1. She's smart. She's tough.
She'll fight for ya.
Copy !req
2. I've been impressed with her
every time.
Copy !req
3. How many times
have you been sued?
Copy !req
4. Twice, just twice.
Copy !req
5. But when you run a hospital,
it's good to know
a good lawyer.
Copy !req
6. Aaron!
Copy !req
7. Janet, hi.
Copy !req
8. Oh, my gosh.
Did it happen?
Copy !req
9. Did you play Pebble Beach?
Copy !req
10. I did, and it was the worst
mistake of my life.
Copy !req
11. Hello.
Copy !req
12. I am
Dr. Shaun Murphy
Copy !req
13. of San Jose
St. Bonaventure Hospital.
Copy !req
14. - Your client.
- Yes.
Copy !req
15. Aaron has told me
a lot about you.
Copy !req
16. Congratulations
on all you—
Copy !req
17. Is this billable time?
Copy !req
18. It is.
Copy !req
19. But it will be paid for
by your insurance company.
Copy !req
20. And I have good news.
Copy !req
21. $300,000 that will be paid
by your malpractice insurance.
Copy !req
22. All you have to do
is sign some documents
Copy !req
23. and agree to
a six-month supervisory period.
Copy !req
24. You can still
practice medicine.
Copy !req
25. It just means
another doctor
Copy !req
26. would have to sign off
on all your decisions.
Copy !req
27. Excuse me.
Copy !req
28. That is not good news.
Copy !req
29. Can it be anyone?
Copy !req
30. Anyone qualified.
Copy !req
31. So Park, M-Morgan.
Copy !req
32. It could be anyone you trust.
Could be me.
Copy !req
33. I have worked very hard
to be an attending
Copy !req
34. to prove that I don't need
anyone's approval
Copy !req
35. to do what I think
should be done.
Copy !req
36. Which is often different
from what Dr. Park, or Morgan,
Copy !req
37. or you
think should be done.
Copy !req
38. Also...
it is very humiliating.
Copy !req
39. - What if he says no?
- We go to trial.
Copy !req
40. And if he loses
at trial?
Copy !req
41. The money will still be paid
by the insurance company.
Copy !req
42. But the bigger issue
is that a report,
and the court's decision,
Copy !req
43. will be sent to
the California Medical Board,
Copy !req
44. and they will make
a decision about whether...
Copy !req
45. you have a future
as a doctor.
Copy !req
46. I'll settle.
Copy !req
47. I need to go to
the bathroom.
Copy !req
48. Excuse me, excuse me,
excuse me.
Copy !req
49. You're Dr. Shaun Murphy,
Copy !req
50. - Miss Stewart's 10:00 a.m.?
- Yes, hello.
Copy !req
51. My name is Joni DeGroot.
Copy !req
52. Um... I'm curious about
cancer patients
Copy !req
53. whose exposure
came from formaldehyde
Copy !req
54. in pressed wood
office furniture.
Copy !req
55. Have you had
a case like that?
Copy !req
56. No. Nor have I read
about that.
Copy !req
57. If you have a case where
that is alleged,
Copy !req
58. - I would not be
a good consultant.
- It's not for a case.
Copy !req
59. It's...
Copy !req
60. Thank you. Thank you,
thank you, Dr. Murphy.
Copy !req
61. Tell Miss Stewart
to review my update
Copy !req
62. on Carter v. Willis
before finalizing your NDA.
Copy !req
63. The Idaho District Court made
the stare decisis vulnerable.
Copy !req
64. Are you working
on my case?
Copy !req
65. You should not be
in here.
Copy !req
66. This is my office.
Copy !req
67. No one is supposed
to come into my office.
Copy !req
68. Okay.
Copy !req
69. I'm not officially
on your case.
Copy !req
70. But I read the file.
Copy !req
71. It was amazing how you created
arterial clamps
Copy !req
72. out of pieces
of an aluminum can.
Copy !req
73. Yes. Why is everything
covered in plastic?
Copy !req
74. They're getting ready
to paint.
Copy !req
75. Oh, I thought
it was because
Copy !req
76. of your obsessive-compulsive
disorder.
Copy !req
77. I used to have a closet
for an office.
Copy !req
78. Did you choose this
instead of sharing an office?
Copy !req
79. - It's not a closet.
It's an office.
- It is very small.
Copy !req
80. Even smaller
than my closet.
Copy !req
81. This is all I need.
I don't meet with clients.
Copy !req
82. And it's very private,
so I'm not disturbed
Copy !req
83. while I'm doing
my research...
Copy !req
84. Or your rituals.
Copy !req
85. Nice to meet you,
Joni DeGroot.
Copy !req
86. You're settling
your case?
Copy !req
87. Yes.
Copy !req
88. Miss Stewart
and Dr. Glassman
say it is for the best.
Copy !req
89. Your settlement includes
a supervisory period?
Copy !req
90. Mm... yes.
Six months.
Copy !req
91. Hmm.
Copy !req
92. It doesn't seem right.
Does it?
Copy !req
93. That— That you
should be punished
Copy !req
94. for saving
a man's life?
Copy !req
95. You've overcome a lot.
Copy !req
96. To have that kind of mark
on your record...
Copy !req
97. seems very humiliating.
Copy !req
98. - I see you're still
in the big office.
- Ah.
Copy !req
99. The partner uprising wasn't
as bad as you feared, huh?
Copy !req
100. It's an ongoing battle.
Copy !req
101. Joni,
I'm with a client.
Copy !req
102. No, she is.
Copy !req
103. Joni is my lawyer now.
Copy !req
104. She will be representing me
at trial.
Copy !req
105. I have a new lawyer.
Copy !req
106. I have a new client.
Copy !req
107. How did you get the partners
to change their minds?
Copy !req
108. The client insisted
that I represent him
Copy !req
109. instead of Janet Stewart.
Copy !req
110. What?
Copy !req
111. You stole
your boss's client?
Copy !req
112. And what does Glassman
think about this?
Copy !req
113. He said it was
my decision.
Copy !req
114. Did he say that
in a neutral way
or an angry way?
Copy !req
115. Angry.
Copy !req
116. He is worried about
Joni's lack of experience.
Copy !req
117. But she's smart,
and because of her OCD,
Copy !req
118. she is very thorough
and understands my situation.
Copy !req
119. OCD.
Copy !req
120. You mean she's really
neat and organized?
Copy !req
121. No, that is not OCD.
Copy !req
122. She has repetitive
intrusive thoughts
Copy !req
123. that cause
excessive anxiety
Copy !req
124. which she manages
with ritual behavior.
Copy !req
125. And when you say
lack of experience?
Copy !req
126. This will be
her first trial.
Copy !req
127. I get to go to court.
I get to be a real lawyer.
Copy !req
128. Which is great,
very exciting,
Copy !req
129. but it's also... court.
Copy !req
130. All those people— the judge,
the jury, the other lawyers,
Copy !req
131. and everyone
looking at you...
Copy !req
132. watching while you
do that.
Copy !req
133. I'm practicing exposure
to contaminants and noises.
Copy !req
134. I can adapt.
I can hide it.
Copy !req
135. But that's the upside
of your current setup.
Copy !req
136. You don't have
to hide it.
Copy !req
137. Because they're hiding me.
Copy !req
138. Mm.
Copy !req
139. Pockets.
Copy !req
140. Your outfits for court
will need pockets.
Copy !req
141. When you need to tap,
put your hand in there,
Copy !req
142. no one will know.
Copy !req
143. Just... don't be late.
Copy !req
144. You're late.
Copy !req
145. I thought you had this
worked out.
Copy !req
146. I know, I know, I know. Sorry.
Copy !req
147. The— The bus stalled
right in the middle
of Hastings.
Copy !req
148. Do you want me to call the VTA
and check if that's true?
Copy !req
149. No.
Copy !req
150. Sorry.
It won't happen again.
Copy !req
151. The night of the accident,
you were coming from where?
Copy !req
152. I was giving Shaun
a lift home.
Copy !req
153. We had grabbed dinner
together after work.
Copy !req
154. Did either of you
have alcohol with dinner?
Copy !req
155. I, uh... had a beer,
Copy !req
156. and, um, Shaun didn't.
Copy !req
157. Joni, your tapping
is distracting Dr. Park.
Copy !req
158. I'm okay.
Copy !req
159. Tap three times
or bad things will happen.
Copy !req
160. Your shift that day,
how long was it?
Copy !req
161. Did you or Dr. Murphy
have any difficult surgeries?
Copy !req
162. Uh, nothing unusual.
Copy !req
163. I had an appendectomy,
Copy !req
164. 22-year-old patient,
no issues.
Copy !req
165. Tap three times
or bad things will happen.
Copy !req
166. Shaun performed
a bowel resection.
Copy !req
167. Tap three times
or bad things will happen.
Copy !req
168. Tap three times
or bad things will happen.
Copy !req
169. Joni...
Copy !req
170. Tap three times
or bad things will happen.
Copy !req
171. Joni.
Copy !req
172. I'm sure you have
more questions for Dr. Park.
Copy !req
173. You and Dr. Murphy left
the restaurant
around what time?
Copy !req
174. Uh, a little
after 10:30 p.m.
Copy !req
175. We were on Hellyer,
Copy !req
176. coming through the wooded
section of the park...
Copy !req
177. and between the rain
and the turns,
Copy !req
178. I was driving
pretty slowly.
Copy !req
179. Good thing—
there was a car in the road.
Copy !req
180. I'm a doctor.
My name is Alex Park.
Copy !req
181. - I need to examine—
- Where is Bob?
Copy !req
182. I need you to hold still.
Scalp laceration.
Copy !req
183. Was there anyone else
in the car?
Copy !req
184. Yes. My brother, Bob.
Copy !req
185. He was driving.
Copy !req
186. Hello?
Copy !req
187. He was thrown out.
Copy !req
188. Bob?
Copy !req
189. Bob!
Copy !req
190. I found Bob!
Copy !req
191. He is bleeding
from his radial artery.
Copy !req
192. We need to move him!
Copy !req
193. I can't leave her!
Copy !req
194. Okay, Bob.
Copy !req
195. That's wrong.
Copy !req
196. What?
Copy !req
197. You didn't bring him
that way.
Copy !req
198. Oh. Yes, I did.
Copy !req
199. No, you didn't.
Copy !req
200. Yes, he did.
Copy !req
201. No, he didn't.
You couldn't have.
There was a log there.
Copy !req
202. Most people's brains
prioritize details,
Copy !req
203. weed out what seems unimportant.
Copy !req
204. My brain doesn't.
Copy !req
205. Why does it matter what route
Shaun took out of the woods?
Copy !req
206. - The case is ab—
- It matters
Copy !req
207. because
if that way was blocked,
Copy !req
208. I must have
taken him this way.
Copy !req
209. I would've had to angle
the spinal board,
Copy !req
210. which could've caused
neurological injury,
Copy !req
211. which could mean
my neuro exam was off,
which could mean...
Copy !req
212. I didn't need
to amputate his hand.
Copy !req
213. This seems like a good time
for a break.
Copy !req
214. Tell me about your decision
to amputate
the plaintiff's hand.
Copy !req
215. His breathing became labored,
and his pulse was thready.
Copy !req
216. He had no capillary refill.
Copy !req
217. His hand
was irreversibly damaged
from lack of blood flow.
Copy !req
218. It was leaking toxins
that would stop his heart
Copy !req
219. before he reached
the hospital.
Copy !req
220. I need to amputate
his hand.
Copy !req
221. The ambulance
is two minutes away.
Copy !req
222. But ambulances
do not carry amputation kits.
Copy !req
223. There is no time.
Copy !req
224. Once I removed
the hand...
Copy !req
225. we traveled safely
to the hospital.
Copy !req
226. That's... not quite
how I remember it.
Copy !req
227. The ambulance
is two minutes away!
Copy !req
228. I need to amputate
his hand.
Copy !req
229. There's no time.
Copy !req
230. Shaun!
It could be a vasospasm!
Copy !req
231. The ambulance is here!
Copy !req
232. They'll have
a calcium channel blocker
Copy !req
233. that might restore
the blood flow!
Copy !req
234. Shaun, are you sure?
Copy !req
235. Interesting.
Copy !req
236. This is a disaster.
Copy !req
237. He has to settle.
Copy !req
238. You have to talk him
into accepting the settlement.
Copy !req
239. No, it doesn't change
the underlying merits...
Copy !req
240. It changes the testimony.
Copy !req
241. It changes our testimony.
Copy !req
242. One of our witnesses
is going to testify
that our client screwed up.
Copy !req
243. His view of the accident
is almost exactly
what their expert—
Copy !req
244. What are you doing?
Copy !req
245. I'll talk to Dr. Park
and counsel him—
Copy !req
246. No.
I mean to my books.
Copy !req
247. I straightened one.
Or two.
Copy !req
248. Listen to me.
Copy !req
249. Taking this case
to trial, with that client
Copy !req
250. and you as counsel,
is a terrible idea.
Copy !req
251. Fix this
or bad things will happen.
Copy !req
252. You cannot win a case if
the jury doesn't like you...
Copy !req
253. if you make them uncomfortable.
Copy !req
254. - Fix this
or bad things will happen.
- Cases are stories.
Copy !req
255. Fix this or bad things
will happen.
Copy !req
256. And we write it all.
Except the ending.
Copy !req
257. Fix this
or bad things will happen.
Copy !req
258. Fix this or bad things
will happen.
Copy !req
259. You can't control yourself
in my office.
Copy !req
260. How are you gonna
control yourself in court?
Copy !req
261. Texas v. Marquez.
Copy !req
262. What?
Copy !req
263. 425 Federal Digest,
page 734.
Copy !req
264. Um, you're gonna have
to give me a little more—
Copy !req
265. Owen Marquez was caught
entering his high school
carrying a Swiss army knife.
Copy !req
266. He was charged with
being on school property
with a weapon.
Copy !req
267. But they'd set up
the metal detectors
Copy !req
268. outside the front door.
Copy !req
269. The case was dismissed.
Copy !req
270. Interesting.
Copy !req
271. But different state,
different court, different law.
Copy !req
272. - Same principle.
- I don't think I can convince
a judge that that is—
Copy !req
273. Let me try.
Copy !req
274. Oh, I have to go.
Copy !req
275. Stop. Stop. Stop.
Copy !req
276. I'm about to test the lactate
levels in Bob's hand.
Copy !req
277. This will prove definitively
if I was right to amputate.
Copy !req
278. No. This will
tell you nothing.
Copy !req
279. Medically, it will.
Copy !req
280. Legally, morally,
this'll tell you nothing.
Copy !req
281. This test will tell me
the truth.
Copy !req
282. Was... that a laugh?
Copy !req
283. It was a scoff.
Copy !req
284. Why would you scoff
at the truth?
Copy !req
285. What truth?
Copy !req
286. There's only one.
Copy !req
287. There's a single correct answer
to any question.
Copy !req
288. But there are a lot
of questions.
Copy !req
289. You're asking, "What was
the right thing to do then,
Copy !req
290. given what
you know now?"
Copy !req
291. Which is
a stupid question.
Copy !req
292. I don't like to use
the word "stupid."
Copy !req
293. "Desperate" then.
For an answer.
Copy !req
294. But whatever
that test says,
Copy !req
295. we have to share it
with the other side.
Copy !req
296. If it goes the way
you want, we will definitely
win your case.
Copy !req
297. If it goes the other way,
we will definitely
lose your case.
Copy !req
298. But neither result
will tell you
if you did the right thing,
Copy !req
299. given what you knew
at the time.
Copy !req
300. So the real
question here is—
Copy !req
301. Do you believe in that test
more than you believe in me?
Copy !req
302. Why?
Copy !req
303. Why am I doing
what you just asked me to do?
Copy !req
304. Why do you have
so much confidence in me?
Copy !req
305. I'm a lawyer with OCD.
Copy !req
306. I work out of a closet.
Copy !req
307. I was late to the only meeting
you had with me.
Copy !req
308. Why do you trust me
more than the test?
Copy !req
309. Because the test
doesn't care.
Copy !req
310. That's a good answer.
Copy !req
311. Hm.
Copy !req
312. We're gonna have a motion to
dismiss tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.
Copy !req
313. Don't be late.
Copy !req
314. One, two, three.
Copy !req
315. One, two...
Copy !req
316. We'll be okay.
Copy !req
317. Only if
I do this right.
Copy !req
318. Now I have
to start over.
Copy !req
319. One, two, three.
One, two, three.
Copy !req
320. Mom will be okay.
Copy !req
321. One, two, three.
Copy !req
322. One, two, three.
Copy !req
323. Joni DeGroot for the defense,
Your Honor.
Copy !req
324. Yes, I can see your name
right here
on top of your brief.
Copy !req
325. Excellent. May I say
what a privilege it is—
Copy !req
326. No.
No, you may not.
Copy !req
327. You are just here
to argue this motion,
Copy !req
328. which...
is a novel argument.
Copy !req
329. Thank you, Your Honor.
Copy !req
330. It wasn't completely
a compliment.
Copy !req
331. Dr. Murphy cannot
be held liable
Copy !req
332. for professional misconduct
because Dr. Murphy
Copy !req
333. was not acting
in a professional capacity.
Copy !req
334. He was a Good Samaritan.
Copy !req
335. And you're taking
the position
Copy !req
336. that The Good Samaritan
exception stayed in effect
Copy !req
337. even after
the ambulance arrived?
Copy !req
338. Yes, because
he didn't do the amputation
in the ambulance.
Copy !req
339. He was outside
the ambulance.
Copy !req
340. He chose not to do the
amputation in the ambulance.
Copy !req
341. To save your client's life.
He had no time.
Copy !req
342. The ambulance
was right there.
Copy !req
343. Right there?
What does that mean?
Copy !req
344. Would it have been
"right there"
if he was 10 feet away?
Copy !req
345. 100 feet?
Or a half a mile?
Copy !req
346. All interesting questions
for another case.
Copy !req
347. He was five feet away.
Copy !req
348. Outside is outside.
Copy !req
349. The statute
specifies protection
if the care happens
Copy !req
350. at the scene
of an emergency.
Copy !req
351. Counsel is using a technical
distinction that—
Copy !req
352. Counsel is using the law.
Copy !req
353. Statutory interpretation rules
require, Your Honor,
Copy !req
354. to "give effect, if possible,
to every clause
Copy !req
355. and word of a statute,
avoiding, if it may be,
Copy !req
356. any construction which implies
that the legislature..."-
Copy !req
357. Two more squeaks.
Copy !req
358. Two more squeaks.
Copy !req
359. Two more squeaks.
Two more squeaks.
Copy !req
360. You just stopped?
Copy !req
361. I lost my train
of thought.
Copy !req
362. You said you didn't think
you could win this motion—
Copy !req
363. I would've finished it.
Copy !req
364. I...
Copy !req
365. I heard a squeak.
Copy !req
366. I needed two more squeaks
to complete the set.
Copy !req
367. They pulled
the settlement offer.
Copy !req
368. And... the partners met.
Copy !req
369. You're off the case.
Copy !req
370. - They told you—
- Mm.
The vote was unanimous.
Copy !req
371. You are
a good researcher.
Copy !req
372. You are a database
that thinks.
Copy !req
373. But you need to accept
that you are not,
Copy !req
374. and you are never going to be,
a good lawyer.
Copy !req
375. No, no, no.
Copy !req
376. Joni is my lawyer.
Copy !req
377. It is my case,
my choice.
Copy !req
378. And your career
that's riding on this.
Copy !req
379. Joni's deficits
are more significant
Copy !req
380. than you think they are.
Copy !req
381. Everybody said that about me.
Everybody was wr—
Copy !req
382. Do you know why her office
is a closet?
Copy !req
383. Joni has had issues
since she started here.
Copy !req
384. She was late a lot.
Copy !req
385. Her first assignment,
her first motion,
she missed it.
Copy !req
386. She must have had
a good reason.
Copy !req
387. She saw
someone drowning.
Copy !req
388. Oh.
Copy !req
389. She was on her way
to court,
Copy !req
390. driving by the bay,
and she saw something.
Copy !req
391. She stopped,
called the police.
Copy !req
392. They shut down the road,
searched the water.
Copy !req
393. Joni knew she saw...
Copy !req
394. a log, a wave—
nothing.
Copy !req
395. But her mind wouldn't let her
accept that it was nothing.
Copy !req
396. We found out this had happened
twice before.
Copy !req
397. Why didn't you fire her?
Copy !req
398. Because she threatened
to sue us,
Copy !req
399. arguing that firing her
would be a violation
Copy !req
400. of the American's
With Disabilities Act.
Copy !req
401. - Was it?
- I'm not sure.
I don't think so.
Copy !req
402. But this brief
that she wrote...
Copy !req
403. most impressive thing
I've ever read.
Copy !req
404. So she doesn't need
an office,
Copy !req
405. because she doesn't need
to meet with clients
because she does research.
Copy !req
406. Just research.
Copy !req
407. She cannot be
your trial attorney.
Copy !req
408. - I hate her.
- I don't.
Copy !req
409. She stuffed you in a closet.
Set you up to fail.
Copy !req
410. You know
she's done more.
Copy !req
411. She hired me.
She saved—
Copy !req
412. She sent you to court
on your own.
Copy !req
413. What was she expecting?
Copy !req
414. She expected me to do the job.
So did I.
Copy !req
415. She could've
been there...
Copy !req
416. It was my idea,
my argument, my case...
Copy !req
417. my failure.
Copy !req
418. Why do you want
to be a lawyer?
Copy !req
419. Why did you
threaten to sue?
Copy !req
420. Why do you want
to be there?
Copy !req
421. They're a very good
firm—
Copy !req
422. i-interesting files,
important cases,
Copy !req
423. and it's not like
I have huge options—
Copy !req
424. No. I meant...
Copy !req
425. why do you want
to be a lawyer?
Copy !req
426. A lawyer
saved our family.
Copy !req
427. Our father died
in a car accident
when I was 8.
Copy !req
428. That's when
my OCD started.
Copy !req
429. I was very worried
that my mother would die, too.
Copy !req
430. So you developed rituals
meant to prevent it?
Copy !req
431. Mm.
Copy !req
432. And she didn't die.
Copy !req
433. But she did drink.
Copy !req
434. Bad things happened.
Copy !req
435. A lot of people
made a lot of mistakes—
Copy !req
436. our mother, some overworked
social workers,
Copy !req
437. some foster parents,
a judge.
Copy !req
438. But one person
made it all right again—
Copy !req
439. a lawyer.
Copy !req
440. Joni...
Copy !req
441. I still want you
as my lawyer.
Copy !req
442. Dr. Murphy,
I made a huge mistake.
Copy !req
443. Because...
Copy !req
444. I have a problem.
Copy !req
445. We all have problems.
Copy !req
446. I'll talk to Janet.
Copy !req
447. Dr. Murphy wants you
as first chair.
So you're first chair.
Copy !req
448. - I'm first chair?
- You are not first chair.
Copy !req
449. I'm not first chair.
Copy !req
450. You are a figurehead.
Copy !req
451. You will sit
in your first chair and
you will not say a word.
Copy !req
452. You will not stand up.
You will not object.
Copy !req
453. If you have to tap,
you will tap quietly...
Copy !req
454. on your leg.
Copy !req
455. Now wish me luck.
Copy !req
456. Good luck.
Copy !req
457. In your expert opinion,
when Dr. Murphy
Copy !req
458. concluded that
my client's hand
Copy !req
459. was irreversibly damaged
and needed to be amputated—
Copy !req
460. He was wrong.
Copy !req
461. The lack of blood flow
was caused
Copy !req
462. by a temporary condition
known as vasospasm,
Copy !req
463. which can occur after a trauma
such as a car accident.
Copy !req
464. Vessels temporarily clamp down,
cutting off the flow of blood.
Copy !req
465. In this case, Mr. Patton's
ulnar artery spasmed.
Copy !req
466. And this condition
is treatable?
Copy !req
467. Yes— with an injection
of calcium channel blocker,
Copy !req
468. which was available
in the ambulance that night.
Copy !req
469. Hm.
Copy !req
470. Thank you.
Copy !req
471. Your witness.
Copy !req
472. Any last minute ideas?
Copy !req
473. Anything we can challenge him
on medically?
Copy !req
474. It wasn't vasospasm.
Copy !req
475. Anything we could
prove?
Copy !req
476. No.
Copy !req
477. Dr. Rutenberg,
are you being paid
Copy !req
478. - by the Plaintiff's attorney
for your testimony today?
- I am.
Copy !req
479. Then you can
hardly consider yourself
unbiased, can you?
Copy !req
480. It's routine for experts
to be paid.
Copy !req
481. You're being paid.
Copy !req
482. And I admit,
I am biased—
Copy !req
483. Excuse me, excuse me,
excuse me.
Copy !req
484. Traumatic vasospasm doesn't
occur in isolated vessels,
Copy !req
485. but rather the entire
affected limb, right?
Copy !req
486. Yes, of course.
Copy !req
487. Can you
visually identify
Copy !req
488. a damaged or occluded vessel
versus one in vasospasm?
Copy !req
489. Yes.
Copy !req
490. So...
Copy !req
491. this one?
Copy !req
492. Occluded.
Copy !req
493. Vasospasm.
Copy !req
494. Vasospasm.
Copy !req
495. Occluded.
Copy !req
496. Not vasospasm?
Copy !req
497. - No.
- Objection, Your Honor.
Copy !req
498. Is this testimony
or the MCAT?
Copy !req
499. Goes to the witness'
expertise.
Copy !req
500. Oh, he's definitely
an expert.
Copy !req
501. That last photo,
which did not show vasospasm,
Copy !req
502. that was a pathology image
of Mr. Patton's radial artery.
Copy !req
503. And if his radial artery
didn't vasospasm,
Copy !req
504. then according to
your expert testimony,
Copy !req
505. his ulnar artery
didn't either.
Copy !req
506. Is that correct?
Copy !req
507. It's possible.
Copy !req
508. But we'd only know for sure
if Dr. Murphy had given
the calcium channel blocker.
Copy !req
509. - I'm sorry.
- You're not great
at taking direction, are you?
Copy !req
510. - No, I shouldn't—
- And you only still
have a job
Copy !req
511. - because you threatened
to sue us.
- I'm sorry!
Copy !req
512. I'm not wanted
in a lot of places.
Copy !req
513. I make people feel uncomfortable.
Copy !req
514. If I let that stop me,
I wouldn't be anywhere.
Copy !req
515. At my first job,
I was the only
female associate.
Copy !req
516. Tomorrow...
Copy !req
517. you're first chair.
Copy !req
518. Actual first chair.
Copy !req
519. Good luck.
Copy !req
520. Nice work.
This is good stuff.
Copy !req
521. - Thank you.
- The carpal tunnel research
is really interesting.
Copy !req
522. A pre-existing condition
mitigates our client's respon—
Copy !req
523. I'm not gonna use that.
Copy !req
524. It could help
reduce damages.
Copy !req
525. If damages are even $1,
it means
Dr. Murphy was negligent,
Copy !req
526. which means his medical license
would be at risk.
Copy !req
527. We need total victory.
Copy !req
528. Okay. So what's
your theory on this?
Copy !req
529. How are you going to approach
this witness?
Copy !req
530. I'm going to establish
that he's a dick.
Copy !req
531. I can't do my job.
Copy !req
532. I can't even hold my niece.
Copy !req
533. Thank you.
Copy !req
534. No more questions,
Your Honor.
Copy !req
535. Dr. Murphy
saved your life.
Copy !req
536. Is that a question?
Copy !req
537. Not really.
Seems pretty obvious.
Copy !req
538. - I meant—
- I know what you meant.
I'll rephrase.
Copy !req
539. What kind of person sues
a person who saved their life?
Copy !req
540. Do you sue people who buy you
Christmas presents
Copy !req
541. you don't want,
or only the weird ones
Copy !req
542. you figure the jury
won't like?
Copy !req
543. Objection— compound
and argumentative.
Copy !req
544. Sustained.
Copy !req
545. I'm the victim here.
Copy !req
546. You were driving, right?
Copy !req
547. - Yes.
- Over the speed limit?
Copy !req
548. I'm not sure.
Copy !req
549. According to police analysis
of your skid marks...
Copy !req
550. - Yes. A little.
- ... you were going at least
70 in 40 zone.
Copy !req
551. - You were ejected
out the car window?
- Yes.
Copy !req
552. So you weren't wearing
a seat belt?
Copy !req
553. - I'm not sure.
- It was fastened
behind you.
Copy !req
554. Yes.
Copy !req
555. So all things considered,
Copy !req
556. maybe a better adjective
than "victim" would be "lucky".
Copy !req
557. Withdrawn.
Copy !req
558. Do you feel any guilt
over any of this?
Copy !req
559. You're asking me
if I feel guilty
Copy !req
560. - about wanting to be
compensated for losing—
- No.
Copy !req
561. I am asking you
if you feel guilty
Copy !req
562. about driving recklessly,
flipping your car,
Copy !req
563. and almost
killing your sister...
Copy !req
564. the mother
of your niece?
Copy !req
565. Yeah, a little.
Copy !req
566. Is she suing you f—
Copy !req
567. Two more squeaks.
Copy !req
568. Two more squeaks.
Two more squeaks.
Copy !req
569. Counsel,
do we have a problem?
Copy !req
570. Again?
Copy !req
571. Uh, one moment.
Copy !req
572. Don't win cheap.
You're better than this...
Copy !req
573. I am fighting
for my client.
Copy !req
574. If she can't handle
a little adversity,
Copy !req
575. then she shouldn't
be here.
Copy !req
576. Don't let that dick
prove people like me right.
Copy !req
577. Hey, hey, hey.
Copy !req
578. Miss Stewart,
I will hold you in contempt.
Copy !req
579. If Dr. Murphy had been
a not nice person
Copy !req
580. and just driven on,
you'd be dead.
Copy !req
581. And his career wouldn't
hang in the balance.
Copy !req
582. Uh, objection.
Copy !req
583. - Calls for speculation.
- Not a lot.
Copy !req
584. The objection
is sustained.
Copy !req
585. Miss Stewart,
I am finding you
in contempt.
Copy !req
586. That stunt
just cost you $5,000.
Copy !req
587. You're lucky
it's not assault.
Copy !req
588. Now, Miss DeGroot...
Copy !req
589. you may continue.
Copy !req
590. - Thank you, Your Honor.
- Thank you, Your Honor.
Copy !req
591. Mr. Patton, the night
of the accident...
Copy !req
592. - Hey.
- I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
593. - I know that it
happened again...
- Shut up.
Copy !req
594. You're doing fantastic.
Copy !req
595. But you still have
Murphy's testimony.
Copy !req
596. We need the jury
to like him.
Copy !req
597. They need to think
he did nothing wrong.
Copy !req
598. Have you given thought to how
you're gonna do that?
Copy !req
599. Yes. I have.
Copy !req
600. Did you do anything wrong
at the scene of the accident?
Copy !req
601. Objection. Leading.
Copy !req
602. Yes.
Copy !req
603. Withdrawn.
Copy !req
604. I did
four things wrong.
Copy !req
605. I applied the tourniquet
at the brachial artery
Copy !req
606. instead of mid-forearm.
Copy !req
607. I laid out the clamps after
the makeshift vascular clips.
Copy !req
608. I only did two wipe downs
of the surgical field,
Copy !req
609. and I angled the spinal board
as I moved Mr. Patton
Copy !req
610. out of the woods
because a log was in the way.
Copy !req
611. Were any of those mistakes
relevant?
Copy !req
612. They were to me.
Copy !req
613. But I don't believe they
affected the patient's outcome.
Copy !req
614. Given where you sit today,
right now,
Copy !req
615. do you think one of the things
that you and Dr. Park
did wrong... was stopping?
Copy !req
616. No. Then Mr. Patton
would be dead.
Copy !req
617. And the amputation,
was that the right thing
to do?
Copy !req
618. I don't know.
Copy !req
619. But I know that if I had
to do it all over again...
Copy !req
620. I would stop,
Copy !req
621. I would help,
Copy !req
622. and I would amputate.
Copy !req
623. Dr. Murphy,
you're different.
Copy !req
624. Tell me about yourself.
Copy !req
625. Objection.
Vague and irrelevant.
Copy !req
626. Your challenges,
the obstacles
you've overcome...
Copy !req
627. Marginally less vague,
still completely irrelevant.
Copy !req
628. And yet, I will allow.
Copy !req
629. I have autism
spectrum disorder.
Copy !req
630. I have always had
autism spectrum disorder.
Copy !req
631. I have also always wanted
to be a doctor.
Copy !req
632. Many people thought that
couldn't happen, but I saved...
Copy !req
633. Hi.
Copy !req
634. I think I'm better
at asking questions
than giving speeches.
Copy !req
635. Closings are tricky.
Copy !req
636. It helps to actually
say the words,
Copy !req
637. not just mutter them.
Copy !req
638. Can I say them now?
Copy !req
639. You want my feedback?
Copy !req
640. If I don't like it,
I'm going to tell you, bluntly.
You know that, right?
Copy !req
641. 'Cause you've been so tactful
with me up till now?
Copy !req
642. My mentor told me that
criminal law is about justice,
Copy !req
643. whereas civil law is about
one thing and one thing only—
Copy !req
644. money.
Copy !req
645. You can't undo
what's been done.
Copy !req
646. The best you can do
is compensate, financially.
Copy !req
647. But that's wrong.
Copy !req
648. Everything we do in this room
is about justice.
Copy !req
649. We can't change
what's happened,
Copy !req
650. but maybe, just maybe,
we can change
what will happen.
Copy !req
651. We can encourage
people to care, to care
about strangers, to care—
Copy !req
652. That's not your closing.
Copy !req
653. - It's a good closing.
- It's a very good closing.
Copy !req
654. It was your closing.
A long time ago.
Copy !req
655. My mentor
said that to me.
Copy !req
656. I developed it into
an effective clos—
Copy !req
657. Did you believe it?
Copy !req
658. About justice?
That we can change the future?
Copy !req
659. I did.
Copy !req
660. But not anymore?
Copy !req
661. Maybe if my mentor
gave me advice,
Copy !req
662. I could turn it into
something effective.
Copy !req
663. You consider me a mentor?
Copy !req
664. You did inspire me.
Copy !req
665. I will
give you one piece of advice.
Copy !req
666. You're not me.
Copy !req
667. Not once in this trial
have you done
Copy !req
668. what I would've done.
Copy !req
669. Or what I wanted you
to do.
Copy !req
670. So far, it's worked.
Copy !req
671. I see no reason
to change now.
Copy !req
672. My mentor told me...
Copy !req
673. My mentor told me...
Copy !req
674. My mentor told me...
Copy !req
675. that people
don't like me.
Copy !req
676. That I make them uncomfortable.
Copy !req
677. She's right.
Copy !req
678. And people don't like
my client either.
Copy !req
679. We're different.
Copy !req
680. But we're all different.
Copy !req
681. You— You've worn purple
every day of this trial.
Copy !req
682. I assume
because you love it.
Copy !req
683. And 'cause you want it
to be your "thing."
Copy !req
684. You've got
those mutton chops.
Copy !req
685. They're great.
They're fun.
Copy !req
686. They make you... you.
Copy !req
687. But when we start
to get judged
based on our differences,
Copy !req
688. it's not fun anymore.
Copy !req
689. And fair enough,
this is a courtroom.
Copy !req
690. You are literally here
to judge my client.
Copy !req
691. But please don't judge him
based on the way that he talks,
Copy !req
692. or on how he doesn't
look at you,
Copy !req
693. or on
his awkward mannerisms.
Copy !req
694. Judge him...
Copy !req
695. on who he is.
Copy !req
696. At every moment of his life,
he has tried to make
a difference,
Copy !req
697. tried to make things
a little better.
Copy !req
698. Please don't punish him
for that.
Copy !req
699. Please...
Copy !req
700. do what the plaintiff
should've done.
Copy !req
701. Say thank you.
Copy !req
702. You are a good lawyer.
Copy !req
703. Thank you.
Copy !req
704. The jury's back.
Copy !req
705. I won, Mom.
Copy !req
706. She was brilliant.
Copy !req
707. I think you need
to seriously consider
picking a new favorite child.
Copy !req
708. We gotta go, Mom.
Copy !req
709. People are buying Joni
lots of drinks.
We love you.
Copy !req
710. I never doubted you.
Copy !req
711. Yeah, you did.
Copy !req
712. Because you love me.
Copy !req
713. Shaun!
Copy !req
714. Oh, Joni.
Tequila, stat!
Copy !req
715. We did good, huh?
Copy !req
716. We did very well.
Copy !req
717. We need to celebrate.
Copy !req
718. We are celebrating.
Copy !req
719. This is definitely not what you
want to be doing right now.
Copy !req
720. - Don't you want
to see this?
- Nope. Not my thing.
Copy !req
