00:01Previously on The Guardian.
00:02He is leaving you vulnerable, Senator.
00:04Mr. Lichtman.
00:05I'm the one who's letting you go.
00:06You're allowing this?
00:07You committed a felony, Mitchell.
00:09What happened yesterday?
00:10That was a mistake.
00:11I was nervous about getting married, and I am curious about you.
00:15You believe you are a suitable Guardian?
00:16I'm his uncle, and I can handle him.
00:18I'll grant you custody of your nephew, Levi.
00:20You couldn't take me, old Tom.
00:21You want to find out?
00:24Encouraging him to resolve his problems with violence?
00:27I saw my father standing over my mother.
00:29He was holding a knife.
00:30You tell me what you want, and I will try and get it for you.
00:32I'm going to turn Hunter Reed over to the custody of his father.
00:38You're buying a strip club?
00:39A gentleman's club.
00:40I do more than just take off my clothes, Mr. Fallon.
00:44What are you doing in a strip club with your probation officer?
00:47He was trying to buy the club, and the deal soured it.
00:49Is there anyone who can confirm your account of the events?
00:52Mandy Gressler.
00:53Sure she's alive?
00:54Last I saw.
00:59I saw you on the 18th.
01:08Well, this is turning out to be somewhat of a regular thing.
01:12I know that you all know that I've been going through this federal judicial nomination process.
01:21And I also know that many of you have given of your precious time to discuss and exaggerate some of my merits to the committee and the FBI.
01:33And I sincerely want to thank you all for that.
01:36Today, a little bit bittersweet for me.
01:42The good news is that my appointment has been confirmed.
01:51But that also means that I will be leaving the firm.
01:55So effective today, our newest partner, Nathan Caldwell, will be assuming the position of managing partner.
02:04And the firm will be called Caldwell & Associates from now on.
02:09Nathan, congratulations.
02:11Well, I don't want to take this moment for anything other than to congratulate Burton.
02:19As for the future, my philosophy is, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
02:27So, you all have your jobs, and the firm will continue to operate exactly as it did.
02:36Mr. Fallon, we need to talk.
02:39Um, I'd like to thank you all for, uh, being so welcome.
02:44Do you know where Mandy Gressler is?
02:47No.
02:50Did she try to contact you?
02:53No.
02:54Mind if we put a tap on your phone?
02:56I'm gonna need to have my lawyer present if this is gonna continue.
03:02Look.
03:04Mandy's on the move.
03:07Just missed her sister's house in Scranton.
03:10Showed up at her ex-husband's place in Redding about a day late.
03:13And would you believe she took first place at an amateur stripping contest in Morgantown?
03:19Mandy's got a bit of a habit.
03:22But then you'd know all about that, huh, Nick?
03:23What is it you want from me, Detective Jocker?
03:27Well, eventually she'll come back to the city, and when she does, she'll call you.
03:35I barely know her.
03:36Well, no matter your relationship, she's gone through all her other options.
03:41If she knows you're a lawyer, you got money.
03:43She probably thinks you're both afraid.
03:51Use my cell phone number.
03:53When she contacts you, you call me.
03:59Let me clear this mess up.
04:00Let me clear this mess up.
04:09Ah.
04:11Nick, will you close the door, please?
04:13Oh, I'm sorry.
04:14No, I'm sorry.
04:15No, I'm sorry.
04:17No, I'm sorry.
04:22Now, I guess you're feeling a little frustrated about what's been happening around here.
04:27I think that, in time, you'll see me as an ally.
04:32And a decent leader.
04:34So, you think we can make this thing work?
04:38You gonna make me a partner?
04:40Well, I don't want to make any major changes this early in my tenure, Nick.
04:45Uh, it just might make the others nervous.
04:47Just give me a little time to transition, huh?
05:03I am sentencing you to 1,500 hours of community service.
05:17Using your skills as a corporate attorney to work as a child advocate.
05:33You want to have this own place, Brian?
05:52You've got all your planning into my lap.
05:54And now all of a sudden in the 11th hour, hang on.
05:56Just wait.
05:57In the 11th hour, you're blaming me for everything.
06:00I have a lot on my plate too.
06:03Fine. Forget it.
06:06You all right?
06:07It's okay. It's just all this wedding stuff.
06:09You know, it's really a cliche at this point, but it's a mess.
06:14And I'm just trying to...
06:19It's okay.
06:28Sorry. What was it that you needed?
06:30Oh, the high school discrimination file.
06:35Oh. Right.
06:38Um, it came in through Alvin, so if you, uh, if you need more information, I'll...
06:44Sure you're all right?
06:46Yeah.
06:47Okay.
06:49Okay.
06:57Nick? Alvin?
07:00Hey.
07:02Morning, James.
07:03Morning.
07:04Levi.
07:05Uh, James.
07:08Can I see you a second?
07:18What's up?
07:20A black eye Levi has.
07:23Yeah?
07:24Did he get at boxing?
07:26Yeah.
07:27With you?
07:29Yes.
07:31James.
07:32Alvin, we've already had this conversation once before.
07:35What I do with my nephew and my time is my business.
07:39Have you given any thought to that parenting class I told you about?
07:43I appreciate your concern, but I know what I'm doing.
07:45Yeah, but hitting a kid, I mean resolving stuff with violence, James...
07:48Alvin, it's a sport.
07:50He can handle it.
07:51Dr. Reed, good to see you.
08:02You too, Nick.
08:02How have you been?
08:04Well, thanks to you.
08:05A few good doctors and medication.
08:07Great.
08:08Well, I'm glad to hear it.
08:10I'm not saying it's been...
08:13I miss my wife.
08:15Of course.
08:16And Hunter does immensely.
08:19But the two of us, it's good.
08:22Hunter's progressing nicely in school.
08:24I'm looking for work.
08:25That's great.
08:26Where?
08:26Teaching, possibly at Chatsworth, as an adjunct.
08:29The dean has been very receptive.
08:31So, uh, how can I help you today, Dr. Reed?
08:35The money that you got for Hunter, I'm the trustee.
08:38That's right.
08:38If anything were to happen to me...
08:40Hunter's grandfather would become trustee until Hunter turns 25.
08:43I don't trust Hunter's grandfather with $5 million.
08:46Okay.
08:47So you don't want Donald Sample as Hunter's second trustee?
08:50No.
08:51Do you have another trustee in mind?
08:54You.
08:55You.
08:55Well, you realize, Dr. Reed, that you're asking me to potentially play a very large role in Hunter's life.
09:04If it weren't for you, Hunter wouldn't even have this money.
09:07I'd be in jail for murder.
09:09Most of all, you made sure that Hunter and I stayed together.
09:14You've already done so much.
09:15If you want to say no, I understand.
09:17No, I...
09:19I accept.
09:25It's open.
09:33Hey, hi, Lori.
09:34Hey, Jay.
09:37We got an appointment today?
09:38Um, no.
09:40Is it okay if I sit down?
09:41Please.
09:44So, uh, what can I help you with?
09:47I stopped by Levi's school on my way here.
09:50He'd do something?
09:50No, uh...
09:52I'm afraid you did.
09:58So, this is an official visit.
10:00James, I want to talk to you about parenting classes.
10:02Who called you in?
10:03Levi's on home detention.
10:04Periodic checks are part of the arrangement.
10:06Levi's juvenile probation officer handles those.
10:08Not you.
10:09I'm here to avoid that.
10:11Don't do me any favors.
10:12James!
10:12You dined me out to social services?
10:18What?
10:18What's wrong with you?
10:20I suggested Lori talk to you about a parenting class.
10:22Do you know how embarrassing and unnecessary this is?
10:25What you're trying to do with your nephew is great.
10:27We just think you may need some help.
10:29Now it's we.
10:30I cannot ignore the potential physical abuse of a child just because it's being done by one of my lawyers.
10:34It's just a parenting class, James.
10:36I'll take a parenting class when the courts tell me to.
10:40Hey, Nick.
10:49Good to see you.
10:59Hey.
11:00What is Mitchell Lickman doing in here?
11:04Caldwell brought him back.
11:06Why?
11:06Caldwell says this is a big move for him and he can't do it without Lickman.
11:11You fired him.
11:12He committed a felony.
11:15Nicholas.
11:17I resigned from the firm yesterday.
11:19I no longer have any say on how it's run.
11:22What's his title?
11:24What's his position?
11:27Partner.
11:29Okay.
11:30They voted him in yesterday.
11:31It's Caldwell's first order of business.
11:33First order of business?
11:34Yeah.
11:37Caldwell planned on bringing him back the moment you cut him loose.
11:40Could be.
11:54Jake, come with me.
11:58What did that make you partner?
11:59You screwed me over for Lickman because you wanted to get into their government relations
12:05department.
12:07Nick, look, I...
12:08Okay.
12:09I was desperate.
12:10I am barred from doing mergers.
12:12My father kept you in this firm because he liked you.
12:15You seriously think Caldwell and Lickman would do the same for you?
12:17Wait, what are you saying?
12:19I don't trust those two, Jake.
12:20Do you?
12:21No.
12:21But what choice do we have?
12:23Meet me at legal services tonight at 9.30.
12:26Bring Arnold Parker, Henry Stone, and Lisa Jacoby.
12:28What are them?
12:53Nick, where are you?
12:56In here.
12:56Oh, okay.
12:58It's on this way.
13:03Hey.
13:07We all probably know why we're here.
13:09None of us feels too good about the changes that are going on at the firm, and Nick and
13:12I have a few ideas we wanted to present to you.
13:14Thanks, Jake.
13:14I just want to keep it simple.
13:16I want something different.
13:17A real partnership.
13:19A place that the clients belong to the firm and we divide the profits equally.
13:24A place where we decide on the risks and get the rewards.
13:27No inflated partner salaries, no downtown rent, no useless associates.
13:31No Caldwell and Lickman.
13:33No Caldwell and Lickman.
13:34Who are the clients?
13:35We will bring the people that we service to my father's firm.
13:38Caldwell and Lickman can't hold on to them if we leave.
13:41Will your father support this?
13:43What does it matter now?
13:44Michelle, I need you to call Alfred Barnes.
13:52It's set up a breakfast for tomorrow morning.
13:54And if you can pull the shield in the street file and have it sent to my home.
13:59Oh, God.
14:00How was your month?
14:01I've been sitting in here like two hours.
14:05There's a sign over there about the garage having carcinogens and something about a warning
14:09for pregnant mother-
14:10The police are looking for you?
14:11You don't think I know that?
14:12I need $6,000.
14:15Right now, did the police have made my deal?
14:17You should go and make yours.
14:18Did you tell them the truth?
14:20That I saved your life?
14:22And that Lenny was going crazy?
14:24I told them what happened.
14:27What the f-
14:28What, you told them that I shot Lenny in the back and that I was ripping Dale off?
14:32That's-
14:33I told them what happened, Mandy.
14:35When you talk to the police, it might help them understand.
14:38I need money.
14:40I can't help you.
14:40Well, I could tell them what you did.
14:43I didn't do anything.
14:45You know, if I get in trouble, I could tell them that we were involved.
14:49I could tell them that you ran on Scam and Dale.
14:52I could tell them a lot of things.
14:54Give me a hundred so I can get a motel room at least.
14:56You go make your deal.
14:57Please?
14:58What?
14:59Come on!
15:01Detective Dogger?
15:02You know, you suck.
15:04Mandy!
15:05I need to speak with Detective Dogger.
15:17This really gives me peace of mind, Nick.
15:20I appreciate it.
15:21No problem.
15:22You know, Hunter talks about you all the time.
15:24Well, I'd like to spend some more time with him.
15:26How about this evening?
15:28I've got two tickets to the ball game right behind home plate.
15:31And you can't take it?
15:32The dean at Chatsworth wants me to meet with the committee this evening.
15:35It'd be great if I could, you know, for the job.
15:38Sure.
15:39Yeah.
15:39Great.
15:40Well, the game starts at around 7.35.
15:42Hunter likes batting practice.
15:43Why don't you come by at around 6?
15:45All right.
15:45Thanks.
15:46Thanks.
15:47Yeah, great.
15:55Hey.
15:57You wanted to see me?
15:58Yeah, come on.
16:00I'm just packing up.
16:03Last of my things here, I thought maybe you might want some of this crap.
16:07No, my office is pretty much done.
16:10I arranged with Nathan.
16:11I arranged for you to have this office.
16:21Yeah.
16:27What is it?
16:32I'm not going to be sitting here.
16:35Really?
16:36Why don't you make that decision?
16:40Today.
16:41I guess it was today.
16:43Hmm.
16:44Yeah, I was, I was, I was going to tell you.
16:51What are you going to do, go across the street, or?
16:55No.
16:56Uh, a few of us from here are going to start our own firm.
17:00A few of you?
17:02Yes.
17:03You think that's the best move?
17:05I do.
17:05Well, I don't want to get into your decision, but, um, if you leave, there's a good chance you'll lose all my clients.
17:18I think several will come with me.
17:22Caldwell know about this, this, uh, defection?
17:25Not yet.
17:26Am I supposed to sit on it for you?
17:28Yeah, I would appreciate it.
17:33Let's see.
17:37Do you, do you realize that, uh, that I brought Caldwell in here basically to, uh, protect you?
17:43I'll give you a better shot at, uh, holding on to the clients and, uh, keeping the firm going.
17:53I mean, did you consider that before you decided to cannibalize it?
17:59I did.
18:01I did consider that.
18:02I guess you gotta do, uh, gotta do what you gotta do.
18:20Mandy Gressler spent a night in a motel out in McKeesport.
18:24Near the turnpike entrance.
18:28Okay.
18:29Did you enjoy banging her?
18:31What?
18:31Because you were certainly dumb enough to pay for her room.
18:35All right, can you come and sit here?
18:42She, she stole my credit card.
18:44How may I ask?
18:45Would she do that?
18:46My car, I, I keep duplicates of my credit cards in my car and she's stolen it from my car.
18:51You drove her someplace?
18:52No, I didn't.
18:53She, she jumped in my car when I, in the parking garage.
18:56You didn't tell me that before.
18:59I didn't, I didn't.
19:00She, she jumped in my car.
19:01That's when she asked me for the money.
19:04You know, I looked it up, Fallon.
19:07In your own version of events at that strip club, you committed three technical probation violations.
19:13Now, the only reason I don't haul you in right now is on the off chance that you two cross paths again.
19:20You, uh, you need something?
19:39So, what's going on?
19:44Uh, well, you know, I'm the legal guardian, uh, for my nephew, Levi.
19:54Home detention, right?
19:56That's right.
19:56Um, Alvin's under the impression that I might not be such a good influence.
20:04And now there's a hearing to force me to take parenting classes.
20:07Based on what?
20:08Based on Levi's entirely voluntary participation in boxing lessons with me.
20:12Alvin told Lori, who talked to Levi's juvenile probation officer, the JPO, filed a report with the judge.
20:21Oh, you want me to represent you?
20:22Well, it'd be fine.
20:23You just follow my lead.
20:24No, no.
20:25What?
20:26No, if you, you want me to represent you, then I call the shots.
20:30I've done over a thousand of these hearings.
20:31Have you ever been to a party?
20:32No.
20:33You know.
20:33I call the shots.
20:42You should talk to, uh, Levi's in the conference room doing homework.
20:47I know, I know.
20:50It's your game.
20:53Nick.
20:55Uh, you know, uh, thanks.
20:58That's right.
21:03Semi-none World Series starters.
21:07Willie Stargell, Bill Garner, Tim Foley, Madlock, and Ed Ott.
21:14Centerfield?
21:15Omar Marino.
21:16Left?
21:17Bill Robinson and Milner Platoon.
21:20Right.
21:21Dave Parker.
21:22There you go.
21:22You got the rotation.
21:24Bly Levin, Candelaria, Bibby, and...
21:28Goose Gossage was the closer.
21:30Gossage was in New York that year.
21:31Uh, the Colvey was a closer.
21:35He was a forced daughter.
21:37I'll have to ask my dad.
21:39He knows all about this stuff.
21:40Well, thank you for the tickets.
21:41Thanks for taking me.
21:42Yeah, it was great.
21:43See you later.
21:43See you.
21:44See you.
22:01Nick, it's Alvin.
22:13I'm at Pittsburgh General.
22:15Thomas Reed tried to kill himself.
22:18Dr. Wagman to OR5.
22:20Dr. Wagman to OR5.
22:24What's going on?
22:25Dr. Reed tried to overdose.
22:27What?
22:28He's all right?
22:29He pumped his stomach.
22:30He's stable.
22:31Did Hunter find him?
22:34Yeah.
22:36No, Nick.
22:37No.
22:38Hunter?
22:39Hunter?
22:40Please, leave him alone.
22:41Mr. Sample.
22:42Don't you think you've done enough to the boy?
22:43Mr. Sample, I understand.
22:44Don't you ever tell me you understand anything.
22:47Not until you become a father who loses his only child.
22:50Not until you become a grandfather who watches some punk lawyer place his grandchild in the killer's hands.
22:55Hunter, I'm going to make sure your father gets the best care he can.
22:58Just leave.
23:00Dr. Foreman to oncology.
23:02Dr. Foreman, report to oncology.
23:08Nick?
23:12God, I'm sorry.
23:17Need to talk about it?
23:18Listen, it happens like this all the time.
23:25You do your job, you follow your gut and it blows up in your face.
23:28I've been there.
23:32Want to get a cup of coffee?
23:34No.
23:35Get a bite to eat, hang out.
23:37No, no.
23:38Look, Nick, you can't take this long.
23:39No, I don't want to hang out, Alvin.
23:40I don't want to talk.
23:41I don't want to be your friend.
23:41I don't want to hear your recovery story.
23:43I don't want to hear your story.
24:04Toddwin Associates, may I help you?
24:06The senator would like to see you.
24:14Well, I appreciate the heads up, Mr. Parker.
24:17So thank you.
24:22Arnold?
24:23Nick, have a seat.
24:38I have to say, we have gotten off to a truly unfortunate start.
24:45And much of that is my fault.
24:47I take responsibility for underestimating you,
24:53not taking into account your many years of work here,
24:56your importance to the firm.
24:59What is your point?
25:02My point is,
25:03I have reconsidered my position.
25:08I've spoken to the other partners,
25:09and we are prepared to offer you a full equity partnership.
25:17No thanks.
25:38Nick, if you take our clients,
25:40I can make life pretty miserable for your father.
25:42James, why did you become Levi's guardian in the first place?
25:50He's my nephew and I love him.
25:52He was in trouble and he had nowhere else to go.
25:55Have you been a guardian before?
25:57No.
25:58Why do you take Levi to the boxing gym?
26:00I believe that training and discipline is good for him.
26:03And why boxing? Why not karate or football?
26:06It's what I know.
26:08He kept me off the streets as a teenager,
26:10gave me a family of people, kept me off drugs and in school.
26:13I mean, it's a beautiful sport.
26:16It trains the body and the mind.
26:19Is it common to get bruises on your face when you're in the ring?
26:22It's a sport. You hit, get hit.
26:24No further questions.
26:26Miss Shaw?
26:28Is it true that you were a Golden Gloves champion?
26:31Yes.
26:32What weight class?
26:33Light heavyweight.
26:35How much does Levi weigh?
26:37I don't know.
26:39150.
26:40Is that light heavyweight?
26:42Welterweight.
26:43Did you obtain permission from Levi's juvenile probation officer for your visits to the gym?
26:48Yes.
26:49When you spoke to the JPO, did you clarify that you personally would be boxing Levi?
26:54No.
26:55Has Levi been trained as a boxer?
26:58That's what I'm doing now.
27:00Before you took him into the ring?
27:02No.
27:03Do you think it's appropriate with your vast experience as a fighter and your clear size advantage
27:09to take a 16-year-old boy into the ring and punch him in the stomach and the face?
27:17It's just boxing.
27:21No further questions, Your Honor.
27:23Mr. Mooney, why did you originally decide to teach Levi to box?
27:28He needed structure.
27:29Well, the rules of home detention are very structured.
27:34I thought he needed more.
27:37Has Levi broken any conditions of home detention while under your care?
27:48I'm waiting, counselor.
27:49He skipped school once to be with his girlfriend and got picked up by a true and officer.
28:01He missed a counseling meeting.
28:05You may step down, Mr. Mooney.
28:07Ms. Solt, in making your recommendation about a parenting class, were you aware of these violations?
28:22No, Your Honor.
28:28I have no problem with boxing.
28:30I do have a problem with Levi boxing you, Mr. Mooney.
28:33However, my biggest problem is not with Levi's activities in the gym.
28:38Levi, you were charged with manslaughter.
28:41You were able to avoid being sentenced to a juvenile detention facility only by agreeing to judge Sutton's very specific rules of home detention.
28:48You broke those rules.
28:50Mr. Mooney, you and the boxing gym do not take the place of the court.
28:54I am placing Levi Mooney in the Schumann Center for the next 60 days.
28:59Mr. Mooney, we can revisit the issue of Levi's home detention under your care in two months' time.
29:04When you complete a parenting class.
29:06So you're just gonna throw him in jail and not give him a second chance?
29:09James. James.
29:10Mr. Mooney, home detention was that second chance.
29:16He'll be out in two months.
29:17James.
29:42Hey.
29:44What do you got?
29:45So Henderson's in. So's Mandel and Hupfinger.
29:49We're keeping Atlantic Union Finance, American Box, and Steven Suffolk.
29:53What about you?
29:54Everybody so far.
29:55Good. All right. Well, the other guys have about seven clients between them.
29:57I just got off the phone with the real estate guy.
29:59He said we can get that loft space on the south side up and running by the end of the month.
30:03So you wanna pull the trigger?
30:05Yeah.
30:07I can't believe we're doing this.
30:09I can't believe we're doing this.
30:11Do you have these files pulled and sent to my house?
30:15Croft, Staghouse, Martech, Stein and Strait.
30:17So what these are...
30:19These are all Arnold Parker's clients.
30:21Yeah.
30:30James.
30:31This wasn't supposed to happen.
30:39We need to get past this.
30:40Past this?
30:42Past this.
30:44You sent my nephew to detention.
30:47Quitting this job won't make it better.
30:49Why you even do this kind of work?
30:51You don't have any kids.
30:52You don't even know the world these kids come from.
30:54I do it because it's good work.
30:58Alvin, this job was my goal.
31:00Not something to just cover up time.
31:02Something to just cover up the fact that nobody wants to be around a pompous 12-step control freak.
31:07That's not fair, James.
31:08No, I'll tell you what's not fair.
31:11Bringing my family around here to show them what they can become.
31:14And having you call social services on me and humiliate me in front of my family and colleagues, all because of what I'm doing you don't understand.
31:22I'm sorry.
31:27I'll add to Levi.
31:29Don't quit your job, James.
31:30You're the best lawyer they have here.
31:31You are.
31:41What the hell's going on?
31:44You know what?
31:45I need to talk to you.
31:46Okay.
31:49Where have you been?
31:50I took a vacation.
31:57What is it?
32:03You know, my wedding was turning into such a mess.
32:08And it really became a monster.
32:11Brian's mother was fighting with me about everything.
32:14Everything.
32:16I, uh...
32:18I confessed to Brian.
32:22You know?
32:23I mean, about our...
32:25My slip.
32:27And, uh...
32:28I didn't mention your name, and I told him that it didn't go anywhere, but...
32:33He was...
32:35He was really very angry, as I guess I expected he would be.
32:39He was angry?
32:40Yeah.
32:41I mean, of...
32:42Of course.
32:44Uh...
32:46And, um...
32:47Well, I didn't know.
32:48I, uh...
32:52You know, I've been confused, and, um...
32:54And then I felt...
32:56Relieved.
32:58Because I didn't know...
33:00What to expect.
33:05So we...
33:06We called it off.
33:09I think that's good.
33:11It's good.
33:13No.
33:14We called off the big wedding, and...
33:17We went to Atlantic City and got married.
33:24Okay.
33:47Miss Salt?
33:48Your recommendation?
33:49Under the circumstances, Hunter should live with his grandparents.
33:53Any objections to this?
33:55No, ma'am.
33:56Hunter Reed will be permanently placed with his maternal grandparents, Donald and Phyllis Sample.
34:13Good luck to both of you.
34:14Thank you very much.
34:16Mr. Sample.
34:19I'd like your permission to have a word with Hunter.
34:34Listen.
34:37Hunter, I, um...
34:39I made a mistake.
34:41When I fought for you to stay with your father, I...
34:43I...
34:46I should have known that you belong with your grandparents.
34:50I should have known that your father wasn't ready, and...
34:52I should have just...
34:54let your grandparents take care of you long enough to be sure...
35:02that this is the right thing.
35:06that this is the right thing.
35:11It's the way it should be.
35:12It's the right thing.
35:13You know, I can't accept any of these.
35:17and you know i can't accept any of these now you could have given them to me before my appointment

41:36I need an ambulance tonight in 80 Ellsworth in Shadyside.
41:46I have a woman.
41:47I think her heart has stopped.
41:50Yeah.
41:50I'm feeling for a pulse.
41:53No, she's...
41:54She doesn't have a pulse.
41:57Nick, you home?
41:58Oh God.
42:00No.
42:01You can't come in.
42:02Listen, I have to talk to you for a minute now.
42:05Can't wait.
42:05Son, listen to me, okay?
42:09When you, uh...
42:11When you got arrested, things were not looking so good.
42:14It turns out the DA was gunning for you.
42:16He wasn't about to plea bargain.
42:18In fact, he was looking for five years minimum.
42:20I went to Caldwell to make a deal.
42:23And he agreed to talk the DA down to a misdemeanor.
42:26Look, can we talk about this tomorrow?
42:27And I had to promise him a partnership.
42:29What?
42:29You gave him your firm?
42:31Now, here's the problem.
42:32I just found out that kid Lickman knew all about it.
42:36He has records of all our discussions.
42:38If he gives it up to other people, it could be very bad.
42:40Dad, I can't talk about this now.
42:42Son, I cannot.
42:43I just came over here to tell you first.
42:45As far as I'm concerned, they could both go to hell.
42:46All right.
42:47All right, I've heard it.
42:48I've heard it.
42:48Just don't let them push you around.
42:50I won't.
42:50You know, you have to go now.
42:52Don't let them do that to you.
42:53Dad, you have to leave now.
42:54You can't be here.
42:55Please, Dad, just leave.
42:57Just take care of yourself.
42:58Just leave.
42:59Okay.
43:20I'm leaving you this message because, uh...
43:32Yeah, Dad, it's, uh...
43:39It's Nick, yeah.
43:43I'm leaving you this message because, uh...
43:47I'm, uh...
43:48I'm, uh...
43:49I'm, uh...
43:50You know, I...
43:51I'm sorry.
43:52I'm sorry for...
43:54For, uh...
43:56Everything.
43:57And, uh...
43:57I just haven't, um...
43:59Been...
44:01Yeah, I'm just...
44:02I'm sorry.
44:03Okay.
44:04Okay.
44:04I came back here because I wanted to work with you because I respect you and I wanted to spend more time with you.
44:15And I'm afraid that I've just done what I usually do and I'm just afraid and Dad, I just want you to know that I love you and I just want to apologize.
44:45See you next time.
