There's some seats up front.
I'll show you.
I don't want that.
Thank you.
Are you a Catholic?
It's beautiful.
No, it's not.
But it could've been.
I don't know
what's gonna happen, but...
I don't blame you
for wanting to leave.
Oregon.
The boys...
it'll be good for them.
I know how hard it must be
for you to say that.
I'm sorry I was late today.
We should've waited.
I came here for some meaning.
I'm trying--
I want you to give the world
meaning to me.
Why does the world need meaning?
Why does the--
Because the world's a sewer.
Because the world's a shithole
and a gar bage dump.
Because my father-in-law
got me to screw a good man...
a decent man,
out of his money.
And my wife cheers me on.
Because I got into a fender bender
with this guy on the FDR.
I had a flight with him. I tried
to do everything to settle it.
- But this guy just won't let it go.
- Why?
- Why wouldn't he let it go?
- I don't know why!
I don't know why.
Sometimes, God likes to put two guys
in a paper bag and just let 'em rip.
Thank you.
Thank you for letting us go.
Are you saying
he's a threat to his chlldren?
He's toId friends that
if his ex-wife got custody...
and take them out of this country.
- And she got custody?
- We were in court this morning.
I don't know for a fact
that he's coming here, but--
- Doyle Gipson? Really?
- Really. What does that mean?
He comes to every play they're in,
all the teacher conferences.
So a guy comes to a school play,
you trust him?
Doyle Gipson is a man
of no honor at all!
A low man.
But that's okay, because
no body else has any honor either.
That's what makes life
so hard for people--
is that we're taught
this fairy tale.
The good and well,
and the bad and poorly.
- Do you believe that?
- I'd like to.
He's coming here.
Be ready for him.
Is he in?
Hello. Is he there?
Well, I just need
I'm calling from
his children's school.
Yeah. I'm afraid
there's been an accident.
- How are my sons?
- Who are your sons?
Danny and Steven Gipson. I received
a call that said they were hurt.
- I haven't heard anything.
I wanna see my sons!
- Mr. Gipson--
- Miss Miller, how are the boys?
before we call the police.
Mr. Gipson,
don't make me call the police.
- So, they're fine?
- Yes, your boys are fine.
- And all of this is just a mistake?
- Yes.
I'm sorry.
Call the police.
Daniel Gipson! Stevie Gipson!
Can you hear me?
- Can you hear me?
- Call their mother.
- Daddy!
- Come back here.
- Daddy!
Get off me!
Get off-- Danny! Stevie!
- Daddy! No!
- Calm down!
They said you were hurt!
You haven't been hurt or sick today?
We're gonna pick you up
nice and slowly.
- All right? Got it?
- Okay.
- Don't hurt my dad! Please!
- Okay, let's go. Up.
Nice and easy.
Come on.
See that?
I tried to make peace with you.
You know what I can do to you
for trying to kill me?
You know who I am?
You know who I am?
You see what I can do to you?
You try to kill me?
Motherf***er.
What's up now?
Sh*t.
Empty your pockets, sir.
Keys.
Change.
Wallet. Pager.
File.
Hey, how you doing?
I'm looking for a Ron Ca bot.
- Count your money, sir.
- What?
Count your money.
Mr. Cabot,
I am DoyIe Gipson's attorney.
I don't wanna talk about him. Since
we're closing, I don't have to.
I understand that. Mr. Ca bot,
I just need you to help me--
Seventy-seven dollars.
I'm asking you to try
to help me help Doyle here.
He needs it.
He has had about
the worst day of his life.
He had this credit problem that was
not his fault. It was caused by--
Someone who hacked away
into his records. I know.
How can we get this whole thing
straightened out? What can I do?
Nothing.
Okay. Mr. Ca bot.
Ron, let's try this
another way, okay?
Let's say there's a different man.
You don't know this guy.
And he has some credit problems
that are his fault.
And then another man--
you don't know him--
he wants to help
the fllrst guy, okay?
Now, what does he have to do to help
the second guy take out a loan?
Come on. What do I do? Just cosign?
What's the thing? What's the deal?
Can you please tell me
what I gotta do.
I'm asking you what I have to do
to make this thing work.
You know this has nothing
to do with you. It's this guy.
- He's been at me all day.
- Some body you're fighting with?
You had a fight with some body
who hit your car...
and then you spent the day
in some kind of battle with him.
Then he went to the school
to hurt you as hard as he could.
You believe me?
Thank God. Thank God.
This guy, this lawyer,
Gavin Banek--
Doyle, stop! Stop, Doyle!
I don't care.
Whatever this little drama
you've gotten yourself into...
it's just the kind of thing
And it never happens to me unless
I am in your field of gravity.
You went crazy like you always do,
like you always will go crazy.
Drunk or sober, it doesn't matter,
'cause that's you.
A person can be loving...
and a person can be crazy
all at once.
That's life. But this is not
Just my life now or yours.
It is the life
of two children...
and I have to protect
those two children.
Is that a misunderstanding?
Is it?
Is it, Doyle? I mean,
is that this guy's fault?
At least let me say
good- bye to them.
I'm takin' those boys away,
and you will never see them again.
You will never find us. Do not try
to come after us. Do you hear me?
It is over!
- Where's Ellen?
- She went home.
Why are you still here?
You told me to wait.
Well, come on in.
Have a seat.
- So why do you wanna be a lawyer?
- I believe in the law.
I believe in order and justice.
by nature, good.
I believe that historical forces
push us into conflict...
and without the law
we would have
a world of vendetta...
a world of violence,
a world of chaos.
The law--
The law keeps us civilized.
- I'm sorry.
- I don't think it's--
- I'm sorry.
- I don't think it's funny.
That's why I am gonna
give you this job.
Because I wanna hear what
you have to say about the law...
after you've worked here
for five years...
or three years, or a month...
a week, a day, an hour.
I'm hired?
Don't I have to see...
a committee or something?
- You made bail.
- Who?
A friend.
"To the Honorable
Judge Frances Abarbanel.
I have been unable to recover
the power of appointment...
signed by Simon Dunne.
But even if I had been able to
produce the power of appointment...
I want the court to know that
the document was a fraud.
I induced Mr. Dunne
to sign a document...
diminished and he was incapable...
of making an informed decision.""
They set you up! They made
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
- And they're gonna make more.
- And I made partner...
and a bonus that could've paid
