[WOMAN LAUGHS]

I STILL CAN'T GET OVER
YOU IN A SUIT, NICK.

YOU, OF ALL PEOPLE.

I REMEMBER
WHEN WE WERE LITTLE

AND YOU STARTED
TO DRESS YOURSELF.

YOU ALWAYS
WORE YOUR SHIRT

INSIDE OUT
AND BACKWARDS.

WELL,
I GUESS THAT'S BETTER

THAN FORGETTING
TO WEAR MY UNDERWEAR.

I ONLY DID THAT
WHEN I CAME OVER TO YOUR HOUSE, NICK.

[CHUCKLES]

WHY ARE YOU HERE, RACHEL?

WHEN MY BROTHER
CHARLIE AND I STARTED

AT MY FATHER'S
COMPANY,

HE PLACED US
AT THE HEAD OF EACH DIVISION.

YEAH.

I STARTED
THE SEMI-CONDUCTOR DIVISION

TO DEAL
WITH THE AUTOMATED SHIPPING, TRACKING,

AND TO HELP
THE COMPANY EXPAND

TO THE SOUTHERN
STATES AND MIDWEST.

CHARLIE SOLD
THE SAME OLD LINE:

PAPER AND PACKAGING.

MY FATHER CALLED ME
INTO HIS OFFICE LAST MONTH

TO TELL ME THAT
HE WAS GONNA PROMOTE

MY BROTHER OVER ME.

WELL, HE'S JUST
PASSED YOU OVER.

HE SAID IT MADE
SENSE FOR ME

TO STAY AT HOME
AND TAKE CARE OF MY KIDS.

HE DIDN'T
OFFICIALLY FIRE YOU.

NO.

NO, HE JUST
PASSED YOU OVER.

HE'LL DO
THE RIGHT THING BY YOU.

NICK,
I'M GONNA TAKE--

NICHOLAS?

HELLO.
RACHEL!

HOW ARE YOU DOING?
WHAT A NICE SURPRISE.

OHH.
HOW ARE YOU, SWEETIE?

I'M FINE,
BURTON.

GOSH, YOU LOOK--
WHAT BRINGS YOU OVER HERE?

NOTHING, REALLY.
I JUST CAME OVER TO SAY HELLO.

Burton: YEAH?

YEAH.
WELL, GREAT.

LISTEN,
I HATE TO INTERRUPT,

BUT I DO NEED NICHOLAS
IN A MEETING.

OF COURSE.

WOULD YOU LIKE
TO HAVE LUNCH?

YEAH.

OK.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.
TAKE CARE.

BYE.
OK, BYE-BYE.

[DOOR CLOSES]

WE DON'T HAVE A MEETING.

NO.

I JUST GOT A CALL
FROM HER DAD.

YEAH?

RACHEL IS MOUNTING
A PROXY FIGHT.

RACHEL?

SHE WANTS TO
TAKE OVER THE COMPANY.

NICK?

NICK, THIS IS
SUMMER AND LAWRENCE NEAL.

THEY'VE BEEN WAITING
FOR YOU FOR OVER AN HOUR.

SORRY.

LAWRENCE'S PETITION HEARING'S
COMING UP THIS WEEK.

YOU'LL BE REPRESENTING HIM.

SOCIAL SERVICES
WANTS TO PUT HIM

IN A STATE HOME
FOR DISABLED CHILDREN.

WHY DON'T YOU COME
WITH ME, LAWRENCE?

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

THIS WON'T BE LONG.

THANKS.

WHY ARE YOU HAVING
A SHELTER HEARING?

YOUR MOTHER SEEMS
PERFECTLY NORMAL.

MY MOTHER'S
GOING TO JAIL.

WHAT DID SHE DO?

YOU KNOW HOW SOME MEN
DON'T HAVE A GIRLFRIEND?

THEY PAY MY MOM
TO BE THEIRS.

Judge: I AM SENTENCING YOU

TO 1,500 HOURS
OF COMMUNITY SERVICE--

USING YOUR SKILLS
AS A CORPORATE ATTORNEY

TO WORK AS A CHILD ADVOCATE.

SHE'S A PROSTITUTE?

SHE THINKS IT SHOULDN'T
EVEN BE A CRIME.

WELL, IT IS.

Lawrence: I KNOW THAT.

WHERE DO YOU WANT
TO BE PLACED, LAWRENCE?

I WANT TO LIVE
WITH MY STEP-FATHER.

OK.

BUT THERE'S THIS WOMAN
FROM THE GOVERNMENT,

HER NAME IS LAURIE.
MM-HMM.

SHE WANTS TO PUT ME
IN A SPECIAL NEEDS HOME.

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT THAT MEANS?

WELL, THEY'RE FACILITIES
WITH ACCOMMODATIONS

THAT SERVICES
WHEELCHAIRS--

SPECIAL NEEDS MEANS
RETARDS AND PSYCHOS.

ALL DAY IT'S GONNA BE,
"A YAM WE TALL DID."

I GOT NEUROFIBROMATOSIS.

IT'S A KIND OF TUMOR
THAT GREW TOO BIG

AND HURT MY SPINE.

SO I HAVE TO BE
IN A WHEELCHAIR.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT,
I'M TOTALLY NORMAL.

JUST A MINUTE.

LAURIE.
MISS SOLT.

YES, MR. FALLIN?

LAWRENCE NEAL. WHAT'S
YOUR RECOMMENDATION?

THE RILEY CENTER.

HE WANTS TO STAY
WITH HIS STEPFATHER.

HIS STEPFATHER HAS
A CRIMINAL RECORD.

WHAT DID HE DO?

ASSAULT AND BATTERY.
SERVED 2 YEARS.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HIM.
HE'S A GOOD FATHER.

WHERE WAS HE LAST YEAR
WHEN YOU WERE ARRESTED FOR SOLICITATION

AND YOUR SON WAS
LEFT ALONE FOR 2 DAYS?

HE WAS WORKING!
AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN HOME IF I--

IF YOU HADN'T BEEN
OUT BREAKING THE LAW.

THERE'S NO WAY
I'M GONNA CHANGE

THIS RECOMMENDATION,
MR. FALLIN.

THE STEPFATHER
HAS BEEN BASICALLY

PIMPING THE MOTHER
FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

AND THE HOUSE ISN'T EQUIPPED
FOR A SPECIAL NEEDS KID.

I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO CHANGE
YOUR RECOMMENDATION, MS. SOLT.

I CAN'T PROMISE YOU
ANYTHING, LAWRENCE.

BUT YOU'LL LOOK
INTO IT, RIGHT?

YES, I'LL LOOK INTO IT.

JUST COME OVER
TO MY HOUSE.

YOU'LL SEE.

IT'S A LOT BETTER
THAN WHAT SHE SAYS.

OK.

WE CAN'T TALK BUSINESS.

WHAT'S GOOD HERE?

YOU HAVE TO STOP THIS THING

BEFORE IT TURNS
INTO A DISASTER.

WE'RE NOT TALKING
BUSINESS.

[SIGHS] SO, NICK,

ARE YOU HAPPY
WORKING FOR YOUR FATHER?

DO YOU THINK
HE JUDGES YOU DIFFERENTLY

THAN ANYONE ELSE
IN THE FIRM?

WHAT IF HE NEVER
MADE YOU PARTNER?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

YOUR FATHER
GIVES YOU FREE REIN,

HE TREATS YOU VERY WELL.

I'M DIVORCING ALAN.

WE SEPARATED
ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO.

MY FATHER
DOESN'T KNOW.

WHAT ABOUT THE KIDS?

THEY'RE WITH HIM

UNTIL I GET THIS
ALL TAKEN CARE OF.

YOU'RE JUDGING ME.

NO, I'M NOT.

I'M A GOOD MOTHER,
NICK.

I'M VERY GOOD
AT WHAT I DO.

I UNDERSTAND THAT.

WHY AM I THE VILLAIN
IN ALL THIS?

CHARLIE
HAS NO IMAGINATION.

HE DOESN'T
WANT TO BUILD THE COMPANY.

IF WE DID IT
HIS WAY,

WE'D BE DEAD
IN A DECADE.

YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT.

NICK,
DON'T OPPOSE ME.

I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

MRS. NEAL?

LAWRENCE TOLD ME
THAT YOU'RE GONNA

HELP HIM
STAY WITH JERRY.

NO. I TOLD HIM
I'D TAKE A LOOK AT THE HOUSE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK,
MR. FALLIN?

I DON'T THINK THAT ANY JUDGE
IS GONNA PLACE YOUR SON

WITH YOUR CURRENT HUSBAND.

WHY NOT?

MRS. NEAL,

YOUR HUSBAND SERVED TIME
FOR ASSAULT AND BATTERY.

LAWRENCE
DOESN'T DESERVE TO GO TO A STATE HOME.

NO, HE DOESN'T.

ON FRIDAY,
I GO TO JAIL FOR NEARLY 2 YEARS.

IF YOU'RE
NOT GONNA HELP,

I'LL TAKE
WHAT LITTLE MONEY I HAVE LEFT

AND PAY SOMEONE
WHO WILL.

LISTEN, I'M GONNA REPRESENT
YOUR SON'S WISHES IN COURT,

BUT I STRONGLY RECOMMEND
YOU PREPARE HIM

TO GO TO THE RILEY CENTER.

HA HA HA!

HA HA HA!

WHEN DID YOU REALIZE
YOU WERE GONNA DIE?

I CAN REMEMBER
WHEN IT HIT ME.

MY KIDS WEREN'T
EVEN TEENAGERS YET.

DRIVING HOME
FROM SEVEN SPRINGS.

ICY ROADS,
CADILLAC HIT A PATCH,

WHOOSH, 360.
I WASN'T THINKING ABOUT ANYTHING,

BUT WHAT IF MY HEAD
HIT THE DASHBOARD,

YOU KNOW?
FIRST THING I DID,

INCORPORATED AND NAMED
MY KIDS AS SHAREHOLDERS.

YOU DID
THE RIGHT THING, BART,

FOR THE RIGHT REASON.

RACHEL'S PREPARED
A PROXY OFFER

WITH OWENS-HILLER,

A FANCY HEDGE FUND
THAT'S ACQUIRED 1/3 OF THE COMPANY STOCK.

WHY DO THEY WANT
TO BACK RACHEL?

THEY'VE BEEN PRETTY VOCAL
ABOUT THE DIRECTION

IN WHICH I'VE TAKEN
MY COMPANY.

WHAT DID RACHEL
PROMISE THEM?

SHE PROMISED TO SPIN OFF
THE SEMI-CONDUCTOR DIVISION

INTO A SEPARATE CORPORATION.

SO OWENS-HILLER GETS
2 SETS OF SHARES INSTEAD OF ONE.

CLEARLY, SOME WALL STREET
ANALYST BELIEVES

THAT THE STOCK WILL DOUBLE
AS SOON AS IT'S UNLEASHED.

WHAT DO YOU THINK,
BART?

SHORT-TERM GAIN,
LONG-TERM DISASTER.

Nick: AND WHAT
DOES RACHEL GET?

MY JOB.

OK.

NEAL, GERALD T.

PAROLED MARCH OF '99,
CAME TO ME APRIL '99,

HAS SENT IN THE POSTCARD
EVERY MONTH.

HE'S WORKING,
2 JOBS IN FACT.

NO PROBLEMS TO SPEAK OF.

HE WAS ARRESTED
FOR ASSAULT AND BATTERY, RIGHT?

HE PLED OUT.

WHO WAS THE VICTIM?

COMMITTED BATTERY
ON HIS STEPFATHER,

HE ASSAULTED
HIS MOTHER.

HIS MOTHER?

THAT'S WHAT
IT SAYS HERE.

AND YOU SAY HE WANTS
TO ADOPT YOUR CLIENT?

YOU'VE DISCOVERED
THE C.L.S. FILING SYSTEM.

I'M WORKING WITH THIS KID,
LAWRENCE NEAL.

THE ONLY NEAL
IN THIS CABINET

IS IN 1991.

CHECK UNDER MOTHER'S
MAIDEN NAME,

PAPLACZYK.

[BANG]

NO CHARGE.

JERRY NEAL WAS
IN THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM HIMSELF.

SO WAS HIS SISTER.

CAN I TAKE THIS?

JUST MAKE SURE
YOU PUT IT BACK WHERE YOU FOUND IT.

SURE.

[BANG]

ALL FINISHED?

OK, THANKS.

ARE YOU JERRY NEAL'S
SISTER?

YEAH.

THEY WANTED ME
TO TESTIFY

AT HIS TRIAL,
BUT I WAS SCARED.

SCARED OF JERRY?

JERRY? NO.

IT WAS MY MOTHER'S
BOYFRIEND

THAT
I WAS AFRAID OF.

I WAS GONNA TESTIFY
FOR JERRY,

NOT AGAINST HIM.

HE HIT YOUR MOTHER.

HE DIDN'T
HIT MY MOM.

ALL HE DID
WAS BLOCK HER

AND GIVE HER DAMNED
BOYFRIEND A BEATING.

HAS JERRY TOLD YOU
ABOUT THEM YET?

NO.

MY MOM DATED
THIS GUY, ROSS.

HE DID THIS TO ME.

AND A LOT OF OTHER
REALLY FUN STUFF.

UM, BUT MY MOM
NEVER BELIEVED ME.

AND I'D CALL JERRY.
HE WAS OLDER

AND WAS ALREADY
LIVING ON HIS OWN,

SO HE WOULD JUST
COME OVER AND GIVE ROSS THE WHAT-FOR,

WHICH, OF COURSE,
ROSS DIDN'T LIKE.

SO MOM DOESN'T
BELIEVE ME,

THE COPS DON'T
BELIEVE ME,

BUT JERRY...

HE DOES.

AND, UH, I COULD
CALL HIM AND HE'D COME RIGHT OVER

NO MATTER
WHAT HE WAS DOING.

UNTIL, YOU KNOW,
ONE DAY

HE GOT A LITTLE
CARRIED AWAY

AND THE COPS
SHOWED UP.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TESTIFY?

I DON'T KNOW.

I GUESS BECAUSE
I HAD TO LIVE WITH MY MOM.

I LET JERRY DOWN
BECAUSE I WAS SCARED.

[SIGHS]

I SPOKE
TO JERRY NEAL'S SISTER.

SHE HAS A VERY
DIFFERENT TAKE ON WHAT HAPPENED

WHEN JERRY
WAS ARRESTED.

SHE'S WILLING
TO TESTIFY ON HIS BEHALF.

LET'S JUST SAY
FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT

THAT THIS JERRY
IS A STAND-UP GUY.

THE HOUSE IS STILL
NOT WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE.

THE BOY CAN'T
USE THE TOILET, BATHE HIMSELF,

OR PREPARE A MEAL
WITHOUT ASSISTANCE.

[UNZIPS BAG]

WHAT'S THAT?

I'M ASKING SOCIAL SERVICES
TO PAY TO MODIFY THE HOUSE

FOR LAWRENCE'S NEEDS.

WE HAVE A VERY
LIMITED BUDGET, MR. FALLIN.

DON'T ASK US
TO SPEND IT FRIVOLOUSLY.

IT WILL KEEP
THE FAMILY TOGETHER.

I'M NOT CHANGING
MY RECOMMENDATION.

TAKE IT.

I'VE SEEN
WHAT CAN HAPPEN

WHEN A PLACEMENT
GOES BAD.

THE HOUSE ISN'T
THE ISSUE HERE, IS IT?

LAWRENCE
IS A GOOD KID.

WE'LL KEEP HIM
IN THE SAME SCHOOL,

JERRY WILL
HAVE GENEROUS VISITATION RIGHTS,

BUT THE RILEY CENTER
WILL OFFER STABILITY.

AND NO ONE
AT THE RILEY CENTER

EVER HIT
A FAMILY MEMBER.

16 FORTUNE 1,000 BUSINESSES
OPENED OPERATIONS

IN PITTSBURGH
THIS FISCAL YEAR.

OF THOSE 16,

2 CHOSE TO USE THIS FIRM.

2.

9 WENT TO KIRK AND McGEE.

NICK, THIS IS
A PARTNERS MEETING.

CAN IT WAIT?

I'LL BE
IN YOUR OFFICE.

[DOOR CLOSES]

NOW, BILLABLE HOURS
DOWN 30%.

YOU TELL LAURIE SOLT
I'LL BE LATE.

YEAH, I--
I KNOW WHAT TIME

THE HEARING
IS SCHEDULED FOR.

I HAVE TO MEET
WITH ANOTHER CLIENT FIRST.

NO. NO, I--
NO, I CAN'T BE THERE UNTIL 4:00, OK?

OK.
[HANGS UP PHONE]

SO, LISTEN--

OK, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

IT'S ABOUT RACHEL
AND BART.

I HAD THIS IDEA
ABOUT A STAGGERED BOARD PROVISION.

I THOUGHT IF WE COULD
DRAFT A BYLAW AMENDMENT

PROVIDING THAT ONLY
2 DIRECTORS BE ELECTED PER YEAR--

IT MAKES US
LOOK WEAK.

OR SMART.

SEE, THIS WAY,
EVEN IF RACHEL WINS,

SHE WON'T GAIN
A MAJORITY.

NO! IT SENDS
THE WRONG MESSAGE.

IT ALIENATES
WALL STREET.

IT'S BAD
FOR THE STOCK.

WELL, IT WON'T
BE AS BLOODY.

WAIT A MINUTE.
LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.

YOU BARGED INTO
A PARTNER MEETING

TO TELL ME THIS?

I WAS LATE
FOR AN APPOINTMENT.

COMMUNITY SERVICE.
YES.

WELL,
WHEN ARE YOU GONNA GET CONTROL OF THAT?

I THINK I HAVE IT--
I DON'T THINK SO!

I SEE YOU RUNNING
IN AND OUT OF HERE EVERY DAY,

YOUR WORK
IS FALLING OFF.

I DON'T THINK IT IS.

I'M TELLING YOU
IT IS.

YOUR BILLABLE HOURS
ARE WAY DOWN.

THESE CASES,
I CAN'T JUST PHONE THEM IN.

I UNDERSTAND THAT,
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO FIND A WAY

NOT TO LET THEM
PULL YOU UNDER.

IT'S NOT PULLING ME UNDER.
I JUST DO THEM.

NICHOLAS...

LOOK, JUST BECAUSE
YOU'RE MY SON

DOESN'T MEAN
YOU'RE GONNA GET

SPECIAL TREATMENT
AROUND HERE.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT?

I--
UNDERSTAND THAT?

I'M GONNA FIGURE OUT
ANOTHER ANGLE ON THIS PROXY ISSUE.

NICK.

I'M SORRY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S BOTHERING ME.

I...

[DOOR CLOSES]

Nick: I SPOKE
WITH YOUR SISTER.

SHE'S WILLING
TO TESTIFY ON YOUR BEHALF.

WILL THAT HELP?

IT'LL INCREASE
YOUR CHANCES.

YOU STILL
HAVE TO PROVE

THAT YOU CAN TAKE
CARE OF LAWRENCE

WITHOUT SUMMER.

I CAN.

YOUR HOUSE
ISN'T UP TO CODE.

YOU'RE WORKING
2 JOBS.

SO I'LL QUIT ONE.

THEN HOW WILL YOU
BE ABLE TO AFFORD

TO TAKE CARE
OF LAWRENCE?

HEY, WE'LL MANAGE.

UNFORTUNATELY,
THAT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR THE COURT.

WHY CAN'T THEY
JUST LEAVE US ALONE?

HAVE YOU BEEN OUT
TO SEE THE RILEY CENTER?

NO.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD.

JUST TAKE A LOOK.

Center director:
WE HAVE 2 HOT MEALS DAILY,

3 ON WEEKENDS.

2 HANDI-VANS
ARE AVAILABLE,

AND YOU'LL HAVE
YOUR OWN ROOM.

DO YOU HAVE
ANY QUESTIONS, LAWRENCE?

YEAH, DO YOU HAVE
ANY VIDEO GAMES?

WE HAVE
THE FULL COMPLEMENT

OF REHABILITATIVE
TOYS.

YOU CAN'T REHABILITATE ME.
THIS IS HOW I AM.

FOREVER.

Teacher: KIKI,
TODAY WE'RE GONNA DRAW

ABOUT WONDERFUL THINGS
THAT YOU DID THIS SUMMER.

WHAT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL
THING? THINK IN YOUR MIND.

WHAT IS THE MOST WONDERFUL
THING THAT YOU DID THIS SUMMER?

DO YOU REMEMBER?

Kiki: NO.

Teacher: WHO TAUGHT YOU?

YOU THINK
I'M A KINDERGARTNER?

UH, WE HAVE CHESS
AND CHECKERS.

YEAH, IT'LL BE REAL FUN
PLAYING WITH THEM.

BE RESPECTFUL,
PLEASE.

HOW COME JUST BECAUSE
I'M IN A WHEELCHAIR,

I GET STUCK
WITH KIDS LIKE THIS?

THEY'RE JUST
TRYING TO HELP.

HE DOESN'T
BELONG HERE, MAN.

SO IT'S THE MONEY,
ISN'T IT?

IT'S NOT THE MONEY,
IT'S THE PACKAGE.

YEAH, BUT
IF I HAD THE MONEY

TO DO THE UPGRADE
ON THE HOUSE

AND DIDN'T HAVE
TO WORK THE SECOND JOB--

MAYBE IT MIGHT HELP.

IT'S THE MONEY.

WHAT ABOUT
THE BIOLOGICAL FATHER?

IS CHILD SUPPORT
A POSSIBILITY?

HE'S DEAD.
HE'S BEEN DEAD FOR YEARS.

HEY.

LAWRENCE SAYS HE THINKS
HE KNOWS WHO THE FATHER IS.

HE'S ALIVE?

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT. MEET ME
AT THE CLINIC TOMORROW, 11 A.M.

IT'S HER DAY BOOK.

HE WAS A CLIENT.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

I HEARD HER
SAY IT ONCE.

I HAVE THE LIST,
ALL HER CLIENTS

FROM THE YEAR
BEFORE I WAS BORN.

SHE WAS PRETTY,
WASN'T SHE?

YEAH.

IT'S JUST INITIALS
AND PHONE NUMBERS.

I HAD TO FIND
A 1989 PHONE BOOK,

THEN MATCH
THE NUMBERS TO THE NAMES.

THEN I NARROWED IT
DOWN TO 22.

[SOFTLY]
ARE YOU POSITIVE YOU WANT TO PUT HIM THROUGH THIS?

I'M WILLING TO TRY
IF HE IS.

YOU REALLY
WANT TO DO THIS?

IF YOU'RE NOT
GONNA COME WITH ME,

I'LL JUST GO
BY MYSELF.

MR. ODET?

YEAH?

I'M NICHOLAS FALLIN.

THIS IS LAWRENCE NEAL.

Odet: AND?

I'M HERE TO ASK YOU
SOME QUESTIONS

ABOUT SEPTEMBER
OF 1989.

WHAT ARE YOU, A COP?

NO. I'M THE GUARDIAN
FOR THIS BOY.

SEPTEMBER '89,

I WAS FIXING
APPLIANCES.

YOU MAY HAVE HAD A DATE
WITH A WOMAN

BY THE NAME
OF SUMMER NEAL.

OH, I, UH--
I DON'T GO ON DATES.

[UNZIPS BAG]

NO.

OH.

YEAH, WE--WE HAD
AN ARRANGEMENT.

WHAT ABOUT IT?

SHE GOT PREGNANT.

THIS IS HER SON.

DO YOU WANT
TO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR MOTHER?

OK.

YOUR MOTHER...

IS A WHORE.

Odet: HA HA HA!
Nick: OK, LET'S GO.

LET'S GO.

THAT WOULD MAKE YOU
A SON OF A WHORE!

HA HA HA!

[GASPS]

DON'T TALK THAT WAY
ABOUT MY FAMILY.

JERRY! JERRY, NO!
JERRY, NO, NO.

Nick:
YOU'RE OUT OF CONTROL.

GUY HAD IT
COMING.

LIKE YOUR STEPFATHER?

YOU GOT
A COUPLE OF CHOICES AS I SEE IT.

MAKE THINGS RIGHT,
OR LET THINGS BE WRONG.

YOU CAN GET YOURSELF
IN A LOT OF TROUBLE, JERRY.

I SLEEP AT NIGHT.

JAMES, HOW LONG DID YOU WORK
AT THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL?

ALL THROUGH COLLEGE,
WHICH IN MY CASE

WAS ALMOST 8 YEARS.

SO YOU MUST KNOW
YOUR WAY AROUND

A FEW CHILDHOOD DISEASES?

SOME.

NEUROFIBROMATOSIS.
YOU HEARD OF IT?

SURE.

IS IT GENETIC?

IT CAN BE.

SO IF AN UNCLE HAS IT,

THEN THE NEPHEW
MIGHT HAVE IT.

THAT'S RIGHT.
WHY THE INTEREST?

I HAVE A CLIENT
THAT HAS A LIST OF POTENTIAL FATHERS.

I'M JUST TRYING
TO NARROW IT DOWN.

THE MOTHER
WAS A POPULAR GIRL.

OH, YEAH.

SHE WAS A PROSTITUTE.

YOU'RE TRYING
TO FIND A MAN

WHO PAID TO HAVE SEX
WITH A HOOKER

OVER A DOZEN
YEARS AGO?

THAT'S RIGHT.

James:
TO TELL HIM WHAT,

"CONGRATULATIONS,
IT'S A BOY"?

IS THIS REALLY
YOUR HIGHEST PRIORITY?

THE CLIENT
WANTS ME TO DO IT.

IT'S NOT GONNA MAKE
ONE BIT OF DIFFERENCE

IN THAT CHILD'S LIFE.

WELL, IF WE CAN
ESTABLISH PATERNITY,

THEN WE CAN COLLECT
CHILD SUPPORT.

YOU'RE SERIOUS?

YOU'RE SERIOUS.

YOU BELIEVE
THIS GUY?

YOU WANT ME
TO HELP FIND HIM?

YOU ALREADY HAVE.
THANK YOU.

WHEN I SAW YOUR NAME
ON THE MESSAGE SLIP,

I DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT TO EXPECT.

JUST ME.

THERE WAS A POINT
IN TIME THAT COULD MEAN PUKING UP

BLACK BEAUTIES
AT A CANADIAN DOG TRACK.

IT WAS CODEINE,

AND IT WAS YOU
DOING THE VOMITING.

OH. [CHUCKLES]

IT'S A MIRACLE
WE'RE BOTH ALIVE.

HUH?

YOU LOOK GOOD, NICK.
YOU REALLY DO.

YOUR BROTHER DAVE,
HOW'S HE DOING?

DAVE?

PRETTY WELL.

THERE'S A CLINIC
IN PHILLY,

REALLY GOOD PEOPLE,

THEY TAKE THE PAIN
ISSUE SERIOUSLY.

TAUGHT HIM
HOW TO MANAGE IT.

HE'S HOLDING DOWN
A JOB AT A RADIO STATION

DOING AD SALES.

EVEN BOUGHT A HOUSE.

NEUROFIBROMATOSIS,
THAT'S WHAT HE HAS, RIGHT?

YEAH, N.F.

THEY MADE SOME
REAL PROGRESS IN THE LAST FEW YEARS.

THANKS FOR ASKING.

SO, WHAT'S UP?

SHE'S CUTE.

LABOR DAY WEEKEND, 1989.

[CHUCKLES] OH, NO.

SEE, EMILY AND I
WERE MARRIED

BY THAT POINT
IN TIME, NICK.

HER NAME IS SUMMER.
SHE'S A PROSTITUTE.

YOUR PHONE NUMBER
IS IN HER DAY BOOK.

REALLY?

[LAUGHS]
I HAVE NO IDEA.

THAT'S HER SON.

HE'S AN N.F. SUFFERER
LIKE YOUR BROTHER.

HE WAS BORN 9 MONTHS
AFTER YOUR DATE.

IT WAS A FLING,

A DIRTY WEEKEND
AT CONNEAUT LAKE,

END OF STORY.

AND, YES, I PAID.
SO WHAT? I PAID.

NOT BECAUSE I COULDN'T
GET ANY WOMAN I WANTED.

NO, I PAID
SO WHEN I SAID IT WAS OVER,

IT WAS OVER. RIGHT?

WITH HER MAYBE,

BUT, UH,
I REPRESENT THE BOY.

AND HE HAS
FINANCIAL NEEDS.

[SIGHS]

HOW MUCH ARE
WE TALKING ABOUT?

NO.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.

I HAVE 2 DAUGHTERS
IN PRIVATE SCHOOL,

I HAVE DENTAL SCHOOL LOANS,
I HAVE A MORTGAGE.

NICK--

THIS KID IS GONNA END UP
IN A STATE HOME

FOR MENTALLY DISABLED
CHILDREN.

ONE INDISCRETION
10 YEARS AGO,

AND YOU'RE SCREWING ME
TO THE WALL.

I'M THE KID'S LAWYER.

LOOK THE OTHER WAY, MAN.

I CAN'T. THIS KID
JUST NEEDS HELP.

YOU CAN
DO THIS QUIETLY.

NO ONE HAS TO KNOW.

I CAN FIGHT THIS.

I CAN FILE
A PATERNITY CLAIM

AND LET THIS GET PUBLIC.

THERE'S STUFF
I COULD SAY ABOUT YOU.

YOU KNOW? THERE ARE
THINGS I COULD SAY.

I WOULDN'T BE
SITTING ACROSS FROM YOU

IF I HADN'T
ALREADY BEEN THROUGH THE COURT SYSTEM.

I'M ALREADY
SCREWED, DEREK.

BELIEVE ME.

THAT'S YOUR COPY.

OH.

NICK.

I WAS JUST LOOKING
FOR YOU.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

THE KIDS ARE
UP IN BOSTON WITH ALAN.

I MISS THEM.

GOD.

AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW
IF WHAT I'M DOING

IS GONNA HELP ME
GET CUSTODY.

YOU'LL BE FINE.

YOU'LL BE OK.

YOU THINK YOU CAN
COME HOME WITH ME?

RACHEL--

NO BUSINESS.

I DON'T WANT
TO CHANGE YOUR MIND.

COME OVER, AND...

TOMORROW, WE'LL SIT
ACROSS THE TABLE AND...

WE'LL AGREE
TO GO TO WAR.

YOU KNOW, WE NEVER
REALLY TALKED ABOUT

WHAT HAPPENED WITH YOU.

YOUR PROBLEMS.

I WISH...

WE WERE FRIENDS
FOR A LONG TIME.

I WISH...

WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

IT JUST BOTHERS ME

TO THINK OF YOU
FALLING SO FAR.

THERE'S NOTHING
YOU COULD HAVE DONE.

NO.

BUT YOU WERE THERE FOR ME.

YOU WERE IN TROUBLE.

YOU'VE ALWAYS KEPT IT
BETWEEN US

AFTER YOU CHECKED ME
INTO REHAB,

AND I ASSUME YOU'LL
CONTINUE TO DO THAT.

THE ONLY WAY
TO SUCCESSFULLY DO THIS

IS TO GO AFTER
YOUR DAUGHTER PUBLICLY.

I DON'T WANT TO CALL THIS
A SMEAR CAMPAIGN.

I DON'T DO SMEAR CAMPAIGNS.

BUT I DO NEED TO KNOW
THE ONE THING

THAT MIGHT CAUSE
THE SHAREHOLDERS TO BALK

AT HAVING HER
INSTALLED AS CEO.

AND I ASSUME,
SINCE YOU PEOPLE ARE CLOSEST TO HER,

THAT SOMEONE CAN
TELL ME WHAT THAT IS.

THEN I CAN LEAK IT.

A SMEAR CAMPAIGN
AGAINST HIS OWN DAUGHTER.

WELL, SHE STARTED THIS.

LET'S GO TO OWENS-HILLER.

MAKE THEM THE SAME OFFER
RACHEL MADE.

NICHOLAS...

THEY HATE EACH OTHER.

HATE EACH OTHER.

YEAH.

BUT THEY BOTH LOVE MONEY.

BECAUSE OF HIS AGE
AND DISABILITY,

SOCIAL SERVICES
IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDING

THAT LAWRENCE BE PLACED
AT THE RILEY CENTER.

WHAT DOES THE CHILD WANT?

THE CHILD WOULD
LIKE TO STAY WITH HIS STEPFATHER, JERRY NEAL.

IS THAT YOUR RECOMMENDATION,
MR. FALLIN?

YES.

SEEING
THAT SOCIAL SERVICES

HAS REMOVED
THEIR OBJECTION

REGARDING MR. NEAL'S
SUITABILITY--

WE HAVE NOT.

AND WE STILL HAVE
A PROBLEM WITH THE HOUSE,

NOW THAT HIS MOTHER
WON'T BE HOME TO ASSIST HIM.

YOUR HONOR...

THE RILEY CENTER
IS ALMOST PUNITIVE.

AND THE BOY HAS DONE
NOTHING TO DESERVE IT.

ARE THERE
ANY OTHER OPTIONS?

THE ONLY FAIR SOLUTION
IS THAT THE BOY STAYS

IN THE HOUSE THAT
HE'S BEEN RAISED IN--

HIS MOTHER WON'T BE THERE--

JERRY NEAL
IS A PERFECTLY SUITABLE--

[BANGS GAVEL]
I ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER--

AND A LOVING FATHER!

I ASKED IF THERE
WERE ANY OTHER OPTIONS.

I'M WILLING
TO TAKE THE BOY.

STATE YOUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH THE CHILD.

I'M HIS FATHER.

I ONLY FOUND OUT YESTERDAY
THAT LAWRENCE IS MY SON.

NO ONE BOTHERED
TO TELL YOU?

IT WAS A ONE-NIGHT
STAND, YOUR HONOR.

HE PAID
TO HAVE SEX WITH ME.

THAT'S THE ONLY
RELATIONSHIP WE EVER HAD.

JUDGE DAMSEN,
I NEED TIME--

MS. SOLT, SIT DOWN.

MR. FALLIN, SIT DOWN!

I SAID SIT DOWN!

I'M BEING ASKED
TO DECIDE TO CHOOSE

BETWEEN PLACING THIS BOY

WITH THE MAN WHO BOUGHT
HIS MOTHER FOR THE NIGHT

OR THE MAN WHO SELLS HER.

THAT'S MY CHOICE.
THE JOHN OR THE PIMP.

THAT'S MEAN.

THIS HEARING IS
POSTPONED FOR 24 HOURS

TO GIVE THE COURT
A CHANCE TO SORT OUT THE RELATIONSHIPS.

ADJOURNED.

WE ASKED YOU TO HELP,

AND INSTEAD, YOU MADE IT
A THOUSAND TIMES WORSE.

I'M JUST TRYING
TO KEEP HIM OUT OF THE RILEY CENTER.

SO YOU PUT HIM WITH
A MAN HE NEVER KNEW?

IT WASN'T
MY INTENTION--

I KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE THINKING-- THAT YOU'LL GET AWAY

WITH SCREWING UP
EVERYTHING I HAVE

BECAUSE YOU'RE
THIS BIG LAWYER

AND I'M JUST
A STUPID WHORE.

I TOLD EMILY
THE TRUTH,

AND SHE FEELS--

I FEEL
THAT TAKING HIM IN

IS THE RIGHT
THING TO DO.

RIGHT.

WELL, IT IS
THE STATE'S OBLIGATION

TO GIVE
THE BIOLOGICAL PARENT

EVERY OPPORTUNITY.

DEREK...

IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?

YES.

YOU KNOW THIS
IS A TREMENDOUS COMMITMENT,

MR. AND MRS. JOHNSON.

WE KNOW.

YOU UNDERSTAND THE REALITIES
OF HIS SITUATION?

YES.

YOU KNOW THAT,
SHOULD THIS WORK OUT,

LAWRENCE WILL
GO THROUGH A PERIOD OF CULTURE SHOCK.

I UNDERSTAND
THAT HE'S BEEN LIVING IN AN ENVIRONMENT

THAT IS VERY DIFFERENT
FROM OUR HOME.

THE MOTHER...
IS A PROSTITUTE

AND THE FATHER IS SOME
KIND OF HELL'S ANGEL.

NO, THE FATHER IS DEREK.

Emily: OF COURSE.

I KNEW THAT.

MR. OWENS,
I'M BURTON FALLIN.

YOU KNOW MR. SHELL.

YES.

GOOD. GOOD.

WHAT'S THE PROPOSAL?

WELL, MR. SHELL
APPRECIATES THE WISDOM

OF YOUR STRATEGY,

SO HE'S WILLING TO,
UH, SPIN OUT

THE SEMI-CONDUCTOR
DIVISION

AND GIVE YOU
2 SETS OF SHARES.

THAT'S WHAT RACHEL
WAS PROPOSING.

YEAH, BUT WITH US,

YOU WOULDN'T HAVE
A FIGHT ON YOUR HANDS. [CHUCKLES]

I DON'T THINK
I HAVE A FIGHT ON MY HANDS EITHER WAY.

[WHISPERS]
Add a bonus.

WHAT?

Options.

Bart: OH. YEAH.

Nick: IN LIGHT
OF YOUR SUPPORT,

WE'RE WILLING TO OFFER
A MILLION DOLLARS IN OPTIONS

AND ANOTHER SEAT
ON THE BOARD.

WHOSE?

RACHEL'S.

LAWRENCE WILL BE
WITHOUT HIS MOTHER FOR 21 MONTHS.

DURING HER PRISON TERM,
HE WILL GRADUATE SEVENTH GRADE,

START AND FINISH
EIGHTH GRADE,

AND ENTER
THE NINTH GRADE.

THE RILEY CENTER
IS AN EXCELLENT FACILITY,

ESPECIALLY WELL-SUITED
TO WHEELCHAIR USERS.

HOW MANY OTHER
WHEELCHAIR USERS

ARE THERE
AT THE RILEY CENTER?

WHEN I CHECKED, 5.

5 OUT OF 28.

OF THE OTHER 23,
HOW MANY SUFFER

FROM MENTAL
RETARDATION?

20.

SORRY?

20.

NO FURTHER QUESTIONS,
YOUR HONOR.

MR. JOHNSON...

EMILY AND I HAVE HAD
A TOUGH COUPLE OF DAYS,

BUT SHE WANTS
TO DO RIGHT BY THIS BOY,

LET HIM LIVE AMONG
REGULAR PEOPLE FOR ONCE.

BY REGULAR PEOPLE,
YOU MEAN WHAT?

WELL, I MEAN...

HIS MOTHER'S
GOING TO JAIL.

WE'RE NOT LIKE THAT.

REGULAR.

I'M NOT REGULAR?
I'M A CRIMINAL?

MRS. NEAL.
I GUESS SO.

BUT YOU'RE THE CUSTOMER.
SO THE DIFFERENCE IS

I DID IT
TO RAISE MONEY TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE,

AND YOU JUST DID IT
FOR THE SEX.

MRS. NEAL!

LAWRENCE WANTS
TO LIVE WITH ME.

I'M MARRIED
TO HIS MOM.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHY
THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO GET IN THE WAY.

MR. NEAL, YOU RECENTLY
SPENT SOME TIME

IN PRISON YOURSELF.
IS THAT CORRECT?

YES, SIR.
FOR ASSAULT AND BATTERY.

Nick: THAT SOUNDS BAD.

DID YOU HIT SOMEONE?

YES, I DID.
I HIT MY STEPFATHER.

YOU WERE DEFENDING
YOUR 13-YEAR-OLD SISTER

FROM YOUR STEPFATHER?

Jerry:
THAT IS CORRECT.

CAN ANYONE
CORROBORATE YOUR STORY?

YES, SIR. MY SISTER.

YOUR HONOR, I'D LIKE
TO ENTER HER STATEMENT INTO EVIDENCE.

SHE'S AVAILABLE
FOR QUESTIONING

IF YOU WISH
TO SUBPOENA HER.

WE ACCEPT THE STATEMENT,
YOUR HONOR.

IT DOESN'T
CHANGE THE FACT

THAT MR. NEAL RESORTS
TO VIOLENCE EASILY.

MR. NEAL,

HOW MANY HOURS
OF MEDICAL TRAINING HAVE YOU HAD?

I'M A TOOL
AND DIE MAKER.

I DON'T HAVE ANY
MEDICAL TRAINING.

IN YOUR HOUSE,

CAN YOU ROLL
A WHEELCHAIR INTO THE BATHROOM?

NO.

YOU JUST KIND OF PICK HIM UP
OUT OF THE CHAIR,

BUT HE GETS AROUND OK.

NO MORE QUESTIONS,
YOUR HONOR.

THIS COURT WILL RECESS
FOR 30 MINUTES

TO CONSIDER
THE WRITTEN STATEMENT.

WE WILL RECONVENE
AT 3:30.

THIS WASN'T PART
OF THE DEAL, YOU KNOW.

I NEVER MEANT
FOR THIS TO HAPPEN.

IT WASN'T
PART OF THE DEAL.

WE HAVEN'T REALLY
OFFICIALLY MET.

I THOUGHT IF
YOU WERE GONNA LIVE WITH US, WE SHOULD.

WELL...

IT'S NICE
TO MEET YOU.

YEAH. YOU, TOO.

MY BROTHER, YOU KNOW,

HE'S LIKE YOU.

HE LIKES MOTORCYCLES?

NO, I MEANT...

HE HAS WHAT YOU HAVE.

THAT'S MY DISEASE.
THAT'S NOT ME.

I KNOW, I--I MEANT...

I MEAN...

IF YOU COME
TO LIVE WITH US,

WE'RE GONNA TREAT YOU
LIKE OUR SON.

I AM YOUR SON.

I--

Judge Damsen: YOU'VE HAD
SOME BAD LUCK IN YOUR LIFE,

BUT LOOK AROUND.

6 ADULTS, AND THEY ALL
CARE ABOUT YOU VERY MUCH.

YOUR BIOLOGICAL
FATHER MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN YOUR MOTHER

UNDER THE BEST
OF CIRCUMSTANCES,

BUT HE WANTS
TO DO RIGHT BY YOU.

MS. SOLT BELIEVES
HER HOUSING CHOICE

IS THE ONLY SUITABLE ONE.

SHE'S RIGHT, BUT HOUSING
IS NOT A FAMILY.

AND YOUR MOTHER'S
HUSBAND JERRY

WANTS TO DO
THE RIGHT THING, TOO.

I KNOW YOU WANT
TO STAY HOME.

I WISH I COULD
RECOMMEND THAT.

THE RILEY CENTER.

MR. NEAL WILL HAVE
VISITATION ON ODD WEEKENDS.

MR. JOHNSON
ON EVEN WEEKENDS,

SHOULD PATERNITY
BE CONFIRMED.

AND WHEN YOUR MOTHER'S
RELEASED FROM PRISON,

SHE CAN PETITION
FOR CUSTODY AGAIN.

ALL MY LIFE,

ALL I EVER WANTED
WAS TO RUN THE COMPANY.

I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT.

I GREW MY DIVISIONS,

I WORKED
INCREDIBLE HOURS.

BUT YOU SHOULD
HAVE TOLD ME, FATHER,

THAT YOU WERE
NEVER GONNA LET ME IN YOUR OFFICE.

YOU SHOULD
HAVE TOLD ME THAT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.

I MARRIED THE COMPANY,

AND I LOST
EVERYTHING FOR IT.

AND YOU LET ME DO THAT.

WHY?

IT'S BECAUSE YOU...
YOU DO TOO MUCH.

I'VE LOST SLEEP WORRYING
ABOUT THE RISKS YOU'VE TAKEN.

YOU--YOU ACT
AS IF YOU'VE GOT

TO PROVE YOURSELF
EVERY DAY.

YOU DON'T.
YOU REALLY DON'T.

YOU'RE GREAT
AT WHAT YOU DO.

BUT YOUR BROTH--

CHARLIE UNDERSTANDS
THAT WHAT WE'VE GOT HERE

IS A SIMPLE COMPANY.

AND HE'LL
KEEP IT THAT WAY.

THAT'S WHY IT'S BEST
FOR ALL OF US...

THAT HE TAKE IT OVER.

NOW, YOU END
THIS PROXY FIGHT,

YOU CAN COME BACK
TO WORK.

YOU ENGINEERED THIS.

I THOUGHT
THIS WAS BETTER THAN THE ALTERNATIVE.

NO, YOU JUST
THOUGHT YOU COULD WIN.

THEY WERE GONNA
GO AFTER YOU.

THEY WOULD
HAVE FOUND OUT EVERYTHING.

[TRUCK SQUEAKS]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

HI.

STILL WORKING?

WELL, IT'S NOT FINISHED.

HOW'D SHE TAKE IT?

DO YOU REMEMBER...

A COMPANY PICNIC,

WHEN YOU AND RACHEL
STOLE A BOTTLE OF WINE

AND RAN OFF
INTO THE FOREST--

YEAH.

AND RACHEL THREW UP

ALL OVER
HER LITTLE SHOES.

AND WHEN
WE ASKED YOU ABOUT IT,

YOU BOTH LIED...

TO PROTECT EACH OTHER.

WHAT IS IT, SON?

TODAY IS MOM'S BIRTHDAY.

SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN--

59.
