Your parents have filed
a protection from abuse

order against you, Mr. Putinski.

Right. What does that mean?

Well, they're claiming
false imprisonment and abuse.

That's horsecrap.

They were abusing me.

Do you have any idea why they
would make these allegations?

Well, yeah, because they want
to kick me out of my house.

You know, the fact
that you're 28...

I think the judge might
sympathize with your parents.

[Sighs]

OK, here's the deal.

I was kind of famous
around here for a while.

OK.

I did some commercials.

I did this one commercial
that went national.

It was a running shoe
commercial with Joe Montana.

I made $18,000
off of that thing.

Now, my parents took that money,

and they used it
as a down payment for my house,

and now they're trying
to kick me out of it.

Well, you were a minor then,
so they were entitled to do

whatever they wanted
with your earnings.

You were a runner, too, right?

Uh, yeah. I was.
How'd you know that?

Oh, there was a picture
last time I was in here

of you finishing a marathon.

L-I 'm just very observant.
I notice things.

Guess that's why
I was a good actor.

I remember everything.

Hmm.

Last time I was here,

I remember you had
a white blouse and black slacks,

and you had
a lovely silver necklace

right across your neck.

Hmm.

But I bet you don't remember
what I was wearing, do you?

No.

And your husband's name
is Brian...

because it says it
right there on the calendar.

"Brian to New Mexico."

I can read upside down.

OK, uh, we're done here.
I have another appointment.

Oh, OK.

[Sighs]

Alvin, do you have my pen?

Which one?

My federal district court pen.

The black one?

Yeah.

No, sorry.

Uh, did Brian leave yet?

Yeah, he got on a plane
to New Mexico this morning.

Well, uh, tell him I hope
his mother gets well soon.

Yeah. Hey, are you sure
you don't have it?

Remember you used it to sign
that express package?

No.

Hey, James, do you
still have my stapler?

- What?
- My stapler.

It's gone. You borrowed it.

And I gave it back.

Oh, come on, I'm tired of people
taking my things!

A lot of things have been taken
from my office lately,

personal stuff, too.

Like what?

My favorite red sweater,

my mother-of-pearl
picture frame.

- You should lock your door.
- To my office?

That's what I do.

Great.

You have an aviary.

That's right.

And the city wants you
to take it down.

Before my wife died,

we were both very big
into bird-watching.

We took trips, traveled
around the state.

We cataloged every bird
living in Pennsylvania.

OK.

Then my eyes
got all shot to hell

and I couldn't
watch 'em anymore

unless they were up real close.

Sure, that would be...

- But I could hear them.
- True.

I can actually imitate
almost every bird

indigenous to Western PA...

cardinals, bluebirds, siskins,
finches, robins.

[Whistling like a bird]

Zee zee
zee zee zee zee!

[Whistles]
Zee zee zee zee zee zee!

[Telephone rings]

[Ring]

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

[Telephone rings]

[Ring]

Hello? Who is this?

Stop calling me.

JAKOB DYLAN: [Singing]
There is trouble in my mind

There is dark

There's dark, and there is light

There is no order,
but there is chaos

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

Take a seat.

Your honor,
this is Kyle Plunkett.

His mother was beaten up by her

live-in boyfriend yesterday.

She's expected to be released

from the hospital tomorrow.

Where's Kyle staying now?

NICK: At the Allegheny County
Children's Shelter.

Your honor, my client,
Bill Plunkett, is Kyle's father

and asks that Kyle
be placed with him.

NICK: He does not have
legal custody of his son.

The terms of his divorce gave
him supervised visitation only.

ATTORNEY: Why would
the court place the boy

in a strange environment when
he can be with his father?

My client doesn't
wish to be placed

even temporarily
with his father.

REBECCA: Just so I'm clear here,

Mr. Plunkett is not the man
who assaulted Sharon Plunkett?

MAN: That's correct,
your honor.

It was Mrs. Plunkett's
live-in boyfriend,

but while they were married,
Mr. Plunkett was abusive

towards Sharon Plunkett
as well.

Has he been abusive
toward his son?

MAN: There were allegations
by Mrs. Plunkett.

BILL: Never! I never hit my son.
My wife...

Mr. Plunkett...

I could never do
anything like that.

Mr. Plunkett.

Kyle, has your father
ever hit you?

Can you answer
my question, please?

Uh, your honor, my client
needs a brief recess.

Kyle Plunkett will
stay in his group home

until his mother's released
from the hospital.

MAN: The city tends to farm out
cases that...

BURTON:
Nobody else wants. I get it.

This case, if anybody's
gonna be quoted,

it's a little controversial.

Well, you don't want to get
your hands dirty, right?

My hands, my head, my shoes.

It's just a neighborhood
nuisance abatement.

We just don't want to come off

looking like
we're being aggressive.

Yeah, I see, yeah. Thank you.

See, it's the, uh, the 30-15...

[Door opens]

Afternoon, gentlemen.

Barbara.

I just spoke with Gene Everton,
the City Solicitor.

Looks like we're gonna be
handling some city business.

The city as a client?

Yeah, it turns out
the City of Pittsburgh

farms out about 20% of its work.

That could be significant
revenue for this firm,

so it's something
to think about.

Uh, Jake and I
have been pursuing

a D.B.H. Land Development
for well over 6 months.

So?

JAKE: So the city and D.B.H.
Have a conflict.

They're suing each other
over a zoning issue.

Well, we just
won't get involved

with that particular lawsuit,

uh, get waivers
from both clients.

We should nail down D.B.H.

Before we start dumping
conflicts on them.

Well, why does one
exclude the other?

- It's a risk. Yeah.
- It's a risk.

Well, the city's a solid client.

It's good money,
a long-term relationship.

D.B.H. Will attract
more developers.

It's a great opportunity
for growth.

JAKE: I think we should vote.

- I agree.
- Vote?

On which client to sign.

You gotta be kidding.

No, you get your waivers
and I'll get mine.

So, what's next here?

Mr. Copeland?

Hello?

Oh, Mr. Copeland?

Mr. Copeland?

COPELAND: Huh?

Hi. I'm Burton Fallin.

Who are ya?

I'm an attorney.
I work for the city.

Oh, God.

I understand some inspectors
came out here a couple times

and asked you
to clean up the place.

Well, it's my property,
my birds.

Well, uh, actually,
some people are complaining

about the birds.

They're saying
they're a nuisance.

Yeah, I'll tell you
what a nuisance is.

It's that Leslie kid
who lives next door

playin' that rap music
loud enough to wake the dead,

and it's Mike Meguer!

He lives right down
the block here.

Drivin' his motorcycle
at 2 A.M. In the morning.

It's the neighbors, sir,
that are complaining,

and the school down the street,

they're the ones that are
complaining about the noise

and the smell and the bird crap.

You don't see me
complaining to the city

about the school and
all the noise they make

or the traffic.

Well, actually, sir,
I thought that maybe,

you know, just you and I
could, um, resolve this thing

so we don't have to resort
to some formal legal action.

You didn't come by here to see
if you could resolve this.

You came by here to threaten me.

No, I didn't, I promise you.

And there's no
scum-sucking shyster

who's going to intimidate me.

Sir, I'm just trying
to be civil, all right?

I have a lawyer,

and he will sue your ass
right out of business.

Oh, OK.

We can do this in court.

- All right.
- Yeah.

Yeah, good,
well, you better run.

I hear an ambulance.

Do ya?

[Chuckles] OK.

Burton.

I spoke to D.B.H.

They won't sign the
engagement letter yet.

They want to sit down
with all 3 of us.

They want to talk to you
about this whole thing

before they'll consider
a waiver.

OK.

So tomorrow at 1:00
in the conference room,

we'll seal the deal.

- All right, I'll be there.
- Good.

[Knock on door]

[Knock on door]

Lulu.

Someone broke into my house.

What? Are you OK? Come on in.

Yeah, I wasn't there
when it happened,

and, uh, the police came

and gave a report,
but I'm freaked out.

Brian's not home, and I just
don't want to stay there.

I hate to barge in.

No, are you kidding? Sit down.

Tried to call you,
but the line was busy.

- Oh, God. I'm sorry.
- No, it's fine.

Nick, someone broke
into Lulu's place.

- Yeah, I heard. You OK?
- Yeah, I'm OK.

- What did they take?
- Nothing.

- They just returned stuff.
- What?

I had stuff missing from work.

Someone took things
from my office last week,

and then they broke into
my house and returned them.

Did anyone see anything?

No. The police talked
to the neighbors, and...

i... I can go to a hotel.

No, no, you're staying here.

I'm leaving now, anyway.

LULU: No, don't go.
Please stay.

I mean, right now,
the more, the merrier.

Yeah. Let me get you a drink.

That, I suppose, makes
everything quite all right.

Oh, this?

Well, I like privacy
when I retire.

Yes, I'm very delicate
in that respect.

Prying eyes annoy me.

Behold the walls of Jericho.

Uh, maybe not as thick
as the ones

that Joshua blew down
with his trumpet,

but a lot safer.

You see, I have no trumpet.

Oh, sorry. Too loud?

No, no, that's OK.

I couldn't sleep.

Hmm.

You want to sit?

Unless she's...

She's asleep.

- Thanks.
- Mm-hmm.

Cookie?

No, thank you.

Have you looked in Kim's pantry?

No.

One side's all healthy stuff,
and the other side is all junk.

She uses it to bribe Matty.

Well, I can see which
side you've been on.

I just don't know
how she stays so skinny.

She obviously has more
self-control than I do.

You think?

Shut up.

CLARK GABLE:
Still with me, Red?

Aw, don't be a sucker.

If I ever have kids,

I definitely will
have to use something

other than food
as a motivational tool.

GABLE: The walls of
Jericho will protect you

from the Big Bad Wolf.

GABLE: [Singing] Who's afraid
of the Big Bad Wolf?

Can I tell you something?

Sure.

I ate Matty's last Twinkie.

GABLE: [Singing]
Tra-la-la-la-la

Does that make me a bad person?

I think so.

It does?

You know, if you need someone
to watch over your house...

or somewhere to stay...

Where would I stay?

Well, I have extra rooms.

Oh, yeah? You have guests?

You don't strike me as the...

Sometimes.

I think most of your guests
end up in your bedroom.

Sometimes.

CLAUDETTE COLBERT: By the way,
what's your name?

LULU: Hey, Kim. Sorry,
I didn't mean to wake you.

No, it's fine.

I think everyone's having
trouble sleeping.

CLARK: I'm the whippoorwill
that cries in the night.

Yeah.

- Hey.
- Hey.

How ya doin'

- OK. Better.
- Good, good.

I, uh, I talked to Alvin

about increasing security
in the building...

and I told Alvin that, um,

I would take over
some of your cases.

No, you don't have to do that.
I can handle them.

KIM: There you are. Hey.

LULU: Hey, thanks
for coming over.

Yeah, I talked to some people.
I got some good information.

Oh, great.

Yeah. Uh, I gotta
ask Lulu some questions.

Look, I know you don't want
to consider yourself a victim,

but just get over it.
You are.

First of all, don't change
your phone number.

Get a new number,
keep it unlisted,

give it only to your friends.

Let your answering machine
pick up your old line.

Keep a log of any
suspicious occurrences

and let everyone know
that you're being stalked,

so they keep their eyes open,

and get a dog, Lulu,
not a puppy, a dog.

Now, I need names.

Names?

Yeah. People you think
might do this.

Maybe ex-boyfriends.

Uh, boyfriends?
I've been with Brian forever.

So you haven't been
involved with anybody else?

No.

OK. Anybody else come to mind?

Well, I have a client,
uh, Gavin Putinski.

His parents got a protection
from abuse order against him,

and, I don't know,
he's a little...

- I get a vibe.
- OK.

Uh, also, this ex-con,
Albert Gregg.

He sort of assaulted me
in my office.

Oh, that'll do.

And, um...

No, that's it.

- What?
- What?

You had another name.

Oh, no, no, no. It's nobody.

Who?

Uh, well, a guy.

This guy, Brent Harris,

he, uh, he owns the gym
that I work out in.

What, he's been harassing you?

No, we just...
We had lunch last month.

Well, was it more than lunch?

No.

I mean, there was
a little flirtation, but...

You suspect him?

No. Forget it. He's married.

I'm lookin' for Nicholas Fallin.

Over there.

Sharon Plunkett.

You represented my son Kyle
in a placement hearing.

How do you do?

My ex-husband bill
filed an emergency

modification
of custody order.

There's gonna be
a hearing on it.

He wants full custody of Kyle

and says I should have only
supervised visitation.

You're in an abusive
relationship

with your boyfriend?

Ex-Boyfriend.
Bill's one to talk.

You want to see abusive?
Bill did that to me.

4 years ago.

You should take those
to your lawyer.

My ex would smack Kyle, too,
across the face.

You know that scar
by Kyle's eye?

Uh, no.

When he was 2, Kyle
broke the TV remote...

Mrs. Plunkett,

I'm your son's lawyer,
not yours, OK?

- Well, Kyle will tell you.
- Excuse me.

His father can't
take care of a kid.

He'll tell you. Just ask him.

How'd it go?

Lu's fine. I gotta
get back to work.

Well, I'm leaving now, too.

OK.

So I'm checking out
some L.S.P. Clients...

Albert Gregg
and Gavin Putinski.

All right.

Did you know that Lulu went out
with some married guy?

What do you mean,
she went out with?

Lunch.

I mean, she said
nothing happened.

She's the straightest
person I know.

Yeah.

Then she tells me that she
went out with some married guy.

It's...

You free this Friday night?

Yeah, this Friday
Paul has Matty.

You're gettin' to know
my schedule better than me.

So, uh...

What are we talkin' about?

Dinner.

Del Fortino's?

Sure, Del Fortino's it is.

Wow. What's the occasion?

OK, D.B.H. Is looking
over the documents.

That'll buy us about 5 minutes.

He'll make it.

WOMAN: Nick.

Your dad just called.
He's held up in court.

Well, looks like we have to do
this ourselves.

- They asked to see your dad.
- Yeah.

OK, well, change of plans...

Russell Perkins, Maity Dyke,
Kelly Rooney, William Torris,

and Gregory Sachs.

We'll also be calling
James O'Malley,

Colin Logue, Jeff Mogotoff,

Robert Brown,
and Melissa Henninger.

Well, that's 33 witnesses
by my count, your honor.

Each witness has relevant
and non-cumulative evidence

and should be heard.

Well...

Yeah.

Maybe your dad'll cut us in
on the city deal.

Lulu.

What are you doing here?

We need to talk.

We talked yesterday.

Can we go in your office?

What is it, Mr. Putinski?
I'm very busy right now.

I know why my parents

have filed this action
against me.

Why?

Why can't we go
into your office?

Let's talk about this
in court, OK?

Listen...

I'm gay.

What?

I'm gay, and I'm
not exactly ready

to let the entire world know
my sexual preference.

The reason my parents
are freaked out

is because I have a friend
that comes over

and visits me at the house.

Whew. OK, there. I said it.

They didn't think that I'd have
the courage to admit it,

but I did.

Yeah, but why do they say that
you falsely imprisoned them?

They lock themselves
in that room

every time my friend
comes over and visits.

They're doing it to themselves.
I'm not doing that to them.

Well, they can't
get a protective order

just because you're gay.

They can't?

No, and I can just
put them on the stand

and have them swear
under penalty of perjury

that you abused them.

What if they lie?

Well, then you're gonna
have to tell the truth.

You OK with that?

[Door opens]

Hey.

Where were you today?

I called you.

No, you told me
you'd be there at 1:00.

I told you,
I was stuck in court.

You told me that
you would be there.

Nicholas, my first
responsibility is to my client.

I can't just walk out of court.

I understand that,
but D.B.H. Was ready to sign.

And now they're
with another firm.

Do you need me to call 'em?

I can call 'em.

I don't want you
to call them, all right?

I've been working
on this client for 6 months.

I needed you for half an hour.

I understand.

Gretchen, get me
Bill Becker at D.B.H.

Look, I can bail you out
of this right now.

I don't want you
to call him, all right?

Why not?

Well, how does it make me look?

I mean, you take on
this city work,

it's literally crap,
and I support you.

I support you as a partner.

I go to a potential
million-dollar-a-year client,

and I try to work things out,

and all I ask of you
is that you be there for me.

That's all.

Nicholas, you sound like, uh...

Like what?

Well... [Chuckles]

Are we talking as partners now,
or as father and son?

Well, clearly, I'm trying
to talk to you as a partner.

Trying, but, uh... never mind.

Never mind?

Uh, Mrs. Plunkett,
if you could just take a seat,

Kyle, we're gonna go

into this little office
here and talk, OK?

OK.

Who are you waiting for?

Mrs. Olsen.

What's your name?

Albert. Albert Gregg.

Your appointment,
I'll be handling it.

[Chuckles]
Mrs. Olsen's my lawyer.

I'm taking over the case.

It's just some final matters
on the divorce?

Says here that your wife

needs to sign over
the title to your car.

Uh-Huh. What's going on?

Look, if you step in my office,

when I finish dealing
with this gentlemen,

we can call your wife.

I don't see why
I have to change lawyers.

Just take a seat in my office.

I'll be right with you.

MRS. PLUNKETT:
Remember that time

you went to the carnival
when you were 5?

He pulled your hair
and slapped you?

You tell him about that.

OK, Kyle.

Do you remember
the time you broke the vase

and he gave you a fat lip?

Take a seat.

Is it true, the stuff
your mother said?

Can I see that for a minute?

My job is to represent you.

What do you want to do?

I wanna stay with my mom.

OK.

ALVIN: Mr. Copeland's aviary
doesn't hurt, annoy,

or discomfort the community.

Quite the contrary,
it enhances it.

You heard the testimony.

People actually
bring their families

to Mr. Copeland's house
to learn about birds.

He has opened up his yard
to the whole neighborhood

to share
and enjoy his passion.

BURTON: None of the witnesses

who testified
on Mr. Copeland's behalf

live anywhere
near Mr. Copeland.

They don't have
to deal with the noise,

the mess, but his neighbors
have a problem,

so they made several requests

for him to stop
building the birdhouses.

He ignored those requests,
he ignored the City Inspector,

and he refuses to compromise.

Now, I think,
under the circumstances,

the court has little choice

but to have those
structures removed.

You mean, I don't
get to keep any of them?

ALVIN: No, I'm sorry.

Mr. Fallin, I built
every one of those birdhouses

with my own hands,
every one of 'em.

For 30 years I've been
working on that stuff.

Do you know what it's like

to work on something
for 30 years?

Do ya, huh?

Yeah.

WOMAN: Mr. Plunkett has been
happily remarried for 2 years

without any problems.

MAN: Living away
from Sharon Plunkett would,

in effect, punish her for being
a victim of abuse,

first by her husband,
then by her boyfriend.

NICK: Excuse me.

Kyle?

Come inside.

KYLE: When I was little,
my dad got real mad

because I broke the TV remote,
and he gave me this scar.

NICK: How old were you
when that happened?

2.

You remember?

I think so.

Do you remember anything else
from when you were 2?

Does your mom talk about
your father hitting you?

Do you actually remember
your father ever hitting you?

You know, when
my parents got divorced,

my mom said a lot
of bad things about my dad.

Now, your parents, they can't
hear or see us right now, OK?

You ever remember
your dad hitting you?

[Sighs]

I don't know.

I'm not sure.

I think so.

My... My mom tells me stuff.

REBECCA: Thank you, Kyle.

Would you mind waiting
outside for a minute?

You can go right out there.

What do you think?

The fight between Sharon
and her boyfriend the other day.

The, uh... boyfriend
was hospitalized, too.

Claims he was defending himself.

Your honor, there are no records
of Kyle being treated

for any injuries
when the Plunketts were married.

There's been
no reported problems

between Mr. Plunkett
and his new wife.

CAMPBELL: Sharon, she ruled
against us for joint custody.

SHARON: I don't care what
she ruled. This isn't her son.

- How can this be?
Listen to me.

How can I share custody
with him?

Listen to me.

Don't tell me
to calm down, Michael.

You son of a bitch!

I'm not letting him
have custody!

- I will kill you!
- Stop it, Sharon!

- This is unacceptable.
- Calm down. Listen to me.

Don't tell me
to calm down, Michael!

Let go of me!

Why is this happening?

How can this be?

You son of a bitch!

Thank you for letting me
stop by, Mrs. Gregg.

You want the title
to the Capris?

That's right.

That's the last thing
Albert's gonna need from me?

Yes.

It's somewhere in here.

What happened
to that other lawyer?

I've taken over the case.

Here it is.

Have you seen much
of Albert lately?

No.

How's he doing?

Uh, l... I don't know.

Haven't seen him
for a couple of months.

Since when?

Since he went
to your office for help.

He just packed up
his things and left.

Well, if you could
just sign right there,

then we'll be done.

It was odd.

When he got out of prison,
I couldn't shake him.

24 hours a day,
he wouldn't leave me alone.

Then he just vanished.

So, Nick talked to
Albert Gregg's ex-wife.

She hasn't seen or heard
from him for a couple of months.

Now, I can send someone
to talk to him,

but you always run the risk
of making it worse.

[Sighs]

Do you think it's Albert?

You thought it could be.

Why? Did something else happen?

No. It's been quiet.

WOMAN: Hey, Nick, can you
take a look at this?

So, um...
did you talk to Brian yet?

No.

I mean, he's gonna
come home tomorrow, so...

Do you want to
sleep over again?

No. You and Nick
have your thing.

You're not bothering us.

No. Thank you.

Were you and Nick ever...

What?

You know.

No.

You can tell me.

I know. No.

How are things going
with you two?

He's a good guy.

Are things getting
a little serious?

I don't know.

Are you seeing anyone else?

No.

Is Nick?

And you haven't talked about it?

I don't know.

It feels kind of weird
bringing it up with a kid.

Really? You think so?

You don't?

No.

Hmm.

I mean, it shouldn't be.

How do you think he would react?

I don't know.
With Nick, um...

I really don't know.

Do you think he'd freak?

Hmm.

Yeah?

- Your client Kyle Plunkett...
- Yeah?

I just got word
the police suspect

his mother's trying to
flee the state with him.

How do they know that?

Apparently, she told a neighbor,

and they saw her
load up her car.

They've issued an amber alert.

Oh. OK.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Hey, you wanna go
grab a cup of coffee?

Oh, I can't. Something important
came up with a client.

Oh.

We're still on for
Del Fortino's tomorrow.

- OK.
- OK.

Mrs. Olsen.

They won't let me talk to you.

Did I do something wrong?

Leave me alone.

- I thought everything was OK.
- Please leave me alone!

Why won't you talk to me?

Mr. Gregg accosted Mrs. Olsen
several weeks ago.

Last night, he followed her
to her car.

There have been several
harassing phone calls

to Mrs. Olsen's home and office.

And recently, someone
broke into her house.

In light of the circumstances,

Mrs. Olsen feels an immediate
threat to her safety

and requests a protection
from abuse order.

Thank you.

I have another
hearing to get to.

I appreciate it.

Gavin.

What the hell is this?

They served you with
a criminal trespass action?

- Right. You told me to...
- You can fight this.

I thought they
couldn't kick me out.

But, no, I stood up in front
of the courtroom,

I told everybody
the truth, and you said...

I didn't know
that they would do this.

But you told me
to tell the truth.

And now everybody knows.

You need to go to
the Public Defender's office

and get yourself a lawyer.

Wait a minute!
I have nowhere else to go!

- Hey!
- Nick!

- Ow! What are you doing?
- Nick, Nick, he's not the guy!

- Get the hell off of me!
- He's not the guy!

- Stop it!
- He's not.

What the hell is wrong
with you people?

Mr. Copeland?

How are you?

Well, we got some more
complaints from your neighbors,

so, um, you can go ahead,

build 2 or 3 more
of those things.

Nobody can do a damn thing about
it, but any more than that,

and I'm gonna have
to file another action.

It's what I do.

Yeah. Why... Why do you do this?

When my wife was alive,
I never told people...

how much I love her.

I never told 'em...

how much she means to me.

This is about your wife?

Then when she got sick,
you know, she...

She kept apologizing.

Finally, it got to the point

where she couldn't
leave her bed.

She'd just look out
that window up there.

That's when I started
building these things

so I could bring
the birds to her.

Then when she died...

I didn't wanna stop.

No. Maybe, uh...

maybe you're not
doing this for her.

Maybe you're doing this
for yourself now.

You wouldn't understand.

No. I lost my wife.
I found a way to,

you know, hold on
to the good moments

without disturbing my neighbors.

[Hammering continues]

Your honor,
Sharon Plunkett is in jail

and faces felony charges
for interference with custody.

In light of the circumstances,

my client is moving
for full custody.

Mr. Fallin?

Uh, my client should
be placed in foster care

and more slowly integrated
into his father's life.

Your honor, Mr. Fallin keeps
changing his recommendation.

Do you think it's easy
for a child

to go back
into his father's life?

He hardly knows the man.

Why should Kyle go back
to strangers, huh?

I love him.
He should be with me.

I'm his father, right?

Quiet, please.

Mr. Birge?

I've conferred with Mr. Fallin
and agree with his position.

In addition, I would recommend
some therapy for Kyle.

There's still an opening

at the Allegheny County
Children's Shelter,

and therapy is available.

I'm placing Kyle

at the Allegheny County
Children's Shelter.

Mr. Plunkett, you can have
regular visitations

- with Kyle there.
- Your honor...

We will revisit this in 90 days.

In the meantime, Mr. Plunkett,
get to know your son.

When can I go back with my mom?

Uh, I don't know. I don't have
any control over that.

I just wanna stay with my mom.

I understand that,
uh, but you can't.

For now, you have to go
with Daniel here, OK? Kyle?

[Sighs]

Oh.

[Knock on door]

BURTON: Nicholas.

What are you doing here?

Hey. Nice digs.

Yeah.

Could use a plant or something.

Something.

Yeah. Well, I came by
to thank you.

For what?

I, uh, worked something
out with the city,

with the aviary.

I used that connection of yours,
Henry Thomas' wife.

Oh, yeah.

Fixed the problem, so...

Is that what you came here for?

Well, that and, uh,
the D.B.H. Thing this week.

Yeah.

I know I caused you
a problem not being there,

but I just couldn't
get out of court.

I'm sorry.

Things like that
happen sometimes.

Well, anyway, the city's issuing

$50 million worth
of municipal bonds.

They wanna use our firm.

I want you to handle it.

You like doing that kind
of thing, right?

You're good at it.

Thank you.

OK.

Well, I'll, uh, see you
back at the office.

Yeah. I'll see you there.

Hey, Alvin.

Hey.

Oh, listen,
uh, good news, maybe.

The director at the aviary

is willing to give your client
a job looking after birds.

- Really?
- Yeah.

If you'll keep the number
of birdhouses

in his backyard
down to a minimum.

Oh, thanks.

OK, all right. Good to see ya.

You, too.

Mr. Fallin.

What are you doing here?

I was served some papers.

Yeah. You have to stay
away from Mrs. Olsen.

What happened to Mrs. Olsen?

I think you know.

No, I don't.

Hey! I didn't do anything.

You've been served
with a protective order.

If you don't obey that,
with your record,

I can make things
very difficult for you.

Look, I spent 21 years in prison
for something I didn't do.

I got a new life now.
I got a girl, a job.

Mrs. Olsen is the reason
for all that.

I wouldn't do anything
to hurt her.

Hey. I didn't do anything.

Hi, sweetheart.

Hey.

How are you?

Good. How are you?

Fine.

Got in early, huh?

Yeah. Yeah.

How was your week?

It was OK.

Glad your mom's doing better.

Yeah. It's good to see you.

[Door closes]
