under rule 612. 我希望根據第612條法令

稍等
All rise.
全體起立
Let me explain, Miss Lemancyzk.
請讓我解釋一下，萊曼切克小姐
I'm really not your brother.
其實我不是你的兄弟
Rudy. Good.
I'd like you to meet Jackie Lemancyzk. 魯迪
來見見傑琪.萊曼切克
This is Jackie Lemancyzk.
這是傑琪.萊曼切克。
Where she goes, Carl goes.

Rudy S. Baylor. 這是我的合夥人

I sent her a letter of denial. 根據公司當時的規定，
Why? 我給了她一封拒絕信

Because all claims were initially denied.

All claims?
All claims. 所有的？
所有的
Ok, this is how it works.
聽著，他們是這麼幹的
The policy...
is sold door to door 他們...
in the poorer neighborhoods. 一家家的在
Paid in cash 窮人區賣保單
each week. 每星期有人
The claim comes in and is assigned to a handler. 來收現金
如果有賠付申請，會有專門的審核員處理
That's basically a low level paper pusher.
不過那只不過是低級的打字工作
Anyway, the handler reviews it
但不管如何，審核員看一遍申請後
and immediately sends a letter to the insured
denying the clam. 立刻給投保人發信...
The claims handler 拒絕賠付
then sends the file over to underwriting. 賠付申請的審核員
隨即把文件發給承銷人
Underwriting sends a memo back to claims
saying, "Don't pay this until you hear from us. " 承銷人接著會給審核部門發一份備忘錄
告訴他們，「如果沒有我們的同意，不要賠付」
Now, what you should keep in mind
is that even though all these people work 對了，你要記住
for this big company, 雖然這些人都是...
and they all work in the same building, 為這個大公司服務的
they don't know each other. 即使他們在同一間大樓內工作
Nor do they know what the other department is up to. 他們卻互不相識
Now, this is very intentional. 也不知道彼此的部門打算怎麼辦
The departments are kept at war with each other. 所有這些都是精心安排的
Now, meanwhile, 部門之間互相敵視，互不關心
there's the client. 同時，
保險的客戶們...
And they're getting all these letters.
不停的接到這種拒付信
Some from claims, some from underwriting,
有些來自審核部門，有些來自承銷商
and most people give up.
大多數人就此放棄了
And this, of course, is...
而這些，當然...
intended.
也是經過精心設計的

當著他的面立刻做選擇

Including the Black file? 保證不和其他人討論我經手的任何賠付申請
Specifically the Black file. 包括布萊克家的賠付申請
So you knew that claim should have been paid? 尤其不能和別人講布萊克的申請

We were about to talk about 對不起，耽誤你的時間了，奇利先生
the Great Benefit Claims Manual. 我們得談談這個
Is that a complete Great Benefit Claims Manual, sir? GB保險公司的手冊
這是一份完整的手冊嗎，先生？
Yes.
Does it have a section "U"? 是的
其中有第U項嗎？
It has a section "U" in it.
是的
Well, let's talk about this mysterious section "U."
Why don't we explain it to the jury? 那我們談談這個神秘的第U項好不好
Take a look at it. 你幹嘛不向陪審團解釋一下呢？
我們來看一看
Just read paragraph 3.
請讀出第三段
"Claim handlers are directed to deny all claims
「賠付審核員應該在接到任何申請三日內
within 3 days of receipt of claim.
No exceptions. " 毫無例外的，
Now, how do you explain this section "U"? 拒絕該賠付。」
你怎麼解釋這第U項？
Well, sometimes we get some frivolous

無意義和虛假的賠付要求
and sometimes we have to use this kind of language
to focus in on the legitimate 因此我們用這一方法

內部處理指示而已
In-house processing guidelines.
No, Mr. Keeley. No, it does not. 內部處理指示？
Section "U" does a lot more than that. 不，奇利先生，事實並非如此
I don't think it does that, son. 第U項所作的遠不只如此而已
Mr. Keeley, doesn't it explain precisely 孩子，我可不這麼認為
how claims should be routed and shuffled and rerouted, 奇利先生，這裏面是不是很明確的指出了
anything to avoid payment? 申請應該怎麼被傳遞，轉送，再傳遞

保單生效？
I don't know.
Well, let's see. 我不知道
我們來看看怎麼樣

Well, I don't- I don't know that.
Does the figure of 11,400 sound correct to you, 這個，這我不知道
那你覺得1萬1千4這個數字對不對
give or take a few?
That's about right, 多還是少了？
but I'd have to verify it, of course. 可能對吧，

of the 11 some odd thousand claims filed, 是的
那你可不可以告訴陪審團
how many were denied? 在這1萬1千多份賠付申請中

when I think of Donny Ray Black...
每當我想起丹尼.雷.布萊克...
gasping for his last breath of air and slowly dying...
呼出最後一口氣，慢慢死去的時候...
I am disgusted with myself...

I was in the hospital being treated
when the doctors realized 我在醫院治療的時候
that the only thing that could save my life 醫生發現
would be a bone-marrow transplant. 唯一可以挽救我的生命的

as I am, 我希望你們和我一樣...
at the lengths to which a wealthy insurance company, 感到震驚

Hot off the newswire.
"Mr. Wilfred Keeley, CEO of Great Benefit, 熱點新聞
維爾佛萊德.奇利先生，GB保險公司首席執行官
was detained yesterday afternoon at JFK
just after boarding a flight bound for Heathrow. 昨天下午在（紐約）約翰肯尼迪國際機場被拘留
他當時和她夫人一起
Traveling with his wife,
they claimed to be sneaking away for a quick holiday. 試圖登時一架去（倫敦）希思羅機場的飛機
他們說自己只是去度一個短假
However, they could not produce the name of a hotel
anywhere in Europe... " 但是他們卻無法
At which they were expected. 舉出任何一家..."
At 5 p. m. today, insurance company Great Benefit 他們打算去的歐洲旅店的名字
filed for protection under the bankruptcy code 今天下午5時，GB保險公司
in federal court in Cleveland. 依據破產法，

It appears the company's been looted.
看來整個公司已經被洗劫一空了
I'm-I'm sorry, Rudy.
I wanted you to get every penny of that money. 我很抱歉，魯迪
我希望你能拿到你的那份

我想讓你知道
Wanted you to know.
這場官司每個人都沒賺到便宜

Great Benefit's like a bad slot machine-
never pays off. GB就像個壞了的賭博機...
We should have taken 175,000. 從不付錢
What the hell were we thinking? 我們要是拿那17萬5就好啦
我們到底在想什麼？
It just got all twisted, didn't it?
This legal profession. 這事簡直亂套了，是不是？
Every lawyer in America 這種法律...
is talking about me right now, 美國的每個律師
but that doesn't exactly make me feel 現在都在談論我
like a member of the legal community. 但這些卻沒有讓我覺得
自己已經是法律事業的一員了
I might be able to go on practicing law
if I was working with my whole heart, 如果我全身心的投入工作
but I can't do that and cover Kelly. 我可能能繼續從事法律工作
And she's gonna need a lot of cover for a while. 但是這樣我沒法照顧凱莉
而她現在需要非常多的照顧
I still love the law. I'll always love it,
所以儘管我還是熱愛法律，我會永遠熱愛它
but maybe I should be teaching it
instead of practicing it out here in the world. 也許我可以在哪裏教法律
而不是做律師
I need time to work it out.
Great Benefit has gone belly up. 我需要時間慢慢搞定這事
GB保險公司現在一文不名了
Barring a miracle way off in the distance,
we won't get a dime. 這曾經好像天上掉下的餡餅
God. 但是現在我們一分錢也沒撈到
You've put them out of business, Dot. 天啊
One little woman from Memphis, Tennessee, 你把他們弄出局了
田納西孟菲斯的一個小女人
bankrupted them sons of bitches?
就把這群混蛋弄破產了？
Oh.
I'm gonna go to Donny Ray's grave tomorrow 哦
and tell him all about it. 我明天會去丹尼雷的墓前，

Bye.
There's no doubt about it-I'm hot. 再見
In fact, I'm so hot after this case, 毫無疑問我已經達到了事業的頂峰
there's no place for me to go but down. 事實上，由於這個案子把我送到頂峰
See ya. 這之後我不管怎麼走都是下坡路了
Every client I ever have will expect this- 再見
The same magic, nothing less. 我以後碰到的每一個客戶都會期盼這種...
這種奇跡，一點都不能少
And I could probably give it to them,
if it didn't matter how I did it. 而也許我確實可以給他們這種奇跡
And then one morning, 如果我不在意用什麼方法的話
I'd wake up and find that I'd become Leo Drummond. 但是那樣的話，有個早上當我醒來，
Now, you give me a call when you pass the bar exam. 我會發現自己已經變成了立奧.德拉門德
嘿，你通過律考以後給我個電話好嗎？
Yeah, piece of cake!
沒問題，輕而易舉！
Every lawyer, at least once in every case,
每個律師，起碼是這個案中的每個律師
feels himself crossing a line he doesn't really mean to cross.
都發現自己越過了一條自己不願意越過的線
It just happens.
And if you cross it enough times, 事情就是這樣
it disappears forever. 如果你一次次越過這條線
有天你會發現這條線已經不存在了
And then you're nothing but another lawyer joke,
just another shark in the dirty water. 不過那時你自己也就只是個律師笑話了
只是污水裏的又一條鯊魚
