00:00:15,615 --> 00:00:18,351
(gavel knocking)
2
00:00:21,588 --> 00:00:23,757
- Let me go. She needs me.
3
00:00:24,791 --> 00:00:25,625
Let me go.
4
00:00:27,327 --> 00:00:29,329
(cries)
5
00:00:39,672 --> 00:00:41,841
- Well look who it is.
6
00:00:41,908 --> 00:00:45,078
A man smart enough to end up in
cuffs.
7
00:00:46,246 --> 00:00:48,381
- How do you keep it all
together?
8
00:00:48,448 --> 00:00:49,249
Hm.
9
00:00:50,383 --> 00:00:53,853
Everything falling apart in your
life and
10
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,422
still you believe.
11
00:00:57,390 --> 00:01:00,660
(light dramatic music)
12
00:02:04,224 --> 00:02:05,492
(motorcycle turns off)
13
00:02:05,558 --> 00:02:09,062
("All I Got" by Jon Blaq)
14
00:02:19,739 --> 00:02:23,343
(kids talking in distance)
15
00:02:31,885 --> 00:02:32,886
- Nice shot.
16
00:02:38,825 --> 00:02:42,228
Composure, you gotta keep that
composure.
17
00:02:45,665 --> 00:02:47,834
Come on, Rob, what are you gonna
do?
18
00:02:47,901 --> 00:02:49,736
What are you gonna do?
19
00:02:51,171 --> 00:02:52,405
Come on guys.
20
00:02:52,472 --> 00:02:54,007
You have to know when to
take it hard to the hole,
21
00:02:54,073 --> 00:02:55,542
or when to pull up and shoot.
22
00:02:55,608 --> 00:02:57,110
A player that doesn't know
that is not gonna play
23
00:02:57,177 --> 00:02:58,444
this game long.
24
00:02:59,679 --> 00:03:01,214
When you leave the court
at that final buzzer,
25
00:03:01,281 --> 00:03:02,815
you better be able to
look me in the eye and say
26
00:03:02,882 --> 00:03:04,217
that you give it all.
27
00:03:04,284 --> 00:03:07,520
All you had, is left on the
floor.
28
00:03:07,587 --> 00:03:09,122
Give us strength to fight,
29
00:03:09,189 --> 00:03:12,959
to the last man to the
last play to the last bell
30
00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:13,793
we fight.
31
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:14,961
- [All] We fight.
32
00:03:15,028 --> 00:03:16,129
- [Coach] We fight.
- [All] We fight.
33
00:03:16,195 --> 00:03:17,297
- [Coach] We fight.
- [All] We fight.
34
00:03:17,363 --> 00:03:18,464
- [Coach] We fight.
- [All] We fight.
35
00:03:18,531 --> 00:03:19,632
- [Coach] We fight.
- [All] We fight.
36
00:03:19,699 --> 00:03:20,800
- [Coach] We fight.
- [All] We fight.
37
00:03:20,867 --> 00:03:21,968
- [Coach] We fight.
- [All] We fight.
38
00:03:22,035 --> 00:03:23,136
- [Coach] We fight.
- [All] We fight.
39
00:03:23,202 --> 00:03:24,103
- [Coach] We fight.
- [All] We fight.
40
00:03:24,170 --> 00:03:24,871
- [Coach] Amen.
- [All] Amen.
41
00:03:24,938 --> 00:03:26,539
(cheers and clapping)
42
00:03:26,606 --> 00:03:29,776

43
00:03:42,055 --> 00:03:44,891

00:03:47,994 --> 00:03:49,896

45
00:03:58,404 --> 00:04:01,207
(change jingling)
46
00:04:01,274 --> 00:04:03,876
(sighs deeply)
47
00:04:08,481 --> 00:04:10,984
- I'll catch up with you.
- [Girl] Bye.
48
00:04:11,050 --> 00:04:11,818
- Hey coach.
49
00:04:11,884 --> 00:04:13,219
- What's up man?
50
00:04:16,923 --> 00:04:17,957
What's going on?
51
00:04:18,024 --> 00:04:19,325
What, you want me to walk you to
class?
52
00:04:19,392 --> 00:04:21,060
What's on your mind?
53
00:04:22,862 --> 00:04:24,030
- It's my dad.
54
00:04:25,131 --> 00:04:26,132
He's a punk.
55
00:04:27,934 --> 00:04:28,768
Sometimes,
56
00:04:31,237 --> 00:04:34,974
sometimes I just want
to punch him, you know?
57
00:04:35,041 --> 00:04:36,042
He's just...
58
00:04:37,277 --> 00:04:38,344
He's so sick.
59
00:04:40,046 --> 00:04:41,447
- Sick how, man.
60
00:04:41,514 --> 00:04:44,284
(dramatic music)
61
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:48,154
- Kurt.
62
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:53,259
(door slides)
63
00:04:54,861 --> 00:04:55,695
Sit down.
64
00:04:57,864 --> 00:04:59,932
I'm just thinking to myself,
when was the last time
65
00:04:59,999 --> 00:05:02,969
that we had a father son chat?
66
00:05:03,036 --> 00:05:04,671
- I can't recall, sir.
67
00:05:04,737 --> 00:05:06,072
- Neither can I.
68
00:05:10,576 --> 00:05:12,011
So, how's school?
69
00:05:14,747 --> 00:05:16,416
- It's good I guess.
70
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,458
- Girlfriend?
71
00:05:27,493 --> 00:05:28,461
- No.
72
00:05:28,528 --> 00:05:30,096
- No?
73
00:05:30,163 --> 00:05:31,330
Boyfriend?
74
00:05:31,397 --> 00:05:32,832
- What? No.
75
00:05:32,899 --> 00:05:34,600
Any other questions, sir.
76
00:05:34,667 --> 00:05:35,835
- Kurt, relax.
77
00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:39,305
I'm just making sure that I know
my son.
78
00:05:39,372 --> 00:05:41,808
You know they say that
teenagers change, so I'm just
79
00:05:41,874 --> 00:05:45,812
determining the level of your
adjustment.
80
00:05:45,878 --> 00:05:49,415
- What do you even know about
us?
81
00:05:49,482 --> 00:05:51,050
- You can stop with the
histrionics.
82
00:05:51,117 --> 00:05:53,720
- Do you know your wife
calls her friends cry--
83
00:05:53,786 --> 00:05:55,354
- That's enough.
84
00:05:55,421 --> 00:05:57,590
- [Voiceover] Stop it Jim.
85
00:06:10,369 --> 00:06:12,105
- He did that to you?
86
00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:14,907
- I didn't say that. I just--
87
00:06:14,974 --> 00:06:16,109
- Well what did you say?
88
00:06:16,175 --> 00:06:18,177
You better say something, what?
89
00:06:18,244 --> 00:06:20,012
- Never mind. Just...
90
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:23,282
I tripped whatever, you know.
91
00:06:23,349 --> 00:06:25,752
He was yelling, I got scared.
92
00:06:30,323 --> 00:06:31,157
- Um.
93
00:06:35,561 --> 00:06:37,163
Listen, listen man.
94
00:06:40,266 --> 00:06:42,201
Relationships with our parents
can be very
95
00:06:42,268 --> 00:06:44,303
complicated, okay?
96
00:06:44,370 --> 00:06:47,573
They can be very very
complicated.
97
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,110
We want to protect them
a lot of the time because
98
00:06:51,177 --> 00:06:52,845
they protected us right?
99
00:06:52,912 --> 00:06:55,515
But there comes a time when
a parent can do something
100
00:06:55,581 --> 00:06:57,250
that's gonna cause you to,
101
00:06:57,316 --> 00:07:00,153
to not see them for over 20
years.
102
00:07:02,121 --> 00:07:04,290
That's, you know, tragedy.
103
00:07:05,491 --> 00:07:08,494
It hurts, a lot, but it does
happen.
104
00:07:12,165 --> 00:07:13,900
All I'm saying is that you know,
there
105
00:07:13,966 --> 00:07:15,468
can be a time when
106
00:07:17,103 --> 00:07:19,839
you shouldn't protect them.
107
00:07:19,906 --> 00:07:21,507
- Coach, he's a judge,
what am I supposed to do,
108
00:07:21,574 --> 00:07:23,009
call the cops?
109
00:07:23,075 --> 00:07:26,846
- I would suggest that you
pray to know what to do.
110
00:07:26,913 --> 00:07:28,414
- I don't know how to pray.
111
00:07:28,481 --> 00:07:32,652
Can you help me get the
conversation started or
something?
112
00:07:36,355 --> 00:07:39,025
(clears throat)
113
00:07:40,126 --> 00:07:42,962
(distant praying)
114
00:08:10,056 --> 00:08:14,060
- Mr. Paul, this is Judge
Rogers, Kurt's father.
115
00:08:14,927 --> 00:08:17,263
- Pleasure to meet you, sir.
116
00:08:21,701 --> 00:08:22,735
What happened, Kurt, you been--
117
00:08:22,802 --> 00:08:24,437
- Judge Rogers was in my office
today
118
00:08:24,503 --> 00:08:26,506
before I finished lunch.
119
00:08:27,540 --> 00:08:28,908
- You pervert.
120
00:08:28,975 --> 00:08:31,377
If I find out you laid a hand on
my son.
121
00:08:31,444 --> 00:08:33,946
- Dude, are you serious right
now?
122
00:08:34,013 --> 00:08:38,184
- You do understand that praying
is against school policy?
123
00:08:41,821 --> 00:08:43,489
- I know the policy.
124
00:08:46,893 --> 00:08:49,829
- You people use religious
coercion and propaganda to
125
00:08:49,896 --> 00:08:51,998
brainwash kids like my boy.
126
00:08:52,064 --> 00:08:54,567
I presided over three cases
where so called Preachers
127
00:08:54,634 --> 00:08:56,168
were praying.
128
00:08:56,235 --> 00:08:57,036
- Dad, you're tripping.
129
00:08:57,103 --> 00:08:57,937
- Shut up!
130
00:09:06,012 --> 00:09:08,547
Don't use that kind of language
with me.
131
00:09:08,614 --> 00:09:11,150
I never should have
brought you to this school.
132
00:09:11,217 --> 00:09:12,785
God does not exist.
133
00:09:13,886 --> 00:09:17,790
And no so called coach is
gonna change that fact.
134
00:09:17,857 --> 00:09:19,425
- Well maybe he doesn't exist,
135
00:09:19,492 --> 00:09:21,494
because if he did exist,
136
00:09:23,896 --> 00:09:27,733
he wouldn't have made you such a
jerk.
137
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:28,834
- [Principal] Aiden, stop!
138
00:09:28,901 --> 00:09:30,503
Stop!
139
00:09:30,569 --> 00:09:34,040
Clean out your office, get out
of here.
140
00:09:34,106 --> 00:09:35,641
(glass clattering)
141
00:09:35,708 --> 00:09:36,609
Get out of here, Aiden,
142
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:37,510
get out of here.
143
00:09:37,576 --> 00:09:38,844
- What are you talking about?
144
00:09:38,911 --> 00:09:39,946
What are you doing?
- [Principal] You're fired!
145
00:09:40,012 --> 00:09:41,781
You're fired.
- [Aiden] I'm fired?
146
00:09:41,847 --> 00:09:44,584
For what?
- [Principal] Go!
147
00:09:44,650 --> 00:09:45,885
Get out of my school.
148
00:09:45,952 --> 00:09:46,986
- I didn't do anything, Mr.
Patterson.
149
00:09:47,053 --> 00:09:48,421
- You did. Go.
150
00:09:48,487 --> 00:09:51,791
- Mr. Patterson, those
are my boys that I coach.
151
00:09:51,857 --> 00:09:53,759
- Those were your boys.
152
00:09:54,694 --> 00:09:55,461
- Mr.--
153
00:09:55,528 --> 00:09:57,530
- [Principal] It's done.
154
00:09:59,065 --> 00:10:00,232
I'm sorry, go.
155
00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:02,335
- Mr...
156
00:10:03,402 --> 00:10:04,570
- Go, go home.
157
00:10:05,771 --> 00:10:07,440
It's time, go home.
158
00:10:07,506 --> 00:10:08,341
Go home.
159
00:10:13,346 --> 00:10:16,082
(dramatic music)
160
00:10:30,396 --> 00:10:33,833
("Miracles" by Mz. Nonz)
161
00:10:57,123 --> 00:11:00,059
(light chattering)
162
00:11:03,195 --> 00:11:04,964
- Alright, listen up.
163
00:11:05,865 --> 00:11:08,100
I've got some bad news.
164
00:11:08,167 --> 00:11:10,670
Coach Paul's been terminated
165
00:11:10,736 --> 00:11:13,072
and he's not gonna coach
tonight (disgruntled shouting)
166
00:11:13,139 --> 00:11:14,373
nor any further.
167
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:15,975
(lockers slam and shouting)
168
00:11:16,042 --> 00:11:18,611
I'll have my starting five at
tip off.
169
00:11:18,677 --> 00:11:20,279
Everybody be ready.
170
00:11:20,346 --> 00:11:23,249
(lockers slamming)
171
00:11:24,684 --> 00:11:27,186
- [Voiceover] Are you serious?
172
00:11:31,690 --> 00:11:34,193
(bell chimes)
173
00:11:44,370 --> 00:11:46,705
(machine beeps)
174
00:11:46,772 --> 00:11:50,242
- [Voiceover] Hey lawyer,
who doesn't answer the phone.
175
00:11:50,309 --> 00:11:51,677
Calling to let you know
that we're not doing
176
00:11:51,744 --> 00:11:53,913
business with you anymore.
177
00:11:54,947 --> 00:11:57,283
Your line's closed,
178
00:11:57,349 --> 00:12:00,252
and you need to get out of
this thing before you end
179
00:12:00,319 --> 00:12:01,654
up getting hurt.
180
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,196
- Everybody's sweating bullets.
181
00:12:10,262 --> 00:12:13,432

00:12:13,499 --> 00:12:14,633

00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:17,002
it looked like two different
people.
184
00:12:17,069 --> 00:12:19,638
(laughter)
185
00:12:19,705 --> 00:12:23,709
I'm telling you, I would've
been so embarrassed.
186
00:12:24,710 --> 00:12:26,112
- [Man] Oh my God.
187
00:12:26,178 --> 00:12:29,548
- Miss Lilly, on a church
Sunday,
188
00:12:29,615 --> 00:12:31,951
fell out with a heat stroke.
189
00:12:33,119 --> 00:12:35,654
Roll it went up over her head.
(laughter)
190
00:12:35,721 --> 00:12:37,623
It was so embarrassing.
191
00:12:39,458 --> 00:12:40,860
Oh, Lord, I mean,
192
00:12:42,628 --> 00:12:46,799
it is so hot and we can't
get a drop from the sky.
193
00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:49,668
- It hasn't been this bad for
years.
194
00:12:49,735 --> 00:12:51,170
- It really hasn't.
195
00:12:51,237 --> 00:12:54,206
I mean, I can't remember when
we had a drought like this.
196
00:12:54,273 --> 00:12:55,107
It was...
197
00:12:56,509 --> 00:12:57,343
Oh...
198
00:12:58,511 --> 00:12:59,378
- [Man] What?
199
00:12:59,445 --> 00:13:01,347
- You know when it was?
200
00:13:02,348 --> 00:13:05,417
That summer I found out I had a
twin.
201
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:10,523
And I would sit under that
big old live oak tree.
202
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:14,226
I said, "God you just saving
your tears until I find
203
00:13:14,293 --> 00:13:16,862
my baby brother and then
you going rain down those
204
00:13:16,929 --> 00:13:18,764
cool tears of joy. (laughs)
205
00:13:18,831 --> 00:13:20,766
Baby brother, shoot.
206
00:13:20,833 --> 00:13:22,001
Dog gone it.
207
00:13:22,067 --> 00:13:24,236
- Well you are five minutes
older than me.
208
00:13:24,303 --> 00:13:25,104
- Well how do you know?
209
00:13:25,171 --> 00:13:26,605
I'm gonna check the records.
210
00:13:26,672 --> 00:13:29,208
You better stop talking
that older sister stuff,
211
00:13:29,275 --> 00:13:30,509
thank you, Bill.
212
00:13:30,576 --> 00:13:34,180
- We found out we liked
the same flavor ice cream.
213
00:13:34,246 --> 00:13:36,015
- I know, it's crazy.
214
00:13:37,082 --> 00:13:38,017
Both hate okra.
215
00:13:38,083 --> 00:13:39,518
- Oh you know it's true.
216
00:13:39,585 --> 00:13:40,853
Can't stand it.
217
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,155
(laughter)
218
00:13:44,990 --> 00:13:45,925
- Hm mm mm.
219
00:13:51,730 --> 00:13:52,565
Hmm.
220
00:13:56,068 --> 00:13:58,404
So how's the practice going?
221
00:13:59,405 --> 00:14:01,840
- It's good, doing very good.
222
00:14:05,844 --> 00:14:07,012
- And my case?
223
00:14:08,581 --> 00:14:09,415
- Good.
224
00:14:12,151 --> 00:14:15,621
You know, I filed all the
papers.
225
00:14:15,688 --> 00:14:20,459
I just keep waiting and
waiting for the trial date.
226
00:14:20,526 --> 00:14:22,394
- Well it's filed and that's
good, that's progress.
227
00:14:22,461 --> 00:14:23,295
That's really good.
228
00:14:23,362 --> 00:14:24,196
Yeah.
229
00:14:29,368 --> 00:14:31,637
So how you doing for money?
230
00:14:32,571 --> 00:14:33,505
- I'm good.
231
00:14:36,976 --> 00:14:40,379
Well I could use a little
loan if you've got it.
232
00:14:40,446 --> 00:14:42,848
Just until the next settlement
comes in.
233
00:14:42,915 --> 00:14:43,749
- Michael,
234
00:14:44,950 --> 00:14:48,020
you know I don't put icing on
cornbread.
235
00:14:49,121 --> 00:14:50,189
No, I cannot.
236
00:14:52,358 --> 00:14:55,694
You know I invested all my
savings
237
00:14:55,761 --> 00:14:59,932
on the case for son and all
those experts you said I needed.
238
00:14:59,999 --> 00:15:02,568
I don't know if you know
but all of that came
239
00:15:02,635 --> 00:15:03,969
out of my house.
240
00:15:08,841 --> 00:15:10,943
- And you will get it back.
241
00:15:11,010 --> 00:15:12,044
- [Woman] When?
- [Man] Off the top.
242
00:15:12,111 --> 00:15:15,114
- When? It's been two years
Michael.
243
00:15:16,048 --> 00:15:19,018
- Laurel, some of these things
take time.
244
00:15:19,084 --> 00:15:21,754
- Well I don't have time.
245
00:15:21,820 --> 00:15:23,656
Because now the bank is
making rumblings about
246
00:15:23,722 --> 00:15:25,057
taking my house.
247
00:15:26,558 --> 00:15:30,129
- How much does the bank say
they want to save your house?
248
00:15:36,402 --> 00:15:38,837
- $10,400, can you find that?
249
00:15:47,012 --> 00:15:50,482
- I'm not gonna let anybody
take that house from you.
250
00:15:50,549 --> 00:15:51,383
Okay?
251
00:15:52,484 --> 00:15:53,319
Nobody.
252
00:15:55,587 --> 00:15:56,989
- Promise?
253
00:15:57,056 --> 00:15:58,057
- I promise.
254
00:15:59,258 --> 00:16:00,592
- In Jesus name.
255
00:16:04,163 --> 00:16:05,597
I believe in you.
256
00:16:06,632 --> 00:16:08,801
(mumbles)
257
00:16:10,869 --> 00:16:13,872
I don't want this ice cream to
melt.
258
00:16:16,608 --> 00:16:20,012
("Miracles" by Mz. Nonz)
259
00:17:04,056 --> 00:17:07,659
- You know they can't
keep a good man down.
260
00:17:10,496 --> 00:17:11,330
Tonight.
261
00:17:12,664 --> 00:17:16,769
Princeton, Memphis, Oregon,
FSU, those will be easy.
262
00:17:16,835 --> 00:17:20,672
Thanks for that, hope
you still got the touch.
263
00:17:26,779 --> 00:17:27,946
- Excuse me?
264
00:17:28,013 --> 00:17:30,215
You that lawyer, with
all the ads everywhere?
265
00:17:30,282 --> 00:17:31,683
- That would be me.
266
00:17:31,750 --> 00:17:33,218
Michael Brown.
267
00:17:33,285 --> 00:17:35,487
- Do you like throwing money
away?
268
00:17:35,554 --> 00:17:36,822
- Excuse me?
269
00:17:36,889 --> 00:17:39,558
- All those games you
picked, they're all wrong.
270
00:17:39,625 --> 00:17:42,227
Princeton is, Charmin soft.
271
00:17:42,294 --> 00:17:44,730
Oregon is fast, they can't shoot
the ball.
272
00:17:44,797 --> 00:17:48,467
Memphis just got a new
coach, what are you doing?
273
00:17:48,534 --> 00:17:52,704
Florida State, they need to
stick to playing football.
274
00:17:58,076 --> 00:17:58,844
- [Waitress] Aiden Paul.
275
00:17:58,911 --> 00:17:59,745
- Yeah.
276
00:18:02,147 --> 00:18:02,981
Thank you.
277
00:18:10,122 --> 00:18:11,290
- Hey, thanks.
278
00:18:12,291 --> 00:18:14,526
In case you need a good lawyer.
279
00:18:14,593 --> 00:18:16,328
- [Waitress] Water, coffee, or
juice?
280
00:18:16,395 --> 00:18:17,329
- Water and
281
00:18:18,797 --> 00:18:20,899
I'll have the light menu.
282
00:18:34,646 --> 00:18:37,316
- [Waitress] Can you cover this?
283
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:44,389
(motorcycle shuts off)
284
00:18:45,524 --> 00:18:47,392
(sighs)
285
00:18:47,459 --> 00:18:48,627
- Thank you.
286
00:18:48,694 --> 00:18:50,596
- Any time brother.
287
00:18:50,662 --> 00:18:53,398
- Thanks for taking care
of the boys today, Ray.
288
00:18:53,465 --> 00:18:55,100
- We missed you.
289
00:18:55,167 --> 00:18:58,604
We got outscored by 20 in the
second half.
290
00:18:58,670 --> 00:19:00,672
(sighs)
291
00:19:01,707 --> 00:19:03,642
- This thing's got me
thrown, I mean, really.
292
00:19:03,709 --> 00:19:05,744
I got no idea how he
could've found out about that
293
00:19:05,811 --> 00:19:08,947
on the same day, I mean
it doesn't make any sense.
294
00:19:09,014 --> 00:19:09,848
- I know.
295
00:19:14,753 --> 00:19:17,756
(high pitched buzz)
296
00:19:19,324 --> 00:19:20,792
- You did?
297
00:19:20,859 --> 00:19:21,693
- Yeah.
298
00:19:24,096 --> 00:19:24,930
Look man,
299
00:19:26,231 --> 00:19:27,166
I feel bad.
300
00:19:29,101 --> 00:19:30,469
I was hoping,
301
00:19:30,536 --> 00:19:34,172
this might help you get on your
feet.
302
00:19:34,239 --> 00:19:35,474
Just read it.
303
00:19:35,541 --> 00:19:37,476
The lady's a good lady,
304
00:19:37,543 --> 00:19:39,811
and it's a private school
and all, but I mean,
305
00:19:39,878 --> 00:19:40,779
it's a gig.
306
00:20:04,803 --> 00:20:06,371
- [Voiceover] Then they started
to concentrate, but they
307
00:20:06,438 --> 00:20:09,374
didn't have to concentrate under
pressure.
308
00:20:09,441 --> 00:20:11,777
This is a big deal right here
for this...
309
00:20:11,843 --> 00:20:15,914
- [Voiceover] Kansas just
used its last time out.
310
00:20:17,382 --> 00:20:18,817
- Oh.
311
00:20:18,884 --> 00:20:22,387
- [Voiceover] He backed off
as well. Wow. (slams pen down)
312
00:20:26,491 --> 00:20:28,794
- [Voiceover] He's got one
more, Kansas at the very least
313
00:20:28,860 --> 00:20:33,065
will have a shot to tie with
10.8 seconds.
314
00:20:33,131 --> 00:20:35,133
(sighs)
315
00:20:39,071 --> 00:20:42,574
- [Voiceover] Kansas has made
only two three on the night.
316
00:20:42,641 --> 00:20:46,445
They must make one here
to extend the game.
317
00:20:46,511 --> 00:20:48,547
Thomson driving, almost lost the
handle.
318
00:20:48,614 --> 00:20:52,517
Chambers for the tie,
(cheering and yelling)
319
00:20:52,584 --> 00:20:54,386
Unbelievable.
320
00:20:54,453 --> 00:20:58,256
Dosier at mid court, for
the championship no, we're
321
00:20:58,323 --> 00:21:01,193
going into overtime in San
Antonio.
322
00:21:01,259 --> 00:21:04,096
Jim the free throws did it.
323
00:21:04,162 --> 00:21:07,165
It put Memphis in this (mumbles)
position.
324
00:21:07,232 --> 00:21:10,335
(pen slams on table)
325
00:21:11,803 --> 00:21:12,938
(sighs)
326
00:21:13,005 --> 00:21:14,006
- In Heaven.
327
00:21:17,676 --> 00:21:19,678
Beyond my understanding.
328
00:21:20,946 --> 00:21:22,547
My faith is in you.
329
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,736
(dramatic music)
330
00:22:06,758 --> 00:22:09,428
(knock on door)
331
00:22:13,498 --> 00:22:16,168
(knock on door)
332
00:22:31,450 --> 00:22:33,719
- What's up, Coach?
333
00:22:33,785 --> 00:22:35,220
- What's up, man?
334
00:22:37,956 --> 00:22:39,791
- Come on, man. Stop acting
like you ain't happy to see
335
00:22:39,858 --> 00:22:41,626
us or something.
336
00:22:41,693 --> 00:22:43,762
I know you miss getting down
with us, huh?
337
00:22:43,829 --> 00:22:45,597
I know you miss that.
338
00:22:47,165 --> 00:22:47,933
What's up, Coach?
339
00:22:47,999 --> 00:22:49,768
- [All] Coach!
340
00:22:49,835 --> 00:22:51,203
- [Voiceover] What's up, Coach?
341
00:22:51,269 --> 00:22:52,270
- What's up?
342
00:22:58,977 --> 00:22:59,978
- Hey Coach.
343
00:23:01,279 --> 00:23:02,714
- What's up, man?
344
00:23:12,357 --> 00:23:14,559
Look guys, the important thing
is is that
345
00:23:14,626 --> 00:23:16,128
you stay together,
346
00:23:17,329 --> 00:23:19,698
right, because you're a team.
347
00:23:19,765 --> 00:23:22,167
That's what a team does,
a team stays together,
348
00:23:22,234 --> 00:23:23,802
no matter what. So,
349
00:23:25,670 --> 00:23:27,072
no excuses.
350
00:23:27,139 --> 00:23:29,474
- Look, this Coach Clemmins.
351
00:23:30,575 --> 00:23:32,410
I have no idea what he's doing,
352
00:23:32,477 --> 00:23:34,045
and I don't think he does.
353
00:23:34,112 --> 00:23:36,114
- Hey coach, for real.
354
00:23:36,181 --> 00:23:37,716
They did you wrong.
355
00:23:37,783 --> 00:23:39,418
They did you real wrong.
356
00:23:39,484 --> 00:23:41,386
I don't know if we can
357
00:23:41,453 --> 00:23:43,455
do this without you on the
sidelines, man.
358
00:23:43,522 --> 00:23:45,190
- Yeah you can, man.
359
00:23:45,257 --> 00:23:46,324
Yeah you can.
360
00:23:49,361 --> 00:23:50,362
Well, you know man,
361
00:23:50,428 --> 00:23:52,964
there's no place I'd rather be,
362
00:23:53,031 --> 00:23:54,699
you know that.
363
00:23:54,766 --> 00:23:57,569
You believe that when I say that
right?
364
00:23:57,636 --> 00:23:58,470
But,
365
00:23:59,638 --> 00:24:01,840
it's out of my control.
366
00:24:01,907 --> 00:24:04,042
- Coach, you can sue them.
367
00:24:04,109 --> 00:24:06,845
- No, man, everybody
wants to file a lawsuit.
368
00:24:06,912 --> 00:24:09,147
That's not me. I'm not filing a
lawsuit.
369
00:24:09,214 --> 00:24:12,584
- So you're just gonna
sit back and accept it?
370
00:24:12,651 --> 00:24:16,221
Just gonna sit back and do
nothing?
371
00:24:16,288 --> 00:24:19,024
- No I'm actually looking for a
job, man.
372
00:24:19,090 --> 00:24:20,425
- How's that job,
373
00:24:20,492 --> 00:24:24,329
get you back on the
sidelines with us coach?
374
00:24:24,396 --> 00:24:26,598
- I guess it doesn't Ron.
375
00:24:26,665 --> 00:24:28,233
- You told us to never give up.
376
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:30,802
Go for our goals, our dreams,
everything.
377
00:24:30,869 --> 00:24:32,704
And now look at you.
378
00:24:32,771 --> 00:24:34,206
What are you gonna do?
379
00:24:34,272 --> 00:24:35,841
- All that,
380
00:24:35,907 --> 00:24:38,376
all that talk about us
381
00:24:38,443 --> 00:24:40,812
being part of a team,
382
00:24:40,879 --> 00:24:44,683
all that talk about us
being like your sons,
383
00:24:44,749 --> 00:24:46,651
just talk right?
384
00:24:46,718 --> 00:24:48,119
Just tough, talk.
385
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,930
- Seeing as life is
really complicated okay?
386
00:24:58,997 --> 00:25:01,066
You don't know that because
you're
387
00:25:01,132 --> 00:25:04,069
16, 17 years old but, it really
is.
388
00:25:06,171 --> 00:25:09,040
Tried everything I could.
389
00:25:09,107 --> 00:25:12,110
- I think it's pretty simple,
coach.
390
00:25:13,144 --> 00:25:14,913
You always taught us,
391
00:25:16,047 --> 00:25:16,882
to fight.
392
00:25:19,184 --> 00:25:22,020
You always taught us to play
hard.
393
00:25:23,154 --> 00:25:27,859
And now that it's time for
you to fight and play hard,
394
00:25:27,926 --> 00:25:29,861
you just punk out.
395
00:25:29,928 --> 00:25:30,829
- Punk out?
396
00:25:32,063 --> 00:25:34,799
(dramatic music)
397
00:25:46,144 --> 00:25:48,146
(sighs)
398
00:25:55,987 --> 00:25:58,490
I love all you guys, but
you gotta go alright?
399
00:25:58,556 --> 00:25:59,391
I'm...
400
00:26:01,826 --> 00:26:04,029
I'm not your coach anymore,
okay?
401
00:26:04,095 --> 00:26:07,165
- [Voiceover] You kicking us out
now?
402
00:26:08,767 --> 00:26:09,601
- Come on.
403
00:26:25,984 --> 00:26:28,586
- I knew you were nothing
404
00:26:28,653 --> 00:26:29,587
but a fake,
405
00:26:30,755 --> 00:26:33,124
white boy pretender.
406
00:26:33,191 --> 00:26:35,427
- Man, get out of my house.
407
00:26:38,396 --> 00:26:40,799
(slams door)
408
00:26:46,371 --> 00:26:48,039
My house. (punches wall)
409
00:26:48,106 --> 00:26:48,940
My house.
410
00:26:51,109 --> 00:26:53,845
(dramatic music)
411
00:27:18,269 --> 00:27:22,440
("I Ain't Got No Quit" by
D-Woodz)
412
00:28:10,855 --> 00:28:11,689
- Hey.
413
00:28:13,858 --> 00:28:15,260
You're the swami.
414
00:28:16,561 --> 00:28:19,964
You were right about
those games, you know?
415
00:28:20,031 --> 00:28:22,167
- Yeah, you were right too,
416
00:28:22,233 --> 00:28:25,036
I think I might need a lawyer.
417
00:28:25,103 --> 00:28:26,171
- Let's talk.
418
00:28:27,105 --> 00:28:29,074
- I saw your sign out there,
419
00:28:29,140 --> 00:28:30,742
on the road,
420
00:28:30,809 --> 00:28:32,310
and in the diner,
421
00:28:32,377 --> 00:28:35,046
and then I found your card here.
422
00:28:39,584 --> 00:28:42,854
Three times, do you know
the significance of that?
423
00:28:42,921 --> 00:28:44,556
- I can't say that I do.
424
00:28:44,622 --> 00:28:48,259
- Oh, it's the Holy
Trinity, Jesus died and then
425
00:28:48,326 --> 00:28:50,495
rose on the third day,
426
00:28:50,562 --> 00:28:53,264
there's 27 books of the Bible
which is three to the third
427
00:28:53,331 --> 00:28:54,065
power--
428
00:28:54,132 --> 00:28:56,434
- 66 books in the Bible.
429
00:28:56,501 --> 00:28:57,335
- Right.
430
00:28:58,603 --> 00:29:01,473
- [Both] 27 in the New
Testament.
431
00:29:01,539 --> 00:29:05,143
- Alright, well 66 is still
a multiple of three and
432
00:29:05,210 --> 00:29:09,013
Jesus prayed three times in
the Garden of Gethsemane.
433
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,515
before his arrest.
- Okay.
434
00:29:10,582 --> 00:29:11,816
- [Aiden] After that--
- [Michael] Okay, okay
435
00:29:11,883 --> 00:29:13,785
I get it. Three's a sign.
436
00:29:13,852 --> 00:29:14,819
- Right.
437
00:29:14,886 --> 00:29:15,720
- Look.
438
00:29:17,388 --> 00:29:21,226
I don't even know if I
believe there is a God.
439
00:29:22,694 --> 00:29:26,865
But I sure know you can't
pray with kids in schools.
440
00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:29,968
- You ever try that?
441
00:29:30,034 --> 00:29:31,402
- Praying?
442
00:29:31,469 --> 00:29:32,403
Who hasn't?
443
00:29:34,706 --> 00:29:36,708
- What'd you ask for?
444
00:29:36,774 --> 00:29:37,709
- For what?
445
00:29:37,775 --> 00:29:38,943
- For what?
446
00:29:39,010 --> 00:29:41,246
- That I wouldn't have
a wife that cheated.
447
00:29:41,312 --> 00:29:42,580
- And?
448
00:29:42,647 --> 00:29:44,282
- I'm divorced.
449
00:29:44,349 --> 00:29:46,651
- Because she cheated?
450
00:29:46,718 --> 00:29:47,552
- No.
451
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:49,354
- You did.
452
00:29:57,095 --> 00:29:59,664
- I don't think I can help you.
453
00:30:01,132 --> 00:30:04,135
- Counselor, what do
you want most in life?
454
00:30:04,202 --> 00:30:06,104
- Make money, be happy.
455
00:30:09,374 --> 00:30:11,476
- Well, all I want to do,
456
00:30:13,178 --> 00:30:14,279
is help kids.
457
00:30:15,413 --> 00:30:18,016
I want to help boys become men.
458
00:30:19,484 --> 00:30:21,753
To coach them and help them,
it's the only thing I know
459
00:30:21,819 --> 00:30:22,921
how to do.
460
00:30:22,987 --> 00:30:26,524
That's what I'm good at, that's
my calling
461
00:30:26,591 --> 00:30:28,026
is to do that and
462
00:30:29,427 --> 00:30:31,462
that's why I'm here right
now, is because a kid came
463
00:30:31,529 --> 00:30:33,031
to me for help and
464
00:30:34,532 --> 00:30:36,834
and I gave it to him,
465
00:30:36,901 --> 00:30:39,938
the best way I know how, the
only way I knew how to help him
466
00:30:40,004 --> 00:30:43,908
and they took everything
away from me for that.
467
00:30:47,579 --> 00:30:49,414
So I'm here now asking
468
00:30:50,315 --> 00:30:52,250
for your help,
469
00:30:52,317 --> 00:30:55,386
and yeah, you would be putting
your neck out on the line,
470
00:30:55,453 --> 00:30:58,089
but that's what I did for
somebody who needed help
471
00:30:58,156 --> 00:31:00,592
and that's why I'm here so...
472
00:31:07,065 --> 00:31:09,834
Come on, let's make some
history.
473
00:31:32,056 --> 00:31:33,691
- I need a retainer.
474
00:31:33,758 --> 00:31:36,594
Up front in case you
have a crisis of faith.
475
00:31:36,661 --> 00:31:38,997
I'll do the rest on contingency.
476
00:31:39,063 --> 00:31:40,999
- How much do you need?
477
00:31:42,267 --> 00:31:43,101
- $10,500.
478
00:31:45,003 --> 00:31:46,904
- Mr. Brown, I'm unemployed,
I don't have access to
479
00:31:46,971 --> 00:31:48,539
that kind of money.
480
00:31:50,508 --> 00:31:53,177
- I can't do it for free, swami.
481
00:32:02,153 --> 00:32:04,989
- Would you take $5000, Mr.
Brown?
482
00:32:11,462 --> 00:32:15,633
("I Ain't Got No Quit" by
D-Woods)
483
00:32:37,188 --> 00:32:38,690
- [Woman] Michael?
484
00:32:43,161 --> 00:32:44,829
- What are you doing here?
485
00:32:44,896 --> 00:32:46,564
How did you know where I was?
486
00:32:46,631 --> 00:32:49,634
- Do you realize what you are
doing?
487
00:32:50,935 --> 00:32:53,738
I just want to pay my score.
488
00:32:53,805 --> 00:32:55,573
They're gonna make me
tell them everything.
489
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,141
Everything I know.
490
00:32:58,576 --> 00:33:00,378
You should check your office.
491
00:33:00,445 --> 00:33:01,512
- Why?
492
00:33:01,579 --> 00:33:04,015
- They left a message.
493
00:33:04,082 --> 00:33:06,584
(keys jingle)
494
00:33:08,986 --> 00:33:11,422
(door slams)
495
00:33:13,157 --> 00:33:15,927
(dramatic music)
496
00:33:59,504 --> 00:34:01,806
- [Voiceover] You know
you give a person a chance
497
00:34:01,873 --> 00:34:04,575
and they just take advantage
of you, today you just
498
00:34:04,642 --> 00:34:07,245
can't be nice, didn't want
to listen to the pretty face
499
00:34:07,311 --> 00:34:08,679
that you got involved,
500
00:34:08,746 --> 00:34:11,449
after you knew your line was
closed.
501
00:34:11,516 --> 00:34:13,351
I want my money.
502
00:34:13,418 --> 00:34:15,319
And whatever happens
to the people you love,
503
00:34:15,386 --> 00:34:16,621
that's all you.
504
00:34:24,362 --> 00:34:26,931
(bells jingle)
505
00:34:34,205 --> 00:34:37,442
- We should go, get out of here.
506
00:34:37,508 --> 00:34:38,342
- Go?
507
00:34:39,210 --> 00:34:40,311
Go where?
508
00:34:40,378 --> 00:34:42,547
- Anywhere, just not here.
509
00:34:45,349 --> 00:34:46,584
A vacation, hm?
510
00:34:49,087 --> 00:34:50,555
I mean you spend all your
time around these old things
511
00:34:50,621 --> 00:34:51,689
nobody wants.
512
00:34:53,357 --> 00:34:55,593
- Oh, so I guess I'm nobody,
huh?
513
00:34:55,660 --> 00:34:57,995
- Well I didn't mean nobody.
514
00:34:58,062 --> 00:35:02,166
I just meant we should
be, more spontaneous.
515
00:35:02,233 --> 00:35:03,067
Leave.
516
00:35:03,935 --> 00:35:06,104
- I have to work.
517
00:35:06,170 --> 00:35:07,772
- You own the shop.
518
00:35:09,006 --> 00:35:11,509
- And I need $10,400 remember?
519
00:35:13,878 --> 00:35:14,979
- I remember.
520
00:35:16,247 --> 00:35:19,050
But a few days won't hurt.
521
00:35:19,116 --> 00:35:22,420
I mean the case is gonna
be settled real soon.
522
00:35:22,487 --> 00:35:23,321
- It will?
523
00:35:24,489 --> 00:35:25,323
- It will.
524
00:35:29,961 --> 00:35:32,463
- Michael look at me.
525
00:35:32,530 --> 00:35:35,533
In my eyes and tell me you
think this case is gonna
526
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:36,934
be settled soon.
527
00:35:38,870 --> 00:35:39,704
- It will.
528
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,542
- We're the same.
529
00:35:44,609 --> 00:35:46,010
Exactly same DNA.
530
00:35:49,347 --> 00:35:50,114
- It will.
531
00:35:50,181 --> 00:35:51,182
- Michael...
532
00:35:52,350 --> 00:35:55,786
(light orchestral music)
533
00:36:26,684 --> 00:36:27,952
- This is a...
534
00:36:28,019 --> 00:36:30,855
- I've known about it for a
while.
535
00:36:31,956 --> 00:36:34,592
I just wanted to see how
long it was gonna take
536
00:36:34,659 --> 00:36:36,994
for you to tell me about it.
537
00:36:42,233 --> 00:36:43,000
- Why didn't you--
538
00:36:43,067 --> 00:36:43,901
- Why?
539
00:36:48,940 --> 00:36:51,042
Because with people you love,
540
00:36:51,108 --> 00:36:53,611
you tend to be more forgiving.
541
00:36:55,346 --> 00:36:59,116
But I just kept hoping that
you would do something,
542
00:36:59,183 --> 00:37:01,552
do something to make it right.
543
00:37:01,619 --> 00:37:02,520
- Laurel...
544
00:37:10,194 --> 00:37:12,196
- And you want me to leave,
545
00:37:12,263 --> 00:37:13,231
my life.
546
00:37:13,297 --> 00:37:15,800
You look around here and
547
00:37:15,866 --> 00:37:19,070
you see old stuff, but I see
treasures.
548
00:37:19,136 --> 00:37:22,640
The people who made all this
stuff,
549
00:37:22,707 --> 00:37:26,210
they've long since passed,
but what they put their
550
00:37:26,277 --> 00:37:27,111
hands to
551
00:37:28,446 --> 00:37:29,447
is treasure.
552
00:37:31,782 --> 00:37:36,387
That's their legacy and I
used to have one of my own.
553
00:37:36,454 --> 00:37:40,124
That died in that car
accident, so right now
554
00:37:41,292 --> 00:37:44,795
I just want to make their legacy
live on
555
00:37:44,862 --> 00:37:45,763
right here.
556
00:37:49,734 --> 00:37:52,336
So no, I don't need a vacation.
557
00:37:53,404 --> 00:37:55,406
I am where I need to be.
558
00:37:58,209 --> 00:38:00,278
- I'll pay you back.
559
00:38:00,344 --> 00:38:01,245
Every cent.
560
00:38:07,451 --> 00:38:08,886
- I have to work.
561
00:38:11,656 --> 00:38:13,991
- Laurel, I'll pay you back.
562
00:38:14,925 --> 00:38:15,760
I promise.
563
00:38:19,730 --> 00:38:20,564
I promise.
564
00:38:30,941 --> 00:38:31,776
- Oh God.
565
00:38:34,512 --> 00:38:37,281
- That's my sister, my heart.
566
00:38:37,348 --> 00:38:39,850
I did this to her, I got to fix
it.
567
00:38:39,917 --> 00:38:41,352
I'm gonna fix it.
568
00:38:42,753 --> 00:38:43,587
Watch me.
569
00:38:51,762 --> 00:38:52,963
- I pledge allegiance
570
00:38:53,030 --> 00:38:56,067
to the flag of the
United States of America,
571
00:38:56,133 --> 00:38:59,070
and to the republic for which it
stands
572
00:38:59,136 --> 00:39:03,341
one nation indivisible with
liberty and justice for all.
573
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:04,742
Have a nice day.
574
00:39:05,776 --> 00:39:06,777
- Under God.
575
00:39:08,779 --> 00:39:10,114
- Do I know you?
576
00:39:11,582 --> 00:39:12,583
- Under God.
577
00:39:14,418 --> 00:39:16,554
One nation under God.
578
00:39:16,620 --> 00:39:19,590
Approved by Congress in 1954,
579
00:39:19,657 --> 00:39:23,828
is there a specific reason
you excluded that phrase?
580
00:39:27,431 --> 00:39:29,333
Oh, you've been served,
581
00:39:30,434 --> 00:39:32,870
by Michael Brown, attorney at
law.
582
00:39:32,937 --> 00:39:35,539
Mr. Paul will see you in court.
583
00:39:42,913 --> 00:39:45,116
- And the plaintiff should
be allowed a hearing
584
00:39:45,182 --> 00:39:46,984
for immediate reinstatement.
585
00:39:47,051 --> 00:39:49,887
My client's season will
be nearly over in 60 days,
586
00:39:49,954 --> 00:39:51,055
your Honor.
587
00:39:51,122 --> 00:39:53,390
- My client needs more time for
discovery.
588
00:39:53,457 --> 00:39:55,059
We need more time.
589
00:39:55,126 --> 00:39:56,761
Six months is what we're
thinking.
590
00:39:56,827 --> 00:39:58,095
- Six...
591
00:39:58,162 --> 00:40:01,165
Your Honor, this hearing
should take place this week.
592
00:40:01,232 --> 00:40:03,534
- That's not feasible and
besides that's absurd.
593
00:40:03,601 --> 00:40:05,069
- That is not absurd--
594
00:40:05,136 --> 00:40:07,104
- I have heard from both
of you upwards of an hour,
595
00:40:07,171 --> 00:40:09,306
you want to forever try the
case to make the plaintiff
596
00:40:09,373 --> 00:40:10,875
suffer, and you
597
00:40:10,941 --> 00:40:12,810
want to catch them with their
pants down so they can't
598
00:40:12,877 --> 00:40:14,712
prepare properly.
599
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:17,581
Both positions strategically
valid, both positions
600
00:40:17,648 --> 00:40:18,949
logically flawed.
601
00:40:19,016 --> 00:40:22,186
Gentlemen, you have 30
days to complete discovery.
602
00:40:22,253 --> 00:40:24,021
Trial begins in another 30 days,
603
00:40:24,088 --> 00:40:26,423
I'm sorry if you're client
has to miss his basketball
604
00:40:26,490 --> 00:40:30,194
season but my docket does not
revolve around basketball.
605
00:40:30,261 --> 00:40:31,862
And I'm sorry if you're
client has to work to
606
00:40:31,929 --> 00:40:34,532
prepare for trial but sometimes
counselor,
607
00:40:34,598 --> 00:40:36,834
that's the way it goes.
608
00:40:36,901 --> 00:40:38,636
Thank you, gentlemen.
609
00:40:39,537 --> 00:40:40,538
- Thank you your Honor.
610
00:40:40,604 --> 00:40:41,439
- [Michael] Thank you your
Honor.
611
00:40:41,505 --> 00:40:42,907
- You're welcome.
612
00:40:58,322 --> 00:41:00,224
- I had hoped you'd be a
little more sympathetic
613
00:41:00,291 --> 00:41:02,893
to my client's case your Honor.
614
00:41:03,828 --> 00:41:07,131
- I am a man of both
fact and faith Mr. Brown,
615
00:41:07,198 --> 00:41:09,667
and I would suggest you
find a strong dose of both
616
00:41:09,733 --> 00:41:11,836
before this trial begins.
617
00:41:32,957 --> 00:41:35,092
- I'm Joseph T. Herrington,
trial lawyer,
618
00:41:35,159 --> 00:41:37,761
Judge Rogers asked that I,
619
00:41:37,828 --> 00:41:40,698
that we intervene and
bring our two hundred years
620
00:41:40,764 --> 00:41:43,000
of collective experience to
bare.
621
00:41:43,067 --> 00:41:45,469
Now who is this lawyer who is
622
00:41:46,837 --> 00:41:49,406
shaking a stick in the beehive.
623
00:41:53,177 --> 00:41:54,645
Smart, filed a
624
00:41:54,712 --> 00:41:57,248
claim for retaliation.
625
00:41:57,314 --> 00:42:01,218
Doesn't depend on the success
of the underlying claim.
626
00:42:01,285 --> 00:42:02,353
Nevertheless.
627
00:42:13,264 --> 00:42:15,900
Michael Brown, Yale Law in 1985,
628
00:42:15,966 --> 00:42:19,470
three disciplinary complaints,
suspended for six months,
629
00:42:19,537 --> 00:42:21,705
last chance reinstatement.
630
00:42:21,772 --> 00:42:23,507
Misses deadlines.
631
00:42:23,574 --> 00:42:27,478
Last five years filed 65 cases,
58 settle,
632
00:42:27,544 --> 00:42:29,280
three lost at trial,
633
00:42:29,346 --> 00:42:33,017
two dismissed due to
lack of prosecution and
634
00:42:33,851 --> 00:42:36,887
one little victory for
a rear end car accident,
635
00:42:36,954 --> 00:42:37,955
verdict, uh,
636
00:42:40,190 --> 00:42:40,958
$2,500
637
00:42:41,025 --> 00:42:43,294
(laughter)
638
00:42:44,161 --> 00:42:47,431
We will not simply scorch the
earth,
639
00:42:47,498 --> 00:42:50,567
they'll be no settlement,
they'll be no compromise,
640
00:42:50,634 --> 00:42:52,469
they'll be no way out.
641
00:42:53,470 --> 00:42:54,305
Still,
642
00:42:55,773 --> 00:42:57,741
you go get me a
643
00:42:57,808 --> 00:43:00,311
settlement conference with Mr.
644
00:43:00,377 --> 00:43:01,545
Michael Brown.
645
00:43:03,681 --> 00:43:06,850
(rattles door handle)
646
00:43:09,286 --> 00:43:11,722
(truck engine turns off)
647
00:43:11,789 --> 00:43:12,856
- Aiden Paul?
648
00:43:16,293 --> 00:43:17,127
Aiden?
649
00:43:33,177 --> 00:43:34,979
- The first amendment does
not give coaches the right
650
00:43:35,045 --> 00:43:37,615
to impose their religion
on their students either.
651
00:43:37,681 --> 00:43:39,550
Coaches are government
employees,
652
00:43:39,616 --> 00:43:42,052
when they are coaching, they
are bound by the establishment
653
00:43:42,119 --> 00:43:44,054
clause of the first amendment.
654
00:43:44,121 --> 00:43:46,957
This means that they
cannot encourage, organize,
655
00:43:47,024 --> 00:43:48,659
or participate in prayer.
656
00:43:48,726 --> 00:43:50,627
When they get home, they can
pray,
657
00:43:50,694 --> 00:43:54,865
but whenever they coach,
they coach and not preach.
658
00:43:57,835 --> 00:44:00,904
- You know, you've managed
to divide the community
659
00:44:00,971 --> 00:44:02,640
in a way I haven't seen I a
while.
660
00:44:02,706 --> 00:44:05,876
Your resume is impressive but I
must say,
661
00:44:05,943 --> 00:44:07,811
and I'm not one to beat around
the bush,
662
00:44:07,878 --> 00:44:11,782
there is no one in the
state who will hire you.
663
00:44:17,788 --> 00:44:19,857
- [Voiceover] Aiden Paul?
664
00:44:21,258 --> 00:44:22,092
- Good afternoon.
665
00:44:22,159 --> 00:44:24,561
- How may I help you?
666
00:44:24,628 --> 00:44:27,698
- This is my first time here,
so I don't really know what
667
00:44:27,765 --> 00:44:31,902
to do but I have to apply
for unemployment benefits.
668
00:44:31,969 --> 00:44:34,872
- Fill out these forms
and wait over there. Next.
669
00:44:34,938 --> 00:44:37,941
- Ma'am, I'm sorry I'm not
trying to violate any thing,
670
00:44:38,008 --> 00:44:42,179
but I've just been waiting
in line for three hours.
671
00:44:46,683 --> 00:44:48,118
- [Woman] Denied.
672
00:44:55,025 --> 00:44:56,627
- You lost Michael.
673
00:44:58,328 --> 00:45:00,330
Don't let this escalate.
674
00:45:03,067 --> 00:45:06,336
It won't be good for either of
us.
675
00:45:06,403 --> 00:45:08,238
- I'll have the money.
676
00:45:09,406 --> 00:45:11,709
Long before it's due.
677
00:45:11,775 --> 00:45:12,709
Guaranteed.
678
00:45:21,085 --> 00:45:23,520
(door shuts)
679
00:45:43,507 --> 00:45:44,341
- Hi.
680
00:45:45,709 --> 00:45:47,177
- Hey.
681
00:45:47,244 --> 00:45:49,113
I've been looking for you for
over a week.
682
00:45:49,179 --> 00:45:50,481
Trial's around the corner,
683
00:45:50,547 --> 00:45:53,150
I'm meeting with the defense
in less than 24 hours.
684
00:45:53,217 --> 00:45:54,051
- I've been busy.
685
00:45:54,118 --> 00:45:55,319
- Your phones off.
686
00:45:55,385 --> 00:45:56,787
- I'm staying at a
friend's house right now.
687
00:45:56,854 --> 00:45:59,623
And I don't need that extra
bill.
688
00:46:00,924 --> 00:46:03,827
- Well good news and bad, which
first?
689
00:46:03,894 --> 00:46:05,262
- Um,
690
00:46:05,329 --> 00:46:06,330
I don't know why don't we
let the good news drown out
691
00:46:06,396 --> 00:46:08,232
the bad news?
692
00:46:08,298 --> 00:46:09,700
- Alright bad.
693
00:46:09,767 --> 00:46:12,536
The firm of Herrington Smith
and Hail took over the case.
694
00:46:12,603 --> 00:46:15,706
We drew the partner Joseph
Herrington, he's tough.
695
00:46:15,772 --> 00:46:18,642
Hasn't lost a trial in 20 years.
696
00:46:18,709 --> 00:46:20,577
- So we can't win?
697
00:46:20,644 --> 00:46:22,679
- Oh yeah, yeah we can beat him.
698
00:46:22,746 --> 00:46:24,181
But we may not have to.
699
00:46:24,248 --> 00:46:25,415
That's the good news.
700
00:46:25,482 --> 00:46:28,719
They called, wanted to talk
settlement.
701
00:46:29,753 --> 00:46:31,421
- Well that's...
702
00:46:31,488 --> 00:46:33,390
That's a good thing, right?
703
00:46:33,457 --> 00:46:35,526
- Good? That's very good.
704
00:46:36,426 --> 00:46:38,762
- See I pushed for this
trial to come up fast,
705
00:46:38,829 --> 00:46:40,230
that put pressure on them,
706
00:46:40,297 --> 00:46:42,065
they don't want to put
their resources in this and
707
00:46:42,132 --> 00:46:44,835
know that it's bad PR so,
708
00:46:44,902 --> 00:46:47,671
they want me to come by
tomorrow.
709
00:46:48,805 --> 00:46:52,609
- Like a get my job back,
like very soon, good thing?
710
00:46:52,676 --> 00:46:55,512
- I told them if getting your
job back wasn't on the table
711
00:46:55,579 --> 00:46:56,880
we wouldn't talk.
712
00:46:56,947 --> 00:46:58,916
They said let's talk.
713
00:46:58,982 --> 00:47:01,251
It'll all be over tomorrow.
714
00:47:14,565 --> 00:47:16,867
- Sorry, after conferring
with my client we decline to
715
00:47:16,934 --> 00:47:18,101
make an offer.
716
00:47:25,242 --> 00:47:28,278
- You never had any plans to
settle.
717
00:47:28,345 --> 00:47:31,615
That's considered deception,
deceit, old fashioned lying.
718
00:47:31,682 --> 00:47:33,884
- I did no such thing,
there's always a possibility,
719
00:47:33,951 --> 00:47:37,454
albeit a lower than slight
chance, but
720
00:47:37,521 --> 00:47:39,189
anything's possible.
721
00:47:40,457 --> 00:47:41,291
- Well.
722
00:47:42,893 --> 00:47:46,496
If that's the way you want to
play it.
723
00:47:46,563 --> 00:47:49,666
- You're really not gonna
dismiss this suit are you?
724
00:47:49,733 --> 00:47:50,968
- I don't quit.
725
00:47:51,034 --> 00:47:53,370
- After you learn a few
things about your client,
726
00:47:53,437 --> 00:47:56,907
I'm sure that withdrawing
might be a smart move.
727
00:47:56,974 --> 00:48:00,978
- Patience prevents me
from folding prematurely.
728
00:48:02,546 --> 00:48:04,581
- I got to give you a little
credit.
729
00:48:04,648 --> 00:48:07,017
Realizing that if you argue
the merits that the actual
730
00:48:07,084 --> 00:48:11,054
constitutionality, the
prayer, you lose so instead,
731
00:48:11,121 --> 00:48:12,589
you plead retaliation.
732
00:48:12,656 --> 00:48:15,359
That may get you an A in
my common law class but
733
00:48:15,425 --> 00:48:19,329
in the end, these are
little consequence here.
734
00:48:19,396 --> 00:48:20,998
- That's presumptuous.
735
00:48:21,064 --> 00:48:22,499
- Provatic maybe.
736
00:48:23,867 --> 00:48:24,701
Reality is
737
00:48:25,669 --> 00:48:27,337
if you argue prayer,
738
00:48:28,939 --> 00:48:29,773
you lose.
739
00:48:32,442 --> 00:48:35,946
- I'll take that under
consideration.
740
00:48:36,013 --> 00:48:39,049
- You realize this trial
starts in two weeks?
741
00:48:39,116 --> 00:48:40,817
Per your request?
742
00:48:40,884 --> 00:48:43,086
- That's fine counselor.
743
00:48:43,153 --> 00:48:45,155
I wouldn't mind hastening the
headline,
744
00:48:45,222 --> 00:48:47,691
Joseph Herrington loses.
745
00:48:47,758 --> 00:48:49,259
Now that headline,
746
00:48:50,127 --> 00:48:51,361
I'd toiler for.
747
00:48:52,429 --> 00:48:53,263
- T.
748
00:48:54,631 --> 00:48:56,366
Joseph T. Herrington.
749
00:48:57,467 --> 00:48:59,002
Not Joseph Herrington the
plumber,
750
00:48:59,069 --> 00:49:00,837
Joseph Herrington sanitary
worker,
751
00:49:00,904 --> 00:49:03,840
Joseph T Herrington, litigator,
752
00:49:03,907 --> 00:49:05,642
that's something you seem to
forget.
753
00:49:05,709 --> 00:49:08,779
There will be no settlement.
754
00:49:08,845 --> 00:49:10,414
- Very well.
755
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,215
Joseph Herrington. T.
756
00:49:15,419 --> 00:49:17,521
- With your client and his
lawyer, I would expect this
757
00:49:17,587 --> 00:49:20,991
to be the shortest
deliberation in history.
758
00:49:21,058 --> 00:49:21,959
We're done.
759
00:49:37,941 --> 00:49:39,509
- $5,000.
760
00:49:39,576 --> 00:49:40,410
One hand.
761
00:49:43,547 --> 00:49:47,451
(light piano and violins play)
762
00:51:21,812 --> 00:51:24,481
(police siren in distance)
763
00:51:24,548 --> 00:51:27,617
(knocking on window)
764
00:51:29,186 --> 00:51:33,056
I wasn't sure if I should run or
slug you.
765
00:51:33,123 --> 00:51:34,958
- You said that you wanted
to talk so I hope you got
766
00:51:35,025 --> 00:51:36,193
some good news for me.
767
00:51:36,259 --> 00:51:37,828
- You should've made an
appointment.
768
00:51:37,894 --> 00:51:39,763
My life doesn't revolve around
this case.
769
00:51:39,830 --> 00:51:43,266
- I never seen another soul
anywhere near this office.
770
00:51:43,333 --> 00:51:45,335
Hopefully we'll just be
back to normal living,
771
00:51:45,402 --> 00:51:46,970
you know as soon as we get the
settlement.
772
00:51:47,037 --> 00:51:48,638
Thank God for that.
773
00:51:52,409 --> 00:51:55,212
- You lost your job,
your house, your team,
774
00:51:55,278 --> 00:51:56,379
your record,
775
00:51:56,446 --> 00:51:58,115
still you thank God.
776
00:52:01,084 --> 00:52:03,587
You lost your job for praying.
777
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:08,158
If prayer was so powerful,
wouldn't you still be working?
778
00:52:08,225 --> 00:52:09,292
- What am I supposed to do?
779
00:52:09,359 --> 00:52:11,928
Just be faithful when I am
780
00:52:11,995 --> 00:52:13,830
rolling in the riches,
781
00:52:14,865 --> 00:52:15,699
balling,
782
00:52:16,833 --> 00:52:17,667
on top.
783
00:52:19,903 --> 00:52:21,805
- They're not settling.
784
00:52:27,277 --> 00:52:29,212
- They're not settling?
785
00:52:30,747 --> 00:52:32,649
- They're not settling.
786
00:52:33,884 --> 00:52:35,552
- That's funny because I
thought that you told me
787
00:52:35,619 --> 00:52:37,521
they called you
788
00:52:37,587 --> 00:52:41,124
and said that they wanted to
settle.
789
00:52:41,191 --> 00:52:42,692
- They called,
790
00:52:42,759 --> 00:52:44,160
but they snuck me.
791
00:52:44,227 --> 00:52:45,228
- Snuck you?
792
00:52:47,397 --> 00:52:50,867
Oh I see so they outsmarted
you is what you're saying.
793
00:52:50,934 --> 00:52:53,770
- Say it any way you want.
794
00:52:53,837 --> 00:52:56,339
But that's not the worst part.
795
00:52:57,741 --> 00:52:59,576
- That's not the worst part?
796
00:52:59,643 --> 00:53:02,012
What's the worst part?
797
00:53:02,078 --> 00:53:06,316
- No matter what happens,
just keep praying right?
798
00:53:06,383 --> 00:53:09,019
- Why don't you go ahead
and tell me the worst part?
799
00:53:09,085 --> 00:53:09,920
- Look,
800
00:53:11,154 --> 00:53:12,756
you see that stack of motions
they filed.
801
00:53:12,822 --> 00:53:16,593
That's 50 grand in fees
sitting on that desk.
802
00:53:18,828 --> 00:53:21,364
- Where's your stack of motions?
803
00:53:21,431 --> 00:53:22,832
- You didn't pay me 50 grand.
804
00:53:22,899 --> 00:53:26,403
- Well what is five grand stack
look like?
805
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:32,542
That's really it?
806
00:53:33,510 --> 00:53:35,011
That's really it?
807
00:53:35,078 --> 00:53:36,713
- And there's more.
808
00:53:36,780 --> 00:53:37,614
- More?
809
00:53:38,682 --> 00:53:40,684
Oh there's more?
810
00:53:40,750 --> 00:53:41,585
- More.
811
00:53:44,688 --> 00:53:46,790
- There's even more. Wow.
812
00:53:57,567 --> 00:53:59,035
- You should've told me.
813
00:53:59,102 --> 00:54:01,771
- This is supposed to be sealed.
814
00:54:06,343 --> 00:54:08,078
Why are you handing me this?
815
00:54:08,144 --> 00:54:10,680
This is (knocking on desk)
sealed.
816
00:54:10,747 --> 00:54:11,848
This is sealed record.
817
00:54:11,915 --> 00:54:13,783
- If that gets in.
818
00:54:13,850 --> 00:54:15,018
You can't win.
819
00:54:15,085 --> 00:54:16,753
- What do you mean if it gets
in?
820
00:54:16,820 --> 00:54:18,855
It's not supposed to be in,
it's not supposed to be here,
821
00:54:18,922 --> 00:54:21,491
you're not supposed, no one
is ever supposed to be able to
822
00:54:21,558 --> 00:54:22,826
look at this.
823
00:54:22,892 --> 00:54:25,829
Because it's supposed to be
sealed.
824
00:54:27,897 --> 00:54:30,367
We're dropping this lawsuit
right now, do you understand?
825
00:54:30,433 --> 00:54:31,234
- [Michael] Drop it?
826
00:54:31,301 --> 00:54:32,168
- Yeah. I can't go to trial
827
00:54:32,235 --> 00:54:33,436
with a lawyer--
- They have it!
828
00:54:33,503 --> 00:54:35,171
- Who can't keep something
that was sealed as
829
00:54:35,238 --> 00:54:38,608
a minor record.
- Their money unsealed it.
830
00:54:38,675 --> 00:54:40,443
- There's no way this
should be here right now,
831
00:54:40,510 --> 00:54:41,544
do you understand?
832
00:54:41,611 --> 00:54:43,079
There's no way.
833
00:54:43,146 --> 00:54:44,514
- So you just want to drop it?
834
00:54:44,581 --> 00:54:45,649
- Yeah, that's right.
835
00:54:45,715 --> 00:54:47,283
- All my time.
836
00:54:47,350 --> 00:54:49,219
The kids are important.
837
00:54:49,285 --> 00:54:50,987
Et cetera and so forth.
838
00:54:51,054 --> 00:54:53,056
You know I don't get you, swami.
839
00:54:53,123 --> 00:54:54,457
I don't get you.
840
00:54:56,292 --> 00:54:58,428
One minute you're all about
prayer and the next minute
841
00:54:58,495 --> 00:55:00,130
you're ready to quit.
842
00:55:00,196 --> 00:55:02,232
- Ready to quit?
843
00:55:02,298 --> 00:55:04,768
- I'm not quitting anything,
I'm getting out of suicide
844
00:55:04,834 --> 00:55:06,803
right now, that's what I'm
doing.
845
00:55:06,870 --> 00:55:08,972
I lost my job, I lost my
bike, I lost my house,
846
00:55:09,039 --> 00:55:11,341
I lost my living, I lost
everything.
847
00:55:11,408 --> 00:55:12,876
And all I keep... I'm waiting
for answers,
848
00:55:12,942 --> 00:55:15,011
all I keep getting is you,
sitting here telling me
849
00:55:15,078 --> 00:55:16,246
it gets worse.
850
00:55:16,312 --> 00:55:19,149
Oh they outsmarted me. Oh.
851
00:55:19,215 --> 00:55:21,384
You're sealed record from
when you were 10 years old
852
00:55:21,451 --> 00:55:25,055
is now public because they
have money and we don't.
853
00:55:25,121 --> 00:55:26,356
- That's right.
854
00:55:28,024 --> 00:55:31,861
I tell you this so you
know what we're up against.
855
00:55:31,928 --> 00:55:35,532
I tell you this so that
you can understand,
856
00:55:36,366 --> 00:55:38,535
they're playing for keeps.
857
00:55:39,969 --> 00:55:40,870
You get it?
858
00:55:43,173 --> 00:55:44,074
You get it?
859
00:55:44,974 --> 00:55:46,810
And all you got is me.
860
00:55:49,079 --> 00:55:49,913
Hm, me.
861
00:55:51,247 --> 00:55:53,483
The only person crazy
enough or desperate enough
862
00:55:53,550 --> 00:55:55,518
to take your case.
863
00:55:55,585 --> 00:55:58,154
The only person who's willing
to stick their neck out
864
00:55:58,221 --> 00:55:58,988
for you.
865
00:55:59,055 --> 00:56:00,890
The only person who...
866
00:56:05,195 --> 00:56:07,130
You can't quit.
867
00:56:07,197 --> 00:56:08,365
We can't quit.
868
00:56:09,666 --> 00:56:11,868
I didn't tell you this to quit.
869
00:56:11,935 --> 00:56:14,037
I told you this to fight!
870
00:56:18,975 --> 00:56:21,411
Now you asked me something the
other day.
871
00:56:21,478 --> 00:56:23,213
You asked me did I want to make
history,
872
00:56:23,279 --> 00:56:26,116
well I'm telling you now.
873
00:56:26,182 --> 00:56:27,784
Let's make history.
874
00:56:28,752 --> 00:56:32,522
- What are we gonna do
about this, Mr. Brown?
875
00:56:40,096 --> 00:56:43,266
(dramatic dark music)
876
00:56:46,569 --> 00:56:49,072
(keys typing)
877
00:57:18,668 --> 00:57:20,336
- [Judge] Mr. Brown?
878
00:57:33,450 --> 00:57:35,351
- Ladies and gentlemen,
879
00:57:36,319 --> 00:57:40,757
our legal system trust the
community to enforce the law.
880
00:57:40,824 --> 00:57:43,326
Today, you are that community,
881
00:57:44,627 --> 00:57:47,063
your job is important.
882
00:57:47,130 --> 00:57:48,965
And relatively simple.
883
00:57:49,899 --> 00:57:54,704
You have to decide if
Aiden Paul violated a rule,
884
00:57:54,771 --> 00:57:58,708
and whether any violation
deserved termination.
885
00:58:00,577 --> 00:58:01,411
Now,
886
00:58:02,912 --> 00:58:06,282
they will tell you that
Mr. Paul was terminated for
887
00:58:06,349 --> 00:58:08,184
praying with a player,
888
00:58:09,385 --> 00:58:14,023
and that that prayer constituted
a violation of policy,
889
00:58:14,090 --> 00:58:15,792
and for that,
890
00:58:15,859 --> 00:58:17,760
termination was proper.
891
00:58:18,995 --> 00:58:21,564
And then you'll hear the truth.
892
00:58:26,102 --> 00:58:27,203
The truth is,
893
00:58:28,504 --> 00:58:31,608
that Mr. Paul threatened
to report the school's
894
00:58:31,674 --> 00:58:34,811
principal's violations to the
Board,
895
00:58:34,878 --> 00:58:38,114
and later, that same day, he was
fired.
896
00:58:46,389 --> 00:58:49,792
Those are the facts ladies and
gentlemen.
897
00:58:51,394 --> 00:58:52,328
At the end,
898
00:58:53,329 --> 00:58:56,332
(soft violins play)
899
00:59:05,642 --> 00:59:06,476
actually,
900
00:59:08,811 --> 00:59:10,680
the reason we're here
901
00:59:10,747 --> 00:59:11,581
is prayer.
902
00:59:15,451 --> 00:59:17,186
And where you believe
903
00:59:18,121 --> 00:59:20,189
it's greatest value lies.
904
00:59:23,426 --> 00:59:24,260
Thank you.
905
00:59:33,036 --> 00:59:34,203
- Oh.
906
00:59:34,270 --> 00:59:35,104
The truth.
907
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:38,074
The truth.
908
00:59:40,243 --> 00:59:43,112
You know, when someone tells
you,
909
00:59:43,179 --> 00:59:47,283
they declare that they rely
on the truth all too often,
910
00:59:47,350 --> 00:59:49,352
in actuality, the truth,
911
00:59:50,453 --> 00:59:51,688
it evades them.
912
00:59:53,923 --> 00:59:56,459
Because they're so blinded by
their
913
00:59:56,526 --> 00:59:59,462
passionate stand of their
position.
914
01:00:01,464 --> 01:00:06,069
Now I have no doubt that Mr.
Brown believes his client's
915
01:00:06,135 --> 01:00:09,572
position carries the shield of
the truth.
916
01:00:12,041 --> 01:00:15,311
But reality is far from that
barometer.
917
01:00:16,279 --> 01:00:20,016
You see in 1962, our Supreme
Court held
918
01:00:20,083 --> 01:00:24,187
that teacher led prayer
is unconstitutional.
919
01:00:24,253 --> 01:00:26,956
I'm gonna say it again,
listen very carefully.
920
01:00:27,023 --> 01:00:30,860
The Supreme Court held
that teacher led prayer
921
01:00:34,230 --> 01:00:35,898
is unconstitutional.
922
01:00:39,035 --> 01:00:42,171
Opening up prayer in school
is akin to opening up
923
01:00:42,238 --> 01:00:44,774
Pandora's box, why, because we
don't want
924
01:00:44,841 --> 01:00:48,444
our children indoctrinated
with whatever religion,
925
01:00:48,511 --> 01:00:52,048
whatever religion, just
happens to be popular
926
01:00:52,115 --> 01:00:52,882
at the moment.
927
01:00:52,949 --> 01:00:54,017
So we say no.
928
01:00:55,618 --> 01:00:58,688
You want to discuss those
things, you want to ask
questions
929
01:00:58,755 --> 01:01:01,991
you do it inside your own home.
930
01:01:02,058 --> 01:01:04,894
The separation of church and
state
931
01:01:06,329 --> 01:01:07,830
is an enforceable,
932
01:01:09,399 --> 01:01:10,566
constitutional
933
01:01:11,467 --> 01:01:12,301
principle.
934
01:01:14,871 --> 01:01:18,708
Mr. Paul very simply,
violated that principle,
935
01:01:21,511 --> 01:01:22,779
and the school,
936
01:01:24,313 --> 01:01:27,216
they terminated him for doing
such.
937
01:01:30,453 --> 01:01:35,091
That termination, you know
what that termination does?
938
01:01:35,158 --> 01:01:38,428
It protects our children
from the undue influence of
939
01:01:38,494 --> 01:01:41,798
people who happen to be popular.
940
01:01:41,864 --> 01:01:44,901
People that our children
look up to like Mr. Paul
941
01:01:44,967 --> 01:01:47,303
who will do anything to win.
942
01:01:52,475 --> 01:01:53,309
Influence.
943
01:01:54,711 --> 01:01:57,547
People who influence our
children.
944
01:02:01,184 --> 01:02:05,354
Ladies and gentlemen of
the jury, with that verdict
945
01:02:07,490 --> 01:02:09,892
I want you to inform the
plaintiff,
946
01:02:09,959 --> 01:02:13,529
I want you to inform Mr.
Paul that we as a community
947
01:02:13,596 --> 01:02:16,332
we respect and we uphold the
law.
948
01:02:21,170 --> 01:02:24,006
No matter how many athletic
events
949
01:02:28,544 --> 01:02:30,613
you may coach to victory.
950
01:02:32,048 --> 01:02:32,949
We respect,
951
01:02:38,354 --> 01:02:40,189
and we uphold the law.
952
01:02:47,430 --> 01:02:48,264
Thank you.
953
01:02:58,608 --> 01:03:00,776
(thunder)
954
01:03:02,411 --> 01:03:03,679
- Your Honor,
955
01:03:03,746 --> 01:03:07,183
plaintiff calls Kurt Rogers to
the stand.
956
01:03:27,570 --> 01:03:30,406
(distant talking)
957
01:03:34,744 --> 01:03:36,612
- It has been brought to
the court's attention that
958
01:03:36,679 --> 01:03:39,582
Mr. Kurt Rodgers was never
properly served a subpoena
959
01:03:39,649 --> 01:03:42,151
to testify in court today.
960
01:03:42,218 --> 01:03:45,621
- Judge I was informed by the
witness that he would testify
961
01:03:45,688 --> 01:03:47,023
today,
962
01:03:47,089 --> 01:03:50,526
but I would move to admit
his deposition testimony.
963
01:03:50,593 --> 01:03:52,995
- Your Honor we object to the
admission of this deposition,
964
01:03:53,062 --> 01:03:55,198
we were not informed of
the deposition because
965
01:03:55,264 --> 01:03:58,434
Mr. Brown deprived the
defense the opportunity to
966
01:03:58,501 --> 01:04:01,404
cross examine the witness,
the deposition is inadmissible
967
01:04:01,470 --> 01:04:03,372
hearsay under rule 801.
968
01:04:04,507 --> 01:04:05,875
- Mr. Brown?
969
01:04:05,942 --> 01:04:08,644
- I anticipated the witness
would be here to testify
970
01:04:08,711 --> 01:04:09,645
your Honor.
971
01:04:11,647 --> 01:04:13,182
- Not good enough.
972
01:04:13,249 --> 01:04:15,151
If the defense did not have
the opportunity to cross
973
01:04:15,218 --> 01:04:17,653
examine the witness, the
testimony,
974
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:19,388
it's not admissible.
975
01:04:28,397 --> 01:04:30,933
- Your Honor, these
witnesses are inappropriate.
976
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:33,369
The facts of this case
turn on whether Mr. Paul's
977
01:04:33,436 --> 01:04:36,672
termination was a
violation of school policy.
978
01:04:36,739 --> 01:04:38,474
- Your Honor, is counsel
gonna allow us to put on our
979
01:04:38,541 --> 01:04:41,877
case or continue these
jack in the box objections?
980
01:04:41,944 --> 01:04:46,115
- Is opposing counsel gonna
adhere to one single rule?
981
01:04:47,850 --> 01:04:50,152
- I agree with Mr. Herrington,
this case is not about
982
01:04:50,219 --> 01:04:52,755
Mr. Paul's character, it
is only about whether he
983
01:04:52,822 --> 01:04:55,057
was terminated for violating a
rule,
984
01:04:55,124 --> 01:04:57,660
or for pretexual reason.
985
01:04:57,727 --> 01:04:58,494
(gavel bangs)
986
01:04:58,561 --> 01:04:59,629
Next witness.
987
01:05:04,467 --> 01:05:06,535
- [Michael] Mr. Patterson,
you claimed that Coach Paul
988
01:05:06,602 --> 01:05:09,639
was terminated for praying with
a student?
989
01:05:09,705 --> 01:05:11,941
- [Mr. Patterson] That's
correct, yes.
990
01:05:12,008 --> 01:05:15,444
- Isn't it true that on the
same day he was terminated,
991
01:05:15,511 --> 01:05:18,547
he informed you that he was
going to report you to the
992
01:05:18,614 --> 01:05:22,485
Board for the misallocation
of funds assigned to the team?
993
01:05:22,551 --> 01:05:24,020
- Not in that way, no.
994
01:05:24,086 --> 01:05:25,488
- In what way then Mr.
Patterson?
995
01:05:25,554 --> 01:05:26,656
- I recall he
996
01:05:28,124 --> 01:05:30,092
mentioned some kind of a
complaint, but
997
01:05:30,159 --> 01:05:32,662
I don't recall him threatening
me to
998
01:05:32,728 --> 01:05:36,365
threatening to report
me to my superiors, no.
999
01:05:36,432 --> 01:05:39,168
- But if he was to do so
on the same day that he was
1000
01:05:39,235 --> 01:05:40,536
terminated,
1001
01:05:40,603 --> 01:05:43,005
it would look pretty
bad for you wouldn't it?
1002
01:05:43,072 --> 01:05:45,241
- Yeah, if you say so.
1003
01:05:45,308 --> 01:05:46,776
- Well did you?
1004
01:05:46,842 --> 01:05:47,677
- Did I what?
1005
01:05:47,743 --> 01:05:49,845
- Did you miss allocate funds?
1006
01:05:49,912 --> 01:05:52,181
- Absolutely not, sir, and I'm
insulted.
1007
01:05:52,248 --> 01:05:55,117
- Oh I'm so sorry to insult you,
sir.
1008
01:05:55,184 --> 01:05:56,919
Do you need a moment to gather
yourself?
1009
01:05:56,986 --> 01:05:57,753
- Objection your Honor.
1010
01:05:57,820 --> 01:05:59,055
Argumentative.
1011
01:05:59,121 --> 01:06:01,424
- Sustained. That
statement will be stricken.
1012
01:06:01,490 --> 01:06:04,226
- Mr. Patterson praying with a
student
1013
01:06:04,293 --> 01:06:05,995
is not a terminable offense is
it?
1014
01:06:06,062 --> 01:06:07,063
- Yes it is.
1015
01:06:09,298 --> 01:06:11,000
- According to your policies,
1016
01:06:11,067 --> 01:06:15,104
conviction of a felony,
forgery, falsifying records,
1017
01:06:15,171 --> 01:06:18,974
stealing, fighting, immoral
or indecent conduct,
1018
01:06:19,041 --> 01:06:21,477
these are listed as terminable
offenses,
1019
01:06:21,544 --> 01:06:25,548
and funny thing is, there's
no mention of prayer.
1020
01:06:25,614 --> 01:06:28,084
- It's not specifically
stated, I'll give you that,
1021
01:06:28,150 --> 01:06:31,153
it's assumed under indecent
conduct.
1022
01:06:33,222 --> 01:06:34,623
- I'm sorry.
1023
01:06:34,690 --> 01:06:37,660
Are you saying that your
school district categorizes
1024
01:06:37,727 --> 01:06:39,962
prayer as indecent conduct?
1025
01:06:41,163 --> 01:06:45,368
- Yes, but not in the way
you may think however.
1026
01:06:45,434 --> 01:06:48,270
- Well pray tell how do you do
so?
1027
01:06:48,337 --> 01:06:50,539
- Indecent defined as not being
the norm,
1028
01:06:50,606 --> 01:06:53,676
not fitting, not indecent as
obscene.
1029
01:06:54,543 --> 01:06:56,779
- The definition that you're
relying upon,
1030
01:06:56,846 --> 01:07:00,249
this definition is
written in your policies?
1031
01:07:00,316 --> 01:07:01,083
- [Mr. Patterson] No I don't
think--
1032
01:07:01,150 --> 01:07:02,385
- No it is not.
1033
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:08,090
You would agree, Mr. Patterson,
that being transgender
1034
01:07:08,157 --> 01:07:09,492
is not the norm?
1035
01:07:09,558 --> 01:07:11,093
- Honor, objection.
1036
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:12,895
- A little grace your Honor.
1037
01:07:12,962 --> 01:07:14,163
- Very little.
1038
01:07:14,230 --> 01:07:15,498
- Yes I would agree.
1039
01:07:15,564 --> 01:07:18,367
- And there is a transgender
teacher working at your
1040
01:07:18,434 --> 01:07:22,104
school, and a parent
complained because this teacher
1041
01:07:22,171 --> 01:07:24,440
discussed it with a student.
1042
01:07:24,507 --> 01:07:25,808
- I believe that's true, yes.
1043
01:07:25,875 --> 01:07:28,444
- And according to your
definition,
1044
01:07:28,511 --> 01:07:32,148
not being the norm is indecent,
right?
1045
01:07:32,214 --> 01:07:34,450
- According to that logic, I
guess.
1046
01:07:34,517 --> 01:07:36,986
- And that teacher still
teaches, yes?
1047
01:07:37,052 --> 01:07:39,021
- Mr. Brown, precisely what is
your point?
1048
01:07:39,088 --> 01:07:42,792
- My point is that you chose
to terminate Coach Paul
1049
01:07:42,858 --> 01:07:45,961
for praying with a student
but you chose not to
1050
01:07:46,028 --> 01:07:49,098
terminate a transgender
teacher who discussed
1051
01:07:49,165 --> 01:07:52,168
their sexual identity with
students.
1052
01:07:52,968 --> 01:07:54,136
Mr. Patterson.
1053
01:07:56,539 --> 01:07:59,375
Tolerance and understanding is a
river,
1054
01:07:59,442 --> 01:08:02,378
that flows both up stream and
down.
1055
01:08:03,979 --> 01:08:04,980
Does it not?
1056
01:08:21,730 --> 01:08:23,899
(thunder)
1057
01:08:26,001 --> 01:08:30,172
- Guard said it's about
that time, he's locking up.
1058
01:08:33,876 --> 01:08:37,513
- My mentor was never allowed
to enter the room down there.
1059
01:08:37,580 --> 01:08:40,249
He and everyone that looked
like him were forced to
1060
01:08:40,316 --> 01:08:41,317
sit up here.
1061
01:08:42,551 --> 01:08:44,487
Argue from the balcony.
1062
01:08:46,255 --> 01:08:47,089
Separate.
1063
01:08:50,759 --> 01:08:53,162
- Shackled by stupidity, huh?
1064
01:08:55,164 --> 01:08:57,166
- Shackled by stupidity.
1065
01:09:01,337 --> 01:09:03,072
- So I'm up tomorrow?
1066
01:09:05,608 --> 01:09:07,543
- It comes down to you.
1067
01:09:11,347 --> 01:09:14,049
- They can't bring up the
things about the past?
1068
01:09:14,116 --> 01:09:16,285
- No I don't think so, but
1069
01:09:17,219 --> 01:09:18,888
don't open the door.
1070
01:09:20,489 --> 01:09:22,491
(sighs)
1071
01:09:24,326 --> 01:09:26,762
I thought you said at the
beginning of this thing that
1072
01:09:26,829 --> 01:09:29,165
if we argue prayer's okay at any
time,
1073
01:09:29,231 --> 01:09:31,767
then we're gonna lose?
1074
01:09:31,834 --> 01:09:32,668
100%.
1075
01:09:40,042 --> 01:09:40,976
- We might.
1076
01:09:45,548 --> 01:09:48,551
But what are we really fighting
for?
1077
01:09:50,019 --> 01:09:50,953
Just a job.
1078
01:09:52,521 --> 01:09:53,923
- History, right?
1079
01:09:56,959 --> 01:09:59,094
- History remembers those who
1080
01:09:59,161 --> 01:10:01,597
win in a spectacular fashion.
1081
01:10:02,765 --> 01:10:04,767
Or lose in the same way.
1082
01:10:08,871 --> 01:10:12,274
Either way, you and I will be
remembered.
1083
01:10:24,153 --> 01:10:25,821
- [Voiceover] Coach?
1084
01:10:27,256 --> 01:10:28,257
Hey old man.
1085
01:10:32,861 --> 01:10:34,997
- We know you gotta take the
stand.
1086
01:10:35,064 --> 01:10:39,768
- And we know you've kind of
always had our backs and...
1087
01:10:39,835 --> 01:10:42,237
- [Voiceover] We wanted to have
your back.
1088
01:10:42,304 --> 01:10:43,739
- Just don't let them shake you
coach.
1089
01:10:43,806 --> 01:10:47,309
You know they say a solid
d wins championships.
1090
01:10:47,376 --> 01:10:50,112
- Hey man, I appreciate it,
guys.
1091
01:10:54,850 --> 01:10:56,151
What we in a huddle now?
1092
01:10:56,218 --> 01:10:58,487
What we gonna do? Do we fight?
We fight.
1093
01:10:58,554 --> 01:10:59,655
- [All] We fight.
1094
01:10:59,722 --> 01:11:00,823
- [Aiden] We fight.
- [All] We fight.
1095
01:11:00,889 --> 01:11:01,991
- [Aiden] We fight.
- [All] We fight.
1096
01:11:02,057 --> 01:11:03,158
- [Aiden] We fight.
- [All] We fight.
1097
01:11:03,225 --> 01:11:04,326
- [Aiden] We fight.
- [All] We fight.
1098
01:11:04,393 --> 01:11:05,494
- [Aiden] We fight.
- [All] We fight.
1099
01:11:05,561 --> 01:11:06,462
- [Aiden] We fight.
- [All] We fight.
1100
01:11:06,528 --> 01:11:08,063
- [Aiden] Amen.
- [All] Amen.
1101
01:11:08,130 --> 01:11:10,099
(clapping)
1102
01:11:10,165 --> 01:11:13,602
- [Aiden] You guys, thank you
for coming.
1103
01:11:16,372 --> 01:11:18,474
- What? They followed me.
1104
01:11:19,775 --> 01:11:21,010
What can I say?
1105
01:11:26,448 --> 01:11:29,885
(upbeat, powerful music)
1106
01:12:02,384 --> 01:12:06,522
You were terminated, for
praying with one of the students
1107
01:12:06,588 --> 01:12:08,824
and that that violated the
rules.
1108
01:12:08,891 --> 01:12:13,128
Did you or did you not
pray with Kurt Rodgers?
1109
01:12:13,195 --> 01:12:14,029
- I did.
1110
01:12:17,132 --> 01:12:17,966
- And why?
1111
01:12:19,601 --> 01:12:23,672
- I did it because I
recognized pain in his eyes.
1112
01:12:26,175 --> 01:12:27,009
I knew it.
1113
01:12:28,110 --> 01:12:28,944
And
1114
01:12:30,245 --> 01:12:33,916
so then I made a choice
to help one of my players.
1115
01:12:33,982 --> 01:12:35,050
That was all.
1116
01:12:41,657 --> 01:12:44,526
- You do understand that
not everyone believes
1117
01:12:44,593 --> 01:12:46,328
prayer helps?
1118
01:12:46,395 --> 01:12:49,331
- I'm not concerned with
what everyone believes,
1119
01:12:49,398 --> 01:12:50,766
or what everyone thinks.
1120
01:12:50,833 --> 01:12:52,634
I just know that I'm the
only person who's walked
1121
01:12:52,701 --> 01:12:54,837
a mile in my own shoes,
1122
01:12:54,903 --> 01:12:55,738
and I know
1123
01:12:57,506 --> 01:13:01,243
the hopelessness of a
life without any faith,
1124
01:13:05,981 --> 01:13:08,250
know what that can be like.
1125
01:13:09,885 --> 01:13:11,887
Everything I do, and everything
I did
1126
01:13:11,954 --> 01:13:13,455
was to
1127
01:13:13,522 --> 01:13:17,626
help my players, and help
them become better men.
1128
01:13:21,029 --> 01:13:23,298
- [Mr. Brown] Your witness.
1129
01:13:25,267 --> 01:13:29,138
- You understood that prayer
in school is against the rules?
1130
01:13:29,204 --> 01:13:30,472
- No I didn't.
1131
01:13:30,539 --> 01:13:33,575
The constitution guarantees
my right to free speech.
1132
01:13:33,642 --> 01:13:34,877
Period.
1133
01:13:34,943 --> 01:13:37,946
- Strain lay interpretation
be that as it may,
1134
01:13:38,013 --> 01:13:39,748
is it your claim that
1135
01:13:40,983 --> 01:13:42,050
prayer helps,
1136
01:13:43,352 --> 01:13:44,186
helps.
1137
01:13:45,487 --> 01:13:47,723
That prayer has helped you.
1138
01:13:48,857 --> 01:13:50,292
- Yeah.
1139
01:13:50,359 --> 01:13:52,561
- Helped you as a child?
1140
01:13:52,628 --> 01:13:53,996
- Uh huh.
1141
01:13:54,062 --> 01:13:57,766
- Prayer's helped you as far
back as you can remember?
1142
01:13:58,734 --> 01:14:00,836
- I've been praying all my life
and
1143
01:14:00,903 --> 01:14:04,440
it has always helped me
through troubles yes.
1144
01:14:04,506 --> 01:14:06,942
- In 1991, when you were 10 did
you--
1145
01:14:07,009 --> 01:14:08,877
- [Mr. Brown] Objection, your
Honor.
1146
01:14:08,944 --> 01:14:11,513
This is case is not about
Mr. Paul's character,
1147
01:14:11,580 --> 01:14:13,282
as a child or an adult.
1148
01:14:13,348 --> 01:14:15,517
The facts of this case
turn on whether Mr. Paul's
1149
01:14:15,584 --> 01:14:18,987
termination was a violation
of school policy and
1150
01:14:19,054 --> 01:14:21,190
I quote Mr. Herrington.
1151
01:14:21,256 --> 01:14:22,524
- He has you there Mr.
Herrington--
1152
01:14:22,591 --> 01:14:24,226
- Counselor's just a tad
late with that objection,
1153
01:14:24,293 --> 01:14:27,996
Mr. Paul is the one who opened
up the door to his past,
1154
01:14:28,063 --> 01:14:32,134
on a principle that prayer
has always helped him.
1155
01:14:42,644 --> 01:14:43,478
In 1991,
1156
01:14:46,215 --> 01:14:48,617
were you arrested for murder?
1157
01:14:52,254 --> 01:14:54,223
Don't look at your counsel,
he can't answer that for you,
1158
01:14:54,289 --> 01:14:55,691
you're up there all on your own.
1159
01:14:55,757 --> 01:14:58,927
In 1991, were you arrested for
murder?
1160
01:15:03,365 --> 01:15:04,633
- I was.
1161
01:15:04,700 --> 01:15:07,803
- And did pray help you then?
1162
01:15:07,870 --> 01:15:08,704
- It did.
1163
01:15:10,739 --> 01:15:12,674
- Did prayer help you when you
1164
01:15:12,741 --> 01:15:16,345
pushed a man through a glass
window?
1165
01:15:16,411 --> 01:15:17,246
- Yeah.
1166
01:15:20,382 --> 01:15:22,784
- Did prayer help you when
you punched the man and you
1167
01:15:22,851 --> 01:15:24,119
broke his nose?
1168
01:15:29,458 --> 01:15:33,629
Did prayer help you when
you shot and killed the man?
1169
01:15:35,063 --> 01:15:36,798
Your very own father?
1170
01:15:42,571 --> 01:15:45,274
- Thank you Lord that you
will redeem my soul in peace
1171
01:15:45,340 --> 01:15:46,842
from the battle that is against
me.
1172
01:15:46,909 --> 01:15:47,910
- I'm sorry I can't,
1173
01:15:47,976 --> 01:15:48,810
I'm standing right here, I can't
hear it,
1174
01:15:48,877 --> 01:15:50,279
could you speak up?
1175
01:15:50,345 --> 01:15:53,015
- Thank you Lord that you
will redeem my soul in peace,
1176
01:15:53,081 --> 01:15:54,249
from the battle that is against
me.
1177
01:15:54,316 --> 01:15:55,717
- Your Honor, please instruct
the witness
1178
01:15:55,784 --> 01:15:57,953
to answer the questions before?
1179
01:15:58,020 --> 01:16:00,222
- Please, sir, answer
the counsel's questions.
1180
01:16:00,289 --> 01:16:02,624
- His questions, yeah I did.
1181
01:16:03,625 --> 01:16:05,294
It did help me then.
1182
01:16:06,161 --> 01:16:08,497
- That's the same help,
that you were giving Kurt
1183
01:16:08,563 --> 01:16:10,732
regarding his father.
1184
01:16:10,799 --> 01:16:12,534
No further questions.
1185
01:16:37,593 --> 01:16:38,427
- Counsel?
1186
01:16:41,763 --> 01:16:44,433
- The plaintiff calls Nona Paul.
1187
01:16:45,701 --> 01:16:47,803
- What are you doing?
1188
01:16:47,869 --> 01:16:51,273
- She called, said it's her last
chance.
1189
01:16:51,340 --> 01:16:52,841
- You should've told me about
this.
1190
01:16:52,908 --> 01:16:53,709
I don't like this at all.
1191
01:16:53,775 --> 01:16:55,978
- [Mr. Brown] Just trust me.
1192
01:16:56,044 --> 01:16:59,548
(light, soft piano plays)
1193
01:17:38,754 --> 01:17:39,755
- It's time.
1194
01:17:41,823 --> 01:17:42,924
It's my turn.
1195
01:17:55,370 --> 01:17:57,806
- Did Aiden shoot his father?
1196
01:17:58,740 --> 01:18:00,342
- No. No he didn't.
1197
01:18:04,579 --> 01:18:06,515
- Did he say he did?
1198
01:18:06,581 --> 01:18:08,850
- [ Mr. Herrington] Objection.
1199
01:18:08,917 --> 01:18:10,585
- [Judge] Overruled.
1200
01:18:14,256 --> 01:18:15,757
- Yes, yes he did.
1201
01:18:18,393 --> 01:18:20,896
- Ms. Paul, in your own words,
1202
01:18:22,130 --> 01:18:24,800
tell us what happened that
night.
1203
01:18:24,866 --> 01:18:26,701
- I was a drug addict.
1204
01:18:28,036 --> 01:18:29,538
I had two strikes.
1205
01:18:33,375 --> 01:18:34,309
His father,
1206
01:18:36,111 --> 01:18:37,379
was a horrible,
1207
01:18:38,947 --> 01:18:39,948
violent man.
1208
01:18:42,050 --> 01:18:46,221
He and his friends would
do terrible things to me.
1209
01:18:49,257 --> 01:18:52,561
Things a child should never have
to see.
1210
01:18:54,763 --> 01:18:57,265
Aiden was always my protector.
1211
01:19:01,269 --> 01:19:02,671
Until that night.
1212
01:19:04,005 --> 01:19:06,842
That night, his father went
after,
1213
01:19:07,776 --> 01:19:08,610
Aiden,
1214
01:19:10,912 --> 01:19:15,016
and I decided in a split
second, I would do,
1215
01:19:15,083 --> 01:19:17,085
what I knew I had to do.
1216
01:19:30,132 --> 01:19:33,635
- What did you mean by coming
after Aiden?
1217
01:19:38,773 --> 01:19:40,675
No need to answer that.
1218
01:19:54,256 --> 01:19:56,491
- Your mother has cancer.
1219
01:19:56,558 --> 01:20:01,129
Small cell carcinoma, it's a
very invasive type of cancer.
1220
01:20:01,196 --> 01:20:02,030
I'm sorry.
1221
01:20:04,733 --> 01:20:06,635
- Come together they asked of
him,
1222
01:20:06,701 --> 01:20:09,905
saying Lord we'll doubt
this time restore again
1223
01:20:09,971 --> 01:20:12,307
in the kingdom to Israel.
1224
01:20:12,374 --> 01:20:14,242
And he said unto them,
1225
01:20:14,309 --> 01:20:17,145
it's not for you to know
the times or the seasons
1226
01:20:17,212 --> 01:20:20,916
which the Father hath
put in his own power,
1227
01:20:20,982 --> 01:20:22,851
but you shall receive power.
1228
01:20:22,918 --> 01:20:25,654
- [Mrs. Paul] Can you forgive
me?
1229
01:20:34,296 --> 01:20:37,132
- I was just a little kid.
1230
01:20:37,199 --> 01:20:39,701
And you left me in the system.
1231
01:20:45,707 --> 01:20:47,876
I grew up in foster homes.
1232
01:20:49,077 --> 01:20:51,746
You never even came to visit me.
1233
01:20:53,748 --> 01:20:55,183
- I was a coward.
1234
01:21:00,522 --> 01:21:01,790
Simple as that.
1235
01:21:06,962 --> 01:21:08,897
Facing you everyday, I,
1236
01:21:12,133 --> 01:21:14,202
it was facing my failure.
1237
01:21:17,539 --> 01:21:18,373
My fear.
1238
01:21:20,008 --> 01:21:23,678
You are everything I
wish I could have been.
1239
01:21:26,214 --> 01:21:28,316
(crying)
1240
01:21:31,319 --> 01:21:33,788
I don't deserve your
forgiveness,
1241
01:21:33,855 --> 01:21:35,857
I don't deserve your love.
1242
01:21:35,924 --> 01:21:37,993
- Yeah you do, I want you to
have it.
1243
01:21:38,059 --> 01:21:41,296
You do deserve it, you already
have it.
1244
01:21:42,297 --> 01:21:44,232
You're forgiven okay?
1245
01:21:44,299 --> 01:21:46,201
I forgive you.
1246
01:21:46,268 --> 01:21:48,803
I don't even care, I just want
1247
01:21:48,870 --> 01:21:51,106
I just want you to be here.
1248
01:21:53,475 --> 01:21:55,710
I just want you to be here.
1249
01:22:01,049 --> 01:22:02,817
- [Voiceover] Well Mr.
Brown, we find ourselves in
1250
01:22:02,884 --> 01:22:04,286
a precarious position.
1251
01:22:04,352 --> 01:22:06,655
Here's the promise, don't have
my money by the end of the
1252
01:22:06,721 --> 01:22:09,557
day, that email becomes a
reality.
1253
01:22:14,229 --> 01:22:16,731
(phone rings)
1254
01:22:50,899 --> 01:22:52,901
(sighs)
1255
01:23:09,818 --> 01:23:11,753
- [Judge] Counsel?
1256
01:23:11,820 --> 01:23:14,823
Are you ready for closing
arguments?
1257
01:23:21,529 --> 01:23:24,165
- He's pointing to you.
1258
01:23:24,232 --> 01:23:27,902
- Mr. Brown is the plaintiff
ready?
1259
01:23:27,969 --> 01:23:29,070
- Your Honor,
1260
01:23:31,639 --> 01:23:34,275
I need a recess for a day.
1261
01:23:34,342 --> 01:23:35,343
- Objection.
1262
01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:39,547
- This jury has been patient
and I will not make them
1263
01:23:39,614 --> 01:23:40,949
wait another day.
1264
01:23:41,016 --> 01:23:43,651
- Your Honor, I have to
attend to a personal matter,
1265
01:23:43,718 --> 01:23:46,955
of extreme urgency and I have to
do it,
1266
01:23:48,089 --> 01:23:49,357
right now.
1267
01:23:49,424 --> 01:23:52,160
- Your Honor if he had a
matter of such grave importance
1268
01:23:52,227 --> 01:23:55,530
he should've addressed it before
today.
1269
01:23:55,597 --> 01:23:59,067
- Mr. Brown, I find this last
minute request to be both
1270
01:23:59,134 --> 01:24:00,568
unprofessional and discourteous,
1271
01:24:00,635 --> 01:24:02,871
Mr. Herrington, are you
ready for closing arguments?
1272
01:24:02,937 --> 01:24:05,006
- Prepared your Honor.
1273
01:24:05,073 --> 01:24:08,043
- It is time for your
closing Mr. Brown, now.
1274
01:24:08,109 --> 01:24:12,247
- With all due respect your
Honor, to you and to the jury.
1275
01:24:12,313 --> 01:24:16,151
I will not be doing my
closing argument today.
1276
01:24:17,819 --> 01:24:19,387
There are some things
even more important than
1277
01:24:19,454 --> 01:24:20,789
our convenience,
1278
01:24:21,723 --> 01:24:24,325
or even the rule of law.
1279
01:24:24,392 --> 01:24:27,796
Today I'm faced with one of
those things.
1280
01:24:30,832 --> 01:24:32,333
Please forgive me.
1281
01:24:33,601 --> 01:24:34,869
I'll be ready tomorrow.
1282
01:24:34,936 --> 01:24:36,037
- Mr. Brown.
1283
01:24:36,104 --> 01:24:39,140
Mr. Brown! If you step into that
gallery,
1284
01:24:39,207 --> 01:24:41,075
I'll order you arrest and held
in contempt
1285
01:24:41,142 --> 01:24:42,944
of court, this is my courtroom.
1286
01:24:43,011 --> 01:24:44,946
And you will be held
accountable.
1287
01:24:45,013 --> 01:24:46,581
In my court, in my book,
1288
01:24:46,648 --> 01:24:48,750
do you understand?
1289
01:24:48,817 --> 01:24:51,319
(gavel bangs)
1290
01:24:58,426 --> 01:25:00,929
(gavel bangs)
1291
01:25:03,698 --> 01:25:04,899
- Let me go.
1292
01:25:04,966 --> 01:25:06,701
She needs me.
1293
01:25:06,768 --> 01:25:07,602
Let me go.
1294
01:25:09,904 --> 01:25:10,738
No.
1295
01:25:23,718 --> 01:25:24,886
- There he is.
1296
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:28,857
Man too smart to end up in
cuffs.
1297
01:25:29,891 --> 01:25:32,193
- How do you keep it all
together?
1298
01:25:32,260 --> 01:25:33,094
Hm?
1299
01:25:34,229 --> 01:25:37,699
Everything falling apart in your
life and
1300
01:25:37,765 --> 01:25:39,834
still you believe.
1301
01:25:39,901 --> 01:25:41,803
- Don't think I don't get tired.
1302
01:25:41,870 --> 01:25:44,839
Don't think I don't ask for
answers.
1303
01:25:44,906 --> 01:25:47,142
I do, but I keep the faith.
1304
01:25:48,376 --> 01:25:49,711
- I'm a gambler.
1305
01:25:50,745 --> 01:25:51,579
I gamble.
1306
01:25:53,014 --> 01:25:56,851
You don't know what it feels
like to grow up a gambler.
1307
01:25:59,154 --> 01:26:00,421
You feel empty,
1308
01:26:01,489 --> 01:26:02,323
unwanted.
1309
01:26:05,693 --> 01:26:07,529
The only place I've...
1310
01:26:09,731 --> 01:26:13,401
The only place I actually
felt like someone,
1311
01:26:14,802 --> 01:26:17,071
was sitting at a table.
1312
01:26:17,138 --> 01:26:19,307
- Well Michael, you know
there's one family that I know
1313
01:26:19,374 --> 01:26:22,810
that I'm always a part of no
matter what.
1314
01:26:26,214 --> 01:26:27,048
- No matter what.
1315
01:26:27,115 --> 01:26:28,550
- No matter what.
1316
01:26:42,297 --> 01:26:46,467
- I stand here, my hands and
feet shackled like a slave.
1317
01:26:48,836 --> 01:26:50,905
My freedom is restricted.
1318
01:26:51,873 --> 01:26:52,707
Freedom.
1319
01:26:54,776 --> 01:26:57,445
Freedom is why we're here today.
1320
01:26:58,513 --> 01:27:01,683
The defendant has shackled
my client's freedom to share
1321
01:27:01,749 --> 01:27:03,785
his faith with someone who
1322
01:27:03,851 --> 01:27:05,687
simply asked for help.
1323
01:27:07,222 --> 01:27:10,625
And when my client
responded yes I'll help you,
1324
01:27:10,692 --> 01:27:13,895
and decided to break his
shackles,
1325
01:27:13,962 --> 01:27:15,196
they fired him.
1326
01:27:17,131 --> 01:27:18,199
They say that
1327
01:27:19,500 --> 01:27:23,371
prayer in schools is
constitutional prohibited.
1328
01:27:24,205 --> 01:27:27,809
I say it's constitutionally
protected.
1329
01:27:27,875 --> 01:27:32,046
Freedom of speech protects
our right to speak freely,
1330
01:27:34,215 --> 01:27:37,652
and a plain text reading of
the amendment says no law,
1331
01:27:37,719 --> 01:27:41,889
no law shall be made to impede
free exercise of religion.
1332
01:27:42,824 --> 01:27:46,461
So they say separation
of church and state,
1333
01:27:46,527 --> 01:27:50,632
I say there would be no
state without the church.
1334
01:27:51,532 --> 01:27:54,335
But ladies and gentlemen,
1335
01:27:54,402 --> 01:27:55,470
I'm helpless,
1336
01:27:56,938 --> 01:28:01,109
I've taken him as far as
my abilities have allowed.
1337
01:28:02,076 --> 01:28:03,978
And now it's up to you.
1338
01:28:05,046 --> 01:28:08,716
I'm helpless bound in these
shackles.
1339
01:28:08,783 --> 01:28:12,120
I can't break them, I can't
unlock them.
1340
01:28:13,688 --> 01:28:16,190
I can't do anything on my own.
1341
01:28:18,793 --> 01:28:21,696
(orchestral music)
1342
01:28:55,763 --> 01:28:58,399
- Has the jury reached a
verdict?
1343
01:28:58,466 --> 01:29:00,234
- We have your Honor.
1344
01:29:10,144 --> 01:29:10,978
We find
1345
01:29:15,883 --> 01:29:18,386
for the plaintiff, Aiden Paul.
1346
01:29:21,556 --> 01:29:23,291
- [Judge] And for damages?
1347
01:29:23,357 --> 01:29:27,295
- We award the plaintiff
$700,000 reinstatement
1348
01:29:28,730 --> 01:29:32,700
with full pay and for the
defendant to pay attorney
1349
01:29:32,767 --> 01:29:35,336
fees in the amount of $250,000.
1350
01:29:39,006 --> 01:29:42,176
(cheers and clapping)
1351
01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:48,850
And the jury collectively
1352
01:29:48,916 --> 01:29:51,753
wants to say that as a
community,
1353
01:29:51,819 --> 01:29:54,222
we wish more teachers
1354
01:29:54,288 --> 01:29:57,291
would take the time to
pray with the students
1355
01:29:57,358 --> 01:29:59,127
in our schools.
1356
01:29:59,193 --> 01:30:02,130
- Defense moves for a
directive verdict your Honor.
1357
01:30:02,196 --> 01:30:03,564
- Denied.
1358
01:30:03,631 --> 01:30:06,234
- Request to the state of
the order pending appealed.
1359
01:30:06,300 --> 01:30:07,168
- Denied.
1360
01:30:07,235 --> 01:30:08,436
Coach Paul,
1361
01:30:08,503 --> 01:30:10,671
you are ordered reinstated
as of immediately.
1362
01:30:10,738 --> 01:30:12,473
Congratulations, counselor.
1363
01:30:12,540 --> 01:30:14,142
But my order of contempt still
stands,
1364
01:30:14,208 --> 01:30:16,477
you still have to show more
respect for the institution
1365
01:30:16,544 --> 01:30:17,779
of the law,
1366
01:30:17,845 --> 01:30:21,449
now you may conclude your
celebration in custody.
1367
01:30:21,516 --> 01:30:22,350
Bailiff.
1368
01:30:23,684 --> 01:30:27,355
(uplifting, positive music)
1369
01:30:57,685 --> 01:30:59,053
- Five minutes older than me.
1370
01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:00,488
- Stop it.
1371
01:31:00,555 --> 01:31:03,491
I am the baby and I always will
be.
1372
01:31:06,894 --> 01:31:09,730
(cell door opens)
1373
01:31:12,533 --> 01:31:15,203
- Never understood, I always
wondered how a man could
1374
01:31:15,269 --> 01:31:18,506
survive in quarters fit for a
rat, huh?
1375
01:31:19,941 --> 01:31:23,077
Well, the reason for my visit.
1376
01:31:23,144 --> 01:31:24,745
- You read my mind.
1377
01:31:26,981 --> 01:31:28,149
- Thomas Hill.
1378
01:31:29,150 --> 01:31:29,984
- Who?
1379
01:31:31,285 --> 01:31:34,222
- He sat unseen for nearly
30 years but a name who
1380
01:31:34,288 --> 01:31:37,358
who still haunts me to this very
day.
1381
01:31:40,995 --> 01:31:43,931
Third year, law school I was
an intern in the district
1382
01:31:43,998 --> 01:31:47,501
attorney's office and
I tried my first case.
1383
01:31:47,568 --> 01:31:49,070
I was arrogant and
1384
01:31:50,705 --> 01:31:52,039
he beat me down.
1385
01:31:53,608 --> 01:31:57,345
The walk of shame when I got
back to the office, whoa.
1386
01:31:57,411 --> 01:32:01,582
I promise I'd never allow
myself to get beat again.
1387
01:32:03,718 --> 01:32:05,319
When things got difficult,
1388
01:32:05,386 --> 01:32:08,723
those two words, they motivated
me,
1389
01:32:08,789 --> 01:32:09,790
Thomas Hill.
1390
01:32:13,094 --> 01:32:15,596
Now replaced by Michael Brown,
1391
01:32:17,632 --> 01:32:19,000
the only man to have ever beaten
me,
1392
01:32:19,066 --> 01:32:21,335
replaced by the only other
man to have ever beat me
1393
01:32:21,402 --> 01:32:23,871
who's name will drive me to my
twilight
1394
01:32:23,938 --> 01:32:26,340
to never feel this way again.
1395
01:32:28,676 --> 01:32:31,178
- Was that a long winded
congratulations?
1396
01:32:31,245 --> 01:32:34,749
- That's what it sounded like to
me, yeah.
1397
01:32:39,520 --> 01:32:41,589
- Seeing that a jury's
ordered my client to pay
1398
01:32:41,656 --> 01:32:44,625
nearly one million dollars
combined with the fact that
1399
01:32:44,692 --> 01:32:48,596
we do not wish to upset the
Supreme Court's precedent's
1400
01:32:48,663 --> 01:32:51,899
in the unlikely event that
you should win an appeal.
1401
01:32:51,966 --> 01:32:56,137
I have been authorized to
make you a one time offer.
1402
01:33:08,950 --> 01:33:09,850
- $300,000.
1403
01:33:11,786 --> 01:33:15,122
- $200,000 Mr Paul, $100,000 to
counsel.
1404
01:33:19,126 --> 01:33:22,129
- This check is dated four days
ago.
1405
01:33:23,898 --> 01:33:25,900
- I had the authority to
issue it anytime I felt that
1406
01:33:25,967 --> 01:33:29,904
you actually had a
chance to make your case.
1407
01:33:29,971 --> 01:33:32,406
Which didn't arise until your
1408
01:33:33,541 --> 01:33:34,942
moving
1409
01:33:35,009 --> 01:33:35,843
closing.
1410
01:33:44,919 --> 01:33:47,421
I don't want to stand
around here all day so,
1411
01:33:47,488 --> 01:33:49,056
what's it gonna be?
1412
01:33:51,192 --> 01:33:51,959
- My job?
1413
01:33:52,026 --> 01:33:53,928
- Court's order stands.
1414
01:34:03,471 --> 01:34:06,874
I did ask the judge for one
little favor.
1415
01:34:12,013 --> 01:34:13,481
- You can go ahead and
roll your things up,
1416
01:34:13,547 --> 01:34:16,717
I'll be back to get you in 10
minutes.
1417
01:34:17,618 --> 01:34:18,919
(sighs)
1418
01:34:18,986 --> 01:34:20,087
- Still don't think there's
anything greater going
1419
01:34:20,154 --> 01:34:21,088
on in here Michael?
1420
01:34:21,155 --> 01:34:22,289
