Dard Divorce

That was Lawernce Berg in North Carolina.

And Mark you are next on the EIB Network, hello Rush...

... it is an honour to speak

with you. -- Thank you, sir.

I just find it ironic that, when we, uh,

When we have street demonstrations.

in favour of Amnesty, we've tried people

for sending up the Mexican flag.

There is nothing that could have been

done to make this situation better.

Other then to turn back time,

so that it wouldn't happen at all.

In this moment, there were two choices for me

to give up or start a completely

new life from the beginning.

I chose the latter. And made

this the day of my rebirth.

From a sober standpoint, if someone were to

ask me if I am an alcoholic.

Then I would have to answer yes.

When I look back at my life today...

You could say that everything was just

like in a story-book. Well, almost everything.

My parents, Sabina and Bernad Stein.

immigrated 15 years ago from Germany to America

And settled in my California

My father started a fast food restaurant.

as if there weren't enough in America.

But it did very well.

Before long he was earning lots of money

The only problem was. That I got pregnant.

At the tender age of 14.

That's Elisabeth,

my first born.

-- Wheres my orange juice.

-- In the frigde where it always is.

Well, I am late. You could at least

have put it on the table.

The early riser is never late, you have

heard this before. Put it to practice.

- Thats bullshit.

- Don't talk to me like that.

I'm not one of your girlfriends.

Understood.

-- What about Jeremy.

-- He's still asleep.

I thought I asked you to wake him up on time.

you know that your Dad is...

Coming after school to pick you guys up.

-- It's boring.

Listen, Elisabeth. We will get

through all of this together.

Soon, we will get a verdict.

I want to be sure everything is going as planned.

After that neither of you will have

to go to your Father's.

Yeah, but.

No but's. -- At the age of 13

children are always a bit difficult.

I've grown to ignore the crabby

comments and bad attitude.

At the request of my parents

I married Elisabeth's father, Tim.

Come on, sleepy head.

Time to get dressed and brush your teeth.

Besides my motherly duties. I continued

with my profession as a lawyer.

Tim managed a few of my Father's

restaurants. And later after his death.

He assumed complete responsibility for

the franchise. Unfortunately, without success.

I still do not know exactly when it started.

But, eventually we grew apart.

And then our fights and divorce.

Where are the damned burgers.

The guests are getting impatient, get moving.

Sorry boss. But as you can see,

I am the only one here today

I don't give a flying f***, if you are the only

one here. Or only have one arm.

I want the burgers in a minute.

Or you can get packing.

Get the f*** out of here.

You are more trouble then your worth.

Tim was nasty as it started and took every

opportunity he could to make my life difficult.

The irony is that

I am a divorce attorney.

And I'll be sure to

leave him with nothing.

Hi, hello, sorry that I am late.

Sunday evening at 5, if you are not

on time I'll call the police.

-- Okay, I'll, be on time.

-- And Timothy, have a good time its one of the last.

I am sure that Tim knew

I have a lover.

After I told Tim I had filed for divorce.

He flipped out a bit.

He wanted to have full

custody of the children.

So he and his lawyer tried to

Paint me as an alcoholic.

Whose unable to take care of the children.

It wasn't my objective, but I decided

to use all my legal savvy, very quickly

And I threw everything I had at him.

Tim spent his last

cent for his lawyer.

And it didn't get him anywhere. He went

from running a franchise to employee of the month.

It was clear that we had a hearing

ahead of us. And that he would lose.

This meant that he wouldn't

see the children unless I allowed it.

After fighting with all my spirit.

And taking everything from my ex.

Suddenly, I felt sorry for him. I

had no idea how bad it would get.

Bonny.

Bonny.

Bonny.

Bonny.

Bonny where are you.

Bonny leave the cats alone.

I've just been threatened with murder.

It is a letter with the word

DARD written in blood.

Of course it's a death threat.

Well, whoever wrote it. Got into

my house somehow.

No, no one I know would play

a sick prank like that.

My dog also disappeared awhile ago.

I heard her yelp outside.

Thank you very much. I appreciate your efforts.

Miss Stein who, or what should we be looking for?

Do you know anyone who would want to kill your dog?

I've searched all over, no

dog, no traces of blood...

and no sign of foulplay.

Got to be honest with you. There's

not much we can do for you right now.

And there are some hunters in the area. And

if they haven't seen any game.

-- They might blame it on the dog.

-- I understand, I thought that, too.

But what does DARD mean.

I'll take it to the lab

and have it analysised.

And if there is something. We'll

certainly know by tomorrow evening.

-- Hi Tim. How are the children. -- Good,

we went to the fair then swimming in the ocean.

Hey that sounds nice, I'm going shopping now.

And I would happy if we could all meet...

...in Chinatown this afternoon.

If you don't mind.

I would like to invite you over for dinner.

And lets just have a nice evening

like we used to. What do you think?

That would make me happy.

And I think it would be good for the kids.

OK, then I'll meet you at 6.

Alright, I'm looking forward to it.

-- Jake, sorry I'm late.

-- How's my favorite landshark?

-- Funny.

-- Bad day.

I'm really worried. Something isn't

right. Are we going to eat or what?

I'm afraid today its or what.

I just got a call...

Dan needs me back at the office.

Nathalie, a judge is going to award

you complete control of your children.

Tim's broke, has a minimum wage

job, legal bills a mile high.

And a crappy studio apartment

on the bad side of town.

And he's had a couple run ins with the law.

After Thursday's decision.

He won't be able to see you or your

children for quite awhile.

Trust me I'm a lawyer.

Why are you so worried.

I can feel something bad.

When he picked up the children.

-- His manner ...

-- For Tim to do something stupid.

Would rule out any chance of getting

visitation in the future.

He's not stupid.

Just lazy, tired and beaten.

-- That's why he failed.

-- I'm not so sure.

Nallie, I got to go.

But I'll take you up on this lunch,

as soon as I finished milkshake case.

Excuse me.

-- Yes.

-- This is Detective Carry.

We found out what DARD means.

It is a curse that translated means pain.

The number you are calling is temporarily ...

The number you are calling is temporarily ...

I, I screwed up.

-- Screwed up, what? How?

-- They have the children.

-- I am so sorry.

-- What, what the hell do you mean.

That is where the dog is buried ...

Where is Jeremy, where is Elisabeth?

My husband has been murdered.

Yes, yes. Mads Drive 50.
