DR. SCHREIBER TO NICU. DR. SCHREIBER TO NICU, STAT.

MEG, I WANNA RECUSE MYSELF FROM THIS.

WHY?

MY RECOMMENDATION, IF I WERE TO MAKE IT,

WOULD BE TO TELL THE COURT

TO SUPPORT YOUR HUSBAND'S POSITION.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE ON MY SIDE.

I JUST--I BELIEVE THAT THE LAW

SUPPORTS YOUR HUSBAND'S WISHES.

SO YOU WOULD JUST LET HER DIE?

THE LAW WOULD. I WOULDN'T.

YOU SEE THE PROBLEM?

I'M SO SORRY.

I AM!NO, YOU'RE NOT.

I AM!NO, YOU'RE NOT.

ARE YOU KIDDING? THAT'S WONDERFUL!

ISN'T THAT SO GREAT?

BARBARA, WHAT'S GOING ON?

I'M GETTING MARRIED.

OH, THAT'S GREAT!

HE'S AMAZING.

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU WERE SEEING SOMEONE.

AND I'M PREGNANT!

OH.

GREAT.

WE CAN'T COMPETE WITH THE FOREIGN STEEL PRODUCERS.

WE'RE CARRYING LEGACY HEALTH CARE

AND PENSION OBLIGATIONS

FOR 3 TIMES AS MANY FORMER WORKERS

AS WE CURRENTLY EMPLOY.

WELL, WHAT ABOUT THAT SPECIALTY STEEL IDEA?

TOO EXPENSIVE. NO.

WE HAVE TO SIT DOWN WITH LABOR,

TELL THEM WE NEED $100 MILLION IN CONCESSIONS

OR WE'LL HAVE TO CLOSE THE MT. AIRE WORKS.

SO, WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO?

BURTON, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO PUSHED HARD

FOR THIS REORGANIZATION IN THE FIRST PLACE.

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO HELPED SELL THE WORKERS

ON THE LAST ROUND OF PAY CUTS.

I NEED YOU TO DO IT AGAIN.

DAD?

BURTON?

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

GET HIM SOME WATER AND SOME ASPIRIN.

IS HE HAVING A HEART ATTACK?

FORGET THE ASPIRIN. CAN YOU CALL 911?

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

♪ WELL, THERE IS TROUBLE IN MY MIND ♪

♪ THERE IS DARK

♪ THERE'S DARK, AND THERE IS LIGHT ♪

♪ THERE IS AN ORDER

♪ BUT THERE IS CHAOS

♪ AND THERE IS CRIME

♪ THERE IS NO ONE HOME TONIGHT ♪

♪ IN THE EMPIRE OF MY MIND ♪

♪THERE IS TROUBLE IN MY MIND ♪

♪ ALL THE CHAOS

♪ IN MY MIND

MR. FALLIN, YOU CAN GO IN NOW.

SO THE COWBOY SAID TO THE LAWYER,

"DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE, PARDNER.

IT'S JUST GONNA BE YOU AND ME."

HEY, NICK, COME ON IN.

NICK, SAY HI TO PATTY.

THIS IS MY SON NICK.

HI, NICK. HI.

PATTY'S FROM BETHEL PARK.

PLAYED A LITTLE SOFTBALL, RIGHT?

LISTEN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

OK.

SO, WHAT'S GOING ON?

THE DOCTOR CHECKED ME OVER.

GAS.

GAS?

GAS.

WELL, UM, ARE THEY GONNA LET YOU GO?

I JUST HAVE TO BE DISCHARGED.

SHOULDN'T BE TOO LONG. SIT DOWN A MINUTE.

SO...

A LITTLE EMBARRASSING IN THAT AMBULANCE,

OXYGEN MASK OVER MY FACE,

WORKING OVER ME, THE SIREN, PAIN AND...

I'LL TELL YOU, FOR A FEW MINUTES, I THOUGHT--

MR. FALLIN, YOU'RE FREE TO GO.

OH, THANKS A LOT, ARLENE.

LET'S GO. LET'S GET BACK TO WORK.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

HEY.

ARE YOU OK?

UH, YEAH. FINE.

MY FATHER ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL THIS MORNING.

I THOUGHT HE'D HAD A HEART ATTACK.

OH, MY GOD. IS HE OK?

YEAH, HE'S OK.

IT WAS JUST, UH, IT WAS JUST GAS.

OH.

YEAH. THAT'S GOOD.

YEAH. SO, WHAT'S UP?

UH, WELL, I HAVE THIS CASE--

HADTHIS CASE AS GUARDIAN AD LITEM

FOR A BABY WITH KRABBE'S DISEASE.

NEVER HEARD OF IT.

IT'S TERMINAL, INCURABLE.

THE BABY, HER NAME IS LILY,

SHE'S BRAIN-DAMAGED, AND SHE HAS A WEAK HEART.

SHE GETS PNEUMONIA EVERY FEW MONTHS.

OK.

AND THE PARENTS ARE JUST--

WELL, THEY'RE REALLY GOOD PEOPLE.

THE MOTHER'S AN ARCHITECT,

THE FATHER TEACHES AT C.M.U.

IS THIS A PLACEMENT?

NO, IT'S THAT THE PARENTS DISAGREE

ABOUT LILY'S MEDICAL TREATMENT,

SO THE FATHER WANTS TO TAKE THE MOTHER TO COURT

AND ARGUE HIS POSITION IN FRONT OF JUDGE DAMSEN.

WE'RE REPRESENTING THE BABY'S INTERESTS IN THE HEARING.

AND THE FATHER WANTS A DIFFERENT COURSE OF TREATMENT?

HE WANTS TO LET THE BABY DIE.

AND YOU KNOW, HE'S PROBABLY RIGHT TO DO THIS.

THE HOSPITAL ETHICS BOARD AGREES WITH HIM.

BUT I JUST CAN'T.

I JUST CAN'T IN GOOD CONSCIENCE.

I'M HAVING A LOT OF TROUBLE

GOING BEFORE THE JUDGE AND PLAYING GOD.

RIGHT.

IT'S A BEST INTEREST RECOMMENDATION.

NO, I KNOW THAT, BUT I'VE GROWN

PRETTY CLOSE TO THE MOM.

WELL, DROP THE FILE OFF ON MY DESK,

AND I'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

OK.

SO I'M GLAD YOUR DAD'S OK.

YEAH, IT WAS JUST A LITTLE SCARE.

HE, UH--HE THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA DIE.

HE'S FINE.

THAT'S GOOD. I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

NICK!

OH, WHAT'S THAT FOR?

NICK FALLIN, THIS IS EVAN PUSKARIC.

EVAN, NICK.

YOU'RE BURTON FALLIN'S SON, RIGHT? YEAH.

EVAN AND I ARE GETTING MARRIED.

WOW. UH, CONGRATULATIONS, BARBARA.

YOU KNOW, UH, YOUR DAD AND MY DAD GREW UP TOGETHER.

HE NEVER MENTIONED RED PUSKARIC?

UM...

THE WEDDING'S ON SATURDAY, NICK.

AND, UM, I'M PREGNANT.

WOW, THAT'S, UH, THAT'S--

YOU CAN COME, RIGHT?

SATURDAY?

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. YOU HAVE TO!

HONEY, TELL HIM.

NOT HERE. NO, TELL HIM.

TELL ME WHAT?

UM, YOU GOT A SECOND?

BARBARA'S THE BEST PERSON I'VE EVER MET.

YEAH, SHE'S, UH--

MY DAD'S GONNA HAVE A HEART ATTACK

WHEN HE FINDS OUT YOU AND I RAN INTO EACH OTHER.

HE AND YOUR DAD WERE, UH, PRETTY TIGHT.

WELL, I'LL TELL HIM.

MY DAD HAS CANCER.

CIGARETTES.

YOU KNOW HOW THOSE OLD GUYS LIVE.

YEAH, I'M SORRY.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN DOWN TO MT. AIRE?

SURE.

I REALLY COULDN'T BELIEVE IT EITHER, YOU KNOW?

IT'S LIKE A GHOST TOWN, YOU KNOW?

COULD REALLY USE SOME HELP.

HMM. OK.

SO I'VE GOT THIS IDEA FOR A KIDS' CENTER.

PROVIDE FREE DAY CARE, AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS,

TUTORING, YOU NAME IT.

YOU KNOW, KIND OF GIVE LOCAL FAMILIES A SECOND CHANCE.

GREAT.

I'VE HAD SOME PLANS DRAWN UP

AND IDENTIFIED AN APPROPRIATE SITE.

AND, UH, OH, LAST MONTH CLAYTON STEEL AGREED

TO MATCH ANY FUNDS THAT WE RAISE, SO...

I THINK WE'RE GONNA NEED ABOUT 1.5 MILLION FOR THE PROJECT,

AND HALF OF THAT I NEED TO RAISE

FROM PEOPLE LIKE, UH, YOU AND YOUR FATHER, YOU KNOW?

PEOPLE WHO ARE FROM MT. AIRE.

I'M NOT FROM MT. AIRE.

WELL, NO, I'M SAYING, LIKE, JUST FOR INSTANCE,

IF YOU WERE TO PLEDGE, SAY, $10,000 A YEAR FOR, OH, SAY 5 YEARS--

I'D BE OUT 50 GRAND.

UH, IF YOU DON'T MIND,

UH, COULD YOU GIVE THIS TO YOUR FATHER?

SURE. THANKS.

YEAH. LISTEN, CONGRATULATIONS ON THE ENGAGEMENT.

THANK YOU.

SHE, UH, SHE'S GREAT.

YEAH.

YEAH? HEY.

HEY.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

GOOD. I FEEL FINE.

GOOD.

JUST LOOKING AT THAT OLIVER BUILDING.

THAT'S WHERE I STARTED, YOU KNOW.

FIFTH FLOOR,

NO WINDOW IN MY OFFICE.

YOU KNOW, I MET THIS GUY TODAY FROM MT. AIRE.

YEAH?

HE SAYS HE KNOWS YOU.

EVAN PUSKARIC.

RED'S BOY?

YEAH.

YEAH?

RED PUSKARIC.

BOY, IN HIS DAY...

A LIVING LEGEND.

WE WERE IN NATIONAL GUARD TOGETHER.

PLAYED ON THE SAME DEFENSIVE LINE TOGETHER.

I WASN'T IN HIS LEAGUE.

GOD, I WONDER HOW HE'S DOING.

HE HAS LUNG CANCER.

HUH.

ANYWAY...

HIS SON'S TRYING TO RAISE SOME MONEY FOR THIS THING.

HE, UH, COMES ON VERY STRONG.

CARD'S ON THE TABLE.

TV: AND NOW IT'S TIME TO LOOK AHEAD,

AND WHETHER IT WAS REALISTIC OR NOT,

EXPECTATIONS WITHIN THE STEELER ORGANIZATION THIS YEAR

WERE TO WIN A SUPER BOWL,

AND SINCE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN,

DESPITE AN UNCHARACTERISTIC SPENDING SPREE

BY THE ROONEY FAMILY,

THERE ARE GONNA BE SEVERAL OFF-SEASON ISSUES...

RED?

YEAH, WHAT DO YOU WANT?

BURTON FALLIN.

BURTON FALLIN.

YEAH.

WHAT THE HELL?

YEAH, OUR--

OUR BOYS RAN INTO EACH OTHER THIS MORNING.

I, UM--

I JUST THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS HIGH TIME I CAME BY.

WELL.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU, RED.

YOU WANT A DRINK?

YEAH.

HE HAD A HELL OF AN ARM.

I HAPPENED TO SEE THAT GAME EVAN STARTED FOR NAVY.

SAW HIM TAKE THAT HIT.

HEARD THE BONE BREAK CLEAR UP IN THE STANDS.

EVAN KEPT SAYING IN THE AMBULANCE

HE JUST WANTED TO FINISH THE GAME.

KID NEVER QUITS.

WONDER WHERE HE GOT THAT FROM.

SO HOW'S YOUR BOY?

OH, HE'S A HELL OF A KID, RED.

HELL OF A KID.

HE WORKS WITH ME.

WORKS AT MY FIRM.

HE'S A PARTNER.

A LAWYER, TOO?

YEAH.

HELL OF A KID.

YOU GOT A SMOKE?

I DO.

RED.

WELL, MAYBE I'LL JOIN YOU. HERE YOU GO.

MY SON TAKES MY CIGARETTES ON ACCOUNT OF THE CANCER.

UH-HUH, ARE YOU GETTING TREATMENT OF ANY KIND?

HELL, NO.

I LIKE MY HAMBURGERS,

AND I LIKE MY CIGARETTES AND WHISKEY.

WELL...

I KNOW SOME PRETTY GOOD DOCTORS.

RIGHT, AND I KNOW A GUY WHO WENT TO A DOCTOR,

SAID HE WANTED TO LIVE TO BE 100,

AND THE DOCTOR SAYS, "WELL, DO YOU DRINK OR SMOKE

"OR, UM, SLEEP AROUND

OR EAT TOO MUCH?"

GUY SAYS, "NO, I NEVER DO ANY OF THAT STUFF.

I JUST TAKE GOOD CARE OF MYSELF,"

AND THE DOCTOR SAID--

"SO WHY DO YOU WANT TO LIVE TO BE 100?"

YOU HEARD IT.

OH.

HEY, DAD.

EVAN, THIS IS BURTON FALLIN.

HOW ARE YOU?

IT'S AN HONOR TO MEET YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

I RAN INTO YOUR SON TODAY.

HE'S QUITE A GUY.

OH, THANK YOU. THANK YOU, YEAH.

SO YOU'RE A PARAMEDIC, RIGHT?

ACTUALLY, JUST A VOLUNTEER.

UH-HUH.

DAD DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY ANYBODY, SO--

GOOD.

EVAN'S GETTING MARRIED.

OH? CONGRATULATIONS.

GONNA HAVE A BABY.

REALLY?

THAT'S A BLESSING FOR YOU.

A GRANDDAD.

I GOTTA LIE DOWN.

YEAH, I'VE GOTTA GET GOING, TOO.

IT'S REALLY GREAT TO SEE YOU, RED.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

THANKS FOR COMING BY.

YOU BET.

SO DID NICK TELL YOU WHAT I'M DOING OUT HERE?

YEAH, HE MENTIONED SOMETHING.

I CAME BACK A FEW MONTHS AGO.

I JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT WAS GOING ON

DOWN ON MAIN STREET.

NOT GOOD, IS IT?

EXCUSE ME.

I'M LOOKING FOR RAY HOWARD.

I'M RAY HOWARD.

ARE YOU NICK FALLIN?

YEAH.

THAT'S MY DAUGHTER LILY.

THE DISORDER IS INHERITED.

IT'S AN ENZYME DEFICIENCY

THAT DESTROYS THE INSULATION AROUND HER NERVES.

RIGHT.

ALL THEY CAN REALLY DO IS TREAT HER SYMPTOMS.

THEY STICK NEEDLES IN HER.

THEY, UH, FEED HER THROUGH TUBES,

AND THEY REVIVE HER

WHEN HER BODY JUST WANTS TO LET GO.

THAT'S A LOT OF PAIN FOR A 14-MONTH-OLD BABY TO GO THROUGH.

RIGHT, WELL, UH, THANKS.

I LOVE MY DAUGHTER.

I JUST DON'T THINK THAT MY LOVE SHOULD COME

AT THE COST OF HER SUFFERING ANOTHER DAY.

HE IS SO GREAT,

AND HE'S JUST TERRIFIC WITH RUSSELL.

DID YOU SAY THAT YOU USED TO BABY-SIT FOR HIM?

YEAH, WHEN I WAS A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL,

HE WAS IN THE SEVENTH GRADE,

AND THEN I RAN INTO HIM 4 MONTHS AGO,

AND I STOPPED INTO THIS LOCAL BAR,

AND WE JUST STARTED TALKING,

AND HE HAS THESE GREAT IDEAS.

I MEAN, AT FIRST, HE WAS TALKING TO ME

ABOUT HELPING OUT WITH THE NOT-FOR-PROFIT THING.

SO I SAID I WOULD, AND THEN, UM,

WE STARTED MEETING ABOUT THAT,

AND THEN, WELL,

AND THEN.

AND HOW FAR ALONG ARE YOU?

I'M JUST OVER 12 WEEKS.

OH, BARBARA, IT'S SO EXCITING.

ISN'T IT GOOD? YEAH.

HEY, UM,

I WANT YOU TO BE MY MATRON OF HONOR.

REALLY?

YEAH, OR IS IT MAID?

I DON'T KNOW.

I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM

SINCE I'M NOT DIVORCED YET.

DO YOU GET TO BE A MAID AGAIN,

OR ARE YOU ALWAYS A MATRON?

WELL, IT'S MY WEDDING, MY RULES.

SO YOU CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANNA BE.

I WOULD LOVE TO. THANK YOU.

REALLY? YEAH.

YOU SHOULD BRING A DATE TO THE WEDDING.

OH.

EH, I DON'T KNOW.

NO, YOU SHOULD.

WHO AM I GONNA BRING?

WHO?

COME ON.

WHAT?

HOW LONG ARE YOU PLANNING ON TORTURING HIM?

WHO?

OK, OK.

NEVER MIND. NEVER MIND.

THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. OK.

I JUST FEEL SO STUPID

BECAUSE BRIAN JUST LEFT 3 WEEKS AGO,

AND I HAVEN'T STOPPED THINKING ABOUT...

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, ALL THE TIME.

SO JUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

LISTEN, THERE'S THIS PLACE.

IT'S A NICE PLACE, THIS B&B,

10 MILES FROM THE RECEPTION.

BOOK A ROOM THERE,

AND TAKE HIM THERE AFTER THE WEDDING.

I DON'T KNOW.

LULU, LULU, LISTEN TO ME.

I WAS ALONE FOR A LONG TIME

BEFORE I FINALLY MET EVAN

AND HAD THE GUTS TO DO SOMETHING STUPID.

OK?

SO THE COWBOY SAYS,

"DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE WHAT YOU WEAR.

IT'S JUST GONNA BE YOU AND ME."

THAT'S A GOOD ONE.

THAT'S GOOD.

SO, MR. FALLIN.

BURTON, PLEASE.

BURTON.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I THINK THIS CENTER COULD CHANGE THE FACE

OF THE WHOLE TOWN, YOU KNOW?

WELL, I'LL SURE THINK ABOUT IT.

GREAT.

SO, LISTEN, UH,

IT WAS GREAT SEEING YOUR DAD, YEAH.

AND HE MUST BE VERY PROUD

OF HAVING A SON LIKE YOU.

HOPE SO. YEAH.

COME IN.

YOU WANTED TO SEE ME?

HEY, YEAH, COME ON IN. SIT DOWN.

NICHOLAS, I'VE BEEN-- I'VE BEEN THINKING.

BEEN THINKING ABOUT MY LEGACY.

YOUR LEGACY?

YEAH.

YOU KNOW, MY OLD TOWN IS DYING.

THOSE FAMILIES NEED TO HAVE A CHANCE.

THEY NEED TO HAVE SOMEWHERE TO GO, SOMETHING TO DO.

SO YOU WANT TO HELP OUT AND BUILD THIS CHILDREN'S CENTER?

YEAH.

I WANT TO UNDERWRITE IT.

IT'D BE HALF A MILLION DOLLARS.

SOME OF THAT MONEY WOULD COME OUT OF YOUR INHERITANCE.

YOU KNOW, DAD,

HE CAN'T GET THIS CENTER BUILT

UNLESS CLAYTON KICKS IN MATCHING FUNDS.

I KNOW.

AND IF THEY DECLARE BANKRUPTCY NEXT WEEK?

IT'S WHY I WANT TO DO IT QUICKLY.

IT'S YOUR MONEY.

WELL, I THINK IT'D BE A VERY SPECIAL THING,

SOMETHING WE COULD ALL BE PROUD OF.

GOOD, YEAH.

NICK.

I'M HERE TO SEE YOUR FATHER.

LISTEN, DO YOU MIND STEPPING INTO MY OFFICE FOR A SECOND?

SURE.

I WAS JUST WONDERING--

LISTEN.

I'M AN ANNAPOLIS GRADUATE, OK?

SECOND LIEUTENANT IN THE MARINES,

SERVED IN DESERT STORM.

SIT DOWN.

LED ABOUT 40 MEN IN MY PLATOON.

AFTER THE WAR, I STARTED MY OWN CORPORATE SECURITY COMPANY,

BASICALLY BODYGUARDS WHO UNDERSTAND TECHNOLOGY.

WHY AREN'T YOU DOING THAT NOW?

'CAUSE I SOLD THE COMPANY TO A LARGER OUTFIT

BASED IN GERMANY.

KRAFT GESELLESCHAFT.

RIGHT, OK.

STOCK HASN'T HELD UP TOO WELL,

BUT, UH, I DID ALL RIGHT.

OK, GREAT. WELL, I'D LIKE TO SEE

YOUR BUDGET AND YOUR OPERATING PLAN.

THIS IS FOR YOUR FATHER?

NO.

IT'S FOR ME.

GREAT.

I'LL GET THAT OUT TO YOU FIRST THING TOMORROW.

BARBARA. HEY.

YOU GOT A SECOND?

I, UM--

UH, NOT RIGHT NOW.

I GOTTA MEET EVAN AT THE COURTHOUSE,

UM, FOR THE MARRIAGE LICENSE.

I'LL SEE YA LATER.

HEY, NICK.

UH, DID YOU MEET WITH MEG HOWARD YET?

UH, NO. OH.

COULD I TALK TO YOU FOR A SECOND?

SURE.

SO HOW'S YOUR FATHER DOING?

YOU WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE HOWARD CASE?

UH, YEAH, WELL,

UH, NO.

DO YOU WANT TO GO TO BARBARA'S WEDDING WITH ME ON SATURDAY?

WHAT'S THAT?

SATURDAY, DO YOU WANT TO GO TO BARBARA'S WEDDING?

WELL, OF COURSE, WE'RE ALL GOING.

WITH ME.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

AS MY DATE.

IF YOU WANT.

I THINK, UH--

YES.

YEAH? OK.

GREAT.

WHEN DO I PICK YOU UP?

UM...

NO, I WANT TO DRIVE.

YOU DO?

YEAH, I--I-- I ASKED YOU, SO--

I'LL PICK YOU UP AT 10:00.

GREAT.

I CAN'T GO ASK MY MEMBERS TO TAKE ANOTHER PAY CUT.

WELL, IF THEY DON'T, THE FACTORY'S GONNA CLOSE.

WE GAVE UP MILLIONS OF BENEFITS AND BACK PAY

17 MONTHS AGO.

YOU GOT 30% OF THE FACTORY IN RETURN.

30% OF NOTHING SO FAR.

KEPT YOUR JOBS, KEPT THE PLANT OPEN.

WE TOOK A HUGE PAY CUT

AND HAVEN'T SEEN A DIME IN RETURN.

NEITHER HAS CLAYTON.

LOOK, THE BOTTOM LINE IS,

UNDER THIS PRESENT AGREEMENT,

THE PLANT'S UNPROFITABLE.

IT'S THAT SIMPLE.

YOU WANT AN 11% PAY CUT,

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GIVE US

ANOTHER 20% OF THE FACTORY IN EQUITY.

CLAYTON'S NOT GONNA GO FOR THAT.

I'LL TELL THE MEMBERS WHAT YOU WANT,

BUT I WON'T ENDORSE IT.

OK, WELL, IF THEY DON'T,

PLANT'S GONNA CLOSE.

NO, IT'S NOT.

SO I GOT AN INVITATION TO BARBARA'S WEDDING.

OH, YEAH.

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW SHE WAS SEEING SOMEONE.

YOU KNOW. SHE'S PREGNANT.

SHE'S PREGNANT?

YEAH.

WHOA. DID YOU MEET THE GUY?

WHAT'S HE LIKE?

WELL, I'M DRIVING OUT.

YOU WANT TO GO TOGETHER ON SATURDAY?

I CAN'T.

MRS. HOWARD?

YES?

HI. I'M NICK FALLIN.

LOUISA ARCHER CALLED YOU

ABOUT ME TAKING OVER THE CASE.

HI. HI.

SHE WAS ON MY SIDE, YOU KNOW?

I KNOW.

MR. FALLIN, LOOK, I UNDERSTAND THE LAW

REGARDING BEST INTERESTS FOR CHILDREN.

AGE, LIFE EXPECTANCY,

AMOUNT OF SUFFERING,

VIEWS OF THOSE CLOSE TO THE PATIENT.

THE COURT DOES TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THOSE FACTORS, YES.

YOU'VE SPOKEN WITH MY HUSBAND?

I HAVE.

HE'S GIVEN UP ON HER.

HE'S JUST WEAK.

HE ACTUALLY COMPLAINS THAT HE CAN FEEL LILY'S PAIN,

WHICH IS TOTALLY EGOCENTRIC AND TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE.

WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT LILY'S GOING THROUGH.

WE DO KNOW THAT HER SUFFERING,

IF SHE IS SUFFERING,

IS RELIEVED THROUGH PAIN MEDICATION,

AND THEY COULD COME UP WITH A CURE FOR THIS SOON.

PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE WORKING ON IT.

OK.

OK.

SO HERE'S WHERE I'M CONFUSED, MR. FALLIN,

WITH THE HOSPITAL ETHICS BOARD'S RULING.

LILY'S QUALITY OF LIFE IS RELATIVELY HIGH RIGHT NOW.

SHE HAS ME, I HAVE HER,

AND WE SPEND OUR DAYS TOGETHER.

SHE'S GOT A COMMUNITY OF KIDS SHE LIVES WITH,

CHILDREN LIKE HER WHO STRUGGLE

BUT WHO LIVE.

SO WHAT GIVES THE GOVERNMENT,

THIS HOSPITAL,

OR EVEN MY HUSBAND,

THE RIGHT TO SAY SHE CAN JUST DIE?

LULU?

OH, HEY, BARBARA--

UM, WE'RE STANDING THERE IN FRONT OF THE CLERK,

AND EVAN IS SEARCHING THROUGH HIS BRIEFCASE FOR THE DIVORCE DECREE.

DIVORCE DECREE?

YEAH, HE WAS MARRIED TO THIS WOMAN IN ATLANTA,

AND THEY GOT A DIVORCE ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO,

BUT HE CAN'T FIND THE DECREE,

AND SO EVAN SAYS THAT HE CAN CALL HER UP,

AND THEY CAN SEND IT UP OVERNIGHT.

THEY'RE STILL ON GOOD TERMS.

OK, SO THERE YOU GO.

WELL, IT'S JUST THAT THE LICENSE TAKES 48 HOURS,

SO I HAVE TO GET IT DONE BEFORE TOMORROW MORNING.

OH, DO YOU WANT ME TO GET IT FOR YOU?

COULD YOU? YEAH.

OK, HERE'S EVAN'S SOCIAL SECURITY CARD

IN CASE YOU NEED MORE INFO.

OK.

THANK YOU.

YEAH?

HEY, RED.

HOW ARE YA?

REMEMBER MILT MOSITES, SAL TORRIS?

YEAH, SURE. HOW ARE YA?

WE'LL COME BACK LATER,

BRING YOU THAT STUFF.

GOOD TO SEE YA.

THEY'RE STILL SORE.

OH, YEAH.

WHAT DO YOU GOT THERE?

A COUPLE TAPES I RAN ACROSS,

STEELERS GAMES, FIFTIES AND SIXTIES.

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT GET A KICK OUT OF 'EM.

YOU WANT SOME WATER, RED?

SOME WATER?

MY BODY IS SLOWLY SHUTTING DOWN ON ME.

WHAT'S THE DOCTOR SAY?

THEY WANNA GO IN AND TAKE OUT WHAT THEY CAN.

THEY CAN'T DO MUCH FOR MY LUNGS,

BUT THEY CAN CLEAR OUT MY--

WHATEVER YOU CALL IT.

YOU KNOW, GIVE ME A BAG.

SO THERE IT IS.

A BAG TO CRAP IN.

I'M SORRY, RED.

YOU KNOW, WHEN I FIRST HEARD THE NEWS,

I PUT MY DEER RIFLE UNDER MY BED LOADED.

DECIDED THAT WHEN IT CAME TO THIS,

I'D JUST...

DO EVERYBODY A FAVOR

AND TAKE A RIDE DOWN 51 A WHILE,

PARK THE CAR, TAKE A WALK IN THE WOODS,

JUST TO SAVE THE MESS.

OH, RED.

FUNNY THING.

I CAN'T DO IT.

MY WILL.

I WANNA MEET MY GRANDCHILD.

SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO AHEAD AND HAVE THE OPERATION?

OH.

WHAT ABOUT--WHAT ABOUT THE WEDDING, RED?

IF YOU'RE UP TO IT, I'D BE GLAD TO PICK YOU UP,

TAKE YOU OVER THERE,

BRING YOU BACK--

NO, NO, NO, I--I DON'T WANT TO BE A BURDEN.

IT'S NO TROUBLE, RED.

RED.

IF YOU'RE UP TO IT, I, UH--

I'D LIKE TO DO THAT.

THE HOWARDS GAVE US CONFLICTING INSTRUCTIONS

REGARDING LILY'S TREATMENT.

I TOOK THE CASE TO THE HOSPITAL ETHICS BOARD.

STANDARD PRACTICE.

THE ETHICS BOARD AGREES WITH RAY HOWARD.

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, YES.

WELL, HOW DID THEY COME TO THAT DECISION?

WELL, WE TAKE INTO ACCOUNT

WHETHER OR NOT THE ILLNESS IS TERMINAL,

WHETHER THE PATIENT WILL DIE WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR.

WE WEIGH THE IMPACT OF THE CARE ON THE FAMILY,

AND WE ASK OURSELVES IF TREATMENT CAN IMPROVE

HER PROSPECTS FOR LIVING OR QUALITY OF LIFE

OR IF IT SIMPLY PROLONGS HER SUFFERING.

IF YOU WERE TO STOP TREATMENT RIGHT NOW,

HOW MUCH LONGER WOULD SHE LIVE?

SHE'LL BE FINE UNTIL SHE GETS PNEUMONIA AGAIN

OR HAS A SEIZURE.

AT THAT POINT, WE'D ALLEVIATE HER PAIN,

BUT SHE WOULD GO IN A FEW DAYS

OR EVEN HOURS.

NICK.

EVAN TOLD BARBARA THAT HE WAS MARRIED ONCE.

SO?

SO I CHECKED HIM OUT,

AND HE WAS ACTUALLY MARRIED TWICE,

ONCE TO THIS WOMAN IN ATLANTA

THAT BARBARA DOES KNOW ABOUT,

AND ONCE TO SOME WOMAN IN WHEELING, WEST VIRGINIA.

HER NAME'S MELISSA BUCKLEY.

WHERE'D YOU GET THIS?

IT WAS PART OF THE FILE FROM THE COURT IN GEORGIA.

THEY FAXED IT TO ME.

HE NEVER TOLD HER, HUH?

NO. SHE HAS NO IDEA.

WHY WOULD HE LIE ABOUT IT?

I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? YOU THINK I SHOULD STAY OUT IT?

NO. I THINK YOU SHOULD TELL HER.

CAN I MAKE A COPY OF THIS?

YEAH.

HEY, YOU TWO.

HEY.I CAN COME BACK.

NO, NO, NO.

I WAS JUST-- JUST GOING.

SEE YA.

YEAH.

UH, SO?

SO, IT'S ALL SET.

IT IS?YEAH, EVERYTHING'S DONE.

I FILED IT WITH THE COURT.

OH, MY GOD.

BY THE WAY, UH, I HEARD A RUMOR.

YOU DID?

MM-HMM,

THAT NICK HAS A DATE TO THE WEDDING.

OH, YEAH.

HEY, I CALLED THAT PLACE, TOO, THAT YOU SUGGESTED,

AND I GOT US A--

YEAH, IT'S KIND OF CRAZY, ISN'T IT?

HE'S GONNA BE SO MUCH TROUBLE.

GOOD FOR YOU.

MR. FALLIN.

OH, EVAN.

HOW ARE YA? COME ON IN.

I WAS--HERE. SIT DOWN HERE.

THANK YOU.

I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT YOU.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

GOOD.

SO...

SO, UM,

THERE HAVE BEEN RUMORS

ABOUT THE CLAYTON PLANT.

OH, YEAH, RIGHT.

SOME OF THE WORKERS HAVE HEARD

THAT MANAGEMENT MAY ASK FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF CUTBACKS.

WELL, I'M NOT AT LIBERTY TO DISCUSS--

WELL, THE THING IS, MR. FALLIN, UM,

IF THE MILL FAILS,

THEN THE CHILDREN'S CENTER,

EVERYTHING,

I MEAN, I WON'T BE ABLE TO PROCEED WITH MY PLANS,

AND THE TOWN--

I UNDERSTAND, YEAH.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I WAS COUNTING

ON CLAYTON DONATING NEARLY $1 MILLION.

YEAH, I JUST CAN'T--

I CAN'T DISCUSS THE--

WELL, MR. FALLIN, I KNOW THAT I PITCHED A DIFFERENT PLAN,

AND I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER SPONSOR LINED UP YET,

BUT I STILL FEEL THAT THIS CENTER

WILL HAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON THIS TOWN,

NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TO THE MILL.

WELL--

I MEAN, IF CLAYTON PULLS OUT,

CAN I STILL COUNT ON YOU?

ANSWER'S YES.

MATTER OF FACT, HERE'S MY FIRST INSTALLMENT.

NOW LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE ADVICE.

IF I WERE YOU, I'D GET CLAYTON TO MATCH THAT

AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

YOU UNDERSTAND?

YES, SIR. OK.

WHEN A PATIENT IS DYING,

CAREGIVERS SHOULD ULTIMATELY FOCUS ON CARE, NOT CURE.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR.

MR. FALLIN, YOUR RECOMMENDATION?

I'D LIKE TO MAKE IT UNDERSTOOD TO THE FAMILY

THAT THE ONLY REASON I EVEN HAVE TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION

IS BECAUSE THE PARENTS CANNOT AGREE.

THEY'RE AWARE.

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO KNOW LILY'S WISHES.

THE ISSUE BEFORE ME IS SIMPLY THE FACTS OF HER CASE,

WHICH I'VE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION.

HOW CAN DEATH BE IN LILY'S BEST INTEREST?

MRS. HOWARD.I'M SORRY.

YOU SAY YOU'RE HERE ONLY TO DETERMINE BEST INTEREST,

BUT WHAT YOU'RE REALLY DECIDING

IS WHETHER MY DAUGHTER LIVES OR DIES.

MRS. HOWARD, PLEASE.JUST BE HONEST.

MY DAUGHTER'S LIFE IS AT STAKE HERE.

MRS. HOWARD.

MR. FALLIN?

IT IS MY BELIEF

THAT LILY HOWARD'S BEST INTERESTS

ARE BETTER SERVED BY ALLEVIATING HER PAIN,

BUT DOING NOTHING MORE THAN THAT.

THIS IS NOT AN EASY THING TO DO,

BUT UPON READING THE ETHICS BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION

AND HEARING TODAY'S TESTIMONY,

I AM IN AGREEMENT WITH MR. FALLIN'S RECOMMENDATION.

THEY'LL--

THEY'LL LET HER DIE.

THEY'LL LET HER DIE.

THEY'LL LET HER DIE!

PLEASE, MEG, PLEASE.

THIS IS FOR THE BEST.

OH, FOR YOU!

THIS IS NOT FOR LILY.

THIS IS FOR YOU,

SO THAT YOU CAN MOVE ON AND LEAVE US.

THIS IS NOT FOR LILY.

THEY'LL LET HER DIE.

MISSY BUCKLEY?

CAN I HELP YOU?

YEAH, HI. MY NAME IS NICK FALLIN,

AND I JUST WANTED TO ASK SOME QUESTIONS

ABOUT YOUR EX-HUSBAND.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO EVAN IN YEARS.

WELL, HE'S BEEN HIDING THE FACT

THAT HE WAS MARRIED TO YOU,

AND I WAS JUST WONDERING WHY.

NICK.

EVAN.

I SPOKE WITH MISSY BUCKLEY.

SHE TOLD ME ABOUT A FEW THINGS,

AND THEN, AFTER THAT, I CALLED YOUR SECOND WIFE,

WHO TOLD ME A VERY SIMILAR STORY.

RIGHT. YEAH.

YOU GIVE MY FATHER HIS MONEY BACK.

I'M NOT TRYING TO CHEAT YOUR FATHER, MAN.

AND I THINK YOU OWE IT TO BARBARA

TO TELL HER THE TRUTH, DON'T YOU?

OR I WILL.

I LOVE BARBARA,

AND I ADMIRE YOUR FATHER,

BUT WHEN I SAY I'M GONNA DO SOMETHING,

I DO IT.

YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

NO, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

OK, LOOK, LOOK. PLEASE, NICK.

JUST PLEASE GIVE ME A CHANCE, OK?

NOW LISTEN, I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST

IS THE PAST, AND IT--

EVAN, I'M DONE HERE.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW? HUH?

WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

GROWING UP THE WAY YOU DID.

EVERYTHING BEING HANDED TO YOU.

I WATCHED PEOPLE DIE, OK?

AND IT BOTHERED ME.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT GOING TO WAR?

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT BEING OF SERVICE?

I'M SORRY...

BUT YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO INTRUDE.

I'M GONNA BE A FATHER,

AND I'M GONNA MAKE A LIFE FOR MYSELF HERE.

YOU UNDERSTAND?

I STOPPED BY YOUR HOUSE.

HEY.

OH, YEAH.

JUST HAD SOME WORK TO DO, SO--

LOOK, ABOUT THE CHILDREN'S CENTER--

YEAH?

EVAN PUSKARIC.

I FOUND SOME THINGS OUT.

FOUND OUT?

YEAH, HE'S NOT WHO HE SAYS HE IS.

HE WASN'T A WAR HERO.

HE WAS MEDICALLY DISCHARGED AFTER A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN.

HE'S BEEN MARRIED BEFORE.

BOTH TIMES, HE TOOK HIS WIFE'S FAMILY'S MONEY.

WELL...

YEAH, SO, UH--

WAIT A MINUTE. WHAT MAKES YOU--

WHAT LED YOU TO FIND OUT ABOUT ALL OF THIS?

WELL, MOSTLY BARBARA...

AND YOU.

ME?

YEAH, COME ON, DAD.

YOU KNOW, I MEAN, SINCE YOUR HEALTH SCARE

AND STUFF WITH CLAYTON,

YOU HAVEN'T EXACTLY BEEN YOURSELF.

HMM.

THE THING IS, NICHOLAS, UM,

BACK IN THE FIFTIES,

WE WERE IN THE SAME NATIONAL GUARD UNIT,

AND WE GOT CALLED UP.

MY FATHER WAS SICK,

MY MOTHER WAS TAKING CARE OF HIM,

SO THEY GAVE ME A HARDSHIP EXEMPTION,

BUT, UH...

RED WENT TO KOREA.

I STAYED HOME.

WHEN HE CAME BACK, HE WAS...

SHOT TO HELL.

A GOOD MAN WITH A GREAT FUTURE.

COMES BACK TO NOTHING BUT LONG RECOVERY

AND A LOT OF DRINKING.

NEVER CAME BACK.

YOU DON'T OWE HIM.

PROBABLY RIGHT.

I'LL JUST GET THE CHECK BACK.

HE'S GETTING MARRIED TOMORROW,

BUT I'LL--

I'LL GET THE CHECK BACK ON MONDAY.

YOU OK?

YEAH, I'M FINE.

I'M--I'M JUST NOT USED TO BEING A PASSENGER.

OH.

YEAH, YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE I--

YOU REALLY HAVEN'T SAID A WORD ALL MORNING, SO...

DO YOU THINK THAT THIS IS WEIRD OR--

IT'S A LITTLE WEIRD.

GOOD WEIRD, BUT, UH...

YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

YOU KNOW,

IT'S GOOD THAT WE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.

SHE LOVES HIM,

AND THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A BABY.

AND WHAT IF WE'RE WRONG?

AND HE REALLY DOES LOVE HER, AND, YOU KNOW...

WE WOULD HAVE RUINED THE WHOLE THING.

EVAN.

ARE YOU OK?

I WANT TO BE A GOOD HUSBAND,

A GOOD FATHER.

YOU WILL BE.

I WANT TO BE TRUE.

EVAN?

YOU KNOW, WHEN I--

WHEN I CAME HOME TO BE WITH MY FATHER--

TO TAKE CARE OF HIM, RIGHT?

WELL, I--

I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ANYWHERE ELSE TO GO.

I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING THAT WOULD IMPRESS HIM BEFORE HE, UH--

BEFORE HE...

I NEVER TOLD MY FATHER THIS, BUT, UH...

WHEN I WAS IN KUWAIT,

I TRIED TO DESERT.

I HAD MY MEN.

WE'D BEEN IN THE SAND FOR ABOUT A WEEK.

WE WEREN'T EVEN FACING FIRE.

AND I PANICKED.

I PANICKED, AND I FELL APART.

THEY PUT ME IN A PSYCH WARD.

WHEN I CAME BACK, I--

I LIED ABOUT THE TREATMENT I HAD TO UNDERGO.

I LIED ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS.

I'VE BEEN MARRIED TWICE,

NOT ONCE.

THE FIRST TIME BEFORE KUWAIT,

THE OTHER IN ATLANTA.

TWICE?

AND THERE WAS MONEY PROBLEMS

WITH THE FAMILIES AND WITH ME.

THESE WOMEN HAD, UH...

PRETTY WEALTHY FATHERS.

THEY GAVE ME MONEY TO START BUSINESSES,

BUSINESSES THAT NEVER WORKED.

SO I WASTED THEIR MONEY

TRYING TO LOOK SUCCESSFUL.

AND WHEN THE MONEY RAN OUT...

I LEFT.

WHY DID YOU DO IT?

'CAUSE I FAILED, HONEY.

I JUST...

I FAILED.

I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A FOOTBALL STAR,

A WAR HERO.

I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SOMETHING.

BUT I GUESS I'M NOT.

SOMETHING BETTER.

I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SOMETHING BETTER.

EVAN.

DO YOU LOVE ME?

YEAH.

EVAN.

THIS TIME...

YOU WILL BE.

SO THE COWBOY SAYS TO THE LAWYER,

"THERE'S GOING TO BE DRINKING AND DANCING,

FIGHTING, SCREWING."

AND THE LAWYER SAYS,

"SOUNDS GREAT TO ME,

BUT WHAT DO I WEAR?"

WHAT? YOU ALL RIGHT?

SIT DOWN. SIT DOWN.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH.

AND DON'T FORGET,

YOU'VE GOT TO DANCE WITH THE BRIDE.

I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE TOLD HER, BUT...

THERE'S JUST SOME THINGS I DON'T LIKE TO GET IN THE MIDDLE OF.

LIKE THE HOWARD CASE?RIGHT.

THAT'S WHY YOU GAVE IT TO ME?

YEAH. YOU'RE DIFFERENT.I'M DIFFERENT?

YEAH. I DON'T THINK YOU GET AS CAUGHT UP IN THESE THINGS.

RIGHT. HUH.

WHY? DID IT BOTHER YOU IN COURT THE OTHER DAY?

IT--IT AFFECTED ME, YEAH.

I, UH, I MAY NOT SHOW MY FEELINGS TO EVERYONE,

BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I'M NOT AFFECTED BY THINGS.

I FEEL THINGS.

YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD.

WE'RE FORCED TO MAKE DECISIONS

BASED ON WHAT IS IN FRONT OF US.

IT'S TRUE.

OTHERWISE, WE'RE PARALYZED.

I'M KIND OF NERVOUS ABOUT THIS,

BUT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU.

I GOT US A PLACE TO GO AFTER THE WEDDING.

YOU GOT A PLACE?

YEAH, A PLACE TO GO...

AFTER THE WEDDING.

I JUST--UM.

AND IT'S NOT LIKE ME, USUALLY.

I JUST LEAVE THESE THINGS UP TO FATE.

OR TO SOMEONE ELSE.

NO, UP TO FATE.

BUT THIS TIME, IT'S UP TO ME.

OK.

WELL, UH, THIS PLACE TO GO, DID YOU THINK TO--

AHEM.

DID YOU GET A LATE CHECK-OUT?

VERY FUNNY.

UNH!

BARBARA?

YEAH.

YOU OK?

YEAH. IT'S A CRAMP. NERVES.

UM, HAVE YOU SEEN LULU AND NICK?

NO.

WELL, WE CAN'T START WITHOUT LULU.

I'LL GO CHECK.

THANKS.

HEY.

HEY.

OH, GOD.

LULU.
