1
00:00:03,250 --> 00:00:04,510
Previously on L .A. Law.

2
00:00:04,511 --> 00:00:07,709
It's just the thought of trying the case
by myself is kind of scary. Well, the

3
00:00:07,710 --> 00:00:10,509
first time always is, but two days from
now, you will be much more confident,

4
00:00:10,510 --> 00:00:12,070
not to mention more marketable.

5
00:00:12,210 --> 00:00:13,350
What are we doing here?

6
00:00:13,770 --> 00:00:17,150
I tried to play it out, Judge. I even
offered to continue it without a

7
00:00:17,370 --> 00:00:22,289
I found your irresponsible rejection of
a city attorney's offer to be shamefully

8
00:00:22,290 --> 00:00:27,249
unprofessional. I lost my first case,
too. Oh, and you just love rubbing my

9
00:00:27,250 --> 00:00:28,089
in it, don't you?

10
00:00:28,090 --> 00:00:28,869
Not really.

11
00:00:28,870 --> 00:00:30,189
Then why did you come down here?

12
00:00:30,190 --> 00:00:31,630
To ask you out on a date.

13
00:00:32,110 --> 00:00:33,160
A date?

14
00:00:33,190 --> 00:00:34,870
What's with you? What's with you?

15
00:00:34,871 --> 00:00:38,489
You do everything you can to embarrass
me in court, and then you come marching

16
00:00:38,490 --> 00:00:41,200
in here... I just tried my case. You
embarrassed yourself.

17
00:00:41,970 --> 00:00:44,920
I don't know what the hell I was
thinking when I came in here.

18
00:00:44,921 --> 00:00:48,969
Your Honor, I would ask for a new trial
on the grounds of AIDS stress syndrome.

19
00:00:48,970 --> 00:00:51,740
I just learned of the AIDS syndrome
defense yesterday.

20
00:00:51,950 --> 00:00:55,489
Ms. Van Owen told me about it. I did
what I thought was in the interest of

21
00:00:55,490 --> 00:00:59,249
justice. Well, the official response
from this office is that you screwed up.

22
00:00:59,250 --> 00:01:00,450
Don't do it again, Chris.

23
00:01:01,420 --> 00:01:04,850
By the way, you've been reassigned to
night court. You start tonight.

24
00:01:04,851 --> 00:01:09,079
Look, it's Friday night. I can't believe
the judge will keep us late.

25
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,219
I'd like to make it perfectly clear that
we are going to clear this calendar in

26
00:01:13,220 --> 00:01:16,440
its entirety before anybody gets out of
here.

27
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:21,100
The good news is I threatened to quit
unless they let me out of night court.

28
00:01:21,860 --> 00:01:26,119
The bad news is they took me seriously,
which means I'm still gainfully

29
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,170
employed.

30
00:01:27,260 --> 00:01:28,520
You're back in day court?

31
00:01:28,620 --> 00:01:30,080
Downtown felony trials.

32
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:31,810
Starting Monday.

33
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:32,980
That's great. Yeah.

34
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,000
Oh, Gracie, I missed you.

35
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:43,970
Morning,

36
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,760
Floyd. Welcome back, Miss Vanna.

37
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,680
It's nice to be back.

38
00:01:58,540 --> 00:01:59,590
Gracie, come on in.

39
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:01,140
You want to see me, Bruce?

40
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,740
Welcome back to decor, Gracie.

41
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,010
Thanks, Richard.

42
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,540
We were just talking about you.

43
00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:10,199
I want you to take off one of Dick's
cases.

44
00:02:11,020 --> 00:02:12,070
Fine.

45
00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:14,720
Armed robbery, $100 ,000 theft.

46
00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:16,440
Why can't you do it?

47
00:02:17,940 --> 00:02:19,040
Personal reasons, no.

48
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,160
I've already impaneled the jury, so it's
all set to go.

49
00:02:26,580 --> 00:02:27,780
Am I missing something?

50
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:29,370
Not a thing.

51
00:02:29,470 --> 00:02:33,929
It's a bit unusual what this guy stole,
but we figured if it's up anybody's

52
00:02:33,930 --> 00:02:35,890
alley, it would have to be yours.

53
00:02:35,891 --> 00:02:39,369
Because you're the only lawyer here who
can do it with a straight face.

54
00:02:39,370 --> 00:02:42,550
You see, that's one of the benefits of
having no sense of humor.

55
00:02:44,730 --> 00:02:46,290
What's the matter with you two?

56
00:02:46,570 --> 00:02:49,690
You could be so hilarious about a $100
,000 theft.

57
00:02:51,270 --> 00:02:52,320
Bull semen.

58
00:02:53,030 --> 00:02:55,790
Oh, yeah, the guy knocked over a sperm
bank.

59
00:02:56,010 --> 00:02:57,110
Fifteen grand a pint.

60
00:02:57,650 --> 00:02:58,830
Go get him, Gracie.

61
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:00,880
Bullseye?

62
00:05:12,140 --> 00:05:13,380
Rona versus Gradinger.

63
00:05:14,420 --> 00:05:15,470
Settling.

64
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:16,730
Richardson estate.

65
00:05:16,731 --> 00:05:19,599
Yeah, we're getting some movement on
that, actually. I think the widow is

66
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,650
inclined to settle.

67
00:05:20,940 --> 00:05:22,940
Bonora versus Cromwell aircraft.

68
00:05:22,941 --> 00:05:24,339
Status quo.

69
00:05:24,340 --> 00:05:25,390
A new matter.

70
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,060
Glasband versus Glasband.

71
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,210
A referral from Harley Hunt. My client's
husband did Harley's last facelift.

72
00:05:32,380 --> 00:05:35,920
Which brings us to Brophy versus Valley
Distributors, Inc.

73
00:05:36,140 --> 00:05:37,760
Yeah, the trial starts tomorrow.

74
00:05:37,761 --> 00:05:40,189
Family's coming in this morning for
final prep.

75
00:05:40,190 --> 00:05:42,230
Have there been any last -minute offers?

76
00:05:42,990 --> 00:05:46,480
$75 ,000 on the wrongful death claim for
the little boy. You declined?

77
00:05:47,850 --> 00:05:51,630
I told him it would take $200 ,000 to
settle it out of court.

78
00:05:51,631 --> 00:05:55,829
Why is it you lose an eye, you get a
million -dollar verdict, you lose your

79
00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:57,789
life, and it's only worth a fraction of
that?

80
00:05:57,790 --> 00:06:02,229
This lawyer I know advises his clients,
if you run somebody over, back up and

81
00:06:02,230 --> 00:06:03,280
finish off the job.

82
00:06:03,730 --> 00:06:06,260
Compared to maiming, wrongful death's a
bargain.

83
00:06:06,261 --> 00:06:09,789
What about the emotional distress claim
for the boy's sister?

84
00:06:09,790 --> 00:06:12,020
Well, they offer 10 ,000. I'm looking
for 100.

85
00:06:12,050 --> 00:06:15,900
So you get almost as much for witnessing
a death as you do for the death itself.

86
00:06:15,901 --> 00:06:18,249
Well, her kid brother died right before
her eyes.

87
00:06:18,250 --> 00:06:20,309
She has to live with that for the rest
of her life.

88
00:06:20,310 --> 00:06:22,409
And they think the tax code doesn't make
sense.

89
00:06:22,410 --> 00:06:25,309
If you don't mind, people, as we appear
to be finished with the business at

90
00:06:25,310 --> 00:06:27,150
hand, I suggest we adjourn.

91
00:06:34,790 --> 00:06:37,830
Do you have any plans for tonight?

92
00:06:38,460 --> 00:06:41,410
I've got a date. Come on. I've got to go
to my cousin's wedding.

93
00:06:42,100 --> 00:06:43,240
Oh, I'm sorry.

94
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,230
It's okay. I'll figure something else
out.

95
00:06:53,620 --> 00:06:55,540
I just want this over with.

96
00:06:57,020 --> 00:06:59,160
I'll sign anything he wants.

97
00:06:59,500 --> 00:07:02,860
I just desperately need to get away
somewhere.

98
00:07:03,420 --> 00:07:07,060
Mrs. Glassman, your husband is a big
-time plastic surgeon.

99
00:07:07,061 --> 00:07:10,779
He's got to be making close to a million
a year. This proposed agreement shows

100
00:07:10,780 --> 00:07:14,920
35 ,000 in the bank. It doesn't pass the
smell test. Look, he's a decent man.

101
00:07:15,540 --> 00:07:17,300
He would never cheat me, please.

102
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,059
I don't have the strength to make a
fight out of this. Which is why you hire

103
00:07:22,060 --> 00:07:27,859
lawyer who does. And my suggestion,
professionally as well as personally, we

104
00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:29,360
sniff his tracks for a few days.

105
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,110
Just if for no other reason, to confirm
his decency. You don't understand.

106
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,400
This divorce is all my fault.

107
00:07:37,010 --> 00:07:38,060
My failure.

108
00:07:38,710 --> 00:07:41,710
My psychiatrist says I need to get it
behind me.

109
00:07:41,711 --> 00:07:45,809
I don't want to tread on your doctor's
territory, but my experience, in the

110
00:07:45,810 --> 00:07:48,949
run, you'll feel better if you don't run
away from your problem. I can't stand

111
00:07:48,950 --> 00:07:50,330
another night in that house.

112
00:07:50,570 --> 00:07:54,180
I hear noises and I'm scared. You're
alone for the first time in your life.

113
00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:57,820
It's perfectly natural to feel
frightened. You don't know how I feel.

114
00:07:58,690 --> 00:08:00,370
Carolyn, may I call you Carolyn?

115
00:08:01,950 --> 00:08:04,910
Let me just check some things out so at
least...

116
00:08:05,290 --> 00:08:08,000
We're confident that our decision is an
informed one.

117
00:08:08,650 --> 00:08:09,970
I don't know.

118
00:08:10,530 --> 00:08:13,660
Can you just humor an overprotective
attorney for a few days?

119
00:08:15,830 --> 00:08:16,880
I'm sorry.

120
00:08:17,190 --> 00:08:23,849
I know that I'm not making much sense,
but it's just... I'm afraid to stay home

121
00:08:23,850 --> 00:08:24,900
alone.

122
00:08:25,130 --> 00:08:26,510
I'm afraid to go out.

123
00:08:27,270 --> 00:08:31,230
I'm a mess, and I... I know that you're
vulnerable.

124
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,130
I just don't want you victimized by one
short period of insecurity.

125
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,919
Now, I've asked for a meeting for
Friday.

126
00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:41,860
Can you give me just till then to review
all this?

127
00:08:44,660 --> 00:08:45,710
Okay.

128
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,010
Good.

129
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,720
Rox, let's confirm the glass band
meeting for Friday.

130
00:08:59,260 --> 00:09:01,670
Is 11 o 'clock all right with you, Mrs.
Glassman?

131
00:09:02,540 --> 00:09:03,590
Bye -bye.

132
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,830
And whenever you're in that courtroom, I
want you sitting side by side.

133
00:09:10,260 --> 00:09:13,450
You'll take each other's hand from time
to time to lend support.

134
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,559
Every time the jury shoots a glance at
you, I want them to see a close, loving

135
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:18,610
family.

136
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,180
The kids have to be there all the time?

137
00:09:21,220 --> 00:09:25,379
Yes. They remind the jury that it wasn't
just your son who was killed in that

138
00:09:25,380 --> 00:09:27,550
accident. It was also their little
brother.

139
00:09:27,551 --> 00:09:31,379
I don't mean to sound cynical, and I
wouldn't be stressing this if we didn't

140
00:09:31,380 --> 00:09:33,560
have to be our best in court tomorrow.

141
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:40,899
Now, when I introduce the pictures of
the accident and of Anthony, I don't

142
00:09:40,900 --> 00:09:42,240
anybody looking at them.

143
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,199
You look straight down. They're too
painful to view. I've seen them a

144
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:47,280
times, Mr. Cifuentes.

145
00:09:47,580 --> 00:09:51,040
I think we can take it. I don't want the
jury to see that you can take it.

146
00:09:51,041 --> 00:09:54,679
These shots will make them squeamish.
The last thing I want is you people

147
00:09:54,680 --> 00:09:55,730
looking stoic.

148
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,030
When they look at you, I want them to
see hurt.

149
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,470
Which brings me to your testimony,
Patty.

150
00:10:01,471 --> 00:10:05,719
Now, in your deposition, you were the
brave little soldier with a lot of one

151
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,780
-word answers, but tomorrow, you've got
to let it come out.

152
00:10:09,020 --> 00:10:14,199
I want you to take your time and
describe everything you saw, everything

153
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,540
felt, okay?

154
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,360
As much detail as possible.

155
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,040
Is this really necessary?

156
00:10:20,041 --> 00:10:25,769
Well, the emotional distress claim won't
be worth much unless she gets up there

157
00:10:25,770 --> 00:10:27,630
on the stand and describes the horror.

158
00:10:31,650 --> 00:10:36,329
You've got to tell them how he suffered,
how you saw him suffer, and what it did

159
00:10:36,330 --> 00:10:37,129
to you.

160
00:10:37,130 --> 00:10:39,849
You've got to make that jury feel like
they were right there in the car with

161
00:10:39,850 --> 00:10:41,410
you. Do you think you can do that?

162
00:10:42,330 --> 00:10:43,380
I don't know.

163
00:10:44,150 --> 00:10:45,200
You've got to try.

164
00:10:45,270 --> 00:10:46,320
Mr. Cifuentes.

165
00:10:49,590 --> 00:10:50,640
I know this is hard.

166
00:10:51,660 --> 00:10:52,710
Believe me, I do.

167
00:10:52,711 --> 00:10:57,319
But what you've got to keep remembering
is that they won't compensate you for

168
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:02,479
pain they can't see. If we don't reenact
that horror and unearth some of that

169
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,060
grief... Nothing is going to compensate
us for the loss of our little boy.

170
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,060
I know that, ma 'am.

171
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,200
But you've come this far.

172
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:13,530
We'll be okay.

173
00:11:14,380 --> 00:11:17,180
Can you excuse us for a second?

174
00:11:18,020 --> 00:11:19,070
Certainly.

175
00:11:28,831 --> 00:11:33,559
I'll take her back to my office and go
over the testimony.

176
00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:34,619
No, I don't want you to.

177
00:11:34,620 --> 00:11:37,139
Victor, she's going to be a mess on that
stand tomorrow. Which is exactly the

178
00:11:37,140 --> 00:11:41,000
way we want her. I need her pain
spilling out on everyone in that

179
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,090
The bigger the mess, the bigger the
judgment.

180
00:11:44,091 --> 00:11:51,579
Now, Professor Lahamadou, could you
please describe for the court the manner

181
00:11:51,580 --> 00:11:53,560
which the sperm samples are collected?

182
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,200
Well, the first of the two methods is
electroejaculation.

183
00:11:58,820 --> 00:12:03,279
However... That's rather an aversive
experience for the animal, and the far

184
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,179
common technique is to... Objection to
the question, Your Honor, and I renew my

185
00:12:07,180 --> 00:12:10,910
objection as to the admissibility of
Professor Lahamudu's testimony in

186
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,520
What's at issue here is whether my
client stole it and how much it was

187
00:12:14,860 --> 00:12:19,020
The manner in which the bull expresses
himself is of no relevance whatsoever.

188
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,170
Tell that to the bull.

189
00:12:21,171 --> 00:12:25,059
Your Honor, it's imperative that the
jury understand the intricate process

190
00:12:25,060 --> 00:12:28,520
involved here. Come on. We all know how
it works.

191
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,360
It's not that simple, Judge.

192
00:12:31,620 --> 00:12:35,820
They don't just send the bull behind a
hayloft with a magazine and a baggie.

193
00:12:36,180 --> 00:12:37,280
Miss Van Owen.

194
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:41,499
It is a protracted and expensive
process, Your Honor. One which the dairy

195
00:12:41,500 --> 00:12:43,060
industry takes very seriously.

196
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,660
Look, I'll let him briefly describe it,
but keep it short.

197
00:12:46,940 --> 00:12:48,020
Thank you, Your Honor.

198
00:12:48,021 --> 00:12:49,739
Please continue, Professor.

199
00:12:49,740 --> 00:12:55,109
Certainly. The bull is led from the pen
into a collection area. If he's an

200
00:12:55,110 --> 00:12:59,609
experienced animal, he knows what's
coming, so he's already in a state of

201
00:12:59,610 --> 00:13:02,170
excitation. What happens next?

202
00:13:02,430 --> 00:13:05,570
By this time, the technician has
tethered a stimulus.

203
00:13:05,950 --> 00:13:12,189
I should add that most of the time a
male stimulus is used to prevent

204
00:13:12,190 --> 00:13:16,250
intromission. You mean the bull will
engage with another male?

205
00:13:16,510 --> 00:13:18,850
A sexually naive animal, no.

206
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,860
but a mature bull will mount almost
anything.

207
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:23,880
Miss Van Owen.

208
00:13:24,460 --> 00:13:26,200
We're almost finished, Your Honor.

209
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:33,579
After the bull mounts, the animal
technician takes hold of his... Can I

210
00:13:33,580 --> 00:13:36,000
say the P word? Just continue.

211
00:13:36,860 --> 00:13:41,759
He takes hold of the member and inserts
it into an artificial...

212
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,200
Can I say the V word?

213
00:13:45,460 --> 00:13:48,480
Counsel, in my chambers, right now.

214
00:14:08,780 --> 00:14:10,040
Why don't you call Peter?

215
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,130
I tried him.

216
00:14:11,260 --> 00:14:13,060
Can you believe he has a girlfriend?

217
00:14:13,300 --> 00:14:16,040
To tell you the truth, my feelings are a
little hurt.

218
00:14:16,380 --> 00:14:17,480
You can't blame him.

219
00:14:17,481 --> 00:14:20,159
You didn't give him much encouragement.

220
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,939
Since when do men need encouragement?

221
00:14:21,940 --> 00:14:23,860
Whatever happened to ardent pursuit?

222
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,210
You could go by yourself, you know. Oh,
to my cousin's wedding?

223
00:14:29,211 --> 00:14:32,579
Do you have any idea how many of my
aunts and uncles are going to be there?

224
00:14:32,580 --> 00:14:36,379
They're all going to be whispering about
my divorce, feeling sorry for me, and

225
00:14:36,380 --> 00:14:37,480
trying to fix me up.

226
00:14:37,780 --> 00:14:38,830
Yeah.

227
00:14:38,831 --> 00:14:40,699
How'd you do?

228
00:14:40,700 --> 00:14:41,750
No luck.

229
00:14:41,751 --> 00:14:44,559
You didn't tell these people my whole
life story, did you?

230
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,239
No, I just said, you know, you were a
colleague of mine. You were in a tight

231
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:48,290
spot.

232
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,080
Not one nibble? Uh -uh.

233
00:14:51,380 --> 00:14:52,460
And I asked everybody.

234
00:14:52,461 --> 00:14:57,259
Mike Rudenberg's got Laker tickets that
night. But maybe he'd like to meet you,

235
00:14:57,260 --> 00:14:58,419
you know, like later in life.

236
00:14:58,420 --> 00:15:00,839
And Marty Shriver just got married. You
believe that?

237
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:01,890
Unbelievable.

238
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,240
And Danny Glovis thanked me profusely,
but he's taken a vow of chastity. Oh,

239
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,330
don't ask.

240
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:09,480
What are you telling these people?

241
00:15:09,481 --> 00:15:12,139
I don't want to go to bed with them. I
just want someone to take me to a

242
00:15:12,140 --> 00:15:13,700
wedding. That's all I said.

243
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,090
Oh, I give up.

244
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,390
It's all over for me anyway. I'm 26
years old. I'm terminally divorced.

245
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:32,099
On June 20th, 1983, Patricia Brophy got
in her car to drive her 11 -year -old

246
00:15:32,100 --> 00:15:34,020
brother Anthony to baseball practice.

247
00:15:35,780 --> 00:15:36,980
But they never got there.

248
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,759
A truck driver who had dozed off at the
wheel ran through a red light and

249
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:46,579
smashed his six -ton vehicle into
Patty's car, knocking it through a fence

250
00:15:46,580 --> 00:15:47,840
the other side of the road.

251
00:15:49,780 --> 00:15:56,179
When the police and firemen arrived,
they had to use the jaws of life to pull

252
00:15:56,180 --> 00:15:58,950
Patty free of the wreckage and rush her
to the hospital.

253
00:16:00,300 --> 00:16:02,220
But her little brother was not as lucky.

254
00:16:03,380 --> 00:16:06,440
Anthony Brophy's life ended in that car
crash.

255
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,420
while his family's nightmare was just
beginning.

256
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:14,160
Well, those are the facts in this case.

257
00:16:15,340 --> 00:16:20,420
And except for one small area of
disagreement, they're indisputable.

258
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:27,859
The only issue is how we, all of us
good, compassionate people, assess a

259
00:16:27,860 --> 00:16:30,780
value on the loss of a child's life.

260
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,950
I know to many of you the very idea of
this sounds offensive.

261
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:42,319
It cheapens life to say that the loss of
an 11 -year -old boy is worth a quarter

262
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,079
of a million dollars or half a million
dollars or even a hundred million

263
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,130
dollars.

264
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:52,959
The life of Anthony Brophy and the loss
that this family has suffered

265
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,920
cannot be measured monetarily.

266
00:16:58,420 --> 00:17:05,059
But, sadly, money is the only source of
redress available

267
00:17:05,060 --> 00:17:06,700
to this family under the law.

268
00:17:08,750 --> 00:17:11,329
Now, the Brophy's have entrusted their
case to me.

269
00:17:13,069 --> 00:17:17,149
But when Mr. Pass and I and all the
other witnesses that you'll be hearing

270
00:17:17,150 --> 00:17:23,969
are through, the hardest work of all
will fall on you as you decide how to

271
00:17:23,970 --> 00:17:28,390
compensate this family for what was so
cruelly taken away from them.

272
00:17:30,390 --> 00:17:32,980
I know that you will live up to that
responsibility.

273
00:17:50,540 --> 00:17:55,440
I show you this vial, Mr. Lavanchi, and
I ask if you can identify it.

274
00:17:56,300 --> 00:17:59,840
It contains the seed of my prized bull,
Champion Black Barney.

275
00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:02,040
I see the initials BB.

276
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,500
Now, by seed, you mean semen.

277
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:06,610
Yes, ma 'am.

278
00:18:06,660 --> 00:18:11,079
Mr. Lavanchi, if you recall, how much of
Champion Black Barney's seed was stored

279
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,919
in the Los Angeles County Veterinary
Center?

280
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,360
50 straws, over 500 cc.

281
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:19,779
And can you state for us the value of
those 50 straws? Objection. He knows the

282
00:18:19,780 --> 00:18:20,619
market value.

283
00:18:20,620 --> 00:18:21,670
He can answer.

284
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:28,819
Barney's sperm, and I apologize for the
graphic language, sold for over $2 ,000

285
00:18:28,820 --> 00:18:29,870
a straw.

286
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,820
That man stole over $100 ,000 from me.

287
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:34,920
Objection. Sustained.

288
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,400
The jury will disregard that last
characterization.

289
00:18:38,401 --> 00:18:45,169
How much more of Barney's sperm do you
currently have in your possession, Mr.

290
00:18:45,170 --> 00:18:46,220
LaVanche?

291
00:18:47,150 --> 00:18:48,790
All of it gone for what you see.

292
00:18:50,110 --> 00:18:52,550
It's the last of my Barney. My champion.

293
00:18:52,830 --> 00:18:53,880
Why is that?

294
00:18:54,690 --> 00:18:57,050
Well, he ran out of gas about 18 months
ago.

295
00:18:57,270 --> 00:18:58,730
Only shoots blanks now.

296
00:18:59,930 --> 00:19:03,490
I'd like to try to start a whole new
herd with a few drops of him I got left.

297
00:19:03,491 --> 00:19:06,329
Don't you have other bulls, Mr.
LaVanche?

298
00:19:06,330 --> 00:19:07,530
Oh, not like him.

299
00:19:08,170 --> 00:19:12,029
A cattle rancher gets a bull like
Champion Black Barney once in a

300
00:19:12,030 --> 00:19:16,549
ever. A good share of my business is
mortgaged to the profits I'd make from

301
00:19:16,550 --> 00:19:17,600
heritage.

302
00:19:17,970 --> 00:19:19,310
Now all that's gone.

303
00:19:20,250 --> 00:19:21,300
No more questions.

304
00:19:24,950 --> 00:19:26,000
No, Cross.

305
00:19:26,870 --> 00:19:28,150
You may step down.

306
00:19:48,601 --> 00:19:55,929
So you're saying, Doctor, that it's
possible for the boy to have survived

307
00:19:55,930 --> 00:19:57,730
few minutes after impact, correct?

308
00:19:57,910 --> 00:19:59,290
That's absolutely correct.

309
00:19:59,890 --> 00:20:00,940
Thank you, Doctor.

310
00:20:00,941 --> 00:20:02,809
Your witness?

311
00:20:02,810 --> 00:20:07,669
Dr. Christie, given the nature of the
crash and the severity of the boy's

312
00:20:07,670 --> 00:20:10,260
injuries, isn't it likely that he died
instantly?

313
00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:14,749
It's likely, but it's not definite. And
it's not probable that he was ever

314
00:20:14,750 --> 00:20:16,310
conscious after impact, is it?

315
00:20:17,350 --> 00:20:18,400
Not probable.

316
00:20:19,470 --> 00:20:20,520
Thank you, sir.

317
00:20:21,050 --> 00:20:23,160
That's all. You can step down, Dr.
Christie.

318
00:20:24,310 --> 00:20:27,510
Your Honor, the plaintiff calls Patricia
Brophy to the stand.

319
00:20:29,090 --> 00:20:30,140
It's okay.

320
00:20:35,130 --> 00:20:40,329
I call your attention, Patty, to the
afternoon of June 20th, 1983, and I ask

321
00:20:40,330 --> 00:20:43,030
what, if anything unusual, occurred on
that date.

322
00:20:43,690 --> 00:20:49,470
I was driving my little brother,
Anthony, to baseball practice, and...

323
00:20:49,471 --> 00:20:50,609
an accident

324
00:20:50,610 --> 00:20:58,729
patty

325
00:20:58,730 --> 00:21:05,189
i want you to take your time now and
tell the jury exactly what happened from

326
00:21:05,190 --> 00:21:11,989
the moment you got in the car i had just
left home i was about a

327
00:21:11,990 --> 00:21:18,709
mile or so from my house and i came to
the intersection of

328
00:21:18,710 --> 00:21:20,660
rod road and Kennedy Drive.

329
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:28,700
And then the light was green, so I
kept... I proceeded.

330
00:21:29,740 --> 00:21:34,560
And then from the left, this truck came
at us.

331
00:21:35,660 --> 00:21:36,780
Straight at us.

332
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:44,519
I hit my brakes, but it came too fast
and it knocked us off the road and into

333
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:45,570
the fence.

334
00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:48,500
Do you remember what happened next?

335
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,380
From my head.

336
00:21:58,340 --> 00:22:04,499
I remember reaching up and touching my
forehead. There was blood coming down

337
00:22:04,500 --> 00:22:05,550
side.

338
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:10,220
And I kept thinking that this really
didn't happen.

339
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:18,140
Then I looked up at Anthony.

340
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,050
He...

341
00:22:24,170 --> 00:22:25,370
What did you see, Patty?

342
00:22:28,930 --> 00:22:32,250
He was looking at me.

343
00:22:38,150 --> 00:22:41,509
One of the pickets from the fence

344
00:22:41,510 --> 00:22:47,430
was sticking through his shoulder.

345
00:22:49,270 --> 00:22:51,230
He tried.

346
00:22:54,060 --> 00:22:55,140
What did he do, Betty?

347
00:22:56,420 --> 00:23:02,680
He tried to reach me. He just looked at
me.

348
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:13,480
He couldn't move his arms, but he was
wiggling his fingers.

349
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,340
Like he was trying to reach me.

350
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,340
Oh, he was so scared.

351
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:40,040
He said... What did he say, Patty?

352
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,740
He said, don't tell Daddy.

353
00:24:20,750 --> 00:24:23,820
Did I get you some coffee or something?
No, I'm fine. Thank you.

354
00:24:25,550 --> 00:24:29,390
Arnie, this is... I appreciate you
taking the time to meet with me, Mr.

355
00:24:29,701 --> 00:24:31,789
Call me Arnie.

356
00:24:31,790 --> 00:24:32,840
Only after hours.

357
00:24:42,450 --> 00:24:44,250
So what can I do for you, Ms. Quintana?

358
00:24:44,910 --> 00:24:47,970
Well, as I explained in my note, I've
recently left the LAPD.

359
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,420
Do you mind if I ask why?

360
00:24:51,860 --> 00:24:55,879
Among my other skills, Mr. Becker, I'm a
licensed pilot, a third -degree black

361
00:24:55,880 --> 00:25:00,580
belt. I can bench press 200 pounds. I've
climbed mountains, raced motorcycles,

362
00:25:00,780 --> 00:25:01,830
and quarter horses.

363
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,579
So let's just say pushing a pencil down
at Parker Center wasn't my idea of life

364
00:25:06,580 --> 00:25:07,630
in the fast lane.

365
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,020
So now you've set up your own P .I.
agency.

366
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,260
And I'm trying to build a select
clientele.

367
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,679
Well, your background is very
interesting, and you certainly look like

368
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:18,730
healthy specimen.

369
00:25:19,169 --> 00:25:23,469
But the truth is I already have several
investigators who are more than adequate

370
00:25:23,470 --> 00:25:24,349
to my needs.

371
00:25:24,350 --> 00:25:27,729
Well, with all due regard to those other
individuals, and I do know and respect

372
00:25:27,730 --> 00:25:29,850
most of them, I'm better.

373
00:25:30,910 --> 00:25:31,960
Really?

374
00:25:32,330 --> 00:25:33,380
Really.

375
00:25:34,330 --> 00:25:35,970
Oh, okay, let me ask you this.

376
00:25:36,510 --> 00:25:37,890
Hypothetically, of course.

377
00:25:37,891 --> 00:25:41,789
Let's say I have a client who's married
to a successful physician.

378
00:25:41,790 --> 00:25:44,260
Leaves her, files for divorce and cries
poverty.

379
00:25:44,261 --> 00:25:47,509
What are you going to do for me between
now and Friday that my other

380
00:25:47,510 --> 00:25:48,650
investigators can't?

381
00:25:48,651 --> 00:25:51,919
Well, judging from the little that
you're telling me, he's either stolen

382
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,959
gambled it away, put it up his nose, or
found another woman, or all of the

383
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,840
above. What kind of doctor?

384
00:25:58,660 --> 00:25:59,710
Plastic surgeon.

385
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:01,800
I guess it's another woman.

386
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:06,939
And since most doctors are too busy and
too cheap for a hotel, office in Century

387
00:26:06,940 --> 00:26:08,100
City? Mm -hmm.

388
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,580
They're probably doing it in his office.

389
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:12,920
I'll get you a videotape.

390
00:26:13,700 --> 00:26:16,950
The people I already have in this case
tell me that's impossible.

391
00:26:16,951 --> 00:26:18,029
Shouldn't be.

392
00:26:18,030 --> 00:26:21,589
Not for somebody with professional
expertise in long -lens video

393
00:26:21,590 --> 00:26:26,050
and a nice working relationship with the
Century City window -washing service.

394
00:26:26,430 --> 00:26:31,089
I don't know. No disrespect intended,
Miss Quintana, but I find it a little

395
00:26:31,090 --> 00:26:32,369
to believe everything you say.

396
00:26:32,370 --> 00:26:33,369
Like what?

397
00:26:33,370 --> 00:26:34,790
Bench press 200 pounds?

398
00:26:34,791 --> 00:26:37,129
It's got to be nearly twice your body
weight.

399
00:26:37,130 --> 00:26:42,030
If I can take you down, will you give me
this divorce case of yours?

400
00:26:43,150 --> 00:26:44,390
What do I get if I win?

401
00:26:47,850 --> 00:26:48,900
Anything you want.

402
00:26:53,050 --> 00:26:59,110
Victor? You might wait for me in the
witness room.

403
00:27:00,290 --> 00:27:07,169
200 for the

404
00:27:07,170 --> 00:27:10,050
boy, 150 for the girl, and let's get the
hell out of here.

405
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:12,680
Come on, Victor.

406
00:27:12,681 --> 00:27:16,429
She's getting a buck and a half for a
scratch, and he lived a few seconds at

407
00:27:16,430 --> 00:27:17,480
most.

408
00:27:19,150 --> 00:27:20,200
It's the best I can do.

409
00:27:20,630 --> 00:27:21,710
I went to the man for it.

410
00:27:23,510 --> 00:27:25,070
All right, let me talk to the man.

411
00:27:25,370 --> 00:27:27,840
I'll tell the judge we want a trail till
tomorrow.

412
00:27:38,190 --> 00:27:44,769
They have just upped their offer to

413
00:27:44,770 --> 00:27:45,820
350.

414
00:27:46,370 --> 00:27:47,470
350 ,000.

415
00:27:48,010 --> 00:27:49,060
Take it.

416
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,500
Settle. What do you think?

417
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:54,980
It's an acceptable offer.

418
00:27:55,360 --> 00:27:56,860
But you think we can do better?

419
00:27:56,861 --> 00:28:01,959
My God, do you think any amount of money
will make things better? What are we

420
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,259
supposed to do with it? Buy a swimming
pool? Go to Europe?

421
00:28:04,260 --> 00:28:06,180
You think I give a damn about the money?

422
00:28:06,181 --> 00:28:10,119
I am pushing this so at least something
good comes out of this mess. You're

423
00:28:10,120 --> 00:28:13,610
pushing this because you're afraid to
put Anthony's death behind us.

424
00:28:13,611 --> 00:28:16,999
I don't think this is the time or the
place... To hell with the trial! Take...

425
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,419
whatever they're offering, and let's get
on with our life. What life?

426
00:28:20,420 --> 00:28:24,879
I lost my son. He was my son, too. If
you hadn't been too damn lazy to drive

427
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,539
yourself, he'd probably still be alive.

428
00:28:26,540 --> 00:28:28,959
You think if I'd been behind the wheel,
it would have been any different?

429
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,540
It was a senseless, meaningless
accident.

430
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,899
And you have taken it out on me with
your coldness, your looks, your

431
00:28:36,900 --> 00:28:41,379
accusations, your silence, like it was
some sort of conspiracy to rob you of

432
00:28:41,380 --> 00:28:44,220
your son. Well, it wasn't. It was an
accident.

433
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,299
And maybe if you could have forgiven
then, this family could have gotten past

434
00:28:49,300 --> 00:28:50,860
it. How can I ever forgive?

435
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,500
Somebody has to pay.

436
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,700
We are all paying.

437
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:56,500
You bastard.

438
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,500
Don't you swear at your father.

439
00:28:58,780 --> 00:29:01,580
Mother, I am 20 years old going on 16.

440
00:29:01,780 --> 00:29:03,200
I don't have a life.

441
00:29:03,740 --> 00:29:05,580
You should have been helping me.

442
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:10,180
And instead you've been punishing me for
something that is not my fault.

443
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,160
Be quiet. Right now. No.

444
00:29:58,250 --> 00:30:01,930
of the stolen merchandise has been
directly connected to my client.

445
00:30:02,150 --> 00:30:06,829
With the exception of the one vial that
was found in an apartment shared by my

446
00:30:06,830 --> 00:30:08,570
client with three other roommates.

447
00:30:09,430 --> 00:30:13,230
None of the stolen samples can be linked
to Mr. Bauer in any way.

448
00:30:13,670 --> 00:30:18,249
And I would respectfully request this
jury to return a verdict, the only

449
00:30:18,250 --> 00:30:19,570
consistent with that fact.

450
00:30:20,550 --> 00:30:21,870
And that's not guilty.

451
00:30:23,890 --> 00:30:24,940
Thank you.

452
00:30:31,370 --> 00:30:36,229
When I was 22 years old, I got called
for jury duty, and I remember being so

453
00:30:36,230 --> 00:30:37,330
excited about it.

454
00:30:37,730 --> 00:30:42,149
I thought maybe it would be a bank
robbery or one of those socialite

455
00:30:42,150 --> 00:30:43,770
even a government scandal.

456
00:30:43,771 --> 00:30:48,049
Turned out to be a grocery clerk who
assaulted a checkout girl with a

457
00:30:48,050 --> 00:30:49,100
cantaloupe.

458
00:30:49,210 --> 00:30:50,590
I felt kind of cheated.

459
00:30:51,670 --> 00:30:53,190
And now I look at you.

460
00:30:54,270 --> 00:30:58,599
I mean, you come down here, you get the
big speech about... Civil duty, your

461
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,779
obligation to uphold the law and serve
your community, and all you get for your

462
00:31:02,780 --> 00:31:04,680
trouble is bull semen.

463
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:10,919
And everybody here, including me, has
given birth to at least one smirk since

464
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,359
this thing began. But believe it or not,
I was glad to see you people laugh from

465
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:16,410
time to time.

466
00:31:17,380 --> 00:31:22,559
It was Mark Twain who said, show me a
person who knows what's funny, and I'll

467
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,480
show you somebody who knows what's not.

468
00:31:24,980 --> 00:31:26,880
And it's funny to think...

469
00:31:27,150 --> 00:31:31,069
that the product of an animal's sexual
expression could be the object of a

470
00:31:31,070 --> 00:31:32,120
criminal trial.

471
00:31:32,130 --> 00:31:36,869
It's probably even funny to think that
people make careers out of freezing

472
00:31:36,870 --> 00:31:39,030
little test tubes of a bull's heritage.

473
00:31:40,050 --> 00:31:44,649
But what's not funny is that the
defendant broke into a building in the

474
00:31:44,650 --> 00:31:49,309
of the night, bound and gagged a night
watchman at gunpoint, and stole property

475
00:31:49,310 --> 00:31:51,210
valued at over $100 ,000.

476
00:31:52,090 --> 00:31:53,370
What's not funny...

477
00:31:54,220 --> 00:31:59,079
is that the defendant deprived Mr.
Levanchi and his family of everything

478
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,520
worked so hard to accomplish.

479
00:32:00,980 --> 00:32:06,339
What's not funny is that a very real
crime was committed here with a very

480
00:32:06,340 --> 00:32:07,390
victim.

481
00:32:07,580 --> 00:32:11,959
You've got an eyewitness who saw the
defendant leave the building. You have a

482
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,550
positive identification from the night
watchman.

483
00:32:14,780 --> 00:32:18,060
A vial of the semen was found in his
house.

484
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,080
Now, I don't expect you...

485
00:32:21,580 --> 00:32:26,479
to ignore your sense of humor, nor do I
expect you to let it hinder your ability

486
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:27,700
to do what's right here.

487
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:35,099
So go ahead and giggle your way to
justice if you are so inclined, just as

488
00:32:35,100 --> 00:32:36,150
as you get there.

489
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:38,650
Thank you.

490
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,560
64 minutes. Excuse me.

491
00:32:50,561 --> 00:32:54,129
A case like this, if they're not back on
the guilty the first hour, it's a hung

492
00:32:54,130 --> 00:32:57,509
jury. Ten bucks says you were so
eloquent that the only thing they're

493
00:32:57,510 --> 00:32:59,130
whether they can get the guy life.

494
00:33:00,130 --> 00:33:02,050
I'll collect after my basketball game.

495
00:33:02,930 --> 00:33:03,980
Victor?

496
00:33:04,770 --> 00:33:08,070
I'm pretty whipped, and I gotta get up
early in the morning.

497
00:33:08,650 --> 00:33:11,240
They'll want to cross -examine Patty,
won't they?

498
00:33:11,350 --> 00:33:12,400
Yeah.

499
00:33:13,770 --> 00:33:15,030
Probably a whole day of it.

500
00:33:16,690 --> 00:33:18,510
So I think I'm gonna head home. No way.

501
00:33:18,830 --> 00:33:19,880
You need this.

502
00:33:20,380 --> 00:33:21,720
Hey, little half -court.

503
00:33:22,340 --> 00:33:24,300
Tripping, gouging, flying elbow.

504
00:33:24,940 --> 00:33:26,540
This will relax you, Victor.

505
00:33:27,860 --> 00:33:29,300
Yeah, you're probably right.

506
00:33:31,260 --> 00:33:32,310
Ladies.

507
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,100
Good night. Good night.

508
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:39,960
Call me if your jury comes in.

509
00:33:40,500 --> 00:33:41,550
Thanks.

510
00:33:47,220 --> 00:33:49,280
I hate to lose.

511
00:33:49,281 --> 00:33:50,709
Who doesn't?

512
00:33:50,710 --> 00:33:51,870
Oh, but this one.

513
00:33:52,790 --> 00:33:55,990
This had to be the silliest trial I've
ever had.

514
00:33:56,970 --> 00:33:58,190
People's Exhibit E.

515
00:33:58,430 --> 00:34:01,970
A full -size photo of Barney in all his
tumescent clothes.

516
00:34:03,650 --> 00:34:05,630
Okay, I'm a city girl.

517
00:34:06,130 --> 00:34:12,229
Are we talking bigger than a bread box?
Well, I'll say that if I were a cow, I

518
00:34:12,230 --> 00:34:14,940
wouldn't be wasting my time hanging
around Salt Lake.

519
00:34:17,301 --> 00:34:20,899
Well, too bad he's out of commission.

520
00:34:20,900 --> 00:34:23,070
I could have asked him out for Friday
night.

521
00:34:24,500 --> 00:34:25,550
What?

522
00:34:25,551 --> 00:34:29,619
Cousin's wedding, your basic suitable
escort trauma. Now, what I don't

523
00:34:29,620 --> 00:34:32,399
understand is that there used to be
single men in this town.

524
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,039
Now, you two got the last two good ones,
and there aren't any left.

525
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,359
Oh, come on. There are plenty of guys
out there. Really? You want to tell me

526
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,220
again what it was like before Stuart?

527
00:34:40,380 --> 00:34:41,980
Oh, God. What if she's right?

528
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,139
That is ridiculous.

529
00:34:44,620 --> 00:34:45,940
I mean, what about Victor?

530
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:47,890
He's, um...

531
00:34:48,610 --> 00:34:49,660
Yes, he is.

532
00:34:51,230 --> 00:34:53,690
I already asked him, and he said no.

533
00:34:53,989 --> 00:34:56,370
He didn't say no. He said he was busy.

534
00:34:56,371 --> 00:34:59,309
Well, what do you say when you don't
want to go out with someone? You say,

535
00:34:59,310 --> 00:35:01,870
busy. Or when I'm busy, I say I'm busy.

536
00:35:02,230 --> 00:35:07,930
You see, a genuine, certified, great
single man just walked into this bar.

537
00:35:08,250 --> 00:35:09,870
No, no, no, no. What are you doing?

538
00:35:10,330 --> 00:35:12,870
I won't be obvious, I promise.

539
00:35:18,330 --> 00:35:19,380
So embarrassing.

540
00:35:19,450 --> 00:35:20,500
Don't be silly.

541
00:35:20,950 --> 00:35:23,180
Now, it's hard to get back into
circulation.

542
00:35:23,310 --> 00:35:24,590
No, you stop.

543
00:35:24,591 --> 00:35:29,369
Abby, I want you to meet an old friend
of mine. Abigail Perkins, meet George

544
00:35:29,370 --> 00:35:30,420
Handelman.

545
00:35:30,810 --> 00:35:31,860
Oh, boy.

546
00:35:32,630 --> 00:35:35,710
What? Um, I've already had the pleasure.

547
00:35:36,910 --> 00:35:41,649
Oh, well, I started to tell George that
you have a wedding to go to. I don't

548
00:35:41,650 --> 00:35:44,000
think he'd be interested. Sure, that'd
be fine.

549
00:35:44,830 --> 00:35:47,270
Hey, Grace, your jury's coming in.

550
00:35:47,630 --> 00:35:51,950
Right. Well, have a good time.

551
00:35:58,090 --> 00:36:00,450
So, how about them Lakers?

552
00:36:02,490 --> 00:36:04,210
Has the jury reached a verdict?

553
00:36:05,590 --> 00:36:09,690
We have. In the matter of the people
versus Leonard Bauer, how say you?

554
00:36:10,570 --> 00:36:14,510
On counts one and two of criminal
complaint number 4276...

555
00:36:14,990 --> 00:36:17,880
We, the jury, find the defendant,
Leonard Bauer, guilty.

556
00:36:18,570 --> 00:36:20,920
Sentencing to take place two weeks from
today.

557
00:36:21,030 --> 00:36:25,590
I once again thank you, members of the
jury, and this court is adjourned.

558
00:36:26,870 --> 00:36:28,570
Good luck, Mr. Levante.

559
00:36:33,410 --> 00:36:34,460
Ms. Van Owen?

560
00:36:34,461 --> 00:36:37,309
Are you pleased with the jury's
decision, Ms. Van Owen?

561
00:36:37,310 --> 00:36:38,370
It's a great victory.

562
00:36:38,371 --> 00:36:41,169
Are the Bolts of America going to sleep
better tonight because of this verdict?

563
00:36:41,170 --> 00:36:44,609
At least their owners will, as well as
all citizens concerned with the

564
00:36:44,610 --> 00:36:48,189
enforcement of justice sure, swift, and
certain in this country. Are you saying

565
00:36:48,190 --> 00:36:50,269
that the students have national
significance?

566
00:36:50,270 --> 00:36:51,450
I'd say it's seminal.

567
00:37:07,259 --> 00:37:08,360
Abby? Good morning.

568
00:37:09,580 --> 00:37:10,630
Where's Patty?

569
00:37:11,300 --> 00:37:12,720
Well, we've talked it over.

570
00:37:13,460 --> 00:37:16,410
If it's still on the table, we'd like to
accept their offer.

571
00:37:16,500 --> 00:37:17,550
Settle the case.

572
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:22,260
I'm sure the offer's still good, but
before I talk to them, are you sure?

573
00:37:23,700 --> 00:37:25,760
We've spent a long night with it.

574
00:37:26,140 --> 00:37:27,280
Yes, we're sure.

575
00:37:28,660 --> 00:37:32,700
Look, folks, I've been thinking a lot
about this, too.

576
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,980
And I hope the way that I've conducted
this case...

577
00:37:35,981 --> 00:37:40,089
isn't forcing you into a decision that
you're going to regret later on.

578
00:37:40,090 --> 00:37:41,140
It won't.

579
00:37:41,370 --> 00:37:45,270
What you forced us to do was to take a
long, hard look at ourselves.

580
00:37:46,490 --> 00:37:51,549
Yesterday, last night, was the first
time since Anthony was killed that we

581
00:37:51,550 --> 00:37:53,050
actually talked to each other.

582
00:37:53,550 --> 00:37:56,830
The truth is, Victor, we owe you more
than you'll ever know.

583
00:37:57,690 --> 00:37:58,740
Morning, people.

584
00:37:59,701 --> 00:38:06,189
Why don't you two go grab a quick cup of
coffee, let me do my thing with the

585
00:38:06,190 --> 00:38:10,050
opposing counsel, and maybe we can all
put this one behind us.

586
00:38:17,010 --> 00:38:19,050
Do I sense here a meeting of minds?

587
00:38:23,930 --> 00:38:24,980
She's here.

588
00:38:26,670 --> 00:38:28,290
Sorry I'm late. I got held up.

589
00:38:29,990 --> 00:38:31,040
How you doing?

590
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,600
Awful. I just want to get this over
with.

591
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:35,960
Why aren't they here?

592
00:38:35,961 --> 00:38:40,019
Push the meeting back half an hour. I
thought you might want to know what I

593
00:38:40,020 --> 00:38:42,599
found out before I spring it on your
husband. What are you talking about?

594
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:43,650
He's buried assets.

595
00:38:43,651 --> 00:38:47,179
He's raped your joint account. No, I
didn't authorize this. You did.

596
00:38:47,180 --> 00:38:50,610
I told you what I was going to do. No,
no, no. I don't want to know about it.

597
00:38:50,611 --> 00:38:55,219
All right, Carolyn. If you want to go
into this meeting and accept the crumbs

598
00:38:55,220 --> 00:38:58,400
off your husband's table, that's totally
your decision, but...

599
00:38:58,401 --> 00:39:02,059
I would be remiss if I didn't advise you
of the fact that he has systematically

600
00:39:02,060 --> 00:39:07,299
and with obvious forethought lied to
you, stolen from you. Stop it. I don't

601
00:39:07,300 --> 00:39:10,320
to hear about it. Cheated on you. Why
are you doing this to me?

602
00:39:10,580 --> 00:39:13,340
I'm not doing it to you, Carolyn. Your
husband is. Fine.

603
00:39:13,660 --> 00:39:18,559
If he wants the money, he can have it. I
just want to have this over with. If it

604
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,790
were only the money, that would be one
thing.

605
00:39:21,260 --> 00:39:23,540
But it's not.

606
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:26,530
What is that?

607
00:39:26,531 --> 00:39:28,859
Your husband is involved with another
woman.

608
00:39:28,860 --> 00:39:30,379
That's where the money's gone, Carolyn.

609
00:39:30,380 --> 00:39:32,979
Building up hidden accounts so he can
dump you and go off with her. You're

610
00:39:32,980 --> 00:39:36,899
lying. You're trying to turn me against
a man who has never done anything to

611
00:39:36,900 --> 00:39:39,550
hurt me. Unfortunately, this videotape
doesn't lie.

612
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:42,090
Then show it to me.

613
00:39:42,240 --> 00:39:44,260
It'll hurt you. I want to see it.

614
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,040
I'd advise against it. Dammit, you work
for me!

615
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:12,240
Oh, my God, no.

616
00:40:20,700 --> 00:40:24,719
Sleazy, disgusting, lying piece of dirty
sweat with my sister. Carolyn, what

617
00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:28,659
have you been telling her? My own
sister. How could you do that to me?

618
00:40:28,660 --> 00:40:31,320
her. Carolyn, sit down.

619
00:40:31,321 --> 00:40:37,419
I don't know what you're talking about.
She's talking about this tape of you and

620
00:40:37,420 --> 00:40:41,459
your lover in your office engaged in an
X -rated game of doctor. Whether he and

621
00:40:41,460 --> 00:40:44,839
the lady formed an emotional attachment
is of no relevance to this proceeding.

622
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,919
If he's capable of deceiving her on this
scale, we believe he'd deceive her

623
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,879
about anything. Please come, you
monster. Look, we came down here to sign

624
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:52,930
agreement.

625
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:54,660
Not this one, sir.

626
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:56,260
This is trash.

627
00:40:56,261 --> 00:41:00,239
Could you do that to me? After the
family weekends that we spent together

628
00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:01,290
Palm Springs?

629
00:41:01,530 --> 00:41:04,730
Oh, for God's sake, Carolyn, what do you
want from me?

630
00:41:04,970 --> 00:41:06,230
I work like a mule.

631
00:41:06,770 --> 00:41:11,529
If I take what little consolation life
has to offer me in the arms of a woman

632
00:41:11,530 --> 00:41:15,009
who isn't afraid of her own shadow, a
woman who isn't afraid to express... I'm

633
00:41:15,010 --> 00:41:16,690
not a woman, my sister!

634
00:41:17,230 --> 00:41:22,310
You must have fun laughing at me. What,
did you do it in our house? In our bed?

635
00:41:22,610 --> 00:41:24,930
How could I, Carolyn? You were never out
of it.

636
00:41:25,170 --> 00:41:26,690
You malignant bastard.

637
00:41:27,250 --> 00:41:28,490
I hate you.

638
00:41:49,319 --> 00:41:50,369
Look,

639
00:41:55,700 --> 00:41:58,650
let me talk to him. I'll make sure he
gets down to the station.

640
00:41:58,900 --> 00:41:59,950
Okay.

641
00:42:00,091 --> 00:42:02,099
How is he?

642
00:42:02,100 --> 00:42:04,240
He'll survive it. Missed the main
artery.

643
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,950
They want you to go to the police
station and make a statement.

644
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,500
I think you better tell me exactly what
happened.

645
00:42:24,921 --> 00:42:28,299
It's my fault that's what happened.

646
00:42:28,300 --> 00:42:29,640
It's all my fault.

647
00:42:29,641 --> 00:42:33,579
You can say that one more time, and then
that's the last time I ever want to

648
00:42:33,580 --> 00:42:35,140
hear that come out of your mouth.

649
00:42:35,141 --> 00:42:38,739
I should have picked it up the minute
she walked in here, Mike. She was a

650
00:42:38,740 --> 00:42:41,000
case. They all are during a divorce.

651
00:42:41,740 --> 00:42:45,050
Oh, this was different. I mean, there
were signs all over the place.

652
00:42:45,860 --> 00:42:49,719
But all... All I could see was the damn
settlement that her husband was trying

653
00:42:49,720 --> 00:42:51,060
to gaslight her into.

654
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,920
Which is why she came to you in the
first place.

655
00:42:57,240 --> 00:43:01,479
The husband is doing the sister, and I
put the damn picture right on the TV set

656
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:02,499
for her.

657
00:43:02,500 --> 00:43:03,550
Porno movies.

658
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,000
Did you force her to watch?

659
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,880
No. No, she wanted to do it.

660
00:43:08,881 --> 00:43:12,729
But I shouldn't have let her. She was
under psychiatrist's care.

661
00:43:12,730 --> 00:43:15,569
How many distraught wives have you
represented in your career?

662
00:43:15,570 --> 00:43:19,250
I know, I know, I know, I know. You
didn't do anything illegal here, Arnie.

663
00:43:19,470 --> 00:43:20,520
Great.

664
00:43:20,521 --> 00:43:24,589
Great, so I don't go to jail for the
next five years, but I still gotta live

665
00:43:24,590 --> 00:43:25,640
with myself.

666
00:43:25,641 --> 00:43:29,929
You can't be responsible for the one
client in hundreds who comes in here and

667
00:43:29,930 --> 00:43:30,980
goes off the deep end.

668
00:43:33,410 --> 00:43:34,460
Here.

669
00:43:34,670 --> 00:43:36,090
Here. Put your coat on.

670
00:43:36,430 --> 00:43:37,870
I'll drive you to the station.

671
00:43:39,431 --> 00:43:45,639
Here's the number of the restaurant
where we'll be after the ceremony.

672
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:49,440
If there's an emergency, his
pediatrician's number is right over the

673
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:50,900
Don't worry, we'll do great.

674
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,260
Okay, honey, let's settle down, okay?

675
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:01,980
Hi. Hi, come on in.

676
00:44:02,700 --> 00:44:04,120
Eric, you know.

677
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:06,970
Who's he?

678
00:44:07,580 --> 00:44:09,480
This is Mr. Handelman. And who are you?

679
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:10,930
I'm He -Man.

680
00:44:10,931 --> 00:44:12,559
Can I get you anything?

681
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:13,339
No, I'm fine.

682
00:44:13,340 --> 00:44:14,900
Thanks again for bailing me out.

683
00:44:14,901 --> 00:44:15,839
My pleasure.

684
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:17,460
Okay, Eric, it's time to go to bed.

685
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,080
No! Eric?

686
00:44:19,720 --> 00:44:20,770
What's that?

687
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:21,970
Where?

688
00:44:22,180 --> 00:44:23,380
Sticking out of your ear.

689
00:44:24,700 --> 00:44:27,470
How could you hear anything? You had a
quarter in there.

690
00:44:27,620 --> 00:44:28,760
Let me see the other one.

691
00:44:30,540 --> 00:44:31,820
How did you do that?

692
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:33,210
It was magic.

693
00:44:33,620 --> 00:44:34,670
Now watch this.

694
00:44:36,871 --> 00:44:42,019
Well, maybe next time, because you've
got to go to bed now.

695
00:44:42,020 --> 00:44:45,520
Okay, honey, come on. Let's say
goodnight to Mr. Handelman. I want more

696
00:44:46,100 --> 00:44:47,150
Come on.

697
00:44:48,111 --> 00:44:50,079
Do you mind?

698
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:51,130
Be my guest.

699
00:44:51,131 --> 00:44:52,239
It's right through there.

700
00:44:52,240 --> 00:44:54,400
You know, I have a son who's almost six.

701
00:44:54,820 --> 00:44:56,320
He's a big fan of G .I. Joe.

702
00:44:57,140 --> 00:44:58,220
Does he live with you?

703
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,700
Well, sometimes with me, and sometimes
with his mom.

704
00:45:02,540 --> 00:45:03,590
Hey, scoot over.

705
00:45:04,500 --> 00:45:08,280
Now, one more trick, and then like that.
Deal?

706
00:45:27,620 --> 00:45:29,480
Hey! Go ahead, take it.

707
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:33,780
Good night, Eric.

708
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:35,370
Good night.

709
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:36,960
Good night, sweetheart.

710
00:45:37,471 --> 00:45:43,739
I'm going to take this dollar bill, and
I'm going to put it on your bookcase.

711
00:45:43,740 --> 00:45:46,560
But don't spend it, because it's a magic
dollar bill.

712
00:45:52,971 --> 00:45:55,069
That was fantastic.

713
