1
00:00:43,523 --> 00:00:46,492
(group sings)
2
00:01:04,611 --> 00:01:07,171
(radio announcer) New Orleans,
good morning. It's Rob Ryan in with you.
3
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,475
Coming up, tickets for the big
Voodoo Fest coming to town...
4
00:01:09,583 --> 00:01:11,448
(radio announcer #2)... Ponchartrain,
to the banks of the Mississippi,
5
00:01:11,551 --> 00:01:13,849
from Baton Rouge to Bayou Boutin,
6
00:01:13,954 --> 00:01:15,683
this is Hooks
checking your news headlines.
7
00:01:15,789 --> 00:01:17,757
(radio announcer #3)
Good day to be in New Orleans...
8
00:01:19,426 --> 00:01:21,986
(humming)
9
00:01:22,095 --> 00:01:24,859
How's the birthday boy? Huh?
10
00:01:28,435 --> 00:01:31,165
- (man) And this is for Mommy.
- (woman) Thank you, sweetheart.
11
00:01:31,304 --> 00:01:34,296
(man) Look at Grandpa.
Look at Grandpa. Say hi.
12
00:01:34,441 --> 00:01:36,534
(sings softly)
13
00:01:36,676 --> 00:01:39,509
- You wanna open a present?
- (boy) Yeah!
14
00:01:41,548 --> 00:01:43,743
(humming)
15
00:01:43,850 --> 00:01:46,045
- Good morning, Mr. Wood.
- Morning, Katie.
16
00:01:46,153 --> 00:01:48,417
- Paper.
- Oh.
17
00:01:48,522 --> 00:01:51,320
- Thank you. How was your weekend?
- Great. How was yours?
18
00:01:51,425 --> 00:01:52,949
- Very nice.
- Good.
19
00:01:53,059 --> 00:01:54,492
- How are the kids?
- Great.
20
00:01:54,594 --> 00:01:55,561
Oh, sh...
21
00:01:55,662 --> 00:01:58,631
- (giggling)
- Henry!
22
00:01:58,732 --> 00:02:00,324
Jacob.
23
00:02:00,367 --> 00:02:02,335
- Ted. Morning.
- It's happening.
24
00:02:02,436 --> 00:02:04,427
- What? What's happening?
- Does your car have a radio?
25
00:02:04,538 --> 00:02:06,563
Greenspan's speech
was delayed after the FOMC meeting.
26
00:02:06,706 --> 00:02:08,640
Rumor is he's sick,
and my screen looks like
27
00:02:08,742 --> 00:02:10,471
the end of the world
is factored into prices.
28
00:02:10,577 --> 00:02:13,045
Let's have everyone in
the conference room in ten minutes.
29
00:02:13,180 --> 00:02:15,148
Deborah, I need you for five minutes.
30
00:02:15,248 --> 00:02:17,910
Ted, it's Monday, buddy.
There'll be a Tuesday.
31
00:02:18,018 --> 00:02:20,111
(Deborah) OK,
you have a conference call
32
00:02:20,220 --> 00:02:22,552
about the anti-trust approvals
with Hallory at 11.
33
00:02:22,656 --> 00:02:25,648
Close the door, please.
34
00:02:28,728 --> 00:02:33,131
- So, how did Henry's party go?
- Terrific. He had a great time.
35
00:02:33,233 --> 00:02:36,031
Good.
36
00:02:36,169 --> 00:02:40,970
- l-I have a problem.
- OK. What is it?
37
00:02:42,509 --> 00:02:45,945
(humming)
38
00:02:54,721 --> 00:02:57,212
He taught me a song for his birthday,
and I have to sing it for him
39
00:02:57,324 --> 00:03:00,157
tonight at bedtime, and I can't think,
for the life of me, what it is.
40
00:03:00,260 --> 00:03:03,252
OK, OK. Just, you know, sing me a little
and we'll figure it out together.
41
00:03:18,712 --> 00:03:21,180
Whoo!
42
00:03:21,348 --> 00:03:24,613
- (gunfire)
- What the hell is this?
43
00:03:24,718 --> 00:03:26,777
(shouting)
44
00:03:26,887 --> 00:03:30,084
- Call 911!
- (gunfire continues)
45
00:03:30,190 --> 00:03:32,988
- (woman) 911.
- Yes, I wanna report a shooting.
46
00:03:33,093 --> 00:03:36,062
(screaming)
47
00:03:42,135 --> 00:03:43,295
- Get behind the desk.
- What?
48
00:03:43,436 --> 00:03:45,495
- Get behind the desk and stay there!
- Ma'am?
49
00:03:45,639 --> 00:03:47,334
Uh, the Laurel-Morgan Building.
50
00:03:47,474 --> 00:03:49,635
- Third floor, Pete Murray and Colfax.
- How many are injured, ma'am?
51
00:03:49,776 --> 00:03:51,403
- Ma'am?
- I don't know.
52
00:03:51,511 --> 00:03:54,071
I don't know how many...
No, you gotta stay with me! God!
53
00:03:54,180 --> 00:03:55,807
- Quiet...
- They put me on hold.
54
00:03:55,916 --> 00:03:58,248
- Hello?
- Oh, shit.
55
00:03:58,351 --> 00:04:00,819
- Deborah. Deborah, calm down.
- Can you see anything?
56
00:04:00,921 --> 00:04:06,120
- It's gonna be fine. I promise.
- Hello?
57
00:04:06,226 --> 00:04:09,821
Hello? Come on...
58
00:04:15,001 --> 00:04:19,301
(Deborah) Come on.
Please send somebody.
59
00:04:19,439 --> 00:04:22,499
(crying) Somebody pick up.
Please pick up.
60
00:04:28,248 --> 00:04:30,216
(gunshot)
61
00:04:57,844 --> 00:05:01,405
- Good morning, Mr. Pulaski.
- Morning, Nick.
62
00:05:02,882 --> 00:05:06,181
- Do you need some help with that?
- Ah, bilge ring keeps crappin' out,
63
00:05:06,286 --> 00:05:08,550
blocking up the damn pump.
I got it now, Nick.
64
00:05:08,655 --> 00:05:10,680
Last time, you nearly took out
every sink in the quarter, you know.
65
00:05:10,790 --> 00:05:15,352
Hey, that was those kids messing
with the water main. (coughing)
66
00:05:15,462 --> 00:05:17,362
You know, you should
really quit those things.
67
00:05:17,464 --> 00:05:19,091
What for?
68
00:05:50,230 --> 00:05:53,757
Christmas comes a little early this year.
69
00:05:59,572 --> 00:06:03,235
(man) Ah, there's our boy.
So, what do you say?
70
00:06:03,343 --> 00:06:03,977
Does he stop in for coffee and a cruller?
71
00:06:03,977 --> 00:06:06,309
Does he stop in for coffee and a cruller?
72
00:06:06,413 --> 00:06:10,247
- (man #2) Ah, let's give him a cruller.
- Oh, bingo! We have a winner.
73
00:06:10,350 --> 00:06:12,978
(man #2) I can smell
the fried dough over here.
74
00:06:13,086 --> 00:06:18,319
(man #1) And... Ah, there he is.
Breakfast of champions, right there.
75
00:06:24,164 --> 00:06:26,997
Oh, and we're losing him.
I'll take just a couple more.
76
00:06:27,100 --> 00:06:32,299
Say good-bye to Mr. Nicholas Easter.
Who's next on the hit parade?
77
00:06:43,717 --> 00:06:45,947
- Hi.
- Bonjour.
78
00:06:47,554 --> 00:06:50,387
- Can I look at that candle?
- C'est la?
79
00:06:50,490 --> 00:06:53,050
No, I'm sorry. The red one.
80
00:06:53,159 --> 00:06:57,220
It's just to the left of that scary pentacle
and the jar of bloodroot.
81
00:06:57,330 --> 00:07:00,197
- Right there?
- (speaks Cajun)
82
00:07:01,501 --> 00:07:02,832
Oh!
83
00:07:04,204 --> 00:07:06,399
Oh, thank you. What did you say?
84
00:07:06,539 --> 00:07:09,099
She's Cajun. I told her that
you wanted the St. Nicholas candle.
85
00:07:09,242 --> 00:07:12,541
- Right? Is that what you wanted?
- Yeah, that's the one I was pointing to.
86
00:07:12,645 --> 00:07:15,773
(speaks Cajun)
87
00:07:15,882 --> 00:07:18,646
Now, what happened right there?
What did she say?
88
00:07:18,752 --> 00:07:21,949
She said you're a nice-Iooking boy,
but she doesn't trust you.
89
00:07:22,055 --> 00:07:24,523
She didn't say that, did she?
90
00:07:24,624 --> 00:07:27,149
You know what it is?
91
00:07:27,260 --> 00:07:32,892
Jury duty. Got a summons in the mail.
Just trying to pray my way out of it.
92
00:07:32,999 --> 00:07:37,129
- Where's your sense of civic duty?
- Um, I flunked civics.
93
00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:40,296
- Oh.
- Do you have any other tips?
94
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,171
I would go with the St. Catherine candle.
95
00:07:44,277 --> 00:07:46,336
- What did she do?
- She's the patron saint
96
00:07:46,446 --> 00:07:48,937
of unmarried women and... jurors.
97
00:07:49,048 --> 00:07:51,107
- Really?
- Really.
98
00:07:51,217 --> 00:07:53,651
That's not what that candle really is,
is it?
99
00:08:09,502 --> 00:08:12,027
This your first time in New Orleans?
100
00:08:12,172 --> 00:08:14,402
No, no. I've been here
a number of times.
101
00:08:14,541 --> 00:08:18,875
Hm. I had you pegged as a first-timer.
102
00:08:18,978 --> 00:08:22,505
- Is that right?
- (chuckling) Yeah.
103
00:08:29,489 --> 00:08:32,083
- How's your mother?
- Excuse me?
104
00:08:32,192 --> 00:08:36,424
- Is she feeling better?
- How do you know about my mother?
105
00:08:36,529 --> 00:08:39,692
She was in the hospital, but now
you're taking care of her at home.
106
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:41,994
She had a stroke.
107
00:08:42,101 --> 00:08:44,001
Your wife wants you
to put her in a home,
108
00:08:44,137 --> 00:08:47,368
but you're feeling guilty about that.
You've checked out a few of them,
109
00:08:47,507 --> 00:08:50,442
and it doesn't feel like
the Christian thing to do.
110
00:08:50,543 --> 00:08:54,104
My advice: reconsider the home.
111
00:08:54,214 --> 00:08:57,843
Better an unhappy mother
than an unfriendly wife.
112
00:09:00,053 --> 00:09:01,577
I'm up here on the right.
113
00:09:05,491 --> 00:09:08,426
(man) The same thing with guns
and Vicksburg Firearms.
114
00:09:08,528 --> 00:09:11,964
The only thing that's gonna win the case
for us is because for the first time,
115
00:09:12,065 --> 00:09:15,694
we got a gun company ex-executive who's
gonna go up against his former employer
116
00:09:15,802 --> 00:09:20,136
and, with good conscience,
he's gonna testify for us.
117
00:09:20,273 --> 00:09:23,037
I promised Celeste
that I would win it for her
118
00:09:23,142 --> 00:09:25,303
and all the other victims
that died that day.
119
00:09:25,411 --> 00:09:27,276
You're gonna make history, Celeste.
120
00:09:27,380 --> 00:09:31,339
We're gonna make history together.
Thank you for your courage.
121
00:09:39,192 --> 00:09:41,786
Barry, we got
the Strickland SUV case at noon,
122
00:09:41,895 --> 00:09:44,989
and, Celeste, I'm gonna see you
and your son at Arnaud's at six...
123
00:09:45,098 --> 00:09:47,259
- Just as long as we don't talk about...
- Nothing about the case.
124
00:09:47,367 --> 00:09:50,666
This is dinner with you and Henry.
Barry, you got time to see her to her car?
125
00:09:50,803 --> 00:09:52,600
- Absolutely.
- Thank you.
126
00:09:52,739 --> 00:09:54,468
- Mr. Rohr.
- Yeah?
127
00:09:54,607 --> 00:09:57,041
Lawrence Green. Lindus Hostetler.
128
00:09:57,143 --> 00:09:58,371
- Ah, Hostetler.
- We... Yeah.
129
00:09:58,478 --> 00:10:01,311
- Yes, jury consultants, New York City.
- Philadelphia.
130
00:10:01,414 --> 00:10:02,972
I wanna thank you for agreeing
to meet with me, sir. Thank you.
131
00:10:03,082 --> 00:10:05,448
I just want you to guess
how many phone calls and letters
132
00:10:05,551 --> 00:10:08,884
I get from expert jury consultants
such as yourself.
133
00:10:08,988 --> 00:10:10,546
- I can imagine, sir.
- Go on, take a guess.
134
00:10:10,657 --> 00:10:13,057
Well, I appreciate that
you invited me down here, sir.
135
00:10:13,159 --> 00:10:15,957
Well, this is more important now.
Which one?
136
00:10:16,062 --> 00:10:17,893
- I'm sorry?
- Well, I'm off to court.
137
00:10:17,997 --> 00:10:20,158
This is the striped, non-striped.
Striped, non-striped.
138
00:10:20,266 --> 00:10:22,996
Go... I would go with the striped one, sir.
It matches your jacket.
139
00:10:23,102 --> 00:10:24,592
And you have a striped one
because you're from New York City.
140
00:10:24,737 --> 00:10:25,931
Philadelphia, sir.
141
00:10:26,072 --> 00:10:27,767
I think we're gonna go with
the non-striped one, Phyllis.
142
00:10:27,907 --> 00:10:30,341
You know, as a clever jury consultant,
143
00:10:30,443 --> 00:10:32,741
you should know that jurors down here
don't trust a lawyer
144
00:10:32,845 --> 00:10:35,313
- who's too nattily turned out. Huh?
- It's...
145
00:10:35,415 --> 00:10:38,043
- How familiar are you with my case?
- Very, sir.
146
00:10:38,151 --> 00:10:40,346
- You think it's a strong case?
- Yes, sir.
147
00:10:40,453 --> 00:10:45,186
- Ooh. Do you think it's a winning case?
- People don't win gun cases, Mr. Rohr.
148
00:10:46,125 --> 00:10:48,093
I think I can help you with that, sir.
149
00:10:49,963 --> 00:10:51,760
There's gotta be
another commuter flight.
150
00:10:51,864 --> 00:10:54,230
Have you tried one
in Richmond or Atlanta?
151
00:10:55,969 --> 00:10:58,733
I gotta call you back. He's here.
152
00:11:00,673 --> 00:11:04,074
You represent the widow of a man
shot by a Vicksburg Firearms gun.
153
00:11:04,177 --> 00:11:06,509
That gun company's finding out
things about prospective jurors
154
00:11:06,612 --> 00:11:08,477
their husbands and their wives
don't even know.
155
00:11:08,581 --> 00:11:10,549
- Is that right?
- Yeah. And the word is,
156
00:11:10,650 --> 00:11:14,814
the defense has retained Rankin Fitch
as their lead jury consultant.
157
00:11:14,921 --> 00:11:16,946
- Rankin Fitch?
- You don't...
158
00:11:17,056 --> 00:11:18,284
No, I know who he is.
159
00:11:21,661 --> 00:11:23,856
Mr. Fitch, how was your flight?
160
00:11:23,963 --> 00:11:26,090
Fine. Are we up and running,
Miss Monroe?
161
00:11:26,199 --> 00:11:30,659
We are. Kaufman's inside with Birk
and the kid from MIT, Lamb, he's here, too.
162
00:11:30,770 --> 00:11:33,739
- What about Broussard, Forensic...
- Linguistics out of Rochester.
163
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,707
He missed his connecting flight
in Atlanta, but he'll be here by three.
164
00:11:36,809 --> 00:11:38,743
- Who's our backup?
- Sir, he'll be here by three.
165
00:11:38,845 --> 00:11:41,541
- Who is our backup?
- Levon Raines, out of Dallas.
166
00:11:41,647 --> 00:11:45,481
All right. Call Mr. Broussard.
Tell him his service is no longer required.
167
00:11:46,953 --> 00:11:49,945
- See what time Raines can be here.
- Yes, sir.
168
00:11:50,056 --> 00:11:51,683
Mr. Fitch.
169
00:11:59,799 --> 00:12:02,165
I just want you to tell me
why I need a jury consultant.
170
00:12:02,268 --> 00:12:04,896
Fitch's team will be scientifically
picking jurors predisposed in his favor
171
00:12:05,038 --> 00:12:08,974
by using video surveillance,
wiretaps, psych profiles, graphology...
172
00:12:09,108 --> 00:12:10,735
- Barry, where's my car?
- It's where you parked it.
173
00:12:10,877 --> 00:12:12,139
All right, come on. We're going together.
174
00:12:12,245 --> 00:12:15,840
Sir, I have a master's in psychology
from the University of Chicago.
175
00:12:15,948 --> 00:12:19,816
I know handwriting analysis. I know
this stuff. I really do. Plus civics, OK?
176
00:12:21,654 --> 00:12:24,020
(woman) Delores Kinnerly,
registered Democrat,
177
00:12:24,123 --> 00:12:28,822
46 years of age, unmarried,
occupational therapist. Devout cat lover.
178
00:12:28,928 --> 00:12:32,022
Yeah, look at the way she turns away
from the man walking his dog.
179
00:12:32,131 --> 00:12:34,224
She's definitely self-conscious
about her weight.
180
00:12:34,333 --> 00:12:36,563
(Fitch) Maybe she just hates dogs.
181
00:12:37,603 --> 00:12:39,036
- Good morning.
- Morning.
182
00:12:39,138 --> 00:12:41,106
Freeze that, Mr. Lamb.
183
00:12:44,710 --> 00:12:46,678
We love fat women, people.
184
00:12:48,381 --> 00:12:50,713
They're tight-fisted, unsympathetic.
185
00:12:50,817 --> 00:12:54,253
I want her on my jury. Ladies and
gentlemen, let's find 11 more jurors
186
00:12:54,353 --> 00:12:55,945
and three alternates just like her.
187
00:12:56,055 --> 00:12:59,024
- Who's next?
- Jerry Fernandez, 40 years old.
188
00:12:59,125 --> 00:13:01,093
Puerto Rican. Works for
a local moving company...
189
00:13:01,194 --> 00:13:03,424
I got 35 years
of experience in courtrooms,
190
00:13:03,529 --> 00:13:04,860
and my instincts for picking jurors
191
00:13:04,964 --> 00:13:07,990
has served me quite nicely so far.
I wanna thank you for your time.
192
00:13:08,101 --> 00:13:11,366
Mr. Rohr, I flew down here
on my own dime.
193
00:13:11,504 --> 00:13:13,563
- Why?
- Because I... I...
194
00:13:13,706 --> 00:13:16,675
Because I believe in...
I believe in this case!
195
00:13:16,809 --> 00:13:21,610
- Why?
- I... I believe in a world without guns.
196
00:13:21,714 --> 00:13:24,581
That's very sweet, but a little naive.
197
00:13:28,554 --> 00:13:31,955
- 30 percent.
- I'm sorry. Excuse me?
198
00:13:32,058 --> 00:13:36,586
30 percent of your usual fee,
you're hired, strictly probationary status.
199
00:13:36,696 --> 00:13:37,890
You don't wanna check out my r�sum�...
200
00:13:37,997 --> 00:13:40,898
Already did. It's impressive.
201
00:13:44,437 --> 00:13:46,462
- (man) OK, here's the thing.
- (Nick) What've you got?
202
00:13:46,672 --> 00:13:48,105
(man) "The following
are automatically exempt..."
203
00:13:48,207 --> 00:13:50,437
- I read through that stuff.
- "Not a resident of New Orleans Parish."
204
00:13:50,543 --> 00:13:51,669
That's not gonna work.
What am I gonna say?
205
00:13:51,944 --> 00:13:53,741
- We have to be thorough.
- Russell, I'm gonna tell these people
206
00:13:53,846 --> 00:13:56,314
- I'm just gonna pack up and leave?
- Number two...
207
00:13:56,415 --> 00:13:58,440
What do you mean, pack up and leave?
I've seen your stuff.
208
00:13:58,551 --> 00:14:00,075
- You ain't got nothing to pack.
- No, it's true. They own you.
209
00:14:00,186 --> 00:14:02,882
But I'll tell you this. One thing
you can do: Leave the country.
210
00:14:02,989 --> 00:14:04,957
Why am I gonna leave the country?
211
00:14:05,057 --> 00:14:07,218
- Uh, church convention.
- Sex change.
212
00:14:07,326 --> 00:14:09,351
You're leaving because
you're becoming a woman.
213
00:14:09,462 --> 00:14:11,225
Yeah. You got a goat farm...
214
00:14:11,330 --> 00:14:14,595
This whole thing is a disaster
because I got my life, I got my work
215
00:14:14,700 --> 00:14:17,191
and I got my training.
The Challenge. The Challenge.
216
00:14:17,336 --> 00:14:20,203
- Ooh! Ooh! You can claim hardship.
- That's eight weeks away...
217
00:14:20,306 --> 00:14:21,705
- Eight weeks and you're gone.
- I can't do it.
218
00:14:21,908 --> 00:14:22,806
And you can't do it.
219
00:14:22,909 --> 00:14:24,740
You've got the Challenge. You can't go.
220
00:14:24,844 --> 00:14:28,610
All right, all right. Check this. "If you
have been convicted of a felony..."
221
00:14:28,714 --> 00:14:31,182
- Have you been convicted of a felony?
- No.
222
00:14:31,284 --> 00:14:34,412
You should commit a felony.
Just commit a crime.
223
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,318
- Are you serious?
- It doesn't have to be a bad crime.
224
00:14:37,423 --> 00:14:40,017
- You're out. You're gone.
- I should commit a crime?
225
00:14:40,126 --> 00:14:42,117
You're asking to get out of it,
are you not?
226
00:14:42,228 --> 00:14:44,196
You registered to vote.
That's the problem.
227
00:14:44,297 --> 00:14:47,698
If you register to vote,
then they got you in that jury pool.
228
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,631
We need to de-register him.
229
00:14:49,735 --> 00:14:52,568
You know, one of these days, I'm gonna
get organized, throw half this stuff away.
230
00:14:52,705 --> 00:14:55,765
Oh, what's that?
A Walther PPK. That's a nice piece.
231
00:14:55,908 --> 00:14:58,206
That's the same gun James Bond uses.
You know that?
232
00:14:58,311 --> 00:15:02,907
Really? Can't be too safe these days.
Walking on the streets all alone.
233
00:15:03,015 --> 00:15:04,915
- Smooth, Maxine.
- Tell you what.
234
00:15:05,017 --> 00:15:07,781
It's easier to find an honest firearm
these days than a good man.
235
00:15:07,887 --> 00:15:09,582
- Ouch!
- You know how to use it?
236
00:15:09,689 --> 00:15:11,452
Oh, my brother took me out
to the dump one time.
237
00:15:11,557 --> 00:15:14,287
Mm-hm. You should let me take you
down to a firing range, really.
238
00:15:14,393 --> 00:15:16,691
- Attaboy. Attaboy.
- Yeah, I'll show you how to shoot.
239
00:15:16,796 --> 00:15:19,162
- I got a few ideas.
- I bet.
240
00:15:20,766 --> 00:15:22,859
- Nice job, Maxine.
- (man) Way to go.
241
00:15:22,969 --> 00:15:26,666
Frank Herrera, Cuban, 43 years old.
Retired Marine sergeant.
242
00:15:26,806 --> 00:15:29,434
Served tours in Panama and Grenada.
Twice divorced.
243
00:15:29,575 --> 00:15:31,736
Now he makes his living
cleaning swimming pools.
244
00:15:31,844 --> 00:15:35,007
Fair to say that he misses
his former position of authority.
245
00:15:35,114 --> 00:15:39,312
I think Frank would make an excellent
jury foreman, don't you, Mr. Cable?
246
00:15:39,418 --> 00:15:42,012
Well, I'm only lead counsel
for the defense, Mr. Fitch.
247
00:15:42,121 --> 00:15:44,749
I don't pretend to know
very much about jury selection.
248
00:15:44,857 --> 00:15:46,825
- Really?
- Really.
249
00:15:46,926 --> 00:15:49,156
- Who's next?
- Next is Nicholas Easter.
250
00:15:49,262 --> 00:15:52,993
34, co-manager of Game Trader
in the Esplanade Mall.
251
00:15:53,099 --> 00:15:54,589
- Who's it for?
- Oh, he's gonna love this.
252
00:15:54,700 --> 00:15:56,725
Yeah. Now watch me
hit this lady in the head.
253
00:15:56,869 --> 00:15:59,167
- See how her head explodes?
- It completely explodes!
254
00:15:59,305 --> 00:16:01,500
You're not supposed to hit her.
You know, you hit the bad guys.
255
00:16:01,641 --> 00:16:03,108
- I can try?
- Give it a shot, yeah.
256
00:16:03,242 --> 00:16:05,437
OK. Show me how to hold it.
257
00:16:05,544 --> 00:16:06,738
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
258
00:16:06,846 --> 00:16:10,805
I threw in this little, um, sniper game.
I thought he might like it.
259
00:16:10,916 --> 00:16:13,248
Uh, I wrote down my phone number.
260
00:16:13,352 --> 00:16:16,651
Oh, OK. So that's a local number.
You're here.
261
00:16:16,756 --> 00:16:18,747
- Yeah, we're close. Perfect.
- Right on.
262
00:16:18,858 --> 00:16:21,088
- I'm Maxine.
- I'm Nick Easter.
263
00:16:21,193 --> 00:16:23,491
He calls himself a part-time student.
264
00:16:23,596 --> 00:16:26,929
- Uh, Tulane? City college?
- Currently nowhere.
265
00:16:27,033 --> 00:16:29,866
So he's lying. Where's he from?
266
00:16:29,969 --> 00:16:31,527
Moved here eight months ago.
Trail's cold.
267
00:16:31,671 --> 00:16:35,698
Just dropped out of the sky
like the Archangel Gabriel, huh?
268
00:16:35,841 --> 00:16:37,206
You put him on a jury
with Sergeant Herrera,
269
00:16:37,310 --> 00:16:39,744
he's gonna be doing dog tricks
inside five minutes.
270
00:16:39,845 --> 00:16:42,040
Look, without reviewing
his questionnaire,
271
00:16:42,148 --> 00:16:44,912
without a formal Q and A,
I don't think I can trust this.
272
00:16:45,017 --> 00:16:47,713
Well, you're only lead counsel
for the defense, Mr. Cable.
273
00:16:47,820 --> 00:16:50,550
You shouldn't pretend
to know very much about jury selection.
274
00:16:50,656 --> 00:16:56,094
Nicholas Easter, he's an entertainer.
Wants to make everybody happy.
275
00:16:56,195 --> 00:16:58,755
Not a bad way to go through life,
making everybody happy.
276
00:16:58,864 --> 00:17:01,731
But in court, it's not that simple.
277
00:17:01,834 --> 00:17:04,394
Somebody always loses.
278
00:17:04,537 --> 00:17:06,528
Just not me.
279
00:17:06,672 --> 00:17:09,607
He's a risk. Let's move on.
280
00:17:09,709 --> 00:17:12,143
(anchorwoman) The case stems
from the shooting death
281
00:17:12,244 --> 00:17:15,111
of New Orleans stockbroker
Jacob Wood two years ago.
282
00:17:15,214 --> 00:17:18,308
Seating a panel won't be easy
in this highly watched,
283
00:17:18,417 --> 00:17:20,977
politically charged trial
that begins with jury selection today.
284
00:17:21,087 --> 00:17:24,420
On the defense, Vicksburg Firearms.
285
00:17:24,523 --> 00:17:27,390
Attorneys will begin questioning
potential jurors today...
286
00:17:27,493 --> 00:17:29,154
(reporter) The gun industry
has never lost in the courts,
287
00:17:29,261 --> 00:17:32,287
but this time, the man leading this fight,
attorney Wendall Rohr,
288
00:17:32,398 --> 00:17:36,732
says it'll be different. He says this time,
the gun industry will pay.
289
00:17:36,836 --> 00:17:41,796
- It's not sticking. I need the other tape.
- Ah, for pity's sake.
290
00:17:41,941 --> 00:17:43,932
- You know what you're doing?
- You're good to go.
291
00:17:44,076 --> 00:17:46,203
- Could I get your glasses, big guy?
- Perfect. Same prescription.
292
00:17:46,746 --> 00:17:50,807
The frames, however,
will feel a little bit heavier. Put 'em on.
293
00:17:50,916 --> 00:17:55,012
Right side of the table.
Keep it square. Keep it clear.
294
00:17:55,121 --> 00:18:00,423
Mr. Cable. I'm gonna be
putting this behind your right ear.
295
00:18:00,526 --> 00:18:02,460
- What is it?
- Well, it ain't Dramamine.
296
00:18:02,561 --> 00:18:03,529
Right there. All set.
297
00:18:03,529 --> 00:18:04,393
Right there. All set.
298
00:18:04,497 --> 00:18:06,328
- You're done?
- I am.
299
00:18:32,091 --> 00:18:34,525
Mr. Rohr.
300
00:18:38,831 --> 00:18:43,962
- Can you smell that?
- 200-year-old mahogany.
301
00:18:44,103 --> 00:18:49,405
Furniture polish,
cheap cologne and body odor.
302
00:18:50,876 --> 00:18:52,104
Wendall.
303
00:19:23,242 --> 00:19:25,938
How you doin'? I'm Nick.
304
00:19:26,045 --> 00:19:28,070
- Lydia.
- So, what are we supposed to do?
305
00:19:28,180 --> 00:19:30,614
Are we supposed to sit here all day?
Is that it?
306
00:19:30,716 --> 00:19:34,516
- What do they want us to do?
- I'm sure we can think of something.
307
00:19:34,620 --> 00:19:37,714
(bailiff) All rise!
308
00:19:40,893 --> 00:19:45,193
Oyez, oyez, oyez, civil district court for
the Parish of Orleans is now in session.
309
00:19:45,297 --> 00:19:48,027
The Honorable
Frederick Buford Harkin presiding.
310
00:19:48,133 --> 00:19:50,465
God save this state
and this honorable court.
311
00:19:50,569 --> 00:19:52,935
Thank you, bailiff.
You may take your seats.
312
00:20:00,246 --> 00:20:01,975
This suit is brought
by the plaintiff Celeste Wood...
313
00:20:02,081 --> 00:20:04,743
Over your left shoulder.
Rankin Fitch, 2:00.
314
00:20:04,850 --> 00:20:06,841
Dark suit. You've heard the myth.
315
00:20:06,952 --> 00:20:10,080
- Now meet the man.
- I'm quaking in my Florsheims.
316
00:20:10,189 --> 00:20:12,350
...used to kill Jacob Wood.
Celeste Wood claims
317
00:20:12,458 --> 00:20:15,859
that Vicksburg Firearms is liable
for her husband's wrongful death
318
00:20:15,961 --> 00:20:19,260
and seeks special damages
for loss of Mr. Wood's future earnings,
319
00:20:19,365 --> 00:20:22,163
as well as general damages,
including pain and suffering.
320
00:20:22,268 --> 00:20:24,759
Plaintiff has exercised
her right to a jury trial.
321
00:20:24,904 --> 00:20:27,634
Ladies and gentlemen,
we are now ready to begin the voir dire.
322
00:20:27,773 --> 00:20:29,536
(Rohr) Miss Coleman.
323
00:20:29,642 --> 00:20:31,667
- Mrs.
- Mrs. Coleman. Excuse me.
324
00:20:31,810 --> 00:20:33,209
I see from your questionnaire
325
00:20:33,312 --> 00:20:36,577
that you have no particular feeling
about guns one way or another.
326
00:20:36,682 --> 00:20:39,310
- Briefcase on the jury.
- Would you say that's correct?
327
00:20:39,418 --> 00:20:41,978
Yes, sir, that's correct.
328
00:20:42,087 --> 00:20:43,645
I don't feel one way
or another about guns,
329
00:20:43,756 --> 00:20:46,486
but I sure hate to see
people get hurt, though.
330
00:20:46,592 --> 00:20:49,527
I understand.
Do you or your husband own a gun?
331
00:20:49,628 --> 00:20:50,754
We do not.
332
00:20:50,863 --> 00:20:54,959
Ever fired a gun for sport
or in self-defense?
333
00:20:56,669 --> 00:20:59,035
Uh, look at the shoulder shrug.
Now, she's evaluating
334
00:20:59,171 --> 00:21:01,571
the person asking the question
before she ever answers.
335
00:21:01,707 --> 00:21:04,267
I mean, she's telling Rohr
exactly what he wants to hear.
336
00:21:04,410 --> 00:21:07,072
- So you think she's lying?
- Not necessarily.
337
00:21:07,179 --> 00:21:10,046
- But she knows how to.
- Rikki Coleman, 36 years of age.
338
00:21:10,149 --> 00:21:12,447
Her husband's a Baptist minister.
339
00:21:12,551 --> 00:21:16,351
She's a card-carrying member of the
Sierra Club and a registered Democrat.
340
00:21:16,455 --> 00:21:20,755
Ah, I hate Baptists almost as much as
I hate Democrats. What else you got?
341
00:21:20,859 --> 00:21:22,850
- She had an abortion two years ago.
- And, and, and?
342
00:21:22,962 --> 00:21:26,989
And the guy holding her hand
at the clinic, not the Baptist minister.
343
00:21:27,099 --> 00:21:28,862
(group) Ooh!
344
00:21:31,637 --> 00:21:34,162
Tone of voice, body language.
She's got an open mind.
345
00:21:34,306 --> 00:21:37,537
I like her. She's gonna be fair
and sympathetic to Ms. Wood.
346
00:21:37,643 --> 00:21:40,305
Mr. Rohr, do you wish to
exercise challenge for cause?
347
00:21:40,412 --> 00:21:42,039
No, Your Honor. We accept this juror.
348
00:21:42,147 --> 00:21:45,548
- Mr. Cable?
- Take her. Take her.
349
00:21:45,651 --> 00:21:48,916
- No objections here, Your Honor.
- Enter Mrs. Coleman as a juror.
350
00:21:49,021 --> 00:21:52,752
I'm co-manager of Circle Foods.
It's a local grocery chain.
351
00:21:52,858 --> 00:21:54,951
I've been living here about 14 years.
352
00:21:55,060 --> 00:21:59,326
Circle Foods.
Take him, Mr. Cable. Take him.
353
00:21:59,431 --> 00:22:03,959
- We accept this juror, Your Honor.
- Mr. Rohr?
354
00:22:07,406 --> 00:22:09,704
- No objections, Your Honor.
- Thank you.
355
00:22:09,808 --> 00:22:11,833
You may enter Mr. Shaver
as a juror. Next?
356
00:22:11,977 --> 00:22:14,537
Prison. Prison for those people
who break the law.
357
00:22:14,647 --> 00:22:16,444
Your Honor, we'll accept this juror.
358
00:22:16,548 --> 00:22:18,277
- (Fitch) She looks good.
- No objection, Your Honor.
359
00:22:18,384 --> 00:22:19,783
Enter Miss Hullic as a juror.
360
00:22:19,885 --> 00:22:21,216
It's ridiculous. They're just
floodin' the community with...
361
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,084
- No, no, no.
- Preemptory challenge, Your Honor.
362
00:22:24,189 --> 00:22:25,747
Go ahead, sir. What are your grounds?
363
00:22:25,858 --> 00:22:27,189
- (Rohr) We accept this juror.
- (Harkin) Mr. Rohr?
364
00:22:27,292 --> 00:22:28,316
- (Rohr) No objection.
- (Cable) We accept this juror.
365
00:22:28,427 --> 00:22:29,758
(Cable) Do you have a gun in your home?
366
00:22:29,862 --> 00:22:31,227
- I'm thinking about getting one.
- Thank you, Mr. Black.
367
00:22:31,330 --> 00:22:33,821
- A Mossberg Pump.
- I like him! Yes!
368
00:22:33,932 --> 00:22:35,331
(Harkin) Thank you, Mr. Cable.
369
00:22:35,434 --> 00:22:37,095
- Your Honor, we accept this juror.
- No objection.
370
00:22:37,202 --> 00:22:38,100
(Harkin)... Frank Herrera as a juror.
371
00:22:38,237 --> 00:22:40,762
- I'm an auto mechanic.
- What about gun control?
372
00:22:40,906 --> 00:22:42,498
Same way I feel about birth control, man.
373
00:22:42,641 --> 00:22:43,869
- It doesn't work.
- We accept this juror.
374
00:22:43,976 --> 00:22:46,774
- Please enter Eddie Weese as a juror.
- Yes. Yes, definitely yes.
375
00:22:46,879 --> 00:22:48,005
- Rohr?
- No challenge.
376
00:22:48,113 --> 00:22:49,273
(Cable) No, we accept this juror,
Your Honor.
377
00:22:49,381 --> 00:22:51,178
They call me Millie.
I'm an ironwork sculptress.
378
00:22:51,283 --> 00:22:52,341
- (Rohr) Accepted.
- Go ahead and take her.
379
00:22:52,451 --> 00:22:53,577
...Deshazo as a juror.
380
00:22:53,686 --> 00:22:55,620
- (Cable) We accept.
...Ms. Deets as a juror.
381
00:22:55,721 --> 00:22:58,952
- We accept this juror.
- Having an AK-47 overstates the case.
382
00:22:59,058 --> 00:23:00,889
- I want her. Yes, I want her.
- No objection, Your Honor.
383
00:23:00,993 --> 00:23:02,483
...Vanessa Lembeck as a juror.
- Mr. Cable?
384
00:23:02,594 --> 00:23:04,186
- No challenge.
- No, let's challenge.
385
00:23:04,296 --> 00:23:05,661
(Cable) Preemptory challenge, Your
Honor.
386
00:23:05,764 --> 00:23:07,857
Nine-millimeter.
It was more of a man's kind of gun.
387
00:23:07,966 --> 00:23:10,298
...Jerry Fernandez as a juror.
- We talked about this.
388
00:23:10,402 --> 00:23:12,768
- I like him a lot. We know about her...
- I don't carry a gun.
389
00:23:12,905 --> 00:23:14,668
Your Honor, we accept...
390
00:23:14,807 --> 00:23:17,105
- Let's not do down this road.
- Thank you, Mr. Rohr.
391
00:23:17,209 --> 00:23:20,770
(Cable) Well, thank you all
for being here. Thank you.
392
00:23:20,879 --> 00:23:23,575
- Mr. Docken?
- Yes, sir.
393
00:23:23,682 --> 00:23:26,014
- How do you do?
- Fine, thank you.
394
00:23:26,118 --> 00:23:31,681
How do you feel about being a juror in
this trial? Do you feel you could be fair...
395
00:23:31,790 --> 00:23:33,883
Look at the way he's hunched over
and his fingers are interlaced.
396
00:23:33,992 --> 00:23:35,983
I mean, he's trying too hard
not to be too obvious.
397
00:23:36,095 --> 00:23:39,360
Yeah, but he's definitely
on our side of the fence.
398
00:23:39,465 --> 00:23:42,298
It's a veneer. He's campaigning.
He wants on. Bounce him, Cable.
399
00:23:42,401 --> 00:23:43,925
- Go ahead and bounce him.
- We're almost out of challenges.
400
00:23:44,069 --> 00:23:46,537
I don't care! Bounce him!
Bounce him, Cable! Bounce him!
401
00:23:48,107 --> 00:23:50,007
Preemptory challenge, Your Honor.
402
00:23:50,109 --> 00:23:52,077
- Hold on. Hear me out.
- (Harkin) Thank you, Mr. Docken.
403
00:23:52,211 --> 00:23:53,906
- You're excused.
- No, I wanna be heard!
404
00:23:54,012 --> 00:23:55,707
- Mr. Docken, you may be excused.
- I wanna be heard!
405
00:23:55,814 --> 00:23:57,441
Bailiff!
406
00:23:57,549 --> 00:23:59,244
- I wanna be heard!
- Get that man out of the courtroom.
407
00:23:59,351 --> 00:24:02,343
This is the blood of innocent children
gunned down by greedy corporations!
408
00:24:02,454 --> 00:24:04,615
Get this self-righteous lunkhead
outta here!
409
00:24:04,723 --> 00:24:08,454
- You son of a bitch!
- Help him! Help him!
410
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,961
Come on! Help this man!
Help this man! Get him out of here!
411
00:24:12,064 --> 00:24:14,225
- Let me go!
- (Harkin) It's not a show in here.
412
00:24:14,333 --> 00:24:15,698
- How does it feel?
- Get him outta here!
413
00:24:15,801 --> 00:24:18,201
Our nation's trying to kill itself,
and you wanna give it
414
00:24:18,337 --> 00:24:22,000
the weapons to do it!
You son of a bitch! Let me go!
415
00:24:22,141 --> 00:24:26,578
Let me go! Let me go! Greedy bastards!
416
00:24:34,586 --> 00:24:37,578
- I guess that's lunch.
- (gavel)
417
00:24:37,689 --> 00:24:41,785
Somebody add "class clown"
to Mr. Easter's ever-expanding r�sum�.
418
00:24:41,894 --> 00:24:45,261
Court's adjourned. Voir dire
will resume tomorrow at 9:00am.
419
00:24:45,364 --> 00:24:47,798
Attorneys, both of you,
see me in my chambers right now.
420
00:24:47,900 --> 00:24:48,867
Good call.
421
00:24:58,243 --> 00:25:00,905
(man) There are some things,
however, that seem to live eternal.
422
00:25:01,013 --> 00:25:04,039
That's a tendency to
always come back, asking for more.
423
00:25:04,149 --> 00:25:07,209
A total of 12 million more.
424
00:25:07,319 --> 00:25:11,688
Now, each of our gun companies
has already ponied up $4 million
425
00:25:11,790 --> 00:25:14,884
into this Sportsman's Legacy Fund.
426
00:25:14,993 --> 00:25:18,520
Now, that may not seem like a hell of a lot
of money where you come from,
427
00:25:18,630 --> 00:25:22,566
but we think $20 million
ought to be enough to secure
428
00:25:22,668 --> 00:25:27,105
a jury in the People's Republic
of Berkeley, California, let alone here.
429
00:25:29,875 --> 00:25:35,370
- How about 30,000?
- 30,000? What are you talking about?
430
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:41,282
It's an interesting amount to reflect on.
The number of gun deaths every year.
431
00:25:41,386 --> 00:25:44,685
Or the number of men, women
and children who are disabled
432
00:25:44,790 --> 00:25:49,818
by your gentlemen's products
last year alone: 100,000.
433
00:25:49,928 --> 00:25:56,299
Or we could focus... on the number one.
434
00:25:58,203 --> 00:26:03,641
Because one is all they want.
One win, one precedent.
435
00:26:03,775 --> 00:26:07,302
Because once they get that, they're
gonna be traveling around this country,
436
00:26:07,412 --> 00:26:10,438
filing civil actions and siphoning away
437
00:26:10,549 --> 00:26:17,284
at that $2 billion that you gentlemen sell
in firearms and ammo every fiscal year.
438
00:26:17,389 --> 00:26:20,756
$2 billion. Whoo!
439
00:26:20,859 --> 00:26:23,350
Where I come from, that's a lot of money.
440
00:26:23,462 --> 00:26:26,329
What I'm asking for is a pittance
441
00:26:26,431 --> 00:26:29,161
compared to what
a negative verdict is gonna cost you.
442
00:26:29,268 --> 00:26:33,204
Our share price is down 25%
just on word of this trial.
443
00:26:33,305 --> 00:26:35,330
I'm down almost 30.
444
00:26:35,474 --> 00:26:39,501
I'll kick in an extra 1.5, but no m�s.
445
00:26:42,247 --> 00:26:46,183
- 1.5 each. That's 7.5 total.
- Well, I'll take it.
446
00:26:46,285 --> 00:26:48,879
Do you have any additional plans
for this pittance?
447
00:26:48,987 --> 00:26:51,956
- Matter of fact, I do.
- Lonnie Shaver. Manager here?
448
00:26:52,057 --> 00:26:54,082
- All day.
- Ernie Strode.
449
00:26:54,192 --> 00:26:56,422
I'm gonna put you gentlemen
in the grocery business.
450
00:26:56,528 --> 00:26:57,552
Grocery business?
451
00:26:57,663 --> 00:26:59,426
We're in the process of
acquiring your store.
452
00:26:59,531 --> 00:27:01,089
...meeting with all the store managers
453
00:27:01,199 --> 00:27:03,326
to discuss their future roles
in the organization...
454
00:27:03,435 --> 00:27:05,460
(Fitch) Poor bastard
hadn't had a promotion in five years.
455
00:27:05,604 --> 00:27:07,037
Not all employees
are gonna make the transition.
456
00:27:07,139 --> 00:27:08,606
We've identified you
as one of our candidates
457
00:27:08,707 --> 00:27:11,107
for the Superhouse program.
How soon can we fly you up?
458
00:27:11,209 --> 00:27:15,407
Mr. Shaver, in subtle and unspoken
ways, will be made to appreciate
459
00:27:15,514 --> 00:27:18,711
the terms of advancement
in the Hammond Foods empire.
460
00:27:18,817 --> 00:27:22,150
- I don't like the looks of this one.
- Ex-Marine drill instructor.
461
00:27:22,254 --> 00:27:25,883
These people are looking for a leader.
They'll follow Frank Herrera.
462
00:27:25,991 --> 00:27:27,424
And if they elect someone else foreman?
463
00:27:27,526 --> 00:27:30,495
Whoever they vote for will be following me.
464
00:27:30,595 --> 00:27:33,689
Just like in Cincinnati
and Oakland and Pittsburgh.
465
00:27:33,799 --> 00:27:40,398
Gentlemen, trials are too important
to be left up to juries.
466
00:27:40,539 --> 00:27:42,507
(laughter)
467
00:27:43,542 --> 00:27:46,705
(bailiff) God save this state
and this honorable court.
468
00:27:46,812 --> 00:27:48,871
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
You may take your seats.
469
00:27:48,981 --> 00:27:51,074
- Who's next?
- Herman Grimes.
470
00:27:51,183 --> 00:27:52,707
Who? Who'd did he say?
471
00:27:52,818 --> 00:27:53,910
(Harkin) Is there a Herman Grimes
in the court?
472
00:27:54,019 --> 00:27:55,816
Mr. Grimes is not on my list.
473
00:28:00,459 --> 00:28:05,192
There's a swinging door
ahead of you, honey. You got it?
474
00:28:05,297 --> 00:28:08,755
45 degrees to your left,
then 20 degrees to your right.
475
00:28:08,867 --> 00:28:10,698
Uh, hold on a minute there, Mr. Grimes.
476
00:28:10,802 --> 00:28:13,168
There's no need for you
to have come down here today.
477
00:28:13,305 --> 00:28:15,205
You're excused for reasons of disability.
478
00:28:15,307 --> 00:28:16,831
And what if I do not
wish to be excused, sir?
479
00:28:16,975 --> 00:28:20,968
Well... I've never known
a blind man to serve on a jury,
480
00:28:21,113 --> 00:28:23,809
and I must say,
I can't recall any case or law
481
00:28:23,915 --> 00:28:25,314
or statute that would permit or prevent...
482
00:28:25,417 --> 00:28:29,080
State v. Jack, Your Honor.
The Louisiana Supreme Court has held
483
00:28:29,187 --> 00:28:32,486
that it is a violation of
constitutional due process
484
00:28:32,591 --> 00:28:34,923
to just automatically dismiss
the visually impaired...
485
00:28:35,027 --> 00:28:36,654
- He's right.
...from jury service.
486
00:28:36,762 --> 00:28:38,889
Well, Mr. Grimes, that's very impressive.
487
00:28:38,997 --> 00:28:42,433
- Why are you smiling, sir?
- (laughter)
488
00:28:42,534 --> 00:28:46,493
Mr. Rohr, Mr. Cable, any objections
to Mr. Grimes serving on this jury?
489
00:28:46,605 --> 00:28:50,041
The plaintiffs would welcome
Mr. Grimes to our jury, Your Honor.
490
00:28:50,142 --> 00:28:52,804
- "Our jury."
- (Harkin) Mr. Cable?
491
00:28:52,911 --> 00:28:54,378
As would we on the defense, Your Honor.
492
00:28:54,513 --> 00:28:55,714
- Who's next?
- (bailiff) Nicholas Easter.
493
00:28:55,714 --> 00:28:56,976
- Who's next?
- (bailiff) Nicholas Easter.
494
00:28:57,082 --> 00:28:58,845
(Harkin) Mr. Easter?
495
00:29:00,285 --> 00:29:03,584
- Mr. Rohr.
- Your Honor.
496
00:29:03,688 --> 00:29:05,553
- Good morning, Mr. Easter.
- Good morning.
497
00:29:05,657 --> 00:29:08,990
Well, it says here that you work
in an electronics store.
498
00:29:09,094 --> 00:29:10,322
Yes, sir, that's correct.
499
00:29:10,429 --> 00:29:11,794
How would you feel
if you knew there was a gun
500
00:29:11,897 --> 00:29:13,626
behind the counter in case of a robbery?
501
00:29:13,732 --> 00:29:16,462
- Well, we're in the mall, sir.
- But I think you'd agree
502
00:29:16,568 --> 00:29:19,298
that robberies take place
in malls on occasion, do they not?
503
00:29:19,438 --> 00:29:21,099
Yes, but we're in the Esplanade Mall,
504
00:29:21,239 --> 00:29:24,208
which is right across the street from
the sheriff's office in Jefferson Parish.
505
00:29:24,309 --> 00:29:25,970
Yes, I'm familiar where it is.
506
00:29:26,078 --> 00:29:29,479
Well, I mean, you'd have to be on crack
to try to rob it. I guess that's my point.
507
00:29:29,581 --> 00:29:32,675
I see. Well, tell me...
508
00:29:32,784 --> 00:29:34,149
Mr. Easter, that's the second time
you've looked at your watch.
509
00:29:34,252 --> 00:29:35,844
Are we keeping you from something?
510
00:29:35,954 --> 00:29:37,945
No, Your Honor.
I wouldn't presume to waste your time.
511
00:29:38,056 --> 00:29:40,251
I just... I think if you knew my situation,
512
00:29:40,358 --> 00:29:42,223
you might be inclined to excuse me from...
513
00:29:42,327 --> 00:29:45,023
- Your situation, Mr. Easter?
- Yes, Your Honor.
514
00:29:47,632 --> 00:29:50,032
- It's the Madden Challenge.
- The Madden what?
515
00:29:50,135 --> 00:29:53,468
You know, "Madden Football."
It's a video game.
516
00:29:53,605 --> 00:29:56,506
Well, you'd be surprised at
how many people play. At any rate,
517
00:29:56,608 --> 00:29:59,441
every year, they choose the best
15 players from across the country
518
00:29:59,544 --> 00:30:00,841
to compete in a kind of
tournament, you know,
519
00:30:00,946 --> 00:30:03,648
- against NFL players and celebrities...
- I'm not following you.
520
00:30:03,648 --> 00:30:04,012
- against NFL players and celebrities...
- I'm not following you.
521
00:30:04,116 --> 00:30:07,517
It's like this, Your Honor: The prize
is $100,000. So I just don't know
522
00:30:07,619 --> 00:30:11,111
if I can afford to pass up the opportunity
to make that kind of cash. It's a big deal.
523
00:30:11,223 --> 00:30:13,123
I'd like this boy to have
a lesson in civic responsibility.
524
00:30:13,225 --> 00:30:14,522
Do you have any objection
to that, Mr. Rohr?
525
00:30:14,626 --> 00:30:15,957
Your Honor, it's something
I've been doing for a very long time.
526
00:30:16,061 --> 00:30:18,086
The jury system
was originated, Mr. Easter,
527
00:30:18,196 --> 00:30:20,630
because, for thousands of years
before that, an individual judge
528
00:30:20,732 --> 00:30:25,431
had the power to hang, for example,
any young man he simply did not like.
529
00:30:27,072 --> 00:30:29,597
- Yes, Your Honor.
- Any objections, Mr. Rohr?
530
00:30:29,741 --> 00:30:32,141
I have no objection whatsoever,
Your Honor.
531
00:30:32,244 --> 00:30:33,609
- Mr. Cable?
- What do I do?
532
00:30:33,712 --> 00:30:36,306
- Any time today, counselor.
- Harkin sandbagged us.
533
00:30:36,414 --> 00:30:40,851
- Go ahead and take him. Take him.
- Uh, no objections, Your Honor.
534
00:30:40,952 --> 00:30:43,750
- Enter Mr. Nicholas Easter as a juror.
- Freeze that right there, will ya?
535
00:30:43,855 --> 00:30:45,948
Freeze it.
536
00:31:05,877 --> 00:31:09,244
(Fitch) 30 years in the trenches
have taught me this:
537
00:31:09,347 --> 00:31:11,611
There's always a loose end.
538
00:31:11,716 --> 00:31:16,278
Everybody has a secret
they don't want you to find. Find it.
539
00:31:16,388 --> 00:31:20,620
First group, Ms. Monroe: Rikki Coleman,
Sylvia Deshazo, Vanessa Lembeck.
540
00:31:20,725 --> 00:31:25,526
Mr. Klein: Herman Grimes,
Millie Dupree, Eddie Weese.
541
00:31:25,630 --> 00:31:30,294
Mr. Garson: Loreen Duke,
Lonnie Shaver, Frank Herrera.
542
00:31:30,402 --> 00:31:34,338
Mr. Lamb: the three alternates.
Lydia Deets, yoga teacher,
543
00:31:34,439 --> 00:31:37,670
Phillip Seville, shrimp fisherman.
Henry Wu.
544
00:31:37,776 --> 00:31:39,141
Let's find out everything we don't know.
545
00:31:39,244 --> 00:31:41,474
Mr. Doyle, you know the city
better than anyone.
546
00:31:41,580 --> 00:31:44,811
You take Jerry Fernandez,
Stella Hullic, Nicholas Easter.
547
00:31:44,916 --> 00:31:49,353
These are your babies, people.
This is what you live for.
548
00:32:25,023 --> 00:32:26,991
I think you got the wrong apartment.
549
00:32:31,062 --> 00:32:34,657
What are you gonna do?
Call the cops? Hm?
550
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,698
- You weren't there today.
- I couldn't. I was too nervous.
551
00:32:45,844 --> 00:32:48,312
What are you gonna do?
You gonna hit me in the head with my...
552
00:32:48,446 --> 00:32:51,506
my George Foster big stick?
553
00:32:51,616 --> 00:32:54,244
What are you nervous about, huh?
554
00:32:54,352 --> 00:32:57,753
You are not juror number nine
in the biggest case of the year.
555
00:32:57,856 --> 00:33:00,154
You're kidding. You're kidding me!
556
00:33:00,258 --> 00:33:03,989
- You're kidding me!
- No, I'm not kidding you.
557
00:33:04,095 --> 00:33:06,563
- How'd you do it?
- Let go of that thing.
558
00:33:06,665 --> 00:33:09,566
- How'd you do it?
- Madden Challenge.
559
00:33:09,668 --> 00:33:13,798
It was a thing of beauty.
The judge even threatened to hang me.
560
00:33:15,874 --> 00:33:18,240
- Juror number nine.
- Juror number nine.
561
00:33:18,343 --> 00:33:22,211
(squeals) What do you have for me?
562
00:33:27,552 --> 00:33:29,884
(kisses) I love St. Catherine.
563
00:33:29,988 --> 00:33:32,286
(soft rock)
564
00:34:12,764 --> 00:34:17,463
- How do I look?
- Handsome.
565
00:34:17,569 --> 00:34:21,869
- Do I look honest and trustworthy?
- Hm... To an innocent eye.
566
00:34:22,006 --> 00:34:24,133
Good enough to survive
10 to 15 in the state pen?
567
00:34:24,275 --> 00:34:26,436
Don't say that. It's bad luck.
568
00:34:26,544 --> 00:34:30,105
Look... We're not gonna be
seeing each other for a while.
569
00:34:30,215 --> 00:34:33,548
They're gonna be watching us.
You have to come back to bed. Now.
570
00:34:33,651 --> 00:34:37,109
We're just gonna have to
be more careful then, aren't we?
571
00:34:42,026 --> 00:34:46,292
- How much do you think it's worth?
- 10, 15 million. Maybe more.
572
00:34:46,398 --> 00:34:48,298
Look, that's enough. Come back to bed.
573
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,062
We only need eight of them for a verdict.
574
00:34:51,169 --> 00:34:54,195
Everybody's got a button.
We just gotta find out where and push.
575
00:34:54,339 --> 00:34:56,569
You have them.
576
00:34:56,708 --> 00:34:59,700
We don't have anything yet.
577
00:35:26,204 --> 00:35:29,139
...Celeste Wood.
You'll recall that two years ago,
578
00:35:29,240 --> 00:35:32,732
Wood's stockbroker husband Jacob
was gunned down in a mass slaying
579
00:35:32,877 --> 00:35:35,004
inside the brokerage firm
where he worked.
580
00:35:35,113 --> 00:35:40,016
...two years ago by a failed day-trader
who later turned the gun on himself.
581
00:35:40,118 --> 00:35:45,454
Never before has a jury found
the gun industry liable for murder.
582
00:35:45,557 --> 00:35:48,117
You might remember also
the former mayor of the city...
583
00:35:48,226 --> 00:35:50,353
...after her husband was gunned down
in the prime of his life.
584
00:35:50,462 --> 00:35:53,260
The man leading this: famed
New Orleans attorney Wendall Rohr...
585
00:35:53,364 --> 00:35:56,731
Mr. Cable, do you feel
that this lawsuit is frivolous?
586
00:35:56,835 --> 00:36:00,464
Uh, it's capricious. I find
it's unfortunate that Mr. Rohr has chosen
587
00:36:00,605 --> 00:36:02,766
to use Miss Wood
and the courts as vehicles...
588
00:36:02,907 --> 00:36:04,875
Mr. Rohr, how do you
expect to win this case?
589
00:36:05,009 --> 00:36:06,101
It's very simple.
590
00:36:06,244 --> 00:36:09,213
Reckless, profit-hungry gun companies
like Vicksburg
591
00:36:09,347 --> 00:36:13,306
have been getting away
with murder for too long, and we have...
592
00:36:29,300 --> 00:36:31,234
(man) I'm losing a lot of money
on this jury thing.
593
00:36:31,336 --> 00:36:33,600
(man #2) Oh, really?
594
00:36:33,738 --> 00:36:34,898
- (man #3) What?
- (man #4) 16.
595
00:36:35,039 --> 00:36:36,267
- (man #3) 16?
- (man #4) Yeah.
596
00:36:36,407 --> 00:36:39,934
(man #3) No way. $16 a day?
What is this, 1892?
597
00:36:40,078 --> 00:36:42,342
Well, you're not supposed to
do it for the pay, darling.
598
00:36:42,447 --> 00:36:43,846
You're supposed to do it out of civic duty.
599
00:36:43,948 --> 00:36:47,076
- Nice to meet you. Frank Herrera.
- Henry Wu. I became a citizen...
600
00:36:47,185 --> 00:36:50,677
(woman) Well, he deserves it.
He's the president of the free world.
601
00:36:50,788 --> 00:36:54,121
There's coffee and donuts over there.
Now, these muffins, I made 'em myself.
602
00:36:54,225 --> 00:36:56,887
A treat for the first day.
603
00:36:58,263 --> 00:37:00,493
These look like they are a treat.
604
00:37:04,802 --> 00:37:08,260
OK. Morning.
605
00:37:08,373 --> 00:37:12,537
Well, everyone's here.
All accounted for? Good.
606
00:37:12,644 --> 00:37:15,943
I think we should elect a jury foreman,
like Judge Harkin instructed us.
607
00:37:16,047 --> 00:37:17,674
And who would that be, Mr. Man?
608
00:37:17,782 --> 00:37:21,684
Well, if no one else feels strongly about it,
I'd like to throw my hat in the ring.
609
00:37:21,786 --> 00:37:24,311
Uh-uh, excuse me...
610
00:37:24,422 --> 00:37:26,322
- Mister...
- Herrera, ma'am. Frank Herrera.
611
00:37:26,424 --> 00:37:29,450
Mr. Herrera. Out of all of us,
612
00:37:29,561 --> 00:37:32,530
what makes you think
you're the best person for the job?
613
00:37:32,630 --> 00:37:35,758
- Well, Miss...
- Mrs. Loreen Duke.
614
00:37:35,867 --> 00:37:37,300
- Mrs. Duke.
- Mm-hm.
615
00:37:37,402 --> 00:37:39,393
I was a master sergeant
in the Marine Corps.
616
00:37:39,537 --> 00:37:41,971
I served my country
in Panama, Grenada, Beirut.
617
00:37:42,073 --> 00:37:43,938
- You name it, I was there.
- I can run a 6-minute mile.
618
00:37:44,042 --> 00:37:45,009
Young lady...
619
00:37:45,109 --> 00:37:47,600
Well, if nobody minds, I'd also
like to be considered for foreman.
620
00:37:47,745 --> 00:37:51,078
I mean, I might not have
served in Grenada or Panama,
621
00:37:51,182 --> 00:37:53,150
but I'm the mother of two small children...
622
00:37:53,251 --> 00:37:56,049
In that case, y'all ought to consider me.
Hell, I got three kids.
623
00:37:56,154 --> 00:37:59,555
Ladies and gentlemen, with all due
respect,
624
00:37:59,657 --> 00:38:01,454
I think I know who would
make an excellent foreman.
625
00:38:01,559 --> 00:38:05,188
- Oh, and who might that be, Mister...
- Easter. Nicholas Easter, sir.
626
00:38:05,296 --> 00:38:07,821
I was watching a lot of people very closely
627
00:38:07,932 --> 00:38:11,834
during the jury selection, and only
this man... I don't know your name, sir.
628
00:38:11,970 --> 00:38:14,097
- What is your name?
- Herman Grimes.
629
00:38:14,238 --> 00:38:16,502
- Only Mr. Grimes...
- No, just Herman.
630
00:38:16,608 --> 00:38:18,633
Only Herman had the guts
to stand up to the judge,
631
00:38:18,776 --> 00:38:22,143
and only Herman seems to
know a little something about the law.
632
00:38:22,246 --> 00:38:26,512
So, in my book, you know, I think it'd be
a good idea for him to represent us.
633
00:38:26,618 --> 00:38:28,415
- But...
- But he's blind, man. So what?
634
00:38:28,519 --> 00:38:32,080
- So is justice, right?
- (man) That's right, brother.
635
00:38:32,190 --> 00:38:33,657
What do you think, Herman?
Are you up to it?
636
00:38:33,758 --> 00:38:37,194
- Well, of course I am.
- All in favor of Herman.
637
00:38:46,638 --> 00:38:50,096
- Did I get any votes?
- Hey, it's unanimous. You're in.
638
00:38:50,241 --> 00:38:53,404
- (man) Congratulations.
- All right, listen up.
639
00:38:53,511 --> 00:38:55,877
Court's in session. Lunch is set for 1:00.
640
00:38:55,980 --> 00:38:59,143
We order out from Verdi's Mart.
Please fill out a menu.
641
00:38:59,250 --> 00:39:01,980
Make sure you circle what you want, now.
642
00:39:02,086 --> 00:39:04,850
Don't make it too expensive. Thank you.
643
00:39:04,956 --> 00:39:08,050
Oh, I had this last week.
It's really good. Thank you.
644
00:39:08,159 --> 00:39:09,888
- (man) Think I'm gonna have salmon.
- (woman) Nothing on that menu.
645
00:39:09,994 --> 00:39:12,258
(bailiff) All right, all right. Thank you.
646
00:39:17,168 --> 00:39:17,435
(Rohr) October, two years ago,
at 8:45 am on a Monday morning,
647
00:39:17,435 --> 00:39:22,395
(Rohr) October, two years ago,
at 8:45 am on a Monday morning,
648
00:39:22,507 --> 00:39:25,442
a man by the name of Kevin Peltier
casually walks though
649
00:39:25,543 --> 00:39:28,842
the brokerage house from which
he was fired the previous Friday morning.
650
00:39:28,946 --> 00:39:32,382
He walks into the elevator.
He loads a 36-round magazine
651
00:39:32,483 --> 00:39:37,113
into his Performa 990 semiautomatic,
and when he reaches the third floor,
652
00:39:37,221 --> 00:39:41,385
he opens fire on his former coworkers,
killing 11 and critically wounding five
653
00:39:41,492 --> 00:39:46,828
before turning the gun on himself.
Now, they never had a chance.
654
00:39:46,931 --> 00:39:49,866
This was all less than two minutes.
They couldn't stop him.
655
00:39:49,967 --> 00:39:54,700
11 lives ended.
That's all you jurors, minus one.
656
00:39:54,839 --> 00:39:56,932
And among them was Jacob Wood,
657
00:39:57,075 --> 00:39:59,043
the husband of my client, Celeste Wood,
658
00:39:59,143 --> 00:40:03,807
and the father of their son Henry,
six years old.
659
00:40:03,915 --> 00:40:08,648
I don't know about you, but I'm angry
at the tragic and senseless loss of life.
660
00:40:08,753 --> 00:40:12,484
Why does the Vicksburg Firearms
company make it so easy
661
00:40:12,590 --> 00:40:15,582
to buy these guns
on the underground market?
662
00:40:15,693 --> 00:40:19,424
Because they care more about
making money than they do about your life
663
00:40:19,530 --> 00:40:24,194
or my life or the life
of that woman's husband.
664
00:40:26,337 --> 00:40:29,067
A very courageous former
executive of Vicksburg Firearms
665
00:40:29,207 --> 00:40:31,437
is gonna come in here,
and he's gonna testify
666
00:40:31,542 --> 00:40:37,548
that this Performa 990 semiautomatic
was manufactured for, principally,
667
00:40:37,548 --> 00:40:41,917
criminals,
all those others poised for violence.
668
00:40:44,155 --> 00:40:47,716
Excuse me. Would you please
give these to Mr. Rohr and Mr. Cable?
669
00:40:47,825 --> 00:40:50,191
...into a very efficient mass murderer.
670
00:40:55,867 --> 00:40:59,564
Yes, it was Mr. Peltier that squeezed
the trigger that awful Monday morning.
671
00:40:59,704 --> 00:41:02,070
But it was
the Vicksburg Firearms company,
672
00:41:02,173 --> 00:41:05,108
through a deliberate
and negligent distribution policy,
673
00:41:05,209 --> 00:41:10,044
that put that assault-type weapon
into the hands of Mr. Peltier.
674
00:41:10,148 --> 00:41:14,209
As such, they were
complicit in those murders.
675
00:41:14,318 --> 00:41:17,219
And this I'll prove to you
during the course of the trial.
676
00:41:17,321 --> 00:41:19,846
Thank you very much. Your Honor.
677
00:41:23,828 --> 00:41:29,027
- (Harkin) Mr. Cable.
- Thank you, Your Honor.
678
00:41:29,133 --> 00:41:31,431
- I feel so nervous.
- You'll be fine.
679
00:41:31,536 --> 00:41:34,630
That was quite provocative.
680
00:41:34,772 --> 00:41:38,208
Now, I wanna tell you
two things about guns today.
681
00:41:38,342 --> 00:41:41,505
I don't think either of them
will be news to you,
682
00:41:41,612 --> 00:41:45,708
but the first is guns are dangerous.
They're guns. This is their function.
683
00:41:45,817 --> 00:41:48,445
And I wanna tell you today
that no one is more aware of that
684
00:41:48,553 --> 00:41:50,919
or takes more responsibility for it
than the gun industry,
685
00:41:51,022 --> 00:41:53,957
especially Vicksburg Firearms,
686
00:41:54,058 --> 00:41:57,027
as a company that's been in business
since before the Civil War.
687
00:41:57,128 --> 00:41:59,756
Now, the automobile industry
works every day
688
00:41:59,864 --> 00:42:02,059
to ensure that their cars are safe.
689
00:42:02,166 --> 00:42:05,067
Why? Because they drive them.
690
00:42:05,169 --> 00:42:07,330
Now, the people at Vicksburg
work every day
691
00:42:07,471 --> 00:42:10,031
to keep the guns
out of the hands of the criminals.
692
00:42:10,174 --> 00:42:12,506
Why? Because they have
families with children...
693
00:42:12,610 --> 00:42:14,510
Did you see who handed this to you?
694
00:42:14,612 --> 00:42:17,137
Well, it was a woman. She had blond hair.
695
00:42:17,248 --> 00:42:20,183
She had pretty blond hair,
just like that woman on television.
696
00:42:20,284 --> 00:42:23,685
We didn't catch her on any of the CCTVs.
697
00:42:23,788 --> 00:42:25,813
Doesn't matter. I'm sure she was wigged.
698
00:42:25,923 --> 00:42:29,859
I doubt you'll find any, but have this
sprayed for prints. Anything turns up...
699
00:42:29,961 --> 00:42:32,555
I'll process it through the Printak database.
700
00:42:32,697 --> 00:42:37,191
- (Cable) We're not here to legislate.
- Mr. Cable is winding up.
701
00:42:37,301 --> 00:42:40,293
Well, ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
702
00:42:40,438 --> 00:42:45,307
amidst all the finger-pointing,
Mr. Rohr did say one true thing:
703
00:42:45,409 --> 00:42:48,139
This case is about money.
704
00:42:50,715 --> 00:42:55,516
You know, it looks like Judge Harkin
won't be breaking till after two.
705
00:42:55,653 --> 00:42:59,589
Would you mind holding his jury's
lunch order till then? Thank you.
706
00:43:10,968 --> 00:43:15,996
What do you think about her? I hear
she teaches a class over at Tulane.
707
00:43:16,107 --> 00:43:18,075
- Yeah?
- Wouldn't mind takin' that class.
708
00:43:18,175 --> 00:43:21,076
- What subject?
- Yeah, well, she's a tall glass of iced tea.
709
00:43:21,178 --> 00:43:24,147
A little too much lemon,
a little too much ice.
710
00:43:26,717 --> 00:43:27,809
Um, I'm sorry,
711
00:43:27,952 --> 00:43:31,319
but would you mind not doing that
in here? I'm predisposed to asthma.
712
00:43:31,422 --> 00:43:33,822
Come on, I'll open the window.
It ain't gonna bother you.
713
00:43:33,925 --> 00:43:37,088
Actually, I mind, too.
Sorry. Secondhand smoke.
714
00:43:37,194 --> 00:43:39,822
I gotta tell you, Mr. Shaver, I don't
wanna smoke your cigarettes, either.
715
00:43:39,931 --> 00:43:43,594
Damn. I can't smoke, can't leave
the room. What is this, California?
716
00:43:43,701 --> 00:43:46,135
- It is against the rules.
- Aw, man, be quiet.
717
00:43:46,237 --> 00:43:47,499
You're just an alternate, man.
718
00:43:47,605 --> 00:43:49,129
What does that have to do with anything?
719
00:43:49,240 --> 00:43:51,265
(overlapping arguing)
720
00:43:51,375 --> 00:43:54,970
(Herman) Come on, come on.
We're gonna be here for a while together.
721
00:43:55,079 --> 00:43:57,912
(Lonnie) So why are you bothering me?
722
00:44:00,685 --> 00:44:02,949
You know that I think?
I think we're all just really hungry.
723
00:44:03,087 --> 00:44:05,578
And where's our lunch
they promised us? It's 1:30.
724
00:44:05,723 --> 00:44:09,489
That's why I wanna smoke.
I'm starving. Tamp down my appetite.
725
00:44:09,593 --> 00:44:11,652
Herman, you want me to go
check out what's going on with lunch?
726
00:44:11,762 --> 00:44:13,286
Good idea, Nick. Go see what's taking 'em.
727
00:44:22,974 --> 00:44:24,464
(Harkin) So they go over there
and he sees a cow
728
00:44:24,575 --> 00:44:26,543
and he sees a golf ball
up in that cow's ass.
729
00:44:26,644 --> 00:44:29,272
And he says - well, this is delicate -
"Excuse me, ma'am."
730
00:44:29,380 --> 00:44:31,746
And he raises that cow's tail and says,
"Does this look like yours?"
731
00:44:31,849 --> 00:44:34,181
And she hit him with a four-iron!
732
00:44:34,318 --> 00:44:36,377
- Excuse me, Judge.
- Huh?
733
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,819
- There's someone to see you.
- All right, all right.
734
00:44:39,924 --> 00:44:41,892
Excuse me, gentlemen.
735
00:44:45,997 --> 00:44:47,965
- You are...?
- Nick Easter, juror number nine.
736
00:44:48,065 --> 00:44:51,057
Yes. Now, what do you think
you're doing outside of that jury room,
737
00:44:51,168 --> 00:44:53,398
Mr. Easter-juror-number nine?
And where's Lou Dell?
738
00:44:53,504 --> 00:44:56,200
- She's chattin' it up in the hallway, sir.
- Well, Mr. Easter,
739
00:44:56,307 --> 00:44:59,140
I would strongly advise you to return
to that jury room and finish your lunch.
740
00:44:59,243 --> 00:45:02,701
That's the problem, sir.
I think somebody forgot to order our lunch.
741
00:45:02,813 --> 00:45:05,179
- The jury has no lunch?
- That's why I'm here, sir.
742
00:45:05,282 --> 00:45:06,806
Everybody knows you here in the parish.
743
00:45:06,917 --> 00:45:08,976
They know you like to
keep a tight schedule on your bench.
744
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,088
If we're gonna be back
in less than 45 minutes...
745
00:45:11,222 --> 00:45:13,053
I gotta be honest with you, sir.
We're hungry.
746
00:45:13,157 --> 00:45:16,149
Well, what exactly,
Mr. Easter, would you like me to do?
747
00:45:16,293 --> 00:45:18,261
(Jerry) Hey, Lonnie, Lonnie!
Could you pass me some garlic bread?
748
00:45:18,396 --> 00:45:22,526
- You got any over there?
- Oh, absolutely, man. Stuff is delicious.
749
00:45:23,634 --> 00:45:25,898
(upbeat soul)
750
00:45:31,008 --> 00:45:35,240
I'm not sure, but I believe
I'm buying lunch for this jury.
751
00:45:48,893 --> 00:45:50,986
Jury's right there.
752
00:45:57,334 --> 00:46:00,326
Well, in 35 years, that is
the most absurd thing I've ever seen.
753
00:46:00,438 --> 00:46:03,032
- You got a little mustard on your tie.
- I did it on purpose.
754
00:46:03,140 --> 00:46:08,544
First day of the trial, judge is having lunch
with the jury. What's that about?
755
00:46:08,646 --> 00:46:10,705
- Look at that.
- What?
756
00:46:23,527 --> 00:46:26,087
- Let's go.
- (glasses clinking)
757
00:46:26,197 --> 00:46:28,290
- Hey, hey, hey! To Nick!
- (woman) To Nick!
758
00:46:28,399 --> 00:46:30,924
- This is horseshit.
- It wasn't me.
759
00:46:31,035 --> 00:46:35,267
It wasn't me. It was Judge Harkin.
Judge Harkin!
760
00:46:37,074 --> 00:46:40,202
OK, that's enough.
Thank you very much. All right.
761
00:46:45,182 --> 00:46:49,141
- Here's the deposition you needed.
- Thank you, thank you.
762
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,385
(clears throat)
763
00:46:58,496 --> 00:47:00,691
We gonna talk about this?
764
00:47:00,798 --> 00:47:03,358
I cannot believe you had the nerve
to bring that in this office.
765
00:47:03,467 --> 00:47:06,061
- I think we ought to discuss it at least.
- Well, a better idea:
766
00:47:06,170 --> 00:47:09,628
- Why don't you just give it to the judge?
- 'Cause they'd throw the case out.
767
00:47:09,740 --> 00:47:12,709
Let me explain something to you.
That's a defense tactic, OK?
768
00:47:12,810 --> 00:47:15,040
All it's meant to do
is just throw our focus off,
769
00:47:15,146 --> 00:47:17,171
so that we can just move toward a mistrial.
770
00:47:17,281 --> 00:47:20,546
But I'd really like it out of the office,
so give it to me, please.
771
00:47:20,651 --> 00:47:24,553
Barry, after you shred it, burn it. OK?
772
00:47:24,655 --> 00:47:26,714
You know how many of
those crank things I get?
773
00:47:26,857 --> 00:47:28,154
What if it's for real?
774
00:47:28,259 --> 00:47:31,353
- No, it's not for real.
- What if it is?
775
00:47:31,462 --> 00:47:36,490
Well, if it's for real, then this isn't a trial,
is it? Then this is just an auction,
776
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:38,659
and I might as well get on this phone here
777
00:47:38,769 --> 00:47:42,398
and call up all those anti-gun activist
friends of mine in Washington
778
00:47:42,506 --> 00:47:46,840
and tell 'em we're just gonna put on
a telethon and we will buy this verdict.
779
00:47:46,944 --> 00:47:49,412
(phone rings)
780
00:47:49,513 --> 00:47:52,346
'Cause they're not gonna
think of that, are they?
781
00:47:56,187 --> 00:47:58,747
Somebody wanna get that phone?
You got any other suggestions?
782
00:47:58,889 --> 00:48:01,824
Well, look at it.
Syntax, handwriting, word choice.
783
00:48:01,959 --> 00:48:04,985
Clearly a woman did the note.
Someone's working the inside. A juror.
784
00:48:05,095 --> 00:48:09,429
Miss Monroe, I think seven hours
spent on this topic is sufficient.
785
00:48:09,533 --> 00:48:11,967
- Can we agree?
- Mr. Fitch, I got a call for you.
786
00:48:12,069 --> 00:48:14,037
Line seven.
787
00:48:15,506 --> 00:48:18,339
- Yes.
- (woman) Hello, Rankin.
788
00:48:18,442 --> 00:48:22,640
I'm the agent handling the property
you were notified about earlier today.
789
00:48:22,746 --> 00:48:26,147
- I'd like to know who I'm speaking with.
- You can call me Marlee.
790
00:48:26,250 --> 00:48:28,616
Pay phone, 15 miles away.
791
00:48:28,752 --> 00:48:31,516
- You can call me Marlee.
- Where are we going with this, Marlee?
792
00:48:31,655 --> 00:48:34,055
All the way to the verdict.
793
00:48:34,158 --> 00:48:38,390
The fact is, the jury's mine,
and I can push it either way. For a price.
794
00:48:38,495 --> 00:48:42,295
Sounds good. So good,
in fact, I don't believe you can do it.
795
00:48:42,399 --> 00:48:44,128
I'll bet you're old enough
to remember a time
796
00:48:44,235 --> 00:48:47,693
when people delivered on what
they promised. I'm one of those people.
797
00:48:47,805 --> 00:48:51,104
I'm also old enough to remember
Watergate, Abscam, Linda Tripp...
798
00:48:51,208 --> 00:48:53,403
...and a whole bunch of other times
people got entrapped
799
00:48:53,510 --> 00:48:56,604
for engaging in conversations
just like this, and you'd do very good
800
00:48:56,714 --> 00:48:59,239
to remember that, young lady.
There are consequences.
801
00:48:59,350 --> 00:49:04,049
Well, let me worry about those.
For now, I just hope you're feeling patriotic.
802
00:49:04,188 --> 00:49:07,487
- You hope I'm feeling...
- Patriotic?
803
00:49:08,892 --> 00:49:12,692
- Morning, Nick.
- Morning, Lou.
804
00:49:12,796 --> 00:49:15,765
- Good morning, Vanessa.
- Morning.
805
00:49:15,866 --> 00:49:16,764
- Nick.
- Hey, guys.
806
00:49:16,867 --> 00:49:18,061
- How you doin'?
- What's up?
807
00:49:18,168 --> 00:49:20,864
OK.
808
00:49:20,971 --> 00:49:23,201
- Hey, Lonnie, Sylvia.
- Hey, man.
809
00:49:23,307 --> 00:49:25,275
Good morning, Frank.
810
00:49:27,544 --> 00:49:29,978
Frank, you were in Panama
and Grenada, right?
811
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,446
- And Beirut.
- Wow.
812
00:49:32,549 --> 00:49:34,847
That really must've been something, huh?
813
00:49:34,985 --> 00:49:37,715
Yeah. Pulling the bodies
of friends of mine out of the rubble.
814
00:49:37,855 --> 00:49:40,824
- It was really something, Nick.
- No, no, no, no. You don't understand.
815
00:49:40,924 --> 00:49:43,449
I had a friend who was in Desert Storm.
He was in the Corps, too.
816
00:49:43,594 --> 00:49:46,620
- What division?
- The 1-4 out of Pendleton.
817
00:49:46,730 --> 00:49:48,391
Yeah, well, that was mostly air power.
818
00:49:48,499 --> 00:49:50,990
Not much real action down there anyhow.
819
00:49:53,237 --> 00:49:55,797
Actually, there was, Frank.
820
00:49:55,906 --> 00:49:59,307
You don't know what the hell
you're talking about, Easter.
821
00:49:59,410 --> 00:50:02,106
My friend's name was Donny Rabbs,
and his helicopter was shot down
822
00:50:02,212 --> 00:50:06,546
in a Kuwaiti oil field.
He was killed 12 years ago today.
823
00:50:06,650 --> 00:50:09,676
- Sorry to hear that.
- I'm sorry. It's just a strange day.
824
00:50:09,820 --> 00:50:12,254
I always figure, if I don't remember
him today, nobody else will.
825
00:50:12,356 --> 00:50:14,790
That's the way people are. Short
memories.
826
00:50:14,892 --> 00:50:19,022
That's a terrible thing, y'all,
but we don't always know God's plan.
827
00:50:19,129 --> 00:50:23,122
Listen, I don't know if it'd be inappropriate,
828
00:50:23,233 --> 00:50:26,896
but do you think we could
do something today to remember him?
829
00:50:27,004 --> 00:50:30,098
- We could say the Lord's Prayer.
- Well, I don't wanna ask people to pray.
830
00:50:30,207 --> 00:50:33,506
- How about "God Bless America"?
- I couldn't ask people to sing.
831
00:50:33,610 --> 00:50:35,942
- I don't sing.
- I don't sing, OK?
832
00:50:37,514 --> 00:50:39,482
You know what? I have an idea.
833
00:50:39,583 --> 00:50:42,575
Good morning.
You may take your seats, please.
834
00:50:47,858 --> 00:50:50,656
I pledge allegiance
835
00:50:50,761 --> 00:50:55,664
to the flag of the United States of America
836
00:50:55,766 --> 00:51:00,203
and to the republic for which it stands,
837
00:51:00,304 --> 00:51:05,173
one nation under God, indivisible,
838
00:51:05,275 --> 00:51:08,904
with liberty and justice for all.
839
00:51:09,012 --> 00:51:12,539
I don't know about you, Wendall,
but I'm feeling pretty patriotic.
840
00:51:12,649 --> 00:51:15,243
Uh, thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
Will you please take your seats?
841
00:51:15,386 --> 00:51:16,614
Jesus.
842
00:51:23,327 --> 00:51:26,421
- (gunshot)
- Shit.
843
00:51:30,033 --> 00:51:31,295
Pull!
844
00:51:39,643 --> 00:51:41,235
You wanted to see me?
845
00:51:41,345 --> 00:51:44,781
Mr. Cable called me last night
in a bit of a panic.
846
00:51:44,882 --> 00:51:49,080
Now, he's concerned that someone's
trying to monkey with our jury.
847
00:51:49,219 --> 00:51:52,416
As am I. As are my associates.
848
00:51:53,857 --> 00:51:56,826
- Who is it?
- It's a parlor game.
849
00:51:56,927 --> 00:51:59,828
Just because somebody
can influence where a jury has lunch,
850
00:51:59,930 --> 00:52:01,898
that doesn't mean
they can hand us the verdict.
851
00:52:01,999 --> 00:52:04,559
Ah, well, you see, Mr. Fitch,
this is where I get a little confused,
852
00:52:04,668 --> 00:52:06,636
because I was under the impression
853
00:52:06,737 --> 00:52:09,137
that we had already
purchased ourselves a verdict.
854
00:52:14,077 --> 00:52:16,102
You know what I love best about this gun?
855
00:52:16,213 --> 00:52:22,174
Though it's 70 years old, it's just
as reliable as the day it was made.
856
00:52:23,654 --> 00:52:25,622
Mr. Fitch!
857
00:52:27,057 --> 00:52:30,356
You find out who it is, will you?
858
00:52:32,429 --> 00:52:33,396
Pull!
859
00:52:33,497 --> 00:52:37,092
...one nation under God...
860
00:52:37,201 --> 00:52:39,169
At some point, everyone on the jury
861
00:52:39,269 --> 00:52:41,863
acknowledges Herrera,
like they're doing it for him.
862
00:52:41,972 --> 00:52:46,306
It's not him. Right here at the end,
Loreen Duke, our juror number 10...
863
00:52:46,410 --> 00:52:49,573
Right there. Freeze there.
Yeah. Tighten in on her left hand.
864
00:52:51,882 --> 00:52:54,680
Right there. (chuckles)
865
00:52:54,785 --> 00:52:56,844
Isn't that sweet?
866
00:52:56,987 --> 00:53:00,787
Nicholas Easter,
our song and dance man, has an agenda.
867
00:53:00,891 --> 00:53:04,349
Mr. Lamb, how did this confidence man
crash my jury pool?
868
00:53:04,495 --> 00:53:06,463
I don't know. I'd-I'd need some time, sir.
869
00:53:06,563 --> 00:53:08,656
Now. I'm asking for an educated guess.
870
00:53:08,765 --> 00:53:13,361
Maybe he just did it. I mean,
who wants jury duty? Nobody, right?
871
00:53:13,470 --> 00:53:15,700
It's like going to the dentist.
It's worse than going to the dentist.
872
00:53:15,806 --> 00:53:18,070
It's a municipal database
that nobody would ever wanna hack into.
873
00:53:18,175 --> 00:53:20,643
The security protocol is weak,
so he'd put a name on the list...
874
00:53:20,744 --> 00:53:23,542
I got it. I got it, Mr. Lamb. Thank you.
875
00:53:23,647 --> 00:53:26,013
- Mr. Doyle?
- I'm on it.
876
00:53:26,116 --> 00:53:27,515
Your Honor.
Good afternoon, Mr. Murphy.
877
00:53:27,651 --> 00:53:30,916
- You own and operate Excalibur Guns.
- Yes, sir, I do.
878
00:53:31,054 --> 00:53:33,181
Yes, and isn't Excalibur Guns
a retail outlet store
879
00:53:33,323 --> 00:53:36,121
- for Vicksburg Firearms?
- Yes, sir.
880
00:53:36,226 --> 00:53:38,592
Would you tell us about
your arrangement with a man,
881
00:53:38,695 --> 00:53:44,292
Michael Kincaid, who illegally sold
this Performa 990 semiautomatic
882
00:53:44,401 --> 00:53:47,768
to Kevin Peltier smack-dab
out of the trunk of his car?
883
00:53:47,871 --> 00:53:49,429
- My arrangement?
- Yes, sir.
884
00:53:49,540 --> 00:53:54,568
Well, Mikey... Mr. Kincaid
bought guns from my store...
885
00:53:54,678 --> 00:53:57,806
At a rate of more than 25 guns a month,
didn't you ever wonder
886
00:53:57,915 --> 00:54:00,941
who your friend Mikey was turning
around and selling these guns to?
887
00:54:01,051 --> 00:54:03,542
- Well, that's none of my business.
- Oh, you mean it's not your problem.
888
00:54:03,687 --> 00:54:06,155
- Now, hold on there. I didn't say that.
- Objection, Your Honor.
889
00:54:06,290 --> 00:54:09,885
- The counsel is testifying.
- Sustained. Mr. Rohr...
890
00:54:11,528 --> 00:54:13,621
Yo! Thanks a lot.
891
00:54:19,803 --> 00:54:21,771
- Afternoon.
- Afternoon.
892
00:54:26,810 --> 00:54:29,677
(Rohr)... your friend Michael Kincaid
28 guns in December.
893
00:54:29,780 --> 00:54:31,839
Now, did you ever wonder why one man
894
00:54:31,949 --> 00:54:34,747
would buy 112 guns
in a period of four months?
895
00:54:34,851 --> 00:54:37,479
- A collector?
- A collector, sir?
896
00:54:37,621 --> 00:54:41,751
112 weapons, and all of them
semiautomatic assault weapons?
897
00:54:41,892 --> 00:54:44,087
- I don't know.
- Come on, take a guess.
898
00:54:44,194 --> 00:54:47,095
- Christmas presents?
- That's a guess.
899
00:54:47,197 --> 00:54:49,427
Objection, Your Honor.
This is all speculation.
900
00:54:49,533 --> 00:54:51,296
- Sustained.
- Did they send a field rep
901
00:54:51,401 --> 00:54:53,801
- out to investigate?
- No, sir.
902
00:54:53,904 --> 00:54:55,997
No, because they were very pleased
with your success, weren't they?
903
00:54:56,106 --> 00:54:59,940
- Say again?
- Is it not true that Vicksburg Firearms,
904
00:55:00,043 --> 00:55:03,809
instead of investigating the increasing
number of guns that were being sold
905
00:55:03,914 --> 00:55:08,248
to one man, instead send you
and your wife on a trip to Jamaica.
906
00:55:08,385 --> 00:55:10,649
- No.
- No?
907
00:55:10,787 --> 00:55:13,688
My wife hates Jamaica.
We switched to Cancun.
908
00:55:13,790 --> 00:55:16,258
(laughter)
909
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:18,123
I have no further questions, Your Honor.
910
00:55:18,228 --> 00:55:21,322
Thank you, Mr. Rohr. We'll adjourn
today. Hold cross till tomorrow.
911
00:55:21,431 --> 00:55:24,161
Release the jury 45 minutes early.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
912
00:56:05,742 --> 00:56:07,801
Oh, hi. Yeah, the landlord let me in.
913
00:56:07,911 --> 00:56:10,812
He said some of the tenants had
been having trouble with the cable.
914
00:56:10,914 --> 00:56:14,213
- Uh-huh.
- But, uh... I checked yours out and, uh...
915
00:56:25,962 --> 00:56:26,929
Hey!
916
00:56:55,859 --> 00:56:59,295
(honking)
917
00:57:35,932 --> 00:57:38,867
(panting)
918
00:57:50,013 --> 00:57:51,810
(starts engine)
919
00:57:51,915 --> 00:57:53,678
Whoa!
920
00:58:13,537 --> 00:58:15,095
Hey!
921
00:58:30,954 --> 00:58:33,354
...looks fine.
I don't think you have anything...
922
00:58:35,091 --> 00:58:37,719
- (Fitch) What do we got, people?
- The drive's been erased twice over.
923
00:58:37,828 --> 00:58:39,557
It's empty. But it's not zeroed out.
924
00:58:39,663 --> 00:58:41,654
He may have been
more sloppy than he thought.
925
00:58:41,765 --> 00:58:44,131
- Give me a few moments.
- Mr. Fitch.
926
00:58:44,234 --> 00:58:46,828
Lamb, trace it.
927
00:58:49,539 --> 00:58:51,336
Fitch here.
928
00:58:51,441 --> 00:58:55,207
- You don't play nice.
- What are you talking about?
929
00:58:55,312 --> 00:58:57,212
You broke into Nick Easter's apartment.
930
00:58:57,314 --> 00:58:59,441
You freely assume it was me.
931
00:58:59,549 --> 00:59:01,710
Oh, wouldn't you be
disappointed if I didn't?
932
00:59:01,852 --> 00:59:04,878
I'm bumping a juror. One of yours.
933
00:59:05,021 --> 00:59:07,455
This time it's just gonna be a pinprick.
934
00:59:07,557 --> 00:59:10,458
Next time it's really gonna hurt.
935
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:12,721
(hangs up)
936
00:59:47,564 --> 00:59:52,592
Looks like somebody had themselves
a good time last night.
937
00:59:52,702 --> 00:59:57,139
I woke up on my stove. Oh, man.
938
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:01,006
- You don't got any aspirin, do you?
- Uh-uh.
939
01:00:16,860 --> 01:00:18,987
I think I can do a little bit better
than an aspirin.
940
01:00:19,095 --> 01:00:21,063
- Yeah?
- Mm-hm. A little hair of the dog.
941
01:00:21,164 --> 01:00:26,363
- Oh. Can you sweeten this up for me?
- Yeah, put it under the table.
942
01:00:26,469 --> 01:00:28,437
You're an angel.
943
01:00:29,606 --> 01:00:31,267
- No, let me pour it.
- I'll pour it.
944
01:00:31,374 --> 01:00:33,740
Let me do it. Let me do it!
945
01:00:38,949 --> 01:00:41,679
It's mine, sir.
946
01:00:41,785 --> 01:00:44,583
I didn't take you for a day drinker,
Mr. Easter.
947
01:00:44,721 --> 01:00:47,087
I'm usually not.
948
01:00:47,190 --> 01:00:49,926
You still trying to get off my jury?
Is that it?
949
01:00:49,926 --> 01:00:51,120
You still trying to get off my jury?
Is that it?
950
01:00:51,227 --> 01:00:53,718
Your Honor, I took an oath
to do my level best, and I meant it.
951
01:00:53,830 --> 01:00:56,697
Difficult as that is to believe, Mr. Easter,
952
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,826
it's even more difficult
to believe this is your liquor.
953
01:00:59,936 --> 01:01:02,905
I might be wrong, but I don't think
that's your shade of lipstick.
954
01:01:05,408 --> 01:01:07,774
Ms. Hullic?
955
01:01:07,877 --> 01:01:11,745
And moving into Ms. Hullic's spot
will be first alternate Ms. Lydia Deets.
956
01:01:11,848 --> 01:01:14,908
Ms. Deets... will you join
the jurors in the box, please?
957
01:01:15,051 --> 01:01:17,042
Welcome to our jury. I trust you got
958
01:01:17,187 --> 01:01:18,984
the same instructions
the rest of the jurors did.
959
01:01:19,122 --> 01:01:20,350
- You ready to go?
- Yes, sir.
960
01:01:20,490 --> 01:01:22,822
(Harkin) Very good. Well...
961
01:01:22,926 --> 01:01:28,330
- Cell phone, untraceable.
- Marlee?
962
01:01:28,431 --> 01:01:30,797
- I'd like your offer, Mr. Fitch.
- Not over the phone.
963
01:01:30,900 --> 01:01:33,198
If you thought this whole thing
was gonna take place long-distance,
964
01:01:33,303 --> 01:01:34,429
you're mistaken.
965
01:01:34,537 --> 01:01:37,734
- You wanna lose another juror?
- Anybody can get a juror booted.
966
01:01:37,841 --> 01:01:39,331
That doesn't show me
that you can deliver a verdict.
967
01:01:39,442 --> 01:01:42,536
Hell, I could get Nick Easter canned
if I put five man-hours into it.
968
01:01:42,645 --> 01:01:46,741
But you won't do that. You need him
to guarantee the jury swings your way.
969
01:01:46,850 --> 01:01:49,080
So next time I call, have your offer ready.
970
01:01:49,219 --> 01:01:51,187
(hangs up)
971
01:01:54,557 --> 01:01:59,085
Ladies and gentlemen,
this girl is an amateur.
972
01:01:59,195 --> 01:02:04,929
You understand? A dilettante!
And I want this nonsense ended today!
973
01:02:05,035 --> 01:02:07,833
I want you to find her!
I want you to contain her!
974
01:02:07,937 --> 01:02:10,167
Because you're losing me my jury!
975
01:02:13,009 --> 01:02:15,569
Now find something on every one of them!
976
01:02:15,678 --> 01:02:20,980
Pull their files! Review every word,
every photo, every medical record. Do it!
977
01:02:24,587 --> 01:02:27,920
- Who do we have?
- Rikki Coleman's boyfriend's name
978
01:02:28,024 --> 01:02:31,289
is Neil Pollard. Mrs. Coleman broke it off
with him two months after the abortion.
979
01:02:31,394 --> 01:02:33,157
- Who's gonna help Daddy?
- Me, me!
980
01:02:33,263 --> 01:02:36,199
The good news is Mr. Coleman has
racked up three cases of domestic battery,
981
01:02:36,199 --> 01:02:39,168
and there's no way she
would've cried on his shoulder about it.
982
01:02:39,269 --> 01:02:41,760
Your husband looks a lot different
than your boyfriend with you at the clinic.
983
01:02:41,871 --> 01:02:44,237
We'll be in touch.
984
01:02:48,144 --> 01:02:49,907
Back up, back up!
985
01:02:50,013 --> 01:02:52,311
About four months ago,
Mr. Weese began filling prescriptions
986
01:02:52,415 --> 01:02:56,408
for the following drugs:
Crixivan, Epivir, and AZT.
987
01:02:56,553 --> 01:03:00,045
Unbeknownst to his mother,
his employer, his church and his friends,
988
01:03:00,190 --> 01:03:02,215
Mr. Weese is HIV-positive.
989
01:03:02,358 --> 01:03:03,985
Get off me!
990
01:03:04,094 --> 01:03:05,618
That's what I'm talkin' about!
991
01:03:08,898 --> 01:03:10,490
- Get a little present for ya.
- Who are you?
992
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:12,625
- An NBA scout or something?
- This is gonna change your life.
993
01:03:12,735 --> 01:03:15,067
- Yeah?
- We'll be in touch.
994
01:03:17,273 --> 01:03:18,900
- Hey!
- Millie Dupree,
995
01:03:19,008 --> 01:03:22,307
- married 18 years to Hoppy Dupree.
- Hey, Hoppy...
996
01:03:22,412 --> 01:03:24,642
One of the city's
more unprincipled real estate agents.
997
01:03:24,747 --> 01:03:26,146
OK. Nice meeting you.
998
01:03:26,249 --> 01:03:28,479
As you know,
our Mr. Ringwald has set the bait.
999
01:03:28,618 --> 01:03:31,519
You know, Mr. Ringwald, if anybody
can help you walk that land deal
1000
01:03:31,621 --> 01:03:33,555
through with the county, it'd be me.
1001
01:03:33,656 --> 01:03:35,556
Owens and Strode are about to
close the snare as we speak.
1002
01:03:35,658 --> 01:03:38,388
Is that convincing enough for you?
1003
01:03:38,495 --> 01:03:42,056
- Freeze! Nobody move! Get down!
- FBI!
1004
01:03:42,165 --> 01:03:43,598
Gentlemen, keep your hands on the table.
1005
01:03:43,700 --> 01:03:45,258
Hoppy Dupree, you're under arrest.
1006
01:03:45,368 --> 01:03:47,598
Hoppy Dupree,
you're in violation of federal code,
1007
01:03:47,704 --> 01:03:50,070
attempting to bribe a government official.
1008
01:03:50,173 --> 01:03:55,338
Mr. Kincaid, you wanna tell the court
just a little bit about your schooling?
1009
01:03:55,445 --> 01:03:58,642
Well, not a whole lot to tell. I mean,
I guess most people got a college degree,
1010
01:03:58,748 --> 01:04:01,581
and about the only thing I ever got
was the third degree.
1011
01:04:01,718 --> 01:04:03,276
(laughter)
1012
01:04:03,419 --> 01:04:06,855
I appreciate your sense of humor, but
let's try to stay a little more on the topic.
1013
01:04:06,990 --> 01:04:09,618
Stay more on Kyle Murphy
and his shop, Excalibur Guns.
1014
01:04:09,726 --> 01:04:10,693
All right.
1015
01:04:10,793 --> 01:04:13,091
Now, when you went over there
to get your shipment of guns,
1016
01:04:13,196 --> 01:04:16,063
did Kyle Murphy ever say to you,
"Sorry, we're out,"
1017
01:04:16,166 --> 01:04:19,067
or, "Now, why do you need 25
assault-style pistols in a month?"
1018
01:04:19,169 --> 01:04:22,229
- Did he ever say anything like that?
- No, he never said anything like that.
1019
01:04:22,338 --> 01:04:25,899
- He always had plenty of guns around.
- Gotcha. Thank you, Mr. Kincaid.
1020
01:04:26,009 --> 01:04:28,000
Your witness.
1021
01:04:28,111 --> 01:04:33,048
Mr. Kincaid, you were the one
who sold the gun used by Kevin Peltier
1022
01:04:33,149 --> 01:04:35,413
in the brokerage house shootings.
Is that correct?
1023
01:04:35,552 --> 01:04:39,613
Yeah, that is correct,
and I did a stretch for that, too.
1024
01:04:39,756 --> 01:04:42,725
Now, to your knowledge,
was Vicksburg Firearms aware that
1025
01:04:42,825 --> 01:04:45,316
you were out there reselling their product?
1026
01:04:50,366 --> 01:04:52,334
No, not to my knowledge.
1027
01:04:54,003 --> 01:04:57,063
(Rohr) He flipped on us.
1028
01:04:57,173 --> 01:05:00,310
So Vicksburg Firearms never
sent you on any trips,
1029
01:05:00,310 --> 01:05:04,508
or endorsed or fostered you
selling their guns in any way.
1030
01:05:04,614 --> 01:05:07,208
- Is that correct?
- Yeah, that's correct.
1031
01:05:07,317 --> 01:05:11,981
But I wish they had. I wish they had
endorsed me, like they did Kyle,
1032
01:05:12,121 --> 01:05:14,521
'cause I saw some pictures
he brought back from the trip he took
1033
01:05:14,624 --> 01:05:18,185
down to Cancun,
and, man, livin' it up down there.
1034
01:05:18,294 --> 01:05:20,819
I could've gone for some of that.
I wish they had sent me. I'd have been
1035
01:05:20,930 --> 01:05:23,364
on the beach right there with him,
looking at some big ol' butt thongs
1036
01:05:23,466 --> 01:05:25,798
and sipping on margaritas.
It would've been great.
1037
01:05:25,902 --> 01:05:28,803
- Simple answer, please.
- Simple answer is no...
1038
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:35,243
And I want it on record here now, too.
I didn't have any idea what Peltier
1039
01:05:35,345 --> 01:05:37,870
was gonna do with that gun
when I sold it to him.
1040
01:05:37,981 --> 01:05:39,515
He was a wack job.
I wasn't about trying to get anybody hurt.
1041
01:05:39,515 --> 01:05:40,948
He was a wack job.
I wasn't about trying to get anybody hurt.
1042
01:05:41,050 --> 01:05:43,814
OK, I've retrieved some fragments.
I've got two things.
1043
01:05:43,953 --> 01:05:49,289
One: list of registered voters for Cincinnati.
1044
01:05:49,392 --> 01:05:51,519
Why would Nicholas Easter want
a list of registered voters in Cincinnati?
1045
01:05:51,628 --> 01:05:55,587
Because voter registration lists
lead to potential jury pools.
1046
01:05:55,698 --> 01:05:58,030
- What else you got?
- Well, this is from the drive's directory.
1047
01:05:58,134 --> 01:06:00,694
It's time-stamped
the day he got his jury summons.
1048
01:06:00,803 --> 01:06:04,034
He synchronized the data
on his drive to another device.
1049
01:06:05,908 --> 01:06:07,876
That's what you should've snagged.
1050
01:06:07,977 --> 01:06:11,538
Doyle, you're going back in, and this time
I want you to take Mr. Janovich.
1051
01:06:11,648 --> 01:06:12,982
Oh... Why do I have to take him?
1052
01:06:12,982 --> 01:06:15,712
Oh... Why do I have to take him?
1053
01:06:15,852 --> 01:06:18,286
Because Mr. Janovich can find anything.
1054
01:06:31,100 --> 01:06:32,067
(blues)
1055
01:06:32,168 --> 01:06:35,865
I'm going for it.
Thank you, thank you. Watch this.
1056
01:06:35,972 --> 01:06:38,133
- Nick...
- Got one for me?
1057
01:06:49,185 --> 01:06:52,348
What's going on, Eddie?
You seem kind of gloomy. You all right?
1058
01:06:52,488 --> 01:06:57,619
Oh, no, no, I'm fine. You know,
I just got a lot on my mind, that's all.
1059
01:06:57,727 --> 01:07:00,218
You OK?
You wanna talk about it or anything?
1060
01:07:00,296 --> 01:07:02,355
I'm cool.
1061
01:07:02,465 --> 01:07:04,433
- Really.
- OK.
1062
01:07:04,534 --> 01:07:08,971
- (man) Here's one more for you, Miss.
- (woman) Thank you very much.
1063
01:07:24,620 --> 01:07:26,611
Sorry, man.
1064
01:07:59,021 --> 01:08:00,921
I left my key inside.
1065
01:08:19,075 --> 01:08:20,064
(chuckles)
1066
01:08:20,176 --> 01:08:21,768
Congratulations.
1067
01:08:24,347 --> 01:08:25,609
We got it. Let's go.
1068
01:08:28,284 --> 01:08:33,312
Janovich, you don't have to do this.
I said you don't have to do this!
1069
01:08:33,456 --> 01:08:35,424
Did you hear me?
1070
01:08:48,371 --> 01:08:50,999
(fire alarm)
1071
01:09:00,049 --> 01:09:02,916
Hey, guys. There's something
really wrong with Rikki.
1072
01:09:03,052 --> 01:09:04,883
I mean it. Come on!
1073
01:09:05,021 --> 01:09:07,216
See? Right there.
1074
01:09:12,261 --> 01:09:14,525
Come on, Rikki.
1075
01:09:17,066 --> 01:09:18,499
- Oh, God!
- Give me a towel.
1076
01:09:18,601 --> 01:09:21,570
Give me a paper towel. Paper towel, now!
1077
01:09:21,671 --> 01:09:23,502
(Jerry) Oh, that's nasty.
1078
01:09:23,606 --> 01:09:26,166
(Loreen) She's had five shooters.
It's no wonder.
1079
01:09:31,414 --> 01:09:33,279
- Call for help.
- What? She just had too much to drink.
1080
01:09:33,382 --> 01:09:35,145
- Call 911 now!
- OK, OK!
1081
01:09:36,586 --> 01:09:38,349
Damn!
1082
01:09:40,690 --> 01:09:42,521
I'm sorry.
1083
01:09:44,227 --> 01:09:46,320
I'm sorry, Rikki.
1084
01:09:46,429 --> 01:09:49,398
- Is she breathing, Nick?
- Yeah, she's gonna be OK, I think.
1085
01:09:49,499 --> 01:09:52,491
(sirens)
1086
01:09:52,602 --> 01:09:54,570
(man) I can't believe this.
1087
01:09:54,670 --> 01:09:58,071
Damn lucky the place
is still here and no one was hurt.
1088
01:10:05,314 --> 01:10:07,248
People can't move back into this place.
1089
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:35,277
They got to Rikki Coleman.
The woman was president of the PTA.
1090
01:10:35,378 --> 01:10:38,814
She bakes cookies for her kids. And
whatever that son of a bitch had on her,
1091
01:10:38,915 --> 01:10:43,181
he brought out the heavy lumber.
She swallowed a fistful of sleeping pills.
1092
01:10:43,319 --> 01:10:46,652
- Who's her replacement?
- Who's her...
1093
01:10:46,756 --> 01:10:50,021
Did you hear what I just said?
The woman almost killed herself tonight.
1094
01:10:50,126 --> 01:10:52,560
I'm sorry.
1095
01:10:52,662 --> 01:10:54,721
And they're putting the heat on the others.
1096
01:10:54,830 --> 01:10:58,823
Eddie Weese and Millie Dupree.
They torched my place tonight.
1097
01:10:58,935 --> 01:11:02,063
Well, at least we know
we have them motivated.
1098
01:11:02,171 --> 01:11:05,607
Oh. Here's the fun part.
They got the MP3 player.
1099
01:11:05,708 --> 01:11:07,733
Those files are encrypted.
1100
01:11:07,843 --> 01:11:11,244
Yeah, they're encrypted, but these guys
are good. They got teams of people.
1101
01:11:11,347 --> 01:11:15,374
You don't think they're gonna crack that?
We got three, four days, tops
1102
01:11:15,484 --> 01:11:17,543
before the walls cave in.
1103
01:11:17,687 --> 01:11:19,814
If we stay.
1104
01:11:19,956 --> 01:11:22,891
If we stay?
What do you mean, if we stay?
1105
01:11:22,992 --> 01:11:25,460
What are you saying to me, Nicky?
You saying to me you wanna run away?
1106
01:11:25,595 --> 01:11:27,529
- Is that what you're saying?
- Listen, Marlee.
1107
01:11:27,630 --> 01:11:29,996
- People are getting hurt.
- We're inside.
1108
01:11:30,099 --> 01:11:31,191
- People could get killed.
- No.
1109
01:11:31,300 --> 01:11:33,791
- No, I'm inside. You're on the street!
- Don't say that to me.
1110
01:11:33,903 --> 01:11:36,497
We're in this together, and it is your job -
it is our job - to protect ourselves.
1111
01:11:36,606 --> 01:11:38,096
Well, there's only so much
I can do, all right?
1112
01:11:38,207 --> 01:11:40,437
It's not just them that I worry about.
1113
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:47,080
I can't protect you.
1114
01:11:55,558 --> 01:11:58,652
- Where are we with Rohr?
- He hasn't stepped up yet.
1115
01:11:58,761 --> 01:12:00,922
He will.
1116
01:12:01,030 --> 01:12:03,123
And Fitch wants to meet.
1117
01:12:04,433 --> 01:12:06,958
I mean, we knew I'd have to
go face-to-face with him.
1118
01:12:08,571 --> 01:12:12,598
It's OK. I can play him. I can...
1119
01:12:13,943 --> 01:12:19,074
- Set a date.
- OK.
1120
01:12:21,684 --> 01:12:23,777
We can't afford to lose any more jurors.
1121
01:12:23,919 --> 01:12:27,286
- (door opens)
- I know the math.
1122
01:12:27,390 --> 01:12:30,120
And we put Fitch on his heels right now.
1123
01:12:33,195 --> 01:12:36,824
This video is from a security camera
inside juror number nine's apartment.
1124
01:12:36,932 --> 01:12:39,400
Take a good look.
1125
01:12:39,502 --> 01:12:41,629
(Nick clears throat)
1126
01:12:41,737 --> 01:12:43,534
Oh, hi. The landlord let me in.
1127
01:12:43,639 --> 01:12:45,834
Lot of people had been
complaining about their cable,
1128
01:12:45,941 --> 01:12:48,910
but, uh, I checked yours out.
I don't think you have...
1129
01:12:49,011 --> 01:12:51,980
Gentlemen,
this malfeasance will not stand.
1130
01:12:52,081 --> 01:12:54,982
Now, I don't know which of you
this man was working for, and I don't care.
1131
01:12:55,084 --> 01:12:56,949
But you are lucky I can't make out his face,
1132
01:12:57,086 --> 01:12:59,077
because if I could, I'd be inclined to
turn this matter over to the DA's office.
1133
01:12:59,221 --> 01:13:00,620
- Outside.
- Your Honor, I move for a mistrial.
1134
01:13:00,756 --> 01:13:03,350
No, Mr. Cable.
There is not gonna be a mistrial here!
1135
01:13:03,492 --> 01:13:06,859
Motion denied!
Not because of maneuvers like this!
1136
01:13:11,333 --> 01:13:14,598
Now, for the remainder of this trial,
ourjury is to be sequestered.
1137
01:13:14,704 --> 01:13:16,604
Bailiff, would you please inform...
1138
01:13:19,775 --> 01:13:20,935
- The guy in the video...
- Yeah?
1139
01:13:21,043 --> 01:13:22,943
Set fire to Nick Easter's place last night.
1140
01:13:23,045 --> 01:13:25,912
- What?
- Set fire to his place last night.
1141
01:13:26,015 --> 01:13:27,949
- How would you know that?
- Because I was there.
1142
01:13:32,521 --> 01:13:34,614
You were there?
You went to a juror's residence...
1143
01:13:34,757 --> 01:13:36,247
- Yes, yes.
...without asking me?
1144
01:13:36,392 --> 01:13:37,825
I'm gonna tell you what.
Wendall, listen to me.
1145
01:13:37,927 --> 01:13:39,827
- We're done. We're finished.
- That's what you pay me for.
1146
01:13:39,929 --> 01:13:42,796
No, no, no, no. You're a young punk,
and you should've asked me.
1147
01:13:42,898 --> 01:13:46,459
- You're fired. You're...
- Nick Easter is spinning this jury.
1148
01:13:47,570 --> 01:13:49,902
That's why Fitch ransacked his place.
1149
01:13:50,005 --> 01:13:52,735
There's some kind of twisted power play
going on between these two.
1150
01:13:52,842 --> 01:13:56,300
You're afraid, you go to the judge and
you tell him, they're gonna call a mistrial.
1151
01:13:56,412 --> 01:13:58,710
- The defense would love nothing more.
- That's right.
1152
01:13:58,814 --> 01:14:02,716
Why hasn't the defense
told the judge about Nick Easter?
1153
01:14:05,521 --> 01:14:08,115
Because they're really
gonna buy this verdict.
1154
01:14:10,025 --> 01:14:12,016
- Bastards.
- Celeste, behind you.
1155
01:14:13,362 --> 01:14:17,389
Hey, Celeste! Henry! Wham!
1156
01:14:17,500 --> 01:14:19,832
- Mr. Rohr...
- What's going on?
1157
01:14:19,935 --> 01:14:21,630
- That reporter just told me...
- Yeah?
1158
01:14:21,737 --> 01:14:22,897
She said something about a mistrial.
1159
01:14:23,005 --> 01:14:24,472
No, that's nonsense.
Don't worry about that.
1160
01:14:24,573 --> 01:14:26,598
- Well, she said the judge is gonna...
- No, no, now listen to me.
1161
01:14:26,709 --> 01:14:28,199
Let me explain something.
Everything's fine.
1162
01:14:28,310 --> 01:14:30,744
The judge has sequestered the jury.
You understand that?
1163
01:14:30,846 --> 01:14:32,040
And it's not unusual
when you have a heated trial.
1164
01:14:32,148 --> 01:14:35,083
- You said we had an excellent case.
- Yes.
1165
01:14:35,184 --> 01:14:37,175
When I met with you a year ago,
you said that
1166
01:14:37,286 --> 01:14:39,982
we could change the way
these people do business,
1167
01:14:40,122 --> 01:14:44,991
that my husband's life,
that all of those lives wouldn't be...
1168
01:14:45,094 --> 01:14:47,927
What?
1169
01:14:48,030 --> 01:14:50,624
- What's the matter, Celeste?
- I just need to hear it.
1170
01:14:53,435 --> 01:14:57,701
- Tell me we can win this.
- We can.
1171
01:14:57,807 --> 01:15:01,072
- We are gonna win it.
- OK.
1172
01:15:01,177 --> 01:15:04,078
- OK?
- Come on, Henry.
1173
01:15:04,180 --> 01:15:05,374
- Henry, you going to the park?
- Yeah!
1174
01:15:05,481 --> 01:15:08,211
I'll see you later.
1175
01:15:08,317 --> 01:15:11,115
How about we walk over
to Jackson Square...
1176
01:15:13,622 --> 01:15:17,524
I got Mr. Easter's list of potential jurors.
Boston, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati.
1177
01:15:17,626 --> 01:15:19,753
- What are the dates?
- Boston, 2000,
1178
01:15:19,862 --> 01:15:22,729
Pittsburgh and Brooklyn, '99,
and Cincinnati, '98.
1179
01:15:22,832 --> 01:15:26,359
They've been stalking gun cases.
1180
01:15:26,468 --> 01:15:29,130
Now they're in the house.
1181
01:15:29,238 --> 01:15:31,365
- All right.
- (phone rings)
1182
01:15:31,473 --> 01:15:34,772
Amanda, I want the jury files
on all four cities. I want 'em tonight.
1183
01:15:34,877 --> 01:15:36,868
Line two. It's her.
1184
01:15:40,816 --> 01:15:42,784
Good afternoon, Marlee.
1185
01:15:42,918 --> 01:15:46,149
I see you and Mr. Easter
are keeping busy, busy, busy.
1186
01:15:46,288 --> 01:15:48,916
The Palace Cafe
on Canal Street. Downstairs,
1187
01:15:49,058 --> 01:15:51,526
main dining room. 15 minutes.
1188
01:15:59,068 --> 01:16:00,968
Thank you.
1189
01:16:22,224 --> 01:16:24,522
- Mr. Fitch?
- Marlee.
1190
01:16:24,627 --> 01:16:27,460
Good. I just won a bet with myself.
1191
01:16:27,563 --> 01:16:30,862
I figured you for blond.
Oh, please have a seat.
1192
01:16:32,968 --> 01:16:35,198
Nice mass�, sequestering the jury.
1193
01:16:35,304 --> 01:16:38,740
Close ranks. Makes them harder to rea...
1194
01:16:47,983 --> 01:16:50,110
- Mr. Fitch?
- Yes?
1195
01:16:50,252 --> 01:16:52,550
- This is for you.
- Thank you.
1196
01:17:31,994 --> 01:17:38,194
- What's your price?
- 10 million. Nonnegotiable.
1197
01:17:40,235 --> 01:17:46,003
This is made out to cash. $500,000.
1198
01:17:46,108 --> 01:17:48,542
To walk away from my jury.
1199
01:17:49,411 --> 01:17:52,505
I wouldn't drop off
your dry cleaning for that.
1200
01:17:56,518 --> 01:17:59,646
You wanna ask Nick about that?
1201
01:17:59,788 --> 01:18:03,724
OK, OK. How do I know
that you can provide the verdict?
1202
01:18:03,859 --> 01:18:05,759
We got the jury sequestered, didn't we?
1203
01:18:05,861 --> 01:18:08,728
Look, we know you're
leaning on a couple of jurors,
1204
01:18:08,831 --> 01:18:11,664
but it's not enough.
You need nine warm bodies.
1205
01:18:11,767 --> 01:18:14,203
Nick Easter can deliver them.
He's very persuasive.
1206
01:18:14,203 --> 01:18:15,261
Nick Easter can deliver them.
He's very persuasive.
1207
01:18:15,371 --> 01:18:18,499
- You're such a good hustler.
- Mm. You're a good arsonist.
1208
01:18:18,607 --> 01:18:21,667
We both know what's at stake here.
You lose this one,
1209
01:18:21,777 --> 01:18:25,474
and every civil lawyer in the country
is gonna be holding out his hand.
1210
01:18:26,648 --> 01:18:28,548
This is mine.
1211
01:18:28,650 --> 01:18:33,587
You won't get off until the next stop.
It's the zoo.
1212
01:18:37,693 --> 01:18:39,820
I'm gonna give you
a second chance to take this.
1213
01:18:39,928 --> 01:18:46,333
I want you to consider it.
I think it's fair. I do. I really do.
1214
01:18:46,435 --> 01:18:52,203
Listen, Fitch, when you're
ready to pony up the ten,
1215
01:18:52,307 --> 01:18:56,073
email me at this address.
It's a free account, untraceable.
1216
01:18:56,178 --> 01:18:58,646
But then I'm sure you already knew that.
1217
01:19:34,817 --> 01:19:36,284
Here you are, sir.
1218
01:19:36,418 --> 01:19:40,149
OK. I get the being sequestered part,
but why put us all the way out here
1219
01:19:40,289 --> 01:19:41,881
- by the east Texas border?
- (chuckles) I know.
1220
01:19:42,024 --> 01:19:44,322
Hell, I can see Port Arthur
from the parking lot.
1221
01:19:44,426 --> 01:19:46,656
Does anyone know how Rikki's doing?
1222
01:19:46,762 --> 01:19:49,492
Oh, she was released
from the hospital about an hour ago.
1223
01:19:49,598 --> 01:19:51,998
- That's good.
- Lovely girl. She seemed fine to me,
1224
01:19:52,101 --> 01:19:54,626
but you never really know
what's going on with a person.
1225
01:19:54,736 --> 01:19:57,261
Could be her marriage, her church...
1226
01:19:57,372 --> 01:20:00,808
No, no, no. It was nothing like that.
Look, somebody got to that girl.
1227
01:20:00,909 --> 01:20:03,434
Oh, now that's hokum.
Why would anyone wanna get to her?
1228
01:20:03,545 --> 01:20:05,137
The same reason
they wanna get to any of us.
1229
01:20:05,247 --> 01:20:06,805
To influence the outcome of the trial.
1230
01:20:06,915 --> 01:20:09,577
- My Lord, are we safe?
- OK, here are your keys.
1231
01:20:09,718 --> 01:20:13,085
We are now.
1232
01:20:16,558 --> 01:20:19,721
(crying) Hoppy was arrested.
1233
01:20:19,828 --> 01:20:22,854
They said they would put him in jail for life
1234
01:20:22,965 --> 01:20:26,298
if I didn't vote in favor of the gun company.
1235
01:20:26,401 --> 01:20:29,268
It's OK, sweetheart.
1236
01:20:31,373 --> 01:20:33,807
- We'll talk about it in the morning.
- Thanks. Good night.
1237
01:20:33,909 --> 01:20:35,877
Good night.
1238
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:43,011
- (locks door)
- (Frank chuckles)
1239
01:20:43,152 --> 01:20:46,121
Didn't take you for a man
who goes for the big girls, Easter.
1240
01:20:46,255 --> 01:20:49,622
You're just full of surprises, ain't you?
1241
01:20:49,725 --> 01:20:52,353
I'm fine, Frank. How are you?
1242
01:20:55,631 --> 01:20:59,089
- Can I get by?
- I've been watching you, Easter.
1243
01:20:59,201 --> 01:21:03,069
- From day one.
- I just wanna go to my room, Frank.
1244
01:21:03,172 --> 01:21:07,233
You're a real boy scout, aren't you?
Playing everybody.
1245
01:21:07,342 --> 01:21:10,243
Playing the judge. Playing Millie?
1246
01:21:10,345 --> 01:21:13,280
I've put up with guys like you my whole life.
1247
01:21:13,382 --> 01:21:18,410
Now, I want you to
understand something. OK?
1248
01:21:18,554 --> 01:21:25,187
I don't like my hand being forced.
You understand?
1249
01:21:28,030 --> 01:21:30,328
Get some sleep, Frank.
1250
01:21:30,432 --> 01:21:33,401
("When the Saints Go Marching In")
1251
01:22:03,832 --> 01:22:05,800
Mr. Rohr?
1252
01:22:10,806 --> 01:22:13,331
May I sit down?
1253
01:22:13,442 --> 01:22:16,206
- I know you're playing both sides.
- We are.
1254
01:22:17,980 --> 01:22:24,215
- May I sit down?
- Yeah, go on. Sit down. Sit down.
1255
01:22:29,424 --> 01:22:32,052
Now you tell me...
1256
01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:35,095
you tell me why I shouldn't
go to the judge, get a mistrial
1257
01:22:35,197 --> 01:22:38,758
and have that provocative little bottom
of yours thrown into jail.
1258
01:22:38,867 --> 01:22:41,995
You know how serious we are
about jury tampering down here?
1259
01:22:42,104 --> 01:22:44,072
- You wouldn't do that.
- Oh, don't you be so sure.
1260
01:22:44,172 --> 01:22:45,434
You wouldn't put Mrs. Wood
through the pain
1261
01:22:45,540 --> 01:22:47,405
and the expense of a mistrial.
She couldn't afford it.
1262
01:22:47,509 --> 01:22:50,444
You don't know anything about Celeste
Wood. You don't know what drives her.
1263
01:22:50,545 --> 01:22:52,877
Unlike you, young lady,
she's not in it for the money.
1264
01:22:52,981 --> 01:22:57,441
- And what are you in it for, Mr. Rohr?
- Oh, you're something, aren't you?
1265
01:22:57,586 --> 01:23:00,214
- What do you think I'm in it for?
- You tell me.
1266
01:23:00,322 --> 01:23:02,153
I'd like to get the law changed.
1267
01:23:02,257 --> 01:23:05,283
That's why you're here. But you need help.
1268
01:23:05,427 --> 01:23:08,487
It's up to you.
You can be a good boy, play by the rules...
1269
01:23:08,597 --> 01:23:12,431
or you can win a huge victory
for gun control. The choice is yours.
1270
01:23:12,534 --> 01:23:14,058
You know, this may come
as a surprise to you,
1271
01:23:14,169 --> 01:23:16,069
but I don't have to make that choice.
1272
01:23:16,171 --> 01:23:18,264
Don't tell me. Your whistle-blower
from Vicksburg is gonna testify
1273
01:23:18,373 --> 01:23:21,206
his company knows about the number
of guns that wind up on the black market.
1274
01:23:21,310 --> 01:23:22,334
That's right.
That's precisely what's gonna happen.
1275
01:23:22,444 --> 01:23:24,071
- Mr. Rohr.
- What?
1276
01:23:24,179 --> 01:23:26,010
What makes you think this witness
is ever gonna make it to the stand?
1277
01:23:26,114 --> 01:23:27,604
Because that whistle-blower came to us.
1278
01:23:27,716 --> 01:23:29,911
- Fitch is gonna get to him.
- We didn't call him. He came to us.
1279
01:23:30,052 --> 01:23:32,179
- He's your star witness.
- We didn't... Listen to me.
1280
01:23:32,321 --> 01:23:34,221
You don't know what this man's capable of!
1281
01:23:34,323 --> 01:23:35,984
Sweetheart! Hey! Hey! Hey!
1282
01:23:40,028 --> 01:23:43,794
He came to us. He's tucked away
right now. I'm not gonna tell you where.
1283
01:23:43,899 --> 01:23:48,927
The man, out of conscience,
cannot wait to get on that stand and testify.
1284
01:23:50,706 --> 01:23:52,936
Anyone can be gotten to.
1285
01:23:54,943 --> 01:23:58,310
What do you know? Hm?
1286
01:23:58,413 --> 01:24:01,974
How much are we talking about here?
What do you wanna bleed me for?
1287
01:24:02,084 --> 01:24:05,281
- Five, six, seven million?
- Ten million.
1288
01:24:05,420 --> 01:24:07,718
Ooh, that's a... big number.
1289
01:24:07,823 --> 01:24:10,758
That's a big number.
1290
01:24:10,859 --> 01:24:14,192
With Rankin Fitch in the game,
you can't win.
1291
01:24:14,296 --> 01:24:16,932
So if you just match his offer,
I'm gonna swing it your way. Good-bye.
1292
01:24:16,932 --> 01:24:20,561
So if you just match his offer,
I'm gonna swing it your way. Good-bye.
1293
01:24:23,505 --> 01:24:26,736
Who hurt you?
1294
01:24:26,842 --> 01:24:30,300
Who made you this way? Come on.
1295
01:24:30,412 --> 01:24:33,438
You know what you're messing with here?
You know how important this is?
1296
01:24:48,096 --> 01:24:50,189
We've been poring over
those boxes of jury files.
1297
01:24:50,298 --> 01:24:54,598
We found this in the Cincinnati stack.
He used the name David Lancaster.
1298
01:24:54,703 --> 01:25:00,437
He was prospective juror number 54,
but he didn't make it on.
1299
01:25:00,542 --> 01:25:02,442
Call Doyle. Tell him to pack.
1300
01:25:02,544 --> 01:25:05,377
He's gonna be on
the first flight out to Cincinnati.
1301
01:25:05,480 --> 01:25:07,880
Let's see if Mr. Lancaster
has left any loose ends behind.
1302
01:25:07,983 --> 01:25:11,544
Everybody's got a dirty little secret.
Let's find out what his is.
1303
01:25:14,156 --> 01:25:15,589
Where the hell is he?
1304
01:25:15,690 --> 01:25:18,181
- He was in his room an hour ago.
- No, I know that. I know that.
1305
01:25:18,326 --> 01:25:19,793
Now, where is he? I thought
you had someone baby-sitting him.
1306
01:25:19,928 --> 01:25:22,556
- I'll keep trying the hotel.
- Find him. Get him here.
1307
01:25:23,765 --> 01:25:24,993
Mr. Rohr, is everything
all right down there?
1308
01:25:25,100 --> 01:25:27,330
Go find him.
Everything's fine, Your Honor.
1309
01:25:27,436 --> 01:25:29,461
Well, you called Mr. Kriegler
ten minutes ago.
1310
01:25:29,571 --> 01:25:33,371
- Could we show him in, please?
- Your Honor...
1311
01:25:33,475 --> 01:25:37,969
- Your Honor, may I approach?
- You may. Mr. Cable.
1312
01:25:40,615 --> 01:25:44,642
Your Honor, I'd like to request
a brief adjournment at this time.
1313
01:25:44,786 --> 01:25:48,745
- Where's your witness, Mr. Rohr?
- We're looking... we're looking into that.
1314
01:25:48,890 --> 01:25:50,448
Your request for an adjournment is denied.
1315
01:25:50,592 --> 01:25:52,457
Your Honor, this is my key witness.
1316
01:25:52,561 --> 01:25:55,189
Well, then you should have
kept a tighter leash on him.
1317
01:25:55,297 --> 01:25:56,559
Now, I told both of you,
1318
01:25:56,665 --> 01:25:58,326
I'm not gonna stand for
any more foolishness during this trial.
1319
01:25:58,433 --> 01:26:00,697
- We will proceed on schedule.
- But, Your Honor...
1320
01:26:00,802 --> 01:26:04,169
Now, Mr. Rohr... is there another
request you'd like to make at this time?
1321
01:26:04,272 --> 01:26:07,435
Your Honor, it would be highly prejudicial
to my client if we are not permitted to...
1322
01:26:07,542 --> 01:26:09,169
I will take that as a motion
for reconsideration.
1323
01:26:09,277 --> 01:26:12,075
- Your Honor.
- Denied. Call your next witness.
1324
01:26:12,180 --> 01:26:16,412
- Call your next witness, Mr. Rohr.
- I have no next witness.
1325
01:26:16,518 --> 01:26:19,248
If so, Mr. Rohr, then plaintiff rests.
Thank you, gentlemen.
1326
01:26:19,387 --> 01:26:21,855
(spectators murmuring)
1327
01:26:40,809 --> 01:26:42,777
(clears throat)
1328
01:26:49,351 --> 01:26:55,449
Wendall Rohr. An overdue pleasure.
Rankin Fitch.
1329
01:26:56,858 --> 01:27:00,385
Nice suit. Very, um, "of the people,"
1330
01:27:00,495 --> 01:27:03,760
Yours is nicer. What would you call it?
"Gun lobby protecting its own"?
1331
01:27:03,865 --> 01:27:06,629
Oh! Swank shoes. Big tobacco?
1332
01:27:06,735 --> 01:27:09,431
Big alligator. Wrestled it myself.
1333
01:27:10,939 --> 01:27:13,407
Excuse me, we're cleaning up in here.
1334
01:27:15,310 --> 01:27:16,800
Am I gonna get beat up now, Mr. Rohr?
1335
01:27:16,912 --> 01:27:18,777
What'd you do to my witness?
Threaten his family?
1336
01:27:18,880 --> 01:27:21,872
Write him a check? Just curious
about what your technique is, Mr. Fitch.
1337
01:27:21,983 --> 01:27:26,181
Maybe he, uh, decided against biting
the hand that fed him these past few years.
1338
01:27:26,321 --> 01:27:28,289
You know exactly why he came to us.
1339
01:27:28,390 --> 01:27:32,588
Oh, please. Don't tell me you hung
your case on somebody's conscience.
1340
01:27:32,694 --> 01:27:34,161
I hung my case on my own conscience.
1341
01:27:34,296 --> 01:27:37,788
Oh. I get it now.
1342
01:27:37,899 --> 01:27:41,767
You are a moral man
living in a world of moral relativity.
1343
01:27:41,870 --> 01:27:44,703
- It's just so quaint, so precious.
- Hey! Don't do that.
1344
01:27:44,806 --> 01:27:48,537
This is about my witness, right?
This is about you messing with my client,
1345
01:27:48,643 --> 01:27:51,510
my case and the rules of law
that govern our country!
1346
01:27:51,613 --> 01:27:53,080
- Our country?
- Yes!
1347
01:27:53,181 --> 01:27:56,309
I didn't figure you for a patriot,
Mr. Rohr, what with your blatant disregard
1348
01:27:56,451 --> 01:27:59,318
for the people's right to bear arms.
You know, the Second Amendment?
1349
01:27:59,421 --> 01:28:02,413
Is that why you're doing this?
To protect the Constitution, is that it?
1350
01:28:02,557 --> 01:28:04,957
Of course not. I'm in it to win.
Just like you are.
1351
01:28:05,060 --> 01:28:06,755
- Because that's what I was hired to do.
- Uh-huh.
1352
01:28:06,861 --> 01:28:11,525
- Everything else is colored bubbles.
- Colored bubbles? Colored bubbles?!
1353
01:28:11,633 --> 01:28:16,434
A system that calls for 12 people to sit
and listen to testimony of witnesses, fella!
1354
01:28:16,538 --> 01:28:20,406
And that includes my witness,
who you've disappeared!
1355
01:28:20,508 --> 01:28:24,274
If you're relying on testimony
to win this case, you've already lost it, fella!
1356
01:28:24,379 --> 01:28:27,871
You think this jury cares anything
about negligent distribution?
1357
01:28:27,983 --> 01:28:30,110
- Product liability?
- You bet your ass they do!
1358
01:28:30,218 --> 01:28:33,187
Oh, most of 'em can't even say the words,
let alone understand the meaning.
1359
01:28:33,288 --> 01:28:36,917
You think your average juror
is King Solomon? No!
1360
01:28:37,058 --> 01:28:39,424
He's a roofer with a mortgage.
He wants to go home
1361
01:28:39,527 --> 01:28:43,293
and sit in his Barcalounger
and let the cable TV wash over him.
1362
01:28:43,398 --> 01:28:46,925
And this man doesn't give a single,
solitary droplet of shit
1363
01:28:47,035 --> 01:28:50,334
about truth, justice or your American way.
1364
01:28:51,773 --> 01:28:55,174
- They're people, Fitch.
- My point, exactly.
1365
01:28:55,276 --> 01:28:58,973
You don't have an idea of
what I've been talking about, do you, sir?
1366
01:29:00,749 --> 01:29:02,546
What do you hope to achieve if you win?
1367
01:29:02,651 --> 01:29:03,743
What do you mean?
1368
01:29:03,885 --> 01:29:06,479
You gonna bring Jacob Wood
back to life? No.
1369
01:29:06,621 --> 01:29:10,614
You just ensure that his wife
goes to the cemetery in a better car.
1370
01:29:10,759 --> 01:29:14,160
And that the heel that she snaps
on the way to the graveside
1371
01:29:14,262 --> 01:29:18,198
belongs to a $1200 shoe.
You get your name in the paper.
1372
01:29:18,299 --> 01:29:22,793
But Jacob Wood
and all the other gun violence victims
1373
01:29:22,904 --> 01:29:25,634
remain rotting in their crypts.
1374
01:29:29,411 --> 01:29:31,845
You know what, Fitch?
1375
01:29:31,946 --> 01:29:34,039
- You're gonna lose.
- I doubt it.
1376
01:29:34,149 --> 01:29:37,346
Well, maybe not this case,
maybe not the next, but someday,
1377
01:29:37,485 --> 01:29:40,477
you know, someday.
I've seen it before with guys like you.
1378
01:29:40,622 --> 01:29:43,022
- You wanna know why?
- Why?
1379
01:29:43,124 --> 01:29:45,149
Because you cannot
carry that much contempt
1380
01:29:45,293 --> 01:29:48,387
without it becoming malignant,
until you're gonna be all alone
1381
01:29:48,496 --> 01:29:51,158
in a room full of shadows,
and all you're gonna have
1382
01:29:51,266 --> 01:29:55,032
is the memories of all those
people's lives you have destroyed.
1383
01:29:55,136 --> 01:29:57,866
That's a good story, Wendall.
1384
01:29:57,972 --> 01:30:00,406
But it's just further proof
of why you can't beat me.
1385
01:30:00,508 --> 01:30:04,205
Because you may be right...
1386
01:30:04,312 --> 01:30:08,043
but the thing of it is, I don't give a shit.
1387
01:30:08,149 --> 01:30:12,347
What's more... I never have.
1388
01:30:14,222 --> 01:30:16,452
(laughs) That suit.
1389
01:30:23,565 --> 01:30:25,931
- (man) Good evening, Wendall.
- George. Mason.
1390
01:30:29,704 --> 01:30:33,572
So... what's this about?
1391
01:30:36,811 --> 01:30:41,305
I'm going to need access
to the firm's emergency reserve.
1392
01:30:41,416 --> 01:30:42,183
- Emergency reserve?
- Yeah.
1393
01:30:42,183 --> 01:30:43,548
- Emergency reserve?
- Yeah.
1394
01:30:43,685 --> 01:30:46,620
- In what amount?
- Ten million.
1395
01:30:52,127 --> 01:30:57,861
Gentlemen, I've lost my footing in this trial.
1396
01:31:08,943 --> 01:31:10,433
(knock at door)
1397
01:31:10,545 --> 01:31:13,207
- Yeah?
- I'm looking for a David Lancaster.
1398
01:31:13,314 --> 01:31:14,474
You a bill collector?
1399
01:31:14,582 --> 01:31:17,142
I work for Dodge and I track people down
1400
01:31:17,285 --> 01:31:19,981
who have rebates
that they forgot to apply for.
1401
01:31:20,121 --> 01:31:24,353
I don't know where he went.
No forwarding address.
1402
01:31:24,459 --> 01:31:26,927
Wish I did, though. Got this letter for him.
1403
01:31:27,061 --> 01:31:30,861
- Kept it right here.
- Wow. Can I... can I take a look at that?
1404
01:31:32,567 --> 01:31:34,762
"Jeff Kerr, care of David Lancaster."
1405
01:31:34,869 --> 01:31:37,360
- You know Jeff Kerr?
- No.
1406
01:31:37,472 --> 01:31:40,805
"Professor Frank Phelan
at Bloomington University."
1407
01:31:40,909 --> 01:31:43,503
- Mm-hm.
- (clears throat)
1408
01:31:43,611 --> 01:31:48,708
You know I could maybe split the rebate
with you if you wanted to let me...
1409
01:31:48,817 --> 01:31:50,808
Jeff Kerr.
1410
01:31:52,453 --> 01:31:55,445
Jeff Kerr.
1411
01:31:55,590 --> 01:31:58,650
David Lancaster.
1412
01:31:58,793 --> 01:32:01,523
Lots of aliases.
1413
01:32:01,629 --> 01:32:04,860
Jeffrey Kerr.
1414
01:32:10,805 --> 01:32:13,399
Hello there, Jeffrey.
1415
01:32:16,744 --> 01:32:20,009
(Cable) So, as CEO of Vicksburg
Firearms, you were unaware
1416
01:32:20,114 --> 01:32:22,446
that your company's product
was being sold illegally?
1417
01:32:22,550 --> 01:32:27,510
- Yes, sir. Absolutely, sir.
- Mr. Jankle, are you a family man?
1418
01:32:27,655 --> 01:32:32,251
Yes, sir, I am. I have a son
and I have an eight-year-old grandson.
1419
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:34,419
Anything else you'd like to add?
1420
01:32:34,529 --> 01:32:36,656
The Second Amendment
1421
01:32:36,764 --> 01:32:39,790
permits every good citizen of
this country to keep and bear arms.
1422
01:32:39,901 --> 01:32:42,665
Now, we at Vicksburg Firearms,
we didn't write it.
1423
01:32:42,770 --> 01:32:45,500
But as long as it stands,
we're gonna continue
1424
01:32:45,607 --> 01:32:49,043
- to operate under its protections.
- Thank you, sir. Nothing further.
1425
01:32:49,143 --> 01:32:53,671
Counselor.
Mr. Rohr, do you care to cross?
1426
01:32:53,781 --> 01:32:56,750
- Yes, Your Honor.
- Proceed.
1427
01:33:00,488 --> 01:33:02,513
- Now, Mr. Jankle...
- Yes, sir.
1428
01:33:02,657 --> 01:33:04,887
The, uh, ad copy
used to sell the Performa 990,
1429
01:33:04,993 --> 01:33:08,292
- would you read it to the court, please?
- It's right there, Counselor.
1430
01:33:08,396 --> 01:33:11,263
Oh, but I think that the jury would like to
hear it from the head of the company here.
1431
01:33:11,366 --> 01:33:14,028
If you could say it,
starting with, "Also available in..."
1432
01:33:14,135 --> 01:33:16,626
"Also available in a print-resistant finish."
1433
01:33:16,738 --> 01:33:20,674
I see. Now, who in your mind, sir, might
be eager to purchase a Performa 990
1434
01:33:20,775 --> 01:33:25,678
semiautomatic assault-type weapon
in a fingerprint-resistant finish?
1435
01:33:25,780 --> 01:33:27,509
- Anybody.
- Anybody?
1436
01:33:27,615 --> 01:33:30,948
Fingerprints are 90% water.
Water corrodes metal. Metal rusts.
1437
01:33:31,085 --> 01:33:34,213
Wouldn't it be more appropriate
then to use the word "rustproof"
1438
01:33:34,355 --> 01:33:37,222
than "fingerprint-resistant" when
you're trying to sell this weapon
1439
01:33:37,325 --> 01:33:38,656
- to the general public?
- Well, you know,
1440
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:41,354
I didn't write the copy for that
advertisement, sir. I think you know that.
1441
01:33:41,462 --> 01:33:45,091
- Did you see it?
- (Cable) Objection: prejudicial.
1442
01:33:45,199 --> 01:33:47,724
- Sustained. Mr. Rohr.
- My apologies, Your Honor.
1443
01:33:47,835 --> 01:33:50,861
- Uh, now, Mr. Jankle?
- Yes, sir.
1444
01:33:50,972 --> 01:33:52,769
Tell me, sir, how much of
Vicksburg's profits come from
1445
01:33:52,874 --> 01:33:54,739
assault-type weapons, would you say?
1446
01:33:54,842 --> 01:33:57,174
Oh, I have to apologize to you, Mr. Rohr,
I do not know the answer.
1447
01:33:57,278 --> 01:33:59,109
I'm not familiar with that percentage.
1448
01:33:59,213 --> 01:34:02,478
But you are familiar with who buys
a weapon of this sort, aren't you, sir?
1449
01:34:02,583 --> 01:34:03,743
Well, the gun's intended
for recreational use.
1450
01:34:03,885 --> 01:34:05,409
Ah. For who?
Farmers or weekend sportsmen?
1451
01:34:05,553 --> 01:34:08,522
- Home protection.
- Or disgruntled day-traders?
1452
01:34:08,623 --> 01:34:09,920
- Objection, Your Honor.
- Sustained.
1453
01:34:10,024 --> 01:34:11,821
We sell these guns legally.
1454
01:34:11,926 --> 01:34:14,520
Oh, come on, Mr. Jankle, you know
that this gun is favored by criminals.
1455
01:34:14,629 --> 01:34:15,653
The statistics of your gun company
show that fact!
1456
01:34:15,763 --> 01:34:18,357
- Sir, that is up to law enforcement.
- I see. So that's not your problem.
1457
01:34:18,466 --> 01:34:19,990
- Why don't you just say it?
- Objection, Your Honor.
1458
01:34:20,101 --> 01:34:21,693
- Sustained.
- It is the government's responsibility!
1459
01:34:21,803 --> 01:34:23,464
Say it to the jury, sir,
that it's not your problem.
1460
01:34:23,571 --> 01:34:26,301
- Well, l...
- Say it to my client, Celeste Wood,
1461
01:34:26,407 --> 01:34:28,807
who lost her husband,
that it's not your problem.
1462
01:34:28,910 --> 01:34:31,538
- Tell it to the whole court...
- You amaze me, Mr. Rohr.
1463
01:34:31,646 --> 01:34:35,343
...that this Performa 990 with the
print-resistant finish is not your problem.
1464
01:34:35,450 --> 01:34:38,078
I stand on the Second Amendment,
goddammit!
1465
01:34:51,566 --> 01:34:53,898
Look, we've got damage-control strategies
1466
01:34:54,002 --> 01:34:55,970
and your testimony before cross
was more than strong.
1467
01:34:56,070 --> 01:35:00,268
Oh, you... you are the one that told me
denial was the route to take here.
1468
01:35:00,308 --> 01:35:02,276
- I was improperly prepped.
- Now, look, Mr. Jankle...
1469
01:35:02,377 --> 01:35:04,345
You get outta here.
1470
01:35:05,580 --> 01:35:08,606
Mr. Fitch, I looked into
the faces of those jurors,
1471
01:35:08,716 --> 01:35:10,013
I didn't see any friends sitting there.
1472
01:35:10,218 --> 01:35:11,685
Now where the hell are we
with securing my verdict?
1473
01:35:11,819 --> 01:35:14,014
It's a cat-and-mouse game.
We're about to change all that...
1474
01:35:14,155 --> 01:35:19,491
You just be a little more cat,
little less mouse.
1475
01:35:19,594 --> 01:35:22,825
- Yes, sir.
- (cell phone rings)
1476
01:35:30,938 --> 01:35:33,372
- Hello, Marlee.
- Hello, Rankin.
1477
01:35:33,474 --> 01:35:37,240
I'm ready to make a deal.
I'll meet your terms.
1478
01:35:37,345 --> 01:35:41,042
I'll pay you the money.
I wanna meet Nick Easter.
1479
01:35:41,149 --> 01:35:44,550
Won't happen.
Wendall doesn't need to meet him.
1480
01:35:44,685 --> 01:35:46,710
And besides,
you know he's sequestered.
1481
01:35:46,854 --> 01:35:51,882
Well, fine.
How about his pal Jeffrey Kerr?
1482
01:35:52,026 --> 01:35:54,620
Now we meet or there's no deal.
1483
01:35:54,729 --> 01:35:58,165
Nonnegotiable. What's it gonna be?
1484
01:37:16,344 --> 01:37:21,407
I hope you don't mind. I was waiting
so long, I made a sandwich.
1485
01:37:28,055 --> 01:37:33,721
It's a fine piece, Nick.
Longines hunter case, circa 1908.
1486
01:37:33,828 --> 01:37:36,353
- 1910, actually.
- (chuckles)
1487
01:37:36,464 --> 01:37:38,432
- You filming this?
- No, no, no.
1488
01:37:38,533 --> 01:37:41,525
I couldn't use it.
Neither of us wants a mistrial.
1489
01:37:41,636 --> 01:37:45,072
- No.
- Can we walk?
1490
01:37:45,173 --> 01:37:49,371
Our bus is leaving at 8:00 am,
so that gives us a little time together.
1491
01:37:51,779 --> 01:37:54,714
Marlee, please come out of the kitchen.
1492
01:37:54,815 --> 01:37:57,978
I'm not here to hurt you.
1493
01:37:58,119 --> 01:38:02,988
Please, sweetheart, sit down. Relax.
1494
01:38:03,090 --> 01:38:05,558
So, what? I'm supposed to convince you
that I have them, right?
1495
01:38:05,693 --> 01:38:08,753
Oh, l-I think you've probably
got them, or you will have.
1496
01:38:08,863 --> 01:38:12,663
- I just wanna know why.
- Money.
1497
01:38:12,767 --> 01:38:15,668
Safer ways for a sharp kid
like you to make money.
1498
01:38:15,770 --> 01:38:18,136
What's the real reason?
1499
01:38:18,239 --> 01:38:21,470
Business, politics, sports -
you tell me what isn't rigged.
1500
01:38:21,576 --> 01:38:23,976
I mean, is there even such a thing
as an objective jury, Mr. Fitch?
1501
01:38:24,078 --> 01:38:25,477
Not if I can help it.
1502
01:38:25,580 --> 01:38:28,378
Then why should the lawyers
and guys like you make all the profit?
1503
01:38:28,482 --> 01:38:32,441
- You don't have much faith in the law.
- I'm agnostic.
1504
01:38:32,553 --> 01:38:35,147
I knew there was something
I liked about you.
1505
01:38:36,824 --> 01:38:38,792
And Marlee?
1506
01:38:40,394 --> 01:38:42,385
I'll leave it to her to tell you her reasons.
1507
01:38:42,496 --> 01:38:46,330
- That's not what I'm talking about.
- What are you talking about?
1508
01:38:46,434 --> 01:38:48,493
How well do you know her?
1509
01:38:48,603 --> 01:38:51,037
Did you really bring me
out here to talk about her?
1510
01:38:51,138 --> 01:38:53,038
What's this about?
1511
01:38:53,140 --> 01:38:58,077
Well, tomorrow's the big day
and we need a little insurance.
1512
01:38:59,547 --> 01:39:02,277
So... let's talk.
1513
01:39:02,383 --> 01:39:06,683
Come on out here, sit down, we'll talk.
1514
01:39:08,256 --> 01:39:11,350
- I'll make you a sandwich.
- (groans)
1515
01:39:15,830 --> 01:39:17,297
(yells)
1516
01:39:32,647 --> 01:39:34,581
(groans)
1517
01:39:35,216 --> 01:39:36,683
(yells)
1518
01:39:48,229 --> 01:39:50,663
(yells)
1519
01:40:03,210 --> 01:40:04,336
(Fitch) I'm ready to pay the money.
1520
01:40:04,445 --> 01:40:07,676
I can have ten million
wire-transferred to the Caymans,
1521
01:40:07,782 --> 01:40:10,410
- subject to verification, of course.
- Of course.
1522
01:40:10,551 --> 01:40:13,452
But tell me, who have you got?
1523
01:40:13,554 --> 01:40:17,183
Fernandez, Deshazo, Grimes
and Dupree are in the bag.
1524
01:40:17,325 --> 01:40:19,657
Deets and Duke
pretty much follow the others.
1525
01:40:19,760 --> 01:40:23,389
- Herrera and Shaver are wild cards.
- No... Shaver's taken care of.
1526
01:40:23,497 --> 01:40:24,987
- Weese, too.
- Oh.
1527
01:40:25,099 --> 01:40:28,159
Herrera... I wouldn't worry about him.
1528
01:40:29,937 --> 01:40:35,432
- Are you gonna swing this my way?
- If you pay, yes. I will.
1529
01:40:35,543 --> 01:40:40,810
Good. Good. Tell Marlee
I'm ready to conclude our business.
1530
01:40:40,915 --> 01:40:43,076
Done.
1531
01:40:45,252 --> 01:40:50,087
- I must say I'm impressed, Mr. Kerr. I...
- Easter.
1532
01:40:50,191 --> 01:40:53,217
- Easter, correct.
- Yeah.
1533
01:40:53,361 --> 01:40:58,799
I didn't see you coming.
Obviously, I underestimated you.
1534
01:40:58,899 --> 01:41:01,925
And as a rule, I don't do that.
1535
01:41:03,437 --> 01:41:07,100
Make damn sure
you don't underestimate me.
1536
01:41:11,746 --> 01:41:15,273
I'm sure one of us will be in touch.
1537
01:41:15,383 --> 01:41:20,480
I have a feeling after tonight,
we're gonna be fast friends.
1538
01:41:25,659 --> 01:41:26,853
(sighs)
1539
01:41:26,961 --> 01:41:29,930
(phone rings)
1540
01:41:40,941 --> 01:41:42,704
Who is it?
1541
01:41:45,713 --> 01:41:47,544
Who is this?
1542
01:41:49,016 --> 01:41:51,917
Bet you didn't expect to
hear from me so soon.
1543
01:41:52,052 --> 01:41:54,452
Is this a bad time?
1544
01:41:58,125 --> 01:42:01,026
- No, not at all.
- Oh, good.
1545
01:42:03,397 --> 01:42:06,958
Listen, I just wanted you to know
your associate with the accent...
1546
01:42:07,067 --> 01:42:12,198
he won't be coming home tonight.
At least he won't be walking home.
1547
01:42:12,306 --> 01:42:14,672
Aah!
1548
01:42:14,775 --> 01:42:17,869
And the price just went up.
1549
01:42:17,978 --> 01:42:19,536
(groans)
1550
01:42:19,647 --> 01:42:22,707
15 million. Nonnegotiable.
1551
01:42:26,887 --> 01:42:28,855
Get some sleep, Rankin.
1552
01:42:28,989 --> 01:42:31,355
You're gonna need it.
1553
01:42:38,532 --> 01:42:41,501
(phone rings)
1554
01:42:42,970 --> 01:42:46,173
- Hey.
- Hey.
1555
01:42:46,173 --> 01:42:50,041
- What's wrong?
- Nothing, I just, uh...
1556
01:42:52,346 --> 01:42:54,871
I just wanted to hear your voice.
1557
01:42:54,982 --> 01:42:59,783
- You sure?
- Yeah, I'm sure.
1558
01:42:59,920 --> 01:43:02,787
- I want you to get some sleep.
- Yeah.
1559
01:43:02,890 --> 01:43:05,882
I miss you. Good night.
1560
01:43:13,367 --> 01:43:15,892
Today, lawyers Wendall Rohr
and Durwood Cable
1561
01:43:16,003 --> 01:43:19,734
will have their last chances
to strike the winning blow for their client
1562
01:43:19,840 --> 01:43:22,570
in the case of
Celeste Wood v. Vicksburg Firearms.
1563
01:43:22,676 --> 01:43:24,735
Closing arguments will begin shortly.
1564
01:43:24,845 --> 01:43:26,608
The jury has now heard all the evidence
in this landmark case...
1565
01:43:26,714 --> 01:43:28,909
(male reporter) It's been
a very highly charged trial.
1566
01:43:29,016 --> 01:43:30,574
The jury has been sequestered
for some time.
1567
01:43:30,684 --> 01:43:31,810
- This is a nightmare, man.
- This could be the day...
1568
01:43:31,952 --> 01:43:33,442
...that they finally get this case
and begin their deliberations...
1569
01:43:33,587 --> 01:43:36,078
(female reporter)... a high-stake decision
will soon be in the hands of the jury.
1570
01:43:36,223 --> 01:43:38,919
This decision could be a quick one,
1571
01:43:39,026 --> 01:43:43,326
with the jury delivering a verdict
perhaps by day's end.
1572
01:43:49,703 --> 01:43:54,333
All Jacob Wood and those ten
other people did, all they did wrong...
1573
01:43:54,441 --> 01:43:58,878
on that Monday morning, was to go to
work.
1574
01:43:58,979 --> 01:44:02,176
And there's gonna be another
shooting and another shooting
1575
01:44:02,249 --> 01:44:07,619
and it's not gonna let up...
until we demand a change.
1576
01:44:07,721 --> 01:44:10,918
You heard Mr. Garland Jankle,
1577
01:44:11,025 --> 01:44:16,224
the chief CEO of Vicksburg Firearms,
sit in that chair
1578
01:44:16,330 --> 01:44:18,924
and say to you that
what we do with his guns
1579
01:44:19,033 --> 01:44:21,433
is not his problem, and he's right.
1580
01:44:21,535 --> 01:44:24,026
You can make it his problem
with your verdict.
1581
01:44:24,138 --> 01:44:30,976
You may for the first time
make gun violence...
1582
01:44:31,078 --> 01:44:34,479
the gun industry's problem.
1583
01:44:34,582 --> 01:44:42,318
If you do, you are going to
see fewer senseless deaths.
1584
01:44:44,224 --> 01:44:48,923
Like my client's husband, Jacob Wood.
1585
01:45:04,244 --> 01:45:07,577
(recording of group singing)
1586
01:45:13,854 --> 01:45:16,948
- Make a big wish. Big wish!
- Big wish! Big wish!
1587
01:45:17,091 --> 01:45:18,149
Yeah!
1588
01:45:18,292 --> 01:45:20,852
- (applause)
- That's my boy.
1589
01:45:34,975 --> 01:45:36,910
Jeff had a real passion for the law.
1590
01:45:36,910 --> 01:45:40,347
He spent the summer after his first year
working on a trial
1591
01:45:40,347 --> 01:45:43,976
and the reality of how a big firm
actually practices law
1592
01:45:44,084 --> 01:45:46,484
just knocked some of the idealistic wind
right out of him.
1593
01:45:46,620 --> 01:45:50,647
The following spring,
after Gabby got her undergraduate degree,
1594
01:45:50,791 --> 01:45:53,760
- he dropped out and they left.
- Um, I'm sorry. Did you say Gabby?
1595
01:45:53,894 --> 01:45:57,728
Gabrielle Brandt. She was Jeff's girl
from back home in Gardner.
1596
01:45:57,831 --> 01:46:01,665
- Gardner, Indiana?
- Only one I know of.
1597
01:46:03,170 --> 01:46:05,400
(Cable) Jacob Wood, a man in his prime,
1598
01:46:05,506 --> 01:46:09,704
leaves behind a wife and little boy.
I mean, the sadness of that,
1599
01:46:09,810 --> 01:46:14,406
the incomprehension, that gives way
to anger. We must even the score
1600
01:46:14,515 --> 01:46:17,507
and not just those
that are directly affected, but all of us.
1601
01:46:17,618 --> 01:46:21,520
We all experience these emotions.
1602
01:46:21,622 --> 01:46:27,492
Which is precisely why the law exists.
To do what is just.
1603
01:46:27,594 --> 01:46:30,563
Now these families grieve
and we all grieve for them.
1604
01:46:30,664 --> 01:46:33,758
But that is all the law will allow us to do.
1605
01:46:33,867 --> 01:46:36,495
Doyle, where the hell are you?
1606
01:46:36,603 --> 01:46:41,336
Headed for exit 245. Some
backwater town in central Indiana.
1607
01:46:41,442 --> 01:46:44,775
- But I think I got a good lead on the girl.
- Well, move it along.
1608
01:46:44,878 --> 01:46:48,336
The judge is about to
give this thing to the jury. Shit.
1609
01:46:48,449 --> 01:46:48,982
Ladies and gentlemen,
you've heard the evidence
1610
01:46:48,982 --> 01:46:50,574
Ladies and gentlemen,
you've heard the evidence
1611
01:46:50,684 --> 01:46:54,450
and the arguments of counsel.
I will now give you some instructions,
1612
01:46:54,588 --> 01:46:56,453
after which we will hold recess for lunch,
1613
01:46:56,557 --> 01:46:58,684
and then you will begin
your deliberations.
1614
01:46:58,826 --> 01:47:01,920
(phone rings)
1615
01:47:11,739 --> 01:47:13,730
- Wendall Rohr.
- Hello, Wendall.
1616
01:47:13,841 --> 01:47:15,206
Well, hello, Marlee.
1617
01:47:15,309 --> 01:47:18,335
Good to hear your voice.
Did you come up with the money?
1618
01:47:18,445 --> 01:47:22,279
You know, it's amazing
how easy it is to procure $10 million.
1619
01:47:22,382 --> 01:47:27,513
It's an interesting exercise.
$10 million. Like it was nothing.
1620
01:47:27,654 --> 01:47:30,487
But, as bad as I wanna win this case,
1621
01:47:30,591 --> 01:47:34,027
and I do...
1622
01:47:34,161 --> 01:47:38,257
after 35 years of doing this, you know...
1623
01:47:38,365 --> 01:47:42,062
I think it's more important that I can
rest my head on the pillow tonight.
1624
01:47:42,169 --> 01:47:44,160
What are you saying?
1625
01:47:44,271 --> 01:47:47,900
I will take my chances.
I'm not giving you a dime. Not a dime.
1626
01:47:48,008 --> 01:47:51,102
Well, I am sorry about this
'cause you're giving it to Fitch.
1627
01:47:51,211 --> 01:47:55,011
I'm giving it to Fitch?
I'm gonna take my chances.
1628
01:48:09,763 --> 01:48:10,889
Hello. Hello there.
1629
01:48:10,998 --> 01:48:12,863
- I'm sorry to bother you.
- Hi.
1630
01:48:12,966 --> 01:48:15,332
Um, I'm thinking of buying
this house down here.
1631
01:48:15,435 --> 01:48:18,302
My wife and I have a three-year-old
and another one on the way.
1632
01:48:18,405 --> 01:48:21,169
Do you think this is
a good neighborhood for kids?
1633
01:48:21,275 --> 01:48:24,938
Oh, this is a great neighborhood
for kids. I raised my girls here.
1634
01:48:25,045 --> 01:48:26,535
- Oh, really?
- I sure did.
1635
01:48:26,647 --> 01:48:29,207
This man's life was taken from him,
these other people were hurt and killed,
1636
01:48:29,316 --> 01:48:32,308
and the big-ass gun company
made it happen by flouting the law.
1637
01:48:32,419 --> 01:48:34,216
Come on, Loreen, where does it end, huh?
1638
01:48:34,354 --> 01:48:37,619
All these folks suing for profit.
What next? Have a heart attack,
1639
01:48:37,724 --> 01:48:40,454
sue McDonald's? Sue my grocery store
'cause you went in there
1640
01:48:40,561 --> 01:48:42,222
- and bought some pork chops...
- Go on!
1641
01:48:42,329 --> 01:48:44,627
...now you got clogged arteries?
- Oh, brother, you've been smoking.
1642
01:48:44,731 --> 01:48:48,258
Guess what? It is still our right to
keep and bear arms. Remember that.
1643
01:48:48,368 --> 01:48:51,701
Well, Mr. Fitch, are we
concluding our business today or not?
1644
01:48:51,805 --> 01:48:54,239
Could you hold
forjust one minute, please?
1645
01:48:54,341 --> 01:48:55,399
One minute.
1646
01:48:58,879 --> 01:49:00,073
Doyle, give me something.
1647
01:49:00,247 --> 01:49:02,078
Well, I can't really talk
right now, sweetheart.
1648
01:49:02,149 --> 01:49:06,017
I met this nice lady and she's telling me
all about the neighborhood.
1649
01:49:06,153 --> 01:49:08,417
The jury has the case.
1650
01:49:08,555 --> 01:49:11,046
- There could be a verdict any second.
- I hear you, sweetheart.
1651
01:49:11,191 --> 01:49:14,388
I tell you what. I'll call you back
as soon as I get on the road, OK?
1652
01:49:14,494 --> 01:49:17,588
- Doyle.
- I love you, too. All right. Bye.
1653
01:49:17,698 --> 01:49:22,897
Word just in. Rohr's not paying. It's yours.
1654
01:49:23,003 --> 01:49:26,962
Marlee? Unhappy news, I hear.
1655
01:49:27,074 --> 01:49:29,542
Rohr has taken himself out of the game.
1656
01:49:29,643 --> 01:49:33,374
I thought maybe you might be inclined
to make a reduction in your selling price.
1657
01:49:33,480 --> 01:49:37,075
Look, Rankin, in 30 seconds
you're still gonna lose. Understand?
1658
01:49:37,184 --> 01:49:40,312
Now, do we have a deal or don't we?
1659
01:49:44,424 --> 01:49:47,154
We have a deal. I'm wiring the money.
1660
01:49:47,261 --> 01:49:51,493
Congratulations, Mr. Fitch.
You just bought yourself a verdict.
1661
01:49:51,598 --> 01:49:55,796
It's not our job to change the law.
It is our duty to serve it.
1662
01:49:55,903 --> 01:49:59,430
And the law says this guy Kevin Peltier
was responsible.
1663
01:49:59,539 --> 01:50:01,006
- Not the gun company.
- Right.
1664
01:50:01,108 --> 01:50:03,235
Yes, we as a people,
we are meant to serve the law,
1665
01:50:03,343 --> 01:50:05,538
but the law is also
meant to serve the people.
1666
01:50:05,646 --> 01:50:07,739
- That's right.
- I'm with you, Frank, all right?
1667
01:50:07,848 --> 01:50:09,816
(all overlapping)
1668
01:50:32,539 --> 01:50:34,905
Whoa, whoa. Ladies and gentlemen, whoa.
1669
01:50:35,008 --> 01:50:37,704
I think a preliminary vote here
would help us along
1670
01:50:37,811 --> 01:50:39,779
if nobody has anything new to say.
1671
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:41,677
- (man) Let's vote.
- I'd like to say something.
1672
01:50:41,782 --> 01:50:43,943
(scoffs) Couldn't be easy.
1673
01:50:44,051 --> 01:50:46,485
Hey, Frank, let him speak.
1674
01:50:50,991 --> 01:50:53,619
Well, I hope you like
lots of sugar in your iced tea.
1675
01:50:53,727 --> 01:50:56,025
- Oh, yes, ma'am, I surely do.
- Good.
1676
01:50:56,129 --> 01:50:59,189
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
1677
01:50:59,299 --> 01:51:01,961
- Are these your daughters?
- Mm-hm.
1678
01:51:02,069 --> 01:51:04,401
Gabrielle and Margaret.
1679
01:51:04,504 --> 01:51:08,201
They were Irish twins.
You know, just one grade apart.
1680
01:51:08,308 --> 01:51:10,469
Mm-hm.
1681
01:51:11,511 --> 01:51:13,843
Forgive me.
1682
01:51:13,947 --> 01:51:17,246
It's still hard to talk about.
1683
01:51:17,351 --> 01:51:19,216
I'm sorry?
1684
01:51:21,288 --> 01:51:23,051
Well, it was bad enough losing Margaret,
1685
01:51:23,190 --> 01:51:26,023
but it's been so long
since I've spoken to Gabby,
1686
01:51:26,126 --> 01:51:28,356
I just feel like I've lost them both.
1687
01:51:28,462 --> 01:51:34,992
Well, um, what happened?
Uh, how did Margaret pass away?
1688
01:51:35,102 --> 01:51:39,163
You're not from around here.
You wouldn't know about the shooting.
1689
01:51:39,272 --> 01:51:42,639
I don't think this case is about guns.
I think this case is about the law,
1690
01:51:42,743 --> 01:51:45,337
and like Frank says,
it's about serving the law.
1691
01:51:45,445 --> 01:51:48,539
But guns are involved and I don't know
anybody in the room or in the world
1692
01:51:48,648 --> 01:51:51,776
- who doesn't feel strongly about guns...
- Oh, please.
1693
01:51:51,918 --> 01:51:54,887
- What's wrong, Frank?
- I can guess which way you lean.
1694
01:51:55,022 --> 01:51:56,546
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
1695
01:51:56,690 --> 01:51:58,180
You've had an agenda
the whole time you've been here.
1696
01:51:58,325 --> 01:52:00,384
- (man) You got that right.
- You're the plaintiff's boy.
1697
01:52:00,494 --> 01:52:02,462
Hey, come on, Frank.
What are you saying?
1698
01:52:02,562 --> 01:52:04,086
- It's the truth.
- What are you saying?
1699
01:52:04,197 --> 01:52:06,165
- Let him speak.
- Well, what's the problem here?
1700
01:52:06,266 --> 01:52:09,360
They made a good product.
It worked. Case closed.
1701
01:52:09,469 --> 01:52:11,369
It's a little more complicated
than that, Frank.
1702
01:52:14,641 --> 01:52:17,735
A boy, James Pratt,
1703
01:52:17,844 --> 01:52:20,244
showed up at the high school
with some guns that he bought
1704
01:52:20,347 --> 01:52:24,181
off the street in Indianapolis
and he just started firing.
1705
01:52:24,284 --> 01:52:26,775
(sound of gunfire)
1706
01:52:26,887 --> 01:52:30,846
Yeah, I'm sorry the lady lost her husband.
I am, but that's life.
1707
01:52:30,991 --> 01:52:34,984
I mean, I know a lot of other people had
bad times, but they never sued anybody.
1708
01:52:35,128 --> 01:52:37,426
- Like who?
- Like buddies of mine. Lost their arms,
1709
01:52:37,531 --> 01:52:41,126
- their legs. Never got a thin dime.
- And they deserved better. You're right!
1710
01:52:41,234 --> 01:52:43,566
You bet I'm right. We're done here, Easter.
1711
01:52:43,670 --> 01:52:46,468
- Could we vote, please?
- That's not good enough.
1712
01:52:46,573 --> 01:52:48,507
- Let's vote.
- That's not good enough.
1713
01:52:48,608 --> 01:52:51,771
I wanna talk about the law.
I wanna talk about Celeste Wood.
1714
01:52:51,878 --> 01:52:55,211
I got a call from the school
and they said that something
1715
01:52:55,315 --> 01:52:58,648
had happened to Margaret.
That she had died.
1716
01:53:00,320 --> 01:53:02,788
- She doesn't deserve that money.
- Well, maybe she does,
1717
01:53:02,889 --> 01:53:05,050
maybe she doesn't.
But she deserves a few hours of our time.
1718
01:53:05,192 --> 01:53:07,023
- Can we vote, please?
- Yeah.
1719
01:53:07,127 --> 01:53:08,560
- Tell me why. Tell me why.
- I wanna vote.
1720
01:53:08,662 --> 01:53:10,630
Anybody else wanna vote?
Come on, I wanna vote.
1721
01:53:10,730 --> 01:53:11,697
- Tell me why.
- Well, I wanna vote.
1722
01:53:11,798 --> 01:53:13,129
- Does anyone else here...
- Let's vote.
1723
01:53:13,233 --> 01:53:15,098
- How does it work, Frank?
- (Lonnie) Pipe down, Easter.
1724
01:53:15,202 --> 01:53:17,193
- Tell me why.
- We all got problems here, don't we?
1725
01:53:17,304 --> 01:53:20,068
- Amen.
- All of us. But we don't get paid for it.
1726
01:53:20,173 --> 01:53:21,435
- She suffered!
- Hell, I suffered.
1727
01:53:21,541 --> 01:53:25,068
I worked my ass off 12 years
of crummy jobs for shit pay!
1728
01:53:25,178 --> 01:53:27,373
I have never asked anybody for a handout.
1729
01:53:27,481 --> 01:53:29,915
- She's not asking for a handout.
- That is bullshit and you know it.
1730
01:53:30,016 --> 01:53:32,712
She was with Jeff.
That's Gabby's boyfriend.
1731
01:53:32,853 --> 01:53:36,414
He told me that my girl, she froze.
1732
01:53:36,556 --> 01:53:41,425
She just stood there. It took seconds.
1733
01:53:41,528 --> 01:53:47,433
Jeff just kept saying, "I couldn't
reach her. I couldn't pull her down."
1734
01:53:47,534 --> 01:53:51,493
(sound of students screaming)
1735
01:53:51,605 --> 01:53:55,871
He always thought there was something
that he could have done.
1736
01:53:55,976 --> 01:53:57,000
(sound of gun cocking)
1737
01:53:57,110 --> 01:53:59,442
So what are we gonna tell Celeste Wood?
1738
01:53:59,546 --> 01:54:00,774
I don't know. I don't know
what we're gonna tell her.
1739
01:54:00,881 --> 01:54:03,816
"Life isn't fair"? Write that on a postcard?
Is that the best we've got?
1740
01:54:03,917 --> 01:54:07,580
I'll tell you what else. That lawyer can
show me all the home movies he wants.
1741
01:54:07,721 --> 01:54:10,189
I deserve a hell of a lot more
for what I've been through
1742
01:54:10,290 --> 01:54:12,520
than that woman out there.
I mean, forget her!
1743
01:54:12,626 --> 01:54:14,526
- What about the law?
- Fuck the law!
1744
01:54:14,628 --> 01:54:18,462
I don't care if the gun company
gave that guy an M-16
1745
01:54:18,565 --> 01:54:22,626
with his morning donut.
I'm not giving her a cent!
1746
01:54:26,239 --> 01:54:32,303
- That's bullshit, Frank. Bullshit.
- (Nick) Who's with Frank?
1747
01:54:34,981 --> 01:54:38,610
Yes, I'd like to report a robbery
in progress at Mardi Gras Costumes,
1748
01:54:38,752 --> 01:54:42,188
6510 Charter Street.
1749
01:54:43,557 --> 01:54:47,049
Maybe some of you
are afraid or intimidated.
1750
01:54:47,194 --> 01:54:49,992
Maybe some of you
are just out for yourselves.
1751
01:54:52,799 --> 01:54:57,930
Frank is right about me.
I'm the worst offender here.
1752
01:54:58,038 --> 01:55:02,065
I made up my mind about this case
before I stepped through that door.
1753
01:55:03,910 --> 01:55:07,141
But this trial's not about me.
It's not about you.
1754
01:55:07,247 --> 01:55:11,115
Now we owe it to Celeste Wood
to sit in this room
1755
01:55:11,218 --> 01:55:18,147
and deliberate the facts of the case
for as long as it takes.
1756
01:55:20,160 --> 01:55:23,027
Now if you don't mind,
there's some testimony I'd like to review.
1757
01:55:25,699 --> 01:55:27,530
Mr. Fitch?
1758
01:55:27,634 --> 01:55:29,261
- (boys laughing)
- Yeah?
1759
01:55:29,369 --> 01:55:31,860
- Don't wire the money.
- What? What's going on?
1760
01:55:31,972 --> 01:55:36,671
- Where are you?!
- I'm in Gardner. Gardner, Indiana.
1761
01:55:36,776 --> 01:55:39,142
- It's a setup.
- Gardner.
1762
01:55:42,482 --> 01:55:46,612
- (cop) Get it open!
- Oh, shit. We got company.
1763
01:55:46,753 --> 01:55:49,722
Take the network down now.
OK, people, pack it up, tear it down.
1764
01:55:49,856 --> 01:55:53,553
Now. This is not a test.
Clear your drives, wipe the screens.
1765
01:55:53,660 --> 01:55:56,060
Let's go. Let's go. Box all photos and files.
1766
01:55:56,162 --> 01:55:59,598
No monitors. Leave the monitors.
Code four, people.
1767
01:55:59,699 --> 01:56:00,893
- Mr. Fitch?
- (Lamb) 30 seconds!
1768
01:56:01,001 --> 01:56:03,299
Mr. Fitch, we really need to go, sir.
1769
01:56:05,272 --> 01:56:06,671
20 seconds!
1770
01:56:06,773 --> 01:56:08,331
Lamb, what the hell happened in Gardner?
1771
01:56:08,441 --> 01:56:10,341
1989. Gardner v. Blackwell Arms.
1772
01:56:10,443 --> 01:56:12,877
Town sued the gun manufacturer,
town lost.
1773
01:56:12,979 --> 01:56:15,379
Town went bankrupt.
Fitch worked the case.
1774
01:56:15,482 --> 01:56:18,918
You got it? Fitch worked the case.
1775
01:56:28,528 --> 01:56:31,656
...to hear the jury's decision.
1776
01:56:49,716 --> 01:56:53,516
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
have you reached a verdict?
1777
01:56:58,124 --> 01:56:59,250
We have, Your Honor.
1778
01:56:59,392 --> 01:57:02,122
Would you hand it to the bailiff, please?
1779
01:57:06,032 --> 01:57:08,728
Thank you, Bailiff.
1780
01:57:18,511 --> 01:57:22,140
In the matter of
Celeste Wood v. Vicksburg Firearms,
1781
01:57:22,248 --> 01:57:26,014
the jury finds for the plaintiff Celeste Wood.
1782
01:57:26,152 --> 01:57:29,417
They award special damages
in the amount of $1 million
1783
01:57:29,556 --> 01:57:31,854
and general damages
in the amount of $110 million.
1784
01:57:31,958 --> 01:57:34,119
- (spectators gasp)
- (woman screams)
1785
01:57:34,227 --> 01:57:37,355
- (applause)
- This court is still in session.
1786
01:57:37,464 --> 01:57:40,194
Court is in session. Order, please. Order.
1787
01:57:40,300 --> 01:57:44,031
- That's bullshit!
- That's enough. Court's adjourned.
1788
01:58:19,739 --> 01:58:22,640
When Judge Harkin read this verdict,
1789
01:58:22,742 --> 01:58:25,939
a spontaneous round of applause
from the entire courtroom. Obvious support
1790
01:58:26,045 --> 01:58:31,813
for the teary-eyed widow who waged
war on the entire gun industry...
1791
01:58:38,725 --> 01:58:41,990
(male reporter) No matter what the
anti-gun lobbyists say, or the NRA says,
1792
01:58:42,095 --> 01:58:47,158
on this day, in this courtroom,
the final word was given by the jury.
1793
01:58:47,267 --> 01:58:49,030
(female reporter) There have
been other lawsuits filed
1794
01:58:49,135 --> 01:58:51,000
against gun manufacturers in the past
1795
01:58:51,104 --> 01:58:56,132
and juries have traditionally
sided with the gun industry, until today.
1796
01:58:56,242 --> 01:59:00,474
The $ 110 million award, which
the jury handed Celeste Wood today,
1797
01:59:00,580 --> 01:59:02,411
could cripple the gun industry.
1798
01:59:02,515 --> 01:59:02,749
And to say it's been an uphill battle
for Mr. Rohr is an understatement.
1799
01:59:02,749 --> 01:59:07,311
And to say it's been an uphill battle
for Mr. Rohr is an understatement.
1800
01:59:07,454 --> 01:59:10,821
In fact, you might say it's been
a David and Goliath battle.
1801
01:59:10,924 --> 01:59:16,123
But today,
one gun industry giant has fallen.
1802
01:59:19,999 --> 01:59:22,968
(Nick) Ten years, Fitch.
1803
01:59:29,442 --> 01:59:33,139
They're gonna appeal, the gun company.
You know that, right?
1804
01:59:33,246 --> 01:59:37,307
Of course. But not with you.
1805
01:59:38,518 --> 01:59:40,645
You show up on another case, any case,
1806
01:59:40,787 --> 01:59:45,690
even a contested parking ticket,
this gets faxed to the IRS.
1807
01:59:45,792 --> 01:59:49,228
And the Justice Department,
the Federal Board of Judicial Review.
1808
01:59:49,329 --> 01:59:54,892
- You're out. Retired as of today.
- (chuckles)
1809
01:59:55,001 --> 01:59:57,868
Gardner, Indiana.
1810
01:59:59,506 --> 02:00:03,033
- School shooting.
- He remembers.
1811
02:00:03,142 --> 02:00:05,440
Blackwell Arms.
1812
02:00:05,545 --> 02:00:09,345
(laughs) The town really thought
they had that one, didn't they?
1813
02:00:11,050 --> 02:00:13,041
We did have it.
1814
02:00:13,152 --> 02:00:15,313
Now what?
1815
02:00:15,455 --> 02:00:18,856
What on earth are you gonna do
with all that money, huh?
1816
02:00:18,958 --> 02:00:22,655
- $15 million, that changes people.
- Yeah, well, that's what we're hoping.
1817
02:00:22,762 --> 02:00:26,664
See, back home, the victims' families
could really use that money.
1818
02:00:26,766 --> 02:00:29,929
- Good-bye, Fitch.
- Well, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
1819
02:00:30,036 --> 02:00:32,231
How did you swing 'em, huh?
1820
02:00:32,338 --> 02:00:35,398
How'd you swing 'em your way?
I hear you got ten votes.
1821
02:00:35,508 --> 02:00:39,069
- How'd you do that?
- I didn't swing anybody.
1822
02:00:39,178 --> 02:00:43,080
I just stopped you from stealing the thing.
1823
02:00:43,182 --> 02:00:48,347
We let 'em vote their hearts.
That means you lose. Enjoy your drink.
1824
02:00:48,488 --> 02:00:52,083
What, do you think you can
just walk away from this? Huh?
1825
02:00:52,225 --> 02:00:55,092
And I'm betting that the two of you,
you can't stop!
1826
02:00:55,194 --> 02:00:58,630
Because if you did, what would you have?!
1827
02:00:58,731 --> 02:01:00,961
Nothing!
1828
02:01:01,067 --> 02:01:03,001
Nothing!
1829
02:01:49,549 --> 02:01:53,576
That's why we're gonna have lunch.
We're celebratin', that's why.
1830
02:01:53,720 --> 02:01:55,620
- Do you know why we're celebrating?
- Yeah.
1831
02:01:55,722 --> 02:01:57,280
We are very happy today.
1832
02:01:57,423 --> 02:01:59,653
Celeste, Henry, go on inside,
get me an extra order of cornbread.
1833
02:01:59,759 --> 02:02:02,250
Get 'em that table, Milton.
Just gonna be one minute.
1834
02:02:02,362 --> 02:02:04,330
- You got it.
- Thank you.
1835
02:02:36,829 --> 02:02:39,798
I wanna go home.
1836
02:02:42,335 --> 02:02:46,396
OK. Let's go.
1837
02:03:02,355 --> 02:03:02,555
(blues)
1838
02:03:02,555 --> 02:03:05,319
(blues)
