Domestic Disturbance Page #5

I'm sorry

Danny's not going to go

anywhere,

I promise

you that, okay?

Dan, listen up

Whatever the judge

decides today

I want you to know that

your mother loves you

remember that

I'll see you there

All right

Love you

Love you, too

I'm ready to go

Mom?

She's bringing the car

around,

Danny She can't hear you

I'm not afraid of you

I don't give a damn if

you're afraid of me or not

What I want to know is,

do I need to be afraid of you

Danny?

What do you mean ?

This custody hearing

thing that you have

us all going to today

if we come home

without you

Dan

that's going to upset

your mom

and like I said to you

I can't allow that to happen

Now, I know that you

love your dad very much

How would you feel if

something happened to him?

Look, I'll do whatever

you want

Just, please,

leave them alone

I want both parties

to know

That a child of

Danny's age

is old enough to have a

voice in determining

which parent he would be

better off living with

Now, that being said

call your witness

Mr. Berman

Thank you

Your honour, we'd like to call

Danny Morrison to the stand

Hello, Danny

Danny Morrison ?

Yes, sir

How old are you?

I'm 12, sir

Twelve, so we can't

swear you in

But it is your word of

honour when you sit in

that witness box

do you understand that?

Yes, sir

Good,

then let's get to work

Counsellor

Thank you, Your honour

Hello, Danny

I'm going to ask you a

few questions

you all right with that?

All right, let's go back

to the evening of October 18th

That was the night your

mother cane home from the

doctor with some news

just tell what

happened

I found out that my mom

was going to have a baby

Yeah ? How did you

handle that?

I guess I kind of freaked

Go on

After that, I wanted to

go and see my dad

How come?

Cause I felt like I needed

to talk things over with him

You and your dad are

pretty close then ?

Yes, sir

All right, Danny, just

take your time and tell us

what happened next

Well, I hid in the back

of Rick's truck

cause he was going

into town,

and that's near where

my dad lives

And then

And then he stopped at

this office building and

I jumped out

What?

I ran to my dad's house,

And I made up this story

about seeing him kill some guy

Danny, what are you

doing ? Tell them the truth

This is the truth, Dad

Did he threaten you?

You keep this up

Mr. Morrison,

I will have you removed

from this courtroom

This is not how

Frank sit down

Let me ask you

something, Danny

Do you want to give it

another try with your

mom and Rick

Or do you think you'd

be better off living

with your dad ?

I'd like to stay with my

mom and Rick

Look

Frank

I know what

happened today

I'm glad somebody

does. Drink?

I'm not going to

drink with you

Frank

Too bad

You ought to go home

Okay

Frank

Danny lied

Again

But at least he's not

living under the same

roof with a killer

I'll drink to that

No, this is how you

lost Danny the first time

Come on

Frank let's go home

That's the best offer

I've had in a while

You get fresh

Frank

I'll make it real

It's my day to see him

Susan

Yeah, I know it is

What?

I tried talking to him

but he just

went racing out

I'm sure he just feels

badly about lying to you

I'm sure it'll be okay

I'm sorry

I have to go,

But I promise I'll tell

him to call you

Cheeseburger and

french fries

Can I get you anything

to drink?

Diet Coke

Sounds good

Took me 15 years to get

one of these. How long

you been here?

Been here about two years

but I being here

for a long time

Two years

At the rate you're going,

we'll be naming the town

after you

Thank you very much, I

appreciate it. Thank you

I'd just like to say

thank you to the men and

women of Southport

For recognizing me with

this honour, I feel flattered

to be included

Hey, Dan

Hey, Dad

You're a hard man to

get a hold of lately

What are you doing here?

What is this about,

Frank?

I'm just trying to talk

to my son

Ten o'clock at night?

It's not your business

Frank, do you really

think

That showing up here

drunk in front of your son

What is that supposed

to make him want to spend

more time around you?

Are you crazy

Frank?

What are you doing ?

Screw you, Patterson !

Just because this

a**hole's got some money

to spread around you don't

give a sh*t who he is !

Dad why don't you

just go home?

Dad you dropped

your wallet

Dad wait up

Sorry Danny I shouldn't

have come here

You dropped your wallet

That's not my wallet, Dan

Dad, you have to stop

making trouble for him

So, Dad, please

just lay off, okay?

How are you?

What do you want?

Nothing much

Just five bucks

You wouldn't happen to

have $5 you could lend

your old step dad

would you, Dan ?

No

You don't?

Maybe we should

check your wallet

Where's your wallet,

Danny?

I don't know

You don't know?

Don't you think you

should probably

start looking for it?

I really hope you didn't

lose that, Dan

Start looking for it

I didn't tell him

anything, Rick

Maybe you think I've

just been fooling around

with you

is that it, Danny?

All I did was say I was

sorry for not being home-

Bullshit !

I swear to God,

that's all I said

You're a little f***ing

liar, aren't you, Danny?

I'm telling the truth, Rick

I hope so

Does Ray Coleman

sound familiar to you?

Ray Coleman ? That name

doesn't sound familiar

Would you check your

register ?

Because my sister's

really worried about him

Here we go, Ray Coleman

Checked in on

September the 8th

and checked out on -

check the 18th

Yeah, October 18th

How about a telephone

number, address?

I could check his bill

Yeah, yeah

Here we go, C, Coleman

These are just the

local calls

What's this?

Pizza Hut

How about this?

He called this a lot

Yeah, he liked the ladies

You patty?

Who are you?

A friend of Ray's

Ray?

Coleman

That sh*t owes me money

Join the club

Can I talk to you?

I didn't know Ray that

well, we were just

killing time

You know how it is

Yeah, I can't believe

this guy

He never even told you

where he was from?

No

What did you guys

talk about?

We didn't do that

much talking

We weren't doing that

We were watching TV

I don't know what Ray

likes better

to screw or

watch basketball

At least he gave me this

I know that lighter

Let me see

Oh, yeah

It was my birthday a

couple of weeks ago

I like this lighter

It's not even real

Yeah, but I like the

horseshoe thing

Buy it from you

How much ?

I don't know, it's a

pretty nice lighter

$25

Cool

If you can just have this

dusted for prints

I'm sure we'll find that

this Ray Coleman's

got a record

And if he does

then we know that Rick Barnes

will have one, too

A lot of people have

handled this lighter

The lab could

only manage

to lift off one

clean set of prints

It turns out they belong

to a convicted felon

Her name is Patty Walsh

Prostitution, Drug use

Hey, Frank

I'm glad I ran into you

About last night, we

both got a little bit hot
