You know that.

And then, Terrance, the way...

how you won this

Well, can I be honest with you?

Always.

I always think they did it.

What's the point?

See, the point is...

Did they prove it?

See our job is to make

You did a good job.

Oh, um...
listen, Terrance.

I was gonna go this weekend
over to the camp.

Over in, um,
Grand Isle with the kids?

See you know what I'm thinking?

I'm thinking that you could
use some time for yourself.

So I'm gonna
email you the address

and it's already paid for, room
and board... listen to me now.

I want you to go
down to the camp.

I want you to relax.

And I want you to think about
your future and your career.

'Cause when I said to you
I was gonna open up the books

and add a new partner
to the firm.

I was serious.

Thanks, boss, but,
I'm okay, no thanks.

I wasn't offering

I was requesting as your boss.

Yes, you're
gonna go to the camp.

And yes, you are going to relax,

and yes, you're gonna

Sometimes a man

when he come to a fork

Whether to go left

Either you be a man and
stand up and make a decision,

or you go nowhere.

And nowhere,
that's a dark place to be.

Some people are placed

only for a season.

Sometimes at
the end of that season,

the flowers that God intended,

blossom in your life.

Long after a person is gone.

The rules of the universe
never changes.

They have to blossom.

Sometimes there's
a voice inside you.

You try to silence it.

You try to squash it.

But it pushs forward

like the water behind a dam.

And then it breaks through.

Life has twists and turns.

But in the end,
no matter how many days

you find yourself off course,

you end up true north.

Chris Wiggins was murdered.

So how was that possible?

Think about it.

How was that possible?

I know what you're
thinking, I'm...

You're thinking the
last person who text him...

who received the text
from the victim

was my client.

I do admit that.

Last person who did receive
the text from the victim

was my client.

But he didn't meet
with my client that night.

He met with someone else.

And God, God...

God rest his soul because we
all hurt from his loss.

But you, each and every one
of you have to decide... today.

That this man is not a murderer.

Now, he may have
been a drug dealer.

We're not here for that.

He may have been a bad person.

But that does not make
him a murderer.

Ladies and gentlemen, I
want you to remember one thing.

Think about this.

15 minutes.

Just keep that in your
head, 15... minutes.

Would it make sense to you?

This man is not a murderer.

Thank you.

(door opening)

Oh, hey, sir, you need anything?

Coffee, tea?

Two shots of vodka?

Well, coffee sounds good.

Tea sounds okay but...
I really need a drink.

Um, I'm definitely not
supposed to drink on the job,

but it's been one of
those kind of days.

Let's drink.

Um-hmm.

I mean, uh...

Can you believe that I allowed
this torture for five years.

Five years.

I mean... and then I
lie to myself and I say,

"It's happening, it's
not happening."

It's just...
it's crazy.

I guess it's just as
much as my fault as his.

Hmm.

Wow...

Well, I can't
say I'm much better

at judging character myself.

Trust me, I'm not
the one to talk.

Come on, she's not that bad.

At least you're not finding
lipstick all over her clothes.

If I would've found lipstick
on her clothes,

this right here would
be a much better story.

Okay, maybe that wasn't
the best metaphor,

but you know what I mean.

What was that?

(laughing)

You know what I mean.

Nah, I know where
you're coming from.

Thank you.

I mean, there were other guys.

Hmm.

I just turn the other way

because I know I wasn't doing
what I was supposed to.

You know, I wasn't...

I wasn't giving her
the time she deserved so...

I guess, I wasn't
perfect either.

What is that?

Why... why can't you just
be honest from the beginning

and say that, just say
this is what I want.

This is what I don't want.

This is what it is, this
is what it isn't.

I mean, it would
be so much easier.

I know, but life
isn't that simple.

It's not that simple, you know?

Well, I guess
I'm a country girl,

and I think love is simple.

You are a country girl.

(chuckling)
Okay, we know this.

Nah, but seriously.

I mean, I think you should
have what you deserve.

I mean, you
don't have to settle.

It's not like you're 400
pounds and unattractive.

What... so what are you saying,
fat people are gorgeous.

They deserve love, what are you
saying, they don't deserve love?

No, I'm not saying that.

I agree that fat people
are gorgeous.

It's not about fat
people, it's just...

Listen, you're not
400 pounds, okay?

That is mean.

Why should you have
to settle?
That's not right.

Well, then I guess, just
for me and for me, I am...

a hopeless romantic.

I'm a hopeless romantic and
that's just what I'll be.

So are you gonna take him back?

I don't... I don't know.

My heart tells me
that I love him.

But my mind tells me...

I don't deserve this
torture, you know, I mean...

Right.

And sometimes I put
myself through things,

one-two-three-four-five times.

Just to make sure,
and it's just crazy.

Tell me about it.

(chuckling)

But at the end of the day,
you just gotta pray about it

and leave it to God.

You do that.

You know, my grandmother,
she-she used to always tell me,

"Never pay too much attention
to what people say.

"Watch what they do.

They'll show you what's
in their heart."

You know?

That's good advice.

My dad used to always
give me the best advice.

Yeah?

Oh, mean, he would...
Knew exactly what to say,

when to say it, how to say it,
like at the right time.

He was always perfect.

You always talk about your dad.

I'm pretty sure he was cool.

I'm pretty sure his wisdom
and knowledge is inside you.

Just look deep down
inside your heart,

you'll find which way to go.

To true north.

To true north.

Wow.
Ooh.

Hmm, I needed that.

Yeah.
