It's about opposing counsel.

And now I'm gonna do

We were just talking about losers.

My case was thrown out.
Can we really call that a loss?

Oh, we can call it a big loss.

We are not going to break up

No, we're gonna break up because

Former firm. Future firm.

Yes. It's smart.

Listen, you're gonna be

Okay, so here's what we do.

Why?

There is no test for it.

it would cost to fix it.

But you need someone to testify
Lewis actually saw them

and decided not to do anything?

Yes. But Jack Lewis is a powerful guy.

People are scared of him.

He flung a piece of bacon
at his secretary.

Former secretary. I saw that
in the "Washington Post."

Top 10 worst CEOs in America.

The secretary!

Now let's get to work.

SETH: - Ms. Davis, you were Jack
Lewis' secretary for nine months?

Nine long months. I'm told it was
two weeks short of a record.

That's why you're here today,

to tell us about Mr. Lewis'
management style...

TODD: Objection, Your Honor.

The witness did clerical work.
Answered phones.

She knows nothing about

the highly specialized issues
in this case.

She saw every piece of paper
that crossed his desk

for nine months.

This trial is about whether
he's personally responsible

for his company spewing toxins.

How is it not relevant?

I'll allow it.

Take us back to the morning
of March 20, 2016,

your last day at the company.

How'd that day begin?

Mr. Lewis asked me for
a breakfast sandwich...

egg and cheese on a roll.

He specified egg and cheese on a roll...

- Your Honor...
- JUDGE BYRNE: Get to the point.

You brought him the sandwich.
Then what happened?

He flung a piece of bacon in my face.

Did he say why
he flung bacon in your face?

He didn't ask for bacon.

He said, "Do only what
I tell you. No more. No less."

He said that 50 times a day to everyone.

That was his management style?

Not a lot of style, but yes.

He was a micromanager. About everything.

I want to direct your attention
to these four memos,

which have been marked as Exhibit J,

written to Mr. Lewis
over a three-year period.

They estimate the cost of
complying with EPA regulations

at Kappler-Hays' Lincoln plant.

Objection. The witness
doesn't know the first thing

about EPA regulations.

If he can make bacon relevant,

he gets a crack at this, too.

Do you have an opinion, Ms. Davis,

about whether Mr. Lewis
ever saw these memos?

No.

I mean, it's not an opinion.
He definitely saw them.

No piece of paper
passed through the company

without him reading and okaying it.

And anyway, these memos
are covered with checkmarks

in Mr. Lewis' handwriting.

That's his writing.

So, if Mr. Lewis contends he never knew

his facilities were breaking
the law, poisoning children,

do you have an opinion about that?

That would be a lie.

JILL: What are you seeing?

I'm seeing high levels
of tau accumulation

in the amygdala and in all
subcortical regions.

That's where the damaged neurons are.

And what does that mean?

It means she has the brain

of a 50-year-old defensive lineman.

It means you were right, Ms. Carlan.

The pattern in which her brain lit up

indicates an extremely high
likely that Ms. Daniels suffers

from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy.

I'm sorry.

I need you to testify in a hearing

so we can use this scan as evidence.

This isn't FDA approved.

It hasn't been tested widely enough.

It'll never hold up in a court hearing.

Yes, it will.

We'll make sure of it.

If you walk past the back door
of the library

at Carver Elementary School
in Lincoln, Nebraska,

you'll see a line of students.

Almost anytime,
but always in the afternoon

after lunch and recess.

If you don't know Carver, it
looks a little odd. This line.

Tucked behind a building,
pressed up against a hedge.

But if you peek around the corner,

you see it.

You understand.

A drinking fountain.

Blue. Three heads.

Always in the shade. Always cold.

Carver opened in 1961,

and nobody remembers why

this drinking fountain
was put back there,

but it's been a part
of the school for over 50 years.

Future farmers, accountants,
mayor, an astronaut,

doctors, a few lawyers.

They all drank the cold water
from the library fountain.

So did Theo Mars...

every day for the last two years.

He's seven now.

Wants to be a scientist
or a racecar driver.

He's still deciding. [CHUCKLES]

Either way, it's going to be a challenge

because Theo has Leukemia.

Because of the library fountain.

Because Jack Lewis built a plant
next to the school

and allowed toxins
to seep into the cold water

that Theo and his classmates at Carver

lined up to drink every day.

Jack Lewis knew this water
was contaminated.

He knew this contaminated water
was making kids sick.

And he knew how to stop it.

And Jack Lewis said no.

What will you say now?

Because there are only two sides here...

Kappler-Hays or Carver Elementary.

Jack Lewis or Theo Mars.

The choice is yours.

Carver Elementary is...
unremarkable in a lot of ways.

But... it has real spirit.

Heart. Character.

♪

There's a saying at the school...

"Never count a Carver kid out."

So... don't.

Your Honor, the government
strongly objects

to the admission
of any experimental tests...

They weren't done by some kid
with a chemistry set.

They come from one of the
world's leading CTE researchers.

And while we sincerely hope they
yield results in the future,

in the present,

the only reliable diagnosis
of CTE is through autopsy.

Well, my client prefers not to
wait for her autopsy results

to mount her defense.

Your Honor, if she had a diagnosis

of Alzheimer's disease,

we wouldn't be begging
for it to be admitted,

unless this was 1983.

If she were a diabetic,

I could argue low insulin as a factor,

but not 20 years ago.

Every new thing we learn
about mental illness,

we learn from a study
that started as experimental.

Chloe Daniels has a disease,
and she shouldn't be punished

for her bad timing in getting it.

Mental illness has always
been problematic for us.

At one point, schizophrenics
were burned as witches.

Depressives were lobotomized.

Women with anxiety were sterilized.

It seems like so long ago, right?

But out there, now,

lives are being wasted in institutions,

families broken up.

People are living and dying
under overpasses

because they have no idea
that a pill could fix it.

Chloe Daniels has lost a marriage, a son,

and, soon... her life.

Even if we can show that she has CTE,

a cure is a long way off.

She has a disease,

and letting us mount her best defense,

all we're really deciding
is whether she dies of it

in prison or out.

JILL: They offered a deferred
prosecution agreement.

Essentially a term of probation.

She'll be supervised by
pretrial services for two years.

That's good.

You don't look good.

She needs help,

someone to take care of her.

This disease is degenerative.
She's only gonna get worse.

What about her family?

Her son doesn't want anything
to do with her.

She's burned every bridge.

My sister was like that.

I have a sister.

Where is she?

I don't know.

I used to take the Wheel
home every weekend.

You didn't know that, did you?

I'm sure it's a federal crime.

It is.

Larry and I couldn't decide
about a lot of things.

Not big things. Little things.

Where to go to dinner.
Where to go on vacation.

So, I started bringing the Wheel home,

and we'd write all our options
on little pieces of paper

and put them in the Wheel
and the Wheel would decide.

We trusted the Wheel.

It got kind of addictive in our home.

When Jason was deciding
where to go to college,

he used the Wheel.

For real!

He went to Wesleyan because of the Wheel.

These are bigger things.

When Larry... got sick...

...two days before he died, he
wanted me to read him a story.

He couldn't decide.

So we gave it to the Wheel.

And I read him
"Hound of the Baskervilles."

He liked that.

The Wheel was fair.

It saw us through a lot of joy
and excruciating sadness.

I could... take it home, Nick...

but that's hard now.

It belongs here.
