(gentle instrumental music) - You ready? - [Red] I can almost
smell that money. - I know. I can smell it good. We're gonna be rich. (laughing) (upbeat instrumental music) (radio crackling) (brakes squeaking) (car engine running) - [Red] Where's this dude? (laughing) - Way to take a punch. You can't even handle
a dang 12 year old? - What, you think that's funny? - Yeah, ow. What's wrong with you? Stop. - [Red] Stop. - [Charlene] Seriously? - [Red] Come on, man. - I hate to interrupt
you two lovebirds, but I'm here to do
a little business. - All right then, let's
do a little business. In the trunk, it's in the trunk. Watch yourself. (metal thudding) (insects chirping) (gentle instrumental music) You got my money, big boy? - [Man] Yeah, there you go. - Oh, thank you. Oh, that's heavy, isn't it? - [Man] One more thing. - Oh, boy. - You're under arrest, sunshine. (dramatic instrumental music) - Oh, hey, hey, hey. Oh, come on, man. Under arrest for what? Wait, are you a cop, man? You don't look like a cop. I want to get some mag wheels. That's all I'm selling. That's all that's in
there is mag wheels. What? - Everything you say can and will be held against you, so you might wanna
hold that thought. - No, he drug me in on it. He forced me into it. I had nothing to do with this. (mumbling) - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm down, calm down, calm down. You're safe. It's okay, man. It's okay. Put that down. Let me take that from you. Whoa, whoa, calm down. - Stop, get off me. - It's okay, son. You're safe. You're safe. - [Charlene] Baby,
it's Red's fault. It's all his fault. I'm sorry, okay? I promise. - [Red] Get off. - Dillan, you can come out now. - [Red] Come on. - [Jack] It's okay. - [Charlene] Nice. - [Red] I didn't know nothing about no kids in my trunk. - Oh, really? - [Red] Yeah. - Oh, nice. - [Red] This was all
your mama's idea. - [Man] Oh, hey, hey, hey. - Just calm down. Calm down, buddy. Hey, hey, hey-- - [Red] Let him at me. He just wants a hug-- - Listen, listen, you got to be strong for your little
brother, now, okay? - Leave us alone. We're fine. (gentle instrumental music) - Dillan, baby
boy, I'm so sorry. You know this wasn't
mommy's fault, okay? Come here, come here. - Mom. - No, no, Dillan. She's not our mom anymore. - You know what? Nobody loves you, all right? You're white trash. This is all your fault. You're supposed to protect me. It's all your fault. This is your fault-- - Trafficking your own children? I've seen it all now. - God only knows what'll
happen to those kids. (gentle instrumental music) (mumbling) - I realize it's serious. I just don't want to overreact. - You weren't there. - He was defending his brother. That's honorable. - Where'd he learn
to fight like that? - He's been fighting to
survive his whole life. Maybe his dad taught him. He was a Marine, remember? Listen, those boys
were being bullies. All he did was give them a
taste of their own medicine. - Oh, okay, Rambo. Look, Dillan really
needs us, but Jack? I think he's dangerous, and I don't know if
I can handle him. - Dear God, thank
you for this day. Thank you that we're here. - Who are you talking to? - I'm not talking. I'm praying. (whispering) - Since when do you
know how to pray? - Mr. Robinson's showing me how. In Jesus' name, amen. (metal clicking) (gentle instrumental music) Jack? - Yeah? - [Dillan] I really
like it here. (dog barking) - That's good, bud. (metal rattling) Jack Stone. - [Woman] If you'd
like to have a seat, we'll call you when we're ready. - [Jack] Okay, thank you. (upbeat instrumental music) - How hard will you work for us? - No one will outwork me. I worked 60 hours a week all three years I
was in law school. I would truly appreciate
the opportunity to work-- - Very touching, very touching, but what I see is
a grease monkey in a second hand suit
from the wrong side of the wrong side of the tracks. We're looking for an associate
with connections, son. We're not looking
for a charity case. - I'm not charity. I'm looking for an
opportunity, sir. - White trash, trailer park. - Top of your class, editor of the Law Review, you published three articles, and you clerked
for Judge Farmer. This is all very
impressive, Mr. Stone. - Yeah, look. - Thank you, sir. - Everybody looks good on
paper, young man, okay? Now you tell me now
why I should hire you, or are you just wasting my time? - In 10 years, I'm gonna
be the top trial lawyer in the country. - F. Lee Bailey, Jr., huh? - You have a choice. In 10 years, you can
either have my name on your building or
the embarrassment of knowing that you didn't
seize this opportunity today. - What opportunity? Young man, this
magazine just named us the fifth most powerful
law firm in the country. You're out of your league, son. - First of all,
I'm not your son. It's either Jack or Mr. Stone, but never son, and second (paper tearing) everyone looks
good on paper, Max, so you tell me, why
should I work for you? (gentle instrumental music) Or am I just wasting my time on a has been firm that's
clearly proud of fifth place? - Listen, Jack, was it? You can't talk to
my father that way. - I'm afraid he just did. - Well, where are you going? I didn't say that
we were through. - To my second interview
with your competition. - Who's that? - I don't kiss and tell, but U.S. News ranked them first. Thank you for your time. - All right, just a minute, what if we wanted
you on our team? - My contact information's
on my resume. - And do you have another
resume, Mr. Stone? - Yes, yes, I do. - Peter, follow him. Don't let him
leave the building. Tell him we're offering
$150,000 starting salary plus performance bonuses. - Go, go. (phone ringing) - You did this. - He'll be back. - You're gonna need some tape. (gentle instrumental music) - Hey, Jack, how'd
your interview go? - Awesome, hired at
Franklin and Steele. - Oh. - Oh, living the American dream. - Yeah, I don't see God
anywhere on this list, but you done good. - Oh, hold on. "In God we trust." - Let me see your list. (phone ringing) - Oh boy, here we go, Brian's writing. There we go. - Know what that is? It says, "What does
it profit a man "if he gains the whole
world and loses his soul?" You ever think about that? What would a man
exchange for his soul? I'm just saying, man. You got a great list. You're doing good. You've done good, but none of those things
are gonna mean nothing if you don't include God. - Sign right here. You need to stop
getting in car accidents just to come see me. (laughing) - Bye. - Take care. What are you doing? Are you hiding, bro? Her name's Molly. - [Jack] Who? - She does marketing, works late at the coffee
shop on east side. - What are you, her agent? - Oh, and she's single. I'm Jorge Amor, the Latin cupid. - Oh, okay, Cupid, hey, man, go put some love into
that '56 Ford over there. We need to get that finished. - Go get her, tiger. - Nah, man-- - [Jorge] Come on. - Nah, man, she's not my type. - You're right. She's way too smart
and beautiful for you. - Good point. I'm gonna call your sister. - You're lucky this
engine block's right here. (car engine running) Can I help you? - No thanks, Pedro, just looking for a piece of white
trash named Jack Stone. - You better watch
yourself, man. You don't want to do that. - I got this. What do you want, Peter? - You better keep your
Mexican on a leash. I just came here
to let you know, just give you some advice, 'cause I know you're new
at this lawyer thing, not sleeping in a garage. Do you sleep here, by the way? See, you're not gonna last a
week at Franklin and Steele. Just better keep your
wrenches polished. You're gonna need them. - Yeah, that's a good idea. (spitting) Yeah, this one was dirty. Man, I appreciate that advice, Peter, but you need to apologize to my friend, Jorge. He's real sensitive. - Really, apologize to Pedro? All right, here's my apology. (grunting) - All right, here we go. Here we go. Now why don't you
apologize to Jorge? (coughing) Apologize. - I'm sorry, Jorge. - That was weak. - Yeah, that was weak. I wasn't feeling that one. - I wasn't feeling
that one either. - All right, let's
try that again. - I'm sorry, Jorge. - That was a lot better-- - Was that better? - Yeah. - He can do it again. - I felt like he meant that one. - Okay, okay. I'm gonna let you go, and then we can pretend this whole thing never
happened, all right? - Okay, Jack. - Is that all right? - Swell. - Okay. All right. - Just watch your back. You're gonna pay dearly. - All right, we'll
see you at the office. (car engine running) Tell Daddy I said hello. - Adios. He's gonna pay for
some new tires. - Yeah, bro. He needs to pay for
some anger management. (birds chirping) (car engine running) (metal thudding) I don't have time for this. Molly? - I'm sorry. Do I know you? - Girls use that line
on me all the time, so you're in trouble
already, miss. - Oh no, what have I done? - That's right. You don't want to mess up a
once in a lifetime opportunity. I'm Jack, Jack Stone,
Brian's Garage? - Oh, Jack, yeah, I'm Molly. As much as I'd love
to hear about this once in a lifetime
opportunity, I can't. I need to get my car fixed. Do you know anything about cars? - Just a little bit, so what's wrong with your car? - Well, it's either
my catalytic converter or the spark plugs or
maybe my alternator. - Is this an eight
cylinder or a six cylinder? - This model is a six cylinder. - It's four cylinder. Tell you what, I'll
make you a deal. I'll fix your car, but you've got to let me
take you out Friday night. - Four cylinder, what if I say no? - Then I'll still
fix your battery, but that'll mean I'll
just be on my way. - It's not my battery. - Of course not. Do you have any jumper cables? - It's not my battery. - I'll take you to dinner, then whatever you want to do. - I'll think about it. - You think about it, Molly. I'm gonna grab my jumper cables. - It's not my battery. - So what are you afraid of? - I do not want to mess this up. I really like this girl. - Have no fears. Jorge Amor is here. You need to express to her how much you love your family. Women love men who
love their families. I'm speaking from
experience here. - Yeah, but you and Brian
are the only family I have. - Yeah, but you love
us, though, right? - To death. - Jack, my cousin's
hooking us up to his five stars restaurant, candlelight, music, a booth. - A booth? - And a multi-cultural surprise. - Multi-cultural surprise? - It's gonna be a night
you'll never forget. ♪ Aye, aye, aye, aye ♪ ♪ Adios, my love ♪ ♪ I'll always be true ♪ ♪ I will miss you so ♪ (speaking in a foreign language) (mumbling) - Was he speaking Chinese? - Yes. - I thought this was
a Mexican restaurant. - Multi-cultural, there's a lot of cultures
represented here. - This has been a
very exciting evening. I feel like I have
been talking all night. You haven't told
me much about you. - Tell her you love your family. - Well, I'm big on family, like my mom. She's like my best friend. (gentle instrumental music) - Your mom's your best friend? - Uh huh. - You either have
serious issues, or that is the worst line
that anyone's ever used on me. - [Jack] Look, I
love my mom, okay? - Miss, you are a
very lucky woman. Mr. Stone here, he's
very good to his women. - Women, plural? (speaking in a foreign language) Oh, so you're a player? - No, no, no, look-- - Miss, see, he plays
very hard for the heart. - Okay, stop, stop. Just stop. Molly, I am not a player. This is Jorge, my best friend, and he's trying to help. - Oh, so you two
know each other? - [Jack] Yeah. - I would have never guessed. - Ms. Molly, please
go easy on Jack. He's only had like three dates, and he always blows it-- - [Jack] Okay, Jorge, please-- - And he really likes you. - Is that true, Jack? - Please give him a chance. - I do really like you. I just don't know
what I'm doing, so-- - Just be yourself. Be real, and this date
might just have a chance, and so you're a momma's boy. I can live with that. - My mom isn't actually
my best friend. Jorge and Brian, you
know Brian's Garage? They're my real family, so do I get like
a free pass or-- - I'll let this one slide, but that's your only free pass
for the rest of our lives. - Rest of our lives? So you're asking
me out again, huh? - Yes, one condition. - What's that? - You'll have to
sing me a love song. - You like us sing again? We sing again for you. (mumbling) ♪ Aye, aye, aye, aye ♪ ♪ Adios, my love ♪ ♪ I always be true ♪ (gentle instrumental music) (humming) (yelling) - Oh, I didn't expect
you home this soon. - Baby, are you
trying to seduce me? - Very funny. I never know when you're
gonna be home any more. I never see you ever. I know work's important, but I feel abandoned, and if you think we can
keep going like this, well, guess what? - Can I guess tomorrow? - No, we're gonna talk
about this right now. - I haven't slept in forever, and this brief, it's
due in six hours. If you don't let
me get some sleep, I'm gonna have to put
you out of the house. - Oh, you're gonna put
me out of the house? I would love to see that. You wouldn't dare. (upbeat instrumental music) - You're welcome. - [Molly] Oh, big man. Tarzan put Jane in yard. - [Jack] Yup. - So what? Am I suppose to be embarrassed? Oh, I love it out here. I could stay out
here all night long. (alarm ringing) Oh, hey, Peggy. - [Peggy] Are you okay? - Yeah, everything's fine. - [Peggy] You're scaring Poochy. - Oh, no, it's fine. Have a good walk. Jack, Jack, you're a dead man. Jack, let me back in this
house right this second. You're disturbing the
whole neighborhood. - Are you gonna let
me get some sleep? - Yes, I promise. Just let me back in please. - [Jack] Tell me you love me. - What? - [Jack] Tell me you love me, and I'll let you in. - I love you. - I don't believe you. Say it with passion,
and I'll let you in. - Jack, I love you. - I'm gonna pay for this. Hey. - Hey. (gentle instrumental music) - Molly? Molly? Can you come here
for a second please? What is this? "Start a family?" - Can't you read, Counselor? - Are you? Are we? - No, not yet, but
I've been thinking. It's kind of quiet around
here with just the two of us. What do you think? - I think it's gonna
be a lot of work, but I'm willing to
make the sacrifice. - You're a true
martyr, Jack Stone. - Hey, hey. - Hi, Molly, hi, Jack. Unfortunately, I've
got some bad news. You're not gonna be
able to conceive. - Are you saying
it's impossible? - No, nothing's impossible. I'm just saying given
Molly's circumstances, it's gonna be
extremely unlikely. - Well, we know
there's other options. There's got to be other options, in vitro. - In vitro fertilization? No, I'm afraid not. (gentle instrumental music) - Jack, I want to go home. - Sure, yeah, okay. - I'm gonna leave you guys
for a few minutes, okay? I'll be back. (birds chirping) - Hello? Oh, well, Jack, caught you
before you could escape. - Hello, Rebecca. - You are all dressed
for church, I see. - Working on my first big case. I have to be in court tomorrow. - Oh, all work and no pray
makes Jack a dull boy. - Did you really just say that? - I did. - You two have a nice chat? - Terrific. - Well, I will let Reverend
Jones know that you said hello. - Great, and if you
could have him preach that sermon on not
judging others, that would be awesome. - Oh, but you wouldn't
be there to hear it. - No, but you would. - Guess I just walked
right into that one. - Yes, you did. - He's under a lot of pressure. - Yeah, well, he needs
to have more time in his life for God. How'd that missionary dating
thing work out for you? - Look, we're married now. - You're right, sorry. - So how'd the
date go with Tony? Oh, let me guess. You canceled? Another great guy, and you didn't even
give him a chance. - He wasn't really my type. - Oh, I hope these
cupcakes are low fat because I feel like I've
been eternally pregnant and gained so much
weight this time. (mumbling) - That's exactly what we
were just talking about. You've gained so much weight you're up to at least
a size one right now. (laughing) - You're a regular
baby boy factory. At this rate you could
start your own team. - That's a good idea. - Don't worry. All Bob has to do
is breathe on you, and you'll get pregnant again. I'm sure you'll have
a girl eventually 'cause I know you
really want one. - I hope so. - Well, personally, I think
it's all the chemicals in the food nowadays, that
it's taking their toll. - I just think if
it's meant to be, it's meant to be. It'll happen. Just let nature take its course. It's working well for me so far. I'm on a roll here. (laughing) All right, who's next? (gentle instrumental music) - It's just not fair. - I know. - I thought I was
meant to have a baby. I know I was. I just don't get it. - I know. I'm sorry. You know what? You heard what
they said in there. You just have to go
on vacation, do yoga, and have Jack breathe on you. That's all. Look, we'll still
pray about it, okay? Okay, I love you. - I love you too. (gentle instrumental music) (wood knocking) - Hey. - Hey. - [Jack] So you heard
about the huge verdict? - I did, congratulations. - Thank you. I'm excited. Is that for me? - It is. - Wow, that was quick. All right, what do we have here? (gentle instrumental music) Toothbrush? Where's the brush part? - It's a pregnancy test, Jack. - Are you pregnant? - We're gonna have a baby. - [Jack] Are you serious? - We did it. - Wow. - I'm taking you out of
this office to celebrate. - Wow. - No excuses. - Wow. - We're not naming him Rambo. - Why not? Rambo is a great name. He's tough. He's built. - You have to admit, though,
God answered our prayers. (insects chirping) What? - Your prayers were answered. - Why can't you have faith? - There's too much, too much evil in this world
for there to be a God. - Well, you believe in evil, then you must believe in good. - Sure. - Well, if you believe
in good and evil, then there must be a moral law that separates good
and evil, right? - That makes sense. - And if there's a moral law, then there must be a
moral law giver, right? - That's a great argument. I'm gonns send you to law school so you can be my law partner. I'm gonna work you too. I'm gonna work you-- - [Molly] You always joke. - I'm not gonna give
you any special favors. - [Molly] Jack. - What? I'm sorry, Molly. I just don't share your faith. How do you even know we're
gonna be good parents? - What do you mean? We're gonna be great parents. - How do you know? - I'm meant to be a mom. What are you so scared of? - I'm not scared. What if I'm not a good father? What if I mess up
this kid's life? (baby cooing) - He has your eyes. - [Jack] He's got my nose too. - Oh, he's got my mustache. (mumbling) (gentle instrumental music) - Oh, I'm exhausted. - We're so proud
of you, big guy. - All that work I did. - All that work you've done, all the pain you've
been through, you should just
take it easy, bro. - Oh, I'm trying. - I booked a week for you at
the spa to help you recover. - This natural childbirth, I won't do it again. - Sure, your little
lady helped a little. - A little, huh? - Is there anything else we
can do for you, bro, anything? - I will baby sit
anytime you want. - We need to get it in contract that I'm the primary babysitter. - Have you seen
his refrigerator? You have month old
milk sitting in there-- - Like you don't like coming
over and having tacos. - Hey, I like your couch, and that's just about it. It's a nice sectional couch. Jack, I think this
is the only thing you've ever done right. - Aw. (mumbling) - [Jorge] You gonna
take that from her? (mumbling) - And we pray these things
in Jesus' name, amen. - Amen. - Well, hey, guys, good to be back together
today for our round table. - Well, I'm gonna start. My question is, what
happens if we get rejected? I mean, think about it, man. I use to get tore up, all right? I mean, people know that. I feel like a hypocrite. - Yeah, yeah, I hear you. I do too, and I bet every
guy at this table feels the same way, right? You know, we've
all made mistakes. We've all had failures. We fall down. That's the bottom line, right? But when you fall down, you got to get back
up by God's grace, accept his grace, his love, and move forward, man, and part of loving people is
having tough conversations, and I know that could
lead to rejection in a serious way, but it's worth it, man. We've got to press through
the fear of rejection and love people and be honest. - I just don't want to
hurt anybody anymore. I don't want to disappoint Jack. (wood knocking) (insects chirping) - Brian? - Hey, Jack, how's
fatherhood treating you? - Good so far. I just, wow. Come on in. - All right. Oh, that's bad. You still have that list, the one you used to keep
pinned up on the wall? - Yeah. - Yeah? I bet you got a lot of
stuff crossed off it by now. - I still got a
lot I want to do. - Living the dream, huh? - I guess I am. - Still something missing. I can see it in your eyes. - Did you come here to help me celebrate the birth of my son or to save my soul? - When your son grows up and he finds himself in
a dangerous situation, are you just gonna stand around on the front porch and just watch it happen? Okay, I can't do that either. - I lead a good life. I work hard. I love my wife. I give plenty of
money to charity. I plan on being a
really good father. - Look, those things
are wonderful. - If it's so wonderful, then how come you can't
just be happy for me? - I am happy for you, Jack. - Say you're proud of me, and if you're leading such
a godly life yourself, how come I saw your
truck at the liquor store just three months ago? - I fell off the
wagon for a second, but I've been back on
ever since that time-- - Look, look, look, look, stop. Before you come waltzing in here telling me how to live my life, how about you clean
up your own first? I seem to recall that you wasted quite a few years
as a drunk, Brian. - Yeah, I wasted a lot of, you're wasting your whole life, and you don't even see it. - Are you finished? - Finished? You didn't even
let me start, Jack. Thanks for the coffee. - Brian, Brian, wait. (gentle instrumental music) Look, I know what
you're trying to do, but I'm fine. I really am. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have
said what I did. I've been at the hospital
the last couple days, man. I'm just exhausted, all right? - Hey, hey, no
apologies needed, okay? It's my fault. Fell off the wagon for a second. I've been drying out. Part of me just thought
I could help you too, so I'm sorry, okay? But I am gonna keep
praying for you, okay? - Don't need it, but you take care of
yourself there, big guy. - Hold on. Before I forget, I got
something for your little guy. - Ah. - For the kid. - Don't be a
stranger, all right? (birds chirping) (mumbling) All right, but I'm gonna put a little something extra on it. You ready? Woo. - All right, you two. - Did you see that fancy move? - One more kick, please. - No deal, mister. You said that 20 minutes ago. (mumbling) All right, let's go. - All right, we
better get going. We don't wanna get the boss mad. - Can you read to
me after my bath? - Can I read to you
after your bath? Sorry, buddy, Daddy's
got to work, okay? But Mommy will read to you. - But she doesn't make the
funny voices like you do. - Daddy loves you. You know that? You are one special dude. Listen, it's a tough
world out there, okay? I got your back,
and you got mine. That's a guys code, all right? I love you. Just hear me out. - Hear what? Danakin Laboratories is
a $16 billion company. Do you have any idea what it is you're gonna be
going up against? - Yes, I know exactly what
I'll be going up against. - What? - Goliath, but their
drug killed Susan Harris, a mother, and orphaned
her son Christopher. (phone ringing) Look, as long as we can get in front of a jury, we'll win. - I don't understand
why we're talking about this thing again. The last time we took
a case like this, we got hammered. - No, no, wait, Max. Jack might have a point. You really think
you can win this? - I know I can. - Would you be willing
to bet your job on it? - Yes, and I'll help out with the expenses
out of my salary. - Are you serious? - Yes, sir. I'm very serious. - Well, if you're willing to put that much on the line, I have to warn you. If you thought you had
no life before now, a case like this consumes
everything you have. - Fine, but Peter rides
shotgun on this one. (gentle instrumental music) - And you wanted milk, right? Okay, do you want to pray? - [Ethan] No, you can. - Okay. God, we thank you so
much for this food, and we ask you to
bless it to our body. In Jesus' name, amen. Fork, oh. - Whoa, what's
this big boy doing? How you doing, huh? - Good. - He's gonna be a
track star some day. - Looks more like a
running back to me. - [Man] Ms. Bole. - How you doing? - [Christopher] Good. - Good? It's a tough world
out there, bud. Look at me. I'm gonna take
care of you, okay? All right. - I think it's time to go. - All right, you hear that? Susan Harris took medicine that was supposed to be safe and make her better. Instead, it killed her, making her son
Christopher an orphan. Danakin Laboratories,
in their rush to put a product on the market that would raise their profits, took this little boy's
mother away from him, and now he has no one, no one, except you. (insects chirping) - Jack, I can't keep doing this. - It's only another
couple weeks. - You've been saying
that for years. - Sweetheart, when
this case is over, they're gonna make me partner. This is the case of a lifetime-- - Ethan and I don't need
you to make partner. We need you to be home. - Hey, bud, what you working on? - Hold on. - [Jack] What are you writing? - I can't show it to you yet. - Oh, gimme a hint. - Nope. - Okay, Secretive Sam, it's time for you to get
ready for school, okay? - Dad, you're gonna win. I know it. I've been praying
really hard for you. - Praying for me? How do you know
God's on my side? - Because you're
fighting for Christopher. He's an orphan. Jesus says we're supposed
to look after the orphans. - All right, get up
here on this chair. Easy, look at me. Listen, when this trial is over, I'm gonna be able to
spend a lot more time with you guys, okay? Things are gonna change. - Do you really
mean it this time? - Yes, I promise. Come here. Okay, all right, we've
got to get ready. You got to go to school. Grab your book. All right, we got to
get your shoes too. Okay, come on. - What happened to
Ms. Harris was tragic, but unrelated to
her use of Dantenal. - Dr. Mast, admit, you were not adequately
qualified to research and test the safety
of this drug. - Objection, your honor. Dr. Mast's qualifications
have already been established. - Your honor, I intend to prove that Dr. Mast's lack
of ability, skill, expertise, or whatever adjective you wish to describe it, killed Susan Harris. - Overruled. Go ahead and answer. - Since graduating from Yale with a PhD in Bioscience, which is my third PhD, I've published seven books
on bioscience research and drug development, am invited to speak regularly at biomedical conferences
around the world, and most significantly, I have developed
16 drug patents, drugs which are currently
on the market saving lives. I am widely recognized
as the preeminent scholar in the U.S. on drug research
and development, Mr. Stone. My record is flawless,
perfect, impeccable, or whatever adjective you would
like to use to describe it. In fact, I am willing
to put my credentials on the line against
anyone in this field. - I apologize, Dr. Mast. As the preeminent
scholar in your field, it's absolutely clear you don't let anything by you. - Absolutely not. - Which is why
it's understandable that when you discovered
the side effect that killed Susan Harris, Danakin Labs wanted to rush
the drug to market anyway. (gentle instrumental music) I just don't understand. Whose decision was it to
try and hide the report? Who buried your
research, Dr. Mast? Who buried this report? - I don't know who. - Your honor, we
need a quick recess. - After the witness
is done testifying. - I know you did your job because that's what you do. No one's better
than you, Dr. Mast, but it's also your
biggest weakness. No one's better than you, and Susan Harris is dead, so who buried your report? Everyone in this court
room wants to know. Christopher Harris, Christopher Harris
deserves to know, so who buried your report? Who buried your
report, Dr. Mast? - Bernard Pauling. - Excuse me? - Your honor. - Louder, please. - Bernard Pauling. Bernard Pauling forced
me to bury the report, and then he told
me to keep quiet. - Your honor. - [Mast] They threatened
my family and my career. - Your honor, she doesn't know
what she's talking about-- - Please, your
honor, I have proof, but I need protection. - [Woman] There's
no grounds for this. - Order. I want order in this court. Silence. This court is in recess
for one hour, and Counsel, I suggest you confer with
the other side on this one. - Our client is
prepared to settle. We know we can
work it out, Jack. Just hear us out. - All we wanted
was for your client to pull the drug off the
shelf and make it safe and set up a modest
trust for Christopher. They refused to do that. - Name your price. Give us a number, but Danakin insists on
a gag order, no press. We settle behind closed doors, everything confidential. - Give Christopher
Harris his mother back. - Give us a real offer, Jack. - [Jack] That's our final offer. (dramatic instrumental music) - Are you crazy? - It works in the movies. Today, Christopher
Harris is an orphan, and so I ask you, what are you gonna do about it? - [Woman] Mr. Stone, Mr. Stone. (mumbling) - Mr. Stone, congratulations on the record setting
verdict, $200 million, so how does that feel? - It feels surreal. - Mr. Stone, Mr.
Stone, one question, there's been a lot of talk about your final closing
thoughts being controversial. Did you find them controversial? - Controversial? I mean, I just spoke
from the heart, so if you'll excuse me-- - [Group] Mr. Stone, Mr. Stone-- - I need to get back
to my wife and son. I just hope they
still recognize me. (laughing) Peter Franklin, my associate, will take over from here. He did a great job on the case. He can answer whatever
questions you have. - Mr. Franklin. (mumbling) - [Woman] How long did
you prepare for this case? - I'd rather not go into that. I'd just like to talk about how successful
Steele and Franklin has been these last few years-- - They say it couldn't be done. - [Woman] Mr. Franklin-- - The phone has not
stopped ringing all day. - How does it feel to be
married to a rock star? - I wouldn't know. I'm just kidding. I am very proud of you. - Daddy, Daddy, Dad, can we go to the park and play? - Dinner's almost ready. - Please? - All right, boys, but if
you're not back in an hour, you're eating cold lasagna. Oh, coats. Have fun. - Come on, bud. Oh, hold on. Hold on. All right, let's go, so what are we playing today? - [Ethan] Probably football-- - Football with a soccer ball. (gentle instrumental music) (dog barking) Hey, hey, bud, let's wait
till we get to the park to kick the ball, okay? All right, come here. Guess you were right. - Huh? - You said you knew
I was gonna win. (phone ringing) Hey, where you going? Ethan, come here. Let me see that. (electronic beeping) You turned it off? That might've been important. - [Ethan] Not more
important than me. (electricity crackling) (dramatic instrumental music) (water pouring) - It'll be okay. Little Ethan, he's
in heaven now, man, and you should trust that God-- - Shut up. - Trust God-- - Shut up, Jorge. I find out who did this to him, (birds chirping) I'm gonna to kill them. (gentle instrumental music) (rain pouring) Molly, what are you doing? Where are you going? - I'm going to my sister's. I can't stay here. - What do you mean
you can't stay here? - Do you even know what
position he played? - What? - Your son, Ethan, what position he played
on his soccer team? - Goalie. - No, striker, he switched
to striker a month ago. Do you know why he switched? - No. - He wanted to score
a goal for his daddy. That's why. He wanted to make
his daddy proud, (zipper whirring) and how in the world
could his precious father ever see him score a goal if he never came to
any of his games? - You know I wanted to. - That's not enough. Don't you get that? You were never there, never. (gentle instrumental music) You always had one more case, a special case, a big case, and you, the absent father, you were the one
that got to hold him. You were the one that was there. I didn't even get
to say goodbye. - Molly, Molly-- - No, don't do that. Just let me go. We are not a family. Our son is dead. He's gone. Besides, you haven't been
a part of this family in a very long time. - [Jack] Molly. - [Molly] Please
get out of my way. (birds chirping) (phone vibrating) (mumbling) - What's going on? - Sit down, Jack. Let me first say that
I know this comes at an incredibly
bad time for you. - We're letting you go. - What? - [Franklin]
Effective immediately. - Why? - The circumstances
dictate that the firm distance itself from you. - You tried to
influence the jury. They're reversing the verdict. You tried to influence the jury while the trial was going on. - [Jack] I did not try
to influence the jury-- - Stop lying. Stop lying-- - [Jack] Only in the courtroom. - They've got the texts from
your cell phone to prove it. - I did not text the jurors
outside the courtroom. I did not text. - The Georgia Bar is
opening an investigation. - I did not text
from my cell phone. I don't know what you
are talking about. I won that trial
fair and square. Why would I do that? You had my cell phone. - [Franklin] Security. - Jack, Jack, Jack. - [Man] Security. - You did. - [Peter] Someone
get him off of me. - Get off me. Get off me. Get off me. - [Peter] Just quit
struggling, man. - [Franklin] Get
him out of here. - It was you, Peter. You had my phone. You had my phone. - Get him out of here. - [Jack] Why would you do it? Admit it. - Wait a second. He said you had his phone. What are you talking-- - I didn't have his phone-- - Wait a second. - I didn't have his phone. - We'll discuss this later. (mumbling) (birds chirping) - Molly, I understand
you're upset but-- - Jack, I can't. I need some time for me. - I need you. - There's nothing left. - I'll take what's left. I just want to-- - I can't. When I see you, I see Ethan, and I can't see anything. Goodbye, Jack. - Molly, wait. Molly, wait, please. Just say something. Yell, do something. - Let me ask you a question. Was it your fault? Tell me the truth. - Please don't do this. - I need to know. Was it your fault? Jack, I need to know. - Yes, yes, it was. - You should've lied. (grunting) (dramatic instrumental music) (metal thudding) - [Jack] Must be my birthday. - Jack, we have some
business to take care of. - Yeah? You should have
brought some fighters, not the cheerleaders. - He's all yours, boys. (grunting and mumbling) - [Man] I got this. (mumbling) - [Man] Uh oh, he's
in trouble now. (mumbling) (grunting) (yelling) - Get him up. Jack, you're white trash. - Your breath stinks, and you hit like my grandma. (grunting) (dramatic instrumental music) Ethan. (gentle instrumental music) - When you're on vacation, make sure you read
chapters 17 and 18 in your English, okay, Trevor? Thank you, bye. Have fun. (mumbling) Well, look who
finally needs my help. - Try not to gloat too much. - I'm not gloating. Okay, I'm gloating. - Molly might not
think so right now, but she needs me. We need each other. I love her, Rebecca. - I know you do. - I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say
to her to get through. - I'll talk to her. I don't know if it'll do
much good, but I'll try. Ah, ah, not so fast
there, big guy. In exchange for my help, I need something from you. We need help with
the children over at the group homes that
the church sponsors. - I don't think I'm
cut out for that, especially given
my track record. - They're orphans, Jack. They don't care what you've done or what you haven't done. They just need
someone to show up and make a little effort. - I wouldn't even
know where to begin. - Just read to them. You did read books
in law school, right? So I will talk to Molly, and you will hang
out with the kids. That's the deal. - Deal. - Jack, still gloating. (birds chirping) Hey, I know our
church dresses casual, but you might wanna rethink
those pajama shorts. - I'm not going. - Look, I know this is hard, but sitting around the
house isn't gonna help. - I can't. I can't go. I can't face things. - Face what? So you're just
gonna turn your back on anything that was
ever good in your life? First, Jack, now God, oh, am I next? - Jack? So now you're taking his side. You didn't even like him. You hated Jack. - Hate is a strong word. - This is perfect timing. Are you gonna kick me out and let Jack move in now
that you're on his side? - Okay, let's hop off
the Nonsense Train
here for a minute. I am taking your side. You just can't see it right now. I think you're
making a huge mistake turning away from God and Jack. - The way I remember, they turned their
back on me first. - That's not true,
and you know it. - No, Rebecca, I do. How can a God who's
supposed to love and protect let this happen? He took my son. Why? Why? - I don't know. I don't know, but you're asking
the wrong person. - I know you're trying to help, but I'm not going to church, not today, maybe not ever, and Jack, I can't talk. I can't think about Jack. I can't. - [Rebecca] Okay. - And where do you
get off preaching at me about cutting good
things out of my life? Every time a good
guy asks you out, you don't go, and then you sulk all weekend. You get depressed
because you're lonely. Why don't you get
your own life together and stop judging mine? - That was Jack. - Hey, buddy. - Oh. (laughing) My boys, my boys, so sorry, Jack. - Sorry for what? - I know things haven't
been easy for you. You always wanted
to do it alone. You always did. - Yeah, I was pretty stubborn. - You still haven't allowed
God in your life, Jack. I can see it in your eyes. Hey, I want to
show you something. Hey, hand me that
sweater over there. What's this look like to you? - That's the ugliest
sweater I've ever seen. - Hey, my Aunt
Belita knitted that. - It looks like
you knitted that. - Boys, boys, (laughing). Look, each and every
string represents a circumstance in our lives, like this one here. This could be the loss of a job, and this one is
the loss of a home. Maybe this one is
the birth of a child, or this one, the passing
away of a loved one. We think our lives
are just a bunch of mangled circumstances, but we only see
this side of life. We don't see what God is doing on the other side. (gentle instrumental music) Now, now what do you see? (insects chirping) - And he loved you. (liquid pouring) (glass knocking) ♪ Joy to the world ♪ ♪ The Lord has come ♪ ♪ Let earth receive her King ♪ ♪ Let every heart ♪ - Wait, wait, wait. Okay, I got it. I got it. Excuse me. ♪ And heaven and nature sing ♪ - [Jack] Excuse me. ♪ And heaven and nature sing ♪ (gentle instrumental music) ♪ Joy to the world ♪ ♪ The Lord has come ♪ ♪ Let earth receive her king ♪ - No, no, no, Mr. Stone. It's not Halloween. It's Christmas time. - [Group] Merry Christmas. - Yeah, that's what I meant. That's what I meant,
Merry Christmas. - [Group] Merry Christmas. - [Jack] Merry Christmas. (gentle instrumental music) (coughing) (electricity crackling) - [Ethan] Daddy, Daddy, Daddy. - Ethan? Ethan, where are you? - [Ethan] At the park
just practicing my moves. I've been waiting for you. - I had this horrible nightmare that something happened to you. - [Ethan] It's okay. I love you, and remember, Jesus
loves you even more. - Come back here, Ethan. Ethan. Please don't leave me again. (wood knocking) Ethan? You're not Ethan. - No, Jack, I'm not. - How do you know my name? - It's me, big brother. It's Dillan. - Dillan? - Yeah. - I couldn't find you. I looked everywhere. Where'd you go? - Jack, Jack, it's all right. It's all right. I got you. I got you. - Okay. I looked everywhere for you. You vanished. - Well, we moved to
a village in Africa and worked in an orphanage. - Oh, that's nice to know now. - We looked everywhere
for you, Jack. To the cops, you were
just another run away they didn't have time for. We thought you were dead. Where did you go? - I was around. - Around? Jack, the truth is I was mad, furious, actually,
that you abandoned me, but I forgave you. - You forgave me. - I just wanted
to see you again, and I read about your big
case on the internet and-- - You forgave me? You disappear, read
about me on the internet, and now you think
you know my life? What else do you think you know? - Now, I finally figured out what you did for us back then, and I appreciate it more
than you will ever know. What I'm really concerned with is what's going on in here. - Well, that's a long story. - I came a long way. It's been a long time,
so let's hear it. - Oh, so you're just
gonna swoop in here after all these years and pour little Jesus on me, just gonna make it
all better, huh? God doesn't care about me. God doesn't wanna talk to me. - That's a lie. That is a lie, Jack. God speaks to us every day. All we have to do is listen. - I don't think so. God does not talk to us. - He does, Jack. What is it? - Ethan. You said you knew
I was gonna win. (phone ringing) Hey, where you going? Ethan, come here. Let me see that. (electronic beeping) You turned it off? That might've been important. - Not more important than me. Daddy, come on. - Stay on the sidewalk, bud. (dramatic instrumental music) Ethan? Ethan, get out of the street. Ethan, Ethan, come here. Ethan. Help us. Somebody help. Ethan? - I love you, but Jesus
loves you even more. - Ethan, no. - It's okay. (crying) It's time, Jack. It's time for the orphan
to finally come home. You have a father
who's waiting for you. Jesus said, "Come to me all you "who are weary and heavy laden, "and I will give you rest." (metal rattling) These are for you. (gentle instrumental music) - God, I've done a lot of bad things, and I know there's a huge divide between you and me, but your book says
that Jesus paid for it. He paid for all of our wrongs on the cross
because he loved us. Forgive me. I surrender. Take this life. Fill me up with you. I'm just a white trash orphan. Please adopt me, God. Please adopt me. (water pouring) (razor whirring) Molly, I know you're in there. Please. (phone ringing) Give me just one minute, please. - Jack, leave me alone. - I have given my life to God, and it's changed everything. I know he has a plan. I'm not quite sure
what it is, but, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not
being a better husband. I'm sorry for being
a horrible father. Part of me is gone
because of Ethan. It's not coming back, but we can be together. We can be a family again. - I'm glad you've changed, Jack. - Molly, please,
just come out here and talk to me. I'll be at the park,
five o'clock every day. Come when you're ready to talk. I am not giving up on us, Molly. I'm not giving up on us, Molly. I'm not. I won't. I won't give up on us. (birds chirping) (metal thudding) (car engine running) - How about these three colors? Will they work? Perfect, thanks. (mumbling) Wow, I'd just about
given up on you holding up your end of the deal. - [Jack] A deal's a deal, right? - [Rebecca] What do you think? - I've never done
anything like this before, so I kind of don't know
what to expect, you know? - Yeah, how about you
start in the reading area? - [Jack] Okay. - Actually, there is someone
who has been asking for you. - Christopher? What? What's he doing here? - I don't know, but if
you hadn't shown up, deal or no deal, I would
have drug you here. - [Jack] I don't know
what I can do for him. I mean, the verdict
was overturned, and-- - He doesn't need
$200 million, Jack. He just needs someone
like you who he can trust. Are you comfortable filling
those shoes for now? - No, I'm not, but it's
what he needs that matters, not about me. Oh, Christopher. - [Rebecca] He's fast. - He's fast, boy. (laughing) Wow, you're getting big, oh. - Hey, Christopher, why
don't you show him your room? - You've got a room, huh? - [Christopher] I
got the bottom bunk. - You got the bottom bunk, oh. - [Rebecca] Thanks, Jack. - Hi. - [Rebecca] Hi. - Cute kid. - Sure is. - So have you broken
any laws lately that I should know about? - No, no. I'm sorry. I'm really busy. - That's fine. - Thanks. - Have a good day. - You too - Are you sure
you wanna do this? It's way below your pay grade. - I'm sure. A lawyer's got to do
lawyering, don't he? - I guess. All right, welcome
to Legal Aide. This is your office. If you need anything, I'm
right across the hall. - Thanks, Kathryn. (phone ringing) Hey, bro, what's going on? What? - Proverbs, (electronic beeping) Proverbs says there's a friend
that's closer than a brother. (mumbling) You're a good friend, Jack. You're a good friend, Jorge. You made a new friend. - Yes, I did. (laughing) - I knew it. I knew when you
walked in the room. You made it. Oh, you get it now? Now that you're on
the other side, Jack, you get it, what I've been saying? Oh, God. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of both of you. I love you like brothers. I do. I love you like brothers. - Gentlemen, I'm so sorry,
but you need to leave. We have to get Mr. Mullenax
prepped for surgery. (mumbling) - Jack, take that. Jorge, just take that. When life shows up three
o'clock in the afternoon and tries to knock
your lights out, just remember the strings. (gentle instrumental music) (phone ringing) (crying) - His heart couldn't take it. We did all we could. - I got to level
with you, Dillan. You know, I thought that
when you surrender to God, things are supposed
to get better, right? - Jack, the
Christian life is all about having a
relationship with God. It takes time. It isn't a drive through
window where we get to order what we want and expect
to get it right away. I mean, that's what got us
in trouble to begin with. - I got that. Man, I'm asking God
for good things. I want Molly back, and
I prayed for Brian. He's dead. He's gone. Molly wishes that
I was dead, so-- - Molly does not wish
that you were dead, Jack. - [Jack] I don't
know about that. - Just keep seeking God. - Let me guess. When one door closes,
another one opens. Dillan, if I hear
that one more time, I'm gonna shoot myself. What about the hell
that you go through when you're in the
hallway waiting for that next door to open? - Just go meet God every day, and make it your secret
place no matter where it is. Understand his word. Seek him out, and all those spaces, the hallway, the hell, fill those spaces with him, and he'll pull you through. I promise. (gentle instrumental music) - [Molly] Wait,
that's Jack's car. Now I know why you
asked me to help. You said that you were
going to stay out of it. - [Rebecca] I'm
staying out of it. Look, I just needed your
help unloading the car and-- - [Molly] What is he doing here? - [Rebecca] Does it matter? Look, you know what? Just stay in the car 'cause you might find
out that he's changed, and we both know that you
can't handle being wrong. - Rebecca. (metal thudding) - What are you doing? I thought you were
gonna stay in the car. - I'm not wrong about this. - You know, I know what I know, and I promised that
I'd stay out of it, so I'm staying out of it. - Well, I'd like to see what you getting
involved looks like. (laughing) - You're a big girl. Don't come. - [Child] That's funny. - [Child] I said I wanted to. - I hate you. - I know you do. I hate you more. - I don't think I can do this. - You know what? You can just stay in the car. It's fine. - Let's go. - No, please, please don't. Don't go in there. (mumbling) - I don't understand. It's just not the Jack I know. - [Rebecca] I know it. (mumbling) (birds chirping) - God, I don't know
what I'm doing. Please forgive me. It was easier to blame
you and Jack than to, it's just easier to be angry. You must have a purpose in this. I'm so tired of fighting, and I'm empty of
everything but pain. I can't do this
on my own anymore. I need you. Please help me see truth. Please help me trust you again. God, I need you. (wind blowing) - I've been waiting for you. - I'm sorry. Do I know you? - Girls use that line
on me all the time, so you're in trouble
already, miss. - Oh, no, what have I done? - That's right. You don't want to mess up a
once in a lifetime opportunity. - No, I don't. (gentle instrumental music) I feel like I'm
scared I already have. You've changed. God's changed you, and I let you down. I accused you and betrayed you when I should have comforted
you and fought for you. I'm so sorry. - I love you, Molly, and love does not
keep track of wrongs. I was wrong. I'm sorry. Do you forgive me? - I do. I know every day we will wake up and feel the loss of Ethan, but I want us to
be a family again. Ready, don't laugh. - I won't. I never laugh. Do you want me to
tune the guitar? - (laughing) Yeah.

rescue a very special person. - Those are legal documents. - I want to adopt. I want us to adopt Christopher. - Wow, I did not
see that coming. - I've been praying, and I feel that God
wants us to adopt-- - No, no, absolutely not. Rebecca still has to
clean Ethan's room because every time
I go in there, I lose it. Ethan can't be
replaced like that just because you
want a second chance. - Ethan can't be
replaced, Molly. I'm just trying to give
Christopher a home. - I can't handle it. He needs so much. It's too soon. - Look, we're not in this alone. God will give us the grace. - I'm not trying
to be heartless. I've seen you two together. It's very, very special, and I want you two to
have time together, a lot of time, but adoption, it's so permanent. - Permanent is exactly
what Christopher needs. Permanent's the point. I'm petitioning the court
to adopt Christopher, and I have to have you
on board with this. - I just can't. - Molly. - This is Sammy Vegas. Sammy, this is Jack Stone. He's one of the attorneys
here at Legal Aide. - Hey, Sammy, how are you? - [Kathryn] Thanks, Jacko. - Yeah, go ahead, so what can I do
for you, Mr. Vegas? - If I tell you what I did, you can't tell anybody, right? - That's right. We have attorney
client privilege. Whatever you say
stays between us. It goes with me to my grave. - When I got my license, I wanted to impress
some of my friends, and we went cruising, and we ended up getting lost in some neighborhood
by this park. It was just a little
park, and honestly, I was just trying to
get out of there, man. I was late for work, and ended up texting back and forth with
one of my friends who, he knew the area a little
better than we did. That's when I heard this noise, (gentle instrumental music) this terrible noise. It was a thud, and my friends just
started freaking out, you know, yelling, "Keep going. "Keep going," and I did. I panicked. I didn't stop. - Was this Hattaway Park off MacArthur Street? - Yes, sir, that's it. The worst part about it is that that little kid is dead. That little boy
died because of me. I killed him. I can't get it out of my head. I'm such a bad person. I just want to die. Did you hear about it? Did you know the boy? - Not as well as I should have. - You know, honestly, I
thought I could get over it, but I still have the
worst nightmares. I can't sleep. It's killing me. Please, Mr. Stone, anything you could do,
please just help me. Please just help me, anything. - Meet me at Hattaway Park, Friday morning, 10:00 A.M. Don't be late. - Does that mean you'll help me? - Just be there. (gentle instrumental music) - Molly, come here. There's something
you need to see. (birds chirping) (car engine running) (metal thudding) - What are we doing
here, Mr. Stone? Are you going to help me? - I don't know, Sammy. What are we doing here? - [Sammy] Listen, I just
don't like being here. It just brings it all back. Would the family of
this boy forgive me? I don't even know the boy. Would he forgive me? - His name was Ethan. He had these wild blue eyes, and his personality was
as big as his heart. - How do you know that? Was he your son? (dramatic instrumental music) Was he your son? - Yeah. - [Sammy] No, no, no, no. - Just listen. Just listen. I miss his warm little
hands on my neck, that soft pat on my back. He used to always ask me
to come play with him, and I said, later, later. I knew it was the last
time I was gonna hold him, (crying) and Ethan would be gone, and I realized later
would never come. - I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. It's my fault. It's my fault. I killed him. It's my fault. What are you gonna do to me? (gentle instrumental music) - Ethan's Christmas list, "Dear God, "for Christmas I want Jesus "to come into daddy's heart, "just like he did to mine. "Next, I want Daddy and Mommy "to love each other again. "I really want a little brother, "maybe one of the orphans
at Aunt Becca's home. "I know you can do this "because you can do anything. "Whatever it takes, God. "Love, Ethan. "P.S., can you
help me be the MVP "of my soccer team this year?" - Mr. Stone, I see
that you're here on a petition to adopt
Christopher Harris. - That's correct, your honor. - To be candid, Mr.
Stone, I'm very concerned. In fact, I'm inclined not
to grant this petition, but go ahead. Give me your side of it. - Your honor, as you may recall, I fought for Christopher Harris. In my closing argument, I asked the question. Today I invite you
to take a journey with me to the end of our lives. Now look back. If you're honest, you probably see quite a gap between what you wish
you would have done versus what you did, and that raw and
painful wave that rips through that gap is regret, the painful regret of
missed opportunity. We can't change the past. We can't do it, but today you have the
extraordinary opportunity to change someone's
life forever. You have the opportunity
to make a wrong right. Christopher Harris,
he's an orphan. He lost his brave
father in Afghanistan and his precious
mother to negligence. Who's gonna take care of him? Who's gonna rock him to sleep
when he has a nightmare? Who will to teach him
how to treat a lady? Who will show him how
to shoot a free throw? Who will teach Chris
how to be a man and walk him through
the trials of life? Today, Christopher
Harris is an orphan, and so I ask you, what are you gonna do about it? Your honor, we would like
to adopt Christopher Harris. - Mr. Stone, after
reviewing your file, it is a miracle you
survived childhood. Clearly you didn't have
a good example to follow. You were just cleared
by the Georgia Bar. You and your wife
have been separated. You lost your own son to what some would
argue negligence. You assaulted a co-worker. You've been fired. I have some very
serious concerns about your being fit
as a father right now. Unless you can
convince me otherwise, I am going to deny
this petition. - Judge, I understand, but all my life I
focused on surviving, on trying to fill this
huge void within me, and I made no place
for God in that void. On the outside, I was
living the American dream. The newspaper said I
was the American dream, but on the inside I was broken, broken without a
way to fix myself, but finally I surrendered, and God, with his
incredible love, he reached down and adopted me. I now have the perfect father, and he loves me with
an unconditional love, and his love, it
never, ever lets go. The Bible says that
God's unchanging plan has always been to
adopt us into his family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ, so the question then becomes, have we been adopted
into the family of God? I say that we have a
father who is waiting for us with open arms. He's longing for us to
come back to him today. Judge, I came home. We can all come home. If I may, your honor, I do have regrets. I do. We all have regrets. Maybe it's the dream we
chased or failed to chase. Maybe it's the love we
refused to receive or give. It's the hand that
we could have held. - Dad, let's go. - Later, bud,
Daddy's got to work. Or the pride we refused to tame. It's the forgiveness
we failed to give, and this is what haunts us. Your honor, if you're like me, there are nights
where you stay up and you ask yourself, "Have I made a difference? "Has my life made a difference?" If we invest in the
life of just one child, it's like a pebble is
dropped in the ocean. It creates a ripple, but God takes that ripple, and he builds it into
a massive tidal wave that affects every
generation into eternity, so what do we do? Judge, I choose to do something. We choose to do something. Christopher, he's not
the next guy's problem. He's not the system's problem. He's our extraordinary
opportunity to rescue a child. With God's help, I vow
on the record to love and care for him at all
cost, to give him hope, to be the permanent
difference in his life. Judge, please let us
adopt Christopher.
