Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:07,330 --> 00:00:09,010
Previously on
"The Betty Broderick Story"...
2
00:00:09,076 --> 00:00:10,010
What are you doing?
3
00:00:10,043 --> 00:00:12,446
I never have time
to think about anything.
4
00:00:12,479 --> 00:00:15,735
If I could just
have some time by myself...
5
00:00:15,771 --> 00:00:19,052
The kids are at camp where
you are not listed as next of kin.
6
00:00:19,086 --> 00:00:21,021
When they come back,
they'll be living with me.
7
00:00:21,054 --> 00:00:22,856
I'm seeking an emergency judgment.
8
00:00:22,890 --> 00:00:24,258
I'm in love with her.
9
00:00:24,291 --> 00:00:26,727
Was I ever imagining it?
10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:27,981
No, you were right the whole time.
11
00:00:28,015 --> 00:00:29,796
- Will you marry me?
- Yes.
12
00:00:30,964 --> 00:00:32,299
I'm divorced.
13
00:00:32,332 --> 00:00:34,522
I wasn't even there.
I didn't have a lawyer.
14
00:00:34,561 --> 00:00:37,437
As is usual in bifurcated divorces,
15
00:00:37,471 --> 00:00:39,106
we now move on
to court-ordered mediation.
16
00:00:39,139 --> 00:00:42,351
These contempt filings
serve to deliberately
17
00:00:42,384 --> 00:00:44,901
delay trial proceedings,
which will dilute
18
00:00:44,926 --> 00:00:46,548
Mrs. Broderick's share
of community property.
19
00:00:46,585 --> 00:00:47,652
I have a calendar
20
00:00:47,685 --> 00:00:50,532
of backed up contempt motions
against your client.
21
00:00:50,565 --> 00:00:54,302
I'm imposing 19 day suspended,
6 days in jail.
22
00:01:04,579 --> 00:01:07,182
Okay. Here you go.
23
00:01:09,050 --> 00:01:12,187
Phone's against that wall.
Cab number's on the board.
24
00:01:33,475 --> 00:01:35,811
Look, I got to go. Bye.
25
00:01:35,844 --> 00:01:38,547
Mrs. Broderick? Sid Montgomery,
26
00:01:38,580 --> 00:01:40,982
feature reporter
for the San Diego Register.
27
00:01:41,016 --> 00:01:44,419
- Oh, I'm... I mean, I...
- Your case, your divorce,
28
00:01:44,452 --> 00:01:46,154
might be the worst one
I've seen in this county.
29
00:01:48,089 --> 00:01:49,558
You've seen a lot of divorces, huh?
30
00:01:49,591 --> 00:01:53,305
Well, I cover the court, so yeah.
31
00:01:53,795 --> 00:01:56,398
So I know that you've had it rough.
32
00:01:56,431 --> 00:01:58,266
I just got caught up
on all the proceedings
33
00:01:58,300 --> 00:01:59,935
and seen how long they've been going on
34
00:01:59,968 --> 00:02:01,937
and that the date
for your property settlement
35
00:02:01,970 --> 00:02:04,066
hasn't been set yet, so,
36
00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:06,675
I thought maybe you might
have some things to say
37
00:02:06,708 --> 00:02:08,910
about all that on the record.
38
00:02:09,821 --> 00:02:11,279
Look, I get it.
39
00:02:11,313 --> 00:02:13,116
You want to get home, so...
40
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:17,018
This is my desk phone and my pager.
41
00:02:17,625 --> 00:02:18,826
Okay?
42
00:02:18,865 --> 00:02:20,088
Oh, and just remember,
43
00:02:20,121 --> 00:02:23,085
sometimes a problem
just needs a little daylight.
44
00:02:32,033 --> 00:02:34,102
I've seen the other side of life now.
45
00:02:37,873 --> 00:02:41,676
The sordid, degrading side,
and I'm a part of it.
46
00:02:43,645 --> 00:02:45,380
And it actually wasn't any worse
47
00:02:45,413 --> 00:02:46,948
than the hell in my head.
48
00:02:48,617 --> 00:02:51,386
He sent me to jail and set me free.
49
00:02:56,258 --> 00:02:59,027
There's nothing more
liberating than to realize
50
00:02:59,060 --> 00:03:01,396
you don't have to live up
to anything anymore.
51
00:03:11,072 --> 00:03:14,676
This just doesn't sound like
how you said she acts.
52
00:03:14,709 --> 00:03:16,845
Like, signing her name
to your legal documents...
53
00:03:16,878 --> 00:03:19,180
Yeah, and putting her voice
on his machine.
54
00:03:19,214 --> 00:03:21,483
It's always at such a remove.
55
00:03:21,516 --> 00:03:23,852
- Passive, you know?
- Plausible deniability.
56
00:03:23,885 --> 00:03:25,387
Yeah, are we even sure
that's her handwriting?
57
00:03:25,420 --> 00:03:26,721
I wondered that too. It looks so...
58
00:03:26,755 --> 00:03:28,623
If it wasn't the whore, who was it?
59
00:03:30,725 --> 00:03:31,860
Uh...
60
00:03:31,893 --> 00:03:34,195
I'm sorry this happened to
you on top of everything else.
61
00:03:34,229 --> 00:03:35,949
- It just...
- Do you want to talk?
62
00:03:36,431 --> 00:03:38,233
About what, the engagement?
We are talking about it.
63
00:03:38,266 --> 00:03:43,505
Also, how is Dan Broderick on
his knees in a bar newsworthy?
64
00:03:43,538 --> 00:03:46,741
What about jail, Betty?
It must've been terrible.
65
00:03:46,775 --> 00:03:49,644
Actually, it was interesting.
I made a lot of new friends.
66
00:03:52,380 --> 00:03:55,016
Hey, did you ever figure out an outfit
67
00:03:55,050 --> 00:03:56,318
for Tracy's graduation?
68
00:03:56,351 --> 00:03:57,965
Karen, did you find one for Scott's?
69
00:03:57,999 --> 00:04:00,755
Well, I thought I did, and it
looked great in the store,
70
00:04:00,789 --> 00:04:02,223
and it looked great in my walk-in,
71
00:04:02,257 --> 00:04:04,639
and then I go to answer
the phone wearing it,
72
00:04:04,699 --> 00:04:07,128
and I saw myself
in the hall mirror and died.
73
00:04:07,162 --> 00:04:09,030
Never look at yourself in the hall.
74
00:04:10,732 --> 00:04:12,694
Betty, what are you wearing?
75
00:04:13,501 --> 00:04:15,136
I wonder if she thinks she's coming.
76
00:04:15,170 --> 00:04:16,338
Who?
77
00:04:16,371 --> 00:04:19,407
Linda "The Whore" Kolkena,
to my daughter's graduation.
78
00:04:19,441 --> 00:04:22,911
Can't you just see her waltzing
her skinny ass right in there?
79
00:04:22,944 --> 00:04:25,624
All I can say is, if that happens,
80
00:04:27,215 --> 00:04:31,171
then I'll know the bastard has
really lost his goddamn mind.
81
00:04:37,425 --> 00:04:39,394
You were here before.
82
00:04:51,006 --> 00:04:53,508
Feature desk. This is Sid.
83
00:04:53,541 --> 00:04:55,369
Hi, Sid. It's Elisabeth Broderick.
84
00:04:55,423 --> 00:04:58,446
I was just given the date of
my property settlement hearing.
85
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,082
Well, that's good news, right?
86
00:05:01,116 --> 00:05:02,951
I don't know,
87
00:05:02,984 --> 00:05:05,120
but I decided I want
my side of the story out
88
00:05:05,153 --> 00:05:06,654
before it happens.
89
00:05:11,141 --> 00:05:19,142
Synced & corrected by -robtor-

90
00:05:22,322 --> 00:05:25,212
*** and sudenly walking out
91
00:05:25,237 --> 00:05:28,163
with a 19 year old and a red sports car.
92
00:05:28,196 --> 00:05:30,111
- Huh.
- The girlfriend, the Corvette,
93
00:05:30,145 --> 00:05:31,579
the "Risky Business" sunglasses,
94
00:05:31,613 --> 00:05:34,249
a cover boy for
"Midlife Crisis Magazine."
95
00:05:34,282 --> 00:05:37,070
"Cool, man, cool."
96
00:05:37,452 --> 00:05:40,115
I'd think it was hilarious
if it wasn't my husband.
97
00:05:40,522 --> 00:05:43,625
Well, you have a sense of humor about it.
98
00:05:43,658 --> 00:05:46,828
But so there might be
some people who could think
99
00:05:46,861 --> 00:05:48,696
your situation's not all that bad.
100
00:05:48,730 --> 00:05:52,033
- Didn't I meet you in jail?
- Well, that's true.
101
00:05:52,067 --> 00:05:53,968
I realize I'm lucky.
102
00:05:54,002 --> 00:05:55,922
I'm healthy.
103
00:05:56,504 --> 00:05:59,468
I have more than most people
will ever have in their life.
104
00:06:00,008 --> 00:06:02,077
But if Dan had defrauded
a business partner
105
00:06:02,110 --> 00:06:03,812
the way he did me
when he broke our contract,
106
00:06:03,845 --> 00:06:05,974
he'd be the one in jail, not me.
107
00:06:08,349 --> 00:06:11,352
Our first baby graduating,
108
00:06:11,386 --> 00:06:12,954
our baby who was there
with us on our honeymoon
109
00:06:12,987 --> 00:06:15,056
and we didn't even know it.
110
00:06:17,425 --> 00:06:19,227
What will he say?
111
00:06:19,260 --> 00:06:22,949
He'll have to say something,
today of all days.
112
00:06:25,166 --> 00:06:27,001
He'll talk to me. He'll be nice.
113
00:06:27,035 --> 00:06:28,670
He has to.
114
00:06:31,239 --> 00:06:33,541
He'll be nice to me today.
115
00:06:37,145 --> 00:06:40,148
Ladies and gentlemen, our new graduates.
116
00:06:41,749 --> 00:06:43,585
- Hi.
- Hi, sweetie!
117
00:06:49,224 --> 00:06:51,526
Oh, you're so pretty.
118
00:06:56,297 --> 00:06:57,365
Mom.
119
00:06:57,398 --> 00:07:00,135
I couldn't find you. Hi.
120
00:07:04,572 --> 00:07:06,660
How could he bring her here?
121
00:07:07,442 --> 00:07:08,949
I would...
122
00:07:08,996 --> 00:07:11,546
Did you try saying,
"This is a family event.
123
00:07:11,579 --> 00:07:14,616
"My mother is going
to see her daughter graduate,
124
00:07:14,649 --> 00:07:16,484
"and your presence will just detract
125
00:07:16,518 --> 00:07:17,932
"from the joy at my achievement
126
00:07:17,974 --> 00:07:19,621
"because everyone
will just be talking about
127
00:07:19,654 --> 00:07:22,724
how my father left us
for the tacky office slut."
128
00:07:24,092 --> 00:07:25,929
- I...
- Tell me I'm wrong.
129
00:07:26,846 --> 00:07:28,557
You can't.
130
00:07:29,330 --> 00:07:32,367
Oh, my God, Trace. Look at you.
131
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,736
- Are you just so proud, Betty?
- Hi, sweetie.
132
00:07:34,769 --> 00:07:39,574
Remember from church the two
of them in the Noah's Ark play?
133
00:07:39,607 --> 00:07:41,809
Oh, Fred has that camera.
Let me take a picture.
134
00:07:41,843 --> 00:07:44,646
- Oh, yeah, sure.
- Please.
135
00:07:44,679 --> 00:07:46,281
Here we go.
136
00:07:46,314 --> 00:07:50,818
Okay, ready? So beautiful.
137
00:08:16,177 --> 00:08:19,080
Congratulations.
138
00:08:40,001 --> 00:08:43,471
That Linda's outfit was tacky, um,
139
00:08:43,504 --> 00:08:45,673
and that you were tacky for bringing her,
140
00:08:45,707 --> 00:08:47,141
and a shithead.
141
00:08:47,175 --> 00:08:49,596
In general, or just for bringing her?
142
00:08:50,378 --> 00:08:53,348
And she never mentioned
anything about the engagement?
143
00:08:53,381 --> 00:08:54,849
Just the wedding china?
144
00:08:54,882 --> 00:08:57,185
Yeah, she just wants it back.
145
00:08:57,218 --> 00:08:59,087
- Hmm.
- She talked about it a lot.
146
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,490
Like, a lot.
147
00:09:02,523 --> 00:09:05,127
And you're sure that she didn't get it
148
00:09:05,167 --> 00:09:07,095
from the Coral Reef house?
149
00:09:07,128 --> 00:09:09,330
And she hasn't mentioned it
before, has she?
150
00:09:09,364 --> 00:09:11,566
I've never seen it on any
of her lists of asks.
151
00:09:11,599 --> 00:09:14,535
Hunter's coming. I'm gonna change.
152
00:09:17,238 --> 00:09:19,374
I mean, if we could find it,
it could buy us some peace.
153
00:09:19,407 --> 00:09:21,609
Why does she suddenly want it now?
154
00:09:21,643 --> 00:09:24,145
Oh, she just does. Why anything?
155
00:09:26,132 --> 00:09:28,850
Linda, she probably didn't have
any film in the camera.
156
00:09:28,883 --> 00:09:30,392
Of course she did.
157
00:09:30,433 --> 00:09:32,287
Okay, but so we're gonna go from that
158
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,156
to getting an alarm system for the house?
159
00:09:35,189 --> 00:09:37,358
She's gonna think she's
the master of mind control.
160
00:09:37,392 --> 00:09:38,926
How much do you think she's gonna love it
161
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,362
if we turn our house into a fortress
162
00:09:41,396 --> 00:09:43,097
because she pretended
to take some photos of you?
163
00:09:43,131 --> 00:09:45,833
It's not about that specifically.
164
00:09:45,867 --> 00:09:47,213
It's not just about that.
165
00:09:47,275 --> 00:09:48,736
Mm-hmm.
166
00:09:48,770 --> 00:09:52,273
Can't we get an alarm just to have one?
167
00:09:52,307 --> 00:09:55,743
Do we have to care if Betty
might love it if we do?
168
00:09:56,079 --> 00:09:58,713
No, but we have to care
about teaching her
169
00:09:58,746 --> 00:10:01,516
that she can get me to react.
170
00:10:01,835 --> 00:10:04,345
When I filed a claim,
not only did they say
171
00:10:04,378 --> 00:10:06,286
they weren't gonna pay me for one week,
172
00:10:06,324 --> 00:10:08,156
they docked me two years pay.
173
00:10:08,189 --> 00:10:11,159
So then I tried to file a complaint,
174
00:10:11,385 --> 00:10:14,455
but HR said since I was
no longer an employee,
175
00:10:14,488 --> 00:10:17,552
I had no standing to file anything.
176
00:10:17,587 --> 00:10:21,368
So then I just gave up.
177
00:10:21,420 --> 00:10:24,605
But with HALT, I finally
have people on my side.
178
00:10:27,902 --> 00:10:29,429
Thank you, Margaret.
179
00:10:29,468 --> 00:10:31,197
Thank you.
180
00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:34,642
Okay, everyone, uh,
let's take a quick break.
181
00:10:39,940 --> 00:10:42,041
Are you Elisabeth Broderick?
182
00:10:43,350 --> 00:10:44,485
I've heard about your case.
183
00:10:44,518 --> 00:10:45,532
You don't know the half of it.
184
00:10:45,579 --> 00:10:47,488
Well, I know you don't have a lawyer
185
00:10:47,521 --> 00:10:50,024
and that your ex-husband is one.
186
00:10:50,057 --> 00:10:53,394
And I know you have a lot
of kindred spirits in here.
187
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,369
Would you be willing
to talk to the group?
188
00:10:59,066 --> 00:11:01,602
Yeah? All right.
189
00:11:05,873 --> 00:11:07,875
Hey, everyone, this is Elisabeth.
190
00:11:07,908 --> 00:11:09,543
She's gonna talk now.
191
00:11:12,746 --> 00:11:14,548
Hi.
192
00:11:17,084 --> 00:11:20,246
I was married for 16 years,
and now I'm not.
193
00:11:21,255 --> 00:11:23,597
My husband hired a bimbo and
194
00:11:23,638 --> 00:11:25,197
told me he didn't want me anymore,
195
00:11:26,223 --> 00:11:30,064
after only a couple years
of lying to me about it every day first.
196
00:11:31,632 --> 00:11:34,034
He won't let me see my kids,
I don't have a settlement,
197
00:11:34,068 --> 00:11:35,669
and he fines me
when I call him a dickhead
198
00:11:35,703 --> 00:11:37,404
on his answering machine.
199
00:11:41,775 --> 00:11:43,811
But I'm sure things are gonna
start going my way
200
00:11:43,844 --> 00:11:46,080
now that he's president
of the San Diego Bar.
201
00:11:51,418 --> 00:11:53,587
Also, call me "Betty."
202
00:12:00,828 --> 00:12:02,796
When's the interview come out?
203
00:12:02,830 --> 00:12:04,878
Soon... I hope before the hearing,
204
00:12:04,912 --> 00:12:07,568
so if Dan tries to get
the courtroom closed,
205
00:12:07,601 --> 00:12:09,503
- people will know why.
- Hmm.
206
00:12:09,536 --> 00:12:11,238
What about an attorney? Any luck?
207
00:12:11,271 --> 00:12:13,273
You want to know what I've decided?
208
00:12:13,307 --> 00:12:15,142
- You ready?
- Mm-hmm.
209
00:12:17,945 --> 00:12:19,389
I'm gonna do it...
210
00:12:20,014 --> 00:12:21,815
Uh, appear, what's it, uh,
211
00:12:21,849 --> 00:12:23,751
pro se.
212
00:12:23,784 --> 00:12:25,419
Represent myself.
213
00:12:25,452 --> 00:12:26,580
Legalese.
214
00:12:26,615 --> 00:12:29,289
Why is "pro se" short
for "in propria persona?"
215
00:12:29,323 --> 00:12:31,291
Why isn't it "pro per?"
216
00:12:31,325 --> 00:12:33,827
Nobody knows better what a cheat Dan is.
217
00:12:33,861 --> 00:12:35,195
Nobody knows our history better.
218
00:12:35,229 --> 00:12:37,598
I will have him cornered
on the witness stand.
219
00:12:37,631 --> 00:12:39,667
He will have to go on record in public
220
00:12:39,700 --> 00:12:42,536
and say that he put me
in an asylum, put me in jail,
221
00:12:42,569 --> 00:12:46,173
left me for the office whore,
let my son get lice,
222
00:12:46,206 --> 00:12:48,375
where he was when our baby died.
223
00:12:50,411 --> 00:12:51,812
Hmm.
224
00:12:54,415 --> 00:12:57,184
Do you have any sense
how much you owe Dan
225
00:12:57,217 --> 00:12:59,386
in terms of Epsteins?
226
00:12:59,420 --> 00:13:00,518
Yeah, that is something
227
00:13:00,574 --> 00:13:02,189
I've been wondering about... Epsteins.
228
00:13:02,222 --> 00:13:03,791
Why do I have to reimburse Dan
229
00:13:03,824 --> 00:13:04,858
for the down payment on my house,
230
00:13:04,892 --> 00:13:06,994
when he doesn't have to
repay me for the one on his?
231
00:13:07,027 --> 00:13:09,663
We were married
when we bought both houses.
232
00:13:09,697 --> 00:13:11,252
Right. Yeah.
233
00:13:11,295 --> 00:13:13,500
So this is where the date
of separation comes in.
234
00:13:13,534 --> 00:13:15,636
From the day he moved out,
235
00:13:15,669 --> 00:13:19,339
divorced or not,
it's all his money, not yours.
236
00:13:19,373 --> 00:13:20,874
See, this is why
an accountant would help,
237
00:13:20,908 --> 00:13:22,476
and a lawyer of course,
238
00:13:22,509 --> 00:13:25,145
to go after Dan's tax returns,
his partnerships,
239
00:13:25,179 --> 00:13:26,880
get a list of the cases he worked on...
240
00:13:26,914 --> 00:13:28,649
Hilary asked for all of that.
241
00:13:28,682 --> 00:13:30,818
Do I have it? No.
242
00:13:30,851 --> 00:13:33,687
Besides, Dan's just gonna
doctor his books anyway.
243
00:13:33,721 --> 00:13:36,674
The only thing an attorney
ever did for me was lose.
244
00:13:37,257 --> 00:13:39,093
I can do that for free.
245
00:13:40,094 --> 00:13:41,628
Well,
246
00:13:41,662 --> 00:13:44,665
will you at least let me
help you try not to lose?
247
00:13:44,974 --> 00:13:46,233
Yes, I will.
248
00:13:56,276 --> 00:13:59,379
Hi. I'd like a copy of my file.
249
00:13:59,413 --> 00:14:01,749
- What's the caption?
- Of what?
250
00:14:01,782 --> 00:14:03,584
Broderick versus Broderick.
251
00:14:06,053 --> 00:14:07,554
Wow, you know the lingo.
252
00:14:07,588 --> 00:14:09,200
Well, in my divorce,
253
00:14:09,236 --> 00:14:10,484
the first hearing,
254
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,926
the judge yelled at me
for not wearing a dress.
255
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,161
He said in his courtroom,
256
00:14:14,194 --> 00:14:17,083
men needed to wear suits and
women needed to wear dresses.
257
00:14:17,126 --> 00:14:19,967
- What were you wearing?
- Liz Claiborne pants suit.
258
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,902
Nice. Why are we whispering?
259
00:14:21,935 --> 00:14:24,371
I... I don't know.
260
00:14:24,404 --> 00:14:25,906
It's not the library.
261
00:14:28,075 --> 00:14:30,544
File's not in the archive,
and it's not in the courtroom.
262
00:14:30,577 --> 00:14:32,412
I'll keep an eye out,
but I don't have it.
263
00:14:32,446 --> 00:14:33,580
Sorry.
264
00:14:37,017 --> 00:14:38,619
I've never heard of this happening,
265
00:14:38,652 --> 00:14:42,031
but we need to rebuild that file.
266
00:14:42,422 --> 00:14:44,658
But do you have motions
Dan and his attorneys filed,
267
00:14:44,691 --> 00:14:46,260
any summonses?
268
00:14:46,293 --> 00:14:48,246
I have all his letters.
269
00:14:48,595 --> 00:14:50,931
I have everything he ever wrote me.
270
00:14:52,338 --> 00:14:55,475
Calendar number one,
Broderick versus Broderick.
271
00:14:55,602 --> 00:14:57,137
The plaintiff, Daniel Broderick,
272
00:14:57,165 --> 00:15:00,073
is present with his attorney
Walter Mills.
273
00:15:00,107 --> 00:15:02,409
Also present is the defendant,
274
00:15:02,442 --> 00:15:04,411
Elisabeth Broderick,
275
00:15:04,444 --> 00:15:07,181
who is appearing pro se.
276
00:15:07,981 --> 00:15:10,484
Your Honor, I understand
the press are present today.
277
00:15:10,517 --> 00:15:12,452
My client has always been
deeply concerned
278
00:15:12,486 --> 00:15:14,018
of the negative impact
279
00:15:14,053 --> 00:15:16,123
that civil review
can have on his children,
280
00:15:16,156 --> 00:15:17,844
and so we would request
281
00:15:17,877 --> 00:15:20,460
that the courtroom
be closed to the public.
282
00:15:21,962 --> 00:15:23,397
Mrs. Broderick?
283
00:15:27,501 --> 00:15:31,305
I'm for opening it up
to everyone on principle.
284
00:15:31,338 --> 00:15:33,166
It's a public proceeding.
285
00:15:34,423 --> 00:15:36,285
I have nothing to hide.
286
00:15:36,310 --> 00:15:38,318
And if I'm such the awful,
287
00:15:38,352 --> 00:15:40,965
guilty person Dan paints me to be,
288
00:15:42,216 --> 00:15:45,452
why is he so afraid of people knowing it?
289
00:15:45,485 --> 00:15:47,054
Well, as an adult,
290
00:15:47,087 --> 00:15:50,016
Mr. Broderick can live
with the choices he's made.
291
00:15:50,357 --> 00:15:53,102
The issue here involves
your vulnerable children.
292
00:15:54,127 --> 00:15:55,863
I don't think it's only about
293
00:15:55,896 --> 00:15:57,364
hurting or not hurting my children.
294
00:15:57,397 --> 00:15:58,999
It's a terrible dilemma.
295
00:15:59,032 --> 00:16:01,869
If you demand an open proceeding,
296
00:16:01,902 --> 00:16:03,370
there is the inference that
297
00:16:03,403 --> 00:16:06,940
that is not an appropriate
parenting decision,
298
00:16:06,974 --> 00:16:09,443
which could adversely
affect your position
299
00:16:09,952 --> 00:16:11,454
in the custody matter.
300
00:16:12,192 --> 00:16:15,128
Whereas if you choose to have
the proceeding closed,
301
00:16:15,415 --> 00:16:18,452
you may be sacrificing
your own personal needs
302
00:16:18,485 --> 00:16:20,420
as you believe them to be.
303
00:16:24,791 --> 00:16:26,960
Yes, okay.
304
00:16:28,428 --> 00:16:30,598
Close it, please.
305
00:16:31,231 --> 00:16:32,299
Close it.
306
00:16:34,701 --> 00:16:37,504
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
please clear the court.
307
00:16:54,775 --> 00:16:57,115
Besides custody
of the minor marital children,
308
00:16:57,140 --> 00:16:59,339
Your Honor will face a problem
of major proportions
309
00:16:59,363 --> 00:17:01,582
when attempting to determine
a settlement of property
310
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,172
in this case.
311
00:17:03,664 --> 00:17:06,066
In addition, the issue
of spousal support promises
312
00:17:06,099 --> 00:17:09,336
to entail significant argument,
but I'm confident
313
00:17:09,369 --> 00:17:11,772
that with testimony
and evidence submitted,
314
00:17:11,805 --> 00:17:13,774
Your Honor will find in favor
of Mr. Broderick.
315
00:17:13,807 --> 00:17:15,351
Thank you.
316
00:17:15,842 --> 00:17:17,878
Mrs. Broderick,
317
00:17:17,911 --> 00:17:20,080
would you like to make
your opening statement now
318
00:17:20,113 --> 00:17:22,449
or wait until you begin your case?
319
00:17:22,482 --> 00:17:24,985
Isn't... isn't this the beginning?
320
00:17:29,883 --> 00:17:31,742
I don't have one prepared.
321
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,704
I can make one.
322
00:17:39,166 --> 00:17:41,127
I'm happy to be here
323
00:17:41,668 --> 00:17:45,590
to get some resolution in this case,
324
00:17:46,006 --> 00:17:49,135
get back some semblance of normalcy
325
00:17:49,643 --> 00:17:52,279
in a life that feels like
it's been under siege
326
00:17:52,312 --> 00:17:53,848
for years.
327
00:17:53,873 --> 00:17:57,943
My support, I would just like
to be able to go on living.
328
00:17:58,185 --> 00:18:00,454
I would like what's fair,
what takes into account
329
00:18:00,487 --> 00:18:03,523
in some way my contribution.
330
00:18:06,540 --> 00:18:09,655
So I hope that we can settle something.
331
00:18:10,497 --> 00:18:11,991
Thank you.
332
00:18:12,598 --> 00:18:15,601
Yes, I do have many
investment properties,
333
00:18:15,626 --> 00:18:17,762
especially in Colorado,
but with the collapse
334
00:18:17,787 --> 00:18:20,924
of oil values earlier
in this decade and Colorado
335
00:18:20,949 --> 00:18:23,418
being an energy state,
their value shrunk.
336
00:18:23,543 --> 00:18:25,445
I don't like it,
I'm sure Bets doesn't like it,
337
00:18:25,479 --> 00:18:26,580
but that's it.
338
00:18:26,613 --> 00:18:30,250
All of my wealth really
is in my law practice,
339
00:18:30,283 --> 00:18:35,455
which, uh, I've had evaluated,
and if the court agrees,
340
00:18:35,489 --> 00:18:38,759
I intend to offer Bets half that value.
341
00:18:40,093 --> 00:18:44,131
Would you say that
once you achieved success,
342
00:18:44,164 --> 00:18:46,400
Mrs. Broderick was happy?
343
00:18:46,433 --> 00:18:49,195
The more money I made,
the more she spent.
344
00:18:49,503 --> 00:18:51,538
But no, she was never satisfied.
345
00:18:51,571 --> 00:18:53,673
If it was expensive, she needed it.
346
00:18:53,707 --> 00:18:55,642
How would you describe the support that
347
00:18:55,675 --> 00:18:56,843
Mrs. Broderick provided you
348
00:18:56,877 --> 00:18:58,111
when you began your legal career?
349
00:18:58,145 --> 00:19:00,539
- Nonexistent.
- How would describe
350
00:19:00,571 --> 00:19:03,350
Mrs. Broderick's itemized expenses
351
00:19:03,383 --> 00:19:06,553
that she's using as the basis
for her support allocation?
352
00:19:06,586 --> 00:19:08,855
- Outrageous.
- Would you characterize
353
00:19:08,889 --> 00:19:12,009
Mrs. Broderick as driven by greed?
354
00:19:12,692 --> 00:19:14,628
Yes, and frankly,
355
00:19:14,661 --> 00:19:17,230
I'm gonna have to tighten
my expenses very soon...
356
00:19:17,264 --> 00:19:19,833
Not just with a daughter
going to college,
357
00:19:19,866 --> 00:19:22,202
but I am getting remarried,
358
00:19:22,235 --> 00:19:23,975
starting a new family.
359
00:19:24,009 --> 00:19:26,431
I anticipate there will be expenses
360
00:19:26,473 --> 00:19:28,192
in connection with that.
361
00:19:28,909 --> 00:19:31,511
Mr. Montgomery,
it's Elisabeth Broderick again.
362
00:19:31,545 --> 00:19:35,348
I was just calling
about the article again,
363
00:19:35,382 --> 00:19:37,517
when it's coming out?
364
00:19:37,551 --> 00:19:39,662
It should've happened by now,
don't you think?
365
00:19:40,186 --> 00:19:42,957
Please let me know. Thanks.
366
00:19:45,625 --> 00:19:47,260
Come here.
367
00:19:53,467 --> 00:19:54,844
Where were you?
368
00:19:55,268 --> 00:19:56,970
The movies. Remember?
369
00:19:57,003 --> 00:19:59,557
I remember it started at 6:25.
370
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:01,942
What are you doing?
371
00:20:01,975 --> 00:20:05,187
Preparing to examine a witness.
372
00:20:05,879 --> 00:20:07,773
You are? What witness?
373
00:20:08,315 --> 00:20:09,544
Dad?
374
00:20:11,585 --> 00:20:13,154
Shit.
375
00:20:14,254 --> 00:20:15,781
Wow.
376
00:20:16,289 --> 00:20:17,700
Okay.
377
00:20:19,493 --> 00:20:21,428
What movie did you see again?
378
00:20:21,620 --> 00:20:23,130
"Scrooged."
379
00:20:23,163 --> 00:20:24,373
Oh, yeah?
380
00:20:24,831 --> 00:20:26,032
Come over here where I can see you.
381
00:20:26,066 --> 00:20:27,601
- Why, what's your deal?
- Do it.
382
00:20:27,634 --> 00:20:29,202
Or you're grounded.
383
00:20:35,976 --> 00:20:37,777
Now you're grounded for whatever it was
384
00:20:37,811 --> 00:20:39,813
you were really doing.
385
00:20:47,687 --> 00:20:51,691
You know, when you examine Dad,
386
00:20:51,725 --> 00:20:53,560
you should ask about all the nicknames
387
00:20:53,593 --> 00:20:54,987
he and Linda call you.
388
00:20:55,529 --> 00:20:59,065
"Crazy," obviously,
389
00:20:59,658 --> 00:21:01,827
and "the monster,"
390
00:21:03,537 --> 00:21:05,456
and "the beast."
391
00:21:06,973 --> 00:21:08,775
Your Honor, I don't have
any firsthand knowledge
392
00:21:08,808 --> 00:21:11,645
of the numbers presented by
Mr. Broderick and Mr. Mills.
393
00:21:11,678 --> 00:21:14,981
Nor do I know the law
or really the rules of trial.
394
00:21:15,015 --> 00:21:17,517
But I'll do my best to play the game,
395
00:21:17,551 --> 00:21:20,587
and if you'll just let me know
396
00:21:20,620 --> 00:21:22,622
if I'm making any mistakes along the way.
397
00:21:32,632 --> 00:21:34,360
Mr. Broderick,
398
00:21:35,969 --> 00:21:37,863
when did this case start?
399
00:21:38,084 --> 00:21:40,153
February 28th, 1985.
400
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,368
Oh, is that when you think it was?
401
00:21:43,043 --> 00:21:45,178
At our separation, is that what you mean?
402
00:21:45,212 --> 00:21:46,664
It isn't.
403
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,283
When was the moment
this divorce really started?
404
00:21:51,885 --> 00:21:54,788
April 12th, 1969.
405
00:21:56,102 --> 00:21:58,804
And what's the relevance
of that date for the record?
406
00:22:00,493 --> 00:22:03,973
That was the date
we got married, Your Honor.
407
00:22:09,977 --> 00:22:13,852
What I'm trying to get at
by asking "When did it start,"
408
00:22:13,877 --> 00:22:15,712
is when did I first become aware
409
00:22:15,737 --> 00:22:17,205
of your affair with Linda Kolkena?
410
00:22:17,310 --> 00:22:19,012
Objection. Relevance.
411
00:22:19,045 --> 00:22:20,531
Sustained.
412
00:22:21,047 --> 00:22:23,416
In California, Mrs. Broderick,
413
00:22:23,450 --> 00:22:27,454
as I'm sure you're aware,
we recognize no-fault divorce.
414
00:22:27,487 --> 00:22:29,589
Therefore the issue here today
415
00:22:29,623 --> 00:22:32,659
is not one of whose fault
the divorce was.
416
00:22:32,692 --> 00:22:34,027
We are only here
417
00:22:34,060 --> 00:22:37,364
to decide the question
of division of property,
418
00:22:37,397 --> 00:22:39,499
the assets of the community,
419
00:22:39,532 --> 00:22:41,606
and to determine the appropriate parent
420
00:22:41,639 --> 00:22:43,383
for the custody of the minor children.
421
00:22:43,426 --> 00:22:46,606
I was manipulated purposely
and with malice
422
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,510
before this case was even filed
by an expert attorney.
423
00:22:50,543 --> 00:22:52,812
I'm trying to show how...
424
00:22:52,846 --> 00:22:56,149
How Dan cut me off
from our community assets
425
00:22:56,182 --> 00:22:59,953
from the start of his affair
with Linda Kolkena.
426
00:22:59,986 --> 00:23:04,139
Then see if there isn't
anything to develop
427
00:23:04,178 --> 00:23:05,992
that relates to the assets.
428
00:23:06,026 --> 00:23:08,278
You must refer to the assets,
429
00:23:08,335 --> 00:23:12,065
not to any alleged affair, okay?
430
00:23:12,098 --> 00:23:14,934
Okay. Thank you, Your Honor.
431
00:23:18,538 --> 00:23:20,740
Remember what my reaction was
when you hired this girl?
432
00:23:20,774 --> 00:23:22,075
Objection. Relevance.
433
00:23:22,108 --> 00:23:23,743
Sustained.
434
00:23:23,777 --> 00:23:26,346
You're still in the area of fault.
435
00:23:27,814 --> 00:23:30,350
Do you remember me telling you,
436
00:23:30,383 --> 00:23:32,886
"Fire your assistant
or get out of this house?"
437
00:23:32,919 --> 00:23:34,681
- Objection.
- Sustained.
438
00:23:34,719 --> 00:23:35,655
Wait...
439
00:23:35,689 --> 00:23:38,124
Stay away from the alleged affair.
440
00:23:38,158 --> 00:23:40,778
I cannot be more clear, okay?
441
00:23:41,561 --> 00:23:43,763
You want me to just
change the whole subject?
442
00:23:43,797 --> 00:23:45,999
- Will that make you happy?
- Yes, ma'am.
443
00:23:49,536 --> 00:23:52,906
Do you remember how we lived
when we first got married?
444
00:23:52,939 --> 00:23:55,041
- In New York?
- Yeah.
445
00:23:55,075 --> 00:23:58,078
How we lived mostly on my salary,
446
00:23:58,111 --> 00:24:00,246
how we went through my savings?
447
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,549
I remember you had a small nest egg
448
00:24:02,582 --> 00:24:05,085
from babysitting, I think it was.
449
00:24:05,427 --> 00:24:07,787
You remember how hard it was?
450
00:24:07,821 --> 00:24:10,790
All the jobs I had,
even after I was pregnant?
451
00:24:10,824 --> 00:24:14,260
I remember you had
various odd jobs, Tupperware,
452
00:24:14,294 --> 00:24:17,197
the one from the department
store on the holidays,
453
00:24:17,230 --> 00:24:19,432
but I don't recall them
being particularly helpful.
454
00:24:19,466 --> 00:24:22,068
You're saying we weren't poor?
455
00:24:22,102 --> 00:24:23,803
Did we ever have to go on food stamps?
456
00:24:23,837 --> 00:24:24,771
I don't know.
457
00:24:24,804 --> 00:24:26,806
We got food stamps once or twice.
458
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,994
You remember we didn't have
a crib when Tracy was born?
459
00:24:30,577 --> 00:24:31,578
What? No, I don't.
460
00:24:31,611 --> 00:24:33,998
You don't remember we didn't have a crib?
461
00:24:35,014 --> 00:24:39,119
From my memory, in my mind, uh,
462
00:24:39,152 --> 00:24:41,721
these were... It was a busy time.
463
00:24:41,755 --> 00:24:46,192
We were stretched but we
always came through all right.
464
00:24:55,935 --> 00:24:57,646
Oh, yeah.
465
00:24:58,772 --> 00:25:00,273
Did I support you financially
466
00:25:00,306 --> 00:25:02,175
while you were in medical school?
467
00:25:02,208 --> 00:25:04,744
You contributed to the upkeep
of the household, yes.
468
00:25:04,778 --> 00:25:06,079
Why would I do that?
469
00:25:06,112 --> 00:25:08,114
I assume it was an investment
470
00:25:08,148 --> 00:25:12,152
in your future as the wife
of a wealthy doctor.
471
00:25:12,185 --> 00:25:14,120
You're saying I only did it for myself?
472
00:25:16,122 --> 00:25:18,291
Is that what you thought at the time?
473
00:25:19,726 --> 00:25:21,361
I was busy at the time.
474
00:25:21,394 --> 00:25:24,030
If I was so invested in being
a wealthy doctor's wife,
475
00:25:24,063 --> 00:25:25,131
how'd you convince me to agree
476
00:25:25,165 --> 00:25:27,133
to the idea of you going to law school?
477
00:25:27,167 --> 00:25:30,170
Well, I told you that
478
00:25:30,203 --> 00:25:34,007
I could make more money
as a lawyer with an MD.
479
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,443
Did you contribute
to our household income
480
00:25:36,476 --> 00:25:37,944
while you were in law school?
481
00:25:37,977 --> 00:25:39,913
No, you did not. Did I?
482
00:25:39,946 --> 00:25:43,116
- We took out loans.
- For tuition.
483
00:25:43,152 --> 00:25:44,735
But yes,
484
00:25:45,685 --> 00:25:49,589
you did get some money
in between pregnancies.
485
00:25:52,125 --> 00:25:54,761
When did you first start
telling our children
486
00:25:54,794 --> 00:25:56,563
that I was mentally ill?
487
00:25:56,596 --> 00:25:58,164
I don't recall putting it that way.
488
00:25:58,198 --> 00:25:59,966
When I would confront you with questions
489
00:25:59,999 --> 00:26:03,036
about a certain party,
490
00:26:03,069 --> 00:26:05,171
wasn't your answer that I was crazy?
491
00:26:05,205 --> 00:26:07,299
Could you be more specific?
492
00:26:08,174 --> 00:26:10,143
Were you seen out and around town
493
00:26:10,176 --> 00:26:12,779
with Linda Kolkena in 1983?
494
00:26:12,812 --> 00:26:14,080
Objection.
495
00:26:14,113 --> 00:26:15,348
Mrs. Broderick, you've been warned.
496
00:26:15,381 --> 00:26:17,417
Okay, but this isn't an issue of fault.
497
00:26:17,450 --> 00:26:19,886
His only grounds for keeping
the kids is his claim
498
00:26:19,919 --> 00:26:22,055
that I need psychiatric help.
499
00:26:22,088 --> 00:26:25,225
He submitted reports to you, audio tapes
500
00:26:25,258 --> 00:26:27,026
claiming I'm a mental case,
that I'm crazy.
501
00:26:27,060 --> 00:26:28,561
I'm just trying to prove that I'm not.
502
00:26:28,595 --> 00:26:30,930
I'm trying to establish
503
00:26:30,964 --> 00:26:33,433
why I might've been angry
at the time that...
504
00:26:33,466 --> 00:26:38,404
Mr. Broderick's outside
activities are not assistive
505
00:26:38,438 --> 00:26:41,407
to your present ability to parent.
506
00:26:41,441 --> 00:26:43,142
Sustained.
507
00:26:46,646 --> 00:26:49,449
An Epstein credit ensures
one spouse will be reimbursed
508
00:26:49,482 --> 00:26:53,920
by the other for expenses
or debts after separation.
509
00:26:53,953 --> 00:26:55,588
Haven't you dragged out payments
510
00:26:55,622 --> 00:26:56,623
and encumbered properties
511
00:26:56,656 --> 00:26:58,525
in order to increase my Epsteins to you?
512
00:26:58,558 --> 00:27:00,026
- No, I have not.
- Why else wouldn't you
513
00:27:00,059 --> 00:27:04,297
have paid off the lake house
or the Colorado properties?
514
00:27:04,330 --> 00:27:07,967
Why haven't you paid back
your Harvard Law School loans?
515
00:27:08,001 --> 00:27:10,570
Why did you charge me
half of these payments
516
00:27:10,603 --> 00:27:13,139
two years after you left me?
517
00:27:13,172 --> 00:27:16,342
I pay my bills automatically every month.
518
00:27:16,376 --> 00:27:20,947
I've been paying for Harvard
on a monthly basis since 1974.
519
00:27:20,980 --> 00:27:24,551
I just kept doing it, uh, out of habit.
520
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,221
If you're insinuating
that this is some kind of plot,
521
00:27:28,254 --> 00:27:30,423
I didn't learn about Epstein credits
522
00:27:30,456 --> 00:27:33,126
until long after our separation.
523
00:27:33,159 --> 00:27:34,961
Wasn't your first lawyer Doug Layton,
524
00:27:34,994 --> 00:27:36,930
an expert on Epsteins?
525
00:27:36,963 --> 00:27:39,999
Mrs. Broderick,
you misunderstand the point.
526
00:27:40,033 --> 00:27:41,200
I don't think I do.
527
00:27:41,234 --> 00:27:45,338
Mr. Broderick either paid
your expenses or he didn't,
528
00:27:45,371 --> 00:27:48,358
and you're looking for
skeletons where there are none.
529
00:27:49,275 --> 00:27:51,411
Dan, as I was looking through
boxes of papers,
530
00:27:51,444 --> 00:27:54,364
I happened on
two bank withdrawals you made,
531
00:27:54,948 --> 00:27:58,284
one for $175,000 closing out an account,
532
00:27:58,318 --> 00:28:02,121
and one for $80,000 emptying another one,
533
00:28:02,155 --> 00:28:05,792
both in February 1985.
534
00:28:05,825 --> 00:28:09,028
Both before you left me.
535
00:28:09,062 --> 00:28:11,064
On those days, you withdrew that money
536
00:28:11,097 --> 00:28:14,384
February 5th and February 22nd.
537
00:28:15,113 --> 00:28:19,251
Did you know you'd be
leaving me on February 28th?
538
00:28:19,276 --> 00:28:21,211
No.
539
00:28:21,236 --> 00:28:25,907
But yet you closed out
two accounts that I know of.
540
00:28:26,045 --> 00:28:28,715
How did that money affect the
valuation of your law practice?
541
00:28:28,748 --> 00:28:31,217
'Cause it wasn't included
in the appraisal.
542
00:28:33,653 --> 00:28:35,688
It should have.
543
00:28:35,722 --> 00:28:38,784
Uh, those figures
should have been adjusted.
544
00:28:39,385 --> 00:28:40,953
Upward.
545
00:28:42,695 --> 00:28:46,165
Your Honor, uh, at which point in time
546
00:28:46,199 --> 00:28:49,035
will you be valuing Dan's law practice?
547
00:28:49,068 --> 00:28:51,671
At the time of separation four years ago,
548
00:28:51,704 --> 00:28:53,573
or at the current time?
549
00:28:53,606 --> 00:28:57,310
Well, the community asset
can be valued either/or.
550
00:28:57,719 --> 00:28:59,712
But you get to decide which.
551
00:28:59,746 --> 00:29:01,648
That is true.
552
00:29:01,681 --> 00:29:02,882
When?
553
00:29:02,915 --> 00:29:06,185
When the case is ended,
uh, based on the facts
554
00:29:06,219 --> 00:29:08,154
and the circumstances presented.
555
00:29:08,187 --> 00:29:09,922
Hmm. Okay.
556
00:29:09,956 --> 00:29:11,591
The appraiser hired by Mr. Broderick
557
00:29:11,624 --> 00:29:15,928
valued the practice
on February 28th, 1985.
558
00:29:15,962 --> 00:29:17,664
I didn't find anything in the record
559
00:29:17,697 --> 00:29:22,869
evaluating its current worth,
so you only have the "either."
560
00:29:22,902 --> 00:29:25,004
You don't actually have the "or."
561
00:29:25,038 --> 00:29:26,873
That is true.
562
00:29:28,074 --> 00:29:30,335
Is that my responsibility to get?
563
00:29:30,943 --> 00:29:32,296
Correct.
564
00:29:33,780 --> 00:29:38,384
So do I need an expert,
or do I just ask Mr. Broderick?
565
00:29:38,418 --> 00:29:41,087
Well, you can ask Mr. Broderick
566
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,456
the question you want to ask,
567
00:29:43,489 --> 00:29:46,526
and to the extent he knows the answer,
568
00:29:46,810 --> 00:29:48,795
we'll hear what he has to say.
569
00:29:53,499 --> 00:29:56,602
Can you explain why
the value of your practice...
570
00:29:56,636 --> 00:29:59,272
The cases, the hardware,
the computers, the cars,
571
00:29:59,305 --> 00:30:02,975
the pension, everything,
comes out to less in value
572
00:30:03,009 --> 00:30:05,812
than what you earn in a single year?
573
00:30:05,845 --> 00:30:08,981
- Objection.
- Sustained.
574
00:30:09,015 --> 00:30:11,050
Argumentative.
575
00:30:11,084 --> 00:30:14,287
Jeez. Really?
576
00:30:16,856 --> 00:30:19,125
The night you left our house,
what did you say to me?
577
00:30:19,325 --> 00:30:22,995
- What did I...
- February 28, 1985,
578
00:30:23,029 --> 00:30:24,330
you said you were leaving because
579
00:30:24,363 --> 00:30:27,726
you needed time to think about your life.
580
00:30:28,267 --> 00:30:29,368
- I said...
- What about your life,
581
00:30:29,402 --> 00:30:32,805
you couldn't say,
but is it not true that that...
582
00:30:32,839 --> 00:30:34,307
I said I am leaving you,
583
00:30:34,340 --> 00:30:36,442
that we can't live together anymore,
584
00:30:36,476 --> 00:30:39,612
that it's been too bad
for too long between us.
585
00:30:39,645 --> 00:30:42,515
It doesn't work. I have to go.
586
00:30:43,716 --> 00:30:45,651
At any point did you use the word
587
00:30:45,685 --> 00:30:48,788
- "separation" or "divorce?"
- No.
588
00:30:48,821 --> 00:30:52,525
Because I hadn't decided to do that yet.
589
00:30:57,530 --> 00:31:00,933
I don't know when I first concluded
590
00:31:00,967 --> 00:31:02,935
that you have emotional problems,
591
00:31:02,969 --> 00:31:05,338
but it was a long time ago.
592
00:31:07,139 --> 00:31:09,875
I understand your anger.
I understand your hatred.
593
00:31:09,900 --> 00:31:11,046
Yeah, you understand,
594
00:31:11,071 --> 00:31:14,815
yet you drag me through
the legal system for years.
595
00:31:15,448 --> 00:31:17,109
And now here we are.
596
00:31:18,684 --> 00:31:20,853
After everything I've given you,
597
00:31:20,887 --> 00:31:22,522
after everything you have,
598
00:31:22,555 --> 00:31:25,358
I don't think you have a
legitimate basis for complaint.
599
00:31:25,391 --> 00:31:27,794
But I also don't think
there's any amount of money
600
00:31:27,827 --> 00:31:29,228
that's going to be enough for you.
601
00:31:30,296 --> 00:31:33,699
You want to destroy me,
over and done with,
602
00:31:33,733 --> 00:31:36,169
and unless and until that happens,
603
00:31:36,202 --> 00:31:38,004
you're not going to be happy.
604
00:31:48,581 --> 00:31:51,384
Did the end of our marriage
605
00:31:51,417 --> 00:31:54,320
have anything to do with Linda Kolkena?
606
00:31:54,353 --> 00:31:57,023
Linda Kolkena had nothing to do
607
00:31:57,056 --> 00:31:59,325
with the end of that marriage.
608
00:32:06,199 --> 00:32:08,785
I have nothing else. Thank you.
609
00:32:09,635 --> 00:32:11,504
Your Honor, Mrs. Broderick has asked for
610
00:32:11,537 --> 00:32:14,106
$25,000 a month for ten years,
611
00:32:14,140 --> 00:32:17,743
a million dollar tax repayment,
custody of the minor children,
612
00:32:17,777 --> 00:32:20,179
and reimbursement of attorney fees.
613
00:32:20,213 --> 00:32:21,647
Now, I would ask Your Honor to recognize
614
00:32:21,681 --> 00:32:23,282
that Mrs. Broderick
knows no spending limits
615
00:32:23,316 --> 00:32:27,012
and that her expenses
are emotional blackmail.
616
00:32:27,879 --> 00:32:30,115
Now, Daniel Broderick has risen to wealth
617
00:32:30,140 --> 00:32:32,976
through hard work and God-given talent,
618
00:32:33,125 --> 00:32:35,928
and he is being more generous
than most would be in conceding
619
00:32:35,962 --> 00:32:39,365
that his wife might need
$9,000 a month for a year
620
00:32:39,398 --> 00:32:42,602
and $5,000 a month
for two years after that,
621
00:32:42,635 --> 00:32:44,570
and though the children's
obvious affection
622
00:32:44,604 --> 00:32:47,707
for their mother
must warrant some visitation,
623
00:32:47,740 --> 00:32:49,642
custody should go to Mr. Broderick.
624
00:32:49,675 --> 00:32:53,546
It is for Mrs. Broderick's own
good to limit her settlement.
625
00:32:53,579 --> 00:32:55,615
If Your Honor makes
an artificially high award,
626
00:32:55,648 --> 00:32:58,317
you really cripple her,
and in fact, it'll provide
627
00:32:58,351 --> 00:33:00,086
a lack of incentive
to contribute to herself
628
00:33:00,119 --> 00:33:04,800
when she is clearly a woman
of formidable abilities.
629
00:33:05,424 --> 00:33:07,793
Only consider her performance
in this trial.
630
00:33:11,931 --> 00:33:13,232
Thank you.
631
00:33:25,177 --> 00:33:27,246
Mr. Broderick was low enough
to put to this court
632
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,951
that our divorce started
the day we were married.
633
00:33:32,985 --> 00:33:35,755
So I will argue that, too, I guess.
634
00:33:35,788 --> 00:33:37,790
I wanted a husband and a family.
635
00:33:37,823 --> 00:33:40,793
Dan needed a wife that could wait on him,
636
00:33:40,826 --> 00:33:43,763
have sex with him, have his family,
637
00:33:43,796 --> 00:33:46,383
and run his home
while he worked all the time.
638
00:33:46,699 --> 00:33:49,302
We were equal partners
until we got wealthy
639
00:33:49,335 --> 00:33:53,306
when Dan then considered
his earnings his sole property.
640
00:33:53,739 --> 00:33:56,409
I think I've been very generous
in letting Mr. Broderick
641
00:33:56,442 --> 00:33:58,177
calculate the value of everything.
642
00:33:58,210 --> 00:33:59,412
We have so much money,
643
00:33:59,445 --> 00:34:02,548
more than enough to keep him
and his new family happy
644
00:34:02,581 --> 00:34:04,817
and the family we have happy too.
645
00:34:04,850 --> 00:34:06,024
If I get the children,
646
00:34:06,048 --> 00:34:09,695
I don't want them to have to give
up their schools, music lessons,
647
00:34:09,720 --> 00:34:12,174
trips, things that are important to them
648
00:34:12,925 --> 00:34:15,962
that we made important to them,
but at this stage of life,
649
00:34:15,995 --> 00:34:19,749
I can hardly hope to match
Dan Broderick's earning power.
650
00:34:21,067 --> 00:34:23,211
I hope I can get any job.
651
00:34:24,937 --> 00:34:27,674
Everyone wants a kitten.
No one wants a cat.
652
00:34:28,708 --> 00:34:31,219
So I hope Your Honor will remember
653
00:34:31,244 --> 00:34:34,013
that Mr. Broderick's God-given talents
654
00:34:34,038 --> 00:34:37,309
have been showcased
by his medical and law degrees,
655
00:34:39,051 --> 00:34:42,522
which over many years
of sacrifice in my youth,
656
00:34:42,820 --> 00:34:44,774
I helped to pay for.
657
00:34:45,558 --> 00:34:49,362
Me, not God.
658
00:34:55,868 --> 00:34:58,170
The court will be recessed until the 30th
659
00:34:58,204 --> 00:35:00,306
when I will render my decision.
660
00:35:00,339 --> 00:35:02,375
Thank you, everyone.
661
00:35:20,726 --> 00:35:23,562
- This is Sid.
- This isn't an interview.
662
00:35:23,596 --> 00:35:25,464
It just talks about
our hearing being closed.
663
00:35:25,498 --> 00:35:27,333
What happened to everything
we talked about?
664
00:35:27,366 --> 00:35:29,735
I asked Dan for his rebuttal.
665
00:35:29,769 --> 00:35:32,104
He asked to sit down with me.
666
00:35:32,138 --> 00:35:33,406
Well...
667
00:35:34,573 --> 00:35:36,208
Okay, so then where is it?
668
00:35:36,242 --> 00:35:38,444
There's hardly even any quotes in here.
669
00:35:38,477 --> 00:35:39,879
Well, because after we were done,
670
00:35:39,912 --> 00:35:43,166
he threatened to sue me
for invasion of privacy.
671
00:35:43,883 --> 00:35:45,117
Well...
672
00:35:45,151 --> 00:35:47,787
Why did he even want to sit
down with you at all then?
673
00:35:47,820 --> 00:35:50,556
I think he thought he could convince me
674
00:35:50,589 --> 00:35:53,134
none of any of it was worth my time.
675
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:55,961
"It's never going to be over for me.
676
00:35:55,995 --> 00:35:57,096
"I know that.
677
00:35:57,129 --> 00:35:59,565
It's not going to end
until one of us is gone."
678
00:35:59,598 --> 00:36:01,200
He let you quote him on that I guess,
679
00:36:01,233 --> 00:36:02,535
whatever it's supposed to mean.
680
00:36:02,568 --> 00:36:06,172
Well, I actually asked him
what it meant, and he said,
681
00:36:06,205 --> 00:36:09,508
"Because she'll probably be
asking for support for life.
682
00:36:09,542 --> 00:36:13,045
But also because you...
You can't let go."
683
00:36:16,015 --> 00:36:17,156
Maybe I'm crazy,
684
00:36:17,187 --> 00:36:19,151
but I can finally imagine it
after so long,
685
00:36:19,185 --> 00:36:21,987
having support from a court
I can rely on,
686
00:36:22,021 --> 00:36:24,623
him not being able to fine me anymore,
687
00:36:24,657 --> 00:36:26,158
my kids,
688
00:36:26,192 --> 00:36:27,794
a nice job,
689
00:36:28,260 --> 00:36:29,928
a life of my own.
690
00:36:29,968 --> 00:36:31,430
Job? What job is this?
691
00:36:31,464 --> 00:36:34,733
Hmm. I saw an ad.
692
00:36:34,767 --> 00:36:37,403
The preschool Liz Beale's
little girls went to,
693
00:36:37,436 --> 00:36:39,171
a teaching assistant.
694
00:36:39,205 --> 00:36:40,940
And you applied for it?
695
00:36:40,973 --> 00:36:42,775
No, I start the 12th.
696
00:36:42,808 --> 00:36:45,878
And... and it's a done deal? You're in?
697
00:36:47,259 --> 00:36:50,396
I... I'm glad. That's so great.
698
00:36:54,906 --> 00:36:56,775
Why is it "so great?"
699
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,928
I just want to say
that I never believed it
700
00:37:02,962 --> 00:37:04,096
for a minute, never.
701
00:37:04,130 --> 00:37:06,866
I have been more worried
that you would hear about it somewhere,
702
00:37:06,899 --> 00:37:08,934
and now you're suddenly talking
about this preschool job,
703
00:37:08,968 --> 00:37:11,254
- and that it would come out...
- Marie.
704
00:37:11,804 --> 00:37:14,373
At the drycleaners, I saw Peter,
705
00:37:14,406 --> 00:37:15,975
my lawyer from my divorce,
706
00:37:16,008 --> 00:37:20,012
and we were just talking about all of it.
707
00:37:20,045 --> 00:37:21,213
Mm-hmm.
708
00:37:21,247 --> 00:37:23,308
And he did say...
709
00:37:23,916 --> 00:37:26,770
He heard that your courtroom was sealed
710
00:37:27,820 --> 00:37:29,522
because you're a child molester.
711
00:37:33,959 --> 00:37:35,961
You've attacked and destroyed me,
712
00:37:35,995 --> 00:37:38,063
my home, my possessions, and my family,
713
00:37:38,097 --> 00:37:41,667
and you continue to repeatedly
attack, steal, and destroy.
714
00:37:41,700 --> 00:37:44,204
You are the sickest person alive.
715
00:37:45,104 --> 00:37:46,706
No one will mourn you.
716
00:37:47,740 --> 00:37:49,441
That's how long it's been
since you've been here.
717
00:37:49,475 --> 00:37:52,212
No one even remembers
718
00:37:52,591 --> 00:37:55,394
that I smashed my car into his door.
719
00:37:59,685 --> 00:38:01,820
Obviously, I'd pay for your airfare.
720
00:38:01,854 --> 00:38:04,432
That's not necessary, Betty Anne.
721
00:38:06,058 --> 00:38:07,685
Just to have you here?
722
00:38:09,028 --> 00:38:11,564
Just to show the judge that I'm not this
723
00:38:11,931 --> 00:38:13,775
alone person,
724
00:38:15,935 --> 00:38:17,703
that I'm part of a family that cares?
725
00:38:17,736 --> 00:38:18,971
That would just be so...
726
00:38:19,004 --> 00:38:22,241
Look, your father and I
don't wanna be a part of this,
727
00:38:22,274 --> 00:38:24,243
whether you win or you don't.
728
00:38:24,276 --> 00:38:27,780
To begin with the division
of the marital assets,
729
00:38:27,813 --> 00:38:30,216
the court accepts the appraisal
of the law firm
730
00:38:30,249 --> 00:38:33,285
owned by Mr. Broderick
and confirms its value
731
00:38:33,319 --> 00:38:35,922
at the date of separation.
732
00:38:36,555 --> 00:38:38,724
After reviewing the Epstein credits,
733
00:38:38,757 --> 00:38:42,962
legal costs, and cash advances,
I find that Mrs. Broderick
734
00:38:42,995 --> 00:38:49,435
owes Mr. Broderick a total of $787,063.
735
00:38:49,468 --> 00:38:52,471
Taking that deduction into account,
736
00:38:52,504 --> 00:38:55,107
I award her a lump sum payment
737
00:38:55,140 --> 00:38:59,845
of $28,606.02.
738
00:39:02,081 --> 00:39:03,783
As to custody,
739
00:39:04,183 --> 00:39:07,787
I find that Mr. Broderick
will retain sole custody.
740
00:39:08,687 --> 00:39:11,924
Mrs. Broderick is awarded
formal visitation rights
741
00:39:11,957 --> 00:39:15,728
on alternating holidays and weekends.
742
00:39:15,761 --> 00:39:18,673
And finally as to spousal support,
743
00:39:19,331 --> 00:39:22,668
I keep the figure at $16,000 monthly,
744
00:39:22,701 --> 00:39:27,539
contingent on remarriage
or death of either party
745
00:39:27,573 --> 00:39:30,409
or further order of the court.
746
00:40:02,841 --> 00:40:04,109
"Further order of the court,"
747
00:40:04,142 --> 00:40:05,249
meaning until the next time
748
00:40:05,282 --> 00:40:06,912
Dan Broderick feels like appealing it.
749
00:40:06,945 --> 00:40:08,814
Till the next time I annoy him,
750
00:40:08,847 --> 00:40:11,784
and he brings down the axe again.
751
00:40:11,817 --> 00:40:15,146
What man wouldn't be angry
at being treated like this?
752
00:40:15,788 --> 00:40:18,107
But women aren't allowed to get angry,
753
00:40:18,857 --> 00:40:21,260
because the men write the rules.
754
00:41:11,176 --> 00:41:13,679
Will you hit Walt please?
I can't reach him.
755
00:41:13,712 --> 00:41:15,748
I would rather hit you than Walt.
756
00:41:15,781 --> 00:41:17,750
Okay, you ladies take care of Chrissie
757
00:41:17,783 --> 00:41:19,518
when she gets back, all right?
758
00:41:22,154 --> 00:41:24,757
- Dessert wines all around!
- I'll have a...
759
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:32,465
Must be nice now that it's all over with.
760
00:41:32,498 --> 00:41:34,867
Oh, it's not nice exactly,
761
00:41:34,900 --> 00:41:38,103
but it is over.
762
00:41:40,572 --> 00:41:43,375
Can I, um...
763
00:41:43,409 --> 00:41:44,843
Can I ask,
764
00:41:45,153 --> 00:41:47,780
could you have come across Betty's china
765
00:41:47,813 --> 00:41:49,882
ever at some point?
766
00:41:49,915 --> 00:41:52,151
It's Pickard. It's white and ivory...
767
00:41:52,184 --> 00:41:54,219
Encrusted with a gold band.
768
00:41:54,253 --> 00:41:55,754
So you have.
769
00:41:55,788 --> 00:41:57,222
- Okay.
- Yeah.
770
00:41:57,256 --> 00:41:59,658
Betty is so focused on it,
771
00:41:59,691 --> 00:42:02,003
really wanting it back.
772
00:42:02,694 --> 00:42:03,996
I feel like if you did that,
773
00:42:04,029 --> 00:42:08,967
it could be a little olive branch.
774
00:42:11,670 --> 00:42:14,239
Well, you know her so well,
775
00:42:14,273 --> 00:42:16,768
and I don't really.
776
00:42:17,176 --> 00:42:20,605
And what I do know, I don't like,
777
00:42:22,448 --> 00:42:24,650
so I'm not doing an olive branch.
778
00:42:26,885 --> 00:42:28,654
I know Betty's been awful to you,
779
00:42:28,687 --> 00:42:31,457
but if you give the china back,
780
00:42:31,490 --> 00:42:35,661
at least then you'd never have
to think about it ever again.
781
00:42:37,830 --> 00:42:39,707
Or I could break it.
782
00:42:41,567 --> 00:42:43,169
Maybe I will.
783
00:42:44,749 --> 00:42:46,589
That's what she would do.
784
00:42:48,373 --> 00:42:50,008
If you're thinking about carrying it,
785
00:42:50,042 --> 00:42:52,277
that's another reason for this model.
786
00:42:52,311 --> 00:42:54,713
Pick it up if you want. You can.
787
00:42:57,082 --> 00:42:59,952
I was a marksman back in school.
788
00:42:59,985 --> 00:43:02,821
Ammunition,
these .38 rounds will all work.
789
00:43:02,855 --> 00:43:07,125
Uh, just these ones are $5 more a box.
790
00:43:07,159 --> 00:43:09,328
The men write the rules,
and the rules are
791
00:43:09,361 --> 00:43:12,030
you're allowed to defend
yourself if you're a man.
792
00:43:12,064 --> 00:43:14,132
You're allowed to defend
your home and family
793
00:43:14,166 --> 00:43:16,001
and property if you're a man,
but if you're a woman,
794
00:43:16,034 --> 00:43:17,836
you're supposed to go
in the corner and cry
795
00:43:17,870 --> 00:43:19,665
and take pills and kill yourself.
796
00:43:19,690 --> 00:43:23,208
These are for you
to fill out, permits and such.
797
00:43:23,555 --> 00:43:25,390
Need a pen?
798
00:43:27,346 --> 00:43:28,881
Got one.
