1
00:00:03,671 --> 00:00:06,641
Ariel, I am very impressed.
This is gorgeous.

2
00:00:06,674 --> 00:00:08,484
Oh.

3
00:00:09,810 --> 00:00:10,610
(giggles)

4
00:00:10,644 --> 00:00:12,054
LUKE: That was totally
meant for Theo.

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:12,810
I'm so sorry, Ms. Howland.

6
00:00:12,846 --> 00:00:14,646
Thank you, Kelsey.

7
00:00:14,682 --> 00:00:15,652
Luke,

8
00:00:15,683 --> 00:00:17,123
lucky for you,

9
00:00:17,151 --> 00:00:18,291
I'm wearing this.

10
00:00:18,319 --> 00:00:19,719
So I'm not in trouble?
Of course you are.

11
00:00:19,753 --> 00:00:21,763
But not nearly as much as
if we were using oil paints.

12
00:00:21,789 --> 00:00:23,719
(school bell rings)

13
00:00:23,757 --> 00:00:26,387
All right, see you soon.

14
00:00:26,427 --> 00:00:28,227
I'm amazed how well
you handled Luke.

15
00:00:28,262 --> 00:00:29,632
Nothing can get
to me today.

16
00:00:29,663 --> 00:00:31,803
My stocks are way up.

17
00:00:31,832 --> 00:00:33,102
It's like I hit the lottery.

18
00:00:33,134 --> 00:00:34,374
My broker told me to hold

19
00:00:34,402 --> 00:00:35,502
another week or so,
but I'm not greedy.

20
00:00:35,536 --> 00:00:38,636
All I need is enough for
the down payment on this condo.

21
00:00:38,672 --> 00:00:40,742
No more 90-minute commutes
to school.

22
00:00:41,709 --> 00:00:42,839
Hang on.

23
00:00:42,876 --> 00:00:45,706
This has to
be a mistake.

24
00:00:45,746 --> 00:00:48,546
It's gone.

25
00:00:48,582 --> 00:00:49,722
My money's gone.

26
00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:53,690
$87.26-- that's all that's left.

27
00:00:53,721 --> 00:00:56,821
This is all of my savings.

28
00:00:58,159 --> 00:00:59,189
GUARD:
Hey!

29
00:00:59,227 --> 00:01:00,857
Where you think
you're going?

30
00:01:00,894 --> 00:01:02,564
I have to talk
to my stockbroker!

31
00:01:04,198 --> 00:01:06,198
(urgent chatter,
phones ringing)

32
00:01:13,541 --> 00:01:16,141
BROKER: I'm calling about your
account at Brannigan Trust.

33
00:01:16,177 --> 00:01:17,347
Great news, you qualify

34
00:01:17,378 --> 00:01:18,808
for our free investment
advisory services.

35
00:01:18,846 --> 00:01:20,176
(chuckles):
Yeah, great.

36
00:01:20,214 --> 00:01:21,854
I've reviewed
your account

37
00:01:21,882 --> 00:01:23,882
and have a couple of strong
performers to recommend.

38
00:01:23,917 --> 00:01:26,447
Sure, no pressure.
Talk to your husband

39
00:01:26,487 --> 00:01:28,357
when he gets
home from work.

40
00:01:28,389 --> 00:01:30,319
The stock won't be
at this price tomorrow.

41
00:01:30,358 --> 00:01:31,558
No, no, look,
if you're asking me,

42
00:01:31,592 --> 00:01:34,332
you don't want to sell yet.
But that is between us, okay?

43
00:01:34,362 --> 00:01:35,702
And, nope, don't ask me

44
00:01:35,729 --> 00:01:37,799
how I know, just make sure
to send me a postcard

45
00:01:37,831 --> 00:01:39,471
after you've cashed in
and you're docking

46
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:40,730
your yacht in the Bahamas.

47
00:01:40,768 --> 00:01:41,768
Excuse me.

48
00:01:41,802 --> 00:01:43,572
Hello?
(chatter quiets)

49
00:01:43,604 --> 00:01:45,214
Uh, which one of you
is Alex DuBois?

50
00:01:45,239 --> 00:01:46,269
Oh.

51
00:01:47,808 --> 00:01:49,638
No way.

52
00:01:50,744 --> 00:01:52,584
This is unbelievable.

53
00:01:52,613 --> 00:01:54,283
This is a stock scam.

54
00:01:58,519 --> 00:01:59,789
A woman is here.

55
00:01:59,820 --> 00:02:01,920
She's looking
for some advice.

56
00:02:01,955 --> 00:02:03,315
Sounds like she got scammed
in one of those

57
00:02:03,357 --> 00:02:04,557
bogus investment deals.

58
00:02:04,592 --> 00:02:05,632
How much did she lose?

59
00:02:05,659 --> 00:02:06,859
$19,000.

60
00:02:06,894 --> 00:02:08,904
That's not really
what we do here, Chunk.

61
00:02:08,929 --> 00:02:10,729
I know, but it looks like
it pretty much

62
00:02:10,764 --> 00:02:12,874
wiped out her savings.
Can we help her out?

63
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:15,740
Well, you could have Benny
take a look at it.

64
00:02:15,769 --> 00:02:17,209
Maybe there's
a small claims case.

65
00:02:17,238 --> 00:02:18,638
Okay.
Where is Benny?

66
00:02:18,672 --> 00:02:19,672
Late again.

67
00:02:19,707 --> 00:02:21,337
Oh, he's running
some errands.

68
00:02:21,375 --> 00:02:22,335
(chuckles nervously)

69
00:02:22,376 --> 00:02:23,636
Hmm.

70
00:02:23,677 --> 00:02:26,477
Look, um, her name
is Erin Howland.

71
00:02:26,514 --> 00:02:28,224
She went to
the U.S. Attorney's Office,

72
00:02:28,249 --> 00:02:30,319
and they turned her down.

73
00:02:30,351 --> 00:02:31,921
We can one-up the feds, right?

74
00:02:31,952 --> 00:02:34,862
Who is she?

75
00:02:34,888 --> 00:02:36,358
Friend of a friend.

76
00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:38,660
If it's that fashion editor

77
00:02:38,692 --> 00:02:40,892
you introduced me to last
month, the answer is no.

78
00:02:40,928 --> 00:02:42,328
(chuckles)
No.

79
00:02:42,363 --> 00:02:43,963
She's not.

80
00:02:43,997 --> 00:02:45,467
Supermodel?

81
00:02:45,499 --> 00:02:49,169
She's my nephew's
fifth grade teacher.

82
00:02:52,273 --> 00:02:53,573
I can't believe
this happened to me.

83
00:02:53,607 --> 00:02:54,837
It's humiliating.
It's okay.

84
00:02:54,875 --> 00:02:56,905
You can trust Bull.

85
00:02:56,944 --> 00:02:59,314
Just tell him
what you told me.

86
00:02:59,347 --> 00:03:01,847
About six months ago,
an investment advisor called me.

87
00:03:01,882 --> 00:03:03,382
He told me about
some stocks.

88
00:03:03,417 --> 00:03:05,247
A sure thing.
I know what
you're thinking,

89
00:03:05,286 --> 00:03:06,816
but I'm not one of those
people. Ask anyone.

90
00:03:06,854 --> 00:03:08,824
Nothing like this has ever
happened to me before.

91
00:03:08,856 --> 00:03:11,326
Well, telemarketers
can be persuasive.

92
00:03:11,359 --> 00:03:13,789
They once got me
for a 400-buck pen.

93
00:03:13,827 --> 00:03:16,397
It's a valuable lesson
for a ten-year-old, though.

94
00:03:16,430 --> 00:03:17,930
I wasn't looking for a
get-rich-quick scheme.

95
00:03:17,965 --> 00:03:19,925
I thought I was
investing responsibly.

96
00:03:19,967 --> 00:03:22,237
As soon as I bought the
stock, the price shot up.

97
00:03:22,270 --> 00:03:24,000
I was making
a huge profit.
Mm.

98
00:03:24,037 --> 00:03:25,767
On paper.
I wanted to sell,

99
00:03:25,806 --> 00:03:29,336
but he told me to hold
on for a few more weeks.

100
00:03:29,377 --> 00:03:32,877
Well, the price crashed, along
with almost my entire savings.

101
00:03:32,913 --> 00:03:33,983
$19,000.

102
00:03:35,283 --> 00:03:37,493
You want us to
track this guy down?

103
00:03:37,518 --> 00:03:39,988
I did that already, which is how
I found out it's a scam.

104
00:03:40,020 --> 00:03:41,960
Hmm. Well, you're
clearly proactive.

105
00:03:41,989 --> 00:03:43,789
Not a pushover.

106
00:03:43,824 --> 00:03:45,834
So, I'm curious,
why would you trust

107
00:03:45,859 --> 00:03:48,459
a stranger with
your entire life savings?

108
00:03:48,496 --> 00:03:50,496
He wasn't a stranger.

109
00:03:50,531 --> 00:03:53,271
He worked at my bank,
Brannigan Trust.

110
00:03:53,301 --> 00:03:55,001
The Brannigan Trust?

111
00:03:55,035 --> 00:03:56,335
Yeah.

112
00:04:02,743 --> 00:04:03,943
BULL:
Well, they cleared out fast.

113
00:04:03,977 --> 00:04:06,607
Looks more like a boiler room
than a bank.

114
00:04:06,647 --> 00:04:08,977
CHUNK: Brannigan Trust has been
around since J.P. Morgan.

115
00:04:09,016 --> 00:04:10,846
Why would they get involved
in a boiler room?

116
00:04:10,884 --> 00:04:12,024
I'm telling you,
it was them.

117
00:04:12,052 --> 00:04:14,522
That's where
the sign was; it said:

118
00:04:14,555 --> 00:04:16,385
Alternative Investment Division.
CHUNK: And this is where

119
00:04:16,424 --> 00:04:18,694
you were last week?
As soon as I left,
I called the FBI,

120
00:04:18,726 --> 00:04:20,586
the SEC,
the U.S. Attorney,

121
00:04:20,628 --> 00:04:21,998
the Better Business Bureau,
the Attorney General,

122
00:04:22,029 --> 00:04:22,959
and Brannigan Trust.

123
00:04:22,996 --> 00:04:24,896
Well, that explains
why they left so fast.

124
00:04:24,932 --> 00:04:26,902
And they all gave me
the runaround. Do you think

125
00:04:26,934 --> 00:04:27,844
there's any chance
I get my money back?

126
00:04:27,868 --> 00:04:30,598
First, we have to find out
who stole it.

127
00:04:30,638 --> 00:04:32,838
Where did you
get that?
(sighs)

128
00:04:32,873 --> 00:04:34,513
Belongs to the notary next door.

129
00:04:34,542 --> 00:04:35,842
We should hurry before

130
00:04:35,876 --> 00:04:37,006
she notices it's gone.

131
00:04:37,044 --> 00:04:39,284
(phone vibrating)
Check your caller I.D.

132
00:04:41,949 --> 00:04:43,619
Brannigan Trust.

133
00:04:43,651 --> 00:04:44,921
See, I told you.

134
00:04:44,952 --> 00:04:46,752
I know somebody who works there.

135
00:04:46,787 --> 00:04:48,387
I'm gonna pay him
a little visit.

136
00:04:48,422 --> 00:04:49,562
(door opens)

137
00:04:49,590 --> 00:04:50,460
Oh, are you the notary

138
00:04:50,491 --> 00:04:51,461
from next door?

139
00:04:51,492 --> 00:04:52,662
I was trying
to call you.

140
00:04:52,693 --> 00:04:54,333
I-I think I found your phone.

141
00:04:58,999 --> 00:05:00,999
*

142
00:05:05,806 --> 00:05:07,066
You hungry?

143
00:05:07,107 --> 00:05:09,637
No, I try to stay away
from that stuff.

144
00:05:09,677 --> 00:05:12,107
You know, a pastrami sandwich
can usually make things better.

145
00:05:12,145 --> 00:05:13,345
But not today.

146
00:05:13,381 --> 00:05:15,951
Does this have anything to do
with that old case of yours?

147
00:05:15,983 --> 00:05:19,023
Hayden Watkins, yes.

148
00:05:19,052 --> 00:05:22,022
Last night, the appeals court
overturned the verdict.

149
00:05:22,055 --> 00:05:23,985
Apparently,
there's new DNA evidence.

150
00:05:24,024 --> 00:05:25,594
The DNA evidence cleared him?

151
00:05:25,626 --> 00:05:28,026
He did nine years for a crime
he didn't commit.

152
00:05:28,061 --> 00:05:30,131
And?

153
00:05:30,163 --> 00:05:34,603
I'm under investigation
by the U.S. Attorney.

154
00:05:34,635 --> 00:05:36,735
Prosecutorial misconduct.

155
00:05:36,770 --> 00:05:38,010
What did you do?

156
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,140
Nothing.

157
00:05:41,174 --> 00:05:44,144
Any time a murder conviction
is reversed, it's reviewed.

158
00:05:44,177 --> 00:05:46,407
First person
under a microscope

159
00:05:46,447 --> 00:05:47,877
is the prosecutor.

160
00:05:47,915 --> 00:05:49,345
When are you gonna tell Bull?

161
00:05:53,086 --> 00:05:54,046
(sighs)

162
00:06:00,060 --> 00:06:01,530
BULL: Thanks for
seeing me, Griffin.

163
00:06:01,562 --> 00:06:03,432
I've been meaning to call.
Are you gonna serve

164
00:06:03,464 --> 00:06:05,434
on the flight museum board
with me again?

165
00:06:05,466 --> 00:06:08,096
Well, if you insist.

166
00:06:08,135 --> 00:06:10,035
So, what was so urgent?

167
00:06:10,070 --> 00:06:12,570
Well, I have this client
who lost 19 grand

168
00:06:12,606 --> 00:06:14,636
in one of your
brokerage divisions.

169
00:06:14,675 --> 00:06:16,135
Whose daughter is it?

170
00:06:16,176 --> 00:06:18,146
What trust fund
did she just get access to?

171
00:06:18,178 --> 00:06:21,418
No trust-afarian.
She's a schoolteacher.

172
00:06:21,449 --> 00:06:23,149
And it seems
she was duped

173
00:06:23,183 --> 00:06:26,053
by an overly aggressive broker
named Alex DuBois.

174
00:06:26,086 --> 00:06:27,786
Well, I've got somewhere
in the neighborhood

175
00:06:27,821 --> 00:06:30,061
of 275,000 employees.

176
00:06:30,090 --> 00:06:32,530
I know you do, but it turns
out that every broker

177
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:33,890
in this Alternative
Investment Division

178
00:06:33,927 --> 00:06:35,597
were operating under that name.

179
00:06:35,629 --> 00:06:37,159
Well, I'll have someone
look into it.

180
00:06:37,197 --> 00:06:38,997
She said she got a call
from this bank,

181
00:06:39,032 --> 00:06:41,642
offering her
the deal of a lifetime.

182
00:06:41,669 --> 00:06:43,469
I've been banking here
for 25 years.

183
00:06:43,504 --> 00:06:45,444
I'm just wondering
why no one ever called

184
00:06:45,473 --> 00:06:47,013
and made me that offer.

185
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,810
(sighs)

186
00:06:50,711 --> 00:06:53,581
My client wants
her money back.

187
00:06:53,614 --> 00:06:54,784
It's 19 grand, Griffin.

188
00:06:54,815 --> 00:06:56,615
Jason,

189
00:06:56,650 --> 00:06:59,450
they're called "alternative"
investments for a reason.

190
00:06:59,487 --> 00:07:01,617
We can't return money
to everyone who complains

191
00:07:01,655 --> 00:07:03,655
about losing
in the market.

192
00:07:03,691 --> 00:07:05,731
There are others?

193
00:07:08,662 --> 00:07:10,802
Griffin.

194
00:07:13,767 --> 00:07:17,037
Cable, do a phone dump
on the outgoing calls

195
00:07:17,070 --> 00:07:18,910
from those empty bank offices.

196
00:07:18,939 --> 00:07:20,969
Would you?
What are we looking for?

197
00:07:21,008 --> 00:07:22,838
More victims.

198
00:07:24,211 --> 00:07:26,151
I never invested
in the market before.

199
00:07:26,179 --> 00:07:28,079
Figured I'd give it a try.

200
00:07:28,115 --> 00:07:31,745
They conned me out of 12 grand
and lined their pockets.

201
00:07:31,785 --> 00:07:33,815
My own bank took me for a ride.

202
00:07:33,854 --> 00:07:36,194
I worked for the transit
authority for 40 years,

203
00:07:36,223 --> 00:07:39,163
kept all my savings
in Brannigan Trust.

204
00:07:39,192 --> 00:07:42,532
72,000 bucks--
just like that, it's gone.

205
00:07:42,563 --> 00:07:45,103
Totally. They told me I was
investing in high-tech drones.

206
00:07:45,132 --> 00:07:46,372
It sounded really cool.

207
00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:50,239
Turns out, the company only has
one customer and really bad R&D.

208
00:07:50,270 --> 00:07:51,100
Yeah, well, you know,

209
00:07:51,138 --> 00:07:54,038
they hustled me out of
37,000 bucks.

210
00:07:54,074 --> 00:07:55,784
I was planning on
buying a Sea Ray,

211
00:07:55,809 --> 00:07:57,749
doing some fishing,
you know, on the weekends.

212
00:07:57,778 --> 00:07:58,748
I could kill...

213
00:07:58,779 --> 00:08:01,649
(urgent chatter)

214
00:08:01,682 --> 00:08:02,922
Starts with "A" through "C."

215
00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:03,980
There you go.

216
00:08:05,118 --> 00:08:06,088
Okay.

217
00:08:06,119 --> 00:08:07,249
BENNY:
Chunk.

218
00:08:07,287 --> 00:08:08,257
CHUNK:
Hey.

219
00:08:08,288 --> 00:08:09,118
I'm Benny Colón,

220
00:08:09,156 --> 00:08:10,156
TAC's in-house
counsel.

221
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:11,690
Erin Howland.

222
00:08:11,725 --> 00:08:14,255
Oh, so you're the one
responsible for all this.

223
00:08:14,294 --> 00:08:16,564
And Chunk.
I-I had no idea

224
00:08:16,597 --> 00:08:18,767
there would be this many people
scammed by the bank.

225
00:08:18,799 --> 00:08:20,199
Got more than we expected.

226
00:08:20,233 --> 00:08:21,643
Are you gonna be
handling the trial?

227
00:08:21,669 --> 00:08:23,039
I will, so if you have

228
00:08:23,070 --> 00:08:25,140
any questions at all,
don't hesitate to ask.

229
00:08:30,678 --> 00:08:32,048
(laughs)

230
00:08:32,079 --> 00:08:33,209
Nice turnout.

231
00:08:33,246 --> 00:08:36,046
I have my doubts.

232
00:08:36,083 --> 00:08:38,153
Class actions don't fall
into your lap every day.

233
00:08:38,185 --> 00:08:39,785
It's a contingency case

234
00:08:39,820 --> 00:08:41,690
with 4,000 victims from
across the country.

235
00:08:41,722 --> 00:08:43,092
The costs will
be astronomical.

236
00:08:43,123 --> 00:08:44,023
High risk, high reward.

237
00:08:44,057 --> 00:08:45,957
We will have to front
all the expenses:

238
00:08:45,993 --> 00:08:49,263
travel, research, depositions,
financial analysis,

239
00:08:49,296 --> 00:08:50,926
trial prep, expert
witness fees,

240
00:08:50,964 --> 00:08:52,874
not to mention the
thousands of man-hours

241
00:08:52,900 --> 00:08:54,640
that TAC would
invest in the case.

242
00:08:54,668 --> 00:08:56,168
Look, Brannigan Trust
is gonna fight.

243
00:08:56,203 --> 00:08:58,173
Hard. We could
lose millions.

244
00:08:58,205 --> 00:08:59,335
We could win millions.

245
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,872
Exactly, all
or nothing.

246
00:09:00,908 --> 00:09:03,338
You'd be betting the future
of the firm on one case.

247
00:09:03,376 --> 00:09:06,576
You're right.
It's a big gamble.

248
00:09:08,115 --> 00:09:10,075
Ladies and gentlemen, can I
have your attention, please?

249
00:09:10,117 --> 00:09:12,717
My name is Dr. Jason Bull.

250
00:09:12,753 --> 00:09:15,093
Welcome to the class action.

251
00:09:16,123 --> 00:09:18,133
*

252
00:09:25,198 --> 00:09:28,338
(elevator bell dings)
We have to prove

253
00:09:28,368 --> 00:09:30,238
that it was reasonable
for our victims

254
00:09:30,270 --> 00:09:32,070
to have relied on
the brokers' advice.

255
00:09:32,105 --> 00:09:34,135
(sighs)
That advice was
fraudulent

256
00:09:34,174 --> 00:09:35,914
because the brokers
had information

257
00:09:35,943 --> 00:09:37,113
that they did
not share.

258
00:09:37,144 --> 00:09:39,654
With the operative word
being "reasonable."

259
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:41,210
Civil trial,
federal court--

260
00:09:41,248 --> 00:09:42,348
there's no wiggle room.

261
00:09:42,382 --> 00:09:44,052
I know. Jury has
to be unanimous.

262
00:09:44,084 --> 00:09:46,694
Hey, you know that Bull wants
to target Griffin Fuller,

263
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,020
CEO of Brannigan Trust?

264
00:09:49,056 --> 00:09:51,116
He lawyered up as soon
as Bull left his office.

265
00:09:51,158 --> 00:09:52,888
'Cause he's got a lot
on the line.

266
00:09:52,926 --> 00:09:54,756
Third largest bank
in the world.

267
00:09:54,795 --> 00:09:59,065
5,700 branches,
$2.3 trillion in assets,

268
00:09:59,099 --> 00:10:00,929
over 72 million clients.

269
00:10:00,968 --> 00:10:04,068
Well, 4,211 of those clients
are victims.

270
00:10:04,104 --> 00:10:05,344
Yeah, out $100 million.

271
00:10:05,372 --> 00:10:06,972
Well, with the standard
contingency fee,

272
00:10:07,007 --> 00:10:08,977
if we win, we win a
third of the judgment.

273
00:10:09,009 --> 00:10:10,339
A third?

274
00:10:10,377 --> 00:10:11,877
Minus our expenses.

275
00:10:11,912 --> 00:10:13,752
Could also win millions
in punitive damages.

276
00:10:13,781 --> 00:10:15,751
This is exactly what
got our victims into trouble.

277
00:10:15,783 --> 00:10:17,223
The fantasy
of a massive windfall.

278
00:10:17,250 --> 00:10:18,920
Well...
CHUNK:
Fantasy sold to them

279
00:10:18,952 --> 00:10:19,992
by a bank they trusted.

280
00:10:20,020 --> 00:10:21,990
Okay, we are already
way over budget.

281
00:10:22,022 --> 00:10:23,862
We can't keep digging
into reserves.

282
00:10:23,891 --> 00:10:25,131
Fantasy of easy money.

283
00:10:25,158 --> 00:10:26,188
These are the stockbrokers

284
00:10:26,226 --> 00:10:28,096
from Brannigan's Alternative
Investment Division.

285
00:10:28,128 --> 00:10:30,898
Were. They all got pink-slipped
when the division was shut down.

286
00:10:30,931 --> 00:10:32,001
Where are they now?
MARISSA: Telemarketing,

287
00:10:32,032 --> 00:10:33,102
sales, brokerage firms.

288
00:10:33,133 --> 00:10:35,773
Wait, Sofia Dern

289
00:10:35,803 --> 00:10:37,773
pulled in nearly

290
00:10:37,805 --> 00:10:39,065
$750,000?

291
00:10:39,106 --> 00:10:40,236
Pump-and-dump was
very good to her.

292
00:10:40,273 --> 00:10:41,213
CABLE:
Yeah, I know a little

293
00:10:41,241 --> 00:10:43,311
about the stock market,
but my knowledge of

294
00:10:43,343 --> 00:10:45,953
a pump-and-dump doesn't go
beyond that movie Boiler Room.

295
00:10:45,979 --> 00:10:48,919
So how are we gonna explain that
to a jury without the aid of

296
00:10:48,949 --> 00:10:50,279
a young Ben Affleck
or Vin Diesel?

297
00:10:51,318 --> 00:10:53,148
Pump-and-dump fraud
is as old

298
00:10:53,186 --> 00:10:55,416
as stock brokering itself.

299
00:10:55,455 --> 00:10:57,685
There are three steps.

300
00:10:57,725 --> 00:11:00,155
Step one: the buy.

301
00:11:00,193 --> 00:11:02,263
Stockbrokers in Brannigan Trust

302
00:11:02,295 --> 00:11:05,895
purchased millions of dollars
worth of stocks for themselves.

303
00:11:05,933 --> 00:11:09,173
Then they got their clients
to purchase the same stocks,

304
00:11:09,202 --> 00:11:10,872
on a massive scale.

305
00:11:10,904 --> 00:11:13,014
You don't want to buy
a stock. No.

306
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,280
You want to buy a life, Jake.

307
00:11:15,308 --> 00:11:17,278
The life you deserve.

308
00:11:17,310 --> 00:11:19,310
Jake, this is your chance.

309
00:11:19,346 --> 00:11:22,116
Buy that life.

310
00:11:22,149 --> 00:11:24,049
Yes!

311
00:11:24,084 --> 00:11:26,254
Step two: the pump.

312
00:11:26,286 --> 00:11:29,186
More and more people
invested in this stock.

313
00:11:29,222 --> 00:11:31,122
Let's call it
Hagen Tool & Die.

314
00:11:31,158 --> 00:11:33,928
That made the price skyrocket.

315
00:11:33,961 --> 00:11:34,761
(cash register rings)

316
00:11:34,795 --> 00:11:36,425
A $2 stock was
suddenly worth $10.

317
00:11:36,463 --> 00:11:39,173
The clients were thrilled.
So were the brokers.

318
00:11:39,199 --> 00:11:41,299
(excited chatter, cheering)

319
00:11:41,334 --> 00:11:43,374
ALL (chanting):
Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug...

320
00:11:43,403 --> 00:11:45,743
(chanting continues)

321
00:11:49,176 --> 00:11:50,976
(whooping, cheering)

322
00:11:51,011 --> 00:11:53,781
All right, let's hear it
for Hagen Tool & Die

323
00:11:53,814 --> 00:11:57,184
closing in at 15 2/10!

324
00:11:57,217 --> 00:11:58,487
(cheering)

325
00:12:00,187 --> 00:12:03,187
Step three: the dump.

326
00:12:03,223 --> 00:12:04,793
When the stock is worth
many times

327
00:12:04,825 --> 00:12:06,755
what the brokers paid
for their shares...

328
00:12:06,794 --> 00:12:08,104
Sell! Sell!

329
00:12:08,128 --> 00:12:10,858
Yes, all of my shares.
Are you deaf?

330
00:12:10,898 --> 00:12:13,328
The sudden flood of supply
made the stock value tank.

331
00:12:13,366 --> 00:12:17,536
But the brokers had already
cashed out tens of millions.

332
00:12:17,570 --> 00:12:19,840
Yes! Oh, yes!

333
00:12:19,873 --> 00:12:21,113
(exhales)

334
00:12:21,141 --> 00:12:24,011
Meanwhile, the clients--
they lost everything.

335
00:12:25,345 --> 00:12:27,175
The mock jury loved
the presentation,

336
00:12:27,214 --> 00:12:28,854
but they still found
for the bank.

337
00:12:28,882 --> 00:12:31,182
The majority still think
our clients were greedy

338
00:12:31,218 --> 00:12:33,088
or stupid or both.

339
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,160
Well, they haven't heard
from Erin.

340
00:12:35,188 --> 00:12:36,988
She'll present well.

341
00:12:37,024 --> 00:12:39,264
Schoolteacher, smart,
not out for money.

342
00:12:39,292 --> 00:12:42,132
No, it's not enough.

343
00:12:42,162 --> 00:12:43,902
We have to change
the narrative entirely

344
00:12:43,931 --> 00:12:46,931
because this case is
all about trust.

345
00:12:46,967 --> 00:12:49,997
These investors
trusted their bank.

346
00:12:50,037 --> 00:12:53,407
They'd never give their money
to some fly-by-night operation.

347
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,410
We could target jurors who are
loyal to particular brands,

348
00:12:56,443 --> 00:12:57,583
people who understand

349
00:12:57,610 --> 00:12:59,410
why victims trusted
the Brannigan name.

350
00:12:59,446 --> 00:13:02,276
No, brand-loyal jurors
will find for Brannigan.

351
00:13:02,315 --> 00:13:05,545
They want to believe in
their established institutions.

352
00:13:05,585 --> 00:13:07,015
We want the opposite.

353
00:13:07,054 --> 00:13:08,924
Disloyal jurors?

354
00:13:08,956 --> 00:13:10,586
People who aren't attached
to specific brands.

355
00:13:10,623 --> 00:13:14,093
People who know you can't
just blindly rely on a name.

356
00:13:14,127 --> 00:13:16,297
So people how keep their
money under the mattress.

357
00:13:16,329 --> 00:13:19,129
Yeah. They shop in
independent bookstores,

358
00:13:19,166 --> 00:13:22,966
and they eat at
mom-and-pop diners.

359
00:13:23,003 --> 00:13:24,243
(sighs)

360
00:13:24,271 --> 00:13:27,141
We want jurors
who will accept

361
00:13:27,174 --> 00:13:30,314
that just because it's called
Brannigan Trust

362
00:13:30,343 --> 00:13:32,513
doesn't mean
it can be trusted.

363
00:13:32,545 --> 00:13:34,545
Ah.

364
00:13:37,617 --> 00:13:40,047
So what's this?

365
00:13:40,087 --> 00:13:41,887
Your hand.

366
00:13:41,922 --> 00:13:43,992
It's a sign of uncertainty.
That's unlike you.

367
00:13:44,024 --> 00:13:47,134
It's also an indicator
of an itchy neck.

368
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,160
Hmm.

369
00:13:50,097 --> 00:13:51,927
I hope it doesn't
get any worse.

370
00:13:51,965 --> 00:13:53,425
I'm sure
it's just a bite.

371
00:13:53,466 --> 00:13:56,096
I mean this trend
of tardiness lately.

372
00:13:56,136 --> 00:14:00,036
Sorry, I didn't even realize
we had an early meeting.

373
00:14:06,179 --> 00:14:07,609
That's good news.

374
00:14:07,647 --> 00:14:11,317
Judge Vortuba is
hearing the case.

375
00:14:11,351 --> 00:14:13,921
That's not good news.

376
00:14:13,954 --> 00:14:16,964
Uh, I thought you
guys were buddies.

377
00:14:16,990 --> 00:14:18,190
We were.

378
00:14:18,225 --> 00:14:19,225
BAILIFF:
All rise.

379
00:14:19,259 --> 00:14:22,359
The Honorable Judge
Robert Vortuba presiding.

380
00:14:22,395 --> 00:14:25,395
Good morning, everyone.

381
00:14:25,432 --> 00:14:27,202
Dr. Bull.

382
00:14:27,234 --> 00:14:28,144
Judge.

383
00:14:28,168 --> 00:14:30,268
JUDGE VORTUBA:
Uh, before we get started,

384
00:14:30,303 --> 00:14:32,073
I want to disclose
that I keep some of my money

385
00:14:32,105 --> 00:14:33,605
in Brannigan Trust--
I don't think it's a conflict.

386
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,410
But in the interest
of fairness,

387
00:14:35,442 --> 00:14:36,642
I'll entertain argument.

388
00:14:36,676 --> 00:14:38,346
(quietly): We need
a new judge.
Leave it.

389
00:14:38,378 --> 00:14:40,608
He gave you the stink eye;
that is not a good sign.

390
00:14:40,647 --> 00:14:42,347
If you ask him
to recuse himself,

391
00:14:42,382 --> 00:14:44,622
he'll turn you down, and then
he'll hold it against you

392
00:14:44,651 --> 00:14:46,621
for the rest of the trial.
What did you do to him?

393
00:14:46,653 --> 00:14:47,553
Long story.

394
00:14:47,587 --> 00:14:49,217
JUDGE VORTUBA:
Any objections, Counselor?

395
00:14:49,256 --> 00:14:50,356
Uh, none whatsoever.

396
00:14:50,390 --> 00:14:52,260
We're confident of
Your Honor's ability

397
00:14:52,292 --> 00:14:54,392
to be fair and impartial.

398
00:14:54,427 --> 00:14:57,397
We respectfully request
that you recuse yourself.

399
00:14:57,430 --> 00:14:59,070
JUDGE VORTUBA:
Your request is

400
00:14:59,099 --> 00:15:00,369
duly noted and denied.

401
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,440
(clears throat)
Your Honor, for the record,

402
00:15:02,469 --> 00:15:05,639
I have to state that this
lawsuit is nothing more

403
00:15:05,672 --> 00:15:07,412
than a thinly veiled shakedown.

404
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,280
I think that's for
the jury to decide.

405
00:15:09,309 --> 00:15:11,709
Dr. Bull, I wasn't aware
you had a law degree.

406
00:15:11,744 --> 00:15:14,254
No, still just the PhDs.

407
00:15:14,281 --> 00:15:16,221
JUDGE VORTUBA:
Oh, good.

408
00:15:16,249 --> 00:15:17,679
Well, we're about
to start voir dire,

409
00:15:17,717 --> 00:15:20,347
and I'm not going to allow
anybody to manipulate my jury.

410
00:15:20,387 --> 00:15:21,547
Isn't that the purpose
of a trial?

411
00:15:21,588 --> 00:15:24,418
Lawyers try
to influence the jury

412
00:15:24,457 --> 00:15:25,627
with facts and arguments?

413
00:15:25,658 --> 00:15:27,258
You'll be allowed
back in the courtroom

414
00:15:27,294 --> 00:15:28,364
after we finish voir dire.

415
00:15:28,395 --> 00:15:30,625
Uh, (clears throat)
respectfully,

416
00:15:30,663 --> 00:15:33,003
I'd ask the
court's indulgence.

417
00:15:33,033 --> 00:15:35,273
Dr. Bull is an integral
part of the team.

418
00:15:35,302 --> 00:15:36,302
I made my ruling.

419
00:15:38,205 --> 00:15:39,605
Hmm.

420
00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:40,609
Have fun.

421
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,480
Your Honor.

422
00:15:45,045 --> 00:15:46,375
Counsel.

423
00:15:48,415 --> 00:15:50,345
Benny did a good job
in voir dire,

424
00:15:50,383 --> 00:15:52,223
but we have some problems.

425
00:15:52,252 --> 00:15:53,552
BENNY: Bull could have
been there to help,

426
00:15:53,586 --> 00:15:55,316
if he hadn't ran over
the judge's dog.

427
00:15:55,355 --> 00:15:57,215
It was a cat, actually.
Oh.

428
00:15:57,257 --> 00:15:59,087
Very old. I'm kidding.

429
00:15:59,126 --> 00:16:00,286
I told you

430
00:16:00,327 --> 00:16:02,327
not to ask him
to recuse himself.

431
00:16:02,362 --> 00:16:03,702
BENNY:
I made a judgment call.

432
00:16:03,730 --> 00:16:04,500
That's what worries me.

433
00:16:04,531 --> 00:16:07,501
Juror number one,
Sienna White,

434
00:16:07,534 --> 00:16:09,274
she has a PhD in linguistics.

435
00:16:09,302 --> 00:16:10,572
Works as a translator
for the U.N.

436
00:16:10,603 --> 00:16:12,643
Hard worker, rule follower.

437
00:16:12,672 --> 00:16:14,412
Bad for us.

438
00:16:14,441 --> 00:16:15,581
She'll think our
clients were looking

439
00:16:15,608 --> 00:16:17,038
to make a fast buck.

440
00:16:17,077 --> 00:16:18,347
Juror number three
is Larry Dane.

441
00:16:18,378 --> 00:16:19,448
BENNY:
He's a problem.

442
00:16:19,479 --> 00:16:21,209
He'll think our clients
are reckless.

443
00:16:21,248 --> 00:16:23,218
But I ran out of strikes.

444
00:16:23,250 --> 00:16:25,390
Well, don't fret, Benny.

445
00:16:25,418 --> 00:16:26,648
We have a secret weapon.

446
00:16:26,686 --> 00:16:29,416
4,211 clients,
and we get to select

447
00:16:29,456 --> 00:16:31,456
which ones the jury will see.

448
00:16:31,491 --> 00:16:33,291
Shopping for witnesses.
Fun.
Mm-hmm.

449
00:16:33,326 --> 00:16:36,396
We get to pick the ones who
appeal to each of our jurors.

450
00:16:36,429 --> 00:16:38,299
We just need
a star witness to lead off,

451
00:16:38,331 --> 00:16:40,501
someone with
instant appeal

452
00:16:40,533 --> 00:16:41,573
to Sienna and Larry,

453
00:16:41,601 --> 00:16:44,371
someone to cement
our narrative in their minds.

454
00:16:44,404 --> 00:16:46,244
I will run all of our clients
through the algorithm

455
00:16:46,273 --> 00:16:47,613
and narrow it down to 50.

456
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,240
Great. Let's make
a competition out of this,

457
00:16:50,277 --> 00:16:52,177
boiler-room style.

458
00:16:52,212 --> 00:16:54,212
Everyone picks their favorite
candidate and argues their case,

459
00:16:54,247 --> 00:16:56,277
and the mock jury
will decide the winner.

460
00:16:56,316 --> 00:16:57,276
Hmm.

461
00:16:57,317 --> 00:16:58,717
And what's the prize?

462
00:16:58,751 --> 00:17:00,351
$5,000 bonus.

463
00:17:00,387 --> 00:17:01,687
Why don't we just go with Erin?

464
00:17:01,721 --> 00:17:03,421
She brought us the case.

465
00:17:03,456 --> 00:17:04,756
BULL: Her demeanor is
too amenable, Benny.

466
00:17:04,791 --> 00:17:06,431
The prosecution will

467
00:17:06,459 --> 00:17:09,099
make her out to be a novice
investor, easily pressured.

468
00:17:09,129 --> 00:17:11,529
They'll say she was coaxed
into buying the stocks,

469
00:17:11,564 --> 00:17:13,334
but there was no fraud.

470
00:17:13,366 --> 00:17:14,326
I'll-I'll prep her.

471
00:17:14,367 --> 00:17:16,737
It'll be good for her
to get hour story out.

472
00:17:16,769 --> 00:17:18,809
She can give a victim impact
statement after we win.

473
00:17:18,838 --> 00:17:20,338
BENNY:
Just give me a chance

474
00:17:20,373 --> 00:17:21,773
to see if the mock jury
resonates with her.

475
00:17:21,808 --> 00:17:23,078
Wow.

476
00:17:23,110 --> 00:17:25,510
You do have a type.
Come on.

477
00:17:25,545 --> 00:17:28,145
BULL: Okay, fine,
in the spirit of competition,

478
00:17:28,181 --> 00:17:30,481
she is now officially
your pick for the finals.

479
00:17:30,517 --> 00:17:31,647
Prove me wrong.

480
00:17:37,324 --> 00:17:40,394
These people should have met
with their financial advisor

481
00:17:40,427 --> 00:17:42,557
before giving away
their life savings.

482
00:17:42,595 --> 00:17:44,425
Well, I've never met
my financial advisor.

483
00:17:44,464 --> 00:17:46,304
What-- You have
a financial advisor?

484
00:17:46,333 --> 00:17:48,343
Yeah, he handles
my portfolio.

485
00:17:48,368 --> 00:17:49,538
She has a portfolio.

486
00:17:49,569 --> 00:17:50,869
DANNY: How much
money do you have?

487
00:17:50,903 --> 00:17:52,443
None of your business.
Ooh.

488
00:17:52,472 --> 00:17:53,642
What are you invested in?

489
00:17:53,673 --> 00:17:56,113
Okay, if you must know,
I put most of my money

490
00:17:56,143 --> 00:17:57,413
in aggressive S&P index funds.

491
00:17:57,444 --> 00:17:59,514
You know, 'cause I'm young.

492
00:17:59,546 --> 00:18:02,176
DANNY: Wait a minute, what
else are you invested in?
Medical marijuana.

493
00:18:04,551 --> 00:18:05,751
MARISSA:
Hmm.

494
00:18:08,621 --> 00:18:10,521
Hmm.

495
00:18:10,557 --> 00:18:11,887
Uh-uh.
DANNY: Huh.

496
00:18:11,924 --> 00:18:13,334
Who is that?
Uh, don't worry about it.

497
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:14,430
What-- You found someone.

498
00:18:14,461 --> 00:18:16,701
Why didn't you pick Erin?
I didn't have a chance.

499
00:18:16,729 --> 00:18:19,699
Benny grabbed her up.
MARISSA: Benny, huh?
What's going on there?

500
00:18:19,732 --> 00:18:22,342
CHUNK: You got me, but I'll
still find someone to win this.

501
00:18:22,369 --> 00:18:24,869
DANNY: In your dreams.
The five grand is mine.

502
00:18:27,940 --> 00:18:29,210
Hey, hey, hey!
(laughs)

503
00:18:29,242 --> 00:18:30,782
Snooze you lose!

504
00:18:30,810 --> 00:18:32,210
(laughs)

505
00:18:32,245 --> 00:18:33,545
BULL:
Let the games begin.

506
00:18:33,580 --> 00:18:36,450
Erin Howland, 32.

507
00:18:36,483 --> 00:18:39,223
Single, teacher,
fiscally responsible.

508
00:18:39,252 --> 00:18:41,622
And donates to charity.
MARISSA: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

509
00:18:41,654 --> 00:18:43,394
Bring her home to your
mom, not this jury.

510
00:18:43,423 --> 00:18:44,393
My client, Nell,

511
00:18:44,424 --> 00:18:45,594
and juror number three, Larry,

512
00:18:45,625 --> 00:18:47,385
both have backgrounds

513
00:18:47,427 --> 00:18:48,357
in computer science.

514
00:18:48,395 --> 00:18:50,825
Their analytical
and forward-thinking mindset

515
00:18:50,863 --> 00:18:52,703
will ensure that Larry
can relate to her.

516
00:18:52,732 --> 00:18:54,632
CHUNK:
You got Larry,

517
00:18:54,667 --> 00:18:57,237
but the other 11 jurors
are gonna see Nell as nitpicky.

518
00:18:57,270 --> 00:18:58,610
Hank? No.

519
00:18:58,638 --> 00:19:00,868
Trustworthy,
good eye contact and posture.

520
00:19:00,907 --> 00:19:03,277
He looks arrogant
and unapproachable.

521
00:19:03,310 --> 00:19:04,540
He'll alienate
our best jurors.

522
00:19:04,577 --> 00:19:07,477
My victim has a strong
social media presence.

523
00:19:07,514 --> 00:19:09,384
He's opinionated,
articulate.

524
00:19:09,416 --> 00:19:10,876
Sienna will love him.
DANNY: Sienna will hate him.

525
00:19:10,917 --> 00:19:12,487
Your client's
a professional victim.

526
00:19:12,519 --> 00:19:14,189
His Yelp posts
are all complaints.

527
00:19:14,221 --> 00:19:15,521
CABLE:
Yeah, but they're funny--

528
00:19:15,555 --> 00:19:16,515
unlike your client,

529
00:19:16,556 --> 00:19:18,226
who is blocked by every
celebrity on Twitter.

530
00:19:18,258 --> 00:19:19,658
Jasmine's background check

531
00:19:19,692 --> 00:19:21,762
was spotless--
not even a traffic ticket.

532
00:19:21,794 --> 00:19:23,504
See what the promise
of money did?

533
00:19:23,530 --> 00:19:26,670
Just like the stockbrokers,
you exaggerated the positives

534
00:19:26,699 --> 00:19:28,369
and omitted the negatives.

535
00:19:28,401 --> 00:19:30,801
And that is what our jury
has to understand.

536
00:19:30,837 --> 00:19:32,237
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but who wins?

537
00:19:32,272 --> 00:19:33,442
BULL:
No one, yet.

538
00:19:33,473 --> 00:19:35,883
I want to see them after they've
gone through witness prep.

539
00:19:35,908 --> 00:19:38,578
(chuckles):
Oh, well, I can do that.

540
00:19:38,611 --> 00:19:39,511
I don't trust you.

541
00:19:40,380 --> 00:19:41,580
Conflict of interest.

542
00:19:41,614 --> 00:19:42,954
Well, you need
someone to lead with.

543
00:19:42,982 --> 00:19:44,652
Want to start with Erin?

544
00:19:44,684 --> 00:19:47,494
No. Doesn't set the right tone.

545
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:48,860
Break it to her gently.

546
00:19:50,590 --> 00:19:52,730
We might call you
to the stand,

547
00:19:52,759 --> 00:19:54,289
just not as the first witness.

548
00:19:54,327 --> 00:19:56,557
I started saving
six years ago.

549
00:19:56,596 --> 00:19:59,226
I had $19,000.

550
00:19:59,266 --> 00:20:00,466
Half of it was my mother's.

551
00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:01,730
She was helping me
buy a new place

552
00:20:01,768 --> 00:20:03,768
so I don't have to commute
an hour and a half

553
00:20:03,803 --> 00:20:05,743
to school each day.

554
00:20:05,772 --> 00:20:07,842
My mom needs that money.

555
00:20:07,874 --> 00:20:09,614
You can sit next to me

556
00:20:09,642 --> 00:20:11,612
at the plaintiff's table

557
00:20:11,644 --> 00:20:13,254
during the trial.

558
00:20:18,585 --> 00:20:22,585
Did Bull okay you to offer Erin
a seat at the table?

559
00:20:22,622 --> 00:20:25,592
What? You saw her.
It was damage control.

560
00:20:25,625 --> 00:20:26,885
Where's Benny Colón?

561
00:20:26,926 --> 00:20:29,256
Oh, that's me.
You are...?

562
00:20:29,296 --> 00:20:31,326
Sofia Dern. Why the hell'd
you send me a subpoena?

563
00:20:31,364 --> 00:20:32,574
(quietly):
You sent her a subpoena?

564
00:20:32,599 --> 00:20:34,399
Bull must have sent it.

565
00:20:34,434 --> 00:20:37,504
Well, uh, you were a broker
at Brannigan Trust,

566
00:20:37,537 --> 00:20:38,907
which means you have
relevant information.

567
00:20:38,938 --> 00:20:40,908
You need to tell the
jury what happened.

568
00:20:40,940 --> 00:20:42,480
How much you gonna pay me?

569
00:20:42,509 --> 00:20:43,609
It doesn't
work that way.

570
00:20:43,643 --> 00:20:45,283
The SEC involved?

571
00:20:45,312 --> 00:20:46,882
No one is charging
you with a crime.
Oh.

572
00:20:46,913 --> 00:20:48,383
So I'm an expert witness.

573
00:20:48,415 --> 00:20:49,945
You're lucky you're not
at the defense table.

574
00:20:49,982 --> 00:20:52,622
No money, no testimony.

575
00:20:52,652 --> 00:20:55,722
If you don't show up, you
will be subject to arrest.

576
00:20:57,724 --> 00:20:59,394
(grabs papers)

577
00:21:03,330 --> 00:21:04,760
Our victims all feel
like victims.

578
00:21:04,797 --> 00:21:06,397
We need a predator
right off the bat.

579
00:21:06,433 --> 00:21:08,543
MARISSA: What--
you got to be kidding me.

580
00:21:08,568 --> 00:21:10,738
No, jury's gonna love her,
especially Sienna and Larry.

581
00:21:10,770 --> 00:21:12,770
Whoa!

582
00:21:12,805 --> 00:21:14,705
Yeah.

583
00:21:14,741 --> 00:21:16,741
We just found
our star witness.

584
00:21:24,917 --> 00:21:27,347
We empathize with
those who lost money,

585
00:21:27,387 --> 00:21:28,757
but that's the nature
of the market.

586
00:21:28,788 --> 00:21:30,958
Mr. Fuller is too much of
a gentleman to say it,

587
00:21:30,990 --> 00:21:31,960
so I'll say it.

588
00:21:31,991 --> 00:21:32,991
The plaintiffs are unwilling

589
00:21:33,025 --> 00:21:35,595
to accept the consequences
of their decisions,

590
00:21:35,628 --> 00:21:37,328
and now they're
seeking compensation

591
00:21:37,364 --> 00:21:38,434
from the deepest pockets.

592
00:21:38,465 --> 00:21:41,095
Predictable, trying to paint
our clients as greedy.

593
00:21:41,133 --> 00:21:42,873
We're giving them
plenty of ammunition

594
00:21:42,902 --> 00:21:45,042
by starting off
with Sofia.

595
00:21:45,071 --> 00:21:47,341
The jury'll see what
our clients were up against.

596
00:21:47,374 --> 00:21:48,684
Prep was a
nightmare.

597
00:21:48,708 --> 00:21:50,438
She doesn't want
to testify.

598
00:21:50,477 --> 00:21:52,407
Stick with the plan,
play to her ego.

599
00:21:52,445 --> 00:21:55,345
She won't be able to resist
bragging about her conquests.

600
00:21:55,382 --> 00:21:57,682
She's gonna help us prove
the elements of fraud.

601
00:21:57,717 --> 00:21:59,687
She is going to
be uncooperative.

602
00:21:59,719 --> 00:22:01,689
I'll have to treat her
as a hostile witness.

603
00:22:01,721 --> 00:22:03,021
Vortuba's not
gonna let you ask

604
00:22:03,055 --> 00:22:05,015
leading questions,
so don't do it.

605
00:22:05,057 --> 00:22:06,957
What is it with you
and that judge?

606
00:22:06,993 --> 00:22:07,963
He's not the problem.

607
00:22:07,994 --> 00:22:09,464
I need her cooperative

608
00:22:09,496 --> 00:22:11,626
and not feeling forced;
are you on board?

609
00:22:18,738 --> 00:22:20,438
Where is your star witness?

610
00:22:20,473 --> 00:22:22,483
Building anticipation
for her testimony, no doubt.

611
00:22:24,944 --> 00:22:26,784
Are all parties
ready to proceed?

612
00:22:26,813 --> 00:22:28,423
The defense answers
ready for trial.

613
00:22:31,618 --> 00:22:32,918
Mr. Colón?
Yes, Your Honor.

614
00:22:32,952 --> 00:22:35,092
Our first witness
is not here yet.

615
00:22:35,121 --> 00:22:36,991
I'd like to request
an arrest warrant

616
00:22:37,023 --> 00:22:38,063
for failure to appear.

617
00:22:38,090 --> 00:22:40,730
It is so ordered. You have
until the end of the day

618
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,760
to find her,
but the show must go on.

619
00:22:43,796 --> 00:22:45,426
So we'll have
a 30-minute recess,

620
00:22:45,465 --> 00:22:46,925
and then we'll hear
opening statements

621
00:22:46,966 --> 00:22:48,496
and go right into witnesses.

622
00:22:55,442 --> 00:22:57,742
SOFIA (recorded): You've
reached Sofia Dern's office.

623
00:22:57,777 --> 00:22:59,447
Straight to voice mail.

624
00:22:59,479 --> 00:23:01,649
None of the other witnesses
are ready to testify.

625
00:23:01,681 --> 00:23:03,151
Then stall.
How?

626
00:23:03,182 --> 00:23:04,152
File a motion.

627
00:23:04,183 --> 00:23:05,693
Argue a point
of discovery.

628
00:23:05,718 --> 00:23:07,948
You've done this before.

629
00:23:07,987 --> 00:23:10,057
What--
Where are you going?

630
00:23:10,089 --> 00:23:12,159
Shop for a car.

631
00:23:12,191 --> 00:23:14,661
Stall till I get back.

632
00:23:14,694 --> 00:23:16,504
You don't have to come up
with some bogus reason

633
00:23:16,529 --> 00:23:18,469
to stall and annoy the
jury; put me on the stand.

634
00:23:18,498 --> 00:23:20,598
Bull wants to see you
in front of a mock jury first.

635
00:23:20,633 --> 00:23:21,633
I'm ready.

636
00:23:21,668 --> 00:23:23,438
Look, we haven't
finished your prep.

637
00:23:23,470 --> 00:23:25,140
Then let's finish it.
I'm a quick study.

638
00:23:25,171 --> 00:23:26,911
No, we only have 30 minutes.

639
00:23:26,939 --> 00:23:28,709
Have you ever worked
with 11-year-olds?

640
00:23:28,741 --> 00:23:30,481
That's an eternity.

641
00:23:31,778 --> 00:23:33,978
Silver Tempest,
my favorite color.

642
00:23:34,013 --> 00:23:35,113
You have good taste.

643
00:23:35,147 --> 00:23:36,577
This is the sexiest car
on the lot.

644
00:23:36,616 --> 00:23:38,716
Well, I've been eyeing it
for a while.

645
00:23:38,751 --> 00:23:40,221
It's the perfect ride
for people like us.

646
00:23:40,252 --> 00:23:41,192
People like us?

647
00:23:41,220 --> 00:23:42,690
Someone who
won't settle for

648
00:23:42,722 --> 00:23:44,492
anything but the best.

649
00:23:45,558 --> 00:23:46,928
Am I wrong?

650
00:23:46,959 --> 00:23:49,199
Well, cars like this
can be temperamental.

651
00:23:49,228 --> 00:23:52,228
I don't want to spend
my whole life in the shop.

652
00:23:52,264 --> 00:23:53,874
Well, that is the best
feature of them all.

653
00:23:53,900 --> 00:23:55,470
It's a brand you can trust.

654
00:23:55,502 --> 00:23:57,542
How about we take it for a spin?

655
00:23:57,570 --> 00:23:58,640
Why don't we?

656
00:24:00,239 --> 00:24:01,609
I trusted them.

657
00:24:01,641 --> 00:24:03,481
I had no reason not to.

658
00:24:03,510 --> 00:24:05,680
I'd been with Brannigan
since I was a teenager.

659
00:24:05,712 --> 00:24:07,952
My babysitting money
was in there.

660
00:24:07,980 --> 00:24:09,920
(quietly): This looks a lot
easier when Bull does it.

661
00:24:09,949 --> 00:24:11,519
ERIN: I've never fallen
for anything like this.

662
00:24:11,551 --> 00:24:12,791
Fool me once.
(chuckles)

663
00:24:12,819 --> 00:24:14,189
MARISSA (over earpiece):
How's it going?

664
00:24:14,220 --> 00:24:15,520
Sienna's tilting her head.

665
00:24:15,555 --> 00:24:16,755
It looks like
she's warming to Erin.

666
00:24:16,789 --> 00:24:17,759
I can relate.

667
00:24:17,790 --> 00:24:19,860
Pretty much every teenage
girl on the planet

668
00:24:19,892 --> 00:24:21,132
earned money babysitting.

669
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:21,930
Not me.

670
00:24:21,961 --> 00:24:23,631
Why not?
All my siblings were older.

671
00:24:23,663 --> 00:24:24,833
They babysat me.

672
00:24:24,864 --> 00:24:26,074
My parents made me come up

673
00:24:26,098 --> 00:24:28,568
with more creative ways
to make money.

674
00:24:28,601 --> 00:24:30,041
Like hacking?
Maybe.

675
00:24:30,069 --> 00:24:32,169
GLAUSTER:
Years ago, Ms. Howland,

676
00:24:32,204 --> 00:24:36,014
you donated to the
Humanitarian Fund of America.

677
00:24:36,042 --> 00:24:37,882
I think that was the name of it.

678
00:24:37,910 --> 00:24:39,580
Uh, is there a point to this,
Your Honor?

679
00:24:39,612 --> 00:24:40,812
Charity was a fraud.

680
00:24:40,847 --> 00:24:44,077
Shut down by the IRS
three years ago.

681
00:24:44,116 --> 00:24:45,276
MARISSA:
Wait, why did Erin not tell us

682
00:24:45,317 --> 00:24:46,317
that she'd been conned before?

683
00:24:46,352 --> 00:24:48,692
CHUNK: By the looks of
it, she just found out.

684
00:24:48,721 --> 00:24:51,821
It's not like we have a list
of every charity she donated to.

685
00:24:51,858 --> 00:24:54,228
We need to prove that her
actions were reasonable.

686
00:24:54,260 --> 00:24:55,530
Like Bull predicted,

687
00:24:55,562 --> 00:24:57,132
he's making her look uninformed,

688
00:24:57,163 --> 00:24:58,673
like she doesn't
do her homework.

689
00:24:58,698 --> 00:25:00,098
HFOA was a fraud?

690
00:25:00,132 --> 00:25:02,172
Are you sure?
GLAUSTER:
So I guess it's...

691
00:25:02,201 --> 00:25:05,271
fool you twice,
isn't it, Ms. Howland?

692
00:25:05,304 --> 00:25:05,814
Objection!

693
00:25:05,838 --> 00:25:07,508
(chuckles nervously)

694
00:25:09,275 --> 00:25:11,605
We still have
other witnesses.

695
00:25:11,644 --> 00:25:13,684
How am I so gullible?

696
00:25:13,713 --> 00:25:14,683
Hey.

697
00:25:14,714 --> 00:25:17,584
We all make mistakes.

698
00:25:17,617 --> 00:25:21,587
Sometimes well-meaning,
but still life-changing.

699
00:25:21,621 --> 00:25:24,991
I recently had a case resurface.

700
00:25:26,726 --> 00:25:28,926
I sent a man to prison
for nine years

701
00:25:28,961 --> 00:25:30,601
for a crime he didn't commit.

702
00:25:31,631 --> 00:25:33,631
So...

703
00:25:33,666 --> 00:25:35,996
I know what you're dealing with.

704
00:25:37,604 --> 00:25:41,644
Look, you are not a fool.

705
00:25:41,674 --> 00:25:42,784
Okay?

706
00:25:42,809 --> 00:25:44,639
You are a kind

707
00:25:44,677 --> 00:25:45,947
and beautiful woman,

708
00:25:45,978 --> 00:25:48,818
whose kindness got
taken advantage of.

709
00:25:48,848 --> 00:25:50,018
Yeah?

710
00:25:50,049 --> 00:25:51,279
Yeah.

711
00:25:59,759 --> 00:26:00,659
I bet you love the control.

712
00:26:00,693 --> 00:26:03,233
Indescribable.

713
00:26:03,262 --> 00:26:04,802
(chuckles)

714
00:26:04,831 --> 00:26:06,371
This isn't my
normal route,

715
00:26:06,398 --> 00:26:07,998
but we're having fun, right?

716
00:26:08,034 --> 00:26:10,244
Right.

717
00:26:14,373 --> 00:26:15,783
Why are we stopping here?
What's going on?

718
00:26:15,808 --> 00:26:17,678
Well, that man has
a warrant for your arrest.

719
00:26:17,710 --> 00:26:21,280
You're supposed to appear
in court and testify.

720
00:26:21,313 --> 00:26:23,783
In fact, you have
about five minutes.

721
00:26:23,816 --> 00:26:24,946
If you hurry,
you can make it.

722
00:26:24,984 --> 00:26:26,024
What about my car?

723
00:26:26,052 --> 00:26:27,822
Oh, don't worry,
it's in good hands.

724
00:26:27,854 --> 00:26:29,624
I'll keep it warm for you.

725
00:26:32,191 --> 00:26:33,261
Tell the truth.

726
00:26:33,292 --> 00:26:34,762
Sofia Dern,
come with me.

727
00:26:34,794 --> 00:26:36,164
(chuckles)

728
00:26:44,003 --> 00:26:45,673
BENNY:
Uh, Ms. Dern,

729
00:26:45,705 --> 00:26:47,835
so you were one of
the top stockbrokers

730
00:26:47,874 --> 00:26:49,214
at Brannigan Trust?

731
00:26:49,241 --> 00:26:51,041
Are you serious?

732
00:26:51,077 --> 00:26:52,907
I was the top earner.

733
00:26:52,945 --> 00:26:54,775
BENNY: Which means what?
You were making about

734
00:26:54,814 --> 00:26:57,084
$300,000 a year?

735
00:26:57,116 --> 00:27:01,416
Last year, I netted
over $750,000.

736
00:27:01,453 --> 00:27:03,323
BENNY:
Did you disclose

737
00:27:03,355 --> 00:27:05,925
your own interest in the stocks
to your clients?

738
00:27:05,958 --> 00:27:07,988
It was part of the pitch.
What about when you
were planning to sell?

739
00:27:08,027 --> 00:27:09,157
Did you disclose that?

740
00:27:09,195 --> 00:27:10,155
Sometimes.

741
00:27:10,196 --> 00:27:11,726
But I never said I would.

742
00:27:11,764 --> 00:27:13,234
You used the name
"Brannigan Trust" as bait.

743
00:27:13,265 --> 00:27:14,365
Objection. Leading.

744
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:15,200
Sustained.

745
00:27:15,234 --> 00:27:16,844
BENNY: Would it
surprise you to learn

746
00:27:16,869 --> 00:27:19,009
that you mentioned
Brannigan Trust

747
00:27:19,038 --> 00:27:22,908
an average of
seven times per call?

748
00:27:22,942 --> 00:27:25,312
You have to lead with
your strongest suit.

749
00:27:25,344 --> 00:27:27,754
MARISSA:
Biometrics are telling me

750
00:27:27,780 --> 00:27:29,750
that even though we proved
the elements of fraud,

751
00:27:29,782 --> 00:27:32,022
the mirrors for Sienna and Larry

752
00:27:32,051 --> 00:27:33,951
don't think they'd fall
for her pitch.

753
00:27:33,986 --> 00:27:35,446
They want more than
the law requires.

754
00:27:35,487 --> 00:27:37,287
They need to see it
wasn't just fraudulent,

755
00:27:37,323 --> 00:27:38,733
but malicious as well.

756
00:27:38,758 --> 00:27:39,958
(pen taps paper)

757
00:27:41,127 --> 00:27:42,327
Excuse me, Your Honor.

758
00:27:52,071 --> 00:27:54,271
Were specific Brannigan
clients targeted?

759
00:27:54,306 --> 00:27:55,806
We call them leads.

760
00:27:55,842 --> 00:27:58,042
Oh. People like
Erin Howland

761
00:27:58,077 --> 00:27:59,847
and first-time investors.

762
00:27:59,879 --> 00:28:00,849
Who else?

763
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,280
Elderly clients near retirement,

764
00:28:02,314 --> 00:28:04,854
so we could pitch them
on a last push into wealth

765
00:28:04,884 --> 00:28:06,254
before they have to dip
into their savings.

766
00:28:06,285 --> 00:28:09,085
BULL:
Sienna's getting uncomfortable.

767
00:28:09,121 --> 00:28:10,761
She thinks Sofia's deceptive.

768
00:28:10,790 --> 00:28:12,060
But our projections
indicate that

769
00:28:12,091 --> 00:28:13,791
six of our jurors
won't hold their ground.

770
00:28:13,826 --> 00:28:17,156
They'll cave to Larry within
the first day of deliberations.

771
00:28:17,196 --> 00:28:19,196
And these leads--
were they on a list?

772
00:28:22,001 --> 00:28:22,971
Yes.

773
00:28:23,002 --> 00:28:25,042
And what was that list called?

774
00:28:32,311 --> 00:28:33,981
The Sucker's List.

775
00:28:37,984 --> 00:28:39,924
BENNY: The Sucker's List
landed on the jury.

776
00:28:39,952 --> 00:28:41,152
Sofia's really
going to help us.

777
00:28:41,187 --> 00:28:42,387
Why'd you call Erin
to the stand?

778
00:28:42,421 --> 00:28:44,091
You said stall.

779
00:28:44,123 --> 00:28:47,263
Was anything I said unclear
when we discussed this?

780
00:28:47,293 --> 00:28:49,863
I didn't think she'd sway
the jury, and she didn't.

781
00:28:49,896 --> 00:28:51,126
Now we need a
new strategy.

782
00:28:51,163 --> 00:28:52,773
Why?
I... I was in a jam.

783
00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:53,899
You can't lie to me,

784
00:28:53,933 --> 00:28:55,373
so don't try.
Fine!

785
00:28:55,401 --> 00:28:56,441
Fine.

786
00:28:56,468 --> 00:28:58,238
I thought
she'd do better.

787
00:28:58,270 --> 00:28:59,270
But come on.

788
00:28:59,305 --> 00:29:01,935
We just started
our attack, okay?

789
00:29:01,974 --> 00:29:03,244
Sofia went well.

790
00:29:03,275 --> 00:29:04,905
Not well enough.

791
00:29:04,944 --> 00:29:06,314
We need to call Fuller.

792
00:29:06,345 --> 00:29:07,475
Brannigan's CEO?

793
00:29:07,513 --> 00:29:09,023
Mm-hmm.

794
00:29:09,048 --> 00:29:11,448
If we call him, Glauster
will get to cross-examine him

795
00:29:11,483 --> 00:29:12,853
with softball questions.

796
00:29:12,885 --> 00:29:14,445
Let the defense
call him to the stand.

797
00:29:14,486 --> 00:29:16,256
We have to call him;
otherwise, it'll look like

798
00:29:16,288 --> 00:29:17,888
we're afraid of
what he has to say.

799
00:29:17,924 --> 00:29:20,064
Worse, it'll look like he's
a witness for the defense.

800
00:29:20,092 --> 00:29:22,162
He is.
But it won't
look that way

801
00:29:22,194 --> 00:29:23,504
if we call him as a witness
for the prosecution.

802
00:29:23,529 --> 00:29:25,059
He's smooth.

803
00:29:25,097 --> 00:29:27,867
Expose him for who he is:

804
00:29:27,900 --> 00:29:29,540
a man who made
$76 million last year,

805
00:29:29,568 --> 00:29:31,868
while his clients
lost everything.

806
00:29:31,904 --> 00:29:35,914
His company targeted these
people and stole their money.

807
00:29:35,942 --> 00:29:38,142
I need aggro-Benny.
Pit bull.

808
00:29:38,177 --> 00:29:40,977
All right.
I hear you.

809
00:29:41,013 --> 00:29:41,983
Do you?

810
00:29:42,014 --> 00:29:43,024
Yes!

811
00:29:44,984 --> 00:29:46,124
(door closes)

812
00:29:46,152 --> 00:29:48,592
Brannigan Trust
has a long-standing

813
00:29:48,620 --> 00:29:50,260
tradition of excellence.

814
00:29:50,289 --> 00:29:52,189
It's a respected institution,

815
00:29:52,224 --> 00:29:54,394
part of the fabric
of so many lives.

816
00:29:54,426 --> 00:29:56,326
We offer small business loans...

817
00:29:56,362 --> 00:30:00,932
Eh, let's-let's focus on your
Alternative Investment Division,

818
00:30:00,967 --> 00:30:03,337
where Sofia Dern worked.

819
00:30:03,369 --> 00:30:05,339
Ms. Dern is an overly
aggressive salesperson.

820
00:30:05,371 --> 00:30:07,311
But your company hired her.
And we fired her.

821
00:30:07,339 --> 00:30:10,139
Because she was involved
in a pump-and-dump

822
00:30:10,176 --> 00:30:11,506
supported by Brannigan Trust.

823
00:30:11,543 --> 00:30:12,583
Objection. Leading,

824
00:30:12,611 --> 00:30:14,381
compound and badgering.

825
00:30:14,413 --> 00:30:17,123
Sustained, sustained
and sustained.

826
00:30:17,149 --> 00:30:18,519
Benny's invading Fuller's space.

827
00:30:18,550 --> 00:30:19,950
MARISSA:
Well, you said pit bull.

828
00:30:19,986 --> 00:30:21,346
BENNY: Did you
close the division?

829
00:30:21,387 --> 00:30:24,887
It was folded into
another division.

830
00:30:24,924 --> 00:30:26,434
It was a corporate decision made

831
00:30:26,458 --> 00:30:27,888
due to several factors,

832
00:30:27,927 --> 00:30:29,527
all in the best interest
of our shareholders.

833
00:30:29,561 --> 00:30:31,161
But not your clients.

834
00:30:31,197 --> 00:30:32,997
Is there a question coming?
BENNY: Yes, sure.

835
00:30:33,032 --> 00:30:34,432
Here's one:

836
00:30:34,466 --> 00:30:36,966
Putting all the corporate
babble aside, isn't it true

837
00:30:37,003 --> 00:30:38,973
that the division
was nothing more than

838
00:30:39,005 --> 00:30:40,205
a boiler room
in a high-rent office?!

839
00:30:40,239 --> 00:30:41,209
GLAUSTER:
Objection!

840
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,410
Sustained. Last warning.

841
00:30:42,441 --> 00:30:44,181
BULL: He's supposed to make
Fuller look like the bully,

842
00:30:44,210 --> 00:30:45,280
not the other way around.

843
00:30:45,311 --> 00:30:47,351
BENNY:
The high volume

844
00:30:47,379 --> 00:30:48,879
and the timing of the sale

845
00:30:48,915 --> 00:30:51,575
clearly shows intent to defraud,
don't you agree?

846
00:30:51,617 --> 00:30:53,187
FULLER:
No, I don't.

847
00:30:53,219 --> 00:30:55,119
Our brokers didn't sell
penny stocks,

848
00:30:55,154 --> 00:30:57,364
which are what
you normally associate

849
00:30:57,389 --> 00:30:59,489
with the boiler rooms
you're talking about.

850
00:30:59,525 --> 00:31:01,455
All stocks were
listed on NASDAQ

851
00:31:01,493 --> 00:31:03,363
and the New York Stock Exchange.

852
00:31:03,395 --> 00:31:08,065
More than 4,000 people
lost their entire savings.

853
00:31:08,100 --> 00:31:10,340
FULLER: And tens
of thousands made money.

854
00:31:10,369 --> 00:31:12,439
Now, I do feel for your clients,

855
00:31:12,471 --> 00:31:14,441
but in the same way
that I feel for those

856
00:31:14,473 --> 00:31:16,483
who lose their savings
in Vegas.

857
00:31:16,508 --> 00:31:19,008
It's about
personal responsibility.

858
00:31:19,045 --> 00:31:21,345
You buried the fact
that you targeted Erin,

859
00:31:21,380 --> 00:31:23,350
all of these victims,
who were referred to

860
00:31:23,382 --> 00:31:25,052
as "suckers," because
they were vulnerable.

861
00:31:25,084 --> 00:31:26,654
GLAUSTER:
Objection!

862
00:31:26,685 --> 00:31:28,245
Again, where's the question?

863
00:31:28,287 --> 00:31:29,287
JUDGE VORTUBA:
Sustained.

864
00:31:29,321 --> 00:31:30,691
BULL:
Larry's checked out.

865
00:31:30,722 --> 00:31:33,292
He's made up his mind,
and it's not in our favor.

866
00:31:33,325 --> 00:31:34,285
Your Honor,
let me rephrase.

867
00:31:34,326 --> 00:31:35,286
We've rephrased enough.

868
00:31:35,327 --> 00:31:36,527
Sit down.

869
00:31:36,562 --> 00:31:40,402
MARISSA: By the way, costs are
double our initial estimate.

870
00:31:40,432 --> 00:31:41,572
We'll make it back.

871
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,540
Well, if not, you may need
to hit Fuller up for a loan.

872
00:31:48,140 --> 00:31:50,110
BENNY:
Hey, we should talk.

873
00:31:50,142 --> 00:31:51,542
I-I know. I didn't mean
to look embarrassed

874
00:31:51,577 --> 00:31:53,507
in front of the jury,
but I didn't know you were gonna

875
00:31:53,545 --> 00:31:55,445
call me out
for being vulnerable.

876
00:31:55,481 --> 00:31:59,051
It wasn't scripted, and I
was a little out of control.

877
00:31:59,085 --> 00:32:01,015
(exhales)

878
00:32:01,053 --> 00:32:02,653
That kiss
should've never happened.

879
00:32:02,688 --> 00:32:04,558
I know. You're right.

880
00:32:04,590 --> 00:32:06,490
Can't happen again.

881
00:32:06,525 --> 00:32:08,185
It was unprofessional.

882
00:32:08,227 --> 00:32:10,357
And fun.

883
00:32:10,396 --> 00:32:12,226
(exhales)

884
00:32:12,264 --> 00:32:14,434
You are my client.

885
00:32:14,466 --> 00:32:17,466
And you're going
through a lot.

886
00:32:17,503 --> 00:32:19,313
I don't want
to take advantage of that.

887
00:32:19,338 --> 00:32:23,278
Maybe you're the one
who can't handle it.

888
00:32:26,078 --> 00:32:28,308
Congratulations. You could
sell water to a whale.

889
00:32:28,347 --> 00:32:29,477
Whales need water.

890
00:32:29,515 --> 00:32:31,415
Thanks for taking care
of my arrest warrant.

891
00:32:31,450 --> 00:32:32,480
Thanks for your testimony.

892
00:32:32,518 --> 00:32:33,418
So we're even.

893
00:32:33,452 --> 00:32:35,122
I'll see you around.
Yeah.

894
00:32:35,154 --> 00:32:37,564
I was hoping, uh, we
could make one more deal.

895
00:32:37,589 --> 00:32:39,189
(chuckles)
I don't think so.

896
00:32:39,225 --> 00:32:40,455
You might enjoy it.

897
00:32:40,492 --> 00:32:42,532
Whatever it is,
it'll cost you.

898
00:32:42,561 --> 00:32:45,561
We have one juror who was not
convinced by your testimony.

899
00:32:45,597 --> 00:32:46,467
Oh, really?

900
00:32:46,498 --> 00:32:48,398
Mm. Thinks he's
immune to being sold.

901
00:32:48,434 --> 00:32:51,204
You convince him that it's not
just suckers who get scammed,

902
00:32:51,237 --> 00:32:52,597
you can name your price.

903
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:53,738
One provision.

904
00:32:53,772 --> 00:32:56,582
You cannot, under any
circumstances, discuss the case.

905
00:32:56,608 --> 00:33:00,008
Because that would be
tampering?

906
00:33:00,046 --> 00:33:01,646
Here's the way
I think this works.

907
00:33:02,681 --> 00:33:05,221
It's all about
the approach.

908
00:33:05,251 --> 00:33:07,521
At least, that's what
they taught us at the FBI.

909
00:33:07,553 --> 00:33:08,753
You know, one time
I spent a month

910
00:33:08,787 --> 00:33:10,517
jogging on the same
path as a target

911
00:33:10,556 --> 00:33:12,486
until it felt natural
to introduce myself.

912
00:33:12,524 --> 00:33:14,094
Sofia's on the
accelerated plan.

913
00:33:14,126 --> 00:33:16,526
She doesn't need him to get
to turn state's witness.

914
00:33:16,562 --> 00:33:17,732
All she needs to do
is convince him

915
00:33:17,763 --> 00:33:20,173
that not only suckers
get conned.

916
00:33:22,501 --> 00:33:24,171
Didn't I see you in court?

917
00:33:24,203 --> 00:33:25,173
Yeah.

918
00:33:25,204 --> 00:33:26,244
I'm Sofia.

919
00:33:26,272 --> 00:33:27,442
Larry.

920
00:33:27,473 --> 00:33:29,343
You're not gonna get
that cake pop, are you?

921
00:33:29,375 --> 00:33:30,535
Oh, no.

922
00:33:30,576 --> 00:33:31,676
Deferential.

923
00:33:31,710 --> 00:33:33,050
Good first step.

924
00:33:33,079 --> 00:33:34,109
Very appealing to Larry.

925
00:33:34,146 --> 00:33:35,346
SOFIA:
You know, it's so funny.

926
00:33:35,381 --> 00:33:38,581
I get to stand up there and
you get to hear all about me,

927
00:33:38,617 --> 00:33:40,647
but I don't get to know
anything about you.

928
00:33:40,686 --> 00:33:42,716
We won't get in trouble
for talking, will we?

929
00:33:42,754 --> 00:33:45,064
As long as we don't talk
about the case.
Oh.

930
00:33:45,091 --> 00:33:46,361
I'm an accountant.

931
00:33:46,392 --> 00:33:48,532
You know, I
love numbers.

932
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,560
Finance is my passion.

933
00:33:54,300 --> 00:33:56,570
Mint?

934
00:33:56,602 --> 00:33:59,512
BULL: Best way to solidify trust
is to offer something.

935
00:33:59,538 --> 00:34:01,568
If they accept and offer
something in return,

936
00:34:01,607 --> 00:34:03,237
a bond has been formed.

937
00:34:03,275 --> 00:34:04,475
Hmm.

938
00:34:04,510 --> 00:34:05,610
My-my treat.

939
00:34:05,644 --> 00:34:07,354
DANNY:
And there it is.

940
00:34:09,648 --> 00:34:11,818
BULL: And now he'll trust her
no matter what she says.

941
00:34:11,850 --> 00:34:13,550
There's a table.

942
00:34:13,585 --> 00:34:15,615
Uh, sorry.
I have to be back in court.

943
00:34:15,654 --> 00:34:17,764
Oh, no. No, you don't.
Not yet.

944
00:34:17,789 --> 00:34:19,489
You have at least
15 minutes.
Really?

945
00:34:19,525 --> 00:34:20,525
Yeah.

946
00:34:22,494 --> 00:34:23,664
Judge. Hello.

947
00:34:23,695 --> 00:34:25,125
Ms. Dern?

948
00:34:25,164 --> 00:34:26,504
Exactly what are
you two doing?

949
00:34:26,532 --> 00:34:29,242
Uh, we're allowed
to talk, aren't we?

950
00:34:30,369 --> 00:34:31,839
(chuckles):
Oh.

951
00:34:31,870 --> 00:34:33,270
Hey, Judge Vortuba.

952
00:34:33,305 --> 00:34:34,635
That's not good.

953
00:34:40,612 --> 00:34:42,712
Oh, don't give me that.
I know this was you, Bull.

954
00:34:42,748 --> 00:34:46,788
I know it was you!
Disgraceful. More cheating.

955
00:34:46,818 --> 00:34:49,618
I didn't, and I
don't cheat, Judge.

956
00:34:49,655 --> 00:34:50,885
And I can have you disbarred.

957
00:34:50,922 --> 00:34:53,832
Your Honor, I had no idea Ms.
Dern was with one of the jurors.

958
00:34:53,859 --> 00:34:56,399
GLAUSTER: Oh, their witness was
clearly trying to influence him.

959
00:34:56,428 --> 00:34:58,198
The defense moves
for an immediate dismissal,

960
00:34:58,230 --> 00:34:59,270
with prejudice.

961
00:34:59,298 --> 00:35:01,128
Do you have any proof
that there was misconduct?

962
00:35:01,167 --> 00:35:02,467
I would be delighted to hear it.

963
00:35:02,501 --> 00:35:04,471
Res ipsa loquitur.
It speaks for itself.

964
00:35:04,503 --> 00:35:06,713
If I find a scintilla

965
00:35:06,738 --> 00:35:08,368
of proof that there was
jury tampering...

966
00:35:08,407 --> 00:35:10,537
Tuba, you know
better than that.

967
00:35:10,576 --> 00:35:12,806
BENNY: Now, the prudent
thing to do is to have

968
00:35:12,844 --> 00:35:14,214
juror number three
removed from the panel

969
00:35:14,246 --> 00:35:15,276
and replaced with an alternate.

970
00:35:15,314 --> 00:35:16,584
You've got to be kidding me!

971
00:35:16,615 --> 00:35:18,875
You want to be rewarded
for what you've done?

972
00:35:18,917 --> 00:35:21,847
Even absent any evidence
that they discussed the case,

973
00:35:21,887 --> 00:35:23,357
or that his opinion was altered,

974
00:35:23,389 --> 00:35:25,419
you still have the option
of removing the juror.

975
00:35:25,457 --> 00:35:26,857
No, thank you, Your Honor.

976
00:35:26,892 --> 00:35:29,232
JUDGE VORTUBA: Fine.
We'll move to closing arguments.

977
00:35:29,261 --> 00:35:32,461
And you are barred
from my courtroom.

978
00:35:32,498 --> 00:35:33,828
(sighs)

979
00:35:33,865 --> 00:35:35,465
(door slams)

980
00:35:37,236 --> 00:35:39,636
Well, your plan
was inventive.

981
00:35:39,671 --> 00:35:41,341
I'll give you that.

982
00:35:41,373 --> 00:35:44,283
Judge Vortuba hasn't been in
a coffee shop in two years.

983
00:35:44,310 --> 00:35:45,910
Today he decides to
get his own beverage?

984
00:35:45,944 --> 00:35:47,884
Vortuba already hated us.

985
00:35:47,913 --> 00:35:49,623
I'm worried about Larry.

986
00:35:49,648 --> 00:35:52,778
We need a unanimous vote,
and we humiliated him.

987
00:35:52,818 --> 00:35:54,618
Total backfire.

988
00:35:54,653 --> 00:35:56,323
Not necessarily.

989
00:35:56,355 --> 00:35:58,555
True, he's embarrassed.

990
00:35:58,590 --> 00:36:00,830
And he's gonna
blame it on me.

991
00:36:00,859 --> 00:36:03,759
As an unintended consequence,
we almost got Larry booted.

992
00:36:03,795 --> 00:36:06,665
All we have to do is
spin this in our favor.

993
00:36:06,698 --> 00:36:07,868
Bull. (sighs)

994
00:36:07,899 --> 00:36:09,799
Our juror is angry.

995
00:36:09,835 --> 00:36:11,565
We tried to trick him.

996
00:36:11,603 --> 00:36:13,773
Tried.

997
00:36:13,805 --> 00:36:17,275
To prove fraud, we don't need
Larry to have fallen for this.

998
00:36:17,309 --> 00:36:19,379
All we need is to show
him he fell for Sofia,

999
00:36:19,411 --> 00:36:20,411
so he can still

1000
00:36:20,446 --> 00:36:22,246
identify with our victims.

1001
00:36:22,281 --> 00:36:25,921
Feel the same thing:
shame, then anger.

1002
00:36:25,951 --> 00:36:27,491
We got this, Benny.

1003
00:36:28,887 --> 00:36:33,857
These plaintiffs knew
exactly what they were doing.

1004
00:36:33,892 --> 00:36:36,932
They played the market,
and they lost.

1005
00:36:36,962 --> 00:36:39,372
So now they're suing the bank?

1006
00:36:39,398 --> 00:36:40,768
(laughs)

1007
00:36:40,799 --> 00:36:42,699
I mean, what next?

1008
00:36:42,734 --> 00:36:47,014
Suing the lottery
when you don't win the jackpot?

1009
00:36:47,038 --> 00:36:49,308
That's not reasonable.

1010
00:36:49,341 --> 00:36:52,611
Investors have
to take responsibility

1011
00:36:52,644 --> 00:36:54,884
for their own decisions.

1012
00:36:54,913 --> 00:36:56,883
MARISSA:
He's effective.

1013
00:36:56,915 --> 00:36:58,745
Sienna's mirror
is wavering.

1014
00:36:58,784 --> 00:37:03,994
Being the victim of a scam
is a frustrating

1015
00:37:04,022 --> 00:37:08,692
and embarrassing experience,
whether you fall for it or not.

1016
00:37:10,028 --> 00:37:13,328
That's no reason
to blame the victim.

1017
00:37:13,365 --> 00:37:16,995
Blame the people
who manipulated the system

1018
00:37:17,035 --> 00:37:19,735
with target research

1019
00:37:19,771 --> 00:37:23,841
and sophisticated marketing
tools to con the people

1020
00:37:23,875 --> 00:37:25,775
that they didn't think
had the wherewithal

1021
00:37:25,811 --> 00:37:26,951
to take on the system.

1022
00:37:26,978 --> 00:37:29,478
Brannigan Trust,

1023
00:37:29,515 --> 00:37:31,375
a name we all thought
we can trust,

1024
00:37:31,417 --> 00:37:35,987
committed fraud
simply by making the offer.

1025
00:37:36,021 --> 00:37:38,421
You don't have to buy
into it to see it.

1026
00:37:38,457 --> 00:37:41,487
We proved it,
their brokers admitted it.

1027
00:37:41,527 --> 00:37:43,457
Any reasonable person

1028
00:37:43,495 --> 00:37:46,695
can see their misrepresentation
of the facts.

1029
00:37:49,535 --> 00:37:51,865
They've been out for five hours.

1030
00:37:51,903 --> 00:37:53,443
Bull would say
that's a good thing.

1031
00:37:53,472 --> 00:37:55,812
How much money
did we spend on this trial?

1032
00:37:55,841 --> 00:37:57,341
A... lot.

1033
00:37:57,376 --> 00:37:59,076
Are we gonna be okay
if we lose it?

1034
00:37:59,110 --> 00:38:00,610
DANNY: What are you
worried about?

1035
00:38:00,646 --> 00:38:03,516
With your joint ventures
and your bank accounts?

1036
00:38:03,549 --> 00:38:05,779
I told you, I don't talk about
personal finance at work.

1037
00:38:05,817 --> 00:38:06,787
MARISSA:
Okay, we're fine.

1038
00:38:06,818 --> 00:38:09,018
You have nothing to worry about.
(phone vibrates)

1039
00:38:11,857 --> 00:38:13,927
Jury's back.

1040
00:38:15,994 --> 00:38:18,334
What is it with you
and this judge?

1041
00:38:18,364 --> 00:38:20,474
TP his house
or something?

1042
00:38:20,499 --> 00:38:21,899
Chunk, no.

1043
00:38:21,933 --> 00:38:23,443
That's very juvenile.

1044
00:38:23,469 --> 00:38:24,799
Did you sleep
with his wife?

1045
00:38:24,836 --> 00:38:25,796
No.

1046
00:38:25,837 --> 00:38:28,037
He thinks I kicked
my ball out of the rough.

1047
00:38:28,073 --> 00:38:29,113
It was just an acorn.

1048
00:38:29,140 --> 00:38:30,810
This is about golf?

1049
00:38:30,842 --> 00:38:32,012
Isn't everything?
Oh, man.

1050
00:38:32,043 --> 00:38:32,713
You cheated?

1051
00:38:32,744 --> 00:38:34,454
I don't need to cheat with him.

1052
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,820
Vortuba's eyes
are failing.

1053
00:38:36,848 --> 00:38:38,048
He won't get checked.

1054
00:38:38,083 --> 00:38:39,153
That's what I think
this is really about.

1055
00:38:39,184 --> 00:38:41,424
Maybe you can give him a session
before this verdict.

1056
00:38:41,453 --> 00:38:42,353
REPORTER: Here they come!
REPORTER 2:
Can you tell us the verdict?

1057
00:38:42,388 --> 00:38:43,518
REPORTER 3:
Did they find in your favor?

1058
00:38:43,555 --> 00:38:44,855
MAN:
We won!

1059
00:38:44,890 --> 00:38:45,920
Brannigan Trust is guilty!

1060
00:38:45,957 --> 00:38:48,487
(people cheering, clamoring)

1061
00:38:50,028 --> 00:38:52,558
Excuse me.

1062
00:38:52,598 --> 00:38:55,528
Hi. Thank you.

1063
00:38:55,567 --> 00:38:56,967
Thank you so much.

1064
00:38:57,002 --> 00:38:58,102
You're welcome.

1065
00:38:58,136 --> 00:39:00,336
Thank you for everything.

1066
00:39:03,975 --> 00:39:06,105
Be careful with her.

1067
00:39:06,144 --> 00:39:08,454
What? No, no, no.

1068
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,020
You got it all wrong.
We're not...

1069
00:39:10,048 --> 00:39:11,648
Looks like you are.

1070
00:39:11,683 --> 00:39:13,823
(laughs)

1071
00:39:13,852 --> 00:39:15,052
I thought about it.

1072
00:39:15,086 --> 00:39:16,516
I wanted to.

1073
00:39:16,555 --> 00:39:18,355
Not the right time.

1074
00:39:19,691 --> 00:39:22,891
You tell Bull about the
Hayden Watkins thing yet?

1075
00:39:22,928 --> 00:39:26,428
Don't want to bother the boss
with my little problems.

1076
00:39:26,465 --> 00:39:28,665
It's not little, Benny.

1077
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:30,100
ERIN: (laughs)
It's great.

1078
00:39:30,135 --> 00:39:31,665
I'm so happy.

1079
00:39:31,703 --> 00:39:33,513
Well, good.
You deserve it.

1080
00:39:33,539 --> 00:39:35,739
So I get my $19,000 back?

1081
00:39:35,774 --> 00:39:38,014
And add a zero
for punitive damages.

1082
00:39:38,043 --> 00:39:39,113
(chuckles)

1083
00:39:39,144 --> 00:39:40,154
That's amazing.

1084
00:39:40,178 --> 00:39:41,608
Spend some of it on yourself.

1085
00:39:41,647 --> 00:39:42,747
And my mom.

1086
00:39:42,781 --> 00:39:43,881
And your mom.

1087
00:39:43,915 --> 00:39:46,515
But you should go out
and get what you really want.

1088
00:39:47,619 --> 00:39:49,559
Buy yourself a house.

1089
00:39:49,588 --> 00:39:52,058
Cut down on that hour-long
commute to school.

1090
00:39:52,090 --> 00:39:53,160
(laughs)

1091
00:39:54,660 --> 00:39:56,060
BENNY:
By the way,

1092
00:39:56,094 --> 00:39:58,934
you never told me
how you got Sofia to cooperate.

1093
00:39:58,964 --> 00:40:01,004
Easy. She's transactional
by nature.

1094
00:40:01,032 --> 00:40:02,502
Just had to come up
with the right offer.

1095
00:40:02,534 --> 00:40:04,604
Luckily,
I needed a new car.

1096
00:40:04,636 --> 00:40:05,696
Hey.
Hey.

1097
00:40:05,737 --> 00:40:07,167
Enjoy it.

1098
00:40:07,205 --> 00:40:08,505
Thanks.

1099
00:40:08,540 --> 00:40:10,540
Come on, I'll give you
a lift home.

1100
00:40:12,077 --> 00:40:14,077
*

1101
00:40:25,090 --> 00:40:28,690
You want to tell me
what's going on with you?

1102
00:40:28,727 --> 00:40:29,957
It's nothing.

1103
00:40:29,995 --> 00:40:32,855
Well, it... It's this thing
with my co-op,

1104
00:40:32,898 --> 00:40:36,838
and it's not even
worth getting into.

1105
00:40:36,868 --> 00:40:40,068
So you'll tell me
when you're ready.

1106
00:40:40,105 --> 00:40:43,205
It's nothing.

1107
00:40:43,241 --> 00:40:45,141
(sighs)

1108
00:40:45,176 --> 00:40:46,746
Benny.

1109
00:40:46,778 --> 00:40:48,208
Yeah.

1110
00:40:48,246 --> 00:40:50,446
Get it together.

1111
00:40:52,918 --> 00:40:55,218
* And I say hey, hey, hey, hey

1112
00:40:55,253 --> 00:40:56,693
* Living like we're renegades

1113
00:40:56,722 --> 00:40:58,222
(sighs)

1114
00:40:58,256 --> 00:41:00,486
* Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

1115
00:41:00,526 --> 00:41:02,986
* Living like we're renegades

1116
00:41:03,028 --> 00:41:03,928
* Renegades...

1117
00:41:03,962 --> 00:41:07,202
A wise man told me
to go after what I want.

1118
00:41:07,232 --> 00:41:09,642
So here I am.

1119
00:41:09,668 --> 00:41:11,638
* Renegades.
