Nick? Laurie.

Do you remember
the Caffey family

from East Liberty?

Yeah, 3 kids,
mother died of cancer.

Their middle boy
was mauled to death

by a dog over the weekend.

He was only
in the third grade.

How'd that happen?

I don't know.
He was with his father.

Family must be devastated.

The wake's tonight.

I thought since
they were your clients...

No, listen,
I got a dinner tonight.

Trinity Funeral Home,
Carson Street,

across from the gas station.

Did you hear me, Laurie?

I said I have a dinner tonight.

Laurie?

[Telephone ringing]

[Ringing]

[Door slams]

LULU: Alvin?

[Footsteps]

Alvin, are you still here?

You know, I wanted
to ask you about...

Oh. Uh, can I help you?

You work here?

Yes. Uh... are you
here to see someone?

Alvin Masterson?

Uh, he's not here.
There's other people here,

but, uh, he's not here.

I'm here about my wife.

Well, you should come back
tomorrow, then.

Took me more
than 2 hours to get here.

Sir? Sir.

Sir!

Me?

Yes.

Heh heh heh!

I haven't been called "sir"

since Michael Jackson
was black.

Heh heh heh!

I've been in prison since 1981

for a murder somebody else did,

but I need a lawyer
about a divorce.

Oh. Well, l... I was
just gonna tell you

that Mr. Masterson
is usually here

at 8:30 in the morning,

so you should come
back then tomorrow.

OK. Thank you.

Have you been in there yet?

No. I was waiting for you.

Um, I was actually concerned

that they wouldn't recognize me.

It was just last spring

you set up the kids'
guardianship.

Andrea's very fond of you.

Really?

Yeah. 2 funerals in 6 months.

God, how much are these people
gonna be asked to bear?

Yeah, well,
let's get it over with.

MAN: Thank you, Harry.
Thanks, Joanne.

Thanks for coming.

Mr. And Mrs. Burke.

Ms. Solt.
Mr. Fallin.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

- Hi, Mr. Fallin.
- Andrea.

The government
shouldn't be here.

No, Dad.
You don't belong here.

Can you make him leave?

We're just here to pay
our respects, sweetheart.

MRS. BURKE: Oh, my God.
He's on drugs.

Tom, you've gotta
get him out of here.

Unh.

Ohh!

Daddy!

It's his diabetes.
Get him on the chair.

Somebody get some juice
or hard candy.

ANDREA: It's OK.

I need his upper arm.

[Moaning]

TOM: You know how to use that?
- Yes, I do.

He's gonna be all right.
Always is.

[MAN SINGING] Well,
there is trouble in my mind

There is dark

There's dark and there is light

There is no order

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

We want to adopt the girls.

First you'll need
to ask the court

to terminate Louis Caffey's
parental rights.

That's fine.
I mean,

after their mother died,

well, he hasn't provided
a penny for support.

He comes and goes
in their lives as he pleases.

And now Brendan...

Mr. Fallin will set up
a hearing and represent you.

MRS. BURKE:
What happened to Brendan,

is it enough to win?

We will need testimony
from the girls.

Andrea, you mentioned
that your father had done drugs.

He says he has
a medical condition,

but he's a junkie.

NICK: OK.

MR. BURKE: Tell him,
Andrea, what you told me.

I saw my father do heroin.

A bunch of times.

I even helped him
with a needle once.

He said it was like
his diabetes medicine,

but it had to be kept a secret.

OK.

And twice, when I was
too little to understand,

he made me
go ask Chicky for drugs

when he was out of money.

And I know
that he was doing drugs

when Brendan got killed
because Chicky's house

is right across the street
from the junkyard.

So...

is that the kind
of testimony you need?

That kind of stuff?

Ah, you got
a new client waiting.

Albert Gregg.
You've already met.

The murderer?

- He didn't do it, Lulu.
- Alvin.

He was released from Western Pen
a couple of months ago.

There's a pardon
from the governor

in his file.

You're kidding.

You know, he told me he
was sent to prison back in...

21 years ago.

Yeah. What happened?

He was mistakenly identified

as robbing a liquor store

and killing the owner.

He put in for
a DNA test this year,

and it cleared him.

Well, if it was
a citizen's mistake,

he can't sue the state.

No, he's not
interested in suing.

He's interested in
keeping his wife.

Mr. Gregg? Hi.
Come on in.

Do you mind?

Oh, no.
That's fine.

Have a seat.

Uh, Mr. Gregg, I'm...
I'm really sorry

that I couldn't help you
when we first met.

Oh, that's all right.
I understand.

You were scared.

Shoot. I scare everybody.

Even my wife.

Your wife wants a divorce?

That's what she thinks
she wants.

How long have you been...

you can have a seat.

Oh. Thanks.

So how long have you
been married?

Met Janet back in 1991.

She taught Bible classes
to the inmates.

You know, she was
the only person in there

who really believed
that I was innocent.

When they let me out,
I knew it was

Janet's prayers that did it.

Why does she want a divorce?

[Sighs] I have nightmares.

Can't find a job.

I'm just not
a proper husband to her.

Yet.

Well, it's ultimately impossible
to block a divorce.

The most we can do
is try and stall it.

Oh, OK, then, stall it.

Um, she's citing indignities.

But that's really just
a catch-all reason for divorce,

and her use of it means
that you can request

counseling sessions.

Good. Good.
See, that'll give me time

to get myself together.

You know, if I can just
find a job, she'll see.

I won't just be hangin'
around the house.

Uh, your last job
was for the county?

Yeah. Worked in the courthouse.
I was a handyman.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I have to talk to you.

About the accident.

OK.

The newspapers say that Brendan

was alone on the sidewalk

and he opened the gate
that let that dog out.

I have the police reports.

But that's wrong.
He wouldn't have done that.

He was petrified of dogs.

Well, the important thing
for the TPR is that

your father abandoned
Brendan on the street...

He was petrified of dogs.

You should probably speak
to the Burkes about this.

I did, and they won't
get into it.

They think it's
too upsetting for me.

Well, I understand that.

I want to talk to someone
at that junkyard.

Come with me, please?

No.

You're a man in a suit.

You'll get answers.

You know, it's
not really what I do.

He could read that easy.

And there's a man there.
Let's go talk to him.

L... I'll talk to him.
You wait here.

Hey.

Excuse me.

Looking for a part?

No. I'm looking for a guy
called Bill Jenkins.

L... I knew the kid that
was killed here last week.

Ohh. I'm real sorry about that.

Tragic.

The boss is working at one of
the other yards this week.

Did you work Saturday?

No, thank God.
I just started.

You replace someone?

Yeah, a guy named Danny.

You know his last name?

Don't know.

Any idea where I could find him?

Sorry.

You want me to leave a message
or anything for Bill?

No. No, that's fine.

Thanks.

Andrea.

I'm sorry.

Dad never really took care
of him like he was supposed to.

But God will now.

LULU: Judge Hearn.
JUDGE HEARN: Mrs. Olsen.

Uh, do you have a minute
to meet someone?

Hello.

GREGG: We met before.

This is Albert Gregg.

You sentenced him to life

for robbery-homicide.

I'm sure you've heard
about his situation.

Actually, yes.

Well, we really don't mean
to put you on the spot,

but my client harbors
no ill will whatsoever

for that tragic mistake.

When I looked over his file,

I was very glad to see

that you presided over the case

because I knew that
you'd help out, your honor.

Help out?
With what?

GREGG: Just like that,
he got me my job back!

Well, it was
the least he could do.

I couldn't even get
county human resources

to answer my calls.

Wait'll I tell Janet!

MR. BURKE: Mr. Fallin?

I know you're busy, but I'm
doing a job 2 floors down.

You got a minute?

Yeah. Come in, Mr. Burke.
How are you?

- I'm good.
- Take a seat.

I'm worried about the adoption.

Are you having second thoughts?

No, no, no. No, no.
God, no.

We're the godparents.

I'm worried about the adoption
going through...

with our money situation.

OK. Uh, well, you're working.

Yeah, yeah.

So is Joyce, but with
everything that's happened,

we're strapped.

See, I had a bid in on a house,

but I had to pull it
to pay for Brendan's funeral.

Right. You have a separate bed
for each child?

- Yeah, of course.
- Well, then, you're all set.

Wow. Thank God.

See, I thought we were
going to start something

with this termination hearing
we couldn't finish,

and then the girls would
end up with strangers.

That's not gonna happen.

OK. Good.

- Mr. Burke.
- Yeah?

Andrea said Brendan
was afraid of dogs.

Yeah. Yeah, he was.

Yeah, he'd even stiffen up
just at the sound of barking.

I kept trying to
tell her, you know.

Kids wander.

That's why you don't
leave them alone.

[Dialing telephone]

Hi. I'd like to speak to Danny.

Oh.
Oh, well, uh...

you know,
maybe you can help me out.

I'm a friend of his.

The court has honored
our petition

requesting that
Mr. And Mrs. Gregg

attend counseling sessions.

LEVINE: 3 sessions.

Mrs. Gregg would like
these sessions scheduled

as soon as possible
in order to expedite

the divorce proceedings.

OK. We can do that.

However, Mr. Gregg
does request that Mrs. Gregg

attend these sessions
in the spirit in which

they are intended.

I got a job, honey.

In the spirit
of generosity and sensitivity

to his present situation,

my client will allow Mr. Gregg

to stay in her home
for an additional 2 weeks.

You said a month.

Now that Mr. Gregg is employed,
he should immediately work

to secure a new
living arrangement.

My client is very appreciative

of Mrs. Gregg's generosity.
Thank you.

LEVINE: Good day.

Hey, one second.

What the hell was that?

A Hail-Mary pass.

What else did I have to lose?

Well, uh, it just,
it wasn't appropriate.

At all.

NICK: Hey, Danny?

Hi. $4.00.

No, I'm actually just here
to talk to you.

My name's Nick Fallin.

Your car's
in the lot. $4.00.

OK.

I heard you saw what happened
to that boy at Pitt's.

I don't want to talk about that.

- I only have singles.
- That's fine.

You know, it's
just a few questions.

I said I don't want
to talk about it.

5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

You know, I'm asking
for his sisters.

Brendan had 2 sisters.

Brendan was his name?

Brendan Caffey, yeah.
He was 8 years old.

One of his sisters told me
he was afraid of dogs.

The police had that dog
put down, you know?

I mean, I like
animals and that,

but that one, I was real glad.

She also thought he wouldn't
be able to open the gate.

I'm supposed
to be working, you know.

I know.

Has the dog ever
been vicious before?

Are you kiddin'

It's nasty.

I told Mr. Jenkins
a hundred times.

I never really liked that dog.

That dog get loose
that day, Danny?

Did it?

Can someone go to jail
for leaving a gate open?

Pitt Parts was bought
by Kaiser Auto last year.

22 shops.

Kaiser, they've
got that ad on TV.

[SINGING] Your friendly family
car store

They're also
a little league sponsor.

And their guard dog
mauled a kid to death.

Pain and suffering alone
will net

half a million for the estate.

Right, here's the police report.
It's yours.

The plaintiff's
the father, right?

That's right.

And you're representing
the kids against him?

That's why I can't
take the case.

Yeah, we are kinda
at the same firm.

Have him sign a conflict waiver.

- Yeah, OK.
- All right.

When do I get to meet
my client?

I'll call you.

- Miss Solt's inside already.
- Dad's a no-show.

MRS. BURKE:
But we're ready.

We need to talk.
Come with me.

Take a seat.
I want to postpone the hearing.

- What?!
- No way!

A new witness has come forward.

The report on Brendan's death
is not accurate.

Oh, my God.
The poor angel.

The gate was already open,

so the company that owns
the parts yard is liable.

Even so, Mr. Fallin,

this is one of many incidents.

It doesn't let Lou off the hook.

No, it doesn't,
but according to the law,

Lou, as the father
of the victim,

is the only one that
can recover damages.

He'd get money?

Yes, and if you terminate
his parental rights,

the girls will not be
entitled to any of it.

I think we should still
go ahead with the hearing.

My wife is right.

But this isn't about money.

It's about stopping Lou

from picking
the girls up from school

and takin' 'em God knows where.

OK.

No, no, wait a minute.

- Andrea, what is it?
- You don't have enough money.

You spent it all on us,
on the funeral, on St. Agatha's.

He should be paying
child support and tuition.

You can always pursue
parental termination later.

I hate to slow down
the adoption,

but maybe we
should be realistic.

I vote for Mr. Fallin's plan.

Mrs. Olsen.

Please, don't let Janet
know about this.

You can't let my wife find out!

- Mr. Gregg...
- Please, Mrs. Olsen! Please.

Don't let Janet find out.
She can't know...

Judge Hearn.

Your office number was the only
one on his employment form.

What happened?

He assaulted a fellow member
of the janitorial staff,

a man I know personally.

Oh, my God.

You know, you put me face
to face with my worst nightmare.

I so wanted to help him.

As if I could make up
for what...

20 years in prison
does to a man.

I'm so sorry.

So am I.

[Knock on door]
Nick.

The, uh, Caffey litigation.

- How's it going?
- There's... there's nothing.

There's the autopsy report.

I mean, the real money
in these cases

comes from pain and suffering,
and the kid died instantly,

so, I mean, the most
we could hope for is...

What?

A fee, um, 60,000.

60 grand?

- Yeah.
- [Laughs]

That's a lot of money
for this family.

Uh...

Well, OK, but it's... it's
still not worth my time.

Well, Kaiser's still gonna want
to settle this thing quickly.

Look, Nick, l...
- Jake.

Don't drop the case.
The family needs the money.

You know, this has gone
from you doing me a favor

to you owing me big time.

- Fine.
- Fine.

LULU: All right,
tell me what happened.

Supervisor asked me to fix

a broken sewer pipe
in the men's room.

I wanted to do it then,
but he said, no,

it had to be
at the end of the day

when nobody was in there.

OK.

I told him I had a woman
to go home to.

He thought he was a funny man.

Wanted to send me home to
my wife stinkin' like a sewer.

You know, l... I think that you're
gonna need someone to, uh...

help you make the transition
back into society.

If you're talkin' about
a headshrinker, I'm not crazy.

It doesn't mean you're crazy.

What does it matter anyway?

When I don't come home,

she's gonna find out.

Well, I have a friend.

A friend of mine
has agreed to represent you,

and he's gonna bring it
in front of the judge today.

You should've seen
Angela Livetti's face

when I climbed into this car.

She a friend?

No. That's why it's fun.

So you didn't get in trouble
for canceling the hearing?

No. I told the judge
it wasn't the right time

for you to pursue it.

I thought I knew
what lawyers did.

I guess I don't.

Lawyers, ha.
What do lawyers do?

We interpret the law
whichever way helps our client.

So there's no right or wrong.

No. There's
best interests of the client.

I wish church laws
worked like that...

in a person's best interest.

You know, when my dad
started stealing

and lying and not coming home,

if a priest said, " Mrs. Caffey,

"marriage is supposed
to last forever,

"but it really isn't in your
best interests at this time..."

Your mother stayed
with your father

because she was Catholic?

Stupid rule, right?

Well, it's not my religion.

What church do you go to?

I don't.

I freaked you out
when I started praying

in the junkyard, didn't I?

No.

Do you believe in God?

Sometimes, yeah.

Sometimes no.

How about heaven and hell?

[Sighs]

I believe in God.

But l... I picture him
like a... a glob.

I can't imagine some father.

Hey, sorry,

I thought I should
park in the lot.

Oh, this is Jake Straka.

He's... he's representing
your father.

- Hi.
ANDREA: Hi.

Oh.

There he is, the waste of life
on the second stool.

So my client
hangs out here, huh?

Yeah, here or across the street
at Chicky's house doing drugs.

You wanna wait in the car?

No. I hate this place.
I'm just gonna walk home.

Yeah, you know, this is
kind of a bad neighborhood.

I practically grew up here,
Mr... what was it?

- Straka.
- Straka.

Tough cookie.

[Door creaks]

Mr. Caffey.

[Scoffs]

You come to dance on my grave?

What's that?

I lost my... my girls today.

I got the notice.

I wasn't gonna
go down there and...

listen to that crap.

The Burkes canceled the hearing.

- They did?
- Yeah, they did.

This is my partner Jake Straka.

Hey, man.

So, uh...

Lou, um, it seems to me

that your daughters
mean a lot to you.

L... I love my children.

L-I 'm a...
I'm a workin' man.

OK? I'm a roofer.

I got sick,

and my poor wife
got the cancer...

There may be a way you can help
Andrea and Kristen.

What... what do you know
about my family?

Well, we know
you may be entitled

to some money
due to the circumstances

of your son's death.

- Money?
- Yeah, from... from a lawsuit.

We don't want another...

episode like we did
the other night, huh?

[Spits]

[Hacking]

What do you mean, money?

Uh, uh, h-how... how... how...

how do I get... the money?

Why don't you just come by
our office in the morning?

We can talk.

OK.

- Good.
- Sure.

JAKE: He's sick, huh?

NICK: He's high.

JAKE: Will it get any better
tomorrow morning?

NICK: Who knows?

Nick.

There's a bum sitting out there
in the... the lobby.

Call security, OK?

He's a client.
He's Jake's client.

- Jake?
- Yeah.

I thought he left
those circus freaks behind

when he became a partner.

I referred him.
He's from L.S.P.

- Oh, L.S.P.
- Yeah.

Well, let's keep
this particular project

out of the lobby, all right?

JAKE: Mr. Caffey,
come on this way.

Sure.

Oh, Brendan.

Those sons-a-bitches, man,
what they did to my son.

We're very sorry.

They lied to me!

I mean, they,
they lied to me about my son!

They were trying
to protect themselves

because they knew
they were negligent.

The question is whether
or not you want to pursue

an action, Mr. Caffey.

[Scoffs] I do, yeah.

I wanna make them pay.

OK, if I were to represent you,

I need you to sign a waiver

saying that you don't mind
that Mr. Fallin and I

work at the same firm.

Well, that's fine.
That's fine.

OK, well,
I'll let you two continue this.

But, um, Mr. Fallin...

Uh, I can't be
involved in your case.

No, no, uh, it's... it's about,
uh, Kristen and Andrea.

I just wanna
let 'em know that, uh,

things are gonna
be different, you know?

I mean, I'm... I'm
gonna be a better man.

You know, l... I just think

that the girls
need me now, you know?

L... I wanna see them, Mr. Fallin.

So if you could just sign
at the bottom and date it...

Case number 565509.

Assault.

Uh, your honor, my client
has some psychological issues.

We'd like to
resolve this immediately

and get him some counseling.

We have no problem with that.

We'd also like to recommend
some anger-management

counseling as well.

JUDGE: This is a first offense?

LAWYER: Yes.

The court sentences Albert Gregg

to 120 days
of informal probation.

You stay out of trouble,
Mr. Gregg,

we'll dismiss these charges.

You must attend

30 hours of
psychological counseling.

SECOND LAWYER:
Excuse me, your honor.

The commonwealth would
like to ask for 50 hours.

No problem, your honor.

You will attend 50 hours
of psychological counseling

and take
an anger-management course.

My clerk will provide you with
a list of approved programs.

[Bangs gavel]

Case number 551106.

Thank you.

I wish they were all this easy.

Mrs. Olsen,

I should've got just probation.
I'm not a criminal.

You assaulted someone.

How am I gonna explain to Janet
about all those doctor's hours?

How can I explain that?

You just need to go home
and tell her the truth.

Just tell her that
you're having trouble

transitioning, that's all.

Keep the tie.
Brian doesn't wear it,

and Janet...

might like it.

So, Kristen.

How's first grade?

Second.

That's right. Second.
How's second grade?

KRISTEN: Good.
- Yeah? You reading, uh,

a lot of books?

Joyce makes me read every night.

And... and... and what about you?

You're not getting
too distracted by

all the boys now, are ya?

No. They're all idiots.

Oh. [Laughs]

Oh, here... here you go.

I got, uh...

these are for you.

One each.

KRISTEN: Thank you.

LOU: They're, uh, watches.

ANDREA: Thanks.

Oh, I didn't forget you, Tom.

This is just
a drop in the bucket

from my check
to show you I'll be good...

on my debts.

Good.

That's good, Lou.

The girls need to get to school.

Oh, uh, all right.
Well, you better scoot.

I know how those nuns are.

St. Agatha's doesn't
have nuns anymore.

The teachers are real people.

Oh.

ANDREA: Bye.

Um, what... what do you say the 3
of us get together on Saturday,

have some ice cream?
Just like old times?

Lou, why don't
we wait on it, OK?

Why?

The visits are supposed
to be supervised.

Oh. Well, uh,

uh, uh, later then, yeah?

TOM: Yeah.
KRISTEN: Bye.

Good-bye.
Good-bye.

Are you still sick, Daddy?

Sick? What?

Joyce says that's
why you do bad things.

Kristen, honey, come on.
We don't wanna be late.

These... these things take time.

Hey. Wasn't expecting
to see you again today.

I actually just hung up with
a really good state therapist

who specializes in
working with ex-inmates.

I have the number, and also

since we don't know when you're
gonna be working again,

I, uh, have some forms
for you to fill out

for state assistance.

State assistance?

The state owes me more
than doctor hours and welfare.

This the best you can do for me?

Well, I did get you
a job, Mr. Gregg,

and you clearly showed that

you-you're
just not ready for it.

You know, you got
that fancy ring on your finger,

but you spend all
your time in this place.

Excuse me?

Where's your husband's picture?

That's none of your business...

Who are you to talk to me
like I'm some child?!

I don't! I didn't...

You can keep your welfare!

Oh, OK!

Do you know that
she kicked me out?!

'Cause of what you said!

What do you know about it?!
Aah, let go of me!

What do you know
about anything?!

Hey, what the hell
are you doin', huh?!

No, it's all right,

JAMES: Lulu.

I'm all right.

JAMES: Hey,
somebody call the police.

No, don't! Don't!

He assaulted you!

LULU: I'm OK.
James, it's OK.

Just... just go.
You should get outta here.

JAMES: Go on!

Get outta here
before I call the police.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm OK.

JAKE: So what's Kaiser
offering here?

You've got nothing here.
According to the autopsy,

you have no pain
and suffering.

Well, my client is claiming
lost future earnings.

Good luck proving an
8-year-old's earning potential.

Well, straight-' 'A " student,
altar boy.

I won't need any luck.

There's a huge
contributory negligence

issue with your client.

He left his kid alone.

Ah, I'm sure the press
would love to hear

how Kaiser's insurer blamed
the child's grieving father.

We'll give you 10,000
as a goodwill gesture.

200 would be a better gesture.

Not a chance.
50 grand.

- 100.
- My authority ends at 80.

- Throw in the funeral costs.
- 1,000.

- 4.
- 2.

- 3.
- Deal.

- 83,000.
- Done. Great.

I'll make
my lunch appointment.

Lulu.

- You all right?
- Yeah.

James told me what happened.

Oh, so, he told you
I'm all right.

Yeah. You should've
let him call the police.

Oh, what are you talking about?

I mean, I'm gonna run
crying to the police

because a client grabs my arm?

- Yes, yes.
- No. Is that what you would do?

- No.
- OK, so then why should I?

Here, put this on.
It's freezing out here.

I'm not cold.
I'm fine!

I just... I just
came out here to get some air.

OK, I'm sorry.
All right?

L... I appreciate you
being protective.

No, I wasn't.
I was concerned.

OK, I appreciate you
being concerned,

but I'm fine.
I just...

I was a little bit scared.

- That's all.
- You're OK now?

Yeah.

What is it with you, huh?

[Sighs]

Well, I just... I just thought
with this incident

that you might need to talk
about it or... or anything.

[Laughs] So now
you want to talk to me?

Every conversation we have
ends with you telling me

I should divorce Brian.

Who?

OK.

I'm gonna go back inside.

Thank you.

LOU: $56,000?

After our fee.

[Laughs]

I'm a rich man!

You should really
think carefully

about how you want to...

I don't even know.
L... I gotta celebrate, man.

Do you mind if l... if I, um,

I'll give this jacket
back to you, like, tomorrow.

- All right?
- OK.

You know what?
Hey, where did you get this?

Because, you know, maybe
I could get a couple myself.

Hey, you hear the good news?!

Yeah, I did.
Congratulations.

Hey, thank you, man.
Thank you!

The Burkes will
be glad to hear it.

[Scoffs]

Oh, here we go.

There's a house
that they're looking at.

If you repay them
for Brendan's funeral costs,

they could buy it.

Oh, so, uh,

l... I write a check and suddenly

I'm father of the year?
Is that right?

They... they couldn't
even pretend at that visit.

I know it was awkward.

And you.
You... you bring me up here,

to this nice fancy office,
and you have your buddy here

take such good care of me.

What am I supposed to think,
that you're my friend

or something like that?

If it weren't for the money,

I would not even be able to see
my own children right now!

Isn't that right,
Mr. Fallin, huh?!

You have an opportunity to do

something very good
for your kids.

So they can live
happily ever after

with... with Tom Burke?!

If Tom Burke wants to be
the father of my kids,

he can use his own
goddamn money, all right?!

They can all go to hell.

What's this?

It's a lien from the court.

Freezing his settlement.

Mrs. Olsen,
do you have a minute?

Uh, Mrs. Gregg,

you should probably contact me
through your lawyer.

I need to talk to you...

woman to woman.

OK. Come on in.

I want you to stop feeding
Albert's delusions

that I'm not leaving him

and that he can behave
any way he wants.

I don't think that
I've done that at all.

He assaulted a man
first day on the job

and walked away that same day.

Well, would you prefer
that he went back to prison?

No!

I wouldn't,

but I would've preferred
you didn't blame it

on adjustment issues.

I'm getting a divorce
from Albert

whether it's now or later,

and it's not because
he doesn't have a job

or has nightmares or keeps
all the doors and windows open.

OK, well, then why?

Did he ever tell you
I'm his world?

Yes, he did.

That's not a good thing to be

to a man who thinks
the world owes him.

I can't say I'm surprised.

- You sure you don't want any?
- No, thanks.

What he wanted was to waltz in,

be treated like the big hero.

Maybe I could've
sucked it up better.

- I don't...
- Tom, don't.

Nothing will change who he is.

I already put a lien
on his assets.

TOM: Now what?

You sue for back and future
child support,

including tuition
and Brendan's funeral costs.

Lawsuits. How long
will that take?

Several months.
Maybe a year.

Then there's the legal costs.

Well, I can represent you
through legal services.

All that time out of work.

There's no guarantee.

I think we should pursue
the parental termination.

Yeah. I do, too.

You know, as long
as we fight him,

he's still in our lives,

and we just need
a fresh start away from him

and all that nonsense.

No, no.
Don't let them do this!

- Mr. Fallin, tell them to fight!
- Andrea.

Don't you want a house
for the baby?

TOM: We'll have a house.
Just later.

[Sighs]

Let her go,
Let her go.

She's got a right to be upset.

We appreciate all that
you've done, Mr. Fallin.

You certain?

Yeah.

All right.
I'll move on the TPR.

The priest told my mother

that if she prayed
for my father,

maybe he'd stop doing drugs.

At school they said that being
a drug addict is a disease,

but it's not a disease
'cause you can stop it.

Cancer is a disease!

I agree.

And then Brendan...

My dad always called
him his best boy

because he always did
what he wanted him to.

The old people said
that God took him,

but I don't believe that.

My father threw him away.

And I told my father that
if he ever did drugs

in front of Brendan or Kristen,
I'd call the cops,

and that's why he left
Brendan outside.

Andrea.

What happened
was not your fault.

I know.

In my head, but still...

You're with
very good people now.

Yeah, they are.

And what if there is
no heaven and hell?

When do they get
what they deserve?

You think if I went out for
ice cream again with my dad

and was real nice to him,
that he'd give Tom's money back?

I don't know.

Yeah, that's OK.

I know there's nothing more
you can do for us.

LULU: Good night.

Mrs. Olsen?

Yeah.

You just couldn't
stay away, could you?

I'm not here to
cause any trouble.

OK, James.
It's OK.

Mr. Gregg,
come... come to my office.

These are to thank you
for not calling the police

and apologize
for losing my temper.

Your wife doesn't
want to stay with you.

Do you understand that?

Oh, she... she will.

I just need to get
myself back together...

Mr. Gregg, listen to me.

She won't.

How do you know?

Because she came here
and I spoke to her.

So... what do I do?

You, uh, you need
to sign these divorce papers.

Go to your
therapy sessions.

Put the same effort
into starting a new life

as you are trying to save
your marriage.

You know, I, uh,

I shouldn't have said
those things about

your husband's picture.

A marriage is between
a man and a woman.

That's all right.

You really are doing
the right thing, you know,

by signing this.

Ah, I know.

It's what she wants.

But soon she'll be missing me

and she'll come crawlin' back.

Good luck, Mr. Gregg.

I won't need it.
She'll be back, Mrs. Olsen.

This is how we knew
to call you, Mr. Straka.

This was in his jacket.

Yeah, it's, uh, my jacket.
It's, uh, my $920 jacket.

They think he was
here all night.

You said the last time
you saw him

was yesterday afternoon?

Yeah, around 4:00.
He, uh, won a settlement.

Said he wanted to go out
and celebrate.

Drug overdose?

Hypoglycemic shock.

But if it was drugs,
that would explain

how he let it get to that point.

This was a few feet
from the body.

Why wouldn't he
take his medicine?

Your guess is as good as mine.

And it was laying right there.

OK, you gave me
the family's info,

I've got your numbers.

Do either of you have
anything else you can add

that would help us out here?

No, I mean, I hardly knew him.

- How about you?
- No, nothing.

Thanks, gentlemen.

JAKE: Well, it'll work out
for your clients.

The girls will get the money.

They will.

I've never had
a client die on me.

- I kinda feel bad for him.
- I don't.

I mean, how can a guy
end up like that

after everything we did for him?

MAN: Lce Cream Shop.

1300 Hudson Boulevard.

D.O.A. White male.
Medic on the scene.

WOMAN ON RADIO: What's the story
on that, base?
