7. Hey.
Hey, yourself.Copy !req
8. Jimmy, I'm really slammed.
Just tell me what you need.Copy !req
9. What is it?Copy !req
10. I can't open it.Copy !req
11. So, what does it say?Copy !req
12. I must call
to your attention
the newly passedCopy !req
13. Environmental impact
and sustainability
assurance act,Copy !req
14. A statute that,
as you know,Copy !req
15. Went into effect
without any ex-post facto
provisions in place.Copy !req
16. You got
a second, chuck?Copy !req
17. Um, not really. I'm...
I'm kind of...Copy !req
18. It'll just take two seconds.
I promise.Copy !req
19. All right.Copy !req
20. What's this?Copy !req
21. (scoffs)
is this a joke?Copy !req
22. No. No joke.Copy !req
23. You...
You passed the bar?Copy !req
24. Yeah. I did.
(sniffs)Copy !req
25. I... I thought
if kim could do it,Copy !req
26. Maybe I can, too,
you know?Copy !req
27. So I got my last
few credits
for undergradCopy !req
28. From a community college.Copy !req
29. I mean, they're not
just for draft dodgers
and yoga classes, all right?Copy !req
30. Then I found a law school
that would accept me.Copy !req
31. You know,
wasn't georgetown
or anything, but...Copy !req
32. The university
of american samoa.Copy !req
33. Oh.
Correspondence school.Copy !req
34. Well, I wasn't
gonna quit work, right?Copy !req
35. Mmm-hmm.
Day... Nights, weekends,
you know?Copy !req
36. They call it
"distance learning"
nowadays.Copy !req
37. But they're accredited.
Go, land crabs.Copy !req
38. So, you know,
I did that.Copy !req
39. And, um,
the bar exam's
a mother.Copy !req
40. I mean,
for me it was.Copy !req
41. I failed it
the first two times,Copy !req
42. But I guess it's like
losing your virginity...Copy !req
43. Third time's
the charm.Copy !req
44. How... This must have
taken you years.Copy !req
45. And you kept it
a secret all this time.Copy !req
46. Why? You didn't
come to me for help?Copy !req
47. Jesus, chuck,
you're the
busiest guy I know.Copy !req
48. I mean, you're doing
important shit.Copy !req
49. (laughs) wow!Copy !req
50. I don't know
what to say.Copy !req
51. Well,
are you proud of me?Copy !req
52. Hmm? Oh... Yes!Copy !req
53. Absolutely.
Thanks.Copy !req
54. Chuck,
that means a lot.Copy !req
55. Oh, hey.Copy !req
56. I was hoping, you know,
if you think it's appropriate,Copy !req
57. Um, once I get
sworn in and
everything...Copy !req
58. Consider hiring me?Copy !req
59. As what?Copy !req
60. Oh. A... A lawyer.Copy !req
61. (chuckling)
obviously. Yeah.Copy !req
62. Well, that's a questionCopy !req
63. I'm gonna have to
take up with howard
and the other partners.Copy !req
64. Uh, you know,Copy !req
65. It's not my decision alone.Copy !req
66. But how could
they say no?Copy !req
67. So much drive.Copy !req
68. Jimmy,
look what
you've done here.Copy !req
69. Oh, yeah! Whoo!Copy !req

105. With the bernalillo county
district attorney's office,Copy !req
106. We have reached
a plea agreementCopy !req
107. For former treasurer
craig kettleman.Copy !req
108. We believe
this is a just
and fair outcomeCopy !req
109. And brings to a closeCopy !req
110. An incident
mr. Kettleman
deeply regrets.Copy !req
111. He is committed to making
amends for his mistakes...Copy !req
112. Can I help you?Copy !req
113. Yeah, I'm here
to see mrs. Landry.Copy !req
114. Oh.Copy !req

I'm all hydrox'd out.Copy !req
137. Well, please help yourself
if you change your mind.Copy !req
138. All right. That one.Copy !req
139. Okay. And that one.Copy !req
140. And that is it.Copy !req
141. (sighs)
what a relief.Copy !req
142. I should have
done this years ago.Copy !req
143. Well, people do
tend to put it off.Copy !req
144. Hmm.
But everybody
should have a will.Copy !req
145. Please tell
your friends.Copy !req
146. And that comes to $140.Copy !req
147. And I'm happy to take, uh,
cash or a check or, uh... Cash.Copy !req
148. O... One moment.Copy !req
149. Could you
write me a check?Copy !req
150. Well,
it's been so long,Copy !req
151. I... I... I really
don't know if I have
enough in my account.Copy !req
152. I am so sorry.Copy !req
153. Thi...
This is awful, but...Copy !req
154. (sighs)
All I have is $43.Copy !req
155. Okay.Copy !req
156. Now, I could ask
for an advance.Copy !req
157. I... I... I am so sorry.Copy !req
158. It's fine.Copy !req
159. I... I don't know
what to say.Copy !req
160. This is awful.Copy !req
161. Uh, oh, you could
keep the will until
I get my allowance,Copy !req
162. And... And that should
only be until
the end of next week.Copy !req
163. Okay, that's not necessary.
Here's my address.Copy !req
164. Just mail it to me
when you've got it,
all right?Copy !req
165. And why don't we, uh...Copy !req
166. We'll just make
it an even $120.Copy !req
167. All right?Copy !req
168. Oh. Oh. Thank you.Copy !req
169. You have a nice day.Copy !req
170. Excuse me.
Allowance?Copy !req
171. Your family
has you on an allowance?Copy !req
172. Oh, no, no.
It's... It's my money.Copy !req
173. I just get it
from sandpiper crossing.Copy !req
174. $500 a month...Copy !req
175. I don't understand.Copy !req
176. You should have
social security checks...Copy !req
177. Mmm-hmm.
Plus that pension
we talked about.Copy !req
178. So, how are you
on an allowance?Copy !req
179. Well, the checks
go to sandpiper,Copy !req
180. And then they take out
my fees and...
And my expenses.Copy !req
181. Why don't you
just come on in?Copy !req
182. I'm afraid I'm not
explaining it very well.Copy !req
183. I... I have statements here...
Somewhere.Copy !req
184. Somewhere.
Okay. Here...Copy !req
185. So, your pension
and social securityCopy !req
186. Goes straight
to the sandpiper people?Copy !req
187. They take out...
They take out what they need,Copy !req
188. And then...
And then I get
my allowance.Copy !req
189. Here. And...
And all the rest goes
into my savings account.Copy !req
190. It's really
all very above-board.Copy !req
191. A lot of places
do it this way.Copy !req
192. This is how they do it
for everybody around here?Copy !req
193. Well, yes, they...
They try to make
everything easy for us.Copy !req
194. Mrs. Landry,
are any of your friends
around who I could talk to?Copy !req
195. I see you spent...
Now, I don't know
if you noticed...Copy !req
196. $187.50 on 4-10-12.Copy !req
197. Do you know
what 4-10-12 is?Copy !req
198. No. In order to find out,
you have to look on the back.Copy !req
199. Okay?
And see this key.Copy !req
200. I see you have
reading glasses.
Can I borrow your glasses?Copy !req
201. Yes.
Thank you.Copy !req
202. Oh, these are
gonna help me,Copy !req
203. But I don't know
if they'll do the trick.Copy !req
204. (chuckles) so tiny.Copy !req
205. 4-10-12...Copy !req
206. I think it might be q-tips.
I can't tell.Copy !req
207. It's probably an accident,
but we should look into it.Copy !req
208. Don't you think?Copy !req
209. They're not doing
this intentionally.Copy !req
210. Okay?
This could be a mistake.Copy !req
211. But if we correct
the mistake,Copy !req
212. Then you'll get
some money back,
and it'll be fair.Copy !req
213. Hey, chuck.Copy !req
214. My boxes,
the ones I left...Copy !req
215. Oh.Copy !req
216. Sandpiper crossing...Copy !req
217. Sandpiper crossing...Copy !req
218. (sighs)
did you do my wills?Copy !req
219. Yes, I did.Copy !req
220. Hey. Would you
look at that?Copy !req
221. Thank you.
Don't thank me.Copy !req
222. This was
a one-time thing,Copy !req
223. And don't think
I don't see what
you were doing here.Copy !req
224. You wanted to
play tom sawyer,Copy !req
225. Wanted me to
paint the fence,Copy !req
226. And god help me,
it worked.Copy !req
227. You need help?Copy !req
228. Hire a paralegal,
stand on your
own two feet.Copy !req
229. Yeah. Sure.
I'll do that.Copy !req
230. You're not even
listening to me.Copy !req
231. No, I... I hear you,
chuck, okay?Copy !req
232. Self-reliance.
It's great stuff.
Would you look at this?Copy !req
233. What did I just say?Copy !req
234. Ta-take a look, okay?
Just right here.Copy !req
235. Do you see what I see?
(sighs)Copy !req
236. All I'm asking is
for you to take a look.
Please?Copy !req
237. "sandpiper crossing..."Copy !req
238. It's a retirement home,
assisted living.Copy !req
239. It's...
This is one of their
monthly invoicesCopy !req
240. They send
their residents.Copy !req
241. What exactly
am I looking for?Copy !req
242. It's nothing
earth-shaking.Copy !req
243. Just little things,
little things like...Copy !req
244. Like this right here.Copy !req
245. $14 for code 118-62.
What's 118-62?Copy !req
246. I wonder.Copy !req
247. How could you even read this?Copy !req
248. It's like microfilm.Copy !req
249. 118-62 is
facial tissue.Copy !req
250. 14 bucks
for a box of kleenex.Copy !req
251. Yeah, I found others.Copy !req
252. There's $3.50
for a single
roll of toilet paper,Copy !req
253. Twenty-two bucks
for a bottle of aspirin.Copy !req
254. It's a clear pattern
of overcharging.Copy !req
255. Nothing huge,
but it adds up
to real money.Copy !req
256. I mean,
here, look.Copy !req
257. This woman...
She got soaked for like
400 bucks last month.Copy !req
258. And there's
a pretty solid attemptCopy !req
259. At concealment
of that fact,Copy !req
260. Which to my way
of thinking, makes it...Copy !req
261. Fraud.Copy !req
262. This was in work I did?Copy !req
263. Yeah, you must
have missed it.Copy !req
264. Um, look, chuck,
I got lucky, right?Copy !req
265. Even a stopped clock
is right twice a day.Copy !req
266. And this is no
mom-and-pop outfit, okay?Copy !req
267. I dug around a little.Copy !req
268. They're owned by
some kind of real-estate
investment trust.Copy !req
269. I'm working at
getting more info,
but this could be big.Copy !req
270. I mean, this could be
a big case, right?Copy !req
271. (sighs)
if it's more than
a few errant billingsCopy !req
272. And if it's systematic
and you establish
a pattern,Copy !req
273. It could be
class-action.Copy !req
274. What do I do now?
I mean, what next?Copy !req
275. Well, you're gonna
need more information.Copy !req
276. You don't want to
go off half-cocked.Copy !req
277. Full cock. Okay.
(chuckles)Copy !req
278. No, I...
I'm gonna
head back there.Copy !req
279. Thank you.
You're the best.Copy !req
280. Back to see
mrs. Landry.Copy !req
281. Okay.Copy !req
282. What gives?Copy !req
283. Sorry, sir.
New policy.Copy !req
284. We're concerned about
solicitation on premises.Copy !req
285. I'm not a gigolo,
if that's what
you're implying.Copy !req
286. Legal solicitation.Copy !req
287. We are obligated to
protect our residents
from being harassed,Copy !req
288. And we have
the right to
refuse entry.Copy !req
289. I have clients in there.Copy !req
290. Now, they have
the legal right to
meet with me.Copy !req
291. Well, you'll just have to
arrange to meet
them elsewhere.Copy !req
292. Oh, come on, guys.
Seriously?Copy !req
293. What, are you making
soylent green
back there?Copy !req
294. It's...
All right, okay.Copy !req
295. I... I'm backing away.
Yeah?Copy !req
296. You know what?
Uh... This...Copy !req
297. Hey, this has gotten me
a little bit stirred up
down there.Copy !req
298. Can I use
your restroom?Copy !req
299. Please, it's...
I've got I.B.S.Copy !req
300. Go ahead.Copy !req
301. "to sandpiper crossing...Copy !req
302. "... Clients of

305. "we believe that...
Breach of contract..."Copy !req
306. Come on, now, sir.

311. "or I will be forced

313. This is a demand letter
informing sandpiper crossingCopy !req
314. Of pending litigationCopy !req
315. For defrauding my clients

316. You're shredding
in there! I'm not deaf!Copy !req
317. I can hear you!
Stop right now!Copy !req
318. This here...
This makes
it official, right?Copy !req
319. If you don't
stop shredding
right now,Copy !req
320. That's destruction
of evidence...
Spoliation!Copy !req
321. That's what it's called,
and it's a felony!Copy !req
322. So, call your lawyers
right now and
tell them I said that...Copy !req
323. Me...
James mcgill esquire!Copy !req
324. I'm telling you guys,
big mistake! Aah!Copy !req
325. Hey.Copy !req
326. Hey.Copy !req
327. Am I calling

328. No, not at all.Copy !req

330. Uh, pretty good.
Getting by.Copy !req
331. How about you?Copy !req

334. Yeah. I... I've been...
There's been a lot going on.Copy !req
335. You know how it is.Copy !req
336. Yeah, I know.Copy !req
337. Uh, listen. I was...Copy !req
338. Was hoping maybe
you could do me a favor.Copy !req
339. Do you think

340. It'd be during my shift
the day after tomorrow.Copy !req
341. Look, I hate to ask,
but my regular
sitter's down...Copy !req
342. Anything you need,
I'll be there.Copy !req
343. You can get off work?
I don't want to impose
or anything.Copy !req
344. (brakes squealing)
no. Anytime.Copy !req
345. It's not
an imposition.Copy !req
346. Thanks.
Appreciate it.Copy !req
347. Yeah, no problem.Copy !req

355. Oh.Copy !req
356. Oh! (sighs)Copy !req
357. Oh! God damn it!Copy !req
358. And it didn't
even make it fit.Copy !req
359. And I'm like,
"it's not like we're close
to being done.Copy !req
360. I mean, can't you
get somebody
else to do it?Copy !req
361. Right.Copy !req
362. They don't pay any
of us enough for this shit.Copy !req
363. You know what?
And it's going
on and on and on.Copy !req
364. And so I'm like,Copy !req
365. "why are you
making your problems
my problems?"Copy !req
366. Right. Like you
don't have enough
problems of your own.Copy !req
367. Exactly!
That's exactly
what I'm saying.Copy !req
368. Thank you.
But he just...Copy !req
369. (whispering)
james mcgill.Copy !req
370. Mr. Mcgill,Copy !req
371. Rich schweikart
of schweikart and cokely.Copy !req
372. We're the law firm
representing sandpiper

373. How are you
this evening?Copy !req
374. Quite well, thank you.Copy !req
375. How are you?Copy !req
376. Doing fine. Doing fine.Copy !req
377. I'm sorry to call so late.Copy !req
378. Did I catch you
at a bad time?Copy !req
379. (whispers)
no, no. No, it's fine.Copy !req
380. It's just that
you're whispering.Copy !req
381. I'm at the opera.Copy !req

383. "magic flute."Copy !req
384. Mozart! Lovely.Copy !req
385. Well, I'll try not
to keep you.Copy !req
386. We received...
Something
from you today,Copy !req
387. And we're not
quite sure what.Copy !req
388. It's a demand letter.Copy !req
389. Ah.Copy !req
390. Well, it was
a little confusingCopy !req
391. 'cause it was
written on, uh...Copy !req
392. Well, I had to
write it quicklyCopy !req
393. Because your clients
were in the processCopy !req
394. Of destroying evidence.Copy !req
395. Mr. Mcgill,
if you're talking about
shredding documents,Copy !req
396. That's neither
irregular nor illegal.Copy !req
397. Every business
in america does it.Copy !req
398. You say potato,
I say spoliation.
Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
399. Maybe you should
walk me through
what you're alleging here.Copy !req
400. I believe it's
all in the letter.Copy !req
401. Uh, uh,
I... I'm not
saying it's not,Copy !req
402. But it's
a bit hard to read.Copy !req
403. Next time,
I'd use double-ply.Copy !req
404. Let's not fixate
on the medium, okay?Copy !req
405. Let's look
at the message.Copy !req
406. Now, your clients
are facing multiple
counts of elder abuseCopy !req
407. And... And fraud and deceptive
and unfair trade practices,Copy !req
408. And that's
just the start, okay?Copy !req
409. I'm not a betting man,
but I bet the farm
I'll find more.Copy !req
410. Mr. Mcgill,
are you related
to charles mcgill?Copy !req
411. He's my brother.Copy !req
412. Yeah? How's
he doing these days?Copy !req
413. I... I fail to see
the relevance of this.Copy !req
414. Frankly, the only reason
that I made this phone callCopy !req
415. Was out of respect
for charlesCopy !req
416. On the off chance
that you might be
related to him.Copy !req
417. My partner suggested
that the best responseCopy !req
418. Would be to send
a rule 11 letter and
have you sanctioned,Copy !req
419. But I didn't want to jump
to that immediate length.Copy !req
420. Hey, how about you
stop trying to
rattle my cageCopy !req
421. And just, you know,
respond to the merits?Copy !req
422. This is my response,
mr. Mcgill...Copy !req
423. You have no good-faith
basis to threaten
any litigation.Copy !req
424. This is a shakedown,
and we both know it.Copy !req
425. Now, if you push
this any further,
my hands will be tied.Copy !req
426. Sorry for interrupting
your evening.Copy !req
427. Enjoy "the magic flute."Copy !req
428. Blow my magic flute.Copy !req
429. (thudding)
aah!Copy !req
430. Son of a bitch!Copy !req
431. Jimmy,
what are you doing here?Copy !req
432. Oh, uh, chuck, um...Copy !req
433. Sorry to...
Show up like this.Copy !req
434. I just needed
space to work.Copy !req
435. What is all this?Copy !req
436. What have you done
to my dining room?Copy !req
437. They were spoliating...
The sandpiper people.Copy !req
438. They wouldn't
let me in,Copy !req
439. And I could see
that they were shredding.Copy !req
440. I wrote them a demand letter,
and I gave it to them.Copy !req
441. You broke in
to a nursing home?
Assisted living.Copy !req
442. And you stole
their garbage.Copy !req
443. My god.
No, it was in public.Copy !req
444. There was no lock,
no nothing.Copy !req
445. I just lifted the lid,
and there it was.Copy !req
446. There's no reasonable
expectation of privacyCopy !req
447. In that situation,
is there?Copy !req
448. You can't say it's private
if a hobo can use it
as a wigwam.Copy !req
449. That's...
That's the standard, right?Copy !req
450. If animals
or vagrants
can get in?Copy !req
451. More or less, yes.Copy !req
452. Okay, so this
is all legal.Copy !req
453. I mean, it's completely
above-the-belt legal.Copy !req
454. I just need to figure out
what they're trying
to cover up.Copy !req
455. You know,
you don't shred like thisCopy !req
456. Unless you got something
to hide, am I right?Copy !req
457. Not necessarily.
Oh, come on, chuck.Copy !req
458. A lawyer shows up,Copy !req
459. Starts figuring out
their little scheme,
and suddenly this?Copy !req
460. No, it's not
a coincidence.
It's in here.Copy !req
461. Well,
at least it's
not crosscut.Copy !req
462. Look, you won't
even know
I'm here, okay?Copy !req
463. I just need some space
and some quiet,Copy !req
464. And I'll be out of your hair
as soon as I c...Copy !req
465. Stop, stop. It's okay.
You can work here.Copy !req
466. (sighs) thanks.Copy !req
467. I don't mind
the company.Copy !req
468. You look like
you could use
a cup of coffee.Copy !req
469. (sighs)
good god, yes.Copy !req
470. I'll put it on.Copy !req
471. Up, up. Up.Copy !req
472. Shh, shh, shh, shh.Copy !req
473. God's sweet sake.Copy !req
474. Yeah.Copy !req
475. Oh, good.
You're up.Copy !req
476. Well, Jesus, chuck,
how long have
I been asleep?Copy !req
477. Chuck, how did you...?Copy !req
478. I... I can't believe this.
Uh...Copy !req
479. Uh, thank you.
This is a huge help.Copy !req
480. I felt like I was
shoveling snow
in a blizzard.Copy !req
481. Well,
it gets better.Copy !req
482. What's this?Copy !req
483. It's your smoking gun.Copy !req
484. It's a, uh...
Invoice for syringes.Copy !req
485. Yes. From?Copy !req
486. Morrissey medical supply...
Lincoln, nebraska.Copy !req
487. So?
Trust me.Copy !req
488. Meanwhile, we need
to start pulling case law...Copy !req
489. Any precedent dealing
with 18 u.S.C. 1961 to '68.Copy !req
490. Probably not
a bad idea
to pull 30.47.1Copy !req
491. From nmsa... Uh, 1978.Copy !req
492. I don't think
that's gonna play, really,Copy !req
493. But it's a good
opening salvo for us.Copy !req
494. Wait, "us"?Copy !req
495. We're working
together on this?Copy !req
496. Mmm.
That's up to you, jimmy.Copy !req
497. 'cause...
(chuckles)Copy !req
498. (laughs)
well...Copy !req
499. (chuckles)
all right.Copy !req
500. All right. All right.
Let's get to work.Copy !req
501. Kim wexler.
Hey, gorgeous.Copy !req
502. Oh, man. Sweet-talking
right out of the gate?Copy !req
503. You want something.Copy !req
504. Make it fast.
I want to go home.Copy !req
505. Okay, okay.Copy !req
506. Will you look
something up
for me on westlaw?Copy !req
507. (sighs)
please?Copy !req
508. You're lucky
I'm a pushover.Copy !req
509. All right. Hit me.
Thank you.Copy !req
510. Uh, anything
on sedima v. Imrex,Copy !req
511. Slesinger v. Disney,
holmes v. S.I.P.C...Copy !req
512. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Slow down, slow down.
V. Disney.Copy !req
513. Holmes v. S.I...
P.C., yeah.Copy !req
514. And, uh, anything
on 57.12.1-24 nmsa, 1978.Copy !req
515. Uh, okay.Copy !req
516. It would help
if I knew what you
were looking for here.Copy !req
517. Anything, everything.Copy !req
518. What? You want me
to just read you the
head notes or something?Copy !req
519. No, no, print it...
Full cases,Copy !req
520. And any cases
that cite two of
those cases.Copy !req
521. Shepardize like
the wolf's at the door.Copy !req
522. Jesus, jimmy,
that's gonna be
thousands of pages.Copy !req
523. Pretty please
with sugar on top?Copy !req
524. (scoffs)
come on. You owe me one.Copy !req
525. Yes, I do,
but this is
gonna take hours.Copy !req
526. And who do I bill it to?Copy !req
527. Bill it to howard.Copy !req
528. I still remember
his code...Copy !req
529. 1933, same year
hitler came to power.Copy !req
530. You're not funny.
I'm not billing it
to my boss.Copy !req
531. How about yours?
I'll pay you back.Copy !req
532. Jimmy, this is
300, 400 bucks
worth of printing.Copy !req
533. The accountants will find it
and I'll get fired,Copy !req
534. Which sounds
fun and all, but no.Copy !req
535. Okay. Hold on a sec.Copy !req
536. Hey.Copy !req
537. Uh, kim can't print
without a code.Copy !req
538. Should I go over there,
take notes, and come back?Copy !req
539. No, no, no.
It would take too long.Copy !req
540. Use mine... 1868.Copy !req
541. Yeah.Copy !req
542. 1868.
Use that. It's chuck's.Copy !req
543. You're using
chuck's number?Copy !req
544. Does chuck know
you're using
chuck's number?Copy !req
545. We're working
on something together.Copy !req
546. And bring it over
to his place after.Copy !req
547. You're a lifesaver.
Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait!Copy !req
548. You're working
a case together?Copy !req
549. Yeah. Keep this
under your hat,Copy !req
550. But it's gonna be huge...Copy !req
551. Maybe
a class-action, even.Copy !req
552. We think it'll settle
for $1 million,
maybe $2 million.Copy !req
553. How does that work?Copy !req
554. Chuck's a partner at hhm.
So what?Copy !req
555. Look, I know chuck's
partnership agreement
chapter and verse.Copy !req
556. He can work
with outside parties.Copy !req
557. That clause is intended
for small-time stuff.Copy !req
558. Pro bono cases.Copy !req
559. So? I'm bono.
I'm very bono.Copy !req
560. Chuck's a rock star, okay?
They'll work it out.Copy !req
561. And chuck can handle this?Copy !req
562. Last time
I saw him, he was...Copy !req
563. Last time you saw him,
he wasn't himself, okay?Copy !req
564. This is good for him.Copy !req
565. Okay.Copy !req
566. What?Copy !req
567. I don't know.
I'm just...Copy !req
568. Whatever.
I'll see you in
a couple hours.Copy !req
569. Okay. We're ordering
a pizza, okay?Copy !req
570. I'll save you a slice.Copy !req
571. Now, you know,
if you don't
separate those,Copy !req
572. You're gonna
end up with brown.Copy !req
573. Hello?
(door closes)Copy !req
574. Hey.Copy !req
575. We're in here.
(groans)Copy !req
576. We're playing sculptor.Copy !req
577. She's michelangelina.Copy !req
578. How's work?Copy !req
579. Eh, you know... Work.Copy !req
580. How did it go?Copy !req
581. Kid's a dream.
She's easy.Copy !req
582. And you better stay
that way.Copy !req
583. How you doing,
sweetie? Huh?Copy !req
584. (smooching)
hmm?Copy !req
585. Well, I better be going.Copy !req
586. Oh, wait.
Hang on a sec,
would you?Copy !req
587. I want to talk
to you about
something.Copy !req
588. What's up?Copy !req
589. I want to know
what I should do
with this.Copy !req
590. I've been carrying it
around for weeks,Copy !req
591. Like holding on
to it.Copy !req
592. Every place
I put it feels wrong.Copy !req
593. I thought about
putting it in the
collection plate, but...Copy !req
594. It seemed...
I don't know.Copy !req
595. Look, with matty gone,
I have expenses,Copy !req
596. And the death
benefit helped, but...Copy !req
597. What I want
to ask you is...Copy !req
598. (sighs)
Can I spend this?Copy !req
599. Stace, if this money
helps you and kaylee,Copy !req
600. If it does a single
good thing in this world,Copy !req
601. Then you spend
every penny.Copy !req
602. That's a relief.
It'll help a lot.Copy !req
603. Of course, it's only
a drop in the bucket.Copy !req
604. I swear, everyone I know
has had problems with them.Copy !req
605. I had one.
The computer
in the engine...Copy !req
606. It locked in the middle
of the rockies.Copy !req
607. Yeah, it decided
I was overheating,
and that was it.Copy !req
608. Yeah. I couldn't
get it fixed for
a hundred miles.Copy !req
609. I had to have it
towed to telluride.
It was unbelievable.Copy !req
610. (beeping)
huh.Copy !req
611. No, it's...
It's the chip.
It's the little...Copy !req
612. Yeah, it's like 800 bucks,
not counting...Copy !req
613. Labor.Copy !req
614. Hey, mel,
can I call you back?Copy !req
615. Chuck,
the sandpiper
has landed.Copy !req
616. Gentlemen,
I'm jimmy mcgill.Copy !req
617. Welcome.
Rich schweikart.Copy !req
618. This is alvin reese.
Phil jergens.Copy !req
619. Thanks for coming.Copy !req
620. Oh, whoa.
I have to ask you.Copy !req
621. Uh, please
leave electronics
in the car...Copy !req
622. Laptops, blackberries,
palm pilots, watches.Copy !req
623. If you lick it
and it goes bzzt,
leave it here.Copy !req
624. Why?Copy !req
625. My brother chuck
has a certain
sensitivity.Copy !req
626. It's a medical condition.Copy !req
627. This is the price
of admission.Copy !req
628. Yeah, I heard about this.Copy !req
629. Go ahead. It's fine.Copy !req
630. Here you go.Copy !req
631. Make yourselves
comfortable,
gentlemen.Copy !req
632. I'll be right back.Copy !req
633. All right.Copy !req
634. Chuck.
Come on, buddy.Copy !req
635. I...Copy !req
636. I don't...
I don't know
if I can do this.Copy !req
637. You...
Oh, you can
do this, all right?Copy !req
638. These guys...Copy !req
639. Those guys...
They're nothing. Okay?Copy !req
640. They're the pistons,
and you're the bulls.Copy !req
641. All right?Copy !req
642. All you got to do
is sit there and
look intimidating.Copy !req
643. They're scared
of you already,
and they should be.Copy !req
644. You're charles mcgill.Copy !req
645. Let's go.
Let's go get 'em.Copy !req
646. Ah.Copy !req
647. Do you remember me,
charles?Copy !req
648. We were on a co-defense...
Church's donuts v. Amendola?Copy !req
649. Oh.Copy !req
650. It was... Jesus...
9-10 years ago.Copy !req
651. Oh, our guys
were suing
the other guys,Copy !req
652. And they were
suing us right back,Copy !req
653. And the city
had some grievance
with everyone,Copy !req
654. So we had to bundle
like four actions
together,Copy !req
655. And I was sure
that we were sunk.Copy !req
656. But you... You quoted...Copy !req
657. What was it? Huh?Copy !req
658. Addyston pipe & steel.Copy !req
659. You turned
it all antitrust,Copy !req
660. And the whole thing
went away in
summary judgment.Copy !req
661. It was amazing.
It was amazing.Copy !req
662. I figured
you'd be arguingCopy !req
663. In front of
the supreme court
someday.Copy !req
664. Well, it's, uh,
good to see you.Copy !req
665. Yeah.
(clears throat)Copy !req
666. All right, well,
let's get started.Copy !req
667. Um, we've read
your revised demand.Copy !req
668. It's, uh, quite
a laundry list.
Very creative.Copy !req
669. Yeah,
creative, like the
way your clientsCopy !req
670. Have been
billing my clients.Copy !req
671. 'cause that's like
salvador dali creative.Copy !req
672. That's cute.Copy !req
673. Y... You know,
you're not gonna
make this stick.Copy !req
674. Setting aside
evidentiary concerns...Copy !req
675. Whoa, whoa. Your guys
couldn't afford 10 bucks
for a padlock?Copy !req
676. That's on them.Copy !req
677. Public property.Copy !req
678. Maybe a judge sees
that your way,
maybe he doesn't.Copy !req
679. But the damages
for elder abuse?Copy !req
680. The statute requires
proof that there was
some undo influence...Copy !req
681. Someone threatening
the residents of
sandpiper crossing.Copy !req
682. As far as I understand it,Copy !req
683. No one has claimed
there's a guy
with a knifeCopy !req
684. Telling them to
hand over their
lunch money.Copy !req
685. There are a lot
of assisted-living
facilitiesCopy !req
686. Out there
that may be
disreputable,Copy !req
687. But that's not
the case with our client,
not even close.Copy !req
688. All their facilities...
All 12 of them...Copy !req
689. Every single one,
five-star rated.Copy !req
690. You go to any one
of them right now,Copy !req
691. And you know
what you'll see?Copy !req
692. You'll see happy,
healthy residents.Copy !req
693. Sandpiper takes care
of these people.
They don't bilk them.Copy !req
694. But we looked
into it,Copy !req
695. And some of
your clients have,
in fact, been overbilled.Copy !req
696. It's... It's an
accounting error.Copy !req
697. It doesn't rise to
the level of fraud,
not even close.Copy !req
698. We've calculated
the damages.Copy !req
699. All told, it's $46,320.Copy !req
700. Mmm-hmm,
so here's what
we're prepared to do.Copy !req
701. We're gonna make
your clients whole...Copy !req
702. A check for the $46,000
and change right now.Copy !req
703. And on top of that,Copy !req
704. We'll give you another
$46k to cover your expenses.Copy !req
705. So what's that?
$92,000?Copy !req
706. Let's call it
$100,000 even.Copy !req
707. We admit
to no wrongdoing,Copy !req
708. And your clients
release all claims.Copy !req
709. I think you're gonna
need to do better than that.Copy !req
710. Ah, this was
in your demand letter.Copy !req
711. They're syringes. So?Copy !req
712. I... I don't know
if you know this,Copy !req
713. But that's a
pretty standard itemCopy !req
714. In an
assisted-living facility.Copy !req
715. Correct. But it's not
what it is that matters.Copy !req
716. It's where it's from.Copy !req
717. Lincoln, nebraska.Copy !req
718. Go, cornhuskers.Copy !req
719. Well, since you're not
picking up
what I'm putting down,Copy !req
720. I'll explain it to you.Copy !req
721. Um, nebraska,Copy !req
722. Although they both
begin with the letter "n,"Copy !req
723. Actually turns out
to be a different state
than new mexico.Copy !req
724. So, your client
accepted shipmentsCopy !req
725. Across state lines
for its enterprise.Copy !req
726. In the u.S. Mail, no less.Copy !req
727. Are you trying to
make this a rico case?Copy !req
728. Like our client
is john gotti
or something?Copy !req
729. Well, you know
as well as I doCopy !req
730. Rico's used mostly
for business beefs.Copy !req
731. Sedima establishes
a pretty low thresholdCopy !req
732. For rico
provisions to kick in.Copy !req
733. Interstate commerce
is a bitch, huh?Copy !req
734. As soon as
we establish
a pattern to...Copy !req
735. What was your word?
Uh, "overbillings"?Copy !req
736. I prefer the classic term
of "fraud."Copy !req
737. You're looking
at treble damages.Copy !req
738. So your 100 grand...
I think you know
where you can stick it.Copy !req
739. Will you give us a moment?Copy !req
740. Well...Copy !req
741. What number exactly
did you have in mind?Copy !req
742. $20 million.Copy !req
743. Excuse me?
You heard me.Copy !req
744. Oh, you can't expect...
$20 million.Copy !req
745. Or we'll see you in court.Copy !req
746. Hmm.Copy !req
747. $20 million?Copy !req
748. Didn't you hear them?Copy !req
749. This is a big company.Copy !req
750. 12 separate facilities.Copy !req
751. They can't possibly
all be in new mexico.Copy !req
752. This is potentially
a multi-stateCopy !req
753. Federal class-action lawsuitCopy !req
754. With a rico kicker
at the penalty phase.Copy !req
755. $20 million?
That's conservative.Copy !req
756. Now, class cert...Copy !req
757. That's where we start.Copy !req
758. I'll draft our complaint,Copy !req
759. Try to get us
a conditional one.Copy !req
760. They'll try to pierce it,Copy !req
761. But it should
hold long enough
to start discovery.Copy !req
762. And we need to get you
back on the grounds,Copy !req
763. Quash this prohibition
against you.Copy !req
764. Uh, some injunctive relief.
Maybe a t.R.O.Copy !req
765. Jimmy?Copy !req
766. Do you want
to get started
on the t.R.O.?Copy !req
767. Yeah. Yes.Copy !req
768. It looks good.
No heartworm,
no mange.Copy !req
769. Where did you get her?
Shelter.Copy !req
770. Good. There's too many
puppy mills out there.Copy !req
771. I had a dachsie
in the other day.Copy !req
772. Some douche
bred her so much,Copy !req
773. Poor thing, she just had
one giant hernia for a belly.Copy !req
774. Couldn't even walk.Copy !req
775. Those people
can go straight to hell,Copy !req
776. As far
as I'm concerned.Copy !req
777. Anything else
I can do for you?Copy !req
778. You still in touch
with your people?Copy !req
779. Depends on
the type of work
you're looking for...Copy !req
