You read up on how CLS is run

Its budget, its philosophy for handling

It's an enormous case load

And you don't like fast food approach

To represent these kids

Do you?

Masterson wants you to go away

That'll I go away

1500 hours of picking up trash

From a highway on public park

Seem's like such a waste

I'm not too good to pick up trash

I'm giving you a choice

One time only

You can finish your sentence at Children Legal Services

Or you can transfer to a community development desk

And work with low income housing applicants

Think about it for a few days

Can I help you?

I was ... Ah ... I was.. What?

I was raped.

How old you honey?

Fifteen

The doctor is going to examine the condition vaginal area

Than take any sample of fluids for DNA testing

Police want to talk to you after that

What's that guy doing?

We have to take pictures.

I saw what he could do to her

Hit her in a face

So I'm just letting him do it what he wanted

And you stay with your aunt now

Why did your mother bail your stepfather out of jail?

Because he'll kill her is she didn't

Why you didn't report this to police early

The bank told them, your company worth more to them liquidated then reorganized

Second mortgage property value in the Alsace report ...

We're can't take the account.

When I spoke with Jake, I thought you farther firm been around for generations.

No. He is started himself.

I know that now.

I was curious, why have you disliked me so much?

So I had my secretary search on employment record

You know, your dad used to work on our fabricating plant?

It was my grandfather.

Your grandfather and your father

Burton Fallin work here from 1953 to 1955.

Seem's your dad had hand in United Steel worker's attempt unionized the plant.

That was my grandfather.

No. That was your father.

So, what are you, Mr. Fallin?

You guy's acting like a country club sect but you do business like a liberals?

You always said, don't let your feeling getting away on business.

Your father would have loved the effect that they coming to you for help.

Hmm..

Unfortunately, you don't really know what your grandfather would've loved.

This is..

This is the kind of money that you'd wanna represent?

Money is money.

It's yours then.

You put in an hour, you take the risk.

We got the go ahead.

What? Your dad changes his mind.

Yeah. What he said to him?

Alas, I still can't get over with this, I mean, I work for this guy's know he hates me so much.

I'm thinking, that pretty stall argument to get him to change this ...

You don't have to move on your diligence.

What ... What are you going?

I got meeting at Cross.

Well, come on, Nick, I'm a little help on this.

I got my dad to take a client, you get to do diligence.

I got handed to you, had me go with the school's uniform and this head story.

April, you do not want to spend your life with the guy like that.

Don't tell me what I want.

You fifteen.

What's gonna happen to me?

I'm recommending you go back home to your mother.

You can't see me back there.

April

My mother let him rape me.

She knew was happening she let him.

April

She could hear me crying, I know she could.

She might try to fight him off, she just on the next remover.

I'm sending you home.

Why would anybody listen to me?

It'd happened

It'd happened.

He'd rolled over and ...

He's put his hand

His fingers

He'd shoved them

He'd told me not to move and ...

I mean, I mean, I'd fought with him first

But

After awhile I'd just quit

Let him do what he wanted

Crying every time. That's it. I never do it again.

You think she's telling the truth?

Then I mean, than if he'll just come back a few nights later...

I believe she was raped.

But

I've never seen a perpetrator giving fifteen years old girl such advance warning

Crawling into bed, masturbating next her, breaking its waist slowly toward touching her

Just isn't a typical behavior toward the girl April's age.

But you do see such behavior in rape cases?

Yes, but typically a pedophile supremo a much younger children.

Find out if April Sandrow had any previous history of sexual abuse.

Hey .. Hey. Come here.

Maybe you used other people do your work for you over in your daddy's firm

But here we do it ourselves.

Come here

Working here cost you a lot of money, isn't it?

325.000 dollars in billable hours.

You realize, you year salary is much as our entire operating budget?

Yes, I do.

Well, you'll may want to think about the fact,

The people work here have so much to do and so little money and time

than you need further think from there might.

Can you borough's check on girl's name's April Sandrow?

See, if she'd lived in another county or state?

Hold on I've got something

Marriage record for Al Sandrow and Jennifer Evans

Looks like she change the name and April is well.

Where.. Where is the close cases?

Here .. Oh ..

Oh, April Evans

Oh, God ... I remember this one.

This court held the initial detention hearing in this matter in January, 11 1995

After the Battle Park police department receives the report than James Evans had sexually abused April then 9.

April reported that

Mr. Evans, her new stepfather had been getting into bed with her

And touching himself and then he's put his fingers inside of her, enforce his penis into her mouth.

This is exactly the same things she's made three day's ago.

We have to start again

I'm your lawyer

This is gonna be petition hearing regarding your custody day after tomorrow

My custody?

You have three choices as I see it.

You can go to a group home for pregnant teenagers

Or if the court sees fit to charge you at detention center.

You'd said three choices.

You can still back home.

I know you were raped

Six years ago

I know that your mother made you drop the charges

April

I was nine years old

Sending an innocent man to prison not gonna change that

I can't go home. I really wish you would.

It would be a terrible mistake send you to a group shelter

You still have a chance, a good chance for a better life

With your mother and your stepfather.

Tell the police what really happened

Tell him that your stepfather never laid a hand on you

What happen to you

I'm sorry

It's not right

But we can change it.

Will you tell the police a truth?

If I did that

Yes

You'll talk to my mother for me?

Right now

Thank you for helping me.

My husband isn't home. He doesn't like. Why people up here leave me alone?

This won't take long

Let off your, we haven't vintage store

Why did you leave last husband?

Just didn't work out.

Because he'd raped your daughter?

Mrs. Sandrow

April wants to come home

What a hell is going on here?

We picked April up last night

She's three month pregnant and the father of the child is dealing drugs from his sister's house.

What?

Why can you just bring her back here?

Until the charges against your husband...

I want her back here now

Shh ... It's OK.

I'll stay in a motel.

No. Yes, you go home, take care of your kid.

Yeah?

Where is April?

That, what's there?

She isn't here.

Do you know where she is?

She left

When?

I don't know, some guy came and got her.

Right, Nona. You know, I understand that.

Wow .. I have the file right here in front of me.

What ... Actually, hold on give me a second.

I'd spoken with a police

April's boyfriend lab store where he was working, he was taken off.

The police are looking for him but

They think he'd left the state.

Hello

Shall we back?

Enough to hear for placement them through the delinquency system for breaking the law.

You know

Most this kids just stay in system for rest theirs lives.

Just the way's goes.

Why do it then?

Because

You never know when you make a difference.

This never often, Mr. Fallin but ah...

Sometimes you do.

You're coming back tomorrow?

Clayton's coming in sue.

Tonight?

Taking clock. We're gonna meeting with creditor's committee the morning.

You know

We haven't representing him

No ... No ...

No. You're right

The past is a past.

All the guy is spoil ass.

That's no reason not to represent him.

That's ... That's grandfather

There was the tough, arrogant son of a bitch.

He'd go war over nothing

He'd asked for 50 cents at hour more

Sundays off

My father wants to go into church for this.

Wanted have one meal in weeks with his family but

No way says Clayton

Huh .. What a bastard.

I'll tell Jake to drop the case.

No, no, no ...

Go ahead. Liquidate it.

Let it just disappear.

Can't be helped anyway.

We'll help him cut the cord.

We have to drop entire cooperation and focus on protecting your assets

What are we doing?

Well, first we attack the bank, cancel the lending.

How?

Claim the interfere to management of the company.

We're doing that. You should fly under a flow and get yourself a driver license and register the vote.

California resident.

Buy yourself the biggest house you can down there

Because bank can't touch it.

Can a workers come after me?

They can't do anything.

Hm ... Look, instead of protecting your assets

Why to you to not take a real share, reorganizing a company?

The first thing to do is exchange debt for equity.

How?

Make the employee part owner of the company.

The workers?

The workers.

You OK?

Yeah, I'm OK.

Why do you ask?

I don't no. You just ... seemed

Upturn left ... the plant outside that hill.

You know, if isn't working out you probably won't get paid.

Ha-ha ... No. I know.

Nickolas. Do you see door over there

It's where your grandfather's work back down there, the furnace room.

Man was operating 4000 men work here.

Twelve hours shift

Seven days a week

Never got a rise

Never got any thanks

After Clayton fired my dad, He never worked again.

Black Poll.

See that far over there, that street

Spent all the day on it, drinking

Died a wicked, pass far advance.

Always felt like my hand on

Hand on to his death.

Well

That can be honored, Nickolas

It's that something.

Howdy

That can be honored.

So, Mr. Fallin

What does kind of being?

I'll stay.

I'll stay with the clinic.
