[Pager beeps]

Let's go.

Come on, come on.

[TV news program]

[Door squeaks open]

Hey.

Can you stop eating those?

What?

Well--they just kind of
make your breath--

Brian, l'm watching this.

Come on, it's just the news.

Yeah, well, l'm watching.

Well, that's discouraging.

What?

l guess l should have known
when l saw those pajamas.

They're your pajamas.

Exactly.

What's wrong with them?

[Sighs]

l mean, are we ever
gonna have sex again?

Hey, what do you want?

We never see each other,

and when we do, it's late,

and we haven't talked,
and we don't go out,

so why don't you

at least try acting like
you like me before you--

l love you.
You know that.

l know, Brian.

[Clears throat]

You know what?
l'm just really tired.

TV: We're going to take you
live now to Andrew Solomon,

who's in Wilkinsburg, where
a police raid is in progress.

[Door closes]
Andrew?

ANDREW: Thank you, Julie.

That's right, l'm standing
here at the corner

of Dover and Penn avenue,
where a bust has

just occurred at an
oriental massage parlor

where allegedly, a lot
more than just massages

could be purchased.

Now as you can see here,
the police are in the

process of making
several arrests.

One of the officers here...

Oh...

My...

God.

ANDREW: This particular
establishment...

CHILD: Mommy?

lt's OH, Emily.

Don't be scared, OH, honey?

Just go with
this nice lady,

and l'll come see you
in a couple hours, OH?

All right. Be my
brave girl, honey, OH?

Alvin!

Alvin, they're
taking my daughter!

Alvin, they took Emily.

[Singing] Well, there
is trouble in my mind

There is dark

There's dark,
and there is light

There is no order

But there is chaos
and there is crime

There is no one
home tonight

ln the empire of my mind

There is trouble in my mind

All the chaos

ln my mind

ALVIN: Sorry to
get you out of bed.

LULU: It's Ok.

l wanted Anthony Hanram
to handle this,

but l couldn't
track him down.

You'd think a defense
attorney would carry a pager--

That's OH, Alvin,
it's all right.

Uh,

sorry about the bail.

We--we just don't have that
kind of money in the house.

So, uh, l'll get it for you
first thing tomorrow morning.

Lulu...

Lulu, could you look at me?

Tomorrow, at the clinic,

distribute the cases
that are pressing and

get continuances
for the others.

Right. l'll cover for you
until you get back.

l need something else.

Sure.

l need you to go to
the clerk's office

and find out if
bail has been set

for a woman named
Janine Crane.

Who is she?

She's a woman
who, uh...

the woman l was with
when l got arrested.

Hey, Jake.

Hey.

So did you hear
about Masterson?

Yeah. l hear the D.A s
got an open-and-shut case.

They caught the woman
Ieft handed.

Come on.

Well, look, he hired
Hanram to defend himself.

Once again,
he's in good hands.

lt's a prem--
prem serious matter.

Apparently, the woman
claims she's innocent.

l'm prem certain
she had a hand in it.

[Both chuckle]

[Sighs]

So, Jake, we had a
partner's meeting yesterday

to discuss your deal.

Great.

So you are
an income partner.

You--you don't
have a vote yet,

but your salary
is as we agreed,

and your bonus will be

commensurate to your
performance.

OH. So what's the
first order of business?

Hessler Hleaners.

Before they commit
to franchising,

we need a legal
feasibility study,

incorporation documents,

and a master
franchise agreement

by Thursday morning.

Done.

Congratulations, Jake.

Congratulations.

Yeah, and it's, uh,
it's a shame about Alvin.

Yeah.

Sure hope he gets off.

[Chuckles]

Mr. Hallowell?

Oh--Seth.

Seth. OH.

[Sighs]

Well, this is a very serious
problem for the clinic.

All of us on the board,

we're all very,
very concerned.

Well, just let me know
what l can do to help.

For now, take over the clinic.

Be the face of the place.

Now, make no mention of Alvin.

We're going to do our best

to spin this away from Alvin

and onto you.

Excuse me?

Your image is what
we need right now.

Someone like you,
married with family values,

to meet with the press,

l mean, to help us
through this time.

Alvin has
just been charged,

he's not convicted
of anything.

Moral turpitude clause,
it's in his contract.

lt's in yours, as well.

l mean, this is
a family clinic, Louise--

Oh, no, l know, l understand
that, l'm just saying--

You were hired as associate
director of this clinic.

lt's time for you
to do that job.

-Lulu.
-Hey.

So, this whole
Alvin thing's

a little crazy, huh?

l think it's stupid,
if you ask me.

Really? Why?

Yeah, going to
a massage parlor?

You have a problem with a man
going to a massage parlor?

l have a problem with getting up
at 3 A.M. to bail Alvin out,

and l have a problem
taking on all of his cases

because he can't
control himself.

Yeah.

Well, l'll--l'll
be in my office.

Uh, Nick, you have a
shelter hearing at 10:30.

Bryant Wilcox.

OH.

Barbara!

l'm sorry
to bother you.

No, no, it's
no problem, l--

l just, uh, l've
got a lot of work

going on right now, so--

Maybe later.

Well, what is it?

Can l just--

please, uh,
l need some help,

and l can't talk to anybody
at L.S.P. about it.

OH, why don't you
come on in my office?

ls your computer on?

Yeah, why?

Uh, can you go
on the internet?

Punch in ''thelovelorn.''

Why?

Just punch it in.

ls this some
kind of joke?

[Heyboard clicking]

-Got it?
-Yeah.

OH, scroll down
to the bottom.

That's a good
picture of you.

Click it.

[Sighs] Barbara, l'm sorry.

Gosh, that sucks.

Yeah, l used to go to this
site, iron city singles,

l'd stay late at work 'cause
l don't have a computer.

Anyway, l met
this guy there.

lgnatiusjreilly,
you know,

from ''Confederacy Of Dunces,''
which is a great book,

but another story.

l was myrnaminkoff,
and we started chatting,

and, l don't know,

there was
something about it,

having someone
to talk to, just talk,

without being judged
or stared at.

l just felt like,

for the first time
in a very, very long time,

someone was really
listening to me,

considering me.

Why don't you, uh--

how--how long
did this go on for?

[Sighs] A few months.

We started chatting.

He asked for my picture
after a couple of chats,

and l said that
l wouldn't give it to him

because l've had
experiences with men

when they see me.

And l didn't want him to
imagine me like l am, l guess.

And then at one point
l emailed him.

l told him about my size.

He said that it was fine,

that, uh, he wasn't
perfect, either.

So l had my mom
take that picture,

and l scanned it at work,
and then l sent it.

And then last night
he emailed me to go

to the lovelorn site.

l'm so sorry, Barbara.

l want it down, Jake.

Yeah, well
l don't blame y' ou,

but, uh, listen,
this is a tough case.

l mean, we can
argue defamation,

but he's got
his rights.

l want it down.

Come on, Bryant,
come on out.

Damn!

Miss Solt, where is
this child's counsel?

l'm here, your honor.

He is out of control,
Mr. Fallin.

Calm him down
or you're sanctioned!

Hey, come here,
come here.

Ow! Ow!

Let go of me!

-Let go of me! Put me down!
-Come here, you.

All right, listen.

You're going to
stand here and you're

going to be quiet, OH?

JUDGE: What
is going on?

What is he
doing now?

He's having
a convulsion.

James, excuse me,
we have 3 families

coming in with new cases.

Will you take them?

l'm swamped.

[Sighs] We all are.

Those...

[Talking stops]

Hey, everybody.

Lulu, after l meet with
Seth, l need to see you.

[Phone ringing]

WOMAN: Social Services,
sorry to keep you waiting.

[Sighs] Gosh, Alvin, um,
we've been concerned.

The clinic is going
to get through this.

Well, about you.

Seth, this
will all clear up.

l'm facing a third
degree misdemeanor

and they have a weak case.

Listen, Alvin,

you built
this place.

You made it what it is.
It's your vision.

You want me
out of here?

Alvin, it's not me.

Your contract contains
a morals clause.

The board wants to suspend
you until this is resolved.

l'm on the board.
Hell, l created the board.

lf l'm not
convicted of a crime,

how can the board argue
that l did anything wrong?

You were arrested
in a massage parlor.

Alvin, you did
something wrong.

No, Seth, l didn't.

ALVIN: Lulu.
-Yeah.

l need you to represent
Janine Crane.

Why?

Social services took
her daughter Emily.

They put her in a
shelter and they're

making noises about
not letting her out.

Ugh. Alvin, you know,
Mr. Hallowell said that--

This isn't Seth's
clinic, it's mine.

Listen, she's
already a client.

5 years ago, l represented
Janine in a shelter hearing.

You don't think
this is a conflict?

l've already discussed
this with her.

She's waived whatever
conflict there might be.

Besides, for now,
l'm suspended.

LAURIE: He had a seizure.

They took him to
Pittsburgh County.

JUDGE: Where's
the mother?

ln prison--she was arrested
for drugs 4 weeks ago.

The father's not
in the picture.

Where's he been staying
since the mother's arrest?

He's been staying with
his aunt Cheryl for the

past couple of months.

She took him in
because the mother

would be gone for weeks
at a time getting high,

but the aunt
can't handle him.

That's why
we were in court today.

Can the mother make medical
decisions for the child?

She's finding recovery
challenging.

Just last week, they
found drugs in her cell.

Mr. Fallin, l need to appoint
a medical guardian.

You think you can handle
the responsibility?

Well, l...

Ms. Wilcox said
her sister Cheryl

could make
medical decisions.

Oh, Mr. Fallin will step in
as temporary medical guardian.

l'll have my clerk noti_
you of the new hearing date.

Be prepared to fully brief the
court on the child's condition.

LULU: It's prem
simple, Janine.

You win your case, you'll
probably keep your daughter.

Otherwise, she will
end up in foster care.

Hmm..

l'm assuming that
you want to keep Emily.

Of course.

All right.

Well, they're going to look
into your housing situation,

so is there anything
that l need to know?

About?

Where you live.

Um, in an apartment.

Above my business.

Oh, you mean you live
right above the--

Yeah.

What?

Why do you do this?

-Why?
-Yeah.

Uh...

Money. Why else?

l don't know.

l mean, l don't work
just for money, so...

Well, good for you.

What does that mean?

No college.

No high school, really.
No parents, no money.

l mean, l'm not trying
to tell you a sob story,

but looking at you,
l--l'm guessing

somebody out there
Ioves you,

helps you.

But, still, l mean,
selling, uh--

a lot of the men that
you see are--are married.

That's not my fault.

What about their wives?

l can't say it's
their fault, either.

lt's...

the way some men are.

lt's just sex, Mrs. Olsen.

lt's not fun.

l don't like it, but it's
something l know how to do.

[Elevator bell dings]

Mommy!

Emily, oh l missed you.
l missed you.

They can't
release her.

Why not?

l mean, Janine hasn't been
convicted of anything yet.

We don't know what's going to
happen with the court case,

so for now, Emily has
to stay in the shelter.

Dr. Wasserman
l'm looking for.

Dr. Wasserman,
l'm Nick Fallin.

Bryant Wilcox, right?
You're his medical guardian?

That's right.

His films
show no aneurisms,

no brain tumors,
he's not an epileptic,

nothing normally
associated

with the type of seizure
that he suffered,

but the results
from his blood work

show a lead level of 85.

ls that high?

Anything above 10 is
considered dangerous.

Well, uh, how could it
get like that?

The projects are
full of lead paint

that should have
been abated years ago.

The kids eat
the paint chips,

inhale dust that flakes
from the wall.

By the time the parents realize
it, their child's already sick.

NICH: Could it have
caused his seizure?

His seizure, his
intense hyperactivity,

his speech and
developmental delay,

and neurological damage.

Can it be treated?

Chelation therapy
attempts to drain the

lead particles from the blood.

lt's painful, and
only so effective.

Hi.

Remember me from court?
My name's Nick.

DR. WASSERMAN:
Bryant likes to hug.

l need a copy
of his records.

l'm trying to put together
a medical history.

So are we, but
we don't even know

if he has
a pediatrician,

and we can't locate the mother.

We were hoping you'd
know where she is.

Sure.

Can you tell me the name
of your son's pediatrician?

Some clinic.

The one up on
Forbes and Oakland.

Took Bryant there.

Well, should l just ask
your sister Cheryl?

About Bryant?

She never took
him to no doctor.

You took him even when he
wasn't living with you?

He's my kid.

Do you remember the name
of any of the doctors

that treated Bryant?

You need anything like
that, you talk to my lawyer.

Why would
your public defender

have a medical
record on your son?

Not him, my private guy.

-Mr. Hansen.
-Marc Hansen?

Oh, OH.
Thank you.

And me and Mr. Hansen--
we're suing the landlord

on account of the lead paint.

When l get out,
l get Bryant back, right?

That's for
the court to decide.

Bryant Wilcox? Sure.

Lead case.
Carter Street projects.

A lot of sick kids.
How do you know him?

l'm representing him.

His mom's in jail,
and l'm placing him.

Jail?

Nice to let her
Iawyer know, huh?

But that's the
kind of clients

you deal with when
you do personal injury.

-How's business, man?
-lt's fine.

You've been
all over the place.

l tried calling you
two weeks ago at the new firm,

but the phones forwarded me
back to your Dad's place.

Well, we're working
together again.

lt's called
Fallin and Fallin.

So before l can
find Bryant a home,

l need a copy of
his medical records.

ls there a chance
this kid might

need to be placed
in some kind of group home?

Special needs home, yeah.

That helps your case.
Worth more money.

Tara, could you please make a
copy of the Bryant Wilcox file?

-How's Julie?
-Beautiful as ever.

Say hello
to her for me.

Hey, why don't you
come over for dinner

Saturday night,
huh, you know?

lt's been too long.
l know she'd love to see you.

Yeah, it'd be great.
l'd like to do that.

All right, l'll
have Tara messenger

a copy of Bryant's
meds to you tonight.

All right.

Can you--can you send
them to legal services?

How much longer
you got to do that?

Huh.

l just came by
to see how things

are going with
Janine and Emily.

Uh, well, Social Services
is keeping Emily for now.

You can't
get her out?

No. Laurie Solt
said no, so...

Alvin...

are you really going
to lose your job over this?

The D.A s offering me a deal.

Oh?

l give up Janine,
and they reduce

my charge
to a violation.

Great.

Well, do it.

Well, they're
asking me to lie.

Janine and l--it was
never about money.

l never paid her.

Alvin, you know,
you work so hard and--

and everyone respects you,

l don't understand.
l mean, why?

Why would you go--

What's one got to
do with the other?

Am l any less of a lawyer
because l have a sex life?

No, but--but the prostitute
is what l'm talking about.

She may have been a prostitute,
but she wasn't with me.

[Hip-hop music playing]

lgnatiusjreilly?

Who the hell are you?

l'm Jake Straka.

And this is a cease
and desist letter.

What?

Myrnaminkoff wants
off your web site.

l expect it to be down
by midnight tonight.

You're the one that
told me to come here?

Yeah, that's right.

Where's my money?

You don't get
it, dumb ass.

lf you don't
take this down,

l'm going to sue the crap out
of you and your parents, OH?

-Oh, really?
-Yeah.

Where's my money?

All you're getting
is a lawsuit, pal.

Fellas!

This guy posed
as a fat chick.

Look, guys, this is
a legal dispute, OH?

l don't care
what it is.

Hey, take it easy.

He's the one that
promised us 600 bucks.

Hey, take it easy, OH?
Just take it--

Ohh!

[Coughs]

Hey, l want my money.

OH?

Eat this.

[Coughs]

[Phone rings]

Barbara.

l met with Ignatiusjreilly.

So he's not gonna
take the pictures down.

OH.

So we're gonna go
after him in court.

We are?

l'm gonna hit him
with a petition

for special injunction,
haul him into court today.

-On what basis?
-Defamation.

-Yeah, but you said--
-No, the site states

that you wanted
to have sex with him.

That goes to your character.
That is defamation.

So, first we're gonna get
him to take the site down,

then we're gonna sue him.

lf he doesn't have any money,
we go after his assets.

lf he doesn't have any assets,

we go after
his parents' assets.

His parents?

Yeah, l went to Pitt,
too, and l know people.

So l'm getting
him thrown out.

He's a college student?

Yeah, l'm
sorry, he is.

l'm gonna bury his ass.

l came as soon as
l got your message.

Uh, this seizure
Wat WOrte.

He's in a coma.

But he's gonna come
out of it, right?

lt's too early
to know.

l have a copy of
his medical records.

They say that his lead
Ievels kept increasing

up until the last month
and then leveled off.

Well, if
they leveled off,

that means the exposure
probably ended.

lf a decision needs to be
made about life support--

No. l--

No, what?

Just no. l--

Alvin, come on in.

ALVIN: Listen--

Alvin, you don't have--

Janine and l have
an adult relationship.

Clearly.

What l mean is,

years ago, after l got
divorced, l represented her.

We spent time.
We liked each other.

Why are you
telling me this?

l never paid her, Laurie.

She was not--is not--
the kind of person

who deserves to be
known just as another--

Another what?

A prostitute.

Then what is she?

She's a kind woman.

A good mother.

She deserves to have
her child--with her.

And if she
goes to prison?

Well, then
that's another story.

But until the criminal
charges are resolved,

why not allow her
to have the time

she should have
with her daughter?

OH.

Thank you.

-Alvin?
-Yeah?

lf you paid
for it, so what?

-Cynthia Wilcox?
-Yeah?

Hi, l'm Nick Fallin.
We spoke earlier.

How is he?

Um, have you ever had
your apartment tested

for lead paint?

The Department of Health
came through.

And what did they find?

Told me it was clean.

OH. In the time that
Bryant was with you,

did you ever notice

any kind of change
in his behavior?

He was just
going backwards.

Forgetting stuff
he already knew.

Boy couldn't even
dress himself anymore.

l have the records
of Bryant's blood tests

the weeks leading up
to your sister's arrest.

Did you take him
for those tests?

No. Myriam did all that.

Even when she
was out binging,

she'd always make sure
she'd come by

to take Bryant
to the clinic.

She's got her problems,
but she's a good mother.

Great. Thank you.

Amy, l need a copy of the cases
on internet privacy law, OH?

[Hnock on door]

Jake, look, l took a look
at these Kessler Kleaner papers

that you prepared. Um--

OH.

l can't give them
to my father.

They're bad?

Well, they're not great.

OH, l'll have them
done on time.

What are you working on?

Uh...

Uh, Barbara Ludzinski
came by to see me.

She--she got
into this relationship

with this guy
on the 'net,

and he humiliated
her, so l'm just trying

to get him
to take the site down.

Do you need a hand
with that Hessler case?

No, no.
l'm on top of it.

-l could take it over.
-No.

Do you want me to help
with the Ludzinski problem?

No. This is my thing.

All right.

Amy! Damn it, l need
a copy of the case law, OH?

Thank you.

For getting them to give
Emily back to me.

You know that might
only be temporary?

-lf you're convicted--
-l know...

l'm in trouble.

The D.A.--

they're pressuring that
new girl, Lee, to testi_.

They're pressuring me, too.

But l never asked
you for money.

[Chuckles]

Nobody wants
to believe that.

[Janine Sighs]

Look, Lee's gonna say whatever
they want her to say.

She's 19.
She's scared.

Janine, she could
implicate both of us.

You're gonna
take a deal?

l know our
relationship wasn't like

they want me
to say it was,

but l also know how
you make your living,

and they're gonna
get you for that--

with or without
my help.

JAHE: Henry Lean
posted Miss Ludzinski's

personal correspondence
and photograph

on a website under
a heading which read,

''Check out this fat loser who
wants to get it on with me.''

Now, this insinuates
that Miss Ludzinski

is willing to have sex
with a complete stranger,

and is therefore, under common
Iaw, defamation, per se.

How so?

Well, a claim that a woman
is unchaste is defamatory

as a matter of law,
and has been since the 1700s.

Judge...Ahem.

l'm not a lawyer,
but l am pre-law.

We have covered what the
First Amendment means.

So, l know that as
soon as Miss Ludzinski

gave me that material,

l was allowed to do
whatever l wanted with it.

Now, l asked
my law professor,

and he told me that, uh, she--

[Chuckles]

Excuse me.

''Miss Ludzinski has
no reasonable

''expectation of privacy.

''lt's been well established
by the courts already.''

l mean, that's
what he told me.

Jake?

Jake, you did
your best.

My best?

Just got my ass handed me on a
platter by a college student?

-Well, uh--
-did you ever ask that little--

Did you ever ask
that little--

Did you ever ask him
to not show the letters

or the photos to anyone?

l don't remember.

Think, damn it.
Did you ever ask him?

l may have.

ls there any correspondence
that l haven't seen?

l don't remember.

l'm gonna subpoena
his computer.

-Listen, Jake--
-Look, just go back to work.

Check everything
that you ever saved.

See if you ever asked him not
to show the letters to anyone.

Well, l don't
think l did.

Do it! We can claim
breach of contract.

-But, Jake--
-Look, just do it, OH?

l'll come by later.

[Sighs]

l know you've been feeding
Bryant paint chips.

l don't know what
you're talking about.

Then explain to me
why Bryant's lead levels

kept increasing the month
before your incarceration.

Well, l don't know.

There was lead all over
that damn apartment.

He wasn't living in your
apartment that last month.

He was living
with your sister,

and her apartment
is lead-free.

l don't know what
you're talking about.

You would pick Bryant
up once a week,

and take him to your apartment
and feed him paint chips.

A few hours later, you would
take a drive to the clinic,

and he would
get a blood test.

You're crazy!

l'm gonna go and
talk to the D.A.

He didn't say nothing
about no seizures.

-Who?
-The lawyer.

Hansen?

When l took Bryant to
the doctor for his

start of school check-up,

they said
he had the lead.

So one of my friends
in the building

said l should
go see Mr. Hansen,

that he could
get us some money.

But Mr. Hansen
said that--

that my boy's level was too
Iow to be worth his time.

But l could do stuff that could

make the case worth
a million dollars.

He told you that?

Yeah.

He told all
the mothers that.

ALVIN: Hey.

What are you doing here?

Just--just working on a case.

You?

Snuck in.

After everybody was gone.

Didn't feel like sitting
around my apartment.

l thought about you
this week.

That night in jail.

l've been there
before, you know.

Getting arrested
for protests.

But, uh,

when you're in for
something personal, it's--

-Scary.
-Yeah.

When you were
awaiting trial,

they offered you
a deal, right?

Mm-hmm.

-But you didn't take it?
-No.

Why not?

l didn't do
anything wrong.

-Hey.
-Hi. Oh, thank you.

So?

l can't find anything.

You looked everywhere
on the site?

Well, l--l never told him he
couldn't show anyone else.

You sure you looked?

What about your hard drive?
Did you--

Jake, please.

Um, l--l don't wanna look at
this stuff anymore, OH?

l mean--

-Lie.
-No.

No, just say that
maybe you have it on--

_ake, no.
-Look, Barbara, l--

l know you mean well.

And these last
couple of days,

l never imagined that you
would feel so strongly...

Barbara--

about me.

That--that--that you could---
could drop everything

and be so, l don't
know, passionate?

They--they
beat me up.

When l went to see them,
they, uh--the kid

and his friends--
they--

They--they punched me and they
threw me on the ground, OH?

l--l am a partner
in a law firm now.

And they--they
did that.

So what--what l am
asking you to do is--

Let you get even, right?

Let you get even.

Sorry.

No, l--l just
misunderstood.

Let it go,
Jake, OH?

lf l can, so should you.
Just--just let it go.

[Hnock on door]

Hey, man.
Have a seat.

Get those files
l sent you?

Yeah.

Saturday night

Julie has a friend coming
in from Philly. Huh.

A vey pre_ friend.

Did you tell
your clients

to feed their children
paint chips?

What are you
talking about?

Myriam Wilcox.

She told me you
wouldn't take her case

until her son's lead
Ievels were higher.

Her case wasn't worth enough,
but l didn't tell her--

She said you told that to all
the mothers in the building.

Yeah, well...

Let's remember who you're
talking with here, Nick,

All right?

This is a crack
addict in prison.

Come on.

You didn't find it strange
that the kid's levels

were 4 times higher on the
second visit to your office?

l have 37
Iead cases, Nick.

l'm not
a doctor, OH?

l don't monitor
them all.

But you did tell her the
case would be worth more

with higher
Iead levels.

Why are we even having
this conversation, man?

l mean, if this woman
is stupid enough

to feed her kid
Iead paint, huh?

lf she's that dumb,

anything l say to her
could be misconstrued.

Misconstrued?

Or was she just
following instructions?

l didn't do
anything wrong.

Nick, if you make any noise
about this, your client,

my client,
won't see a dime.

ls that
what you want?

l spoke to the D.A.

Testi_ against Hansen

and you won't be
prosecuted for child abuse.

l--l--l don't know.

They don't care about you,
they care about Hansen.

And so l gotta--l gotta snitch
on all the moms in my project?

Yes.

The ones giving
their kids the lead?

Yes.

OH.

There's one more thing.

What's this?

lt's your consent to
relinquish parental rights.

What's that mean?

lt means that
you will no longer

have legal standing
as Bryant's mother.

You wanna take
my baby away from me?

You gonna do that to my boy?

You know what it's
gonna be like for him,

growing up
without a mother?

Yeah.

[Sobs]

[lndistinct chatter]

[Grunts] Do not
disrespect me! Ever!

[Groaning]

[Door opens]

Hey.

You look very prem
in these pajamas.

But you look a lot
better out of them, huh?

Brian--Brian.

[Brian Sighs]

What the hell's
wrong with you, Lulu?

l mean, l've been
nice all week,

and, we, uh,
went out to dinner.

And l called
you at the office

at least 3 times a day
to tell you l love you.

l mean, what else
do l have to do?

Stop having sex
with hookers.

What are you
talking about?

You know what l'm
talking about.

A few weeks before
we got married,

you got arrested
for solicitation

by an undercover cop in
the bar of the grand hotel.

You pled no contest,
got a $600 fine

and 4 Saturday afternoons
at John School.

Not extra classes
in Columbus-_ohn school.

-Lulu--
-Do you think l'm stupid?

l was a clerk,
for God's sakes.

l've got friends all
over the court system.

Nick told you?

No, but l know
he represented you.

Lulu, listen--

You know, l just
don't know how

you could do that
with other women.

Hookers.

And then
come home to me.

lt's not you.

You're damn right
it's not me!

[lronic laugh] It's you!

lt was a stupid
thing l did.

Like last-second jitters.

Oh, OH.

So then you only
did this once?

Yes.

-Don't lie to me.
-l mean l'm sick.

lt's a sickness.
l need help.

Shut up!
You're not sick!

But, Brian, why--
l mean, what are you--

what are you
Iooking for out there?

Really, what the hell
are you looking for?

Should l leave?

[Lulu sighs]

No.

l accepted a deal.

l'm sorry
to hear that.

Two years--l'll be
out in 12 months.

l'll make sure Emily
gets a good placement.

lf it wasn't Lee,
it would have been

one of my other employees

or one of the customers
that were busted.

l wouldn't have
testified against you.

Why not?

Because...

Because you
don't pay me money.

Alvin, a few years ago

you helped me out
with my kid.

Every time l had a legal
problem, l called you.

Right.

Alvin,

That's how you paid me.

Jake, l took
a look at that work.

lt's very good.

l--l stayed up all
night working on it.

l was kind of,
like, in the zone.

Well, it was worth it.

Hessler's gonna
like it a lot.

l know.

What happened with Barbara
Ludzinski--that thing?

Uh, the kid. l...

l dealt with him.

Good.

Come on in.

They dropped
the charges.

All they wanted was
Janine, so it's behind us.

Well, l got a lot
of work to do.

Alvin, we're pleased.
We're very pleased.

And we have no qualms in
you retaining your position

as director
of the clinic.

Thank you.

However, your seat on the
board has been reassigned.

There was
no conviction.

We're not
comfortable.

l founded
this clinic.

Right, but you
report to the board.

The bylaws require that
a director of the clinic

be on the board.

ln this case, the associate
director will have to do.

What?

Mrs. Olsen has been
appointed in your place.

So, you'll still be
director of this clinic,

but Lulu will have
the vote upstairs.

l'm sorry, Alvin, but we
have donors to think about.

DR. WASSERMAN: Mr. Fallin.

Oh, l--hi.
l just--

visiting hours are--

Yeah, l know.
l got held up at work.

That's fine.
Take your time.

You're the only one to
come visit him, anyway. Ripped by FabHawk
