:04:02
And that I'm capable of taking
care of him.
:04:05
What do you mean?
:04:09
I want my son.
:04:11
You can't have him.
:04:13
Don't get defensive. Don't bully me.
:04:15
I'm not getting defensive.
:04:17
Who walked out 15 months ago?
:04:19
I don't care. I'm still his mother.
:04:21
From 3000 miles away.
:04:22
Because you sent post cards gives
you the right to come back?
:04:26
I never stopped wanting him.
:04:28
What makes you sure he wants you?
:04:29
What makes you sure he doesn't?
:04:33
We're gonna sit here and
bat this back and forth.
:04:36
- It's like old times.
- You can't deny me...
:04:38
Don't tell me what I can or cannot do.
:04:41
- Don't talk to me that way.
- I anticipated this.
:04:45
Do what you have to.
I'll do what I have to.
:04:47
I'm sorry about this.
:04:49
Do what you have to do.
:04:58
I don't know the legal jargon for it,
but I think it's "desertion."
:05:02
I don't mean to tell you your job,
but I have an open-and-shut case.
:05:07
There's no such thing as an open-and-
shut case where custody is involved.
:05:12
I'll bet your ex-wife
has already found a lawyer...
:05:15
...who's advised her to move back
to establish residency.
:05:18
The burden is on us to prove
that your ex-wife is an unfit mother.
:05:22
That means I'll have to play rough.
If I play rough...
:05:26
...you can bet they will too.
Can you take that?
:05:29
Yes.
:05:31
And it's going to cost you $15,000.
:05:35
That's if we win.
:05:36
If we go to appeal,
it'll cost you more.
:05:40
I understand.
:05:42
Now, how old is the child again?
:05:45
My son is 7.
:05:46
- That's tough.
- Why?
:05:48
In cases involving a child that young,
the court tends to side with her.
:05:53
She signed over custody.
:05:54
I'm not saying we don't have a shot,
but it won't be easy.
:05:58
Do me a favor, will you?
