1:12:04
l'm here about your children,
Mr. Ansell.

1:12:07
-My name--
-l don't want to know your name.

1:12:10
l understand.
1:12:14
No, you don't.
Get the fuck away from the bus.

1:12:20
l can help you.
1:12:22
Not unless you can
raise the dead.

1:12:31
Here. You may change your mind.
1:12:39
Mitchell Stephens,
Esquire, tell me,

1:12:41
would you sue me
if l was to beat you right now?

1:12:45
l mean beat you so bad you'd
piss blood and couldn't walk.

1:12:49
That's what l'm about to do.
1:12:50
-l wouldn't sue you.
-You leave us alone.

1:12:57
You leave the people
of this town alone.

1:13:00
-You can't help.
-You can help each other.

1:13:05
Several people in the town...
1:13:07
have agreed to let me represent
them in a negligence suit.

1:13:10
Your case as an individual
will be stronger...

1:13:12
if l represent you as a group.
1:13:15
Case?
1:13:16
The Walkers have agreed,
and the Ottos have agreed...

1:13:18
Nicole Burnell's parents.
1:13:20
lt's important that we
initiate proceedings right away.

1:13:25
Things get covered up.
People lie.

1:13:28
That's why we must begin
our investigation quickly,

1:13:31
before the evidence disappears.
1:13:32
-That's what l'm doing--
-Listen.

1:13:33
l know Risa and Wendell Walker.
1:13:36
They wouldn't hire
a goddamn lawyer.

1:13:40
The Ottos,
they wouldn't deal with you.

1:13:42
We're not country bumpkins you
can put the big city hustle on.

1:13:45
You're angry, and you owe it
to yourself to feel that way.

1:13:49
All l'm saying is...
1:13:52
let me direct your rage.
