1
00:00:05,875 --> 00:00:08,138
New York, New York!
2
00:00:10,793 --> 00:00:12,403
Oh, my goodness.
3
00:00:12,447 --> 00:00:15,537
I can't even begin to tell you
how overwhelmed I am.
4
00:00:15,580 --> 00:00:18,409
It would be my great honor
5
00:00:18,453 --> 00:00:22,413
to serve as your city's
district attorney!
6
00:00:25,677 --> 00:00:27,766
Now I have
to thank A.D.A. Kenneth Kiehl,
7
00:00:27,810 --> 00:00:29,768
the man
behind the man.
8
00:00:29,812 --> 00:00:31,944
I have never run for office.
9
00:00:31,988 --> 00:00:33,729
I've never even considered it.
10
00:00:33,772 --> 00:00:35,470
He showed me the way.
11
00:00:35,513 --> 00:00:36,732
Thank you.
12
00:00:36,775 --> 00:00:38,560
I also have
13
00:00:38,603 --> 00:00:41,128
to thank my sister Isabella,
14
00:00:41,171 --> 00:00:44,435
without whose encouragement
and support
15
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,568
none of this
would have happened.
16
00:00:46,611 --> 00:00:48,744
And...
17
00:00:48,787 --> 00:00:52,617
I also want
to thank her new, old, husband,
18
00:00:52,661 --> 00:00:54,880
my friend
19
00:00:54,924 --> 00:00:57,927
and my old boss, Dr. Jason Bull.
20
00:01:01,235 --> 00:01:03,628
Talk about an end of an era.
21
00:01:05,891 --> 00:01:07,806
Jason?
22
00:01:07,850 --> 00:01:10,200
Have you seen her...
her rattle thing?
23
00:01:10,244 --> 00:01:12,681
-The pig one or the cat one?
Dada!
24
00:01:12,724 --> 00:01:14,900
The cat one,
her favorite one.
25
00:01:14,944 --> 00:01:16,989
Yeah, it's right
-here in the bag.
-Dada, Mama.
26
00:01:17,033 --> 00:01:18,991
You know where you're going?
27
00:01:19,035 --> 00:01:23,431
Uh, the florist, wedding
photographer, party planner.
28
00:01:23,474 --> 00:01:25,128
You know, our wedding is
on Saturday,
29
00:01:25,172 --> 00:01:27,522
and it still feels like
we're just nailing things down.
30
00:01:27,565 --> 00:01:29,872
It seems crazy.
31
00:01:29,915 --> 00:01:32,614
Why don't you take the SUV?
It's right downstairs.
32
00:01:32,657 --> 00:01:34,442
Okay, sure.
33
00:01:34,485 --> 00:01:37,575
Hey, do you want
to go in Daddy's car?
34
00:01:37,619 --> 00:01:40,578
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
35
00:01:42,189 --> 00:01:43,668
Yes, Tony?
36
00:01:43,712 --> 00:01:45,975
Dr. Bull, your guest is here.
37
00:01:47,977 --> 00:01:49,718
Doctor.
38
00:01:49,761 --> 00:01:52,068
District Attorney Sherman.
39
00:01:52,938 --> 00:01:55,898
Former...
District Attorney Sherman.
40
00:01:57,726 --> 00:01:59,858
I'm vaccinated.
You vaccinated?
41
00:01:59,902 --> 00:02:01,860
I am.
Oh, good.
42
00:02:01,904 --> 00:02:03,949
Then I'm gonna
take this damn thing off.
43
00:02:03,993 --> 00:02:06,256
-Huh. Great minds.
-Yeah.
44
00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:09,564
Thanks for seeing me,
sneaking me into your home.
45
00:02:09,607 --> 00:02:11,174
Yeah.
46
00:02:11,218 --> 00:02:13,481
David, I just...
47
00:02:13,524 --> 00:02:18,355
I just don't see any way in
the world that I can help you.
48
00:02:18,399 --> 00:02:20,314
I mean, Benny--
49
00:02:20,357 --> 00:02:22,577
he's my lead attorney
and my best friend,
50
00:02:22,620 --> 00:02:25,057
my fiancée's brother, and he
51
00:02:25,101 --> 00:02:28,060
is running to take
over your job. He's...
52
00:02:28,104 --> 00:02:31,368
six points ahead in the poll
as of this morning. I just...
53
00:02:31,412 --> 00:02:33,196
I know all that,
54
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,372
but I'm in a fight
for my life, Jason.
55
00:02:35,416 --> 00:02:37,940
I can't go to jail.
56
00:02:37,983 --> 00:02:42,031
I can't do that
to my family. I just...
57
00:02:44,033 --> 00:02:46,078
...can't.
58
00:02:47,602 --> 00:02:49,212
I need you.
59
00:02:50,387 --> 00:02:51,997
No, you don't.
60
00:02:52,041 --> 00:02:55,044
There are thousands of other
firms out there in the city.
61
00:02:55,087 --> 00:02:57,307
Hmm? What happened to the one
you were working with?
62
00:02:57,351 --> 00:02:59,614
I fired them yesterday.
63
00:03:01,050 --> 00:03:04,880
They wanted me to settle,
and I'm innocent.
64
00:03:04,923 --> 00:03:09,232
Oh, David, I wish that I could
help you here, but...
65
00:03:09,276 --> 00:03:11,713
I don't see any way
of making this work.
66
00:03:11,756 --> 00:03:13,715
Like I said.
67
00:03:13,758 --> 00:03:16,108
I mean, not without
destroying Benny.
68
00:03:16,152 --> 00:03:18,328
I don't think
you're understanding me.
69
00:03:18,372 --> 00:03:20,765
Um...
70
00:03:20,809 --> 00:03:23,986
in my entire career,
71
00:03:24,029 --> 00:03:27,772
I never compromised myself.
72
00:03:27,816 --> 00:03:29,948
Except once.
73
00:03:29,992 --> 00:03:32,037
For you.
74
00:03:33,952 --> 00:03:36,955
If you make me go
somewhere else,
75
00:03:36,999 --> 00:03:39,175
I'm gonna have to tell them
76
00:03:39,219 --> 00:03:43,266
about that favor I did
for you eight years ago.
77
00:03:43,310 --> 00:03:45,877
That favor I did
for you and Benny.
78
00:03:45,921 --> 00:03:49,838
And that really will
destroy him.
79
00:03:49,881 --> 00:03:52,536
They'll take away his license
to practice law.
80
00:03:52,580 --> 00:03:54,799
Maybe even find a way
to go after him criminally
81
00:03:54,843 --> 00:03:57,367
after all these years.
82
00:03:58,194 --> 00:04:00,631
Benny doesn't know
about any of that.
83
00:04:00,675 --> 00:04:02,677
Excellent.
84
00:04:03,504 --> 00:04:06,768
Let's keep it that way.
Help me, Jason.
85
00:04:08,509 --> 00:04:11,816
I swear to you...
86
00:04:11,860 --> 00:04:15,124
I am an innocent man.
87
00:04:18,823 --> 00:04:20,869
Someone oversleep?
88
00:04:20,912 --> 00:04:22,697
Someone somewhere, I'm sure.
89
00:04:24,046 --> 00:04:26,048
Who is it?
90
00:04:27,397 --> 00:04:29,704
Hey. Looking for me?
91
00:04:29,747 --> 00:04:31,836
Yes...
92
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,274
I was.
93
00:04:36,363 --> 00:04:39,409
We've been through a lot,
haven't we?
94
00:04:40,410 --> 00:04:44,196
Uh, yeah, yeah.
95
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,633
More than a lot.
96
00:04:45,676 --> 00:04:47,983
Why?
97
00:04:48,026 --> 00:04:51,116
You're not getting all
emotional on me, are you?
98
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,816
Hey, look, I can still
lose this thing.
99
00:04:54,859 --> 00:04:57,340
Polls have been wrong
in the past.
100
00:04:57,384 --> 00:04:59,908
You trust me?
101
00:04:59,951 --> 00:05:02,606
What are you talking about?
102
00:05:02,650 --> 00:05:04,695
Of course I trust you.
103
00:05:04,739 --> 00:05:09,047
I mean, we've virtually spent
every single day together
104
00:05:09,091 --> 00:05:11,136
for the last eight years,
so, yeah.
105
00:05:11,180 --> 00:05:12,877
You're comfortable with me,
106
00:05:12,921 --> 00:05:14,270
we're comfortable
with each other,
107
00:05:14,314 --> 00:05:16,707
but I'm asking you,
do you trust me?
108
00:05:16,751 --> 00:05:18,796
Asked and answered.
109
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:21,016
Yes, I trust you.
110
00:05:21,059 --> 00:05:23,758
A thousand ways
from Sunday. Yes.
111
00:05:24,933 --> 00:05:27,065
David Sherman came
to see me today.
112
00:05:27,109 --> 00:05:29,894
He wants TAC
to represent him in court.
113
00:05:29,938 --> 00:05:32,332
You serious?
114
00:05:32,375 --> 00:05:35,335
That's crazy.
He knows I work here.
115
00:05:35,378 --> 00:05:37,989
He knows I'm running
to be the new D.A.
116
00:05:38,033 --> 00:05:40,427
I mean, that's... that's crazy.
117
00:05:40,470 --> 00:05:42,385
I know it is,
but here's the thing.
118
00:05:42,429 --> 00:05:45,214
His original defense team
took a poll,
119
00:05:45,257 --> 00:05:48,130
and it turns out 82%
120
00:05:48,173 --> 00:05:50,262
of potential jurors believe
121
00:05:50,306 --> 00:05:52,526
that he resigned
because he was guilty.
122
00:05:52,569 --> 00:05:55,529
And his lawyers urged him
to take a plea.
123
00:05:55,572 --> 00:05:58,662
Makes sense.
124
00:05:58,706 --> 00:06:00,534
Except he's not gonna do that,
125
00:06:00,577 --> 00:06:04,451
because he swears on his life
that he is innocent.
126
00:06:05,669 --> 00:06:07,192
He says he was set up.
127
00:06:07,236 --> 00:06:10,718
I mean, this is a man who,
of his own accord, who resigned
128
00:06:10,761 --> 00:06:13,416
because he thought
it would be better for the city.
129
00:06:13,460 --> 00:06:16,201
He didn't think it would be fair
to the electorate
130
00:06:16,245 --> 00:06:19,074
to have a D.A.
who was embroiled
131
00:06:19,117 --> 00:06:21,598
by a court fight
he was in the middle of.
132
00:06:21,642 --> 00:06:23,948
And that is who he is.
133
00:06:23,992 --> 00:06:26,298
I've always liked Dave Sherman.
134
00:06:26,342 --> 00:06:28,257
I've never made a secret of it.
135
00:06:28,300 --> 00:06:31,391
Yeah. Remember how
you and I used to joke
136
00:06:31,434 --> 00:06:34,176
that the only problem
Sherman had as D.A.
137
00:06:34,219 --> 00:06:36,526
is that he was too nice,
too principled?
138
00:06:36,570 --> 00:06:39,616
Well, it turns out
we were right.
139
00:06:39,660 --> 00:06:42,227
Now he wants
to fight this thing.
140
00:06:42,271 --> 00:06:45,361
And he needs the right jury
to do that,
141
00:06:45,405 --> 00:06:48,538
and he feels very strongly
that it should be us.
142
00:06:48,582 --> 00:06:50,322
I mean, me.
143
00:06:50,366 --> 00:06:52,542
Obviously, I wouldn't want you
involved in this.
144
00:06:52,586 --> 00:06:55,937
You're not seriously thinking
about helping him, are you?
145
00:06:55,980 --> 00:06:58,113
I agreed to it this morning.
146
00:06:58,156 --> 00:07:00,463
Oh, you did?
147
00:07:00,507 --> 00:07:03,814
Well,
where does that leave me, Bull?
148
00:07:03,858 --> 00:07:06,382
It leaves you six points
ahead in the D.A.'s race.
149
00:07:06,426 --> 00:07:08,036
Yeah, but the second
you announce
150
00:07:08,079 --> 00:07:09,385
that you're taking the case,
151
00:07:09,429 --> 00:07:11,256
the media's gonna
come after me.
152
00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:13,563
They're gonna say, "Hey,
don't you still work at TAC?
153
00:07:13,607 --> 00:07:16,261
"Are you saying that-that
Dave Sherman is innocent?
154
00:07:16,305 --> 00:07:18,699
"Are you saying
that you condone the corruption
155
00:07:18,742 --> 00:07:20,135
that led to him resigning?"
156
00:07:20,178 --> 00:07:21,702
I know it's tricky, Benny,
157
00:07:21,745 --> 00:07:22,964
but you and your team will
figure out something to say.
158
00:07:23,007 --> 00:07:24,966
-That's your answer?
-Yes.
159
00:07:25,009 --> 00:07:27,403
That is my answer.
160
00:07:27,447 --> 00:07:30,493
Why are you doing this to me?
161
00:07:30,537 --> 00:07:34,105
I'm not doing this to you.
162
00:07:34,889 --> 00:07:37,108
You just got to trust me, Benny.
163
00:07:37,848 --> 00:07:40,634
Anyone else know?
164
00:07:40,677 --> 00:07:43,158
No, just you.
165
00:07:43,201 --> 00:07:45,421
I'd like to keep it that way.
166
00:07:51,166 --> 00:07:53,124
So let me get this straight.
167
00:07:53,168 --> 00:07:56,084
You stab me in the back,
and then you ask me
168
00:07:56,127 --> 00:07:58,390
to please keep it a secret.
169
00:08:00,175 --> 00:08:02,394
Whatever you say, Bull.
170
00:08:15,756 --> 00:08:19,542
In about two hours, there's
going to be a press announcement
171
00:08:19,586 --> 00:08:22,371
that David Sherman has
officially fired his counsel
172
00:08:22,414 --> 00:08:25,679
and hired TAC to represent him
against charges of corruption
173
00:08:25,722 --> 00:08:28,203
that have been leveled
by the State's Attorney General.
174
00:08:28,246 --> 00:08:30,945
Wait a second. David Sherman,
the dirty district attorney
175
00:08:30,988 --> 00:08:33,164
that Benny is
running to replace?
176
00:08:33,208 --> 00:08:36,472
For what it's worth,
I don't believe he's dirty.
177
00:08:36,516 --> 00:08:40,128
And I strongly believe
that he is innocent.
178
00:08:40,171 --> 00:08:41,564
I also believe he's my friend.
179
00:08:41,608 --> 00:08:45,133
And yeah,
it's that David Sherman.
180
00:08:45,176 --> 00:08:47,527
Isn't Benny also a friend?
181
00:08:47,570 --> 00:08:50,573
TAC is a business,
and Mr. Sherman needs our help.
182
00:08:50,617 --> 00:08:53,750
Mr. Palmer, you will be
our attorney of record.
183
00:08:53,794 --> 00:08:56,536
-Okay.
-Okay, so here's
what happened.
184
00:08:56,579 --> 00:09:00,452
Two years ago,
during an afternoon of
185
00:09:00,496 --> 00:09:02,672
unusually blustery winds,
a construction crane
186
00:09:02,716 --> 00:09:05,196
in Midtown Manhattan toppled
over, killed a pedestrian
187
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,589
on the street below.
188
00:09:06,633 --> 00:09:08,069
Now the owner
of the construction company
189
00:09:08,112 --> 00:09:10,680
that owned and operated
the crane in question
190
00:09:10,724 --> 00:09:13,117
was charged
with negligent homicide.
191
00:09:13,161 --> 00:09:14,597
And after he was charged,
192
00:09:14,641 --> 00:09:16,338
he paid a visit
to the D.A.'s office.
193
00:09:16,381 --> 00:09:18,122
The two men spoke at length,
194
00:09:18,166 --> 00:09:20,777
and shortly thereafter,
the charges were dropped.
195
00:09:20,821 --> 00:09:23,650
So wait. Is that why he's being
charged with corruption?
196
00:09:23,693 --> 00:09:25,216
No.
197
00:09:25,260 --> 00:09:28,611
The reason D.A. Sherman was
charged with corruption was that
198
00:09:28,655 --> 00:09:31,353
after the negligent homicide
charge was dropped,
199
00:09:31,396 --> 00:09:33,485
the attorney general
held a review
200
00:09:33,529 --> 00:09:35,575
of his
campaign finance accounts.
201
00:09:35,618 --> 00:09:37,707
And it turns out--
would you believe it--
202
00:09:37,751 --> 00:09:41,015
almost $100,000 worth of
campaign contributions suddenly
203
00:09:41,058 --> 00:09:43,931
appeared from the
construction company owner,
204
00:09:43,974 --> 00:09:46,194
from his employees,
from his relatives,
205
00:09:46,237 --> 00:09:48,022
even some of his neighbors.
206
00:09:48,065 --> 00:09:50,285
So the inference is the
construction company owner
207
00:09:50,328 --> 00:09:52,156
bought his way out
of the conviction?
208
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,636
Yeah, but the guy resigned.
209
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:56,117
He didn't even fight it.
He just... resigned.
210
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,642
No. He resigned
so he could fight it.
211
00:09:59,686 --> 00:10:02,253
Unfortunately, most of the
public doesn't see it that way,
212
00:10:02,297 --> 00:10:05,822
which is where we come in.
213
00:10:05,866 --> 00:10:07,084
Yes, Ms. Rentzel.
214
00:10:07,128 --> 00:10:08,520
Is it okay to ask
215
00:10:08,564 --> 00:10:10,740
how Benny feels
about all this?
216
00:10:10,784 --> 00:10:13,525
Well, I'm sure he is surprised.
217
00:10:13,569 --> 00:10:15,702
I'm sure he's somewhat hurt.
218
00:10:15,745 --> 00:10:18,618
You should feel
free to ask him.
219
00:10:22,534 --> 00:10:24,449
What can I do to help?
220
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:27,714
Are you talking to me?
221
00:10:27,757 --> 00:10:31,021
The man who betrayed the
most likable man in the world?
222
00:10:31,065 --> 00:10:32,893
It's my job to help.
223
00:10:32,936 --> 00:10:36,984
Thank you. I guess we need
to find out everything we can
224
00:10:37,027 --> 00:10:38,246
about this attorney general.
225
00:10:38,289 --> 00:10:39,508
He's the one who
brought the charges
226
00:10:39,551 --> 00:10:40,814
against our client.
I'd love to know why.
227
00:10:40,857 --> 00:10:42,467
Sounds like a
job for Danny.
228
00:10:42,511 --> 00:10:44,469
I'd love to get a look
at Sherman's campaign records.
229
00:10:44,513 --> 00:10:45,862
I want to know
the name of everyone
230
00:10:45,906 --> 00:10:49,474
that gave even a dime
to get him elected.
231
00:10:51,346 --> 00:10:54,349
Look, everything I am doing
232
00:10:54,392 --> 00:10:57,831
I promise you I am doing because
I care about your brother.
233
00:10:57,874 --> 00:10:59,484
You know, just because
the man comes to you,
234
00:10:59,528 --> 00:11:03,706
just because the man needs
you... you can still say "no."
235
00:11:03,750 --> 00:11:07,101
Okay, it is a little bit
more complicated than that.
236
00:11:07,144 --> 00:11:09,451
And I wish it were simple and
I could just explain it to you,
237
00:11:09,494 --> 00:11:11,105
but I can't.
238
00:11:11,888 --> 00:11:13,890
Tell me why it isn't.
239
00:11:14,195 --> 00:11:15,196
I can't.
240
00:11:15,239 --> 00:11:16,937
You just have to trust me.
241
00:11:19,374 --> 00:11:22,203
I think we should put
this wedding thing on hold.
242
00:11:22,246 --> 00:11:26,468
I mean, it's not a threat,
it's just... with the election
243
00:11:26,511 --> 00:11:28,644
and-and COVID's
not even completely over
244
00:11:28,688 --> 00:11:30,733
and then now this?
245
00:11:30,777 --> 00:11:32,648
It just...
246
00:11:32,692 --> 00:11:34,128
It all feels like a sign,
247
00:11:34,171 --> 00:11:36,391
like-like the world's
trying to tell us something
248
00:11:36,434 --> 00:11:39,394
or just trying to tell me
something, anyway.
249
00:11:42,223 --> 00:11:43,790
Okay, everybody, everybody,
250
00:11:43,833 --> 00:11:46,009
please, please, please.
251
00:11:46,053 --> 00:11:48,533
I know what you are all here
to ask me.
252
00:11:48,577 --> 00:11:51,754
Okay? And just like you,
I found out this morning
253
00:11:51,798 --> 00:11:54,365
that former District Attorney
Sherman has hired
254
00:11:54,409 --> 00:11:57,281
the Trial Analysis Corporation
to represent him
255
00:11:57,325 --> 00:12:00,415
in his upcoming court fight
against the State of New York.
256
00:12:00,458 --> 00:12:04,071
So that there is no ambiguity
about my relationship
257
00:12:04,114 --> 00:12:05,855
with regard to Mr. Sherman,
258
00:12:05,899 --> 00:12:09,990
I am hereby announcing that I,
from this moment forward,
259
00:12:10,033 --> 00:12:14,603
choose not to be employed by
the Trial Analysis Corporation,
260
00:12:14,646 --> 00:12:18,694
in any capacity,
and have offered my resignation
261
00:12:18,738 --> 00:12:21,436
via notarized letter.
262
00:12:21,479 --> 00:12:24,656
Good to see you all,
and thank you for listening.
263
00:12:30,619 --> 00:12:32,229
Hmm?
264
00:12:34,492 --> 00:12:35,711
Hey.
265
00:12:35,755 --> 00:12:38,105
Did I wake you?
266
00:12:38,148 --> 00:12:41,064
No. Where are you?
267
00:12:41,108 --> 00:12:42,500
The office.
268
00:12:42,544 --> 00:12:45,025
Will probably sleep here
tonight.
269
00:12:46,853 --> 00:12:49,681
You don't have to, uh,
put up such a fuss.
270
00:12:50,770 --> 00:12:52,815
I didn't tell you
not to come home.
271
00:12:52,859 --> 00:12:54,817
No, I know.
272
00:12:55,818 --> 00:12:57,298
How's the candidate?
273
00:12:58,212 --> 00:13:02,172
Well, he seems
kind of bulletproof.
274
00:13:02,216 --> 00:13:03,652
He made his announcement today
275
00:13:03,695 --> 00:13:06,568
and his numbers went up
a point in the polls.
276
00:13:06,611 --> 00:13:09,049
Ah, well,
you can thank me later.
277
00:13:11,007 --> 00:13:12,530
How's the case?
278
00:13:13,401 --> 00:13:15,795
Pretty bullet-riddled, actually.
279
00:13:17,187 --> 00:13:18,580
Tell me there'll be a day
280
00:13:18,623 --> 00:13:20,277
that I'll actually understand
all of this.
281
00:13:20,321 --> 00:13:21,801
I swear to you
there will be a day
282
00:13:21,844 --> 00:13:24,107
when you actually
understand all of this.
283
00:13:24,151 --> 00:13:26,631
I'm holding you to that.
284
00:13:26,675 --> 00:13:29,852
So I heard from some people
around the office
285
00:13:29,896 --> 00:13:32,550
that my Saturday
just got freed up.
286
00:13:32,594 --> 00:13:34,726
I seem to remember that, uh,
287
00:13:34,770 --> 00:13:37,338
there was some kind of event
on the calendar.
288
00:13:43,997 --> 00:13:46,695
It was called
on account of rain.
289
00:13:46,738 --> 00:13:48,871
Aha.
290
00:13:48,915 --> 00:13:50,873
Well, what's your best guess?
291
00:13:50,917 --> 00:13:54,094
Will we be playing
a makeup game someday
292
00:13:54,137 --> 00:13:56,009
when the sun comes back out?
293
00:13:56,836 --> 00:13:59,316
Let's just get through
the rain first.
294
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,797
Okay.
295
00:14:03,190 --> 00:14:06,410
Talk tomorrow.
296
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:20,947
Jack Martel. You ever
heard of this guy?
297
00:14:20,990 --> 00:14:23,340
No, sounds like
a game show host.
298
00:14:23,384 --> 00:14:24,864
Taylor. Yo.
299
00:14:24,907 --> 00:14:26,822
I got emailed the
revised witness list
300
00:14:26,866 --> 00:14:28,389
very early this morning.
301
00:14:28,432 --> 00:14:31,000
The name at the top of
it is "Jack Martel."
302
00:14:31,044 --> 00:14:32,872
M-A-R-T-E-L.
303
00:14:33,873 --> 00:14:35,657
Hey. So what do you know?
304
00:14:35,700 --> 00:14:38,616
Well, assuming Jack
is actually Jonathan-- no "H"--
305
00:14:38,660 --> 00:14:40,923
he seems to be
a professional investigator
306
00:14:40,967 --> 00:14:43,404
who actually worked for our
client for almost four years,
307
00:14:43,447 --> 00:14:46,189
but then left him
to go work for-- wait for it--
308
00:14:46,233 --> 00:14:47,799
the attorney general.
309
00:14:47,843 --> 00:14:49,236
And when did this happen?
310
00:14:49,279 --> 00:14:50,977
Almost two years ago.
Right around the time
311
00:14:51,020 --> 00:14:53,936
the A.G. announced he was
considering a run for Senate.
312
00:14:59,072 --> 00:15:01,291
So, Jack Martel
used to work for you?
313
00:15:01,335 --> 00:15:03,598
Yeah. Why you ask?
314
00:15:03,641 --> 00:15:05,600
He's the first witness
up this morning.
315
00:15:05,643 --> 00:15:08,037
Any idea
why he jumped ship
316
00:15:08,081 --> 00:15:10,431
and went to the attorney
general's office?
317
00:15:10,474 --> 00:15:13,913
Well, he...
he never said as much,
318
00:15:13,956 --> 00:15:16,872
but the A.G. was making noise
about a Senate run,
319
00:15:16,916 --> 00:15:18,830
and I was letting it
be known that I thought
320
00:15:18,874 --> 00:15:20,484
I was the man for that job,
321
00:15:20,528 --> 00:15:22,791
and I think Martel voted
with his feet.
322
00:15:22,834 --> 00:15:25,141
Nothing like loyalty.
323
00:15:25,185 --> 00:15:27,622
My name is Jack Martel.
I'm an investigator
324
00:15:27,665 --> 00:15:29,624
for the New York
Attorney General's Office.
325
00:15:29,667 --> 00:15:31,626
And how did you
come to be involved
326
00:15:31,669 --> 00:15:33,367
with the matter
before the court today?
327
00:15:33,410 --> 00:15:36,065
Little less than two years ago,
a Manhattan contractor
328
00:15:36,109 --> 00:15:39,286
named Dean Burroughs was working
on a construction project
329
00:15:39,329 --> 00:15:42,811
on the West Side of Manhattan
when one of his cranes,
330
00:15:42,854 --> 00:15:45,683
which was over 40 stories
in the air, collapsed,
331
00:15:45,727 --> 00:15:47,990
killing a man on
the street below.
332
00:15:48,034 --> 00:15:50,862
It was announced that
Mr. Burroughs, the contractor,
333
00:15:50,906 --> 00:15:53,996
was being charged
with negligent homicide,
334
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,781
and then, a short time later,
it was announced
335
00:15:56,825 --> 00:15:58,914
that the charges were dropped.
336
00:15:58,958 --> 00:16:01,656
No real explanation,
just dropped.
337
00:16:01,699 --> 00:16:04,876
That's when my boss's
phone started ringing.
338
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,008
And as you explained previously,
339
00:16:06,052 --> 00:16:08,010
your boss
is the attorney general.
340
00:16:08,054 --> 00:16:09,533
That's right. That's correct.
341
00:16:09,577 --> 00:16:11,100
What did you discover?
342
00:16:11,144 --> 00:16:15,322
I discovered that after
Mr. Burroughs was arrested,
343
00:16:15,365 --> 00:16:18,020
he requested
and was given an opportunity
344
00:16:18,064 --> 00:16:21,763
to meet with then
District Attorney Mr. Sherman.
345
00:16:22,633 --> 00:16:24,635
And what was the purpose
of that meeting?
346
00:16:24,679 --> 00:16:27,769
Mr. Burroughs asked him
to dismiss
347
00:16:27,812 --> 00:16:30,032
the homicide charges
against him.
348
00:16:30,076 --> 00:16:32,817
And did the defendant dismiss
the charges
349
00:16:32,861 --> 00:16:33,993
against Mr. Burroughs?
350
00:16:34,036 --> 00:16:37,039
Eight days after their meeting.
351
00:16:37,083 --> 00:16:38,867
-And then what
happened next?
352
00:16:38,910 --> 00:16:41,522
We took a shot
in the dark.
353
00:16:41,565 --> 00:16:43,002
We did a forensic accounting
354
00:16:43,045 --> 00:16:45,656
of Mr. Sherman's
campaign finances,
355
00:16:45,700 --> 00:16:48,181
and we discovered
that in the weeks and months
356
00:16:48,224 --> 00:16:50,966
following the dismissal,
Mr. Burroughs
357
00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:53,925
gave $10,000
to Mr. Sherman's campaign.
358
00:16:53,969 --> 00:16:57,625
His wife contributed
another six.
359
00:16:57,668 --> 00:17:01,063
His father contributed
another $12,000
360
00:17:01,107 --> 00:17:02,586
and his brother
and sister-in-law
361
00:17:02,630 --> 00:17:04,893
each contributed 13.
362
00:17:04,936 --> 00:17:06,938
And their total contributions?
363
00:17:06,982 --> 00:17:08,331
$54,000.
364
00:17:08,375 --> 00:17:10,638
And in addition, another $45,000
365
00:17:10,681 --> 00:17:14,120
that was traced back
to friends, neighbors
366
00:17:14,163 --> 00:17:17,384
and employees
of Mr. Burroughs's business.
367
00:17:17,427 --> 00:17:21,083
A total of roughly $100,000.
368
00:17:21,127 --> 00:17:23,216
Did you ask Mr. Sherman
about the money?
369
00:17:23,259 --> 00:17:26,175
Of course. I remember
what he said to me.
370
00:17:26,219 --> 00:17:30,614
"You know how these things work.
One hand washes the other."
371
00:17:32,007 --> 00:17:34,879
And then he said,
"$100,000 actually gets you
372
00:17:34,923 --> 00:17:36,881
a pretty good scrub."
373
00:17:39,406 --> 00:17:40,494
Thank you.
374
00:17:40,537 --> 00:17:42,887
No further questions.
375
00:17:48,154 --> 00:17:49,416
Morning, Mr. Martel.
376
00:17:49,459 --> 00:17:50,634
Good morning.
377
00:17:50,678 --> 00:17:53,115
So, let me make sure
that I understand.
378
00:17:53,159 --> 00:17:55,248
You expect this jury to believe
379
00:17:55,291 --> 00:17:57,119
that the district attorney
of Manhattan,
380
00:17:57,163 --> 00:18:00,296
a man who's raised millions of
dollars in campaign donations,
381
00:18:00,340 --> 00:18:04,909
would be willing to throw it
all away for $100,000?
382
00:18:04,953 --> 00:18:06,128
I'm just
telling you what I know.
383
00:18:06,172 --> 00:18:07,869
I'm telling you what he... A-And...
384
00:18:07,912 --> 00:18:11,046
And after he supposedly
put his reputation
385
00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:14,093
and his career
and his livelihood on the line,
386
00:18:14,136 --> 00:18:16,486
that he would brag about it?
387
00:18:16,530 --> 00:18:18,140
To you?
388
00:18:18,184 --> 00:18:21,839
A man who quit working
for him with no notice?
389
00:18:23,624 --> 00:18:24,842
That's what
you're telling the jury?
390
00:18:24,886 --> 00:18:27,236
Objection. Badgering.
391
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:28,846
Sustained.
392
00:18:28,890 --> 00:18:30,979
Let me ask you another question.
393
00:18:31,022 --> 00:18:33,634
Did you conduct
an independent investigation
394
00:18:33,677 --> 00:18:35,288
of the crane accident?
395
00:18:35,331 --> 00:18:36,158
I did.
396
00:18:36,202 --> 00:18:38,595
Negligent homicide requires
397
00:18:38,639 --> 00:18:42,512
proof that Burroughs' actions
caused the death of the victim.
398
00:18:42,556 --> 00:18:45,950
Isn't it entirely reasonable
that my client determined
399
00:18:45,994 --> 00:18:50,085
that those facts did not satisfy
that burden of proof?
400
00:18:50,129 --> 00:18:51,956
All I can tell you
is he was more than happy
401
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,176
to share with me
that his campaign pocketed
402
00:18:54,220 --> 00:18:57,875
a lot of money in the aftermath
of that decision.
403
00:18:58,702 --> 00:19:00,400
Mm-- You didn't record it?
404
00:19:04,969 --> 00:19:06,928
You didn't record it?
405
00:19:07,711 --> 00:19:08,973
Nope.
406
00:19:09,017 --> 00:19:11,541
And there were
no other witnesses?
407
00:19:11,585 --> 00:19:13,195
Nope.
408
00:19:13,239 --> 00:19:16,198
Well, it makes sense, you worked
for the man for a long time,
409
00:19:16,242 --> 00:19:18,766
and clearly you two
knew each other well,
410
00:19:18,809 --> 00:19:23,162
and safe to say that he'd
trust you with his secrets?
411
00:19:23,205 --> 00:19:25,294
He obviously did.
412
00:19:25,338 --> 00:19:27,688
So can you tell us another?
413
00:19:27,731 --> 00:19:30,081
-Excuse me?
-Tell me
another secret.
414
00:19:30,125 --> 00:19:32,910
Tell me another time, in all the
time that you worked with him,
415
00:19:32,954 --> 00:19:35,304
that he broke the law,
416
00:19:35,348 --> 00:19:37,219
betrayed his oath of office,
417
00:19:37,263 --> 00:19:38,655
betrayed the trust of the people
418
00:19:38,699 --> 00:19:42,485
that put him in that office
multiple times.
419
00:19:42,529 --> 00:19:44,705
Mr. Martel,
420
00:19:44,748 --> 00:19:47,751
you just testified under oath
that District Attorney Sherman
421
00:19:47,795 --> 00:19:50,363
was willing to let a guilty man
go scot-free
422
00:19:50,406 --> 00:19:53,017
for the right price.
423
00:19:53,061 --> 00:19:55,716
Now, are you trying
to convince this jury
424
00:19:55,759 --> 00:19:57,500
that in all the time
that you worked for him,
425
00:19:57,544 --> 00:20:01,591
that you never saw him
commit any other illegal acts?
426
00:20:03,419 --> 00:20:06,379
I'm waiting for an answer, sir.
427
00:20:07,554 --> 00:20:09,599
Not off the top of my head.
428
00:20:09,643 --> 00:20:11,079
Bingo.
429
00:20:11,122 --> 00:20:12,515
Well, if any other part
of your head
430
00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:15,214
comes up with another answer,
don't be shy.
431
00:20:15,257 --> 00:20:16,911
Feel free to let us know.
432
00:20:16,954 --> 00:20:19,783
Now, let me
ask you this.
433
00:20:19,827 --> 00:20:22,743
Are you aware
that the attorney general,
434
00:20:22,786 --> 00:20:25,572
the prosecutor's boss--
and your boss--
435
00:20:25,615 --> 00:20:27,443
is eyeing a run for the Senate?
436
00:20:27,487 --> 00:20:29,576
Objection! Relevance?
Your Honor...
437
00:20:29,619 --> 00:20:32,361
This cuts to the very core
of our defense, Your Honor,
438
00:20:32,405 --> 00:20:34,450
as this is obviously
a politically-motivated
439
00:20:34,494 --> 00:20:36,713
persecution of an innocent man
440
00:20:36,757 --> 00:20:40,456
who happens to be
contemplating the same seat.
441
00:20:40,500 --> 00:20:42,719
You see how he snuck
that motive in there?
442
00:20:42,763 --> 00:20:46,288
No question, no witness.
Think someone might object?
443
00:20:46,332 --> 00:20:48,725
Objection.
Counsel is testifying.
444
00:20:48,769 --> 00:20:52,294
Enough. You know better
than that, Mr. Palmer.
445
00:20:52,338 --> 00:20:53,904
He sure does. Thank goodness.
446
00:20:53,948 --> 00:20:55,558
I'm sorry,
Your Honor.
447
00:20:55,602 --> 00:20:58,431
But I submit that the attorney
general's political ambitions
448
00:20:58,474 --> 00:21:03,087
are wholly relevant to show
his bias towards Mr. Sherman.
449
00:21:03,131 --> 00:21:06,787
He pulled a Britney Spears
there. Oops, he did it again.
450
00:21:07,657 --> 00:21:09,877
Ms. West, the man makes a point.
451
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,052
Fine.
452
00:21:11,095 --> 00:21:13,010
Let the record show
453
00:21:13,054 --> 00:21:14,925
that we stipulate
the attorney general has filed
454
00:21:14,969 --> 00:21:17,319
the requisite papers
for a Senate run.
455
00:21:17,363 --> 00:21:18,581
Stipulation noted.
456
00:21:18,625 --> 00:21:20,931
Any further questions,
Counselor?
457
00:21:20,975 --> 00:21:24,021
Nope. Not a one.
458
00:21:27,111 --> 00:21:29,853
True confession?
459
00:21:29,897 --> 00:21:31,942
For the first time today,
460
00:21:31,986 --> 00:21:34,380
I thought, "Bull's been
right about this all along.
461
00:21:34,423 --> 00:21:35,729
"Man's innocent.
462
00:21:35,772 --> 00:21:37,252
"Of course he had
to take this case.
463
00:21:37,296 --> 00:21:38,993
"Of course he wouldn't allow
that man to go to jail
464
00:21:39,036 --> 00:21:40,995
"for something that's
becoming more and more obvious
465
00:21:41,038 --> 00:21:44,738
that he did not do."
466
00:21:44,781 --> 00:21:46,783
You might want to reserve
judgement on all that.
467
00:21:48,002 --> 00:21:50,483
What, are you saying
he isn't innocent?
468
00:21:50,526 --> 00:21:53,312
I'm saying maybe
I'm not so smart.
469
00:21:53,355 --> 00:21:55,705
Maybe not so steeped in virtue.
470
00:21:55,749 --> 00:21:58,752
Oh, come on, Bull. You
upset a lot of people.
471
00:21:58,795 --> 00:22:00,275
You destroyed
an important relationship.
472
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:02,712
You... you were supposed
to get married this weekend.
473
00:22:02,756 --> 00:22:04,888
And I admire
how you didn't
474
00:22:04,932 --> 00:22:07,587
let anything or anyone
compromise your principles.
475
00:22:07,630 --> 00:22:09,763
That's something, man.
476
00:22:09,806 --> 00:22:12,156
I had a gun to my head.
477
00:22:19,381 --> 00:22:21,252
What's this for?
478
00:22:22,471 --> 00:22:24,865
I just hired you.
479
00:22:24,908 --> 00:22:28,651
And now I would like to invoke
attorney-client privilege.
480
00:22:32,786 --> 00:22:34,614
About eight or so years ago,
481
00:22:34,657 --> 00:22:36,703
maybe the third case
Benny and I ever had,
482
00:22:36,746 --> 00:22:39,009
this anesthesiologist calls us
out of the blue.
483
00:22:39,053 --> 00:22:41,447
Nice guy. Terrible story.
484
00:22:41,490 --> 00:22:44,798
His wife and child
had been killed
485
00:22:44,841 --> 00:22:47,278
in what looked like
a horrific murder-suicide.
486
00:22:47,322 --> 00:22:50,194
The mother had...
suffocated the baby
487
00:22:50,238 --> 00:22:52,240
and then shot herself.
488
00:22:53,067 --> 00:22:54,808
But as the investigation
went along,
489
00:22:54,851 --> 00:22:57,811
the detectives started
to think... otherwise.
490
00:22:57,854 --> 00:22:59,900
They started to think
the whole thing looked staged.
491
00:22:59,943 --> 00:23:03,469
And that this anesthesiologist
had killed his family.
492
00:23:03,512 --> 00:23:06,646
So... Benny and I got
down to business.
493
00:23:06,689 --> 00:23:08,648
We did our thing--
you've seen it.
494
00:23:08,691 --> 00:23:09,910
Benny can dance.
495
00:23:09,953 --> 00:23:11,825
I mean, he got out there...
496
00:23:11,868 --> 00:23:13,827
Watching him in court...
497
00:23:13,870 --> 00:23:15,437
took my breath away.
498
00:23:15,481 --> 00:23:18,397
And four weeks and a hell
of a closing argument later...
499
00:23:19,310 --> 00:23:21,530
...the jury voted not guilty.
500
00:23:21,574 --> 00:23:22,923
All right, Benny.
501
00:23:22,966 --> 00:23:24,490
Mm-hmm.
502
00:23:25,404 --> 00:23:28,842
Yeah, so Benny and his client
went out to celebrate.
503
00:23:28,885 --> 00:23:30,670
And sometime after midnight,
504
00:23:30,713 --> 00:23:32,976
after having more drinks
than Benny could count,
505
00:23:33,020 --> 00:23:35,326
our client confessed
to his attorney
506
00:23:35,370 --> 00:23:37,503
that he actually did it.
507
00:23:37,546 --> 00:23:39,374
That he did kill
his family.
508
00:23:39,418 --> 00:23:41,420
And now, thanks to Benny
and my combined skills,
509
00:23:41,463 --> 00:23:44,684
he was gonna have
the life he really wanted.
510
00:23:44,727 --> 00:23:46,816
Oh, my...
511
00:23:46,860 --> 00:23:48,035
What did you do?
512
00:23:48,078 --> 00:23:49,210
I didn't do anything.
513
00:23:49,253 --> 00:23:50,646
But Benny beat
the crap out of the guy.
514
00:23:50,690 --> 00:23:52,256
Knocked out two teeth,
broke a rib.
515
00:23:52,300 --> 00:23:53,606
Gave him a concussion.
516
00:23:53,649 --> 00:23:55,869
That's called assault,
by the way.
517
00:23:55,912 --> 00:23:57,218
You go to jail for that.
518
00:23:57,261 --> 00:23:59,786
Lose your license
to practice law...
519
00:23:59,829 --> 00:24:01,744
for that.
520
00:24:03,267 --> 00:24:05,052
Benny was, understandably,
in a panic.
521
00:24:05,095 --> 00:24:07,097
And I kept telling him he didn't
have anything to worry about.
522
00:24:07,141 --> 00:24:09,404
A man who just got away
with murder is not gonna run
523
00:24:09,448 --> 00:24:11,711
to the cops 'cause somebody
messed up his smile.
524
00:24:11,754 --> 00:24:13,234
Yeah...
525
00:24:13,277 --> 00:24:15,062
I was wrong.
526
00:24:15,105 --> 00:24:17,543
The anesthesiologist
filed charges.
527
00:24:17,586 --> 00:24:19,632
Oh, no.
528
00:24:20,763 --> 00:24:22,809
So I went to the D.A.
529
00:24:22,852 --> 00:24:24,550
Unbeknownst to Benny.
530
00:24:24,593 --> 00:24:26,247
Our client.
531
00:24:26,290 --> 00:24:28,075
Mr. Sherman.
532
00:24:28,118 --> 00:24:29,555
The most honest man
in the world.
533
00:24:29,598 --> 00:24:32,558
Never bent a rule,
never broke a law.
534
00:24:33,559 --> 00:24:36,039
But now it was my turn.
535
00:24:36,083 --> 00:24:39,260
And I danced and I pleaded and
I did everything I could.
536
00:24:39,303 --> 00:24:42,263
And finally D.A. Sherman got it.
537
00:24:43,090 --> 00:24:45,658
'Cause he knew Benny,
he knew he was a good man.
538
00:24:45,701 --> 00:24:47,790
-Yeah.
-Knew he had a good heart.
539
00:24:48,965 --> 00:24:51,228
So he took
the murderer's complaint
540
00:24:51,272 --> 00:24:54,318
and D.A. Sherman
conveniently just lost it.
541
00:24:54,362 --> 00:24:56,538
It just disappeared.
542
00:24:56,582 --> 00:25:00,281
And to Benny, it seemed like
the whole thing just blew over.
543
00:25:01,064 --> 00:25:03,240
Well...
544
00:25:03,284 --> 00:25:05,765
that's n-nice, I guess.
545
00:25:05,808 --> 00:25:08,768
And then, as luck would have it,
our anesthesiologist friend
546
00:25:08,811 --> 00:25:11,205
had a little party with himself
and some amyl nitrate
547
00:25:11,248 --> 00:25:12,989
and ended up choking
on his own vomit.
548
00:25:13,033 --> 00:25:16,602
Well, sounds like, uh,
it was all meant to be.
549
00:25:16,645 --> 00:25:18,429
Sounds like it.
550
00:25:18,473 --> 00:25:21,737
Did I mention that I told
the D.A. I owed him one?
551
00:25:22,869 --> 00:25:25,306
And that, by the way,
what the D.A. and I did,
552
00:25:25,349 --> 00:25:26,655
that...
553
00:25:26,699 --> 00:25:28,788
is called
obstruction of justice.
554
00:25:28,831 --> 00:25:32,182
And for that, they lock you up
and throw away the key.
555
00:25:36,230 --> 00:25:37,405
Okay.
556
00:25:43,237 --> 00:25:46,806
I am up one
point in the polls.
557
00:25:46,849 --> 00:25:49,983
So, you hear anything
about the trial?
558
00:25:50,026 --> 00:25:52,594
Whole thing's pretty much
a foregone conclusion.
559
00:25:52,638 --> 00:25:56,467
Lots of muscle on one side,
almost none on Sherman's.
560
00:25:57,425 --> 00:25:59,645
Hey. Don't underestimate TAC.
561
00:25:59,688 --> 00:26:03,170
Don't underestimate the will
of the attorney general.
562
00:26:03,953 --> 00:26:05,607
Look, I don't know
if Sherman actually did
563
00:26:05,651 --> 00:26:07,000
the things they're claiming.
564
00:26:07,043 --> 00:26:09,045
I just know,
as someone who worked for him,
565
00:26:09,089 --> 00:26:12,048
the guy made it impossible
for people like me to get ahead.
566
00:26:12,092 --> 00:26:13,615
Held his staff
567
00:26:13,659 --> 00:26:15,617
to an impossible standard.
568
00:26:15,661 --> 00:26:17,837
I don't know. I mean, I...
569
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,709
just always saw him
as a straight shooter.
570
00:26:20,753 --> 00:26:22,102
An idealist.
571
00:26:22,145 --> 00:26:23,364
You know? There's...
572
00:26:23,407 --> 00:26:24,844
nothing wrong with that.
573
00:26:24,887 --> 00:26:27,542
There is if you're trying
to get things done.
574
00:26:27,586 --> 00:26:30,414
For the people and for yourself.
575
00:26:34,549 --> 00:26:36,072
Oh, come on, Benny.
576
00:26:36,116 --> 00:26:38,597
Nobody who's any good
at the business of government
577
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:39,772
is completely straight.
578
00:26:39,815 --> 00:26:40,903
You can't be.
579
00:26:40,947 --> 00:26:43,645
There's too much
money changing hands.
580
00:26:43,689 --> 00:26:45,168
Anybody who's smart is planning
581
00:26:45,212 --> 00:26:47,475
their exit strategy
and their retirement package
582
00:26:47,518 --> 00:26:49,042
from the moment
they get in there.
583
00:26:49,085 --> 00:26:50,434
They have to.
584
00:26:50,478 --> 00:26:52,915
That's why a-a guy like Sherman
had to go.
585
00:26:52,959 --> 00:26:55,265
He stands in the way
of too many things,
586
00:26:55,309 --> 00:26:56,571
too many people,
587
00:26:56,615 --> 00:26:58,878
too much money.
588
00:26:58,921 --> 00:27:01,315
It'll be different when you
and I are running things.
589
00:27:02,751 --> 00:27:04,187
When I first heard
about the indictments,
590
00:27:04,231 --> 00:27:06,625
I was stunned.
591
00:27:06,668 --> 00:27:09,410
I had been district attorney
of Manhattan for over a decade
592
00:27:09,453 --> 00:27:12,413
and always prided myself
on being above reproach.
593
00:27:12,456 --> 00:27:14,284
Then why resign?
594
00:27:14,328 --> 00:27:15,895
Why not stick it out and fight?
595
00:27:15,938 --> 00:27:19,681
I had a strong feeling about
who it was I was up against.
596
00:27:19,725 --> 00:27:22,075
I knew it was gonna be
a long and difficult fight,
597
00:27:22,118 --> 00:27:24,164
one that was gonna demand
all of my attention,
598
00:27:24,207 --> 00:27:25,513
and I...
599
00:27:25,556 --> 00:27:27,689
felt that the people of New York
600
00:27:27,733 --> 00:27:30,431
deserved better
than a part-time D.A.
601
00:27:30,474 --> 00:27:33,564
Well, let's talk
about this meeting that you had
602
00:27:33,608 --> 00:27:36,350
with the contractor,
Dean Burroughs.
603
00:27:36,393 --> 00:27:39,701
You see now
how having such a meeting
604
00:27:39,745 --> 00:27:42,138
might have given the appearance
of impropriety?
605
00:27:42,182 --> 00:27:44,053
Actually, I don't.
606
00:27:44,097 --> 00:27:46,708
Uh, Mr. Burroughs was
a constituent.
607
00:27:46,752 --> 00:27:48,536
I effectively worked for him,
608
00:27:48,579 --> 00:27:50,799
just as I do
for every other citizen.
609
00:27:50,843 --> 00:27:53,323
He hadn't yet been found guilty
of anything.
610
00:27:53,367 --> 00:27:56,283
So, looking back, you...
611
00:27:56,326 --> 00:27:58,328
you don't regret
taking that meeting?
612
00:27:58,372 --> 00:28:01,157
No. I don't regret
taking the meeting.
613
00:28:01,201 --> 00:28:03,072
I believe
it was my responsibility
614
00:28:03,116 --> 00:28:04,465
to take that meeting.
615
00:28:04,508 --> 00:28:06,510
So, with regard
to this crane accident,
616
00:28:06,554 --> 00:28:09,818
did you ever meet with anyone
else other than Dean Burroughs,
617
00:28:09,862 --> 00:28:12,473
the man who was accused
of negligent homicide?
618
00:28:12,516 --> 00:28:15,258
Yes. I had a meeting
with Charlotte Morris,
619
00:28:15,302 --> 00:28:17,521
the widow of the man who died
when the crane fell.
620
00:28:18,392 --> 00:28:21,700
And did Mrs. Morris express
any opinion about the case?
621
00:28:21,743 --> 00:28:24,833
She believed what happened
was a tragic accident.
622
00:28:24,877 --> 00:28:27,836
She didn't want to see
any charges filed.
623
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,534
Mr. Burroughs had already agreed
to a sizable
624
00:28:30,578 --> 00:28:32,667
multimillion-dollar
civil settlement,
625
00:28:32,711 --> 00:28:35,801
and Mrs. Morris felt that was
a satisfactory resolution.
626
00:28:35,844 --> 00:28:38,717
She said the family
had been through enough pain
627
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,110
and they needed to move on
with their lives,
628
00:28:41,154 --> 00:28:42,546
you know, start to heal.
629
00:28:42,590 --> 00:28:44,723
And I agreed to allow her that.
630
00:28:44,766 --> 00:28:46,550
You know,
everyone keeps forgetting,
631
00:28:46,594 --> 00:28:50,511
this crane didn't just
fall out of the sky.
632
00:28:50,554 --> 00:28:52,774
We were in the middle
of a wind event
633
00:28:52,818 --> 00:28:56,778
with gusts that, at times,
topped 90 miles an hour.
634
00:28:56,822 --> 00:28:58,562
And the last time that happened
in this city
635
00:28:58,606 --> 00:29:00,086
was back in the 1960s.
636
00:29:00,129 --> 00:29:03,306
And I think Mrs. Morris was
very mindful of that.
637
00:29:03,350 --> 00:29:04,307
She viewed it
638
00:29:04,351 --> 00:29:05,831
as an act of God,
639
00:29:05,874 --> 00:29:08,398
as did the
insurance company.
640
00:29:08,442 --> 00:29:10,096
As did I.
641
00:29:10,139 --> 00:29:12,533
The only one who appears not to
have embraced that point of view
642
00:29:12,576 --> 00:29:14,013
is the attorney general.
643
00:29:14,056 --> 00:29:16,580
I have no further questions,
Your Honor.
644
00:29:16,624 --> 00:29:20,149
Then court is adjourned
until 9:00 a.m. tomorrow.
645
00:29:20,193 --> 00:29:21,760
As the people
who've been with me
646
00:29:21,803 --> 00:29:23,196
the longest,
I'm sure you found my actions
647
00:29:23,239 --> 00:29:26,286
over the past week
a little puzzling, maybe...
648
00:29:26,329 --> 00:29:27,853
even disappointing.
649
00:29:27,896 --> 00:29:29,376
And now,
650
00:29:29,419 --> 00:29:31,204
here we are,
deep enough into the trial
651
00:29:31,247 --> 00:29:34,250
for any reasonable person
to suspect that we...
652
00:29:34,294 --> 00:29:35,904
will not prevail.
653
00:29:35,948 --> 00:29:38,820
So, I just wanted to thank
you all for your hard work
654
00:29:38,864 --> 00:29:41,301
and apologize if I let you down.
655
00:29:43,956 --> 00:29:46,045
For what it's worth,
656
00:29:46,088 --> 00:29:48,656
from what I have
heard in court
657
00:29:48,699 --> 00:29:50,701
yesterday and today,
658
00:29:50,745 --> 00:29:53,530
it sounds to me like you
guys were punching holes
659
00:29:53,574 --> 00:29:55,706
in the other
side's arguments.
660
00:29:55,750 --> 00:29:57,839
It's gonna take more than holes.
661
00:29:57,883 --> 00:30:00,711
We need
a unanimous not guilty vote,
662
00:30:00,755 --> 00:30:02,061
or else we are looking
at a mistrial.
663
00:30:02,104 --> 00:30:03,540
And given that it is
the attorney general
664
00:30:03,584 --> 00:30:04,977
who is bringing this case
665
00:30:05,020 --> 00:30:07,893
and it seems like he's got
some skin in the game...
666
00:30:08,763 --> 00:30:11,070
...you can be sure he is...
667
00:30:11,113 --> 00:30:13,812
perfectly happy
to try this again next year.
668
00:30:13,855 --> 00:30:16,815
Which leaves our client
on hold for a whole year,
669
00:30:16,858 --> 00:30:18,294
unable to move on
with his life
670
00:30:18,338 --> 00:30:20,209
and his reputation
destroyed.
671
00:30:20,253 --> 00:30:23,647
I'm-I'm confused.
What is it that we need?
672
00:30:23,691 --> 00:30:25,954
I mean, what is it that's gonna
turn this whole thing around?
673
00:30:25,998 --> 00:30:29,610
Just... ...let me know
and I'll find it.
674
00:30:31,046 --> 00:30:33,570
A witness who will...
675
00:30:33,614 --> 00:30:37,052
...take the stand
and say in a clear voice
676
00:30:37,096 --> 00:30:38,445
this whole thing
was a setup.
677
00:30:38,488 --> 00:30:40,273
It exists
not to right a wrong
678
00:30:40,316 --> 00:30:42,841
but to sideline
a political rival.
679
00:30:45,060 --> 00:30:46,366
Anyway,
680
00:30:46,409 --> 00:30:49,543
I have got nothing more
to contribute.
681
00:30:49,586 --> 00:30:52,720
So I'm gonna go retire to my...
682
00:30:52,763 --> 00:30:54,243
office couch.
683
00:30:54,287 --> 00:30:57,029
Ms. Rentzel. Ms. Morgan.
Mr. Palmer. Ms. James.
684
00:30:57,072 --> 00:30:58,334
Thank you.
685
00:30:59,945 --> 00:31:01,207
I have something.
686
00:31:01,250 --> 00:31:04,123
It's probably nothing.
I just found it curious.
687
00:31:04,166 --> 00:31:05,515
But I've been going through
688
00:31:05,559 --> 00:31:07,169
Sherman's
campaign contribution logs.
689
00:31:07,213 --> 00:31:08,301
And for what it's worth,
690
00:31:08,344 --> 00:31:09,302
everything looks
on the up-and-up.
691
00:31:09,345 --> 00:31:10,869
And then
I thought, "Hey,
692
00:31:10,912 --> 00:31:13,306
what's good for the goose
is good for the gander." So then
693
00:31:13,349 --> 00:31:14,829
I started poking around
694
00:31:14,873 --> 00:31:17,397
the attorney general's
campaign contribution logs.
695
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,616
-And?
-Again, it's
probably nothing.
696
00:31:19,660 --> 00:31:22,968
But... he opened
this Senate exploratory account,
697
00:31:23,011 --> 00:31:24,839
a place where people can donate
to his campaign
698
00:31:24,883 --> 00:31:26,928
even before
he officially announces.
699
00:31:26,972 --> 00:31:28,930
And?
700
00:31:28,974 --> 00:31:32,281
You know who donated $2,500?
701
00:31:32,325 --> 00:31:33,674
Ken Kiehl.
702
00:31:33,717 --> 00:31:35,197
Who's Ken Kiehl?
703
00:31:35,241 --> 00:31:38,461
Well, he's a guy who, on paper,
worked for D.A. Sherman.
704
00:31:38,505 --> 00:31:41,160
And since Sherman was
also talking about a Senate run,
705
00:31:41,203 --> 00:31:43,162
it just... seemed odd to me
706
00:31:43,205 --> 00:31:45,729
that he'd be contributing
to a competitor.
707
00:31:46,905 --> 00:31:48,428
Ken Kiehl.
708
00:31:48,471 --> 00:31:51,257
Izzy's always talking about him.
709
00:31:51,300 --> 00:31:53,737
He recruited Benny
to run for D.A.
710
00:32:00,744 --> 00:32:04,226
Is this where you volunteer
for the campaign?
711
00:32:04,270 --> 00:32:05,749
Wow.
712
00:32:07,186 --> 00:32:08,317
Send this to Ripley.
713
00:32:08,361 --> 00:32:09,623
He wouldn't believe it.
714
00:32:10,537 --> 00:32:11,930
Boss know
you're here?
715
00:32:11,973 --> 00:32:13,105
Nope.
716
00:32:15,107 --> 00:32:16,369
What can I do you for?
717
00:32:16,412 --> 00:32:18,023
I wanted
to talk to you.
718
00:32:18,066 --> 00:32:20,808
You're still a lawyer, right?
719
00:32:20,851 --> 00:32:23,289
Yeah.
720
00:32:25,421 --> 00:32:26,945
There.
721
00:32:28,424 --> 00:32:30,513
I just hired you.
722
00:32:30,557 --> 00:32:33,777
I'd like to invoke
attorney-client privilege.
723
00:32:44,310 --> 00:32:47,139
All rise. The New York State
Superior Court
724
00:32:47,182 --> 00:32:48,618
is now
in session,
725
00:32:48,662 --> 00:32:50,359
the Honorable Judge
Rand presiding.
726
00:32:50,403 --> 00:32:52,535
Is the defense
727
00:32:52,579 --> 00:32:55,799
prepared to rest? Uh, we
moving on to closing arguments?
728
00:32:55,843 --> 00:32:57,279
With the court's permission,
729
00:32:57,323 --> 00:33:00,065
we would actually like
to call one last witness.
730
00:33:00,108 --> 00:33:01,980
The defense would
like to call
731
00:33:02,023 --> 00:33:04,156
Benjamin Colón to the stand.
732
00:33:20,607 --> 00:33:22,174
Trust me.
733
00:33:23,914 --> 00:33:26,700
-Good morning, Mr. Colón.
-Good morning, Mr. Palmer.
734
00:33:26,743 --> 00:33:28,615
Now, do you know a prosecutor
735
00:33:28,658 --> 00:33:31,661
in the Manhattan D.A.'s office
named Kenneth Kiehl?
736
00:33:31,705 --> 00:33:34,142
I-I do. I know him well.
737
00:33:34,186 --> 00:33:37,145
In fact, he encouraged me
to run for the office
738
00:33:37,189 --> 00:33:40,540
that District Attorney Sherman
resigned.
739
00:33:40,583 --> 00:33:42,803
Objection. Relevance?
740
00:33:42,846 --> 00:33:44,848
Mr. Palmer,
741
00:33:44,892 --> 00:33:47,503
I assume
this is going somewhere.
742
00:33:47,547 --> 00:33:48,852
It is, Your Honor.
743
00:33:48,896 --> 00:33:50,680
And we'll get there
in the very near future.
744
00:33:50,724 --> 00:33:51,986
Yes, we will, Your Honor.
745
00:33:52,030 --> 00:33:55,076
But I would ask for
a little leeway.
746
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,122
Proceed.
747
00:33:58,210 --> 00:34:00,821
And to the best
of your knowledge,
748
00:34:00,864 --> 00:34:04,651
how long has A.D.A. Kiehl worked
in the Manhattan D.A.'s office?
749
00:34:04,694 --> 00:34:07,828
Uh, I believe he's been there
for about eight years.
750
00:34:07,871 --> 00:34:09,395
So, up until very recently,
751
00:34:09,438 --> 00:34:13,138
Mr. Sherman, my
client, was his boss?
752
00:34:13,181 --> 00:34:14,443
Yes.
753
00:34:14,487 --> 00:34:18,839
The defense would like
to offer into evidence
754
00:34:18,882 --> 00:34:22,103
a page
from the attorney general's
755
00:34:22,147 --> 00:34:24,497
Senate campaign accounts record.
756
00:34:24,540 --> 00:34:26,412
It shows that Mr. Ken Kiehl,
757
00:34:26,455 --> 00:34:29,371
who worked for
then District Attorney Sherman,
758
00:34:29,415 --> 00:34:32,113
made a donation of $2,500
759
00:34:32,157 --> 00:34:33,854
to the man who not only
760
00:34:33,897 --> 00:34:37,205
is seeking
the same office as his boss
761
00:34:37,249 --> 00:34:40,426
but also who brought
this legal action against him.
762
00:34:41,253 --> 00:34:43,168
-So entered.
Now, Mr. Colón,
763
00:34:43,211 --> 00:34:45,996
does the news of this
contribution surprise you?
764
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:47,781
It might have two weeks ago,
765
00:34:47,824 --> 00:34:50,610
but based on a conversation
we had the other night,
766
00:34:50,653 --> 00:34:53,395
uh, it makes perfect sense.
767
00:34:53,439 --> 00:34:55,136
And why is that?
768
00:34:55,180 --> 00:34:58,966
Well, Mr. Kiehl explained to me
that Mr. Sherman
769
00:34:59,009 --> 00:35:02,622
had been a thorn in the side
of many people in government,
770
00:35:02,665 --> 00:35:05,538
most especially
the attorney general.
771
00:35:05,581 --> 00:35:07,714
Objection! Relevance.
772
00:35:07,757 --> 00:35:11,631
Neither this... Mr. Kiehl
nor the attorney general
773
00:35:11,674 --> 00:35:13,502
-are on trial here.
Your Honor,
774
00:35:13,546 --> 00:35:15,983
the defense is trying to prove
that there was a conspiracy
775
00:35:16,026 --> 00:35:18,638
to oust District Attorney
Sherman from office
776
00:35:18,681 --> 00:35:22,294
and to effectively remove him
from the upcoming Senate race.
777
00:35:22,337 --> 00:35:23,512
Mr. Kiehl's comments
778
00:35:23,556 --> 00:35:25,688
go directly
to the heart of that matter.
779
00:35:25,732 --> 00:35:28,343
I concur. Objection overruled.
780
00:35:28,387 --> 00:35:30,476
You may continue, Mr. Palmer.
781
00:35:30,519 --> 00:35:33,348
And did Mr. Kiehl tell you
782
00:35:33,392 --> 00:35:35,089
why the attorney general
783
00:35:35,133 --> 00:35:36,917
and so many other people
in government
784
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:41,095
wanted to get rid
of District Attorney Sherman?
785
00:35:42,879 --> 00:35:46,361
He said he was too straight.
786
00:35:46,405 --> 00:35:47,928
Basically, too honest.
787
00:35:47,971 --> 00:35:49,712
Stood in the way
of too many things,
788
00:35:49,756 --> 00:35:53,194
too many people, too much money.
789
00:35:53,238 --> 00:35:55,370
He had to go.
790
00:35:55,414 --> 00:35:57,633
Thank you, Benny.
791
00:35:57,677 --> 00:36:00,070
He was too honest.
792
00:36:00,114 --> 00:36:03,117
Getting in the way
of too much money.
793
00:36:03,161 --> 00:36:05,424
He had to go.
794
00:36:08,122 --> 00:36:10,777
No further questions
for this witness.
795
00:36:17,349 --> 00:36:19,394
Mr. Colón,
796
00:36:19,438 --> 00:36:23,268
isn't it true
that up until last week,
797
00:36:23,311 --> 00:36:26,009
you worked for the very firm
798
00:36:26,053 --> 00:36:29,230
that is now defending
Mr. Sherman?
799
00:36:29,274 --> 00:36:30,579
That is true.
800
00:36:30,623 --> 00:36:35,018
Then why should anyone
on this jury believe you?
801
00:36:35,062 --> 00:36:37,804
The man who just questioned you
is your friend.
802
00:36:37,847 --> 00:36:40,589
The man he works
for is the father
803
00:36:40,633 --> 00:36:42,112
of your niece.
804
00:36:42,156 --> 00:36:45,768
The man they're defending
was someone you worked for
805
00:36:45,812 --> 00:36:48,989
at the end of your career
as a city prosecutor.
806
00:36:51,513 --> 00:36:54,037
And your point is?
807
00:36:54,081 --> 00:36:57,258
I have friends,
so I shouldn't be believed?
808
00:36:57,302 --> 00:36:59,042
Yes.
809
00:36:59,086 --> 00:37:02,307
The man who was questioning me
is my friend.
810
00:37:02,350 --> 00:37:04,134
A good friend.
811
00:37:04,178 --> 00:37:05,919
And the man
he is here defending--
812
00:37:05,962 --> 00:37:08,574
turns out he's a friend, too.
813
00:37:08,617 --> 00:37:10,619
Did me a huge
kindness once,
814
00:37:10,663 --> 00:37:13,013
and I didn't even
know about it.
815
00:37:13,056 --> 00:37:15,276
Now, that is a real friend.
816
00:37:16,799 --> 00:37:19,019
And my niece's father?
817
00:37:20,107 --> 00:37:24,024
Maybe the best friend I have
in the whole world.
818
00:37:24,067 --> 00:37:27,201
Maybe the best friend
I'll ever have.
819
00:37:28,289 --> 00:37:31,597
You want to know why
you should believe me?
820
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,425
I have everything to lose
821
00:37:33,468 --> 00:37:36,079
and nothing to gain
by coming here.
822
00:37:36,123 --> 00:37:37,864
As I'm sure you know,
823
00:37:37,907 --> 00:37:40,475
I'm running
to replace the defendant
824
00:37:40,519 --> 00:37:42,825
as the city's district attorney.
825
00:37:42,869 --> 00:37:47,482
And what you may or may not know
is that I am up in the polls.
826
00:37:47,526 --> 00:37:50,224
I am poised to win.
827
00:37:50,268 --> 00:37:54,010
Nevertheless,
I believe so strongly
828
00:37:54,054 --> 00:37:55,882
in what I'm telling you,
829
00:37:55,925 --> 00:37:57,492
I believe so strongly
830
00:37:57,536 --> 00:38:01,322
in former District Attorney
Sherman's innocence
831
00:38:01,366 --> 00:38:03,281
that...
832
00:38:03,324 --> 00:38:06,980
I'm officially withdrawing
from the race...
833
00:38:08,547 --> 00:38:11,419
...and am supporting
any and all efforts
834
00:38:11,463 --> 00:38:13,378
to return Mr. Sherman
to an office
835
00:38:13,421 --> 00:38:17,817
he never should have been forced
to give up in the first place.
836
00:38:23,083 --> 00:38:26,347
How's that
for a reason to believe me?
837
00:38:26,391 --> 00:38:29,002
Next question.
838
00:38:30,743 --> 00:38:32,875
You heard the man, Counselor.
839
00:38:32,919 --> 00:38:35,791
Next question.
840
00:38:42,407 --> 00:38:44,713
Jury was out in all
of eight minutes.
841
00:38:44,757 --> 00:38:46,280
That must be some
kind of record.
842
00:38:46,324 --> 00:38:48,543
Yeah, congrats
on the verdict. Not guilty.
843
00:38:48,587 --> 00:38:49,892
That's got to feel great.
844
00:38:49,936 --> 00:38:51,633
No, congrats to you.
845
00:38:51,677 --> 00:38:53,113
And thank you.
846
00:38:53,156 --> 00:38:54,375
I don't know how
to thank you.
847
00:38:54,419 --> 00:38:57,639
Well, I'm not the man
you should thank.
848
00:38:57,683 --> 00:38:59,902
Oh, no. I beg to differ.
849
00:39:01,426 --> 00:39:02,731
Thanks for doing that.
850
00:39:02,775 --> 00:39:04,690
Thanks for putting your dream
on hold for me.
851
00:39:04,733 --> 00:39:05,908
I owe you.
852
00:39:05,952 --> 00:39:07,823
I've owed you
for years and years
853
00:39:07,867 --> 00:39:09,390
and didn't even know it.
854
00:39:09,434 --> 00:39:10,957
Now we're even.
855
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,654
I just got a text from
the attorney general's office.
856
00:39:12,698 --> 00:39:15,178
They're issuing warrants
for Investigator Martel
857
00:39:15,222 --> 00:39:16,658
and Ken Kiehl's arrest.
858
00:39:16,702 --> 00:39:18,138
Perjury, conspiracy,
859
00:39:18,181 --> 00:39:20,270
obstruction of justice
and witness tampering.
860
00:39:20,314 --> 00:39:21,794
Going after everybody
but himself.
861
00:39:22,969 --> 00:39:24,405
Let's get some food.
862
00:39:24,449 --> 00:39:26,538
-This one's on me.
Yes, indeed.
863
00:39:26,581 --> 00:39:29,454
Text me where you end up.
I'll meet you later.
864
00:39:30,324 --> 00:39:31,891
Uh, hey, guys, you know what?
865
00:39:31,934 --> 00:39:34,154
I will meet you there as well.
866
00:39:38,288 --> 00:39:40,639
Speaking of getting
your job back...
867
00:39:40,682 --> 00:39:42,945
I should warn you.
868
00:39:42,989 --> 00:39:46,209
In light
of your abominable behavior,
869
00:39:46,253 --> 00:39:48,211
I'm gonna
make this hard on you.
870
00:39:48,255 --> 00:39:50,213
I'm not taking a penny less
871
00:39:50,257 --> 00:39:51,693
than half the money
you used to pay me.
872
00:39:51,737 --> 00:39:52,955
Sorry, no.
Double or nothing.
873
00:39:52,999 --> 00:39:54,957
Drive a hard bargain.
874
00:39:57,830 --> 00:39:59,788
I missed you, man.
875
00:39:59,832 --> 00:40:01,834
Yeah, I'm an idiot.
876
00:40:01,877 --> 00:40:04,053
I know you are.
877
00:40:05,664 --> 00:40:08,797
I got to find Izzy. There's
something with the sitter.
878
00:40:08,841 --> 00:40:11,365
But, uh, I'll
catch up with you.
879
00:40:11,409 --> 00:40:12,888
Yeah.
880
00:40:20,287 --> 00:40:23,159
I know this girl.
881
00:40:23,203 --> 00:40:25,901
You ditch your friends,
882
00:40:25,945 --> 00:40:29,122
buy her a couple of drinks,
and...
883
00:40:29,165 --> 00:40:33,169
and she's gonna let you
take her home and share her bed.
884
00:40:33,953 --> 00:40:35,781
Really?
885
00:40:35,824 --> 00:40:37,478
You think
I'm just gonna roll over
886
00:40:37,522 --> 00:40:39,393
and let you
have your way with me?
887
00:40:41,264 --> 00:40:44,006
What would you like to drink?
'Cause I can call ahead
888
00:40:44,050 --> 00:40:46,052
and have them sitting
on the bar for us.
889
00:40:51,274 --> 00:40:53,320
What was your name again?
890
00:40:59,108 --> 00:41:02,024
I don't understand. If Chunk
didn't tell you about Benny
891
00:41:02,068 --> 00:41:04,374
beating the bejesus
out of that guy, then who did?
892
00:41:04,418 --> 00:41:06,202
You know, I can't tell you.
893
00:41:06,246 --> 00:41:08,204
It's attorney-client privilege.
894
00:41:08,248 --> 00:41:11,947
Well, I don't understand,
'cause you're not an attorney.
895
00:41:11,991 --> 00:41:13,862
Um, I'm gonna go
check on Astrid.
896
00:41:13,906 --> 00:41:16,517
Will you pay the sitter? I think
she's probably in the kitchen.
897
00:41:16,561 --> 00:41:19,085
I do as I'm told.
898
00:41:26,788 --> 00:41:28,573
Judge Rand?
899
00:41:29,356 --> 00:41:32,794
What are you doing in my kitchen
at 11:00 at night?
900
00:41:32,838 --> 00:41:34,056
I don't know.
901
00:41:34,100 --> 00:41:35,928
I'm a judge.
902
00:41:35,971 --> 00:41:39,192
Some lady told me
a couple of crazy kids
903
00:41:39,235 --> 00:41:40,759
want to get married tonight.
904
00:41:40,802 --> 00:41:42,543
Surprise!
905
00:41:49,463 --> 00:41:52,422
-Come on. Yeah!
-You people are crazy.
906
00:41:52,466 --> 00:41:55,861
A surprise wedding
-in a kitchen?
Yes.
907
00:41:55,904 --> 00:41:57,950
Isn't it romantic?
908
00:41:57,993 --> 00:42:00,387
It is romantic.
909
00:42:07,829 --> 00:42:09,352
Dearly beloved,
910
00:42:09,396 --> 00:42:11,572
we are gathered here tonight
911
00:42:11,616 --> 00:42:14,444
in this
pretty damn romantic kitchen
912
00:42:14,488 --> 00:42:16,359
to witness the joining of Jason
913
00:42:16,403 --> 00:42:17,796
and Isabella
914
00:42:17,839 --> 00:42:19,537
in the sacred covenant
of marriage.
