Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Ten years, zero losses.
00:00:02Throughout your whole career, there was not a single case that she could not win.
00:00:07Let's give a warm round of applause to the black widow of the legal world, Vicky Sterling.
00:00:14Not only God would present to you the truth in this world,
00:00:18as far as I'm concerned, a lawyer should do whatever it takes to win the case.
00:00:26No, please. No, no, please.
00:00:30Please. No, please.
00:00:34Dad?
00:00:37Dad, your timing really sucks. I was just...
00:00:42Idiot!
00:00:43Your whole case is hanging by a thread and you pull this shit with my secretary?
00:00:50Are you trying to spend the rest of your life in jail?
00:00:54Dad, you're the real estate king of the East Coast.
00:00:57That bitch that's trying to fucking sue me?
00:01:00No money, no power.
00:01:02Turning over the case for you is a piece of cake.
00:01:05That smug little attitude is exactly why the whole world is on her side right now!
00:01:13Mark, I managed to get Vicky Sterling assigned to your case.
00:01:17Sterling?
00:01:18The Black Widow?
00:01:20That's right.
00:01:21And that's why today, you're going to go down to the courthouse at 4 p.m.
00:01:25and you're going to keep your head down and you're going to keep your mouth shut and you're not going
00:01:30to do anything to piss Miss Sterling off.
00:01:33Yeah.
00:01:34Dad.
00:01:35I got it.
00:01:36Repeat it.
00:01:38You're not going to do anything to piss Vicky Sterling off or you're going to spend the rest of your
00:01:43fucking life in jail!
00:01:47Okay, I'm not going to piss Sterling off so I don't spend the rest of my life in jail!
00:01:55Because if you fuck up again, I won't be able to do anything else to help you anymore.
00:02:03But I thought Sterling didn't take cases easily.
00:02:06How have you talked her into this?
00:02:07Her youngest son has ALS.
00:02:09And I'm the only one who can get a hold of her special medication.
00:02:14And?
00:02:15And I gave her the Deep Blue Heart.
00:02:18The Deep Blue Heart?
00:02:20That's the Moretti family heirloom!
00:02:26So this is the legendary Deep Blue Heart.
00:02:29Mom, this birthday present is way too expensive.
00:02:32Did you take on some dangerous case again?
00:02:34Don't worry about me, sweetheart.
00:02:36Today is your 18th birthday!
00:02:38Your only job today is to enjoy the surprise.
00:02:41Mom, you don't have to work yourself to death for me and my brother.
00:02:45We just want you to relax a little.
00:02:47Yeah, ma-ma.
00:02:49All of those dangerous cases, you don't have to take them.
00:02:52Oh, you silly kids.
00:02:54For you two, I really don't mind a bit of exhaustion.
00:02:57Ma'am, Maradi's hearing starts in two hours.
00:03:00We should head out.
00:03:01All right, got it.
00:03:02Okay, my darlings, I gotta go.
00:03:04Bye.
00:03:04Bye, bye.
00:03:06Bye, Mom.
00:03:08Peace.
00:03:08Don't worry, let me take some pictures for you.
00:03:12Okay.
00:03:18Boss, relax.
00:03:20Mr. Harrison locked in Sterling for you, right?
00:03:22With her in your case, you are untouchable.
00:03:24Untouchable?
00:03:24The whole internet is watching my little scandal.
00:03:27My dad's so pissed he knew he skinned me alive.
00:03:29Fuck it, let's eat.
00:03:30Wow, it's so beautiful.
00:03:35Well, well.
00:03:37Looks like the paparazzi these days are fearless.
00:03:41What are you doing?
00:03:45What are you doing?
00:03:46Oh, look.
00:03:48A cripple.
00:03:52You got guts, kid.
00:03:53Follow me in here for this shot?
00:03:55Cut off me.
00:03:56I let you little paparazzi rats run wild for too long.
00:04:00No, sir.
00:04:01Sir.
00:04:01You've got it all wrong.
00:04:03He wasn't taking photos of you.
00:04:04He was taking photos for me.
00:04:06Look.
00:04:08If you don't believe me,
00:04:10just check for yourself.
00:04:16Well, look here.
00:04:19I'm misunderstanding.
00:04:21Here.
00:04:21Let me apologize.
00:04:27Those dead legs
00:04:28are an eyesore.
00:04:30This place should put up a sign.
00:04:32No cripples,
00:04:33no strays.
00:04:34Come on.
00:04:35We're eating somewhere else.
00:04:41Sir.
00:04:42You owe me an apology.
00:04:47What did you just say?
00:04:49I said
00:04:50you should
00:04:53apologize to me.
00:05:01Sure.
00:05:12You bastards.
00:05:13What are you doing?
00:05:14Sorry, sweetheart.
00:05:16That's just how I apologize.
00:05:18Show him we mean it.
00:05:20No.
00:05:21No.
00:05:21Stop it.
00:05:22Stop it, you jerk.
00:05:23Stop.
00:05:24Stop it, you jerk.
00:05:25Stop it.
00:05:26Stop it.
00:05:26Stop it.

00:05:56Lexington Avenue.
00:06:02We want justice.
00:06:05We want justice.
00:06:07We want justice.
00:06:10We want justice.
00:06:12We want justice.
00:06:12We want justice.
00:06:12Miss Sterling,
00:06:13finally.
00:06:14These brain-dead peasants
00:06:16are trying to destroy
00:06:16my son's future.
00:06:18Miss Sterling,
00:06:19here are the materials
00:06:20with this case.
00:06:22About your son's medication,
00:06:25the experimental treatment,
00:06:27I've arranged everything.
00:06:28Well, as long as your son
00:06:29is innocent,
00:06:30I guarantee a win.
00:06:31Innocent?
00:06:32Sure.
00:06:34I'm going to head inside.
00:06:39Wait.
00:06:41My kids are in trouble
00:06:42and I need to get to
00:06:43Lexington Avenue now.
00:06:45Um, you go ahead
00:06:46and prep for the hearing
00:06:47and I'll be back
00:06:48before it starts.
00:06:49Yes, ma'am.
00:06:51Oh, sweetheart.
00:06:53You're just my type.
00:06:55Let go of me,
00:06:56you animal.
00:06:57Get out of my hands, sir.
00:07:05Stop.
00:07:09Is that the Deep Blue Heart?
00:07:11Don't tell me
00:07:12they're connected to Sterling.
00:07:15Isn't it the Blue Deep Heart
00:07:16of the your dad gave Sterling?
00:07:20Where did you get this?
00:07:22Give it back.
00:07:23My mom gave that to me.
00:07:24You're lying.
00:07:25The Heart of the Deep
00:07:25is the Moretti family heirloom.
00:07:27Your kind could never afford it.
00:07:28This must be a fate.
00:07:30So that's the story.
00:07:32Sweetheart,
00:07:33there's no point
00:07:33in wearing cheap replicas.
00:07:35But if you play nice with me,
00:07:36I can buy you a real one.
00:07:38Dream on, scum.
00:07:39You still don't get it!
00:07:43You bastard!
00:07:45Let go of my sister!
00:07:51No!
00:07:53Seems like the first time
00:07:54wasn't enough.
00:07:55Don't hold back.
00:07:56No, no, no, no!
00:07:57Please stop!
00:07:58No!
00:07:58His condition is serious.
00:08:00He won't survive it!
00:08:01Pathetic little beauty.
00:08:04It's your birthday.
00:08:08I'll tell you what.
00:08:10I'll let the cripple go.
00:08:12If you get down on your knees
00:08:13and lick
00:08:15my shoe clean.
00:08:18Happy birthday.
00:08:24Why isn't she picking up?
00:08:28How much longer?
00:08:29Cross this intersection
00:08:30and we'll be right there, ma'am.
00:08:33What are you waiting for, sweetheart?
00:08:35Go on.
00:08:37You're insane!
00:08:38I have legal rights!
00:08:40You can't just do this!
00:08:41Legal rights?
00:08:42Tell her who I am.
00:08:43Boss is the only son
00:08:45of Moretti family.
00:08:46East Coast real estate royalty.
00:08:47If he snaps his fingers,
00:08:49the best lawyers in the country
00:08:50will rewrite the law for him.
00:08:52Are you ready, family?
00:08:53You hear that, sweetheart?
00:08:55You want to keep
00:08:55lecturing me about the law?
00:08:57I wish I had another little chat
00:08:58with your crippled brother.
00:09:02No, no, no, no!
00:09:03I, I, I...
00:09:05I'll do it.
00:09:07That's more like it.
00:09:08Go on.
00:09:09That's all right.
00:09:11No, Paul.
00:09:12I won't let them hurt you.
00:09:14Lick it.
00:09:15I want to see your face
00:09:17in the reflection.
00:09:45Good little dog.
00:09:49I did what you asked.
00:09:50Now let us go.
00:09:52Go?
00:09:52Who said I was done playing?
00:09:54What do you mean?
00:09:57I changed my mind.
00:09:59Problem?
00:10:00Only your kind.
00:10:01Stick to rules and promises.
00:10:04I was born with the privilege
00:10:06to break them.
00:10:07Look at you.
00:10:08You're gorgeous.
00:10:10From the first time
00:10:11you got down on your knees
00:10:11and licked my shoe,
00:10:13I could barely hold myself back.
00:10:14Don't come any closer.
00:10:16Let go of my sister.
00:10:18Get the fuck off me.
00:10:21You like it down there?
00:10:23Put him somewhere
00:10:24with a better view.
00:10:25No.
00:10:30Watch closely
00:10:31cripple
00:10:32while your pretty sister
00:10:33begs under me.
00:10:38You bastards.
00:10:41If you touch me,
00:10:42I swear,
00:10:43I don't care who you are,
00:10:44I'll sue you.
00:10:45Oh, yeah, really?
00:10:46That's what our last bitch said.
00:10:48But with attorney Sterling
00:10:49protecting me,
00:10:50I'm untouchable.
00:10:51Sterling?
00:10:53My mom would never
00:10:55defend someone like you.
00:10:56You're lying.
00:10:57What?
00:10:58Sterling is your mother.
00:10:59Do you really want to lie
00:11:00to my face right now?
00:11:03I gotta think.
00:11:05What punishment fits you best?
00:11:09No.
00:11:10Sarah.
00:11:12Sarah, no.
00:11:15She's there.
00:11:18No.
00:11:20No, don't take her.
00:11:24Get off my daughter!
00:11:29Get off my daughter!
00:11:32Mom!
00:11:34Mom!
00:11:35You're finally here.
00:11:36Please help, Paul.
00:11:37Help me, Mom!
00:11:39Oh, my God!
00:11:43Move!
00:11:44No.
00:11:45I don't want to.
00:11:46I'm not done having fun yet.
00:11:47I'm warning you.
00:11:48You've already committed
00:11:49disturbing to peace
00:11:50and intentional assault
00:11:52and if you don't fucking stop now,
00:11:54I'm going to make sure
00:11:54you rot in prison for life.
00:11:56Look at you, Grandma.
00:11:57You want to sue me?
00:11:59What a shame.
00:12:00There's so many people
00:12:01lining up to sue me
00:12:02they're going to need
00:12:02a ticket system.
00:12:03I'll admit,
00:12:04you still got it.
00:12:06Let me take care of you.
00:12:08Paul, get back!
00:12:09Or I'm going to submit
00:12:10this video into evidence

00:12:14In this world,
00:12:15power and status rule.
00:12:17I can buy off judges.
00:12:18I can fake evidence.
00:12:20Any videos you have
00:12:21won't lay a finger on me.

00:12:23no respect for the law.

00:12:44I'll give you
00:12:44one last chance
00:12:46to do as I say.

00:12:50who's going to die.

00:13:27less than an hour.
00:13:28The real Sterling
00:13:29would not show up here
00:13:30instead of the courthouse.
00:13:31Yeah.
00:13:32By now,
00:13:32Sterling should be
00:13:33prepping in court,
00:13:34not hanging out here.

00:16:06Ms. Sterling.
00:16:07But how is she hurt so badly?
00:16:08Ms. Sterling?

00:16:36Mom!
00:16:37Mom!
00:16:38Mom!
00:16:40Mom!
00:16:41Mom!
00:16:46I should have protected you sooner.
00:16:49No, Mom.
00:16:50It's him.
00:16:51He's a monster.
00:16:52Mom, but you're,
00:16:53you're the best lawyer.
00:16:56You should go to jail.
00:16:59I will.
00:16:59I will.
00:17:00I promise I will.
00:17:01Officer,
00:17:02can you please take my children
00:17:03to the hospital?
00:17:04There's something important
00:17:05I need to do first.
00:17:14William,
00:17:15get every document
00:17:15you can on the plaintiff.
00:17:17I've made up my mind.
00:17:18I'm dropping them
00:17:18a ready case.
00:17:21Kids,
00:17:21I swear I'll make
00:17:22that devil pay.
00:17:23Justice will be served
00:17:25for all of us.
00:17:26I can't believe Sterling's
00:17:27defending a rapist.
00:17:28She's the undefeated
00:17:29black widow.
00:17:30That poor girl.
00:17:31I'm not surprised.
00:17:32This is when she
00:17:33care about justice.
00:17:35Why?
00:17:36Why does he get to hurt people
00:17:38and walk free
00:17:39and suffer every day?
00:17:42God, it's not fair.
00:17:44You watch your mouth.
00:17:45My son's innocent
00:17:47and you're trying
00:17:47to frame him?
00:17:49Sterling,
00:17:50pay no attention
00:17:51to her lies.
00:17:52I don't blindly
00:17:54believe people's stories.
00:17:55I believe in the law
00:17:56and the truth.
00:17:57Well, sure.
00:17:59And, Miss Sterling,
00:18:00if you would decide
00:18:01I'm sure the truth
00:18:02will prevail
00:18:03in clearing his name.
00:18:04The plaintiff's attorney
00:18:05may now enter.
00:18:08Oh, God.
00:18:09Sterling's reputation
00:18:10scared the lawyer off.
00:18:11Hear that?
00:18:12Your pathetic lawyer bailed.
00:18:14You're going down.
00:18:18Maybe I shouldn't
00:18:19have just spoken up.
00:18:21Go with it, guys.
00:18:21Morettis.
00:18:22How could I not expect
00:18:24to pay the price?
00:18:26So stupid.
00:18:30Your Honor,
00:18:31in this trial,
00:18:32I will now be defending
00:18:34the plaintiff,
00:18:35Miss Lucy Carter.
00:18:38What?
00:18:41Your Honor,
00:18:42in this trial,
00:18:43I will now be defending
00:18:45the plaintiff,
00:18:46Miss Lucy Carter.
00:18:47What?
00:18:49Miss Sterling,
00:18:50you're supposed
00:18:50to be representing
00:18:51my son.
00:18:52What are you doing?
00:18:53Isn't Sterling known
00:18:54for defending
00:18:54the rich and powerful?
00:18:55Why would she help
00:18:56a girl like that?
00:18:57Exactly.
00:18:57Sterling charges
00:18:58millions a case.
00:18:59How could the plaintiff
00:18:59possibly afford her?
00:19:01Sterling,
00:19:02I don't have
00:19:02that kind of money.
00:19:03I can't pay you.
00:19:05No need to.
00:19:06I'm not going to
00:19:06charge you a cent.
00:19:07And don't worry,
00:19:09we will win.
00:19:11Vicky,
00:19:11are you sure
00:19:12you wish to withdraw
00:19:13us to defense counsel
00:19:15and instead?
00:19:16Yes, Your Honor,
00:19:17I am certain.
00:19:18Don't forget,
00:19:19I'm the only one
00:19:20that can be
00:19:21a less concerned.
00:19:24Even so,
00:19:25I will not bend the law
00:19:27to defend a monster.
00:19:30Don't be afraid.
00:19:31I know justice
00:19:32can be slow sometimes,
00:19:34but it never really
00:19:34disappears.
00:19:36Today,
00:19:37the devil's day
00:19:38will end.
00:19:40Mark Moretti,
00:19:41final call.
00:19:41You have an alternate
00:19:42counsel.
00:19:43If not,
00:19:43the trial proceeds
00:19:45immediately.
00:19:46Dad.
00:19:47You think I had
00:19:47some kind of
00:19:48backup plan?
00:19:49I don't have
00:19:50anyone else
00:19:51other than
00:19:51Miss Sterling.
00:19:52Oh God,
00:19:53why would she
00:19:53betray us now?
00:19:55Who did this to me?
00:19:57Mr. Moretti,
00:19:58don't you already know?
00:20:00Oh God,
00:20:02what did you do?
00:20:04Tell me,
00:20:05what did you do?
00:20:09What did you do?
00:20:11I,
00:20:12I hit her kids
00:20:13and
00:20:15what?
00:20:16I asked the guys
00:20:17to
00:20:18assault me.
00:20:20Brainless idiot!
00:20:22I should have left you
00:20:23chained up in your room!
00:20:26What do we do now?
00:20:28Okay,
00:20:29okay.
00:20:30You're gonna go
00:20:31apologize to her
00:20:33and I'll handle
00:20:34the rest.
00:20:35Go!
00:20:37Please,
00:20:38Miss Sterling,
00:20:39please.
00:20:40I'm sorry.
00:20:41I,
00:20:42I didn't know
00:20:42it was you.
00:20:43I didn't know
00:20:44it was your kids.
00:20:45Please,
00:20:46it's a misunderstanding.
00:20:48Oh,
00:20:49so it would have been
00:20:50okay if it were
00:20:51someone else's children.
00:20:52It only matters
00:20:53because they happen
00:20:53to be mine?
00:20:54So any children
00:20:56would be
00:20:57okay
00:20:57to be humiliated
00:20:59and,
00:20:59and violently
00:21:00assaulted that way?
00:21:02I,
00:21:03I,
00:21:03Miss Sterling,
00:21:05Mark is very
00:21:06sorry
00:21:07and if
00:21:08you were to
00:21:10continue
00:21:10representing him,
00:21:11I could add
00:21:12another
00:21:1310 million dollars
00:21:14to your fee.
00:21:15The reason
00:21:15that I have
00:21:16an undefeated record
00:21:17is because
00:21:18I actually
00:21:19respect due process.
00:21:20Mark Moretti
00:21:21is on the
00:21:22opposite side
00:21:23of justice
00:21:23and I will
00:21:24not defend
00:21:25a monster
00:21:26beyond saving.
00:21:28Mark Moretti,
00:21:29final call.
00:21:30Do you have
00:21:30an alternate
00:21:30counsel?
00:21:31If not,
00:21:32the trial
00:21:32proceeds immediately.
00:21:34Dad,
00:21:36I can't win
00:21:36this without
00:21:37a lawyer.
00:21:38Defense counsel
00:21:39Vera Cross,
00:21:40now appearing.
00:21:48Dad,
00:21:48this is the new
00:21:49lawyer?
00:21:49I thought
00:21:50you didn't
00:21:51have a backup.
00:21:51Cross came
00:21:52to me
00:21:52before the
00:21:53hearing.
00:21:53She said
00:21:54that Sterling
00:21:54might betray
00:21:55us.
00:21:55She's offered
00:21:56to take
00:21:56your case.
00:22:00What?
00:22:00You're withdrawing
00:22:01from Mark Moretti's
00:22:02defense?
00:22:03All right,
00:22:03I'll switch gears
00:22:04and prep
00:22:04for the printer's
00:22:05house then.
00:22:06Miss Crossing,
00:22:07what are you
00:22:08doing here?
00:22:08I came to
00:22:09deliver the
00:22:10defense documents
00:22:10for Miss Sterling.
00:22:12No need.
00:22:12Destroy them.
00:22:20You're telling me
00:22:21Sterling's dropping
00:22:22my son's case
00:22:23to defend that
00:22:24girl.
00:22:24Why would I
00:22:25believe you?
00:22:25I swear to God,
00:22:26it's true.
00:22:28Sterling is known
00:22:29for her reputation.
00:22:30Why would she
00:22:31suddenly flip?
00:22:32Mr. Murray,
00:22:33there's still time
00:22:34to change
00:22:34counsels.
00:22:35If you hire me
00:22:36now,
00:22:36I promise you
00:22:37your son will
00:22:37walk out of here
00:22:38untouched.
00:22:41You,
00:22:42an attorney
00:22:43who's never
00:22:43handled a case
00:22:44alone.
00:22:45Why would I
00:22:45put my son's
00:22:46life in your
00:22:47hands?
00:22:47In court,
00:22:48Sterling's definitely
00:22:49a problem.
00:22:50But what about
00:22:51outside of court?
00:22:52If we can't
00:22:53get your son
00:22:53acquitted for now,
00:22:54we can get rid
00:22:55of her permanently.
00:23:00Your Honor,
00:23:01defense attorney
00:23:02Vera Cross
00:23:02appearing for the
00:23:03defendant.
00:23:04Isn't she the
00:23:05junior student
00:23:05of Sterling?
00:23:06Why would she
00:23:07go against
00:23:07her own mentor?
00:23:08Vera,
00:23:09whatever you're
00:23:10doing,
00:23:10stop now.
00:23:12Don't defend
00:23:12Bart Moretti.
00:23:14Sterling,
00:23:14did I hear
00:23:15that correctly?
00:23:16You're trying
00:23:17to stop
00:23:17your own
00:23:17student
00:23:18from taking
00:23:18on a case?
00:23:19That's edging
00:23:20dangerously close
00:23:21to a bar
00:23:22of ethics
00:23:22violation.
00:23:23No!
00:23:24He's in the
00:23:24middle of a
00:23:25media firestorm
00:23:26and if you
00:23:26attach yourself
00:23:27to him,
00:23:27you're going
00:23:27to burn
00:23:28down with
00:23:28him.
00:23:29This is
00:23:30your first
00:23:31solo trial.
00:23:32It's going
00:23:32to define
00:23:32your entire
00:23:33career.
00:23:34Think
00:23:34carefully.
00:23:35Save
00:23:36your double
00:23:36standards.
00:23:37You've taken
00:23:37on cases
00:23:38much
00:23:38healthier
00:23:39than this
00:23:39one.
00:23:40Why do you
00:23:40get fame and
00:23:41fortune when I
00:23:42don't even get
00:23:42a right to
00:23:43represent a
00:23:44client?
00:23:44Enough!
00:23:46You taught me
00:23:47that winning
00:23:48is everything
00:23:49and today
00:23:50I'll be the
00:23:51one to break
00:23:52your perfect
00:23:53risk.
00:23:55No one
00:23:55betrays the
00:23:56Morettis without
00:23:57paying a price.
00:23:58You're finished
00:23:59in New York!
00:24:01Both attorneys
00:24:02are here.
00:24:03I hereby announce
00:24:04the court is in
00:24:05session.
00:24:09Plaintiff's
00:24:09counsel,
00:24:10you may present
00:24:11your case.
00:24:13Your Honor,
00:24:14on August 2nd,
00:24:15my client went
00:24:16to the dark
00:24:17forest bar
00:24:17with her
00:24:18friend.
00:24:18All of
00:24:19Sir Lang's
00:24:20defense
00:24:20tragedies
00:24:21right here.
00:24:21She only
00:24:22had 30
00:24:23minutes to
00:24:23prepare for
00:24:24the plaintiff.
00:24:24This time,
00:24:25she's walking
00:24:26straight into
00:24:26defeat.
00:24:27They were
00:24:27there enjoying
00:24:28themselves that
00:24:29evening.
00:24:29Unfortunately,
00:24:30Mark Moretti was
00:24:31there too,
00:24:31known in the
00:24:32neighborhood for
00:24:33pervading upon
00:24:34vulnerable women.
00:24:35And that is the
00:24:36total events
00:24:37recounted about
00:24:38that night and
00:24:39proves that
00:24:40Mark Moretti
00:24:41unquestionably
00:24:42committed rape.
00:24:44Defense
00:24:44counsel,
00:24:45you claim
00:24:46your client
00:24:46is innocent.
00:24:48Yes,
00:24:48Your Honor.
00:24:52Contained in
00:24:53this USB are
00:24:54photographs that
00:24:55prove my
00:24:56client's innocence.
00:24:57I request
00:24:58permission to
00:24:59display them
00:25:00before the
00:25:00court.
00:25:05The files
00:25:06are verified.
00:25:07Permission
00:25:07granted.
00:25:10These images
00:25:11make one
00:25:12thing clear.
00:25:12Their sexual
00:25:13relationship
00:25:14was consensual.
00:25:15And yet,
00:25:16the plaintiff
00:25:17waited three
00:25:17days to
00:25:18report anything.
00:25:19A delay
00:25:19that points
00:25:20directly to
00:25:21leverage.
00:25:22And when
00:25:22that failed,
00:25:24retaliation.
00:25:27Those,
00:25:28those are the
00:25:28exact exhibits
00:25:29I prepared
00:25:30for Mark's
00:25:30defense.
00:25:31No wonder
00:25:32Vera sounded
00:25:32so confident.
00:25:33She's weaponizing
00:25:35my own strategy
00:25:36against me.
00:25:37My lawyer's
00:25:37right.
00:25:38Me and Lucy
00:25:38were dating.
00:25:39It was consensual.
00:25:40And then,
00:25:41one day,
00:25:42she found out
00:25:42I was the
00:25:43Moretti heir.
00:25:44She tried
00:25:44to blackmail me.
00:25:45Said if I
00:25:45didn't pay her
00:25:46ten million
00:25:47dollars,
00:25:47she'd go to
00:25:48police and
00:25:49ruin my name.
00:25:50Your Honor,
00:25:51the defense
00:25:52will be filing
00:25:53for countersuits
00:25:54for extortion
00:25:55and defamation.
00:25:59Were we wrong
00:26:00all along?
00:26:01Is she really
00:26:01just a gold digger
00:26:02framing a rich kid?
00:26:03Threatening him
00:26:04and then reporting
00:26:05him?
00:26:05This is disgusting.
00:26:06No,
00:26:07no,
00:26:07I didn't.
00:26:08These borders
00:26:09are not mine.
00:26:10Please,
00:26:11Miss Sterling.
00:26:15Sterling,
00:26:15these are the
00:26:16material you've
00:26:16spent a whole
00:26:17week constructing.
00:26:18And you think
00:26:19you can beat me
00:26:19with 30 minutes
00:26:20of prep?
00:26:21Impossible.
00:26:23Guess Sterling
00:26:24isn't so legendary
00:26:25after all.
00:26:25Real Evan
00:26:26shut her up.
00:26:27Yeah,
00:26:28all that righteousness
00:26:29earlier was clearly
00:26:29for show.
00:26:31Order.
00:26:31The defense
00:26:32council's evidence
00:26:33stands.
00:26:35Plaintiff's council,
00:26:36if you cannot
00:26:37refute it,
00:26:38we will recess.
00:26:39It's over,
00:26:40Sterling.
00:26:40Your perfect record
00:26:42ends with me.
00:26:43From today on,
00:26:44I become the legend.
00:26:46I hereby announce
00:26:47this trial.
00:26:48Your Honor,
00:26:48wait.
00:26:49I have additional
00:26:50evidence to submit.
00:26:54Your Honor,
00:26:55I have additional
00:26:56evidence to submit.
00:26:57Please.
00:26:58Defendant,
00:26:59I have one question.
00:27:01Did you ever engage
00:27:02in sexual activity
00:27:03with my client?
00:27:05Everyone saw the photos.
00:27:07We were dating.
00:27:08It was consensual.
00:27:10I never date him,
00:27:11I swear.
00:27:14Even if these photos
00:27:16are real,
00:27:17it doesn't prove
00:27:17that you were
00:27:18in a romantic relationship
00:27:19during the assault.
00:27:21Tell me,
00:27:22when were these photos
00:27:23taken?
00:27:24The day it happened.
00:27:26Why?
00:27:27And do you remember
00:27:28what the weather
00:27:29was like that day?
00:27:30Objection!
00:27:31Irrelevant line
00:27:32of questioning.
00:27:33Move to strike.
00:27:34Sustain.
00:27:35Plaintiff counsel,
00:27:36if you don't have
00:27:37any new evidence,
00:27:39we will recess.
00:27:40Your Honor,
00:27:40the evidence
00:27:41is in these photographs.
00:27:43On the evening
00:27:44of August 2nd,
00:27:45the date of the
00:27:45supposed assault,
00:27:47New York
00:27:48was plundered
00:27:49with severe thunderstorms,
00:27:50torrential downfall,
00:27:52we had heavy rains
00:27:53for two weeks straight.
00:27:55They didn't clear up
00:27:55until August 4th,
00:27:57and yet you claim
00:27:59that these photographs
00:28:00that have sunshine
00:28:01and light
00:28:02were taken
00:28:02on August 2nd.
00:28:04Can you explain that?
00:28:06I must have
00:28:07misremembered.
00:28:08Your Honor,
00:28:09the defendant
00:28:10has deliberately
00:28:12misinterpreted
00:28:12the timeline
00:28:13of key evidence.
00:28:15I have every reason
00:28:16to believe
00:28:16that these photographs
00:28:17were taken
00:28:17after the assault
00:28:19and under coercion.
00:28:21Objection!
00:28:22Baseless speculation!
00:28:23Your Honor,
00:28:25I have even more
00:28:26evidence to submit.
00:28:30I have additional evidence
00:28:32I would like to submit.
00:28:37The evidence is verified.
00:28:39Permission to play the video.
00:28:46This footage
00:28:47is time-stamped
00:28:49August 5th.
00:28:50It is proof
00:28:51that those photographs
00:28:52were taken
00:28:52after the assault
00:28:53and under coercion.
00:28:55The evidence
00:28:56is admissible.
00:28:57The plaintiff
00:28:58has a statement
00:28:59to add.
00:29:01I...
00:29:05I don't know.
00:29:07Lucy,
00:29:07I know it's scary
00:29:08to speak up,
00:29:10but you have to.
00:29:11If you don't,
00:29:12he's going to walk free.
00:29:14Are you okay with that?
00:29:15If you speak
00:29:16the truth today,
00:29:17you'll not only
00:29:18save yourself,
00:29:19but many other girls
00:29:20he could potentially
00:29:21harm in the future.
00:29:22Okay.
00:29:24I really can do that?
00:29:26Yes.
00:29:27Yes.
00:29:29All right,
00:29:30I'll talk.
00:29:31After that night,
00:29:32I wanted to
00:29:33report him immediately,
00:29:34but he said
00:29:36he was already here,
00:29:38and if I dared
00:29:39to go to the police,
00:29:40he would post
00:29:41those photos of me
00:29:42and hurt
00:29:43my sick little sister.
00:29:45And those photographs?
00:29:49he forced me
00:29:50to take them
00:29:51after everything happened.
00:29:53Shut up, bitch.
00:29:54You say one more word
00:29:55and I'll kill
00:29:55that sick brat.
00:29:56Shut up.
00:29:59Your Honor,
00:30:00this evidence proves
00:30:02that the defendant
00:30:02committed rape,
00:30:03assault and battery,
00:30:05and criminal intimidation.
00:30:06the plaintiff moves
00:30:08to pursue
00:30:09the maximum penalty
00:30:10by law.
00:30:13Rape, intimidation,
00:30:15assault?
00:30:15That's a minimum
00:30:16of 25 years.
00:30:17Threatening him
00:30:18and then reporting him
00:30:19is disgusting.
00:30:20The plaintiff's evidence
00:30:22is clear
00:30:23and substantial.
00:30:25Defense,
00:30:26do you have
00:30:26anything further?
00:30:30I...
00:30:31Threatening!
00:30:32You guaranteed
00:30:33my son would walk!
00:30:35What is going on?
00:30:36I didn't expect
00:30:37Sterling to gather
00:30:38this much evidence
00:30:39in such a short
00:30:40amount of time.
00:30:41I've done everything
00:30:42I can.
00:30:43Figure something out.
00:30:44If I go down,
00:30:45I'm taking you with me.
00:30:47Mark,
00:30:48given the current
00:30:49charges,
00:30:50maximum is
00:30:5125 years.
00:30:52If you haven't
00:30:53committed any other crimes,
00:30:54I could try to negotiate
00:30:55for a reduced sentence.
00:30:58Other crimes?
00:31:00Your Honor,
00:31:01I have even more
00:31:03evidence to submit.
00:31:13Your Honor,
00:31:14this footage shows
00:31:15the defendant
00:31:16violently assaulting
00:31:17multiple individuals,
00:31:18including minors,
00:31:20during the course
00:31:21of this trial.
00:31:22These actions
00:31:23constitute aggravated battery,
00:31:25along with serious intent
00:31:26to do bodily harm.
00:31:27These actions,
00:31:29in combination
00:31:29with his numerous
00:31:31other offenses,
00:31:32lead the plaintiff
00:31:33to want to pursue
00:31:34life imprisonment.
00:31:42The defendant,
00:31:43Mark Moretti,
00:31:44is found guilty of rape,
00:31:46criminal intimidation,
00:31:48and aggravated battery.
00:31:50This court hereby
00:31:51sentences him
00:31:52to life.
00:31:54Mrs. Sterling!
00:31:56Mrs. Sterling!
00:31:57Thank you,
00:31:58not just for defending me
00:31:59for free,
00:32:00but also for making sure
00:32:01that monster paid for what he did.
00:32:04It was the right thing to do.
00:32:05You know you're the same age
00:32:06as my daughter.
00:32:07She's still such a child
00:32:09in my eyes,
00:32:09but Lucy,
00:32:11gosh,
00:32:12you've suffered so much.
00:32:14People call you
00:32:15the black widow
00:32:16of the legal world,
00:32:17but you don't seem like
00:32:18that called at all.
00:32:21Let them talk.
00:32:22They're always gossiping
00:32:23about me.
00:32:24But you know,
00:32:24my loyalty
00:32:25has always been
00:32:26on the side of law
00:32:27and of justice.
00:32:28And actually,
00:32:29I want to thank you
00:32:30for reminding me
00:32:31who I really am.
00:32:35That bitch!
00:32:37She destroyed my son!
00:32:39Vicky Sterling
00:32:40is going to pay for this.
00:32:42My son is going to spend
00:32:44the rest of his life
00:32:45behind bars.
00:32:47And you,
00:32:48you arrogant,
00:32:50useless,
00:32:51deadweight bitch!
00:32:53I'll have your name
00:32:55wiped off
00:32:56the legal map
00:32:57of New York!
00:32:58Mrs. Morini,
00:33:00give me one more chance.
00:33:01I can take
00:33:02Sterling down!
00:33:03If we can prove
00:33:04misconduct,
00:33:05her cases can be reviewed.
00:33:07Mark's included.
00:33:09I have a plan.
00:33:10There's a case she handled
00:33:11with a questionable outcome.
00:33:14This girl is me.
00:33:16Sterling put her father
00:33:18behind bars.
00:33:19If we can find her,
00:33:20her story can force
00:33:22full investigation.
00:33:30Mom!
00:33:32Tell me!
00:33:34Tell me what happened!
00:33:35Oh, I'm trying to breed!
00:33:36Oh!
00:33:37Mom!
00:33:38Tell me what happened
00:33:39to the Morty monster in there!
00:33:41He got a lifelong sentence.
00:33:43Paul,
00:33:44you've made Mom
00:33:44tell this story
00:33:45a hundred times!
00:33:46Because I think Mom's amazing!
00:33:48Mom,
00:33:49you're literally
00:33:50super young!
00:33:52I agree!
00:33:53All right,
00:33:54you two!
00:34:02That girl is...
00:34:05In quotes,
00:34:06you'd better plead guilty.
00:34:08Otherwise,
00:34:08your sweet little daughter
00:34:10would not be so lucky.
00:34:11Don't hurt my daughter.
00:34:12I'll plead guilty
00:34:13out of it to anything.
00:34:15That's the defendant
00:34:16for today's trial.
00:34:17Hey!
00:34:18Stop!
00:34:18Or I'm gonna call the police!
00:34:21Oh my God!
00:34:23Are you okay?
00:34:24Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:34:24I'm okay.
00:34:25Sterling,
00:34:27I hear you
00:34:28you're the best
00:34:28and you've never lost the case.
00:34:30You're gonna win
00:34:31this one too, right?
00:34:32Actually,
00:34:32the evidence favors you.
00:34:34I'm gonna lose.
00:34:35No, no, no, no.
00:34:36I'll plead guilty in court.
00:34:37You can't lose.
00:34:39Plead guilty?
00:34:39Why?
00:34:40You have a really good chance
00:34:41of being acquitted.
00:34:42Well,
00:34:43people at the bottom
00:34:44like me,
00:34:44we don't have the luxury
00:34:46of chasing justice.
00:34:47I must lose,
00:34:48otherwise they won't let him live.
00:34:50I don't understand.
00:34:52Mrs. Sterling,
00:34:53your parent
00:34:54understand me, please.
00:35:04So that's his daughter?
00:35:08Mom?
00:35:09What's wrong?
00:35:11Oh, um,
00:35:12nothing.
00:35:13Um,
00:35:16look,
00:35:17I'm no hero.
00:35:19Even I've had cases
00:35:20that made me feel
00:35:22completely powerless.
00:35:28Vicky,
00:35:29you're under investigation
00:35:30for bribery
00:35:31and obstruction
00:35:32of justice.
00:35:33You need to come with us.
00:35:34What?
00:35:35That's impossible.
00:35:37My mom would never
00:35:37do anything like that.
00:35:38Mom is a hero.
00:35:40You got the wrong person.
00:35:43Don't touch me.
00:35:46It's okay, Paul.
00:35:47It's fine.
00:35:48Call William.
00:35:49Tell him to meet me there.
00:35:50Mom!
00:35:51Mom!
00:35:52Mom!
00:35:54Mom!
00:35:54Mom!
00:35:55We're calling.
00:35:57Mom.
00:35:59We're staring at pieces together.
00:36:02Vera and Harrison
00:36:03dug up this five-year-old case
00:36:04and used it
00:36:05to blow public outrage.
00:36:06They're clearly
00:36:07trying to destroy you.
00:36:08How bad is it?
00:36:10They've charged you
00:36:11with bribery
00:36:11and perjury.
00:36:12The hearing is tomorrow,
00:36:14but...
00:36:14What is it?
00:36:16Every lawyer in New York
00:36:17willing to take your case
00:36:19has been bought off
00:36:20by Harrison.
00:36:20And the ones
00:36:21with a good conscience,
00:36:22they're terrified
00:36:23of public backlash.
00:36:25We're staring
00:36:25with the way it looks
00:36:26right now.
00:36:27Tomorrow's hearing
00:36:28may start with you
00:36:29not having a defense
00:36:30attorney at all.
00:36:34You know,
00:36:35I knew
00:36:35from the moment
00:36:36Mark Moretti
00:36:37was sentenced to life
00:36:37that Harrison
00:36:38was not gonna
00:36:39let it in there.
00:36:41If I am convicted,
00:36:42he can reopen
00:36:43his son's case.
00:36:44And that's what's
00:36:45most important to him.
00:36:46Now, what do we do now?
00:36:50William,
00:36:50you are the one
00:36:51that I trust the most.
00:36:53Please take care
00:36:54of Sarah and Paul
00:36:55for me.
00:36:56That's for tomorrow.
00:36:58I'll stand alone.
00:36:59No, no.
00:37:01Miss Sterling,
00:37:01I've followed you
00:37:02for more than 10 years.
00:37:03I'm not abandoning you here.
00:37:08I'm taking your case.
00:37:10I'll be your attorney tomorrow.
00:37:13Miss Sterling,
00:37:14he once told me
00:37:15that justice
00:37:15must never yield to evil.
00:37:18This time,
00:37:18we don't back down.
00:37:28Miss Sterling,
00:37:29you were accused of perjury.
00:37:30Was your perfect win record
00:37:31as a shield for the powerful?
00:37:32Do you feel any remorse
00:37:33for ruining families
00:37:34to protect the wealthy elite?
00:37:35Look at her,
00:37:36the hypocrite
00:37:37who killed Nina's father.
00:37:38Vampire,
00:37:39feeding off regular
00:37:40people's misery.
00:37:41Not question,
00:37:41not question.
00:37:44It seems the undefeated myth
00:37:46is finally crumbling.
00:37:48Betraying me
00:37:48always comes with consequences.
00:37:50Don't worry,
00:37:51Mr. Moretti.
00:37:52Once this is all over,
00:37:54I'll file
00:37:54to reopen Mark's case.
00:37:56Looking forward to it.
00:38:01Court's about to start.
00:38:03Why isn't William here yet?
00:38:05What if something happened to him?
00:38:07In the matter of Vicky,
00:38:08charged with obstruction of justice,
00:38:10this court is now in session.
00:38:11Bring the defendant.
00:38:16Mom!
00:38:17That's her!
00:38:18My husband was beaten half to death
00:38:20and she defended that scum!
00:38:21Her heart is pitch black!
00:38:23Ten years in the courtroom.
00:38:24God knows how many lives
00:38:25and innocent families
00:38:26she destroyed.
00:38:27She deserves the worst.
00:38:28The mighty black widow
00:38:29of the legal world.
00:38:30Look at you now.
00:38:32Enjoy it, Vicky.
00:38:34This is the day you fall.
00:38:35Mom,
00:38:36William still isn't here yet.
00:38:38What do we do?
00:38:39Don't worry,
00:38:40he'll be here.
00:38:41Plaintiff of counsel,
00:38:43please proceed.
00:38:49That's Peter Brown,
00:38:50the hottest rising star in New York.
00:38:52They say he only fights
00:38:54and defends the powerless,
00:38:55a real hero.
00:38:56And rumors he trained
00:38:57under Edward Wilson himself.
00:38:59The legend with him.
00:39:00Sterling is finished.
00:39:01Order.
00:39:03Now,
00:39:03defense counsel,
00:39:04please enter.
00:39:09Mom,
00:39:09what do we do?
00:39:10What if William isn't coming?
00:39:18Mom,
00:39:19what do we do?
00:39:19What if William isn't coming?
00:39:21When William gives his word,
00:39:23he always keeps it.
00:39:24He must be delayed.
00:39:25Give it up,
00:39:26Sterling.
00:39:27You're a disgrace,
00:39:28a parasite in this industry.
00:39:30Anyone who defends you,
00:39:32is committing career suicide.
00:39:33You're lying.
00:39:35Don't worry,
00:39:35everyone.
00:39:36Attorney Brown will make sure
00:39:37justice is served today
00:39:39and Sterling will face
00:39:41what she deserves.
00:39:42Order.
00:39:43Defense counsel does not appear.
00:39:44The healing proceeds
00:39:45without them.
00:39:47Why is this happening?
00:39:48We've treated William
00:39:49like family for years.
00:39:51Why would he abandon us?
00:39:52Sarah,
00:39:53I've made so many mistakes.
00:39:55Maybe all of this is happening
00:39:56because I deserve it.
00:39:57No,
00:39:58it's not.
00:39:59Ten,
00:40:01nine,
00:40:02eight,
00:40:03seven,
00:40:05six,
00:40:06five,
00:40:07four,
00:40:09three,
00:40:10two,
00:40:12one.
00:40:14Defense counsel has failed.
00:40:16Defense counsel Willems Lee.
00:40:18Requesting by entry.
00:40:19Defense counsel Annie Hofstra.
00:40:21Defense counsel Bill Kreis.
00:40:23Defense counsel Devin Paul Rees.
00:40:25Defense counsel Eliana Rees.
00:40:27Defense counsel Edward Wilson.
00:40:29Your Honor,
00:40:30on behalf of all these fine lawyers here with me,
00:40:34representing only the best law firms of all of New York,
00:40:38we collectively petition,
00:40:41defend Miss Vicki Sterling.
00:40:45Professor Wilson.
00:40:48He's been retired for years.
00:40:50Why would he come out of retirement for Sterling?
00:40:55Mr. Moretti said he bought every lawyer in New York.
00:40:58How is this possible?
00:41:01Oh my God,
00:41:02that's Edward Wilson,
00:41:03the so-called godfather of the legal world.
00:41:05He's been retired for years.
00:41:07Why would he?
00:41:08And Annie Hawthorne.
00:41:09She never touches corporate litigation.
00:41:11She's a public interest legend.
00:41:12Why would she defend, uh,
00:41:15Sterling?
00:41:15Miss Sterling,
00:41:16looks like I've made it just in time.
00:41:18William,
00:41:18did you bring all of these lawyers here?
00:41:21No.
00:41:21These are the true legal voices of New York.
00:41:24You don't just bring them.
00:41:25They came for justice.
00:41:27They came for you.
00:41:28Thank you all so much
00:41:29for being so willing to stand behind me.
00:41:31I really appreciate it.
00:41:33I am gonna have to ask you to withdraw, though.
00:41:38No, why would you say that?
00:41:39Miss Sterling,
00:41:40I guess you're worried
00:41:41we'll be dragged down
00:41:42by the Moretti family's influence,
00:41:44aren't you?
00:41:44Yes.
00:41:45This case is backed by a very evil
00:41:48and powerful entity,
00:41:49and they erase anyone that stands in their way.
00:41:52I can't ask any of you
00:41:53to get caught up in their fury
00:41:55and their retaliation.
00:41:55I need you to leave.
00:41:58I am not leaving.
00:41:59I want to see by my own eyes
00:42:02whether power and money
00:42:03get to decide what's right
00:42:05and what's wrong.
00:42:06Whether a lawyer
00:42:07who stands for justice
00:42:08can be crushed like a bug.
00:42:12That's right.
00:42:12We're not leaving.
00:42:13¡No, no, no!
00:42:43En mi view, es el finestre lawyer en todo de Nueva York.
00:42:46Professor, no entiendo lo que estás hablando.
00:42:50¿Recuerdas el primer caso que te he enseñado?
00:42:52El Charles solicit evidence case, como... 20 años atrás?
00:42:57Oh, I know that one.
00:42:58Officer Charles, he was notorious for violent arrest.
00:43:01I heard he even set up a poor kid named Lauren.
00:43:04Right, I heard the Supreme Court created a new rule because of that case.
00:43:08And the lawyer who defended that kid was just some nobody back then.
00:43:12Lauren had zero criminal intent.
00:43:15He was framed.
00:43:17Everyone thought he was doomed.
00:43:18But that rookie lawyer stood alone against the entire system and won an acquittal.
00:43:22And that rookie lawyer was Vicky Sterling.
00:43:28What?
00:43:31What?
00:43:32So you're saying the woman everyone's calling a monster was that rookie lawyer?
00:43:37Impossible.
00:43:38Vicky Sterling only entered the field 10 years ago.
00:43:41How could she work a case from 20 years ago?
00:43:44That makes no sense.
00:43:47On the contrary.
00:43:48Absolutely.
00:43:49That is why she is so extraordinary.
00:43:54The people know the case.
00:43:56But they do not know that the dirty cop was backed by one of the most powerful real estate syndicates
00:44:05in New York.
00:44:06They threatened her life.
00:44:09But she didn't back down.
00:44:11Well, she won the case.
00:44:12And then she had to disappear for 10 years.
00:44:16Mom moved us from place to place for years.
00:44:20So that's why.
00:44:23Sarah.
00:44:24You and Paul never had a normal or stable childhood.
00:44:28That was all my fault.
00:44:29And in your father.
00:44:30No, it's not.
00:44:32You told us something had to be done by someone.
00:44:36Paul and I think you're a superhero.
00:44:39Always be proud of you.
00:44:42My God.
00:44:43She was through life in her family's safety for a stranger.
00:44:46If this is true, then Mrs. Sterling is really the best lawyer in New York.
00:44:51Enough.
00:44:53One good act doesn't wipe out what she's done.
00:44:56I've worked on a Vicky Sterling for five years.
00:44:59She's protected the rich and pocketed massive amount of fees.
00:45:03She's let criminals walk free.
00:45:06She's destroyed families' lives.
00:45:10She's destroyed families' lives.
00:45:13You're lying.
00:45:14My mom would never do anything like that.
00:45:16Your Honor.
00:45:17As Vicky Sterling's closest formal student, I've seen every case she has handled.
00:45:22So I testify that she repeatedly abused her power.
00:45:26She twisted the law.
00:45:28And she left a disaster.
00:45:30She deserves to be punished.
00:45:32That's a lie, Your Honor.
00:45:33I've worked closely with Ms. Sterling for more than 10 years.
00:45:36I can personally testify that none of that is true.
00:45:39She has always respected the law and upheld due process.
00:45:43Exactly.
00:45:43Ms. Sterling risked your own life and your family's safety to defend the stranger.
00:45:47Why would someone like this suddenly abandon her safety?
00:45:50So what?
00:45:51She did something good 20 years ago.
00:45:54That doesn't mean she's good now.
00:45:56She cannot erase the crime she's committed.
00:45:59That's right.
00:46:00Sterling destroyed my family.
00:46:02My husband died because of her.
00:46:04Maybe she became greedy after fighting the powerful all those years ago.
00:46:08People like her are worse than criminals.
00:46:11Silence.
00:46:13Everyone sits down.
00:46:16Your Honor, everything that defense presented today is irrelevant.
00:46:21Whatever she did 20 years ago has nothing to do with the crime she committed today.
00:46:26If 20 years of integrity are not enough to prove her character, then what about the last 10?
00:46:33What are you implying?
00:46:34I'm sure you've all heard of the Dawn Foundation, New York's biggest charity organization.
00:46:41The anonymous founder, Ms. Vicky Sterling.
00:46:51The Dawn Foundation's reach covers the entire East Coast.
00:46:55It's a thousands of families.
00:46:56What happened back then changed her, yes.
00:47:00But it didn't break her.
00:47:01She found other ways to fight for justice.
00:47:05Quietly.
00:47:06From the shadows.
00:47:07These are Ms. Sterling's donation records.
00:47:10Yet she charged high legal fees, but she donated over 90% of her income to Dawn.
00:47:15It across 10 years has a total of $800 million.
00:47:20Ms. Sterling understood that fighting absolute power alone would only risk more innocent lives.
00:47:30The Dawn Foundation.
00:47:32I remember a small town near New York that was wiped out by floods.
00:47:36The Dawn founded other settlements.
00:47:37Three years ago, when my husband passed, I couldn't afford to raise my kids.
00:47:42I was going to give them up.
00:47:43Dawn stepped in and covered their schooling.
00:47:46So Sterling's high fees were just a way to help more people?
00:47:50Did we blame her wrong?
00:47:51Your Honor, this record proves Vicky Sterling's integrity beyond question.
00:47:55A woman who donates nearly everything she earns is not driven by greed,
00:48:00and she would never betray her principles for profit.
00:48:04I thought Sterling was just another greedy lawyer.
00:48:07But she had donated everything.
00:48:09She had no reason to hurt anyone.
00:48:11Hard to believe that black widow of the legal world is actually that good.
00:48:16Mom, you did all of this in secret.
00:48:19We believe you.
00:48:20Everyone here believes you're innocent.
00:48:22They'll clear your name.
00:48:25But, Sarah, there are things that I've done that are truly wrong.
00:48:29So what if she founded a charity?
00:48:32Your Honor, objection.
00:48:34These so-called good deeds doesn't prove her innocence.
00:48:39Objection sustained.
00:48:40Defense counsel.
00:48:42You know it.
00:48:43You must present direct evidence.
00:48:50Is there anything?
00:48:58If she were innocent, they wouldn't have showed up empty-handed.
00:49:02Vicky Sterling is exactly what I said she is.
00:49:06A corrupt, ruthless parasite.
00:49:09Enough.
00:49:10You keep on choosing the best illness guilty.
00:49:12Where's your evidence?
00:49:13Oh, I have evidence.
00:49:15Your Honor, the prosecution formally requests
00:49:18to call our most important witnesses.
00:49:22Please.
00:49:27Murderer!
00:49:28She's the one who killed my father!
00:49:33Order.
00:49:34Plaintiff counsel, please identify your witness.
00:49:37Your Honor, this is our key witness.
00:49:40Nina, daughter of the defendant in the Hank murder case.
00:49:44The Hank case?
00:49:45I remember that.
00:49:47It was the biggest wrongful conviction scandal five years ago.
00:49:50All the evidence favored Hank.
00:49:51He was this close to acquittal.
00:49:53Yeah, but out of nowhere during the final hearing, he confessed.
00:49:56Everyone said he must have been threatened by someone powerful behind the scenes.
00:50:00Your Honor, the attorney who represented the plaintiff against Hank was Vicky Sterling.
00:50:07We now accuse her of abusing the justice system and forcing an innocent man into a wrongful
00:50:13verdict.
00:50:14Witness, you can go with your testimony.
00:50:17Five years ago, I was eight, right before hearing.
00:50:21Dad promised me that he didn't kill anyone, that he did win.
00:50:24But during recess, I saw him kneeling on the ground, begging that monster.
00:50:30Everyone said he would win.
00:50:31But after meeting her, he confessed to murder.
00:50:35He killed my father.
00:50:36He made me an orphan.
00:50:38Through our investigation, we discovered Mr. Sterling's client in that case was begged
00:50:44by a powerful real estate taker.
00:50:46We have every reason to believe.
00:50:48She used intimidation and violence to force Hank into a false confession,
00:50:53just to protect the rich.
00:50:55Vicky Sterling, you destroyed an innocent life.
00:50:58You left a little girl without a father.
00:51:00Aren't you afraid you're burning hell for what you've done?
00:51:06My God, she was only eight.
00:51:09Her father gone because of a wrongful conviction.
00:51:11It's so heartbreaking.
00:51:12I knew it.
00:51:13This woman was never a good person.
00:51:15She got my husband killed.
00:51:17Now we find out she got the girl's father killed, too.
00:51:21And to think I almost believed her earlier.
00:51:23She's nothing but a butcher hiding behind a charity mask.
00:51:27No, my mom wouldn't do that.
00:51:30Mom, tell them.
00:51:31Tell them the truth.
00:51:33Tell them you didn't do this.
00:51:34No, Sarah.
00:51:35It was my fault.
00:51:36What happened back then happened because of me.
00:51:43She admitted it.
00:51:44So it was true.
00:51:47Dad, after all these years, the monster finally been confessed.
00:51:52Your Honor, the defendant Vicky Sterling just admitted guilt in open court.
00:51:57Objection.
00:51:58Miss Dillon was the only expression of remorse and not admitting any actual crimes.
00:52:01You must stop making up words and fabricate confession.
00:52:06Oh, please, William.
00:52:07You're still defending her?
00:52:08Even she admits it.
00:52:10Your Honor, I request an immediate recess.
00:52:13Your Honor, I can prove that my client, Vicky Sterling, has not committed any crime whatsoever.
00:52:21Her belief that she is guilty is based on her extraordinary sense of responsibility.
00:52:30Defense counsel, you claim your client is innocent, but I will repeat it again.
00:52:36Where is the evidence?
00:52:37I do have evidence, but before that, I would ask Your Honor permission to cross-reference the witness.
00:52:45Witness, are you able to continue answering questions?
00:52:49You can proceed.
00:52:51Please describe again what you really saw during recess those five years ago.
00:52:55I saw my father kneeling on the ground, begging this monster.
00:53:00He was hurt, and it looks like he's begging her.
00:53:04Isn't it obvious?
00:53:06Sterling must have used violence.
00:53:08She threatened Hank into confessing.
00:53:11Just to clarify, you did not really hear their conversation,
00:53:15and you did not really see Vicky Sterling strike your father.
00:53:23Objection, Your Honor.
00:53:25The defense is leading the witness.
00:53:27I demand that the questioning stops immediately.
00:53:30Objection sustained.
00:53:32Defense counsel, stop this line of questioning.
00:53:35The court needs direct evidence.
00:53:37I...
00:53:38If you had evidence, you would have presented it already.
00:53:41It's been five years.
00:53:42There's no way you found anything.
00:53:44You're right about one point.
00:53:46Time erodes evidence.
00:53:48Then stop wasting the court's time.
00:53:51Again, Your Honor, I request an immediate recess.
00:53:54Your Honor, wait.
00:53:56I do have evidence.
00:54:00Here it is.
00:54:02This contains a video footage of what happened that day,
00:54:07actually five years ago.
00:54:09Impossible.
00:54:10After all these years, there was never any video evidence.
00:54:13This has to be fake.
00:54:15It really was difficult to recover anything from that day.
00:54:19But eventually, we found a car parked nearby.
00:54:22So this footage is from its dash cam.
00:54:28The evidence is verified.
00:54:30Play the video.
00:54:35It's enough.
00:54:36In court, you would better leave court.
00:54:38Otherwise, your sweet little daughter will not be sober.
00:54:43Okay, don't hurt her.
00:54:44I'll plead guilty.
00:54:45I'll admit to anything.
00:54:46Stop or I'll call the police.
00:54:49God, are you okay?
00:54:51Yeah, yeah.
00:54:51Actually, the evidence favors you.
00:54:53I'm going to lose today.
00:54:54Now, all the plaintiffs sound guilty in court.
00:54:57You must win.
00:55:01Dad!
00:55:02So he confessed to protect me?
00:55:04How?
00:55:04How could this be?
00:55:06What really happened back then?
00:55:07Tell me the truth.
00:55:09Sorry.
00:55:16Your father was innocent.
00:55:19And his case was clear cut.
00:55:21The victim died from a fall due to violations at that construction site.
00:55:25But the plaintiff, in an attempt to avoid liability, they framed your father.
00:55:31Because he was the only other worker there at the time of the accident.
00:55:34I was prepared to lose the trial that day.
00:55:39But he did not want to risk your safety, so he chose to sacrifice himself.
00:55:44Oh, what a convenient story.
00:55:47If that's true, then why didn't you say anything?
00:55:50You knew he was innocent, and yet you let him get life in prison.
00:55:55I did try to stop him.
00:55:58But he did not want to risk your safety, not for a single moment.
00:56:02That's why he chose to sacrifice his own freedom.
00:56:05And I also learned 20 years ago, the challenging absolute power head-on can only lead to more destruction.
00:56:14I had no choice.
00:56:15So that's the truth?
00:56:17Dad went to the construction site because he wanted extra money to buy me birthday presents.
00:56:23It's all my fault.
00:56:24I'm the one who killed my dad.
00:56:27Your Honor, the evidence clearly shows the client has committed a desperate attempt to protect his daughter.
00:56:36From beginning to the end, Vicky Sterling committed no crime at all.
00:56:40The defense moves to dismiss all the plaintiff's accusations in its entirety.
00:56:50This truth, I can't believe it.
00:56:52Sterling wasn't the villain.
00:56:54It was the power crushing people at the bottom.
00:56:56And she's been fighting for them this whole time.
00:56:58She founded a charity just to help people who needed it most.
00:57:01We really blamed her for nothing.
00:57:03Enough!
00:57:04One win doesn't erase 10 years of doubt.
00:57:07So are you saying that every single case that she's handled, she was innocent?
00:57:11I can prove that my client is innocent.
00:57:14I have more evidence.
00:57:16And so do I.
00:57:17Your Honor, with all the evidence we have here, Vicky Sterling has committed no crime.
00:57:22She's always upheld the law, respected due process, and devoted her entire life to justice.
00:57:28She is the best attorney in New York.
00:57:33All these years, I never knew someone was fighting for justice in the shadows.
00:57:39Miss Sterling, you're the kind of lawyer we all aspire to be.
00:57:44Oh no, this can't be happening.
00:57:47Mr. Reddy will destroy me.
00:57:49Your Honor, I have one last submission to make.
00:57:52I am formally accusing plaintiff Vera Cross to be held fully accountable of stealing our law from steel and fabricating
00:58:00evidence.
00:58:00This is a severe violation of the state law and legal ethics.
00:58:04Therefore, I request Vera Cross to be held fully accountable.
00:58:09Fully accountable!
00:58:10Fully accountable!
00:58:11Fully accountable!
00:58:13Fully accountable!
00:58:14Oh, God, I'm finished.
00:58:17Shit.
00:58:18Shit.
00:58:21The court will now announce the verdict.
00:58:25Please, all rise.
00:58:31The defendant, Vicky Sterling, is found not guilty, and she is released immediately.
00:58:41As for the plaintiff, Vera Cross, for having committed malicious, false accusations and fabricated evidence,
00:58:51the court hereby revokes her license for practicing law and sentences her to 10 years in prison.
00:58:59No!
00:59:08Miss Wilson, you've been retired for years.
00:59:10What made you return for Miss Sterling?
00:59:12Did you already know she was innocent?
00:59:14Well, actually, I had planned to request for leniency for something that happened 20 years ago.
00:59:21But, during my investigations, I found out that she had never, ever committed any wrongdoings.
00:59:27Actually, she has served this city in ways that no one can imagine.
00:59:32A lawyer like her should never be crushed by such underhanded schemes.
00:59:39We stood with her to show one truth.
00:59:42Justice may reflect, but it shall never be silenced by the powerful.
00:59:46Thank you.
00:59:46Thank you so much.
00:59:48Thank all of you for standing by me.
00:59:49Miss Sterling, after everything that happened, will you continue speaking up for ordinary people?
00:59:54The truth should never be hidden in the shadows.
00:59:56And from this day forward, I will only fight for justice.
01:00:03Jesus Christ!
01:00:05What a goddamn idiot!
01:00:07She turns down millions just so she can play the hero for people that aren't worth dog shit!
01:00:14Has Sterling finally lost her fucking mind?
01:00:17Sir, please calm down.
01:00:19Margaret's been sentenced to life.
01:00:20And every lawyer that had worked with you, used to work with us, has been taken down one by one.
01:00:25What's her next move?
01:00:27Every eye in the city is watching us right now.
01:00:30One wrong move.
01:00:31Just one.
01:00:32And we're done!
01:00:34We wait.
01:00:36Let the noise die down.
01:00:38And then we pull him out.
01:00:40Clean up everything.
01:00:41We can't afford to have Sterling pulling on any loose strands.
01:00:47Yes, sir.
01:00:48Happy birthday, Mom!
01:00:51Thank you, my loves.
01:00:54Mom, congratulations on being free again.
01:00:56And fighting for the justice the way you used to.
01:00:59Oh, thank you.
01:01:00Thank you, children.
01:01:02But, Mom, after everything that's happened, you've really pissed the Morettis off.
01:01:08They won't just let this go, will they?
01:01:11Well, I, uh...
01:01:14Who is it?
01:01:15Miss Sterling, after everything that happened, will you continue speaking up for ordinary people?
01:01:19Hayden Farms is one of the biggest Moretti family properties.
01:01:22Are they here to cause trouble?
01:01:33If you're here to cause trouble...
01:01:38Guys, it really is Miss Sterling.
01:01:40Please, go.
01:01:42Please, Miss Sterling, help us.
01:01:44Please, please, please help us.
01:01:46Wait, everyone, please, get up.
01:01:48Please, please.
01:01:50If you truly need help, my mom will do everything she can.
01:01:54I'm sorry, I'm a little confused.
01:01:56Do you want me to represent you?
01:01:57Who are you trying to sue?
01:01:59Harrison Moretti, the real estate king of the East Coast.
01:02:03What?
01:02:04His son was just sentenced to life.
01:02:07You mean that Harrison himself is involved?
01:02:10What happened?
01:02:11Do you know Hayden's estate?
01:02:13Of course, it's the Moretti family's biggest property.
01:02:17I mean, rumor has it that Harrison himself built his entire empire off that land 20 years ago.
01:02:23That land was ours.
01:02:24It was our home for generations.
01:02:27Moretti didn't just steal the land.
01:02:29He killed dozens of farmers.
01:02:32Murder?
01:02:34How dare he?
01:02:36Harrison is one of the most powerful men on the East Coast.
01:02:39I had no idea he was capable of such monstrous acts.
01:02:43Because power can hide everything.
01:02:45Those men who died, they were our fathers.
01:02:48The strongest farmers in the community disappeared overnight.
01:02:52And only women and children were left behind.
01:02:55They claimed we were hired workers on the estate.
01:02:59But we were just prisoners.
01:03:01He kept us there to keep us silent.
01:03:03We escaped only recently.
01:03:04Please, Miss Sterling, help us.
01:03:08Please, please.
01:03:08Please help us.
01:03:09Please, please help us.
01:03:10Of course, of course I will take your case.
01:03:13I will get justice for all of you.
01:03:15Thanks.
01:03:16Thank you.
01:03:17Thank you, Miss Sterling.
01:03:23Sir, this is Hayden Estates' revenue report from the last several years.
01:03:27Total profits, $2 billion.
01:03:31Of course.
01:03:32I knew this project was a gold mine.
01:03:37And, uh, those meddlesome farmers have been taken care of?
01:03:41Rest assured, sir.
01:03:42They're being watched closely.
01:03:44And no one will ever know what really happened 20 years ago.
01:03:48Boss, something is wrong.
01:03:51What?
01:03:52Someone started asking questions about Hayden Estate.
01:03:55Who the hell thinks they can meddle around in my business?
01:04:00It is Vicki Sterling.
01:04:08Miss Sterling, you're incredible.
01:04:09Within a week, you've uncovered everything that's been buried for 20 years.
01:04:13Well, a lawyer's duty is to uncover the truth.
01:04:15Especially when that truth protects the innocent.
01:04:18I just never imagined Harrison's crimes ran this deep.
01:04:22Ma'am, with all the evidence we've gathered so far,
01:04:25tomorrow's hearing, he's not walking away from this.
01:04:29This is Sterling.
01:04:31Miss Sterling, it's been a while.
01:04:35Would you like to come by the office?
01:04:37The hearing is tomorrow.
01:04:39Plaintiff counsel should avoid talking to the defendant.
01:04:42Goodbye.
01:04:43Wait.
01:04:44That special medication you requested for your son has come in.
01:04:49You wouldn't want him to go without it now, would you?
01:04:55Mr. Harrison, Miss Sterling is here.
01:04:59It seems Miss Sterling is not only a remarkable attorney,
01:05:04but also a devoted mother.
01:05:06Please, sit.
01:05:07If this is about the case, save it.
01:05:10There's nothing to discuss.
01:05:11You clearly don't understand the situation.
01:05:14You think you can walk into my office alone and talk to me like that?
01:05:21What do you want, Harrison?
01:05:24You know what happens to people who cross the Moretti family?
01:05:28You drop the case, or you won't walk out that door.
01:05:35You think I came unprepared?
01:05:37If I don't check in with my firm within two hours,
01:05:40my assistant will call the police and leak everything you're saying right now.
01:05:45You don't want additional charges before tomorrow's hearing, do you?
01:05:54Impressive.
01:05:55The reputation of Black Widow is clearly well-deserved.
01:06:00I tell you what.
01:06:01You drop the farmer's case,
01:06:03and I'll put something nice on the table.
01:06:0830 million?
01:06:0930% of the Moretti family business.
01:06:13We're talking billions, sweetheart.
01:06:17Wow.
01:06:18That's...
01:06:18That's such a generous offer.
01:06:28But I'm not interested.
01:06:30Wait!
01:06:32What about your son's medication?
01:06:34That could be the only chance he ever has of walking again.
01:06:38I don't make deals with the devil.
01:06:40And for the record,
01:06:41this entire conversation has been recorded,
01:06:44and I'm submitting it into evidence tomorrow.
01:06:47I'll see you in court.
01:06:57I can't believe it.
01:06:59After 20 years,
01:07:00the case is finally going to court.
01:07:02Mrs. Sterling,
01:07:03it's all thanks to you.
01:07:05We tried so many lawyers.
01:07:06Everyone was terrified of the Moretti family.
01:07:09But you, Mrs. Sterling,
01:07:10you are the embodiment of justice.
01:07:12This is what I do.
01:07:13Don't worry.
01:07:14With the evidence we have so far,
01:07:15and Mrs. Sterling's expertise,
01:07:17we will bring the devil Harrison to justice.
01:07:20It's about time.
01:07:21Let's get ready.
01:07:25Mom!
01:07:26Mom!
01:07:27Sarah, Paul,
01:07:28what's happening?
01:07:30Very clever of you to post guards around your house,
01:07:33Mrs. Sterling, but...
01:07:34Never underestimate a Moretti.
01:07:36What do you want?
01:07:37Simple.
01:07:38You drop the case,
01:07:40or I can't guarantee what happens to your two brats.
01:07:42Your son's legs don't work,
01:07:44and pretty soon he's going to have a hard time breathing.
01:07:47Maybe both of them.
01:07:49Bastard!
01:07:50At this point,
01:07:51there's nothing I won't do.
01:07:53Choose, Sterling.
01:07:54The farmers,
01:07:56or your children.
01:08:02Harrison Moretti,
01:08:03you cold-blooded tyrant.
01:08:04You stole our land for 20 years.
01:08:06You killed our people.
01:08:08Today, the court will finally condemn you.
01:08:10Accusations without evidence
01:08:12is slander.
01:08:14The only ones who should be on trial here
01:08:16are these lying farmers.
01:08:19Still acting tough?
01:08:20Don't forget,
01:08:21Sterling represents us.
01:08:22That's right.
01:08:23You locked us up for years,
01:08:24and you bribed every lawyer in the state
01:08:27to shut us out.
01:08:28But Miss Sterling,
01:08:30she took our case,
01:08:31and your time is up.
01:08:32Sterling,
01:08:33she spent her entire career
01:08:35defending the rich.
01:08:37Do you think you can actually afford her?
01:08:40You're lying.
01:08:41Miss Sterling said she'd take our case for free,
01:08:43and she promised we'd win.
01:08:45Huh.
01:08:46Well,
01:08:47check the tie.
01:08:49Where is Miss Sterling?
01:08:51Court is starting now.
01:08:54She's not here.
01:08:55She doesn't give a damn about you.
01:08:57No, that's impossible.
01:08:59Brother,
01:09:00it's less than a minute.
01:09:01Did she really abandon us?
01:09:05There.
01:09:06Miss Sterling,
01:09:07she's here.
01:09:15You actually made it.
01:09:17Don't forget,
01:09:18I've still got your two little brats in my hands.
01:09:22You don't actually want me to.
01:09:24You know,
01:09:25it occurred to me that if I give up now,
01:09:26more people are going to suffer
01:09:28because of you.
01:09:29The law doesn't bow down to criminals like you,
01:09:32Moretti.
01:09:33Get ready for prison.
01:09:39Two parties are present.
01:09:41The court is now in session.
01:09:43What do we do now?
01:09:45Sterling actually showed up.
01:09:46I'm finished.
01:09:47Relax, Mr. Moretti.
01:09:48Whatever happened 20 years ago
01:09:50is very deep.
01:09:51But the farmers...
01:09:52Your words mean nothing.
01:09:54Without proof.
01:09:55No evidence,
01:09:56no conviction.
01:09:58Blaintiff's counsel,
01:09:59please present your case.
01:10:01Your Honor,
01:10:03my client and their families
01:10:04lived on Hayden Estate for generations.
01:10:0720 years ago,
01:10:08the Moretti family
01:10:09tried to take that land by force.
01:10:12It was a brutal act of plunder,
01:10:14and we are seeking full legal accountability.
01:10:22Just as I said,
01:10:23they have no real evidence.
01:10:24All they can allege
01:10:25is forced land seizure.
01:10:26No, no, no, no, no, cut it.
01:10:28Hayden Estate is my biggest asset.
01:10:30I cannot afford to lose it.
01:10:32Trust me on this one.
01:10:35Your Honor,
01:10:36opposing counsel claims
01:10:37my client
01:10:38took their land by force.
01:10:39But I can prove
01:10:41that
01:10:41Hayden Estate
01:10:42was willingly
01:10:44gifted
01:10:44to the Moretti family.
01:10:46Please look closely.
01:10:47Hayden Estate
01:10:48was voluntarily
01:10:49signed over
01:10:50by these farmers themselves.
01:10:52Lies.
01:10:53My family lived there
01:10:54for generations.
01:10:55Why would we just
01:10:56give it away?
01:10:57Exactly.
01:10:58Giving up ancestral land
01:10:59for free
01:11:00defies common sense.
01:11:02And conveniently,
01:11:03everyone who signed
01:11:04that supposed contract
01:11:06has been missing
01:11:07for 20 years.
01:11:08Your Honor,
01:11:10I have reason to believe
01:11:11that this supposed agreement
01:11:13was obtained
01:11:14through coercion
01:11:15and worse.
01:11:17Nonsense!
01:11:18Developing Hayden Estate
01:11:20was an act of charity.
01:11:22I gave those people jobs.
01:11:24I fed their families.
01:11:26The missing farmers?
01:11:28I don't know anything
01:11:29about that.
01:11:30Your Honor,
01:11:31opposing counsel
01:11:32has yet to provide
01:11:33any concrete evidence.
01:11:35I ask the court
01:11:36to stop these
01:11:37baseless speculations.
01:11:38That's a fair objection.
01:11:40Plaintiff's counsel,
01:11:41I heard many
01:11:41of your arguments.
01:11:43But the court
01:11:44needs direct evidence.
01:11:49Your Honor,
01:11:51since the opposing counsel
01:11:52can present
01:11:52a single piece of evidence,
01:11:54may I conclude
01:11:55that she
01:11:56and these farmers
01:11:57are deliberately
01:11:58defaming
01:11:59my client.
01:12:00I ask that you
01:12:01sanction them
01:12:03accordingly.
01:12:04What do we do?
01:12:05It's been 20 years.
01:12:06We've never found
01:12:06any solid evidence.
01:12:08and Mrs. Sterling
01:12:09only took this case
01:12:10three days ago.
01:12:11Does this mean
01:12:12we're going to lose?
01:12:14Your Honor,
01:12:15I have additional evidence
01:12:16I would like to submit.
01:12:18The court calls
01:12:19upon the medical examiner
01:12:20to showcase her findings
01:12:22as pertaining
01:12:22to this case.
01:12:24Medical examiner,
01:12:26don't tell me
01:12:26they found her.
01:12:28Your Honor,
01:12:29we discovered
01:12:30several dozen bodies
01:12:31in the lake waters
01:12:32surrounding Hayden Estate.
01:12:34After examination,
01:12:34we identified them
01:12:36as the farmers
01:12:37who disappeared
01:12:3720 years ago.
01:12:40It's my dad's.
01:12:41I've searched
01:12:42for 20 years
01:12:43and he was there
01:12:44the whole time.
01:12:46Harrison,
01:12:47you monster.
01:12:47You owe them
01:12:48their lives.
01:12:50Even if these bodies
01:12:51belong to the
01:12:52missing farmers,
01:12:53my client has nothing
01:12:54to do with their deaths.
01:12:55For all you know,
01:12:56they could have drowned.
01:12:57Ridiculous.
01:12:58We lived our whole lives
01:12:59on that land.
01:13:00We know every ditch,
01:13:02every drop of water.
01:13:03Dozens of men
01:13:04do not drown
01:13:05by accident
01:13:06in their own backyards.
01:13:09Your Honor,
01:13:09I have additional evidence
01:13:11I would like to submit
01:13:11to this court.
01:13:1220 years ago,
01:13:14Harrison Moretti
01:13:14saw the value
01:13:15in Hayden Estate
01:13:16and he tried to buy it
01:13:17off the farmers
01:13:18and their families.
01:13:19After they refused,
01:13:20he resorted
01:13:21to violence.
01:13:2420 years ago,
01:13:25Harrison Moretti
01:13:26saw the value
01:13:26in Hayden Estate
01:13:27and he tried to buy it
01:13:28off the farmers
01:13:29and their families.
01:13:30After they refused,
01:13:31he resorted
01:13:32to violence.
01:13:33Lies!
01:13:35I never lived.
01:13:36Before the farmers
01:13:37disappeared,
01:13:39Harrison called them
01:13:40into a secret meeting.
01:13:41Luckily,
01:13:41one of them
01:13:42had this recorder
01:13:43in his pocket
01:13:44and it captured
01:13:45everything.
01:13:46I would like
01:13:47to submit this evidence
01:13:48to the court.
01:13:59The recording
01:14:00is authenticated.
01:14:02Permission granted.
01:14:08Mr. Moretti,
01:14:09please let us go.
01:14:10Our wives and children
01:14:12are waiting at home.
01:14:13You want to leave?
01:14:14Fine.
01:14:15Sign the deed first.
01:14:16Transfer Hayden Estate
01:14:17to me.
01:14:18No.
01:14:19Hayden Estate
01:14:20is our home.
01:14:20We won't give it away.
01:14:23Then don't blame me.
01:14:25Do it.
01:14:27Press the Psalms
01:14:29onto the deeds
01:14:29and dump the bodies
01:14:30into the lake backyard.
01:14:32You beast.
01:14:33It really was you.
01:14:34You killed them.
01:14:35You murdered all of them.
01:14:37No.
01:14:37No, no, no.
01:14:38This is fake.
01:14:39This is all fake.
01:14:43No.
01:14:44No, no, no.
01:14:45This is fake.
01:14:46This is all fake.
01:14:49Your Honor,
01:14:51this audio
01:14:52not only proves
01:14:53that he seized
01:14:53their land illegally,
01:14:55but he also committed
01:14:56mass murder.
01:14:58His crimes are heinous
01:14:59and we ask you today
01:15:01to impose the maximum sentence
01:15:03as permitted by law.
01:15:07The prosecution's evidence
01:15:09is valid and conclusive.
01:15:11The defendant,
01:15:12Harrison Moretti,
01:15:14is found guilty
01:15:15of all charges.
01:15:17No.
01:15:18Woo.
01:15:19No.
01:15:20It isn't real.
01:15:22The court hereby
01:15:24condemns him
01:15:26to a life sentence
01:15:27with no parole.
01:15:30It isn't real.
01:15:31It isn't real.
01:15:33It isn't real.
01:15:36It isn't real.
01:15:39Hey, Sterling.
01:15:41We found your children.
01:15:42They're at Hayden Estate.
01:15:44Take me there now.
01:15:46Hayden Estate's massive.
01:15:48Should we contact police first
01:15:49and then wait for reinforcements?
01:15:50No, no.
01:15:51There's not enough time
01:15:52and I don't care
01:15:52if it takes three days
01:15:53or three nights.
01:15:54We have to find my children.
01:15:55We have to find them now.
01:15:58Oh my God.
01:16:00Oh my God.
01:16:01Oh my God.
01:16:02Oh my babies.
01:16:03How did you escape?
01:16:05It's them.
01:16:06These farmers,
01:16:07they saved us.
01:16:08Moretti's men,
01:16:09they were about to throw us
01:16:10into this massive lake
01:16:11but thankfully,
01:16:12they stepped in
01:16:13and they fought them off.
01:16:14They saved our lives.
01:16:16Thank you.
01:16:17Thank you so much.
01:16:18They were so brave.
01:16:21Moretti's guys were so scary
01:16:22but the farmers...
01:16:24We're not heroes.
01:16:26This thing doesn't have to be
01:16:26not wrong for a generation.
01:16:27We know every inch of it.
01:16:28That's the only reason
01:16:29we found them.
01:16:31Thank you.
01:16:31Thank you so much
01:16:32for saving them.
01:16:33We started
01:16:34and we should take them for it.
01:16:36Exactly.
01:16:37You helped us for everything
01:16:38and he's a good person
01:16:39and good people
01:16:40should understand the law.
01:16:41You know,
01:16:42I used to think that
01:16:44justice could never
01:16:44defeat power
01:16:45and that ordinary people
01:16:47could never defeat
01:16:48the rich and the powerful
01:16:49but today,
01:16:50you have all showed me
01:16:51that when we all come together
01:16:53our light can become a torch.
01:16:56From this day forward,
01:16:57I will only fight for justice.
01:17:00For justice.
01:17:02For justice.
01:17:02For justice.
