Restrain his father--

00:00:04,738 --> 00:00:08,074
Permission
to smack him, Judge?
Hey! Don't intimidate me!
3
00:00:09,342 --> 00:00:14,080
- What are you doing?
- Cowards make me crazy!
4
00:00:14,147 --> 00:00:17,884
Your Honor, he vowed that he
knew where I lived, and he said
it with vicious malice.
5
00:00:17,951 --> 00:00:21,321
- I used to be a lawyer.
Remember?
- A terrible lawyer.
6
00:00:21,387 --> 00:00:24,925
- Jimmy, you never won a case.
- I'm right for this one.
7
00:00:24,991 --> 00:00:28,494
You gave the tobacco case
to Lindsay even though
she'd never done a jury trial.
8
00:00:28,561 --> 00:00:30,463
You had a feeling
and you went with it.
9
00:00:30,530 --> 00:00:33,366
I don't have...
that feeling here.
10
00:00:33,433 --> 00:00:35,835
Oh. Okay.
11
00:00:35,901 --> 00:00:38,571
Hundred bucks says you lose.
You want to bet on it?
12
00:00:38,638 --> 00:00:40,773
You took this
court-appointed, right?
Mm-hmm.
13
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,708
That means your fee tops
at 700.
14
00:00:42,775 --> 00:00:45,778
Now, I am just giving you
the chance to make 800.
15
00:00:45,845 --> 00:00:49,382
You sit here today remembering
the placement of lampposts,
16
00:00:49,449 --> 00:00:51,851
the color of
the surrounding cars,
17
00:00:51,917 --> 00:00:53,753
the exact time
to the minute,
18
00:00:53,819 --> 00:00:57,289
but as for what
the suspect looked like,
"black," "big head."
19
00:00:57,356 --> 00:00:59,792
Small bills only.
Mm-hmm.
20
00:01:05,731 --> 00:01:09,268
There is no case,ladies and gentlemen.
21
00:01:09,334 --> 00:01:11,871
They bring up two officers
from the vice squad...
22
00:01:11,937 --> 00:01:16,776
who say they saw a woman
they believe
to be a prostitute...

give money to my client.
24
00:01:19,144 --> 00:01:21,947
And then they automatically
leap to the conclusion...
25
00:01:22,014 --> 00:01:25,150
that Kenny Tripp is a pimp.
26
00:01:29,354 --> 00:01:32,224
What kind of evidence
is that?
27
00:01:32,291 --> 00:01:34,859
[ Prosecutor ]
Now, what kind of story
was his?
28
00:01:34,926 --> 00:01:39,498
"She was paying off
on a football bet."
That's what Kenny Tripp says.
29
00:01:39,564 --> 00:01:43,368
A woman is observedorally copulating a man.
30
00:01:43,435 --> 00:01:46,505
The man is then seen
remunerating the woman.
31
00:01:46,571 --> 00:01:48,740
The woman is then seen
giving money to the defendant--
32
00:01:48,807 --> 00:01:53,211
a man
with two previous convictions
for running a prostitution ring.
33
00:01:53,278 --> 00:01:56,348
And he says
she was paying him...
34
00:01:56,415 --> 00:02:01,285
because the Dolphins
didn't cover against
the Patriots.
35
00:02:01,353 --> 00:02:03,688
No offense, but I liked
his closing better than yours.
36
00:02:03,755 --> 00:02:06,558
Look, this case is
completely circumstantial.
We have a very good shot.
37
00:02:06,625 --> 00:02:09,260
Plus, we have grounds
for an appeal.
Let's not forget that.
38
00:02:09,327 --> 00:02:11,530
Yeah, but I still think
if we put in I got a girlfriend,
39
00:02:11,596 --> 00:02:13,632
it would have made me look
loving and caring.
40
00:02:13,698 --> 00:02:16,100
We were limited by the
fact that you don't have
a girlfriend, Kenny.
41
00:02:16,167 --> 00:02:19,337
Yeah, but if you had put it in,
I would have got one.
How'd it go?
42
00:02:19,403 --> 00:02:21,572
Great for the D.A.
I gotta pee.
43
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,343
Listen, they're not gonna
follow me in there and, like,
give me a urine test, are they?
44
00:02:25,409 --> 00:02:28,512
- I think you're safe.
- Okay.
45
00:02:28,579 --> 00:02:31,349
Oh, Eugene?
Don't tell me.
46
00:02:31,415 --> 00:02:34,318
[ Chuckles ]
Oh, yes. Me.
47
00:02:34,385 --> 00:02:37,155
Look, I got that file.
You asked for the file.
48
00:02:37,221 --> 00:02:39,190
Oh, damn right I did.
49
00:02:39,257 --> 00:02:42,360
The thought of beating you
in court is just too hard
for me to resist. Hey, Ellie.
50
00:02:42,426 --> 00:02:45,063
- How you doin', Renee?
- But you won't beat me.
51
00:02:45,129 --> 00:02:47,531
All you got again
is one eyewitness.
52
00:02:47,598 --> 00:02:50,468
Well, we... could bet again,
couldn't we?
53
00:02:50,534 --> 00:02:53,070
Same rider?
Mm-hmm.
54
00:02:53,137 --> 00:02:55,806
You got it.
You're on.
55
00:02:57,808 --> 00:03:00,177
Pardon me... one second.
[ Clears Throat ]
56
00:03:00,244 --> 00:03:03,681
Did you just make a bet
on the Maynard trial?
I did indeed.
57
00:03:03,747 --> 00:03:05,883
Um, I know you're excellent
defending armed robbers,
58
00:03:05,949 --> 00:03:08,318
and you love cross-examining
eyewitnesses, but--
Mm-hmm.
59
00:03:08,386 --> 00:03:10,387
Uh, don't bet him,
Lindsay.
No, no, no.
60
00:03:10,454 --> 00:03:12,556
The woman was held up
by a one-legged man.
61
00:03:12,623 --> 00:03:15,125
She I.D.'d our client,
who happens to have one leg,
62
00:03:15,192 --> 00:03:19,329
who was also picked up hopping
three blocks from the scene
with the victim's wallet.
63
00:03:19,396 --> 00:03:21,331
Don't bet him.
Don't bet him?
64
00:03:21,398 --> 00:03:23,000
Mm-mmm.
Don't bet him?
65
00:03:23,066 --> 00:03:27,805
I'd just be
taking your money.
Another hundred. Same rider.
66
00:03:27,871 --> 00:03:30,307
Accepted.
67
00:03:32,009 --> 00:03:34,277
As we speak.
68
00:03:34,344 --> 00:03:36,713
Am I late?

Cuttin' it close, Teddy.
Oh! Huge line downstairs.
70
00:03:40,450 --> 00:03:42,819
Some guy was tryin'
to sneak in a staple gun.
71
00:03:42,885 --> 00:03:45,688
He said it was 'cause
he had thick pleadings.
Thick pleadings, man.
72
00:03:45,755 --> 00:03:48,558
You believe that?
The judge is coming
in, Eugene. Let's go.
73
00:03:48,625 --> 00:03:51,628
- Ah.
- Uh, Teddy Maynard. Hello.

[ Scoffs ]
She's the D.A., Teddy.
75

A dog bite?

I ask for my first real
assignment, and you give me
a dog bite.
82
00:04:56,392 --> 00:04:58,594
A lot of our cases
are small, Jimmy.
Right.
83
00:04:58,660 --> 00:05:01,330
It may not go to the Supreme
Court, but I take it seriously.
84
00:05:01,397 --> 00:05:04,099
Bobby, my sinuses are acting up
from all the dust on this file.
85
00:05:04,166 --> 00:05:05,967
It hasn't been touched
in a year.
86
00:05:06,034 --> 00:05:08,904
Just cover the depositions.
Can you do that, please?
87
00:05:08,970 --> 00:05:10,939
Fine.

Excuse me. Uh--

Oh, well, thank you.

Hey, listen, you guys have
nothin' to worry about.
96
00:05:36,665 --> 00:05:38,667
There's no way they're gonna
convict your client.
97
00:05:38,734 --> 00:05:43,404
- Oh, you were in the courtroom?
- So much for you noticin' me,
I guess. I'm on the jury.
98

I'm sorry. I--
I can't talk to you.

What, exactly, did he say?
100
00:05:57,085 --> 00:05:59,487
Exactly what I said he said.
101
00:05:59,554 --> 00:06:02,590
There's no way
he'll be convicted.
[ Groans ]
102
00:06:02,657 --> 00:06:06,294
All right. And what,
exactly, did you say?
103
00:06:06,361 --> 00:06:09,997
Nothing. I told him
I couldn't talk to him,
but it's still communication.
104
00:06:10,064 --> 00:06:13,033
I had a communication
with a juror. I gotta go
to the judge.
105
00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:15,870
- But you didn't
communicate with him.
- But even so,
106
00:06:15,936 --> 00:06:19,173

we have a mistrial.

not to Kenny.

All the evidence is in.

What are you suggesting--
that we don't tell?
111
00:06:33,554 --> 00:06:35,623
It's not like the process
has been tainted.
112

It's not like we were trading
on inside information.

to influence him in any way?

- Of course not!
- Did you discuss the case,
or did you try--
115

as I learned he was a juror,
I shut him down.

it has any effect.

Now, had you ever
seen this man before,

123
00:07:19,299 --> 00:07:22,469
Yes. About two minutes before.
I passed him on the sidewalk.

00:07:22,536 --> 00:07:25,605
He asked for change.
Did you give him
any money?
125
00:07:25,672 --> 00:07:29,776
No. It's not my practice.
I just kept walking.
126

Then, like I said,
after I left the A.T.M.,
there he was again.

Hmm.
And what happened then?

He told me if I
didn't give him my wallet,
129
00:07:38,585 --> 00:07:42,355
he'd knock me down
and hop up and down on my head,
ball to heel.

00:07:42,421 --> 00:07:46,325
Then he just snatched it out of
my hand and went bounding down

And did you see him again
after that?
The next morning.

that this case is
hardly worth our time.

It would seem so.

has authorized 24,000.

the difference and go,
uh, 75,000.

your client this afternoon.

a court reporter?

Mm-hmm. Until then.
169
00:09:49,847 --> 00:09:52,817
Ms. Bancock, as I readthe police report,
170
00:09:52,884 --> 00:09:56,420
you described the area
of the assault,
the conditions.
171
00:09:56,487 --> 00:09:59,657
You knew the exact time.
You provide a lot of detail.
172
00:09:59,724 --> 00:10:03,728
Well, there's nothing routine
about being mugged, Mr. Young.
Things tend to stick.
173
00:10:03,795 --> 00:10:06,063
[ Eugene ]Yes. Uh, I see.
174
00:10:06,130 --> 00:10:08,399
But when it came time
to describing the suspect,
175
00:10:08,465 --> 00:10:11,668
you just said,
"Black," "one leg."
176
00:10:11,735 --> 00:10:13,404
That's it.
177
00:10:13,470 --> 00:10:16,640
I think that description limits
the field, Mr. Young.
Yes.
178
00:10:16,707 --> 00:10:20,411
But you don't describe
anything about his face,
except the color.
179
00:10:20,477 --> 00:10:24,281
Just black,
and one leg.
180
00:10:24,348 --> 00:10:27,118
When a man hops out at you
in the dark on one foot,
181
00:10:27,184 --> 00:10:29,520
you don't tend to notice
how long his sideburns are.
182
00:10:29,586 --> 00:10:33,357
I can appreciate that,
Ms. Bancock,
183
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,062
more than you know.
184
00:10:41,265 --> 00:10:45,235
We do nothing and we say
nothing. What that guy said
has absolutely no effect.

I know technically.
Technically, it's a mistrial.
186
00:10:48,739 --> 00:10:52,509
If we were using
the information in any way,
that would be one thing.

but waiting for a verdict.

that this would settle.

It will. There's no way
they're gonna bother over

And why isn't Mr. Donnell
bothering to do
these depositions?

And then, uh, we need to talk.

No, we just present

Ellenor, he's the client.
Yes, I know.
218
00:12:59,834 --> 00:13:05,206
But if we tell him, then the
information comes into play. And
then we have to go to the judge.
219
00:13:05,273 --> 00:13:08,176
So, what are we gonna say?
[ Exhales ]
220
00:13:08,242 --> 00:13:11,412
All right.
We are going to convey
the D.A.'s offer.
221
00:13:11,479 --> 00:13:13,982
If he turns it down,
then what that juror said
is still meaningless.
222
00:13:14,048 --> 00:13:17,151
And then if he accepts thedeal, then it's an entirelydifferent story.
223
00:13:17,218 --> 00:13:19,120
We should just go
to the judge now.

with a juror is pretty much
an automatic mistrial.

just like you told me.

I'll ask the questions,
and you just tell the truth.
And don't get rattled.

I can change it if you think

You didn't tell me
the truth?
Well, of course not.
335
00:19:05,261 --> 00:19:07,730
You practically
warned me not to. You said
you'd get stuck with it.

But I didn't mean
I wanted you to lie to me.

You did rob that woman?

She didn't just not
give me the change, all right?

like, "How dare you be

- How dare you belittle my day."
- Oh, God.

Why not?
Well, it's against the law
for me to do that.
346

If a lawyer knows
his client's gonna lie,

00:19:39,528 --> 00:19:43,131
he has an ethical obligation
to talk him out
of testifying.

Well, it's the truth then.
I was lyin' about it
bein' a lie.

Look, Mr. Young,
350
00:19:51,239 --> 00:19:53,575
if I don't testify,
I'm gonna get convicted.
351
00:19:53,641 --> 00:19:56,344
- Would I be wrong on that?
- No.
352
00:19:56,411 --> 00:19:58,413

I gotta play by.
Uh-huh.

00:20:05,020 --> 00:20:09,057
I can't suborn perjury,
which means that you'll have
to testify in the narrative.

What's-- What's that mean?
Well, it means
I can't ask you questions.

- You just gotta get up there
and tell your story.
- Oh, that's all right.

Um, when did you
take over this case?

Mrs. Stevenson, this is just
the discovery part of the case.
It's standard fact-finding.

I told you that I didn't
want to go to trial.
379
00:21:23,330 --> 00:21:27,068
I know. But your case
is in very capable hands
with Jimmy here.

Yeah, and I've been readin' up
on, uh, animal behavior

to up the settlement. I do.

have you reached a verdict?
- We have.

I didn't hear wrong.

they were acquitting.
We told the client.

a plea bargain because
of this information.

Well, I was talking to somebody
else in the park, so my eyes
were going back and forth.

Mm-hmm. Who would this
other person be, sir?

It was a woman.
Someone I just met,
actually.

She was walking her dog
as well. Both animals were
on a leash, by the way.

Uh, you wouldn't have gotten
her name, would you?
Maybe a phone number?

- Actually, yes, I did.
- Oh, good.
464
00:26:38,207 --> 00:26:41,277
That makes things easier.
I'll get that later.
Uh, her dog.
465
00:26:41,343 --> 00:26:43,579
What kind was that?
I think it was a shar-pei.
466
00:26:43,645 --> 00:26:47,783
Shar-pei?
An old girlfriend told me
I looked like a shar-pei.

It isn't relevant

Perhaps... since we're all
busy people, you could stick
to what is relevant here.

00:26:57,459 --> 00:27:00,929
Of course.
Uh, you said, uh, you were
looking back and forth.

What did you see,
if you remember?

Well, I noticed a young girl
looking at Ross.
473
00:27:07,202 --> 00:27:11,740
I think she then
made a sudden movement,
as if to pet him.

00:27:35,864 --> 00:27:38,834
got robbed a week before
you got this rottweiler.
483
00:27:38,900 --> 00:27:42,437
Would that be
a coincidence?
Not exactly.
484
00:27:42,503 --> 00:27:46,141
[ Jimmy ]
You got this dog for some kind
of security thing.
485
00:27:46,207 --> 00:27:49,677
In part. Also as a pet.
Ever take it to any
dog obedience school?
486
00:27:49,744 --> 00:27:51,846
No, I trained him myself.
Oh.
487
00:27:51,913 --> 00:27:55,216
So, uh, you would be aware on
the behavior of these animals?
488
00:27:55,283 --> 00:27:59,220
- Come on, counsel.
- Well, I-- No, I don't mean,
like, you're an expert.
489
00:27:59,287 --> 00:28:01,089
Just some basic things.
490
00:28:01,156 --> 00:28:03,991
Are you aware
that rottweilers are
an aggressive breed?
491
00:28:04,058 --> 00:28:07,362
More aggressive
than average, yes.
492
00:28:07,428 --> 00:28:11,198
And you'd know that males,
especially un-neutered males,
are most aggressive.
493
00:28:11,266 --> 00:28:16,170
I don't think I knew that,
but I believe you
if you say it's so.
494
00:28:16,236 --> 00:28:18,806
Now, you said
you saw the little girl
looking at the dog.
495
00:28:18,873 --> 00:28:20,775
Did you know that looking
into a dog's eyes...
496
00:28:20,841 --> 00:28:24,178
is likely to be interpreted
by the animal
as an aggressive challenge?
497
00:28:25,580 --> 00:28:27,414
No, I didn't know that.
Okay.
498
00:28:27,482 --> 00:28:31,586
Uh, what kind of, uh, food
do you give him, generally?
499
00:28:31,652 --> 00:28:34,789
Dog food! Scraps
from the table sometimes.
500
00:28:34,855 --> 00:28:37,324
High on protein?
I haven't any idea.
501
00:28:37,391 --> 00:28:39,827
Do you know
that a high protein diet...
502
00:28:39,894 --> 00:28:42,863
for these kinds of animals
can make 'em more aggressive?
503
00:28:42,930 --> 00:28:45,432
No, I didn't
know that, counsel.
504
00:28:45,499 --> 00:28:47,935
This is kind
of a dangerous animal
you got, Doctor.
505
00:28:48,002 --> 00:28:50,204
I'd think you'd check upon some of these things.
506
00:28:50,270 --> 00:28:53,207
Could we just please
ask questions?
507
00:28:53,273 --> 00:28:57,677
The woman you met at the park--
By the way, did you ever
see her again?
508
00:28:57,744 --> 00:29:00,114
Yes, we had dinner
a few times.
509
00:29:00,180 --> 00:29:03,917
I think I'll take her name
and number now.
510
00:29:11,325 --> 00:29:14,261
Hey. How'd it go?
511
00:29:18,332 --> 00:29:20,900
How'd it go?[ Door Closes ]
512
00:29:20,967 --> 00:29:25,839
What? Oh, uh,
Kenny got six months.
513
00:29:25,905 --> 00:29:28,241
He's, um--
514
00:29:28,307 --> 00:29:31,210
He's out, pending appeal
on the probable cause issue.
515
00:29:31,277 --> 00:29:35,682
With any luck, uh,
we'll get him out altogether.
Ah, cool.
516
00:29:35,749 --> 00:29:38,084
We, on the other hand, uh--
517
00:29:39,686 --> 00:29:42,622
What?
518
00:29:42,689 --> 00:29:44,658
Things didn't go
so good for us.
519
00:29:44,724 --> 00:29:47,226
What happened?
520
00:29:49,829 --> 00:29:52,331
We're getting disbarred.
And it's her fault.
521
00:29:52,398 --> 00:29:54,467
- What?
- I should have never
listened to you.
522
00:29:54,533 --> 00:29:56,936
- What?
- You know, "Don't tell!
Don't tell!"
523
00:29:57,003 --> 00:29:59,906
- We were both
in on this, Lindsay.
- You kept saying, "Don't tell."
524
00:29:59,973 --> 00:30:01,607
[ Ellenor ]
Don't put the whole thing
off on me!
525
00:30:01,674 --> 00:30:04,477
- Hey!
- You're the one
who talked to the juror!
526
00:30:04,543 --> 00:30:07,180
There's a deposition
goin' on in here.
What's goin' on?
527
00:30:07,246 --> 00:30:10,616
You tell him.
No, you tell him.
That way you can allocate blame.
528
00:30:10,683 --> 00:30:13,252
I was saying from the start
we shouldn't take the chance.
You could have recused yourself.
529
00:30:13,319 --> 00:30:15,888
- You could have gone forward
on your own accord.
- Hey!
530
00:30:15,954 --> 00:30:18,257
Let's go to my office...
now.
531
00:30:20,593 --> 00:30:23,662
It's not that she wouldn't
give me the change.
532
00:30:23,729 --> 00:30:26,164
I get rejection every day.
533
00:30:26,231 --> 00:30:29,001
But the way she wouldn't
even look at me,
534
00:30:29,067 --> 00:30:31,770
like it would bring her down
to acknowledge I was there.
535
00:30:31,837 --> 00:30:35,408
Now, I joke about things
all the time.
536
00:30:35,474 --> 00:30:37,943
In fact, that's how I get by.
I make jokes.
[ Chuckles ]
537
00:30:38,010 --> 00:30:41,680
See, usually I can make
everything a joke.
538
00:30:41,747 --> 00:30:44,617
But this one
kind of stuck with me.
539
00:30:44,683 --> 00:30:48,854
Anyway, I went aroundthe corner on Tremont,
540
00:30:48,921 --> 00:30:50,856
where we all kinda hang out.
541
00:30:50,923 --> 00:30:54,526
You know, panhandler central.
And Joey Free, the guy
I told you about earlier?
542
00:30:54,592 --> 00:30:58,663
He's also got one leg.
He starts yellin' at me
for bein' a victim.
543
00:30:58,730 --> 00:31:01,900
Sayin' feelin' sorry for myself
was my worst problem.
544
00:31:01,967 --> 00:31:06,638
And I just snapped back, "Easy
for you to say, Mr. Crutch.
I can't even afford crutches!"
545
00:31:06,704 --> 00:31:11,109
And Joey, he just jumps up,
throws his crutches
to the ground and hops off.
546
00:31:11,176 --> 00:31:15,313
About a minute later,
he comes back, throws a wallet
at me and says, "See?
547
00:31:15,380 --> 00:31:17,282
I'm no victim."
548
00:31:17,349 --> 00:31:20,552
The man had jumped up and
snatched that woman's wallet.
549
00:31:20,618 --> 00:31:23,155
Now, I had it
when the police came.
I certainly did.
550
00:31:23,221 --> 00:31:25,923
But I didn't take it.
It was Joey Free.
551
00:31:25,990 --> 00:31:31,829
'Cept Free is not
his real last name. I kinda
don't want to turn him in.
552
00:31:31,896 --> 00:31:34,966
There's certain codes
we gotta live by.
553
00:31:35,032 --> 00:31:37,769
But I'll be honest about this,
554
00:31:37,835 --> 00:31:41,338
though I'm sure my lawyer
will probably berate me
for it later.
555
00:31:42,974 --> 00:31:45,643
I wish it was me.
556
00:31:45,710 --> 00:31:49,213
I wish I was
the guy that jumped up
and took that woman's money.
557
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:53,885
I'd be sittin' here prouder
today if I hopped up to that
woman and said, "I exist!"
558
00:31:53,951 --> 00:31:56,287
Now, I don't believe
in stealin'.
559
00:31:56,353 --> 00:32:00,457
But if she was keepin' in her
wallet the idea that some people
are less worthy than her,
560
00:32:00,524 --> 00:32:02,459
then I'm glad she lost it.
561
00:32:02,526 --> 00:32:04,495
Now, I didn't take it.
562
00:32:04,561 --> 00:32:08,065
But I'd be proud to sit here
and say that I did.
563
00:32:08,132 --> 00:32:10,234
And that's the truth.
564
00:32:19,243 --> 00:32:21,078
Why didn't you come
to me with this?
565
00:32:21,145 --> 00:32:24,548
Because you would have gone
along with it. And then you'd
be in the same trouble we are.
566
00:32:24,615 --> 00:32:26,983
I wouldn't have gone along!
I would have told the judge!
567
00:32:27,050 --> 00:32:30,020
- Oh, please, Bobby!
You never would--
- It was jury tampering!
568
00:32:30,086 --> 00:32:33,424
- We didn't tamper.
We only withheld--
- Ellenor, for God's sake,
569
00:32:33,490 --> 00:32:36,092
communication with a juror,
you go straight to the judge!
570
00:32:36,159 --> 00:32:37,928
- No question.
- Even if we're gonna forfeit--
571
00:32:37,994 --> 00:32:40,130
No question!
572
00:32:41,532 --> 00:32:44,334
This is--
This is beyond stupid.
573
00:32:44,401 --> 00:32:48,271
You risked your careers.
You completely jeopardized the
reputation of this entire firm.
574
00:32:48,338 --> 00:32:51,074
What the hell couldyou have been thinking?
575
00:32:51,141 --> 00:32:53,043
- "The reputation of this firm."
- What?
576
00:32:53,109 --> 00:32:56,146
- Nothing.
- Hey!
577
00:32:57,781 --> 00:33:00,050
The reputation of this firm
doesn't matter to you?
578
00:33:00,116 --> 00:33:02,686
Bobby, all we did
was live up to your example.
579
00:33:04,554 --> 00:33:08,391
You just sold out a client--
Lyle Roberts.
Let's not forget that.
580
00:33:08,458 --> 00:33:13,563
You just finished arguing
jury nullification.
581
00:33:13,629 --> 00:33:16,900
You got a murderer off
on the moral integrity...
582
00:33:16,967 --> 00:33:19,469
of his cold-blooded execution.
583
00:33:21,537 --> 00:33:24,107
What exactly do you think
our reputation is here, Bobby?
584
00:33:24,174 --> 00:33:26,509
I mean, who are you kidding?
585
00:33:26,576 --> 00:33:30,080
We are reasonable doubt
for a reasonable fee.
586
00:33:30,146 --> 00:33:32,182

That is exactly what we are.

And what Lindsay and I did
may not have been ethical,
590
00:33:45,728 --> 00:33:50,199
it was completely
in the spirit and the tradition
of Bobby Donnell.

594
00:34:03,979 --> 00:34:06,348
do not lecture me.
595
00:34:28,971 --> 00:34:30,905

[ Door Opens, Closes ]

00:34:46,388 --> 00:34:49,190
You heard what
Ellenor said?
600
00:34:49,258 --> 00:34:51,660
It escaped a little
through the walls.
601
00:34:53,762 --> 00:34:58,733
Bobby, I think
the problem is this place
isn't just you anymore.

There's also them.

a good leader in you...

She's not I.D.'ing

She's identifying the man
she saw in police custody.

to conclude that the man
they had must be the guy.

But remember,
she really couldn't identify
the man's face.
631
00:36:37,597 --> 00:36:42,502
She didn't give the police
any description other than
"Black, one leg." That was it.

to recruit black amputees...

00:37:15,802 --> 00:37:17,870
What do you think of me?
642
00:37:17,937 --> 00:37:20,239
- Counsel--
- They could have used crutches.
643
00:37:20,306 --> 00:37:23,375
Or, I don't know,
maybe a wheelchair?
644
00:37:23,442 --> 00:37:26,245
He deliberately
had them hop.
645
00:37:26,312 --> 00:37:28,214
I'm not sure this is something
you can appeal.
646
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:33,485
Now, let him finish
his closing. Please.
647
00:37:35,187 --> 00:37:37,289
Step back.
648
00:37:38,457 --> 00:37:41,560
200,000? Yesterday,
you said 75,000.
649
00:37:41,627 --> 00:37:43,662
- Well, today I got more facts.
- Oh, you've got more facts?
650
00:37:43,729 --> 00:37:46,265
I've got more facts.
Let's hear your "facts."
651
00:37:46,332 --> 00:37:48,800
The facts are your guy
bought a security dog--
652
00:37:48,867 --> 00:37:52,338
a dangerous instrument
he took no steps to train
or even learn about.
653
00:37:52,404 --> 00:37:55,341
Either he didn't know
the risks of this animal,
which makes him negligent,
654
00:37:55,407 --> 00:37:57,609
or he did, which
makes him reckless--
your pick.
655
00:37:57,676 --> 00:37:59,978
So, 200,000--
I'm not finished
with my facts.
656
00:38:00,045 --> 00:38:03,249
Oh. Oh, well, go ahead.
You want me to go ahead?
657
00:38:03,315 --> 00:38:06,818
I said, "go ahead."
This was preventable.
658
00:38:06,885 --> 00:38:09,287
Dogs like this need
to be socialized.
This one wasn't.
659
00:38:09,355 --> 00:38:12,791
Dogs like this need to be
taught submissive behavior.
This one wasn't.
660
00:38:12,858 --> 00:38:15,961
Dogs like this should
be fed low protein.
This one wasn't.
661
00:38:16,027 --> 00:38:19,430
If he chooses to dispense
with these precautions, fine.
662
00:38:19,498 --> 00:38:22,400
It's his choice.
He takes the risk.
663
00:38:22,467 --> 00:38:24,903
But if he's
gonna go to a park--
a children's park--
664
00:38:24,970 --> 00:38:27,606
and hit up on women
and not even pay attention...
665
00:38:27,673 --> 00:38:32,077
when he knows a child
is two feet from
his security rottweiler,
666
00:38:32,143 --> 00:38:34,379
he puts the child
at risk too.
667
00:38:34,445 --> 00:38:36,581
She lost her face.
668
00:38:36,647 --> 00:38:39,785
He got a phone number
and a couple of dinner dates.
669
00:38:39,851 --> 00:38:42,153
That's what
the jury's gonna hear.
670
00:38:42,220 --> 00:38:45,223
Is that right?
That's right.
671
00:38:45,290 --> 00:38:49,027
200,000. Nothing less.
672
00:38:49,094 --> 00:38:51,997
I'll see you in court.
673
00:38:52,063 --> 00:38:53,898
I doubt it.
674
00:38:56,767 --> 00:38:58,569
What is this?
675
00:38:59,837 --> 00:39:04,509
Um, hi.
Yes, hi.
676
00:39:04,575 --> 00:39:07,077
[ Sighs ]
One alternative offer.
677
00:39:07,144 --> 00:39:09,347
What? What? What?
678
00:39:09,414 --> 00:39:13,818
150,000 and whatever
it takes to fix her face.
679
00:39:13,884 --> 00:39:16,654
Excuse me?
Your client's a doctor
at Mass General.
680
00:39:16,721 --> 00:39:18,656
I'm sure he's got lots
of colleagues.
681
00:39:18,723 --> 00:39:21,426
And I'm not talking
about one operation.
682
00:39:21,492 --> 00:39:27,164
It's whatever it takes
to make her the pretty girl
she was pre-rottweiler.
683
00:39:27,231 --> 00:39:31,501
That could turn out to be
cheaper than 200,000
if he gets the right doctors.
684
00:39:31,569 --> 00:39:36,106
150,000 and her smile.
685
00:39:36,173 --> 00:39:38,075
Final offer.
686
00:39:40,945 --> 00:39:43,480
Tell Eugene he can wait here.
He doesn't have to
wait down at court.
687
00:39:43,547 --> 00:39:45,349
Bobby, he expects
the jury back any minute.
688
00:39:45,415 --> 00:39:47,818
This doesn't even
involve Eugene.
This does involve Eugene.
689
00:39:47,885 --> 00:39:50,855
This is a meeting
about this firm. Eugene
is a member of this firm.
690
00:39:50,921 --> 00:39:53,690
Fine.
Ellenor!
691
00:39:53,757 --> 00:39:56,293
Look, let's just start.
He gets here when
he gets here, okay?
692
00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:00,297
Okay, first,
the disbarment proceeding,
I will represent both of you.
693
00:40:00,364 --> 00:40:02,732
We shouldn't
get independent counsel?
We probably should,
694
00:40:02,799 --> 00:40:06,070
but on this, I think
I can be more persuasive.
695
00:40:06,136 --> 00:40:08,138
Okay, now,
696
00:40:08,205 --> 00:40:12,108
let's clear the air
about all this being
in the spirit of my tradition.
697
00:40:12,176 --> 00:40:15,345
Ellenor.
I cleared my air
yesterday, Bobby.
698
00:40:15,412 --> 00:40:20,884
We bend, we fold, we mutilate
all the rules around here.
It's like our motto.
699
00:40:20,950 --> 00:40:23,387
Would you agree with that,
Lindsay?
700
00:40:23,453 --> 00:40:25,354
Well, pretty much.
701
00:40:25,422 --> 00:40:27,390
Jimmy?
702
00:40:27,457 --> 00:40:29,826
I don't know.
703
00:40:29,893 --> 00:40:33,497
Truth is,I don't know what we are.
704
00:40:33,563 --> 00:40:36,533
I think what we are
and what we could be
are two different things.
705
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,036
- Meaning?
- Meaning we've been a firm
that'll represent anybody.
706
00:40:40,103 --> 00:40:42,906
Financially, we've had to.
And the clientele we have--
You know, let's face it.
707
00:40:42,972 --> 00:40:46,142
The "reputation"
that we're honorable,
that we play by the rules,
708
00:40:46,209 --> 00:40:48,812
that would cost us
our clients.
709
00:40:48,878 --> 00:40:52,715
The Kenny Tripps which makeup this practice, they relyon us to cheat a little.
710
00:40:52,782 --> 00:40:54,783
To stick up for them first,
the rules second.
711
00:40:54,851 --> 00:40:57,453
You know, they might love us,
but to the legal community,
712
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,555
we're the lawyers
who give lawyers a bad name.
713
00:40:59,622 --> 00:41:02,291
The bread and butter
that's kept us afloat,
714
00:41:02,358 --> 00:41:05,061
it's mainly been
the drug dealers,
the Kenny Tripps.
715
00:41:05,128 --> 00:41:07,630
How do we just abandon them?
[ Ellenor ]
Look, we abandon them...
716
00:41:07,696 --> 00:41:11,334
because there are plenty
of other lawyers who are
desperate to do that work.
717
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,703
We're not that
desperate anymore.
718
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,342
Or maybe you're more desperate
than you could ever know.
719
00:41:19,408 --> 00:41:21,209
And what's that
supposed to mean?
720
00:41:21,277 --> 00:41:24,012
It means maybe you like
it here in the trenches.
721
00:41:24,079 --> 00:41:27,316
You know, maybe you
don't want to climb out.
722
00:41:27,383 --> 00:41:31,920
But if so, be honest about it
so we can get out while
we still have the chance.
723
00:41:34,156 --> 00:41:37,460
In the matter
ofCommonwealth versus
Theodore Maynard,
724
00:41:37,526 --> 00:41:40,996
on charge 62434,
725
00:41:41,063 --> 00:41:43,398
we, the jury,
find the defendant...
726
00:41:43,465 --> 00:41:45,601
not guilty.
727
00:41:45,668 --> 00:41:48,771
- [ Man ]
All right!
- [ Maynard Laughing ]
728
00:41:48,837 --> 00:41:50,939
Thank you, Mr. Young.
You were awesome, man.
729
00:41:51,006 --> 00:41:55,110
- I'm even gonna pay you.
- Oh, that's nice,
but, Teddy--
730
00:41:55,177 --> 00:41:58,881
Look. Look, I know, all right?
I'm gonna stay clear
from this kind of crap.
731
00:41:58,947 --> 00:42:01,950
I need to grow up.
I'm gonna.
732
00:42:05,887 --> 00:42:07,923
[ Renee ]
Does it ever bother you...
733
00:42:07,990 --> 00:42:12,360
getting all these guys
off on acquittals
when you know they did it?
734
00:42:12,427 --> 00:42:14,362
[ Eugene ]Sometimes.
735
00:42:14,429 --> 00:42:18,366
But am I all torn up overthe idea of Teddy Maynardout there--
736
00:42:18,433 --> 00:42:21,969
Hopping free?
[ Chuckles ]
Oh.
737
00:42:22,036 --> 00:42:25,707
Come on. Let me, uh,
pay off some of this debt
by taking you to dinner.
738
00:42:27,575 --> 00:42:30,812
I'm... married, Renee.
739
00:42:30,878 --> 00:42:34,682
You're... separated, Eugene.
740
00:42:36,918 --> 00:42:39,821
Y-Yeah. Well, I--
I got a kid...
741
00:42:39,887 --> 00:42:42,857
who's not ready
for his dad to be
out with a--
742
00:42:44,626 --> 00:42:48,529
a D.A... just yet.
743
00:42:48,596 --> 00:42:50,531
Otherwise, I would--
744
00:42:50,598 --> 00:42:52,566
It's--
745
00:42:52,634 --> 00:42:54,802
[ Chuckles ]
746
00:42:54,869 --> 00:42:56,904
Hey.
747
00:42:56,971 --> 00:43:01,308
Anyway, congratulations, again,
on your wonderful victory.
748
00:43:03,310 --> 00:43:05,279
Thanks.
749
00:43:07,114 --> 00:43:09,283
[ Sighs ]
So--
750
00:43:10,985 --> 00:43:14,288
Um, I'll...
see you in court?
751
00:43:14,355 --> 00:43:16,557
Yeah.
752
00:43:21,195 --> 00:43:23,564
[ Door Closes ]
753
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,602
I don't--
I don't believe it!
754
00:43:28,669 --> 00:43:32,939
I'm still in
a little shock myself.
$140,000!
755
00:43:33,006 --> 00:43:35,776
Plus as many operations
as it takes
to fix her smile.
756
00:43:36,943 --> 00:43:41,314
I-- I don't know
what to say.
757
00:43:41,382 --> 00:43:45,486
- Well, you gotta say "yes"
before I go--
- Oh, well, yes! My God, yes!
758
00:43:45,552 --> 00:43:48,054
I-- I-I--
I'd like to go tell her.
759
00:43:51,391 --> 00:43:54,360
Oh, and they know that I--
I don't have medical
insurance and--
760
00:43:54,427 --> 00:43:57,430
No hospital costs,
period.
I'll get it in writing.
761
00:43:57,497 --> 00:44:02,002
We can make appointments
for her to meet with the plastic
surgeon as soon as we close.
762
00:44:02,068 --> 00:44:05,638
Well, I owe you all
a big apology because...
763
00:44:05,705 --> 00:44:08,208
you don't know what
I was thinkin' of you all.

- All true.

Thank you.
767
00:44:26,359 --> 00:44:29,662
Am I to understand that
instead of accepting 200,000,
768
00:44:29,729 --> 00:44:33,133
you settled on 140,000,
plus hospital care?
769
00:44:33,199 --> 00:44:37,203
- Yeah.
- You realize we can't take a
contingency on a girl's smile?
770
00:44:37,270 --> 00:44:39,905
If you had settled for 200,000
on a straight cash deal,
771
00:44:39,972 --> 00:44:42,775
this firm would have made
an extra $16,000.

00:44:42,976 --> 00:44:46,942
You do know that?
It crossed my mind.

you don't know
what this place is.
