1
00:00:02,341 --> 00:00:04,543
BULL: That happy-go-lucky
looking kid is me.
2
00:00:04,577 --> 00:00:07,713
I was the smartest person
I had ever met,
3
00:00:07,746 --> 00:00:10,483
and I was convinced I would
grow up to be an astronaut
4
00:00:10,516 --> 00:00:13,419
and the first man on Saturn.
5
00:00:13,452 --> 00:00:16,189
This is me the summer
after my first year in college.
6
00:00:16,222 --> 00:00:18,524
I was on my first car,
third girlfriend,
7
00:00:18,557 --> 00:00:21,327
and second fake ID.
I had come to the conclusion
8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,696
that space travel
probably wasn't in my future
9
00:00:23,729 --> 00:00:27,466
and that psychology
was for losers and weaklings.
10
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:29,702
You can figure out
what this is.
11
00:00:29,735 --> 00:00:32,671
The point being we move through
our lives shedding skins,
12
00:00:32,705 --> 00:00:35,808
kissing older versions
of ourselves good-bye
13
00:00:35,841 --> 00:00:37,810
and new ones hello.
14
00:00:37,843 --> 00:00:40,213
(sighs)
15
00:00:41,580 --> 00:00:42,715
MARISSA:
Oh. Uh, Bull?
16
00:00:42,748 --> 00:00:44,750
Mind if I join you
for your 9:00?
17
00:00:44,783 --> 00:00:46,519
Huh? What 9:00?
18
00:00:46,552 --> 00:00:47,653
Wh... That big-deal attorney
from upstate
19
00:00:47,686 --> 00:00:50,456
that you told me to fit into
your schedule this morning.
20
00:00:50,489 --> 00:00:51,724
What are you talking about?
21
00:00:51,757 --> 00:00:52,791
Were you drinking last night?
22
00:00:52,825 --> 00:00:54,693
Was it a day that ends in "Y"?
23
00:00:54,727 --> 00:00:56,195
You don't remember
me calling you.
24
00:00:56,229 --> 00:00:57,663
Calling me what?
25
00:00:57,696 --> 00:00:59,598
I smell a setup.
26
00:00:59,632 --> 00:01:02,735
Do you want me to walk in first?
27
00:01:02,768 --> 00:01:04,770
I'd love that.
28
00:01:07,140 --> 00:01:09,375
Mr. Burnam?
29
00:01:09,408 --> 00:01:11,110
So sorry to have
kept you waiting.
30
00:01:11,144 --> 00:01:12,711
Dr. Bull
just arrived.
31
00:01:15,648 --> 00:01:18,217
Mr. Burnam?
32
00:01:18,251 --> 00:01:20,753
Dr. Bull. Uh, thank you so much
for seeing me.
33
00:01:20,786 --> 00:01:24,457
You're a big deal attorney?
34
00:01:25,558 --> 00:01:28,227
I-I... am an attorney.
35
00:01:29,395 --> 00:01:31,130
How old are you?
36
00:01:31,164 --> 00:01:33,666
24. 25 in March.
37
00:01:33,699 --> 00:01:35,434
I get this all the time.
38
00:01:35,468 --> 00:01:37,336
Okay.
39
00:01:37,370 --> 00:01:39,605
I'm gonna walk
around my desk here
40
00:01:39,638 --> 00:01:41,274
and put myself in that chair
and hope
41
00:01:41,307 --> 00:01:43,742
that in the time it takes me
to walk from here to there,
42
00:01:43,776 --> 00:01:46,245
I start to remember who you are
and why you're here.
43
00:01:56,489 --> 00:01:58,491
(clears throat)
44
00:02:00,893 --> 00:02:02,195
I got nothing.
45
00:02:02,228 --> 00:02:04,230
You know,
now that I think about it,
46
00:02:04,263 --> 00:02:06,765
maybe I never did call you
about this meeting.
Okay.
47
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:08,767
Somebody want to tell me
what's going on here?
48
00:02:08,801 --> 00:02:10,436
Well, don't be angry
with Zack.
49
00:02:10,469 --> 00:02:12,271
He really is a lawyer,
and he really has been
50
00:02:12,305 --> 00:02:13,706
trying to reach you
for several weeks.
51
00:02:13,739 --> 00:02:15,741
I just knew that
when you heard his story
52
00:02:15,774 --> 00:02:16,875
you'd want to meet him.
53
00:02:16,909 --> 00:02:18,244
Because?
54
00:02:18,277 --> 00:02:20,513
Because I, uh, I have a case
55
00:02:20,546 --> 00:02:23,216
that could really benefit
from your involvement.
56
00:02:24,417 --> 00:02:25,884
Is that the line
that's supposed to hook me?
57
00:02:27,453 --> 00:02:28,621
Where are you from?
58
00:02:28,654 --> 00:02:30,789
Danville.
It's-it's a little town
59
00:02:30,823 --> 00:02:32,591
about 40 miles north of here.
60
00:02:32,625 --> 00:02:34,227
40 whole miles.
61
00:02:34,260 --> 00:02:37,363
I am incredibly impressed
and flattered.
62
00:02:37,396 --> 00:02:39,465
You have one more chance
to say something, anything,
63
00:02:39,498 --> 00:02:41,367
that will make me
want to talk to you
64
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,202
more than to check my e-mails.
65
00:02:43,236 --> 00:02:45,438
It's a toxic tort case.
66
00:02:45,471 --> 00:02:47,906
Okay.
That's pretty heady stuff
67
00:02:47,940 --> 00:02:49,708
for a young attorney.
Somebody was exposed
68
00:02:49,742 --> 00:02:51,577
to chemicals that did them harm?
69
00:02:51,610 --> 00:02:52,878
Yeah. My mom.
70
00:02:52,911 --> 00:02:54,713
And five other people.
71
00:02:54,747 --> 00:02:57,250
Your mom?
72
00:02:57,283 --> 00:03:00,253
That's a lot of responsibility.
73
00:03:00,286 --> 00:03:01,920
You with a big firm?
74
00:03:01,954 --> 00:03:05,491
No, it's kind of just
me, myself and I.
75
00:03:05,524 --> 00:03:08,227
A-Actually, it was-it was my
mom's idea to reach out to you.
76
00:03:08,261 --> 00:03:11,297
I don't understand.
Is your mom an attorney?
77
00:03:11,330 --> 00:03:12,965
My mom's Allison Burnam.
78
00:03:12,998 --> 00:03:14,833
But when you knew her
79
00:03:14,867 --> 00:03:16,869
she was Allison Campbell.
80
00:03:18,937 --> 00:03:20,739
Allison Campbell?
81
00:03:22,408 --> 00:03:23,809
(chuckles):
Huh.
82
00:03:23,842 --> 00:03:26,379
Ally Campbell.
83
00:03:26,412 --> 00:03:29,482
Day in, day out, I do mostly
DUIs, small claim cases,
84
00:03:29,515 --> 00:03:31,817
personal injury--
that sort of thing.
85
00:03:31,850 --> 00:03:34,320
But when my mom got sick...
86
00:03:34,353 --> 00:03:36,955
I-It took us a while to realize
she wasn't the only one.
87
00:03:36,989 --> 00:03:39,892
And do you have a theory
about why this is happening?
88
00:03:39,925 --> 00:03:41,494
The biggest employer
in our town is a company
89
00:03:41,527 --> 00:03:43,429
called Warwick Furniture
Manufacturing.
90
00:03:43,462 --> 00:03:44,997
All my clients
are near the factory,
91
00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:46,999
and they've all
got something wrong.
92
00:03:47,032 --> 00:03:48,567
Thyroid disease, cancer,
93
00:03:48,601 --> 00:03:50,669
heart problems,
bladder issues.
94
00:03:50,703 --> 00:03:52,305
Doesn't the fact that different
have different maladies
95
00:03:52,338 --> 00:03:54,507
make it difficult
to prove causation?
96
00:03:54,540 --> 00:03:56,475
Well, I have an expert who will
explain it all stems from
97
00:03:56,509 --> 00:03:57,743
a chemical Warwick uses
as a flame retardant
98
00:03:57,776 --> 00:04:00,012
on their furniture.
Trichloroethylene.
99
00:04:00,045 --> 00:04:01,680
CHUNK:
The company's gonna have
100
00:04:01,714 --> 00:04:04,717
their own expert. And their job
is gonna be to shoot down
101
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:07,019
whatever theories
your expert tries to float.
102
00:04:07,052 --> 00:04:09,888
I know this is gonna
be an uphill battle.
103
00:04:09,922 --> 00:04:12,425
That's why I'm here.
104
00:04:12,458 --> 00:04:13,926
BULL:
Ally Campbell.
105
00:04:13,959 --> 00:04:17,029
She was my first
real girlfriend.
106
00:04:17,062 --> 00:04:18,531
We went out senior year.
107
00:04:18,564 --> 00:04:20,399
Took her to the prom.
108
00:04:20,433 --> 00:04:22,335
She could throw
better than I could,
109
00:04:22,368 --> 00:04:23,936
but I could rap
better than she could.
110
00:04:23,969 --> 00:04:25,771
Both highly important
skill sets
111
00:04:25,804 --> 00:04:28,040
in the adult world
we were about to enter.
112
00:04:28,073 --> 00:04:29,942
We were quite the couple.
113
00:04:31,544 --> 00:04:33,512
I feel terrible
about your mother,
114
00:04:33,546 --> 00:04:36,949
and I wish there was something
I could do to help, but, uh,
115
00:04:36,982 --> 00:04:38,684
you don't even have
a settlement offer.
116
00:04:38,717 --> 00:04:39,685
Actually, I do.
117
00:04:39,718 --> 00:04:40,886
So then what's the problem?
118
00:04:40,919 --> 00:04:42,455
My clients won't accept.
119
00:04:42,488 --> 00:04:43,856
And it's not because
they're greedy.
120
00:04:43,889 --> 00:04:45,991
It's just not a very good offer.
121
00:04:46,024 --> 00:04:48,694
They want to get enough at least
to cover their medical expenses.
122
00:04:48,727 --> 00:04:51,029
They also want the company
to install water extension lines
123
00:04:51,063 --> 00:04:52,798
to bypass
the contaminated wells.
124
00:04:52,831 --> 00:04:54,633
Seems like
a pretty reasonable ask.
125
00:04:54,667 --> 00:04:56,001
Who's representing
the company?
126
00:04:56,034 --> 00:04:58,371
Bartlett & Dunn.
It's a local firm, but they...
127
00:04:58,404 --> 00:04:59,638
BULL:
Yeah, we've heard of 'em.
128
00:04:59,672 --> 00:05:01,374
They're good. And big.
129
00:05:01,407 --> 00:05:02,708
And if you go to trial...
130
00:05:02,741 --> 00:05:04,843
I'll get beaten badly.
131
00:05:04,877 --> 00:05:06,712
Which is another reason
I'm here.
132
00:05:06,745 --> 00:05:08,080
A man with a plan.
133
00:05:09,448 --> 00:05:11,517
40 miles, huh?
134
00:05:11,550 --> 00:05:14,052
Well, maybe I'll run up
to Danville with you,
135
00:05:14,086 --> 00:05:15,421
see what's what.
136
00:05:15,454 --> 00:05:16,922
Say hi to your mom.
137
00:05:16,955 --> 00:05:19,925
I'm not sure I can
be of much help, but, uh...
138
00:05:19,958 --> 00:05:21,126
Can you rearrange my day?
139
00:05:21,159 --> 00:05:22,528
Already did.
140
00:05:22,561 --> 00:05:25,431
And arrange for a car
to bring me back
141
00:05:25,464 --> 00:05:27,466
into the city
around 7:30 tonight?
142
00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:28,634
ALL:
Already did.
143
00:05:32,170 --> 00:05:33,972
(quiet chuckle)
144
00:05:34,006 --> 00:05:36,008
*
145
00:05:44,483 --> 00:05:46,051
So your mom knows I'm coming?
146
00:05:46,084 --> 00:05:47,853
Not really. Uh...
147
00:05:47,886 --> 00:05:49,922
I couldn't be sure you'd
say yes and I-and I didn't
148
00:05:49,955 --> 00:05:51,757
want to make a promise
I couldn't keep.
149
00:05:51,790 --> 00:05:52,691
Aha.
150
00:05:52,725 --> 00:05:54,993
What about your dad--
does he know about me?
151
00:05:55,027 --> 00:05:56,562
He know you're talking to me?
152
00:05:56,595 --> 00:05:58,096
Dad died when
I was 12.
153
00:05:58,130 --> 00:05:59,632
He worked
for Warwick.
154
00:05:59,665 --> 00:06:01,099
Regional
Sales Manger.
155
00:06:01,133 --> 00:06:02,868
He was driving up
to Buffalo one night,
156
00:06:02,901 --> 00:06:04,903
hit some ice, and...
157
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:07,940
Well...
158
00:06:07,973 --> 00:06:09,575
I'm sorry.
159
00:06:09,608 --> 00:06:11,577
Long time ago.
160
00:06:12,978 --> 00:06:15,481
Full disclosure:
what I'm hoping to do
161
00:06:15,514 --> 00:06:17,550
is maybe review the settlement
with you and your mother
162
00:06:17,583 --> 00:06:19,818
and then try and broker
a meeting with the other side,
163
00:06:19,852 --> 00:06:21,687
see if we can get 'em
to sweeten it.
164
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,522
Anything
to avoid court.
165
00:06:23,556 --> 00:06:24,823
Yeah.
166
00:06:24,857 --> 00:06:26,592
That sounds good.
167
00:06:26,625 --> 00:06:28,994
It ma-make...
it makes makes sense.
168
00:06:30,763 --> 00:06:31,764
Although there
was a part of me
169
00:06:31,797 --> 00:06:33,866
that was really looking
forward to the trial.
170
00:06:33,899 --> 00:06:35,968
You like court?
You spend a lot of time there?
171
00:06:36,001 --> 00:06:38,837
Um, this would actually
be my first time.
172
00:06:38,871 --> 00:06:41,106
In court?
173
00:06:41,139 --> 00:06:42,808
Uh-huh.
174
00:06:42,841 --> 00:06:43,976
But that's okay.
175
00:06:44,009 --> 00:06:46,144
When it's meant to be,
it's meant to be.
176
00:06:46,178 --> 00:06:47,980
Uh-huh.
177
00:06:48,013 --> 00:06:50,683
Hey, Mom?
178
00:06:50,716 --> 00:06:52,885
I'm home.
179
00:06:52,918 --> 00:06:54,887
Also, I found this nice
stranger hitchhiking
180
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,622
just before the
Tappan Zee Bridge.
181
00:06:56,655 --> 00:06:58,524
Can I keep him?
182
00:07:00,559 --> 00:07:02,094
She, uh,
may be resting.
183
00:07:02,127 --> 00:07:04,129
Let me go look.
184
00:07:12,004 --> 00:07:13,238
(chuckles quietly)
185
00:07:13,271 --> 00:07:16,809
(chuckles)
How weird is this?
186
00:07:18,010 --> 00:07:19,978
You hunt me down
to tell me you've decided
187
00:07:20,012 --> 00:07:21,714
not to go away
to college after all?
188
00:07:21,747 --> 00:07:24,049
Oh, boy. Okay.
Time to go.
Oh, no, no, no.
189
00:07:24,082 --> 00:07:26,985
Get over here
and give me a serious hug.
190
00:07:29,021 --> 00:07:30,823
Hey.
191
00:07:30,856 --> 00:07:32,157
I won't break.
192
00:07:32,190 --> 00:07:35,193
(both grunt, chuckle)
193
00:07:36,228 --> 00:07:37,696
(sighs)
194
00:07:37,730 --> 00:07:39,732
Mmm.
195
00:07:40,899 --> 00:07:42,234
Hey.
196
00:07:42,267 --> 00:07:44,002
We're still a pretty good fit.
197
00:07:44,036 --> 00:07:47,272
Your son is standing
right next to us.
198
00:07:47,305 --> 00:07:49,041
Oh, please.
I've peeked at his computer.
199
00:07:49,074 --> 00:07:50,643
He's seen lots worse
200
00:07:50,676 --> 00:07:53,011
than this.
201
00:07:53,045 --> 00:07:55,514
Oh, figures
I'd have to get deathly ill
202
00:07:55,548 --> 00:07:56,982
to see you again.
203
00:07:57,015 --> 00:08:00,553
I'm so, so, sorry.
204
00:08:00,586 --> 00:08:03,088
Well, the good news is
you got a great kid there.
205
00:08:03,121 --> 00:08:04,189
I know.
206
00:08:06,124 --> 00:08:07,626
Tell me about you.
207
00:08:10,696 --> 00:08:12,965
Kidney cancer.
208
00:08:12,998 --> 00:08:15,968
Not a lot to tell.
209
00:08:16,001 --> 00:08:18,103
On the plus side, uh,
210
00:08:18,136 --> 00:08:20,539
haven't been this skinny
since you last saw me.
211
00:08:20,573 --> 00:08:23,008
On the minus side...
212
00:08:23,041 --> 00:08:25,010
this is not the life
213
00:08:25,043 --> 00:08:26,879
I planned for myself.
214
00:08:28,714 --> 00:08:30,683
At 45, it's not the ending
215
00:08:30,716 --> 00:08:32,985
I imagined for myself.
216
00:08:33,018 --> 00:08:37,556
I'm taking targeted medication,
and I'm doing immunotherapy.
217
00:08:37,590 --> 00:08:40,125
And for a couple of hours,
I'll feel great.
218
00:08:40,158 --> 00:08:42,928
And then, all of a sudden,
trying to get out of a chair,
219
00:08:42,961 --> 00:08:46,999
or walking across the room
will require more energy
220
00:08:47,032 --> 00:08:50,335
than I can muster.
221
00:08:50,368 --> 00:08:52,270
But I'm-I'm alive,
222
00:08:52,304 --> 00:08:55,140
so, beats the alternative,
right?
223
00:08:55,173 --> 00:08:57,743
How can I help?
224
00:08:57,776 --> 00:09:00,245
Honestly?
225
00:09:00,278 --> 00:09:02,948
I need you
to talk to the others.
226
00:09:02,981 --> 00:09:08,120
This case, this-this disease...
227
00:09:08,153 --> 00:09:10,122
is bankrupting us.
228
00:09:10,155 --> 00:09:13,091
I lose the house next month.
229
00:09:13,125 --> 00:09:16,361
Zack has emptied his savings.
230
00:09:16,394 --> 00:09:19,264
I need you to convince them.
231
00:09:19,297 --> 00:09:22,701
Just get them
to accept an offer.
232
00:09:22,735 --> 00:09:25,804
Please.
233
00:09:25,838 --> 00:09:28,240
We already talked about this.
It's absolutely not
what we're gonna do.
234
00:09:28,273 --> 00:09:33,045
(indistinct,
overlapping chatter)
235
00:09:33,078 --> 00:09:35,748
(loud, overlapping chatter)
236
00:09:35,781 --> 00:09:37,382
(whistles)
237
00:09:37,415 --> 00:09:38,884
Everyone
238
00:09:38,917 --> 00:09:40,986
just stop.
Now, I know you're upset.
239
00:09:41,019 --> 00:09:42,054
Upset?
240
00:09:42,087 --> 00:09:44,056
I-I have cancer, Dr. Bull.
241
00:09:44,089 --> 00:09:45,958
At the very least,
I'm owed an apology
242
00:09:45,991 --> 00:09:48,160
for what they've done to me.
I hear you.
243
00:09:48,193 --> 00:09:50,128
And I agree.
244
00:09:50,162 --> 00:09:51,730
But that's never gonna happen.
245
00:09:51,764 --> 00:09:53,632
Let me be clear.
246
00:09:53,666 --> 00:09:58,103
In a civil case, the only good
that can come is financial.
247
00:09:58,136 --> 00:10:00,038
No one is gonna say
they're sorry.
248
00:10:00,072 --> 00:10:02,641
No one from Warwick
Furniture Manufacturing
249
00:10:02,675 --> 00:10:04,409
is going to jail.
250
00:10:04,442 --> 00:10:06,945
And no one can take away
your cancer.
251
00:10:06,979 --> 00:10:09,147
All you can hope
to win is money.
252
00:10:09,181 --> 00:10:11,850
And that's what's on the table.
253
00:10:11,884 --> 00:10:13,786
It's just not right.
254
00:10:13,819 --> 00:10:15,988
You brought this guy from New
York City to tell us that,
255
00:10:16,021 --> 00:10:17,422
huh?
Doesn't it matter
256
00:10:17,455 --> 00:10:19,057
that what they're
offering us is ridiculous?
257
00:10:19,091 --> 00:10:21,159
(sighs)
258
00:10:23,128 --> 00:10:24,730
Ally?
259
00:10:26,732 --> 00:10:29,201
Oh.
260
00:10:29,234 --> 00:10:30,402
Ooh.
261
00:10:30,435 --> 00:10:31,770
Oh.
262
00:10:31,804 --> 00:10:35,874
Here. Here.
263
00:10:35,908 --> 00:10:37,209
There.
264
00:10:41,346 --> 00:10:44,182
(quiet, indistinct chatter)
265
00:10:47,820 --> 00:10:49,688
You okay?
I'm okay.
266
00:10:49,722 --> 00:10:52,090
I'm okay. Zack, sweetie,
I need my pills.
267
00:10:52,124 --> 00:10:54,359
You know the ones I mean,
in... in my bathroom?
268
00:10:57,229 --> 00:10:59,798
Well, I don't think
we changed any minds down there.
269
00:10:59,832 --> 00:11:03,235
Not even with the encore
from An Officer and a Gentleman.
270
00:11:03,268 --> 00:11:05,103
Actually, you
changed mine.
271
00:11:05,137 --> 00:11:07,205
I think we should go to trial,
272
00:11:07,239 --> 00:11:09,207
and I think
we should squeeze those bastards
273
00:11:09,241 --> 00:11:10,843
because of what they did to you,
274
00:11:10,876 --> 00:11:12,277
squeeze 'em
for everything they've got.
275
00:11:12,310 --> 00:11:13,946
We?
276
00:11:13,979 --> 00:11:16,114
If you'll have me,
Counselor.
277
00:11:16,148 --> 00:11:19,184
I'm gonna send that car
downstairs back into the city,
278
00:11:19,217 --> 00:11:21,787
get my clothes
and my laptop.
279
00:11:21,820 --> 00:11:24,122
Maybe you can point me
to a hotel that's near by?
280
00:11:24,156 --> 00:11:26,291
There's a room for you
right down the hall.
281
00:11:26,324 --> 00:11:27,960
But Jason...
282
00:11:27,993 --> 00:11:29,261
Zack, why don't you
go downstairs
283
00:11:29,294 --> 00:11:32,130
and tell your clients
we're going to court?
284
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,969
(sighs)
Jason?
285
00:11:37,002 --> 00:11:39,805
You haven't seen
me in 25 years.
286
00:11:39,838 --> 00:11:43,208
I really never expected
you to drop everything
287
00:11:43,241 --> 00:11:46,011
and make my problems
your problems.
288
00:11:46,044 --> 00:11:48,080
Problems? You have problems?
289
00:11:48,113 --> 00:11:49,481
You think spontaneously bleeding
290
00:11:49,514 --> 00:11:51,950
from a facial orifice
is a problem?
291
00:11:51,984 --> 00:11:55,387
Where I come from, that's
the ultimate party trick, lady.
292
00:11:55,420 --> 00:11:57,255
(laughing)
It is lady, isn't it?
293
00:11:57,289 --> 00:11:58,490
Now,
294
00:11:58,523 --> 00:12:01,760
I am gonna go downstairs and try
and talk a little more sense
295
00:12:01,794 --> 00:12:03,929
into your happy band
of co-plaintiffs,
296
00:12:03,962 --> 00:12:06,331
make some phone calls,
and then I'm gonna hit the bed
297
00:12:06,364 --> 00:12:09,301
in that room you offered me,
and I mean hit it hard.
298
00:12:09,334 --> 00:12:11,169
And I want to be really clear.
299
00:12:11,203 --> 00:12:13,806
If you try and sneak in
in the middle of the night
300
00:12:13,839 --> 00:12:17,843
and pull any funny stuff,
all bets are off, okay?
301
00:12:17,876 --> 00:12:19,845
I'm just not that kind of boy.
302
00:12:22,580 --> 00:12:24,382
Now, see,
that's what I'm talking about.
303
00:12:24,416 --> 00:12:26,418
You got to work
on your impulse control.
304
00:12:36,594 --> 00:12:38,964
So what now?
So, today I'm hoping
305
00:12:38,997 --> 00:12:41,099
Zack and I get
to meet with opposing council.
306
00:12:41,133 --> 00:12:43,001
But before I sit at the table,
307
00:12:43,035 --> 00:12:45,170
I'd like to know
what kind of cards I'm holding.
308
00:12:45,203 --> 00:12:47,172
Well, it turns out
309
00:12:47,205 --> 00:12:50,175
the flame retardant Warwick
uses is technically legal
310
00:12:50,208 --> 00:12:51,443
in the United States,
311
00:12:51,476 --> 00:12:54,246
but it's banned in most
of the rest of the world
312
00:12:54,279 --> 00:12:55,848
because of concerns that
it's bioaccummulative
313
00:12:55,881 --> 00:12:58,116
and carcinogenic.
314
00:12:58,150 --> 00:12:59,284
Be careful with that,
though, okay?
315
00:12:59,317 --> 00:13:02,287
Those findings are derived
from experiments with rats.
316
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:03,822
Benny's right.
317
00:13:03,856 --> 00:13:07,192
Rat models are far
from perfect
318
00:13:07,225 --> 00:13:08,961
when predicting
toxicity in humans.
319
00:13:08,994 --> 00:13:11,563
They're only accurate
about 43% of the time.
320
00:13:11,596 --> 00:13:14,099
Okay, but the science
isn't junk, right?
321
00:13:14,132 --> 00:13:16,468
No, it's not junk.
In fact, it's terrifying.
322
00:13:16,501 --> 00:13:18,436
And if I were on the jury,
323
00:13:18,470 --> 00:13:22,307
I'd go full Erin Brockovich
on their ass.
324
00:13:22,340 --> 00:13:25,043
Mm, that's quite an image,
Cable.
(tea kettle whistling)
325
00:13:25,077 --> 00:13:26,845
Wait a second.
326
00:13:26,879 --> 00:13:29,514
Mm. I smell food.
327
00:13:29,547 --> 00:13:32,550
Nothing personal. Later.
328
00:13:35,020 --> 00:13:36,588
(laughing):
Wow.
329
00:13:36,621 --> 00:13:38,423
What is all this?
330
00:13:38,456 --> 00:13:40,525
Are there lumberjacks
coming for breakfast?
331
00:13:40,558 --> 00:13:42,494
Yeah, I know.
I kind of overdid it.
332
00:13:42,527 --> 00:13:43,996
No. It's great.
333
00:13:44,029 --> 00:13:47,599
Just maybe we should offload
some of this onto Zack.
334
00:13:47,632 --> 00:13:49,634
No, he's already gone.
He left for work an hour ago.
335
00:13:49,667 --> 00:13:51,970
He's trying to set up that
meeting with the other side.
336
00:13:52,004 --> 00:13:55,140
Well... his loss.
337
00:13:56,641 --> 00:13:58,243
Mmm.
338
00:14:00,412 --> 00:14:02,580
So...
339
00:14:02,614 --> 00:14:04,516
just you and me here.
340
00:14:08,053 --> 00:14:10,122
Listen, I know
it's been a long time,
341
00:14:10,155 --> 00:14:12,524
but I've actually
been thinking about this
342
00:14:12,557 --> 00:14:15,227
a lot, so,
343
00:14:15,260 --> 00:14:17,963
if I asked you to....
344
00:14:17,996 --> 00:14:20,165
do something... with me,
345
00:14:20,198 --> 00:14:22,634
would you at least
346
00:14:22,667 --> 00:14:24,869
think about it?
347
00:14:26,071 --> 00:14:28,240
Give it some thought?
348
00:14:28,273 --> 00:14:31,076
* For relationship
there's just room *
349
00:14:31,109 --> 00:14:32,610
* To hit it,
how many brothers out there *
350
00:14:32,644 --> 00:14:34,079
* Know just
what I'm getting at? *
351
00:14:34,112 --> 00:14:35,447
* Who think it's wrong
352
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:36,581
* 'Cause I was splitting
and co-hitting that? *
353
00:14:36,614 --> 00:14:37,916
* Well, if you do, it's O.P.P.
354
00:14:37,950 --> 00:14:39,284
* And you're not down with it
355
00:14:39,317 --> 00:14:40,953
* But if you don't,
here's your membership *
356
00:14:40,986 --> 00:14:42,320
* You down with O.P.P.?
357
00:14:42,354 --> 00:14:43,588
* Yeah, you know me *
358
00:14:43,621 --> 00:14:44,856
* You down with O.P.P.?
* Yeah, you know me *
359
00:14:44,889 --> 00:14:48,360
* You down with O.P.P.?
* Yeah, you know me *
360
00:14:48,393 --> 00:14:49,594
* Who's down with O.P.P.?
361
00:14:49,627 --> 00:14:50,628
* Every last homey *
362
00:14:50,662 --> 00:14:52,030
* You down with O.P.P.?
363
00:14:52,064 --> 00:14:53,331
* Yeah, you know me *
364
00:14:53,365 --> 00:14:54,466
* You down with O.P.P.?
365
00:14:54,499 --> 00:14:56,268
* Yeah, you know me *
366
00:14:56,301 --> 00:14:58,470
* You down with O.P.P.?
* Yeah, you know me *
367
00:14:58,503 --> 00:15:00,172
* You down with O.P.P.?
368
00:15:00,205 --> 00:15:02,007
* Well, for the ladies,
O.P.P... *
369
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,708
Hello. Zack, good
to see you again.
370
00:15:03,741 --> 00:15:05,277
Mr. Dunn.
371
00:15:05,310 --> 00:15:07,412
And you must
be Dr. Bull.
372
00:15:07,445 --> 00:15:09,214
I am indeed.
Preston Dunn
373
00:15:09,247 --> 00:15:11,183
of Bartlett & Dunn.
374
00:15:11,216 --> 00:15:13,585
Have a seat, please.
375
00:15:15,220 --> 00:15:20,392
So... what can we do
for you gentlemen?
376
00:15:20,425 --> 00:15:22,194
Well, Mr. Burnam
and I wanted to see
377
00:15:22,227 --> 00:15:23,561
if we could have a conversation
378
00:15:23,595 --> 00:15:25,530
with you
about our pending court action.
379
00:15:25,563 --> 00:15:27,632
What about it?
380
00:15:27,665 --> 00:15:29,234
Well, the proposal on the table,
381
00:15:29,267 --> 00:15:33,138
is, in our opinion,
exceedingly modest.
382
00:15:33,171 --> 00:15:34,639
It doesn't even
speak to the request
383
00:15:34,672 --> 00:15:36,541
for extending water lines
384
00:15:36,574 --> 00:15:38,443
that would bypass
the polluted wells
385
00:15:38,476 --> 00:15:41,579
so that our clients could use
clean water
386
00:15:41,613 --> 00:15:43,515
in their homes.
387
00:15:43,548 --> 00:15:45,617
We were hoping we might be able
to convince you
388
00:15:45,650 --> 00:15:49,554
to sweeten the offer and maybe
avoid court altogether.
389
00:15:49,587 --> 00:15:51,623
And why would we do that?
390
00:15:51,656 --> 00:15:53,591
Yeah. Sense of fair play?
391
00:15:53,625 --> 00:15:55,293
Your client's sense of remorse?
392
00:15:55,327 --> 00:15:56,661
You don't want
393
00:15:56,694 --> 00:15:58,563
to be publicly humiliated
in a court of law?
394
00:15:58,596 --> 00:16:01,666
Tell me when to stop.
I got a million of 'em.
Dr. Bull,
395
00:16:01,699 --> 00:16:05,003
we have no reason to fear court.
396
00:16:05,037 --> 00:16:07,539
Our clients firmly believe
they've done nothing illegal.
397
00:16:07,572 --> 00:16:09,674
The fact that there is an offer
398
00:16:09,707 --> 00:16:11,609
on the table is solely
a function
399
00:16:11,643 --> 00:16:13,778
of their commitment
to being a good neighbor
400
00:16:13,811 --> 00:16:17,715
and trying to help friends
who have fallen on hard times.
401
00:16:17,749 --> 00:16:19,617
Wow.
402
00:16:19,651 --> 00:16:22,020
You said that
like you almost meant it.
403
00:16:22,054 --> 00:16:24,022
Preston,
404
00:16:24,056 --> 00:16:26,358
let me explain something to you.
405
00:16:26,391 --> 00:16:29,794
Yes, you have money
on your side,
406
00:16:29,827 --> 00:16:32,564
and a small gaggle
of attorneys,
407
00:16:32,597 --> 00:16:35,800
but your gaggle all specialize
in one thing.
408
00:16:35,833 --> 00:16:39,537
Keeping your clients
out of court.
409
00:16:39,571 --> 00:16:43,341
And court is where I live
every single day.
410
00:16:43,375 --> 00:16:45,210
I have more experience in court
411
00:16:45,243 --> 00:16:47,645
than all
of Bartlett & Dunn put together.
412
00:16:47,679 --> 00:16:50,348
So if that's where you want
to work this out,
413
00:16:50,382 --> 00:16:52,584
so be it, but if you
wake up in the middle
414
00:16:52,617 --> 00:16:55,053
of the night
and change your mind...
415
00:16:55,087 --> 00:16:57,355
that's my cell number.
416
00:16:58,790 --> 00:17:01,059
I need ten times
what's on the table,
417
00:17:01,093 --> 00:17:03,295
and those extended pipelines.
418
00:17:03,328 --> 00:17:05,130
That should get it done.
419
00:17:05,163 --> 00:17:08,333
Though, if I were to get
this case in front of a jury,
420
00:17:08,366 --> 00:17:12,104
I think it'd be a lot more
expensive than that.
421
00:17:14,139 --> 00:17:15,773
Ladies.
422
00:17:15,807 --> 00:17:17,675
Gentlemen.
423
00:17:17,709 --> 00:17:19,677
Don't get up.
I wouldn't for you.
424
00:17:22,347 --> 00:17:24,449
Was that how it was
supposed to go?
425
00:17:24,482 --> 00:17:27,252
Fear's a weapon.
We just weaponized you.
426
00:17:27,285 --> 00:17:31,156
And yes, that's how
it was supposed to go.
427
00:17:31,189 --> 00:17:33,825
A trial is a piece
of theater.
428
00:17:33,858 --> 00:17:35,727
It's not just the events
that shape the outcome,
429
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,729
but often the order
of events.
430
00:17:37,762 --> 00:17:40,498
My suggestion is we put
the scientific experts on first,
431
00:17:40,532 --> 00:17:42,800
then our whistleblower, and then
finish with the plaintiffs.
432
00:17:42,834 --> 00:17:45,470
That makes sense. Save the most
emotional testimony for last.
433
00:17:45,503 --> 00:17:47,572
Mm. The problem is,
if the science doesn't land,
434
00:17:47,605 --> 00:17:49,741
the opposition is gonna argue
that there's no reason
435
00:17:49,774 --> 00:17:51,343
to hear from the plaintiffs
436
00:17:51,376 --> 00:17:53,611
because their argument
is immaterial.
437
00:17:53,645 --> 00:17:55,480
Well...
438
00:17:56,514 --> 00:17:58,516
Look, okay, we can't do that.
439
00:17:58,550 --> 00:18:00,785
That's the whole reason
I'm in this thing.
440
00:18:00,818 --> 00:18:02,620
I mean, I... I want my mother
441
00:18:02,654 --> 00:18:04,622
to have a chance
to talk to these guys.
442
00:18:04,656 --> 00:18:06,558
What guys?
The company.
443
00:18:06,591 --> 00:18:07,592
Warwick Furniture Manufacturing.
444
00:18:07,625 --> 00:18:09,661
I want them to hear
what they've done to her,
445
00:18:09,694 --> 00:18:11,496
what they've taken from her.
446
00:18:11,529 --> 00:18:13,765
First her husband,
now her life?
447
00:18:13,798 --> 00:18:16,834
Even if we get nothing,
she has to have that moment.
448
00:18:16,868 --> 00:18:18,170
She's entitled to that moment.
449
00:18:18,203 --> 00:18:19,404
Zack,
450
00:18:19,437 --> 00:18:21,806
she's entitled to do
whatever helps us win.
451
00:18:21,839 --> 00:18:24,409
I mean, there are five
other plaintiffs.
452
00:18:24,442 --> 00:18:25,777
I don't foresee
any reason why
453
00:18:25,810 --> 00:18:27,345
she wouldn't be able
to testify, but
454
00:18:27,379 --> 00:18:30,182
let's keep our eyes
on the prize. You understand?
455
00:18:32,550 --> 00:18:34,519
Great.
456
00:18:34,552 --> 00:18:36,421
ZACK:
Now tell me about voir dire.
457
00:18:36,454 --> 00:18:38,390
(rolling thunder)
458
00:18:38,423 --> 00:18:40,825
Well, the judge will
automatically eliminate anybody
459
00:18:40,858 --> 00:18:43,795
from the jury pool
who works for Warwick,
460
00:18:43,828 --> 00:18:46,498
or is related to anybody
who works for Warwick,
461
00:18:46,531 --> 00:18:49,367
or is related to anybody
who used to wo for Warwick.
462
00:18:49,401 --> 00:18:51,169
But that is not the problem.
463
00:18:51,203 --> 00:18:53,938
The problem is,
in a town like this,
464
00:18:53,971 --> 00:18:56,608
that even if you don't
work for Warwick,
465
00:18:56,641 --> 00:18:59,511
you come to believe your
prosperity is tied to theirs.
466
00:18:59,544 --> 00:19:01,546
Mm. Yeah. I hadn't
thought of that.
467
00:19:01,579 --> 00:19:04,316
So we find the outliers,
the anomalies,
468
00:19:04,349 --> 00:19:07,819
people who live in Danville who
are suspicious of big business.
469
00:19:07,852 --> 00:19:11,889
And maybe people who feel
cheated in their lives.
470
00:19:11,923 --> 00:19:14,759
That's interesting.
What do you mean?
471
00:19:14,792 --> 00:19:16,894
Well, folks who have been
lied to in the same way
472
00:19:16,928 --> 00:19:18,863
that Warwick lied
to the plaintiffs.
473
00:19:18,896 --> 00:19:19,997
(rolling thunder)
474
00:19:20,031 --> 00:19:24,636
BULL:
You sure you've never been
in a courtroom before?
475
00:19:24,669 --> 00:19:27,405
(murmuring)
476
00:19:27,439 --> 00:19:29,441
BULL:
Big team, huh?
477
00:19:29,474 --> 00:19:31,609
Kind of intimidating.
478
00:19:31,643 --> 00:19:32,910
Little bit.
479
00:19:32,944 --> 00:19:35,747
You've got
a big team, too.
480
00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:37,782
You just can't see 'em.
481
00:19:44,689 --> 00:19:46,658
MARISSA: We're right there
with you, Zack.
482
00:19:46,691 --> 00:19:48,793
From lawyer to lawyer,
you're gonna kill it, kid.
483
00:19:48,826 --> 00:19:50,828
We're here
for you, Zack!
484
00:19:53,698 --> 00:19:56,268
Go get 'em.
485
00:19:56,301 --> 00:19:57,602
The town you live in is on fire.
486
00:19:57,635 --> 00:19:59,337
No water lines, no hydrants.
487
00:19:59,371 --> 00:20:01,873
Only way to stop the fire
is for everyone in town
488
00:20:01,906 --> 00:20:02,940
to form a human train
489
00:20:02,974 --> 00:20:05,843
and pass buckets of water
from person to person.
490
00:20:05,877 --> 00:20:07,779
Finally, the
fire's put out,
491
00:20:07,812 --> 00:20:09,847
but three of your neighbors
complain that,
492
00:20:09,881 --> 00:20:11,916
while they were part
of the human train,
493
00:20:11,949 --> 00:20:13,785
people dropped buckets of water
on their feet,
494
00:20:13,818 --> 00:20:15,920
and now they have broken toes.
495
00:20:15,953 --> 00:20:18,256
They're suing the town.
496
00:20:18,290 --> 00:20:19,624
What do you think?
497
00:20:19,657 --> 00:20:20,625
About...?
498
00:20:20,658 --> 00:20:21,926
About the
three people.
499
00:20:21,959 --> 00:20:24,862
(chuckles) I know
where you're going, and...
500
00:20:24,896 --> 00:20:26,731
And...?
501
00:20:26,764 --> 00:20:28,966
I think
it's a ridiculous story.
502
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,303
We move to strike this juror,
Your Honor.
503
00:20:31,336 --> 00:20:33,671
Who would you say are some
of your favorite sports teams?
504
00:20:33,705 --> 00:20:34,539
Favorite?
505
00:20:34,572 --> 00:20:36,874
Well, for baseball,
I like the Yankees.
506
00:20:36,908 --> 00:20:38,376
Football, Cowboys.
And for basketball,
507
00:20:38,410 --> 00:20:40,345
I'm a Golden State guy.
508
00:20:40,378 --> 00:20:41,746
Good God.
509
00:20:41,779 --> 00:20:43,815
This guy's never met
a Goliath he didn't like.
510
00:20:43,848 --> 00:20:47,985
He won't be happy until the
underdog is spayed and neutered.
511
00:20:48,019 --> 00:20:49,821
We move to strike, Your Honor.
512
00:20:49,854 --> 00:20:50,955
So, who's next?
513
00:20:50,988 --> 00:20:52,624
Uh, juror 43.
514
00:20:52,657 --> 00:20:53,925
Her name is Madeline Fox.
515
00:20:53,958 --> 00:20:55,627
She's 29.
516
00:20:55,660 --> 00:20:57,462
She's a project manager,
517
00:20:57,495 --> 00:20:59,297
and she works
in software development.
518
00:20:59,331 --> 00:21:00,965
A management position, huh?
519
00:21:00,998 --> 00:21:03,301
In a typically
male-dominated field.
520
00:21:03,335 --> 00:21:05,737
She might be someone who
can potentially lead a room.
521
00:21:05,770 --> 00:21:07,872
Jury forewoman material.
We like that.
522
00:21:07,905 --> 00:21:09,874
And she just
filed for divorce.
523
00:21:09,907 --> 00:21:11,876
Infidelity?
524
00:21:11,909 --> 00:21:14,379
Uh, Cable says yes.
525
00:21:14,412 --> 00:21:15,547
Him or her?
526
00:21:16,348 --> 00:21:18,049
I just got a
nonverbal "him."
527
00:21:18,082 --> 00:21:19,451
Excellent.
528
00:21:19,484 --> 00:21:20,852
Woman's already of a mind
that the world
529
00:21:20,885 --> 00:21:22,654
and its institutions
are corrupt,
530
00:21:22,687 --> 00:21:24,856
that vows and promises
are worthless.
531
00:21:24,889 --> 00:21:26,991
Shouldn't be hard
to convince her that Warwick is
532
00:21:27,024 --> 00:21:29,861
just one more
in a line of big institutions
533
00:21:29,894 --> 00:21:31,729
built to let people down.
534
00:21:31,763 --> 00:21:33,665
Do you have any questions
for this juror?
535
00:21:34,899 --> 00:21:36,734
No, Your Honor.
536
00:21:36,768 --> 00:21:38,570
We find this juror acceptable.
537
00:21:38,603 --> 00:21:39,837
Mr. Dunn?
538
00:21:39,871 --> 00:21:40,972
We, too,
539
00:21:41,005 --> 00:21:42,507
accept this juror, Your Honor.
540
00:21:42,540 --> 00:21:44,342
FRANKLIN:
Good. We'll begin
541
00:21:44,376 --> 00:21:45,977
tomorrow morning, 9:00 a.m.
542
00:21:46,010 --> 00:21:47,979
(gavel bangs)
543
00:21:48,012 --> 00:21:50,014
(indistinct chatter)
544
00:21:53,885 --> 00:21:55,119
That was weird.
545
00:21:55,152 --> 00:21:57,355
They seemed almost as happy to
have that last juror as we did.
546
00:21:57,389 --> 00:21:59,491
I know.
(chuckles softly)
547
00:21:59,524 --> 00:22:01,793
Something's wrong.
548
00:22:08,099 --> 00:22:09,401
I need to know why the other
side's okay with that juror.
549
00:22:09,434 --> 00:22:10,802
Just doesn't make any sense.
550
00:22:10,835 --> 00:22:12,437
I don't know what
to tell you, Bull.
551
00:22:12,470 --> 00:22:14,372
She's an introvert.
She's anti-big business.
552
00:22:14,406 --> 00:22:16,040
There's nothing
in her motivational matrix
553
00:22:16,073 --> 00:22:18,009
that would seem to make her
attractive to the defense.
554
00:22:18,042 --> 00:22:20,945
Which means we don't fully
understand their strategy.
555
00:22:20,978 --> 00:22:24,148
Maybe I put too much weight
on the juror's divorce.
556
00:22:24,181 --> 00:22:26,150
I thought for sure
we could use her anger
557
00:22:26,183 --> 00:22:30,154
at her ex-husband's cheating
and channel it towards Warwick.
558
00:22:30,187 --> 00:22:32,624
What am I missing?
BENNY: Just a thought,
559
00:22:32,657 --> 00:22:34,959
but maybe they like her
for the same reasons we do.
560
00:22:34,992 --> 00:22:36,994
I don't follow that at all.
561
00:22:37,028 --> 00:22:39,163
Well, maybe they think that
someone on our side is cheating,
562
00:22:39,196 --> 00:22:40,865
being less than truthful.
563
00:22:41,899 --> 00:22:44,135
No, that's crazy.
Who's cheating?
564
00:22:44,168 --> 00:22:45,803
Who's being less
than truthful?
565
00:22:45,837 --> 00:22:48,039
I swear, I can vouch for
every plaintiff. I can vouch
566
00:22:48,072 --> 00:22:49,006
for every witness.
I can, too.
567
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,875
Be that as it may,
568
00:22:50,908 --> 00:22:52,810
here's what we need to do.
569
00:22:52,844 --> 00:22:53,945
I want everyone at TAC
570
00:22:53,978 --> 00:22:56,013
to double-check everyone
on our side.
571
00:22:56,047 --> 00:22:59,183
The whistleblower,
the expert witnesses-- everyone.
572
00:22:59,216 --> 00:23:01,052
(quietly): Look,
I'm not sure Benny's right,
573
00:23:01,085 --> 00:23:03,555
but it's the most plausible
explanation I've heard.
574
00:23:03,588 --> 00:23:05,790
Look for any inconsistencies,
575
00:23:05,823 --> 00:23:07,725
anything that can be painted
as a lie.
576
00:23:07,759 --> 00:23:09,527
And I need it done tonight.
577
00:23:09,561 --> 00:23:11,496
Okay.
578
00:23:11,529 --> 00:23:14,098
I think
we should shake things up,
579
00:23:14,131 --> 00:23:17,034
do anything we can to throw
the other side off-balance.
580
00:23:17,068 --> 00:23:19,136
Tomorrow, in court,
let's lead
581
00:23:19,170 --> 00:23:20,271
with the victims.
582
00:23:20,304 --> 00:23:24,576
Save our whistleblowers
and expert witnesses for last.
583
00:23:24,609 --> 00:23:26,611
(soft clanging, scraping)
584
00:23:28,245 --> 00:23:30,448
(sizzling)
585
00:23:32,684 --> 00:23:34,652
Oh.
586
00:23:34,686 --> 00:23:35,987
If I had known
587
00:23:36,020 --> 00:23:38,055
that making breakfast
was part of the package,
588
00:23:38,089 --> 00:23:40,592
I might have followed you
to that college.
589
00:23:46,798 --> 00:23:48,633
Okay.
590
00:23:48,666 --> 00:23:50,635
Here's something
you don't know.
591
00:23:50,668 --> 00:23:53,871
Those 16 times I came
by your house that summer
592
00:23:53,905 --> 00:23:56,741
to say good-bye,
593
00:23:56,774 --> 00:24:00,144
what I really wanted to do
was get you to run away with me,
594
00:24:00,177 --> 00:24:02,514
make a baby with me,
595
00:24:02,547 --> 00:24:07,118
live over a store with me in
some town where nobody knew us.
596
00:24:07,151 --> 00:24:09,821
I was completely prepared
to get a job at a gas station
597
00:24:09,854 --> 00:24:11,889
or a pizza parlor--
whatever it took.
598
00:24:11,923 --> 00:24:15,893
But college...
599
00:24:15,927 --> 00:24:19,631
was this thing
I was supposed to do.
600
00:24:21,766 --> 00:24:24,702
You were this thing I had to do.
601
00:24:24,736 --> 00:24:27,238
Every Bruce Springsteen song
I ever heard
602
00:24:27,271 --> 00:24:29,741
told me that was true.
603
00:24:32,143 --> 00:24:36,147
I just couldn't get the words
to come out of my mouth.
604
00:24:37,181 --> 00:24:39,751
You're forgiven.
605
00:24:39,784 --> 00:24:42,253
That was a long time ago.
606
00:24:45,790 --> 00:24:47,825
God.
607
00:24:47,859 --> 00:24:50,528
Ugh. What are you
doing up so early?
608
00:24:50,562 --> 00:24:52,764
Well, I'm glad you asked.
609
00:24:53,765 --> 00:24:55,867
I got a call.
610
00:24:55,900 --> 00:24:58,803
From someone who works for me.
611
00:24:58,836 --> 00:25:02,674
They think they know what the
defense has up their sleeves,
612
00:25:02,707 --> 00:25:03,975
who the cheater is.
613
00:25:04,008 --> 00:25:06,010
Well, fantastic. Who?
614
00:25:06,043 --> 00:25:07,612
They think it's you.
615
00:25:07,645 --> 00:25:09,847
I got an e-mail
with a copy
616
00:25:09,881 --> 00:25:12,684
of your great-grandfather's
death certificate.
617
00:25:12,717 --> 00:25:15,252
(chuckles)
Okay...
618
00:25:15,286 --> 00:25:17,755
You aware
that he died of lung cancer?
619
00:25:17,789 --> 00:25:20,558
1939. Houston
Plaza Hospital.
620
00:25:20,592 --> 00:25:22,727
I don't think I even remember
621
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,029
the guy's first name.
The man
622
00:25:25,062 --> 00:25:28,332
had died over 30 years
before I was even born.
623
00:25:28,365 --> 00:25:29,400
The problem is,
on your insurance application,
624
00:25:29,433 --> 00:25:33,805
you indicate no history
of cancer in your family.
625
00:25:33,838 --> 00:25:35,807
And that matters why?
626
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,643
I-I mean, I wasn't lying.
627
00:25:38,676 --> 00:25:39,811
I-I forgot.
628
00:25:39,844 --> 00:25:41,212
If I even ever knew.
629
00:25:41,245 --> 00:25:42,580
It's not like I have
lung cancer.
630
00:25:42,614 --> 00:25:43,915
I have kidney cancer.
631
00:25:43,948 --> 00:25:46,183
Allison, I believe you.
632
00:25:46,217 --> 00:25:49,320
But the defense,
if they get you on the stand,
633
00:25:49,353 --> 00:25:52,189
they will use that
and they will tear you apart.
634
00:25:54,792 --> 00:25:57,028
You're not gonna let me testify.
635
00:25:57,061 --> 00:25:59,196
No. That's not
what I'm saying.
636
00:25:59,230 --> 00:26:00,865
I'm just not gonna put you
on the stand
637
00:26:00,898 --> 00:26:02,800
and give them that opportunity.
638
00:26:02,834 --> 00:26:05,737
Now, if they want to question
you, they can call you.
639
00:26:05,770 --> 00:26:07,104
But that'll take
a couple of days,
640
00:26:07,138 --> 00:26:08,973
and... we can figure out
641
00:26:09,006 --> 00:26:10,708
what they're doing,
where they're going.
642
00:26:10,742 --> 00:26:11,876
Mm.
643
00:26:11,909 --> 00:26:14,045
And what if they don't call me?
644
00:26:19,383 --> 00:26:22,153
Allison,
645
00:26:22,186 --> 00:26:24,155
whatever you're gonna say...
646
00:26:24,188 --> 00:26:26,658
Don't say it doesn't matter.
647
00:26:26,691 --> 00:26:29,861
You got to make your little
"Born to Run" speech to me.
648
00:26:29,894 --> 00:26:31,863
I don't get to give one to them?
649
00:26:31,896 --> 00:26:35,332
To the jackals
who took my husband?
650
00:26:35,366 --> 00:26:37,268
Telling him he had
to make his numbers,
651
00:26:37,301 --> 00:26:38,936
even during a blizzard.
652
00:26:38,970 --> 00:26:43,140
To the greedy pigs
who dumped poison in my water.
653
00:26:44,842 --> 00:26:46,944
I don't get my turn?
654
00:26:46,978 --> 00:26:48,813
(sighs)
655
00:26:48,846 --> 00:26:52,850
You're not gonna be dead
in 12 to 16 months.
656
00:26:54,886 --> 00:26:56,053
(door opens, shuts)
657
00:26:56,087 --> 00:26:57,855
ZACK: What'd you
say to my mom?
658
00:26:57,889 --> 00:27:01,793
I told her that life--
659
00:27:01,826 --> 00:27:04,862
court-- isn't fair.
660
00:27:04,896 --> 00:27:07,699
You don't think she knows that?
661
00:27:07,732 --> 00:27:11,002
I told her we weren't
gonna put her on the stand.
662
00:27:11,035 --> 00:27:12,904
I wish you hadn't done that.
663
00:27:12,937 --> 00:27:16,007
Why? Were you
gonna tell her?
664
00:27:17,942 --> 00:27:21,445
People are entrusting you
with their futures,
665
00:27:21,478 --> 00:27:23,715
their family's futures.
666
00:27:23,748 --> 00:27:25,116
They've got
to count on the fact
667
00:27:25,149 --> 00:27:27,819
that you will do the hard
things, the tough things.
668
00:27:27,852 --> 00:27:29,020
Even though it's
669
00:27:29,053 --> 00:27:31,355
no fun.
670
00:27:32,389 --> 00:27:35,026
Aren't you glad
you asked?
671
00:27:36,027 --> 00:27:37,194
Mr. Burnam.
672
00:27:37,228 --> 00:27:40,698
Your first witness.
Yes, Your Honor.
673
00:27:40,732 --> 00:27:42,900
The plaintiffs would like
to call Brian McCannon.
674
00:27:44,936 --> 00:27:46,938
Morning, Brian.
675
00:27:46,971 --> 00:27:48,072
How you feeling?
676
00:27:48,105 --> 00:27:49,941
Today's a good day.
677
00:27:49,974 --> 00:27:52,810
I get both kinds,
but today's a good one.
678
00:27:52,844 --> 00:27:54,111
That's great to hear.
679
00:27:54,145 --> 00:27:55,379
Now, you live on land
680
00:27:55,412 --> 00:27:57,114
that has its own well,
do you not?
681
00:27:57,148 --> 00:27:58,449
I sure do.
682
00:27:58,482 --> 00:28:00,184
Quarter mile from the factory.
683
00:28:00,217 --> 00:28:02,186
And speaking of bad days,
684
00:28:02,219 --> 00:28:04,455
you've been sick a lot lately,
haven't you?
Yes.
685
00:28:04,488 --> 00:28:06,991
Just over the past year.
686
00:28:07,024 --> 00:28:08,425
And what were
your initial symptoms?
687
00:28:08,459 --> 00:28:11,395
Well, truth be told,
I hadn't felt well for a while,
688
00:28:11,428 --> 00:28:13,397
but it wasn't until
my first seizure
689
00:28:13,430 --> 00:28:15,332
that I realized
something was very wrong.
690
00:28:15,366 --> 00:28:17,134
You want to tell us
what happened?
691
00:28:17,168 --> 00:28:20,104
I was grocery shopping.
692
00:28:20,137 --> 00:28:22,473
Standing in the bread aisle,
and I just picked up
693
00:28:22,506 --> 00:28:24,041
a loaf of white bread,
694
00:28:24,075 --> 00:28:26,844
and I was gonna
put it in my cart
695
00:28:26,878 --> 00:28:29,180
when I felt this thing.
BULL:
I know you can't see it,
696
00:28:29,213 --> 00:28:31,148
but our lady's leaning in.
697
00:28:31,182 --> 00:28:33,184
I thought there was maybe
an earthquake.
698
00:28:33,217 --> 00:28:34,518
Series of explosions,
699
00:28:34,551 --> 00:28:37,922
vibrations or something.
700
00:28:37,955 --> 00:28:39,023
And then I realized
701
00:28:39,056 --> 00:28:41,158
it was me.
702
00:28:41,192 --> 00:28:43,227
I was vibrating. I was shaking.
703
00:28:43,260 --> 00:28:46,964
My hand. The bread.
704
00:28:46,998 --> 00:28:50,768
And I remember
just kind of deciding,
705
00:28:50,802 --> 00:28:52,970
I'm gonna sit right down here
706
00:28:53,004 --> 00:28:54,138
on the floor
of this grocery store
707
00:28:54,171 --> 00:28:56,007
until whatever this is passes.
708
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,042
And I started
to bend down to do that,
709
00:28:58,075 --> 00:28:59,977
and I somehow must have hit
my head on the floor.
710
00:29:00,011 --> 00:29:02,079
And they called 911.
711
00:29:02,113 --> 00:29:03,815
DANNY:
Bull, can you hear me?
712
00:29:03,848 --> 00:29:05,850
Danny, what is it?
I'm kind of busy.
713
00:29:05,883 --> 00:29:07,251
Bull, you need to call
for a recess.
714
00:29:07,284 --> 00:29:09,186
Whatever you do,
do not let the other side
715
00:29:09,220 --> 00:29:11,789
cross-examine.
And that's when
Dr. Cartwright started
716
00:29:11,823 --> 00:29:12,924
the battery of tests.
717
00:29:12,957 --> 00:29:14,125
What kind of tests?
718
00:29:14,158 --> 00:29:16,093
A bunch on me,
and a bunch on my water.
719
00:29:16,127 --> 00:29:17,094
And what did they reveal?
720
00:29:17,128 --> 00:29:20,131
That my water was sick
and that I was sicker.
721
00:29:21,298 --> 00:29:23,167
You can read it all
for yourself.
722
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:24,936
It's all there
in black and white.
723
00:29:24,969 --> 00:29:27,038
Your witness.
724
00:29:27,071 --> 00:29:28,840
Your Honor, we'd like to
call for a recess.
725
00:29:28,873 --> 00:29:29,941
What?
726
00:29:29,974 --> 00:29:31,175
JUDGE:
I'm confused.
727
00:29:31,208 --> 00:29:33,144
Are you the attorney of record?
728
00:29:33,177 --> 00:29:34,145
No, Mr. Burnam is.
729
00:29:34,178 --> 00:29:36,180
And can't you speak
for yourself?
730
00:29:36,213 --> 00:29:39,316
Yeah, of course I can.
731
00:29:39,350 --> 00:29:41,085
(clears throat)
732
00:29:41,118 --> 00:29:42,553
The plaintiffs
would like to request
733
00:29:42,586 --> 00:29:43,888
a short recess.
734
00:29:43,921 --> 00:29:45,056
Request denied.
735
00:29:45,089 --> 00:29:47,058
We've barely
gotten started here.
736
00:29:47,091 --> 00:29:48,893
Mr. Dunn, would you like
737
00:29:48,926 --> 00:29:50,161
to cross-examine this witness?
738
00:29:50,194 --> 00:29:51,996
I certainly would.
739
00:29:59,470 --> 00:30:01,873
Mr. McCannon...
740
00:30:01,906 --> 00:30:03,340
Just...
741
00:30:03,374 --> 00:30:06,243
I'd like to ask a few questions
742
00:30:06,277 --> 00:30:07,544
about your physician,
743
00:30:07,578 --> 00:30:11,215
Dr. Wallace Cartwright.
744
00:30:11,248 --> 00:30:13,317
Okay, sure.
745
00:30:13,350 --> 00:30:16,187
How long has Dr. Cartwright been
your primary care physician?
746
00:30:16,220 --> 00:30:18,489
Oh, at least a couple years.
747
00:30:18,522 --> 00:30:22,193
Our records say 22 months.
748
00:30:22,226 --> 00:30:24,195
Whatever.
749
00:30:24,228 --> 00:30:26,063
But you wouldn't take issue
750
00:30:26,097 --> 00:30:29,200
with the fact that he
became your doctor after news
751
00:30:29,233 --> 00:30:31,202
of the lawsuit
was on TV?
752
00:30:31,235 --> 00:30:33,104
The Internet?
In the papers?
753
00:30:33,137 --> 00:30:34,872
Objection. Relevance.
754
00:30:34,906 --> 00:30:36,173
Seriously?
755
00:30:41,278 --> 00:30:43,547
No, I wouldn't take issue
with that.
756
00:30:45,582 --> 00:30:48,152
Now, isn't Dr. Cartwright
also a...
757
00:30:48,185 --> 00:30:50,421
personal friend of yours?
758
00:30:50,454 --> 00:30:52,389
Someone you grew up with?
759
00:30:52,423 --> 00:30:54,291
Again, Your Honor. Relevance.
760
00:30:54,325 --> 00:30:56,593
PRESTON:
Oh, I guarantee you,
761
00:30:56,627 --> 00:30:59,196
there's abundant relevance,
Your Honor.
762
00:30:59,230 --> 00:31:00,031
JUDGE:
Overruled.
763
00:31:00,064 --> 00:31:02,233
The defense believes
this witness,
764
00:31:02,266 --> 00:31:04,168
with the help of his friend,
765
00:31:04,201 --> 00:31:05,937
has falsified his medical record
766
00:31:05,970 --> 00:31:08,239
in order to profit
from this lawsuit.
767
00:31:08,272 --> 00:31:11,008
And to prove it, we
would happily pay
768
00:31:11,042 --> 00:31:12,476
for an independent exam
769
00:31:12,509 --> 00:31:15,179
from a mutually agreed
upon physician.
770
00:31:15,212 --> 00:31:17,681
Mr. McCannon...
771
00:31:17,714 --> 00:31:20,284
would you be open
to such an exam?
772
00:31:22,286 --> 00:31:23,620
W-What do I do? Do I object?
773
00:31:23,654 --> 00:31:25,222
What's the point?
774
00:31:25,256 --> 00:31:27,424
Look at her. She's already
made up her mind.
775
00:31:27,458 --> 00:31:29,593
She knows a liar
776
00:31:29,626 --> 00:31:31,528
and a cheat when she sees one.
777
00:31:39,070 --> 00:31:41,672
Dr. Bull, maybe
it's not as bad as you think.
778
00:31:41,705 --> 00:31:44,275
Zack, I appreciate you've
never done this before,
779
00:31:44,308 --> 00:31:46,010
but believe me when I tell you,
780
00:31:46,043 --> 00:31:49,046
it's absolutely
as bad as I think.
781
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:50,948
Really?
Really.
782
00:31:50,982 --> 00:31:54,952
This case revolves
around one juror.
783
00:31:54,986 --> 00:31:56,220
One.
784
00:31:56,253 --> 00:31:59,090
And right now she thinks
that Brian
785
00:31:59,123 --> 00:32:01,058
and, by association,
your clients--
786
00:32:01,092 --> 00:32:04,661
all of them--
are liars and cheats,
787
00:32:04,695 --> 00:32:07,598
just like the man
she used to call her husband.
788
00:32:07,631 --> 00:32:10,167
But the defense can't prove
that Brian or his doctor
789
00:32:10,201 --> 00:32:12,036
actually falsified
those records.
790
00:32:12,069 --> 00:32:14,138
Only that he won't agree
to take another exam.
791
00:32:14,171 --> 00:32:16,240
And you don't find that damning?
792
00:32:18,275 --> 00:32:19,743
So what do we do now?
793
00:32:19,776 --> 00:32:21,112
You know the answer to that.
794
00:32:21,145 --> 00:32:23,614
We have to cut him loose.
795
00:32:23,647 --> 00:32:25,249
We're okay here...
796
00:32:25,282 --> 00:32:27,118
And we have to let that jury--
797
00:32:27,151 --> 00:32:29,153
and particularly that juror--
798
00:32:29,186 --> 00:32:32,089
know that we find
that kind of dishonesty
799
00:32:32,123 --> 00:32:33,991
even more repugnant
than she does.
800
00:32:34,025 --> 00:32:36,760
And what do we say to Brian?
I don't know.
801
00:32:36,793 --> 00:32:39,330
How about, "Thanks
for screwing up our case."
802
00:32:39,363 --> 00:32:42,299
Or "I really liked
the supermarket story,
803
00:32:42,333 --> 00:32:46,037
but how about if you're sick
the next time you use it?"
804
00:32:46,070 --> 00:32:47,204
Oh, I've got one.
805
00:32:47,238 --> 00:32:49,006
"You still have to pay us."
806
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:50,174
We'll pick and choose,
mix and match,
807
00:32:50,207 --> 00:32:52,043
but it'll be one of those.
808
00:32:52,076 --> 00:32:53,544
I can do this.
809
00:32:53,577 --> 00:32:56,980
The hard stuff, the tough stuff.
810
00:32:57,614 --> 00:32:59,616
I'll do it.
811
00:33:03,654 --> 00:33:07,024
Hey, um...
812
00:33:10,794 --> 00:33:12,996
(pebbles clatter on glass)
813
00:33:25,442 --> 00:33:27,678
Can Ally come out and play?
814
00:33:27,711 --> 00:33:29,646
I don't think that's wise.
815
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,082
I'll be your best friend.
816
00:33:31,115 --> 00:33:32,749
Jason...
Allison...
817
00:33:32,783 --> 00:33:33,817
No.
Okay.
818
00:33:33,850 --> 00:33:35,086
I'm coming up.
819
00:33:35,119 --> 00:33:36,620
What?
820
00:33:36,653 --> 00:33:38,122
No, stop it.
821
00:33:38,155 --> 00:33:39,323
Okay.
822
00:33:39,356 --> 00:33:40,457
I'm coming down, damn it.
823
00:33:40,491 --> 00:33:41,658
Just give me a minute.
824
00:33:41,692 --> 00:33:44,761
(window closes)
(chuckles)
825
00:33:44,795 --> 00:33:46,763
I know I was the one
826
00:33:46,797 --> 00:33:48,465
who said you shouldn't,
827
00:33:48,499 --> 00:33:49,833
but I'd like you to testify.
828
00:33:49,866 --> 00:33:52,169
Tomorrow.
829
00:33:52,203 --> 00:33:54,771
First thing.
830
00:33:54,805 --> 00:33:56,773
Something really bad must
have happened today.
831
00:33:57,808 --> 00:34:01,545
I was wrong about who
they thought cheated.
832
00:34:01,578 --> 00:34:03,780
Your son handled it
masterfully, by the way.
833
00:34:03,814 --> 00:34:07,351
We're gonna lose, aren't we?
834
00:34:07,384 --> 00:34:09,720
There's no way you would let
me anywhere near that stand
835
00:34:09,753 --> 00:34:11,388
if you thought we had
a shot at winning.
836
00:34:14,425 --> 00:34:15,759
I don't know
what's gonna happen.
837
00:34:15,792 --> 00:34:18,195
I know we have our experts,
they have their experts,
838
00:34:18,229 --> 00:34:20,764
but the bottom line
is we can't prove what they did
839
00:34:20,797 --> 00:34:24,335
caused what happened
to you and your neighbors.
840
00:34:24,368 --> 00:34:26,503
And they can't prove it didn't.
841
00:34:26,537 --> 00:34:28,305
The chemicals they used
aren't illegal,
842
00:34:28,339 --> 00:34:30,507
although the way they disposed
of them was reckless,
843
00:34:30,541 --> 00:34:33,177
which means it all comes down
to what a jury thinks.
844
00:34:33,210 --> 00:34:34,745
And right now that jury thinks
845
00:34:34,778 --> 00:34:37,748
that we are not
shooting straight with them.
846
00:34:37,781 --> 00:34:40,284
And I would like to know
847
00:34:40,317 --> 00:34:42,286
that somebody got something
that they wanted
848
00:34:42,319 --> 00:34:44,855
out of this.
849
00:34:44,888 --> 00:34:46,357
So, as a favor to me...
850
00:34:46,390 --> 00:34:48,559
if you're not doing anything...
851
00:34:48,592 --> 00:34:50,461
happen to be
in the neighborhood...
852
00:34:50,494 --> 00:34:53,130
don't have an issue
putting your hand on a Bible...
853
00:34:53,164 --> 00:34:54,831
would you mind
speaking your piece
(chuckles)
854
00:34:54,865 --> 00:34:56,800
in court?
855
00:34:58,935 --> 00:35:01,772
Call your witness, Mr. Burnam.
856
00:35:01,805 --> 00:35:05,142
The plaintiffs would like
to call Allison Burnam.
857
00:35:11,248 --> 00:35:14,351
Hey, Mom.
858
00:35:14,385 --> 00:35:15,852
Hey, kiddo.
859
00:35:18,855 --> 00:35:22,493
How long have you lived
in Danville?
860
00:35:22,526 --> 00:35:24,861
Over a quarter-century.
861
00:35:24,895 --> 00:35:28,199
Virtually my entire adult life.
862
00:35:28,232 --> 00:35:29,533
And what brought you here?
863
00:35:29,566 --> 00:35:31,668
Warwick Furniture Manufacturing.
864
00:35:31,702 --> 00:35:34,371
My husband-- we were newlyweds--
865
00:35:34,405 --> 00:35:37,441
got a job with Warwick
as a salesman.
866
00:35:37,474 --> 00:35:38,809
And your husband--
867
00:35:38,842 --> 00:35:40,777
my father--
868
00:35:40,811 --> 00:35:43,280
is no longer with us, correct?
869
00:35:43,314 --> 00:35:45,782
He died in 2004.
870
00:35:45,816 --> 00:35:48,285
He was driving up to Buffalo
on a sales call.
871
00:35:48,319 --> 00:35:49,720
There was a blizzard
872
00:35:49,753 --> 00:35:52,923
and a bad traffic accident
on the thruway.
873
00:35:52,956 --> 00:35:55,359
11 cars...
874
00:35:55,392 --> 00:35:58,695
So given all that time, and all
that you've been through...
875
00:35:58,729 --> 00:36:01,398
all that you're
going through now,
876
00:36:01,432 --> 00:36:03,300
you must have
some strong feelings
877
00:36:03,334 --> 00:36:05,236
about Danville and Warwick.
878
00:36:05,269 --> 00:36:06,937
I do.
879
00:36:06,970 --> 00:36:08,939
Objection. Relevance.
880
00:36:08,972 --> 00:36:11,275
Objection overruled.
881
00:36:11,308 --> 00:36:13,344
Please continue.
882
00:36:13,377 --> 00:36:14,811
ZACK:
You were saying...
883
00:36:17,548 --> 00:36:19,550
I love Danville.
884
00:36:21,952 --> 00:36:23,520
You were born here.
885
00:36:23,554 --> 00:36:26,323
Our house is here.
886
00:36:27,991 --> 00:36:31,962
We had all those Halloweens,
887
00:36:31,995 --> 00:36:33,997
all those...
everythings.
888
00:36:34,030 --> 00:36:38,001
Magical things happen
in this town.
889
00:36:38,034 --> 00:36:40,471
I even had
an old boyfriend
890
00:36:40,504 --> 00:36:44,741
show up out of the blue
to try and help me today.
891
00:36:47,344 --> 00:36:49,280
And how do you
feel about Warwick?
892
00:36:49,313 --> 00:36:50,914
PRESTON:
Objection, Your Honor.
893
00:36:50,947 --> 00:36:54,385
What possible relevance could
the plaintiff's feelings
894
00:36:54,418 --> 00:36:56,520
for the defendant have?
JUDGE FRANKLIN:
Counselor.
895
00:36:56,553 --> 00:36:58,489
Sit down and be quiet.
896
00:36:59,790 --> 00:37:01,692
ZACK:
You were saying.
897
00:37:01,725 --> 00:37:02,826
Warwick...
898
00:37:02,859 --> 00:37:06,797
I am...
899
00:37:06,830 --> 00:37:08,499
so grateful to them,
900
00:37:08,532 --> 00:37:11,268
for so many things.
901
00:37:11,302 --> 00:37:12,303
You listening to this?
902
00:37:12,336 --> 00:37:13,437
Did you prep her?
903
00:37:13,470 --> 00:37:14,505
Tell her what to say?
904
00:37:14,538 --> 00:37:16,907
No.
905
00:37:16,940 --> 00:37:17,941
It's all her.
906
00:37:17,974 --> 00:37:19,510
ZACK: So explain
this to me.
907
00:37:19,543 --> 00:37:21,645
You have kidney cancer.
908
00:37:21,678 --> 00:37:24,615
You lost your husband.
This trial today
909
00:37:24,648 --> 00:37:27,017
has wiped you out financially.
910
00:37:27,050 --> 00:37:28,919
And yet you're saying
you're grateful?
911
00:37:28,952 --> 00:37:32,956
I'm not grateful for the cancer,
of course.
912
00:37:32,989 --> 00:37:37,761
And I would trade... anything
913
00:37:37,794 --> 00:37:41,832
to have my husband back.
914
00:37:41,865 --> 00:37:44,435
And there are days when
I'm really bitter.
915
00:37:46,737 --> 00:37:49,973
But... I know, in my heart,
916
00:37:50,006 --> 00:37:53,944
that Warwick didn't put
the ice on the highway
917
00:37:53,977 --> 00:37:57,514
that made my husband's car hit
the car in front of him.
918
00:37:57,548 --> 00:37:59,816
They pushed him
to sell, sure.
919
00:37:59,850 --> 00:38:02,719
But he was a big boy
and he would have pushed back
920
00:38:02,753 --> 00:38:05,622
if he wanted to.
921
00:38:05,656 --> 00:38:07,758
He loved his job.
922
00:38:07,791 --> 00:38:11,027
And that's the reason he
was on the road that day.
923
00:38:11,061 --> 00:38:13,330
That's the reason we lived here.
924
00:38:13,364 --> 00:38:15,799
It's the reason
we're all here today.
925
00:38:20,971 --> 00:38:24,908
As far as the cancer...
926
00:38:24,941 --> 00:38:28,979
I know that no one put poison
in the ground
927
00:38:29,012 --> 00:38:30,547
knowing that it would do this.
928
00:38:30,581 --> 00:38:32,749
They couldn't have.
929
00:38:32,783 --> 00:38:35,085
They're my friends,
they're my neighbors.
930
00:38:35,118 --> 00:38:37,020
And I know that the company
stopped doing it
931
00:38:37,053 --> 00:38:40,391
as soon as they realized that
it was seeping into the wells.
932
00:38:40,424 --> 00:38:43,660
So if you're okay
with everything,
933
00:38:43,694 --> 00:38:45,396
why are we here?
934
00:38:48,131 --> 00:38:50,867
I guess we're here because
935
00:38:50,901 --> 00:38:53,003
when bad things
started happening
936
00:38:53,036 --> 00:38:54,971
to the people who depended on
that water,
937
00:38:55,005 --> 00:38:58,008
and we went to Warwick for help,
938
00:38:58,041 --> 00:39:02,479
instead of saying,
"How can we help you?"
939
00:39:02,513 --> 00:39:05,081
they said,
"Prove it."
940
00:39:05,115 --> 00:39:06,983
And I think
941
00:39:07,017 --> 00:39:10,687
we were all just... stunned.
942
00:39:10,721 --> 00:39:13,023
It was as if our friends,
943
00:39:13,056 --> 00:39:16,760
our neighbors...
944
00:39:16,793 --> 00:39:19,496
our town no longer cared for us.
945
00:39:19,530 --> 00:39:22,032
This town is Warwick.
946
00:39:24,100 --> 00:39:26,169
I mean, if my dog got
out of my backyard
947
00:39:26,202 --> 00:39:29,873
and bit the little boy who lives
next door to me,
948
00:39:29,906 --> 00:39:31,508
I would run over there
and I would say,
949
00:39:31,542 --> 00:39:32,876
"What can I do to help?
950
00:39:32,909 --> 00:39:34,110
"Can I drive you
to the hospital?
951
00:39:34,144 --> 00:39:34,911
Can I pay for the doctor?"
952
00:39:34,945 --> 00:39:36,947
I wouldn't say,
"Those don't look
953
00:39:36,980 --> 00:39:38,515
like my dog's teeth marks."
954
00:39:38,549 --> 00:39:41,017
ZACK: And how much did you
and the others ask for?
955
00:39:41,051 --> 00:39:45,422
Enough to cover our medical
bills and time lost from work.
956
00:39:45,456 --> 00:39:47,524
And also that they
re-pipe our wells
957
00:39:47,558 --> 00:39:49,192
to a safe water source.
958
00:39:49,225 --> 00:39:50,961
ZACK:
And how much did they offer?
959
00:39:50,994 --> 00:39:53,564
Nothing, as far as the wells go.
960
00:39:53,597 --> 00:39:58,401
And about a tenth of the money
we needed to be made whole.
961
00:40:00,236 --> 00:40:03,707
And still... you're not mad?
962
00:40:06,209 --> 00:40:08,044
I have my moments,
963
00:40:08,078 --> 00:40:11,114
but... no.
964
00:40:11,147 --> 00:40:15,652
It would be like being mad
at myself.
965
00:40:15,686 --> 00:40:17,087
If that makes any sense.
966
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,924
It does to me.
967
00:40:24,661 --> 00:40:25,962
No further questions.
968
00:40:25,996 --> 00:40:29,099
Is the defense prepared
to cross?
969
00:40:29,132 --> 00:40:32,603
Absolutely, Your Honor,
if I could just beg
970
00:40:32,636 --> 00:40:36,607
the court's indulgence
for a brief recess.
971
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,775
We'll take a 15-minute recess.
972
00:40:38,809 --> 00:40:40,811
(gavel pounds)
973
00:40:46,517 --> 00:40:48,118
(quietly):
That was amazing.
974
00:40:48,151 --> 00:40:49,152
Thank you.
975
00:40:51,154 --> 00:40:53,890
Did I just just make a total
fool out of myself up there?
976
00:40:53,924 --> 00:40:57,160
Not even close, Mom.
977
00:40:57,193 --> 00:40:58,795
How you feeling?
978
00:40:58,829 --> 00:41:00,130
Pretty good.
979
00:41:00,163 --> 00:41:02,032
Thanks for making it happen.
980
00:41:02,065 --> 00:41:04,467
(phone buzzes)
981
00:41:08,304 --> 00:41:12,576
Hmm. If you folks will
excuse me for a moment...
982
00:41:14,044 --> 00:41:16,046
Thank you, sweetie.
Yeah, of course.
983
00:41:23,887 --> 00:41:26,189
20 times our original offer.
984
00:41:26,222 --> 00:41:28,725
And we'll take care
of the piping.
985
00:41:28,759 --> 00:41:31,528
Let's just end this now.
986
00:41:31,562 --> 00:41:34,998
That's very generous.
987
00:41:35,031 --> 00:41:37,701
You have to get her her
house back from the bank.
988
00:41:37,734 --> 00:41:40,003
In fact, for all her
pain and suffering,
989
00:41:40,036 --> 00:41:42,105
you have to pay it off.
990
00:41:46,009 --> 00:41:48,979
Come on. I'm doing
your work here.
991
00:41:49,012 --> 00:41:51,214
Trying to keep you
out of court.
992
00:41:52,583 --> 00:41:54,718
Done.
993
00:42:05,261 --> 00:42:06,597
(car doors closing)
994
00:42:06,630 --> 00:42:07,864
Hey, you guys
wait out here.
995
00:42:07,898 --> 00:42:09,900
I'll go and get my
mom and Dr. Bull.
996
00:42:09,933 --> 00:42:11,568
Um, but give me a minute.
997
00:42:11,602 --> 00:42:13,536
She might be resting.
998
00:42:15,005 --> 00:42:16,272
*
999
00:42:16,306 --> 00:42:18,108
* There's no room
for relationships *
1000
00:42:18,141 --> 00:42:19,976
* There's just room to hit it
1001
00:42:20,010 --> 00:42:21,311
* How many brothers out there
know just what I'm gettin' at? *
1002
00:42:21,344 --> 00:42:23,013
* Who think it's wrong
1003
00:42:23,046 --> 00:42:24,881
* 'Cause I was splittin'
and co-hittin' that? *
1004
00:42:24,915 --> 00:42:27,150
* Well, if you do, that's O.P.P.
and you're not down with it *
1005
00:42:27,183 --> 00:42:28,318
* But if you don't,
here's your membership *
1006
00:42:28,351 --> 00:42:30,120
(Ally laughing nearby)
1007
00:42:30,153 --> 00:42:31,287
* You down with O.P.P.?
* Yeah, you know me *
1008
00:42:31,321 --> 00:42:32,889
* You down with O.P.P?
1009
00:42:32,923 --> 00:42:34,090
* Yeah, you know me *
1010
00:42:34,124 --> 00:42:35,225
* You down with O.P.P?
1011
00:42:35,258 --> 00:42:36,793
* Yeah, you know me *
1012
00:42:36,827 --> 00:42:37,861
* Who's down with O.P.P?
1013
00:42:37,894 --> 00:42:39,095
(sighs)
1014
00:42:39,129 --> 00:42:41,331
She coming out?
1015
00:42:41,364 --> 00:42:43,734
No. I don't,
I don't think so.
1016
00:42:43,767 --> 00:42:46,369
Um, she's kind of down
for the count.
1017
00:42:46,402 --> 00:42:47,871
And Dr. Bull?
1018
00:42:47,904 --> 00:42:49,272
Him, too.
1019
00:42:50,373 --> 00:42:51,474
But I'm thinking
picnic in the park!
1020
00:42:51,507 --> 00:42:53,644
* You down with O.P.P?
* Yeah, you know me *
1021
00:42:53,677 --> 00:42:55,211
* You down with O.P.P?
1022
00:42:55,245 --> 00:42:56,212
* Yeah, you know me *
1023
00:42:56,246 --> 00:42:57,280
* You down with O.P.P.?
1024
00:42:57,313 --> 00:42:58,281
* Yeah, you know me *
1025
00:42:58,314 --> 00:43:00,316
* Who's down with O.P.P?
1026
00:43:00,350 --> 00:43:02,318
* You down with O.P.P?
* Yeah, you know me *
1027
00:43:02,352 --> 00:43:03,987
* You down with O.P.P?
1028
00:43:04,020 --> 00:43:05,989
* Yeah, you know me *
* You down with O.P.P?
