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, Vicki 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.
00:00:25No. Please. No. No. Please. Please. No. Please.
00:00:34Dad? Dad, your timing really sucks. I was just-
00:00:42Idiot! Your 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.
00:00:58That bitch that's trying to fucking sue me? No money, no power.
00:01:02Turning over the case for you is a piece of cake.
00:01:04That smug little attitude is exactly why the whole world is on her side right now!
00:01:13Mark, I managed to get Vicki Sterling assigned to your case.
00:01:17Mr. Sterling. The Black Widow?
00:01:20That's right.
00:01:21And that's why today you're gonna go down to the courthouse at 4pm
00:01:25and you're gonna keep your head down and you're gonna keep your mouth shut
00:01:29and you're not gonna do anything to piss Miss Sterling off.
00:01:33Yeah. Dad.
00:01:35I got it. Repeat it.
00:01:38You're not gonna do anything to piss Vicki Sterling off
00:01:42or you're gonna spend the rest of your fucking life in jail!
00:01:47Okay. I'm not gonna 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. How 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!
00:02:25So this is the legendary Deep Blue Heart.
00:02:28Mom, this birthday present is way too expensive.
00:02:31Did 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, all 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, Moretti's hearing starts in two hours. We should head out.
00:03:00Alright, got it.
00:03:02Okay, my darlings, I gotta go. Bye.
00:03:05Bye.
00:03:05Bye, Mom.
00:03:08Sheesh, don't worry. Let me take some pictures for you.
00:03:12Okay.
00:03:18Boss, relax.
00:03:19Mr. 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.
00:03:42What are you doing?
00:03:43What?
00:03:46Oh, look.
00:03:48A cripple.
00:03:52You got guts, kid.
00:03:53Follow me in here for this shot.
00:03:55Get off me.
00:03:56I let you little paparazzi rats run wild for too long.
00:04:00No, sir, sir.
00:04:01You've got it all wrong.
00:04:03He wasn't taking photos of you, he was taking photos for me.
00:04:06Look.
00:04:08If you don't believe me, just check for yourself.
00:04:16Well, look here.
00:04:19I'm misunderstanding.
00:04:21Here.
00:04:22Let me apologize.
00:04:27Those dead legs are an eyesore.
00:04:29This place should put up a sign.
00:04:31No cripples.
00:04:33No straights.
00:04:34Come on.
00:04:35We're eating somewhere else.
00:04:41Sir.
00:04:43You owe me an apology.
00:04:47What did you just say?
00:04:49I said you should apologize 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! No!
00:05:21Stop it!
00:05:22Stop it, you jerk!
00:05:23Stop!
00:05:24Stop it, you jerk!
00:05:25Stop it!
00:05:52Mom!
00:05:53Help!
00:05:54We're at Sky Realm restaurant, Lexton Avenue.
00:05:56We're at Sky Realm restaurant, Lexton Avenue.
00:05:58Mom!
00:05:58We're at Sky Realm restaurant, Lexton Avenue.
00:06:02We want justice, we want justice, we want justice, we want justice, we want justice.
00:06:12Mr. Lee, finally.
00:06:14These brain-dead peasants are trying to destroy my son's future.
00:06:18Mr. Lee, here's the materials about this case.
00:06:22About your son's medication, the experimental treatment, I've arranged everything.
00:06:28Well, as long as your son is innocent, I guarantee a win.
00:06:31Innocent, sure.
00:06:34I'm going to head inside.
00:06:39Wait.
00:06:41My kids are in trouble and I need to get to Lexington Avenue now.
00:06:44Um, you go ahead and prep for the hearing and I'll be back before it starts.
00:06:49Yes, ma'am.
00:06:51Oh, sweetheart.
00:06:53You're just my type.
00:06:55Let go of me, you animal!
00:06:57You know, my sister!
00:07:05Stop.
00:07:09Is that the deep blue heart?
00:07:11Don't tell me they're connected to Sterling's.
00:07:15Isn't it the blue deep heart of 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 is the Moretti family heirloom.
00:07:27Your kind could never afford it.
00:07:28This must be a favor.
00:07:30So that's the story.
00:07:32Sweetheart, there's no point in wearing cheap replicas.
00:07:35But if you play nice with me, I 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 wasn'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.
00:07:59He won't survive it!
00:08:01Pathetic little beauty.
00:08:03It'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 my shoe clean.
00:08:18Happy birthday.
00:08:24Why isn't she picking up?
00:08:27How 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.
00:08:44Boss is the only son of Moretti family.
00:08:46East Coast real estate royalty.
00:08:48If he snaps his fingers,
00:08:49the best lawyers in the country
00:08:50will rewrite the law for him.
00:08:52Moretti family?
00:08:53You hear that, sweetheart?
00:08:54You want to keep lecturing 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.
00:09:09I'm sorry.
00:09:10No, no.
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
00:09:16in 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
00:10:10you got down on your knees
00:10:11and licked my shoe,
00:10:13I could barely hold myself back.
00:10:15Don'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.
00:10:47But 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.
00:11:19Help.
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, you're finally here.
00:11:36Please help, Paul.
00:11:37Help me, Mom!
00:11:39Oh, my God!
00:11:43Move!
00:11:44No, I 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 the 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?
00:11:58What a shame.
00:12:00There's so many people lining up
00:12:01to 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.
00:12:08God, get back!
00:12:09Or I'm going to submit
00:12:10this video into evidence
00:12:11against you.
00:12:12Evidence?
00:12:13Let me fill you in.
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.
00:12:22You have absolutely
00:12:23no respect for the law.
00:12:25Respect for the law?

00:12:37in New York.
00:12:38He is law.

00:12:42He's a defendant
00:12:43in the rape case.
00:12:44I'll give you one
00:12:45last chance to do
00:12:46as I say.
00:12:47Maybe I won't make you

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

00:13:10If you don't want to
00:13:11read the ID,

00:13:26My hearing is in
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.

00:15:21Quit whining.
00:15:23After today,
00:15:23you go from victim

00:15:47has arrived.
00:15:57No way.
00:15:58It's her.
00:16:05That really is Miss Sterling.
00:16:07But how is she hurt so badly?
00:16:08Miss Sterling?
00:16:09Who did this to you?
00:16:11Who did this to me?
00:16:12Mr. Moretti.
00:16:14Don't you already know?
00:16:14I'll rest assured Miss Sterling
00:16:16I will find out
00:16:18who's ever done this
00:16:19and I will send them to hell.

00:16:51He's a monster.
00:16:52Mom, but you're...
00:16:53You're the best lawyer.
00:16:56You should boot him
00:16:57in the jail.

00:16:59I will.
00:17:00I promise I will.
00:17:01Officer,

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.
00:17:32Since when she care
00:17:33about justice.
00:17:35Why?
00:17:36Why does he get
00:17:37to hurt people
00:17:38and look free
00:17:39and suffer every day?
00:17:41God is not fair.
00:17:44You watch your mouth.
00:17:45My son's innocent
00:17:46and you're trying
00:17:47to frame him.
00:17:49Miss Sterling,
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
00:18:02in 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 have
00:18:19just spoken up.
00:18:21Go with it,
00:18:21Gatis Morettis.
00:18:23How 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 to be
00:18:51representing my son.
00:18:52What are you doing?
00:18:53Isn't Sterling known
00:18:53for defending the rich
00:18:54and powerful?
00:18:55Why would she help
00:18:56a girl like that?
00:18:57Exactly.
00:18:57Sterling charges millions
00:18:58a case.
00:18:59How could the plaintiff
00:18:59possibly afford her?
00:19:01Miss Sterling,
00:19:02I don't have that
00:19:02kind of money.
00:19:03I can't pay you.
00:19:05No need to.
00:19:06I'm not going to charge
00:19:06you a cent.
00:19:07And don't worry.
00:19:08We will win.
00:19:10Vicky,
00:19:11are you sure
00:19:12you wish to withdraw
00:19:13as defense counsel
00:19:15and instead?
00:19:16Yes, Your Honor,
00:19:17I am certain.
00:19:18Don't forget.
00:19:21You're ALS
00:19:22consign.
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,
00:19:33but it never really disappears.
00:19:36Today,
00:19:37the devil's day will end.
00:19:40Mark Moretti,
00:19:41final call.
00:19:41You have an alternate counsel.
00:19:43If not,
00:19:43the trial proceeds immediately.
00:19:46Dad.
00:19:47You think I had
00:19:47some kind of backup plan?
00:19:50I don't have anyone else
00:19:51other than Miss Sterling.
00:19:52Oh, God.
00:19:53Why would she betray 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?
00:20:11I hit her kids.
00:20:14And...
00:20:14I asked the guys
00:20:17to...
00:20:19assault me.
00:20:20Brainless idiot!
00:20:22I should have left you
00:20:23chained up in your room!
00:20:25Dad,
00:20:26what do we do now?
00:20:28Okay.
00:20:29Okay.
00:20:30You're gonna go
00:20:31apologize to her.
00:20:33I'll handle the rest.
00:20:35Go!
00:20:37Please.
00:20:38Miss Sterling, please.
00:20:40I'm sorry.
00:20:41I didn't know it was you.
00:20:43I didn't know it was your kids.
00:20:45Please.
00:20:46It's a misunderstanding.
00:20:48Oh, so it would have been okay
00:20:50if it were
00:20:50someone else's children.
00:20:52It only matters
00:20:53because they happen to be mine?
00:20:54So any children
00:20:56would be okay
00:20:57to be humiliated
00:20:59and violently
00:21:00assaulted that way?
00:21:02I...
00:21:03I...
00:21:03Miss Sterling,
00:21:05Mark is very sorry.
00:21:07And if
00:21:08you were to
00:21:09continue representing him,
00:21:11I could add another
00:21:12$10 million to your fee.
00:21:14The reason
00:21:15that I have
00:21:16an undefeated record
00:21:17is because I actually
00:21:18respect due process.
00:21:21Mark Moretti
00:21:21is on the opposite
00:21:22side of justice
00:21:23and I will not
00:21:25defend a monster
00:21:26beyond saving.
00:21:28Mark Moretti,
00:21:29final call.
00:21:30Do you have
00:21:30an alternate counsel?
00:21:31If not,
00:21:32the trial proceeds
00:21:33immediately.
00:21:34Dad,
00:21:36I can't win this
00:21:36without a lawyer.
00:21:38Defense counsel
00:21:39Vera Cross
00:21:40now appearing.
00:21:48Dad,
00:21:48this is the new lawyer.
00:21:49I thought
00:21:50you didn't have a backup.
00:21:51Cross came to me
00:21:52before the hearing.
00:21:53She said that
00:21:54Sterling might betray us.
00:21:55She's offered
00:21:56to take your case.
00:21:59What?
00:22:00You're withdrawing
00:22:01from Mark Moretti's defense?
00:22:03I'll switch gears
00:22:04and prep for the
00:22:04printer's files then.
00:22:06Miss Crossing,
00:22:07what are you doing here?
00:22:08I came to deliver
00:22:09the defense 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 girl.
00:22:24Why would I believe you?
00:22:25I swear to God,
00:22:26it's true.
00:22:27Sterling is known
00:22:28for her reputation.
00:22:30Why would she
00:22:30suddenly flip?
00:22:31Mr. Murray,
00:22:32there's still time
00:22:33to change counsels.
00:22:35If you hire me now,
00:22:36I promise you
00:22:37your son will walk
00:22:37out of here untouched.
00:22:41You,
00:22:42an attorney who's
00:22:43never handled
00:22:44a case alone.
00:22:45Why would I put
00:22:45my son's life
00:22:46in your hands?
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 get
00:22:53your son acquitted
00:22:54for 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 defendant.
00:23:04Isn't she the junior
00:23:05student of Sterling?
00:23:06Why would she go
00:23:07against her own mentor?
00:23:08Vera,
00:23:09whatever you're doing,
00:23:10stop now.
00:23:12Don't defend
00:23:12Bart Moretti.
00:23:14Sterling,
00:23:14did I hear that correctly?
00:23:16You're trying to stop
00:23:17your own student
00:23:18from taking on a case?
00:23:19That's edging dangerously
00:23:21close to a bar
00:23:22of ethics violation.
00:23:23No!
00:23:24He's in the middle
00:23:24of a media firestorm,
00:23:26and if you attach
00:23:26yourself to him,
00:23:27you're going to burn
00:23:28down with him.
00:23:29This is your first
00:23:30solo trial.
00:23:32It's going to define
00:23:32your entire career.
00:23:34Think carefully.
00:23:35Save your double standards.
00:23:37You've taken on cases
00:23:38much filthier than this one.
00:23:40Why do you get
00:23:40fame and fortune
00:23:41when I don't even get
00:23:42a right to represent
00:23:43a client?
00:23:44Vera,
00:23:45enough!
00:23:46You taught me
00:23:47that winning
00:23:48is everything,
00:23:50and today,
00:23:50I'll be the one
00:23:51to break your
00:23:52perfect life.
00:23:54No one betrays
00:23:56the Morettis
00:23:56without paying 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 session.
00:24:09Plaintiff's counsel,
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 Forest
00:24:17Bar with her friend.
00:24:19All of Sir Lang's
00:24:19defense strategies
00:24:20right here.
00:24:22She only had
00:24:2230 minutes to prepare
00:24:23for the plaintiff.
00:24:24This time,
00:24:25she's walking
00:24:25straight into defeat.
00:24:27So we're there,
00:24:27enjoying themselves
00:24:28that evening.
00:24:29Unfortunately,
00:24:30Mark Moretti
00:24:30was there too,
00:24:31known in the
00:24:32neighborhood
00:24:33for predating
00:24:33upon vulnerable
00:24:34women.
00:24:35And that is
00:24:36the total events
00:24:37recounted about
00:24:38that night,
00:24:38and proves
00:24:39that Mark Moretti
00:24:40unquestionably
00:24:42committed rape.
00:24:44Defense counsel,
00:24:45you claim
00:24:46your client
00:24:46is innocent.
00:24:48Yes,
00:24:48Your Honor.
00:24:52Contained
00:24:53in this USB
00:24:54are photographs
00:24:55that prove
00:24:56my client's innocence.
00:24:57I request
00:24:58permission
00:24:58to display
00:24:59them before
00:25:00the court.
00:25:05Files are verified.
00:25:07Permission granted.
00:25:10These images
00:25:11make one thing clear.
00:25:12Their sexual relationship
00:25:14was consensual.
00:25:16And yet,
00:25:16the plaintiff
00:25:17waited three days
00:25:17to report anything.
00:25:19A delay that points
00:25:20directly to leverage.
00:25:21And when that failed,
00:25:24retaliation.
00:25:27Those,
00:25:27those are the exact
00:25:29exhibits I prepared
00:25:30for Mark's defense.
00:25:31No wonder
00:25:32Vera sounded
00:25:32so confident.
00:25:33She's weaponizing
00:25:34my own strategy
00:25:35against me.
00:25:36My lawyer's right.
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 Moretti heir.
00:25:44She tried to blackmail me.
00:25:45Said if I didn't pay
00:25:46her ten million dollars,
00:25:47she'd go to police
00:25:49and ruin my name.
00:25:50Your Honor,
00:25:51the defense will be
00:25:52filing for countersuits
00:25:53for 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 him?
00:26:05This is disgusting.
00:26:06No, no,
00:26:07I didn't.
00:26:08These borders
00:26:09are not mine.
00:26:10Please, Mr.
00:26:11Sterling.
00:26:15Sterling needs
00:26:15the material
00:26:16you spent
00:26:16a whole week
00:26:17constructing.
00:26:18And you think
00:26:19he 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
00:26:24after all.
00:26:25Real Evan
00:26:26shut her up.
00:26:27Yeah,
00:26:28all that righteousness
00:26:28earlier was clearly
00:26:29for show.
00:26:31Order!
00:26:31The Defense Council's
00:26:33evidence stands.
00:26:35Plaintiff's Council,
00:26:36if you cannot refute it,
00:26:37we will recess.
00:26:39It's over, Sterling.
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,
00:26:49I 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 in a romantic
00:27:18relationship during the assault.
00:27:21Tell me,
00:27:22when were these photos taken?
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,
00:27:38we 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.
00:27:54They didn't clear up
00:27:55until August 4th,
00:27:57and yet,
00:27:58you 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!
00:28:24Your Honor,
00:28:24I have even more
00:28:26evidence
00:28:27to submit.
00:28:30I have additional
00:28:31evidence
00:28:32I would like
00:28:32to submit.
00:28:36The evidence
00:28:37is verified.
00:28:39Permission to
00:28:39plead a 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?
00:29:23I really can do that?
00:29:26Yes.
00:29:26Yes.
00:29:29All right,
00:29:30I'll talk.
00:29:31After that night,
00:29:32I wanted to report
00:29:34him 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'd post those photos
00:29:41of me and hurt
00:29:43my sick little sister.
00:29:45And those photographs?
00:29:49He...
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
00:30:01proves that
00:30:02the defendant
00:30:02committed rape,
00:30:03assault and battery,
00:30:04and criminal intimidation.
00:30:06The plaintiff
00:30:07moves
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?
00:30:19This is disgusting.
00:30:21The plaintiff's evidence
00:30:22is clear
00:30:23and substantial.
00:30:25Defense,
00:30:25do you have
00:30:26anything further?
00:30:30I...
00:30:31I...
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
00:30:41everything I 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 charges,
00:30:50the maximum
00:30:50is 25 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!
00:31:13You're 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 constitute
00:31:23aggravated battery
00:31:24along with serious intent
00:31:26to do bodily harm.
00:31:27These actions,
00:31:28in combination
00:31:29with his numerous
00:31:31other offenses,
00:31:33lead 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
00:31:45of 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!
00:31:57Thank you,
00:31:58not just for
00:31:59defending me for free,
00:32:00but also for making
00:32:01sure that monster
00:32:02paid for what he did.
00:32:04It was the right thing
00:32:05to do.
00:32:05You know you're
00:32:06the same age as my daughter.
00:32:07She's still such a child
00:32:08in my eyes,
00:32:09but,
00:32:10Lucy,
00:32:11gosh,
00:32:11you'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
00:32:18like that called
00:32:19at all.
00:32:21Let them talk.
00:32:22They're always
00:32:22gossiping about me.
00:32:24But you know,
00:32:24my loyalty has always
00:32:26been on the side
00:32:26of law
00:32:27and of justice.
00:32:28And actually,
00:32:29I want to thank
00:32:30you for reminding
00:32:31me who I really am.
00:32:35That bitch!
00:32:37She destroyed my son!
00:32:39Vicki Sterling
00:32:40is going to pay
00:32:41for this!
00:32:42My son is going
00:32:44to spend the rest
00:32:44of his life
00:32:45behind bars!
00:32:46And you,
00:32:48you arrogant,
00:32:50useless,
00:32:51deadweight bitch!
00:32:53I'll have your name
00:32:55wiped off
00:32:55the legal map
00:32:56of New York!
00:32:58Miss Samarini,
00:32:59give 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
00:33:06can be reviewed.
00:33:07Mark's included.
00:33:08I have a plan.
00:33:10There's a case
00:33:11she handled
00:33:11with a questionable
00:33:12outcome.
00:33:14This girl
00:33:15is me.
00:33:16Sterling put her
00:33:17father behind
00:33:18Mark's.
00:33:19If we can find her,
00:33:20her story
00:33:21can force
00:33:22full investigation.
00:33:30mom!
00:33:32Tell me,
00:33:33tell me what happened.
00:33:34I'm trying to breed.
00:33:37Mom,
00:33:38tell me what happened
00:33:39to the Morty monster
00:33:40in 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
00:33:47mom's amazing.
00:33:48Mom,
00:33:49you're literally
00:33:50a super hero.
00:33:51I 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 butter
00:34:09will not be so lucky.
00:34:11Don't hurt my daughter.
00:34:12I'll plead guilty.
00:34:14I'll admit anything.
00:34:15That's the defendant
00:34:15for today's trial.
00:34:16Hey,
00:34:17stop or I'm going
00:34:18to call the police.
00:34:21Oh my God.
00:34:22Are you okay?
00:34:24Yeah,
00:34:24yeah,
00:34:24I'm okay.
00:34:25Sterling,
00:34:26I hear you.
00:34:28You're the best
00:34:28and you've never
00:34:29lost the case.
00:34:30You're going to win
00:34:31this one too,
00:34:31right?
00:34:31Actually,
00:34:32the evidence favors
00:34:33you.
00:34:34I'm going to lose.
00:34:35No,
00:34:35no,
00:34:35no,
00:34:35no.
00:34:36I'll plead guilty
00:34:37in court.
00:34:37You can't lose.
00:34:38Plead guilty?
00:34:39Why?
00:34:40You have a really
00:34:41good 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
00:34:45the luxury
00:34:46of chasing justice.
00:34:47I must lose,
00:34:48otherwise they won't
00:34:49let it leave.
00:34:50I don't understand.
00:34:51Mrs. Sterling,
00:34:53your parent,
00:34:54understand me,
00:34:55please.
00:35:04So that's his daughter?
00:35:08Mom?
00:35:09What's wrong?
00:35:11Oh,
00:35:11um,
00:35:12nothing.
00:35:13Um,
00:35:16look,
00:35:17I'm no hero.
00:35:18Even 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
00:35:34with 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.
00:35:41Micky,
00:35:42wait,
00:35:43come with us.
00:35:43Don't touch me.
00:35:45Mom?
00:35:46It's okay,
00:35:46Paul.
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!
00:35:55Mom!
00:35:55I'll call you.
00:35:57Mom!
00:35:59We're staring at pieces together.
00:36:02Vera and Harrison
00:36:03dug up this
00:36:03five-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
00:36:10with bribery
00:36:11and perjury.
00:36:12The hearing's tomorrow,
00:36:14but...
00:36:15What is it?
00:36:16Every lawyer in New York
00:36:17willing to take your case
00:36:19has been bought off
00:36:19by 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 starting
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 attorney
00:36:30at all.
00:36:34You know,
00:36:34I knew from the moment
00:36:36Mark Moretti
00:36:36was sentenced to life
00:36:37that Harrison was not
00:36:38going to let it in there.
00:36:40If 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.
00:37:00No, no.
00:37:01Mr. Lee,
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.
00:37:13Mr. Lee,
00:37:14he once taught me
00:37:15that justice
00:37:15must never yield to evil.
00:37:17This 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 up regular people's misery.
00:37:41No question,
00:37:41no question.
00:37:44It seems the undefeated myth
00:37:46is finally crumbling.
00:37:47Betraying me
00:37:48always comes with consequences.
00:37:50Don't worry,
00:37:51Mr. Marty.
00:37:52Once this is all over,
00:37:54I'll file to 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 she 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 Council,
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 Council,
00:39:04please enter.
00:39:09Mom,
00:39:09what do we do?
00:39:10What if William isn't coming?
00:39:18Mom,
00:39:18what 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.
00:39:24Give it up,
00:39:26Sterling.
00:39:26You're a disgrace,
00:39:28a parasite in this industry.
00:39:30Anyone who defends you
00:39:31is committing career suicide.
00:39:33You're lying.
00:39:34Don't worry, everyone.
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 Council does not appear.
00:39:44The healing proceeds without them.
00:39:46Why is this happening?
00:39:48We've treated William like family for years.
00:39:51Why would he abandon us?
00:39:52Sarah,
00:39:52I've made so many mistakes.
00:39:54Maybe all of this is happening
00:39:56because I deserve it.
00:39:57No,
00:39:58it's not.
00:39:5910,
00:40:009,
00:40:028,
00:40:037,
00:40:046,
00:40:055,
00:40:064,
00:40:083,
00:40:092,
00:40:111,
00:40:14Defense Council has failed.
00:40:15Defense Council Williams Lee.
00:40:18Requesting by entry.
00:40:19Defense Council Annie Hofstron.
00:40:21Defense Council Bill Reis.
00:40:23Defense Council Devin Paul Rees.
00:40:25Defense Council Eleanor Reis.
00:40:27Defense Council 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
00:40:37of all of New York,
00:40:38we collectively petition
00:40:40to defend
00:40:41Ms. Marvicki 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.
00:41:10She's a public interest legend.
00:41:12Why would she defend, uh,
00:41:14Sterling?
00:41:15Ms. Sterling,
00:41:16looks like we're made it just in time.
00:41:17William,
00:41:18did you bring all of these lawyers here?
00:41:20No.
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.
00:41:26They 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.
00:41:37No,
00:41:38why would you say that?
00:41:39Ms. 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
00:41:46by a very evil
00:41:48and powerful entity,
00:41:49and they erase anyone
00:41:50that stands in their way.
00:41:52I can't ask any of you
00:41:53to get caught up
00:41:54in their fury
00:41:54and their retaliation.
00:41:56I need you to leave.
00:41:57I am not leaving.
00:41:59I want to see by my own eyes
00:42:02whether power and money
00:42:03get to decide
00:42:04what's right
00:42:05and what's wrong.
00:42:06Whether a lawyer
00:42:07who stands for justice
00:42:08can be crushed
00:42:10like a bug.
00:42:11That's right.
00:42:12We're now leaving.
00:42:13We're not leaving.
00:42:15We're not leaving.
00:42:16That's right.
00:42:19We're not leaving.
00:42:21That's right.
00:42:22We're not leaving.
00:42:23We're not leaving.
00:42:24Professor?
00:42:26Peter?
00:42:27You're the plaintiff's counsel?
00:42:29That's right.
00:42:30Professor,
00:42:31you taught me
00:42:32to always stand
00:42:33on the side of justice.
00:42:34So,
00:42:35why are you
00:42:36defending a monster?
00:42:38Now listen very carefully.
00:42:40She is not a monster.
00:42:41Vicky Sterling,
00:42:43in my view,
00:42:43is the finest lawyer
00:42:45in all of New York.
00:42:46Professor,
00:42:47I don't understand
00:42:48what you're talking about.
00:42:49Do you remember
00:42:50the first case
00:42:51I taught you?
00:42:52The Charles solicited evidence case
00:42:54like 20 years ago?
00:42:57Oh,
00:42:57I know that one.
00:42:58Officer Charles,
00:42:59he was notorious
00:43:00for violent arrest.
00:43:01I heard he even set up
00:43:02a poor kid named Lauren.
00:43:04Right.
00:43:04I heard the Supreme Court
00:43:06created a new rule
00:43:07because of that case.
00:43:08And the lawyer
00:43:09who defended that kid
00:43:10was just some nobody
00:43:12back then.
00:43:12Lauren had zero
00:43:14criminal intent.
00:43:15He was framed.
00:43:16Everyone thought
00:43:17he was doomed.
00:43:18But that rookie lawyer
00:43:19stood alone
00:43:20against the entire system
00:43:21and won an acquittal.
00:43:22And that rookie lawyer
00:43:24was Vicky Sterling.
00:43:28What?
00:43:31What?
00:43:32So you're saying
00:43:33the woman
00:43:34everyone's calling a monster
00:43:35was that rookie lawyer?
00:43:36Impossible.
00:43:38Vicky Sterling
00:43:39only entered the field
00:43:4010 years ago.
00:43:41How could she work
00:43:42a case from 20 years ago?
00:43:44That makes no sense.
00:43:46On the contrary.
00:43:48Absolutely.
00:43:49That is why
00:43:51she is so extraordinary.
00:43:54The people know the case.
00:43:56But they do not know
00:43:58that the dirty cop
00:44:00was backed
00:44:00by one of the most powerful
00:44:03real estate syndicates
00:44:05in New York.
00:44:06They threatened her life.
00:44:08But she didn't back down.
00:44:11She won the case.
00:44:12And then
00:44:13she had to disappear
00:44:14for 10 years.
00:44:16Mom moved us
00:44:18from place to place
00:44:19for years.
00:44:20So that's why.
00:44:23Sarah,
00:44:24you and Paul
00:44:25never had a normal
00:44:26or stable childhood.
00:44:27That was all my fault.
00:44:29I mean, your father...
00:44:30No, it's not.
00:44:32You told us
00:44:33something had to be done
00:44:34by someone.
00:44:36Paul and I
00:44:37think you're a superhero.
00:44:39Always be proud of you.
00:44:42My God.
00:44:43She risked her life
00:44:44and her family's safety
00:44:45for a stranger.
00:44:46If this is true,
00:44:47then Mrs. Sterling
00:44:49is really the best lawyer
00:44:50in New York.
00:44:51Enough!
00:44:53One good act
00:44:54doesn't wipe out
00:44:55what she's done.
00:44:56I've worked under
00:44:57Vicky Sterling
00:44:58for five years.
00:44:59She's protected the rich
00:45:01and pocketed
00:45:01massive amount of fees.
00:45:03She's let criminals
00:45:04walk free.
00:45:06She's destroyed
00:45:06family's lives.
00:45:10She's destroyed
00:45:11family's lives.
00:45:13You're lying.
00:45:14My mom would never
00:45:14do anything like that.
00:45:16Your Honor,
00:45:17as Vicky Sterling's
00:45:18closest formal student,
00:45:20I've seen every case
00:45:21she has handled.
00:45:22So I testify
00:45:23that she repeatedly
00:45:25abused her power,
00:45:26she twisted the law,
00:45:28and she left a disaster.
00:45:30She deserves
00:45:31to be punished!
00:45:32That's a lie,
00:45:33Your Honor.
00:45:33I've worked closely
00:45:34with Mrs. Sterling
00:45:35for more than 10 years.
00:45:36I can personally testify
00:45:37that none of that is true.
00:45:39She has always
00:45:40respected the law
00:45:40and upheld due process.
00:45:42Exactly.
00:45:43Mrs. Sterling
00:45:44risked your own life
00:45:45and your family's safety
00:45:46to defend the stranger.
00:45:47Why would someone like this
00:45:48suddenly abandon her safety?
00:45:50So what?
00:45:51She did something good
00:45:5220 years ago.
00:45:54That doesn't mean
00:45:55she's good now.
00:45:56She cannot erase
00:45:58the crime she's committed.
00:45:59That's right.
00:46:00Sterling destroyed my family.
00:46:02My husband died
00:46:03because of her.
00:46:04Maybe she became greedy
00:46:05after fighting the powerful
00:46:06all those years ago.
00:46:08People like her
00:46:09are worse than criminals.
00:46:11Silence!
00:46:12Everyone sits down.
00:46:16Your Honor,
00:46:18everything that
00:46:18Defense presented today
00:46:20is irrelevant.
00:46:21Whatever she did
00:46:2220 years ago
00:46:23has nothing to do
00:46:24with the crime
00:46:25she committed today.
00:46:26If 20 years
00:46:27of integrity
00:46:28are not enough
00:46:30to prove her character,
00:46:31then what about
00:46:32the last 10?
00:46:33What are you implying?
00:46:34I'm sure you've all heard
00:46:37of the Dawn Foundation,
00:46:39New York's biggest
00:46:40charity organization.
00:46:42The anonymous founder
00:46:43is Vicky Sterling.
00:46:51The Dawn Foundation's reach
00:46:53covers the entire East Coast.
00:46:55Say thousands of families.
00:46:56What happened back then
00:46:57changed her, yes.
00:47:00But it didn't break her.
00:47:01She found other ways
00:47:03to fight for justice
00:47:05quietly from the shadows.
00:47:07These are Miss Sterling's
00:47:08donation records.
00:47:10Yet she charged
00:47:11high legal fees,
00:47:12but she donated
00:47:13over 90% of her income
00:47:14to Dawn.
00:47:15It across 10 years
00:47:16has a total of
00:47:17$800 million.
00:47:21Miss Sterling understood
00:47:22that fighting
00:47:24absolute power alone
00:47:26would only risk
00:47:28more innocent lives.
00:47:30The Dawn Foundation.
00:47:32I remember a small town
00:47:33near New York
00:47:34that was wiped out
00:47:34by floods.
00:47:36The Dawn founded
00:47:36other settlements.
00:47:37Three years ago
00:47:38when my husband passed,
00:47:40I couldn't afford
00:47:41to raise my kids.
00:47:42I was going to give them up.
00:47:43Dawn stepped in
00:47:44and covered their schooling.
00:47:46So Sterling's high fees
00:47:47were just a way
00:47:48to help more people?
00:47:50Did we blame her wrong?
00:47:51Your Honor,
00:47:52this record proves
00:47:53Vicky Sterling's integrity
00:47:54beyond question.
00:47:55A woman who donates
00:47:57nearly everything
00:47:58she earns
00:47:59is not driven by greed
00:48:00and she would never
00:48:01betray her principles
00:48:01for profit.
00:48:04I thought Sterling was
00:48:06just another greedy lawyer
00:48:07but she had donated
00:48:08everything.
00:48:09She had no reason
00:48:10to hurt anyone.
00:48:11Hard to believe
00:48:11that black widow
00:48:12of the legal world
00:48:13is actually that good.
00:48:15Mom,
00:48:17you did all of this
00:48:18in secret.
00:48:19We believe you.
00:48:20Everyone here
00:48:21believes you're innocent.
00:48:23They'll clear your name.
00:48:24But Sarah,
00:48:25there are things
00:48:26that I've done
00:48:26that are truly wrong.
00:48:28So what
00:48:30if she founded
00:48:31a charity?
00:48:32Your Honor,
00:48:33objection.
00:48:34These so-called
00:48:34good deeds
00:48:35doesn't prove
00:48:36her innocence.
00:48:38Objection sustained.
00:48:41Defense counsel.
00:48:42You know it.
00:48:43You must present
00:48:44direct evidence.
00:48:50Is there anything?
00:48:58See?
00:48:59If she were innocent,
00:49:00they wouldn't have
00:49:01showed up empty-handed.
00:49:02Vicky Sterling
00:49:03is exactly
00:49:04what I said she is.
00:49:06A corrupt,
00:49:07ruthless parasite.
00:49:08That's enough.
00:49:09You keep on choosing
00:49:10the best deal is guilty.
00:49:12Where's your evidence?
00:49:12Oh, I have evidence.
00:49:15Your Honor,
00:49:16the prosecution
00:49:17formally requests
00:49:18to call our
00:49:19most important witnesses.
00:49:22Please.
00:49:27Murderer!
00:49:28She's the one
00:49:29who killed my father!
00:49:33Order.
00:49:34Plaintiff counsel,
00:49:35please identify
00:49:36your witness.
00:49:37Your Honor,
00:49:38this is our
00:49:39key witness.
00:49:40Nina,
00:49:41daughter of the
00:49:42defendant
00:49:42in the Hank murder case.
00:49:44The Hank case?
00:49:45I remember that.
00:49:46It was the biggest
00:49:47wrongful conviction
00:49:48scandal five years ago.
00:49:50All the evidence
00:49:50favored Hank.
00:49:51he was this close
00:49:52to acquittal.
00:49:53Yeah,
00:49:53but out of nowhere
00:49:54during the final hearing,
00:49:55he confessed.
00:49:56Everyone said
00:49:57he must have been
00:49:57threatened by someone
00:49:58powerful behind the scenes.
00:50:00Your Honor,
00:50:01the attorney
00:50:02who represented
00:50:03the plaintiff
00:50:04against Hank
00:50:04was Vicky Sterling.
00:50:06We now accuse her
00:50:08of abusing
00:50:09the justice system
00:50:10and forcing
00:50:10an innocent man
00:50:12into a wrongful verdict.
00:50:14Witness,
00:50:15you can go with
00:50:16your testimony.
00:50:17Five years ago,
00:50:19I was eight,
00:50:20right before hearing.
00:50:21Dad promised me
00:50:22that he didn't kill anyone,
00:50:23that he did win.
00:50:25But during recess,
00:50:26I saw him
00:50:27kneeling on the ground
00:50:28begging that monster.
00:50:30Everyone said
00:50:30he would win.
00:50:31But after meeting her,
00:50:33he confessed to murder.
00:50:35He killed my father.
00:50:36He made me an orphan.
00:50:38Through our investigation,
00:50:40we discovered
00:50:40Miss Sterling's client
00:50:42in that case
00:50:43was begged
00:50:44by a powerful
00:50:45real estate taker.
00:50:46We have every reason
00:50:48to believe.
00:50:48She used intimidation
00:50:50and violence
00:50:50to force Hank
00:50:51into a false confession
00:50:53just to protect the rich.
00:50:55Vicky Sterling,
00:50:56you destroyed
00:50:57an innocent life.
00:50:58You left a little girl
00:50:59without a father.
00:51:00Aren't you afraid
00:51:01you're burning hell
00:51:02for what you've done?
00:51:06My God,
00:51:07she was only eight.
00:51:09Her father gone
00:51:10because of a wrongful conviction.
00:51:11It's so heartbreaking.
00:51:12I knew it.
00:51:13This woman was never
00:51:14a good person.
00:51:15She got my husband killed.
00:51:17Now we find out
00:51:18she got the girl's
00:51:19father killed too.
00:51:21And to think
00:51:22I almost believed her earlier.
00:51:23She's nothing but a butcher
00:51:25hiding behind a charity mask.
00:51:27No,
00:51:27my mom wouldn't do that.
00:51:30Mom,
00:51:31tell them.
00:51:31Tell them the truth.
00:51:32tell them you didn't do this.
00:51:34No, Sarah.
00:51:35It was my fault.
00:51:36What happened back then
00:51:37happened because of me.
00:51:43She admitted it.
00:51:44So it was true.
00:51:47Dad,
00:51:48after all these years,
00:51:49the monster
00:51:50finally been confessed.
00:51:52Your Honor,
00:51:53the defendant,
00:51:54Vicky Sterling,
00:51:54just admitted guilt
00:51:55in open court.
00:51:57Objection!
00:51:58Miss Dillon was only
00:51:59expressing remorse
00:51:59and not admitting
00:52:00any actual crimes.
00:52:01you must stop
00:52:03making up words
00:52:04and fabricate confession.
00:52:06Oh, please, William.
00:52:07You're still defending her?
00:52:08Even she admits it.
00:52:10Your Honor,
00:52:11I request an immediate recess.
00:52:13Your Honor,
00:52:14I can prove
00:52:15that my client,
00:52:17Vicky Sterling,
00:52:18has not committed
00:52:19any crime whatsoever.
00:52:21Her belief that she is guilty
00:52:23is based on her
00:52:24extraordinary
00:52:25sense of responsibility.
00:52:30Defense counsel,
00:52:31you claim your client
00:52:33is innocent,
00:52:34but I will repeat it again.
00:52:36Where's the evidence?
00:52:37I do have evidence,
00:52:39but before that,
00:52:40I would ask Your Honor
00:52:42permission
00:52:42to cross-reference
00:52:44the witness.
00:52:45Witness,
00:52:46are you able
00:52:47to continue
00:52:47answering questions?
00:52:49You can proceed.
00:52:51Please describe again
00:52:52what you really saw
00:52:53during recess
00:52:54those five years ago.
00:52:55I saw my father
00:52:57kneeling on the ground
00:52:58begging this monster.
00:53:00He was hurt
00:53:01and it looks like
00:53:02he's begging her.
00:53:04Isn't it obvious?
00:53:06Sterling must have
00:53:07used violence.
00:53:08She threatened Hank
00:53:09into confessing.
00:53:11Just to clarify,
00:53:12you did not really
00:53:14hear their conversation
00:53:15and you did not
00:53:16really see
00:53:18Vicky Sterling
00:53:19strike your father.
00:53:23Objection,
00:53:24Your Honor.
00:53:24The defense
00:53:25is leading
00:53:26the witness.
00:53:27I demand that
00:53:28the questioning
00:53:29stops immediately.
00:53:30Objection sustained.
00:53:32Defense counsel,
00:53:33stop this line
00:53:33of questioning.
00:53:35The court needs
00:53:36direct evidence.
00:53:37I...
00:53:38If you had evidence,
00:53:39you would have
00:53:40presented it already.
00:53:41It's been five years.
00:53:42There's no way
00:53:43you found anything.
00:53:44You're right
00:53:44about one point.
00:53:46Time erodes evidence.
00:53:48Then stop wasting
00:53:49the court's time.
00:53:51Again,
00:53:51Your Honor,
00:53:52I request an immediate
00:53:53recess.
00:53:54Your Honor,
00:53:55wait.
00:53:56I do have evidence.
00:54:00Here it is.
00:54:01This contains
00:54:03a video footage
00:54:04of what happened
00:54:05that day,
00:54:07actually five years ago.
00:54:09Impossible.
00:54:10After all these years,
00:54:11there was never
00:54:12any video evidence.
00:54:13This has to be fake.
00:54:14It really was
00:54:16difficult to recover
00:54:17anything from that
00:54:18day.
00:54:19But eventually,
00:54:20we found a car
00:54:21parked nearby.
00:54:22So this footage
00:54:23is from its dash cam.
00:54:28The evidence is
00:54:29verified.
00:54:30Play the video.
00:54:35Listen up.
00:54:36In court,
00:54:37you would better
00:54:38leave court.
00:54:38Otherwise,
00:54:39your sweet little daughter
00:54:40will not be sober.
00:54:42Okay,
00:54:43don't hurt her.
00:54:44I'll plead guilty.
00:54:45I'll admit to anything.
00:54:46Stop or I'll
00:54:47call the police.
00:54:49God,
00:54:50are you okay?
00:54:51Yeah.
00:54:51Actually,
00:54:52the evidence favors you.
00:54:53I'm going to lose today.
00:54:54No,
00:54:55I'll
00:54:55complain myself
00:54:56guilty in court.
00:54:57You must win.
00:55:01Dad,
00:55:02so he confessed
00:55:03to protect me?
00:55:04How?
00:55:04How could this be?
00:55:06What really happened
00:55:07back then?
00:55:07Tell me the truth.
00:55:09Sorry.
00:55:13What really happened
00:55:14back then?
00:55:15Tell me the truth.
00:55:16Sorry.
00:55:17Your father
00:55:18was innocent.
00:55:19And his case
00:55:20was clear cut.
00:55:21The victim died
00:55:22from a fall
00:55:23due to violations
00:55:24at that construction site.
00:55:26But the plaintiff,
00:55:27in an attempt
00:55:27to avoid liability,
00:55:29they framed your father.
00:55:31Because he was
00:55:31the only other worker
00:55:32there at the time
00:55:33of the accident.
00:55:34I was prepared
00:55:36to lose the trial
00:55:37that day.
00:55:39But he did not
00:55:40want to risk
00:55:40your safety,
00:55:41so he chose
00:55:42to sacrifice himself.
00:55:45What a convenient story.
00:55:47If that's true,
00:55:48then why didn't
00:55:49you say anything?
00:55:50You knew
00:55:51he was innocent,
00:55:52and yet,
00:55:53you let him
00:55:53get life in prison.
00:55:55I did try
00:55:57to stop him,
00:55:58but he did not
00:55:59want to risk
00:56:00your safety,
00:56:00not for a single moment.
00:56:02That's why he chose
00:56:03to sacrifice
00:56:03his own freedom.
00:56:04And I also learned
00:56:0720 years ago,
00:56:08the challenging
00:56:09absolute power
00:56:10head-on
00:56:11can only lead
00:56:12to more destruction.
00:56:13I had no choice.
00:56:15So that's the truth?
00:56:17Dad went to
00:56:18the construction site
00:56:19because he wanted
00:56:20extra money
00:56:21to buy me
00:56:21birthday presents.
00:56:22It's all my fault.
00:56:24I'm the one
00:56:25who killed my dad.
00:56:27Your Honor,
00:56:28the evidence
00:56:29clearly shows
00:56:31the client
00:56:31has committed
00:56:32desperate attempt
00:56:34to protect
00:56:34his daughter.
00:56:35From beginning
00:56:36to the end,
00:56:38Vicky Sterling
00:56:38committed no crime
00:56:40at all.
00:56:41The defense
00:56:41moves to dismiss
00:56:43all the plaintiff's
00:56:45accusations
00:56:46in its entirety.
00:56:50This truth,
00:56:51I can't believe it.
00:56:52Sterling wasn't
00:56:53the villain,
00:56:54it was the power
00:56:54crushing people
00:56:55at the bottom.
00:56:56And she's been
00:56:56fighting for them
00:56:57this whole time.
00:56:58She founded a charity
00:56:59just to help people
00:57:00who needed it most.
00:57:01We really blamed her
00:57:02for nothing.
00:57:03Enough!
00:57:04One win
00:57:04doesn't erase
00:57:05ten years of doubt.
00:57:07So are you saying
00:57:08that every single case
00:57:09that she's handled,
00:57:10she was innocent?
00:57:11I can prove
00:57:12that my client
00:57:13is innocent.
00:57:14I have more evidence.
00:57:16And so do I.
00:57:17Your Honor,
00:57:18with all the evidence
00:57:19we have here,
00:57:20Vicky Sterling
00:57:20has committed no crime.
00:57:22She's always
00:57:22upheld the law,
00:57:23respected due process,
00:57:25and devoted
00:57:25her entire life
00:57:26to justice.
00:57:28She is
00:57:29the best attorney
00:57:30in New York.
00:57:33All these years,
00:57:34I never knew someone
00:57:35was fighting
00:57:36for justice
00:57:37in the shadows.
00:57:38Miss Sterling,
00:57:40you're the kind
00:57:40of lawyer
00:57:41we all aspire to be.
00:57:44Oh no,
00:57:45this can't be happening.
00:57:47Mr. Reddy will destroy me.
00:57:49Your Honor,
00:57:49I have one last
00:57:51submission to make.
00:57:52I am formally
00:57:53accusing plaintiff
00:57:55Vera Cross
00:57:55to be held
00:57:56fully accountable
00:57:56of stealing
00:57:57our law from steel
00:57:58and fabricating evidence.
00:58:00This is a severe
00:58:01violation of the
00:58:02state law
00:58:03and legal ethics.
00:58:04Therefore,
00:58:05I request Vera Cross
00:58:06to be held
00:58:07fully accountable.
00:58:09Fully accountable!
00:58:10Fully accountable!
00:58:11Fully accountable!
00:58:13Fully accountable!
00:58:14Oh,
00:58:14God,
00:58:15I'm finished.
00:58:17Shit.
00:58:18Shit.
00:58:21The court
00:58:22will now announce
00:58:23the verdict.
00:58:24Please,
00:58:25all rise.
00:58:31The defendant,
00:58:32Vicky Sterling,
00:58:33is found
00:58:34not guilty
00:58:35and she is
00:58:36released immediately.
00:58:41As for the plaintiff,
00:58:43Vera Cross,
00:58:44for having committed
00:58:46malicious false accusations
00:58:48and fabricated evidence,
00:58:51the court hereby revokes
00:58:53her license
00:58:53for practicing law
00:58:55and sentences her
00:58:57to 10 years in prison.
00:58:59No!
00:59:07Miss Wilson,
00:59:09you've been retired for years.
00:59:10What made you return
00:59:11for Miss Sterling?
00:59:12Did you already know
00:59:13she was innocent?
00:59:13Well,
00:59:14actually,
00:59:15I had planned
00:59:16to request for leniency
00:59:17for something
00:59:18that happened
00:59:1920 years ago.
00:59:21But,
00:59:21during my investigations,
00:59:23I found out
00:59:24that she had never,
00:59:25ever committed
00:59:26any wrongdoings.
00:59:27Actually,
00:59:28she has served
00:59:29this city
00:59:29in ways
00:59:30that no one
00:59:31can imagine.
00:59:32A lawyer like her
00:59:33should never be crushed
00:59:35by such
00:59:36underhanded
00:59:38schemes.
00:59:39We stood with her
00:59:40to show one truth.
00:59:42Justice may reflect,
00:59:43but it shall never be silenced
00:59:45by the powerful.
00:59:46Thank you so much.
00:59:47Thank all of you
00:59:48for standing by me.
00:59:50Miss Sterling,
00:59:50after everything that happened,
00:59:51will you continue speaking up
00:59:52for ordinary people?
00:59:53The truth should never be hidden
00:59:55in the shadows.
00:59:56And from this day forward,
00:59:58I will only fight for justice.
01:00:03Jesus Christ!
01:00:05What a goddamn idiot!
01:00:07She turns down millions
01:00:09just so she can play
01:00:10the hero
01:00:11for people that aren't worth
01:00:12dog shit!
01:00:14Has Sterling finally
01:00:15lost her fucking mind?
01:00:17Sir,
01:00:18please calm down.
01:00:19Margaret's been sentenced
01:00:19to life,
01:00:20and every lawyer
01:00:21that have worked with you,
01:00:23used to work with us,
01:00:24has been taken down
01:00:25one by one.
01:00:25What's our next move?
01:00:26Every eye in the city
01:00:28is 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 now we pull them out.
01:00:40Clean up everything.
01:00:42We can't afford to have Sterling
01:00:43pulling on any
01:00:45loose threads.
01:00:47Yes, sir.
01:00:48Happy birthday, Mom!
01:00:51Thank you, my loves.
01:00:53Mom, congratulations
01:00:54on being free again,
01:00:56and fighting for the justice
01:00:58the way you used to.
01:00:59Oh, thank you.
01:01:00Thank you, children.
01:01:02But, Mom,
01:01:04after everything that's happened,
01:01:05you've really pissed
01:01:06the Morettis off.
01:01:08They won't just
01:01:09let this go,
01:01:10will they?
01:01:11Well, I, uh,
01:01:12I...
01:01:14Who is it?
01:01:15Miss Sterling,
01:01:16after everything that happened,
01:01:17will you continue
01:01:18speaking up
01:01:18for ordinary people?
01:01:19Hayden Farms
01:01:20is one of the biggest
01:01:21Moretti family properties.
01:01:23Are they here
01:01:23to cause trouble?
01:01:24No.
01:01:33If you're here
01:01:34to cause trouble...
01:01:38Guys,
01:01:38it really is Miss Sterling.
01:01:40Please, go.
01:01:41Please, Miss Sterling,
01:01:43help us.
01:01:43Please, please,
01:01:45please help us.
01:01:46Wait, everyone,
01:01:47please, get up.
01:01:48Please, please.
01:01:50If you truly need help,
01:01:52my mom will do
01:01:53everything she can.
01:01:54I'm sorry,
01:01:54I'm a little confused.
01:01:56Do you want me
01:01:56to represent you?
01:01:57Who are you trying to sue?
01:01:59Harrison Moretti,
01:02:00the real state
01:02:01king of the East Coast.
01:02:03What?
01:02:04His son was just
01:02:05sentenced to life.
01:02:07You mean that
01:02:07Harrison himself
01:02:08is involved?
01:02:10What happened?
01:02:11Do you know
01:02:12Hayden estate?
01:02:13Of course.
01:02:14It's the Moretti family's
01:02:16biggest property.
01:02:17I mean,
01:02:18rumor has it
01:02:18that Harrison himself
01:02:20built his entire empire
01:02:21off that land
01:02:2220 years ago.
01:02:23That land was ours.
01:02:24It was our home
01:02:26for generations.
01:02:27Moretti didn't just
01:02:28steal the land.
01:02:29He killed dozens
01:02:30of farmers.
01:02:32Murder?
01:02:34How dare he?
01:02:36Harrison is one
01:02:37of the most powerful
01:02:37men on the East Coast.
01:02:39I had no idea
01:02:40he was capable
01:02:41of such monstrous acts.
01:02:43Because power
01:02:44can hide everything.
01:02:45Those men who died,
01:02:46they were our fathers.
01:02:48The strongest farmers
01:02:49in the community
01:02:50disappeared overnight
01:02:52and only women
01:02:53and children
01:02:53were left behind.
01:02:55They claimed
01:02:56we were hired workers
01:02:57on the estate,
01:02:58but we were just
01:03:00prisoners.
01:03:01He kept us there
01:03:02to keep us silent.
01:03:03We escaped only recently.
01:03:05Please,
01:03:06Miss Sterling,
01:03:07help us.
01:03:07Please.
01:03:08Please help us.
01:03:09Please help us.
01:03:10Of course,
01:03:11I will take your case.
01:03:12I will get justice
01:03:14for all of you.
01:03:15Thanks.
01:03:17Thank you, Miss Sterling.
01:03:23Sir,
01:03:24this is Hayden
01:03:24Estate's revenue report
01:03:26from the last several years.
01:03:27Total profits,
01:03:28two billion dollars.
01:03:31Of course.
01:03:33I knew this project
01:03:34was a gold mine.
01:03:36And, uh,
01:03:37those meddlesome farmers
01:03:39have been taken care of?
01:03:41Rest assured, sir,
01:03:42they're being watched closely
01:03:43and no one will ever know
01:03:45what really happened
01:03:4620 years ago.
01:03:48Boss,
01:03:49something is wrong.
01:03:51What?
01:03:52Someone started asking
01:03:53questions about
01:03:54Hayden Estate.
01:03:56Who the hell
01:03:57thinks they can
01:03:58meddle around
01:03:59in my business?
01:04:00It is Vicky Sterling.
01:04:08Miss Sterling,
01:04:09you're incredible.
01:04:09Within a week,
01:04:10you've uncovered
01:04:10everything that's been
01:04:11better for 20 years.
01:04:12A lawyer's duty
01:04:14is to uncover the truth,
01:04:15especially when that truth
01:04:17protects the innocent.
01:04:18I just never imagined
01:04:20Harrison's crimes
01:04:21ran this deep.
01:04:22Ma'am,
01:04:23with all the evidence
01:04:24we've gathered so far,
01:04:25tomorrow's hearing,
01:04:26he's not walking
01:04:27away from this.
01:04:29This is Sterling.
01:04:31Miss Sterling,
01:04:32it's been a while.
01:04:35would you like to come
01:04:36by the office?
01:04:37The hearing is tomorrow.
01:04:39Plaintiff counsel should avoid
01:04:40talking to the defendant.
01:04:42Goodbye.
01:04:43Wait!
01:04:44That special medication
01:04:46you requested for
01:04:47your son has come in.
01:04:49You wouldn't want him
01:04:51to go without it now,
01:04:52would you?
01:04:54Mr. Harrison,
01:04:56Miss Sterling is here.
01:04:59It seems Miss Sterling
01:05:01is not only a remarkable attorney,
01:05:04but also a devoted mother.
01:05:06Please, sit.
01:05:07If this is about the case,
01:05:09save it.
01:05:10There's nothing to discuss.
01:05:12You clearly don't understand
01:05:13the situation.
01:05:14You think you can walk
01:05:15into my office alone
01:05:17and talk to me like that?
01:05:21What do you want, Harrison?
01:05:24You know what happens
01:05:25to people who cross
01:05:26the Moretti family?
01:05:28You drop the case
01:05:29or you won't
01:05:31walk out that door.
01:05:35You think I came unprepared?
01:05:37If I don't check in
01:05:38with my firm within two hours,
01:05:40my assistant will call the police
01:05:42and leak everything
01:05:44you're saying right now.
01:05:45You don't want additional charges
01:05:47before tomorrow's hearing,
01:05:49do you?
01:05:54Impressive.
01:05:55The reputation of Black Widow
01:05:57is clearly well-deserved.
01:06:00I tell you what,
01:06:01you drop the farmer's case
01:06:03and I'll put something
01:06:04nice on the table.
01:06:0830 million?
01:06:1030% of the Moretti family business.
01:06:13We're talking billions, sweetheart.
01:06:17Wow, that's...
01:06:18that's such a generous offer.
01:06:28But I'm not interested.
01:06:31what about your son's medication?
01:06:34That could be the only chance
01:06:36he 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
01:06:43has been recorded
01:06:44and I'm submitting it
01:06:45into 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
01:07:07of the Moretti family.
01:07:08But you,
01:07:09Ms. Sterling,
01:07:10you are the embodiment
01:07:11of justice.
01:07:12This is what I do.
01:07:13Don't worry.
01:07:13With the evidence we have so far
01:07:15and Ms. Sterling's expertise,
01:07:17we will bring
01:07:18the devil Harrison 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
01:07:31to post guards
01:07:32around your house,
01:07:33Ms. Sterling,
01:07:33but...
01:07:34Never underestimate them already.
01:07:36What do you want?
01:07:37Simple.
01:07:38You drop the case
01:07:39or I can't guarantee
01:07:41what happens
01:07:41to your two brats.
01:07:42Your son's legs don't work
01:07:44and pretty soon
01:07:45he's going to have
01:07:46a 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
01:07:55or your children.
01:08:02Harrison Moretti,
01:08:03you cold-blooded tyrant.
01:08:04You stole our land
01:08:05for 20 years.
01:08:06You killed our people.
01:08:08Today, the court
01:08:09will finally condemn you.
01:08:10Accusations without evidence
01:08:12is slander.
01:08:14The only ones
01:08:15who 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
01:08:27in the state
01:08:27to shut us out.
01:08:28But Ms. Sterling,
01:08:29she took our case
01:08:30and your time is up.
01:08:32Sterling,
01:08:33she spent her entire career
01:08:35defending the rich.
01:08:37Do you think
01:08:38you can actually afford her?
01:08:40You're lying.
01:08:41Ms. Sterling said
01:08:42she'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 Ms. Sterling?
01:08:51Court is starting now.
01:08:53She'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, Ms. Sterling.
01:09:07She's here.
01:09:15You actually made it.
01:09:17Don't forget,
01:09:18I've still got
01:09:19your two little brats
01:09:20in my hands.
01:09:22You don't want
01:09:22you want me to.
01:09:24You know,
01:09:24it occurred to me
01:09:25that if I give up now,
01:09:26more people are going
01:09:27to suffer because of you.
01:09:29The law doesn't bow down
01:09:31to 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
01:09:4920 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.
01:09:57Lentif's counsel,
01:09:59please present your case.
01:10:01Your Honor,
01:10:02my client and their families
01:10:04lived on Hayden Estate
01:10:05for generations.
01:10:0620 years ago,
01:10:08the Moretti family
01:10:09tried to take that land
01:10:11by force.
01:10:12It was a brutal act
01:10:13of plunder
01:10:14and we are seeking
01:10:15full legal accountability.
01:10:21Just 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,
01:10:27don't cut it.
01:10:28Hayden Estate
01:10:29is 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
01:10:40that Hayden Estate
01:10:42was willingly gifted
01:10:44to the Moretti family.
01:10:46Please look closely.
01:10:47Hayden Estate
01:10:47was voluntarily signed over
01:10:49by 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.
01:10:57Giving up ancestral land
01:10:59for free defies 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.
01:11:21I gave those people jobs.
01:11:24I fed their families.
01:11:26The missing farmers?
01:11:28I don't know anything about 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
01:11:36baseless speculations.
01:11:38That's a fair objection.
01:11:40Plaintiff's counsel,
01:11:40I heard many of your arguments,
01:11:42but the court
01:11:43needs direct evidence.
01:11:49Your Honor,
01:11:51since the opposing counsel
01:11:52can't present
01:11:52a single piece of evidence,
01:11:54may I conclude
01:11:55that she
01:11:55and these farmers
01:11:57are deliberately
01:11:58defaming
01:11:59my client.
01:12:00I ask that you
01:12:01sanction them accordingly.
01:12:03What do we do?
01:12:05It's been 20 years.
01:12:06We've never found
01:12:06any solid evidence,
01:12:07and 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
01:12:21as pertaining
01:12:22to this case.
01:12:24Medical examiner.
01:12:25Don'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,
01:12:46you monster.
01:12:47You owe them
01:12:48their lives.
01:12:49Even if these bodies
01:12:51belong to the missing
01:12:52farmers,
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.
01:13:04Dozens 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,
01:13:13Harrison Moretti
01:13:14saw the value
01:13:15in Hayden Estate,
01:13:16and he tried to buy it
01:13:17off the farmers
01:13:17and their families.
01:13:19After they refused,
01:13:20he resorted
01:13:21to violence.
01:13:33Lies!
01:13:35I never let him.
01:13:36Before the farmers
01:13:37disappeared,
01:13:39Harrison called them
01:13:39into 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 to submit
01:13:47this 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
01:14:11are 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
01:14:19is 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
01:14:28onto the deeds
01:14:29and dump the bodies
01:14:30into the lake backyard.
01:14:32You beast.
01:14:32It really was you.
01:14:34You killed them.
01:14:35You murdered all of them.
01:14:36No.
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 not only proves
01:14:53that he seized their land
01:14:54illegally,
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.
01:15:06The prosecution's evidence
01:15:09is valid and conclusive.
01:15:11The defendant, Harrison 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!
01:15:23The court hereby
01:15:24condense him
01:15:26to a life sentence
01:15:27with no parole.
01:15:29It isn't real!
01:15:31It isn't real!
01:15:33It isn't real!
01:15:36It's not real!
01:15:37It's not real!
01:15:37I'm sorry.
01:15:39Miss Deeroy,
01:15:41we found your children.
01:15:42They're at Hayden State.
01:15:43Take me there now.
01:15:47Hayden State's massive.
01:15:48Should we contact police first
01:15:49and then wait for reinforcement?
01:15:50No, no.
01:15:51There's not enough time,
01:15:52and I don't care if it takes
01:15:53three days or three nights.
01:15:53We have to find my children.
01:15:55We have to find them now.
01:15:58Oh, my God!
01:15:59Oh, my God!
01:16:01Oh, my God!
01:16:02Oh, my babies!
01:16:03How did you escape?
01:16:05It's them.
01:16:05These 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.
01:16:17Thank 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.
01:16:25We're not wrong for 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 so much
01:16:32for saving them.
01:16:33We're starting.
01:16:34We should take them first.
01:16:36Exactly.
01:16:36You have us for everything.
01:16:38And he's a good person.
01:16:39And good people
01:16:40should understand Allah.
01:16:41You know,
01:16:42I used to think that
01:16:43justice could never defeat 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 shown 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.
01:16:59For justice.
