:44:02
- Your Honor...
- Mr. Quinn?
:44:05
May we approach?
Defense requests a conference in chambers.
:44:09
- And, Your Honor...
- Yes?
:44:11
Lead counsel only.
:44:16
All right, Fred. What's on your mind?
:44:18
Your Honor, there's been
an appalling conspiracy.
:44:21
One that has compromised our case.
I demand a mistrial.
:44:25
- Unbelievable.
- Let's hear it.
:44:28
Miss Ward's turned over
privileged information to her father.
:44:32
And he's accepted it, in flagrant violation
of every principle of legal ethics I know.
:44:38
- Which one would that be, Fred?
- Enough, Jed. This isn't a joke.
:44:42
The joke is you're being asked
to consider legal ethics argument
:44:48
from the boss of Michael Grazier.
:44:50
Michael Grazier no longer works
for Quinn Califan. He's a closed issue.
:44:55
- Ballast off a sinking ship.
- Listen to me, you son of a bitch!
:44:58
- I'll have the state bar discipline you.
- Do it! Please, do it.
:45:02
Your daughter will be thrown
out of the profession.
:45:05
Miss Ward discovered that Michael Grazier
had destroyed Dr. Pavel's report.
:45:10
I'm entitled to that evidence.
That proved my case.
:45:15
She couldn't give it to me so she told me
about a corroborating witness.
:45:19
That's not only ethical, legal,
but imperative.
:45:22
By the way, you so much as look
in my daughter's direction,
:45:26
they won't be able to identity you
with dental records.
:45:32
Fred, if what he says is true,
:45:35
your firm has violated
at least three sections of the state bar act.
:45:42
- Listen, in the best interests of your client...
- But, Your Honor...
:45:45
...and what remains of your reputation,
:45:48
I think you ought to end this thing
as quickly and as quietly as possible.
:45:54
OK.
