Is é Paul Newman, Charlotte Rampling, Jack Warden, James Mason, Milo O’Shea, agus Lindsay Crouse na réalta air.
In the story, a down-on-his-luck alcoholic lawyer accepts a medical malpractice case to improve his own situation, but discovers along the way that he is doing the right thing.
Sa scéal, glacann dlíodóir alcólach neamh-ádh le cás míchleachtas leighis chun a chás féin a fheabhsú, ach faigheann sé amach ar an mbealach go bhfuil an rud ceart á dhéanamh aige.
Once-promising attorney Frank Galvin, framed for jury tampering years ago, was fired from his elite Boston firm and is now an alcoholic ambulance chaser whose practice is on the verge of collapse.
Scaoileadh aturnae Frank Galvin, a raibh gealladh fúthu uair amháin, agus é frámaithe le haghaidh cur isteach ar ghiúiré blianta ó shin, óna ghnólacht mionlach i mBostún agus tá sé anois ina sheirbhíseach otharchairr alcólach a bhfuil a chleachtas ar tí titim as a chéile.
As a favor, his friend and former teacher Mickey sends him a medical malpractice case in which it is all but assured that the defense will settle for a large amount.
Mar fhabhar, seolann a chara agus a iar-mhúinteoir Mickey cás míchleachtas leighis chuige ina bhfuil sé uile cinnte go socróidh an chosaint cuid mhór.
The case involves a young woman given an anesthetic during childbirth, after which she choked on her vomit and was deprived of oxygen.
Baineann an cás le bean óg ar tugadh ainéistéiseach di le linn luí seoil, agus ina dhiaidh sin chrom sí ar a vomit agus baineadh ocsaigin di.
The woman is now comatose and on a respirator.
Tá an bhean comatose anois agus ar análóir.
Her sister and brother-in-law are hoping for a monetary award in order to give her proper care.
Tá súil ag a deirfiúr agus a deartháir-i-dlí dámhachtain airgeadaíochta d’fhonn cúram ceart a thabhairt di.
Frank assures them they have a strong case.
Tugann Frank dearbhú dóibh go bhfuil cás láidir acu.
Frank visits the comatose woman and is deeply affected.
Tugann Frank cuairt ar an mbean comatose agus tá tionchar mór aige.
Later, a representative of the Catholic hospital where the incident took place offers a substantial settlement.
Níos déanaí, tairgeann ionadaí ón ospidéal Caitliceach inar tharla an eachtra socrú suntasach.
Without consulting the family, Frank declines the offer and states his intention to take the case to trial, stunning all parties including the presiding judge and the victims relatives.
Gan dul i gcomhairle leis an teaghlach, diúltaíonn Frank don tairiscint agus luann sé go bhfuil sé ar intinn aige an cás a thabhairt chun trialach, ag cur iontas ar gach páirtí lena n-áirítear an breitheamh ceannais agus gaolta an íospartaigh.
Meanwhile, Frank, who is lonely, becomes romantically involved with Laura, a woman he had spotted earlier in a bar.
Idir an dá linn, bíonn baint rómánsúil ag Frank, atá uaigneach, le Laura, bean a chonaic sé níos luaithe i mbeár.
Franks case quickly experiences several devastating setbacks.
Faigheann cás Frank roinnt deacrachtaí tubaisteacha go tapa.
His clients brother-in-law learns from “the other side” that Frank rejected the settlement and angrily confronts him.
Foghlaimíonn deartháir-i-dlí a chliant ón “taobh eile” gur dhiúltaigh Frank don socrú agus go dtugann sé aghaidh go feargach air.
His star medical expert disappears, and a hastily-arranged substitutes credentials and testimony are called into serious question on the witness stand.
Imíonn a shaineolaí míochaine réalta, agus cuirtear dintiúir agus fianaise ionadaí eagraithe go gasta i gceist ar sheasamh an fhinné.
His opponent, the high-priced attorney Ed Concannon, has at his disposal a large legal team that is masterful with the press.
Tá a chéile comhraic, an t-aturnae ardphragha Ed Concannon, ar fáil dó foireann mhór dlí atá máistreachtach leis an bpreas.
The presiding judge, who despises Frank, undermines his questioning of the substitute.
Neartaíonn an breitheamh ceannais, a bhfuil meas mór aige ar Frank, a cheistiú faoin ionadaí.
No one who was in the operating room is willing to testify that negligence occurred.
Níl aon duine a bhí sa seomra oibriúcháin sásta fianaise a thabhairt gur tharla faillí.
Concannon is revealed to be paying off a reluctant Laura.
Tugtar le fios go bhfuil Laura drogallach ag íoc as Concannon.
Franks break comes when he discovers that Kaitlin Costello, the nurse who admitted his client to the hospital, is now a pre-school teacher in New York.
Tagann briseadh Frank nuair a fhaigheann sé amach go bhfuil Kaitlin Costello, an bhanaltra a lig a chliant isteach san ospidéal, anois ina mhúinteoir réamhscoile i Nua Eabhrac.
Frank travels there to seek her help, leaving Mickey and Laura working together in Franks office.
Taistealaíonn Frank ansin chun a chabhair a lorg, ag fágáil Mickey agus Laura ag obair le chéile in oifig Frank.
Mickey discovers a check from Concannon in her handbag and infers that Laura is a mole, providing information to the opposing counsel.
Faigheann Mickey seic ó Concannon ina mála láimhe agus maíonn sí gur caochÚn í Laura, ag soláthar faisnéise don abhcóide freasúra.
Mickey flies to New York to tell Frank about Lauras betrayal; confronting her in a bar, Frank strikes Laura hard enough to knock her to the floor.
Eitlíonn Mickey go Nua Eabhrac chun insint do Frank faoi betrayal Laura; ag tabhairt aghaidh uirthi i mbeár, buaileann Frank Laura crua go leor chun í a bhualadh ar an urlár.
Mickey later suggests having the case declared a mistrial due to Concannons ethics violations, but Frank decides to continue.
Molann Mickey ina dhiaidh sin gur dhearbhaigh an cás drochthoradh de bharr sáruithe eitice Concannon, ach socraíonn Frank leanúint ar aghaidh.
Costello testifies that, shortly after the patient had become comatose, the anesthesiologist (one of the two doctors on trial, along with the archdiocese of Boston) told her to change her notes on the admitting form to hide his fatal error.
Tugann Costello le fios, go gairid tar éis don othar éirí comatose, gur dhúirt an ainéistéisíolaí (duine den bheirt dhochtúirí a bhí ar a thriail, in éineacht le hArd-Deoise Bhostúin) léi a nótaí a athrú ar an bhfoirm iontrála chun a earráid mharfach a cheilt.
She had written down that the patient had eaten a full meal only one hour before being admitted.
Scríobh sí síos nár ith an t-othar béile iomlán ach uair an chloig sular glacadh isteach é.
The doctor had failed to read the admitting notes and, in ignorance, administered an anesthetic that should never have been given to a patient with a full stomach.
Theip ar an dochtúir na nótaí iontrála a léamh agus, i ngan fhios dó, riaradh ainéistéiseach nár cheart a bheith tugtha riamh d’othar a bhfuil boilg iomlán air.
As a result, the patient vomited and choked.
Mar thoradh air sin, rinne an t-othar urlacan agus tachtadh.
Costello further testifies that, when the anesthesiologist realized his mistake, he met with Costello in private and threatened her job unless she changed the number “1” to the number “9” on her admitting notes.
Tugann Costello fianaise eile, nuair a thuig an t-ainéistéisíolaí a bhotún, gur bhuail sé le Costello go príobháideach agus bhagair sé a post mura n-athródh sí an uimhir “1” go dtí an uimhir “9” ar a nótaí admhála.
But before she made the change Costello had made a photocopy of the notes, which she brought with her to court.
Ach sula ndearna sí an t-athrú bhí fótachóip de na nótaí déanta ag Costello, a thug sí léi chun na cúirte.
Concannon quickly turns the situation around by getting the judge to declare the nurses testimony stricken from the record on the technicality that she possesses a copy, but for legal purposes the original is presumed to be correct.
Déanann Concannon an scéal a athrú go tapa trí iarraidh ar an mbreitheamh a dhearbhú go bhfuil fianaise an altra sáraithe ón taifead ar an teicníocht go bhfuil cóip aici, ach chun críocha dlíthiúla toimhdeofar go bhfuil an bunleagan ceart.
Afterwards a diocese lawyer praises Concannons performance to the defendant bishop, who asks “but do you believe her?” and is met with embarrassed silence.
Ina dhiaidh sin molann dlíodóir deoise feidhmíocht Concannon d’easpag an chosantóra, a fhiafraíonn “ach an gcreideann tú í?” agus cuirtear tost náire air.
Feeling that his case is hopeless, Frank gives a brief but passionate closing argument.
Ag mothú go bhfuil dóchas ina chás, tugann Frank argóint deiridh gairid ach paiseanta.
In the end the jury finds in favor of Franks clients.
Sa deireadh faigheann an giúiré i bhfabhar chliaint Frank.
The foreman then asks the judge whether the jury can award more than the amount the plaintiffs sought; the judge resignedly replies that they can.
Ansin fiafraíonn an saoiste den bhreitheamh an féidir leis an ngiúiré níos mó ná an méid a bhí á lorg ag na gearánaithe a dhámhachtain; freagraíonn an breitheamh gur féidir leo.
As Frank is congratulated, he catches a glimpse of Laura watching him across the atrium.
De réir mar a dhéantar comhghairdeas le Frank, glacann sé spléachadh ar Laura ag breathnú air ar fud an aitriam.
That night, Laura, in a drunken stupor on her bed, drops her whiskey on the floor, drags the phone toward her and calls Frank.
An oíche sin, titeann Laura, i gcruachás meisce ar a leaba, a fuisce ar an urlár, tarraingíonn sí an fón i dtreo uirthi agus glaonn sí ar Frank.
As the phone rings, Frank sits in his office with a cup of coffee.
De réir mar a bhuaileann an fón, suíonn Frank ina oifig le cupán caife.
He moves to answer but ultimately does not.
Bogann sé chun freagra a thabhairt ach ní dhéanann sé sa deireadh.
