[elevator bell dings]
2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:12,621
Did the world just turn
into a sea of jerks, or...?
3
00:00:12,621 --> 00:00:14,057
Puck?
4
00:00:14,057 --> 00:00:15,580
Hey, Harry, how are you?
5
00:00:15,580 --> 00:00:17,408
Meet Paul and Marcie Vinson,
and their daughter Sela.
6
00:00:17,408 --> 00:00:18,496
Hello.
7
00:00:18,496 --> 00:00:19,976
PEYTON:
Uh, can we go
8
00:00:19,976 --> 00:00:22,500
into your office for a second?
It'’s important.
9
00:00:23,893 --> 00:00:25,808
We really appreciate this.
10
00:00:25,808 --> 00:00:27,897
I'’m not quite sure what it is
you'’re appreciating.
11
00:00:27,897 --> 00:00:30,204
We'’d like you to represent Sela.
12
00:00:30,204 --> 00:00:32,945
PAUL:
She'’s being charged with...
13
00:00:32,945 --> 00:00:36,166
An acquaintance of hers at
school recently took her life,
14
00:00:36,166 --> 00:00:39,387
and Sela'’s being held criminally
liable for the girl'’s death.
15
00:00:39,387 --> 00:00:41,084
I wasn'’t trying to bully her.
16
00:00:41,084 --> 00:00:44,174
I have a blog that she read.
17
00:00:44,174 --> 00:00:46,611
PEYTON:
It'’s an unfortunate situation.
I have been representing her.
18
00:00:46,611 --> 00:00:49,049
The case and files are fully
developed-- full developed.
19
00:00:49,049 --> 00:00:51,790
Another one of my cases
also got called for trial.
20
00:00:51,790 --> 00:00:54,663
So I was wondering if perhaps
you would take over this one?
21
00:00:56,839 --> 00:00:59,972
Please. Harry, I need you here.
22
00:00:59,972 --> 00:01:02,366
More importantly, so does Sela.
23
00:01:04,151 --> 00:01:07,980
Exactly what was on this blog?
24
00:01:07,980 --> 00:01:10,809
I just said...
25
00:01:12,072 --> 00:01:14,552
...she was gay.
26
00:01:30,612 --> 00:01:32,570
I have a pretty low opinion
of lawyers,
27
00:01:32,570 --> 00:01:35,834
so it'’s not as if I have
high expectations.
28
00:01:35,834 --> 00:01:37,793
But you set a new low.
29
00:01:37,793 --> 00:01:40,100
You are unconscionable.
30
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:42,754
I would go so far
as to say despicable.
31
00:01:42,754 --> 00:01:45,148
What'’s your point?
My point?
32
00:01:45,148 --> 00:01:48,238
My son came to you
desperate for help
and you prey on him
33
00:01:48,238 --> 00:01:49,892
to get hold
of his life insurance?!
34
00:01:49,892 --> 00:01:51,937
That'’s one way
of looking at it.
35
00:01:51,937 --> 00:01:53,722
Here'’s another.
36
00:01:53,722 --> 00:01:56,290
Your son, dying of leukemia,
comes to me, Tommy Jefferson,
37
00:01:56,290 --> 00:01:59,249
in search of a lawyer
to help him get
38
00:01:59,249 --> 00:02:01,686
some experimental treatment
that the pharmaceutical
company refuses to provide.
39
00:02:01,686 --> 00:02:03,775
I take his case for free
40
00:02:03,775 --> 00:02:05,212
in exchange for an
assignment of his policy.
41
00:02:05,212 --> 00:02:06,952
I fight valiantly
for him in court.
42
00:02:06,952 --> 00:02:09,694
I do not prevail,
but I am valiant just the same.
43
00:02:09,694 --> 00:02:12,262
I lose the battle in
court, but I tried.
44
00:02:12,262 --> 00:02:14,525
And I charged him nothing.
45
00:02:14,525 --> 00:02:16,484
You are here crying,
46
00:02:16,484 --> 00:02:18,486
because you didn'’t get the
proceeds to his policy.
47
00:02:18,486 --> 00:02:20,749
Well, sir, tell me,
as he was dying,
48
00:02:20,749 --> 00:02:22,751
desperate as you say,
what did you do?
49
00:02:22,751 --> 00:02:25,275
I, Tommy Jefferson, fought for
him, you heard me say valiantly.
50
00:02:25,275 --> 00:02:27,234
That'’s what I did.
What did you do?
51
00:02:31,063 --> 00:02:33,022
I'’m sorry.
No, it'’s...
52
00:02:35,503 --> 00:02:37,113
Are you okay, sir?
53
00:02:38,419 --> 00:02:41,813
You work with that guy?
54
00:02:42,814 --> 00:02:44,512
Are you...
55
00:02:44,512 --> 00:02:46,427
...kidding me? You took a dying
man'’s life insurance?
56
00:02:46,427 --> 00:02:48,690
What good is it
going to do him? He'’s dead.
57
00:02:48,690 --> 00:02:50,866
Tommy, I don'’t even
know what to say.
58
00:02:50,866 --> 00:02:52,346
Say good-bye then. See ya.
59
00:02:52,346 --> 00:02:54,304
You'’re going to get
sued for this.
60
00:02:54,304 --> 00:02:55,958
You do realize that?Yeah, right.
61
00:02:55,958 --> 00:02:58,047
Good luck to Daddy finding
a lawyer to go after me.
62
00:02:58,047 --> 00:03:00,441
He did find one.
63
00:03:00,441 --> 00:03:02,138
Me.
Very funny.
64
00:03:02,138 --> 00:03:04,053
I'’m serious. I took his case.
I'’m representing him.
65
00:03:04,053 --> 00:03:06,447
We share the same office.But we'’re separate firms.
66
00:03:06,447 --> 00:03:08,753
You either sign over this
life insurance policy
67
00:03:08,753 --> 00:03:11,452
to my client, or I'’ll get
the court to order you to.
68
00:03:14,977 --> 00:03:16,283
Is Harry in her office?
69
00:03:16,283 --> 00:03:18,023
I think so.
70
00:03:18,023 --> 00:03:20,635
Hey, Cassie, how you doing?
71
00:03:22,593 --> 00:03:24,465
I'’m flattered.
72
00:03:24,465 --> 00:03:28,164
You'’re very kind, but no thanks.I just said how you doing.
73
00:03:28,164 --> 00:03:30,035
Okay. Doing fine, Ollie.
74
00:03:30,035 --> 00:03:32,560
Oh, you thought I was hitting on
you, that'’s what you thought.
75
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,736
I wasn'’t hitting on you.
76
00:03:34,736 --> 00:03:37,347
Okay, lunch-- that'’s not
hitting. Everybody eats.
77
00:03:37,347 --> 00:03:38,870
It'’s hardly hitting.
78
00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:44,572
Everybody eats lunch.
79
00:03:44,572 --> 00:03:47,139
What do you mean you'’re leaving?Harry, it'’s Christian Louboutin.
80
00:03:47,139 --> 00:03:49,272
I don'’t care who it is,
why are you leaving?
81
00:03:49,272 --> 00:03:51,143
This is a huge
opportunity for me.
82
00:03:51,143 --> 00:03:55,191
Christian Louboutin is like the
holy grail of women'’s footwear.
83
00:03:55,191 --> 00:03:57,715
They make shoes.Well, they saw the
Vogue-Online interview
84
00:03:57,715 --> 00:04:00,588
and they called and asked to
interview me, which I did.
85
00:04:00,588 --> 00:04:03,199
Successfully.Jenna, we'’re just
getting started here.
86
00:04:03,199 --> 00:04:05,810
Even Sarah Palin stuck it
out two years before she quit.
87
00:04:05,810 --> 00:04:07,551
Don'’t make this difficult.
88
00:04:07,551 --> 00:04:08,987
I will make it difficult.
89
00:04:08,987 --> 00:04:10,554
I'’ll make it as difficult
as all get-out.
90
00:04:10,554 --> 00:04:12,164
I need you here.
No you don'’t.
91
00:04:12,164 --> 00:04:14,123
I hired a great
girl downstairs,
92
00:04:14,123 --> 00:04:15,516
she'’s going to take care
of the shoe store.
93
00:04:15,516 --> 00:04:18,867
And the law office
is practically...
Jenna.
94
00:04:18,867 --> 00:04:22,305
Look, this is
a calling for me.
95
00:04:22,305 --> 00:04:24,525
And if you really care about me
as much as you pretend to...
96
00:04:24,525 --> 00:04:26,570
Well, I don'’t care that much.
I was pretending.
97
00:04:26,570 --> 00:04:29,704
I'’ll sue your ass if you leave
me in the lurch like this.
98
00:04:35,275 --> 00:04:37,712
[sighs]
99
00:04:37,712 --> 00:04:38,800
You okay?
100
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,889
Why are you here, Ollie?
101
00:04:40,889 --> 00:04:42,325
Uh, well...
102
00:04:42,325 --> 00:04:44,066
Actually, I don'’t care,
sit down.
103
00:04:44,066 --> 00:04:46,068
I helped bail you out
last time,
104
00:04:46,068 --> 00:04:47,461
now you need to help me.
105
00:04:47,461 --> 00:04:49,767
I just took on a new client,
Sela Vinson.
106
00:04:49,767 --> 00:04:52,683
[chuckles]
That'’s funny.
107
00:04:52,683 --> 00:04:55,338
You'’re serious?
The cyber-bully?
108
00:04:55,338 --> 00:04:56,731
I don'’t think
she'’s really a bully.
109
00:04:56,731 --> 00:04:58,167
The trial is set to go,
I could use your help.
110
00:04:58,167 --> 00:04:59,647
Listen, Harry,
111
00:04:59,647 --> 00:05:01,823
defending wife-killing murderers
is one thing.
112
00:05:01,823 --> 00:05:03,477
But cyber-bullies who
contribute to teen suicide...
113
00:05:03,477 --> 00:05:05,609
This is a public
relations disaster.
114
00:05:05,609 --> 00:05:07,176
I'’m not looking for PR advice.
115
00:05:07,176 --> 00:05:08,395
I need a good second-chair,
116
00:05:08,395 --> 00:05:09,744
[knocking]and since you owe me...
117
00:05:09,744 --> 00:05:12,660
Ah, Sela, come in.
118
00:05:12,660 --> 00:05:14,879
Meet Ollie Richard,
he'’s joining the case.
119
00:05:16,141 --> 00:05:18,230
Hi.
Hi.
120
00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:20,363
Okay, look, uh...
first order of business,
121
00:05:20,363 --> 00:05:21,930
I'’m going to meet with the DA,
122
00:05:21,930 --> 00:05:23,758
see if I can get
the charges reduced.
123
00:05:23,758 --> 00:05:25,847
I don'’t figure to be successful,
but it'’s worth the shot.
124
00:05:25,847 --> 00:05:27,457
Sit, honey.
125
00:05:27,457 --> 00:05:31,766
I wanted to talk to you
alone, since... well,
126
00:05:31,766 --> 00:05:33,637
in that courtroom, your parents
127
00:05:33,637 --> 00:05:35,770
can'’t really be
that much good to you.
128
00:05:35,770 --> 00:05:37,554
It'’s gonna be a rough go.
129
00:05:37,554 --> 00:05:39,730
You see how the way the media is
making you out to be a monster,
130
00:05:39,730 --> 00:05:42,037
so will the prosecution.
There'’s no avoiding that.
131
00:05:42,037 --> 00:05:43,299
Okay.
132
00:05:43,299 --> 00:05:44,953
You'’re going to need to testify.
133
00:05:44,953 --> 00:05:46,346
You up to that?
134
00:05:46,346 --> 00:05:48,609
I think.
135
00:05:52,308 --> 00:05:54,789
You all right?
136
00:05:54,789 --> 00:05:58,096
If we lose, I'’m...
137
00:05:58,096 --> 00:06:00,360
really in trouble, aren'’t I?
138
00:06:02,884 --> 00:06:06,366
Sela, you'’re being charged
with a homicide.
139
00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:12,197
If we lose, you go to prison.
140
00:06:23,252 --> 00:06:24,558
They make me do everything.
141
00:06:24,558 --> 00:06:25,776
How you doing, Harry?
142
00:06:25,776 --> 00:06:27,343
I hear such nice things
from Hosanna.
143
00:06:27,343 --> 00:06:28,997
I can imagine.
144
00:06:28,997 --> 00:06:30,825
I pulled the
Sela Vinson case.
145
00:06:30,825 --> 00:06:32,827
So I'’m told--
tell Puck he'’s a coward.
146
00:06:32,827 --> 00:06:34,350
Are you sure
you really want this one?
147
00:06:34,350 --> 00:06:35,960
God knows I don'’t.
148
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,397
Maybe we can make both
our lives a little easier.
149
00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:39,007
Yeah, that'’s not
gonna happen.
150
00:06:39,007 --> 00:06:40,530
Kim, negligent homicide?
151
00:06:40,530 --> 00:06:41,966
We'’ve got a bullying problem
here in Ohio,
152
00:06:41,966 --> 00:06:43,577
did you know that?
153
00:06:43,577 --> 00:06:44,969
So you'’re going to make
an example of Sela?
154
00:06:44,969 --> 00:06:47,581
Well, you said that, but okay.
155
00:06:47,581 --> 00:06:48,930
She'’s 17 years old.
156
00:06:48,930 --> 00:06:50,540
As was Hannah Wells,
who is now dead.
157
00:06:50,540 --> 00:06:53,543
Look, Harry, the cyber-bullying
is out of control,
158
00:06:53,543 --> 00:06:55,893
so is the gay-bashing,
especially in this state.
159
00:06:55,893 --> 00:06:57,504
We have to sound an alarm,
160
00:06:57,504 --> 00:06:59,331
and a plea bargain
is not going to do that.
161
00:06:59,331 --> 00:07:01,551
We'’d rather file homicide
charges and lose
162
00:07:01,551 --> 00:07:03,031
than quietly resolve it,
163
00:07:03,031 --> 00:07:04,554
and unfortunately
for your girl,
164
00:07:04,554 --> 00:07:06,513
that puts her
in the crosshairs.
165
00:07:06,513 --> 00:07:08,210
She'’s a decent kid.
166
00:07:08,210 --> 00:07:11,735
Look, negligent homicide
is the best I can do.
167
00:07:13,041 --> 00:07:15,304
CASSIE:
There'’s nothing illegal
168
00:07:15,304 --> 00:07:17,132
about accepting
a life insurance policy
169
00:07:17,132 --> 00:07:19,264
as consideration,
it'’s just, you know...
170
00:07:19,264 --> 00:07:21,615
Beyond repugnant?
Bug.
171
00:07:21,615 --> 00:07:24,618
Let'’s keep looking, there'’s
gotta be some actual case law.
172
00:07:24,618 --> 00:07:26,141
Adam, can I talk to you?
173
00:07:26,141 --> 00:07:27,795
I may need a favor.
174
00:07:27,795 --> 00:07:29,361
Um, I'’ve decided to leave.
175
00:07:29,361 --> 00:07:30,885
I got this really
incredible job
176
00:07:30,885 --> 00:07:33,322
and Harry is
threatening to sue me,
177
00:07:33,322 --> 00:07:35,411
and I was just wondering
if you could help me.
178
00:07:35,411 --> 00:07:37,326
I know that she'’s your boss
and everything, but...
179
00:07:37,326 --> 00:07:38,675
What do you mean,
you'’ve decided to leave?
180
00:07:38,675 --> 00:07:40,111
You can'’t leave.
181
00:07:40,111 --> 00:07:41,504
It'’s Christian Louboutin.
182
00:07:41,504 --> 00:07:42,723
They make shoes.
183
00:07:42,723 --> 00:07:44,246
[elevator bell dings]
184
00:07:44,246 --> 00:07:45,769
You can'’t just leave.
185
00:07:45,769 --> 00:07:47,249
Okay, folks,
we'’re going to trial.
186
00:07:47,249 --> 00:07:48,729
I'’ll need everybody on standby.
187
00:07:48,729 --> 00:07:50,470
We'’re going to need
the down and dirty
188
00:07:50,470 --> 00:07:52,776
on all the laws regarding
homicide and bullying liability.
189
00:07:52,776 --> 00:07:54,474
Start with State
and go national.
190
00:07:54,474 --> 00:07:56,171
Politically speaking,
it would be best for me
191
00:07:56,171 --> 00:07:57,955
to take that assignment
from a partner in this firm,
192
00:07:57,955 --> 00:07:59,566
and not somebody else'’s.
193
00:07:59,566 --> 00:08:01,132
Take it from me, then,
we need the research.
194
00:08:01,132 --> 00:08:03,308
Harry, Jenna just told me
she'’s leaving.
195
00:08:03,308 --> 00:08:04,527
Is-is that true?
196
00:08:04,527 --> 00:08:07,269
Oh, she just thinks she is.
197
00:08:07,269 --> 00:08:08,836
She'’s probably just
having her...
198
00:08:08,836 --> 00:08:10,925
God, it'’s been so long
since I'’ve had one
199
00:08:10,925 --> 00:08:12,622
I can'’t even remember
what they'’re called.
200
00:08:12,622 --> 00:08:15,320
Harry, I know that technically
we'’re separate firms,
201
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,454
but the fact is we cohabit,
we have a duty, you hear me,
202
00:08:18,454 --> 00:08:20,325
a duty, of good faith
to each other.
203
00:08:20,325 --> 00:08:22,153
Is that how you got a man
dying with leukemia
204
00:08:22,153 --> 00:08:25,156
to sign over his life insurance,
you used good faith?
205
00:08:25,156 --> 00:08:26,593
He signed over the
policy willingly.
206
00:08:26,593 --> 00:08:28,116
In fact you know what
he said, Bug?
207
00:08:28,116 --> 00:08:29,378
Thank you.
208
00:08:29,378 --> 00:08:30,901
Thank you,
Tommy Valiant Jefferson.
209
00:08:30,901 --> 00:08:32,424
He'’s suing me, you believe that?
210
00:08:32,424 --> 00:08:33,730
My client is.
211
00:08:33,730 --> 00:08:34,862
You took a man'’s
life insurance?
212
00:08:34,862 --> 00:08:36,254
Dying man'’s.
213
00:08:36,254 --> 00:08:37,778
It'’s an acceptable
form of compensation.
214
00:08:37,778 --> 00:08:39,127
Not to me it'’s not.
215
00:08:39,127 --> 00:08:40,650
It'’s disgusting.
216
00:08:40,650 --> 00:08:42,957
Well, I can see now
217
00:08:42,957 --> 00:08:44,393
I not only need a judge
to tell me I'’m right,
218
00:08:44,393 --> 00:08:47,048
I need him to tell
you, and you-- Bug,
219
00:08:47,048 --> 00:08:48,266
and mother-bug.
220
00:08:48,266 --> 00:08:49,833
Harry, check this out.
221
00:08:49,833 --> 00:08:54,229
And what exactly has 17-year-old
Sela Vinson done now
222
00:08:54,229 --> 00:08:55,839
other than torture
a classmate online
223
00:08:55,839 --> 00:08:57,537
until she kills herself?
224
00:08:57,537 --> 00:08:59,974
Vinson has lawyered up.
225
00:08:59,974 --> 00:09:02,019
That'’s right, hiring a
high-profile defense attorney,
226
00:09:02,019 --> 00:09:03,281
Harry Korn.
227
00:09:03,281 --> 00:09:05,457
Korn just out of court...
228
00:09:05,457 --> 00:09:07,155
Is this is on nationally?
229
00:09:07,155 --> 00:09:08,765
I think you should take a shot
with a restraining order
230
00:09:08,765 --> 00:09:10,071
before she poisons
the entire jury pool.
231
00:09:10,071 --> 00:09:12,073
OLLIE:
Good luck with that.
232
00:09:12,073 --> 00:09:13,683
There'’s such a thing as
the First Amendment.
You ever heard of it?
233
00:09:13,683 --> 00:09:15,424
I have, and it'’s not absolute.
Did you think it was?
234
00:09:15,424 --> 00:09:17,034
It is with the news.
235
00:09:17,034 --> 00:09:18,166
CASSIE: This show is less news
than it is infotainment.
236
00:09:18,166 --> 00:09:19,689
Give me a break.
237
00:09:19,689 --> 00:09:21,343
Here you go.
Can you let me finish talking
238
00:09:21,343 --> 00:09:22,649
to the nice grown-up now?
239
00:09:22,649 --> 00:09:25,739
This woman is in
the vengeance business...
240
00:09:25,739 --> 00:09:28,393
Even if you'’re right,
you'’re just going to be
241
00:09:28,393 --> 00:09:30,265
giving her a soapbox to tee
off even more on our client,
242
00:09:30,265 --> 00:09:32,267
and you, have you ever
thought of that?
243
00:09:32,267 --> 00:09:34,704
Take it outside?
244
00:09:34,704 --> 00:09:36,184
Wait, are you two
sleeping together?
245
00:09:36,184 --> 00:09:37,794
He'’d like to.No, I wouldn'’t.
246
00:09:37,794 --> 00:09:39,143
Yes, you would.No, I wouldn'’t.
247
00:09:39,143 --> 00:09:40,710
Yes, you would.I asked her out to lunch.
248
00:09:40,710 --> 00:09:41,972
Take it outside?
249
00:09:41,972 --> 00:09:44,409
Which offer is now revoked
for life.
250
00:09:50,633 --> 00:09:54,594
WOMAN:
She was, um, extremely private
about her private life.
251
00:09:54,594 --> 00:09:57,161
Both to friends
and family alike.
252
00:09:57,161 --> 00:10:00,164
Hannah was very...
253
00:10:00,164 --> 00:10:04,125
Did you ever discuss
her sexual orientation?
254
00:10:04,125 --> 00:10:07,563
Not directly, um...
255
00:10:07,563 --> 00:10:10,174
She would sometimes refer to
boys who she thought were cute
256
00:10:10,174 --> 00:10:13,917
at schools, so we just assumed
she was heterosexual.
257
00:10:13,917 --> 00:10:18,443
But since her death...
258
00:10:18,443 --> 00:10:21,751
um, there were some writings
in her diary
259
00:10:21,751 --> 00:10:24,536
which would indicate otherwise.
260
00:10:24,536 --> 00:10:26,887
Can you describe a bit
261
00:10:26,887 --> 00:10:28,671
the person Hannah was?
262
00:10:28,671 --> 00:10:31,805
As I said, she
was very private.
263
00:10:31,805 --> 00:10:36,636
I would go so far as to say
she was withdrawn somewhat.
264
00:10:36,636 --> 00:10:39,377
Sensitive.
265
00:10:40,901 --> 00:10:44,644
MENDELSOHN:
The night she died...
266
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:47,429
I went upstairs
to check on her,
267
00:10:47,429 --> 00:10:50,693
to find out again if I c...
268
00:10:50,693 --> 00:10:53,174
Her door was open
269
00:10:53,174 --> 00:10:56,568
and the clothes
were kinda strewn.
270
00:10:56,568 --> 00:10:58,919
I thought maybe that she'’d gone
out to the garage
271
00:10:58,919 --> 00:11:01,661
to actually do
her laundry for a change.
272
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:04,098
So I went out there.
273
00:11:04,098 --> 00:11:06,274
And that'’s where I found her.
274
00:11:08,145 --> 00:11:11,975
I'’m so sorry, but could you
tell us what you discovered?
275
00:11:11,975 --> 00:11:17,720
She was sitting in her car,
her head back.
276
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,593
I first thought that
she was listening to her music,
277
00:11:21,593 --> 00:11:23,117
but then the smell hit me.
278
00:11:23,117 --> 00:11:25,641
The, um, the gasoline.
279
00:11:25,641 --> 00:11:26,642
And I...
280
00:11:28,296 --> 00:11:30,385
...I saw the hose attached.
281
00:11:32,648 --> 00:11:37,522
Next to her on the car seat
were these printed-out copies
282
00:11:37,522 --> 00:11:39,394
of that blog.
283
00:11:39,394 --> 00:11:41,744
Things written about her that...
284
00:11:45,269 --> 00:11:48,708
Your Honor, that'’s all I have.
285
00:11:52,886 --> 00:11:53,887
Miss Korn?
286
00:11:58,979 --> 00:12:02,286
Mrs. Wells...
287
00:12:02,286 --> 00:12:06,029
I cannot begin to imagine
the depth of your pain.
288
00:12:06,029 --> 00:12:09,946
And I'’m always horrified
289
00:12:09,946 --> 00:12:12,775
that grieving mothers
would be subject
290
00:12:12,775 --> 00:12:15,647
to a cruel process
such as this one.
291
00:12:19,913 --> 00:12:22,829
Regarding your daughter'’s
sexual orientation,
292
00:12:22,829 --> 00:12:25,092
you said she never talked
to you about it.
293
00:12:25,092 --> 00:12:27,007
She talk to anybody?
294
00:12:27,007 --> 00:12:28,225
Her friends?
295
00:12:28,225 --> 00:12:29,705
Not to my knowledge.
296
00:12:29,705 --> 00:12:31,489
How about a therapist?
297
00:12:31,489 --> 00:12:35,319
Clergy? I'’m told you'’re
a pretty religious family.
298
00:12:35,319 --> 00:12:36,494
Anybody at church?
299
00:12:36,494 --> 00:12:38,279
We'’re Catholic.
300
00:12:38,279 --> 00:12:40,411
So...
301
00:12:40,411 --> 00:12:43,458
she was really alone with this.
302
00:12:44,938 --> 00:12:47,201
Could Hannah have been
suffering from depression
303
00:12:47,201 --> 00:12:50,334
or something else
that you just couldn'’t see?
304
00:12:50,334 --> 00:12:53,381
In hindsight,
I-I-I guess depression.
305
00:12:53,381 --> 00:12:54,730
But being tormented
by your classmates,
306
00:12:54,730 --> 00:12:56,471
I suppose, could do that.
307
00:12:56,471 --> 00:12:58,690
HARRY:
Was there ever a cry for help
from Hannah?
308
00:12:58,690 --> 00:13:00,214
Or any indication to you that
309
00:13:00,214 --> 00:13:02,216
she might need to get
professional help?
310
00:13:04,392 --> 00:13:06,742
Again in hindsight...
311
00:13:09,876 --> 00:13:13,488
[sobs]:
I just couldn'’t see it.
312
00:13:15,316 --> 00:13:17,100
I imagine if her own mother
couldn'’t foresee
313
00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:19,189
something like this...
314
00:13:19,189 --> 00:13:21,017
nobody could have.
315
00:13:40,384 --> 00:13:43,083
First of all, talk about
your conflict of interest,
316
00:13:43,083 --> 00:13:45,607
basically he gets
paid if his client dies.
317
00:13:45,607 --> 00:13:47,130
How is that a conflict?
318
00:13:47,130 --> 00:13:48,479
Second, this completely
shocks the conscience
319
00:13:48,479 --> 00:13:49,959
and sensibilities...
320
00:13:49,959 --> 00:13:52,179
Not mine. Look, Judge--
can I call you "Judge"?--
321
00:13:52,179 --> 00:13:53,920
life insurance policies get
assigned all the time.
322
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,791
It'’s done, sometimes
323
00:13:55,791 --> 00:13:57,793
a repayment of debt,
sometimes as collateral
324
00:13:57,793 --> 00:14:00,143
for a loan, winnings
in a poker game, it'’s done.
325
00:14:00,143 --> 00:14:02,102
Insurance policies
are a transferable asset.
326
00:14:02,102 --> 00:14:04,713
Certainly when one party
is dying of a terminal disease.
327
00:14:04,713 --> 00:14:06,106
There'’s been no suggestion
of undue influence
328
00:14:06,106 --> 00:14:07,411
or mental incapacity.
329
00:14:07,411 --> 00:14:09,022
Can I finish, please?
330
00:14:09,022 --> 00:14:11,111
No. Time is money,
in this case, mine.
331
00:14:11,111 --> 00:14:12,939
This is a waste of my money
and the court'’s time.
332
00:14:12,939 --> 00:14:15,593
I'’d like to move for sanctions,
move for costs,
333
00:14:15,593 --> 00:14:17,944
move for treble damages,
move for abuse of process.
334
00:14:17,944 --> 00:14:19,946
All right, Mr. Jefferson,
stop all your moving,
335
00:14:19,946 --> 00:14:21,948
would you, please?
336
00:14:21,948 --> 00:14:23,340
The fact is I do have a bit
of a problem with this.
337
00:14:23,340 --> 00:14:24,776
Why?
Why?
338
00:14:24,776 --> 00:14:25,995
Well, think about it.
339
00:14:25,995 --> 00:14:27,910
You'’ve been incentivized
to lose.
340
00:14:27,910 --> 00:14:30,565
Should your client have received
the experimental treatment,
341
00:14:30,565 --> 00:14:32,523
it might'’ve prolonged his life,
delaying your compensation.
342
00:14:32,523 --> 00:14:35,962
You come into the money
faster by his dying,
343
00:14:35,962 --> 00:14:38,355
which means you financially
benefit by losing the case.
344
00:14:38,355 --> 00:14:40,662
There you go.There she goes where?
345
00:14:40,662 --> 00:14:43,447
Judge, almost every lawyer
financially benefits by losing.
346
00:14:43,447 --> 00:14:45,580
Why? Because with losing
come appeals,
347
00:14:45,580 --> 00:14:47,234
more litigation,
more money.
348
00:14:47,234 --> 00:14:49,540
The attorneys I know smile
in defeat because they know
349
00:14:49,540 --> 00:14:51,194
they just got richer.That wouldn'’t be true
350
00:14:51,194 --> 00:14:53,718
in contingency cases,
which this is.
351
00:14:53,718 --> 00:14:55,329
Oh, really, his death was
a contingency, was it?
352
00:14:55,329 --> 00:14:56,547
Not everybody dies?
353
00:14:56,547 --> 00:14:57,897
Not the ones
with cancer?
354
00:14:57,897 --> 00:15:00,029
Move for costs, Judge,
on grounds of stupid.
355
00:15:00,029 --> 00:15:02,031
Mr. Jefferson,
look, these are
356
00:15:02,031 --> 00:15:03,293
the kinds of things that give
357
00:15:03,293 --> 00:15:04,729
lawyers a bad name.
It feels sleazy,
358
00:15:04,729 --> 00:15:06,862
it smells bad, and
I don'’t like it one bit.
359
00:15:06,862 --> 00:15:09,212
But, Mr. Branch,
there'’s nothing illegal
360
00:15:09,212 --> 00:15:11,084
or legally unethical
about this arrangement.
361
00:15:11,084 --> 00:15:13,564
We have a valid contract.
362
00:15:13,564 --> 00:15:14,826
Promise, consideration,
performance.
363
00:15:14,826 --> 00:15:16,176
Your motion is denied.
364
00:15:16,176 --> 00:15:17,568
[gavel bangs]
365
00:15:21,181 --> 00:15:22,530
Hey, smile.
366
00:15:22,530 --> 00:15:25,141
Now you can appeal--
take more of his money.
367
00:15:38,328 --> 00:15:41,331
GIRL:
She was just really
beyond upset over the blog.
368
00:15:41,331 --> 00:15:42,985
And who wouldn'’t be?
369
00:15:42,985 --> 00:15:45,814
Comments like
"dyke, box fairy."
370
00:15:45,814 --> 00:15:48,860
There were others which
I don'’t want to repeat.
371
00:15:48,860 --> 00:15:50,384
It was beyond offensive.
372
00:15:50,384 --> 00:15:51,863
So these things were written
373
00:15:51,863 --> 00:15:53,691
about Hannah?
Yes.
374
00:15:53,691 --> 00:15:55,563
By her.
375
00:15:56,868 --> 00:16:00,481
And then...
And then... what?
376
00:16:00,481 --> 00:16:03,963
Well, in the Wednesday blog,
three days before,
377
00:16:03,963 --> 00:16:08,184
she wrote that maybe Hannah just
needed some help coming out.
378
00:16:08,184 --> 00:16:11,318
She suggested that people start
giving Hannah a knowing nod,
379
00:16:11,318 --> 00:16:13,624
which basically,
everybody started doing.
380
00:16:13,624 --> 00:16:15,975
That'’s what sent
her over the edge.
381
00:16:15,975 --> 00:16:18,107
So the defendant
382
00:16:18,107 --> 00:16:21,806
basically solicited the
student body to participate
383
00:16:21,806 --> 00:16:23,069
in this harassment?
384
00:16:23,069 --> 00:16:25,810
Yes.
385
00:16:25,810 --> 00:16:28,030
You testified
you were Hannah'’s best friend?
386
00:16:28,030 --> 00:16:29,553
Yes.
Jennie,
387
00:16:29,553 --> 00:16:31,512
did you know Hannah was gay?
388
00:16:31,512 --> 00:16:33,209
Well, I suspected.
389
00:16:33,209 --> 00:16:35,559
It'’s not something
we ever really talked about.
390
00:16:35,559 --> 00:16:38,823
She was very deep in
the closet, kind of.
391
00:16:38,823 --> 00:16:41,435
And as Hannah'’s best friend,
did you ever confront Sela?
392
00:16:41,435 --> 00:16:42,784
I confronted
Sela many times.
393
00:16:42,784 --> 00:16:45,134
She went after me
last year after
394
00:16:45,134 --> 00:16:46,962
I made a poor decision
on a prom dress.
395
00:16:46,962 --> 00:16:48,616
HARRY:
As I understand it,
396
00:16:48,616 --> 00:16:51,097
she goes after everybody--
teachers, students,
397
00:16:51,097 --> 00:16:53,186
class presidents.
398
00:16:53,186 --> 00:16:56,015
Her blog is the only way
she can get attention.
399
00:16:56,015 --> 00:16:58,147
So how we doing, Sela? Is this
enough attention for you?
400
00:16:58,147 --> 00:16:59,670
HARRY:
Your Honor, move
to strike that.
401
00:16:59,670 --> 00:17:01,237
Ms. Dean!
The jury will
402
00:17:01,237 --> 00:17:04,153
disregard those
remarks. Ms. Dean,
403
00:17:04,153 --> 00:17:05,981
you are only to
answer the questions
404
00:17:05,981 --> 00:17:08,027
asked of you, please.
405
00:17:19,864 --> 00:17:22,258
ADAM:
First of all,
congratulations in court.
406
00:17:22,258 --> 00:17:24,043
I thought you did
a first-rate job.
407
00:17:24,043 --> 00:17:26,349
Clearly,
you'’re a gifted attorney.
408
00:17:26,349 --> 00:17:28,873
Tommy, you own five cars.
409
00:17:28,873 --> 00:17:30,788
You have two swimming pools.
410
00:17:30,788 --> 00:17:34,183
You have sex with the most
expensive girls in town.
411
00:17:34,183 --> 00:17:36,403
Though you'’re entitled
to that insurance policy,
412
00:17:36,403 --> 00:17:38,361
the fact is,
you don'’t really need it.
413
00:17:38,361 --> 00:17:40,537
And Jason Barrows does.
414
00:17:40,537 --> 00:17:43,888
I'’m going to ask you to give him
the proceeds of the policy,
415
00:17:43,888 --> 00:17:45,890
not because
you'’re legally obligated to,
416
00:17:45,890 --> 00:17:48,110
but because
it'’s the right thing to do.
417
00:17:48,110 --> 00:17:52,723
And I think you know, there is
great reward in charity, too,
418
00:17:52,723 --> 00:17:56,075
often something richer than you
can get from a car or pool.
419
00:17:57,815 --> 00:18:00,514
Or hooker.
420
00:18:00,514 --> 00:18:02,472
Please.
421
00:18:02,472 --> 00:18:06,346
You have given me
some inspiring words to chew on.
422
00:18:06,346 --> 00:18:08,391
Hmm.
Hmm.
423
00:18:08,391 --> 00:18:11,829
I'’d like to reciprocate
with some words of wisdom.
424
00:18:11,829 --> 00:18:14,832
The business of law can be
summed up in three words.
425
00:18:14,832 --> 00:18:16,182
It'’s a business.
426
00:18:16,182 --> 00:18:17,705
Rule number one-- get your fee.
427
00:18:17,705 --> 00:18:19,620
Rule number two through
ten-- get your fee.
428
00:18:19,620 --> 00:18:21,056
The second you start
to waver on that,
429
00:18:21,056 --> 00:18:22,971
the minute you begin to
engage in analysis--
430
00:18:22,971 --> 00:18:24,842
"Well, do I do
this one for free?"
431
00:18:24,842 --> 00:18:26,801
"Should I cut my price here?"
"Have a heart there"--
432
00:18:26,801 --> 00:18:29,064
the second you start
to do that, you are done.
433
00:18:29,064 --> 00:18:31,588
What you have to offer are
your skills, whether it be for
434
00:18:31,588 --> 00:18:33,590
Jason Barrows or a man fighting
the death penalty, whoever.
435
00:18:33,590 --> 00:18:36,376
If you'’re not in the position
to provide those skills,
436
00:18:36,376 --> 00:18:38,508
then all of your clients,
every one of them, suffer.
437
00:18:38,508 --> 00:18:41,207
How do you lose the opportunity
to provide those skills, Adam?
438
00:18:41,207 --> 00:18:44,210
By forgetting it'’s a business.
439
00:18:44,210 --> 00:18:46,081
Never, ever,
everdo that.
440
00:18:46,081 --> 00:18:47,865
That is my advice to you[printer whirring]
441
00:18:47,865 --> 00:18:50,955
for which you will be billed.
442
00:18:56,135 --> 00:19:00,226
It began, uh,
a little out of anger,
443
00:19:00,226 --> 00:19:02,706
a little out
of jealousy, I guess.
444
00:19:02,706 --> 00:19:05,100
How so?
445
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:07,276
Well...
446
00:19:07,276 --> 00:19:09,800
there were a lot
of popular girls,
447
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,411
the pretty girls.
448
00:19:11,411 --> 00:19:13,761
A clique that...
449
00:19:13,761 --> 00:19:16,111
they would just make comments
on my looks,
450
00:19:16,111 --> 00:19:18,200
or clothes,
451
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,246
my complexion
during sophomore year.
452
00:19:20,246 --> 00:19:22,509
When I started blogging,
453
00:19:22,509 --> 00:19:25,599
it was mainly about sniping
back at them a little.
454
00:19:25,599 --> 00:19:28,428
And people started reading it.
455
00:19:28,428 --> 00:19:31,300
Suddenly, I...
456
00:19:31,300 --> 00:19:33,607
Well, I was being noticed.
457
00:19:33,607 --> 00:19:36,436
For the first time,
I actually existed at school.
458
00:19:36,436 --> 00:19:39,221
And this all started when?
459
00:19:39,221 --> 00:19:41,092
The beginning
of junior year.
460
00:19:41,092 --> 00:19:43,138
And as the blog
got more popular,
461
00:19:43,138 --> 00:19:46,968
I expanded my target base,
I guess.
462
00:19:46,968 --> 00:19:48,970
Everybody was fair game.
463
00:19:48,970 --> 00:19:51,233
And at some point,
Hannah became fair game?
464
00:19:51,233 --> 00:19:52,713
Yes.
465
00:19:52,713 --> 00:19:55,629
You went after
her for being gay.
466
00:19:55,629 --> 00:19:59,633
Well, I went after her
for denying it.
467
00:19:59,633 --> 00:20:01,722
We have plenty of gay
people at Winwood.
468
00:20:01,722 --> 00:20:03,637
Two of my
friends are gay.
469
00:20:03,637 --> 00:20:05,378
I targeted Hannah because...
470
00:20:05,378 --> 00:20:08,119
Well, my reason,
471
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,339
flawed as it was,
472
00:20:10,339 --> 00:20:12,472
is that she wasn'’t promoting
gay equality
473
00:20:12,472 --> 00:20:13,908
by living in the closet.
474
00:20:13,908 --> 00:20:15,344
Did you think for a second
475
00:20:15,344 --> 00:20:16,911
how your words
might make Hannah feel?
476
00:20:19,609 --> 00:20:21,002
Not enough.
477
00:20:21,002 --> 00:20:25,528
I pride myself
on being a journalist, but
478
00:20:25,528 --> 00:20:29,315
I wish I had been more
of a human being.
479
00:20:29,315 --> 00:20:33,623
Did you know Hannah
Wells personally?
480
00:20:33,623 --> 00:20:35,756
Some.
481
00:20:35,756 --> 00:20:40,064
Did she strike you
as psychologically vulnerable?
482
00:20:40,064 --> 00:20:43,198
If anything, I thought
she was thick-skinned.
483
00:20:43,198 --> 00:20:45,200
A few times,
after some of the blogs,
484
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:46,680
she threatened to beat me up.
485
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,029
She threatened
to beat you up?
486
00:20:48,029 --> 00:20:49,987
Which made me...
487
00:20:49,987 --> 00:20:53,382
If anything,
I amped it up some to show...
488
00:20:53,382 --> 00:20:55,210
I don'’t know.
489
00:20:55,210 --> 00:20:58,474
I really thought she was tough.
490
00:20:58,474 --> 00:21:01,564
HARRY:
But she wasn'’t that tough.
491
00:21:01,564 --> 00:21:05,220
[voice breaking]:
No.
492
00:21:05,220 --> 00:21:07,788
[crying]:
I am so sorry.
493
00:21:07,788 --> 00:21:12,009
If I could fix this, or
494
00:21:12,009 --> 00:21:14,055
take it all back, I...
495
00:21:14,055 --> 00:21:15,970
[crying]
496
00:21:15,970 --> 00:21:17,624
I'’m so, so sorry.
497
00:21:17,624 --> 00:21:19,452
[sniffling]
498
00:21:19,452 --> 00:21:23,760
Your Honor, perhaps
we could take a short break?
499
00:21:25,109 --> 00:21:27,068
[sniffling]
500
00:21:30,201 --> 00:21:31,899
It was very popular,
501
00:21:31,899 --> 00:21:33,422
this particular blog
about Hannah, wasn'’t it?
502
00:21:33,422 --> 00:21:36,512
Got some good traction,
more and more hits.
503
00:21:36,512 --> 00:21:38,035
Gay bashing was
good for business.
504
00:21:38,035 --> 00:21:39,472
SELA:
I'’m not proud of that,
505
00:21:39,472 --> 00:21:43,084
but I wouldn'’t be
the first journalist to...
506
00:21:43,084 --> 00:21:46,305
To what, pander to
indecent levels of...
507
00:21:46,305 --> 00:21:47,871
Objection.JUDGE: Sustained.
508
00:21:47,871 --> 00:21:49,438
You'’re the snark queen.
509
00:21:49,438 --> 00:21:52,180
You became the It Girl
by being mean to others,
510
00:21:52,180 --> 00:21:54,400
isn'’t that right, Sela?Yes.
511
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,140
And you refer to yourself
as a journalist.
512
00:21:56,140 --> 00:21:57,881
Are you a big fan of journalism?
513
00:21:57,881 --> 00:21:59,883
Yes.
514
00:21:59,883 --> 00:22:02,364
You read newspapers, blogs,
that sort of thing?
Yes.
515
00:22:02,364 --> 00:22:04,148
And did you ever have
an occasion to read
516
00:22:04,148 --> 00:22:06,586
any articles about the
proliferation of teen suicides
517
00:22:06,586 --> 00:22:08,414
as a result of cyber-bullying?
518
00:22:08,414 --> 00:22:10,633
Yes.
519
00:22:10,633 --> 00:22:12,592
And did that give you any pause
520
00:22:12,592 --> 00:22:15,856
before calling Hannah
Wells a box fairy?
521
00:22:15,856 --> 00:22:19,033
About soliciting the entire
student body to torment her?
522
00:22:21,209 --> 00:22:26,649
Did the articles on teen
suicide give you pause, Sela?
523
00:22:30,087 --> 00:22:31,088
Not enough.
524
00:22:31,088 --> 00:22:33,047
You stated...
525
00:22:33,047 --> 00:22:35,876
that Hannah once threatened
526
00:22:35,876 --> 00:22:38,052
to assault you,
and then, after that,
527
00:22:38,052 --> 00:22:40,359
you amped up the cruelty,
am I right?
528
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:41,360
A little, yes.
529
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:43,013
A little?
530
00:22:43,013 --> 00:22:45,842
You actually stopped calling her
by her name altogether.
531
00:22:45,842 --> 00:22:47,322
Instead, you call...
532
00:22:47,322 --> 00:22:49,237
Well, why don'’t you tell us?
533
00:22:49,237 --> 00:22:51,370
What did you start calling
Hannah in your blog?
534
00:22:53,459 --> 00:22:55,069
Twat Bandit.
535
00:22:55,069 --> 00:22:58,159
And on the Wednesday before
she took her life,
536
00:22:58,159 --> 00:23:02,468
when you started calling on her
classmates to help her come out,
537
00:23:02,468 --> 00:23:05,166
what was the title of that blog,
do you remember?
538
00:23:05,166 --> 00:23:06,385
[sniffs]
539
00:23:07,647 --> 00:23:09,953
"Tuna Helpers."
540
00:23:09,953 --> 00:23:11,128
Yeah.
541
00:23:12,260 --> 00:23:14,610
Could you...
542
00:23:14,610 --> 00:23:16,395
please read
the last two lines
543
00:23:16,395 --> 00:23:18,658
of the Wednesday
blog for us?
544
00:23:23,445 --> 00:23:25,926
"Let'’s all be Tuna Helpers.
545
00:23:25,926 --> 00:23:28,972
"Give Twat Bandit a nod
as you pass her in the hall.
546
00:23:28,972 --> 00:23:31,279
Let her know we know."
547
00:23:31,279 --> 00:23:33,107
I guess she got the message.
548
00:23:33,107 --> 00:23:35,501
Objection.Sustained.
549
00:23:35,501 --> 00:23:37,111
[crying]
550
00:23:37,894 --> 00:23:39,461
I'’m sorry, Sela.
551
00:23:39,461 --> 00:23:42,856
I know this is a really
tough day for you.
552
00:23:42,856 --> 00:23:45,336
Do you see the people
sitting over there?
553
00:23:48,992 --> 00:23:50,777
Imagine the day they had.
554
00:23:50,777 --> 00:23:52,561
Objection!
Sustained.
555
00:23:52,561 --> 00:23:54,389
[crying]
556
00:24:11,537 --> 00:24:13,364
She got pretty clobbered.
557
00:24:13,364 --> 00:24:16,367
Mendelsohn is like
the quiet assassin.
558
00:24:16,367 --> 00:24:18,457
So, what, you have
closing arguments left?
559
00:24:18,457 --> 00:24:20,284
Yeah. That'’s all.
560
00:24:20,284 --> 00:24:22,461
Harry, can I steal you away
for a second?
561
00:24:24,027 --> 00:24:25,246
Jenna...
562
00:24:25,246 --> 00:24:26,595
if you really
563
00:24:26,595 --> 00:24:28,989
want to go, of course
you can go.
564
00:24:28,989 --> 00:24:31,948
And if this shoe thing is
what speaks to you,
565
00:24:31,948 --> 00:24:34,734
of course you should go.
566
00:24:34,734 --> 00:24:38,694
Really?I was just a little
mad, that'’s all.
567
00:24:38,694 --> 00:24:40,000
I mean...
568
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,784
you bugged
me for so long,
569
00:24:41,784 --> 00:24:46,963
now that I got attached
to you-- really attached...
570
00:24:46,963 --> 00:24:49,183
Harry, that'’s...
571
00:24:49,183 --> 00:24:51,620
that'’s one of the nicest things
that you'’ve ever said to me.
572
00:24:51,620 --> 00:24:53,317
When?
573
00:24:53,317 --> 00:24:54,493
Just now.
574
00:24:54,493 --> 00:24:55,842
You said it just now.
575
00:24:57,104 --> 00:24:58,627
When would you be leaving?
576
00:24:58,627 --> 00:25:01,543
Oh, um... soon.
577
00:25:01,543 --> 00:25:02,718
HARRY:
Just do me a favor
and say good-bye
578
00:25:02,718 --> 00:25:04,328
before you walk
out the door,
579
00:25:04,328 --> 00:25:06,679
okay?
Why wouldn'’t I?
580
00:25:06,679 --> 00:25:08,507
'’Cause it'’s what you do.
You told me.
581
00:25:08,507 --> 00:25:09,551
You get all weepy
with good-byes,
582
00:25:09,551 --> 00:25:10,857
and so you just avoid them.
583
00:25:10,857 --> 00:25:14,208
I just want my
chance to... well...
584
00:25:14,208 --> 00:25:17,907
tell you what you'’ve meant
to this place and... to me.
585
00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:22,521
That was even nicer
than the last...
586
00:25:24,044 --> 00:25:25,741
See?
587
00:25:25,741 --> 00:25:28,004
First Malcolm going off
to school, now Jenna...
588
00:25:28,004 --> 00:25:29,702
Too much change for me.
589
00:25:32,574 --> 00:25:36,535
Well, actually,
there'’s a little more of it.
590
00:25:36,535 --> 00:25:37,797
What do you mean?
591
00:25:37,797 --> 00:25:39,581
I'’ve been talking
to Ollie.
592
00:25:41,104 --> 00:25:42,671
He'’s going to be joining.
593
00:25:42,671 --> 00:25:44,586
Ollie Richard?!Oh, great.
594
00:25:44,586 --> 00:25:45,674
He won'’t try to
sleep with you.
595
00:25:45,674 --> 00:25:47,023
He gave me his word.
596
00:25:47,023 --> 00:25:48,372
Ollie Richard
is joining this firm?
597
00:25:48,372 --> 00:25:50,766
Take it outside?
598
00:25:52,942 --> 00:25:54,553
I'’ll talk to him.
599
00:25:56,859 --> 00:25:58,252
Thrilled?
600
00:25:58,252 --> 00:26:01,342
Beyond.
601
00:26:04,650 --> 00:26:07,087
Hey.
602
00:26:14,703 --> 00:26:16,096
You remember the big
sell you gave me
603
00:26:16,096 --> 00:26:17,576
when you talked me
into coming here?
604
00:26:17,576 --> 00:26:20,622
How this firm was
gonna grow and expand?
605
00:26:20,622 --> 00:26:23,277
Oliver Richard gets us
there a lot faster.
606
00:26:23,277 --> 00:26:26,149
He'’s a pretty big litigator
and a serious rainmaker.
607
00:26:26,149 --> 00:26:29,675
This is probably
a good thing.
608
00:26:29,675 --> 00:26:31,372
It'’s just... this place.
609
00:26:31,372 --> 00:26:34,288
Jenna and Malcolm leaving,
now him coming...
610
00:26:36,943 --> 00:26:39,206
I'’m afraid
we'’re gonna lose what...
611
00:26:43,210 --> 00:26:44,864
I really don'’t like him.
612
00:26:44,864 --> 00:26:46,822
I know you don'’t.
613
00:26:48,694 --> 00:26:51,044
Together we'’ll handle him.
614
00:27:12,282 --> 00:27:13,457
Oh!
[laughs]
615
00:27:13,457 --> 00:27:14,633
My bad, sorry.No worries.
616
00:27:14,633 --> 00:27:16,069
Hey, Tommy...
617
00:27:17,548 --> 00:27:19,725
For what it'’s worth,
618
00:27:19,725 --> 00:27:21,161
you know that thing
you said about us
619
00:27:21,161 --> 00:27:23,119
having a duty of good faith
to each other?
620
00:27:24,860 --> 00:27:27,863
I think that'’s
a noble principle.
621
00:27:27,863 --> 00:27:30,126
You do?
Yeah.
622
00:27:30,126 --> 00:27:32,128
Probably includes
an obligation
623
00:27:32,128 --> 00:27:34,174
to act in a way
that doesn'’t reflect
624
00:27:34,174 --> 00:27:37,264
poorly or unethically
on each other, right?
625
00:27:43,487 --> 00:27:45,446
MENDELSOHN:
The question
626
00:27:45,446 --> 00:27:47,274
I keep asking myself is,
627
00:27:47,274 --> 00:27:50,973
how does a seemingly sweet kid
from a good home,
628
00:27:50,973 --> 00:27:53,846
no disciplinary problem,
a fine student,
629
00:27:53,846 --> 00:27:58,546
turn into the type of person
who would write
630
00:27:58,546 --> 00:28:01,157
the vicious things
that were said about Hannah?
631
00:28:01,157 --> 00:28:03,899
Is there something going
on in the world today?
632
00:28:03,899 --> 00:28:05,901
Is there something in the
water that teenagers are...?
633
00:28:05,901 --> 00:28:08,687
We are seeing
634
00:28:08,687 --> 00:28:11,037
such an increase in bullying,
635
00:28:11,037 --> 00:28:14,257
especially toward our gay
and lesbian students.
636
00:28:14,257 --> 00:28:18,653
In Ohio, one in four
sexual minority students
637
00:28:18,653 --> 00:28:21,874
reports being
physically assaulted--
638
00:28:21,874 --> 00:28:26,182
punched, kicked,
attacked with a weapon.
639
00:28:26,182 --> 00:28:30,186
One in three
is physically harassed.
640
00:28:30,186 --> 00:28:34,582
A full 70% is otherwise
sexually harassed.
641
00:28:34,582 --> 00:28:37,019
And this is just
the tip of the iceberg.
642
00:28:37,019 --> 00:28:39,630
Most incidents go unreported.
643
00:28:39,630 --> 00:28:42,068
The torment that
Hannah Wells
644
00:28:42,068 --> 00:28:44,592
was subjected to either by
645
00:28:44,592 --> 00:28:47,247
or at the direction
of the defendant
646
00:28:47,247 --> 00:28:50,554
was unrelentingly mean...
647
00:28:50,554 --> 00:28:54,733
and what I, I find
especially disturbing...
648
00:28:54,733 --> 00:28:57,039
and frankly
a little difficult to fathom
649
00:28:57,039 --> 00:28:59,172
is that the defendant knew--
650
00:28:59,172 --> 00:29:01,435
she knew--
651
00:29:01,435 --> 00:29:03,829
about the proliferation
of teen suicide
652
00:29:03,829 --> 00:29:07,397
as a result of this very type
of cyber-bullying.
653
00:29:07,397 --> 00:29:12,054
This tragedy was
utterly foreseeable.
654
00:29:12,054 --> 00:29:14,491
The question
becomes,
655
00:29:14,491 --> 00:29:17,451
how long do we, as a society,
656
00:29:17,451 --> 00:29:19,758
just let it go on?
657
00:29:22,586 --> 00:29:26,329
Well, you 12 people,
658
00:29:26,329 --> 00:29:28,941
you represent society today.
659
00:29:28,941 --> 00:29:31,595
It'’s your call.
660
00:29:31,595 --> 00:29:34,773
As a citizenry, you either
react responsibly
661
00:29:34,773 --> 00:29:36,862
to this madness...
662
00:29:37,950 --> 00:29:40,082
...or you don'’t.
663
00:29:41,997 --> 00:29:46,393
You either accept it...
or you don'’t.
664
00:30:09,372 --> 00:30:11,984
I don'’t think anybody
in this room, including Sela,
665
00:30:11,984 --> 00:30:15,030
would dispute
that she was out of line
666
00:30:15,030 --> 00:30:19,948
and perhaps even bears some
responsibility for this tragedy.
667
00:30:19,948 --> 00:30:22,385
But to charge her
with a homicide?
668
00:30:24,518 --> 00:30:26,172
Ms. Mendelsohn asked
the question,
669
00:30:26,172 --> 00:30:27,695
how does a decent kid like Sela
670
00:30:27,695 --> 00:30:29,436
become a vicious snark queen?
671
00:30:29,436 --> 00:30:31,960
It didn'’t happen in a vacuum,
you can be sure of that.
672
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,877
Consider the world
she'’s been raised in.
673
00:30:35,877 --> 00:30:39,576
Cruelty sells,
and it sells big.
674
00:30:39,576 --> 00:30:43,363
The most successful blogs flaunt
their snark badges.
675
00:30:43,363 --> 00:30:46,714
The Huffington Post, the
Daily Beast, Perez Hilton--
676
00:30:46,714 --> 00:30:48,324
have you read these things?
677
00:30:48,324 --> 00:30:49,891
And newspapers, too.
678
00:30:49,891 --> 00:30:51,980
Page Six of the New York...
whatever.
679
00:30:51,980 --> 00:30:53,677
And how about television?
680
00:30:53,677 --> 00:30:56,637
Cable news shows
trade on mean.
681
00:30:56,637 --> 00:30:57,943
Some of these media darlings--
682
00:30:57,943 --> 00:31:00,771
Ann Coulter called
Al Gore a fag.
683
00:31:00,771 --> 00:31:03,513
Glenn Beck, Keith Olbermann,
Bill Maher,
684
00:31:03,513 --> 00:31:07,648
Rush Limbaugh-- they don'’t get
sanctioned for being cruel,
685
00:31:07,648 --> 00:31:08,910
they get book deals.
686
00:31:08,910 --> 00:31:11,565
This is our media, folks.
687
00:31:11,565 --> 00:31:13,741
Sela didn'’t invent mean.
688
00:31:13,741 --> 00:31:17,397
As for insensitivity
toward gays,
689
00:31:17,397 --> 00:31:20,835
again, consider the society
Sela'’s grown up in--
690
00:31:20,835 --> 00:31:22,532
"don'’t ask, don'’t tell"
in the military--
691
00:31:22,532 --> 00:31:24,839
what was that?
692
00:31:24,839 --> 00:31:26,406
Up until a few months ago,
it was okay
693
00:31:26,406 --> 00:31:28,538
for a kid to fight
and die for his country,
694
00:31:28,538 --> 00:31:30,279
perhaps even get
his legs blown off
695
00:31:30,279 --> 00:31:33,021
by an IED, but God forbid
696
00:31:33,021 --> 00:31:36,503
he admit to anyone he was gay.
697
00:31:36,503 --> 00:31:40,289
Same-sex marriage-- Americans
sure hate that one, don'’t we?
698
00:31:40,289 --> 00:31:42,074
Even the liberal Californians
reared up
699
00:31:42,074 --> 00:31:44,337
and said,
"Uh-uh, not in my backyard."
700
00:31:44,337 --> 00:31:46,121
Under federal law,
701
00:31:46,121 --> 00:31:47,949
it'’s still legal
to discriminate
702
00:31:47,949 --> 00:31:49,908
against gays in the workplace.
703
00:31:49,908 --> 00:31:51,170
Did you know that?
704
00:31:51,170 --> 00:31:54,651
This is who and what
we are as a nation,
705
00:31:54,651 --> 00:31:58,699
so, please, let'’s not lay
all this on Sela'’s doorstep.
706
00:32:00,266 --> 00:32:03,225
Now let'’s turn
to the real question.
707
00:32:04,792 --> 00:32:08,317
Did Sela cause Hannah'’s death?
708
00:32:08,317 --> 00:32:13,235
This was a suicide,
not a homicide.
709
00:32:13,235 --> 00:32:15,846
Hannah committed suicide.
710
00:32:15,846 --> 00:32:19,938
As to why, well,
one reason could be,
711
00:32:19,938 --> 00:32:24,725
she had to grow up
keeping who she was a secret.
712
00:32:24,725 --> 00:32:27,728
Can you imagine
the sense of shame?
713
00:32:27,728 --> 00:32:30,861
She didn'’t feel
she could tell her own parents.
714
00:32:30,861 --> 00:32:34,561
For that matter,
not even her best friend.
715
00:32:34,561 --> 00:32:37,216
Clergy? Forget it.
716
00:32:37,216 --> 00:32:40,828
Being raised Catholic,
she'’d be damned for eternity.
717
00:32:42,612 --> 00:32:45,659
The deep-rooted biases,
the slights,
718
00:32:45,659 --> 00:32:47,966
the looks of disgust.
719
00:32:49,619 --> 00:32:53,754
This was the world
Hannah Wells grew up in.
720
00:32:55,147 --> 00:32:57,192
And she couldn'’t even
take offense
721
00:32:57,192 --> 00:33:00,108
for fear of being revealed
as gay.
722
00:33:00,108 --> 00:33:02,110
This was Hannah'’s life.
723
00:33:03,982 --> 00:33:07,246
And it wasn'’t
Sela Vinson'’s doing.
724
00:33:07,246 --> 00:33:11,424
Ms. Mendelsohn asks you
to react responsibly to this.
725
00:33:11,424 --> 00:33:13,904
I agree.
726
00:33:13,904 --> 00:33:18,692
But the least responsible thing
you could possibly do, by far,
727
00:33:18,692 --> 00:33:22,783
would be to trivialize
this deep-seated problem
728
00:33:22,783 --> 00:33:28,136
by blaming one high school kid
with a snark blog.
729

730
00:33:57,513 --> 00:33:59,689
I'’m sure it'’s just
an oversight, my friend,
731
00:33:59,689 --> 00:34:01,517
but I haven'’t received your
check for services rendered.
732
00:34:01,517 --> 00:34:02,823

when I advised you
733
00:34:02,823 --> 00:34:04,781
how to correctly
practice law.
734
00:34:04,781 --> 00:34:06,305
I'’m not paying you, Tommy.
735
00:34:06,305 --> 00:34:07,697
That would
make you a deadbeat.
736
00:34:07,697 --> 00:34:09,569
You don'’t want to get
the rep of being
737
00:34:09,569 --> 00:34:11,614
both a loser
and a deadbeat.

a little fun.
741
00:34:20,058 --> 00:34:22,190
Plus, to show
good faith,
742
00:34:22,190 --> 00:34:25,280
I gave the policy proceeds
to your guy.
743
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:26,542
You did?
744

No, but nice try.

It used to be you
and me, essentially.

I-I was part of
the nucleus.
753

No, I'’m not.

757

Plus, the reason I came,
if you remember, was you.

by side, to...
759

since we moved in here.
760

That'’s all.
761
00:35:29,388 --> 00:35:31,694
The night before we
moved in here,
762
00:35:31,694 --> 00:35:35,872
I got taken by ambulance
to a hospital.
763
00:35:35,872 --> 00:35:38,266
I thought I was having
a heart attack.
764
00:35:38,266 --> 00:35:40,660
Turned out
to be angina
765
00:35:40,660 --> 00:35:43,358
caused by some kind
of stress.
766
00:35:43,358 --> 00:35:47,797

stressing about is this place.

my playing prime.

Well, I guess I don'’t
have to worry about Jenna.

775

No, but it'’s...

Bringing Ollie in,
777
00:36:14,302 --> 00:36:17,305
this place will go on
with or without me now.

peace of mind...
779
00:36:21,353 --> 00:36:25,879
I think this will be
a good thing for everybody.
780
00:36:29,012 --> 00:36:31,841

here as an associate?
