00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:06,900
Hi
3
00:00:06,901 --> 00:00:08,101
Hey!
4
00:00:09,802 --> 00:00:11,202
I'm Tessa
5
00:00:11,203 --> 00:00:12,703
4C
6
00:00:12,704 --> 00:00:14,204
Hi! Uh... Eli
7
00:00:14,205 --> 00:00:16,005
Penthouse A
8
00:00:16,105 --> 00:00:18,705
I just moved in over the weekend, from Buffalo
9
00:00:18,706 --> 00:00:21,106
Oh yeah? Um... Welcome to the building!
10
00:00:21,107 --> 00:00:22,407
And the West Coast
11
00:00:22,408 --> 00:00:23,508
Thank you!
12
00:00:23,509 --> 00:00:25,209
Yeah, it's been kind of a whirlwind
13
00:00:25,210 --> 00:00:27,910
New job, new apartment, new life
14
00:00:27,911 --> 00:00:30,211
Did the new life thing myself last year
15
00:00:30,212 --> 00:00:32,512
Really? So you're an expert then
16
00:00:32,513 --> 00:00:34,813
Hah! Happy to share my insights
17
00:00:34,814 --> 00:00:36,214
It's the least I can do
18
00:00:38,315 --> 00:00:40,215
I thought they got these things fixed
19
00:00:42,016 --> 00:00:42,816
What do you mean?
20
00:00:42,817 --> 00:00:45,117
That I thought they fixed these things
21
00:00:51,318 --> 00:00:52,718
What?
22
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:58,619
It's a vision... it's a vision... it's a vision... vision!!!!
23
00:01:03,820 --> 00:01:07,020
Um... It was really nice meeting you
24
00:01:09,821 --> 00:01:11,221
Yeah
25
00:01:11,222 --> 00:01:14,022
I'm going crazy! What the hell are you gonna do about it?
26
00:01:15,223 --> 00:01:16,323
Well?
27
00:01:16,324 --> 00:01:17,724
Can't you let me have my english muffin first?
28
00:01:17,725 --> 00:01:20,325
That man is driving me out of my mind
29
00:01:20,326 --> 00:01:23,026
Which man exactly is behind the Patty-Go-Bunkers week?
30
00:01:23,027 --> 00:01:25,127
Jim Norris, annoying accountant
31
00:01:25,128 --> 00:01:30,828
The guy you know that Jordan in his infinite
stupidity decided to rent out office space to
32
00:01:30,829 --> 00:01:32,529
We need the money Patty
33
00:01:32,530 --> 00:01:36,430
Recently the firm's been hemorraging worse than my brain
34
00:01:36,431 --> 00:01:38,831
You're gonna represent the me after I kill him, right?
35
00:01:38,832 --> 00:01:44,932
Because I'm gonna need one hell of a lawyer to get me off
after the jury hears the gory details of what I did to him
36
00:01:44,933 --> 00:01:47,633
The guy pays his rent on time and in full
37
00:01:47,634 --> 00:01:49,434
He won't stop bothering me, Eli!
38
00:01:49,435 --> 00:01:53,435
Patty, the coffee machine is out of filters.
Patty, the copier's jammed
39
00:01:53,436 --> 00:01:55,536
Patty, the men's room is out of TP
40
00:01:55,537 --> 00:01:57,137
I don't do TP!
41
00:01:57,138 --> 00:01:59,638
You made that memorably and terrifyingly clear the day we met
42
00:02:00,939 --> 00:02:02,439
Let me be clear Taylor
43
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,840
The odds of Jordan Wethersby winning the Joel T. Belmont award this year
44
00:02:05,841 --> 00:02:10,241
Are somewhere between when pigs fly and when hell freezes over
45
00:02:10,242 --> 00:02:11,442
Hold on
46
00:02:11,443 --> 00:02:12,443
Room service
47
00:02:13,744 --> 00:02:16,344
You do realize I placed this order over an hour ago
48
00:02:16,345 --> 00:02:18,845
Apologies sir, the kitchen's packed up
49
00:02:18,846 --> 00:02:20,846
Sweetheart, with the firm's precarious financial situation
50
00:02:20,847 --> 00:02:26,647
I'm not sure we should be spending money buying a table
at an award's dinner where I am not going to win an award
51
00:02:28,348 --> 00:02:30,948
Fine, if it's so important to you then purchase the table
52
00:02:30,949 --> 00:02:32,949
I'll be at the office soon
53
00:02:38,550 --> 00:02:41,150
I ordered an eggwhite only omelette
54
00:02:41,151 --> 00:02:43,851
This is the third order you people have screwed up already this week
55
00:02:43,852 --> 00:02:45,252
How terrible for you
56
00:02:45,253 --> 00:02:45,853
Excuse me?
57
00:02:45,854 --> 00:02:48,754
Oh, I'm just expressing sympathy for your whole omelette tragedy
58
00:02:48,755 --> 00:02:50,955
How terrible to have to eat yellow eggs
59
00:02:50,956 --> 00:02:52,656
I'm really sorry
60
00:02:52,657 --> 00:02:53,657
Don't leave
61
00:02:54,658 --> 00:02:56,358
I'd like the name of your supervisor
62
00:02:56,359 --> 00:02:57,559
So you can get me fired?
63
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:58,860
I don't know who you think you are
64
00:02:58,861 --> 00:03:01,961
But you can't talk to people like this
65
00:03:01,962 --> 00:03:03,362
You just talked to me like this
66
00:03:03,363 --> 00:03:04,863
You think because you live in a hotel room
67
00:03:04,864 --> 00:03:07,664
You wear a 5.000 dollar suit, you're better than me?
68
00:03:07,665 --> 00:03:10,065
If anything that makes you worse
69
00:03:10,066 --> 00:03:11,366
Makes you just like the rest of them
70
00:03:11,367 --> 00:03:12,167
The rest of whom?
71
00:03:12,168 --> 00:03:12,968
What do you care?
72
00:03:12,969 --> 00:03:15,769
You... obviously have something you wanna say
73
00:03:15,770 --> 00:03:16,870
Why don't you say it?
74
00:03:18,171 --> 00:03:22,071
Them is guys like you
75
00:03:22,672 --> 00:03:26,272
Modern day rubber bearants that are sucking this country dry
76
00:03:29,673 --> 00:03:32,573
As it happens I'm an attorney
77
00:03:32,574 --> 00:03:36,474
And I used to represent many of those rubber bearants
78
00:03:36,475 --> 00:03:40,975
Well I used to work for them. Why did you stop?
79
00:03:40,976 --> 00:03:43,776
We had a mutual parting of the ways
80
00:03:43,777 --> 00:03:44,777
Yourself?
81
00:03:44,778 --> 00:03:46,878
I just had a transition to food service
82
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:48,679
You were fired
83
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,280
I think the fashionable term is downsized
84
00:03:51,281 --> 00:03:52,681
You were fired for cause?
85
00:03:52,682 --> 00:03:54,882
If by that you mean, did they have a reason? Yeah!
86
00:03:54,883 --> 00:03:59,783
Yeah, they had to give Clayton Wells the
ex-CEO a 43 million dollars severance
87
00:03:59,784 --> 00:04:02,984
So to come up with the money they
laid off me and 300 of my co-workers
88
00:04:02,985 --> 00:04:06,685
Have you considered suing to get your old job back?
89
00:04:06,686 --> 00:04:10,586
First thing I thought of before I realized there probably
weren't too many lawyers willing to work for free
90
00:04:10,587 --> 00:04:16,387
Oh, as luck would have it. You brought
the wrong eggs to the right lawyer
91
00:04:16,388 --> 00:04:18,788
Complete and total victory
92
00:04:18,789 --> 00:04:20,389
Thank Applematics
93
00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:22,790
Mr. Allen's unconditional surrender
94
00:04:22,791 --> 00:04:27,391
Make the best to ruin the day they dared to sue a client, a Posner client
95
00:04:27,392 --> 00:04:28,292
Not to worry sir
96
00:04:28,293 --> 00:04:30,693
Shaken Technologies won't pay a dime in damages
97
00:04:30,694 --> 00:04:32,794
Yes? Ms. Dekker?
98
00:04:32,795 --> 00:04:36,795
Oh I, I thought Matt Dowd was handling Shaken
99
00:04:36,796 --> 00:04:38,796
Mr. Dowd has left us
100
00:04:38,797 --> 00:04:43,697
For the decidedly ungreener pasters of Wethersby Stone and Associates
101
00:04:43,698 --> 00:04:48,098
Summing forth oh it gives me great pleasure to announce that
102
00:04:48,099 --> 00:04:49,899
According to inside sources
103
00:04:49,900 --> 00:04:54,800
One of our very own has at long last
been nominated for the California Bar's
104
00:04:54,801 --> 00:04:57,201
Joel T. Belmont Award
105
00:04:57,202 --> 00:04:58,302
Me
106
00:05:00,803 --> 00:05:07,403
The firm has purchased a half dozen tables at the
awards banquet attendance and applause is mandatory
107
00:05:09,004 --> 00:05:09,704
Sir?
108
00:05:09,705 --> 00:05:10,505
What's this?
109
00:05:10,506 --> 00:05:14,906
I'm listening to Jordan Wethersby accept the last six Belmonts
110
00:05:14,907 --> 00:05:18,307
I've had occasion to draft down a few stray musings of my own
111
00:05:18,308 --> 00:05:21,608
And I'd be most grateful if you two pulled your literary talents and
112
00:05:21,609 --> 00:05:24,809
Type them up into a puff-o acceptance speech
113
00:05:24,810 --> 00:05:26,910
Feel free to be brilliant
114
00:05:30,611 --> 00:05:33,811
I think I speak for us all when I say how happy we are that Mr. Dowd
115
00:05:33,812 --> 00:05:36,612
Has returned to our somewhat empty nest
116
00:05:36,613 --> 00:05:38,513
Thank you sir. It's good to be back
117
00:05:38,514 --> 00:05:42,014
And I'm not alone before I left Posner
and Klein I drove the line in the water
118
00:05:42,015 --> 00:05:45,415
To see if any of their clients would consider leaving with me
119
00:05:45,416 --> 00:05:46,316
Did any?
120
00:05:46,317 --> 00:05:48,817
H. C. Clemens, if you want them they're yours
121
00:05:48,818 --> 00:05:54,318
H. C. Clemens won a no-bid contract to build the
fort of new houses in New Orleans after Katrina
122
00:05:54,319 --> 00:05:56,319
Exactly how many of those houses did they end up building?
123
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,520
They're board isn't exactly made up of saints
Keith, show me the company whose is
124
00:05:59,521 --> 00:06:02,521
I don't see how this firm, which is dedicated to foster social justice
125
00:06:02,522 --> 00:06:06,022
Can represent a company that got rich not helping victims of a natural disaster
126
00:06:06,023 --> 00:06:08,923
This isn't about clear consciences, it's about clear checks
127
00:06:08,924 --> 00:06:11,024
I thought you guys were having trouble keeping the lights on
128
00:06:11,025 --> 00:06:12,425
I think we should consider it
129
00:06:12,426 --> 00:06:16,026
H.C. Clemens is a fortune 500 hundred company with profits into billions
130
00:06:16,027 --> 00:06:19,627
Which doesn't exactly live up to the reputation we've been cultivating
131
00:06:19,628 --> 00:06:20,428
I won't represent them
132
00:06:20,429 --> 00:06:22,329
This minute walk from me
133
00:06:22,330 --> 00:06:26,730
And we're all right behind you if this firm doesn't
begin taking cases that end in getting paid
134
00:06:26,731 --> 00:06:29,931
H.C. Clemens currently has the legal representation it deserves
135
00:06:29,932 --> 00:06:30,332
Jordan
136
00:06:30,333 --> 00:06:36,233
And in any case I've already been retained by
a new client who requires our attention
137
00:06:36,234 --> 00:06:37,034
Who?
138
00:06:37,035 --> 00:06:39,635
A gentleman in his middle years who lost his job
139
00:06:39,636 --> 00:06:41,436
Due to corporate greed
140
00:06:41,437 --> 00:06:44,337
As a general rule midlife crisis don't make a lot of money
141
00:06:46,138 --> 00:06:48,338
But what's money compared to a good cause?
142
00:06:48,339 --> 00:06:50,739
Are you sure about this?
143
00:06:50,740 --> 00:06:52,340
I'm aware of the firm's plight Eli
144
00:06:52,341 --> 00:06:57,841
But we began this endeavor of ours with a clear idea of the
kind of cases we wanted to be associated with
145
00:06:57,842 --> 00:07:02,242
This suit against Everton is about basing right and wrong
146
00:07:02,243 --> 00:07:07,343
If it is to be our last crusade then let that
case be something we can all believe in
147
00:07:07,344 --> 00:07:11,944
To end otherwise, would not be to complete our quest with grace
148
00:07:13,845 --> 00:07:16,645
Should I take the look on your face to mean you don't agree?
149
00:07:16,646 --> 00:07:21,646
Not at all... I just... You said grace. Made me think of Grace
150
00:07:21,647 --> 00:07:23,847
Ah, the would-be love of your life
151
00:07:24,548 --> 00:07:25,948
Patty gossips
152
00:07:26,749 --> 00:07:28,749
So she's in Africa?
153
00:07:28,750 --> 00:07:29,950
Kenya
154
00:07:29,951 --> 00:07:36,151
Uh, looking on the bright side should our firm
close its doors you'll have the time to visit her
155
00:07:39,952 --> 00:07:43,652
Welcome aboard Keystar Airlines flight 212 out of San Francisco
156
00:07:43,653 --> 00:07:49,753
We stoppped in New York and Rome before
continuing on to our final destination: Nairobi
157
00:07:49,754 --> 00:07:51,554
Nairobi
158
00:07:53,555 --> 00:07:57,355
This plane is going... to Kenya
159
00:07:57,356 --> 00:08:03,556
As I said, your plane to Kenya doesn't
take off until after our firm crashes and burns
160
00:08:18,257 --> 00:08:21,757
Everton Financial fired my client on fraudulent grounds
161
00:08:21,758 --> 00:08:25,358
They claimed he had to be laid off because
they couldn't afford his salary
162
00:08:25,359 --> 00:08:34,159
And yet somehow found enough money to pay its disgraced
ex-CEO Clayton Wells a 43 million dollar golden parachute
163
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,560
It wasn't a golden parachute
164
00:08:35,561 --> 00:08:39,761
True. At 43 million it was more like a... diamond incrusted parachute
165
00:08:39,762 --> 00:08:41,362
It was a severance package
166
00:08:41,363 --> 00:08:44,063
Which was paid to Mr. Wells after he was fired himself
167
00:08:44,064 --> 00:08:47,364
It was his budged management that
necessitated the layouts in the first place
168
00:08:47,365 --> 00:08:52,765
And you don't find it perverse that after
being paid 220 million to do a bad job
169
00:08:52,766 --> 00:08:55,966
He got rewarded with a 43 million dollar bonus?
170
00:08:55,967 --> 00:08:57,167
It doesn't matter what I think
171
00:08:57,168 --> 00:09:01,368
There's zero basis in California statute or case law for the plaintiff's claim
172
00:09:01,369 --> 00:09:04,869
He's right Mr. Wethersby, your client was an at-will employee
173
00:09:04,870 --> 00:09:08,070
Under California law that means he could be fired at any time
174
00:09:08,071 --> 00:09:11,671
I'm sorry Your Honor, are you arguing opposing counsel's case?
175
00:09:11,672 --> 00:09:13,672
Just stating the legal facts as I see them
176
00:09:13,673 --> 00:09:16,773
Being a Judge and all, I do that sometimes
177
00:09:16,774 --> 00:09:20,374
You have failed to state a valid legal claim
178
00:09:20,375 --> 00:09:24,375
I hereby grant Everton's 12-B-6 motion to dismiss
179
00:09:31,176 --> 00:09:33,076
Mr. Lebokowski
180
00:09:36,377 --> 00:09:37,777
Lebokowski?
181
00:09:37,778 --> 00:09:39,378
That's the best name you could come up with?
182
00:09:39,379 --> 00:09:41,479
Frank Lebokowski is my given name
183
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,980
Chen is my nom-de-niro
184
00:09:47,481 --> 00:09:49,581
Look, if you're looking to talk with a certain lawyer
185
00:09:50,882 --> 00:09:52,082
I can't help you Frank
186
00:09:52,083 --> 00:09:54,283
Actually I'm looking to talk with a certain doctor
187
00:09:55,484 --> 00:09:56,184
Talk about what?
188
00:09:57,685 --> 00:09:59,185
Ok, how long has your throat been hurting?
189
00:09:59,186 --> 00:10:00,886
Uh, a few days
190
00:10:03,287 --> 00:10:04,287
How's Eli doing?
191
00:10:04,288 --> 00:10:07,088
Well he was doing great when he kicked you and me out of his apartment
192
00:10:07,089 --> 00:10:09,389
Said he didn't want to talk to either one of us again
193
00:10:09,390 --> 00:10:10,690
Any fever?
194
00:10:10,691 --> 00:10:11,591
No
195
00:10:11,592 --> 00:10:14,192
You two'll work things out
196
00:10:14,193 --> 00:10:15,593
You're brothers
197
00:10:15,594 --> 00:10:20,094
Brothers with a... singular hability to piss each other off
198
00:10:20,095 --> 00:10:21,795
And let each other down
199
00:10:21,796 --> 00:10:22,996
Talk to my brother someday
200
00:10:24,797 --> 00:10:27,197
I know that Eli believes that somehow you were
201
00:10:27,198 --> 00:10:27,598
I did
202
00:10:29,699 --> 00:10:32,399
I'm responsible for your father's death Nate
203
00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:36,200
Look, I don't know about this dark truth stuff
204
00:10:36,201 --> 00:10:38,001
But the medical truth
205
00:10:38,002 --> 00:10:42,102
Is that my fathers' heart disease was a direct result of his drinking
206
00:10:42,103 --> 00:10:44,703
Not some voodoo acupuncture
207
00:10:44,704 --> 00:10:46,104
You didn't kill him Frank
208
00:10:46,105 --> 00:10:49,305
We all have our own truths Nathan
209
00:10:49,306 --> 00:10:50,806
And we have to live by them
210
00:10:50,807 --> 00:10:54,007
Just as we have to accept the consecuences of believing in them
211
00:10:54,008 --> 00:10:57,208
What is Eli gonna do without you?
212
00:10:57,209 --> 00:10:59,809
This is for amoxicilin
213
00:10:59,810 --> 00:11:03,110
Unless you wanna stick with acupuncture and eye of newt
214
00:11:03,511 --> 00:11:05,111
You're joking right?
215
00:11:05,112 --> 00:11:06,512
Why don't you do the typing?
216
00:11:06,513 --> 00:11:08,513
Because you type faster than I do
217
00:11:08,514 --> 00:11:10,614
Magnum
218
00:11:10,615 --> 00:11:14,515
You could take some secretarial classes as
a backup in case the law thing didn't work out
219
00:11:17,016 --> 00:11:21,416
The quicker we get this over with the faster
I can go back to not working with you
220
00:11:21,417 --> 00:11:23,717
Fair enough Magna Carta
221
00:11:23,718 --> 00:11:26,418
Oh, and stop giving me the cute nicknames!
222
00:11:26,419 --> 00:11:29,419
How would you like it if I called you... Paulie?
223
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,720
My grandfather still calls me Paulie
224
00:11:33,721 --> 00:11:38,021
Phones me every Wednesday, hey Paulie
how are things going at the office?
225
00:11:38,022 --> 00:11:41,722
That's when he's on and off with his diabetes then he
226
00:11:44,623 --> 00:11:46,223
Then he calls me Paul
227
00:11:47,924 --> 00:11:49,124
Dekker
228
00:11:49,125 --> 00:11:52,325
Dowd, don't you have a sinking ship to jump on?
229
00:11:52,326 --> 00:11:56,326
You know Paul? I am really gonna miss
bumping into youin the men's bathroom
230
00:11:56,327 --> 00:11:59,127
I have never felt so superior to another lawyer
231
00:12:00,128 --> 00:12:03,328
Hey, how could you not tell me you were leaving?
232
00:12:03,329 --> 00:12:07,829
I thought you and I were, you know, co-strangers in a strange land?
233
00:12:07,830 --> 00:12:11,130
Who am I supposed to vent to when this place drives me crazy?
234
00:12:11,131 --> 00:12:15,131
You can always call or be somewhere that won't drive you crazy
235
00:12:17,132 --> 00:12:18,932
I can't go back Matt
236
00:12:18,933 --> 00:12:21,933
Because there I'll always just be Maggie
237
00:12:21,934 --> 00:12:24,634
Here I'm a respected attorney
238
00:12:24,635 --> 00:12:27,835
Yo! Automag
239
00:12:27,836 --> 00:12:30,336
For the most part
240
00:12:32,837 --> 00:12:33,937
Jerk
241
00:12:33,938 --> 00:12:37,838
I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the copy of dad's journal
242
00:12:37,839 --> 00:12:41,339
I ment you're a jerk for being the first one
to apologize for being the bigger man
243
00:12:41,340 --> 00:12:44,040
I'm the taller better-looking one for sure
244
00:12:45,241 --> 00:12:48,241
Will you skip the hug and go straight to talking about sports?
245
00:12:48,242 --> 00:12:51,442
Sure, you know who else would love to talk about sports?
246
00:12:51,443 --> 00:12:52,443
Don't
247
00:12:52,444 --> 00:12:53,344
I saw Frank today
248
00:12:53,345 --> 00:12:54,645
We just got cool
249
00:12:54,646 --> 00:12:57,946
You really think I wanna hear that you've been
chilling with the man who killed our father?
250
00:12:57,947 --> 00:12:58,947
He didn't
251
00:12:58,948 --> 00:13:04,648
Besides I know how it feels to have convinced yourself over the last
ten years that you were responsible for the death of Jeremy Stone
252
00:13:04,649 --> 00:13:06,449
You were not responsible for his heart giving out
253
00:13:06,450 --> 00:13:10,150
Maybe not, but I'm not convinced that whatever
joojoo Frank did is what killed him either
254
00:13:10,151 --> 00:13:12,551
I am convinced that he's your friend
255
00:13:13,552 --> 00:13:15,252
And you need him Eli
256
00:13:15,253 --> 00:13:17,753
What happens the next time you have a vision?
257
00:13:17,754 --> 00:13:19,754
Who you're gonna call?
258
00:13:20,755 --> 00:13:21,955
I had a vision
259
00:13:22,356 --> 00:13:24,456
I was on a plane leaving town
260
00:13:24,457 --> 00:13:28,357
Guess we shouldn't have bothered to print up
all that Wethersby Stone stationary huh?
261
00:13:28,358 --> 00:13:31,758
Well I didn't realize how bad your firm was hurting
262
00:13:33,759 --> 00:13:35,859
But Frank's hurting too Eli
263
00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:39,060
What else do you need?
264
00:13:39,061 --> 00:13:40,361
I want dad to be alive
265
00:13:40,362 --> 00:13:42,062
And he took that from me
266
00:13:42,063 --> 00:13:43,563
From you too
267
00:13:43,564 --> 00:13:48,264
And if the statute of limitations hadn't passed
years ago I would sue him for guru malpractice
268
00:13:48,265 --> 00:13:51,465
I'm fairly sure there's no such thing as guru malpractice
269
00:13:53,066 --> 00:13:55,566
Executive malpractice?
270
00:13:55,567 --> 00:14:00,267
Yeah, people sue their doctors when they bodge a procedure,
they sue their lawyers when they bodge a case
271
00:14:00,268 --> 00:14:03,668
I assume they'll also be able to sue their bosses when they screw up
272
00:14:03,669 --> 00:14:05,369
So, what are you suggesting?
273
00:14:05,370 --> 00:14:08,770
We sue Clayton Wells the ex-CEO for screwing up the company
274
00:14:10,171 --> 00:14:14,071
Lately I've been thinking about how I'm perceived in the eyes of my piers
275
00:14:14,072 --> 00:14:18,972
Their estimation of me has been lowered in part
because of my association with you
276
00:14:18,973 --> 00:14:24,173
But it's moments like this which affirm that partnership
277
00:14:24,174 --> 00:14:25,474
So you're gonna call our client?
278
00:14:25,475 --> 00:14:28,075
No, I'm gonna call our clients
279
00:14:28,076 --> 00:14:35,176
I see no reason why every employee who lost their job
at Everton shouldn't avail themselves of your brilliant theory
280
00:14:35,177 --> 00:14:36,977
All three hunded of them
281
00:14:42,778 --> 00:14:44,978
First Mr. Stemple sued Everton
282
00:14:44,979 --> 00:14:47,979
Now he's here suing Everton's former CEO
283
00:14:47,980 --> 00:14:51,080
I have a few Everton shares in my 401K
284
00:14:51,081 --> 00:14:52,381
Should I expect a subpoena too?
285
00:14:52,382 --> 00:14:54,382
You didn't put three hundred people out of work
286
00:14:54,383 --> 00:15:00,183
There's absolutely zero precedent for ex-employees
of a company suing its ex-CEO for negligence
287
00:15:00,184 --> 00:15:01,784
It's innovative, I admit
288
00:15:01,785 --> 00:15:03,885
Maybe if Clayton Wells had been more creative himself
289
00:15:03,886 --> 00:15:06,586
He and my clients would still have jobs
290
00:15:06,587 --> 00:15:10,487
This is nothing more than a clever crowd pleaser Judge
291
00:15:10,488 --> 00:15:15,488
CEOs owe a fiduciary duty to their stockholders why
shouldn't they owe the same to their employees?
292
00:15:15,489 --> 00:15:19,789
In case you haven't noticed, Clayton Wells
was just as fired as your clients
293
00:15:19,790 --> 00:15:25,390
With one slight difference, Mr. Wells left Everton
with a 43 million dollar consolation prize
294
00:15:25,391 --> 00:15:32,691
Though I am loath to accept it, the plaintiffs have
stated a valid if novel legal claim
295
00:15:32,692 --> 00:15:33,392
Your Honor
296
00:15:33,393 --> 00:15:38,593
I'm sorry counsel. I am certifying the class
action lawsuit against Clayton Wells
297
00:15:38,594 --> 00:15:40,994
For executive malpractice
298
00:15:44,595 --> 00:15:45,695
It isn't fair!
299
00:15:45,696 --> 00:15:46,996
What isn't fair?
300
00:15:46,997 --> 00:15:48,497
The view from my office?
301
00:15:48,498 --> 00:15:50,798
Yes, pretty spectacular
302
00:15:50,799 --> 00:15:52,699
You can see exactly what from your cubicle?
303
00:15:52,700 --> 00:15:55,600
I don't have a cubicle. I'm talking about Posner's speech
304
00:15:55,601 --> 00:15:57,501
What's wrong? I think we knocked it out of the park
305
00:15:57,502 --> 00:15:59,302
There's not a word of mine in this
306
00:15:59,303 --> 00:16:00,903
What do you care? You didn't even want to write the thing anyway
307
00:16:00,904 --> 00:16:04,204
Every assignment I'm given gets to my
best whether I think it deserves it or not
308
00:16:04,205 --> 00:16:06,805
Which is why you wrote your own draft, huh?
309
00:16:06,806 --> 00:16:11,106
I did. But unlike you I actually included some of your material
310
00:16:11,107 --> 00:16:12,307
Priest-rabbi lawyer joke?
311
00:16:12,308 --> 00:16:13,608
Couldn't have to lead it that faster
312
00:16:14,909 --> 00:16:20,309
While I greatly respect your previously hidden capacity for one ups manship
313
00:16:20,310 --> 00:16:23,310
This is not a creative writing seminar Maggie Muffin
314
00:16:23,311 --> 00:16:25,611
This is a lawfirm and I am a partner
315
00:16:25,612 --> 00:16:28,212
With a very funny priest-rabbi lawyer joke
316
00:16:28,213 --> 00:16:30,013
And vito power
317
00:16:30,014 --> 00:16:32,614
You know what? Posner should use your speech
318
00:16:32,615 --> 00:16:36,815
I'm sure he'd rather be reading a speech
written by his very own mini-me
319
00:16:36,816 --> 00:16:41,516
Are you sure what's going on here isn't that you'd rather
be writing the speech for Jordan Wethersby?
320
00:16:41,517 --> 00:16:44,817
What I'd rather be doing Paul, is practicing law
321
00:16:44,818 --> 00:16:47,918
A job I was actually hired for at this firm
322
00:16:47,919 --> 00:16:50,219
Not the job you mistakenly think I have
323
00:16:50,220 --> 00:16:55,120
Being a subordinate for you to kick around just so
you can feel better about your own empty life
324
00:17:00,821 --> 00:17:02,021
What went wrong?
325
00:17:02,022 --> 00:17:03,422
We made some bad bets
326
00:17:03,423 --> 00:17:06,323
Expanded in the markets maybe we should have stayed out of
327
00:17:06,324 --> 00:17:09,624
I made investments in R and D that didn't pay off
328
00:17:09,625 --> 00:17:13,325
The plaintiffs say you're guilty of executive malpractice
329
00:17:13,326 --> 00:17:17,226
That you should be held to the
same standard of care as doctors
330
00:17:17,227 --> 00:17:18,027
Do you agree?
331
00:17:18,028 --> 00:17:21,428
No, doctors operate in sterile predictible environments
332
00:17:21,429 --> 00:17:27,329
Running a diversified multinational conglomerate is like
waking up every morning and try to drink from a firehose
333
00:17:27,330 --> 00:17:28,730
What about lawyers?
334
00:17:28,731 --> 00:17:34,431
Should you be held to the same standard
of legal liability as say me
335
00:17:34,432 --> 00:17:38,632
Well no because when those good people in the
jury box come back with a verdict this trial's over
336
00:17:38,633 --> 00:17:42,633
As far as my stewart ship at Everton goes well, jury's still out
337
00:17:42,634 --> 00:17:44,034
Could you elaborate?
338
00:17:44,035 --> 00:17:47,635
Well I'm still damn bullish that my decisions are gonna pay off
339
00:17:47,636 --> 00:17:51,636
I'd give anything to still be CEO of Everton
and to steer than company into port
340
00:17:51,637 --> 00:17:52,737
Thank you
341
00:17:56,738 --> 00:17:58,438
So basically
342
00:17:59,339 --> 00:18:01,439
You didn't get fired because you made bad decisions
343
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,940
Everton's Board made a bad decision when they fired you
344
00:18:03,941 --> 00:18:06,341
The Board wanted to mollify panicky stockholders
345
00:18:06,342 --> 00:18:08,442
They took the short term view
346
00:18:08,443 --> 00:18:10,343
I was focused on the big picture
347
00:18:10,344 --> 00:18:15,944
This are uh... printouts of emails sent to you by Russell Covey
348
00:18:15,945 --> 00:18:19,145
Everton's Chief Financial Officer when you were CEO
349
00:18:19,146 --> 00:18:21,746
Could you please describe the contents of those emails to the Jury?
350
00:18:21,747 --> 00:18:23,447
I'd have to re-read them first
351
00:18:23,448 --> 00:18:29,848
Or read them at all. According to Everton's IT department
you deleted these emails and many others
352
00:18:29,849 --> 00:18:31,549
Without reading them
353
00:18:33,050 --> 00:18:36,450
Financial shortfall expected. Your attention required
354
00:18:36,451 --> 00:18:38,351
Followed days later by
355
00:18:38,352 --> 00:18:42,452
Please call ASAP read financial shortfall
356
00:18:42,453 --> 00:18:47,553
Followed just a week later by Urgent,
do not delete, that's in all-caps by the way
357
00:18:47,554 --> 00:18:51,054
Your immediate action necessary. Re-merger integration problems
358
00:18:51,055 --> 00:18:52,655
I'm sensing a pattern here
359
00:18:52,656 --> 00:18:54,756
Well I was too busy doing my job to be reading emails
360
00:18:56,357 --> 00:18:59,457
You recognize this document?
361
00:19:03,458 --> 00:19:06,358
It's a snapshot of my virtual Duffer.com homepage
362
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,959
It's a website that golfers use to track their handicap, you
enter your score after each round you play and
363
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:15,560
Would you care to tell the jury how many rounds
of golf you played while you were CEO?
364
00:19:15,561 --> 00:19:18,261
Uh, I closed a lot of key deals on that golf course
365
00:19:18,262 --> 00:19:19,362
Really, uh... name one
366
00:19:21,063 --> 00:19:25,763
I forgot, you don't deal in specifics you're a big picture guy
367
00:19:31,864 --> 00:19:33,164
Give me your wallet
368
00:19:33,165 --> 00:19:35,565
If you're gonna hold up people you work with you
should probably go with a ski mask
369
00:19:35,566 --> 00:19:36,666
And a gun!
370
00:19:36,667 --> 00:19:38,667
You told me to take care of Jim Norris
371
00:19:38,668 --> 00:19:41,068
He doesn't like the soap in the men's room
372
00:19:41,069 --> 00:19:43,369
He wants hypoallergenic soap
373
00:19:43,370 --> 00:19:46,770
Also known as white-people-can't-do-anything-the-easy-way soap
374
00:19:46,771 --> 00:19:51,171
And since our firm cannot afford a petty cash draw anymore
375
00:19:51,172 --> 00:19:53,672
OK, but after you've done this do me a favor
376
00:19:53,673 --> 00:19:56,673
Find out how much the flights are
from San Francisco to Kenya
377
00:19:56,674 --> 00:19:57,874
Planning a trip?
378
00:19:57,875 --> 00:19:58,875
No
379
00:19:58,876 --> 00:20:01,876
Well, I don't know, I just need to know how much it would cost
380
00:20:01,877 --> 00:20:03,577
It'll cost you your assistant
381
00:20:03,578 --> 00:20:04,278
What?
382
00:20:04,279 --> 00:20:09,879
This place is hanging on by thread Eli, now is not
the time to go gazelle hurting with Grace
383
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,980
Well the vision I got sent by the notorious GOD says otherwise
384
00:20:12,981 --> 00:20:14,381
What did you see this time?
385
00:20:14,382 --> 00:20:16,682
That we're all about to get a never ending supplied vacation days
386
00:20:16,683 --> 00:20:18,383
Maybe you made the wrong interpretation
387
00:20:18,384 --> 00:20:20,684
Why don't you let me make an appointment with Dr. Chen?
388
00:20:20,685 --> 00:20:23,885
I don't need Chen! I just... I need to know about the ticket
389
00:20:25,186 --> 00:20:26,686
I thought things were going well
390
00:20:26,687 --> 00:20:28,487
Eli said he scored some points today
391
00:20:28,488 --> 00:20:29,388
So he did
392
00:20:29,389 --> 00:20:31,489
Then why do you look like you've already lost?
393
00:20:31,490 --> 00:20:36,290
I'm stressful enough to represent a man I consider my path not taken
394
00:20:36,291 --> 00:20:41,391
And now having the responsibility of representing three hundred of them?
395
00:20:41,392 --> 00:20:42,992
You should be three hundred times more proud of yourself
396
00:20:42,993 --> 00:20:44,893
I know I am
397
00:20:44,894 --> 00:20:48,694
It wasn't so long ago that I would've been defending the ruthless CEO
398
00:20:48,695 --> 00:20:51,795
Ironically back then I slept soundly
399
00:20:51,796 --> 00:20:56,396
At least there we know such anxiety
associated with tonight's award's dinner
400
00:20:56,397 --> 00:20:58,097
You don't know you won't win the Belmont
401
00:20:58,098 --> 00:21:03,198
In fact I do. My opposing counsel in the Wells case
is also in the nominating committee
402
00:21:03,199 --> 00:21:05,999
Doug, do we have an appointment scheduled?
403
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,300
You don't know?
404
00:21:07,301 --> 00:21:08,001
Know what?
405
00:21:09,102 --> 00:21:11,802
Hello! Have you heard the latest about Everton, folks?
406
00:21:11,803 --> 00:21:16,603
Lovely Everton, our sources in the boardroom tell us that Everton Financial
407
00:21:16,604 --> 00:21:23,204
Is in final stage talks to rehire Clayton Wells as its CEO
408
00:21:23,205 --> 00:21:25,405
Boo, boo, boo, boom... what?
409
00:21:25,406 --> 00:21:27,606
Can't believe it? Believe it!
410
00:21:27,607 --> 00:21:30,207
Take it to the bank and... smoke it!
411
00:21:30,208 --> 00:21:32,508
They are going to give the...
412
00:21:32,509 --> 00:21:33,309
Can they do that?
413
00:21:33,310 --> 00:21:34,610
Just hire him back?
414
00:21:34,611 --> 00:21:35,511
Yes
415
00:21:35,512 --> 00:21:38,112
But why in the world would they want to?
416
00:21:38,113 --> 00:21:40,013
That's why, ENF
417
00:21:40,014 --> 00:21:44,914
The continued media coverage of the trial has cost
Everton's stockprice to further reroad
418
00:21:44,915 --> 00:21:47,615
So they think that if they rehire Wells their stock will go back up?
419
00:21:47,616 --> 00:21:51,016
Obviously but that's not our problem
420
00:21:51,017 --> 00:21:55,917
If Everton is willing to rehire Wells then how
negligent could he have been in the first place?
421
00:21:59,418 --> 00:22:03,118
I want you to try and get as much of your
homework done as you can on the plane
422
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,019
What?
423
00:22:05,020 --> 00:22:07,420
You don't wanna take my name?
424
00:22:07,421 --> 00:22:10,121
People know me professionally by my maiden name
425
00:22:10,122 --> 00:22:11,922
And I like it
426
00:22:11,923 --> 00:22:15,623
It would've been nice if you would've told me that before the wedding
427
00:22:15,624 --> 00:22:18,224
What the hell were the republicans thinking?
428
00:22:18,225 --> 00:22:22,725
Did anyone honestly think that Crotch the old
Vetrin could be Mr. Young Hip and Cool?
429
00:22:22,726 --> 00:22:25,426
I guess experience doesn't count for much these days
430
00:22:25,427 --> 00:22:27,127
Not against their rockstar
431
00:22:31,128 --> 00:22:33,528
This isn't my future it's the past
432
00:22:33,529 --> 00:22:35,729
Sir, can I help you find your seat?
433
00:22:35,730 --> 00:22:38,230
What? No, no I'm OK
434
00:22:40,431 --> 00:22:41,831
Dad
435
00:22:42,732 --> 00:22:44,332
It's kind of ironic
436
00:22:44,333 --> 00:22:49,933
We never get dad to show up for ball games or
school play, parents-teacher conferences
437
00:22:49,934 --> 00:22:51,834
Now he's a serious regular in my visions
438
00:22:51,835 --> 00:22:54,035
This one was from about a decade ago
439
00:22:54,036 --> 00:22:56,536
Do you remember him taking a trip abut that time?
440
00:22:56,537 --> 00:22:59,137
No. But even if I did he wouldn't have flown
441
00:22:59,938 --> 00:23:03,738
Dad hated flying! Why do you think we roadtripped for all our family vacations
442
00:23:03,739 --> 00:23:05,439
I still don't know what he was doing in that plane
443
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,940
Well, there is one way to find out
444
00:23:11,441 --> 00:23:16,541
Come on Eli, don't you think now might be a
good time to bury the acupuncture needle?
445
00:23:16,542 --> 00:23:18,142
We don't need Frank, we need google
446
00:23:20,243 --> 00:23:23,643
I saw the carrier name and the flight number
447
00:23:23,644 --> 00:23:26,944
Keystar Airlines, flight 212
448
00:23:26,945 --> 00:23:29,445
See if there's anything weird-ish
449
00:23:29,446 --> 00:23:31,446
Or daddy-ish
450
00:23:33,047 --> 00:23:37,747
Woah, that plane uh... Yeah but dad...
451
00:23:37,748 --> 00:23:38,948
He couldn't have been on it!
452
00:23:38,949 --> 00:23:39,849
What do you think it means?
453
00:23:40,850 --> 00:23:42,950
Motion for summary judgement
454
00:23:42,951 --> 00:23:45,751
Now that my client has his job back this case is over
455
00:23:45,752 --> 00:23:47,752
The Jury reached a verdict? Did we win?
456
00:23:47,753 --> 00:23:49,153
No, you lost
457
00:23:49,154 --> 00:23:52,354
Hope you guys have a plan B
458
00:23:52,355 --> 00:23:54,155
I'm thinking of killing the judge
459
00:23:54,156 --> 00:23:58,156
Let's leave that for a plan further down the alphabet.
Judge Bortz's wife would miss him terribly
460
00:23:58,157 --> 00:24:01,757
Lucky girl getting to trade in the maiden name and become Mrs. Bortz
461
00:24:01,758 --> 00:24:03,158
All rise!
462
00:24:05,459 --> 00:24:08,359
It would've been nice if you'd told me this before the wedding
463
00:24:08,360 --> 00:24:09,060
What are you talking about?
464
00:24:09,061 --> 00:24:11,761
Sir can I see the list of Everton shareholders?
465
00:24:13,962 --> 00:24:15,962
Counsel, I haven't got all day
466
00:24:20,163 --> 00:24:23,363
Alright, the defense has apparently made a motion for summary judgement
467
00:24:23,364 --> 00:24:24,964
Based on irrelevant development Your Honor
468
00:24:24,965 --> 00:24:29,065
To use your dying patient analogy, the patient has hired back his doctor
469
00:24:29,066 --> 00:24:35,566
This entire case is premised on Clayton Wells's termination, that
termination has been rescinded therefore the case must be dismissed
470
00:24:36,867 --> 00:24:38,267
You can't do that
471
00:24:38,268 --> 00:24:39,668
Actually I can
472
00:24:39,669 --> 00:24:46,869
Watch as I slowly raise the gavel and say motion granted, case dismissed
473
00:24:47,870 --> 00:24:49,670
Are you entirely out of your mind?
474
00:24:52,171 --> 00:24:56,571
The fact that Everton's Board wants to rehire Clayton Wells is irrelevant
475
00:24:56,572 --> 00:24:59,972
This case is not about Everton's Board, it's about its employees
476
00:24:59,973 --> 00:25:01,173
It's shareholders
477
00:25:01,174 --> 00:25:01,674
Enough Mr. Stone
478
00:25:01,675 --> 00:25:03,175
Even their spouses
479
00:25:03,176 --> 00:25:09,176
I think that you are just a Judge to take
us on our maiden name... I mean, voyage
480
00:25:09,177 --> 00:25:14,477
You uh, raise an excellent point
481
00:25:14,478 --> 00:25:15,878
Mr. Stone
482
00:25:17,079 --> 00:25:19,179
On further reflexion
483
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:28,580
Everton's decision to rehire Clayton Wells should not preclude
the Jury from rendering judgement on its previous teniored ex-CEO
484
00:25:28,581 --> 00:25:31,181
Motion for summary judgement denied
485
00:25:35,182 --> 00:25:38,782
Did you just blackmailed the Judge? Not that I'm complaining
486
00:25:38,783 --> 00:25:45,083
Something you said reminded me that Brenda Hudson owns
75 hundred shares of Everton's stock in her retirement folder
487
00:25:45,084 --> 00:25:46,084
Who's Brenda Hudson?
488
00:25:46,085 --> 00:25:48,185
Brenda Bortz, actually
489
00:25:48,186 --> 00:25:49,986
Hudson was her maiden name
490
00:25:49,987 --> 00:25:52,587
Judge Bortz has his retirement to worry about
491
00:25:57,288 --> 00:25:59,988
And now for the moment you've all been waiting for
492
00:25:59,989 --> 00:26:09,589
The Joel T. Belmont Award for Excellence in Jurisprudence is the highest
honor the California Bar Association can bestow on one of its colleagues
493
00:26:09,590 --> 00:26:17,590
It is my distinguished pleasure to present the
2009 Joel T. Belmont Award to Martin Posner
494
00:26:28,291 --> 00:26:31,191
Thank you New York, thank you very, very much
495
00:26:31,192 --> 00:26:34,892
Thank you all ladies and gentlemen of the jury
496
00:26:34,893 --> 00:26:41,293
An obscure 19th century american lawyer you may or may not have heard of
497
00:26:41,294 --> 00:26:43,894
Abraham Lincoln said I quote:
498
00:26:43,895 --> 00:26:50,495
The leading rule for the lawyer is to leave nothing
for tomorrow which can be done today
499
00:26:50,496 --> 00:26:56,296
Lincoln's challenge to his fellow attorneys hopes its
true now as it did a century and a half ago
500
00:26:57,597 --> 00:26:58,697
Wine please
501
00:27:03,698 --> 00:27:05,398
Nice job with the speech
502
00:27:05,399 --> 00:27:07,699
How did you know it wasn't Posner's terms?
503
00:27:07,700 --> 00:27:10,400
Nothing says Maggie Dekker more than an obscure historical quote
504
00:27:10,401 --> 00:27:12,301
You'll be interested to know I only co-wrote it
505
00:27:12,302 --> 00:27:14,002
Paul Rollins?
506
00:27:14,003 --> 00:27:16,103
How did you know?
507
00:27:16,104 --> 00:27:17,004
Just a lucky guess
508
00:27:17,005 --> 00:27:19,505
I know you two are spending some time together
509
00:27:19,506 --> 00:27:21,706
Did you have a vision about me?
510
00:27:21,707 --> 00:27:22,807
About me and Paul?
511
00:27:22,808 --> 00:27:26,608
Let's just say I... I saw you together
512
00:27:26,609 --> 00:27:28,209
I know it's none of my business
513
00:27:28,210 --> 00:27:29,610
No kidding
514
00:27:29,611 --> 00:27:30,911
So there is something going on with you two?
515
00:27:30,912 --> 00:27:32,912
You know when I said last week that we were friends?
516
00:27:32,913 --> 00:27:36,713
I didn't mean the kind of friends who
could have this kind of conversation
517
00:27:44,814 --> 00:27:48,414
Martin. Congratulations. It's a well-deserved honor
518
00:27:48,415 --> 00:27:53,615
Well I have to confess it's a bit a surprise. I wouldn't
have expected you to be the better man
519
00:27:53,616 --> 00:27:56,416
Well that would explain our parting of professional ways
520
00:27:56,417 --> 00:28:02,417
Excuse me, before we wind things up tonight we
have one more colleague to hear from
521
00:28:02,418 --> 00:28:04,018
Taylor Wethersby
522
00:28:12,819 --> 00:28:14,519
Good evening
523
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:22,320
This year the California Bar Association is introducing a
new accolade to recognize commitment to the legal system
524
00:28:22,321 --> 00:28:26,421
Beyond the collection of courtroom and boardroom victories
525
00:28:26,422 --> 00:28:29,722
And while most of us are just trying to find our
way in this world as lawyers
526
00:28:29,723 --> 00:28:32,923
There are very few of us who use the law
527
00:28:32,924 --> 00:28:34,524
To make the world better
528
00:28:34,525 --> 00:28:41,025
And so it is with great pride that I've been asked to
present the first annual Ackerman Humanitarian Award
529
00:28:41,026 --> 00:28:43,126
To Jordan Wethersby
530
00:29:11,627 --> 00:29:14,727
Wow. You really do have your own office
531
00:29:14,728 --> 00:29:17,228
And I have an actual law degree to go with it
532
00:29:20,129 --> 00:29:22,329
Thought Posner gave a pretty good speech here tonight
533
00:29:22,330 --> 00:29:24,630
I thought so too, since I wrote it
534
00:29:24,631 --> 00:29:26,631
Yeah, no need to thank me for what I did by the way
535
00:29:26,632 --> 00:29:28,432
What do you need Paul?
536
00:29:28,433 --> 00:29:32,833
I... I minored in theater in undergrad
537
00:29:32,834 --> 00:29:35,034
So you would've done a better job delivering the speech?
538
00:29:36,935 --> 00:29:40,235
The Paul Rollins you work for is a part I play
539
00:29:40,236 --> 00:29:42,036
It's a... it's a character
540
00:29:42,037 --> 00:29:45,137
And truth be told the other lawyers in this firm are the same way
541
00:29:45,138 --> 00:29:46,238
They're playing roles
542
00:29:46,239 --> 00:29:51,739
So that when their... their alteregos
cut corners or reach ethical boundaries
543
00:29:51,740 --> 00:29:54,740
Or speak inapropriately to highly talented subordinates
544
00:29:56,141 --> 00:29:57,941
It doesn't feel like bad behavior
545
00:29:57,942 --> 00:30:00,042
Because they're not really doing it
546
00:30:01,843 --> 00:30:05,643
This is the weirdest apology ever
547
00:30:05,644 --> 00:30:11,844
OK my point is... in spite of my considerable
intelligence it's taken me a while to see that
548
00:30:12,545 --> 00:30:15,245
In the production known as Posner Klein
549
00:30:16,446 --> 00:30:18,946
The part of Maggie Dekker is being played by herself
550
00:30:20,447 --> 00:30:22,947
Why are you telling me this Paul?
551
00:30:23,948 --> 00:30:29,048
Because I suspect that you're a pretty good judge of character
552
00:30:31,249 --> 00:30:39,849
This week, I suddenly found myself wanting you not to judge me
553
00:30:39,850 --> 00:30:42,150
Without all the facts
554
00:30:48,551 --> 00:30:49,751
I'll see you
555
00:30:49,752 --> 00:30:52,152
Maggie
556
00:31:00,953 --> 00:31:02,553
Eli Stone is a clever lawyer
557
00:31:04,354 --> 00:31:06,954
Mainstreet is furious
558
00:31:06,955 --> 00:31:09,955
With lawstreet lately and for a very good reason
559
00:31:09,956 --> 00:31:12,856
People are loosing their jobs
560
00:31:12,857 --> 00:31:21,157
While the heads of these corporations continue to
collect 7 and 8 figure bonuses and golden parachutes
561
00:31:21,158 --> 00:31:26,358
It's a patent unfairness that the plaintiffs are hoping
they can convert into a financial windfall
562
00:31:26,359 --> 00:31:29,959
And it all seems so perfectly reasonable doesn't it?
563
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,260
Then why shouldn't CEOs be held to the same standard as doctors?
564
00:31:35,361 --> 00:31:38,161
Well, have you been to a doctor lately?
565
00:31:38,162 --> 00:31:41,862
The high prices, the needless tests
566
00:31:41,863 --> 00:31:43,363
The bureaucracy
567
00:31:43,364 --> 00:31:47,064
That's all to shield them from lawsuits
568
00:31:47,065 --> 00:31:52,565
And now they want corporate executives to
be subject to the same second guessing
569
00:31:52,566 --> 00:31:58,066
Do you know what that will do to America's
ability to compete in the global market place?
570
00:31:58,067 --> 00:32:00,867
If you take away the golden parachute
571
00:32:00,868 --> 00:32:10,168
How will we attract qualified men and women to
run these corporations that give us our jobs
572
00:32:11,169 --> 00:32:18,069
Mr. Stemple and his co-workers they lost their jobs and that is
a tragedy, one that happens far to often these days
573
00:32:20,270 --> 00:32:22,070
But to give them what they're asking for
574
00:32:22,071 --> 00:32:24,571
Could cost you your job
575
00:32:30,572 --> 00:32:33,672
Ms. Miller's argument has a familiar ring to it
576
00:32:34,873 --> 00:32:39,673
CEOs have to make billings because without
them there are no jobs for the rest of us
577
00:32:39,674 --> 00:32:41,274
Greed is good
578
00:32:41,275 --> 00:32:45,775
Rising tide lifts all boats, prosperity trickles down
579
00:32:45,776 --> 00:32:49,076
Don't tie our hands with regulation
580
00:32:50,277 --> 00:32:52,377
Well, you've seen how that worked out
581
00:32:52,378 --> 00:32:56,978
Doug Stemple and his co-workers didn't loose their jobs
582
00:32:56,979 --> 00:33:00,179
Clayton Wells lost their jobs for them
583
00:33:00,180 --> 00:33:03,680
And not because anyone second guessed him or tied his hands
584
00:33:03,681 --> 00:33:08,081
He ran Everton into the ground then ran away with a golden parachute
585
00:33:09,682 --> 00:33:13,082
But Ms. Miller is right about one thing
586
00:33:13,083 --> 00:33:18,383
The vast majority of us depend on CEOs like Clayon Wells for our livelihoods
587
00:33:18,384 --> 00:33:25,984
So why shouldn't the law hold them to the same standard of care as doctors
588
00:33:25,985 --> 00:33:29,985
And stock brokers as accountants and attorneys
589
00:33:29,986 --> 00:33:35,586
Why shouldn't they be held to the same standard of basic competency
590
00:33:36,787 --> 00:33:38,687
That you're held to
591
00:33:38,688 --> 00:33:40,688
In your job
592
00:33:48,489 --> 00:33:51,189
Ladies and gentleman this is your captain speaking
593
00:33:51,190 --> 00:33:55,290
We're on a bit of a delay here but we should be
cleared to push back in just a few minutes
594
00:33:55,390 --> 00:33:55,790
So please
595
00:33:55,791 --> 00:33:56,491
Champagne sir?
596
00:33:56,492 --> 00:33:57,492
Sit back and relax
597
00:33:59,293 --> 00:34:00,893
No
598
00:34:03,094 --> 00:34:04,194
Champagne mam?
599
00:34:11,995 --> 00:34:14,895
Excuse me, everbody just stop what they're doing for a minute
600
00:34:16,196 --> 00:34:19,296
Please could everyone just listen for a minute
601
00:34:26,197 --> 00:34:27,897
This plane is going to crash
602
00:34:34,598 --> 00:34:37,098
I'm trying to imagine what you must be thinking
603
00:34:37,099 --> 00:34:42,399
Looking at me the wacked-out guy dirty wear jacket
telling you that this plane... the plane that you're on is...
604
00:34:43,900 --> 00:34:45,200
Gonna crash
605
00:34:45,201 --> 00:34:47,301
And that your lives will end today
606
00:34:47,302 --> 00:34:48,502
But I saw it
607
00:34:51,403 --> 00:34:56,703
I saw you and you and you and you and you all
608
00:35:02,204 --> 00:35:05,404
Look, I need you to imagine something else
609
00:35:06,305 --> 00:35:10,005
Just imagine, being in your homes tonight safe
610
00:35:10,006 --> 00:35:16,406
Watching TV, watching news, watching story after story
611
00:35:16,407 --> 00:35:18,907
About this plane going down
612
00:35:18,908 --> 00:35:21,108
And then imagine your friends and your family
613
00:35:21,109 --> 00:35:23,009
Caught in a panic
614
00:35:23,010 --> 00:35:26,710
And then imagine answering because you weren't on this plane
615
00:35:26,711 --> 00:35:32,311
Listened to the nut with the dirty jacket and you got off and you lived
616
00:35:32,312 --> 00:35:33,112
You lived!
617
00:35:33,113 --> 00:35:35,013
Sir! I need you to come with us
618
00:35:35,014 --> 00:35:38,414
You don't have to... you don't have to believe
in the messenger to believe in the message
619
00:35:39,215 --> 00:35:40,915
Come on sir
620
00:35:42,916 --> 00:35:44,116
Get your stuff
621
00:35:44,117 --> 00:35:45,917
Are you serious?
622
00:35:45,918 --> 00:35:47,118
Yes, I am
623
00:35:47,119 --> 00:35:49,619
We are not flying on this plane
624
00:35:51,220 --> 00:35:52,820
Grace
625
00:35:52,821 --> 00:35:54,221
You're so weird
626
00:36:09,522 --> 00:36:11,322
Has the Jury reached a verdict?
627
00:36:11,323 --> 00:36:15,523
In the matter of Stemple at all versus Clayton Wells
628
00:36:15,524 --> 00:36:18,524
We the Jury find in favor of the plaintiffs
629
00:36:18,525 --> 00:36:22,725
And award damages in the amount of 300 dollars
630
00:36:22,726 --> 00:36:25,826
Finding gross negligence to exist
631
00:36:25,827 --> 00:36:32,327
We further award punitive damages in the amount of 220 million dollars
632
00:36:45,728 --> 00:36:47,028
Congratulations
633
00:36:49,629 --> 00:36:51,329
Surprise!
634
00:36:51,330 --> 00:36:54,530
You've only missed our birthdays by 4 months and 8 months respectively
635
00:36:54,531 --> 00:36:59,831
Welcome to WS and As first we-just-won-a-gazillion-dollars-and-safe-perform firm
636
00:36:59,832 --> 00:37:02,832
Just say this will need to become an annual event
637
00:37:02,833 --> 00:37:03,733
Who are these guys?
638
00:37:03,734 --> 00:37:06,734
Oh, these are the movers I hired to clear out Jim Norris's office
639
00:37:06,735 --> 00:37:12,435
I waited a full minute after hearing the Jury
verdict before tossing his annoying ass out the door
640
00:37:12,436 --> 00:37:16,336
Come on, taste these mushroom tarts. They're divine!
641
00:37:16,337 --> 00:37:18,637
What if the verdict hadn't gone our way?
642
00:37:18,638 --> 00:37:23,138
It'll be a wake! So long as it's not a going away party
643
00:37:23,139 --> 00:37:26,539
Don't worry, I kind of misinterpreted the vision
644
00:37:26,540 --> 00:37:28,840
Try imagine my galloping shock!
645
00:37:38,141 --> 00:37:39,941
You're not planning on jumping are you?
646
00:37:42,642 --> 00:37:47,342
It's only one story. Don't let your broken leg lift my spirits
647
00:37:47,343 --> 00:37:48,943
Long time no visit
648
00:37:48,944 --> 00:37:50,644
What brings you to Chinatown?
649
00:37:50,645 --> 00:37:53,145
There's a great dim sum place around the corner
650
00:37:55,546 --> 00:37:58,046
The first time you walked into my shop
651
00:37:58,047 --> 00:38:01,547
I knew one day the truth would come out about how your dad died
652
00:38:01,548 --> 00:38:06,548
I practiced my grand speech about how your dad
begged me to do it and how I
653
00:38:06,549 --> 00:38:08,949
How was I gonna beg at you for forgiveness
654
00:38:08,950 --> 00:38:09,750
Frank
655
00:38:09,751 --> 00:38:14,751
Did you know your dad's name Jeremy was a derivation of Jeremiah?
656
00:38:16,052 --> 00:38:19,152
God told Jeremiah
657
00:38:19,153 --> 00:38:21,653
"You would go to them but they'll not listen to you"
658
00:38:23,154 --> 00:38:25,254
How's that for mind screw?
659
00:38:25,255 --> 00:38:26,855
They did listen Frank
660
00:38:26,856 --> 00:38:28,856
The vision that he had
661
00:38:28,857 --> 00:38:31,557
Why he desperately needed the dark truth
662
00:38:32,858 --> 00:38:34,658
He saw a plane crash
663
00:38:34,659 --> 00:38:37,059
People dying and...
664
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,760
He saved them
665
00:38:39,761 --> 00:38:42,661
Some of them at least, uh...
666
00:38:42,662 --> 00:38:44,362
He convinced them to get off the plane
667
00:38:44,363 --> 00:38:46,963
One of those people was Grace
668
00:38:48,764 --> 00:38:50,464
She was on that plane
669
00:38:51,065 --> 00:38:53,465
He saved her too
670
00:38:56,066 --> 00:38:57,466
You helped save her
671
00:39:00,567 --> 00:39:04,967
I'm so... I'm so sorry I took your father from you Eli
672
00:39:04,968 --> 00:39:06,068
You didn't
673
00:39:06,069 --> 00:39:08,469
And it was wrong of me
674
00:39:08,470 --> 00:39:10,270
To accuse you like that
675
00:39:10,271 --> 00:39:11,771
You had every right to be angry
676
00:39:11,772 --> 00:39:13,772
You're his son
677
00:39:13,773 --> 00:39:17,073
Yeah... well that's the thing
678
00:39:17,074 --> 00:39:21,474
I um... finally realized that
679
00:39:21,475 --> 00:39:23,675
So were you
680
00:39:25,476 --> 00:39:27,376
You were son in the ways that mattered
681
00:39:28,777 --> 00:39:32,977
When me and Nate couldn't get far
enough away from him you were there
682
00:39:32,978 --> 00:39:35,578
Being what I never was
683
00:39:36,379 --> 00:39:37,879
He loved you Eli
684
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,680
I know
685
00:39:39,681 --> 00:39:41,481
I know that
686
00:39:41,482 --> 00:39:44,082
But I didn't know him
687
00:39:44,083 --> 00:39:49,983
You know? At least not the him not stinking of alcohol and failure
688
00:39:49,984 --> 00:39:55,384
But you, even for the briefest moment
you knew him for what he could be
689
00:39:56,585 --> 00:39:58,585
Someone who could change the world
690
00:40:02,986 --> 00:40:04,586
