Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:10,227 --> 00:00:11,729
So, you should ask yourself,
2
00:00:11,734 --> 00:00:13,583
with every decision you make,
3
00:00:13,588 --> 00:00:15,519
is this good for the V.A.?
4
00:00:15,524 --> 00:00:18,714
Am I helping with
the V.A.'s strategic vision?
5
00:00:18,719 --> 00:00:21,673
Now, my guess is you're
all asking the same question.
6
00:00:21,678 --> 00:00:24,471
With our new administration,
will you still have a job?
7
00:00:24,476 --> 00:00:28,562
But I want you to ask
a slightly different question.
8
00:00:28,567 --> 00:00:31,636
Will my job still have me?
9
00:00:31,641 --> 00:00:33,141
Am I the right fit
10
00:00:33,146 --> 00:00:35,043
to continue fulfilling my duties
11
00:00:35,048 --> 00:00:36,436
to the best of my ability
12
00:00:36,441 --> 00:00:39,600
for the greater good of the company?
13
00:00:39,605 --> 00:00:43,108
We just want to make sure that
we have some new staff in place
14
00:00:43,113 --> 00:00:46,938
to have things run a little bit
more smoothly around here.
15
00:00:46,943 --> 00:00:48,531
I want to be clear:
16
00:00:48,536 --> 00:00:51,577
politics will not enter
into any of my decisions.
17
00:00:51,582 --> 00:00:52,644
Bullshit.
18
00:00:52,649 --> 00:00:53,749
We've had a late start,
19
00:00:53,754 --> 00:00:55,982
mostly due to the delayed
presidential transition.
20
00:00:55,987 --> 00:00:57,461
I'm sure you've heard about that.
21
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,968
No hard feelings. Huh?
22
00:01:03,231 --> 00:01:05,011
I'll probably head back to D.C.
23
00:01:05,016 --> 00:01:07,622
Everybody says
the Trump connection hurts us.
24
00:01:07,627 --> 00:01:09,015
How about you?
25
00:01:09,020 --> 00:01:11,849
If they want me, I'll stay on here.
26
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,854
- What?
- _
27
00:01:20,205 --> 00:01:21,902
Kurt?
28
00:01:29,409 --> 00:01:30,871
Leo's Bike Shop.
29
00:01:30,876 --> 00:01:31,952
That was the name of your business?
30
00:01:31,956 --> 00:01:35,158
Yes. My grandfather came over
from Holland after World War II,
31
00:01:35,163 --> 00:01:36,390
Got a loan, opened it.
32
00:01:36,395 --> 00:01:38,099
My family's run it for 60 years.
33
00:01:38,104 --> 00:01:40,679
- Until last year?
- Yes. We had to close down.
34
00:01:40,684 --> 00:01:41,974
- Why?
- Her.
35
00:01:41,979 --> 00:01:43,592
Your Honor, I must object.
36
00:01:43,597 --> 00:01:46,222
My client is not the
direct causal reason
37
00:01:46,227 --> 00:01:47,646
for this man's business to close.
38
00:01:47,651 --> 00:01:51,518
Counselor, what is the violation
to the rules of evidence?
39
00:01:51,523 --> 00:01:52,954
Inflammatory?
40
00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:54,856
- Nope. Overruled.
- Exception.
41
00:01:54,861 --> 00:01:57,689
- Mr. Rahtenberg...
- Rottenberg, Your Honor.
42
00:01:57,694 --> 00:01:59,426
You don't have to keep
saying "exception".
43
00:01:59,431 --> 00:02:00,863
If you go to a higher court,
44
00:02:00,868 --> 00:02:02,169
they're going to take it for granted
45
00:02:02,173 --> 00:02:04,252
that you're taking exception
with my rulings.
46
00:02:04,257 --> 00:02:06,298
- Please, continue.
- Why are you saying
47
00:02:06,303 --> 00:02:08,504
that the defendant, Ms. Marina Beck,
48
00:02:08,509 --> 00:02:10,202
was the reason that
your business closed?
49
00:02:10,207 --> 00:02:12,056
She was a neighbor who
got angry when I parked
50
00:02:12,060 --> 00:02:14,876
in front of her house. She
felt the front curb was hers,
51
00:02:14,881 --> 00:02:17,687
so she started harassing
my family and my business.
52
00:02:17,692 --> 00:02:20,273
Objection to harassment.
It calls for a conclusion.
53
00:02:20,278 --> 00:02:23,258
No, sir. No. The witness is answering.
54
00:02:23,263 --> 00:02:25,848
He's not the questioner.
Improper objection.
55
00:02:25,853 --> 00:02:28,368
- Exception.
- Yes, excepted.
56
00:02:28,373 --> 00:02:29,393
Please continue.
57
00:02:29,398 --> 00:02:31,923
Now, how did the defendant
harass you and your business?
58
00:02:31,928 --> 00:02:33,433
Online. We found out from a friend
59
00:02:33,438 --> 00:02:35,378
there was an article on her newsfeed
60
00:02:35,383 --> 00:02:37,424
about me molesting a
boy at the local school.
61
00:02:37,429 --> 00:02:39,192
- And it was untrue?
- Yes, completely.
62
00:02:39,197 --> 00:02:40,920
But it looked real. And there were
63
00:02:40,925 --> 00:02:43,265
- photos of me.
- And you also discovered that
64
00:02:43,270 --> 00:02:46,455
- she had created a news article?
- Yes.
65
00:02:46,460 --> 00:02:48,749
And how do you know that
Ms. Beck created that article?
66
00:02:48,754 --> 00:02:51,056
We hired an Internet
forensic specialist.
67
00:02:51,061 --> 00:02:52,348
It wasn't just an article.
68
00:02:52,353 --> 00:02:56,043
She created 20 different
social media accounts
69
00:02:56,048 --> 00:02:58,733
of supposed parents who accused
me of touching their children.
70
00:02:58,738 --> 00:03:00,053
And this caused you to lose business?
71
00:03:00,057 --> 00:03:01,518
Many people saw our business name
72
00:03:01,523 --> 00:03:03,342
on that website, Business Scoundrels,
73
00:03:03,347 --> 00:03:05,170
- where she accused me of pedophilia.
- _
74
00:03:05,175 --> 00:03:07,229
If you look for my name online,
that's all that comes up:
75
00:03:07,233 --> 00:03:09,578
articles and discussions
about me molesting children.
76
00:03:09,583 --> 00:03:11,238
And that's why you're
suing, Mr. Van De Berg?
77
00:03:11,242 --> 00:03:12,921
Yes, I want the harassments to stop.
78
00:03:12,926 --> 00:03:15,049
She's still posting ugly
things about my family.
79
00:03:15,054 --> 00:03:16,155
Even today.
80
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,505
But I'm also suing for
my loss of business.
81
00:03:18,510 --> 00:03:20,077
Nothing further, Your Honor.
82
00:03:20,860 --> 00:03:24,176
Sir, why didn't you apply
to get your name removed
83
00:03:24,181 --> 00:03:25,560
- from those websites?
- I did.
84
00:03:25,565 --> 00:03:27,452
- Not hard enough, apparently.
- Business Scoundrels
85
00:03:27,456 --> 00:03:28,806
would only remove the accusations
86
00:03:28,811 --> 00:03:30,469
if I paid a $10,000 service fee.
87
00:03:30,474 --> 00:03:32,762
And isn't your good name worth $10,000?
88
00:03:32,767 --> 00:03:35,361
I didn't want to pay it
because it was extortion.
89
00:03:35,366 --> 00:03:37,463
They accept vile accusations
without proof
90
00:03:37,468 --> 00:03:39,482
and then want to charge
me to take them down?
91
00:03:39,487 --> 00:03:41,832
Okay, okay, I've heard enough.
92
00:03:41,837 --> 00:03:44,052
Let's bring it up here.
93
00:03:44,057 --> 00:03:46,103
Not you, just the lawyers.
94
00:03:47,974 --> 00:03:51,538
Okay, Mr. Rahtenberg,
you're going to lose.
95
00:03:51,543 --> 00:03:52,843
Rottenberg.
96
00:03:52,848 --> 00:03:54,507
You have been biased against my name
97
00:03:54,512 --> 00:03:56,412
- from the beginning, ma'am.
- No, sir.
98
00:03:56,417 --> 00:03:58,458
You have a rotten case,
99
00:03:58,463 --> 00:04:00,847
and an awful client.
100
00:04:00,852 --> 00:04:04,316
What I would suggest you do
is negotiate a fair settlement.
101
00:04:04,321 --> 00:04:05,608
Because if you come back here
102
00:04:05,613 --> 00:04:08,294
it's gonna cost you
twice as much. That's it.
103
00:04:10,027 --> 00:04:12,333
- Tomorrow at my office?
- Sure.
104
00:04:13,260 --> 00:04:15,431
Let's the paperwork
together for a settlement.
105
00:04:15,436 --> 00:04:17,003
On it.
106
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,362
We need the paperwork for a settlement.
107
00:04:20,367 --> 00:04:21,885
Keep track of your billable hours.
108
00:04:21,890 --> 00:04:23,501
On it.
109
00:04:24,184 --> 00:04:25,833
You two go through the billing,
110
00:04:25,838 --> 00:04:27,128
and you two double-check their work.
111
00:04:27,132 --> 00:04:29,612
Oh, and keep track of your hours.
112
00:04:33,628 --> 00:04:36,348
Split these up into piles for
every month for every year,
113
00:04:36,353 --> 00:04:38,616
and keep an accounting of the totals.
114
00:04:39,765 --> 00:04:41,984
Let's get to it.
115
00:04:45,671 --> 00:04:47,029
Things should get better, right?
116
00:04:47,033 --> 00:04:49,427
Something other than paperwork?
117
00:04:50,819 --> 00:04:52,555
Law of averages.
118
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,644
You. What's your name?
119
00:04:54,649 --> 00:04:55,906
Carmen Moyo.
120
00:04:55,911 --> 00:04:57,591
- Let's go.
- Uh, I was told
121
00:04:57,596 --> 00:04:58,997
to collate these bills.
122
00:04:59,567 --> 00:05:02,287
Did the executive partner tell
you to collate those bills?
123
00:05:02,292 --> 00:05:03,310
- No.
- Right,
124
00:05:03,315 --> 00:05:05,143
because that's me. Let's go.
125
00:05:12,841 --> 00:05:14,234
Great.
126
00:05:14,239 --> 00:05:17,002
- Why am I supposed to know you?
- Uh, I don't know if you are.
127
00:05:17,007 --> 00:05:19,060
Why does Benjamin Dafoe know you?
128
00:05:19,065 --> 00:05:20,453
I don't know who that is.
129
00:05:20,458 --> 00:05:23,200
Oh, my God. Law school illiteracy.
130
00:05:25,898 --> 00:05:27,312
Is this her?
131
00:05:27,317 --> 00:05:29,270
Carmen Moyo, as requested.
132
00:05:29,275 --> 00:05:32,452
I don't understand. Who are you?
133
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,903
- Carmen Moyo.
- No. No, no.
134
00:05:35,908 --> 00:05:38,810
- Why are you important?
- I don't think that I am.
135
00:05:38,815 --> 00:05:41,726
Then why do I have my
top client asking for you?
136
00:05:41,731 --> 00:05:43,985
- Who's that?
- Mr. Wolfe-Coleman.
137
00:05:45,222 --> 00:05:47,840
Y-Your client is Wolfe-Coleman.
138
00:05:47,845 --> 00:05:49,819
Hmm. W-What does he need?
139
00:05:49,824 --> 00:05:51,336
Last night, the police searched his home
140
00:05:51,340 --> 00:05:53,556
for any evidence of rape. They
believe they found something
141
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,701
and Mr. Wolfe-Coleman
wanted me to contact
142
00:05:55,706 --> 00:05:59,056
Carmen Moyo to represent him. So...
143
00:05:59,061 --> 00:06:00,411
how did that happen?
144
00:06:01,673 --> 00:06:04,937
I-Is your client an acquaintance
of Oscar Rivi?
145
00:06:05,464 --> 00:06:07,200
The drug dealer? No.
146
00:06:08,027 --> 00:06:10,198
Is your client...
147
00:06:10,203 --> 00:06:12,327
is your client currently
at Menard Correctional?
148
00:06:12,331 --> 00:06:14,363
He was, yes. Why?
149
00:06:14,368 --> 00:06:16,066
I'm representing Mr. Rivi.
150
00:06:19,604 --> 00:06:21,583
Carmen's one of our best.
151
00:06:21,588 --> 00:06:25,827
Uh, why don't we get the
retainer agreement going, Ben?
152
00:06:47,458 --> 00:06:48,619
Oh, good. Go home.
153
00:06:48,624 --> 00:06:50,849
I'll have the rest of the bills
ready to sort tomorrow.
154
00:06:50,854 --> 00:06:52,091
The rest?
155
00:06:52,096 --> 00:06:53,968
Yeah. This is half.
156
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,720
I couldn't have stolen anything.
157
00:07:37,725 --> 00:07:41,071
I wrote my book before Emily
in Paris was even on the air.
158
00:07:41,076 --> 00:07:42,887
- That doesn't mean you couldn't have gotten a copy.
- Hey!
159
00:07:42,891 --> 00:07:43,891
Welcome to Night Court.
160
00:07:43,896 --> 00:07:45,381
- Missed you.
- Emails get hacked every day.
161
00:07:45,385 --> 00:07:46,964
Oh, come on. I never read
162
00:07:46,969 --> 00:07:49,297
her stupid book, and her book
is just a rip-off anyway.
163
00:07:49,302 --> 00:07:51,330
There are lines that are
identical, Your Honor.
164
00:07:51,335 --> 00:07:53,867
Because they're lines
from Emily in Paris.
165
00:07:53,872 --> 00:07:55,303
What is this one about?
166
00:07:55,308 --> 00:07:57,592
That guy says she plagiarized his book.
167
00:07:57,597 --> 00:08:00,352
- Copyright laws, interesting.
- Here, here, here, here.
168
00:08:00,357 --> 00:08:02,659
- Here's the program.
- You've got to be kidding me.
169
00:08:02,663 --> 00:08:04,199
- No. I said that, out loud.
- You plagiarized
170
00:08:04,203 --> 00:08:06,010
from Emily in Paris.
I've never even read the book.
171
00:08:06,014 --> 00:08:07,446
These are actual books?
172
00:08:07,451 --> 00:08:09,978
Self-published. Fan fiction.
173
00:08:09,983 --> 00:08:12,459
Oh, come on. I know you've
got a reputation for doing this,
174
00:08:12,463 --> 00:08:13,814
- and I'm not gonna let you...
- No, 'cause what I said...
175
00:08:13,818 --> 00:08:16,381
Okay. All right, Stop, stop,
stop. That's it. I get it.
176
00:08:16,386 --> 00:08:18,244
Your Honor, this is not a small matter.
177
00:08:18,249 --> 00:08:20,994
Look at Fifty Shades of Gray.
That started as fan fiction.
178
00:08:20,999 --> 00:08:22,591
Okay.
179
00:08:22,596 --> 00:08:23,897
I'm taking a recess.
180
00:08:23,902 --> 00:08:25,377
Um, don't fight when I'm gone.
181
00:08:25,382 --> 00:08:26,582
You.
182
00:08:26,587 --> 00:08:28,105
Can you join me in chambers?
183
00:08:28,110 --> 00:08:29,629
You know him?
184
00:08:29,634 --> 00:08:31,157
No.
185
00:08:35,205 --> 00:08:36,336
Thoughts?
186
00:08:37,207 --> 00:08:39,987
Well, it's copyright law.
187
00:08:39,992 --> 00:08:41,655
Nobody can copy unless
they have the right.
188
00:08:41,659 --> 00:08:42,933
Mm.
189
00:08:42,938 --> 00:08:44,992
But they both borrowed
from Emily in Paris.
190
00:08:44,997 --> 00:08:46,907
Right, I mean...
191
00:08:46,912 --> 00:08:48,748
Look, there's no real money here.
192
00:08:48,753 --> 00:08:51,403
All they want is attention
and to feel like they've won.
193
00:08:51,408 --> 00:08:52,826
Hmm.
194
00:08:52,831 --> 00:08:54,928
- End of Wizard of Oz.
- What?
195
00:08:54,933 --> 00:08:56,756
Scarecrow getting a diploma.
196
00:08:56,761 --> 00:08:59,480
Uh... right. Can you make one?
197
00:08:59,485 --> 00:09:01,692
I'm in Copy Coop. I can make anything.
198
00:09:03,420 --> 00:09:05,117
Okay.
199
00:09:06,771 --> 00:09:09,334
Bing. Here's my decision.
200
00:09:09,339 --> 00:09:11,323
Your books have both been copyrighted
201
00:09:11,328 --> 00:09:13,942
by me and this court,
but under different names.
202
00:09:13,947 --> 00:09:15,601
Neither of you get Paris.
203
00:09:15,606 --> 00:09:17,808
That is your punishment
for not being original.
204
00:09:18,609 --> 00:09:20,432
You get Judy in Nice
205
00:09:20,437 --> 00:09:22,259
and you get Janice in Lyon.
206
00:09:22,264 --> 00:09:23,783
I don't like Lyon.
207
00:09:23,788 --> 00:09:24,788
Tough.
208
00:09:24,793 --> 00:09:26,665
It's either Lyon or
South Bronx. You decide.
209
00:09:27,835 --> 00:09:29,484
Thank you, Your Honor.
210
00:09:29,489 --> 00:09:30,585
Good.
211
00:09:30,590 --> 00:09:32,152
Now, look at each other and say
212
00:09:32,157 --> 00:09:33,550
"I respect and I love you".
213
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,336
Say it or I take away your copyrights.
214
00:09:39,456 --> 00:09:42,323
- I respect and I love you.
- I respect and I love you.
215
00:09:42,328 --> 00:09:44,412
Do it till I believe you.
216
00:09:44,417 --> 00:09:46,153
Marissa.
217
00:09:46,158 --> 00:09:48,547
- Nicely done.
- Thank you.
218
00:09:48,552 --> 00:09:51,506
Amazing what you can do
without a ton of red tape.
219
00:09:51,511 --> 00:09:53,383
Be my law clerk.
220
00:09:54,284 --> 00:09:55,380
What? No.
221
00:09:55,385 --> 00:09:57,991
- I have a job.
- Work here.
222
00:09:57,996 --> 00:10:00,646
Part-time, full-time, your call.
223
00:10:00,651 --> 00:10:01,777
Flat fee.
224
00:10:01,782 --> 00:10:03,779
Ten percent of all the legal filings.
225
00:10:03,784 --> 00:10:06,526
Unlimited use of the copy machines.
226
00:10:07,949 --> 00:10:09,885
Your Honor, this is not a court.
227
00:10:09,890 --> 00:10:12,658
I-I don't know what it is, but it's...
228
00:10:12,663 --> 00:10:14,316
The future.
229
00:10:16,014 --> 00:10:17,750
Come on.
230
00:10:17,755 --> 00:10:19,278
Be here.
231
00:10:20,819 --> 00:10:22,232
I-I can't.
232
00:10:22,237 --> 00:10:25,945
I have a job. I want to pass the bar.
233
00:10:25,950 --> 00:10:27,517
I want to be a real lawyer.
234
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,806
You know why all these people are here?
235
00:10:30,811 --> 00:10:34,723
'Cause the courts and the
lawyers and the appeals
236
00:10:34,728 --> 00:10:37,900
have made justice...
237
00:10:37,905 --> 00:10:40,076
unattainable.
238
00:10:40,081 --> 00:10:41,904
Out of reach.
239
00:10:41,909 --> 00:10:44,590
To anyone who doesn't
have a shitload of money
240
00:10:44,595 --> 00:10:46,418
to wait it out.
241
00:10:46,423 --> 00:10:49,965
That's why Exxon beats out Mr. Nobody.
242
00:10:51,919 --> 00:10:54,439
Read Kafka's Before the Law.
243
00:10:54,444 --> 00:10:56,179
Now I've got homework.
244
00:10:56,184 --> 00:10:58,355
It's one page long.
245
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,450
Don't be a philistine.
246
00:11:02,421 --> 00:11:05,729
Justice is only just if it's
available to everyone.
247
00:11:11,661 --> 00:11:13,858
Kurt? I delayed the reservation,
248
00:11:13,863 --> 00:11:15,851
so I think we can still make it.
249
00:11:17,902 --> 00:11:19,159
Babe?
250
00:11:19,164 --> 00:11:20,843
I'm pouring a drink.
251
00:11:20,848 --> 00:11:22,075
Do you want one?
252
00:11:32,307 --> 00:11:33,787
_
253
00:11:46,234 --> 00:11:48,454
Who is this?
254
00:11:49,934 --> 00:11:51,270
No one.
255
00:11:52,140 --> 00:11:53,933
Well, you just drew in a...
256
00:11:53,938 --> 00:11:55,556
a beard and a mustache on him.
257
00:11:55,561 --> 00:11:56,588
I was doodling.
258
00:11:56,593 --> 00:11:58,690
You-you don't doodle. In fact,
259
00:11:58,695 --> 00:12:01,349
you're the exact opposite
of a doodler. Who is it?
260
00:12:02,542 --> 00:12:05,410
I don't know. I thought it
was somebody I knew, but...
261
00:12:05,415 --> 00:12:07,773
- I'm not sure.
- But you suspect.
262
00:12:07,778 --> 00:12:10,471
I mean, if it's one of
the insurrectionists,
263
00:12:10,476 --> 00:12:13,126
then you need to tell the feds.
264
00:12:13,131 --> 00:12:14,344
Yeah, I'm not sure it's him.
265
00:12:14,349 --> 00:12:15,794
Well, who do you think it is?
266
00:12:15,799 --> 00:12:17,478
Just somebody I went shooting with.
267
00:12:17,483 --> 00:12:19,114
Oh, my God, then it's him.
268
00:12:19,119 --> 00:12:21,208
No, he didn't talk that way.
269
00:12:21,213 --> 00:12:23,215
He wasn't political. He's a veteran.
270
00:12:24,185 --> 00:12:26,239
- Kurt! That's the profile.
- Yeah,
271
00:12:26,244 --> 00:12:28,589
and I don't drop a dime
because he fits a profile.
272
00:12:28,594 --> 00:12:31,096
What is this, a schoolyard? Drop a dime?
273
00:12:31,101 --> 00:12:33,494
This man tried to hang
the vice president.
274
00:12:33,499 --> 00:12:35,970
He tried to kill Nancy Pelosi.
275
00:12:35,975 --> 00:12:38,077
You don't know that, and
I'm not gonna be responsible
276
00:12:38,082 --> 00:12:39,082
for naming names.
277
00:12:39,087 --> 00:12:41,241
- This is not McCarthyism.
- Actually, it is.
278
00:12:41,246 --> 00:12:43,112
- They stormed the Capitol!
- The feds
279
00:12:43,117 --> 00:12:44,740
will threaten me with indictment
280
00:12:44,745 --> 00:12:45,976
if I don't name names.
281
00:12:45,981 --> 00:12:47,671
Even if I'm not sure
if they're responsible.
282
00:12:47,675 --> 00:12:49,299
And then they will be
asked to name names,
283
00:12:49,303 --> 00:12:51,226
and everybody will get lawyers, and...
284
00:12:51,231 --> 00:12:54,103
and those are the only
people who will benefit.
285
00:12:58,558 --> 00:13:00,558
_
286
00:13:05,936 --> 00:13:07,633
What do you need, Diane?
287
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,357
Uh, I-I don't know.
288
00:13:10,362 --> 00:13:12,154
Uh, maybe nothing.
289
00:13:12,159 --> 00:13:13,595
Do you want me to come back?
290
00:13:15,485 --> 00:13:17,443
No.
291
00:13:20,011 --> 00:13:22,622
I want to know who this man is.
292
00:13:24,071 --> 00:13:26,225
Well, that's gonna be pretty hard.
293
00:13:26,230 --> 00:13:27,522
It's not a great photo.
294
00:13:28,510 --> 00:13:31,291
Well, I-I may have
some more information.
295
00:13:31,296 --> 00:13:32,901
He's a veteran.
296
00:13:32,906 --> 00:13:36,862
And he shoots at the
same range as, um...
297
00:13:36,867 --> 00:13:38,790
as my husband, Kurt.
298
00:13:38,795 --> 00:13:41,618
It's the Kankakee Gun Club.
299
00:13:41,623 --> 00:13:44,165
All right, I'll see what I can do.
300
00:13:47,051 --> 00:13:50,166
- What?! Are you serious?!
- Look,
301
00:13:50,171 --> 00:13:51,777
you're missing the tragedy here.
302
00:13:51,782 --> 00:13:52,969
It's not just you guys.
303
00:13:52,974 --> 00:13:54,275
She can't pay me either.
304
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,016
Well, we will be attaching her wages.
305
00:13:56,021 --> 00:13:58,896
Yeah, you're welcome to it, but
there's nothing there. Nothing.
306
00:13:58,901 --> 00:14:00,781
- I looked.
- Well, even-even the inheritance?
307
00:14:00,786 --> 00:14:03,283
- Swallowed up by taxes.
- This is bullshit.
308
00:14:03,288 --> 00:14:05,011
I understand your anger.
309
00:14:05,016 --> 00:14:08,089
But, hey, congratulations on your win.
310
00:14:09,273 --> 00:14:10,878
Dylan Pike.
311
00:14:10,883 --> 00:14:11,971
What?
312
00:14:11,976 --> 00:14:13,420
Dylan Pike.
313
00:14:13,425 --> 00:14:15,814
- The man in the wanted photo.
- How...
314
00:14:15,819 --> 00:14:19,644
Wow. The feds couldn't find him
and you... what, just like that?
315
00:14:19,649 --> 00:14:22,505
- They didn't know he shot at the Kankakee Gun Club.
- That's all you needed?
316
00:14:22,509 --> 00:14:24,284
The club had his driver's
license on their computers.
317
00:14:24,288 --> 00:14:26,260
- And how did you get it?
- Diane, if I told you that,
318
00:14:26,264 --> 00:14:27,347
you wouldn't need me.
319
00:14:27,352 --> 00:14:28,740
Well, we don't pay you enough.
320
00:14:28,745 --> 00:14:31,748
Oh, I know that. Want to see his photo?
321
00:14:34,460 --> 00:14:36,660
_
322
00:14:39,669 --> 00:14:43,276
Um, you want me to call the feds?
323
00:14:43,281 --> 00:14:45,321
Uh, no. I can.
324
00:14:45,326 --> 00:14:48,590
Or, I... I-I will.
325
00:14:49,722 --> 00:14:51,898
I-I just have to think about it.
326
00:14:52,899 --> 00:14:54,723
Hello, sir. Thank you for waiting.
327
00:14:54,727 --> 00:14:56,158
Welcome to Reddick/Lockhart.
328
00:14:56,163 --> 00:14:58,004
Can I help you?
329
00:14:58,009 --> 00:15:00,490
David Rathbone for Liz Reddick.
330
00:15:02,822 --> 00:15:06,647
I think David Cord is in the
reception waiting for you.
331
00:15:06,652 --> 00:15:09,028
David Cord? Like, the Cord Brothers?
332
00:15:09,033 --> 00:15:11,499
Yeah. He asked for you,
333
00:15:11,504 --> 00:15:13,419
but he gave his name as David Rathbone.
334
00:15:13,424 --> 00:15:14,481
Why?
335
00:15:14,486 --> 00:15:15,966
I have no idea.
336
00:15:16,793 --> 00:15:18,659
What have I done with the aces?
337
00:15:18,664 --> 00:15:20,492
- Sure.
- Mm.
338
00:15:21,275 --> 00:15:22,532
Oh...
339
00:15:25,410 --> 00:15:27,450
Thank you. Thank you.
340
00:15:27,455 --> 00:15:29,452
Mr. Cord?
341
00:15:29,457 --> 00:15:31,541
Ms. Reddick. Hello.
342
00:15:31,546 --> 00:15:33,152
I knew your father.
343
00:15:33,157 --> 00:15:34,362
I hated your father.
344
00:15:35,076 --> 00:15:36,982
Yes. Well, he hated you, too.
345
00:15:36,987 --> 00:15:39,898
You gave the name Rathbone?
346
00:15:39,903 --> 00:15:41,251
I did.
347
00:15:41,256 --> 00:15:44,780
I do that, sometimes, just to see
if I get as warm a reception
348
00:15:44,785 --> 00:15:46,743
as I would if I gave my true name.
349
00:15:46,748 --> 00:15:49,864
And I'm happy to say I did.
350
00:15:49,869 --> 00:15:51,518
- Hello.
- Oh, this is Marissa.
351
00:15:51,523 --> 00:15:53,389
This is one of our law clinic lawyers.
352
00:15:53,394 --> 00:15:55,243
Eli Gold's daughter.
353
00:15:55,248 --> 00:15:58,138
Democrats as far as the eye can see.
354
00:15:58,965 --> 00:16:02,303
Why don't you ask
Julius to join us. Hmm?
355
00:16:05,363 --> 00:16:07,844
I want to save the country.
356
00:16:09,976 --> 00:16:11,556
You want to save it?
357
00:16:11,561 --> 00:16:12,874
Yes.
358
00:16:12,879 --> 00:16:13,975
Don't you?
359
00:16:13,980 --> 00:16:15,163
Yes.
360
00:16:15,168 --> 00:16:19,124
January 6 changed everything for me.
361
00:16:19,129 --> 00:16:21,417
My "road to Damascus" moment, but...
362
00:16:21,422 --> 00:16:24,303
Do I have to explain that to Democrats?
363
00:16:24,308 --> 00:16:25,378
No.
364
00:16:25,383 --> 00:16:26,683
And I'm not a Democrat.
365
00:16:26,688 --> 00:16:28,007
Ah! That's my point.
366
00:16:28,012 --> 00:16:31,340
See, I came to realize that
we... say, the three of us...
367
00:16:31,345 --> 00:16:34,026
we have a lot more in common
than we might think.
368
00:16:34,031 --> 00:16:35,288
We all love this country.
369
00:16:35,293 --> 00:16:37,869
I love this country.
370
00:16:37,874 --> 00:16:39,479
It gave my family a start.
371
00:16:39,484 --> 00:16:41,873
My dad, he started a
small laundry business.
372
00:16:41,878 --> 00:16:44,223
Sent his son to college, and I...
373
00:16:44,228 --> 00:16:46,099
made something of myself.
374
00:16:46,926 --> 00:16:49,445
Too many people take
America for granted.
375
00:16:49,450 --> 00:16:50,882
I don't.
376
00:16:50,887 --> 00:16:53,928
And I suspect that you don't either.
377
00:16:53,933 --> 00:16:57,584
Well, I-I don't think there's
a disagreement there.
378
00:16:57,589 --> 00:16:59,673
I think the disagreement
is in the details.
379
00:16:59,678 --> 00:17:02,894
Ah. Well, let's start with the details.
380
00:17:02,899 --> 00:17:05,510
Reif Van De Berg and Leo's Bike Shop.
381
00:17:06,772 --> 00:17:09,074
- What is that?
- Uh, that's a...
382
00:17:09,079 --> 00:17:12,394
uh, a defamation suit
involving a small business.
383
00:17:12,399 --> 00:17:13,674
A-A suit that we won.
384
00:17:13,679 --> 00:17:15,086
But it didn't make any difference
385
00:17:15,090 --> 00:17:16,751
because the defendant is bankrupt.
386
00:17:16,756 --> 00:17:18,666
Uh, I-I don't, uh, know how...
387
00:17:18,671 --> 00:17:20,415
And the client's retainer is gone.
388
00:17:20,420 --> 00:17:22,478
- He has no money to pay you.
- Uh, Mr. Cord...
389
00:17:22,483 --> 00:17:26,278
So, I want to hire you to
continue to sue on his behalf.
390
00:17:26,283 --> 00:17:29,890
I'll offer you a $12 million
fund to continue the suit
391
00:17:29,895 --> 00:17:31,966
for another six months.
392
00:17:31,971 --> 00:17:34,099
Uh... Why?
393
00:17:34,104 --> 00:17:37,219
My only request is that you go
after a different defendant
394
00:17:37,224 --> 00:17:38,625
for defamation.
395
00:17:38,630 --> 00:17:40,714
One with deeper pockets.
396
00:17:40,719 --> 00:17:42,194
The social media company
397
00:17:42,199 --> 00:17:45,110
that distributed Ms. Beck's
vile lies to the public.
398
00:17:45,115 --> 00:17:48,200
But $12 million is a lot of money.
399
00:17:48,205 --> 00:17:50,419
So, what's in this for you?
400
00:17:50,424 --> 00:17:52,949
I want to go after Section 230.

How do I make an anonymous phone call?
436
00:19:23,474 --> 00:19:25,998
- Do you have a burner?
- No.
437
00:19:38,576 --> 00:19:40,834
Uh, hello. Yes...
438
00:19:40,839 --> 00:19:42,662
I would like to report the name
439
00:19:42,667 --> 00:19:45,391
of one of the January 6 rioters.
440
00:19:45,396 --> 00:19:47,459
I saw on your poster.
441
00:19:52,459 --> 00:19:54,157
Dylan Pike.
442
00:19:55,362 --> 00:19:56,750
No.
443
00:19:56,755 --> 00:19:58,757
I-I'd rather not leave my name.
444
00:20:00,554 --> 00:20:02,861
No. I-I don't.
445
00:21:31,128 --> 00:21:38,628
- Synced and corrected by Firefly -
- www.addic7ed.com -
446
00:21:51,274 --> 00:21:53,706
David Cord is not a good look for us.
447
00:21:53,711 --> 00:21:57,362
I think we would look
great in $12 million.
448
00:21:57,367 --> 00:21:58,841
Blood money.
449
00:21:58,846 --> 00:21:59,846
That's a little dramatic.
450
00:21:59,851 --> 00:22:03,041
The amount of money he's spent
funding Republican campaigns
451
00:22:03,046 --> 00:22:05,431
- over the last decade...
- If you all weren't all so busy
452
00:22:05,436 --> 00:22:07,546
turning up your noses
at the Republican Party,
453
00:22:07,551 --> 00:22:10,679
you might remember that
Democrats and Republicans
454
00:22:10,684 --> 00:22:12,703
thought Section 230 was flawed.
455
00:22:12,708 --> 00:22:14,356
Here's an opportunity for the unity
456
00:22:14,361 --> 00:22:15,662
that the Democrats say they want.
457
00:22:15,666 --> 00:22:17,646
I've never asked to unite
with white supremacists.
458
00:22:17,651 --> 00:22:20,332
Yeah, let's not pretend this is
some bipartisan issue, though.
459
00:22:20,337 --> 00:22:23,331
The right has no interest in
stopping conspiracy theories
460
00:22:23,336 --> 00:22:24,887
- on these platforms.
- It would help if the boomers
461
00:22:24,891 --> 00:22:26,891
would stop falling for
those conspiracy theories
462
00:22:26,896 --> 00:22:29,425
and sharing it with their friends.
463
00:22:32,141 --> 00:22:34,225
Sorry, but it would.
464
00:22:34,230 --> 00:22:36,414
And no more plotting to
overthrow the government,
465
00:22:36,419 --> 00:22:38,298
or stalking journalists online.
466
00:22:38,303 --> 00:22:40,374
What about the employee
that wants to speak out
467
00:22:40,379 --> 00:22:42,668
against the boss that's
sexually harassing them?
468
00:22:42,673 --> 00:22:45,149
They repeal Section 230,
and there would be no #MeToo.
469
00:22:45,154 --> 00:22:47,568
I don't believe that.
You regulate Section 230,
470
00:22:47,573 --> 00:22:50,632
and let the newspapers get back
to actually being competitive.
471
00:22:50,637 --> 00:22:52,765
We're not going back to
reading newspapers, grandpa.
472
00:22:52,770 --> 00:22:54,768
- Grandpa?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's inappropriate.
473
00:22:54,772 --> 00:22:56,453
- There's no need...
- Did you really just say "grandpa"?
474
00:22:56,457 --> 00:22:58,019
Wait! Wait. Wait. Wait.
475
00:22:58,024 --> 00:23:00,294
If we're gonna go after
the social media giants,
476
00:23:00,299 --> 00:23:03,750
we need the resources of
a deep pocket like Cord.
477
00:23:03,755 --> 00:23:05,605
- Where are you going?
- To court.
478
00:23:05,609 --> 00:23:08,563
But we haven't decided if we're
taking this Cord money yet.
479
00:23:08,568 --> 00:23:09,961
Of course we are.
480
00:23:14,008 --> 00:23:16,228
Ooh-kay.
481
00:23:17,142 --> 00:23:18,517
This is a new suit?
482
00:23:18,522 --> 00:23:21,420
It's the same facts, Your Honor,
but different defendant.
483
00:23:21,425 --> 00:23:23,405
- You're suing Chumhum?
- Yes, Your Honor.
484
00:23:23,409 --> 00:23:26,054
You have read Section 230, I assume.
485
00:23:26,059 --> 00:23:29,149
Yes, Section 230 purports
to shield Internet platforms
486
00:23:29,154 --> 00:23:33,484
from liability, but we believe
it is unconstitutional
487
00:23:33,489 --> 00:23:35,851
because it contravenes
the First Amendment.
488
00:23:35,856 --> 00:23:37,057
And how does it do that?
489
00:23:37,062 --> 00:23:38,985
Well, the First Amendment
states that, uh,
490
00:23:38,990 --> 00:23:40,291
"Congress shall make no law
491
00:23:40,296 --> 00:23:41,740
abridging the freedom of the press".
492
00:23:41,745 --> 00:23:44,164
Section 230 doesn't say
anything about the press.
493
00:23:44,169 --> 00:23:48,181
No, but in practice, the law
has decimated the press.
494
00:23:48,186 --> 00:23:49,661
Through Section 230,
495
00:23:49,666 --> 00:23:52,625
the government has placed
its thumb on the scales,
496
00:23:52,630 --> 00:23:54,609
in favor of Internet platforms
497
00:23:54,614 --> 00:23:57,064
over newspapers and other press outlets.
498
00:24:02,579 --> 00:24:03,884
Huh.
499
00:24:09,626 --> 00:24:11,626
_
500
00:24:11,631 --> 00:24:13,498
Fucking Democrats.
501
00:24:13,503 --> 00:24:16,027
Take care. Stay in touch.
502
00:24:20,044 --> 00:24:21,432
May I help you?
503
00:24:21,437 --> 00:24:22,703
Oh. Sure hope so.
504
00:24:22,708 --> 00:24:24,857
Um, Madeline Starkey. I'm with the FBI.
505
00:24:24,862 --> 00:24:28,052
I'll never get used to saying that.
It sounds so melodramatic.
506
00:24:28,057 --> 00:24:31,060
My husband made a ringtone for my phone.
507
00:24:32,348 --> 00:24:34,414
I'm Madeline Starkey with the FBI.
508
00:24:39,790 --> 00:24:41,265
Hi.
509
00:24:41,270 --> 00:24:43,789
- May I help you, Ms. Starkey?
- Oh, so polite.
510
00:24:43,794 --> 00:24:48,219
Uh, yes, uh, you may help me
by answering a few questions.
511
00:24:48,224 --> 00:24:50,204
Uh, and I won't take up
too much of your time.
512
00:24:50,209 --> 00:24:52,663
- Seems like a bad day.
- Presidential transition,
513
00:24:52,668 --> 00:24:53,935
a lot of people are being let go.
514
00:24:53,939 --> 00:24:56,149
Uh, I'm so sorry. But not you, though?
515
00:24:56,154 --> 00:24:58,978
Not yet. Unless that's why you're here.
516
00:24:58,983 --> 00:25:00,345
Oh. No, no, no, no.
517
00:25:00,350 --> 00:25:01,563
I'm the deep state.
518
00:25:01,568 --> 00:25:04,602
We don't do anything meaningful.
519
00:25:06,251 --> 00:25:08,645
Mm. I spoke to a friend
of yours, Dylan Pike.
520
00:25:10,821 --> 00:25:15,342
He said you trained him in the
use of AR-15s, nine millimeters,
521
00:25:15,347 --> 00:25:17,393
how to buy ammunition in bulk.
522
00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:21,692
We covered a bunch of
subjects in his group.
523
00:25:21,697 --> 00:25:23,281
So it wasn't just a one-on-one.
524
00:25:23,286 --> 00:25:24,847
It was a small group of veterans.
525
00:25:24,852 --> 00:25:27,223
I believe this group was five veterans.
526
00:25:27,228 --> 00:25:28,921
You wouldn't happen
to remember the names
527
00:25:28,926 --> 00:25:31,576
of the other four individuals
who trained with Mr. Pike?
528
00:25:31,581 --> 00:25:34,592
This would be sometime prior
to the January events, uh,
529
00:25:34,597 --> 00:25:36,181
at the Capitol.
530
00:25:40,633 --> 00:25:42,940
Could you provide me with those names?
531
00:25:45,029 --> 00:25:46,460
No.
532
00:25:46,465 --> 00:25:47,896
Sorry. Can't.
533
00:25:47,901 --> 00:25:50,121
You can't? Or you won't?
534
00:25:54,665 --> 00:25:57,702
You have a very calm manner.
535
00:25:57,707 --> 00:26:00,300
I should be calm, but I'm unnerved.
536
00:26:00,305 --> 00:26:02,402
Anything else, Ms. Starkey?
537
00:26:02,407 --> 00:26:04,217
No. No, no, not right now.
538
00:26:04,222 --> 00:26:06,616
But pretty soon. We'll be in touch.
539
00:26:13,487 --> 00:26:16,877
You've been a managing editor
for how long, Mr. Hookstratten?
540
00:26:16,882 --> 00:26:18,740
Twenty-three years. I was a reporter
541
00:26:18,745 --> 00:26:19,747
for ten years before that.
542
00:26:19,751 --> 00:26:21,226
And you were aware, were you not,
543
00:26:21,231 --> 00:26:24,045
of this story that was
circulating on social media
544
00:26:24,050 --> 00:26:27,366
about a bike shop owner
grooming school children
545
00:26:27,371 --> 00:26:29,571
- for sexual exploitation.
- I was aware of it, yes.
546
00:26:29,576 --> 00:26:31,963
Why didn't your newspaper
cover the story?
547
00:26:31,968 --> 00:26:34,634
It... It seems like it was
newsworthy, right?
548
00:26:34,639 --> 00:26:37,168
- If it were true, yes.
- How do you know it wasn't?
549
00:26:37,173 --> 00:26:39,583
Because I spent two weeks
running down the rumors.
550
00:26:39,588 --> 00:26:41,410
In the case of this story,
there was nothing,
551
00:26:41,415 --> 00:26:42,815
just a lot of gossip online.
552
00:26:42,820 --> 00:26:45,621
Now, what kind of financial
shape of your newspaper
553
00:26:45,626 --> 00:26:48,609
at the time that you decided
not to run the story?
554
00:26:48,614 --> 00:26:51,917
Your Honor, I'm sorry,
but I have to object there.
555
00:26:51,922 --> 00:26:52,997
Relevance.
556
00:26:53,002 --> 00:26:56,474
The financial impact of
Section 230's exemption
557
00:26:56,479 --> 00:26:59,446
- on newspapers is directly relevant.
- Overruled.
558
00:26:59,451 --> 00:27:01,141
We were broke and getting broker.
559
00:27:01,145 --> 00:27:02,459
The advertisers we'd counted on
560
00:27:02,464 --> 00:27:04,270
had mostly gone over to the Internet.
561
00:27:04,674 --> 00:27:06,845
It was only a matter of time
before we wouldn't be able
562
00:27:06,850 --> 00:27:08,220
to keep the lights on anymore.
563
00:27:08,225 --> 00:27:10,244
Six months ago, that time came.
564
00:27:10,249 --> 00:27:11,816
Your witness.
565
00:27:13,983 --> 00:27:17,063
Classified ads were a big source
of revenue for newspapers
566
00:27:17,068 --> 00:27:18,466
- at one time. Is that right?
- They were.
567
00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:22,034
I imagine those being a thing
of the past contributed to that.
568
00:27:22,039 --> 00:27:23,715
- It did.
- What about cable news networks?
569
00:27:23,719 --> 00:27:24,986
- That have an impact?
- Objection, Your Honor.
570
00:27:24,990 --> 00:27:27,672
We are not litigating over
cable news or classified ads.
571
00:27:27,677 --> 00:27:30,477
That's right. We're litigating
over your untested theory
572
00:27:30,482 --> 00:27:32,914
that newspapers went bankrupt
because social media
573
00:27:32,919 --> 00:27:35,569
has a government-sanctioned
advantage in the marketplace.
574
00:27:35,574 --> 00:27:39,020
We should, Your Honor, at the
very least, test this theory.
575
00:27:39,025 --> 00:27:41,327
Agreed. Overruled.
576
00:27:41,332 --> 00:27:43,203
Is it possible, Mr. Hookstratten,
577
00:27:43,208 --> 00:27:46,450
that the reason these
newspapers went bankrupt
578
00:27:46,455 --> 00:27:47,786
is no more complicated
579
00:27:47,791 --> 00:27:49,632
than they didn't keep up
with their competition?
580
00:27:49,636 --> 00:27:53,449
- That's one reason.
- Thank you for not contesting the obvious.
581
00:27:56,290 --> 00:27:58,075
Mr. Hookstratten...
582
00:27:59,555 --> 00:28:01,926
... didn't your newspaper
conduct this survey
583
00:28:01,931 --> 00:28:04,916
- of where readers were now getting their news?
- Yes.
584
00:28:04,921 --> 00:28:07,000
And what were the top four sources?
585
00:28:07,005 --> 00:28:09,642
Facebook, Twitter, Google, Chumhum.
586
00:28:09,647 --> 00:28:13,259
None of which can be sued for
defamation, libel, or fraud.
587
00:28:13,264 --> 00:28:15,809
Now, do you think that
enters in to what stories
588
00:28:15,814 --> 00:28:18,873
you do run, and what
stories you do not run?
589
00:28:18,878 --> 00:28:21,310
It's always hanging over your head.
590
00:28:21,315 --> 00:28:23,996
Gawker was sued out of existence
591
00:28:24,001 --> 00:28:25,750
by someone who wanted them shut down.
592
00:28:25,755 --> 00:28:29,057
That can happen to a
newspaper or a website.
593
00:28:29,062 --> 00:28:31,804
It can't happen to Facebook.
594
00:28:41,579 --> 00:28:43,663
Oh, I forgot you were in here.
595
00:28:43,668 --> 00:28:45,291
Yeah. You don't need
to do those anymore.
596
00:28:45,296 --> 00:28:47,298
We're suing Chumhum now.
597
00:29:12,197 --> 00:29:14,330
Uh, case number 15. Let's go.
598
00:29:17,981 --> 00:29:19,891
Ah!
599
00:29:19,896 --> 00:29:21,196
Five-minute recess.
600
00:29:21,201 --> 00:29:23,503
Don't touch these props, please.
601
00:29:23,508 --> 00:29:25,257
I want to do both.
602
00:29:25,262 --> 00:29:27,986
I want to clerk here, and I want
to work at Reddick/Lockhart.
603
00:29:27,991 --> 00:29:29,640
How many hours can you give me?
604
00:29:29,645 --> 00:29:31,032
What do you need me to do?
605
00:29:31,037 --> 00:29:32,356
Well...
606
00:29:32,361 --> 00:29:34,488
My copyright certificates are...
607
00:29:34,493 --> 00:29:37,186
are catching on with the
fan fiction crowd, and...
608
00:29:37,191 --> 00:29:39,629
I need you to process them.
609
00:29:40,686 --> 00:29:42,509
How much are you charging for these?
610
00:29:42,514 --> 00:29:44,861
I checked what the Writers Guild
charged for script registration.
611
00:29:44,865 --> 00:29:46,265
- 20 bucks.
- You're kidding.
612
00:29:46,270 --> 00:29:48,664
- And how many have you sold?
- 412.
613
00:29:49,434 --> 00:29:50,635
- What?
- I know.
614
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,114
It spread online.
615
00:29:52,119 --> 00:29:54,260
But these don't mean anything.
616
00:29:54,265 --> 00:29:55,566
They're just pieces of paper.
617
00:29:55,571 --> 00:29:57,071
What do you think US copyright is?
618
00:29:57,076 --> 00:30:00,148
Mine is at least good for 71 years.
619
00:30:00,153 --> 00:30:01,489
That's a year more than US.
620
00:30:01,494 --> 00:30:04,161
Okay, but a plagiarist
can still steal a work.
621
00:30:04,166 --> 00:30:05,732
They can do that with the US copyright.
622
00:30:05,737 --> 00:30:08,026
They just get sued in court,
like they would in my court.
623
00:30:08,031 --> 00:30:09,244
Oh, my God.
624
00:30:09,249 --> 00:30:12,552
Marissa, I'm building something here.
625
00:30:12,557 --> 00:30:14,467
I want you to join me.
626
00:30:14,472 --> 00:30:16,034
I want your advice.
627
00:30:16,039 --> 00:30:17,339
I want your advice on cases.
628
00:30:17,344 --> 00:30:19,654
I want to bounce legal theories off you.
629
00:30:19,659 --> 00:30:21,482
What are your legal theories?
630
00:30:21,487 --> 00:30:24,395
I don't know. That's why
I need to bounce them.
631
00:30:27,398 --> 00:30:30,657
Okay. I can give you
from noon to 2:00 pm,
632
00:30:30,662 --> 00:30:33,007
and 5:00 to 7:00, if you want it.
633
00:30:33,012 --> 00:30:34,574
Boom.
634
00:30:34,579 --> 00:30:36,476
That's how revolutions are made.
635
00:30:36,481 --> 00:30:38,130
Back rooms of copy shops.
636
00:30:38,135 --> 00:30:39,348
Let's go.
637
00:30:39,353 --> 00:30:41,138
Hey! I'm home.
638
00:30:42,605 --> 00:30:44,128
Kurt?
639
00:30:46,896 --> 00:30:49,725
Some reason you're sitting in the dark?
640
00:30:51,540 --> 00:30:52,541
No.
641
00:30:56,427 --> 00:30:59,294
You want me to come and sit with you?
642
00:30:59,299 --> 00:31:01,911
I got a visit from the FBI today.
643
00:31:05,610 --> 00:31:07,738
Uh, about what?
644
00:31:07,743 --> 00:31:11,268
About the guy I took shooting,
the one in the Wanted poster.
645
00:31:14,358 --> 00:31:17,399
- And what did you tell them?
- Nothing.
646
00:31:17,404 --> 00:31:19,650
This agent wanted me to give her names
647
00:31:19,655 --> 00:31:21,670
of the other veterans I took shooting.
648
00:31:23,759 --> 00:31:25,712
Okay, Kurt, listen to me. I...
649
00:31:25,717 --> 00:31:29,455
I'm your wife, which means
that anything you tell me
650
00:31:29,460 --> 00:31:32,376
is privileged communication. So...
651
00:31:33,812 --> 00:31:37,550
This is not the time to be
the taciturn mountain man.
652
00:31:37,555 --> 00:31:40,801
Just tell me. Tell me everything.
653
00:31:40,806 --> 00:31:42,555
About?
654
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,301
Who did you take shooting?
655
00:31:45,650 --> 00:31:47,312
Veterans with PTSD.
656
00:31:47,317 --> 00:31:50,084
I volunteer to shoot
with them on Saturdays.
657
00:31:50,089 --> 00:31:51,751
They're not criminals.
658
00:31:51,756 --> 00:31:54,833
Then just give the FBI
their names and explain that.
659
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,453
One of these veterans
said he was going to D.C.
660
00:31:58,458 --> 00:32:00,194
and he wanted a tour of the Capitol.
661
00:32:00,199 --> 00:32:03,159
I called the congressional
office to arrange it.
662
00:32:06,323 --> 00:32:08,189
When was this?
663
00:32:08,194 --> 00:32:10,022
On January 5.
664
00:32:15,375 --> 00:32:17,726
Which congressperson?
665
00:32:18,509 --> 00:32:19,810
I'm not gonna say.
666
00:32:19,815 --> 00:32:22,731
Kurt, I can't tell anyone.
667
00:32:32,915 --> 00:32:34,394
I'm not gonna say.
668
00:32:39,008 --> 00:32:40,700
Okay.
669
00:32:40,705 --> 00:32:43,037
You're not gonna talk to the feds again.
670
00:32:43,042 --> 00:32:45,226
I-I am going to talk to them.
671
00:32:45,231 --> 00:32:47,968
You think I'm in trouble?
672
00:32:47,973 --> 00:32:51,489
Yes. I think you're a Trump official
673
00:32:51,494 --> 00:32:54,048
who trained an insurrectionist
in firearms.
674
00:32:54,053 --> 00:32:55,310
I didn't train...
675
00:32:55,315 --> 00:32:57,748
And then arranged
676
00:32:57,753 --> 00:32:59,668
for them to scout the Capitol.
677
00:33:00,812 --> 00:33:04,033
I think that's the
definition of trouble.
678
00:33:05,730 --> 00:33:08,380
So here's where I come in.
679
00:33:08,385 --> 00:33:10,735
From this moment on...
680
00:33:11,362 --> 00:33:13,233
I am your lawyer.
681
00:33:20,811 --> 00:33:22,721
Have a seat.
682
00:33:22,726 --> 00:33:24,400
How...
683
00:33:24,405 --> 00:33:26,054
How is your bird problem?
684
00:33:26,059 --> 00:33:27,921
Intermittent.
685
00:33:27,926 --> 00:33:30,663
They put rotors out there,
so the birds won't land.
686
00:33:30,668 --> 00:33:31,904
Makes sense.
687
00:33:31,909 --> 00:33:33,253
Eh, sometimes.
688
00:33:33,258 --> 00:33:34,585
But here we are again.
689
00:33:34,590 --> 00:33:36,312
Yes. This'll be very brief.
690
00:33:36,317 --> 00:33:39,163
I just want you to know
I'm Kurt McVeigh's attorney,
691
00:33:39,168 --> 00:33:42,114
and I need you to not approach
him again without my presence.
692
00:33:42,119 --> 00:33:43,632
You're going to represent him?
693
00:33:43,637 --> 00:33:45,139
- Yes.
- Oh.
694
00:33:45,144 --> 00:33:48,499
That will put such a strain
on the marriage.
695
00:33:48,504 --> 00:33:50,204
Thanks for the concern.
696
00:33:50,209 --> 00:33:51,902
Here's my card.
697
00:33:51,907 --> 00:33:54,252
If you want to interview him
again, just call that number.
698
00:33:54,257 --> 00:33:56,341
- Okay, just so you know, we're not after Kurt.
- Mm.
699
00:33:56,346 --> 00:33:58,082
Uh-oh.
700
00:33:58,087 --> 00:33:59,087
What?
701
00:33:59,092 --> 00:34:00,911
The bells.
702
00:34:00,916 --> 00:34:03,435
You might not want to watch this.
703
00:34:04,533 --> 00:34:05,611
What?
704
00:34:07,618 --> 00:34:10,050
Oh, my God.
705
00:34:10,055 --> 00:34:11,399
Oh!
706
00:34:11,404 --> 00:34:13,745
The birds haven't quite
caught on to the rotors.
707
00:34:13,750 --> 00:34:16,143
Building maintenance insists
they will eventually,
708
00:34:16,148 --> 00:34:17,149
but I don't know.
709
00:34:17,154 --> 00:34:19,407
Oh, my... Oh, my God.
710
00:34:19,412 --> 00:34:20,892
Anyway...
711
00:34:22,024 --> 00:34:25,849
Job one, for the FBI, is
identifying and building cases
712
00:34:25,854 --> 00:34:29,039
against as many of the
January 6 rioters as possible.
713
00:34:29,044 --> 00:34:31,271
And I-I-I wish you great success.
714
00:34:31,276 --> 00:34:33,631
As far as I'm concerned, they
all deserve to be locked up.
715
00:34:33,636 --> 00:34:35,154
Well, yes, given your politics,
716
00:34:35,159 --> 00:34:36,885
I thought you might be sympathetic.
717
00:34:36,890 --> 00:34:38,644
And job two...
718
00:34:38,649 --> 00:34:40,946
is preventing the next January 6.
719
00:34:40,951 --> 00:34:43,692
I always looked at the Conway marriage,
720
00:34:43,697 --> 00:34:46,304
and I wondered how they did it.
721
00:34:46,309 --> 00:34:47,827
Maybe you can tell me sometime.
722
00:34:47,832 --> 00:34:49,829
Good luck with your investigation.
723
00:34:49,834 --> 00:34:51,613
Ooh...
724
00:34:51,618 --> 00:34:53,969
You get used to it.
725
00:34:54,839 --> 00:34:57,850
Gunnar Neustadt, former
Chumhum content moderator.
726
00:34:57,855 --> 00:35:00,348
And why are you no longer at Chumhum?
727
00:35:00,353 --> 00:35:02,051
PTSD.
728
00:35:03,848 --> 00:35:06,838
Uh, what about the work
there was traumatic?
729
00:35:06,843 --> 00:35:08,966
- The churn.
- The churn? What is the churn?
730
00:35:08,971 --> 00:35:10,981
Constant turnover of bad content.
731
00:35:10,986 --> 00:35:13,270
Some of it sad, some of it homicidal,
732
00:35:13,275 --> 00:35:15,185
some of it political. It never stopped.
733
00:35:15,190 --> 00:35:17,809
So, all you did was block the churn?
734
00:35:17,814 --> 00:35:21,252
No, we also highlighted,
repositioned, featured items.
735
00:35:21,257 --> 00:35:22,514
Oh, in other words,
736
00:35:22,519 --> 00:35:23,964
you did what a newspaper editor does?
737
00:35:23,968 --> 00:35:25,473
Objection.
738
00:35:25,478 --> 00:35:27,324
Leading.
739
00:35:30,005 --> 00:35:31,175
Overruled.
740
00:35:31,180 --> 00:35:32,959
It felt like I was an editor.
741
00:35:32,964 --> 00:35:36,532
In that you were blocking violent
or pornographic content?
742
00:35:36,537 --> 00:35:38,530
In the sense that we featured clickbait.
743
00:35:38,535 --> 00:35:42,181
Um, if it sparked anger
or outrage, we featured it.
744
00:35:42,186 --> 00:35:44,015
- That's how the site made money.
- Thank you.
745
00:35:44,019 --> 00:35:45,908
Nothing further, Your Honor.
746
00:35:46,778 --> 00:35:49,650
Uh, just one second, Your Honor.
747
00:35:50,939 --> 00:35:52,544
I was at a judge's conference,
748
00:35:52,549 --> 00:35:54,676
and Judge Friend said that her dad
749
00:35:54,681 --> 00:35:57,592
was a small-town newspaper editor.
750
00:35:57,597 --> 00:35:59,408
Go after editorial content.
751
00:36:01,553 --> 00:36:03,420
You go for it.
752
00:36:03,425 --> 00:36:07,037
- Why me?
- Because we have an audience of one.
753
00:36:07,042 --> 00:36:08,560
Wait.
754
00:36:08,565 --> 00:36:10,040
Don't look now.
755
00:36:10,045 --> 00:36:12,577
I haven't questioned
a witness in two years.
756
00:36:12,582 --> 00:36:14,236
Okay. Then it's time.
757
00:36:18,183 --> 00:36:21,399
Mr. Neustadt...
758
00:36:21,404 --> 00:36:22,922
Mr. Neustadt.
759
00:36:22,927 --> 00:36:26,164
How often did you meet
with your team of editors?
760
00:36:26,169 --> 00:36:28,445
Excuse me, moderators.
761
00:36:28,450 --> 00:36:31,278
- Twice a day. Morning and evening.
- Okay.
762
00:36:31,283 --> 00:36:32,601
Good.
763
00:36:32,606 --> 00:36:35,804
And, uh, what did you
discuss at these meetings?
764
00:36:35,809 --> 00:36:37,180
Which stories were trending.
765
00:36:37,185 --> 00:36:40,044
And by trending, you mean...
766
00:36:40,049 --> 00:36:42,028
Uh, popular, interesting, newsworthy.
767
00:36:42,033 --> 00:36:43,525
You were assigning value?
768
00:36:43,530 --> 00:36:45,423
Objection. Counselor is testifying.
769
00:36:45,428 --> 00:36:46,728
Overruled.
770
00:36:46,733 --> 00:36:48,513
Continue, Counselor.
771
00:36:48,518 --> 00:36:51,124
Mr. Neustadt, if you were deciding
772
00:36:51,129 --> 00:36:52,908
which stories were important,
773
00:36:52,913 --> 00:36:56,471
how is that different from
what an editorial team
774
00:36:56,476 --> 00:36:57,976
- at a newspaper does?
- Objection.
775
00:36:57,981 --> 00:36:59,928
The witness cannot be expected to know
776
00:36:59,933 --> 00:37:01,600
the inner workings of a newspaper.
777
00:37:01,605 --> 00:37:04,916
Actually, I worked in the
Tribune Metro section
778
00:37:04,921 --> 00:37:06,275
for three years.
779
00:37:20,419 --> 00:37:21,850
What?
780
00:37:21,855 --> 00:37:23,548
Build-a-Bears.
781
00:37:23,553 --> 00:37:24,593
They were sent to Marissa.
782
00:37:24,597 --> 00:37:26,290
Okay.
783
00:37:26,295 --> 00:37:27,956
- Why?
- No idea.
784
00:37:27,961 --> 00:37:31,139
- This one's a Marissa bear.
- Hug me.
785
00:37:35,347 --> 00:37:38,128
Why don't we, meaning you,
786
00:37:38,133 --> 00:37:40,043
take all these stuffed animals
787
00:37:40,048 --> 00:37:41,832
and put them in the conference room.
788
00:37:47,925 --> 00:37:49,427
I'm just saying Mr. Wolfe-Coleman,
789
00:37:49,431 --> 00:37:51,520
this may not be the firm for you.
790
00:37:52,799 --> 00:37:54,100
Benjamin Dafoe.
791
00:37:54,105 --> 00:37:55,119
One moment.
792
00:37:55,124 --> 00:37:56,977
- Please send this out.
- Okay.
793
00:37:59,528 --> 00:38:02,270
I know. I'm putting them
in the conference room.
794
00:38:07,336 --> 00:38:09,455
- Do you have a minute, Marissa?
- Sure.
795
00:38:09,460 --> 00:38:11,383
- Actually, I, um...
- Carmen.
796
00:38:11,388 --> 00:38:12,719
Right, uh,
797
00:38:12,724 --> 00:38:14,770
could you give us a moment, Carmen?
798
00:38:18,347 --> 00:38:21,698
Why are there hundreds
of teddy bears in our reception?
799
00:38:22,829 --> 00:38:24,391
I...
800
00:38:24,396 --> 00:38:27,199
Is that a legal euphemism
I don't understand?
801
00:38:27,204 --> 00:38:30,180
No. This...
802
00:38:30,185 --> 00:38:32,051
was sent to you.
803
00:38:32,056 --> 00:38:35,272
- It's a Marissa bear.
- Hug me.
804
00:38:35,277 --> 00:38:36,682
That doesn't even look like me.
805
00:38:36,687 --> 00:38:38,189
That would seem to be beside the point.
806
00:38:38,193 --> 00:38:39,624
What is going on, Marissa?
807
00:38:39,629 --> 00:38:42,008
Why are there hundreds
of bears in our office?
808
00:38:42,013 --> 00:38:43,013
Let me find out.
809
00:38:43,018 --> 00:38:45,598
Well, if you're finding out,
you must have some suspicion.
810
00:38:45,603 --> 00:38:46,904
So, what is it?
811
00:38:46,909 --> 00:38:48,875
I offered some advice to a client
812
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,778
who was buying a Build-A-Bear franchise.
813
00:38:50,783 --> 00:38:53,128
- My guess is this was a thank you.
- What client?
814
00:38:53,133 --> 00:38:54,826
You're not a lawyer.
815
00:38:54,831 --> 00:38:56,498
Why do you have clients?
816
00:39:00,115 --> 00:39:01,241
Oh, my God.
817
00:39:01,246 --> 00:39:03,613
This is about that Copy Coop court?
818
00:39:03,618 --> 00:39:05,825
I made sure it didn't interfere
with my responsibilities.
819
00:39:05,829 --> 00:39:07,300
Marissa, no.
820
00:39:07,305 --> 00:39:10,324
By participating in that
simulacrum of a courtroom,
821
00:39:10,329 --> 00:39:13,549
you exposed this firm to
malpractice, sanctions,
822
00:39:13,554 --> 00:39:16,730
- and God knows what.
- I'm just offering the judge some advice,
823
00:39:16,735 --> 00:39:18,316
and helping him with
his copyright office.
824
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,969
If you wish to continue
your employment at this firm,
825
00:39:20,974 --> 00:39:22,674
you will never do anything
like that again.
826
00:39:22,679 --> 00:39:23,776
- Do you understand?
- But it's...
827
00:39:23,780 --> 00:39:25,777
No. No buts.
828
00:39:25,782 --> 00:39:27,740
Do you understand?
829
00:39:29,287 --> 00:39:30,332
I do.
830
00:39:31,594 --> 00:39:34,453
Diane, your husband
and the FBI are here.
831
00:39:34,458 --> 00:39:35,802
Oh, no.
832
00:39:35,807 --> 00:39:37,347
Don't put them in the conference room.
833
00:39:37,352 --> 00:39:39,036
I... Okay.
834
00:39:39,041 --> 00:39:41,478
I think I might be a little late.
835
00:39:49,773 --> 00:39:51,161
Do we all get one?
836
00:39:51,166 --> 00:39:52,693
Or just clients?
837
00:39:56,519 --> 00:39:57,819
Wow.
838
00:39:57,824 --> 00:40:01,519
There's that, uh, calming,
unnerving quiet.
839
00:40:05,810 --> 00:40:07,024
- Hello.
- Hi
840
00:40:07,029 --> 00:40:09,287
I have agreed to a ten-minute interview.
841
00:40:09,292 --> 00:40:11,411
Mr. McVeigh has to get back to work.
842
00:40:11,416 --> 00:40:12,417
Yes. Yes, I know.
843
00:40:12,422 --> 00:40:14,452
And he's been a good
boy, not saying a thing.
844
00:40:14,457 --> 00:40:15,459
He's not a boy.
845
00:40:15,464 --> 00:40:18,006
No, he's not, your boy, Bill.
846
00:40:18,924 --> 00:40:20,442
Okay. Let's start.
847
00:40:20,447 --> 00:40:24,071
Just to be formal, Kurt, I'm
Agent Starkey with the FBI.
848
00:40:25,300 --> 00:40:28,211
We understand. We don't need
the musical introduction.
849
00:40:28,216 --> 00:40:31,239
Okay. Um... So, Kurt.
850
00:40:31,244 --> 00:40:33,842
Those friends or your colleagues
851
00:40:33,847 --> 00:40:35,654
or whatever they are
to you, or were to you,
852
00:40:35,658 --> 00:40:38,072
probably have little
or no criminal liability
853
00:40:38,077 --> 00:40:39,831
for January 6.
854
00:40:39,836 --> 00:40:42,655
My concern isn't with their past.
855
00:40:42,660 --> 00:40:44,427
It's what they might do in the future.
856
00:40:44,432 --> 00:40:45,680
He has no knowledge of that.
857
00:40:45,685 --> 00:40:48,318
Well, now that they've gotten
away with, say, trespassing,
858
00:40:48,323 --> 00:40:51,756
or smearing their feces on
the floor of the rotunda,
859
00:40:51,761 --> 00:40:53,845
they're emboldened to violence,
860
00:40:53,850 --> 00:40:56,156
to bombs, to hostage taking.
861
00:41:00,117 --> 00:41:02,506
Does Kurt have a question?
862
00:41:02,511 --> 00:41:04,956
- No, but I do.
- Oh. Pray, ask.
863
00:41:04,961 --> 00:41:06,218
Why do you think that?
864
00:41:06,223 --> 00:41:08,076
Why do I think they're emboldened?
865
00:41:08,081 --> 00:41:09,339
Well, I have my reasons.
866
00:41:09,344 --> 00:41:11,602
And if you tell me who they are,
867
00:41:11,607 --> 00:41:15,545
I will know and then, if
need be, I can stop them.
868
00:41:15,550 --> 00:41:18,312
My client has no knowledge
of anyone plotting anything.
869
00:41:18,317 --> 00:41:20,372
Well, that does not square
870
00:41:20,377 --> 00:41:23,048
with this Dylan Pike statement.
871
00:41:23,053 --> 00:41:26,264
"Kurt McVeigh not only
trained me in firearms,
872
00:41:26,269 --> 00:41:29,433
he also laid out the strategy
for entering and occupying
873
00:41:29,438 --> 00:41:31,483
the U.S. Capitol".
874
00:41:39,448 --> 00:41:41,327
Was that a comment?
875
00:41:41,332 --> 00:41:43,155
No. I have a comment.
876
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,076
Oh, come on. Bullshit.
877
00:41:54,780 --> 00:41:56,299
Wow.
878
00:41:56,304 --> 00:41:58,910
I'm surprised Mr. Pike
didn't accuse Kurt
879
00:41:58,915 --> 00:42:00,590
of being responsible for 9/11.
880
00:42:00,595 --> 00:42:02,392
Certainly you have a
better joke than that.
881
00:42:02,397 --> 00:42:04,742
No. This isn't a joke to me.
882
00:42:04,747 --> 00:42:07,571
Dylan Pike will say anything
to reduce his sentence.
883
00:42:07,576 --> 00:42:10,530
I do consider his statement
with some skepticism.
884
00:42:10,535 --> 00:42:14,073
And the only way to get to
the truth is with a grand jury.
885
00:42:14,078 --> 00:42:18,408
Uh, a subpoena has a tendency
to sharpen the senses.
886
00:42:18,413 --> 00:42:19,988
Odd you don't have a
musical cue for that.
887
00:42:19,992 --> 00:42:22,150
Hold on.
888
00:42:22,155 --> 00:42:24,419
Oops. That's not right.
889
00:42:25,550 --> 00:42:27,939
I can always subpoena you, Kurt.
890
00:42:36,018 --> 00:42:38,676
- He's a rapist.
- An accused rapist.
891
00:42:38,681 --> 00:42:41,200
God, I'm amazed I have to say
this in a room full of lawyers.
892
00:42:41,205 --> 00:42:43,683
Since when are we representing
people like Wolfe-Coleman?
893
00:42:43,687 --> 00:42:45,061
He's the next Jeffrey Epstein.
894
00:42:45,066 --> 00:42:46,611
- Did you approve this, Liz?
- No.
895
00:42:46,615 --> 00:42:48,960
This is the first that
I am hearing of this.
896
00:42:48,965 --> 00:42:51,615
- So it was Diane. Diane approved this.
- No. I...
897
00:42:51,620 --> 00:42:52,620
Well, I don't know.
898
00:42:52,625 --> 00:42:55,314
I have clients who will
flee when they find out
899
00:42:55,319 --> 00:42:57,177
we represent this rapist.
900
00:42:57,182 --> 00:42:59,710
Oh, you mean like the
Women's Coalition? Big loss.
901
00:42:59,715 --> 00:43:01,102
I know, the teddy bears.
902
00:43:01,107 --> 00:43:02,118
- I'm working on it.
- No, no, no.
903
00:43:02,122 --> 00:43:04,855
Did you approve us representing
Craig Wolfe-Coleman?
904
00:43:04,860 --> 00:43:06,717
No. Why?
905
00:43:06,722 --> 00:43:08,557
- Do we represent him?
- Apparently, we do.
906
00:43:08,562 --> 00:43:10,430
And we're-we're just trying
to get to the bottom of it.
907
00:43:10,434 --> 00:43:11,983
Without the other name partner?
908
00:43:11,988 --> 00:43:13,767
That's why we asked you in.
909
00:43:13,772 --> 00:43:15,060
Well, this isn't me.
910
00:43:15,065 --> 00:43:16,366
I mean, was he here?
911
00:43:16,371 --> 00:43:18,672
- Hi. Maybe I can help.
- David.
912
00:43:18,677 --> 00:43:20,052
What's going on?
913
00:43:20,057 --> 00:43:22,167
Uh, one of the associates,
the new one...
914
00:43:22,172 --> 00:43:24,051
- Marissa?
- No, the real one.
915
00:43:24,056 --> 00:43:25,375
- Carmen?
- Right.
916
00:43:25,380 --> 00:43:27,955
She pulled in Wolfe-Coleman as a client.
917
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:29,592
- Carmen?
- Why?
918
00:43:29,597 --> 00:43:31,498
Because... Wait, why don't I go upstairs
919
00:43:31,503 --> 00:43:33,178
and get your last quarterly report.
920
00:43:33,183 --> 00:43:34,358
Oh, come on, David.
921
00:43:34,363 --> 00:43:36,273
If Gavin Firth wants to
talk to us about money,
922
00:43:36,278 --> 00:43:37,684
he should discuss it with the partners.
923
00:43:37,688 --> 00:43:40,098
Actually, Gavin was
called back to London.
924
00:43:40,103 --> 00:43:41,360
I'm the new Gavin.
925
00:43:41,365 --> 00:43:45,451
STR Laurie made me your new boss.
926
00:43:45,456 --> 00:43:46,931
Hi.
927
00:43:46,936 --> 00:43:48,598
And this is what I have to say.
928
00:43:48,603 --> 00:43:51,618
More of you should be out
there digging up new clients
929
00:43:51,623 --> 00:43:53,041
like this new Carmen girl.
930
00:43:53,046 --> 00:43:54,621
Two months out of law school,
931
00:43:54,626 --> 00:43:57,345
and she's got our top two clients.
932
00:43:57,350 --> 00:43:59,165
Think about it.
933
00:44:03,039 --> 00:44:05,520
Can I talk to you for a second?
934
00:44:07,826 --> 00:44:09,649
That's bad.
935
00:44:09,654 --> 00:44:11,782
- David as our boss.
- Yeah.
936
00:44:11,787 --> 00:44:14,872
Yeah, but, I... you know,
I have a worse worry.
937
00:44:14,877 --> 00:44:16,421
Okay?
938
00:44:16,426 --> 00:44:18,641
We were griping about a new client,
939
00:44:18,646 --> 00:44:21,444
and two minutes later,
David Lee comes running down
940
00:44:21,449 --> 00:44:23,054
the stairs to talk to us.
941
00:44:23,059 --> 00:44:25,104
That's quite a coincidence.
942
00:44:26,932 --> 00:44:28,494
You think he bugged your office?
943
00:44:28,499 --> 00:44:30,736
I don't know. You know
him better than I do.
944
00:44:30,741 --> 00:44:31,742
Would he do something like that?
945
00:44:31,746 --> 00:44:33,548
- Oh, yeah.
- Great.
946
00:44:34,349 --> 00:44:35,414
So what do we do?
947
00:44:35,419 --> 00:44:37,447
Have Jay look for bugs.
948
00:44:37,452 --> 00:44:39,971
At night, when we can
hide it from David.
949
00:44:39,976 --> 00:44:41,307
God.
950
00:44:41,312 --> 00:44:43,509
If we actually spent
this much time lawyering,
951
00:44:43,514 --> 00:44:46,599
we'd be Supreme Court justices by now.
952
00:44:46,604 --> 00:44:48,919
Oh, wait. What is, what is going on
953
00:44:48,924 --> 00:44:50,948
with all the teddy bears
in the conference room?
954
00:44:50,953 --> 00:44:53,469
It's a long story.
955
00:44:53,937 --> 00:44:56,013
If it's actually prejudicial,
than even telling me
956
00:44:56,018 --> 00:44:57,280
what it is will prejudice me.
957
00:44:57,285 --> 00:44:59,438
But I don't think it is
prejudicial. All I wanted...
958
00:44:59,443 --> 00:45:02,206
No. No. You say another word
and I'll judge against you.
959
00:45:02,211 --> 00:45:04,121
Here's what I'll allow you.
960
00:45:04,126 --> 00:45:07,006
Four words to explain
why it's not prejudicial.
961
00:45:07,011 --> 00:45:09,087
You go over that, I'll
rule for the other side.
962
00:45:09,092 --> 00:45:11,450
- Your Honor...
- Hey! There's two.
963
00:45:11,455 --> 00:45:12,830
Can I have those two back?
964
00:45:12,835 --> 00:45:14,314
No, but you now have six.
965
00:45:15,415 --> 00:45:18,283
Patent claim...
966
00:45:18,288 --> 00:45:21,025
- requires background.
- Two more words.
967
00:45:21,030 --> 00:45:23,044
Of prior work.
968
00:45:23,049 --> 00:45:24,882
Nope. Three words.
Ruling for the defendant.
969
00:45:24,886 --> 00:45:27,466
Your patent is approved,
sir. Go with God.
970
00:45:27,471 --> 00:45:29,307
Wait. Shake hands. Look
at each other and say,
971
00:45:29,312 --> 00:45:31,296
"I respect and I love you".
972
00:45:31,301 --> 00:45:33,603
No, no, no, no, no.
973
00:45:33,608 --> 00:45:35,300
That's not how we do things here, sir.
974
00:45:35,305 --> 00:45:38,782
Due to the Bad Loser
Law of last Wednesday,
975
00:45:38,787 --> 00:45:40,305
the ruling is reversed.
976
00:45:40,310 --> 00:45:41,611
Judgement for the plaintiff.
977
00:45:41,616 --> 00:45:44,135
- Yes!
- Don't you dare celebrate, sir.
978
00:45:44,140 --> 00:45:46,441
Thank you, Your Honor.
979
00:45:46,446 --> 00:45:48,065
There's my law clerk.
980
00:45:48,070 --> 00:45:50,294
Recess for ten minutes.
981
00:45:54,411 --> 00:45:56,544
I can't do it. I'm sorry.
982
00:45:58,533 --> 00:45:59,703
Why not?
983
00:45:59,708 --> 00:46:00,752
My boss said no.
984
00:46:02,375 --> 00:46:04,272
You don't need me anyway.
985
00:46:04,277 --> 00:46:06,410
Let me connect you with a real lawyer.
986
00:46:07,716 --> 00:46:09,160
Marissa, listen to me.
987
00:46:09,165 --> 00:46:11,597
I asked you for a reason.
988
00:46:11,602 --> 00:46:14,605
You know just enough not to
crush what I'm doing here.
989
00:46:16,364 --> 00:46:19,018
A real lawyer will look
for reasons why not.
990
00:46:20,263 --> 00:46:23,179
I need someone to look for reasons why.
991
00:46:23,962 --> 00:46:25,959
I can find you someone.
992
00:46:25,964 --> 00:46:27,662
I don't want someone.
993
00:46:38,042 --> 00:46:40,044
All rise.
994
00:46:49,422 --> 00:46:51,332
Ms. Reddick,
995
00:46:51,337 --> 00:46:54,553
you made an original
and compelling argument.
996
00:46:54,558 --> 00:46:56,686
And Your Honor, Judge Cain,
997
00:46:56,691 --> 00:46:59,445
- I always thought you got a raw deal...
- Your Honor.
998
00:46:59,450 --> 00:47:02,256
You don't want to
interrupt me, Counselor.
999
00:47:02,261 --> 00:47:04,994
I have to admit, I am baffled.
1000
00:47:04,999 --> 00:47:08,711
How can it be that Chumhum
gets away with something
1001
00:47:08,716 --> 00:47:11,396
any newspaper would go under for doing?
1002
00:47:11,401 --> 00:47:14,486
Unfortunately...
1003
00:47:14,491 --> 00:47:16,401
the law is the law.
1004
00:47:16,406 --> 00:47:18,477
It may be unfair,
1005
00:47:18,482 --> 00:47:20,784
but it is constitutional.
1006
00:47:20,789 --> 00:47:23,408
Section 230 stands,
1007
00:47:23,413 --> 00:47:26,193
and the statute ties my hands.
1008
00:47:37,514 --> 00:47:39,342
Mr. Cord.
1009
00:47:40,926 --> 00:47:43,733
Ace or Queen?
1010
00:47:43,738 --> 00:47:44,834
Queen.
1011
00:47:44,839 --> 00:47:46,387
Good.
1012
00:47:46,392 --> 00:47:49,477
I just stopped by to thank you
for your efforts, Ms. Reddick.
1013
00:47:49,482 --> 00:47:52,955
And to tell you that I'm quite
prepared to bankroll an appeal.
1014
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:57,146
Uh, well, we are happy to
handle the appeal for you
1015
00:47:57,151 --> 00:47:59,309
if that's what you
would like, but, um...
1016
00:47:59,314 --> 00:48:02,268
Uh, you should know that
it is probably a long shot.
1017
00:48:02,273 --> 00:48:04,623
Long shots have come
through for me before.
1018
00:48:04,628 --> 00:48:06,973
You know, I have wicked
arthritis in my hands,
1019
00:48:06,978 --> 00:48:08,453
and my doctor told me,
1020
00:48:08,458 --> 00:48:10,660
"Well, just squeeze a
rubber ball all day",
1021
00:48:10,665 --> 00:48:13,458
but instead, I picked
up a book of magic.
1022
00:48:14,612 --> 00:48:17,767
Now, I've identified
27 potential lawsuits
1023
00:48:17,772 --> 00:48:19,972
that I think might be
viable. They're tricky,
1024
00:48:19,977 --> 00:48:22,409
but, uh, they've got potential.
1025
00:48:22,414 --> 00:48:24,077
And if you win,
1026
00:48:24,082 --> 00:48:26,514
the world just becomes
a little more bearable.
1027
00:48:26,519 --> 00:48:28,821
- Hmm.
- And, uh...
1028
00:48:28,826 --> 00:48:31,302
we are the firm that you want?
1029
00:48:31,307 --> 00:48:33,130
Oh, most definitely.
1030
00:48:33,135 --> 00:48:34,658
Talk to you soon.
1031
00:48:35,441 --> 00:48:37,830
Carmen, can I have a second?
1032
00:48:37,835 --> 00:48:38,905
Yes.
1033
00:48:38,910 --> 00:48:40,869
No, I'll go. It's my turn.
1034
00:48:44,973 --> 00:48:47,622
You're representing Craig Wolfe-Coleman?
1035
00:48:47,627 --> 00:48:49,494
I think I am.
1036
00:48:49,499 --> 00:48:51,322
Did you pursue him?
1037
00:48:51,327 --> 00:48:52,763
Of course not.
1038
00:48:53,590 --> 00:48:55,152
You know what he's accused of?
1039
00:48:55,157 --> 00:48:58,242
Yes, I looked over the case last night.
1040
00:48:58,247 --> 00:48:59,983
And it doesn't bother you?
1041
00:48:59,988 --> 00:49:01,593
I...
1042
00:49:01,598 --> 00:49:03,813
Uh, I don't... I don't understand.
1043
00:49:03,818 --> 00:49:05,466
Should it?
1044
00:49:05,471 --> 00:49:09,427
Carmen, is-is-is there anyone
that you would not represent?
1045
00:49:09,432 --> 00:49:11,690
Wouldn't?
1046
00:49:11,695 --> 00:49:13,692
I... I don't understand,
1047
00:49:13,697 --> 00:49:17,074
is... is there someone
you don't want me to represent?
1048
00:49:17,079 --> 00:49:19,089
Okay. Uh, no. I'm just...
1049
00:49:19,094 --> 00:49:22,396
I'm just trying to get
a sense of who you are.
1050
00:49:22,401 --> 00:49:24,834
Is there anyone?
1051
00:49:24,839 --> 00:49:26,523
Someone?
1052
00:49:27,916 --> 00:49:29,403
Alan Dershowitz.
1053
00:49:29,408 --> 00:49:31,492
Why?
1054
00:49:31,497 --> 00:49:33,407
I don't know.
1055
00:49:33,412 --> 00:49:34,762
I don't like him.
1056
00:49:36,894 --> 00:49:38,804
Okay, um...
1057
00:49:38,809 --> 00:49:40,675
All right, here's what I want.
1058
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:42,286
As your mentor,
1059
00:49:42,291 --> 00:49:45,550
I'm going to help you with
the Craig Wolfe-Coleman case.
1060
00:49:45,555 --> 00:49:48,553
- Thank you.
- And I want us to keep talking
1061
00:49:48,558 --> 00:49:49,728
about your career path.
1062
00:49:49,733 --> 00:49:51,474
Are-are you worried about me?
1063
00:49:52,954 --> 00:49:55,783
I don't know what I am about you.
1064
00:50:03,921 --> 00:50:05,526
Mr. Wackner.
1065
00:50:05,531 --> 00:50:06,993
What a surprise.
1066
00:50:06,998 --> 00:50:08,783
Ms. Lockhart. Hi.
1067
00:50:10,032 --> 00:50:12,185
I love your decor.
1068
00:50:13,888 --> 00:50:16,176
I'm always surprised,
people come in my courtroom,
1069
00:50:16,181 --> 00:50:17,812
and they're shocked.
1070
00:50:17,817 --> 00:50:19,958
They think, "Oh, my God,
it's so informal".
1071
00:50:19,963 --> 00:50:21,991
- What can I do for you, sir?
- I want to hire you.
1072
00:50:21,996 --> 00:50:24,515
- You want to...
- Hire you, your firm.
1073
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,374
I did my research, and I'm
willing to pay your retainer.
1074
00:50:27,379 --> 00:50:28,767
- Are you being sued?
- No.
1075
00:50:28,772 --> 00:50:30,247
I'm creating a courtroom,
1076
00:50:30,252 --> 00:50:33,150
and I need to know what
is the best way to do it.
1077
00:50:33,155 --> 00:50:34,455
Well, we don't do that, sir.
1078
00:50:34,460 --> 00:50:36,527
- But you do try to make money?
- We do.
1079
00:50:36,532 --> 00:50:38,429
I'm willing to pay money.
1080
00:50:38,434 --> 00:50:40,126
I looked online.
1081
00:50:40,131 --> 00:50:43,142
One of your services
is consultation on legal issues.
1082
00:50:43,147 --> 00:50:46,398
Your website is incredibly
insistent on that.
1083
00:50:46,403 --> 00:50:49,309
Well, I need consultation,
and I'm willing to pay.
1084
00:50:49,314 --> 00:50:51,413
Mr. Wackner, I...
1085
00:50:53,014 --> 00:50:55,228
I don't like what you're doing.
1086
00:50:55,233 --> 00:50:56,577
I know.
1087
00:50:56,582 --> 00:50:59,076
And I'm not trying to convince you.
1088
00:50:59,081 --> 00:51:01,495
I'm using your skepticism,
1089
00:51:01,500 --> 00:51:04,281
and the incentive of capitalism,
1090
00:51:04,286 --> 00:51:06,344
uh...
1091
00:51:06,349 --> 00:51:09,939
to acquire your services to, um...
1092
00:51:09,944 --> 00:51:13,643
perfect my little clubhouse of the law.
1093
00:51:14,470 --> 00:51:16,141
I want you,
1094
00:51:16,146 --> 00:51:18,666
and I want Marissa to help me.
1095
00:51:21,303 --> 00:51:23,448
Our retainer is not, uh,
1096
00:51:23,453 --> 00:51:24,836
it-it's sizable.
1097
00:51:24,841 --> 00:51:25,868
Well, I got money.
1098
00:51:25,873 --> 00:51:27,782
Why are you doing this, sir?
1099
00:51:27,787 --> 00:51:29,306
It's not gonna benefit you.
1100
00:51:29,311 --> 00:51:31,961
It's odd.
1101
00:51:31,966 --> 00:51:35,138
I'm gonna talk for a while, so...
1102
00:51:35,143 --> 00:51:37,140
just let me.
1103
00:51:37,145 --> 00:51:39,751
Since the '80s,
1104
00:51:39,756 --> 00:51:41,896
people have been discussing everything
1105
00:51:41,901 --> 00:51:46,945
as if it's built on what can
benefit or disadvantage.
1106
00:51:46,950 --> 00:51:49,804
But do you remember a time before that?
1107
00:51:49,809 --> 00:51:53,330
People used to want to write
the great American novel
1108
00:51:53,335 --> 00:51:54,722
and not sell out.
1109
00:51:54,727 --> 00:51:57,334
Build a beach sculpture.
1110
00:51:57,339 --> 00:51:59,989
Fly to Ecuador, help people.
1111
00:51:59,994 --> 00:52:02,905
Can you remember the last time
1112
00:52:02,910 --> 00:52:06,082
you heard those words,
1113
00:52:06,087 --> 00:52:08,693
"Peace Corps"?
1114
00:52:08,698 --> 00:52:10,695
I do.
1115
00:52:10,700 --> 00:52:14,568
I want a new Peace Corps.
1116
00:52:14,573 --> 00:52:16,793
For America.
1117
00:52:22,581 --> 00:52:27,978
I'll have downstairs draw up
a... a retainer agreement.
1118
00:52:29,327 --> 00:52:31,150
Good.
1119
00:52:31,155 --> 00:52:32,412
Can I take a bear?
1120
00:52:32,417 --> 00:52:34,371
Oh, please do.
1121
00:52:34,376 --> 00:52:37,087
Um, take two.
1122
00:52:38,441 --> 00:52:40,960
- Thank you very much.
- Hmm.
1123
00:52:40,965 --> 00:52:43,707
Bye-bye.
1124
00:52:45,100 --> 00:52:46,710
Hold the door.
1125
00:52:49,217 --> 00:52:51,045
Here, take one.
1126
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,000
