Peter: DUDE, COULD YOU EAT
A LITTLE FASTER?

I COULD, IF I WANTED
TO RUIN THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE.

WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?

WE HAVE A PARTNERS MEETING
AT 9:30.

-AND?
-IT'S 9:45.

I DON'T LIKE WHAT THIS WHOLE PARTNERSHIP
THING IS TURNING YOU INTO.

-OH, YEAH? WHAT'S THAT?
-A TOTAL DICK.

ALL RIGHT. LESS TALK.
MORE EATING. COME ON!

YOU KNOW, IF I WAS
ON A DESERT ISLAND

AND COULD ONLY HAVE ONE FOOD
FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE,

NO-BRAINER --
CHICKEN AND WAFFLES.

THAT'S TWO, STUPID.

I THINK AT THIS POINT
IT'S CONSIDERED ONE.

-WHAT WOULD YOU BRING?
-YOUR MOM.

PETER, IT'S A PARTNERS MEETING.
WE'RE PARTNERS.

THEY CAN'T START WITHOUT US!
RELAX!

Stanton:
ANY OTHER BUSINESS?

UM, YES.

THE SUMMER ASSOCIATES SHADOW
PROGRAM STARTS THIS WEEK,

-AND --
-Man: [ GROANS ] AGAIN?

OH. ALL RIGHT.
[ CHUCKLES ]

WE HAVE A STRONG CROP
OF LAWYERS THIS YEAR

WE'D LIKE
TO STAY ON WITH US.

IMPRESS THEM WITH YOUR GUILE,
INTELLECT, AND FINESSE.

BUT DON'T GO CRAZY WOOING THEM
WITH WINE AND SONG.

YES, LET'S KEEP IT
PROFESSIONAL.

I NEARLY FORGOT THIS.
MICKEY GOTELLI.

UH, HE'S ACTUALLY
MY AUTO MECHANIC.

I WON'T LET ANYONE ELSE
TOUCH MY MORGAN SuperSport.

BEAUTIFUL CAR.

THIS IS A CHARMING STORY.

WELL, HIS BROTHER,

THE BLACK SHEEP OF THE FAMILY, SAL --
HE NEEDS OUR COUNSEL.

APPARENTLY HE WORKS
IN A CHOP SHOP DOWNTOWN.

NOW, SAL HAS DECIDED HE WANTS
TO GET OUT OF THE BUSINESS --

GO STRAIGHT, AS IT WERE.

SO HE DISCUSSED WITH HIS
COLLEAGUES AN EXIT STRATEGY.

EXIT STRATEGY? WHY?

YES, HE BEAT THEM UNCONSCIOUS
WITH A MONKEY WRENCH,

PUT ALL THREE OF THEM
IN HOSPITAL.

NOW, THE PROSECUTION
IS CLAIMING

THAT IT WAS PREMEDITATED
AND THAT HE JUMPED THEM.

THE EVIDENCE TO COUNTER THIS
IS, UH, RATHER THIN.

SO, UH, DOES PETER AND JARED'S NEW CLIENT
HAVE A CRIMINAL RECORD?

A DAZZLING ONE, YES.

BUT WHO SAID IT WAS THEIR
CLIENT? I HAVEN'T ASSIGNED IT.

ANYONE WANT IT?

ANYONE?

YEAH.
DIDN'T THINK SO.

THEY SHOULD REALLY COME
TO THE MORNING MEETING.

YEAH.

I CRACKED THEIR SKULLS OPEN
AFTER THEY JUMPED ME.

-NO. NO.
-NO.

THEY OUTNUMBERED YOU,

AND SO YOU FOUGHT OFF YOUR ATTACKERS
WITH THE ONLY WEAPONS YOU COULD FIND.

COME ON, SAL. WE'VE BEEN
THROUGH THIS ALL DAY.

-I KNOW, I KNOW. SORRY.
-OKAY.

THESE FELONS WANTED YOU

TO STAY AND CUT UP
STOLEN AUTOMOBILES.

-OKAY.
-BUT YOU WANTED A CAREER CHANGE.

YOU WANTED TO MAKE AN HONEST BUCK.
THEY WOULDN'T LET YOU.

AND THE REPEATED DEFENSIVE
BLOWS TO THEIR HEADS

WERE TO SEND A MESSAGE --

"HELP ME GET INTO
USED-CAR SALES."

THAT'S TRUE.
I LIKE WORKING WITH PEOPLE.

[ SIGHS ]

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

WE'RE NOT SURE WE CAN PUT YOU
ON THE STAND.

THIS IS MY THIRD STRIKE.
I'D GO AWAY FOR 25 YEARS.

YES, SAL,
BUT IF YOU TESTIFY,

THE JURY GETS TO HEAR
EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR PAST.

I NEVER FOUGHT ANY OF THOSE OTHER BEEFS
AGAINST ME, NEVER PUSHED A CASE TO TRIAL.

-KNOW WHY?
-WHY?

WHEN I'M GUILTY,
I TAKE MY PENANCE LIKE A MAN.

THIS TIME'S DIFFERENT.

WHAT I DID...

...I DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE.

[ ROCK MUSIC PLAYS ]

♪ OOH, WHAT A MIXTURE ♪

♪ SUCH A VIVID PICTURE ♪

♪ OOH, WHAT A MIXTURE ♪

♪ IF I MUST SAY SO MYSELF ♪

-HERE YOU ARE.
-Sal: THANKS.

Peter: ALL RIGHT, SAL. WE'LL
SEE YOU IN COURT THIS AFTERNOON.

-Sal: YOU GOT IT.
-HEY, SAL. WEAR A TIE.

OKAY.
YOU HAVE TO TIE IT FOR ME!

-WHERE DO WE FIND 'EM?
-EXCUSE ME? THIS CASE FOUND US.

MAYBE NEXT TIME WE DON'T SKIP
THE PARTNERS MEETING

BECAUSE YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE
CHICKEN AND WAFFLES.

IT IS THE PERFECT MARRIAGE
OF TASTES. YOU KNOW THAT.

YES, I'M VERY AWARE OF SWEET AND SAVORY.

AND GUESS WHICH NEW CLIENT KARP
CHERRY-PICKED FOR HIMSELF AT THAT MEETING.

IF YOU SAY MEDIEVAL TIMES,
I'M GONNA CRY.

WE COULD'VE BEEN JOUSTING
RIGHT NOW, BUT, NO.

I'M NOT GOING TO APOLOGIZE
FOR BEING SPONTANEOUS.

I WANT TO GO TO THE BATTING
CAGES RIGHT NOW. SEE?

I'D LOVE TO, BUT THERE'S A JURY POOL WITH
SAL'S NAME WAITING FOR US.

WE'LL DO IT
AT THE BATTING CAGES.

-HI, THERE.
-HEY.

-HI!
-OH. SASHA.

-WE MET AT THE SUMMER ASSOCIATES DINNER.
-RIGHT.

I'M SHADOWING THIS WEEK.

-FANTASTIC!
-THAT'S GREAT!

WE'RE ABOUT TO PICK A JURY,
SO THIS IS KIND OF THE PERFECT TIME.

OH, ACTUALLY, I'M LOOKING
FOR HANNA LINDEN.

-I'M SHADOWING HER.
-OH.

-DOWN THE HALL, TO THE LEFT.
-OH.

-THANKS.
-YEAH.

-THAT'S NOT FAIR. SEE? THAT'S NOT FAIR.
-OHH. ABSOLUTELY NOT.

-JARED? PETER?
-HI.

HI. I'M BONNIE APPEL.
I'LL BE SHADOWING YOU ALL WEEK.

-FAN-TASTIC.
-THAT'S GREAT.

I-I WON'T GET IN THE WAY,
I PROMISE.

I-I PREFER TO OBSERVE
RATHER THAN ASK QUESTIONS.

BUT I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION,

AND IT IS THAT DO YOU PREFER ME
TO ASK QUESTIONS OR...?

GRETA, GRETA,
NOW'S NOT A GOOD WEEK.

-BONNIE.
-WE'RE STARTING A TRIAL.

WE'VE GOT JURY SELECTION.
IT'S AN EXTREMELY TENSE PROCESS.

WE REALLY HAVE TO BE
IN THE ZONE RIGHT NOW.

WE DON'T HAVE TIME
TO SHARE THE ESSENCE OF...

-US.
-...US.

I THINK IT'S MANDATORY.

OKAY, FIRST LESSON -- YOU'RE GONNA WANT TO
DIAL DOWN THAT ATTITUDE.

UH...

[ SIGHS ]

SIGNED BY STANTON.

-[ SIGHS ] WELCOME!
-THANKS.

-I'LL GO GET MY STUFF.
-OKAY!

IT'S DAYS LIKE THESE.

AREN'T YOU GLAD YOU HAD
CHICKEN AND WAFFLES?

YEAH! YOU'RE GLAD YOU HAD
CHICKEN AND WAFFLES.

TRIALS ARE WON AND LOST BEFORE
OPENING STATEMENTS, BONNIE.

IT'S ALL ABOUT PICKING
THE RIGHT JURY.

PICKING A JURY
IS A DESELECTION PROCESS.

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?

YOU WANT TO IDENTIFY JURORS
YOU WANT TO STRIKE,

NOT JURORS
YOU WANT TO PICK.

VERY GOOD.

YEAH, YOU WANT TO FLAG
THE JURORS

WHO WON'T BE RECEPTIVE
TO YOUR ARGUMENTS

WITHOUT DRAWING ATTENTION
TO THE GOOD JURORS YOU WANT.

THE CASE WE'RE DOING NOW,
WE WANT A JUROR

WHO IS RECEPTIVE
TO A SELF-DEFENSE ARGUMENT.

-WHAT'S YOUR GAME PLAN?
-SELF-DEFENSE.

SAL WANTED OUT, BUT
THEY PULLED HIM BACK IN.

REALLY? YOU'RE QUOTING
"GODFATHER III"?

'CAUSE IT'S THE BEST ONE.

THE FACTS SUPPORT
SELF-DEFENSE.

WE ANTICIPATE THEY'LL ARGUE
THAT IT CROSSED THE LINE

FROM SELF-DEFENSE
TO EXTREME PREJUDICE.

-HOW'S YOUR JURY SHAPING UP?
-TOO EARLY TO TELL.

FIND GUN OWNERS.

SELF-DEFENSE
IS SELF-EVIDENT.

WOMEN JURORS ARE HARDER ON WOMEN
THAN THEY ARE ON MEN.

-AND YOUR CLIENT IS MALE.
-REALLY? HADN'T NOTICED.

[ SCOFFS ]
I'D PICK MOSTLY WOMEN.

THEY'RE SYMPATHETIC,

WILLING TO FORGIVE MEN MORE
EASILY THAN MEN FORGIVE WOMEN.

WE'RE COVERED, BUT THANKS.

BESIDES, WE'RE ALL
ABOUT THE WOMEN.

OH, I BET
YOU THINK YOU ARE.

FOR INSTANCE, IF WE'RE BETTER-LOOKING THAN
OPPOSING COUNSEL...

...WHICH IS
ALMOST ALWAYS...

WE STACK THE JURY WITH ATTRACTIVE WOMEN
WHO WILL DIG US.

IF OPPOSING COUNSEL IS
BETTER-LOOKING THAN US...

WHICH IS ALMOST NEVER.

...THEN WE THROW ON
WEDDING RINGS

AND STOCK THE POND WITH
LESS-ATTRACTIVE CITIZENS

WHO ARE THREATENED
BY HANDSOME MEN.

THAT'S JUST STUPID.

BONNIE, MEET KARP,
NEPOTISM'S POSTER CHILD.

NEPOTISM DOESN'T HAVE
A POSTER CHILD.

YOUR SUMMER ASSOCIATE IS LIKE THE DOG
WHO GETS THE HOMELESS GUY AS HIS MASTER.

-WHO ARE THE D.A.s ON YOUR CASE?
-PALMER AND SHAW.

OH? YOU BETTER GET
THOSE WEDDING RINGS.

-THERE YOU GO.
-[ ELEVATOR BELL DINGS ] THANKS.

YOU LOOK GOOD.
LET'S DO IT.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

OH, IT'S THE GUYS
YOU TUNED UP, SAL.

"TUNED UP"?
OKAY, PESCI.

THEY JUST CAME
TO INTIMIDATE YOU.

-THEY FAILED.
-NOT WITH ME!

Jared:
OH, CHECK IT OUT!

HEY, KIDS, THE CIRCUS
IS BACK IN TOWN.

-ARE YOU GUYS READY?
-WHERE'S PALMER AND SHAW?

UH, REASSIGNED. BY ME.
IT'S GOOD TO BE KING.

OH, BROUGHT OUT THE BIG GUN.
IT'S HIS ONLY SHOT.

THOUGHT YOU'D BE TOO BUSY FOR A TRIAL,
GIVEN THAT WHOLE CAMPAIGN OF YOURS.

UNLESS, OF COURSE, YOU NEED THIS
TO UP YOUR PROFILE.

[ LAUGHS ]

UM [CLEARS THROAT]
I HAVE NOT OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED

MY CANDIDACY
FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY

BUT AM ACCEPTING DONATIONS.

-I DON'T HAVE ANY CHANGE.
-I FORGOT MY MURSE.

AH, IT'S ALL RIGHT.
HOW 'BOUT WE PICK A JURY, HUH?

-LET'S DO THAT.
-OKAY.

BE JUST LIKE THE OLD DAYS AT MEGGET
AND TOWNE, HUH?

OH, YEAH.

HERE'S HOPING FOR
A HAPPIER ENDING, THOUGH.

I DON'T THINK THE ENDING
COULD BE ANY HAPPIER.

-WHAT ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT?
-UH, THE --

NOTHING. NOTHING.

IT'S NOT A STATE SECRET THAT YOU WERE
FIRED FROM MEGGET AND TOWNE

FOR SLEEPING WITH
THE BOSS' DAUGHTER.

HEWETT WAS WITH MR. MEGGET
WHEN THEY WALKED IN ON US

AT THAT CHRISTMAS PARTY --
HE TIPPED THE OLD MAN OFF.

YOU DON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE.

-IS THIS 'CAUSE HE SAW YOU NAKED?
-PLEASE.

I STREAKED THE '97 ROSE BOWL.
100,000 PEOPLE.

IT WAS COLD.

-IN HINDSIGHT, REGRETTABLE.
-YEAH.

Judge Vincent:
AND MAY I REMIND YOU --

DO NOT DISCUSS THIS CASE WITH OTHER
MEMBERS OF THE JURY

OR YOUR FAMILIES.

-DO NOT ENGAGE IN ANY CONVERSATION...
-SAL, STOP TWITCHING.

-...WITH THE LAWYERS ON THIS CASE.
-I'M ITCHY.

NOW, I'M GOING TO ASK
MOST OF THE QUESTIONS,

BUT OCCASIONALLY I WILL ACCEPT

OR LET THE LAWYERS
ASK THEIR OWN.

NOW, IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION,

YOU MAY WRITE IT DOWN
OR HAND IT TO A BAILIFF.

BEFORE WE GET STARTED,
YOUR HONOR,

MAY I SAY THAT THIS IS
THE BEST COLLECTION OF JURORS

I'VE EVER SEEN ASSEMBLED?

NO, YOU MAY NOT.

IT IS A JURY
ALL-STAR TEAM HERE.

YOUR HONOR, THAT WAS HIGHLY
INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR

FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS,
WELL, WRITTEN THE BOOK

ON HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE
BEHAVIOR.

Judge Vincent:
MR. BASH AND MR. FRANKLIN,

THAT WAS WARNING NUMBER ONE.

THE NEXT STEP IS CONTEMPT.

YOU GOT IT, YOUR HONOR.

AND, YOUR HONOR, WE APOLOGIZE
TO D.A. HEWETT,

WHO WAS
UNFORTUNATELY CORRECT

IN PREVENTING US
FROM PRAISING THE JURY.

LET'S GET STARTED.

I HAVE ANGER ISSUES
WITH MEXICANS AND ITALIANS.

ESPECIALLY ITALIANS.

-I GUESS I'M SELF-HATING.
-I SEE THAT YOU ARE A SCHOOLTEACHER.

CONGRATULATIONS.

YOUR ANSWER
IS NOW PUBLIC RECORD.

Peter: YOUR HONOR,
THE DEFENSE WOULD ASK THE COURT

TO THANK AND EXCUSE
JUROR NUMBER 1.

I'M A BUTCHER
AT PODESTO MEATS.

AND, UH, HOW LONG
HAVE YOU BEEN IN BUSINESS?

-27 YEARS.
-BUTCHER'S GOOD. WE LIKE HIM.

THEY'RE DESENSITIZED TO VIOLENCE, WHICH
WILL HELP WHEN THEY SEE THE PICTURES

OF WHAT YOU DID
TO THOSE THUGS.

AND WHAT DO YOU DO, SIR?

I'M A PRIEST.

YOUR HONOR, THE DEFENSE
WOULD ASK THE COURT

TO THANK AND EXCUSE
JUROR NUMBER 3.

HE SEEMS NICE.
AND I NEVER MISS MASS.

I DON'T THINK
HE'D APPRECIATE

THE NUANCES
OF YOUR SELF-DEFENSE.

LOOK AT HEWETT.
HE HASN'T CHALLENGED ONE JUROR.

WHAT'S THAT ABOUT?

ALL RIGHT, SO FAR,
WE AND THE PROSECUTION

HAVE AGREED
ON EIGHT JURORS.

FOR A SELF-DEFENSE ARGUMENT,
I LIKE WHO WE HAVE SO FAR.

WE GOT THE SHEEP, BUT WE NEED
THE SHEPHERDS.

-WHY, BONNIE?
-THE MAJORITY OF JURORS ARE FOLLOWERS.

THEY'LL GO WHEREVER
THE ALPHAS WANT TO LEAD THEM.

ALPHAS WHO WILL SHAPE OPINION,

BECOME A JURY FOREMAN
OR FOREWOMAN.

THE LAST FEW JURORS
ARE THE TOUGHEST TO CRACK.

WAIT, GUYS. WHO PUT THE
"JILFs" CARD UP THERE? REALLY?

HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT
FOR THE SUMMER ASSOCIATE.

I DID, BUT NOT
IN A HOSTILE WAY.

HOW MANY JURORS
HAVE WE KNOCKED OUT?

WE'VE USED SEVEN PEREMPTORY
CHALLENGES. THEY'VE USED TWO.

EIGHT.
WE'VE USED EIGHT?

WE'VE USED 8 OUT OF 10
PEREMPTORY CHALLENGES.

WE DINGED THE ROCKET SCIENTIST.

YEAH, HE WAS TOO LEFT-BRAIN,

WOULDN'T APPRECIATE
OUR CREATIVITY ANYWAY.

Jared: HEWETT'S ONLY USED
TWO CHALLENGES AGAINST US.

THIS IS TOO EASY.

YOU THINK
HE'S UP TO SOMETHING?

THERE'S AN EVIDENTIARY
HEARING TOMORROW.

YOUR HONOR, A BOOT BELONGING
TO THE DEFENDANT, SAL GOTELLI,

WAS DISCOVERED BY THE LAPD
IN HIS LOCKER AT THE GYM.

IT MATCHES THE BOOTPRINT
TAKEN FROM THE BACK DOOR,

WHICH WAS KICKED IN
AT THE BODY SHOP.

ALSO MISSING
FROM MR. GOTELLI'S TOOLBOX

IS A REALLY BIG,
HEAVY WRENCH --

SAME KIND OF WRENCH
THAT WAS FOUND AT THE CRIME SCENE.

[ WRENCH CLANGS ]

MR. GOTELLI WAS NOT PRACTICING
SELF-DEFENSE.

HE STALKED HIS VICTIMS
WITH MALICIOUS INTENT.

Judge Vincent:
BAILIFF, MARK THE EVIDENCE

AS PROSECUTION EXHIBITS
"E" AND "F."

AHH. "F."
AS IN WHAT WE ARE NOW.

TOTALLY F'ed.

[ GROANS ]

THIS IS BREAKING NEWS, SAL.

THIS IS WHY HEWETT DIDN'T CHALLENGE ANY
OF OUR JURY CHOICES.

HE WAS LETTING US PICK OUR JURY
BASED ON SELF-DEFENSE.

NOW THAT STRATEGY
IS TOAST.

WE NEED A NEW DEFENSE.

HOW MANY JURY CHALLENGES
DO WE HAVE LEFT?

TWO.

MORE WOULD BE BETTER.

I WAS STILL
DEFENDING SOMEBODY.

IT JUST WASN'T ME.

SURE WASN'T THEM.

THEY WERE DEFENDING
THEMSELVES...

WITH LIMITED SUCCESS.

OKAY.
YOU'RE A TOTAL BADASS.

BUT IN THIS CASE, "BADASS"
IS GONNA GET YOU 10 YEARS.

WHO WERE YOU DEFENDING?

THESE GUYS STARTED
DOING STRONG-ARM WORK.

NOT JUST BOOSTING CARS --
MORE UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL.

CARJACKING, ROBBERY.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE A PART OF THAT.

OKAY, SO YOUR BOSSES AREN'T
THE "TWO-WEEK NOTICE" TYPES.

THEY JACKED A CAR,
BEAT UP THE DRIVER.

WORD GOT OUT THAT SOMEONE
IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

MIGHT HAVE SEEN IT GO DOWN.

I HEARD THEM
TALKING ABOUT...

"TAKING CARE" OF HER.

SO I STEPPED IN.

"HER"?

HER NAME'S ANNABEL.

SHE WORKS AT THE GIFT SHOP
NEAR THE GARAGE.

THEY SELL SNOW GLOBES,

CARDS THAT SING
WHEN YOU OPEN THEM.

WE MET, HIT IT OFF.

GO ON.

I TOLD THEM,
"NO ONE TOUCHES ANNABEL."

THEY DISAGREED, SO I TRIED
TO PERSUADE THEM OTHERWISE.

SAL, WHY DIDN'T YOU
JUST TELL US?

BECAUSE IF YOU OR ANY COPS
STARTED ASKING HER QUESTIONS,

ANNABEL WOULD BE EXPOSED
TO DANGER.

I TRIED TO FIX IT MYSELF
BY SAYING THEY WERE COMING AFTER ME.

WERE YOU IN LOVE
WITH THIS WOMAN?

IF LOVE MEANS
YOU'D DO ANYTHING

TO MAKE SURE
NO ONE WOULD HARM HER...

...MAYBE.

Jared:
LOOK AT THIS GUY --

HANDS OF STONE
CAPABLE OF BUSTING HEADS...

AND A HEART OF SOMETHING
WARM AND SOFT,

CAPABLE OF LOVE.

MEATLOAF?

MAYBE WE CAN MAKE
THIS WORK.

LADIES, WANT A REFILL?

THERE YOU GO, LADIES.

ENJOY.

BONNIE.

YOU CAN MAKE A PARTY
OUT OF JURY SELECTION?

BONNIE, IF WE IMPART
ANYTHING OF VALUE TO YOU...

HIGHLY DOUBTFUL.

...IT'S THAT YOU CAN MAKE
A PARTY OUT OF ANYTHING.

-HERMANO?
-YES.

-Man: SORRY!
-HEY!

THANK YOU.

OKAY. NEW DEFENSE STRATEGY.
IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE NOW.

[ High-pitched voice ]
HE MAKES EVERYTHING ABOUT LOVE.

THAT'S RIGHT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU
BEAT THREE PEOPLE TO A PULP

AND YOU HAVE
NO OTHER DEFENSE.

ALL RIGHT, CARMEN, WE NEED YOU
TO GO TO THE GIFT SHOP TOMORROW.

TALK TO ANNABEL,
SEE IF SHE LOVES SAL ENOUGH

TO TESTIFY
ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP.

DO YOU THINK THEY SELL
HELIUM BALLOONS?

SHE LOVES
HER HELIUM VOICE.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

HI.

I LIKE THE LOVE DEFENSE.

BUT I LIKE ROM-COMS
MORE THAN ACTION MOVIES.

MAYBE YOU'RE TOO SOFT
FOR THIS GIG.

THAT'S WHAT MY FATHER SAYS.
HE'S A LAWYER.

HE SAYS, "IF YOU TRY A CASE
WITH YOUR HEART,

BE READY TO TRY THE APPEAL
WITH YOUR BRAIN."

THERE'S ROOM FOR BOTH.

AND YOU CAN MAKE QUITE A GOOD LIVING
IF YOU WAKE UP EVERY MORNING

TRYING TO PROVE YOUR FATHER
WRONG.

CARE TO SHARE?

YOU'RE MY SHADOW,
NOT MY SOUL, BONNIE.

RIGHT.

SO, CHOP-SHOP MECHANIC
AND LITTLE SHOPGIRL --

-THAT'S OUR SCENARIO?
-BEAUTY AND THE BEAST -- THAT'S RIGHT.

AND...WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR
IN OUR JURORS?

WELL, WE START WITH PEOPLE
WHO HAVE HEART.

HEART.

-HEART.
-HEART.

WHY DO YOU SAY THE "T"
LIKE THAT?

-I DON'T KNOW. IS THAT WRONG?
-HEART.

HEAR...T.

UH, YOU ARE A JUNIOR-HIGH-SCHOOL
P.E. TEACHER.

THAT'S RIGHT.

"DO THEY STILL DO THAT THING

WHERE YOU HAVE TO CLIMB
UP THE ROPE TO THE CEILING?"

YES, WE DO.

"IF 'YES,' WHAT DO YOU DO

IF A KID JUST CAN'T MAKE IT
TO THE TOP?"

WELL, IF I SENSE A LACK OF
EFFORT, I MAKE THEM RUN LAPS.

OKAY. TOUGH CLASS.

YOUR HONOR, THE DEFENSE
WOULD ASK THE COURT

TO THANK AND EXCUSE
JUROR NUMBER 6.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE,
JUROR NUMBER 6.

YOU MAY REPORT BACK
TO THE JURY ASSEMBLY ROOM.

YOU WASTED A CHALLENGE ON HIM?
WE ONLY HAVE ONE LEFT.

TRUST ME.
I'M PLAYING A DEEPER GAME.

I'LL SHOW YOU
A DEEPER GAME.

YOUR HONOR,
MAY I ASK A QUESTION?

YOU MAY.

JUROR NUMBER 2...

HOW ARE YOU TODAY?

FINE. HOW ARE YOU?

BETTER NOW.

DEFENSE HAS NO FURTHER QUESTIONS
FOR JUROR NUMBER TWO.

YOUR HONOR, THE PROSECUTION
WOULD LIKE TO THANK AND EXCUSE

PROSPECTIVE JUROR
NUMBER 2.

NICE WORK.

YEAH, I GOT HEWETT
TO FIRE OFF ANOTHER ROUND.

HE HAS FOUR CHALLENGES LEFT,
WE ONLY HAVE ONE,

BECAUSE YOU WERE
TOO BIG OF A PUSSY

TO CLIMB THE ROPE
IN THE SEVENTH GRADE.

THE GYM TEACHER
WAS A "GUILTY."

-THE GUY'S A BULLY.
-OUR GUY'S NOT?

OUR GUY HAS
A MARSHMALLOW CENTER.

THANKS, BONNIE.

-HELLO.
-HELLO. CAN I HELP YOU?

YEAH. YOU GUYS SELL
HELIUM BALLOONS?

SORRY. NO.
WE DON'T CARRY HELIUM.

IT'S A FINITE RESOURCE THAT'S BEING
REDUCED BY RADIOACTIVE DECAY.

BUZZKILL MY BIRTHDAY,
WHY DON'T YOU?

[ CHUCKLES ]

YOU'RE ANNABEL BRADY,
RIGHT?

YES.

CARMEN PHILLIPS.

I'M AN INVESTIGATOR
FOR A LAW FIRM.

OH. YOU SHOULD PROBABLY TALK
TO MY BOSS. I JUST WORK HERE.

-SHE'LL BE BACK IN A FEW IF YOU --
-NO, NO. NOBODY'S IN TROUBLE OR ANYTHING.

UH, WE REPRESENT A FRIEND
OF YOURS -- SAL GOTELLI.

OKAY. WHO'S SHE?

NOT SALLY.
SALVADORE.

I DON'T KNOW ANYONE
BY THAT NAME.

OH. HIM.
I DIDN'T KNOW HIS NAME.

-REALLY?
-NO, BUT HE COMES IN A LOT,

BUYS A LOT OF LITTLE GIFTS
FOR HIS NIECE.

HE'S VERY SWEET,
BARELY SAYS A WORD.

MAYBE THE BEST UNCLE EVER.

SO YOU TWO
AREN'T DATING?

OH, NO.

I-I MEAN, H-HE'S SWEET,
BUT...NO WAY.

[ SIGHS ]

I NEVER SAID
SHE WAS IN LOVE WITH ME.

IT WAS "UNREQUITTED."

-UNREQUITED.
-I'LL SAY.

SAL, SHE DOESN'T
KNOW YOUR NAME.

WHY DID YOU EVEN GO TALK TO HER?
YOU PUT HER IN DANGER!

WHOA. EASY, SAL.

YOU THOUGHT WE'D TAKE
YOUR WORD FOR IT?

I CARE FOR HER.
THAT'S THE TRUTH.

I DON'T KNOW
IF IT WAS LOVE.

I'VE NEVER BEEN IN LOVE.

AWW.

S-SORRY. MAYBE SH--
I SHOULD STEP OUT.

NO. IT'S OKAY.

AT LEAST SOMEONE
BELIEVES ME.

ALL I KNOW IS...

I DIDN'T WANT
TO SEE HER HURT.

WELL, IF PASSION CAN BE MEASURED
BY THE BEATDOWN

YOU PUT ON THE VICTIMS,
YOU MAY BE IN LOVE.

ALL RIGHT.
LET'S STAY THE COURSE.

WE ONLY NEED ONE MORE JUROR
TO FIT OUR PROFILE.

WE ARGUE THAT YOU LOVED ANNABEL
BUT SHE DOESN'T LOVE YOU.

OKAY.

ONE-SIDED LOVE
IS HALF A LOVE,

WHICH IS TWICE AS HARD
TO PROVE.

DID YOU TELL ANYBODY ABOUT
YOUR FEELINGS FOR ANNABEL?

NO.

SO WE STILL NEED OUR JURY

TO THINK WITH THEIR HEART,
NOT WITH THEIR HEADS.

-YEAH. JURY NULLIFICATION.
-YEAH.

WHAT'S JURY NULLIFICATION?

IT'S WHAT WE ARGUE WHEN WE'RE
SCREWED, SAL, WHICH WE ARE.

-GOOD PEP TALK. BONNIE?
-THANKS.

WHEN THE LAW AND FACTS
ARE AGAINST US,

WE APPEAL
TO THE JURY'S EMOTIONS,

BASICALLY TRY TO GET THEM
TO ACQUIT YOU

BECAUSE THEY LIKE YOU.

[ CHUCKLES ]
HOW DO WE DO THAT?

CONVINCE A JURY THAT
A GUILTY VERDICT FOR YOU

IS A REJECTION
OF THE POWER OF LOVE.

NO ONE WANTS
TO BE THE SCROOGE.

WORKS FOR ME.

GO GET READY, SAL.

WE NEED CARMEN TO GET ANNABEL TO TESTIFY
AS A CHARACTER WITNESS.

YEAH, AT LEAST ANNABEL CAN SAY
THAT SAL'S A BIG, SWEET LUG.

[ SIGHS ]

-IT'S NOT GONNA WORK.
-MM. I'M SORRY.

I DON'T RECALL
ASKING FOR YOUR OPINION.

YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING
FOR JURORS WHO FEEL

YOUR CLIENT POUNDED THREE
DIRTBAGS WHO HAD IT COMING,

ARGUE THAT SAL GOTELLI SHOULD
GET A MEDAL FOR WHAT HE DID.

HEART OF STONE. REMIND ME NOT
TO PICK YOU AS OUR LOVE JUROR.

I HOPE YOU AT LEAST HAVE
SOME CHALLENGES LEFT.

-OR DO YOU...
-I'M DONE WITH YOU.

WHERE'S YOUR SUMMER ASSOCIATE THAT'S
SUPPOSED TO BE SHADOWING YOU?

CLEANING SHOWS
OFF MY DVR.

[ ELEVATOR BELL DINGS ]

IF THIS IS ABOUT LOVE,
THEN YOU WANT PEOPLE IN LOVE --

NEWLYWEDS, YOUNG PEOPLE
WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND

THAT LOVE IS AN ILLUSION,
THAT IT'S ALL JUST CHEMISTRY.

ARE YOU COMING ON TO ME?

'CAUSE FOR A SECOND THERE,
I WAS GETTING REAL --

REALLY?
THAT'S YOUR TAKEAWAY?

[ CHUCKLES ]
NO.

I DIDN'T THINK SHE WAS
COMING ON TO YOU, EITHER.

YOU KNOW WHY THEY CALL THEM
"SHADOWS," RIGHT?

I KNOW I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE,
BUT...

WHAT YOU NEED
IS GUN OWNERS.

DID YOU MISS THE PART WHERE WE SAID
WE'VE MOVED TO A LOVE DEFENSE?

THEY UNDERSTAND
THE WHOLE IDEA

OF PROTECTING INNOCENCE
AGAINST A VIOLENT WORLD.

GOT IT. GUNS!

I REMEMBER HAVING
A MAUSER ZIG-ZAG HANDGUN.

MY FATHER GAVE IT TO ME
WHEN I WAS 6 YEARS OLD.

HE TOOK IT FROM A GERMAN SOLDIER
IN WORLD WAR II.

THANKS.
THIS -- THIS IS HELPFUL.

GUN OWNERS
LOVE THEIR GUNS.

TRUST ME ON THIS ONE.

YOU GOT IT.

YOU WORK
AT CRATE & BARREL?

YES, SIR.
ASSISTANT MANAGER.

UH, YOUR HONOR,
I DON'T MEAN TO MAKE EXCUSES,

AND I KNOW I USED UP
ALL MY DEFERMENTS,

BUT I HAVE
A VACATION PLANNED.

THE COURT GIVES YOU A NEW DATE
WITH YOUR DEFERMENT,

SO WHY DIDN'T YOU PLAN
YOUR VACATION AROUND IT?

MY HUSBAND
WAS PLANNING A SURPRISE.

UH, ALL I WANT TO KNOW
IS WHETHER OR NOT YOU THINK

THIS TRIAL'S GONNA BE OVER
BY THE END OF THE MONTH?

-YOU FEELING IT?
-I'M FEELING IT.

WELL, THIS TRIAL
BETTER BE OVER BY THEN.

THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR.

CAREFUL. DON'T TIP HEWETT
THAT WE LIKE HER.

YOUR HONOR, MAY I ASK WHY
JUROR 9 NEEDS TO GO ON VACATION?

YOU MAY, MR. BASH.

IT'S OUR ONE-YEAR
ANNIVERSARY.

MY HUSBAND'S PLANNING
A SURPRISE TRIP.

AWW.

I-I-I SENSE A BIT OF
A SOUTHERN ACCENT. TEXAS?

-OKLAHOMA.
-TEXAS, OKLAHOMA.

WE CONSIDER THEM
PRETTY DIFFERENT, ACTUALLY.

OH. WELL, SORRY.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO OFFEND.

Judge Vincent: MR. BASH,
YOU HAVE ONE CHALLENGE LEFT.

DO YOU CARE TO USE IT
AT THIS TIME?

YES, YOUR HONOR.

UM, THE DEFENSE
WOULD ASK THE COURT

TO THANK AND EXCUSE
JUROR 10.

-NICE WORK. JUST ENOUGH OF A DICK.
-[ CHUCKLES ]

UH-OH.

YOUR HONOR, THE PROSECUTION
WOULD ASK THE COURT

TO THANK AND EXCUSE
JUROR NUMBER 5.

[ TELEVISION PLAYS
INDISTINCTLY ]

IF HEWETT DOESN'T USE
ANY MORE CHALLENGES,

THIS JURY WILL WORK FOR US.

GOD, I HATE THIS PART.

I STILL DON'T GET IT.

IT'S A TV SHOW THAT'S ALSO
A COOKING COMPETITION.

IT'S PRETTY
STRAIGHTFORWARD.

AND AWESOME.

Carmen: GUYS,
WE GOT A PROBLEM.

WHEN DON'T WE?

SO, I WENT TO TALK
TO ANNABEL, OUR SHOPGIRL,

ABOUT BEING A CHARACTER
WITNESS FOR SAL.

-AND...
-SHE'S GONE.

LEFT TOWN.

THE OWNER SAID THAT SOME
BIG GUY IN A LEATHER COAT

CAME IN TO TALK TO HER
EARLIER TODAY.

ANNABEL GOT UPSET,
SAID SHE HAD TO LEAVE TOWN,

AND THAT SHE WOULD CALL TO PICK UP HER
CHECK WHEN IT WAS SAFE.

WHAT THE HELL
DID YOU DO?!

I WANTED TO WARN HER
ABOUT THE GUYS AT THE SHOP.

TURNS OUT, SHE HADN'T
EVEN SEEN THE CARJACKING,

BUT I TOLD HER
TO LEAVE TOWN ANYWAY.

-WHY?!
-Carmen: WHY?

BECAUSE THESE GUYS AREN'T GONNA TAKE
ANY CHANCES.

EXACTLY.

IT'S HARD TO PROVE
DEFENSE OF OTHERS

WHEN THE "OTHER" BAILS BEFORE
WE CAN PUT HER ON THE STAND!

ANNABEL THOUGHT I WAS THERE
TO INTIMIDATE HER.

SHE TOLD ME TO LEAVE,
OR SHE'D CALL THE COPS ON ME.

-AT LEAST SHE'S SAFE.
-WE'RE BACK TO SQUARE ONE.

I HOPE ANNABEL
THANKED YOU, SAL,

BECAUSE YOU SAVING HER ASS
MAY HAVE PUT YOURS IN JAIL.

[ ENGINE SHUTS OFF ]

LOOKS LIKE
A REGULAR GARAGE.

WHAT'D YOU THINK --
THEY'D HAVE SIGN OUT FRONT

THAT SAYS "CHOP SHOP"?

DIDN'T YOU EVER SEE
"FAST AND THE FURIOUS"?

ALL EXCEPT
"TOKYO DRIFT."

-NO DIESEL, NO FUN.
-NO MONEY.

-YOU NEVER SAW "PITCH BLACK"?
-I SAW "PITCH BLACK."

-DIESEL AT HIS BEST.
-DIESEL IS AMAZING.

DIESEL LOOKS GOOD.
HE'S LIKE OUR HAMLET.

[ TOOLS BUZZING ]

[ BELL DINGS ]
HI!

OKAY, YOU EITHER NEED TO
SHOW A WARRANT OR GET OUT.

OH, WE'RE JUST LITTLE,
OLD LAWYERS, MISS...?

KIKI.

-MISS KIKI.
-KIKI. KIKI.

WELL, W-WE WERE JUST HOPING
TO TAKE A LOOK

WHERE THE ALLEGED INCIDENT
TOOK PLACE.

WAIT A MINUTE.
YOU'RE FRANKLIN AND BASH.

-YEAH. YOU'VE HEARD OF US?
-WELL, SURE. FROM MY GUY.

YOUR GUY?

SAL GOTELLI.

SAL GOTELLI...

IS YOUR BOYFRIEND?

WELL, OFF AND ON.
MOSTLY ON.

HEY, ARE YOU
GONNA GET SAL OFF?

HE MADE THIS PLACE SO MUCH
BETTER WITH THOSE THUGS GONE.

OH, I'M SURE.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU AND SAL
BEEN TOGETHER, OFF AND ON?

WE HOOKED UP A COUPLE YEARS AGO
WHEN HE FIRST STARTED HERE.

HE BRINGS ME GIFTS
ALL THE TIME.

[ MUSIC PLAYS ]

OH, LOOK AT THAT.

-IT'S SO SWEET.
-[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

EXCUSE ME.

THIS IS KIKI.

NO, HE'S AT LUNCH.

OKAY.
THERE'S NO NEED TO YELL.

-IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOUR CAR'S ON FIRE.
-GREAT.

NOT ONLY IS OUR GUY
A CHOP-SHOP AUTO MECHANIC

AND AN ATTEMPTED
MURDERER...

-HE'S ALSO A SERIAL WOMANIZER.
-I'M SICK OF THE LYING.

I'M NOT LYING! I BOUGHT THE GIFTS AS AN
EXCUSE TO SEE ANNABEL.

THROWING THEM AWAY SEEMED LIKE IT WAS A
BAD IDEA, SO I GAVE THEM TO KIKI.

CLEARLY SHE GOT
THE WRONG IDEA.

YOU GOT TO BELIEVE ME!

WE HOOKED UP A WHILE AGO,

BUT KIKI MEANT NOTHING TO ME
IN THAT WAY.

WE BELIEVE YOU, SAL.

IS THERE ANYBODY WHO SAW YOU AND ANNABEL
TOGETHER IN THE STORE?

NO. I ONLY WENT IN
IF ANNABEL WAS WORKING ALONE.

[ SIGHS ]

-[ MELODY CRYING ]
-WHAT'S GOING ON THERE?

I DON'T KNOW.
KEEP WALKING.

[ Crying ]
WHY WOULD HE DO THIS?!

WE HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN MARRIED
A WHOLE YEAR!

-UH-OH.
-OKAY. HANG BACK.

-ME?
-YEAH, YOU.

JUST TIE YOUR SHOE,

LISTEN TO YOUR iPHONE,
WHATEVER.

-JUST LISTEN.
-ISN'T THAT JURY TAMPERING?

-NO, IT'S -- IT'S TYING YOUR SHOE.
-NO.

-I'M WEARING FLATS.
-YOU'RE LAWYERS.

DO YOU KNOW
WHERE I CAN FIND

THE OFFICE FOR
ANNULMENT OF MARRIAGES?

UH...

I'M SORRY, BUT WE --
WE REALLY CAN'T TALK TO YOU.

OH. OF COURSE.

YOU'RE MEN.

SEEMS UPSET.

MAYBE HER NEW HUSBAND
FOUND AN OLD GIRLFRIEND.

OUR ROMANCE JUROR
IS NOW A MAN-HATER.

YEAH, AND HER OPINION
IS GONNA POISON THE JURY.

SHE CAN'T BE
ON THAT JURY.

WE'RE OUT OF CHALLENGES.

AND WE'RE OUT OF OPTIONS.

Stanton: YES, I HAD
A SIMILAR PROBLEM

WHEN I WAS ON PRESIDENT CLINTON'S
SEARCH COMMITTEE

FOR A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE
IN '93.

WHICH IS WHY WE'RE HERE.

YEAH, WELL,
THE LEFT WERE PRESSING,

OF COURSE,
FOR A LIBERAL.

CLINTON WANTED
A CENTRIST.

WHAT'D YOU DO?

WE USED THE REPUBLICANS.

WE LEAKED WORD THAT CLINTON
WAS IN LOVE WITH LAURENCE TRIBE.

OH, THE OPPOSITION SAID
HE WAS UNCONFIRMABLE.

WHICH GAVE THE PRESIDENT COVER
TO PUSH FOR RUTH BADER GINSBURG.

AH. LOVELY LADY.

CRUSHING HANDSHAKE FOR HER SIZE, BUT VERY
SEXY WHEN SHE WORE HER HAIR DOWN.

-WHO ARE THEY?
-OH. [ CHUCKLES ]

[ CLEARS THROAT ]
THEY'RE SHADOWING ME.

TWIN SONS OF THE INDONESIAN
FOREIGN MINISTER.

THEY'RE, UH,
RETURNING A FAVOR.

[ CHUCKLES ] AH.

SO, WE GET HEWETT
TO DING OUR LOVE JUROR TURNED MAN-HATER.

EXACTLY.

HOW DO WE DO THAT?

[ SCOFFS ] GOOD LORD.

I MEAN, DO YOU WANT ME
TO CHEW YOUR FOOD FOR YOU?

FIGURE IT OUT.

[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]

-[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]
-YEAH.

WHAT'S YOUR STATUS? MELODY'S ABOUT TO GET
ON THE ELEVATOR RIGHT NOW.

PINDY, SHE'S HEADING UP.
ARE YOU READY?

Pindar: I THINK SO.

WHERE'S HEWETT?

STANDING RIGHT OUTSIDE
THE COURTROOM RIGHT NOW.

Oh, well, don't let him go in.
Keep him in the hallway.

HOW? HE'S SO BIG!

DO SOMETHING.

THROW UP ON HIM.
THAT'S YOUR GO-TO MOVE.

[ SIGHS ]

OH, HEY, MR. HEWETT!
HOW ARE YOU TODAY?

FINE.

WHERE ARE BARNUM & BAILEY?

[ CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY ]
THEY'RE COMING.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY
HOW EXCITED I AM

THAT YOU'RE RUNNING FOR
THE OFFICE OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

BETWEEN US BROS, I THINK
YOU'D REALLY BRING THE HEAT.

ARE YOU EVEN
A REGISTERED VOTER?

THAT'S RACIST.
NO.

OH! EXCUSE ME. EXCUSE ME.
I THINK -- I THINK YOU DROPPED THIS.

IT MIGHT BE
YOUR PARKING TICKET.

COUPLE YEARS --
IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT PROCESS.

UNBELIEVABLE.

SHE DROPPED HER PARKING TICKET.
I HANDED IT BACK TO HER.

-THE TWO WERE ENGAGED IN CONVERSATION.
-Jared: OH, COME ON.

JURY TAMPERING
IS A SERIOUS CHARGE.

SO IS A LOST PARKING TICKET,
YOUR HONOR.

THIS WOMAN CAME
TO DO HER CIVIC DUTY,

AND MR. HEWETT HERE

WOULD HAVE US CHARGE HER $24
TO DRIVE HOME?

NOT ONLY AM I INSULTED,

BUT SO IS MY FATHER, WHO
RAISED ME TO BE A GENTLEMAN!

S-SPARE ME YOUR OUTRAGE.

THERE'S NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE HERE
TO SUPPORT YOUR ACCUSATION.

YOUR HONOR, YOU KNOW
HOW THESE TWO WORK.

THIS IS CLEARLY --

THERE ARE OTHER MEANS OF
RECOURSE AVAILABLE TO YOU.

GEEZ. YOUR HONOR, WHY DON'T YOU
JUST GIVE HIM THE IDEA?

EASY. WE'RE --
WE'RE GOOD.

I'M GOOD.

YOUR HONOR, THE PROSECUTION
WOULD ASK THE COURT

TO THANK AND EXCUSE
JUROR NUMBER 9.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE,
JUROR NUMBER 9.

JUROR NUMBER 4.

YES, YOUR HONOR?

ARE YOU A GUN OWNER, SIR?

YES, SIR.
PROUD MEMBER OF THE NRA.

COUNSELORS,

UNLESS THERE ARE ANY MORE
QUESTIONS OR CHALLENGES,

I'M READY TO SWEAR IN THIS JURY
RIGHT AFTER LUNCH.

GOOD.

TO THOSE OF YOU CHOSEN,
REPORT BACK HERE AFTER LUNCH.

TO THOSE OF YOU WHO WEREN'T,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YOU'RE EXCUSED.

AND THANK YOU ON BEHALF
OF THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES.

COURT IS IN RECESS
UNTIL 2:30.

ARE WE HAPPY?

WITH THE JURY, YES.
WITH YOUR CASE, NOT YET.

Melody: I COULD REALLY USE
A VACATION.

WITH NO MEN.

SAL, HOW MANY TIMES A WEEK
DID YOU GO INTO ANNABEL'S STORE?

MAYBE ONCE A WEEK.

SHE EVER GO
ON VACATION?

SHE WENT TO ORLANDO IN JULY.
I STAYED AWAY FROM THE STORE.

-LONGEST 30 DAYS OF MY LIFE.
-YOU HAVE ANY GIFT RECEIPTS?

NO, BETTER YET,
CREDIT-CARD STATEMENTS

THAT SHOW YOU DIDN'T BUY ANYTHING
THE WHOLE MONTH OF JULY?

YEAH, I CHARGED THEM
ON MY PLATINUM AmEx.

IT WAS 99-CENT,
"MADE IN CHINA" CRAP.

WHAT?

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS
THINKING?

SAL, WHY DON'T YOU
GO GET SOMETHING TO EAT?

WE'LL TEXT YOU IN A LITTLE BIT.
WE GOT SOME WORK TO DO.

OKAY.

Peter:
SO, WE GET SAL TO TESTIFY

THAT HE WAS IN THAT STORE
EVERY DAY BUYING A TCHOTCHKE

AS AN EXCUSE
TO SEE THE WOMAN HE LOVED.

WE DON'T HAVE
ANY GIFT RECEIPTS.

YEAH, AND SAL'S RECORD WILL MAKE
HIS CREDIBILITY A LITTLE SHAKY.

RIGHT.
WHICH LEAVES US WITH KIKI.

BUT SHE CAN TESTIFY THAT THE ONLY TIME
SHE DIDN'T GET A GIFT FROM SAL

WAS WHEN ANNABEL
WAS ON VACATION.

I DON'T THINK KIKI'S GONNA WANT
TO HELP THE "OTHER WOMAN."

REMEMBER WHEN YOU SAID
YOU WOULDN'T ASK ANY QUESTIONS?

-IT WASN'T A QUESTION.
-IT WASN'T A QUESTION?

-IT'S NOT A QUESTION.
-OKAY. OKAY.

OKAY, SO, WE SLIDE PAST
THE "OTHER WOMAN" THING.

WE LET KIKI FEEL THAT SAL WAS JUST
PROTECTING AN INNOCENT GIRL.

SHE'LL LOVE HIM MORE.

-SIMPLE.
-SIMPLE.

THAT DIRTBAG!

NO, HE LIKES YOU.
IT'S JUST --

SAL GAVE ME GIFTS HE BOUGHT
FROM ANOTHER WOMAN HE LOVES

JUST TO BE IN HER PRESENCE,

AND YOU WANT ME TO PUT MY HANDS
ON A BIBLE AND SAVE HIM?!

DID WE NOT SAY "PLEASE"?

IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL ANY BETTER, HIS
FEELINGS FOR ANNABEL WERE UNREQUITED.

-SHE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HIS NAME.
-OH, GREAT!

I'M LOSING OUT TO SOME BITCH
WHO SAL DOESN'T EVEN KNOW.

WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT ME?

WHAT IT SAYS, KIKI,
I-IS THAT YOU ARE...

-TOO IMPRESSIVE FOR WORDS.
-RIGHT.

W-WHAT DO YOU SAY WE RESET
AND TRY THIS AGAIN?

YEAH. OKAY.
I-IF YOU LOVE SAL,

SHOULDN'T YOU LOVE HIM ENOUGH
TO LET HIM GO?

ISN'T THAT THE ULTIMATE
EXPRESSION OF LOVE?

THE ULTIMATE EXPRESSION OF LOVE
IS KILLING HIM!

IT'S CALLED
A CRIME OF PASSION.

MUCH EASIER TO DEFEND.

BE SURE TO LEAVE YOUR CARD.

THERE YOU GO.

THERE'S ONLY TWO PEOPLE WHO CAN TESTIFY
THAT SAL WAS LOOKING OUT FOR ANNABEL.

BUT ANNABEL'S IN THE WIND,
AND SAL'S...

SAL.

[ ELEVATOR BELL DINGS ]

-SO IT'S OVER?!
-NO.

THE TEST OF ANY
GREAT TRIAL ATTORNEY

IS WHETHER HE CAN MASTER
THE ART OF THE PLEA DEAL.

SO SAL GETS HIS HEART STOMPED ON, AND
WE'RE JUST GONNA PUT HIM ON AN ICEBERG?

EXCUSE ME?

I'VE BEEN SHADOWING YOU GUYS
FOR A WEEK,

AND THE LESSON
AT THE END OF IT IS,

"YOU CAN'T SAVE YOUR CLIENT,
SO SAVE SOME FACE"?

YOU UNDERSTAND
BEING A SUMMER ASSOCIATE

DOESN'T GUARANTEE YOU A JOB?

I DO. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT
IT'S A SELLER'S MARKET

AND YOU HAVE TO IMPRESS ME
MORE THAN I HAVE TO IMPRESS YOU?

-OKAY. SO, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
-PUT DELUSIONAL KIKI ON THE STAND.

BON-BON, WE CAN'T FORCE KIKI
ONTO THE STAND. SHE'LL HURT US.

SHE'LL HURT
THE PROSECUTION MORE.

YOU GET THE PROSECUTION
TO CALL KIKI PARKER

AS A HOSTILE WITNESS.

THEY GROW UP SO FAST.

SO YOU'RE SUGGESTING
A COURTROOM TROJAN HORSE?

CLASSIC
FRANKLIN AND BASH.

YOU GET HEWETT
TO CALL KIKI TO THE STAND

TO TESTIFY THAT SAL
WAS A LYING DIRTBAG

WHO WASN'T IN LOVE
WITH ANNABEL.

BY THE WAY, YOU GUYS DO REFER
TO YOURSELVES IN THIRD PERSON.

AND AFTER HEWETT
CALLS KIKI...

WE CROSS-EXAMINE,
GET HER TO TESTIFY

THAT SAL WASN'T BUYING HER GIFTS
WHEN ANNABEL WAS ON VACATION.

UH, ONLY ONE PROBLEM.

HEWETT DOESN'T KNOW
ABOUT OUR LOVE DEFENSE,

SO HE HAS NO REASON
TO CALL KIKI TO THE STAND.

WAIT. HEWETT'S THE ONE
WHO TIPPED OFF YOUR BOSS

TO CATCH YOU
WITH MEGGET'S DAUGHTER.

SO NOW IT'S OUR TURN TO TIP OFF
HEWETT ABOUT OUR LOVE DEFENSE.

OKAY, THAT PART SEEMS HARD.

ARE YOU KIDDING?
THAT PART'S FUN.

I NEVER UNDERSTOOD --
WHO'S THE SECOND PERSON?

FIRST, SECOND.

-WELL, WHO'S THE THIRD?
-WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

-FIRST, SECOND. WHO'S --
-FRANKLIN AND BASH. THREE.

OH.

UH, YOUR HONOR,
THE DEFENSE REQUESTS

A PRIVATE MEETING WITH YOU
IN CHAMBERS.

YOUR HONOR, THE PROSECUTION
HAS THE RIGHT

TO HEAR THE REASON
FOR THIS MEETING.

APPROACH.

THE MORE, THE MERRIER.

YOUR HONOR, WE ARE HAVING
TROUBLE LOCATING A WITNESS,

SO WE WOULD ASK THE COURT TO DELAY
THE START OF TRIAL UNTIL MONDAY.

WHY?

WE'RE NOT COMFORTABLE
DISCLOSING THAT REASON

IN FRONT OF YOU-KNOW-WHO.

YOU HAVE TO DO IT
IN FRONT OF MR. HEWETT.

[ SIGHS ]

WE WANT TO PROVE
THAT OUR CLIENT WAS TRYING

TO PROTECT A WOMAN HE LOVED
FROM DANGER.

THE THREE MEN
MR. GOTELLI ASSAULTED

HAD TARGETED THE WITNESS
WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

WELL, I SUGGEST
YOU FIND ANOTHER WITNESS.

WE TRIED, YOUR HONOR. WE SPOKE TO
CO-WORKERS OF MR. GOTELLI...

-BUT THEY WOULDN'T HELP US.
-NO, NO. OKAY. OKAY.

OKAY, YOUR HONOR. THANK YOU.

- WE'LL DO THAT. YEAH.
-WE'LL DO THAT.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT ABOVE
A PLEA BARGAIN.

[ CHUCKLES ] I AM.

THE HOOK HAS BEEN SET.

I BELIEVE YOU MEAN
THE HOOK HAS BEEN BAITED.

WE DON'T KNOW IF THE PROSECUTION
HAS TAKEN THE BAIT YET

FOR THE HOOK TO BE SET.

REALLY?
DO A LOT OF FLY-FISHING?

TECHNICALLY, YOU DON'T USE A BAIT WHEN
YOU'RE FLY-FISHING. WHAT YOU USE IS A --

OKAY. GUYS, GUYS, GUYS.
EYE ON THE BALL.

WE'RE GONNA ARGUE
THAT UNREQUITED LOVE

DROVE SAL GOTELLI TO PROTECT
A PRETTY SHOPGIRL

-NAMED ANNABEL BRADY...
-ANNABEL.

...FROM THREE THUGS
WHO WANTED TO HURT HER.

LET'S JUST HOPE THE DISTRICT
ATTORNEY IS BASING THEIR CASE

ON US ARGUING
UNREQUITED LOVE.

WHAT IF HE DOESN'T?

WELL, WE PICKED OUR KEY JURY MEMBERS
BASED ON THIS DEFENSE.

YEAH, LET'S PUT IT
THIS WAY, SAL --

IF THE PROSECUTION
DOESN'T CALL YOUR FRIEND

KIKI PARKER TO THE STAND,
YOU'LL LOSE.

-IF THEY DO, WE'LL WIN.
-AND YOU GO FREE.

REALLY?
JUST LIKE THAT?

TRIALS ARE WON AND LOST BASED
ON HOW YOU PICK YOUR JURY.

AND OUR JURY
IS PRIMED FOR LOVE.

FOR BETTER OR WORSE.

GOOD LUCK TODAY, COUNSEL.

AND TO YOU,
MR. DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

IT'S BEEN LIKE
OLD TIMES.

WHEN THIS IS ALL OVER,
WE'LL BE EVEN

FOR WHAT YOU DID TO ME
AT MEGGET AND TOWNE.

[ CHUCKLES ]
ARE YOU PRESUMING VICTORY?

NO.
HE'S GUARANTEEING IT.

BEFORE WE GO IN,

I JUST WANT TO SAY
WHAT AN HONOR IT'S BEEN

TO OBSERVE
SUCH A LEGENDARY TRIAL TEAM.

I FEEL THE SAME WAY.

-"GOOD-LUCK HUG" TIME.
-NO, WE --

-OH. A HUG.
-OKAY.

NO!

[ GRUNTS ]

[ CHUCKLES ]

HEY, SUMMER GIRL.

YES, MR. FRANKLIN?

[ CHUCKLES ]
YOUR FATHER WOULD BE PROUD.

WE WILL NOW HEAR
OPENING STATEMENTS --

FIRST, FROM THE PROSECUTION.

MR. HEWETT?

THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE
JURY, AS I SPEAK TO YOU NOW,

THREE MEN,
VICTIMS OF A VICIOUS BEATING

ADMINISTERED BY THE MAN
SITTING BEHIND ME, SAL GOTELLI,

ARE STILL RECOVERING
FROM THEIR INJURIES.

AT ONE TIME, THESE MEN CALLED
SAL GOTELLI A FRIEND.

[ SCOFFS ]

BUT WHAT KIND OF FRIEND
JUMPS ANOTHER FRIEND

AND BEATS THEM OVER THE HEAD
WITH A WRENCH?

THIS FRIEND.

NOW, THE DEFENSE WILL ARGUE

THAT SAL GOTELLI
IS A GOOD MAN...

A HARDWORKING MAN.

THE DEFENSE WILL ALSO TRY
TO GET YOU TO BELIEVE

THAT SAL GOTELLI
WAS A MAN IN LOVE.

YEAH.

THEY WILL ARGUE THAT SAL GOTELLI

LOVED A WOMAN FROM AFAR
NAMED ANNABEL BRADY

AND THAT HE WAS JUST TRYING
TO PROTECT HER FROM THE VICTIMS.

WELL, NOT ONLY WILL WE DISPROVE
THE NOTION

THAT SAL GOTELLI
WAS A MAN IN LOVE

WITH A SHOPGIRL WHOM THE DEFENSE
CAN'T EVEN LOCATE,

BUT WE WILL INTRODUCE
THE WOMAN HE REALLY LOVED --

HIS REAL GIRLFRIEND...

KIKI PARKER.

AND THEN, YOU,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...

YOU WILL DECIDE...

WHO IS TELLING THE TRUTH.
