Crossroads

The Standoff On The Balcony

Mick is holding Nicole over the courts balcony, She closes her eyes tears streaming down as she fears for the worst.

Just as Mick is about to throw her over, Laura, Ellen and, The Crossroad Crew interfere the shine of the sun flashes in Mick's eyeglasses, With Mason trying to remind his father of their shared dream of fighting for the law as well as fighting for how to properly use the law to do what is right, In particular he displayed unbridled disgust at his father using the law as a tool to give the Walsh family a cash settlement when he knew for a fact the Jefferies family would go bankrupt as a result.

Mick replies that his duty lies in his client-the law is inperfect and he tries to justify what he has been doing by declaring himself, Ellen & Laura that imperfect system's "Humble servents".

Laura counters by claiming she was the system's servent and she followed that role as best as she could until Nicole's life went downhill due to the very system she obligated herself to serve, At which point she started being vocal for The Crossroads Program to happen to try to the best of her abilty to pervent history from repeating itself.

Dina stands by her mentor, Reminding Mick that he's only hurting Mason by enabling these sorts of acts to go on.

Mick stares in a moment of silence at his only son , Before letting Nicole go and allowing the trial to proceed.

The whole crew (now including Mick) reenter the courtroom ready to finish the trial.

Mick takes the stand ready to give his final statement to the jury.
