00:00Previously on The Guardian...
00:02I saw my father standing over my mother, and he was holding a knife.
00:07When your son-in-law attacked your daughter, he was taking an experimental drug.
00:10Hence his grandparents have agreed to allow my firm to represent your son's and your wife's estate.
00:16Your drug caused Dr. Reed to become psychotic, and by definition his psychosis made him mentally unable to form intent.
00:23Wanna get a drink?
00:24Did you just ask me out?
00:25No.
00:26I think you did.
00:27You tell me what you want, and I will try and get it for you.
00:29I wanna live here, with my dad.
00:32You're not gonna name a new partner?
00:34Until you devote yourself to this firm, you're just not ready.
00:38We will offer you a better future here at Kirk & McGee.
00:42I'm gonna take that position over at Kirk & McGee.
00:52Have you reached a verdict?
00:54We have, Your Honor.
00:56What say you?
00:58In the case of the Commonwealth versus Dr. Thomas Reed, on the count of murder in the first degree, we find the defendant not guilty by reason of insanity.
01:13Quiet.
01:14Dr. Reed, you must prove to the court that you are not a risk to yourself or to others before you are allowed to go home.
01:24Until then, you will remain under the care of Southwestern Psychiatric Institute.
01:29Congratulations.
01:30Nick, does this change anything?
01:41It changes everything. I won't start at Kirk & McGee until this thing is settled.
01:44Why not?
01:45Why not?
01:46Because I don't want to lose my piece of the Reed settlement after my father kicks your ass?
01:50Dad.
01:51Yeah?
01:52I just advised Sample to keep his civil suit with you.
01:56I won't start at Kirk & McGee until this thing settles.

06:46jeff hornick alvin masterson
06:48hello
06:49this demitrio
06:51so alvin your ex-wife got fired because she wasn't competently performing her job
07:00or because she notified the highway transportation authority that there was a design defect
07:04well the truth is alvin your ex-wife is a liar and a troublemaker
07:10wow
07:11she had no business contacting anybody
07:13i don't think a jury's gonna see it that way burton
07:15as you well know in cases like this punitive damages can run into the millions
07:18well we're not prepared to make any kind of a settlement offer
07:22then i'll be moving for new trial date
07:24do what you have to do
07:26okay good to see you alvin
07:28laurie
07:30i've been reinstated as hunter's guardian
07:33okay
07:33you know he wants to go back home
07:35i know
07:35so what's the recommendation
07:37he's in a stable supportive environment at his grandparents
07:41he's doing well in school we think he should stay where he is
07:43he wants to go back home to his father
07:46dr reed has already proven that he lacks stability
07:48stability he was a victim of a misprescribed medication
07:51and if it should happen again if his paranoia comes back if he attacks his own son
07:56nick
07:57i know you mean well but please use your head he's already established that he can become violent
08:03he stabbed his wife seven times in front of the boy
08:07social services is not going to recommend giving him custody
08:12so what have you been up to
08:20work
08:21i have this temp service that sends me out a couple times a week
08:26it's also taking these courses in homeopathy
08:28and i got a cat
08:30are you happy
08:33i don't know
08:34when you left mandel and more you said that it would only be a couple years before you went back into private practice
08:40i know what i said but i love this job
08:43are you seeing anyone
08:50no
08:51are you
08:54no not really
08:55since eric and i got divorced i've been kind of keeping to myself
09:00look uh we've got an awful lot to do before tomorrow can we just get back to work
09:07you're getting out of here
09:17after five months
09:18months that's good
09:20my son's civil suit
09:21they're gonna settle
09:22it's gonna be a problem isn't it for me they're going to say i'm profiting
09:26off my wife's death
09:27your son is going to be worth millions
09:30and if you gain custody then you will most probably be appointed as trustee of his trust fund
09:37the judge may have a problem with that
09:39how much will you make from this
09:41dr reed right now the only job i have
09:44is looking after your son's interests he wants to be with you
09:47do you think i have a shot
09:48are you ready to take him back
09:51yes
09:53do you trust yourself with his life
09:55mr feral and i know how people see me
09:59but i would never put hunter at risk never
10:03you think your wife was at risk
10:09that wasn't my fault i managed my disease without any problem for twenty years i went through
10:14medical school
10:16opened a successful practice i coached literally twenty years then one day i take a new drug
10:22everything goes to hell
10:25i'm better now
10:28i want hunter back
10:31i want my son back
10:35okay
10:38i'm sorry mr sample
10:39mr sample
10:40the uh lawyers for vendor print pharmaceutical are here
10:44how much you're going to ask for
10:46i will let them make the first offer
10:48but what are you asking
10:49we might get as high as a five million but you're gonna have to let me fight for that
10:55if we go to trial
10:58well we can get more or we can get less it just depends on the jury
11:02should we wait
11:05well if your son-in-law regains custody of the boy the jury is apt to award less than if you maintain custody
11:12but i think you're in a good position to split the difference and uh if they hit the five million mark
11:18we just take the money and don't look back
11:20all right
11:21okay

14:03how's that handsome son of yours
14:04oh he's good thank you
14:06meryl dimetrio
14:07meryl dimetrio was let go because she was not a good secretary
14:10plain and simple
14:11can you be a little bit more specific about that
14:13she was consistently late
14:15she spent too much time on personal calls
14:17worst of all
14:19she lies
14:20she lied
14:21did you say she lied
14:22yes
14:23what'd she lie about
14:24her work
14:25her home life
14:26her past
14:27i've seen her lie about what she ate for lunch
14:29did you ever have a conversation with mr samuel wittenberg the ceo of your your company
14:36where you told him there was a design defect in the breaks that you people make
14:41absolutely not
14:42well is there a defect in the design of the breaks
14:45absolutely not
14:46and one more time why why did you fire miss dimetrio
14:51because she was a poor performer at work
14:54no more questions
14:58if she was such a bad employee why did you give her a satisfactory grade in her last seven performance reviews
15:03those were just satisfactory not good not excellent
15:06satisfactory
15:07i was within my rights to terminate an at will employee for being just satisfactory
15:12oh
15:13you're saying you could fire her for reporting a public safety hazard to the government
15:16there was no public safety hazard and her job description does not include
15:20making reports to anybody
15:22that's your job
15:23yes
15:24and last year you asked miss dimetrio to compile data for the austin texas automobile extravaganza
15:29you're talking about a car show
15:30a year before that you asked her to submit data to road and cars annual buyer's guide
15:35that was very basic
15:36so in the past you have delegated some of your reporting requirements to miss dimetrio
15:39i never had a report to the federal government
15:41you have delegated some of your reporting requirements to miss dimetrio yes or no
15:48yes

18:13this can all come down to your credibility

18:20you and i were both to blame alvin
18:22i never lied to you meryl
18:24when we moved from lewisburg you promised we would live differently

18:28yeah until you threw it all away for social work
18:30i never said i was gonna be rich
18:32you never said we would be poor either
18:34it was always about money wasn't it
18:35oh god i hate it when you oversimplify things like that
18:37no eric had money
18:39eric had time for me
18:40eric didn't spend eighty hours a week trying to save strangers
18:46i fell in love with you
18:47it had nothing to do with anything else
18:50i just think
18:51along the way
18:52you fell in love with your work
18:59six million dollars
19:04hunter's mom was
19:06prime of life
19:09healthy
19:12president of the pta
19:16eight
19:21seven
19:23it's as far as we go
19:24it's as far as we go
19:35i'll recommend it
19:37seven million dollars
19:39your father got us seven million dollars
19:41toughest negotiator in the business
19:44did you accept?
19:45of course
19:47hunter's share is almost five
19:49that money will be placed into a trust account for hunter
19:51now whoever has custody will most probably be appointed as
19:54what do you mean
19:55whoever has custody
19:58well there's still a chance that hunter's father
20:00no no
20:02well the court hearing will determine that
20:05my grandson will stay with me
20:08well i'm sure social services agrees with you but hunter wants to go with his father
20:11hunter is twelve years old mr fallon he doesn't know what he wants
20:15he's a child who plays video games and collects baseball cards
20:19he has the right to have his wishes communicated to the court
20:22and you're gonna tell the court to place my grandson with a man who killed his own mother
20:26and you're gonna call him mother
20:57we're gonna ask you a lot of questions about your father
21:00what he's like to live with
21:03whether he has a hard time controlling his temper
21:07if he's around enough
21:10what was your dad like?
21:13um
21:15i-i-i you know i-i didn't really live with my father after my mom died
21:20where'd you live?
21:21boarding schools mostly boarding schools
21:23boarding schools
21:25hmm
21:29what is it?
21:31i know what people think
21:33about what happened
21:35but my dad everyday when i came home from school
21:39he'd always be there
21:41and
21:43he always used to walk me to school everyday
21:45until i told him to stop when i was in the fourth grade
21:48then he'd just walk behind me and pretend he was going somewhere else
21:52he laughed all the time
21:55told really bad jokes
21:57and
21:59some nights when i couldn't get to sleep
22:01or i just felt like it
22:03we'd go driving
22:06and get an ice cream
22:08or we'd just sit there and listen to the radio
22:12and sing
22:14don't do any of that with my grandparents
22:19right
22:21if you had a dad like my dad
22:24you would get it
22:27you really would
22:29about three weeks before i was fired
22:32about three weeks before i was fired
22:35i overheard mr harnick tell our ceo mr wittenberg
22:38that he thought our brakes were responsible for ten fatalities

23:14i went into mr harnick's office and asked him what was going on
23:17and he told me to mind my own business

26:21whether she was unfaithful has nothing to do with her credibility
26:23she lies whenever it suits her needs
26:26is more prejudicial and probative
26:27i agree
26:28and i move for a mistrial
26:30deny
26:31step back
26:32that was way out of line
26:35you are to disregard that last statement
26:37dr reed
26:40dr reed killed his wife
26:42in front of his son
26:44nothing we've heard can guarantee that he won't kill again
26:48we all feel sorry for this family
26:51but we're not here to offer them our sympathy
26:54we're here to decide which home is best for hunter
26:57i believe his grandparents offer the superior choice
27:00how can we place this child in the custody of a man with a serious chronic mental illness
27:07when such a good alternative exists
27:13i'm a schizophrenic
27:15i killed my wife
27:17as a result of taking an experimental anti-psychotic drug
27:21my wife was the only woman i ever loved
27:27we were married for 16 years
27:31we had a very happy life together
27:34as amazed as i was by my capacity for loving her
27:39when hunter was born
27:41i found that i was opened up to the world in an entirely different way
27:47from the first moment i held him i
27:51i had a profound sense of purpose in my life
27:55when i learned
27:57what i had done to my wife
28:01i didn't care what happened to me
28:04i i wanted to be punished to be hurt
28:07i had taken the person in the world i loved more than myself
28:11the mother of my son
28:12i hoped i would be locked away forever
28:16but my son needs me
28:27i need him
28:29we both have to live with what happened
28:32but my son and i should be able to live with it together
28:36we'll recess and resume tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock

35:00absolutely not
35:02our brakes are the best quality in the industry
35:05can you think of any reason why miss, uh, dimitrio would want to hurt your company?
35:13she's looking for a windfall
35:15can you think of another reason?
35:17she wants some notoriety
35:20doesn't she want to hurt you personally?

36:23she wanted me to leave my wife for her
36:25leave your wife
36:27so when she made up all these lies about, uh, the breaks
36:31she was just doing that to, uh, get back at you, is that correct?

38:02what did you say?
38:04you said i married a lawyer
38:06not a social worker
38:07because it was true
38:09because you said that you would stay in private practice
38:11i was miserable, meryl, you knew that
38:13well you know what? i wasn't so happy going back to waitressing

38:55the jury has already found
38:57dr. reed not guilty for the murder of his wife
39:02a team of doctors and psychiatrists have determined that
39:06dr. reed is fit to live among us
39:08the only question left
39:10is whether he gets his son back
39:12now there's no one here that
39:18can blame mr. and mrs. sample for
39:21for being angry at dr. reed
39:23they have suffered a terrible loss
39:27and everyone here can understand
39:30social services making the conservative recommendation
39:33that is what they do
39:36but i respectfully submit that the opinion here
39:39that matters the most
39:41is hunter reads
39:47and hunter wants to go back home with his father
39:52have you seen you've seen father and son
39:55there's a rapport
39:57there's a bond there's a connection
39:58there's father and son
39:59if you keep these two apart
40:09if there is anything worse than growing up without a mother
40:13it's growing up without a mother and without a father
40:17now hunter reed wants to go back home with his father
40:21just let him
40:25have you reached the verdict?
