:38:16,550 --> 00:38:19,386
She doesn't get to sit here,
day after day,
651
00:38:19,453 --> 00:38:21,855
looking... human.
652
00:38:21,921 --> 00:38:23,990
She's past tense,
653
00:38:24,057 --> 00:38:27,027
and every day she becomes a little
more gone, a little more forgotten,
654
00:38:27,094 --> 00:38:31,765
until one day,
she doesn't exist at all.
655
00:38:31,831 --> 00:38:35,402
And all you take back
into that jury room with you...
656
00:38:35,469 --> 00:38:38,739
is him... Ronald Martin.
657
00:38:40,674 --> 00:38:44,211
That man right there
with the sad face.
658
00:38:44,278 --> 00:38:46,847
Man with a priest
sitting behind him.
659
00:38:46,914 --> 00:38:51,251
The man who all the psychiatric
experts said such nice things about.
660
00:38:51,318 --> 00:38:55,790
But also the man who strangled
Donna Braun for seven minutes.
661
00:38:55,856 --> 00:38:59,294
This was not
a snap flash of anger.
662
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,831
He choked her for seven minutes.
663
00:39:03,898 --> 00:39:05,833
He kept squeezing
and squeezing...
664
00:39:05,900 --> 00:39:07,835
until her eyes
bulged out of her sockets,
665
00:39:07,902 --> 00:39:11,939
until there was
no life left in her.
666
00:39:12,007 --> 00:39:15,776
That's how he left her as he drove off
to the church to beg forgiveness.
667
00:39:18,546 --> 00:39:23,919
Now, Mr. Goode implores you to
protect the American justice system.
668
00:39:23,985 --> 00:39:26,554
What is that system?
669
00:39:26,622 --> 00:39:29,024
Where rich people
buy acquittals?
670
00:39:29,090 --> 00:39:32,460
Where, if you have enough money,
you're entitled to one free murder?
671
00:39:32,528 --> 00:39:35,096
Well, we need to know
that's not our system.
672
00:39:35,163 --> 00:39:37,433
They need to know.
673
00:39:38,467 --> 00:39:41,102
They lost their daughter...
674
00:39:41,169 --> 00:39:43,104
Their only daughter.
675
00:39:43,171 --> 00:39:47,643
They need to hear you say that
is not our system of justice.
676
00:39:47,709 --> 00:39:50,512
We all need to hear that.
677
00:39:55,151 --> 00:39:58,888
Mr. Pearson, I'll hear from you.
Thank you, Your Honor.
678
00:39:58,955 --> 00:40:04,660
I'm Anderson Pearson, representing
the respondent, T.L. Michaels,
679
00:40:04,726 --> 00:40:09,365
and pursuant to rule 56 of the
Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure,
680
00:40:09,431 --> 00:40:13,435
we submit the plaintiff's
claim... I'm sorry, Your Honor.
681
00:40:13,502 --> 00:40:16,806
Forgive me.
I'm a little confused.
682
00:40:16,873 --> 00:40:19,642
According to your clerk's notice,
we were to hear... What is it?
683
00:40:19,709 --> 00:40:22,645
"Any and all discovery
or pretrial matters...
684
00:40:22,712 --> 00:40:24,781
before oral arguments
on summary judgment."
685
00:40:24,847 --> 00:40:28,117
- There are no other matters.
- Well, actually,
686
00:40:28,185 --> 00:40:32,255
there is one other
nagging little matter.
687
00:40:43,500 --> 00:40:49,039
I've decided to dispense with
oral arguments, Mr. Pearson.
688
00:40:49,106 --> 00:40:52,976
I find there to be several obvious
disputes of material fact in this case.
689
00:40:53,043 --> 00:40:56,947
Defendant's motion for summary
judgment is hereby denied.
690
00:40:57,014 --> 00:40:58,949
Ruling in favor
of the plaintiff.
691
00:40:59,016 --> 00:41:02,152
Moreover, I recuse myself
from this case.
692
00:41:02,219 --> 00:41:06,023
Another judge will be assigned.
Adjourned.
693
00:41:09,460 --> 00:41:11,562
So what happens now?
694
00:41:11,629 --> 00:41:13,469
What happens now is,
we get our day in court...
695
00:41:13,531 --> 00:41:15,566
With a jury.
696
00:41:15,633 --> 00:41:18,136
We are in the fight.
We are in the fight.
697
00:41:23,807 --> 00:41:26,077
Oh.
698
00:41:26,144 --> 00:41:28,780
Quite pleased, are we?
699
00:41:28,847 --> 00:41:32,150
- What was all that, Lindsay?
- The beginning, Professor.
700
00:41:32,216 --> 00:41:37,155
- Do you know what you're in for?
- I think so. Do you?
701
00:41:52,003 --> 00:41:54,906
Hey, Jimmy.
Eugene Young.
702
00:41:54,973 --> 00:41:57,742
Don't know that we've
officially met.
703
00:41:59,311 --> 00:42:02,047
Welcome.
Thanks.
704
00:42:02,114 --> 00:42:05,050
- Heard a lot about you.
- We're very excited.
705
00:42:05,117 --> 00:42:08,954
You need anything supply-wise, just let me
know. I already got your phone line set up.
706
00:42:09,021 --> 00:42:11,190
Oh, great.
Well, I don't need much.
707
00:42:11,256 --> 00:42:13,926
A pad of paper and
somebody to sue, you know?
708
00:42:17,529 --> 00:42:20,132
Listen, uh, thanks for this.
709
00:42:20,199 --> 00:42:23,135
I know it couldn't have been good
news, bringing in another body...
710
00:42:23,202 --> 00:42:26,939
Especially mine... but, uh, this
is gonna be a big year for me.
711
00:42:27,006 --> 00:42:30,610
I promise.
I'm gonna win a case.
712
00:42:32,177 --> 00:42:34,414
We have no doubt.
713
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,382
Thanks.
714
00:42:38,117 --> 00:42:41,086
The judge will instruct on Monday,
then it's up to the jury.
715
00:42:41,154 --> 00:42:43,689
Any progress finding
the old girlfriend?
716
00:42:43,756 --> 00:42:47,127
No. We're running out of time.
717
00:42:47,193 --> 00:42:50,530
Miss Bork? Thank you
for your words.
718
00:42:50,596 --> 00:42:53,266
I hope the jury listened.
So do we.
719
00:42:54,734 --> 00:42:57,103
It's almost over.
Yes.
720
00:42:59,105 --> 00:43:01,307
Part of me is glad for that.
721
00:43:01,374 --> 00:43:03,844
Another part...
722
00:43:03,910 --> 00:43:06,647
I wonder what we're going
to do when it is over.
723
00:43:13,820 --> 00:43:15,856
I'll see you.
Yeah.
724
00:43:21,495 --> 00:43:23,497
Lindsay.
725
00:43:23,564 --> 00:43:26,200
Uh, the tobacco case...
726
00:43:26,267 --> 00:43:28,835
I want you to try it.
727
00:43:30,004 --> 00:43:32,506
I think you're more
prepared on it than me.
728
00:43:32,573 --> 00:43:36,077
Bobby, I... I've never even
done a jury trial before.
729
00:43:36,143 --> 00:43:38,079
Are you sure?
730
00:43:38,145 --> 00:43:40,948
You've done all the discovery.
I think you're ready.
731
00:43:42,917 --> 00:43:46,553
- You think you can do it?
- Uh...
732
00:43:46,621 --> 00:43:48,623
Sure.
Tell me if you can't.
733
00:43:48,690 --> 00:43:51,158
You don't have
to be a hero here.
734
00:43:52,393 --> 00:43:54,295
I can do it.
735
00:44:00,034 --> 00:44:01,869
Okay.
736
00:44:02,804 --> 00:44:04,906
Let's go.
737
00:44:20,989 --> 00:44:22,958
Next onThe Practice.
738
00:44:23,025 --> 00:44:26,695
Ex-girlfriend of Ronald Martin, and he
beat the hell out of her for two years.
739
00:44:26,762 --> 00:44:28,172
Eugene, the jury
is already deliberating.
740
00:44:28,196 --> 00:44:31,333
If you drag the jury
back in here...
741
00:44:31,399 --> 00:44:33,936
and tell them, "By the way, we
have discovered a new witness.
742
00:44:34,002 --> 00:44:37,406
It's a woman that Ronald Martin tried
to strangle," we might as well...
743
00:44:37,473 --> 00:44:39,241
save time and declare
a mistrial right now.
744
00:44:39,307 --> 00:44:41,176
The jury is free
to disregard the witness.
745
00:44:41,243 --> 00:44:44,146
That's your specialty... convincing
people to ignore the truth.
746
00:44:44,212 --> 00:44:46,649
Look, we can't match experts
with the tobacco industry.
747
00:44:46,715 --> 00:44:49,528
If we parade up scientists on addiction
or dopamine or whatever, we lose,
748
00:44:49,552 --> 00:44:51,587
'cause whatever guns we got,
they got bigger ones.
749
00:44:51,654 --> 00:44:54,357
We don't have the experts because
we couldn't afford to hire any.
750
00:44:54,423 --> 00:44:58,794
We don't have the-the science on addiction
because we didn't do the legwork.
751
00:44:58,861 --> 00:45:02,031
We're going with nothing because
that's what we have. Nothing.
752
00:45:02,098 --> 00:45:04,109
You're throwing me this case
not because of any confidence,
753
00:45:04,133 --> 00:45:06,235
but because you don't want
to take the fall.
754
00:45:06,297 --> 00:45:09,397
- Mr. Donnell?
- Ready for trial, Your Honor.
755
00:45:09,464 --> 00:45:12,430
Mr. Pearson?
Ready for trial, Your Honor.
756
00:45:12,497 --> 00:45:14,264
Let's bring in the jury.
757
00:45:40,564 --> 00:45:42,230
You stinker!
