[00:03.18]Mrs. Tuohy?
[00:04.28]
[00:04.33]I hear "Mrs. Tuohy" I look over my shoulder for my mother-in-law.
[00:07.91]
[00:07.96]Call me Leigh Anne or Mama or almost anything else.
[00:11.41]
[00:14.15]-Can you help me get something? -What?
[00:17.15]
[00:19.49]Driver's licence.
[00:21.34]
[00:22.66]Why do you need a driver's licence
[00:24.88]
[00:24.88]When you don't even have a car?
[00:26.91]
[00:33.38]Michael, why do you want a driver's licence?
[00:36.48]
[00:36.66]Something to carry. With my name on it.
[00:39.63]
[00:46.49]There's nobody named Michael Oher in the system.
[00:49.38]
[00:49.43]Another last name perhaps?
[00:51.73]
[00:54.11]Look, I will sign something that says he lives with us
[00:56.93]
[00:56.98]And we'll pay for all the insurence;
[01:00.10]
[01:00.10]whatever it takes, okay?
[01:00.58]
[01:01.09]What's it gonna take?
[01:02.29]
[01:02.34]-You wanna do what?! -You heard me.
[01:05.14]
[01:05.31]Shouldn't we at least talk about this?
[01:07.09]
[01:07.09]What do you think we're doing?
[01:08.52]
[01:08.57]And don't act like I'm going behind your back.
[01:10.88]
[01:10.93]I know you put us down as
[01:12.98]
[01:12.98]Michael's medical contact at school.
[01:14.66]
[01:14.71]There's a huge difference between paying for broken arm
[01:17.80]
[01:17.85]And being legally responsible for someone.
[01:19.74]
[01:19.79]I mean the kid we barely know.
[01:21.74]
[01:21.79]That's another thing.
[01:23.28]
[01:23.28]We need to find out more about his past.
[01:25.08]
[01:25.13]He won't talk about it. He's like an onion,
[01:27.14]
[01:27.19]You have to peel him back a layer at a time.
[01:29.21]
[01:29.26]Not if you use a knife.
[01:31.41]
[01:32.39]What if we took him to a child psychologist or something?
[01:35.74]
[01:35.79]-Do you really expect Big Mike -"Michael"
[01:38.38]
[01:38.43]You really expect Michael to lie down
[01:40.07]
[01:40.07]On a couch and talk about his childhood
[01:41.80]
[01:41.85]Like he's Woody Allen or something?
[01:43.17]
[01:43.22]I mean, Michael's gift is his ability to forget.
[01:46.00]
[01:46.05]He's mad at no one and he really
[01:48.08]
[01:48.08]Didn't care what happened in the past.
[01:50.50]
[01:50.84]You're right.
[01:52.49]
[01:52.68]Excuse me?
[01:54.18]
[01:54.32]"You're right?"
[01:55.89]
[01:55.94]How'd those words taste coming out of your mouth?
[01:58.58]
[01:58.63]Like vinegar.
[02:00.28]
[02:08.98]At least promise me you'll think about it.
[02:11.74]
[02:11.79]Alright.
[02:13.29]
[02:14.34]"Alright" you'll think about it or
[02:16.28]
[02:16.28]"Alright" we should do it?
[02:17.68]
[02:17.73]Is there a difference?
[02:19.83]
[02:22.30]Just tell Gerald to hold on the
[02:24.22]
[02:24.22]Chiffonier and I'll get by after while.
[02:26.65]
[02:28.02]You don't... I got to call you back. Bye.
[02:30.97]
[02:33.65]Excuse me.
[02:35.15]
[02:36.69]I'm not cutting, I'm just asking.
[02:38.33]
[02:38.33]Let me tell you something, alright?
[02:40.08]
[02:40.13]We've been sitting around here for over an hour
[02:42.22]
[02:42.27]And when I look around and all I see
[02:44.03]
[02:44.08]Is people shooting the bull and drinking coffee.
[02:46.71]
[02:46.76]Who runs this place?
[02:48.76]
[02:51.46]Well, I'd have it in shape in two days,
[02:52.47]
[02:52.47]I can tell you that.
[02:53.88]
[02:53.93]I'd bet you would. How can I help you?
[02:55.96]
[02:56.01]-Oh, he was first. -No, you go ahead.
[02:58.20]
[02:58.25]-I think I want to hear this -Me too.
[03:00.67]
[03:00.72]I do not appreciate the attitude.
[03:02.39]
[03:02.44]Ma'am, now you can tell me what you want
[03:05.39]
[03:05.65]Or I'll make sure you wait all day.
[03:07.86]
[03:07.91]Now how can I help you?
[03:09.88]
[03:09.93]I'd like to become a legal guardian.
[03:11.97]
[03:12.02]Lord help that child.
[03:14.07]
[03:17.81]There's very little on Michael.
[03:20.49]
[03:20.49]Most of his files have been lost.
[03:22.01]
[03:22.37]-What is in there? -A few case notes.
[03:25.44]
[03:25.81]This one describes an incident where
[03:28.24]
[03:28.24]Officers forcibly removed Michael
[03:30.48]
[03:30.53]From Denise Oher's care when Michael was seven.
[03:33.36]
[03:33.41]Quite a scene evidently. They had to split up the kids.
[03:36.22]
[03:36.27]And it's far from the worst.
[03:37.74]
[03:37.79]Where is she? His mother?
[03:39.85]
[03:39.90]I don't know, if you find her
[03:42.49]
[03:42.49]Will got a bunch more files we could add to.
[03:44.35]
[03:45.40]How many kids does she have?
[03:47.56]
[03:47.56]At least a dozen, probably.
[03:48.77]
[03:48.82]If not more. With her drug arrest record
[03:51.19]
[03:51.24]My guess would be she can't even remember.
[03:53.89]
[03:54.30]May I see that?
[03:56.05]
[04:00.43]So we'd need her permission, right?
[04:03.06]
[04:03.11]No. Michael is a ward of the state.
[04:05.26]
[04:05.31]Just apply and get a judge to sign off on it.
[04:08.51]
[04:10.62]So you would just give him away
[04:13.54]
[04:13.55]Without even telling his mother?
[04:14.77]
[04:38.35]Mrs. Oher?
[04:39.80]
[04:43.25]Hi.
[04:44.74]
[04:44.83]Mrs. Oher?
[04:46.33]
[04:47.93]-You from the state? -No.
[04:50.25]
[04:51.40]My name is Leigh Anne Tuohy
[04:54.90]
[04:54.90]And your son Michael lives with me.
[04:57.01]
[04:58.45]And my family.
[05:00.15]
[00:04.28]
[00:04.33]I hear "Mrs. Tuohy" I look over my shoulder for my mother-in-law.

[02:19.83]
[02:22.30]Just tell Gerald to hold on the
[02:24.22]
[02:24.22]Chiffonier and I'll get by after while.
