Malice from the dearest

A rather ironic American drama, after watching the first season, there are no major ups and downs. Jimmy didn't solve any big cases either, and it was over. The ordinary struggle of ordinary people is full of difficulties and the ending is sad. Looking back, Jimmy was really an unlucky bastard. He cheated himself when he was young, was drunk with money, and was full of lies. Ever since I turned myself into a righteous man, I wanted to embark on the same path as my brother, that is, to be a lawyer. However, things did not develop like this. His lawyer's path should have been much smoother, because he dreamed of working in his brother chunk's law firm. As his brother's partner, he should have received great support. But there are no good cases in his hands, and there are cases of some criminals that pass through his hands, that is, Jimmy has been defending criminals, and his life is very poor. Even so, Jimmy will still take care of his older brother, who has a mental illness, because he was the one who fished him out of the bottom.

The turning point of the matter is this, because I can't get a good case, I can only go to the nursing home to find the elderly, and try to solve the problem of the elderly's property will. This is also the soup that other lawyers are unwilling to do and left to him. Indeed, in this area, Jimmy began to earn a small amount of money. When he made a will for a grandmother, he found that the social security and pension of the elderly here were not directly paid to them, but to the nursing home first. That is, after deducting some expenses, it will be transferred to the elderly. Among them, Jimmy discovered that the nursing home maliciously increased the prices of certain items, resulting in very little money in the hands of the elderly, which means there is fraud. The most important thing is that here Many elderly people are like this, that is, they have risen to collective fraud cases. This is a good opportunity for any lawyer to make a name for himself. He did not hesitate to go through the trash can and finally found evidence. However, the problem came. The other party hired a team of lawyers and wanted to have a long tug-of-war with Jimmy, who was alone. Only with the help of Jimmy and his brother, they couldn't fight against each other as a team. At the suggestion of my brother, the case was handed over to the law firm as a partner. The case was a must-win by any means, and Jimmy could make a lot of money from it. He is not satisfied with this, he wants to be a colleague with his brother and become a famous lawyer. However, the firm refused the request, much to Jimmy's chagrin, since any other firm would agree to give a job offer to such a fat lawyer. The truth of the matter is usually suffocating. The biggest resistance for the firm to reject Jimmy's job opportunity is not from others, but from the brother who takes care of him day and night!

Chunk is a well-known barrister and has a high prestige as a partner of the firm. However, he had a mental illness a year ago and was unable to go to work normally, and he needed someone to take care of him. This task fell to Jimmy. Jimmy never imagined that on the way he wanted to be a good person, his brother was hindering him. Chunk has never changed his opinion of his younger brother. He is ignorant, swindled, and has no culture. Because he sexually invaded the prison (it was later explained that it was not sexual assault, but was misunderstood), he could not get out of the prison by himself. Inexperienced brother. In his opinion, a lawyer who has only studied by himself through correspondence courses is a villain who takes shortcuts! Even if the younger brother really gets better, in his opinion, this life is enough to do chores. Do you want to be the lawyer's colleague that he will strive to become? Just a joke. Chunk couldn't accept it in his heart, but his younger brother took care of himself so much that he couldn't let him know, so he entrusted X (I really don't remember the name, let's replace it), who is a partner of the same firm, and let him play the image of a villain and be with Jimmy everywhere. Right. Of course, the truth of the matter was also known to Jimmy at the end. It was also later that Jimmy slowly turned black.

The contrast was like this at the beginning. After the younger brother turned his back to the righteous, he also had the opportunity to use the rules to make money by opportunistic methods, just like cheating before, but he did not. He would rather have a very poor life, and would rather have a difficult road as a lawyer, which is a joke in the eyes of other colleagues! He also did not violate his own moral bottom line. And what about the brother of his famous barrister? My elder brother always regarded him as a gangster, but he still did not agree with him from the bottom of his heart. Will not help him, but also try to hinder his lawyer's road. Even if he is my own younger brother, even if he has taken care of himself meticulously for so many years, even if he does adhere to his principles and does not sell his soul, even if he really changes his ways, he must stop him. This is the deepest malice from the closest people!
