00:00 Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, how y'all doing?
00:05 For all y'all that don't know who I am, my name is Willie Gary.
00:09 Willie Gary.
00:10 William Gary.
00:11 Never heard of him.
00:12 What's so special about this guy anyway?
00:14 Litigation is war. It's a battle. Bam! A battle to the death.
00:21 Truth is I may have gotten myself into a lot of trouble.
00:23 I've been your lawyer 30 years. We can find a way out of it.
00:26 You've never sued anybody before in your whole life.
00:29 This fella tried to bully me out of business.
00:31 I don't think I should be expected to stand for it.
00:34 Mr. Gary hasn't lost a case in over 12 years.
00:36 You're suggesting I hire this guy as one of my lawyers?
00:39 Y'all come on in.
00:40 Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Gary. Let me introduce you to my call red.
00:43 How do you feel about working with black folk?
00:45 I suppose I am a little prejudiced.
00:47 Did you meet my dad?
00:48 I'm Chris.
00:49 I'm Sean.
00:50 Reggie Douglas.
00:51 Gentlemen.
00:52 He's suing us?
00:54 He's suing us?
00:55 We are a half a billion dollar corporation.
00:58 So how much money are y'all trying to get?
00:59 Eight million.
01:00 That ain't enough money.
01:01 One hundred million dollars.
01:03 Who is this clown he's hired as a lawyer?
01:06 You're a fighter, man.
01:10 What made you want to do it?
01:11 Because he tried to mess with the one thing that means the most to me in life.
01:14 Being able to leave something behind for my grandchildren.
01:17 Let's play some music.
01:19 Her name is Mayim Valms.
01:24 Graduated top of her class from Harvard Law School.
01:27 They had a nickname for her around the office.
01:29 The Python.
01:30 I wouldn't get too used to me being kind to you, Mr. Gary.
01:33 Once we begin that trial...
01:35 I will destroy you.
01:38 We don't have a snowball's chance of winning this case.
01:43 Just trust me, okay? I may have found something.
01:47 What does it feel like to be some small-time nobody?
01:51 On the verge of bankruptcy.
01:55 What if I don't win?
01:57 And I let all these people down?
01:59 You have been trying to turn this into your own one ring circus.
02:02 I got my damn life on the line.
02:04 I know that, Jerry.
02:05 Did it ever bother you?
02:07 Oh, the hypocrisy. The hypocrisy.
02:10 You sit down.
02:11 I'm shaking your arm.
02:12 Wait, wait.
02:16 We can't split the pole.
02:17 Can't split the pole, man. Come on.
