1 00:00:01,089 --> 00:00:04,950 Previously on L .A. Law. I've sat by and watched as this place has changed. 2 00:00:05,230 --> 00:00:09,210 People have dissipated their time and wasted their talent. You have all 3 00:00:09,210 --> 00:00:13,030 other enterprises and neglected the one that this place was built on. Leland. 4 00:00:13,170 --> 00:00:18,110 I'm not done. This, ladies and gentlemen, is a law office. So you're 5 00:00:18,110 --> 00:00:22,090 to have to do a little soul -searching. I want to see all partners in my office 6 00:00:22,090 --> 00:00:25,690 today. I will expect either a commitment or a resignation. 7 00:00:26,770 --> 00:00:27,770 I'm in. 8 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,640 Whatever you need from me, Leland, you got it. That goes for me, too. 9 00:00:31,020 --> 00:00:33,360 That goes for both of us. What about you, Arnold? 10 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,000 You've got me, Leland. 11 00:00:35,620 --> 00:00:36,720 100%. Good. 12 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:38,640 I want to have a baby. 13 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,880 Oh, well, you'll make a terrific mother. 14 00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:42,100 With you. 15 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,620 No one should become a parent unless they're ready. Right. 16 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,600 Goes without saying. Now I know what to do. Name's clear. 17 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,000 Crystal. You shouldn't have the baby with Roxanne. I'm having the baby with 18 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,000 Roxanne. 19 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:53,360 What is this? 20 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,380 Took a home pregnancy test. 21 00:00:57,100 --> 00:00:58,180 I'm gonna have a baby. 22 00:01:00,420 --> 00:01:01,420 See ya. 23 00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:03,480 Oh, I almost forgot. 24 00:01:05,780 --> 00:01:09,080 It's never too early for him to work on his three -point shot. I thought you 25 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,080 wanted a girl. 26 00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:20,740 It never fails to amaze me that people actually think they can get away with 27 00:01:20,740 --> 00:01:23,900 these things. Mr. Peck, nobody's trying to get away with anything. If errors 28 00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:27,880 were made in calculating Ms. Bauman's tax return, we're here to rectify those 29 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,320 errors. Come on, Mr. Markowitz, I wasn't born yesterday. 30 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:31,598 What does that mean? 31 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,280 It means that this isn't someone who makes errors. 32 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,980 This is someone who calculates long and hard to conceal, connive, and defraud. 33 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,320 This is someone who actually thinks that she doesn't have to pay her rightful 34 00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:45,100 share of taxes to the United States government. 35 00:01:45,550 --> 00:01:49,770 and I find that absolutely intolerable. Mr. Pick, this entire problem can be 36 00:01:49,770 --> 00:01:51,530 attributed to Ms. Baum's former accountant. 37 00:01:51,910 --> 00:01:56,170 I don't buy that. It appears that in addition to a significant amount of 38 00:01:56,170 --> 00:02:01,450 unreported personal income, your client was using corporate employees to perform 39 00:02:01,450 --> 00:02:04,310 a variety of distinctly non -business -related functions. 40 00:02:04,750 --> 00:02:05,750 Wait a minute. 41 00:02:06,130 --> 00:02:11,270 I embody my company. What affects me affects my employees. This is all 42 00:02:11,270 --> 00:02:12,270 -related. 43 00:02:12,690 --> 00:02:13,930 You're kidding me, right? 44 00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:15,170 No, I'm not kidding you. 45 00:02:15,430 --> 00:02:18,990 I would appreciate it if you would tell your client to stop wasting my time. We 46 00:02:18,990 --> 00:02:21,710 have tax returns for the last ten years. Where do you want to start? I didn't 47 00:02:21,710 --> 00:02:26,910 build my business on vitamins and nutrient supplements alone, Mr. Pick. 48 00:02:27,310 --> 00:02:28,470 I built it on stamina. 49 00:02:28,890 --> 00:02:30,090 I built it on guts. 50 00:02:30,330 --> 00:02:35,410 And I built it by adhering to a personal philosophy that does not allow me to 51 00:02:35,410 --> 00:02:36,830 become intimidated by anyone. 52 00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:39,550 So, uh, Mr. Pick is just trying to do his job. 53 00:02:39,790 --> 00:02:40,790 That's right. 54 00:02:40,970 --> 00:02:44,170 And my job is to enforce the tax code. 55 00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:45,650 I enforce. 56 00:02:46,170 --> 00:02:47,170 You comply. 57 00:02:47,510 --> 00:02:48,990 You're not a well man, Marvin. 58 00:02:49,950 --> 00:02:54,930 You work in this miserable office. You drink coffee. And you smoke. 59 00:02:55,290 --> 00:02:59,930 And your diet, it's high in fat. It's low in fiber. It's not nearly dense 60 00:02:59,930 --> 00:03:00,849 in nutrients. 61 00:03:00,850 --> 00:03:05,510 And I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if your body wasn't ravaged by 62 00:03:05,510 --> 00:03:06,630 intestinal parasites. 63 00:03:07,310 --> 00:03:09,030 You know what? You're right. 64 00:03:09,740 --> 00:03:10,780 I drink coffee. 65 00:03:11,180 --> 00:03:12,180 I smoke. 66 00:03:12,260 --> 00:03:14,640 I only eat things that are bad for me. 67 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,800 And with all that, I'm still healthy enough to bring you to your knees. 68 00:03:19,260 --> 00:03:21,720 Me and my parasites. 69 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,080 You want to know what healthy is? 70 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,460 I'll tell you what healthy is. How old do you think I am? 71 00:03:28,020 --> 00:03:31,200 I have no idea. I'm 75 years old. 72 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,339 You're 75? 73 00:03:32,340 --> 00:03:34,680 The reason that I don't look my age. 74 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,520 is because I have a healthy, life -affirming attitude toward everybody and 75 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,600 everything. It comes from being at peace with myself and from being at peace 76 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:45,600 with the whole world. 77 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:51,740 I'm 75, and I'll live to dance on this little pissant's grave. 78 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,920 Stuart, Gwen, you know where to reach me. 79 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,960 And I know that I shall be hearing from you very soon. 80 00:06:05,540 --> 00:06:08,240 Can we get started? Just start. I'm starting. 81 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,860 People versus Matt. 82 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,040 Yes, yes, that's mine. Matt is accused of selling stolen artwork to an 83 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,700 undercover cop. I'm pleading entrapment. That's a tough sell. 84 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,260 I know it is. He had the stolen artwork in his possession? 85 00:06:19,580 --> 00:06:21,220 He did. And he sold it to the cop? 86 00:06:21,460 --> 00:06:23,120 Yep. So where's the entrapment? 87 00:06:23,340 --> 00:06:27,800 Well, my client's gay. He claims to have fallen for the cop. He also claims that 88 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,600 it was mutual, I say, for the purposes of his trial at least, that the cop 89 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,780 seduced him. In other words, it's your only shot. 90 00:06:34,140 --> 00:06:34,859 Yes, right. 91 00:06:34,860 --> 00:06:38,020 Then it must be true. In the matter of Celeste Bauman. Yes, that's me. 92 00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:42,080 Miss Bauman has a company that markets vitamins and dietary supplements. 93 00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:47,460 The IRS claims that she has underpaid her taxes by some $800 ,000 and for some 94 00:06:47,460 --> 00:06:49,980 reason they're being nasty about it. The IRS nasty? 95 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,260 Celeste is going to need a little managing, but I think we can resolve it. 96 00:06:53,580 --> 00:06:55,140 Gwen, you're observing on this one, correct? 97 00:06:55,420 --> 00:06:57,400 Yep. Our neat Jack Lawler's here. 98 00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:59,199 I gotta go. 99 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,900 How are you feeling, Roxanne? Pretty good. 100 00:07:01,290 --> 00:07:03,370 Everything going all right, vis -a -vis the pregnancy? 101 00:07:03,730 --> 00:07:04,629 So far. 102 00:07:04,630 --> 00:07:05,630 Good. 103 00:07:08,490 --> 00:07:12,050 How much paid leave are we on the hook for with this one? Six weeks. You 104 00:07:12,050 --> 00:07:15,130 wouldn't have a problem with that by any chance, would you, Doug? Oh, no. I 105 00:07:15,130 --> 00:07:16,170 think it's the least we can do. 106 00:07:17,790 --> 00:07:19,310 Come on, the kid's only 16. 107 00:07:19,790 --> 00:07:22,930 The victim was 16, too. That doesn't make him any less dead. 108 00:07:23,530 --> 00:07:26,210 Look, would you be willing to consider lowering the charge to manslaughter? 109 00:07:26,470 --> 00:07:27,470 Maybe. 110 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,080 You've also got a request in for a fitness hearing. Is it possible to let 111 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,540 one go and just try him as a juvenile? I don't know, Michael. It seems pretty 112 00:07:34,540 --> 00:07:39,260 grown up to me. He carried the gun into school. He shot this kid point blank and 113 00:07:39,260 --> 00:07:40,920 got in a lot here. He was scared. 114 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,900 He was tired of being picked on. 115 00:07:43,140 --> 00:07:46,200 It's not like this is a career criminal we're dealing with. Give him time. 116 00:07:46,580 --> 00:07:47,620 Come on, Tommy. 117 00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:51,280 All right. You want to try the kid as a juvenile? We will try him as a juvenile. 118 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,800 You're a beautiful human being. I love you, too. 119 00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:58,010 I'm nervous, Jonathan. 120 00:07:58,230 --> 00:07:59,230 I know. 121 00:07:59,470 --> 00:08:00,470 I won't make it. 122 00:08:00,950 --> 00:08:03,910 If they send me to prison, I tell you right now, I will not survive. 123 00:08:04,630 --> 00:08:07,690 Let's not get ahead of ourselves, okay? You're still convinced that entrapment 124 00:08:07,690 --> 00:08:10,970 is the way to go? In other words, you think a jury is going to believe me and 125 00:08:10,970 --> 00:08:12,990 not some big, strong Irish cop? 126 00:08:13,870 --> 00:08:15,650 You want to go in there now and change your plea to guilty? 127 00:08:15,850 --> 00:08:19,490 Come on. Jonathan, wait a minute. I'm telling you right now, you do that and 128 00:08:19,490 --> 00:08:20,490 you're going away for sure. 129 00:08:20,590 --> 00:08:21,690 They've got you dead to rights. 130 00:08:21,950 --> 00:08:24,750 The only way you're not going to prison is to plead entrapment. 131 00:08:25,550 --> 00:08:26,850 I hope that jury buys it. 132 00:08:28,130 --> 00:08:29,130 You're the lawyer. 133 00:08:30,970 --> 00:08:31,970 Okay. 134 00:08:37,570 --> 00:08:42,070 Mr. Matz told an informer he had access to a number of paintings, including an 135 00:08:42,070 --> 00:08:45,170 untitled work by Willem de Kooning. What did you do? 136 00:08:45,710 --> 00:08:48,990 Acting in an undercover capacity, I approached Mr. Matz. 137 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,840 informed him that I represented a Japanese investor who was interested in 138 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,400 some discreet purchases for his private collection, no questions asked. 139 00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:01,280 Matz provided me with a transparency, and I arranged to make the purchase. 140 00:09:01,580 --> 00:09:02,580 Was the purchase made? 141 00:09:02,860 --> 00:09:03,860 Yes. 142 00:09:04,420 --> 00:09:09,520 Undercover Officer Osaki gave Mr. Matz $300 ,000 in marked currency in exchange 143 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,480 for the painting. We arrested him on the spot, recovered the cash. 144 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:13,639 Thank you, Detective. 145 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:14,640 No further questions. 146 00:09:16,180 --> 00:09:18,620 Congratulations on a major recovery, Detective. 147 00:09:18,820 --> 00:09:19,820 Thank you. 148 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,740 Tell us what you did in your undercover capacity in order to gain my client's 149 00:09:23,740 --> 00:09:26,440 confidence. I convinced him I was an art dealer. 150 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:27,719 How'd you do that? 151 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:32,880 I know a good deal about art. That's how I... I could talk about Jackson Pollock 152 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,380 or Miranda or Bala or Kokoschka and... Well, I sound like I know what I'm 153 00:09:37,380 --> 00:09:38,079 talking about. 154 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,420 And where was it that these discussions took place, detective? 155 00:09:40,740 --> 00:09:42,260 Places of Mr. Matz's choosing. 156 00:09:42,500 --> 00:09:43,500 The Rage? 157 00:09:43,540 --> 00:09:47,540 The Emerald City? The Anvil? Like I said, places of Mr. Matz's choosing. 158 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:48,800 Gay bars. 159 00:09:51,449 --> 00:09:53,070 Detective, did you sleep with my client? 160 00:09:53,610 --> 00:09:54,610 Absolutely not. 161 00:09:54,650 --> 00:09:57,690 Did you ever indicate to him that you would sleep with him? No, I didn't. You 162 00:09:57,690 --> 00:09:59,810 were aware, were you not, that the defendant was gay? 163 00:10:00,170 --> 00:10:03,970 Yeah, I was aware of that. Did you ever say or do anything, Detective, that 164 00:10:03,970 --> 00:10:05,890 would lead him to believe that you were gay as well? 165 00:10:06,170 --> 00:10:10,070 No. No. Is it common for a straight man to frequent gay bars? I don't know 166 00:10:10,070 --> 00:10:13,550 whether it's common or not. I was a point man in an undercover operation. 167 00:10:14,330 --> 00:10:17,670 I went where the subject wanted to go. Is it fair to say, Detective, that you 168 00:10:17,670 --> 00:10:21,810 did nothing to disabuse Mr. Mathis of the notion that you were, in fact, Okay, 169 00:10:21,810 --> 00:10:24,870 let him believe what he wanted to believe. I was on a case. 170 00:10:26,110 --> 00:10:27,110 Thank you, detective. 171 00:10:27,490 --> 00:10:28,490 I have nothing further. 172 00:10:34,690 --> 00:10:39,590 Marvin, Marvin, Marvin. What am I going to do with you? This woman is delinquent 173 00:10:39,590 --> 00:10:41,550 in the payment of her income tax, sir. 174 00:10:42,550 --> 00:10:47,050 What I am doing is simply that which my job description calls for me to do. 175 00:10:47,270 --> 00:10:49,030 I am enforcing the law. 176 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,580 Is she delinquent in the payment of her income tax? 177 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,620 Yes, we are willing to concede that she is. But we can't address the issue of 178 00:10:56,620 --> 00:11:00,140 repayment before we resolve the problem posed by this man's behavior. 179 00:11:00,460 --> 00:11:03,940 How have I offended this woman's delicate sensibilities, sir? 180 00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:08,300 By holding her to the same standards of accountability as anyone else who earns 181 00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:11,060 their living in the United States of America? You've been rude to her. 182 00:11:12,540 --> 00:11:14,180 I've been rude to her? 183 00:11:14,420 --> 00:11:16,880 Yes, you have been extremely rude to her. 184 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,380 Oh, well, there you have it. You know what? This sounds to me like a matter of 185 00:11:21,380 --> 00:11:25,300 personal styles conflicting. Excuse me, I don't get involved in matters of 186 00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:27,220 style, personal or otherwise. 187 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,900 I adhere to a principle that is both simple and fair. 188 00:11:31,340 --> 00:11:32,820 Debts must be paid. 189 00:11:33,060 --> 00:11:36,080 She asked that you be nice to her. Is that too much to ask? 190 00:11:36,660 --> 00:11:37,660 Yes. 191 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,320 I have spent two and a half years on this case. 192 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,260 I believe I'm entitled to see it through to fruition. 193 00:11:47,300 --> 00:11:50,740 This is the man you want to see representing the service? Marvin Pick is 194 00:11:50,740 --> 00:11:51,880 agent, Mr. Markowitz. 195 00:11:52,220 --> 00:11:55,560 Well, I think he'd be a lot more effective if he could somehow fool us 196 00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:56,600 believing that he was human. 197 00:11:56,820 --> 00:11:59,520 His personality should not be the issue here. But it is. 198 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,920 To Celeste Bauman, it is the issue. 199 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,860 We can come to an agreement as to the money owed. We can come to an agreement 200 00:12:05,860 --> 00:12:07,200 to the repayment schedule. 201 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,800 But we can't come to an agreement as to Marvin Pick. I can't break faith with my 202 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:12,820 people, Mr. Markowitz. 203 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,740 I have the morale of an entire office to consider. 204 00:12:16,980 --> 00:12:18,640 Well, then we have come to an impasse. 205 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,680 Well, may I make a suggestion as to how to get through that? 206 00:12:23,100 --> 00:12:25,500 Sure.

How's the world of impending fatherhood treating you? 255 00:15:07,370 --> 00:15:11,910 All right. Is Roxanne around? She had a checkup during lunch. All right. 256 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,140 What time did she leave? About five minutes ago. You can probably still 257 00:15:16,140 --> 00:15:17,140 her. 258 00:15:17,460 --> 00:15:19,300 No, it's probably just as well. 259 00:15:20,180 --> 00:15:21,200 Is everything all right? 260 00:15:22,300 --> 00:15:23,300 I don't know. 261 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,020 Did you ever consider becoming a father? 262 00:15:27,300 --> 00:15:31,240 I was a stepfather for about six months. It was great. Then I screwed up, 263 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:32,279 remember? 264 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:33,780 Do you feel guilty about that? 265 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,120 Sometimes. 266 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,980 Tell you the truth, I don't think I'm cut out for family life. See, I'm not 267 00:15:40,980 --> 00:15:41,980 I am either. 268 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,840 I'd been married. That didn't work out. 269 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,480 Things with Zoe and I were always better when we weren't living together. 270 00:15:47,820 --> 00:15:48,820 Roxanne isn't Zoe. 271 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,720 But I am still me. 272 00:15:52,140 --> 00:15:56,800 I really thought I was ready to do it again. But now that Roxanne really is 273 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,920 ready, I feel like my shoes are nailed to the floor. 274 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,080 In my opinion, men don't have nesting instincts. It's the missing chromosome. 275 00:16:05,860 --> 00:16:09,780 There's one big problem, Arnie. I got a kid on the way. If I cut and run, that's 276 00:16:09,780 --> 00:16:10,559 who suffers. 277 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:11,469 That's true. 278 00:16:11,470 --> 00:16:13,310 I mean, they'll get over it, right, though? They're kids. 279 00:16:18,030 --> 00:16:21,090 Well, I tried. I couldn't get him reassigned, Celeste. 280 00:16:21,510 --> 00:16:23,530 Marvin Pick is the agent on their case. 281 00:16:23,750 --> 00:16:25,890 In that case, they have a problem. 282 00:16:27,250 --> 00:16:28,590 What kind of problem do they have? 283 00:16:28,810 --> 00:16:30,530 I refuse to deal with him. 284 00:16:30,790 --> 00:16:34,050 You can't refuse to deal with him, Celeste. He represents the United States 285 00:16:34,050 --> 00:16:37,910 government. For our purposes, Marvin Pick is the United States government. 286 00:16:38,210 --> 00:16:40,750 Well, let's just see what they're going to do. 287 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,560 No. You see, there's nothing to see. There's no mystery here. 288 00:16:44,860 --> 00:16:48,300 Here's the way it's going to work. You refuse to pay your taxes, they are going 289 00:16:48,300 --> 00:16:50,540 to seize your assets and put you in jail. 290 00:16:50,980 --> 00:16:53,900 You're under a great deal of stress, aren't you? I'm not under a great deal 291 00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:56,480 stress. You are under a great deal of stress. 292 00:16:56,900 --> 00:17:00,860 Listen, I have something we just came out with. It's made from valerian, 293 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,260 lavender, and balm. 294 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:03,620 And it's wonderful. 295 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,440 Ms. Baumann, the IRS is capable of doing what Stuart says. 296 00:17:08,060 --> 00:17:09,060 Oh, I know that. 297 00:17:10,060 --> 00:17:15,900 So? I know this is going to sound hopelessly egotistical, but I don't 298 00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:16,940 they're going to do it to me. 299 00:17:17,140 --> 00:17:18,140 Why not? 300 00:17:18,540 --> 00:17:23,339 Because of who I am. Who you are means nothing to the Internal Revenue Service. 301 00:17:23,700 --> 00:17:28,480 Stuart, what do you think accounts for the fact that my company's gross sales 302 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,680 are over $5 .5 million a year? 303 00:17:32,120 --> 00:17:34,340 I think you make a product that people want to buy. 304 00:17:34,620 --> 00:17:37,980 Well, that accounts for about 10 % of the equation. 305 00:17:39,180 --> 00:17:44,540 But what accounts for the other 90 % of my success is that I simply will not 306 00:17:44,540 --> 00:17:45,540 accept failure. 307 00:17:45,900 --> 00:17:48,320 Listen, I'm going to share something with you. 308 00:17:49,020 --> 00:17:53,560 In 1969, my husband walked out on me. 309 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:59,800 He left me with three small children to raise and no source of income. 310 00:18:00,260 --> 00:18:04,700 Well, I cried myself to sleep every night for about a year. And it took me 311 00:18:04,700 --> 00:18:06,380 about that long to realize... 312 00:18:07,180 --> 00:18:10,020 that sorrow and self -pity would not feed my kids. 313 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:11,660 So I made a decision. 314 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:18,660 I walked through the door, set myself down, and I forced the world to deal 315 00:18:18,660 --> 00:18:19,660 me on my terms. 316 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:25,000 I make it work with my competitors, I make it work with my distributors, and 317 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,060 going to make it work with the Internal Revenue Service. 318 00:18:29,620 --> 00:18:31,540 You owe these people $800 ,000. 319 00:18:32,700 --> 00:18:33,840 You're going to have to deal with them. 320 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,140 Not until they treat me with some respect. 321 00:18:42,340 --> 00:18:44,800 Oh, excuse me. I'm sorry. Good morning. 322 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,039 Good morning. 323 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,600 You must be Leland McKenzie. 324 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:52,380 Yeah. Yes, I am. Stuart Markowitz told me you are the senior partner here. So 325 00:18:52,380 --> 00:18:53,800 you would say that I look senior? 326 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,400 No. 327 00:18:55,540 --> 00:18:58,220 Actually, I would say that you look old. 328 00:18:59,420 --> 00:19:03,500 Nice to have met you. Which isn't to say that you don't look virile as well. 329 00:19:04,220 --> 00:19:08,520 But I can tell just by looking at you that you are in need of detoxification. 330 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,120 Detoxification? I don't believe anyone's ever said that to me before. 331 00:19:12,380 --> 00:19:13,780 Well, most people can't tell. 332 00:19:14,140 --> 00:19:18,520 But I have been blessed with eyes that see and hands that heal. 333 00:19:19,180 --> 00:19:24,900 And I look at you and I know that your body is littered with impure matter and 334 00:19:24,900 --> 00:19:26,640 your manliness dissipated. 335 00:19:27,260 --> 00:19:30,300 You need to detoxify yourself, Leland McKenzie. 336 00:19:31,630 --> 00:19:35,270 You have no idea the things that you are still capable of. 337 00:19:48,750 --> 00:19:51,990 What are we doing here? I thought you called this hearing off. I changed my 338 00:19:51,990 --> 00:19:53,890 mind. What do you mean you changed your mind? 339 00:19:54,130 --> 00:19:58,850 I mean I want this little bastard prosecuted as an adult after all. I 340 00:19:58,850 --> 00:20:02,010 that's wholly indicated by the facts of the case. Can we talk about this? 341 00:20:02,050 --> 00:20:04,990 There's nothing to talk about. Kids shouldn't have to worry about getting 342 00:20:04,990 --> 00:20:06,930 when they go to school. End of discussion. 343 00:20:10,330 --> 00:20:11,330 Ms. 344 00:20:11,510 --> 00:20:16,150 Walker, would you describe for the court what you saw happen on the afternoon of 345 00:20:16,150 --> 00:20:17,150 February 9th? 346 00:20:17,370 --> 00:20:21,390 I was outside the school supervising a student's departure when I became aware 347 00:20:21,390 --> 00:20:23,370 of commotion and shouting near the parking lot. 348 00:20:23,730 --> 00:20:28,190 I went over to investigate, and I saw about 20 students standing in a circle. 349 00:20:28,410 --> 00:20:30,590 Inside the circle were Raphael and Ronald. 350 00:20:30,870 --> 00:20:33,130 Raphael had a gun pointing at Ronald. 351 00:20:33,430 --> 00:20:34,430 What happened next? 352 00:20:34,590 --> 00:20:38,650 Ronald started calling Raphael names. When Raphael didn't respond, Ronald 353 00:20:38,650 --> 00:20:44,310 closer to him, taunting him, calling him coward, sissy, and even hitting at the 354 00:20:44,310 --> 00:20:50,360 gun. And then? Rafael dropped to one knee, he took aim, and shot Ronald in 355 00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:51,360 chest. 356 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,740 Thank you.

Yes or no, Ms. Walker? 359 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,740 No. And with the exception of February 9th, did you ever hear him threaten 360 00:21:06,740 --> 00:21:08,440 Ronald Ortega in any way? 361 00:21:08,740 --> 00:21:09,760 Objection not relevant. 362 00:21:10,100 --> 00:21:12,710 Overruled. I'll allow that. The answer is no. 363 00:21:12,910 --> 00:21:17,230 Ms. Walker, could you tell the court what happened to you on August 10th, 364 00:21:18,350 --> 00:21:19,530 Objection. Not relevant. 365 00:21:19,810 --> 00:21:20,930 Goes to bias, Your Honor. 366 00:21:21,150 --> 00:21:22,150 I'll allow it. 367 00:21:22,370 --> 00:21:23,229 Ms. Walker. 368 00:21:23,230 --> 00:21:27,770 That was the day one of my students held me at gunpoint for seven hours in my 369 00:21:27,770 --> 00:21:29,870 classroom because I flunked him in English. 370 00:21:30,170 --> 00:21:33,250 And was he tried as an adult or a juvenile? 371 00:21:33,450 --> 00:21:34,750 He got one year in a youth camp. 372 00:21:35,010 --> 00:21:36,130 And how did you feel about that? 373 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:37,480 Not very good. 374 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,360 Is it possible, Ms. Walker, that that turn of events makes it difficult for 375 00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:45,020 to give this court an objective account of your experiences with my client? 376 00:21:45,220 --> 00:21:49,440 Mr. Owen, I believe that there's something very wrong when a 16 -year 377 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,920 chooses to settle his differences by murdering a classmate on the playground. 378 00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:54,440 Move to strike. We are terrified, 379 00:21:55,180 --> 00:21:58,800 Mr. Owen. Students want to learn. Teachers want to teach. But we can't do 380 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,440 because we live in fear. I have no further questions for this witness, Your 381 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,260 Honor. Ms. Walker, you may step down. 382 00:22:07,690 --> 00:22:12,790 We met at a gallery opening in Santa Monica. I was attracted to him 383 00:22:12,870 --> 00:22:16,950 I got the impression he felt the same way. What, if anything, did he say to 384 00:22:16,950 --> 00:22:17,649 you that impression? 385 00:22:17,650 --> 00:22:19,090 I knew it from the moment we met. 386 00:22:19,470 --> 00:22:25,650 It was everything. We'd have dinners. We'd go out for drinks. Greg would call 387 00:22:25,650 --> 00:22:27,810 them business meetings, but we both knew they were dates. 388 00:22:28,190 --> 00:22:29,670 Objection as to what they both knew. 389 00:22:30,130 --> 00:22:35,480 Sustained. The last part of the witness's response is stricken. Who 390 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,500 the first discussion about the stolen artwork? 391 00:22:37,820 --> 00:22:39,640 He did. Would you tell the court what he said? 392 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,500 He said he had this Japanese collector desperate for a de Kooning that had 393 00:22:44,500 --> 00:22:49,940 recently been stolen. He said there'd be no questions asked and that we'd make 394 00:22:49,940 --> 00:22:54,480 enough money to go to Ibiza and live together without worrying about a thing. 395 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,100 Did you have sex with Detective Riley, Mr. Matz? 396 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,480 Yes, I did. How many times? 397 00:23:00,740 --> 00:23:01,740 Only once. 398 00:23:02,350 --> 00:23:04,730 After I got the painting for him, I never heard from him again. 399 00:23:05,390 --> 00:23:06,390 Nothing further. 400 00:23:10,270 --> 00:23:14,310 You say you never would have committed this crime were it not for the fact that 401 00:23:14,310 --> 00:23:15,810 you were in love with Detective Riley. 402 00:23:16,250 --> 00:23:19,450 That's right. How did you know where to go to procure a stolen painting, Mr. 403 00:23:19,530 --> 00:23:21,550 Matz? I know my way around the art world. 404 00:23:21,930 --> 00:23:27,310 It's a rather small, insular environment. I made some inquiries, 405 00:23:27,310 --> 00:23:28,730 I needed to know. It's not that difficult. 406 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,920 Particularly since you'd done it before, hadn't you? Objection. Goes to 407 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:32,920 credibility, Your Honor. 408 00:23:33,460 --> 00:23:37,300 Overruled. You were involved with the transportation and sale of a group of 409 00:23:37,300 --> 00:23:41,060 stolen drawings by Arshile Gorky, weren't you? Not knowingly. What does 410 00:23:41,060 --> 00:23:43,880 mean, not knowingly? It means that I didn't know they were stolen. 411 00:23:44,140 --> 00:23:45,059 I see. 412 00:23:45,060 --> 00:23:49,160 And when you were convicted of selling a forged canvas of the German painter Max 413 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,660 Pechstein, is it your testimony that you didn't know it was forged? 414 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,140 Yes, that is my testimony. 415 00:23:54,420 --> 00:23:55,440 This night... 416 00:23:55,740 --> 00:23:58,680 Of passion. You claim to have had with Detective Riley. 417 00:23:59,180 --> 00:24:00,460 Where did it take place? 418 00:24:00,740 --> 00:24:01,739 In my apartment. 419 00:24:01,740 --> 00:24:03,180 Anyone there beside the two of you? 420 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,620 No. Anyone see you enter the apartment? 421 00:24:06,820 --> 00:24:08,600 No. Anyone see you leave? 422 00:24:08,900 --> 00:24:11,580 No. In other words, it's just your word against his. 423 00:24:11,900 --> 00:24:13,840 Yes. I have nothing further, Your Honor. 424 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,500 Wait. One second. 425 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:24,400 Greg? 426 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:27,280 What do you want? 427 00:24:27,580 --> 00:24:29,940 I want to talk to you. No, I don't want to talk to you. It's important. 428 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:35,380 Hey, I said I don't want to talk to you. Simon, come on. Greg, I'm HIV positive. 429 00:24:36,700 --> 00:24:38,580 I just found out I think you should get tested. 430 00:24:44,620 --> 00:24:45,920 Simon, you're HIV positive? 431 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,460 No, in point of fact, I'm not. 432 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,860 I think if you put a private investigator on him, I think you should 433 00:25:09,090 --> 00:25:10,090 Mr. Carlos Sordo. 434 00:25:11,590 --> 00:25:14,090 How long have you been a probation officer in the juvenile system? 435 00:25:14,370 --> 00:25:18,430 Almost 20 years. And in that time, how many investigations have you conducted 436 00:25:18,430 --> 00:25:22,150 help the court determine whether or not a minor is fit to be dealt with through 437 00:25:22,150 --> 00:25:23,109 the juvenile court? 438 00:25:23,110 --> 00:25:24,570 Hundreds. And what is your recommendation? 439 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,600 with regard to Rafael Montalvo? The boy acted without premeditation. He has no 440 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,120 affiliation to gangs. 441 00:25:31,420 --> 00:25:35,900 He has no prior record of violent behavior, no history of drug use. 442 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,080 He does have a previous arrest record. The offenses were petty theft, and the 443 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,880 probation department found him very responsive to rehabilitation. 444 00:25:44,620 --> 00:25:45,940 What about his family life? 445 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,520 It seems relatively stable, and his mother's willing to do anything she can 446 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:51,620 get him back on the right track. 447 00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:52,739 Thank you, Mr. 448 00:25:52,740 --> 00:25:54,160 Calasurdo. I have no further questions. 449 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:59,540 Mr. Calasurdo, it is your belief that Rafael Montalvo acted without 450 00:25:59,540 --> 00:26:01,160 premeditation. Is that correct? 451 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,680 Yes. You don't think bringing a gun to school and bragging about how Mr. Ortega 452 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,480 wouldn't be able to mess with him shows premeditation? 453 00:26:08,740 --> 00:26:10,780 I don't think it shows premeditation to murder. 454 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,680 What does it show premeditation to do? To protect himself. 455 00:26:14,330 --> 00:26:18,010 Do you know how many weapons were recovered from schools in Los Angeles 456 00:26:18,010 --> 00:26:19,010 year? Objection. 457 00:26:19,750 --> 00:26:24,610 765. Mr. Mullaney, there's been an objection and the objection's sustained. 458 00:26:24,610 --> 00:26:25,269 on, please. 459 00:26:25,270 --> 00:26:26,270 Does it bother you? 460 00:26:26,410 --> 00:26:27,410 Even a little bit? 461 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,560 That all of the other predators who are roaming the halls of our schools will 462 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,900 have their faith in the leniency of our courts confirmed. 463 00:26:36,140 --> 00:26:40,520 Objection. Does it bother you that he opened fire in a crowded schoolyard? And 464 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,980 does it bother you that we will have failed once again to protect our young? 465 00:26:45,220 --> 00:26:49,270 Counselor. I think there may be some critical issues here, Your Honor, that 466 00:26:49,270 --> 00:26:52,390 being overlooked. If there are, you should address them in the appropriate 467 00:26:52,390 --> 00:26:55,810 manner. This is my courtroom, and you're going to conduct yourself as an 468 00:26:55,810 --> 00:26:58,230 attorney, not as a demagogue. Can you do that? 469 00:26:58,610 --> 00:26:59,750 Yes, Your Honor. Good. 470 00:26:59,950 --> 00:27:02,270 Now, do you have any further questions for this witness? 471 00:27:02,590 --> 00:27:04,310 No, Your Honor, I do not. 472 00:27:16,019 --> 00:27:20,480 He remains convinced that the IRS will somehow bend to her will, and no matter 473 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,560 what I say to her, she can't be persuaded from that. 474 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,700 Would it accomplish anything to have her meet with the supervisor? 475 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,160 What would that accomplish? 476 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,520 Well, maybe she could work out a settlement or a payment schedule 477 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,000 him and bypass Marvin Pick altogether. 478 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,960 It doesn't work that way, Gwen. They have their way of doing things, and 479 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,960 not about to abandon that in order to accommodate us. I think we have to send 480 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:39,539 her packing. 481 00:27:39,540 --> 00:27:41,100 You mean refuse to represent her anymore? 482 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,840 She's ignoring our advice, Gwen. Well, maybe we could try a little harder to 483 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,540 convince her. Not yet being a lawyer. 484 00:27:46,780 --> 00:27:50,040 It may be hard for you to accept the degree to which a client will become 485 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:54,880 fixated on doing that, which to an objective observer is utterly inimical 486 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:55,759 their own interests. 487 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:56,499 It happens. 488 00:27:56,500 --> 00:27:59,580 I don't think you have to be a lawyer to understand this woman. I just think you 489 00:27:59,580 --> 00:28:02,820 have to listen to her. You're not making this a woman's thing, are you? I'm not 490 00:28:02,820 --> 00:28:06,300 making this any kind of thing. I just don't think we've exhausted our 491 00:28:06,300 --> 00:28:09,120 to her, and I don't think we should send her packing until we do. 492 00:28:09,940 --> 00:28:12,380 Well... Then there's the other problem. That's right. 493 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,580 It's called malpractice. And the risk of getting sued for it makes even me be 494 00:28:16,580 --> 00:28:18,540 willing to forego the fees this client would generate. 495 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,580 You think she'd sue us? Let the IRS take her house away and see whose fault all 496 00:28:23,580 --> 00:28:24,379 this becomes. 497 00:28:24,380 --> 00:28:28,260 And it's something that we, as partners in this firm, have to worry about. While 498 00:28:28,260 --> 00:28:32,140 you, who are neither a partner nor a lawyer, don't. This may come as a shock 499 00:28:32,140 --> 00:28:32,999 you, Douglas. 500 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,620 But once in a great while, even those who are neither partners nor lawyers 501 00:28:36,620 --> 00:28:37,620 something to say. 502 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,200 Gwen. And when they do, they like to be able to pretend that they're being taken 503 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,200 seriously. 504 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,420 Rafael, how long did you know Ronald Ortega? 505 00:28:56,380 --> 00:28:57,380 About two years. 506 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,340 And what was the nature of your relationship? 507 00:29:02,429 --> 00:29:04,210 We, uh, we hated each other. 508 00:29:05,250 --> 00:29:07,330 Why? I don't know why he hated me. 509 00:29:08,930 --> 00:29:11,190 I hated him because he picked on me all the time. 510 00:29:11,750 --> 00:29:13,870 Accused me of doing things I never did. Such as? 511 00:29:14,250 --> 00:29:15,290 Dissing him to his girlfriend. 512 00:29:15,890 --> 00:29:17,270 What, breaking his car window? 513 00:29:17,670 --> 00:29:18,690 Did you do those things? 514 00:29:18,950 --> 00:29:19,950 No. 515 00:29:20,410 --> 00:29:22,430 When you say he picked on you, what do you mean? 516 00:29:22,950 --> 00:29:25,150 He'd follow me home from school with some of his friends. 517 00:29:25,590 --> 00:29:26,890 Beat me up, take my money. 518 00:29:27,250 --> 00:29:29,910 One time he, uh, took my pants and my shoes. 519 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,200 I had to walk four blocks like that. 520 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,180 He said fat boys like me made him sick. 521 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:37,460 How did you respond to this treatment? 522 00:29:38,660 --> 00:29:39,840 I tried to ignore him. 523 00:29:41,700 --> 00:29:43,320 What were you planning to do with the gun, Rafael? 524 00:29:43,780 --> 00:29:47,220 Nothing. Nothing. It just made me feel safer to have it, you know? 525 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,460 I thought he would stop bothering me if I had a gun. 526 00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:53,060 What happened on February 9th? 527 00:29:54,620 --> 00:29:56,660 My friend Richard was going to give me a ride home. 528 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:58,960 When we got out to the parking lot... 529 00:29:59,900 --> 00:30:02,440 Ortega was there. He said he had heard I had a gun. 530 00:30:02,860 --> 00:30:04,780 Started grabbing at me, trying to find it. 531 00:30:04,980 --> 00:30:06,000 So I broke free. 532 00:30:06,620 --> 00:30:08,480 I took it out and I pointed it at him. 533 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,800 He kept on coming at me, though, you know? 534 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:14,980 He kept on taunting me. 535 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,080 Finally, the gun went off. 536 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,180 How do you feel about what happened, Rafael? 537 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:25,440 I'm sorry. 538 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:27,620 I have no further questions. 539 00:30:37,290 --> 00:30:38,930 The gun went off. 540 00:30:40,050 --> 00:30:45,370 Yeah. Rafael, we've got at least ten witnesses who say you dropped to one 541 00:30:45,610 --> 00:30:49,850 You steadied the gun and aimed it before it went off. 542 00:30:50,210 --> 00:30:51,370 Are they telling the truth? 543 00:30:51,650 --> 00:30:55,170 Look, I was shaking all over. If I didn't kneel down, I would have fallen 544 00:30:56,050 --> 00:31:00,070 I didn't mean to shoot him. I just wanted him to know that I could take 545 00:31:00,070 --> 00:31:03,550 myself.

I had the distinct impression that Mr. Markowitz wanted to get rid of me. 607 00:34:58,620 --> 00:35:01,760 I think he feels at a loss for what to do. 608 00:35:02,420 --> 00:35:07,880 And you don't. Right. I don't. I want to talk you into paying what you owe.

I think 620 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,040 it's true. 621 00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:45,240 You do? 622 00:35:46,260 --> 00:35:49,000 You think that it's true? 623 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,740 You think I'm tired and that all I need is to rest. 624 00:35:55,220 --> 00:35:57,300 I also think you need to be acknowledged. 625 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,120 For a woman to have done what you did when you did it is a remarkable thing. 626 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,360 Someone needs to say that to you. 627 00:36:05,220 --> 00:36:09,100 Now, the IRS won't.

Yes, he did. Nonetheless, 634 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:45,260 find him guilty, you must ask yourselves, if he would have tried to 635 00:36:45,260 --> 00:36:48,220 he not been manipulated into doing so by Detective Riley. 636 00:36:48,460 --> 00:36:52,060 Now, with the exception of a few saints, all of us have a price. 637 00:36:52,490 --> 00:36:55,690 A point at which breaking the law becomes an acceptable alternative. 638 00:36:55,990 --> 00:36:58,930 For some, it might be the promise of wealth or power. 639 00:36:59,170 --> 00:37:04,130 For others, it might be the threat to one's home or job or family. 640 00:37:05,310 --> 00:37:08,610 Simon Matt was the promise of love. 641 00:37:09,770 --> 00:37:13,570 Detective Riley took advantage of this man's vulnerability for his own personal 642 00:37:13,570 --> 00:37:14,790 and professional gratification. 643 00:37:15,070 --> 00:37:20,270 He stopped at nothing, up to and including having sexual relations with 644 00:37:20,270 --> 00:37:21,710 Matt in order to make an arrest. 645 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:27,540 Mr. Matz was indeed entrapped. He was victimized by an unscrupulous cop and 646 00:37:27,540 --> 00:37:28,760 induced into committing a crime. 647 00:37:29,020 --> 00:37:33,200 Ladies and gentlemen, if you find him guilty, you will be rewarding conduct 648 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,620 threatens the members of this community infinitely more than the theft of a 649 00:37:36,620 --> 00:37:39,320 painting. I implore you not to do so. 650 00:37:39,820 --> 00:37:43,560 I implore you to find him not guilty. 651 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:46,600 Thank you. 652 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,920 No one is defending Detective Riley's behavior. 653 00:37:56,260 --> 00:38:01,160 Contrary to what Mr. Rollins would have you believe, however, that behavior does 654 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:05,940 not constitute entrapment. In Mr. Rollins' scenario, Detective Riley 655 00:38:05,940 --> 00:38:11,400 found Simon Matz's area of vulnerability and used it to coerce a completely 656 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,540 innocent victim into committing a crime. 657 00:38:14,620 --> 00:38:17,820 But if Mr. Matz was indeed... 658 00:38:18,410 --> 00:38:21,630 a law -abiding citizen prior to his encounter with Detective Riley. 659 00:38:22,230 --> 00:38:24,970 How do you account for his two prior convictions? 660 00:38:25,410 --> 00:38:30,830 One for trafficking in stolen art, one for trafficking in forged art?
