00:01:11,548 --> 00:01:12,597
Bitch.
3
00:01:12,622 --> 00:01:14,281
Fucking bitch.
4
00:01:14,328 --> 00:01:15,456
I know where you live.
5
00:01:15,481 --> 00:01:17,480
I know where your family...
6
00:01:17,668 --> 00:01:19,667
This is for Maia Rindell.
7
00:01:19,692 --> 00:01:21,991
I'm gonna rape you and your dyke girl...
8
00:01:23,096 --> 00:01:24,717
Hi. Good morning.
9
00:01:25,006 --> 00:01:27,407
And fuck you. You stole my money.
10
00:01:27,408 --> 00:01:29,287
I just want you to hurt like I do.
11
00:01:37,998 --> 00:01:40,210
Hi, it's my first day here.
12
00:01:40,235 --> 00:01:43,234
And, uh, I'm not too sure where to g...
13
00:01:51,627 --> 00:01:53,533
_
14
00:01:57,408 --> 00:01:59,587
- Maia Rindell?
- Yes!
15
00:01:59,868 --> 00:02:01,133
You okay?
16
00:02:01,158 --> 00:02:03,002
Yes! Just, um...
17
00:02:03,708 --> 00:02:05,111
Hi.
18
00:02:05,368 --> 00:02:06,667
Julius Cain.
19
00:02:06,668 --> 00:02:08,143
I'm the managing partner here.
20
00:02:08,168 --> 00:02:09,957
Let me show you to your desk.
21
00:02:09,982 --> 00:02:12,901
We have 55 associates
and 40 work stations,
22
00:02:12,926 --> 00:02:15,374
so we employ a hot desk system.
23
00:02:15,399 --> 00:02:18,772
Occupy any empty chair
in the communal area,
24
00:02:18,797 --> 00:02:21,046
but keep your laptop with you
because you might be returning
25
00:02:21,071 --> 00:02:22,740
to a different space when you come back.
26
00:02:22,765 --> 00:02:23,852
Go ahead.
27
00:02:25,063 --> 00:02:26,071
Good.
28
00:02:26,096 --> 00:02:29,055
At 10:00, I'm gonna need
you at the SWSMU offices,
29
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,452
so meet me at reception in 20 minutes.
30
00:02:31,477 --> 00:02:33,860
- The what?
- SWSMU.
31
00:02:33,885 --> 00:02:35,634
One of our union contracts.
32
00:02:35,659 --> 00:02:37,353
Once a month, we offer their members
33
00:02:37,378 --> 00:02:39,618
pro bono service as
part of our retainer.
34
00:02:39,643 --> 00:02:40,969
20 minutes.
35
00:02:49,581 --> 00:02:51,464
_
36
00:02:55,747 --> 00:02:57,622
Did you hear that, Diane?
37
00:02:58,068 --> 00:03:00,357
I... yes. I just can't believe it.
38
00:03:00,382 --> 00:03:02,974
They're withholding my
capital contribution?
39
00:03:02,999 --> 00:03:04,708
They say they have
to review your tenure.
40
00:03:04,733 --> 00:03:07,083
What tenure?! I was a name partner.
41
00:03:07,108 --> 00:03:08,477
I created that firm.
42
00:03:08,841 --> 00:03:11,404
- It's my money.
- I'm sorry, Diane.
43
00:03:12,958 --> 00:03:14,974
Do I have any reserves?
44
00:03:15,208 --> 00:03:17,578
If you sell your apartment.
45
00:03:19,408 --> 00:03:21,247
I can't do that.
46
00:03:21,367 --> 00:03:23,537
Well, you can always
talk to your new partners,
47
00:03:23,538 --> 00:03:25,997
and see if they'll offer you a loan.
48
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,167
Ah, we tried to call you at home.
49
00:03:47,549 --> 00:03:50,010
- Because?
- We're moving you down the hall.
50
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,859
There's a new partner.
51
00:03:52,758 --> 00:03:54,597
We have to make room.
52
00:03:54,622 --> 00:03:55,982
Diane?
53
00:03:56,007 --> 00:03:57,189
Yep.
54
00:03:58,848 --> 00:04:01,938
See, it's not so bad.
55
00:04:02,208 --> 00:04:04,024
Home sweet home.
56
00:04:06,078 --> 00:04:09,785
Oh, and I'm gonna need you
at the SWSMU this morning.
57
00:04:10,145 --> 00:04:12,035
Why? I did it last month.
58
00:04:12,060 --> 00:04:15,606
Yes, and you were so good at it, too.
59
00:04:20,414 --> 00:04:21,976
Good morning.
60
00:04:22,001 --> 00:04:23,538
Sharise.
61
00:04:26,054 --> 00:04:27,385
Come on, come get this.
62
00:04:27,410 --> 00:04:28,884
Come get this. Come get this!
63
00:04:30,538 --> 00:04:31,963
How that college search coming?
64
00:04:31,988 --> 00:04:33,947
Ah, all-consuming. Twins, you know.
65
00:04:33,972 --> 00:04:35,580
Yeah, I hear you.
66
00:04:35,869 --> 00:04:37,683
Any word on the Kendall offer?
67
00:04:37,708 --> 00:04:39,117
They called this morning.
68
00:04:39,118 --> 00:04:40,888
Who? David Lee?
69
00:04:40,913 --> 00:04:42,131
Yes, sir.
70
00:04:43,756 --> 00:04:45,865
We're getting our six mill.
71
00:04:46,458 --> 00:04:47,685
Diane here yet?
72
00:04:47,710 --> 00:04:49,568
Yeah, she's in with Barbara.
73
00:04:49,828 --> 00:04:51,294
She is, huh?
74
00:04:54,410 --> 00:04:57,496
I heard you speak at an ABA
conference a few years ago.
75
00:04:57,521 --> 00:05:00,668
- Oh, yes. On racial hiring?
- That's right.
76
00:05:02,077 --> 00:05:04,713
Oh, well, I hope I didn't
embarrass myself too much.
77
00:05:04,738 --> 00:05:06,487
Hmm, not too much.
78
00:05:11,366 --> 00:05:12,889
Diane Lockhart.
79
00:05:13,168 --> 00:05:14,367
I feel like we acquired
80
00:05:14,368 --> 00:05:15,907
our very own Jimmy Butler right here.
81
00:05:15,932 --> 00:05:18,862
- Adrian, how are you?
- Good, good.
82
00:05:18,887 --> 00:05:20,512
A little gift for you.
83
00:05:20,537 --> 00:05:21,981
Spring Arbor Lake Wine,
84
00:05:22,006 --> 00:05:24,372
my very own label, 2006. Mwah.
85
00:05:24,397 --> 00:05:25,556
You have a winery?
86
00:05:25,581 --> 00:05:28,145
Ah, just a row of vines,
that's all. Sit, sit.
87
00:05:29,008 --> 00:05:31,094
So how's everything going with you two?
88
00:05:31,119 --> 00:05:32,633
- Barbara give you the rundown?
- She did.
89
00:05:32,658 --> 00:05:34,149
Are you two playing nice?
90
00:05:34,174 --> 00:05:36,305
- We are, Adrian.
- Good.
91
00:05:36,330 --> 00:05:38,644
Oh, by the way, just
a housekeeping matter,
92
00:05:38,669 --> 00:05:42,402
but we'll need your capital
contribution by next week.
93
00:05:43,031 --> 00:05:44,840
Oh, yes, of course.
94
00:05:44,865 --> 00:05:46,571
Um, just so you know,
95
00:05:46,596 --> 00:05:49,086
my old firm is being a bit intransigent.
96
00:05:49,111 --> 00:05:50,840
Yeah, David Lee.
97
00:05:50,865 --> 00:05:53,561
- Wonderful guy.
- So, um,
98
00:05:53,883 --> 00:05:55,796
if you don't mind being a bit patient.
99
00:05:55,821 --> 00:05:56,901
Of course.
100
00:05:56,902 --> 00:05:58,772
But listen, I'll need you
in the 11:00 a.m. meeting
101
00:05:58,797 --> 00:06:01,178
to pitch cases to our
litigation financiers.
102
00:06:01,203 --> 00:06:02,562
Right.
103
00:06:02,587 --> 00:06:04,968
- Well, good. I'll see you there.
- You will.
104
00:06:06,668 --> 00:06:07,788
Diane.
105
00:06:08,540 --> 00:06:10,419
- Welcome.
- Thank you.
106
00:06:10,444 --> 00:06:11,668
Hmm.
107
00:06:17,402 --> 00:06:19,596
And how patient are we to be?
108
00:06:19,621 --> 00:06:21,208
Let's give her two weeks.
109
00:06:24,870 --> 00:06:27,792
- Hello?
- Just plugging in your computer.
110
00:06:28,370 --> 00:06:30,224
Are you from Lockhart, Deckler?
111
00:06:30,249 --> 00:06:31,919
Lee, Lyman, Deckler, Gussman...
112
00:06:31,944 --> 00:06:33,380
Well, that didn't take them very long.
113
00:06:33,405 --> 00:06:35,341
I know. Bunch of assholes.
114
00:06:35,366 --> 00:06:37,388
- Marissa?
- Yeah, hey.
115
00:06:37,413 --> 00:06:38,655
Want me to set up anything else?
116
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,600
- No, I can do it.
- No, let me.
117
00:06:40,625 --> 00:06:41,717
If I get back too quick,
118
00:06:41,742 --> 00:06:43,694
they'll just send me
out on another errand.
119
00:06:43,719 --> 00:06:45,530
Here, I'll hang these.
120
00:06:45,944 --> 00:06:47,237
When Alicia hired me,
121
00:06:47,262 --> 00:06:49,303
I was supposed to be involved
in cases and everything,
122
00:06:49,328 --> 00:06:51,902
but it's been all moving
boxes since she left.
123
00:06:52,347 --> 00:06:53,668
Still want this?
124
00:06:54,637 --> 00:06:56,191
Definitely.
125
00:06:56,593 --> 00:06:59,496
And, uh, where do you want these?
126
00:06:59,887 --> 00:07:02,540
- What are those?
- African masks.
127
00:07:02,825 --> 00:07:04,989
Well, I can see that.
Where are they from?
128
00:07:05,014 --> 00:07:06,481
Your office.
129
00:07:06,766 --> 00:07:08,204
No.
130
00:07:09,347 --> 00:07:11,562
David Lee. Very funny.
131
00:07:11,587 --> 00:07:14,945
By the way, I know you still
need an assistant, Diane.
132
00:07:15,578 --> 00:07:17,554
- Hello.
- Uh, this is Marissa,
133
00:07:17,579 --> 00:07:18,778
from my old firm.
134
00:07:18,803 --> 00:07:21,125
Hi. Just dropping stuff off.
135
00:07:23,874 --> 00:07:25,756
Well, I have a few
people coming in today
136
00:07:25,781 --> 00:07:27,093
for possible assistants.
137
00:07:27,118 --> 00:07:28,655
I'll send them by.
138
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:29,998
Thank you.
139
00:07:33,761 --> 00:07:35,620
Okay, I don't want to
sound self-serving here,
140
00:07:35,652 --> 00:07:38,018
but I think it's a smart
move for you to hire me.
141
00:07:38,308 --> 00:07:40,112
Oh, good to know. Thank you.
142
00:07:40,137 --> 00:07:41,761
No, seriously. You need an assistant.
143
00:07:41,786 --> 00:07:43,245
I can do whatever you want around here,
144
00:07:43,270 --> 00:07:45,177
and I'm not that expensive.
What are you paying?
145
00:07:45,202 --> 00:07:47,513
Why don't you just leave
your résumé, Marissa?
146
00:07:47,538 --> 00:07:49,640
I don't have one. I'm much
better in person, anyway.
147
00:07:49,665 --> 00:07:51,546
Look, just hire me for one day,
148
00:07:51,571 --> 00:07:52,882
just until you get someone better.
149
00:07:52,907 --> 00:07:54,987
And I promise you won't
get someone better.
150
00:07:56,610 --> 00:07:58,736
You limit your pro bono consultations
151
00:07:58,761 --> 00:08:00,303
to 20 minutes each.
152
00:08:00,328 --> 00:08:03,375
If their legal issues require
more time, go to Lucca.
153
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,364
She will sign off on more time.
154
00:08:05,404 --> 00:08:06,974
Remember, you're only here
155
00:08:06,999 --> 00:08:09,708
to offer legal advice, not legal work.
156
00:08:09,787 --> 00:08:11,138
Don't get tied down.
157
00:08:11,163 --> 00:08:12,906
Move people on into other
158
00:08:12,907 --> 00:08:14,661
legal resources when you can:
159
00:08:14,686 --> 00:08:16,917
Prairie State or Legal Assistance.
160
00:08:16,942 --> 00:08:19,973
You're the "door close"
button in the elevator.
161
00:08:20,091 --> 00:08:22,841
Comforting, but not
necessarily effective.
162
00:08:22,866 --> 00:08:24,286
Here we go.
163
00:08:25,321 --> 00:08:27,950
Okay, members, listen up, listen up.
164
00:08:27,975 --> 00:08:30,902
Remember these lawyers are
here as union advocates,
165
00:08:30,927 --> 00:08:33,401
so please limit your
questions to workplace matters.
166
00:08:33,426 --> 00:08:35,925
Only workplace matters.
167
00:08:35,950 --> 00:08:39,464
Okay, who is here on their work
break, please raise your hand.
168
00:08:39,489 --> 00:08:40,567
Oh, come on.
169
00:08:40,568 --> 00:08:42,687
Donny, I know it's your
day off. Get your hand down.
170
00:08:42,712 --> 00:08:45,397
Only people on their lunch break.
171
00:08:45,422 --> 00:08:46,766
Come on, you're only screwing over
172
00:08:46,767 --> 00:08:48,606
your union brother and sister.
173
00:08:48,631 --> 00:08:49,695
Good.
174
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,904
Those on lunch break,
come on up to the stage.
175
00:08:51,988 --> 00:08:54,947
Line up for each desk. Let's go.
176
00:08:57,870 --> 00:08:59,947
You're seriously telling me
I have to go to someone else
177
00:08:59,948 --> 00:09:01,165
on my lunch break?
178
00:09:01,190 --> 00:09:02,939
The thing is, ma'am,
we're not really here
179
00:09:02,964 --> 00:09:04,987
to help with family law issues,
180
00:09:05,012 --> 00:09:06,752
but, uh, I can refer you to...
181
00:09:06,777 --> 00:09:08,696
He's not paying child support!
182
00:09:08,721 --> 00:09:11,205
How am I supposed to make ends
meet if he won't pay child support?
183
00:09:11,230 --> 00:09:13,605
I know, I'm sorry. It's just...
184
00:09:14,332 --> 00:09:15,987
Well, I'm not really
supposed to help with...
185
00:09:15,988 --> 00:09:17,857
Then why are you here?
186
00:09:18,076 --> 00:09:20,543
If you can't help, why are you here?
187
00:09:24,344 --> 00:09:25,817
I need help.
188
00:09:25,818 --> 00:09:27,158
Hello.
189
00:09:42,684 --> 00:09:44,357
Oh, come on.
190
00:09:50,092 --> 00:09:51,841
I'm gonna help you out here.
191
00:09:51,866 --> 00:09:53,405
Thank you.
192
00:09:53,406 --> 00:09:56,350
Sir, would you like to come to my desk?
193
00:09:56,375 --> 00:09:58,294
No, I'm good here.
194
00:09:58,921 --> 00:10:01,632
I'm a third-year associate.
She just passed the bar.
195
00:10:01,657 --> 00:10:02,897
That's okay.
196
00:10:02,922 --> 00:10:04,718
I'm sticking.
197
00:10:08,656 --> 00:10:09,910
Next?
198
00:10:11,804 --> 00:10:15,254
I, I just can't survive on $400 a week.
199
00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:16,568
I can't pay for my rent.
200
00:10:16,593 --> 00:10:18,339
I can't pay for my ex-wife.
201
00:10:18,364 --> 00:10:20,269
And they're not adjusting
it for after taxes.
202
00:10:20,285 --> 00:10:21,972
They're just taking
it right off the top.
203
00:10:21,997 --> 00:10:23,745
I-I'm sorry, I don't understand.
204
00:10:23,770 --> 00:10:26,549
You're... you're being paid $400 a week?
205
00:10:26,574 --> 00:10:27,793
Yeah.
206
00:10:27,818 --> 00:10:29,204
Wait, no.
207
00:10:29,205 --> 00:10:31,218
And my rent is twice that. Okay?
208
00:10:31,243 --> 00:10:33,414
- Do you need to get that?
- No.
209
00:10:33,415 --> 00:10:35,374
- Uh, no. It does that.
- _
210
00:10:35,577 --> 00:10:36,994
Yeah, mine, too.
211
00:10:36,995 --> 00:10:38,284
You know, I used to get some good news,
212
00:10:38,285 --> 00:10:39,893
but now I feel like it's all bad.
213
00:10:39,918 --> 00:10:42,580
I don't even like answering it nowadays.
214
00:10:43,785 --> 00:10:45,763
So, um, I'm sorry,
215
00:10:45,788 --> 00:10:47,411
I'm, I'm not too sure
216
00:10:47,436 --> 00:10:49,685
how they were able to lower your salary.
217
00:10:49,710 --> 00:10:51,793
Not lower. Garnish.
218
00:10:51,818 --> 00:10:54,192
They're saying that I
stole 400 running shoes.
219
00:10:54,217 --> 00:10:55,918
- What? 400 running shoes?
- Yeah.
220
00:10:55,943 --> 00:10:58,605
And they say that's
$70,000, but that's retail,
221
00:10:58,630 --> 00:11:00,942
and they don't pay retail.
They just pay wholesale,
222
00:11:00,967 --> 00:11:03,192
- so it should be half that.
- Wait, I'm sorry.
223
00:11:03,217 --> 00:11:05,410
Could-could you start again?
224
00:11:05,435 --> 00:11:06,864
Okay.
225
00:11:07,029 --> 00:11:08,930
- BMI...
- Mm-hmm.
226
00:11:09,315 --> 00:11:12,199
... my store says that
I stole 400 running shoes.
227
00:11:12,224 --> 00:11:13,564
And did you?
228
00:11:13,589 --> 00:11:16,534
No, I've never stolen
anything in my entire life.
229
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,085
But they're garnishing my
wages for the retail amount,
230
00:11:19,110 --> 00:11:21,249
and it should be the wholesale amount.
231
00:11:21,387 --> 00:11:23,220
That's double what I should pay!
232
00:11:23,245 --> 00:11:24,586
But if you didn't steal anything,
233
00:11:24,611 --> 00:11:26,773
why are you letting them
garnish your wages at all?
234
00:11:26,798 --> 00:11:28,187
Because I signed a confession.
235
00:11:29,858 --> 00:11:31,807
I don't understand. Why did he confess?
236
00:11:31,832 --> 00:11:33,078
They pressured him to.
237
00:11:33,103 --> 00:11:35,640
They threatened to
fire him if he didn't.
238
00:11:35,665 --> 00:11:37,244
He just wants them to charge him
239
00:11:37,245 --> 00:11:39,476
the wholesale amount and
not the retail amount.
240
00:11:39,501 --> 00:11:41,550
And he wants to go to
arbitration for that?
241
00:11:41,575 --> 00:11:44,421
Well, his contract requires
that he go to arbitration.
242
00:11:44,446 --> 00:11:46,855
But he wants me to represent him.
243
00:11:46,918 --> 00:11:48,377
I just need you to sign me off
244
00:11:48,402 --> 00:11:50,185
on two more hours work.
245
00:11:51,007 --> 00:11:52,956
You know this is just pro bono?
246
00:11:52,981 --> 00:11:54,725
Right? It's a goodwill gesture.
247
00:11:54,750 --> 00:11:57,164
- We're not here to right a wrong.
- No, I know, but...
248
00:11:57,428 --> 00:11:59,140
it's only two hours work.
249
00:11:59,165 --> 00:12:00,570
I want to do it.
250
00:12:00,595 --> 00:12:02,254
When's the arbitration?
251
00:12:02,279 --> 00:12:03,968
This afternoon.
252
00:12:04,179 --> 00:12:05,614
Okay.
253
00:12:05,615 --> 00:12:07,165
Good luck.
254
00:12:07,681 --> 00:12:09,595
Everything good with you?
255
00:12:11,952 --> 00:12:13,251
Yeah.
256
00:12:14,979 --> 00:12:18,398
Yeah, for the first
time in a while... yes.
257
00:12:18,618 --> 00:12:21,920
It's good when you can focus
on someone else's problem.
258
00:12:26,043 --> 00:12:28,963
First place I've been
I wasn't recognized.
259
00:12:36,448 --> 00:12:39,078
This is our highest priority case.
260
00:12:39,103 --> 00:12:41,496
It's a hanging in a
jail cell... Holly Orlin.
261
00:12:41,521 --> 00:12:44,613
You'll find a Chicago
Tribune article on top there.
262
00:12:45,113 --> 00:12:47,074
This is the worst Cook County jail abuse
263
00:12:47,075 --> 00:12:49,244
I have seen in years.
264
00:12:49,245 --> 00:12:50,664
So, we're suing for $12 million,
265
00:12:50,665 --> 00:12:52,731
but we do expect
settlement before trial.
266
00:12:52,756 --> 00:12:54,534
- Any videotape?
- No.
267
00:12:54,535 --> 00:12:56,373
But we have a very sympathetic family
268
00:12:56,398 --> 00:12:58,244
and a grieving widower.
269
00:12:58,245 --> 00:13:01,615
So, all we need of your
financing is $300 thousand.
270
00:13:01,670 --> 00:13:03,428
- Mm-mm.
- No. Thanks, though.
271
00:13:03,453 --> 00:13:07,342
Our algorithm is going
cool on police suits.
272
00:13:07,764 --> 00:13:09,284
You sure about that?
273
00:13:09,285 --> 00:13:11,277
Mm-hmm. What else?
274
00:13:11,302 --> 00:13:13,878
Well, I think that, uh,
Diane, our newest partner...
275
00:13:13,974 --> 00:13:16,204
she just joined us from
Lockhart, Deckler & Gussman...
276
00:13:16,205 --> 00:13:17,441
can speak to a new case.
277
00:13:17,466 --> 00:13:20,175
Uh, we've been looking
into parole abuses.
278
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,453
Some parolees have been rejected
279
00:13:22,478 --> 00:13:24,279
for, uh, punitive reasons.
280
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:25,527
Hmm.
281
00:13:25,552 --> 00:13:28,851
I think my partner worries
there's no money there.
282
00:13:28,898 --> 00:13:30,965
That depends on how
vulnerable the State feels.
283
00:13:30,990 --> 00:13:33,191
No. It depends on the trend.
284
00:13:33,216 --> 00:13:34,730
The trend is against you.
285
00:13:34,755 --> 00:13:38,394
Look, now we understand you have
your little algebraic spells,
286
00:13:38,419 --> 00:13:39,941
but we understand the system.
287
00:13:39,966 --> 00:13:42,635
And you'll get ten
percent of our earnings.
288
00:13:43,245 --> 00:13:45,955
Why don't you let us
help you make some money?
289
00:13:45,980 --> 00:13:47,736
What else have you got?
290
00:13:48,818 --> 00:13:50,039
- Malpractice?
- Mm-hmm.
291
00:13:50,064 --> 00:13:52,045
It's a malpractice suit.
292
00:13:54,716 --> 00:13:56,990
- Uh, excuse me.
- Yeah.
293
00:13:57,015 --> 00:13:59,220
- Second page.
- What's wrong?
294
00:13:59,245 --> 00:14:01,574
Someone here to see you. Lenore Rindell.
295
00:14:02,215 --> 00:14:03,731
- Where?
- In your office.
296
00:14:03,756 --> 00:14:05,668
You want me to get rid of her?
297
00:14:10,458 --> 00:14:12,379
What do you need, Lenore?
298
00:14:13,039 --> 00:14:15,254
- I-I came to see Maia.
- She's out.
299
00:14:15,279 --> 00:14:18,168
She's not talking to me,
she's not answering my calls.
300
00:14:18,193 --> 00:14:20,164
My guess is her lawyer told her not to.
301
00:14:20,165 --> 00:14:22,769
Can you talk to her, Diane? Please.
302
00:14:24,129 --> 00:14:25,401
No.
303
00:14:26,565 --> 00:14:27,596
Why?
304
00:14:27,621 --> 00:14:29,495
I don't know what bubble
you're living in, Lenore,
305
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:30,729
but you do see my office here?
306
00:14:30,754 --> 00:14:32,324
You do see that I am not retired,
307
00:14:32,325 --> 00:14:33,324
that I am still working.
308
00:14:33,325 --> 00:14:34,954
This wasn't us. This was Jax.
309
00:14:34,979 --> 00:14:36,683
This is his Ponzi scheme, not ours...
310
00:14:36,708 --> 00:14:38,966
You want to have an honest
conversation here, then let's have it.
311
00:14:38,991 --> 00:14:41,052
I came to you last week
and asked for my money back,
312
00:14:41,077 --> 00:14:42,888
so that I could buy my dream
house, and what did you say?
313
00:14:42,913 --> 00:14:44,083
- We didn't...
- No, I want to hear you say it.
314
00:14:44,108 --> 00:14:45,826
- What did you say?
- This wasn't us.
315
00:14:45,851 --> 00:14:48,226
You said keep it in your
account, and borrow on it.
316
00:14:48,251 --> 00:14:50,070
I could've had my money back.
317
00:14:50,095 --> 00:14:51,202
I...
318
00:14:52,932 --> 00:14:55,102
I think it's a good idea that you go.
319
00:14:57,635 --> 00:15:00,165
Diane, look at me.
320
00:15:01,885 --> 00:15:03,563
I'm innocent.
321
00:15:03,588 --> 00:15:05,627
Henry's innocent.
322
00:15:05,925 --> 00:15:07,634
You are a defense lawyer.
323
00:15:07,635 --> 00:15:09,908
Why can't you extend
us the same courtesy
324
00:15:09,933 --> 00:15:12,149
you do your other clients?
325
00:15:13,135 --> 00:15:14,983
We are wrongly accused.
326
00:15:15,008 --> 00:15:16,905
Just because the Feds say it
327
00:15:16,930 --> 00:15:18,930
doesn't make it true.
328
00:15:22,817 --> 00:15:25,277
I'll tell Maia that you dropped by.
329
00:15:34,871 --> 00:15:37,075
I know I shouldn't ask this, but...
330
00:15:37,100 --> 00:15:39,262
Henry needs your help.
331
00:15:40,245 --> 00:15:43,044
He's in jail and no one will visit him.
332
00:15:45,045 --> 00:15:47,384
His lawyer's advising
him to plead guilty,
333
00:15:47,385 --> 00:15:49,425
but I don't think he should.
334
00:15:50,956 --> 00:15:53,608
He's your oldest friend, Diane.
335
00:15:54,303 --> 00:15:56,505
Will you talk to him?
336
00:16:06,291 --> 00:16:07,897
So it's like a trial?
337
00:16:07,922 --> 00:16:10,171
Yes, just answer honestly.
338
00:16:10,196 --> 00:16:11,905
That's all you have to do.
339
00:16:11,930 --> 00:16:13,469
And if I lose?
340
00:16:13,715 --> 00:16:15,854
Well, there's no appeal, so...
341
00:16:15,879 --> 00:16:17,948
if you lose, you lose.
342
00:16:19,121 --> 00:16:20,813
Frank Gwinn.
343
00:16:21,145 --> 00:16:22,387
Here.
344
00:16:23,302 --> 00:16:24,899
Go ahead. You're the lawyer?
345
00:16:24,924 --> 00:16:27,113
Uh, yes, from Reddick, Boseman &...
346
00:16:27,138 --> 00:16:28,941
- Good, I'm the arbiter.
- ... Kolstad...
347
00:16:28,976 --> 00:16:30,145
Let's hear it.
348
00:16:30,170 --> 00:16:31,669
And this is Benji Diyardian
349
00:16:31,694 --> 00:16:33,818
from BMI's loss-prevention department.
350
00:16:33,843 --> 00:16:35,616
He questioned me.
351
00:16:35,671 --> 00:16:38,335
- Let's hear it.
- I...
352
00:16:40,518 --> 00:16:42,387
Good afternoon.
353
00:16:42,982 --> 00:16:45,181
Frank's employer, BMI,
354
00:16:45,206 --> 00:16:48,945
a sporting good store
with $12 billion in assets
355
00:16:48,970 --> 00:16:50,798
and franchises throughout the country...
356
00:16:50,823 --> 00:16:52,492
Yeah, I-I don't need that.
357
00:16:53,306 --> 00:16:55,131
Right. Um...
358
00:16:55,303 --> 00:16:58,094
They have accused my client of stealing
359
00:16:58,095 --> 00:17:00,256
400 running shoes from their back-stock.
360
00:17:00,281 --> 00:17:02,506
- 417.
- Objection.
361
00:17:03,839 --> 00:17:05,877
Okay, um,
362
00:17:05,903 --> 00:17:08,150
- and he didn't do it, right?
- Uh, that is correct, sir.
363
00:17:08,175 --> 00:17:10,004
He did not do it.
364
00:17:10,303 --> 00:17:11,682
What do you need, ma'am?
365
00:17:11,707 --> 00:17:14,119
I'm here as an observer for the union.
366
00:17:14,675 --> 00:17:15,832
Why?
367
00:17:15,857 --> 00:17:18,160
We just want to make
sure everything's fair.
368
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,390
Okay, keep going, miss.
369
00:17:25,595 --> 00:17:28,160
My client did not steal any shoes.
370
00:17:28,185 --> 00:17:30,854
He has no record and
yet the company, BMI,
371
00:17:30,901 --> 00:17:33,312
have chosen to garnish
his salary by almost 40%.
372
00:17:33,337 --> 00:17:35,051
We didn't garnish
anything, he confessed.
373
00:17:35,076 --> 00:17:37,278
No, excuse me, sir,
you'll have your chance.
374
00:17:37,303 --> 00:17:40,375
Um, this is a massive,
375
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,727
$12 billion company
376
00:17:42,752 --> 00:17:44,164
stealing half my client's pay.
377
00:17:44,189 --> 00:17:46,212
Stealing, really? We have
his confession on the record.
378
00:17:46,237 --> 00:17:47,580
No, he was forced to confess.
379
00:17:47,605 --> 00:17:49,931
- He was told if he did not confess...
- He was not told anything.
380
00:17:49,956 --> 00:17:52,696
If he did not confess,
then he would be fired.
381
00:17:52,721 --> 00:17:54,823
Frank, how long did
this man question you?
382
00:17:54,848 --> 00:17:56,776
- Seven hours.
- Without break.
383
00:17:56,801 --> 00:17:58,190
He was told he could not leave the room.
384
00:17:58,215 --> 00:17:59,932
Only because he's an employee
and he was on the clock.
385
00:17:59,957 --> 00:18:01,327
Let me see the confession.
386
00:18:02,896 --> 00:18:05,400
Would the union rep like to see it, too?
387
00:18:05,425 --> 00:18:07,356
Uh, I would, thank you.
388
00:18:08,764 --> 00:18:10,778
Mr. Arbiter, as you read
that, please remember
389
00:18:10,803 --> 00:18:12,781
that he was forced to
sign that confession.
390
00:18:12,806 --> 00:18:15,480
I never forced anyone.
This is the Friedman method.
391
00:18:15,776 --> 00:18:18,159
- I never diverged once from it at all.
- The what?
392
00:18:18,184 --> 00:18:20,386
The Friedman method, it's
a process of questioning
393
00:18:20,411 --> 00:18:22,415
I was trained and certified in.
394
00:18:24,505 --> 00:18:25,942
Sir,
395
00:18:26,624 --> 00:18:29,044
is this your signature?
396
00:18:29,045 --> 00:18:30,536
Yes.
397
00:18:30,561 --> 00:18:33,411
Then in exercise of powers
conferred under Clause 25
398
00:18:33,436 --> 00:18:35,208
of the agreement entered
into between the parties,
399
00:18:35,233 --> 00:18:37,891
judgment is made in
favor of the respondent.
400
00:18:38,885 --> 00:18:40,766
Wait, w-what? What, that's it?
401
00:18:40,791 --> 00:18:42,398
Thank you, I'll see
the next arbitration.
402
00:18:42,423 --> 00:18:45,595
- But he didn't do it!
- I'll see the next arbitration.
403
00:18:49,681 --> 00:18:51,611
False imprisonment.
404
00:18:52,103 --> 00:18:56,190
Mr. Arbiter, we ask
that the arbitration...
405
00:18:56,215 --> 00:18:57,627
be reopened...
406
00:18:57,652 --> 00:19:00,821
based on the matter
of false imprisonment.
407
00:19:01,095 --> 00:19:03,002
- Oh, come on...
- My client was held
408
00:19:03,027 --> 00:19:04,744
against his will for seven hours,
409
00:19:04,769 --> 00:19:08,314
in direct contravention
of... everything.
410
00:19:09,252 --> 00:19:11,239
The issue of false
imprisonment is irrelevant.
411
00:19:11,264 --> 00:19:14,147
Judgment is again made in
favor of the respondent.
412
00:19:14,172 --> 00:19:16,092
That's not your decision to make, sir.
413
00:19:16,117 --> 00:19:17,706
Excuse me?
414
00:19:17,731 --> 00:19:20,341
The arbitration agreement
with Ms. Rindell's client
415
00:19:20,366 --> 00:19:21,981
does not cover tort claims.
416
00:19:22,006 --> 00:19:24,546
And false imprisonment is a tort claim.
417
00:19:26,395 --> 00:19:29,148
- Then we are stalemated.
- No, we're not.
418
00:19:29,173 --> 00:19:32,616
- And why is that?
- Because we'll see you in court.
419
00:20:02,293 --> 00:20:03,963
Henry.
420
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,619
How are you?
421
00:20:14,336 --> 00:20:17,579
Rupert tells me I should
accept a guilty plea.
422
00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:19,579
20 years.
423
00:20:20,501 --> 00:20:22,040
What do you think?
424
00:20:22,315 --> 00:20:24,900
I think this is bad, Hank.
425
00:20:27,540 --> 00:20:28,999
Yeah, you and I, Diane,
426
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,369
we always told each other the truth.
427
00:20:31,370 --> 00:20:34,039
No matter where... in college, after,
428
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,598
before Lenore.
429
00:20:35,623 --> 00:20:37,385
And I'm telling you the truth now.
430
00:20:37,410 --> 00:20:40,169
I did not do this.
431
00:20:42,067 --> 00:20:44,450
Hank, what am I
supposed to do with that?
432
00:20:44,475 --> 00:20:47,278
I am bankrupted, completely.
433
00:20:48,870 --> 00:20:51,685
Two months ago, I hired
a forensics accountant
434
00:20:51,710 --> 00:20:54,209
to look into Jax's trades.
435
00:20:54,210 --> 00:20:56,039
There was $83 million missing.
436
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,209
The accountant found
Jax had moved the money
437
00:20:58,210 --> 00:21:00,209
into his private account.
438
00:21:00,210 --> 00:21:02,399
I tried to confront
him, but before I could,
439
00:21:02,487 --> 00:21:05,477
Jax went to the Feds to turn me in.
440
00:21:07,410 --> 00:21:10,022
You should be telling this
to your lawyer, not to me.
441
00:21:10,047 --> 00:21:11,899
I did, but Rupert
said it doesn't matter.
442
00:21:11,924 --> 00:21:14,000
There are too many bad facts.
443
00:21:17,250 --> 00:21:18,762
Okay.
444
00:21:21,105 --> 00:21:22,862
Let me look into another lawyer.
445
00:21:22,887 --> 00:21:25,119
- Why not you?
- No.
446
00:21:25,120 --> 00:21:27,410
You need someone objective.
447
00:21:31,709 --> 00:21:33,114
How's Maia?
448
00:21:33,139 --> 00:21:35,079
- She's doing well.
- Good.
449
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:36,651
She's on a case.
450
00:21:39,485 --> 00:21:41,565
She's gonna blow us all away.
451
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,932
Did she see her mom?
452
00:21:47,971 --> 00:21:49,174
No.
453
00:21:49,821 --> 00:21:52,425
I think it's best that she stay away
454
00:21:52,450 --> 00:21:55,039
until all this gets straightened out.
455
00:21:55,582 --> 00:21:58,079
But that could be years.
456
00:21:58,595 --> 00:22:00,090
I know.
457
00:22:04,082 --> 00:22:05,829
Lenore didn't tell you?
458
00:22:06,379 --> 00:22:07,988
Tell me what?
459
00:22:08,013 --> 00:22:09,551
She doesn't have years.
460
00:22:09,576 --> 00:22:11,815
Her breast cancer, it's back.
461
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,863
Spread to her lymph nodes.
462
00:22:21,439 --> 00:22:23,360
Maybe I should go see her.
463
00:22:23,385 --> 00:22:26,346
I'd talk to your lawyer first.
464
00:22:27,182 --> 00:22:29,352
You don't think I should go see her?
465
00:22:31,311 --> 00:22:32,852
No, it's just...
466
00:22:34,304 --> 00:22:36,656
I think you should be careful.
467
00:22:40,018 --> 00:22:42,831
She misunderstood my
intent, or she ignored it,
468
00:22:42,856 --> 00:22:44,508
but we just don't have time for this.
469
00:22:44,533 --> 00:22:46,370
and we raise expectations
470
00:22:46,395 --> 00:22:48,095
for what our firm can do!
471
00:22:48,120 --> 00:22:49,579
Ah, Lucca.
472
00:22:49,580 --> 00:22:52,159
It seems we picked up
a new case this morning.
473
00:22:52,184 --> 00:22:54,616
I told you we didn't want to get
tangled up in small-ball litigation.
474
00:22:54,641 --> 00:22:56,329
This is not small-ball.
475
00:22:56,585 --> 00:22:58,686
BMI has $12 billion in assets...
476
00:22:58,711 --> 00:23:00,829
Yes, and there won't be
any punitive damages here.
477
00:23:00,830 --> 00:23:03,079
- But we don't know that.
- We do know that.
478
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,553
This is one union member,
479
00:23:04,578 --> 00:23:06,780
and we're about to put
in 40 billable hours,
480
00:23:06,805 --> 00:23:09,669
to get him what, $20,000 in back pay?
481
00:23:09,694 --> 00:23:12,764
Is this about you losing
your office to a partner?
482
00:23:13,225 --> 00:23:14,435
No.
483
00:23:14,460 --> 00:23:16,119
This is about a good case.
484
00:23:19,521 --> 00:23:22,449
Hey, do you know what
the Friedman Method is?
485
00:23:22,450 --> 00:23:24,138
The Friedman Method?
486
00:23:24,780 --> 00:23:27,685
Yeah, it's a way to
interrogate a suspect... why?
487
00:23:27,710 --> 00:23:29,417
It's a case I'm on.
488
00:23:29,442 --> 00:23:30,841
How do I find out more about it?
489
00:23:30,866 --> 00:23:32,659
Easily, they have seminars.
490
00:23:32,660 --> 00:23:34,079
Just look them up online.
491
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,619
You pay the money, and you, too,
492
00:23:35,620 --> 00:23:37,289
can learn how to be a cop.
493
00:23:37,290 --> 00:23:38,579
Good to know.
494
00:23:38,580 --> 00:23:41,035
Oh, okay. I got to go, bye.
495
00:23:41,957 --> 00:23:44,207
- We're being shut down.
- What?
496
00:23:44,232 --> 00:23:45,709
They're worried the case is too small.
497
00:23:45,710 --> 00:23:47,249
You're kidding.
498
00:23:47,250 --> 00:23:49,209
I was just about to sign
up for a Friedman seminar
499
00:23:49,210 --> 00:23:50,881
to find out more.
500
00:23:55,702 --> 00:23:57,385
You know what, do it anyway.
501
00:23:57,616 --> 00:23:59,294
It's on our time.
502
00:23:59,319 --> 00:24:00,841
Why not?
503
00:24:01,589 --> 00:24:02,833
Okay.
504
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,869
People lie.
505
00:24:07,239 --> 00:24:09,310
And when people lie,
they want to confess...
506
00:24:09,335 --> 00:24:10,709
it's human nature.
507
00:24:10,814 --> 00:24:13,978
Your job... you and you and you...
508
00:24:14,003 --> 00:24:15,291
is to enable that process.
509
00:24:15,316 --> 00:24:18,619
You are a crucial step
to their cleansing.
510
00:24:18,870 --> 00:24:21,079
What you will learn over
the next four sessions
511
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,999
is the Friedman method.
512
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,078
A way to determine guilt...
513
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,180
and obtain a confession.
514
00:24:29,270 --> 00:24:31,529
One of these four people is lying.
515
00:24:31,554 --> 00:24:33,383
They all deny taking
money from a cash register,
516
00:24:33,408 --> 00:24:35,407
but one of them did.
517
00:24:35,748 --> 00:24:38,121
The first step in the Friedman Method is
518
00:24:38,146 --> 00:24:39,329
ascertain guilt.
519
00:24:39,330 --> 00:24:41,654
Find out who is lying.
520
00:24:41,869 --> 00:24:44,433
Look, I didn't do it.
521
00:24:44,434 --> 00:24:46,714
I wasn't even there. That's the truth.
522
00:24:46,739 --> 00:24:48,329
Pretty convincing, huh?
523
00:24:48,519 --> 00:24:50,499
But ignore the words.
They're irrelevant.
524
00:24:50,500 --> 00:24:52,499
Everybody swears they're innocent,
525
00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:54,831
but no one can hide their face.
526
00:24:54,856 --> 00:24:57,293
No one can hide their expressions.
527
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,768
The most important thing is to get
the suspect to look right at you
528
00:25:00,793 --> 00:25:03,941
and repeat the statement over and over.
529
00:25:04,363 --> 00:25:05,579
Let's watch it again.
530
00:25:05,580 --> 00:25:06,949
I'm going to slow down the image.
531
00:25:06,950 --> 00:25:08,998
Look, I didn't do it.
532
00:25:09,154 --> 00:25:11,079
I wasn't even there...
I wasn't even there.
533
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:12,849
- That's the truth...
- There!
534
00:25:12,874 --> 00:25:15,678
Right there. See? Under his lip?
535
00:25:16,076 --> 00:25:17,369
The risorius muscle.
536
00:25:17,370 --> 00:25:18,999
It's part of the expression of fear.
537
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,100
When we are experiencing anxiety,
538
00:25:21,125 --> 00:25:23,925
the risorius muscle will become tense.
539
00:25:23,950 --> 00:25:25,296
Look for it.
540
00:25:25,321 --> 00:25:26,882
I wasn't even there.
541
00:25:27,210 --> 00:25:28,949
- That's the truth.
- See?
542
00:25:29,044 --> 00:25:30,539
Clenched muscle.
543
00:25:30,540 --> 00:25:33,749
Good. Another telltale sign
of anxiety, the forehead.
544
00:25:33,750 --> 00:25:35,318
When there is a burst of anxiety,
545
00:25:35,343 --> 00:25:37,012
these muscles will tighten up,
546
00:25:37,037 --> 00:25:38,620
the eyebrows will rise upward,
547
00:25:38,645 --> 00:25:40,515
only for a second... see?
548
00:25:40,516 --> 00:25:43,089
The liar wants to force his expressions
549
00:25:43,114 --> 00:25:45,329
to look relaxed, in control.
550
00:25:45,330 --> 00:25:47,749
Therefore, the expression
you're looking for
551
00:25:47,750 --> 00:25:50,580
is fleeting, momentary.
552
00:25:53,235 --> 00:25:54,713
Do you think that's true,
553
00:25:54,738 --> 00:25:57,079
the way to discover a liar?
554
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,249
No, it's bad psychology.
555
00:25:59,250 --> 00:26:00,539
How do you mean?
556
00:26:00,540 --> 00:26:02,320
"Ignore the words"?
557
00:26:02,345 --> 00:26:03,772
Seriously?
558
00:26:03,797 --> 00:26:05,515
How does someone prove their innocence
559
00:26:05,540 --> 00:26:08,159
without explaining why they're innocent?
560
00:26:08,330 --> 00:26:10,519
And he says it's all
about detecting anxiety.
561
00:26:10,544 --> 00:26:13,699
Well, I don't care how innocent you are,
562
00:26:13,724 --> 00:26:15,539
if a cop calls you in for questioning,
563
00:26:15,540 --> 00:26:17,079
you're gonna be anxious.
564
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,433
So what does anxiety prove?
565
00:26:19,830 --> 00:26:21,353
What if there is no cop?
566
00:26:21,378 --> 00:26:23,957
What if there is no
reason to be anxious?
567
00:26:23,982 --> 00:26:26,361
I don't know. Everybody's different.
568
00:26:26,632 --> 00:26:29,382
Everybody's got their tell. I don't...
569
00:26:30,970 --> 00:26:32,135
What?
570
00:26:41,250 --> 00:26:42,947
This isn't a small thing.
571
00:26:42,972 --> 00:26:45,119
This is a massive class action.
572
00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:47,867
Every multi-billion
dollar nationwide retailer
573
00:26:47,892 --> 00:26:50,823
is sending middle-management
to these seminars...
574
00:26:50,848 --> 00:26:54,079
East Wing Running Shoes,
Widespread Tech, B&X...
575
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,332
I thought these seminars
were about training cops.
576
00:26:56,357 --> 00:26:58,039
That's how they were intended,
577
00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:59,999
but retail stores are
using the same techniques
578
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,829
against their own employees,
579
00:27:01,830 --> 00:27:04,684
and it's just as likely to
result in a false positive.
580
00:27:04,709 --> 00:27:06,993
Barbara, what do you think?
581
00:27:07,018 --> 00:27:08,558
It's good.
582
00:27:09,910 --> 00:27:12,040
Go certify a class.
583
00:27:15,933 --> 00:27:17,472
We should put Bobby on it with her.
584
00:27:17,497 --> 00:27:18,619
It's a big thing now.
585
00:27:18,620 --> 00:27:20,872
- Who's on it with her right now?
- The new associate, Maia.
586
00:27:20,897 --> 00:27:23,636
I'd keep her on it. Maia's good.
587
00:27:23,661 --> 00:27:25,329
And she's motivated.
588
00:27:25,330 --> 00:27:27,159
- That Rindell kid?
- Yes.
589
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,654
Sure. Everybody hates her.
590
00:27:29,866 --> 00:27:31,802
Great way to mold a fighter.
591
00:27:32,009 --> 00:27:33,429
All right.
592
00:27:38,630 --> 00:27:39,999
There may not even be a job here.
593
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,950
I just want to warn you.
594
00:27:46,294 --> 00:27:48,830
Uh, you're here for
the assistant position?
595
00:27:48,868 --> 00:27:51,112
Come on in... Daniela?
596
00:27:58,066 --> 00:27:59,464
Have a seat.
597
00:28:05,664 --> 00:28:07,635
This is still your case, Frank,
598
00:28:07,660 --> 00:28:09,829
but it's also now a class action.
599
00:28:09,830 --> 00:28:11,402
- So I don't pay anything?
- Right.
600
00:28:11,427 --> 00:28:14,470
And it's more likely that
you'll get a larger settlement,
601
00:28:14,495 --> 00:28:17,041
because these big companies will
want to avoid the embarrassment.
602
00:28:17,066 --> 00:28:19,621
Is this going to move quickly now,
because I'm having trouble paying rent.
603
00:28:19,646 --> 00:28:22,973
We think the companies will try
to win this motion to dismiss.
604
00:28:22,998 --> 00:28:25,457
And if not, they'll
negotiate a settlement.
605
00:28:25,504 --> 00:28:27,121
- All right, do I have to sign something?
- Yes.
606
00:28:27,146 --> 00:28:29,209
And, actually, you can help us, Frank.
607
00:28:29,210 --> 00:28:31,135
We're looking for other workers
608
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,460
who have had their wages
garnished, just like you.
609
00:28:33,485 --> 00:28:35,865
- So, if you...
- What is this case again?
610
00:28:37,250 --> 00:28:39,999
We're gathering a
class of retail workers
611
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,874
who were wrongly accused of
stealing from their stores.
612
00:28:42,906 --> 00:28:44,491
Okay, got it.
613
00:28:47,710 --> 00:28:49,789
So are you coming back to work?
614
00:28:49,790 --> 00:28:51,025
Everybody misses you.
615
00:28:51,050 --> 00:28:53,211
No, I got another job.
616
00:28:53,236 --> 00:28:54,845
In fact, can you help me out with it?
617
00:28:54,870 --> 00:28:56,249
You know everybody around here.
618
00:28:56,250 --> 00:28:58,556
Is there anybody in the
mall who had their wages cut?
619
00:28:58,581 --> 00:29:01,635
We're bringing a lawsuit against
all these big asshole companies,
620
00:29:01,660 --> 00:29:04,956
and I know you know all the
people here and how they complain.
621
00:29:04,981 --> 00:29:07,095
So is anybody bitching
about their paychecks?
622
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,002
It's about people
being forced to confess
623
00:29:09,027 --> 00:29:11,946
that they stole clothing
or shoes or computers.
624
00:29:11,971 --> 00:29:15,010
So if you hear anything
from anybody, here's my card.
625
00:29:15,035 --> 00:29:16,319
Tell them to call me.
626
00:29:28,691 --> 00:29:30,209
What the hell are you doing, Barbara?
627
00:29:30,210 --> 00:29:31,949
What am I doing? I'm having a sandwich.
628
00:29:31,974 --> 00:29:33,675
You're dragging my members
into a class action.
629
00:29:33,700 --> 00:29:36,056
If this is about the salary
garnishing, we're not drag...
630
00:29:36,081 --> 00:29:38,040
You're pissing off management!
631
00:29:38,438 --> 00:29:40,555
We're on the eve of a
contract negotiation,
632
00:29:40,580 --> 00:29:41,782
and you're pissing off management.
633
00:29:41,839 --> 00:29:43,678
It was a union-member complaint.
634
00:29:43,703 --> 00:29:45,428
- We are merely...
- No, no, no, no.
635
00:29:45,453 --> 00:29:47,526
You convinced him to
pursue a class action,
636
00:29:47,551 --> 00:29:49,377
because you wanted the money.
637
00:29:49,402 --> 00:29:51,731
You came into our offices
and asked for our help
638
00:29:51,756 --> 00:29:53,377
to collect a class...
639
00:29:53,752 --> 00:29:55,055
Those two did.
640
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,643
- Your contract is with us.
- Yes.
641
00:29:56,668 --> 00:29:58,845
And you employed us to
help your members and...
642
00:29:58,870 --> 00:30:00,925
As a gesture, merely.
643
00:30:00,950 --> 00:30:03,659
Uh, maybe your members
would like to know that.
644
00:30:04,166 --> 00:30:05,587
Seriously?
645
00:30:05,777 --> 00:30:07,659
That's how little our
contract means to you?
646
00:30:07,684 --> 00:30:08,745
- You're threatening me?
- God,
647
00:30:08,770 --> 00:30:10,556
if that's considered a threat, friend,
648
00:30:10,581 --> 00:30:13,001
I would love to live in your world.
649
00:30:13,415 --> 00:30:15,406
We won't pay a cent
for this class action,
650
00:30:15,431 --> 00:30:18,220
and we won't help in
any way. So drop it.
651
00:30:24,359 --> 00:30:26,367
What are you gonna do?
652
00:30:27,450 --> 00:30:29,950
We're gonna find another benefactor.
653
00:30:31,921 --> 00:30:33,882
So what do you have?
654
00:30:34,450 --> 00:30:37,329
A new suit. Very last-minute.
655
00:30:37,330 --> 00:30:40,200
Class action against
12 nationwide retailers.
656
00:30:40,225 --> 00:30:43,949
- I'll need financing on, say, 140...
- How many in the class?
657
00:30:43,950 --> 00:30:45,579
We're gathering that as we speak,
658
00:30:45,580 --> 00:30:46,909
but we think 20, maybe more.
659
00:30:46,910 --> 00:30:48,999
Sympathetic, working-class families,
660
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,659
all retail workers.
661
00:30:50,684 --> 00:30:51,999
Who's the test case?
662
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,499
Top of page three.
663
00:30:53,500 --> 00:30:55,728
Frank Gwinn, 32 years old.
664
00:30:55,753 --> 00:30:57,212
Divorced father.
665
00:30:57,237 --> 00:30:59,159
Good witness. College-educated.
666
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,209
Worked at BMI selling shoes.
667
00:31:01,210 --> 00:31:03,449
No litigation in his
background, and no priors.
668
00:31:03,450 --> 00:31:06,619
- Uh, he's delinquent on a loan.
- It's a student loan.
669
00:31:06,620 --> 00:31:08,556
2012. He's making payments again.
670
00:31:08,581 --> 00:31:10,079
Your proposal?
671
00:31:10,447 --> 00:31:12,744
You finance 600 billable hours
672
00:31:12,769 --> 00:31:14,369
for an initial payment of $300,000.
673
00:31:14,370 --> 00:31:16,300
You'll have two exit ramps. One,
674
00:31:16,325 --> 00:31:17,698
after the motion to dismiss.
675
00:31:17,723 --> 00:31:19,249
Two, six months into trial,
676
00:31:19,250 --> 00:31:21,209
if we even go that long.
677
00:31:21,210 --> 00:31:23,597
You share 40% of the award,
678
00:31:23,622 --> 00:31:27,032
up to $8 million.
679
00:31:29,174 --> 00:31:30,514
No.
680
00:31:32,194 --> 00:31:33,449
Why?
681
00:31:33,450 --> 00:31:35,209
You can't get better.
682
00:31:35,210 --> 00:31:38,209
Your motion to dismiss is in
front of Judge Kevin Drago?
683
00:31:38,210 --> 00:31:39,249
We've won in front of him before.
684
00:31:39,250 --> 00:31:40,999
Our algorithm doesn't like him.
685
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,119
Not for this case.
686
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,949
Your algorithm's not taking into account
687
00:31:43,950 --> 00:31:45,788
that I'm a fucking good lawyer.
688
00:31:45,813 --> 00:31:48,072
Don't swear, okay?
689
00:31:48,295 --> 00:31:49,955
It bugs out Jer.
690
00:31:52,073 --> 00:31:53,411
I'm sorry.
691
00:31:56,646 --> 00:31:58,699
Does your algorithm even like this case?
692
00:31:58,724 --> 00:31:59,749
It does.
693
00:31:59,750 --> 00:32:01,579
Good optics, good potential pay-out.
694
00:32:01,580 --> 00:32:03,119
It's just this judge.
695
00:32:03,268 --> 00:32:06,127
It's okay, I will get you a new judge.
696
00:32:06,210 --> 00:32:09,244
- How you gonna do that?
- I'm a good lawyer.
697
00:32:14,678 --> 00:32:16,217
We're going to court.
698
00:32:16,242 --> 00:32:18,661
Fuck the union, we will
finance this thing ourselves.
699
00:32:18,686 --> 00:32:20,075
You, I want you in court.
700
00:32:20,100 --> 00:32:22,015
Uh, uh, what is your name again?
701
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,829
- Maia.
- Maia. Great.
702
00:32:23,830 --> 00:32:26,709
- Second chair.
- I... well, thank you, sir.
703
00:32:26,710 --> 00:32:28,964
Unfortunately we've
run into a snag, Adrian.
704
00:32:28,989 --> 00:32:30,529
- What?
- The class.
705
00:32:30,554 --> 00:32:31,845
Without the union's help,
706
00:32:31,870 --> 00:32:33,786
we're having a little
trouble locating employees
707
00:32:33,811 --> 00:32:34,999
with garnished wages.
708
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,209
Check crime reports.
709
00:32:36,210 --> 00:32:38,451
Any business missing back-stock
they'd report it, right?
710
00:32:38,476 --> 00:32:39,870
No. They tried that.
711
00:32:39,895 --> 00:32:41,684
Let's post fliers. Let's check Reddit.
712
00:32:41,709 --> 00:32:43,382
Let's get creative.
713
00:32:43,407 --> 00:32:44,812
I've told our financial partners
714
00:32:44,837 --> 00:32:46,390
that we would have 20
members in the class,
715
00:32:46,415 --> 00:32:48,140
so let's get to it, all right?
716
00:32:48,165 --> 00:32:50,449
Here's 23 employees who
were accused of theft
717
00:32:50,450 --> 00:32:52,372
by their employer and
had their wages garnished.
718
00:32:52,397 --> 00:32:54,258
And I have feelers out to a dozen more.
719
00:32:54,283 --> 00:32:56,971
And there are two more
people here to be interviewed.
720
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,721
Who is that?
721
00:33:04,588 --> 00:33:06,500
My new assistant.
722
00:33:10,870 --> 00:33:13,523
You want me to recuse myself?
723
00:33:13,942 --> 00:33:16,726
Yes, Your Honor. Regretfully.
724
00:33:16,759 --> 00:33:19,437
- You don't like me, Counselor?
- No, I love you.
725
00:33:19,462 --> 00:33:23,140
At our firm, we speak very highly
of you all the time, Your Honor.
726
00:33:23,165 --> 00:33:24,616
But unfortunately, in this instance,
727
00:33:24,641 --> 00:33:25,850
there is a conflict of interest.
728
00:33:25,875 --> 00:33:28,233
We're good here, Your Honor. No problem.
729
00:33:28,450 --> 00:33:30,469
Isn't this just a motion to dismiss?
730
00:33:30,494 --> 00:33:32,866
I'm not sure how I
can be conflicted out.
731
00:33:32,891 --> 00:33:34,584
I've shopped at BMI,
but that's about it.
732
00:33:34,609 --> 00:33:35,959
And you, sir?
733
00:33:35,984 --> 00:33:37,148
Do I know you?
734
00:33:37,149 --> 00:33:38,318
No, Your Honor.
735
00:33:38,656 --> 00:33:40,028
Nice try, Mr. Boseman,
736
00:33:40,029 --> 00:33:42,358
but I reject your motion to recuse me.
737
00:33:42,383 --> 00:33:43,756
We can start with your first witness.
738
00:33:43,781 --> 00:33:45,858
Actually, Your Honor,
there's one more thing.
739
00:33:45,883 --> 00:33:47,252
You're trying my patience, sir.
740
00:33:47,277 --> 00:33:50,311
You recently you lost over a
million dollars in an investment.
741
00:33:51,076 --> 00:33:53,448
- Am I correct?
- That's none of your business.
742
00:33:53,473 --> 00:33:55,605
And that loss has nothing
to do with the matter here.
743
00:33:55,630 --> 00:33:56,886
Now sit down.
744
00:33:56,911 --> 00:33:59,006
But unfortunately, our
second chair here...
745
00:33:59,031 --> 00:34:02,014
uh, Maia, would you stand up
and state your full name please?
746
00:34:04,740 --> 00:34:06,651
Maia Rindell.
747
00:34:07,792 --> 00:34:08,988
As you can see, Your Honor,
748
00:34:08,989 --> 00:34:11,278
since you've lost most of your savings
749
00:34:11,279 --> 00:34:13,124
to the Rindell Ponzi scheme,
750
00:34:13,149 --> 00:34:16,522
you cannot fairly judge this case.
751
00:34:18,475 --> 00:34:22,361
So here we all are on this
lovely Wednesday afternoon.
752
00:34:22,386 --> 00:34:24,049
And unfortunately,
753
00:34:24,074 --> 00:34:26,783
I have misplaced my
prescription glasses.
754
00:34:26,808 --> 00:34:30,353
So I will try to make do with
these prescription sunglasses,
755
00:34:30,378 --> 00:34:33,337
if you don't mind me looking
a little bit like a movie star.
756
00:34:33,362 --> 00:34:35,293
Very becoming, Your Honor.
757
00:34:35,318 --> 00:34:36,981
Well, I wouldn't go that far.
758
00:34:37,006 --> 00:34:39,059
Coming from L.A., I'm used to it.
759
00:34:39,084 --> 00:34:40,543
Ah, Los Angeles.
760
00:34:40,568 --> 00:34:41,887
How is your drought?
761
00:34:41,912 --> 00:34:43,241
Uh, improving.
762
00:34:43,266 --> 00:34:45,345
Good. I love the way your state
763
00:34:45,370 --> 00:34:46,853
emphasizes green energy.
764
00:34:46,878 --> 00:34:49,618
Yes, I have a Tesla myself.
765
00:34:49,643 --> 00:34:51,248
It's such a wonderful car.
766
00:34:51,273 --> 00:34:53,025
Your Honor, the motion to dismiss.
767
00:34:53,050 --> 00:34:54,759
Yes, thank you, Lucca.
768
00:34:56,064 --> 00:34:58,528
The simple fact is the
plaintiff is attempting to use
769
00:34:58,529 --> 00:35:01,048
the theft of 400 running
shoes from my client's...
770
00:35:01,073 --> 00:35:02,662
Not the theft. There is no theft here.
771
00:35:02,687 --> 00:35:05,186
If I could finish? Thank you.
772
00:35:05,779 --> 00:35:08,346
To sue 15 respected companies.
773
00:35:08,371 --> 00:35:10,393
In other words, this
is a Trojan Horse...
774
00:35:10,418 --> 00:35:12,627
Actually, the metaphor
I would use, Your Honor,
775
00:35:12,652 --> 00:35:14,441
- is a reverse Robin Hood.
- Seriously?
776
00:35:14,466 --> 00:35:15,979
Well, this is getting heated.
777
00:35:16,004 --> 00:35:18,098
My client makes $40,000 a year.
778
00:35:18,123 --> 00:35:20,278
Ms. Stevens' client makes $13 billion.
779
00:35:20,342 --> 00:35:23,301
And yet every payday, they
take 40% of his take home pay.
780
00:35:23,326 --> 00:35:26,535
Okay, well, battle lines drawn.
781
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,785
Ms. Stevens, your, your first witness.
782
00:35:28,817 --> 00:35:30,495
We had a lot of theft
from the store-room,
783
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,922
almost $600,000 this year.
784
00:35:32,947 --> 00:35:35,236
So I was asked to
question the employees.
785
00:35:35,237 --> 00:35:36,954
And why did you zero
in on the plaintiff?
786
00:35:36,979 --> 00:35:39,562
He showed signs of deception
per the Friedman method.
787
00:35:39,587 --> 00:35:41,086
This is a method utilized by the police
788
00:35:41,087 --> 00:35:42,845
- to question suspects?
- Yes.
789
00:35:42,870 --> 00:35:45,749
And the plaintiff
signed this confession?
790
00:35:45,774 --> 00:35:48,216
Yes. He told us exactly how he...
791
00:35:48,217 --> 00:35:49,640
slipped the crates into his car,
792
00:35:49,665 --> 00:35:51,341
took them down to Maxwell Street Market,
793
00:35:51,366 --> 00:35:53,147
and sold them to a vendor for $10,000.
794
00:35:53,172 --> 00:35:54,583
- Thank you, Mr. Diyardian.
- He gave me that information.
795
00:35:54,608 --> 00:35:55,698
- Nothing more here, Your Honor.
- Mike,
796
00:35:55,730 --> 00:35:57,223
could you angle that screen some more?
797
00:35:57,248 --> 00:35:59,287
These sunglasses are polarized.
798
00:35:59,312 --> 00:36:01,562
Yeah, keep coming, keep coming. Ah.
799
00:36:01,587 --> 00:36:03,664
Keep coming, keep coming. Oh, well...
800
00:36:07,008 --> 00:36:08,506
Uh, continue, please.
801
00:36:08,507 --> 00:36:11,516
Uh, just a few questions, Benji.
802
00:36:11,695 --> 00:36:14,467
Why didn't you tell the
police about the theft?
803
00:36:14,967 --> 00:36:15,973
Excuse me?
804
00:36:15,998 --> 00:36:18,694
Well, if it were me and
I had $70,000 stolen,
805
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,427
I would go to the police.
806
00:36:20,452 --> 00:36:23,411
Well, the company would rather
settle these things internally.
807
00:36:23,436 --> 00:36:25,732
And I'd rather you
call me "Mr. Diyardian."
808
00:36:25,757 --> 00:36:27,836
Oh, my apologies.
809
00:36:27,837 --> 00:36:30,166
And Mr. Gwinn stole this $70,000,
810
00:36:30,167 --> 00:36:32,006
according to your interrogation?
811
00:36:32,007 --> 00:36:33,171
My interview.
812
00:36:33,218 --> 00:36:35,312
Right, your interview.
813
00:36:35,457 --> 00:36:38,256
To your mind, Frank
Gwinn is a thief, right?
814
00:36:38,898 --> 00:36:40,336
Well, he stole, yes.
815
00:36:40,361 --> 00:36:42,242
Then why didn't the company fire him?
816
00:36:42,267 --> 00:36:45,297
Your Honor, I-I think
it's a little odd that BMI
817
00:36:45,322 --> 00:36:48,191
is being censured for doing
the humanitarian thing.
818
00:36:48,216 --> 00:36:50,837
Oh, I don't think
plaintiff is censuring them.
819
00:36:50,862 --> 00:36:53,972
I think she just finds it odd
that they kept the thief on staff,
820
00:36:53,997 --> 00:36:55,495
as do I.
821
00:36:55,876 --> 00:36:58,456
Well, the company just
wanted an opportunity
822
00:36:58,481 --> 00:37:00,463
to claw back its losses, didn't it?
823
00:37:00,505 --> 00:37:01,932
Right, it did.
824
00:37:01,964 --> 00:37:04,166
So the company wanted
to keep Frank employed
825
00:37:04,167 --> 00:37:05,876
so they could take from his paycheck?
826
00:37:05,877 --> 00:37:07,876
- Is that right?
- Well, that's not how I'd put it.
827
00:37:07,877 --> 00:37:10,337
How would you put it,
Benji? Please take your time.
828
00:37:12,116 --> 00:37:14,973
You're suggesting bad motives here.
829
00:37:14,998 --> 00:37:16,932
But BMI thinks all its employees
830
00:37:16,957 --> 00:37:19,151
should be allowed to make things right.
831
00:37:19,534 --> 00:37:23,221
And so, even though, Frank,
supposedly stole $70,000,
832
00:37:23,246 --> 00:37:25,432
he was still allowed to work alone
833
00:37:25,457 --> 00:37:27,626
and unsupervised in the backroom?
834
00:37:27,627 --> 00:37:29,546
Objection. Asked and answered.
835
00:37:29,718 --> 00:37:32,628
Uh, actually, no, I'd
like to hear the answer.
836
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:34,835
We trust our employees.
837
00:37:34,860 --> 00:37:36,476
And that's why you questioned
him for seven hours?
838
00:37:36,501 --> 00:37:38,022
Objection. Argumentative.
839
00:37:38,047 --> 00:37:40,756
I'll rephrase. How many hours
did you question my client?
840
00:37:40,781 --> 00:37:42,218
I don't know. I didn't keep track.
841
00:37:42,243 --> 00:37:44,032
Well, uh...
842
00:37:44,439 --> 00:37:46,710
uh, it says seven hours here.
843
00:37:52,250 --> 00:37:54,321
Oh, hello, Lucca.
844
00:37:54,322 --> 00:37:56,633
Good to see you're still at it.
845
00:37:56,658 --> 00:37:58,392
And it's um...
846
00:37:58,549 --> 00:38:00,446
Mai... I'm sorry, Mia.
847
00:38:00,471 --> 00:38:02,110
- Maia.
- Maia, thank you.
848
00:38:02,135 --> 00:38:04,173
- Hi. I'm Andrea.
- Hi.
849
00:38:04,198 --> 00:38:07,046
I'm so terribly sorry about your family.
850
00:38:07,047 --> 00:38:08,796
Must be hard on you.
851
00:38:09,568 --> 00:38:11,416
- It's manageable.
- Manageable.
852
00:38:11,417 --> 00:38:12,646
Good.
853
00:38:12,671 --> 00:38:15,756
Women are taking over
the world, piece by piece.
854
00:38:16,474 --> 00:38:19,284
Um, I'm wondering if you and
I could talk sometime, Lucca.
855
00:38:19,309 --> 00:38:20,796
We can talk right now.
856
00:38:20,797 --> 00:38:22,546
Well, I-I just
857
00:38:22,547 --> 00:38:25,934
hate doing it here in
a public place, but...
858
00:38:29,489 --> 00:38:32,216
So, what's the offer?
859
00:38:32,603 --> 00:38:33,916
Offer?
860
00:38:33,917 --> 00:38:37,938
No, I-I just wanted to know
where you got your hair cut.
861
00:38:37,963 --> 00:38:40,767
I just, I love the bangs so much.
862
00:38:41,431 --> 00:38:42,765
A friend of mine.
863
00:38:42,790 --> 00:38:45,181
- She cuts hair out of her apartment.
- Really?
864
00:38:45,206 --> 00:38:47,585
- Could you maybe get me her number?
- Sure.
865
00:38:47,610 --> 00:38:48,899
Thank you.
866
00:38:49,007 --> 00:38:50,251
Gosh. Mm.
867
00:38:50,276 --> 00:38:51,975
I love this, by the way.
868
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,250
It would look great on
you. Do you want to buy it?
869
00:38:54,275 --> 00:38:55,821
No.
870
00:38:56,985 --> 00:38:59,642
I'd sooner buy the
smile off the Mona Lisa.
871
00:39:00,886 --> 00:39:02,455
See you tomorrow.
872
00:39:02,530 --> 00:39:03,820
Bye, Mia.
873
00:39:07,835 --> 00:39:09,615
_
874
00:39:14,281 --> 00:39:15,626
It was just was a scare.
875
00:39:15,627 --> 00:39:17,216
Dr. Trotter found another lump.
876
00:39:17,217 --> 00:39:18,876
But he thinks it's nothing.
877
00:39:18,877 --> 00:39:20,297
Good.
878
00:39:20,322 --> 00:39:21,506
Is that why you called?
879
00:39:21,507 --> 00:39:23,470
Oh, yes, I mean, I was told the cancer
880
00:39:23,495 --> 00:39:24,784
had spread to your lymph nodes.
881
00:39:24,785 --> 00:39:27,543
Well, that's the fear.
882
00:39:28,134 --> 00:39:30,441
It's good to see you, Maia.
883
00:39:31,172 --> 00:39:32,691
You look older.
884
00:39:38,828 --> 00:39:40,794
Look at me, Mom.
885
00:39:41,586 --> 00:39:42,955
Why?
886
00:39:42,980 --> 00:39:45,138
I just want to ask you a few questions.
887
00:39:45,598 --> 00:39:48,310
Oh, Maia, I spent the last two
weeks answering more questions
888
00:39:48,335 --> 00:39:49,466
than I have in my whole life.
889
00:39:49,491 --> 00:39:50,958
Yes. And I am your daughter.
890
00:39:50,983 --> 00:39:53,114
And I just want to ask you a few more.
891
00:39:54,015 --> 00:39:55,388
Look at me.
892
00:39:56,848 --> 00:39:59,787
Okay, I'm looking at you.
893
00:40:01,837 --> 00:40:03,842
Was there really a cancer scare?
894
00:40:04,506 --> 00:40:06,100
Yes, baby,
895
00:40:06,855 --> 00:40:09,068
there was a cancer scare.
896
00:40:09,658 --> 00:40:11,831
And you're not lying to me?
897
00:40:13,245 --> 00:40:15,136
I'm your mother.
898
00:40:17,048 --> 00:40:19,761
- Is Dad guilty?
- You know he's not.
899
00:40:21,513 --> 00:40:22,994
Are you guilty?
900
00:40:24,580 --> 00:40:27,572
No, Maia, I'm not guilty.
901
00:40:27,937 --> 00:40:30,423
Uncle Jax is guilty.
902
00:40:32,147 --> 00:40:34,320
You just need to trust me, baby.
903
00:40:34,345 --> 00:40:36,005
We're family.
904
00:40:39,521 --> 00:40:42,075
I don't know if she's lying or not.
905
00:40:44,107 --> 00:40:46,107
About the cancer?
906
00:40:46,705 --> 00:40:49,278
No, about the fund.
907
00:40:51,210 --> 00:40:53,629
Do you think your dad did it?
908
00:40:53,654 --> 00:40:55,527
I don't know.
909
00:40:56,872 --> 00:40:59,262
We were always the boring family.
910
00:41:00,732 --> 00:41:04,018
I mean, all my friends, their...
911
00:41:04,322 --> 00:41:06,260
their parents were divorcing
912
00:41:06,293 --> 00:41:09,080
or having affairs and...
913
00:41:10,723 --> 00:41:14,142
I used to lie about
Mom and Dad fighting,
914
00:41:14,167 --> 00:41:16,532
so that I wouldn't seem so weird.
915
00:41:19,649 --> 00:41:21,508
And now...
916
00:41:22,878 --> 00:41:26,063
it's like we're paying for
all those years of happiness.
917
00:41:27,956 --> 00:41:30,070
That's your parents.
918
00:41:30,095 --> 00:41:32,953
Doesn't have to be you.
919
00:41:34,415 --> 00:41:36,900
You can be as happy as you want.
920
00:41:40,696 --> 00:41:42,105
And we're back.
921
00:41:42,130 --> 00:41:44,579
Now, here's the thing, young man.
922
00:41:44,604 --> 00:41:45,603
No, you can all sit down.
923
00:41:45,628 --> 00:41:46,762
I have a question for you.
924
00:41:46,787 --> 00:41:48,786
What is supination?
925
00:41:48,811 --> 00:41:50,440
I was buying running shoes yesterday
926
00:41:50,465 --> 00:41:52,777
and they told me my feet supinate?
927
00:41:52,802 --> 00:41:54,121
Yeah, uh, supination
928
00:41:54,146 --> 00:41:56,363
is when your feet roll
outward when you run.
929
00:41:56,387 --> 00:41:58,386
- Oh, and that's a bad thing?
- Yes, it can be a bad thing.
930
00:41:58,387 --> 00:42:00,176
But that's why you need shoes
with a firmer outer sole.
931
00:42:00,177 --> 00:42:02,766
- Ah. Shoes like these?
- Uh,
932
00:42:02,791 --> 00:42:04,117
Your Honor, um,
933
00:42:04,142 --> 00:42:05,352
we do have a witness,
934
00:42:05,377 --> 00:42:07,172
but if you're feeling
biased towards the plaintiff,
935
00:42:07,197 --> 00:42:08,635
we ask that we be heard on a recusal.
936
00:42:08,660 --> 00:42:09,949
No, no. No, counselor.
937
00:42:09,974 --> 00:42:11,554
I'm just getting some advice.
938
00:42:11,579 --> 00:42:12,716
My apologies.
939
00:42:12,717 --> 00:42:14,716
I will work hard toward
neither supinating
940
00:42:14,717 --> 00:42:17,556
nor pronating toward
one side or the other.
941
00:42:17,557 --> 00:42:18,918
Your next witness.
942
00:42:18,943 --> 00:42:21,006
The interviewer merely
tries to ease the way
943
00:42:21,007 --> 00:42:24,198
for a liar to admit
the truth, that's all.
944
00:42:24,223 --> 00:42:26,129
So you tend to minimize the crime?
945
00:42:26,154 --> 00:42:27,331
Yes.
946
00:42:27,613 --> 00:42:29,346
According to Mr.
Diyardian's own testimony,
947
00:42:29,347 --> 00:42:30,506
he made it clear to the suspect
948
00:42:30,507 --> 00:42:32,259
that the theft was not a big matter.
949
00:42:32,284 --> 00:42:33,676
They just wanted to solve it.
950
00:42:33,677 --> 00:42:36,006
In fact, he could understand
why someone would be tempted.
951
00:42:36,007 --> 00:42:37,426
He was even tempted.
952
00:42:37,427 --> 00:42:38,676
And the plaintiff has suggested
953
00:42:38,677 --> 00:42:40,806
that Mr. Diyardian
handed all the details
954
00:42:40,807 --> 00:42:43,096
of the flea market sale to Mr. Gwinn?
955
00:42:43,097 --> 00:42:45,914
Yes, but that's just part of our method.
956
00:42:45,939 --> 00:42:47,352
Making it clear to the suspect
957
00:42:47,377 --> 00:42:49,258
that you know all the
particulars of his crime
958
00:42:49,260 --> 00:42:52,096
helps him feel there is
no way to avoid detection.
959
00:42:52,097 --> 00:42:54,346
And this is the same
method used by police
960
00:42:54,347 --> 00:42:56,867
- to catch criminals?
- Yes, definitely.
961
00:42:56,900 --> 00:42:58,367
It is tried and tested.
962
00:42:58,392 --> 00:43:00,195
All done here, Your Honor.
963
00:43:00,507 --> 00:43:02,640
Do you want to do it?
964
00:43:07,119 --> 00:43:10,017
- Well, if you don't want to.
- No. No.
965
00:43:10,042 --> 00:43:11,642
I want to.
966
00:43:28,324 --> 00:43:30,510
Mr. Le Frenais.
967
00:43:30,535 --> 00:43:32,260
La Frenais.
968
00:43:32,285 --> 00:43:34,120
La Frenais.
969
00:43:35,677 --> 00:43:39,166
Is it part of your method
970
00:43:39,191 --> 00:43:42,430
that you can lie to the suspect?
971
00:43:42,455 --> 00:43:45,197
Sorry, Counselor. You,
uh... can you speak up?
972
00:43:45,222 --> 00:43:47,947
I think that Lisa is
having problems hearing you.
973
00:43:47,972 --> 00:43:50,011
Yes. Of course.
974
00:43:50,036 --> 00:43:53,445
Is it part of your Friedman method, sir,
975
00:43:53,470 --> 00:43:57,072
that you can lie to the
suspect being questioned?
976
00:43:57,097 --> 00:43:59,101
Whoa. Much better, thank you.
977
00:43:59,126 --> 00:44:00,726
It's not part of my method.
978
00:44:00,751 --> 00:44:03,660
It's part of the Supreme Court
decision, Frazier v. Cupp.
979
00:44:03,685 --> 00:44:06,278
Police officers can lie to suspects.
980
00:44:07,238 --> 00:44:10,528
And so in step number
five of your method,
981
00:44:10,553 --> 00:44:12,919
the interviewer is to present
982
00:44:12,944 --> 00:44:15,810
evidence of culpability to the suspect,
983
00:44:15,835 --> 00:44:17,726
whether it's true or not?
984
00:44:17,810 --> 00:44:20,367
Well, it's better if the
evidence is true, of course.
985
00:44:21,688 --> 00:44:23,983
But it doesn't have to be?
986
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:25,851
No.
987
00:44:26,575 --> 00:44:28,630
So when Benji presented Frank
988
00:44:28,655 --> 00:44:30,724
with a DVD recording of him stealing
989
00:44:30,749 --> 00:44:34,083
the $70,000 in running shoes...
990
00:44:34,108 --> 00:44:38,052
a DVD that was completely
blank, by the way...
991
00:44:38,077 --> 00:44:40,739
that was A-okay with you?
992
00:44:40,764 --> 00:44:42,186
Yes,
993
00:44:42,211 --> 00:44:45,038
if it helps find a crook, yes.
994
00:44:45,122 --> 00:44:48,676
But doesn't your method
result in false confessions?
995
00:44:48,701 --> 00:44:49,910
Very few.
996
00:44:49,935 --> 00:44:52,215
In fact, hasn't your method
997
00:44:52,240 --> 00:44:53,846
been banned by police
998
00:44:53,871 --> 00:44:56,113
in Canada and England?
999
00:44:56,138 --> 00:44:59,174
I wouldn't call it banned.
They've chosen not to use it.
1000
00:44:59,199 --> 00:45:01,442
Oh, because it resulted in
too many false confessions?
1001
00:45:01,467 --> 00:45:02,817
I don't think that's fair.
1002
00:45:02,842 --> 00:45:05,012
But is it true, sir?
1003
00:45:07,439 --> 00:45:09,853
I'll leave that analysis to others.
1004
00:45:09,908 --> 00:45:11,340
Analysis. What...
1005
00:45:11,365 --> 00:45:12,637
"The Friedman Method
1006
00:45:12,662 --> 00:45:15,480
"is a banned coercive
technique of interrogation
1007
00:45:15,505 --> 00:45:18,762
"that results in too
many false confessions.
1008
00:45:18,787 --> 00:45:22,672
"It is therefore banned
within our jurisdiction."
1009
00:45:23,122 --> 00:45:25,483
Do you mean analysis like that?
1010
00:45:25,508 --> 00:45:26,912
Who wrote that?
1011
00:45:26,937 --> 00:45:28,195
Melissa Starr.
1012
00:45:28,220 --> 00:45:30,862
London Metropolitan
Police. Scotland Yard.
1013
00:45:30,887 --> 00:45:32,084
Okay.
1014
00:45:32,109 --> 00:45:33,444
Uh...
1015
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:35,303
anything further?
1016
00:45:35,335 --> 00:45:36,924
Nothing here, Your Honor.
1017
00:45:37,769 --> 00:45:39,115
Thank you.
1018
00:45:58,866 --> 00:46:00,512
Hi. This is Diane Lockhart's office,
1019
00:46:00,537 --> 00:46:02,996
and I'm her assistant,
Marissa. How may I help you?
1020
00:46:04,387 --> 00:46:06,323
It's Dr. Ainsworth at Harbor Hospital.
1021
00:46:06,348 --> 00:46:08,675
- Do you want to call him back?
- Please.
1022
00:46:08,762 --> 00:46:10,410
Diane.
1023
00:46:10,435 --> 00:46:12,455
You didn't like any of the applicants?
1024
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,191
Oh, for the assistant's job?
1025
00:46:14,216 --> 00:46:16,532
Uh, no, I did. It's
just that I know Marissa,
1026
00:46:16,557 --> 00:46:18,636
and she's on the ball. She's good.
1027
00:46:18,661 --> 00:46:20,016
You'll see.
1028
00:46:25,582 --> 00:46:27,201
Okay. This is our offer.
1029
00:46:27,482 --> 00:46:29,306
$500,000 to Frank Gwinn.
1030
00:46:29,307 --> 00:46:30,514
No class action.
1031
00:46:30,539 --> 00:46:32,214
If the firm pursues a class action,
1032
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,818
our offer goes away
and Frank gets nothing.
1033
00:46:35,503 --> 00:46:38,149
Lot of money for a guy
pulling in 40 grand a year.
1034
00:46:38,275 --> 00:46:39,751
Mm-hmm.
1035
00:46:41,983 --> 00:46:44,403
What do you think of that, Maia?
1036
00:46:47,812 --> 00:46:51,265
I think we'll have to get back to you.
1037
00:46:51,597 --> 00:46:52,976
Okay.
1038
00:46:53,001 --> 00:46:55,080
In the next, uh, two hours,
1039
00:46:55,105 --> 00:46:58,125
or we go back to court, and destroy you.
1040
00:47:00,427 --> 00:47:02,259
- Ms. Stevens.
- Yeah.
1041
00:47:02,284 --> 00:47:03,868
I have an answer for you now.
1042
00:47:03,893 --> 00:47:05,868
Oh. Great.
1043
00:47:06,387 --> 00:47:08,267
My hair stylist's number.
1044
00:47:16,411 --> 00:47:17,808
Well?
1045
00:47:19,319 --> 00:47:21,385
We got a decision to make.
1046
00:47:21,410 --> 00:47:23,791
No. It's not enough
money for us to take.
1047
00:47:23,816 --> 00:47:25,853
It's not your decision.
It's the client's.
1048
00:47:25,878 --> 00:47:27,736
No. It's a decision for the whole class:
1049
00:47:27,761 --> 00:47:29,252
all 24 clients.
1050
00:47:29,277 --> 00:47:31,072
The algorithm says we stay in.
1051
00:47:31,097 --> 00:47:32,168
This is crazy.
1052
00:47:32,193 --> 00:47:34,566
You can't have them decide what we do.
1053
00:47:34,605 --> 00:47:36,027
They're paying the bills, Lucca.
1054
00:47:36,052 --> 00:47:37,601
Yes, but Frank needs the money.
1055
00:47:37,626 --> 00:47:40,137
If we pass on this,
he could get nothing.
1056
00:47:40,162 --> 00:47:41,701
Or he could get a whole lot more.
1057
00:47:41,834 --> 00:47:44,084
Let's just wait and see.
1058
00:47:48,739 --> 00:47:51,302
I just have one last
question for you, Frank.
1059
00:47:51,378 --> 00:47:53,092
Why did you confess?
1060
00:47:53,138 --> 00:47:57,177
If you didn't do it, then
why would you confess?
1061
00:47:57,202 --> 00:47:59,444
He made it seem like
it was the only way out.
1062
00:47:59,469 --> 00:48:01,008
He he had a DVD of me doing it.
1063
00:48:01,033 --> 00:48:03,275
And if you knew there
was nothing on that DVD,
1064
00:48:03,300 --> 00:48:05,462
then why would you confess?
1065
00:48:05,947 --> 00:48:08,267
I felt helpless. I was exhausted.
1066
00:48:08,292 --> 00:48:11,353
He had me convinced that I
just repressed the memory.
1067
00:48:11,378 --> 00:48:12,814
He said he had a witness who swore
1068
00:48:12,839 --> 00:48:14,930
that I was down at a flea
market, selling the shoes.
1069
00:48:14,955 --> 00:48:16,509
- Were you?
- No.
1070
00:48:16,534 --> 00:48:18,163
But he said he was gonna
give all this to the cops
1071
00:48:18,188 --> 00:48:19,531
if I didn't come clean to the company.
1072
00:48:19,556 --> 00:48:21,095
Come clean, meaning?
1073
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:22,688
Sign this statement that he wrote up.
1074
00:48:22,713 --> 00:48:23,930
- And so you signed it?
- Yes.
1075
00:48:23,955 --> 00:48:25,399
He said that I could keep my job,
1076
00:48:25,424 --> 00:48:27,543
he said that the
questioning would be over.
1077
00:48:27,568 --> 00:48:29,987
He said that I would still
be on management track.
1078
00:48:30,012 --> 00:48:32,051
Did you know that Benji gets a bonus
1079
00:48:32,076 --> 00:48:33,964
for every employee he gets to confess?
1080
00:48:33,989 --> 00:48:36,028
Objection. No foundation.
1081
00:48:36,053 --> 00:48:38,012
Uh, that is definitely sustained.
1082
00:48:38,037 --> 00:48:39,987
Okay, um, I think
1083
00:48:40,012 --> 00:48:41,698
I'm ready to rule on this motion.
1084
00:48:41,768 --> 00:48:43,989
Uh, Your Honor, I'd
like to cross-examine.
1085
00:48:44,014 --> 00:48:45,481
This is not a full trial.
1086
00:48:45,506 --> 00:48:47,085
This is merely a motion to dismiss.
1087
00:48:47,110 --> 00:48:49,426
Yeah, I know, but this information
just came into our hands.
1088
00:48:49,451 --> 00:48:51,847
We were hoping to use
it at trial, but...
1089
00:48:51,872 --> 00:48:54,005
we think we can save the
court a lot of time and money
1090
00:48:54,030 --> 00:48:56,506
if we could ask it now.
1091
00:48:56,864 --> 00:49:00,028
- I... am enticed.
- Thank you, Your Honor.
1092
00:49:01,525 --> 00:49:04,684
Mr. Gwinn, where did
you work before BMI?
1093
00:49:04,709 --> 00:49:06,301
Various places. I worked as a temp.
1094
00:49:06,326 --> 00:49:08,786
And was one these places
Tolleson Accounting?
1095
00:49:08,811 --> 00:49:11,059
- Yes.
- You had a clerical job there?
1096
00:49:11,084 --> 00:49:12,673
Uh-huh.
1097
00:49:12,698 --> 00:49:14,208
Uh-huh...
1098
00:49:14,233 --> 00:49:16,091
I'll take that as a yes.
1099
00:49:16,116 --> 00:49:18,455
And were you asked to leave?
1100
00:49:18,807 --> 00:49:20,714
- I didn't do it.
- Yeah.
1101
00:49:20,739 --> 00:49:22,597
I think you know what's coming, Frank.
1102
00:49:22,622 --> 00:49:24,685
There was a petty cash situation,
1103
00:49:24,710 --> 00:49:26,800
several hundred dollars?
1104
00:49:27,433 --> 00:49:29,262
And were you accused of taking it?
1105
00:49:29,287 --> 00:49:30,496
I told them I didn't take it.
1106
00:49:30,521 --> 00:49:31,715
But you agreed to leave
1107
00:49:31,740 --> 00:49:32,935
if they didn't call the cops?
1108
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:34,872
Objection, there is no record of this.
1109
00:49:34,897 --> 00:49:37,419
Our investigators
questioned this business.
1110
00:49:37,444 --> 00:49:40,044
Yes, because the manager at the time
1111
00:49:40,069 --> 00:49:41,732
talked only to our investigator,
1112
00:49:41,757 --> 00:49:44,159
and signed this affidavit.
1113
00:49:44,184 --> 00:49:45,339
I didn't do it.
1114
00:49:45,364 --> 00:49:47,143
In it, he swears that
Frank took the money,
1115
00:49:47,168 --> 00:49:49,314
then when he was caught,
promised to return it
1116
00:49:49,339 --> 00:49:50,993
if they kept the theft secret.
1117
00:49:51,018 --> 00:49:52,065
That's a lie!
1118
00:49:52,090 --> 00:49:53,759
That's a complete and total lie.
1119
00:49:54,317 --> 00:49:56,037
Okay. That is information
1120
00:49:56,062 --> 00:49:57,833
I will take into consideration.
1121
00:49:57,858 --> 00:49:59,572
Does the defendant
have any more questions?
1122
00:49:59,597 --> 00:50:00,701
Nothing more, Your Honor.
1123
00:50:00,726 --> 00:50:02,701
Unless the plaintiff has anything more,
1124
00:50:02,726 --> 00:50:04,732
I will rule on this motion.
1125
00:50:09,717 --> 00:50:11,709
I hate losing.
1126
00:50:13,387 --> 00:50:14,945
It was a good effort.
1127
00:50:15,637 --> 00:50:17,609
Does this impact the class?
1128
00:50:17,634 --> 00:50:20,219
Yes, unfortunately.
1129
00:50:20,244 --> 00:50:23,133
The litigation financiers dropped out.
1130
00:50:23,534 --> 00:50:25,443
I thought he was telling the truth.
1131
00:50:25,468 --> 00:50:26,727
Well, maybe he was.
1132
00:50:26,752 --> 00:50:28,346
About the running shoes.
1133
00:50:28,371 --> 00:50:32,057
You know, people can lie and
still be telling the truth.
1134
00:50:32,091 --> 00:50:35,190
Nobody's a hundred
percent of any one thing.
1135
00:50:38,075 --> 00:50:40,695
My mom lied about her cancer.
1136
00:50:42,612 --> 00:50:45,384
It was a scare. It wasn't real.
1137
00:50:45,853 --> 00:50:48,151
She just wanted to see me.
1138
00:50:52,035 --> 00:50:54,179
She's lonely.
1139
00:50:55,310 --> 00:50:58,078
People get desperate
when they're lonely.
1140
00:50:58,809 --> 00:51:01,099
You should go see her.
1141
00:51:07,035 --> 00:51:08,726
Mom?
1142
00:51:14,183 --> 00:51:15,835
Mom?
1143
00:51:19,682 --> 00:51:21,749
Maia, what are you doing?
1144
00:51:21,774 --> 00:51:23,563
I wanted to see how you were.
1145
00:51:23,588 --> 00:51:26,155
Good. I was just going to bed.
1146
00:51:27,536 --> 00:51:29,108
What's wrong?
1147
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,575
Why don't we have breakfast tomorrow?
1148
00:51:33,892 --> 00:51:36,161
Whose car is that outside?
1149
00:51:36,186 --> 00:51:38,747
Just the painters were here
yesterday. They left one.
1150
00:51:38,772 --> 00:51:40,822
Where's the tea, Lenore?
1151
00:51:45,407 --> 00:51:47,590
It's not a good time.
1152
00:51:49,616 --> 00:51:51,076
Hi, Uncle Jax.
1153
00:51:51,786 --> 00:51:56,403
