00:00 Thank you.
00:02 Hey.
00:03 You're smiling, Barbara. Why's that freaking me out?
00:06 Good news. Jenny may have caught the first break of her life.
00:09 The list that Corbett gave us. There's a CEO on it. Roger Pierce. Worth 20 million.
00:15 How's that help Jenny? You gonna blackmail her?
00:17 I re-read the Violence Against Women Act. Technically the way the law is worded mandates that each offender compensates the victim for all losses.
00:25 The forensics team that you put on this estimated Jenny's need for restitution at over 4 million.
00:31 I'm going after Pierce for all of it. It's called joint and several liability.
00:35 He's free to chase after the rest of Jenny's victimizers to collect the money. It becomes his problem, not hers.
00:41 Are you crazy? You want a seven figure payout for looking at a few videos?
00:46 You shared videos of child rape.
00:48 So my client's supposed to spend the next ten years in court trying to collect millions from other men found in possession of these lacy images?
00:55 You think his victim should have to?
00:57 She's not my victim. I never touched her. I never met her. I never filmed her. I was a voyeur ten years later.
01:03 You were more than a voyeur. You downloaded these videos and shared them.
01:07 That makes you complicit in creating a demand for this kind of illegal product.
01:11 Not 4 million dollars worth.
01:13 We've had a few other men agree to help this woman and her daughter get the counseling they need because it's the right thing to do.
01:18 You are obviously not one of those men. So let me put this in terms that you do understand.
01:23 We can knock the charge down to simple possession of child pornography.
01:27 One year house arrest, ten years probation, you pay 4 million dollars in restitution.
01:32 Or we can charge you with distribution and you go away. For a decade.
01:41 Tell him where to send the damn check.
01:44 Wow. The whole 4 million. When?
01:49 Right away. But it's not easy to handle an amount that large all at once.
01:53 Okay? You want that money to last for you and Maddie. You pay for Maddie's college.
01:57 No. The firm that set the restitution amount can open a trust for you.
02:00 You'll get a monthly allowance to cover expenses. If you need extra, they can advise you.
02:05 Okay. And that's what you think that I should, uh, I should do?
02:08 Jenny, it's your decision.
02:11 I just want to do what's best for Maddie.
02:13 Listen, you remember the terms of custody.
02:16 Uh, I won't miss any doctor or therapy appointments.
02:19 Um, I'll be prepared for unannounced visits from social services and, um,
02:25 and I'll make sure Maddie doesn't miss any school.
02:28 I'm not gonna mess this up.
02:31 Mommy!
02:32 Hi, baby. Hi.
02:34 Oh, my God. I missed you so much.
02:36 I missed you too, Mommy.
02:38 Can we go home now?
02:40 Yeah. We can do whatever you want.
02:43 Okay.
02:44 Thank you.
02:46 Come on!
