[Knock on door]

Come in.

You wanted to see me?

Yeah. Sit down, Nicholas.

You know, uh,
things are so slow.

I think the firm's too big.

I think we ought to cut back
on our overhead.

You want to let some people go?

Yeah.

How strongly you feel
about this, uh...

about this James fellow?

Well, I'd like to keep him.

Hmm. He doesn't know a damn
thing about private practice.

No clients, no experience.

He's smart.

Well, I've already set up
meetings with Ed Weiss

and Mark Harris
and Sharon Barry.

You're gonna fire them?

Yeah.

Sharon's waiting in
the conference room right now.

She's a very good lawyer.

Well, the truth is,
we've been carrying her

for quite some time now.

Well, like I say, she's...

she's waiting in
the conference room, son.

Mr. Fallin.

Oh. Yeah.

I, um...

Well, come on.
Walk me out.

I know that's not easy for you.
Believe me.

But, um, from now on, l...

I want you to really
keep an eye on things.

Hiring, you know, everything.

Everything, all right?

All right.
By the way,

I went ahead
and changed the name.

Hope that's OK.

[Man singing] 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

You know what it's like?
You know?

Ah, you couldn't.

To be like that... old.

Most of these people
were begging to be

put out of their misery.

At night, it was the worst.

They'd scream out.
You should be there then.

I'd get called in
and they'd have that...

rattle. You know?

That sound when they were
drowning in their own fluids.

People don't belong in
a hospital, dying like that.

They belong in the next life.

Martin, are you sure
you don't want a lawyer?

No. This is fine.

This is the way it should be.

Oh, good.
You're here.

I need you to pull all the files

relating to Pittsburgh
County Hospital.

I've suspended
all the nurses in oncology,

and I'm preparing a letter
to the patients

and their families.

Let us... let us
do the letter, OK?

When this
hits the news tonight...

Last year alone,
nearly 200 people

passed away
in the oncology ward,

and they're all
gonna be coming after us.

Well, what can you tell us
about this nurse?

His name is Martin Keenan,
and all I know

is that he's worked with us
for the last 6 years.

These are the insurance forms.

Oh, thank you.

Well, why don't you, um,
sit down and take some notes,

and, uh... I've looked
these policies over, Edgar.

It looks like you're covered
for up to 2 million,

and then another million
in excess coverage,

and then after that, the county
is pretty much on the hook.

So the hospital itself
has no exposure?

- Well, in theory, but, um...
- What do you mean?

Well, it depends, you know,
if this thing gets too big,

the county's gonna start

thinking about
bankrupting the hospital.

You really think so?

Yeah, Edgar.
I mean, this oncology nurse

has confessed to killing
19 cancer patients.

I mean, uh... [Sighs]

Look, I'll tell you what.

Uh, let me talk
to the insurance companies...

- Burton.
- We'll have them round up

as many potential plaintiffs
as they can,

get them to settle now.

- Can we step out?
- Excuse me?

Can we step out?

- Can it wait?
- No.

I'm sorry, Edgar.
Can you give us one minute?

Uh, so this Mr. Martin Keenan,
he's, uh, is he currently...

EDGAR: He's been arrested.

JAKE: He has
been arrested, so it's...

What is this?

My grandmother died
in that hospital 3 months ago.

Oncology ward.

Oh. Well, you can't
go back there.

Right.

I know that.

WOMAN: Look. Look.

I don't need to talk
to a grief counselor!

You bastards! I just...

Couldn't somebody
just tell me the truth?!

Excuse me.
Ma'am, please.

Please, we have...

This has nothing to do with you.

I want my husband's papers!

Excuse me, um...

I'm not sure, but I
might be able to help you.

Come with me.

Here's an information packet,

and you can join that group
that's in the hall there.

Name is James Mooney.
I'm the administrator

of Anne Mooney's estate.

She was my grandmother.

Here's a letter
from the orphan's court

and authorization to release
her medical records.

I also need a copy
of Mr. Keenan's work schedule

and a record for...

Ray Westbrook.

He, uh, died...

uh, he died just a little
over a year ago.

August 23.

Like I told you before,
I need to see some paperwork,

proof that you're
the administrator of his estate.

I don't know what that means.

Medical records are accessible
through the records department.

You can make a request

and get them
by the end of the day.

Mr. Keenan's work schedule
is public record.

If you want it, file a F.O.I.A.
Request with the court.

I rushed over here
the minute I heard the news.

I wasn't thinking they'd
make me prove anything.

It's understandable.

I mean, F.O.I.A.?
What the hell is that?

It means, uh,
Freedom of Information Act.

It means it's public record.

Will you show me Keenan's
work schedule if you get it?

Sure.

Uh, James Mooney.

Drea. Drea Westbrook.

The court should have a copy
of your administrative papers.

They're open until 4:00.

How do you know all this?

I'm sorry about your husband.

Yeah. I'm sorry
about your grandmother.

Thank you.

I know that guy Martin.

My husband basically
lived here when he was sick,

and Martin
was his favorite nurse.

The last thing I wanted to do
today was come back here.

It's the last thing
I ever want to do.

There's too many memories.

Well, uh, I'm sorry.

Hey! James Mooney?

Um... can I call you?

Lf... just... if something comes up.

I just... I don't know, really,
how any of this works.

Uh...

Thanks.

Nick.

Yeah?

I've got a case,
a hearing for a kid

who lives at the Allegheny
Children's Shelter.

He wants permission to attend
an adoption party.

A what?

We found it's
sometimes effective

to get together a group
of hard-to-adopt kids,

- build an event around it.
- An event?

Picnic, baseball game.

This one's a fashion show.

You dress kids up

and have them
parade around on a catwalk?

Yeah.

The kid's name
is Joshua Bennett.

He's 11 years old.

He's been to a lot
of these, but this time,

the director of the shelter,
Gil Muller, won't let him go.

Why?

The last few times,
when it hasn't worked out,

he's misbehaved.

He just wants a family, Nick.

- Force the shelter's hand.
- It's not our policy.

What, do you mean we need
a court order for this?

It's what Josh wants.

We don't do adoption parties.

These kids have been through
enough already.

Do you have
a better idea, Alvin?

How about finding parents
through the usual channels

instead of treating
the kids like cattle?

I didn't come here
to talk to you about this.

You're talking to someone
who works for me.

Nick's doing it as a favor.

He doesn't have to represent
the clinic.

How 'bout it, Nick?

You willing to do
some work off the clock?

You're seriously not
gonna credit me for this?

10 minutes.
The hearing takes 10 minutes.

I'll do everything else.

What time is it?

- 2:00.
- Sure, I'll do it.

Thanks.

Jenna, come over here,
sweetheart.

Jenna's 61/2 months pregnant.

OK.

Her foster parents are no longer
willing to support her.

Why not?

Jenna doesn't always
follow the rules.

They won't let me
see my boyfriend Zak.

Right.

Um, well, why not
transfer her to a group home

until she has the baby?

Her pregnancy is high-risk.
She has toxemia.

The doctor at the clinic said
I was allergic to my baby.

Where are you staying now?

At group shelter in Greenfield.

It's not adequate to her needs.

There's a home for unwed mothers
called The Olive Branch.

They handle
high-risk pregnancies.

Yeah, well, The Olive Branch

is for girls who want
to raise their babies.

Is that what you want?

I don't know.

Let's just get this done.

We'll worry about who raises
the baby later.

Yeah. Come in.

I went to the hospital,

got my grandmother's
medical records.

Martin Keenan
was one of her nurses.

Now, I know this
doesn't prove anything,

but I have to keep
looking into this.

If you are even potentially
adverse to our client,

there's no way
the hospital will retain us.

Not if I don't sue.

James...

you find out your grandmother
died on Keenan's shift,

what are you gonna do?

I don't know.

Maybe you should
take a leave of absence.

If it were your grandmother...

A hypothetical isn't gonna help
with this situation.

But if it were,
dying in the oncology ward

and while you looked
the other way,

someone decided to just
pull her plug for kicks.

I'd sue.

Right.

I'm not asking you
to leave, James.

But you're not
asking me to stay.

James, due diligence
on the Cummings merger.

- OK.
- I need a memo.

A memo?

An analysis outlining
the significance

of each and every
piece of paper in that box.

By tomorrow if that's OK.

OK.

[Cell phone rings]

[Ring]

This is James.

Drea?

James. Come on in.

This is Mr. Williamson
from the insurance company.

What's he offering?

15,000.

Hello there, James.
I'm Michael Williamson.

I'm an adjuster with
the malpractice carrier.

- Mike.
- Yes.

I think Ms. Westbrook
needs an attorney

before she accepts any offer.

Well, we're just having
a conversation, James.

Why don't you reschedule

until she has the appropriate
representation?

- I'm just here to...
- I know what you're here to do.

I'm here to offer compensation
for the possibility...

That your client might
be potentially held liable

for breaching its duty of care

to adequately monitor
its employee?

Are you her lawyer?

Just a friend.

Mrs. Westbrook...

would you like me
to leave the check with you?

Uh...

I just have to sign that form?

- Don't take it.
- Why?

He's just trying to pay you off
so you won't sue.

What was your name again?

James... Mooney.

OK, Mr. Williamson, I'm gonna...

I'm gonna have
to take a day or 2

to think about things.

- OK.
- OK.

Take your time.
You have my card.

Thank you.

Just call me
when you're ready.

OK.

DREA: Thank you so much.

Of course.
Take care.

Thanks.

What is this about?

The hospital is afraid
you're gonna sue.

By taking that check, you waive
your legal rights to do so.

So how much could I get
if I sue?

Depends.

How sick was your husband?

Uh, he had lymphoma.

But he was getting better.

That was the weird thing,
you know. It was...

his white cell count was high,

and his blood
was getting healthier,

and we all really
had a lot of hope,

and then he just went.

What were his doctors saying?

Uh...

his brother Antoine was a...
bone marrow match, so...

if he had gone into remission,

there was a chance
he could have been cured.

What kind of work did he do?

He was a landscaper.

And he was in school at night
to be a chiropractor.

You have a strong lawsuit.

Can you help me with this?

We need to talk.

Mike Williamson already told me.

That's what we need
to talk about.

- How do you...
- You're fired.

I'm sorry.
You can't work for our firm

and advise a party that is
adverse to us in negotiation.

I guess you won't
need this, then.

Resignation letter?
Yeah, give it to me.

It looks better
for everyone this way.

Thank you.

Josh, this is your attorney...
Nick Fallin.

Hi, Josh.

- What's up?
- I'm Gil Muller,

director of the Allegheny
Children's Shelter.

LAURIE: I'll see
you guys in court.

OK. Um, Gil, can I have a moment
alone with my client, please?

Thank you.

So, uh, Josh,

have you been to one of these
adoption parties before?

Yeah. 9.

You like them?

Kids get adopted at them.

OK.

- Ask me a new question.
- What?

Ask me the capital of any state.

- No.
- This time,

I'm gonna tell people

that I'm into sports,
classical music, and art.

Great. Great.

I went to the Carnegie and
looked at some of the paintings

and, you know, wrote down some
of the names of the artists.

You know, Van Gogh,
Hopper, and Degas.

Great. Excellent.

All right.
Good. OK.

Last time, I forgot
to tell this guy,

Mr. Carl, that I liked hockey,

and he had season tickets
to the Penguins.

I should have told him that.

Yeah. Do you like hockey?

Not at all.

[Knock on door]

Ah. Hello, James.

Good to see you.

I understand you're
doing wonderful work

over at the D.A.'s office.

Legal services.
- Right. Good for you.

Thank you, Diana.
Have a seat, please.

Now, my assistant tells me

that you have a client
who may have been victimized

in that horrific tragedy
over at County.

Drea Westbrook.
Husband was 31 years old,

had a bone marrow match
and a good future...

Right, right.
You want me to help her.

She's got a great case.

And you're giving her to me?

No. We're sharing it.

Uh-huh. But your
not-for-profit work, James,

wouldn't that pose
a potential conflict...

I'm a solo practitioner.

Right. Well, why don't you
give me 3 more like her,

and I'll bankroll it
and take the lead,

and you'll get 40% of the fee?

This child has a fundamental
right to pursue adoption.

It is in the state's
best interest.

It is in his best interest.

He's been rejected
too many times, your honor.

He gets unruly
every time it happens.

It's not fair to the other
16 kids he lives with,

but mainly it's not fair to him.

Josh has a very simple,
very human desire

to find parents.

All we're asking for
is that chance.

Josh, do you want to go?

I do. I really do.

Has Social Services arranged
an escort for this young man?

Uh, no, your honor,
but I'd be happy...

Fine.

Mr. Fallin will chaperone him.

Your honor, l...

Thank you.
Next case.

When does this damn thing start?

Pick me up at 4:00

because the thing
starts at 5:00,

but the traffic going over
the Fort Pitt bridge is real bad

and I can't be late.

This is very kind of you, Nick.

Looks like you won.

Not now, Alvin.

This is a mistake, Laurie.

Thanks for being
so understanding.

What is it this time,
a beauty pageant?

It's a fashion show.

Oh, a fashion show.
That's healthy.

Nobody likes these things,
but they work.

Alvin, will you have dinner
with me Friday night?

Excuse me?

Dinner. Friday.

I thought you said
you didn't want to mix

the personal stuff with work.

I did say that,

and I've thought about it,
and I've changed my mind.

Oh.

Alvin, don't let me
stand here feeling stupid.

- Just say...
- Yes.

Good.

I thought about
what you asked me yesterday.

Thought about it all night.
I went over it in my head...

and I think it was more like 50.

50 people?

It's hard to say.
Some of them were

probably already dead.

Right on the edge, at least.

Yeah, but the more
I think about it,

I helped maybe 50 people.
Maybe more.

Don't talk to the press,
don't answer the phones,

and don't let other lawyers
into your house.

And whatever you do,

don't talk about
what we talk about

to anyone.

Give me all the information
that you can

about your loved ones.

Why they died, when they died,
how old they were.

Let me know about
their successes in life,

their kids, their loved ones.

And another thing...

and this may be
painful for you...

but let us into
their final days.

If they believed
that they were gonna

make it out of that hospital,
get better,

we need to know all of that.

I'm sure that you want to know

what the potential
damages might be.

To give you a specific
dollar amount would be wrong,

but let me just say this:

I would hope for enough money

to make that hospital
feel the same pain

that we are all
experiencing right now.

We're talking about
a very large hospital...

and we're talking
about a lot of pain.

LULU: Your honor, uh,
Jenna Gilliam,

is, uh, obviously pregnant,

but she also has toxemia,

which means her blood pressure
is unusually high,

and she and her baby
are at risk.

Complicating these matters,
she's living in a facility now

that doesn't meet her needs.

JUDGE: What are you
requesting, Ms. Archer?

That she be transferred
to the Olive Branch home.

Have you contacted them?

She's 15th on the list.

So you're asking me
to place Jenna

at the front of the line?

Well, I know it's not protocol,
Judge Damsen,

but, yeah,
it's a special situation.

Jenna, do you plan
to keep your baby?

I don't know.

Do you understand
the criteria for admittance

to the Olive Branch home?

What grade did you
last complete in school?

Eighth.

I got held back
a couple of times.

And when was the last time
you attended school?

Couple of months ago.

You willing to return?

Yeah.

Are you willing
to take a drug test?

I guess so.

Ms. Archer...

I will take this case
under advisement

once I review the file
and see the test results.

[Bangs gavel]

Nicholas Fallin. This is
my partner... Jake Straka.

Of course.
I know your father.

Hell of a tennis player.
Do you play?

No. James.

JAKE: James.

Are you here as
a client or a lawyer?

Lawyer.

You don't see
a problem with that?

No. I wasn't privy
to any information.

So what do you have for us?

Settlement offer.

50,000 per plaintiff,

subject to appropriate
documentation,

proof that they were
under Mr. Keenan's care,

proof that they died
during the hours

that Mr. Keenan
was on the premises,

and, of course,
death certificates

and other relevant
medical documentation.

50,000 per plaintiff.

The offer expires in 24 hours.

Thanks, Nick.

Sure.

NICK: Are you going
to this thing?

No. I've taken Josh
to 9 in a row.

I don't want to go again.

JOSH: I'm ready.

GIL: Josh, I'll be here
when you get back, OK?

Just come into my room,

tell me how everything
went, all right?

Good luck today, Bobby.

Well...

You comfortable?

Yeah.

You have a sweater
or a shirt or something?

It's a fashion show.

I want to look good.

Right.

Do you have a sweater
or a shirt?

[Happy children's song playing]

WOMAN: Let's hear it
for Mary Ellis.

[Crowd applauds]

Bye-bye, Mary Ellis.

Oh, isn't she cute?

Now let me see who's next.

This is Joshua Bennett.

Josh is 11.

He likes ice hockey, traveling,
and going to the museum.

Come on.
Give us a smile, Josh.

[Crowd applauds]

Next, we have Bobby Tarkenton.
Bobby's 8.

He likes karate
and Adam Sandler movies.

Whoa, Bobby!

[Crowd applauds and cheers]

OK, folks. That's it.

There they are.

Now's your chance
to talk to the kids

and get to know them
a little bit better.

Enjoy yourself.

OK, that's done.

Right.

You gotta stay away from me now.

- OK.
- 'Cause if people

see you with me, they'll think

you're trying to adopt me.

OK.

You hang out,

and if I do this,
like, 3 times,

you come over 'cause
that'll mean that I can tell

that the people talking to me
aren't serious.

All right, sure.

[Church bell ringing]

LULU: Jenna.

Hi.

Jenna, you failed.

You tested positive
for marijuana.

Judge Damsen won't place you
in that home now.

You're pregnant, you've got
a life-threatening complication,

and you're sitting
around smoking pot?

You know, if I
were pregnant, I...

Jenna, you got a life
inside of you.

Yeah, well, it's mine.

Not if you keep this up.

There's nowhere
to place you now,

nowhere that makes sense,

that would even allow
Social Services

to approve you
raising your own child.

So what?

They can have my baby.

[Drawer opens]

What are you doing?

I'm going to stay with Zak.

Your boyfriend?

Yeah.

His parents let him
live in their basement,

so I guess I can
live there, too.

No. You don't have permission
to do that.

You gonna stop me?

[Happy children's song playing]

Hi. This is someone
you should meet.

This is Josh.

Oh.

Hello there, Josh.

Mr. Carl.

MR. CARL: Are you
having a good time?

I watched the Penguins
last night.

Really?

Mark Lemieux and the other guy.

They sure skated fast
and won, right?

Well...

good to see you again, Josh.

Hockey season doesn't start
until next month.

Listen, what do you say
we get out of here,

go get an ice cream?

No. I'm staying.

Just go back to where you were.

Come here.

Listen, it's always best
to leave a party

before it's finished.

Shut up.

I didn't mean it.

I didn't mean any of it.

I didn't kill anybody.

I couldn't do that.

I said that...

what I said...

because I was angry at my boss
at the hospital.

I was angry because she was
cutting back my hours,

and I was afraid I was going
to get laid off.

I just got off the phone
with Burton Fallin.

Keenan has recanted.

They pulled their offer?

Mm-hmm.

Fine. Then we'll sue them.

Get medical experts,
exhumation orders.

Set depositions with
every doctor, nurse, or attend...

James, I'm out.

What?

Have any idea what
all this is gonna cost?

But you said...
yesterday, you said...

Yesterday, we had a confession.

We had a man who was
ready to name names.

Today we have nothing
but a lunatic

whose word means
absolutely nothing.

These guys, the Fallins, are

gonna get rich
defending this case

while I spend myself
into bankruptcy.

Burton Fallin's going to
bury us, James, in paperwork,

and he doesn't care

because he gets paid
by the hour.

So what you said before...

Now, listen,
these people, James,

these people,
even if we can prove

that they died
before their time,

they're indigents
with terminal diseases.

How much do you think
that 5 days in the life

of a poor person are worth?

In U.S. Dollars?

If he killed them,

then we should make
an example of him.

James, let me
tell you something.

We're trial attorneys,

but that doesn't mean
that we're not businessmen.

What are you so happy about?

You did a good thing,
Nick Fallin.

I did?

Joshua Bennett.

A couple wants to adopt him.

That's great, Laurie.

10 tries.
It took 10 tries, but it worked.

I'm gonna tell Josh.
You wanna come with me?

Uh, I got a lot of work to do.
I can't.

DREA: He dropped it?

JAMES: Right.

- So it's over?
- No.

But what are you gonna do?

There's nothing I can do.

Suit like this
costs a lot of money.

Well, you'll get the money back.

You have to have the money
in the first place.

A few weeks ago, I was...

I was just starting to have
days that weren't so bad.

You know?

Days that...

that I didn't just think about
Ray all day long,

and then this thing happened,

and suddenly it's everywhere.

I have to think
about how he died

and why he died.

It's just easier to believe...

Believe what?

That he died
because he was sick,

that he died
because it was his time.

I'm just so afraid that
if we start digging,

we're gonna find something...

Drea.

If that man took his life,
they owe you.

Do you really believe that?

I do.

I truly do.

Then you should be my lawyer.

GIL: Laurie.
Laurie.

Gil, I've got terrific news.

There's a couple
who wants to adopt Josh.

Yeah, well...

what's the matter?

Last night, after the party,

Josh pushed his friend Bobby
down the stairs.

8-year-old kid,
broke his arm in 2 places.

I'll talk to him.

I wasn't on when it happened.

The staff reported it already.

This is serious, Laurie.
These are criminal charges.

When's the hearing?

Tomorrow. Judge Damsen.

[Knock on door]

James.

JAMES: Hey.

I was glad you called.

Please sit down.

I need some help.

Oh?

I'm working on my own now.

I thought you were
working with Nick.

I'm working on my own.

I have this case against
Pittsburgh County Hospital.

That situation with the nurse?

Right.

Whoa. That's a big case, James.

I have 4 plaintiffs,

4 people who lost
their loved ones

because of
the hospital's negligence.

Ah. So why are you calling me?

I was working
with Reginald Harris,

but he withdrew the second
the nurse recanted.

Of course he did,

because it's not
an easy settlement,

and now there's work involved.

I want to start my own firm,

and I'm in debt, and...

had nowhere else to turn to.

You need a loan?

I found a bank.

I just need you to co-sign.

How much?

10,000.

Fine.

Why the hell not?

Fine.

Thanks.

[Sighs]

Thanks for calling the cops.

You can't stay in
your boyfriend's basement.

It's not an appropriate
place for you to stay.

You don't know nothing.

Well, I know that
you're being really stupid

and really selfish.

What the hell do you care?

- Hey!
Leave me alone.

Jenna.

Jenna, come here.
[Door slams]

[Clears throat]

NICK: James.

I just want you to know

that there's no
hard feelings on my part.

Business is business.
You guys need to keep clients.

Thank you, James.

Filed a complaint this afternoon
on behalf of Drea Westbrook.

Just put it on the desk.

I'm seeking $4 million.

Yeah. Hospital's
already called me.

Uh, we filed this, too.

It's a motion to remove
you as counsel.

[Clears throat]

Hearing's tomorrow.

Thank you.

[Siren wails]

WOMAN ON P. A: Portable X-ray
to Pediatrics...

She has severe
placental disruption.

It's caused
a massive hemorrhage.

Is the baby gonna be OK?

They don't know.

What about Jenna?

They're doing
everything they can.

Lulu, I have to get to court.

- Can you...
- Yeah, I'll stay.

It's OK.

NICK: Judge Damsen, 3 days ago,
we stood before you

and asked to place
Joshua Bennett

into a difficult situation.

You allowed it.
I took him, and it...

blew up in our faces.

His friend Bobby found a family,
and Josh got jealous.

He did something stupid.

Now, he deserves to be punished,

but to send him to
a restrictive facility

such as Abraxus is excessive.

What's the status of the couple

who expressed interest?

They've changed their minds.

They have 2 young
children at home,

and Josh's behavior
understandably made them wary.

JUDGE: Mr. Muller,

the boy he injured
is leaving your home?

In about a month, your honor.

Do you believe
you can handle Josh?

He's been with me for 6 years.

Truth be told,
even though I'm hard on him,

he's one of my favorite kids.

We all know Josh isn't
particularly adoptable.

I came to terms with
that a long time ago.

He hasn't,
and God bless him for that,

but, you know,
I kinda resigned myself

to being his surrogate
dad the day I met him.

Josh will be sent to Abraxus

until the boy he injured
is placed in his new home.

After that, pending
psychiatric evaluation,

Josh can return
to Mr. Muller's shelter.

[Bangs gavel]

There's gonna be another
adoption party

at PNC Park.

Some of the Pirates
are gonna be there.

No, Josh.

Ask her. Please.

Your honor.
Uh...

Josh would like to know
if he'd be able to attend

the next adoption party.

Absolutely not.

But I get it now.

I mean, if the other
family liked me...

Josh, no.

ALVIN: Don't beat
yourself up, Laurie.

I won't.
I'd do it again.

Those parties?
Come on.

- I would.
- They're reprehensible.

It's the way the world works.
Everything gets marketed.

- But kids?
- Everything.

I don't believe...
you of all people.

You should be a realist, Alvin.

You should think more
about who's getting hurt.

- Oh, come on.
- You come on.

No, you come on.

Are we... are we still
having dinner tonight?

Just come over to my place.

Your place?

Yeah. We can
argue about it there.

BURTON: Your honor, James Mooney
was an associate in our firm.

He resigned 2 days ago,
but before that,

he sat in on a confidential
client meeting

with the Pittsburgh
County Hospital

where he had access to files,

privileged communications...

I was in that meeting
20 seconds at most.

I didn't hear anything.

My employment with the Fallins
was never formalized.

But he was... he
was at the meeting

with someone
who, at that time,

was his client.

Now he's suing him.

James.

We're just doing our job.
It's not personal.

JAKE: Look at it this way.
Burton would never have

knocked you off this case
if he didn't respect you.

Burton blew me out of the case.

I had a conflict
since the Fallins

represented the hospital.

I see.

So, um...

About the money...

I only spent 1,200 of it, so...

I already paid back the rest.

James, your office...

I'm not back here for work.

But you need a job
to pay off that loan.

What you did
with my nephew Levi,

I'm not forgiving you for that.

I appreciate you
helping me out, but...

James.

I want you back here.

I need you to come back.

I'll be in tomorrow.

Hi.

Here you go.
You better, uh...

Nicholas, you better get going.

That press conference
is in an hour.

Now, listen, I've been thinking.

- What?
- My office, you know,

it was meant
for the managing partner.

That's you.

For now, yeah,
but that's gonna be you soon.

Dad, I...
I don't want your office.

Well, think about it, OK?

It's your office.

Drea.

Sorry I'm late.

The press conference
doesn't start for a few minutes.

Ah.

The judge, uh...

removed me from your case.

I know this guy
Lawrence Pocaro.

He's solid.
He'll work hard for you.

But you can't do this?

I can't be your attorney...

but, um...

I can be your friend.

I can help you get through this.

You wanna go in?

No. Not now.

Let's just enjoy
this pretty day.

For now.

Let's just enjoy the day.

You're here... excuse me.

I'm glad you're here.

You want to come up
with me quickly?

The meeting starts
in 20 minutes.

They're releasing Martin Keenan.

They don't have enough evidence
to hold him.

OK, so I can just walk out now?

Is it safe?

Are you sure
it's safe to do this?

[Reporters shouting questions]

JENNA: How much does she weigh?

2 pounds.

Is she gonna live?

They're doing
everything they can,

and if she doesn't get sick,

they can keep her strong
and get her lungs developed.

Then she's gonna be OK.

That's her?

Yep.

- I wanna go now.
- Jenna.

- Take me out of here.
- No.

- Take me out.
- Hey.

This is your baby,

and she needs you now,

and it might be the only time
that you get to spend with her

for the rest of your life.

If you want to pretend that
she doesn't exist, feel free,

but not right now you're not.

I'm not wheeling you
out of here.

How long does she
have to stay in there?

Could be months.

If I wanted to...

how long could I stay?

They've agreed
to let you stay here

as long as your baby's here

if that's what you want.

She's so small.

I know.

A little life.
