and you're sure that we can win, right? I wouldn't be so sure about that. If you really were trying to win, you wouldn't have gone with a female lawyer, especially one as emotional as Catherine. Of course, you took this case. Still think with your heart and not your brain, just like every other woman. I'm sorry, do you know this guy? This is Richard Foster. He's your boss's lawyer, and he thinks he's a big deal. Oh no, no, no, no. I don't think I'm a big deal. I know I'm a big deal. See, the photograph is just so-so, but the headline is beautiful. And to think you actually turned me down in law school. I bet you're just kicking yourself now, huh? Not even a little bit. You were insufferable then, and you're still insufferable now. Hey, I get it. You're still mad that you didn't take my advice. What advice was that? Nothing. Let's, but back in law school, I told Catherine here that she was too pretty.

to ever be taken seriously as a lawyer. I suggested that she try being a homemaker instead. Our professors clearly disagreed. I graduated top of our class. Where did you finish again? We're in the real world now, and guess what? I've never lost a case, and I'm not about to start now. Best of luck to you, sweetheart. You're going to need it. You promised me we'd win this case, and we will. There's no way the judge won't find our evidence compelling. Trust me. Okay, okay, your honor. I would like to submit exhibit 1A to the court. It's a video taken by the plaintiff's ring cam the night of the incident. Thanks for making sure I got home safe. Aren't you going to invite me in? It's pretty late. I should probably, you know, get... What are you doing? No, stop. Now listen and consider very carefully what your next move is. You have no idea how difficult you just made your life. I hope you enjoy being unemployed. As the video clearly shows, Mr. Turner sexually harassed and threatened my

client. He fired her the very next day, not for cause, but because she wouldn't sleep with him. This evidence alone is enough to move this case to trial. Objection, Your Honor. Do we even know that this video is authentic? With today's technology, anyone can create a deep fake video just like this one. A deep fake? Yeah, Your Honor. My client is an investment banker, not Steven Spielberg. Objection is sustained. The video will not be allowed into the record, Your Honor. This video is crucial to our case. You can't. That's enough, Miss Hall. The court will not have the good name of Mr. Turner, a Titan in our community, sullied by a video that could have been fabricated by your client. Your Honor, this video is the backbone of our case. Well, you clearly don't have much of a case, do you? Do you have any other evidence you'd like to provide the court? We do, Your Honor. We have several witnesses we'd like to call, all victims of Mr. Turner's unwanted advances, starting with Marcy.

Thompson: Objection, your honor. Every woman on that witness list has a clear motive to smear my client. That is ridiculous, as opposing counsel would no doubt concede. Each of these women were former employees of Mr. Turner who were all fired for cause. Now they see an opportunity for revenge in dragging my client, Mr. Turner's good name, through the mud. Objection sustained, your honor. You can't deny my client her right to call witnesses. I'm not denying your client that right. I am denying her the chance to publicly humiliate a pillar in our community. I tried to warn you, you're out of your league, lady. Do you have any other evidence you'd like to provide us with, Miss Hall? I do. I do um. I definitely do. I just need time to reorganize our case. You have one day, Miss Hall. If you do not produce solid evidence by 9:00 a.m. to this courtroom, I'll have no other choice but to dismiss the charges against Mr. Turner. [Music]

dismissed what just happened. It's going to be okay. No, it really won't. It's a simple matter of biology. Women just don't make good attorneys or witnesses for that matter. I cannot afford to lose this case. Okay, if he wins, he's literally going to ruin my career and my entire life. I'm not giving up, Anna. I'll find something, I promise. Hey boss, you're here late. Yeah, I just got chewed up by the other partners because you're screwing up this case. I warned you not to take this one on, didn't I, Logan? Taking on this case was the right thing to do. That guy is an absolute monster. Maybe he is a monster, but he's a monster with a lot of sway in this city. And if you're going to bring a case against him, you better make sure it's airtight. It was. I have him committing the crime on camera. The judge denied it. It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is the other partners are going to fire you if you lose this.

case, but you said I was on track to be a partner. A partner uses good judgment when they're choosing their cases to take on, Catherine, and they don't allow themselves to get emotionally manipulated into taking on a losing case because they think it's the right thing to do. Enjoy your muffin, Miss Hall. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. Aren't you Mr. Turner's assistant? What are you doing here? It's just after seeing the video in court today. I can't keep pretending that my boss is a good person. You know something about this case, don't you? I know my boss paid off the judge. I heard him bragging about owning the judge. I thought he was joking until today. Will you testify to that? I'm sorry, I can't. I've signed multiple NDAs prohibiting me from testifying. I'll lose my job, my house, everything that I've worked for. I heard our bosses talking today. You're going to get fired when you lose this case. I'm sorry, I wish there was something I could

do to help. Don't you get it? It's not about what happens to me. It is about what happens to the next woman he harasses. And we both know it will happen again unless we stop him. Look, if you're not going to help me, then I need to go get more coffee so I can keep looking for a way to win this case. Not for me, but for Anna and every other woman this creep has assaulted. Wait, I can't testify, but this might help. They're Mr. Turner's financial files, including all the many illegal campaign donations that went to the judge. You know, you could still get in a lot of trouble for giving me this. I know, but I can't just sit and do nothing. What do you think you can do with it when... And that's just what Catherine did, using the newfound evidence. She had the judge removed from the case. He was impeached three weeks later for ethics violations. The new judge allowed Catherine's evidence into the record, and

The case moved to trial thanks to Catherine's expertise and lawyering skills. Mr. Turner was found guilty on all counts, and Anna was awarded $50 million in damages. How does it feel? What are you going to do with the money? Were you scared? Yeah, um, of course, I was scared taking a case like this against someone as powerful as Mr. Turner. Doing the right thing usually is scary, but someone once told me that it's what makes the world a better place, which is why I'm using the money to start a legal aid foundation for victims of sexual assault and harassment. Obviously, we do plan on appealing this verdict because this whole trial has been ridiculous. It's been... guess I wasn't the one who was out of their league, huh, Richard? Uh, uh, great work, Catherine, but I never doubted you for a second. Look, all the partners want to have you to the club this weekend, talk about taking the next step in your career. What do you say? I say I quit. What? You can't quit. You lost faith.

in me called me emotional. I can't work for someone who doesn't share my passion for fighting for justice, no matter the risks. Think about what you're doing, Catherine. If you quit, you're going to need my recommendation to get another job. What happens if I won't give it? Actually, she won't be needing your recommendation because I hired her. Catherine is my foundation's new Chief Counsel, and I plan on paying her a lot more than you can afford. Bye-bye. [Music] [Music]

Male Lawyer SEXIST AGAINST Female Lawyer | Dhar Mann Bonus!

화자는 여성 변호사 캐서린의 승소 가능성에 대해 의문을 제기합니다.

사장의 변호인인 리처드 포스터는 자신의 중요성을 확신하며 로스쿨에서 자신을 거절했다는 이유로 캐서린을 조롱합니다.

상대 변호사는 증인 목록의 동기에 대해 이의를 제기하고, 캐서린은 판사의 촉박한 시한에 쫓기며 확실한 증거를 제시하기 위해 고군분투합니다.

터너 씨는 애나가 그의 제안을 거부한 다음 날 해고했고, 재판으로 이어졌습니다.

결정적인 비디오 증거는 진위 여부에 대한 우려로 인해 증거로 채택되지 못했습니다.

이러한 어려움에도 불구하고 캐서린의 변호 능력과 증인 증언을 통해 터너 씨는 유죄 판결을 받았고 애나는 5천만 달러의 손해배상금을 받게 되었습니다.

화자는 자신의 경력과 인생을 망칠 수 있는 중요한 사건에서 패소할까 봐 스트레스를 받습니다.

화자는 상사와 다른 파트너의 비난에도 불구하고 이길 방법을 찾기로 결심합니다.

이 사건에는 강력한 적수가 연루되어 있고 화자는 범죄에 대한 증거를 가지고 있지만 판사는 이를 부인합니다.

내레이터는 추후 다른 여성에 대한 폭행을 막기 위해 성희롱범을 막는 데 집중합니다.

그들은 터너의 재정 파일을 발견하고 판사에게 불법적인 선거 기부금을 제공한 사실을 밝혀냅니다.

이 증거는 판사의 탄핵으로 이어지고 새로운 판사가 이 증거를 사건에 반영하여 궁극적으로 피해자들을 위한 정의를 실현하는 것을 목표로 합니다.

캐서린은 정의에 대한 열정과 직업의 요구 사이에서 갈등하며 상사와 대립하게 됩니다.

비서는 상사가 판사에게 돈을 주고 비윤리적인 행동을 해왔다고 폭로하고 증언을 하겠다고 제안하지만 NDA에 묶여 있습니다.

비서는 캐서린에게 소송에서 패소하면 해고될 것이라고 경고하고, 캐서린은 갇힌 기분이 듭니다.
