1
00:00:17,070 --> 00:00:18,070
Jason.

2
00:00:19,410 --> 00:00:20,410
She didn't forget.

3
00:00:20,650 --> 00:00:21,650
Forget what?

4
00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:23,230
It's my birthday.

5
00:00:23,550 --> 00:00:24,690
Today? Happy birthday.

6
00:00:24,910 --> 00:00:27,730
She knew how much I was dreading this
one. She knew it and she went out and

7
00:00:27,730 --> 00:00:31,870
bought a card. She sat down and she
wrote, wishing you only the best, only

8
00:00:31,870 --> 00:00:34,390
happiness. Very nice. Which one is it,
by the way?

9
00:00:34,670 --> 00:00:37,510
Has it ever occurred to you that maybe
something else is going on here?

10
00:00:37,790 --> 00:00:40,690
Like what? Like a rethinking of her
desire to get a divorce.

11
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,340
No, Arnie, she hasn't given any
indication of that, and God knows her

12
00:00:44,340 --> 00:00:47,900
hasn't acted like there's any doubt in
his mind. Young Brackman, if I've taught

13
00:00:47,900 --> 00:00:51,060
you anything about the vagaries of
people in the throes of marital

14
00:00:51,260 --> 00:00:54,080
I hope I've taught you that nobody is
sure about anything.

15
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,300
That's why cases proceed in fits and
starts. That's why we have to keep our

16
00:00:58,300 --> 00:01:01,480
clients' hearts from running roughshod
over their heads. I think that's what

17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:06,840
trying to do. This card is not just a
card, my young friend. This is a set of

18
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,540
keys conveniently forgotten, only to be
retrieved. This is a no.

19
00:01:19,910 --> 00:01:23,930
I got my birthday card.

20
00:01:24,550 --> 00:01:27,330
And now I'm going over to get my
present.

21
00:01:27,870 --> 00:01:29,070
Don't do it, Arnie.

22
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,240
What happened to we were going to call
before we came over?

23
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,680
That was the rule you gave me, Arnie,
remember?

24
00:02:58,620 --> 00:03:01,120
Are you going to say something or what?
I mean, you walked in on us.

25
00:03:03,500 --> 00:03:04,500
Okay.

26
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,840
I'm sorry you saw us, but that's the
chance you take when you walk into

27
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,040
someone's bedroom without knocking.

28
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:25,140
God, as we open up our sixth chakra, we
ask for your divine light to transmute

29
00:03:25,140 --> 00:03:30,940
out energies that are unloving, unkind,
ungrounded, darkened,

30
00:03:30,980 --> 00:03:33,260
stagnant, and based in fear.

31
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,840
We ask for clarity and divine tenacious.

32
00:03:39,740 --> 00:03:45,660
Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt, but there's
a call from your son's school, and

33
00:03:45,660 --> 00:03:47,240
neither of your secretaries are in yet.

34
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:48,600
Thanks, Roxanne.

35
00:03:48,990 --> 00:03:51,050
I didn't realize the guru was in here.

36
00:03:52,670 --> 00:03:54,110
I've read all your books.

37
00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:56,230
This is Stuart Markowitz.

38
00:03:58,130 --> 00:03:59,130
You're kidding.

39
00:03:59,290 --> 00:04:00,290
Hello.

40
00:04:01,110 --> 00:04:02,270
Oh, hi.

41
00:04:02,990 --> 00:04:04,070
Is everything all right?

42
00:04:06,030 --> 00:04:11,010
Yeah, look, I apologize, and I will take
care of it first thing this morning,

43
00:04:11,070 --> 00:04:12,070
all right?

44
00:04:12,090 --> 00:04:13,310
No, no thank you.

45
00:04:15,390 --> 00:04:16,390
What, Stuart?

46
00:04:16,810 --> 00:04:18,750
Our tuition check to Crossroads bounced.

47
00:04:19,790 --> 00:04:21,230
Why don't we deal with that later?

48
00:04:22,490 --> 00:04:26,590
Stuart, while Cyril's still here, why
don't we finish up our seven chakras?

49
00:04:27,390 --> 00:04:30,590
I think I'm going to have to let it go
at six today.

50
00:04:36,650 --> 00:04:37,970
I'm looking for Michael Cusack.

51
00:04:38,270 --> 00:04:40,710
Who? Michael Cusack. He's a lawyer here.

52
00:04:40,950 --> 00:04:41,990
There's nobody here by that name.

53
00:04:43,050 --> 00:04:44,090
You know Michael Cusack?

54
00:04:45,010 --> 00:04:46,740
Yeah. He doesn't work anymore?

55
00:04:47,660 --> 00:04:48,660
No.

56
00:04:49,380 --> 00:04:52,140
Look, why don't you leave your number?
If I find out there's a way to reach

57
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,560
I'll call you with it. Look, Mommy, I've
been calling his office for a week

58
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,600
without getting a call back. Now I need
to talk to a lawyer.

59
00:04:57,820 --> 00:04:59,140
Let me talk to a lawyer now.

60
00:04:59,580 --> 00:05:00,740
You can't go back there.

61
00:05:03,620 --> 00:05:06,060
I'm getting hammered with this
alternative minimum tax.

62
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,380
Is there any way you can defer my
estimated?

63
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,720
Let's do it.

64
00:05:12,620 --> 00:05:13,620
Excuse me.

65
00:05:14,380 --> 00:05:17,980
This looks like the boss's office.
Excuse me? Which one of you is the boss?

66
00:05:17,980 --> 00:05:21,240
the managing partner. What is it you
need? I need you to manage to tell me

67
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,260
I can find Michael Cusack.

68
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,160
Michael Cusack hasn't worked here for
over ten years. Either you remember

69
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,400
Hutchinson? Yeah, who killed the cop.
Who was accused of killing the cop. Who

70
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,600
Michael Cusack was his lawyer and who
now has two weeks before they execute

71
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,820
Right. I'm his daughter.

72
00:05:36,060 --> 00:05:38,000
I said she couldn't come back here.

73
00:05:38,260 --> 00:05:40,860
Oh, it's okay, Benny. Thanks. And you
need what?

74
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,240
My father's lawyer says he has angina
and he wants out. So I need somebody who

75
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,020
gives a damn, somebody who knows the
case, who's ready to take it on.

76
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:52,700
Michael Cusack is no longer practicing
and we don't handle capital cases.

77
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,980
This lawyer just got angina?

78
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,700
Look, I've been in rehab for a while,
okay?

79
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,340
So I haven't been as involved as I
should have been. The last place I was

80
00:06:05,340 --> 00:06:08,660
heard that hooker Belinda who testified
against my father now thinks she lied.

81
00:06:09,020 --> 00:06:10,020
Do it.

82
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,440
We have a staff meeting.

83
00:06:14,180 --> 00:06:15,180
So that's it?

84
00:06:15,260 --> 00:06:20,780
Why don't you write your number down,
and if we're able to make a referral,

85
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,360
somebody will call you.

86
00:06:23,740 --> 00:06:24,800
Not us, however.

87
00:06:27,180 --> 00:06:28,820
Here, let me take them.

88
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:31,280
Who knows? Maybe I can help.

89
00:06:39,150 --> 00:06:42,150
I talked to the bank. They said they're
going to hold up returning any other

90
00:06:42,150 --> 00:06:43,190
checks, which is good.

91
00:06:43,630 --> 00:06:45,010
And I'll go in and see him tomorrow.

92
00:06:45,450 --> 00:06:46,450
You see what happened?

93
00:06:47,070 --> 00:06:49,210
I think we both have a pretty good idea
of what happened.

94
00:06:50,350 --> 00:06:54,610
Where's Arnie? Uh, he was here earlier.
He had something to do outside the

95
00:06:54,610 --> 00:06:55,910
office. Not waiting.

96
00:06:56,310 --> 00:06:58,050
Stecker versus Gerstner Food Group.

97
00:06:58,330 --> 00:07:01,590
Patent infringement involving corn chips
shaped like stars of David.

98
00:07:02,060 --> 00:07:05,800
Lee Stecker claims she patented an
extrusion mold to make snack food in the

99
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,080
shape of religious icons for all major
religions.

100
00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:09,760
Arbitration scheduled for next week.

101
00:07:09,980 --> 00:07:10,980
I can help you with that.

102
00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:12,300
Thanks.

103
00:07:12,740 --> 00:07:14,260
Eisendrath versus Betancourt.

104
00:07:14,540 --> 00:07:18,440
Some Beverly Hills homeowner with too
much time on her hands wants to enjoin

105
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,640
Betancourt from serving liquor at the
restaurant he can sell to the top of his

106
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:22,640
store. On what grounds?

107
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,700
She says the granting of a liquor
license is a violation of administrative

108
00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:28,600
process and endangerment to the
community, etc., etc.

109
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,000
Would it be all right if I sat in with
you on that?

110
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,180
Sure. Okay, great.

111
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:35,920
Anything else?

112
00:07:36,180 --> 00:07:40,420
Yeah, I would like to talk to Michael
Kuzak about this Hutchinson thing.

113
00:07:40,420 --> 00:07:41,960
that? Not firm business.

114
00:07:43,940 --> 00:07:44,940
Jason.

115
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,200
In my office.

116
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,120
You're going to amend our pleadings and
take our settlement proposal off the

117
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,680
table. We said she could have the house.
She can't have the house.

118
00:08:00,940 --> 00:08:04,860
The valuation we gave her of my equity
in the firm, forget it. I was a partner

119
00:08:04,860 --> 00:08:08,500
in this firm before I ever met her.
Whatever it's worth, it is not a mere

120
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:10,100
lesson. I knew you shouldn't have gone
over there.

121
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,280
Spousal support, the offer to pay her
medical and dental, maintaining a life

122
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,340
insurance policy with hers to name
beneficiary, all off the table. The

123
00:08:17,580 --> 00:08:21,340
the Land Rover, my Porsche, the art
collection, the antiques she acquired

124
00:08:21,340 --> 00:08:23,720
my money, and those stupid Bichon
Frises.

125
00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:25,580
I want it all.

126
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,620
Arnie, you're not going to get it all.

127
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:28,920
Maybe not.

128
00:08:30,250 --> 00:08:32,770
Make her live to whatever it takes to
get it away from me.

129
00:08:34,090 --> 00:08:36,049
Where was she when I was building the
restaurant?

130
00:08:36,470 --> 00:08:38,270
She's claiming there was insufficient
notice.

131
00:08:39,230 --> 00:08:40,230
Worst case scenario?

132
00:08:40,409 --> 00:08:43,309
She gets an injunction, it's made
permanent, and you can't make a dime.

133
00:08:43,730 --> 00:08:45,550
You say that so calmly.

134
00:08:46,470 --> 00:08:49,930
I'm a lawyer, Max. I'm calm until it
serves your interest for me not to be.

135
00:08:51,650 --> 00:08:52,650
Yeah?

136
00:08:53,590 --> 00:08:57,510
Pardon me, is this a bad time? No, come
on in. Max, this is Chloe Carpenter.

137
00:08:57,590 --> 00:08:58,610
She's an associate here.

138
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:00,880
Hello. How do you do?

139
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,840
Very nice to meet you, Mr. Ben Gordon.

140
00:09:03,740 --> 00:09:06,600
Do you have that correspondence file?

141
00:09:07,660 --> 00:09:08,660
It's in my office.

142
00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:09,800
Would you get it?

143
00:09:10,180 --> 00:09:11,900
Sure. Excuse me.

144
00:09:16,300 --> 00:09:17,300
Something took it.

145
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,920
Michael, there's someone named Stuart
Markle to see you.

146
00:09:47,220 --> 00:09:49,520
Stuart Markle? I have him over by the
door.

147
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Mike?

148
00:09:59,220 --> 00:10:00,280
You remember me?

149
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,940
A prostitute tells a bill dealer that
she lied on the witness stand.

150
00:10:05,860 --> 00:10:08,820
Come on, it's new evidence, and I think
there will be considered something less

151
00:10:08,820 --> 00:10:09,820
than unimpeachable.

152
00:10:09,940 --> 00:10:13,560
Well, I might not be doing it justice,
Mike. I gave the file a precursory read

153
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:16,360
-through. I gave it my best shot at
trial, Stuart.

154
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,140
Now, all the appeals have been lost. The
federal habeas writ has been lost.

155
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:21,840
There's nothing left.

156
00:10:22,660 --> 00:10:24,140
And he's still got any representation.

157
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:26,620
I'm a saloon keeper.

158
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:28,940
You ever miss being a lawyer?

159
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:31,980
You remember why I quit.

160
00:10:33,940 --> 00:10:36,000
You can't hold yourself responsible for
that, Mike.

161
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,640
I get a guy off for rape.

162
00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:41,060
Six weeks later, he goes out and commits
another rape, only this time he also

163
00:10:41,060 --> 00:10:42,060
kills the girl.

164
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,980
On what planet don't I hold myself
responsible?

165
00:10:47,940 --> 00:10:49,320
You do what lawyers do, Mike.

166
00:10:50,420 --> 00:10:51,420
Right.

167
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,900
And an adversarial system of justice is
the cornerstone of our democracy.

168
00:10:56,260 --> 00:10:57,980
And you still haven't answered my
question.

169
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,040
Which is what?

170
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:01,940
Which is, do you ever miss it?

171
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,080
Never.

172
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:05,640
Okay, fair enough.

173
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,860
You know, you could just check out
whether this prostitute would be willing

174
00:11:12,860 --> 00:11:13,860
come forward.

175
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,360
I could do that. Well, you know her from
the trial is the only reason I ask.

176
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:21,520
They need you, Mike.

177
00:11:34,910 --> 00:11:37,450
Albert, she found you.

178
00:11:40,790 --> 00:11:45,570
Look, I was telling your daughter that I
haven't practiced law in almost ten

179
00:11:45,570 --> 00:11:48,390
years. I don't have a firm behind me. I
don't even have an office.

180
00:11:48,590 --> 00:11:50,270
You're still the best lawyer I know,
Michael.

181
00:11:51,570 --> 00:11:54,230
Well, let me find you a lawyer.

182
00:11:54,490 --> 00:11:56,850
You were the only lawyer who believed my
father was innocent.

183
00:11:57,170 --> 00:11:58,310
It doesn't matter what I believed.

184
00:11:58,570 --> 00:12:02,750
You had no evidence. You had no witness.
You believed it because you believed

185
00:12:02,750 --> 00:12:06,570
me. And the fact that you couldn't prove
it didn't make you believe it any less.

186
00:12:06,830 --> 00:12:09,510
My father wants you to represent him,
Mr. Closet.

187
00:12:10,490 --> 00:12:12,050
I know the odds against me, Michael.

188
00:12:13,170 --> 00:12:16,230
But I still think I have a better chance
with you than with anyone else.

189
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:08,280
You want a date, honey?

190
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:09,840
Yeah, I do.

191
00:13:13,980 --> 00:13:18,940
I know you're no cop in this, but... You
got that right.

192
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,100
Don't think I'm being silly.

193
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:24,440
You don't remember?

194
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:27,120
No, darling. Should I?

195
00:13:28,060 --> 00:13:29,660
I was Albert Hutchinson's attorney.

196
00:13:32,300 --> 00:13:33,580
Had to know where to find me.

197
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,060
Well, when I found out you were in the
faculty of medical school, I figured I'd

198
00:13:37,060 --> 00:13:38,039
look here.

199
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,260
Now, that's pretty funny.

200
00:13:42,140 --> 00:13:44,760
Any truth to the rumor that you had a
sudden attack of conscience?

201
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,320
Said you lied on the witness stand?

202
00:13:46,940 --> 00:13:47,940
No, whatsoever.

203
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,180
Now, given that it was your testimony
that convicted him, it could probably be

204
00:13:53,180 --> 00:13:54,860
arranged for you to be present at the
execution.

205
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,320
Let me out.

206
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,660
A two -bit pot dealer gets sent to death
because why?

207
00:14:02,430 --> 00:14:03,750
You got a feel for your son?

208
00:14:04,290 --> 00:14:06,930
Look, I said what I saw. Other people
saw what they saw.

209
00:14:08,250 --> 00:14:09,550
You were the only eyewitness.

210
00:14:10,450 --> 00:14:12,150
Now, just what other people would those
be?

211
00:14:14,830 --> 00:14:15,830
Nobody.

212
00:14:15,990 --> 00:14:16,990
That wouldn't be nobody.

213
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:33,360
What'd you find out?

214
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,920
Uh, Cyril used those check -signing
privileges.

215
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,000
We're cleaned out.

216
00:14:46,100 --> 00:14:47,540
How did that happen?

217
00:14:47,940 --> 00:14:48,940
I don't know.

218
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:53,780
Things got away from him. He had cost
overruns. Does he know our account is

219
00:14:53,780 --> 00:14:54,780
cleaned out?

220
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,160
Not yet.

221
00:14:56,820 --> 00:14:58,140
He's gonna feel awful.

222
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:07,480
I'm Kennedy Brack.

223
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:10,640
Can I help you?

224
00:15:11,700 --> 00:15:18,460
I'm Michael Kuzak. I used to... I'm here
to see

225
00:15:18,460 --> 00:15:19,459
Douglas Brackman.

226
00:15:19,460 --> 00:15:20,460
Do you have an appointment?

227
00:15:21,060 --> 00:15:22,060
Actually, I don't.

228
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:23,360
Michael!

229
00:15:24,100 --> 00:15:26,100
Roxanne! What brings you here?

230
00:15:27,540 --> 00:15:29,360
I needed to see Douglas. Is he here?

231
00:15:29,620 --> 00:15:32,860
Yeah, he's in Leland's old office. Come
on, I'll take you. Great.

232
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,280
Oh, need to get that validated.

233
00:15:38,030 --> 00:15:39,090
Oh, look the same?

234
00:15:40,230 --> 00:15:41,230
More or less.

235
00:15:46,090 --> 00:15:47,350
There's someone here to see you.

236
00:15:49,930 --> 00:15:50,930
Hey, Douglas.

237
00:15:51,670 --> 00:15:54,410
Michael Cusack. How are you? Good, and
yourself?

238
00:15:54,770 --> 00:15:55,990
Good. Good.

239
00:15:56,290 --> 00:15:58,370
Very good. Now listen, Douglas.

240
00:15:59,110 --> 00:16:01,810
I'm going to represent Albert Hutchinson
in his appeal.

241
00:16:02,810 --> 00:16:03,810
Excellent.

242
00:16:03,990 --> 00:16:05,050
He's lucky to have you.

243
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,560
Uh, well, the thing is, I can't do it on
my own.

244
00:16:08,940 --> 00:16:10,300
I need a firm behind me.

245
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,780
I hope you're not talking about this
firm.

246
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,120
Well, this is the only firm I know.

247
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:16,880
Hey, stranger.

248
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,600
Ann! Oh, yeah. I heard you were here.

249
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,500
So, uh, this related to you taking the
case?

250
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:24,840
Yeah. Great.

251
00:16:25,700 --> 00:16:29,060
I was just asking Douglas if I could do
it in association with the firm.

252
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,080
Sounds good to me.

253
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,620
We're not in a position to do that,
Stuart.

254
00:16:34,020 --> 00:16:34,909
Why not?

255
00:16:34,910 --> 00:16:38,070
We phased out our criminal practice.
We'll be at the height of

256
00:16:38,450 --> 00:16:41,390
Since Hutchinson was represented by the
firm at trial, don't we have an

257
00:16:41,390 --> 00:16:42,389
obligation to him?

258
00:16:42,390 --> 00:16:43,390
No, we don't.

259
00:16:43,690 --> 00:16:44,910
I'm talking morally.

260
00:16:45,410 --> 00:16:46,690
No, we don't.

261
00:16:53,310 --> 00:16:55,310
So I heard from your wife directly.

262
00:16:56,070 --> 00:17:00,370
She wanted to know if you were serious
about the Bichon Priests or if you were

263
00:17:00,370 --> 00:17:02,430
just angry and saying you wanted them
for effect.

264
00:17:03,330 --> 00:17:04,329
Serious.

265
00:17:05,550 --> 00:17:09,130
You know, a judge is going to hammer us
if we start making an issue over stupid

266
00:17:09,130 --> 00:17:12,630
stuff, Arnie. Better prove that I didn't
love those dogs as much as she did. You

267
00:17:12,630 --> 00:17:15,569
simply said you locked them in a file
cabinet. That's not going to be too

268
00:17:15,950 --> 00:17:16,950
I'm playing with them.

269
00:17:23,250 --> 00:17:24,250
Hi.

270
00:17:24,970 --> 00:17:25,970
Hi.

271
00:17:26,369 --> 00:17:28,510
So anyway, the deposition's on for
tomorrow.

272
00:17:29,370 --> 00:17:30,370
I'm ready, man.

273
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:37,480
I want us to work together.

274
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,200
Well, I'm just an associate here, so I
do what I'm told.

275
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:42,960
Great.

276
00:17:46,100 --> 00:17:47,160
I'm telling you.

277
00:17:57,020 --> 00:17:58,360
Mr. Kuzak is here.

278
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,340
Hello, Michael.

279
00:18:07,590 --> 00:18:10,970
Right. Sure wasn't expecting to see your
name on my call sheet today.

280
00:18:11,890 --> 00:18:12,890
How are you?

281
00:18:13,490 --> 00:18:14,490
Good.

282
00:18:14,750 --> 00:18:16,290
Yourself? Good.

283
00:18:17,590 --> 00:18:18,590
How's the bar?

284
00:18:20,010 --> 00:18:24,410
Good. Though most people refer to it as
a restaurant. But we do have a bar. I

285
00:18:24,410 --> 00:18:25,770
keep meaning to come by.

286
00:18:26,550 --> 00:18:27,550
Anytime.

287
00:18:31,130 --> 00:18:33,330
So, what brings you to my neck of the
woods?

288
00:18:33,630 --> 00:18:35,170
I want to ask you not to oppose us.

289
00:18:35,420 --> 00:18:36,740
They have execution in Hutchinson.

290
00:18:38,420 --> 00:18:39,840
Are you back to being a lawyer?

291
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:41,240
Just one case.

292
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,240
Ah.

293
00:18:46,100 --> 00:18:47,400
I can't do it, Michael.

294
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,580
Hutchinson's had nine years' worth of
appeals and writs, and they've all been

295
00:18:52,580 --> 00:18:56,000
denied. I'm not asking for a pardon,
Gracie. I'm asking you not to oppose my

296
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,560
motion. I know what you're asking for,
and I can't do it.

297
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,580
Even if I wanted to, which I don't.

298
00:19:04,170 --> 00:19:05,810
The judge isn't going to grant it.

299
00:19:06,890 --> 00:19:10,190
You can't allow for any possibility that
you might have convicted the wrong man?

300
00:19:10,750 --> 00:19:12,550
You and I went through a trial.

301
00:19:13,010 --> 00:19:17,910
I put on my witnesses, you put on yours,
and beyond a reasonable doubt, he was

302
00:19:17,910 --> 00:19:24,570
found guilty. Personally, Gracie, for
one brief moment, I want you to stop

303
00:19:24,570 --> 00:19:27,450
a prosecutor and talk to me as a human.

304
00:19:30,700 --> 00:19:33,720
You're here as an attorney representing
a client.

305
00:19:34,500 --> 00:19:36,380
I'm here as the district attorney.

306
00:19:36,900 --> 00:19:39,980
Come on, Gracie, we lived together. We
loved each other.

307
00:19:41,260 --> 00:19:43,380
I need you to talk to me from your
heart.

308
00:19:45,020 --> 00:19:49,360
It's always been hard for you to
understand, but in my heart, I'm a

309
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,860
That was true when we loved each other.

310
00:19:53,380 --> 00:19:54,400
It's still true.

311
00:19:55,500 --> 00:19:56,500
No stay.

312
00:20:07,180 --> 00:20:08,180
Beautiful greenery.

313
00:20:09,340 --> 00:20:10,340
Michael!

314
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,200
Leo. How are you? Fine. Good to see you.

315
00:20:15,460 --> 00:20:16,940
You look well. Thank you.

316
00:20:17,180 --> 00:20:18,180
Ah.

317
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:20,880
Cherry tomato.

318
00:20:21,260 --> 00:20:22,340
Oh, thanks.

319
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,880
Nothing like homegrown tomatoes in the
middle of the afternoon.

320
00:20:27,140 --> 00:20:29,040
Oh, what's that one over there?

321
00:20:30,460 --> 00:20:31,700
Udon tiota.

322
00:20:33,700 --> 00:20:36,040
Well, that is beautiful.

323
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,720
You drive all the way up to Montecito
for a garden tour?

324
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:42,320
No.

325
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,680
I'm handling Albert Hutchinson's appeal.

326
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,720
I need to do it in association with the
firm. I got 11 days left until the

327
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:50,720
execution.

328
00:20:51,580 --> 00:20:53,240
Have you taken this up with Douglas?

329
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,040
Douglas doesn't want the firm involved.

330
00:20:57,020 --> 00:20:58,180
That's his decision.

331
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,940
Albert Hutchinson heard himself
sentenced to death with me standing next

332
00:21:03,380 --> 00:21:05,060
He wants me to stand next to him now.

333
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,300
I don't believe the firm has an
underlying obligation.

334
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,960
According to whom? The Bar Association?

335
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,840
The Lawyer's Code of Ethics?

336
00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:16,260
Those are the authorities we look to.

337
00:21:17,060 --> 00:21:19,420
You taught me to look to a higher
authority, Leland.

338
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:21,160
Didn't you?

339
00:21:21,820 --> 00:21:27,640
Well, why do I keep getting the feeling
that you've been waiting for something

340
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:28,740
like this to come along?

341
00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:31,120
Will you help me?

342
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,840
We don't feel like he took us for
anything, Douglas.

343
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:44,080
He's building a homeopathic slash
Ayurvedic healing center in the

344
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,680
Is that right? We got a fax that he left
for Switzerland last night.

345
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,420
Well, that's certainly no cause for
alarm.

346
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:51,560
We're not alarmed.

347
00:21:52,060 --> 00:21:54,060
No, we're not overly alarmed.

348
00:21:54,940 --> 00:21:57,920
Stuart. None of those Switzerland's the
place people go when they're looking to

349
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:58,920
hide money.

350
00:21:59,620 --> 00:22:02,480
He's trying to start a center in
Switzerland.

351
00:22:03,150 --> 00:22:06,470
Just out of curiosity, why would you
make him a signatory on your account?

352
00:22:07,610 --> 00:22:08,610
We wanted to.

353
00:22:09,190 --> 00:22:12,190
Yeah, and obviously we didn't know he
was going to, you know.

354
00:22:12,950 --> 00:22:16,670
We both felt that it would allow Cyril
to move forward with his healing center,

355
00:22:16,770 --> 00:22:20,390
which we both felt was an incredibly
worthwhile and important thing.

356
00:22:21,130 --> 00:22:25,010
We were also assured by Cyril that any
money he took out of our account, he

357
00:22:25,010 --> 00:22:27,490
would make sure to put back in. So you
have an assurance.

358
00:22:27,830 --> 00:22:29,410
Exactly. Well, you're both idiots.

359
00:22:33,070 --> 00:22:34,070
Hi, folks.

360
00:22:34,710 --> 00:22:38,350
Hey, what are you doing in the
neighborhood? I need to speak with

361
00:22:38,350 --> 00:22:41,030
for a minute. Oh, well, we'll let you
be. Do it.

362
00:22:42,710 --> 00:22:44,110
I'll take care of covering your account.

363
00:22:44,950 --> 00:22:46,290
Douglas, thank you.

364
00:22:48,470 --> 00:22:49,470
Good to see you, Leon.

365
00:22:52,650 --> 00:22:53,730
Is everything all right?

366
00:22:54,750 --> 00:22:55,750
Everything's fine.

367
00:22:57,170 --> 00:22:59,550
What's your feeling on this Hutchinson
case?

368
00:23:00,390 --> 00:23:01,830
Who's that? Talk to you about it.

369
00:23:03,100 --> 00:23:06,120
Yeah. My thinking is that it's not the
kind of cake we handle.

370
00:23:06,380 --> 00:23:10,220
But Michael would be doing the actual
hearing. And using this firm as his

371
00:23:10,220 --> 00:23:11,219
support staff.

372
00:23:11,220 --> 00:23:13,220
Not exactly the role I envisioned for
us.

373
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,540
Would that have been your reaction had
someone other than Michael Cusack come

374
00:23:17,540 --> 00:23:18,540
you?

375
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,380
Now, why would you ask me that?

376
00:23:21,740 --> 00:23:23,120
There's history between you.

377
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,520
You felt that he didn't respect you.

378
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,440
That he viewed you as a little more than
an office manager.

379
00:23:28,860 --> 00:23:30,560
Oh, water under the bridge.

380
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,600
We all have our grievances.

381
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:40,940
And if there's a chance we can do some
good by setting them aside, I say take

382
00:23:40,940 --> 00:23:41,779
that chance.

383
00:23:41,780 --> 00:23:45,300
Would you be telling me that if someone
other than Michael Cusack had come to

384
00:23:45,300 --> 00:23:46,300
you?

385
00:23:48,380 --> 00:23:51,300
Right. The prodigal son returned.

386
00:23:55,300 --> 00:23:57,160
Well, my hope is that you'll do it.

387
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,170
But I... Won't love you anyway.

388
00:24:06,990 --> 00:24:10,430
Roxanne, your ex -husband Dave Myers is
on the phone.

389
00:24:11,210 --> 00:24:12,210
Take a message.

390
00:24:16,350 --> 00:24:17,630
We're waiting for Laura's attorney.

391
00:24:17,870 --> 00:24:19,990
Anybody call his office yet? See where
he is?

392
00:24:20,290 --> 00:24:21,229
Her office.

393
00:24:21,230 --> 00:24:22,990
What'd you do? Change attorneys again?

394
00:24:23,370 --> 00:24:24,370
That's right.

395
00:24:25,010 --> 00:24:27,750
How much time do you think that'll buy
you? She doesn't need any time.

396
00:24:28,130 --> 00:24:31,020
Really? Got yourself a real hard
charger, did you?

397
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:32,480
I think I did.

398
00:24:33,420 --> 00:24:34,420
Who is it?

399
00:24:35,900 --> 00:24:36,900
Hello, Arnie.

400
00:24:39,180 --> 00:24:41,180
Abby? Long time no see.

401
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:42,820
You're Lauren's attorney.

402
00:24:43,300 --> 00:24:44,300
Is there a problem?

403
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,860
Yes, there is a problem. She used to
work here. Well, that is a problem. To

404
00:24:48,860 --> 00:24:52,480
extent that you have confidential
information about this firm gained

405
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,680
employment here, I'm quite sure your
partnership agreement precludes you from

406
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:56,680
making use of it.

407
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,080
You're Douglas' kid.

408
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,600
Right. My, how time flies.

409
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,360
First of all, I was never a partner
here, so there is no partnership

410
00:25:04,780 --> 00:25:08,720
Second of all, I left the firm ten years
before Arnie and Laura met, so any

411
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,380
information that I may have would be
woefully out of date.

412
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:12,600
Shall we proceed?

413
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:13,599
No, we shall not.

414
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,380
What firm are you with? Law Offices of
Abigail Perkins.

415
00:25:16,900 --> 00:25:18,020
You're a sole practitioner.

416
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,500
I have eight associates working for me.

417
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,080
Hi.

418
00:25:22,250 --> 00:25:26,570
This is a deposition of defendant
husband Arnold Becker to be conducted by

419
00:25:26,570 --> 00:25:31,090
plaintiff attorney Abigail Perkins. You
can stop typing because defendant

420
00:25:31,090 --> 00:25:34,570
husband Arnold Becker will be marching
into court to obtain a protective order

421
00:25:34,570 --> 00:25:39,170
barring said plaintiff attorney Abigail
Perkins from coming anywhere near this

422
00:25:39,170 --> 00:25:41,170
case. Unlikely you're going to get that,
Arnie.

423
00:25:42,790 --> 00:25:43,950
Nice to see you, Abby.

424
00:25:45,590 --> 00:25:46,650
Hey, Leland!

425
00:25:48,750 --> 00:25:49,750
Abby!

426
00:25:51,340 --> 00:25:53,580
Hey, how are you, kid? I'm great.

427
00:25:53,780 --> 00:25:55,160
Don't you look terrific?

428
00:25:55,620 --> 00:25:56,299
So do you.

429
00:25:56,300 --> 00:25:57,960
What are you up to these days?

430
00:25:58,340 --> 00:25:59,560
Well, I have my own practice.

431
00:25:59,820 --> 00:26:01,320
Great. What brings you here?

432
00:26:01,660 --> 00:26:04,580
As it happens, my office is representing
Arnie's wife and their divorce.

433
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,300
Lara Becker, Leland McKenzie. How do you
do?

434
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:13,000
How do you do? And I'm so happy to run
into you because I just happen to have a

435
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,000
subpoena for you.

436
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:19,240
What is it? To examine your tax returns
and financial records having to do with

437
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:20,400
the firm going back ten years.

438
00:26:20,780 --> 00:26:21,820
Great to see you, Leland.

439
00:26:26,940 --> 00:26:27,940
Adelaide?

440
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:29,920
That looks great.

441
00:26:31,220 --> 00:26:33,260
Is this real grass for grass?

442
00:26:33,860 --> 00:26:38,120
Well, I think the grass will turn brown,
sweetie. It'll probably be better off

443
00:26:38,120 --> 00:26:39,120
using crayons.

444
00:26:40,580 --> 00:26:41,539
Who's that?

445
00:26:41,540 --> 00:26:42,540
I don't know.

446
00:26:48,140 --> 00:26:49,140
Hi, Dave.

447
00:26:49,180 --> 00:26:50,180
Hey, Rox.

448
00:26:50,780 --> 00:26:53,980
I was having some difficulty getting
through to you at work. I was in the

449
00:26:53,980 --> 00:26:55,600
vicinity and thought I'd just drop by.

450
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:56,940
Hey, monkey head.

451
00:26:57,180 --> 00:27:00,140
You're a monkey head. No, you're a
monkey head. Okay, okay.

452
00:27:00,580 --> 00:27:02,540
Look, we're right in the middle of
homework here.

453
00:27:02,780 --> 00:27:06,220
Yes, you are, and I don't want to keep
you from the task at hand. What I was

454
00:27:06,220 --> 00:27:08,520
hoping is you might be free for dinner
tonight.

455
00:27:08,780 --> 00:27:10,560
I'm not. We have a project due.

456
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:11,699
Tomorrow night.

457
00:27:11,700 --> 00:27:12,700
Dinner's tough.

458
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,560
Lunch. You know, since I leave to pick
up Maddie early, I don't take lunch.

459
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:17,840
Breakfast? Breakfast.

460
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,180
Coffee. Happy office.

461
00:27:22,670 --> 00:27:23,670
Coffee it is.

462
00:27:25,890 --> 00:27:28,470
And how did you make a living at the
time of your arrest, Albert?

463
00:27:28,750 --> 00:27:29,750
I sold pot.

464
00:27:30,090 --> 00:27:33,070
Were you selling pot in the building
where Officer Scott Ellis was killed?

465
00:27:33,710 --> 00:27:34,790
Yes, I was.

466
00:27:36,210 --> 00:27:38,550
Did you kill Officer Ellis?

467
00:27:39,050 --> 00:27:40,050
No.

468
00:27:40,590 --> 00:27:41,590
No, I did not.

469
00:27:42,810 --> 00:27:46,190
Were you ever given the opportunity to
plead guilty in return for the state

470
00:27:46,190 --> 00:27:48,330
dropping their demands for a death
sentence?

471
00:27:48,850 --> 00:27:49,910
Objection. Irrelevant.

472
00:27:50,650 --> 00:27:51,650
Overruled.

473
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:54,480
Yes, I was.

474
00:27:54,900 --> 00:27:56,660
Do you regret not taking that off?

475
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,380
I regret a lot of things in my life,
Nelson.

476
00:28:04,660 --> 00:28:07,440
I regret not being a better father to my
kids.

477
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,060
A better husband.

478
00:28:11,260 --> 00:28:12,300
A better son.

479
00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:16,260
Do I regret not saying something that
wasn't true?

480
00:28:18,260 --> 00:28:19,260
No.

481
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,240
That I do not regret.

482
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:28,460
No further questions, Your Honor.

483
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,020
The police who arrested you also found a
gun in your apartment, did they not?

484
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:37,440
That wasn't my gun.

485
00:28:37,660 --> 00:28:40,280
This gun was proven to be the murder
weapon, was it not?

486
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:41,940
It wasn't my gun.

487
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,920
Your record indicates that in the past
you have carried a gun.

488
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:47,440
Yes, ma 'am.

489
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,940
But this one wasn't mine.

490
00:28:50,300 --> 00:28:53,900
And even though Officer Ellis was
investigating a complaint about drug

491
00:28:53,900 --> 00:28:56,320
and there were drugs in your apartment,
you...

492
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,900
Would never have used a gun to avoid
being arrested.

493
00:28:59,620 --> 00:29:00,660
No, I wouldn't have.

494
00:29:00,980 --> 00:29:03,780
You would have just let him arrest you
and send you back to prison.

495
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:05,520
Yes, ma 'am.

496
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,040
No further questions.

497
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,000
Any other witnesses, Mr. Cusack?

498
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,220
Not at this time, Your Honor.

499
00:29:18,180 --> 00:29:20,260
Well, in that case, we stand adjourned.

500
00:29:28,430 --> 00:29:29,430
Tired of being the boss?

501
00:29:31,170 --> 00:29:33,990
Actually, I couldn't resist the chance
to be in a room with you.

502
00:29:35,810 --> 00:29:38,830
Good. I hate to attribute it to the 6 o
'clock news.

503
00:29:41,470 --> 00:29:42,470
Attribute it to this.

504
00:29:42,850 --> 00:29:47,630
When Congressman Diebenkorn was DA, he
trusted me to try this case. I owe my

505
00:29:47,630 --> 00:29:53,090
being DA to winning it. I'm here to
protect my record and my reputation,

506
00:29:53,090 --> 00:29:54,910
which you will no doubt try to destroy.

507
00:29:55,830 --> 00:29:56,830
Have a nice night.

508
00:30:04,270 --> 00:30:06,750
You're going to strap him down and kill
him so you can score points for being a

509
00:30:06,750 --> 00:30:09,510
badass and maybe get to be a congressman
like the last DA, right? Raylene!

510
00:30:09,870 --> 00:30:12,230
This isn't the time for us to have a
conversation. Raylene, what should I do

511
00:30:12,230 --> 00:30:12,949
right now?

512
00:30:12,950 --> 00:30:13,990
They killed my father.

513
00:30:14,290 --> 00:30:17,130
You're going to answer for it. Yeah,
that's a threat. It's not a threat. We

514
00:30:17,130 --> 00:30:20,090
a cop over here. Grace, I promise she
won't hurt you. Just let her leave with

515
00:30:20,090 --> 00:30:21,090
me, okay?

516
00:30:22,630 --> 00:30:23,630
Go ahead.

517
00:30:24,270 --> 00:30:25,270
Come on, Raylene.

518
00:30:37,930 --> 00:30:40,550
Just finishing up some things for me,
and then she's all yours.

519
00:30:41,170 --> 00:30:42,830
You don't need a full -time secretary.

520
00:30:43,310 --> 00:30:47,690
Douglas was very definite that you
should have one. The photocopy room and

521
00:30:47,690 --> 00:30:51,290
library are in the same place they
always were. Do you remember where that

522
00:30:51,910 --> 00:30:52,910
Yeah, sure.

523
00:30:54,910 --> 00:30:56,590
Anything I can do, Mr. Kuzak?

524
00:30:57,310 --> 00:30:58,350
How much time do you have?

525
00:30:58,710 --> 00:31:00,190
Yeah, but okay, so I'll make time.

526
00:31:01,850 --> 00:31:03,570
Scott Ellis was the cop who was killed.

527
00:31:03,950 --> 00:31:05,630
His partner was Ronald Gerben.

528
00:31:06,140 --> 00:31:09,440
I was suspicious of Girvin all
throughout the trial. I could never find

529
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:10,239
on him.

530
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:11,240
Run a search.

531
00:31:11,580 --> 00:31:14,420
See if anyone filed a complaint against
him in the last nine years.

532
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,760
Or if he's even still with the
department. If he's not, find out why he

533
00:31:19,020 --> 00:31:19,999
You got it.

534
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,540
I actually have a friend that works at
the chief's office, so this should be

535
00:31:22,540 --> 00:31:23,860
fast. Fast is good.

536
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:25,680
Everything all right?

537
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,060
Like I never left. Anything you need,
Roxanne will take care of it.

538
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:30,960
I'd like to cover the cost of it.

539
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:32,240
That's quite all right.

540
00:31:32,460 --> 00:31:36,200
Douglas, I'm not a member of the firm.
Money's not a problem for me. The firm

541
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:37,200
will bear the cost.

542
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,880
I was just helping him move some boxes.

543
00:31:41,180 --> 00:31:42,180
Good.

544
00:31:45,140 --> 00:31:46,140
Deposition to 10.

545
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,160
What about the motion?

546
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:53,080
I had a conversation with the judge's
law clerk. He strongly advised against

547
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,280
motion and said we will not get Abby
Perkins disqualified.

548
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,560
Jason, what are you saying? He's saying
you're stuck with her.

549
00:32:07,020 --> 00:32:11,660
The amazing thing is I start telling
some of these younger guys the

550
00:32:11,660 --> 00:32:14,820
of research and direct marketing, and
their eyes just glaze over.

551
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:16,500
It's hard to imagine.

552
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:17,599
I know.

553
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:18,600
I know.

554
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,280
But all kinds of irons in the fire.

555
00:32:22,980 --> 00:32:23,959
That's great.

556
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:28,380
Office supplies, herbal breast
augmentation, sports collectibles.

557
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:34,720
Another thing I wanted to mention under
the heading of what's Dave up to now, I

558
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:35,720
have the big casino.

559
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:37,660
A .K .A. cancer.

560
00:32:39,580 --> 00:32:40,580
What?

561
00:32:40,780 --> 00:32:42,180
You heard right, little lady.

562
00:32:42,420 --> 00:32:45,060
Multiple myeloma, and it is metastatic.

563
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:49,600
Dave.

564
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,040
Ran the course of chemo.

565
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,880
Passed the point with surgeries of any
benefit.

566
00:32:55,880 --> 00:33:00,640
Oncologist can't pinpoint how much time
I have exactly, but he did say it's

567
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,580
probably best I don't buy too many green
bananas.

568
00:33:06,220 --> 00:33:07,220
I'm so sorry.

569
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:15,380
What I was hoping is that I might be
able to bunk down in your guest room for

570
00:33:15,380 --> 00:33:20,360
some of the time. I mean, my current
living situation being what it is, I

571
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,380
it's a little tricky being alone at
night.

572
00:33:25,700 --> 00:33:28,540
I can't do it.

573
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:30,720
Okay.

574
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,280
Hey, it's not like I asked you to fly to
Hawaii for a luau at Don Ho's.

575
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,140
Yeah, that's fine.

576
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:48,240
But I still want you to feel that you
can call me if you need anything

577
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,060
or if you just want to come over.

578
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:53,640
Great.

579
00:33:54,460 --> 00:33:55,460
Hug and kiss.

580
00:34:05,770 --> 00:34:07,250
Someone named Warren Matelka to see me.

581
00:34:08,090 --> 00:34:09,110
Warren Matelka?

582
00:34:10,409 --> 00:34:11,388
Who's he?

583
00:34:11,389 --> 00:34:12,770
He said a Belinda told him to come.

584
00:34:25,770 --> 00:34:27,290
You got Krispy Kreme?

585
00:34:28,429 --> 00:34:30,190
Yeah. Do I have one?

586
00:34:31,909 --> 00:34:34,710
They're the people who work here.

587
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:40,540
You can have one now.

588
00:34:49,900 --> 00:34:51,540
I get the Dale's.

589
00:34:52,179 --> 00:34:53,179
Dale's, don't I?

590
00:34:53,659 --> 00:34:56,580
Regulars, $5 .65 a dozen.

591
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,560
Dale's, $2 .50 a dozen.

592
00:34:59,860 --> 00:35:01,300
Aren't they stale? Yeah.

593
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:04,600
You Warren?

594
00:35:05,860 --> 00:35:08,060
Yeah. I'm Michael Kudak.

595
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:11,480
Should we go into my office?

596
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:15,120
I'll come.

597
00:35:15,460 --> 00:35:16,460
So we can talk.

598
00:35:16,900 --> 00:35:18,380
Can we talk here?

599
00:35:18,620 --> 00:35:20,840
Well, I think it would be better where
we have some privacy.

600
00:35:22,300 --> 00:35:24,000
Maybe I'll come back.

601
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:28,080
Benny.

602
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,160
You told the receptionist that Belinda
sent you here?

603
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:36,380
I have to go.

604
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,740
Are you a witness to the murder of that
cop, Warren?

605
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,960
To get out to the street, do I press 1
or L?

606
00:35:47,220 --> 00:35:48,920
L. There is no 1.

607
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,160
Benny, maybe you want to talk to Warren.

608
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,060
Tell him a man's life may depend on his
telling the truth.

609
00:36:02,540 --> 00:36:06,660
Are you going to stand here?

610
00:36:10,830 --> 00:36:11,830
I'll be in my office.

611
00:36:16,470 --> 00:36:17,470
He's mean.

612
00:36:18,610 --> 00:36:21,570
I've known him a long time. He's never
been mean to me.

613
00:36:26,270 --> 00:36:27,370
He won't hurt you.

614
00:36:29,250 --> 00:36:30,530
Nobody will hurt you.

615
00:36:35,710 --> 00:36:39,310
And, uh, I saw, uh...

616
00:36:40,010 --> 00:36:45,070
a flash from a window on the fourth
floor across the courtyard.

617
00:36:45,690 --> 00:36:48,690
Oren, did you see who was in the fourth
floor window?

618
00:36:49,350 --> 00:36:51,070
Somebody not Albert Hutchinson.

619
00:36:51,410 --> 00:36:52,430
Did you tell this to anyone?

620
00:36:53,670 --> 00:36:59,210
Well, first to Belinda. Only, don't be
mad at her. She only lied because

621
00:36:59,210 --> 00:37:03,930
Dumbledore made her. She wanted me to
tell Dumbledore what I saw, so he

622
00:37:03,930 --> 00:37:05,430
make her, but he still made her.

623
00:37:05,650 --> 00:37:06,650
Who's Dumbledore?

624
00:37:06,770 --> 00:37:08,770
Oh, Mike from Harry Potter.

625
00:37:11,890 --> 00:37:15,110
Warren, is all of this something you
read in Harry Potter?

626
00:37:15,910 --> 00:37:19,950
No, he was only like Dumbledore from
Harry Potter.

627
00:37:20,290 --> 00:37:21,570
Do you know what he's talking about?

628
00:37:22,270 --> 00:37:23,410
Albus Dumbledore.

629
00:37:24,230 --> 00:37:25,490
I don't know who that is, Benny.

630
00:37:25,850 --> 00:37:27,150
He was head of Hogwarts.

631
00:37:27,530 --> 00:37:32,770
Yeah, he was good and nice, but the man
that I went to see wasn't. So he wasn't

632
00:37:32,770 --> 00:37:34,530
really like Dumbledore then?

633
00:37:34,770 --> 00:37:39,490
No, no, his name was like Dumbledore,
but he wasn't like Dumbledore.

634
00:37:39,900 --> 00:37:46,480
He had no beard and two flags behind his
desk, and his name

635
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:52,600
was... Oh, like Dumbledore, but not
Dumbledore.

636
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,380
Diebenkorn? Yeah, yeah, Diebenkorn.

637
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,320
He was the district attorney.

638
00:37:58,720 --> 00:38:01,120
I told Diebenkorn.

639
00:38:06,940 --> 00:38:09,320
Vous avez un petit surprise, monsieur.

640
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:14,120
Aston Martin is gorgeous, although
possibly too fastidious in its

641
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:19,900
The GTO is edgy, but possibly pathetic.

642
00:38:20,420 --> 00:38:21,420
Your wife is here.

643
00:38:22,860 --> 00:38:24,420
Here? Hi, Ernie.

644
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,960
Hey, I'm going to go busy myself with
any one of a thousand things now.

645
00:38:38,890 --> 00:38:40,410
I wanted to come here without my lawyer.

646
00:38:41,010 --> 00:38:42,130
See if we can end this.

647
00:38:42,830 --> 00:38:45,870
Afraid you'll end up with Neiman Marcus
behind the counter selling perfume to

648
00:38:45,870 --> 00:38:47,110
women who are still being kept.

649
00:38:48,790 --> 00:38:52,390
I'm afraid I'll wind up spending more
time getting divorced than I could being

650
00:38:52,390 --> 00:38:53,390
married.

651
00:38:55,370 --> 00:38:57,570
You have a proposal, Laura?

652
00:38:58,870 --> 00:39:02,290
I thought we could sell the house and
split the money. I'll keep my Mercedes.

653
00:39:02,530 --> 00:39:06,330
You'll keep the rest of the cars. As for
the arts, I like the O 'Keeffe and the

654
00:39:06,330 --> 00:39:08,980
Schnabel. You can have everything else.

655
00:39:09,660 --> 00:39:10,660
Why this novel?

656
00:39:10,980 --> 00:39:12,100
Because I found it.

657
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:13,960
And because I love it.

658
00:39:14,260 --> 00:39:16,500
Well, sleep with him. Maybe you can get
yourself another one.

659
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,740
Although you might have to come across
with a different sex act every month.

660
00:39:19,780 --> 00:39:22,320
Kind of a Harry and David's Fruit of the
Month Club.

661
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,980
You know, Ernie, when I met you, I knew
you were a little boy.

662
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,020
I fell in love with you anyway.

663
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,840
There was this happy devilish glint in
your eye.

664
00:39:38,380 --> 00:39:40,080
And I guess I wanted a little boy.

665
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:42,480
Really?

666
00:39:43,940 --> 00:39:45,700
You're not a little boy anymore, aren't
you?

667
00:39:48,020 --> 00:39:49,820
You've turned into a bitter old man.

668
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:08,230
I want you to tell the court if on
September the 3rd, 1990, at about...

669
00:40:08,230 --> 00:40:09,230
'clock in the afternoon.

670
00:40:09,750 --> 00:40:11,090
You saw anything unusual?

671
00:40:11,630 --> 00:40:17,370
Yeah. I saw a man in a window shoot a
policeman in the courtyard.

672
00:40:17,690 --> 00:40:19,570
Do you recognize that man in the
courtroom today?

673
00:40:21,570 --> 00:40:22,570
No.

674
00:40:23,610 --> 00:40:27,150
Now, Warren, I want you to look very
carefully at Albert Hutchinson.

675
00:40:28,930 --> 00:40:34,090
And I'd like you to tell the court how
it is you're sure that's not the man you

676
00:40:34,090 --> 00:40:35,090
saw in the window.

677
00:40:36,780 --> 00:40:39,040
The man I saw wasn't black.

678
00:40:40,240 --> 00:40:41,420
Did you tell anyone that?

679
00:40:42,340 --> 00:40:44,200
Yeah, I told it to Mr.

680
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,020
Diebenkort. And where did that take
place?

681
00:40:48,820 --> 00:40:50,200
In his office.

682
00:40:50,980 --> 00:40:56,300
Your Honor, I have here a certified copy
of the sign -in sheet for the Hall of

683
00:40:56,300 --> 00:41:01,220
Justice dated September the 5th, 1990,
on which is found Warren Matelka's

684
00:41:01,220 --> 00:41:02,220
signature.

685
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,800
I ask that it be marked Defense Exhibit
Number 1.

686
00:41:05,240 --> 00:41:07,640
Reserve question of reliability and
relevance.

687
00:41:09,700 --> 00:41:11,020
What did Mark tell me?

688
00:41:13,180 --> 00:41:18,820
Warren. What? If anything, do you
remember Mr. Diebenkorn saying to you

689
00:41:18,820 --> 00:41:19,920
you told him what you saw?

690
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,360
Oh, he said not to say anything else to
anybody.

691
00:41:25,240 --> 00:41:26,240
Thank you, Warren.

692
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,160
I have no further questions.

693
00:41:34,190 --> 00:41:36,830
You kept silent a pretty long time, Mr.
Matelka.

694
00:41:37,650 --> 00:41:39,350
Can you tell us why that is?

695
00:41:41,590 --> 00:41:42,590
Well, Mr.

696
00:41:43,170 --> 00:41:44,750
Diebenkorn said not to say anything.

697
00:41:45,670 --> 00:41:47,270
I know, that's what you said.

698
00:41:47,710 --> 00:41:53,430
But didn't it strike you as odd when
nothing else happened and a different

699
00:41:53,430 --> 00:41:57,450
from the one you say you saw was
convicted and sentenced to death?

700
00:42:01,890 --> 00:42:03,070
I don't know.

701
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:04,640
You don't know.

702
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:05,979
Did Mr.

703
00:42:05,980 --> 00:42:11,600
Cusack tell you that he wanted to put
you on the witness stand and have

704
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:12,620
listen to you?

705
00:42:13,980 --> 00:42:19,040
Yes. And did he tell you that if he wins
his case, you'd be the hero?

706
00:42:23,620 --> 00:42:29,800
No. He said I'd be doing an important
thing.

707
00:42:32,140 --> 00:42:34,300
How do you support yourself, Mr.
Matelka?

708
00:42:35,220 --> 00:42:37,040
I get checks.

709
00:42:37,460 --> 00:42:38,800
From where do you get checks?

710
00:42:39,180 --> 00:42:40,180
From my mailbox.

711
00:42:41,580 --> 00:42:43,580
Who sends you these checks?

712
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:48,740
Oh, the Department of Social Services.

713
00:42:49,180 --> 00:42:50,580
What do you get them for?

714
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:52,880
For being disabled.

715
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:54,460
Physically disabled?

716
00:42:55,580 --> 00:42:56,640
Mentally disabled.

717
00:42:58,180 --> 00:42:59,300
Mentally disabled.

718
00:43:04,300 --> 00:43:05,300
Thank you.

719
00:43:06,820 --> 00:43:08,220
I have no further questions.

720
00:43:09,740 --> 00:43:11,440
Thank you. You may step down.

721
00:43:13,660 --> 00:43:17,260
Your Honor, given that the issue of
suppression of key evidence has been

722
00:43:17,460 --> 00:43:20,360
I would ask for a stay of execution and
it might be further substantiated.

723
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:24,400
Further substantiated? What we've heard
to this point hasn't been substantiated.

724
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:28,920
It's been an allegation from one
individual about an event that there is

725
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,080
independent record of ever having
occurred.

726
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,040
I'm asking for 30 days.

727
00:43:33,610 --> 00:43:35,550
If you're going to kill him, what
difference does it make whether you kill

728
00:43:35,550 --> 00:43:39,210
in one week or four weeks? Mr. Cusack,
you will address the court and not Ms.

729
00:43:39,310 --> 00:43:40,288
Van Owen.

730
00:43:40,290 --> 00:43:43,570
I'm sorry, Your Honor. I was interested
in seeing exactly what Ms. Van Owen's

731
00:43:43,570 --> 00:43:44,570
objections were.

732
00:43:45,190 --> 00:43:46,190
Ms. Van Owen.

733
00:43:49,810 --> 00:43:51,670
I don't have any objections, Your Honor.

734
00:43:52,770 --> 00:43:53,770
You don't, huh?

735
00:43:54,510 --> 00:43:58,030
Well, on the basis of this one witness,
I'm not granting any stays.

736
00:43:58,450 --> 00:43:59,450
You stand to judge.

737
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:08,600
Not to worry, Albert.

738
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:14,500
Ron Gervin retired in 1999 with a
departmental charge of planting evidence

739
00:44:14,500 --> 00:44:18,400
pending. His conduct provided grounds of
a reversal for a major narcotics

740
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:19,400
conviction.

741
00:44:21,100 --> 00:44:22,100
Who is the attorney?

742
00:44:22,420 --> 00:44:25,280
His name's Eli Levinson. He actually
used to work for Mackenzie Brackman,

743
00:44:25,300 --> 00:44:26,300
although after he left.

744
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,740
And he's not an attorney anymore.

745
00:44:29,060 --> 00:44:30,060
What does he do?

746
00:44:30,240 --> 00:44:31,240
I'm the producer.

747
00:44:31,420 --> 00:44:33,020
He stinks. Just fire him.

748
00:44:34,420 --> 00:44:35,920
Ricky, where's the terror?

749
00:44:36,700 --> 00:44:39,800
There's Nazis at the door, not the guy
to read the meter. Eli, if you're going

750
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,920
to testify, I need time to prepare you.
People say I was crazy to produce

751
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,860
another version, but I say the Holocaust
is a story you can't tell too many

752
00:44:45,860 --> 00:44:49,280
times. My client is going to be executed
in six days. Where's my sesame bagel?

753
00:44:49,340 --> 00:44:50,340
Are you going to testify or not?

754
00:44:52,300 --> 00:44:54,620
I know you blame me for losing all this
money.

755
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:57,240
No. You should.

756
00:44:57,460 --> 00:44:58,520
It's me who's responsible.

757
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,540
Ann, you're the Indian scout.

758
00:45:04,410 --> 00:45:08,050
You go off into the wild and you see
what's out there and then you come back

759
00:45:08,050 --> 00:45:11,790
the fort And you convinced our guild me
to come along with you.

760
00:45:12,310 --> 00:45:16,510
I think we've had a pretty good life
doing it that way Maybe I should have

761
00:45:16,510 --> 00:45:20,450
while we were ahead Don't ever quit

762
00:45:20,450 --> 00:45:26,850
So, what do we do

763
00:45:26,850 --> 00:45:31,470
I think we see what assets he has to
free and we march in court we reason

764
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:39,260
Oh, pardon me. What time is the Max
Bettencourt meeting? Oh, my God, I

765
00:45:39,260 --> 00:45:40,178
all about that.

766
00:45:40,180 --> 00:45:41,138
Can I wait?

767
00:45:41,140 --> 00:45:42,240
Uh, call him.

768
00:45:42,460 --> 00:45:44,760
Tell him I had to run to court and I'll
see him tomorrow.

769
00:45:45,100 --> 00:45:46,100
All right.

770
00:45:46,540 --> 00:45:47,940
No problem.

771
00:45:48,860 --> 00:45:49,860
Then we're gonna have kids.

772
00:45:50,140 --> 00:45:51,620
Yeah, well, it's probably good you
didn't.

773
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:53,680
Might have kept us together.

774
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,000
I doubt it.

775
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,320
She said I was old, Rox.

776
00:45:58,860 --> 00:46:01,800
She's 29, Arnie. To her, you are old.

777
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:03,800
Come on. You can't mean that.

778
00:46:04,140 --> 00:46:05,760
Well... Older than her.

779
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,720
Can I come in late tomorrow, then?

780
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:12,040
How come?

781
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:13,400
Really.

782
00:46:15,100 --> 00:46:21,420
It's the anniversary of when my mom
died, and there's a memorial mass, and I

783
00:46:21,420 --> 00:46:23,140
want to go to the cemetery.

784
00:46:23,580 --> 00:46:25,340
Sure. Thanks.

785
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:31,700
How old is he?

786
00:46:33,240 --> 00:46:34,240
Fifty -two.

787
00:46:35,220 --> 00:46:36,220
52.

788
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:40,180
What's with Dave?

789
00:46:41,900 --> 00:46:42,900
What do you mean?

790
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:47,640
I mean, he looks terrible. Is he all
right?

791
00:46:50,620 --> 00:46:51,620
No.

792
00:46:54,460 --> 00:46:55,460
That.

793
00:47:00,820 --> 00:47:02,060
He has cancer.

794
00:47:15,660 --> 00:47:18,540
Take as much time at the cemetery as you
need, Benny.

795
00:47:18,860 --> 00:47:20,020
I'll be in by 11.

796
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,760
I remember that you took care of your
mom before she died.

797
00:47:25,780 --> 00:47:31,200
Yeah. You moved her bed to the first
floor so she wouldn't have to go up the

798
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:32,200
stairs.

799
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,040
And you read her the comics.

800
00:47:35,860 --> 00:47:41,460
She liked There Ought to Be a Law and
Mary Worth and Blondie.

801
00:47:42,340 --> 00:47:44,300
I'm sure that did her a world of good.

802
00:47:44,890 --> 00:47:46,230
You fleeting turf.

803
00:47:48,050 --> 00:47:51,630
I don't know if that did her any good on
account that she died.

804
00:47:53,110 --> 00:47:54,550
I'm glad I did it, though.

805
00:48:08,850 --> 00:48:12,090
What am I doing here if Ann's not here?

806
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:16,240
Well, this Eisendrath woman accused you
of bribing the alcoholic beverage

807
00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:18,460
control board in a statement outside
court, right?

808
00:48:19,220 --> 00:48:25,100
So, what do you say? To discourage her
from continuing to cause problems, sue

809
00:48:25,100 --> 00:48:26,560
her for defamation.

810
00:48:28,020 --> 00:48:30,520
Well, aren't you a little spitfire?

811
00:48:31,740 --> 00:48:32,820
Yes, I am.

812
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:41,220
Are you familiar with an individual
named Ronald Girvin? Yes, I am.

813
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,380
Would you tell us in what context you
are familiar with him?

814
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:49,000
In my former life as a criminal defense
attorney, I handled an appeal on behalf

815
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,820
of a guy named Nathan Miles who was
convicted of cocaine possession.

816
00:48:52,740 --> 00:48:57,380
Ronnie Girvin was the arresting officer,
and I got the convictions thrown out by

817
00:48:57,380 --> 00:48:59,320
demonstrating that the evidence was
planted.

818
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:03,160
Your Honor, I ask that this entire line
of questioning be stricken as

819
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:06,820
irrelevant. I ask the court's indulgence
to demonstrate relevance, Your Honor.

820
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:10,060
I'm willing to grant some leeway. Just
get there soon.

821
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,220
Was Ronald Girvin fired from the police
department?

822
00:49:13,540 --> 00:49:15,280
No, he wasn't. Why was that?

823
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:19,860
Mr. Girvin enjoyed the friendship and
protection of former District Attorney

824
00:49:19,860 --> 00:49:24,680
Diebenkorn. Your Honor, we're now
hearing testimony that is irrelevant,

825
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:26,700
and constitutes defamation of character.

826
00:49:27,060 --> 00:49:28,080
No further questions, Your Honor.

827
00:49:28,420 --> 00:49:29,420
Objection sustained.

828
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:30,760
Stricken.

829
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:37,860
Are you aware of the fact that the Ruger
357 was found in Mr. Hutchinson's

830
00:49:37,860 --> 00:49:42,150
apartment? Yes, I was aware. Although,
I'm sure you're aware, District Attorney

831
00:49:42,150 --> 00:49:45,510
Van Owen, that guns are the most common
piece of evidence to be planted. Ask if

832
00:49:45,510 --> 00:49:49,130
the witness's remarks be stricken other
than those directly responsive to the

833
00:49:49,130 --> 00:49:53,350
question. So stricken. The witness will
confine his remarks to answering the

834
00:49:53,350 --> 00:49:54,350
questions he's asked.

835
00:49:55,650 --> 00:49:57,430
I have no further questions, Your Honor.

836
00:49:58,090 --> 00:49:59,090
You may step down.

837
00:49:59,770 --> 00:50:02,010
We stand adjourned until 9 a .m.
tomorrow.

838
00:50:15,850 --> 00:50:21,630
I'll go to my partner's, we don't...
Ronnie, you're a disgrace as a cop.

839
00:50:22,470 --> 00:50:25,130
But you throw this poor woman up to me,
it makes me sick to my stomach.

840
00:50:31,830 --> 00:50:32,788
Who's that?

841
00:50:32,790 --> 00:50:36,230
Thanks. Coming down here is the best
thing I've done since a sock woman's any

842
00:50:36,230 --> 00:50:38,430
miniseries. Thanks for doing it. You got
it.

843
00:50:38,770 --> 00:50:39,729
All righty.

844
00:50:39,730 --> 00:50:40,730
Where's the car?

845
00:50:41,710 --> 00:50:45,410
I have to hand it to you, Michael, with
absolutely nothing to go on. You're

846
00:50:45,410 --> 00:50:46,930
actually making up a case.

847
00:50:47,190 --> 00:50:48,190
Gee, thanks.

848
00:50:48,990 --> 00:50:50,150
I'll pay you a couple.

849
00:50:56,650 --> 00:50:57,650
Yeah.

850
00:51:00,410 --> 00:51:03,410
I've been through the saccharides and
slaughter cases.

851
00:51:03,690 --> 00:51:05,290
Those are the ones with the pressing
motions pending.

852
00:51:05,850 --> 00:51:06,850
So I'm done.

853
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,140
Is that a legal pad of shield to ward
off advances?

854
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,220
I was actually planning on using it to
take notes.

855
00:51:16,180 --> 00:51:17,840
Oh, good. Notes. Okay.

856
00:51:18,620 --> 00:51:20,460
All right. Here we go. Sit.

857
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:30,200
Check on availability of cottages at the
San Ysidro Ranch. First choice being

858
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:33,400
the JFA suite. Excuse me, Arnie.

859
00:51:33,900 --> 00:51:35,240
Abigail Perkins is here.

860
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:36,980
A vec entourage.

861
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:39,320
With her people.

862
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:43,680
Abby.

863
00:51:49,060 --> 00:51:50,160
Abby, what is this?

864
00:51:50,780 --> 00:51:54,340
These are forensic accountants.
Attorneys and paralegals working for me.

865
00:51:54,340 --> 00:51:56,860
are here pursuant to a discovery motion
to go through records.

866
00:51:57,100 --> 00:51:58,520
I let Douglas know they're here.

867
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:00,640
Would you come into my office for a
minute?

868
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:03,860
Just Abby, please, Arnie.

869
00:52:09,580 --> 00:52:11,120
Hey, what's doing, Arnie? Hey, Dave.

870
00:52:13,100 --> 00:52:16,640
You think you're entitled to turn this
firm upside down? If Arnie had responded

871
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:20,260
to the subpoena in a timely fashion, we
wouldn't have to. And in any event, it's

872
00:52:20,260 --> 00:52:23,060
Mrs. Becker who's entitled, Douglas.
Don't hand me that champion of the

873
00:52:23,060 --> 00:52:24,060
downtrodden routine.

874
00:52:24,260 --> 00:52:27,560
You're here to get back at the firm for
what you imagined was done to you while

875
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:28,519
you worked here.

876
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,060
That would be more in the nature of a
bonus.

877
00:52:30,540 --> 00:52:31,540
Here's what you get, Abby.

878
00:52:31,820 --> 00:52:36,240
Nothing. No accounts receivable, no tax
returns, no retainer agreements.

879
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,120
Nothing. You understand there'll be
sanctions imposed.

880
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:40,399
I don't care.

881
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:41,400
Oh, my.

882
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:45,300
Douglas Brackman standing on principle
even when it costs him money.

883
00:52:45,900 --> 00:52:49,520
If I didn't know you better, I'd admire
you. You gonna take us on, Abby? I think

884
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:51,480
that's what I'm doing. Good. Take us on.

885
00:52:52,500 --> 00:52:53,920
See you in court, Douglas. Good.

886
00:53:02,140 --> 00:53:04,020
Is it all right that I drop by?

887
00:53:04,540 --> 00:53:05,540
Sure.

888
00:53:06,190 --> 00:53:07,870
I set up the guest room.

889
00:53:08,190 --> 00:53:12,690
There's a TV, a VCR, a phone. There are
clean linens on the bed.

890
00:53:13,850 --> 00:53:14,890
What can I buy?

891
00:53:16,270 --> 00:53:17,270
Nothing.

892
00:53:17,510 --> 00:53:18,990
Rocks? No, Dave, nothing.

893
00:53:19,210 --> 00:53:20,330
I don't need money.

894
00:53:20,590 --> 00:53:22,130
I don't need you to buy things.

895
00:53:24,210 --> 00:53:28,510
I have an extra key made up, so whenever
you want to go back there.

896
00:53:31,810 --> 00:53:32,810
Thanks.

897
00:53:33,150 --> 00:53:34,550
Rocks? Oh, excuse me.

898
00:53:35,240 --> 00:53:36,240
Have you seen Chloe?

899
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:37,960
Hey, Dave.

900
00:53:38,420 --> 00:53:39,420
Ann.

901
00:53:42,460 --> 00:53:43,460
Are you all right?

902
00:53:44,420 --> 00:53:46,680
Yeah, yeah, just a little bit under the
weather.

903
00:53:50,100 --> 00:53:52,760
How's everything in direct mail? Yeah,
she just left in.

904
00:53:53,100 --> 00:53:54,480
There's an urgent call for you.

905
00:53:58,440 --> 00:53:59,440
Hello?

906
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:01,260
Whoa, slow down, Harley.

907
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:03,200
Who told you we were filing a lawsuit?

908
00:54:03,870 --> 00:54:05,210
Always something, isn't it?

909
00:54:07,370 --> 00:54:13,090
I told him that if his client continued
to harass our client, we'd sue her for

910
00:54:13,090 --> 00:54:14,090
harassment.

911
00:54:14,470 --> 00:54:16,390
Money on either side of me I take on the
world.

912
00:54:16,750 --> 00:54:20,310
Max, you beat up on that woman, you
alienate everyone you need to get your

913
00:54:20,310 --> 00:54:21,310
restaurant up and running.

914
00:54:21,410 --> 00:54:25,050
Ann, please, I wasn't planning on
beating up on her. I simply thought a

915
00:54:25,050 --> 00:54:28,010
intimidation might make her think twice
about filing another lawsuit.

916
00:54:28,700 --> 00:54:32,220
You think anything you want in the
confines of this office, you tell an

917
00:54:32,220 --> 00:54:34,060
attorney what you think, there are
consequences.

918
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:35,940
Why are you talking to me like I'm a
child?

919
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,420
Chloe, it was a difference in approach.
No harm done. No harm done.

920
00:54:40,780 --> 00:54:44,980
Well, Max, maybe this is as good a time
as any for you to decide which approach

921
00:54:44,980 --> 00:54:45,799
you want to take.

922
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:46,698
Wait a minute.

923
00:54:46,700 --> 00:54:50,620
Max pays this firm to represent him. As
long as that's the case, he's not doing

924
00:54:50,620 --> 00:54:52,600
anything I deem inimical to his best
interest.

925
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:56,680
What I'm suggesting, Anne, is that Max
may want me.

926
00:54:58,380 --> 00:55:01,320
Chloe, darling, I think you're smarter
to whip.

927
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:05,220
I gotta choose who's my lawyer and my
lawyer.

928
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:08,960
What?

929
00:55:16,100 --> 00:55:20,360
You realize that by placing liens on my
client's property, you're leaving

930
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:21,560
yourself open to a lawsuit.

931
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:26,080
I'm a tax attorney, Mr. Singh. I have
records and receipts from when I buy

932
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:27,880
shaving cream. You think I can't prove
this?

933
00:55:28,270 --> 00:55:32,350
Well, you should factor into your
expectations of prevailing a trial

934
00:55:32,350 --> 00:55:34,210
ability to make people love him.

935
00:55:34,830 --> 00:55:37,890
Aaron, could you excuse us for a moment?

936
00:55:39,810 --> 00:55:40,810
Of course.

937
00:55:47,870 --> 00:55:54,610
I have to say that right now I feel
great sadness.

938
00:55:55,630 --> 00:55:57,090
Do you have the money, Cyril?

939
00:55:58,830 --> 00:56:00,930
I'm sorry if I've done things that were
hurtful.

940
00:56:01,170 --> 00:56:02,170
Sorry's not going to do it.

941
00:56:03,150 --> 00:56:04,550
Is there anything that does?

942
00:56:05,250 --> 00:56:06,250
Pay the money.

943
00:56:07,910 --> 00:56:09,250
I don't have the money.

944
00:56:10,010 --> 00:56:11,250
Then we'll see you in court.

945
00:56:16,250 --> 00:56:19,590
So, if they insist on taking this to
court... Hello.

946
00:56:20,590 --> 00:56:22,950
Hello. See, am I right?

947
00:56:23,990 --> 00:56:24,990
Right.

948
00:56:25,230 --> 00:56:27,710
No, uh, bag of what they sing, by any
chance?

949
00:56:29,220 --> 00:56:30,980
Novelty importer from Woodland Hills.

950
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:32,640
Doesn't ring a bell.

951
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:36,040
Was today a good day for you?

952
00:56:37,940 --> 00:56:38,940
How do you mean?

953
00:56:39,060 --> 00:56:43,080
I can see that you're not well. I wanted
to know if today was a good day for

954
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:44,080
you.

955
00:56:45,300 --> 00:56:46,300
No.

956
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:48,460
No, it wasn't a good day.

957
00:56:56,240 --> 00:56:57,500
I know you're afraid.

958
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:09,640
Congressman Diebenkorn, we've heard
testimony from a Warren Matelka that he

959
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:13,800
to your office and gave you his
eyewitness account of Officer Scott

960
00:57:14,020 --> 00:57:15,020
murder.

961
00:57:15,100 --> 00:57:16,440
Is that true, Congressman?

962
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:18,160
No, it isn't.

963
00:57:18,500 --> 00:57:23,060
But my adversary has produced the sign
-in sheet on which Mr. Matelka's name is

964
00:57:23,060 --> 00:57:27,440
recorded indicating that he was going to
see you. Now, how is that possible?

965
00:57:27,900 --> 00:57:30,920
Well, he could have claimed to have a
delivery, could have claimed to have an

966
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:31,920
appointment.

967
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:35,760
Lobby wasn't where they verified those
things. He could have come in, wandered

968
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:36,760
around the building and left.

969
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,580
Ten years ago, security wasn't what it
is today.

970
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:45,840
Congressman, can you imagine any
circumstances under which you as a

971
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,960
would have concealed evidence because it
benefited the defense?

972
00:57:49,900 --> 00:57:50,960
No, I can't.

973
00:57:51,980 --> 00:57:55,620
Now, I understand that this fellow who
claims to have given me the statement is

974
00:57:55,620 --> 00:57:59,420
mentally challenged and maybe he
conjured this up somehow and...

975
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:03,760
I understand the desperation of Mr.
Hutchinson here to avoid the death

976
00:58:03,900 --> 00:58:06,600
but what I find appalling is that Mr.

977
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:11,840
Cusack, an officer of this court, would
propound lies that impugn not only me,

978
00:58:11,980 --> 00:58:14,020
but the office in which I served.

979
00:58:14,820 --> 00:58:15,820
Thank you, Congressman.

980
00:58:16,780 --> 00:58:18,180
I have no further questions.

981
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:26,260
I have no questions right now, Your
Honor, but I do reserve the right to

982
00:58:26,260 --> 00:58:27,480
this witness at a later time.

983
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:34,820
He's a real charmer.

984
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:36,400
He's a decent guy.

985
00:58:36,740 --> 00:58:37,740
I don't think so.

986
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:39,540
I know you don't.

987
00:58:41,620 --> 00:58:43,560
Can I still ride in the elevator with
you?

988
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:50,040
Why

989
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:58,460
did

990
00:58:58,460 --> 00:59:03,100
I put together a manufacturer of votive
candles?

991
00:59:03,980 --> 00:59:06,300
And a bankrupt soft drink bottler.

992
00:59:07,060 --> 00:59:08,060
No idea.

993
00:59:08,740 --> 00:59:11,640
I guess that there was a market for wax
candy lips.

994
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:16,100
Stuart may not be seeing the point of
that, Dave.

995
00:59:16,900 --> 00:59:18,260
What's your con here, Cyril?

996
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:22,440
This guy doesn't need anybody working
him right now. You want to put your hand

997
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:24,600
in someone's pocket? Do it to someone
who's healthy.

998
00:59:26,540 --> 00:59:28,220
Maybe it's best if I'm not here.

999
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:29,440
Yeah, maybe it is.

1000
00:59:46,990 --> 00:59:50,010
I spent my whole life pulling the wool
over somebody's eyes.

1001
00:59:50,750 --> 00:59:52,490
Everyone I met was a customer.

1002
00:59:52,970 --> 00:59:55,270
Every conversation was a sales meeting.

1003
00:59:55,550 --> 01:00:00,650
But as much as I prided myself on
walking away with the bigger half of the

1004
01:00:00,650 --> 01:00:04,430
wishbone, I never left anyone empty
-handed.

1005
01:00:06,550 --> 01:00:09,670
Now, Cyril got something. There's no
question about that.

1006
01:00:10,950 --> 01:00:12,970
But he also gave something.

1007
01:00:14,610 --> 01:00:16,150
What he got,

1008
01:00:17,330 --> 01:00:24,150
was for me to cover his debt to you, but
what he gave me was a

1009
01:00:24,150 --> 01:00:25,290
means to die in peace.

1010
01:00:26,230 --> 01:00:27,230
Wait a minute, Dave.

1011
01:00:27,510 --> 01:00:30,670
Stuart, look on the bureau, please.

1012
01:00:33,950 --> 01:00:39,050
There's a bank draft for $327 ,000 made
out to you and Annie.

1013
01:00:39,550 --> 01:00:42,470
That should cover the gift tax and the
$250 ,000 you lost.

1014
01:00:43,530 --> 01:00:44,810
Why are you doing this, Dave?

1015
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,100
I don't want you and Cyril to fight
anymore.

1016
01:00:49,500 --> 01:00:51,220
Just take the money and be friends.

1017
01:00:51,580 --> 01:00:52,940
You know we can't take this.

1018
01:00:55,520 --> 01:01:00,480
I, uh... I really need to close my eyes
for a while.

1019
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:08,240
Roxanne, have you seen Jason?

1020
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:09,359
No, I haven't.

1021
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:10,700
We'll have to do this without him.

1022
01:01:10,940 --> 01:01:13,120
We also have to discuss the Chloe
situation.

1023
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:17,720
I have a feeling the Arnie divorce
situation takes precedence. You're

1024
01:01:18,140 --> 01:01:22,500
I don't take kindly to getting dragged
into people's divorces. I think I'm

1025
01:01:22,500 --> 01:01:24,220
totally reasonable under the
circumstances.

1026
01:01:24,660 --> 01:01:25,900
You're fighting over dogs.

1027
01:01:26,140 --> 01:01:27,400
It's a big picture strategy.

1028
01:01:27,780 --> 01:01:30,900
I waffle on the dog, she drives a truck
to me on the partnership.

1029
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:32,480
Which he seems to be doing anyway.

1030
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:35,560
Who in this room has been a matrimonial
attorney for 20 years?

1031
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:39,960
But you're acting like a client, Arnold.
Like someone who's going through a

1032
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:41,840
divorce. And a painful one at that.

1033
01:01:42,410 --> 01:01:43,690
Oh, thank you, Dr. Phil.

1034
01:01:44,170 --> 01:01:45,410
Here's what it comes down to, Arnie.

1035
01:01:46,030 --> 01:01:49,550
This firm is not going to join you in
lying still for a colonoscopy with the

1036
01:01:49,550 --> 01:01:51,390
likes of Abby Perkins holding the probe.

1037
01:01:51,810 --> 01:01:55,350
Whatever issues you have with your wife
need to be resolved, and they need to be

1038
01:01:55,350 --> 01:01:56,350
resolved now.

1039
01:01:56,530 --> 01:02:00,450
You're a managing partner in this firm,
Douglas. It comes to my marriage, my

1040
01:02:00,450 --> 01:02:02,690
divorce, or my colonoscopy.

1041
01:02:03,050 --> 01:02:04,310
You have nothing to say.

1042
01:02:08,130 --> 01:02:09,130
What about Chloe?

1043
01:02:09,970 --> 01:02:12,650
She tried to take Max Bettencourt away
from us. Fire.

1044
01:02:13,230 --> 01:02:14,390
Sexual harassment.

1045
01:02:15,050 --> 01:02:18,090
What are you talking about, Stuart?
There's no sexual harassment here. Yeah,

1046
01:02:18,090 --> 01:02:19,790
that doesn't mean she won't sue us for
it.

1047
01:02:20,050 --> 01:02:23,430
He was an important client. He came on
to me. I was made to feel I had no

1048
01:02:23,430 --> 01:02:24,430
but to oblige him.

1049
01:02:24,570 --> 01:02:27,910
Not to mention the fact that if Arnie so
much as said good morning to her during

1050
01:02:27,910 --> 01:02:29,890
her time here, there's ample cause for
action right there.

1051
01:02:30,130 --> 01:02:31,130
So what do we do? Nothing?

1052
01:02:31,810 --> 01:02:36,190
Actually, if you'll allow me, my
darling, I think I have a solution.

1053
01:02:37,550 --> 01:02:41,430
In the event that Arnie's divorce
requires full discovery, we're going to

1054
01:02:41,430 --> 01:02:45,050
complete list of payments received,
expenses incurred, dating all the way

1055
01:02:45,050 --> 01:02:48,690
to the inception of the firm. And we'll
need it broken down case by case and

1056
01:02:48,690 --> 01:02:49,690
attorney by attorney.

1057
01:02:51,050 --> 01:02:53,510
Sir, why am I having to do that?

1058
01:02:53,850 --> 01:02:56,910
Well, these could be some pretty nasty
proceedings, Chloe. We need somebody

1059
01:02:56,910 --> 01:02:57,910
good.

1060
01:03:05,750 --> 01:03:07,970
Michael Cusack tells me you've been a
great help.

1061
01:03:09,110 --> 01:03:11,290
Yeah, he asked me if I could give him a
hand.

1062
01:03:11,510 --> 01:03:12,610
And you told him you could.

1063
01:03:13,150 --> 01:03:14,150
Yeah.

1064
01:03:14,370 --> 01:03:17,610
You didn't think to ask if that was what
I wanted you working on.

1065
01:03:18,150 --> 01:03:19,170
Didn't think you'd mind.

1066
01:03:19,410 --> 01:03:22,130
And you didn't want to run the risk to
find out if I would. What's the problem,

1067
01:03:22,270 --> 01:03:25,690
Dad? The problem is that Michael Cusack
doesn't allocate the resources of this

1068
01:03:25,690 --> 01:03:28,310
firm. I do. Okay, Dad, I made a mistake.
I'm sorry.

1069
01:03:29,020 --> 01:03:32,840
Maybe I'm not that interested in
handling divorces or states or whatever

1070
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,440
function needs to be filled at the
moment. Well, that's what your

1071
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:38,720
did with me when I started out, and
that's what I do with you.

1072
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:44,980
I hate to tell you, but I don't want to
follow in your footsteps.

1073
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:50,480
I have no interest in keeping up the
proud Brackman tradition of efficient

1074
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:52,540
office management and resource
allocation.

1075
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:57,680
Pass the mantle on to someone else.

1076
01:04:06,410 --> 01:04:08,590
Just want to let you know that I'm proud
of you.

1077
01:04:09,310 --> 01:04:10,310
For what?

1078
01:04:11,110 --> 01:04:13,470
For doing something that was different
for you.

1079
01:04:13,970 --> 01:04:15,370
For doing it with grace.

1080
01:04:21,670 --> 01:04:22,670
Thanks.

1081
01:04:26,870 --> 01:04:27,870
What are you doing?

1082
01:04:29,770 --> 01:04:31,350
I'm going to the hospice.

1083
01:04:33,570 --> 01:04:34,570
Why?

1084
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,680
I don't have much of a threshold for
pain.

1085
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:41,540
It's time I took matters in hand.

1086
01:04:45,820 --> 01:04:48,520
I know we didn't have a great marriage,
Rox.

1087
01:04:49,620 --> 01:04:52,140
I hope that doesn't leave you with too
many regrets.

1088
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:56,840
You don't have to go tonight.

1089
01:05:01,420 --> 01:05:02,420
I'd rather...

1090
01:05:03,890 --> 01:05:07,530
Maddie and you didn't have to deal with
me when I'm brown bread, if you know

1091
01:05:07,530 --> 01:05:08,530
what I mean.

1092
01:05:09,410 --> 01:05:10,410
What's brown bread?

1093
01:05:11,190 --> 01:05:14,170
It's Cockney rhyming slang for dead.

1094
01:05:15,470 --> 01:05:16,850
Bucket and pail, jail.

1095
01:05:17,470 --> 01:05:18,710
Cousin Ella, umbrella.

1096
01:05:20,070 --> 01:05:21,090
Errol Flynn, chin.

1097
01:05:21,610 --> 01:05:22,710
Tommy Dodge, God.

1098
01:05:23,210 --> 01:05:24,210
Stop it.

1099
01:05:24,330 --> 01:05:27,870
I have to pick up Maddie. I have to
start dinner. And I have to know if

1100
01:05:27,870 --> 01:05:28,870
really going to die tonight.

1101
01:05:58,700 --> 01:05:59,700
Hey, Mike.

1102
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:00,720
How's it going?

1103
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:04,460
Congressman Devencore registers his
righteous indignation.

1104
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:07,340
All I can do is stall until tomorrow.

1105
01:06:07,620 --> 01:06:09,960
So there's no chance the prostitute will
take the stand to refute?

1106
01:06:10,740 --> 01:06:11,740
Even if she did,

1107
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:15,460
it'd be her word against the United
States Congressman.

1108
01:06:20,380 --> 01:06:21,380
Unless it's not.

1109
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:26,200
What? Well, she knows me as Albert
Hutchinson's lawyer.

1110
01:06:27,690 --> 01:06:29,090
She doesn't know who you are.

1111
01:06:30,210 --> 01:06:31,870
Who am I? I'm a tax attorney.

1112
01:06:33,290 --> 01:06:34,650
That's not what you're going to tell
her.

1113
01:06:38,230 --> 01:06:39,230
Hey.

1114
01:06:43,230 --> 01:06:44,230
You going out, too?

1115
01:06:44,510 --> 01:06:46,930
Yeah, if it's you I'm going out with,
I'll be.

1116
01:06:52,970 --> 01:06:55,770
It's 1 .50 for a half an hour, 2 .50 for
an hour.

1117
01:06:56,540 --> 01:06:59,640
Oh, you're going to have to do a whole
lot of half and half to make the kind of

1118
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:00,640
money I'm talking about.

1119
01:07:00,820 --> 01:07:03,120
I don't do whips. I don't do water
sports.

1120
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:07,700
Hmm. How about phone calls? Do you do
phone calls?

1121
01:07:09,340 --> 01:07:10,340
What are you talking about?

1122
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:14,420
I'm talking about Larry Diebenkorn and
his wicked, wicked ways.

1123
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:18,520
Look, I'm going to tell you what I told
the other lawyer, okay? I'm not going to

1124
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:20,420
testify. Oh, I don't want you to
testify.

1125
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:23,480
Look, Diebenkorn's running for re
-election this November.

1126
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:25,980
The only thing I'm interested in is that
he lose.

1127
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,380
I don't know what you're talking about.
Pull over, I'm getting out. No, no, no.

1128
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:32,000
I work for his opponent, okay?

1129
01:07:32,700 --> 01:07:33,700
Just relax.

1130
01:07:34,340 --> 01:07:37,680
All I want you to do is give him a call
and set up a meeting.

1131
01:07:38,540 --> 01:07:43,340
At the meeting, you tell him you want
$20 ,000 and you won't testify and you

1132
01:07:43,340 --> 01:07:44,340
won't go to the press.

1133
01:07:45,140 --> 01:07:49,780
And you record the conversation, you
deliver the tape to me, I'll give you

1134
01:07:49,780 --> 01:07:52,620
,000 and tickets to anywhere you want to
go in the world.

1135
01:07:58,990 --> 01:08:00,270
How do you know he'll take the meeting?

1136
01:08:00,630 --> 01:08:04,890
Because he's a United States
congressman, and he wants to stay a

1137
01:08:04,890 --> 01:08:05,890
congressman.

1138
01:08:08,730 --> 01:08:09,730
Here.

1139
01:08:12,310 --> 01:08:14,070
You want to see what it feels like to
have power?

1140
01:08:38,859 --> 01:08:39,859
Tough day, big guy.

1141
01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:44,279
I hate it when people die.

1142
01:08:46,340 --> 01:08:47,340
Yeah.

1143
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:48,960
Me too.

1144
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:54,840
Hey, come on. Let's go give Roxanne a
hand, huh?

1145
01:08:56,720 --> 01:08:57,720
Oh.

1146
01:08:58,740 --> 01:09:02,859
Dear Dave Meyer, it must be tough for
you.

1147
01:09:03,380 --> 01:09:06,899
All these people here and you can't say
a word.

1148
01:09:08,390 --> 01:09:14,810
Can't tell us about split runs or sense
-impregnated drain stoppers or

1149
01:09:14,810 --> 01:09:20,649
wine collector wheels made from two
pieces of die -cut laminated stock

1150
01:09:20,649 --> 01:09:24,550
held together by a number 14 brass
grommet.

1151
01:09:24,950 --> 01:09:26,609
You want it to be interesting?

1152
01:09:28,189 --> 01:09:29,189
To be loved?

1153
01:09:30,830 --> 01:09:34,970
I have to say, Dave, you weren't all
that interesting.

1154
01:09:37,550 --> 01:09:43,950
loved you were by people who worked at
McKenzie Brackman, who knew you and

1155
01:09:43,950 --> 01:09:46,930
laughed at you and now are going to miss
you.

1156
01:09:50,630 --> 01:09:54,290
By me and my daughter Maddie.

1157
01:09:54,910 --> 01:09:56,390
By all kinds of people.

1158
01:09:57,330 --> 01:10:03,410
I know that whenever I get mail for
leather insoles or genuine rare coins

1159
01:10:03,410 --> 01:10:06,290
or pepper spray keychain attachments,

1160
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:09,920
I'll think of you and remember that.

1161
01:10:10,780 --> 01:10:12,440
Yours truly, Roxanne.

1162
01:10:14,660 --> 01:10:15,940
Love, Roxanne.

1163
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:34,760
Ladies.

1164
01:10:35,300 --> 01:10:36,300
Ready?

1165
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:45,160
I watched them put a guy in the ground
this morning.

1166
01:10:46,540 --> 01:10:51,480
I don't want to fight about money or
dogs or anything else.

1167
01:10:51,900 --> 01:10:52,900
Great.

1168
01:10:54,060 --> 01:10:56,200
You take the house, the furnishings, the
cars.

1169
01:10:58,100 --> 01:10:59,160
And the Bichon Frises.

1170
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:03,600
Arnie, I think you're upset from the
funeral.

1171
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:08,240
We shouldn't be doing that now. Laura,
now is exactly when we should be doing

1172
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:11,420
this. You and I are both blessed with
having things in this world that give us

1173
01:11:11,420 --> 01:11:16,280
pleasure. For however much time we have
to do the men, that's what we should be

1174
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:17,280
doing.

1175
01:11:23,440 --> 01:11:25,420
I'll grab some forms. We'll wrap this
up.

1176
01:11:34,340 --> 01:11:36,000
Hey, Arnie. Hi, Chloe.

1177
01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:39,560
Hey, Arnie.

1178
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:41,400
I'm sorry to hear about your friend
Dave.

1179
01:11:43,150 --> 01:11:44,150
Yeah.

1180
01:11:45,510 --> 01:11:46,510
Thanks.

1181
01:11:47,210 --> 01:11:48,210
Arnie.

1182
01:11:50,450 --> 01:11:51,770
How about us working together?

1183
01:11:52,530 --> 01:11:54,530
Why would you want to work with a bitter
old man?

1184
01:11:56,030 --> 01:11:57,270
What are you talking about?

1185
01:11:58,650 --> 01:11:59,650
Chloe.

1186
01:12:00,750 --> 01:12:04,970
When I first proposed us working
together, what I was really thinking

1187
01:12:04,970 --> 01:12:06,750
how much I wanted to have sex with you.

1188
01:12:07,990 --> 01:12:09,450
How that would make me feel better.

1189
01:12:10,690 --> 01:12:14,200
And how the fastest... way to accomplish
it would be by making you think it

1190
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:15,200
would benefit your career.

1191
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:20,800
Since I now realize I was wrong about
every single part of that equation, I

1192
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:23,100
think it's best maybe if we start from
scratch, huh?

1193
01:12:25,500 --> 01:12:26,920
Alright, let's start from scratch.

1194
01:12:27,940 --> 01:12:29,120
How about we work together?

1195
01:12:29,940 --> 01:12:31,000
I don't think so.

1196
01:12:36,980 --> 01:12:38,180
May I talk to you?

1197
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:45,660
of the happiest days of my life was the
day you came to work here.

1198
01:12:46,860 --> 01:12:51,060
Whatever frustrations I felt, however
much I resented being relegated to the

1199
01:12:51,060 --> 01:12:57,880
role of bean counter and scold, it all
paled compared to the pride

1200
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:01,000
I felt at having my son working with me.

1201
01:13:02,700 --> 01:13:04,480
That didn't last, though, did it?

1202
01:13:05,260 --> 01:13:07,060
Well, I have myself to blame for that.

1203
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:11,460
I set you up to vindicate me by being
like me.

1204
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:14,780
Everyone would see who you muddled
yourself after.

1205
01:13:15,220 --> 01:13:20,160
They'd see how much influence I had, and
they'd step back, and maybe they'd say,

1206
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:21,480
we were wrong about Brackman.

1207
01:13:22,260 --> 01:13:26,080
With the way his son looks up to him, we
must have been missing something all

1208
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:28,700
these years. And even if they didn't, it
wouldn't matter.

1209
01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:32,720
If my son looked up to me, I wouldn't
care what anyone else thought.

1210
01:13:35,860 --> 01:13:38,480
Dad, do you know how hard it was for me
to get through law school?

1211
01:13:39,440 --> 01:13:41,660
To pass the bar, why do you think I did
all that?

1212
01:13:42,730 --> 01:13:43,950
You wanted to be a lawyer.

1213
01:13:45,890 --> 01:13:47,530
I wanted to be like you.

1214
01:13:53,050 --> 01:13:55,290
I still do.

1215
01:13:59,670 --> 01:14:01,270
You might want to get down to court.

1216
01:14:01,690 --> 01:14:04,790
What? Cusack's conducting cross
-examination.

1217
01:14:06,230 --> 01:14:07,410
Always worth watching.

1218
01:14:19,460 --> 01:14:21,360
Hi. You didn't have to come in today.

1219
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:23,400
I know.

1220
01:14:24,440 --> 01:14:27,820
Rox, you know about this money that Dave
left us?

1221
01:14:28,580 --> 01:14:29,580
Uh -huh.

1222
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:30,800
It's your money.

1223
01:14:31,060 --> 01:14:33,420
No, it's Dave's money. Now it's yours.

1224
01:14:33,980 --> 01:14:38,000
Roxanne, Dave's money should go to take
care of you and your daughter before it

1225
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:39,000
goes to take care of us.

1226
01:14:39,620 --> 01:14:41,800
Dave left us very well provided for.

1227
01:14:42,020 --> 01:14:44,440
I don't need it. He wanted you to have
it.

1228
01:14:46,500 --> 01:14:47,960
Are there any other beneficiaries?

1229
01:14:48,750 --> 01:14:49,750
Just Benny.

1230
01:14:50,050 --> 01:14:53,030
Dave wanted to be sure he was taken care
of, so he set up a trust.

1231
01:14:54,090 --> 01:14:56,550
He also left him the contents of his
warehouses.

1232
01:14:56,890 --> 01:14:57,890
What kind of contents?

1233
01:14:58,670 --> 01:14:59,670
Hi, Benny.

1234
01:15:04,050 --> 01:15:05,050
Hello?

1235
01:15:12,850 --> 01:15:13,850
Belinda?

1236
01:15:15,170 --> 01:15:16,170
Yeah, where are you?

1237
01:15:17,350 --> 01:15:18,650
No, stay there. I'll be right over.

1238
01:15:19,370 --> 01:15:20,370
Who's Belinda?

1239
01:15:21,410 --> 01:15:22,470
She's our prostitute.

1240
01:15:27,450 --> 01:15:30,270
Recall to the stand Congressman Lawrence
Diebenkorn.

1241
01:15:33,210 --> 01:15:35,850
Are you acquainted with a woman named
Belinda James?

1242
01:15:37,310 --> 01:15:38,650
Doesn't ring a bell off the top?

1243
01:15:38,890 --> 01:15:42,250
It follows then that you never coached
her prior to her taking the stand to

1244
01:15:42,250 --> 01:15:43,250
testify in this case.

1245
01:15:43,450 --> 01:15:44,550
That's right, Counselor.

1246
01:15:44,810 --> 01:15:46,890
To the best of my knowledge, I never met
her.

1247
01:15:47,350 --> 01:15:51,170
And I definitely never coached her. And
you definitely never instructed her to

1248
01:15:51,170 --> 01:15:52,910
lie. I object to Mr.

1249
01:15:53,150 --> 01:15:56,670
Cusack's backhanded accusations. And
when did you stop feeding your wife

1250
01:15:56,670 --> 01:15:57,990
questions? Sustained.

1251
01:15:58,690 --> 01:15:59,750
I trust Mr.

1252
01:15:59,970 --> 01:16:03,510
Cusack that there's a legitimate basis
for recalling this man to the stand?

1253
01:16:03,730 --> 01:16:04,730
There is, Your Honor.

1254
01:16:11,530 --> 01:16:13,310
I'm going to play a tape for you,
Congressman.

1255
01:16:14,270 --> 01:16:16,730
I'm going to ask you to identify the
voices that you hear.

1256
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:18,320
Objection. No foundation.

1257
01:16:18,620 --> 01:16:21,880
Your Honor, I have a piece of evidence
that goes to the issue of actual

1258
01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:22,880
innocence.

1259
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:26,620
And that there are now only 48 hours
before my client is scheduled to be

1260
01:16:26,620 --> 01:16:30,420
executed. I would ask that the court
apply whatever reading of the rules of

1261
01:16:30,420 --> 01:16:32,800
evidence are necessary to allow this
tape to be heard.

1262
01:16:33,740 --> 01:16:34,740
No.

1263
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:37,200
I would beg the court.

1264
01:16:41,660 --> 01:16:42,660
I'll allow it.

1265
01:16:56,650 --> 01:16:57,568
Recognize that voice?

1266
01:16:57,570 --> 01:16:58,570
No, I don't.

1267
01:17:03,570 --> 01:17:07,610
How about

1268
01:17:07,610 --> 01:17:12,810
that?

1269
01:17:13,730 --> 01:17:15,310
No idea who these people are.

1270
01:17:15,710 --> 01:17:19,980
None. Your Honor, the witness has now
stated twice that he couldn't identify

1271
01:17:19,980 --> 01:17:24,120
voices. By what logic are we continuing
to admit this tape into evidence? Your

1272
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:26,960
Honor, my client is entitled to have the
court rule on the witness's

1273
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:27,960
credibility.

1274
01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:33,400
Proceed, but not much more.

1275
01:18:33,130 --> 01:18:34,130
Clear this courtroom.

1276
01:18:36,610 --> 01:18:40,850
Is it your testimony, Congressman, that
that's not your voice on this case?

1277
01:18:41,470 --> 01:18:42,870
Objection. Asked and answered.

1278
01:18:43,250 --> 01:18:47,290
Overruled. I admit it's a pretty good
impersonation, but it's absolutely

1279
01:18:47,290 --> 01:18:50,270
preposterous to think that that is
actually... No further questions.

1280
01:18:50,630 --> 01:18:51,790
You may step down.

1281
01:18:52,370 --> 01:18:54,350
Call Melinda Jay.

1282
01:18:56,450 --> 01:18:59,290
But remain in the courtroom, Mr.
Diebenkorn.

1283
01:19:12,910 --> 01:19:13,910
Raise your right hand.

1284
01:19:15,050 --> 01:19:18,090
Do you swear to tell the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth,

1285
01:19:18,090 --> 01:19:19,090
help you God?

1286
01:19:19,130 --> 01:19:20,490
I do. State your name.

1287
01:19:21,550 --> 01:19:22,710
Belinda Ann James.

1288
01:19:23,050 --> 01:19:24,050
Please be seated.

1289
01:19:27,250 --> 01:19:33,850
James, did you testify in the trial of
Albert Hutchinson that you saw him kill

1290
01:19:33,850 --> 01:19:34,890
Officer Scott Ellett?

1291
01:19:36,490 --> 01:19:38,250
Yes. Was that true?

1292
01:19:39,430 --> 01:19:40,430
No.

1293
01:19:41,100 --> 01:19:42,900
Why did you testify under oath that it
was?

1294
01:19:43,820 --> 01:19:47,040
Larry Diebenkorn told me he'd take my
daughter away from me and put her into

1295
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:48,240
foster care if I didn't.

1296
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:50,440
Objection. Your say.

1297
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:51,960
I'll allow it.

1298
01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:54,020
Did he give you a reason?

1299
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:55,660
He said it was to protect Ronnie.

1300
01:19:56,060 --> 01:20:00,000
You're lying, Belinda. That's enough,
Mr. Gerben. Now's when I'm telling the

1301
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:03,800
truth. It's so wrong that Scotty's widow
has to sit through this. Not another

1302
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:05,940
word, Mr. Gerben. Does he know that
you're the one who shot him?

1303
01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:08,040
Or you, Miss James.

1304
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:10,780
Did Congressman Diebenkorn give you...

1305
01:20:11,070 --> 01:20:14,910
An explanation as to why Ronald Girvin
might have killed his partner?

1306
01:20:16,350 --> 01:20:20,670
He said Ronnie Girvin was dealing
narcotics out of the property room, and

1307
01:20:20,670 --> 01:20:22,990
Ellis found out and threatened to turn
him in if he didn't stop.

1308
01:20:23,350 --> 01:20:25,850
It's nuts. You've got to believe this
whore of court officers.

1309
01:20:27,430 --> 01:20:31,630
Miss James, why did you decide to come
to court today?

1310
01:20:38,750 --> 01:20:41,170
When it was... Just to hold on to my
kid, I felt justified.

1311
01:20:42,990 --> 01:20:45,190
She's 18 now. I don't need no more
holding on to her.

1312
01:20:48,010 --> 01:20:51,950
And I saw this $2 ,000 that he gave me.

1313
01:20:54,530 --> 01:20:56,930
And I realized that's what a man was
dying for.

1314
01:20:57,970 --> 01:21:00,970
Because the DA liked hookers and didn't
want anyone to know about it.

1315
01:21:01,830 --> 01:21:03,750
I'm not the kind of girl who takes money
for nothing.

1316
01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:10,180
Anybody have a motion?

1317
01:21:11,620 --> 01:21:14,020
If defense counsel will allow me.

1318
01:21:14,780 --> 01:21:15,900
By all means.

1319
01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:23,360
I move that Ronald Gervin and Lawrence
Diebenkorn be remanded into custody and

1320
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:25,720
that Albert Hutchinson be released.

1321
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:27,280
So ordered.

1322
01:21:52,370 --> 01:21:53,370
Thank you, Michael.

1323
01:21:53,750 --> 01:21:54,750
Thank you.

1324
01:21:58,630 --> 01:21:59,630
You're welcome.

1325
01:21:59,990 --> 01:22:02,530
Thank you so much for helping us, Mr.
Glitter.

1326
01:22:04,230 --> 01:22:05,410
Thanks for giving me the chance.

1327
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:13,100
Roxanne Melman. Yes.

1328
01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:17,640
I'm Inspector Hightower. This is
Inspector Wochuk. We're at the United

1329
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:18,640
Postal Service.

1330
01:22:19,860 --> 01:22:21,180
We're looking for David Meyer.

1331
01:22:22,940 --> 01:22:23,940
He died.

1332
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:26,200
Died?

1333
01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:29,520
The funeral was this morning.

1334
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:32,640
Did he actually see his body in the
casket?

1335
01:22:34,180 --> 01:22:37,820
He requested that the casket was to be
closed.

1336
01:22:38,860 --> 01:22:41,920
We're going to need the name of the
funeral home that handled the

1337
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:43,480
Can I ask why?

1338
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:46,280
He's wanted by the federal government
for mail fraud.

1339
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:48,280
Mail fraud?

1340
01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:50,680
To the tune of about $35 million.

1341
01:22:59,420 --> 01:23:05,100
Thanks for picking her up, you know. Oh,
sure.

1342
01:23:05,620 --> 01:23:07,620
Hi. You ready to go?

1343
01:23:12,810 --> 01:23:13,810
Mackenzie Brackman.

1344
01:23:16,310 --> 01:23:17,310
Come on, please.

1345
01:23:18,010 --> 01:23:19,010
Roxanne.

1346
01:23:19,190 --> 01:23:20,290
Long distance for you?

1347
01:23:26,890 --> 01:23:28,810
This is Roxanne. Hey, Rox.

1348
01:23:29,070 --> 01:23:30,070
It's me, Dave.

1349
01:23:30,890 --> 01:23:32,190
Can I help you with something?

1350
01:23:33,030 --> 01:23:35,090
Wow, do I have a story to tell.

1351
01:23:36,010 --> 01:23:40,010
Uh -huh. Now, it's true that
circumstances required me to hold back

1352
01:23:40,010 --> 01:23:41,010
the details.

1353
01:23:41,020 --> 01:23:43,120
And obviously, all is not as it seems.

1354
01:23:43,500 --> 01:23:49,440
You know, we get all of our office
supplies on account, and we're very

1355
01:23:49,440 --> 01:23:53,860
with our vendors. So thank you. Rox,
come on. Look, I meant everything I

1356
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:56,520
Thank you. I'm sorry. Thank you. No,
goodbye.

1357
01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:03,160
It's so annoying.

1358
01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:07,160
Yes, they are.

1359
01:24:28,810 --> 01:24:29,970
Where are you living these days?

1360
01:24:31,090 --> 01:24:31,969
Same place.

1361
01:24:31,970 --> 01:24:32,970
Same place?

1362
01:24:33,830 --> 01:24:34,830
Why would I move?

1363
01:24:35,910 --> 01:24:37,050
I'm only one person.

1364
01:24:37,830 --> 01:24:40,410
I eat out all the time. I don't need to
go home to sleep.

1365
01:24:40,730 --> 01:24:45,150
Yeah, the same's true for me, but since
the last time you and I were together,

1366
01:24:45,450 --> 01:24:47,750
I've moved four times.

1367
01:24:48,970 --> 01:24:51,410
Well, maybe you're more sensitive to
your environment.

1368
01:24:52,610 --> 01:24:55,730
Or deluded into thinking it matters.

1369
01:24:59,210 --> 01:25:00,210
You know what matters?

1370
01:25:02,450 --> 01:25:08,870
The older I get, the more I'm convinced
that the one true love in my life

1371
01:25:08,870 --> 01:25:11,370
was you.

1372
01:25:17,330 --> 01:25:18,410
Is it love?

1373
01:25:20,810 --> 01:25:24,190
Or just finding an old sweater hidden in
a drawer?

1374
01:25:53,580 --> 01:25:55,180
And don't use the past tense.
