00:06:35,133 --> 00:06:36,526
[ping]
177
00:06:36,570 --> 00:06:38,180
I heard she didn't even
have seniority.
178
00:06:38,223 --> 00:06:40,269
She just jumped past
other Black partners
179
00:06:40,312 --> 00:06:42,053
to become our name partner.
It's crazy.
180
00:06:42,097 --> 00:06:43,141
-[pinging]
-MAN: Diane doesn't give a shit
181
00:06:43,185 --> 00:06:44,447
about this firm's legacy.
182
00:06:44,491 --> 00:06:46,318
MAN 2:
Diane is clueless.
183
00:06:46,362 --> 00:06:48,408
-And yet, somehow,
she's the one in charge? -[laughs]
184
00:06:48,451 --> 00:06:50,322
-[ping]
-WOMAN: Liz needs to do something about this.
185
00:06:50,366 --> 00:06:52,150
-[ping]
-MAN: Liz will never do it on her own.
186
00:06:52,194 --> 00:06:54,283
-We need to do something
ourselves. -[ping]
187
00:06:54,326 --> 00:06:56,372
MAN 2:
Some of us already are doing something by speaking up.
188
00:06:56,416 --> 00:06:58,330
-[ping]
-WOMAN: We just need to keep it going.
189
00:06:58,374 --> 00:07:01,246
-I know, look at Black Twitter,
it's exploding. -[ping]
190
00:07:01,290 --> 00:07:03,074
What is Black Twitter?
191
00:07:03,118 --> 00:07:04,336
What?
192
00:07:04,380 --> 00:07:05,468
What is Black Twitter?
193
00:07:06,861 --> 00:07:09,646
People on Twitter who are Black
and talk to each other.
194
00:07:09,690 --> 00:07:11,779
-How do I get on it?
-Uh, well,
195
00:07:11,822 --> 00:07:15,347
I could tell you,
but then I'd have to kill you.
196
00:07:15,391 --> 00:07:16,958
It's not just Diane.
That's bad enough,
197
00:07:17,001 --> 00:07:19,395
but did you hear
who Julius Cain represented?
198
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:21,005
MAN:
Oh, I know.
199
00:07:21,049 --> 00:07:22,529
Fucking Trumpite.
200
00:07:22,572 --> 00:07:24,444
Why the hell is he
even working here?
201
00:07:24,487 --> 00:07:26,533
-[ping]
-I don't have any problem with him working here.
202
00:07:26,576 --> 00:07:29,318
It's him representing
a white supremacist
203
00:07:29,361 --> 00:07:31,015
like Diane's husband.
204
00:07:31,059 --> 00:07:32,408
-What the fuck?
-[ping]
205
00:07:32,452 --> 00:07:35,019
I know.
Julius Cane is such a coon.
206
00:07:44,420 --> 00:07:45,987
[pinging]
207
00:07:47,945 --> 00:07:49,991
[pinging continues]
208
00:07:52,167 --> 00:07:53,951
[pinging]
209
00:07:57,041 --> 00:07:58,782
[quiet chatter]
210
00:07:58,826 --> 00:08:00,871
[pinging]
211
00:08:02,177 --> 00:08:04,222
-[murmuring]
-[pinging continues]
212
00:08:12,100 --> 00:08:14,145
[pinging]
213
00:08:15,582 --> 00:08:16,974
Devin. [knocks on door]
214
00:08:17,018 --> 00:08:18,410
You have a minute?
215
00:08:18,454 --> 00:08:20,848
Mr. Cain, hello. Yes.
216
00:08:20,891 --> 00:08:22,502
[Julius clears throat]
217
00:08:22,545 --> 00:08:23,938
What do you need?
218
00:08:25,113 --> 00:08:28,986
Do you know who
Anonymous Platypus is on our,
219
00:08:29,030 --> 00:08:32,163
-uh, new office app?
-Do I? No.
220
00:08:32,207 --> 00:08:34,165
There-there won't be
any repercussions.
221
00:08:34,209 --> 00:08:36,820
I, uh, I just want to ask him
a few questions.
222
00:08:36,864 --> 00:08:38,518
The app gives us anonymous
animal names
223
00:08:38,561 --> 00:08:40,476
if users don't sign in.
224
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,609
It allows more freedom and less
judgement when making comments.
225
00:08:42,652 --> 00:08:46,308
I understand, but there
has to be one Platypus, right?
226
00:08:46,351 --> 00:08:48,005
No. The computer switches
animals every day.
227
00:08:48,049 --> 00:08:49,877
So, today,
I'm Anonymous Chipmunk.
228
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,401
The day before,
I was Anonymous Giraffe.
229
00:08:52,444 --> 00:08:55,056
-Is there something wrong?
-No, no, no. No, no. Uh...
230
00:08:55,099 --> 00:08:57,580
-Just, uh... [clears throat]
-[pinging]
231
00:08:59,626 --> 00:09:01,410
DEVIN:
Oh, my God.
232
00:09:01,453 --> 00:09:02,716
I-I didn't see that.
233
00:09:02,759 --> 00:09:05,327
I'm sorry, Mr. Cain.
This is not cool.
234
00:09:05,370 --> 00:09:07,372
Yeah, well, if you see them,
you let them know.
235
00:09:07,416 --> 00:09:08,678
Oh, I'll do more than that.
236
00:09:11,202 --> 00:09:12,682
[pings]
237
00:09:12,726 --> 00:09:14,858
That should end it, sir.
238
00:09:21,517 --> 00:09:23,563
[murmuring]
239
00:09:27,741 --> 00:09:30,526
-It's a sham court, Your Honor.
-Anything that he has to say, this, no...
240
00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:33,224
-It pretends to judge
matters fairly... -This is a meritless case.
241
00:09:33,268 --> 00:09:34,443
-...but the so-called judge...
-There was a contract...
242
00:09:34,486 --> 00:09:36,140
No, no, no, no, no.
243
00:09:36,184 --> 00:09:38,316
-I am not going to
shout over you... -[arguing stops]
244
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,493
as my voice is not
at its best this morning.
245
00:09:41,537 --> 00:09:44,584
But what I will do,
if this continues,
246
00:09:44,627 --> 00:09:47,282
is hand out
my little contempt cards.
247
00:09:47,325 --> 00:09:49,240
The value goes up.
248
00:09:49,284 --> 00:09:52,243
It starts at $500, $1,000...
249
00:09:52,287 --> 00:09:53,636
[gasps] $10,000.
250
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:55,246
Wow, I really love that.
251
00:09:55,290 --> 00:09:57,597
FARLEY:
Sir, let your lawyer speak.
252
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,339
Mr. Schultz, didn't your clients
sign a mediation contract?
253
00:10:01,383 --> 00:10:02,863
He signed this, Your Honor.
254
00:10:02,906 --> 00:10:05,169
I'm not sure
I'd call it a contract.
255
00:10:05,213 --> 00:10:06,997
What is that?
256
00:10:07,041 --> 00:10:10,914
It's a contract written on the
back of a Chinese take-out menu.
257
00:10:10,958 --> 00:10:13,656
Your Honor, the contract could
have been chiseled on a rock.
258
00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:16,659
The terms are explicit
and signed by both parties.
259
00:10:16,703 --> 00:10:19,531
Certainly true, Mr. Schultz.
260
00:10:19,575 --> 00:10:21,316
Ridiculous, but true.
261
00:10:21,359 --> 00:10:24,493
Are, are you disputing that this
is your client's signature?
262
00:10:24,536 --> 00:10:27,496
-SCHULTZ: No, but I...
-LIZ: We move to dismiss.
263
00:10:27,539 --> 00:10:30,934
Mr. Vitar is bound by the terms
of the arbitration agreement
264
00:10:30,978 --> 00:10:33,937
to honor
Judge Wackner's decision.
265
00:10:33,981 --> 00:10:35,765
-Judge Wackner?
-Sorry.
266
00:10:35,809 --> 00:10:36,940
No. Mr. Wackner.
267
00:10:38,681 --> 00:10:41,902
Uh-huh. Mr. Wackner,
do you purport to be a judge?
268
00:10:41,945 --> 00:10:44,644
I don't purport
to be anything. I am...
269
00:10:44,687 --> 00:10:47,211
I judge facts.
In that sense, I'm a judge.
270
00:10:47,255 --> 00:10:50,301
My client was told
he had to address Mr. Wackner
271
00:10:50,345 --> 00:10:51,694
as "Your Honor."
272
00:10:51,738 --> 00:10:53,261
"Your Honor" is a term
of endearment.
273
00:10:53,304 --> 00:10:57,134
Like the "Queen of Soul,"
or "Captain Crunch"
274
00:10:57,178 --> 00:10:58,788
or "Count Chocula."
275
00:10:58,832 --> 00:11:01,138
-And who are you?
-Uh, I'm Mr...
276
00:11:01,182 --> 00:11:03,184
Uh, I'm Judge...
Mr. Wackner's law clerk...
277
00:11:03,227 --> 00:11:05,229
LIZ: Uh, okay.
Legally, it doesn't matter
278
00:11:05,273 --> 00:11:08,058
how Mr. Wackner was addressed
during arbitration.
279
00:11:08,102 --> 00:11:11,148
The point is that
Mr. Vitar himself
280
00:11:11,192 --> 00:11:13,716
gave him decision-making
authority when he signed...
281
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,066
On the understanding
the man was sane.
282
00:11:16,110 --> 00:11:19,200
Your Honor,
Mr. Wackner is of unsound mind.
283
00:11:20,636 --> 00:11:21,898
LIZ:
Your Honor, he's joking.
284
00:11:21,942 --> 00:11:24,596
Mr. Wackner, if you lose,
285
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,947
your court will be disbanded,
286
00:11:26,990 --> 00:11:29,601
and you will pay $800,000.
287
00:11:29,645 --> 00:11:31,429
You really think
this is the time to joke?
288
00:11:31,473 --> 00:11:33,867
LIZ:
We agree, Your Honor,
289
00:11:33,910 --> 00:11:37,261
and we ask that you dismiss
this case, based on its merits.
290
00:11:37,305 --> 00:11:39,916
Your Honor, at the very minimum,
you should hear evidence
291
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,657
on Mr. Wackner's unsound mind.
292
00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:43,572
I agree.
I'll hear the evidence.
293
00:11:44,834 --> 00:11:46,096
It won't take very long.
294
00:11:48,882 --> 00:11:52,015
This was your first time
attempting to resolve a dispute
295
00:11:52,059 --> 00:11:53,930
-through Mr. Wackner,
is that correct? -It is.
296
00:11:53,974 --> 00:11:56,498
Uh, I wouldn't have gone
anywhere near him
297
00:11:56,541 --> 00:11:58,326
-if I knew what a psycho ward
he was running... -Objection.
298
00:11:58,369 --> 00:11:59,980
Sustained.
299
00:12:00,023 --> 00:12:02,286
What aspects of Mr. Wackner's
so-called court
300
00:12:02,330 --> 00:12:03,287
made you feel that way?
301
00:12:03,331 --> 00:12:04,941
Oh. Where to start?
302
00:12:04,985 --> 00:12:06,421
A scoreboard, um...
303
00:12:06,464 --> 00:12:09,685
Quizzing potential jurors
on state capitals?
304
00:12:09,729 --> 00:12:11,034
-WACKNER: Oh, Christ.
-What, if any,
305
00:12:11,078 --> 00:12:13,341
specific instructions
were you given
306
00:12:13,384 --> 00:12:15,038
as to appropriate wardrobe?
307
00:12:15,082 --> 00:12:16,300
I was told to wear a moose suit.
308
00:12:16,344 --> 00:12:18,085
I'm sorry. What?
309
00:12:18,128 --> 00:12:20,000
I had to wear a moose suit.
310
00:12:20,043 --> 00:12:22,916
A moose suit.
What is a moose suit?
311
00:12:22,959 --> 00:12:25,788
It's a suit that looks
like a moose.
312
00:12:25,832 --> 00:12:27,790
It has a straw hat and a basket.
313
00:12:27,834 --> 00:12:30,924
SCHULTZ: Who told you
to wear a moose suit?
314
00:12:30,967 --> 00:12:32,839
Uh, the court officer.
He said it came from Wackner.
315
00:12:32,882 --> 00:12:34,188
Objection, hearsay.
316
00:12:34,231 --> 00:12:35,145
Your Honor,
because we're not relying
317
00:12:35,189 --> 00:12:37,191
solely on hearsay,
318
00:12:37,234 --> 00:12:39,410
-we'd like to introduce videos.
-Your Honor,
319
00:12:39,454 --> 00:12:41,978
we submitted
the official court transcripts.
320
00:12:42,022 --> 00:12:44,720
-This is the first we are
hearing about videos. -That's odd.
321
00:12:44,764 --> 00:12:46,591
They were recorded by one
of Ms. Reddick's own clients.
322
00:12:46,635 --> 00:12:48,028
-Who?
-Del Cooper,
323
00:12:48,071 --> 00:12:49,681
for a streaming reality show.
324
00:12:56,645 --> 00:12:58,255
COOPER:
There she is.
325
00:12:58,299 --> 00:12:59,735
Hey.
326
00:12:59,779 --> 00:13:01,519
How we doing?
327
00:13:03,695 --> 00:13:04,827
Okay.
328
00:13:04,871 --> 00:13:06,394
How am I doing?
329
00:13:06,437 --> 00:13:08,744
When were you gonna tell me?
330
00:13:08,788 --> 00:13:11,878
What? That you, uh,
didn't like Cajun?
331
00:13:11,921 --> 00:13:15,751
No. The cameras
in Wackner's courtroom.
332
00:13:15,795 --> 00:13:18,058
You're doing a reality
show about my client?
333
00:13:18,101 --> 00:13:20,103
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
334
00:13:20,147 --> 00:13:21,713
The People's Court
meets Mr. Wizard.
335
00:13:21,757 --> 00:13:22,932
Amazing, right?
336
00:13:22,976 --> 00:13:24,629
But he's my client.
337
00:13:24,673 --> 00:13:26,762
You, you got him through me.
338
00:13:26,806 --> 00:13:28,503
Whoa, whoa, whoa, baby.
That--
339
00:13:28,546 --> 00:13:30,853
That makes it sound
like I was using you.
340
00:13:30,897 --> 00:13:33,421
I met him in your elevator.
That's all.
341
00:13:33,464 --> 00:13:35,031
You need some of this.
342
00:13:35,075 --> 00:13:36,685
N-No. No, no, no. You didn't...
343
00:13:36,728 --> 00:13:38,078
You didn't ask me.
344
00:13:38,121 --> 00:13:39,993
Liz... [chuckling]

You're not in it.

Forget it.
526
00:21:59,405 --> 00:22:01,102
I was joking.
527
00:22:11,765 --> 00:22:13,767
WOMAN:
Liz Reddick's office.
528
00:22:13,810 --> 00:22:16,073
Hi. Can I get time with Liz
later on today?
529
00:22:16,117 --> 00:22:17,597
Who's calling?
530
00:22:19,033 --> 00:22:20,991
It's Diane.

-No.
-Yeah.
541
00:24:13,669 --> 00:24:15,671
I finally had to ask Carmen
542
00:24:15,715 --> 00:24:18,326
how to silence
the notifications.
543
00:24:18,369 --> 00:24:20,023
All right. There you go.
544
00:24:20,067 --> 00:24:21,764
Permanently silenced.

Can I have a soda water?

00:24:25,376 --> 00:24:27,030
Thank you.
547
00:24:27,074 --> 00:24:30,294
Do you think that Dawnk
actually increases productivity?
548
00:24:30,338 --> 00:24:32,427
No.
549
00:24:32,471 --> 00:24:34,951
But I know that the associates
would riot
550
00:24:34,995 --> 00:24:36,953
if we got rid of it. So...
551
00:24:36,997 --> 00:24:38,520
What do the partners think?
552
00:24:38,564 --> 00:24:40,435

00:24:47,747 --> 00:24:48,878
Well...
558
00:24:50,793 --> 00:24:52,969
Thanks for sitting
down with me, Liz.
559
00:24:53,013 --> 00:24:54,667
Of course.
560
00:24:56,407 --> 00:24:58,497
So, you're wondering
about the meeting today?
561
00:24:58,540 --> 00:25:00,499
-I am.
-Yeah.
562
00:25:00,542 --> 00:25:02,326
Uh, it was about Julius.
563
00:25:02,370 --> 00:25:04,241
He's being harassed on Dawnk.
564
00:25:05,852 --> 00:25:08,550
Okay, and I couldn't be
a part of that?
565
00:25:08,594 --> 00:25:12,032
He's being harassed because
he's defending your husband.
566
00:25:15,601 --> 00:25:17,516
Well, that's unfortunate.
567
00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:20,954
We've represented people
far worse than Kurt,
568
00:25:20,997 --> 00:25:22,956
who, by the way,
was found innocent.
569
00:25:22,999 --> 00:25:24,653
I'm not saying that he wasn't.
570
00:25:24,697 --> 00:25:26,220
But...
571
00:25:26,263 --> 00:25:28,091
January 6.
572
00:25:28,135 --> 00:25:30,833
I mean,
we watched the Confederate flag
573
00:25:30,877 --> 00:25:32,966
make its way
into the Capitol building.
574
00:25:34,794 --> 00:25:36,796
You know, those people that
575
00:25:36,839 --> 00:25:38,928
Kurt didn't want
to turn over to the FBI,
576
00:25:38,972 --> 00:25:40,582
those people...
577
00:25:40,626 --> 00:25:43,454
They don't even want us alive.
578
00:25:43,498 --> 00:25:45,544
Well, not all of them.
579
00:25:47,328 --> 00:25:49,635
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean that. I...
580
00:25:49,678 --> 00:25:52,333
certainly not defending
those people.
581
00:25:52,376 --> 00:25:54,378
They're all despicable traitors.
582
00:25:54,422 --> 00:25:57,251
And now, that's what people
are saying about Julius.
583
00:25:59,775 --> 00:26:01,124
And me?
584
00:26:06,129 --> 00:26:07,478
Diane, I...
585
00:26:07,522 --> 00:26:09,785
-Am I being pushed out?
-No.
586
00:26:09,829 --> 00:26:11,308
Not pushed out.
587
00:26:11,352 --> 00:26:13,180
You're a name partner.
You can't be pushed out.
588
00:26:13,223 --> 00:26:14,616
But...?
589
00:26:17,314 --> 00:26:21,623
The partners just think you
should do the right thing.
590
00:26:27,803 --> 00:26:29,283
And step aside?
591
00:26:31,590 --> 00:26:33,766
No. Stay in the firm.
592
00:26:33,809 --> 00:26:36,682
Stay as an equity partner,
593
00:26:36,725 --> 00:26:39,598
just step back
from your managerial role.
594
00:26:48,258 --> 00:26:50,957
Liz, I-- I pull in
the big clients.
595
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,785
I...
596
00:26:52,828 --> 00:26:54,656
I get the billable hours.
597
00:26:54,700 --> 00:26:56,832
But still,
"maybe you should step aside."
598
00:26:59,008 --> 00:27:01,663
Weren't we going to form a firm
599
00:27:01,707 --> 00:27:03,665
led by women?
600
00:27:05,580 --> 00:27:07,669
And I...
601
00:27:07,713 --> 00:27:09,497
hope that it will be.
602
00:27:09,540 --> 00:27:10,585
But Black women?
603
00:27:12,718 --> 00:27:14,894
Diane, I...
604
00:27:14,937 --> 00:27:17,113
I am not voting against you.
605
00:27:17,157 --> 00:27:19,115
I promised you that I wouldn't.
606
00:27:19,159 --> 00:27:22,075
But there is growing anger here.
607
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,818
They want to address it
at the next partners' meeting.
608
00:27:27,036 --> 00:27:29,082
So just think about it.
609
00:27:30,387 --> 00:27:32,041
You're a good person.
610
00:27:41,529 --> 00:27:43,618
No, I'm not.
611
00:27:45,968 --> 00:27:48,014
Yes, you are.

00:27:57,719 --> 00:27:59,373
What do you want to do?
614
00:27:59,416 --> 00:28:01,244
What do Iwant to do?
615
00:28:02,811 --> 00:28:05,031
I want to keep my name
on the letterhead.
616
00:28:06,336 --> 00:28:09,122
I want to keep
what I fought for.
617
00:28:09,165 --> 00:28:11,733
Against gender
and then age discrimination.
618
00:28:11,777 --> 00:28:13,256
I deserve that position.
619
00:28:13,300 --> 00:28:15,694
And I don't want to step aside.
620
00:28:15,737 --> 00:28:16,782
Then don't.
621
00:28:18,305 --> 00:28:20,742
Diane, this is the first time
622
00:28:20,786 --> 00:28:22,701
I've ever heard you
sound defeated.
623
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:27,749
Because I can't win this.
624
00:28:27,793 --> 00:28:29,359
-Sure you can.
-No, I can't.
625
00:28:29,403 --> 00:28:30,447
You just don't want to.
626
00:28:30,491 --> 00:28:32,754
It's bigger than that.
627
00:28:32,798 --> 00:28:36,889
To fight this would go against
every fiber of my being.
628
00:28:36,932 --> 00:28:38,847
Every fiber in your being
is about winning.
629
00:28:38,891 --> 00:28:40,414
If you don't try to win,
630
00:28:40,457 --> 00:28:42,111
then you might as well
give up on everything.
631
00:28:42,155 --> 00:28:43,939
Kurt, I appreciate
the pep talk,
632
00:28:43,983 --> 00:28:45,724
but I don't think
the way you think.
633
00:28:45,767 --> 00:28:50,206
I cannot put my interests
above a whole group of people--
634
00:28:50,250 --> 00:28:52,208
Black people--
635
00:28:52,252 --> 00:28:54,689
just so I can keep my position.
636
00:28:54,733 --> 00:28:56,735
No, I'm saying you are talented.
637
00:28:56,778 --> 00:28:59,215
If someone is gonna beat you,
let them beat you,
638
00:28:59,259 --> 00:29:01,783
but with talent.
639
00:29:01,827 --> 00:29:03,785
But a Black person's talent
640
00:29:03,829 --> 00:29:06,353
has always been valued
less than mine.
641
00:29:09,182 --> 00:29:10,270
Then you're right.
642
00:29:10,313 --> 00:29:11,575
Give up.
643
00:29:11,619 --> 00:29:13,099
Leave the firm.
644
00:29:13,142 --> 00:29:14,753
They don't want you.
645
00:29:20,236 --> 00:29:21,498
[grunts]
646
00:29:30,072 --> 00:29:31,944
Kurt...
647
00:29:36,470 --> 00:29:38,907
You don't think
the election was stolen, do you?
648
00:29:41,997 --> 00:29:44,086
Kurt?
649
00:30:21,471 --> 00:30:22,864
Well?
650
00:30:24,083 --> 00:30:25,780
What do you think?
651
00:30:25,824 --> 00:30:27,738
About your work?
652
00:30:27,782 --> 00:30:29,697
Yeah, shh. He's sleeping.
653
00:30:29,740 --> 00:30:31,264
Yes.
654
00:30:31,307 --> 00:30:33,962
I think you know what I think.
655
00:30:34,963 --> 00:30:37,836
No, I-I don't think I do.
656
00:30:37,879 --> 00:30:39,533
I think you're brilliant.
657
00:30:39,576 --> 00:30:43,842
I think any law firm
would be insane to let you go.
658
00:30:45,365 --> 00:30:47,062
That's not you.
659
00:30:47,106 --> 00:30:49,108
That's you telling me
what I want to hear.
660
00:30:51,719 --> 00:30:53,939
You want to know
what I really think?
661
00:30:53,982 --> 00:30:55,984
I do. Tell me.
662
00:30:56,028 --> 00:30:59,988
All my life,
I was told to step aside.
663
00:31:00,032 --> 00:31:03,339
I was in law school.
I had a baby.
664
00:31:03,383 --> 00:31:05,385
And I was told
I should step aside,
665
00:31:05,428 --> 00:31:07,953
so that a man could take
my position.
666
00:31:07,996 --> 00:31:10,259
I was told to step aside
667
00:31:10,303 --> 00:31:13,872
when Jimmy Carter appointed me
to the Court of Appeals.
668
00:31:13,915 --> 00:31:16,744
And the same
with the Supreme Court.
669
00:31:18,267 --> 00:31:20,008
Here's the thing...
670
00:31:20,052 --> 00:31:23,577
Don't step aside because
someone wants you to.
671
00:31:23,620 --> 00:31:26,449
Don't step aside for politics.
672
00:31:26,493 --> 00:31:29,583
Men are always asking women
to step aside
673
00:31:29,626 --> 00:31:31,237
so a man can go first.
674
00:31:32,281 --> 00:31:35,371
Even though I'm being asked
to step aside
675
00:31:35,415 --> 00:31:38,287
so that a Black person
can take my place?
676
00:31:38,331 --> 00:31:41,725
Can you still do something
for women?
677
00:31:42,988 --> 00:31:44,598
Yes.
678
00:31:44,641 --> 00:31:46,948
[chuckling]:
Then... then do it.
679
00:31:46,992 --> 00:31:49,211
Don't step aside.
680
00:31:49,255 --> 00:31:51,997
Whatever it takes,
don't step aside.
681
00:32:11,625 --> 00:32:13,409
So how's business?
682
00:32:13,453 --> 00:32:15,020
You tell me.
683
00:32:15,063 --> 00:32:17,587
Well, no more lawsuits.
684
00:32:17,631 --> 00:32:19,589
And you had your best year
this year.
685
00:32:19,633 --> 00:32:21,069
Yeah, who knew?
686
00:32:21,113 --> 00:32:23,463
Pandemic years
are great for fracking.
687
00:32:23,506 --> 00:32:27,206
And being in this firm helps
with Democratic influencers.
688
00:32:27,249 --> 00:32:29,599
Yeah, I see that.
689
00:32:29,643 --> 00:32:31,906
So, Bob, I asked you here today
690
00:32:31,950 --> 00:32:34,953
because the firm is undergoing
a fairly major change.
691
00:32:34,996 --> 00:32:38,826
I'm stepping down as a partner,
692
00:32:38,869 --> 00:32:41,829
so I won't be meeting with you
day-to-day on your cases.
693
00:32:41,872 --> 00:32:43,352
-What?
-Yes.
694
00:32:43,396 --> 00:32:47,052
I'm sorry. Madeline will
be handling your cases.
695
00:32:47,095 --> 00:32:49,271
She's standing right over there.
696
00:32:50,272 --> 00:32:51,621
Wait.
697
00:32:51,665 --> 00:32:53,188
I don't get this. Who is she?
698
00:32:53,232 --> 00:32:55,408
Uh, she's a partner.
699
00:32:55,451 --> 00:32:57,671
She's very good.
700
00:32:57,714 --> 00:33:00,935
I'll-I'll still be
handling your cases.
701
00:33:00,979 --> 00:33:03,242
I just won't have
daily contact with you.
702
00:33:03,285 --> 00:33:05,244
But I'm more comfortable
with you.
703
00:33:05,287 --> 00:33:07,246
I don't won't to start over
with someone new.
704

but I'm not.

-Your Honor, wait...
-No. No.
789
00:36:22,658 --> 00:36:25,487
Mr. Schultz, uh,
you have done an excellent job
790
00:36:25,531 --> 00:36:28,577
conveying what it's like to be a
litigant in Mr. Wackner's court,
791
00:36:28,621 --> 00:36:31,928
but much of what he does
is challenge convention,
792
00:36:31,972 --> 00:36:34,279
and in doing so,
streamlines the process.
793
00:36:34,322 --> 00:36:35,758
And for that, I give him credit.
794
00:36:35,802 --> 00:36:38,283
What is before this court
795
00:36:38,326 --> 00:36:41,503
is whether the parties will
be bound by his rulings.
796
00:36:41,547 --> 00:36:45,464
Given that they agreed
to be so bound,
797
00:36:45,507 --> 00:36:47,727
I don't think that
the plaintiff's evidence is...
798
00:36:47,770 --> 00:36:50,251
-Your Honor,
one quick amendment. -Quick.
799
00:36:50,295 --> 00:36:52,297
-Your Honor, you,
you have already ruled. -I want to hear.
800
00:36:52,340 --> 00:36:54,647
You determined that
Mr. Wackner is sound,
801
00:36:54,690 --> 00:36:56,692
but that doesn't mean
he's unbiased.
802
00:36:56,736 --> 00:36:59,521
He's already testified
that he is a biased mediator.
803
00:36:59,565 --> 00:37:01,784
-Oh, come on.
-He said it himself.
804
00:37:01,828 --> 00:37:03,482
Um...
805
00:37:03,525 --> 00:37:06,006
"I like to think of myself
as unbiased, but I'm not."

00:37:06,049 --> 00:37:08,008
-That's a direct quote.
-MARISSA: He said he battles
807
00:37:08,051 --> 00:37:09,792
his bias with these costumes.
808
00:37:09,836 --> 00:37:11,838
Yes, but we have
other proof of his bias.
809
00:37:11,881 --> 00:37:15,363

an opportunity to demonstrate.

Objection. Relevance.
What does it matter
827
00:37:56,186 --> 00:37:58,319
-whether she wrote it
down or not? -Copyright law requires
828
00:37:58,363 --> 00:38:00,278
that creative expression
be fixed

00:38:00,321 --> 00:38:01,757

830
00:38:01,801 --> 00:38:03,063
Yes, but fixed doesn't mean
written down.
831
00:38:03,106 --> 00:38:04,151
It just means recorded.
832
00:38:04,194 --> 00:38:05,500
And she's obviously done that,
833
00:38:05,544 --> 00:38:07,067

This is all confusing to me.
837
00:38:11,463 --> 00:38:13,247
Let me try to clarify,
Your Honor.
838
00:38:13,291 --> 00:38:15,815
This tape we just watched,
who recorded it?
839
00:38:15,858 --> 00:38:17,338
Did Trina record it?
840
00:38:17,382 --> 00:38:18,339
Well, no, but her boyfriend did.
841
00:38:18,383 --> 00:38:20,123
So isn't it true
842
00:38:20,167 --> 00:38:22,387
the person who fixed
the creative expression
843
00:38:22,430 --> 00:38:24,476
is the owner of the copyright?
844
00:38:24,519 --> 00:38:26,391
LIZ:
Objection. Beyond his expertise.
845
00:38:26,434 --> 00:38:28,654
Oh, uh,
I'll, I'll grant you that.
846
00:38:28,697 --> 00:38:30,308
And the question doesn't need
to be asked. That's true.
847
00:38:30,351 --> 00:38:32,962
So the owner of the copyright
is not the dancer.
848
00:38:33,006 --> 00:38:35,095
She didn't
write her choreography down.
849
00:38:35,138 --> 00:38:37,097
It's the person
who held the camera
850
00:38:37,140 --> 00:38:38,664
and recorded the choreography?
851
00:38:38,707 --> 00:38:42,015
Yes, which is why I paid
Russell Chuckwagon $40,000
852
00:38:42,058 --> 00:38:43,886
to insure this copyright.
853
00:38:43,930 --> 00:38:45,366
Who's Russell Chuckwagon?
854
00:38:45,410 --> 00:38:48,413
Tip-top Trina's
estranged boyfriend.
855
00:38:48,456 --> 00:38:49,979
FARLEY:
So you just ignored the boyfriend?
856
00:38:50,023 --> 00:38:51,372
Of course I ignored
the boyfriend.
857
00:38:51,416 --> 00:38:53,592
-Mr. Chuckwagon?
-Yes.
858
00:38:53,635 --> 00:38:55,985
The only reason
that video has any value
859
00:38:56,029 --> 00:38:57,683
is because of Trina's dance.
860
00:38:57,726 --> 00:39:01,600
The notion that he deserves
any consideration
861
00:39:01,643 --> 00:39:03,645
just because he happened
to be holding the camera...
862
00:39:03,689 --> 00:39:05,604
It-it makes the law an ass.
863
00:39:05,647 --> 00:39:09,390
As you can see, Mr. Wackner has
completely disregarded the law.
864
00:39:09,434 --> 00:39:12,567
Arbitrators are under no
obligation to follow the law
865
00:39:12,611 --> 00:39:14,395
unless the contract
stipulates to that,
866
00:39:14,439 --> 00:39:16,397
which it doesn't, in this case.
867
00:39:16,441 --> 00:39:20,053
More-Moreover,
Mr. Schultz's line of argument
868
00:39:20,096 --> 00:39:23,665
relies on laws with
disturbing racial implications.
869
00:39:23,709 --> 00:39:27,800
By requiring that art be
recorded before being owned,
870
00:39:27,843 --> 00:39:31,412
the law systematically
disadvantages Black jazz
871
00:39:31,456 --> 00:39:34,720
and bebop musicians,
as well as break dancers
872
00:39:34,763 --> 00:39:36,417
and flamenco artists...
873
00:39:36,461 --> 00:39:40,290
There are a whole slew
of gifted,
874
00:39:40,334 --> 00:39:42,423
often non-white people
875
00:39:42,467 --> 00:39:44,904
who specialize
in improvisational art.
876
00:39:44,947 --> 00:39:47,733
Do you... do you really

1051
00:47:26,191 --> 00:47:28,846
Look each other
in the eye and say,
1052
00:47:28,889 --> 00:47:32,240
"I respect and love you."
1053
00:47:32,284 --> 00:47:35,417
I respect and love you.
1054
00:47:36,636 --> 00:47:39,247
I... Oh, for fuck's sake.
1055
00:47:39,291 --> 00:47:41,206
I respect and love you.
1056
00:47:41,249 --> 00:47:42,468
Good.
1057
00:47:42,511 --> 00:47:44,122
Justice.
1058
00:48:02,314 --> 00:48:05,926
It's different for me
than it was for you.
1059
00:48:06,971 --> 00:48:08,537
What do you mean?
1060
00:48:08,581 --> 00:48:11,540
When you fought,
you fought against white males,
1061
00:48:11,584 --> 00:48:13,151
the dominant culture.
1062
00:48:13,194 --> 00:48:15,718
But for me,
I would be up against...
1063
00:48:15,762 --> 00:48:18,721
another dominated culture.
1064
00:48:18,765 --> 00:48:20,419
Black lawyers.
1065
00:48:22,508 --> 00:48:23,901
So what do I do?
1066
00:48:24,902 --> 00:48:26,381
[chuckles] I don't know.
1067
00:48:28,688 --> 00:48:31,386
If you knew that Obama
1068
00:48:31,430 --> 00:48:35,956
was going to nominate
a Black justice to replace you,
1069
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:37,566
would you have stepped aside?
1070
00:48:38,567 --> 00:48:39,786
No.
1071
00:48:39,829 --> 00:48:41,483
Why not?
1072
00:48:42,876 --> 00:48:45,357
Well, I know what I can do,
1073
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,316
but I-I don't know what
my replacement would do
1074
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,188
if he got nominated. I...
1075
00:48:50,231 --> 00:48:53,408
What you know is always better
than what might happen.
1076
00:48:53,452 --> 00:48:55,062
Mm.
1077
00:48:59,327 --> 00:49:00,633
What about Kurt?
1078
00:49:00,676 --> 00:49:02,983
What-what about him?
1079
00:49:03,027 --> 00:49:04,942
We don't agree about anything.
1080
00:49:06,508 --> 00:49:09,207
Well, I didn't agree on anything
with Scalia,
1081
00:49:09,250 --> 00:49:11,252
but I-I liked him.
1082
00:49:11,296 --> 00:49:12,993
Yeah. Why did you like him?
1083
00:49:13,037 --> 00:49:14,212
The opera?
1084
00:49:14,255 --> 00:49:15,691
No.
1085
00:49:15,735 --> 00:49:16,997
What, then?
1086
00:49:19,739 --> 00:49:21,001
He made me laugh.
1087
00:49:22,481 --> 00:49:23,699
That's it?
1088
00:49:25,353 --> 00:49:26,833
Yeah.
1089
00:49:26,876 --> 00:49:28,966
You certainly didn't agree
about abortion.
1090
00:49:29,009 --> 00:49:32,317
Oh. We-we violently disagreed
on abortion,
1091
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:34,145
and school prayer.
1092
00:49:34,188 --> 00:49:36,495
He was a nightmare
on everything.
1093
00:49:36,538 --> 00:49:38,584
He was a nightmare on diversity.
1094
00:49:38,627 --> 00:49:40,064
But...?
1095
00:49:40,107 --> 00:49:42,327
Well, it's... He was funny.
1096
00:49:42,370 --> 00:49:44,372
He made me laugh and...
1097
00:49:44,416 --> 00:49:46,679
so, we...
1098
00:49:46,722 --> 00:49:48,376
We had dinner together.
1099
00:49:48,420 --> 00:49:51,205
And you just wouldn't talk
about the political stuff?
1100
00:49:51,249 --> 00:49:53,120
Well, he teased me
1101
00:49:53,164 --> 00:49:54,817
and I teased him.
1102
00:49:56,167 --> 00:49:59,170
You know, life is too short
to fight over everything.
1103
00:49:59,213 --> 00:50:03,304
And, you're, you're,
you're right about opera.
1104
00:50:03,348 --> 00:50:05,350
Opera is good.
1105
00:50:05,393 --> 00:50:07,830
Food is good.
1106
00:50:07,874 --> 00:50:10,833
And his pasta...
1107
00:50:10,877 --> 00:50:12,574
was amazing.
1108
00:50:12,618 --> 00:50:14,794
His spaghetti carbonara.
1109
00:50:14,837 --> 00:50:16,970
Oh, my lord.
1110
00:50:17,014 --> 00:50:19,668
-You can't hate a man like that.
-[laughing]
1111
00:50:24,717 --> 00:50:28,025
My husband is going to work
for the NRA.
1112
00:50:29,983 --> 00:50:32,681
You ever read
Scalia's 2000 dissent
1113
00:50:32,725 --> 00:50:35,684
on Stenberg v. Carhart?
1114
00:50:36,990 --> 00:50:39,079
Working for the NRA
1115
00:50:39,123 --> 00:50:40,907
is child's play.
1116
00:50:42,474 --> 00:50:44,389
You know, you like who you like.
1117
00:50:45,564 --> 00:50:47,348
I don't like bland people.
1118
00:50:47,392 --> 00:50:49,133
And a lot of the people
1119
00:50:49,176 --> 00:50:51,526
who agree with me politically
are bland.
1120
00:51:05,888 --> 00:51:07,716
Thank you.
1121
00:51:30,391 --> 00:51:31,914
Did you have a nightmare?
1122
00:51:32,872 --> 00:51:34,613
No, a dream.
1123
00:51:35,918 --> 00:51:37,311
About?
1124
00:51:37,355 --> 00:51:39,270
You and me.
1125
00:51:40,619 --> 00:51:42,011
What was it?
1126
00:51:43,143 --> 00:51:44,623
Me...
1127
00:51:44,666 --> 00:51:46,625
close to you,
1128
00:51:46,668 --> 00:51:48,583
holding you like this.
1129
00:51:54,328 --> 00:51:57,897
Do you want me
to not take the NRA job?
1130
00:52:00,987 --> 00:52:04,643
No. I want you to take it
and be happy.
1131
00:52:06,645 --> 00:52:08,299
-And then I'll sue you.
-[chuckles]
