Programa de TV: Eli Stone - 1x11
Previously on "eli stone"...
things are different, eli.
Because you kissed me, and then I kissed you, and then you responded by disappearing halfway across the country for a week.
It was just sex.
I've had "just sex."
What we had was something...
else.
Are you really about to tell me that absolutely nothing is going on between you and maggie?
Nothing is going on between me and-- is that an engagement ring?
I'm gonna find a surgeon, and I'm gonna get this thing out of my head.
I'm not sure you should have the operation.
Look, something is happening beyond science.
morning, bill.
how long you been buying your paper at this stand, mr.
Stone?
Oh, I don't know.
Since I moved into my apartment?About five years?
That sounds right.
Yeah.
I know about your breakup with taylor, about how she came to work with you...
about the other girl you work with...
yeah, I'm a sharer, bill.
Name's hank.
Yeah, I'm just sayin'...
U.S.completes Iraq withdrawal Tuesday,October 16,2018 live brave!
Live brave!
who is that?
That's david mosely!
David mosely?
david who?
David mosely, and everyone was acting like-- like he was a rock star or something.
Usually the rock stars in your visions are older, whiter and more british.
That's very helpful.
Eli, I'm happy to help interpret your visions, but since you're convinced they're just hallucinations, I'm not all that sure what you think I can for you.
Well, I had to tell someone.
what about your brother, the doctor, or the neurosurgeon he found for you?
You know, it sounds like somebody's jealous.
You can't have it both ways, eli.
Are you having hallucinations or divinely inspired visions?
Why does the man upstairs have to be involved for me to get a little interpretation here?
If you want to find out mosely's significance, find out if he's for real, if he exists in the present.
He'd be in his mid to late 20s, african-american.
I need you to get me a list of all the david moselys you can find.
Look at that.
And I'm sorry to interrupt your web surfing with actual work.
You scratch my back, I scratch yours.
Just look at him.
It's the saddest thing I've ever seen.
He just sits there heartbroken because the zoo took away his mate.
You know, isn't it a violation of equal protection?
I mean, the state can't separate me from my fianc?
That's your fianc?
You didn't tell me you were engaged to a monkey.
He's not a monkey.
He's a chimp--steve.
His mate--pete.
But some right-wing close-minded crazies are trying to keep them apart.
You're saying that they're gay?
They're gay chimps?
Just look at his little face.
See how happy they were?
I'm sorry.
I don't practice chimp law.
You will if you want me to find this mosely guy.
Quid pro quo, eli.
He's the cutest.
I know.
Next item-- our summer associate recruiting program...
marci.
Don't let me interrupt.
Too late.
You all know marci klein, as in wethersby, posner and...
not to mention the colonizer of our london office.
Make some room at the table for ms.
Klein.
After all, she picked it out.
Eli, I've heard about the, um...
should you be sitting?
I'm fine, ms.
Klein.
Thank you.
I believe we were discussing summer associate recruitment.
With everyone?
Excuse me?
I'm sorry.
I was just admiring how egalitarian we've become.
Moving on.
The lipton S.E.C.Filing.
Stone?
You got a minute?
Shouldn't you be busy trying to hit on someone's fianc�e?
Oh, I'm busy with yours, actually.
In fact, that is what I wanted to talk to you about.
I could use some insight.
Ever since the night we did anything but sleep together, she's been shutting me down.
Are you kidding me?
You actually want me to help you toursue my ex?
What?
It's not like you guys are together anymore.
I would think, of all people, you'd want her to be happy.
And going out with you achieves that how?
that's funny.
So, uh, any inside information you can give me, you know, help grease the wheels?
Okay.
Okay.
But you mustn't tell her I said anything.
No.
You know how taylor loves animals, right?
Yeah?
You know, anyone who knows her knows that's her passion, right?
Animal rights.
Oh, right, yeah.
I love animals.Ask my cat.
Okay, well, excuse me.
Pete and steve vs.
Parcland zoo-- two chimpanzees who belong together that have been ripped apart by the forces of intolerance.
Yeah.
I was gonna take it myself, but...
if you wanted to, say, co-counsel with taylor...
you're an extraordinary human being.
So are you.
I solved your problem.
You reunited steve and pete?
No, but I did the next best thing.
Matt dowd's taking the case.
What'd you find for me?
53 moselys, all african-american, all between the ages of 20 and 40.
Man, narrowing these down is gonna take-- forever, I know.
Consider it a "karmagram"for throwing pete and steve to the tender mercies of matt dowd.
Actually, I think I know which of these moselys I'm looking for.
David mosely?
Says here you were, uh, david mosely's attorney way back when.
Yeah, felony murder case.
He's serving, uh, 25 to life at tipton bay?
Thanks.
I really didn't know that.
Well, uh, I'm about to go visit him, and I was thinking, as you're his last attorney of record, you might want to come along.
No, thank you.
Keith, y're not even gonna ask why I'm going?
I'm too busy.
Give him my regards.
Uh, mr.
Mosely?
My name is eli stone.
This may sound a little strange, but, um...
you don't need a lawyer by any chance, do you?
Now what was your first clue?
Don't tell me.
It's the prison uniform, right?
I'm sorry.
I just...
criminal law isn't exactly in my wheelhouse.
Doesn't matter anyway.
Lawyers say there's nothing to appeal in my case.
if your accomplices testified against you, I'd say it'd be pretty cut-and-dried.
Except they're lyin'.
I never even went inside the store.
I was in the car the whole time.
So I damn sure didn't kill anybody.
But that's ancient history, right?
what's another 20 years in prison anyway?
20 years?
When are you up for parole?
I'm not.
Well, I-I looked at your sentencing, and--and you should be eligible right about now.
- Yeah, I have a right to parole.
But for that, need a parole hearing, and the warden keeps turning down my request on account of disciplinary problems.
There must be some reason.
For a year now, I've been sleeping on the floor of my cell.
The prison has three times as many inmates as it was designed for.
I led a hunger strike to change things.
And he didn't appreciate that.
Now it's costing me my parole hearing.
But I don't care.
People gotta stand up for what they believe in, mr.
Stone.
We've got to...
live brav yeah.
how was prison?
Not that nice.
If you're in there serving, say, 25 to life, you'd want to get out as soon as possible.
So I'm getting him a parole hearing.
Why would he need your help?
Vindictive warden.
Yeah, well, it's not like david isn't a troublemaker.
He says he's innocent.
Everybody says they innocent.
As a public defender, you're lucky if you get an innocent one-- a truly innocent one-- once every three years.
Now those are the ones that-- that you fight for?
David wasn't one of them?
So look who's a criminal lawyer now.
Guilty or not, he's been a model inmate.
He deserves a parole hearing.
I know you don't know me that well, but-- didn't stop you from accusing me of failing my client.
Those weren't my words.
Look, I got the warden to meet with me, but prisoners' rights, I...
I'm in unfamiliar territory here, and I could use a guide.
You've got some new art.
My not-so-secret vice.
I remember your first original piece-- an elmer bischofF.
No need to be diplomatic, marci.
Say what you took a transcontinental flight to say.
Midview financial is the latest in a string of fortune 500 client defections-- beutel pharmaceuticals, zy$ motors...
and yet billables are up 10% this quarter.
After three in decline.
Talk to me about eli stone.
Eli?Well, you know about-- yes, he has an aneurysm and a brand-new conscience to go with it.
How wonderful for us.
He's been doing extraordinarily well in court.
That's not new.
The problem comes when he uses those talents to sue his own firm.
Tell me something.
How is it that one associate is worth the concern of a senior partner who hasn't even worked in this office in three years?
The fear is that mr.
Stone is symptomatic of a larger problem here at W.P.K.
No one's brought any such concerns to my attention thus far.
Consider it done.
So help me, matt, this better be about actual work and not another attempt to get into my pants.
What the holy hell?
This is pete the chimp from the parcland zoo.
Pete, shake hands with taylor wethersby, your new lawyer.
His new what?
Lawyer.
Well, one of 'em.
We're his legal team.
And this is leila maxford.
Leila's the vet at the parcland zoo.
Primatologist, actually.
Mr.
Dowd was telling me your specialty is family law?
Yes.
U normally my cases areconfined to my own species, but...
uh, many zoologists would arguethat the chimpanzee is already a memberof the homo genus.
Oh, which would make petea homo homo, right?
So this isthe gay chimpanzee case.
I figuredsince you love animals, this would be the perfect casefor us to take and try together.
Don't worry.
You can thank me later...
with fewer clothes on.
I'm sorry.
Who told you I loved animals?
mr.
Stone,get to your David moselyhas gotten his G.E.D.
He's taken college courses.
He shown exemplary behavior.
Yes.
Here he is. "
Refused bathroom detail. "
Refused kitchen detail. "
Encouraged others to refuse their work detail. "
Was found withprohibited reading materials.
Refused to eat."
I believe he was engagingin civil disobedience, protesting the overcrowded conditions.
Well, this is nota college campus where community activism is encouraged.
When can he expectto get a hearing?
I don't know.
Depends on that attitude of his.
Maybeanother five years or so.
His, uh, learning curve's a bit steep.
Five years?
You've gotta be kidding.
If we're done here- no, we're not done.
We know you have a difficult job.
We-- no, actually,it's pretty simple.
I feed them.
I water 'em.
I try to keep 'emfrom killing each other.
That's my job.
What about rehabilitationand reform?
Not in my budget.
Okay.
Now we're done.
We'll get davida hearing before a judge.
Well, if you thinkthat'll help, go ahead.
I, for one,admire your optimism.
We don't see a lot of thataround here.
Eli...
i hate animals, especially gorilla-type ones! "
Hate's" a strong word.
Isn't itre of a fear thing with you?
What's she talking about?
Apes.
One's her client.
The other's her co-counsel.
I can't believe you'reactually jealous of matt dowd.
I'm not jealous.
Fine.
We'll see if you are.
If you need me,I'll be in matt's office working shoulder-to-shoulderwith him late into the night.
You livea very interesting life.
Don't I, though?
Eli!
David mosely called.
Something happened.
What's he doing here?
I'm on your legal team.
Let'shope second time's the charm.
I don't want his help.
Well, you'veeengetting it already.
you all right?
I'll survive.
It's just a few broken ribs.
How'd u get 'em?
The warden knowshow to make a point.
Well, we're gonnamake a point, too.
What do you think?
Habeas writ?
That just helps david.
I doubt he's the only guy in here getting this kind of treatment.
All right.
Then we'll help everyone.
Class action on behalf ofthe entire prison population.
We'll sue for denialof parole hearings, violation of civil rights, prisoner abuse--all of it.
something funny about that?
Just like the wayyou boys roll.
********To go through literally hundreds of boxesof D.O.C.Records.
Within those pages,we have to find evidence of a pattern of abuse...
and link itto tipton bay's warden.
What's going on here?
Um, we're pulling insome of the associates on our class action case.
Do--do you know what casehe's talking about?
No, in fact, I don'T.
Mr.
Stone?
We're trying to move forwardwith a class action suit on behalf of the inmatesat tipton bay.
Prisoners' rightsclass action?
Well, this should getour fortune 500 clients running back into the fold.
Marci.
W.P.K.Is not legal aid.Recuse yourselves.
That's not a decisionyou can make unilaterally.
You're backing them on this?
I'm supporting my attorneys.
This firm does not cut and run.
We don't throw good moneyafter bad, either.
It is gratifying to see yourcommitment to pro bono work.
However,this case being pro bono, your time on it will not counttowards the 75 hours a week you're expected to bill.
Now who's interested in assisting mr.
Stone?
You brought mea gay chimp case?
Seriously?
Steve is literallydying of a broken heart.
And I'm empathetic.
But if the D.A.Doesn't seeany merit in this case-- then we'll petition to betheir guardians ad litem.
And get shot down.
These are chimps, not kids.
They're more similarthan you think, your honor.
Have you heard of the theoryof chimpanzee tort protection?
Let's go out on a limband say that I haven'T.
Well, your honor, the C.T.P.As it's known in some circles, includingthe "harvard law review," argues that becauseof the similarities between chimpanzees and humans-- emotionally, behaviorally and morally-- and genetically.
Humans and chimps share over95% of the same active D.N.A.
There is thereforea legal obligation to extend civil rights protectionto our cousins, the chimps.
Your honor, you're notseriously considering this ridiculous theory?
I will...
after I hearoral arguments on the case.
2:00 tomorrow.
we're gonna get thrown outof court unless we can prove a connection between prisonerswho end up in the infirmary and those who speak out, and then we have to connect that group to warden brown.
Shouldn't be a problem.
I mean, there's two of us and only a gajillion pages of documents.
you know,if that's your fianc?
it's okay to talk to him in front of me.
I know that.
hey, sweetie.
Yeah, another late night.
I'll call youin a little bit.
I love you, too.
if you want to talk to himfor a while, it's-- oh, no, he gets it.Scott's really awesome.
What, "hmm"?
Oh, nothing.
Well, it's not nothing.
You hmm'ed.That meant something.
No, I mean, "hmm" like, youknow, hey, that's interesting.
'Cause, you know, I mean,you never really mentioned scott before you got engaged.
Well,you knew I had a boyfriend.
You have to admitthe whole engagement thing kind of came out of nowhere.
No, it didn'T.
It came out of ohio.
I went back home,and it reprioritized a lot of things for me.
I realized I'd--you know,I'd been distracted lately-- and not by you, since I know that's what you're thinking.
Well, I...
but by work and stuff.
Good.
I'm glad, 'cause I'd hateto think that you did something as severeas get engaged as a reaction to...
whatever.
I didn'T.
you just tell the courtexactly what you told me.
You wrote those lettersabout the sewage in your cell.
They had you beaten up.
That's what happened.
Got the 22 stitches to prove it.
Thanks, luis.
I'll see you in courT.
Thank you.
All right.
What are you doing here?
You gonna ask me that every time you see me?
Every time?
It's been twice in tenears.
They offered you five years.
Good behavior, you'd havebeen out of here by now.
Well, you wouldn't agreeto five weeks if it was a crimeyou didn't do.
But I turnedyour five years down, and you just stopped fighting.
I did fight.
We lost.
I told you that was the riskof going to trial.
You had no onewho backed up your alibi.
Where is the other lawyer?
Where's stone?
He's working the caseback at the office.
M taking depos.
I'm the guy you've got now, david.
There's no one else coming.
the second year I was here,my cellmate's appendix burst.
They waited a day and a halfbefore getting him to a doctor.
I filed a complaint.
What happened?
I got transferredto "e" wing-- me and 25 memberof the aryan nation.
Punctured lung,broken arm in two places, and I got off easy.
My cellmate with the appendixdied that night.
It's unbelievable.
Yeah, we should keep goin'.
I got ten years' worthof stories to tell.
How are we doing?
Great.
Fantastic.
Really good.
Have you beento the web site today?
Have you seenthe new pictures of stevie?
He's getting sicker.
He's looking all pale.
But still a chimp, which, end ofthe day, is our whole problem.
We're gonna haveto drop this case, patti.
Oh, don't you "patti" me.
Everyone knows you area meat-eatin' animal hater.
What?
- That's not exac-- how many of god's creatureshad to die to make your shoes?
I don't know.
You mean you don'teven like...
stone did this!
I don't believe you.
The onlyreason you took this case was to piss off your ex!
The whole reason you took it wasto try and get me back into bed.
All right, knock it off,both of you!
I don't carehow you got here, but this is what this case is about.
Now you put thosehigh-priced law degrees to work!
I'll be outside,but no one leaves until you figure out howyou're gonna save my chimps.
get to work!
So you're reallygoing back at it?
Just--just one more hour, yeah.
Thanks.
See you tomorrow.
I wouldn't be standing here right now looking out at this sea of faces, of hope,tens of thousands strong, if it weren't for the peoplewhose lives touched mine years ago--people like daryl rhodes.
to daryl rhodes, the manwhose single courageous voice helped me change tipton bay.
And keith bennett...
the lawyer whonever forgot about me, who stood by me and propped me upwhen I was falling.
Ohmy god.
pete was born in the wildin uganda.
And at 3 months old, he sawhis mother killed by poachers.
Fortunately,some conservationists found him.
But he never formedan attachment until he came to our zoo.
And that attachmentwas to steve?
Chimps usually are threatenedby newcomers to a group.
Steve--slight, already a bitof an outsider himself, had an immediate rapportwith pete.
Steve brought pete food.
He groomed him, and they slept togetherevery night.
And by sleeping with...
you remi himof his mother.
That's so sweet.
so when you say that pete and steveslept together, you mean...
they literally slept together in each other's arms.
But, yes, there wassexual activity, too, which is ultimately why they were separated.
And since the separation?
Steve has stopped eating.
He's lost weight.
He's developedbleeding ulcers and, uh,self-inflicted wounds.
Like all social primates steve craves a connection, and pete was that connection, and without him,he is heartbroken. "
Steve the chimpis heartbroken."
Is that a pixar movie?
So, uh, basically,chimps are human, just shorter, stupiderand with more hair?
You just describedmy ex-husband.
Chimpanzees aregenetically closer to humans than they are to other apes.
Didn't pete bite youtwo years ago?
He was just excited.
That was my fault.
I had food in my pocketwhen I went into the habitat.
So I assume you calledthe police and pressed charges against pete for assault?
Of course not.
Why not?
I mean, if we'regiving animals legal rights, shouldn't they be giventhe same responsibilities?
Why didn't youcall the police?
Becau-- because that wouldhave been silly.
Well, I-I trust your judgment.
You seem to bean expert on silly.
I've served 13 yearsof a 25 years-to-life sentence.
What about parole?
I haven'had a single hearing.
Weren't you eligible after ten years?
My hearing was denied 'cause of disciplinary infractions.
What did you do,uis?
I stole some cigarettes.
I got into a fightwith another inmate.
It was my fault.
I know that's whatthe prison report says could you tell the courtwhat you told mr.
Bennett?
That is what I told him.
It was my fault, just like I said in the report.
Seek to treat this witnessas hostile, your honor?
on what basis?
The witness has recantedhis entire sworn affidavit, your honor.
Mr.
Calderon,you realize that if you fail to tell the truth, you face perjury charges?
Is this your signature?
Right here under the line where it says, "signed under the painsand penalties of perjury"?
I never signed this page.
I don't knowwhere you got this at.
He got to them.
We still havenine more inmates call.
It's just gonna be more of the same.
So we find more evidencethe warden coerced them into changing their testimony.
Are you always this naive?
Okay, let's not panic...
not that I'm saying it's nota perfectly good time to, but we still have the mountainof files to go over.
Why don't you guyshead on back, all right?
I'll, uh,be there in a minute.
I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
Warden's got the upper hand, and he's not afraid to smackanybody around with it.
I'm not talkingabout the warden.
I'm talking about me,ten years ago.
It's a little latefor "I'm sorry."
I know.
I know, but...
I was young, and I thought- you thought I was guilty.
It was easy to do, what with the evidenceagainst you and your attitude.
You didn't make it easy.
That's some apology.
The point is that, um, I should havelooked past all that.
A guilty man deserves the sadefense as an innocent man.
That's my job...
and I didn't do it.
If I knew what kind of needleyou were looking for, maybe I could help youfind it in the haystack.
Something about somebodycalled daryl rhodes, and I have no idea who he is, so there's really no pointin both of us wasting our time.
It's not a waste when two setsof eyes are better than just-- just go home, okay?
Eli, what- - seriously, maggie,just get outta here.
I don't want you to cancelyour life for me.
Cancel my life?
I don't want to be the reasonyou and your boyfriend break up.
What the hellare you talking about?
Nothing.
I'm just--I'M...
I'm really tired,and, um...
maybe we don't need to spendquite so much alone time.
Okay.
Good night.
Good night.
Eli?
Eli!Eli!
could you yella little louder maybe?
You're still lookingfor daryl rhodes, right?
Unfortunately right.
Well...
I brought help.
boxes and boxesof documents, stacks of affidavitsfrom inmates which counsel can't seemto get the inmates to testify in support of.
Because they've been coerced.
Really?
Then why not produceevidence of that?
oh, thank god.
What was that, mr.
Stone?
Your honor, I'd liketo call another witness.
Would this be an actual witnessor more testimony by affidavit?
An actual witness--mr.
Daryl rhodes.
Mr.
Rhodes, would you stateyour occupation for the record?
U-until last march, I was administrative assistantto warden brown at the, uh, tipton baystate correctional facility.
Why'd you leave?
I got tired of not being ableto sleep through the night.
What was keeping you up,mr.
Rhodes?
Things in the prison-- uh, overcrowding, double celling, substandard living conditions, even for a prison.
And, uh, if an inmate evercomplained about any of that, the wardenould have metransfer him to another wing.
What's so wrong with that?
It was alwaysa part of the prison where hostile inmateswere housed-- uh...
a black inmate to, uh,aryan brotherhood territory, or a white inmate to wherethe latin disciples were.
And--and what--what would happenif the transferred inmate didn't get alongwith his new neighbors?
Well, to a man, they'd, uh,they'd end up in the infirmary.
Mr.
Rhodes, I've beenthrough every transfer, every record, every sheet of paperproduced to me by tipton bay.
I didn't find anything todocument what you're describing.
That's because there wasnever anything in writing.
The, uh, the warden wouldjust call me into his office, and, uh, I'd get it done.
And afterward,would the inmates ever complain about conditionsat the prison again?
No, sir.
Your honor...
your honor,there are no words to describe how violently opposedI am to this.
To call it a stuntwould be disservice to the word "stunt."
Miss bonilla madea very good point yesterday.
With legal rightscome legal responsibility, including the responsibilityto support one's case with personal stimony.
Which presumesthe witness can testify, which presumes the witness can speak.
Then what possible harmcould there be?
She's got you, ms.
Bonilla.
ms.
Wethersby,call your witness.
Thank you, your honor.
We call pete the chimp.
Wait.No.This is a joke.
Step back.
So what do we do now-- make him swear an oathon the bible?
I think we can presumetruthful testimony here.
Do you have any questions foryour witness, ms.
Wethersby?
Just two, your honor.
Look, pete!
It's steve.
pete, do you miss steve?
Pete, do you wantto see steve?
and it's another chimp.
Why not?
pete and stevehaven't seen each other since they've been separated.
I think it's pretty obvioushow genuine their affection for each other is.
The problem is, of course,pete and steve are just chimps.
And if I were to rulein your favor, I would be creatingnew law here, and my ruling wouldmost undoubtedly be laughed at and overturned in six months.
Mm, could even be a year...
during which time, pete and stevewould be togethe your honor, don't--don't--don't do that.
I rule in favorof the plaintiffs.
Separation of these chimpscauses undue harm under the eory of...
chimpanzee tort protection.
They made that up!
They made that up!
Something I'm sureyou'll point out in the appeal it'll take almost a month for you to draft and file.
I've been authorizedbyhe D.O.C.To make an offerto settle.
For starters,mr.
Mosely sees the inside of a parole hearing room,and pronto.
And then there's the matter of damages.
Give me a number.
How much would it cost to complywith the governor's prison crowding and recidivism initiatives?
Millions, I imagine.
Well, there you go.
we'll work outa number and get back to you.
Do we have a deal in principle?
You do, if the department of correctionsfires warden brown and promises not to employ him anywhere within the organization.
You're out of your mind.
That's not something I can do, mr.
Stone.
You can, and I'm gonnatell you why.
Everything we're talking about--the parole hearing for david mosely, the money for prison reform-- is meaningless if he's in chargeof so much as a paper clip.
He used tipton baylike aeapon, beating inmates with it.
His only involvementin the correctional system should be as an inmate-- which, by the way, is our next moveif he doesn't resign.
We drive daryl rhos down to the district attorney's office, where he swears out an affidavit against mr.
Brown.
So I guess this really is a question for you, sir-- are you gonna resign,or do I go get my car?
what doou think?
Nice.
I think I see a guyon a horse.
Congratulationson theipton bay settleme.
Thank you, and thanksfor supporting me.
I know I put you in an comfortable positionwith ms.
Klein.
Whatever position I y or may not be in with ms.
Klein, uncomfortable or not,it's none of your concern.
I'm hoping this isa personal acquisition, not forthe W.P.K.CollectioN.
Coratulationson your moral victory.
Thank you.
It's aost wortthe two computer compani and threedepartment store chains we lost due to our new"we heart criminals" reputation.
And that's regrettable.
Mm, we'll surviv the fact that david mosely wilbe staying put at tipton bay helps to contain the damag actually, the boardgranted david's parole.
True...
but the governor denied it.
Wh-- d you do that?
Only in thatI voted for him.
If you'd like to discussthis matter with me further, I've taken over 2 officesonhe 20th floor.
I'lle herefor the duration.
I don'know what to say.
There's nothing to say.
You know, I don't knowif I could do it...
take that kind of hitand keep going.
That's whavi brave'sall about.
I got another shotat parole next year and the year after that.
You came through, man.
bought you something. "
black's law dictionary."
Heard of it?
Yeah.
It's for lawyers.
And guys lookingto make parole.
I figure can make itdown here oncetwice a month we can go through it.
My own personal law school?
Oh, yeah.
It's, uh,somethin' like that.
Where do we start?
here.
Habeas corpus.
It's latin.
It means"to produce the body."
But legally, this isthe most important safeguard to all of our individual...
This reallyis chimp paradise.
They weren't kiddingwhen they named it.
Oh, they're gonnalove it here.
I can't believe the zooagreed to release them.
I know.
What some peoplewill do to avoid watching two monkeys get it on.
They're chimps.
it's time.
Someone wantsto say good-bye and thank you.
Wait till they see their bill.
bye, guys.
Have a good life.
Well, I'm gonna take 'em in.
Anyone want to see the habitat?
Oh, you know I'm coming.
Oh, I'll--I've gota great view from here.
you know, you act likeyou don't like chimps, but deep down,you kinda like us.
Do you know the restaurantle petit table?
Napa valley.
6-month waiting list.
Have to know bill gates toget in.
That le petit table?
If you can get us reservationsthere next saturday night, I'll have dinner with you.
You're sure you wouldn'tsettle for french fries?
All right.
Had to take a shot.
how are you still standing?
You've been here 36 hours.
I have no idea.
I heard about david.
Yeah.
You made a difference, eli.
The warden's gone.
The prison'salready turning around.
Yeah.
It's just...
I had a picturein my head, you know?
David was gonna get out and go on and dosome pretty amazing things.
We don't knowwhat's gonna happen, eli.
That's why they call itthe future.
hi, sweetie.
I'll take the next one.
I wouldn't be standing here right now if it weren't for the people whose lives touched mine years ago-- people like my very good friend eli stone...
the man whose words and deedsreminded us that there is no faithwithout hope, no justice without compassion, no humanity without fairness...
the man who reminded us that every one of us, the least of us, is still divine.
Ladies and gentlemen,I present to you the man we've all come hereto see tonight...
eli stone.
live brave!Live brave!
Live brave!Live brave!
things are different, eli.
Because you kissed me, and then I kissed you, and then you responded by disappearing halfway across the country for a week.
It was just sex.
I've had "just sex."
What we had was something...
else.
Are you really about to tell me that absolutely nothing is going on between you and maggie?
Nothing is going on between me and-- is that an engagement ring?
I'm gonna find a surgeon, and I'm gonna get this thing out of my head.
I'm not sure you should have the operation.
Look, something is happening beyond science.
morning, bill.
how long you been buying your paper at this stand, mr.
Stone?
Oh, I don't know.
Since I moved into my apartment?About five years?
That sounds right.
Yeah.
I know about your breakup with taylor, about how she came to work with you...
about the other girl you work with...
yeah, I'm a sharer, bill.
Name's hank.
Yeah, I'm just sayin'...
U.S.completes Iraq withdrawal Tuesday,October 16,2018 live brave!
Live brave!
who is that?
That's david mosely!
David mosely?
david who?
David mosely, and everyone was acting like-- like he was a rock star or something.
Usually the rock stars in your visions are older, whiter and more british.
That's very helpful.
Eli, I'm happy to help interpret your visions, but since you're convinced they're just hallucinations, I'm not all that sure what you think I can for you.
Well, I had to tell someone.
what about your brother, the doctor, or the neurosurgeon he found for you?
You know, it sounds like somebody's jealous.
You can't have it both ways, eli.
Are you having hallucinations or divinely inspired visions?
Why does the man upstairs have to be involved for me to get a little interpretation here?
If you want to find out mosely's significance, find out if he's for real, if he exists in the present.
He'd be in his mid to late 20s, african-american.
I need you to get me a list of all the david moselys you can find.
Look at that.
And I'm sorry to interrupt your web surfing with actual work.
You scratch my back, I scratch yours.
Just look at him.
It's the saddest thing I've ever seen.
He just sits there heartbroken because the zoo took away his mate.
You know, isn't it a violation of equal protection?
I mean, the state can't separate me from my fianc?
That's your fianc?
You didn't tell me you were engaged to a monkey.
He's not a monkey.
He's a chimp--steve.
His mate--pete.
But some right-wing close-minded crazies are trying to keep them apart.
You're saying that they're gay?
They're gay chimps?
Just look at his little face.
See how happy they were?
I'm sorry.
I don't practice chimp law.
You will if you want me to find this mosely guy.
Quid pro quo, eli.
He's the cutest.
I know.
Next item-- our summer associate recruiting program...
marci.
Don't let me interrupt.
Too late.
You all know marci klein, as in wethersby, posner and...
not to mention the colonizer of our london office.
Make some room at the table for ms.
Klein.
After all, she picked it out.
Eli, I've heard about the, um...
should you be sitting?
I'm fine, ms.
Klein.
Thank you.
I believe we were discussing summer associate recruitment.
With everyone?
Excuse me?
I'm sorry.
I was just admiring how egalitarian we've become.
Moving on.
The lipton S.E.C.Filing.
Stone?
You got a minute?
Shouldn't you be busy trying to hit on someone's fianc�e?
Oh, I'm busy with yours, actually.
In fact, that is what I wanted to talk to you about.
I could use some insight.
Ever since the night we did anything but sleep together, she's been shutting me down.
Are you kidding me?
You actually want me to help you toursue my ex?
What?
It's not like you guys are together anymore.
I would think, of all people, you'd want her to be happy.
And going out with you achieves that how?
that's funny.
So, uh, any inside information you can give me, you know, help grease the wheels?
Okay.
Okay.
But you mustn't tell her I said anything.
No.
You know how taylor loves animals, right?
Yeah?
You know, anyone who knows her knows that's her passion, right?
Animal rights.
Oh, right, yeah.
I love animals.Ask my cat.
Okay, well, excuse me.
Pete and steve vs.
Parcland zoo-- two chimpanzees who belong together that have been ripped apart by the forces of intolerance.
Yeah.
I was gonna take it myself, but...
if you wanted to, say, co-counsel with taylor...
you're an extraordinary human being.
So are you.
I solved your problem.
You reunited steve and pete?
No, but I did the next best thing.
Matt dowd's taking the case.
What'd you find for me?
53 moselys, all african-american, all between the ages of 20 and 40.
Man, narrowing these down is gonna take-- forever, I know.
Consider it a "karmagram"for throwing pete and steve to the tender mercies of matt dowd.
Actually, I think I know which of these moselys I'm looking for.
David mosely?
Says here you were, uh, david mosely's attorney way back when.
Yeah, felony murder case.
He's serving, uh, 25 to life at tipton bay?
Thanks.
I really didn't know that.
Well, uh, I'm about to go visit him, and I was thinking, as you're his last attorney of record, you might want to come along.
No, thank you.
Keith, y're not even gonna ask why I'm going?
I'm too busy.
Give him my regards.
Uh, mr.
Mosely?
My name is eli stone.
This may sound a little strange, but, um...
you don't need a lawyer by any chance, do you?
Now what was your first clue?
Don't tell me.
It's the prison uniform, right?
I'm sorry.
I just...
criminal law isn't exactly in my wheelhouse.
Doesn't matter anyway.
Lawyers say there's nothing to appeal in my case.
if your accomplices testified against you, I'd say it'd be pretty cut-and-dried.
Except they're lyin'.
I never even went inside the store.
I was in the car the whole time.
So I damn sure didn't kill anybody.
But that's ancient history, right?
what's another 20 years in prison anyway?
20 years?
When are you up for parole?
I'm not.
Well, I-I looked at your sentencing, and--and you should be eligible right about now.
- Yeah, I have a right to parole.
But for that, need a parole hearing, and the warden keeps turning down my request on account of disciplinary problems.
There must be some reason.
For a year now, I've been sleeping on the floor of my cell.
The prison has three times as many inmates as it was designed for.
I led a hunger strike to change things.
And he didn't appreciate that.
Now it's costing me my parole hearing.
But I don't care.
People gotta stand up for what they believe in, mr.
Stone.
We've got to...
live brav yeah.
how was prison?
Not that nice.
If you're in there serving, say, 25 to life, you'd want to get out as soon as possible.
So I'm getting him a parole hearing.
Why would he need your help?
Vindictive warden.
Yeah, well, it's not like david isn't a troublemaker.
He says he's innocent.
Everybody says they innocent.
As a public defender, you're lucky if you get an innocent one-- a truly innocent one-- once every three years.
Now those are the ones that-- that you fight for?
David wasn't one of them?
So look who's a criminal lawyer now.
Guilty or not, he's been a model inmate.
He deserves a parole hearing.
I know you don't know me that well, but-- didn't stop you from accusing me of failing my client.
Those weren't my words.
Look, I got the warden to meet with me, but prisoners' rights, I...
I'm in unfamiliar territory here, and I could use a guide.
You've got some new art.
My not-so-secret vice.
I remember your first original piece-- an elmer bischofF.
No need to be diplomatic, marci.
Say what you took a transcontinental flight to say.
Midview financial is the latest in a string of fortune 500 client defections-- beutel pharmaceuticals, zy$ motors...
and yet billables are up 10% this quarter.
After three in decline.
Talk to me about eli stone.
Eli?Well, you know about-- yes, he has an aneurysm and a brand-new conscience to go with it.
How wonderful for us.
He's been doing extraordinarily well in court.
That's not new.
The problem comes when he uses those talents to sue his own firm.
Tell me something.
How is it that one associate is worth the concern of a senior partner who hasn't even worked in this office in three years?
The fear is that mr.
Stone is symptomatic of a larger problem here at W.P.K.
No one's brought any such concerns to my attention thus far.
Consider it done.
So help me, matt, this better be about actual work and not another attempt to get into my pants.
What the holy hell?
This is pete the chimp from the parcland zoo.
Pete, shake hands with taylor wethersby, your new lawyer.
His new what?
Lawyer.
Well, one of 'em.
We're his legal team.
And this is leila maxford.
Leila's the vet at the parcland zoo.
Primatologist, actually.
Mr.
Dowd was telling me your specialty is family law?
Yes.
U normally my cases areconfined to my own species, but...
uh, many zoologists would arguethat the chimpanzee is already a memberof the homo genus.
Oh, which would make petea homo homo, right?
So this isthe gay chimpanzee case.
I figuredsince you love animals, this would be the perfect casefor us to take and try together.
Don't worry.
You can thank me later...
with fewer clothes on.
I'm sorry.
Who told you I loved animals?
mr.
Stone,get to your David moselyhas gotten his G.E.D.
He's taken college courses.
He shown exemplary behavior.
Yes.
Here he is. "
Refused bathroom detail. "
Refused kitchen detail. "
Encouraged others to refuse their work detail. "
Was found withprohibited reading materials.
Refused to eat."
I believe he was engagingin civil disobedience, protesting the overcrowded conditions.
Well, this is nota college campus where community activism is encouraged.
When can he expectto get a hearing?
I don't know.
Depends on that attitude of his.
Maybeanother five years or so.
His, uh, learning curve's a bit steep.
Five years?
You've gotta be kidding.
If we're done here- no, we're not done.
We know you have a difficult job.
We-- no, actually,it's pretty simple.
I feed them.
I water 'em.
I try to keep 'emfrom killing each other.
That's my job.
What about rehabilitationand reform?
Not in my budget.
Okay.
Now we're done.
We'll get davida hearing before a judge.
Well, if you thinkthat'll help, go ahead.
I, for one,admire your optimism.
We don't see a lot of thataround here.
Eli...
i hate animals, especially gorilla-type ones! "
Hate's" a strong word.
Isn't itre of a fear thing with you?
What's she talking about?
Apes.
One's her client.
The other's her co-counsel.
I can't believe you'reactually jealous of matt dowd.
I'm not jealous.
Fine.
We'll see if you are.
If you need me,I'll be in matt's office working shoulder-to-shoulderwith him late into the night.
You livea very interesting life.
Don't I, though?
Eli!
David mosely called.
Something happened.
What's he doing here?
I'm on your legal team.
Let'shope second time's the charm.
I don't want his help.
Well, you'veeengetting it already.
you all right?
I'll survive.
It's just a few broken ribs.
How'd u get 'em?
The warden knowshow to make a point.
Well, we're gonnamake a point, too.
What do you think?
Habeas writ?
That just helps david.
I doubt he's the only guy in here getting this kind of treatment.
All right.
Then we'll help everyone.
Class action on behalf ofthe entire prison population.
We'll sue for denialof parole hearings, violation of civil rights, prisoner abuse--all of it.
something funny about that?
Just like the wayyou boys roll.
********To go through literally hundreds of boxesof D.O.C.Records.
Within those pages,we have to find evidence of a pattern of abuse...
and link itto tipton bay's warden.
What's going on here?
Um, we're pulling insome of the associates on our class action case.
Do--do you know what casehe's talking about?
No, in fact, I don'T.
Mr.
Stone?
We're trying to move forwardwith a class action suit on behalf of the inmatesat tipton bay.
Prisoners' rightsclass action?
Well, this should getour fortune 500 clients running back into the fold.
Marci.
W.P.K.Is not legal aid.Recuse yourselves.
That's not a decisionyou can make unilaterally.
You're backing them on this?
I'm supporting my attorneys.
This firm does not cut and run.
We don't throw good moneyafter bad, either.
It is gratifying to see yourcommitment to pro bono work.
However,this case being pro bono, your time on it will not counttowards the 75 hours a week you're expected to bill.
Now who's interested in assisting mr.
Stone?
You brought mea gay chimp case?
Seriously?
Steve is literallydying of a broken heart.
And I'm empathetic.
But if the D.A.Doesn't seeany merit in this case-- then we'll petition to betheir guardians ad litem.
And get shot down.
These are chimps, not kids.
They're more similarthan you think, your honor.
Have you heard of the theoryof chimpanzee tort protection?
Let's go out on a limband say that I haven'T.
Well, your honor, the C.T.P.As it's known in some circles, includingthe "harvard law review," argues that becauseof the similarities between chimpanzees and humans-- emotionally, behaviorally and morally-- and genetically.
Humans and chimps share over95% of the same active D.N.A.
There is thereforea legal obligation to extend civil rights protectionto our cousins, the chimps.
Your honor, you're notseriously considering this ridiculous theory?
I will...
after I hearoral arguments on the case.
2:00 tomorrow.
we're gonna get thrown outof court unless we can prove a connection between prisonerswho end up in the infirmary and those who speak out, and then we have to connect that group to warden brown.
Shouldn't be a problem.
I mean, there's two of us and only a gajillion pages of documents.
you know,if that's your fianc?
it's okay to talk to him in front of me.
I know that.
hey, sweetie.
Yeah, another late night.
I'll call youin a little bit.
I love you, too.
if you want to talk to himfor a while, it's-- oh, no, he gets it.Scott's really awesome.
What, "hmm"?
Oh, nothing.
Well, it's not nothing.
You hmm'ed.That meant something.
No, I mean, "hmm" like, youknow, hey, that's interesting.
'Cause, you know, I mean,you never really mentioned scott before you got engaged.
Well,you knew I had a boyfriend.
You have to admitthe whole engagement thing kind of came out of nowhere.
No, it didn'T.
It came out of ohio.
I went back home,and it reprioritized a lot of things for me.
I realized I'd--you know,I'd been distracted lately-- and not by you, since I know that's what you're thinking.
Well, I...
but by work and stuff.
Good.
I'm glad, 'cause I'd hateto think that you did something as severeas get engaged as a reaction to...
whatever.
I didn'T.
you just tell the courtexactly what you told me.
You wrote those lettersabout the sewage in your cell.
They had you beaten up.
That's what happened.
Got the 22 stitches to prove it.
Thanks, luis.
I'll see you in courT.
Thank you.
All right.
What are you doing here?
You gonna ask me that every time you see me?
Every time?
It's been twice in tenears.
They offered you five years.
Good behavior, you'd havebeen out of here by now.
Well, you wouldn't agreeto five weeks if it was a crimeyou didn't do.
But I turnedyour five years down, and you just stopped fighting.
I did fight.
We lost.
I told you that was the riskof going to trial.
You had no onewho backed up your alibi.
Where is the other lawyer?
Where's stone?
He's working the caseback at the office.
M taking depos.
I'm the guy you've got now, david.
There's no one else coming.
the second year I was here,my cellmate's appendix burst.
They waited a day and a halfbefore getting him to a doctor.
I filed a complaint.
What happened?
I got transferredto "e" wing-- me and 25 memberof the aryan nation.
Punctured lung,broken arm in two places, and I got off easy.
My cellmate with the appendixdied that night.
It's unbelievable.
Yeah, we should keep goin'.
I got ten years' worthof stories to tell.
How are we doing?
Great.
Fantastic.
Really good.
Have you beento the web site today?
Have you seenthe new pictures of stevie?
He's getting sicker.
He's looking all pale.
But still a chimp, which, end ofthe day, is our whole problem.
We're gonna haveto drop this case, patti.
Oh, don't you "patti" me.
Everyone knows you area meat-eatin' animal hater.
What?
- That's not exac-- how many of god's creatureshad to die to make your shoes?
I don't know.
You mean you don'teven like...
stone did this!
I don't believe you.
The onlyreason you took this case was to piss off your ex!
The whole reason you took it wasto try and get me back into bed.
All right, knock it off,both of you!
I don't carehow you got here, but this is what this case is about.
Now you put thosehigh-priced law degrees to work!
I'll be outside,but no one leaves until you figure out howyou're gonna save my chimps.
get to work!
So you're reallygoing back at it?
Just--just one more hour, yeah.
Thanks.
See you tomorrow.
I wouldn't be standing here right now looking out at this sea of faces, of hope,tens of thousands strong, if it weren't for the peoplewhose lives touched mine years ago--people like daryl rhodes.
to daryl rhodes, the manwhose single courageous voice helped me change tipton bay.
And keith bennett...
the lawyer whonever forgot about me, who stood by me and propped me upwhen I was falling.
Ohmy god.
pete was born in the wildin uganda.
And at 3 months old, he sawhis mother killed by poachers.
Fortunately,some conservationists found him.
But he never formedan attachment until he came to our zoo.
And that attachmentwas to steve?
Chimps usually are threatenedby newcomers to a group.
Steve--slight, already a bitof an outsider himself, had an immediate rapportwith pete.
Steve brought pete food.
He groomed him, and they slept togetherevery night.
And by sleeping with...
you remi himof his mother.
That's so sweet.
so when you say that pete and steveslept together, you mean...
they literally slept together in each other's arms.
But, yes, there wassexual activity, too, which is ultimately why they were separated.
And since the separation?
Steve has stopped eating.
He's lost weight.
He's developedbleeding ulcers and, uh,self-inflicted wounds.
Like all social primates steve craves a connection, and pete was that connection, and without him,he is heartbroken. "
Steve the chimpis heartbroken."
Is that a pixar movie?
So, uh, basically,chimps are human, just shorter, stupiderand with more hair?
You just describedmy ex-husband.
Chimpanzees aregenetically closer to humans than they are to other apes.
Didn't pete bite youtwo years ago?
He was just excited.
That was my fault.
I had food in my pocketwhen I went into the habitat.
So I assume you calledthe police and pressed charges against pete for assault?
Of course not.
Why not?
I mean, if we'regiving animals legal rights, shouldn't they be giventhe same responsibilities?
Why didn't youcall the police?
Becau-- because that wouldhave been silly.
Well, I-I trust your judgment.
You seem to bean expert on silly.
I've served 13 yearsof a 25 years-to-life sentence.
What about parole?
I haven'had a single hearing.
Weren't you eligible after ten years?
My hearing was denied 'cause of disciplinary infractions.
What did you do,uis?
I stole some cigarettes.
I got into a fightwith another inmate.
It was my fault.
I know that's whatthe prison report says could you tell the courtwhat you told mr.
Bennett?
That is what I told him.
It was my fault, just like I said in the report.
Seek to treat this witnessas hostile, your honor?
on what basis?
The witness has recantedhis entire sworn affidavit, your honor.
Mr.
Calderon,you realize that if you fail to tell the truth, you face perjury charges?
Is this your signature?
Right here under the line where it says, "signed under the painsand penalties of perjury"?
I never signed this page.
I don't knowwhere you got this at.
He got to them.
We still havenine more inmates call.
It's just gonna be more of the same.
So we find more evidencethe warden coerced them into changing their testimony.
Are you always this naive?
Okay, let's not panic...
not that I'm saying it's nota perfectly good time to, but we still have the mountainof files to go over.
Why don't you guyshead on back, all right?
I'll, uh,be there in a minute.
I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
Warden's got the upper hand, and he's not afraid to smackanybody around with it.
I'm not talkingabout the warden.
I'm talking about me,ten years ago.
It's a little latefor "I'm sorry."
I know.
I know, but...
I was young, and I thought- you thought I was guilty.
It was easy to do, what with the evidenceagainst you and your attitude.
You didn't make it easy.
That's some apology.
The point is that, um, I should havelooked past all that.
A guilty man deserves the sadefense as an innocent man.
That's my job...
and I didn't do it.
If I knew what kind of needleyou were looking for, maybe I could help youfind it in the haystack.
Something about somebodycalled daryl rhodes, and I have no idea who he is, so there's really no pointin both of us wasting our time.
It's not a waste when two setsof eyes are better than just-- just go home, okay?
Eli, what- - seriously, maggie,just get outta here.
I don't want you to cancelyour life for me.
Cancel my life?
I don't want to be the reasonyou and your boyfriend break up.
What the hellare you talking about?
Nothing.
I'm just--I'M...
I'm really tired,and, um...
maybe we don't need to spendquite so much alone time.
Okay.
Good night.
Good night.
Eli?
Eli!Eli!
could you yella little louder maybe?
You're still lookingfor daryl rhodes, right?
Unfortunately right.
Well...
I brought help.
boxes and boxesof documents, stacks of affidavitsfrom inmates which counsel can't seemto get the inmates to testify in support of.
Because they've been coerced.
Really?
Then why not produceevidence of that?
oh, thank god.
What was that, mr.
Stone?
Your honor, I'd liketo call another witness.
Would this be an actual witnessor more testimony by affidavit?
An actual witness--mr.
Daryl rhodes.
Mr.
Rhodes, would you stateyour occupation for the record?
U-until last march, I was administrative assistantto warden brown at the, uh, tipton baystate correctional facility.
Why'd you leave?
I got tired of not being ableto sleep through the night.
What was keeping you up,mr.
Rhodes?
Things in the prison-- uh, overcrowding, double celling, substandard living conditions, even for a prison.
And, uh, if an inmate evercomplained about any of that, the wardenould have metransfer him to another wing.
What's so wrong with that?
It was alwaysa part of the prison where hostile inmateswere housed-- uh...
a black inmate to, uh,aryan brotherhood territory, or a white inmate to wherethe latin disciples were.
And--and what--what would happenif the transferred inmate didn't get alongwith his new neighbors?
Well, to a man, they'd, uh,they'd end up in the infirmary.
Mr.
Rhodes, I've beenthrough every transfer, every record, every sheet of paperproduced to me by tipton bay.
I didn't find anything todocument what you're describing.
That's because there wasnever anything in writing.
The, uh, the warden wouldjust call me into his office, and, uh, I'd get it done.
And afterward,would the inmates ever complain about conditionsat the prison again?
No, sir.
Your honor...
your honor,there are no words to describe how violently opposedI am to this.
To call it a stuntwould be disservice to the word "stunt."
Miss bonilla madea very good point yesterday.
With legal rightscome legal responsibility, including the responsibilityto support one's case with personal stimony.
Which presumesthe witness can testify, which presumes the witness can speak.
Then what possible harmcould there be?
She's got you, ms.
Bonilla.
ms.
Wethersby,call your witness.
Thank you, your honor.
We call pete the chimp.
Wait.No.This is a joke.
Step back.
So what do we do now-- make him swear an oathon the bible?
I think we can presumetruthful testimony here.
Do you have any questions foryour witness, ms.
Wethersby?
Just two, your honor.
Look, pete!
It's steve.
pete, do you miss steve?
Pete, do you wantto see steve?
and it's another chimp.
Why not?
pete and stevehaven't seen each other since they've been separated.
I think it's pretty obvioushow genuine their affection for each other is.
The problem is, of course,pete and steve are just chimps.
And if I were to rulein your favor, I would be creatingnew law here, and my ruling wouldmost undoubtedly be laughed at and overturned in six months.
Mm, could even be a year...
during which time, pete and stevewould be togethe your honor, don't--don't--don't do that.
I rule in favorof the plaintiffs.
Separation of these chimpscauses undue harm under the eory of...
chimpanzee tort protection.
They made that up!
They made that up!
Something I'm sureyou'll point out in the appeal it'll take almost a month for you to draft and file.
I've been authorizedbyhe D.O.C.To make an offerto settle.
For starters,mr.
Mosely sees the inside of a parole hearing room,and pronto.
And then there's the matter of damages.
Give me a number.
How much would it cost to complywith the governor's prison crowding and recidivism initiatives?
Millions, I imagine.
Well, there you go.
we'll work outa number and get back to you.
Do we have a deal in principle?
You do, if the department of correctionsfires warden brown and promises not to employ him anywhere within the organization.
You're out of your mind.
That's not something I can do, mr.
Stone.
You can, and I'm gonnatell you why.
Everything we're talking about--the parole hearing for david mosely, the money for prison reform-- is meaningless if he's in chargeof so much as a paper clip.
He used tipton baylike aeapon, beating inmates with it.
His only involvementin the correctional system should be as an inmate-- which, by the way, is our next moveif he doesn't resign.
We drive daryl rhos down to the district attorney's office, where he swears out an affidavit against mr.
Brown.
So I guess this really is a question for you, sir-- are you gonna resign,or do I go get my car?
what doou think?
Nice.
I think I see a guyon a horse.
Congratulationson theipton bay settleme.
Thank you, and thanksfor supporting me.
I know I put you in an comfortable positionwith ms.
Klein.
Whatever position I y or may not be in with ms.
Klein, uncomfortable or not,it's none of your concern.
I'm hoping this isa personal acquisition, not forthe W.P.K.CollectioN.
Coratulationson your moral victory.
Thank you.
It's aost wortthe two computer compani and threedepartment store chains we lost due to our new"we heart criminals" reputation.
And that's regrettable.
Mm, we'll surviv the fact that david mosely wilbe staying put at tipton bay helps to contain the damag actually, the boardgranted david's parole.
True...
but the governor denied it.
Wh-- d you do that?
Only in thatI voted for him.
If you'd like to discussthis matter with me further, I've taken over 2 officesonhe 20th floor.
I'lle herefor the duration.
I don'know what to say.
There's nothing to say.
You know, I don't knowif I could do it...
take that kind of hitand keep going.
That's whavi brave'sall about.
I got another shotat parole next year and the year after that.
You came through, man.
bought you something. "
black's law dictionary."
Heard of it?
Yeah.
It's for lawyers.
And guys lookingto make parole.
I figure can make itdown here oncetwice a month we can go through it.
My own personal law school?
Oh, yeah.
It's, uh,somethin' like that.
Where do we start?
here.
Habeas corpus.
It's latin.
It means"to produce the body."
But legally, this isthe most important safeguard to all of our individual...
This reallyis chimp paradise.
They weren't kiddingwhen they named it.
Oh, they're gonnalove it here.
I can't believe the zooagreed to release them.
I know.
What some peoplewill do to avoid watching two monkeys get it on.
They're chimps.
it's time.
Someone wantsto say good-bye and thank you.
Wait till they see their bill.
bye, guys.
Have a good life.
Well, I'm gonna take 'em in.
Anyone want to see the habitat?
Oh, you know I'm coming.
Oh, I'll--I've gota great view from here.
you know, you act likeyou don't like chimps, but deep down,you kinda like us.
Do you know the restaurantle petit table?
Napa valley.
6-month waiting list.
Have to know bill gates toget in.
That le petit table?
If you can get us reservationsthere next saturday night, I'll have dinner with you.
You're sure you wouldn'tsettle for french fries?
All right.
Had to take a shot.
how are you still standing?
You've been here 36 hours.
I have no idea.
I heard about david.
Yeah.
You made a difference, eli.
The warden's gone.
The prison'salready turning around.
Yeah.
It's just...
I had a picturein my head, you know?
David was gonna get out and go on and dosome pretty amazing things.
We don't knowwhat's gonna happen, eli.
That's why they call itthe future.
hi, sweetie.
I'll take the next one.
I wouldn't be standing here right now if it weren't for the people whose lives touched mine years ago-- people like my very good friend eli stone...
the man whose words and deedsreminded us that there is no faithwithout hope, no justice without compassion, no humanity without fairness...
the man who reminded us that every one of us, the least of us, is still divine.
Ladies and gentlemen,I present to you the man we've all come hereto see tonight...
eli stone.
