1
00:00:02,339 --> 00:00:03,640
Previously on L .A. Law.

2
00:00:03,641 --> 00:00:07,299
I would remind the deputy D .A. that in
spite of the fact she's running for

3
00:00:07,300 --> 00:00:11,899
judgeship in District 7... Your Honor,
I... When and if you win election to the

4
00:00:11,900 --> 00:00:15,620
bench, Ms. Van Owen, you may have the
last word in my court.

5
00:00:16,070 --> 00:00:19,889
I get it. Mr. Sullivan will be joining
us as a clerk. He'll be working here

6
00:00:19,890 --> 00:00:21,330
afternoons, after school.

7
00:00:21,650 --> 00:00:22,700
The phone messages.

8
00:00:23,050 --> 00:00:25,950
All these people, activity in and out of
the bathroom.

9
00:00:25,951 --> 00:00:30,089
Now, either you are leading a very weird
social life, or you're dealing coke out

10
00:00:30,090 --> 00:00:31,029
of this office.

11
00:00:31,030 --> 00:00:32,390
That's crazy, Mr. Valente.

12
00:00:36,270 --> 00:00:37,320
Where's my talent?

13
00:00:38,030 --> 00:00:39,080
Let's see.

14
00:00:39,590 --> 00:00:40,640
He busted, kid.

15
00:00:41,490 --> 00:00:42,630
Eric went home already.

16
00:00:42,810 --> 00:00:44,250
What do you mean he went home?

17
00:00:44,510 --> 00:00:47,220
His father picked him up. He can't. Damn
it, detective!

18
00:00:47,221 --> 00:00:51,369
My husband violates a TRO, kidnapping my
son, and the best thing you can tell me

19
00:00:51,370 --> 00:00:55,169
is to get my own P .I.? I'm getting
married in three weeks. His name is

20
00:00:55,170 --> 00:00:56,220
Crenshaw.

21
00:00:56,690 --> 00:00:57,740
Kevin.

22
00:00:57,930 --> 00:01:01,060
Meet Michael Cusack. He's with the Trial
Lawyers Association.

23
00:01:01,061 --> 00:01:04,449
What were you trying to prove? That you
could get back at me by trying to

24
00:01:04,450 --> 00:01:06,190
humiliate a decent good man?

25
00:01:06,390 --> 00:01:08,190
I'm in the middle of getting married.

26
00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:11,250
I know this is hell of a time to say
this, but I'm in love.

27
00:01:11,251 --> 00:01:15,339
Leon's my name and photography's my
game. How about a snapshot of the bride

28
00:01:15,340 --> 00:01:16,390
groom, huh?

29
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:17,770
Definitely.

30
00:01:17,771 --> 00:01:22,679
So look, I'm just hanging out on this
corner there, right?

31
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,659
When this dude comes blowing out the
store.

32
00:01:24,660 --> 00:01:27,619
And he can see that the police car's
after him, man, so he just pushes the

33
00:01:27,620 --> 00:01:28,439
off on me.

34
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:29,560
The gun and the money.

35
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:33,879
And I'm just like, you know, what's
happening? And then, bang, man, the

36
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,639
are drawing down on me and I'm the one
that gets busted, dig?

37
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,020
Not the perpetrator, me.

38
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,680
So that's your legal defense, Julian?

39
00:01:42,540 --> 00:01:46,300
Your basic, the other dude did it? Yeah,
it's the truth.

40
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:49,730
Yeah.

41
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,090
These are smart people on the jury,
Julian.

42
00:01:52,091 --> 00:01:54,979
You expect them to believe this doo
-doo?

43
00:01:54,980 --> 00:01:58,170
Hey, wait a minute, man. You're supposed
to be my lawyer, right?

44
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,650
How many times have I gotten you off,
Julian?

45
00:02:00,980 --> 00:02:02,100
Some. How many?

46
00:02:02,101 --> 00:02:05,299
Excuse me, Your Honor, but it looks like
the people are going to have to object

47
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:07,220
to the introduction of Pryor's or Mr.

48
00:02:07,460 --> 00:02:09,020
Tattoon's got a case for appeal.

49
00:02:09,550 --> 00:02:10,990
Counsel, approach the bench.

50
00:02:17,490 --> 00:02:18,540
Seven times.

51
00:02:19,150 --> 00:02:21,310
Robbery, burglary, assault.

52
00:02:21,570 --> 00:02:23,450
Oh, come on. Mr. Hirshberg.

53
00:02:23,750 --> 00:02:26,530
Seven times. And he's still on the
street.

54
00:02:26,770 --> 00:02:30,750
Does this make sense to you? Mr.
Hirshberg, you are courting contempt.

55
00:02:31,210 --> 00:02:34,590
Okay. Maybe he had a bad childhood. Now,
that is enough. But I'm sorry.

56
00:02:35,150 --> 00:02:37,890
He's basically stale. Mr. Hirshberg. Mr.

57
00:02:39,230 --> 00:02:41,270
Hirshberg, approach the bench now.

58
00:02:46,930 --> 00:02:51,190
And since the courts don't have the
stones to do it... Bailey,

59
00:02:52,150 --> 00:02:56,570
he can't do that, man. You are in
contempt, Mr. Hirshberg. Take him

60
00:02:56,990 --> 00:02:58,170
Thank you, your honor.

61
00:02:58,610 --> 00:03:00,230
It's a pleasure.

62
00:03:00,690 --> 00:03:02,670
Dirtbags in, dirtbags out.

63
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,080
Swimming upstream is so... I'm going
nuts.

64
00:03:06,340 --> 00:03:07,560
I can't take it anymore.

65
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,220
Can you give me 20 years?

66
00:03:09,221 --> 00:03:10,499
I mean it.

67
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:11,680
Don't take a vacation.

68
00:04:47,370 --> 00:04:48,420
Okay.

69
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,290
Thank you.

70
00:05:27,060 --> 00:05:29,400
Not a good day for Sid Hirshberg.

71
00:05:29,401 --> 00:05:32,959
Last week it was the D .A. in Torrance
who tore up his files and threw them at

72
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:33,519
the judge.

73
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,180
Let me take you away from all this.

74
00:05:36,340 --> 00:05:37,390
Lunch? Later?

75
00:05:37,620 --> 00:05:39,820
Oh, no. No, not a great idea.

76
00:05:39,821 --> 00:05:42,279
What, you can't even be seen with me at
lunch?

77
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:44,260
Just until after the elections are over.

78
00:05:44,261 --> 00:05:48,399
I'm getting pretty sick of this sneaking
around, Grace. Just a second. Do you

79
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,229
realize that we have not even been to a
restaurant together?

80
00:05:51,230 --> 00:05:52,950
To a movie or a play? Mm -hmm.

81
00:05:52,951 --> 00:05:57,449
A few more weeks until we don't have to
worry about the gossip, the newspapers,

82
00:05:57,450 --> 00:05:59,949
the television. I don't know how to
break this to you, but I am not Prince

83
00:05:59,950 --> 00:06:03,500
Charles, and you are not Lady Di, and
this is a little Munich court race.

84
00:06:03,501 --> 00:06:07,269
No one remembers or even cares that you
changed your mind about getting married.

85
00:06:07,270 --> 00:06:10,989
It was no big deal. Ditching the groom
at the altar, hand and paw with the

86
00:06:10,990 --> 00:06:15,269
gorilla is... Yesterday's headlines,
Grace, 15 minutes of fame. Tomorrow

87
00:06:15,270 --> 00:06:19,000
all going to be buzzing about how Sid
Hirshberg punched out his own client.

88
00:06:19,370 --> 00:06:20,420
Maybe you're right.

89
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,860
So, where do you want to go to get
lunch?

90
00:06:26,620 --> 00:06:27,670
I can't.

91
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,160
I have homework to do.

92
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,050
Meet the candidates.

93
00:06:31,051 --> 00:06:34,719
That's tomorrow night. Yes, and I have
to give it every spare minute I've got.

94
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:35,860
The press will be there.

95
00:06:36,900 --> 00:06:38,300
What time tomorrow night?

96
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,019
You don't really want to come. No, you
don't. Yes, I do. I promise I will wear

97
00:06:43,020 --> 00:06:45,850
suit. I will not pick my teeth. You're
just being paranoid.

98
00:06:46,540 --> 00:06:47,860
Nothing's going to happen.

99
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,170
Okay.

100
00:06:50,090 --> 00:06:51,140
It starts at 8.

101
00:06:51,530 --> 00:06:52,580
Meet me there.

102
00:06:52,950 --> 00:06:54,990
And we can go have dinner afterward.

103
00:06:55,630 --> 00:06:56,680
In public.

104
00:06:57,570 --> 00:06:59,250
You'll even let me hold your hand?

105
00:07:00,470 --> 00:07:01,520
Maybe.

106
00:07:08,290 --> 00:07:15,050
If you would take your seats,

107
00:07:15,090 --> 00:07:19,649
people. It is once again my unpleasant
task to remind you of your tardiness

108
00:07:19,650 --> 00:07:22,710
regarding weekly accounting of your
billable hours.

109
00:07:23,130 --> 00:07:28,229
Last week, only Stuart Markowitz had his
report in on time. A certain other

110
00:07:28,230 --> 00:07:32,909
attorney who shall remain nameless, Miss
Kelsey, is behind more than four weeks

111
00:07:32,910 --> 00:07:33,829
on her reports.

112
00:07:33,830 --> 00:07:34,880
People, please.

113
00:07:35,470 --> 00:07:40,929
When accounting is late, billing is
late. When billing is late, cash flow

114
00:07:40,930 --> 00:07:44,270
clogged sewage line is reduced to a
trickle. Need I elaborate?

115
00:07:45,550 --> 00:07:51,569
Now, on a more upbeat note, a sizable
attaboy to Arnold Becker for recognizing

116
00:07:51,570 --> 00:07:56,309
the cinematic potential of Hillary
Mishkin's Rosebush and in securing for

117
00:07:56,310 --> 00:08:01,549
firm a two and one half percent share in
the profits of SAME. For those not

118
00:08:01,550 --> 00:08:06,869
aware, the film has opened to glowing
reviews and even more importantly, boffo

119
00:08:06,870 --> 00:08:07,869
box office.

120
00:08:07,870 --> 00:08:11,190
And business is even better the second
week. Moving on, Victor.

121
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,060
You're representing Jeffrey Sullivan in
his cocaine trial?

122
00:08:15,340 --> 00:08:16,540
At my request, yes.

123
00:08:17,220 --> 00:08:21,000
Apparently, the boy trusts no one but
Victor. And Sullivan Sr.

124
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,780
was eloquent in his plea for
representation.

125
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,280
Like father, like son.

126
00:08:25,281 --> 00:08:28,579
The boy may have embarrassed us, but
he's entitled to the best defense

127
00:08:28,580 --> 00:08:29,960
nevertheless. Proceeding.

128
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,659
Who is Evelyn Frost as regards the
Gwendolyn Merriwell Trust?

129
00:08:34,660 --> 00:08:38,829
The late Miss Marywell set up a trust
for her niece and nephew, and on their

130
00:08:38,830 --> 00:08:42,610
deaths, their share was to provide
assistance for the poor of Beverly

131
00:08:43,070 --> 00:08:44,330
Defined as what exactly?

132
00:08:44,550 --> 00:08:46,960
Any poor wretch without his own swimming
pool?

133
00:08:47,450 --> 00:08:51,010
The nephew has died, and the trustees
haven't distributed a dime yet.

134
00:08:51,011 --> 00:08:54,829
The niece wants them to live up to the
intent to help poor people wherever they

135
00:08:54,830 --> 00:08:56,950
live. Very noble, Miss Kelsey.

136
00:08:57,530 --> 00:09:02,069
Though perhaps you're forgetting your
fiscal responsibility as a partner in

137
00:09:02,070 --> 00:09:05,020
firm? The trustees are sitting on $80
million.

138
00:09:05,021 --> 00:09:09,119
And if my efforts can get them to spend
some of it to alleviate some of the

139
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,479
suffering and misery in this world, I
happen to think that's more significant

140
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,220
than generating fees for this firm.

141
00:09:14,900 --> 00:09:21,639
Well, I suppose if you shake an $80
million tree, something is bound to fall

142
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:22,690
way.

143
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,960
Finally, Turtletaub versus Turtletaub.

144
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,590
Unfortunately, we've just found out that
Mr. Turtletaub has been...

145
00:09:32,591 --> 00:09:34,949
Less than candid about his community
assets.

146
00:09:34,950 --> 00:09:38,669
And Miss Perkins is handling this? Well,
she expressed an interest in family

147
00:09:38,670 --> 00:09:42,490
law, and since I'm branching into
entertainment, it seemed to make sense.

148
00:09:42,810 --> 00:09:44,770
Anyway, I'll be back stopping her.

149
00:09:46,390 --> 00:09:48,310
Arnold, what the hell is going on here?

150
00:09:48,330 --> 00:09:50,920
I thought we had an equitable agreement
worked out.

151
00:09:50,921 --> 00:09:53,919
According to our investigator, your
client's been hiding assets in a holding

152
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,579
company in the Netherlands, Antilles.

153
00:09:55,580 --> 00:09:59,039
The same client who testified under
penalty of perjury that he was too

154
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,939
impoverished to provide support for his
wife and child, forcing my client to

155
00:10:02,940 --> 00:10:04,320
take boarders into her home.

156
00:10:05,620 --> 00:10:07,480
It's possible there was an oversight.

157
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:09,360
Where else have they got it stashed?

158
00:10:09,540 --> 00:10:10,740
Cayman Islands, maybe?

159
00:10:10,780 --> 00:10:11,830
Switzerland?

160
00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:17,299
Perhaps my client could be persuaded to
throw another $100 ,000 into the

161
00:10:17,300 --> 00:10:20,130
community pot in consideration of a
speedy settlement.

162
00:10:20,460 --> 00:10:24,020
With all due respect, Mr. Prey, I think
your client is a bum and a liar.

163
00:10:24,021 --> 00:10:27,519
And until we've had the opportunity to
fully investigate all of his financial

164
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,359
assets, there can and will be no
settlement. Arnold. Don't look at him.

165
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,350
dealing with me. And we're off the
table.

166
00:10:33,351 --> 00:10:37,419
Well, the truth is, I don't know how
much I'm going to be able to help you,

167
00:10:37,420 --> 00:10:41,259
Jeffrey. Come on, Mr. Cifuentes. You
must have gotten hundreds of guys off

168
00:10:41,260 --> 00:10:43,970
lots worse than this. Jeffrey, it's a
dead -bang loser.

169
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,370
It was entrapment. Where do you see
entrapment?

170
00:10:47,371 --> 00:10:52,489
At the prelim, they played a tape of you
boasting to the cop that you'd be able

171
00:10:52,490 --> 00:10:54,429
to get him the greatest stuff north of
La Paz.

172
00:10:54,430 --> 00:10:58,040
I wasn't reading my rights. Twenty
-three people heard him read you your

173
00:10:58,041 --> 00:10:59,409
It's just a plenty.

174
00:10:59,410 --> 00:11:01,610
Now, don't take this the wrong way.

175
00:11:03,290 --> 00:11:08,509
Can we buy our way out of this? Whoa,
listen, kid. That ain't gonna fly. Now,

176
00:11:08,510 --> 00:11:11,349
you're serious about that, you're gonna
find yourself another lawyer.

177
00:11:11,350 --> 00:11:12,990
I was just joking.

178
00:11:14,170 --> 00:11:15,510
Okay? I swear.

179
00:11:16,470 --> 00:11:18,090
Just tell me what you want me to do.

180
00:11:18,990 --> 00:11:21,230
Okay, I'm suggesting that you plead
guilty.

181
00:11:21,730 --> 00:11:27,069
Now, as the first offense, I can
probably get you probation and 45 days

182
00:11:27,070 --> 00:11:28,390
county jail as a condition.

183
00:11:29,150 --> 00:11:30,550
I can't, Mr. Suplentes.

184
00:11:30,830 --> 00:11:36,169
I know I'm driving you nuts, and you're
doing a great job, really, but if I cop

185
00:11:36,170 --> 00:11:39,869
to a felony, it'll screw me up with the
ethics committee. I'll never be a

186
00:11:39,870 --> 00:11:42,589
lawyer. Do you realize that you're
looking at state jail time if you're

187
00:11:42,590 --> 00:11:46,409
convicted? The jury will like me. I can
be very charming. The jury will resent

188
00:11:46,410 --> 00:11:48,030
you for being a spoiled, rich kid.

189
00:11:49,140 --> 00:11:52,760
I knew this guy, and he got busted with
a gram in his car.

190
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,659
Now, he cops to a misdemeanor
possession, he does a year with a

191
00:11:56,660 --> 00:11:58,220
it totally taken off his record.

192
00:11:58,680 --> 00:11:59,730
I'd do that.

193
00:11:59,731 --> 00:12:01,499
Jeffrey, you were selling cocaine.

194
00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:03,240
They don't let sellers cop to a myth.

195
00:12:03,260 --> 00:12:05,900
All my life, all I ever wanted to be was
a lawyer.

196
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,820
Don't let him take my dreams away.

197
00:12:11,860 --> 00:12:12,910
Okay.

198
00:12:13,700 --> 00:12:16,340
I will talk to the DA. You want me to go
with you?

199
00:12:16,820 --> 00:12:17,870
No, no.

200
00:12:19,550 --> 00:12:20,750
You're going to do great.

201
00:12:22,190 --> 00:12:23,240
Really.

202
00:12:23,650 --> 00:12:26,050
You haven't spent dime one on the poor.

203
00:12:27,350 --> 00:12:30,480
Take a look at this portfolio, my dear,
and tell me what you see.

204
00:12:30,890 --> 00:12:34,260
Drive down Olympic Boulevard, Mr.
Jarrett, and tell me what you see.

205
00:12:34,550 --> 00:12:39,249
People sleeping in dumpsters, eating
garbage, ugliness, Mr. Jarrett, which

206
00:12:39,250 --> 00:12:42,869
be made pretty by some fancy little
graph in your accountant's coloring

207
00:12:42,870 --> 00:12:46,830
I see no cause for indignation. People
are starving, sir. Some are dying.

208
00:12:47,310 --> 00:12:50,620
As far as causes for indignation go, I'd
say that's a damn good one.

209
00:12:51,350 --> 00:12:52,810
What would you have us do?

210
00:12:53,710 --> 00:12:56,930
Here's a list of charitable foundations
which serve the needy.

211
00:12:56,931 --> 00:13:00,509
They're all consistent with the spirit
of the trust, and all you have to do is

212
00:13:00,510 --> 00:13:01,429
sign the check.

213
00:13:01,430 --> 00:13:02,480
Just a minute.

214
00:13:03,050 --> 00:13:06,590
Every one of these institutions is
outside the city limits.

215
00:13:07,150 --> 00:13:09,560
And the language of the trust is quite
explicit.

216
00:13:09,690 --> 00:13:12,390
To the poor people of Beverly Hills.

217
00:13:12,860 --> 00:13:17,119
She wanted to help the homeless. And if
she had ever thought that poverty would

218
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,299
be extinguished in Beverly Hills, she
would have marked the money for poor

219
00:13:20,300 --> 00:13:21,380
people in other towns.

220
00:13:21,540 --> 00:13:25,719
My client's job, young lady, is not to
play would have, could have, or should

221
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:30,240
have. As trustees, they must give the
words of the trust strict construction.

222
00:13:30,860 --> 00:13:34,410
The fact remains there are no poor
people in Beverly Hills at this time.

223
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:35,700
It's too late anyway.

224
00:13:36,180 --> 00:13:38,350
This year's interest is already in
escrow.

225
00:13:38,420 --> 00:13:41,240
We're building a park in Miss
Merriwell's honor.

226
00:13:41,969 --> 00:13:46,490
What? Yes, with a beautiful marble
statue. It's a lovely tribute.

227
00:13:46,491 --> 00:13:50,069
You're not spending that money on a
park. I'll get an injunction.

228
00:13:50,070 --> 00:13:54,429
Not to lecture you on the law, Miss
Kelsey, but the dispute here is a matter

229
00:13:54,430 --> 00:13:55,480
an interpretation.

230
00:13:55,730 --> 00:14:00,189
And since yours is contrary to the
express wording of the trust, no judge

231
00:14:00,190 --> 00:14:01,870
world will give you an injunction.

232
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:04,840
Any attorney worth her salt should know
that.

233
00:14:04,910 --> 00:14:07,800
You say the trust is for the poor people
of Beverly Hills?

234
00:14:08,570 --> 00:14:09,620
Fine.

235
00:14:11,790 --> 00:14:14,800
Then it's the poor people of Beverly
Hills who will stop you.

236
00:14:19,401 --> 00:14:20,929
And

237
00:14:20,930 --> 00:14:30,449
without

238
00:14:30,450 --> 00:14:34,049
the injunction, Your Honor, the fund
will be severely drained by buying and

239
00:14:34,050 --> 00:14:35,130
developing that park.

240
00:14:35,270 --> 00:14:38,550
The injury to my client will be both
immediate and irreparable.

241
00:14:38,830 --> 00:14:40,470
What client, Your Honor?

242
00:14:40,860 --> 00:14:42,700
Beverly Hills has no poor people.

243
00:14:42,701 --> 00:14:46,479
Now, if we can't take judicial notice of
that fact, I direct the court's

244
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,679
attention to the affidavits from the
city tax assessor. Your Honor, you need

245
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:55,179
own property to be a resident. Residency
is satisfied by the intent to remain

246
00:14:55,180 --> 00:14:58,130
indefinitely. Fine, then show me a
person with that intent.

247
00:14:58,131 --> 00:14:59,919
I'd like to call a witness, Your Honor.

248
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:03,359
Well, this is not an evidentiary
hearing, Miss Kelsey. Can't you just

249
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,670
declaration? Your Honor, this witness
neither reads nor writes.

250
00:15:06,671 --> 00:15:10,379
She does have a story to tell, however,
and I think the interest of justice

251
00:15:10,380 --> 00:15:12,300
would be served by letting her testify.

252
00:15:12,460 --> 00:15:13,840
This is most inappropriate.

253
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:15,460
I'll ask the questions.

254
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:16,770
Call her up here.

255
00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:18,350
Miss Flaherty?

256
00:15:22,780 --> 00:15:24,580
Where do you live, Miss Flaherty?

257
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,160
In Beverly Hills.

258
00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:28,820
Where exactly in Beverly Hills?

259
00:15:29,100 --> 00:15:30,640
Mostly in Roxbury Park.

260
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,110
Sometimes in people's backyards if
nobody's home.

261
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,220
And you sleep in Roxbury Park?

262
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:38,840
Yes, I do.

263
00:15:39,740 --> 00:15:43,680
And do you live all by yourself, ma 'am?
I don't like other people.

264
00:15:44,260 --> 00:15:46,760
I'll cut the first bastard that messed
with me.

265
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,499
Come on, let me have it. Keep away from
me. I'll cut you. No one is going to

266
00:15:51,500 --> 00:15:52,880
hurt you, ma 'am. Miss Kelsey.

267
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,120
Katie, please.

268
00:15:54,121 --> 00:15:55,779
Come on.

269
00:15:55,780 --> 00:15:57,220
Can you just give it to me?

270
00:15:58,780 --> 00:16:00,320
I promise I'll hold it for you.

271
00:16:01,950 --> 00:16:03,000
Okay.

272
00:16:03,350 --> 00:16:05,110
You ain't lied to me yet.

273
00:16:12,370 --> 00:16:15,250
I don't thank you, ma 'am.

274
00:16:18,270 --> 00:16:21,850
Do you know how long you've lived in
Beverly Hills?

275
00:16:23,510 --> 00:16:24,890
Almost eight years.

276
00:16:25,190 --> 00:16:27,210
I come from Chicago in 78.

277
00:16:27,870 --> 00:16:29,250
Sorry, damn place.

278
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,060
Almost froze me plumbing.

279
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:32,840
Well, why Beverly Hills?

280
00:16:33,220 --> 00:16:34,360
I like the people.

281
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,700
And the cops don't hit you.

282
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,920
And I... I like those fruit trees.

283
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:43,120
And I like the sounds of it.

284
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,280
Living in Beverly Hills.

285
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,040
Do you ever move around to other towns?

286
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,840
I live in Roxbury Park. I don't like
other places.

287
00:16:55,180 --> 00:16:56,320
I just stay home.

288
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,690
All right, well, thank you, Miss
Flaherty. That'll be all.

289
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:04,019
All right, in light of the foregoing,
I'm satisfied for now that Miss Flaherty

290
00:17:04,020 --> 00:17:07,399
lives in Beverly Hills. I'm therefore
going to grant plaintiff's request for

291
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,010
injunction. I'm going to also place this
case on the advanced trial list.

292
00:17:11,140 --> 00:17:14,979
Now, the matter of Miss Flaherty's
residency, of course, can again be

293
00:17:14,980 --> 00:17:16,300
at that time. That'll be all.

294
00:17:16,780 --> 00:17:18,400
Can I see counsel at the bench?

295
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,440
Settle this thing, Mr. Tucker.

296
00:17:34,441 --> 00:17:38,739
Even if you somehow dispose with Miss
Flaherty, I'm sure that there are other

297
00:17:38,740 --> 00:17:43,299
such people similarly situated. Now,
that would mean, sir, that your whole

298
00:17:43,300 --> 00:17:46,759
would come down to convincing me that
your proposed park is for the benefit of

299
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:47,810
these people.

300
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,180
You don't want your whole case to come
down to that, do you?

301
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:57,890
Marilyn?

302
00:17:58,360 --> 00:18:00,040
Victor. I could hear you.

303
00:18:02,830 --> 00:18:03,880
Have a seat.

304
00:18:08,290 --> 00:18:09,340
Not there.

305
00:18:09,570 --> 00:18:11,190
That was my grandmother's chair.

306
00:18:13,290 --> 00:18:14,340
It's a beauty.

307
00:18:17,530 --> 00:18:19,450
I've been looking for a chair like that.

308
00:18:20,790 --> 00:18:21,930
Afraid I can't help you.

309
00:18:21,931 --> 00:18:26,269
Now, I assume you didn't come here to
discuss interior decorating.

310
00:18:26,270 --> 00:18:27,320
Right.

311
00:18:27,321 --> 00:18:28,409
Sullivan case.

312
00:18:28,410 --> 00:18:30,150
Pleat to the felony a year in county.

313
00:18:30,170 --> 00:18:31,220
A year?

314
00:18:31,290 --> 00:18:32,340
Come on.

315
00:18:32,380 --> 00:18:33,640
Clean kid, first offense.

316
00:18:33,641 --> 00:18:34,639
Let's cut to a myth.

317
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,279
Your clean kid was a major dope dealer
on campus till he moved it back to your

318
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:38,999
law firm.

319
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,710
That's hearsay, Marilyn, which you can't
make stick.

320
00:18:43,060 --> 00:18:45,470
Nice to know you haven't changed at all,
Victor.

321
00:18:45,820 --> 00:18:48,950
Even now that you're defending a better
-paying class of scum.

322
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:51,820
You got something against me?

323
00:18:52,220 --> 00:18:53,480
The Angeletti case.

324
00:18:54,100 --> 00:18:55,150
Russell Putman.

325
00:18:56,140 --> 00:18:58,460
You know, I have gone against you five
times.

326
00:18:58,461 --> 00:19:02,719
And in each case, you have used every
backdoor unethical hustle to get your

327
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:03,770
client off.

328
00:19:03,780 --> 00:19:04,830
That's my job.

329
00:19:04,860 --> 00:19:05,910
That's your job?

330
00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:07,440
Obscuring the truth?

331
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,199
Look, there's no truth to be obscured
here. I'm not denying the fact of what

332
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:12,819
kid did.

333
00:19:12,820 --> 00:19:16,010
But you can't deny that there's 2 ,500
cases backed up downtown.

334
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:21,379
20 ,000 inmates in a jail system that's
designed for 12 ,000. You got murderers,

335
00:19:21,380 --> 00:19:25,259
rapists. You got violent criminals to
worry about, Marilyn. I just think that

336
00:19:25,260 --> 00:19:28,570
the scheme of things, Jeffrey Sullivan
is pretty small potatoes.

337
00:19:28,639 --> 00:19:29,689
No misdemeanor.

338
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,840
Plead guilty to the felony or no deal.

339
00:19:33,060 --> 00:19:34,110
No deal.

340
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,220
I'm going to nail that kid.

341
00:19:36,860 --> 00:19:38,060
And I'm going to nail you.

342
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,580
And I'm going to love every minute of
it.

343
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:43,450
I'll see you in court.

344
00:19:43,451 --> 00:19:50,319
The defendant reached under the drop
cloth and extracted a baggie filled with

345
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,750
white powdery substance resembling
cocaine, which he handed to me.

346
00:19:53,751 --> 00:19:56,479
As I took it from him, he said, where's
my thousand?

347
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,429
What did you do at that time, detective?

348
00:19:58,430 --> 00:20:01,809
I told him he was under arrest, read him
his rights, and took him into custody.

349
00:20:01,810 --> 00:20:02,890
Thank you, Detective.

350
00:20:03,250 --> 00:20:04,330
No further questions.

351
00:20:05,330 --> 00:20:06,380
Mr. Cifuentes?

352
00:20:07,450 --> 00:20:11,710
Detective Mitchell, did any money change
hands between you and Mr. Sullivan?

353
00:20:12,110 --> 00:20:15,829
No. Oh, so in other words, when you
seized the baggie from him, there was no

354
00:20:15,830 --> 00:20:18,600
real transaction, was there? I didn't
seize anything.

355
00:20:18,770 --> 00:20:20,030
He delivered it to me.

356
00:20:20,630 --> 00:20:23,880
Second, it's against LAPD policy to
carry cash around like that.

357
00:20:23,881 --> 00:20:30,549
Detective Mitchell, what did you do with
the baggie that you say you confiscated

358
00:20:30,550 --> 00:20:31,409
from the defendant?

359
00:20:31,410 --> 00:20:32,850
I placed it in an evidence bag.

360
00:20:32,851 --> 00:20:34,389
People's Exhibit A?

361
00:20:34,390 --> 00:20:35,440
Yes.

362
00:20:37,110 --> 00:20:38,160
I'm just curious.

363
00:20:39,150 --> 00:20:43,369
How could you be so sure, Detective
Mitchell, that this is the very same

364
00:20:43,370 --> 00:20:44,420
evidence bag?

365
00:20:45,050 --> 00:20:47,340
I placed my initials on it with a felt
-tip pen.

366
00:20:47,890 --> 00:20:49,230
RM, right here.

367
00:20:49,231 --> 00:20:53,149
I placed my initials on the baggie in a
likewise fashion with a grease -fit

368
00:20:53,150 --> 00:20:54,200
marker.

369
00:20:55,781 --> 00:20:58,279
Could I see that, please?

370
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,330
Some kind of trick?

371
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:00,860
What? No.

372
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:02,840
Move for dismissal, Your Honor.

373
00:21:03,260 --> 00:21:05,060
Objection. Well, this is outrageous.

374
00:21:05,061 --> 00:21:06,079
That's enough.

375
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,550
I want to see both attorneys in
chambers, please.

376
00:21:12,540 --> 00:21:15,140
Okay. What the hell is going on here?

377
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,460
Obviously, someone stole the evidence.

378
00:21:17,461 --> 00:21:20,639
Without which the state cannot establish
the elements of a crime, Your Honor.

379
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,310
For all the DA can prove, Mr. Sullivan
could have been selling baby powder.

380
00:21:24,311 --> 00:21:28,009
We have a taped transcript of the sale,
the testimony of the undercover agent,

381
00:21:28,010 --> 00:21:29,890
plus the lab analysis of the evidence.

382
00:21:29,891 --> 00:21:33,369
Admitting the report without the
evidence in court would deny my client

383
00:21:33,370 --> 00:21:36,869
constitutional right to confront and
cross -examine the witnesses and

384
00:21:36,870 --> 00:21:37,920
against him.

385
00:21:38,810 --> 00:21:42,300
Your Honor, at the very least, I'd move
for a continuance. To what end?

386
00:21:42,301 --> 00:21:44,649
You're the one who said it was obviously
stolen.

387
00:21:44,650 --> 00:21:47,729
Do you have any realistic hope of
finding the evidence within the

388
00:21:47,730 --> 00:21:48,780
time?

389
00:21:49,730 --> 00:21:50,780
No, Your Honor.

390
00:21:50,810 --> 00:21:51,860
Well, then...

391
00:21:52,140 --> 00:21:54,000
I'm afraid he's got you, Miss Feldman.

392
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,300
I have no choice but to dismiss.

393
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:02,770
Mrs. Fuentes!

394
00:22:02,771 --> 00:22:05,719
Want to join us? My dad's going to take
us out to celebrate.

395
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:06,770
Victor!

396
00:22:06,771 --> 00:22:11,579
So you know there's going to be a full
investigation.

397
00:22:11,580 --> 00:22:14,410
Good. I'd like to know what happened
to... Oh, I bet you would.

398
00:22:14,660 --> 00:22:15,710
What does that mean?

399
00:22:15,711 --> 00:22:19,479
Everyone knows Victor Fuentes will do
anything to win a case. And if there's

400
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,259
other way, he just steals the evidence.

401
00:22:21,260 --> 00:22:23,279
You have just bought yourself a lawsuit,
counselor.

402
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,840
Yeah? Well, in case you forgot, truth is
a total defense, counselor.

403
00:22:26,841 --> 00:22:28,779
Well, keep talking. Believe me, I can
use the money.

404
00:22:28,780 --> 00:22:30,280
I'm going to see you disbarred.

405
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:39,159
As a cop for 11 years, and then six as a
lawyer in private practice, I know the

406
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,980
junkies, the thieves, and the dope
pushers.

407
00:22:41,981 --> 00:22:45,379
And some of these guys, when they come
up on their first rap, you know they

408
00:22:45,380 --> 00:22:46,219
a mistake.

409
00:22:46,220 --> 00:22:49,500
But others, on their first rap, you
know.

410
00:22:49,501 --> 00:22:51,979
There are hardened criminals on the
rise.

411
00:22:51,980 --> 00:22:54,600
A judge needs to know the difference.

412
00:22:55,160 --> 00:23:00,259
I know him when I see him. And that's
the experience I'll bring to the

413
00:23:00,260 --> 00:23:01,660
bench. Thank you.

414
00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:08,040
I can choose the candidate statements.

415
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:09,900
The floor is now open for questions.

416
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:11,400
Mrs. Warren. Ms. Van Owen.

417
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:13,290
Yes.

418
00:23:13,291 --> 00:23:17,339
Ms. Van Owen, isn't it true that to most
of your colleagues you're something of

419
00:23:17,340 --> 00:23:18,390
a laughingstock?

420
00:23:18,860 --> 00:23:19,910
I beg your pardon?

421
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,079
Isn't it true that you walked out on
your own wedding two weeks ago with

422
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,180
in a gorilla suit?

423
00:23:27,140 --> 00:23:33,379
Well, that story has been grossly
exaggerated, and I won't even dignify it

424
00:23:33,380 --> 00:23:34,339
a response.

425
00:23:34,340 --> 00:23:37,120
Proving once again a picture's worth a
thousand words.

426
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,560
Who's the ape, Ms. Van Owen?

427
00:23:53,941 --> 00:23:57,039
and this whole thing gonna blow?

428
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,700
It will not blow over.

429
00:23:58,940 --> 00:24:02,960
I can see the headlines now. Candidate
Van Owen goes ape at wedding. It's over.

430
00:24:03,260 --> 00:24:07,460
I'm pulling out of the race. I wish you
wouldn't do that. Michael, no advice.

431
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,570
Grace. Everything has gone wrong from
the day that I met you. Come on. Please,

432
00:24:11,620 --> 00:24:13,540
just leave me alone.

433
00:24:15,340 --> 00:24:18,000
I'll call you. No, don't.

434
00:24:18,700 --> 00:24:20,280
I need the time to think.

435
00:24:35,951 --> 00:24:41,039
You're a difficult and ordinary woman,
young lady.

436
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,090
Thank you.

437
00:24:42,140 --> 00:24:47,479
But I cannot believe that you expect us
to stand passively by while this crazed

438
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,480
bag lady of yours becomes the recipient
of $80 million.

439
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,460
That was never my intent.

440
00:24:52,780 --> 00:24:56,959
Was it your intent to have every
homeless, ambulatory schizophrenic in

441
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,580
Angeles move to Beverly Hills?

442
00:24:58,940 --> 00:24:59,990
Absolutely not.

443
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,280
Well, let her finish.

444
00:25:03,281 --> 00:25:08,479
For those poor people who actually live
in Beverly Hills, I want a soup kitchen

445
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,180
and residential housing set up.

446
00:25:10,540 --> 00:25:14,959
For the larger picture, however, I will
again give you the list of charitable

447
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,939
foundations which serve the needy
throughout Los Angeles.

448
00:25:17,940 --> 00:25:21,740
I still think we can win this case in a
trial on its own merits.

449
00:25:23,220 --> 00:25:28,679
Gentlemen, while I'm rattling my saber
and you are out watering your hydrants

450
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,260
over what amounts to a territorial
dispute...

451
00:25:31,261 --> 00:25:35,399
There are thousands of people in Los
Angeles whose genuine suffering can be

452
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,570
alleviated with the funds from this
trust.

453
00:25:37,980 --> 00:25:43,239
I implore you, save us all the time and
expense of a trial, which we both know

454
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,019
you'll lose.

455
00:25:44,020 --> 00:25:49,019
Do the decent and right thing. Be the
trustees of Miss Meriwell's spirit as

456
00:25:49,020 --> 00:25:50,070
as her money.

457
00:25:50,540 --> 00:25:51,590
What do you say?

458
00:26:33,580 --> 00:26:35,930
Grace Van Owen, please. Michael Kuzak
calling.

459
00:26:37,020 --> 00:26:38,070
She must be there.

460
00:26:38,740 --> 00:26:41,510
I just came from court, and I've been
trying her at home.

461
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:42,690
What?

462
00:26:44,060 --> 00:26:46,040
Would you please tell her that I called?

463
00:26:47,580 --> 00:26:48,630
Thank you.

464
00:26:50,180 --> 00:26:54,299
We're not looking for a lengthy and
bitter dispute here, in consideration of

465
00:26:54,300 --> 00:26:57,250
which we've compiled a new and revised
schedule of assets.

466
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,619
In the interest of fairness, our list of
Mr. Turtletaub's holdings now

467
00:27:01,620 --> 00:27:07,219
includes... 125 shares of Eastlaw
Productions, gift from his father, part

468
00:27:07,220 --> 00:27:12,940
ownership in the racehorse Gimme a
Turtle, the bank account in the

469
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:19,259
Antilles, a 35 -acre apple orchard in
Oregon, and a coin collection valued at

470
00:27:19,260 --> 00:27:21,780
$458. Okay.

471
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,000
Well, it'll take some time to
investigate this new list.

472
00:27:26,001 --> 00:27:29,609
In the interim, we'll be asking for an
immediate increase in monthly support to

473
00:27:29,610 --> 00:27:30,369
$8 ,000.

474
00:27:30,370 --> 00:27:33,629
God almighty. I mean, you make it sound
like I got a million bucks hidden in

475
00:27:33,630 --> 00:27:36,370
some Swiss vault or something. You cheap
crook.

476
00:27:36,610 --> 00:27:37,660
You probably do.

477
00:27:37,910 --> 00:27:42,949
Oh, that's great. Great. You know, you
can sue us, and we can sue you, and by

478
00:27:42,950 --> 00:27:45,449
the time the dust settles, the Loyals
will be rich, and there'll be nothing

479
00:27:45,450 --> 00:27:46,500
for us to split up.

480
00:27:46,501 --> 00:27:49,409
Your wife won't cave in to that sort of
bullying, Mr. Turtletaub.

481
00:27:49,410 --> 00:27:51,700
Maybe she'll cave in to this sort of
bullying.

482
00:27:51,701 --> 00:27:53,489
What's that?

483
00:27:53,490 --> 00:27:54,540
Photos, Ms. Perkins.

484
00:27:54,541 --> 00:27:58,459
of Mrs. Turtletaub in the backyard of
her home sunbathing topless with her

485
00:27:58,460 --> 00:27:59,510
lesbian lover. What?

486
00:27:59,511 --> 00:28:00,579
Here's another.

487
00:28:00,580 --> 00:28:02,800
She's caressing her lover. Let me see
those.

488
00:28:03,700 --> 00:28:08,959
Oh, for God's sake. This is Jessica
Lehman. She and her three -year -old

489
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,400
with us to help meet expenses.

490
00:28:10,540 --> 00:28:14,299
I'm not caressing her. I'm putting
suntan lotion on her back. We plan to

491
00:28:14,300 --> 00:28:17,239
petition the court to appoint a guardian
ad litem to represent the special

492
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:18,380
interests of the child.

493
00:28:18,500 --> 00:28:22,019
We also want Mrs. Turtletaub and her
lover to undergo a psychological

494
00:28:22,020 --> 00:28:26,799
evaluation. How can... you do this to
me? On the other hand, Mr. Turtletaub

495
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,779
not contest the joint custody provision
of the settlement agreement as long as

496
00:28:30,780 --> 00:28:34,999
Mrs. Turtletaub signs this amended
agreement right now, as is, and agrees

497
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,639
terminate her live -in relationship with
Ms. Lehman. Even if you could prove a

498
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,339
lesbian relationship? Which you can't.
Mrs. Turtletaub's sexual orientation has

499
00:28:42,340 --> 00:28:43,960
no bearing on the quality of care.

500
00:28:43,961 --> 00:28:47,139
Why don't we just let the court decide
that, Ms. Perkins? You disgusting

501
00:28:47,140 --> 00:28:51,959
lowlife. Nate, you can't even meet my
eyes. This is such a crock. There's no

502
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,700
I'm going to let you poison my child.

503
00:28:53,701 --> 00:28:55,719
You want to hang out with your dyke
friends?

504
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,059
Fine, be my guest. But you're not going
to raise my little girl. Unless I sign

505
00:28:59,060 --> 00:29:02,430
the agreement, then it's okay. You
started this brawl, lady, not me.

506
00:29:02,431 --> 00:29:05,859
I'll take her out of the state before I
let you in. Ms. Perkins, your client is

507
00:29:05,860 --> 00:29:08,939
threatening a felony. You're the felon.
That's it. To hell with this agreement.

508
00:29:08,940 --> 00:29:11,560
I wouldn't sign it now if you got down
on your knees.

509
00:29:11,561 --> 00:29:15,039
By the time I'm through, you want to see
that little kid, you buy yourself a

510
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,240
telescope. Stop it.

511
00:29:17,050 --> 00:29:18,810
You are disgraceful, both of you.

512
00:29:18,811 --> 00:29:23,449
You're using a six -year -old child to
beat each other to death. If you want to

513
00:29:23,450 --> 00:29:26,169
punish each other, that's your own
business. But you have no right to

514
00:29:26,170 --> 00:29:27,430
your child in the process.

515
00:29:27,431 --> 00:29:31,389
How dare you use this woman's child to
blackmail her? And how dare you threaten

516
00:29:31,390 --> 00:29:32,830
to steal her from her father?

517
00:29:32,831 --> 00:29:36,569
Do either one of you know what it feels
like to not be able to see your child?

518
00:29:36,570 --> 00:29:37,790
Or even know where he is?

519
00:29:38,350 --> 00:29:39,400
Well, I do.

520
00:29:39,430 --> 00:29:42,740
And as far as I'm concerned, neither one
of you is fit to be a parent.

521
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,930
I understand the poor and the homeless
have something to cheer about.

522
00:29:54,100 --> 00:29:55,150
How did you hear?

523
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,020
A man by the name of Jarrett called me a
while ago.

524
00:29:58,780 --> 00:29:59,920
Jarrett from the bank?

525
00:29:59,921 --> 00:30:01,019
The same.

526
00:30:01,020 --> 00:30:02,940
Said they're giving in to your demands.

527
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:05,820
Said he likes your stuff.

528
00:30:07,220 --> 00:30:10,959
So much so, he's asked to retain you to
handle all the bank's future

529
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,340
litigations. Are you serious?

530
00:30:14,140 --> 00:30:17,300
He gets to be worth a half million
dollars a year to us in fees.

531
00:30:17,780 --> 00:30:19,280
I can't believe this.

532
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:26,480
Yes? Well, here's another surprise.

533
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,000
$87 ,000 to me?

534
00:30:31,380 --> 00:30:35,399
In light of your rain dance, we've
decided to waive your buy -in to the

535
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,110
partnership, hence the return of your
contribution.

536
00:30:40,460 --> 00:30:42,000
I don't know what to say.

537
00:30:42,500 --> 00:30:47,020
It's... Well, it falls short of
reflecting how proud I am of you, Ann.

538
00:30:48,020 --> 00:30:49,160
You did a great thing.

539
00:30:49,630 --> 00:30:50,680
For a worthy cause.

540
00:30:51,390 --> 00:30:54,850
And that check is just our way of saying
we like your stuff, too.

541
00:31:07,890 --> 00:31:08,940
Victor. Marilyn.

542
00:31:10,650 --> 00:31:11,730
Great -looking shirt.

543
00:31:12,910 --> 00:31:15,800
I've been searching all over for
something in that color.

544
00:31:16,580 --> 00:31:20,219
Since I got a figure that you didn't
invite me out to $100 lunch to quiz me

545
00:31:20,220 --> 00:31:25,059
fashion tips, I want to take a wild
guess that this has something to do with

546
00:31:25,060 --> 00:31:27,160
lawsuit. I wanted you to hear it from
me.

547
00:31:27,161 --> 00:31:30,039
There'll be some arrests this afternoon.

548
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:31,090
Oh, yeah?

549
00:31:31,540 --> 00:31:32,700
Three court clerks.

550
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,970
For the last six months, they've been
stealing cocaine out of evidence.

551
00:31:37,971 --> 00:31:40,799
Most of the time, the case gets settled
before trial, so it never gets

552
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:45,639
discovered. Yesterday, LAPD stung one of
the guys, and he rolled over on the

553
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:46,690
other two.

554
00:31:47,550 --> 00:31:50,550
What you're saying is my client just got
lucky.

555
00:31:51,450 --> 00:31:52,500
Looks that way.

556
00:31:54,130 --> 00:31:55,180
Interesting.

557
00:31:55,950 --> 00:31:59,749
And it sure does beef up my slander suit
now that you've lost your truth

558
00:31:59,750 --> 00:32:00,800
defense.

559
00:32:01,630 --> 00:32:03,610
Victor, isn't there anything we can do?

560
00:32:04,550 --> 00:32:06,720
I'd really like to settle this out of
court.

561
00:32:06,721 --> 00:32:10,949
What do you want from my life? You want
to see me squirm?

562
00:32:10,950 --> 00:32:12,000
For starters.

563
00:32:15,310 --> 00:32:16,360
What else?

564
00:32:16,490 --> 00:32:17,540
Anything.

565
00:32:17,990 --> 00:32:19,650
Well, you could apologize.

566
00:32:20,110 --> 00:32:21,210
I'm sorry, Victor.

567
00:32:22,310 --> 00:32:23,390
I really am.

568
00:32:23,870 --> 00:32:24,920
Public apology.

569
00:32:26,190 --> 00:32:27,870
I'll write a letter to the Times.

570
00:32:28,390 --> 00:32:29,530
And a press conference.

571
00:32:33,290 --> 00:32:34,340
Okay.

572
00:32:37,350 --> 00:32:41,270
Thank you, Victor. I appreciate how
reasonable you've been.

573
00:32:41,630 --> 00:32:42,680
In your chair.

574
00:32:42,790 --> 00:32:45,650
What? You're, uh, rocking.

575
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,090
Chair.

576
00:32:47,700 --> 00:32:50,950
Well, I write all my opening and closing
arguments in that chair.

577
00:32:51,060 --> 00:32:52,540
That chair's priceless to me.

578
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:54,970
Okay,

579
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:56,890
no problem.

580
00:33:00,220 --> 00:33:01,270
Thank you.

581
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:02,330
Yeah.

582
00:33:02,331 --> 00:33:06,119
I mean, with a million -dollar judgment,
I can go buy my own chair, right?

583
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,980
I'll have it delivered to your office.

584
00:33:08,940 --> 00:33:10,020
May I take your order?

585
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:11,290
Mm -hmm.

586
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,950
What's the most expensive thing on your
menu?

587
00:33:57,410 --> 00:33:58,460
Katie?

588
00:34:00,690 --> 00:34:01,740
Katie?

589
00:34:02,510 --> 00:34:07,430
What do you want now?

590
00:34:07,750 --> 00:34:11,070
I just came to inform my client that we
won.

591
00:34:13,670 --> 00:34:14,929
I get the money.

592
00:34:15,409 --> 00:34:17,190
Well, you get food, clothing.

593
00:34:17,530 --> 00:34:18,889
Oh, I do my own shopping.

594
00:34:19,610 --> 00:34:20,690
Give me some money.

595
00:34:21,090 --> 00:34:23,170
It isn't that simple, but...

596
00:34:23,171 --> 00:34:26,899
If you go down and register at the
residential hotel on Burton Way, you'll

597
00:34:26,900 --> 00:34:27,738
you have a bed.

598
00:34:27,739 --> 00:34:31,709
And for food, they're going to set up a
soup kitchen at the Presbyterian Church.

599
00:34:31,940 --> 00:34:33,020
I ain't going nowhere.

600
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,399
But, Katie, these places are going to
feed you and house you. Nobody tells me

601
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,780
where to go and what to eat.

602
00:34:40,219 --> 00:34:46,119
But, Katie... If I wanted three huts and
a cop forever, all I have to do is slit

603
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:47,380
your throat. Put that away.

604
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:48,980
You lied to me.

605
00:34:49,699 --> 00:34:52,889
You told me I'd get the money and you're
keeping it for yourself.

606
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:58,080
But all I get is rules to follow and
lines to stand in and places to go.

607
00:34:59,740 --> 00:35:02,860
But, Katie, this is all being done to
help you. Help me.

608
00:35:03,240 --> 00:35:07,220
Give me money. Just give me money. You
want to help me if you ain't a liar?

609
00:35:17,831 --> 00:35:23,079
What are you going to do with it? None
of your damn business.

610
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,160
I do what I want.

611
00:35:24,740 --> 00:35:27,160
This is healthy. Can't do what I want.

612
00:35:27,540 --> 00:35:29,580
And I've got anybody's message for me.

613
00:35:30,140 --> 00:35:31,190
Soup kitchens.

614
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,620
Oh, you're not telling me where to go.
Katie helps herself.

615
00:35:36,260 --> 00:35:38,640
Nobody helps Katie. Katie helps Katie.

616
00:35:45,581 --> 00:35:48,739
I'll take this over to Miss Oliver.

617
00:35:48,740 --> 00:35:49,790
Put it over there.

618
00:35:54,100 --> 00:35:55,150
Corinne?

619
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:56,330
You wanted to see me?

620
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:02,999
Yeah. I just stopped down in the wake of
your outburst to tell you that Garth

621
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,639
Turtletaub telephoned me. He and his
wife sat down alone after the meeting,

622
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,950
they're willing to set aside the custody
issue for the time being.

623
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:11,290
That's good.

624
00:36:11,291 --> 00:36:15,519
Assuming cooperation from your end, I'd
like to reconvene in the next couple of

625
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,559
days, see if we can't hammer out the
agreement.

626
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:18,610
Fine.

627
00:36:18,740 --> 00:36:19,790
As, uh...

628
00:36:19,980 --> 00:36:26,659
A personal aside, I'd have to say that
you managed to interject a refreshing

629
00:36:26,660 --> 00:36:28,120
dose of... Naivete?

630
00:36:29,740 --> 00:36:32,220
No, of morality to the proceedings.

631
00:36:33,660 --> 00:36:34,710
Thank you.

632
00:36:35,060 --> 00:36:37,140
Given time, you'll probably get over it.

633
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:42,440
The woman of the hour.

634
00:36:43,300 --> 00:36:44,350
Hi, Stuart.

635
00:36:44,420 --> 00:36:45,470
Congratulations.

636
00:36:45,471 --> 00:36:48,999
Thanks. Plus, I hear you made so much
rain for this firm, we're all going to

637
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,080
have to wear galoshes.

638
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,860
Speaking of which, Leland waived my buy
-in.

639
00:36:53,580 --> 00:36:55,690
I'm going to be able to pay you back in
full.

640
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,560
Well, try not to get too excited.

641
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:58,730
I wish I could.

642
00:36:59,140 --> 00:37:00,190
Are you kidding?

643
00:37:00,260 --> 00:37:03,840
You just shook, what, $8 million a year
from that trust? You're a hero.

644
00:37:04,220 --> 00:37:06,870
That's what I thought, until I went to
tell my client.

645
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:08,920
She practically spit in my eye.

646
00:37:09,900 --> 00:37:12,680
She doesn't want clinics or hot meals.

647
00:37:13,370 --> 00:37:14,450
Or clean beds.

648
00:37:14,830 --> 00:37:16,690
She was. We did the Beverly Hills Hotel.

649
00:37:17,450 --> 00:37:18,530
She wants the cash.

650
00:37:18,930 --> 00:37:21,170
She wants to be left the hell alone.

651
00:37:21,171 --> 00:37:25,529
Which effectively means that not one
nickel of that trust is going to get to

652
00:37:25,530 --> 00:37:26,910
or to the thousands like her.

653
00:37:26,911 --> 00:37:28,709
And you think this is your fault?

654
00:37:28,710 --> 00:37:30,090
Society has abandoned them.

655
00:37:30,310 --> 00:37:32,900
No, it sounds to me like they've
abandoned society.

656
00:37:33,110 --> 00:37:34,450
Okay, it's their fault.

657
00:37:34,910 --> 00:37:36,050
But what's the answer?

658
00:37:36,051 --> 00:37:38,459
Are we supposed to just pretend they
don't exist?

659
00:37:38,460 --> 00:37:42,039
Roll up the windows, jack up the car
radio, and try not to think about the

660
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,439
homeless subculture living out of their
shopping carts because the richest

661
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,519
society in the world can't figure out a
way to take care of them.

662
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,540
And money can't solve every problem.

663
00:37:50,541 --> 00:37:54,099
And I'll tell you something else. Every
problem can't be solved.

664
00:37:54,100 --> 00:37:58,359
But at least now there's $8 million a
year, compliments of Aunt Kelsey, that's

665
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,359
going to help feed and clothe and
shelter an awful lot of people who

666
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,370
wouldn't have had anything. I think
that's pretty terrific.

667
00:38:04,580 --> 00:38:06,020
I'll tell you something else.

668
00:38:06,100 --> 00:38:07,660
I think you're pretty terrific.

669
00:38:09,390 --> 00:38:10,440
Do you say so?

670
00:38:10,790 --> 00:38:11,970
Yeah, I say so.

671
00:38:13,270 --> 00:38:14,770
And I also say you owe me dinner.

672
00:38:15,350 --> 00:38:18,300
You got it. All right, les anges, I'll
make the reservation.

673
00:38:18,301 --> 00:38:20,029
Isn't that pretty expensive?

674
00:38:20,030 --> 00:38:22,630
Ann, you just got an $87 ,000 bonus.

675
00:38:22,631 --> 00:38:24,129
You worried about dinner?

676
00:38:24,130 --> 00:38:28,870
Money. Either I feel guilty for having
it, or I feel cheated for not having it.

677
00:38:29,170 --> 00:38:30,220
Okay, I give up.

678
00:38:30,670 --> 00:38:31,720
I'll tell you what.

679
00:38:32,010 --> 00:38:33,210
I'll cook dinner at home.

680
00:38:34,570 --> 00:38:36,860
I'll whip up a really dry tuna fish
casserole.

681
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,990
And then we'll crack a bottle of really
cheap jug wine.

682
00:38:41,860 --> 00:38:42,910
In bed?

683
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:44,210
Yeah.

684
00:38:44,420 --> 00:38:45,470
Sounds great.

685
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:46,760
Eight o 'clock, be there.

686
00:38:46,860 --> 00:38:48,000
And bring your jammies.

687
00:38:53,460 --> 00:38:58,400
Come in.

688
00:39:08,300 --> 00:39:13,380
Lunatic. Oh, your timing is perfect. I
have been aching to speak to you. No,

689
00:39:13,460 --> 00:39:18,759
don't say a word. For the first time in
my life, I am really free of all the

690
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,080
things I was supposed to be.

691
00:39:20,380 --> 00:39:24,200
A good girl, a good wife, a good judge.

692
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,920
And I'm finally free of Kevin.

693
00:39:28,180 --> 00:39:29,230
Finally.

694
00:39:29,460 --> 00:39:35,199
I was carried around this guilt in my
gut, and it was poisoning my passion for

695
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:36,250
you.

696
00:39:38,190 --> 00:39:42,489
I don't feel like he's this poor,
helpless creature. I'm mortally wounded,

697
00:39:42,490 --> 00:39:45,250
know I'm babbling, but damn it, it feels
so good.

698
00:39:45,610 --> 00:39:48,570
And you have been so patient.

699
00:39:49,850 --> 00:39:53,090
But I am so turned on right now.

700
00:39:53,091 --> 00:39:57,549
So why don't you take this suit off,
mister, and we're going to do something

701
00:39:57,550 --> 00:40:01,160
right here in my office that we could
get arrested for in any other state.

702
00:40:06,510 --> 00:40:07,560
I love you too.

703
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:17,249
Security, this is Abigail Perkins at
Mackenzie Brackman Chaney Cusack. I

704
00:41:17,250 --> 00:41:18,450
we have a burglar up here.

705
00:41:53,821 --> 00:41:55,249
What the

706
00:41:55,250 --> 00:42:10,469
hell

707
00:42:10,470 --> 00:42:17,289
was you? You pushed my face into the
carpet. You wouldn't see me. Hey, hey,

708
00:42:17,290 --> 00:42:18,630
hey, shut up.

709
00:42:20,590 --> 00:42:21,970
What were you doing up here?

710
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:24,400
I've got a key, okay?

711
00:42:24,860 --> 00:42:25,940
I used to work here.

712
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,510
I left some paperwork behind and I came
to get it. He worked here?

713
00:42:29,780 --> 00:42:30,920
Up until a few weeks ago.

714
00:42:31,240 --> 00:42:33,740
You guys are in for it now. My
attorney's here.

715
00:42:33,741 --> 00:42:36,759
All right, what's going on here? We got
a call. These guys made a drug pot.

716
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,080
They're not even real cops.

717
00:42:38,081 --> 00:42:41,379
Now they say the old guy sucked it up
with a vacuum sweeper. I just checked

718
00:42:41,380 --> 00:42:43,519
conference room. If he had a stash in
there, it's gone now.

719
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,560
Well, what about the baggie, huh? What
about it? It's empty.

720
00:42:46,561 --> 00:42:50,079
It's soaked with carpet goo and it's got
your crummy fingerprints all over it. I

721
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,249
don't know anything about this, Mr.
Cifuentes.

722
00:42:52,250 --> 00:42:54,889
I was just up here looking for some
paperwork I left behind and these goons

723
00:42:54,890 --> 00:42:57,529
jumped me. I'm going to sue you guys for
about a million bucks a piece. Does

724
00:42:57,530 --> 00:42:58,710
this guy ever shut up?

725
00:42:59,550 --> 00:43:02,140
Hey, aren't you going to arrest him,
huh? For what?

726
00:43:02,141 --> 00:43:05,449
Stupidity? If that were a crime, you
guys would be doing life.

727
00:43:05,450 --> 00:43:06,500
Hey!

728
00:43:09,710 --> 00:43:11,030
He's all yours, Counselor.

729
00:43:12,830 --> 00:43:13,880
Hey, hey, hey.

730
00:43:17,650 --> 00:43:20,230
Thank you.

731
00:43:20,470 --> 00:43:21,730
Do you believe this?

732
00:43:22,140 --> 00:43:23,460
I'm going to file a lawsuit.

733
00:43:24,420 --> 00:43:26,280
Assault, illegal search and seizure.

734
00:43:26,780 --> 00:43:28,160
Go home, Jeffrey.

735
00:43:29,860 --> 00:43:33,720
Wait, you don't really believe all this,
do you, Mr. DeFoy?

736
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:38,379
I swear, after all I've been through...

737
00:43:38,380 --> 00:43:45,119
Those drugs probably belong to the old

738
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:46,170
black guy.

739
00:43:48,420 --> 00:43:50,360
Go home, Jeffrey, now.

740
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,970
Before your luck runs out and I throw
you through a window.

741
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:55,050
You got that?

742
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:58,490
Absolutely.

743
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:03,690
Loud and clear.

744
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:13,380
And then I lock the doors and I'm
running my hands all over his ape suit,

745
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:18,000
telling him how hot I am and all the
things I'm going to do to him.

746
00:44:19,210 --> 00:44:20,810
I almost raped the poor guy.

747
00:44:22,030 --> 00:44:25,030
So next time, send me flowers like my
other boyfriend did.

748
00:44:26,130 --> 00:44:32,609
Do you sort of coax your eyebrows up
like that, or do they grow that way by

749
00:44:32,610 --> 00:44:33,660
themselves?

750
00:44:35,070 --> 00:44:36,570
I have them styled.

751
00:44:37,230 --> 00:44:38,280
Styled?

752
00:44:38,950 --> 00:44:40,000
Really?

753
00:44:40,850 --> 00:44:47,810
Look, Mickey, I know I've been difficult
these last couple of weeks, and...

754
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:53,260
You have been incredibly sensitive and
patient.

755
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,240
Well, I'm a very evolved person.

756
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:56,970
Not that evolved.

757
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:04,699
The point being is that I am finally and
totally

758
00:45:04,700 --> 00:45:07,160
unconflicted.

759
00:45:08,300 --> 00:45:10,280
I don't feel guilty about Kevin anymore.

760
00:45:10,460 --> 00:45:13,050
I'm actually relieved about not running
for judge.

761
00:45:13,380 --> 00:45:15,700
Oh, so am I.

762
00:45:16,460 --> 00:45:19,530
Really? Well, you never would have gone
out in public with me.

763
00:45:20,660 --> 00:45:27,179
What I'm trying to say here is that now
that we have, I'm

764
00:45:27,180 --> 00:45:31,220
experiencing a very pressing need to be
private with you.

765
00:45:32,460 --> 00:45:33,510
Pressing where?

766
00:45:34,980 --> 00:45:36,030
All over.

767
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:40,730
Extremely hot, Lee.

768
00:45:41,140 --> 00:45:45,600
Um, could you put both the dinners...

769
00:45:46,110 --> 00:45:50,910
Plus the champagne into a doggie bag and
bring us the check right away.

770
00:45:52,470 --> 00:45:54,970
Extremely hot date.

771
00:45:56,890 --> 00:45:58,110
Thank you, Mickey.
