00:00Music
00:25The doctor said the stroke did no permanent damage,
00:27so if you just keep taking your...
00:28So where am I going?
00:30The luncheon, remember?
00:32Yes, where am I going afterwards?
00:34Oh, home.
00:35I set up a room for you upstairs.
00:37Your house?
00:38Yeah.
00:39Won't Alicia have a problem with that?
00:42I don't think so.
00:44Oh.
00:45Eli?
00:46Hold on.
00:47One second, Mom.
00:49How's she doing?
00:51Well, she's getting them to commit to a timeline.
00:53Good.
00:54Anything more on that campaign worker?
00:56What's her name?
00:57Indira Starr.
00:58I have the investigator on the other line double-checking the dates.
01:01Oh, good.
01:02Who's the investigator?
01:03Kalinda.
01:05Should I not?
01:06No, no, no, no.
01:07It's fine.
01:08So how are we doing on the straw poll?
01:09Oh, you'll win it.
01:10It's just a question of whether the press think you've won it by enough.
01:13Okay, well, keep me in the loop.
01:16Well, let's get you to that luncheon.
01:18Peter, what's going on?
01:20Nothing's the matter, Mom.
01:22It's obviously something.
01:23It's just a story we want to keep from being written, that's all.
01:27Somebody lying about me.
01:29About you and some campaign worker?
01:32Yeah.
01:33And Alicia's hurting you.
01:35No.
01:36What are you talking about?
01:37No.
01:38I don't believe you.
01:39Mother, Alicia, has been great.
01:42She's with the press right now trying to keep the story from being printed.
01:47And this happened when?
01:50You seem to answer questions with questions, Mrs. Flores.
01:54Yes, only to help clarify.
01:55To the best of her recollection, she said it happened on August 21st, 2012.
02:00Indira Starr said she was in my apartment August 21st, 2012.
02:03Yes, sleeping with your husband.
02:09And she said that I found her hiding in my bathroom and that I told her Peter and I had an open marriage?
02:13Yes.
02:16Well, Peter and I were separated then, so that's impossible.
02:22Another lie.
02:23At a certain point, the story just crumbles, Mandy.
02:26Indira Starr said she slept with Peter on September 30th at the St. Martin Hotel,
02:29and afterward she heard him call you to discuss picking up the kids.
02:33Is that not true?
02:34What time was that exactly?
02:36So Eli can double-check her story?
02:37No.
02:38So I can refresh my memory.
02:42You really are a lawyer.
02:43Yes, and I am late for court.
02:45She said she heard the call at 11.30 p.m. approximately.
02:50No.
02:51To the best of my memory, Peter and I didn't talk that night.
02:54Well, thank you for your time, Mrs. Florek.
02:58It's much appreciated.
02:59You're welcome.
03:00Hope you kill the story.
03:01I don't like being lied about.
03:03No one does.
03:04I could kiss you.
03:07Well, that would give them something to write about.
03:10Hey, you got a pen?
03:12Yeah, Eli, I have a pen.
03:14She claims Peter made a call at 11.30 immediately after sex.
03:18At the St. Martin Hotel?
03:19Mm-hmm.
03:2015th floor.
03:21Indira Starr was in room 803, and then she went up to Peter's.
03:25In my check, I think I was in the adjoining room that night.
03:3015th, with the door open.
03:35This is Trey Lawson.
03:37Trey was a 19-year-old college freshman living his dream,
03:42attending Chicago Polytech on a water polo scholarship,
03:46until one day he was hazed to death by...
03:50This man, his team mate, Wayne Crockett.
03:54He is the one who taunted Trey, bullied him, and eventually drowned him.
04:02Wayne Crockett pled guilty to the drowning.
04:05He is serving eight years in prison.
04:08And yet, Ms. Lockhart isn't satisfied.
04:12She is suing...
04:13The university where this heinous crime took place.
04:17Chicago Polytech.
04:19They are the ones who let the bullying at this yearly water polo party get out of hand.
04:24And as much as my learned colleague, Mr. Andrews, would like to make this case about Mr. Crockett,
04:29it is actually about the university.
04:33Turning a blind eye to a vicious student ritual that cost Mr. and Mrs. Lawson their son.
04:40And what is this, Coach Shank?
04:51The dunk.
04:52And the dunk is a yearly party the water polo team has the night before its first match?
04:57Yeah.
04:58But it's not approved by the school.
05:00Or me.
05:01But you've been to one before.
05:02Yeah, a few years ago.
05:03But when I saw what was happening, I left.
05:05So could you describe what is happening here?
05:08The first-year players, they're being held under by the veteran players.
05:14I see.
05:15For as long as they can hold their breath?
05:17Yeah.
05:18But again, the school doesn't approve.
05:21I see.
05:22He's drowning!
05:23It's drowning!
05:24It's drowning!
05:25It's drowning!
05:26I see you.
05:27Get him on my me!
05:28Get him on my knees, everyone!
05:30People coming on in the room!
05:31I Theres aanto, hurting me!
05:33My phenomenal 아� west!
05:34I turned my ass up!
05:35Lord!
05:36I Hurlней!
05:37In fact, didn't you tell the team not to do the dunk this year?
05:42Yes, I did.
05:43I thought it was wrong.
05:44But the team did it anyway.
05:45And they took it off-campus.
05:46Yeah!
05:47One of the houses of one of the team members.
05:48one of the team members.
05:48So how could anyone possibly conclude
05:51this was sanctioned by the university?
05:54They knew about it.
05:55It's been an institution at the school for 50 years.
05:58And did the university have a wink-wink attitude
06:00towards the dunk?
06:01Objection, Your Honor.
06:02I will sustain that.
06:03Now, Coach Shank stated that he told the team
06:06not to have the dunk this year.
06:07Is that true?
06:08Yeah, but they say that every year.
06:09And you received a text from Coach Shank
06:11the night of the dunk?
06:12Yes, I did.
06:13Could you read the text?
06:15Don't get too drunk at the dunk.
06:18Have match tomorrow.
06:19So, Coach Shank knew about the dunk going forward?
06:22Oh, yeah.
06:23Thank you, Mr. Sultan.
06:31He offered $500,000.
06:33I told him we're not budging from $6 million, right?
06:36Yes, this has been hard hearing him say we're greedy.
06:39The more they call you names,
06:40the more you know you're winning.
06:42Oh, would you excuse me a second?
06:45You almost done?
06:46Yep.
06:46In another ten minutes,
06:48we'll no longer occupy the 27th floor.
06:50How did it look?
06:52Sad.
06:52We'll get it back, Will.
06:54I know.
06:55You retreat to advance.
06:56Just feels like we've been retreating for four years now.
06:59We're still standing.
07:00Every other firm that started out when we did,
07:02they're gone.
07:03I know.
07:04But if you ever want to be motivated,
07:05just come on down to the 27th.
07:07It's a kick in the ass.
07:09Thank you so much for having me.
07:11I imagine you'll forgive a mother for singing the praises of her son.
07:17He's handsome.
07:19Now, I know that might not be the best reason to vote for a governor,
07:24but there will always be some women who will come forward saying,
07:28my son flirted with them or touched them.
07:33But I want you to know, Peter has always struggled with women coming after him.
07:39Even in great...
07:40Hey, Eli.
07:41I can't...
07:41No, just checking in.
07:44Having a good time here at the Alliance for Retired Americans with your girl, Jackie.
07:50And would you like to know what she just said?
07:52Well, I told Peter you just have to beat them off with a stick.
07:56Stop her!
07:56How do you suggest I do that?
07:58Use a two-by-four if you have to.
08:00And Peter is an absolute gentleman.
08:02Women think he's being nice and try to take advantage of him.
08:06Yes.
08:07Eli would like to talk to you.
08:09I'm supposed to tackle you if you say no.
08:12Hello, Eli.
08:14Jackie, I need you to excuse yourself from the speech
08:18and let Mr. Moody drive you over here.
08:20I'm in the middle of my remarks.
08:21Jackie, you're going to apologize to the room
08:24and tell them that your stroke has left you weak
08:26and then you're going to...
08:26Just a few more questions, Mr. Sultan.
08:37You were the best friend of the killer, Wayne Crockett.
08:41Well, I don't know about best.
08:42But you were friends.
08:44He texted you?
08:45Yes.
08:46And could you read this text he wrote you there?
08:50It's right there.
08:50That one.
08:51Is Mary bringing the bruise?
08:53This was referring to the party, the dunk.
08:56Yeah.
08:56And who's Mary?
09:02Mary.
09:03It's no one.
09:04Mary is no one.
09:09Well, here's an easier question.
09:11Who brought the bruise that night?
09:14Trey.
09:15Ah, Trey Lawson, the victim.
09:17So, was Mr. Crockett referring to Trey as a Mary?
09:22Your Honor, objection.
09:24I'm not quite sure what Mr. Andrews finds relevant here.
09:27Yes, I'm intrigued, Mr. Andrews.
09:29But confused.
09:30Mary is a derogatory term for someone who's gay.
09:33A objection!
09:34For a moment, I would have to explain the relevance of this case.
09:38This line on such a name can't be heard.
09:40Okay, what?
09:41Mr. Andrews.
09:42We would agree.
09:43The plaintiff has proved the university was aware of the dunk.
09:46But it is my contention that the university could not have controlled the killer because
09:50this was a hate crime.
09:51Your Honor, this has no...
09:51Wait a minute, Mr. Andrews, you say the university isn't liable if Mr. Crockett killed Trey because
09:57he was gay?
09:59Yes, if the murder was not an inevitable consequence of the dunk.
10:03If it was not inevitable, then the university could not have foreseen the murder.
10:07The killer was never charged with a hate crime.
10:09Yes, but that should not impede Mr. Andrews' theory of the case.
10:13You say the university is liable because it knew about the hazing and didn't stop it.
10:17But he's saying the murder went beyond the hazing because it was a hate crime, and therefore
10:22the university isn't liable.
10:25Well, I'll let both theories contend and let the jury decide.
10:29So come back tomorrow, ready to argue whether this is a hate crime or not.
10:47So come back tomorrow, ready to argue with you.
10:49Come back tomorrow, ready to argue with God.
10:50If it was a goodass crime in our country, we don't have to worry about it.
10:56And this is all my confusion.
11:04It's very intense to talk about the situation.
11:07But it's very exciting for me to be here.
11:10I'm going to say that you're not going to get the idea.
11:12Hello, that's what I'm going to say.
11:14I'm going to say, I'm going to say this.
11:14I'm going to say this.
11:15my son isn't gay good anything you can do to help it's a line he's gonna keep on lying as
11:28long as we hold out sir he is lying to make you settle you told us this what i told you sir is
11:33that the defense will try anything in its power to shake your confidence in this case
11:37can you promise me you can win this deal no i can promise you that we will work even harder now
11:44because i am angry and this should make you angry too okay okay if he's not gay let's prove it get
11:55kalinda on it i'll review the case law and hate crimes and we'll talk again in two hours it's not
11:59about comfort we're the name partners yes and i'm the creditor's trustee i can veto your decision not
12:04on this not on office space i'm not saying i can on office space i am saying i have more clout and
12:09i'm willing to take a smaller office which is your choice and what is the topic under discussion he
12:13wants to put a wall in here right there and you and i will share the space we lost the 27th floor
12:18we have to double up and some litigators are without offices that will undercut morale so it's incumbent
12:24upon leadership to sacrifice true but we're not gonna do it we're bringing this firm back and we're
12:32doing it in the offices we have now and unless you want to go to the bankruptcy judge on this mr hayden

15:49tray yeah in fact you were more than that weren't you what do you mean you dated objection your
15:54honor relevance one can be gay and still date women let the defense make that argument in closing
15:59your honor this is not the time for mr andrews to be making sure now both of you sit down miss
16:06lockhart mr andrews is correct you are not the questioning attorney mrs florek do you have the
16:11same argument against mr andrews objection yes your honor then mr andrews i overrule your objection
16:16let's not argue our case through objections please made me break my paperweight mrs florek you may
16:25continue thank you now beth um i hate to be blunt but did you have sex with tray yeah on many occasions
16:38yeah on many and to your knowledge did he ever sleep with men no tray was from a religious family he never
16:45sorry mr and mrs lawson he never slept with men good thank you beth no further questions did you hear
16:55the uh rumor on campus that tray was gay objection your honor hearsay miss lockhart again objection your honor
17:01hearsay no miss florek and by extension miss lockhart the question is whether she heard the rumor that's all
17:09she can answer yes or no did i hear the rumor he was gay yeah because he had a lisp well i don't know
17:16why it was probably just the way he was you mean effeminate yeah i guess so anyone not knowing you
17:24were dating tray might think he was gay objection that is exactly my point sir your honor that's my
17:30point your honor hate crime is not about whether the victim was gay or not it is whether the killer
17:35thought he was gay your honor this lawsuit has gone far afield yes miss lockhart but the point is well
17:41taken the reality of the victim's sexual orientation is immaterial i might seem gay to someone until they
17:48found out i had a wife so unless you have evidences to the mental state of the killer i will allow
17:56you get to kalinda ask her to talk to the killer in prison he has reason to help us got it

25:55and both you and mr crockett saw this
25:57objection as to what mr crockett saw
25:59mr minson how do you know what mr crockett saw
26:02because we laughed about it
26:03beth was hot and trey had no games so
26:07we didn't know how he pulled that

26:10mr minson
26:11what is your sexual preference

26:25and does mr crockett
26:26hate you
26:27no
26:28so does the accusation that wayne killed trey because he was gay seem odd to you
26:32objection

28:30by the way she said you cut her speaking schedule
28:32why don't i head out
28:34did you
28:36did you uh
28:37cut her schedule down
28:39yes
28:40jackie has
28:42tanked
28:44a few speeches
28:46really i thought she seemed good
28:48well
28:50peter we discussed this at the beginning
28:51i
28:52am the strategist
28:53i have to be given leeway to decide strategy
28:55yes
28:56and i'm the candidate
28:57and my mother's had a stroke
28:59and she wants to be involved
29:00involve her
29:02i'll see what i can do
29:05mr minson
29:07you testified
29:08that mr crockett had no problem with gay people
29:11do you know if he had any gay friends besides you
29:14i don't know
29:15i never met any
29:16could it be he didn't really view you as a gay friend
29:18he viewed you as a childhood friend
29:20i guess
29:21you said that uh
29:22trey had no game
29:24when it came to women
29:25what do you mean by that
29:26he
29:27he wasn't exactly a man's man
29:29meaning he was effeminate
29:30you could say that
29:31did wayne crockett say that
29:32objection
29:33hearsay
29:34i'll rephrase
29:35did you ever
29:36see wayne mock trey for being girlish
29:39yes but wayne was just busting balls you know
29:43did wayne make fun of other men for being girlish
29:45your honor
29:46objection
29:47this has become absurd
29:49what happened to liability
29:51liability is dependent on whether it's a hate crime
29:53but you keep changing the nature of the hate
29:55first it was a hate crime against a gay man
29:57now it's a hate crime against men who are
30:00i shouldn't put words in your mouth mr andrews how would you put it
30:04swishy
30:05ah
30:06so now it's a hate crime against swishy people who are not gay
30:09i'm alluding to effeminate mannerisms which the jury is entitled to conclude are a proxy for homosexuality
30:15your honor a mannerism is not a protected class
30:17there are effeminate heterosexuals and effeminate homosexuals which is why the essence of gayness is an actual sexual act
30:24so there's no such thing as an abstinent gay man or a gay man who marries a woman
30:32if an effeminate man marries a woman and doesn't sleep with men then yes that man is not gay
30:37and if someone kills an abstinent gay man you're saying that's not a hate crime
30:41we're saying that you can't commit a hate crime against a mannerism
30:44but you can if that mannerism is a proxy for a protected class
30:47okay
30:48very provocative mr andrews
30:50but as a matter of law i don't know if that's true
30:54as my wife would say
30:56the law can't address everything
30:58yes but
30:59when the law can't the jury must
31:02yes true
31:04my wife would agree with that too
31:06i'm willing to say it's a question of fact
31:08and the province of the jury
31:10i'll allow
31:11what
31:12i said i'll allow
31:13thank you your honor
31:15is that a
31:16picture of your wife there
31:18no
31:21sorry
31:22thank you
31:23so
31:24swishiness
31:32no
31:33but jackie won't listen to me
31:35i'm not talking to her about campaign events
31:37alicia
31:38they're not gonna pursue this
31:40if i have a record

32:00what do you mean
32:01something that makes her feel valued
32:03important
32:04useful

32:28no this should pick it up
32:29um thanks

32:33you said you slept with peter florex
32:35at his suite
32:36at the saint martin hotel
32:38on september the 30th
32:40yes
32:41and how did you guys meet
32:42well there was a rally
32:43at springfield fairgrounds that day
32:45i volunteered to register voters
32:46peter and i just kinda
32:48hit it off
32:49what did you talk about
32:51gross stuff
32:52i thought i was hoping to go to law school
32:54he gave me his room number
32:55told me to swing by
32:56after 10 to discuss career options
32:58and this was his room on the 15th floor
33:00yes
33:01and you were on
33:02oh the 8th floor
33:03all the workers were
33:04okay
33:05so you went up to his suite at what time
33:07around 11 i guess
33:10and did you have a key to his room
33:11no
33:12the plan was just to knock on his door
33:14and then he would let me in
33:16okay good
33:17oh uh
33:18was anybody else with you in the elevator
33:20when you went out
33:21no i made sure i was alone
33:23i didn't want anyone else to see me
33:24of course
33:25um
33:26how did you get the concierge key
33:28how did i
33:31what do you mean
33:32concierge key
33:34how did you get it
33:35i
33:37don't know what that is
33:38you pushed for the 15th floor right
33:40when you went into the elevator
33:41you didn't do anything else
33:42right
33:43see the problem is
33:44mr florik was staying on the concierge floor
33:46and
33:47you can't gain access to that floor
33:48unless you have a special card key
33:50or unless you went out with someone in the elevator
33:52who did
33:53but i was there
33:55no you weren't
33:56you couldn't have been
33:58well wait maybe there was someone else on the elevator going to the 15th floor
34:03indira you're lying
34:05no i'm not
34:06yes you are
34:07okay you know what
34:09i don't want to talk to you anymore
34:10i think it's fairly clear that miss star has fabricated the story
34:15or she simply forgot about the concierge key
34:17or she's an alien impersonating miss star
34:19either way i think you're a little too close to this story mandy
34:23so are you
34:24the tape's not conclusive either way
34:27miss sharma what did you observe about miss star's demeanor
34:30she was nervous
34:32covering for an obvious gap in the narrative
34:34so in your opinion
34:35she was lying
34:36i don't have any doubt about it
34:37i do
34:38there are other indicia of reliability here
34:40merely because an investigator with an agenda
34:43catches a young girl up in an inconsistency
34:45richard
34:46can i have a word
34:48look
34:49i played ball
34:50i made the florix available
34:52peter sat down with mandy twice
34:54we appreciate that
34:55you should appreciate
34:56that they denied the affair
34:57at the end of the day
34:58all you have is some young woman's uncorroborated allegations
35:01which we have gutted
35:02here's where you tell me you have a lawsuit waiting in the wings
35:05oh i wouldn't insult you richard
35:07this isn't your first time at the rodeo
35:09and it's not mine
35:11what this comes down to
35:12is facts
35:13and you don't have them
35:15and you don't have them
35:20so you're serving time for drowning trey lawson
35:24yes
35:25your friend says you didn't like him
35:27yes it's true
35:28i didn't like trey
35:29why not
35:30he was cheap
35:31he'd make snide comments about people's clothing
35:33whine about two-a-day practices
35:35anything else
35:36he was arrogant
35:37treated me like i wasn't black enough
35:39what does that mean
35:40i come from the suburbs
35:42he's from the south side of chicago
35:44he'd call me an oreo
35:46say i'm not authentic
35:48did any of your hostility towards him
35:50stem from behavior you thought was effeminate
35:53no
35:54my only problem with trey
35:56was that he was a jerk
35:57thank you
35:58oreo
36:00used like that it's mighty offensive isn't it
36:03yeah
36:04which fraternity did you belong to
36:07omega delta omega
36:10the black fraternity right
36:11yes
36:12would you say the kids in your fraternity
36:14are light skinned like you or dark skinned like trey
36:17your honor objection
36:18what hate crime is the defense selling today
36:21black on black
36:22wow
36:23they're just relentless
36:24he has a theory of the case and he's looking for the facts to satisfy it
36:27unfortunately the judge is letting him run with it
36:30so black on black hate crime
36:32hmm
36:33and you think there's truth to it
36:34they were in rival fraternities
36:35and there were previous fights
36:38but that's good
36:39why what do you mean
36:40it's good that there were fights
36:42you're losing me
36:43this isn't about a hate crime
36:44this is about liability
36:46put the coach back on the stand
36:53i'll take him
37:01coach shank in its 50 year existence
37:04the water polo team never had members of both omega delta omega and pi gamma phi
37:09on its roster at the same time
37:12why is that
37:13we've only had a handful of black athletes in the program's history
37:16so you weren't aware of animosity between these two fraternities
37:19i was not
37:20this is a 2008 report by cpt's ja citing pi gamma phi and omega delta omega for their role in a bowling alley brawl
37:30is that you on the distribution list
37:34i don't remember receiving it
37:37were you aware that wayne crockett was a member of omega delta omega
37:40yes
37:41were you aware that tre lawson pledged pi gamma phi a week before his death
37:45a week before his death
37:46no
37:47this picture was posted on the tre lawson's facebook memorial page
37:56it's a photo of a recent team practice right
37:59yeah
38:00the person just to your left is tre lawson
38:03could you tell the jury what the insignia on his shirt says
38:10pi gamma phi
38:11pi gamma phi
38:12your honor i'm not sure what miss lockhart's point is
38:14mr andrews convinced the court to let him present his black on black hate crime theory to the jury
38:20so if coach shank knew that the victim and perpetrator belonged to rival organizations
38:25wait a minute
38:26you can't prove mr crockett drowned mr lawson because he was black
38:29actually mr andrews
38:31you already did
38:33all miss lockhart proved was that the university knew about the animus
38:39step back
38:41the
38:46through
38:58the
39:00the
39:01you
39:02call
39:03bill
39:04so
39:05uh
39:06Then we're going to open up a branch in New York and D.C.
39:11Feels pretty good, doesn't it?
39:14Was that winning?
39:15No, nothing to lose.
39:19Welcome to the lifeboat.
39:36Okay, you hand them the T-shirts, you give them the tickets, you walk them to the ballet.
39:46Understand? Do not take anyone for granted.
39:49It's Mandy.
39:49You walk them all the way.
39:51Okay, spread out.
39:56Two months I worked on that story, Eli.
39:58You managed to kill it with one conversation. Nice work.
40:00Oh, Mandy, I know you think I must relish this moment,
40:03but it gives me no pleasure wasting my time to prove you wasted yours.
40:07Here, have a sausage.
40:10She was a naive 25-year-old who was overcome by the occasion.
40:13I still stand by my story.
40:14Really? I gotta go.
40:18Hello, Alicia.
40:21Jackie.
40:22The two of us.
40:24I know we haven't always seen eye to eye, but I just want you to know how much I...
40:28I'm sorry I doubted you, Alicia, standing by Peter the way you're doing.
40:35He needs you now, and I'm just...
40:38I'm just so glad you're there for me.
40:41Thank you, Jackie.
40:51Jackie.
40:53What?
40:54Are you okay?

41:08Jimmy V.
41:09I run a political blog.
41:10Oh, well, let me get you our press secretary.
41:12No, that's all right.
41:14I'm about to publish a story saying a national magazine is sitting on a piece
41:17accusing Peter Flork of sleeping with a campaign worker.
41:21I'd like to get a quote from the campaign.
41:23Did I lose you?
41:26No.
41:27Where are you getting this?
41:28An anonymous tip.
41:30I see.
41:31Well, it's a lie, and it's defamatory.
41:35And if I were you, Jimmy V., I would take a breath before you post anything actionable.
41:40Is that your quote?
41:42What's the blog?
41:43Pooranarchy.com.
41:45All one word.
41:46Never heard of it.
41:47You will.
41:47In about one hour.
