This thing is bigger than Nino Brown.
This is big business.
:39:04
This is the American way.
:39:07
I'm sure that the court
was enlightened...
:39:11
...by your geopolitical tirade.
:39:13
Unfortunately, society at large
is not on trial here.
:39:18
You are, Mr. Brown.
:39:21
Were you or were you not...
:39:23
...head of the narcotics consortium,
the murderously bloody...
:39:27
...CMB?
:39:31
I could not hear you.
Would you please speak up?
:39:34
Yes, I was a member.
:39:37
But I was forced into this way of life.
:39:40
I've been dealing drugs
ever since I was 12 years old.
:39:43
I didn't have the chances
that you have, Miss Hawkins.
:39:46
I wasn't born with a silver spoon
in my mouth, Miss Hawkins.
:39:53
I wanted to get out,
but they threatened to kill my mother.
:39:57
Who are you talking about,
Mr. Brown? What "they"?
:40:01
They.
:40:03
Look at him. Kareem Akbar.
:40:07
That's right, the educated brother from
the bank. He's the head of the CMB.
:40:11
The brains behind the whole thing.
:40:13
This is bigger than Nino Brown,
and I got a list to prove it.
:40:16
If I'm going down, I'm taking
a lot of people with me.
:40:19
Order in the court!
:40:41
Your Honor, may counsel
approach the bench?
:40:45
- What's going on?
- I don't know.
:40:52
What's the discussion?
