Hey, you're leaving

the scene of an accident!

Your Honor, I'm sorry I'm late.

- I was in a traffllc accident.

- Are you all right?

- Yes, Your Honor.

- Was anyone hurt?

Then will Mr. Kaufman begin?

Your Honor, since its inception,

the Simon Dunne Foundation...

was managed by Mr. Dunne

and a board of trustees...

which included his granddaughter,

my client Mina Dunne.

Upon his death,

that board was disbanded.

We wanna know why.

Well, it was on instructions

from my client, Your Honor.

Why would he do that?

These people were his friends.

They were wonderful people

who loved kids and music...

but they weren't qualiflled to manage

a 100-million-dollar foundation.

- That's why he signed--

- Your Honor, please.

Address the court, Counselor.

Simon Dunne signed

a power of appointment appointing...

Walter Arnell and Steven Delano

sole trustees of the foundation.

He was old

and he was taken advantage of.

You took advantage of him, Gavin!

Now you're charging a crime,

Miss Dunne...

and this is probate court,

not criminal court.

- Does your client understand?

- She does, Your Honor.

Your Honor, I'm not here

to debate everyone's opinion...

about Simon Dunne's intention.

I'm here to present

some papers to the court...

which are signed by Mr. Dunne.

They've all been notarized.

And furthermore...

they direct the foundation

to be administered...

in precisely the way

in which Mr. Dunne...

not his granddaughter, intended.

- Please the court?

- What do you got?

Trust agreement...

tax exemption...

power of appointment.

- Mr. Banek?

- Sorry.

Mr. Banek?

I made a mistake.

What mistake?

This morning, after the accident

by the side of the road...

we were exchanging

insurance information...

and I used the file folder...

to, you know, to--

you know, to--

No, I don't know.

To write my name on,

and address.

And I gave it to him.

I just wasn't thinking clearly,

I guess. Must've been the accident.

Did you get his name?

Did I get his--

Yes, of course I got his name.

Let's call him.

As I-- If memory serves,

Your Honor...

- I believe he's not in.

- How do you know?

He made some reference

to the fact that he was...

feeling hurried because...

he had to be at an appointment

of some sort.

- Call him and leave a message.

- Yes, of course. I will.

Your Honor,

may I make a suggestion?

I'm in no hurry,

and I know how bad...

a person feels after a--

a car crash, right?

Yeah.

Thanks, Terry.

No. Don't mention it.

So, Gavin, when the man,

whose name you don't know...

gets out of the meeting

that you say he's in...

would you call him at the number

that you think is in your car...

so that we can have the document
