Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:43,634 --> 00:00:45,400
Who's that? He looks familiar.
2
00:00:45,485 --> 00:00:47,005
That is Armie Hammer.
3
00:00:47,090 --> 00:00:48,955
- He starred in Lone Ranger.
- How old is he?
4
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,218
No, not the old one.
5
00:00:50,303 --> 00:00:52,815
This was a remake
just a few years ago.
6
00:00:52,900 --> 00:00:55,145
- What was his issue?
- Cannibalism, allegedly.
7
00:00:55,229 --> 00:00:57,103
Bite play, stuff like that.
8
00:00:57,187 --> 00:00:58,583
So how was he canceled?
9
00:00:58,667 --> 00:01:01,542
He got dropped from movies,
from the stage.
10
00:01:01,626 --> 00:01:03,892
- His agents dropped him.
- What are we talking about?
11
00:01:03,977 --> 00:01:05,658
- You're late.
- Sorry. I had paperwork.
12
00:01:05,743 --> 00:01:08,167
Well, you just have to listen
and catch up, won't you?
13
00:01:08,252 --> 00:01:09,454
God, are you in a bad mood?
14
00:01:09,539 --> 00:01:11,689
Nope, I just know you're
gonna disagree with me.
15
00:01:12,256 --> 00:01:14,549
- Oh, no. Are you serious?
- What?
16
00:01:14,634 --> 00:01:15,899
You're gonna clear these guys?
17
00:01:16,079 --> 00:01:17,612
No, they're-they're
not all just guys.
18
00:01:17,696 --> 00:01:18,700
Really? Where are the women?
19
00:01:18,784 --> 00:01:20,441
I got one right here.
20
00:01:20,525 --> 00:01:23,103
I spotted one...
Yep, Henrietta Michaels,
21
00:01:23,188 --> 00:01:25,359
former Professor
at Northwestern.
22
00:01:25,444 --> 00:01:27,006
She was fired for using a word
23
00:01:27,098 --> 00:01:30,077
which was misunderstood
by her students.
24
00:01:30,162 --> 00:01:33,148
She wants
to defend herself on TV
25
00:01:33,233 --> 00:01:34,585
so she can get her job back.
26
00:01:34,669 --> 00:01:37,022
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That sounds like good TV.
27
00:01:37,106 --> 00:01:39,590
So four dozen guys accused
of rape and harassment,
28
00:01:39,674 --> 00:01:41,723
- and one woman.
- Oh, come on, Marissa.
29
00:01:41,807 --> 00:01:43,028
People are getting canceled
without a trial,
30
00:01:43,112 --> 00:01:44,465
no evidence
presented against them.
31
00:01:44,549 --> 00:01:45,553
- Because they did it.
- Maybe they did,
32
00:01:45,637 --> 00:01:46,728
maybe they didn't.
33
00:01:46,812 --> 00:01:48,208
Or maybe it's more nuanced.
34
00:01:48,292 --> 00:01:50,164
Oh, my God, you sound
like that Canadian guy.
35
00:01:50,249 --> 00:01:51,883
The one who wrote
the book about that thing.
36
00:01:51,968 --> 00:01:53,604
If I knew what that meant,
maybe I'd be offended.
37
00:01:53,688 --> 00:01:55,671
You want to play
cancel-culture cop.
38
00:01:55,756 --> 00:01:57,565
No. I want to play judge.
39
00:01:57,649 --> 00:01:59,306
- Oh, my God.
- Think about it.
40
00:01:59,390 --> 00:02:01,749
There are lots of reasons these
accusations never go to trial.
41
00:02:01,833 --> 00:02:04,640
The victims finally get to
accuse the victimizer
42
00:02:04,725 --> 00:02:05,684
face to face.
43
00:02:05,769 --> 00:02:07,923
- What if they don't want to?
- That's their choice.
44
00:02:08,007 --> 00:02:10,055
And the victimizer
gets the court to himself?
45
00:02:10,139 --> 00:02:12,101
To say whatever
bullshit he wants.
46
00:02:12,185 --> 00:02:13,537
This is a bad joke.
47
00:02:13,621 --> 00:02:15,104
- You're undercutting MeToo.
- No, no,
48
00:02:15,188 --> 00:02:17,672
- no, we're giving MeToo teeth.
- That's right.
49
00:02:17,756 --> 00:02:20,414
If it relies on mob rule,
it'll exhaust itself.
50
00:02:20,498 --> 00:02:22,242
Okay. All right.
Mom, Dad, please.
51
00:02:22,326 --> 00:02:24,679
I hate when you fight.
Let's get back to work
52
00:02:24,763 --> 00:02:26,202
Who's up first?
53
00:02:26,286 --> 00:02:29,336
- Who's this guy?
- Oh, uh. Joey Battle.
54
00:02:29,420 --> 00:02:31,816
- Stand-up.
- Oh, God, you mean Louis C.K. Two.
55
00:02:31,900 --> 00:02:33,122
- What'd he do?
- He masturbated
56
00:02:33,206 --> 00:02:36,169
in front of two women
in a green room.
57
00:02:36,253 --> 00:02:38,083
To be fair, he did ask
for permission first.
58
00:02:38,167 --> 00:02:40,303
Seriously? If he did,
he didn't wait for a "yes."
59
00:02:40,387 --> 00:02:41,870
But he did not assault anyone.
60
00:02:41,954 --> 00:02:44,786
Oh. Are we really setting
the bar that low?
61
00:02:44,870 --> 00:02:46,396
Let's compromise.
We'll do both.
62
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,791
- Both?
- Yeah, this guy and, uh, Marissa's idea.
63
00:02:49,875 --> 00:02:52,141
The academic, uh,
Henrietta what's-her-name.
64
00:02:52,225 --> 00:02:54,230
- Henrietta Michaels.
- That wasn't my idea.
65
00:02:54,314 --> 00:02:55,971
- When can we start?
- You really think
66
00:02:56,055 --> 00:02:57,712
- there's time to do both?
- We'll make the time.
67
00:02:57,796 --> 00:02:59,583
Let's just schedule it.
68
00:02:59,667 --> 00:03:01,277
That's my time, guys.
69
00:03:01,362 --> 00:03:03,634
Thank you very much.
70
00:03:07,284 --> 00:03:08,940
June, you were great.
71
00:03:09,024 --> 00:03:11,639
The drinks are watered down,
so I know you're not drunk.
72
00:03:11,723 --> 00:03:13,293
No. You're funny.
73
00:03:13,377 --> 00:03:15,300
It's just this club sucks.
74
00:03:15,814 --> 00:03:17,166
Is this about Joey Battle?
75
00:03:17,250 --> 00:03:18,907
How'd you know?
76
00:03:18,991 --> 00:03:21,301
Reporters are the only ones
who approach me nowadays.
77
00:03:21,385 --> 00:03:23,178
I'm not a reporter.
78
00:03:23,735 --> 00:03:26,131
The last time I spoke out
about Joey Battle,
79
00:03:26,215 --> 00:03:27,437
this happened to me.
80
00:03:27,521 --> 00:03:29,483
I mean, I was on my way
to a serious career,
81
00:03:29,567 --> 00:03:31,093
and that scumbag derailed me.
82
00:03:31,177 --> 00:03:33,922
Not just off the tracks,
like buried under them.
83
00:03:34,006 --> 00:03:36,316
By testifying,
you'd get the truth out.
84
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,752
Did you say "truth"?
85
00:03:37,836 --> 00:03:40,494
I thought we were talking
about a reality TV show.
86
00:03:40,578 --> 00:03:42,887
Millions of people could see it.
87
00:03:42,971 --> 00:03:45,150
I mean, I don't even know
the whole truth.
88
00:03:45,234 --> 00:03:47,588
When the story about Joey
was about to break,
89
00:03:47,672 --> 00:03:49,008
he reached out to me
on Facebook.
90
00:03:49,093 --> 00:03:50,101
And you know what he said?
91
00:03:50,186 --> 00:03:52,680
He said, "I'm sorry for shoving
you into a closet."
92
00:03:52,764 --> 00:03:54,072
He shoved you into a closet?
93
00:03:54,156 --> 00:03:56,205
No, with me, he just
jacked off into a plant.
94
00:03:56,289 --> 00:03:58,903
I can't help but think, though,
"who did he shove into a closet
95
00:03:58,987 --> 00:04:00,209
and what happened to her?"
96
00:04:00,293 --> 00:04:02,864
So you should
testify against him.
97
00:04:02,948 --> 00:04:05,083
- Bring that out.
- This is just another way for Battle
98
00:04:05,167 --> 00:04:07,172
to get his career back.
I'm not participating in that.
99
00:04:07,256 --> 00:04:08,609
What if it wasn't?
100
00:04:08,693 --> 00:04:11,307
What if he was actually
confronted with his crime?
101
00:04:11,391 --> 00:04:12,526
It'll never happen.
102
00:04:12,610 --> 00:04:14,615
People like Battle win.
103
00:04:14,699 --> 00:04:16,269
People like me lose.
104
00:04:16,353 --> 00:04:19,228
But, you know what?
This is my consolation prize.
105
00:04:19,312 --> 00:04:21,099
His Wikipedia page.
106
00:04:21,183 --> 00:04:23,580
He's no longer
the comedian saint.
107
00:04:23,664 --> 00:04:26,981
Now he's Mr. Masturbater
in the greenroom.
108
00:04:36,329 --> 00:04:37,638
Who's defending Battle?
109
00:04:37,722 --> 00:04:39,944
The comedian?
David is.
110
00:04:40,028 --> 00:04:41,772
David Cord.
Why?
111
00:04:41,856 --> 00:04:43,383
He's a lawyer.
112
00:04:43,467 --> 00:04:45,994
My guess is he wants to
make an issue of cancel culture.
113
00:04:46,078 --> 00:04:48,257
Then I want to prosecute him.
114
00:04:48,341 --> 00:04:49,476
- Really?
- Yeah.
115
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,086
I'm gonna rip him a new one.
116
00:04:51,170 --> 00:04:53,523
- David or the comedian?
- Both.
117
00:04:53,607 --> 00:04:55,264
Oh, that's the spirit.
118
00:04:55,348 --> 00:04:57,788
What about the other case...
The, uh, academic lady?
119
00:04:57,872 --> 00:05:00,269
That's different.
She shouldn't have been fired.
120
00:05:00,353 --> 00:05:02,663
No, you want to prosecute one,
you have to prosecute the other.
121
00:05:02,747 --> 00:05:05,448
- Why?
- Because I'm unpredictable.
122
00:05:05,532 --> 00:05:06,681
Haven't you heard?
123
00:05:06,766 --> 00:05:08,321
It's about cancel culture.
124
00:05:08,405 --> 00:05:11,324
- Have to explore all sides.
- I don't want to explore all sides.
125
00:05:11,408 --> 00:05:12,977
Well, this isn't about
what you want.
126
00:05:13,061 --> 00:05:15,116
Let's go into court.
127
00:05:15,673 --> 00:05:18,853
Nobody move! Get
down! Get down on the ground!
128
00:05:18,937 --> 00:05:21,464
Get down!
This party is a violation
129
00:05:21,548 --> 00:05:23,553
of COVID quarantine rules!
130
00:05:23,637 --> 00:05:25,300
Turn that fucking music off!
131
00:05:26,074 --> 00:05:27,688
Did you see that?
132
00:05:27,772 --> 00:05:29,951
Is something funny here?
133
00:05:30,035 --> 00:05:31,561
What the hell's so funny?
134
00:05:31,645 --> 00:05:34,042
- Nobody said anything.
- Come here!
135
00:05:34,126 --> 00:05:36,784
Ms. Farrow,
where was this taken?
136
00:05:36,868 --> 00:05:38,307
At a friend's house party.
137
00:05:38,391 --> 00:05:41,179
It was a great day
until somebody called the cops.
138
00:05:41,263 --> 00:05:43,834
And the cop that
arrived was, uh,
139
00:05:43,918 --> 00:05:45,488
Officer McFinley, yes?
140
00:05:45,572 --> 00:05:47,447
Yes.
141
00:05:47,531 --> 00:05:49,144
Get down. Get down over here!
142
00:05:49,228 --> 00:05:51,799
Ow! Hey, let me go.
143
00:05:51,883 --> 00:05:54,105
- I didn't do anything wrong!
- Get down!
144
00:05:54,189 --> 00:05:56,281
- Ow! Let me go.
- Get the fuck down!
145
00:05:56,365 --> 00:05:58,240
- Ow! Ow, you're hurting me.
- Stay down!
146
00:05:58,324 --> 00:06:01,286
- Ow!
- Get down! Stop resisting.
147
00:06:01,370 --> 00:06:03,114
Stop!
148
00:06:05,940 --> 00:06:07,603
No...
149
00:06:10,597 --> 00:06:12,303
What happened next?
150
00:06:13,382 --> 00:06:15,350
I ran to her.
151
00:06:16,995 --> 00:06:18,745
She wasn't breathing.
152
00:06:19,737 --> 00:06:21,872
When the paramedics arrived,
153
00:06:21,956 --> 00:06:23,750
she was dead.
154
00:06:24,568 --> 00:06:27,835
You know that Antoinette's
family is suing the Chicago PD
155
00:06:27,919 --> 00:06:29,271
for five million dollars?
156
00:06:29,355 --> 00:06:30,577
Yes.
157
00:06:30,661 --> 00:06:34,456
If it were up to me,
it'd be ten times that.
158
00:06:40,540 --> 00:06:41,631
Thank you, Miss Farrow.
159
00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:46,767
Miss Farrow, I'm-I'm so sorry
160
00:06:46,851 --> 00:06:49,384
for the loss of your friend.
161
00:06:50,028 --> 00:06:51,554
You were good friends,
weren't you?
162
00:06:51,638 --> 00:06:53,164
We were.
163
00:06:53,248 --> 00:06:55,515
So you knew she had a heart
condition? Tachycardia.
164
00:06:55,599 --> 00:06:57,604
- Can you tell us...
- Objection, Your Honor. That has
165
00:06:57,688 --> 00:06:59,475
- Objection. Under the eggsh...
- nothing to do with what we're...
166
00:06:59,559 --> 00:07:02,266
Wait, wait, wait, wait. You're
on the same side, you two.
167
00:07:03,607 --> 00:07:07,048
Your Honor, under the eggshell
doctrine, it is irrelevant
168
00:07:07,132 --> 00:07:08,702
whether Antoinette
had a heart condition.
169
00:07:08,786 --> 00:07:12,488
What does matter is that the
defendant caused the injury.
170
00:07:12,572 --> 00:07:14,403
Your Honor, we would argue
that the stun gun
171
00:07:14,487 --> 00:07:16,331
wasn't the true cause of death.
Her heart condition was.
172
00:07:16,416 --> 00:07:18,363
Okay, well, good for you two.
173
00:07:18,447 --> 00:07:20,453
You both got your statements
out to the jury.
174
00:07:20,537 --> 00:07:23,151
Overruled.
The defense may argue causation.
175
00:07:23,235 --> 00:07:25,240
- Please continue.
- Ms. Farrow,
176
00:07:25,324 --> 00:07:26,633
did Antoinette's heart condition
177
00:07:26,717 --> 00:07:29,244
mean she was supposed
to avoid overexertion?
178
00:07:29,328 --> 00:07:32,116
She had a heart arrhythmia,
but she was careful.
179
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,598
That cop put 50,000 volts
through her.
180
00:07:35,682 --> 00:07:36,773
Right, that cop.
181
00:07:36,857 --> 00:07:38,383
Let's talk about that cop.
182
00:07:38,467 --> 00:07:40,734
Ms. Farrow, this is your
Instagram profile, isn't it?
183
00:07:40,818 --> 00:07:42,039
- Object-Obj...
- Objection.
184
00:07:42,123 --> 00:07:43,606
Okay.
Give me a hint, Counselors.
185
00:07:43,690 --> 00:07:45,478
- Relevance. - This is inflammatory.
- Okay, okay.
186
00:07:45,562 --> 00:07:47,567
So, what is going on over there?
Do you need separate tables?
187
00:07:47,651 --> 00:07:49,656
- No, Your Honor. - Just objection.
- You must know what's coming,
188
00:07:49,740 --> 00:07:52,180
because I don't.
Overruled.
189
00:07:52,264 --> 00:07:55,575
On Instagram, you quote
these rap lyrics,
190
00:07:55,659 --> 00:07:58,099
"Fuck the cops like porn stars,
191
00:07:58,183 --> 00:08:00,475
keeping us caged behind bars."
192
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,459
Objection, Your Honor.
193
00:08:01,544 --> 00:08:02,763
It speaks to the witness' bias.
194
00:08:02,848 --> 00:08:04,193
- To quote rap lyrics?
- No.
195
00:08:04,363 --> 00:08:06,586
No. That shows
the counselor's racism.
196
00:08:06,670 --> 00:08:09,066
Oh, that's right, everything
you don't like is racist.
197
00:08:09,150 --> 00:08:11,416
The Supreme Court ruled
that rap lyrics can be
198
00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:14,115
- considered criminal evidence.
- No, they merely declined to reverse.
199
00:08:14,199 --> 00:08:15,856
And you're going
one step further
200
00:08:15,940 --> 00:08:17,422
to damn someone
who quotes the lyrics.
201
00:08:17,506 --> 00:08:20,121
- I'm not damning.
- Okay, I'm-I'm gonna talk now.
202
00:08:20,205 --> 00:08:22,689
I don't like this like this line
of reasoning, Counselor.
203
00:08:22,773 --> 00:08:26,562
I have quoted Johnny Cash's song
about shooting a man in Reno.
204
00:08:26,646 --> 00:08:28,825
Does that go to my character?
I hope not.
205
00:08:28,909 --> 00:08:32,400
Sustained.
Let's move on.
206
00:08:32,957 --> 00:08:35,615
Professors expect students
to be respectful.
207
00:08:35,699 --> 00:08:37,355
I don't think
it's too much to expect
208
00:08:37,439 --> 00:08:40,364
that our teachers
be respectful in return.
209
00:08:40,878 --> 00:08:42,491
Okay, got it.
210
00:08:42,575 --> 00:08:44,101
And that irritated you?
211
00:08:44,185 --> 00:08:45,755
It more than irritated me.
212
00:08:45,839 --> 00:08:47,322
I-I found the word offensive.
213
00:08:47,406 --> 00:08:50,543
So you decided to call Professor
Henrietta Michaels out?
214
00:08:50,627 --> 00:08:52,806
Well, I just reported it.
215
00:08:52,890 --> 00:08:54,372
I mean, the word
is self-explanatory.
216
00:08:54,456 --> 00:08:57,245
- It's a triggering word.
- Here's the text of your tweet.
217
00:08:57,329 --> 00:08:59,160
Can you read it for His Honor?
218
00:08:59,244 --> 00:09:02,467
"How does Professor Michaels
think it's okay in 2021
219
00:09:02,551 --> 00:09:04,818
to use a word so similar
to the N-word?"
220
00:09:04,902 --> 00:09:07,429
So, at this point, I think we
need to talk about the word
221
00:09:07,513 --> 00:09:09,605
itself and how we're gonna
continue to refer to it.
222
00:09:09,689 --> 00:09:12,086
Our handy graphics team
at Copy Coop...
223
00:09:12,170 --> 00:09:14,915
20% off on all large orders
until Friday...
224
00:09:14,999 --> 00:09:17,924
Has put the word on our display.
225
00:09:18,698 --> 00:09:19,876
That's the word.
226
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,530
I feel like a little duck
should come down.
227
00:09:21,614 --> 00:09:23,374
"You say the magic word,
you collect a $100."
228
00:09:24,573 --> 00:09:26,927
Sorry, millennials,
you can look that one up.
229
00:09:27,011 --> 00:09:28,860
Anyway, from now on,
230
00:09:28,945 --> 00:09:33,455
I think we should refer
to the word as...
231
00:09:33,539 --> 00:09:35,283
um...
232
00:09:35,367 --> 00:09:36,937
I don't know.
Thoughts?
233
00:09:37,021 --> 00:09:39,113
N-word-ly?
234
00:09:39,197 --> 00:09:41,028
- Inelegant, but sure.
- Uh, Your Honor,
235
00:09:41,112 --> 00:09:44,858
defense feels that
any euphemism for the word
236
00:09:44,942 --> 00:09:47,251
in question, uh,
biases the court against
237
00:09:47,335 --> 00:09:50,733
my client's honest use
of said word.
238
00:09:50,817 --> 00:09:53,649
"Said word?" Seriously?
239
00:09:53,733 --> 00:09:57,218
- It's powdered-wig time, my friend.
- Oh, no. Your Honor, really?
240
00:09:57,302 --> 00:10:00,090
No obtuse use
of language or Latin.
241
00:10:00,174 --> 00:10:02,403
You know the penalty.
242
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,355
Thank you, Dean.
243
00:10:04,439 --> 00:10:06,357
Very becoming.
Since I am
244
00:10:06,441 --> 00:10:09,099
the court, I will swear to you,
245
00:10:09,183 --> 00:10:11,232
I will not be biased
by said word.
246
00:10:11,316 --> 00:10:13,756
"N-word-ly" it is.
247
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,540
Go ahead, Prosecutor.
248
00:10:15,624 --> 00:10:18,021
And you found
her use of that word...
249
00:10:18,105 --> 00:10:21,721
- Notice I didn't say "said word."
- Always in awe, Counselor.
250
00:10:21,805 --> 00:10:22,939
You found it offensive?
251
00:10:23,023 --> 00:10:24,854
Yes.
252
00:10:24,938 --> 00:10:26,943
Good.
I think that's it.
253
00:10:27,027 --> 00:10:28,423
No more questions.
254
00:10:28,507 --> 00:10:30,730
- De lege lata. That was a joke.
- I don't care.
255
00:10:30,814 --> 00:10:32,340
- That's why we have two. Dean.
- No, no, no,
256
00:10:32,424 --> 00:10:35,125
- that was a joke, I... No.
- Come on, Marissa.
257
00:10:35,209 --> 00:10:37,258
Now, Camille,
you are aware the word...
258
00:10:37,342 --> 00:10:39,332
- What is it?
- N-word-ly.
259
00:10:39,417 --> 00:10:42,437
N-word-ly... you are aware
that it simply means "stingy"?
260
00:10:42,521 --> 00:10:44,091
- Right?
- Yes.
261
00:10:44,175 --> 00:10:45,919
And that it comes from
an Old Norse word,
262
00:10:46,003 --> 00:10:48,008
"nigla," meaning "poor"
263
00:10:48,092 --> 00:10:52,229
- and it has the same root as the word "niggle"?
- Yes.
264
00:10:52,313 --> 00:10:54,971
So, if Professor Michaels
had said the word "niggle"
265
00:10:55,055 --> 00:10:57,452
- would you have felt offended?
- No.
266
00:10:57,536 --> 00:10:59,541
- Why not?
- It wouldn't sound like
267
00:10:59,625 --> 00:11:01,761
- the "N-word."
- So it doesn't matter
268
00:11:01,845 --> 00:11:03,501
that the word in question
269
00:11:03,585 --> 00:11:05,634
has no racial connotations
whatsoever?
270
00:11:05,718 --> 00:11:07,941
Given how it
sounds, the word definitely
271
00:11:08,025 --> 00:11:09,551
has racial connotations,
272
00:11:09,635 --> 00:11:11,161
whether you're prepared
to acknowledge that or not.
273
00:11:11,245 --> 00:11:14,251
But the etymology
of the word is non-racial.
274
00:11:14,335 --> 00:11:16,427
I'm not an expert in etymology,
275
00:11:16,511 --> 00:11:20,089
but I do know something about
people using the N-word.
276
00:11:20,951 --> 00:11:24,566
Camille, before you tweeted
about Professor Michaels'
277
00:11:24,650 --> 00:11:26,655
use of N-word-ly,
278
00:11:26,739 --> 00:11:29,310
wasn't there something else
she did that upset you?
279
00:11:29,394 --> 00:11:32,313
- I'm not sure what you're talking about.
- Well, you asked her twice
280
00:11:32,397 --> 00:11:34,669
for an extension
on your term paper.
281
00:11:37,881 --> 00:11:38,972
Yeah-huh.
282
00:11:39,056 --> 00:11:40,321
And she said no.
283
00:11:40,405 --> 00:11:43,541
And when you did
turn in the term paper late
284
00:11:43,625 --> 00:11:46,283
anyway, what grade did you get?
285
00:11:46,367 --> 00:11:47,807
- She gave me a C.
- And isn't that
286
00:11:47,891 --> 00:11:50,940
really the reason that
you wanted to get her fired?
287
00:11:51,024 --> 00:11:52,333
No.
288
00:11:52,417 --> 00:11:53,813
Can't you object or something?
289
00:11:53,897 --> 00:11:56,772
- This has nothing to do with it.
- Even if she did object,
290
00:11:56,856 --> 00:11:58,252
you'd still have to
answer the question.
291
00:11:58,336 --> 00:11:59,819
This court is bullshit.
292
00:11:59,903 --> 00:12:02,299
You want to clear her
so she can get her job back,
293
00:12:02,383 --> 00:12:04,258
but she knew what she was doing
using that word.
294
00:12:04,342 --> 00:12:06,564
- No, I didn't.
- Come on.
295
00:12:06,648 --> 00:12:09,263
You think college is meant
to be a warm, cuddly place
296
00:12:09,347 --> 00:12:10,786
- where you're not challenged.
- No,
297
00:12:10,870 --> 00:12:13,615
I just don't want to spend
my day being offended.
298
00:12:13,699 --> 00:12:15,835
These are the words that
make up the English language.
299
00:12:15,919 --> 00:12:17,575
They exist.
300
00:12:17,659 --> 00:12:19,926
They don't mean
what you think they mean.
301
00:12:20,010 --> 00:12:21,841
- And that is education.
- No.
302
00:12:21,925 --> 00:12:25,845
An education is living in now,
not in the 16th century.
303
00:12:25,929 --> 00:12:28,543
Okay, good.
That was illuminating.
304
00:12:28,627 --> 00:12:31,073
You can step down now.
Thank you, my dear.
305
00:12:36,504 --> 00:12:39,037
Fuck you.
You're not even trying.
306
00:12:47,167 --> 00:12:49,172
The optics matter.
307
00:12:49,256 --> 00:12:50,870
Racially.
308
00:12:50,954 --> 00:12:53,220
I agree.
309
00:12:53,304 --> 00:12:56,005
Some of the jurors
may react to a woman
310
00:12:56,089 --> 00:12:58,268
interrogating a man, period.
311
00:12:58,352 --> 00:13:00,270
Well, we're both women.
312
00:13:00,354 --> 00:13:01,837
That... that can't be helped.
313
00:13:01,921 --> 00:13:04,579
Some of the jurors
may feel more comfortable
314
00:13:04,663 --> 00:13:06,059
if, um...
315
00:13:06,143 --> 00:13:08,632
if I question the cop.
316
00:13:09,842 --> 00:13:11,200
'Cause you're white?
317
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,806
Yes.
I'm just speaking pragmatically.
318
00:13:13,890 --> 00:13:17,032
They may not think I have
as big a dog in the fight.
319
00:13:18,024 --> 00:13:20,682
And, on the other hand,
some jurors might appreciate
320
00:13:20,766 --> 00:13:23,337
that I dohave
a dog in the fight.
321
00:13:23,421 --> 00:13:26,122
Okay. Well, I could
be more dispassionate.
322
00:13:26,206 --> 00:13:28,565
Do we want dispassionate?
323
00:13:31,037 --> 00:13:34,522
Liz, you're shoving me out
of my name partner position
324
00:13:34,606 --> 00:13:36,959
- because of my race.
- I am doing nothing.
325
00:13:37,043 --> 00:13:40,136
You are the one
who got our racist clients
326
00:13:40,220 --> 00:13:41,616
to whine to STR Laurie about us.
327
00:13:41,700 --> 00:13:43,357
Those clients bring in
a great deal of money,
328
00:13:43,441 --> 00:13:44,445
and they are not racists.
329
00:13:44,529 --> 00:13:46,360
Oh, are you fucking kidding me?
330
00:13:46,444 --> 00:13:47,883
They have been my clients
for 15 years.
331
00:13:47,967 --> 00:13:49,106
That's what it was about.
332
00:13:49,191 --> 00:13:51,599
Are you saying that-that
if you were being replaced
333
00:13:51,684 --> 00:13:53,628
by another white partner they
would have the same objection?
334
00:13:53,712 --> 00:13:56,283
I'm saying... maybe they
worry about racial grudges.
335
00:13:56,367 --> 00:13:58,415
- Oh, my God.
- I mean, what do you call
336
00:13:58,499 --> 00:14:00,591
pushing me out of a-a...
of a name partnership
337
00:14:00,675 --> 00:14:03,856
- that I worked for?
- That you felt entitled to.
338
00:14:03,940 --> 00:14:05,727
Excuse me?
339
00:14:05,811 --> 00:14:06,902
Really?
340
00:14:06,986 --> 00:14:08,034
That's what you think?
341
00:14:08,118 --> 00:14:09,774
Yeah.
342
00:14:09,858 --> 00:14:12,821
I think that Barbara Kolstad
was shoved out
343
00:14:12,905 --> 00:14:15,221
because you felt entitled
to her position.
344
00:14:15,821 --> 00:14:19,523
Fine. Let's finish this case,
because here's the problem:
345
00:14:19,607 --> 00:14:22,439
We can't work together
if you don't respect me.
346
00:14:22,523 --> 00:14:25,790
No, we can't work together
if you use race cynically.
347
00:14:25,874 --> 00:14:27,140
Oh, fine.
348
00:14:27,224 --> 00:14:30,099
You cross-examine him,
because this is bullshit.
349
00:14:30,183 --> 00:14:31,492
This is motherfucking bullshit.
350
00:14:31,576 --> 00:14:33,973
You want to come after me,
you come after me
351
00:14:34,057 --> 00:14:37,672
with an honest argument
about my lack of competence,
352
00:14:37,756 --> 00:14:40,457
- my lack of worth.
- Your unworthiness...
353
00:14:40,541 --> 00:14:42,982
Which you don't seem
to want to acknowledge...
354
00:14:43,066 --> 00:14:47,209
Is you can't be the top dog
in a Black firm.
355
00:14:50,290 --> 00:14:52,606
Wake up.
356
00:14:57,776 --> 00:14:59,999
Ever shoot anybody?
357
00:15:00,083 --> 00:15:01,348
No, ma'am.
358
00:15:01,432 --> 00:15:02,721
Not in 11 years of service.
359
00:15:02,806 --> 00:15:05,961
Other than on the occasion
of Antoinette Lacey's passing,
360
00:15:06,045 --> 00:15:07,354
had you ever used your stun gun?
361
00:15:07,438 --> 00:15:09,617
Never, and...
362
00:15:09,701 --> 00:15:11,749
I hope to God I never do again.
363
00:15:11,833 --> 00:15:13,708
Did anyone tell you
364
00:15:13,792 --> 00:15:15,579
that Antoinette Lacey
had a heart condition?
365
00:15:15,663 --> 00:15:19,192
No. No one did.
366
00:15:19,276 --> 00:15:21,548
I just...
367
00:15:30,287 --> 00:15:32,205
So, other than
killing an unarmed girl,
368
00:15:32,289 --> 00:15:35,034
- Object to "killed."
- you never used your stun gun?
369
00:15:35,118 --> 00:15:37,514
- Yeah, Counselor, rephrase.
- So, other than using
370
00:15:37,598 --> 00:15:39,821
lethal force on an unarmed girl,
371
00:15:39,905 --> 00:15:42,215
you only faced
disciplinary action
372
00:15:42,299 --> 00:15:43,694
for violent behavior once?
373
00:15:43,778 --> 00:15:45,305
I'm not sure
what you're referring to.
374
00:15:45,389 --> 00:15:48,003
In February, 2019,
375
00:15:48,087 --> 00:15:50,919
did Chicago PD
respond to a report
376
00:15:51,003 --> 00:15:52,616
of a domestic dispute
at your house?
377
00:15:52,700 --> 00:15:54,401
Objection.
Your Honor, Officer McFinley
378
00:15:54,485 --> 00:15:56,011
isn't on trial
for his personal life.
379
00:15:56,095 --> 00:15:58,448
No, he's on trial
for being a violent cop.
380
00:15:58,532 --> 00:16:00,891
Overruled.
The witness may answer.
381
00:16:01,492 --> 00:16:03,192
It wasn't...
382
00:16:03,276 --> 00:16:04,759
It was an argument.
383
00:16:04,843 --> 00:16:05,862
My wife...
384
00:16:05,947 --> 00:16:07,066
My ex-wife...
385
00:16:07,253 --> 00:16:08,763
We had a fight,
386
00:16:08,847 --> 00:16:10,460
not a physical one, verbal.
387
00:16:10,544 --> 00:16:13,333
- So it was just a noise disturbance?
- Yes.
388
00:16:13,417 --> 00:16:15,944
- Your Honor...
- Uh, Your... Your Honor,
389
00:16:16,028 --> 00:16:18,077
we would like
to call our next witness,
390
00:16:18,161 --> 00:16:19,513
Officer McFinley's ex-wife,
391
00:16:19,597 --> 00:16:20,905
- Vanessa McFinley.
- Your Honor,
392
00:16:20,989 --> 00:16:22,646
Ms. McFinley was not
on the witness list.
393
00:16:22,730 --> 00:16:24,561
She doesn't need
to be. She's being used
394
00:16:24,645 --> 00:16:26,955
to rebut
Officer McFinley's testimony.
395
00:16:27,039 --> 00:16:29,262
- The testimony he just swore to.
- I'm sorry, just a moment,
396
00:16:29,346 --> 00:16:31,481
- Ms. McFinley.
- Your Honor, I know that
397
00:16:31,565 --> 00:16:32,961
with your politics you lean
398
00:16:33,045 --> 00:16:34,876
- to the worldview of BLM...
- No, no,
399
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,530
Counselor, please
don't try that.
400
00:16:36,614 --> 00:16:38,706
Then we ask for a recess
to review with our client.
401
00:16:38,790 --> 00:16:40,273
They can review all they want.
402
00:16:40,357 --> 00:16:42,840
It's not gonna change
what's been said on the stand.
403
00:16:42,924 --> 00:16:45,060
Well, still, Ms. Reddick, um...
404
00:16:45,144 --> 00:16:47,584
let's adjourn
to tomorrow morning.
405
00:16:49,670 --> 00:16:52,372
Well, it was a good try
to get her in today.
406
00:16:52,456 --> 00:16:53,938
Yeah, well,
whether we get her in today
407
00:16:54,022 --> 00:16:57,687
or tomorrow, it doesn't matter.
She's a slam dunk.
408
00:17:02,944 --> 00:17:04,253
Nicholas Dupont.
409
00:17:04,337 --> 00:17:06,174
I represent comedians.
410
00:17:06,731 --> 00:17:09,389
I want to help anyone
who's serious about comedy
411
00:17:09,473 --> 00:17:11,005
and his career.
412
00:17:12,476 --> 00:17:15,003
- His career but not her career?
- I... Uh, no, that's-that's not
413
00:17:15,087 --> 00:17:17,005
- what I was trying to say.
- One for
414
00:17:17,089 --> 00:17:19,225
- the prosecution, Dean.
- No, no, wait. Now, she didn't
415
00:17:19,309 --> 00:17:21,836
- let me finish my statement.
- Yes, she did, sir.
416
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,795
And you revealed your mindset
with a spontaneous utterance.
417
00:17:24,879 --> 00:17:26,449
Continue, Madame Prosecutor.
418
00:17:26,533 --> 00:17:29,017
- Miss Prosecutor.
- Miss, my apologies.
419
00:17:29,101 --> 00:17:31,454
- Your clients include Joey Battle.
- That's right.
420
00:17:31,538 --> 00:17:32,847
He's a very talented man.
421
00:17:32,931 --> 00:17:35,682
One of the funniest men alive.
422
00:17:36,239 --> 00:17:38,809
Did doing your best for Joey
mean silencing
423
00:17:38,893 --> 00:17:40,550
June Barrow
after he victimized her?
424
00:17:40,634 --> 00:17:42,422
Uh, objection to victimized.
425
00:17:42,506 --> 00:17:44,859
You only get three objections
per day in my court, Mr. Cord.
426
00:17:44,943 --> 00:17:46,252
You sure you want to use it now?
427
00:17:46,336 --> 00:17:47,601
Uh...
428
00:17:47,685 --> 00:17:49,342
Objection withdrawn.
429
00:17:49,426 --> 00:17:51,387
I never silenced anyone.
430
00:17:51,471 --> 00:17:55,609
I have here an affidavit from
Steve Brant at the Laugh Farm
431
00:17:55,693 --> 00:17:57,437
saying you explicitly told him
432
00:17:57,521 --> 00:17:59,308
to cancel June's
upcoming booking.
433
00:17:59,392 --> 00:18:01,441
- Eh, he hates me.
- Uh-huh. And you
434
00:18:01,525 --> 00:18:02,964
- apparently hate him.
- Look,
435
00:18:03,048 --> 00:18:04,705
I might have called her
a loose cannon.
436
00:18:04,789 --> 00:18:06,576
That's a possibilit...
437
00:18:06,660 --> 00:18:08,709
Look, uh...
438
00:18:08,793 --> 00:18:11,712
at the time, I had no idea
there was any truth
439
00:18:11,796 --> 00:18:13,627
- to the allegations about Joey.
- You didn't notice
440
00:18:13,711 --> 00:18:15,629
that June's story
had uncanny similarities
441
00:18:15,713 --> 00:18:17,979
to stories told
by other female comedians?
442
00:18:18,063 --> 00:18:20,155
I heard a rumor that Joey
might have had an affair or two
443
00:18:20,239 --> 00:18:21,722
that went sour, but...
444
00:18:21,806 --> 00:18:25,639
I-I didn't understand
the allegations, exactly.
445
00:18:25,723 --> 00:18:27,162
You never heard
that he had a habit
446
00:18:27,246 --> 00:18:29,121
of inviting women
to his dressing room,
447
00:18:29,205 --> 00:18:31,166
blocking the door,
and then masturbating
448
00:18:31,250 --> 00:18:33,473
- into a potted ficus?
- Absolutely not.
449
00:18:33,557 --> 00:18:36,215
So it's just a coincidence that
at your 2015 holiday party
450
00:18:36,299 --> 00:18:37,912
you made a joke
that people should keep Joey
451
00:18:37,996 --> 00:18:40,442
away from the Christmas tree?
452
00:18:43,741 --> 00:18:48,058
I think this deserves
two slashes, Dean.
453
00:18:49,181 --> 00:18:50,707
Marissa.
454
00:18:50,791 --> 00:18:53,057
Use me however you want.
I'm in.
455
00:18:53,141 --> 00:18:54,233
- Really?
- Yes.
456
00:18:54,317 --> 00:18:56,844
Oh!
Thank you.
457
00:18:56,928 --> 00:18:58,237
Hey.
458
00:18:58,321 --> 00:19:00,984
Where was that passion
in the N-word case?
459
00:19:01,846 --> 00:19:05,026
Oh, I guess I feel like
it's not the N-word.
460
00:19:05,110 --> 00:19:06,375
It is.
461
00:19:06,459 --> 00:19:08,818
It always is.
462
00:19:38,883 --> 00:19:41,541
Witnesses heard the
shooter yell, "That's for Antoinette,"
463
00:19:41,625 --> 00:19:44,283
- an apparent reference to the ongoing
- Oh, my God.
464
00:19:44,367 --> 00:19:45,893
- Civil suit against the officer.
- Diane, turn on the news.
465
00:19:45,977 --> 00:19:47,590
In what is turning into
a season of...
466
00:19:49,502 --> 00:19:53,248
Before two shots
were fired at close range.
467
00:19:53,332 --> 00:19:55,207
The assailant is unknown
and still at large.
468
00:19:55,291 --> 00:19:57,644
Many wonder whether
the ongoing brutality lawsuit
469
00:19:57,728 --> 00:19:59,646
against the city
had something to do with
470
00:19:59,730 --> 00:20:02,170
the patrol officer's murder.
471
00:20:02,254 --> 00:20:03,998
Oh, fuck.
472
00:20:04,082 --> 00:20:07,001
Jesse McFinley was a father
of four and a 15-year veteran
473
00:20:07,085 --> 00:20:10,010
of the Chicago
Police Department.
474
00:21:55,193 --> 00:21:56,676
Do you guys have a minute?
475
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,292
Sure.
476
00:22:00,372 --> 00:22:02,116
Remember how you told me
how much you hate
477
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,465
being Blackopedia
for white people,
478
00:22:03,549 --> 00:22:05,032
explaining what is
or isn't offensive?
479
00:22:05,116 --> 00:22:06,642
Yeah.
480
00:22:06,726 --> 00:22:10,173
I really need to ask you if
something is or isn't offensive.
481
00:22:11,905 --> 00:22:13,780
We love playing this game
with white allies.
482
00:22:13,864 --> 00:22:15,434
You can ask me about Jews
any time you want.
483
00:22:15,518 --> 00:22:16,652
Just go.
484
00:22:18,172 --> 00:22:19,873
I'm prosecuting someone
in Wackner's court
485
00:22:19,957 --> 00:22:21,788
who lost their professorship
for saying a word.
486
00:22:21,872 --> 00:22:24,405
What word?
487
00:22:28,618 --> 00:22:29,709
Niggardly?
488
00:22:29,793 --> 00:22:30,840
As in "stingy"?
489
00:22:30,924 --> 00:22:33,016
Exactly. Is the word offensive?
490
00:22:33,100 --> 00:22:35,671
- No. It means stingy.
- Wait...
491
00:22:35,755 --> 00:22:36,977
It's a medieval word
492
00:22:37,061 --> 00:22:38,935
that no one uses
in casual conversation.
493
00:22:39,019 --> 00:22:41,460
- You really think it's offensive?
- I think it's a microaggression.
494
00:22:41,544 --> 00:22:43,157
And microaggressions
are like Pringles.
495
00:22:43,241 --> 00:22:45,377
You never have just one.
If you mean "stingy"...
496
00:22:45,461 --> 00:22:47,204
But don't you undercut
the English language
497
00:22:47,288 --> 00:22:49,206
when you reduce the number
of words we can use?
498
00:22:49,290 --> 00:22:50,338
Then create new ones!
499
00:22:50,422 --> 00:22:51,644
That's how language develops.
500
00:22:51,728 --> 00:22:53,950
- Why not do both?
- Okay.
501
00:22:54,034 --> 00:22:56,344
African Americans
aren't monolithic. I get it.
502
00:22:56,428 --> 00:22:58,128
- No, Carmen is just weird.
- No.
503
00:22:58,212 --> 00:23:01,044
I just don't have the same
thin skin that you do.
504
00:23:01,128 --> 00:23:02,916
- Really? Thin?
- Uh-huh.
505
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,532
Not a Black person on earth
would ever let that word slide.
506
00:23:05,617 --> 00:23:07,224
Thank you for supporting
the monolithic argument,
507
00:23:07,308 --> 00:23:09,755
but I think it has nothing
to do with that.
508
00:23:10,311 --> 00:23:13,535
Although I've asked you
to ignore the news,
509
00:23:13,619 --> 00:23:18,061
you've probably heard by now
that Officer McFinley
510
00:23:18,145 --> 00:23:20,499
was killed last night.
511
00:23:20,583 --> 00:23:23,415
Our deepest sympathies
go out to his family.
512
00:23:23,499 --> 00:23:27,201
Nevertheless, uh,
this case is not against him,
513
00:23:27,285 --> 00:23:29,986
it is against the Chicago PD.
514
00:23:30,070 --> 00:23:34,077
We must do our best
to set aside emotions
515
00:23:34,161 --> 00:23:36,471
and look only at the facts.
516
00:23:36,555 --> 00:23:37,820
But first...
517
00:23:38,279 --> 00:23:40,170
a moment of silence
518
00:23:40,254 --> 00:23:43,832
feels appropriate.
519
00:23:54,921 --> 00:23:57,541
We're fucked.
520
00:23:58,185 --> 00:24:01,676
Thank you for answering
our questions, Ms. McFinley.
521
00:24:02,189 --> 00:24:05,239
Can you tell us about your
ex-husband's violence
522
00:24:05,323 --> 00:24:07,943
and the domestic abuse call?
523
00:24:08,848 --> 00:24:11,027
He was a good man.
524
00:24:12,765 --> 00:24:14,117
When he got stressed out,
525
00:24:14,201 --> 00:24:16,555
it was only 'cause he
was working too hard.
526
00:24:16,639 --> 00:24:20,384
He put his life on the line
every single day.
527
00:24:20,468 --> 00:24:23,170
But he-he, he did hit you?
528
00:24:23,254 --> 00:24:25,781
I'm so sorry, Jess.
529
00:24:25,865 --> 00:24:28,044
I'm so sorry. Oh, my God.
530
00:24:28,128 --> 00:24:29,878
You didn't deserve it.
531
00:24:37,268 --> 00:24:39,969
Mr. McFinley's death,
in the middle of this case,
532
00:24:40,053 --> 00:24:41,797
has clearly prejudiced
this jury.
533
00:24:41,881 --> 00:24:43,059
Why would you think that?
534
00:24:43,143 --> 00:24:44,321
Oh, come on.
535
00:24:44,405 --> 00:24:45,801
Not a great argument, Counselor.
536
00:24:45,885 --> 00:24:47,760
I'm going to need something
more than "Come on."
537
00:24:47,844 --> 00:24:48,891
We're worried that the jury
538
00:24:48,975 --> 00:24:50,414
won't base their decision
on fact.
539
00:24:50,498 --> 00:24:51,981
They're gonna base it on
McFinley being violently killed.
540
00:24:52,065 --> 00:24:53,592
You were never basing this
on the facts.
541
00:24:53,676 --> 00:24:54,984
You were basing this
on the emotions
542
00:24:55,068 --> 00:24:56,290
for that poor Black girl.
543
00:24:56,374 --> 00:24:57,900
Okay, thank you.
544
00:24:57,984 --> 00:24:59,772
I'm-I'm just gonna keep
talking until somebody listens.
545
00:24:59,856 --> 00:25:02,296
So, I'm just talking, talking.
Words, words, words.
546
00:25:02,380 --> 00:25:04,211
I'm calling a voir dire de novo.
547
00:25:04,295 --> 00:25:05,865
I know. I know.
548
00:25:05,949 --> 00:25:07,388
I've never done this before.
549
00:25:07,472 --> 00:25:09,129
A voir dire, mid-trial,
550
00:25:09,213 --> 00:25:11,044
you can re-question
the jury in chambers.
551
00:25:11,128 --> 00:25:12,959
You can ask them if they're
watching the news
552
00:25:13,043 --> 00:25:14,656
and find out
how they're impacted.
553
00:25:14,740 --> 00:25:17,354
And if they are impacted,
you will declare a mistrial?
554
00:25:17,438 --> 00:25:18,617
I don't know what I'll do.
555
00:25:18,701 --> 00:25:20,662
You can solve this, though.
You know?
556
00:25:20,746 --> 00:25:25,275
You three can come up with some
kind of negotiated settlement.
557
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:26,320
That's my recommendation.
558
00:25:26,404 --> 00:25:28,627
But what do I know?
559
00:25:28,711 --> 00:25:32,108
Joey invited comedians
to his dressing room for drinks
560
00:25:32,192 --> 00:25:33,849
after shows sometimes.
561
00:25:33,933 --> 00:25:35,111
Hey, Joey.
562
00:25:35,195 --> 00:25:37,026
I was excited
when he invited me.
563
00:25:37,110 --> 00:25:39,289
I thought, finally,
I'm in the inner circle.
564
00:25:39,373 --> 00:25:41,988
I didn't realize
it would just be me and Joey.
565
00:25:42,072 --> 00:25:43,380
Can you tell us
what happened next?
566
00:25:43,464 --> 00:25:46,122
He asked if he could...
567
00:25:48,034 --> 00:25:49,561
Jerk off in front of me.
568
00:25:49,645 --> 00:25:51,954
I thought it was a joke,
so I laughed.
569
00:25:52,038 --> 00:25:53,129
But then he did it.
570
00:25:53,213 --> 00:25:54,609
I just stood there.
571
00:25:54,693 --> 00:25:56,959
Like it was some kind
of an initiation.
572
00:25:57,043 --> 00:25:58,657
Did you tell anyone
what happened?
573
00:25:58,741 --> 00:25:59,658
I told everyone,
574
00:25:59,742 --> 00:26:02,095
and they all blamed me.
575
00:26:02,179 --> 00:26:03,618
The men especially.
576
00:26:03,702 --> 00:26:05,054
They just looked at me
like I compelled Joey
577
00:26:05,138 --> 00:26:06,403
to quick masturbate.
578
00:26:06,487 --> 00:26:08,797
My manager told me
to shut my mouth,
579
00:26:08,881 --> 00:26:10,494
- or it would ruin my career.
- And did it?
580
00:26:10,593 --> 00:26:13,692
The first gig I had
as a headliner got canceled.
581
00:26:14,365 --> 00:26:16,109
Things went south after that.
582
00:26:16,193 --> 00:26:18,198
Has your career ever rebounded?
583
00:26:18,282 --> 00:26:19,939
Fuck no. Hmm-mm.
584
00:26:20,023 --> 00:26:21,810
I'm sorry, June.
585
00:26:21,894 --> 00:26:24,471
Nothing further.
586
00:26:29,032 --> 00:26:30,514
Ms. Barrow,
587
00:26:30,598 --> 00:26:35,345
you had a headliner gig
canceled on July 11, 2019?
588
00:26:35,429 --> 00:26:37,696
- Is that right?
- Uh-huh.
589
00:26:37,780 --> 00:26:40,916
I'd like to read a review
from a prior gig on July 10th.
590
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,441
"While June Barrow has been
described as a rising star,
591
00:26:44,525 --> 00:26:47,488
"she proved tonight
how easy it is to mistake
592
00:26:47,572 --> 00:26:49,490
a low-flying satellite
for a distant sun."
593
00:26:49,574 --> 00:26:51,710
Ms. Barrow, your headliner gig
594
00:26:51,794 --> 00:26:53,581
was canceled
because of bad reviews.
595
00:26:53,665 --> 00:26:55,409
- Wasn't it?
- Comics get bad reviews all the time.
596
00:26:55,493 --> 00:26:56,802
Have you read Joey Battle's?
597
00:26:56,886 --> 00:26:58,673
Well, why don't you show us
your act then?
598
00:26:58,757 --> 00:27:00,109
Let the court see
just how funny you are.
599
00:27:00,193 --> 00:27:01,545
Objection.
600
00:27:01,629 --> 00:27:03,330
That sounds like a good idea.
601
00:27:03,414 --> 00:27:04,548
It's irrelevant, Your Honor.
602
00:27:04,632 --> 00:27:06,507
This is the wrong venue,
the wrong crowd.
603
00:27:06,591 --> 00:27:08,378
You-You've gotten tons
of laughs in here.
604
00:27:08,462 --> 00:27:10,163
They were spontaneous.
This is different.
605
00:27:10,247 --> 00:27:12,731
Marissa, you're flailing.
606
00:27:12,815 --> 00:27:14,602
You know what you get
when you flail.
607
00:27:14,686 --> 00:27:16,038
I... Your Honor,
I am not flailing.
608
00:27:16,122 --> 00:27:17,866
Put it on, Marissa.
609
00:27:17,950 --> 00:27:19,961
Come on.
610
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,742
Okay, be seated.
611
00:27:23,826 --> 00:27:26,527
Okay, let's hear it.
Tell us some jokes.
612
00:27:26,611 --> 00:27:29,443
- I'm not really a joke comedian.
- What other kind is there?
613
00:27:29,527 --> 00:27:32,751
I tell stories about the frailty
of being human.
614
00:27:32,835 --> 00:27:34,671
Oh, okay. Do that.
615
00:27:35,185 --> 00:27:37,587
Uh...
616
00:27:38,405 --> 00:27:40,846
Ah, okay, uh...
617
00:27:40,930 --> 00:27:44,763
Uh, who came up
with the term "rape fantasy"?
618
00:27:44,847 --> 00:27:48,418
I mean, what was that woman
thinking? She should aim higher.
619
00:27:48,502 --> 00:27:50,246
One day I'm gonna win
an Oscar and cure cancer,
620
00:27:50,330 --> 00:27:52,596
and then...
621
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,990
I love being a millennial.
622
00:27:55,074 --> 00:27:58,913
I can wake up late and blame
everyone else for everything.
623
00:28:03,909 --> 00:28:05,441
Okay, Dean.
624
00:28:08,566 --> 00:28:11,137
Have a seat in the,
uh, witness box,
625
00:28:11,221 --> 00:28:13,574
Juror Number Two.
626
00:28:13,658 --> 00:28:16,620
So, uh, the attorneys are
gonna ask you some questions
627
00:28:16,704 --> 00:28:19,362
about recent events to see
how you've been affected.
628
00:28:19,446 --> 00:28:20,886
Is that okay?
629
00:28:20,970 --> 00:28:24,541
You posted on Facebook
after the McFinley killing.
630
00:28:24,625 --> 00:28:25,804
- Didn't you?
- I guess.
631
00:28:25,888 --> 00:28:27,893
I talk to my grandkids
every day.
632
00:28:27,977 --> 00:28:29,285
Mm-hmm. You wrote,
633
00:28:29,369 --> 00:28:32,245
"People need to have respect
for what cops do.
634
00:28:32,329 --> 00:28:34,040
A hero was gunned down."
635
00:28:34,125 --> 00:28:35,814
I just think he deserves
a little respect.
636
00:28:35,898 --> 00:28:37,380
The man died.
637
00:28:37,464 --> 00:28:39,339
- Your Honor, we move to strike for cause.
- Objection.
638
00:28:39,423 --> 00:28:40,819
This is all racial.
639
00:28:40,903 --> 00:28:43,735
It is not. She wrote
in support of McFinley.
640
00:28:43,819 --> 00:28:46,389
Yeah. Yeah, I'll give it to you.
Uh, juror dismissed.
641
00:28:46,473 --> 00:28:47,956
Let's get the next one in here.
642
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,877
Thank you. Thank you.
643
00:28:51,348 --> 00:28:53,745
Didn't three Black students
approach you
644
00:28:53,829 --> 00:28:55,790
about not repeating the word
"N-word-ly"?
645
00:28:55,874 --> 00:28:59,315
Oh, they objected to many
of the ways I taught.
646
00:28:59,399 --> 00:29:02,405
And, despite that,
you used the word again,
647
00:29:02,489 --> 00:29:04,407
even though you were told
it made them uncomfortable?
648
00:29:04,491 --> 00:29:06,845
Objection. Unduly argumentative.
649
00:29:06,929 --> 00:29:08,585
She didn't commit murder.
650
00:29:08,669 --> 00:29:11,501
True, but I love a good
Socratic argument. Go for it.
651
00:29:11,585 --> 00:29:13,815
You used "N-word-ly" again,
didn't you, Professor?
652
00:29:15,763 --> 00:29:18,465
I took it as a teaching moment.
653
00:29:18,549 --> 00:29:21,207
I-I explained
what the word meant,
654
00:29:21,291 --> 00:29:24,340
and, uh, I had to use the word
in order to explain it.
655
00:29:24,424 --> 00:29:25,385
Even though
you were asked to stop?
656
00:29:25,469 --> 00:29:26,821
I'm an educator.
657
00:29:26,905 --> 00:29:28,997
Challenging students
is my responsibility.
658
00:29:29,081 --> 00:29:30,433
So you're trying to offend?
659
00:29:30,517 --> 00:29:33,132
No, but I am trying to prepare
my students
660
00:29:33,216 --> 00:29:36,178
for a world that won't kowtow
to their sensitivities.
661
00:29:36,262 --> 00:29:39,834
So you deliberately say things
to trigger students?
662
00:29:39,918 --> 00:29:42,619
School is not a place
to be comforted.
663
00:29:42,703 --> 00:29:44,012
It's a place to be challenged.
664
00:29:44,096 --> 00:29:46,972
Where do you draw the line
between challenged
665
00:29:47,056 --> 00:29:48,234
and triggered?
666
00:29:48,318 --> 00:29:49,409
I don't.
667
00:29:49,493 --> 00:29:51,019
A-a-a class shouldn't be
governed
668
00:29:51,103 --> 00:29:52,934
by the most fragile sensibility,
669
00:29:53,018 --> 00:29:56,938
or, or it would shy away
from every difficult subject.
670
00:29:57,022 --> 00:29:59,985
A history class
has to discuss rape
671
00:30:00,069 --> 00:30:01,725
when talking about war crimes.
672
00:30:01,809 --> 00:30:03,640
But it doesn't
have to describe it in detail.
673
00:30:03,724 --> 00:30:06,730
It does if it wants
the students to sympathize,
674
00:30:06,814 --> 00:30:09,342
to understand
a victim's account.
675
00:30:09,426 --> 00:30:12,040
The only way to honor a victim
676
00:30:12,124 --> 00:30:15,005
might be to relate
to her full account.
677
00:30:15,998 --> 00:30:17,654
Okay, I get that.
678
00:30:17,738 --> 00:30:20,614
But why not use
the word "stingy"
679
00:30:20,698 --> 00:30:24,748
or "miserly"
instead of "N-word-ly"?
680
00:30:24,832 --> 00:30:27,664
Because I like clarity
in language.
681
00:30:27,748 --> 00:30:29,492
I like variety in language.
682
00:30:29,576 --> 00:30:33,583
And, and-and, yes,
maybe I am pushing back a bit.
683
00:30:33,667 --> 00:30:34,933
Then why not use the N-word?
684
00:30:35,017 --> 00:30:37,457
Could we have one questioner
at a time?
685
00:30:37,541 --> 00:30:39,024
No, answer the question.
686
00:30:39,108 --> 00:30:41,771
If you want to push back,
why not use the actual N-word?
687
00:30:42,328 --> 00:30:46,727
Because I'm not teaching the
Civil War or Huckleberry Finn.
688
00:30:46,811 --> 00:30:49,301
And if you were, you might?
689
00:30:50,858 --> 00:30:52,695
Yes.
690
00:30:53,992 --> 00:30:55,170
Juror 14.
691
00:30:55,254 --> 00:30:57,651
Identifies as mixed race.
692
00:30:57,735 --> 00:30:59,261
Works at a food bank.
693
00:30:59,345 --> 00:31:01,002
Probably won't be able
to knock him off.
694
00:31:01,086 --> 00:31:02,569
We're out of options.
695
00:31:02,653 --> 00:31:05,093
We need one more juror
bumped to get our mistrial.
696
00:31:05,177 --> 00:31:07,443
I've checked. We don't have anything else.
697
00:31:07,527 --> 00:31:09,532
You need to see this.
698
00:31:09,616 --> 00:31:10,969
Oh, good God. What now?
699
00:31:11,053 --> 00:31:12,274
We're on the news.
700
00:31:12,358 --> 00:31:14,102
On? What does that mean?
701
00:31:14,186 --> 00:31:16,452
Systemic
racism. White privilege.
702
00:31:16,536 --> 00:31:20,282
We hear it from academics
and Hollywood celebrities
703
00:31:20,366 --> 00:31:21,980
and basketball players.
704
00:31:22,064 --> 00:31:24,069
By the way, how many houses
does LeBron James have?
705
00:31:24,153 --> 00:31:27,637
Now add to the list
Marxist slip-and-fall lawyers
706
00:31:27,721 --> 00:31:29,988
from "Raddick" /Lockhart.
707
00:31:30,072 --> 00:31:32,686
You need to hear what one
of these lawyers had to say
708
00:31:32,770 --> 00:31:34,688
about martyred Chicago
police officer
709
00:31:34,772 --> 00:31:36,646
Jesse Patrick McFinley.
710
00:31:36,730 --> 00:31:39,475
Cops have not been held
accountable for far too long,
711
00:31:39,559 --> 00:31:41,564
and now the bill is due.
712
00:31:41,648 --> 00:31:44,393
I made that statement
before McFinley was killed.
713
00:31:44,477 --> 00:31:46,830
A cop gunned down in cold blood.
714
00:31:46,914 --> 00:31:48,832
And to lawyer Diane Lockhart,
715
00:31:48,916 --> 00:31:51,444
- Oh...
- "The bill's come due."
716
00:31:51,528 --> 00:31:53,489
Was that not her finger
on the trigger
717
00:31:53,573 --> 00:31:57,145
as much as whatever thug
held the gun?
718
00:31:57,229 --> 00:31:58,668
I'm asking the question
719
00:31:58,752 --> 00:32:01,454
because that's what we do here.
720
00:32:03,540 --> 00:32:05,333
Maybe we could use this.
721
00:32:08,110 --> 00:32:09,331
With the judge?
722
00:32:09,415 --> 00:32:11,203
He hates Fox News.
723
00:32:11,287 --> 00:32:13,118
Maybe we could start over
again with the jurors.
724
00:32:13,202 --> 00:32:16,643
Well, I'm glad you find
something positive here.
725
00:32:16,727 --> 00:32:19,385
He just called you two
co-assassins.
726
00:32:19,469 --> 00:32:22,132
We need to get you security.
727
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,224
So one more juror.
728
00:32:32,308 --> 00:32:34,182
And we have our mistrial.
729
00:32:34,266 --> 00:32:35,972
That's doable.
730
00:32:39,837 --> 00:32:42,762
Stay close.
731
00:33:12,141 --> 00:33:13,978
All rise.
732
00:33:17,875 --> 00:33:20,016
May we approach, Your Honor?
733
00:33:20,660 --> 00:33:22,709
Uh, sure. Yeah. Let's go ahead.
734
00:33:22,793 --> 00:33:25,761
You may be seated. Thank you.
735
00:33:28,451 --> 00:33:31,500
Your Honor, last night
Ted Willoughby on Fox News...
736
00:33:31,584 --> 00:33:33,067
Yes, I-I know who he is.
737
00:33:33,151 --> 00:33:34,895
He accused the two of us
of being complicit
738
00:33:34,979 --> 00:33:36,940
in the murder
of Officer McFinley...
739
00:33:37,024 --> 00:33:38,855
Was this the first time someone
on Fox was mean to you?
740
00:33:38,939 --> 00:33:41,858
We're concerned about
his influence on the jury.
741
00:33:41,942 --> 00:33:43,643
We'd like to ask the jurors
about it.
742
00:33:43,727 --> 00:33:45,601
Your Honor, we already went
through the jurors.
743
00:33:45,685 --> 00:33:47,647
You ruled no mistrial.
744
00:33:47,731 --> 00:33:49,257
This is new influence.
745
00:33:49,341 --> 00:33:50,998
They just want another bite
at the apple.
746
00:33:51,082 --> 00:33:52,565
They want to get
one more juror bumped.
747
00:33:52,649 --> 00:33:55,133
We want an unbiased jury
just like you do.
748
00:33:55,217 --> 00:33:56,612
Just like His Honor does.
749
00:33:56,696 --> 00:33:59,050
And we don't want
the influence of Fox News.
750
00:33:59,134 --> 00:34:00,703
They're playing
on your bias against Fox.
751
00:34:00,787 --> 00:34:05,621
Okay, uh, voir dire de novo
et doctuse.
752
00:34:05,705 --> 00:34:08,369
That's Latin for "the sequel."
753
00:34:09,883 --> 00:34:12,106
Do you know who
Ted Willoughby is?
754
00:34:12,190 --> 00:34:13,020
I do.
755
00:34:13,104 --> 00:34:14,239
And have you watched his show?
756
00:34:14,323 --> 00:34:15,805
Not has she watched his show,
757
00:34:15,889 --> 00:34:17,764
but has she watched his show
last night?
758
00:34:17,848 --> 00:34:19,157
Okay, I'll ask.
759
00:34:19,241 --> 00:34:20,506
Have you watched
the Ted Willoughby show
760
00:34:20,590 --> 00:34:21,507
in the last two days?
761
00:34:21,591 --> 00:34:22,638
Uh, no, I don't watch it.
762
00:34:22,722 --> 00:34:24,640
Some people from my church have,
763
00:34:24,724 --> 00:34:25,989
but I don't like it.
764
00:34:26,073 --> 00:34:27,643
And has anyone from your church
told you
765
00:34:27,727 --> 00:34:29,167
that Ted Willoughby said
that the two of us
766
00:34:29,251 --> 00:34:30,559
are responsible
for the murder...
767
00:34:30,643 --> 00:34:31,952
She just said she didn't see it.
768
00:34:32,036 --> 00:34:33,171
Don't try to fill her in
and create some bias
769
00:34:33,255 --> 00:34:34,781
where there is none.
770
00:34:34,865 --> 00:34:36,304
We take exception to that
characterization, Your Honor.
771
00:34:36,388 --> 00:34:38,001
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Come here. All of you.
772
00:34:38,085 --> 00:34:40,874
Uh, no, sorry. Not you.
Uh, sorry, stay.
773
00:34:40,958 --> 00:34:43,181
Um, Counselors,
you two are pushing it.
774
00:34:43,265 --> 00:34:45,139
You get to ask these jurors
one question.
775
00:34:45,223 --> 00:34:47,141
Have they seen this reporter?
And that's it.
776
00:34:47,225 --> 00:34:49,187
And whether they're intimidated
by the presence of cops
777
00:34:49,271 --> 00:34:50,710
- in the courtroom.
- Your Honor...
778
00:34:50,794 --> 00:34:52,190
No, that's
a reasonable question.
779
00:34:52,274 --> 00:34:54,714
And if we get noes
from the jurors, we move on.
780
00:34:54,798 --> 00:34:57,020
- Understood?
- Yes.
781
00:34:57,104 --> 00:34:59,197
That didn't go well.
782
00:34:59,281 --> 00:35:00,676
Okay. What now?
783
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:02,243
Prepare for trial.
784
00:35:02,327 --> 00:35:04,027
I'll see if the jurors' answers
check out.
785
00:35:06,288 --> 00:35:08,641
This is odd.
The case I didn't care about
786
00:35:08,725 --> 00:35:11,470
is going well, and the one
I do care about is cratering.
787
00:35:11,554 --> 00:35:12,949
- Did you see that guy?
- No.
788
00:35:13,033 --> 00:35:15,915
- What?
- It was Joey Battle.
789
00:35:19,779 --> 00:35:21,480
What was Joey Battle doing here?
790
00:35:21,564 --> 00:35:22,916
He met with David Lee.
791
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,533
He's negotiating a contract
with Del Cooper.
792
00:35:27,961 --> 00:35:29,923
Del Cooper to the stand.
793
00:35:30,007 --> 00:35:31,707
I'm sorry, you want...
794
00:35:31,791 --> 00:35:33,231
Del Cooper.
795
00:35:33,315 --> 00:35:36,501
I know he can hear me,
he's in the control room.
796
00:35:37,493 --> 00:35:38,888
Ah. See? Here he comes.
797
00:35:38,972 --> 00:35:40,499
Hey, Hal, uh, Your Honor,
798
00:35:40,583 --> 00:35:42,675
look, I'm really needed
in the control room right now.
799
00:35:42,759 --> 00:35:44,546
If this is a TV show, yes.
800
00:35:44,630 --> 00:35:46,554
But if this is a court, no.
801
00:35:47,677 --> 00:35:49,383
Step up here, Del.
802
00:35:55,162 --> 00:35:57,820
If I take the stand, then
I'm breaking the fourth wall,
803
00:35:57,904 --> 00:35:59,300
and we don't want to do that.
804
00:35:59,384 --> 00:36:01,041
Nobody's breaking any walls.
805
00:36:01,125 --> 00:36:04,311
Sit down in the chair, and
let her ask whatever she wants.
806
00:36:06,348 --> 00:36:08,266
Mr. Cooper,
you had a conversation
807
00:36:08,350 --> 00:36:10,398
with Judge Wackner
prior to this trial, didn't you?
808
00:36:10,482 --> 00:36:12,705
- Objection.
- You were part of that conversation, Mr. Cord.
809
00:36:12,789 --> 00:36:14,097
So were you.
810
00:36:14,181 --> 00:36:16,056
Exactly. So we all
have to be honest here.
811
00:36:16,140 --> 00:36:19,364
Mr. Cooper,
you encouraged Judge Wackner
812
00:36:19,448 --> 00:36:21,409
to take this Joey Battle case,
didn't you?
813
00:36:21,493 --> 00:36:22,976
I have to object, Your Honor.
814
00:36:23,060 --> 00:36:24,282
This court is entitled
to adjudicate any dispute...
815
00:36:24,366 --> 00:36:25,935
Where are you going with this,
Marissa?
816
00:36:26,019 --> 00:36:27,589
Mr. Cooper, you hoped
to rehabilitate
817
00:36:27,673 --> 00:36:29,939
Joey Battle's career,
isn't that right?
818
00:36:30,023 --> 00:36:32,377
So you could put him back
on your streaming site
819
00:36:32,461 --> 00:36:35,560
for a stand-up you're recording
in St. Louis in 14 days?
820
00:36:36,334 --> 00:36:37,469
No.
821
00:36:37,553 --> 00:36:39,427
I thought it would be good
for this show.
822
00:36:39,511 --> 00:36:41,124
This show?
823
00:36:41,208 --> 00:36:43,779
This show,
meaning Wackner's court?
824
00:36:43,863 --> 00:36:45,477
- This is a mistake, Marissa.
- Is it?
825
00:36:45,561 --> 00:36:47,957
Aren't we just here to discover
the truth, Your Honor?
826
00:36:48,041 --> 00:36:50,177
You have something to say
to me, just say it.
827
00:36:50,261 --> 00:36:53,142
Have you prejudged this case?
828
00:36:54,396 --> 00:36:56,705
Are you questioning
my integrity?
829
00:36:56,789 --> 00:36:57,924
I'm asking if you pre...
830
00:36:58,008 --> 00:36:59,839
No, goddamn it!
831
00:36:59,923 --> 00:37:04,670
You will answer my question
before you ask me yours.
832
00:37:04,754 --> 00:37:07,150
If you've already decided how
this case will end,
833
00:37:07,234 --> 00:37:09,240
Your Honor, if we're here
to give Del the ending
834
00:37:09,324 --> 00:37:11,416
he wants for his TV show
and to make you rich and famous,
835
00:37:11,500 --> 00:37:13,635
- then, yes, I am questioning your integrity.
- Put the cameras on.
836
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,551
You pack up your things and you
get the fuck out of here.
837
00:37:16,635 --> 00:37:21,339
The women who have trusted this
court deserve representation.
838
00:37:21,423 --> 00:37:22,905
Well,
you should've thought of that
839
00:37:22,989 --> 00:37:24,342
before you ran off
your fucking mouth.
840
00:37:24,426 --> 00:37:26,741
Now, you get the hell
out of my courtroom!
841
00:37:29,256 --> 00:37:31,528
Wow.
842
00:38:15,477 --> 00:38:17,400
Oh, my God.
843
00:38:19,611 --> 00:38:20,833
It happened last night.
844
00:38:20,917 --> 00:38:22,704
Security doesn't know
how they got in.
845
00:38:22,788 --> 00:38:23,879
Of course they don't.
846
00:38:23,963 --> 00:38:25,620
They suggest we call the cops.
847
00:38:25,704 --> 00:38:27,709
We're gonna have to paint.
848
00:38:27,793 --> 00:38:29,232
I called building maintenance.
849
00:38:29,316 --> 00:38:31,409
- They say we may have to wait.
- What? Why?
850
00:38:31,493 --> 00:38:33,460
'Cause we're cop killers.
851
00:38:33,973 --> 00:38:35,064
Liz, Diane...
852
00:38:35,148 --> 00:38:37,240
I think you might want to see
853
00:38:37,324 --> 00:38:38,720
what Ted Willoughby's
been saying lately.
854
00:38:38,804 --> 00:38:40,853
I think we get the idea, Julius.
855
00:38:40,937 --> 00:38:43,508
No, this is something else.
856
00:38:43,592 --> 00:38:47,120
The man who gave his life
to protect his fellow citizens
857
00:38:47,204 --> 00:38:50,515
is dead, but that's not enough
for the two lawyers
858
00:38:50,599 --> 00:38:52,255
spitting on his grave.
859
00:38:52,339 --> 00:38:54,432
The militant Elizabeth Reddick,
860
00:38:54,516 --> 00:38:57,130
daughter of a disgraced
civil rights leader,
861
00:38:57,214 --> 00:39:00,089
and liberal looney tune
Diane Lockhart.
862
00:39:00,173 --> 00:39:03,092
If the name Diane Lockhart
sounds familiar to you,
863
00:39:03,176 --> 00:39:05,051
that may be
because of my colleague
864
00:39:05,135 --> 00:39:07,096
Duke Roscoe's discovery.
865
00:39:07,180 --> 00:39:11,274
He outed her 11 years ago
as a closeted lesbian.
866
00:39:11,358 --> 00:39:14,495
Diane Lockhart
is technically married,
867
00:39:14,579 --> 00:39:17,672
but to a man we rarely see.
Why is that?
868
00:39:17,756 --> 00:39:20,196
Could it be that she
has something more in common
869
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,590
with someone else?
870
00:39:22,674 --> 00:39:24,200
Someone she works with?
871
00:39:24,284 --> 00:39:27,595
She and Liz Reddick
appear to be inseparable.
872
00:39:27,679 --> 00:39:29,815
Is Liz Reddick
Diane Lockhart's new lover?
873
00:39:31,553 --> 00:39:33,427
I'm just asking questions.
There's no way to know for sure,
874
00:39:33,511 --> 00:39:37,083
because Diane Lockhart
and Liz Reddick won't tell us.
875
00:39:38,603 --> 00:39:40,478
These two lipstick lawyers
want the jury to
876
00:39:40,562 --> 00:39:44,177
believe their eyes when they
look at fuzzy cell phone videos.
877
00:39:44,261 --> 00:39:46,745
Why don't they want us
to believe our eyes
878
00:39:46,829 --> 00:39:48,796
when we look at them?
879
00:39:59,798 --> 00:40:00,933
So...
880
00:40:01,017 --> 00:40:03,680
When do I get to meet your son?
881
00:40:05,587 --> 00:40:06,634
I don't know.
882
00:40:06,718 --> 00:40:07,722
Are we that serious?
883
00:40:07,806 --> 00:40:10,551
I don't know. You tell me.
884
00:40:10,635 --> 00:40:11,987
How's Diane?
885
00:40:12,071 --> 00:40:13,641
Mm-hmm.
886
00:40:13,725 --> 00:40:16,644
So, you're telling me,
I have nothing to worry about?
887
00:40:16,728 --> 00:40:17,819
Okay, Diane and I,
888
00:40:17,903 --> 00:40:19,299
- we go a long way back.
- Mm-hmm.
889
00:40:19,383 --> 00:40:21,301
All right? We didn't
become lovers until after
890
00:40:21,385 --> 00:40:24,304
Trump was elected. It was a very
experimental thing.
891
00:40:25,563 --> 00:40:27,829
Yeah, so, uh...
This is a bit, right?
892
00:40:27,913 --> 00:40:30,310
- Yeah, you'll never know.
- Mm-hmm.
893
00:40:30,394 --> 00:40:31,703
I have ways of making you talk.
894
00:40:37,967 --> 00:40:40,407
Shit.
895
00:40:40,491 --> 00:40:42,365
Yeah, it's me.
896
00:40:42,449 --> 00:40:43,845
No.
897
00:40:43,929 --> 00:40:45,934
No, no, no. You tell him "no."
898
00:40:46,018 --> 00:40:47,675
I-I don't care
if it's contractual.
899
00:40:47,759 --> 00:40:50,678
All right? I'm coming down
right now.
900
00:40:50,762 --> 00:40:51,853
Who was that?
901
00:40:51,937 --> 00:40:53,986
That is my secret lover.
902
00:40:54,070 --> 00:40:56,945
- Huh?
- My, uh, latest reality star.
903
00:40:57,029 --> 00:40:59,519
- Yeah.
- Come here.
904
00:41:00,598 --> 00:41:02,298
Mm.
905
00:41:02,382 --> 00:41:05,737
Are you questioning
my integrity?
906
00:41:05,821 --> 00:41:08,566
- I'm asking if you've pre...
- No, goddamn it!
907
00:41:08,650 --> 00:41:12,700
You will answer my question
before you ask me yours.
908
00:41:12,784 --> 00:41:14,528
If you've already decided
909
00:41:14,612 --> 00:41:16,487
how this case will end,
Your Honor,
910
00:41:16,571 --> 00:41:18,576
if we're here to give Del
the ending he wants
911
00:41:18,660 --> 00:41:20,578
for his TV show,
and to make you rich and famous,
912
00:41:20,662 --> 00:41:23,537
then yes,
I am questioning your integrity.
913
00:41:23,621 --> 00:41:25,713
You pack up your things,
and you get the...
914
00:41:25,797 --> 00:41:28,020
Hey, hey, hey, man.
915
00:41:28,104 --> 00:41:29,456
- Judge.
- Hmm?
916
00:41:29,540 --> 00:41:30,588
Look...
917
00:41:30,672 --> 00:41:32,807
you lost your temper.
Okay?
918
00:41:32,891 --> 00:41:34,853
It's no big deal.
919
00:41:34,937 --> 00:41:36,594
I'm Pol Pot.
920
00:41:36,678 --> 00:41:38,900
- I'm Ceausescu.
- No. No.
921
00:41:38,984 --> 00:41:40,511
Man, look.
922
00:41:40,595 --> 00:41:43,514
One of the biggest moments
in reality TV history
923
00:41:43,598 --> 00:41:48,040
was Tyra Banks losing her shit
on America's Top Model.
924
00:41:48,124 --> 00:41:50,521
She had a meltdown.
Meltdowns are good TV.
925
00:41:52,302 --> 00:41:54,437
Pick up, Marissa. Pick up.
926
00:41:54,521 --> 00:41:56,570
Come on. Come on.
927
00:41:56,654 --> 00:41:58,093
Pick up.
928
00:42:05,532 --> 00:42:06,798
I'm here.
929
00:42:06,882 --> 00:42:09,104
Hey...
930
00:42:09,188 --> 00:42:11,063
I want you to come back
to court.
931
00:42:11,147 --> 00:42:12,455
I want you to finish your cases.
932
00:42:12,539 --> 00:42:13,718
Why?
933
00:42:13,802 --> 00:42:15,937
Because I made a mistake.
934
00:42:16,021 --> 00:42:17,635
I was an asshole.
935
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:18,766
You were right.
936
00:42:18,850 --> 00:42:20,638
Do you want me to apologize?
937
00:42:20,722 --> 00:42:21,900
I will.
938
00:42:21,984 --> 00:42:23,641
Yeah, actually, I do.
939
00:42:23,725 --> 00:42:26,121
I'm sorry.
940
00:42:26,205 --> 00:42:28,080
I was biased.
941
00:42:28,164 --> 00:42:31,257
I won't be when you come back.
942
00:42:31,341 --> 00:42:33,694
I'm taking this seriously,
Your Honor.
943
00:42:33,778 --> 00:42:35,261
I know you are.
944
00:42:35,345 --> 00:42:37,263
That's why I want you back.
945
00:42:37,347 --> 00:42:39,836
You got to finish it.
946
00:42:44,746 --> 00:42:45,967
Thank you. Come in.
947
00:42:46,051 --> 00:42:50,711
Uh, hey.
Thank you for stopping by.
948
00:42:50,795 --> 00:42:52,670
Um...
949
00:42:52,754 --> 00:42:54,585
I...
950
00:42:54,669 --> 00:42:57,631
I've been worried that
I was insensitive,
951
00:42:57,715 --> 00:43:00,242
and I wanted to get
a gut check from both of you.
952
00:43:00,326 --> 00:43:02,375
Sure, Your Honor. What is it?
953
00:43:02,459 --> 00:43:04,246
I've been watching the two
of you throughout the case,
954
00:43:04,330 --> 00:43:06,422
and I realized,
after what I heard last night,
955
00:43:06,506 --> 00:43:09,164
that, uh, your discomfort...
956
00:43:09,248 --> 00:43:12,173
made sense to me.
957
00:43:12,774 --> 00:43:17,346
If my wife and I ever
tried to work together,
958
00:43:17,430 --> 00:43:19,044
our relationship wouldn't last
959
00:43:19,128 --> 00:43:21,524
ten minutes.
960
00:43:21,608 --> 00:43:24,440
So, yeah, more power to you.
961
00:43:24,524 --> 00:43:27,356
I just... I'm a great friend
of the LGBTQ,
962
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,751
uh, plus, you know, community.
963
00:43:30,835 --> 00:43:33,542
Thank you, Your Honor.
964
00:43:34,926 --> 00:43:36,888
Yeah, um...
965
00:43:36,972 --> 00:43:38,585
Yeah, actually, you know what?
966
00:43:38,669 --> 00:43:40,848
Your Honor, there is, there is
something that you could...
967
00:43:40,932 --> 00:43:42,807
could settle for us.
968
00:43:42,891 --> 00:43:44,373
Oh, great. Certainly. Yeah.
969
00:43:44,457 --> 00:43:47,165
One of the jurors, uh,
the one from the church?
970
00:43:47,809 --> 00:43:50,553
Uh, I think she's noticed
how close we are together.
971
00:43:50,637 --> 00:43:52,033
And, uh...
972
00:43:52,117 --> 00:43:53,556
I-I hope you
don't mind me saying this.
973
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,037
No, it's been on my mind
as well. She did...
974
00:43:56,121 --> 00:43:58,126
She did see us
out in the hall...
975
00:43:58,210 --> 00:43:59,562
- Yeah.
- ...together.
976
00:43:59,646 --> 00:44:02,043
Yeah, and, uh, uh,
we're just worried
977
00:44:02,127 --> 00:44:05,220
that our relationship
may have played into her bias.
978
00:44:05,304 --> 00:44:07,962
It would just be good
to be certain.
979
00:44:08,046 --> 00:44:10,492
Don't you think, darling?
980
00:44:14,661 --> 00:44:16,057
So, you go ahead
and ask your questions.
981
00:44:16,141 --> 00:44:17,624
Show what a terrible
person I am.
982
00:44:17,708 --> 00:44:21,106
I guarantee you, I already know,
so does everyone else.
983
00:44:21,190 --> 00:44:23,412
Yeah, that's
sort of your schtick,
984
00:44:23,496 --> 00:44:25,240
saying how awful you are.
985
00:44:25,324 --> 00:44:27,765
My schtick? No, it's the,
the voices in my head.
986
00:44:27,849 --> 00:44:29,462
No. Oof.
987
00:44:29,546 --> 00:44:31,464
I'm an asshole. Good one.
988
00:44:31,548 --> 00:44:33,814
Seems like you feel
pretty sorry for yourself.
989
00:44:33,898 --> 00:44:35,468
I do? I'm sorry.
990
00:44:35,552 --> 00:44:39,080
But you don't feel sorry for
how you treat other people.
991
00:44:39,164 --> 00:44:40,908
Is that a question?
992
00:44:40,992 --> 00:44:43,519
You want to make it
in this business? Be ruthless.
993
00:44:43,603 --> 00:44:45,565
The only thing that matters
is your material.
994
00:44:45,649 --> 00:44:47,915
Other people, they're not real.
995
00:44:47,999 --> 00:44:51,005
You can't worry
about their feelings.
996
00:44:51,089 --> 00:44:52,354
The minute you care...
997
00:44:52,438 --> 00:44:54,443
comedy dies.
998
00:44:54,527 --> 00:44:56,576
"Other people are not real."
999
00:44:56,660 --> 00:44:59,492
That was four years ago.
I'm a different person.
1000
00:44:59,576 --> 00:45:02,190
Two nights ago,
you did a set at 2:00 a.m.
1001
00:45:02,274 --> 00:45:03,670
at The Side Room downtown.
1002
00:45:03,754 --> 00:45:06,325
I-I was testing out
some material.
1003
00:45:06,409 --> 00:45:08,544
Trying some stuff out.
1004
00:45:08,628 --> 00:45:10,242
So there's all these
stupid women out there
1005
00:45:10,326 --> 00:45:14,463
who are going around saying,
"Oh, he did awful things to me."
1006
00:45:14,547 --> 00:45:17,379
Which just makes it harder,
in this day and age,
1007
00:45:17,463 --> 00:45:20,469
for me to convince other women
to let me do awful things
1008
00:45:20,553 --> 00:45:21,819
to them,
which I want to do because
1009
00:45:21,903 --> 00:45:24,038
I'm a male human being!
1010
00:45:24,122 --> 00:45:25,910
You'd think people would
understand that by now,
1011
00:45:25,994 --> 00:45:28,651
but they seem to be completely
hung up on the whole...
1012
00:45:28,735 --> 00:45:31,306
"doing awful things" aspect.
1013
00:45:31,390 --> 00:45:32,873
Is that the new you?
1014
00:45:32,957 --> 00:45:34,135
No.
1015
00:45:34,219 --> 00:45:35,484
That is... Look.
1016
00:45:35,568 --> 00:45:37,704
Comedy, it's, um...
1017
00:45:37,788 --> 00:45:38,966
I do bits.
1018
00:45:39,050 --> 00:45:40,838
It's a mercurial, kind of...
1019
00:45:40,922 --> 00:45:42,883
They're not real.
It's not, you know, it's...
1020
00:45:42,967 --> 00:45:46,234
What you got to look at is
they're just a whatchamacall...
1021
00:45:46,318 --> 00:45:48,242
Like a... Ah.
1022
00:45:53,543 --> 00:45:54,982
The time has come.
1023
00:45:55,066 --> 00:45:56,642
I am ready to rule.
1024
00:45:57,329 --> 00:45:59,378
Henrietta, you were born free,
1025
00:45:59,462 --> 00:46:01,995
and I return you
to your natural state.
1026
00:46:03,074 --> 00:46:04,122
What does that mean?
1027
00:46:04,206 --> 00:46:05,340
It means you may go.
1028
00:46:05,424 --> 00:46:07,342
What you did
falls under the category
1029
00:46:07,426 --> 00:46:08,996
of "awful but lawful."
1030
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,694
And we here at
the Circuit Court of 9 3/4
1031
00:46:11,778 --> 00:46:14,741
are not in the business of
regulating manners.
1032
00:46:14,825 --> 00:46:16,003
So, goodbye.
1033
00:46:16,087 --> 00:46:18,876
Your Honor,
that's actually not what I want.
1034
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:20,442
It isn't?
1035
00:46:20,526 --> 00:46:21,704
What does that mean?
1036
00:46:21,788 --> 00:46:24,272
It would help me get my job back
1037
00:46:24,356 --> 00:46:26,274
if the school knew
I was being punished.
1038
00:46:26,358 --> 00:46:28,015
You want to be punished?
1039
00:46:28,099 --> 00:46:29,408
Yes, please.
1040
00:46:29,492 --> 00:46:32,367
It's the only way
I can be uncanceled.
1041
00:46:32,451 --> 00:46:35,153
If they know the canceling
was satisfied.
1042
00:46:35,237 --> 00:46:38,112
I have only one word for that...
1043
00:46:38,196 --> 00:46:39,505
Oy.
1044
00:46:39,589 --> 00:46:43,552
But sure.
I penalize you to, um...
1045
00:46:43,636 --> 00:46:45,908
cleaning the school bathrooms
for a week.
1046
00:46:46,465 --> 00:46:48,079
- Thank you, Your Honor.
- Anytime.
1047
00:46:48,163 --> 00:46:50,342
Good luck.
1048
00:46:50,426 --> 00:46:51,430
And now Joey Battle.
1049
00:46:51,514 --> 00:46:53,127
Yes, Your Honor. Yes.
1050
00:46:53,211 --> 00:46:56,522
Joey, as you can see, the score
really isn't in your favor.
1051
00:46:56,606 --> 00:46:58,263
I understand you want
your career back.
1052
00:46:58,347 --> 00:47:00,613
You are a funny man.
1053
00:47:00,697 --> 00:47:02,267
It takes hard work to get funny.
1054
00:47:02,351 --> 00:47:03,921
Maybe you think that's enough.
1055
00:47:04,005 --> 00:47:07,141
But you haven't done anything
for the women you hurt.
1056
00:47:07,225 --> 00:47:08,403
You haven't made amends.
1057
00:47:08,487 --> 00:47:10,144
Your Honor, I...
1058
00:47:10,228 --> 00:47:11,602
I brought my checkbook.
1059
00:47:11,687 --> 00:47:13,618
You're a rich man, Joey.
I think everyone here
1060
00:47:13,703 --> 00:47:15,062
knows the minute
you go back to work,
1061
00:47:15,146 --> 00:47:16,890
you'll earn back your fine
in no time.
1062
00:47:16,974 --> 00:47:19,675
Your Honor, everybody deserves
a second chance.
1063
00:47:19,759 --> 00:47:21,764
You know the expression,
"doing your time"?
1064
00:47:21,848 --> 00:47:24,767
Your Honor, I haven't worked
a major venue in over a year.
1065
00:47:24,851 --> 00:47:27,292
How much time
do you want me to take?
1066
00:47:27,376 --> 00:47:31,600
Doing time means more than
taking time.
1067
00:47:31,684 --> 00:47:33,907
It means serving your sentence.
1068
00:47:33,991 --> 00:47:35,256
Going to prison.
1069
00:47:35,340 --> 00:47:37,563
You want to come back? Okay.
1070
00:47:37,647 --> 00:47:40,000
First, you got to do your time.
1071
00:47:40,084 --> 00:47:42,089
Three-week sentence.
1072
00:47:42,173 --> 00:47:43,438
June.
1073
00:47:43,522 --> 00:47:45,092
- Yes?
- Please.
1074
00:47:45,176 --> 00:47:47,616
Come. Here you go.
1075
00:47:47,700 --> 00:47:49,096
Go ahead. Cuff him.
1076
00:47:49,180 --> 00:47:51,359
Is this some kind of a metaphor
or something?
1077
00:47:51,443 --> 00:47:53,100
- Like an adult time-out?
- Yes, Joey.
1078
00:47:53,184 --> 00:47:55,711
That's exactly what prison is,
an adult time-out.
1079
00:47:55,795 --> 00:47:58,105
You keep saying pri... Uh,
this is a joke, though, right?
1080
00:47:58,189 --> 00:48:01,282
June.
I said cuff him.
1081
00:48:01,366 --> 00:48:02,631
Now.
1082
00:48:02,715 --> 00:48:04,982
Your Honor,
you can't just send him...
1083
00:48:05,066 --> 00:48:07,419
W-What prison
are you talking about?
1084
00:48:07,503 --> 00:48:08,594
There is no prison.
1085
00:48:08,678 --> 00:48:10,161
Oh, boy, there is.
1086
00:48:10,245 --> 00:48:12,990
This court's benefactor
owns a private prison company.
1087
00:48:13,074 --> 00:48:16,819
He's offered us a wing in one
of his bankrupted institutions.
1088
00:48:16,903 --> 00:48:18,145
Lucky you, Joey.
1089
00:48:18,230 --> 00:48:19,997
You're the first person
I'm sending there.
1090
00:48:20,081 --> 00:48:21,650
Oh, my God.
1091
00:48:21,734 --> 00:48:23,478
June, he harmed you.
1092
00:48:23,562 --> 00:48:26,182
Go ahead. Cuff him.
1093
00:48:29,133 --> 00:48:31,486
You're going to escort him
to his cell.
1094
00:48:31,570 --> 00:48:32,966
In this court, you get to see
1095
00:48:33,050 --> 00:48:35,055
the person you're sending away,
eye to eye.
1096
00:48:35,139 --> 00:48:36,491
Hey, Your Honor.
1097
00:48:36,575 --> 00:48:38,841
Let's, uh...
let's make it two weeks, okay?
1098
00:48:38,925 --> 00:48:42,236
I know. You have your
stand-up in St. Louis.
1099
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:43,846
Three weeks.
1100
00:48:43,930 --> 00:48:45,370
Recess,
1101
00:48:45,454 --> 00:48:48,683
then we have
the Exxon Mobile case.
1102
00:49:08,694 --> 00:49:10,351
This is really happening,
isn't it?
1103
00:49:10,435 --> 00:49:12,359
It sure looks like it.
1104
00:49:27,626 --> 00:49:29,942
Turn around.
1105
00:49:37,462 --> 00:49:40,338
June...
1106
00:49:40,422 --> 00:49:42,258
I'm sorry.
1107
00:49:44,165 --> 00:49:45,827
You're forgiven.
1108
00:50:04,794 --> 00:50:07,017
Good afternoon, ladies.
1109
00:50:07,101 --> 00:50:09,808
Thanks for coming in
on short notice.
1110
00:50:12,193 --> 00:50:16,336
I hear there's been a lot
of tension between you two.
1111
00:50:16,849 --> 00:50:18,767
No, everything's fine.
1112
00:50:18,851 --> 00:50:21,248
Oh, good to know.
1113
00:50:21,332 --> 00:50:27,129
Well, Human Resources
needs you two to sign these.
1114
00:50:32,561 --> 00:50:33,811
A love contract?
1115
00:50:33,896 --> 00:50:34,987
Yes.
1116
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,537
When employees
embark on a relationship,
1117
00:50:37,622 --> 00:50:39,922
it's policy for us to confirm,
in writing,
1118
00:50:40,007 --> 00:50:42,801
that the relationship
is consensual.
1119
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,926
We in H.R. just want to avoid
problems later.
1120
00:50:47,010 --> 00:50:51,023
Sometimes romances
don't work out.
1121
00:51:03,468 --> 00:51:04,781
Good.
1122
00:51:04,866 --> 00:51:07,467
Good. I hope you two
patch things up.
1123
00:51:07,672 --> 00:51:10,164
This is the first step.
