00:01Previously on The Guardian.
00:02You live in my home by my rules, and if you don't stay right by me, then you go directly to jail.
00:06You cheat, you steal, you lie, you even think about any of those things.
00:10First, you answer to me.
00:16I have a boyfriend.
00:18Brian doesn't look at me the way you look at me.
00:20You marry a doctor, you stop working, you have a bunch of kids, you move to the suburbs.
00:24Yeah, we're just trying to have a good time here.
00:26It's our night out.
00:28Sorry.
00:30Brian asked me.
00:31What?
00:32To marry him.
00:34That's great.
00:35That's great.
00:40Listen, thanks, man.
00:42I've been sitting in here all night, and I don't know anybody else in the city other than Louisa.
00:47And you're a lawyer.
00:48What happened?
00:49Well...
00:52Alright, I was driving in from Columbus last night, right, for an engagement party.
00:55I was gonna surprise Louisa a day early.
00:58And when I got in town and called her, she was out.
01:01So I went to grab a drink and had a few.
01:03And when I was sitting at the bar, bumped into this girl, and we started talking.
01:07You didn't know she was a hooker?
01:08I'll find out when you're supposed to go in front of the judge.
01:21And I'll see what I can do.
01:23We just have to ask a few preliminary questions regarding your application to the federal bench.
01:29Name and date of birth.
01:32Burton Fallon, September the 13th, 1933.
01:36Are you married?
01:37I was, uh, August 16th, 1965.
01:40Have you been divorced?
01:41I am divorced, in 1980.
01:46Children?
01:47I have one son, Nicholas, 32.
01:50He works as an associate in my law firm.
01:53Morning, Gretchen.
01:54Morning, Gretchen.
02:02Dale?
02:03I talked to Alvin Masterson.
02:07Yeah?
02:08Says you missed two meetings last week.
02:09Yeah, I had a very big case here and then a lot of work at the clinic.
02:12Two meetings in one week?
02:13Won't happen again.
02:14New York City, March 22nd.
02:17Yeah.
02:19Nick, you left the state.
02:21It was a business meeting.
02:22I flew in for two hours.
02:24That's three technical violations, Nick.
02:26Three.
02:30When you first came into my office, I thought you were the least of my problems.
02:33But I get these reports and I start to think there must be other violations.
02:36So I check around and you know what?
02:37I find a lot more.
02:39A fight at the incline at two o'clock in the morning.
02:42The incline, as I recall, is a drinking establishment.
02:46So it's my guess that you were drinking.
02:49Dealings with several legal services clients who are known drug users and felons.
02:55And no reports to me about these relationships.
03:01Let's go to your office.
03:06You know, you got your periodic review coming up on Friday.
03:09Yes, I know.
03:10My girlfriend.
03:16I was her probation officer too.
03:17That's how we met.
03:18I helped her through a tough time in her life and we kind of fell in love.
03:23Anyway, she's in this line of business.
03:25She works as an entertainer and she and I were thinking about becoming proprietors.
03:29Great.
03:30Here's the thing.
03:31There's a liquor license involved here and Mandy's got a drug conviction.
03:35So I got to buy the license, which is almost as expensive as the building.
03:39And there are a lot of forms and legal stuff we don't understand.
03:42A contract.
03:43You need help?
03:45If you're offering, yeah.
03:47Don't do that.
03:48Excuse me?
03:49If you have a problem with me or the way I'm handling my probation, then tell the judge.
03:55And we'll sort it out in court.
04:00That's the way you want to play it.
04:04You may not like what I have to say to Judge Hanley on Friday.
04:07Is there any information that may reflect adversely on you in connection with your nomination for the federal judiciary?
04:22Not that I know of.
04:24Any business partner or family member who has had problems with the law?
04:28If you're talking about my son...
04:30He has a criminal record.
04:31He was convicted of misdemeanor drug possession charge and sentenced to probation and community service.
04:38But as I say, he's got that under control now.
04:55I am sentencing you to 1,500 hours of community service.
05:00Using your skills as a corporate attorney to work as a child advocate.
05:31Masterson.
05:36You spoke to my probation officer.
05:40Excuse me?
05:42You told me about the meetings I missed.
05:44I've got to report into the probation department.
05:47Nick, it's part of the requirement.
05:49Hey, Nick.
05:59Come here. You want to hear something funny?
06:01Why not?
06:02So, I was just sitting with this wedding planner and, uh...
06:09Wedding planner.
06:11She starts asking me whether or not I want swans to swim in the pool at Bryan's Country Club.
06:16Swans.
06:17Yeah.
06:18Swans.
06:19And then she goes on to say that they do occasionally make a little bit of poo-poo in the pool.
06:25And I started laughing.
06:27And she gave me a look and made me laugh even harder.
06:31And, uh, she quit.
06:32And she's a friend of Bryan's family and he's going to be kind of mad when he gets into town tomorrow.
06:38Well, I'm sure he'll forgive you.
06:39Yeah. Oh, anyway, my friend, uh, Kate is throwing us an engagement party this Friday night and I'd really like for you to come.
06:44This is a termination of parental rights petition.
07:00Yeah.
07:02When did you receive it?
07:04Last week.
07:06Says you've just been released from prison.
07:08Mm-hmm. Four months ago.
07:10I was in for third-degree murder.
07:14Uh, Mr. Hinkins, uh, did you, uh, continue to keep up contact with, uh, with your daughter?
07:23Yeah, I called twice a week, wrote four times a month, sent gifts.
07:26And since you've been released from prison?
07:28I got a job, an apartment in her school district, I met all my parole requirements.
07:33Okay.
07:35My ex-wife and her new husband won't let me see Tess, my daughter.
07:38Last time I go over there, my ex-wife comes out and tells me her new husband's adopting Tess, they're moving to Minnesota, and I should get the hell out of there, she's calling the cops.
07:48And I got that form in the mail.
07:49Uh, the hearing's tomorrow morning, I'll meet you outside the courtroom.
07:52Uh, the hearing's tomorrow morning, I'll meet you outside the courtroom.
07:53Uh, the hearing's tomorrow morning, I'll meet you outside the courtroom.
08:03Legal services, it's in first.
08:07Thanks for bringing them by, man.
08:08No problem.
08:09Smoking pot in my house, with a 19-year-old girl.
08:19Come in my office.
08:22You're under home detention.
08:25Do you know what that means?
08:27If that truant officer hadn't known me, he'd have called the police instead.
08:31You'd end up in youth detention instantly.
08:34I'm not messing around here, Levi.
08:35You've been living with me for less than a month, and I've already let things slide.
08:39You're not gonna call the cops, are you?
08:42I've got a full day ahead of me.
08:44You're gonna sit here until I'm done.
08:47What, in your office?
08:48Until I'm done, you're not moving.
08:49I don't want you going to the bathroom without asking me.
08:52Uncle James, man, you...
08:54Don't move.
08:58Well, Richard Stanton was a...
09:01Fair, solid guy who...
09:06Could laugh at a joke.
09:08Wasn't afraid to have a drink in the afternoon.
09:11He loved the pirates.
09:14And he, uh...
09:16He loved his family.
09:18So it's, uh...
09:20My honor to be the first person to call this space...
09:24The, uh...
09:25Judge Richard Stanton courtroom.
09:37Well, I appreciate your being here, Nicholas.
09:39Well, you did a good job.
09:41Yeah?
09:43A little nervous.
09:45Didn't show.
09:47Yeah, Dad, um...
09:48My probation officer is probably gonna write me up on a couple of technical violations.
09:55I have a hearing in front of Judge Handley this Friday.
09:59Come on.
10:02Listen, this federal bench thing...
10:04Yeah.
10:06You still wanna do it?
10:07Yeah.
10:08Burton. Burton Fowler. Great job.
10:10Hey, how are you, Ralph?
10:11Oh, great. How are you?
10:12Thanks for coming.
10:14Sorry, I'm late.
10:18Hey!
10:19Nick Fallon, Mandy Gressler.
10:21Nick's volunteered to help out with the deal.
10:25You're a lawyer?
10:26Yes.
10:28I hope you know what you're doing.
10:31We can buy the building for $100,000.
10:33The liquor license is gonna be another $75,000.
10:35Who's financing this?
10:36I got my loan through Belfield Union.
10:38And I got the other half covered.
10:40It's a nice place, Mr...
10:44Fallon.
10:48Did they tell you who we're doing business with?
10:50No.
10:53Lenny Getkin.
10:55He's not the type of guy who hires expensive lawyers to do his deals, if you know what I mean.
11:00No, I don't.
11:02Well, if I were you, I'd walk in with one of these.
11:07Instead of that pen.
11:08Come on.
11:11She's kidding.
11:12Here's the contract.
11:27Well, this requires you to put $4,000 down in good faith and carries a 10-day escrow.
11:32Okay.
11:33Not really.
11:3410 days is not long enough to perform the due diligence, particularly with the liquor license.
11:41Mandy's already taken care of all that.
11:43Really?
11:44I've arranged all the physical inspections, checked out the permits, the parking, and the kitchen.
11:50It's all set.
11:52All except the liquor license.
11:54I do more than just take off my clothes, Mr. Fallon.
12:01You're buying a strip club?
12:03A gentleman's club.
12:04Sorry.
12:05I'm sorry.
12:22So where's this babysitter?
12:23Don't worry.
12:24He'll be here.
12:25Hold up the corner booth for you, will you?
12:26Not him.
12:27Oh, yeah.
12:28Sure.
12:29Him.
12:30Jimmy!
12:31My man.
12:32My man.
12:33You looking good, man.
12:34Real good.
12:35How about I'm hitting the gym a little.
12:36I've mentioned 225.
12:37You look good, too, Jimmy.
12:40Thanks, man.
12:42Hey, esta boy?
12:57Yes.
12:58Tove, Levi, Levi, Tove.
13:01What up, Tove?
13:03You'll call me Mr. Nance.
13:08Sorry, I'm late, James. I stopped by his school.
13:12What you was doing to my school, man?
13:14Was I speaking to you?
13:16No.
13:17And don't be jawbone-y.
13:20I got this Simons he missed today, and they're gonna send us both emails whenever he has homework.
13:25Thanks, man.
13:26This sucks.
13:28Where you going, jawbone?
13:30I'm about to go hang out with some friends.
13:31No, no, no. Only friend you got to worry about is right here, Levi.
13:36You got that?
13:37Yeah.
13:39You got busted for pop.
13:41You run with drug people, it's only a matter of time before you're all in jail or dead.
13:45So what you want me to do, man?
13:47Just say no.
13:49It's 40, boy.
13:52How old are you, jawbone?
13:5417.
13:55Hmm.
13:56So when I was 17, I got pretty filling with this white guy, Steve.
14:00Who always had good drugs.
14:04Labor Day weekend, he has a party that just won't quit.
14:06Girls coming and going.
14:08Cags, we barbecuing, playing records.
14:12And at that party, it's how the guy dances and starts pushing Steve around.
14:15And I pull a dancer off, you know, because I think Steve is my friend.
14:18And we get into it, and Dan's reaching into his pocket and points a gun at me.
14:26I reach out to push it away, and it goes off.
14:31I look down, and damn it, there isn't a hole in me.
14:35Steve and all those guys I thought were down with me, they run.
14:38I'm dying, and they run, because they think the cops are coming.
14:45So what happened?
14:47Well, it went through my gut.
14:50Into my spine.
14:51I'm not going to walk again.
14:57I take a dump in the Colossomy bag.
15:02I can't even feel my own chance.
15:07Because I was a badass.
15:09Went to stick it for my boys.
15:11Now, you got assignments in American history and algebra, too, Jeroboam.
15:17After we eat, go back to my house, and you do them.
15:23You got a problem?
15:26Nah.
15:27Nah, I don't got a problem, Mr. Nass.
15:30Good.
15:34All right.
15:36Levi, what do you want to eat?
15:38Nothing.
15:39I'm not hungry.
15:40No, no, you got to eat something, so you can consider your homework.
15:45Get them chicken fingers.
15:47They got a lot of protein in them.
15:57Are they going to publish my name in a newspaper,
15:59or put my picture on their website or something?
16:03I mean, what happens next?
16:04Trial is set for July 10th.
16:06Oh, can't we get that resolved sooner?
16:08You can try to plead out.
16:09Well, can you help me with that?
16:14You're going to need to hire a criminal attorney.
16:16No, you know what?
16:17I would think so.
16:18I mean, I don't want to get anybody else involved in this.
16:22I mean, if Lulu finds out about this, Nick,
16:25it would kill her.
16:27Okay, let me tell you for doing this.
16:34Thanks.
16:39You did well, Burton.
16:41The committee was impressed.
16:42Oh, good, good.
16:44Tell you the truth, I was a little surprised they wanted to beat with me.
16:49They were impressed.
16:50Good.
16:51So what's next?
16:55This is a political appointment, so you have to be ready to get political.
16:59Yeah, I understand.
16:59You should consider the members of your firm that might hurt your chances
17:03and look at any organizations you belong to or habits you have that may make you vulnerable
17:07to scrutiny.
17:08You have something in mind, Tom?
17:10Bob Dole quit smoking when he ran for president.
17:14Well, I'm not running for president.
17:17But you may run into tobacco issues.
17:19Oh, that's a lot of crap.
17:21What else?
17:22Riverbrook Country Club.
17:23Been a member there 30 years.
17:26No Jews, no African Americans, and a gender bias against women.
17:30Oh, Tom, can't be serious.
17:33One of your associates, Sylvia Doucette?
17:36Yeah.
17:37What do you think of her?
17:38She's good.
17:39Real estate attorney.
17:40Does a good job for us.
17:42Is she partner material?
17:43Possible, but we're not planning to add any new partners until next year.
17:48Sylvia Doucette is very active in the Allegheny County Bar Association.
17:52She has good contacts in the mayor's office.
17:55I understand, Tom, but you're not pushing her on me because she's a black woman, are you?
18:01She graduated third in her law class at Cornell.
18:04She's reputed to be a top drawer negotiator.
18:06And as it happens, if she were a partner, the Judiciary Appointment Committee will never
18:10have to ask why all your partners are straight white men.
18:14Because they won't be.
18:17Right, right.
18:20I know what you're thinking, Mr. Fallon, but everything's going to change.
18:27Carpet, stage, sound system.
18:30I'm about to buy a bunch of Negro prints and hang them all over the club.
18:33Isn't she something?
18:34This place is going to be great when she gets done with it.
18:36Lenny, this is our lawyer.
18:39Nick Fallon.
18:41Fancy outfit.
18:43You too.
18:44So where are we at?
18:47My clients have agreed to the 175.
18:51What?
18:51Sorry, I couldn't hear you.
18:52My clients have agreed to the 175.
18:55Okay.
18:55So before we make this official, I need to see your books.
18:58I'm not going to do that.
18:59Well, how do we know what your numbers are?
19:00You do the math.
19:05Mr. Getkin.
19:06Lenny.
19:07Lenny, you won't show us your books and you can't prove to us what your revenue stream
19:11is, so we can't give you what you're asking for.
19:17Tell you what.
19:19I'll open my books if your clients sign the contract.
19:22What?
19:22I'll open my books if your clients sign the contract.
19:29No, can't do that.
19:30If they sign the contract, then you get the hand money.
19:32That's the way it works.
19:36No, it's not.
19:40Can't we work something out?
19:43I wouldn't sign.
19:44What am I on the hook for if I sign?
19:46The complete deposit, $4,000.
19:47I'll talk to you about this.
19:58What the hell, huh?
20:01Huh?
20:04Let's do this thing.
20:04It's called a culotte steak.
20:12The only place in town they serve this particular cut.
20:17What do you think?
20:19It's fine.
20:23Mr. Fallon, what's up?
20:26I just wanted a chance to tell you how much I admire your professionalism.
20:31Tell you that your contribution to the firm is a...
20:34Outstanding.
20:38I'm thinking about the next generation of management.
20:42So I was looking around and I thought...
20:45Sylvia Doucette.
20:50What's on your mind, Burton?
20:52We had a meeting of the Partnership Committee last night.
20:55We'd like to make you a non-equity partner.
20:59Non-equity?
21:01Yeah.
21:01The same as equity, except you don't get to share in the profits of the firm and you don't get to vote on major decisions.
21:08But other than that...
21:10Other than that.
21:12No, it's a...
21:13It's a stepping stone.
21:16It gives us a chance to see how you perform on the next level.
21:21Everything goes well.
21:21Well, you could be an equity partner next year.
21:26A lot of firms do this.
21:28Your firm doesn't.
21:33Sylvia, this is a...
21:35This is an excellent opportunity.
21:37For you.
21:38I've heard about the federal bench.
21:42And I've looked around at a lot of the associates.
21:44And the only other woman quit.
21:46And you and I both know the only other person of color, Pete Marston, is a goof.
21:52You want to make me a partner, make me a partner.
21:57Yummy.
21:57Yummy.
22:01Mrs. Stowe, why do you want to terminate your ex-husband's parental rights?
22:04Lawrence is Tess's dad now, not Bobby.
22:08Lawrence has been there for her, supported her financially, and been a great dad to her.
22:14And Tess loves Lawrence like a father.
22:18How does Tess feel about Mr. Hinkins?
22:20She's afraid of him.
22:22She knows what he did and how he was before he went to prison.
22:26She's afraid to be around him.
22:28Are there any other reasons for doing this?
22:30Lawrence got a job at 3M in Minnesota.
22:34We want to move there as a family.
22:36Unless Bobby's rights are legally terminated, of course.
22:39Lawrence can't adopt her.
22:41And how will terminating Bobby's rights affect Tess's life?
22:45It won't.
22:46He's never had a hand in raising her.
22:48He never sees her.
22:49She never speaks to him.
22:51No further questions.
22:56Mrs. Stowe, you said, uh...
22:59Bobby plays no role in Tess's life.
23:02Yes.
23:02Isn't that because you won't let him?
23:06He's not a good influence.
23:08Last week, he called to talk to Tess 11 times.
23:10Did you let him?
23:11No.
23:12He stopped by in person four times in the last month.
23:15Twice with gifts, right?
23:17Yes.
23:18Did you let him see her?
23:19No.
23:20Did you let her know that he stopped by to see her?
23:22No.
23:23Did you at least give her the gifts that he left for her?
23:25He killed two men in a bar.
23:28He's a violent man who should not be around.
23:30Did you give Tess the gifts that he left for her?
23:32No.
23:36Mr. Hinkins, since you were released, what have you done to be able to support Tess and spend time with her?
23:41I got a job, which, after 90 days, has a health insurance plan that kicks in.
23:45And I got an apartment, two-bedroom, one-bath.
23:49It's in the same school district she'd go to if she was in public school.
23:52Were you close to your daughter before you went to prison?
23:55I'm not going to lie.
23:56I was a drunk, and I had some problems.
24:01When I was with her, I did hold her.
24:04And I made money to take care of her.
24:07And I made sure she was safe.
24:10No further questions.
24:13Mr. Hinkins, from June 4th, 1994 until March 11th of this year, you were unable to see Tess.
24:18Is that correct?
24:19That's correct.
24:20Is it true that Philip Nespor, age 21, and Hank Thumann, age 30, were killed by you in a bar fight?
24:25Objection.
24:27Relevance.
24:28It goes to parenting ability.
24:30Overruled.
24:31You may answer.
24:33It's true.
24:34Is this a photograph of the crime scene?
24:37Objection.
24:37More prejudicial than probative.
24:39We're establishing grounds to terminate his parental rights.
24:42Overruled.
24:48That's it.
24:50That's it.
25:11If this is the file, I'll take a look at it.
25:13Okay?
25:14Toph, give me a second.
25:16Yes, sir.
25:16No problem.
25:20What happened?
25:22Yesterday.
25:23Comes over, does the assignment, no problem.
25:25Today, he just has a story to read for English, okay?
25:28So he says he read it, and he splits, no problem.
25:32I got a chronic pain from the bullet that I treat with painkillers, okay?
25:35And a half hour after he leaves, I get a flare, and I go to my bathroom when he's cleaning me out.
25:40He stole your prescription drugs?
25:42Sure did.
25:43I ain't get about 500 bucks for them on the street.
25:45Hi, Tess.
25:51Hi.
25:53That's a nice purse.
25:56Where'd you get it?
25:57My mom's husband, Lawrence.
25:59Tess, how often does your father call you?
26:01He doesn't call.
26:03Does he write you letters?
26:05He used to, but not anymore.
26:07No, that's not true.
26:08I write you every week, Tess.
26:10Mr. Hankins, uh, please sit down.
26:12But it's not true.
26:14Sit.
26:18What do you think of your father?
26:21I'm afraid of him, because of his temper, and because of what he did.
26:26No further questions.
26:32Tess, have you ever spent any time with your father?
26:35Not really.
26:38Then how do you know to be afraid of him?
26:41My mom.
26:47I have no more questions.
26:53So you know I got the number.
26:55Of course.
26:55Of course.
26:56Of course.
26:57Yeah.
27:02Yeah, baby.
27:05Levi.
27:09So what, you a thief now, stealing pills from Troll?
27:12Told you that, man.
27:13Who do you think told me?
27:14I didn't steal anything, okay?
27:15What, you think I'm stupid?
27:17The man has two bottle of prescription painkillers, but when you show up and none, when he laughs.
27:20What are you talking about, two bottles of pills?
27:22I took like three pills.
27:23Look, all right, Levi, stop lying.
27:25You can't tell me what to do, man.
27:26The hell I can't.
27:27I think he runs things.
27:28Sit your asses down.
27:30Look.
27:30I'm not scared of you, man.
27:33Of what you calling me out?
27:35You really said nothing about it.
27:36Nah, I got this.
27:37I got this.
27:38You couldn't take me, old time.
27:40You want to find out?
27:42You need to shut your face when something happened to you.
27:44Hey.
27:45Get in the car.
27:46You crazy.
27:47Get in the car.
27:48I ain't getting it, no.
27:49Get in the car.
27:50Don't touch me like that.
27:51Don't push me, man.
27:52Get in the car.
27:54Get in the car.
27:55All rise.
28:08Be seated.
28:13Mr. Hinkins, given your criminal background, your long incarceration, and the close-knit family that your daughter accepts as her own,
28:22I find that the grounds of abandonment and parental incapacity are established,
28:27and that Tess's needs and welfare are served by terminating your parental rights.
28:34I served my time.
28:36Nine years.
28:37I did it for her.
28:39Worked in the metal shop.
28:41Got my high school diploma.
28:43I knew it would be waiting for me when I got out.
28:45I knew the whole world would be against me.
28:49But I have my daughter, Mr. Fallon.
28:52You don't understand a thing I'm saying.
28:59You don't get it.
29:02I'm sorry.
29:07Are you?
29:16Scary thing is, Mr. Fallon,
29:17you're the only person that's given me the time of day since I've gotten out.
29:23The only person.
29:28Now, what's the point, really?
29:30Huh?
29:31What's the point of any of this?
29:38Came to this place every day after school.
29:41This place.
29:42Don.
29:43Gene, give me a minute.
29:45What the hell, man?
29:48Take your shoes off.
29:49Why?
29:50Your jewelry.
29:51Off.
29:57Some headgear on.
29:59Matter of fact, I don't even need headgear.
30:01Put these on.
30:06Lace them up.
30:09I spoke to the prosecutor.
30:11He's agreed to a $600 fine in three weeks of John's school.
30:14And that's it?
30:16Yes.
30:16I owe you one, man.
30:21I really do.
30:23Slap on the wrist, huh?
30:25You know what's ridiculous about this whole thing,
30:27and I'm sure that everyone says this,
30:29but it truly was my first time to do something like that.
30:33I mean, I have no idea what got in my head.
30:35I mean, I think it was probably just the pressure, you know,
30:37of being in med school and being engaged and, you know,
30:41just kind of snapped.
30:43Don't try to be my friend.
30:44I did this for Lulu.
30:47Okay?
30:49You need something to eat?
30:50No, I'm gonna go.
30:52Brian.
30:53Hey, sweetheart.
30:55When did she get into town?
30:56Just this morning.
30:57Really?
30:59Well, what's going on?
31:00What are you two doing?
31:00Well, I was gonna surprise you.
31:02Hello.
31:02Hello, Mary.
31:03But, uh, anyway, here you are.
31:05So Nick and I were just talking about the party,
31:07and, uh, he was giving me recommendations for, uh,
31:10hotels for out-of-town guests.
31:11Why don't you guys join us?
31:12Come on.
31:12Oh.
31:13You did a good job for Bobby Hinkins today.
31:17Look, we gotta talk.
31:17Excuse me.
31:18No, no, no.
31:19Excuse us, please.
31:21Please excuse us.
31:23What is it?
31:24What is it?
31:24Mandy didn't get the loan.
31:25She said the guy at the bank found some old debt,
31:27a credit card or something.
31:28They won't give her the money.
31:29Well, she can go to another bank.
31:30She did, you know, she did all that.
31:31They're not giving her a cent.
31:32Nobody.
31:33Am I gonna lose my money?
31:35You signed a contract.
31:36Yeah, yeah, look.
31:36You have to talk to Lenny again.
31:37You get me an extension.
31:38No, I, you, I did what you asked me.
31:41You know what?
31:42While I'm asking again.
31:43Alvin, you've met my probation officer.
31:46Lysdale Petrarchi, Alvin Masters.
31:48The police came by the office to see you.
31:49Bobby Hinkins kidnapped his daughter this afternoon.
31:52They want you to carry this pager number in case he tries to contact you.
31:55Come on, man.
32:04Old timer.
32:05Right, right.
32:06Hmm?
32:06Yeah?
32:07What you know about that footwork right there, huh?
32:08Huh?
32:09Come on, tough guy.
32:10Show me what you got, hard ass.
32:11Old timer, old man.
32:13What you know about the fast hands?
32:14What you know about the fast feet?
32:15All that cute stuff.
32:16All right, tough guy.
32:19That's all you got?
32:20Don't hold back.
32:21Oh, come on.
32:24I didn't even hit you that hard.
32:35I didn't mean to hit you that hard, ass.
32:37Go ahead and turn me in, man.
32:39I don't need to live with you.
32:41Yeah.
32:43Yeah, you do.
32:43Yeah, what is it?
33:05Contracts my client signed.
33:09Yeah?
33:10If I wanted to challenge that in court, there's no legal consideration there.
33:13What are you saying?
33:14What I'm saying is my client wants his money back.
33:17You made the deal.
33:18You knew the terms.
33:21I still have a few days left.
33:23You have to fix this thing.
33:24Which bank was Mandy dealing with?
33:26PA Savings and Loan.
33:27Can you go down there, smooth things out?
33:28I can't make them give her a loan.
33:30No, but you can try, Nick.
33:31Can't you?
33:32You can try.
33:32You can try.
33:32I'm so wild about you.
33:47Hey.
33:47I'm sorry.
33:48I'm sorry.
33:49What are you doing here so late?
33:50I have some paperwork to finish on.
33:53Brian's been telling me how you've been going out of your way to help with the party.
33:58Oh.
33:58Yeah.
34:00You know, I thought you'd change your mind about him.
34:05A little high.
34:06Good.
34:07Good.
34:08I waited outside her school.
34:28When she came out, I told her to get in my car, that her mom had asked me to give her a ride home.
34:33She was scared at first, but she calmed down.
34:44I'm in trouble, right?
34:46Given the circumstances, you'll probably serve out the rest of your sentence.
34:53Ten more years.
34:57Yeah, I figured.
34:57Well, our kids changed fast.
35:06A lot of things that we couldn't talk about on a monitored phone call, we got to talk about.
35:13You need to call your parole officer.
35:16No, I already did.
35:18I told him to come down here.
35:19We had a good time.
35:30We went to Waffle-O-Teria.
35:34It's all you can eat Thursday.
35:38Then we drove around.
35:41I wanted to show her where I grew up.
35:42It's now an apartment building, but it used to be my home.
36:06Maybe that lady can give Tess a ride back home.
36:09Huh?
36:09Yeah.
36:10So she doesn't have to see this?
36:13Sure.
36:33Tess, this lady's going to give you a ride home now.
36:36Okay.
36:37Okay.
36:40Tess.
36:45It was...
36:49I hope it didn't scare you.
36:51You didn't.
36:54Good.
36:57That's really good.
36:59Bye.
37:02Bye, Tess.
37:03Bye.
37:03Bye.
37:03Bye.
37:10I was just over at PA Savings and Loan.
37:34Talk to a guy.
37:35You're going to help?
37:36Mandy never applied for a loan.
37:42What are you talking about?
37:44Dale.
37:46She ripped you off.
37:48With Lenny.
37:49What?
37:50She never tried to get a loan.
37:57I want you to come with me and get my money back.
38:00Lenny is not the kind of guy who's going to give it to you if you ask him.
38:04You come with me and I'll give you a totally clean slate at the review.
38:08And I'll never mention another infraction.
38:16James, do you have a stone fought?
38:17What happened?
38:22We was just working some stuff out.
38:26We took it into the ring.
38:30You did this?
38:33You got a minute, James?
38:38Yeah.
38:38You've taken custody of an at-risk child with a bad background, and you're encouraging him
38:51to resolve his problems with violence?
38:53It's not violence.
38:55It's boxing.
38:57James, I think you need to check into a parenting class.
39:03I do things the way I do things.
39:06Levi is not a client, and we weren't in the office.
39:08What's his problem?
39:16Nothing.
39:38Why did you lie to me?
39:42I didn't.
39:42Why did you lie to me?
39:43I didn't.
39:43You're still on the drugs, aren't you?
39:45No, baby.
39:46You sleeping with him, too?
39:47You're sleeping with that guy?
39:47What are you talking about?
39:49Baby.
39:50Tell me you're not still with this guy.
39:52Please.
39:53Dale, I'm sorry.
39:54I just, I owe him money, and I didn't want to tell you.
39:57I love you.
39:58Come on!
39:58Give me my money back.
40:01All right, get it from your girlfriend.
40:01Give me that money.
40:02She put it up her nose.
40:03You know what?
40:04I'll fix you good.
40:05You know what?
40:06I got less of them now.
40:07She's bringing this whole place down, and you win it.
40:09Dale.
40:10No, you can't.
40:10You can turn the whole thing into it, and you win it.
40:11You couldn't even make it as a cop.
40:13What are you going to do?
40:38Put the gun down.
40:43What are you going to do?
41:02I'm going to pull the fire alarm, and I'm going to walk straight out of here.
41:13I'm not quitting, Tom.
41:34Fair enough.
41:35And I'm not going to resign my membership to the club, and I'm not going to treat my son
41:41any differently or run my firm any differently, so if that costs me the opportunity, so be it.
41:50You've made the short list.
41:53I did?
41:55You?
41:56John Goldfarb and Linda Salganikoff.
41:59The DA's going for this?
42:02Goldfarb's been angling for this position for a while.
42:04Well, congratulations, Burton.
42:07So, where do we, uh, where do we go from here?
42:11Another round of interviews, a little more scrutiny, and then, with luck, a nomination.
42:16A little more scrutiny.
42:18If you're going to sit on the bench, you'll need to be vetted.
42:21Yeah.
42:22You ready for this?
42:23I guess so.
42:29You're ready.
42:32Well, thanks, Tom.
42:34Thanks for everything.
42:35I appreciate it.
42:37See you soon.
42:38Yeah.
42:47Yeah.
42:47Hey.
42:52Well, I've just...
42:55You better close that door some.
42:56Well, I've just been informed that I made the short list for the federal bench.
43:09I'm going to announce it to the firm later today.
43:11Now, Nicholas, it might get, uh, a little bit ugly around here.
43:17If I leave, it's going to be quite a battle over who's running this place.
43:21So, I might need your help or, uh, damage control, okay?
43:26Yeah.
43:27Now, the other thing is, if, uh, when I get this appointment, I've got to distance myself
43:33from your legal problems, so I won't be able to be here for you like I have been.
43:39It's not going to be a problem.
43:41You're off the hook.
43:44It's not going to be a problem.
43:47Good.
43:51Okay, now, every time you laugh, it'll be another year of a long, happy marriage.
43:56Okay, I can't believe I'm letting you do this to me.
44:02Oh, come on.
44:03I'd love to laugh.
44:04Sorry, I'd like to make a toast.
44:09To Louisa.
44:10You made me the proudest man in this room, in the city.
44:15And, uh, speaking of the city, uh, all of you know that Lulu's been lobbying pretty hard
44:20for us to stay here in Pittsburgh, so we've been looking around town,
44:24and we found a house we liked.
44:26And our offer was accepted.
44:31You've got something on your collar.
44:33It looks like blood.
44:36It's already set.
44:38There's nothing you can do about it now.
44:40There's nothing you can do.
44:41There's nothing you can do about it now.
44:45There's nothing you can do about it now.
44:46There's nothing you can do about it now.
44:49We'll go over it now.
