[00:03] | Hey, Mr. Weeks. | |
[00:04] | How’s this download interface coming, Sai? | |
[00:07] | It’s not terribly elegant. | |
[00:08] | Let me try something. | |
[00:23] | Look at this. | |
[00:25] | You see? | |
[00:26] | Much more seductive. | |
[00:28] | Much less for the user to think about. | |
[00:36] | Cleaning those for me? | |
[00:37] | (WEEKS CHUCKLES) | |
[00:39] | Hey. | |
[00:40] | What are you doing here? | |
[00:41] | I need your help. | |
[00:42] | This thing isn’t working, see, I keep calling | |
[00:45] | and texting my boyfriend, but he just doesn’t answer. | |
[00:50] | Maybe it’s not your phone. | |
[00:52] | Maybe it’s your boyfriend. | |
[00:54] | Maybe is doing it on purpose. | |
[00:56] | Maybe he just… | |
[00:58] | finds you too damn distracting. | |
[01:00] | So he’s ignoring my calls and texts? | |
[01:04] | He’s ignoring his phone, not you. | |
[01:06] | (SHARP INHALE) | |
[01:07] | Why don’t we, um, step into my office | |
[01:10] | and we can hash this out? | |
[01:29] | (PANTING) | |
[01:35] | You all right? | |
[01:36] | I’m a bit… breathless. | |
[01:39] | Mission accomplished. | |
[01:41] | (LAUGHS) | |
[01:42] | Actually… (GRUNTS) Chest pain. | |
[01:47] | Mmm. I think I should take a nitroglycerin tablet. | |
[01:50] | Top drawer, right-hand side. | |

[02:16] | A little romance, | |
[02:19] | nitroglycerin to open up the blood vessels. | |
[02:25] | What do you want with an old bastard like me? | |
[02:29] | I’m not gonna marry you. | |
[02:30] | Good. | |
[02:32] | ‘Cause I’m not gonna marry you. | |
[02:36] | I’m just gonna love you to death. | |
[02:47] | Now get out of here so I can get some work done. | |
[02:52] | (BOTH CHUCKLE SOFTLY) | |
[03:02] | Promise me. | |
[03:03] | You won’t work all night? | |
[03:05] | Okay. | |
[03:06] | I promise. | |
[03:09] | But don’t wait up. | |

[03:23] | Do me a favor, remind me to book airfare | |
[03:25] | for Diana this weekend, round-trip, Houston to JFK. | |
[03:28] | – Will do. – We all set for our meeting at 10:00? | |
[03:31] | Kevin Weeks is waiting in the conference room | |
[03:33] | and Benny is waiting in your office. | |
[03:36] | My office? | |
[03:39] | Are you telling me the… | |
[03:41] | the surviving brother | |
[03:43] | of the late founder of Weeks Dynamic, | |
[03:45] | the second-largest technology company in the world, | |
[03:47] | is sitting alone in the conference room? | |
[03:49] | While Benny sits in my office? | |
[03:51] | These people were very specific on the phone. | |
[03:54] | They want to hire us to represent them in court. | |
[03:56] | I am not a lawyer. | |
[04:01] | Fine. Here. I will go straight to the conference room | |
[04:04] | and do me a favor, tell Clarence Darrow | |
[04:05] | the pleasure of his company would be | |
[04:07] | much appreciated in this meeting. | |
[04:09] | You should go see Benny first. | |
[04:11] | I’ll go sit with Mr. Weeks, | |
[04:13] | then I will get Diana’s ticket, | |
[04:14] | but you should go see Benny first. | |
[04:24] | Benny. | |
[04:28] | I’m not sure what’s going on, but… | |
[04:31] | we got a big deal, big money client | |
[04:33] | sitting all by himself in the conference room. | |
[04:37] | My dad died this morning. | |
[04:42] | Died in his sleep. | |
[04:43] | I just got the call 20 minutes ago. | |
[04:46] | (EXHALES) | |
[04:47] | Diego. | |
[04:49] | Yeah, I just… | |
[04:51] | just needed a couple of minutes in private. | |
[04:54] | Pull myself together. | |
[04:56] | I know all about the Weeks meeting; | |
[04:57] | I’ll be right in there. | |
[04:58] | No… Benny. | |
[05:03] | Go home, Benny. | |
[05:05] | I’ll handle this. | |
[05:08] | Dr. Bull. | |
[05:10] | Uh, this is Kevin Weeks. | |
[05:12] | – Mr. Weeks. – My deepest condolences. | |
[05:15] | Unfortunately, our principal attorney, | |
[05:18] | Mr. Benjamin Colón, couldn’t be with us this morning. | |
[05:20] | So I have asked Chunk Palmer, | |
[05:23] | an attorney we work with quite a bit, | |
[05:25] | and his co-counsel Taylor Rentzel to sit in | |
[05:27] | with us during this meeting. | |
[05:30] | I’m just gonna go take care of that other little thing. | |
[05:36] | (DOOR OPENS, CLOSES) | |
[05:38] | When my older brother died last week, | |
[05:40] | I was shocked. | |
[05:42] | But not surprised. | |
[05:44] | We didn’t talk about it outside of the family, | |
[05:46] | but he had a heart condition that he discovered | |
[05:49] | shortly after he turned 40. | |
[05:52] | I remember thinking at the time, | |
[05:54] | uh, “What is it about… | |
[05:57] | “these visionaries that… | |
[05:59] | so many of them seem to leave us so early?” | |
[06:02] | Is that the trade-off | |
[06:05] | for getting to be someone who changes the world? | |
[06:08] | (EXHALES) I won’t lie. | |
[06:10] | Uh… (CHUCKLES) | |
[06:12] | Holding together a company that always seemed | |
[06:14] | to have the next great idea is quite daunting | |
[06:16] | when the idea guy has left the building. | |
[06:21] | What is it we can do for you, Mr. Weeks? | |
[06:24] | I received a call from my brother’s | |
[06:25] | primary care physician the other night. | |
[06:28] | He had received a call from the hospital | |
[06:29] | that treated my brother after they found him | |
[06:31] | unconscious in his office. | |
[06:35] | Turns out, my brother did not die… of heart failure. | |
[06:40] | He died of a nitroglycerin overdose. | |
[06:43] | Obviously, this information has not been made public yet. | |
[06:49] | I don’t understand, how can we be of help? | |
[06:53] | The treatment plan my brother followed | |
[06:55] | only called for him to take nitroglycerin | |
[06:57] | with the onset of angina or chest pains. | |
[07:01] | He did not take it on a daily basis. | |
[07:04] | Sometimes months or weeks would go by | |
[07:06] | and he would not take it. | |
[07:08] | The point being? | |
[07:11] | That m… my brother lost his life… | |
[07:15] | …because his cardiologist apparently prescribed | |
[07:18] | a lethal dosage of this drug. | |
[07:24] | But isn’t it possible he simply took too much? | |
[07:27] | More pills than he should have? | |
[07:29] | My brother was a famously fastidious person, | |
[07:31] | especially about his health. | |
[07:33] | He followed instructions, particularly medical instructions, | |
[07:36] | to the letter. | |
[07:37] | And he was a world-class germophobe. | |
[07:39] | There is no chance in hell | |
[07:41] | that he took more of this drug than he was directed to. | |
[07:45] | That’s gonna be difficult to prove. | |
[07:47] | That’s why I’m here. | |
[07:51] | I want to sue this doctor. | |
[07:54] | I want to put him out of business. | |
[07:57] | I want to make sure he never does this to anyone else ever again. | |
[08:03] | And I know I’ll need some great lawyering | |
[08:04] | and a sympathetic jury to help me do that | |
[08:06] | and those are the two things you people specialize in. | |
[08:08] | Aren’t they? | |
[08:13] | Take this case. | |
[08:21] | That is a $1 million retainer to get you started. | |
[08:23] | Just let me know when you burn through that | |
[08:25] | and I’ll send more your way. | |
[08:27] | Thank you for your time, I’ll let myself out. | |
[08:32] | (DOOR CLOSES) | |
[08:34] | Boy, that is some fierce kind of grief. | |
[08:38] | (SIGHS) | |
[08:40] | Think we’re gonna take the case? | |
[08:44] | For what it’s worth, I vote yes. | |
[08:48] | (WHISPERS): I like being a lawyer. | |
[08:56] | I don’t like funerals. | |
[09:02] | Are you one of those people who wants to | |
[09:04] | talk to take your mind off of what’s going on | |
[09:06] | or are you one of those people who… | |
[09:08] | just likes to be left to their own thoughts | |
[09:11] | in a moment like this, ’cause I can go either way. | |
[09:14] | What do you want to talk about? | |
[09:17] | I don’t know. | |
[09:19] | Your dad? | |
[09:20] | (SIGHS) | |
[09:24] | I don’t really have much to say about my dad; | |
[09:26] | it hasn’t sunk in yet. | |
[09:29] | You know what has sunk in? | |
[09:33] | There’s just my sister. | |
[09:36] | No mom, no dad, just my sister. | |
[09:41] | Just starting to feel lonely. | |
[09:46] | I don’t know how you do it by yourself. | |
[09:50] | I have you, sir. | |
[09:53] | And you have me. | |
[09:56] | So it turns out, | |
[09:58] | the front and back of Mr. Weeks’ hands | |
[10:01] | were saturated in extremely high levels | |
[10:05] | of a nitroglycerin ointment. | |
[10:07] | I believe it was that, in combination with | |
[10:09] | the nitroglycerin pill that he took that night | |
[10:12] | that proved fatal. | |
[10:14] | Well, this is the first time hearing about | |
[10:16] | nitroglycerin ointment. | |
[10:18] | Well, some people do take their nitro | |
[10:19] | in ointment form. | |
[10:22] | Was this something that was prescribed? | |
[10:23] | That’s part of what took so long. | |
[10:25] | I needed to confer with Mr. Weeks’s MD | |
[10:27] | and the answer is no. | |
[10:29] | Wait a second, I’m confused. | |
[10:31] | Was he self-medicating? | |
[10:32] | I honestly don’t think so. | |
[10:34] | There was no reason for him to be using that ointment, | |
[10:37] | certainly not all over the front and back of his hands, | |
[10:41] | let alone in such a lethal amount. | |
[10:43] | So what are you saying? What’s your official finding? | |
[10:45] | My official finding is this was a homicide. | |
[10:48] | BENNY: You know, Izzy’s going to be here. | |
[10:51] | Well, I assumed as much. | |
[10:55] | Don’t worry; I’ll keep my distance. | |
[10:57] | Ah, it’s not necessary. | |
[10:59] | It’s my sister. | |
[11:01] | She’s very fond of you, always asks about you. | |
[11:04] | Was married to you, for goodness’s sake. | |
[11:06] | Be that as it may. | |
[11:09] | Besides, isn’t she gonna be with her new husband? | |
[11:12] | Nah, actually, I don’t think so. | |
[11:15] | Something going on there. | |
[11:17] | I keep my nose out of it. | |
[11:19] | ♪ ♪ | |
[11:32] | ♪ ♪ | |
[11:50] | Oh, Izzy. | |
[11:51] | – I’m so sorry. – (SOBS) | |
[11:56] | (SOBBING) | |
[12:00] | Uh… | |
[12:02] | (SPEAKING SPANISH) | |
[12:08] | (LINE RINGING) | |
[12:10] | – MARISSA: Bull? – Go into my office. | |
[12:14] | Are you all right? You sound strange. | |
[12:16] | (EXHALES) | |
[12:18] | It’s been a strange morning. | |
[12:19] | MARISSA: Well, I can’t wait to hear. | |
[12:21] | So, who starts? | |
[12:22] | You do. And take your time; the sooner you’re done | |
[12:25] | the sooner I have to go back out and mingle. | |
[12:27] | Well, let’s start with the easy stuff. | |
[12:28] | Diane is all set. | |
[12:30] | I went ahead and booked the tickets | |
[12:31] | and the cars. | |
[12:33] | She’s gonna be here Saturday morning | |
[12:34] | and she sounds pretty damned excited to me. | |
[12:36] | Excellent, I’m counting the hours. | |
[12:38] | What else you got? | |
[12:39] | Well, the big bulletin is: | |
[12:40] | the results from the independent autopsy are in. | |
[12:43] | And while everybody is certain it was nitroglycerin | |
[12:45] | that killed Mr. Weeks, it seems | |
[12:47] | pretty unlikely it was his doctor. | |
[12:49] | Ah-ha. | |
[12:50] | Does our client know? | |
[12:51] | Well, I was waiting to tell you. | |
[12:53] | Well, have Chunk see if he can set up | |
[12:55] | an emergency meeting with him today | |
[12:56] | to bring him up to speed. | |
[12:57] | Next? | |
[12:59] | You’re up. | |
[13:03] | I saw Izzy at the funeral. | |
[13:05] | Well, that couldn’t have been a surprise. | |
[13:08] | She looked so… | |
[13:11] | fragile. | |
[13:12] | That couldn’t have been a surprise, either. | |
[13:14] | I didn’t know what to do. | |
[13:17] | I didn’t do any of it very well. | |
[13:20] | What did you want to do? | |
[13:22] | (SIGHS) | |
[13:24] | I wanted to save her. | |
[13:27] | I’ve always wanted to save her. | |
[13:29] | (BED CREAKS) | |
[13:36] | I got to go. | |
[13:46] | (SOBBING SOFTLY) | |
[13:49] | (SNIFFLES) | |
[13:53] | (EXHALES) | |
[13:56] | (SOBBING) | |
[14:14] | CHUNK: Dr. Bull extends his apologies | |
[14:15] | for not being here personally, | |
[14:17] | but we, too, had a death in our family. | |
[14:19] | Mr. Colón, our principal attorney, and the man who | |
[14:23] | will be calling all the shots for your case should it | |
[14:25] | go to court, um, he lost his father this week. | |
[14:28] | Sorry. | |
[14:29] | And thank you for coming to us. | |
[14:32] | No thanks necessary. I prefer it. | |
[14:34] | I have a very dispirited company on my hands. | |
[14:37] | Our stock is cratering, our sales are suffering. | |
[14:40] | So, any excuse to get out. | |
[14:42] | TAYLOR: Well, we have some news. | |
[14:43] | We conducted a second independent autopsy | |
[14:45] | on your late brother and he definitely died | |
[14:47] | of a nitroglycerin overdose. | |
[14:49] | But the overdose had nothing to do | |
[14:51] | with the pills he was taking. | |
[14:53] | Excuse me? | |
[14:55] | We don’t think your brother’s cardiologist | |
[14:57] | was involved at all. | |
[15:00] | Is there a chance that you could give us | |
[15:01] | a list of those close to him? | |
[15:03] | We’d like to do some research, see if we can find someone | |
[15:06] | who might have had a motive to do this. | |
[15:08] | One last thing, were you ever aware | |
[15:10] | that your brother was using this | |
[15:12] | nitroglycerin ointment on his hands? | |
[15:14] | On his hands? | |
[15:15] | No. | |
[15:17] | Like I told you, James was a germophobe. | |
[15:19] | A world-class germophobe. | |
[15:21] | Only thing he ever put on his hands was sanitizer. | |
[15:23] | He put it on by the boatload. | |
[15:30] | Good morning, Izzy’s voice mail. | |
[15:33] | I was thinking maybe we should talk. | |
[15:35] | I left a voice mail for you last night, | |
[15:37] | but you never got back to me, | |
[15:39] | which I completely understand, I just… | |
[15:44] | It is a new day. | |
[15:47] | The sun is out, I would love to hear your voice. | |
[15:51] | I hope you’re okay. | |
[15:54] | And one other thing, I’m hoping that… | |
[15:58] | you didn’t say anything to Benny about what happened. | |
[16:01] | And if you did say something to Benny, | |
[16:02] | I’m hoping you will… | |
[16:04] | call me and let me know. | |
[16:07] | Which is not why I’m calling. | |
[16:11] | Crap. | |
[16:13] | Just call me, will you? | |
[16:14] | We were married. | |
[16:16] | (EXHALES) | |
[16:17] | TAYLOR: I mean, she’s the girlfriend, she’s not in the will, | |
[16:20] | she’s only known him six or seven months. | |
[16:22] | So there’s no apparent motive, | |
[16:23] | but the deeper I dig, the weirder it gets. | |
[16:26] | And his girlfriend, this Carolyn, she’s on her way over? | |
[16:31] | Within the hour. | |
[16:44] | Carolyn Kelly? | |
[16:50] | And you are? | |
[16:52] | Dr. Jason Bull. | |
[16:54] | I think the more tantalizing question is, | |
[16:57] | and you are…? | |
[16:59] | The only reason I ask is | |
[17:02] | this lady, Alice Hatcher, | |
[17:05] | she married her high school sweetheart. | |
[17:07] | In Buffalo, New York. | |
[17:09] | He became a long haul trucker. | |
[17:11] | Left their home one night in the middle of a blizzard | |
[17:14] | to drive a truck full of mattresses to Chicago. | |
[17:16] | Apparently he had drugs in his system, | |
[17:19] | which surprised his friends because | |
[17:20] | none of them ever knew him to use drugs. | |
[17:23] | One of them even suggested that the drugs | |
[17:26] | might have been hidden in something he ate or drank. | |
[17:28] | I guess we’ll never know. | |
[17:31] | Slid off an overpass, went over a guardrail, | |
[17:33] | fell 35 feet to the highway below. | |
[17:36] | 42 feet. | |
[17:38] | I became a widow at 22. | |
[17:40] | Worst day of my life. | |
[17:43] | I’m sure it was. | |
[17:44] | So here’s a fascinating tidbit: | |
[17:46] | the trucker who, according to his friends, | |
[17:49] | loved his wife with every fiber of his being | |
[17:52] | and made $30,000 a year, | |
[17:55] | had a life insurance policy worth $2 million. | |
[17:59] | Which of these things is not like the other? | |
[18:02] | And Alice… | |
[18:04] | Me. | |
[18:05] | Was the sole beneficiary. | |
[18:07] | BENNY: Now, this lady… | |
[18:08] | sure looks like you. | |
[18:10] | But her name is Brenda McConnell. | |
[18:13] | And her hair is… | |
[18:14] | That’s me. | |
[18:16] | You know, all you had to do was ask. | |
[18:19] | I changed my name because | |
[18:20] | I suddenly came into a lot of money | |
[18:22] | and I didn’t want the lowlifes | |
[18:23] | from high school to look me up, | |
[18:25] | track me down and try and figure out some way of getting some. | |
[18:28] | Hmm. Makes perfect sense. | |
[18:30] | Change your hair color, change your hometown. | |
[18:32] | You met your second husband | |
[18:35] | in San Francisco seven years ago, a lovely man. | |
[18:39] | Had a trust fund worth over $20 million. | |
[18:42] | Sadly, was an insulin-dependant diabetic | |
[18:46] | who… somehow, despite having | |
[18:49] | cared for himself without incident his entire life | |
[18:52] | injected five times more insulin than needed | |
[18:55] | and died shortly thereafter, leaving Brenda… | |
[18:58] | Me. | |
[19:00] | …a very wealthy widow. | |
[19:02] | Again. | |
[19:04] | Second-worst day of my life. | |
[19:06] | – I can only imagine. – Which brings us to… | |
[19:10] | Carolyn. | |
[19:12] | That’s me. | |
[19:14] | And the death of James Weeks. | |
[19:17] | Third-worst day of my life. | |
[19:20] | Don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m starting to sense | |
[19:22] | you’re a very unlucky lady to be around. | |
[19:24] | Are you implying I had something to do with James’s death? | |
[19:26] | No, I’m flat-out stating it. | |
[19:29] | I just got off the phone with Kevin Weeks, | |
[19:31] | your late boyfriend’s brother. | |
[19:34] | He has asked us to file suit on his behalf | |
[19:37] | against you, Carolyn Kelly. | |
[19:39] | AKA Brenda McConnell, AKA Alice Hatcher, | |
[19:43] | for wrongful death, | |
[19:44] | intentional infliction of emotional distress, | |
[19:46] | battery and tortious interference. | |
[19:49] | Whew. That’s a mouthful. | |
[19:52] | And we’re gonna keep your tab open, | |
[19:55] | just in case we come across any other goodies | |
[19:56] | as we continue to investigate. | |
[19:59] | You have been served. | |
[20:01] | Based on what? | |
[20:03] | Let’s just say for the moment I’m playing a hunch. | |
[20:07] | And here’s another one: | |
[20:08] | you should get yourself a lawyer. | |
[20:10] | CHUNK: Come on, admit it. | |
[20:13] | Fourth-worst day of your life? | |
[20:20] | (KNOCKING ON GLASS) | |
[20:21] | He doesn’t live here anymore. | |
[20:30] | First time in the big city, fella? | |
[20:33] | Hey. | |
[20:34] | If I wanted some smart-ass banter, | |
[20:36] | I’d just go home and talk to myself. | |
[20:39] | Someone’s in an excellent mood. | |
[20:42] | (SIGHS) | |
[20:46] | How many times are you allowed to leave a message | |
[20:49] | without getting an answer before you move | |
[20:51] | from concerned acquaintance to potential predator? | |
[20:54] | Give me a time frame. | |
[20:57] | 36 hours or so. | |
[21:00] | And how many calls or texts? | |
[21:02] | I’d rather not say. | |
[21:04] | You should just drop everything | |
[21:05] | and register as a sex offender right now. | |
[21:07] | Hmm. | |
[21:10] | Diana? | |
[21:14] | I’d rather not talk about it. | |
[21:16] | And this can’t be what you came in here to discuss. | |
[21:18] | No, but this is so much better. | |
[21:24] | You win. Wanted to tell you Danny called. | |
[21:27] | All the hand sanitizer | |
[21:29] | in James Weeks’ office is long gone. | |
[21:32] | Oh. No doubt our girl swooped in there | |
[21:35] | and made sure she left no evidence behind. | |
[21:38] | But Danny did find a bottle in his locker at the company gym. | |
[21:41] | She dropped it off for testing, | |
[21:42] | and we should know something by morning. | |
[21:49] | So, if Diana’s not taking your calls, | |
[21:53] | should I… perhaps cancel her flight? | |
[21:59] | Yeah, you probably should. | |
[22:02] | I probably should. | |
[22:05] | I’ll call her. | |
[22:08] | And it’s Izzy who’s not returning my calls. | |
[22:12] | Oh, my. | |
[22:19] | I’ll call Diana. | |
[22:22] | Forget I said anything. | |
[22:27] | BENNY: And after testing the bottle of hand sanitizer | |
[22:30] | found in Mr. Weeks’s gym locker, what did you find? | |
[22:34] | That it contained an extraordinarily high | |
[22:36] | concentration of nitroglycerin ointment. | |
[22:40] | And in your expert opinion, Doctor, | |
[22:42] | is there any medical basis upon which to believe | |
[22:45] | that perhaps Mr. Weeks himself | |
[22:47] | might have mixed this ointment into his hand sanitizer? | |
[22:51] | No, none whatsoever. | |
[22:53] | For one thing, Mr. Weeks was under the care | |
[22:55] | of one of the city’s finest cardiologists. | |
[22:58] | For another, his prescription was for pills, not ointment. | |
[23:02] | And thirdly, his prescription clearly indicated | |
[23:06] | that he was only to use the drug upon the onset of symptoms, | |
[23:10] | not as an ongoing course of treatment. | |
[23:12] | And another thing | |
[23:13] | that strongly suggests that Mr. Weeks | |
[23:16] | had no idea the hand sanitizer | |
[23:18] | he was using was tainted | |
[23:19] | is that those who do use nitroglycerin ointment | |
[23:23] | know full well that it is not meant | |
[23:26] | to be massaged into the skin. | |
[23:29] | Vigorously rubbing it all over | |
[23:31] | your hands, as one does with sanitizer, | |
[23:34] | would significantly increase the potency | |
[23:37] | of an already potent drug, | |
[23:39] | a drug that must be precisely dosed | |
[23:42] | in order to be helpful and not harmful. | |
[23:46] | So, based on the concentration of nitroglycerin | |
[23:50] | found in the hand sanitizer and the manner of application, | |
[23:53] | how many squirts of sanitizer would it take | |
[23:57] | to cause heart failure for a man in James Weeks’s condition? | |
[24:01] | In combination with one of his pills? | |
[24:03] | Just one. | |
[24:05] | BENNY: Thank you, Dr. Barnes. | |
[24:07] | No further questions, Your Honor. | |
[24:10] | DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Good morning, Doctor. | |
[24:11] | Just for the record, | |
[24:14] | the Medical Examiner for the City of New York | |
[24:16] | ruled James Weeks’s death an accident. | |
[24:19] | Isn’t that correct? | |
[24:21] | That’s correct. | |
[24:22] | And you don’t have the authority | |
[24:23] | to overrule that finding, | |
[24:25] | do you, Dr. Barnes? | |
[24:27] | It’s not a question of overruling. | |
[24:29] | I was asked to formulate my own independent scientific opinion. | |
[24:34] | Which I did, based on an examination | |
[24:37] | that was significantly more thorough. | |
[24:40] | And again, for the record, | |
[24:42] | the plaintiff and his lawyers paid you | |
[24:45] | a generous sum to formulate this opinion. | |
[24:48] | Isn’t that right, Dr. Barnes? | |
[24:50] | Yes. Just as I’m sure your client | |
[24:53] | is paying you handsomely | |
[24:55] | to ask me these questions. | |
[24:59] | Now, in the interest of being thorough | |
[25:02] | and to be doubly sure that the Weeks family | |
[25:04] | gets absolutely everything they paid you for, | |
[25:07] | did you find any evidence of any kind | |
[25:10] | to indicate that Carolyn Kelly is the person | |
[25:13] | who mixed this deadly nitroglycerin | |
[25:15] | into James Weeks’s sanitizer? | |
[25:18] | No, I didn’t. | |
[25:20] | No further questions, Your Honor. | |
[25:23] | (PHONE RINGING) | |
[25:27] | (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) | |
[25:30] | Izzy. | |
[25:32] | IZZY: I heard you don’t drink anymore. | |
[25:35] | Well, don’t believe everything you hear. | |
[25:38] | You remember where Glassman’s is? | |
[25:41] | Want to meet me there tomorrow at 8:00? | |
[25:45] | I’d like that a lot, actually. | |
[25:47] | Great. Now stop calling me. | |
[25:57] | BENNY: I have to be honest with you. | |
[26:01] | I don’t know what to do with this. | |
[26:03] | There’s no evidence. There’s no nothing. | |
[26:06] | The most damning thing about her is that… | |
[26:11] | it appears she’s done this two other times | |
[26:14] | to two other men, | |
[26:15] | but we can’t even bring that up in court. | |
[26:18] | Why not? | |
[26:19] | Well, to begin with, she was never charged. | |
[26:22] | And even if she had been charged, | |
[26:24] | the court would almost always disallow it. | |
[26:27] | But why? | |
[26:30] | Relevant evidence | |
[26:32] | is evidence tending to prove or disprove | |
[26:34] | that someone did something. | |
[26:36] | But it… The fact that they did it in the past | |
[26:38] | doesn’t actually prove that they did it in the present. | |
[26:41] | If only we could prove that it was Carolyn | |
[26:43] | who put that stuff in the hand sanitizer. | |
[26:45] | By tomorrow, when we basically have to rest our case | |
[26:48] | because other than the accused, we have no other witnesses. | |
[26:51] | (SIGHS) | |
[26:53] | So… that’s it? | |
[26:56] | We’re done? | |
[26:59] | Is this woman some kind of criminal mastermind? | |
[27:01] | I mean, all of us, all of this technology… | |
[27:05] | and we still can’t prove anything? | |
[27:08] | We still don’t even know why she did it. | |
[27:10] | She kills for money. | |
[27:12] | Why can’t we find the money? | |
[27:17] | I was reading in the paper this morning | |
[27:19] | about all the people losing their shirts | |
[27:20] | because of Weeks Dynamic stock going into the toilet. | |
[27:23] | Well, hey, well, the world believes | |
[27:25] | that without James, there is no Weeks Dynamic. | |
[27:27] | TAYLOR: And they’re probably right. | |
[27:29] | What did his brother say that day he came in here? | |
[27:31] | “Holding together a company | |
[27:32] | “that always seemed to have the next great idea | |
[27:35] | is really hard when the idea guy has left the building.” | |
[27:38] | Wait, wait. | |
[27:40] | What is that old expression? | |
[27:42] | “For everybody who makes money in the stock market, | |
[27:45] | someone has to lose.” | |
[27:47] | I never understood that. | |
[27:49] | My ex-husband. | |
[27:51] | He’s a stockbroker. He understands it. | |
[27:53] | It’s the only thing he ever wanted to talk about. | |
[27:55] | The thousands of ways he could make you money. | |
[27:59] | Taylor… | |
[28:00] | there’s a free piece of pizza | |
[28:02] | in it for you if you will call him | |
[28:03] | and ask him two questions for me. | |
[28:05] | One: so, if everybody in the world | |
[28:08] | loses money when James Weeks dies, | |
[28:10] | who makes money? | |
[28:11] | And two: what would it have been worth | |
[28:14] | if someone knew exactly when he was going to die? | |
[28:18] | (CHUCKLES): Um… I’ll try. | |
[28:22] | I’ll call him. I don’t know if I’ll get him. | |
[28:24] | It’s okay. I’m here all night. | |
[28:27] | He sometimes doesn’t want to speak to me | |
[28:29] | if it’s not about our son. | |
[28:31] | Make it about your son. | |
[28:36] | Do you mind if I use the conference room? | |
[28:38] | Use anything you want. | |
[28:47] | Uh… | |
[28:48] | Yes? Can I get you anything? | |
[28:52] | Can I bring you anything? | |
[28:54] | A motive? | |
[29:05] | Psst! (WHISPERS): Hey. | |
[29:09] | What are you so happy about? | |
[29:11] | This has all the makings of a pretty horrible day. | |
[29:14] | I got the world on a string. | |
[29:16] | I got three hours of sleep. I got a hot date tonight, | |
[29:18] | and I know what that black widow did and how she did it. | |
[29:23] | If you’re messing with me, this is so cruel. | |
[29:25] | And I think I have a way we can talk about her first two victims | |
[29:28] | without the judge throwing the book at us. | |
[29:31] | BENNY: Good morning, Ms. Kelly. | |
[29:33] | I know you’ve been through a lot, so I’ll try to… | |
[29:35] | get this over with as quickly and painlessly as I can. | |
[29:39] | Thank you. | |
[29:41] | Now, if I can, I’d like to go back | |
[29:44] | 24 years to the death of your first husband. | |
[29:47] | DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Objection. | |
[29:49] | Relevance? | |
[29:50] | In fact, may we approach the bench? | |
[29:53] | You read my mind. | |
[29:57] | How red is it? | |
[29:58] | It’s like a forest fire in here. | |
[30:00] | All red. No green. | |
[30:03] | Your Honor, I think we all know | |
[30:05] | what this man is trying to do here. | |
[30:06] | Allow me, please. | |
[30:08] | Mr. Colón… | |
[30:10] | I know all about this woman’s two previous marriages. | |
[30:14] | And I know all about her husbands meeting untimely ends. | |
[30:17] | But as you well know, | |
[30:19] | none of that can be considered admissible. | |
[30:22] | And none of that is actually relevant. | |
[30:25] | Your Honor, if you’ll allow me, | |
[30:28] | I did not ask the question as an avenue | |
[30:30] | to explore how her husbands may have died | |
[30:33] | or her possible involvement in those deaths. | |
[30:38] | I’m simply going down another road here. | |
[30:40] | And if you’ll just give me a little room… | |
[30:43] | Fine, Mr. Colón. | |
[30:46] | But the operative word here is “little.” | |
[30:48] | (WHISPERS): And you don’t want to push me. | |
[30:51] | Not I. Not ever. | |
[30:53] | Proceed. | |
[30:57] | As I was saying… | |
[30:59] | after your first husband died | |
[31:01] | in that horrible traffic accident, | |
[31:03] | you went back to school, didn’t you? | |
[31:07] | Yes. | |
[31:08] | And what was it that you studied? | |
[31:11] | Personal finance. | |
[31:13] | Personal finance, okay. | |
[31:15] | Any particular reason you chose to study personal finance? | |
[31:21] | I-I’m guessing it’s because you were young | |
[31:23] | and you didn’t have much experience with money. | |
[31:25] | I believe your husband had some life insurance. | |
[31:28] | Objection again. What does this have to do | |
[31:30] | with Mr. Weeks’ death? | |
[31:37] | The ice is getting paper-thin | |
[31:39] | where you’re standing, Mr. Colón. | |
[31:40] | And the sun is coming out, and the temperature is rising. | |
[31:44] | Am I being clear? | |
[31:46] | Crystal clear. | |
[31:47] | Thank you. | |
[31:52] | So, again, | |
[31:54] | why did you choose to study personal finance? | |
[31:58] | It’s very much what you said. | |
[32:01] | My husband died unexpectedly. | |
[32:05] | Thankfully, he had quite a bit of insurance, | |
[32:08] | and I needed to find ways | |
[32:09] | to make that money last as long as possible. | |
[32:11] | That makes perfect sense. | |
[32:13] | Now, in the course of your studies, | |
[32:15] | I’m sure you spent some time learning about the stock market. | |
[32:19] | It was part of the curriculum, yes. | |
[32:20] | And just to get the obvious question out of the way, | |
[32:24] | do you own any stock in Weeks Dynamic? | |
[32:26] | No. | |
[32:27] | Not a single share, not ever. | |
[32:30] | James kept encouraging me to invest. | |
[32:33] | I think he thought it would secure my future, | |
[32:35] | but… it made me uncomfortable. | |
[32:37] | Well, that’s very admirable. | |
[32:39] | Yeah, Bull, I don’t see where you’re going here, | |
[32:41] | and neither does the jury. | |
[32:42] | Just remember what the young doctor said to his mother | |
[32:44] | when she asked what he wanted for Christmas. | |
[32:47] | Patience. | |
[32:48] | Do you know anything about “shorting stocks”? | |
[32:53] | “Shorting stocks.” Are you familiar with that? | |
[32:59] | I’ve certainly heard of it. | |
[33:01] | I’m sure in the course of the four years at school | |
[33:03] | we talked about it, but… | |
[33:06] | honestly, I… I don’t remember very much. | |
[33:09] | So if I asked you to explain it to the jury, | |
[33:12] | you… couldn’t or wouldn’t? | |
[33:15] | I haven’t been to college in over a decade. | |
[33:18] | (CHUCKLES): Ah. Well, that’s funny. | |
[33:20] | Because according to my notes, you took a course | |
[33:23] | in “Alternative Earning Strategies | |
[33:25] | for the Stock Market.” | |
[33:27] | “Shorting.” | |
[33:29] | Wouldn’t you consider that an alternative earning strategy? | |
[33:35] | I suppose you might. | |
[33:36] | – Your Honor! – What, Counsel? | |
[33:39] | He’s heading down a road, and I’m sensing we’re almost there. | |
[33:42] | Are we almost there, Mr. Colón? | |
[33:44] | Oh, we are, Your Honor. | |
[33:46] | Great. Continue, then. | |
[33:47] | Thank you. | |
[33:49] | Now, as I understand it, this… “shorting” stuff, | |
[33:52] | you could make a lot of money doing it. | |
[33:55] | You just… | |
[33:56] | have to know some things | |
[33:58] | and be willing to take some risks, right? | |
[34:02] | – In theory, I guess. – Okay. | |
[34:04] | So, help me understand. | |
[34:07] | Say there’s a really successful stock. | |
[34:10] | Say… Weeks Dynamic, prior to your boyfriend’s death, | |
[34:15] | just as a hypothetical. | |
[34:17] | Objection! | |
[34:18] | Overruled. | |
[34:20] | Let’s say it’s going | |
[34:21] | for a hundred dollars a share, and someone wanted | |
[34:24] | to short it… they would call a broker | |
[34:26] | and make a deal to what? | |
[34:28] | Borrow, not buy, say… | |
[34:31] | a hundred thousand shares? | |
[34:33] | – That sound about right? – Objection! | |
[34:35] | Calls for facts not in evidence. | |
[34:37] | It’s a hypothetical, Your Honor. | |
[34:39] | The jury understands that. | |
[34:41] | The witness studied personal finance. | |
[34:43] | I’m simply asking her to use her expertise | |
[34:46] | to help us understand a business concept | |
[34:49] | we might otherwise not be familiar with. | |
[34:52] | The witness will answer the question. | |
[34:58] | (SIGHS) | |
[35:00] | It seems to make sense so far. | |
[35:02] | Great! So now that we’ve borrowed these shares | |
[35:06] | at a hundred dollars apiece, we have to turn around | |
[35:09] | and sell those shares at a hundred, | |
[35:11] | a hundred and one, a hundred and two, | |
[35:13] | a hundred and three… isn’t that correct? | |
[35:18] | I believe that’s the idea. | |
[35:20] | No, but wait… we don’t actually own them. | |
[35:23] | So now we’ve got to make good | |
[35:25] | to the person we borrowed them from. | |
[35:28] | Right? | |
[35:29] | Of course. | |
[35:31] | What if… | |
[35:33] | what if they were worth a lot less | |
[35:35] | than when you borrowed them five days earlier? | |
[35:38] | What if, as fate would have it, | |
[35:40] | the head of the company suddenly passed away? | |
[35:44] | I’m sorry, what is the question? | |
[35:47] | Did you short 40,000 shares of Weeks stock | |
[35:50] | during the five days prior to James Weeks’s death? | |
[35:56] | BULL (QUIETLY): I don’t care what anyone says, | |
[35:58] | him doing that, it never gets old. | |
[36:00] | BENNY: Your Honor, the plaintiff would like to enter into evidence… | |
[36:04] | this collection of paperwork | |
[36:07] | initiated by the defendant | |
[36:10] | to create a string of shell companies | |
[36:13] | for the sole purpose | |
[36:15] | of disguising Ms. Kelly’s transactions | |
[36:18] | as related to the shorting of Weeks stock. | |
[36:22] | There’s still some connective tissue missing, | |
[36:24] | but I think the evidence | |
[36:25] | makes the defendant’s intent abundantly clear. | |
[36:28] | – Your Honor! Objection! – Ms. Garfield, | |
[36:30] | you will have your chance to cross-examine. | |
[36:33] | Objection overruled. | |
[36:39] | Now… | |
[36:41] | according to the employees at Weeks Dynamic, | |
[36:45] | on the night of James Weeks’s death, | |
[36:47] | you spent an hour with him… | |
[36:49] | behind closed doors in his office. | |
[36:53] | Isn’t that true? | |
[36:56] | If they say so. | |
[37:00] | And wasn’t the purpose of that visit, that time | |
[37:03] | behind closed doors, | |
[37:05] | to get your boyfriend physically excited? | |
[37:08] | Physically taxed enough to trigger chest pains | |
[37:12] | so he would… take his pill? | |
[37:15] | And knowing what a germophobe he was, top it off | |
[37:17] | with some of your specially formulated hand sanitizer? | |
[37:23] | Isn’t that why the paramedics found James Weeks naked? | |
[37:30] | Come on, Marissa, we’re giving ’em sex, | |
[37:32] | we’re giving ’em violence… you can’t tell me | |
[37:34] | that jury’s still all red. | |
[37:36] | I… Sorry, I got so engrossed in listening, | |
[37:38] | I forgot to say anything. | |
[37:40] | Looks like a freshly mowed lawn in here. | |
[37:46] | The witness will answer the question. | |
[37:51] | I’d like to plead the fifth. | |
[37:53] | – (GALLERY MURMURING) – (SIGHS) | |
[37:55] | BENNY: Excellent call. | |
[37:56] | No further questions, Your Honor. | |
[37:58] | (GAVEL BANGING) | |
[37:59] | JUDGE: Order in this court, please. Order! | |
[38:07] | It’s been a hell of a week. | |
[38:10] | (SIGHS): It’s been a hell of week. | |
[38:14] | (TAKES DEEP BREATH) | |
