"Because that affects whether they'd fall under" "The health department's jurisdiction." "I don't know -- all they've sent me so far" "Are their tax returns and some inventory databases."

"The clients weren't there," "But there was a big leaf over the door" "With a sign in the window" "That said "only with a valid prescription."" "I am s so, so sorry." "Is it a registered dispensary?" "Yes, we called the secretary of state's office on the way back." "According to proposition 215," "Marijuana is legal in california." "Yeah, but it's still a schedule 1 narcotic" "Under federal law." "Which puts the state and federal law" "On opposite sides of the issue." "Very interesting legal territory." "Look..." "Assuming the dispensary's playing by the rules," "We're fine." "Yes, it's all puppies and sunshine" "As long as our clients" "Are only selling to the chronically ill," "But it's a big pile of something" "If their customers are seventh-graders" "Or they're getting their product from unlicensed growers." "And they're not returning addy's calls." "I-I don't have a great feeling about their business practices." "That's a feeling, malcolm, not a fact." "Barring fraud, we are obliged" "To perform contracted services for our client." "Did they, by any chance, lie about what their business was?" "Not so much lie" "As not answer the direct question I didn't ask them." "I wouldn't have signed them if I'd known." "Okay, here's what we're gonna do." "Go ahead and file their articles of incorporation," "Draft their charter as quickly as you can," "And then we will refer them to other counsel." "Right." "Sorry." "Don't worry about it." "You're liam, aren't you?" "Yeah." "Okay." "how was that?" "That was great." "Yeah?" "Was it better than your first kiss?" "Oh, the quest!" "Mm-hmm." "You've been talking to addy." "Yeah." "You know, I think the whole thing is really romantic." "Do you?" "Well, I'm flattered you'd want to help me out." "Mm-hmm." "So..." "No?" "You gave it your all." "That's what counts." "Really?" "And what did you discover about the 2x-7, professor chin?" "High-limit control switches usually turn a furnace off" "At around 175 degrees." "The 2x-7 got as hot as 350." "That would explain" "Some of the extensive injuries the victims experienced." "As you wrote, "deep subcutaneous tissue burns."" "Yes." "And just for my own knowledge," "What does that mean in layman's terms?" "The skin is destroyed," "And the fire affects the tissue below it." "The victim was..." "Literally roasted alive." "And do you use your own equipment" "While running these tests?" "Ms. Branford," "I've been an expert witness at over 200 trials." "I promise -- no one's gonna ask these questions" "At a pre-trial conference." "Professor chin, this is just my first major litigation." "I..." "Want to be fully prepared." "yes." "And my equipment's calibrated monthly." "Thank you." "I was working late last night, I was tired," "And I didn't think it would be " "Women are kissing me at work!" "A romantic man is very intoxicating." "That, I can deal with," "But it's like they all want a grade or something," "Which takes some of the -- what is that smell?" "I don't know." "It smells like cat pee on a pine tree." "Ooh!" "It's from the nathans!" "If that weed is yours..." "It explains the universal popularity of your brownies." "Pick up the phone, I know that you're there." "You send a messenger back to get your marijuana right now." "I'm not kidding." "You don't pick up the phone, I'm gonna call the police." "Mr. Nathan?" "!" "Come get your pot!" "No, I don't care if you heard" "The d.E.A. Was planning a raid." "It is not my job to protect your inventory." "Covered by privilege?" "Yeah, that's -- that's for information, not for contraband." "I'm not keeping it." "I'm gonna flush it." "As soon as I hang up this phone, I'm gonna " "Mr. " " Hello?" "Why don't you and I go talk to cliff?" "I need to speak to you now." "You need to back off." "What are you talking about?" "This is between you and me." "Don't make it about other people." "I have an emergency partners meeting to get to," "So I don't have time for this right here, right now." "Then I'll get right to the point." "Our relationship is over." "Great." "That means that there's really no point" "To keep talking about it." "It's not that easy, cliff." "You made promises to me." "I never said that I would leave my wife." "No, but you said when I passed the bar, I could work here." "Katie, does you being a lawyer here" "Really seem like a good idea for either of us?" "I just need to know you're gonna do" "What you said you were gonna do" "So I don't have to tell susan how untrustworthy you are." "Do you honestly think that I would trust you" "To keep your mouth shut?" "I already told susan." "When you lie, you furrow your brow." "Hmm." "Don't you have somewhere to be?" "Mm-hmm." "Can I ask you a personal question?" "Shoot." "I slept with this woman " "Walk away." "I didn't tell you anything about the situation." "You don't have to." "You're not the kind of guy who brags about having sex." "And if there's a bigger problem " "Say, someone's in a family way " "Then you're too decent to talk out of school." "So that means either, "a," the woman's crazy," ""b," the situation's unbearably complicated " "Like maybe she's got a homicidal ex-husband or something " "Or "c," some combination of "a" and "b,"" "And it all adds up to "walk away."" "Even if I like her?" "No." "Then you should run away." "It's like a band-aid -- better to get it off quickly." "Now that we're holding 10 pounds of sweet leaf," "How are you feeling about the interesting" "Legal possibilities of medical marijuana now?" "It was a great help to jessica when she was ill." "Want to keep an open mind, but that doesn't mean" "I want 10 grand of dope sitting in my office." "So make it disappear?" "You're the magician." "Hey, I don't know what's going on," "But the d.E.A. Is downstairs, and they told the guard" "They had a warrant, so I told them" "That counsel would be down in a minute to review it," "But they're waiting." "Well, aren't you smart." "It's not the medellín we're talking about." "They are pot dealers, hart." "They are state-licensed dispensers." "They delivered pot to the office." "They probably knew they were in trouble." "Listen, from a federal perspective," "We are part of a criminal conspiracy." "That is r.I.C.O., hart -- racketeering." "No, they delivered it via messenger," "So there's no intent on our part." "You still should have told us the minute she knew what business they were in." "What would you have done, exactly, cliff?" "I would have fired the client." "We have no grounds." "We are lawyers." "We make stuff up all the time." "Their documents could have been out of order." "They're child molesters." "They wore white shoes after labor day." "This isn't funny." "It's a little funny." "The d.E.A. Is downstairs." "They need someone to vet their warrant." "Rowdy, put the bag someplace public." "Make sure none of our people can be tied to it." "I'll go downstairs." "Come on." "You two, go find our pot dealers." "Go!" "And then he falls off the barstool." "No wonder the guy can't get a second date." "This is a little below your pay grade, isn't it, dad?" "I wanted to see you in action." "Okay, today, we're doing witnesses, then stipulations." "Your honor, I'd like to introduce" "The plaintiff's list of witnesses..." "And the affidavits detailing the witnesses' testimony." "Mm." "Defense is prepared to stipulate to the facts" "Of the expert witnesses as presented." "Counselor?" "So he's willing to agree" "To let their testimony in uncontested?" "That's what "stipulate" means." "I am going to need a recess to make a quick phone call " "I apologize, your honor." "Clearly, plaintiff's counsel" "Doesn't value your time enough to send someone" "With the authority to make a simple decision." "Of course I respect the court's time." "Then what do you say?" "We agree." "So ordered." "I'm benjamin faraz with the d.A.'s office." "We were tipped that you're holding" "A felony amount of narcotics." "Do your thing." "Find it." "All right, all of you are suspects." "Sterling is on lockdown" "Pending a criminal investigation." "That won't be necessary, mr." "Faraz." "Hart, you don't have to -- shh!" "Marijuana's mine." "Hart." "Hands behind your head, please." "You have the right to remain silent." "Anything you say can and will be used against you." "He was holding pot for the nathans," "So I can't, in good conscience, recommend bail." "Based on what?" "He has over a pound of high-grade marijuana." "I can't rule out intent to distribute." "Distribute?" "!" "Yes." "You're just pissed because hart beat you" "In the burroughs case three years ago." "That would be small of me, wouldn't it?" "Well, yeah, but, then again," "You have "small" written all over your Face." "Hart sterling is a name partner" "In a multinational law firm." "He's on the board of several community organizations." "He owns property within the city limits." "He's not a flight risk." "He knows this." "Nice try, but no." "I'm gonna nail your ass, ben." "Oh, you're welcome to try." "The judge scheduled a hearing" "To discuss the sufficiency of notice for Thursday," "And that's his order for you to review." "You stipulated our expert witnesses' testimony?" "Yes." "I thought, this way, our..." "Expert witnesses' facts get onto the record" "Exactly as we " "Facts?" "Y-y-you -- you think this is about facts?" "That the jury, they can read about this on a piece of paper?" "When I'm in court, I tell a story" "About damsels in towers." "I tell stories about fire-breathing dragons." "See, 'cause I'm the knight in shining armor" "And you have reduced me " "You have reduced me to the guy in a suit" "Showing a jury spreadsheets?" "!" "I'm sorry." "That's supposed to make it better?" "These people suffered a fire so hot," "It made their flesh melt." "I know." "You know." "You know because our expert witness," "He told you about it, not because you read about it" "In some boring affidavit that we stipulated to." "We had the emotional high ground here," "And you have cost our clients" "Millions of dollars in damages " "Damages that they deserve." "I am..." "Very disappointed." "I expected more from you." "We need to file that one." "Thank you very much." "God." "My dad tricked me." ""hi." "I'm little beth." "I'm important." "Pay attention to me."" "He just kept pushing my buttons" "Until my brain shut off." "Any of us could have made that same mistake." "I doubt it." "Oh, and then cliff said he was disappointed in me." "I'm sorry." "Anne crawford lost her husband." "What if she gets less than she deserves" "Or nothing at all" "Because I kept our expert witness off the stand?" "Hey, liam, can I try to be " "Oh, I'm sorry." "There's not gonna be any more kissing today." "Okay." "Sorry." "Do I even want to know?" "No." "We are alleging product liability." "It is grounded in tort." "What if I found a new cause of action?" "Could I reintroduce a witness to the stand?" "I would think so, as long as his expertise relates to it." "Then that's what we're gonna do." "That's what we're gonna do." "I still have a motion to finish." "Beth?" "Hello?" "I " "Do you think they knew the d.E.A. Was after them" "When they came to see me?" "Yes." "They just needed a reputable firm to hold their stuff?" "Yes." "You think I'm a patsy, don't you?" "Well, I-I think you're a very nice, very naive woman." "So, patsy?" "Yes." "Um..." "They're closed." "But I-I got chemo tomorrow, and I'm almost out of medicine." "Well, we'd be happy to call the nathans for you." "Do you know where they are?" "Are you the feds?" "no, no." "Malcolm bennett." "We're the nathans' lawyers." "This is not cool." "I already paid to fill the prescription." "Well, once we track them down, we could " "Wait." "Did you say you already paid?" "Yeah." "That's..." "The way they work." "Do you have a customer list?" "Yeah, back at the office." "Sir, we're gonna help you." "But first, we need you to help us." "Anything in the client files to support vosburg v. Putney?" "Inappropriate touching?" "My case is about exploding furnaces." "Which touched the plaintiffs with fire." "Those are the affidavits" "From all the engineers who worked on the 2x-7." "They're all the same " "What they say, how they said it, when they said it " "Except this one." "Frank mason." "This was notarized two months after the others." "He says the prototype furnace functioned as designed." "Yes, but he doesn't talk about" "The tests done on the production models," "And every other engineer does." "My dad is the most buttoned-up guy you'll ever meet." "He does not like outliers." "He would want every testimony to be the same." "Otherwise, it creates doubt." "It could be nothing." "Except frank mason quit the company" "Two weeks after he signed this document." "Which means he knows something," "Which means I have to find him." "You're really charged up about this." "I messed up." "I have to fix it." "I have to help those victims." "Can I help you?" "Hi." "Um..." "Could you fix this?" "This couldn't have cost more than $15." "It's gonna cost you $30 to fix it." "Would you believe it" "If I told you it had sentimental value?" "You used to work for mckenzie, didn't you?" "You're a lawyer, aren't you?" "I'm a woman with a clock that needs fixing," "Who also happens to think" "You didn't want to say the 2x-7 furnace was okay." "I signed a confidentiality agreement." "Look, I'll compel you to testify." "I'll prove that you perjured yourself" "When you signed that affidavit, and you will go to jail." "I didn't perjure myself." "Your affidavit doesn't say" "That the production models were safe," "And all the others do." "It's the lie you refused to tell." "This is anne crawford." "Her husband spent two weeks in the burn unit." "She stayed by his side the entire time." "She couldn't even touch him, due to risk of infection." "So she couldn't hold his hand..." "Or kiss him "goodbye."" "She just had to sit and watch..." "Until he died." "I didn't want to sign anything." "You wanted to do the right thing." "Now you're getting another chance." "Your honor, there is no evidence" "That indicates hart sterling is engaged" "In any kind of criminal enterprise." "Except for the marijuana he said was his." "He was simply trying to protect the livelihood" "Of 200 employees at our firm." "The pot had been delivered by a messenger" "Indicating it was client materials." "It was in the office for less than an hour." "Your honor, for the client" "To have trusted that much pot to sterling" "Indicates a meaningful business relationship." "It's a lot of po counselor." "Your honor, clients do crazy things," "But that doesn't mean " "Could we have a sht recess?" "What?" "That's bold." "Your honor?" "Keep it short." "So, what's going on?" "These are patients from theathans' dispensary." "They've agreed to testify to the fact" "They have legal prescriptions and prepaid to fill them." "Prepaid?" "So that means the pot has technically already been purchased." "3 to 4 ounces at a time." "Ha!" "Good job!" "Excellent." "Um, hi." "And what condition are you being treated for, sir?" "I have pancreatic cancer." "Rheumatoid arthritis." "Severe migraines." "And how much medicinal marijuana did you buy from the nathans?" "4 ounces." "Young man: 3 ounces." "4 ounces." "Hmm." "Your honor, obviously," "All of us feel badly for these individuals " "Your honor, these people have prepaid their prescriptions." "Our firm was acting as a bailee " "A legal intermediary." "We were simply holding the pot" "Until its rightful owners could claim it." "And look -- here they are." "How about if I call a recess" "And you two see what you can work out?" "Thank you, your honor." "this is just..." "Hiya." "Did you hear about hart?" "Mm-hmm." "Got a minute?" "Yeah." "What's going on?"
