PREVIOUSLY
ON THE GUARDIAN...

...CHILDREN'S LEGAL
SERVICES IS SIMPLE.

WE PROVIDE QUALITY
LEGAL REPRESENTATION

AND ADVOCACY ASSISTANCE
TO CHILDREN WHO ARE ABUSED,

NEGLECTED,
OR OTHERWISE AT RISK.

THIS KIND OF JOB
IS NOT FOR EVERYONE.

IT TAKES A PERSON
WHO IS PASSIONATE.

THERE ARE NO
SECOND CHANCES HERE.

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

YOU DON'T GET
THAT CHANCE BACK.

WHAT'D YOU DO?
SOMETHING BAD?

I GOT ARRESTED
FOR DRUGS.

I KNOW ABOUT
THE SCHIZOPHRENIA

AND THE DRUG TRIALS.

I DID NOT TELL YOU
TO INVESTIGATE A MURDER.

I TOLD YOU TO ADVOCATE
FOR A CHILD.

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

OR I WILL
SEND YOU BACK FASTER

THAN IT USED TO TAKE YOU
TO SNORT AN 8-BALL.

MR. FALLIN UNDERSTANDS
YOUR POINT, MR. SAMPLE.

HE WON'T BE WORKING
WITH HUNTER AGAIN.

YOU SURE YOU WANT
TO TAKE ME OFF HUNTER'S CASE?

YES.REMEMBER YOU SAID THAT.

TELL US WHAT YOU SAID
ON THE STREET.

WHEN WE PICKED YOU UP,
WHAT DID YOU SAY?

THAT I KILLED MY WIFE.

IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID?

IT WAS VERY LOUD.

SHE WAS MAKING
TOO MUCH NOISE.

DR. REED, DID YOU
KILL HER WITH A KNIFE?

I HAD A KNIFE.

I--YES, I--
I HAD A KNIFE. I HAD A KNIFE.

WELL, WHERE WAS YOUR SON?

HE WAS--HE WAS THERE.

IF I COULD JUST--

WELL, WHERE'S THE KNIFE,
DR. REED?

THE KNIFE I USED?WHERE IS IT?

I--I TOOK IT.
I TOOK IT.

I TOOK IT OUTSIDE.

OUT--

THERE'S A $10 MILLION
VERDICT IN THIS.

NO JURY IS GOING
TO AWARD THIS MAN A DIME

FOR KILLING
HIS OWN WIFE.

THAT'S WHY I WANT
TO REPRESENT HIS SON

AND HIS WIFE'S ESTATE.

ON WHAT GROUNDS?

DR. REED IS A SURGEON
WHO'S SUFFERED SEVERE TREMORS

IN HIS OPERATING HAND.

DR. REED'S PSYCHIATRIST
ENROLLED HIM

IN A CLINICAL TRIAL
OF AN UNTESTED, UNAPPROVED DRUG

MANUFACTURED BY
THE BENDAPRINE CORPORATION.

HE'S A HIGHLY-FUNCTIONING
SCHIZOPHRENIC.

ALL RIGHT, SO YOU'RE
SAYING THE DRUG CAUSED THIS MAN

TO KILL HIS WIFE.

IF HE HADN'T TAKEN IT,
HE WOULDN'T HAVE ATTACKED HIS WIFE.

AND BENDAPRINE
IS THE LARGEST PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY

IN THE U.S.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
WHO--WHO WANTS TO RETAIN US?

NOBODY YET...

BUT I THINK I CAN
LAND THE SON.

HIS MATERNAL
GRANDPARENTS ARE HIS GUARDIANS.

MM. BRING 'EM IN.

THAT COULD BE
A PROBLEM.

WHY?

THEY HATE ME.

SO, HOW MUCH
DO YOU NEED?

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.

HEY. HEY!

POLICE. FREEZE!HEY. HEY!

FREEZE!GET OFF ME, MAN.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO REMAIN SILENT.

ANYTHING YOU SAY
CAN AND WILL

BE USED AGAINST YOU
IN A COURT OF LAW.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO SPEAK TO AN ATTORNEY

AND TO HAVE AN ATTORNEY
PRESENT DURING ANY QUESTIONING.

IF YOU CANNOT
AFFORD A LAWYER,

ONE WILL BE
APPOINTED TO YOU

AT GOVERNMENT EXPENSE.

I AM SENTENCING YOU TO 1,500 HOURS

OF COMMUNITY SERVICE,

USING YOUR SKILLS
AS A CORPORATE ATTORNEY

TO WORK AS A CHILD ADVOCATE.

Radio DJ: 7:37,
PITTSBURGH. WHAT'S UP?!

ALL RIGHT,
SO THIS PLASTIC SURGEON, RIGHT?

HE STABS HIS WIFE
TO DEATH

RIGHT IN FRONT
OF HIS 11-YEAR-OLD SON.

WIFE KILLING.
THAT STILL ILLEGAL?

NO, NO, NO. THE GUY'S
GONNA GET OFF.

HE AND O.J., THEY'RE
TALKIN' ABOUT TEE TIMES.

OH, TEE TIMES. HE MAY EVEN
GET THE KID BACK.

CAN YOU IMAGINE
PROM NIGHT IN THIS HOUSE?

"UH, DAD,
CAN I BORROW THE CAR?"

"UH, NO, SON."

"BUT YOU KILLED MOM,
DAD."

"OH, WELL, SON, YOU DO
HAVE A POINT THERE."

ANDRE GREENWOOD.

YOU A COP?

I'M A LAWYER.

COME WITH ME.

I DIDN'T DO NOTHIN'.

I KNOW. YOU'RE NOT
IN ANY TROUBLE, ANDRE.

I'M HERE TO HELP.

HAVE A SEAT.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU
BEEN LIVING WITH YOUR BROTHER?

SINCE MY MOM
WENT TO JAIL.

HOW LONG AGO WAS THAT?

YOU COULD LOOK IT UP.

SO, THE TWO OF YOU
HAVE BEEN LIVING ALONE,

TAKING CARE
OF EACH OTHER.

UH-HUH.

YOU GO TO SCHOOL?

WHAT FOR?

WHAT DO YOU
DO WITH YOURSELF?

HELP MY BROTHER,
WATCH TV.

MARCUS MAKES THE MONEY.

SELLING CRACK.

WE AIN'T PARTY OF FIVE,
YOU KNOW.

THESE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS

ARE GOING TO DETERMINE
THE REST OF YOUR LIFE,

SO STOP STARING
AT YOUR SHOES

AND GIVING ME ATTITUDE,
AND START LISTENING UP!

NO FAMILY IS GONNA
WANT TO ADOPT YOU.

NO FOSTER FAMILY
IS GONNA WANT

AN 11-YEAR-OLD KID
FROM THE PROJECTS

WITH A CRIMINAL RECORD.

SO, YOU DON'T
PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT

AND YOU'RE GOING
TO END UP BOUNCING

FROM ONE TERRIBLE
GROUP HOME TO THE NEXT,

UNTIL YOU
END UP IN JAIL.

IS THAT WHERE
MY BROTHER IS?

YES.

THEN THAT'S
WHERE I WANT TO BE.

WHEN YOUR SON-IN-LAW
ATTACKED YOUR DAUGHTER,

HE WAS TAKING
AN EXPERIMENTAL DRUG CALLED NENDURATHOL.

WHY ARE YOU
TELLING US THIS?

WE DON'T THINK
HE WAS CULPABLE

FOR THE MURDER
OF YOUR DAUGHTER.

YOU DON'T THINK
HE WAS--

NO. WE DO THINK THAT
THE EXPERIMENTAL DRUG

INTERACTED
WITH THE STANDARD ANTI-PSYCHOTIC

AND THAT'S WHAT
MADE HIM DO IT.

IF YOU LET US
PROVE THIS,

OUR FIRM CAN GET
A SIZABLE SETTLEMENT

FROM
THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY

FOR YOUR GRANDSON
AND YOUR DAUGHTER'S ESTATE.

HOW SIZABLE
A SETTLEMENT?

WE'D BE ASKING
FOR 10 MILLION.

HOW MUCH OF THAT
IS YOURS?

40%.

THAT'S STANDARD.

WOULD YOU DO IT FOR 30%?

YES.

DR. REED,
I'VE BEEN REMOVED

AS HUNTER'S
GUARDIAN AD LITEM.

ALVIN MASTERSON,
THE PRESIDENT

OF CHILDREN'S
LEGAL SERVICES,

HAS THE CASE NOW.

YOU CAME ALL THIS WAY
TO TELL ME THAT?

HUNTER'S GRANDPARENTS
HAVE AGREED TO ALLOW MY FIRM

TO REPRESENT YOUR SON'S
AND YOUR WIFE'S ESTATE

IN A CIVIL SUIT
AGAINST BENDAPRINE PHARMACEUTICALS.

WHAT'S A CIVIL SUIT?

IT'S WHEN
A PRIVATE PARTY SUES ANOTHER PARTY FOR MONEY.

THIS WILL IN NO WAY
PREVENT YOU

FROM PURSUING
YOUR OWN SUIT AGAINST BENDAPRINE.

WHY ARE WE
SUING SOMEBODY?

WE THINK
THAT COMPANY HURT YOUR FAMILY,

AND WE THINK
THAT THEY SHOULD PAY FOR IT.

SO MY SON
AND MY WIFE'S ESTATE,

BUT NOT ME.

YOU DON'T WANT
TO REPRESENT ME.

NO JURY WOULD
FIND IN YOUR FAVOR, DR. REED.

I HAVE A CASE.

IF WE NAME YOU
IN THE CIVIL SUIT,

IT WILL ONLY
HURT HUNTER'S CHANCES FOR RECEIVING DAMAGES.

THEIR LAWYERS
WILL DESTROY YOU, DR. REED.

THEY WILL DESTROY
THE ENTIRE CASE. BELIEVE ME...

IT'S BETTER THIS WAY.

JUDGING FROM HIS PAST
AND HIS AFFILIATIONS,

WE FEEL IT'S
ONLY APPROPRIATE

TO PLACE ANDRE
INTO A LOCKED GROUP HOME IN A PUBLIC FACILITY.

MR. MOONEY, WHAT ARE
YOUR CLIENT'S WISHES?

I'D LIKE TO REQUEST
AN EXTENSION

SO I COULD
FURTHER EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITIES.

I WANT TO STAY
WITH MY BROTHER.

WHERE IS HE?

HE'S IN JAIL.

YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT WE'RE NOT

INTERESTED IN
PUNISHING YOU,

WE JUST WANT
TO FIND YOU A PLACE TO LIVE.

I WANT TO LIVE
WITH MY BROTHER.

YOU HONOR,
MAY I APPROACH?

YES.

UH, THE REASON
THAT WE'RE HERE

IS THAT
MY CLIENT'S BROTHER WAS ARRESTED YESTERDAY

FOR SELLING
CRACK COCAINE.

HE'S THE ONLY GUARDIAN
MY CLIENT HAS EVER KNOWN,

AND I'D LIKE
AN EXTRA FEW DAYS

TO FIND OUT MORE
ABOUT EXTENDED FAMILY

BEFORE WE MAKE
ANY DECISION.

I'LL GIVE YOU 72 HOURS.

NEXT CASE.

NENDURATHOL ALLOWS
SERIOUSLY ILL PEOPLE

TO LEAD NORMAL LIVES.

IS THAT BEFORE OR AFTER
THEY STAB THEIR LOVED ONES WITH KITCHEN KNIVES?

MR. FALLIN, EVEN IF
DR. THOMAS REED MURDERED HIS WIFE,

IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED
A CRIMINAL ACT.

NOW, THAT ELIMINATES--

A CRIMINAL ACT
REQUIRES INTENT.

YOUR DRUG CAUSED DR. REED
TO BECOME PSYCHOTIC.

AND BY DEFINITION,
HIS PSYCHOSIS

MADE HIM MENTALLY UNABLE
TO FORM INTENT.

WHAT ARE YOU,
A DEFENSE LAWYER NOW?

JUST LETTING YOU KNOW.

IF ANYONE WAS NEGLIGENT,

IT WAS DR. REED'S
PSYCHIATRIST

FOR MIS-PRESCRIBING
THE DRUG.

SO YOU ARE SAYING
THE DRUG WAS RESPONSIBLE.

NO. WE ARE SAYING
THAT THE PSYCHIATRIST SHOULD BE LIABLE.

WE'VE ALREADY NAMED HIM
IN OUR SUIT.

YOU CAN COUNT TO 10
AND WATCH HIM

TURN AGAINST YOUR COMPANY
TO SAVE HIS ASS.

SUE DR. REED,
MR. FALLIN,

OR SUE HIS PSYCHIATRIST.

EITHER WAY, YOU WON'T
SEE A PENNY FROM US.

THE FDA IS GOING
TO HAVE A HARD TIME APPROVING YOUR DRUG

ONCE WE
FILE THE COMPLAINT.

THINK ABOUT THAT
BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO TAKE YOUR GLOVES OFF.

GOOD MORNING, GENTLEMEN.

OH, NICHOLAS.

JUST GOT A CALL
FROM A FRIEND OF MINE AT THE DA's OFFICE.

DR. REED'S ATTORNEY
FILED A MOTION

TO HAVE THE CONFESSION
THROWN OUT.

THE HEARING'S
IN 20 MINUTES.

HE WASN'T GIVEN
HIS MIRANDA RIGHTS.

HE WAS NOT
IN CUSTODY,

SO READING HIM
HIS MIRANDA RIGHTS WAS NOT REQUIRED.

THE POLICE
FOUND DR. REED ON THE STREET

WHERE HE VOLUNTEERED
THAT HE KILLED HIS WIFE.

YOUR HONOR,
HE WAS IN HANDCUFFS WHEN HE CONFESSED.

ONLY BECAUSE THE POLICE
FOUND HIM AGITATED

AND COVERED IN BLOOD.

THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER
HE WAS A DANGER TO HIMSELF OR TO OTHERS.

THAT'S NOT CUSTODY?

YOUR HONOR,
FOR ALL THE POLICE KNEW, HE JUST CUT HIMSELF.

IT WAS
A SAFETY PRECAUTION,

NOT A CUSTODIAL
INTERROGATION.

HE WAS IN HANDCUFFS?

YES.

THAT SOUNDS CUSTODIAL
TO ME.

CONFESSION
IS SUPPRESSED.

THE ONLY THING
KEEPING REED BEHIND BARS

IS HIS SON'S
TESTIMONY.

MEANING?

WELL, IF MURRAY DROPS
THAT INSANITY DEFENSE

AND GETS A DISMISSAL
WITHOUT PREJUDICE,

THERE'S
NO MURDER CHARGE.

NO MURDER CHARGE,
NO CIVIL SUIT.

WELL, YOU BETTER HOPE
THAT BOY TESTIFIES.

COME ON.
THE GREATEST INVENTION OF ALL TIME.

I DON'T KNOW.
THE WHEEL.

OH, THAT'S--
THAT'S A GOOD ONE.

THAT'S--THAT'S NICE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
IT IS?

ME? PHARMACEUTICALS.

BETTER LIVING
THROUGH CHEMISTRY.

MURRAY LIKES
TO USE HIS VIAGRA ALONE.

YOU KNOW I'M
REPRESENTING DR. REED'S SON

IN THE LAWSUIT
AGAINST BENDAPRINE.

THE BODY'S
NOT EVEN COLD, NICK.

I WANNA SETTLE
BEFORE THE CONVICTION.

CONVICTION?
THERE'S NOT EVEN GONNA BE A TRIAL.

WHEN HUNTER TESTIFIES
THAT HE SAW HIS FATHER KILL HIS MOTHER,

YOU'RE GONNA
GO STRAIGHT BACK TO THE INSANITY DEFENSE.

YOU MEAN IFHE TESTIFIES.

YOUR BOSS AT CHILDREN'S
LEGAL SERVICES

FILED A MOTION
THAT HUNTER

IS INCOMPETENT
TO TAKE THE STAND.

ON ME. ON ME.
I'LL GET IT.

WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING?

I SHOULD ASK YOU
THE SAME THING.

I'M REPRESENTING
HUNTER REED IN HIS CIVIL SUIT

AGAINST BENDAPRINE
PHARMACEUTICALS.

I NEED HIM ON THE STAND.

2 WEEKS AGO YOU WERE
FIGHTING FOR HIS FATHER'S CHANCE FOR CUSTODY.

2 WEEKS AGO
I WAS HIS GUARDIAN.

THIS IS UNETHICAL.

YOU WERE THE ONE
THAT REMOVED ME FROM HIS CASE.

YOU'RE ABUSING
YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO THIS CLINIC.

IT'S IN HUNTER'S
BEST INTEREST TO BE COMPENSATED

FOR THE LOSS
THAT THIS COMPANY--

NO, HUNTER CLAIMS
A MAN BROKE INTO HIS HOUSE

THE MORNING
OF HIS MOTHER'S MURDER.

IT'S A LIE.

LOOK, UNDER STATE LAW

YOU HAVE TO PERFORM
AN INQUIRY

INTO A MINOR'S
COMPETENCY.

I FEEL HE'S INCOMPETENT.
HIS PSYCHIATRIST AGREES.

HE SAYS HE'S SUFFERING
FROM POST TRAUMATIC STRESS SYNDROME.

IF HE DOESN'T TESTIFY,
HIS FATHER WILL WALK AND THEY'LL GET NOTHING.

MAYBE HUNTER DOESN'T
CARE ABOUT THE MONEY.

MAYBE HE JUST
WANTS HIS FATHER BACK.

WE DON'T KNOW
HOW HE GOT IN HERE.

LAST NIGHT AT LOCKDOWN

WE FOUND HIM
IN HIS BROTHER'S CELL,

SLEEPING UNDER HIS COT.

YOU DON'T WANNA BE HERE.

NOW, HOW DO YOU KNOW
WHAT I WANT?

BECAUSE I'VE
BEEN HERE, ANDRE.

I'M LOCKING THIS DOOR
RIGHT NOW

BECAUSE I DON'T
TRUST YOU.

BUT I'LL BE BACK.

TAKE ME TO HIS BROTHER.

YOUR BROTHER
LOVES YOU.

I LOVE MY BROTHER.

HE DOESN'T GET
ONE THING.

WHAT?

YOU TURN 18
IN 4 MONTHS.

YEAH.

AND YOU GET
OUTTA HERE FREE.

HE COMES IN AT 12,

AND HE'S GOT
6 LONG YEARS AHEAD OF HIM.

OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM
AT WORK.

HE'S GOT ONE CHANCE.

NAH, HE NEVER
HAD A CHANCE.

FAIR ENOUGH.

WHY DON'T I TAKE CARE
OF HIM IN HERE?

THEN WHEN I GET OUT,
I CAN ADOPT HIM.

I'M LOOKING AT YOU...

AND I'M THINKING,
YOU CAN'T EVEN TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

I'M LOOKING AT YOU,
AND I'M THINKING THAT IN 6 MONTHS,

YOU'LL BE SITTING
IN A MAXIMUM-SECURITY PRISON.

AND I'M THINKING
YOUR BROTHER WILL EITHER COME WITH YOU,

OR DIE TRYING.

NOW, WHAT DO YOU
WANT FROM ME, MAN?! WHAT?!

HELP ME FIND SOMEBODY
WHO MIGHT TAKE HIM.

ANYONE. A FRIEND,
A RELATIVE.

SOMEONE WHO THE COURTS
MIGHT FIND ACCEPTABLE.

GARBAGE, MAN.
THAT'S GARBAGE.

UH-HUH.

WELL.

YOU KNOW, I GOT AN UNCLE
DOWN IN WHEELING.

HE USED TO TRY
TO HELP OUR FAMILY OUT,

BUT MY MOTHER
USED TO ALWAYS TAKE HIS--HIS MONEY

AND SPEND IT ON DRUGS.

ONE OF HER BOYFRIENDS
BEAT HIM UP ONCE,

AND HE JUST STOPPED
COMING AROUND.

WHAT'S HIS NAME?

JOHNSON GREENWOOD.

I MADE THE SOCCER TEAM.

YOU DON'T SOUND
TOO HAPPY ABOUT IT.

THE ONLY REASON
THEY PICKED ME

IS BECAUSE OF WHAT
HAPPENED TO MY MOM.

NO. NO, I THINK YOU'RE
PROBABLY PRETTY GOOD.

I SUCK.

ANYWAY, TOMORROW
AFTER SCHOOL IS OUR FIRST GAME,

IF YOU WANNA COME.

ALVIN MASTERSON TELLS ME
YOU'RE SAYING A MAN BROKE INTO YOUR HOUSE,

TIED UP YOUR DAD,
AND ATTACKED YOUR MOM.

WHY ARE YOU
SAYING THAT, HUNTER?

'CAUSE IT'S THE TRUTH.

HUNTER.

ALVIN SAYS I DON'T
HAVE TO TESTIFY IF I DON'T WANT.

IT'S NOT ALVIN'S DECISION.

WHETHER OR NOT YOU TESTIFY
IS UP TO THE JUDGE.

HUNTER, YOU STILL SHOULD
TELL THE TRUTH.

MY DAD DIDN'T
KILL MY MOM.

HE DIDN'T.

YEAH,
THAT'S HIM.

MAY I HELP YOU?

YOU JOHNSON GREENWOOD?YES.

I'M JAMES MOONEY,
FROM CHILDREN'S LEGAL SERVICES

IN PITTSBURGH.
CALLED ABOUT YOUR NEPHEW ANDRE.

COME INTO MY OFFICE.

MY SISTER
HAD 5 CHILDREN, MR. MOONEY.

3 OF THEM DIED
BEFORE THEY TURNED 18.

SAME THING'S GONNA
HAPPEN TO ANDRE.

I SUPPOSE.

BROTHER,
HE NEEDS A HOME NOW.

HE NEEDED A HOME
12 YEARS AGO.

I UNDERSTAND WHY
YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO TAKE HIM.

YOU GOT A GOOD PLACE,
YOUR KIDS ARE DOING WELL--

I'M NOT WORRIED
ABOUT ANDRE BEING A BAD INFLUENCE

ON MY CHILDREN.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BOY

ONCE MY SISTER
GETS OUT OF PRISON.

AND YOU'D RATHER
HE LIVE IN A BOYS' DETENTION CENTER?

NO. NO, I WOULDN'T.

YOU THINK IT OVER.

I ONLY HAVE ANOTHER DAY
TO FIND HIM A HOME.

WHAT DO WE GOTTA
DO NEXT?

I'LL TAKE CARE
OF THE PAPERWORK,

CALL YOU FIRST THING
TOMORROW.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

HE'S AT THAT AGE,
YOU KNOW?

IT'S NOW OR NEVER
FOR HIM.

YOU'RE TALKING
OF PLACING A CHILD OUT OF STATE.

IF THE CHILD
IS ADJUDICATED IN PENNSYLVANIA,

THE ONLY WAY
TO PLACE HIM

WITH A RELATIVE
OUT OF STATE IS TO GO THROUGH...

WHAT'S GOING ON?

YOU KNOW THAT
TAKES 4 MONTHS.

THIS KID ISN'T GONNA
LAST THAT LONG IN THIS SYSTEM.

BUT THAT'S THE DEAL.

LET ME TRY TO END RUN
THE ICPC.

WAIT HERE
ANOTHER MINUTE.

MR. FALLIN.

YOU WERE NOT SUPPOSED
TO TALK TO HUNTER

ABOUT WHAT WE DISCUSSED
IN CONFIDENCE.

WHAT HUNTER SAID TO YOU
IS IN CONFIDENCE.

DON'T YELL AT ME
BECAUSE YOU BROKE

THE ATTORNEY/CLIENT
PRIVILEGE.

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT
INTERFERING WITH MY PETITION.

I'M NOT INTERFERING.
YOUR CLINIC DOES SHELTER AND DEPENDENCY WORK.

I'M REPRESENTING HIM
IN A LAWSUIT AGAINST A CORPORATION.

ANY CONFLICT THAT
ARISES OUT OF THAT--

THERE WILL BE
NO MORE CONFLICTS, MR. FALLIN.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!

I CAN REMOVE YOU
FROM YOUR POSITION AT THIS CLINIC

AT ANY TIME.

WHY ARE YOU HERE?

MY DAD KILLED MY MOM.

WHY ARE YOU HERE?

MOM'S IN JAIL.
BROTHER'S IN JAIL.

I GOT NOWHERE ELSE
TO BE.

IT'S NOT
AGAINST THE LAW, ALVIN. YOU KNOW THAT'S TRUE.

MY ATTORNEY SAYS
THEY'LL DISMISS MY CASE WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

DO YOU KNOW WHY?

BECAUSE THEY THREW OUT
MY CONFESSION.

NO. BECAUSE
HUNTER IS SAYING

THAT A STRANGER
BROKE INTO YOUR HOUSE

AND MURDERED YOUR WIFE.

WE BOTH KNOW
THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

THE DRUGS
MADE YOU DO THIS.

YOU'RE A DOCTOR,
YOU KNOW THE SCORE.

THE FDA APPROVES
A DRUG LIKE THIS,

WHO KNOWS
HOW MANY MORE TIMES THIS WILL HAPPEN?

IF I ADMIT IT...

THEY'LL NEVER
GIVE HUNTER BACK TO ME.

THEY MIGHT, IF YOU WIN
YOUR INSANITY DEFENSE.

DR. REED, THINK ABOUT
WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

THERE IS NO
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS ON A MURDER CHARGE.

DISMISSAL
WITHOUT PREJUDICE

JUST MEANS
THAT THE PROSECUTION IS GONNA SIT BACK

AND WAIT UNTIL THE DAY
WHEN HUNTER FINALLY DECIDES TO TELL HIS STORY.

DO YOU WANT YOUR SON
LIVING WITH THAT KIND OF PRESSURE

FOR THE REST
OF HIS LIFE?

TELL THE TRUTH,
DR. REED.

BECAUSE IT'S
THE RIGHT THING TO DO,

OR BECAUSE IT MEANS
THAT YOU'LL MAKE A LOT OF MONEY?

I DON'T WANT HIM
GOIN' TO MY BROTHER.

YOU HAVE NO SAY
WHERE HE GOES.

NOT UNTIL YOU
GET OUT OF HERE.

I KNOW MY RIGHTS.

I KNOW YOU CAN'T
SHIP MY BOY OUT OF STATE

WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.

HMM. ONE HOME STUDY.

ONE CRIMINAL
BACKGROUND CHECK.

HOW LONG DO YOU THINK
IT'S GONNA TAKE THE STATE

TO TERMINATE
THE PARENTAL RIGHTS

OF A MOTHER WHO
LEFT HER CHILDREN UNSUPERVISED

IN HER HOME
FOR 3 YEARS?

WHY ARE YOU HERE, THEN,
IF YOU DON'T NEED ME?

IT WILL TAKE ME 4 MONTHS
TO GET THAT APPLICATION APPROVED

TO MOVE YOUR SON
OUT OF STATE.

AT WHICH POINT
YOU LOSE ALL CONTACT WITH ANDRE.

IF YOU VOLUNTARILY
AGREE TO TERMINATE YOUR PARENTAL RIGHTS

AND SIGN THIS PAPERWORK,

I CAN HAVE HIM
OUT OF HERE TOMORROW.

I GOTTA
SIGN MY BABY AWAY?

AT LEAST THIS WAY
YOU'LL KNOW WHERE YOUR SON IS.

CHILDREN'S
LEGAL SERVICES...

I WANT TO VOLUNTEER.

DO YOU THINK MY FATHER
IS GOING TO APPROVE?

HE LETS YOU DO IT.

HE LIKES IT BETTER
THAN MY GOING TO JAIL.

AMANDA,
HE WILL LET YOU GO

IF YOU FAIL
TO PUT IN THE HOURS AND PAY YOUR DUES.

BELIEVE ME, SOMEONE ELSE
WILL COME IN NEXT MONTH

AND TAKE YOUR JOB.

YOU'RE THREATENING ME.

NO. I'M OFFERING YOU
ADVICE.

NO, YOU'RE NOT.

I THOUGHT YOU
KIRK AND McGEE TYPES

HAD YOUR LUNCHES
CATERED.

SO, IS THAT
YOUR GIRLFRIEND?

EXCUSE ME?

WELL, I MEAN,
SHE LINGERS A LITTLE LONG

WHEN SHE LOOKS AT YOU,

AND SITS WITH HER BODY
COMPLETELY OPEN TO YOU

AND SMILES EVEN WHEN YOU
SAY RUDE THINGS TO HER.

YOU NOTICED ALL THAT
IN JUST 5 MINUTES?

IT'S MY JOB.

WELL.
YEAH.

SO, I DID A LITTLE
CHECKING UP ON YOU, MR. FALLIN.

CRIMINAL RECORD.

MEGHAN BARSTOW.
GEORGETOWN LAW SCHOOL.

DRUG CONVICTION.

LAW REVIEW.

PROBATION.PRINCETON UNDERGRAD.

VARSITY FIELD HOCKEY.

IT'S KINDA CONVENIENT,
ISN'T IT?

USING YOUR
COMMUNITY SERVICE

AS A SPRINGBOARD
FOR FINANCIAL GAIN?

MS. BARSTOW,
THERE MUST BE A REASON

WHY YOU CAME
ALL THE WAY ACROSS TOWN

TO HAVE LUNCH.

WE ARE PREPARED
TO MAKE YOU A CONFIDENTIAL,

ONE-TIME-ONLY OFFER
OF 200,000.

AND IF WE DON'T ACCEPT?

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

CREATED IN REVENUES
LAST YEAR?

100 BILLION.100 BILLION. THAT'S RIGHT.

SO YOU DO UNDERSTAND
HOW VIGOROUSLY WE CAN DEFEND A CASE?

YES.
OK.

WELL, THEN,
TELL YOUR CLIENT

THAT HE HAS 48 HOURS
TO DECIDE.

Mrs. Samples:
200,000.

IT'S NOT ENOUGH.

AND--AND--AND WHAT
IF THEY THROW OUT THE CRIMINAL CASE?

YOU COULD GET NOTHING.

WHEN DO WE HAVE
TO RESPOND?

FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

TAKE THE MONEY.

WE HAVE 2 WHOLE DAYS.

LET'S JUST WAIT.

MR. MOONEY, I, UM...

DO NOT HAVE AN OFFICIAL
INTERSTATE COMPACT

FOR PLACEMENT OF
CHILDREN APPROVAL.

WE HAVE GUARDIANSHIP
PAPERS, YOUR HONOR.

MR. GREENWOOD,
ARE YOU EQUIPPED

TO HANDLE THIS BOY
IN YOUR HOME?

HE'S FAMILY, YOUR HONOR.

AS LONG AS THERE
IS NO OBJECTION FROM SOCIAL SERVICES.

NO OBJECTIONS,
YOUR HONOR.

WELL, THEN.

GOOD LUCK, SON.

NEXT CASE.

HUNTER REED
LACKS THE ABILITY

TO REMEMBER
HIS MOTHER'S DEATH

BECAUSE HE IS SUFFERING
FROM POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS SYNDROME.

ACCORDING TO WHOM?

ACCORDING TO
A PSYCHIATRIST--

DR. ANGELA SILVER.
HERE'S HER AFFIDAVIT, YOUR HONOR.

THAT'S HEARSAY,
YOUR HONOR.

SHE'S IN THE GALLERY
IF YOU WANT TO CROSS-EXAMINE HER.

I RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT
THAT A BETTER IDEA

WOULD BE TO PUT
THE BOY ON THE STAND

AND MAKE A FIRSTHAND
DETERMINATION.

EXPERT TESTIMONY
IS PERMISSIBLE

TO DETERMINE COMPETENCY,
YOUR HONOR.

HUNTER REED HAS BEEN
SEVERELY TRAUMATIZED

BY HIS MOTHER'S DEATH.

PLEASE, LET'S NOT
COMPOUND THAT UNNECESSARILY.

HAS THE BOY
BEEN COMMITTED TO A MENTAL INSTITUTION?

NO.

IS HE ATTENDING
SCHOOL REGULARLY?

YES, BUT--

IN FACT, HE EVEN
JOINED THE SOCCER TEAM.

THE DEFENSE WILL BE FREE

TO CALL DR. SILVER
AS A WITNESS

TO QUESTION THE RELIABILITY
OF HIS TESTIMONY AT TRIAL.

RIGHT NOW, HOWEVER,

THE BOY IS THE ONLY
PERSON WE HAVE

WHO CAN ESTABLISH
THE TRUTH OF WHAT HAPPENED TO MRS. REED.

YOU ARE ASKING
AN 11-YEAR-OLD BOY

TO TESTIFY
AGAINST HIS ONLY SURVIVING PARENT

WHERE THE PROSECUTION
IS SEEKING THE DEATH PENALTY.

THAT'S IRRELEVANT.

I AGREE WITH MR. CONNELLY.

AHEM. I WANT TO SEE THE BOY
AT THE PRELIMINARY HEARING.

WE'LL HEAR FIRSTHAND

WHAT HE DOES AND
DOES NOT REMEMBER.

HUNTER'S NOT GONNA
TELL THE TRUTH ON THE STAND.

I THINK HE WILL.

I KNOW HE'S
CLAIMING A MAN BROKE INTO HIS HOUSE

AND ATTACKED
HIS PARENTS.

WAIT A MINUTE.

YOU'RE WORKING WITH
MURRAY, AREN'T YOU?

WE BOTH WANT
THE SAME THING.

AND IF THE CASE
FAILS TO BE DISMISSED

AND DR. REED STANDS TRIAL?

WE CERTAINLY
WON'T SUPPORT HIS INSANITY DEFENSE.

YOU'RE GONNA TRY
AND GET HIM OFF TODAY

THEN TURN AROUND

AND SEND HIM
TO DEATH ROW TOMORROW.

DON'T ACT SO SURPRISED,
MR. FALLIN.

IF BENDAPRINE
WAS YOUR CLIENT,

YOU'D DO THE SAME THING.

WANT TO GET A DRINK?

DID YOU JUST ASK ME OUT?

NO.

I THINK YOU DID.

MS. BARSTOW, BELIEVE ME,

I SPEND ALL DAY
WITH PEOPLE

WHO HAVE STICKS PLANTED
FIRMLY UP THEIR ASSES.

I DON'T NEED TO FILL
MY SOCIAL CALENDAR

WITH ANOTHER ONE.

A STICK UP MY ASS.

HMM.

I THINK YOU WANNA GO.

NO, I DON'T.I THINK YOU DO.

I DON'T.

JUST A FRIENDLY
BUSINESS DRINK.

OH, I DON'T
THINK FRIENDLY IS IN YOUR VOCABULARY.

NO KNIFE.

NO CONFESSION.

YOU KNOW, IF I WERE YOU,
I'D TAKE THE OFFER.

THE BOY WON'T LIE
ON THE STAND.

SO YOU'D PUT
YOUR OWN FATHER

IN THE ELECTRIC CHAIR?

WHY ARE YOU WORKING
FOR YOUR FATHER, ANYWAY?

BECAUSE HE'S
A GREAT LAWYER.

YEAH, BUT, I MEAN,

YOU COULD BE WORKING
IN NEW YORK OR CHICAGO.

SO COULD YOU.

WELL, I GOT MARRIED
IN MY SENIOR YEAR IN COLLEGE.

SO?

SO MY HUSBAND'S
BUSINESS IS HERE.

BARSTOW,
THE BUILDING COMPANY.

THAT'S RIGHT.

WHY DO YOU EVEN WORK?

YOU KNOW...

WE CONSIDERED GETTING
YOUR FIRM KICKED

FOR CONFLICT OF INTEREST,

BUT WHEN I FIGURED OUT
THAT YOU'D BE HANDLING THIS,

I OPTED TO DEAL
DIRECTLY WITH YOU.

I SHOULD BE FLATTERED.

I ONLY DID IT 'CAUSE
I THINK I CAN BEAT YOU.

OK, IF WE WERE PREPARED
TO ADD ANOTHER 100,000,

WOULD YOUR CLIENTS SIGN?

YOU'RE STILL ABOUT
10 MILLION LIGHT.

I GUESS I'LL SEE YOU
AT THE HEARING, MS. BARSTOW.

THANKS FOR THE DRINK.

MR. MOONEY.

HE'S GONE.

WHAT?

HE ASKED IF WE COULD STOP
TO VISIT HIS BROTHER

ON OUR WAY OUT OF TOWN.

WHEN HE GOT OUT
OF THE CAR, HE TOOK OFF.

I JUST SPOKE WITH
MS. BARSTOW--

MR. FALLIN...

HUNTER DIDN'T
COME HOME FROM SCHOOL TODAY.

I'VE DRIVEN
ALL OVER TOWN.

NO ONE KNOWS
WHERE HE IS.

LET'S JUST GO INTO
THE CONFERENCE ROOM

AND MAKE SOME CALLS.

IF I LIE...

MY DAD COMES HOME.

BUT IF I TELL
THE TRUTH,

MY DAD GOES TO JAIL,

AND I GET
A LOT OF MONEY.

THERE'S MORE TO IT
THAN THAT.

IF YOU LIE, YOU HAVE
TO LIVE WITH THAT LIE

FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE,
MONEY OR NO MONEY.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE
SUPPOSED TO HELP ME.

YOU KNOW, THE LAW'S
A LOT EASIER TO UNDERSTAND THAN LIFE.

YOU JUST FOLLOW
PRECEDENTS,

TRY TO INTERPRET THINGS.

IF SOMEONE DIES
WRONGFULLY, YOU CAN SEEK DAMAGES.

THE AMOUNT A PERSON'S
LIFE IS WORTH

CAN BE MEASURED
FINANCIALLY.

IT DOESN'T LEAVE
A LOT OF ROOM

FOR THE WAY PEOPLE FEEL.

I AM SUPPOSED TO HELP.

YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT,

AND I WILL TRY
AND GET IT FOR YOU.

I WANT TO LIVE HERE...

WITH MY DAD.

WE CAN SETTLE THIS CASE.

THAT'LL TAKE SOME
OF THE PRESSURE OFF THINGS.

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

YEAH.

OK.

OK. DONE.

DO YOU THINK THAT
WAS THE WRONG CHOICE?

YEAH, I DO.

OK. I'LL TELL
THE TRUTH.

ANDRE.

ANDRE, OPEN THE DOOR.
I JUST WANNA TALK TO YOU.

JUST A MINUTE.

YOUR UNCLE'S GONNA
STICK AROUND TONIGHT,

BUT IF YOU DON'T
SHOW BY MORNING,

HE'S JUST GONNA GO HOME.

THIS IS IT.

YOU WILL NEVER
GET THIS CHANCE AGAIN.

I DON'T WANNA
GO WITH HIM.

I CAN'T MAKE YOU.

YOU GONNA TELL
SOCIAL SERVICES WHERE I AM?

I HAVE NO CHOICE, ANDRE.

YOU TELL THEM
TO COME GET ME, THEN.

DID YOU ACCEPT?

I HAVEN'T SEEN
MS. BARSTOW YET.

THIS IS OUR LIFE
YOU'RE PLAYING WITH.

I THOUGHT
IT WAS HUNTER'S.

I NEED TO SPEAK
WITH HIM FOR A MOMENT.

READY TO DO THIS?

LOOKS LIKE
THEY WANT TO SETTLE.

YOU KNOW, YOU ARE
TAKING A HUGE RISK HERE.

IF YOUR CLIENTS TOLD YOU
TO ACCEPT OUR OFFER,

YOU ARE OBLIGATED
TO DO SO.

HUNTER'S GONNA
TELL THE TRUTH.

YOU BETTER HOPE SO
'CAUSE IF HE DOESN'T,

YOU COULD BE DISBARRED.

MR. CONNELLY,
YOU MAY REMEMBER ME.

NO.

NICHOLAS FALLIN. YOU
PROSECUTED ME LAST YEAR.

OH.

NICK I-SHOULD-BE-IN-
JAIL-RIGHT-NOW FALLIN.

DON'T BE HARD ON THE KID.

JUST GIVE HIM A CHANCE
TO DO THE RIGHT THING, HUH?

CAN YOU TELL ME
WHAT YOU SAW

WHEN YOU WALKED
BACK INTO THE HOUSE?

A MAN.

HUNTER, UM...

I'M SORRY, I'M HAVING
TROUBLE HEARING YOU.

A MAN.

WHAT MAN?

HE WAS HOLDING A KNIFE.

DID YOU RECOGNIZE HIM?

I COULDN'T.

HE WAS--

MY FATHER WAS LYING
ON THE GROUND...

TIED UP...

AND...

THE MAN THAT
DID THAT TO HIM

WAS WEARING A MASK.

HUNTER...

DO YOU UNDERSTAND
THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN TELLING
THE TRUTH AND A LIE?

TELL THE TRUTH.

MAY I ASK
FOR A BRIEF RECESS

TO CONFER WITH MY CLIENT?

HUNTER, I WANT YOU--

TO TELL THE TRUTH.

A RECESS? YOUR HONOR,
HIS OWN FATHER

HAS JUST ASKED THE WITNESS
TO TELL THE TRUTH.

THERE'S NO REASON
TO RECESS.

TELL THE TRUTH.

HUNTER...

YOU WANT TO GO ON?

MR. FALLIN,
TAKE A SEAT

AND CLOSE YOUR MOUTH.

DO YOU NEED A BREAK,
YOUNG MAN?

WHEN I WENT BACK
INTO THE HOUSE,

I SAW MY FATHER

STANDING
OVER MY MOTHER...

AND HE WAS
HOLDING A KNIFE.

SHE DIDN'T KNOW.

SHE NEVER
TURNED AROUND.

AND THEN...

AND THEN...

JAMES.

GOOD MORNING.

I JUST GOT A CALL
FROM SOCIAL SERVICES.

WHEN THEY WENT TO
PICK UP ANDRE GREENWOOD,

HE HAD A GUN AND 6 VIALS
OF CRACK COCAINE.

YOU STILL MY LAWYER?

NO.

I DON'T HANDLE
DELINQUENCY CASES.

THEY GONNA PUT ME
IN JAIL NOW?

THEY'LL PUT YOU
IN YOUTH DETENTION.

THE SYSTEM ISN'T ABOUT
TO BE LENIENT ON YOU, ANDRE,

NOT NOW THAT
YOU'VE BURNT IT.

I CAN HANDLE THIS.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME.

AS LONG AS I'M WITH
MY BROTHER, I CAN HANDLE ANYTHING.

ANDRE.

LET'S GO.

NO OFFENSE, MISTER,

BUT I NEVER
ASKED YOU TO HELP.

WE'RE THINKING SOMEWHERE
IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $15 MILLION.

UH, THAT'S NEVER
GONNA HAPPEN.

WE'LL SEE.

WE WILL
DEDICATE OURSELVES TO ESTABLISHING MOTIVE.

YOU KNOW YOU
WON'T FIND IT.

DON'T BE SO SURE,
MR. FALLIN.

DON'T BE SO SURE.

THIS WHERE YOU WORK?

YEAH.

YOU LIKE IT?

YOU WANNA TAKE A LOOK?

ALREADY SEEN
YOUR OFFICES.

REALLY?

FALLIN AND ASSOCIATES.

I INTERVIEWED HERE
6 YEARS AGO WHEN I FINISHED NIGHT SCHOOL.

I'M NOT SAYIN'
I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE.

THE GUY HEARD ME OUT.

HE JUST DIDN'T THINK
THAT I COULD...

HANG WITH THE BIG BOYS.

BUT THINGS WORKED OUT
ALL RIGHT--

THE WAY THEY SHOULD HAVE.

I'M DOIN' FINE WHERE I AM.

BELIEVE ME, I'M DOIN' FINE.

SEE YA AROUND.
