89 00:07:10 He's not taking top plea.I can tell you that.
90 00:07:13 You're alreadyovercharging him.

103 00:07:42 His mother is indrug treatment.
104 00:07:45 And due to a legion of forcesbeyond his control,
105 00:07:49 he joined a gang for acceptance,family, and protection.

123 00:08:53 Mr. Jackson is the onewho comes to court,
124 00:08:55 but he comes to mefor legal guidance.
125 00:08:58 Now, you're being overchargedto accept a plea,
126 00:09:01 and to keep things moving.
127 00:09:03 They want to punish you foreven asking for a day in court.
128 00:09:06 It's a volume business.
129 00:09:09 With guards getting overtime,
130 00:09:10 and private companiesowning the jails
131 00:09:12 and building them as well.It's a fact.
132 00:09:15 You want to fight, we'll fight.I mean, to hell with the bill.
133 00:09:18 But if we take it to trial,
134 00:09:21 and you lose,
135 00:09:23 they hit you with 15 years.
136 00:09:26 And they rarely lose.

156 00:10:24 Mr. Ramirez was observed andfilmed making three drug sales
157 00:10:28 to undercover officers.
158 00:10:30 Mr. Ramirez made a confessionto detectives
159 00:10:33 that he supported himselfselling drugs.
160 00:10:35 Objection. Motion to strike.Mr. Ramirez was told
161 00:10:37 he was not under arrest,and was interrogated
162 00:10:40 without the benefitof his Miranda warning,
163 00:10:41 yet he was refuseduse of the bathroom.
164 00:10:43 That's a violationof civil rights.
165 00:10:45 Um, it wasn't an interrogation.It was an interview.
166 00:10:48 Overruled.
167 00:10:50 If a cop hauls you in, andsays you can't use the bathroom

177 00:11:13 armed guards in this courtroomdetained you
178 00:11:15 and would not allow youto use the bathroom
179 00:11:18 you would, by all definition,be detained.

181 00:11:22 I'm gonna hold you in contemptif you continue to pursue this.
182 00:11:25 With all due respect,you're asking me to obey

185 00:11:32 Okay.
186 00:11:33 Find you in contempt.

194 00:11:55 - I have no idea.- William.

234 00:15:32 - This is George Pierce.- Nice to meet you.
235 00:15:35 Pleasure.
236 00:15:36 The doctors haveconcluded that William
237 00:15:39 is in a permanentvegetative state.
238 00:15:41 Ah. Well, he'llsurprise them.
239 00:15:45 Well, we'd like to believethat but not this time.
240 00:15:50 You get a second opinion?
241 00:15:51 He's had three.
242 00:15:53 Now, Roman,my uncle gave me
243 00:15:55 financial and medicalpower of attorney.
244 00:15:58 If the firm was stable,we'd have time to mourn
245 00:16:00 but it's not, and we don't.
246 00:16:03 William's directive asksusing George
247 00:16:06 in the eventof incapacitation.
248 00:16:07 And George hasgenerously offered
249 00:16:09 to take timefrom his busy practice
250 00:16:11 to sort throughthe remaining cases,
251 00:16:13 help close the office,and collect what's due.
252 00:16:18 Well, I probably haven't had
253 00:16:20 time to consider all the, uh,
254 00:16:23 you know, variousramifications of this.
255 00:16:25 None of us have.
256 00:16:28 I can't live on my accolades.
257 00:16:31 Well, Lynn was hopingto give you and...
258 00:16:33 What's the receptionist'sname?
259 00:16:34 - Vernita.- Vernita, severance.
260 00:16:36 But looking over the books,it just doesn't seem possible.
261 00:16:42 I'll take over. Ahem.
262 00:16:44 No, you're not capableof continuing the practice.
263 00:16:50 On your contempt fine,
264 00:16:51 we can argueextreme emotional distress
265 00:16:53 and hope for a reduction.
266 00:16:55 Right. B-b-but I'll take over,
267 00:16:56 because in the architectureof this firm, I am a pillar.
268 00:17:01 Yes, and, Roman, I'd hopedto reward you for that.
269 00:17:03 Hope don't getthe job done.
270 00:17:06 What does that mean?
271 00:17:08 That means hopedon't get the job done.
272 00:17:15 Is it ego
273 00:17:17 or delusion?
274 00:17:20 Honestly, I...
275 00:17:23 I never paid enoughattention to you.
276 00:17:26 This place runs more like acharity service than a law firm.
277 00:17:31 It's run a deficit for years.
278 00:17:34 We...
279 00:17:37 his family,can no longer afford it.
280 00:17:41 We're clearing the books.
281 00:17:43 We're handing thisoff to George.
282 00:17:49 Roman, I'm sorry.
283 00:17:54 God, help me.
284 00:17:56 Yeah, just tellhim to wait.
285 00:18:00 No, just tell him to wait.I'll be there in 30. Less.
286 00:18:04 All right.One sec, one sec.
287 00:18:06 - So you have...? Uh-huh.- I'll talk to him.
288 00:18:28 I'm sorry, man.
289 00:18:30 I feel for you.
290 00:18:37 This where the bulldogdid his work?
291 00:18:43 What a mind.
292 00:18:45 He was great in the seatand great on his feet.
293 00:18:49 Jesus, didn't he everthrow anything away?
294 00:18:52 My secretary's gonna call.She'll be point on this.
295 00:18:57 What do you use?
296 00:18:58 LegalPRO? Quicken?
297 00:19:02 What's that?
298 00:19:04 Status on every case,depositions,
299 00:19:06 investigations, uh,conferences.
300 00:19:09 What, on cards?You're kidding.
301 00:19:11 I'm not helping you fast-pleadjust so you can get a fee.
302 00:19:14 Well, I'm in court every day.I fight hard for my clients.
303 00:19:18 You're a low-flying bee.
304 00:19:20 Is that what Williamsaid about me?
305 00:19:22 William never mentioned you.
306 00:19:24 - What's that about, then?- Fact.
307 00:19:26 Recorded fact, every case.
308 00:19:29 Organized and available.
309 00:19:31 And you can fact-check that
310 00:19:32 if you'd like on yourlegal Quicken.
311 00:19:35 I don't have time for this.
312 00:19:36 My office will callto coordinate going forward.
313 00:19:39 Let's watch him now.
314 00:19:41 Young George.
315 00:19:42 State of Californiav. Jason Angelo Fisher.
316 00:19:47 One of his first cases.Fisher's first offense.
317 00:19:50 Should have been reducedto misdemeanor possession.
318 00:19:53 But you pled him out to felony,conspiracy, and possession.
319 00:19:57 That became your M.O.
320 00:19:59 Take a retainer, waive yourclient's rights to a prelim,
321 00:20:03 then dump them on the publicdefenders when they complain.
322 00:20:06 What, you workedthe Fisher case? His appeal?
323 00:20:08 I recall reading the record.
324 00:20:10 - That was seven years ago.- Eight.
325 00:20:13 So you're saying you knowall that from memory?
326 00:20:15 Seven years,eight months, 47 days.
327 00:20:17 I'm quite confidentof my recollections.
328 00:20:19 Well, my win-loss recordis above 90 percent.
329 00:20:21 That's false and misleading.That's only if you count
330 00:20:23 your three yearsas a prosecutor.
331 00:20:26 Well, Williamthought highly enough
332 00:20:28 to bring me inif something happened.
333 00:20:30 Believe me,I'm going to find out why.
334 00:20:46 Roman. Hey, Roman.
335 00:20:50 Where you going?
336 00:20:53 - Where you going?- MLK.
337 00:20:55 Come on,I'll give you a ride.
338 00:20:59 I'd rather walk.
339 00:21:01 Come on, Roman.
340 00:21:05 I just want to talk.
341 00:21:13 William taught a term at Loyola.That's where we met.
342 00:21:16 I was, uh, top of my class.
343 00:21:18 Potential's a bitch.
344 00:21:21 Well, I'll tell youwhat's not is having
345 00:21:23 four offices and 60 peopleworking for you.
346 00:21:25 He picked mebecause I tossed him work.
347 00:21:28 You know, loser casesI didn't want,
348 00:21:29 or I was too busy to handle.
349 00:21:31 This, closing his office,it's payback.
350 00:21:34 I'll collect a fee.
351 00:21:37 Look, it just so happens I coulduse someone with your ability
352 00:21:41 and your powerof persuasive argument.
353 00:21:43 And I'll pay you twicewhat William gave you.
354 00:21:46 What do you say?
355 00:21:47 What makes you differentfrom this car?
356 00:21:49 Whoa.
357 00:21:50 Really? Okay.
358 00:21:52 I'm gonna tell yousomething I think
359 00:21:54 maybe will surpriseand disappoint you.
360 00:21:56 I got a kickback from William
361 00:21:58 for every single caseI gave him.
362 00:22:00 Bullshit.
363 00:22:01 I have the records.
364 00:22:03 Apparently, you've beenuntouched by the messy business
365 00:22:06 of running a smallcriminal defense firm.
366 00:22:10 Was it wrong?
367 00:22:12 On some level, sure.
368 00:22:14 Does it diminishwhat he did? Hell, no.
369 00:22:16 No, it allowed himto keep the doors open.
370 00:22:18 It kept you two going.
371 00:22:19 And to this day, I stillremember quotes from his class.
372 00:22:22 And that voice.
373 00:22:24 "What is tolerance? It is theconsequence of humanity.
374 00:22:27 "We are all formed offrailty and error.
375 00:22:29 "Let us pardon reciprocallyeach other's follies.
376 00:22:32 That is the first lawof nature."
377 00:22:34 So what do you say we forgetthe past and move forward?
378 00:22:36 Pull over.
379 00:22:43 I can't work for you.
380 00:22:44 What are you gonna do?
381 00:22:46 I'll continue incriminal litigation.
382 00:22:48 That's a bitch of a market.
383 00:22:49 - What if you can't find something?- What?
384 00:22:51 For argument's sake, if youcan't find a firm, what's next?
385 00:22:54 There is no next.There is no argument's sake.
386 00:22:56 There's underwear modelor activist attorney.
387 00:22:58 There is no next.
388 00:23:19 - Yeah, George.- I want to bring someone in.
389 00:23:21 Are you asking me,or are you telling me?
390 00:23:23 Jackson had a guy who draftedall his memoranda.
391 00:23:26 I think he's a bit of a savant.
392 00:23:28 He paid him 500 a week.
393 00:23:30 We can bill him outfor that much an hour.
394 00:24:06 Maya.It's Roman Israel.
395 00:24:11 Sorry to keep you waiting.
396 00:24:12 I usually work offscheduled appointments.
397 00:24:14 It's okay. I had some pretzelsand soda from down there.
398 00:24:18 That's fine.
399 00:24:20 So Jeff tells me you workwith William Henry Jackson.
400 00:24:24 Yes, for 36 years.
401 00:24:26 We are... We were partners.
402 00:24:29 He was the public faceof the firm.
403 00:24:31 I was the man behindthe curtain, so to speak.
404 00:24:33 How is he?
405 00:24:35 Unconsciousseveral weeks now.
406 00:24:36 I'm so sorry.
407 00:24:38 Well, come on in.
408 00:24:50 Um...
409 00:24:53 I have no safeguardagainst unemployment.
410 00:24:57 So William and Ronald
411 00:25:00 were old friends and associatesgoing back to Berkeley.
412 00:25:03 Mm-hm.Yeah, I'm aware.
413 00:25:05 Ronnie mentions Williamin his book.
414 00:25:07 Right. Yes, yes.I'd like to speak with him.
415 00:25:10 Ron is at our headquartersin Washington.
416 00:25:12 There somethingI could help you with?
417 00:25:16 Uh, well, um...
418 00:25:21 First, notwithstanding
419 00:25:23 I don't knowif I could do this
420 00:25:25 much longer,progressive lawyering.
421 00:25:26 You see, I'm not accustomedwithout William.
422 00:25:29 The criminal sideof our practice funded
423 00:25:32 our policyand legal challenges,
424 00:25:34 as in defendants' rights, uh,
425 00:25:37 prison conditions,
426 00:25:38 and drafted attacks on stateand federal criminal codes.
427 00:25:41 If I was freedfrom criminal work,
428 00:25:43 I can get back to my roots.
429 00:25:44 The bigger battles,organized mass action
430 00:25:47 supported by sweepinglegal challenges.
431 00:25:49 With my skill
432 00:25:52 and, uh, experience
433 00:25:54 I'm-I'm quite certainI can get this organization
434 00:25:56 right back in linewith its core beliefs.
435 00:26:00 - This organization?- Yes.
436 00:26:01 Yeah. I-I wasn't awarethat we, um, had strayed.
437 00:26:05 Well, I'm not talking aboutnickel-and-dime reformism.
438 00:26:08 I'm talking about ignitinga sustained mass movement,
439 00:26:12 supported by rule changeand injunctive relief.
440 00:26:15 And I could get resultsusing class-action tactics.
441 00:26:19 I'm talking about a returnto using activist litigation
442 00:26:22 creatively, defensively,counter-offensively.
443 00:26:25 I am very proudof what we've done here.
444 00:26:27 I think we're making significantheadway in many, many areas.
445 00:26:31 Well, in my experience,that's, uh,
446 00:26:34 an excuse to-to feel goodand to slack off.
447 00:26:37 Oh. Who's slacking off?
448 00:26:43 I attended Western StateCollege of Law
449 00:26:46 at Argosy in Fullerton. Startedthe first student union there.
450 00:26:53 I chose cause over ambition.
451 00:26:56 I could've joined oneof the big firms
452 00:26:57 like the rest of them,and been seduced.
453 00:27:00 But I was inspiredby Mr. Jackson.
454 00:27:02 I went to work for him.You can...
455 00:27:04 There's a detailed recordof all of our victories.
456 00:27:08 Civil rights victorieson there.
457 00:27:09 As for my personal life,at a certain point
458 00:27:11 I had to decide whetherto have a family or career.
459 00:27:14 I couldn't do both.
460 00:27:15 So I stayed on the front lines.Now, I'm offering
461 00:27:20 at this time...
462 00:27:23 to work, exclusively...
463 00:27:28 as your, um...
464 00:27:31 long-haul,three-dimensional,
465 00:27:33 revolutionary,
466 00:27:35 in-house,
467 00:27:38 full-time, paid advocate.
468 00:27:47 Mr. Israel,we're all volunteers here.
469 00:27:50 Our few salaried staffwork out of D.C.
470 00:27:56 I'd go to interview, but I'mprecluded for pecuniary reasons.
471 00:28:00 Money of late's beena motivating factor in my life.
472 00:28:04 Well,
473 00:28:06 be that as it may, uh,
474 00:28:08 positions are filled.
475 00:28:13 Look, I'm well worthhaving in this thing.
476 00:28:15 I have no doubt of that.
477 00:28:17 Because there's somethingto be fired up about.
478 00:28:20 We are, believe me.
479 00:28:24 Ah, well, I'll, um...
480 00:28:29 Go through William's Rolodex.Thank you, uh,
481 00:28:33 for your time.
482 00:28:38 You know, if you're, uh,interested in volunteering
483 00:28:41 we're having a meetingnext week.
484 00:28:43 We could use someonewith your legal expertise.
485 00:28:46 Perhaps you could give a talk.
486 00:28:47 I'd like that.Here's my card.
487 00:28:51 I crossed outthe office address.
488 00:28:54 And I wrote my home address,so you can reach me via mail.
489 00:28:58 I'll probablyjust text you.

524 00:30:42 Felicity's nephew Derrell wasarrested two days ago
525 00:30:45 in connection withan armed robbery
526 00:30:47 during which a clerkwas sadly killed.
527 00:30:49 Derrell's been charged withassault, first-degree murder.
528 00:30:52 It was his friend that was therewith him. It wasn't Derrell.
529 00:30:55 Derrell didn't knowthat he was going to do that.
530 00:30:58 Of course.We completely understand.
531 00:31:00 Derrell was not the shooter.
532 00:31:02 It's our job to provehow uncomplicit
533 00:31:04 he was inthe actual murder.
534 00:31:06 The way this will work is
535 00:31:07 Roman's gonnabe the point person.
536 00:31:09 And you were very, very wiseto retain private counsel.
537 00:31:12 I'm not gonna lie to you,
538 00:31:13 Derrell's gota mountain to climb.
539 00:31:15 It's imperative he receivesthe best defense.
540 00:31:17 I can promise youthat's what he'll get here.
541 00:31:22 I had tomortgage my house.
542 00:31:23 Oh, I'm sorry.
543 00:31:25 I don't like lawyers.
544 00:31:26 Me either.
545 00:31:27 I understand.
546 00:31:29 If I don't get answersto my questions,
547 00:31:31 if I don't see results,

550 00:31:38 I'm putting up my house.

559 00:32:02 It's the number abovethe crossed-out number.
560 00:32:04 What's "Esquire" mean?
561 00:32:07 Uh, it's a designation, uh,
562 00:32:09 in the legal arena.
563 00:32:11 It's like
564 00:32:13 a title of dignity.
565 00:32:15 Slightly above gentleman,below knight.
566 00:32:24 Yes.
567 00:32:27 Come in.
568 00:32:29 Roman, I'd like youto meet James Lee.
569 00:32:30 Jim, this is Roman Israel.
570 00:32:32 He'll be working closelywith me on this.
571 00:32:34 - Hi.- Please sit down, Roman.
572 00:32:36 Roman's a terrific attorney.We're very lucky to have him.
573 00:32:39 Jim's wife, Mari,was cited last night
574 00:32:41 for felony DUI hit and run,
575 00:32:43 with added charges forreckless driving and injury.
576 00:32:45 The way this will work is
577 00:32:47 Roman's gonnabe the point person.
578 00:32:48 You were very wiseto retain private counsel.
579 00:32:51 Mari's... She's gonnaneed, and deserves,
580 00:32:53 the best defense possible.
581 00:32:54 We're gonna make sureshe gets exactly that.
582 00:33:08 From George.
583 00:33:11 It's at that point,per the night manager,
584 00:33:14 that Derrell's friend,Carter Johnson
585 00:33:15 shoots the clerktwice in the head.
586 00:33:17 - Okay.- They empty the register,
587 00:33:20 roughly $500,and then run into the alleyway
588 00:33:22 where Derrell is caughtand Johnson escapes.
589 00:33:24 Johnson is a shot callerwith the Rollin 100.
590 00:33:27 He's got fouroutstanding warrants,
591 00:33:29 including twofor prior shootings.
592 00:33:31 Now, your boyDerrell is...
593 00:33:33 Don't use "boy."
594 00:33:35 Your client is seen enteringthe store on the outside camera
595 00:33:39 but the inside videowasn't working.
596 00:33:41 The ArmenianCommunity Council
597 00:33:43 put up $100,000for Johnson's arrest
598 00:33:45 for the clerk,who was Armenian.
599 00:33:48 Your client Derrell has twopriors going back four years.
600 00:33:52 Uh, one fordrug possession, marijuana,
601 00:33:54 and the other for theft.
602 00:33:59 I have adomestic violence case.
603 00:34:01 This guy assaultedthe same woman six times,
604 00:34:03 and she's swearing out anaffidavit for non-prosecution.
605 00:34:07 - Have you heard of Tempura House?- No. What's that?
606 00:34:09 It's a shelter forlightly battered women.
607 00:34:13 That's funny.That's funny.
608 00:34:19 Turn on the light,they run like roaches.
609 00:34:24 You work here?
610 00:34:26 Yes, sir, I do.
611 00:34:28 Jessie Salinas.
612 00:34:30 Supervising attorney.
613 00:34:33 Roman J. Israel.I'm the new guy.
614 00:34:36 Did you just compareus to roaches?
615 00:34:40 There's no tiptoeinginto this.
616 00:34:42 We're just blowing off steam...
617 00:34:43 You're tourists.
618 00:34:51 I'll see you around,Israel.
619 00:35:02 Roman.
620 00:35:03 Roman.
621 00:35:07 Jesus.
622 00:35:09 I heard about you todayin the kitchen.
623 00:35:11 Salinas is our number two.
624 00:35:14 Not only that,you were schooling
625 00:35:15 Sanchezin a crowded elevator?
626 00:35:17 That man doesn't understandcharacter evidence.
627 00:35:19 Then find a quiet corner.
628 00:35:20 I sent you an e-mail todayto come to my office.
629 00:35:23 I'm sorry, but whenpeople send e-mails,
630 00:35:25 they think it goesstraight to your brain.
631 00:35:27 You better takewhat I'm saying seriously,
632 00:35:29 because I'm beingvery sincere with you.
633 00:35:31 You knew what you were gettingwhen you brought me in.
634 00:35:34 Well, I thought youwere functional.
635 00:35:36 I think you brought me into put your feet to the fire,
636 00:35:38 'cause you're tiredof treating
637 00:35:40 low-income clientslike dollar signs,
638 00:35:41 and maybe you rememberwhat it feels like to care.
639 00:35:44 That's what I think,George.
640 00:35:45 No, I hired youto make a buck.
641 00:35:47 Which is why I thoughtyou took the job.
642 00:35:48 I need money. Heh.Badly, of course.
643 00:35:51 But what I really need,George, is an ally.
644 00:35:54 I've been waiting to meetsomeone of your high caliber.
645 00:35:57 And, yes, I am selective.
646 00:35:59 So what I'm offeringto you right out here now
647 00:36:01 is a chance to partner with me
648 00:36:03 on a piece of groundbreakinglitigation
649 00:36:05 I've been working onfor over seven years now.
650 00:36:08 Inside this case is arguably
651 00:36:10 the most important legal briefin modern legal history.
652 00:36:13 A sweeping federal challengethat could yield nothing less
653 00:36:17 than a grand new eraof social reform.
654 00:36:20 And I say thatwith all due competence.
655 00:36:23 The Constitution guarantees usa right to a fair trial,
656 00:36:26 but there can't be any fairness
657 00:36:27 if 95 percent of all casesnever get heard.
658 00:36:29 Criminal cases never get heardby a jury or a judge.
659 00:36:31 I am building a whollyoriginal class-action lawsuit
660 00:36:36 with over 3500 names,all former clients
661 00:36:38 aimed at the heartof plea-bargain reform.
662 00:36:40 I'm talking about reforminga system where prosecutors
663 00:36:43 are trying to pull sentencesout of their hat.
664 00:36:45 Where guilt or innocenceis being completely replaced
665 00:36:48 by fear of havingyour day in court.
666 00:36:50 Where people are being forced,George, to plead guilty
667 00:36:53 under the threat of overlyharsh and coercive sentences.
668 00:36:58 It's a job for a legend,or someone who wants to be one.
669 00:37:03 Let me tell you about it.
670 00:37:04 No, no, no.Jesus, just stop.
671 00:37:06 Roman, enough.
672 00:37:08 Not speaking out
673 00:37:11 is ordinary.
674 00:37:13 We're agents of change,George, each one of us.
675 00:37:15 Now, I don't have the resourcesto finish this on my own.
676 00:37:19 But with your assistance,I'm more than certain
677 00:37:22 that we can finish thisand file it together.
678 00:37:25 Partners on a landmarkclass-action suit
679 00:37:29 built on precedentsand procedure
680 00:37:31 and actual proof,weight of proof.
681 00:37:34 I'm sure of it, George.

702 00:38:51 Look, I didn't shoot that guy.
703 00:38:53 Okay? I just went in.
704 00:38:56 I didn't know whathe was gonna do.
705 00:38:59 You gave a statementto the police.
706 00:39:00 Yeah, I asked for a lawyer.
707 00:39:02 And before that,
708 00:39:04 after they read youyour rights,
709 00:39:06 you continued to talkto the detective.
710 00:39:08 They said you said
711 00:39:10 that you sawCarter Johnson with a gun.
712 00:39:12 I didn't knowhe was gonna use it.
713 00:39:15 Knowing he had a gunwhen you entered the store
714 00:39:17 that's aiding and abetting.
715 00:39:19 Criteria forfirst-degree murder.
716 00:39:21 CJ. CJ shot the clerk.
717 00:39:27 All right? I saw it.
718 00:39:29 I'll testifyif they let me out.
719 00:39:31 They're not gonnarelease you.
720 00:39:32 Case is too strong,charges too severe.
721 00:39:35 Now we can talk to the DA.
722 00:39:37 See what they'll offerfor your testimony.
723 00:39:41 Probation?
724 00:39:44 Best you can hope for is
725 00:39:46 a possible reductionto second-degree murder.
726 00:39:53 Right over here.
727 00:39:55 Have a seatif you're so scared, man.
728 00:39:59 Look, I know whereCJ's holed up.
729 00:40:04 Plus testifying.
730 00:40:07 What's that worth?
731 00:40:09 Worth a lot.
732 00:40:10 The two combined cancarry significant weight.
733 00:40:13 But you understand the risks?
734 00:40:15 What you're looking at?

776 00:42:29 and might be willingto testify.
777 00:42:31 He'll deliver on that?

779 00:42:34 If you waive allobjections and appeal,
780 00:42:36 and he's willingto cooperate,

794 00:43:03 I don't have time for this.
795 00:43:05 Well, I'm sorry fortaking a nanosecond
796 00:43:07 off of your assembly-line,rubber-stamp existence.

803 00:43:48 Wow, that's gottabe tough in L.A.
804 00:43:50 I've always imaginedlife with one.
805 00:43:53 Thanks for doing this.
806 00:43:55 Oh, you're welcome.
807 00:43:56 Public speakingis something
808 00:43:58 I'm usuallyencouraged to avoid.
809 00:44:02 So in anticipationof Tuesday's protest,
810 00:44:05 I've invited attorney
811 00:44:08 Roman Israel
812 00:44:11 to talk about our rights,
813 00:44:12 and what to expectif you are arrested.
814 00:44:15 Roman.
815 00:44:16 Thank you.
816 00:44:23 All right.
817 00:44:27 Back to my beginnings.
818 00:44:30 It feels good.
819 00:44:36 Hell, that was 40 years ago.So here we go. We're gonna...
820 00:44:40 We're gonna rap...I don't mean hip-hop.
821 00:44:45 ...a little while aboutsome good old-fashioned
822 00:44:49 grassroots,in-your-face protesting.
823 00:44:54 The time has cometo put social revolution
824 00:44:58 squarely back on the agenda
825 00:45:01 where it belongs.
826 00:45:04 Look at you.
827 00:45:09 Just like I was.
828 00:45:12 Just starting outyour fight against
829 00:45:17 the dominant tendenciesof our society.
830 00:45:20 Well,
831 00:45:22 you better get readyfor the commitment it takes
832 00:45:25 to lead a resistant lifestyle.
833 00:45:27 You better start forging
834 00:45:29 the armor to withstandthe temptation
835 00:45:33 and the financialand emotional toll.
836 00:45:37 Because when it comesto social injustice
837 00:45:39 and judicial indifference
838 00:45:41 and institutional racism
839 00:45:43 and outright goddamn greed
840 00:45:45 the overwhelming majorityof the people
841 00:45:47 in this countryjust don't give a damn.
842 00:45:49 - That's right.- That's right.
843 00:45:52 Civil or uncivil disobedience.
844 00:45:54 The First Amendment to protectyour right to freedom of speech
845 00:45:58 as long as you don't inciteviolence or law-breaking.
846 00:46:02 And there are gonna be peoplethat get caught up in the march.
847 00:46:05 They're gonna vandalize.They're... I'm sorry. Excuse me.
848 00:46:07 I see two sisters standing.
849 00:46:09 Why are the sisters standingand the brothers sitting?
850 00:46:13 If we wanna sit,we can ask.
851 00:46:15 Well, you ladies gottaspeak up for yourselves.
852 00:46:17 This ain't 40 years ago.
853 00:46:19 There's no statuteof limitations on chivalry.
854 00:46:23 - That's gendered and sexist.- And polite.
855 00:46:25 - And patronizing.- And polite.
856 00:46:28 What kind of lawdo you practice?
857 00:46:32 I'm a criminaldefense attorney.
858 00:46:36 You ever representdomestic violence defendants?
859 00:46:38 Many times.
860 00:46:39 Knowing that they're guilty?
861 00:46:41 Meaning what?
862 00:46:42 Meaning you have a choice.
863 00:46:44 Watch it. Someday you may needthe Sixth Amendment.
864 00:46:47 Oh, that's lawyer talk.
865 00:46:49 Oh, I see.So we got a Sarah Lawrence
866 00:46:51 soul sister in the band.
867 00:46:53 Ha, ha, I'm notyour sister, asshole.
868 00:46:55 Oh, whoa, whoa...
869 00:46:56 I'm not an asshole, sister.

872 00:47:02 - Okay.- Did you bring something to help?
873 00:47:07 Roman.
874 00:47:08 Roman.
875 00:47:12 I feel like I needto apologize for that.
876 00:47:15 No you don't. It's my fault.I say things.
877 00:47:17 - Are you okay?- No, I... Yeah, it's okay.
878 00:47:20 It just got out of hand.
879 00:47:21 My meanings seem to obfuscatemore than clarify.
880 00:47:24 I mean, that's whatthe discourse is.
881 00:47:27 - It's changed over the years.- Right.
882 00:47:29 - It's what we talked about.- You did.
883 00:47:30 That's a lot of whatthis is about.
884 00:47:32 I just can'tseem to remove myself
885 00:47:34 from what's happenedin my life. I...
886 00:47:38 This is where we are,the way the world is.
887 00:47:39 And I didn't evenwant to come out.
888 00:47:41 The nuns saidI was a forceps baby.
889 00:47:44 - Me too.- Yeah?
890 00:47:47 - No.- No?
891 00:47:48 No.
892 00:48:03 Is he okay?
893 00:48:06 I don't feel anything.
894 00:48:07 Check his neck.
895 00:48:13 No.
896 00:48:30 What happened?
897 00:48:32 We just found him.I think he's dead.
898 00:48:34 All right,don't touch anything.
899 00:48:37 Man down, blackmale, 60 years of age.
900 00:48:40 Not responding. Request RA.
901 00:48:44 What did I just say?

903 00:48:46 What did youput in there?
904 00:48:47 - My card.- Take it out.
905 00:48:50 Well, without ID
906 00:48:52 he'll get cremated and mixed upwith 1000 other homeless people.

908 00:48:57 It's just my name and numberfor the coroner to call me.
909 00:49:00 - Did you hear my partner?- Okay.
910 00:49:02 - Do what they say.- I want to pay for the burial.

913 00:49:08 I won't let him disappear,completely forgotten.
914 00:49:09 He most certainlywas somebody.
915 00:49:30 All Wilshire units.Possible 187. Suspect there now.
916 00:49:34 Western and Thirdat Chinatown Express.
917 00:49:37 Suspects aretwo male Hispanics.
918 00:49:38 Number one, large build...
919 00:49:40 I'm sorry.
920 00:49:42 What do you mean?That was unbelievable.
921 00:49:44 I thought he had no pulse.
922 00:49:46 No one does that.
923 00:49:47 Yeah, for good reason.
924 00:49:52 Hey. Yeah, I-I stepped out.

926 00:49:58 - I have to get back.- Yeah. Okay.
927 00:50:02 I'm gonna call you.

929 00:50:29 We have a problem.
930 00:50:32 Come in.
931 00:50:36 Close the door.
932 00:50:43 Where did you get the idea youcould try and negotiate a plea?
933 00:50:45 Who told youyou could do that?
934 00:50:48 To just ignorewhat I emphatically told you?
935 00:50:51 Derrell Ellerbee wasstabbed and killed
936 00:50:53 this morning in general lockup.
937 00:50:55 His aunt told methat Derrell requested
938 00:50:57 protective custody last night,
939 00:50:58 but was delayedbecause the prosecutor said
940 00:51:00 you pissed on her deal,Roman.
941 00:51:02 That offer should, by law,
942 00:51:04 have been presentedto the client, it was not.
943 00:51:06 As of now, you've exposed usto a malpractice suit,
944 00:51:08 Roman, I would killto be on the other side of.
945 00:51:11 You've had difficultycomprehending my meaning,
946 00:51:14 so I'll be very, very clear.
947 00:51:16 As much as I wanna fire you,I can't,
948 00:51:18 as that could be construed asacknowledgment of wrongdoing.
949 00:51:20 So I'm gonna retain you, Roman.
950 00:51:24 I'm gonna retain you,and then I'm gonna fire you.
951 00:51:26 If you attempt to quitor you stop coming in
952 00:51:28 I swear to God, I'll hit youwith a motion to recoup damages
953 00:51:31 and I'll have you disbarred.
954 00:51:34 We're done here.
955 00:51:59 Yo, hey, man. Hey.
956 00:52:00 Yo, man, I'm sorryto bother you, man, but...

959 00:52:08 All right. Slow down,slow down, slow down.
960 00:52:10 Okay, man. I'm sorry.
961 00:52:12 Look, I appreciate it, man.Look, I know it's late.
962 00:52:15 I appreciate you helping me.Cool, man.
963 00:52:17 Here's some ticketsfor the mission.

985 00:54:25 He's awake?
986 00:54:27 No, but I believesomewhere he knows.
987 00:54:30 He was so very fond of you.
988 00:54:34 He looks a lot worse.
989 00:54:36 It won't be long now.
990 00:54:38 Last ripple of a mighty wavewashed ashore here.
991 00:54:42 And left us high and dry.
992 00:54:44 No, he didn't leave us.He'll never leave us.
993 00:54:47 I thought it was builton good ground, but...
994 00:54:53 there's nothing under it.
995 00:54:55 Roman, what's wrong?
996 00:54:58 You're too near meto hear me.
997 00:55:00 Can't you see?It's clear as crystal.
998 00:55:02 - What?- We filed the wrong brief
999 00:55:04 in the wrong courtto the wrong judge.
1000 00:55:07 What are you talking about?
1001 00:55:09 A world where everyone'sfeelings are reciprocated.
1002 00:55:11 The capacity for everyoneto contribute. Come on.
1003 00:55:16 Freedom is somethingyou can only give yourself.
1004 00:55:19 That's nothing he agreed with.
1005 00:55:20 I don't have any time anymore.I don't have time to waste.
1006 00:55:24 Trying to...
1007 00:55:26 tell people notto sleep so tight.
1008 00:55:30 Telling people to turn around.Toward what?
1009 00:55:32 Roman, sit down.
1010 00:55:35 There's no need anymore.
1011 00:55:37 The incapacity ceases with
1012 00:55:40 the cause that produces it.
1013 00:55:42 Roman, he can hear you.
1014 00:55:43 Well, that's whatI came to say.
1015 00:55:46 Anyway, he...
1016 00:55:54 Anyway, he's gone, so...
1017 00:55:59 What he fought for,
1018 00:56:00 what he takes with him,that lasts forever.
1019 00:56:04 Eroding as it was conceived.
1020 00:56:06 What is wrong with you?
1021 00:56:09 You know,there's a shop by the ocean
1022 00:56:11 that makes maple-glazedturkey bacon doughnuts.
1023 00:56:13 People sit under palm treesand eat them
1024 00:56:15 while the breezes are blowingand the dolphins are playing.
1025 00:56:18 I'm gonna go there.
1026 00:56:20 Roman, all right, sit down.
1027 00:56:21 - No. I'm gonna get one.- No, no, sit down.
1028 00:56:24 Roman.
1029 00:56:27 Roman...

1144 01:07:32 Lynn went to your apartmentthis weekend to speak with you,
1145 01:07:36 but you weren't there.
1146 01:07:38 Oh, I must have been out.
1147 01:07:42 You... You don't knowwhat I'm talking about.
1148 01:07:46 - You're firing me?- No.
1149 01:07:48 No. People became concernedafter you went to the hospital
1150 01:07:51 Friday morning, and it wasdecided, after some discussion,
1151 01:07:54 that it was best not to leavea message on your phone.
1152 01:07:59 William died.
1153 01:08:02 When?
1154 01:08:03 Friday night, actually.
1155 01:08:06 - I'm sorry.- You didn't kill him.
1156 01:08:11 There's gonna be a smallprivate funeral on Wednesday,
1157 01:08:13 and then a full memorialin several weeks.
1158 01:08:17 Is that it?
1159 01:08:18 I don't knowwhat you're feeling...
1160 01:08:20 given how close you were.
1161 01:08:22 I mean, I guess...I guess I can kind of imagine.
1162 01:08:26 Yeah. I put that behind me.
1163 01:08:28 Well, I'm sorry for my outburstthe other day. I was...
1164 01:08:32 I was overly harsh.
1165 01:08:34 Lynn's been telling me
1166 01:08:36 how vital you wereto William's work.
1167 01:08:38 Always in the shadows,never flagging,
1168 01:08:40 and I pulled youout of the back room
1169 01:08:42 and forced you outonto the floor. It was...
1170 01:08:45 It was a lot to ask.
1171 01:08:47 I've gotten Felicity Ellerbeeto sign a document
1172 01:08:49 absolving us of any wrongdoingin her nephew's death.
1173 01:08:53 It's a good thing that she...
1174 01:08:55 She believes that you were
1175 01:08:56 just actingin Derrell's best interests.
1176 01:08:59 So that's in the rearview.
1177 01:09:01 I've also learned today that wepicked up three new clients,
1178 01:09:04 all of whom cameas referrals from your cases.
1179 01:09:06 It seems likeyour personal attention,
1180 01:09:08 giving out your cell phone,
1181 01:09:09 is quite the calling card.
1182 01:09:11 I wanna institute the practicefor all our attorneys.
1183 01:09:13 Good.
1184 01:09:16 Look, you canstill leave, of course.
1185 01:09:18 I fully understand.I think maybe there's a...
1186 01:09:20 Maybe there's a placefor you here if you...
1187 01:09:22 - I wanna stay.- You would?
1188 01:09:24 Yes. I mean...
1189 01:09:26 I'm tired of doingthe impossible
1190 01:09:28 for the ungrateful.I now have, uh, more...
1191 01:09:33 practical concerns.
1192 01:09:35 The, uh...The suit's a big change.
1193 01:09:37 Thank you.
1194 01:09:40 I prefer double-breasted,but, uh...
1195 01:09:42 Ha. You broke openthe piggy bank, huh?
1196 01:09:43 Yeah. Yes, I did.
1197 01:09:46 My lack of successis self-imposed.
1198 01:09:54 So, Israel, there's a rumorthat you know the CPC by heart.
1199 01:09:59 Yeah. Guilty as charged.

1260 01:13:55 Under the new fee structure,our advance on felony cases
1261 01:13:59 rises from 2000 to 2500.
1262 01:14:01 Our felony daily rate risesto 1500 from 1000.
1263 01:14:05 Now, of course, some people aregonna gag at the new numbers,
1264 01:14:08 but what we're selling isour impressive win-loss record,
1265 01:14:11 our depth of talent,all you fine people,
1266 01:14:13 and, ultimately,our lower all-in costs.
1267 01:14:16 Take time to explain itto people.
1268 01:14:18 If you see a potential clientheading for the door,
1269 01:14:20 you emphasizeour new personalized approach.
1270 01:14:23 All right,I've also decided to devote
1271 01:14:25 a share of our timeto pro bono.
1272 01:14:28 Now, that's not an areawe have much experience with,
1273 01:14:31 but someone here does.
1274 01:14:33 It's the firsthe's heard about it,
1275 01:14:35 but Roman will be heading upour new pro bono program.
1276 01:14:39 Roman, you wanna saya few words?
1277 01:14:43 Will thiscut into my salary?
1278 01:14:49 I mean in termsof billable hours?
1279 01:14:57 Okay.
1280 01:14:59 All right.
1281 01:15:00 Connor, you'll beassisting Roman.

1285 01:15:06 All right, questions?
1286 01:15:08 Nothing? Good.

1288 01:15:20 Oh, there's no code.
1289 01:15:22 It's a bituncomfortable for me.
1290 01:15:24 You don't like it?
1291 01:15:25 This will cost a fortune.
1292 01:15:28 Well...
1293 01:15:29 Yeah. We deserve it.
1294 01:15:31 You know,I really heard what you said,
1295 01:15:34 the first time you came in.
1296 01:15:36 About progressive lawyering
1297 01:15:37 being the cornerstoneof modern activism.
1298 01:15:40 Particularly given the tunnelthat we're descending into.
1299 01:15:46 You, the few lawyerslike you...
1300 01:15:49 Thank you.
1301 01:15:51 You really took upthe mantle of leadership
1302 01:15:54 with your own advocacy.
1303 01:15:56 You're out there...
1304 01:15:58 and alone for so many years.
1305 01:16:01 I feel like...
1306 01:16:05 I don't know. I feellike I was meant to meet you.
1307 01:16:09 Ah.
1308 01:16:17 - Thank you.- I've been going through
1309 01:16:19 my own struggles.
1310 01:16:21 You know, trying to balancewhat I do...
1311 01:16:25 and the sacrifices.
1312 01:16:30 I've asked myself many times,"Why do I see things
1313 01:16:33 so differentlyfrom other people?"
1314 01:16:36 You know, why...?
1315 01:16:39 Why do I care so muchthat our humanity
1316 01:16:43 is connected to each other?
1317 01:16:46 I have moments...
1318 01:16:52 I have extended periodsof real doubt.
1319 01:16:57 I'm just holding onby a thread.
1320 01:17:03 So, uh...
1321 01:17:05 hearing you...
1322 01:17:07 and, um, understandingwhat you've been through...
1323 01:17:12 ...and, uh... Thank you.
1324 01:17:16 Just knowing you.
1325 01:17:19 I mean, honestly,Roman, you're inspiring.
1326 01:17:28 I've never hadit before, but...
1327 01:17:31 I imagined Duck à l'Orangeto be different somehow.
1328 01:17:36 Jesus, I'm being serious.
1329 01:17:38 Perhaps you need to lookat things differently.
1330 01:17:41 You all right?
1331 01:17:43 - How?- Well...
1332 01:17:47 the world is for wonderfulthings, isn't it?
1333 01:17:52 Define "wonderful."
1334 01:17:55 Okay. As an example...
1335 01:17:59 who says...
1336 01:18:01 you can't steal a carin self-defense?
1337 01:18:03 In reference to what?
1338 01:18:04 If one requireda means of escape, so to speak.
1339 01:18:09 Escape from what?
1340 01:18:11 Possibility to actuality.
1341 01:18:15 I mean, it follows.The logic is valid,
1342 01:18:18 thus the premise is true.
1343 01:18:20 Every weapon is a toolif you hold it the right way.
1344 01:18:23 You'resaying to justify something?
1345 01:18:26 I'm saying...
1346 01:18:30 purity...
1347 01:18:33 ...can't survivein this world.
1348 01:18:38 Living conditionshave bearing.
1349 01:18:43 I'm talking aboutthe burden of activism.
1350 01:18:45 Exactly.
1351 01:18:47 What are you talking about?
1352 01:18:53 My ears are ringing.
1353 01:18:56 It's somebody's phone.
1354 01:18:59 Roman.
1355 01:19:07 It's very difficultto be truthful.
1356 01:19:11 Not just with principles...
1357 01:19:14 but with yourself.
1358 01:19:15 To admit that youwant something else
1359 01:19:17 and to try and act on it.
1360 01:19:18 But I don't wantsomething else.
1361 01:19:21 I feel blessedto believe in something.
1362 01:19:25 The way you do.
1363 01:19:34 Thanks for dinner.That was very generous.
1364 01:19:36 The portions were small.
1365 01:19:39 I'm moving into a new placein a few days, after 35 years.
1366 01:19:44 You're going througha lot of changes.
1367 01:19:46 Yeah. Yeah.
1368 01:19:48 Kind of worriedI'm gonna miss my old place.
1369 01:19:50 Maybe you should waituntil you're sure.
1370 01:19:51 Nah, signed the contract.I can't go back.
1371 01:19:54 - I called a car.- Already got you one.
1372 01:19:57 See, I can Uber and text.It's right here.
1373 01:20:04 - Thanks again.- You're welcome.
1374 01:20:06 Goodnight.
1375 01:20:08 I just want you to knowhow much you've helped me...
1376 01:20:12 - by, uh, meeting you.- Mm.
1377 01:20:14 For what you do.
1378 01:20:21 - Your hair looks great.- Thank you.
1379 01:20:50 William livedon grand notions,
1380 01:20:53 influenced byimpractical ideas...
1381 01:20:57 in a house tremblingwith promise
1382 01:20:59 and shouts of triumphsyet to come.
1383 01:21:03 Imploring and inspiring.
1384 01:21:07 A believer that the moral arcof the universe is long,
1385 01:21:11 but bends towards justice.
1386 01:21:13 He ignited a sparkin each and every one of us...
1387 01:21:19 and that lightcan never die.
1388 01:21:25 We have over 1000attending the memorial.
1389 01:21:28 Yeah, and notone of them
1390 01:21:29 returned his callswhen he was alive.
1391 01:21:31 I think it would be greatif you spoke.
1392 01:21:34 And tell them what?
1393 01:21:36 - You two talk the same language.- Yeah, no, thank you.
1394 01:21:39 - If it's nerves...- It's not.
1395 01:21:41 - There's no one more deserving.- They wouldn't wanna hear it.
1396 01:21:45 Hear what?
1397 01:21:47 The real enemies aren't onthe outside. They're within.
1398 01:21:53 We'll talk soon.
1399 01:21:55 I'll call you.
1400 01:21:59 You take care of yourself.
1401 01:22:02 I am.
1402 01:22:03 I disbelieve that.
1403 01:22:09 I'll be in touch.
1404 01:22:11 Roman, I'll see youat the office.
1405 01:22:14 I have somethingfor you.
1406 01:22:28 No, you're right.
1407 01:22:30 That 2500is higher than average.
1408 01:22:32 But let me direct youto our firm's win-loss record,
1409 01:22:35 our lower all-in costs,personalized service.
1410 01:22:38 - It's all there in the brochure.- I don't know.
1411 01:22:42 You're wise to price shop.Very, very wise.
1412 01:22:45 When it comes to defendingyour loved ones,
1413 01:22:47 there's a lot of peoplein prison
1414 01:22:49 that would attest thatthat's a bad idea.
1415 01:23:02 We're going to do it.
1416 01:23:06 Okay.
1417 01:23:18 Tickets for this week's game
1418 01:23:21 available nowon the main concourse,
1419 01:23:23 right behind Aisle 14.
1420 01:23:25 Man, you've hadsome crash course, huh?
1421 01:23:28 From William Henry Jacksonto George Pierce?
1422 01:23:31 What a ride.
1423 01:23:34 You seem to besettling in okay though.
1424 01:23:35 From all appearances.
1425 01:23:38 I got a lot of plans, Roman.
1426 01:23:40 I mean, nothing we have to gettoo deep into here,
1427 01:23:42 understand, but...
1428 01:23:44 down the line, there is a lotI'd like to discuss.
1429 01:23:47 I'm gonna wantyour thoughts.
1430 01:23:48 You know,closer community contact...
1431 01:23:51 taking on more familyand housing cases,
1432 01:23:53 setting up alternativework arrangements.
1433 01:23:55 All while actually increasingproductivity and retention,
1434 01:23:59 which is not to suggestit's about drumming up business.
1435 01:24:01 I mean, something's gotta getyou up in the morning, right?
1436 01:24:04 Yes, three point.
1437 01:24:06 And going backto William Henry...
1438 01:24:09 I told you I still rememberquotes from his class.
1439 01:24:11 "I believe
1440 01:24:12 because of my beliefs."
1441 01:24:16 Cards-on-the-table time:I was gonna leave law,
1442 01:24:19 before I took his class.After him, I doubled down.
1443 01:24:23 You know, all his talkof what could be
1444 01:24:25 and the difference one man couldmake. You gotta make a living.
1445 01:24:28 Four offices, this market?
1446 01:24:30 It's... It's no small thing.
1447 01:24:33 Of course he didn'tsee it that way.
1448 01:24:35 He told me I was, uh...
1449 01:24:37 I was drowningin the shallow end.
1450 01:24:41 Worse was, I knew it.
1451 01:24:45 And then youcome along, you...
1452 01:24:47 You shake things up a bit,and here we are sitting,
1453 01:24:49 talking new possibilities,where we can go.
1454 01:24:53 Hell, I don'thave to explain. You get it.
1455 01:24:55 Christ, you're gonna beright in the middle of it.
1456 01:25:40 - Come on, man.- That's bullshit.
1457 01:25:47 Oof! L.A. traffic, man,there's no getting around it.
1458 01:25:50 Glad I caught you before wecame in. We just landed this.
1459 01:25:52 It's a capital case.You have experience with those?
1460 01:25:55 We handled quite a few.
1461 01:25:56 I'll make the introduction,
1462 01:25:58 then I'll bow outand you'll stay.
1463 01:25:59 Okay.
1464 01:26:01 I looked at thatprison overcrowding case
1465 01:26:02 you and William worked on.
1466 01:26:04 Which one?
1467 01:26:05 Against Men's Central.
1468 01:26:06 - You prevailed.- Oh, that was overturned.
1469 01:26:09 Yeah?
1470 01:26:10 How's your bigplea-reform brief going?
1471 01:26:12 Ah...
1472 01:26:14 Put it aside.
1473 01:26:16 Well, tell me more about it.I'm interested.
1474 01:26:18 Carried it as faras I can take it.
1475 01:26:21 Well, how about some help?
1476 01:26:23 I mean, I've beenthinking about it.
1477 01:26:24 I've become less skepticalabout the possibilities
1478 01:26:26 and scope of what you said.I could devote office resources,
1479 01:26:29 help you complete the brief.
1480 01:26:30 We could file at federalcourt together.
1481 01:26:32 That's the first step.It'll take years
1482 01:26:34 of commitmentto see it through.
1483 01:26:35 Commitment doesn't seemto be a problem for you.
1484 01:26:37 I hear you're movingto a new apartment.
1485 01:26:39 - How'd you hear that?- Payroll comes across my desk.
1486 01:26:41 - I know that building, not cheap.- I had money saved.
1487 01:26:45 I mean, it's great.It's a nice building.
1488 01:26:47 No, I mean, I had moneysaved for a long time.
1489 01:26:49 - Well what else is it good for?- Ha, ha.
1490 01:26:51 - You got your ID?- Yeah, yeah.
1491 01:26:53 George Pierceand Roman Israel
1492 01:26:55 to see our client,Carter Johnson.
1493 01:26:57 - Carter Johnson?- I meant to tell you.
1494 01:26:59 They picked him up on Fridayfrom the Ellerbee case.
1495 01:27:02 We've been retained.
1496 01:27:29 Hello, Carter.
1497 01:27:31 I'm George Pierce, and this ismy associate Roman Israel.
1498 01:27:34 Roman is a devoted advocateand a fabulous attorney.
1499 01:27:37 And he's gonna bethe point person on your team.
1500 01:27:40 - You're good, huh?- Well, he's better than good.
1501 01:27:43 Have you had a chanceto review the fee structure?
1502 01:27:45 - The stuff you sent over? Yeah.- Yeah.
1503 01:27:47 You understand this isa capital murder case?
1504 01:27:49 - Yeah.- All right, first off,
1505 01:27:51 you wanna be fully up to speedon your file.
1506 01:27:53 You will make better decisionsif you're completely informed
1507 01:27:56 about every aspect of your caseand you know all your options.
1508 01:27:59 I know all my options.
1509 01:28:01 Well, unfortunately, we, uh,can't change what's been done.
1510 01:28:04 That meansfacing this head-on.
1511 01:28:06 I thinkyou understand the penalties
1512 01:28:09 you're facingare very severe.
1513 01:28:11 In overview,we're gonna study the discovery
1514 01:28:14 of the evidencethe prosecution gives us.
1515 01:28:15 And we're gonnaforce the prosecution
1516 01:28:17 to give us anythingand everything we want.
1517 01:28:19 - Roman, you wanna step in?- Yeah, we're gonna...
1518 01:28:21 We're gonna perform a privateinvestigation, and, uh...
1519 01:28:25 devise a defense.
1520 01:28:27 That's not all we'll do.We'll outwork the prosecution.
1521 01:28:30 All right?We're gonna outwork them,
1522 01:28:32 we're gonna outperform them.
1523 01:28:34 And we're gonna get youthe best result possible.
1524 01:28:37 Life in a cage.
1525 01:28:38 Well, that's the outcomewe're fighting.
1526 01:28:40 It'll be a long process,and it's gonna cost quite a bit.
1527 01:28:43 So with that in mind, I...
1528 01:28:45 I'd like to suggestthere's no need
1529 01:28:46 for two billable attorneysat this early phase.
1530 01:28:48 If it's okay with you, I'll bowout. I'll let Roman continue.
1531 01:28:52 It's okay with me.
1532 01:28:54 All right, Carter.
1533 01:28:56 I'll be in touch.
1534 01:28:58 Roman, I'll speakwith you later.
1535 01:29:00 Okay.
1536 01:29:01 Guard.
1537 01:29:06 The, um...
1538 01:29:09 Uh...
1539 01:29:11 The prosecutors are gonna favora grand jury
1540 01:29:14 over a preliminary hearing,which will allow them to wait
1541 01:29:19 and reveal the evidenceat the trial.
1542 01:29:21 You represented Derrell.
1543 01:29:24 Uh, briefly.
1544 01:29:26 I asked for youafter talking to his cellie.
1545 01:29:31 We have a number of legalmaneuvers we can employ,
1546 01:29:34 to try and force a prelim.
1547 01:29:35 - I don't care about the prelim.- I'd advise that we pursue it.
1548 01:29:39 You knew where I was.
1549 01:29:42 When was that?
1550 01:29:43 Before they picked me up.
1551 01:29:45 I'm sure Derrellshared that info
1552 01:29:47 with a number of people.
1553 01:29:48 No.
1554 01:29:50 You're the only personhe told.
1555 01:29:52 That's what he told the guy.
1556 01:29:55 You called it in,collected the reward money.
1557 01:29:59 - You fucked me.- I presented myself...
1558 01:30:03 on your requestfor an attorney.
1559 01:30:06 You're talking,but it don't mean nothing.
1560 01:30:09 I ain't nevergetting out of here.
1561 01:30:12 They got me cold.
1562 01:30:15 I'll tell you this.

1565 01:30:22 - Guard... Guard.- Any place.
1566 01:30:23 - Guard!- Could've already done it.
1567 01:30:25 - Guard.- But I want you to be where I am.
1568 01:30:28 - Guard!- Thinking about it.
1569 01:30:29 Guard.
1570 01:30:31 Go on and tell somebodywhat you did.
1571 01:30:32 - I want out.- Broke your own law.
1572 01:30:34 - Privileged information.- Guard!

1660 01:38:47 Yeah...The ability to have, uh...
1661 01:38:50 conflicting ideasin one's head takes effort.

1737 01:44:18 Why are you giving it to me?
1738 01:44:20 To take care of.

1744 01:44:36 Well, I don't have room.
1745 01:44:38 - In your apartment.- I gave it up.
1746 01:44:40 Why?
1747 01:44:41 I'm going away.
1748 01:44:43 Where?
1749 01:44:44 Wherever they send me.
1750 01:44:45 See, something has occurred.Something...
1751 01:44:49 I've just taken a career
1752 01:44:50 which was certainlysincere and...
1753 01:44:52 And well-intentionedand launched it right into
1754 01:44:54 the realm of the trulytransformational.
1755 01:44:56 I promise you that the attorneythat triumphs in this instance
1756 01:44:59 won't be the one with the mostformal education or legal skill.
1757 01:45:02 Roman, what are youtalking about?
1758 01:45:04 Well, it's quiteinteresting, actually.
1759 01:45:06 - There you are.- Hey, George.
1760 01:45:08 This is Maya.Maya, this is George.
1761 01:45:10 - Hey.- Hello.
1762 01:45:12 Maya doesn't
1763 01:45:15 overlook the vital things...
1764 01:45:19 like other people.
1765 01:45:21 And speaking for myself,I'm thankful for that.
1766 01:45:24 Roman tells me that hereally enjoys working for you.
1767 01:45:28 Yeah. George is a protectorof rights. That's truth
1768 01:45:31 - in advertising.- I...
1769 01:45:33 I need to... I need to havea word with you. Can we...?
1770 01:45:36 - I was leaving anyway.- You just got here.
1771 01:45:39 Sorry, Maya, it's, uh...
1772 01:45:40 It's important.
1773 01:45:42 This is funny.Just to think...
1774 01:45:46 Three Mondays ago,
1775 01:45:48 I didn't knoweither one of you.
1776 01:45:49 - Roman, I'm concerned about you.- It's okay.
1777 01:45:51 George and I just need to...
1778 01:45:53 - talk business matters.- Yeah.
1779 01:45:59 I believe...
1780 01:46:01 the two of you are gonna...
1781 01:46:04 get along very well.
1782 01:46:09 Roman...
1783 01:46:16 Roman.
1784 01:46:18 Roman, wait.
1785 01:46:29 Roman...
1786 01:46:31 what the hell is going on?
1787 01:46:33 From my point of view?
1788 01:46:35 I get a call from Fritz.
1789 01:46:37 Says he hasreliable information
1790 01:46:38 that you turned in CarterJohnson, collected the reward.
1791 01:46:41 Here's what the prosecutorwon't tell you.
1792 01:46:43 Jesus Christ, it's true.
1793 01:46:44 I've been given a gift,George.
1794 01:46:46 No, you actedutterly improperly.
1795 01:46:47 I mean, you broke the law.
1796 01:46:49 It so wasn't a gift, Roman.
1797 01:46:50 I'm not talkingabout the money.
1798 01:46:52 I don't careabout the money,
1799 01:46:53 fruit of the poisonous tree.
1800 01:46:54 If you wanna understand
1801 01:46:55 what's happening,
1802 01:46:56 you're gonna have get past
1803 01:46:58 all the smokeof legal disputation.
1804 01:46:59 Legal disputation?
1805 01:47:01 Roman, these aredangerous people.
1806 01:47:02 You don't justwalk away from this.
1807 01:47:04 Not walking away.
1808 01:47:06 I'm turning myself in.The station's on Sixth.
1809 01:47:14 Roman.
1810 01:47:19 I'll... I'll walk with you.
1811 01:47:26 You know,all those years of practicing...
1812 01:47:29 scouring law books...
1813 01:47:32 achieving technical triumphs
1814 01:47:34 through loopholesand ambiguities...
1815 01:47:36 none of whichwere adequate to save me
1816 01:47:39 from the realityof my present situation.
1817 01:47:41 Then today, in themiddle of nowhere...
1818 01:47:43 lost, had a revelation.
1819 01:47:46 An insight so sweeping,so clear.
1820 01:47:50 It's me, George.
1821 01:47:52 See, I didn't see it before
1822 01:47:54 because I neverexperienced the other side.
1823 01:47:55 I'm the defendant...
1824 01:47:58 and the plaintiffsimultaneously.
1825 01:48:00 I file against myself,
1826 01:48:01 I represent myself,I convict myself,
1827 01:48:03 hereby expanding the fullscope of the legal desert
1828 01:48:06 because the judgment's built in.The only thing left
1829 01:48:09 is forgiveness,and I grant that to myself.
1830 01:48:13 An act doesn't makethe person guilty
1831 01:48:15 unless the mindis guilty as well.
1832 01:48:20 Of course... Of courseI expect there'll be challenges,
1833 01:48:23 as there's no precedent
1834 01:48:26 or derivativeinterpretations,
1835 01:48:29 but the argument is sound.
1836 01:48:33 The premise true.I have no doubt
1837 01:48:35 it'll be upheld by any and allcourts of law.
1838 01:48:37 You're insane.
1839 01:48:39 Never been more clear.
1840 01:48:41 - That's what we'll argue.- Now, watch what you say.
1841 01:48:43 You don't represent me,
1842 01:48:45 so the rules of confidentialitydon't apply.
1843 01:48:47 My entire defensewill be based
1844 01:48:49 on the unequivocalrecitation of the truth.
1845 01:48:56 I know you get it, George.
1846 01:49:01 You have sucha tremendous future.
1847 01:49:02 It's so bright, I...
1848 01:49:04 I swear, it's....
1849 01:49:06 It's blinding.
1850 01:49:12 Jesus.

1852 01:50:41 Hello?
1853 01:50:49 Of course I remember you,that's why I gave you my card.
1854 01:52:00 I... I like the ideaof starting the conversation
1855 01:52:02 with how protestis still relevant or not,
1856 01:52:06 because, you know,we approach these things
1857 01:52:10 with a certain tradition,
1858 01:52:13 a certain, you know, uh,repetition of behavior,
1859 01:52:17 and sometimes afterthinking through it,
1860 01:52:20 we have to findnew approaches.
1861 01:52:31 To whom it may concern,
1862 01:52:34 I'm returningthe reward money.
1863 01:52:36 Taking it was wrong,
1864 01:52:38 and I'm compelledto remedy my mistake.
1865 01:52:40 I did spend $5,547.27,which I will repay.
1866 01:52:47 I bought three suits,size 50 regular.
1867 01:52:50 And I did buy two pairsof Italian loafers, size 11.
1868 01:52:54 One black, one brown.
1869 01:52:59 We were all formedof frailty
1870 01:53:02 and error.
1871 01:53:03 Let us pardon,reciprocally,
1872 01:53:06 each other's folly.
1873 01:53:09 That is the first law
1874 01:53:12 of nature.
