1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:04,059
Previously on L .A. Law. So you like
this couch, right?

2
00:00:04,700 --> 00:00:06,620
It's a caboutier, what's not to like?

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:08,170
Right.

4
00:00:08,380 --> 00:00:10,610
It's a lot more money than I was told to
spend.

5
00:00:10,611 --> 00:00:14,199
You shouldn't be dictated to by the
timid. You were hired to design a new

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,119
office, you should design a new office.
And I don't have to get approval from

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,639
anyone else. They turned this over to
me, and I want offices that have a

8
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,120
sophistication, a little refinement, you
know.

9
00:00:23,121 --> 00:00:27,639
From my experience, attorneys are not
usually inclined to spend money for

10
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:28,409
like that.

11
00:00:28,410 --> 00:00:31,840
You've obviously been dealing with a
more vulgar class of attorney.

12
00:00:31,841 --> 00:00:36,189
This is my cousin, Eli Levinson. How do
you do? There's a vacant office you can

13
00:00:36,190 --> 00:00:39,049
use, but we're a little short -handed in
the secretarial department.

14
00:00:39,050 --> 00:00:40,569
You're being extremely gracious.

15
00:00:40,570 --> 00:00:43,209
I'll make my own arrangements as
concerns a secretary.

16
00:00:43,210 --> 00:00:46,130
Eli! Hi, Denise. I can't believe it's
you. Get in.

17
00:00:46,131 --> 00:00:47,809
I can't believe what you're driving.

18
00:00:47,810 --> 00:00:50,040
Hey, if you're going to have a car, have
a car.

19
00:00:50,350 --> 00:00:54,749
Whether you're here for a week or a
month or whatever, Ann and I are your

20
00:00:54,750 --> 00:00:56,710
family, and happily so.

21
00:00:57,420 --> 00:00:59,650
I just want you to think of us that way,
okay?

22
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,200
You were the travel agent who booked Mr.

23
00:01:06,201 --> 00:01:08,419
and Mrs. Moffat on their trip. Is that
right?

24
00:01:08,420 --> 00:01:09,470
Right.

25
00:01:09,580 --> 00:01:12,480
Were you involved in the planning of the
trip?

26
00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:17,339
I was there to assist the folks. I was
not, per se, planning the trip. You did

27
00:01:17,340 --> 00:01:19,780
not plan the trip? I did not.

28
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,840
Sure, it was my idea to go to Sarajevo.
Excuse me.

29
00:01:22,841 --> 00:01:26,569
Who responded enthusiastically when we
talked about seeing former sites of the

30
00:01:26,570 --> 00:01:29,750
Olympics? Did you advise them as to the
political climate?

31
00:01:29,751 --> 00:01:30,769
Not a word.

32
00:01:30,770 --> 00:01:34,690
This is something I need to tell you?
The terror problems over there?

33
00:01:34,890 --> 00:01:38,949
Besides which, you weren't staying in
Sarajevo. You were staying in Split. I

34
00:01:38,950 --> 00:01:43,309
them a villa on the Adriatic for the
price of a Motel 6, and they sued me.

35
00:01:43,310 --> 00:01:44,649
we continue with the deposition?

36
00:01:44,650 --> 00:01:45,790
What was the thinking?

37
00:01:46,850 --> 00:01:47,900
Behind Azerbaijan.

38
00:01:48,070 --> 00:01:52,069
Well, they wanted to go to Astrakhan for
the carpets, and then they wanted to

39
00:01:52,070 --> 00:01:53,530
come down the Caspian coast.

40
00:01:53,531 --> 00:01:57,369
Well, that takes you through Azerbaijan.
There is no way to avoid it. Did you

41
00:01:57,370 --> 00:02:01,389
advise these people as to the incidence
of tropical diseases in the regions they

42
00:02:01,390 --> 00:02:05,269
were traveling to? You know, what is
indisputable in all this is that you

43
00:02:05,270 --> 00:02:08,280
seen places that very few people in the
world ever get to see.

44
00:02:08,509 --> 00:02:12,729
Whether it's East Timor or the Orinoco
Basin, you came to me looking for

45
00:02:12,730 --> 00:02:14,230
something out of the ordinary.

46
00:02:14,231 --> 00:02:16,589
Well, I gave you something out of the
ordinary.

47
00:02:16,590 --> 00:02:18,820
You know what? I don't care how long it
takes.

48
00:02:18,970 --> 00:02:22,190
I don't care if I have to go to trial,
if I have to pay for appeals.

49
00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:26,149
Whatever I got to do, I'm going to do.
Because in addition to the fact that

50
00:02:26,150 --> 00:02:29,509
you're a despicable human being, you're
the worst travel agent on the face of

51
00:02:29,510 --> 00:02:33,390
the earth. A year from now, you'll only
remember the good things.

52
00:05:00,650 --> 00:05:02,550
Moffat versus Schiff is mine.

53
00:05:03,030 --> 00:05:06,130
Mr. and Mrs. Moffat went on a world tour
booked by Mr. Schiff.

54
00:05:06,131 --> 00:05:09,169
It turned out to be a nightmare. They're
suing for damages. We're in

55
00:05:09,170 --> 00:05:11,410
depositions. Settlement appears
unlikely.

56
00:05:11,411 --> 00:05:13,329
What happens if it goes to trial?

57
00:05:13,330 --> 00:05:16,949
If it goes to trial, I'll engage one of
our crack litigators to try it. I've got

58
00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:19,849
back -to -back trials through the end of
the month. I am booked for at least

59
00:05:19,850 --> 00:05:20,549
that long.

60
00:05:20,550 --> 00:05:21,600
Same here.

61
00:05:21,610 --> 00:05:23,110
I'll handle it if you want me to.

62
00:05:23,111 --> 00:05:25,529
Don't forget that you're going to be
somewhat tied up by me.

63
00:05:25,530 --> 00:05:26,379
How so?

64
00:05:26,380 --> 00:05:28,499
I've got her working on the Irizarry
divorce.

65
00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:30,739
Should the need arise, I can make myself
available.

66
00:05:30,740 --> 00:05:32,199
Thank you, Jane. I appreciate that.

67
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,380
I would like to turn our attention to
the issue of Eli Levinson.

68
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:40,099
Am I an issue? You are, now that your
trial is over. I told Leland you might

69
00:05:40,100 --> 00:05:42,510
open to the possibility of extending
your stay.

70
00:05:42,511 --> 00:05:46,039
I love it out here. I just don't know
how realistic it is for me to think

71
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,270
staying. Well, let me speak to that
question.

72
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,439
After a very brief deliberation, the
partners here would like to express

73
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,959
unanimously their feeling that you would
represent a significant asset to this

74
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,500
firm. We would like to extend to you an
invitation to join our firm.

75
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,559
My God, I don't know what to say. Don't
say anything. Nobody expects you to

76
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:06,439
answer in the spot.

77
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:07,580
Think about it, though.

78
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,960
I will think about it. It's a good life.

79
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,899
It appears that it is. Should there be
any doubt, the offer is an offer of

80
00:06:13,900 --> 00:06:14,950
partnership.

81
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,060
And with that, we're adjourned.

82
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:28,040
Have lunch with me today at my club.

83
00:06:28,420 --> 00:06:30,890
Are you going to use the occasion to
twist my arm?

84
00:06:31,180 --> 00:06:33,160
Absolutely. Good. We're on.

85
00:06:33,161 --> 00:06:37,699
Well, this is going to slow things up.
Well, the paint specs have been in the

86
00:06:37,700 --> 00:06:40,979
drawing since day one. If correcting the
finish is going to slow us up, that's

87
00:06:40,980 --> 00:06:42,030
unfortunate.

88
00:06:42,031 --> 00:06:45,839
However, given that you lose money for
every day you're over schedule, I think

89
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:48,310
you'll find a way to do it right and to
do it on time.

90
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,370
Okay.

91
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,370
Hi. Hi.

92
00:06:51,371 --> 00:06:54,939
I finally figured out a way to do the
threshold detail that will work with the

93
00:06:54,940 --> 00:06:58,939
slate. Great. Yeah, I was up all night
working at it. I couldn't get it. I

94
00:06:58,940 --> 00:06:59,899
couldn't get it.

95
00:06:59,900 --> 00:07:01,000
I finally fall asleep.

96
00:07:01,220 --> 00:07:03,820
I open my eyes at 5 .30 this morning,
and I've got it.

97
00:07:03,821 --> 00:07:06,819
Now I need for you to see a rug. You
found one you like?

98
00:07:06,820 --> 00:07:07,870
I found one I love.

99
00:07:07,980 --> 00:07:09,620
Great. When are you free?

100
00:07:09,860 --> 00:07:10,940
Wednesday afternoon.

101
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,110
Fine. I really love what you're doing
here.

102
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,280
Thanks. I'm pretty pleased myself.

103
00:07:15,281 --> 00:07:19,119
Before we go see the rug on Wednesday,
could we have lunch together?

104
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,170
Sure.

105
00:07:20,171 --> 00:07:24,699
Good. Well, thanks to your obsession
with detail, it appears as though I

106
00:07:24,700 --> 00:07:26,140
be going skiing this weekend.

107
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,039
See, many of the new associates coming
in have no sense of what it means to be

108
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,500
lawyer, beyond scrambling up some
imaginary career ladder.

109
00:07:38,501 --> 00:07:41,159
I guess it's tough sometimes not to
think about that.

110
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,319
Well, I don't believe that you think
about it.

111
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,199
The way you handled the Morrison case
showed me that you think about your

112
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,210
client. I was very impressed with your
commitment. Thank you.

113
00:07:49,849 --> 00:07:54,669
I don't want to pressure you, Eli, but
if it's at all conceivable that you're

114
00:07:54,670 --> 00:07:58,280
ready for a change, I hope you'll give
our offer serious consideration.

115
00:07:59,510 --> 00:08:00,770
Thank you. You're welcome.

116
00:08:01,970 --> 00:08:03,020
This is some place.

117
00:08:03,021 --> 00:08:05,709
Oh, this is the oldest men's club in Los
Angeles.

118
00:08:05,710 --> 00:08:08,470
Really? I've never been inside a men's
club before.

119
00:08:09,630 --> 00:08:11,370
Maybe you'd like to become a member.

120
00:08:11,371 --> 00:08:15,769
I hate to tell you this, Nealon, but I
don't think they'd be all that welcoming

121
00:08:15,770 --> 00:08:16,820
to someone such as me.

122
00:08:16,910 --> 00:08:17,990
Why wouldn't they be?

123
00:08:18,860 --> 00:08:19,910
I'm Jewish.

124
00:08:19,911 --> 00:08:21,219
So what?

125
00:08:21,220 --> 00:08:25,160
I don't see too many Jewish faces here.
I'm sure we have members who are Jewish,

126
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:30,460
Eli. Why, there's Martin Weiss. Weiss
isn't necessarily a Jewish name.

127
00:08:30,700 --> 00:08:35,200
Oh, well, Henry Schiller, Tom
Morgenthau. Those may not be Jewish

128
00:08:35,900 --> 00:08:40,759
Well, I'd like to nominate you for
membership, unless you have some

129
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:41,810
that.

130
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,110
I guess I don't have any objection to
it.

131
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,940
Good. I'll speak to the board, set up an
interview.

132
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:02,020
Can you tell us the events that took
place on October 7th, 1992?

133
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,379
The Coast Guard was notified by INS
officials that a freighter carrying

134
00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:09,850
Chinese immigrants was on its way to Los
Angeles.

135
00:09:09,860 --> 00:09:13,470
We intercepted the vessel about three
miles off the coast of Long Beach.

136
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,900
What did you find when you boarded the
ship?

137
00:09:17,220 --> 00:09:19,620
265 immigrants crammed into the cargo
hold.

138
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,520
Dr. Coburn, can you describe for the
court the conditions in that cargo hold?

139
00:09:24,890 --> 00:09:28,829
There was one makeshift toilet
overflowing with human waste. The floors

140
00:09:28,830 --> 00:09:31,600
walls were damp. They reeked of
perspiration and urine.

141
00:09:31,650 --> 00:09:36,289
Can you describe the medical condition
of the passenger by the name of Lin Chin

142
00:09:36,290 --> 00:09:41,210
Tso? Lin Chin Tso exhibited symptoms of
an advanced progression of hepatitis B.

143
00:09:41,211 --> 00:09:45,449
We transported him immediately to San
Pedro Hospital, but he went into renal

144
00:09:45,450 --> 00:09:47,270
failure. He died 48 hours later.

145
00:09:47,610 --> 00:09:51,950
What, in your opinion, led to the death
of Lin Chin -so? The lack of nutrition,

146
00:09:52,130 --> 00:09:55,529
ventilation, and sleep had so
compromised his immune system, he

147
00:09:55,530 --> 00:09:56,729
off the hepatic infection.

148
00:09:56,730 --> 00:10:01,249
In my opinion, the hepatitis itself, in
all likelihood, was caused by the

149
00:10:01,250 --> 00:10:02,450
conditions on that ship.

150
00:10:03,470 --> 00:10:06,630
What if any documents were found on the
boat, Doctor?

151
00:10:06,910 --> 00:10:09,500
We seized receipts for fuel, insurance
documents.

152
00:10:09,501 --> 00:10:13,269
and the title of the ship. Who was
listed as the title holder? Objection,

153
00:10:13,270 --> 00:10:16,809
hearsay. They've authenticated business
records, Your Honor. They established

154
00:10:16,810 --> 00:10:20,909
knowledge on the defendant's part of
conditions on the boat. Said knowledge

155
00:10:20,910 --> 00:10:23,229
critical element of prosecuting him for
murder.

156
00:10:23,230 --> 00:10:24,630
The objection is overruled.

157
00:10:24,830 --> 00:10:30,350
Proceed. Once again, Doctor, who was
listed as the owner of the vessel?

158
00:10:31,450 --> 00:10:34,290
Ronald Chow. Did you find any other
documents?

159
00:10:34,630 --> 00:10:38,169
There was a log of high -seas phone
calls indicating Ronald Chow had

160
00:10:38,170 --> 00:10:41,050
the vessel 27 times during the course of
the voyage.

161
00:10:41,290 --> 00:10:42,430
I have nothing further.

162
00:10:43,970 --> 00:10:48,349
Do you have any evidence that Ronald
Chow knew about the conditions in the

163
00:10:48,350 --> 00:10:50,750
hold? He owned the ship. He financed the
voyage.

164
00:10:51,090 --> 00:10:55,329
He was in telephonic communication with
the captain. Do you have any evidence

165
00:10:55,330 --> 00:10:58,160
that Ronald Chow knew about the
conditions in the hold?

166
00:10:59,230 --> 00:11:00,280
No, I do not.

167
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:01,980
I have no further questions.

168
00:11:03,380 --> 00:11:05,980
The people call Liu Yushen to the stand.

169
00:11:07,460 --> 00:11:10,350
Until the time of your arrest, what was
your occupation?

170
00:11:13,380 --> 00:11:19,559
I was captain of the Jade Moon. And
during the course of your last voyage,

171
00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:22,390
you in communication with the defendant
by telephone?

172
00:11:27,660 --> 00:11:28,710
No.

173
00:11:33,619 --> 00:11:37,980
Mr. Liu, are you telling us you had no
contact with Mr.

174
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:39,250
Chao?

175
00:11:41,251 --> 00:11:42,739
After

176
00:11:42,740 --> 00:11:49,919
we

177
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:54,139
left the dock, I had no contact with
him. Ronald Chao knew nothing about the

178
00:11:54,140 --> 00:11:55,220
condition of the boat.

179
00:11:55,500 --> 00:11:58,960
Has Ronald Chao pressured you to change
your testimony, Mr. Lu?

180
00:12:03,660 --> 00:12:04,710
No.

181
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:11,140
Is the witness aware that lying under
oath constitutes a serious crime?

182
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:16,370
Yes.

183
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,460
I have nothing further for this witness.

184
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,180
No questions, Your Honor.

185
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,020
The witness is dismissed.

186
00:12:27,420 --> 00:12:34,339
Would you tell us

187
00:12:34,340 --> 00:12:37,879
what was said on the occasion when you
and your wife first engaged Mr. Schiff's

188
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,839
services? We told them we were
interested in going around the world.

189
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,499
Who decided what route you would take,
Mr. Moffat? Let me put it this way. He

190
00:12:44,500 --> 00:12:45,550
led, we followed.

191
00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:49,399
Isn't it the case, sir, that your wife
indicated a desire to see places that

192
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,350
were, and I believe I'm quoting now, off
the beaten track?

193
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,119
Assume that she did. We were depending
on him to guide us. Well, if you had

194
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,540
you wanted Orlando, Florida, do you
think I would have sent you to

195
00:12:59,541 --> 00:13:03,579
Prior to this trip, Mr. Moffat, when was
the last vacation you had taken? What's

196
00:13:03,580 --> 00:13:07,239
the relevance of that? The relevance is
that Herb here hadn't taken a vacation

197
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,290
in 15 years.

198
00:13:08,420 --> 00:13:09,620
He hated vacations.

199
00:13:09,621 --> 00:13:12,769
And he made up his mind before he ever
left that he wasn't going to have a good

200
00:13:12,770 --> 00:13:16,189
time. And amazingly enough, getting
kidnapped by Armenian separatists did

201
00:13:16,190 --> 00:13:17,649
nothing to improve my disposition.

202
00:13:17,650 --> 00:13:21,029
Let's talk about that for a minute. Why
don't you describe the events that took

203
00:13:21,030 --> 00:13:24,100
place in Baku, for which you now hold
Mr. Schiff responsible?

204
00:13:24,130 --> 00:13:28,109
I had gone to a drugstore looking for
something to relieve my by now constant

205
00:13:28,110 --> 00:13:29,550
gastrointestinal distress.

206
00:13:29,551 --> 00:13:33,529
While on the street, I was forced into a
car at gunpoint. They said I was an

207
00:13:33,530 --> 00:13:35,210
agent for the Azerbaijanis.

208
00:13:35,610 --> 00:13:37,720
I told them I had a store in Woodland
Hills.

209
00:13:37,730 --> 00:13:39,350
They asked me what my mission was.

210
00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:43,179
I told them it was to purchase kale
pectate. Is it possible that you were

211
00:13:43,180 --> 00:13:46,879
kidnapped because you were seen
videotaping a political demonstration?

212
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,460
We didn't know it was a political
demonstration. We thought it was a

213
00:13:50,461 --> 00:13:53,799
Didn't the tanks on the sidewalk
indicate to you that it might have been

214
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,859
something other than a purely festive
event?

215
00:13:55,860 --> 00:13:58,959
Excuse us. We were looking to bring back
something other than shrapnel wounds.

216
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,020
You know, your wife has a spirit of
adventure that you are sorely lacking.

217
00:14:03,420 --> 00:14:06,060
I don't pretend to be Vasca de Gama, my
friend.

218
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,259
And as far as I'm concerned, if I'm
going to go someplace, at least let it

219
00:14:10,260 --> 00:14:11,319
a little entertainment.

220
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,000
Herb, let's not start talking about Las
Vegas.

221
00:14:14,001 --> 00:14:15,799
What's wrong with Las Vegas?

222
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,779
You've seen everything there is to see
there?

223
00:14:17,780 --> 00:14:21,640
Herb, there's a whole big, beautiful
world out there.

224
00:14:21,860 --> 00:14:26,279
Yeah? Well, let me tell you something.
That whole big, beautiful world is about

225
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,159
to find out just what kind of operation
you run. I think this is a human

226
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,039
interest story.

227
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,689
What do you know about that? I think
when the newspapers picked this up...

228
00:14:34,690 --> 00:14:36,490
business is going to drop like a rock.

229
00:14:38,230 --> 00:14:39,910
Go ahead, ask me another question.

230
00:14:40,690 --> 00:14:43,489
So copies of these and...

231
00:14:43,490 --> 00:14:47,830
Ed?

232
00:14:48,970 --> 00:14:50,020
Ed?

233
00:14:50,021 --> 00:14:51,109
Hi, Eli.

234
00:14:51,110 --> 00:14:52,250
Hi. Do you have a minute?

235
00:14:52,410 --> 00:14:53,460
Yeah, sure.

236
00:14:55,190 --> 00:14:57,420
I've got a little bit of a dilemma in my
hands.

237
00:14:57,430 --> 00:14:58,480
What is it?

238
00:14:58,481 --> 00:15:01,289
Leland's put me up for membership in his
club.

239
00:15:01,290 --> 00:15:02,289
His men's club?

240
00:15:02,290 --> 00:15:05,819
Yeah. He says that whether I decide to
join the firm or not, he'd like me to be

241
00:15:05,820 --> 00:15:07,140
able to use the facilities.

242
00:15:07,540 --> 00:15:11,030
They've also got a reciprocal
arrangement with some club in New York.

243
00:15:11,031 --> 00:15:13,739
There's an interview with two of the
directors tomorrow.

244
00:15:13,740 --> 00:15:14,880
So what's the dilemma?

245
00:15:14,881 --> 00:15:17,259
I don't know that they let Jews into
this club.

246
00:15:17,260 --> 00:15:20,330
By the look of it, I'd say it was all
wasp. What does Leland say?

247
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,680
He says it won't be a problem.

248
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,490
Do you actually want to be a member of
this club?

249
00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:27,550
Not particularly.

250
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,370
I knew he wanted me to be impressed by
it, so I behaved as though I was.

251
00:15:31,900 --> 00:15:33,120
It is a pretty nice place.

252
00:15:33,121 --> 00:15:36,859
The problem is, if they reject me,
Leland's going to feel compelled to make

253
00:15:36,860 --> 00:15:40,139
big stink about it. What's wrong with
that? If they have a restrictive policy,

254
00:15:40,140 --> 00:15:43,099
maybe he should make a big stink about
it. I'd rather that didn't happen.

255
00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:46,410
He obviously enjoys belonging there. I
don't want to disrupt that.

256
00:15:46,411 --> 00:15:48,239
Just tell him you're not interested.

257
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,879
I just get the feeling that he doesn't
have a lot of friends.

258
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,020
He knows a lot of people.

259
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,260
I'm not sure how many qualify as
friends.

260
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,670
I think he'd like it if I joined his
club.

261
00:15:56,671 --> 00:15:58,899
So what are you going to do, try to
pass?

262
00:15:58,900 --> 00:16:01,959
No, I'm just going to go in there and
meet with them, and whatever happens,

263
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,800
happens. Good luck, I guess.

264
00:16:07,820 --> 00:16:09,140
You think I couldn't pass?

265
00:16:09,300 --> 00:16:11,100
As a white Anglo -Saxon Protestant?

266
00:16:11,220 --> 00:16:14,980
Eli's not necessarily a Jewish name.
Look at Eli Whitney, Eli Yale.

267
00:16:15,460 --> 00:16:19,010
Levinson. It could be German. I don't
think you're going to fool him, Eli.

268
00:16:20,191 --> 00:16:26,669
We're hemorrhaging, Daniel. What do you
mean we're hemorrhaging?

269
00:16:26,670 --> 00:16:30,040
It means the cost of this renovation is
getting a little out of hand.

270
00:16:30,041 --> 00:16:33,969
I mean that we're hemorrhaging, and that
means that the tourniquet is going on.

271
00:16:33,970 --> 00:16:37,209
At certain stages of the job, it always
feels like there's a lot of money going

272
00:16:37,210 --> 00:16:39,310
out. This isn't a perceptual problem.

273
00:16:39,550 --> 00:16:43,690
It doesn't feel like there's a lot of
money going out. I'm staring at

274
00:16:43,691 --> 00:16:46,069
What in there seems like it's out of
hand?

275
00:16:46,070 --> 00:16:49,210
How about $30 ,000 for a slate floor?

276
00:16:49,211 --> 00:16:52,649
Yeah, that is a little high, Daniel.
It's for the reception area, Leland.

277
00:16:52,650 --> 00:16:55,660
the first thing people see when they
come here. For $30 ,000?

278
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:56,880
Let them see linoleum.

279
00:16:58,540 --> 00:16:59,590
What else?

280
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:04,280
$17 ,000 for a rug? That rug is an
Eileen Gray.

281
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:05,570
What's Eileen Gray?

282
00:17:05,660 --> 00:17:08,250
She was an architect and a very
important designer.

283
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,660
Really? Well, I'm not spending $17 ,000
to walk on one of her designs.

284
00:17:13,060 --> 00:17:17,358
As much as we want the offices to look
good, we do have to exercise a little

285
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,439
restraint. Believe it or not, I have
been exercising restraint.

286
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,049
Really? Well, between the Sikh
contractor and this architect, we're

287
00:17:24,050 --> 00:17:27,249
killed. Hiring this architect was about
the only right thing you guys did on

288
00:17:27,250 --> 00:17:28,129
this job.

289
00:17:28,130 --> 00:17:29,180
She's talented.

290
00:17:29,181 --> 00:17:32,889
She takes chances. She's tough. I've
seen her deal with the contractor. I've

291
00:17:32,890 --> 00:17:35,929
seen her deal with the subs. Believe me,
she's looking out for our interests.

292
00:17:35,930 --> 00:17:40,020
You should remind her that our interests
are best served by avoiding bankruptcy.

293
00:17:41,330 --> 00:17:43,070
All right, what are you telling me?

294
00:17:43,130 --> 00:17:44,180
The rug is out.

295
00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:47,809
We need to know about any other
purchases before they're made, and we

296
00:17:47,810 --> 00:17:49,130
put a cap on this thing.

297
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,390
Can you please state your name for the
record?

298
00:17:58,020 --> 00:17:59,070
Lin Mei.

299
00:17:59,700 --> 00:18:01,900
How were you related to the man who
died?

300
00:18:05,540 --> 00:18:06,800
He was my husband.

301
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:13,520
And could you tell us, please, how you
and your husband came to leave China?

302
00:18:20,620 --> 00:18:24,080
We approached a snakehead, a smuggler in
Fuzhou.

303
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:29,400
Can you describe for the court what
happened on the journey?

304
00:18:40,930 --> 00:18:45,609
We had to stay and hold during the day.
At night, only a few could sleep at a

305
00:18:45,610 --> 00:18:47,530
time. There was no room to lie down.

306
00:18:47,770 --> 00:18:49,390
Did the smugglers provide food?

307
00:18:51,750 --> 00:18:54,149
Did they

308
00:18:54,150 --> 00:19:00,390
provide water?

309
00:19:08,650 --> 00:19:13,829
If you had money, you could buy a bottle
of water. If not, you get a mouthful a

310
00:19:13,830 --> 00:19:16,960
day. Would you describe what happened to
your husband, ma 'am?

311
00:19:43,780 --> 00:19:47,480
I gave him my rice. The others gave him
their rice.

312
00:19:47,740 --> 00:19:52,260
By the end, he was too weak to hold up
his head to eat.

313
00:19:52,700 --> 00:19:58,219
Mrs. Lin, is there anyone present in
this courtroom who was also present when

314
00:19:58,220 --> 00:19:59,900
you boarded the boat in Hong Kong?

315
00:20:03,500 --> 00:20:04,550
Him.

316
00:20:10,830 --> 00:20:13,250
The man they called the big boss, he was
there.

317
00:20:13,470 --> 00:20:17,769
Let the record show the witnesses
identified the defendant, Ronald Chow. I

318
00:20:17,770 --> 00:20:18,820
nothing further.

319
00:20:20,510 --> 00:20:25,769
Mrs. Lin, had you ever seen Ronald Chow
before the day you boarded the

320
00:20:25,770 --> 00:20:26,820
freighter?

321
00:20:34,970 --> 00:20:36,020
I knew who he was.

322
00:20:36,190 --> 00:20:38,850
Everyone knew. And did you hear Mr.

323
00:20:39,090 --> 00:20:42,950
Chow give any orders pertaining to the
accommodations on the journey? No.

324
00:20:49,170 --> 00:20:51,880
And isn't it true that you have no
knowledge of what Mr.

325
00:20:52,030 --> 00:20:55,400
Chow did or did not know about the
accommodations for the journey?

326
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,780
I know he's a murderer.

327
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:10,759
I said

328
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,860
that's enough. Enough!

329
00:21:40,870 --> 00:21:42,190
Levinson, Avery Phipps.

330
00:21:42,450 --> 00:21:43,500
Langston Albright.

331
00:21:43,690 --> 00:21:44,740
How do you do?

332
00:21:45,530 --> 00:21:47,070
So, uh, Mr.

333
00:21:47,550 --> 00:21:48,600
Levinson.

334
00:21:48,890 --> 00:21:50,870
Please, uh, call me Eli.

335
00:21:50,871 --> 00:21:54,789
Actually, most people call me by my
nickname.

336
00:21:54,790 --> 00:21:55,840
And that would be?

337
00:21:56,670 --> 00:21:58,090
Topper. Topper?

338
00:21:58,810 --> 00:21:59,860
Right.

339
00:22:00,310 --> 00:22:04,510
So, Topper, uh, Leland tells us you're
from New York.

340
00:22:04,750 --> 00:22:06,490
That's where I currently live, yes.

341
00:22:06,491 --> 00:22:08,109
Is that where you're from originally?

342
00:22:08,110 --> 00:22:09,730
Actually, I'm from Connecticut.

343
00:22:09,740 --> 00:22:11,120
Whereabouts? Darien.

344
00:22:11,820 --> 00:22:13,840
Really? Great sailing there.

345
00:22:14,180 --> 00:22:18,339
Great sailing. You like to sail? Love
it. If I'm not at work or I'm not on the

346
00:22:18,340 --> 00:22:22,520
squash court, chances are I'm on the
boat. Where do you generally sail?

347
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:23,850
All over.

348
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,050
Long Island,

349
00:22:25,660 --> 00:22:27,400
Block Island, Rhode Island.

350
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:28,690
All the islands.

351
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,939
You've probably been up to Newport,
then. I make it a point to get up to

352
00:22:32,940 --> 00:22:36,939
Newport. In fact, come August, you'll
generally find me, gin and tonic and

353
00:22:36,940 --> 00:22:39,230
handshakes. Sailing around the harbor
there.

354
00:22:39,670 --> 00:22:41,050
Tell me, what do you sail?

355
00:22:41,290 --> 00:22:42,610
You mean what kind of sail?

356
00:22:43,310 --> 00:22:45,070
I mean what kind of boat.

357
00:22:46,590 --> 00:22:47,640
It's wood.

358
00:22:48,030 --> 00:22:49,950
The sail is canvas.

359
00:22:50,990 --> 00:22:52,040
White canvas.

360
00:22:53,550 --> 00:22:55,170
Triangular white canvas.

361
00:23:00,090 --> 00:23:01,140
Ready?

362
00:23:02,750 --> 00:23:06,489
Yeah. I found a color slate you're going
to love. We have to hold off on the

363
00:23:06,490 --> 00:23:07,540
slate. Why?

364
00:23:07,541 --> 00:23:10,759
The senior partners have informed me
that we can't spend that kind of money.

365
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,199
I thought you were given authority to
make those decisions.

366
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,960
I thought I was, too. I may have
overplayed my hand.

367
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:17,930
With whom?

368
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,320
With everybody, I guess.

369
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:22,690
So, no slate.

370
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:25,610
Okay.

371
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,440
What else aren't we getting?

372
00:23:28,060 --> 00:23:29,110
The rug.

373
00:23:29,111 --> 00:23:30,999
No rug?

374
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,050
No rug.

375
00:23:33,020 --> 00:23:34,620
Okay. What else?

376
00:23:34,621 --> 00:23:38,199
They put an absolute cap on the budget.
We have to go through it and figure out

377
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,340
what we can and can't do.

378
00:23:39,341 --> 00:23:43,719
Then I guess there's not much point in
us going out this afternoon and seeing

379
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,199
things. I'm answerable to people, all
right? Nobody gave me a blank check.

380
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,759
It would have been good to have known
that.

381
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,099
This can't be the first time that a
client has changed their mind about

382
00:23:51,100 --> 00:23:53,999
something. You're right. It's not the
first time. Then why are you so upset?

383
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,120
Because I got excited.

384
00:23:55,780 --> 00:23:59,270
For a few minutes there, I felt
appreciated, stimulated, supported.

385
00:23:59,790 --> 00:24:03,849
And that doesn't happen very often. It
felt great. Look. What it feels like now

386
00:24:03,850 --> 00:24:04,900
is a job.

387
00:24:05,030 --> 00:24:06,710
Can we talk about this over lunch?

388
00:24:07,390 --> 00:24:08,890
There's nothing to talk about.

389
00:24:15,550 --> 00:24:20,289
Mr. Chao, would you tell the court why
you bring Chinese immigrants into the

390
00:24:20,290 --> 00:24:21,340
United States?

391
00:24:22,210 --> 00:24:24,680
Many people in my homeland are being
persecuted.

392
00:24:25,670 --> 00:24:27,750
Pregnant women stop at checkpoints.

393
00:24:28,090 --> 00:24:30,330
and forced to have unwanted abortions.

394
00:24:30,810 --> 00:24:33,550
I know what it's like to want to escape
oppression.

395
00:24:33,970 --> 00:24:36,130
26 years ago, I fled China myself.

396
00:24:36,131 --> 00:24:39,769
Mr. Chow, how involved were you in
arranging the passage of the immigrants

397
00:24:39,770 --> 00:24:40,850
aboard the Jade Moon?

398
00:24:41,030 --> 00:24:45,030
I played the role of banker, but I
entrusted the details to the ship's

399
00:24:45,031 --> 00:24:45,889
Mr. Liu.

400
00:24:45,890 --> 00:24:48,909
And what instructions did you give Mr.
Liu regarding the passengers?

401
00:24:48,910 --> 00:24:52,340
I told him to make their journey as safe
and comfortable as possible.

402
00:24:52,810 --> 00:24:56,749
I had no idea he would betray them and
me by putting into his own pocket funds

403
00:24:56,750 --> 00:24:58,550
meant for food and medical supplies.

404
00:24:58,690 --> 00:25:02,770
Do you feel in any way responsible for
the death of Mrs. Lin's husband?

405
00:25:03,690 --> 00:25:08,449
I had no knowledge of the inhumane
conditions suffered by the passengers,

406
00:25:08,450 --> 00:25:13,209
hired the man who committed these
atrocities. I feel guilt about that, and

407
00:25:13,210 --> 00:25:16,689
tried many times to contact Mrs. Lin to
offer condolence and compensation

408
00:25:16,690 --> 00:25:18,410
without success.

409
00:25:18,970 --> 00:25:20,650
No further questions, Your Honor.

410
00:25:20,651 --> 00:25:25,969
You claim that you arranged these trips
out of compassion for your countrymen.

411
00:25:25,970 --> 00:25:26,809
Tell us.

412
00:25:26,810 --> 00:25:29,700
If that's the case, why do you charge
them $20 ,000 a head?

413
00:25:29,701 --> 00:25:31,869
This sort of operation is quite
expensive.

414
00:25:31,870 --> 00:25:36,670
20 ,000 times 265 passengers comes out
to over $5 million.

415
00:25:36,671 --> 00:25:39,709
Are you telling us you didn't make a
profit?

416
00:25:39,710 --> 00:25:42,989
Any profits are channeled right back
into the next journey. Isn't it a fact

417
00:25:42,990 --> 00:25:46,189
most of the illegals you bring over are
put to work in restaurants you own to

418
00:25:46,190 --> 00:25:47,330
pay off their passage?

419
00:25:47,331 --> 00:25:50,069
I employ many of them, yes. How much do
you pay them, Mr. Chow?

420
00:25:50,070 --> 00:25:53,249
I pay them a great deal more than they
would ever receive in China. You pay

421
00:25:53,250 --> 00:25:55,130
70 cents an hour, don't you?

422
00:25:55,370 --> 00:25:56,930
Mr. Mullaney. These are peasants.

423
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,099
Seventy cents an hour is a good wage for
them. Isn't it a fact that you don't

424
00:26:01,100 --> 00:26:05,239
care about the welfare of these people?
What you care about is money. What you

425
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,280
care about is a steady flow of cheap
labor. I care about my people. I told

426
00:26:09,420 --> 00:26:13,439
Liu to give Lin Xiaozhou fluid and food
and to have medication on board. It

427
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,850
isn't my fault that he ignored my
instructions.

428
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,280
I thought you didn't know Lin Xinzou was
sick.

429
00:26:21,070 --> 00:26:25,029
What I mean to say is at the start of
the voyage, I told the captain to

430
00:26:25,030 --> 00:26:28,789
medicine for all who became ill. Do you
have any written proof in the form of

431
00:26:28,790 --> 00:26:33,269
receipts or canceled checks to prove you
provided adequate food and medical

432
00:26:33,270 --> 00:26:35,620
supplies? All transactions were done in
cash.

433
00:26:35,810 --> 00:26:37,150
So the answer is no.

434
00:26:39,610 --> 00:26:40,660
Correct.

435
00:26:41,030 --> 00:26:42,790
I have nothing further from Mr.

436
00:26:42,990 --> 00:26:44,040
Chow.

437
00:26:51,820 --> 00:26:55,860
What exactly is the purpose of this
meeting, Mr. Schiff? Conflict

438
00:26:56,721 --> 00:26:59,039
Where's your attorney?

439
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:00,090
She's not here.

440
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,020
Why didn't you want my husband here?

441
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,400
Ah, for reasons that will become readily
apparent.

442
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:08,490
What is this?

443
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,940
Gaydar! I told you it was my dream to
come to America.

444
00:27:16,620 --> 00:27:17,670
Here I am.

445
00:27:18,140 --> 00:27:20,900
I am to be an American taxicab driver.

446
00:27:20,901 --> 00:27:22,179
Who is this?

447
00:27:22,180 --> 00:27:23,740
This is Gaydar.

448
00:27:24,060 --> 00:27:25,400
Why is he here?

449
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:30,539
He is here to supply us with some
details of your trip that were left out

450
00:27:30,540 --> 00:27:34,320
now. Oh, God. You have nothing to be
ashamed of. Nothing.

451
00:27:34,540 --> 00:27:39,679
Will someone tell me what is going on?
Well, Edie and Gaydar had something of

452
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:40,940
adventure together.

453
00:27:41,340 --> 00:27:43,700
I had never done anything like that
before.

454
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,920
Blame it on those torrid Levantine
nights, huh? There was a full moon.

455
00:27:47,921 --> 00:27:51,499
And I wanted to take a walk along the
shore of the Caspian Sea.

456
00:27:51,500 --> 00:27:55,240
Herb wouldn't go with me. All he wanted
to do was sit in the room and watch CNN.

457
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:57,860
I decided to go by myself.

458
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,460
Guidard worked at the hotel.

459
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:05,319
He offered to accompany me. It was one
of the most beautiful experiences of my

460
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:11,240
life. We went for a boat ride and had a
very brief and very passionate affair.

461
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,160
And now you're going to blackmail her.
Moi?

462
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,440
I don't know what means blackmail.

463
00:28:17,070 --> 00:28:19,290
He sent me the ticket to come, and I
came.

464
00:28:19,690 --> 00:28:23,550
Kedar, what happened between us must
never happen again.

465
00:28:24,150 --> 00:28:27,790
I love my husband, and I want to stay
married to him.

466
00:28:29,570 --> 00:28:30,620
I understand.

467
00:28:30,870 --> 00:28:32,510
Well, I know I'll never tell.

468
00:28:33,630 --> 00:28:37,690
Assuming, of course, that we're able to
reach an agreement.

469
00:28:38,130 --> 00:28:43,049
If we're unable to, I will have to
defend myself in court. I will have to

470
00:28:43,050 --> 00:28:45,460
demonstrate that there were a few bright
spots.

471
00:28:46,190 --> 00:28:49,910
On your trip around the world? You are a
despicable human being.

472
00:28:50,430 --> 00:28:51,590
Come, Gaydar.

473
00:28:51,930 --> 00:28:53,110
It's turning ugly.

474
00:28:53,750 --> 00:28:56,890
Remember, Edie, we'll always have
Azerbaijan.

475
00:29:10,010 --> 00:29:11,490
Excuse me.

476
00:29:13,130 --> 00:29:14,180
Tom,

477
00:29:14,181 --> 00:29:15,369
are you...

478
00:29:15,370 --> 00:29:17,230
You talking to yourself now? Hey, man.

479
00:29:17,231 --> 00:29:18,289
What are you doing?

480
00:29:18,290 --> 00:29:20,580
Trying to pry a continuance out of Jed
Salvin.

481
00:29:20,581 --> 00:29:23,709
I didn't mean to interrupt you. No, I
got to take off.

482
00:29:23,710 --> 00:29:25,270
I'm just practicing my closing.

483
00:29:25,850 --> 00:29:28,870
This is the Ronald Chow case, huh? Yep.
How's that going?

484
00:29:28,871 --> 00:29:32,269
Chow scared off my key witness. It's not
going through good.

485
00:29:32,270 --> 00:29:34,589
From what I read in the papers, he's a
slippery guy.

486
00:29:34,590 --> 00:29:35,640
Oh, he is slippery.

487
00:29:36,170 --> 00:29:37,220
Is he going to walk?

488
00:29:37,930 --> 00:29:38,980
I don't know.

489
00:29:39,210 --> 00:29:40,260
I mean...

490
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,499
I could fan the flames against the
encroaching yellow hordes. That doesn't

491
00:29:44,500 --> 00:29:47,019
exactly go to the issue of guilt, does
it? No, it does not.

492
00:29:47,020 --> 00:29:50,440
On the other hand, a little demagoguery
can work wonders.

493
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,010
I used it myself.

494
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:54,450
Did you win?

495
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:55,720
As a matter of fact, I did.

496
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:11,779
We all watched those tanks roll into
Tiananmen Square, didn't we? And we all

497
00:30:11,780 --> 00:30:17,359
shivered when we saw that one man stand
in the path of one and refuse to get out

498
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:17,979
of the way.

499
00:30:17,980 --> 00:30:23,579
I don't know about you, but when I saw
that, I found myself thinking, if I

500
00:30:23,580 --> 00:30:26,880
in a society like that, I would do
anything to get out.

501
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,540
Now, what Mr. Chow did was to provide.

502
00:30:31,050 --> 00:30:33,630
A way to provide a means of escape.

503
00:30:33,870 --> 00:30:39,489
And if it was John Brown or Raoul
Wallenberg, well, we salute those men as

504
00:30:39,490 --> 00:30:45,829
heroes. Why have we chosen to put this
man on trial? There isn't a shred of

505
00:30:45,830 --> 00:30:47,410
evidence to prove that Mr.

506
00:30:47,630 --> 00:30:52,649
Chow knew about the conditions on board
that ship. There is not a shred of

507
00:30:52,650 --> 00:30:54,210
evidence to prove that Mr.

508
00:30:54,430 --> 00:30:56,910
Chow knew the status of Lin Chansou's
health.

509
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,240
The ship's captain testified that Mr.

510
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:05,899
Chow, in point of fact, did not know
that these were circumstances beyond his

511
00:31:05,900 --> 00:31:06,950
control.

512
00:31:09,020 --> 00:31:13,180
As a matter of fact, I think of this man
as a hero.

513
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:18,120
He came to this country impoverished. He
became successful.

514
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:23,359
And he cared enough about the plight of
his people to actually try to do

515
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:24,500
something about it.

516
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:26,940
He shouldn't have been indicted.

517
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,460
And this trial should never have taken
place.

518
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,280
Ronald Chow a hero?

519
00:31:38,060 --> 00:31:39,800
Oh, I don't think so.

520
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:46,579
What I think is that he is a modern -day
slave trader, a shameless

521
00:31:46,580 --> 00:31:50,980
exploiter of human beings, and
ultimately he is a murderer.

522
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,900
He smuggles thousands of undocumented
Chinese into our country every year.

523
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:01,159
The fact that he represents himself as
the savior of the oppressed only makes

524
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:07,199
his crimes all the more repulsive. A
savior would not demand a fee equaling a

525
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:11,560
lifetime of earnings in rural China for
the privilege of being rescued.

526
00:32:12,900 --> 00:32:17,779
Ronald Chao knew full well what the
conditions were like on the Jade Moon.

527
00:32:17,780 --> 00:32:22,000
was on the dock when it set sail. He was
on the phone with the captain.

528
00:32:22,490 --> 00:32:28,209
This was a big investment after all. I'd
venture to say that nothing happened on

529
00:32:28,210 --> 00:32:29,950
this ship that he didn't know about.

530
00:32:30,530 --> 00:32:36,150
And so, Lin Shenzhou is dead.

531
00:32:36,410 --> 00:32:38,270
How many more are dying?

532
00:32:38,910 --> 00:32:43,329
How much pestilence and disease has been
released into our city by the other

533
00:32:43,330 --> 00:32:48,449
passengers on this boat? Over two
million illegal immigrants enter our

534
00:32:48,450 --> 00:32:52,209
every year. How many bolos of them will
Ronald Chao bring in? Mr. Mulaney, you

535
00:32:52,210 --> 00:32:55,409
will stop doing what you are doing right
this second. Your Honor, I move for an

536
00:32:55,410 --> 00:32:56,460
immediate mistrial.

537
00:32:56,550 --> 00:32:57,990
I'm going to deny that motion.

538
00:32:57,991 --> 00:33:01,709
I'm also going to warn Mr. Mulaney that
if he tries to bring the issue of

539
00:33:01,710 --> 00:33:05,309
immigration into this trial one more
time, I'm going to hold him in contempt.

540
00:33:05,310 --> 00:33:08,920
The jury will disregard in their
entirety all references made thereto.

541
00:33:09,470 --> 00:33:10,520
Proceed, Mr. Mulaney.

542
00:33:11,290 --> 00:33:14,910
I ask that you find Ronald Chow guilty
of murder.

543
00:33:32,750 --> 00:33:33,800
You're in.

544
00:33:33,801 --> 00:33:37,829
What do you mean, I'm in? I mean that
Albright and Phipps were duly impressed

545
00:33:37,830 --> 00:33:39,820
with you. You're now a member of the
club.

546
00:33:39,821 --> 00:33:42,069
You apparently carry a little weight
down there.

547
00:33:42,070 --> 00:33:44,420
No more than any other member in good
standing.

548
00:33:44,610 --> 00:33:48,929
Oh, come on, Leland. Those guys read me
like a book. It was painfully obvious I

549
00:33:48,930 --> 00:33:49,769
didn't fit in.

550
00:33:49,770 --> 00:33:53,750
I think you may have an overly narrow
view of what it means to fit in.

551
00:33:55,150 --> 00:33:56,530
You're saying they want me?

552
00:33:56,730 --> 00:33:58,670
Yeah. I don't believe it.

553
00:33:59,210 --> 00:34:02,550
Eli, I sponsored you for membership
because...

554
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,990
Well, you're someone with whom I'd like
to spend some time.

555
00:34:06,100 --> 00:34:07,260
I hope you accept it.

556
00:34:07,780 --> 00:34:09,320
It's a gesture of friendship.

557
00:34:14,139 --> 00:34:15,189
I do.

558
00:34:16,179 --> 00:34:17,229
Good, good.

559
00:34:17,900 --> 00:34:19,890
I look forward to seeing you at the
club.

560
00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:22,249
Our club.

561
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,180
Whether you join this firm or not.

562
00:34:24,181 --> 00:34:25,119
Thank you.

563
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,200
You're quite welcome.

564
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,050
Topper?

565
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,520
I don't understand. Why would I settle?

566
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,399
Herb, I'm up nights because of this
case. I want it to be over. When that

567
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,439
a bitch comes across with the money,
it'll be over. Until then, take a

568
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,560
tranquilizer. Hello, everybody.

569
00:34:42,780 --> 00:34:45,480
Are we about to beat our swords into
plowshares?

570
00:34:45,699 --> 00:34:46,749
Look at this guy.

571
00:34:47,020 --> 00:34:48,070
He's unbelievable.

572
00:34:48,139 --> 00:34:50,679
I'm hoping that we can walk out of here
with a deal.

573
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,678
Yeah, I think we can put this whole
affair to rest, in a manner of speaking.

574
00:34:55,679 --> 00:34:58,449
think we can persuade the lion to lie
down with the lamb.

575
00:34:58,860 --> 00:35:02,890
Speaking of which... Travel
opportunities may be opening up on the

576
00:35:02,970 --> 00:35:04,020
The West Bank?

577
00:35:04,150 --> 00:35:05,200
Christmas in Gaza?

578
00:35:05,201 --> 00:35:07,649
Trekking through occupied territories?

579
00:35:07,650 --> 00:35:10,120
Oh, I know it appeals to the vagabond
spirit in me.

580
00:35:10,250 --> 00:35:11,690
Give us your best offer, Nina.

581
00:35:11,890 --> 00:35:16,329
$15 ,000, payable over five installments
over one year. I think we should take

582
00:35:16,330 --> 00:35:17,380
it.

583
00:35:17,690 --> 00:35:21,190
Would you mind telling my wife that $15
,000 is not a serious offer?

584
00:35:22,950 --> 00:35:26,610
Excuse me. Oh, good. I ordered a little
snack. I hope you don't mind.

585
00:35:27,550 --> 00:35:30,250
Get frightfully cranky when my blood
sugar's low.

586
00:35:32,170 --> 00:35:33,220
Keep it.

587
00:35:34,021 --> 00:35:40,849
I think you should take it, Herb. I
think you should take it and have done

588
00:35:40,850 --> 00:35:41,900
this.

589
00:35:42,481 --> 00:35:47,029
So it won't come out that my wife had an
affair?

590
00:35:47,030 --> 00:35:48,450
What are you talking about?

591
00:35:48,710 --> 00:35:53,669
And you flew him here just for this? May
I suggest that we adjourn this meeting

592
00:35:53,670 --> 00:35:54,639
for today?

593
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,199
I think both sides need to confer among
themselves.

594
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,120
How could you know about it? I couldn't
sleep one night.

595
00:36:00,340 --> 00:36:04,400
I went to the window, and I saw him
walking you back. When you came to the

596
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:05,880
I pretended that I was asleep.

597
00:36:06,500 --> 00:36:07,680
Then you took a shower.

598
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:12,820
That told me all I needed to know. Why
didn't you say something, Herb?

599
00:36:13,060 --> 00:36:14,110
Didn't you care?

600
00:36:14,300 --> 00:36:15,350
I cared plenty.

601
00:36:15,540 --> 00:36:16,590
What could I do?

602
00:36:17,020 --> 00:36:18,300
Ask you why you did it?

603
00:36:18,980 --> 00:36:20,460
I know why you did it.

604
00:36:21,260 --> 00:36:23,160
You wanted a little romance.

605
00:36:23,980 --> 00:36:26,150
You wanted a little happiness in your
life.

606
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:27,780
I didn't give you these things.

607
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:29,130
He did.

608
00:36:29,340 --> 00:36:30,390
You went with him.

609
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:36,040
It broke my heart for me to realize that
I was capable of going with him, Herb.

610
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,180
It broke my heart because I never
stopped loving you.

611
00:36:41,220 --> 00:36:46,259
Forgive me for interjecting, but could I
just kind of wonder out loud whether a

612
00:36:46,260 --> 00:36:50,339
lawsuit is what you two should really be
involved with right now? What would you

613
00:36:50,340 --> 00:36:52,720
suggest? How about a weekend at Esalen?

614
00:36:53,500 --> 00:36:58,219
Scenic drive up the coast, visit some
little galleries in Carmel, and then two

615
00:36:58,220 --> 00:37:01,680
solid days of intensive group therapy at
the Institute.

616
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,040
I have a better idea. Two tickets on the
Concord for Paris.

617
00:37:05,380 --> 00:37:10,800
Three weeks in a suite at the Ritz, and
$50 ,000 in spending money.

618
00:37:11,820 --> 00:37:14,530
Shall we take that to be a counteroffer,
Mr. Brackman?

619
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:15,730
How about it, folks?

620
00:37:15,780 --> 00:37:16,830
Would that do it?

621
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,890
It would do it for me, Herb. Then it
would do it for me, too.

622
00:37:19,891 --> 00:37:22,669
Could I persuade you to settle for a
junior suite?

623
00:37:22,670 --> 00:37:23,720
Absolutely not.

624
00:37:24,350 --> 00:37:27,120
Nina, drop the papers. I'm going to go
home and get in bed.

625
00:37:29,890 --> 00:37:30,940
Hey!

626
00:37:35,810 --> 00:37:36,860
Hi.

627
00:37:37,710 --> 00:37:39,490
I think I need to explain myself.

628
00:37:40,850 --> 00:37:41,900
Come in.

629
00:37:46,850 --> 00:37:49,310
Yesterday's diatribe was not directed
or...

630
00:37:49,311 --> 00:37:52,279
should not have been directed towards
you.

631
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,359
It's all right if it was directed at me.
There are things we can do that are

632
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,950
less expensive that'll still be good.
It'll be okay.

633
00:37:58,260 --> 00:37:59,310
No doubt.

634
00:37:59,740 --> 00:38:01,240
I'm sorry to put you through it.

635
00:38:04,100 --> 00:38:05,150
Are you free at all?

636
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:06,720
Yeah, let me see when.

637
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,580
No, I mean now.

638
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,120
Now? Yeah, I don't want you to write it
in your book.

639
00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:16,330
If you can get away for like an hour,
there's some place I want to take you.

640
00:38:17,340 --> 00:38:18,390
Come on.

641
00:38:37,230 --> 00:38:38,490
You said you liked Neutra.

642
00:38:39,670 --> 00:38:40,870
Oh, yeah, that's great.

643
00:38:40,871 --> 00:38:43,989
They're such an elegance to his lines.
They're so simple.

644
00:38:43,990 --> 00:38:45,040
I love the pillars.

645
00:38:46,330 --> 00:38:47,380
The pillars?

646
00:38:47,510 --> 00:38:51,090
He had such a distinctive vision, you
know? You see it in all his work.

647
00:38:52,790 --> 00:38:54,470
You're looking at the wrong house.

648
00:38:55,070 --> 00:38:56,120
I am?

649
00:38:56,750 --> 00:38:57,800
That's the Neutra.

650
00:38:59,170 --> 00:39:00,220
Oh, of course.

651
00:39:00,221 --> 00:39:04,049
I was actually thinking that the other
one was not particularly representative

652
00:39:04,050 --> 00:39:05,100
of his work.

653
00:39:05,390 --> 00:39:07,560
How much do you know about Neutra,
Daniel?

654
00:39:08,790 --> 00:39:11,500
How much do you know about architecture
altogether?

655
00:39:11,810 --> 00:39:14,830
I did study it in school. I just forgot
a lot of what I knew.

656
00:39:14,831 --> 00:39:18,889
In other words, you've been slinging it
around a bit, haven't you?

657
00:39:18,890 --> 00:39:19,940
A bit, yeah.

658
00:39:21,270 --> 00:39:22,320
How come?

659
00:39:22,590 --> 00:39:24,700
I guess I wanted to make a good
impression.

660
00:39:24,770 --> 00:39:26,210
Why would you want to do that?

661
00:39:33,661 --> 00:39:40,709
People going through construction can be
quite vulnerable, you know.

662
00:39:40,710 --> 00:39:42,270
Why are you telling me that now?

663
00:39:42,730 --> 00:39:45,320
In case you were planning on taking
advantage of me.

664
00:39:46,450 --> 00:39:47,500
What if I was?

665
00:39:48,210 --> 00:39:49,650
I'd tell you to go right ahead.

666
00:39:53,450 --> 00:39:55,800
Mr. Foreman, has the jury reached its
verdict?

667
00:39:55,801 --> 00:39:57,029
Yes, we have, Your Honor.

668
00:39:57,030 --> 00:39:57,849
What say you?

669
00:39:57,850 --> 00:40:02,189
In the matter of the people versus
Ronald Chow on the charge of murder in

670
00:40:02,190 --> 00:40:05,190
second degree, we find the defendant
guilty.

671
00:40:06,860 --> 00:40:10,590
The jury is dismissed with the thanks of
the court. This court is adjourned.

672
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:14,250
Mr.

673
00:40:19,140 --> 00:40:20,190
Mullaney.

674
00:40:22,420 --> 00:40:23,800
I want to tell you something.

675
00:40:24,740 --> 00:40:27,880
You couldn't win this case on facts, so
you won it on racism.

676
00:40:28,140 --> 00:40:31,390
Mr. Klein, I won because the jury
believed your client was guilty.

677
00:40:31,460 --> 00:40:35,400
Out and out racism. Hey, spare me the
righteous indignation, Counselor.

678
00:40:35,401 --> 00:40:38,539
If he'd gotten your client off, he'd
gone right back to packing those scouts

679
00:40:38,540 --> 00:40:41,019
full of poor people desperate enough to
get on board.

680
00:40:41,020 --> 00:40:43,370
He's the scum of the earth. He belongs
in prison.

681
00:40:43,660 --> 00:40:47,000
I feel no remorse whatsoever about what
it took to put him there.

682
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:48,650
Excuse me?

683
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:50,650
Mr.

684
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,660
Mullaney, Mrs. Ling asked me to
translate.

685
00:40:54,940 --> 00:40:57,080
She'd like to say something to you.
Sure.

686
00:41:01,140 --> 00:41:03,740
She wants to know...

687
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:09,419
If you hate the Chinese people. Well,
tell her no. Tell her I just wanted to

688
00:41:09,420 --> 00:41:12,070
punish the man responsible for her
husband's death.

689
00:41:18,300 --> 00:41:19,350
She said,

690
00:41:26,340 --> 00:41:31,400
I'm glad Chao is in prison, but I'm also
glad there are many to take his place.

691
00:41:40,070 --> 00:41:43,250
I'm being sent back to China because I'm
illegal.

692
00:41:43,790 --> 00:41:45,830
I will work and I will wait.

693
00:41:56,770 --> 00:42:00,430
Someday, I will contact another
snakehead, the same as Chao.

694
00:42:00,860 --> 00:42:04,080
And I will pay him to let me lie in the
same kind of boat.

695
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:12,420
Because for me, there is no other way.

696
00:42:23,980 --> 00:42:27,650
I was on the phone with my shrink for an
hour and a half last night. How come?

697
00:42:27,651 --> 00:42:30,689
Because I'm actually thinking about
taking the firm up in a sophomore and

698
00:42:30,690 --> 00:42:32,370
moving. What did your shrink say?

699
00:42:32,371 --> 00:42:35,369
He said it sounded like I was asking his
permission.

700
00:42:35,370 --> 00:42:37,230
Well, did he give you his permission?

701
00:42:37,250 --> 00:42:38,570
No, he said I didn't need it.

702
00:42:39,990 --> 00:42:41,040
So?

703
00:42:42,050 --> 00:42:45,210
Well, the truth is, I could do it.

704
00:42:45,211 --> 00:42:48,069
Sidney and Charlie would get along
without me.

705
00:42:48,070 --> 00:42:51,329
I'd go back there and wrap up whatever I
need to wrap up in a matter of days.

706
00:42:51,330 --> 00:42:52,380
Yeah, so?

707
00:42:52,381 --> 00:42:55,249
Audrey and I are in an on -again, off
-again kind of thing. That wouldn't

708
00:42:55,250 --> 00:42:56,390
prevent me from moving.

709
00:42:56,391 --> 00:42:58,689
Well, it sounds like nothing's stopping
you.

710
00:42:58,690 --> 00:43:00,690
Well, there is what I'd be leaving.

711
00:43:01,470 --> 00:43:02,520
Central Park,

712
00:43:03,130 --> 00:43:06,510
day bars, fairways. I love fairways.

713
00:43:07,050 --> 00:43:09,580
Buying the next day's newspaper the
night before.

714
00:43:10,350 --> 00:43:11,400
Decent rye bread.

715
00:43:12,250 --> 00:43:15,330
Those soft, sooty pretzels they sell
near the courthouse.

716
00:43:15,331 --> 00:43:18,309
Eli, I know exactly what you're talking
about.

717
00:43:18,310 --> 00:43:21,530
I mean, I thought, how could I leave my
family, my friends?

718
00:43:21,531 --> 00:43:24,509
And I finally got my own apartment. I
had to leave that, too.

719
00:43:24,510 --> 00:43:25,590
You don't hate it here.

720
00:43:25,710 --> 00:43:26,790
What's there to hate?

721
00:43:26,791 --> 00:43:30,139
I mean, there's different people,
different opportunities, whole different

722
00:43:30,140 --> 00:43:32,880
ocean. I mean, come on. The weather's
not bad either.

723
00:43:33,240 --> 00:43:36,010
Not bad either. We're on the beach. It's
almost November.

724
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:37,130
It's gorgeous here.

725
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:42,220
Excuse me?

726
00:43:44,380 --> 00:43:46,380
Man plans and God laughs.

727
00:43:46,940 --> 00:43:48,020
Ain't that the truth?

728
00:43:49,420 --> 00:43:52,790
Take all along tethered to this idea of
what your life is going to be.

729
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,050
Things happen.

730
00:43:54,300 --> 00:43:55,620
Your life isn't like that.

731
00:43:56,430 --> 00:43:59,590
You realize this is something you could
do.

732
00:44:00,170 --> 00:44:01,610
But is it something I will do?

733
00:44:07,130 --> 00:44:08,570
You know what? What?

734
00:44:09,890 --> 00:44:11,170
I'm not going to woo you.

735
00:44:12,050 --> 00:44:13,100
What about that?

736
00:44:13,990 --> 00:44:16,730
I'm not going to spend a lot of time in
contemplation.

737
00:44:17,130 --> 00:44:21,069
I'm not going to weigh the pluses and
minuses. And I'm not going to call 27

738
00:44:21,070 --> 00:44:23,960
different people and ask them what they
think I should do.

739
00:44:24,370 --> 00:44:27,150
This one time in my life, I am going to
act.

740
00:44:27,510 --> 00:44:31,209
I am going to act. I am going to choose
a course of action I am going to set out

741
00:44:31,210 --> 00:44:32,249
on.

742
00:44:32,250 --> 00:44:37,509
Denise, I am moving to Los Angeles.
Yeah? I am joining his firm and I am

743
00:44:37,510 --> 00:44:38,560
to Los Angeles.

744
00:44:40,370 --> 00:44:41,420
I'm so happy.

745
00:44:41,750 --> 00:44:43,490
Oh, me too. I'm so glad.

746
00:44:46,770 --> 00:44:48,880
Now, you know, can I make one
suggestion?

747
00:44:48,930 --> 00:44:49,980
Yes.

748
00:44:50,050 --> 00:44:51,370
We're on the beach, right?

749
00:44:51,430 --> 00:44:54,450
Yeah. Why don't you loosen your tie and
lose the shoes?

750
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:57,960
Let's not push it.

751
00:45:03,260 --> 00:45:04,740
A whole different notion.

752
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,380
A whole different notion.

753
00:45:07,430 --> 00:45:11,980
