- That's it.

You had a restaurant you were opening,
right?

the plumbing.

I lost a lot of weight since then.

With your money.

87
00:06:00,443 --> 00:06:04,738
So, what happened with the bar?
You just had to be a rock star, huh?

88
00:06:04,864 --> 00:06:09,242
Shit, man. I want to listen to Larry King,
I go home and put the ****ing TV on.

89

That was a good location.

Yeah, that's what my partner
kept telling me.

- (Man) 'Michael.'

95

- Walter.
- 'Michael, thank God, there you are.

a big problem.

- Where?

101

'Westchester. I'm here in Bermuda.
He just got me up, I'm half asleep here.'

102
00:07:20,398 --> 00:07:21,523
Is he drunk?

103
00:07:21,649 --> 00:07:24,818
'No. It's the first thing I asked him.
He's good, he's sober.'

104
00:07:24,944 --> 00:07:26,611
Tell him to stay off the phone.

105
00:07:26,737 --> 00:07:29,030
'But you on it, right?
Can you get up there?

106

'This guy is a huge client, Michael.
This is half my book, this guy.'

107
00:07:33,703 --> 00:07:35,954
I'm walking to the car right now.

108

'Let me call him back

and I'll get back to you with the details.'

110
00:07:42,545 --> 00:07:44,629
All right. I'll be in the car.

111
00:08:37,934 --> 00:08:42,062
They changed the grade there.
They widened the street.

112
00:08:42,188 --> 00:08:45,106
I'm sure someone told them
that was an improvement.

113
00:08:45,233 --> 00:08:49,736
But now, when it rains and there is fog,
and with this new angle...

114
00:08:49,862 --> 00:08:53,490
And they've got these new,
these, these...

115
00:08:53,616 --> 00:08:57,577
these sodium lamps, it's blinding,
that corner is just blinding.

116
00:08:57,703 --> 00:08:59,621
They'll have to work that out.

117
00:08:59,747 --> 00:09:02,165
It's not tonight.
I'm saying this for years.

118
00:09:02,291 --> 00:09:07,045
How many times have we talked
about that corner? Dell?

119
00:09:07,171 --> 00:09:09,464
Mr Greer, we don't have
a lot of time here.

120
00:09:09,590 --> 00:09:14,553
So, the circumstances, the road
conditions hold no interest for you?

121
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,764
What interests me is finding
a strong criminal attorney

122
00:09:17,890 --> 00:09:19,391
that can be here in 1 5 minutes.

123
00:09:19,517 --> 00:09:22,811
Well...that sounds ominous.

124
00:09:22,937 --> 00:09:25,605
We've some good relationships
here in Westchester.

125
00:09:25,731 --> 00:09:28,650
So, what are you? What are you?
You're not a lawyer?

126
00:09:28,776 --> 00:09:30,777
- Not the kind you need.
- What is that?

127
00:09:30,903 --> 00:09:34,948
A trial lawyer who can see this
all the way. That's not what I do.

128
00:09:35,074 --> 00:09:38,785
OK. I think we're gonna have to pull
Walter back in on this.

129
00:09:38,911 --> 00:09:41,705
I wanna get Walter back on the phone
and into the mix.

130
00:09:41,831 --> 00:09:45,709
Because, I'll be frank with you,
I don't like the way this is going.

131
00:09:45,835 --> 00:09:49,462
We don't have time for him.
Your options are gonna get smaller.

132
00:09:49,589 --> 00:09:51,798
What options?
I'm not hearing any!

133
00:09:51,924 --> 00:09:56,303
I'm suggesting you go local. There are
people here that I like for this.

134
00:09:56,429 --> 00:10:00,682
Great. That's it? That's what you got
for me? Hey, you believe this?

135
00:10:00,808 --> 00:10:02,642
I've been a client at Kenner, Bach
for 1 2 years!

136
00:10:02,768 --> 00:10:06,313
Do you think I've paid that retainer
so I get a place at the back of the line?

137
00:10:06,439 --> 00:10:10,358
Mr Greer, you left the scene
of an accident on a slow weeknight

138
00:10:10,484 --> 00:10:12,902
six miles
from the State Police barracks.

139
00:10:13,029 --> 00:10:15,196
If there's a line,
you're right up front.

140
00:10:15,323 --> 00:10:18,325
I can get a lawyer any time.
I don't need you for that.

141
00:10:18,451 --> 00:10:22,329
We're not sitting here for 45 minutes
waiting for a goddamn referral!

142
00:10:22,455 --> 00:10:24,039
I don't know what Walter promised you,
but I...

143
00:10:24,123 --> 00:10:28,043
A miracle worker! That's Walter
on the phone, 20 minutes ago.

144
00:10:28,169 --> 00:10:31,129
Direct quote: "Hang tight.
I'm sending you a miracle worker."

145
00:10:31,255 --> 00:10:32,964
- He misspoke.
- About what?

146
00:10:33,090 --> 00:10:35,634
The fact you're the firm's fixer?
Or that you're good?

147
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,761
- Elliot.
- Shh!

148
00:10:37,887 --> 00:10:40,805
The guy was running! In the street!

149
00:10:40,931 --> 00:10:46,978
You take that, you add the fog,
you add the lamps, you add the angle.

150
00:10:47,104 --> 00:10:50,607
What is he doing running in the middle
of the street at midnight?

151
00:10:50,733 --> 00:10:52,150
You answer me that!

152
00:10:52,276 --> 00:10:54,152
(Glass shatters)

153
00:11:06,582 --> 00:11:08,833
What if someone had stolen the car?

154
00:11:10,503 --> 00:11:13,421
Huh? Happens all the time.

155
00:11:13,547 --> 00:11:17,801
Cops like hit-and-runs. They work them
hard, they clear them fast.

156
00:11:17,927 --> 00:11:20,720
Right now there's a BCI unit
pulling paint chips off a guard rail.

157
00:11:20,846 --> 00:11:26,685
Tomorrow they'll look for the owner
of a custom-painted Jaguar XJ-1 2.

158
00:11:26,811 --> 00:11:28,853
And the guy you hit?

159
00:11:28,979 --> 00:11:32,190
If he got a look at the plates,
it won't even take that long.

160
00:11:32,316 --> 00:11:35,485
(Phone rings)

161
00:11:35,611 --> 00:11:37,696
There's no play here.

162
00:11:37,822 --> 00:11:40,323
There's no angle.
There's no champagne room.

163
00:11:40,449 --> 00:11:43,576
I'm not a miracle worker,
I'm a janitor.

164
00:11:43,703 --> 00:11:45,578
The math on this is simple.

165
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:49,666
The smaller the mess,
the easier it is for me to clean up.

166
00:11:49,792 --> 00:11:53,920
That's the...police, isn't it?

167
00:11:54,046 --> 00:11:56,089
No.

168
00:11:56,215 --> 00:11:57,966
They don't call.

169
00:12:02,638 --> 00:12:04,055
Hello.

170
00:12:05,182 --> 00:12:07,475
Jerry, it's Michael Clayton.

171
00:12:07,601 --> 00:12:10,145
Yeah, look, I'm sorry to wake you up.

172
00:12:10,271 --> 00:12:15,066
No. I'm in the neighbourhood.
You got a pen?

173
00:14:36,625 --> 00:14:39,544
(Horses bray)

174
00:15:57,790 --> 00:16:00,291
(Boy) Mum, where's my cards?

175
00:16:05,005 --> 00:16:07,632
Where's my cards?

176
00:16:21,105 --> 00:16:23,856
- Is my other deck in here?
- Did you eat?

177
00:16:23,983 --> 00:16:26,192
Dad's down there waiting already.

178
00:16:26,318 --> 00:16:29,404
- (Man) Cards are in our bathroom.
- Yes, I had a waffle.

179
00:16:29,530 --> 00:16:32,532
Since we're out of waffles,
how's that possible?

180
00:16:32,658 --> 00:16:34,993
It's a miracle.

181
00:16:37,746 --> 00:16:39,497
Gloves?

182
00:16:46,213 --> 00:16:48,089
Henry!

183
00:16:51,885 --> 00:16:54,012
Come on.

184
00:16:55,222 --> 00:16:57,265
Get in.

185
00:16:58,642 --> 00:17:00,476
Got it?

186
00:17:05,983 --> 00:17:12,030
No one's even sure where they are
cos there's no borders or landmarks.

187
00:17:12,156 --> 00:17:14,574
And the town
is not even a town really.

188
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:18,161
It's this camp where all these people
have gathered to hide.

189
00:17:18,287 --> 00:17:19,245
Right.

190
00:17:19,371 --> 00:17:23,041
All these deserters and guys
that got cut off from their armies.

191
00:17:23,167 --> 00:17:26,252
They're hiding in the woods
and trying to stay alive.

192
00:17:26,378 --> 00:17:28,379
This is where they all came.

193
00:17:28,505 --> 00:17:32,425
There's Thieves, Gray Mages,
Unbidden Warriors, Dark Avians,

194
00:17:32,551 --> 00:17:36,429
Riverwynders and Sappers,
like 1 5 different characters, OK?

195
00:17:36,555 --> 00:17:39,307
- OK.
- And nobody has any alliances.

196
00:17:39,433 --> 00:17:42,810
You can't even say who you are
cos you don't know,

197
00:17:42,936 --> 00:17:47,523
maybe the person you're talking to
is your mortal enemy in the wars.

198
00:17:47,649 --> 00:17:50,443
So it's completely
everybody for themselves.

199
00:17:50,569 --> 00:17:55,156
- Sounds familiar.
- It's really good. You should read it.

200
00:17:55,282 --> 00:17:58,326
By the time I finish it,
you'll be on to something else.

201
00:17:58,452 --> 00:18:01,329
- How much you wanna bet?
- How much you got?

202
00:18:01,455 --> 00:18:04,332
- Got your bus pass?
- It's in my locker.

203
00:18:04,458 --> 00:18:07,543
You're not even gonna look at it,
are you?

204
00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:09,170
- The book?
- Yes.

205
00:18:09,296 --> 00:18:12,632
- Bring it on Saturday.
- I did. I left it in your kitchen.

206
00:18:12,758 --> 00:18:17,929
- It's got a red cover.
- OK. Well, here we go.

207
00:18:18,055 --> 00:18:21,974
Go! Teach these people something,
would you?

208
00:18:24,978 --> 00:18:27,563
- See you later, Dad.
- Yeah, kiddo.

209
00:18:27,689 --> 00:18:29,357
(Kids shouting)

210
00:18:29,483 --> 00:18:30,983
Thanks.

211
00:18:37,157 --> 00:18:40,952
(Man) Lot number 52,
assorted mixing bowls, assorted sizes.

212
00:18:41,078 --> 00:18:43,788
$30 to start. $30 I have now.

213
00:18:43,914 --> 00:18:47,083
I got 40. And 50 now.
I have $60 back there.

214
00:18:47,209 --> 00:18:49,293
$60. 70? I got $70 here.

215
00:18:49,419 --> 00:18:51,879
$70 I have now.
$80 there.

216
00:18:52,005 --> 00:18:54,507
$80, this gentleman here.
$80 I have now.

217
00:18:54,633 --> 00:18:57,677
$90. Give me 1 00. $1 00 I have now.

218
00:18:57,803 --> 00:18:59,679
(Auctioneer continues)

219
00:19:09,314 --> 00:19:12,275
He says you're still gonna be short.

220
00:19:14,069 --> 00:19:19,031
- How short?
- 60. Plus the points, 75,000.

221
00:19:19,158 --> 00:19:22,326
- That's everything?
- What'd you think it was gonna be?

222
00:19:22,452 --> 00:19:25,621
I don't know. Less. 30, 20.

223
00:19:25,747 --> 00:19:29,542
He took 1 ,500 on a refrigerator
I paid four grand for.

224
00:19:29,668 --> 00:19:31,919
Make a bid.

225
00:19:33,213 --> 00:19:38,134
- Don't have the 75,000?
- Just lying around, no.

226
00:19:39,887 --> 00:19:42,513
We both know I should be talking
to your brother.

227
00:19:42,639 --> 00:19:45,766
- Forget that.
- Michael, look.

228
00:19:45,893 --> 00:19:48,227
If you wanna front this,
that's up to you.

229
00:19:48,353 --> 00:19:51,439
But Timmy's name stays in the book
till we're clear.

230
00:19:51,565 --> 00:19:56,277
If I know where he is,
I don't have to keep asking.

231
00:19:56,403 --> 00:20:00,114
He's upstate. His wife took him back.
I don't know where he is.

232
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,701
- He's got to have something.
- He's got the two kids with her.

233
00:20:03,827 --> 00:20:07,413
He's got Jennifer, the coke-dealing
waitress that he knocked up.

234
00:20:07,539 --> 00:20:12,668
He's got four Michelin Radials
that he stole from my sister's garage.

235
00:20:13,754 --> 00:20:15,922
Make an offer.

236
00:20:17,966 --> 00:20:22,553
I had a wife who was a drunk.
A beautiful girl, a young girl.

237
00:20:22,679 --> 00:20:27,099
But live like that? Even if they do
a program... She did once, two years.

238
00:20:27,226 --> 00:20:32,688
And then they slip. Forget it.
It's like you're strapped to a bomb.

239
00:20:32,814 --> 00:20:35,358
What's my timeframe here?

240
00:20:35,484 --> 00:20:39,528
I don't know.
I didn't think it'd be a problem.

241
00:20:41,198 --> 00:20:43,282
I'll ask.

242
00:21:09,977 --> 00:21:13,271
- Hey, Michael.
- Morning, Carl.

243
00:21:20,362 --> 00:21:24,031
(Michael) Look, Del, I don't know
how hard you want me to press here.

244
00:21:24,157 --> 00:21:26,033
How brave does he want to be?

245
00:21:26,159 --> 00:21:30,871
(Del) 'I'm not sure. We got a hearing
scheduled for end of the month.'

246
00:21:30,998 --> 00:21:34,625
- Does she know that?
- 'I don't know. It was in the paper.'

247
00:21:34,751 --> 00:21:37,128
'Maybe she got someone
to read it to her.

248
00:21:37,254 --> 00:21:40,673
'She called his wife yesterday.
This is a nightmare.'

249
00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:43,926
- She'll want to hang onto the condo.
- 'That's insane.'

250
00:21:44,052 --> 00:21:47,763
What can I tell you?
Don't piss off a motivated stripper.

251
00:21:47,889 --> 00:21:49,640
'It's unbelievable.'

252
00:21:49,766 --> 00:21:54,103
Find out his pain threshold and get back
to me. Or tell him to call me directly.

253
00:21:54,271 --> 00:21:58,024
- 'All right, let me get into it.'
- All right. OK. Thanks.

254
00:21:58,150 --> 00:22:02,069
- Hey, where are we with Marty?
- We left word.

255
00:22:02,195 --> 00:22:06,365
- Hold on. Go back. How old is the kid?
- (Woman) 'He's not a kid. He's 22.'

256
00:22:06,491 --> 00:22:08,659
- This is Miami?
- 'No. Key Biscayne.'

257
00:22:08,785 --> 00:22:13,706
- And they charged him.
- 'Reckless endangerment. My client...

258
00:22:13,832 --> 00:22:19,462
'I think what they want, they want
a reality check on the attorney.'

259
00:22:19,588 --> 00:22:21,756
- Yeah.
- 'Wayne said you had connections.'

260
00:22:21,882 --> 00:22:24,425
- Yeah, let me get a pen.
- 'Thank you.'

261
00:22:25,844 --> 00:22:28,429
If she calls the INS,
she'll get nowhere.

262
00:22:28,555 --> 00:22:32,350
- (Man) 'Even with the appointment?'
- It's like a DMV over there.

263
00:22:32,476 --> 00:22:35,936
Unless they get a call from a district
supervisor, nobody moves.

264
00:22:36,063 --> 00:22:39,357
- 'Your guy can do that?'
- He's a former Commissioner.

265
00:22:39,483 --> 00:22:44,236
- 'None of this comes back to me?'
- No, I'm gonna be the one that's asking.

266
00:22:44,363 --> 00:22:47,490
- 'Can you hang on a minute?'
- Yeah, sure.

267
00:22:48,700 --> 00:22:52,620
Are we merging?
Marty Bach's in London.

268
00:22:52,746 --> 00:22:57,958
They said he was in Atlanta, then Lara
said he was in the building, so I called.

269
00:22:58,085 --> 00:23:00,503
Now she tells me the truth.
He's in London.

270
00:23:00,629 --> 00:23:03,047
- (Phone rings)
- So, are we merging?

271
00:23:03,173 --> 00:23:06,592
Everybody's saying,
all these Brits, this time it's for real.

272
00:23:06,718 --> 00:23:10,429
Like I would know.
I don't know.

273
00:23:10,555 --> 00:23:14,266
But if we are, if they merged,
it wouldn't affect us, right?

274
00:23:14,393 --> 00:23:17,395
- (Phone rings)
- Your phone's ringing.

275
00:23:17,521 --> 00:23:19,647
(Michael) Evan?

276
00:23:19,773 --> 00:23:25,694
Hey, OK, I'll call him
and set up a meeting for next week.

277
00:23:25,821 --> 00:23:28,406
I'll walk her in, make the introduction...

278
00:23:28,532 --> 00:23:32,159
(Woman) 'At the moment, U/North
currently has 70,000 employees

279
00:23:32,285 --> 00:23:36,288
'in 62 countries around the world.

280
00:23:36,415 --> 00:23:39,625
'Around the planet.

281
00:23:39,751 --> 00:23:44,213
'Operating in 62 countries
around the planet.'

282
00:23:44,339 --> 00:23:49,135
At work in more than 60 countries
around the globe.

283
00:23:51,638 --> 00:23:54,974
We have...we have right now...
we have...

284
00:23:55,100 --> 00:23:58,352
At U/North right now,
we've got 75,000 employees

285
00:23:58,478 --> 00:24:01,021
in over 60 countries around the planet.

286
00:24:01,148 --> 00:24:04,233
We're a successful
and highly diversified company

287
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:09,738
so you can imagine the volume and
variety of legal issues we deal with is...

288
00:24:09,865 --> 00:24:14,785
Overwhelming.
It's just enormous.

289
00:24:14,911 --> 00:24:18,581
So you can imagine
the volume of legal issues.

290
00:24:19,958 --> 00:24:22,293
It's quite substantial.

291
00:24:22,419 --> 00:24:27,465
And as General Counsel, what I do,
what our in-house department does,

292
00:24:27,591 --> 00:24:32,887
is to analyse the dimension
of the problem or the opportunity

293
00:24:33,013 --> 00:24:36,891
to determine the jurisdiction
and to outsource our business

294
00:24:37,017 --> 00:24:41,270
to those firms and talents
that we think can help us the most.

295
00:24:41,396 --> 00:24:44,315
(Interviewer) 'So with
that pressure and workload,

296
00:24:44,441 --> 00:24:47,735
'how do you keep a balance
between work and life?'

297
00:24:47,861 --> 00:24:52,072
- Balance?
- (Laughter)

298
00:24:52,199 --> 00:24:58,787
I think that's...that's something that
you search for your whole life, isn't it?

299
00:24:58,914 --> 00:25:05,252
It's a shifting balance, really.
It's, you know, you try to...

300
00:25:05,378 --> 00:25:11,675
When you really are enjoying
what you do, who needs balance?

301
00:25:11,801 --> 00:25:14,094
There's your balance.

302
00:25:14,221 --> 00:25:18,349
When you're really enjoying what it is
you do, there is your balance.

303
00:25:18,475 --> 00:25:23,312
When Don asked me to take...
Don Jeffries...Don Jeffries brought me...

304
00:25:23,438 --> 00:25:26,565
Don Jeffries brought me in here
1 2 years ago,

305
00:25:26,691 --> 00:25:32,196
trusted me, mentored me,
welcomed me into the U/North family.

306
00:25:33,532 --> 00:25:37,368
When he moved up to the boardroom,
I never really dreamt

307
00:25:37,494 --> 00:25:41,330
that I would have the opportunity
to move into his position.

308
00:25:41,456 --> 00:25:44,708
But is it challenging? Yes.

309
00:25:44,834 --> 00:25:50,714
I think that it's possible that those
first few months were a little shaky.

310
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:55,970
But then you realise you've been taught
to be ready, and you take the helm.

311
00:25:56,096 --> 00:25:59,932
Because if you're not comfortable
with that level of responsibility,

312
00:26:00,058 --> 00:26:01,559
you're in the wrong place.

313
00:26:01,685 --> 00:26:07,106
It's your department, your capacity
to make tough decisions in real time...

314
00:26:07,983 --> 00:26:12,695
- (Don) We're in an interview.
- They said it was urgent.

315
00:26:14,072 --> 00:26:17,616
Jesus! Oh, for Christ's sake.

316
00:26:19,452 --> 00:26:21,495
You're saying he did this in...?

317
00:26:21,621 --> 00:26:24,206
- Oh, my God.
- Barry.

318
00:26:24,332 --> 00:26:25,416
Hang on.

319
00:26:25,542 --> 00:26:31,338
Arthur Edens just stripped down naked
in a deposition room in Milwaukee.

320
00:26:33,174 --> 00:26:38,345
(Man) 'Michael, I took a deep breath
and set that notion aside. I tabled it.

321
00:26:38,471 --> 00:26:43,392
'I said to myself, "As clear as this
may be, as potent a feeling as this is,

322
00:26:43,518 --> 00:26:47,438
"'as true a thing as I believe that
I have witnessed today, it must wait.

323
00:26:47,564 --> 00:26:50,232
"'It must stand the test of time."

324
00:26:50,358 --> 00:26:53,402
'And, Michael, the time is now.

325
00:26:53,528 --> 00:26:56,864
'This moment, today, here,
this room, this air,

326
00:26:56,990 --> 00:27:01,327
'and this, especially this, Michael,
that you're here.

327
00:27:01,995 --> 00:27:05,372
'There's a reason.
A reason it's you, Michael.

328
00:27:05,498 --> 00:27:10,169
'Surely, you have some sense of that,
how it pulls together, how it gathers.

329
00:27:10,295 --> 00:27:14,048
'Nurse Michael, the secret hero,
the keeper of the hidden sins.'

330
00:27:14,174 --> 00:27:19,011
Tell me you can see that, Michael.
But, yeah, yes!

331
00:27:19,137 --> 00:27:25,476
The nudity, the parking lot, it was
a mistake. It was wrong. It was lame.

332
00:27:25,602 --> 00:27:28,520
It was obvious.
And therapeutically, it was useless.

333
00:27:28,647 --> 00:27:32,274
Because I swear I could stand here
and tear off my ****ing skin,

334
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:37,196
and I could not get down
to where this thing is living!

335
00:27:37,322 --> 00:27:41,283
Six years, Michael. Six years
I've absorbed this poison.

336
00:27:41,409 --> 00:27:44,745
400 depositions, a hundred motions,
five changes of venue,

337
00:27:44,871 --> 00:27:47,122
85,000 documents in discovery.

338
00:27:47,248 --> 00:27:51,502
Six years of scheming and stalling
and screaming, and what have I got?

339
00:27:51,628 --> 00:27:56,131
I've spent 1 2 percent of my life
defending a deadly weed killer!

340
00:27:56,257 --> 00:27:59,885
- We had an agreement, Arthur.
- One night. One night, right?

341
00:28:00,011 --> 00:28:03,263
I look up and see Marty in my office.
He's got some champagne.

342
00:28:03,390 --> 00:28:08,102
He tells me we hit 30,000 billable hours
on U/North and he wants to celebrate.

343
00:28:08,228 --> 00:28:11,563
An hour later, I find myself
in a *****house in Chelsea

344
00:28:11,690 --> 00:28:15,234
with two Lithuanian redheads
taking turns sucking my ****.

345
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:18,362
I'm laying there
and I'm trying not to come,

346
00:28:18,488 --> 00:28:21,782
and I wanna make it last,
so I start doing the math.

347
00:28:21,908 --> 00:28:25,119
I think, "30,000 hours, what is that?
That's 24 times 30.

348
00:28:25,245 --> 00:28:30,624
"That's 720 hours in a month,
8,760 hours in a year..."

349
00:28:30,750 --> 00:28:32,376
- Arthur!
- No, wait!

350
00:28:32,502 --> 00:28:36,130
Because it's years! It's lives!

351
00:28:36,256 --> 00:28:40,259
The numbers are making me dizzy
and now instead of trying not to come

352
00:28:40,385 --> 00:28:44,304
I'm trying not to think, and I can't stop.
I mean, is this me?

353
00:28:44,431 --> 00:28:49,309
Am I this freak organism
that's been sent here to sleep and eat

354
00:28:49,436 --> 00:28:53,647
and defend this one horrific chain
of carcinogenic molecules?

355
00:28:53,773 --> 00:28:55,941
Is that my destiny? Is that my fate?

356
00:28:56,067 --> 00:28:58,277
- You promised me.
- Is that it, Michael?

357
00:28:58,403 --> 00:29:01,864
Is that my grail?
Two Lithuanian mouths on my ****?

358
00:29:01,990 --> 00:29:04,533
Is that the answer
to the multiple choice of me?

359
00:29:04,659 --> 00:29:07,536
You wanna go off your medication,
you call me first.

360
00:29:07,662 --> 00:29:09,538
- That was our agreement!
- Sue me!

361
00:29:09,664 --> 00:29:11,707
(Policeman) We OK in there?

362
00:29:11,833 --> 00:29:14,418
We're fine. We're fine.

363
00:29:18,131 --> 00:29:23,677
They killed them, Michael.
Those small farms, the family farms.

364
00:29:23,803 --> 00:29:27,181
- Did you meet Anna?
- No.

365
00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:30,517
You gotta see her, talk to her.
She's a miracle, Michael.

366
00:29:30,643 --> 00:29:32,978
She's God's perfect little creature.

367
00:29:33,104 --> 00:29:36,398
For $50mn in fees
I've spent 1 2 percent of my life

368
00:29:36,524 --> 00:29:40,235
destroying perfect Anna,
her dead parents and her dying brother.

369
00:29:40,361 --> 00:29:43,113
- When did you last take one?
- I'm not losing this.

370
00:29:43,239 --> 00:29:47,659
Everything's significant. The world's
beautiful. I'm not trading that for this.

371
00:29:47,786 --> 00:29:51,079
- If it's real, the pill won't kill it.
- I've blood on my hands.

372
00:29:51,206 --> 00:29:55,876
You are the senior litigating partner of
one of the largest law firms in the world.

373
00:29:56,002 --> 00:29:58,045
- You are a legend.
- I'm an accomplice!

374
00:29:58,171 --> 00:30:02,758
- You're a manic-depressive.
- I am Shiva, the god of death.

375
00:30:02,884 --> 00:30:06,678
Let's get out of Milwaukee,
we'll talk about it.

376
00:30:07,347 --> 00:30:12,392
'We came back from the hospital
and everybody was crying,

377
00:30:12,519 --> 00:30:16,772
'and we were in shock,
but we still had to milk.'

378
00:30:16,898 --> 00:30:20,275
- 'The cows won't wait, will they?'
- 'No.'

379
00:30:20,401 --> 00:30:23,487
'And when you went to the barn?'

380
00:30:23,613 --> 00:30:26,365
'We found the note. My sister found it.'

381
00:30:26,491 --> 00:30:28,659
- 'From your mother?'
- 'Yes.'

382
00:30:28,785 --> 00:30:31,411
(Man) 'Could you read it for us,
please?

383
00:30:31,538 --> 00:30:35,874
'Just read the third paragraph,
just the highlighted section there.'

384
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,418
"'Don't blame Ned Hardy or any...

385
00:30:38,545 --> 00:30:42,172
(Arthur) 'Anna...Anna...'

386
00:30:42,298 --> 00:30:44,174
'It's all right, Anna, go on.'

387
00:30:44,300 --> 00:30:46,343
- (Arthur) 'I'm...'
- 'Excuse me!'

388
00:30:46,469 --> 00:30:51,098
(Man) 'What's he doing?
No! This is testimony.

389
00:30:51,224 --> 00:30:53,267
'Excuse me, I have an objection!'

390
00:30:53,393 --> 00:30:57,271
- (Arthur) 'You can be a witness.'
- (Man) 'I am not a witness to this!'

391
00:30:57,397 --> 00:30:59,606
(Arthur) 'Anna, I love you!'

392
00:30:59,732 --> 00:31:03,443
'And I...I'm sitting here...'

393
00:31:03,570 --> 00:31:07,739
- 'I'm listening to you and I swear...'
- (Man) 'He's undressing!'

394
00:31:07,866 --> 00:31:11,451
'...I love you more than anything
in the world. This is my moment.

395
00:31:11,578 --> 00:31:14,746
'This strange conference table moment.

396
00:31:14,873 --> 00:31:18,000
'This is my offering!'

397
00:31:18,126 --> 00:31:22,296
- (Man) 'I want this on the record!'
- (Man#2) 'How do you turn it off?'

398
00:31:22,422 --> 00:31:26,258
'My clothes are my offering.
This is my shame.

399
00:31:26,384 --> 00:31:29,553
'My credentials! I'm ashamed!

400
00:31:29,679 --> 00:31:32,764
'And I love you and I swear to God...'

401
00:31:40,356 --> 00:31:42,441
I guess that's it.

402
00:31:43,610 --> 00:31:46,236
(Clears throat)

403
00:31:49,115 --> 00:31:53,493
- When do we get Don?
- She said to try back in half an hour.

404
00:31:53,620 --> 00:31:57,539
And how about the flights?
What's the story at O'Hare?

405
00:31:57,665 --> 00:32:00,042
- Closed four minutes ago.
- Shit!

406
00:32:01,794 --> 00:32:04,171
There is a foot of snow
in Detroit already.

407
00:32:04,297 --> 00:32:07,007
Todd, could I get that coffee now?

408
00:32:08,885 --> 00:32:12,804
Who is this guy they sent from New
York? Clayton. I never heard of him.

409
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:16,183
Michael Raymond Clayton.

410
00:32:16,309 --> 00:32:21,521
'Born September 9, 1 959, Saint
Joseph's Hospital, Bronx, New York.

411
00:32:21,648 --> 00:32:25,192
'Father is NYPD patrolman,
Raymond Xavier Clayton.

412
00:32:25,318 --> 00:32:27,986
'Mother, Alice Mary Clayton.

413
00:32:28,112 --> 00:32:33,325
'Graduates Washingtonville Central High
School, Orange County, NY, in 1 977.

414
00:32:33,451 --> 00:32:38,121
'Graduates Saint John's University,
1 980. Fordham Law, '82.

415

the Queens District Attorney's office.

Queens Organised Crime Task Force.'

417
00:32:48,299 --> 00:32:51,635
And then in 1 990, he starts
at Kenner, Bach & Ledeen.

418
00:32:51,761 --> 00:32:54,012
So he's a partner?

419
00:32:54,138 --> 00:32:58,767
No. He's listed as Special Counsel.
Says he specialises in wills and trusts.

420

(Karen) 'He goes from criminal
prosecution to wills and trusts?

Who is this guy?'

423
00:33:18,788 --> 00:33:21,331
(Knocking at door)

424
00:33:23,126 --> 00:33:25,335
- Hi.
- Close the door.

425
00:33:25,461 --> 00:33:29,673
All right. So, nobody, none of you
had any idea he was coming?

426
00:33:29,799 --> 00:33:32,092
To Milwaukee? For a deposition?

427
00:33:32,218 --> 00:33:35,804
We thought there was some settlement.
There's been rumours.

428
00:33:35,972 --> 00:33:41,059
OK. Look, it's very simple.
Arthur has a chemical imbalance.

429
00:33:41,185 --> 00:33:44,646
He's fallen behind on his medication.

430
00:33:44,772 --> 00:33:47,024
He's back on the mend.
He's gonna be fine.

431
00:33:47,150 --> 00:33:51,653
Now, I wanna make this crystal clear.
What happened here stays in this room.

432
00:33:51,779 --> 00:33:54,948
This is not information that
you wanna be out in front of.

433
00:33:55,074 --> 00:33:58,285
Anybody has a problem with that,
I need to know right now.

434
00:33:59,537 --> 00:34:01,663
All right.

435
00:34:01,789 --> 00:34:05,333
We're stuck here overnight.
I'll take him home tomorrow if I can.

436
00:34:05,460 --> 00:34:07,919
Who's in charge
of the deposition schedule?

437
00:34:08,046 --> 00:34:09,921
- I am.
- Where do we stand?

438
00:34:10,048 --> 00:34:12,340
It's on hold.
We didn't know what to do.

439
00:34:12,467 --> 00:34:14,509
Keep doing what you were planning.

440
00:34:14,635 --> 00:34:17,846
The other side can call New York.
I need his briefcase.

441
00:34:17,972 --> 00:34:21,767
- Arthur's? I don't... I didn't see it.
- He said it was in the room.

442
00:34:21,893 --> 00:34:25,771
- It might be the stuff Jody grabbed.
- Find it.

443
00:34:31,652 --> 00:34:35,947
(Henry) So, all these people,
they all start having these dreams, OK?

444
00:34:36,074 --> 00:34:40,577
You know what a vision quest is?
You know, for like Navajos and stuff?

445
00:34:40,703 --> 00:34:46,124
(Arthur) 'Yeah. I think so.
Like a...like a special dream.'

446
00:34:46,250 --> 00:34:50,879
Except this is like a whole bunch
of people having the same dream.

447
00:34:51,005 --> 00:34:54,299
They're dreaming that
they should go to this one place.

448
00:34:54,425 --> 00:34:56,218
They don't know why.

449
00:34:56,344 --> 00:35:00,013
They just have this feeling that
they have to go there.

450
00:35:00,139 --> 00:35:03,266
- 'That they've been summoned.'
- That's the chapter.

451
00:35:03,392 --> 00:35:07,938
Seriously, that's what it's called,
"Summons to Conquest", that's the title.

452
00:35:08,064 --> 00:35:13,819
Yeah, but do they know? Do they know
they're all having the same dream?

453
00:35:13,945 --> 00:35:18,156
No. That's what's so cool.
They all think it's just them.

454
00:35:18,282 --> 00:35:22,536
That maybe they're going crazy or
something, so they don't wanna admit it.

455
00:35:22,662 --> 00:35:24,955
Yeah, but they're not crazy, are they?

456
00:35:25,081 --> 00:35:28,583
'No. It's real. It's really happening.'

457
00:35:28,709 --> 00:35:31,920
Yeah, it is happening, isn't it?

458
00:35:33,631 --> 00:35:40,137
It's something larger than themselves,
and they're not ready to hear it.

459
00:35:40,263 --> 00:35:44,641
Yeah. But later they will.
If you're gonna read it, I won't spoil it.

460
00:35:44,767 --> 00:35:46,184
(Door opens)

461
00:35:46,310 --> 00:35:48,603
What are you doing?
Who are you talking to?

462
00:35:48,729 --> 00:35:51,148
(Henry) 'I called my dad.
It's his friend.'

463
00:35:51,274 --> 00:35:54,401
- 'Who?'
- 'Mr Edens. You don't know him.'

464
00:35:54,527 --> 00:35:56,987
- Hello?
- 'Henry, it's after 1 1 :00.'

465
00:35:57,113 --> 00:36:00,657
- (Henry) 'I gotta get off now.'
- No. Wait, wait.

466
00:36:00,783 --> 00:36:03,201
The book. I need the book. The title.

467
00:36:03,327 --> 00:36:06,121
The book is "Realm and Conquest".

468
00:36:06,247 --> 00:36:07,998
"'Realm and Conquest."'

469
00:36:08,124 --> 00:36:10,125
It's Book One with the red cover.

470
00:36:10,251 --> 00:36:13,962
- Henry, give me the phone.
- I gotta go. Tell my dad I called. OK?

471
00:36:14,088 --> 00:36:18,800
Yeah...yeah. Thank you, Henry.
Thank you.

472
00:36:23,431 --> 00:36:27,142
"Realm and Conquest"... Thank you.

473
00:36:28,978 --> 00:36:31,104
(TV on in background)

474
00:36:49,790 --> 00:36:53,251
- Karen? Hi, I'm Michael Clayton.
- You're late.

475
00:36:53,377 --> 00:36:56,504
I know. Sorry, it was more
complicated than we thought.

476
00:36:56,631 --> 00:36:58,506
Where is he?
I've been here since 5:30.

477
00:36:58,633 --> 00:37:00,675
- He's asleep.
- Wake him up.

478
00:37:00,801 --> 00:37:03,720
That's not gonna happen.
We just got him sedated.

479
00:37:03,846 --> 00:37:08,683
Once he gets back on his regular
medication, it's just a matter of time.

480
00:37:08,809 --> 00:37:11,686
- Have you seen the video? The tape?
- I heard about it.

481
00:37:11,812 --> 00:37:14,397
What happened after is worse.

482
00:37:14,523 --> 00:37:18,026
This is in the parking lot, OK?
People running for their cars.

483
00:37:18,152 --> 00:37:21,029
He's there in his socks, nothing else.

484
00:37:21,155 --> 00:37:24,616
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I will not sit
with this sickness any longer.

485
00:37:24,742 --> 00:37:29,371
"I cannot aid this sickness any longer."
What does this mean?

486
00:37:29,497 --> 00:37:31,623
I'm not sure.

487
00:37:31,749 --> 00:37:34,042
You've been with him.
What's he saying?

488
00:37:34,168 --> 00:37:37,921
- He wasn't really making much sense.
- This is totally unacceptable.

489
00:37:38,047 --> 00:37:43,093
This is a $3bn class action lawsuit.
In the morning, I have to call my board.

490
00:37:43,219 --> 00:37:47,722
I have to tell them that the architect
of our defence has been arrested

491
00:37:47,848 --> 00:37:52,060
for running naked in a snowstorm
chasing the plaintiffs in a parking lot.

492
00:37:52,186 --> 00:37:54,396
I understand.

493
00:37:54,522 --> 00:37:57,190
What sickness is he talking about?

494
00:37:57,316 --> 00:38:00,110
- I don't know. It could be anything.
- Give me one.

495
00:38:00,236 --> 00:38:03,363
- Frostbite.
- You think this is funny?

496
00:38:03,489 --> 00:38:05,991
Look, his wife was sick
and she died last year.

497
00:38:06,117 --> 00:38:10,787
His daughter doesn't talk to him.
He's all alone. All he does is your case.

498
00:38:10,913 --> 00:38:13,540
He skipped his pills, had a bad day.
That's it.

499
00:38:13,666 --> 00:38:16,418
And you're somehow
the authority on this?

500
00:38:16,544 --> 00:38:19,671
His last episode was eight years ago.
I was there.

501
00:38:19,797 --> 00:38:23,758
I helped bring him home,
I watched him get better. That's it.

502
00:38:23,884 --> 00:38:26,761
You didn't hire him
for his low-key regularity.

503
00:38:26,887 --> 00:38:31,141
You hired him because he's a killer,
because he's brilliant and crazy enough

504
00:38:31,267 --> 00:38:34,311
to grind away on this case
for six years without a break.

505
00:38:34,437 --> 00:38:37,772
- We pay for his time.
- I thought you wanted an explanation.

506
00:38:37,898 --> 00:38:41,985
In the morning, I'm calling Marty Bach.
But then you know that.

507
00:38:42,111 --> 00:38:43,820
Thank you, Michael.

508
00:38:49,702 --> 00:38:51,786
Ah, he was mostly just quiet.

509
00:38:51,912 --> 00:38:55,332
I heard him moving around,
I gave him a pill 1 5 minutes ago.

510
00:38:55,458 --> 00:38:57,709
- He took it?
- A deal's a deal, right?

511
00:38:57,835 --> 00:38:59,544
Super job, Elston.

512
00:38:59,670 --> 00:39:03,381
Get to New York, you need tickets
to the game or anything, let me know.

513
00:39:03,507 --> 00:39:05,592
I'll do that for sure.

514
00:39:25,613 --> 00:39:28,239
- Did you see her?
- Who?

515
00:39:28,366 --> 00:39:30,867
- Anna.
- No.

516
00:39:32,495 --> 00:39:36,956
No, I didn't see her.
She probably went back to the farm.

517
00:39:37,083 --> 00:39:39,376
Well, we need her.

518
00:39:40,669 --> 00:39:46,174
Marty, even then, and the rest of them,
they won't understand.

519
00:39:46,300 --> 00:39:50,595
Well, if anybody can explain it to them,
it's you, Arthur.

520
00:39:51,639 --> 00:39:55,517
No, they're lost.
They have what they want.

521
00:39:55,643 --> 00:39:57,185
Let it go, man.

522
00:39:57,311 --> 00:40:00,605
This what you wanted?

523
00:40:00,731 --> 00:40:06,069
To be a janitor?
Live like this? All this?

524
00:40:06,195 --> 00:40:08,029
Do what you do?

525
00:40:08,989 --> 00:40:11,825
It can't be.

526
00:40:11,951 --> 00:40:17,205
It's...it's a burden,
that's what I'm trying to tell you.

527
00:40:17,331 --> 00:40:20,458
That's...that's how it feels.

528
00:40:20,584 --> 00:40:24,754
Well, I know that...
that we've been summoned.

529
00:40:26,841 --> 00:40:29,342
Get some sleep.

530
00:40:32,638 --> 00:40:35,014
(Phone rings)

531
00:40:44,650 --> 00:40:50,155
- (Man) 'Hello.'
- (Karen) Yes. Hi, I'm looking for Verne?

532
00:40:50,281 --> 00:40:52,031
'You have a number?'

533
00:40:52,158 --> 00:40:55,326
Don Jeffries gave me the number.
He said I could call any time.

534
00:40:55,453 --> 00:40:58,413
- 'No. The account number.'
- The code?

535
00:40:58,539 --> 00:41:01,749
I do. I have it right here. One moment.

536
00:41:03,627 --> 00:41:05,920
Excuse me one moment.

537
00:41:06,046 --> 00:41:11,384
It's right here. 1 2-BKR-6.
1 2-BKR-6.

538
00:41:13,262 --> 00:41:16,306
Am I speaking with Verne?

539
00:41:16,432 --> 00:41:21,269
- 'It's Mr Verne.'
- Mr Verne. I'm sorry, it's so late.

540
00:41:21,395 --> 00:41:23,897
Don said that I could...

541
00:41:25,065 --> 00:41:27,567
I'm not exactly sure how this works.

542
00:41:27,693 --> 00:41:30,945
- 'Do you have e-mail at your location?'
- I do.

543
00:41:31,071 --> 00:41:33,948
- 'Are you alone?'
- I am.

544
00:41:34,074 --> 00:41:38,119
'OK, I'm gonna upload you a little
encryption package we like to use.

545
00:41:38,245 --> 00:41:41,539
- 'It's pretty self-explanatory.'
- OK.

546
00:41:41,665 --> 00:41:44,334
'Give me a minute to get to my desk.
OK? Hold on.'

547
00:41:44,460 --> 00:41:46,211
OK. Thank you.

548
00:42:10,694 --> 00:42:13,154
(Michael) 'What I was wondering is,'

549
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,157
I have an option on the lease
for six more years,

550
00:42:16,283 --> 00:42:20,245
I was wondering if there's any way
that I could lay that off.

551
00:42:20,371 --> 00:42:22,622
Is the lease worth anything?

552
00:42:25,084 --> 00:42:28,586
What? 8900 a month. It's...

553
00:42:28,712 --> 00:42:31,172
The fixtures are gone, but there's...

554
00:42:31,298 --> 00:42:36,302
But there's the bar, there's a kitchen,
there's a great space.

555
00:42:37,721 --> 00:42:39,847
But there's a...

556
00:42:43,644 --> 00:42:46,521
Yeah, I understand. No, I understand.

557
00:42:48,482 --> 00:42:51,192
OK, yeah, I will.

558
00:42:51,318 --> 00:42:53,820
All right. Thanks.

559
00:42:53,946 --> 00:42:55,989
(Shower running)

560
00:43:03,122 --> 00:43:05,415
Come on, Arthur!

561
00:43:07,334 --> 00:43:09,002
Arthur!

562
00:43:10,170 --> 00:43:12,297
Arthur, open the door.

563
00:43:14,174 --> 00:43:17,385
(Knocks)
Arthur, open the door!

564
00:43:19,513 --> 00:43:22,098
Arthur, open the goddamn door!

565
00:43:23,183 --> 00:43:25,059
Arthur!

566
00:43:25,185 --> 00:43:27,770
Open the ****ing door!

567
00:43:34,194 --> 00:43:35,903
Arthur!

568
00:43:36,030 --> 00:43:38,615
Goddamn it, Arthur! Open the ****ing...

569
00:43:49,168 --> 00:43:51,210
Arthur!

570
00:44:01,555 --> 00:44:03,431
- Mr Verne, hey!
- Hey, Danny.

571
00:44:03,557 --> 00:44:05,808
(Danny) I was just pulling
the other bags.

572
00:44:05,934 --> 00:44:09,020
Well, you can put them back. There's
been a change of plans, sorry.

573
00:44:09,146 --> 00:44:11,648
- You ready?
- Yep.

574
00:44:14,234 --> 00:44:17,278
(Marty) Oh, for Christ's sake.

575
00:44:17,404 --> 00:44:22,158
Don Jeffries signed this?
That's really his signature?

576
00:44:22,284 --> 00:44:24,285
Where's the original?

577
00:44:24,411 --> 00:44:30,792
We had a warehouse fire five years
ago. We lost a number of documents.

578
00:44:35,631 --> 00:44:38,800
What the hell is this doing
in Arthur's bag?

579
00:44:38,926 --> 00:44:40,843
Well, I don't know, Marty.

580
00:44:40,969 --> 00:44:44,889
That's something I was hoping
you might be able to tell me.

581
00:44:49,269 --> 00:44:51,145
(Barry) What are we looking for?

582
00:44:51,271 --> 00:44:55,525
(Marty) If it says U/North, pull it aside.
Anything that says U/North.

583
00:44:57,111 --> 00:44:59,987
What a mess this is.

584
00:45:03,283 --> 00:45:09,205
(Marty) I want all this, everything here,
packed up and sent up to the house.

585
00:45:10,457 --> 00:45:11,958
Any luck, Michael?

586
00:45:12,084 --> 00:45:15,169
He booked a limo
from Newark Airport at 3:00,

587
00:45:15,295 --> 00:45:18,923
got out at West 4th Street,
tipped the driver $1 00 and walked away.

588
00:45:19,049 --> 00:45:21,134
- Try his apartment?
- He moved.

589
00:45:21,260 --> 00:45:23,344
- I know.
- It's a loft. No doorman.

590
00:45:23,470 --> 00:45:25,763
Nobody answered.
I called, I got the machine.

591
00:45:25,889 --> 00:45:30,184
- So he could be anywhere.
- Arthur downtown is not a good idea.

592
00:45:30,310 --> 00:45:33,104
- Where's his daughter?
- I dunno. Spain, India.

593
00:45:33,230 --> 00:45:36,357
Mars! She's crazier than he'll ever be.

594
00:45:36,483 --> 00:45:40,737
Barry's taking over on U/North.
We got a lot of grovelling to do.

595
00:45:40,863 --> 00:45:44,031
- You didn't charm Karen Crowder.
- I was punting.

596
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,868
You gotta saddle up
and get things under control.

597
00:45:46,994 --> 00:45:51,247
- Saddle up?
- He needs to be under a doctor's care.

598
00:45:51,373 --> 00:45:53,791
- Where?
- Does that really matter?

599
00:45:53,917 --> 00:45:57,795
Michael, U/North needs to know
he's under control, in a facility.

600
00:45:57,921 --> 00:46:00,381
They're shook up.
They need to be reassured.

601
00:46:00,507 --> 00:46:02,550
- It's not that easy.
- (Barry) Why not?

602
00:46:02,676 --> 00:46:06,679
Because the laws in New York
are tough on involuntary commitment.

603
00:46:06,805 --> 00:46:08,431
Did you see this tape?

604
00:46:08,557 --> 00:46:11,267
I'm not arguing,
I'm telling you how it is.

605
00:46:11,393 --> 00:46:14,562
You know what?
We got 600 lawyers in this place.

606
00:46:14,688 --> 00:46:18,232
Find who knows the most about
psychiatric commitment statutes.

607
00:46:18,358 --> 00:46:20,902
I can tell you that right now. It's Arthur.

608
00:46:21,612 --> 00:46:23,112
(Indistinct chatter)

609
00:46:32,498 --> 00:46:34,749
(Man) 'I'm at the door, good to go.'

610
00:46:36,084 --> 00:46:39,587
Yeah, roger that. Let's keep
a radio check every five, OK?

611
00:46:39,713 --> 00:46:42,507
Every five minutes, copy that.

612
00:47:08,659 --> 00:47:16,082
(Phone rings)

613
00:47:18,210 --> 00:47:20,253
'You've reached Arthur's machine.

614
00:47:20,379 --> 00:47:23,965
'If you wish to leave a message,
please do so after the tone.'

615
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,260
(Michael) 'Arthur, pick up the phone.

616
00:47:27,386 --> 00:47:32,056
'Arthur, pick up the phone
and talk to me.

617
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,477
'No? Not gonna do it, huh?'

618
00:47:36,603 --> 00:47:40,147
What happened yesterday morning,
forget it. It doesn't matter.

619
00:47:40,274 --> 00:47:44,277
Someday you and I are gonna laugh
about it. But you gotta call me back.

620
00:47:44,403 --> 00:47:46,737
You gotta call me back soon, Arthur.

621
00:47:46,864 --> 00:47:50,324
'I'll tell you what...
because you said it yourself,

622
00:47:50,450 --> 00:47:54,662
'part of this is definitely madness,
and there's a chemical part to this.

623
00:47:54,788 --> 00:47:58,833
'But if you're willing to start with that,
I'm willing to meet you halfway'

624
00:47:58,959 --> 00:48:04,088
and say that, yes, this situation sucks,
this case sucks, U/North sucks.

625
00:48:04,214 --> 00:48:08,676
We can start with that. You hear me?
You're right about what we are.

626
00:48:08,802 --> 00:48:12,805
'I'm saying that you're crazy
and your behaviour is out of control.'

627
00:48:12,931 --> 00:48:17,727
But I'm telling you, you're right.
You called it. We're janitors, I get it.

628
00:48:20,314 --> 00:48:24,066
But we came to this, Arthur.
We made decisions.

629
00:48:24,192 --> 00:48:26,986
'This didn't happen overnight.'

630
00:48:27,112 --> 00:48:31,282
You can't stop and say,
"That's it, game over. I'm into miracles."

631
00:48:31,408 --> 00:48:32,950
'Arthur. Come on.'

632
00:48:34,953 --> 00:48:38,789
Goddamn it, pick up the phone,
because whatever else is important,

633
00:48:38,916 --> 00:48:42,335
let me help you with this
because I'm telling you straight up,

634
00:48:42,461 --> 00:48:46,589
janitor to janitor, I don't see anybody
else with a broom on the horizon.

635
00:48:46,715 --> 00:48:49,342
It's me, buddy. I'm the...
(Phone beeps)

636
00:48:49,468 --> 00:48:53,638
(Machine) 'Mailbox is full.
Your message cannot be recorded.'

637
00:49:42,729 --> 00:49:44,814
(Phone rings)

638
00:49:53,782 --> 00:49:56,492
- Hello?
- (Arthur) 'Hello. Is Anna there?'

639
00:49:56,618 --> 00:49:58,911
Hang on.

640
00:50:01,540 --> 00:50:03,749
(Woman) 'Anna!

641
00:50:05,168 --> 00:50:07,378
'Where is she? Anna!

642
00:50:09,256 --> 00:50:11,007
'Anna!

643
00:50:12,300 --> 00:50:14,593
'Anna, you've got a phone call!

644
00:50:17,222 --> 00:50:19,515
'Where is she? Anna!'

645
00:50:24,354 --> 00:50:26,856
(Baby cries)

646
00:50:30,777 --> 00:50:34,321
- Hello?
- Anna, hi. It's Arthur.

647
00:50:34,448 --> 00:50:37,450
- 'Hey.'
- Did you get some sleep?

648
00:50:37,576 --> 00:50:41,203
- 'I guess.'
- Did you think about what we said?

649
00:50:41,329 --> 00:50:43,998
- Yeah.
- 'You didn't tell anybody, did you?'

650
00:50:44,124 --> 00:50:48,711
No. My sister's spying on me,
but that's normal.

651
00:50:48,837 --> 00:50:51,505
Yeah. Because I meant what I said.

652
00:50:51,631 --> 00:50:54,216
'I know. I know. It's just...'

653
00:50:55,427 --> 00:50:59,889
...there's like 450 people in this lawsuit.

654
00:51:00,015 --> 00:51:02,850
Why are you choosing me?

655
00:51:02,976 --> 00:51:05,895
I don't know. I'm crazy, right?

656
00:51:06,021 --> 00:51:09,648
- 'That's for sure.'
- I mean, does it really matter?

657
00:51:09,775 --> 00:51:12,485
'Isn't it what we wait for?
To meet someone?'

658
00:51:12,611 --> 00:51:16,906
They're like a lens and suddenly
you're looking through them

659
00:51:17,032 --> 00:51:21,368
and everything changes and
nothing can ever be the same again.

660
00:51:21,495 --> 00:51:26,290
- Who are you talking to?
- It's for me, OK? I get calls, too.

661
00:51:26,416 --> 00:51:27,958
That guy?

662
00:51:28,085 --> 00:51:31,879
Same guy. The same guy.

663
00:51:32,005 --> 00:51:33,631
Sorry.

664
00:51:34,591 --> 00:51:38,803
Oh, no. That's, that's, that's OK.
My mother used to listen to my calls.

665
00:51:38,929 --> 00:51:41,722
'She can't believe I can do anything
on my own.'

666
00:51:41,848 --> 00:51:45,476
- (Arthur) Well, that'll change.
- 'I guess.'

667
00:51:45,602 --> 00:51:51,023
(Arthur) 'That's something we can
show her. That you can do something.

668
00:51:51,149 --> 00:51:53,734
'That we could do that together
if you want.

669
00:51:53,860 --> 00:51:57,363
'I mean that I can help you do that.'

670
00:51:58,615 --> 00:52:01,283
I can get you twelve by Monday.

671
00:52:01,409 --> 00:52:04,745
- Twelve's weak. Twelve looks bad.
- How do you figure that?

672
00:52:04,871 --> 00:52:08,541
They look at 75 and you,
and they wonder what the problem is.

673
00:52:08,667 --> 00:52:10,918
You say twelve,
that makes people nervous.

674
00:52:11,044 --> 00:52:14,213
This was the day before yesterday.
Give me some time.

675
00:52:14,339 --> 00:52:17,925
- What's the car worth?
- It's a lease. It's the firm's.

676
00:52:18,051 --> 00:52:22,304
So? You go to the bank,
you got the apartment, you refinance.

677
00:52:22,430 --> 00:52:27,309
- I can't. I did that three months ago.
- Are you back at the tables?

678
00:52:27,435 --> 00:52:31,647
Yeah, like I need that kind of action,
I don't have enough going on.

679
00:52:33,733 --> 00:52:35,776
I hope you're kidding.

680
00:52:35,902 --> 00:52:41,574
If he finds out you're playing cards with
his money, there's no dialogue after that.

681
00:52:41,700 --> 00:52:43,784
Do everyone a favour.

682
00:52:43,910 --> 00:52:48,789
Get out the treasure map
and start digging.

683
00:52:48,915 --> 00:52:51,125
You got a week.

684
00:52:51,877 --> 00:52:53,961
- Hi, Michael.
- Hi, Cindy.

685
00:52:55,505 --> 00:52:58,007
He's been on the phone all morning.
What's new?

686
00:52:58,133 --> 00:53:00,634
I'm trying to get him out of here
in 1 5 minutes.

687
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:05,139
- Is he upstairs?
- He's upstairs... What are you doing?

688
00:53:05,265 --> 00:53:10,561
(Cindy) Soroyo, keep an eye on these
kids, make sure they're downstairs.

689
00:53:23,533 --> 00:53:26,493
(Sighs) Marty?

690
00:53:27,787 --> 00:53:30,915
Know what he's doing?
He's backing their case.

691
00:53:31,041 --> 00:53:36,629
I'm going through his files here.
He's building a case against U/North.

692
00:53:36,755 --> 00:53:40,174
- They won't let him.
- Let him? Who's gonna stop him?

693
00:53:40,300 --> 00:53:43,510
Know what I just heard?
He's calling these plaintiffs.

694
00:53:43,637 --> 00:53:47,848
This woman from the deposition,
he's calling these people.

695
00:53:47,974 --> 00:53:51,101
He's got these discovery documents.
It's a nightmare.

696
00:53:51,228 --> 00:53:54,688
I've been trying him all morning.
His machine's jammed up.

697
00:53:54,814 --> 00:53:58,484
- Is that his briefcase?
- Yeah. Why?

698
00:53:58,610 --> 00:54:00,861
We've been looking for it, that's why.

699
00:54:00,987 --> 00:54:04,031
It came up here
with all the other stuff from his office.

700
00:54:04,157 --> 00:54:08,535
You can't believe the crap
he's got in here.

701
00:54:08,662 --> 00:54:10,579
Listen, Marty...

702
00:54:11,331 --> 00:54:14,041
...I'm in a bind here.

703
00:54:15,043 --> 00:54:21,090
- I need a loan. I need 80 grand.
- I thought you were done with all that.

704
00:54:21,216 --> 00:54:26,178
- It's not the cards. It's the restaurant.
- 80,000?

705
00:54:26,304 --> 00:54:31,183
I'm sorry to jump you like this. I've been
trying to meet you alone for two weeks.

706
00:54:31,309 --> 00:54:36,647
- And I know about the merger.
- Oh? Nothing's final on the merger.

707
00:54:36,773 --> 00:54:39,984
That's why I'm asking you now.
You're my meal ticket.

708
00:54:40,110 --> 00:54:44,655
Soon it'll be me and Barry with a roomful
of strangers who don't know what I do.

709
00:54:44,781 --> 00:54:46,865
Everybody knows how valuable you are.

710
00:54:46,992 --> 00:54:49,743
- Everybody who needs to know.
- I'm 45 and I'm broke.

711
00:54:49,869 --> 00:54:54,373
I've been riding shotgun for 1 2 years,
I got no equity. I don't feel reassured.

712
00:54:54,499 --> 00:54:56,875
Nobody told you to go
into the bar business.

713
00:54:57,002 --> 00:55:01,171
- I only opened it so I'd have a way out.
- I had no idea you were so unhappy.

714
00:55:01,298 --> 00:55:05,009
How many times did I ask you
to put me back on a litigation team?

715
00:55:05,135 --> 00:55:07,594
Anybody can go to court.
What's so special?

716
00:55:07,721 --> 00:55:10,472
- I was good at it.
- So are a lot of people.

717
00:55:10,598 --> 00:55:14,226
At this, what you do, you're great.

718
00:55:14,352 --> 00:55:17,938
For Christ's sake, Michael, you got
something everybody wants.

719
00:55:18,064 --> 00:55:22,109
You have a niche. You made a place.
You made a niche for yourself.

720
00:55:22,235 --> 00:55:26,238
If it's nostalgia, "Oh, you should've
seen me when I was a DA in Queens,"

721
00:55:26,364 --> 00:55:29,825
let me give you a serious piece
of advice: leave it there!

722
00:55:29,951 --> 00:55:34,455
God forbid you're not as good as you
remember, cos I've seen that happen.

723
00:55:34,581 --> 00:55:37,708
But I didn't come here for advice, did I?

724
00:55:37,834 --> 00:55:41,128
So I give you the loan or
you don't help out with Arthur?

725
00:55:41,254 --> 00:55:44,631
- I never said that!
- No? Maybe you should have.

726
00:55:44,758 --> 00:55:49,803
I don't know how you're gonna
take care of this, but this is cancer.

727
00:55:49,929 --> 00:55:55,642
If we don't get it reined in and cleaned
up soon, everything's vulnerable.

728
00:55:55,769 --> 00:55:59,438
- What are you telling me?
- That I'm counting on you.

729
00:55:59,564 --> 00:56:03,484
I'm telling you that by this time next
week, Arthur will be under control

730
00:56:03,610 --> 00:56:07,363
and everybody will have been reminded
of your infinite value.

731
00:56:07,489 --> 00:56:10,366
- Jesus, Marty!
- Hey...

732
00:56:10,492 --> 00:56:13,619
When did you get so ****ing delicate?

733
00:56:13,745 --> 00:56:15,704
I'm late.

734
00:56:23,338 --> 00:56:25,005
(Intercom buzzes)

735
00:56:54,702 --> 00:56:57,913
Why don't you call Uncle Gene
and get the cops to help you?

736
00:56:58,039 --> 00:57:01,417
It's not that kind of a problem.

737
00:57:01,543 --> 00:57:05,045
- (Henry) How long do we do this?
- I don't know.

738
00:57:16,224 --> 00:57:20,018
If he comes back to get his car,
call that number and let me know.

739
00:57:20,145 --> 00:57:23,856
- Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
- OK. You're welcome.

740
00:57:30,530 --> 00:57:33,866
If we're not going to the movie,
why don't you say so?

741
00:57:33,992 --> 00:57:36,827
- What?
- I wanna go home.

742
00:57:36,953 --> 00:57:39,037
Come on, Henry.

743
00:57:42,459 --> 00:57:44,543
Hold up!

744
00:57:45,837 --> 00:57:48,839
Stay in the car. Lock the doors.

745
00:57:48,965 --> 00:57:53,427
Arthur! Arthur! Wait up!

746
00:57:54,721 --> 00:57:58,056
Michael. Jeez, you scared me.

747
00:57:59,601 --> 00:58:02,186
- Making a delivery?
- No, no.

748
00:58:02,312 --> 00:58:05,522
That'd be very funny.
No, nothing like that.

749
00:58:05,648 --> 00:58:11,236
Here, take one, please. It's still warm.
It's the best bread I ever tasted.

750
00:58:15,116 --> 00:58:16,992
So, welcome home.

751
00:58:17,118 --> 00:58:23,749
Oh, I know, the hotel. Sorry. I was
beginning to feel a little overwhelmed.

752
00:58:23,875 --> 00:58:26,793
- You're feeling better now?
- Yes, much better.

753
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,880
- Just not enough to call me back.
- Well, I...

754
00:58:30,006 --> 00:58:35,511
I was gathering my thoughts before
I called you. That's what I was doing.

755
00:58:35,637 --> 00:58:40,140
- And how's that going?
- Yes, it's good, very good. I just...

756
00:58:40,266 --> 00:58:44,645
I just need to make my thoughts
a little bit more precise.

757
00:58:44,771 --> 00:58:47,314
That's...that's my goal.

758
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:51,109
As good as this feels,
you know where it goes.

759
00:58:51,236 --> 00:58:56,949
No. You're wrong. What makes this feel
good is that I don't know where it goes.

760
00:58:57,075 --> 00:59:00,244
How do I talk to you, Arthur?
So you hear me?

761
00:59:00,370 --> 00:59:04,998
Like a child? Like a nut?
Like everything's fine?

762
00:59:05,124 --> 00:59:08,710
What's the secret?
Because I need you to hear me.

763
00:59:08,836 --> 00:59:11,672
- Well, I hear everything.
- Then hear this.

764
00:59:11,798 --> 00:59:16,218
You need help. Before this goes too far,
you need help.

765
00:59:16,344 --> 00:59:20,472
You got great cards. Keep your clothes
on and you can do what you want.

766
00:59:20,598 --> 00:59:24,434
You want out, you're out.
You wanna bake bread, go with God.

767
00:59:24,561 --> 00:59:29,189
There's only one wrong answer and
you've got your arms wrapped around it.

768
00:59:29,315 --> 00:59:32,609
- I said I was sorry.
- The hotel was overwhelming?

769
00:59:32,735 --> 00:59:37,197
- You'd better stop pissing on this case.
- I don't know what you're talking about.

770
00:59:37,323 --> 00:59:42,369
I'm covering for you, telling them
everything's fine, everybody's cool.

771
00:59:42,495 --> 00:59:45,872
I'm running this "price of genius" story
to anybody who'll listen,

772
00:59:45,999 --> 00:59:52,296
and you're calling this girl from
Wisconsin and messing with documents.

773
00:59:52,422 --> 00:59:55,424
- How can you know that?
- They'll take everything from you.

774
00:59:55,550 --> 00:59:58,385
Your partnership, your equity,
your license.

775
00:59:58,511 --> 01:00:00,887
- How do you know I called her?
- Marty told me.

776
01:00:01,014 --> 01:00:05,392
- How does he know?
- I don't know. I don't give a shit!

777
01:00:08,396 --> 01:00:12,608
You're tapping my phone.
Then tell me how Marty knows!

778
01:00:12,734 --> 01:00:17,613
Because you're chasing a girl through
a parking lot with your **** hanging out.

779
01:00:17,739 --> 01:00:20,657
She got off the phone with you
and called her attorney.

780
01:00:20,783 --> 01:00:22,743
- She wouldn't do that.
- Really?

781
01:00:22,869 --> 01:00:27,331
You think that your judgment
is state of the art right now?

782
01:00:27,457 --> 01:00:31,668
They're putting everything on the table.
You need to think this through.

783
01:00:31,794 --> 01:00:36,423
I'll help you think this through. I'll find
somebody to help you think this through.

784
01:00:36,549 --> 01:00:40,761
Don't do this.
You're making it easy for them.

785
01:00:41,929 --> 01:00:45,098
Michael, I have great affection for you.

786
01:00:45,224 --> 01:00:49,436
You lead a very interesting life,
but you're a bagman, not an attorney.

787
01:00:49,562 --> 01:00:51,855
If you wanted to have me committed,

788
01:00:51,981 --> 01:00:56,109
you should've kept me in Wisconsin
where the arrest report, the videotape

789
01:00:56,235 --> 01:00:58,737
and eyewitness accounts
of my behaviour

790
01:00:58,863 --> 01:01:03,450
would've had jurisdictional relevance.
I have no criminal record in New York.

791
01:01:03,576 --> 01:01:09,331
And the single determining criterion
for involuntary incarceration is danger.

792
01:01:09,457 --> 01:01:12,834
Is the defendant a danger
to himself or others?

793
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,504
You think you got the horses for that?

794
01:01:15,630 --> 01:01:19,633
Well, good luck and God bless.
But I tell you this...

795
01:01:19,759 --> 01:01:23,970
The last place you want to see me
is in court.

796
01:01:24,722 --> 01:01:28,892
- I'm not the enemy.
- Then who are you?

- You're going in.

880
01:07:49,982 --> 01:07:52,442
- I got a shift.
- So do I.

881
01:07:52,568 --> 01:07:55,528
Oh, come on.
You haven't been up here in months.

882
01:07:55,654 --> 01:07:58,948
If you go back now, Mickey,
Henry's staying here.

883
01:07:59,075 --> 01:08:00,992
Good. You can drive him home.

884
01:08:01,118 --> 01:08:05,705
Just stay for an hour.
The girls did all this stuff.

885
01:08:05,831 --> 01:08:08,583
He'll be asleep by then.

886
01:08:11,170 --> 01:08:13,505
Timmy's been calling me.

887
01:08:17,093 --> 01:08:20,011
- He's afraid to talk to you.
- He should be.

888
01:08:20,137 --> 01:08:22,931
- It closed out bad, right?
- Is that what he told you?

889
01:08:23,057 --> 01:08:27,602
The kids are freaking out.
His in-laws are freaking out.

890
01:08:27,728 --> 01:08:30,939
Pammy can't stop crying
long enough to start freaking out.

891
01:08:31,065 --> 01:08:34,400
- She took him back.
- So what? **** her and the kids?

892
01:08:34,527 --> 01:08:37,237
No, **** Timmy.
And nothing's closed, OK?

893
01:08:37,363 --> 01:08:41,533
I sold everything and we're short.
Don't talk to me about Pammy and kids.

894
01:08:41,659 --> 01:08:46,204
I've got my hands full.
If it was you, he'd be in traction.

895
01:08:48,249 --> 01:08:50,834
Yeah, he's sick, all right?

896
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:54,420
- He's sick. It's a sickness.
- There's a fresh perspective.

897
01:08:54,547 --> 01:08:59,050
I've seen a lot of people falling off
the wagon lately. It's going around.

898
01:08:59,176 --> 01:09:01,094
Is that pointed at me?

899
01:09:03,556 --> 01:09:06,432
When do I see you?
How do I know what you're up to?

900
01:09:06,559 --> 01:09:08,852
I haven't bet on a game in over a year.

901
01:09:08,978 --> 01:09:11,396
I haven't been in a card room
in ten months.

902
01:09:11,522 --> 01:09:16,359
I gambled on the bar. I bet on Timmy,
he wiped me out. That was my big play.

903
01:09:16,485 --> 01:09:20,613
I put up my walk-away money
and it's gone and I'm scrambling.

904
01:09:20,739 --> 01:09:25,952
OK. OK.
Cool down. I hear you.

905
01:09:31,250 --> 01:09:33,585
I'd be pissed off, too.

906
01:09:38,090 --> 01:09:42,051
(Sighs) Just hang for an hour.

907
01:09:42,178 --> 01:09:44,262
- OK?
- Yeah.

908
01:10:18,380 --> 01:10:20,882
Ready? And lift.

909
01:10:21,008 --> 01:10:23,801
Ready and go.

910
01:10:43,822 --> 01:10:46,324
(Pills rattling)

911
01:10:47,201 --> 01:10:49,077
Wipe.

912
01:10:57,628 --> 01:10:59,963
You better hit it.

913
01:11:32,871 --> 01:11:34,872
We're good.

914
01:11:40,838 --> 01:11:42,714
(Taps running)

915
01:11:49,054 --> 01:11:51,097
(Pills spilling)

916
01:12:02,067 --> 01:12:04,235
(Match commentary on TV)

917
01:12:08,574 --> 01:12:13,745
I found it. That's his number. Dr Mullien.
See if you have any more luck.

918
01:12:13,912 --> 01:12:15,830
If I get a chance.

919
01:12:15,956 --> 01:12:18,499
It's Medicaid.
They're running us in circles.

920
01:12:18,625 --> 01:12:21,461
- I can pull the file...
- Let him go. He's got a date.

921
01:12:21,587 --> 01:12:23,629
With a maniac attorney.

922
01:12:23,756 --> 01:12:26,341
- Take a night off, Mickey.
- You look tired.

923
01:12:26,467 --> 01:12:28,760
- I'm OK. See you soon.
- Be good.

924
01:12:28,886 --> 01:12:31,179
- All right. Bye.
- Bye, Hen.

925
01:12:31,305 --> 01:12:32,930
- Bye, Pop.
- Bye.

926
01:12:40,314 --> 01:12:41,773
(Unlocks car)

927
01:12:43,108 --> 01:12:45,360
- Uncle Timmy, hey!
- How you doing, Henry?

928
01:12:45,486 --> 01:12:47,987
Henry, get in the car.

929
01:12:49,490 --> 01:12:51,866
Good to see you, Hen.

930
01:12:52,951 --> 01:12:56,537
- What do you want?
- I've been sober eight days now.

931
01:12:56,663 --> 01:13:00,291
Been back at the meetings.
I wanted you to know.

932
01:13:00,417 --> 01:13:02,335
In front of the kid?

933
01:13:02,461 --> 01:13:05,671
Mickey, please.
I know how bad I did, I swear.

934
01:13:06,965 --> 01:13:10,843
I don't know how to make it right again.
It's all I think about.

935
01:13:10,969 --> 01:13:13,388
What do I do?
I don't know what to do.

936
01:13:14,431 --> 01:13:16,891
Get Stephanie her tyres back.

937
01:13:21,814 --> 01:13:25,191
- Is he crying?
- I don't know.

938
01:13:25,317 --> 01:13:29,695
- Because of drugs, right?
- That and everything else.

939
01:14:00,394 --> 01:14:01,978
What?

940
01:14:03,981 --> 01:14:05,481
Your Uncle Timmy,

941
01:14:05,607 --> 01:14:11,571
and I mean this, on his best day,
was never as tough as you.

942
01:14:12,448 --> 01:14:15,950
I'm not talking about crying
or the drugs or anything.

943
01:14:16,076 --> 01:14:19,203
I'm talking about in his heart.
You understand me?

944
01:14:20,205 --> 01:14:24,250
All his charming bullshit,
this Big Tim, Uncle, Boss bullshit...

945
01:14:24,376 --> 01:14:26,461
I know you love him and I know why.

946
01:14:26,587 --> 01:14:29,338
But when you see him like that,
don't worry.

947
01:14:29,465 --> 01:14:32,925
That's not how it will be for you,
you won't be like these people

948
01:14:33,051 --> 01:14:37,930
that go through life wondering why shit
keeps falling out of the sky around them.

949
01:14:38,056 --> 01:14:41,976
I know that. I know it. OK?

950
01:14:46,231 --> 01:14:50,026
I see it every time I look at you.
I see it right now.

951
01:14:52,738 --> 01:14:55,907
I don't know where you got it from,
but you got it.

952
01:14:57,075 --> 01:14:58,576
OK?

953
01:15:02,206 --> 01:15:04,624
(Phone rings)

954
01:15:04,750 --> 01:15:06,626
Hold on.

955
01:15:11,715 --> 01:15:13,466
Hello?

956
01:15:22,643 --> 01:15:26,938
The neighbours came by.
They're renovating the loft downstairs.

957
01:15:27,064 --> 01:15:31,651
They had water flooding
from his bathroom down to their place.

958
01:15:31,777 --> 01:15:37,532
His front door, fire escape, he had
everything locked up pretty good.

959
01:15:37,658 --> 01:15:42,119
It took our guys ten minutes.
They had to knock the thing down.

960
01:15:42,955 --> 01:15:45,915
There's pills all over the place.

961
01:15:46,041 --> 01:15:51,295
Just the scene alone
is pretty definitive for suicide.

962
01:15:52,339 --> 01:15:54,632
Then I spoke to some of your partners

963
01:15:54,758 --> 01:15:58,970
who ran down these problems
he'd been having lately, so...

964
01:16:00,889 --> 01:16:04,016
- Is there a note?
- No. They looked.

965
01:16:04,142 --> 01:16:08,604
It could be an accident or he was gonna
write a note and just messed up.

966
01:16:10,482 --> 01:16:14,652
- Can I get in there?
- His place? Not now. It's sealed.

967
01:16:14,778 --> 01:16:19,657
Once the seal goes up, it's frozen.
We're gonna try and reach his daughter.

968
01:16:19,783 --> 01:16:23,494
I guess she's off in Europe,
but she's got to come in.

969
01:16:23,620 --> 01:16:26,622
Or the ME's got to come back
with a toxicology report.

970
01:16:26,748 --> 01:16:30,376
That's a couple of weeks at least
that it's got to stay like that.

971
01:16:30,502 --> 01:16:32,169
Sorry.

972
01:16:34,214 --> 01:16:36,007
Sure.

973
01:16:42,139 --> 01:16:44,015
OK.

974
01:16:47,352 --> 01:16:51,856
I know your brother a little.
My wife works the 1 90 out in Queens.

975
01:16:53,609 --> 01:16:55,443
I'll tell him hello.

976
01:16:55,569 --> 01:16:57,987
If something comes in,
I'll get back to you.

977
01:16:58,113 --> 01:17:01,324
- Yeah. I appreciate it.
- Sorry for your loss.

978
01:17:12,961 --> 01:17:15,171
(People chatting)

979
01:17:19,468 --> 01:17:21,761
- Ah, Michael.
- Jeff.

980
01:17:21,887 --> 01:17:25,890
- This is tough.
- Yeah... He in here?

981
01:17:37,235 --> 01:17:40,946
Dumb son of a *****.
What a thing.

982
01:17:41,073 --> 01:17:43,157
- Hold on...
- I didn't even know.

983
01:17:43,283 --> 01:17:45,451
- I'm so sorry.
- Yeah. All right.

984
01:17:45,577 --> 01:17:52,750
I didn't even get a chance to talk to him.
That crazy goddamn bastard.

985
01:17:52,876 --> 01:17:56,462
What a waste.
What the hell was he thinking?

986
01:17:56,588 --> 01:17:59,799
- Marty? I got to set this up.
- Go.

987
01:18:00,926 --> 01:18:04,929
- You OK?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

988
01:18:06,223 --> 01:18:09,100
Come on, let's get you a drink.

989
01:18:10,435 --> 01:18:15,481
I just keep replaying all this back.
Like, did I push him too hard?

990
01:18:15,607 --> 01:18:18,693
- Not a chance.
- I couldn't get through to him...

991
01:18:18,819 --> 01:18:21,821
You scared him to death?
Come on. The man was a bull.

992
01:18:21,947 --> 01:18:25,825
- Never happened.
- Why does he fold, then? Why...?

993
01:18:25,951 --> 01:18:27,993
Why did...? (Sighs)

994
01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:31,580
It's got to be an accident.
Arthur without a note?

995
01:18:31,707 --> 01:18:34,709
He couldn't piss without leaving
a memo. It was an accident.

996
01:18:34,835 --> 01:18:37,086
I don't understand that either.

997
01:18:37,212 --> 01:18:39,338
One minute
he's gonna take on the world,

998
01:18:39,464 --> 01:18:42,800
and 1 2 hours later
he's sucking down pills. Why?

999
01:18:42,926 --> 01:18:44,635
Why?

1000
01:18:45,887 --> 01:18:48,556
Because people
are ****ing incomprehensible.

1001
01:18:48,682 --> 01:18:50,683
Why?

1002
01:18:52,978 --> 01:18:56,355
Thirty years I know Arthur.

1003
01:18:56,481 --> 01:18:58,149
Good years.

1004
01:19:00,277 --> 01:19:04,113
And what I feel right now, if I'm honest?

1005
01:19:06,491 --> 01:19:09,577
I can't even say, it's so awful.

1006
01:19:10,829 --> 01:19:12,705
You can say it.

1007
01:19:14,791 --> 01:19:16,959
We caught a lucky break.

1008
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:22,506
We did, didn't we?

1009
01:19:26,845 --> 01:19:30,264
Marty? We need to get up to the office.

1010
01:19:30,390 --> 01:19:32,391
- They accepted?
- In principle.

1011
01:19:32,517 --> 01:19:35,352
Don Jeffries wants us on the phone
in half an hour.

1012
01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:38,189
I explained about Arthur,
but at this point...

1013
01:19:38,315 --> 01:19:40,232
Wait. U/North is settling?

1014
01:19:40,358 --> 01:19:45,112
They see a window. They wanna try.
It's their show. What are we gonna do?

1015
01:19:46,364 --> 01:19:49,492
You did what you could, Michael.
We all did.

1016
01:19:50,869 --> 01:19:53,496
It's...it's what we got.

1017
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:58,167
- (Barry) You need a ride?
- No. Thanks, I'm fine.

1018
01:20:14,726 --> 01:20:16,769
(Phone rings)

1019
01:20:30,575 --> 01:20:31,659
Hello.

1020
01:20:31,785 --> 01:20:34,286
Hi. I'm looking for Anna Kysersun.

1021
01:20:34,412 --> 01:20:36,872
- 'Who is this?'
- Michael Clayton.

1022
01:20:36,998 --> 01:20:39,667
I'm an attorney.
I got your number from Arthur...

1023
01:20:39,793 --> 01:20:42,461
- 'You have got some nerve.'
- Excuse me?

1024
01:20:42,587 --> 01:20:46,465
You get her out to New York City
and then leave her at the airport?

1025
01:20:46,591 --> 01:20:48,551
'This is not a complicated person.

1026
01:20:48,677 --> 01:20:51,679
'She's never been farther from home
than Milwaukee.'

1027
01:20:51,805 --> 01:20:53,556
- Now, wait...
- 'No, you wait.'

1028
01:20:53,682 --> 01:20:58,269
She's coming home tomorrow and
if you call again, I'm warning you...

1029
01:20:58,395 --> 01:21:03,107
- She's in New York right now?
- 'This is a young girl, do you hear me?'

1030
01:21:03,233 --> 01:21:07,111
- She's in the city right now?
- 'What kind of people are you?'

1031
01:21:07,237 --> 01:21:11,866
(Michael) 'All right, listen. You just stay
on the phone one second.'

1032
01:21:42,522 --> 01:21:45,107
(Michael knocks at door) 'Anna?'

1033
01:21:46,818 --> 01:21:48,986
Anna?

1034
01:21:49,112 --> 01:21:52,156
My name's Michael Clayton.
I'm a friend of Arthur's.

1035
01:21:52,282 --> 01:21:54,867
Your sister told me you were here.

1036
01:21:56,411 --> 01:21:58,537
Please open the door, Anna.

1037
01:22:01,207 --> 01:22:02,875
(Lock opens)

1038
01:22:09,507 --> 01:22:12,760
- What are you thinking?
- I don't know.

1039
01:22:12,886 --> 01:22:17,431
I'll watch the door. You check his car.
Let's get some details.

1040
01:22:19,976 --> 01:22:23,646
He didn't want to say exactly
what it was.

1041
01:22:25,315 --> 01:22:29,234
Just that when I got here,
he would pick me up

1042
01:22:29,361 --> 01:22:35,366
and show me that it was something
that would win the whole case.

1043
01:22:38,703 --> 01:22:42,039
Even this morning,
I mean, I thought...

1044
01:22:43,917 --> 01:22:50,047
"OK, if I get to the airport
and the ticket's not there, then I'll know.

1045
01:22:50,173 --> 01:22:53,801
"You're stupid,
and you can go home now."

1046
01:22:56,513 --> 01:23:03,936
But it was there and he paid
like $800 for a first-class ticket.

1047
01:23:04,062 --> 01:23:05,896
And I just...

1048
01:23:09,609 --> 01:23:11,902
I got on the plane.

1049
01:23:14,322 --> 01:23:16,407
I believed him.

1050
01:23:21,037 --> 01:23:26,625
You think maybe he was...
in some way disappointed?

1051
01:23:26,751 --> 01:23:30,671
Let's say that he knew that you told
somebody else about all of this,

1052
01:23:30,797 --> 01:23:34,049
and in some crazy way
he was disappointed by that?

1053
01:23:35,176 --> 01:23:38,303
- But I didn't.
- You must have told somebody else.

1054
01:23:38,430 --> 01:23:40,097
No.

1055
01:23:41,141 --> 01:23:43,600
He made me promise.

1056
01:23:44,769 --> 01:23:49,023
You didn't tell anybody else about this?
Not one other person?

1057
01:23:50,275 --> 01:23:51,984
No.

1058
01:23:56,531 --> 01:23:59,158
He really was crazy, wasn't he?

1059
01:24:12,005 --> 01:24:14,798
- You talking about this?
- Let me see.

1060
01:24:16,634 --> 01:24:18,969
- You know what that is?
- Yeah.

1061
01:24:19,095 --> 01:24:22,014
You said a favour.
That's more than a favour.

1062
01:24:22,140 --> 01:24:24,391
Nobody's gonna know
where it came from.

1063
01:24:25,977 --> 01:24:28,062
- Are you that jammed up?
- What?

1064
01:24:28,188 --> 01:24:31,023
Who asked for this?
It's the restaurant, right?

1065
01:24:31,149 --> 01:24:33,650
One of these guys you owe?
"Get me a seal."

1066
01:24:33,777 --> 01:24:35,819
You really wanna know?

1067
01:25:52,772 --> 01:25:55,232
This just gets better and better.

1068
01:25:56,734 --> 01:25:58,569
What are we doing?

1069
01:28:00,024 --> 01:28:04,069
(Man) Freeze! Right there, asshole!
Don't move!

1070
01:28:04,195 --> 01:28:06,071
It's all right, I'm a friend!

1071
01:28:06,197 --> 01:28:10,367
Get your hands up now! Now!
What's in your hand?

1072
01:28:10,493 --> 01:28:14,204
- It's a book.
- Drop it! Drop it, now! Drop it!

1073
01:28:14,330 --> 01:28:17,457
- (Woman) Turn around. Slowly.
- All right. OK.

1074
01:28:17,583 --> 01:28:19,459
- Who else is here?
- Nobody.

1075
01:28:19,585 --> 01:28:22,421
- I said, who else is here?
- Nobody's here!

1076
01:28:22,547 --> 01:28:24,506
Check in there.

1077
01:28:24,632 --> 01:28:28,051
You move, I'll take your head off.

1078
01:28:31,889 --> 01:28:34,016
(Keys jangling)

1079
01:28:57,749 --> 01:29:02,294
Now I owe this scumbag and his wife,
who's a piece of shit in my unit.

1080
01:29:02,420 --> 01:29:06,465
I owe them my balls for this.
"Nobody will know it's me."

1081
01:29:06,591 --> 01:29:09,760
You know what happens
if they don't bury this?

1082
01:29:09,886 --> 01:29:14,014
- It's bad, I know.
- You put my pension in jeopardy.

1083
01:29:14,140 --> 01:29:16,767
- You made your point.
- It's not a point!

1084
01:29:16,893 --> 01:29:19,269
- Who called 91 1 ?
- What?

1085
01:29:19,395 --> 01:29:22,647
The building was empty. I was quiet.
I wasn't there long.

1086
01:29:22,774 --> 01:29:26,735
- Does it make sense to you?
- This never happened!

1087
01:29:28,404 --> 01:29:32,240
The cops think you're a lawyer
and the lawyers think you're a cop.

1088
01:29:32,367 --> 01:29:36,203
You got everybody fooled, don't you?
Everybody but you.

1089
01:29:36,329 --> 01:29:39,414
You know exactly what you are.

1090
01:29:52,553 --> 01:29:58,183
We tried calling you like six times.
Your machine must be busted.

1091
01:29:58,309 --> 01:30:01,812
We gave it our best shot.
We ran out of red covers.

1092
01:30:01,938 --> 01:30:05,607
We only had 2,000 in stock, so
we did the other thousand in blue.

1093
01:30:27,338 --> 01:30:30,006
- Is everything all right?
- It's fine, yeah.

1094
01:30:30,133 --> 01:30:33,593
You have a van?
Cos I have 25 boxes back there and...

1095
01:30:33,719 --> 01:30:37,055
Do me a favour. Hang on to them.

1096
01:30:37,181 --> 01:30:41,601
- I'll pick everything up next week.
- Seriously? Thanks, man.

1097
01:30:50,278 --> 01:30:51,987
(Indistinct chatter)

1098
01:31:02,206 --> 01:31:04,082
Hello?

1099
01:31:08,754 --> 01:31:12,424
Don! You go ahead. I'll catch up to you.

1100
01:31:12,550 --> 01:31:14,634
What?

1101
01:31:21,184 --> 01:31:23,351
(Verne) Do you know Michael Clayton?

1102
01:31:23,478 --> 01:31:27,606
- Yeah, why?
- We have a situation.

1103
01:31:41,245 --> 01:31:43,914
(People talking frantically)

1104
01:31:46,876 --> 01:31:48,960
- Hey, did they find you?
- Who?

1105
01:31:49,086 --> 01:31:52,339
Marty. I don't think they've gone in yet.

1106
01:31:59,639 --> 01:32:01,223
Marty.

1107
01:32:01,349 --> 01:32:04,351
There's too much going on
for your phone to be off.

1108
01:32:04,477 --> 01:32:06,436
- I need a minute.
- We're late.

1109
01:32:06,562 --> 01:32:08,480
We never got to finish last night.

1110
01:32:08,606 --> 01:32:11,024
Did you close the place?
You look like hell.

1111
01:32:11,150 --> 01:32:14,152
- No, I left right after you left.
- If you say so.

1112
01:32:14,278 --> 01:32:16,988
We've been here all night,
made an announcement.

1113
01:32:17,114 --> 01:32:20,534
Jean! I need the thing, the envelope.

1114
01:32:20,660 --> 01:32:23,995
I wanted your input. I couldn't get you.
I pulled the trigger.

1115
01:32:24,121 --> 01:32:27,165
I put Bob Nast and Kim,
probably a mistake.

1116
01:32:27,291 --> 01:32:30,001
They're pulling together
a memorial service.

1117
01:32:30,127 --> 01:32:32,796
I told them to call you
if they need any help, OK?

1118
01:32:32,922 --> 01:32:36,550
No, no. The other one.
The other one.

1119
01:32:36,676 --> 01:32:39,010
So we cut you a cheque this morning.

1120
01:32:39,136 --> 01:32:42,639
There's some strings attached.
And Barry...

1121
01:32:42,765 --> 01:32:46,601
There's no way around this.
Barry's gonna have to be involved.

1122
01:32:50,565 --> 01:32:54,859
- What if Arthur was on to something?
- What do you mean? On to what?

1123
01:32:54,986 --> 01:32:58,196
U/North. What if he wasn't crazy?
What if he was right?

1124
01:32:58,322 --> 01:33:02,826
- That we're on the wrong side?
- Wrong side, wrong way, everything.

1125
01:33:02,952 --> 01:33:06,037
This is news?
This case reeked from day one.

1126
01:33:06,163 --> 01:33:10,750
- I got to tell you how we pay the rent?
- But would they do if he went public?

1127
01:33:10,876 --> 01:33:14,462
What would they do?
Are you ****ing soft? They're doing it.

1128
01:33:14,589 --> 01:33:19,175
If we don't sort this settlement out,
they'll withhold $9mn in fees.

1129
01:33:19,302 --> 01:33:24,389
Then they'll show Arthur's flash dance
and sue us for legal malpractice.

1130
01:33:24,515 --> 01:33:28,435
But they'll win nothing because
the merger with London will be dead

1131
01:33:28,561 --> 01:33:31,479
and we'll be selling off
the goddamn furniture.

1132
01:33:31,606 --> 01:33:35,984
That's 80.
We're calling it a bonus.

1133
01:33:36,110 --> 01:33:40,530
You got a three-year contract at your
current numbers if this all works out.

1134
01:33:40,656 --> 01:33:43,074
You're doing this now?

1135
01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:46,661
Look, I agreed to this, OK?
But there's rules now.

1136
01:33:46,787 --> 01:33:49,331
You're signing
a confidentiality agreement.

1137
01:33:49,457 --> 01:33:52,000
It's gonna be bullet-proof
and retroactive.

1138
01:33:52,126 --> 01:33:57,839
Marty's too nice to say it, but with all
you know about the clients here,

1139
01:33:57,965 --> 01:34:01,301
it's a little weird when you come in
and ask for 80 grand.

1140
01:34:01,427 --> 01:34:05,263
If I were to shake anybody down,
it wouldn't be for 80 grand.

1141
01:34:05,389 --> 01:34:07,766
- Is this him or you?
- If I'm wrong, I apologise.

1142
01:34:07,892 --> 01:34:10,268
- You're wrong.
- So there you go.

1143
01:34:10,394 --> 01:34:12,604
Enough. OK? Everybody.

1144
01:34:12,730 --> 01:34:19,361
He's an asshole, but he knows it. And
you're on the record. Everybody happy?

1145
01:34:20,071 --> 01:34:23,365
- (Jean) Don Jeffries is here.
- We're on the way.

1146
01:34:23,491 --> 01:34:28,244
Call Bob Nast. Just see
if they need help with this thing.

1147
01:34:31,082 --> 01:34:33,458
You're welcome.

1148
01:35:25,469 --> 01:35:27,887
You said 1 2. This is 75.

1149
01:35:28,013 --> 01:35:31,850
- Don't get too excited. Want a drink?
- No. I'm working.

1150
01:35:34,311 --> 01:35:38,648
So we're square, then. No bad blood.

1151
01:35:38,774 --> 01:35:42,444
- Just doing your job.
- That's right.

1152
01:35:42,570 --> 01:35:44,529
Take it easy, Gabe.

1153
01:35:45,281 --> 01:35:47,157
Michael.

1154
01:35:55,708 --> 01:35:58,418
(Asian radio station playing)

1155
01:35:58,544 --> 01:36:00,462
(Man) 'Check.'

1156
01:36:01,172 --> 01:36:03,089
(Michael) 'Check.'

1157
01:36:03,215 --> 01:36:05,759
- Check.
- Half the pot. 200.

1158
01:36:05,885 --> 01:36:07,302
200 to go.

1159
01:36:33,204 --> 01:36:35,622
(Breathing heavily)

1160
01:36:44,799 --> 01:36:48,843
So what happened with the bar?
You just had to be a rock star, huh?

1161
01:36:56,143 --> 01:36:58,353
(Phone rings)

1162
01:37:11,325 --> 01:37:14,744
What are you doing?
You just got here.

1163
01:37:14,870 --> 01:37:18,623
Guy plays nine hands, walks away.
Did I scare you away?

1164
01:37:18,749 --> 01:37:20,583
Did I scare you away?

1165
01:37:21,585 --> 01:37:23,628
(Breathing nervously)

1166
01:37:50,614 --> 01:37:53,283
(Phone rings)

1167
01:37:56,245 --> 01:37:57,287
Get out.

1168
01:37:58,998 --> 01:38:01,416
(Verne) 'Get out of the car now.'

1169
01:38:02,626 --> 01:38:04,168
- Walter?
- 'Michael.'

1170
01:38:04,295 --> 01:38:07,213
- Yeah.
- 'Thank God you're there.'

1171
01:38:10,801 --> 01:38:13,011
You have eight...

1172
01:38:13,137 --> 01:38:15,889
'...six...five...'

1173
01:38:16,015 --> 01:38:20,268
...four...three...
Get out of the car.

1174
01:38:23,606 --> 01:38:26,691
- Tell him to stay off the phone.
- 'But you're on it?'

1175
01:38:26,817 --> 01:38:30,194
- Am I clean?
- Just keep walking.

1176
01:38:30,321 --> 01:38:36,117
- You copy. Am I clean?
- Keep moving. He's walking to the car.

1177
01:38:36,243 --> 01:38:40,038
(Walter) 'Just to let him know
you're on the way. I'll get back to you.

1178
01:38:40,164 --> 01:38:43,666
- 'Just give me two minutes.'
- All right. I'll be in the car.

1179
01:38:45,336 --> 01:38:50,715
(Partner) 'I didn't finish.
It's in, but I don't know.'

1180
01:39:17,368 --> 01:39:21,329
It's loose. I got a pulse.
He's up there somewhere, but...

1181
01:39:23,082 --> 01:39:25,041
Let's find a way to boost the signal.

1182
01:39:32,341 --> 01:39:35,176
(Michael) 'I don't know
what Walter promised you.'

1183
01:39:35,302 --> 01:39:39,222
(Greer) A miracle worker! On the phone,
20 minutes ago. Direct quote.

1184
01:39:39,348 --> 01:39:43,101
- "I'm sending you a miracle worker."
- He misspoke.

1185
01:39:43,227 --> 01:39:48,064
About the fact that you are the firm's
fixer? Or that you're any good at it?

1186
01:39:51,360 --> 01:39:54,487
(Knocking)
We're up. Just got a signal.

1187
01:40:17,594 --> 01:40:20,722
(Verne) There's nothing back this way.
What's he doing?

1188
01:40:20,848 --> 01:40:23,433
- Maybe he's lost.
- Wait a minute.

1189
01:40:23,559 --> 01:40:25,435
That's him.

1190
01:40:27,312 --> 01:40:29,689
- He was alone, right?
- Yeah, I think so.

1191
01:40:29,815 --> 01:40:31,733
Call it, yes or no?

1192
01:40:34,069 --> 01:40:35,778
We got to turn around.

1193
01:41:05,809 --> 01:41:09,854
- Talk to me.
- Now it's strobing.

1194
01:41:09,980 --> 01:41:11,856
No, we're good. Just keep going.

1195
01:41:27,623 --> 01:41:29,999
- He turned. Somehow he turned.
- Where?

1196
01:41:30,125 --> 01:41:33,252
- He took a left.
- I don't have a left.

1197
01:41:42,930 --> 01:41:46,182
- East. He's southeast.
- So we missed it?

1198
01:41:46,308 --> 01:41:48,476
- Or the grid is wrong.
- Hang on.

1199
01:41:58,529 --> 01:42:01,405
- We gotta go back to one.
- Where's our one?

1200
01:42:01,532 --> 01:42:04,867
Half a mile straight ahead.
Keep driving. Just go.

1201
01:42:11,416 --> 01:42:15,253
- We're closing, but that's west.
- Is it the signal or the grid?

1202
01:42:15,379 --> 01:42:18,214
- Both. It keeps dropping out.
- Damn it.

1203
01:43:09,391 --> 01:43:11,475
Give me the cell.

1204
01:43:13,562 --> 01:43:15,438
Our signal's good.

1205
01:43:15,564 --> 01:43:17,106
(Dialling)

1206
01:43:18,483 --> 01:43:20,484
(Explosion)

1207
01:43:20,611 --> 01:43:22,904
(Horses neigh)

1208
01:44:53,203 --> 01:44:55,413
What?

1209
01:44:56,873 --> 01:45:00,835
- Thanks, Mickey.
- Just get me out of here.

1210
01:45:07,551 --> 01:45:12,263
I want a meeting scheduled on this,
soon as we can. Thursday at the latest.

1211
01:45:12,389 --> 01:45:15,141
- Have someone from equity there...
- Jeff?

1212
01:45:15,267 --> 01:45:17,351
- Yeah?
- Did you hear?

1213
01:45:17,477 --> 01:45:20,104
- Yeah, they closed U/North.
- No. Michael Clayton.

1214
01:45:20,230 --> 01:45:23,941
- What?
- Car bomb. Upstate. This morning.

1215
01:45:24,067 --> 01:45:28,487
- He was killed.
- What?

1216
01:45:28,613 --> 01:45:30,239
Holy shit.

1217
01:45:38,665 --> 01:45:40,624
(Sighs heavily)

1218
01:45:44,463 --> 01:45:49,008
(Karen) 'It has been and it remains
the U/North position

1219
01:45:49,134 --> 01:45:53,596
'that this lawsuit
is baseless and without merit.'

1220
01:45:53,722 --> 01:45:57,975
Our reluctance to negotiate
was anchored by this belief

1221
01:45:58,101 --> 01:46:03,189
and reinforced by the plaintiffs'
demand for settlement

1222
01:46:03,315 --> 01:46:06,067
in excess of $3bn.

1223
01:46:06,193 --> 01:46:09,570
The reason that
we are all here today is

1224
01:46:09,696 --> 01:46:13,616
that several key elements in the case
have changed.

1225
01:46:13,742 --> 01:46:19,330
'You all have a tentative
proposal packet

1226
01:46:19,456 --> 01:46:23,793
'which outlines the details,
but the bottom line is this...

1227
01:46:23,919 --> 01:46:26,504
'Over the past several months
we had gotten word'

1228
01:46:26,630 --> 01:46:29,173
that the plaintiffs
were growing impatient

1229
01:46:29,299 --> 01:46:34,011
and were in the process
of revising their settlement numbers.

1230
01:46:34,137 --> 01:46:40,267
'We learned the plaintiffs' attorneys'
fees were capped at 32 percent

1231
01:46:40,394 --> 01:46:42,353
'up to $400mn,'

1232
01:46:42,479 --> 01:46:47,108
above which,
their fees dropped to 24 percent.

1233
01:46:47,234 --> 01:46:53,280
We knew there would be a motivational
dead zone for them in the middle.

1234
01:46:53,407 --> 01:47:00,538
Finally, our finance team informed us
that they had run the numbers

1235
01:47:00,664 --> 01:47:05,626
and that the tax benefit, provided
we bring the settlement in under 600mn

1236
01:47:05,752 --> 01:47:08,337
and within this fiscal year,

1237
01:47:08,463 --> 01:47:14,301
that the write-off on this settlement
would essentially pay for itself.

1238
01:47:14,428 --> 01:47:19,056
'The package that you have before you
represents, in my judgment,

1239
01:47:19,182 --> 01:47:24,228
'the strongest possible position for
our company under the circumstances.

1240
01:47:24,354 --> 01:47:26,105
'And, as Chief Counsel,'

1241
01:47:26,231 --> 01:47:30,484
it is my recommendation
that this proposal be confirmed.

1242
01:47:30,610 --> 01:47:34,280
Thank you, Karen. If you just give us
a few minutes to talk about it.

1243
01:47:34,406 --> 01:47:37,533
Certainly. I'll be right outside.

1244
01:47:39,035 --> 01:47:39,827
Well...

1245
01:48:03,059 --> 01:48:05,853
How did it go in there?

1246
01:48:07,939 --> 01:48:13,319
Pretty freaky, huh? Did you see Arthur?
He's wandering round here somewhere.

1247
01:48:15,739 --> 01:48:19,450
I'm kidding. Lighten up.

1248
01:48:20,869 --> 01:48:26,040
You got one of these? It's a great
memo. It's an oldie but a goodie.

1249
01:48:28,001 --> 01:48:31,295
- I got your heart racing.
- What do you think you're doing?

1250
01:48:31,421 --> 01:48:34,924
- What do you think I'm doing?
- The suit's over. We have a deal.

1251
01:48:35,050 --> 01:48:37,801
Whatever that is,
it's meaningless at this point.

1252
01:48:37,928 --> 01:48:43,933
I thought you had a tentative proposal.
I didn't realise you'd signed the cheques.

1253
01:48:44,059 --> 01:48:47,561
It's a drag. I got a thousand of these.
What am I gonna do with them?

1254
01:48:47,687 --> 01:48:51,774
- I'm calling Marty.
- Good. Do it. It's a great place to start.

1255
01:48:51,900 --> 01:48:56,403
Let's find out who told him Arthur was
calling Anna. Who tapped those phones.

1256
01:48:56,530 --> 01:49:00,449
This memorandum, even if it's authentic,
which I highly doubt...

1257
01:49:00,534 --> 01:49:04,370
- I know what you did to Arthur.
- It's protected. It belongs to U/North.

1258
01:49:04,496 --> 01:49:06,956
- You killed him.
- It's a case of attorney...

1259
01:49:07,082 --> 01:49:10,751
That's just not the way
to go here, Karen.

1260
01:49:10,877 --> 01:49:13,379
For such a smart person,
you really are lost.

1261
01:49:13,505 --> 01:49:15,172
This conversation's over.

1262
01:49:15,298 --> 01:49:18,842
I'm not the guy that you kill,
I'm the guy that you buy.

1263
01:49:18,969 --> 01:49:21,637
Are you so ****ing blind
you don't see what I am?

1264
01:49:21,763 --> 01:49:25,057
I'm the easiest part of your problem
and you're gonna kill me?

1265
01:49:25,183 --> 01:49:28,561
Don't you know who I am?
I'm a fixer. I'm a bagman.

1266
01:49:28,687 --> 01:49:32,273
I do everything from shoplifting
housewives to bent congressmen

1267
01:49:32,399 --> 01:49:35,192
and you're gonna kill me?

1268
01:49:35,318 --> 01:49:37,987
What do you need, Karen?
Lay it on me.

1269
01:49:38,113 --> 01:49:41,824
You want a carry permit? A heads-up
on an insider trading subpoena?

1270
01:49:41,950 --> 01:49:44,952
I sold out Arthur for 80 grand
and a three-year contract,

1271
01:49:45,078 --> 01:49:47,371
and you're gonna kill me?

1272
01:49:47,497 --> 01:49:51,750
- What do you want?
- What do I want? I want more.

1273
01:49:52,752 --> 01:49:58,340
I want out.
And with this, I want everything.

1274
01:49:59,509 --> 01:50:02,011
- Is there a number?
- Ten is a number.

1275
01:50:02,137 --> 01:50:04,221
Ten? Ten what?

1276
01:50:06,433 --> 01:50:11,729
Ten million? Where do you think
I'm gonna get $1 0mn?

1277
01:50:11,855 --> 01:50:14,064
You know what's great about this?

1278
01:50:14,190 --> 01:50:17,234
Did you read it till the end?
Did you see who signed it?

1279
01:50:17,360 --> 01:50:21,947
Let's go ask Don Jeffries if he wants
to pass the hat for a worthy cause.

1280
01:50:23,825 --> 01:50:26,243
This would have to be
a longer conversation

1281
01:50:26,369 --> 01:50:28,537
and take place somewhere else.

1282
01:50:28,663 --> 01:50:30,623
Where? My car?

1283
01:50:32,125 --> 01:50:35,002
All right. I'm gonna make it easy.

1284
01:50:35,128 --> 01:50:39,006
Let's make it five
and I'll forget about Arthur.

1285
01:50:41,551 --> 01:50:46,305
Five is easier. Yeah, five is something
that we could talk about.

1286
01:50:46,431 --> 01:50:50,434
Good. And then the other five
is to forget about the 468 people

1287
01:50:50,560 --> 01:50:52,811
that you knocked off
with your weed killer.

1288
01:50:52,937 --> 01:50:57,691
- Let me finish up. I'll talk to Don...
- Do I look like I'm negotiating?

1289
01:50:57,817 --> 01:50:59,360
(Don) Karen?

1290
01:50:59,486 --> 01:51:01,695
- One second.
- Everything OK?

1291
01:51:03,239 --> 01:51:04,948
Yes.

1292
01:51:05,075 --> 01:51:08,786
$1 0mn. Bank of my choosing.
Offshore. Immediately.

1293
01:51:08,912 --> 01:51:10,120
- Yes.
- Say it!

1294
01:51:10,246 --> 01:51:14,166
$1 0mn, your account,
the moment this meeting is through.

1295
01:51:14,292 --> 01:51:17,670
- Karen! Everyone's waiting.
- I'm coming, Don.

1296
01:51:17,796 --> 01:51:20,923
- You have a deal.
- You're so ****ed.

1297
01:51:21,049 --> 01:51:24,176
- What?
- You're ****ed.

1298
01:51:24,302 --> 01:51:26,804
- What do you mean?
- Take a wild guess.

1299
01:51:26,930 --> 01:51:30,182
- Is there a problem?
- Let me get a picture.

1300
01:51:30,308 --> 01:51:33,143
- You don't want the money?
- No. You'll need it.

1301
01:51:33,269 --> 01:51:36,313
- Is this fellow bothering you?
- Am I bothering you?

1302
01:51:36,439 --> 01:51:40,359
Karen, I've got a board waiting in there.
What's going on? Who are you?

1303
01:51:40,485 --> 01:51:42,486
I'm Shiva, the god of death.

1304
01:51:42,612 --> 01:51:47,157
(Don) Ron! Ronny, I need security
out here immediately!

1305
01:51:47,283 --> 01:51:52,121
All right. Here we go. That guy right
there, stop him. Grab that guy.

1306
01:51:53,540 --> 01:51:55,791
- What are you doing?
- We're with the NYPD.

1307
01:51:55,917 --> 01:51:58,919
Come with us
and we'll explain everything.

1308
01:51:59,045 --> 01:52:02,172
Check on her. See if she needs
any medical attention.

1309
01:52:02,298 --> 01:52:06,385
(Officer) Nobody leaves.
Cover every exit in the back.

1310
01:52:06,511 --> 01:52:10,013
(Don) Will you please explain to me
what's going on here?

1311
01:52:10,140 --> 01:52:13,934
- Did you get all that?
- Yeah. Got it.

1312
01:52:17,480 --> 01:52:20,357
- You OK?
- Yeah. Just got to get some air.

1313
01:52:20,483 --> 01:52:25,863
Sure. Just...stay close, OK?

1314
01:53:37,185 --> 01:53:40,020
(Driver) So, what are we doing?

1315
01:53:45,944 --> 01:53:48,237
Give me $50 worth.

1316
01:53:49,823 --> 01:53:52,366
Just drive.
