:36:03
But for the protection
of other innocent children.

:36:08
l'm not just here
to speak for your anger,

:36:12
but for the future as well.
:36:23
Are you expensive?
:36:34
lf you agree to have me
represent you in this suit,

:36:38
l will require no payment
until the case is won,

:36:41
when l will require
1/3 of the awarded amount.

:36:46
lf no award is made,
then my services to you...

:36:48
will cost you
absolutely nothing.

:36:51
That's the standard agreement.
:36:52
Do you have
this agreement with you?

:36:55
Yes, l do. lt's in my car.
:37:01
l won't be a minute.
:37:03
ln any case,
you should have time...

:37:07
to discuss this without me
before you make a decision.

:37:23
l did everything a loving father
of a drug addict...

:37:25
is supposed to do.
:37:27
l sent her to the best
hospitals, the best doctors.

:37:31
Two weeks later,
she'd be out on the street.

:37:33
The next time l saw her would be
a phone call for money:

:37:37
money for school, money
for some new kind of therapist,

:37:41
money for a plane ticket home.
:37:43
''Oh, Daddy,
please let me come home.

:37:45
''l need to see you.''
:37:46
But she never came home.
:37:49
l was always at the airport,
but she was never there.

:37:55
Had 10 years of this,
10 years of lies.

:37:59
Wondering what would happen
if l didn't send the money.
