Harry's Law (2011–2012): Season 1, Episode 6 - Bangers in the House - full transcript

Previously on Harry's Law...

So this is what you do?!

I break up with you
and you commit...

I don't even know what
this is you're committing.

I switched jobs.

Go get your real job back

before it's too late.

This is my real job.

I'm Tommy Jefferson, kid.

I chew lawyers up
and spit 'em out.

He's gonna treat you
like you don't exist.



Your best bet is just
interrupt him at every turn.

He's got a temper and he's been known
to completely blow.

You little snot!

Don't call me little!

You were rude to me.

You ridiculed me.

Nobody does that,

you're nothing little bug.

Will you represent me?

I'm facing prison.
I got arrested on

a drug charge...
third offense...

and, uh,
I got a cocaine problem.

Your old life
was that of a drug addict.

You have to turn your
back on that, all of it.



If you need to talk to us,
we're all here.

She's really working
in that neighborhood?

Police don't really respond

to alarms
in this neighborhood.

The merchants tend to be
burglarized and vandalized

at an alarming rate.

You protect me and my place,

my law firm will defend you
for free.

I think I became terminal
in my late 40s.

Nothing the doctors could find,

you couldn't see it
on an X-ray.

But I was dying.

Being put to death quietly,
systemically,

by routine.

I finally died last year.

You need to close up shop
for a couple days.

What? Why?

Couple of local gangs
are beefin' with each other,

know what I'm saying?

Might be some bullets flying

and it'd be better
if y'all weren't around.

Shooting?
Like, at us?

What gangs?

Linkwood Crew's one,
Boone Park's the other.

Well, what is this beef about?

What the hell is going on here?

Told you all I know, sugar.

Well, who told you?

See, it's like this.

See, Dewayne, he runs
with Linkwood crew.

Got this girl named
Shonda, they broke up.

So Dewayne finds out that
Shonda's hanging with C.K.

C.K., he runs with my boys.

That's Boone Park?
Yeah.

So Dewayne, he goes
and get his boys

and they go and torch
C.K.'s ride.

C.K. was, like,
"Man, I'm gonna need
12 grand for that."

Dewayne be, like, "No."

So now Linkwood is
beefing with us.

It's gonna get bad.

Is Dewayne going to hurt Shonda?

Naw, he don't give a...
Naw, he got a new girl.

Ain't even about the girl
no more.

It's about respect.

I gotta go.
Thanks for the ice cream.

It's true, you really
got him into college?

I did not.

He got into college
himself.

Uh-huh.

So two gangs have a ridiculous

minor property dispute
like this one,

they start shooting?

Not always.

They got this thing here
called street advocates.

They try to fix situations
like this.

There was a street
advocate assigned

to this area,
but he dead now.

Did they kill him?

Allergy. Man ate a bad peanut.

But dead is dead, you
know what I'm sayin'?

So we, like,
between mediators.

All right.

As of right now,
they have a new mediator... me.

I don't think
they gonna go for that.

Well, you don't know
till you ask them.

Naw, see, some things you do
know before you ask.

Well, put it to them like this:

I'm gonna be sitting in front
of my store window

with my .44 in my lap.

If someone starts shooting
at anybody,

I'll consider it
directed at me.

I'm gonna shoot back.

So these beefing gangsters
are gonna get

their asses shot up,

or they're gonna murder
an old white lady

with lots of friends
in the criminal justice system,

friends who will insist on the
death penalty for the shooter

and his accomplices because
I am one adorable mother...

Harry!

Wait. No.

No!

No, no, no, no, no, no. No!

You wanted a number,
I gave it to you.

$626,000.

That's my number.

Saw that. Unacceptable.

Do you mind telling me
how you got to that figure?

I got it due
to lost wages,

loss of future earnings,

pain and suffering,
emotional distress,

loss of consortium.

Many things go into
a Tommy Jefferson number.

Loss of consortium?

He's depressed.
Affects his love life.

Look...
No, you look.

I asked you to look first.

Your client wrongfully
terminated mine.

That's a fact.
That's a given.

That's a reality.

One which you're not gonna
change by bringing in rude boy.

Think I don't know
why you recruited him?

I know why. You brought him in
to push my button.

Nobody pushes my button.

I don't even have a button.

$626,000. That's my number.

Your client made
$81,000 a year.

He's 72 years old.

There's no way that lost wages

together with loss of future
earnings will ever, ever reach

the present-day value

of that number
you're throwing out.

Your client fired
an old man

for being old.

The jury will hate that.

They will punish him,
you know it,

I know it, so does the bug.

There's no wand
to wave,

no button to push,
no card

to play.

You have a dog case.

Your client's worst
nightmare would be for

a jury to get its hands on this.
Ask the bug.

- Tommy...
- Don't flirt with me.

You want to flirt with me,
do it in a bar.

Do it in a hotel lounge.

Do it on my boat,

but not in a settlement
conference.

$627,000.

Oh, it's 27 now.

Surcharge for bringing in
a bug.

I tack on for bugs.

I saw that. Unacceptable.

$340,000.
That's our final offer.

Hmm.

Let the nightmare begin.

I think you're gonna have

to eat this one, Adam.

I'd cut your losses now
and get out.

You done for the day?

No, trial starts
this afternoon.

You the Jew?

What did you just say?

Hey, "Jew" is a slang.
It just means "lawyer."

Oh.

Yes, I would be the Jew.

I'm the Jew.

All right, cool.

8:00, here.

Fine.

By the way,

no guns.

Everyone will be frisked
at the door.

I think I sold that
old lady some weed.

What?

See? They're getting along
better already.

Harry, the people
that'll be here tonight,

a few of 'em,
maybe all of 'em,

have killed people.

Then I better
do a good job.

8:00.

Bangers in the house.

I don't like
that she brought in that bug.

It's not that
he threatens me,

it's that she would think
I have a button,

that he would know
how to push it.

I don't like that.

Tommy Jefferson
has no Achilles' heel.

Tommy, you're
personalizing.

You don't do well when
you personalize, do you?

Look at me.
What did we say

on the ride over?

I would be Tommy Big-Boy today.

The facts of this case
sit with us.

Just keep your focus.

Look, would you like me to try
to rattle him?

I don't care about him,
he's a bug.

Rattle her.

- Tommy...
- I'm attracted to you.

I just thought we should
put that on the table.

It'll have no bearing
on the case, but in the spirit

of full disclosure, certain
types leave me damp; you're it.

My client's willing to
come up to $410,000.

Wow. That's a little harder
to say no to.

No.

Well, he was honest about it,

Ill give him that.

What exactly did he say?

He said he was scaling down
the operation,

he needed to let
some people go.

He said, "Gerald,
you've run your race.

"You need to let the younger
employees run theirs."

Did he fault your job
performance?

Just the opposite.
He said I was exemplary.

That's what you said, Allan.

Exemplary.

So basically,

he fired you
for no good reason.

Awful, must have been wrenching.

You're damn right
it was wrenching.

46 years I was there.
It was my whole life.

And I get kicked to the curb
'cause I'm too old.

It's not right.

No, it isn't.
It's horribly wrong.

First of all, I am sorry.

I remember when my grandfather
lost his job.

Perhaps you could write

about it in your book.

I was...

You're living on a fixed income.

What do you have,
Social Security?

I get Social Security, yes.

- A pension?
- That doesn't mean

he can fire me
for being too old.

I understand that, sir.

I'm just trying to get
a sense of the hardship.

Do you have a pension?

- Yes.
- How much do you

get from your Social Security
and your pension?

I get about $2,200 a month.

Is that the extent
of your income?

This is not just about income,
young lady.

I understand.

Do you have other income?

I get some stock dividends.

Worth about how much?

Oh, it works out to about
$8,000 a year.

Okay, so that's about $35,000
all in.

And forgive my intrusion, but do
you have a savings account?

This isn't about money.

You've sued for lost wages
and future earnings,

and yet you testify
this isn't about money...

Objection. Of course this is
partly about money, but..

I'm talking to him now.

I'd be happy
to get a drink with you later.

Good, can I come?

Yes, let's all have a party

after the trial, but for now,

let's just get
through this.

May I be heard, Your Honor?

Sir, when you're sitting
in that witness chair,

it's all about you being heard.

I have suffered economic loss.

But more than the money,
my life

was about waking up
and going to work.

A man needs a purpose.

- And by purpose...
- I'm not finished.

I gave my life to this company.

I worked hard for a fair wage.

This job, it... it's all I had.

I sit here now with nothing
but time on my hands.

What am I supposed to do?

Where am I supposed to go?

Are we good?

Good.

Harry.

You didn't have
to bring out a gun.

Come on, calm down.

Thank you.

Any more outbursts,
you'll hear more of that.

All right, so...

who's who?

Boone Park is
on that side.

Li'l D will
speak for them.

Linkwood's on that side.
Keshawn will speak for them.

And the two guys
who are having the dispute?

It's Dewayne from Linkwood.
Dewayne.

And C.K. with Boone Park.

Got it.

And it's C.K.'s car
that was damaged?

Damaged? You tripping.

That ride was done.
Yo, watch your mouth, man.

He lucky he wasn't in it,
you feel me?

What you say, son?

Guys, guys, come on,
we here to talk.

We didn't come here to fight.
Calm down!

It broke my heart
to fire Gerald.

He's been a valued,
loyal employee.

My father hired him.

He began mowing grass,
landscaping.

Worked his way
into accounting

and sales.

And he was good.

But...?

But I had to trim
my workforce.

- I was hemorrhaging money.
- And the trimming you did

- involved your older employees?
- Yes, but what it really came down to

was economic need.

The young guys
and women had families.

Tuition to swing,
mouths to feed.

They were scraping just to avoid
getting foreclosed on.

Gerald owns
his home outright.

He has a great pension,
stock dividends.

Bottom line, he was better able
to absorb being laid off,

at least financially.

Did you ever consider
the difficulty

for a 72-year-old to reenter
the labor force?

I did consider that.

What about
our State budget mess?

Think we should start brooming
the older judges?

- Oh, come on.
- Did you consider the psychological damage

it might cause Mr. Essex
to be put out of work?

- I know it had to be tough.
- You know how?

You read about it?

You consulted psychologists?

I don't have to consult
with anybody

to know this was going
to be difficult.

Gerald has
financial security,

- which most of my employees don't...
- Not my question.

What, if you don't like
my question, you're going

- to answer one of your own?
- Objection.

Mr. Jefferson.

You say you considered need
in deciding who to fire.

Did you consider fairness?

Basic fairness?

Like if a man gives
46 years of his life,

if he's loyal,
if he works hard

every damn day, that
doesn't count?

That doesn't count?

Of course it counts.

You had 11 employees who had
worked for you under a year.

You kept them, but this man you
fired... because he's old.

You think I want
to be losing money?

Do you think I want
to be firing people? I had to.

We all have to make sacrifices,
for God's sake.

And you decided
to sacrifice

the employee
who had given you the most?

Look, man, your boy's
out of line, and you know it.

He wasn't out of nothing. You don't
even care about that girl.

That don't matter if I was
done with her or not.

= Hold on, nobody talks unless...
- What I'm saying is...

- Quiet.
- I'm making a point!

I said shut your mouth.

Harry, take it
down a notch.

This is the only notch I know.

Let's continue,
one person at a time.

My point be this... if anybody
be out of order it's this punk

when he decided

to torch C.K.'s car.

My turn?

Go.

Here's what it is.

It's about respect,
you feel me?

He knew he should
have stuck to Shonda,

but he did it anyway.

He hood rich.
Peeling off stacks.

- Trying to front...
- Time out.

I know you all have
your own jargon,

but I don't talk
legalese to you,

so please don't speak
gangster-ese to me.

Harry, all he said was...

What he said he can say
in plain English.

That is plain English.

You don't understand
what I'm saying...

That was plain enough.
If you don't understand...

Hold up.

You're going to bust an eardrum
with that thing. Put it down.

Give us a minute.

You need to lighten
up a little.

No, I need to be able to
understand what they're saying.

Ask me and I'll tell you.

Check this out. We come
to an agreement on something.

This here's
not gonna work.

What?

At least not with you.
You're out.

What do you mean I'm out?

You're a terrible
mediator, lady.

You're out. He's in.

- What?!
- What?

Look, you just don't
get it, lady.

We think maybe he does.

- I'm the mediator.
- No, you're not.

We'll be back
tomorrow 8:00 a.m.

Be ready.

Do not scream.

You hear me?
I'm not going to hurt you.

I just need you
to listen to me.

Do not bite me. I don't like when
people bite me either.

I ain't gonna rob you
or nothing, I promise.

I just need to talk to you.

That is not the way to
initiate a conversation.

Sorry. I heard you pack.

I want to get out
of Boone Park.

I want to go to college
like that Malcolm kid.

I told you,
I didn't get him...

It's not about that.

I just need you
to help me get out.

Well, what's the big deal?

Just say you're out.

In which case,
they'll kill me.

Oh, come on.

You're the mediator.

I just need you
to help me get out.

Actually, I'm no longer...

They'd really kill you?

Lady, read my lips...
they... will... kill... me.

No, no, no, no, no!

Calm down.
No!

Harry, you cannot do this.

Getting someone
out of a gang,

that is way, way
over your head.

You cannot.

First of all, they
probably would kill him.

It's definitely
a possibility.

- I cannot believe...
- Believe it.

My brother was in a gang.

He wanted to get out. He...

If you try to do this,

then you can forget about us
mediating the other thing.

'Cause our trust,
our credibility...

Helping kids leave gangs
is something mediators do.

The ones with experience, maybe.

And most of them,
ex-gang members themselves.

This is way beyond
the expertise

of a patent lawyer.

Just handle the dispute

we got on the table, please?

Hello.

Welcome, welcome.

I took the liberty of
making little name tags

to make things
a little easier.

Little D.
That's for you.

You're not little.

Funny.

C.K. That's for you.

Dewayne, here you...

No? Okay.

Keshawn.

Maybe we should
bump up the offer.

The client refuses.

Rachel, we're getting
a little thrashed here.

Not to criticize, but you didn't
exactly rattle Tommy much.

You're blaming me?

No. I just...

Look, it's not over.

Our client is sympathetic.
It's just the plaintiff is...

Is way so more.

If we close well,
we are still in it.

How's Chunhua doing?

Better. A lot
better actually.

Thanks for loaning
out Thomas.

It's the least I can do

after you've helped
so much with this case.

I'm kidding.

Seriously, do you
have any ideas?

Well, Tommy's done a good job
of framing the question,

why him just because he's old.

We need the
question to be,

why does he get tenure
just because he's old.

Okay, so I think I've got
the basics of the situation.

Dewayne, how long you
and Shonda going out?

I don't know, man...

a few months,
something like that.

When'd you break up?

Little, bro, I don't really
know all these damn dates.

It was a while ago.

Besides, bottom line,

he don't get her.

No matter what...

So you set fire to his car.

Whatever.

Okay. C.K.,

there's sort of an unwritten
rule about dating ex-girlfriends

from another
gang, right?

Yeah.

$12,000 for your car?
How you get that number?

It's what I paid.

That's because
you were suckered.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Put it down.

Not now, bro.

Harry, put yours down.

Not until...

Put it down now.

Now you.

Give it to me.

Give it to me!

Give it to me.

Come on, let's go!

What's up?!

Anybody else got a gun?

Do something!

Has anybody else got a gun?

Ten seconds immunity.

'Cause if I find otherwise,
you won't like my ruling.

Ten seconds.

All right.

A one hour cooldown,
then we continue.

We don't need an hour.

Maybe I do.

Kid, you better make this work.

'Cause if not,
there's gonna be blood.

And it's gonna be on your hands.

You understand?

I just came from
the CIRV offices.

You know
CIRV, right?

Yeah, yeah, Cincinnati
Initiative to Reduce whatever.

I heard of it.

Well, they pretty much
echoed what Malcolm told me,

that this is way
over my head.

Lewis, they can
provide protection.

They have experienced
people who can mentor...

I came to you.

Got a feeling about you.

Why does everybody
get feelings about me?

Look, Lewis,

they have a lot of
reformed gang members

who can help
the transition.

They're good at this,

I'm not.

I'm not going to CIRV.

Well, I can't help you.

Do you want me to end up dead?

Lewis, I cannot
help you.

C.K.,

how did you start
going out with Shonda?

Why that matter to you?

'Cause it does.

From the beginning.

Look, man, I don't
really remember, I just...

Refresh your
recollection, then.

Well, I saw her one day
coming out this store.

And I thought,

you know, she'd be cool
to hang out with.

So that's it, we started
kicking it, no big deal.

I mean, I ain't want no drama,

so I told her
how it is, you know.

I told her
where I was coming from.

I told that girl exactly
where she fit in, in my life.

She was cool with it.

That's it.

I ain't mean no disrespect.

So there was no call
to go and torch that man's ride.

Not your turn.

Is that it?

C.K.?

We all know the story.

Lifeboat starts
to take on water.

Someone has the idea,

"Hey, let's throw out
all the old people."

That's exactly
what happened here.

Never mind the years
of service, loyalty.

"We want youth; you're out."

It's disgusting
how we treat our elderly.

As far as
television networks go,

if you're over 49 years of age,
you're dead.

You don't exist.

It's unfair, it's... indecent.

And what's worse, ageism
in this country is tolerated.

Giggled at, even.

Make fun of the old.

Why not?

Discriminate, go ahead.
Who cares?

Imagine if we did that
with racism,

or sexism,
or all the other "isms."

But ageism,
knock yourself out.

Gerald Essex

gave Meade Landscaping
and Design 46 years of his life.

He deserved better than to be
fired because of his age.

There was no suggestion here

that he could
no longer do the job.

Just the opposite.
He was exemplary.

But old. And we don't
like old, do we?

I asked the defendant,
and he was stuck for an answer:

where does that fall
on the fairness graph?

I'll ask the same question
of you.

Might also throw in
the two questions Gerald asked.

What is he supposed to do?

Where is he supposed to go?

I actually like old.

I'd tell you about
my grandfather, but I've been

instructed by the court
to put that in my book.

That lifeboat analogy.

If you remember the story, the
elderly were tossed overboard

in order to save people.

Mr. Jefferson
left that part out.

My client had a bunch
of drowning employees

who would have lost their homes
if they were put out of work.

Some wouldn't even be able
to feed their families.

So he chose to spare
those workers and let go of

the employees who were
financially secure,

employees like Mr. Essex,

who had savings,
who had Social Security,

who had pensions,

employees who owned
their homes outright.

Employees who, yes,
happened to be older.

Mr. Essex deserved better,
of course he did.

So do a lot of people
in this economy.

Let's not get carried away
with this ageism nonsense.

The over-50 demographic...

they might be dead
to the networks,

but otherwise
they're not doing so bad.

They control over
eight trillion in assets,

more than 70%
of discretionary income.

They make up 82% of Congress,
100% of Supreme Court,

80% of CEOs.

They basically control
government, the economy.

In short, old people rule.

If one group is getting
especially slammed,

it is the young.

For kids coming
out of college today,

it is a labor market depression.

They have to go back
to living with their parents

because there are
simply no jobs.

So let's put Mr. Jefferson's
outrage in perspective here.

As for this fairness graph,

let's say you had to let go of
one of two employees;

one wouldn't face
any real financial hardship,

for the other,
it would be catastrophic.

What would you do?

That was the choice
facing Allan Meade.

He chose to inflict
less hardship.

We should punish him for that?

Really?

Any idea
what you're going to do?

I got an idea, but...

My advice?

Nope.

I can't believe you
got me into this.

You're going to get me killed,
I hope you're happy.

I'm never happy.

Was your brother killed
trying to get out of a gang?

No. He was shot three times.

So he was meant to be killed.

No, if they wanted to kill him,

they would've killed him.

Malcolm,

look at me.

My father...

it should be said he was drunk
at the time, but still...

he once said to me

"there comes a time in
every man's life when he stops

letting life just happen to him,
and he starts happening to it."

I have no idea what that means.

You just look them in the eye,
every last single one of them,

and you tell them
what your ruling is.

Not everybody can be
as brave as you, okay?

You think I'm brave?

Malcolm, I got thrown out
on my ass by my law firm

at the age of 61.

I suddenly find myself

old, fat, alone, unemployed,

now practicing law
in a shoe store.

That isn't brave,
it's desperate.

Most people my age,
they resign themselves to just

projecting their hopes
and dreams onto their kids.

Well, I don't have any kids,
so I can't even do that.

No grandchildren to bounce on...

I got a friggin' shoe store
in a ghetto.

But I'll tell you this.

I do get to project
a little hope and a few dreams.

I do it with you.

You'd be surprised

at how much hope
I project your way, Malcolm.

You're an awesome kid.

Now, I'm not your mother.

But I'm nevertheless
going to say something to you

that every parent says to
his or her child at some point.

Don't let me down.

Or else.

'Cause they may kill me, too.

I was bad.

Tommy, you weren't bad.

Yes, I was.

I was bad, bad, bad.

You weren't.

But she was better.

I don't like it when
people are better.

Nobody gets to be better
than Tommy Jefferson.

You're not acting like
Tommy Big-Boy now, are you?

You're pouting.

Because she was better.

You both were good.

That's not what I want to hear.

Everything was going so well.

I don't understand.

Look, she's a good lawyer.
We knew that.

She must be a lesbian.

- Excuse me?
- You bolstered her

by flirting with her.

That's what you did.

Made her much better.

I saw that.

I don't do well
against lesbians.

You made her better.

Okay.

C.K. claims Dewayne owes him
$12,000 for destroying his car.

Dewayne says his actions
were justified

because C.K. broke the code

by dating
his ex-girlfriend Shonda.

C.K., Blue Book value
puts your car at 8,000.

I tricked it out.

It don't matter.

The mediator finds
in favor of Dewayne.

Ha-ha!

Yeah, that's what
I'm talking about!

I ain't done.

The mediator also finds

that Dewayne has no claim
whatsoever on Shonda.

Dewayne,
you and Shonda are done.

She want to be with C.K.,

she going to be with
C.K., that's it.

No, that's not it.

Some codes don't get broken.

Not by him and not by you,
you understand?

I think you need to understand;
that's my ruling.

It's either this
or no ruling,

and I'm done.

There's any blood,
it's on your hands.

You got that? All you want
is not to pay the money.

You don't care about the girl,
he does.

This works.

The mediator
has made his ruling.

We all cool?

We cool.

Whatever, man.

Yeah.

Cool.

Then we're adjourned.

One second.

As you all made it so clear,

I'm just the little old
white lady who doesn't get it.

Harry...

And I don't.

I'll admit that.

Why you choose
the life of gangs.

Perhaps it chooses you.

Maybe there's no choice
involved at all,

it's just a reality that...

But here another reality.

Five, ten years down the road,
you people,

every single one of you, will
either be dead or in prison.

Dead or in prison.

You all cool with that?

You can't be
that stupid.

I know getting out of a gang
is difficult.

But if any of you
should choose to do so,

I would hope the rest of you,
as betrayed as you may feel,

would respect that decision.

And if any of you want out,
my door is open to help you.

That's a promise
I'll make right now.

And here's another one.

If I hear that anybody tries
to get out and ends up dead,

I will hunt the responsible
person or persons down

like a mad dog.

Now we're adjourned.

You made an offer... I'm accepting.

What's the big deal?

You rejected that offer.

I'm talking to her, bug.

You never took it
off the table. Bug.

I'm officially
accepting now.

It's officially
off the table.

Now, if you want
a hundred...

What? Bug.

That's insulting,
a hundred.

Mr. Jefferson, you want
to take your seat now?

No, Your Honor.

300... as low as I'll go.

Let me rephrase.
Take your seat.

Final chance.

Pass.

Mr. Foreman, has the jury

reached a verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

What say you?

In the matter of

Essex v. Meade Landscaping
and Design,

on the question of liability,

we find in favor
of the plaintiff.

Of course you do.

Tommy Jay, Tommy Jay.
Nobody like me.

And on the question of damages,

we order the defendant
to pay the plaintiff $75.

What?

Did he say $75?
Tommy Big-Boy.

Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury...

75 bucks? That's it?

It's a victory; you're
still undefeated.

Big-Boy. Big-Big-Boy now.

75 bucks?

Essentially, the jury said

it was wrong of you to fire him
because of his age,

but they understood
why you did it.

Shall I pay him now?
'Cause I have $75 on me.

I'd wait on that.

Okay.
Listen, hey, thank you.

- Mm-hmm.
- Thank you both.

Our pleasure.

Thanks.

Oh, you won it, Rachel.

Oh, I know, but still.
You wanted to be useful;

it's the thought that counts.

I called, you came. Thanks.

Not happy.

No.

Seventy-five dollars?

According to Adam,
Tommy is furious.

Adam is back to being

a rude little bug.

Of course he is.

This one was
a paying client though, Harry.

We actually get money for this.

Harry.

What?

What?

Lewis?

Who is it?

It's me.

Harry Korn.

Oh, thank you.

I-I don't know how to...
thank you.

Are you being sarcastic?

No.

They just beat me.

I got off light.

They just beat me out,
that's all.

I'll be fine.

Had to be 'cause of
what you said.

Lewis...

Because of me opening my mouth,

they-they must have
figured out...

Yeah, I know.

But they also heard you.

I'm alive, right?

I'm...

I'm gonna go to college,
just like Malcolm.

I don't know what else to say.

Neither do I.

Lewis, I am so very sorry.

You really don't get it, do you?

I probably owe you my life.

No.

I don't get it at all.

The thing about routine,

life can come back.
