:22:03
No, you don't.
Get the fuck away from the bus.

:22:09
l can help you.
:22:11
Not unless you can
raise the dead.

:22:20
Here. You may change your mind.
:22:28
Mitchell Stephens,
Esquire, tell me,

:22:30
would you sue me
if l was to beat you right now?

:22:34
l mean beat you so bad you'd
piss blood and couldn't walk.

:22:38
That's what l'm about to do.
:22:39
-l wouldn't sue you.
-You leave us alone.

:22:46
You leave the people
of this town alone.

:22:49
-You can't help.
-You can help each other.

:22:54
Several people in the town...
:22:56
have agreed to let me represent
them in a negligence suit.

:22:59
Your case as an individual
will be stronger...

:23:02
if l represent you as a group.
:23:04
Case?
:23:05
The Walkers have agreed,
and the Ottos have agreed...

:23:07
Nicole Burnell's parents.
:23:10
lt's important that we
initiate proceedings right away.

:23:14
Things get covered up.
People lie.

:23:18
That's why we must begin
our investigation quickly,

:23:20
before the evidence disappears.
:23:22
-That's what l'm doing--
-Listen.

:23:23
l know Risa and Wendell Walker.
:23:26
They wouldn't hire
a goddamn lawyer.

:23:30
The Ottos,
they wouldn't deal with you.

:23:32
We're not country bumpkins you
can put the big city hustle on.

:23:35
You're angry, and you owe it
to yourself to feel that way.

:23:38
All l'm saying is...
:23:41
let me direct your rage.
:23:50
That's my daughter.
:23:56
Or it may be the police to
tell me they've found her dead.

:23:59
She's a drug addict.
