00:00 Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, how y'all doing?
00:05 All y'all that don't know who I am, my name is Willie Gary.
00:08 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!
00:19 And I'm not talking about no bullshit either, I'm talking about some Jean-Claude Van Damme ass-kicking shit.
00:24 Truth is I may have gotten myself into a lot of trouble.
00:26 I've been your lawyer 30 years. We can find a way out of it.
00:29 You've never sued anybody before in your whole life.
00:32 This fella tried to bully me out of business. I don't think I should be expected to stand for it.
00:37 Mr. Gary hasn't lost a case in over 12 years.
00:39 You suggesting I hire this guy as one of my lawyers?
00:42 Y'all come on in.
00:43 Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Gary. Let me introduce you to my call red.
00:46 How do you feel about working with Black folk?
00:48 I suppose I am a little prejudiced.
00:49 Hmm.
00:50 Did you meet my team?
00:51 I'm Chris.
00:52 Deshawn.
00:53 Reggie Douglas.
00:54 Gentlemen.
00:55 He's suing us?
00:57 He's suing us?
00:58 We are a half a billion dollar corporation.
01:01 So, how much money y'all trying to get?
01:03 Eight million.
01:04 That ain't enough money.
01:05 One hundred million dollars.
01:06 Who is this clown he's hired as a lawyer?
01:10 You're a fighter, man. What made you want to do it?
01:14 'Cause he tried to mess with the one thing that means the most to me in life.
01:17 Being able to leave something behind for my grandchildren.
01:20 Let's play some music.
01:26 Her name is Mayim Downes. Graduated top of her class from Harvard Law School.
01:30 I know her.
01:31 They had a nickname for her around the office.
01:32 The Python.
01:33 I wouldn't get too used to me being kind to you, Mr. Gary.
01:37 Once we begin that trial...
01:39 I'm gonna destroy you.
01:41 We don't have a snowball's chance in hell to win in this case.
01:46 Just trust me, okay? I may have found something.
01:50 What does it feel like to be some small-time nobody?
01:54 On the verge of bankruptcy.
01:56 What if I don't win?
02:00 And I let all these people down?
02:02 You have been trying to turn this into your own one-ring circus.
02:05 I got my damn life on the line.
02:07 I know that, Jerry.
02:08 Did it ever bother you?
02:10 Oh, the hypocrisy. The hypocrisy.
02:13 You sit your ass down.
02:14 I'm judging your honor.
02:15 Wait, wait.
02:20 We can't split the pole.
02:21 Can't split the pole, man. Come on.
02:22 And die?
02:23 No.
