HERE ARE THE TERMS
OF YOUR PLEA BARGAIN,

3 YEARS PROBATION.

$10,000 FINE.

AND SINCE YOU SEEM SO...

CLEARLY ADEPT AT WORKING
IN CORPORATE LAW,

I AM SENTENCING YOU

TO 1,500 HOURS OF
COMMUNITY SERVICE,

WORKING FOR CHILDREN'S
LEGAL SERVICES

AS A CHILD ADVOCATE.

COME ON, YOU GUYS,
HURRY UP. LET'S GO.

WAIT A MINUTE.

HURRY UP.
LET'S GO, GUYS.

THE MISSION OF CHILDREN'S
LEGAL SERVICES IS SIMPLE.

WE PROVIDE QUALITY
LEGAL REPRESENTATION

AND ADVOCACY ASSISTANCE
TO CHILDREN WHO ARE ABUSED,

NEGLECTED,
OR OTHERWISE AT RISK.

WE HOPE TO PROTECT
THESE KIDS FROM FUTURE HARM.

I'M SURE YOU'RE USED
TO BETTER SURROUNDINGS,

BUT HERE IN
THE NOT-FOR-PROFIT WORLD,

WE TEND TO BEG
INSTEAD OF CHOOSE.

OUR 9 FULL-TIME ATTORNEYS
HANDLE OVER 4,000 CASES A YEAR.

FOR THEIR EFFORTS THEY RECEIVE
$27,000 ANNUALLY, PLUS BENEFITS.

I KNOW OUR REMUNERATION
DOESN'T COMPARE TO CORPORATE LIFE,

BUT OUR CASES
AREN'T ABOUT MONEY, MR. FALLIN.

THEY'RE ABOUT MAKING
A DIFFERENCE IN A CHILD'S LIFE.

GOOD MORNING, BARBARA.

GOOD MORNING.

I SERVED ON
THE COUNTY MUSEUM BOARD WITH YOUR FATHER.

HE, UH,
HE MAY REMEMBER ME.

I WAS INTEGRAL
IN PLANNING

A CHARITY GOLF
FOR CANCER WEEKEND

AT OLIVER HEIGHTS
COUNTRY CLUB.

MY DAD DOESN'T GOLF.

YES, WELL, UH,
AS I WAS SAYING,

OUR PHILOSOPHY HERE
AT THE CHILDREN'S LEGAL SERVICES

IS QUITE SIMPLE.

WE--WE REPRESENT
THE CHILD'S WISHES.

THAT'S OUR JOB,
THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE.

WE FEEL THAT CHILDREN
HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HEARD AND RESPECTED.

DON'T YOU AGREE,
MR. FALLIN?

VERY WELL, THEN.

JAMES MOONEY WILL
BE GIVING YOU YOUR HANDS-ON ORIENTATION

TOMORROW MORNING
AT THE COURTHOUSE.

DO YOU HAVE
ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME?

YEAH. THIS,
UH, TOOK 39 MINUTES.

CAN YOU MARK ME
FOR AN HOUR?

LET'S GET IN THERE.

COME ON, LET'S GO.

LET'S GO, GUYS.
COME ON, HURRY, HURRY.

THAT WAS THE LATE BELL.
LET'S GET GOING. COME ON.

COME ON. COME ON.
COME ON, HUNTER!

HUNTER?

HUNTER?

WHAT HAPPENED?

HUNTER? HUNTER.

I NEED SOME HELP HERE.
SOMEBODY!

I AM SENTENCING YOU

TO 1,500 HOURS
OF COMMUNITY SERVICE

USING YOUR SKILLS
AS A CORPORATE ATTORNEY

TO WORK
AS A CHILD ADVOCATE.

YOU GOTTA GO OVER
LEGAL STANDARDS, COURT PROCESS,

CHILD DEVELOPMENT,
INTERVIEWING TACTICS FOR CHILDREN,

INVESTIGATING
PROTOCOLS, NATURE OF PHYSICAL,

MEDICAL EVIDENCE
OF SEXUAL ABUSE, CULTURAL--

I HAVE A MEETING
IN 20 MINUTES.

TODAY WE'RE DOING
SHELTER HEARINGS.

YOU KNOW
WHAT THOSE ARE?

THAT'S WHEN A COURT
DECIDES IF THERE'S A CLEAR NECESSITY

TO REMOVE A CHILD
FROM HIS OR HER HOME.

SO YOU KNOW
WHAT TO DO?

I SEE THE CHILD.
I ASK THEM WHAT THEY WANT. I TELL IT TO THE JUDGE.

WHAT ELSE IS THERE?

YOU KNOW, I NEVER WANTED
TO BE A CORPORATE GUY.

WOULDN'T HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO, ANYWAY.

SEE, HARD
TO GO CORPORATE

WHEN YOUR DEGREE
READS NIGHT SCHOOL.

HARDER STILL
WHEN YOUR SKIN READS THE PROJECTS,

YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M SAYING?

WHAT'S YOUR POINT?

THIS KIND OF JOB...

IS NOT FOR EVERYONE.

TAKES A PERSON
WHO'S PASSIONATE

AND CARING
AND COMMITTED.

THERE ARE NO
SECOND CHANCES HERE.

YOU SCREW UP
WITH A KID WHO'S BEEN ABUSED,

AND YOU DON'T
GET THAT CHANCE BACK.

YOU COMIN'?

I JUST GOTTA
TAKE A LEAK. I'LL CATCH UP.

ROOM C-7.

GOT IT.

YOU'RE THE NEW GUY
FROM C.L.S.?

I GUESS I AM,
BUT I'M LATE FOR A MEETING.

MEET HUNTER REED,
YOUR NEWEST CLIENT.

NICHOLAS FALLIN.
I'M LATE FOR A MEETING.

YOU'RE ON THE DOCKET
IN 15 MINUTES.

HEY.

HEY!

COME HERE.

SERIOUSLY,
COME HERE.

WHAT'S
COURT PROCESS?

YOU DON'T KNOW.

I'VE NEVER OFFICIALLY
BEEN IN COURT.

HUNTER...

HERE, SIT OVER HERE.
WOULD YOU, SWEETIE?

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?

NICE SUIT.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

LAURIE SOLT.

LAURIE SOLT, THIS IS
NOT MY WORLD.

AND I AM NOT ABOUT
TO APOLOGIZE FOR WEARING MY UNIFORM.

YOUR UNIFORM?

LISTEN, YOU PLAY
YOUR ROLE, RIGHT?

YOU'RE A SOCIAL
WORKER WHO CHOOSES TO MAKE NO MONEY.

INSTEAD YOU CRY
POOR TO THE WORLD.

YOU WEAR
CHEAP CLOTHES SO PEOPLE KNOW

WHERE YOU'RE
COMING FROM.

MY WORLD
IS EXPENSIVE.

I'M NOT SAYING
IT'S ANY BETTER.

IT JUST HAS
DIFFERENT RULES. SO BE IT.

WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?

MY PROBLEM IS
I DIDN'T SAY, HEY, YOU LOOK LIKE CRAP,

SO I WOULD
APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD REFRAIN

FROM BEATING ME UP
FOR LOOKING DECENT.

NOW, COULD WE
PLEASE RETURN TO MY INITIAL QUESTION?

COURT PROCEDURE.
CASES CALLED, WITNESSES ARE CALLED.

SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCY
ATTORNEY PUTS ON HER CASE,

PARENTS' ATTORNEY
PUT ON THEIRS.

THE TRUMPETS SOUND,
AND IT'S YOUR TURN.

WHAT DO I DO?

YOU SUMMARIZE
YOUR POSITION

AND STATE YOUR
RECOMMENDATIONS, GOT IT?

SEE YOU IN COURT.

THE CONFERENCE ROOM
IS RIGHT OVER THERE.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD
INTERVIEW YOUR CLIENT.

SAYS YOUR FATHER'S
IN JAIL

AND YOU HAVE
GRANDPARENTS IN THE CITY WHO ARE ON VACATION.

NOW, WHY IS
YOUR DAD IN JAIL?

WHERE'S YOUR MOM?

YOU WANNA LIVE
WITH YOUR GRANDPARENTS?

OK, LET'S JUST
CUT TO IT...

HUNTER.

I'M YOUR LAWYER.
YOU'RE ABOUT TO ENTER A SHELTER HEARING

IN WHICH IT WILL BE DECIDED
WHETHER OR NOT YOU WILL BE REMOVED FROM YOUR HOME.

DO YOU HAVE
ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT?

LISTEN, KID,
I DON'T HAVE THE TIME

TO SIT HERE
AND BEG YOU FOR ANSWERS.

JUDGING FROM THE FORM,
YOUR GRANDPARENTS

IS THE LOGICAL PLACE
FOR YOU TO BE,

SO LET'S JUST TELL THE COURT
TO PLACE YOU THERE

AND GET THIS OVER WITH.

CASE NUMBER 2457.
HUNTER REED.

WHY ARE WE HERE?

THIS IS HUNTER REED,
YOUR HONOR.

YESTERDAY HIS FATHER,
A PROMINENT PLASTIC SURGEON,

ALLEGEDLY KILLED HIS MOTHER
WITH A KITCHEN KNIFE

IN THEIR SHADYSIDE HOME.

WHAT?

WHAT?! WHA--

WHAT?

I'M--NO. NO...

I'M NOT--I'M NOT
SUPPOSED TO BE DEALING WITH THIS.

MR. FALLIN.
TAKE A SEAT, PLEASE, MR. FALLIN.

MR. FALLIN,
TAKE A SEAT, PLEASE! MR. FALLIN!

WHAT'S GOING ON?

I--I DON'T KNOW.

MR. FALLIN!
MR. FALLIN! STOP!

JUDGE WENDLING
ISSUED A CONTINUANCE!

HE'S ORDERED YOU
TO RETURN TO COURT ON FRIDAY!

HE'LL FIND YOU IN CONTEMPT
IF YOU FAIL TO APPEAR!

HEY! ARE YOU
LISTENING TO ME?

WHAT THE HELL
WAS THAT?

WHY DIDN'T YOU
TELL ME?

I DIDN'T KNOW.

YOU DIDN'T KNOW?

MR. FALLIN,
WE GET 50 CASES A DAY.

WHY WAS THAT KID
EVEN THERE?

HIS FATHER
MURDERED HIS MOTHER 24 HOURS AGO,

AND YOU PEOPLE
HAUL HIM IN FOR A FORMALITY?

YOU ARE GONNA BE IN COURT
ON FRIDAY MORNING.

I SUGGEST
YOU MAKE AN APPOINTMENT

TO SEE HUNTER
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

WHERE ARE
HIS GRANDPARENTS?

THEY'RE ON A CRUISE
FROM LONDON TO NEW YORK.

THEY'LL BE BACK
ON THURSDAY MORNING.

GRETCHEN--

CONFERENCE ROOM.
43 MINUTES AGO.

OK.

HE'S HERE.

NICK--
I'M LATE.

NICK! YOUR PROBATION
OFFICERS ARE WAITING AND YOU--

GOOD MORNING,
MR. FALLIN.

IT'S MANDATORY.

STRESSED?

OH, YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

SO WHY DON'T I DRIVE
THIS POINT HOME?

I'D LIKE YOU
TO TURN YOUR ATTENTION TO PAGE 2 OF OUR PROPOSAL,

PARAGRAPH 4 THAT
STARTS WITH "TAX LAWS."

THE CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED,
I THINK, IN SUCH A WAY

TO MAKE IT EXTREMELY CONDUCIVE
TO YOU COMING TO OUR CITY.

NICK!

I JUST WAS EXPLAINING TO
MR. SWANN AND HIS ASSOCIATES

THAT WE FEEL
THE NEW TAX LAWS AND BUILDING REGULATIONS

COULD BE MANIPULATED
TO BENEFIT SWANNTECH

AS LONG AS WE CAN
GET THIS DEAL WITH NETBURGH

CLOSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

GOOD MORNING.

I GAVE THE FORMAL OFFER
TO THE GENTLEMEN AT NETBURGH YESTERDAY.

THEY'RE TAKING IT
INTO SERIOUS CONSIDERATION.

WE SHOULD HAVE
A RESPONSE BY DAY'S END.

NETBURGH
HASN'T RESPONDED?

NOT YET.

THEY'RE A BUNCH
OF 19-YEAR-OLD KIDS

WORKING OUT OF
AN OLD WAREHOUSE. THEY'RE--

TAKE IT
OFF THE TABLE.

UH, EXCUSE ME?

$2 MILLION
WAS MORE THAN A GENEROUS OFFER.

I'M NOT INTERESTED
IN WAITING ANY LONGER

FOR THEIR RESPONSE.

TAKE IT OFF
THE TABLE TODAY,

MAKE AN OFFER
OF A MILLION TOMORROW.

IF THAT'S THE WAY
YOU'D LIKE TO PLAY THIS, THEN SURE.

YES.FINE.

NOW, DO WE
HAVE PERMISSION

FROM THE COUNTY
COMMISSIONER?

NOT EXACTLY.

THE CITY IS CONSIDERING
COVERING INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS IF WE CAN--

WHOA, WHOA,
MR. FALLIN. EVERY DAY WE WAIT,

WE HEMORRHAGE
MORE MONEY.

YES, I UNDERSTAND THAT.
THE COUNTY COMMISSIONER

NEEDS TO SIGN OFF
ON MY BUDGET PROPOSAL--

NO, NO, NO, NO.
WE--WE CANNOT. WE CANNOT CLOSE THIS DEAL.

THESE THINGS TAKE
A LITTLE MASSAGING, MR. SWANN.

IF YOU'D JUST LIKE
TO TAKE A SEAT FOR A SECOND,

I CAN GET
THE COUNTY COMMISSIONER ON THE PHONE RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T KNOW HOW THINGS
WORK IN PITTSBURGH,

BUT WHERE WE COME FROM,
MONEY MATTERS.

MY COMPANY BRINGS IN
$500 MILLION ANNUALLY.

ANY CITY WOULD
BEND OVER TO HAVE US,

LET ALONE SOME MID-SIZED TOWN
WHOSE MAJOR INDUSTRY

UP AND DIED
SOME 20 YEARS AGO.

GENTLEMEN.

NOW, THAT COULDN'T
HAVE GONE BETTER.

NICHOLAS.

MY OFFICE.

DAD?

SIT DOWN.

SON...

DO YOU WANT
TO MAKE PARTNER WITH THIS FIRM...

OR NOT?

NOW, WHAT THE HELL
WAS THAT OUT THERE?

WHY WERE YOU
45 MINUTES LATE?

WHY DIDN'T YOU
GET THAT CONTRACT

TO THE COUNTY
COMMISSIONER?

AND DON'T
EVER EMBARRASS ME

LIKE THAT AGAIN
IN FRONT OF A CLIENT.

THAT GUY'S AN ASS.

HE'S ALSO A CLIENT.

HE HAS A RIGHT
TO EXPECT US

TO GO IN THERE
PREPARED.

ALL RIGHT. PULL
THE NETBURGH OFFER

AND GET OVER
TO THE COUNTY COMMISSIONER

SO YOU CAN
BACK UP THAT CRAP

YOU WERE SPEWING OUT
IN THERE.

YES, SIR.

NICHOLAS.

IF I HAD
YOUR TALENT...

IF I HAD
HALF YOUR TALENT,

I'D HAVE RETIRED...

10 YEARS AGO.

THANK YOU.

THAT'S NOT
A COMPLIMENT.

WHERE ARE WE
ON DUE DILIGENCE?

JUST ABOUT DONE.
WE'VE GOTTA--

INCORPORATION PAPERS?

WORKING ON
THE NOTARY, BUT--

GET ME ANOTHER MEETING
WITH THE NETBURGH KIDS.

RUN A COURT RECORD CHECK
ON A DR. THOMAS REED.

THAT'S 2 Es. SEE
WHAT THAT NAME BRINGS UP.

ANYTHING ELSE?

I DON'T KNOW.
YOU TELL ME.

YOU DON'T
RETURN MY CALLS.

YOU DON'T
MAKE THIS DEAL,

YOU'RE GONNA
LOOK PRETTY STUPID COME ELECTION TIME.

LOOK, THIS DEAL
IS GONNA COST THE CITY

MORE THAN IT BRINGS IN,
AND YOU KNOW THAT.

THEY DON'T WANT
TO PAY CITY TAX,

AND THEY DON'T
WANT TO COVER THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS.

SINCE WESTINGHOUSE
LEFT, YOU HAVE DONE JACK

TO BOOST
THIS CITY'S ECONOMY.

AND DON'T THINK
I WON'T LET IT BE KNOWN

THAT YOUR OFFICE WAS
THE DEAL-BREAKER.

ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL EAT
INFRASTRUCTURE

AND 7 YEARS
OF TAXES.

AFTER THAT,
SO HELP ME GOD--

WE'LL SPEAK
IN 7 YEARS.

CAN I HELP YOU?

HUNTER REED?
I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT.

HEY, HUNTER.

REMEMBER ME?

WE HAVE A SECOND
SHELTER HEARING COMING UP IN A FEW DAYS.

IT'S YOUR CALL.
EITHER YOU LIVE WITH YOUR GRANDPARENTS

OR SOCIAL SERVICES
IS GONNA PUT YOU IN A FOSTER HOME.

WHAT WAS YOUR DEAL?

THAT'S
A LONG STORY.

YOU DON'T WANT
TO BE DOING THIS, DO YOU?

TRUTH BE TOLD,
NO, I DON'T.

THEN WHY ARE YOU?

YOU WANT ANOTHER LAWYER?

DID I SAY THAT?

I GOT SENTENCED
TO COMMUNITY SERVICE FOR BREAKING THE LAW.

WHAT'D YOU DO?

YOU WANT ME TO APOLOGIZE
FOR THE WAY I ACTED?

SOMETHING BAD?

NO.

JUST SOMETHING STUPID.

WHAT?

I GOT ARRESTED
FOR DRUGS, OK?

YOU MIND
IF I SIT DOWN?

MY MOM DIED
WHEN I WAS ABOUT YOUR AGE.

HOW?

CANCER.

DID YOU SEE HER DIE?

I THOUGHT MY DAD
LOVED MY MOM.

WHY WOULD
HE HURT HER?

HE STABBED HER
SO MANY TIMES.

WHY?

WHY?

DR. REED.

MY NAME IS NICHOLAS FALLIN.
I'M YOUR SON'S ATTORNEY.

THERE'S GOING
TO BE A SHELTER HEARING

IN REGARDS
TO HUNTER'S CUSTODY.

I NEED YOU
TO SIGN AN AFFIDAVIT

STATING THAT YOU HAVE BEEN
GIVEN NOTICE OF THE HEARING.

WHERE IS MY SON?

YOUR SON IS IN
A TEMPORARY SHELTER.

WHY?

YOU DON'T KNOW?

I...

DO YOU KNOW
WHY YOU'RE IN HERE?

BECAUSE I'M SUPPOSED
TO SIGN THIS FORM.

YES.

YOU KNOW, NICK,
I HAD TO USE

ALL MY CONTACTS
IN THE PRECINCT TO GET THIS.

DR. THOMAS REED
TRIED TO OFF HIMSELF WHEN HE WAS 24.

GOT A BUNCH OF MORPHINE
FROM THE HOSPITAL WHERE HE WAS INTERNING.

A FRIEND FOUND HIM
BEFORE IT WAS TOO LATE.

PSYCHIATRIC HELP?

6 MONTHS OUTPATIENT
TREATMENT AT WESTERN.

NOTHING ON THE BOOKS
SINCE THEN.

DOCTOR'S NAME
WAS MILTON SAMUELS.

GREAT.

SO, WHAT MADE YOU
DECIDE TO CALL ME?

10 YEARS AGO
YOU TREATED A PATIENT NAMED THOMAS REED.

I'M AFRAID I CAN'T
HELP YOU, MR. FALLIN.

I'VE GOT ALVIN MASTERSON
AND YOUR FATHER HOLDING.

YEAH.

3 YEARS AGO,
ONE SUE PENCE FILED

A MALPRACTICE CLAIM
AGAINST A DR. THOMAS REED.

DR. REED APPARENTLY
SCREWED UP HER FACE LIFT.

OK, BYE.
WHAT HAPPENED?

SETTLED OUT OF COURT.
JUST PRESS TALK.

3 MONTHS LATER,
AMY TAUPIN FILED A SIMILAR SUIT,

ALSO SETTLED OUT OF COURT.
8 MONTHS LATER, ANOTHER SUM.

HEY GUYS! HE'S HERE.

HEY.

SAL SESSIO,
AMANDA HOLTZ.

HI. NICE
TO MEET YOU.

HERE'S THE COUNTER.

COUNTER? WHAT ABOUT
THE FIRST OFFER?

LISTEN, THIS IS
HOW BUSINESS IS DONE.

YOU RECEIVE AN OFFER,
YOU RESPOND TO THAT OFFER.

YOU WAIT TOO LONG,
IT GETS PULLED OFF THE TABLE.

THIS IS LESS.

TRUE.

HALF.

YOU HAVE 24 HOURS, KIDS.
TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.

OK, FIRST OF ALL,
I'M NOT YOUR KID.

OK, SECONDLY,
I CAN MAKE THIS DEAL WITH INTEL

JUST BY PICKING UP
THE PHONE.

THEN PICK IT UP.

I MET WITH HUNTER.

HE ASKED ME TO
PICK UP SOME MORE CLOTHES FOR HIM.

SO?

SO I CAN'T
GO TO HIS HOUSE

WITHOUT SOMEONE FROM
SOCIAL SERVICES.

LAURIE SOLT,
SOCIAL SERVICES.

WE'RE HERE TO PICK UP
SOME CLOTHES FOR THE BOY.

YES, MA'AM. IT'S OK.

SO NORMAN ROCKWELL.

WITH A KNIFE.

"DR. SAMUELS."

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

JUST TOOK A LEAK.

WHAT?

GO.

BINGO.

WHAT'S UP?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

TRYING TO FIND
SOME INFORMATION ON A NEW DRUG.

OH, HERE.

THAT'S IT.

THAT'S IT.
THAT'S IT.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

DID DR. REED
STOP TAKING THE FLUPHENAZINE

BECAUSE
OF HIS TREMOR?

YES.

AND YOU PRESCRIBED
A NON-APPROVED DRUG IN ITS PLACE.

I ENROLLED HIM
IN THE CLINICAL TRIAL.

DR. REED
KNEW OF THE RISKS.

HE WAS DESPERATE
TO FIND THE DRUG

THAT DIDN'T HAVE SUCH
AN ACUTE SIDE EFFECT.

WELL, WHEN DID
THE TRIAL BEGIN?

3 WEEKS AGO.

AND HOW LONG DOES IT
TAKE THE FLUPHENAZINE

TO CLEAR THE SYSTEM?

4 TO 6 WEEKS.

SO IT'S POSSIBLE
THE DRUGS MAY HAVE COUNTERACTED EACH OTHER.

I KNOW ABOUT
THE SCHIZOPHRENIA.

AND THE DRUG TRIALS.

I KNOW ABOUT
THE MALPRACTICE SUITS

AND THE SIDE EFFECTS
OF THE ANTIPSYCHOTIC YOU WERE TAKING.

DID IT EVER OCCUR
TO YOU, DR. REED,

THAT THE FLUPHENAZINE
AND THE NEW DRUG

MAY HAVE COUNTERACTED
ONE ANOTHER...

AND CAUSED YOU
TO ATTACK YOUR WIFE?

IF YOU DON'T
TALK TO YOUR ATTORNEY

ABOUT YOUR
PSYCHIATRIC HISTORY,

YOU'RE GONNA FACE
A LIFE SENTENCE.

NOW, YOU CAN
KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT

AND YOU CAN
LOSE EVERYTHING,

OR YOU CAN
PLEA-BARGAIN YOUR WAY OUT OF THE MURDER CHARGES

ON A CLEAR-CUT
INSANITY DEFENSE

WHILE CONCURRENTLY
FILING A CIVIL SUIT AGAINST THE DRUG COMPANY

THAT WILL
BENEFIT YOUR SON GREATLY.

HOW IS HE?

THE STATE WANTS
TO TAKE HIM AWAY FROM YOU

FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

THREATEN TO KILL
YOURSELF, DR. REED.

THAT'LL BUY US
SOME TIME.

STATE LAW REQUIRES
THAT A SUICIDAL INMATE

BE TRANSFERRED
TO A PSYCHIATRIC WARD.

DO THAT. LET'S REVEAL
YOUR HISTORY

AND YOUR PARTICIPATION
IN THE DRUG TRIALS.

TELL MY SON...

TELL HUNTER I
LOVE HIM VERY MUCH.

MASTERSON'S ON--

JUST A MINUTE.

ALVIN, MR. FALLIN'S
HERE TO SEE YOU.

I RECEIVED A CALL
FROM SOCIAL SERVICES.

SAID YOU WENT
TO THE REED HOUSE TO SNOOP AROUND.

YEAH. I NEEDED
SOME MORE INFORMATION

ABOUT THE EVENTS
THAT TOOK PLACE--

WHAT INFORMATION
COULD YOU POSSIBLY NEED?

THIS BOY'S FATHER IS GONNA
BE CRIMINALLY PROSECUTED

FOR MURDER.
HIS MOTHER'S DEAD.

THE GRANDPARENTS
ARE PERFECTLY SUITABLE GUARDIANS.

I DISCOVERED
SOME THINGS

THAT COULD CHANGE
THE OUTCOME OF--

I DID NOT TELL YOU
TO INVESTIGATE A MURDER.

I TOLD YOU TO
ADVOCATE FOR A CHILD.

HANG ON A SECOND.

I THOUGHT THAT I WAS--WELL, DON'T!

JUST FOLLOW MY RULES, OK?

WHAT IF YOUR RULES
ARE WRONG?

LOOK, I DIDN'T
ASK FOR YOU.

I'M DOING YOU A FAVOR
BECAUSE I RESPECT YOUR FATHER,

A MAN WHO WAS CLEARLY
10 TIMES THE LAWYER YOU ARE.

NOW, IF YOU PREFER
TO RETURN TO JUDGE STANTON,

EXPLORE YOUR OTHER OPTION,
WHICH I UNDERSTOOD TO BE JAIL TIME,

THEN YOU MAY.

BUT KNOW ONE THING.

AS LONG AS
I ACT AS YOUR WARDEN

AND YOU ARE
SERVING YOUR TIME IN MY FACILITY,

YOU WILL DO THINGS
MY WAY,

OR I WILL SEND YOU BACK
FASTER THAN IT USED TO TAKE YOU

TO SNORT AN 8-BALL.
GOT IT?

YOU EVER THINK
YOU HEAR SOMETHING

THAT YOU DIDN'T
REALLY HEAR?

LIKE A NOISE AT NIGHT?

LIKE A NOISE, OR SOMEONE
CALLING YOUR NAME?

YEAH, I GUESS.

SOME PEOPLE
HAVE A SICKNESS,

A DISEASE CALLED
SCHIZOPHRENIA

THAT CAN MAKE THEM
HEAR VOICES LIKE THAT.

AND THE VOICES
CAN MAKE THEM VERY AFRAID OF PEOPLE.

SO AFRAID,
THEY DO TERRIBLE THINGS.

IS THAT WHAT'S WRONG
WITH MY DAD?

YES.

WELL,
IF HE WAS SICK,

WHY DIDN'T HE
SEE A DOCTOR?

HE DID, BUT
THE DOCTOR GAVE HIM

THE WRONG
MEDICATION.

IS THAT WHY?

I THINK SO.

WELL, DOES HE HAVE
THE RIGHT MEDICINE NOW?

YES.

SO HE'LL BE BETTER,
AND I CAN GO BACK HOME?

IT MAY NOT
BE THAT EASY.

IF HE CAN GET BETTER,
I WANT TO BE WITH HIM.

THERE'S CLEARLY
A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR VERDICT IN THIS CASE.

AND YOU'RE
GIVING THIS TO ME?

NO, NO. WE'RE
SHARING IT.

I CAN'T HANDLE
THE CASE RIGHT NOW.

I'M A WITNESS. I'M
REPRESENTING THE CHILD

WHO MAY BECOME
AN ADVERSE PARTY

IF RECONCILIATION
DOESN'T TAKE PLACE.

SO YOU WANT ME
TO BUST MY BALLS

WHILE YOU GET
THE LION'S SHARE OF THE MONEY.

NO, IT'S A CONFLICT.

DR. REED IS THE BENEFICIARY
OF HIS WIFE'S ESTATE,

BUT HE'S BEING
CRIMINALLY PROSECUTED FOR HER DEATH.

THE WIFE'S ESTATE
THEN SWITCHES TO HUNTER,

WHO CAN'T DO ANYTHING
OF HIS OWN FREE WILL BECAUSE HE'S A MINOR.

SO WHOEVER IS THE GUARDIAN,

EITHER THE FATHER
OR THE GRANDPARENTS,

THEY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR FILING THE SUIT.

SO, THE FATHER
SUES THE DOCTOR FOR MALPRACTICE,

THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY
FOR PRODUCT LIABILITY,

AND COLLECTS
FOR THE SON'S SUFFERING

ALL BECAUSE
HE KILLED HIS OWN WIFE?

EXACTLY.

LEAVE IT TO YOU
TO TURN PRO BONO INTO PROFIT.

I JUST SPOKE
TO SWANN.

IF HE DOESN'T SEE
THE COMPLETED PAPERWORK

BY TOMORROW MORNING,
HE IS PULLING OUT.

ALTOGETHER.

TEA?

UH, MOM, MOM. MOM!

OK, YOU PROMISED US
TWICE THE MONEY AND STOCK OPTIONS.

OK, LISTEN TO ME.

YOU GET AN OFFER, YOU
RESPOND TO THAT OFFER.

YOU WAIT TOO LONG,
IT GETS PULLED OFF THE TABLE.

OK, I UNDERSTAND THAT,
BUT I PROMISED EVERYONE MORE.

THAT'S OUR OFFER.

I--I DON'T WANT IT,
THEN. I CAN'T.

OK.
OK?

EXCUSE ME.

MISTER?

MISTER?

MOM. MOM!PLEASE, MISTER.

HE'S JUST YOUNG.
HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT MONEY IS.

HE'S JUST YOUNG.
WE NEED THE MONEY.

I CAN'T PAY FOR
HIS SCHOOL ANYMORE.

WE USED TO HAVE AN UNCLE.
HE WAS HELPING, BUT HE--

WHAT'S IT GONNA BE?

1.8.

1.5.

20,000 SHARES.

1.5, 15,000 SHARES.

AND AN APARTMENT
IN BUDAPEST

FOR MY MOTHER'S FAMILY.

OK.

YES! WHOO! HA HA!

HOO-HOO! YES.

WHOO-HOO!OH, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!

NEED SOME HELP?

YOU'RE KISSING
THE WRONG ASS.

SO, WHAT'S IT LIKE?

WHAT?

CHILDREN'S LEGAL SERVICES.

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU'RE SPENDING
A LOT OF TIME THERE.

IT'S A STEEP
LEARNING CURVE.

DO YOU FEEL
LIKE YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING MEANINGFUL?

I FEEL LIKE
I'M SERVING MY SENTENCE.

THIS IS MEANINGFUL.

THIS IS ABOUT MONEY.

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

I DON'T KNOW.

IF I HADN'T RUN UP
SUCH HUGE SCHOOL LOANS,

I'D BE WORKING
IN PUBLIC SERVICE.

WHAT?

I THINK YOU'RE A SHARK.
YOU JUST DON'T KNOW IT YET.

MY FATHER ALWAYS TOLD ME
NOT TO WORRY ABOUT MAKING MONEY,

BUT TO WORRY ABOUT
MAKING A DIFFERENCE.

WELL, MONEY
MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

BELIEVE ME.

ALL THE MAN-HOURS
SCRAPING AROUND FOR MINIMUM WAGE,

THEY CAN'T COMPETE
WITH THE HUGE INFLUX OF MONEY

THAT YOU ARE
CAPABLE OF GENERATING.

MAKE THE MONEY FIRST,

THEN IF YOU
STILL FEEL LIKE IT,

THEN GO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

I THINK YOU'RE
PUTTING ON AN ACT.

I SHOULD GET
THESE COPIES MADE.

HELLO?

NICK, IT'S JAMES.

THOMAS REED THREATENED
TO KILL HIMSELF LAST NIGHT.

THEY JUST MOVED HIM
TO WESTERN.

THANK YOU. THANKS.

I'VE MET THE GRANDPARENTS
IN QUESTION.

SOCIAL SERVICES
CONSIDERS THEM

TO BE AN APPROPRIATE
PLACEMENT FOR THE CHILD.

UNLESS THERE
ARE ANY OBJECTIONS,

I WILL GRANT
PERMANENT CUSTODY

TO PHYLLIS
AND DONALD SAMPLE,

HUNTER'S
MATERNAL GRANDPARENTS.

BAILIFF, WHAT'S
THE NEXT CASE ON THE DOCKET?

YOUR HONOR.

YES, MR. FALLIN?

MY CLIENT WOULD LIKE
TO GO BACK TO HIS FATHER.

YOUR HONOR, HUNTER
CAN'T JUST SIT IN LIMBO FOR THE NEXT YEAR

AWAITING THE OUTCOME
OF A CLEAR-CUT CRIMINAL CASE.

YOU ARE AWARE, MR. FALLIN,
THAT YOUR CLIENT'S FATHER

HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH MURDER?

I UNDERSTAND
THAT AT THE MOMENT,

DR. REED IS
IN NO POSITION TO TAKE CUSTODY.

HOWEVER,
IF BY SOME CHANCE

DR. REED IS CLEARED
OF CRIMINAL CHARGES

AND REHABILITATED,

WOULDN'T IT BE POSSIBLE
THAT HUNTER MIGHT RETURN HOME?

YES, IT'S POSSIBLE.

YOUR HONOR,
THIS IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL.

I UNDERSTAND.
I ONLY ASK

THAT THE GRANDPARENTS'
CUSTODY BE REPRESENTED AS TEMPORARY,

PENDING
THE CRIMINAL TRIAL.

YOUR HONOR,
THE GRANDPAR--

I AM SIMPLY REPRESENTING
MY CLIENT'S DESIRE

TO BE GIVEN THE CHANCE
TO BE REUNITED WITH HIS FATHER

SHOULD THE COURT
DEEM IT APPROPRIATE.

HE JUST WANTS
THE CHANCE, YOUR HONOR.

OK, MR. FALLIN.

I WILL GRANT
TEMPORARY CUSTODY

PENDING THE OUTCOME OF
DR. REED'S CRIMINAL TRIAL.

GRETCHEN--
CONFERENCE ROOM, 18 MINUTES AGO.

YOU HAD NO AUTHORITY
TO MAKE THIS KIND OF DEAL.

THEY DROVE
A HARD BARGAIN.

YOU HAD NO AUTHORITY.

WHERE I COME FROM,
MONEY MATTERS.

WHAT WAS THAT?

YOU'RE PASSING UP
AN INCREDIBLE DEAL

ALL FOR THE SAKE
OF YOUR ENORMOUS EGO.

MY EGO?

OUR LITTLE TOWN
IS WILLING

TO EAT YOUR
INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS

AND GIVE YOU
7 YEARS LIVING OFF THE FAT OF OUR LAND.

ALL IN ALL,
I JUST DID A DEAL

WORTH NEARLY
$20 MILLION TO YOU OVER THE NEXT HALF DECADE,

AND YOU'RE SWEATING
OVER CASH AND STOCK OPTIONS

WORTH A TENTH OF THAT.

AND WILL THE CITY
BUILD US AN OFFRAMP

FROM THE PARKWAY?YES.

BUILDING PERMITS
FOR THE PARKING STRUCTURE?

YES.

WE'LL MOVE IN AFTER
THE FIRST OF THE YEAR.

IT'S AN HONOR TO HAVE
YOUR BUSINESS.

ANXIOUS TO GET
TO WORK.

TERRIFIC.

GOOD GOING.

THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. PLEASURE.

UH, THAT APARTMENT
IN BUDAPEST?

YEAH.

NICHOLAS.

MY OFFICE.

I KNOW THAT WAS
A LITTLE UNCONVENTIONAL.

LOOK ME IN THE EYE,
NICHOLAS.

WE GOT THE ACCOUNT.

THIS IS NOT THE TIME
TO APOLOGIZE.

I'LL GET YOU
IN A MINUTE.

IT WORKED.

THE STATE HAS AGREED
TO CALL THE CUSTODY TEMPORARY.

THERE'S STILL A CHANCE
TO BE WITH YOUR SON.

DR. REED?

I LOVE MY SON MORE THAN
ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD, MR. FALLIN.

I'LL...
I'LL PLEAD INSANITY.

I'LL SUE
THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY

TO PROVIDE FOR HUNTER.

BUT I CAN'T BE
HIS FATHER ANYMORE.

HE'S YOUR SON.

I KILLED HIS MOTHER.

I KNOW WHAT I DID.
I KNOW NOW.

I DID THAT...

AND HE SAW.

HE WANTS TO FORGIVE YOU.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

WELL,
I WOULDN'T JUST WALK AWAY.

IF I HAD A SON LIKE THAT,

I WOULDN'T GIVE UP
THE CHANCE TO KNOW HIM,

TO HAVE HIM KNOW ME.

SEE...

I CAN'T.

I CAN'T.

I'M SORRY.

I'M NOT GOING AWAY,
DR. REED.

TAKE CARE OF HUNTER
FOR ME.

HE'S JUST NOT READY YET.

WHY NOT?

HE JUST NEEDS
SOME TIME, HUNTER.

HE NEEDS SOME TIME.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

NO.

I'M SORRY.

I'M SORRY.
