1 00:00:01,209 --> 00:00:06,490 Previously on L .A. Law. I just wanted to say Merry Christmas and thank you. 2 00:00:07,190 --> 00:00:09,910 For what? For being a friend when I needed one. 3 00:00:10,350 --> 00:00:11,350 Oh, that was my pleasure. 4 00:00:13,050 --> 00:00:18,250 I want 5 00:00:18,250 --> 00:00:25,090 to spend Christmas with my son and my wife. 6 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:30,080 And without the holidays factoring into the equation, would you still want to be 7 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,080 coming home? 8 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,680 Well, I'm getting a lawyer, Stuart. 9 00:00:34,740 --> 00:00:40,160 I'm not going to sit around and wait until... I'm getting a lawyer, Stuart. 10 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:47,000 I am not looking to mend any fences here, and I am certainly not chasing 11 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:47,859 your affection. 12 00:00:47,860 --> 00:00:51,160 You can help me avoid the stain of an investigation. 13 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,340 I'm willing to pay you $300 ,000 to do it. 14 00:00:55,580 --> 00:00:57,980 It's a simple business deal. She's innocent. 15 00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,380 They had no case. 16 00:01:00,020 --> 00:01:01,020 She's not innocent. 17 00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:05,440 Hey, come on. This benefits all of us. There's nothing to be ashamed about. 18 00:01:05,660 --> 00:01:07,700 Well, then why wasn't this out in the open, Leland? 19 00:01:07,900 --> 00:01:08,940 I wasn't hiding it. 20 00:01:09,140 --> 00:01:12,360 I just decided not to publicize it. I knew there'd be opposition. 21 00:01:13,660 --> 00:01:14,960 Thank you, Leland. 22 00:01:15,420 --> 00:01:17,740 I don't know how I could ever repay you. 23 00:01:18,220 --> 00:01:19,640 Oh, yes, you do. 24 00:01:21,050 --> 00:01:22,090 $300 ,000. 25 00:01:22,610 --> 00:01:24,670 Is everything always about money? 26 00:01:29,610 --> 00:01:31,450 Oh, it's unanimous then. 27 00:01:31,750 --> 00:01:33,550 Victor Cifuentes becomes partner. 28 00:01:33,870 --> 00:01:35,430 Effective 1 April. 29 00:01:35,850 --> 00:01:38,670 Next up, Abigail Perkins. Not a chance. 30 00:01:39,070 --> 00:01:42,410 Why not? Hold on now. We promised Abby when she came back that she'd be 31 00:01:42,410 --> 00:01:43,470 considered for partnership. 32 00:01:43,810 --> 00:01:47,770 And she deserves it. Abby has turned into a damn good lawyer. Maybe so, but 33 00:01:47,770 --> 00:01:48,770 everybody can be partner. 34 00:01:48,930 --> 00:01:49,930 Victor makes eight. 35 00:01:50,170 --> 00:01:54,110 Jonathan comes up in two years. Plus C .J. and Tommy Mullaney. Well, C .J. 36 00:01:54,170 --> 00:01:57,510 doesn't want it. And Mullaney will never have it. Not while I'm still alive. 37 00:01:57,750 --> 00:01:58,750 What's wrong with Tommy? 38 00:01:58,790 --> 00:02:00,190 I don't like the way he operates. 39 00:02:00,510 --> 00:02:04,310 And as history tells us, he's too self -destructive to be around very long. 40 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,080 I disagree. Let's just stick to Abby. This is about Abby. C .J. and Mulaney 41 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,100 not future partners. 42 00:02:10,300 --> 00:02:14,100 They are not a reason to exclude Abby Perkins. Come on, let's give her a most 43 00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:16,320 improved player, but she has zero profile. 44 00:02:16,620 --> 00:02:20,520 Partnership isn't a reward to be passed out. I like her. We all like her. The 45 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,680 only question here is what's in it for us, and the answer with Abby is nothing. 46 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,020 How about just acknowledging a person's loyalty? 47 00:02:26,340 --> 00:02:30,080 What about it? It's true, Ann. I hate to agree, but she's certainly no 48 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,540 rainmaker. Neither are you, Stuart. 49 00:02:31,780 --> 00:02:32,940 Let's just take the vote. 50 00:02:33,530 --> 00:02:37,930 I vote yes, and I seriously recommend the rest of you do the same. I vote yes. 51 00:02:38,170 --> 00:02:39,170 No. 52 00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:40,910 No. No. 53 00:02:42,630 --> 00:02:43,990 No? No. 54 00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:46,830 Five to two. She doesn't make it. 55 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,620 You people are unbelievable. 56 00:02:48,980 --> 00:02:52,020 Hold on. We don't announce or reveal the results of this meeting to anyone 57 00:02:52,020 --> 00:02:56,100 before March 15th. Why not? Because we have three Office of Employment out to 58 00:02:56,100 --> 00:02:59,300 third -year law students who will respond by that date. Since two of them 59 00:02:59,300 --> 00:03:02,800 women who could be wary of our being tagged with the sex discrimination 60 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,200 we don't need the news about Abby to push them away. 61 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,380 That is disgusting. We're not going to make her partner. We should at least 62 00:03:08,380 --> 00:03:12,140 her. We can't. No, I agree with this one. If the news gets around that the 63 00:03:12,140 --> 00:03:13,400 is in and the woman's out, no. 64 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,040 Could cost us. We tell nobody. 65 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,980 Leland, what am I supposed... This is a partnership meeting. You have a 66 00:03:17,980 --> 00:03:20,900 fiduciary responsibility to each one of us. 67 00:03:21,220 --> 00:03:22,600 You tell nobody. 68 00:03:25,020 --> 00:03:27,160 This place is a piece of crap, you know that? 69 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,680 The spirit of Rosalind Shays just lives on forever. 70 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,320 Next up, a reminder to all that Jonathan Stewart and myself will be out of the 71 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,320 office tomorrow and Thursday on our war game expedition. 72 00:06:15,740 --> 00:06:19,360 What? We announced this last week. We're part of Richard Flegel's corporate team 73 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,100 in the Industrial War Game Championship. 74 00:06:21,620 --> 00:06:24,360 Is this where a bunch of guys get together and run around the woods like 75 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,580 and shoot each other with paintballs? Richard Flegel is one of our top 76 00:06:27,580 --> 00:06:31,080 clients, and he doesn't consider it idiotic. You never told me it was an 77 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,079 overnight thing, Douglas. 78 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,640 You never said I'd have to sleep in the forest. I showed you the brochure, 79 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:41,020 Jonathan. You said it was just like you to try. I helped you with Noah. 80 00:06:41,300 --> 00:06:42,700 How about you helping out with my client? 81 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:43,559 Will you two please? 82 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:44,560 Moving on. 83 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,220 Edwards versus Dune promotions? 84 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,660 That's my boxing case. Heavyweight club fighter got hammered real bad. I 85 00:06:50,660 --> 00:06:54,500 represent his wife. We're suing the promoter for planning the mismatch. How 86 00:06:54,500 --> 00:06:55,960 you get by assumption of the risk? 87 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,820 By getting the jury to focus on the puss oozing out of his sleeves and set up 88 00:06:59,820 --> 00:07:01,700 his own client to be beaten half to death. 89 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,060 I see. Abby. 90 00:07:03,530 --> 00:07:07,010 I see you pushed the Eric Linder's deposition till Friday? Yeah. Believe it 91 00:07:07,010 --> 00:07:09,790 not, I have been asked to be on the Phil Donahue show tomorrow. 92 00:07:10,070 --> 00:07:13,810 You're kidding. Really? They're doing a show on gun control and carry permits, 93 00:07:13,870 --> 00:07:19,030 and they're having... Well, they're having professional people who have 94 00:07:19,030 --> 00:07:23,330 themselves with firearms, and they asked me. You're really going on this show? I 95 00:07:23,330 --> 00:07:26,830 doubt it. I mean, they have three other guests. They don't need me, but they've 96 00:07:26,830 --> 00:07:30,250 asked, so I'm thinking about it. I'll be sure to set my VCR. 97 00:07:30,670 --> 00:07:31,850 All right, we're adjourned. 98 00:07:32,070 --> 00:07:34,990 So, Abby, you didn't tell me you shot the guy? What's my fever say? 99 00:07:36,070 --> 00:07:37,070 Sure. 100 00:07:45,030 --> 00:07:49,070 I'm sorry. I just can't act like nothing's happened here. 101 00:07:49,430 --> 00:07:51,090 We've had these two great kisses. 102 00:07:53,470 --> 00:07:54,490 Well, they were great for me. 103 00:07:55,010 --> 00:07:56,270 They were great for me, too. 104 00:07:57,740 --> 00:08:02,520 But, you know, if we start something here, it would be very complicated. 105 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,380 We work together, yeah. 106 00:08:04,620 --> 00:08:05,940 With a lot of other people. 107 00:08:07,740 --> 00:08:09,180 Relationships could get serious to compromise. 108 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,420 Including ours. I mean, we're friends. 109 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:13,400 Good friends. 110 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:19,980 And if we start something and it doesn't work out, well, that would be 111 00:08:19,980 --> 00:08:21,200 jeopardizing our relationship. 112 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,760 And that's a pretty big risk. 113 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:25,600 At least for me. 114 00:08:27,450 --> 00:08:28,450 Right. 115 00:08:29,810 --> 00:08:33,010 Well, maybe we should just play it safe. 116 00:08:37,890 --> 00:08:39,289 Pretend like nothing happened. 117 00:08:41,630 --> 00:08:43,169 I don't think I could do that. 118 00:08:46,730 --> 00:08:47,730 Me neither. 119 00:08:53,930 --> 00:08:56,090 This is the Chipman 68 special. 120 00:08:56,570 --> 00:08:59,890 12 -inch barrel, M16 grip, semi -automatic. 121 00:09:00,170 --> 00:09:01,170 Can I see? 122 00:09:02,510 --> 00:09:04,550 Does this hurt when it hits you? 123 00:09:05,610 --> 00:09:09,490 Look, I know you guys aren't wild about this, but let me tell you, I want to 124 00:09:09,490 --> 00:09:14,070 win. Problem with running a tampon company, people make jokes about you. 125 00:09:14,070 --> 00:09:17,110 market a very respectable tampon, Richard. There's nothing to be ashamed 126 00:09:17,170 --> 00:09:19,790 Just the same. I can shut a lot of mouths by winning this trophy. 127 00:09:20,150 --> 00:09:23,470 All right. Tonight, Rancho Park, 7 o 'clock. We practice. 128 00:09:23,990 --> 00:09:25,910 Tomorrow, 6 a .m., Tarzana. 129 00:09:27,439 --> 00:09:30,680 Hey! I didn't do anything. It just went off. What do you mean, it just went off? 130 00:09:30,700 --> 00:09:33,440 I didn't touch the trigger. All right, knock it off. That paint's totally 131 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,880 washable. It'll come right off. 132 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,880 Hey, could be a good omen. Direct hit. 133 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:39,780 Seven o 'clock, Rancho Park. 134 00:09:40,740 --> 00:09:43,960 You shot my father. It was a mistake. You never made a mistake. Give me that 135 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,800 gun. You shouldn't have it. You know what? I don't want to go on the trip. 136 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,840 You're going to be a menace to the team. I know it. 137 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:53,080 A few weeks after the fight... 138 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,220 I began to notice that his words were slurring and his hands began to shake. 139 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,320 And you think it was the boxing match with Hector Casales that did this to 140 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,640 husband? Oh, I know it was. 141 00:10:02,860 --> 00:10:06,080 I mean, he'd been knocked out before, but never like that. 142 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,080 My God, never like that. 143 00:10:08,300 --> 00:10:11,840 And for this, you blame the promoter. He wasn't just the promoter. He controlled 144 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:12,840 Larry's career. 145 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,140 He was the person who was supposed to be looking out for him, but he set him up 146 00:10:16,140 --> 00:10:18,780 to be mauled to make Hector Casales look good. 147 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,900 Now, the defendant never concealed the fact that he represented Hector Casales 148 00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:26,860 as well as your husband, did he? No, he never concealed that. He just concealed 149 00:10:26,860 --> 00:10:28,620 the fact that he was sacrificing Larry. 150 00:10:29,180 --> 00:10:30,180 Objection sustained. 151 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,860 And it is also true, Mrs. Edwards, that your husband doesn't want you to bring 152 00:10:34,860 --> 00:10:35,860 this lawsuit. 153 00:10:36,540 --> 00:10:40,680 No, he doesn't. Then why are you? Because he can't work. 154 00:10:42,020 --> 00:10:43,100 Because we're broke. 155 00:10:44,940 --> 00:10:47,320 Because I have three children that need to eat. 156 00:10:48,060 --> 00:10:52,900 And because I just don't know what else I can do. Your husband can't find other 157 00:10:52,900 --> 00:10:56,700 work besides boxing? He got a job selling plants at a greenhouse. 158 00:10:58,100 --> 00:11:01,260 And they fired him because they said he kept getting confused. 159 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:06,380 Last week, he went to the grocery store to get some milk. He forgot why he went, 160 00:11:06,460 --> 00:11:11,100 and when he went to call me, he couldn't remember our phone number. 161 00:11:12,740 --> 00:11:13,860 I'm sorry, baby. 162 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,000 I am so sorry to embarrass you like this. 163 00:11:18,220 --> 00:11:19,220 Thank you, ma 'am. 164 00:11:20,340 --> 00:11:21,340 That's all I have. 165 00:11:24,579 --> 00:11:29,360 Your husband fought 42 previous fights and was knocked out seven other times, 166 00:11:29,460 --> 00:11:32,400 correct? Yes, but this fight was... Yes is all I need, thank you. 167 00:11:32,980 --> 00:11:36,720 And as a professional boxer, ma 'am, your husband certainly knew the physical 168 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,060 risks of stepping inside that ring, didn't he? We never thought that it 169 00:11:40,060 --> 00:11:42,960 so lopsided. Your husband knocked out 18 people. 170 00:11:43,420 --> 00:11:49,080 He himself was knocked out seven times. That means 25 of 42 bouts were lopsided 171 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,820 enough for one fighter to end up semi -conscious. This fight was a mismatch. 172 00:11:52,820 --> 00:11:56,640 Both you and your husband knew that Hector Casales was a highly ranked 173 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,080 being groomed for the heavyweight championship. You told us Larry had a 174 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,300 Isn't it true, ma 'am? Your husband took this fight because it was being 175 00:12:03,300 --> 00:12:05,140 broadcast on national television? 176 00:12:05,740 --> 00:12:09,180 Because it was the biggest professional opportunity of his career, and that if 177 00:12:09,180 --> 00:12:12,980 he'd won, he would have been in line for a championship bout himself, maybe down 178 00:12:12,980 --> 00:12:16,000 the road. He tricked us into thinking all of this. Where's the trick? 179 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,060 This is boxing, Mrs. Edwards. 180 00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:21,300 The object is to knock the opponent unconscious. 181 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,160 The winner gets a parade, the loser usually gets hospitalized.

We relied on him for it. Fight. Who 184 00:12:33,900 --> 00:12:36,480 made the final decision to accept this fight? 185 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,640 Larry, but... Thank you, ma 'am.

Why didn't Anne tell me? I had 207 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,360 lunch with her today. She wouldn't say. They are keeping it hush -hush till 208 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:47,360 March 15th. 209 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,020 They don't want to spook the women law students they've got offers out to. 210 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:52,360 Those bastards. 211 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,480 Yeah, so sod it. 212 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,100 Let's go to the movies. 213 00:13:56,500 --> 00:13:58,880 Oh, no, thanks. I don't feel like going to the movies. 214 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,400 I'm sorry, Abby. 215 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,440 I hope they change their minds. 216 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,200 Those lying sons of bitches. 217 00:14:13,180 --> 00:14:18,030 All right, you'll have a... A 30 -second head start. 218 00:14:18,670 --> 00:14:20,910 Ready, Wolverine. We're ready.

That's us. What kind of a name is that? Come on, let's go. 223 00:14:31,570 --> 00:14:33,890 All right, here are your kill chips. 224 00:14:34,250 --> 00:14:38,570 You get killed, you hand it over to the guy who kills you. You kill somebody 225 00:14:38,570 --> 00:14:41,130 else, you get his chip. Any questions? 226 00:14:41,370 --> 00:14:43,390 Oh, yeah. Is there like a snack bar or something? 227 00:14:43,610 --> 00:14:45,010 Do it. All right, ready, Douche King. 228 00:14:45,270 --> 00:14:48,490 Go. Hustle up. Next up, National Tire. 229 00:14:48,690 --> 00:14:51,910 Let's get out there. They're coming. All right, National Tire, you guys know the 230 00:14:51,910 --> 00:14:54,450 routine. Move it. Move it. Move it. 231 00:14:56,690 --> 00:14:57,950 Let's go. Come on. 232 00:14:58,270 --> 00:14:59,330 Step up and get your chips. 233 00:15:00,470 --> 00:15:03,990 For God's sake. 234 00:15:04,310 --> 00:15:05,830 You're in play. You're dead. 235 00:15:06,190 --> 00:15:07,190 What? 236 00:15:07,370 --> 00:15:10,790 That's an official hit. Player one, you're out. You get his chip. 237 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:16,240 The scientific term would be dementia pugilistica, but that's just a fancy way 238 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,860 of saying punch drunk. Were you able to ascertain the cause of this dementia, 239 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:20,859 Dr. Harris? 240 00:15:20,860 --> 00:15:24,260 In my opinion, it was caused by the repeated blows to the head in the 241 00:15:24,260 --> 00:15:28,380 fight. At this time, Judge, I would like to play the tape. Defense renews its 242 00:15:28,380 --> 00:15:30,740 objection to the tape, Your Honor. Defense renews its ruling. 243 00:15:31,500 --> 00:15:32,600 Overruled. Play it. 244 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,660 What actually happens when punches like that hit the head? In simple terms, the 245 00:16:15,660 --> 00:16:19,500 blow accelerates the skull through the air while the brain lags behind. 246 00:16:19,700 --> 00:16:23,240 Then when the head stops moving, the brain crashes into the wall of the 247 00:16:23,580 --> 00:16:27,380 Then it reverberates back against the other side. And this can cause damage to 248 00:16:27,380 --> 00:16:27,979 the brain? 249 00:16:27,980 --> 00:16:28,980 Oh, absolutely. 250 00:16:28,990 --> 00:16:31,730 It ends up stretching and ultimately tearing both the nerves and the tissues 251 00:16:31,730 --> 00:16:35,890 inside the brain. And, Doctor, based on your examination of Larry Edwards, could 252 00:16:35,890 --> 00:16:39,610 you tell us what lies ahead for him? Well, we can't be completely sure, but 253 00:16:39,610 --> 00:16:43,490 likelihood is that he will become unable to speak. Within 15 to 20 years, he 254 00:16:43,490 --> 00:16:47,590 will become physically dysfunctional, and he will need constant medical and 255 00:16:47,590 --> 00:16:49,830 nursing care. All because of a boxing match. 256 00:16:50,110 --> 00:16:51,490 All because of a boxing match. 257 00:16:51,710 --> 00:16:52,669 Thank you, sir. 258 00:16:52,670 --> 00:16:53,670 Your witness. 259 00:16:53,710 --> 00:16:54,710 My witness. 260 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,680 Larry Edwards has taken at least 10 ,000 punches in his boxing lifetime. 261 00:17:02,540 --> 00:17:07,260 And you pin his dementia down to the eight or nine we just saw in that tape. 262 00:17:07,260 --> 00:17:10,780 annual neurological exam given to him before that fight showed no brain 263 00:17:11,060 --> 00:17:12,599 Would that test be conclusive? 264 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,859 No, but... And you yourself didn't examine this man prior to the Catholic 265 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:23,040 did you? No, I didn't. And in fact, sir, punch -drunk syndrome can result from 266 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,140 accumulated trauma suffered over a career of boxing, Drew. 267 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,100 Even the winners could be affected this way, right? 268 00:17:29,340 --> 00:17:32,520 Joe Lewis suffered from pugilistica dementia, didn't he, sir? 269 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,760 I never examined Joe Lewis. Every boxer is at risk to this affliction, right? 270 00:17:36,940 --> 00:17:40,300 Yes, now that's certainly true. You personally think the sport of boxing 271 00:17:40,300 --> 00:17:44,120 be banned? The American Medical Association believes it should be 272 00:17:44,120 --> 00:17:47,120 you agree with the AMA, don't you? Boxing should be banned, right? 273 00:17:47,340 --> 00:17:48,900 Yes, it should be. Thanks, Dr. Harris. 274 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:50,400 Nothing further. 275 00:17:52,490 --> 00:17:56,370 I'd like you to meet Miss Abigail Perkins. Miss Perkins is an attorney 276 00:17:56,370 --> 00:18:00,350 firm here in Los Angeles, McKenzie, Brackman, Chaney, Cusack, and Becker. 277 00:18:00,930 --> 00:18:05,170 Two years ago, Miss Perkins was attacked by a deranged client who had a lead 278 00:18:05,170 --> 00:18:11,330 pipe. You defended yourself using a handgun. You shot the guy, and you 279 00:18:11,330 --> 00:18:12,330 him. 280 00:18:13,270 --> 00:18:17,310 It should be said, however, that you did not have a carry permit, did you, Miss 281 00:18:17,310 --> 00:18:19,630 Perkins? No, they are impossible to get. 282 00:18:19,930 --> 00:18:24,050 Responsible citizens are not allowed to carry firearms, which means that if I 283 00:18:24,050 --> 00:18:27,650 had been attacked on the street instead of in my office, I would probably be 284 00:18:27,650 --> 00:18:30,430 dead. I thought she wasn't going to do this. Something must have changed her 285 00:18:30,430 --> 00:18:33,190 mind. Eight thousand people in this country are killed every year with a 286 00:18:33,190 --> 00:18:35,490 handgun. Many of them are children, shot accidentally. 287 00:18:35,770 --> 00:18:39,670 That's appalling. So is selling guns to people with criminal records or a 288 00:18:39,670 --> 00:18:40,810 history of mental illness. 289 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:46,040 I support gun registration, waiting periods, and background checks, but to 290 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,180 that no one... Passing out pistols is contemptible. I'll tell you what's 291 00:18:49,180 --> 00:18:53,080 contemptible. Our government cannot stop the drug wars. Our government cannot 292 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,000 stop rising crime. Our government cannot stop the guns from getting to the 293 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,340 gangs. And they want to pass laws to stop them from getting to you and me. 294 00:19:01,140 --> 00:19:06,020 So you just arm everybody and become a society of violence? We already are a 295 00:19:06,020 --> 00:19:09,980 society of violence. All I'm saying is it's time to let the good people fight 296 00:19:09,980 --> 00:19:10,980 back. 297 00:19:11,030 --> 00:19:13,230 Lawyers Who Kill, and we'll be back in just a moment. 298 00:19:15,830 --> 00:19:16,830 You all right? 299 00:19:17,250 --> 00:19:18,710 Mm -hmm. Can I speak to you for a second? 300 00:19:18,930 --> 00:19:19,930 Yeah, sure. 301 00:19:21,710 --> 00:19:23,890 I'm really not sure how to say this. 302 00:19:25,330 --> 00:19:26,330 It's about Grace. 303 00:19:26,450 --> 00:19:31,770 What about her? Well, I think that we... I think there could be something 304 00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:32,850 happening between us. 305 00:19:36,970 --> 00:19:38,510 Look, we didn't mean for it to happen. 306 00:19:39,950 --> 00:19:41,310 Just kind of snuck up on us. 307 00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:48,270 What I'm trying to say is, would it bother you if Grace and I started seeing 308 00:19:48,270 --> 00:19:49,270 each other? 309 00:19:53,230 --> 00:19:54,230 Yes. 310 00:19:55,470 --> 00:19:56,930 Yes, it would bother me. 311 00:20:00,670 --> 00:20:03,350 You've been training Larry Edwards for how long, sir? 312 00:20:03,710 --> 00:20:04,710 Almost seven years. 313 00:20:05,030 --> 00:20:06,850 But he's not your employer. 314 00:20:07,610 --> 00:20:09,270 No, I work for Mr. Dune. 315 00:20:09,740 --> 00:20:14,140 Larry is one of the fighters assigned to me. Now, Mr. Lott, could you tell us 316 00:20:14,140 --> 00:20:17,680 what your reaction was when you learned that Larry was scheduled to fight Hector 317 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,380 Casales? I thought it was totally nuts. 318 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,280 I mean, Hector's a rank contender. 319 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,800 He's in a totally different class. 320 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:27,400 Did you tell this to Mr. 321 00:20:27,660 --> 00:20:32,440 Dune? I did, and he told me to keep my mouth shut and get Larry ready to fight. 322 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,960 Did you express your reservations to Larry? 323 00:20:35,470 --> 00:20:39,150 Yeah, but, you know, every fighter, they always see the other guy lying on the 324 00:20:39,150 --> 00:20:40,610 mat. You know, they never see themselves. 325 00:20:41,070 --> 00:20:42,910 Yeah, so the fight went forward. 326 00:20:43,190 --> 00:20:45,390 Yeah, but not with me, it didn't, because I quit. 327 00:20:46,050 --> 00:20:47,050 Why'd you quit, sir? 328 00:20:47,430 --> 00:20:49,990 Because I couldn't close my eyes to what was happening. 329 00:20:50,230 --> 00:20:51,230 I mean, 330 00:20:51,250 --> 00:20:55,230 don't get me wrong, these things happen all the time, you know, the promoters, 331 00:20:55,250 --> 00:20:58,450 staging, mismatches, because of the public, you know, they like to see 332 00:20:58,450 --> 00:21:03,910 knockouts. But this, he had no chance but to get hurt, and that's what I told 333 00:21:03,910 --> 00:21:04,910 him to do. 334 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,520 He says you'd better get yourself another trainer, because I quit. 335 00:21:08,980 --> 00:21:09,980 Thank you, sir. 336 00:21:10,820 --> 00:21:11,820 Nothing further. 337 00:21:13,180 --> 00:21:16,040 Larry Edwards have knockout power, Mr. Lott? 338 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:17,279 Oh, yes. 339 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,320 And if he had ever connected, would it have been possible for him to knock out 340 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:22,320 Hector Casales? 341 00:21:23,100 --> 00:21:24,680 Yeah, it would be possible, sure. 342 00:21:24,980 --> 00:21:26,920 But thank you, Mr. Lott. That's all. 343 00:21:33,340 --> 00:21:34,340 It's this way. 344 00:21:35,780 --> 00:21:36,920 No, this way. 345 00:21:37,380 --> 00:21:39,980 I think I see somebody. 346 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,560 They spotted us, damn it. They're coming. 347 00:21:45,740 --> 00:21:49,920 Let's give up. We've got to fight back. We could be home for lunch. 348 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,180 They've got no place to go. Let's move up. 349 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,700 Hold on, cease fire. 350 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,520 Now look, you've got four people, we've got four. 351 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:00,840 There are no surprises. 352 00:22:01,180 --> 00:22:04,020 If you retreat at once, we'll hold fire. 353 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:05,640 And you'll all live. 354 00:22:05,900 --> 00:22:07,000 Do we have a deal? 355 00:22:07,300 --> 00:22:08,300 Here's your deal. 356 00:22:09,180 --> 00:22:10,760 Let's take him. This is ridiculous. 357 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,680 How did I get myself into this? You have to aim, Jonathan. 358 00:22:13,940 --> 00:22:15,240 You can't just shoot at the sky. 359 00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:18,060 Stuart! Get back here! 360 00:22:18,380 --> 00:22:19,420 They can't shoot straight. 361 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,320 One, two, three. 362 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:28,940 Where the hell did you come 363 00:22:28,940 --> 00:22:30,300 from? You're all dead. 364 00:22:32,060 --> 00:22:33,940 The little pudge all got me. 365 00:22:34,330 --> 00:22:35,330 Kill chips, please. 366 00:22:54,170 --> 00:22:57,050 And Larry Edwards wanted it, did he not? 367 00:22:57,730 --> 00:22:58,730 Wanted it. 368 00:22:58,910 --> 00:23:01,310 This was the opportunity he begged me for. 369 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,980 He said he wanted to get in the ring with a named fighter so he could make 370 00:23:04,980 --> 00:23:05,980 mark. Mrs. 371 00:23:06,220 --> 00:23:09,400 Edwards claims that you knew her husband would be savagely beaten when you 372 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:10,400 scheduled that fight. 373 00:23:10,580 --> 00:23:14,980 Look, first of all, I was Larry Edwards' exclusive promoter. 374 00:23:15,220 --> 00:23:18,900 That meant I had a financial stake in the man. So I certainly wasn't going to 375 00:23:18,900 --> 00:23:20,220 anything to ruin his career. 376 00:23:20,580 --> 00:23:24,760 Second, you got to understand something. Anything can happen in a boxing match. 377 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,050 Anything. Look at Buster Douglas. 378 00:23:27,290 --> 00:23:31,510 Man was a mismatched, no -name bum up until the time he knocked out Mike 379 00:23:32,390 --> 00:23:36,070 Cassius Clay, they say, had no business even being in the same ring with Sonny 380 00:23:36,070 --> 00:23:41,750 Liston. Look at George Foreman. The man's 40, he's fat, candidate for a 381 00:23:41,950 --> 00:23:43,950 yet he's still in there knocking people out. 382 00:23:44,190 --> 00:23:47,010 Did you think Larry Edwards might beat Hector Casales? 383 00:23:47,230 --> 00:23:48,230 The truth? 384 00:23:49,010 --> 00:23:51,370 No. But did he have a chance? 385 00:23:51,970 --> 00:23:55,930 Absolutely. And Larry was grateful to me that I gave him that chance. 386 00:23:56,250 --> 00:23:57,270 Thank you, Mr. Dune. 387 00:23:57,710 --> 00:23:58,710 Nothing further. 388 00:24:02,430 --> 00:24:04,930 You also control Hector Casales, don't you? 389 00:24:05,190 --> 00:24:06,069 That's correct. 390 00:24:06,070 --> 00:24:10,510 In fact, Hector Casales is your meal ticket, isn't he? He's a promising 391 00:24:11,090 --> 00:24:14,990 But I take care of all of my clients. Yeah, you really took care of Larry. 392 00:24:15,770 --> 00:24:19,170 You sent him into battle with the fourth ranked heavyweight contender in the 393 00:24:19,170 --> 00:24:23,510 world. Nobody held a gun to his head. But you advised him. You told him this 394 00:24:23,510 --> 00:24:28,250 would be best for him. That's right. And I believe that. Don't lie to this jury. 395 00:24:28,750 --> 00:24:29,750 Objection. Counsel. 396 00:24:29,850 --> 00:24:34,490 According to Walter McDonough, executive producer of Fight Time on Prime Sports 397 00:24:34,490 --> 00:24:39,630 Cable, he told you that before he would close the cable deal on Hector Casales, 398 00:24:39,810 --> 00:24:42,190 he had to be sold on the guy's power. 399 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,320 Three days after that, you set up this match with Larry Edwards. 400 00:24:46,740 --> 00:24:51,560 So? So Larry Edwards was the tomato can you knew Casales would knock out. 401 00:24:51,780 --> 00:24:53,880 Probably in spectacular fashion. 402 00:24:54,220 --> 00:24:59,080 Totally untrue. Larry Edwards put his life and his career in your hands, Mr. 403 00:24:59,340 --> 00:25:00,340 Dune. 404 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:05,060 And you sold him out for a cable deal. He wanted this fight just as much as I 405 00:25:05,060 --> 00:25:06,060 did. Mr. Dune. 406 00:25:07,020 --> 00:25:12,300 Your gross take on the Casales cable deal was $1 .3 million. 407 00:25:12,660 --> 00:25:17,380 I work hard for my money. You paid Larry Edwards $8 ,000 for that fight. That's 408 00:25:17,380 --> 00:25:19,680 right. And that's more than he ever made before. 409 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:20,940 But you got rich. 410 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,640 And he got a lifelong disability. 411 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:30,660 Look, Larry knew the risks, okay? The man knew all of the hazards. 412 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,520 No, he didn't, Mr. Dune. 413 00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:36,140 Larry never knew that one of the hazards was you. 414 00:25:36,860 --> 00:25:40,620 Objection! Withdrawn. I have nothing further for this citizen. 415 00:25:41,020 --> 00:25:42,320 You can step down, sir. 416 00:25:42,540 --> 00:25:46,320 Your Honor, the defense would like to call as its last witness Mr. 417 00:25:46,540 --> 00:25:47,540 Larry Edwards. 418 00:25:48,340 --> 00:25:51,180 We're adjourned. We'll see Mr. Edwards later this day. 419 00:25:55,100 --> 00:25:59,000 Get me down. What was your idea to go on this trip? For God's sake, let me lie 420 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,960 down. All right, look, I'm going to put you down up by the shack. 421 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:03,280 Okay, here, lie down, lie down. 422 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,300 Hey! Anybody there? 423 00:26:06,060 --> 00:26:07,060 A little help? 424 00:26:08,260 --> 00:26:10,460 Whoa, hold it, hold it, hold it. Don't shoot. We give up. 425 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:11,920 Need some help. 426 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,280 I think I got a broken ankle here. 427 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,480 I know a little first aid. Can't you find a referee? 428 00:26:17,120 --> 00:26:18,640 No, I think he's gonna pass out. 429 00:26:20,300 --> 00:26:21,300 Hey, 430 00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:27,460 come on, get up, get up, get up. 431 00:26:28,420 --> 00:26:29,420 Where'd he go? 432 00:26:30,220 --> 00:26:31,320 There's another guy over there. 433 00:26:37,060 --> 00:26:38,060 That's it. You're dead. 434 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:40,800 Grace. 435 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,360 For the record, I think it's completely unprofessional. 436 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:55,680 I beg your pardon? 437 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:57,400 You and Victor. 438 00:26:57,860 --> 00:26:59,820 It's bad for the firm, it's bad for morale. 439 00:27:00,060 --> 00:27:05,320 If Victor and I were seeing each other, what business is it of yours? 440 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,320 Well, probably none. 441 00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:14,700 But you are a partner, and he is still an associate, at least for the time 442 00:27:14,700 --> 00:27:18,700 being, and you know how dangerous that can be. That's the objection, that I'm a 443 00:27:18,700 --> 00:27:20,560 partner and he is an associate. 444 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:21,880 All right. 445 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,720 He's a friend, and you are my ex -lover. How's that? 446 00:27:26,890 --> 00:27:27,990 At least it's honest. 447 00:27:28,670 --> 00:27:32,590 Listen, Michael, this isn't something we're trying to rub your face in. 448 00:27:32,830 --> 00:27:37,670 And I certainly appreciate that you're not comfortable with it. But what you 449 00:27:37,670 --> 00:27:41,930 have to appreciate is that it really isn't any of your business. 450 00:27:43,270 --> 00:27:45,870 He asked me if I would mind, and I said yes. 451 00:27:46,210 --> 00:27:47,910 I guess that doesn't make any difference. 452 00:27:59,660 --> 00:28:01,280 I understand you picked up a new client. 453 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,460 Yeah, California Chapter, the NRA. 454 00:28:04,120 --> 00:28:05,120 Uh -huh. 455 00:28:05,900 --> 00:28:06,900 You have a problem? 456 00:28:08,420 --> 00:28:09,420 You really want to know? 457 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,160 I thought you were self -serving on that show and totally irresponsible. 458 00:28:13,740 --> 00:28:14,740 It made me sick. 459 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,520 Thanks for your support, Ann. Hey, friends are supposed to be honest with 460 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,360 another, right? I'm giving you my honest opinion. 461 00:28:19,620 --> 00:28:20,359 That's right. 462 00:28:20,360 --> 00:28:24,160 Friends are supposed to be honest. Like, if you knew that a friend was getting 463 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,940 screwed out of a partnership, you'd level with her. 464 00:28:26,909 --> 00:28:30,350 You hypocrite. I don't make partner because my profile's too low. I go on 465 00:28:30,350 --> 00:28:33,850 television. I get a little publicity, and suddenly I'm self -serving and 466 00:28:33,850 --> 00:28:37,350 irresponsible. I wanted to tell you, Abby, but... But what? What, your 467 00:28:37,350 --> 00:28:40,430 obligation to the partner took precedence over our friendship? I get it 468 00:28:40,770 --> 00:28:42,530 Ann. How dare you judge me? 469 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:04,400 You just go to sleep. 470 00:29:05,500 --> 00:29:06,800 It's only 7 o 'clock. 471 00:29:07,580 --> 00:29:08,660 What else do we do? 472 00:29:10,940 --> 00:29:11,940 This is crazy. 473 00:29:12,420 --> 00:29:14,900 I don't care what he said. I'm lighting the fire. 474 00:29:15,220 --> 00:29:16,220 You won't like it. 475 00:29:25,820 --> 00:29:27,140 You're very lucky, Jonathan. 476 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,140 Why? Because you have youth. 477 00:29:29,700 --> 00:29:31,780 Choices. I'm 40 years old. 478 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:37,080 I'm here in the woods, shivering all night, because I can't say no to a 479 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,980 who makes designer tampons and sells them to the jingle uptight and out of 480 00:29:40,980 --> 00:29:44,120 sight. I'm intimidated by clients. I'm afraid of my ex -wife. 481 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:49,120 My teenage son ignores me.

No. He thought if I caught 503 00:30:54,700 --> 00:30:59,280 I maybe could have. And you chose to take this fight knowing the likelihood 504 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,300 you would lose. Maybe I shouldn't have done it. 505 00:31:02,620 --> 00:31:03,620 I don't know. 506 00:31:03,780 --> 00:31:06,580 Next time, maybe no.

Shh, 557 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:51,940 No use in getting killed now. 558 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,880 Any sign of Rambo it? Stuart. 559 00:33:55,300 --> 00:33:56,600 I hope he got captured. 560 00:33:57,180 --> 00:33:58,900 He's probably eating bugs for breakfast. 561 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,080 Freeze! Make one move, you get it in the ass. 562 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:04,520 Okay, okay. 563 00:34:04,540 --> 00:34:05,640 Drop your guns. Now! 564 00:34:06,220 --> 00:34:09,239 Fine.

Damn right I did. Now give me your chip. 580 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:53,840 Unbelievable. Unbelievable. 581 00:34:55,210 --> 00:34:57,370 boxing is a dirty business. 582 00:34:57,730 --> 00:35:04,410 The promoter controls the managers so he can represent both fighters in the same 583 00:35:04,410 --> 00:35:09,690 bout. You never know who's pimping for who. The regulations stink, and it's 584 00:35:09,690 --> 00:35:13,770 possible for club fighters with lousy credentials to be thrown in with 585 00:35:13,770 --> 00:35:15,550 championship caliber fighters. 586 00:35:16,010 --> 00:35:19,130 Now, that is what happened here, ladies and gentlemen. 587 00:35:19,470 --> 00:35:20,690 Larry Edwards. 588 00:35:21,470 --> 00:35:28,430 was put in that ring solely because the defendant knew. He knew that he would be 589 00:35:28,430 --> 00:35:34,590 quickly destroyed because he would make Hector Casales look good because he 590 00:35:34,590 --> 00:35:38,010 would help Mitchell Doon close that cable deal. 591 00:35:38,790 --> 00:35:42,770 Now, I don't sit here pretending to be shocked. 592 00:35:43,110 --> 00:35:45,490 Like I said, the fight game is dirt. 593 00:35:46,030 --> 00:35:50,090 And it's usually more about promoting entertainment vehicles and raising 594 00:35:50,090 --> 00:35:51,890 revenues than it is sport. 595 00:35:52,110 --> 00:35:55,410 And bums are thrown in with contenders all the time. 596 00:35:56,270 --> 00:36:02,830 But the problem here is, it was Larry Edwards' own guy that sold them out. 597 00:36:02,970 --> 00:36:09,110 See, Mitchell Doon's job was to protect them, to advise them, 598 00:36:09,230 --> 00:36:13,250 and he sacrificed them. There was a trust here. 599 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:20,440 And for $1 .3 million, Mitchell Doon chose to betray that 600 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:21,440 trust. 601 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:27,460 And because of that, Larry Edwards is brain damaged. 602 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:34,980 Because of that, one day, Larry Edwards will be unable to speak. 603 00:36:35,180 --> 00:36:37,960 He will need a nurse to help him go to the bathroom. 604 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,180 For Larry Edwards... 605 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:46,060 For his wife and kids, please do something to even things up. 606 00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:02,920 Boxing is a sport where the object is to bash the opponent's head until he loses 607 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:03,920 consciousness. 608 00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:06,180 That's what boxing is. 609 00:37:06,670 --> 00:37:10,830 We could mandate headgear. We could mandate bigger, softer gloves. 610 00:37:11,250 --> 00:37:16,090 We could do a lot of things to make it safer. We choose not to because the 611 00:37:16,090 --> 00:37:21,630 essence of boxing is blood and eyes swelled up to where you can't see and 612 00:37:21,630 --> 00:37:23,670 knockouts and pain. 613 00:37:24,190 --> 00:37:25,750 Mitchell Doon knows that. 614 00:37:26,510 --> 00:37:28,210 Larry Edwards knows that. 615 00:37:29,270 --> 00:37:35,350 Knowing that, Larry Edwards decided to become a professional and assume those 616 00:37:35,350 --> 00:37:41,580 risks. And like any pro, the thing he wanted most from his promoter was a shot 617 00:37:41,580 --> 00:37:42,580 at the title. 618 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,300 Get me in there with the big boys. 619 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,960 Well, Mitchell Dune got him in there with Hector Casales, an opportunity 620 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,960 Edwards was grateful for. And he lost. 621 00:37:54,180 --> 00:37:56,880 He got hurt, for which we're all very sorry. 622 00:37:57,980 --> 00:38:04,420 But please, if we start suing promoters every time a boxer suffers a vicious 623 00:38:04,420 --> 00:38:09,840 knockout, we'd be holding them liable for giving us exactly what we pay to 624 00:38:10,300 --> 00:38:11,800 Admit that, ladies and gentlemen. 625 00:38:12,240 --> 00:38:14,400 Larry Edwards isn't blaming Mitchell Doon. 626 00:38:16,140 --> 00:38:17,140 How can you? 627 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:33,880 I'll pick it up later. 628 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,660 I have to talk to you. Who the hell do you think you are? 629 00:38:42,900 --> 00:38:44,740 What? We are not sleeping together. 630 00:38:45,140 --> 00:38:47,220 We don't even have a relationship. 631 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,960 I didn't even say I'd go out with you. Why are we talking about this now? 632 00:38:51,140 --> 00:38:52,980 Because you went to Michael and made it public. 633 00:38:53,540 --> 00:38:54,540 Damn you! 634 00:38:54,720 --> 00:38:57,860 Before we did anything, you had to go and get his stamp of approval. 635 00:38:58,860 --> 00:39:01,940 Approval? Look, I don't know what he told you. Victor, if something is 636 00:39:01,940 --> 00:39:06,560 here, it is between us. You and me. It has nothing to do with Michael. Michael 637 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:07,560 still loves you. 638 00:39:07,950 --> 00:39:10,730 That doesn't give him the right to decide who I can be with. 639 00:39:11,350 --> 00:39:12,350 Or you either. 640 00:39:12,630 --> 00:39:15,890 I make up my own mind and I don't need anybody's permission. 641 00:39:16,250 --> 00:39:18,350 You're right. I didn't think... I don't know. 642 00:39:18,690 --> 00:39:20,950 Maybe we should just forget this whole thing. 643 00:39:51,870 --> 00:39:55,290 Nothing. Just... Nothing. 644 00:39:56,550 --> 00:39:57,830 Heard you were a big hero today. 645 00:39:58,490 --> 00:39:59,490 21 kills. 646 00:39:59,570 --> 00:40:00,690 Yeah, second place. 647 00:40:01,570 --> 00:40:03,430 I could have won, but Douglas fragged me. 648 00:40:03,650 --> 00:40:04,770 He says you had it coming. 649 00:40:05,110 --> 00:40:06,110 I did. 650 00:40:08,470 --> 00:40:11,550 I think I was acting out a little stuff out there. 651 00:40:12,990 --> 00:40:14,350 Tell me about acting out. 652 00:40:15,310 --> 00:40:17,650 I bit Abby's head off for going on Donahue. 653 00:40:18,270 --> 00:40:19,890 I just turned into the Dragon Lady. 654 00:40:22,380 --> 00:40:24,620 You know, I was thinking about the whole time I was out in the woods. 655 00:40:26,140 --> 00:40:30,260 What?
