Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Downloaded From www.AllSubs.org
2
00:00:01,100 --> 00:00:02,700
It's a reasonable settlement offer
3
00:00:02,701 --> 00:00:05,101
1.5 million plus 500 hundred thousand severance
4
00:00:05,102 --> 00:00:07,302
Plus you sign a confidentiality agreement
5
00:00:07,303 --> 00:00:08,803
That might put a little crimp in my plant
6
00:00:08,804 --> 00:00:10,404
To pen a Tell-All-Book?
7
00:00:10,505 --> 00:00:14,505
With at least five chapters about how my Zire
Motors expos� cost me my anchor desk
8
00:00:16,306 --> 00:00:17,606
Well that's the thing
9
00:00:18,007 --> 00:00:19,807
My company didn't fire him
10
00:00:20,708 --> 00:00:23,108
I know because I have the email he wrote resigning
11
00:00:23,209 --> 00:00:26,209
He quit, so why don't I just offer him 2 million dollars?
12
00:00:26,210 --> 00:00:28,510
Because it's still less than what a trial wind up costing you
13
00:00:28,811 --> 00:00:29,911
Sam Russell won't settle
14
00:00:31,012 --> 00:00:31,912
Eli won't let him
15
00:00:31,913 --> 00:00:32,713
How do you know?
16
00:00:33,414 --> 00:00:34,514
I know Eli
17
00:00:34,515 --> 00:00:37,315
Personally, I think you should reject this offer and go to trial
18
00:00:37,716 --> 00:00:40,116
If for no other reason than I
don't want to take all this stuff down
19
00:00:40,817 --> 00:00:44,617
Hopefully among all that stuff there's a
way to get around that email I sent
20
00:00:44,618 --> 00:00:46,218
I'm not interested in getting around it
21
00:00:46,319 --> 00:00:50,419
You didn't resign Sam, you simply
formalized their defact of firing of you
22
00:00:50,420 --> 00:00:52,120
It's called constructive termination
23
00:00:52,121 --> 00:00:56,321
Basically they are arguing that demoting
Sam was tantamount to firing him
24
00:00:56,322 --> 00:00:57,722
Except I didn't demote him
25
00:00:57,723 --> 00:01:00,523
My news director moved him to another time slot
26
00:01:00,524 --> 00:01:02,624
Which is exactly what we need you to say on the sand
27
00:01:02,625 --> 00:01:04,625
I don't have time to take the stand, I have a company to run
28
00:01:04,626 --> 00:01:06,426
Find the time Mr. Buckley, look
29
00:01:06,927 --> 00:01:13,727
No jury will find Baywest Media sympathetic
if its own CEO can't be bothered to tell the story
30
00:01:13,728 --> 00:01:16,228
You have a compelling story. You tried to tell the truth
31
00:01:16,229 --> 00:01:19,529
To corporate power and you ended
up getting exiled to 5 am
32
00:01:19,530 --> 00:01:24,430
Went from covering neoracist to reporting
about fender benders and the 101
33
00:01:24,431 --> 00:01:26,931
You're angry Sam and you have every reason to be
34
00:01:26,932 --> 00:01:28,532
But if the jury sees that anger
35
00:01:29,033 --> 00:01:29,833
We're dead
36
00:01:29,834 --> 00:01:31,934
Don't worry I won't come off angry
37
00:01:31,935 --> 00:01:34,035
Because I'm not, I'm concerned
38
00:01:34,036 --> 00:01:37,236
They banished me because of a story
they thought was critical to their advertisers
39
00:01:37,237 --> 00:01:39,237
You think I am the only anchor in
the country with that problem?
40
00:01:39,238 --> 00:01:40,738
I'm not doing this because I need the money
41
00:01:40,739 --> 00:01:44,539
I'm doing it because my entire career has
been about bringing the truth to light
42
00:01:45,340 --> 00:01:47,640
They want to take away my anchor, that's fine
43
00:01:48,441 --> 00:01:50,141
I'll do it from the witness box
44
00:01:50,742 --> 00:01:52,342
Alright, big day tomorrow
45
00:01:52,343 --> 00:01:53,943
Get a good night sleep
46
00:01:53,944 --> 00:01:55,244
Is that what you'll be doing?
47
00:01:55,245 --> 00:01:58,845
No I'll be writing Boudoir questions
and an opening statement
48
00:02:00,346 --> 00:02:03,046
And, drinking a lot of coffee
49
00:02:05,847 --> 00:02:06,247
Eli
50
00:02:06,548 --> 00:02:08,048
Will you excuse me for a moment?
51
00:02:08,048 --> 00:02:10,548
I think I'm about to cameo in my own shorts and sandals movie
52
00:02:11,749 --> 00:02:15,949
I heard you had your eccentricities but
this isn't exactly making me swell of confidence
53
00:02:15,950 --> 00:02:17,550
Don' worry. I won't bill you for the time
54
00:02:43,451 --> 00:02:47,751
That reputation you got for eccentricity
might be a little understated
55
00:02:50,352 --> 00:02:55,252
Don't tell me. You want me to start looking
into circus related workman cups claims
56
00:02:55,553 --> 00:02:58,653
No! Just find out what gladiators or ancient Rome or
57
00:02:58,654 --> 00:03:00,554
Latin maybe that have to do with the Russell case
58
00:03:00,555 --> 00:03:03,655
Oh! Should that'll be cinch, a --- so you numb score
59
00:03:03,656 --> 00:03:05,456
Do you want me to call Dr. Chen for you?
60
00:03:05,457 --> 00:03:06,257
No
61
00:03:06,258 --> 00:03:07,058
Why not?
62
00:03:07,059 --> 00:03:09,159
You have the vision he inteprets it, isn't that how it works?
63
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,860
When we're speaking to each other, which we're not
64
00:03:10,861 --> 00:03:12,261
Just tell me what this means to you?
65
00:03:12,262 --> 00:03:15,762
Ancient Rome, two gladiators and more
gore than in An Inconvenient Truth
66
00:03:15,763 --> 00:03:18,263
It is and inconvenient truth I don't do vision voodoo
67
00:03:18,264 --> 00:03:22,464
Chen is the one you take that stuff to, it's bad
enough you make me do all the paper work
68
00:03:22,465 --> 00:03:23,265
Fine
69
00:03:25,166 --> 00:03:27,966
Any luck getting those documents Maggie
hightailed out of Sonoma with?
70
00:03:27,967 --> 00:03:29,367
And a good morning to you too
71
00:03:29,368 --> 00:03:33,368
It would be a good morning if we had
Baywest internal memos about our client
72
00:03:33,369 --> 00:03:34,869
I mean it's not like we are going on trial today
73
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:36,470
No, wait, we are
74
00:03:36,471 --> 00:03:39,371
I have a motion to compel locked and
loaded, it should be a slam duck
75
00:03:39,372 --> 00:03:41,072
Then why isn't Maggie playing by the rules?
76
00:03:41,073 --> 00:03:41,973
I have no idea
77
00:03:41,974 --> 00:03:43,574
Maggie is usually very big with the rules
78
00:03:43,575 --> 00:03:44,775
So you don't know what's gotten into her?
79
00:03:46,876 --> 00:03:51,376
Off the top of your head do you foresee
gladiators having any significance to our case?
80
00:03:51,477 --> 00:03:53,977
Don't you have an acupuncturist entertainer for this sort of thing?
81
00:03:53,978 --> 00:03:54,878
I'm not speaking to him
82
00:03:55,279 --> 00:03:56,279
What about your brother?
83
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:56,980
Nate neither
84
00:03:56,981 --> 00:03:59,481
Well you should, if you don't want to talk to your acupuncturist fine
85
00:03:59,482 --> 00:04:00,582
But you should always talk to family
86
00:04:00,783 --> 00:04:02,783
Good morning Eli, Taylor
87
00:04:02,784 --> 00:04:03,884
Good morning
88
00:04:04,585 --> 00:04:08,085
I just uh... I just need a muffin
89
00:04:08,186 --> 00:04:10,086
Uh... there are no muffins
90
00:04:10,087 --> 00:04:11,287
Sir
91
00:04:10,988 --> 00:04:14,988
Oh, well then... I'll just, uh...
92
00:04:14,989 --> 00:04:16,489
It's fine, I was just leaving anyway
93
00:04:20,490 --> 00:04:21,390
Everything OK?
94
00:04:22,191 --> 00:04:23,691
Just a little family's fray, we'll be fine
95
00:04:23,992 --> 00:04:24,792
OK
96
00:04:24,793 --> 00:04:28,193
Well, I'm here should you feel a need to...
97
00:04:28,194 --> 00:04:31,294
Much as I appreciate you offer to be my personal Dr. Feld, Eli
98
00:04:31,295 --> 00:04:33,895
By now what you should be worrying about is your case
99
00:04:35,396 --> 00:04:35,996
Yes of course
100
00:04:35,997 --> 00:04:37,597
What happened to you have to talk to family?
101
00:04:37,598 --> 00:04:39,198
I meant you and your family
102
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:40,799
My circumstances are different
103
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,100
Different how?
104
00:04:42,101 --> 00:04:44,001
Hey sweetie! Ready for trial?
105
00:04:44,002 --> 00:04:44,802
Ready for documents
106
00:04:44,803 --> 00:04:46,603
Theft of evidence is a felony
107
00:04:46,604 --> 00:04:49,704
And refusal to produce it to opposing
counsel is an ethics violation
108
00:04:49,705 --> 00:04:51,905
Right, cause you really want to lecture me on ethics here
109
00:04:54,506 --> 00:04:56,306
What he's done to her to piss her off?
110
00:04:56,307 --> 00:04:58,807
I have no idea but she's the one who
offscounded with our documents
111
00:04:58,808 --> 00:05:00,008
Well, technically they're my documents
112
00:05:00,009 --> 00:05:02,809
Actually not even technically, they belong to my client
113
00:05:02,810 --> 00:05:05,110
Which your client is required to let me see
114
00:05:06,611 --> 00:05:09,011
Obviously it's no secret that you're
sleeping with the enemy, huh?
115
00:05:09,412 --> 00:05:11,112
No the secret is I made a baby with her
116
00:05:11,313 --> 00:05:12,413
Mmm, you think?
117
00:05:12,414 --> 00:05:14,214
Oh, right
118
00:05:14,215 --> 00:05:18,115
Which reminds me to remind you that we've
got a 3D ultrasound tomorrow, 2.30 sharp
119
00:05:18,116 --> 00:05:20,016
You know on 3D I'm gonna be able to tell the gender
120
00:05:20,017 --> 00:05:21,617
We agreed to wait!
121
00:05:21,618 --> 00:05:24,418
And besides, whatever it has it's
going to be about milimeter big
122
00:05:24,419 --> 00:05:26,719
Not if it takes after its daddy
123
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,120
Leaving Sonoma without saying goodbye it was one thing
124
00:05:31,121 --> 00:05:32,921
Not returning my calls that's another
125
00:05:32,922 --> 00:05:34,022
And I get all that
126
00:05:34,023 --> 00:05:34,723
I'm so very glad
127
00:05:35,724 --> 00:05:38,524
Things are awkward between us,
it's uncomfortable because of...
128
00:05:39,425 --> 00:05:41,325
Is that american sign language for sleeping together?
129
00:05:41,326 --> 00:05:45,226
My point is, freezing me out that's one
thing but withholding evidence?
130
00:05:45,227 --> 00:05:46,627
That's totally something else
131
00:05:46,628 --> 00:05:48,128
There are other people involved here
132
00:05:48,129 --> 00:05:49,829
Right, my clients
133
00:05:49,830 --> 00:05:52,530
And they have an attorney willing
to fight to protect their interests
134
00:05:52,531 --> 00:05:57,131
Look, bottomline I'll show you those files over
my dead body or when a judge orders me too
135
00:05:57,132 --> 00:05:58,432
Whichever comes first
136
00:05:59,233 --> 00:06:02,133
Then let's go see the judge and we'll
table the dead thing for later
137
00:06:02,134 --> 00:06:02,834
Let's!
138
00:06:02,835 --> 00:06:05,835
This is ridiculous, the documents we've requested are totally relevant
139
00:06:05,836 --> 00:06:09,636
But Ms. Dekker has refused to comply with three
document requests and a motion to compel
140
00:06:09,637 --> 00:06:10,837
That's true Your Honor
141
00:06:10,838 --> 00:06:13,638
Then why haven't you produced the
documents as requested, Ms. Dekker?
142
00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:17,339
Oh, I'm sorry, I meant it's true I haven't
complied with Mr. Stone's discovery request
143
00:06:17,340 --> 00:06:21,440
But that's because there's nothing in them
that requires me to give him the documents
144
00:06:21,441 --> 00:06:24,141
Yes there is, it's called the rules of civil procedure
145
00:06:24,142 --> 00:06:27,242
If we actually had produced the documents you'd have seen that Jennifer Cantino
146
00:06:27,243 --> 00:06:30,243
West Media's inhouse counsel was copied on every single one of them
147
00:06:30,243 --> 00:06:35,043
Which means they're privileged, which means we have no
obligation to let Mr. Stone or anyone else see them
148
00:06:35,044 --> 00:06:38,744
You can't retroactively make something
privilege by CCing counsel after the fact
149
00:06:38,745 --> 00:06:40,445
There's nothing retroactive about it
150
00:06:40,446 --> 00:06:43,646
All the documents were dated before
Sam Russell got moved to 5 AM
151
00:06:43,647 --> 00:06:47,347
Which is the event Mr. Stone claims
was tantamount to firing Mr. Russell
152
00:06:47,348 --> 00:06:47,848
Your Honor
153
00:06:47,849 --> 00:06:48,749
She's got you Mr. Stone
154
00:06:48,750 --> 00:06:49,750
She doesn't have me
155
00:06:49,751 --> 00:06:50,351
No kidding
156
00:06:50,352 --> 00:06:52,252
And that the attorney client privilege is not a...
157
00:06:52,253 --> 00:06:57,653
Mr. Stone, unless you can prove Ms. Cantino is
not an attorney, not West Media's attorney
158
00:06:57,654 --> 00:07:01,854
Or that the memos were written to
her after Russell got fired or quit
159
00:07:01,855 --> 00:07:02,655
She's got you
160
00:07:04,056 --> 00:07:06,256
So, any other pre-trial motions?
161
00:07:06,257 --> 00:07:07,157
I have one Your Honor
162
00:07:07,758 --> 00:07:09,658
I move to disqualify Mr. Stone
163
00:07:09,659 --> 00:07:10,659
You what?
164
00:07:10,660 --> 00:07:11,960
On what grounds?
165
00:07:11,961 --> 00:07:13,161
He thinks he's a prophet
166
00:07:23,662 --> 00:07:28,062
Several months ago, Mr. Stone stood in your courtroom
and told you he received messages from the Almighty
167
00:07:28,063 --> 00:07:31,663
I believe my exact words were
Higher Power, perhaps Divine
168
00:07:31,664 --> 00:07:35,264
And last year he predicted the Silver
Terrace earthquake to some public notoriety
169
00:07:35,265 --> 00:07:39,765
Which actually supports the idea that
I could be, you know, special
170
00:07:39,766 --> 00:07:42,266
Which is an unfair advantage in a jury trial
171
00:07:42,267 --> 00:07:46,567
What juror wouldn't be swayed by the fact that
the plaintiff's counsel has God as one of his clients
172
00:07:46,568 --> 00:07:47,668
She's right
173
00:07:48,269 --> 00:07:49,269
She is?
174
00:07:49,270 --> 00:07:54,170
In so far as the personal details of the trial
attorneys, may prejudice the jury
175
00:07:54,171 --> 00:07:54,471
Your Honor
176
00:07:54,472 --> 00:07:58,272
So we should make sure that they don't find out that
Ms. Dekker and I slept together last week
177
00:07:58,273 --> 00:07:59,473
That is totally inapropriate
178
00:07:59,474 --> 00:08:01,074
You dog! I knew it was just a matter of time
179
00:08:01,075 --> 00:08:03,375
So if you think of it she's also
sleeping with opposing counsel
180
00:08:03,376 --> 00:08:04,076
That's irrelevant!
181
00:08:04,077 --> 00:08:05,477
And now she's carrying his unborn child
182
00:08:05,478 --> 00:08:07,678
And did I mentioned that Mrs. Wethersby and I used to be engaged?
183
00:08:07,679 --> 00:08:13,179
So basically what you're saying is I'm the only person
in this room who's not having sex with one of you?
184
00:08:14,780 --> 00:08:18,680
And that Ms. Dekker's motion might be motivated
more by personal issues than legal ones
185
00:08:18,681 --> 00:08:19,481
You wish
186
00:08:19,482 --> 00:08:22,482
Enough! Save it for your inevitable reality show
187
00:08:22,483 --> 00:08:28,283
If Mr. Stone does work for God, I'm not gonna
chance damnation by disqualifying him
188
00:08:28,284 --> 00:08:36,584
But if I hear any of you utter one more word about prophets,
prophecies or specially who's sleeping with whom
189
00:08:36,585 --> 00:08:40,685
I will hold you in contempt,
I swear... to Mr. Stone's boss
190
00:08:44,486 --> 00:08:50,186
I've worked at KNIB for twelve years. Until recently we
have a number one news show in San Francisco
191
00:08:50,187 --> 00:08:51,487
We did about an 18 share
192
00:08:51,488 --> 00:08:54,388
What about around the time you offered
Mr. Russell the morning show
193
00:08:54,389 --> 00:08:55,889
We were down to an 11.3
194
00:08:55,890 --> 00:08:59,390
We were hemorraging viewers and
rank third among the affiliates
195
00:08:59,391 --> 00:09:00,291
So you fired him
196
00:09:00,292 --> 00:09:02,792
No... I offered him the morning news
197
00:09:02,793 --> 00:09:05,293
It's a less competitive time slot
198
00:09:05,294 --> 00:09:07,094
Frankly, I thought Sam would be grateful
199
00:09:08,395 --> 00:09:09,395
Thank you
200
00:09:13,096 --> 00:09:16,996
You uh... offered Sam the morning news
201
00:09:16,997 --> 00:09:19,097
The day after you killed one of his stories
202
00:09:19,098 --> 00:09:23,298
An expose on unsafe working
conditions at a local Zire Motors plant
203
00:09:23,299 --> 00:09:24,299
I didn't kill anything
204
00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:25,100
We'll get to that
205
00:09:25,101 --> 00:09:29,001
What relationship, if any, does KNIB have with Zire Motors?
206
00:09:29,002 --> 00:09:30,602
Zire's one of our advertisers
207
00:09:30,603 --> 00:09:33,303
Nearly every major auto manufacturer is
208
00:09:33,304 --> 00:09:36,504
But Zire is your station's third largest advertiser
209
00:09:36,505 --> 00:09:41,205
How upset would you say Zire was
with Mr. Russell's expose, scale it 1 to 10
210
00:09:41,206 --> 00:09:41,906
I wouldn't know
211
00:09:41,907 --> 00:09:43,507
But you pulled the piece anyway just in case
212
00:09:43,508 --> 00:09:46,908
I didn't pull it. It got bumped by stories I deemed more important
213
00:09:46,909 --> 00:09:48,609
What was the more important piece you had that night?
214
00:09:49,810 --> 00:09:50,710
I don't recall
215
00:09:50,711 --> 00:09:52,211
I had a feeling you wouldn't so I looked it up
216
00:09:54,812 --> 00:09:58,912
Uh, you replaced the Zire Motors report with a public safety story
217
00:09:59,513 --> 00:10:02,213
Bilingual bandit strikes the bay area
218
00:10:03,514 --> 00:10:05,714
We felt it was the more compelling story
219
00:10:05,715 --> 00:10:08,615
I've never been held up in two languages
so I'll take your word for it
220
00:10:08,616 --> 00:10:11,516
Why didn't you air the Zire Motors' report the next night?
221
00:10:11,517 --> 00:10:13,617
Did the bilingual bandit strike again?
222
00:10:13,618 --> 00:10:18,418
No, but news cycles are getting shorter and shorter
We can't stay competitive with cable and internet
223
00:10:18,419 --> 00:10:20,219
By airing yesterday's news
224
00:10:20,220 --> 00:10:23,420
Oh I forgot, hazardous working conditions are so last year
225
00:10:26,221 --> 00:10:31,421
Alright for Russell I think we should send in the
Magster after what she did to Stone yesterday
226
00:10:31,522 --> 00:10:33,622
I can't afford not to use a little pitbull
227
00:10:33,623 --> 00:10:35,923
Plus the jury eats her innocent act right up
228
00:10:35,924 --> 00:10:37,924
You know I'm sitting right here, don't you?
229
00:10:39,625 --> 00:10:40,925
Sorry, I should take this
230
00:10:40,926 --> 00:10:42,126
Hi sweetie
231
00:10:42,127 --> 00:10:45,427
Yeah take all the time you want, it's
not like we're in trial here or anything
232
00:10:45,428 --> 00:10:47,928
Look, I can't find my keys, I'm gonna be late, alright?
233
00:10:47,929 --> 00:10:50,329
Uh, and tell the nurse when you get there if she can sign us in
234
00:10:50,330 --> 00:10:53,130
Listen, we uh... have a strategy meeting
235
00:10:53,131 --> 00:10:53,931
Well so do I!
236
00:10:53,932 --> 00:10:57,332
But I'm not going! I mean we only get to see our fetus in 3D once!
237
00:10:57,333 --> 00:10:59,033
I thought you were excited about this!
238
00:10:59,034 --> 00:11:02,134
I am, it's just a bad time, I don't think I should leave
239
00:11:02,135 --> 00:11:05,435
Listen, I am really, really sorry
240
00:11:05,436 --> 00:11:06,836
I just can't make it today
241
00:11:06,837 --> 00:11:09,137
I'm one of two lawyers on our side
242
00:11:09,138 --> 00:11:13,838
You've enough to feel the baseball team but somehow
I can make it, you know, because it's important to me
243
00:11:14,038 --> 00:11:20,738
It's important to me too. I have to triage, I can't move
this meeting but you can get the nurse to burn me a DVD
244
00:11:20,739 --> 00:11:23,739
Right, I forgot how babies can me time-shifted
245
00:11:24,340 --> 00:11:28,140
The media has changed. The news
division used to be a public service
246
00:11:28,141 --> 00:11:31,041
Something to broadcast your deed in
exchange for using the public airwaves
247
00:11:31,042 --> 00:11:33,042
Now it's just another way to make a buck
248
00:11:33,043 --> 00:11:33,943
Objection!
249
00:11:33,944 --> 00:11:37,244
She's about to point out how that doesn't
seem related to you leaving the station
250
00:11:37,745 --> 00:11:38,945
It's related
251
00:11:38,946 --> 00:11:41,646
Because news has become a profit center
252
00:11:41,647 --> 00:11:43,247
And I threatened the station's profits
253
00:11:43,248 --> 00:11:44,648
With the Zire Motors' piece?
254
00:11:44,649 --> 00:11:48,549
I was demoted to 5 AM drive time time
one day after they killed that story, so...
255
00:11:48,550 --> 00:11:49,750
You tell me Mr. Stone
256
00:11:54,151 --> 00:11:55,951
What's a cue score?
257
00:11:55,952 --> 00:11:59,852
It's a way of measuring an on-air
personality's familiarity and appeal
258
00:11:59,853 --> 00:12:02,953
But it surprised you to learn that your cue score
has been in decline for the past two years?
259
00:12:02,954 --> 00:12:07,454
I'm assuming since you're probably not less familiar
to people it was because you became less appealing
260
00:12:07,455 --> 00:12:08,255
Objection!
261
00:12:08,256 --> 00:12:09,756
Woah, I'll... I'll put it another way
262
00:12:09,757 --> 00:12:10,957
What's more likely?
263
00:12:10,958 --> 00:12:13,358
A conspiracy to keep Sam Russell away from an anchor desk...
264
00:12:13,359 --> 00:12:17,559
Or a desire to replace him with someone
who can pull in a larger audience?
265
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,259
You made my point for me, Ms. Dekker
266
00:12:19,260 --> 00:12:21,260
In the days of Cronkite and Muro
267
00:12:21,261 --> 00:12:25,261
Decisions were not made based on cue scores and sharepoints
268
00:12:25,262 --> 00:12:29,862
You're right, Muro's show was cancelled because it lost its sponsor
269
00:12:33,663 --> 00:12:35,963
It's like she went back to law school when I wasn't paying attention
270
00:12:35,964 --> 00:12:38,964
Don't underestimate the ambition of a woman scorned
271
00:12:38,965 --> 00:12:39,865
What does that mean?
272
00:12:39,966 --> 00:12:40,866
Are you kidding?
273
00:12:40,867 --> 00:12:43,267
Oh, you think she's out to get me because I...
274
00:12:43,268 --> 00:12:47,768
Got her! Yeah you motivated her to beat you in ways
that go way beyond the normal courtroom asswipping
275
00:12:47,769 --> 00:12:52,969
So all last year, I was trying to figure out how to make her a
better lawyer and the whole time I should've just slept with her
276
00:12:53,170 --> 00:12:55,070
My loyal fit soldiers
277
00:12:55,871 --> 00:12:56,471
How did it go today?
278
00:12:56,472 --> 00:12:57,472
Just great - Not great
279
00:12:57,473 --> 00:13:00,673
She's right, somewhere between great and not so much
280
00:13:00,674 --> 00:13:03,974
Sam's testimony wasn't exactly the grand slam we were counting on
281
00:13:04,875 --> 00:13:06,875
That's uh... unfortunate
282
00:13:08,176 --> 00:13:10,676
You make unfortunate sound so much worse than unfortunate
283
00:13:11,277 --> 00:13:13,877
It's nothing, something we can discuss after the trial
284
00:13:13,878 --> 00:13:17,878
Sir, we're partners. I'm not sure keeping secrets
is gonna do either one of us any good
285
00:13:19,479 --> 00:13:20,979
I didn't want to say anything to either of you
286
00:13:20,980 --> 00:13:23,680
We're already... operating under enough pressure
287
00:13:23,681 --> 00:13:24,381
What's wrong?
288
00:13:24,382 --> 00:13:26,482
I just got off the phone with our accountants
289
00:13:26,483 --> 00:13:31,183
We were treading water before the financial
crisis made getting a line of credit difficult
290
00:13:31,184 --> 00:13:31,984
What are you saying?
291
00:13:32,785 --> 00:13:36,485
That if we don't win the Russell case, and win big
292
00:13:36,486 --> 00:13:39,586
We'll be joining Mr. Russell on the unemployment line
293
00:13:49,887 --> 00:13:51,087
Matt!
294
00:13:51,088 --> 00:13:52,088
Hi!
295
00:13:52,989 --> 00:13:55,689
I might still be sleeping but I'm pretty sure
you didn't stay here last night
296
00:13:55,690 --> 00:13:59,190
I let my self in. Hope you don't mind, I wanted to surprise you
297
00:13:59,191 --> 00:14:00,991
With bluberry pancakes?
298
00:14:00,992 --> 00:14:01,592
Yeah
299
00:14:02,593 --> 00:14:05,693
It's an incredibly good smelling apology
300
00:14:05,694 --> 00:14:06,994
Tastes even better
301
00:14:09,695 --> 00:14:10,595
I am sorry
302
00:14:10,596 --> 00:14:15,596
I wanted to be there, I should've been there, I just
felt weird bailing out of my team, you know?
303
00:14:15,597 --> 00:14:17,597
In the middle of the world series I get it
304
00:14:17,798 --> 00:14:20,798
They're the Yankees and I'm playing for the Red Sox
305
00:14:20,799 --> 00:14:26,099
Well, not exactly because the Yankees and the Red Sox
had never played each other in the World Series, but...
306
00:14:26,100 --> 00:14:27,700
Anyway, it's just a trial
307
00:14:27,701 --> 00:14:28,501
Yeah
308
00:14:29,502 --> 00:14:32,302
You do know your client is not facing the death penalty here, right?
309
00:14:32,303 --> 00:14:34,403
Not my client, my firm
310
00:14:36,404 --> 00:14:38,104
You can't use this, OK?
311
00:14:38,105 --> 00:14:41,105
This is boyfriend-girlfriend confidence, OK?
312
00:14:41,106 --> 00:14:43,206
Two-people-who-made-a-baby-together privilege
313
00:14:43,207 --> 00:14:44,507
I must have missed that class in lawschool
314
00:14:44,508 --> 00:14:46,208
What's going on?
315
00:14:46,709 --> 00:14:48,109
The new firm is sinking
316
00:14:48,110 --> 00:14:51,010
We are in massive debt... we can't get credit
317
00:14:51,011 --> 00:14:55,411
We need an infusion of cash and the only way we
can do that is a huge win in the Russell case
318
00:14:55,412 --> 00:14:57,612
AKA a miracle
319
00:14:57,613 --> 00:14:59,313
Jeez!
320
00:14:59,314 --> 00:15:00,214
Are you OK?
321
00:15:00,215 --> 00:15:02,615
You mean aside from being pregnant and about to being unemployed?
322
00:15:02,616 --> 00:15:03,816
Yeah
323
00:15:03,817 --> 00:15:05,217
I'm so sorry
324
00:15:05,218 --> 00:15:09,018
Look, I wasn't gonna mention this but since
you're kind of opening the door here
325
00:15:09,019 --> 00:15:11,319
P and K has an opening for family lawyer
326
00:15:11,820 --> 00:15:14,120
When Wethersby Stone goes down
327
00:15:14,121 --> 00:15:16,721
If it goes down
328
00:15:16,722 --> 00:15:20,022
There are about a hundred other firms I could work at that
329
00:15:20,023 --> 00:15:22,023
Don't employ the father of my baby
330
00:15:22,024 --> 00:15:23,924
But they probably won't hire you in your current condition
331
00:15:23,925 --> 00:15:27,125
Which would be sexist and detestable
332
00:15:27,126 --> 00:15:29,226
Posner and Klein is just detestable
333
00:15:29,227 --> 00:15:31,527
No, I'd rather be stay-at-home mom
334
00:15:31,528 --> 00:15:33,428
Hey, I work for that detestable firm, remember?
335
00:15:33,429 --> 00:15:35,429
Yeah, I know. I spend most days trying to forget that
336
00:15:38,130 --> 00:15:39,730
It's an impossible situation
337
00:15:39,731 --> 00:15:42,531
When the internet and 24/7 cable news started
338
00:15:42,532 --> 00:15:46,232
The recession and credits anomies threatening to finish
339
00:15:46,333 --> 00:15:50,433
Hard choices have to be made if evening
news of any strive is gonna survive
340
00:15:50,434 --> 00:15:52,434
Including pandering to advertisers?
341
00:15:52,435 --> 00:15:55,835
Neither Baywest nor its affiliates have ever pandered to anyone
342
00:15:55,836 --> 00:15:57,536
Including Zire Motors
343
00:15:57,537 --> 00:16:01,137
Which paid Baywest Media 3 million dollars last year alone
344
00:16:01,138 --> 00:16:02,238
In ad revenue
345
00:16:02,239 --> 00:16:04,739
Which buys the right to advertise not editorialize
346
00:16:04,740 --> 00:16:10,240
So Sam Russell's contemption that the evening
news is driven by corporate interest
347
00:16:10,241 --> 00:16:11,441
Is offensive
348
00:16:11,442 --> 00:16:13,342
And completely unfounded
349
00:16:13,343 --> 00:16:15,743
What about moving him to the 5 AM traffic and weather slot?
350
00:16:15,744 --> 00:16:17,644
One of the hard choices I letted to earlier
351
00:16:17,645 --> 00:16:21,845
But evening news ratings have gone up
5 points since, so it's not one I regret
352
00:16:27,346 --> 00:16:30,446
It must have been difficult for you to find a worthy replacement
353
00:16:30,447 --> 00:16:34,747
For three-time Dupont, two-time Peabody
award winning journalist Sam Russell?
354
00:16:34,847 --> 00:16:38,647
It's been a challenge but we have a great
deal of confidence in Kimberly Chaves
355
00:16:38,648 --> 00:16:40,648
I've seen a few of her segments, I can see why
356
00:16:42,649 --> 00:16:48,949
Cardiff fainted from toxic chemicals during a sunless spray tan
session because the spray guns tubes weren't properly cleaned
357
00:16:48,950 --> 00:16:53,550
But Ashley didn't let that stop her from attending
her son's and daughter's foundation benefit
358
00:16:53,551 --> 00:16:54,951
At the San Francisco Zoo
359
00:16:56,552 --> 00:16:59,652
Well, I know I'm gonna cancel my spray tan appointment this afternoon
360
00:16:59,653 --> 00:17:04,153
All local affiliates fill their lineup with some
fluff pieces. It's not that hard to find them
361
00:17:04,354 --> 00:17:08,854
No, but what is becoming increasingly hard to
find at your news station is any real news
362
00:17:08,855 --> 00:17:10,755
What's considered real news is a matter of opinion
363
00:17:10,756 --> 00:17:12,656
You're right. Let's use a clear standard
364
00:17:12,657 --> 00:17:17,457
How many investigated reports has Kimberly Chaves done on
your corporate sponsors since replacing Sam Russell?
365
00:17:17,458 --> 00:17:20,658
Off the top of my head I... I don't remember
366
00:17:20,659 --> 00:17:23,959
That's surprising since zero is a pretty easy number to remember
367
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,060
You also probably don't remember what
the top story was on your competitors'
368
00:17:27,061 --> 00:17:30,861
Programs the night Kimberly aired her hard-hitting spraytan expose
369
00:17:31,961 --> 00:17:35,261
It was a story about how your parent
company CEO was indicted for stock fraude
370
00:17:36,762 --> 00:17:37,862
You were brilliant!
371
00:17:37,863 --> 00:17:39,263
Thank you!
372
00:17:39,264 --> 00:17:44,664
You totally supported the emerging theory that if I sleep with
someone it endows them their superior courtroom skills
373
00:17:44,665 --> 00:17:46,965
I think I'm beginning to understand the problem you have with women
374
00:17:54,966 --> 00:17:56,366
Ciao, Bella!
375
00:17:59,767 --> 00:18:01,067
Excuse me!
376
00:18:01,068 --> 00:18:04,668
Is this uh... Am I in Rome?
377
00:18:04,669 --> 00:18:06,669
Che si, Roma, Roma!
378
00:18:06,670 --> 00:18:09,270
- Italian -
379
00:18:11,771 --> 00:18:13,471
Maggie... hey!
380
00:18:17,572 --> 00:18:18,572
Eli
381
00:18:18,573 --> 00:18:20,073
What are you...?
382
00:18:22,074 --> 00:18:23,574
So what was that about?
383
00:18:23,575 --> 00:18:24,675
Another vision?
384
00:18:24,676 --> 00:18:30,376
Rome again. Modern day this time... and Maggie
was there and I couldn't get to her
385
00:18:30,377 --> 00:18:32,477
Maybe because you already did back in Sonoma
386
00:18:32,478 --> 00:18:41,178
Hmm... OK... Shouldn't have slept with her but , there was wine
and I've been dealing with some stuff
387
00:18:41,179 --> 00:18:42,579
And you love her
388
00:18:42,580 --> 00:18:45,880
OK, maybe it's not love yet but it's something
389
00:18:45,881 --> 00:18:47,881
Yeah, it's called platonic affection
390
00:18:49,782 --> 00:18:50,182
What?
391
00:18:50,183 --> 00:18:54,783
Eli, why are you the only person who doesn't seem to
be aware that you feel something for Maggie?
392
00:18:54,784 --> 00:18:59,784
OK, maybe it's not love but it's definitely not platonic affection
393
00:18:59,785 --> 00:19:01,585
You two belong together
394
00:19:01,586 --> 00:19:04,386
It's obvious to everybody else except you
395
00:19:05,887 --> 00:19:12,287
OK... maybe... what if Maggie was just available
396
00:19:12,288 --> 00:19:15,188
I've been feeling very alone lately
397
00:19:15,189 --> 00:19:16,689
You know?
398
00:19:16,690 --> 00:19:20,190
Like there's, there's no one for the guy with the divine calling
399
00:19:20,191 --> 00:19:24,491
I think there is, Eli. I think she's been right in front
of you the entire time, you just haven't seen it
400
00:19:24,492 --> 00:19:27,592
It's like the aneurism woke up every part of you
401
00:19:27,593 --> 00:19:28,893
Except your heart
402
00:19:32,794 --> 00:19:33,794
So what do I do?
403
00:19:34,795 --> 00:19:35,995
Talk to her
404
00:19:40,896 --> 00:19:41,596
Can we talk?
405
00:19:41,597 --> 00:19:43,097
All rise!
406
00:19:43,098 --> 00:19:44,098
Apparently not!
407
00:19:48,399 --> 00:19:49,399
Be seated
408
00:19:49,900 --> 00:19:50,700
Alright
409
00:19:51,301 --> 00:19:52,601
Next witness
410
00:19:53,702 --> 00:19:55,502
The defense calls Jesse Bates
411
00:19:55,503 --> 00:19:59,303
Uh, Your Honor, Jesse Bates is not on their witness list
412
00:19:59,304 --> 00:20:02,904
I listed three former KNIB employees as John Doe witnesses
413
00:20:02,905 --> 00:20:05,605
Ms. Bates was a producer at NIB for thirteen years
414
00:20:05,606 --> 00:20:06,206
Your Honor
415
00:20:06,207 --> 00:20:07,407
Overruled counsel
416
00:20:07,408 --> 00:20:09,908
I'll give you more time to prepare if you want
417
00:20:14,909 --> 00:20:16,909
You're here under supina, aren't you Ms. Bates?
418
00:20:16,910 --> 00:20:21,210
Yes, I enjoyed the Sheriff's visit to my home very much, thank you
419
00:20:21,211 --> 00:20:22,811
Seek to treat as hostile
420
00:20:22,812 --> 00:20:23,812
Granted
421
00:20:23,813 --> 00:20:26,613
Did you produce Sam Russell's piece on Zire Motors?
422
00:20:26,614 --> 00:20:28,214
Yes
423
00:20:28,215 --> 00:20:30,815
So you would be in a position to know
whether that piece had any relationship
424
00:20:30,816 --> 00:20:33,516
To the decision to move Mr. Russell to the morning show
425
00:20:34,316 --> 00:20:35,316
I really don't know
426
00:20:35,317 --> 00:20:36,417
Let's guess then
427
00:20:37,618 --> 00:20:40,618
The news director Mr. Church moved Sam the next day
428
00:20:40,619 --> 00:20:45,319
But didn't Mr. Church proposed to Sam a move to
the morning show a full six months earlier?
429
00:20:46,220 --> 00:20:48,320
Before the Zire piece was even investigated?
430
00:20:49,721 --> 00:20:51,021
Is there a point here?
431
00:20:51,022 --> 00:20:56,622
Well only that if Sam Russell really believed that being
moved to 5 AM was the same as getting fired...
432
00:20:56,623 --> 00:20:59,523
He would've stopped showing up for work six months earlier
433
00:21:00,323 --> 00:21:02,223
But he didn't, did he?
434
00:21:08,624 --> 00:21:11,724
You're not an attorney, so you probably don't
know why this would be important
435
00:21:11,725 --> 00:21:13,425
But you know what would've been helpful?
436
00:21:13,426 --> 00:21:16,226
Knowing that the thing that we rested your entire case on
437
00:21:16,227 --> 00:21:19,327
The idea that moving you to 5 AM was as good as firing you
438
00:21:19,328 --> 00:21:22,428
Was discussed the good six months before you quit!!
439
00:21:22,429 --> 00:21:24,529
Being discussed is a little different than being done
440
00:21:24,530 --> 00:21:25,330
Semantics!
441
00:21:25,331 --> 00:21:29,031
Lawyers and judges and apparently news anchors care about them
442
00:21:29,032 --> 00:21:30,032
But you jurists don't
443
00:21:30,033 --> 00:21:32,133
To them it looks like you quit!
444
00:21:32,134 --> 00:21:35,734
Which is a little detrimental to our client that you got fired
445
00:21:35,735 --> 00:21:42,135
Right, I forgot. A jury is just 12 people too stupid to get
out of jury duty, incapable of parsing distinctions
446
00:21:42,136 --> 00:21:45,036
Incapable of thinking for themselves.
You know what you sound like Eli?
447
00:21:45,037 --> 00:21:46,537
A trial attorney trying to win
448
00:21:46,538 --> 00:21:50,838
Baywest Media: sorry Sam that story is just
gonna go right over the public's head
449
00:21:50,839 --> 00:21:56,139
Sorry Sam, but they're just not going to understand that,
sorry Sam it's just too darn confusing Sam
450
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,040
I have a theory... you could say I'd bet my whole career on it
451
00:22:00,041 --> 00:22:02,841
I think people are only as dumb as we treat them
452
00:22:02,842 --> 00:22:05,942
I think people only act like morons if they're treated like morons
453
00:22:05,943 --> 00:22:07,343
What do you think?
454
00:22:09,644 --> 00:22:12,444
I think Taylor and I have a long night ahead of us
455
00:22:16,645 --> 00:22:17,845
I'll let you get to it then
456
00:22:23,346 --> 00:22:25,446
They could hear you on the first floor
457
00:22:25,447 --> 00:22:30,647
I would tell you that berating clients is bad for
business but that would imply we have any business
458
00:22:30,648 --> 00:22:31,848
Sorry, we had a set back
459
00:22:31,849 --> 00:22:35,749
Oh... maybe I can help brainstorm a solution
460
00:22:35,750 --> 00:22:38,050
Perhaps, bring in a fresh perspective
461
00:22:38,051 --> 00:22:39,251
We're fine - we're great
462
00:22:42,352 --> 00:22:43,052
Right
463
00:22:43,653 --> 00:22:44,753
Of course
464
00:22:44,754 --> 00:22:48,054
Don't worry, we'll find a rabbit to pull here
465
00:22:57,055 --> 00:23:01,355
Mmhh... a little more of that artic wind and the
polar bears might have a home again
466
00:23:01,356 --> 00:23:02,856
I don't want to talk about it, OK?
467
00:23:02,857 --> 00:23:06,857
What could be so bad for you to treat him like that
when his firm is about three inches from belly up?
468
00:23:06,858 --> 00:23:09,758
How about chasing my mother out of town and
lying to me about it for 20 years?
469
00:23:09,859 --> 00:23:11,259
OK, that's bad enough
470
00:23:12,660 --> 00:23:14,060
I'm so sorry, are you OK?
471
00:23:14,061 --> 00:23:17,361
I fluctuate. Luckily I've got Matt to take it out on
472
00:23:18,662 --> 00:23:20,262
I guess you're right to be angry
473
00:23:23,563 --> 00:23:26,563
I recently found out that someone was responsible for my dad's death
474
00:23:27,464 --> 00:23:29,264
It's been little hard to get over
475
00:23:29,265 --> 00:23:31,365
Why do I sense a but coming on?
476
00:23:31,866 --> 00:23:36,266
But, more than anyone I know, Jordan's
been trying to change who he was
477
00:23:36,267 --> 00:23:38,267
I'm afraid it's too little too late comes to mind
478
00:23:38,268 --> 00:23:41,368
You know, if he'd just had told me all this years ago
479
00:23:41,369 --> 00:23:45,969
When I still needed a mother, I would've been furious but at
least there would've been time to fix things, you know?
480
00:23:45,970 --> 00:23:47,370
And now...
481
00:23:47,371 --> 00:23:49,671
My mother... lives a thousand miles away
482
00:23:50,572 --> 00:23:55,272
It's been decades... I think the window of oportunity has closed
483
00:23:58,073 --> 00:23:59,673
The window of oportunity
484
00:24:02,674 --> 00:24:04,174
Care to run that by me again?
485
00:24:04,175 --> 00:24:08,975
Happily Your Honor, the other day you ruled that we couldn't
review the Baywest documents that we requested because
486
00:24:08,976 --> 00:24:10,776
They were protected by attorney-client privilege
487
00:24:10,777 --> 00:24:11,677
Because they are
488
00:24:11,678 --> 00:24:16,178
Because you said that all the documents were
dated before Sam Russell was moved to 5 AM
489
00:24:16,179 --> 00:24:18,679
But yesterday Ms. Bates altered that timeline
490
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,280
Now it's obvious that the documents were
written after the 5 AM move was proposed
491
00:24:22,281 --> 00:24:24,081
We really should be thanking you actually
492
00:24:24,082 --> 00:24:26,582
The documents were still copied to in-house counsel
493
00:24:26,583 --> 00:24:28,883
After apparently the wheels were put in motion
494
00:24:28,884 --> 00:24:33,284
Ms. Wethersby was right when she said you can't
retroactively make something privilege
495
00:24:33,285 --> 00:24:38,585
Make sure those documents are delivered to Wethersby
Stone and Associates by end of business today
496
00:24:38,586 --> 00:24:39,886
Now get out of here
497
00:24:42,087 --> 00:24:43,287
This is huge!
498
00:24:43,288 --> 00:24:46,288
Easy Taylor, we don't know if there's
anything in there that's going to help us
499
00:24:46,289 --> 00:24:49,889
If there wasn't Maggie would've just produced them if for
no other reason than to waste our time reviewing them
500
00:24:49,890 --> 00:24:52,190
Posner and Klein just delivered your documents
501
00:24:52,191 --> 00:24:52,991
That was fast
502
00:24:52,992 --> 00:24:56,292
I know... I thought it would take them
forever just to unload the truck
503
00:24:56,293 --> 00:24:57,293
Unload the truck?
504
00:24:57,294 --> 00:24:59,294
How many documents could there be?
505
00:25:01,595 --> 00:25:03,295
What was that you said about wasting our time?
506
00:25:03,296 --> 00:25:04,696
I can't believe you would do this!
507
00:25:04,697 --> 00:25:06,897
Let me guess! You got the boxes
508
00:25:06,898 --> 00:25:08,798
The judge ordered you to produce those documents
509
00:25:08,799 --> 00:25:09,899
Which we did
510
00:25:09,900 --> 00:25:11,600
No, you hid them in a ton of crap!
511
00:25:11,601 --> 00:25:13,101
Well that's one interpretation
512
00:25:13,102 --> 00:25:14,602
And that's just more crap, you know?
513
00:25:14,603 --> 00:25:18,103
Is this how your new firm does business Matt?
Is this how you do business?
514
00:25:18,104 --> 00:25:20,204
We're in trial Taylor, it's just tactics
515
00:25:20,205 --> 00:25:24,505
Circumventing a court order to hide
evidence isn't a tactic, it's illegal
516
00:25:24,506 --> 00:25:28,206
And as morally ambiguous as you pretend to be
there was a time you knew the difference
517
00:25:28,207 --> 00:25:30,007
OK, that's fair. I'll own that
518
00:25:30,008 --> 00:25:31,308
But?
519
00:25:31,309 --> 00:25:35,009
But, and I wouldn't be floating this if I
weren't safely eight cityblocks away,
520
00:25:35,010 --> 00:25:37,410
This anger's a bit of an overreaction
521
00:25:37,411 --> 00:25:39,911
Is it possible some of it's debt related?
522
00:25:39,912 --> 00:25:44,012
Yes, it is debt related you know what? It's
related to the kind of dad you're going to be
523
00:25:44,013 --> 00:25:46,113
Which is related to the kind of person you are
524
00:25:46,113 --> 00:25:47,613
That's not fair
525
00:25:47,614 --> 00:25:50,714
I don't think you've got much credibility
right now when it comes to fairness, Matt
526
00:25:54,315 --> 00:25:56,315
What are we even looking for, Eli?
527
00:25:56,316 --> 00:26:00,316
The box that says seek which smoking gun document in here?
528
00:26:00,317 --> 00:26:01,917
It'd be nice if they were that obvious about it
529
00:26:01,918 --> 00:26:05,618
We need some kind of system and some more
manpower, perhaps hire some temps
530
00:26:06,719 --> 00:26:09,119
I don't think that's gonna be necessary
531
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:13,420
This is the one
532
00:26:14,821 --> 00:26:17,521
Do you recall writing an email to Ryan Church?
533
00:26:17,522 --> 00:26:21,522
He's the news director of one of my affiliates.
I recall writing hundreds of emails to him
534
00:26:21,523 --> 00:26:22,723
How about this one?
535
00:26:24,524 --> 00:26:26,924
If you could... read it aloud, please
536
00:26:26,925 --> 00:26:31,925
Church, heard about Russell's autoplant story,
needless to say Zire is not throwing him a parade
537
00:26:34,526 --> 00:26:36,226
Take care of the problem, DB
538
00:26:36,227 --> 00:26:40,527
I guess since Zire motors only purchased
the right to advertise not editorialize
539
00:26:40,628 --> 00:26:42,628
You just threw in the problem solving for free
540
00:26:45,529 --> 00:26:51,029
Mr. Buckley, can you read the portion of this email where
you specifically asked Mr. Church to fire Mr. Russell?
541
00:26:51,030 --> 00:26:53,330
No, because I never did
542
00:26:54,831 --> 00:26:58,331
So what was the problem with Zire
Motors that you wanted Mr. Church to fix?
543
00:26:58,332 --> 00:27:01,632
If it would help I could have the judge remind
you what the penalties are for perjury
544
00:27:07,733 --> 00:27:08,833
The problem was Sam
545
00:27:08,834 --> 00:27:10,434
What about him? Specifically
546
00:27:12,935 --> 00:27:16,935
Zire wanted assurance Sam wouldn't keep pushing his story
547
00:27:17,636 --> 00:27:20,936
I guess Sam wouldn't have much of a
reason to for the 5 AM traffic report, huh?
548
00:27:25,337 --> 00:27:26,937
Eli, don't let your window close
549
00:27:27,338 --> 00:27:28,238
What?
550
00:27:29,439 --> 00:27:31,039
Do you think it's open now?
551
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,740
She can't be too happy with me after what I did back in there
552
00:27:33,741 --> 00:27:37,241
Which is why you need to do this now before she's
gotten too much scar tissue over her wounds
553
00:27:37,242 --> 00:27:40,342
You know I slept with her, right?
I didn't hit her with a baseball bat
554
00:27:41,343 --> 00:27:42,043
Go!
555
00:27:48,644 --> 00:27:49,344
Come on!
556
00:27:49,345 --> 00:27:49,845
Hey!
557
00:27:49,846 --> 00:27:50,446
Come here
558
00:27:53,347 --> 00:27:55,747
Aooh! My wrist is fine thanks!
559
00:27:55,748 --> 00:27:57,748
Sorry but... we have to talk
560
00:27:57,749 --> 00:27:59,849
No, you want to talk, a slight distinction
561
00:27:59,850 --> 00:28:00,750
Yeah, right! I want to talk
562
00:28:00,751 --> 00:28:02,451
So, all you got to do is listen
563
00:28:03,552 --> 00:28:04,452
OK?
564
00:28:05,453 --> 00:28:11,753
Firstly, I'm... Look I'm sorry about Sonoma... I just...
565
00:28:13,054 --> 00:28:17,654
What we did... it was... it was wonderful. It was great
566
00:28:19,355 --> 00:28:20,255
And I'm glad we did it
567
00:28:21,456 --> 00:28:25,456
On the next morning I just... I had to think about my feelings
568
00:28:26,557 --> 00:28:33,257
Specially in light of your feelings which you told me... are substantial
569
00:28:33,158 --> 00:28:35,758
Were... substantial
570
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:36,360
What?
571
00:28:36,361 --> 00:28:40,261
I tried... every conceivable way to get over you
572
00:28:40,262 --> 00:28:43,362
I got engaged... I left the firm
573
00:28:43,363 --> 00:28:49,363
Never in a million years would I think that sleeping
together would actually... help me get over you
574
00:28:52,364 --> 00:28:53,464
So thank you
575
00:28:54,965 --> 00:28:56,365
You gave me closure
576
00:29:06,666 --> 00:29:14,266
So why have you been so um... why things
have been so personal... with the case
577
00:29:14,267 --> 00:29:16,367
No, it's not personal! I'm trying to win Eli
578
00:29:16,368 --> 00:29:21,468
I can't beat you and be friends with you at the same time.
I can't multitask like that
579
00:29:23,069 --> 00:29:25,969
But after I beat you we can go for coffee
580
00:29:25,970 --> 00:29:26,970
Catch up
581
00:29:29,071 --> 00:29:31,471
Yeah... best friends
582
00:29:31,472 --> 00:29:35,172
Yeah... exactly
583
00:30:04,473 --> 00:30:12,773
In a minute, Baywest's lawyer is gonna stand here and
she's going to remind you how Sam Russell quit his job
584
00:30:12,774 --> 00:30:16,974
But the reality is you cannot quit a job
that's already been taken away from you
585
00:30:18,175 --> 00:30:23,675
Sam Russell was removed from his job
anchoring the Bay area evening news
586
00:30:23,676 --> 00:30:25,676
That's indisputable
587
00:30:25,677 --> 00:30:27,077
It's uncontested
588
00:30:27,678 --> 00:30:32,178
But the fact is that Sam lost his job much earlier than that
589
00:30:33,879 --> 00:30:37,079
He's been loosing it bit by little bit for years
590
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:42,380
When the news division at Baywest Media
became part of the entertainment division
591
00:30:42,381 --> 00:30:47,481
When the wall between the boardroom and the
newsroom grew so thin as to become nonexistent
592
00:30:47,482 --> 00:30:54,582
And when television journalism became just
something else to fill time between commercials
593
00:30:54,583 --> 00:31:01,383
And yes, when his corporate bosses decided that if they
couldn't shut him up then they would force him out
594
00:31:03,484 --> 00:31:04,284
And they did
595
00:31:05,485 --> 00:31:08,385
Sam Russell has been silenced
596
00:31:09,686 --> 00:31:18,286
And now the only one who can tell Baywest Media that the
media needs to start living up to its responsibilities is you
597
00:31:37,887 --> 00:31:40,987
You know? He's absolutely right
598
00:31:40,988 --> 00:31:43,888
The news media has lost its moral center
599
00:31:43,889 --> 00:31:47,089
It's become dominated by corporate interest
600
00:31:47,090 --> 00:31:54,090
Kitty Kirk went on record saying that she felt corporate
pressure to cast the Iraq war in a positive light
601
00:31:54,091 --> 00:32:01,091
Even President Bush's fore press secretary ironically
refers to the liberal media because it's become so focused
602
00:32:01,092 --> 00:32:04,992
On advancing Republican policies which benefit, guess who?
603
00:32:04,993 --> 00:32:06,393
Corporations
604
00:32:07,094 --> 00:32:15,194
The journalistic spirit that Andy McCarthyism at exposed
Watergate has been co-opted into making the case for WMD's in Iraq
605
00:32:15,195 --> 00:32:17,495
And ignoring calamity in New Orleans
606
00:32:17,496 --> 00:32:21,096
And that's when he's not peoccupied by Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears
607
00:32:22,397 --> 00:32:26,997
And when you consider how critical a
free press is in a democracy like ours
608
00:32:26,998 --> 00:32:29,498
It's particularly loadsome
609
00:32:29,499 --> 00:32:31,699
But you want to know what's really loadsome?
610
00:32:32,900 --> 00:32:38,200
Trying to convert your justifiable outrage
into a personal financial windfall
611
00:32:38,901 --> 00:32:43,801
If Sam Russell were really that concerned about
the state of the media he wouldn't have quit
612
00:32:43,802 --> 00:32:48,602
He would've stayed on and worked to
change the system from the inside
613
00:32:49,503 --> 00:32:52,603
Rather than running to you for a handout
614
00:32:57,804 --> 00:32:58,904
It could go either way
615
00:32:59,605 --> 00:33:01,905
Then it won't inconvenience them to go our way
616
00:33:01,906 --> 00:33:07,606
Even if they rule for us, for Sam, there's little guarantee of the
money judgement sufficient to keep our lights on
617
00:33:07,607 --> 00:33:09,007
Thank you Mr. Optimist!
618
00:33:09,008 --> 00:33:14,808
I'm just being truthful. Let alone those lines,
you two made me very proud
619
00:33:14,809 --> 00:33:17,809
I couldn't fathom two attorneys I'd rather practice with
620
00:33:18,610 --> 00:33:20,210
So you'll be retiring then?
621
00:33:26,111 --> 00:33:31,311
Hello? You want me to... why?
622
00:33:33,812 --> 00:33:35,012
OK
623
00:33:37,013 --> 00:33:39,313
Um... I'll be back in a moment
624
00:33:49,314 --> 00:33:51,814
OK, I'm not gonna bother telling you how weird this is
625
00:33:51,815 --> 00:33:53,115
I have a settlement offer
626
00:33:53,116 --> 00:33:54,816
Which you felt the need to make in a closet?
627
00:33:54,817 --> 00:33:58,617
Does the offer involves us making out
cause, no ofense, but I just...
628
00:33:58,618 --> 00:34:01,718
It's quite possible the rest of my team doesn't
know about this offer, but my client does
629
00:34:01,719 --> 00:34:04,519
And he's willing to pay Sam 5 million dollars
630
00:34:06,020 --> 00:34:07,420
Does Sam have to make out with you?
631
00:34:07,421 --> 00:34:08,621
This is serious
632
00:34:08,622 --> 00:34:11,422
It's a public perception thing. Sam still got a few fans
633
00:34:11,423 --> 00:34:15,623
5 million dollars buys an end to this settlement
and a public statement saying he resigned
634
00:34:16,423 --> 00:34:18,223
Sam's gonna have a problem with that
635
00:34:18,224 --> 00:34:19,424
Not as big a problem as you've got
636
00:34:19,425 --> 00:34:23,825
One third contingency on 5 million
dollars is Wethersby Stone's life route
637
00:34:23,826 --> 00:34:27,826
Ok? Don't go and tell like a minute after I'm out the door
638
00:34:27,827 --> 00:34:28,527
Of course
639
00:34:31,828 --> 00:34:33,228
Should I even consider this?
640
00:34:33,229 --> 00:34:34,129
It's a lot of money
641
00:34:34,130 --> 00:34:35,830
Enough to start over
642
00:34:35,831 --> 00:34:37,031
Put all this behind you
643
00:34:37,032 --> 00:34:40,532
But I want them to admit that what they did was
wrong, not just wrong but disrespectful
644
00:34:40,533 --> 00:34:42,233
Mercenary terpretude
645
00:34:42,234 --> 00:34:48,234
Sorry Sam but... that kind of admission
just doesn't happen in the real world
646
00:34:48,235 --> 00:34:50,335
Certainly not in the world of corporate America
647
00:34:50,336 --> 00:34:54,136
Yes, they might take a hit from the jury but they also might not
648
00:34:54,137 --> 00:34:56,437
At least this way you're guarantedd something
649
00:34:56,438 --> 00:34:58,738
And after they pay you 5 million dollars
650
00:34:58,739 --> 00:35:02,439
Baywest is gonna think twice about
trying to silence another reporter
651
00:35:02,439 --> 00:35:03,439
I see your point
652
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,040
So you'll take it?
653
00:35:06,341 --> 00:35:07,941
Do I have a choice?
654
00:35:07,942 --> 00:35:09,042
Of course you have a choice
655
00:35:10,743 --> 00:35:15,843
Sam, you were wronged. The station forced you out, we
all know that and by allowing them to get away with it
656
00:35:15,844 --> 00:35:19,844
We are allowing corporate greed to roll over journalistic ethics
657
00:35:19,845 --> 00:35:23,745
To --- the first amendment, you need to stand up for what is right
658
00:35:23,746 --> 00:35:26,446
But there is a cost to that
659
00:35:26,447 --> 00:35:28,047
Yes, to your conscience
660
00:35:29,148 --> 00:35:32,748
Sleepless nights and anxious mornings
when the reality of your mistakes
661
00:35:32,749 --> 00:35:37,049
Plague you the most when you realize
that you've compromised your principles
662
00:35:37,049 --> 00:35:38,549
That you've done the wrong thing
663
00:35:39,250 --> 00:35:44,450
Believe me when I tell you living with regret
is much harder than living with defeat
664
00:35:45,851 --> 00:35:51,451
You've come this far, if you settle now I'm afraid
you'll lose something far worse than a trial
665
00:35:55,352 --> 00:35:56,552
He's right
666
00:35:57,553 --> 00:35:59,153
I know it
667
00:36:01,154 --> 00:36:02,254
No deal
668
00:36:06,155 --> 00:36:07,455
I'll go tell Matt
669
00:36:22,456 --> 00:36:23,556
Maggie!
670
00:36:24,557 --> 00:36:26,157
Ciao mia bella ragazza
671
00:36:26,158 --> 00:36:27,558
Ciao
672
00:36:39,059 --> 00:36:43,559
We the jury in the matter of Samuel
Russell vs. Baywest Media Incorporated
673
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,060
Find in favor of
674
00:36:47,261 --> 00:36:48,361
The defendant
675
00:37:03,262 --> 00:37:09,862
Congratulations! Not only is there a nice paycheck in it
for us but we got to nail Wethersby Stone and Associates
676
00:37:09,863 --> 00:37:12,663
Where really hurts: their wallets
677
00:37:15,664 --> 00:37:18,664
And I would specially like to thank Maggie Dekker
678
00:37:22,265 --> 00:37:27,365
For her sweet voice and placid demeanor bely her inner animal
679
00:37:27,366 --> 00:37:29,366
She was a panther out there people
680
00:37:32,967 --> 00:37:36,767
Alright, unless you can figure out a client to bill
for eating cupcakes get back to work
681
00:37:38,768 --> 00:37:40,768
Dowd... a word
682
00:37:42,069 --> 00:37:44,569
Actually its uh, two words
683
00:37:44,570 --> 00:37:46,370
Never again
684
00:37:46,871 --> 00:37:48,171
You know what I'm referring to?
685
00:37:49,372 --> 00:37:50,772
I'm pretty sure I've got an idea
686
00:37:50,773 --> 00:37:52,173
You're lucky they turned down that offer
687
00:37:52,174 --> 00:37:54,474
And you're lucky our client won
688
00:37:54,475 --> 00:37:57,375
Now I don't see you getting lucky three times in a row
689
00:37:58,476 --> 00:37:59,376
Do you?
690
00:38:01,777 --> 00:38:03,777
You were bit over your word limit there
691
00:38:06,678 --> 00:38:07,878
What are we gonna do?
692
00:38:07,879 --> 00:38:11,179
Well, there's still some paintings I can sell
693
00:38:11,180 --> 00:38:14,080
Some bills we can defer payment on
694
00:38:14,881 --> 00:38:17,881
They would buy us six months... maybe a little less
695
00:38:18,882 --> 00:38:20,182
You're not alone in this dad
696
00:38:22,283 --> 00:38:23,483
Why are you smiling?
697
00:38:23,984 --> 00:38:25,684
Just nice to hear you call me dad
698
00:38:26,885 --> 00:38:27,785
Hey!
699
00:38:27,786 --> 00:38:29,086
Matt
700
00:38:29,087 --> 00:38:30,687
What are you doing here?
701
00:38:30,788 --> 00:38:33,588
I heard Keith's got my old office
702
00:38:33,589 --> 00:38:36,189
That's just an unacceptable situation
703
00:38:37,890 --> 00:38:39,290
And so is Posner and Klein
704
00:38:39,291 --> 00:38:41,791
At least that's what it's turned out to be
705
00:38:42,992 --> 00:38:44,992
So you're...
706
00:38:44,993 --> 00:38:51,493
Well you're always going on about how your dad says
this place is about uh... making up for past mistakes
707
00:38:53,094 --> 00:38:54,394
I though I'd give that a try
708
00:38:58,095 --> 00:39:02,695
Not to rain on your parade but...
has anyone actually offered you a job here?
709
00:39:02,696 --> 00:39:04,596
How would you like to have a job here?
710
00:39:04,597 --> 00:39:09,397
Not to sound ungrateful but we can't
even afford to pay you minimum wage
711
00:39:09,398 --> 00:39:13,198
Oh no, take Stone's name off the door and we'll call it even
712
00:39:13,199 --> 00:39:14,999
Nice try
713
00:39:17,500 --> 00:39:24,100
Um... you were right... I wanna show the little Dowd or...
714
00:39:24,701 --> 00:39:29,201
Dowdette, what means to stand up for the things she care about
715
00:39:31,901 --> 00:39:34,201
She's gonna be very lucky to have you as a dad
716
00:39:36,202 --> 00:39:37,602
She?
717
00:39:38,103 --> 00:39:40,203
I couldn't help it when I went to the doctor the other day
718
00:39:40,204 --> 00:39:41,804
I just... I had to know
719
00:39:42,805 --> 00:39:43,805
I hope you're not mad
720
00:39:43,806 --> 00:39:45,406
No... I'm not mad!
721
00:39:45,407 --> 00:39:47,607
I'm having a girl, are you kidding me?
722
00:39:55,408 --> 00:39:58,108
Uh, yeah... if you just call up to her office, she'll let me in.
723
00:39:58,109 --> 00:40:01,209
It's Maggie Dekker. Two k's
724
00:40:01,210 --> 00:40:01,810
You're looking for Maggie?
725
00:40:01,811 --> 00:40:03,511
You just missed her, she's probably outside
726
00:40:05,112 --> 00:40:05,712
Thank you!
727
00:40:09,113 --> 00:40:11,313
Maggie! Mag...
728
00:40:28,914 --> 00:40:34,314
Here... I think um... I think my window closed
729
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:02,000
