Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:14,318 --> 00:00:16,799
So what do we do now?
2
00:00:16,799 --> 00:00:18,105
We wait.
3
00:00:18,105 --> 00:00:20,759
If we see a duck, shoot.
4
00:00:20,759 --> 00:00:24,024
We'’re just going to hang out
in an igloo all day and wait?
5
00:00:24,024 --> 00:00:26,156
It isn'’t an igloo,
it'’s a blind.
6
00:00:26,156 --> 00:00:27,418
And, Tommy,
quite frankly,
7
00:00:27,418 --> 00:00:30,117
for somebody who begged
to come along,
8
00:00:30,117 --> 00:00:32,249
you'’ve done nothing
but complain.
9
00:00:32,249 --> 00:00:33,250
I'’ve got good reason
to complain.
10
00:00:33,250 --> 00:00:34,773
I'’m freezing my balls off.
11
00:00:34,773 --> 00:00:37,428
Oh, please. You should be
happy there'’s no snow.
12
00:00:37,428 --> 00:00:40,170
[gasps]
What the hell?!
13
00:00:40,170 --> 00:00:42,129
Look!
14
00:00:42,129 --> 00:00:44,870
HARRY:
Oh, my God, it'’s a tiger.
15
00:00:44,870 --> 00:00:46,959
[gunshot]Hey!
16
00:00:46,959 --> 00:00:50,398
That I want on my wall.For God'’s sake,
you can'’t shoot at that!
17
00:00:50,398 --> 00:00:52,661
Why the hell not?
We'’re hunting.
Tommy!
18
00:00:52,661 --> 00:00:55,533
Did you hit him?No.
19
00:00:55,533 --> 00:00:57,492
Tommy, you can'’t shoot
the damn tiger.
20
00:00:57,492 --> 00:00:59,929
That thing probably escaped
from that zoo or something.
21
00:00:59,929 --> 00:01:01,496
I thought they got them all.
22
00:01:01,496 --> 00:01:03,585
Well, clearly they didn'’t.[tiger snarls]
23
00:01:03,585 --> 00:01:06,675
No!
24
00:01:06,675 --> 00:01:09,112
I don'’t even see him anymore.
He run off?
25
00:01:09,112 --> 00:01:10,809
He'’s probably
in the bushes.
26
00:01:10,809 --> 00:01:12,115
Look, I'’m not going to hang out
27
00:01:12,115 --> 00:01:13,464
in an igloo all day,
with frozen balls--
28
00:01:13,464 --> 00:01:15,640
Come on,
we got to go report this.
29
00:01:28,305 --> 00:01:30,873
You see the size
of him, Harry?
30
00:01:30,873 --> 00:01:34,877
So majestic, so
beautiful, so...
31
00:01:34,877 --> 00:01:37,532
Could you imagine the joy of
slaying a beast like that?
32
00:01:37,532 --> 00:01:39,403
I'’ll take the duck.
33
00:01:39,403 --> 00:01:41,318
Put your safety
on, cowboy.
34
00:01:43,581 --> 00:01:45,496
[knocking]
35
00:01:49,239 --> 00:01:50,458
Farmer'’s daughter?
36
00:01:50,458 --> 00:01:52,808
Can I help you?We'’re the hunters
37
00:01:52,808 --> 00:01:54,244
who leased your land
through Hardy'’s.
38
00:01:54,244 --> 00:01:55,680
I imagine you
heard the shots.
39
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,726
You know you got a tiger
running loose out there?
40
00:01:57,726 --> 00:01:59,119
There'’s--
there'’s a tiger out there?
41
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:00,424
Yeah, he'’s big.
42
00:02:00,424 --> 00:02:02,383
And he'’s not hawking
frosted flakes.
43
00:02:02,383 --> 00:02:04,950
He'’s probably one of
the escapees we'’ve
been reading about,
44
00:02:04,950 --> 00:02:06,952
but he'’s a lot less
dead than reported.
45
00:02:15,309 --> 00:02:17,311
It was about 11:30 or so.
46
00:02:17,311 --> 00:02:19,704
I'’d just gone to bed,
when I heard a noise.
47
00:02:19,704 --> 00:02:21,010
And what happened
next, Mr. Gerson?
48
00:02:21,010 --> 00:02:22,925
At first I thought
maybe a raccoon
49
00:02:22,925 --> 00:02:25,536
had got into the kitchen
through the doggie door.
50
00:02:25,536 --> 00:02:27,277
But it was no raccoon.
51
00:02:27,277 --> 00:02:28,931
It was a woman dressed
in a costume.
52
00:02:28,931 --> 00:02:31,586
Do you see that woman
in the courtroom today?
53
00:02:31,586 --> 00:02:33,022
I do. The defendant.
54
00:02:33,022 --> 00:02:35,807
Did she say what she
was doing in your home?
55
00:02:35,807 --> 00:02:38,245
She didn'’t have to.I'’m calling the police.
56
00:02:43,598 --> 00:02:46,166
When I regained consciousness,
I was in the hospital.
57
00:02:46,166 --> 00:02:50,170
Broken nose, broken jaw,
fractured skull, broken ribs.
58
00:02:50,170 --> 00:02:53,173
And Mr. Gerson, are you
absolutely sure
59
00:02:53,173 --> 00:02:55,610
that the woman who assaulted you
in your home that evening
60
00:02:55,610 --> 00:02:59,179
is this woman
sitting right here?I'’m absolutely sure.
61
00:02:59,179 --> 00:03:01,093
Thank you, sir.
62
00:03:08,318 --> 00:03:10,364
That'’s your wife?My ex-wife, yeah.
63
00:03:11,930 --> 00:03:13,454
This is before
you beat her up?
64
00:03:15,325 --> 00:03:17,371
[murmuring]
65
00:03:18,633 --> 00:03:20,156
After.
66
00:03:22,027 --> 00:03:23,899
I dispute having done that.
67
00:03:23,899 --> 00:03:26,815
You were arrested for doing it.No. The charges were dropped.
68
00:03:26,815 --> 00:03:28,773
Because your wife
refused to testify.
69
00:03:28,773 --> 00:03:31,080
Primarily because she was
too afraid you'’d do it again.
70
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,429
Objection.JUDGE: Sustained.
71
00:03:32,429 --> 00:03:34,997
Look, I got into an argument
with my ex-wife.
72
00:03:34,997 --> 00:03:37,434
It got physical.
But I never did that.
73
00:03:37,434 --> 00:03:39,871
As far as I know she did it to
herself to get me in trouble.
74
00:03:39,871 --> 00:03:41,786
She did that to herself?
75
00:03:44,136 --> 00:03:47,357
Got it.
76
00:04:02,154 --> 00:04:03,852
Excuse me.
77
00:04:03,852 --> 00:04:06,898
I don'’t mean to intrude,
but aren'’t you a lawyer?
78
00:04:06,898 --> 00:04:09,336
Is it that obvious?
79
00:04:09,336 --> 00:04:10,772
Oh, I'’ve just seen
you on television.
80
00:04:10,772 --> 00:04:12,295
What about me?
81
00:04:12,295 --> 00:04:13,905
Tommy Jefferson.
82
00:04:13,905 --> 00:04:15,864
Can I talk to you for a second?
83
00:04:15,864 --> 00:04:19,389
Um, actually, I'’m just
here to shoot ducks.
84
00:04:19,389 --> 00:04:20,738
Please.
85
00:04:20,738 --> 00:04:22,610
It'’s really important.
86
00:04:23,654 --> 00:04:26,614
Oh, balls.
87
00:04:26,614 --> 00:04:30,922
I could be technically guilty,
slightly, of kidnapping.
88
00:04:30,922 --> 00:04:33,360
Perhaps false imprisonment.
89
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,101
"Slightly kidnapping"?
"False imprisonment"?
90
00:04:36,101 --> 00:04:38,539
Well, the truth is,
he came to me.
91
00:04:38,539 --> 00:04:40,932
I just... I took him in.
92
00:04:43,152 --> 00:04:46,329
Okay...
93
00:04:46,329 --> 00:04:47,852
We'’ll go in.
94
00:04:47,852 --> 00:04:49,724
I'’ll close the door.
95
00:04:49,724 --> 00:04:51,334
You know, just in case.
96
00:04:51,334 --> 00:04:53,118
I-- I don'’t want to...
97
00:04:57,993 --> 00:05:00,648
This is kind of, um,
98
00:05:00,648 --> 00:05:02,389
a safe room.
I don'’t normally...
99
00:05:04,695 --> 00:05:06,175
Hey, Wenty?
100
00:05:08,699 --> 00:05:11,485
Wenty, are you in there?
101
00:05:11,485 --> 00:05:12,529
[toilet flushing]
102
00:05:13,661 --> 00:05:15,489
He'’ll be right out.
103
00:05:19,188 --> 00:05:21,408
Hi, sweetie.HARRY: What the...?
104
00:05:21,408 --> 00:05:22,496
[gun cocking]
105
00:05:22,496 --> 00:05:25,934
[grunting]
106
00:05:25,934 --> 00:05:30,025
This is Harry
and this is Tommy.
107
00:05:30,025 --> 00:05:32,462
Meet Wentworth Beaumont
the Third.
108
00:05:32,462 --> 00:05:36,118
He'’s perfectly docile.
I'’ve had him since...
109
00:05:37,293 --> 00:05:39,251
He just waved "hello,"
by the way.
110
00:05:39,251 --> 00:05:42,298
He knows some sign language
and so do I.
111
00:05:42,298 --> 00:05:44,387
I'’m a speech pathologist
by trade.
112
00:05:44,387 --> 00:05:46,520
He escaped with
the other animals,
113
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,260
and it'’s been on the news
114
00:05:48,260 --> 00:05:50,045
that they'’re still looking
for the gorilla.
115
00:05:50,045 --> 00:05:51,960
That would be him.
116
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,572
Oh, what'’s he doing?He'’s going
to rub your palm.
117
00:05:55,572 --> 00:05:59,054
That'’s his way
of introducing himself.
118
00:06:04,451 --> 00:06:06,757
Oh, gee.
119
00:06:06,757 --> 00:06:08,933
Okay, now you rub his.
120
00:06:08,933 --> 00:06:10,979
Really?
121
00:06:10,979 --> 00:06:14,112
I'’m so scared.
122
00:06:14,112 --> 00:06:15,592
He'’s an ape.
123
00:06:16,637 --> 00:06:18,334
Okay, here you go.
124
00:06:18,334 --> 00:06:20,423
He likes you.
125
00:06:20,423 --> 00:06:21,685
Oh, yeah.
126
00:06:23,252 --> 00:06:25,167
Oh, he says you'’re scared.
127
00:06:25,167 --> 00:06:28,257
Huh. He'’s a perceptive ape.
128
00:06:28,257 --> 00:06:31,086
Natalie, what is
your end game here?
129
00:06:31,086 --> 00:06:34,611
This is a gorilla.
130
00:06:34,611 --> 00:06:38,702
Well, I'’m...
I'’m not really sure.
131
00:06:38,702 --> 00:06:42,967
I think that my endgame
is... is custody.
132
00:06:42,967 --> 00:06:45,143
Custody?
133
00:06:45,143 --> 00:06:48,233
I want him to go to a wildlife
sanctuary, but in order for me
134
00:06:48,233 --> 00:06:50,148
to have any say,
I need guardianship.
135
00:06:50,148 --> 00:06:53,021
And that'’s
where I need you.
136
00:06:53,021 --> 00:06:56,633
I want you to help me
adopt him.
137
00:07:05,903 --> 00:07:07,339
The ape doesn'’t belong to you.
138
00:07:07,339 --> 00:07:09,994
Well, the word "belong,"
that suggests property.
139
00:07:09,994 --> 00:07:11,822
And what I would
want to do is establish
140
00:07:11,822 --> 00:07:14,521
personhood for him.Beg pardon?
141
00:07:14,521 --> 00:07:17,437
Many people-- anthropologists,
legal scholars alike,
142
00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:20,091
they say that great apes
should be given personhood.
143
00:07:20,091 --> 00:07:21,832
I'’ve done the research,
144
00:07:21,832 --> 00:07:24,356
and several European countries,
they'’ve already done so.
145
00:07:24,356 --> 00:07:26,489
Yeah, but that'’s Europe.
146
00:07:26,489 --> 00:07:29,274
This is the United States
of America.
147
00:07:29,274 --> 00:07:33,453
We'’re not as evolved as either
Europe or, in some states, apes.
148
00:07:33,453 --> 00:07:37,369
He'’s actually been
living here a month?In-In the barn.
149
00:07:37,369 --> 00:07:38,893
He just comes here
during the day.
150
00:07:38,893 --> 00:07:42,331
Which is not ideal...This is a dangerous animal.
151
00:07:42,331 --> 00:07:44,333
You'’re risking your life here.
152
00:07:51,166 --> 00:07:53,864
I reported him
to the police.
153
00:07:53,864 --> 00:07:55,431
They would supposedly
arrest him,
154
00:07:55,431 --> 00:07:57,172
but then he'’d be
out again,
155
00:07:57,172 --> 00:07:59,043
and he would just
show up at my house.
156
00:07:59,043 --> 00:08:00,218
Your ex-husband.
157
00:08:00,218 --> 00:08:02,699
You people couldn'’t do anything.
158
00:08:02,699 --> 00:08:05,528
And at some point
you contacted the defendant?
159
00:08:05,528 --> 00:08:08,400
Yes. She had a Web site
I'’d heard about.
160
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,838
If the police couldn'’t help,
she claimed she could.
161
00:08:10,838 --> 00:08:12,404
She called herself
162
00:08:12,404 --> 00:08:13,710
Wonder Woman.
163
00:08:13,710 --> 00:08:15,495
And I decided to meet with her.
164
00:08:17,279 --> 00:08:20,064
And what happened
at that meeting?
165
00:08:20,064 --> 00:08:23,067
Well, basically, she told me she
took care of abusive husbands.
166
00:08:23,067 --> 00:08:25,287
She gave me
a cell number.
167
00:08:25,287 --> 00:08:27,724
When my ex-husband
showed up one night
168
00:08:27,724 --> 00:08:30,205
like he would do
when he was drunk,
169
00:08:30,205 --> 00:08:33,774
I called the police
and I called her.
170
00:08:33,774 --> 00:08:35,340
She got there first.
171
00:08:35,340 --> 00:08:36,907
And what happened?
172
00:08:36,907 --> 00:08:38,779
She broke both his legs.
173
00:08:38,779 --> 00:08:41,912
Then she took his arm
and she snapped that, too.
174
00:08:41,912 --> 00:08:44,349
I told him, next time,
it would be his neck.
175
00:08:53,924 --> 00:08:56,536
Okay, turns out it'’s not as
crazy as we might have thought.
176
00:08:56,536 --> 00:08:57,928
Some countries in Europe
177
00:08:57,928 --> 00:08:59,756
do allow personhood
status for apes.
178
00:08:59,756 --> 00:09:01,802
Though I doubt
it would fly here.
179
00:09:01,802 --> 00:09:04,108
What about this thing
knowing sign language
180
00:09:04,108 --> 00:09:06,197
or using remotes
to watch television?
181
00:09:06,197 --> 00:09:08,199
It'’s not uncommon.
Some orangutans use iPads
182
00:09:08,199 --> 00:09:09,897
to video chat with
orangutans in other zoos.
183
00:09:09,897 --> 00:09:12,073
Come on.
Harry, they got
an IQ of almost 90.
184
00:09:12,073 --> 00:09:15,293
I'’m not saying you can win,
but you got a chance.Harry, you want to see me?
185
00:09:15,293 --> 00:09:19,254
See what else you can
find in the way of legal
precedents, could you?
186
00:09:19,254 --> 00:09:22,866
Cassie tells me your girl
may even be more out there
187
00:09:22,866 --> 00:09:26,435
than advertized.At least she walks upright,
as opposed to your client.
188
00:09:26,435 --> 00:09:28,176
Cute. She also mentioned
189
00:09:28,176 --> 00:09:30,047
that you'’re particularly close
to this woman.
190
00:09:30,047 --> 00:09:32,180
Old friends.
191
00:09:32,180 --> 00:09:35,357
Uh-huh. If you can'’t see
straight on this,
192
00:09:35,357 --> 00:09:37,402
maybe Cassie
should first chair.I'’m seeing straight.
193
00:09:37,402 --> 00:09:38,882
I know what I'’m dealing with.
194
00:09:38,882 --> 00:09:41,189
Really?
Really.
195
00:09:41,189 --> 00:09:44,496
Be careful, okay?Will do.
196
00:09:51,721 --> 00:09:53,767
A third of the women
who are murdered,
197
00:09:53,767 --> 00:09:55,638
are murdered by
an intimate partner.
198
00:09:55,638 --> 00:09:57,379
One in every four women
199
00:09:57,379 --> 00:10:00,295
will experience domestic
violence during her lifetime.
200
00:10:00,295 --> 00:10:01,905
You'’ve researched this?
Yes.
201
00:10:01,905 --> 00:10:04,168
And most DV incidents
aren'’t reported.
202
00:10:04,168 --> 00:10:05,692
In fact, it'’s probably
203
00:10:05,692 --> 00:10:07,041
the most chronically
under-reported crime.
204
00:10:07,041 --> 00:10:08,346
Why is that?
205
00:10:08,346 --> 00:10:09,652
Women are scared.
206
00:10:09,652 --> 00:10:11,872
And with good reason.
207
00:10:11,872 --> 00:10:15,223
It is incredibly difficult
to get convictions.
208
00:10:15,223 --> 00:10:18,008
Most cases are dismissed before
they ever get to trial.
209
00:10:18,008 --> 00:10:20,010
The victims are blamed.
210
00:10:20,010 --> 00:10:22,665
What'’s more, many of the
women feel so hopeless,
211
00:10:22,665 --> 00:10:24,188
that they just
take the abuse.
212
00:10:24,188 --> 00:10:26,451
This is why the law
has been so anemic
213
00:10:26,451 --> 00:10:28,453
in dealing with the problem.
214
00:10:28,453 --> 00:10:29,629
So you decided to get involved.
215
00:10:29,629 --> 00:10:31,326
Yes.
216
00:10:31,326 --> 00:10:32,806
I decided to fill a void.
217
00:10:32,806 --> 00:10:35,896
You'’re a vigilante.Okay.
218
00:10:35,896 --> 00:10:38,376
And why Wonder Woman, Annie?
219
00:10:38,376 --> 00:10:40,422
It'’s a persona I retreat into
220
00:10:40,422 --> 00:10:44,339
that allows me to fight for the
justice that needs fighting for.
221
00:10:44,339 --> 00:10:46,907
You realize that
vigilantism is illegal.
222
00:10:46,907 --> 00:10:48,865
You can'’t just run around
beating up people,
223
00:10:48,865 --> 00:10:50,388
even the bad ones.
224
00:10:50,388 --> 00:10:52,782
There are exceptions.
Defense of others being one,
225
00:10:52,782 --> 00:10:54,741
necessity being another.
226
00:10:54,741 --> 00:10:57,221
It'’s either I beat
the bad husbands,
227
00:10:57,221 --> 00:10:58,919
or they beat their wives.
228
00:10:58,919 --> 00:11:01,486
I would argue that I accomplish
the lesser of the two evils.
229
00:11:01,486 --> 00:11:03,837
Okay.
230
00:11:03,837 --> 00:11:06,056
And what occasioned you to
go into this line of work,
231
00:11:06,056 --> 00:11:07,579
if I may ask?
232
00:11:09,756 --> 00:11:12,323
We all have reasons for
our various careers.
233
00:11:12,323 --> 00:11:13,455
Yeah.
234
00:11:13,455 --> 00:11:15,413
I'’m asking, what was yours?
235
00:11:19,940 --> 00:11:20,897
Ever married, Annie?
236
00:11:25,206 --> 00:11:28,035
Ms. Bilson...
please answer the question.
237
00:11:28,035 --> 00:11:31,342
ADAM:
Were you ever married?
238
00:11:31,342 --> 00:11:32,692
A while ago.
239
00:11:32,692 --> 00:11:35,825
It ended.
240
00:11:35,825 --> 00:11:37,348
Do you recall
241
00:11:37,348 --> 00:11:39,873
why it ended?
242
00:11:39,873 --> 00:11:42,092
Annie, why did
your marriage end?
243
00:11:45,182 --> 00:11:46,793
He raped me.
244
00:11:46,793 --> 00:11:48,664
ADAM:
Your husband raped you.
245
00:11:48,664 --> 00:11:50,666
He raped you once?
246
00:11:50,666 --> 00:11:52,668
No.
247
00:11:54,191 --> 00:11:56,150
Over and over.
248
00:12:05,333 --> 00:12:07,161
I told you not to go into that!
249
00:12:07,161 --> 00:12:08,597
I had to go into it.
No!
250
00:12:08,597 --> 00:12:11,252
Annie, I need to present
every legal defense.
251
00:12:11,252 --> 00:12:12,775
I am not a victim, Adam.
252
00:12:12,775 --> 00:12:14,124
And Wonder Woman...Yes, you are.
253
00:12:14,124 --> 00:12:15,865
No, I am not!
Yes, you are!
254
00:12:15,865 --> 00:12:17,911
No, I am not!
255
00:12:17,911 --> 00:12:19,739
Okay, let'’s play nice here.
256
00:12:20,696 --> 00:12:22,480
Drinks later?
257
00:12:25,701 --> 00:12:27,007
You sure?
258
00:12:27,007 --> 00:12:28,356
She can totally take you.
259
00:12:34,318 --> 00:12:36,320
[sighs]
260
00:12:37,191 --> 00:12:39,889
Annie, you'’re ill.
261
00:12:39,889 --> 00:12:41,761
I'’m not ill.
262
00:12:43,066 --> 00:12:46,069
I protect people.
263
00:12:46,069 --> 00:12:47,505
CASSIE:
You'’re looking at prison.
264
00:12:47,505 --> 00:12:49,812
We have to present all of
your defense options.
265
00:12:49,812 --> 00:12:51,422
You have to let us
do what we do.
266
00:12:53,424 --> 00:12:55,426
Let us be your lawyers here.
267
00:12:55,426 --> 00:12:58,690
Don'’t make us fight with our
hands tied behind our backs.
268
00:13:14,968 --> 00:13:17,187
If you could'’ve seen her
in high school...
269
00:13:17,187 --> 00:13:19,973
Annie Bilson was the one
who had it all together.
270
00:13:19,973 --> 00:13:23,715
Beautiful, smart,
star athlete, funny.
271
00:13:26,327 --> 00:13:28,111
She was...
Wonder Woman.
272
00:13:31,941 --> 00:13:34,596
Guardianship of a gorilla?
Are you serious?
273
00:13:34,596 --> 00:13:35,684
HORACE:
A gorilla she stole.
274
00:13:35,684 --> 00:13:37,120
She did not steal him.
275
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,992
He escaped from a local zoo,
276
00:13:38,992 --> 00:13:41,603
he ventured onto her property,
perhaps intuitively,
277
00:13:41,603 --> 00:13:43,605
since he...Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You are...?
278
00:13:43,605 --> 00:13:45,215
I'’m Mike Horace, Your Honor.
279
00:13:45,215 --> 00:13:48,131
I represent the Cincinnati
Presbyterian Good Fellows Zoo.
280
00:13:48,131 --> 00:13:49,654
That'’s a lot of names.
281
00:13:49,654 --> 00:13:51,700
Well, my client
owns this animal,
282
00:13:51,700 --> 00:13:54,398
and I would ask...That presumes the animal
is capable of being owned.
283
00:13:54,398 --> 00:13:58,489
I would ask Your Honor
to afford the gorilla
284
00:13:58,489 --> 00:14:00,709
the status of personhood
for the sake of this proceeding.
285
00:14:03,451 --> 00:14:05,148
I'’m... is this a joke?
286
00:14:05,148 --> 00:14:08,848
Your Honor, I'’ve looked
into this creature'’s eyes.
287
00:14:08,848 --> 00:14:11,502
Apes are a lot less inhuman
than we would like to think.
288
00:14:11,502 --> 00:14:14,462
Our DNA and theirs
is 98% a match.
289
00:14:14,462 --> 00:14:17,987
The gorilla we'’re talking
about today uses in iPad.
290
00:14:17,987 --> 00:14:19,684
He knows sign language.
291
00:14:19,684 --> 00:14:22,209
He thinks. He reasons.
He communicates...
292
00:14:22,209 --> 00:14:24,515
Counsel, counsel--
has any court in this country
293
00:14:24,515 --> 00:14:26,517
granted personhood status
to an ape?
294
00:14:26,517 --> 00:14:28,519
No. But other countries have.
295
00:14:28,519 --> 00:14:30,434
And here at home,
the Great Ape Protection Act
296
00:14:30,434 --> 00:14:33,263
was reintroduced
to Congress in 2011.
297
00:14:33,263 --> 00:14:35,613
The day is coming, Your Honor.
298
00:14:35,613 --> 00:14:37,006
There'’s a qualitative
shift happening
299
00:14:37,006 --> 00:14:39,617
in the way we view
the animal world,
300
00:14:39,617 --> 00:14:41,706
especially when
it comes to apes.
301
00:14:45,058 --> 00:14:49,323
Your Honor, I, too, looked into
the eyes of this beast,
302
00:14:49,323 --> 00:14:51,107
and I felt a kinship.
303
00:14:52,674 --> 00:14:54,328
How about you hear from
our client, Natalie Dupree,
304
00:14:54,328 --> 00:14:57,157
who'’s been living with this
beast for the last month.
305
00:14:57,157 --> 00:14:58,680
Ms. Dupree does not have any
306
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,116
standing to assert...
HARRY:
She has foundation.
307
00:15:00,116 --> 00:15:02,336
She studied primatology
in college,
308
00:15:02,336 --> 00:15:05,078
she'’s been the primary caretaker
of this gorilla.
309
00:15:05,078 --> 00:15:06,862
If we'’re to consider the best
interest of the ape,
310
00:15:06,862 --> 00:15:08,429
which I would submit we should,
311
00:15:08,429 --> 00:15:10,692
Natalie is uniquely qualified
to bear witness on that.
312
00:15:10,692 --> 00:15:12,433
This woman committed a theft.
313
00:15:12,433 --> 00:15:15,827
And-and we'’re to reward her
by giving her a day in court?
314
00:15:15,827 --> 00:15:17,612
This isn'’t about her.
It'’s about the ape.
315
00:15:17,612 --> 00:15:20,267
All right.
Where is this animal now?
316
00:15:20,267 --> 00:15:22,269
At my client'’s farm.That'’s not gonna fly.
317
00:15:22,269 --> 00:15:24,445
I'’m gonna hear from your
witness, but in the meantime,
318
00:15:24,445 --> 00:15:26,055
the gorilla goes
back to the zoo.
319
00:15:26,055 --> 00:15:27,622
That'’s all.
320
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,933
Are you Wonder Woman,
Ms. Bilson?
321
00:15:35,891 --> 00:15:37,327
Did you not hear my question?
322
00:15:37,327 --> 00:15:39,590
Are you Wonder Woman?
323
00:15:39,590 --> 00:15:42,550
Wonder Woman is an alter-ego
I assume to fight for justice.
324
00:15:42,550 --> 00:15:44,813
And once I assume that persona,
325
00:15:44,813 --> 00:15:46,336
I am her, yes.
326
00:15:46,336 --> 00:15:47,729
RADAN:
You are her.
327
00:15:47,729 --> 00:15:50,427
You know, I grew up
watching Wonder Woman.
328
00:15:50,427 --> 00:15:53,256
In fact, she was probably
my favorite superhero.
329
00:15:53,256 --> 00:15:55,302
I used to love the way
330
00:15:55,302 --> 00:15:57,260
that she would stop bullets
with those silver bracelets.
331
00:15:57,260 --> 00:15:58,261
Can you do that?
332
00:15:58,261 --> 00:16:00,524
No, I cannot stop bullets.
333
00:16:00,524 --> 00:16:01,786
How about the lasso of truth?
334
00:16:01,786 --> 00:16:03,832
Do you have one of
those lasso thingies?
335
00:16:03,832 --> 00:16:05,225
No.
336
00:16:05,225 --> 00:16:07,357
Fly around in
an invisible plane?
337
00:16:08,968 --> 00:16:13,102
I will admit, you do
look a bit like her.
338
00:16:13,102 --> 00:16:15,322
In fact, in the costume,
from the pictures I'’ve seen,
339
00:16:15,322 --> 00:16:17,411
you look fantastic.
And that'’s the point,
340
00:16:17,411 --> 00:16:19,413
isn'’t it, Ms. Bilson?
You look so great,
341
00:16:19,413 --> 00:16:22,590
you'’re kind of fun; you'’re like
a folk hero of sorts.
342
00:16:22,590 --> 00:16:24,635
One can almost lose sight
of the fact
343
00:16:24,635 --> 00:16:28,248
that you are a barbaric
vigilante who tortures people.
344
00:16:28,248 --> 00:16:29,510
I fight for justice.
345
00:16:29,510 --> 00:16:31,338
Justice.
346
00:16:36,952 --> 00:16:38,649
RADAN:
Wow.
347
00:16:38,649 --> 00:16:40,869
New face of justice, is it?
348
00:16:42,349 --> 00:16:45,004
There is a Good Samaritan Act
in Ohio, which...
349
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,266
RADAN:
...which requires people
350
00:16:46,266 --> 00:16:49,008
to sometimes report
an ongoing crime...
351
00:16:49,008 --> 00:16:50,748
Domestic abuse is
an ongoing crime....but not right it.
352
00:16:50,748 --> 00:16:52,011
And typically, it'’s chronic.
353
00:16:52,011 --> 00:16:53,403
A citizen does not
have the right to use
354
00:16:53,403 --> 00:16:55,101
deadly violence to
prevent future crimes.
355
00:16:55,101 --> 00:16:57,668
So who saves these victimized
women, then? You? The police?
356
00:16:57,668 --> 00:16:59,496
'’Cause you'’re certainly
doing a lousy job of it.
357
00:16:59,496 --> 00:17:00,671
So people should
just get the right
358
00:17:00,671 --> 00:17:02,369
to dress up as superheroes?
359
00:17:02,369 --> 00:17:04,327
You think domestic violence
only happens in the ghettos,
360
00:17:04,327 --> 00:17:06,851
or with rednecks, or felons.
It happens everywhere.
361
00:17:06,851 --> 00:17:09,202
To CEOs, even.
It is a widespread,
362
00:17:09,202 --> 00:17:10,420
pervasive problem.Ms. Bilson...
363
00:17:10,420 --> 00:17:12,118
I'’m talking.
It happens in secret,
364
00:17:12,118 --> 00:17:14,424
which makes it so
difficult to root out.
365
00:17:14,424 --> 00:17:16,078
And that is why
I am here today.Counsel...
366
00:17:16,078 --> 00:17:17,471
Annie!
I'’m talking!
367
00:17:17,471 --> 00:17:19,647
Ms. Bilson, I'’m going
to ask you, please,
368
00:17:19,647 --> 00:17:20,952
to contain yourself.
369
00:17:20,952 --> 00:17:22,954
Can you do that?
370
00:17:24,173 --> 00:17:26,132
[sighs]
371
00:17:29,004 --> 00:17:32,312
Hundreds of thousands
of women are battered,
372
00:17:32,312 --> 00:17:34,792
afraid to come forward.
373
00:17:34,792 --> 00:17:36,272
And that'’s why I...
374
00:17:40,537 --> 00:17:43,497
...weneed Wonder Woman.
375
00:18:00,644 --> 00:18:04,083
It'’s just going to be for
a short time, Wentworth.
376
00:18:04,083 --> 00:18:06,433
Okay?
We'’re going to get you out.
377
00:18:06,433 --> 00:18:10,132
But you need to go back,
just for a short time.
378
00:18:10,132 --> 00:18:12,003
Okay?
379
00:18:24,755 --> 00:18:27,889
Everything will be okay.
380
00:18:27,889 --> 00:18:29,891
It'’s gonna be okay.
381
00:18:29,891 --> 00:18:31,371
We'’re gonna fight for you.
We'’re gonna...
382
00:18:32,676 --> 00:18:37,028
Fight.
And everything'’ll be... okay.
383
00:18:43,905 --> 00:18:45,254
[grunts softly]
384
00:18:47,865 --> 00:18:48,910
[grunts]
385
00:18:51,739 --> 00:18:53,175
[groans]
386
00:18:59,442 --> 00:19:01,401
[grunts]
387
00:19:16,459 --> 00:19:18,418
How so?
Well...
388
00:19:18,418 --> 00:19:21,334
she knows she can'’t
fly around and stop bullets.
389
00:19:21,334 --> 00:19:24,163
She knows she'’s not
some immortal Amazon,
390
00:19:24,163 --> 00:19:26,121
born and raised on
an all-woman island.
391
00:19:26,121 --> 00:19:28,297
It'’s as if she'’s chosen
392
00:19:28,297 --> 00:19:30,778
to retreat into this persona.
393
00:19:30,778 --> 00:19:32,954
And once in it, she takes on...
394
00:19:32,954 --> 00:19:34,912
[sighs]
395
00:19:34,912 --> 00:19:37,480
Well... truthfully, I'’ve never
seen anything quite like it.
396
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,352
Let'’s cut to the chase.
397
00:19:39,352 --> 00:19:41,615
Do you think that she
voluntarily committed
398
00:19:41,615 --> 00:19:42,616
these acts against men?
399
00:19:42,616 --> 00:19:45,488
Not truly voluntarily, no.
400
00:19:45,488 --> 00:19:48,404
I think she'’s driven
by an intense need
401
00:19:48,404 --> 00:19:49,840
to fight for these victims.
402
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,191
Annie Bilson has
a tremendous amount of rage
403
00:19:52,191 --> 00:19:54,193
inside her,
because of her own history.
404
00:19:54,193 --> 00:19:59,372
She processes her anger
through this superhero persona.
405
00:19:59,372 --> 00:20:01,678
It'’s a way
she empowers herself.
406
00:20:01,678 --> 00:20:04,028
For the first few years
she got free of her husband,
407
00:20:04,028 --> 00:20:05,508
she was completely
dysfunctional.
408
00:20:05,508 --> 00:20:07,945
She couldn'’t work,
couldn'’t much sleep.
409
00:20:07,945 --> 00:20:10,687
The idea of intimacy was...
410
00:20:10,687 --> 00:20:13,473
Once she started taking on
the attributes of Wonder Woman,
411
00:20:13,473 --> 00:20:16,824
she now has a high-level job
at a software company,
412
00:20:16,824 --> 00:20:18,956
she enjoys successful
social relationships.
413
00:20:18,956 --> 00:20:21,524
She also has her sense
of humor back. It'’s been...
414
00:20:21,524 --> 00:20:23,657
incredible.
415
00:20:23,657 --> 00:20:26,355
It'’s...
it'’s been extremely healthy.
416
00:20:26,355 --> 00:20:29,184
At least... for her.
417
00:20:29,184 --> 00:20:32,056
But she knowingly retreats
into this persona.
418
00:20:32,056 --> 00:20:34,058
Right?
That'’s hard to tell.
419
00:20:34,058 --> 00:20:35,799
Well, you testified
she makes a choice.
420
00:20:35,799 --> 00:20:38,454
She'’s a bit on autopilot.
She dissociates.
421
00:20:38,454 --> 00:20:40,978
It'’s an out-of-body experience.
422
00:20:40,978 --> 00:20:43,198
In the moment that she
confronts these wife-beaters,
423
00:20:43,198 --> 00:20:46,680
she is acting out her own
uncontrollable rage.
424
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,551
And you'’ve told her this
during your treatment?
425
00:20:48,551 --> 00:20:49,900
I have.
426
00:20:49,900 --> 00:20:51,728
Have you suggested,
perhaps, some medication
427
00:20:51,728 --> 00:20:53,164
that could prevent her from
428
00:20:53,164 --> 00:20:55,254
going into what
you call autopilot?
429
00:20:55,254 --> 00:20:56,733
I have.
She doesn'’t want it.
430
00:20:56,733 --> 00:20:58,431
And this refusal
to take medication--
431
00:20:58,431 --> 00:21:01,390
that would be
a voluntary choice she'’s made?
432
00:21:01,390 --> 00:21:04,393
That decision
would be voluntary, yes.
433
00:21:04,393 --> 00:21:05,829
RADAN:
Huh.
434
00:21:05,829 --> 00:21:08,832
Thank you, Doctor.
435
00:21:13,794 --> 00:21:16,753
Well, I had just
come home from work.
436
00:21:16,753 --> 00:21:19,626
I had some groceries
in my hand,
437
00:21:19,626 --> 00:21:23,456
and I got this feeling,
like I was being watched.
438
00:21:23,456 --> 00:21:25,109
And I looked over at the hedges
439
00:21:25,109 --> 00:21:27,024
and there were these big eyes
440
00:21:27,024 --> 00:21:30,071
sort of peering out at me.
441
00:21:30,071 --> 00:21:31,246
Were you frightened?
442
00:21:31,246 --> 00:21:32,726
Of course I was.
443
00:21:32,726 --> 00:21:33,727
There was
a gorilla in the bushes.
444
00:21:33,727 --> 00:21:35,903
I was scared to death.
445
00:21:35,903 --> 00:21:36,947
And then...
446
00:21:36,947 --> 00:21:38,601
he came walking out.
447
00:21:38,601 --> 00:21:42,039
TOMMY: At you? Very tentatively.
448
00:21:42,039 --> 00:21:44,694
I could see that either
he was afraid himself,
449
00:21:44,694 --> 00:21:47,915
or that he somehow was
sensitive to my fear.
450
00:21:47,915 --> 00:21:50,047
That'’s what I remember
being struck by first,
451
00:21:50,047 --> 00:21:54,400
was his powers of perception,
if not empathy.
452
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,228
So then what happened--
after he came out of the bushes?
453
00:21:57,228 --> 00:22:00,014
Well, he kept walking forward.
454
00:22:00,014 --> 00:22:03,496
And from his body language,
I could tell that,
455
00:22:03,496 --> 00:22:06,325
like I said earlier, that
somehow he sensed I was afraid.
456
00:22:06,325 --> 00:22:09,415
And so he took my hand,
457
00:22:09,415 --> 00:22:14,115
ever so gently,
and he caressed my palm,
458
00:22:14,115 --> 00:22:17,553
like what he did
with you and Harry.
459
00:22:18,728 --> 00:22:20,426
And then...
460
00:22:20,426 --> 00:22:22,732
then he signed "hello."
461
00:22:22,732 --> 00:22:25,387
I think I gasped.
462
00:22:25,387 --> 00:22:26,649
This was-- this was like
463
00:22:26,649 --> 00:22:28,608
straight out of a Disney movie.
464
00:22:28,608 --> 00:22:33,177
So Ms. Dupree, where did you
think this ape had come from?
465
00:22:33,177 --> 00:22:35,963
I'’d seen the reports on the news
about the zoo escape,
466
00:22:35,963 --> 00:22:38,139
so I knew that his name
was Wentworth,
467
00:22:38,139 --> 00:22:40,010
that he was very docile.
468
00:22:40,010 --> 00:22:42,448
TOMMY: Now I understand you
brought along some video.
469
00:22:42,448 --> 00:22:44,406
Yeah, I did.
Just a little footage,
470
00:22:44,406 --> 00:22:46,887
just to give you an idea.I'’m going to roll it,
471
00:22:46,887 --> 00:22:49,411
and then you can
tell us what we'’re seeing.Okay.
472
00:22:49,411 --> 00:22:51,587
So I brought him an iPad
473
00:22:51,587 --> 00:22:55,025
'’cause I'’d read the chimpanzees
and orangutans were using them.
474
00:22:55,025 --> 00:22:57,724
[loud snap]And that'’s what he did
to the first one.
475
00:22:57,724 --> 00:22:58,986
[growls]
476
00:22:58,986 --> 00:23:00,335
But then, a day later...
477
00:23:00,335 --> 00:23:03,599
he'’s doing puzzles
and finger painting.
478
00:23:05,993 --> 00:23:06,994
Ms. Dupree, you haven'’t
manipulated
479
00:23:06,994 --> 00:23:08,256
this footage in any way?
480
00:23:08,256 --> 00:23:10,084
Judge, orangutans are
using these things
481
00:23:10,084 --> 00:23:13,827
to video chat with
other orangutans
482
00:23:13,827 --> 00:23:14,697
in different zoos.
483
00:23:14,697 --> 00:23:18,527
Oh, he likes opera.
484
00:23:18,527 --> 00:23:21,617
How smart, in human terms,
would you say he is?
485
00:23:21,617 --> 00:23:23,619
I would say he'’s the equivalent
486
00:23:23,619 --> 00:23:26,448
to a two or
three-year-old child.
487
00:23:26,448 --> 00:23:29,756
Oh, and I-- I probably
should'’ve edited this out,
488
00:23:29,756 --> 00:23:31,888
but it gives you a sense.
489
00:23:31,888 --> 00:23:34,064
He wasn'’t toilet trained
at the zoo, by the way.
490
00:23:34,064 --> 00:23:35,762
He learned that
in two days.
491
00:23:36,632 --> 00:23:38,678
Peoplemagazine.
492
00:23:40,462 --> 00:23:44,988
You have reason to think he'’s
been mistreated at the zoo?
493
00:23:44,988 --> 00:23:48,078
Yes. Yes, he'’s
the only gorilla there.
494
00:23:48,078 --> 00:23:49,297
That'’s mistreatment?
495
00:23:49,297 --> 00:23:52,082
In the wild, gorillas lead
496
00:23:52,082 --> 00:23:53,432
extremely social lives.
497
00:23:53,432 --> 00:23:54,911
They have friends,
they have family.
498
00:23:54,911 --> 00:23:57,740
They love, they laugh,
and they'’re active.
499
00:23:57,740 --> 00:23:59,002
In your zoo,
500
00:23:59,002 --> 00:24:01,309
he sits alone all day
and does nothing.
501
00:24:01,309 --> 00:24:03,877
But he could
never be set free.
502
00:24:03,877 --> 00:24:05,487
He doesn'’t have
the skill set
503
00:24:05,487 --> 00:24:08,272
to survive in the wild.
504
00:24:08,272 --> 00:24:10,013
Yeah, but there are sanctuaries,
505
00:24:10,013 --> 00:24:12,102
there are other zoos where
there'’s other gorillas.
506
00:24:12,102 --> 00:24:14,888
At least he'’d have some sort
of social and emotional life.
507
00:24:14,888 --> 00:24:16,846
I'’m sorry, but it'’s cruel
508
00:24:16,846 --> 00:24:19,501
to stick him in
isolated captivity
509
00:24:19,501 --> 00:24:21,198
in Cincinnati Presbyterian.
510
00:24:21,198 --> 00:24:23,157
Because he can use an iPad?
511
00:24:23,157 --> 00:24:25,202
No, because it'’s inhumane.
512
00:24:25,202 --> 00:24:28,249
He has an IQ of almost
90, for God'’s sake.
513
00:24:28,249 --> 00:24:32,732
But where do we draw the line?
Dogs-- especially service dogs--
514
00:24:32,732 --> 00:24:34,081
have displayed
extraordinary intelligence.
515
00:24:34,081 --> 00:24:36,736
Should we grant them
personhood status?
516
00:24:36,736 --> 00:24:38,259
What about ducks?
517
00:24:38,259 --> 00:24:39,956
I'’ve been told
ducks are smart.
518
00:24:39,956 --> 00:24:42,742
You lease your property out
to shoot ducks, right?
519
00:24:42,742 --> 00:24:47,094
Isn'’t that how you first met
Ms. Korn, and Mr. Jefferson?
520
00:24:47,094 --> 00:24:49,662
Look, I'’m not
an animal activist.
521
00:24:49,662 --> 00:24:53,187
I eat meat, I wear
leather and yes,
522
00:24:53,187 --> 00:24:54,754
yes, I make a little money
523
00:24:54,754 --> 00:24:56,886
leasing my land out
to duck hunters.
524
00:24:56,886 --> 00:24:58,888
But this case
525
00:24:58,888 --> 00:25:01,891
is about great apes.
They'’re different.
526
00:25:01,891 --> 00:25:05,199
We use apes for
biomedical research.
527
00:25:05,199 --> 00:25:07,984
Are you against that?100%.
528
00:25:07,984 --> 00:25:09,508
Children dying of leukemia--
529
00:25:09,508 --> 00:25:11,248
this research
could cure them.
530
00:25:11,248 --> 00:25:14,643
But you say, no,
better the ape be happy.
531
00:25:15,514 --> 00:25:16,863
Mr. Horace, if you want
532
00:25:16,863 --> 00:25:19,866
to make the argument that
sacrificing an ape
533
00:25:19,866 --> 00:25:23,739
is worth saving a child,
then go on ahead,
534
00:25:23,739 --> 00:25:26,046
but that'’s not what
we'’re talking about,
535
00:25:26,046 --> 00:25:28,091
are we?
536
00:25:28,091 --> 00:25:30,920
We'’re talking about the cruel
and abusive treatment
537
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,748
of sticking an intelligent being
538
00:25:32,748 --> 00:25:35,185
in a zoo and charging
people admission
539
00:25:35,185 --> 00:25:37,013
for entertainment.
540
00:25:37,013 --> 00:25:41,235
And last time I checked, that
did not cure leukemia.
541
00:25:41,235 --> 00:25:42,584
But it'’s an animal,
542
00:25:42,584 --> 00:25:44,020
and you'’ve come
into this court
543
00:25:44,020 --> 00:25:47,763
asking the court
to treat him as a person.
544
00:25:47,763 --> 00:25:50,026
Now if we actually do that,
what do we say
545
00:25:50,026 --> 00:25:51,854
to the next guy out there
546
00:25:51,854 --> 00:25:54,553
who happens to love dolphins?
547
00:26:02,648 --> 00:26:05,346
She severely beat three men.
548
00:26:05,346 --> 00:26:07,957
Almost killed a fourth.
549
00:26:07,957 --> 00:26:11,352
Broken bones,
fractured skulls,
550
00:26:11,352 --> 00:26:13,572
serious bodily injuries.
551
00:26:13,572 --> 00:26:17,576
In the movies,
we love vigilantes--
552
00:26:17,576 --> 00:26:20,448
Batman, Wonder Woman.
553
00:26:20,448 --> 00:26:22,798
Buford Pusser in Walking Tall--
554
00:26:22,798 --> 00:26:25,758
I think he was my favorite.
555
00:26:25,758 --> 00:26:29,283
He would take his home-made bat
to the heads of very bad people.
556
00:26:29,283 --> 00:26:30,632
It was visceral.
557
00:26:30,632 --> 00:26:32,678
It was vengeance.
558
00:26:32,678 --> 00:26:34,680
It was justice.
559
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:40,686
In real life, vigilantism
is against the law.
560
00:26:40,686 --> 00:26:42,992
No matter how hot you look
in the outfit.
561
00:26:42,992 --> 00:26:45,125
And even if we were
to believe the doctor
562
00:26:45,125 --> 00:26:49,085
who said the defendant would
lose herself in this superhero,
563
00:26:49,085 --> 00:26:51,827
the fact is, she knew
she was prone to doing it.
564
00:26:51,827 --> 00:26:54,613
She refused medication
565
00:26:54,613 --> 00:26:58,094
and willfully, voluntarily
kept doing it.
566
00:26:58,094 --> 00:26:59,966
That'’s the same as knowingly
taking a pill
567
00:26:59,966 --> 00:27:01,750
that makes your crazy homicidal.
568
00:27:01,750 --> 00:27:05,798
She made a sane,
conscious choice
569
00:27:05,798 --> 00:27:07,451
to become this deadly character.
570
00:27:07,451 --> 00:27:10,280
And that is reckless disregard
for human life.
571
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,327
And diminished capacity
is no defense.
572
00:27:15,416 --> 00:27:18,549
I feel for Annie Bilson.
573
00:27:18,549 --> 00:27:22,379
She was a victim
of horrible domestic violence.
574
00:27:22,379 --> 00:27:25,208
Rape.
575
00:27:25,208 --> 00:27:28,124
And God knows it is
an underreported epidemic
576
00:27:28,124 --> 00:27:31,867
that happens in every town,
in every state.
577
00:27:31,867 --> 00:27:35,915
I'’d love to pick up Buford
Pusser'’s bat myself...
578
00:27:37,525 --> 00:27:39,396
...but I don'’t.
579
00:27:39,396 --> 00:27:45,228
Because our best defense
against these crimes and others
580
00:27:45,228 --> 00:27:47,666
is to cling to the notion--
581
00:27:47,666 --> 00:27:49,319
our most cherished principle,
in fact--
582
00:27:49,319 --> 00:27:54,063
that we are
a nation of law and order.
583
00:27:57,545 --> 00:27:59,982
ADAM: I knew Annie Bilson
in high school.
584
00:27:59,982 --> 00:28:04,900
Outgoing, bright,
a smile for everybody.
585
00:28:04,900 --> 00:28:07,947
A generous, charitable heart.
586
00:28:07,947 --> 00:28:10,123
[chuckling]:
I had the biggest crush on her.
587
00:28:15,041 --> 00:28:16,869
[voice breaking]:
Then something happened to her.
588
00:28:16,869 --> 00:28:20,916
Sorry.
[clearing throat]
589
00:28:20,916 --> 00:28:23,005
I didn'’t see that coming.
590
00:28:23,005 --> 00:28:25,312
Uh, she was raped.
591
00:28:25,312 --> 00:28:27,880
Repeatedly.
592
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,013
Beaten by the man
she married
593
00:28:31,013 --> 00:28:33,059
and loved.
594
00:28:34,756 --> 00:28:36,845
It left her...
595
00:28:36,845 --> 00:28:39,239
Well, I'’d say,
"you can imagine,"
596
00:28:39,239 --> 00:28:41,589
but you probably cannot.
597
00:28:41,589 --> 00:28:46,159
After being rendered
dysfunctional for a few years,
598
00:28:46,159 --> 00:28:48,596
emotionally lobotomized,
599
00:28:48,596 --> 00:28:50,293
she finally decided
to seek haven
600
00:28:50,293 --> 00:28:53,209
inside the persona
of a childhood role model.
601
00:28:53,209 --> 00:28:55,472
And she opted to process
her anger in a way
602
00:28:55,472 --> 00:28:56,865
that might help other victims.
603
00:28:56,865 --> 00:28:58,649
As the District Attorney states,
604
00:28:58,649 --> 00:29:01,043
domestic violence is epidemic.
605
00:29:01,043 --> 00:29:03,959
One-third of all female homicide
victims are murdered
606
00:29:03,959 --> 00:29:06,570
by an intimate partner--
a third.
607
00:29:06,570 --> 00:29:09,791
One in every four women are
victims of domestic violence.
608
00:29:09,791 --> 00:29:10,923
That'’s hard to fathom.
609
00:29:10,923 --> 00:29:12,402
And we can'’t
seem to stop it.
610
00:29:14,013 --> 00:29:17,190
Annie was raped.
She didn'’t leave.
611
00:29:17,190 --> 00:29:21,237
She was raped again.
She didn'’t leave.
612
00:29:21,237 --> 00:29:24,893
Ms. Radan showed you pictures
of the men she attacked.
613
00:29:24,893 --> 00:29:26,677
Have you seen the pictures
of Annie?
614
00:29:40,213 --> 00:29:41,867
Her husband did that.
615
00:29:46,654 --> 00:29:49,309
I realize we can'’t have people
running around pretending
616
00:29:49,309 --> 00:29:50,614
to be superheroes.
617
00:29:50,614 --> 00:29:53,008
And Annie needs to stop.
618
00:29:53,008 --> 00:29:56,055
But the goal today
should not be so much
619
00:29:56,055 --> 00:29:58,840
to punish her,
as to get her help.
620
00:30:02,670 --> 00:30:07,240
I, uh, I admit I'’m biased here.
621
00:30:10,591 --> 00:30:11,984
I asked her to the prom.
622
00:30:11,984 --> 00:30:13,333
She, uh...
623
00:30:19,992 --> 00:30:22,342
I wish you knew her like I...
624
00:30:25,388 --> 00:30:28,957
She got a little lost
helping defenseless women
625
00:30:28,957 --> 00:30:32,047
who so desperately needed help.
626
00:30:32,047 --> 00:30:35,050
Today, uh...
627
00:30:35,050 --> 00:30:37,836
I guess she needs
a little help from you.
628
00:30:56,811 --> 00:31:00,728
The DA has offered
three years at Summit.
629
00:31:00,728 --> 00:31:03,078
You wouldn'’t even have
to go to prison.
630
00:31:03,078 --> 00:31:04,601
A psych ward?!
631
00:31:04,601 --> 00:31:06,603
We think you should take it.
632
00:31:06,603 --> 00:31:09,345
Well, talk about
a fall from grace.
633
00:31:09,345 --> 00:31:11,957
Going from Wonder Woman
to mentally ill.
634
00:31:14,568 --> 00:31:16,352
Annie, you are ill.
635
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:18,964
We don'’t want to risk prison.
636
00:31:18,964 --> 00:31:22,097
And you don'’t think
I might be acquitted?
637
00:31:22,097 --> 00:31:25,753
You might be,
but under the law...
638
00:31:25,753 --> 00:31:27,755
We don'’t want to risk it.
639
00:31:27,755 --> 00:31:30,192
You could be looking at
six years of hard time
640
00:31:30,192 --> 00:31:32,151
with no promise
of treatment, which...
641
00:31:34,327 --> 00:31:36,111
Just take the deal.
642
00:31:40,855 --> 00:31:43,466
And I would have to give up
being Wonder Woman?
643
00:31:46,905 --> 00:31:49,081
Look, with the doctors'’ help,
644
00:31:49,081 --> 00:31:51,822
you can get back to being
Annie Bilson full-time.
645
00:31:51,822 --> 00:31:54,564
Let'’s take the deal.
646
00:31:54,564 --> 00:31:56,915
We need to, honey.
647
00:31:56,915 --> 00:31:59,613
Prison is...
648
00:31:59,613 --> 00:32:01,310
We don'’t want to risk that.
649
00:32:15,890 --> 00:32:19,589
Look, uh, my client, too,
loves this animal.
650
00:32:19,589 --> 00:32:22,679
And not just because people
pay admission to see him.
651
00:32:22,679 --> 00:32:24,203
But he is an animal.
652
00:32:24,203 --> 00:32:26,248
To somehow call
him a person,
653
00:32:26,248 --> 00:32:28,642
even for the sake
of a legal proceeding...
654
00:32:28,642 --> 00:32:30,470
why?
655
00:32:30,470 --> 00:32:33,386
Because, uh,
he'’s pretty smart?
656
00:32:33,386 --> 00:32:34,865
A lot of animals are.
657
00:32:34,865 --> 00:32:36,867
Dolphins, dogs.
658
00:32:36,867 --> 00:32:38,695
Because it
feels emotions?
659
00:32:38,695 --> 00:32:40,697
Well, so do elephants.
660
00:32:40,697 --> 00:32:44,614
Elephants will mourn the loss
of family members for years.
661
00:32:44,614 --> 00:32:46,965
Like it or not, we do
662
00:32:46,965 --> 00:32:48,923
practice speciesism.
663
00:32:48,923 --> 00:32:51,795
We eat animals
because they taste good.
664
00:32:51,795 --> 00:32:55,756
We kill them for clothing,
sometimes vanity.
665
00:32:55,756 --> 00:32:57,497
We use them
for medical testing.
666
00:32:57,497 --> 00:32:58,802
We whip
their behinds
667
00:32:58,802 --> 00:33:01,153
coming down the home stretch.
668
00:33:01,153 --> 00:33:04,112
We coop them up,
and we own them.
669
00:33:04,112 --> 00:33:05,418
We own them.
670
00:33:05,418 --> 00:33:06,810
Under the law,
671
00:33:06,810 --> 00:33:09,161
these animals
are considered property,
672
00:33:09,161 --> 00:33:11,598
Under the law, this animal
is the property
673
00:33:11,598 --> 00:33:14,775
of the Cincinnati Presbyterian
Good Fellows Zoo.
674
00:33:14,775 --> 00:33:18,126
It'’s as simple as that.
675
00:33:18,126 --> 00:33:19,954
HARRY:
Well, I'’m glad you
676
00:33:19,954 --> 00:33:22,435
called it for what it is:
speciesism.
677
00:33:22,435 --> 00:33:24,219
'’Cause that'’s what it is.
678
00:33:25,351 --> 00:33:27,483
Following Mr. Horace'’s logic--
679
00:33:27,483 --> 00:33:30,269
suppose a being
from another planet showed up,
680
00:33:30,269 --> 00:33:32,314
IQ of 300,
681
00:33:32,314 --> 00:33:34,882
had the wherewithal
to reverse climate change
682
00:33:34,882 --> 00:33:36,971
and told really funny jokes.
683
00:33:36,971 --> 00:33:39,843
I mean, he'’d get no rights here
'’cause he'’s nonhuman?
684
00:33:39,843 --> 00:33:41,149
We could just
685
00:33:41,149 --> 00:33:42,933
throw him in a zoo
and charge admission?
686
00:33:42,933 --> 00:33:44,109
I don'’t think that'’s
687
00:33:44,109 --> 00:33:45,110
what any of us want.
688
00:33:45,110 --> 00:33:46,676
And yet,
689
00:33:46,676 --> 00:33:49,027
under Mr. Horace'’s argument,
the law is the law.
690
00:33:50,289 --> 00:33:53,118
Your Honor,
the law evolves as we learn.
691
00:33:53,118 --> 00:33:55,381
Always has.
692
00:33:55,381 --> 00:33:57,992
I understand there'’s
a slippery slope problem.
693
00:33:57,992 --> 00:34:01,169
Today it'’s a gorilla;
next it'’s a dolphin.
694
00:34:01,169 --> 00:34:02,997
Soon people will be
trying to stop me
695
00:34:02,997 --> 00:34:04,172
from shooting
a lousy duck.
696
00:34:04,172 --> 00:34:05,478
Which I look forward to.
697
00:34:05,478 --> 00:34:06,609
I like shooting ducks.
698
00:34:08,655 --> 00:34:11,353
I don'’t know
where we draw the line here.
699
00:34:11,353 --> 00:34:15,749
But if we have a being
of real intelligence,
700
00:34:15,749 --> 00:34:17,968
capable of showing compassion,
701
00:34:17,968 --> 00:34:19,970
one that possesses
702
00:34:19,970 --> 00:34:21,320
self-awareness,
703
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,409
has language skills,
704
00:34:23,409 --> 00:34:27,239
a being that lives a social
and emotional life,
705
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,590
I have no problem
drawing the line there.
706
00:34:30,590 --> 00:34:32,200
And as I said at the beginning,
707
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,333
I'’ve looked
into this gorilla'’s eyes.
708
00:34:34,333 --> 00:34:37,336
I challenge anybody here
to do the same
709
00:34:37,336 --> 00:34:40,121
and not see something
a little human.
710
00:34:41,340 --> 00:34:43,168
But in the end,
it'’s not about
711
00:34:43,168 --> 00:34:45,126
the ape'’s humanity, is it?
712
00:34:45,126 --> 00:34:47,172
It'’s about ours.
713
00:34:48,869 --> 00:34:50,610
How do we,
714
00:34:50,610 --> 00:34:55,397
as a species capable of feeling
and crying and caring,
715
00:34:55,397 --> 00:34:58,835
how do we lock up
another being that...
716
00:35:01,838 --> 00:35:03,884
This ape laughs.
717
00:35:03,884 --> 00:35:05,886
He learns.
718
00:35:05,886 --> 00:35:07,627
He reasons.
719
00:35:07,627 --> 00:35:09,368
He plays jokes.
720
00:35:09,368 --> 00:35:11,544
He grieves.
721
00:35:11,544 --> 00:35:13,372
He worries.
722
00:35:13,372 --> 00:35:15,939
And right now,
he'’s worried sick
723
00:35:15,939 --> 00:35:17,985
about having to stay
724
00:35:17,985 --> 00:35:21,075
at the Cincinnati Presbyterian
Good Fellows Zoo.
725
00:35:33,740 --> 00:35:36,264
The law is evolving on this,
726
00:35:36,264 --> 00:35:38,397
and we'’re seeing
the legal rights of animals
727
00:35:38,397 --> 00:35:40,138
expanded by the day.
728
00:35:40,138 --> 00:35:43,837
But the problem with granting
actual personhood status is:
729
00:35:43,837 --> 00:35:45,665
What'’s the test?
730
00:35:45,665 --> 00:35:47,362
Can'’t be IQ.
731
00:35:47,362 --> 00:35:49,799
As we'’ve seen, certain animals
have more intelligence
732
00:35:49,799 --> 00:35:51,540
than some humans.
733
00:35:51,540 --> 00:35:52,976
Emotion?
734
00:35:52,976 --> 00:35:54,413
Well, how do you measure that?
735
00:35:54,413 --> 00:35:57,024
Maybe it'’s the empathy chip.
736
00:35:57,024 --> 00:35:59,200
But most of our successful CEOs
are missing that one.
737
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,116
This is why speciesism
738
00:36:02,116 --> 00:36:04,336
has always been very pragmatic,
739
00:36:04,336 --> 00:36:06,338
at least from a...
a legal standpoint.
740
00:36:06,338 --> 00:36:09,341
I completely support,
even cheer,
741
00:36:09,341 --> 00:36:12,082
the continued expansion
of legal rights for animals,
742
00:36:12,082 --> 00:36:15,085
especially when it comes
to the great apes.
743
00:36:15,085 --> 00:36:19,046
But looking at where
the law stands today,
744
00:36:19,046 --> 00:36:24,138
animals, even the great apes,
are considered property.
745
00:36:24,138 --> 00:36:28,273
And the property in question
belongs to the zoo.
746
00:36:28,273 --> 00:36:31,101
The motion for legal
guardianship is denied.
747
00:36:31,101 --> 00:36:32,146
Thank you.

Hey.

Hey, Cassie.

Hey.
755
00:37:10,924 --> 00:37:11,925
First, the good news.
756
00:37:11,925 --> 00:37:13,579
I had my first meal.
757
00:37:13,579 --> 00:37:15,929
It was only the
second-worst one I'’ve ever had.
758
00:37:15,929 --> 00:37:17,104
That'’s good.
759
00:37:17,104 --> 00:37:19,106
I'’ve gotten two proposals,
760
00:37:19,106 --> 00:37:21,587
three basic conjugal offers,
761
00:37:21,587 --> 00:37:22,718
and an invitation
762
00:37:22,718 --> 00:37:23,937
to knit moose-hunting sweaters
763
00:37:23,937 --> 00:37:25,330
from a sweet lady who claims
764
00:37:25,330 --> 00:37:27,462
she can see Russia
from her window.
765
00:37:27,462 --> 00:37:30,248
Well, you'’re keeping your
sense of humor, anyway.
766
00:37:30,248 --> 00:37:32,162
Keeping that.
767
00:37:32,162 --> 00:37:34,556
But they'’ve confiscated
the costume.
768
00:37:34,556 --> 00:37:35,905
Just as well.
769
00:37:35,905 --> 00:37:37,646
It would only result
in more conjugal offers.
770
00:37:37,646 --> 00:37:39,822

771
00:37:40,867 --> 00:37:42,477
