Listen, thanks, man.

I've been sitting
in here all night,

and I don't know anybody
else in this city,

other than Louisa,

and you're
a lawyer--

what happened?

Well...

All right, I was driving in from
Columbus last night, right?

For the engagement party.

I was gonna surprise
Louisa a day early,

and when I got in town and
called her, she was out,

so I went to grab a
drink and had a few,

and when I was sitting at the
bar, I bumped into this girl.

We started talking.

You didn't know
she was a hooker?

I'll find out when you're supposed
to go in front of the judge.

And I'll see what I can do.

Paul: We just have to ask
a few preliminary questions

regarding your application
to the federal bench.

Name and date of birth?

Burton fallin.
September 13, 1933.

Are you married?

I was--
August 16, 1965.

Have you been divorced?

I am divorced, in 1980.

Children?

I have one son--
Nicholas, 32.

He works as an associate
in my law firm.

Morning, Gretchen.

Dale.

I talked to Alvin Masterson.

Yeah?

Says you missed
2 meetings last week.

Yeah, I had
a very big case here,

and a lot of work
at the clinic.

2 meetings in one week?

It won't happen again.

New York City, march 22.

Yeah.

Nick, you left the state.

It was a business meeting.
I flew in for 2 hours.

That's 3 technical
violations, Nick.

3.

When you first
came into my office,

I thought you were
the least of my problems.

But I get these reports,
and I start to think

there must be other violations,
so I check around,

and you know what?
I find a lot more.

A fight at the incline
at 2:00 in the morning.

The incline, as I recall,

is a drinking establishment.

So it's my guess
that you were drinking.

Dealings with several
legal services clients

who are known
drug users and felons,

and no reports to me
about these relationships.

Let's go to your office.

You know you got your periodic
review coming up on Friday?

Yes, I know.

My girlfriend.

I was
her probation officer, too.

That's how we met.

I helped her through
a tough time in her life,

and we kind of fell in love.

Anyway, she's
in this line of business.

She works as an entertainer,

and she and I were thinking
about becoming proprietors.

Great.

Here's the thing.

There's a liquor license
involved here,

and Mandy's got
a drug conviction,

so I've got to buy the license,

which is almost as expensive
as the building.

And we got a lot of forms
and legal stuff

we don't understand:
A contract--

you need help?

If you're offering, yeah.

Don't do that.

Excuse me?

If you have a problem with me

or the way I'm handling
my probation,

then tell the judge,

and we'll sort it out in court.

Well, if that's the way
you want to play it...

You may not like
what I have to say

to judge handley on Friday.

Is there any information that
may reflect adversely on you

in connection with your nomination
for the federal judiciary?

Not that I know of.

Any business partner
or family member

who has had problems
with the law?

If you're talking
about my son...

He has a criminal record?

He was convicted

of a misdemeanor
drug possession charge

and sentenced to probation
and community service,

but, as I say, he's got
that under control now.

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.

[Indistinct chatter]

Masterson...

You spoke
to my probation officer?

Excuse me?

You told him about the
meetings I missed?

I've got to report
into the probation department.

Nick, it's part
of the requirement.

Lulu: Hey, Nick!

Come here. You want to
hear something funny?

[Muttering] Why not?

So I was just sitting
with this wedding planner,

and, uh...
Ugh...A wedding planner.

Um, she starts asking me

whether or not I want swans

to swim in the pool
at Brian's country club.

Swans.

Yeah, swans.

And then she goes on to say

that they do occasionally
make a little bit of poo-poo

in the pool.

And I started laughing,

and she gave me a look,

and it made me laugh
even harder.

Oh...She quit.

And she's a friend
of Brian's family,

and he's gonna be kind of mad
when he gets into town tomorrow.

Well, I'm sure
he'll forgive you.

Oh, anyway, my friend Kate
is throwing us

an engagement party
this Friday night,

and I'd really
like for you to come.

This is a termination
of parental rights petition.

Yeah.

[Cracks knuckles]

When did you receive it?

Last week.

Says you've just been
released from prison.

Mm-hmm. 4 months ago.

I was in
for third-degree murder.

Uh, Mr. hinkins, did you
continue to keep up contact

with your daughter?

Yeah. I called
twice a week,

wrote 4 times a month,
sent gifts.

And since you've been
released from prison?

I got a job, an apartment
in her school district,

I've met all
my parole requirements.

Ok.

My ex-wife and her new husband
won't let me see Tess,

my daughter.

Last time I go over there,

my ex-wife comes out
and tells me

her new husband's
adopting Tess,

they're moving to Minnesota,

and I should get the hell
out of there,

or she's calling the cops.

Then I got that form
in the mail.

Well, the hearing's
tomorrow morning.

I'll meet you
outside the courtroom.

Thanks for
bringing him by, man.

No problem.

Smoking pot in my house

with a 19-year-old girl?

Come in my office.

You are under home detention.

Do you know what that means?

If that truant officer
hadn't known me,

he'd have called
the police instead.

You'd have ended up in
youth detention instantly.

I'm not messing
around here, levi.

You've been living with me
for less than a month,

and I've already
let things slide.

You're not gonna
call the cops, are you?

I got a full day ahead of me.

You're gonna sit here
until I'm done.

What, in your office?

Until I'm done,
you're not moving.

I don't want you going to the
bathroom without asking me.

Uncle James, man, you--

don't you move.

Burton: Richard Stanton was
a fair, solid guy,

who could laugh at a joke

and wasn't afraid to have
a drink in the afternoon.

He loved the pirates...

And he, uh...
He loved his family.

So it's my honor
to be the first person

to call this space the, uh...

Judge Richard Stanton
courtroom.

[Applause]

I appreciate
your being here, Nicholas.

Well, you did a good job.

Yeah? I was
a little nervous.

It didn't show.

Really?

Yeah. Dad, uh...

My probation officer's
probably gonna write me up

on a couple
of technical violations.

I have a hearing in front of
judge handley this Friday.

God...

Listen,
this federal bench thing.

Yeah?

You still want to do it?

Yeah.

Man: Burton, Burton fallin.
Great job.

Hey, how are you, Ralph?

Good to see you.
Thanks for coming.

[Woman laughing]

Sorry I'm late.

Hey! Nick fallin,
Mandy gressler.

Nick's volunteered
to help out with the deal.

[Clears throat]

You're a lawyer?

Yes.

I hope you know
what you're doing.

We can buy the building
for $100,000.

The liquor license
is gonna be another 75.

Who's financing this?

I got my loan
through bellefield union.

And I got
the other half covered.

This is a nice place, mister...

Fallin.

Dale tell you who we're
doing business with?

No.

Lenny getkin.

He's not the type of guy

who hires expensive
lawyers to do his deals,

if you know what I mean.

No, I don't.

Well, if I were you, I'd
walk in with one of these...

[Mandy giggles]

Instead of that pen.

Petrocki:
Come on.

She's kidding.

Here's the contract.

Well, this requires you to
put 4,000 down in good faith

and carries
a 10-day escrow.

Ok.

Not really.

10 days is not long enough
to perform the due diligence,

particularly
with the liquor license.

Mandy's already taken care
of all that.

I've arranged all the
physical inspections,

checked out the permits,

the parking, and the kitchen.

It's all set.

[Petrocki laughs]

All except the liquor license.

I do more than just take off
my clothes, Mr. fallin.

[Chuckling]

You're buying a strip club?

A gentlemen's club.

Oh, sorry.

[Indistinct chatter]

So where's
this baby-sitter?

Don't worry.
He'll be here.

Not him.

Him.

Ha ha ha!

Jimmy!

Ha ha! My man,
my man.

Hey, you lookin' good,
man, real good.

Well, I'm hittin'
the gym a little.

I'm benchin' 225.

You look good, too, Jimmy.

Thanks, man.

Yeah. [Chuckles]

This the boy?

Yes. Toph...Levi.
Levi, toph.

What up, toph?

You'll call me
"Mr. Nance."

Sorry I'm late, James.
I stopped by his school.

What was you doin'
at my school, man?

Was I speakin' to you?

No. Then don't
be jawbonin'.

I got the assignments
he missed today.

They're gonna send us both e-mails
whenever he has homework.

Thanks, man.

This sucks.

Where you goin', jawbone?

I'm about to go
hang out with some friends.

No, no, no. Only friend
you got to worry about

is right here, levi.

You got that?

Yeah.

You got busted for pot.

You run with drug people,

it's only a matter of time

before you're all
in jail or dead.

So what you want me to do, man?

Just say no?

He's a funny boy.

How old are you, jawbone?

17.

Mmm. Summer
I was 17,

got pretty friendly with
this white guy, Steve,

who always had good drugs.

Labor day weekend, he has a
party that just won't quit--

girls comin' and goin', kegs.

We barbecuin'
and playin' records.

And at that party,
this other guy, dancer,

starts pushin' Steve around.

And I pull dancer off, you know,
'cause I think Steve is my friend.

And we get into it.

And dancer reaches into his
pocket and points a gun at me.

I reach out to push it away.

And it goes off.

I look down, and damn if
there isn't a hole in me.

Steve and all those guys I thought
were down with me, they run.

I'm dyin', and they run 'cause
they think the cops are comin'.

And so what happened?

Bullet went through my gut...

Into my spine.

I'm not gonna walk again.

I take a dump
in a colostomy bag.

I can't even feel
my own Johnson.

'Cause I was a badass.

Went to stick up
for my boys. Heh heh.

Now, you got assignments

in American history
and algebra ii, jawbone.

After we eat, we go
back to my house...

And you do them.

You got a problem?

No. N-no, I don't got
a problem, Mr. Nance.

Good.

All right.

Levi, what do you want to eat?

Nothin', uh...
I'm not hungry.

No, no. You got
to eat somethin'

so you can concentrate
on your homework.

Uh, uh...Yeah.
Get them, uh, chicken fingers.

They got a lot
of protein in them.

Are they gonna publish
my name in a newspaper,

or, uh...Put my picture on
a web site or somethin'?

What happens next?

Trial's set for July 10th.

Oh, can't we get that
resolved sooner?

You can try to plead out.

Well, can you
help me with that?

You're gonna need to hire
a criminal attorney.

I mean, I don't want to get
anybody else involved in this.

I mean, if Lulu finds
out about this, Nick...

It would kill her.

Ok. Come on.

Let me pay you for doin' this.

Let's--

Paul:
You did well, Burton.

The committee was impressed.

Oh. Good, good.

Tell you the truth, I
was a little surprised

they wanted to meet with me.

They were impressed.

Good.

So, what, uh...

What's next?

This is
a political appointment,

so you have to be ready
to get political.

Well...I understand.

You should consider
the members of your firm

that might hurt your chances

and look at any
organizations you belong to

or habits you have that may make
you vulnerable to scrutiny.

You have something
in mind, tom?

Bob dole quit smoking
when he ran for president.

[Chuckles] Well, I'm not, uh...

I'm not running for president.

But you may run
into tobacco issues.

Oh, that's a lot of crap.
What--what else?

Riverbrook country club.

Been a member there...

30 years.

No Jews,
no African-Americans,

and a gender bias
against women.

Oh, tom.

You can't be serious.

One of your associates...
Sylvia doucette.

Yeah?

What do you think of her?

She's good.

Real estate attorney.
Does a good job for us.

Is she partner material?

Possible, but
we're not planning

to add any new partners
until next year.

Sylvia doucette is very active

in the allegheny
county bar association.

She has good contacts
in the mayor's office.

Yeah, I know.
I understand, tom,

but you're, uh...

You're not pushing her on me because
she's a black woman, are you?

She graduated third
in her law class at Cornell.

She's reputed to be
a top-drawer negotiator,

and as it happens,
if she were a partner,

the judiciary appointment
committee will never have to ask

why all your partners
are straight white men.

Because they won't be.

Right. Right.

[Sighs]

Mandy: I know what you're
thinking, Mr. fallin.

But everything's
gonna change...

The carpet, the stage,
the sound system.

I'm gonna buy a bunch of nagel prints
and hang 'em all over the club.

Isn't she something?

This place is gonna be great
when she gets done with it.

Lenny.

This is our lawyer.

Nick fallin.

Fancy outfit.

You, too.

So, where we at?

My, uh, clients
have agreed to the 175.

What? Sorry.
I couldn't hear you.

My clients have agreed
to the 175.

Ok!

So before we
make this official,

I need to see your books.

No, I'm not gonna do that.

Well, how do we know
what your numbers are?

You do the math.

Uh...

Mr. getkin...

Lenny.
Lenny.

You won't show us your books,

and you can't prove to us
what your revenue stream is,

so we can't give you
what you're asking for.

Tell you what,
I'll open my books

if your clients
sign the contract.

What?

I'll open my books...

If your clients...

[Louder] Sign the contract.

No. Can't do that. If they sign the
contract, then you get the hand money.

That's the way it works.

No.

It's not.

Can't we work somethin' out?

I wouldn't sign.

What am I on the
hook for if I sign?

The complete deposit--
$4,000.

[Chuckles]

What the hell, huh?

[Giggles]

Huh?

[Laughing]

Let's do this thing.

It's called a culotte steak.

Only place in town they
serve this particular cut.

What do you think?

It's fine.

Mr. fallin, what's up?

Well, I just wanted
a chance to tell you

how much I admire
your professionalism

and tell you that your
contribution to the firm is, uh...

Outstanding.

Thank you.

We're thinkin' about the next
generation of management...

So I was lookin' around,
and I thought, um...

Sylvia doucette.

What's on your mind, Burton?

We had a meeting of the
partnership committee last night.

We'd like to make you
a non-equity partner.

Non-equity.

Yeah.

The same as equity,

except you don't get to
share in the profits

of the firm and you
don't get to vote

on major decisions, but...

[Chuckling] Other than that...

"Other than that."

No, it's a...
It's a stepping stone.

Gives us a chance to see how
you perform on the next level.

Everything goes well,
you could be

an equity partner next year.

A lot of firms do this.

Your firm doesn't.

Sylvia, this is, um...

This is an excellent
opportunity.

For you.

I've heard
about the federal bench,

and I've looked around
at a lot of the associates.

And the only other woman quit,

and you and I both know the
only other person of color,

Pete marston, is a goof.

You want to make me a partner,
make me a partner.

Yummy.

[Chuckles]

Lulu: Mrs.
stowe, why do you want to terminate

your ex-husband's
parental rights?

Lawrence is Tess' dad now,
not Bobby.

Lawrence has been there for her,
supported her financially,

and been a great dad to her.

And Tess loves Lawrence
like a father.

How does Tess feel
about Mr. hinkins?

She's afraid of him.
She knows what he did

and how he was before
he went to prison.

She's afraid to be around him.

Are there any other reasons
for doing this?

Lawrence got a job
at 3-m in Minnesota.

We want to move there
as a family.

Unless Bobby's rights
are legally terminated,

of course, Lawrence
can't adopt her.

And how will terminating Bobby's
rights affect Tess' life?

It won't. He's never had
a hand in raising her.

He never sees her.
She never speaks to him.

No further questions.

Mrs. stowe,
you said, uh...

Bobby plays no role
in Tess' life.

Yes.

Isn't that because
you won't let him?

He's not a good influence.

Last week he called
to talk to Tess 11 times.

Did you let him?
No.

He stopped by in person 4
times in the last month,

twice with gifts, right?

Yes.

Did you let him see her?

No.

Did you let her know that
he stopped by to see her?

No.

Did you at least
give her the gifts

that he left for her?

He killed 2 men in a bar.

He's a violent man
who should not be around...

Did you give Tess the gifts
that he left for her?!

No!

Mr. hinkins,
since you were released,

what have you done to be able

to support Tess
and spend time with her?

I got a job, which,
after 90 days,

has a health insurance plan
that kicks in.

And I got an apartment--
2 bedroom, one bath.

It's in the same school
district she'd go to

if she was in public school.

Were you close to your daughter

before you went to prison?

I'm not gonna lie.

I was a drunk,
and I had some problems.

But when I was with her,
I did hold her.

And I made money
to take care of her.

And I made sure she was safe.

No further questions.

Mr. hinkins,
from June 4, 1994,

until march 11th of this year,

you were unable to see Tess.
Is that correct?

That's correct.

Is it true that Philip
nespor, age 21,

and Hank thumann, age 30,

were killed by you
in a bar fight?

Objection!
Relevance.

It goes to parenting ability.

Overruled.

You may answer.

It's true.

Is this a photograph
of the crime scene?

Objection.
More prejudicial than probative.

We're establishing grounds to
terminate his parental rights.

Overruled.

That's it.

That's it.

This the file?
I'll take a look at it.

Ok?

Toph. Give me a second.
Yeah, sure, no problem.

What happened?

Yesterday,

comes over, does the
assignment, no problem.

Today he just had a story
to read for English. Ok?

So he says he read it.

He splits. No problem.

I got a chronic pain
from the bullet

that I treat
with painkillers, ok?

And a half hour
after he leaves,

I get a flare, and I
go to my bathroom.

He's cleaned me out.

He stole
your prescription drugs?

Sure did.

He'll get about 500 bucks
for them on the street.

Hi, Tess.

Hi.

That's a nice purse.

Thank you.

Where'd you get it?

My mom's husband Lawrence.

Tess, how often does
your father call you?

He doesn't call.

Does he write you letters?

He used to, but not anymore.

No, that's not true.
I write you every week, Tess.

Mr. hinkins, uh,
please sit down.

But it's not true.

Sit.

What do you think
of your father?

I'm afraid of him,

because of his temper,

and because of what he did.

No further questions.

Tess, have you ever spent
any time with your father?

Not really.

Then how do you know
to be afraid of him?

My mom.

I have no more questions.

Boy: So you know
I got the number.

Of course, of course!

Yeah, yeah.

Levi.

So, what, you a thief now,
stealin' pills from toph?

Who told you that, man?

Who do you think told me?

I didn't steal anything, ok?

What you think, I'm stupid?

The man has 2 bottles of
prescription painkillers

when you show up
and none when you left.

What are you talkin' about,
2 bottles of pills?

I took, like, 3 pills.

All right!
Levi, stop...Lying.

You can't tell me
what to do, man.

The hell I can't.
Thinks he runs things!

Sit your asses down.

Look...I'm not
scared of you, man.

What, you callin' me out?

Did you hear what he said?

No, I got this.
I got this.

You couldn't take me,
old-timer.

You want to find out?

You better shut your face
before somethin' happen to you.

Boy: Hey...
[Chuckles]

Get in the car.

You crazy.

Get in the car.

I ain't gettin' in no car.

Get in the car!

Don't touch me like that!

Get in the car!
Don't touch me--

get in the car!

Bailiff: All rise.

Bailiff: Be seated.

Mr. hinkins,
given your criminal background,

your long incarceration,

and the close-knit family that
your daughter accepts as her own,

I find that the grounds
of abandonment

and parental incapacity
are established,

and that Tess'
needs and welfare are served

by terminating
your parental rights.

I served my time--
9 years.

I did it for her.

Worked in the metal shop,
got my high school diploma.

I knew what would be waiting
for me when I got out.

I knew the whole world
would be against me.

But I had my daughter,
Mr. fallin.

You don't understand
a thing I'm saying.

You don't get it.

I'm sorry.

Are you?

Scary thing is,
Mr. fallin...

You're the only person that's
given me the time of day

since I've gotten out--

the only person.

Ah, what's the point,
really, huh?

What's the point
of any of this?

James: Came to this place
every day after school.

This place--don, gene,
give me a minute?

Levi:
What the hell, man?

Take your shoes off.

Why?

Your jewelry...Off.

Put some head gear on him.

Matter of fact, I don't
even need head gear.

Put these on.
Lace 'em up.

I spoke to the prosecutor.

He's agreed to a $600 fine
and 3 weeks of John's school.

That's it?

Yes.

I owe you one, man.
I really do.

Slap on the wrist, huh?

You know what's ridiculous
about this whole thing?

And I'm sure
that everyone says this,

but it truly was my first time
to do something like that.

I mean, I have no idea
what got into my head.

I mean, I think it was
probably just the pressure,

you know, of being in med
school and being engaged,

and, you know,
just kind of snapped.

Don't try to be my friend.

I did this for Lulu.

Ok.

Wanna get something to eat?

No, I'm gonna go.

Brian.

Hey, sweetheart.

When'd you get into town?

Just this morning.

Really? Well, what's going on?
What are you two doing--

well, I was gonna surprise you.

Hello. Hello, Mary.

But, anyway,
well, here you are.

So Nick and I were just
talking about the party,

and he was giving me
recommendations for hotels

for out-of-town
guests.

Why don't you guys
join us. Come on.

You did a good job
for Bobby hinkins today.

Nick, look, we gotta talk.

Excuse me.
They won't give Mandy--

just excuse us, please.

Please excuse us.

What is it?
What is it?

Mandy didn't get the loan.

She said the guy at the bank
found some old debt--

a credit card or something.

They won't give her the money!

She can go to another bank.

She--you know,
she did all that.

They're not giving her
a cent. Nobody.

Am I gonna lose my money?

You signed a contract.

Yeah, yeah, you have
to talk to Lenny again.

You get me an extension.

I did what you asked me.

You know what?
I'm asking again.

Alvin, you've met
my probation officer.

Dale petrocki, Alvin Masterson.

The police came by
the office to see you.

Bobby hinkins kidnapped his
daughter this afternoon.

They want you to carry
this pager number

in case he tries
to contact you.

Come on, then.

The time's up that round.

Why don't you go with that
footwork right there, huh?

Huh?
Come on, tough guy.

Show me what you got, hard ass.

Old timer, old man,

you sure you want
the fast hands?

Or you want the fast feet?

All that cute stuff.
All right, tough guy.

That's all you got?
Hmm? Don't hold back!

Whoo!

Oh, come on.
I didn't even hit you that hard.

[Grunting]

I didn't mean
to hit you that hard.

Go ahead and turn me in, man.

I don't need to live with you.

Yeah. Yeah, you do.

[Indistinct chatter]

Yeah? What is it?

The contract
my client signed--

[cash register opens]

Yeah?

Well, if I wanted
to challenge that in court,

there's no
legal consideration there.

What are you saying?

What I'm saying is my client
wants his money back.

You made the deal.
You knew the terms.

I still have a few days left.

You have to fix this thing.

Which bank was
Mandy dealing with?

P.A. Savings and loan.
Can you go down there, smooth things out?

I can't make them
give her a loan.

No, but you can try, Nick, can't you?
You can try!

[siren in distance]

Hey.
Sorry.

What are you
doing here so late?

I had some paperwork
to finish up.

Uh, Brian's been telling me

how you've been going out of
your way to help with the party.

Oh.
Yeah.

You know, I thought you'd
change your mind about him.

Lulu--

I waited outside her school,

and when she came out, I
told her to get in my car.

That her mom had asked me
to give her a ride home.

She was scared at first, but...

She calmed down.

I'm in trouble, right?

Given the circumstances,

you'll probably serve out
the rest of your sentence.

10 more years--

yeah, I figured.

Boy, kids change fast.

Lot of things
we couldn't talk about

on a monitored phone call
we got to talk about.

You need to call
your parole officer.

Oh, I already did.

I told him to come down here.

We had a good time.

We went
to waffle-a-teria.

It's all-you-can-eat
Thursday.

And we drove around.

I wanted to show her
where I grew up.

It's now an apartment building,

but it used to be my home.

[Sirens approaching]

Maybe that lady can give
Tess a ride back home, huh?

Yeah.

So she doesn't
have to see this.

Sure.

Tess, this lady's
gonna give you a ride home now.

Ok.

Lulu: Ok.

Tess?

It was...

I hope I didn't scare you.

You didn't.

Good.

That's really good.

Bye.

Bye, Tess.

Bye.

I was just over
at p.A. Savings and loan.

I talked to a guy.

They're gonna help?

[Sighs]

Mandy never applied
for the loan.

What are you talking about?

Dale...She ripped you off...

With Lenny.
What?

She never tried to get a loan.

I want you to come with me
and get my money back.

Lenny is not the kind of guy that's
gonna give it to you if you ask him.

You come with me,

and I'll give you a totally
clean slate at the review,

and I'll never mention
another infraction.

James, do you have
the stone file?

What happened?

We was just
working some stuff out.

We...Took it
into the ring.

You did this?

You got a minute, James?

You've taken custody of an at-risk
child with a bad background,

and you're encouraging him to
resolve his problems with violence?

It's not violence.

It's boxing.

James, I think you need to
check into a parenting class.

I do things
the way I do things.

Levi's not a client,
and we weren't in the office.

What's his problem?

Nothing.

Petrocki:
Why did you lie to me?!

I didn't!
Why did you lie to me?!

You're still on the
drugs, aren't you?

No, baby.
You sleeping with him, too?

You sleeping with that guy?!

What are you talking about?!

Mandy, tell me you're not
still with this guy, please.

Dale, I'm sorry.
I just--

I owe him money,
and I didn't want to tell you.

I love you, baby.
Come on!

Give me my money back.

Get it from your girlfriend.
Give me that money!

She put it up her nose.

You know what?
I'll fix you good.

You know what?
I got friends on the force.

I'll bring this whole place
down, and you with it.

Dale--

no, you can't.

You couldn't even
make it as a cop!

Whoa!
Nick: Oh! [Grunting]

[Gunshot]

What are you gonna do?

Put the gun down.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna pull the fire alarm,

and I'm gonna walk
straight out of here.

[Alarm ringing]

I'm not quitting, tom.

Fair enough.

And I'm not gonna resign
my membership to the club,

and I'm not gonna
treat my son any differently

or run my firm any differently, so
if that costs me the opportunity,

well, so be it.

You've made the short list.

I did?

You, John goldfarb,

and Linda salganicoff.

The d.A.'S going for this?

Goldfarb's been angling for
this position for a while.

Congratulations, Burton.

So, where do we, uh,
where do we go from here?

Another round of interviews.

A little more scrutiny, and
then, with luck, a nomination.

Little more scrutiny.

If you're going to sit
on the bench,

you'll need to be vetted.

Yeah.
You ready for this?

[Chuckles]

I guess so.

You're ready.

Well, thanks, tom. Thanks for everything.
I appreciate it.

I'll see you soon.

[Knock on door]

Yeah?

Hey.

Well, I've just-- you better
close that door, son.

Well, I've just been informed

that I made the short list
for the federal bench.

I'll announce it
to the firm later today.

You know, Nicholas,

it might get a little
bit ugly around here.

If I leave, there's
gonna be quite a battle

over who's running this place.

So I might need your help
for damage control, ok?

Yeah.

Now, the other thing is if I'm
gonna get this appointment,

I've got to distance myself
from your legal problems.

I won't be able to be here
for you like I have been.

That's not gonna be a problem.

You off the hook?

It's not gonna be a problem.

Good.

Ok, now, every time you laugh,

it means another year
of a long and happy marriage.

Stop.

Ok, I can't believe I'm
letting you do this to me.

Oh, come on. Come on.

I laughed a lot.

I'd like to make a toast.

Thank you.

To Louisa.

You make me the proudest man
in this room...

In this city.

And, uh, speaking of this city,

all of you know that Lulu's
been lobbying pretty hard

for us to stay here
in Pittsburgh,

so we've been
looking around town,

and we found a house we liked.

And our offer was accepted.

[Cheering]

You've got something
on your collar.

It looks like blood.

It's already set.

There's nothing you can do
about it now.

There's nothing you can do.
