Daddy's Little Girls Page #9

Synopsis: A mechanic (Elba) enlists the help of a successful-but-lonely attorney (Union) while trying to wrest custody of his three daughters from his treacherous ex-wife and her larcenous boy friend. Along the way, the working relationship between the blue collar dad and his uptown attorney grows into something more. This is a simple, touching story of two people trying to overcome their different backgrounds to find love, a down-on-his-luck man struggling to protect his children from abuse and neglect, and a community looking to purge itself from the criminals terrorizing their neighborhood.

- What?

- Sir, I didn't do anything.

- Shut up.

- I didn't do anything. It was her idea.

- Shut up, superstar.

- Tell him, I didn't do anything.

- Call the police.

Tell him, Amanda.

If you don't tell the truth, I'm going to jail.

- Tell him the truth.

- You're ball days are over.

- You got me?

- I didn't do nothing.

- Shut up!

- I didn't do nothing.

- Shut up!

- I didn't do...

Get you hands off of me.

I can't even stand to look at you.

You're a rapist.

I bet you

he won't ever take our money again.

I know, that's right.

Got to keep it straight, Jen.

You know I got your back, right, baby?

That's why you my girl.

You know, I want to go see that movie

with the dude with the ax.

No, no, no, it's the chain saw.

Baby, you know

if we went to see that movie...

Check it out.

Oh, snap. Load up. Load up.

Stop it!

There was a near riot today

in the Edgewood community.

Police officers were called in

to break up a fight

between local gang members

and residents who had had enough.

Among those arrested was Monty James.

You may remember Monty James,

a high school basketball star,

who was falsely convicted in 1990

for allegedly having non-consensual sex

with a 17-year-old girl.

I'm assuming you have

admissible evidence this time.

Yes, Your Honor.

The police seized

several pounds of marijuana,

hidden in the defendant's vehicle.

Subsequent search of the residence

turned up several kilograms

of crack cocaine.

This time, Your Honor,

we have a valid warrant.

Your Honor, even though

they served a search warrant,

they still have no witnesses.

Your Honor, I'll testify.

Congratulations,

it looks like you have a case.

Take them into custody.

There will be no bond.

- Next case.

- Wait, get your hands off of me.

The State of Georgia versus Monty James.

Order. Order in this court! All of

you, quiet, or I'll have you removed.

I will have order.

Order.

Order.

I said order!

- Who's here for the defense?

- I am, Your Honor.

Ms. Rossmore.

May I take a second, please?

What you doing here?

I'm sorry, I didn't give

you a chance to explain,

and if you don't ever want to speak

to me again, I completely understand.

Let me help you.

Monty, just let me help you.

Just get me back to my kids.

Ms. Rossmore?

Your Honor, there's no evidence

my client committed any criminal act.

The State has no case against him.

We demand a preliminary hearing

and request the State be required

to show probable cause.

Your Honor, I'm sure that one of these

witnesses can attest to the fact

that Mr. James drove his vehicle

into the previous defendant's vehicle.

It was an accident.

I'm sure that the subsequent fistfight

was an accident also there, Counselor.

Where are the witnesses?

Your Honor,

the entire neighborhood saw this.

I'm sure we have a witness.

May I have one of the witnesses

please stand at this time?

- Your Honor...

- I'm dismissing the case.

I love you,

and I'm sorry for everything.

Oh, man. Come on, man.

I can't believe this.

The whole neighborhood remembered.

- Daddy!

- Daddy!

Come here, baby.

- It's all on you now, boy.

- I love you, man. I appreciate it.

Bye, babies.
