[screams]
3
00:00:18,583 --> 00:00:21,107
It had an iPod dock,
satellite radio
4
00:00:21,194 --> 00:00:22,891
voice-activated,
navigation system, um--
5
00:00:22,978 --> 00:00:25,764
- Plates, make, model and color.
- What about the VIN number?
6
00:00:29,942 --> 00:00:32,031
I don't think that you guys
appreciate the severity
7
00:00:32,118 --> 00:00:35,382
of my victimization,
this car is my eternal nucleus.
8
00:00:37,776 --> 00:00:41,084
It's a Malibu,
with an iPod dock.
9
00:00:46,176 --> 00:00:48,395
When you got hit by Malcolm,
who was there for you?
10
00:00:48,482 --> 00:00:50,832
When you got hit by Adam,
who was there for you?
11
00:00:50,919 --> 00:00:53,270
Who is always there
for you, always?
12
00:00:53,357 --> 00:00:55,315
- God? Close.
- Me!
13
00:00:55,402 --> 00:00:57,404
And when I'm need of just
a little support
14
00:00:57,491 --> 00:01:00,364
when I have been
violated you.. Ugh!
15
00:01:06,326 --> 00:01:08,241
Oh, can I help you?
16
00:01:08,328 --> 00:01:12,332
You can't help me, you're rude,
rude doesn't help me.
17
00:01:12,419 --> 00:01:14,552
- Harry, I need you.
- Why?
18
00:01:14,639 --> 00:01:17,642
How we doing, everybody?
Came as soon as I could.
19
00:01:17,729 --> 00:01:20,166
Hey, I know you, you're that
Tommy Jefferson.
20
00:01:20,253 --> 00:01:22,386
I seen you on TV,
man of the people.
21
00:01:22,473 --> 00:01:25,693
Damien Winslow, I'm a man
of the people, too.
22
00:01:25,780 --> 00:01:30,176
Ah, you, I need you to help me
get my car back, Mr. Person.
23
00:01:30,263 --> 00:01:33,701
I need to hire Damien Winslow
securities, INC.
24
00:01:33,788 --> 00:01:35,225
I have some pictures of it
on my computer.
25
00:01:35,312 --> 00:01:36,791
Excuse me, please?
26
00:01:38,663 --> 00:01:41,100
- Harry, look, little problem.
- What's that?
27
00:01:41,187 --> 00:01:43,668
- Albinos.
- Come again?
28
00:01:43,755 --> 00:01:46,366
African Albinos,
they're being deported.
29
00:01:46,453 --> 00:01:48,194
Perfect Tommy Jefferson case,
buttons to push
30
00:01:48,281 --> 00:01:50,327
strings to pull,
what's not to love?
31
00:01:50,414 --> 00:01:52,198
It's a home run for yours truly.
32
00:01:52,285 --> 00:01:54,069
So, what's the problem?
33
00:01:54,157 --> 00:01:56,463
They make me nauseous.
34
00:01:58,552 --> 00:02:01,033
- Albinos make you nauseous?
- To look at.
35
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,600
- Ever seen one?
- Tommy.
36
00:02:02,687 --> 00:02:05,037
You know it's not like me
to ask, for help.
37
00:02:05,124 --> 00:02:07,344
I mean, why would I?
I'm Tommy Jefferson.
38
00:02:07,431 --> 00:02:10,434
But lives are at stake here,
I'm battling a difficult law
39
00:02:10,521 --> 00:02:13,263
a tough U.S. Attorney
and nausea.
40
00:02:14,394 --> 00:02:15,874
It's a two-day trial, tops.
41
00:02:15,961 --> 00:02:17,223
The Immigration court
is in Cleveland.
42
00:02:17,310 --> 00:02:18,920
We could stay over
if you prefer
43
00:02:19,007 --> 00:02:21,749
have a couple of drinks
at the hotel.
44
00:02:21,836 --> 00:02:27,712
I wouldn't ask, Harry, but
you and I have a relationship.
45
00:02:27,799 --> 00:02:31,977
Look, Tommy, I've made very few
promises to myself in life.
46
00:02:32,064 --> 00:02:34,066
One was to never go
to Cleveland.
47
00:02:34,153 --> 00:02:38,026
Please, these are good people,
they need your help.
48
00:02:38,113 --> 00:02:40,377
They need an attorney who can
fight for them, one who can..
49
00:02:41,465 --> 00:02:44,859
...look at them.
50
00:02:44,946 --> 00:02:46,861
[theme music]
51
00:02:55,522 --> 00:02:57,524
Albinos are routinely
murdered in Tanzania.
52
00:02:57,611 --> 00:02:59,744
We left the country
two years ago.
53
00:02:59,831 --> 00:03:01,180
We were making our way
to Dallas.
54
00:03:01,267 --> 00:03:03,269
There is a Tanzanian
community there.
55
00:03:03,356 --> 00:03:06,229
We got as far as Cincinnati
before when we ran out of money.
56
00:03:06,316 --> 00:03:08,970
Okay, and how is it
you got arrested?
57
00:03:09,057 --> 00:03:11,321
- I have all this information.
- Well, I don't.
58
00:03:13,148 --> 00:03:16,761
We were staying in an abandoned
house, uh, there was a raid.
59
00:03:16,848 --> 00:03:18,110
- I.C.
- E must have been tipped.
60
00:03:18,197 --> 00:03:20,373
I must say your English
sounds pretty good.
61
00:03:20,460 --> 00:03:22,332
That's not the Tanzanian
language, is it?
62
00:03:22,419 --> 00:03:25,248
It's mostly Swahili,
but English is also spoken.
63
00:03:25,335 --> 00:03:28,251
Plus I also went to university
in Boston, so mine..
64
00:03:31,166 --> 00:03:32,777
How you doing?
65
00:03:32,864 --> 00:03:34,518
He doesn't like to look at us.
66
00:03:34,605 --> 00:03:39,697
Okay, look, timing is
everything, and yours stinks.
67
00:03:39,784 --> 00:03:41,481
In the history of America,
you picked the worst
68
00:03:41,568 --> 00:03:44,049
possible moment
to be an immigrant.
69
00:03:44,136 --> 00:03:46,486
And you should also know,
it's hard enough getting
70
00:03:46,573 --> 00:03:48,358
asylum as it is,
but getting it after
71
00:03:48,445 --> 00:03:50,098
you've been arrested, it's..
72
00:03:51,970 --> 00:03:55,582
- I don't mean to make you cry.
- Harry, albinos can't cry.
73
00:03:55,669 --> 00:03:58,063
Their tear ducts aren't
fully developed.
74
00:03:58,150 --> 00:04:01,153
- Who told you that?
- What?
75
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,460
We are fully capable
of crying, Mr. Jefferson.
76
00:04:04,809 --> 00:04:06,985
Trust me.
77
00:04:07,072 --> 00:04:09,727
[dramatic music]
78
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,167
The man is unbelievable.
79
00:04:15,254 --> 00:04:17,256
Adam, I'm gonna need
to do some down and dirty
80
00:04:17,343 --> 00:04:19,432
research on the requirements
of asylum.
81
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:21,565
- Malcolm, you can help him.
- Okay.
82
00:04:23,088 --> 00:04:25,612
Good news, Jenna, I know
who's got your car.
83
00:04:25,699 --> 00:04:27,353
You do? Can you get it back?
84
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,877
Uh, well, see,
knowing where it is
85
00:04:29,964 --> 00:04:31,357
ain't quite the same
as getting it back.
86
00:04:31,444 --> 00:04:33,316
- You know what I'm saying?
- No.
87
00:04:33,403 --> 00:04:35,927
[Damien]
'Well, see, from the point
of view of the person'
88
00:04:36,014 --> 00:04:39,278
or persons who took the car,
it's their car now.
89
00:04:39,365 --> 00:04:41,802
What?! Is he on drugs?
90
00:04:41,889 --> 00:04:44,239
I set up a meet, Harry,
I'mma need you or Adam to help.
91
00:04:44,327 --> 00:04:46,154
- Can't, I'm off to Cleveland.
- Harry!
92
00:04:46,241 --> 00:04:48,461
Yes, I know, it's a Malibu.
93
00:04:48,548 --> 00:04:51,116
- Adam, you handle it.
- I want to be present, too.
94
00:04:51,203 --> 00:04:52,509
- Not a good idea.
- Why?
95
00:04:52,596 --> 00:04:54,467
'Cause clearly,
you're too emotional.
96
00:04:54,554 --> 00:04:56,556
I mean, how could you not be,
the thing had an iPod dock.
97
00:04:56,643 --> 00:04:58,863
Don't think that I don't know
when I'm being mocked.
98
00:04:58,950 --> 00:05:00,778
- I'm not.
- Yes, you are.
99
00:05:00,865 --> 00:05:03,302
'Look, suppose you did go,
what would happen if somebody'
100
00:05:03,389 --> 00:05:06,087
came in here looking to buy
a peep toe sling back
101
00:05:06,174 --> 00:05:07,915
do me like a dog pump?
102
00:05:08,002 --> 00:05:09,656
Have you considered
the tragic consequences
103
00:05:09,743 --> 00:05:11,571
of you not being here?
104
00:05:11,658 --> 00:05:14,139
For your information,
our shoe business
105
00:05:14,226 --> 00:05:15,923
supports our law practice.
106
00:05:16,010 --> 00:05:18,143
I'm bringing in money
while you're out there
107
00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:20,101
'defending drug addicts
for free.'
108
00:05:20,188 --> 00:05:22,234
And by the way,
I've totally figured you out.
109
00:05:22,321 --> 00:05:23,844
- Have you now?
- 'Yes.'
110
00:05:23,931 --> 00:05:25,629
You're a pretty bigot.
111
00:05:25,716 --> 00:05:27,457
You were probably picked
on in high school
112
00:05:27,544 --> 00:05:30,068
by the pretty girls who giggled
as you stood by the punch bowl
113
00:05:30,155 --> 00:05:32,070
waiting for some guy
to ask you to dance.
114
00:05:32,157 --> 00:05:34,507
'You have a thing
against the pretties'
115
00:05:34,594 --> 00:05:38,206
and I'm a pretty, well,
I can't help my looks, okay?
116
00:05:38,293 --> 00:05:40,687
'You got to go with what God
gives you, and right now'
117
00:05:40,774 --> 00:05:43,211
I can't go anywhere
because I don't have a car!
118
00:05:49,479 --> 00:05:52,264
Okay, this just needs
to be said.
119
00:05:52,351 --> 00:05:54,701
The girl is mentally challenged.
120
00:05:54,788 --> 00:05:56,964
Harry?
121
00:05:57,051 --> 00:06:00,228
The U.S. Attorney just brought
a motion to seal the room.
122
00:06:00,315 --> 00:06:02,709
We need to get to Cleveland now.
123
00:06:02,796 --> 00:06:05,538
Look, I typically don't care
whether a room is sealed or not
124
00:06:05,625 --> 00:06:08,802
but given Mr. Jefferson's
penchant for publicity
125
00:06:08,889 --> 00:06:10,717
I have serious concerns
that he might try to--
126
00:06:10,804 --> 00:06:12,850
A shot over the bow,
is that how we begin?
127
00:06:12,937 --> 00:06:14,634
- Cause let me tell you, Red--
- Tommy.
128
00:06:14,721 --> 00:06:17,768
I meant no disrespect,
you're an excellent attorney.
129
00:06:17,855 --> 00:06:21,032
I certainly know this but you're
also a notorious grandstander.
130
00:06:21,119 --> 00:06:23,077
Your Honor, he can say
what he wants about me.
131
00:06:23,164 --> 00:06:25,036
I can take it, I'm a big boy.
132
00:06:25,123 --> 00:06:28,169
But the president of the United
States, our commander in chief
133
00:06:28,256 --> 00:06:31,346
'he has declared transparency
to be in the national interest'
134
00:06:31,434 --> 00:06:34,611
in the White House,
in Congress, in the courts.
135
00:06:34,698 --> 00:06:36,917
So, if the United States
government is seeking
136
00:06:37,004 --> 00:06:38,963
to ship a bunch of poor Albinos
137
00:06:39,050 --> 00:06:41,400
back to a place where
they will face torture
138
00:06:41,487 --> 00:06:43,141
then the American public
certainly
139
00:06:43,228 --> 00:06:44,316
has a right to know about it.
140
00:06:44,403 --> 00:06:47,232
Mr. Flynn's motion is granted.
141
00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:49,756
- What? Why?
- Let it go, Tommy.
142
00:06:49,843 --> 00:06:51,628
When you seal a room,
you're suggesting
143
00:06:51,715 --> 00:06:54,369
you have something to hide,
I'd simply like to remind you
144
00:06:54,457 --> 00:06:57,851
of the president's mandate
for transparency.
145
00:06:57,938 --> 00:07:00,941
Thank you, Mr. Jefferson,
the motion is granted.
146
00:07:01,028 --> 00:07:04,989
I'll, uh, explain myself
to the president should he call.
147
00:07:05,076 --> 00:07:07,774
[instrumental music]
148
00:07:13,780 --> 00:07:15,173
We'd received a tip
that illegal immigrants
149
00:07:15,260 --> 00:07:17,001
were housed
at the aforementioned address.
150
00:07:17,088 --> 00:07:20,395
- 'Myself and several I.C.
- E agents
proceeded to raid the premises'
151
00:07:20,483 --> 00:07:22,528
'upon which we discovered
the respondents'
152
00:07:22,615 --> 00:07:24,704
'all sleeping at the time.'
153
00:07:24,791 --> 00:07:26,314
'Our entry awakened them'
154
00:07:26,401 --> 00:07:28,926
'at which point,
they attempted to flee.'
155
00:07:29,013 --> 00:07:31,276
Did you identify yourselves
as federal agents?
156
00:07:31,363 --> 00:07:34,148
Yes, that seemed to bring
them little comfort.
157
00:07:34,235 --> 00:07:36,760
They all ran, we managed
to apprehend them.
158
00:07:36,847 --> 00:07:39,023
'Upon asking for identification,
it was determined'
159
00:07:39,110 --> 00:07:41,112
that they had entered
the country illegally.
160
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:43,984
'At that point, we placed
them under arrest'
161
00:07:44,071 --> 00:07:45,725
as status violators.
162
00:07:45,812 --> 00:07:47,727
Is it fair to say
that my clients became scared
163
00:07:47,814 --> 00:07:49,120
when you entered the house?
164
00:07:49,207 --> 00:07:51,165
I would imagine
they were scared, yes.
165
00:07:51,252 --> 00:07:54,125
[Harry]
'And, honestly, sir,
if armed men suddenly charged'
166
00:07:54,212 --> 00:07:55,430
'into your house in the middle
of the night'
167
00:07:55,518 --> 00:07:57,302
'wouldn't your instinct
be to flee?'
168
00:07:57,389 --> 00:07:59,391
Excuse me, I don't mean
to interrupt, but the fear
169
00:07:59,478 --> 00:08:00,784
they experienced during
their arrest isn't really
170
00:08:00,871 --> 00:08:02,699
an issue before the court.
171
00:08:02,786 --> 00:08:04,614
Mr. Flynn, you were careful
to introduce
172
00:08:04,701 --> 00:08:06,485
that my clients
attempted to flee.
173
00:08:06,572 --> 00:08:08,618
You did so to establish
their guilty state of mind.
174
00:08:08,705 --> 00:08:10,445
Counsel,
if and when he makes
175
00:08:10,533 --> 00:08:12,360
that argument
you can then make yours.
176
00:08:12,447 --> 00:08:14,798
Your Honor, one last item,
because I think it serves
177
00:08:14,885 --> 00:08:17,757
as backdrop as to what
both this proceeding
178
00:08:17,844 --> 00:08:20,238
and the United States of America
is, I'll keep it short.
179
00:08:20,325 --> 00:08:22,893
Two words, melting pot.
180
00:08:22,980 --> 00:08:24,982
I'll say it again, melting pot.
181
00:08:26,897 --> 00:08:29,116
Thank you, Mr. Jefferson,
I'm touched
182
00:08:29,203 --> 00:08:32,293
as I'm beginning to suspect,
are you.
183
00:08:32,380 --> 00:08:34,992
Let's continue.
184
00:08:35,079 --> 00:08:37,385
Tommy, maybe I should
do this one alone.
185
00:08:37,472 --> 00:08:39,605
Am I off?
186
00:08:39,692 --> 00:08:41,825
I don't quite feel myself,
am I off?
187
00:08:41,912 --> 00:08:45,002
[instrumental music]
188
00:08:46,917 --> 00:08:49,484
I'm out on bail now, they say
me and this guy Dwayne
189
00:08:49,572 --> 00:08:51,269
stole some TVs from Best Boy.
190
00:08:51,356 --> 00:08:53,097
- Did you?
- No, and I can prove that.
191
00:08:53,184 --> 00:08:56,013
But see, I can't prove it,
you follow?
192
00:08:56,100 --> 00:08:59,407
I don't follow, and when do we
get to the part about my car?
193
00:08:59,494 --> 00:09:01,584
See, at the time
the TVs were being stolen
194
00:09:01,671 --> 00:09:04,587
I was somewhere else,
but I can't exactly say where.
195
00:09:04,674 --> 00:09:06,327
- You follow?
- No.
196
00:09:06,414 --> 00:09:07,807
You were stealing something
from somewhere else.
197
00:09:07,894 --> 00:09:09,809
I don't admit that,
but if it were true
198
00:09:09,896 --> 00:09:11,506
it would be a
Mercedes 500 S class.
199
00:09:11,594 --> 00:09:13,030
Still not my car.
200
00:09:13,117 --> 00:09:14,945
And when the cops
got Dwayne, they told him
201
00:09:15,032 --> 00:09:16,990
to give up the guy
he stole the TVs with.
202
00:09:17,077 --> 00:09:19,253
For whatever reason,
Dwayne gave up me
203
00:09:19,340 --> 00:09:20,907
even though
I was completely innocent.
204
00:09:20,994 --> 00:09:24,911
Can we just fast forward
to Jenna's car, please?
205
00:09:24,998 --> 00:09:27,392
- I know where it is.
- Because you stole it.
206
00:09:27,479 --> 00:09:29,133
What are you looking for,
Jamaal?
207
00:09:31,526 --> 00:09:33,920
I need a lawyer
on the stolen TV thing.
208
00:09:34,007 --> 00:09:36,880
A good one, not that
lame public defender
209
00:09:36,967 --> 00:09:39,709
they hook me up with,
Damien says you people are good.
210
00:09:41,667 --> 00:09:43,713
So, basically,
if I represent you on that
211
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,105
you'll return Jenna's car.
212
00:09:46,585 --> 00:09:48,239
Represent me for free.
213
00:09:49,283 --> 00:09:52,069
And you have to win.
214
00:09:54,898 --> 00:09:56,508
I think that sounds
totally fair.
215
00:09:56,595 --> 00:09:59,032
But may I offer one little
tweak to the plan?
216
00:10:01,556 --> 00:10:04,516
You return my car now,
and I don't give your prints
217
00:10:04,603 --> 00:10:06,344
and your DNA to the police.
218
00:10:06,431 --> 00:10:08,694
- Cops already got my prints.
- Oh, really?
219
00:10:08,781 --> 00:10:11,610
Well, do they have your
digitally recorded confession?
220
00:10:11,697 --> 00:10:13,133
Whoa, whoa, whoa, that ain't
the way this works.
221
00:10:13,220 --> 00:10:14,918
Oh, yes, it is.
222
00:10:15,005 --> 00:10:18,704
Jamaal, you seem like a good
kid, but you stole my Malibu
223
00:10:18,791 --> 00:10:21,446
and that pisses me Jamaal off.
224
00:10:21,533 --> 00:10:23,970
Comprendez parlez vous, Jamaal?
225
00:10:24,057 --> 00:10:27,278
You have pissed me off.
226
00:10:27,365 --> 00:10:30,063
[instrumental music]
227
00:10:32,544 --> 00:10:36,548
There are witch doctors
who believe that body parts
228
00:10:36,635 --> 00:10:39,812
from albinos
have supernatural powers.
229
00:10:39,899 --> 00:10:41,596
'They use them to make potions.'
230
00:10:41,684 --> 00:10:43,424
These potions are supposed
231
00:10:43,511 --> 00:10:47,211
to bring prosperity,
wealth and good luck.
232
00:10:47,298 --> 00:10:51,650
There are Albino hunters
who find albinos and..
233
00:10:54,958 --> 00:10:57,351
The hunters have machetes.
234
00:11:01,007 --> 00:11:02,661
[Ungese]
They hack off arms..
235
00:11:02,748 --> 00:11:05,142
[screaming]
236
00:11:06,491 --> 00:11:07,710
...legs..
237
00:11:09,973 --> 00:11:11,714
...and leave the person to die.
238
00:11:14,281 --> 00:11:17,023
My cousins and I knew
we had to leave Tanzania
239
00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:18,938
or we would be killed.
240
00:11:19,025 --> 00:11:21,941
'The five of us
made a plan to leave.'
241
00:11:22,028 --> 00:11:23,943
The five of you?
242
00:11:24,030 --> 00:11:26,424
Benjamin, he didn't
make it out.
243
00:11:28,382 --> 00:11:29,949
Benjamin was?
244
00:11:31,124 --> 00:11:32,604
My brother.
245
00:11:34,084 --> 00:11:36,086
What happened?
246
00:11:36,173 --> 00:11:39,002
[Sikonge]
'The night we were to leave,
he was captured.'
247
00:11:40,612 --> 00:11:42,266
Do you know what happened
to him?
248
00:11:45,704 --> 00:11:48,272
His arms and legs were cut off.
249
00:11:48,359 --> 00:11:50,665
[dramatic music]
250
00:11:56,454 --> 00:11:58,108
How old was Benjamin?
251
00:11:59,849 --> 00:12:01,502
Thirteen.
252
00:12:05,158 --> 00:12:07,900
[sobbing]
253
00:12:19,433 --> 00:12:21,392
The way my business
works is on trust.
254
00:12:21,479 --> 00:12:22,959
I have a trust
with the neighborhood.
255
00:12:23,046 --> 00:12:24,961
My word has to be good
with people.
256
00:12:25,048 --> 00:12:26,571
My name is now trash
'cause of that little
257
00:12:26,658 --> 00:12:28,225
stunt you just pulled,
you feel me, girl?
258
00:12:28,312 --> 00:12:30,444
There's certain things you
don't do, you got that?
259
00:12:30,531 --> 00:12:32,316
I think I do, oh,
and one of them
260
00:12:32,403 --> 00:12:35,449
we can now add it to the list,
is steal my car.
261
00:12:35,536 --> 00:12:37,277
Well, you may not
get your car back now.
262
00:12:37,364 --> 00:12:39,323
And I don't know what'll
happen 'cause you just shot up
263
00:12:39,410 --> 00:12:41,891
all my trust in the neighborhood
that's what you just did.
264
00:12:55,513 --> 00:12:58,559
- May I help you?
- My name is Denise Raines.
265
00:12:58,646 --> 00:13:02,825
- Jamaal is my brother.
- The car thief.
266
00:13:02,912 --> 00:13:05,001
What's going on? Jamaal
said he was in some trouble.
267
00:13:05,088 --> 00:13:06,480
Something about stolen
televisions.
268
00:13:06,567 --> 00:13:08,308
It's actually a little more
serious.
269
00:13:08,395 --> 00:13:10,310
- Your brother stole a car.
- Mine.
270
00:13:11,398 --> 00:13:12,486
Are you sure about this?
271
00:13:12,573 --> 00:13:14,488
I have his confession
and his DNA.
272
00:13:14,575 --> 00:13:15,925
- Jenna.
- What?
273
00:13:21,887 --> 00:13:24,759
I'll see that your car
is returned.
274
00:13:24,847 --> 00:13:26,979
I'm very sorry.
275
00:13:27,066 --> 00:13:29,808
[instrumental music]
276
00:13:47,086 --> 00:13:48,609
You look at homeless
people on the street?
277
00:13:49,610 --> 00:13:51,047
I'm sorry?
278
00:13:51,134 --> 00:13:52,700
You know, you're walking
down the street
279
00:13:52,787 --> 00:13:55,051
homeless person sitting
at the curb, do you look?
280
00:13:55,138 --> 00:13:58,184
Make eye contact? I don't.
281
00:13:58,271 --> 00:13:59,838
- They make you nauseous?
- No.
282
00:13:59,925 --> 00:14:03,755
I don't look
'cause it depresses me.
283
00:14:03,842 --> 00:14:05,278
Not simply that they're homeless
284
00:14:05,365 --> 00:14:07,802
but, because I can't help.
285
00:14:07,890 --> 00:14:09,804
Not in the whole,
I mean, sure, I should
286
00:14:09,892 --> 00:14:12,285
give the guy ten bucks,
but 30 yards down the street
287
00:14:12,372 --> 00:14:15,593
there's another one, and
another one, and another one.
288
00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:19,858
I don't look 'cause
futility overcomes me.
289
00:14:22,339 --> 00:14:24,254
Same with your human
tragedies worldwide.
290
00:14:24,341 --> 00:14:26,299
You got your Somalians,
your Haitians.
291
00:14:26,386 --> 00:14:30,477
Today, it's the Tanzanians,
I can't keep up.
292
00:14:30,564 --> 00:14:32,349
There's suffering all over
the world, Harry.
293
00:14:32,436 --> 00:14:37,745
And I can't make a difference,
and the futility of it all..
294
00:14:37,832 --> 00:14:40,226
Well, don't look at the macro
picture, then.
295
00:14:40,313 --> 00:14:41,924
Maybe you can help just one.
296
00:14:42,011 --> 00:14:44,970
Or, in this case,
our four clients.
297
00:14:45,057 --> 00:14:47,190
That's futile, too, probably.
298
00:14:48,887 --> 00:14:51,020
This is one lousy time
to be an immigrant.
299
00:14:51,107 --> 00:14:53,500
We're throwing out
the Asians, the Indians
300
00:14:53,587 --> 00:14:56,851
people who study at Harvard,
Stanford, doctors, scientists.
301
00:14:56,939 --> 00:14:59,419
We're giving them the heave-ho
when it's in our
302
00:14:59,506 --> 00:15:01,639
national interest to keep them.
303
00:15:01,726 --> 00:15:03,684
Well, the issue isn't
whether we want them
304
00:15:03,771 --> 00:15:06,165
it's whether they
qualify for asylum.
305
00:15:06,252 --> 00:15:09,952
Come on, Harry, cases always
come down to what a judge
306
00:15:10,039 --> 00:15:12,389
or jury wants,
end of the day
307
00:15:12,476 --> 00:15:16,045
it's what they want, and
trust me, it ain't Albinos.
308
00:15:16,132 --> 00:15:18,525
[indistinct chatter]
309
00:15:21,964 --> 00:15:23,878
I'm going to admit
something to you.
310
00:15:23,966 --> 00:15:27,099
Confidential, it's not
something I tell people.
311
00:15:30,494 --> 00:15:33,018
I cry when I'm sad.
312
00:15:33,105 --> 00:15:36,717
These cases
they make me weak.
313
00:15:36,804 --> 00:15:39,372
And for Tommy Jefferson,
that's not something..
314
00:15:44,073 --> 00:15:45,944
It's okay to be weak, Tommy.
315
00:15:46,858 --> 00:15:48,033
Really?
316
00:15:49,513 --> 00:15:50,818
Really.
317
00:15:53,082 --> 00:15:56,085
I'm feeling shame over
something I did.
318
00:15:56,172 --> 00:15:57,956
What?
319
00:15:58,043 --> 00:16:02,352
Well, when the Albinos
first came in to hire me..
320
00:16:02,439 --> 00:16:04,267
...mind you, I did not know
their plight at the time.
321
00:16:05,311 --> 00:16:06,747
I told them I was expensive.
322
00:16:07,618 --> 00:16:10,055
I said..
323
00:16:10,142 --> 00:16:11,970
"...Be prepared to pay
an arm and a leg."
324
00:16:16,061 --> 00:16:19,456
It's one of the reasons I can't
make eye contact with them.
325
00:16:19,543 --> 00:16:22,285
That, and, they're
funny-looking.
326
00:16:22,372 --> 00:16:24,939
[instrumental music]
327
00:16:28,552 --> 00:16:30,554
I saw that.
328
00:16:30,641 --> 00:16:33,035
You're trying not to laugh,
I saw that.
329
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,821
Tommy Jefferson, how you doing?
330
00:16:46,309 --> 00:16:47,440
[Flynn]
'First of all let me say
and I think I can speak'
331
00:16:47,527 --> 00:16:49,094
'for everybody
in this courtroom'
332
00:16:49,181 --> 00:16:52,097
my heart goes out to you
and the other respondents.
333
00:16:52,184 --> 00:16:54,752
This isn't whether the United
States government sympathizes.
334
00:16:54,839 --> 00:16:57,929
We absolutely do, but I do
have some questions.
335
00:16:58,016 --> 00:17:00,410
And I guess my first would be
336
00:17:00,497 --> 00:17:02,934
did you come to America
to seek asylum?
337
00:17:03,500 --> 00:17:05,023
Yes.
338
00:17:05,110 --> 00:17:07,547
Well, what took you
so long to seek it, then?
339
00:17:07,634 --> 00:17:09,114
'You've been here two years.'
340

342
00:17:13,597 --> 00:17:15,033
They don't wait to get arrested.
343
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:17,122
- Objection.
- Overruled.
344
00:17:17,209 --> 00:17:18,819
Now,
you came to America before
345
00:17:18,906 --> 00:17:20,299
to study at Boston University.
346
00:17:20,386 --> 00:17:22,301
- Did you not?
- I did.
347
00:17:22,388 --> 00:17:23,911
[Flynn]
'And after you graduated'
348
00:17:23,998 --> 00:17:25,522
'you chose to go back
to Tanzania.'
349
00:17:25,609 --> 00:17:27,872
I find that curious,
if you really faced this
350
00:17:27,959 --> 00:17:29,874
type of persecution.
351
00:17:29,961 --> 00:17:32,877
I thought things had progressed,
they hadn't.
352
00:17:32,964 --> 00:17:36,576
[Flynn]
'Forgive me, and I don't doubt
that these atrocities do occur'
353
00:17:36,663 --> 00:17:39,666
but are you using this
persecution as a pretext
354
00:17:39,753 --> 00:17:41,581
to gain entry into America?
355
00:17:41,668 --> 00:17:43,192
Am I using it as a pretext?
356
00:17:43,279 --> 00:17:45,585
Well, first, you chose
to go back.
357
00:17:45,672 --> 00:17:47,500
And then, you're here for
two years with no apparent
358
00:17:47,587 --> 00:17:49,894
plan to seek asylum
until you get arrested
359
00:17:49,981 --> 00:17:52,592
and then, presto, suddenly
you feel persecuted.
360
00:17:52,679 --> 00:17:54,290
It is a little suspicious.
361
00:17:54,377 --> 00:17:56,770
You actually think we're
fabricating the persecution?
362
00:17:56,857 --> 00:17:58,903
I just wonder
if you overstated.
363
00:17:58,990 --> 00:18:00,644
I don't.
364
00:18:00,731 --> 00:18:03,473

Oh, my God.

00:18:11,916 --> 00:18:13,657
Oh, my God!

[Jenna squealing]
369
00:18:17,269 --> 00:18:20,968
Oh, I missed you so much.
370
00:18:21,055 --> 00:18:23,145
My brother was afraid
to return it.
371
00:18:23,232 --> 00:18:25,843
- He thought he might be set up.
- Why would he think that?
372
00:18:25,930 --> 00:18:30,021
Last time he came here,
he was set up.
373
00:18:30,108 --> 00:18:34,068
Look, I know you people made no
deal to defend my brother but..
374
00:18:34,156 --> 00:18:36,549
Well, will you?
He's a decent kid.
375
00:18:36,636 --> 00:18:38,812
He's just fallen
into a bad crowd.
376
00:18:38,899 --> 00:18:41,424
If only some lawyer
would take a chance on him.
377
00:18:43,991 --> 00:18:46,429
- You can't relate?
- Oh, so you did your homework.
378
00:18:46,516 --> 00:18:48,996
I'll pay his legal fees,
if that's what you're concerned.
379
00:18:51,999 --> 00:18:54,480
Look, I'll ask them,
can't make any promises, but..
380
00:18:55,264 --> 00:18:57,266
...I'll ask.
381
00:18:57,353 --> 00:19:00,269
Shifting gears a little.
382
00:19:00,356 --> 00:19:01,661

'As such, I am fully aware
of the atrocities'

being carried out against
the Albino people.
386
00:19:12,977 --> 00:19:14,935
Does the government
of Tanzania condone
387
00:19:15,022 --> 00:19:16,502
this kind of persecution?
388
00:19:16,589 --> 00:19:18,069
No, we do not.
389
00:19:18,156 --> 00:19:19,418
Yes, there is horrific violence
390
00:19:19,505 --> 00:19:21,159
being directed towards
these people
391
00:19:21,246 --> 00:19:23,030
'but our government
condemns it'

'and prosecutes
those responsible.'
393
00:19:24,945 --> 00:19:26,425
It is our duty
to protect all
394
00:19:26,512 --> 00:19:29,428
of the citizens of Tanzania,
including Albinos
395
00:19:29,515 --> 00:19:32,518
and we live up to that
responsibility.
396
00:19:32,605 --> 00:19:35,086
These people, the ones running
around chopping off the arms
397
00:19:35,173 --> 00:19:37,828
and legs of Albinos,
they've all been arrested?
398
00:19:37,915 --> 00:19:39,830
- Certainly, not all.
- Most of them?
399
00:19:39,917 --> 00:19:42,746
- A lot.
- Fantastic that's really swell.

[Harry]
'How many trials
have there been?'
401
00:19:44,878 --> 00:19:46,140
I would have to check
the records.
402
00:19:46,228 --> 00:19:47,185
I could not give you
an exact number
403
00:19:47,272 --> 00:19:48,926
off the top of my head.
404
00:19:49,013 --> 00:19:50,406
Well, at least you still
have the top of your head.
405
00:19:50,493 --> 00:19:51,668
'That's not something
to be taken'
406
00:19:51,755 --> 00:19:53,278
'for granted in Tanzania,
is it?'
407
00:19:53,365 --> 00:19:54,801
- You think you're funny?
- 'Not trying to be.'
408
00:19:54,888 --> 00:19:56,847
In fact, I take this matter
very seriously.
409
00:19:56,934 --> 00:19:58,109
Does your Tanzanian government?
410
00:19:58,196 --> 00:19:59,893
I just testified that it does.
411
00:19:59,980 --> 00:20:01,634
It just seems, if you
were really serious about
412
00:20:01,721 --> 00:20:04,507
ending the murder
and dismemberment of Albinos
413
00:20:04,594 --> 00:20:06,117
'they'd be convicting
more than a few'
414
00:20:06,204 --> 00:20:07,988
of these vicious,
sadistic monsters.
415
00:20:08,075 --> 00:20:10,904
We have had some trials,
we've obtained convictions.
416
00:20:10,991 --> 00:20:14,125
We have called upon the people
to report these Albino hunters.
417
00:20:14,212 --> 00:20:16,127
And despite all these
heroic efforts
418
00:20:16,214 --> 00:20:17,824
the butchery still goes on.
419
00:20:17,911 --> 00:20:19,783
One reason being,
the people of Tanzania
420
00:20:19,870 --> 00:20:21,611
aren't really so against it,
are they?
421
00:20:21,698 --> 00:20:24,918
Gang violence continues to go
on in the United States.
422
00:20:25,005 --> 00:20:27,356
Should one then assume
the American people are for it?
423
00:20:27,443 --> 00:20:29,227
We certainly prosecute gang
violence with more vigilance--
424
00:20:29,314 --> 00:20:31,925
You cannot keep all of your
citizens safe, neither can we.
425
00:20:32,012 --> 00:20:33,318
We don't need
to flee our country.

[male #1]
'Neither do Tanzanians.'
427
00:20:34,537 --> 00:20:36,713
That is precisely the point.
428
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,977
There are havens, your
clients did not seek them.
429
00:20:40,064 --> 00:20:43,197
They opted
for the American dream.
430
00:20:43,285 --> 00:20:45,983
If you would like to bestow
that dream, I have no objection
431
00:20:46,070 --> 00:20:48,028
but do not do so
with bigotry and prejudice
432
00:20:48,115 --> 00:20:49,900
directed towards my country.
433

[instrumental music]
434
00:21:06,351 --> 00:21:07,961
I know that if I could
help him get his degree
435
00:21:08,048 --> 00:21:12,052
and I can, then I could help him
get into a Community College.
436
00:21:13,706 --> 00:21:16,187
No offense, but, uh,
how does somebody
437
00:21:16,274 --> 00:21:18,407
from your neighborhood
get to be a successful
438
00:21:18,494 --> 00:21:20,147
real estate broker
at the age of 20?
439
00:21:20,234 --> 00:21:22,672
I got lucky is what it was.
440
00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:25,022
When I was 17,
I got a job cleaning at one
441
00:21:25,109 --> 00:21:29,331
of those high-rise condominium
palaces downtown.
442
00:21:29,418 --> 00:21:31,376
Anyway, they had a lot
of vacancies
443
00:21:31,463 --> 00:21:34,727
and I convinced the owner,
who was also the general manager
444
00:21:34,814 --> 00:21:37,121
to let me try and sell
a unit one day.
445
00:21:37,208 --> 00:21:39,079
- How'd you do that?
- I flirted.
446
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,865
I'm a good flirt.
447
00:21:41,952 --> 00:21:44,171
Anyway, at the end of
the month, I had sold 12.
448
00:21:44,258 --> 00:21:45,999
You sold 12 units in a month?
449
00:21:47,479 --> 00:21:50,047
I'm a really good flirt.
450
00:21:50,134 --> 00:21:51,527
I'm now the in-house broker
451
00:21:51,614 --> 00:21:54,921
for that building
and six others.
452
00:21:55,008 --> 00:21:58,403
The American dream is alive
and well, Malcolm.
453
00:21:58,490 --> 00:22:00,971
It's just harder to find.
454
00:22:01,058 --> 00:22:02,451
I wanna help my brother
find it..
455
00:22:03,974 --> 00:22:05,367
...before it's too late.
456
00:22:08,370 --> 00:22:11,329
So, we close tomorrow,
then the judge rules.
457
00:22:11,416 --> 00:22:13,070
- What do you think?
- I don't know.
458
00:22:13,157 --> 00:22:14,680
It's getting really contentious.
459
00:22:20,382 --> 00:22:22,645
- Heard you got your car back.
- Yep, I did.
460
00:22:26,692 --> 00:22:28,259
- Wasn't stripped or--
- Nope.
461
00:22:31,871 --> 00:22:33,395
Okay, stop it.
462
00:22:36,006 --> 00:22:39,923
Look, when two people,
especially office colleagues
463
00:22:40,010 --> 00:22:43,405
have a disagreement,
it can cause hurt, pain.
464

'Finally, at some point,
they air it all out'

'eventually make up
and move on.'

00:22:48,410 --> 00:22:50,412
What I'd like to do,
Jenna, is pretend
467
00:22:50,499 --> 00:22:54,503
we did all that nonsense, so we
can be done with this crap!
468
00:22:55,939 --> 00:22:57,419
You see that?
469
00:22:57,506 --> 00:22:59,769
You so devalue me
470
00:22:59,856 --> 00:23:02,032
that you can't even be bothered
with having a fight.
471
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,426
- That isn't true.
- Yes, it is.
472
00:23:04,513 --> 00:23:07,429
You don't respect me,
you hurt me.

00:23:07,516 --> 00:23:09,605
You can't be bothered
with trying to..
474
00:23:12,434 --> 00:23:14,740
I get it, Harry,
I get it.
475
00:23:17,613 --> 00:23:18,962
You know what, Jenna?
476
00:23:19,049 --> 00:23:21,573
I am bothered
and a little hurt myself.
477
00:23:21,660 --> 00:23:23,619
That little punch bowl
remark.
478
00:23:23,706 --> 00:23:26,360
I may not have been picked
on by the pretties
479
00:23:26,448 --> 00:23:28,711
but I did spend a lot of time
at high school dances
480
00:23:28,798 --> 00:23:30,452
waiting for some boy to..
481
00:23:33,367 --> 00:23:36,066
That hurt, Jenna, I'm sure
to you I may seem
482
00:23:36,153 --> 00:23:38,764
big enough to rise
above it and I am.
483
00:23:38,851 --> 00:23:40,984
I've spent a lifetime
rising above it
484
00:23:41,071 --> 00:23:43,203
but that doesn't mean
the remarks don't hurt.
485
00:23:46,468 --> 00:23:50,472
I'm sorry, Harry, really, I..
486
00:23:50,559 --> 00:23:53,213
...I had no idea
that you were so..
487
00:23:54,911 --> 00:23:56,565
...full of crap.
488
00:23:56,652 --> 00:23:58,175
This devaluing of me
489
00:23:58,262 --> 00:24:00,699
has been going on
for a long time
490
00:24:00,786 --> 00:24:03,310
way before I made
that punch bowl remark.
491
00:24:03,397 --> 00:24:05,008
So, don't try to use
that as an excuse
492
00:24:05,095 --> 00:24:07,663
to justify all the abuse
that you've heaped on me.
493
00:24:07,750 --> 00:24:10,013
And if you are a person
who seems to know
494
00:24:10,100 --> 00:24:12,406
that remarks cut deep,
then why the hell
495
00:24:12,494 --> 00:24:14,539
do you constantly make them?

Is there liquor
in that friggin' room?

Why does she keep
going in there?
499
00:24:34,298 --> 00:24:35,734
Can I ask you a question?
500
00:24:38,563 --> 00:24:40,434
Got a girlfriend?
501
00:24:40,522 --> 00:24:42,524
I'm sorry, too forward,
never mind, I get it.
502
00:24:43,481 --> 00:24:45,265
Do you?
503
00:24:46,963 --> 00:24:49,487
No, you?
504
00:24:49,574 --> 00:24:52,055
Have a girlfriend? No, I..

508
00:25:00,324 --> 00:25:01,804
What?
509
00:25:03,893 --> 00:25:06,548
[sighs]
Jamaal, damn it.
510

who pretends to be
your friend, do you hear me?
512
00:25:15,252 --> 00:25:16,819
What?
513
00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:20,257
Denise, what?
514
00:25:20,344 --> 00:25:23,129
He got himself arrested,
he stole a car.
515
00:25:24,566 --> 00:25:26,045
I'm sorry.
516
00:25:26,132 --> 00:25:29,266
I don't know what
to do anymore, I-I don't.
517
00:25:29,353 --> 00:25:32,269
[instrumental music]
518
00:25:47,893 --> 00:25:49,416
[cars honking at a distance]
519
00:25:50,809 --> 00:25:54,421
Okay, just came
from the D.A.'s office.
520
00:25:54,508 --> 00:25:56,685
The reason they haven't
arraigned you yet, Jamaal
521
00:25:56,772 --> 00:25:58,643
is you're not really
the one they're after.
522
00:25:58,730 --> 00:26:00,340
- They want your boss.
- My boss?
523
00:26:00,427 --> 00:26:03,213
His code name is Dick Cheney,
I love that.
524
00:26:03,300 --> 00:26:06,129
They say you might be the only
one who knows who he is.
525
00:26:06,216 --> 00:26:08,522
- Who is Dick Cheney?
- He runs a car-theft ring.
526
00:26:08,610 --> 00:26:10,307
A pretty sophisticated one,
and your brother
527
00:26:10,394 --> 00:26:12,004
is evidently his first
lieutenant.
528
00:26:12,091 --> 00:26:13,745
- That's a lie.
- Oh, my God.
529
00:26:13,832 --> 00:26:16,052
The offer is, you flip Dick,
you walk.
530
00:26:16,139 --> 00:26:19,185
I-I can't flip, man's been good
to me, you know what I'm saying?
531
00:26:19,272 --> 00:26:23,015
Plus, I don't know
what he would do if-if..
532
00:26:23,102 --> 00:26:26,149
- Is he dangerous?
- I don't know, he could be.
533
00:26:26,236 --> 00:26:30,457
Nobody's turned on him
before. He could be.
534
00:26:30,544 --> 00:26:32,285
Well, you gotta make
a decision, Jamaal.
535
00:26:37,290 --> 00:26:39,466
How much time do
I have on this here?
536
00:26:39,553 --> 00:26:41,817
Well, I don't know,
you will get time
537
00:26:41,904 --> 00:26:43,427
'especially if they're
looking to squeeze you'
538
00:26:43,514 --> 00:26:46,560
three months,
probably, could be six.
539
00:26:46,648 --> 00:26:48,911
Look, I need time
to think about this.
540
00:26:48,998 --> 00:26:51,217
Well, you don't have long,
if there's no deal
541
00:26:51,304 --> 00:26:52,654
you'll be arraigned tomorrow.
542
00:27:00,879 --> 00:27:03,403
Let me just ask.
543
00:27:03,490 --> 00:27:06,885
If he agrees to do this and
this Dick Cheney is dangerous
544
00:27:06,972 --> 00:27:08,452
will the police protect Jamaal?
545
00:27:08,539 --> 00:27:09,801
I doubt that.
546
00:27:14,153 --> 00:27:16,895
Then maybe it's best
he just takes the three months.
547
00:27:16,982 --> 00:27:19,811
[intense music]
548
00:27:21,944 --> 00:27:26,078
You're talking about an
unspeakable type of persecution.
549
00:27:26,165 --> 00:27:29,212
As I said earlier, everybody
in this room has to sympathize.
550
00:27:29,299 --> 00:27:32,694
But look, bad criminals
exist everywhere.
551
00:27:32,781 --> 00:27:35,000
Consider Mexico,
the, uh, drug cartels
552
00:27:35,087 --> 00:27:38,308
'set their victims on fire,
sometimes behead them.'
553
00:27:38,395 --> 00:27:40,571
The problem is,
once we open our doors
554
00:27:40,658 --> 00:27:42,878
to every persecuted
foreign national
555
00:27:42,965 --> 00:27:44,836
well, you can watch
the lines form.
556
00:27:44,923 --> 00:27:49,232
Homosexuals are still murdered
in parts of Nigeria, Sudan
557
00:27:49,319 --> 00:27:51,451
'Somalia, Saudi Arabia.'
558
00:27:51,538 --> 00:27:54,324
'In Iran, you are stoned
to death for adultery.'
559
00:27:54,411 --> 00:27:57,588
Pakistan, too,
Darfur. Forget it.
560
00:27:57,675 --> 00:28:00,504
Domestically, we are already
hemorrhaging as it is
561
00:28:00,591 --> 00:28:04,203
we can't take care of Americans,
we can't feed everybody here
562
00:28:04,290 --> 00:28:06,423
can't house them,
can't educate or employ them.
563
00:28:06,510 --> 00:28:08,164
'This country is an
absolute mess.'
564
00:28:08,251 --> 00:28:11,645
One in seven people live
below the poverty line
565
00:28:11,733 --> 00:28:15,040
and we're gonna open our doors
to the rest of the world?
566
00:28:15,127 --> 00:28:17,303
'The Mexican citizens alone
would be enough to bring'
567
00:28:17,390 --> 00:28:19,915
'us to our knees, it's
possible they already have.'
568
00:28:20,002 --> 00:28:23,005
And I'm just gonna say this
because it needs to be said.
569
00:28:23,092 --> 00:28:26,443
The stuff that goes on
in Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan
570
00:28:26,530 --> 00:28:29,185
'how easy would it be
for somebody in Al Qaeda'
571
00:28:29,272 --> 00:28:32,057
'to come here under the pretext
of being a persecuted citizen'
572
00:28:32,144 --> 00:28:34,451
of one of those countries,
gain asylum here
573
00:28:34,538 --> 00:28:36,714
and become embedded
in the United States?
574
00:28:36,801 --> 00:28:39,456
Now, I'm sorry, I know
that's not you people
575
00:28:39,543 --> 00:28:43,112
but our courts have
to be mindful of precedents.
576
00:28:43,199 --> 00:28:44,940
Your Honor, you have
to concern yourself
577
00:28:45,027 --> 00:28:48,030
'not simply with the immediate
impact of your ruling'
578
00:28:48,117 --> 00:28:50,467
but with the lasting
effects as well.
579
00:28:50,554 --> 00:28:53,862
We cannot be the safe haven
580
00:28:53,949 --> 00:28:56,125
for all the world's
victims anymore.
581
00:28:57,343 --> 00:28:59,737
It would be nice if we could.
582
00:28:59,824 --> 00:29:01,217
We just can't.
583
00:29:12,968 --> 00:29:15,840
I can't take issue
with much of what he said.
584
00:29:15,927 --> 00:29:18,408
Something tells me you will,
just the same.
585
00:29:20,410 --> 00:29:23,108
Well, I do object to little
throwaways to the Mexicans
586
00:29:23,195 --> 00:29:25,632
which were designed to push
your anti-immigration button.
587
00:29:25,719 --> 00:29:27,721
- If you got one.
- I don't.
588
00:29:31,900 --> 00:29:35,425
The Supreme Court said they
couldn't define obscenity
589
00:29:35,512 --> 00:29:37,819
but they know it
when they see it.
590
00:29:37,906 --> 00:29:41,170
Why the hell they were watching
porn isn't clear, but..
591
00:29:41,257 --> 00:29:45,957
I would suppose justice
is equally hard to define.
592
00:29:46,044 --> 00:29:49,091
But I imagine you'd know
it when you see it.
593
00:29:49,178 --> 00:29:52,355
Sending these people back
to Tanzania
594
00:29:52,442 --> 00:29:54,618
where they'd face an almost
certain likelihood
595
00:29:54,705 --> 00:29:58,665
of being hunted down and having
their limbs hacked off
596
00:29:58,752 --> 00:30:02,147
that can't be any judge's
version of justice.
597
00:30:02,234 --> 00:30:05,803
I doubt very much it's yours.
598
00:30:05,890 --> 00:30:09,111
It's one thing as a policymaker
to say, as did Mr. Flynn
599
00:30:09,198 --> 00:30:12,462
'we can't just open our doors
and throw down the welcome mat'
600
00:30:12,549 --> 00:30:15,291
for every persecuted
foreign national.
601
00:30:15,378 --> 00:30:17,293
It's quite another
for you as a judge
602
00:30:17,380 --> 00:30:20,557
to take the affirmative step
to send innocent people
603
00:30:20,644 --> 00:30:24,082
back to a place
where they will be butchered.
604
00:30:24,169 --> 00:30:25,954
You'd never be able to tell
your grandchildren
605
00:30:26,041 --> 00:30:28,913
that that's what you did today.
606
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,570
And there's a reason for that,
it would shock their conscience
607
00:30:33,657 --> 00:30:35,485
as it has to shock yours
608
00:30:36,834 --> 00:30:39,358
as it certainly shocks mine.
609
00:30:39,445 --> 00:30:42,361
True, the Tanzanian government
officially condemns
610
00:30:42,448 --> 00:30:45,234
the practice, just like
the State of Georgia
611
00:30:45,321 --> 00:30:47,976
I suppose, bans fellatio.
612
00:30:48,063 --> 00:30:49,020
But I've been to Georgia.
613
00:30:49,107 --> 00:30:50,804
- And trust me--
- Counsel..
614
00:30:50,892 --> 00:30:52,458
[Harry]
'My point is, just because
a government'
615
00:30:52,545 --> 00:30:55,244
is savvy enough to use
language of deniability
616
00:30:55,331 --> 00:30:56,941
that doesn't mean these people
617
00:30:57,028 --> 00:30:58,943
should be maimed
and dismembered.
618
00:30:59,030 --> 00:31:01,815
[dramatic music]
619
00:31:06,081 --> 00:31:10,607
I've always felt that our
country and our courtrooms
620
00:31:11,695 --> 00:31:14,785
have a soul, if you will.
621
00:31:14,872 --> 00:31:17,396
That may sound silly,
but most legal scholars
622
00:31:17,483 --> 00:31:21,661
will say our justice
is tempered with compassion
623
00:31:21,748 --> 00:31:24,447
and deeply rooted
in human rights.
624
00:31:31,584 --> 00:31:34,370
[music continues]
625
00:31:35,327 --> 00:31:36,894
These people..
626
00:31:38,548 --> 00:31:40,071
...my God!
627
00:31:48,123 --> 00:31:50,995
Tell you what..
628
00:31:51,082 --> 00:31:52,605
...I'll make a deal
with you, Judge.
629
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,262
If it feels right to you
to send them back..
630
00:31:58,785 --> 00:32:00,309
...do it.
631
00:32:01,527 --> 00:32:03,007
But if it doesn't..
632
00:32:04,269 --> 00:32:05,444
...don't.
633
00:32:07,751 --> 00:32:10,275
[instrumental music]
634
00:32:36,127 --> 00:32:37,868
[instrumental music]
635
00:32:39,696 --> 00:32:42,438
This is what I don't get,
it's a peeve, a gripe
636
00:32:42,525 --> 00:32:44,309
I got as a taxpayer,
know what I'm saying?
637
00:32:44,396 --> 00:32:47,138
I mean, if you can crack it,
why can't the police?
638
00:32:47,225 --> 00:32:49,619
This is my taxpayer gripe,
I mean, I know you're all
639
00:32:49,706 --> 00:32:51,229
college educated
and whoop de whoop de, whoo.
640
00:32:51,316 --> 00:32:53,275
I didn't crack it, I just
asked you to follow a car.
641
00:32:53,362 --> 00:32:55,320
Yeah, but you telling me the
police couldn't follow a car?
642
00:32:55,407 --> 00:32:56,843
What's up with that?
643
00:32:56,930 --> 00:32:59,368
[saw whirring]
644
00:33:01,152 --> 00:33:04,851
Uh, afternoon, everybody,
how we all doing today?
645
00:33:04,938 --> 00:33:08,029
Cincinnati's finest
would like to know..
646
00:33:08,116 --> 00:33:12,250
Uh, don't let me stop you
from doing your excellent work.
647
00:33:12,337 --> 00:33:14,600
'That's a nice blowtorch you
got going there, my friend.'
648
00:33:14,687 --> 00:33:18,952
I bet you got that at, like,
Hammock and Schmuckler.
649
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,434
I just need to have a word
with the general manager.
650
00:33:22,521 --> 00:33:24,045
Can you tell me
where this per..
651
00:33:24,958 --> 00:33:27,265
[intense music]
652
00:33:29,050 --> 00:33:32,183
Well, speak of the devil,
how about that?
653
00:33:37,971 --> 00:33:39,321
[sighs]
654
00:33:41,801 --> 00:33:44,021
I checked her employment
and I.R.S. records.
655
00:33:44,108 --> 00:33:45,544
- She paid no taxes and--
- Malcolm.
656
00:33:45,631 --> 00:33:47,851
I wouldn't judge her
too harshly.
657
00:33:47,938 --> 00:33:49,853
'She came from a horrible
neighborhood.'
658
00:33:49,940 --> 00:33:51,420
'You said her father's dead.'
659
00:33:51,507 --> 00:33:53,422
People do what they do
to survive sometimes.
660
00:33:53,509 --> 00:33:55,554
In the process,
they make bad decisions.
661
00:33:55,641 --> 00:33:58,427
- She played me.
- 'She wasn't totally honest.'
662
00:33:58,514 --> 00:34:00,646
That doesn't necessarily
mean she played you.
663
00:34:02,387 --> 00:34:03,693
Okay, she played you.
664
00:34:03,780 --> 00:34:05,782
'Look, you used to be
a drug addict.'
665
00:34:05,869 --> 00:34:08,959
People change, may..
666
00:34:09,046 --> 00:34:11,135
How long is this going to go on?
667
00:34:14,182 --> 00:34:17,794
Jenna, can you come here
and sit for a second?
668
00:34:26,324 --> 00:34:29,893
Look, you have to understand..
669
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:32,113
...and I mean this
constructively.
670
00:34:34,463 --> 00:34:37,988
You annoy me,
it begs the question
671
00:34:38,075 --> 00:34:40,208
why do I keep you around?
672
00:34:40,295 --> 00:34:45,474
And the answer is
because I value you enormously.
673
00:34:45,561 --> 00:34:49,608
I mean, look at this place,
you did this.
674
00:34:49,695 --> 00:34:51,436
I certainly know that.
675
00:34:51,523 --> 00:34:53,656
When people step in and
say "Wow", they're talking
676
00:34:53,743 --> 00:34:55,571
about your accomplishment,
not mine.
677
00:34:56,441 --> 00:34:57,964
And I also realize..
678
00:35:00,053 --> 00:35:02,012
...I'm a dark person.
679
00:35:02,099 --> 00:35:04,493
And left to my own devices..
680
00:35:06,582 --> 00:35:08,671
...as much as I reject
your brightness
681
00:35:08,758 --> 00:35:13,241
your rosy outlook, I know
I perhaps desperately need it.
682
00:35:14,459 --> 00:35:17,854
I'm sorry if I made you feel..
683
00:35:17,941 --> 00:35:20,422
And I-I can't promise
things will be better.
684
00:35:21,249 --> 00:35:23,642
I am who I am.
685
00:35:23,729 --> 00:35:28,647
Which means, you need to know
that I value you.
686
00:35:28,734 --> 00:35:32,216
However, I make you feel,
you need to know it.
687
00:35:32,303 --> 00:35:35,001
[instrumental music]
688
00:35:37,352 --> 00:35:39,615
- Okay.
- Okay.
689
00:35:42,095 --> 00:35:44,359
Harry, I like having
these little talks.
690
00:35:45,316 --> 00:35:46,578
Oh.
691
00:35:46,665 --> 00:35:48,667
I'm due back in Cleveland.
692
00:35:52,367 --> 00:35:55,108
[Judge]
'My mother used to say
"Tidy up your house'
693
00:35:55,196 --> 00:35:57,633
before inviting guests inside."
694
00:35:58,634 --> 00:36:01,593
Our house is a mess.
695
00:36:03,508 --> 00:36:07,860
We have 44 million Americans
living in poverty.
696
00:36:07,947 --> 00:36:11,864
We are in absolute shambles
when it comes to health care
697
00:36:11,951 --> 00:36:15,259
'education, housing,
employment.'
698
00:36:15,346 --> 00:36:17,827
'How can we possibly
tend to the needs'
699
00:36:17,914 --> 00:36:21,831
of those abroad while neglecting
the primary ones
700
00:36:21,918 --> 00:36:25,617
of our citizenry here at home?
701
00:36:25,704 --> 00:36:28,838
'But Ms. Korn's appeal
to our nation's soul'
702
00:36:28,925 --> 00:36:31,928
so firmly rooted
in human rights
703
00:36:32,015 --> 00:36:34,713
is not lost on this court.
704
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,543
To use a tired,
but applicable sports metaphor
705
00:36:38,630 --> 00:36:42,678
this case is a toss-up
and in cases of legal toss-ups
706
00:36:42,765 --> 00:36:45,246
the Supreme Court
has indicated that it would
707
00:36:45,333 --> 00:36:48,510
look to the national consensus.
708
00:36:48,597 --> 00:36:53,471
Translation, America's
conscience du jour.
709
00:36:53,558 --> 00:36:56,344
[dramatic music]
710
00:37:00,609 --> 00:37:02,741
Mr. Ungese..
711
00:37:03,916 --> 00:37:05,483
'...Ms. Sikonge..'
712
00:37:07,224 --> 00:37:08,878
'...Ms. Bundala..'
713
00:37:10,488 --> 00:37:13,056
...Mr. Mukasa..
714
00:37:13,143 --> 00:37:16,277
...the people of the
United States do not want you.
715
00:37:18,757 --> 00:37:21,978
'Our national mood
of tolerance, humanity'
716
00:37:22,065 --> 00:37:26,896
compassion has been
replaced with fear
717
00:37:26,983 --> 00:37:32,031
anxiety, and, yes, selfishness.
718
00:37:32,118 --> 00:37:35,383
'The message sent
to our nation's leaders'
719
00:37:35,470 --> 00:37:37,646
is as clear as it is
overwhelming.
720
00:37:38,864 --> 00:37:40,779
We need to look after our own.
721
00:37:43,913 --> 00:37:46,655
We are a good people, Americans.
722
00:37:48,309 --> 00:37:50,311
It is my sincere belief
that the majority
723
00:37:50,398 --> 00:37:51,790
will pray for you.
724
00:37:55,577 --> 00:37:58,319
I assure you,
I will pray for you.
725
00:37:59,450 --> 00:38:01,626
I just can't help you.
726
00:38:01,713 --> 00:38:04,325
[dramatic music]
727
00:38:10,679 --> 00:38:12,333
Adjourned.
728
00:38:34,311 --> 00:38:36,008
[indistinct chatter]
729
00:38:37,749 --> 00:38:39,577
I take it she appealed.
730
00:38:39,664 --> 00:38:42,754
She didn't say,
but she sounded pretty low.
731
00:38:42,841 --> 00:38:45,496
Let her know if she needs me,
I'll be at home.
732
00:38:45,583 --> 00:38:47,977
- Okay.
- You okay, buddy?
733
00:38:49,152 --> 00:38:50,458
I'm fine.
734
00:39:10,521 --> 00:39:12,001
Can I talk to you?
735
00:39:26,581 --> 00:39:32,151
First, I provide for a lot
of people, including Jamaal.
736
00:39:32,238 --> 00:39:34,110
- If I go to prison--
- You can save that.
737
00:39:34,197 --> 00:39:36,286
- If you think I was using you--
- You were.
738
00:39:36,373 --> 00:39:40,899
Malcolm, if there's one thing
I can't act it's when
739
00:39:40,986 --> 00:39:45,904
I'm interested in somebody.
I really like you--
740
00:39:45,991 --> 00:39:47,993
You and I got nothing
to talk about, Denise.
741
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:49,517
No!
742
00:39:51,693 --> 00:39:53,564
I'll be applying
to law school one day.
743
00:39:53,651 --> 00:39:55,566
My associations matter.
744
00:39:58,221 --> 00:40:00,005
You and I got nothing
to talk about.
745
00:40:02,791 --> 00:40:04,967
Okay.
746
00:40:05,054 --> 00:40:07,404
[instrumental music]
747
00:40:32,385 --> 00:40:34,562
We are not giving up on this,
do you hear me?
748
00:40:34,649 --> 00:40:37,042
We're not giving up.
749
00:40:37,129 --> 00:40:40,089
'There are still
other things we can try.'
750
00:40:40,176 --> 00:40:42,352
There's still a lot we can do.
751
00:40:43,701 --> 00:40:45,224
Lot we can do.
752
00:40:47,226 --> 00:40:49,228
Okay, we need to go.
753
00:40:51,317 --> 00:40:53,102
Thank you, Ms. Korn.
754
00:40:54,059 --> 00:40:55,496
Mr. Jefferson.
755
00:40:56,888 --> 00:40:58,977
For everything.
756
00:40:59,064 --> 00:41:01,458
[dramatic music]
757
00:41:04,069 --> 00:41:06,071
You can thank us
by not giving up.
758
00:41:23,045 --> 00:41:27,484
Okay, Tommy, now is the time
for you to make noise.
759
00:41:27,571 --> 00:41:29,138
Done.
760
00:41:33,882 --> 00:41:36,232
This just makes me wanna quit.
761
00:41:36,319 --> 00:41:38,495
This is the reason
you can never quit.
762
00:41:40,410 --> 00:41:42,891
[instrumental music]
763
00:41:54,598 --> 00:41:56,992
[Harry]
The biggest misperception
about justice
764
00:41:57,079 --> 00:41:58,994
is that it's fair.
765
00:41:59,081 --> 00:42:01,866
It's so often not.
766
00:42:01,953 --> 00:42:04,042
The other widely held
perception
767
00:42:04,129 --> 00:42:06,654
is that it has a conscience.
768
00:42:06,741 --> 00:42:08,351
That one I still cling to.
769
00:42:09,221 --> 00:42:10,701
I have to.
770
00:42:13,008 --> 00:42:15,271
[music continues]
771
00:42:24,106 --> 00:42:26,151

You stinker!
