Programa de TV: Eli Stone - 2x10
How's it going?
I've got a little bit of a headache actually Well shouldn't guys with aneurisms generally try to avoid headaches?
Only guys with brain aneurisms Yeah, you have a brain aneurism That's a good point Good morning, good morning I knew I should have taken the stairs Eli Eli Oh thank God, I was having a vision So, thank God you're only lying in the hospital recovering from uncontrollable bleeding Deep in seventies music The last thing I remember I was begging you not to hate me But bleeding from your nose it's a nice trump card You're that important to me You both are I've been a jerk And it's had some consecuences Your MRI revealed another aneurism, Eli A second aneurism Right in the base of your brain So how...
did this happen?
It's...
it's somewhat common actually And people with aneurisms have a twenty percent chance No I...
I was asking Frank All that Nurhachi and all those visits to Dr.
Lee may have caused this Nurhachi?
Wait, who, who, who is Dr.
Lee?
She's an acupuncturist What she does is not acupuncture But we're done with all that, right Eli?
Ok, alright, listen to this one Spoil yourself at our oasis in the desert because you deserve it I do deserve it Two nights stay includes a mud bath, a wormwill watsu massage and a craneal sacral spa treatment Ufff, sounds invasive!
Ugh, they're trained in Switzerland Matt!
How much?
For the last six weeks it's been all baby all the time Unless it's been all work all the time You know what?
So what if the little guy can't afford college?
We'll homeschool, do it!
I feel more relaxed already Huh!
The Russell vs.
Baywest Media settlement just fell apart.
This is huge I should get to the office Yeah, whatever Russell vs.
Baywest Media is, it better not interfere with our vacation Swiss massages, Matt!
Russell vs.
Baywest Media are delaying the settlement meeting.
Eli, thank you for joining us!
Feeling a little under the weather Nothing life threatening brain surgery won't cure I'm kidding Why are we stalling on the settlement?
I mean I just spent a month convincing Sam that he wasn't gonna prove wrongful termination without a whistle blower We may have found that whistle blower Sorry I'm late.
What I missed?
What's the point of calling an emergency staff meeting if the staff doesn't treat it like an emergency?
I said I was sorry We may have gotten a break on the Sam Russell case Sam Russell as in Russell vs.
Baywest Media?
You may have noticed that Russell lost his gig-anchoring evening news Well, that's kind of what the suit is about And this is going to trial this week That'll depend on what this witness has to say Her name is Jesse Bates, Russell's former news producer She's been MIA for months They've been banking on the idea that Russell wouldn't go to trial without a testimony And now that she's resurfaced so have Russell's courtroom ambitions Baywest wants you two to talk to her and find out if what anything she knows We'll set it on this afternoon, not a problem Little problem She resurfaced when her name popped up in a public record search She's, uh, warming the inside of a jail so as we speak What she do?
Ask her yourself when you see her tomorrow The two of you leave for Sonoma in the morning Uh...
Sonoma?
Uh...
sorry, no.
I've got getaway plans starting tomorrow Cancel it And even if I didn't not a big fan of Sonoma You don't want to go to Sonoma Matt?
That's fine.
I'll tell you what, we'll just wait for Russell's attorneys to go up there, speak with her And we'll find out from them It's a race to Sonoma Worst triada show ever I was uh...
wondering if you got my messages And your emails I'm not going to the zoo benefit with you I mean, you didn't really think I would did you?
We're a new firm Taylor It's important that we establish a presence in events like this one And since Ellen and I I need a date and I thought we could talk Dad, I'm not ready to talk, I told you I need time Um, I was just sending you an email, but since you're here I want in on the Russell case A newfound appreciation for employment law?
A newfound appreciation for Sonoma Valley Matt and I were planning a getaway and I'm getting away Uh, I'm sure Eli could use the help What help could Eli use?
I'm going to Sonoma with you Great!
I'll pick you up at your place 7.30 am, sharp And sharp means sharp Eli If you're not standing out front I will leave without you Road trip!
We're all going together, yeah!
You don't get car-sick, do you?
Taylor!
We're going to the same place looking for the same person We're going together, It makes sense Only if you ignore the fact that we are trying to beat them Come on, we're saving gas Think about the world for a change You're oposing counsel!
Taylor tell me you understand that there is an advantage in getting to the witness first If this witness has anything important to say You're gonna have to disclose it anyway In other words, if you don't get in this car the next thirty seconds I will leave you in the dust She means it dude.
Do not understimate the fury of a woman denied a romantic getaway with me Hey!
Sorry I'm late!
And the band's back together Shotguns!
Wish I had one Shotgun, Eli, you're in the back, let's start!
Wh...
I brought gorp!
In the back!
This is crazy!
That's what I said but I was overruled Clock's ticking Eli!
You coming or not?
I hope that we could find a very romantic B and B outside of Sonoma Like Napa, Santa Rosa Mexico Alright.
What is the deal with you and Sonoma?
Nothing!
Nothing!
It's gonna be great Very relaxing OK, we're gonna need some ground rules here Travelling together is one thing But once we hit Sonoma each team is on their own No collaborating with the enemy Fine, as long as a couple's massage doesn't count as collaboration You know I never thought I'd say this but would you pass the gorp Not until you apologize Excuse me?
You accused me of sabotaging your relationship with other women OK, first of all it was just one woman In my defense I didn't realize that doing so would deprive me of gorp You're right.
I apologize.
It turns out I was able to sabotage everything else by myself Eat your gorp So how's life, brother?
Boy have never make appoinment Jin See you next Tuesday What was that going on with Eli yesterday?
You're the one with the real medical degree, dude If you don't know then we're in real trouble Na, na, na...
you know what I'm talking about What did Eli mean whe he said that you saw this coming?
It's not important Nate Well it seemed pretty important to Eli And even if it wasn't you can bet that my brother seeing another doctor is gonna get my attention Dr.
Lee?
Dr.
Lee used to be a decent acupuncturist It's been a bone of contemption between us But it's between us Alright, alright, I can respect that Thank you If I just...
I wonder how Eli is gonna react when he finds out that you kept a copy of my dad's journal And you didn't tell him If you tell Eli about the book You'd be hurting him more than me And I don't think you'd do that Nate You know you're not fooling anybody with that phony accent!
And you are staying in our Merlot Suite All the rooms are named after wines I just need a deposit from you and Mr.
Dunlevy Dunlevy?
Stanislas Dunlevy?
That's my travel name Bono does the same thing Thanks Why are you holding the car keys?
Taylor asked me to No she didn't, you just took them You're gonna ditch us, aren't you?
Someone's a little paranoid Would you tell me the way to the Sheriff's station, please?
Oh, yes sir.
The Sheriff's station's in the town plaza Right down first street.
You can't miss it Thank you Where are you going?
Sheriff's station While our eyewitness is being held with you I'm sorry, the violation of professional ethics forbid to drive opposing counsel in my car It's not your car Well, for the time being, they're my keys So...
She's gonna need the number of a taxi service Guess I wasn't so paranoid after all You know you seem tense lately, maybe water yoga is exactly what you need I should go talk to this witness and get the hell out of...
Hey look antiques, you see this?
Matt?
Matt Doud?
It is you!
What's it been?
Ten years?
Uh, Lee Rappaport, Taylor Wethersby Hi, nice to meet you Uh, Lee and I went to law school together Oh, went to law school together?
Is that how we're framing it?
Oh, we did!
Oh, we did it What are you doing in Sonoma?
Awkward business trip, you know, in and out Um, listen I have to get back to work but it's been nice seeing you again Alright Lee So she's the reason you've been so afraid to step foot in Sonoma Yeah I know, it's crazy, right?
I mean she seemed perfectly happy with everything, with me Huh?
Why wouldn't she be?
You know, um, when two people break up, you know, nobody did anything wrong You know, there are some other hard feelings I feel so relieved I love Sonoma Jesse Bates?
Are you her lawyer?
Is she here?
I asked you first Don't let him in!
He stole a car!
Well that would be a different form Maggie Decker, attorney It's not even her car So whose car did you steal?
I didn't steal anyone's car We had an agreement, Eli No we didn't It was an implied covenant Here they are and they're arguing You owe me five bucks Did he or did he not steal a car?
You mean my car?
No, I gave him the car Um, sir, I'm an attorney So am I Me too You know what?
I just lost interest Someone wanna put Jesse Bates in the visitors' room before I shoot the whole gaggle of lawyers?
I hope no one in the bay area needs a lawyer this afternoon Just for the record, you are the Jesse Bates who assigned Russell's news producer when KNIB fired him No, but she was when Sam Russell quit Ms.
Bates, without a supena you're under no obligation to talk to him Nice try!
Since we represent Baywest Media I'd be happy to extend our services to you as a former employee What makes you think I need an attorney?
Other than the handcuffs and the jail, I mean What are you doing in here?
After live television I came up here Started over, I opened an art gallery Two weeks ago, a local couple asked me to sell a painting for them A Miro And that's illegal now?
It is when it was stolen by the Nazis 75 years ago Even if it was why would that line you in jail?
It didn't.
I think it was my refusal to returning the painting to the sellers that got me in trouble Where's the painting now?
It turns out that the police are having a little difficulty locating it This is fascinating but it's a little off the topic Actually counselors, is sitting right on the topic Any attorney is good enough to represent the likes of Sam Russell And Baywest Media have got to be better than whatever public defender in a little land like Sonoma has to offer No, wh...
what...
I think it would be a conflict of interest for us to represent you Look, I think you'll find that I've got a case of amnesia for as long as I'm incarcerated You find out what I know?
You get me out of jail I think the four of you can get along long enough to do that Very simple; we can get her kicked in a fourth ammendment violation, she's being detained Woa, woa, woa, woa...
- and we have her out by noon!
She's being held on a civil contempt charge She didn't comply with the judge's order A judge she hasn't seen in over 48 hours!
Fourth ammendment!
So what you're saying is, you're just as wrong as Matt?
You wanna repeat that?
Maybe try to be even more condescending Together again just like old times!
Who is in charge here anyway?
I am - I am Son of a bitch!
That was the spa.
They're closed till the end of the week!
Sorry honey Uhh...
what i missed?
Eli trying to come up with different ways to keep our client in prison for the rest of her life Oh, I just thought of a new one!
You try the case yourself!
As terrifying as that prospect is we do need a first chair and since I seem to have the foremost grip on the issues here If you'd bothered to...
Why don't we just compare recent track records?
- to know that our client actually had to report with me Wins, losses Rock, paper, scissors The three of you!
Rock, paper, scissors for lead counsel On three Rock, paper, scissors, shoo!
Admit it Eli!
I am undefeated in Rock, Paper, Scissors You'd think with a name like Stone you'd play Rock more often What's the deal Jesse?
You found a coupon?
Four lawyers for the price of one?
All rise!
Lee?
Judge Rappaport Be seated Donnie, I want you to be aware of my prior relationship with counsel We went to Law school together Not a problem You stoop the judge?
She wasn't a judge then Case S.C.R.
392 Jesse Bates have been charged with theft by conversion She's being held in civil contempt for refusing to turn over property I'd like to hear motions We move to dismiss.
That complaint is defective as it does not alleged taking An point of fact, the painting was given to Ms.
Bates and therefore cons...
Denied Conversion doesn't require a taking It's criminal law 101 Although if I remember correctly the only reason you passed that class is because you copied my outline That's uh...
stretching the truth of it, but Move to dismiss on grounds that complainants are not the actual owners of the painting Denied!
Four of you and that's the best you can come up with?
Is that all you have?
Don't worry.
We've got a lot more I'm afraid that's it your honor In that case let's move forward to the preliminary hearing to determine the painting's true ownership Ms.
Bates will remain in custody I trust everyone will be ready to call witnesses this afternoon What did you do to that woman?
Um, can I ask you a question?
I've heard about a couple of different types of acupuncturists Some who do a traditional acupuncture And, uh, then there are some who do a kind of darker acupuncture Nurhachi?
Nurhachi?
Your name came up And a Dr.
Chen Alright Nate Session's over What?
I didn't tell you my name!
Let's just say...
you don't have the aura for deception And your brother talks about you a lot No plus one Jordan Wethersby...
alone Plus none Yes I know I RSVP'd for two but Uh...
hold on Lucille, could you please pick up?
Yes Sir Everything alright?
Apparently, it now requires an act of congress to attend a charity event by oneself But you came to see me How can I help you?
Well...
I've been spending the last couple of days making amends Is part of my program I make a list of all the people I've harmed and I apologize to them Well that must be a pretty long list Oh, watch it!
Let me make this easy You have done nothing To make amends for I treated you terrible You did not Behind your back When you almost lost Don Kettner's business For two months he simply stopped returning my calls No, he didn't I didn't put him through It was like when you'd show up at Positano and there was never table for you You never made the reservation I couldn't stand you knowing my secret, I, I wanted to punish you Can you forgive me?
That depends What are you doing tonight?
It's a Philipe Perrot.
The painting's been in my family over 60 years It wasn't an easy decision but we were gonna sell that to pay for the twin's college tuition We brought it to Ms.
Bates, have it apraised...
Which would be when she stole it?
Objection, counsel is testifying Nah, I didn't think so Overruled Really?
Um, I understand your grandfather bought this painting in Paris?
Yes, he was stationed in France during world war II He bought it as an engagement gift for my grandmother Uh, do you know the date of purchase?
Grandma was a pack rat, they had the receipt It's from the Gallery Rue Saint Germaine, December 1944 Are you aware that the art lost register has catalogued at least four thousand pieces of art stolen from jewish owners during the holocaust And that any painting purchased in Europe from 1933 to 1945 is suspect?
Objection Sustained You haven't even heard his ground Sustained.
Are you enjoying Sonoma Matt?
Uh...
are you aware that the Gallery Rue Saint Germaine was a known clearing house for artwork stolen from jewish families?
Objection.
Is this a courtroom or a history class?
That's just a fauxy made up objection Move on Matt.
I know from experience you know how to do that Your honor, is it possible you're allowing this to get personal?
Oh God!
Maybe considering our history.
You might want to...
Our history?
You mean like how I waited for you for six hours at an airport after graduation?
What?
We had a romantic jamaican vacation planned Thought I was getting a ring!
Instead he never showed up, never called Three months later he emailed He sent an email!
Saying sorry, I joined the FBI.
Oh!
How are things working at the bureau anyway, Matt?
That I can explain You know what please?
I don't wanna hear another word out of you I'm first chair Not anymore.
I'm holding you in contempt Actually I've been doing that for the last ten years, I'm just making it legal Bailiff, take him Ok.
Who saw that coming?
Rock, paper, scissors, go!
Paper covers rock, I belive that that would make me new first chair Ugh!
I suck at this game!
This is unbelievable I swear she put him in jail just to ruin my getaway!
Taylor, she doesn't even know you Clearly she knows Matt Can we get back to business?
Absolutely.
Back to business.
After I get snacks You OK?
Is this case giving you a headache?
No, I brought it with me from San Francisco Anyway, the owner's testimony hurt us Alleged owner The painting's not really his, remember?
Which is why we need the original owner so we can establish initial posession And their testimony would be very compelling since, you know, they're dead Any relatives?
One, a grandaughter.
Katie Buckner But according to her neighbor she's vacationing in Fiji So we stall until she gets back Putting Jesse on the stand?
Yeah Do you have any idea how we can distinguish Orcan vs.
Taylor?
Taylor's gonna sue that spa now?
Orcan vs.
Taylor!
Come on, the controlling precedent in California?
Even if we prove the painting was stolen by Nazis Orcan says the new owners don't have to return it There's a statute to limitations forge recovery Ok, new strategy Hope the DA Barney Fife is not as good a lawyer as you are In my old life I worked in TV journalism I once produced a piece about stolen Nazi art And I pretty much memorized the whole art loss registry So, when I sat down to apraise this painting I realized I was looking at Miro's Lady with Locket Stolen from the Buckner's a jewish family who had fled the Nazi Germany in 1933 Objection!
I don't see any Buckner's in this room Overruled The only surviving family member is the grandaughter and we haven't been able to reach her Eric Danver's family paid for this painting, they have the receipt And I'm sure they didn't know they were buying stolen property It's your witness Just so I'm clear Eric Danvers didn't steal this painting, his family didn't steal this painting And to your knowledge even the dealer they bought it from didn't steal this painting Is there a question?
Or even a point?
My question and my point is, how many years back do we go to rectify past and justices?
Should we get Manhattan back to the indians?
Your honor!
Can you even prove that this is the Buckner's missing painting?
It's described in the registry Described?
Is there a photo?
No...
but...
You said the painting is called Lady with Locket?
Do you know how many ladies Miro painted?
Your honor!
Uh, yes Lawyer number 4 With all due respect what kind of court are you running here?
Taylor You're cross examining witnesses, you threw our co-counsel in jail because he broke up with you!
Unless you wanna join him dial it back, counsel Not if you recuse yourself from this case, you're the one who has to make peace with the past Hi honey!
How was work?
Patty!
You look lovely!
Don't look so surprised!
This isn't surprised.
This is happy to see a friendly face who's looking at me with something other than pity I almost called and said I couldn't make it I almost left the exact same message Then I thought about how I stayed in the house six months After feeling I sprayed up just feeling sorry for myself Until my daughter Angela kicked my ass out the door Told me don't come home until you have some fun It's a zoo benefit, I'm not sure fun is in the evening agenda What's important is you're out and besides, you brought the fun with you Jordan!
Ellen!
You're here!
I thought you said you wouldn't be attending I said I wouldn't be attending with you That's a lovely dress Patty Thank you Ellen You look particularly well-preserved tonight Sweetie, we're at table 10 Jordan!
Jeff!
Give me a minute.
Ellen!
You could have given him a heads up Oh, I know I could have We have a long list of nicknames in the office for you, so sorry to see you earning everyone of them Are you alright?
Uh, I know I promised you dinner but Would you be terribly crushed if we find it elsewhere?
Oh, of course not Thank you Don't reject this trade off What if Taylor was right when she asked the judge to recuse herself?
We could file to have her removed Then we're stuck here at least another week Well...
there are worst places to be stuck More wine?
I think you finished it all Not by myself I didn't Speaking of you, you were really good today I forgot what it's like to be on your side of the isle Well let me remind you we usually ended up fighting Then let me remind you that you were always the one who started it Are you kidding?
First time I met you you were interviewing for a job at the firm And you accused me of being a *** drunk who sold out his principles for seven figures and a car I did, and you were Yeah But that wasn't the first time you met me Excuse me?
Oh God!
I didn't mean to...
We, we met at law school How much did you drink?
We didn't go to law school together Not even at the same time University of Chicago, 5 years ago I was uh, second year and I tagged along with my roommate to this summer social recruitment dinner Where a very slick, very shallow, very smart attorney from WPK in San Francisco spoke I remember, you were there?
Yeah Did we talk?
No, not at the dinner But afterwards...
At the karaoke bar?
You were the girl I wouldn't get off the stage!
Lawschool Maggie loved the karaoke And by the way, I did get off the stage when I tried to get you to sing!
I, uh...
you remember what I sang?
Some George MIchael song?
Uh!
Yeah!
And yeah, I'm fairly certain that's why he didn't tour in America for five years In fact, let's see if you've got any better the last five years Oh, come on!
Everybody know the words Red red wine you make me feel so fine You keep me rocking all of the time I've actually had this fantasy You, me, prison But there are more hot captive women And maybe a steamy group shower Yeah, that's exactly the romantic getaway I've been dreaming of too I should probably explain about Lee, huh?
I knew who you were when I got involved with you that's why they call it the past, Matt Did you just quote Charlie Sheen?
I can live with your baggage just as long as you don't try to unpack it Wow!
Ok and right back at you Excuse me?
Taylor, we drove up here with your baggage eating gorp in the backseat He's your ex-fiance, the love of your life and I have to watch you go off every morning Knowing you're gonna spend 10, 12 hours with him Pfff, I never...
you're right About all of it, except the part about Eli being the love of my life I tought he was but...
I was wrong And that position has yet to be filled You're taking applications?
Absolutely Wait wait wait What are we doing?
You had a lot to drink Well that's just enough We both have Just, I don't wanna mess things up You know?
Things are gonne get messed up whether we want them to or not Look, I don't need you protecting me Just tell me this Where do you wanna be right now?
Here You do realize I have a phone I left you messages, never called me back That's because we've already had this conversation I can't tell Eli about the book Then tell me I spoke with Dr.
Lee She told me about Nurhachi About a kind of acupuncture that literally causes physiological damage And that you practiced it Only twice On Eli?
Once with Eli And the other time?
Come on Frank Whatever it is you can tell me I mean, we're, we're practically family here That's ironic The other time I performed the Nurhachi technique I did it on your father It was more than 10 years ago back when I was working for him in his TV shop Your dad was in pretty bad shape with the visions he was having So all the more reason not...
Told me he hadn't slept in a week There were these voices in his head, images, it was plaguing him Nate He was as close to a complete break as...
I'd ever seen in anyone I, I was young and naive enough to think that the cure couldn't possibly be worse than the desease Did it help?
I thought so, you know?
At first It gave him relieve, allowed him to see whatever he needed to see But...
Something happened He, he died less than a week later Thank you When you said you were taking me to dinner I assumed there'd be table cloths You are about to feast on the best cheeseburguer in San Francisco.
Possibly the Western Seaboard Why didn't you say something to her?
Parading her date in front of you like that Why are you letting this woman walk all over you?
I'm not letting her walk all over me The divorce, the way she treated you tonight, you're living in a hotel fot god sakes!
There are worst places to do one's penance You lost me I cheated on Taylor's mother with Ellen for months Lying to her face about it Well then make it up to Susan, not Ellen And when Susan finally found out, when my lies stopped working I tried to convince her that it was her fault If she'd been a better wife, a better mother, a better person I never would've strayed What's happened with Ellen is...
just my poultry coming home to roost What a load of crap!
Well, no need to be bashful Patty, please!
Speak you mind Do you remember what I'm doing here tonight?
Why I agreed to come here with you?
You were making amends Maybe it's time you did the same Eli?
Hey!
Hi Hey Are you pretending to be asleep just now?
What?
No I was...
um, maybe, I don't know what I was thinking Yeah, like last night, right?
Exactly Except I was kidding Yeah, me too, I'm kidding Eli Hey, no!
Look, last night was great but I don't think I've been completely honest with you About myself.
I was in the hospital over the weekend Are you ok?
Yeah, well no...
um...
I was bleeding and they found a second aneurism Oh...
oh...
I just haven't given myself any time to think about that So I was so happy to get out of town, you know?
Change of scenery And then last night Tell me you're not about to use your aneurism to justify what happened last night No!
You're missing the point Maggie Decker You're kidding!
Well that's terrific!
Um, yeah we'll see you in court We have our witness Katie Buckner the grandaughter just flew into town an hour ago We got her?
That's great!
Can...
can we just talk about this?
That we just did Look, why don't you pretend to be asleep again so I can get dressed?
My grandparents got separated while escaping Nazi Germany My grandfather got out with my mother My grandmother, she didn't make it After the war my grandfather went back to try to find her She was gone, and everything we owned, including the painting, had be stolen So, just to be clear, you've never actually seen this painting Never Would you like to?
Oh my God!
Well, it's beautiful!
My mother, she used to talk about this painting all the time The stories my grandfather told her about it When did your grandfather stopped looking for the painting Never.
He never stopped.
He didn't care about Miro or what the painting was worth, to him it was priceless To him, it was a piece of her Emotion aside Your Honor, this isn't evidence Look at Katie and look at the woman in the painting They're practically identical I'm sorry I'm not familiar with the legal look-alike test Katie, show the judge your necklace My grandmother gave this to my mom in Germany and my mom gave it to me Your Honor at this time I would like to move to dismiss And I would very much like to grant your motion counsel, but Last night I came across a little precedent called Orcan vs.
Taylor...
heard of it?
Under the 9th circuit ruling An allegedly rightful owner has to file within 3 years We're not bound by this decision, Your Honor...
An after case holds estatute of limitations ...weren't triggered until I don't think I want it Katie, this belongs to your family My family is dead Mr.
Stone And this painting can't bring them back If you want to sell the painting Mr.
Danvers, I'm OK with it All I ask is that you sell it to a museum so that people can see it and hear the story And so that I can visit it once in a while OK Bonnie and Clyde, wake up Great accommodations One complaint!
The mattresses are a little stiff Thank you It's possible I may have let myself get a little carried away It's possible What?
Matt has something he wants to say to you I'm sorry I wasn't the guy you deserved me to be and it was easier for me to lie to you Than admit that It's been ten years...
I think this statute of limitations has long since run Not exactly the result we were going for We were out to prove the painting's source With that comes the right to decide what to do with it With those kind of principles I'm really looking forward to hearing what you have to say in the Russell case Something really whistler-blowery would be nice Maggie didn't tell you Maggie?
I don't have anything to say, Mr.
Stone All the decisions about the hiring and firing of an on-air reporter like Sam they happened over my head However, that doesn't mean that I didn't care about what happened to Sam And it doesn't mean that I didn't leave Baywest Media with a whole mess of emails, memos, documents I never had the heart to read them but, it wouldn't surprised me if that there were some fairly useful things in there Useful to who?
You're the lawyer Jessie, I would very much like to see those documents No problem, I already gave Maggie the combination to my storage unit So Maggie has everything She came to see me this morning Said she had to get back early, you guys work together, right?
Not so much, no Oh, I'm sorry, I just thought...
You seemed like a good team Malcolm X, Sol Yunitzen , Mandela, what do they have in common?
Wait, let me guess, posters I had up on my college dorm?
They've all done hard time in prison Just like us We're in that club now Who'd knew a night behind bars was all we needed?
Come on Maggie, it's me again, pick up Hey, what you guys do last night anyway?
Nothing, we worked on the case Why?
Generally I have to sleep with a woman to get her to flee town so fast Try her again Yes, Golden, Colorado, the number for Susan Bransford This is Maggie, leave a message OK, this is like the fifth message I've left, Maggie so, um There's not gonna be another one That's a lie, there will be another one And then there'll be one after that And one after that So...
That better be you And it's not you.
Uh, just please call me back Since when do you two hang out together?
This makes me worried You need to hear this Frank I kept a copy of you father's journal So, uh, so last month when I, when I asked you what was in the book, when I...
begged you Eli You looked me right in the eye and you told me it was gone He was trying to protect you Oh, yeah?
Wai...
you knew?
Yes And you didn't tell me?
So what, you were trying to...
OK you were trying to protect me too Alright, OK, protect me from what?
I knew if I told you about the book it'd the more reason for you to ask me to show you the dark truth Perform the Nurhachi Maybe!
But that would've been my decision Frank!
Yeah, if I wanna roll the dice on a second aneurism or third or fourth Yeah, it's your choice, it's your life, you're right Eli Thank you But if you're gonna make that kind of choice then you need to know the truth All of it What truth?
I performed the Nurhachi once before On your father When I warned you it was dangerous...
I was speaking from experience So, wh..
what...
The week after I did the Nurhachi on your dad he He had his heartattack I'm so sorry Eli, I, I didn't know That's how dangerous this is, Eli That's why you have to stop Just get out What?
I can't even look at you guys right now, just...
just go!
Eli I said get out
I've got a little bit of a headache actually Well shouldn't guys with aneurisms generally try to avoid headaches?
Only guys with brain aneurisms Yeah, you have a brain aneurism That's a good point Good morning, good morning I knew I should have taken the stairs Eli Eli Oh thank God, I was having a vision So, thank God you're only lying in the hospital recovering from uncontrollable bleeding Deep in seventies music The last thing I remember I was begging you not to hate me But bleeding from your nose it's a nice trump card You're that important to me You both are I've been a jerk And it's had some consecuences Your MRI revealed another aneurism, Eli A second aneurism Right in the base of your brain So how...
did this happen?
It's...
it's somewhat common actually And people with aneurisms have a twenty percent chance No I...
I was asking Frank All that Nurhachi and all those visits to Dr.
Lee may have caused this Nurhachi?
Wait, who, who, who is Dr.
Lee?
She's an acupuncturist What she does is not acupuncture But we're done with all that, right Eli?
Ok, alright, listen to this one Spoil yourself at our oasis in the desert because you deserve it I do deserve it Two nights stay includes a mud bath, a wormwill watsu massage and a craneal sacral spa treatment Ufff, sounds invasive!
Ugh, they're trained in Switzerland Matt!
How much?
For the last six weeks it's been all baby all the time Unless it's been all work all the time You know what?
So what if the little guy can't afford college?
We'll homeschool, do it!
I feel more relaxed already Huh!
The Russell vs.
Baywest Media settlement just fell apart.
This is huge I should get to the office Yeah, whatever Russell vs.
Baywest Media is, it better not interfere with our vacation Swiss massages, Matt!
Russell vs.
Baywest Media are delaying the settlement meeting.
Eli, thank you for joining us!
Feeling a little under the weather Nothing life threatening brain surgery won't cure I'm kidding Why are we stalling on the settlement?
I mean I just spent a month convincing Sam that he wasn't gonna prove wrongful termination without a whistle blower We may have found that whistle blower Sorry I'm late.
What I missed?
What's the point of calling an emergency staff meeting if the staff doesn't treat it like an emergency?
I said I was sorry We may have gotten a break on the Sam Russell case Sam Russell as in Russell vs.
Baywest Media?
You may have noticed that Russell lost his gig-anchoring evening news Well, that's kind of what the suit is about And this is going to trial this week That'll depend on what this witness has to say Her name is Jesse Bates, Russell's former news producer She's been MIA for months They've been banking on the idea that Russell wouldn't go to trial without a testimony And now that she's resurfaced so have Russell's courtroom ambitions Baywest wants you two to talk to her and find out if what anything she knows We'll set it on this afternoon, not a problem Little problem She resurfaced when her name popped up in a public record search She's, uh, warming the inside of a jail so as we speak What she do?
Ask her yourself when you see her tomorrow The two of you leave for Sonoma in the morning Uh...
Sonoma?
Uh...
sorry, no.
I've got getaway plans starting tomorrow Cancel it And even if I didn't not a big fan of Sonoma You don't want to go to Sonoma Matt?
That's fine.
I'll tell you what, we'll just wait for Russell's attorneys to go up there, speak with her And we'll find out from them It's a race to Sonoma Worst triada show ever I was uh...
wondering if you got my messages And your emails I'm not going to the zoo benefit with you I mean, you didn't really think I would did you?
We're a new firm Taylor It's important that we establish a presence in events like this one And since Ellen and I I need a date and I thought we could talk Dad, I'm not ready to talk, I told you I need time Um, I was just sending you an email, but since you're here I want in on the Russell case A newfound appreciation for employment law?
A newfound appreciation for Sonoma Valley Matt and I were planning a getaway and I'm getting away Uh, I'm sure Eli could use the help What help could Eli use?
I'm going to Sonoma with you Great!
I'll pick you up at your place 7.30 am, sharp And sharp means sharp Eli If you're not standing out front I will leave without you Road trip!
We're all going together, yeah!
You don't get car-sick, do you?
Taylor!
We're going to the same place looking for the same person We're going together, It makes sense Only if you ignore the fact that we are trying to beat them Come on, we're saving gas Think about the world for a change You're oposing counsel!
Taylor tell me you understand that there is an advantage in getting to the witness first If this witness has anything important to say You're gonna have to disclose it anyway In other words, if you don't get in this car the next thirty seconds I will leave you in the dust She means it dude.
Do not understimate the fury of a woman denied a romantic getaway with me Hey!
Sorry I'm late!
And the band's back together Shotguns!
Wish I had one Shotgun, Eli, you're in the back, let's start!
Wh...
I brought gorp!
In the back!
This is crazy!
That's what I said but I was overruled Clock's ticking Eli!
You coming or not?
I hope that we could find a very romantic B and B outside of Sonoma Like Napa, Santa Rosa Mexico Alright.
What is the deal with you and Sonoma?
Nothing!
Nothing!
It's gonna be great Very relaxing OK, we're gonna need some ground rules here Travelling together is one thing But once we hit Sonoma each team is on their own No collaborating with the enemy Fine, as long as a couple's massage doesn't count as collaboration You know I never thought I'd say this but would you pass the gorp Not until you apologize Excuse me?
You accused me of sabotaging your relationship with other women OK, first of all it was just one woman In my defense I didn't realize that doing so would deprive me of gorp You're right.
I apologize.
It turns out I was able to sabotage everything else by myself Eat your gorp So how's life, brother?
Boy have never make appoinment Jin See you next Tuesday What was that going on with Eli yesterday?
You're the one with the real medical degree, dude If you don't know then we're in real trouble Na, na, na...
you know what I'm talking about What did Eli mean whe he said that you saw this coming?
It's not important Nate Well it seemed pretty important to Eli And even if it wasn't you can bet that my brother seeing another doctor is gonna get my attention Dr.
Lee?
Dr.
Lee used to be a decent acupuncturist It's been a bone of contemption between us But it's between us Alright, alright, I can respect that Thank you If I just...
I wonder how Eli is gonna react when he finds out that you kept a copy of my dad's journal And you didn't tell him If you tell Eli about the book You'd be hurting him more than me And I don't think you'd do that Nate You know you're not fooling anybody with that phony accent!
And you are staying in our Merlot Suite All the rooms are named after wines I just need a deposit from you and Mr.
Dunlevy Dunlevy?
Stanislas Dunlevy?
That's my travel name Bono does the same thing Thanks Why are you holding the car keys?
Taylor asked me to No she didn't, you just took them You're gonna ditch us, aren't you?
Someone's a little paranoid Would you tell me the way to the Sheriff's station, please?
Oh, yes sir.
The Sheriff's station's in the town plaza Right down first street.
You can't miss it Thank you Where are you going?
Sheriff's station While our eyewitness is being held with you I'm sorry, the violation of professional ethics forbid to drive opposing counsel in my car It's not your car Well, for the time being, they're my keys So...
She's gonna need the number of a taxi service Guess I wasn't so paranoid after all You know you seem tense lately, maybe water yoga is exactly what you need I should go talk to this witness and get the hell out of...
Hey look antiques, you see this?
Matt?
Matt Doud?
It is you!
What's it been?
Ten years?
Uh, Lee Rappaport, Taylor Wethersby Hi, nice to meet you Uh, Lee and I went to law school together Oh, went to law school together?
Is that how we're framing it?
Oh, we did!
Oh, we did it What are you doing in Sonoma?
Awkward business trip, you know, in and out Um, listen I have to get back to work but it's been nice seeing you again Alright Lee So she's the reason you've been so afraid to step foot in Sonoma Yeah I know, it's crazy, right?
I mean she seemed perfectly happy with everything, with me Huh?
Why wouldn't she be?
You know, um, when two people break up, you know, nobody did anything wrong You know, there are some other hard feelings I feel so relieved I love Sonoma Jesse Bates?
Are you her lawyer?
Is she here?
I asked you first Don't let him in!
He stole a car!
Well that would be a different form Maggie Decker, attorney It's not even her car So whose car did you steal?
I didn't steal anyone's car We had an agreement, Eli No we didn't It was an implied covenant Here they are and they're arguing You owe me five bucks Did he or did he not steal a car?
You mean my car?
No, I gave him the car Um, sir, I'm an attorney So am I Me too You know what?
I just lost interest Someone wanna put Jesse Bates in the visitors' room before I shoot the whole gaggle of lawyers?
I hope no one in the bay area needs a lawyer this afternoon Just for the record, you are the Jesse Bates who assigned Russell's news producer when KNIB fired him No, but she was when Sam Russell quit Ms.
Bates, without a supena you're under no obligation to talk to him Nice try!
Since we represent Baywest Media I'd be happy to extend our services to you as a former employee What makes you think I need an attorney?
Other than the handcuffs and the jail, I mean What are you doing in here?
After live television I came up here Started over, I opened an art gallery Two weeks ago, a local couple asked me to sell a painting for them A Miro And that's illegal now?
It is when it was stolen by the Nazis 75 years ago Even if it was why would that line you in jail?
It didn't.
I think it was my refusal to returning the painting to the sellers that got me in trouble Where's the painting now?
It turns out that the police are having a little difficulty locating it This is fascinating but it's a little off the topic Actually counselors, is sitting right on the topic Any attorney is good enough to represent the likes of Sam Russell And Baywest Media have got to be better than whatever public defender in a little land like Sonoma has to offer No, wh...
what...
I think it would be a conflict of interest for us to represent you Look, I think you'll find that I've got a case of amnesia for as long as I'm incarcerated You find out what I know?
You get me out of jail I think the four of you can get along long enough to do that Very simple; we can get her kicked in a fourth ammendment violation, she's being detained Woa, woa, woa, woa...
- and we have her out by noon!
She's being held on a civil contempt charge She didn't comply with the judge's order A judge she hasn't seen in over 48 hours!
Fourth ammendment!
So what you're saying is, you're just as wrong as Matt?
You wanna repeat that?
Maybe try to be even more condescending Together again just like old times!
Who is in charge here anyway?
I am - I am Son of a bitch!
That was the spa.
They're closed till the end of the week!
Sorry honey Uhh...
what i missed?
Eli trying to come up with different ways to keep our client in prison for the rest of her life Oh, I just thought of a new one!
You try the case yourself!
As terrifying as that prospect is we do need a first chair and since I seem to have the foremost grip on the issues here If you'd bothered to...
Why don't we just compare recent track records?
- to know that our client actually had to report with me Wins, losses Rock, paper, scissors The three of you!
Rock, paper, scissors for lead counsel On three Rock, paper, scissors, shoo!
Admit it Eli!
I am undefeated in Rock, Paper, Scissors You'd think with a name like Stone you'd play Rock more often What's the deal Jesse?
You found a coupon?
Four lawyers for the price of one?
All rise!
Lee?
Judge Rappaport Be seated Donnie, I want you to be aware of my prior relationship with counsel We went to Law school together Not a problem You stoop the judge?
She wasn't a judge then Case S.C.R.
392 Jesse Bates have been charged with theft by conversion She's being held in civil contempt for refusing to turn over property I'd like to hear motions We move to dismiss.
That complaint is defective as it does not alleged taking An point of fact, the painting was given to Ms.
Bates and therefore cons...
Denied Conversion doesn't require a taking It's criminal law 101 Although if I remember correctly the only reason you passed that class is because you copied my outline That's uh...
stretching the truth of it, but Move to dismiss on grounds that complainants are not the actual owners of the painting Denied!
Four of you and that's the best you can come up with?
Is that all you have?
Don't worry.
We've got a lot more I'm afraid that's it your honor In that case let's move forward to the preliminary hearing to determine the painting's true ownership Ms.
Bates will remain in custody I trust everyone will be ready to call witnesses this afternoon What did you do to that woman?
Um, can I ask you a question?
I've heard about a couple of different types of acupuncturists Some who do a traditional acupuncture And, uh, then there are some who do a kind of darker acupuncture Nurhachi?
Nurhachi?
Your name came up And a Dr.
Chen Alright Nate Session's over What?
I didn't tell you my name!
Let's just say...
you don't have the aura for deception And your brother talks about you a lot No plus one Jordan Wethersby...
alone Plus none Yes I know I RSVP'd for two but Uh...
hold on Lucille, could you please pick up?
Yes Sir Everything alright?
Apparently, it now requires an act of congress to attend a charity event by oneself But you came to see me How can I help you?
Well...
I've been spending the last couple of days making amends Is part of my program I make a list of all the people I've harmed and I apologize to them Well that must be a pretty long list Oh, watch it!
Let me make this easy You have done nothing To make amends for I treated you terrible You did not Behind your back When you almost lost Don Kettner's business For two months he simply stopped returning my calls No, he didn't I didn't put him through It was like when you'd show up at Positano and there was never table for you You never made the reservation I couldn't stand you knowing my secret, I, I wanted to punish you Can you forgive me?
That depends What are you doing tonight?
It's a Philipe Perrot.
The painting's been in my family over 60 years It wasn't an easy decision but we were gonna sell that to pay for the twin's college tuition We brought it to Ms.
Bates, have it apraised...
Which would be when she stole it?
Objection, counsel is testifying Nah, I didn't think so Overruled Really?
Um, I understand your grandfather bought this painting in Paris?
Yes, he was stationed in France during world war II He bought it as an engagement gift for my grandmother Uh, do you know the date of purchase?
Grandma was a pack rat, they had the receipt It's from the Gallery Rue Saint Germaine, December 1944 Are you aware that the art lost register has catalogued at least four thousand pieces of art stolen from jewish owners during the holocaust And that any painting purchased in Europe from 1933 to 1945 is suspect?
Objection Sustained You haven't even heard his ground Sustained.
Are you enjoying Sonoma Matt?
Uh...
are you aware that the Gallery Rue Saint Germaine was a known clearing house for artwork stolen from jewish families?
Objection.
Is this a courtroom or a history class?
That's just a fauxy made up objection Move on Matt.
I know from experience you know how to do that Your honor, is it possible you're allowing this to get personal?
Oh God!
Maybe considering our history.
You might want to...
Our history?
You mean like how I waited for you for six hours at an airport after graduation?
What?
We had a romantic jamaican vacation planned Thought I was getting a ring!
Instead he never showed up, never called Three months later he emailed He sent an email!
Saying sorry, I joined the FBI.
Oh!
How are things working at the bureau anyway, Matt?
That I can explain You know what please?
I don't wanna hear another word out of you I'm first chair Not anymore.
I'm holding you in contempt Actually I've been doing that for the last ten years, I'm just making it legal Bailiff, take him Ok.
Who saw that coming?
Rock, paper, scissors, go!
Paper covers rock, I belive that that would make me new first chair Ugh!
I suck at this game!
This is unbelievable I swear she put him in jail just to ruin my getaway!
Taylor, she doesn't even know you Clearly she knows Matt Can we get back to business?
Absolutely.
Back to business.
After I get snacks You OK?
Is this case giving you a headache?
No, I brought it with me from San Francisco Anyway, the owner's testimony hurt us Alleged owner The painting's not really his, remember?
Which is why we need the original owner so we can establish initial posession And their testimony would be very compelling since, you know, they're dead Any relatives?
One, a grandaughter.
Katie Buckner But according to her neighbor she's vacationing in Fiji So we stall until she gets back Putting Jesse on the stand?
Yeah Do you have any idea how we can distinguish Orcan vs.
Taylor?
Taylor's gonna sue that spa now?
Orcan vs.
Taylor!
Come on, the controlling precedent in California?
Even if we prove the painting was stolen by Nazis Orcan says the new owners don't have to return it There's a statute to limitations forge recovery Ok, new strategy Hope the DA Barney Fife is not as good a lawyer as you are In my old life I worked in TV journalism I once produced a piece about stolen Nazi art And I pretty much memorized the whole art loss registry So, when I sat down to apraise this painting I realized I was looking at Miro's Lady with Locket Stolen from the Buckner's a jewish family who had fled the Nazi Germany in 1933 Objection!
I don't see any Buckner's in this room Overruled The only surviving family member is the grandaughter and we haven't been able to reach her Eric Danver's family paid for this painting, they have the receipt And I'm sure they didn't know they were buying stolen property It's your witness Just so I'm clear Eric Danvers didn't steal this painting, his family didn't steal this painting And to your knowledge even the dealer they bought it from didn't steal this painting Is there a question?
Or even a point?
My question and my point is, how many years back do we go to rectify past and justices?
Should we get Manhattan back to the indians?
Your honor!
Can you even prove that this is the Buckner's missing painting?
It's described in the registry Described?
Is there a photo?
No...
but...
You said the painting is called Lady with Locket?
Do you know how many ladies Miro painted?
Your honor!
Uh, yes Lawyer number 4 With all due respect what kind of court are you running here?
Taylor You're cross examining witnesses, you threw our co-counsel in jail because he broke up with you!
Unless you wanna join him dial it back, counsel Not if you recuse yourself from this case, you're the one who has to make peace with the past Hi honey!
How was work?
Patty!
You look lovely!
Don't look so surprised!
This isn't surprised.
This is happy to see a friendly face who's looking at me with something other than pity I almost called and said I couldn't make it I almost left the exact same message Then I thought about how I stayed in the house six months After feeling I sprayed up just feeling sorry for myself Until my daughter Angela kicked my ass out the door Told me don't come home until you have some fun It's a zoo benefit, I'm not sure fun is in the evening agenda What's important is you're out and besides, you brought the fun with you Jordan!
Ellen!
You're here!
I thought you said you wouldn't be attending I said I wouldn't be attending with you That's a lovely dress Patty Thank you Ellen You look particularly well-preserved tonight Sweetie, we're at table 10 Jordan!
Jeff!
Give me a minute.
Ellen!
You could have given him a heads up Oh, I know I could have We have a long list of nicknames in the office for you, so sorry to see you earning everyone of them Are you alright?
Uh, I know I promised you dinner but Would you be terribly crushed if we find it elsewhere?
Oh, of course not Thank you Don't reject this trade off What if Taylor was right when she asked the judge to recuse herself?
We could file to have her removed Then we're stuck here at least another week Well...
there are worst places to be stuck More wine?
I think you finished it all Not by myself I didn't Speaking of you, you were really good today I forgot what it's like to be on your side of the isle Well let me remind you we usually ended up fighting Then let me remind you that you were always the one who started it Are you kidding?
First time I met you you were interviewing for a job at the firm And you accused me of being a *** drunk who sold out his principles for seven figures and a car I did, and you were Yeah But that wasn't the first time you met me Excuse me?
Oh God!
I didn't mean to...
We, we met at law school How much did you drink?
We didn't go to law school together Not even at the same time University of Chicago, 5 years ago I was uh, second year and I tagged along with my roommate to this summer social recruitment dinner Where a very slick, very shallow, very smart attorney from WPK in San Francisco spoke I remember, you were there?
Yeah Did we talk?
No, not at the dinner But afterwards...
At the karaoke bar?
You were the girl I wouldn't get off the stage!
Lawschool Maggie loved the karaoke And by the way, I did get off the stage when I tried to get you to sing!
I, uh...
you remember what I sang?
Some George MIchael song?
Uh!
Yeah!
And yeah, I'm fairly certain that's why he didn't tour in America for five years In fact, let's see if you've got any better the last five years Oh, come on!
Everybody know the words Red red wine you make me feel so fine You keep me rocking all of the time I've actually had this fantasy You, me, prison But there are more hot captive women And maybe a steamy group shower Yeah, that's exactly the romantic getaway I've been dreaming of too I should probably explain about Lee, huh?
I knew who you were when I got involved with you that's why they call it the past, Matt Did you just quote Charlie Sheen?
I can live with your baggage just as long as you don't try to unpack it Wow!
Ok and right back at you Excuse me?
Taylor, we drove up here with your baggage eating gorp in the backseat He's your ex-fiance, the love of your life and I have to watch you go off every morning Knowing you're gonna spend 10, 12 hours with him Pfff, I never...
you're right About all of it, except the part about Eli being the love of my life I tought he was but...
I was wrong And that position has yet to be filled You're taking applications?
Absolutely Wait wait wait What are we doing?
You had a lot to drink Well that's just enough We both have Just, I don't wanna mess things up You know?
Things are gonne get messed up whether we want them to or not Look, I don't need you protecting me Just tell me this Where do you wanna be right now?
Here You do realize I have a phone I left you messages, never called me back That's because we've already had this conversation I can't tell Eli about the book Then tell me I spoke with Dr.
Lee She told me about Nurhachi About a kind of acupuncture that literally causes physiological damage And that you practiced it Only twice On Eli?
Once with Eli And the other time?
Come on Frank Whatever it is you can tell me I mean, we're, we're practically family here That's ironic The other time I performed the Nurhachi technique I did it on your father It was more than 10 years ago back when I was working for him in his TV shop Your dad was in pretty bad shape with the visions he was having So all the more reason not...
Told me he hadn't slept in a week There were these voices in his head, images, it was plaguing him Nate He was as close to a complete break as...
I'd ever seen in anyone I, I was young and naive enough to think that the cure couldn't possibly be worse than the desease Did it help?
I thought so, you know?
At first It gave him relieve, allowed him to see whatever he needed to see But...
Something happened He, he died less than a week later Thank you When you said you were taking me to dinner I assumed there'd be table cloths You are about to feast on the best cheeseburguer in San Francisco.
Possibly the Western Seaboard Why didn't you say something to her?
Parading her date in front of you like that Why are you letting this woman walk all over you?
I'm not letting her walk all over me The divorce, the way she treated you tonight, you're living in a hotel fot god sakes!
There are worst places to do one's penance You lost me I cheated on Taylor's mother with Ellen for months Lying to her face about it Well then make it up to Susan, not Ellen And when Susan finally found out, when my lies stopped working I tried to convince her that it was her fault If she'd been a better wife, a better mother, a better person I never would've strayed What's happened with Ellen is...
just my poultry coming home to roost What a load of crap!
Well, no need to be bashful Patty, please!
Speak you mind Do you remember what I'm doing here tonight?
Why I agreed to come here with you?
You were making amends Maybe it's time you did the same Eli?
Hey!
Hi Hey Are you pretending to be asleep just now?
What?
No I was...
um, maybe, I don't know what I was thinking Yeah, like last night, right?
Exactly Except I was kidding Yeah, me too, I'm kidding Eli Hey, no!
Look, last night was great but I don't think I've been completely honest with you About myself.
I was in the hospital over the weekend Are you ok?
Yeah, well no...
um...
I was bleeding and they found a second aneurism Oh...
oh...
I just haven't given myself any time to think about that So I was so happy to get out of town, you know?
Change of scenery And then last night Tell me you're not about to use your aneurism to justify what happened last night No!
You're missing the point Maggie Decker You're kidding!
Well that's terrific!
Um, yeah we'll see you in court We have our witness Katie Buckner the grandaughter just flew into town an hour ago We got her?
That's great!
Can...
can we just talk about this?
That we just did Look, why don't you pretend to be asleep again so I can get dressed?
My grandparents got separated while escaping Nazi Germany My grandfather got out with my mother My grandmother, she didn't make it After the war my grandfather went back to try to find her She was gone, and everything we owned, including the painting, had be stolen So, just to be clear, you've never actually seen this painting Never Would you like to?
Oh my God!
Well, it's beautiful!
My mother, she used to talk about this painting all the time The stories my grandfather told her about it When did your grandfather stopped looking for the painting Never.
He never stopped.
He didn't care about Miro or what the painting was worth, to him it was priceless To him, it was a piece of her Emotion aside Your Honor, this isn't evidence Look at Katie and look at the woman in the painting They're practically identical I'm sorry I'm not familiar with the legal look-alike test Katie, show the judge your necklace My grandmother gave this to my mom in Germany and my mom gave it to me Your Honor at this time I would like to move to dismiss And I would very much like to grant your motion counsel, but Last night I came across a little precedent called Orcan vs.
Taylor...
heard of it?
Under the 9th circuit ruling An allegedly rightful owner has to file within 3 years We're not bound by this decision, Your Honor...
An after case holds estatute of limitations ...weren't triggered until I don't think I want it Katie, this belongs to your family My family is dead Mr.
Stone And this painting can't bring them back If you want to sell the painting Mr.
Danvers, I'm OK with it All I ask is that you sell it to a museum so that people can see it and hear the story And so that I can visit it once in a while OK Bonnie and Clyde, wake up Great accommodations One complaint!
The mattresses are a little stiff Thank you It's possible I may have let myself get a little carried away It's possible What?
Matt has something he wants to say to you I'm sorry I wasn't the guy you deserved me to be and it was easier for me to lie to you Than admit that It's been ten years...
I think this statute of limitations has long since run Not exactly the result we were going for We were out to prove the painting's source With that comes the right to decide what to do with it With those kind of principles I'm really looking forward to hearing what you have to say in the Russell case Something really whistler-blowery would be nice Maggie didn't tell you Maggie?
I don't have anything to say, Mr.
Stone All the decisions about the hiring and firing of an on-air reporter like Sam they happened over my head However, that doesn't mean that I didn't care about what happened to Sam And it doesn't mean that I didn't leave Baywest Media with a whole mess of emails, memos, documents I never had the heart to read them but, it wouldn't surprised me if that there were some fairly useful things in there Useful to who?
You're the lawyer Jessie, I would very much like to see those documents No problem, I already gave Maggie the combination to my storage unit So Maggie has everything She came to see me this morning Said she had to get back early, you guys work together, right?
Not so much, no Oh, I'm sorry, I just thought...
You seemed like a good team Malcolm X, Sol Yunitzen , Mandela, what do they have in common?
Wait, let me guess, posters I had up on my college dorm?
They've all done hard time in prison Just like us We're in that club now Who'd knew a night behind bars was all we needed?
