1
00:00:00,417 --> 00:00:03,295
[panting]
2
00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:16,350
[engine revving]
3
00:00:32,366 --> 00:00:34,451
Was I going over
the speed limit, officers?
4
00:00:34,451 --> 00:00:37,329
Man 1: Let's see some ID.
- I don't have my wallet...
5
00:00:37,329 --> 00:00:38,997
Look, I-- I don't usually
carry it with me when I run.
6
00:00:38,997 --> 00:00:41,625
Will you please step
towards the car, slowly.
7
00:00:41,625 --> 00:00:43,627
Wait a minute, I'm an attorney.
8
00:00:43,627 --> 00:00:45,087
I live two miles from here.
9
00:00:45,087 --> 00:00:46,630
Yeah, sure. Move.
10
00:00:49,883 --> 00:00:51,218
What's your reasonable
suspicion?
11
00:00:51,218 --> 00:00:52,844
You don't belong here,
you don't fit
12
00:00:52,844 --> 00:00:55,847
the profile of the neighborhood,
that's my suspicion.
13
00:00:55,847 --> 00:00:57,474
We asked you to step
towards the car.
14
00:00:57,474 --> 00:00:58,684
- Get your hands off me.
- Shut your mouth!
15
00:00:58,684 --> 00:00:59,643
Hey, hey, hey!
16
00:01:01,019 --> 00:01:03,981
[grunting]
17
00:01:05,816 --> 00:01:06,942
[screams]
18
00:01:12,030 --> 00:01:14,533
Happy now smart guy?
You happy now?
19
00:01:19,413 --> 00:01:22,332
[theme music]
20
00:01:52,446 --> 00:01:55,365
[music continues]
21
00:02:25,437 --> 00:02:28,398
[music continues]
22
00:02:45,791 --> 00:02:48,668
[instrumental music]
23
00:03:28,834 --> 00:03:31,711
[music continues]
24
00:03:40,345 --> 00:03:42,848
Alright. Let's get going,
shall we?
25
00:03:42,848 --> 00:03:44,266
Arnie: Where's Roxanne?
26
00:03:44,266 --> 00:03:45,976
Attending to other matters
this morning.
27
00:03:45,976 --> 00:03:47,519
She may join us later.
28
00:03:47,519 --> 00:03:49,646
First up,
revenues for McKenzie Brackman
29
00:03:49,646 --> 00:03:51,731
you'll be pleased to know
rose 22%
30
00:03:51,731 --> 00:03:53,150
for the month of January.
31
00:03:53,150 --> 00:03:55,694
Excellent work, people.
Let's keep it up.
32
00:03:55,694 --> 00:03:58,363
Next, on
a truly disastrous note,
33
00:03:58,363 --> 00:04:00,365
I'm the object of libel
in this weeks "Inquisitor."
34
00:04:00,365 --> 00:04:03,785
I show you page one.
"Vanna Dumps Bald Bore."
35
00:04:05,203 --> 00:04:06,788
- Nice picture.
- Yeah, what's...
36
00:04:06,788 --> 00:04:08,665
What's the deal on that,
Douglas? She got married?
37
00:04:08,665 --> 00:04:11,376
Yeah, she told me
she was going skiing.
38
00:04:11,376 --> 00:04:13,795
Oh, well. Anyway, it's filled
with malicious lies.
39
00:04:13,795 --> 00:04:15,088
I want immediate action.
40
00:04:15,088 --> 00:04:17,340
Ann, you've beat
these tabloids before,
41
00:04:17,340 --> 00:04:19,217
call their lawyers,
make some heads roll.
42
00:04:19,217 --> 00:04:20,927
Moving on,
the Barkley prenup.
43
00:04:20,927 --> 00:04:22,637
Yeah, me. I'm meeting alone
with them tomorrow.
44
00:04:22,637 --> 00:04:25,432
Her lawyer isn't even coming.
45
00:04:25,432 --> 00:04:27,726
But I've got to get
a secretary, Douglas.
46
00:04:27,726 --> 00:04:29,436
We've sent you nine
this past week.
47
00:04:29,436 --> 00:04:30,979
- You fired every one of them.
Arnie: Yeah.
48
00:04:30,979 --> 00:04:33,440
Because you send bimbos,
I'm telling you, Douglas,
49
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,734
Roxanne's got a lot to learn
about personnel recruitment.
50
00:04:35,734 --> 00:04:37,360
I'm also telling you,
that this Barkley prenup
51
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,987
could be very complex,
52
00:04:38,987 --> 00:04:41,448
and it is inconceivable for me
to take this meeting
53
00:04:41,448 --> 00:04:43,658
without a qualified,
able assistant.
54
00:04:43,658 --> 00:04:45,827
Douglas: I'm assigning
Gwen Taylor. She's excellent--
55
00:04:45,827 --> 00:04:47,245
- No way.
- She's mine.
56
00:04:47,245 --> 00:04:49,414
Stuart, you no longer need
two secretaries.
57
00:04:49,414 --> 00:04:50,832
Yeah, well,
fine, give him Mary Beth.
58
00:04:50,832 --> 00:04:52,751
- But I need Gwen.
- You do not need Gwen.
59
00:04:52,751 --> 00:04:54,377
Arnie: I don't need her,
I don't want her.
60
00:04:54,377 --> 00:04:55,921
- I don't like her.
- Well, you're getting her.
61
00:04:55,921 --> 00:04:57,339
At least until
the Barkley deal is done.
62
00:04:57,339 --> 00:04:58,924
This is
a million-dollar client.
63
00:04:58,924 --> 00:05:01,718
- My decision is final.
- When are his six weeks up?
64
00:05:03,261 --> 00:05:05,514
Jonathan Rollins is calling in.
He's in jail.
65
00:05:05,514 --> 00:05:07,307
- Why?
- He was arrested.
66
00:05:07,307 --> 00:05:10,268
He left a message last night
on Victor's answering machine.
67
00:05:10,268 --> 00:05:11,895
- I didn't get it.
Brackman: What happened?
68
00:05:11,895 --> 00:05:13,563
Well, he didn't say,
he just said that
69
00:05:13,563 --> 00:05:14,898
he's being arraigned
this morning
70
00:05:14,898 --> 00:05:16,149
and he needs you or Victor.
71
00:05:16,149 --> 00:05:17,734
- I'll take it.
- No, you both take it.
72
00:05:17,734 --> 00:05:20,445
Get down there right now.
See what he needs. Move.
73
00:05:20,445 --> 00:05:22,489
Grace, put in a call to Rogoff,
maybe he can help.
74
00:05:22,489 --> 00:05:23,782
- Sure.
- Let's adjourn.
75
00:05:23,782 --> 00:05:25,408
We'll cover
the other items later.
76
00:05:25,408 --> 00:05:27,619
Grace: I wonder what happened.
- I'm gonna get my coat.
77
00:05:27,619 --> 00:05:30,539
[indistinct chatter]
78
00:05:32,332 --> 00:05:35,502
CJ: Hey, it's okay.
Settle down.
79
00:05:35,502 --> 00:05:38,213
Just tell me what happened.
80
00:05:38,213 --> 00:05:40,131
Okay. Uh...
81
00:05:42,175 --> 00:05:43,760
Jim took Josh for the weekend.
82
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,136
You know, he gets him
every other weekend.
83
00:05:45,136 --> 00:05:46,638
I know. And?
84
00:05:46,638 --> 00:05:49,724
- He's not bringing him back.
- What?
85
00:05:49,724 --> 00:05:52,394
His lawyer just showed up
this morning.
86
00:05:52,394 --> 00:05:54,938
And, uh,
he says he's bringing a new
87
00:05:54,938 --> 00:05:58,900
petition for custody
in Indian Court.
88
00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:01,111
- CJ, can they do this?
- Where is Josh now?
89
00:06:01,111 --> 00:06:04,239
He's still with Jim
on the reservation in Arizona.
90
00:06:05,574 --> 00:06:08,577
Okay, uh, look...
91
00:06:08,577 --> 00:06:09,870
I'll go into court
and get an order.
92
00:06:09,870 --> 00:06:11,413
- When?
- This afternoon.
93
00:06:11,413 --> 00:06:12,789
Leland McKenzie
can get me in with
94
00:06:12,789 --> 00:06:15,208
Judge Lobel,
we'll jump all over this.
95
00:06:15,208 --> 00:06:17,252
And then they'll, they'll
bring him back, right?
96
00:06:17,252 --> 00:06:19,087
They can't just
keep him, right?
97
00:06:19,087 --> 00:06:21,172
I don't know.
98
00:06:21,172 --> 00:06:24,759
I know the law, Janice, but
I have to be honest with you,
99
00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:26,886
I don't know the first thing
about Indians.
100
00:06:28,263 --> 00:06:31,182
Number 9-3-5-7-1.
101
00:06:31,182 --> 00:06:33,393
People vs. Jonathan Rollins.
102
00:06:33,393 --> 00:06:36,187
Disorderly conduct,
resisting arrest,
103
00:06:36,187 --> 00:06:39,316
aggravated assault on
a police officer, two counts.
104
00:06:39,316 --> 00:06:40,734
Waive reading.
Defendant pleads not guilty.
105
00:06:40,734 --> 00:06:42,152
Question of bail?
106
00:06:42,152 --> 00:06:44,237
Your Honor, the accused
is a respected attorney,
107
00:06:44,237 --> 00:06:46,865
no criminal record,
we'll be looking for OR.
108
00:06:46,865 --> 00:06:48,283
There's a police officer
in the hospital
109
00:06:48,283 --> 00:06:50,035
with a broken jaw, judge.
110
00:06:50,035 --> 00:06:53,371
Michael: Which officer attacked
Mr. Rollins without provocation.
111
00:06:53,371 --> 00:06:54,831
He was resisting arrest.
112
00:06:54,831 --> 00:06:56,625
Your officers
wouldn't be pressing this
113
00:06:56,625 --> 00:06:59,377
to avoid brutality charges,
would they, Mr. Graphite?
114
00:06:59,377 --> 00:07:01,921
The defendant assaulted
a police officer, Your Honor.
115
00:07:01,921 --> 00:07:05,216
We ask for a preliminary hearing
at the earliest possible date.
116
00:07:05,216 --> 00:07:07,427
So that we can
refute these ridiculous charges
117
00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:10,013
and spare further damage
to Mr. Rollins' reputation.
118
00:07:10,013 --> 00:07:11,806
Tomorrow morning,
I'll do it myself.
119
00:07:11,806 --> 00:07:13,933
The defendant is released OR.
120
00:07:13,933 --> 00:07:16,603
Mr. Graphite,
sit down with your officers.
121
00:07:16,603 --> 00:07:18,313
If they made a mistake,
122
00:07:18,313 --> 00:07:21,191
I don't want them compounding
it in this courtroom.
123
00:07:21,191 --> 00:07:22,859
Next case.
124
00:07:22,859 --> 00:07:26,780
Man 2: Case number 5-0-9-7-2,
State vs. Bowcher.
125
00:07:28,490 --> 00:07:30,784
I find that acrimony,
if properly channeled,
126
00:07:30,784 --> 00:07:32,994
can result
in excellent productivity.
127
00:07:32,994 --> 00:07:35,580
Now, since you two
don't get along,
128
00:07:35,580 --> 00:07:37,332
let's simply
set some ground rules,
129
00:07:37,332 --> 00:07:40,043
so we can at least be clear
on needs and expectations.
130
00:07:40,043 --> 00:07:41,378
Arnold, you first.
131
00:07:43,296 --> 00:07:46,299
- This won't work, Douglas.
Douglas: Tell her your needs.
132
00:07:46,299 --> 00:07:47,425
Now.
133
00:07:49,177 --> 00:07:52,263
Alright, first and foremost,
134
00:07:52,263 --> 00:07:55,225
I need someone who realizes
that she is support staff,
135
00:07:55,225 --> 00:07:56,851
not somebody
to second guess me,
136
00:07:56,851 --> 00:07:59,270
not somebody to burden
with problems or questions,
137
00:07:59,270 --> 00:08:01,898
but a person who will help me
be a productive lawyer.
138
00:08:01,898 --> 00:08:04,109
Now, if that means getting me
coffee, you get me coffee.
139
00:08:04,109 --> 00:08:05,360
If it means
picking up my dry cleaning,
140
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,196
you get my dry cleaning.
You don't bitch.
141
00:08:08,196 --> 00:08:10,990
You don't even throw a
resentful look in my direction.
142
00:08:10,990 --> 00:08:13,535
You'll come in early some days,
you'll stay later others.
143
00:08:13,535 --> 00:08:15,328
You'll bring enthusiasm
to your work.
144
00:08:15,328 --> 00:08:16,496
You will bring effort
to your work.
145
00:08:16,496 --> 00:08:18,039
And most of all,
146
00:08:18,039 --> 00:08:20,375
you will offer up
total subordination.
147
00:08:23,712 --> 00:08:26,423
Those are my ground rules.
148
00:08:26,423 --> 00:08:27,590
Very simple.
149
00:08:27,590 --> 00:08:29,551
[sighs] Very good. Gwen.
150
00:08:29,551 --> 00:08:31,678
I type 90 words per minute.
151
00:08:31,678 --> 00:08:33,263
I take excellent shorthand,
152
00:08:33,263 --> 00:08:34,806
and I write
a pretty good letter.
153
00:08:34,806 --> 00:08:37,100
I will get you coffee
on an occasional basis
154
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:40,103
as a function of courtesy,
not employment.
155
00:08:40,103 --> 00:08:42,939
I will not go
near your dry cleaning.
156
00:08:42,939 --> 00:08:45,150
I come in at 9:00,
I leave at 6:00.
157
00:08:45,150 --> 00:08:46,818
If I have a question,
I'll ask it.
158
00:08:46,818 --> 00:08:48,570
If I have problems,
I'll address them.
159
00:08:48,570 --> 00:08:51,281
As far as your notions
of subordination go,
160
00:08:51,281 --> 00:08:53,742
I will be treated with respect
at all times.
161
00:08:53,742 --> 00:08:56,745
You'll keep your
sexist delusions to yourself.
162
00:08:56,745 --> 00:09:00,165
Your grabby paws
will not even brush against me,
163
00:09:00,165 --> 00:09:01,791
and if you mentally undress me,
164
00:09:01,791 --> 00:09:05,253
I will feed your groin
into the shredder.
165
00:09:05,253 --> 00:09:08,006
Those are my ground rules.
Very simple.
166
00:09:08,006 --> 00:09:10,759
Douglas: Well. Looks like
we're all clear.
167
00:09:12,052 --> 00:09:14,137
I think we have a team.
168
00:09:14,137 --> 00:09:16,931
CJ: What Mr. Long did
amounts to kidnapping.
169
00:09:16,931 --> 00:09:19,017
We have already
had a custody hearing,
170
00:09:19,017 --> 00:09:21,811
which custody
was awarded to my client.
171
00:09:21,811 --> 00:09:24,022
Wauneka: In your courts.
Now we go to ours.
172
00:09:24,022 --> 00:09:26,274
Counsel, the order
of this court stands.
173
00:09:26,274 --> 00:09:28,777
Your Honor,
the Indian Child Welfare Act
174
00:09:28,777 --> 00:09:30,528
is federal law
that gives the tribe
175
00:09:30,528 --> 00:09:31,905
exclusive jurisdiction
176
00:09:31,905 --> 00:09:33,323
over the placement
of Indian children.
177
00:09:33,323 --> 00:09:34,783
Judge Lobel: It's not exclusive.
178
00:09:34,783 --> 00:09:37,702
And that act exempts
final divorce decrees
179
00:09:37,702 --> 00:09:39,496
in our courts,
including custody decisions.
180
00:09:39,496 --> 00:09:41,998
Yes, but the ruling here
prejudiced my client,
181
00:09:41,998 --> 00:09:45,418
I am ordering you right now
to bring back that boy.
182
00:09:45,418 --> 00:09:46,669
That's not going to happen.
183
00:09:46,669 --> 00:09:49,255
I will lock you up for contempt.
184
00:09:49,255 --> 00:09:51,174
I'm not the one
disregarding your order.
185
00:09:53,092 --> 00:09:56,387
Ms. Long, I would send
the police if I could.
186
00:09:56,387 --> 00:09:59,057
But I am afraid that I have
no enforcement power
187
00:09:59,057 --> 00:10:01,267
on the Navajo reservation.
188
00:10:01,267 --> 00:10:02,894
What does that mean?
189
00:10:02,894 --> 00:10:05,480
Judge Lobel: What I'm saying is,
I can't do anything.
190
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,691
If you want your son back
anytime soon,
191
00:10:08,691 --> 00:10:10,819
it looks like you'll have
to go to Tribal Court.
192
00:10:10,819 --> 00:10:12,821
My client is White, Your Honor.
193
00:10:12,821 --> 00:10:14,823
Mr. Long is an Indian.
194
00:10:14,823 --> 00:10:17,158
How can we expect
to get an impartial hearing
195
00:10:17,158 --> 00:10:18,868
in a Navajo court?
196
00:10:18,868 --> 00:10:20,829
I don't know, Counsel.
197
00:10:20,829 --> 00:10:23,039
Mr. Wauneka,
you tell your client
198
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,291
that if this is the way
he wants to play,
199
00:10:25,291 --> 00:10:28,002
he better hope to hell he wins.
200
00:10:28,002 --> 00:10:30,213
Because if she
does get her son back,
201
00:10:30,213 --> 00:10:33,758
I'm cutting out
all unsupervised visitation.
202
00:10:35,802 --> 00:10:38,012
I'm sorry I couldn't be
of more help, ma'am.
203
00:10:38,012 --> 00:10:40,557
You'll have to take your case
to the Navajos.
204
00:10:44,602 --> 00:10:47,564
[instrumental music]
205
00:10:54,279 --> 00:10:57,740
Problem is, it's not just
the best interests of the child.
206
00:10:57,740 --> 00:11:00,994
These people factor in the
welfare of the tribe as well.
207
00:11:00,994 --> 00:11:02,912
Then how can I possibly win, really?
208
00:11:02,912 --> 00:11:04,372
Well, I'm told
that Navajo tradition
209
00:11:04,372 --> 00:11:05,874
does favor the mother.
210
00:11:05,874 --> 00:11:07,959
Not White mothers, they don't.
Trust me.
211
00:11:07,959 --> 00:11:11,045
Hey, listen,
whatever your attitudes are,
212
00:11:11,045 --> 00:11:13,548
you have
to show respect in there.
213
00:11:13,548 --> 00:11:17,927
If you alienate that court,
we will lose before we begin.
214
00:11:17,927 --> 00:11:19,721
Now, the only thing
I want them to see in you
215
00:11:19,721 --> 00:11:22,056
is a loving mother.
Okay?
216
00:11:25,852 --> 00:11:27,729
Josh!
217
00:11:27,729 --> 00:11:29,647
Hi.
218
00:11:29,647 --> 00:11:32,317
Ooh! [Josh cooing]
219
00:11:32,317 --> 00:11:34,235
Oh!
220
00:11:34,235 --> 00:11:38,489
Oh, I've missed you so much.
221
00:11:38,489 --> 00:11:40,783
How have you been, sweetheart?
222
00:11:40,783 --> 00:11:42,994
I just wanted to let you say,
"Hi."
223
00:11:42,994 --> 00:11:44,454
How can you do this to me?
224
00:11:46,331 --> 00:11:49,334
Can you take him back
to his grandparents, please?
225
00:11:49,334 --> 00:11:52,212
[crying]
226
00:12:02,180 --> 00:12:05,016
You're not taking away
my little boy. [crying]
227
00:12:05,016 --> 00:12:07,435
You're not going to do this.
He's all I have.
228
00:12:07,435 --> 00:12:09,145
[sighs] I didn't wanna do it
this way.
229
00:12:18,154 --> 00:12:20,281
Officer Jansen,
why did you detain
230
00:12:20,281 --> 00:12:22,575
Mr. Rollins on February 10th?
231
00:12:22,575 --> 00:12:24,577
We had a serial rapist
working the area.
232
00:12:24,577 --> 00:12:26,204
An hour earlier he beat
and raped
233
00:12:26,204 --> 00:12:28,081
a 60-year-old woman
half to death.
234
00:12:28,081 --> 00:12:30,375
The defendant
matched that description.
235
00:12:30,375 --> 00:12:33,127
And what happened
when you stopped Mr. Rollins?
236
00:12:33,127 --> 00:12:35,338
Jansen: After identifying
ourselves as police officers,
237
00:12:35,338 --> 00:12:37,131
we asked
for some identification.
238
00:12:37,131 --> 00:12:40,343
The suspect refused, and then
became abusive and belligerent.
239
00:12:40,343 --> 00:12:41,803
Graphite: Verbally
or physically?
240
00:12:41,803 --> 00:12:43,346
He called my partner a bastard,
241
00:12:43,346 --> 00:12:45,348
and then attempted
to flee the scene.
242
00:12:45,348 --> 00:12:47,225
When Sergeant Cobb
moved to detain him,
243
00:12:47,225 --> 00:12:49,060
the suspect assaulted him
in the face.
244
00:12:49,060 --> 00:12:51,604
At which point,
I then subdued the suspect
245
00:12:51,604 --> 00:12:53,022
and placed him under arrest.
246
00:12:53,022 --> 00:12:54,357
Thank you, officer.
247
00:12:58,653 --> 00:13:00,488
So you thought my client
was the rapist?
248
00:13:00,488 --> 00:13:02,407
He matched
the general description.
249
00:13:02,407 --> 00:13:05,410
I'll show you a printout copy
of the APB report
250
00:13:05,410 --> 00:13:07,662
giving a "General description"
251
00:13:07,662 --> 00:13:09,664
of the suspect.
Could you read it?
252
00:13:12,417 --> 00:13:14,752
"Black male, height '6"3,
weight 225."
253
00:13:14,752 --> 00:13:18,172
Victor: Mr. Rollins is '5"11
and he weighs 170.
254
00:13:18,172 --> 00:13:19,632
He is four inches shorter
255
00:13:19,632 --> 00:13:22,010
and fifty pounds lighter
than your rapist.
256
00:13:22,010 --> 00:13:23,511
It was dark.
257
00:13:23,511 --> 00:13:25,513
And he was Black
in an all-White neighborhood.
258
00:13:25,513 --> 00:13:27,181
- Objection.
- Withdrawn.
259
00:13:28,808 --> 00:13:30,977
Did you direct racial slurs
to my client?
260
00:13:30,977 --> 00:13:32,603
Nobody made any racial slurs.
261
00:13:32,603 --> 00:13:34,147
Did you tell him
that he didn't fit
262
00:13:34,147 --> 00:13:35,565
the profile of the neighborhood?
263
00:13:35,565 --> 00:13:37,066
He didn't, this was
264
00:13:37,066 --> 00:13:39,027
a White neighborhood,
your client is Black.
265
00:13:39,027 --> 00:13:41,070
We've questioned White people
in Black neighborhoods too.
266
00:13:41,070 --> 00:13:43,156
Do you put them in choke holds
and punch them in the kidneys?
267
00:13:43,156 --> 00:13:44,657
Graphite: Objection!
Jansen: I didn't punch him.
268
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:46,367
When he broke my partner's jaw,
I tried to
269
00:13:46,367 --> 00:13:48,327
restrain him
and he fell against the car.
270
00:13:48,327 --> 00:13:50,663
[laughs] That's your testimony?
271
00:13:50,663 --> 00:13:53,041
Mr. Rollins
fell against the car?
272
00:13:53,041 --> 00:13:54,959
Yeah, that's what happened.
Were you there?
273
00:13:59,338 --> 00:14:02,884
- I'm done here, Your Honor.
- You may step down.
274
00:14:02,884 --> 00:14:04,427
Judge 1: Anything further,
Mr. Graphite?
275
00:14:04,427 --> 00:14:07,013
No, Your Honor.
276
00:14:07,013 --> 00:14:08,723
Defense requests
immediate ruling,
277
00:14:08,723 --> 00:14:10,683
so I'm going to give it.
278
00:14:10,683 --> 00:14:14,604
Unfortunately,
it's not what you want to hear.
279
00:14:14,604 --> 00:14:16,689
Given Officer Jansen's
testimony,
280
00:14:16,689 --> 00:14:19,692
the signed statement
of Sergeant Cobb,
281
00:14:19,692 --> 00:14:22,862
and their exemplary records
as police officers,
282
00:14:22,862 --> 00:14:24,197
I find sufficient evidence
283
00:14:24,197 --> 00:14:26,616
to bind Mr. Rollins over
for trial.
284
00:14:26,616 --> 00:14:29,118
I'll hear scheduling motions
tomorrow.
285
00:14:29,118 --> 00:14:30,453
We're adjourned.
286
00:14:34,582 --> 00:14:36,876
Good.
Why don't we all just sit.
287
00:14:38,127 --> 00:14:40,338
Now, before we start drafting,
288
00:14:40,338 --> 00:14:42,131
we just want to get
a general idea
289
00:14:42,131 --> 00:14:44,801
as what you would want
this prenuptial to accomplish.
290
00:14:44,801 --> 00:14:46,969
John: Well, basically
this is coming from my family.
291
00:14:46,969 --> 00:14:48,930
They just want to protect
my inheritance.
292
00:14:48,930 --> 00:14:52,058
Anything I already have
or anything I make,
293
00:14:52,058 --> 00:14:53,684
Sarah can have.
294
00:14:53,684 --> 00:14:55,394
Is this okay with you, Sarah?
295
00:14:55,394 --> 00:14:58,606
Fine. Whatever makes
the uncles and aunts happy.
296
00:14:58,606 --> 00:15:01,526
- I just want John.
- That's sweet.
297
00:15:01,526 --> 00:15:03,736
But if I may, though,
I'd like to ask you,
298
00:15:03,736 --> 00:15:05,530
and I don't mean
to sound contentious,
299
00:15:05,530 --> 00:15:07,907
I'd like to ask you both,
before I start drafting,
300
00:15:07,907 --> 00:15:09,325
to give some
very serious thought
301
00:15:09,325 --> 00:15:10,535
as to what
this agreement represents.
302
00:15:10,535 --> 00:15:12,120
Meaning what?
303
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,621
Arnie: Meaning that
there is the possibility,
304
00:15:13,621 --> 00:15:15,957
in fact, the probability,
305
00:15:15,957 --> 00:15:18,751
that in the State of California,
this marriage will fail.
306
00:15:18,751 --> 00:15:21,379
Mr. Becker, this marriage
is not going to fail.
307
00:15:21,379 --> 00:15:22,922
Arnie: I certainly hope
it doesn't. I mean...
308
00:15:22,922 --> 00:15:24,549
You both outwardly
seem very committed,
309
00:15:24,549 --> 00:15:26,801
but let's at least recognize
the seed of doubt
310
00:15:26,801 --> 00:15:28,261
that's giving rise
to this very meeting.
311
00:15:28,261 --> 00:15:29,887
We don't have
any doubts, Arnie.
312
00:15:29,887 --> 00:15:31,514
I wouldn't be doing my job
as a lawyer, John,
313
00:15:31,514 --> 00:15:33,182
if I didn't play
a little devil's advocate.
314
00:15:33,182 --> 00:15:35,393
Now, we're here planning
for a contingency.
315
00:15:35,393 --> 00:15:37,728
Should that contingency
become a reality,
316
00:15:37,728 --> 00:15:39,188
neither of you
are gonna be feeling
317
00:15:39,188 --> 00:15:41,274
as charitable as you do
at this moment.
318
00:15:41,274 --> 00:15:43,192
Sarah, suppose he sleeps around.
319
00:15:43,192 --> 00:15:45,278
- Arnie.
- What is this?
320
00:15:45,278 --> 00:15:46,904
Arnie: Oh, I'm not saying
we do it willingly, John.
321
00:15:46,904 --> 00:15:48,698
But God forbid
you could fall ill.
322
00:15:48,698 --> 00:15:51,200
Recent studies show a rising
occurrence of satyriasis,
323
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:52,827
as well as sex addiction.
If this--
324
00:15:52,827 --> 00:15:55,037
Arnie, I think
that's a little remote.
325
00:15:55,037 --> 00:15:57,707
Excuse me, are you an attorney?
326
00:15:57,707 --> 00:15:59,834
What happens
if you have children, Sarah?
327
00:15:59,834 --> 00:16:01,043
Are you gonna wanna
snatch the kids
328
00:16:01,043 --> 00:16:02,336
from the fruits
of their inheritance
329
00:16:02,336 --> 00:16:03,629
as well as the love
of their father?
330
00:16:03,629 --> 00:16:05,131
This is ridiculous.
331
00:16:05,131 --> 00:16:07,008
It's not ridiculous.
332
00:16:07,008 --> 00:16:09,844
You two have to see marriage
as the plank walk that it is.
333
00:16:09,844 --> 00:16:11,554
Statistically speaking, you two
334
00:16:11,554 --> 00:16:13,139
could end up
hating each other.
335
00:16:13,139 --> 00:16:15,016
And it's with an eye
for that hatred
336
00:16:15,016 --> 00:16:16,684
that you should
draw up this agreement.
337
00:16:18,811 --> 00:16:20,354
We'd only been back
on the reservation
338
00:16:20,354 --> 00:16:22,440
eight months when she left.
339
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,193
She filed for divorce in LA.
340
00:16:25,193 --> 00:16:26,736
Wauneka: Where she was
afforded full custody
341
00:16:26,736 --> 00:16:29,238
and you got visitation rights.
342
00:16:29,238 --> 00:16:32,450
But this last time you took him
for a visit
343
00:16:32,450 --> 00:16:33,701
you decided to keep him.
344
00:16:33,701 --> 00:16:35,828
My son's a Navajo, Mr. Wauneka.
345
00:16:35,828 --> 00:16:38,623
In the White world he'll be
raised to be ashamed of that.
346
00:16:38,623 --> 00:16:40,041
You don't think
he could be raised
347
00:16:40,041 --> 00:16:42,793
to appreciate his culture
in Los Angeles?
348
00:16:42,793 --> 00:16:44,921
I lived there.
349
00:16:44,921 --> 00:16:48,007
Do you think all White men
hate the Indian?
350
00:16:48,007 --> 00:16:49,967
There are two kinds.
351
00:16:49,967 --> 00:16:53,179
The ones who dismiss us
just because our skin is red.
352
00:16:53,179 --> 00:16:57,266
And the others who welcome us
and encourage us to be White.
353
00:16:57,266 --> 00:17:00,019
Do you have any reason
to believe that your ex-wife
354
00:17:00,019 --> 00:17:02,647
would be guilty
of this kind of discrimination?
355
00:17:02,647 --> 00:17:04,899
She will make him
forget his Navajo culture.
356
00:17:04,899 --> 00:17:08,069
Objection. This man does
not know my client's intent.
357
00:17:08,069 --> 00:17:10,321
I know her,
I know she'll raise him
358
00:17:10,321 --> 00:17:13,449
with White man's dreams,
chasing White man's success.
359
00:17:13,449 --> 00:17:16,702
And he'll end up
with White man's contempt
360
00:17:16,702 --> 00:17:18,829
for the Indian.
361
00:17:18,829 --> 00:17:20,164
Wauneka: I have nothing further.
362
00:17:23,584 --> 00:17:26,045
You yourself were brought upon
an Indian reservation,
363
00:17:26,045 --> 00:17:28,589
yet, ten years ago you left
364
00:17:28,589 --> 00:17:29,966
to pursue
"White man's success,"
365
00:17:29,966 --> 00:17:31,592
is that right, Mr. Long?
366
00:17:31,592 --> 00:17:33,135
- I made a mistake.
- Yes.
367
00:17:33,135 --> 00:17:36,013
But the truth is,
growing up on a reservation
368
00:17:36,013 --> 00:17:38,432
doesn't prevent one
from chasing Western dreams.
369
00:17:38,432 --> 00:17:40,434
- Does it?
- May be not.
370
00:17:40,434 --> 00:17:42,687
CJ: And the only reason you
came back to the reservation
371
00:17:42,687 --> 00:17:43,938
is because
your painting business
372
00:17:43,938 --> 00:17:45,898
in Los Angeles went bankrupt.
373
00:17:45,898 --> 00:17:47,066
- Is that right?
- So?
374
00:17:47,066 --> 00:17:49,485
So, you came back to a place
375
00:17:49,485 --> 00:17:51,946
where you could feel safe.
376
00:17:51,946 --> 00:17:54,073
And you're sitting here today
looking to get custody,
377
00:17:54,073 --> 00:17:57,034
not so you can pass
on your hopes to Joshua,
378
00:17:57,034 --> 00:17:58,536
but rather your fears.
379
00:17:58,536 --> 00:18:01,163
Your fear and hatred
of the White world.
380
00:18:01,163 --> 00:18:03,207
You don't know
the first thing about me.
381
00:18:03,207 --> 00:18:05,334
I know that you lying
to this court.
382
00:18:05,334 --> 00:18:07,336
Objection!
383
00:18:07,336 --> 00:18:09,380
Why do you call this man
a liar?
384
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:11,966
Is it true
when you married my client
385
00:18:11,966 --> 00:18:15,678
you told her you wanted
opportunities for your son?
386
00:18:15,678 --> 00:18:18,681
Chances you never had
growing up on a reservation?
387
00:18:18,681 --> 00:18:20,016
I said I was mistaken.
388
00:18:20,016 --> 00:18:21,600
I show you a picture.
389
00:18:26,689 --> 00:18:29,692
A picture you yourself drew
for my client.
390
00:18:32,820 --> 00:18:34,739
This is a drawing
of your reservation.
391
00:18:34,739 --> 00:18:37,325
- Do you remember this?
- [sighs] Yes.
392
00:18:37,325 --> 00:18:39,952
Did you draw these coyotes
and owls around it?
393
00:18:39,952 --> 00:18:41,287
Let me see that.
394
00:18:46,667 --> 00:18:48,711
- Did you draw this?
- I'm sorry, Your Honor.
395
00:18:48,711 --> 00:18:49,837
[speaks Navajo]
396
00:18:51,088 --> 00:18:52,423
[speaks Navajo]
397
00:18:52,423 --> 00:18:53,924
For the record,
could you tell us
398
00:18:53,924 --> 00:18:57,303
the symbolism
of the coyotes and the owls.
399
00:18:57,303 --> 00:19:01,182
They're messengers of...
illness and bad luck.
400
00:19:01,182 --> 00:19:02,642
And death.
401
00:19:02,642 --> 00:19:04,602
This picture,
in your opinion, means that
402
00:19:04,602 --> 00:19:06,437
the Navajo reservation
is dying.
403
00:19:06,437 --> 00:19:08,022
Is that right, Mr. Long ?
404
00:19:11,692 --> 00:19:13,277
I have nothing further.
405
00:19:17,239 --> 00:19:18,574
Come along. Right here.
406
00:19:22,370 --> 00:19:25,790
Graphite: Alright, look,
this is the situation.
407
00:19:25,790 --> 00:19:27,583
Upon a closer look
at the events,
408
00:19:27,583 --> 00:19:29,877
we agree that it's possible,
409
00:19:29,877 --> 00:19:33,214
possible that the officers
were a little reactive.
410
00:19:33,214 --> 00:19:36,384
- Reactive? I don't think you--
- Jonathan. And?
411
00:19:36,384 --> 00:19:37,802
But nevertheless,
you did resist,
412
00:19:37,802 --> 00:19:39,553
and a policeman got hurt.
413
00:19:39,553 --> 00:19:41,222
We can't dismiss.
414
00:19:41,222 --> 00:19:43,641
But we'll plea it out
to misdemeanor battery.
415
00:19:43,641 --> 00:19:45,226
You're just looking
for a conviction to insulate
416
00:19:45,226 --> 00:19:46,894
the department
from a civil suit.
417
00:19:46,894 --> 00:19:48,187
That's not gonna happen.
418
00:19:48,187 --> 00:19:50,106
Then we got another problem.
419
00:19:50,106 --> 00:19:51,482
See, the grandmother
that was raped,
420
00:19:51,482 --> 00:19:52,900
we showed her your picture,
421
00:19:52,900 --> 00:19:54,527
with others, of course.
422
00:19:54,527 --> 00:19:56,654
And while she couldn't
conclusively ID you
423
00:19:56,654 --> 00:19:59,615
as the rapist, she couldn't
rule you out either.
424
00:19:59,615 --> 00:20:02,034
- Come on.
- What the hell is this, Rogoff?
425
00:20:02,034 --> 00:20:03,702
Rogoff : Hey,
I don't suspect him.
426
00:20:03,702 --> 00:20:06,872
At least not with what
I've seen so far.
427
00:20:06,872 --> 00:20:10,376
But you were in the area
of the rape
428
00:20:10,376 --> 00:20:12,420
at the time of the rape.
429
00:20:12,420 --> 00:20:14,505
The victim's fingered you
as a possible.
430
00:20:14,505 --> 00:20:16,132
Bastards. You won't
get away with this.
431
00:20:16,132 --> 00:20:18,092
Graphite: We're not
accusing you, Mr. Rollins.
432
00:20:18,092 --> 00:20:20,594
We're just trying to apprise
you of all the circumstances.
433
00:20:20,594 --> 00:20:22,096
Look, let's get
to the bottom line here.
434
00:20:22,096 --> 00:20:23,431
What the hell is your message?
435
00:20:23,431 --> 00:20:25,015
Let's get rid of this.
436
00:20:25,015 --> 00:20:27,017
The fact that she said
it could be you.
437
00:20:27,017 --> 00:20:28,894
Well, those officers
will be screaming that
438
00:20:28,894 --> 00:20:31,897
as loud as they can if they're
forced to defend themselves.
439
00:20:31,897 --> 00:20:34,483
Take the plea,
the book on this gets closed.
440
00:20:34,483 --> 00:20:37,403
Refuse the plea,
everything stays open-ended.
441
00:20:38,863 --> 00:20:40,197
There's your message.
442
00:20:41,449 --> 00:20:44,368
[intense music]
443
00:20:46,328 --> 00:20:47,872
Sons of bitches.
444
00:20:54,545 --> 00:20:57,465
[instrumental music]
445
00:21:01,927 --> 00:21:03,637
What do you mean
I have got no case?
446
00:21:03,637 --> 00:21:06,098
They said
I slept with my stepmother.
447
00:21:06,098 --> 00:21:09,268
Well, you had that affair
with Rusty, Douglas.
448
00:21:09,268 --> 00:21:11,645
And she did give birth
to your half brother.
449
00:21:11,645 --> 00:21:14,815
While she may not technically
be your stepmother,
450
00:21:14,815 --> 00:21:16,233
we won't make libel here.
451
00:21:16,233 --> 00:21:17,776
What about the part saying
I like sex
452
00:21:17,776 --> 00:21:20,905
with senior citizens
and prostitutes?
453
00:21:20,905 --> 00:21:24,492
Well, Rusty was in her 60s,
and, uh, Marilyn,
454
00:21:24,492 --> 00:21:26,911
even though
she's a legitimate surrogate,
455
00:21:26,911 --> 00:21:30,331
basically engages in sex
for money.
456
00:21:30,331 --> 00:21:31,624
What about this one?
457
00:21:31,624 --> 00:21:35,503
This was in "Stargazer."
458
00:21:35,503 --> 00:21:37,630
"His shiny head hurts my eyes."
459
00:21:40,174 --> 00:21:42,551
I'll uh, I'll look it over.
460
00:21:42,551 --> 00:21:44,470
You rang? Oh, sorry.
461
00:21:44,470 --> 00:21:46,180
John Barkley
wants to leave the firm.
462
00:21:46,180 --> 00:21:47,890
- What happened?
- I don't know.
463
00:21:47,890 --> 00:21:49,475
The guy's an egg shell.
I just pointed out--
464
00:21:49,475 --> 00:21:51,185
He stands to inherit
his father's company.
465
00:21:51,185 --> 00:21:53,687
This could potentially be
one of our biggest clients.
466
00:21:53,687 --> 00:21:56,398
- I'll get him back, Douglas.
- A simple prenup!
467
00:21:56,398 --> 00:21:57,566
And you end up
costing the firm--
468
00:21:57,566 --> 00:21:59,151
I said I will get him back.
469
00:21:59,151 --> 00:22:00,778
So just lay off.
470
00:22:00,778 --> 00:22:02,446
Do you hear me, Senior Partner?
471
00:22:02,446 --> 00:22:04,198
Lay off.
472
00:22:07,993 --> 00:22:09,828
Landale: In addition to being
a Doctor of Psychology,
473
00:22:09,828 --> 00:22:12,164
I'm also
a Professor of Anthropology.
474
00:22:12,164 --> 00:22:14,583
- And you're a half-breed.
- Yes, I am.
475
00:22:14,583 --> 00:22:16,293
So I feel I can tell you
both, personally
476
00:22:16,293 --> 00:22:19,213
as well as professionally,
raising Indian children
477
00:22:19,213 --> 00:22:21,799
in White families
does not work.
478
00:22:21,799 --> 00:22:23,717
Because they are raised White,
with absolutely
479
00:22:23,717 --> 00:22:25,344
no sense
of their Indian culture.
480
00:22:25,344 --> 00:22:27,012
Wauneka: What's so wrong
with that?
481
00:22:27,012 --> 00:22:28,430
Landale: When they hit
adolescence, they run
482
00:22:28,430 --> 00:22:30,182
head-first into a society
that will be
483
00:22:30,182 --> 00:22:32,726
telling them
they're not White.
484
00:22:32,726 --> 00:22:34,436
And since they have
no Indian heritage
485
00:22:34,436 --> 00:22:35,938
to fall back on,
486
00:22:35,938 --> 00:22:38,190
they virtually become
nonpersons.
487
00:22:38,190 --> 00:22:41,610
This type of situation
is extremely destructive.
488
00:22:41,610 --> 00:22:44,989
But, doctor,
what if Mrs. Long were careful
489
00:22:44,989 --> 00:22:47,491
to make Joshua
aware of his culture?
490
00:22:47,491 --> 00:22:49,034
Landale: Well, that is
a very nice idea,
491
00:22:49,034 --> 00:22:51,912
but the reality is
if you assimilate this child
492
00:22:51,912 --> 00:22:53,872
into a totally
White environment
493
00:22:53,872 --> 00:22:57,459
he's still gonna grow up
with a White social identity.
494
00:22:57,459 --> 00:22:59,545
His identity will eventually be
stripped away
495
00:22:59,545 --> 00:23:01,422
no matter what Mrs. Long does.
496
00:23:01,422 --> 00:23:03,340
It is in any child's
best interest
497
00:23:03,340 --> 00:23:05,217
to see their race preserved.
498
00:23:05,217 --> 00:23:07,177
The American-Indian
is facing extinction.
499
00:23:07,177 --> 00:23:08,971
So whenever you take
an American-Indian child
500
00:23:08,971 --> 00:23:11,181
off the reservation
and assimilate them
501
00:23:11,181 --> 00:23:12,808
into a White society,
502
00:23:12,808 --> 00:23:15,311
you're fostering
cultural genocide.
503
00:23:15,311 --> 00:23:17,438
It's certainly not
in Joshua Long's best interest
504
00:23:17,438 --> 00:23:19,315
to see his people wiped out.
505
00:23:19,315 --> 00:23:20,858
Thank you, Dr. Landale.
That's all.
506
00:23:25,779 --> 00:23:28,866
You never made an examination
of this particular child
507
00:23:28,866 --> 00:23:32,119
to determine which parent he'd
be better off with, did you?
508
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,246
And, doctor, what would happen
to a boy's ability
509
00:23:34,246 --> 00:23:38,125
to bond and trust should he
be taken away from his mother?
510
00:23:38,125 --> 00:23:40,127
Landale: It'd be compromised.
CJ: Compromised?
511
00:23:40,127 --> 00:23:42,254
CJ: The damage could be
irreparable, couldn't it?
512
00:23:42,254 --> 00:23:44,381
A separation for a child
more than six months old
513
00:23:44,381 --> 00:23:45,841
rarely causes long-term harm.
514
00:23:45,841 --> 00:23:47,635
But it could.
515
00:23:47,635 --> 00:23:49,928
Severing the boy's ties
to the American-Indian tribe
516
00:23:49,928 --> 00:23:51,305
could be just as devastating.
517
00:23:51,305 --> 00:23:52,932
What is the leading
cause of death
518
00:23:52,932 --> 00:23:55,267
on the Navajo reservation?
519
00:23:55,267 --> 00:23:56,769
Alcoholism.
520
00:23:56,769 --> 00:23:58,062
CJ: And what's
the life expectancy of
521
00:23:58,062 --> 00:24:00,564
an Indian male
on the reservation?
522
00:24:00,564 --> 00:24:02,733
It is approximately
45 years of age.
523
00:24:02,733 --> 00:24:04,860
Did any of this factor
into consideration
524
00:24:04,860 --> 00:24:06,779
of Joshua's best interest?
525
00:24:06,779 --> 00:24:08,572
Medically, may be the Indian
is not that advanced.
526
00:24:08,572 --> 00:24:10,282
- Yes. But--
- What about education?
527
00:24:10,282 --> 00:24:11,950
What about unemployment?
528
00:24:11,950 --> 00:24:13,535
What about the fact
that half the Indian
529
00:24:13,535 --> 00:24:15,871
population
lives below the poverty line?
530
00:24:15,871 --> 00:24:18,207
You're raising the subjective
standards of the White man.
531
00:24:18,207 --> 00:24:20,834
CJ: I'm talking about
the threat of hunger,
532
00:24:20,834 --> 00:24:23,754
the threat of poverty,
illiteracy and death
533
00:24:23,754 --> 00:24:25,506
being greater
in the Indian world
534
00:24:25,506 --> 00:24:27,424
than it is in Western society.
535
00:24:27,424 --> 00:24:29,343
Are those subjective standards
to you?
536
00:24:29,343 --> 00:24:30,928
It is the White man's
obliteration
537
00:24:30,928 --> 00:24:32,846
of American-Indian
that has caused this.
538
00:24:32,846 --> 00:24:35,849
I'm not asking
what did the damage, doctor.
539
00:24:35,849 --> 00:24:40,020
I am just asking you
to admit the damage.
540
00:24:40,020 --> 00:24:42,231
It is my professional opinion
that this child
541
00:24:42,231 --> 00:24:44,900
is better off
in the Indian community.
542
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:48,112
Yes, your opinion
is very clear.
543
00:24:48,112 --> 00:24:49,905
And where do you live,
Dr. Landale?
544
00:24:49,905 --> 00:24:52,324
- Objection.
- No.
545
00:24:53,867 --> 00:24:55,119
Where do you live?
546
00:24:57,538 --> 00:24:58,789
Phoenix.
547
00:24:58,789 --> 00:25:00,499
Thank you.
548
00:25:00,499 --> 00:25:02,626
I have nothing further.
549
00:25:02,626 --> 00:25:05,087
Come on, we got to be
able to do something.
550
00:25:05,087 --> 00:25:06,672
Are you sure
they didn't say anything
551
00:25:06,672 --> 00:25:07,881
that we could go public with?
552
00:25:07,881 --> 00:25:09,299
No. It was all scripted.
553
00:25:09,299 --> 00:25:10,676
They were careful
to paint the threat
554
00:25:10,676 --> 00:25:12,219
without crossing
the line of extortion.
555
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:14,304
But the message was there,
if Jonathan fights,
556
00:25:14,304 --> 00:25:15,889
they put it out
he's a rape suspect.
557
00:25:15,889 --> 00:25:18,183
I don't like to give in
to this kind of crap.
558
00:25:18,183 --> 00:25:19,685
But I don't know
what else to do.
559
00:25:19,685 --> 00:25:21,895
I'm not pleading out, Michael.
I can't.
560
00:25:21,895 --> 00:25:24,189
I make that deal
and those two cops walk away,
561
00:25:24,189 --> 00:25:25,941
heads high, totally vindicated.
562
00:25:25,941 --> 00:25:27,526
Jonathan, if you don't plea
563
00:25:27,526 --> 00:25:29,236
the stain of that woman
ID-ing you--
564
00:25:29,236 --> 00:25:30,446
She didn't ID me.
565
00:25:30,446 --> 00:25:32,197
Grace: As a possible, she did.
566
00:25:32,197 --> 00:25:33,866
I don't care how inconclusive
567
00:25:33,866 --> 00:25:36,076
or tainted the make was.
568
00:25:36,076 --> 00:25:37,870
Do you realize
that all they have to do is say
569
00:25:37,870 --> 00:25:40,164
that there is evidence
against you,
570
00:25:40,164 --> 00:25:41,957
but insufficient to prosecute.
571
00:25:41,957 --> 00:25:44,710
Your career...
it'll be dead forever.
572
00:25:44,710 --> 00:25:46,712
Not to mention your reputation.
573
00:25:46,712 --> 00:25:48,547
I can't take a plea here.
574
00:25:48,547 --> 00:25:50,716
I would never be able
to live with myself.
575
00:25:50,716 --> 00:25:52,176
Victor, man, come on.
576
00:25:52,176 --> 00:25:53,761
You have to know
what I'm saying.
577
00:25:53,761 --> 00:25:55,929
I know exactly
what you're saying, Jonathan.
578
00:25:55,929 --> 00:25:57,473
But if we fight here...
579
00:25:58,724 --> 00:26:00,142
you get hurt worse.
580
00:26:01,477 --> 00:26:04,229
[scoffs]
581
00:26:04,229 --> 00:26:07,441
Oh, for God's sake, people,
we're all smart lawyers here.
582
00:26:07,441 --> 00:26:09,193
We've got to be able
to come up with something.
583
00:26:09,193 --> 00:26:10,944
We can't just let him
die on the vine.
584
00:26:12,696 --> 00:26:14,782
John, can we please
just talk a little?
585
00:26:14,782 --> 00:26:17,201
Forget the talk.
Just give me the check.
586
00:26:17,201 --> 00:26:18,702
You tried to sabotage
the whole wedding,
587
00:26:18,702 --> 00:26:20,120
for God's sake. I don't--
588
00:26:20,120 --> 00:26:22,122
- If you'll just hear me out.
- No.
589
00:26:22,122 --> 00:26:24,833
One thing I will not do
is hear you out.
590
00:26:24,833 --> 00:26:27,169
The things you said...
My God!
591
00:26:27,169 --> 00:26:29,630
How can anybody spew out
that kind of crap
592
00:26:29,630 --> 00:26:31,507
to two people about
to get married? Thank you.
593
00:26:31,507 --> 00:26:33,842
I was just being honest,
if I offended--
594
00:26:33,842 --> 00:26:35,761
You did. Good-bye.
595
00:26:35,761 --> 00:26:37,513
Um, if I could be so blunt,
Mr. Barkley,
596
00:26:37,513 --> 00:26:39,014
I think you're being
a little silly.
597
00:26:39,014 --> 00:26:41,225
- Gwen.
- That's okay.
598
00:26:41,225 --> 00:26:42,976
- Why am I being silly?
- Well...
599
00:26:42,976 --> 00:26:45,854
A lawyer is supposed to protect
the client from disaster,
600
00:26:45,854 --> 00:26:48,732
not play emotional cheerleader
in praise of marital bliss.
601
00:26:48,732 --> 00:26:51,235
That's the minister's job.
602
00:26:51,235 --> 00:26:55,030
Now, as for Arnie,
specifically... come on.
603
00:26:55,030 --> 00:26:56,824
He doesn't know the first thing
about what it takes
604
00:26:56,824 --> 00:26:58,450
to build a relationship
of any kind.
605
00:26:58,450 --> 00:27:01,036
- Excuse me?
- No offense, Arnie.
606
00:27:01,036 --> 00:27:02,454
He just came out
of a failed marriage
607
00:27:02,454 --> 00:27:04,039
which he himself wrecked.
608
00:27:04,039 --> 00:27:05,624
He has no concept of fidelity.
609
00:27:05,624 --> 00:27:07,835
He's devoid of any ability
to trust,
610
00:27:07,835 --> 00:27:09,336
and he wouldn't share
a stick of gum,
611
00:27:09,336 --> 00:27:10,838
much less his feelings.
612
00:27:10,838 --> 00:27:12,506
But...
613
00:27:12,506 --> 00:27:14,591
when it comes to the breakdown
of relationships
614
00:27:14,591 --> 00:27:16,802
and all the legal consequences
that are involved,
615
00:27:16,802 --> 00:27:19,054
that he knows.
616
00:27:19,054 --> 00:27:23,267
That, Arnold Becker knows
better than anybody.
617
00:27:23,267 --> 00:27:25,269
So I guess the question here is
are you looking
618
00:27:25,269 --> 00:27:27,604
for a guidance counselor
or a divorce lawyer?
619
00:27:27,604 --> 00:27:29,815
Well, I'm looking for someone
a little less destructive
620
00:27:29,815 --> 00:27:31,191
to the welfare of the marriage.
621
00:27:31,191 --> 00:27:33,193
Did he say anything
that even remotely
622
00:27:33,193 --> 00:27:35,362
threatened your relationship
to Sarah?
623
00:27:35,362 --> 00:27:36,989
- No.
- No.
624
00:27:36,989 --> 00:27:39,366
- No, but he tried.
- It's his job to try.
625
00:27:39,366 --> 00:27:41,660
Gwen: To look for the seams
and to build a prenup
626
00:27:41,660 --> 00:27:46,081
that will protect you if those
seams should ever split.
627
00:27:46,081 --> 00:27:47,499
Give me back the check
Mr. Barkley,
628
00:27:47,499 --> 00:27:49,459
let's put that money
to good use.
629
00:28:02,180 --> 00:28:03,181
Sweetheart.
630
00:28:04,308 --> 00:28:05,309
Baby.
631
00:28:06,435 --> 00:28:08,562
- Mmm.
- Hi.
632
00:28:08,562 --> 00:28:09,688
- Hi.
- Mmm.
633
00:28:11,189 --> 00:28:12,691
- How much?
- No.
634
00:28:12,691 --> 00:28:15,110
I don't need any money
this time, I promise.
635
00:28:15,110 --> 00:28:17,029
Oh, God.
636
00:28:17,029 --> 00:28:18,780
The last time you showed up
unexpected,
637
00:28:18,780 --> 00:28:21,617
not wanting any money,
you proposed.
638
00:28:21,617 --> 00:28:24,536
Please, let me write you
a check.
639
00:28:24,536 --> 00:28:27,539
I need a favor, kiddo.
It's a big one.
640
00:28:27,539 --> 00:28:30,125
- Uh-oh. The tone.
- Yeah.
641
00:28:30,125 --> 00:28:32,294
Name Jonathan Rollins
mean anything?
642
00:28:32,294 --> 00:28:34,379
[sighs] Come on, Tommy
643
00:28:34,379 --> 00:28:36,506
the whole department's
talking about that one.
644
00:28:36,506 --> 00:28:39,593
He works in my firm.
And he's a friend, Zoe.
645
00:28:39,593 --> 00:28:42,095
- You know what's going down?
- Yeah, I hear some things.
646
00:28:42,095 --> 00:28:44,514
Tommy: He's innocent.
647
00:28:44,514 --> 00:28:46,516
And you know that, too,
don't ya?
648
00:28:46,516 --> 00:28:49,561
Look, honey, I don't mean
to get you in trouble.
649
00:28:49,561 --> 00:28:51,813
But your people here
are making him take a fall
650
00:28:51,813 --> 00:28:53,732
for somethin' he didn't do.
651
00:28:53,732 --> 00:28:55,609
Now, that kind of stuff don't
sit with too good with you...
652
00:28:55,609 --> 00:28:57,444
Tommy: We both know this.
- What do you want from me?
653
00:28:57,444 --> 00:29:00,572
I want you to get involved,
if you can make it go away,
654
00:29:00,572 --> 00:29:02,199
I want you to make it go away.
655
00:29:02,199 --> 00:29:03,325
[sighs]
656
00:29:09,498 --> 00:29:11,291
I can't help you on this.
657
00:29:15,253 --> 00:29:17,005
This isn't just the police
658
00:29:17,005 --> 00:29:18,840
protecting
a couple of reckless cops.
659
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,926
- This is bigger.
- How much bigger?
660
00:29:20,926 --> 00:29:23,011
[sighs]
661
00:29:23,011 --> 00:29:24,554
Well, word around the office
is that
662
00:29:24,554 --> 00:29:26,264
Rogoff owes the police
some serious
663
00:29:26,264 --> 00:29:28,934
political payback. They've come
collecting on this.
664
00:29:28,934 --> 00:29:31,645
Dig it up for me, Zoe. You've
gotta give me something I can--
665
00:29:31,645 --> 00:29:35,232
I don't have anything
you can use!
666
00:29:35,232 --> 00:29:38,068
You can't win this, Tommy.
Don't try to be a hero.
667
00:29:38,068 --> 00:29:40,070
- The kid needs a hero.
- Tommy!
668
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:41,697
Look, Zoe, I'm sorry.
669
00:29:41,697 --> 00:29:44,449
I know I got no right
putting you in the middle.
670
00:29:44,449 --> 00:29:47,995
But this thing, it's just
a little hard
671
00:29:47,995 --> 00:29:50,330
to walk away from.
672
00:29:50,330 --> 00:29:52,666
I wish I could help you. I do.
673
00:29:54,001 --> 00:29:56,670
Yeah. Me too.
674
00:30:12,477 --> 00:30:13,979
Cindy?
675
00:30:13,979 --> 00:30:15,564
Never mind. Cindy, wait.
676
00:30:15,564 --> 00:30:17,482
Uh, get me
the Brian Chisolm file.
677
00:30:17,482 --> 00:30:18,734
All of it. Right now.
678
00:30:21,737 --> 00:30:23,447
Janice: I don't doubt
Jim's ability
679
00:30:23,447 --> 00:30:26,074
to be a good father,
and I know he loves his son
680
00:30:26,074 --> 00:30:27,576
very much.
681
00:30:29,286 --> 00:30:32,080
But I've taken care of Joshua
all his life.
682
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,083
I've been with him every day.
I can't...
683
00:30:35,083 --> 00:30:36,626
He should be with me.
684
00:30:36,626 --> 00:30:39,838
CJ: I think the fear
is if Joshua lives with you
685
00:30:39,838 --> 00:30:41,673
he will lose out
on his Indian culture.
686
00:30:41,673 --> 00:30:44,342
I don't intend to make him
forget he's an Indian.
687
00:30:44,342 --> 00:30:47,054
And maybe I can't give him some
of the things you talk about.
688
00:30:47,054 --> 00:30:50,098
Some of the Indian ways.
But I'm his mother.
689
00:30:50,098 --> 00:30:53,268
And I'm the only one
that can give him that.
690
00:30:53,268 --> 00:30:55,437
Whatever any little boy
may need growing up
691
00:30:55,437 --> 00:30:57,564
in any society or culture.
692
00:30:57,564 --> 00:31:00,150
My God,
he has to have his mother.
693
00:31:00,150 --> 00:31:03,278
Thank you, Mrs. Long.
I have nothing further.
694
00:31:08,658 --> 00:31:12,287
You yourself rejected the
Indian way of life, didn't you?
695
00:31:12,287 --> 00:31:15,207
I rejected living on
a reservation, yes, I did.
696
00:31:15,207 --> 00:31:18,168
What's a Healing way,
Mrs. Long?
697
00:31:18,168 --> 00:31:21,797
- I'm not sure. It's Navajo--
- It's an Indian ceremony.
698
00:31:21,797 --> 00:31:23,548
- What's a Flintway?
- Objection.
699
00:31:23,548 --> 00:31:25,300
Wauneka: Your Honor,
the witness suggests
700
00:31:25,300 --> 00:31:28,053
that she won't cause the child
to abandon his heritage,
701
00:31:28,053 --> 00:31:29,513
when it's clear
that she herself
702
00:31:29,513 --> 00:31:31,389
doesn't know anything
about how we live.
703
00:31:31,389 --> 00:31:32,682
Well, let me tell you
about how I lived
704
00:31:32,682 --> 00:31:35,185
on your reservation,
Mr. Wauneka.
705
00:31:35,185 --> 00:31:37,687
I had to chop wood
and lug water every day.
706
00:31:37,687 --> 00:31:39,106
Move to strike.
707
00:31:39,106 --> 00:31:41,441
No. I want to hear her answer.
708
00:31:41,441 --> 00:31:43,902
I was ostracized
because I couldn't herd sheep
709
00:31:43,902 --> 00:31:45,529
or speak Navajo.
710
00:31:45,529 --> 00:31:48,115
I had to live in a hogan
without electricity,
711
00:31:48,115 --> 00:31:49,533
without running water.
712
00:31:49,533 --> 00:31:53,829
And as a White person...
I was the enemy.
713
00:31:53,829 --> 00:31:55,497
And none of you can deny that.
714
00:31:55,497 --> 00:31:57,499
I was treated as an outsider.
715
00:31:58,959 --> 00:32:00,710
If I rejected you, Mr. Wauneka,
716
00:32:00,710 --> 00:32:02,629
it's because
you rejected me first.
717
00:32:04,089 --> 00:32:06,216
My son is Indian
718
00:32:06,216 --> 00:32:07,759
and I want him to know that.
719
00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:09,719
And I want him
to be proud of that.
720
00:32:09,719 --> 00:32:11,304
But more than anything else
I want to
721
00:32:11,304 --> 00:32:14,391
try to teach him
that people are people
722
00:32:14,391 --> 00:32:15,642
are people.
723
00:32:17,310 --> 00:32:19,104
Race doesn't matter.
724
00:32:19,104 --> 00:32:21,064
At least not to me.
725
00:32:21,064 --> 00:32:24,776
Are you telling us that
his Indian race doesn't matter?
726
00:32:24,776 --> 00:32:26,069
Oh, it matters.
727
00:32:27,487 --> 00:32:29,698
It matters.
728
00:32:29,698 --> 00:32:33,493
But what matters more
is that I'm that boy's mother.
729
00:32:33,493 --> 00:32:35,412
I gave birth
to that little boy.
730
00:32:36,788 --> 00:32:39,708
And he shouldn't lose me...
731
00:32:39,708 --> 00:32:41,918
just because I'm White.
732
00:32:48,758 --> 00:32:50,343
I don't think
there's much doubt
733
00:32:50,343 --> 00:32:53,805
that both parents
love Joshua very much.
734
00:32:53,805 --> 00:32:56,183
But under
the Indian Child Welfare Act,
735
00:32:56,183 --> 00:33:00,270
the federal law, as passed
by the United States Congress
736
00:33:00,270 --> 00:33:02,022
you also have
to take into account
737
00:33:02,022 --> 00:33:04,399
what's best for the tribe.
738
00:33:04,399 --> 00:33:08,236
The Indian culture
is faced with genocide.
739
00:33:08,236 --> 00:33:10,697
Thirty percent of our children
are taken away.
740
00:33:10,697 --> 00:33:12,824
Ninety percent of those
going to White families
741
00:33:12,824 --> 00:33:16,203
who cause these children
to abandon their heritage.
742
00:33:16,203 --> 00:33:18,455
You heard Janice Long...
743
00:33:18,455 --> 00:33:20,707
she rejects us.
744
00:33:20,707 --> 00:33:22,959
How can any child
raised under her influence
745
00:33:22,959 --> 00:33:25,879
grow to love
or even respect what we are?
746
00:33:27,464 --> 00:33:30,175
The only means
of saving our world
747
00:33:30,175 --> 00:33:31,635
is the child.
748
00:33:31,635 --> 00:33:33,678
And with every one
that slips away,
749
00:33:33,678 --> 00:33:37,599
our race is one step closer
to extinction.
750
00:33:37,599 --> 00:33:40,185
It's a desperate thing,
I suppose,
751
00:33:40,185 --> 00:33:44,272
to cling to children as
a means of propagating a race.
752
00:33:44,272 --> 00:33:47,192
But genocide
is a desperate thing.
753
00:33:49,903 --> 00:33:51,696
I understand your pain, ma'am.
754
00:33:51,696 --> 00:33:55,825
I hope that one day you will
come to understand ours.
755
00:34:04,417 --> 00:34:08,046
They call America
a melting pot.
756
00:34:08,046 --> 00:34:11,216
A place where all cultures
come together as one.
757
00:34:11,216 --> 00:34:13,134
The trouble
with the American Indian is
758
00:34:13,134 --> 00:34:17,055
we're trying to melt
the entire race.
759
00:34:19,015 --> 00:34:21,434
We took your land.
760
00:34:21,434 --> 00:34:24,145
We assimilated your people.
761
00:34:24,145 --> 00:34:25,814
As Mr. Wauneka says,
762
00:34:25,814 --> 00:34:29,693
your tribe is being eroded away
and that should stop.
763
00:34:29,693 --> 00:34:33,029
But this isn't the way.
764
00:34:33,029 --> 00:34:36,032
You cannot attempt
to serve your heritage
765
00:34:36,032 --> 00:34:39,286
at the expense
of a two-year-old boy.
766
00:34:39,286 --> 00:34:41,705
And that is what
they're asking you to do.
767
00:34:41,705 --> 00:34:44,708
He has lived
all his life with her.
768
00:34:44,708 --> 00:34:47,794
When he cries,
she's the one he runs to.
769
00:34:49,087 --> 00:34:52,132
When he's happy, she's the one
770
00:34:52,132 --> 00:34:54,301
he wants
to share his joy with.
771
00:34:54,301 --> 00:34:58,054
This woman is that boy's life.
772
00:34:58,054 --> 00:34:59,889
There is no one he trusts more
773
00:34:59,889 --> 00:35:02,017
and there is no one
he loves more.
774
00:35:04,144 --> 00:35:05,687
He lives in Los Angeles.
775
00:35:07,147 --> 00:35:09,983
Let him go home.
776
00:35:09,983 --> 00:35:13,737
Let him go home
with his mother.
777
00:35:17,532 --> 00:35:19,743
Last chance, Jonathan, you sure
you wanna go through with this?
778
00:35:19,743 --> 00:35:20,952
Guess I have no choice.
779
00:35:20,952 --> 00:35:23,246
Woman 1: Case number 9-3-5-7-1.
780
00:35:23,246 --> 00:35:25,332
People vs. Jonathan Rollins.
781
00:35:25,332 --> 00:35:28,335
Your Honor, the parties
are prepared to offer a plea.
782
00:35:28,335 --> 00:35:29,919
All assault counts dropped.
783
00:35:29,919 --> 00:35:31,379
Mr. Rollins agrees
to plead guilty
784
00:35:31,379 --> 00:35:33,423
to misdemeanor battery
on the resist.
785
00:35:33,423 --> 00:35:35,800
Joint recommendation
for 60 days probation.
786
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,552
- Defense so agrees?
- Your Honor, Zoey Clemmons,
787
00:35:37,552 --> 00:35:40,347
Assistant District Attorney.
If I may be heard.
788
00:35:40,347 --> 00:35:42,349
Approach.
789
00:35:42,349 --> 00:35:44,934
Your Honor, I have information
which calls into question
790
00:35:44,934 --> 00:35:46,728
the legality
of this prosecution.
791
00:35:46,728 --> 00:35:48,188
- What are you doing?
- Shut up, Billy.
792
00:35:48,188 --> 00:35:50,231
What's going on?
793
00:35:50,231 --> 00:35:51,650
Your Honor, several months ago
794
00:35:51,650 --> 00:35:53,693
this office prosecuted
a police officer
795
00:35:53,693 --> 00:35:55,654
by the name of Brian Chisolm,
796
00:35:55,654 --> 00:35:57,364
who was charged
with the fatal shooting
797
00:35:57,364 --> 00:35:59,240
of a Black teenager.
798
00:35:59,240 --> 00:36:01,660
Ironically,
it was Mr. Rollins himself
799
00:36:01,660 --> 00:36:02,952
who defended this officer.
800
00:36:02,952 --> 00:36:04,454
Judge 1: I remember. So what?
801
00:36:04,454 --> 00:36:06,206
Your Honor,
because of the racial tension
802
00:36:06,206 --> 00:36:08,375
surrounding this event,
Mr. Rogoff
803
00:36:08,375 --> 00:36:10,335
was faced
with a tremendous backlash
804
00:36:10,335 --> 00:36:12,253
at a time when he needed
the Black vote
805
00:36:12,253 --> 00:36:13,755
to win his re-election.
806
00:36:13,755 --> 00:36:15,548
It is widely believed
within the department
807
00:36:15,548 --> 00:36:18,468
that Mr. Rogoff prosecuted
Brian Chisolm for
808
00:36:18,468 --> 00:36:21,763
the sole purpose of appeasing
his Black constituency,
809
00:36:21,763 --> 00:36:23,973
in turn to secure
that re-election.
810
00:36:23,973 --> 00:36:27,560
- That's a bald-faced lie!
- Mr. Rogoff, be quiet.
811
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,021
Clemmons: Further,
upon information and belief,
812
00:36:30,021 --> 00:36:31,648
Police Chief Kevin Vance
813
00:36:31,648 --> 00:36:34,609
was prepared
to publicly condemn Mr. Rogoff
814
00:36:34,609 --> 00:36:37,237
for what he believed to be
the political sacrifice
815
00:36:37,237 --> 00:36:38,905
of one of his officers.
816
00:36:38,905 --> 00:36:41,741
Chief Vance and Bruce Rogoff
then struck a deal,
817
00:36:41,741 --> 00:36:43,827
whereby the chief agreed
to stay silent
818
00:36:43,827 --> 00:36:46,621
on the Chisolm issue,
Bruce Rogoff, in exchange,
819
00:36:46,621 --> 00:36:48,248
agreed to back
the police department
820
00:36:48,248 --> 00:36:51,126
at every turn
after he was re-elected.
821
00:36:51,126 --> 00:36:54,212
Vance is sticking Rogoff
for the payback in this case.
822
00:36:54,212 --> 00:36:56,089
Your Honor,
this isn't about politics.
823
00:36:56,089 --> 00:36:58,258
The fact is Mr. Rollins
committed a crime.
824
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:00,385
Nobody believes
that Mr. Rollins is a criminal.
825
00:37:00,385 --> 00:37:02,470
This is about ass-covering.
826
00:37:02,470 --> 00:37:04,264
Your Honor,
it is also widely believed
827
00:37:04,264 --> 00:37:06,474
within the department
that Mr. Rollins
828
00:37:06,474 --> 00:37:09,811
is being blackmailed
into accepting today's plea.
829
00:37:09,811 --> 00:37:11,312
If he does not capitulate,
830
00:37:11,312 --> 00:37:13,106
the department is prepared
to cite him
831
00:37:13,106 --> 00:37:15,066
as a possible rape suspect,
832
00:37:15,066 --> 00:37:17,777
despite a total absence
of good faith belief
833
00:37:17,777 --> 00:37:19,654
that he committed
any such crime.
834
00:37:19,654 --> 00:37:22,282
Did they hang rape
over your guy?
835
00:37:22,282 --> 00:37:24,325
- Yes, Your Honor, they did.
- You can't prove any of this.
836
00:37:24,325 --> 00:37:26,077
Clemmons: I am in that office,
Billy.
837
00:37:26,077 --> 00:37:29,414
I know what's going on.
Everybody knows what's going on.
838
00:37:30,874 --> 00:37:32,667
This is one of our
top ADAs, Judge.
839
00:37:32,667 --> 00:37:34,919
Why would he be assigned
a simple felony?
840
00:37:34,919 --> 00:37:37,130
Why is Bruce Rogoff
monitoring this case?
841
00:37:37,130 --> 00:37:39,716
Why is he in this room
for a plea bargain?
842
00:37:39,716 --> 00:37:43,970
I guess I should ask...
why are you here?
843
00:37:43,970 --> 00:37:46,556
I am coming forward
as an officer of the court
844
00:37:46,556 --> 00:37:48,683
to prevent what I believe
to be a gross violation
845
00:37:48,683 --> 00:37:50,518
of the judicial process.
846
00:37:50,518 --> 00:37:52,437
Bruce Rogoff abused his power.
847
00:37:52,437 --> 00:37:54,731
Jonathan Rollins
is an innocent man.
848
00:37:54,731 --> 00:38:01,112
I am here in what could be
my last act as an ADA...
849
00:38:01,112 --> 00:38:05,450
asking the court to remedy
an extremely unjust situation.
850
00:38:05,450 --> 00:38:06,910
Thank you.
851
00:38:06,910 --> 00:38:09,662
[murmuring]
852
00:38:09,662 --> 00:38:10,955
Well, I don't know
where that came from--
853
00:38:10,955 --> 00:38:12,832
Shut up.
854
00:38:12,832 --> 00:38:16,294
Don't worry, Mr. Rogoff,
I only believe every word.
855
00:38:16,294 --> 00:38:18,713
A warrant is hereby issued
for your arrest
856
00:38:18,713 --> 00:38:20,381
for obstruction of justice.
857
00:38:20,381 --> 00:38:22,091
You don't have
the authority to do that!
858
00:38:22,091 --> 00:38:24,135
Watch me, a court officer
will place
859
00:38:24,135 --> 00:38:26,137
Mr. Rogoff into custody.
860
00:38:26,137 --> 00:38:29,557
And be thankful, Mr. Graphite,
I don't lock you up as well.
861
00:38:29,557 --> 00:38:31,476
The complaint
against Jonathan Rollins
862
00:38:31,476 --> 00:38:33,019
is hereby dismissed
on all counts.
863
00:38:33,019 --> 00:38:34,354
This is a complete farce.
864
00:38:34,354 --> 00:38:36,523
Judge 1: Put that man
in lock up now.
865
00:38:36,523 --> 00:38:39,651
And don't forget to read him
his rights.
866
00:38:39,651 --> 00:38:40,902
Shut up.
867
00:38:50,328 --> 00:38:53,456
- What?
- Listen, uh, Rox, I, uh...
868
00:38:56,292 --> 00:38:58,169
[sighs]
869
00:38:58,169 --> 00:39:01,256
I'm kind of messed up.
I, uh...
870
00:39:01,256 --> 00:39:03,299
I acted out all my hostilities
the other day
871
00:39:03,299 --> 00:39:06,386
over this Corrinne thing
and I nearly lost a client.
872
00:39:06,386 --> 00:39:08,763
And I've been
dumping secretaries.
873
00:39:08,763 --> 00:39:10,098
I fired you.
874
00:39:12,976 --> 00:39:15,186
[sighs]
875
00:39:15,186 --> 00:39:18,273
I want you to come back, Rox.
876
00:39:18,273 --> 00:39:19,983
I'm working for Douglas now.
877
00:39:19,983 --> 00:39:21,985
Arnie: I know, and I hear
you're doing great.
878
00:39:21,985 --> 00:39:25,321
I-- I'll-- I'll match
whatever he's paying.
879
00:39:27,073 --> 00:39:29,909
I think I'll just stick
where I am for a while.
880
00:39:29,909 --> 00:39:32,620
I can't take, Gwen. I can't.
881
00:39:32,620 --> 00:39:34,372
Well, according to John Barkley,
882
00:39:34,372 --> 00:39:36,416
Gwen's the reason
he stayed with this firm.
883
00:39:36,416 --> 00:39:38,251
Arnie: I don't care. Do you know
what she's been saying?
884
00:39:38,251 --> 00:39:41,254
She-- she says that I have
no concept of fidelity,
885
00:39:41,254 --> 00:39:43,172
that-- that
I'm not to be trusted.
886
00:39:43,172 --> 00:39:46,551
An... I-- I'm not even capable
of having a relationship.
887
00:39:46,551 --> 00:39:47,594
You should hear
some of the stuff
888
00:39:47,594 --> 00:39:49,137
that's coming out of her mouth.
889
00:39:50,763 --> 00:39:52,307
I need you, Rox.
890
00:39:54,601 --> 00:39:57,770
No. For 12 years
I've done nothing
891
00:39:57,770 --> 00:40:01,274
but nurture your esteem, Arnie.
892
00:40:01,274 --> 00:40:04,527
I loved you.
I-- I was in love with you.
893
00:40:04,527 --> 00:40:06,988
Admired you.
894
00:40:06,988 --> 00:40:08,323
It must have been so great
895
00:40:08,323 --> 00:40:10,825
for you to come
into work every day
896
00:40:10,825 --> 00:40:13,953
and, and look at yourself
through my eyes.
897
00:40:15,455 --> 00:40:18,333
I'm sure Corrinne gave you
the same thing.
898
00:40:18,333 --> 00:40:20,918
What you need,
Arnie, is to see yourself
899
00:40:20,918 --> 00:40:24,422
for who and what you really are.
900
00:40:24,422 --> 00:40:27,842
Gwen may be the best thing
that can happen to you.
901
00:40:29,594 --> 00:40:33,306
I'll just fire her.
You can't stop me.
902
00:40:33,306 --> 00:40:36,059
You're right. I can't.
903
00:40:39,687 --> 00:40:42,273
Hi, I brought you some coffee.
904
00:40:44,150 --> 00:40:46,277
As a function of courtesy.
905
00:40:50,073 --> 00:40:52,825
Parties approach.
Lawyers too, please.
906
00:41:02,418 --> 00:41:06,839
As a Navajo, I bring to
the bench my subjective belief
907
00:41:06,839 --> 00:41:09,926
that the White man is a nemesis
who destroys the land
908
00:41:09,926 --> 00:41:13,221
and he will eventually bring
ruin to himself.
909
00:41:13,221 --> 00:41:15,431
I also believe
that since Congress
910
00:41:15,431 --> 00:41:18,768
has trusted me
to protect the tribe...
911
00:41:18,768 --> 00:41:22,063
I'm authorized to fight
the White man's dominance.
912
00:41:22,063 --> 00:41:24,732
The genocide
that Mr. Wauneka speaks of,
913
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:26,317
we've all seen it happen,
914
00:41:26,317 --> 00:41:29,070
and we all desperately
want to stop it.
915
00:41:30,697 --> 00:41:33,700
But steeped even more
in our traditions
916
00:41:33,700 --> 00:41:36,119
is the protection
of the child's relationship
917
00:41:36,119 --> 00:41:37,495
to his mother.
918
00:41:37,495 --> 00:41:39,914
And without any evidence
919
00:41:39,914 --> 00:41:43,167
that this mother is unfit
to raise her son,
920
00:41:43,167 --> 00:41:45,878
I am not going to strip her
of the custody.
921
00:41:45,878 --> 00:41:47,714
Your Honor, please.
922
00:41:47,714 --> 00:41:49,257
Judge 2: Bring in the boy, please.
923
00:41:50,758 --> 00:41:53,094
Mrs. Long, just as you prayed
924
00:41:53,094 --> 00:41:55,012
that I would not
overlook the truth
925
00:41:55,012 --> 00:41:57,306
that this child is your son,
926
00:41:57,306 --> 00:42:00,601
I pray that you will not
overlook the other truth...
927
00:42:00,601 --> 00:42:02,311
that he is a Navajo.
928
00:42:02,311 --> 00:42:05,606
The order of the California
Superior Court is upheld.
929
00:42:05,606 --> 00:42:07,358
Give the boy to Mrs. Long.
930
00:42:07,358 --> 00:42:09,277
Please. Let me hold him first.
931
00:42:11,904 --> 00:42:14,741
[baby cries]
932
00:42:14,741 --> 00:42:17,744
[speaks Navajo]
933
00:42:17,744 --> 00:42:20,663
[instrumental music]
934
00:42:42,143 --> 00:42:44,228
District Attorney Bruce Rogoff,
meanwhile,
935
00:42:44,228 --> 00:42:47,398
is steadfastly
denying all allegations.
936
00:42:47,398 --> 00:42:49,484
Assistant District Attorney
Mark Sheer
937
00:42:49,484 --> 00:42:51,444
will become acting DA
for the duration
938
00:42:51,444 --> 00:42:53,196
of the investigation.
939
00:42:53,196 --> 00:42:54,530
[knock on door]
940
00:42:56,199 --> 00:42:58,451
- Hi.
- Hi. [sighs]
941
00:42:58,451 --> 00:43:00,578
I got somebody here
who wants to meet you.
942
00:43:02,580 --> 00:43:03,915
[sighs]
943
00:43:06,375 --> 00:43:10,963
I'm sorry that you had
to go through such an ordeal.
944
00:43:10,963 --> 00:43:14,509
I don't know how I can
ever repay you, Ms. Clemmons.
945
00:43:14,509 --> 00:43:16,511
Zoey. [laughs]
946
00:43:16,511 --> 00:43:17,678
Zoey.
947
00:43:19,555 --> 00:43:21,390
Nobody's ever went out
on the limb for me
948
00:43:21,390 --> 00:43:23,434
as much as you did today.
949
00:43:23,434 --> 00:43:26,604
Ever. And you
don't even know me.
950
00:43:26,604 --> 00:43:28,481
It's him. [chuckles]
951
00:43:28,481 --> 00:43:30,108
He makes me do crazy things.
952
00:43:30,108 --> 00:43:32,610
That's why I had to leave him.
[laughs]
953
00:43:32,610 --> 00:43:34,362
Yeah, well, I owe him too.
954
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:37,365
Thank you.
955
00:43:43,871 --> 00:43:44,997
Thank you.
956
00:43:47,250 --> 00:43:48,918
Give me a minute,
would you, Jonathan?
957
00:43:48,918 --> 00:43:50,920
- We'll be right out.
- Yeah, sure.
958
00:43:58,010 --> 00:44:00,847
Are you going
to be okay here?
959
00:44:00,847 --> 00:44:03,432
It's a little scary.
960
00:44:03,432 --> 00:44:06,185
If Rogoff's out, I'm okay.
961
00:44:06,185 --> 00:44:10,314
If he comes back into power,
I go into private practice.
962
00:44:10,314 --> 00:44:12,859
It's about 50-50 right now.
963
00:44:21,242 --> 00:44:24,620
You know,
sometimes it's hard to believe
964
00:44:24,620 --> 00:44:27,456
that you were
such a God-awful wife.
965
00:44:29,292 --> 00:44:31,669
'Cause you are still
the greatest person
966
00:44:31,669 --> 00:44:32,879
that I ever met.
967
00:44:32,879 --> 00:44:35,131
[sighs]
968
00:44:35,131 --> 00:44:37,466
Can I quote you on my resume?
969
00:44:37,466 --> 00:44:39,176
Absolutely.
970
00:44:44,223 --> 00:44:46,976
- You are such a bad influence.
- Oh.
971
00:44:48,853 --> 00:44:49,979
I know.
972
00:44:51,606 --> 00:44:52,940
I know. [chuckles]
973
00:45:05,328 --> 00:45:08,247
[theme music]
