1
00:00:01,435 --> 00:00:04,738
BULL: I'm Dr. Jason Bull.
I'm not a lawyer.

2
00:00:04,772 --> 00:00:08,576
I'm an expert in what's called
trial science.

3
00:00:08,609 --> 00:00:12,180
I study the jury's
behavioral patterns.

4
00:00:12,213 --> 00:00:14,615
I know what they're thinking
before they do.

5
00:00:16,217 --> 00:00:19,053
Everything my team learns
gets plugged into a matrix,

6
00:00:19,087 --> 00:00:22,456
which allows us
to assemble a shadow jury

7
00:00:22,490 --> 00:00:25,393
that is scary
in its predictive efficiency.

8
00:00:27,828 --> 00:00:30,331
The verdict you get
depends on me.

9
00:00:30,364 --> 00:00:33,367
And that's no bull.

10
00:00:37,471 --> 00:00:39,840
Don't tell me
plane crashes are bad luck.

11
00:00:39,873 --> 00:00:42,310
You think that Malaysia flight
just disappeared?

12
00:00:42,343 --> 00:00:45,613
Statistically, flying is still
the safest way to travel.

13
00:00:45,646 --> 00:00:47,181
It's a business,
isn't it?

14
00:00:47,215 --> 00:00:48,616
They need to be held
accountable.

15
00:00:48,649 --> 00:00:50,751
You have to trust
the pilot, but...

16
00:00:50,784 --> 00:00:52,453
it's a leap of faith.

17
00:00:52,486 --> 00:00:54,222
You get on a plane
without a second thought.

18
00:00:54,255 --> 00:00:56,324
But you have no idea
who's flying it.

19
00:00:56,357 --> 00:00:59,627
(thunder rumbling)

20
00:00:59,660 --> 00:01:01,662
(plane rattling)

21
00:01:01,695 --> 00:01:03,264
FLIGHT ATTENDANT:
Ladies and gentlemen,

22
00:01:03,297 --> 00:01:04,732
we'll be starting
our descent into Albany

23
00:01:04,765 --> 00:01:06,600
in just a few moments.
(crying)

24
00:01:06,634 --> 00:01:08,469
Flight attendants will be
coming through the cabin

25
00:01:08,502 --> 00:01:10,371
to pick up any last-minute
trash items.

26
00:01:10,404 --> 00:01:12,340
As a reminder,
we're entering some rough air,

27
00:01:12,373 --> 00:01:15,509
so please remain in your seats
with seatbelts fastened.

28
00:01:15,543 --> 00:01:17,111
(plane continues rattling)

29
00:01:20,248 --> 00:01:21,048
Ma'am.
(sniffles)

30
00:01:21,081 --> 00:01:23,117
You really need
to take your seat.

31
00:01:23,151 --> 00:01:25,486
I'm so sorry.

32
00:01:33,594 --> 00:01:35,363
This needs to
be up, sweetie.

33
00:01:35,396 --> 00:01:37,798
(rumbling grows louder,
passengers gasping)

34
00:01:39,533 --> 00:01:41,535
(passengers screaming)

35
00:01:43,204 --> 00:01:46,607
BENNY: It's a simple question,
Mr. Stowman.

36
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,276
VINCE:
In the world history of

37
00:01:48,309 --> 00:01:50,578
stupid questions,
that is the stupidest question.

38
00:01:50,611 --> 00:01:52,713
MARISSA:
Our client just torpedoed

39
00:01:52,746 --> 00:01:53,914
jurors two and eight.

40
00:01:53,947 --> 00:01:56,384
12 thinks he's a rebel.

41
00:01:56,417 --> 00:01:57,618
Lifelong fan, but I...

42
00:01:57,651 --> 00:01:59,420
VINCE: Wanker.
MARISSA: There goes 12.

43
00:01:59,453 --> 00:02:01,422
VINCE:
No further questions.

44
00:02:02,956 --> 00:02:05,726
This is after three days
of witness prep.

45
00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:08,296
We've seen worse. Maybe once.

46
00:02:09,497 --> 00:02:10,864
This is getting very tiresome,
Dr. Bull.

47
00:02:10,898 --> 00:02:11,799
Hey, hey.

48
00:02:11,832 --> 00:02:14,268
I totally get it.
You had a monster hit,

49
00:02:14,302 --> 00:02:16,270
and some one-hit wonder
comes out of the woodwork

50
00:02:16,304 --> 00:02:18,172
and says you stole
the hook to his song?

51
00:02:18,206 --> 00:02:19,807
It's your song.
That's right.

52
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,642
And it hurts, Dr. Bull.

53
00:02:21,675 --> 00:02:22,676
It hurts.

54
00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:23,944
I know it hurts.

55
00:02:23,977 --> 00:02:26,347
And that's why
we're gonna prove

56
00:02:26,380 --> 00:02:28,816
that it took you ten years
to write this song.

57
00:02:28,849 --> 00:02:29,950
And that it comes...

58
00:02:29,983 --> 00:02:31,485
(hits chest)
from your soul.

59
00:02:31,519 --> 00:02:33,654
(quietly):
I know it's about

60
00:02:33,687 --> 00:02:35,723
the collapse of
your first marriage.

61
00:02:35,756 --> 00:02:37,691
And I'm sorry.

62
00:02:37,725 --> 00:02:40,628
But you see
these people?

63
00:02:40,661 --> 00:02:42,263
They're the jury.

64
00:02:42,296 --> 00:02:44,232
They're normal, everyday
folks who come home one day,

65
00:02:44,265 --> 00:02:46,334
open their mail,
and they have a jury summons.

66
00:02:46,367 --> 00:02:47,401
They're like

67
00:02:47,435 --> 00:02:48,436
my fans?

68
00:02:48,469 --> 00:02:49,837
That's exactly
what they are.

69
00:02:49,870 --> 00:02:51,572
They're the same
people who throw

70
00:02:51,605 --> 00:02:53,441
panties on stage
and cheer for you.

71
00:02:53,474 --> 00:02:54,942
And you got to see
them like that.

72
00:02:54,975 --> 00:02:56,644
You got to talk
to them like that.

73
00:02:56,677 --> 00:02:57,678
MARISSA:
Bull?

74
00:02:57,711 --> 00:02:59,580
Rock on.

75
00:02:59,613 --> 00:03:01,315
Go get 'em.
MARISSA: Bull.

76
00:03:01,349 --> 00:03:03,451
All right.
Sir Vincent needs a fresh jury.

77
00:03:03,484 --> 00:03:04,518
Thank you guys very much.
Bull.

78
00:03:07,755 --> 00:03:10,958
NEWS ANCHOR: In the storm,
Essence Airlines Flight 1372

79
00:03:10,991 --> 00:03:14,228
went down approximately
three miles from Albany Airport.

80
00:03:14,262 --> 00:03:16,730
As you can see
from the wreckage behind me,

81
00:03:16,764 --> 00:03:20,368
all 62 passengers
are presumed dead.

82
00:03:20,401 --> 00:03:22,470
The president of Essence
Airlines is on the line.

83
00:03:22,503 --> 00:03:24,605
Call back.

84
00:03:24,638 --> 00:03:26,740
(newscast continues)

85
00:03:26,774 --> 00:03:28,742
Hamilton-Sena and the usual
airline litigation firms

86
00:03:28,776 --> 00:03:30,878
are calling to sign us up.

87
00:03:30,911 --> 00:03:33,347
Crash is less than an hour old,
and the vultures

88
00:03:33,381 --> 00:03:34,982
are already circling, huh?
BULL: Missing the runway

89
00:03:35,015 --> 00:03:36,984
does seem to inspire lawsuits.

90
00:03:37,017 --> 00:03:38,619
Sorry, I'm still
the new guy, but...

91
00:03:38,652 --> 00:03:40,354
you handled
aviation suits before?

92
00:03:40,388 --> 00:03:41,789
Every crash in the
last ten years.

93
00:03:41,822 --> 00:03:42,923
And, uh,
Bull's a pilot.

94
00:03:42,956 --> 00:03:44,725
Maybe it's because I'm a pilot.

95
00:03:44,758 --> 00:03:46,927
Just spoke with a former
colleague from the FBI.

96
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,662
Was it...?
Wasn't terrorism.

97
00:03:48,696 --> 00:03:50,798
Tried to land in a
storm with wind shear.

98
00:03:50,831 --> 00:03:53,901
NEWS ANCHOR: A shocking new
development, a miracle perhaps.

99
00:03:53,934 --> 00:03:56,304
The nose cone of the plane

100
00:03:56,337 --> 00:03:59,707
was severed from
the fuselage upon impact.

101
00:03:59,740 --> 00:04:01,975
Sources tell us
that one of the pilots

102
00:04:02,009 --> 00:04:04,645
was pulled from
the cockpit alive.

103
00:04:04,678 --> 00:04:07,047
Never heard of a pilot
surviving a crash.

104
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,650
On a crash like this.

105
00:04:09,683 --> 00:04:13,654
Before we sign any client--
victim or airline--

106
00:04:13,687 --> 00:04:15,556
we're gonna talk to this pilot.

107
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:17,591

108
00:04:20,328 --> 00:04:22,296

00:04:25,766 --> 00:04:27,668
The pilot is also being sued.

00:04:27,701 --> 00:04:30,471
(reporters clamoring)

112
00:04:30,504 --> 00:04:33,941
There are security concerns,
because of death threats.

113
00:04:33,974 --> 00:04:36,444
What's the
pilot's status?

114
00:04:36,477 --> 00:04:37,845
Thank you. That's all for today.

115
00:04:37,878 --> 00:04:38,879
(reporters clamoring)

116
00:04:43,851 --> 00:04:47,020
If you needed any convincing
lawyers are overpaid,

117
00:04:47,054 --> 00:04:50,824
the firm owns 18 floors of
prime New York real estate.

118
00:04:50,858 --> 00:04:53,494
Best behavior,
Dr. Bull.

119
00:04:54,795 --> 00:04:55,796
It's a pleasure
to meet you,

120
00:04:55,829 --> 00:04:56,797
Capt...
Captain Mathison.

121
00:04:56,830 --> 00:04:58,532
I'm glad you fully recovered.

122
00:04:59,967 --> 00:05:01,001
Dr. Bull, thank you.

123
00:05:02,436 --> 00:05:03,771
I can't say the last four months
have been easy,

124
00:05:03,804 --> 00:05:05,005
but I'm here.

125
00:05:05,038 --> 00:05:06,039
Oscar Weber.

126
00:05:06,073 --> 00:05:07,040
I'm her attorney.

127
00:05:07,074 --> 00:05:09,743
Gosh, yeah. I've heard
so much about you, Oscar.

128
00:05:09,777 --> 00:05:12,913
Thanks for taking an interest
in this case, Dr. Bull.

129
00:05:12,946 --> 00:05:15,683
Not sure there's a need
here for what you do.

130
00:05:15,716 --> 00:05:17,885
Getting the truth?

131
00:05:17,918 --> 00:05:19,387
Winning?

132
00:05:19,420 --> 00:05:20,788
We may not even take
this case to trial.

133
00:05:20,821 --> 00:05:22,756
Captain Mathison here
has been charged

134
00:05:22,790 --> 00:05:23,924
with gross negligence.

135
00:05:23,957 --> 00:05:25,659
If she were to
lose in court,

136
00:05:25,693 --> 00:05:27,361
she may be facing
criminal charges.

137
00:05:27,395 --> 00:05:28,962
TAYLOR: Dr. Bull,
how did you know

138
00:05:28,996 --> 00:05:31,031
I was Captain Mathison
and not him?

139
00:05:31,064 --> 00:05:32,933
Well, you don't bounce
when you walk.

140
00:05:32,966 --> 00:05:34,702
So clearly
you're former military,

141
00:05:34,735 --> 00:05:36,437
and you're wearing
aviator sunglasses,

142
00:05:36,470 --> 00:05:38,572
so I figured... pilot.

143
00:05:38,606 --> 00:05:42,543
Plus, one look at Oscar, and...
there's no way he's a pilot.

144
00:05:42,576 --> 00:05:44,344
All right, let's go hear

00:06:02,195 --> 00:06:03,296

I considered flying
on to Boston early on,

worse there, so...

167

We started our descent,

168
00:06:26,587 --> 00:06:28,656
we hit a massive wind shear.

Captain Mathison failed
to follow emergency protocol

172
00:06:36,930 --> 00:06:39,733

exactly a fair fight

176
00:06:45,105 --> 00:06:48,041
when the pilots usually aren't
around to defend themselves.

177
00:06:48,075 --> 00:06:50,578
WEBER: The flight recorder
backs up the report.

178
00:06:50,611 --> 00:06:53,547
A jury is going to be
inclined to believe it.

179
00:06:53,581 --> 00:06:54,815
Unless someone
bothers to give them

180
00:06:54,848 --> 00:06:56,917
a credible alternative
explanation.

181
00:06:56,950 --> 00:06:58,986
Her own copilot
questioned her decision.

182
00:06:59,019 --> 00:07:00,921
And you can read the
mind of a dead man?

183
00:07:00,954 --> 00:07:02,623
Good for you, Oscar.

184
00:07:02,656 --> 00:07:05,225
Do you think you
lost control?

185
00:07:05,258 --> 00:07:07,094
I don't remember.

186
00:07:07,127 --> 00:07:10,063
I wish I could tell you
why I did what I did that day,

187
00:07:10,097 --> 00:07:12,633
but it just...

188
00:07:12,666 --> 00:07:14,802
WEBER:
To my point,

189
00:07:14,835 --> 00:07:17,070
the plaintiffs are gonna
find that very convenient.

190
00:07:17,104 --> 00:07:18,839
She had six broken ribs.

191
00:07:18,872 --> 00:07:20,641
And a severe concussion.

192
00:07:20,674 --> 00:07:23,577
Memory loss does happen
with head trauma.

193
00:07:24,778 --> 00:07:25,813
You were in the military?

194
00:07:25,846 --> 00:07:28,616
I flew 139 sorties over Iraq.

195
00:07:28,649 --> 00:07:30,684
Got over 12,000 flight hours.

196
00:07:30,718 --> 00:07:32,553
So what's the last thing
you do remember?

197
00:07:32,586 --> 00:07:34,154
The wind shear alarm.

198
00:07:34,187 --> 00:07:36,189
Then I woke up in the hospital.

199
00:07:38,191 --> 00:07:40,661
They told me
everyone on the flight...

200
00:07:42,896 --> 00:07:46,133
And there were no survivors.

201
00:07:46,166 --> 00:07:47,768
And you feel responsible.

202
00:07:47,801 --> 00:07:50,938
My plane went down
and I lost 62 souls.

203
00:07:50,971 --> 00:07:52,740
Of course I feel responsible.

204
00:07:52,773 --> 00:07:54,708
I am responsible.

205
00:07:54,742 --> 00:07:58,211
WEBER: Taylor,
no one wants to see you

206
00:07:58,245 --> 00:08:02,583
endure a long,
difficult trial.

207
00:08:02,616 --> 00:08:05,986
Letwork
with the airlines.

208
00:08:06,019 --> 00:08:09,089
We can hash out a settlement
for these families.

209
00:08:09,122 --> 00:08:10,591
Lord knows

210
00:08:10,624 --> 00:08:12,660
what a jury is
going to come back with.

211
00:08:12,693 --> 00:08:13,727
We'll know.

212
00:08:13,761 --> 00:08:15,929
Excuse me?

213
00:08:15,963 --> 00:08:17,731
We'll know what a jury's
gonna come back with.

214
00:08:17,765 --> 00:08:19,166
We'll know because
that's what we do.

215
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:22,870
That's what trial science is.

216
00:08:22,903 --> 00:08:25,773
And something to
remember, Mr. Weber.

217
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,043
Just because Taylor
feels responsible

218
00:08:30,077 --> 00:08:31,912
doesn't mean
she's to blame.

219
00:08:34,815 --> 00:08:37,517
Captain Mathison,
I'd like to take your case.

220
00:08:39,319 --> 00:08:41,855
Huh. Okay, s-so what
do we do next?

221
00:08:41,889 --> 00:08:44,524
My team and I
go to work.

222
00:08:47,194 --> 00:08:49,630
I didn't sleep for a week
after that plane went down.

223
00:08:49,663 --> 00:08:51,298
I was lead mechanic
on the gate that day.

224
00:08:51,331 --> 00:08:53,133
Couldn't help but wonder
if I'd missed something.

225
00:08:53,166 --> 00:08:54,167
How you sleeping now?

226
00:08:54,201 --> 00:08:55,903
Eight hours a night.

227
00:08:55,936 --> 00:08:57,971
Look, I did all
my preflight checks.

228
00:08:58,005 --> 00:09:00,908
The NTSB was all up in here
and they still cleared my crew.

229
00:09:00,941 --> 00:09:03,276
The plane wasn't ten years old.

230
00:09:03,310 --> 00:09:05,045
There was barely a grease
spot on the repair log.

231
00:09:05,078 --> 00:09:06,079
So it was okay to fly.

232
00:09:06,113 --> 00:09:07,180
Waxed and ready to go.

233
00:09:07,214 --> 00:09:09,016
Well, that report
said that the pilots

234
00:09:09,049 --> 00:09:10,684
did their own inspection
before takeoff.

235
00:09:10,718 --> 00:09:12,986
Why is that?
They're required to
do a walk-around.

236
00:09:13,020 --> 00:09:15,188
But it wasn't both of them that
day; it was just the copilot.

237
00:09:15,222 --> 00:09:16,990
Is that standard procedure?

238
00:09:17,024 --> 00:09:18,091
It's always the copilot.

239
00:09:18,125 --> 00:09:20,127
She did her walk-around
like she was supposed to.

240
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,795
What do you...
what do you mean "she"?

241
00:09:21,829 --> 00:09:23,664
There are lady copilots.

242
00:09:23,697 --> 00:09:25,966
Well, the lady wasn't
the copilot on that flight.

243
00:09:25,999 --> 00:09:27,067
She was the captain.

244
00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:28,802
I mean...

245
00:09:28,836 --> 00:09:29,970
Damn.

246
00:09:33,273 --> 00:09:34,908
JUDGE: Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

247
00:09:34,942 --> 00:09:37,811
have you reached a verdict?

248
00:09:37,845 --> 00:09:39,379
Guilty of gross negligence.

249
00:09:39,412 --> 00:09:40,380
Verdict.

250
00:09:40,413 --> 00:09:43,116
Guilty.
Guilty.

251
00:09:43,150 --> 00:09:44,818
MARISSA: We've questioned
all of our mock jurors,

252
00:09:44,852 --> 00:09:46,353
and they've all found
Captain Mathison guilty.

253
00:09:46,386 --> 00:09:48,055
Let me work on her image.

254
00:09:48,088 --> 00:09:49,823
Maybe we're sending
the wrong message.

255
00:09:49,857 --> 00:09:51,959
I have some ideas that could
balance her military edge.

256
00:09:51,992 --> 00:09:54,895
Worth a shot. We varied our
emphasis on her military record,

257
00:09:54,928 --> 00:09:57,097
her stellar pilot rating;
nothing's changed the outcome.

258
00:09:57,130 --> 00:09:59,299
JUDGE: Mr. Foreman,
have you reached a verdict?

259
00:09:59,332 --> 00:10:00,801
FOREMAN:
We have, Your Honor.

260
00:10:00,834 --> 00:10:02,970
In the case of
Berman et al. v. Mathison,

261
00:10:03,003 --> 00:10:06,674
we find the defendant
not guilty.

262
00:10:06,707 --> 00:10:08,341
Not guilty? That's amazing.

263
00:10:08,375 --> 00:10:09,943
How'd he do that?

264
00:10:09,977 --> 00:10:11,812
It is amazing.

265
00:10:11,845 --> 00:10:13,113
All we had to do was

266
00:10:13,146 --> 00:10:15,816
adjust one basic
assumption about the case.

267
00:10:15,849 --> 00:10:17,751
Which one?
Meet our client,

268
00:10:17,785 --> 00:10:20,721
Captain Taylor Mathison.

269
00:10:20,754 --> 00:10:22,723
Uh, ladies and gentlemen,

270
00:10:22,756 --> 00:10:25,759
all this case needed
was a man's touch.

271
00:10:25,793 --> 00:10:27,094
(clicks tongue)

272
00:10:27,127 --> 00:10:29,296
Sorry. I'm just
the messenger.

273
00:10:29,329 --> 00:10:31,331
Not the misogynist.

274
00:10:38,371 --> 00:10:39,973
BENNY: So, juries are
finding her guilty

275
00:10:40,007 --> 00:10:41,274
because she's a woman.
MARISSA: But the data shows

276
00:10:41,308 --> 00:10:43,811
that when it comes
to female pilots,

277
00:10:43,844 --> 00:10:45,078
there is a clear gender bias.

278
00:10:45,112 --> 00:10:47,280
Yeah, but it's not 1977.

279
00:10:47,314 --> 00:10:48,882
There are women
in power everywhere.

280
00:10:48,916 --> 00:10:49,950
Well, it's subconscious.

281
00:10:49,983 --> 00:10:51,151
Things people aren't
even aware of,

282
00:10:51,184 --> 00:10:52,720
like getting the door
for a woman.

283
00:10:52,753 --> 00:10:54,121
BULL: Benny's always
been chivalrous.

284
00:10:54,154 --> 00:10:55,322
CABLE:
I don't get it.

285
00:10:55,355 --> 00:10:56,924
Is it really difficult
to open a door?

286
00:10:56,957 --> 00:10:58,792
It's back to where women
wore farthingales.

287
00:10:58,826 --> 00:11:00,160
(chuckles):
Farthingales.

288
00:11:00,193 --> 00:11:01,228
What's a farthingale?

289
00:11:01,261 --> 00:11:03,931
It's basically like
wearing an upside-down umbrella.

290
00:11:03,964 --> 00:11:05,799
All right,
my point is we have to

291
00:11:05,833 --> 00:11:07,935
dial gender bias
into Taylor's defense.

292
00:11:07,968 --> 00:11:10,303
Which is?
Which is...

293
00:11:11,905 --> 00:11:14,174
...an unavoidable
wall of wind

294
00:11:14,207 --> 00:11:16,343
tragically brought
down Flight 1372,

295
00:11:16,376 --> 00:11:19,379
and not even the skills of
a great pilot could save them.

296
00:11:19,412 --> 00:11:21,815
Okay. All right, I'm gonna
play devil's advocate.

297
00:11:21,849 --> 00:11:24,351
How do we prove she didn't
lose control of the plane

298
00:11:24,384 --> 00:11:26,153
if she can't even
remember what happened?

299
00:11:26,186 --> 00:11:28,021
Start with the
flight recorder.

300
00:11:28,055 --> 00:11:29,422
Yeah, about that.

301
00:11:29,456 --> 00:11:32,059
You're aware that it only covers
the last 30 minutes

302
00:11:32,092 --> 00:11:33,226
before the crash?

303
00:11:33,260 --> 00:11:34,361
CHUNK:
My phone holds

304
00:11:34,394 --> 00:11:36,229
1,000 hours of music,
but a black box

305
00:11:36,263 --> 00:11:38,465
taps out halfway through
a Wayne Newton album?

306
00:11:38,498 --> 00:11:40,467
I tap out halfway through
a Wayne Newton album.

307
00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:43,503
Black box is only
a piece of the puzzle.

308
00:11:43,536 --> 00:11:45,773
Okay, Danny,
I want a play-by-play

309
00:11:45,806 --> 00:11:47,240
in the 24 hours of Taylor's life

310
00:11:47,274 --> 00:11:48,108
before the crash.

311
00:11:48,141 --> 00:11:49,342
And, Cable,

312
00:11:49,376 --> 00:11:51,111
focus on the flight itself.

313
00:11:51,144 --> 00:11:52,212
Fill in the blanks.

314
00:11:52,245 --> 00:11:53,380
Danke schoen.

315
00:11:53,413 --> 00:11:54,815
That's a Wayne Newton
reference

316
00:11:54,848 --> 00:11:56,416
for your benefit, Chunk.

317
00:11:59,219 --> 00:12:01,321
(sighs)

318
00:12:05,425 --> 00:12:06,994
BULL:
Cute kids.

319
00:12:07,027 --> 00:12:10,063
I take it you and your
copilot were close.

320
00:12:10,097 --> 00:12:12,332
Yeah.

321
00:12:12,365 --> 00:12:14,501
Ken and I were
best friends.

322
00:12:14,534 --> 00:12:16,870
Mary and the kids
are like family to me.

323
00:12:16,904 --> 00:12:18,872
They miss their father.

324
00:12:18,906 --> 00:12:20,373
It's hard for them
to understand

325
00:12:20,407 --> 00:12:22,175
why I came home
and he didn't.

326
00:12:22,209 --> 00:12:24,411
And Mary's mad at me.

327
00:12:24,444 --> 00:12:26,013
Been sitting here
over an hour,

328
00:12:26,046 --> 00:12:29,049
and she's barely
said a word.

329
00:12:29,082 --> 00:12:31,251
I don't know,
sometimes I think she...

330
00:12:31,284 --> 00:12:33,186
blames me for
Ken's death.

331
00:12:34,454 --> 00:12:36,089
Or maybe I'm
just a reminder

332
00:12:36,123 --> 00:12:38,058
of what happened.

333
00:12:40,593 --> 00:12:42,863
You know, those families,
they act like I don't care

334
00:12:42,896 --> 00:12:44,932
about the victims, but...

335
00:12:44,965 --> 00:12:47,467
I think about those people
every day.

336
00:12:47,500 --> 00:12:49,269
The void they left.

337
00:12:49,302 --> 00:12:51,805
The futures they
don't get to have.

338
00:12:51,839 --> 00:12:55,042
I just keep asking myself:
did I panic?

339
00:12:55,075 --> 00:12:57,477
You know, did I, did I,
did I take a maneuver

340
00:12:57,510 --> 00:12:59,479
that was too risky?

341
00:12:59,512 --> 00:13:01,982
Taylor, something tells me
you didn't.

342
00:13:12,492 --> 00:13:15,495
Women drivers.

343
00:13:15,528 --> 00:13:17,898
We've all heard the expression.

344
00:13:17,931 --> 00:13:20,367
Maybe even said it
in the heat of the moment,

345
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,604
even though female drivers have
a higher safety record than men.

346
00:13:24,637 --> 00:13:26,106
Care to watch
the mock trial?

347
00:13:26,139 --> 00:13:27,107
No, thanks.

348
00:13:27,140 --> 00:13:29,009
I'm, uh, looking
for my client.

349
00:13:31,011 --> 00:13:32,612
You know, he really
should be talking

350
00:13:32,645 --> 00:13:34,347
about her record
as an Air Force pilot.

351
00:13:34,381 --> 00:13:36,449
He will, but first we need
to call out the bias.

352
00:13:36,483 --> 00:13:38,518
Once people are made aware,
they tend to compensate.

353
00:13:38,551 --> 00:13:40,854
You did one mock trial and
determined that the whole world

354
00:13:40,888 --> 00:13:42,555
has it in for
female pilots?

355
00:13:42,589 --> 00:13:44,858
We did five.

356
00:13:44,892 --> 00:13:46,459
And it's not
a conspiracy.

357
00:13:46,493 --> 00:13:49,162
Implicit bias literally means
you don't know it's there.

358
00:13:49,196 --> 00:13:51,098
So, you strike
all the male jurors?

359
00:13:51,131 --> 00:13:51,999
No, because women

360
00:13:52,032 --> 00:13:54,301
display as much gender bias
as men do.

361
00:13:54,334 --> 00:13:56,136
Hmm.

362
00:13:56,169 --> 00:13:58,939
Can you scare me up
a cup of coffee?

363
00:13:58,972 --> 00:14:01,041
No, it's fine.

364
00:14:01,074 --> 00:14:03,010
I was just about
to grab myself a cup.

365
00:14:03,043 --> 00:14:04,644
Okay, great.

366
00:14:04,677 --> 00:14:06,980
Look, I know
Dr. Bull has

367
00:14:07,014 --> 00:14:12,219
three PhDs in psychology,
but he's not an attorney.

368
00:14:12,252 --> 00:14:14,654
And there are so many unknowns
to overcome at trial.

369
00:14:14,687 --> 00:14:15,923
We're just getting started.

370
00:14:15,956 --> 00:14:18,892
By the end of this process, we
will know which types of jurors

371
00:14:18,926 --> 00:14:20,093
we want and which to exclude.

372
00:14:22,262 --> 00:14:25,999
All I know is,
if Taylor is smart,

373
00:14:26,033 --> 00:14:28,101
she will settle
with the plaintiffs

374
00:14:28,135 --> 00:14:31,104
and make this
whole thing go away.

375
00:14:31,138 --> 00:14:35,375
BENNY: Is a decorated
Air Force fighter pilot,

376
00:14:35,408 --> 00:14:37,911
who flew 139 sorties over Iraq.

377
00:14:37,945 --> 00:14:39,046
Where's the douche?

378
00:14:39,079 --> 00:14:41,314
Looking for Taylor.

379
00:14:42,449 --> 00:14:44,284
Did you spit in this?

380
00:14:44,317 --> 00:14:45,285
No.

381
00:14:45,318 --> 00:14:47,187
But don't drink it.

382
00:14:48,455 --> 00:14:49,656
CHUNK:
You're in the spotlight

383
00:14:49,689 --> 00:14:51,524
the minute you walk
into the courtroom.

384
00:14:51,558 --> 00:14:54,594
Dr. Bull says I need to look
strong, but not aggressive,

385
00:14:54,627 --> 00:14:56,196
confident,
but not arrogant.

386
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:58,465
Well, blue conveys
confidence.

387
00:14:58,498 --> 00:15:01,034
And navy adds a
sense of remorse.

388
00:15:01,068 --> 00:15:02,702
I like your style.
Thanks.

389
00:15:02,735 --> 00:15:04,437
How did you end up here?

390
00:15:04,471 --> 00:15:06,239
I arrived via Vogue magazine.

391
00:15:06,273 --> 00:15:08,175
Really?
Mm-hmm.

392
00:15:08,208 --> 00:15:10,077
Weren't you a defensive back
for Georgia?

393
00:15:10,110 --> 00:15:12,045
Well, I was that, too,
before I was this.

394
00:15:12,079 --> 00:15:13,246
I knew it.

395
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:14,347
You almost won the Heisman.

396
00:15:14,381 --> 00:15:15,648
Weren't you gonna go pro?

397
00:15:15,682 --> 00:15:16,950
Draft didn't work out

398
00:15:16,984 --> 00:15:18,018
too well for me.

399
00:15:19,086 --> 00:15:21,321
Why isn't she in her uniform?
Oh, we can do that,

400
00:15:21,354 --> 00:15:23,323
if you want to make this
look like a military tribunal.

401
00:15:23,356 --> 00:15:26,326
In court, we want her
to look like a human being,

402
00:15:26,359 --> 00:15:27,727
not a pilot.

403
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,497
Mr. Weber, I heard
you were in the office.

404
00:15:30,530 --> 00:15:33,200
Taylor, I know Dr. Bull
has convinced you

405
00:15:33,233 --> 00:15:36,069
that he has some
sort of magic formula

406
00:15:36,103 --> 00:15:40,207
that will make a jury see past
the facts and exonerate you.

407
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:41,241
Chunk,

408
00:15:41,274 --> 00:15:42,575
would you give
us a second?

409
00:15:42,609 --> 00:15:43,710
And, uh,

410
00:15:43,743 --> 00:15:46,546
tell Benny I need to see him.
Mm-hmm.

411
00:15:46,579 --> 00:15:49,549
WEBER: While Dr. Bull has
been searching for biases,

412
00:15:49,582 --> 00:15:51,651
I've been in touch
with the airline,

413
00:15:51,684 --> 00:15:53,353
who are negotiating a settlement

414
00:15:53,386 --> 00:15:54,554
with the plaintiffs.

415
00:15:54,587 --> 00:15:56,356
A settlement?
Yes.

416
00:15:56,389 --> 00:15:57,690
It's a very
generous offer

417
00:15:57,724 --> 00:16:00,160
to the victims' family,
as it should be,

418
00:16:00,193 --> 00:16:03,430
and it protects you
from any financial liability.

419
00:16:03,463 --> 00:16:04,597
What do you need from me?

420
00:16:04,631 --> 00:16:05,665
I need you to agree

421
00:16:05,698 --> 00:16:08,068
to the findings
of the NTSB report.

422
00:16:08,101 --> 00:16:09,069
BULL:
The report that

423
00:16:09,102 --> 00:16:10,270
finds her at fault.

424
00:16:10,303 --> 00:16:12,439
A-And if I do that,
I'll be reinstated?

425
00:16:12,472 --> 00:16:14,107
Well...

426
00:16:14,141 --> 00:16:16,443
BULL:
No. Fired.

427
00:16:16,476 --> 00:16:19,446
And unemployable
and never able to fly again.

428
00:16:19,479 --> 00:16:21,448
She killed 62 people.

429
00:16:21,481 --> 00:16:23,383
No, Oscar.

430
00:16:23,416 --> 00:16:27,087
An airplane crash killed
62 people, not your client.

431
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,788
Marissa mentioned you were
pushing for a settlement.

432
00:16:28,821 --> 00:16:30,090
That struck her,

433
00:16:30,123 --> 00:16:31,091
because even though
she's a woman,

434
00:16:31,124 --> 00:16:32,292
she's quite good with numbers.

435
00:16:32,325 --> 00:16:36,329
So, she had Cable, also a woman,
also good with computers,

436
00:16:36,363 --> 00:16:37,364
do some digging.

437
00:16:37,397 --> 00:16:38,631
It seems that
your contract

438
00:16:38,665 --> 00:16:42,469
with Taylor stipulates the less
the airline pays the families,

439
00:16:42,502 --> 00:16:44,304
the more your firm makes.

440
00:16:44,337 --> 00:16:46,706
That seems like a
conflict of interest,

441
00:16:46,739 --> 00:16:49,142
but then again, you have all
that office space to pay for.

442
00:16:49,176 --> 00:16:51,511
That's why
I hate lawyers.

443
00:16:51,544 --> 00:16:54,247
That's my... bias.

444
00:16:54,281 --> 00:16:56,183
So you have a financial
incentive for me to settle?

445
00:16:56,216 --> 00:16:58,618
It's called a reverse
contingency fee.

446
00:16:58,651 --> 00:17:00,487
It's how the airline
controls damages.

447
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,056
That, and by blaming you.

448
00:17:04,424 --> 00:17:06,226
Taylor.

449
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,064
This is in your best interest.

450
00:17:11,098 --> 00:17:13,600
Do not let him twist this.

451
00:17:13,633 --> 00:17:16,203
Can I fire my attorney?

452
00:17:16,236 --> 00:17:17,670
Of course you can.

453
00:17:17,704 --> 00:17:18,805
Especially since
he was supplied to you

454
00:17:18,838 --> 00:17:20,440
by the airline.

455
00:17:22,175 --> 00:17:23,610
You're relieved, Mr. Weber.

456
00:17:23,643 --> 00:17:25,178
See how easy that was?

457
00:17:25,212 --> 00:17:28,215
Dr. Bull,
you're a piece of work.

458
00:17:30,283 --> 00:17:33,353
I like those glasses.

459
00:17:33,386 --> 00:17:35,488
Dr. Bull, I can't afford
my own attorney.

460
00:17:35,522 --> 00:17:37,257
It's all right.

461
00:17:37,290 --> 00:17:39,492
We have someone.
The best, really.

462
00:17:41,261 --> 00:17:43,230
Hey.

463
00:17:43,263 --> 00:17:45,232
What's up with Weber?
Looked pissed.

464
00:17:45,265 --> 00:17:49,136
Captain Mathison,
meet your new lawyer.

465
00:17:57,544 --> 00:17:58,778
TAYLOR: Is this normal? For you
to sub in for a real trial?

466
00:17:58,811 --> 00:17:59,646
It's been about a year

467
00:17:59,679 --> 00:18:01,414
since I've been inside
a real courtroom.

468
00:18:01,448 --> 00:18:02,682
What kind of law
did you practice?

469
00:18:02,715 --> 00:18:05,552
I was a prosecutor
in the D.A.'s office.

470
00:18:05,585 --> 00:18:07,487
Yale Law, Supreme
Court clerkship.

471
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:08,721
He was a pit bull.

472
00:18:08,755 --> 00:18:09,889
If I were on trial,

473
00:18:09,922 --> 00:18:12,492
Benny's the only
lawyer I'd want.

474
00:18:12,525 --> 00:18:13,693
Why did you leave?

475
00:18:13,726 --> 00:18:15,128
I got fired.

476
00:18:17,897 --> 00:18:20,400
Wait till you hear why.

477
00:18:23,270 --> 00:18:24,337
(gavel bangs)

478
00:18:24,371 --> 00:18:26,339
All right, prospective jurors
have been sworn in.

479
00:18:26,373 --> 00:18:27,340
Mr. Dworkin,

480
00:18:27,374 --> 00:18:28,808
you may begin your voir dire.

481
00:18:28,841 --> 00:18:30,210
Thank you, Your Honor.

482
00:18:31,411 --> 00:18:34,147
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

483
00:18:34,181 --> 00:18:36,549
I'm going to ask all of you
some questions to see if you can

484
00:18:36,583 --> 00:18:40,187
honestly and fairly
assess this case.

485
00:18:40,220 --> 00:18:41,588
This trial is a suit over...

486
00:18:41,621 --> 00:18:42,889
TAYLOR (quietly):
How do you know

487
00:18:42,922 --> 00:18:45,492
who has this bias
against female pilots?

488
00:18:45,525 --> 00:18:46,759
We ask them.

489
00:18:49,262 --> 00:18:50,763
MARISSA (over earpiece):
Okay, we have six strikes left.

490
00:18:50,797 --> 00:18:52,632
Who's up first?

491
00:18:52,665 --> 00:18:55,168
The lovely Martha Plemmons.

492
00:18:55,202 --> 00:18:56,936
Martha Plemmons, 58.

493
00:18:56,969 --> 00:18:59,906
High school librarian.

494
00:18:59,939 --> 00:19:01,908
Crossword enthusiast.

495
00:19:01,941 --> 00:19:03,943
(quietly):
The key is not to let

496
00:19:03,976 --> 00:19:05,678
anyone know what
we're screening for,

497
00:19:05,712 --> 00:19:07,847
so our questions have to be
a little off.

498
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,283
BENNY:
Ms. Plemmons...

499
00:19:10,317 --> 00:19:12,719
what would someone say
they didn't like about you?

500
00:19:12,752 --> 00:19:14,954
Your Honor,
this isn't a job interview.

501
00:19:14,987 --> 00:19:16,423
What's the defense
going for here?

502
00:19:16,456 --> 00:19:18,925
It's his nickel, Mr. Dworkin.

503
00:19:18,958 --> 00:19:20,293
(whispers):
Please.

504
00:19:20,327 --> 00:19:22,829
I-I guess I can be
a little pushy sometimes.

505
00:19:22,862 --> 00:19:23,763
(laughs)

506
00:19:23,796 --> 00:19:26,833
I accessed the district's
HR department.

507
00:19:26,866 --> 00:19:28,335
Martha's filed two complaints

508
00:19:28,368 --> 00:19:30,437
for equal pay
against a male counterpart.

509
00:19:30,470 --> 00:19:31,671
I think she nailed
"a little pushy."

510
00:19:31,704 --> 00:19:32,672
MARISSA:
Yeah, and self-aware.

511
00:19:32,705 --> 00:19:33,873
That means she'd be open

512
00:19:33,906 --> 00:19:35,408
to assess her own hidden bias
on gender.

513
00:19:35,442 --> 00:19:36,476
BULL:
Two complaints

514
00:19:36,509 --> 00:19:38,578
for equal pay sounds
pretty aware of gender bias.

515
00:19:38,611 --> 00:19:40,447
She only has 47 friends.

516
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,882
I don't think she's gonna win
Miss Congeniality on this jury.

517
00:19:42,915 --> 00:19:44,384
BULL:
We don't need her to.

518
00:19:44,417 --> 00:19:45,952
She'll have an opinion
and stick with it.

519
00:19:45,985 --> 00:19:48,221
The question is: will her
opinion help or hurt us?

520
00:19:48,255 --> 00:19:49,989
CABLE: I'd say help.
Her last book purchase

521
00:19:50,022 --> 00:19:51,858
was Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In.

522
00:19:51,891 --> 00:19:53,726
She gave it five stars.
That is key.

523
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,229
If we can establish
a gender bias against Taylor,

524
00:19:56,263 --> 00:19:57,830
Martha is gonna resent
the airline big-time.

525
00:19:57,864 --> 00:19:58,931
BULL:
Yeah, I've been watching her.

526
00:19:58,965 --> 00:20:01,868
Every time she looks at Taylor,
she has admiration.

527
00:20:01,901 --> 00:20:03,636
She'll be on our side.

528
00:20:06,806 --> 00:20:09,276
Good for the defense,
Your Honor.

529
00:20:09,309 --> 00:20:12,545
Okay, let's do
an online search together.

530
00:20:12,579 --> 00:20:14,781
"Three black teenagers."

531
00:20:18,050 --> 00:20:20,219
But if I change
"black" to "white..."

532
00:20:23,523 --> 00:20:25,392
Your Honor, what is this?
Race-baiting?

533
00:20:28,928 --> 00:20:31,030
Anybody surprised by this?

534
00:20:31,063 --> 00:20:33,400
That's just some PC nonsense.

535
00:20:33,433 --> 00:20:34,834
CABLE: This guy would win
troll of the year

536
00:20:34,867 --> 00:20:36,035
for the things he posts online.

537
00:20:36,068 --> 00:20:38,838
MARISSA: Mr. Varni is not
what I would call enlightened.

538
00:20:38,871 --> 00:20:41,374
He's not gonna recognize
gender bias if it was

539
00:20:41,408 --> 00:20:43,510
full frontal in front of him.

540
00:20:43,543 --> 00:20:45,845
I say bounce.

541
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:49,282
Strike, Your Honor.

542
00:20:51,351 --> 00:20:53,620
All right, let's talk
about Dave Lemanski.

543
00:20:53,653 --> 00:20:55,355
MARISSA:
Professional storm chaser.

544
00:20:55,388 --> 00:20:56,656
Should be respectful

545
00:20:56,689 --> 00:20:58,658
of the power of Mother Nature,
but...

546
00:20:58,691 --> 00:20:59,859
also a self-described expert.

547
00:20:59,892 --> 00:21:02,729
Well, at least he'll understand
the effects of wind shear.

548
00:21:02,762 --> 00:21:04,831
Yeah, uh, he may not be afraid
of a Tennessee twister,

549
00:21:04,864 --> 00:21:07,834
but he seems to run
from the opposite sex.

550
00:21:07,867 --> 00:21:10,570
Surprise, storm chasing's
a total sausage fest.

551
00:21:10,603 --> 00:21:12,439
BULL: I'm looking at
his body language.

552
00:21:12,472 --> 00:21:13,773
He's not a happy camper.

553
00:21:13,806 --> 00:21:15,542
He's antsy just sitting
through voir dire.

554
00:21:15,575 --> 00:21:18,411
Okay, the data
on Lemanski is mixed.

555
00:21:18,445 --> 00:21:19,612
On the plus side,

556
00:21:19,646 --> 00:21:22,649
he will pay attention to weather
conditions during the crash,

557
00:21:22,682 --> 00:21:23,950
but it's unclear

558
00:21:23,983 --> 00:21:26,519
that he'll recognize
his gender bias.

559
00:21:26,553 --> 00:21:27,920
Who do we have if we bounce him?

560
00:21:27,954 --> 00:21:28,921
CABLE:
We get...

561
00:21:28,955 --> 00:21:30,523
"Rod the Bod,"

562
00:21:30,557 --> 00:21:32,992
trainer-slash-model-
slash-vitamin salesman.

563
00:21:33,025 --> 00:21:35,795
MARISSA:
Uh, Rod's social media is loaded

564
00:21:35,828 --> 00:21:39,399
with narcissistic
self-congratulatory dude speak.

565
00:21:39,432 --> 00:21:41,634
I saw him checking out
a young lady in the gallery.

566
00:21:41,668 --> 00:21:43,035
The guy's here to find a date.

567
00:21:43,069 --> 00:21:44,637
Total lack of awareness.

568
00:21:44,671 --> 00:21:46,506
He's gonna be
a huge problem for us.

569
00:21:46,539 --> 00:21:48,074
Okay.

570
00:21:48,107 --> 00:21:50,843
Into the storm we go.

571
00:21:50,877 --> 00:21:53,112
We've got ourselves a jury.

572
00:21:53,145 --> 00:21:54,013
MARISSA:
Seven women, five men.

573
00:21:54,046 --> 00:21:56,716
BENNY: Good for the
defense, Your Honor.

574
00:21:58,718 --> 00:21:59,886
I'm a high school librarian.

575
00:21:59,919 --> 00:22:01,421
I'm a high school
librarian.

576
00:22:01,454 --> 00:22:02,822
I'm a single mom
and teach fifth grade.

577
00:22:02,855 --> 00:22:04,657
I'm a single mom and
I teach fifth grade.

578
00:22:04,691 --> 00:22:06,459
My favorite hobbies are
Sudoku and model trains.

579
00:22:06,493 --> 00:22:09,128
My favorite hobbies are
Sudoku and model trains.

580
00:22:09,161 --> 00:22:12,632
For every juror, we hire
what we call a "mirror juror."

581
00:22:12,665 --> 00:22:14,601
How can they be
exactly the same?

582
00:22:14,634 --> 00:22:16,936
Well, Marissa's
created an algorithm

583
00:22:16,969 --> 00:22:19,739
that can track a person
across 404 different variants.

584
00:22:19,772 --> 00:22:22,909
We put them in the courtroom
for the entire trial.

585
00:22:22,942 --> 00:22:25,645
MARISSA: They wear biometric
watches that allow us to track

586
00:22:25,678 --> 00:22:27,814
their emotional responses
to events in the courtroom.

587
00:22:27,847 --> 00:22:30,750
And with an astonishing
degree of accuracy,

588
00:22:30,783 --> 00:22:33,152
they respond just like
the actual jury.

589
00:22:33,185 --> 00:22:35,988
Here we have a dermatologist,
a Spanish teacher,

590
00:22:36,022 --> 00:22:37,156
and a Web designer.

591
00:22:37,189 --> 00:22:39,492
We've identified them
as open-minded.

592
00:22:39,526 --> 00:22:41,628
Lemanski is impulsive,

593
00:22:41,661 --> 00:22:44,464
a self-described expert--
could go either way.

594
00:22:44,497 --> 00:22:47,099
But these four are followers.
They'll go with the wind.

595
00:22:47,133 --> 00:22:48,968
And what about those two?

596
00:22:49,001 --> 00:22:51,471
That's Frederick West,
infantry soldier.

597
00:22:51,504 --> 00:22:54,173
All about personal
responsibility.

598
00:22:54,206 --> 00:22:56,576
But if he senses you're making
excuses, we'll lose him.

599
00:22:56,609 --> 00:22:58,645
Orville Maynard,
on the other hand...

600
00:22:58,678 --> 00:23:00,480
retired English professor.

601
00:23:00,513 --> 00:23:01,748
Didactic.

602
00:23:01,781 --> 00:23:04,116
Despite a history of
celebrated liberal causes,

603
00:23:04,150 --> 00:23:06,486
his personal syllabus reads like
a tribute to dead white men.

604
00:23:06,519 --> 00:23:09,188
And he's spent his career
lecturing, not listening.

605
00:23:09,221 --> 00:23:11,491
(sighs) So what do we do?

606
00:23:11,524 --> 00:23:14,961
We learn their habits,
lexicon, everything about them.

607
00:23:14,994 --> 00:23:16,629
And then we connect with them,

608
00:23:16,663 --> 00:23:19,065
with the help of
our mirror jurors.

609
00:23:19,098 --> 00:23:20,933
One juror at a time.

610
00:23:24,971 --> 00:23:28,941
DWORKIN: It is tragic that
the lone survivor of this crash

611
00:23:28,975 --> 00:23:31,678
is the only one here
to speak of it.

612
00:23:31,711 --> 00:23:33,212
It's even more tragic

613
00:23:33,245 --> 00:23:35,515
that she has no memory
of what she did.

614
00:23:35,548 --> 00:23:37,850
Of losing control of a plane,

615
00:23:37,884 --> 00:23:40,820
before smashing it to the ground
killing all 62 passengers.

616
00:23:40,853 --> 00:23:42,088
MARISSA:
We're getting good feedback

617
00:23:42,121 --> 00:23:44,691
from the biometric watches.

618
00:23:44,724 --> 00:23:46,693
So far, our mirror juror
for number 11 is responding

619
00:23:46,726 --> 00:23:48,628
most favorably
to opposing counsel,

620
00:23:48,661 --> 00:23:51,097
particularly when they mention
the number of victims.

621
00:23:51,130 --> 00:23:52,832
BENNY:
Captain Taylor Mathison

622
00:23:52,865 --> 00:23:57,103
is a decorated
Air Force fighter pilot

623
00:23:57,136 --> 00:24:01,040
who flew 139
sorties over Iraq.

624
00:24:01,073 --> 00:24:03,710
BULL: Juliette Lee scratched her
neck after she looked at Taylor.

625
00:24:03,743 --> 00:24:05,111
Something's making her
uncomfortable.

626
00:24:05,144 --> 00:24:06,613
How's her mirror looking?

627
00:24:06,646 --> 00:24:09,716
She is clearly liking
Taylor's military service.

628
00:24:09,749 --> 00:24:12,018
Looks like our best
in with Juliette

629
00:24:12,051 --> 00:24:15,788
is to keep focusing on Taylor's
experience as a fighter pilot.

630
00:24:15,822 --> 00:24:19,526
So when Flight 1372
was hit by wind shear

631
00:24:19,559 --> 00:24:21,961
that slammed the plane

632
00:24:21,994 --> 00:24:25,131
toward the ground
at 200 feet per second,

633
00:24:25,164 --> 00:24:27,233
not even a pilot of her caliber

634
00:24:27,266 --> 00:24:29,569
could save them.

635
00:24:29,602 --> 00:24:33,239
When a pilot encounters wind
shear, one advances the power,

636
00:24:33,272 --> 00:24:35,775
retracts the speedbrakes
and retracts the gear

637
00:24:35,808 --> 00:24:39,078
to reduce drag, build speed
and maintain altitude.

638
00:24:39,111 --> 00:24:41,548
And, uh, speaking
as an NTSB investigator

639
00:24:41,581 --> 00:24:44,951
with 20 years experience,
did the defendant

640
00:24:44,984 --> 00:24:46,653
follow protocol?

641
00:24:46,686 --> 00:24:49,088
REYNOLDS:
No. In fact,

642
00:24:49,121 --> 00:24:50,857
even her copilot
seemed baffled...

643
00:24:50,890 --> 00:24:52,559
Objection. Conjecture.

644
00:24:52,592 --> 00:24:55,261
Mr. Reynolds can testify
in his opinion as an expert.

645
00:24:55,294 --> 00:24:57,730
REYNOLDS: We feel that had
she followed protocol...

646
00:24:57,764 --> 00:24:59,766
Control?

647
00:24:59,799 --> 00:25:01,868
There is no control
in wind that strong.

648
00:25:01,901 --> 00:25:03,102
DWORKIN:
...18.

649
00:25:03,135 --> 00:25:06,606
Please, sir, if you would,
walk us through.

650
00:25:06,639 --> 00:25:09,041
The plane was erratic,

651
00:25:09,075 --> 00:25:12,211
off course, not
holding it's heading,

652
00:25:12,244 --> 00:25:14,113
weaving back and forth.

653
00:25:14,146 --> 00:25:16,315
It's clear she panicked,

654
00:25:16,348 --> 00:25:19,652
lost control.

655
00:25:19,686 --> 00:25:21,320
DWORKIN:
Thank you.

656
00:25:21,353 --> 00:25:23,089
Nothing further, Your Honor.

657
00:25:25,091 --> 00:25:26,759
I don't think
this guy's a real pilot.

658
00:25:26,793 --> 00:25:27,960
He's a paper pusher.

659
00:25:27,994 --> 00:25:31,063
I could be getting be high
with one of my grad students.

660
00:25:31,097 --> 00:25:33,099
BENNY:
Mr. Reynolds,

661
00:25:33,132 --> 00:25:34,300
prior to the crash,

662
00:25:34,333 --> 00:25:35,935
what was Captain Mathison's
flight record?

663
00:25:35,968 --> 00:25:37,136
She had a flawless record.

664
00:25:37,169 --> 00:25:38,871
BENNY:
And yet, your report found

665
00:25:38,905 --> 00:25:40,773
pilot error to be
the cause of the crash.

666
00:25:40,807 --> 00:25:41,841
Correct.

667
00:25:41,874 --> 00:25:42,942
Hmm.

668
00:25:42,975 --> 00:25:44,811
What about...

669
00:25:44,844 --> 00:25:46,813
other crashes involving
female pilots?

670
00:25:46,846 --> 00:25:48,815
This is the first
to my knowledge.

671
00:25:48,848 --> 00:25:51,951
Wow. Really?

672
00:25:51,984 --> 00:25:53,352
Women must be
really good pilots.

673
00:25:53,385 --> 00:25:54,353
Actually, there aren't
very many.

674
00:25:54,386 --> 00:25:56,956
Well, what percentage
of pilots are female?

675
00:25:56,989 --> 00:25:58,958
About four percent.

676
00:25:58,991 --> 00:26:00,126
Four out of 100.

677
00:26:00,159 --> 00:26:01,360
Now, that is surprising.

678
00:26:01,393 --> 00:26:03,830
It's a challenging
lifestyle.

679
00:26:03,863 --> 00:26:06,065
Don't flight attendants
work similar shifts?

680
00:26:06,098 --> 00:26:07,700
DWORKIN:
Objection.

681
00:26:07,734 --> 00:26:09,001
Relevance.
Withdrawn.

682
00:26:09,035 --> 00:26:11,103
Nothing further, Your Honor.

683
00:26:11,137 --> 00:26:14,674
Taylor may be a great pilot,
but she's also woman.

684
00:26:14,707 --> 00:26:16,743
And beautiful. She's trouble.

685
00:26:24,283 --> 00:26:25,952
Tell me more about
juror number four,

686
00:26:25,985 --> 00:26:27,053
Ms. Juliette Lee.

687
00:26:27,086 --> 00:26:29,255
Uh, three kids.

688
00:26:29,288 --> 00:26:31,991
Works from home
designing Web pages.

689
00:26:32,024 --> 00:26:33,993
Creative, tech savvy.

690
00:26:34,026 --> 00:26:36,763
And all the data shows that
she should be on Taylor's side.

691
00:26:36,796 --> 00:26:38,364
Divorced?

692
00:26:38,397 --> 00:26:39,231
Three years ago.

693
00:26:39,265 --> 00:26:41,801
Her husband left her
for his secretary.

694
00:26:43,770 --> 00:26:46,005
Find out what color hair
the secretary had.

695
00:26:48,074 --> 00:26:51,177
Let's bring the copilot's wife
into mock court.

696
00:26:52,912 --> 00:26:56,282
I need to get her on the
stand and play lawyer.

697
00:26:59,285 --> 00:27:00,753
BULL: Your husband
Ken was the copilot.

698
00:27:00,787 --> 00:27:02,388
Were you with him before
the flight took off?

699
00:27:02,421 --> 00:27:04,991
We had been together
just a few hours before he left.

700
00:27:05,024 --> 00:27:06,092
Where?

701
00:27:06,125 --> 00:27:08,861
We had
an appointment together.

702
00:27:08,895 --> 00:27:10,296
An appointment?

703
00:27:12,298 --> 00:27:13,700
Marriage therapy?

704
00:27:13,733 --> 00:27:16,368
I loved my husband,
but he wasn't perfect.

705
00:27:16,402 --> 00:27:20,206
He'd, uh...
slipped before.

706
00:27:20,239 --> 00:27:21,273
"Slipped"?

707
00:27:21,307 --> 00:27:22,842
As in, had an affair?

708
00:27:24,243 --> 00:27:25,912
Pilots are away a lot.

709
00:27:25,945 --> 00:27:28,214
It's hard.

710
00:27:30,316 --> 00:27:32,051
We were trying to move past it.

711
00:27:32,084 --> 00:27:34,954
Hmm.

712
00:27:34,987 --> 00:27:37,790
You ever think about
who the other woman was?

713
00:27:37,824 --> 00:27:39,191
Of course I think about it.

714
00:27:40,893 --> 00:27:42,328
Ken was sleeping with Taylor.

715
00:27:42,361 --> 00:27:43,462
TAYLOR:
What? Mary!

716
00:27:43,495 --> 00:27:44,731
MARY:
You were my friend.

717
00:27:44,764 --> 00:27:47,066
How could you?
Ken? I would never!

718
00:27:47,099 --> 00:27:48,735
My God, stop lying!
What's wrong with you?!

719
00:27:48,768 --> 00:27:49,802
He's dead!
She's lost her mind.

720
00:27:49,836 --> 00:27:51,170
Why didn't you die, too?!

721
00:27:51,203 --> 00:27:52,905
Whoa. Okay, okay.
You should've died

722
00:27:52,939 --> 00:27:54,473
instead of him!
Shh, shh, it's okay.

723
00:27:54,506 --> 00:27:56,308
Okay, let's take a
little break, all right?

724
00:27:56,342 --> 00:27:59,045
It's okay.
Marissa's gonna take you.

725
00:27:59,078 --> 00:28:01,080
(door opens)
BULL: Taylor, stop.

726
00:28:01,113 --> 00:28:02,715
You think I was
sleeping with Ken?

727
00:28:02,749 --> 00:28:04,083
That's what that
stunt was about?

728
00:28:04,116 --> 00:28:05,484
Not me.

729
00:28:05,517 --> 00:28:08,955
Juror number four,
Juliette Lee.

730
00:28:08,988 --> 00:28:13,092
Her husband left her for a woman
who looks a lot like you.

731
00:28:13,125 --> 00:28:15,261
(sighs)
I can't believe this.

732
00:28:15,294 --> 00:28:17,263
Of course I wasn't
sleeping with him.

733
00:28:17,296 --> 00:28:19,231
Well, he was sleeping
with someone.

734
00:28:19,265 --> 00:28:21,400
Look, if you're not gonna leave,
can you at least turn around?

735
00:28:23,402 --> 00:28:25,972
You said Ken was upset.

736
00:28:26,005 --> 00:28:27,840
He missed his inspection,
you covered for him,

737
00:28:27,874 --> 00:28:30,509
and you're still protecting him,
and I want to know why.

738
00:28:30,542 --> 00:28:31,844
Dr. Bull, I...

739
00:28:31,878 --> 00:28:33,279
I can come back.

740
00:28:33,312 --> 00:28:34,747
No, I was just leaving.

741
00:28:37,283 --> 00:28:38,985
Listen to me.

742
00:28:39,018 --> 00:28:41,287
Marissa is talking
to Mary right now.

743
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,257
I had her testify in mock court
so that she would blow here

744
00:28:45,291 --> 00:28:46,759
and not in the real trial,

745
00:28:46,793 --> 00:28:49,495
because if Mary accused you
of sleeping with Ken

746
00:28:49,528 --> 00:28:52,799
in the actual court,
true or not,

747
00:28:52,832 --> 00:28:54,533
the plaintiffs would argue
that you were distracted

748
00:28:54,566 --> 00:28:55,534
by a lovers' quarrel

749
00:28:55,567 --> 00:28:58,170
in the cockpit and that is
why the plane crashed.

750
00:28:58,204 --> 00:29:02,541
Now, I will get this jury
on your side...

751
00:29:02,574 --> 00:29:06,512
but not unless
you're honest with me.

752
00:29:06,545 --> 00:29:08,147
You want honesty?

753
00:29:08,180 --> 00:29:09,782
We're done.

754
00:29:09,816 --> 00:29:11,483
(sighs):
Oh.

755
00:29:13,485 --> 00:29:14,787
(quietly):
Women.

756
00:29:21,493 --> 00:29:23,262
*

757
00:29:23,295 --> 00:29:24,563
* Who's that woman?

758
00:29:24,596 --> 00:29:25,898
* That wonderful woman...

759
00:29:25,932 --> 00:29:28,000
Hey.

760
00:29:28,034 --> 00:29:29,568
That your virtual black box?

761
00:29:29,601 --> 00:29:31,437
Virtually.

762
00:29:31,470 --> 00:29:34,340
Every bit of information from
the roughly two dozen passengers

763
00:29:34,373 --> 00:29:35,507
using the in-flight Wi-Fi.

764
00:29:35,541 --> 00:29:39,511
Selfies from 22D,
drink orders from 12A,

765
00:29:39,545 --> 00:29:41,447
oh, an epic Twitter fight

766
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,449
between the sisters
in 18B and C.

767
00:29:43,482 --> 00:29:45,417
How did you get all of--

768
00:29:45,451 --> 00:29:46,853
You know what?

769
00:29:46,886 --> 00:29:47,920
Forget that I asked.

770
00:29:47,954 --> 00:29:49,288
Um, anything that's
gonna help us?

771
00:29:49,321 --> 00:29:51,891
Yeah, I'm getting
to that.

772
00:29:51,924 --> 00:29:54,193
This tweet from 8C.

773
00:29:54,226 --> 00:29:56,462
"Woman in 8D just stomped
her foot so hard

774
00:29:56,495 --> 00:29:58,831
she broke her heel.
#FlightRage."

775
00:29:58,865 --> 00:30:01,033
Okay, what else?

776
00:30:01,067 --> 00:30:04,203
"Woman in 8D apologized.
Said she just got dumped."

777
00:30:04,236 --> 00:30:06,605
Juicy. And sad.

778
00:30:06,638 --> 00:30:08,074
Dumped by who?

779
00:30:08,107 --> 00:30:09,141
(typing)

780
00:30:09,175 --> 00:30:11,911
"Woman in 8D pretty much
threw herself at the pilot

781
00:30:11,944 --> 00:30:13,179
when he went to the bathroom."

782
00:30:13,212 --> 00:30:14,546
Who is this woman?

783
00:30:17,349 --> 00:30:19,018
(typing)

784
00:30:19,051 --> 00:30:20,519
Tanya Bryant.

785
00:30:20,552 --> 00:30:21,587
Twenty-nine.

786
00:30:21,620 --> 00:30:23,923
An accountant for
a department store in Manhattan.

787
00:30:23,956 --> 00:30:27,994
I think we just found
our copilot's mistress.

788
00:30:28,027 --> 00:30:28,995
Nice.

789
00:30:29,028 --> 00:30:30,462
Well done, well done.

790
00:30:30,496 --> 00:30:34,300
So, Tanya flew three round-trip
flights on Essence Airlines

791
00:30:34,333 --> 00:30:36,235
in the last month
leading up to the crash.

792
00:30:36,268 --> 00:30:37,904
CABLE: And all the flights have
one thing in common.

793
00:30:37,937 --> 00:30:39,205
Bad food? Crying babies?

794
00:30:39,238 --> 00:30:42,074
Ken Fowler as copilot.

795
00:30:42,108 --> 00:30:45,077
So Ken and Tanya were
having an airborne romance,

796
00:30:45,111 --> 00:30:46,545
not Ken and Taylor.

797
00:30:46,578 --> 00:30:49,181
So why didn't Taylor
say any of this?

798
00:30:49,215 --> 00:30:51,117
Hmm.

799
00:30:57,456 --> 00:31:00,126
Hey.

800
00:31:00,159 --> 00:31:02,661
So Ken was having
an affair with Tanya.

801
00:31:02,694 --> 00:31:05,297
Not you.

802
00:31:05,331 --> 00:31:07,299
You think maybe
Ken was distracted,

803
00:31:07,333 --> 00:31:10,169
too distracted to help you
with the wind shear?

804
00:31:11,437 --> 00:31:13,439
We ran Ken's affair
past a mock jury.

805
00:31:14,606 --> 00:31:17,143
Instead of seeing Ken
as questioning your decisions,

806
00:31:17,176 --> 00:31:21,347
they found him preoccupied,
not focused on flying.

807
00:31:21,380 --> 00:31:23,515
And they found you not guilty.

808
00:31:29,388 --> 00:31:30,422
No.

809
00:31:30,456 --> 00:31:33,292
You know, so what if Ken
might've been distracted?

810
00:31:33,325 --> 00:31:35,427
I was the pilot; I made
all the decisions.

811
00:31:35,461 --> 00:31:37,429
I flew the plane, not Ken.

812
00:31:37,463 --> 00:31:38,998
It-it wouldn't have
made a difference.

813
00:31:39,031 --> 00:31:40,132
Taylor, I get it.

814
00:31:40,166 --> 00:31:42,601
You don't want to throw
your dead friend under the bus.

815
00:31:42,634 --> 00:31:45,671
But you know in your heart
that Ken's affair

816
00:31:45,704 --> 00:31:47,940
had nothing to do
with this crash.

817
00:31:47,974 --> 00:31:49,508
Right?

818
00:31:51,610 --> 00:31:53,445
Look, I'm taking the settlement.

819
00:31:53,479 --> 00:31:55,514
You can't do that.

820
00:31:55,547 --> 00:31:58,317
Trust me, you'll regret it
for the rest of your life.

821
00:31:58,350 --> 00:32:00,352
Maybe they're right.
Maybe I panicked.

822
00:32:00,386 --> 00:32:01,453
Did you?

823
00:32:01,487 --> 00:32:03,189
I don't remember.

824
00:32:03,222 --> 00:32:05,091
So you just want
to give up?

825
00:32:05,124 --> 00:32:06,592
Settle?

826
00:32:06,625 --> 00:32:08,060
I guess it's what
a woman would do.

827
00:32:08,094 --> 00:32:09,728
Take the blame.
Excuse me?

828
00:32:09,761 --> 00:32:12,498
Well, martyrdom is a classic
female response to tragedy.

829
00:32:12,531 --> 00:32:15,201
Do you have any idea
what I have been through

830
00:32:15,234 --> 00:32:17,369
my entire life as a pilot?

831
00:32:17,403 --> 00:32:20,973
Are you telling me
you want to give that up?

832
00:32:24,543 --> 00:32:26,112
Come with me.

833
00:32:34,186 --> 00:32:36,288
Okay, you got me here.
Now what?

834
00:32:36,322 --> 00:32:38,024
Well, the simulator
is gonna recreate

835
00:32:38,057 --> 00:32:39,091
the exact conditions...

836
00:32:39,125 --> 00:32:41,360
Yeah, I know
what a simulator does.

837
00:32:47,033 --> 00:32:50,369
I haven't flown
since the accident.

838
00:32:50,402 --> 00:32:53,639
I'll be right here
with you.

839
00:32:53,672 --> 00:32:56,175
I know this isn't easy.

840
00:32:56,208 --> 00:32:59,411
I promise it'll get easier
if you fly again.

841
00:33:10,289 --> 00:33:11,457
MAN:
All right, Dr. Bull,

842
00:33:11,490 --> 00:33:13,159
we're ready to begin
the simulation.

843
00:33:13,192 --> 00:33:14,193
(simulator powering up)

844
00:33:14,226 --> 00:33:16,662
BULL:
Okay, we're gonna pick up

845
00:33:16,695 --> 00:33:19,031
right after Ken got back
to the cockpit.

846
00:33:21,833 --> 00:33:22,734
(electronic bell chimes)

847
00:33:22,768 --> 00:33:25,271
Passing outer marker.

00:33:25,304 --> 00:33:26,272

855
00:33:44,590 --> 00:33:45,357
BULL:
Wonder how many people

856
00:33:45,391 --> 00:33:47,159
get airsick
in one of these things.

857
00:33:47,193 --> 00:33:48,294

Throttle's up.

00:33:57,736 --> 00:33:58,837
What are you doing?

864
00:33:58,870 --> 00:34:00,139
On the go.
Got to take it around.

865
00:34:00,172 --> 00:34:01,507
BULL:
That's against protocol.

866
00:34:01,540 --> 00:34:02,774
Repeat, against protocol.

867
00:34:02,808 --> 00:34:04,510
Clean it up. Full power.

868
00:34:07,746 --> 00:34:09,648

869
00:34:09,681 --> 00:34:11,650

Five more seconds.

878
00:34:33,405 --> 00:34:35,174
You know what you did?

879
00:34:38,177 --> 00:34:40,512
I got five seconds more flight
out of that plane.

880
00:34:40,546 --> 00:34:44,216
Five seconds is the difference
between putting that plane down

881
00:34:44,250 --> 00:34:47,619
on an empty road or in a
neighborhood filled with people.

882
00:34:49,255 --> 00:34:51,490
Taylor, you didn't want
to relive it

883
00:34:51,523 --> 00:34:53,725
because you were afraid
they were right--

884
00:34:53,759 --> 00:34:55,761
that you lost control,
but you didn't.

885
00:34:58,764 --> 00:35:00,566
How did you know?

886
00:35:00,599 --> 00:35:03,702
Because you're a fighter.

887
00:35:03,735 --> 00:35:06,238
And a fighter pilot.

888
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,375
And another thing
I do know

889
00:35:09,408 --> 00:35:11,377
is that you saved
more lives than your own.

890
00:35:11,410 --> 00:35:13,545
And the jury's
never heard that.

891
00:35:14,946 --> 00:35:17,249
Now... (sighs)

892
00:35:17,283 --> 00:35:20,286
you still want to take
that settlement?

893
00:35:34,633 --> 00:35:36,502
BENNY:
Captain Mathison,

894
00:35:36,535 --> 00:35:37,503
what were you thinking

895
00:35:37,536 --> 00:35:39,305
when the plane lost power
in the wind shear?

896
00:35:39,338 --> 00:35:41,840
Objection. That is not
the NTSB's video.

897
00:35:41,873 --> 00:35:43,375
Your Honor, the video
has been modified

898
00:35:43,409 --> 00:35:44,876
in one specific way,

899
00:35:44,910 --> 00:35:47,213
and that is to show the jury
what was on the ground.

900
00:35:47,246 --> 00:35:49,281
JUDGE:
I'll allow it,

901
00:35:49,315 --> 00:35:50,349
but only for that reason.

902
00:35:50,382 --> 00:35:51,850
Watch your step, Mr. Colón.

903
00:35:52,918 --> 00:35:54,320
I don't remember, actually,

904
00:35:54,353 --> 00:35:55,787
due to head trauma
from the crash.

905
00:35:55,821 --> 00:35:57,323
BENNY: You flew a
simulation earlier

906
00:35:57,356 --> 00:35:58,123
that replicated
the conditions.

907
00:35:58,156 --> 00:36:00,692
And you performed
the same maneuver.

908
00:36:00,726 --> 00:36:02,694
Why?

909
00:36:02,728 --> 00:36:03,695
It was the only way to get

910
00:36:03,729 --> 00:36:05,631
a few more seconds flight
out of the plane.

911
00:36:07,733 --> 00:36:09,268
But it wasn't protocol.

912
00:36:11,270 --> 00:36:13,505
Even your copilot asked
what you were doing.

913
00:36:13,539 --> 00:36:15,274
It would have taken
too long to explain.

914
00:36:15,307 --> 00:36:16,742
He was never a military pilot.

915
00:36:16,775 --> 00:36:18,610
Anyway, there was
nothing for him to do.

916
00:36:18,644 --> 00:36:21,380
I was in full command
of the aircraft.

917
00:36:23,949 --> 00:36:26,218
Why was it important
for the plane

918
00:36:26,252 --> 00:36:28,220
to stay in the air
a few extra seconds?

919
00:36:28,254 --> 00:36:31,757
To veer the plane
to an unpopulated area.

920
00:36:33,525 --> 00:36:35,761
If I couldn't save the lives
of the people on board,

921
00:36:35,794 --> 00:36:37,929
at least I could save
lives on the ground.

922
00:36:37,963 --> 00:36:39,431
(whispers):
Yeah.

923
00:36:50,276 --> 00:36:53,245
Captain Mathison solidified
these ten jurors today.

924
00:36:53,279 --> 00:36:54,580
But?

925
00:36:54,613 --> 00:36:55,914
But what does a
twister aficionado

926
00:36:55,947 --> 00:36:58,750
have in common
with a former infantryman?

927
00:36:58,784 --> 00:36:59,818
Besides flexibility?
Oh...

928
00:36:59,851 --> 00:37:01,687
Benny's closing argument
brings them both to tears.

929
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:03,555
BENNY: I'm working on it.
You've already tried

930
00:37:03,589 --> 00:37:04,890
five different versions
in mock court.

931
00:37:04,923 --> 00:37:06,892
I know,
but none of them are right.

932
00:37:06,925 --> 00:37:08,527
None of them
got us the win.

933
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,396
They just haven't
figured out that gender

934
00:37:10,429 --> 00:37:11,930
plays into Taylor's case.

935
00:37:11,963 --> 00:37:14,933
Incredibly, their mirror jurors
still think she panicked.

936
00:37:14,966 --> 00:37:17,969
All right, I got it. (sighs)

937
00:37:19,971 --> 00:37:21,640
You think he has it?

938
00:37:21,673 --> 00:37:23,409
Not quite.
But he will.

939
00:37:23,442 --> 00:37:25,311
Where's Chunk?
I'll find him.

940
00:37:29,548 --> 00:37:31,517
CHUNK:
Bull says you may need

941
00:37:31,550 --> 00:37:33,652
a new tie.

942
00:37:33,685 --> 00:37:35,787
Really?

943
00:37:35,821 --> 00:37:37,022
Yeah.

944
00:37:37,055 --> 00:37:38,023
I'd stay away from stripes

945
00:37:38,056 --> 00:37:40,659
if you're trying to project
a progressive image.

946
00:37:43,429 --> 00:37:45,564
I can't crack my
closing argument.

947
00:37:45,597 --> 00:37:48,434
I thought closings
were your thing.

948
00:37:48,467 --> 00:37:51,303
Yeah, when I was
a prosecutor.

949
00:37:51,337 --> 00:37:53,905
But since then,
I've been in mock court.

950
00:37:53,939 --> 00:37:56,041
You can lose 100 times
and it doesn't matter,

951
00:37:56,074 --> 00:37:58,477
but today...

952
00:37:58,510 --> 00:38:00,412
only get one shot.

953
00:38:01,980 --> 00:38:04,750
I don't know if this helps,
but when I played for Georgia,

954
00:38:04,783 --> 00:38:06,485
there was a rumor
going around that

955
00:38:06,518 --> 00:38:08,987
someone on the team was gay.

956
00:38:09,020 --> 00:38:10,889
I remember that next practice,

957
00:38:10,922 --> 00:38:13,792
I tackled that quarterback
so hard...

958
00:38:13,825 --> 00:38:15,427
he was out for a week.

959
00:38:15,461 --> 00:38:18,330
We lost our next game,

960
00:38:18,364 --> 00:38:21,433
but no one suspected
that I was gay.

961
00:38:21,467 --> 00:38:24,736
It never occurred to them
that a gay man

962
00:38:24,770 --> 00:38:27,473
could hit that hard.

963
00:38:27,506 --> 00:38:29,875
At least not until
our ten-year reunion.

964
00:38:29,908 --> 00:38:31,610
(chuckles softly)

965
00:38:35,113 --> 00:38:37,883
Chunk.

966
00:38:37,916 --> 00:38:39,885
Thank you.

967
00:38:39,918 --> 00:38:41,920
Tell Bull I said thanks
for the tie.

968
00:38:45,056 --> 00:38:47,559
Now, bear with me.

969
00:38:47,593 --> 00:38:49,995
I'm gonna show you three
pictures that tell a story.

970
00:38:50,028 --> 00:38:52,764
Okay? Here we go.

971
00:38:52,798 --> 00:38:57,503
Now, as you can see,
these kids are getting bullied.

972
00:38:57,536 --> 00:38:59,671
Then one of them fights back.

973
00:39:00,906 --> 00:39:02,641
Here they are

974
00:39:02,674 --> 00:39:04,510
in the principal's office.

975
00:39:06,011 --> 00:39:08,780
And here's the bully,

976
00:39:08,814 --> 00:39:10,949
nursing his black eye.

977
00:39:12,718 --> 00:39:14,653
Okay, now,

978
00:39:14,686 --> 00:39:16,455
as a show of hands,

979
00:39:16,488 --> 00:39:17,689
what was the color shirt

980
00:39:17,723 --> 00:39:20,426
of the kid who
confronted the bully?

981
00:39:20,459 --> 00:39:22,461
Was it a blue shirt?

982
00:39:24,162 --> 00:39:26,498
Okay, well,
let's take a look,

983
00:39:26,532 --> 00:39:28,634
see if we're right.

984
00:39:31,637 --> 00:39:34,440
If you all guessed blue,
you were wrong.

985
00:39:35,574 --> 00:39:37,943
The kid who
confronted the bully

986
00:39:37,976 --> 00:39:40,712
was wearing the red shirt.

987
00:39:41,713 --> 00:39:44,416
See, I never specified

988
00:39:44,450 --> 00:39:46,184
which kid
confronted the bully.

989
00:39:46,217 --> 00:39:48,487
You all just assumed

990
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:49,855
it was the boy.

991
00:39:49,888 --> 00:39:53,559
Now, come on, I admit

992
00:39:53,592 --> 00:39:56,862
I failed the test, too.

993
00:39:58,497 --> 00:40:02,434
See, it's hard to imagine a girl
being the hero of the story.

994
00:40:02,468 --> 00:40:04,603
Just like it's
hard to imagine

995
00:40:04,636 --> 00:40:06,738
Captain Mathison

996
00:40:06,772 --> 00:40:09,975
being the hero
of the one in this court.

997
00:40:10,008 --> 00:40:12,410
But she is.

998
00:40:13,679 --> 00:40:15,714
She doesn't deserve
to be punished

999
00:40:15,747 --> 00:40:17,449
for our failings.

1000
00:40:17,483 --> 00:40:20,586
She deserves to be thanked
for the lives that she saved.

1001
00:40:23,622 --> 00:40:26,091
We need to find her not guilty.

1002
00:40:37,503 --> 00:40:38,904
JUDGE: Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

1003
00:40:38,937 --> 00:40:40,672
have you reached a verdict?

1004
00:40:40,706 --> 00:40:42,608
We have, Your Honor.

1005
00:40:42,641 --> 00:40:44,643
JUDGE:
What say you?

1006
00:40:44,676 --> 00:40:47,946
FOREMAN: As to the charge
of gross negligence,

1007
00:40:47,979 --> 00:40:50,782
we find the defendant
not guilty.

1008
00:40:50,816 --> 00:40:52,818
(gallery murmuring)

1009
00:40:56,254 --> 00:40:58,957
That's one in the win column.

1010
00:41:00,926 --> 00:41:03,695
Very nice to meet you.

1011
00:41:03,729 --> 00:41:05,631
Hey. Oh.

1012
00:41:05,664 --> 00:41:07,499
(chuckles)
Thank you so much.

1013
00:41:07,533 --> 00:41:09,134
Of course. Of course.

1014
00:41:10,201 --> 00:41:11,803
Of course.

1015
00:41:11,837 --> 00:41:13,805
Mary.

1016
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,908
Hi, guys. Hi.

1017
00:41:16,942 --> 00:41:18,143
Come here.

1018
00:41:23,081 --> 00:41:24,850
Thanks.

1019
00:41:24,883 --> 00:41:27,786
(sighs)

1020
00:41:27,819 --> 00:41:29,988
*

1021
00:41:30,021 --> 00:41:32,624
(lively chatter)

1022
00:41:32,658 --> 00:41:33,992
BULL:
May I approach the bar?

1023
00:41:34,025 --> 00:41:35,661
Ah, yes, you may.

1024
00:41:35,694 --> 00:41:37,763
(chuckles):
Aha.

1025
00:41:37,796 --> 00:41:39,565
Congratulations, Dr. Bull.

1026
00:41:39,598 --> 00:41:40,699
You, too.

1027
00:41:40,732 --> 00:41:42,601
Showed a new speed
in court today.

1028
00:41:42,634 --> 00:41:44,035
Yeah, yeah.

1029
00:41:44,069 --> 00:41:45,804
I picked up
a few new moves here.

1030
00:41:45,837 --> 00:41:46,838
I saw that.

1031
00:41:46,872 --> 00:41:48,574
Well, I may start
calling on you

1032
00:41:48,607 --> 00:41:50,842
more often out there.

1033
00:41:56,948 --> 00:41:57,949
Excuse me, Jay.

1034
00:42:00,251 --> 00:42:01,620
Milady.

1035
00:42:01,653 --> 00:42:03,589
Thank you.

1036
00:42:03,622 --> 00:42:05,223
I got a sweet little
gift from Vince.

1037
00:42:05,256 --> 00:42:07,225
(imitates Vince):
"Rock on."
(laughs)

1038
00:42:07,258 --> 00:42:10,562
Heard the airline settled
with the families.

1039
00:42:10,596 --> 00:42:11,897
Double what they
would have paid

1040
00:42:11,930 --> 00:42:14,833
if Taylor had been
found guilty.

1041
00:42:14,866 --> 00:42:18,103
So... how's my team?

1042
00:42:20,672 --> 00:42:22,674
Right where you
want 'em.

1043
00:42:22,708 --> 00:42:24,042
Here.
