Nothing about that was normal.

I'm not saying the collapse was normal,

Cancer?

Panic attack.

Panic attack?

Why would I --Actually, that tracks.

Have you been under a lot of stress?

Literally nothing but stress.

You say it like it's my fault.

-And it isn't? -I've been telling you

Because it's stress relief. Tell him, Doctor.

[ Monitor beeping ]

Cruz: Your Honor, we turned over our discovery weeks ago.

Judge Bobiak: And let me guess,

opposing counsel has not returned the favor?

Your Honor, Stonemore is a massive corporation,

and the plaintiffs have asked for a decade worth of discovery.

It takes time.

But you are working in good faith?

Absolutely, Your Honor.

He is absolutely not, Your Honor.

We haven't received one single file. Not one.

And when we've called to prod and push,

they stonewall us.

And just in case Your Honor needs reminding,

people are suffering while he plays his little games.

Their illnesses are progressing.

Their wellness, their recovery,

depends on our ability to win this case,

but we cannot win this case if we cannot start!

[ Cellphone beeping ]

Do you want to answer that, counselor?

Is this really necessary?

It would be irresponsible of me

not to monitor your heart for at least a couple of weeks.

A couple of weeks?

This monitor is connected

to an app on your phone.

When your heart rate moves into dangerous territories,

the app will alert you.

But if it's stress, why can't I just take a couple pills?

Research shows that non-drug therapies

can be just as effective for stress relief.

Have you ever heard of box breathing?

Box --Rebel: I have.

We do it in yoga.

[ Breathes deeply ]

You gotta be kidding me.

[ Cellphone beeping ]

Oh, excuse me, Your Honor.

My apologies, Your Honor.

It's not actually r-ringing.

It's beeping. But I can't, uh...

My wife has that app.

Her doctor put it on her phone

after she suffered a panic attack.

Do we need a recess, counselor?

No, we do not need a recess, Your Honor.

Just give me one second. Amir?

-Yep. -Oh, sorry. Amir, please -- Could you please?

Thank you. I'm sorry, Your Honor.

Uh, Your Honor...

Your Honor, we don't need a recess.

What I need is my discovery, and I need it yesterday,

but, uh, my opposing counsel here is playing games

by holding back the information I need to do my job,

which is why I filed the motion

to compel him to turn it over.

So, please, compel him.

Motion granted. Stop wasting my time, counselor.

And, Mr. Cruz, please learn how to put your phone on vibrate.

Can you buy one on eBay?

No, you can't, 'cause this is an original piece

from an almost mint condition 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera

in Irish Green.

What'd they make? 30 of those?

Yes. Now, if you would, please --

[ Laughs ]

Hey, us custom guys, we all know each other,

so you can put out a call and try to find one,

but I called everybody already

and told them not to sell to you,

so that makes this a collector's item.

Normally, it'd go for about $1,300,

but this special one -- how much, hon?

15 grand. What?

Yeah. That's about right.

The rate reflects the current market.

-It's just business. -You know what?

That's it. I'm calling the cops.

While you do that, we're gonna get on our way.

But, you know, Grady here, he has some greasy, slimy hands.

-He just might lose it. -Whoo.

Or you can give Carl the funeral he already paid for,

and I'll give you this.

[ Exhales sharply ]

Rebel: Guess what, Maria?

We got that criminal at the funeral home

to honor your original price.

And we got it in writing.

Maria: What? How did you do that?

-It was this guy. -Nice.

Where's the degenerates?

They're planning something.

I was supposed to let them know when you got back.

They're here!

Maybe you're complicit.

I'm sorry, but Aunt Sharon died,

that my mother making you relive her death every day

Amir: I believe in this case,

but I just can't work it for free.

-Rebel: You'll get paid. -In three weeks?

Because that's about as long as I can make it.

No, not three weeks. This case can go on for years.

Then we'll take on other cases.

That's still six months from fresh cash.

Then ask your bank to extend your credit line.

I already did. They denied it.

Then we'll find another bank.

We'll find another investor.
