Hey. Just got a message
from your dad's secretary.

What's up?

NICK: I don't know.

She just said,
"Come in early."

BURTON: Good morning.

Oh, good. You got those.

So, you know American Hydrant

is buying Trison Irrigation.

NICK: Right.

This is
a complicated deal.

I've been working on this
for 3 months.

Both companies
have prickly owners,

to say the least.

So, what do
you want us to do?

Well, American Hydrant
wants to do this now

or not at all.

They pushed the closing
two weeks to this Friday.

OK.

The thing is,
I've gotta be away

from the office for a day.

I've got a little
personal matter,

but I need you
to take charge of it

until I get back tomorrow.

- We'll get onto it.
- OK.

Dad.

What's the personal matter?

Oh, I, uh, I've got that eye
surgery this afternoon.

The same laser process
they used last year,

only this time
it's on my left eye.

Glaucoma.

Well, I'll drive you.

No, no. I've got a car.
Thanks, anyway.

I can take you.

No, please, don't.
I need you here.

I'll get there, thanks.

OK.

Hey, yo, stop
messin' around, man.

I'm makin' oatmeal.

We gotta finish
these dishes by 8:30

or we on report.

MAN: Morning P.T. Activities
for classes 4 and 2

have been moved to the west side
of the school.

STUDENT: Levi, we're
out of detergent.

So?

So I gotta go get some.

Yes, you do, and hurry up.

I ain't doin'
all this by myself.

[Sighs]

That was fast. Give it here.

You get beat in,
you get beat out.

[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

MAN: Our school
has an honor code,

and every student
is expected to follow it

and report those who don't.

We asked your nephew
to tell us who did this.

He's refused.

So you're threatening
to expel him?

Well, frankly,
he's lucky he hasn't

been expelled sooner.

Levi's hardly been
a model resident here.

Frankly, you're lucky
I don't sue you

for negligent supervision.

How the hell
did you let this happen?

This school is full
of gang members, Mr. Mooney.

We keep control
the best we can.

By throwing out the kids
who get beat up

for quitting the very gangs
you're talking about?

No. By implementing
an honor code

and by enforcing the rules.

Maybe he can identify
who did this to him.

Levi told a school
counselor this morning

that he was glad he
was finally "beat out"

by his former gang.

He also said he would
never name them.

Listen, Levi, I commend
your decision

to leave the gang, I really do,

but if you don't name
the kids in this tape,

I have no choice

but to schedule
a disciplinary hearing

and have you transferred back

into the juvenile
corrections system.

[Sighs]

Levi...

do you want to tell
Mr. Kolbrenner

who did this to you?

Let's go.

You try to expel my nephew,
I'll see you in court first.

Only reason he's doin'
this is 'cause of the fire.

I mean, he doesn't care
if I got my ass whipped.

He just cares something
happened on his watch.

Levi, this is the third time
I've been called down here

for this sort of crap.

Third time.

I mean, don't think Kolbrenner's
gonna go light on you

just because
you quit your gang.

The fact that you were in it
in the first place

is bad enough.

You know I can't
say nothin', man.

If you don't, they'll
send you to juvie

until you're 21.

So?

So that's 4 more years
of your life

when you could have been
out of here in a month.

4 more years for protectin'
a group of kids who beat you up?

It's not them
I'm looking to protect.

Feel me?

ALVIN: Right this way.
Take your time.

Here's my office.
Just have a seat.

Thank you.

- You know who that is?
- No.

Sparky Walters.

Sparky Walters,
relief pitcher for the Pirates.

Played in
the '60 World Series.

Sparky Walters.
You don't know him?

A little before my time.

My dad and I were huge fans.

Well, that's good for you.

Can I ask you
a contracts question?

Yeah, sure.

Sparky invested money
in a restaurant,

also lent them some of
his personal property.

Business went under,

he's hoping
to get his stuff back,

but now his former partner

is about to auction it off.

Well, I would petition
for an injunction

to stop the auction,

then move for
equitable repLevin.

Nick, can I talk
to you for a minute?

Sure.

Levi got beat up this morning

during his kitchen detail.

Fire starts, security camera
only picks up him

because the other kids
are wearing hoods.

Now the school director says

if he doesn't identify them,
he'll go to juvie.

He was transferred
from the Shuman Center

to North Castle, right?

I know Scott Kolbrenner.

We go back to when he was
Juvenile P.D.

You got some pull
with Kolbrenner?

Yeah.

OK, I'll be right there.
Um, l... I have to go.

Thank you, Nick.

Please,
let me handle this.

- Thank you.
- No problem.

Mr. Walters.

Oh. Call me Sparky.

Ah, Sparky, sorry
to keep you waitin'.

DOCTOR: A hyphema.

Multiple broken
blood vessels in the eye.

There's excessive bleeding,

which has caused
loss of vision.

Temporary.

Um, more often than not,
when this happens,

vision clears
after a few days.

- So he's blind in his left eye?
- For now.

Well, he... he doesn't have very
good vision in his right eye.

We're aware of that.

Now, for
the next couple of days,

your father is going
to need strict bed rest,

preferably
at a 45-degree angle,

eye drops 3 times a day,
and he'll need to wear

the shield over his eye
to protect it.

If he doesn't
follow this regimen,

the vision loss
could be permanent.

Thanks, doc. Thank you.

OK, now
you got everything?

Yeah.

I hate to be a pain
in the ass, but, uh,

you can stay in your old room.

No, you stay with me.

I'm not going to sleep
in my old room.

- Why not?
- Dad, just stay with me, OK?

ALVIN: School's
lookin' great, Scott.

Thank you, we try.
You know it's not easy.

Ah, you're doing good work.

You're here about Levi Mooney.

Yeah. Listen,

Levi's a good kid. He, uh...

Alvin. Heh.
He's far from a good kid.

Manslaughter charges, drugs,
gang affiliations, fights.

If it weren't for his uncle,

this kid would be in prison
right now.

Well, sending him back to juvie

is not going to do him
any good, that's for sure.

Listen, I was hoping...

What? You were hoping that I
would look the other way?

Alvin, I've got over
200 boys in this school.

About a hundred of them
are gangbangers,

you know, covering
a half a dozen gangs.

The only reason I don't have
a homicide every day here

is because these kids know
if they screw up,

they're going right back
to juvie, no exceptions.

But in this case...

Levi knows the names
of fellow residents

who've committed a felony.

He won't identify them.

That's a violation
of the honor code.

Look, I know you wanted
the Associate Director

position at the clinic.

- Alvin...
- I know you were disappointed

when I gave it to Louisa Archer.

Oh, Alvin, look,

don't flatter yourself,
OK, man? I'm happy here.

And I make as big a difference
in kids' lives as you do,

if not more.

But the fact remains,

Levi Mooney is covering
up for criminals.

If I don't enforce
my rules with him

with swiftness,
with clarity, boom,

I've got total chaos here.

Chaos.

Yeah, look, uh,

it looks like
45 degrees. Try it.

[Sighs]

Does it feel like 45 degrees?

- I guess.
- OK.

All right, is there...

is there
anything else you need?

No. Uhh.

Oh, Dad, let me
get you an ashtray.

Here. I'm sorry.

That's OK. It's fine.

Oh, you got a radio?

NICK: Yeah. Sure.

NPR?

Oh, ho ho ho,
socialist bastards.

No.

What do you want?

92.2, country.

[Country music playing]

Just, uh...

it's kind of expensive.

Ahem, you know... you know,

I can cancel
the rest of my day.

Nicholas.

We got a little merger
going here, remember?

- Yeah.
- OK.

I'll come back later.

I'll just, uh,
check on you, OK?

Oh. I'm gonna... I'm gonna need
some cigarettes, Nicholas.

Uh, I'll pick you up a pack.

And get me a... a carton.

OK.

Oh, and a coffee,

regular coffee,
big cup, not that, uh,

espresso crap.

Where will I get that?

Convenience store.

OK. I'll be back in a minute.

All right.

So, you speak
to Kolbrenner?

Yeah, yesterday.

How'd it go?

Coffee?

James,

he wouldn't budge.

I thought you were
tight with this guy.

I thought I was.

You know,

that's great, Alvin.

How long do I
have to keep paying

for this thing, James?

You know, I mean,
I didn't sentence the kid.

I certainly wasn't
beating up on him.

I tried.

I drove all the way
down there, on my time,

and I met with Kolbrenner.

But the problem isn't
my relationship with him.

The problem is Levi.

He's been nothing
but a pain in the ass

since the moment
he arrived at North Castle,

and Kolbrenner is only
too happy to see him go.

Sparky, how are you?

Mr. Masterson.

I brought in some of my old,
uh, Pirates yearbooks today.

I thought
we'd take a look at them.

You hear that?

Yeah.

Do you think you can help?

Well, I don't really know
this Kolbrenner guy.

No. Levi, can you
represent him in court?

Can't you do it?

Everyone in the system

knows he was taken
out of my custody.

It wouldn't look good for me
to represent him in court.

Is... is it an L.S.P. Case?

Not officially.

Well, it doesn't
apply to my hours.

Lulu.

LULU: Yeah.
Levi's case.

Can we cover it here?

LULU: I don't know. Why not?

It applies.

I scheduled a hearing
yesterday just in case

Alvin couldn't
work it out with Kolbrenner.

OK. When is it?

In an hour.

Come on.
I'll brief you on the way.

ATTORNEY: When Levi Mooney was
taken from his uncle's care

and given the choice
between juvenile detention

and a reformatory
schooling program,

he chose reform school.

And North Castle
has an honor code

which requires residents
to report all misdeeds

committed by fellow students.

It was a deal he agreed to.

Now he doesn't want to uphold
his end of the bargain,

and North Castle is well within
its rights to expel him for it.

Mr. Fallin, is there any reason

why I shouldn't
agree with miss Heller?

Yes, the First Amendment.

JUDGE: What about it?

It protects not only
the right to free speech,

but also freedom
from compelled speech.

If North Castle cannot
force a child to recite

the Pledge of Allegiance,

how can it make him speak the
names of alleged assailants?

But didn't Levi Mooney agree
to the terms of the honor code?

A person cannot contract out
their Constitutional rights.

We're not setting Constitutional
precedent here, Mr. Fallin.

Levi Mooney willingly agreed

to abide by North Castle's
honor code

in exchange for the right
to attend that institution.

If he doesn't
comply with the code,

he can be transferred to
juvenile detention

until the age of 21.

The decision is his.

[Bangs gavel]

KOLBRENNER: Nice going.
Thank you.

NICK: We have a proposal...

transfer Levi to Christian
Boys' Academy tonight.

Well, that's an institution
for first-time offenders.

I'm, uh, afraid
Levi's a little advanced

for Christian Boys' Academy.

JAMES: Look,
he'll be miles away

from North Castle
and the kind of kids

that'll seek retribution
for his talking.

You do this, you get the names.

You don't, you have 3 kids
running around North Castle

bragging about how
they burned down the school

and never got caught.

We'll need judicial approval.

You can go to chambers
right now.

JAMES:
Huh, academy. Ha ha.

It's out near this farm.

Uh, you'll like it.

MAN: All students should
be in their beds.

Lights out in 15 minutes.

JAMES: I know you didn't
want to name those kids.

But... I know
you can't see it,

but later on you will.

It's like you just
traded up for a chance

at a better life.

Good school,

maybe college.

I know you can't see it now,

but you will.

How do you know?

Place you're going,
I went there for a while.

What for?

Got into trouble.

What kind of trouble
you get into?

Doesn't matter.

What matters is... is that
I straightened myself out.

Got my head on right
and got out of gang life.

They got cows
out by that school?

Why?

Well, I lived in Pennsylvania
my whole life.

Never saw a cow.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

I'll come up and
see you next weekend.

Bet.

BURTON: Hey.
NICK: Hey.

What are you doing?

Trying to make some coffee.

L... I can't do this.

Let me try.

You hungry?

No. I'm short of smokes.

I got you 2 packs
yesterday.

I asked you to get me
a carton, remember?

I can't make coffee.
I don't have a grinder.

I'll pick some up
for you when I go out.

You know, Dad, you know
what you need? A nurse.

A nurse?

Yeah, that's what I said.

For cripes sake,
I'm not dying here.

I don't want some 200-pound
Jamaican lady

watching me take a piss.

Did you put
your eye drops in today?

Tried.

You haven't used
these drops once, Dad.

The seal, it's still
here. I thought it...

Give me a break, OK?

I can't see.

Take your shield off.

Put your head back.

[Sighs] You know I was
sitting around here today...

You gotta keep
your eye open, Dad.

My eye is open.
You missed it.

Sitting around here today...

Wider. Got it.

Something was bothering me.
I couldn't figure it out.

And all of a sudden
it hit me.

It's too damn quiet.

What do you mean?

This place here.

Phone doesn't ring,
nothing moves.

Whatever happened to that dog?

- Bart?
- Bart.

Whatever happened to him?

I gave him to a family
in Washington County.

They had a farm.

You should've kept him.

Why is that?

You need a friend.

OK. Well, uh,
I'm just gonna go out

and pick up your dinner.

Cigarettes.

And your carton of cigarettes
and some coffee.

BURTON: Good.

[Country music playing]

And... and what is
this obsession you have

with country music?
I mean...

it's not the country.
We live in Pittsburgh.

[Breathing heavily]

Alvin?

You all right?

He's dead.

What?

Levi Mooney.

Got killed last night at
the Christian Boys' Academy.

What?

Some kids from the city
broke into his dorm.

Oh, no.

Shoved rocks in his mouth.

In his mouth.

Choked him to death.

God, in his room.

- Did they catch them?
- No.

But they know
they were gang members.

The cops came by the clinic

an hour ago.

James has been in court
the whole time. [Sighs]

I would not bet on the Cowboys,
not this year,

not with that spread.

NICK: No, no, you can't do it.

No. I'll tell him.
I'll tell him.

NICK: James.

Can we talk for a second?

MAN: See you later, James.

There's been
an incident, uh...

Levi, um...

he was killed last night.

I'm sorry.

James.

James.

James, I'm so sor...

NICK: Let him go,
just let him go.

Go with James.

He shouldn't
have to go there alone.

James, you need a ride home?

I gotta...

go see my sister.

Well, listen, I can... I can give
you a ride there if you want.

I gotta tell her
her boy's dead. L...

I know. I know.

I gotta...

I gotta go tell her,
and then I gotta go deal

with the kids who did this.

LULU: This is your file.
Take it around the corner

to my office.
I'll be right there.

Uh, Karen,
call Judge Damsen's clerk.

Tell him I'm running late,
please.

NICK: Lulu.

Hey. Go see Alvin.

- What is it?
- Just go see him.

He's in his office.

Alvin.

[Snoring]

Ugh.

Hey.

- Hey, Alvin.
- [Grunting]

Wake up.

Ohhh.

He's drunk.

[Sighs] How's James?

He's gone to see his sister.

All right. Well, I'm
trying to get continuances

for everything, and James' cases
are actually cleared,

but Alvin has something
in 15 minutes, and l...

Yeah, I'll take it.
I'll take it.

- Great. OK.
- You have the file?

We do. Walters case.

A guy who played
football or something.

[Siren in distance]

[Hip-hop music and chatter]

Jimmy, what the hell
you doin' around here?

Came up for a visit.

Now, I haven't seen you
in a very long time.

Haven't been around here.

Heard about your nephew.

That why you here?

I need something
from you, Winston.

Man, you know
I wanna help you,

but the guys who did this,

goin' after them
could cause some problems.

All the gangs, we
sort of got a truce goin'.

I never told on you.

Did I?

What are you talkin' 'bout?

When I went to juvie,

you know they offered
me a plea bargain.

I never told them
what you did.

You said you owed me
if I ever needed anything.

So now
you come collectin'.

NICK: Sorry about
the mix-up, Mr. Walters.

My case was almost thrown out.

Yeah, that's my fault.

Uh, Alvin
just gave me the case.

I, um... I got held up
with a personal matter.

Well, why did Mr. Masterson
give you my case?

Uh, Alvin
is out sick today.

Oh.

Ohh.

So apparently there's
a personal property issue?

Oh, yeah. That's my,
uh, World Series jersey.

See, I lent it to my partner.

The guy in there, Belasky?

You see,
we opened this place,

Sparky's Steak House,

and we had the jersey
up on the wall.

Well, when
the business went down,

Belasky took my jersey.

Now he's auctioning it off
on the Internet for 6,000 bucks.

Well, um...

well, we'll have a new hearing
date in a day or 2,

and I'll call you.

Right. Right, OK. Yeah.

Thank you.

So American Hydrant needs
an environmental survey

because, um,

they think that maybe
Trison's Sharpsburg plant

may have polluted
the Allegheny River.

OK.

What do we have here...

so, who's, uh...

who's paying for the tests?

We are.

Ok, call Ron Mahoney
in Philly.

Eastern Environmental Labs.

Uh, I've worked
with his group before.

Environmental labs.
They're good?

Yeah, well, they understand
how to interpret data

in a way that's
not gonna kill this deal.

And they get it done fast?

We should have
preliminary results

within 24 hours.

OK. Um, well, we're... we're way
behind on everything else.

We need to, uh,

finish
our closing documents

and, uh,
finalize our opinion.

But some of this stuff...
I mean, l... l...

your dad... his writing...
I mean, l...

it... it's
like hieroglyphics.

[Cell phone ringing]

Yeah.

Lulu.

Hey.

He puked 3 times.
He's still in the bathroom.

OK.

Sorry. I didn't know
who else to call.

No, you're right. Go home.

It's fine.
I'll take care of him.

- You sure?
- Yeah.

[Alvin vomiting
and gagging]

[Exhales]

NICK: You need to
pull yourself together.

I covered your case
with Walters today.

I got a continuance
through Friday.

[Drunkenly]
Sparky Walters.

I wouldn't know it
to look at him now,

but he was
a hell of a reliever.

Hell of an arm.

Drink this.

Thanks.

[Gagging and coughing]

Ohh! Gee.

[Exhales]

Levi's funeral is
tomorrow morning.

You gotta be there,
and you gotta be sober.

ALVIN: I just went into the bar
at the Grant Hotel.

Take the edge off.

Had one drink.

[Cell phone rings]

Yeah.

Yeah. OK.
I'll be right there.

Dad, I will
be right there, OK?

[Knock on door]

That you, Jimmy?

JAMES: Yeah.

Got what you need.

You sure it's right?

Got what you need.

You want a hand?

No. I'm not gonna...

no.

You're not gonna what?

[Sighs]

Just wanted to know.

Now you do.

Dad, why are you working?

Well, Jake called and said
you were nowhere around,

so I had Gretchen bring over
some of the Trison paperwork.

You're supposed to be resting.

You're supposed to be
45 degrees.

And you're supposed to be
covering this deal, Nicholas!

Well, things
are just a little...

What?

James Mooney's nephew
was murdered in a...

Oh, my God. I'm sorry.

Yeah. Uh, Alvin's...

I'm just covering for a lot of
people right now, OK?

You want me to come back
into the office?

No, I can take care of it.

Your Chinese food's
in the bag.

I got some, uh, talking books.

I have a player here.

When's the boy's funeral?

Tomorrow morning.

Make sure you send some flowers
to the family from the firm

and see if they need
anything in any way.

Yeah, sure. OK. Um...

you're OK for cigarettes.

Uh, I gotta get back to work.

Thanks.

James, I'm sorry.

You know, I'm...
I'm not good at these.

Yeah.

You know,
when my mom died...

When your mother died?

Yeah.

You know, I don't
mean to, but...

How old was your mother?

- James...
- Was she 16?

No.

Was it your job
to take care of her?

Were you entrusted
with her care?

No.

Did some teenage punk sh...

shove rocks
into your mother's mouth

until she choked to death?

What you said about dealing with
the kids who did this...

You're not gonna...

Jerry, another.

Jerry.
[Knocks glass on bar]

I want another, please.

Sorry, Alvin.

Why are you sorry?

I called a cab. Go home.

No. No.

You said you were sorry.

Why would you be sorry?

You're drunk.

Are you sorry
because you ended up

a 40-year-old bartender
working the day shift?

Go to hell.

OK.

I will.

Kate.

Alvin.

Kate.

I wanted to tell you something.

What is it, Alvin?

About the kids' contract

and your clinic, the, uh...

children's project.

Yeah.

I don't resent you getting it,

and I think you do
exceptional work.

Thank you.

And I was wondering

if you might buy me a scotch.

Alvin. [Chuckles]

No.

So...

you're in cahoots.

In cahoots with Jerry
the Aging Bartender!

I'm not in cahoots.

All of you are in cahoots!

Alvin.

It's time to go.

I called a cab.

I don't want a cab.

It's time.

Yeah?

Well, in that case, Jerry,

up your ass.

All of you.

[Knock on door]

Listen, Alvin,
I covered for you

with the Walters case.

I got a new hearing scheduled.

I told your other clients that
you would be available

to work for them today.

- I can't.
- Oh, you can't?

Well, you have
to sober up, Alvin.

I'm not drunk.

- OK.
- I'm not.

Well, why don't you go to
one of your little meetings?

- What?
- Oh, you're "Mr. AA." Come on.

Who the hell are you?

Who the hell are you
to tell me about a meeting?

Whatever.

[Sobbing]

I killed that kid, Nick.

I'm the one that
called Social Services.

I took him away from James.

Alvin.

Look, you really
should go to a meeting.

I can't.

No.

OK. Fine.

Fine, you know, 'cause, uh,
you wanna take a fall?

Is this
what you wanna do?

You wanna go that way?

I'll go. I'll go with you.
Let's do it together.

OK?

You know, you
didn't kill the kid.

You're not
that powerful, Alvin.

Levi's death, it wasn't...

it wasn't about you.

You didn't kill him.

The question is whether or not
we wanna hire another expert.

It's a lot of money.

Yeah, it's a lot of money.
It's our money.

What are you doing, Dad?

Your job.

Go home.

The environmental report
came in.

The, uh, soil readings
don't look very good.

What does it say?

Well, the, uh, factory land
is polluted.

How badly?

JAKE: Borderline,
but the question is

whether or not
Trison is responsible.

Well, I'll order
a new report.

I'm gonna have to revise
the merger agreement

to provide for a hold-back
in the amount

of estimated clean-up costs.

Don't forget the
indemnification agreement.

What's American Hydrant
saying?

They haven't seen
the report yet.

BURTON: Well,
they will tomorrow.

We have, uh,

one day to get ready.

Then they walk.

NICK: OK, well, I'm here now.

I'm gonna rework
the whole deal, OK?

Dad, come on. You need to go
and lie down in your office.

- I've got work to do here.
- Dad, go home.

OK!

Fine. I'll go to my office
and lie down.

- OK?
- All right.

- Great.
- Good.

Here's your cigarettes.

[Door closes]
NICK: Sorry about that.

What is it?

We have a visitor.

ALVIN: Ohh!

How ya doin', Burton?

Been better, Alvin.

Been better.

[Radio playing
country music]

[Woman singing] You wrap
your arms around me

But I have no time...

Hey, Jake.

Hey.

Ahem. Uh...

th-this is a two-person job.

Yeah, you're right.

Listen, why don't you go to your
office, get some sleep.

I'll... I'll wake you
in a couple of hours.

OK? Is that coffee fresh?

Yeah.

Great.

[Blinds opening]

JAKE: Nick.

Damn it, Nick.
You didn't wake me up.

NICK: Ohh, what time is it?

JAKE: Meeting's in an hour.

Did... did you finish the, uh...
the revised merger agreement?

Yeah. Yeah, most of it.

Most of it?

It's there.

Ahem. OK.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait.
No. No... no way.

NICK: I'm due in court.

Alvin.

Nick.

Are you feeling better?

Yeah, great. I'm, uh... I'm fine.

Sparky's my client.
I'm here to argue the case.

- You sure?
- Yeah.

OK. Great.

Hey, Nick. I...

I'm sorry

for what I said
about your mother.

It wasn't right.

[Crying]
I went and...

I got the names

of the kids who did this

and their addresses.

L... I know
I sh-should go t...

to the police.

You can't...
you can't get even.

- I know.
- You can't.

I know that.

OK, I know now, all right?

I know.

So let me take
this thing to the police.

Uh-uh. Let me.

Are you gonna
do it right now?

I'll do it later.

I promised my sister
I'd come by.

You're gonna do it, right?

I'll do it later.

I'll tell you what.

I'll meet you at
the Incline at 6:00.

I'll see you there.

Oh, Mr. McLean.

We lost the deal.

And we lost the client.

BURTON: I, uh, talked to
McLean over at Trison.

NICK: Right.

BURTON: He said the meeting
was a disaster.

They've been our clients
for 25 years.

So, how are we doin'

Hi, doc. How you doin'

Let's just, uh, have a look.

Straight ahead, right?

Yeah. Hmm, this looks good.

This looks very good.

How are things
with the shield off?

I think they're clearer.

I mean, it's still
a little blurry,

but l... I think it's better.

Mmm, good.

Well, the blood should totally
clear in a few more days,

and your eyesight
should return to normal.

And what about work?
When can I go back to work?

I'd wait till next week.

Really?

Yeah. In the meantime,
stay in bed.

BURTON: I gotta
get back to work.

No, the doctor says
you need rest.

The doctor says
I'm doing better.

Dad, you don't
take your drops,

you don't wear your damn shield.
You need rest.

God knows I can't afford
to miss any more work.

Is that because of what
happened with Trison?

That was your deal
in the first place, Dad.

You didn't exactly give us
enough time to prep for it.

Son, look, I know
you've had a tough week,

but you can't let that
affect your work.

You gotta push through
these kind of things.

Yeah, like you have
for the last few days?

I was blind, Nicholas.

That's a great excuse.

I don't have one like that.

You know, you're really
worrying me, Nicholas.

What?

You don't have any friends.

You seem...

you seem isolated.

I open up my house to you,
and you scrutinize me.

Look, I worry about the fact

that if you don't find
something outside yourself,

you're gonna get back into...

- You worry about me?!
- Yes, I do.

- You ever look at yourself?
- What?

You ever take a moment
these last 3 days

to take a look at yourself?

What does that mean?

You're too busy sittin' on your
ass smokin' your cigarettes

and workin' out
what my problems are.

Listen.

Do you need a ride?

No, I don't.

I'll walk.

Alvin.

I wasn't drinkin'.

I didn't ask.

I went in there to apologize
to Jerry is all.

I didn't ask.

I lost the Sparky Walters case.

Well, what do you expect, Alvin?

You know, I got Sparky's
autograph once. See...

I waited for hours outside
the stadium one night

with my dad,

who was drunk.

These pro athletes, they were...

they were like gods to me.

My dad was just a schlub.

And I was never gonna be
like him.

OK.

Is James in there?

No, he, uh...

he didn't even
come to work today.

Why didn't you go
to the police, man?

No, don't... don't even think
you're goin' in there, James.

You think
you know the truth?

You think you know
what's goin' on?

You can't even be certain that
these are the guys.

You should go home, Nick,

considerin' your status,
your probation.

Yeah, I'll go home if you come
with me right now.

Go home, Nick.

You're not going
in there, James.

Anything could happen.

Let's just get in my car.

We'll take a drive.
We'll talk about this.

Get outta here.

Ride your ass up on outta here.

It's not gonna make it right.

Mmm.

- Morning.
- Morning, Nick.

Alvin make it in?

ALVIN: I'll file papers today.

You should have the answer
in about a week.

JAMES: Mr. Henner, your hearing
is Monday afternoon.

I'll meet you on the second
floor of the courthouse.

Uh, James, the Morgans
just left.

Could you take the hearing?

- Uh, sure.
- Thank you.

James.

If you didn't
want me to stop you,

why did you tell me
in the first place?

Hi, Mrs. Jenson. Come on in.

Hi, Sheila.
I've gone over your records.

ALVIN: Laurie Solt, please.

Thank you.

Hey. You have the Bennett
case at 11:00.

Right.
