-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.
1:14:01
That's my daughter.
1:14:07
Or it may be the police to
tell me they've found her dead.

1:14:10
She's a drug addict.
1:14:13
Why are you telling me this?
1:14:17
Why am l telling you this?
1:14:25
Because we've all
lost our children.

1:14:31
They're dead to us.
1:14:35
They're killing each other
in the streets.

1:14:40
They wander, comatose...
shopping malls.

1:14:49
Something terrible has happened.
lt's taken our children away.

1:14:55
lt's too late.
1:14:59
They're gone.
