1
00:00:04,906 --> 00:00:07,898
I hold a family's future in my hands...

2
00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:11,537
Not in theory, not indirectly.

3
00:00:11,562 --> 00:00:15,187
What I say and how I say it
will determine the life they have.

4
00:00:16,407 --> 00:00:18,257
This is Edgar Soriano.

5
00:00:19,859 --> 00:00:21,469
And this is the high school
where he worked

6
00:00:21,493 --> 00:00:23,781
as a custodian for 15 years.

7
00:00:24,484 --> 00:00:26,809
This is his wife, Maria,

8
00:00:26,834 --> 00:00:29,098
who now supports the family
by working double shifts

9
00:00:29,123 --> 00:00:30,812
since Edgar got sick.

10
00:00:31,742 --> 00:00:33,657
And this is their daughter, Eva,

11
00:00:33,682 --> 00:00:35,117
who plans to go to medical school

12
00:00:35,142 --> 00:00:36,914
so she can cure her dad.

13
00:00:37,618 --> 00:00:39,523
Edgar is my client.

14
00:00:39,548 --> 00:00:42,195
It's my job to find him justice.

15
00:00:42,474 --> 00:00:43,804
Everyone likes to talk about

16
00:00:43,829 --> 00:00:46,322
how this kind of work
is noble or rewarding,

17
00:00:46,347 --> 00:00:49,109
but what they don't tell you is,

18
00:00:49,462 --> 00:00:51,046
if you lose,

19
00:00:53,267 --> 00:00:54,765
it destroys you.

20
00:00:57,173 --> 00:01:00,500
_

21
00:01:00,525 --> 00:01:03,034
Mr. Davis, before we begin,
would you like some water?

22
00:01:03,059 --> 00:01:04,819
Anything at all to make
you more comfortable?

23
00:01:04,844 --> 00:01:05,984
No.

24
00:01:06,810 --> 00:01:09,606
Mr. Davis, in your complaint,
you stated that

25
00:01:09,631 --> 00:01:12,218
you have chewed Kentucky Red
tobacco since you were 14.

26
00:01:12,243 --> 00:01:14,757
During that time, did you ever
use a competitor's product?

27
00:01:15,420 --> 00:01:16,508
Sometimes.

28
00:01:16,533 --> 00:01:18,318
But you believe that Kentucky Red

29
00:01:18,343 --> 00:01:20,264
is the reason for your throat dysphagia?

30
00:01:20,289 --> 00:01:21,757
- I do.
- Mr. Davis,

31
00:01:21,782 --> 00:01:23,852
have you been tested for
sexually transmitted diseases?

32
00:01:23,876 --> 00:01:25,865
- Hang on now...
- Untreated STDs

33
00:01:25,890 --> 00:01:27,562
are a known cause of his illness.

34
00:01:27,587 --> 00:01:28,956
I just wanna know if he's been tested.

35
00:01:28,980 --> 00:01:31,554
I don't need to be tested.
I'm happily married.

36
00:01:31,579 --> 00:01:33,959
Mr. Davis, are you aware your
wife has had three affairs

37
00:01:33,984 --> 00:01:35,382
in the last ten years?

38
00:01:35,470 --> 00:01:37,584
Counsel, if you're
planning to attack this woman

39
00:01:37,609 --> 00:01:38,938
- I will end this deposition...
- Mr. Davis,

40
00:01:38,962 --> 00:01:41,377
is it possible any of
the prostitutes you visited

41
00:01:41,402 --> 00:01:42,814
in the last ten years could've given you

42
00:01:42,838 --> 00:01:44,164
a sexually transmitted disease?

43
00:01:44,189 --> 00:01:45,860
Okay, we are done here, Ms. Strait.

44
00:01:45,885 --> 00:01:47,041
Yes, we are.

45
00:01:55,808 --> 00:01:57,723
You really do look down on us.

46
00:01:59,307 --> 00:02:01,445
I thought that was just
a figure of speech.

47
00:02:02,930 --> 00:02:06,272
Carla, what part of "my
father isn't welcome here"

48
00:02:06,297 --> 00:02:07,593
didn't you understand?

49
00:02:10,779 --> 00:02:13,031
The part where your mother dies.

50
00:02:18,247 --> 00:02:19,442
What?

51
00:02:25,509 --> 00:02:27,270
I don't know if I can do this.

52
00:02:28,188 --> 00:02:30,083
I'm serious, Bri.

53
00:02:30,108 --> 00:02:33,175
I mean, five days ago,

54
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,137
Mom and I are having lunch and laughing

55
00:02:35,162 --> 00:02:36,856
at all the horrible dates I'm going on,

56
00:02:36,881 --> 00:02:39,567
and now she's just gone from a stroke.

57
00:02:40,176 --> 00:02:41,919
When my mother passed,

58
00:02:41,944 --> 00:02:45,278
my best friend was with
me every step of the way.

59
00:02:45,551 --> 00:02:48,090
I intend on doing the
same thing for her.

60
00:02:52,689 --> 00:02:54,015
Okay.

61
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,763
My wife was my light.

62
00:02:57,510 --> 00:02:59,513
And, uh,

63
00:03:00,250 --> 00:03:03,451
terrifies me to think that she's gone.

64
00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:07,937
I remember,
I think it was our second date,

65
00:03:07,962 --> 00:03:08,962
I...

66
00:03:09,538 --> 00:03:11,966
I just finished telling her
how impressive I was gonna be

67
00:03:11,991 --> 00:03:13,732
as a big money lawyer.

68
00:03:13,861 --> 00:03:16,516
And she gave me that stare...

69
00:03:16,541 --> 00:03:18,499
That Carolyn stare that

70
00:03:18,524 --> 00:03:20,583
our daughter Sydney inherited.

71
00:03:25,236 --> 00:03:27,962
She said, "Why measure yourself by money

72
00:03:27,987 --> 00:03:30,169
when you have a chance
to change the world?"

73
00:03:37,736 --> 00:03:40,771
So, uh, that's the infamous Sydney.

74
00:03:41,535 --> 00:03:43,224
You two stay in touch?

75
00:03:43,677 --> 00:03:44,724
Nah.

76
00:03:45,113 --> 00:03:46,967
I haven't talked to her
since the day she walked out

77
00:03:46,991 --> 00:03:48,201
three years ago.

78
00:03:55,655 --> 00:03:57,693
Your mother gave me updates

79
00:03:58,366 --> 00:04:00,281
every week she saw you.

80
00:04:00,904 --> 00:04:02,580
Me too.

81
00:04:05,642 --> 00:04:07,873
She'd get a kick out of
this, wouldn't she?

82
00:04:08,642 --> 00:04:11,451
Two of us sitting here on the porch.

83
00:04:12,566 --> 00:04:14,829
Especially this quietly.

84
00:04:19,044 --> 00:04:20,677
Can I show you something?

85
00:04:29,744 --> 00:04:31,123
What do you think?

86
00:04:31,943 --> 00:04:33,879
I think there's a reason

87
00:04:33,904 --> 00:04:36,996
Amerifarm is 66 and 0 in
lawsuits against Greencoat.

88
00:04:37,021 --> 00:04:39,185
68 and 0. They won two more last week.

89
00:04:39,210 --> 00:04:41,287
- Oh.
- Seriously.

90
00:04:41,312 --> 00:04:43,318
You work for these companies now...

91
00:04:43,556 --> 00:04:45,248
You mean the dark side?

92
00:04:45,586 --> 00:04:47,318
You know how they think.

93
00:04:48,590 --> 00:04:50,958
Tell me. How would you beat me?

94
00:04:52,811 --> 00:04:54,290
Part of a class-action?

95
00:04:54,315 --> 00:04:57,076
86 clients. 24 states.

96
00:04:58,126 --> 00:04:59,302
Okay.

97
00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:02,310
First thing I'd do is avoid your client.

98
00:05:02,335 --> 00:05:03,732
I'd scour the 86,

99
00:05:03,757 --> 00:05:05,842
find someone who plays like
he's in it for the money,

100
00:05:05,867 --> 00:05:07,591
make him the face for the jury.

101
00:05:07,616 --> 00:05:09,488
Then I'd drag you into a war of experts.

102
00:05:09,513 --> 00:05:11,297
Mine would be EPA certified,

103
00:05:11,322 --> 00:05:13,498
and yours would be "guns for hire."

104
00:05:13,523 --> 00:05:16,333
And finally, I'd nail you on causation.

105
00:05:17,559 --> 00:05:19,073
"Prove Greencoat made him sick."

106
00:05:19,098 --> 00:05:22,357
You won't be able to,
and Amerifarm will be 69 and 0.

107
00:05:23,004 --> 00:05:26,365
I'm sorry. You just... you can't win.

108
00:05:28,362 --> 00:05:30,724
Could you... win?

109
00:05:31,353 --> 00:05:34,310
If you were representing the Sorianos,

110
00:05:35,028 --> 00:05:36,551
could you win this case?

111
00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:40,138
I want you to come back
to the firm, Sydney.

112
00:05:40,162 --> 00:05:41,513
Dad.

113
00:05:41,538 --> 00:05:43,663
I want you fighting for what's right.

114
00:05:43,688 --> 00:05:45,402
Yes, by my side.

115
00:05:45,427 --> 00:05:47,169
It's where you belong. We both know it.

116
00:05:47,194 --> 00:05:48,412
Your mom did too.

117
00:05:48,437 --> 00:05:49,960
I appreciate the offer,

118
00:05:49,985 --> 00:05:52,857
but there's a reason it was
a disaster the first time.

119
00:05:52,882 --> 00:05:55,708
We're both alphas.
Two alphas just don't mix.

120
00:05:55,733 --> 00:05:57,116
Not to mention we're total opposites

121
00:05:57,140 --> 00:05:58,802
with how we do the job...
You're conservative.

122
00:05:58,826 --> 00:05:59,888
- I wage war.
- Strengths.

123
00:05:59,913 --> 00:06:01,678
Our differences could be
our strengths this time.

124
00:06:01,702 --> 00:06:03,318
- You're serious.
- For 35 years,

125
00:06:03,343 --> 00:06:06,177
I've had some of the best legal
minds pass through my office,

126
00:06:06,202 --> 00:06:07,725
and one of the brightest?

127
00:06:07,750 --> 00:06:10,341
- I let walk away.
- I don't like you, Dad.

128
00:06:12,086 --> 00:06:14,262
Have you forgotten that?

129
00:06:14,846 --> 00:06:16,500
I can't just ignore how you treated me

130
00:06:16,525 --> 00:06:17,961
when we worked together.

131
00:06:17,986 --> 00:06:19,530
And I'm not gonna forgive
you for all the years

132
00:06:19,554 --> 00:06:21,357
that you cheated on mom.

133
00:06:22,456 --> 00:06:24,701
I don't see a hero. I see a hypocrite.

134
00:06:24,726 --> 00:06:26,880
Well, that's no reason
to become some vampire

135
00:06:26,905 --> 00:06:29,279
selling justice to the highest bidder.

136
00:06:29,304 --> 00:06:31,458
You hate me? Fine.

137
00:06:32,084 --> 00:06:33,896
You're never gonna forgive me.

138
00:06:34,776 --> 00:06:35,932
Okay.

139
00:06:36,341 --> 00:06:37,779
Get back in the fight, Sydney.

140
00:06:37,804 --> 00:06:39,591
If not with me, somewhere else.

141
00:06:39,616 --> 00:06:41,111
Because in case you haven't noticed,

142
00:06:41,136 --> 00:06:42,790
the world's running out of heroes.

143
00:06:43,005 --> 00:06:44,774
Why would it be any different?

144
00:06:44,799 --> 00:06:47,169
If I came back,
why would it be any different?

145
00:06:47,194 --> 00:06:48,576
You are Elijah Strait.

146
00:06:48,601 --> 00:06:50,817
You are beloved and
famous in your field.

147
00:06:50,842 --> 00:06:52,713
People like you don't just change, Dad.

148
00:06:52,738 --> 00:06:55,161
- Why would you even try?
- Because, wh...

149
00:06:57,467 --> 00:06:59,232
When you lose the love of your life,

150
00:06:59,257 --> 00:07:00,818
you realize that...

151
00:07:02,598 --> 00:07:04,395
that you don't wanna
miss even one moment

152
00:07:04,420 --> 00:07:06,021

Strait & Associates. One moment.

160
00:07:51,791 --> 00:07:52,852
Thank you.

161
00:07:53,365 --> 00:07:55,555
Guess hell froze over, huh?

162
00:07:57,843 --> 00:07:58,944
Come here.

163
00:07:58,969 --> 00:08:01,801
- Aww, Della.
- Oh.

164
00:08:02,051 --> 00:08:04,563
Your mom is smiling down right now,
you know that?

165
00:08:04,588 --> 00:08:06,821
I'm gonna have to get on
the horn with Vanderbilt,

166
00:08:06,846 --> 00:08:09,540
tell them their top two students
are back on the same side.

167
00:08:09,710 --> 00:08:11,438
Just so we're clear... one, two.

168
00:08:11,463 --> 00:08:13,079
Only 'cause I helped you in Con Law.

169
00:08:13,104 --> 00:08:14,683
You keep telling yourself that.

170
00:08:15,791 --> 00:08:17,657
Hey, I heard you had another daughter.

171
00:08:17,682 --> 00:08:18,682
Four to one.

172
00:08:18,708 --> 00:08:19,970
I'm outnumbered in my own house.

173
00:08:19,994 --> 00:08:22,251
His girls are a delight.

174
00:08:22,276 --> 00:08:24,690
You only say that 'cause you
get to leave after you babysit,

175
00:08:24,715 --> 00:08:25,923
which reminds me, Aunt Della,

176
00:08:25,948 --> 00:08:28,102
is it you or your wife who's
been bringing over ice cream?

177
00:08:28,126 --> 00:08:31,507
Anthony, I'm a sixth
generation woman of the South.

178
00:08:31,532 --> 00:08:34,968
Spoiling other people's
children is in my DNA.

179
00:08:36,233 --> 00:08:38,219
- Yeah, that's her.
- Oh, Sydney.

180
00:08:38,636 --> 00:08:40,087
Meet Emerson.

181
00:08:40,390 --> 00:08:43,176
Paralegal, assistant,
and all around in-house genius.

182
00:08:43,363 --> 00:08:45,241
Yeah, it's, um,
nice to finally meet you.

183
00:08:45,266 --> 00:08:47,188
You too. Anyone that...

184
00:08:48,344 --> 00:08:50,346
He's an acquired taste.

185
00:08:50,371 --> 00:08:51,371
Ah.

186
00:08:55,334 --> 00:08:56,597
Have the calls started?

187
00:08:56,622 --> 00:08:58,673
Calls? What calls?

188
00:08:58,698 --> 00:09:00,493
Oh, I bet an hour after news got out,

189
00:09:00,518 --> 00:09:02,087
your phone was ringing off the hook.

190
00:09:02,112 --> 00:09:04,266
"Elijah's bringing back his daughter.

191
00:09:04,291 --> 00:09:07,033
What does that mean for a
rainmaker like you, Jake?"

192
00:09:07,058 --> 00:09:09,454
In fairness,
they weren't as eloquent as that.

193
00:09:09,907 --> 00:09:11,391
Give me 30 days.

194
00:09:12,392 --> 00:09:14,344
After that,
if you feel Sydney being here

195
00:09:14,369 --> 00:09:16,165
compromises you in any way,

196
00:09:16,190 --> 00:09:18,352
I'll make sure you get a
job at any firm you want.

197
00:09:18,377 --> 00:09:20,118
Can I use the 30 days to start places

198
00:09:20,143 --> 00:09:22,359
bidding against each other,
drive my price up?

199
00:09:22,384 --> 00:09:24,555
I'd be disappointed if you didn't.

200
00:09:25,301 --> 00:09:26,842
But in the meantime,

201
00:09:26,867 --> 00:09:29,040
I found that in Carolyn's study.

202
00:09:29,065 --> 00:09:31,586
It's a teacher she thought
was wrongfully convicted

203
00:09:31,611 --> 00:09:32,960
of killing a student.

204
00:09:32,985 --> 00:09:34,673
You know how she was.

205
00:09:35,248 --> 00:09:37,380
Memphis Saint of Lost Causes.

206
00:09:37,405 --> 00:09:39,594
Why me? I mean,
I haven't done a criminal case

207
00:09:39,619 --> 00:09:41,079
since before I worked for you.

208
00:09:41,104 --> 00:09:42,305
I don't know.

209
00:09:43,220 --> 00:09:45,548
But if there's one thing
my wife was a genius at,

210
00:09:45,573 --> 00:09:47,844
it was matching people to a purpose.

211
00:09:49,998 --> 00:09:52,118
- The Sorianos are here.
- Mm.

212
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,376
Mean a lot if you took a look, Jake.

213
00:09:59,439 --> 00:10:01,048
And in the final phase of the trial,

214
00:10:01,073 --> 00:10:03,444
we'll present evidence as
to loss of quality of life.

215
00:10:03,469 --> 00:10:06,696
We'll call on your friends,
Maria, and Eva,

216
00:10:06,721 --> 00:10:08,024
if you're still up for it.

217
00:10:08,415 --> 00:10:10,886
Okay, then. That's everything.

218
00:10:10,911 --> 00:10:12,494
The trial itself will
take about ten weeks,

219
00:10:12,518 --> 00:10:15,079
but still on track for
a Spring 2020 start.

220
00:10:17,265 --> 00:10:18,540
Edgar,

221
00:10:19,641 --> 00:10:21,338
something we should know?

222
00:10:21,363 --> 00:10:25,118
My tumors have spread faster
than the doctors anticipated.

223
00:10:25,143 --> 00:10:27,259
They've revised their timeline.

224
00:10:29,277 --> 00:10:30,938
We're very sorry to hear that.

225
00:10:30,963 --> 00:10:33,532
Is there any way we can
move the trial to this year?

226
00:10:33,557 --> 00:10:36,454
Unfortunately, trials like
this can only move so fast...

227
00:10:36,479 --> 00:10:39,501
Unless we switch to
the alternate strategy.

228
00:10:43,474 --> 00:10:44,920
The alternate strategy.

229
00:10:44,945 --> 00:10:47,134
We start by breaking
from the class action

230
00:10:47,159 --> 00:10:49,850
and file individually
for an expedited trial

231
00:10:49,875 --> 00:10:51,736
due to your new prognosis.

232
00:10:54,737 --> 00:10:56,805
Then we pare the case down.

233
00:10:56,830 --> 00:10:58,804
Instead of telling our
story in three months,

234
00:10:58,829 --> 00:11:01,938
we tell it in three weeks,
focusing on three keys.

235
00:11:04,016 --> 00:11:06,333
Key one is you.

236
00:11:06,532 --> 00:11:07,858
I think a jury will love you.

237
00:11:07,883 --> 00:11:10,626
I want them to hear your
story in your words.

238
00:11:13,208 --> 00:11:15,694
In politics, they say it's
not the crime that gets you.

239
00:11:15,719 --> 00:11:17,069
It's the cover-up, so...

240
00:11:17,094 --> 00:11:19,327
We show that Amerifarm
engaged in deliberate,

241
00:11:19,352 --> 00:11:21,478
and malicious cover-up of
debates, reports,

242
00:11:21,503 --> 00:11:23,178
anything at all that
suggests that they knew

243
00:11:23,202 --> 00:11:25,202
Greencoat was dangerous...
Am I going too fast?

244
00:11:25,847 --> 00:11:27,038
No.

245
00:11:28,641 --> 00:11:31,426
Once the jury is convinced
there's been a cover-up,

246
00:11:31,451 --> 00:11:34,678
we call our expert witnesses
and we keep our message simple.

247
00:11:34,703 --> 00:11:37,077
Greencoat can cause cancer.

248
00:11:37,102 --> 00:11:38,889
Amerifarm hid that.

249
00:11:39,358 --> 00:11:41,175
Let's the jury connect the dots.

250
00:11:41,514 --> 00:11:43,264
And I would get to testify?

251
00:11:43,289 --> 00:11:44,842
If we break from the class action,

252
00:11:44,867 --> 00:11:46,733
your trial could start
in a matter of weeks.

253
00:11:46,758 --> 00:11:48,984
Without all the resources
and protections

254
00:11:49,009 --> 00:11:50,358
that a class action brings,

255
00:11:50,383 --> 00:11:51,914
including bargaining
power for a settlement.

256
00:11:51,938 --> 00:11:55,295
Do we wanna settle, or do we wanna win?

257
00:12:01,561 --> 00:12:03,085
- Thank you.
- Thanks again.

258
00:12:03,110 --> 00:12:05,670
Of course. We'll talk soon.

259
00:12:06,294 --> 00:12:08,961
- Sydney, a word in my office.
- Sure.

260
00:12:10,751 --> 00:12:12,147
How bad?

261
00:12:12,386 --> 00:12:13,953
Two hours.

262
00:12:13,978 --> 00:12:16,106
She's been here two hours,
and already she's upended

263
00:12:16,131 --> 00:12:17,908
two years worth of work.

264
00:12:26,803 --> 00:12:29,851
Mr. James, as head
of research for Amerifarm,

265
00:12:29,876 --> 00:12:34,460
you oversaw 143 safety
studies of Greencoat.

266
00:12:34,485 --> 00:12:37,250
But you presented only
80 of those to the FDA

267
00:12:37,275 --> 00:12:38,537
when applied for approval.

268
00:12:38,562 --> 00:12:39,960
Why not present all the studies?

269
00:12:39,985 --> 00:12:41,602
Well, some were inconclusive.

270
00:12:41,627 --> 00:12:43,772
The data in others contained errors...

271
00:12:43,797 --> 00:12:45,842
- How'd you know it was an error?
- Excuse me?

272
00:12:45,867 --> 00:12:47,782
How did you know it was an error?

273
00:12:47,807 --> 00:12:49,507
- Not really sure I...
- Well, when you say "error,"

274
00:12:49,531 --> 00:12:51,600
what you actually mean is
a result that didn't fit

275
00:12:51,625 --> 00:12:54,038
your mandate to show
Greencoat was safe, is it not?

276
00:12:54,063 --> 00:12:55,542
You're twisting my words.

277
00:12:55,567 --> 00:12:57,499
No, sir. Your words are twisted.

278
00:12:57,789 --> 00:13:00,055
On the right is the paper
presented by you,

279
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,724
a world-respected
biopharmacological researcher,

280
00:13:02,749 --> 00:13:04,538
in which you declare
the active ingredient

281
00:13:04,563 --> 00:13:06,920
in Greencoat to be
harmless to human beings.

282
00:13:07,310 --> 00:13:09,108
And on the left is the same paper,

283
00:13:09,133 --> 00:13:11,396
written eight weeks earlier not by you,

284
00:13:11,421 --> 00:13:12,988
but by Mrs. Sally Jenkins,

285
00:13:13,013 --> 00:13:15,491
a marketing executive for Amerifarm.

286
00:13:16,270 --> 00:13:18,436
Is it fair to say she
wrote this report for you?

287
00:13:18,707 --> 00:13:20,233
She gave input.

288
00:13:20,258 --> 00:13:23,697
In fact, the only change you
made was to add your signature.

289
00:13:24,193 --> 00:13:25,694
Wasn't it?

290
00:13:26,845 --> 00:13:28,256
That's correct.

291
00:13:28,945 --> 00:13:30,139
Hm.

292
00:13:30,952 --> 00:13:32,842
"If I can get this one thrown out,

293
00:13:32,867 --> 00:13:35,739
they'll have to save
me a corner office."

294
00:13:35,764 --> 00:13:38,163
Then you added a little
smiley face there at the end.

295
00:13:38,678 --> 00:13:41,096
It was written in jest.
It was simply a joke.

296
00:13:41,121 --> 00:13:42,327
I'm sure.

297
00:13:42,551 --> 00:13:45,405
Your current job, sir,
as a director of the EPA

298
00:13:45,430 --> 00:13:47,022
carries with it the responsibility

299
00:13:47,047 --> 00:13:49,061
of protecting average citizens

300
00:13:49,086 --> 00:13:51,413
from exposure to toxic materials,
does it not?

301
00:13:51,585 --> 00:13:53,452
- It does.
- True or false.

302
00:13:53,477 --> 00:13:55,067
The report you were getting thrown out

303
00:13:55,092 --> 00:13:57,659
was actually a study
that suggests a link

304
00:13:57,684 --> 00:14:00,898
between Greencoat and
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,

305
00:14:00,923 --> 00:14:03,202
the disease Edgar Soriano has?

306
00:14:03,227 --> 00:14:06,038
- True, but that report d...
- True or false.

307
00:14:06,063 --> 00:14:08,599
Your email bragging about
getting this same report

308
00:14:08,624 --> 00:14:12,587
thrown out was written to
a current executive at Amerifarm?

309
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,194
True.

310
00:14:16,354 --> 00:14:18,404
That corner office you have
waiting for you at Amerifarm,

311
00:14:18,428 --> 00:14:19,520
does it have a nice view?

312
00:14:19,545 --> 00:14:21,074
Objection, Your Honor.

313
00:14:21,099 --> 00:14:23,655
Withdrawn. Nothing further, Your Honor.

314
00:14:25,804 --> 00:14:28,717
_

315
00:14:34,579 --> 00:14:36,045
Mr. Bell.

316
00:14:36,698 --> 00:14:38,020
Hi. Jake Reilly.

317
00:14:38,045 --> 00:14:39,788
I'm an attorney at Strait & Associates.

318
00:14:39,813 --> 00:14:42,520
Oh, as in, Elijah Strait?

319
00:14:42,545 --> 00:14:45,403
Yeah, I was actually given
your name by his wife, Carolyn.

320
00:14:45,428 --> 00:14:46,690
- Did you know her?
- Mm.

321
00:14:46,715 --> 00:14:49,303
No, just him, from seeing him in papers.

322
00:14:49,470 --> 00:14:52,299
But... this is great.

323
00:14:52,324 --> 00:14:53,967
Elijah Strait.

324
00:14:54,294 --> 00:14:55,294
He...

325
00:14:55,531 --> 00:14:57,664
Well, he's handled some of
the biggest civil rights cases

326
00:14:57,688 --> 00:14:59,609
- in the past 20 years.
- That's right.

327
00:14:59,634 --> 00:15:01,153
- And that's what this is.
- Mm-hmm.

328
00:15:01,178 --> 00:15:03,444
This is a violation of my civil rights.

329
00:15:03,469 --> 00:15:06,553
- Kay, well, Mr. Bell, we...
- Not just a petty complaint.

330
00:15:06,728 --> 00:15:08,842
Not a nuisance lawsuit.

331
00:15:09,365 --> 00:15:11,758
This is about more than applesauce.

332
00:15:17,358 --> 00:15:19,013
- Applesauce?
- Yeah.

333
00:15:19,038 --> 00:15:20,525
See, for the past ten years,

334
00:15:20,550 --> 00:15:22,770
FCI has been serving
world-class applesauce.

335
00:15:22,795 --> 00:15:25,270
I mean, I'm talking little
plastic tubs of heaven.

336
00:15:25,295 --> 00:15:27,575
Six months ago? They stop.

337
00:15:27,619 --> 00:15:29,217
"Budgets cuts," they said.

338
00:15:30,140 --> 00:15:31,796
But I know better.

339
00:15:33,328 --> 00:15:36,772
Mr. Bell, I'm not here
about applesauce, okay?

340
00:15:36,797 --> 00:15:39,214
I'm here because even a
cursory look at your trial

341
00:15:39,239 --> 00:15:42,374
shows that you have
several grounds for appeal.

342
00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:44,074
Now Carolyn Strait felt that
there was something wrong...

343
00:15:44,098 --> 00:15:45,764
Okay, okay.

344
00:15:46,140 --> 00:15:48,780
Let me just save you the shoe leather,
pretty boy.

345
00:15:49,721 --> 00:15:52,122
There's no pot of gold at
the end of this rainbow.

346
00:15:53,844 --> 00:15:55,413
I'm guilty.

347
00:16:01,270 --> 00:16:02,538
Thank you.

348
00:16:09,588 --> 00:16:11,381
_

349
00:16:16,855 --> 00:16:18,717
Emerson said you were looking for me.

350
00:16:18,742 --> 00:16:20,135
Yeah, any idea why your mom

351
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,301
wanted me to work on the
George Bell murder case?

352
00:16:22,326 --> 00:16:23,718
I don't understand.

353
00:16:23,743 --> 00:16:25,387
I thought this guy
admitted he was guilty.

354
00:16:25,412 --> 00:16:26,679
You really think your mom would have

355
00:16:26,703 --> 00:16:29,686
a file on the guy
if it were that simple?

356
00:16:31,248 --> 00:16:34,561
So word around the office
is that your ex-husband

357
00:16:34,586 --> 00:16:36,436
is the Chief of Detectives.

358
00:16:37,384 --> 00:16:39,326
I was hoping you could introduce us.

359
00:16:40,823 --> 00:16:42,825
Ah, there's...
there's things in the investigation

360
00:16:42,850 --> 00:16:43,879
that don't make sense,

361
00:16:43,904 --> 00:16:47,253
so a look at the actual police
files would go a long way.

362
00:16:47,944 --> 00:16:50,364
- Are you two not on good terms?
- No, no, we're fine.

363
00:16:50,389 --> 00:16:53,834
We just had a...
a strict no work lines crossed policy.

364
00:16:53,859 --> 00:16:56,253
I assume that died with the marriage?

365
00:16:57,895 --> 00:17:00,225
- That's charming.
- Thank you.

366
00:17:01,582 --> 00:17:02,975
Thank you.

367
00:17:04,766 --> 00:17:06,326
Hey, Robbie.

368
00:17:09,443 --> 00:17:10,795
How you holding up?

369
00:17:11,574 --> 00:17:13,592
Some days are better than others.

370
00:17:14,408 --> 00:17:16,733
- Jake, is it?
- Yeah.

371
00:17:17,209 --> 00:17:18,413
Thought you said you
were gonna come alone.

372
00:17:18,437 --> 00:17:20,115
Jake is lead on the case,

373
00:17:20,140 --> 00:17:22,443
so he's the one that
needs to see the files.

374
00:17:23,865 --> 00:17:24,997
Come by tomorrow?

375
00:17:25,022 --> 00:17:26,720
- Mm-hmm.
- Say 3:00?

376
00:17:26,745 --> 00:17:28,444
I'll have them waiting for you,
but they don't leave my office.

377
00:17:28,468 --> 00:17:30,035
- Absolutely.
- Kay.

378
00:17:30,163 --> 00:17:31,967
Thank you, Robbie.

379
00:17:32,848 --> 00:17:35,420
I'm doing this 'cause I loved your mom,

380
00:17:35,773 --> 00:17:38,254
so as far as I'm concerned,
she's the one asking.

381
00:17:41,962 --> 00:17:42,962
Okay.

382
00:17:46,061 --> 00:17:47,489
Yeah, now it makes sense.

383
00:17:47,514 --> 00:17:49,647
- What?
- Cowboy still loves you.

384
00:17:49,866 --> 00:17:51,128
That's how you saw that?

385
00:17:51,153 --> 00:17:52,372
Did you break his heart?

386
00:17:53,422 --> 00:17:54,756
You broke his heart.

387
00:17:54,781 --> 00:17:57,222
- Hi.
- <i>I got a call from Sanford.</i>

388
00:17:57,247 --> 00:17:59,217
<i>He wants to discuss a settlement.</i>

389
00:18:03,165 --> 00:18:06,883
I can carve $200,000 out of
legal fees for the Sorianos.

390
00:18:06,908 --> 00:18:08,997
Obviously, there would have to be an NDA

391
00:18:09,041 --> 00:18:10,434
and they have to drop the suit.

392
00:18:10,459 --> 00:18:12,428
200,000?

393
00:18:12,780 --> 00:18:14,826
- You're off by a couple zeroes.
- Sydney.

394
00:18:15,159 --> 00:18:18,199
Their medical expenses
alone are $400,000.

395
00:18:18,224 --> 00:18:20,144
You'd just be paying off
some of their creditors.

396
00:18:20,182 --> 00:18:21,545
Syd.

397
00:18:22,450 --> 00:18:24,191
Thomas, what's going on?

398
00:18:24,216 --> 00:18:26,555
You guys had a good week,
but you're not gonna win.

399
00:18:26,580 --> 00:18:29,235
Please tell me you didn't
just drag us out here

400
00:18:29,260 --> 00:18:31,523
to do the whole,
"I'm doing you a favor" routine.

401
00:18:31,548 --> 00:18:33,507
Otherwise,
this is a giant waste of our time...

402
00:18:33,532 --> 00:18:36,897
Sydney, either let this man talk,
or wait outside.

403
00:18:43,946 --> 00:18:45,338
My daughter doesn't always know

404
00:18:45,363 --> 00:18:47,514
when someone's trying to do a kindness.

405
00:18:47,539 --> 00:18:50,923
200K is all I can give without
Amerifarm shutting me down.

406
00:18:51,076 --> 00:18:52,939
I know you're probably gonna say no...

407
00:18:52,964 --> 00:18:54,017
But...

408
00:18:54,042 --> 00:18:55,934
You and I have been doing
this a long time, Elijah.

409
00:18:55,958 --> 00:18:58,478
We both know a man tells another man

410
00:18:58,503 --> 00:19:00,439
when the sky is about to fall.

411
00:19:02,846 --> 00:19:04,680
Next time you ask me to
walk out of a meeting,

412
00:19:04,705 --> 00:19:05,924
I'm gonna keep walking.

413
00:19:05,949 --> 00:19:07,537
You have to do something
about that anger.

414
00:19:07,561 --> 00:19:09,704
It just makes you see
everything in black and white.

415
00:19:09,729 --> 00:19:12,087
"People are complicated.
They make mistakes."

416
00:19:12,112 --> 00:19:13,734
You know,
that speech was a lot more compelling

417
00:19:13,758 --> 00:19:15,910
before I realized you were
just talking about yourself.

418
00:19:15,934 --> 00:19:17,955
Change the topic,
it's not gonna solve the problem.

419
00:19:17,979 --> 00:19:19,986
What do you suggest I do, Dad?

420
00:19:20,252 --> 00:19:22,176
Maybe check into a hotel,
blow off some steam,

421
00:19:22,201 --> 00:19:23,376
screw some of mom's friends?

422
00:19:23,401 --> 00:19:25,111
Stop, stop.

423
00:19:26,036 --> 00:19:27,747
Stop making this about me.

424
00:19:27,772 --> 00:19:30,445
If you could drop the attack
dog act for just one minute,

425
00:19:30,470 --> 00:19:33,299
wait, instead of lashing out,
just one minute,

426
00:19:33,324 --> 00:19:35,456
you'd stop thinking Sanford
was trying to screw us

427
00:19:35,481 --> 00:19:37,918
and ask yourself why is
he trying to warn us?

428
00:19:44,105 --> 00:19:46,283
- Dr. Reeger, you've spent the last...
- Your Honor.

429
00:19:46,308 --> 00:19:48,942
At this time,
we are lodging a formal objection

430
00:19:48,967 --> 00:19:50,272
to Dr. Reeger's testimony.

431
00:19:50,297 --> 00:19:52,162
She is simply not qualified to testify

432
00:19:52,187 --> 00:19:53,759
to the subject matter on trial today.

433
00:19:53,784 --> 00:19:55,033
She studies cancer.

434
00:19:55,058 --> 00:19:57,916
She has never studied Greencoat
or any similar product.

435
00:19:57,941 --> 00:20:01,486
It's like asking a blood expert
to testify about fingerprints.

436
00:20:01,511 --> 00:20:03,391
- That's absurd.
- Sustained.

437
00:20:03,416 --> 00:20:05,369
What? You can't possibly...

438
00:20:05,394 --> 00:20:07,090
The objection is sustained.

439
00:20:07,115 --> 00:20:09,048
Call your next witness, Ms. Strait.

440
00:20:10,167 --> 00:20:12,898
Dr. Chen, you have
a PhD in industrial chemistry.

441
00:20:12,923 --> 00:20:14,523
- What would...
- Objection, Your Honor.

442
00:20:14,548 --> 00:20:17,509
I'm sorry, but we have
the same problem with Dr. Chen.

443
00:20:18,196 --> 00:20:20,330
- Sustained.
- Are you kidding me?

444
00:20:21,783 --> 00:20:23,463
That's a warning, Ms. Strait.

445
00:20:27,038 --> 00:20:29,504
Mr. Lynch,
how much did Amerifarm pay you...

446
00:20:29,529 --> 00:20:30,892
Objection, Your Honor.

447
00:20:30,917 --> 00:20:32,595
- Beyond the scope.
- Sustained.

448
00:20:32,620 --> 00:20:34,944
Mr. Lynch, what did you charge
Amerifarm in the years...

449
00:20:34,969 --> 00:20:36,298
Objection. Scope.

450
00:20:36,323 --> 00:20:37,478
Sustained.

451
00:20:37,503 --> 00:20:39,299
Mr. Lynch,
what was your salary in the year...

452
00:20:39,323 --> 00:20:41,267
- Your Honor.
- Sustained.

453
00:20:41,292 --> 00:20:43,213
Ms. Strait,
do you have any relevant questions?

454
00:20:43,238 --> 00:20:44,326
Just one, Your Honor.

455
00:20:44,351 --> 00:20:46,453
How much is Amerifarm paying you?

456
00:21:06,619 --> 00:21:08,563
That's perfect, yep.

457
00:21:08,687 --> 00:21:09,687
Yep.

458
00:21:13,899 --> 00:21:15,289
You said it would work

459
00:21:15,314 --> 00:21:17,117
because you've changed, but she hasn't.

460
00:21:17,142 --> 00:21:18,750
She's reckless, she thinks she's smarter

461
00:21:18,774 --> 00:21:20,406
than everyone, and she doesn't listen.

462
00:21:20,431 --> 00:21:22,905
Blowing up in front of a jury
says we think we're losing.

463
00:21:22,930 --> 00:21:25,368
That's a terrible message to send.

464
00:21:27,900 --> 00:21:29,438
He's right.

465
00:21:34,109 --> 00:21:35,674
Well, forget about today.

466
00:21:35,699 --> 00:21:38,222
But make sure Edgar's
ready for tomorrow.

467
00:21:38,381 --> 00:21:39,948
We need an expert...

468
00:21:40,452 --> 00:21:42,534
An expert Judge Collins
cannot disqualify.

469
00:21:42,559 --> 00:21:44,035
We need to get that fast

470
00:21:44,060 --> 00:21:46,037
- 'cause we are out of witnesses.
- Let's go.

471
00:21:46,062 --> 00:21:47,237
Anthony.

472
00:21:56,050 --> 00:21:57,954
- You're not gonna talk to her?
- No.

473
00:21:57,979 --> 00:21:59,289
I can talk all I want.

474
00:21:59,314 --> 00:22:01,118
If she doesn't wanna
listen at a certain point,

475
00:22:01,142 --> 00:22:02,347
that's on her.

476
00:22:02,481 --> 00:22:05,470
That girl grew up with
a hero for a father,

477
00:22:05,495 --> 00:22:07,975
a hero she found out was all too human.

478
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,306
Every time somebody told
her how lucky she was,

479
00:22:10,331 --> 00:22:12,215
think how that pulled her apart

480
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,454
to keep your secrets behind
that beautiful smile.

481
00:22:15,479 --> 00:22:16,745
Elijah,

482
00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:19,527
you're my friend and I love you,

483
00:22:19,552 --> 00:22:21,245
but don't be an ass.

484
00:22:21,386 --> 00:22:23,338
You helped build that wall around her,

485
00:22:23,363 --> 00:22:26,112
and you will keep knocking it down.

486
00:22:36,961 --> 00:22:39,868
All this time, I told myself that I quit

487
00:22:39,893 --> 00:22:41,792
because I resented you

488
00:22:42,327 --> 00:22:44,436
for not being the man that
I thought you were.

489
00:22:45,448 --> 00:22:47,837
And because you resented
me for how I saw you.

490
00:22:47,862 --> 00:22:50,235
And... and maybe that is all true,

491
00:22:50,260 --> 00:22:52,222
but what's also true is that

492
00:22:52,247 --> 00:22:55,729
I don't think I can handle
losing on this side of the law.

493
00:22:56,409 --> 00:22:59,287
Because at my last job,
I slept like a baby.

494
00:22:59,312 --> 00:23:01,198
I mean, I...

495
00:23:01,975 --> 00:23:03,440
Sure, I wanted to win,

496
00:23:03,465 --> 00:23:06,440
but I didn't care if we lost.

497
00:23:06,465 --> 00:23:09,446
And now I look at Edgar Soriano...

498
00:23:11,455 --> 00:23:13,323
And I look at his wife...

499
00:23:13,675 --> 00:23:15,479
And his daughter.

500
00:23:20,577 --> 00:23:22,655
How do you do it, Dad?

501
00:23:23,598 --> 00:23:25,528
I mean, how do you do it?

502
00:23:27,011 --> 00:23:28,795
How do you handle the pressure

503
00:23:28,820 --> 00:23:31,403
when winning or losing means everything?

504
00:23:34,201 --> 00:23:35,681
Poorly.

505
00:23:37,962 --> 00:23:39,489
For years.

506
00:23:41,591 --> 00:23:44,071
That's how I nearly lost your mother.

507
00:23:45,098 --> 00:23:46,098
Look, Sydney.

508
00:23:46,123 --> 00:23:49,130
I don't know if we'll work as colleagues

509
00:23:49,462 --> 00:23:51,223
or as a family,

510
00:23:52,592 --> 00:23:54,419
but I do know that

511
00:23:54,879 --> 00:23:57,538
I can teach you how to
hold on to your sanity

512
00:23:57,563 --> 00:23:59,278
and do this job.

513
00:23:59,303 --> 00:24:01,020
And if you can learn how to channel

514
00:24:01,045 --> 00:24:03,239
all of this passion that you have...

515
00:24:05,491 --> 00:24:07,887
Sydney, you can change the world.

516
00:24:13,147 --> 00:24:14,434
Come on.

517
00:24:15,524 --> 00:24:17,024
Why would you say that you were guilty

518
00:24:17,048 --> 00:24:19,734
of murdering a 16-year-old
girl if you were innocent?

519
00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:21,208
You're sure?

520
00:24:22,337 --> 00:24:24,255
The witness stories don't add up.

521
00:24:24,521 --> 00:24:26,239
Timeline is wrong.

522
00:24:26,732 --> 00:24:29,561
And, Della, if I...
If I didn't know better, I...

523
00:24:29,586 --> 00:24:31,487
I'd say they actually framed this guy.

524
00:24:31,512 --> 00:24:33,381
Well, thank God Carolyn found him.

525
00:24:33,406 --> 00:24:35,384
Well, it's too bad he
doesn't want anyone's help.

526
00:24:35,427 --> 00:24:38,691
He insists that he's guilty,
which means I gotta figure out

527
00:24:38,716 --> 00:24:40,021
how to change this lunatic's mind,

528
00:24:40,045 --> 00:24:42,372
or else an innocent man is
gonna end up rotting in jail.

529
00:24:42,809 --> 00:24:43,876
What do you need?

530
00:24:43,901 --> 00:24:44,912
You can start by telling me

531
00:24:44,936 --> 00:24:47,231
why the hell Carolyn gave
me this in the first place.

532
00:24:50,432 --> 00:24:52,708
What do you need?

533
00:25:00,145 --> 00:25:02,124
- You do trust and estate law.
- Mmhmm.

534
00:25:02,149 --> 00:25:03,387
People come to you to talk about

535
00:25:03,411 --> 00:25:05,583
what happens to their
families after they die.

536
00:25:05,762 --> 00:25:08,087
The way I see it, life in prison

537
00:25:08,112 --> 00:25:09,997
is about as close to
dying as you're gonna get.

538
00:25:10,022 --> 00:25:11,817
So I'm asking you.

539
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,255
Why would George Bell lie?

540
00:25:16,144 --> 00:25:18,625
When new clients sit on this couch,

541
00:25:18,650 --> 00:25:22,101
we talk about assets, money, property,

542
00:25:22,126 --> 00:25:23,649
but after about an hour or so,

543
00:25:23,674 --> 00:25:27,939
the conversation always comes
around to the same thing.

544
00:25:27,964 --> 00:25:29,419
Legacy.

545
00:25:29,444 --> 00:25:31,020
After they're gone,

546
00:25:31,045 --> 00:25:33,808
how will their lives
have shaped the future?

547
00:25:33,833 --> 00:25:37,058
For me, that legacy is my son.

548
00:25:37,083 --> 00:25:39,684
For Elijah, it's Sydney.

549
00:25:39,709 --> 00:25:44,104
Legacy is why Edgar Soriano
has the strength to fight,

550
00:25:44,129 --> 00:25:48,176
even with tumors in
every organ of his body.

551
00:25:48,552 --> 00:25:52,223
You wanna know why
George Bell tells people he's guilty?

552
00:25:52,328 --> 00:25:55,575
Find out why he's chosen guilty

553
00:25:56,020 --> 00:25:57,630
as his legacy.

554
00:26:31,173 --> 00:26:32,436
Briana!

555
00:26:33,633 --> 00:26:35,897
Plaintiff calls Edgar Soriano.

556
00:26:36,365 --> 00:26:39,350
Mr. Soriano,
how long did you use the product?

557
00:26:39,375 --> 00:26:42,959
15 years before my illness
forced me to stop working.

558
00:26:42,984 --> 00:26:45,154
And when did you first
start having symptoms?

559
00:26:45,179 --> 00:26:46,944
After about three years.

560
00:26:46,969 --> 00:26:48,912
When you noticed your skin lesions

561
00:26:48,937 --> 00:26:50,647
weren't getting any better,

562
00:26:50,672 --> 00:26:52,844
you called Amerifarm's 800 number?

563
00:26:52,869 --> 00:26:56,662
Yes, I couldn't help but think
perhaps there was connection.

564
00:26:57,438 --> 00:26:59,934
And what did the product rep tell you?

565
00:26:59,959 --> 00:27:01,181
That they had never heard

566
00:27:01,206 --> 00:27:03,098
of anything like what I was reporting.

567
00:27:03,123 --> 00:27:04,335
So you didn't know you were actually

568
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,326
the 451st call of its kind?

569
00:27:08,471 --> 00:27:09,694
No.

570
00:27:10,010 --> 00:27:11,732
It's like, I know that
Amerifarm was referring to her,

571
00:27:11,756 --> 00:27:12,952
but I can't find her anywhere.

572
00:27:12,976 --> 00:27:14,431
I checked online databases.
I ran a search...

573
00:27:14,455 --> 00:27:16,390
You don't need to know
where she is to find her.

574
00:27:16,414 --> 00:27:18,381
You just need to know where she's been.

575
00:27:19,331 --> 00:27:20,941
Alumni relations.

576
00:27:21,438 --> 00:27:22,438
Hello?

577
00:27:22,463 --> 00:27:25,676
Yes, this is Dr. Nancy
Deemer, class of '89.

578
00:27:25,701 --> 00:27:26,912
Mr. Soriano, I

579
00:27:26,937 --> 00:27:30,413
wanna go back to the events
of November 6th, 2014.

580
00:27:30,438 --> 00:27:32,709
That was the day the
nozzle on your sprayer

581
00:27:32,734 --> 00:27:35,737
had its cataclysmic failure
and basically fell apart.

582
00:27:36,194 --> 00:27:38,498
- Yes.
- Mr. Soriano, you testified

583
00:27:38,523 --> 00:27:40,612
that when that happened,
you grabbed the hose,

584
00:27:40,637 --> 00:27:41,856
you jumped onto your vehicle,

585
00:27:41,881 --> 00:27:44,123
and you drove off while holding it,

586
00:27:44,664 --> 00:27:47,506
thereby drenching yourself from
head to toe in their product.

587
00:27:47,531 --> 00:27:48,750
Yes.

588
00:27:48,775 --> 00:27:50,771
Sir, at the risk of sounding cynical,

589
00:27:50,796 --> 00:27:53,407
please tell the jury why would
you expose yourself like that

590
00:27:53,432 --> 00:27:56,170
if you really thought
Greencoat was killing you.

591
00:27:57,986 --> 00:28:00,825
The well that fed the school's water

592
00:28:00,850 --> 00:28:02,397
was only a few yards away.

593
00:28:05,452 --> 00:28:06,669
If I would've done nothing,

594
00:28:06,694 --> 00:28:08,498
the chemical would have reached it.

595
00:28:09,995 --> 00:28:11,574
I couldn't let that happen.

596
00:28:11,943 --> 00:28:13,584
I...

597
00:28:16,465 --> 00:28:19,014
I couldn't let it reach the children.

598
00:28:29,941 --> 00:28:31,384
No further questions.

599
00:28:37,140 --> 00:28:40,423
Mr. Soriano, before we begin,
would you like some water?

600
00:28:42,145 --> 00:28:44,649
Anything at all to make
you more comfortable?

601
00:28:46,641 --> 00:28:48,040
No, thank you.

602
00:28:48,065 --> 00:28:51,829
Mr. Soriano,
you used Greencoat for 15 years.

603
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,187
Yes.

604
00:28:53,212 --> 00:28:55,923
And you believe it is the
reason you have cancer?

605
00:28:56,414 --> 00:28:57,954
Yes.

606
00:28:58,496 --> 00:29:01,165
Mr. Soriano, do you drink diet soda?

607
00:29:02,143 --> 00:29:03,399
Yes.

608
00:29:04,174 --> 00:29:06,157
Spend time in the sun?

609
00:29:07,087 --> 00:29:08,109
Yes.

610
00:29:08,134 --> 00:29:09,884
Been around secondhand smoke?

611
00:29:10,271 --> 00:29:11,490
Yes.

612
00:29:11,515 --> 00:29:13,134
Do you eat red meat?

613
00:29:13,709 --> 00:29:15,015
Yes.

614
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,172
Do you drink from plastic bottles?

615
00:29:17,641 --> 00:29:18,641
Yes.

616
00:29:18,666 --> 00:29:19,841
Mm-hmm.

617
00:29:24,026 --> 00:29:25,636
Oh, my God.

618
00:29:25,661 --> 00:29:27,576
We're not gonna win, are we?

619
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,265
Sydney!

620
00:29:35,242 --> 00:29:36,922
Emerson, what're you doing here?

621
00:29:36,947 --> 00:29:39,945
I, um, I found something

622
00:29:39,970 --> 00:29:42,945
in an email to a German
subsidiary of Amerifarm.

623
00:29:42,970 --> 00:29:44,718
It said, "Redakt/ND."

624
00:29:44,743 --> 00:29:46,414
ND, like, non-disclosure, right?

625
00:29:46,439 --> 00:29:48,020
But in German,
you don't say non-disclosure.

626
00:29:48,044 --> 00:29:49,366
You say "Geheimhaltung." So it's like...

627
00:29:49,390 --> 00:29:50,701
ND's not a term. It's a person.

628
00:29:50,726 --> 00:29:52,101
Emerson, what are you saying?

629
00:29:52,126 --> 00:29:54,939
Briana and I tracked down
a doctor that worked on Greencoat,

630
00:29:54,964 --> 00:29:56,836
and we're pretty sure she proved

631
00:29:57,227 --> 00:29:58,953
that it causes cancer.

632
00:30:04,936 --> 00:30:06,843
I was so excited about my new test,

633
00:30:06,868 --> 00:30:08,984
I wasn't paying
attention to the results.

634
00:30:09,297 --> 00:30:11,531
Before I knew it,
lawyers were in my lab,

635
00:30:12,070 --> 00:30:13,726
shutting me down and telling me

636
00:30:13,751 --> 00:30:16,242
if I said anything, they'd bankrupt me.

637
00:30:16,696 --> 00:30:18,349
Dr. Deemer,

638
00:30:18,519 --> 00:30:21,443
if I may, what exactly were
the results of your test?

639
00:30:21,468 --> 00:30:23,656
That past a certain level of exposure,

640
00:30:23,681 --> 00:30:26,622
Greencoat is 500 times more
carcinogenic than cigarettes.

641
00:30:28,631 --> 00:30:30,024
I don't think I have to tell you

642
00:30:30,049 --> 00:30:32,672
how much your testimony
will mean to this case.

643
00:30:32,697 --> 00:30:34,898
- Testimony?
- Yes.

644
00:30:34,923 --> 00:30:37,547
I'm afraid there's been
some misunderstanding.

645
00:30:38,312 --> 00:30:39,975
I told you what I did to help you,

646
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,531
but I'm not going to testify.

647
00:30:41,556 --> 00:30:44,298
- But ma'am, we'll need your...
- They'll ruin my life.

648
00:30:45,828 --> 00:30:46,947
I have a family.

649
00:30:46,972 --> 00:30:49,148
Edgar Soriano has a family too.

650
00:30:52,789 --> 00:30:54,085
Excuse me.

651
00:31:06,485 --> 00:31:07,866
I've been fighting these companies

652
00:31:07,891 --> 00:31:10,671
pretty much my whole life,
so I know what they do.

653
00:31:11,713 --> 00:31:14,210
They tell you they're
gonna fix the problem,

654
00:31:15,387 --> 00:31:18,616
get you a new job somewhere
where you feel good again,

655
00:31:19,105 --> 00:31:21,023
and then years go by.

656
00:31:21,859 --> 00:31:23,339
Nothing happens.

657
00:31:25,837 --> 00:31:27,780
What they count on is fear.

658
00:31:28,648 --> 00:31:31,569
They make you feel
complicit when you're not.

659
00:31:31,990 --> 00:31:35,593
Edgar Soriano isn't the only
victim here, Dr. Deemer.

660
00:31:35,945 --> 00:31:37,686
This moment is...

661
00:31:37,909 --> 00:31:40,305
It's the moral arc of
the universe coming round

662
00:31:40,330 --> 00:31:42,132
to give you the chance

663
00:31:42,590 --> 00:31:45,632
to hold them accountable
for forcing you to live

664
00:31:45,657 --> 00:31:47,921
all of these years with that guilt

665
00:31:48,765 --> 00:31:50,226
and regret.

666
00:32:00,804 --> 00:32:02,890
Oh, I spoke to some
friends in high places,

667
00:32:02,915 --> 00:32:04,764
so from now on,

668
00:32:04,789 --> 00:32:06,905
you get applesauce with every meal.

669
00:32:07,575 --> 00:32:09,249
You're a good man, Jake.

670
00:32:11,752 --> 00:32:13,339
George, you didn't start telling people

671
00:32:13,364 --> 00:32:16,773
that you were guilty until
after you were convicted.

672
00:32:18,188 --> 00:32:19,593
You did that

673
00:32:19,618 --> 00:32:23,348
so that your wife and
your son could move on,

674
00:32:23,373 --> 00:32:26,077
so that they wouldn't have to
live a shell of a life waiting.

675
00:32:26,445 --> 00:32:28,648
And it worked.

676
00:32:29,274 --> 00:32:31,842
And she... she met a good man.

677
00:32:31,867 --> 00:32:33,538
And they have a family.

678
00:32:33,702 --> 00:32:35,573
And then your son...

679
00:32:35,703 --> 00:32:38,145
Your son is a sophomore at Georgetown.

680
00:32:38,170 --> 00:32:39,887
And he's on the debate team,
which means in a couple years...

681
00:32:39,911 --> 00:32:42,530
He's probably gonna try and take my job.

682
00:32:44,352 --> 00:32:46,501
They all have lives, George.

683
00:32:46,526 --> 00:32:48,069
They have rich,

684
00:32:48,889 --> 00:32:51,805
beautiful, messy lives.

685
00:32:54,782 --> 00:32:57,374
And now it's time you had one too.

686
00:33:05,791 --> 00:33:07,371
Okay, Jake.

687
00:33:08,827 --> 00:33:10,394
Okay.

688
00:33:11,543 --> 00:33:13,771
Plaintiff calls Dr. Nancy Deemer.

689
00:33:13,796 --> 00:33:15,402
- Objection!
- Objection!

690
00:33:16,208 --> 00:33:18,121
Your Honor, they want her to testify

691
00:33:18,146 --> 00:33:20,232
about the results of a test
that there's no record of.

692
00:33:20,256 --> 00:33:22,214
It's impossible for us
to impeach the testimony,

693
00:33:22,239 --> 00:33:24,441
and it is prejudicial
to the point of farce.

694
00:33:24,466 --> 00:33:25,801
Your Honor, there's no record

695
00:33:25,826 --> 00:33:27,793
because they destroyed the record.

696
00:33:28,458 --> 00:33:31,679
Too often, trials are decided
without us knowing the truth.

697
00:33:31,704 --> 00:33:34,462
We have the truth
sitting right out there,

698
00:33:34,487 --> 00:33:37,229
and all we ask is that she
be allowed to tell her story.

699
00:33:37,434 --> 00:33:39,801
Mr. Strait makes a compelling argument.

700
00:33:40,885 --> 00:33:43,428
However, with no way
to support or impeach

701
00:33:43,453 --> 00:33:45,063
what Dr. Deemer would say,

702
00:33:45,106 --> 00:33:46,940
I must side with the defense.

703
00:33:47,232 --> 00:33:49,042
Dr. Deemer may not testify

704
00:33:49,067 --> 00:33:51,069
to any testing she may
or may not have done.

705
00:33:51,094 --> 00:33:53,135
- If I...
- Thank you, Your Honor.

706
00:33:53,868 --> 00:33:56,092
- What if we stay broad?
- They'll shoot us down.

707
00:33:56,117 --> 00:33:58,250
Okay, maybe if we ask about her lab...

708
00:33:58,275 --> 00:33:59,487
Same problem.

709
00:33:59,687 --> 00:34:02,429
Judge Collins won't let her
say anything about her work.

710
00:34:02,454 --> 00:34:04,471
And her work is all that matters.

711
00:34:04,881 --> 00:34:06,307
No.

712
00:34:06,948 --> 00:34:08,948
It's not all that matters.

713
00:34:21,157 --> 00:34:23,294
Dr. Deemer, during your time

714
00:34:23,319 --> 00:34:25,877
as a research chemist at Amerifarm,

715
00:34:25,902 --> 00:34:29,073
did you ever hear about our client,
Mr. Soriano?

716
00:34:29,724 --> 00:34:31,867
- No.
- You never met him?

717
00:34:31,892 --> 00:34:34,073
You only know him because of this case?

718
00:34:34,460 --> 00:34:36,027
That's right.

719
00:34:40,041 --> 00:34:42,356
Is there anything you'd
like to say to him?

720
00:34:42,381 --> 00:34:43,862
Objection, relevance.

721
00:34:43,887 --> 00:34:45,432
Say to Edgar and his family?

722
00:34:45,457 --> 00:34:46,581
Your Honor.

723
00:34:46,606 --> 00:34:48,841
Ms. Strait,
where are you going with this?

724
00:34:53,004 --> 00:34:54,354
I'm sorry.

725
00:34:54,815 --> 00:34:57,893
I'd like to say I'm sorry
to him and his family.

726
00:34:57,918 --> 00:34:59,634
- Objection!
- Prejudicial!

727
00:34:59,659 --> 00:35:01,463
Dr. Deemer, you will refrain
from answering the question...

728
00:35:01,487 --> 00:35:04,204
I'm sorry, Mr. Soriano.
This did not have to happen.

729
00:35:04,229 --> 00:35:06,368
- The witness is excused.
- They knew the dangers.

730
00:35:06,393 --> 00:35:07,706
They came to my lab...

731
00:35:07,731 --> 00:35:09,729
Instruct this witness
to stop speaking now!

732
00:35:09,754 --> 00:35:12,647
The jury will disregard
all of her answers.

733
00:35:12,672 --> 00:35:15,033
- You can't just silence the truth.
- Objection, Your Honor!

734
00:35:16,621 --> 00:35:18,260
This witness cannot be heard.

735
00:35:18,284 --> 00:35:20,002
There will be order in my court!

736
00:35:20,027 --> 00:35:22,353
You to the judicial board for review.

737
00:35:27,096 --> 00:35:29,518
Been a lawyer almost 40 years now.

738
00:35:30,237 --> 00:35:31,729
Could be one 400 more,

739
00:35:31,754 --> 00:35:33,756
and I never would've come up
with something as brilliant

740
00:35:33,780 --> 00:35:36,065
as that one question you asked in there.

741
00:35:42,890 --> 00:35:44,935
You gave us a chance, Sydney.

742
00:36:06,927 --> 00:36:10,386
My mother died not too long ago.

743
00:36:11,515 --> 00:36:14,777
It was sudden and I miss her,

744
00:36:15,909 --> 00:36:18,613
but the truth is,
she had a wonderful life

745
00:36:19,263 --> 00:36:23,180
because she got to live it on her terms.

746
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,544
That's all any of us wants.

747
00:36:26,569 --> 00:36:27,902
Isn't it?

748
00:36:28,892 --> 00:36:31,852
A chance to take on life

749
00:36:31,877 --> 00:36:33,667
on our terms.

750
00:36:34,889 --> 00:36:37,370
Edgar Soriano didn't get that chance

751
00:36:37,395 --> 00:36:40,223
because known risks about
the safety of Greencoat

752
00:36:40,248 --> 00:36:42,555
were willfully withheld from him.

753
00:36:43,261 --> 00:36:45,230
Our society is a living thing.

754
00:36:45,255 --> 00:36:47,699
It grows, it evolves,
often for the better,

755
00:36:47,724 --> 00:36:50,535
but sometimes, things go off course.

756
00:36:51,020 --> 00:36:55,033
More and more,
values like fairness and decency

757
00:36:55,058 --> 00:36:57,550
are vanishing before our very eyes.

758
00:36:58,448 --> 00:37:00,246
That's where the law comes in,

759
00:37:00,687 --> 00:37:01,887
because out there,

760
00:37:01,912 --> 00:37:04,063
the fight may be fixed, but in here,

761
00:37:04,088 --> 00:37:07,221
we get to say what kind of
world we want this to be.

762
00:37:07,425 --> 00:37:08,636
Ladies and gentlemen, right now,

763
00:37:08,660 --> 00:37:11,519
we live in a world where
companies like Amerifarm

764
00:37:11,544 --> 00:37:14,504
think it's okay to hide truths from us.

765
00:37:14,863 --> 00:37:16,883
And in this world, what we've sacrificed

766
00:37:16,908 --> 00:37:19,426
is the chance to live life on our terms

767
00:37:19,451 --> 00:37:21,714
because like Edgar Soriano,

768
00:37:21,739 --> 00:37:23,735
we are making choices
without all the information

769
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:27,207
because companies like
Amerifarm are lying to us

770
00:37:27,232 --> 00:37:28,886
in order to make more money.

771
00:37:29,394 --> 00:37:31,144
That's not right.

772
00:37:31,707 --> 00:37:34,074
Someone has to speak up, and right now,

773
00:37:34,099 --> 00:37:35,566
that's the 12 of you.

774
00:37:36,112 --> 00:37:39,507
Your verdict will be both
your message and your voice.

775
00:37:39,532 --> 00:37:42,753
So use it here, today,

776
00:37:43,324 --> 00:37:45,804
and make this a better
world for all of us.

777
00:37:52,121 --> 00:37:54,374
That was some inspiring stuff.

778
00:37:56,992 --> 00:37:58,470
Do you know who teared up?

779
00:37:59,075 --> 00:38:00,075
Robbie.

780
00:38:00,100 --> 00:38:02,009
- Jake...
- I saw him.

781
00:38:02,394 --> 00:38:03,818
You know, the Chief of Detectives

782
00:38:03,843 --> 00:38:05,931
sitting in on the close
of a civil case...

783
00:38:05,956 --> 00:38:07,654
I'm sure that means nothing.

784
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:10,861
What happened with George Bell?

785
00:38:11,756 --> 00:38:13,392
- He's on board.
- Mm-hmm.

786
00:38:13,417 --> 00:38:15,004
You know, it's gonna be
a battle to get him out,

787
00:38:15,028 --> 00:38:17,312
and an even bigger fight to get
him any kind of restitution.

788
00:38:17,336 --> 00:38:19,234
It sounds like he's
got the right attorney.

789
00:38:19,259 --> 00:38:21,469
Well, while you're feeling
warm and fuzzy about me,

790
00:38:21,494 --> 00:38:23,852
I should tell you that
the files Robbie showed me

791
00:38:23,877 --> 00:38:25,778
are gonna be pivotal to the case.

792
00:38:25,821 --> 00:38:27,385
No, I'll do my best to
keep him out of it...

793
00:38:27,409 --> 00:38:28,518
But the truth is,

794
00:38:28,542 --> 00:38:30,541
doing right by George
is gonna make things

795
00:38:30,566 --> 00:38:32,611
really difficult for your ex.

796
00:38:35,761 --> 00:38:38,595
Wish I could say it was the
first time I did that to him.

797
00:38:41,868 --> 00:38:43,479
Verdict.

798
00:38:46,625 --> 00:38:48,619
As to question one,

799
00:38:48,735 --> 00:38:51,744
did Greencoat cause harm to Mr. Soriano?

800
00:38:51,769 --> 00:38:53,463
How do you answer?

801
00:38:54,843 --> 00:38:56,018
Yes.

802
00:38:56,043 --> 00:38:57,741
Since you answered in the affirmative,

803
00:38:57,766 --> 00:38:59,838
we proceed to question two.

804
00:39:00,179 --> 00:39:01,485
Was Amerifarm aware

805
00:39:01,510 --> 00:39:03,773
of the potential dangers
of their product?

806
00:39:03,798 --> 00:39:06,183
- How do you answer?
- Yes.

807
00:39:06,369 --> 00:39:08,064
Since you answered in the affirmative,

808
00:39:08,089 --> 00:39:09,822
we proceed to question three.

809
00:39:10,347 --> 00:39:13,072
Did Amerifarm withhold
knowledge of these dangers

810
00:39:13,097 --> 00:39:15,345
in an attempt to avoid responsibility?

811
00:39:15,915 --> 00:39:17,002
Yes.

812
00:39:17,027 --> 00:39:19,072
Since you answered all
three in the affirmative,

813
00:39:19,097 --> 00:39:21,002
you must assess and assign damages.

814
00:39:21,027 --> 00:39:24,213
In the matter of Soriano v. Amerifarm,

815
00:39:25,335 --> 00:39:27,369
we, the jury, award...

816
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,950
$1.4 million in compensatory damages,

817
00:39:32,158 --> 00:39:35,578
and $45 million in punitive damages.

818
00:39:37,988 --> 00:39:40,166
You're gonna be okay.

819
00:39:40,621 --> 00:39:42,623
You're gonna be okay.

820
00:39:42,964 --> 00:39:45,648
Juror number three,
is that your verdict?

821
00:39:45,673 --> 00:39:46,685
Yes.

822
00:39:46,710 --> 00:39:49,197
Juror number four, is that your verdict?

823
00:39:49,222 --> 00:39:51,012
- Yes.
- Juror number five,

824
00:39:51,037 --> 00:39:53,267
- is that your verdict?
- Yes.

825
00:39:53,689 --> 00:39:56,662
Juror number six, is that your verdict?

826
00:39:56,695 --> 00:39:58,377
- Yes.
- You know this win

827
00:39:58,402 --> 00:40:02,056
is a roadmap for
the whole class action, right?

828
00:40:02,327 --> 00:40:04,806
That's 85 people that have a chance now.

829
00:40:05,617 --> 00:40:08,252
Juror number seven,
is that your verdict?

830
00:40:08,277 --> 00:40:09,752
Yes.

831
00:40:09,777 --> 00:40:12,064
Juror number eight,
is that your verdict?

832
00:40:12,089 --> 00:40:13,557
- _
- Yes.

833
00:40:52,621 --> 00:40:55,377
- Amazing, amazing.
- That was amazing.

834
00:40:55,402 --> 00:40:58,106
She wins cases. She buys drinks.

835
00:40:58,131 --> 00:41:00,526
Sydney, yours is a welcome return.

836
00:41:00,551 --> 00:41:01,582
Here, here.

837
00:41:04,349 --> 00:41:05,940
To new beginnings.

838
00:41:05,965 --> 00:41:07,020
To new beginnings.

839
00:41:09,231 --> 00:41:10,856
And to family.

840
00:41:11,571 --> 00:41:12,572
Family.

841
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:16,504
Whoo!

842
00:41:17,306 --> 00:41:19,790
Yeah, go Pa!

843
00:41:21,982 --> 00:41:23,636
If Cresser Mining doesn't go for it,

844
00:41:23,661 --> 00:41:25,663
then I say we just file immediately.

845
00:41:26,043 --> 00:41:27,525
You wanna take the first chair?

846
00:41:27,550 --> 00:41:29,465
Let's just see how much I dislike them.

847
00:41:32,227 --> 00:41:35,639
♪ Sitting on the dock of the bay ♪

848
00:41:35,664 --> 00:41:36,694
What?

849
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,356
2:30 on a Saturday afternoon,

850
00:41:38,381 --> 00:41:40,350
and I have no idea
what to do with myself.

851
00:41:40,671 --> 00:41:42,148
I know that sounds silly.

852
00:41:42,173 --> 00:41:44,366
No, Dad. It doesn't sound silly.

853
00:41:45,456 --> 00:41:48,460
I think it's just gonna take
some time for all of us.

854
00:41:48,918 --> 00:41:50,790
I'm glad you're back, Sydney.

855
00:41:50,815 --> 00:41:52,178
Me too.

856
00:41:53,243 --> 00:41:56,529
Speaking of that,
I wanted to talk changes to the firm,

857
00:41:56,554 --> 00:41:57,990
starting with my car allowance.

858
00:41:58,015 --> 00:42:00,467
Car allowance?
It's a boutique operation.

859
00:42:00,492 --> 00:42:01,885
And then there's vacation time.

860
00:42:01,910 --> 00:42:04,249
- I never take vacation.
- Well, maybe you should.

861
00:42:04,607 --> 00:42:07,585
Hey, Dad, how long you staying today?

862
00:42:09,090 --> 00:42:10,543
What did he just call you?

863
00:42:16,869 --> 00:42:19,622
