ISN'T IT HERE?

NOPE, CAN'T FIND IT.

WELL, THAT'S WEIRD.

IT'S USUALLY RIGHT HERE.

WELL, IT'S NOT HERE NOW.

[MUTTERING]

[STAMMERING]

- UH, CAREFUL, PLEASE.

- OH, SORRY.

THANK YOU.

ACTUALLY, IF YOU...

GO OUT THAT WAY?

YEAH, OKAY, GREAT.

TERRIFIC.

WE WON'T SI ON THAT ANYMORE.

OKAY.

THANKS.

THANK YOU.

UH-OH,

YOU'RE MAKING A FACE.

WHAT'S THAT FACE?

YOU HAVE AN IDEA?

MAYBE.

'CAUSE WHEN YOU MAKE

THAT FACE WHEN I'M A D.A.,

I KNOW I'M IN TROUBLE

'CAUSE YOU'RE ABOU TO WIN THE CASE.

ARE YOU ABOU TO WIN THIS CASE?

LET'S NOT GET AHEAD

OF OURSELVES, BUT...

LET'S SAY IT'S A STEP

IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

I LIKE THAT.

YEAH, ME TOO.

GOOD JOB!

VINCENT.

YOU'RE OKAY, FELLAS.

EASY OUT, EASY OUT.

HE'S STILL NO PLAYING HER.

ALL RIGHT.

I'LL GO TALK TO HIM.

HE SAID SHE WAS ONE

OF HIS BEST PLAYERS.

NO, HE SAID THA SHE WASN'T BAD.

HIS TONE SAID:

SHE WAS ONE OF HIS BEST.

YEAH, YEAH, HIS TONE

WAS PRETTY POSITIVE.

I'M GOING

TO GO TALK TO HIM.

WHAT DID WE DECIDE

ABOUT HONEY AND VINEGAR?

YEAH, I'M GOING

TO GIVE HIM SOME VINEGAR.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I LOOKED UP THAT SAYING,

AND YOU KNOW:

WHO SAID IT?

- WHO?

- BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.

NOW, DO YOU REALLY WAN TO MOCK

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN?

MAYBE.

SERIOUSLY?

NO, YOU DON'T.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

OKAY, FELLAS,

EASY OUT, EASY OUT.

- GOOD GAME.

- KIMINSKY, WARM UP.

YOU KNOW, I CAN' HELP BUT NOTICE

THAT YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED

THE WHOLE TEAM.

MOST OF THEM.

MOST OF THEM, YES.

MOST OF THEM.

BUT NOT ALL OF THEM.

NO, NOT ALL OF THEM.

NOT LOU.

NO, NOT LOU...

PLAY THE BALL, PLAY THE BALL!

AH, WHY HAVEN'T YOU PLAYED LOU?

I'LL GET AROUND TO HER.

OH, YOU WILL?

YEP, DON'T YOU WORRY.

IN WHAT INNING?

YOU MEAN, WHAT GAME?

WHAT, SO... YOU'RE NOT GOING

TO USE HER IN THIS GAME?

DON'T THINK SO...

COME ON, BLUE, THAT WAS INSIDE!

DO YOU THINK:

THAT IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE

FOR US TO HAVE A DISCUSSION

ABOUT THIS?

A DISCUSSION?

LIKE COFFEE?

OKAY.

OKAY...

THIS WEEK?

SURE.

IT'S TWO-WAY, BOYS,

TWO-WAY.

WELL?

WELL, IT'S WORKING.

I MEAN, IT MIGHT TAKE

A LITTLE LONGER:

THAN WE ORIGINALLY THOUGHT,

BUT HE'LL COME AROUND.

I GIVE HONEY ONE WEEK,

NO MATTER:

WHAT BEN FRANKLIN SAYS.

JUST TRUST ME.

MS. DARROW WANTED ME

TO TALK TO YOU:

ABOUT WHAT WE ARE.

SO, MY FIRST QUESTION IS...

WHAT ARE WE?

A LAW FIRM.

WRONG.

WE'RE A TRIBE.

A TRIBE IS A GROUP OF PEOPLE

CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER,

CONNECTED TO AN IDEA,

BUT I DON'T THINK

WE REALLY KNOW EACH OTHER.

SO THE FIRST THING

WE'RE GOING TO DO

IS GO AROUND AND TELL EACH OTHER

THREE LITTLE-KNOWN

THINGS ABOUT OURSELVES.

YOU FIRST, ZOEY.

WELL...

I WAS BORN IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

I USED TO BE A MARINE.

I SERVED A TOUR:

IN AFGHANISTAN.

WOW.

I DID NOT KNOW THAT.

YOU NEVER ASKED.

SEE?

YOUR TURN, WINNIE.

UM...

MY FIRST NAME IS GODWIN.

I KNOW, WEIRD.

MY MOTHER:

WAS A HIPPIE,

AND I'M AN EXCELLENT BOWLER.

[CHESTER]:

GOOD.

JO...

MS. DARROW.

I SHOT A MAN IN RENO

JUST TO WATCH HIM DIE.

REALLY?

THAT IS A JOHNNY CASH LYRIC.

I CAN'T... DON'T YOU GUYS

EVEN KNOW YOUR CLASSICS?

[CHUCKLING]

WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU.

WHO'S NEXT?

YOU ARE.

NO, I'M THE MODERATOR.

COME ON.

- CHESTER.

- FAIR IS FAIR.

COME ON, CHESTER.

OKAY.

UH...

I HAVE A SLIGHT CASE OF OCD.

IT TOOK ME FOUR YEARS

TO GET THROUGH LAW SCHOOL...

BUT I GRADUATED:

TOP OF MY CLASS.

MY FATHER'S STILL

ASHAMED OF ME.

HEY, YOU GUYS READY TO GO

TO THE PRE-TRIAL HEARING?

EVERYBODY READY?

[JOANNA]:
GIVE THEM

A MINUTE.

THEY'RE BONDING.

IT'S OKAY.

I FOUND OUT SOMETHING

INTERESTING:

ABOUT THE WOMAN:

WHO OWNED THE GUN.

OH, MRS. HUDDLESTON, YEAH.

YEAH, SHE USED TO BE A NANNY.

AMONG THE CHILDREN

THAT SHE CARED FOR...

LINDA RUTHERFORD.

USED TO BE LINDA CARLTON.

NOW SHE'S LINDA YASBECK.

TERRY'S WIDOW.

EXACTLY.

SHE GOES TO VISIT HER

EVERY OTHER MONTH.

SO SHE COULD HAVE STOLEN

THE GUN?

MANY TIMES OVER.

YOU DID A GOOD JOB, SCOTT.

DIDN'T I?

OKAY, NOW, THIS IS JUS THE PRE-TRIAL HEARING.

YOU DON'T HAVE

TO DO ANYTHING.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO

ASK YOU ANY QUESTIONS.

JUST... BE HERE.

RIGHT, AND

LOOK INNOCENT.

WHICH YOU ARE, RIGHT?

YES!

OKAY.

SHE'S GOOD.

DON'T UNDERESTIMATE HER.

I NEVER UNDERESTIMATE PEOPLE.

GOOD.

WHY, IS SHE BETTER THAN I AM?

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

NO, OF COURSE NOT!

WHY DO YOU THINK I HIRED YOU,

JUST 'CAUSE YOU'RE CUTE?

- THANK YOU.

- YOU'RE WELCOME.

WAIT, YOU

THINK I'M CUTE?

YEAH.

REALLY?

EVERYBODY THINKS

YOU'RE CUTE.

SO, LIKE...

- HEARING'S THIS WAY.

- OKAY.

I OBJECT.

THERE'S ALREADY BEEN

A GUNSHOT-RESIDUE TES ADMITTED AS EVIDENCE.

THAT IS TRUE, MS. DARROW.

I DON'T MEAN TO DISPARAGE

THE STATE'S TEST.

I ONLY WANT TO VERIFY I AND EXPAND ON IT.

YOUR HONOR,

I DON'T SEE THE NEED

FOR US TO HAVE TO GO OVER--

I DON'T SEE ANY HARM.

I'M GOING TO ALLOW IT.

JUDGE BATCHELLER ALWAYS

SAYS THAT AT FIRST.

I KNOW, CHESTER.

PAY ATTENTION.

SO, DR. ARMSTRONG,

IS THIS THE RESUL OF THE NEW TES YOU ADMINISTERED

ON PHOEBE STRASBERG'S HANDS?

[DR. ARMSTRONG]:
YES.

THE TESTS WERE:

SOME DAYS AFTER THE EVENT,

SO IT WAS DIFFICUL TO OBTAIN ANY DEFINITE RESULTS.

BUT YOU DID?

I DID.

I'M AN EXPERT.

YES, I KNOW,

WE ESTABLISHED THAT,

AND WHAT WERE THE RESULTS

YOU FOUND?

THE RESULTS CAME BACK POSITIVE.

[D.A.]:

I OBJECT AGAIN.

THIS MERELY CONFIRMS

THE STATE'S EVIDENCE,

AND IT'S A WASTE

OF THE COURT'S TIME.

I BEG THE COURT'S INDULGENCE,

YOUR HONOR.

FOR A FEW MORE MINUTES,

MS. DARROW.

THANK YOU.

SO, IT CAME BACK POSITIVE

FOR GUNSHOT RESIDUE?

[DR. ARMSTRONG]:

YES.

[CLAIRE]:

WHAT ELSE?

OBJECTION!

OVERRULED.

BRAKE FLUID.

BRAKE FLUID?

LIKE, FROM A CAR?

[DR. ARMSTRONG]:
INDEED.

IT COULD BE EITHER ONE.

BRAKE FLUID CAN PRODUCE

A FALSE POSITIVE IN A GSR TEST.

NO FURTHER QUESTIONS,

YOUR HONOR.

SCORE ONE FOR MS. DARROW.

[JUDGE]:
ALTHOUGH

THE DEFENSE HAS PRESENTED

SOME SERIOUS QUESTIONS

AS TO THE VALIDITY

OF THE GSR TEST,

THE COURT FEELS:

THAT THE STATE'S CASE

IS STRONG ENOUGH TO GO TO TRIAL.

BAIL HAS BEEN SE FOR $500,000.

[RAPPING GAVEL]

I'LL FIND A WAY.

SO, COACH REED...

I FEEL FUNNY:

CALLING YOU COACH.

WHAT DO YOUR:

FRIENDS CALL YOU?

COACH.

REALLY?

YOU CAN CALL:

ME JOANNA.

JO?

WHY NOT?

LET'S TALK ABOUT LOU.

WHAT ABOUT HER?

DO YOU THINK:

SHE'S A GOOD PLAYER?

COULD BE.

IF SHE PLAYED MORE?

COULD BE.

SO WHY DON'T YOU

LET HER PLAY MORE...

OR AT ALL?

I DON'T KNOW.

WHY DON'T YOU THINK

I PLAY HER MORE?

BECAUSE SHE'S A GIRL.

- THAT'D BE DISCRIMINATION.

- YES, IT WOULD.

SHE'S ON THE TEAM.

TRUE.

SO I'M NOT DISCRIMINATING

AGAINST HER.

NEXT QUESTION?

I...

GIRLS HAVE EVERY BI AS MUCH RIGH TO PLAY BASEBALL

AS BOYS DO.

OF COURSE THEY DO.

YOU KNOW, THEY'RE

JUST AS STRONG.

THAT'S A MATTER OF OPINION,

I GUESS.

SO ARE YOU WORRIED

ABOUT HER GETTING HURT?

I DON'T WAN ANY OF MY KIDS TO GET HURT,

THE BOYS OR THE GIRLS.

OH, SO YOU'RE

PROTECTING HER,

AND THAT'S WHY YOU'RE

NOT LETTING HER PLAY?

IT'S A BOY'S GAME, JO.

IT'S NOT "JO",

IT'S JOANNA.

NO, IT'S MS. DARROW,

AND WHO SAYS:

IT'S A BOY'S GAME?
