This is a difficult case, but I'm sure we'll win.And how are you supposed to help us?A casino is private profit, not public use. It's only for corporate interests. This casino will cause more harm than good. I'll ask the court to stop the land seizure until the case is heard. That should buy us some time.Thank you so much. We really love this place. We don't want to leave.It's a beautiful place indeed.Do you have a place to stay?I'm staying at the Fallen Oaks Lodge. I'm going to stay for 2 days.We have a guest room if you want to stay here.Mom—It's okay, Miss Brooks. Thank you for the offer, but I've already paid for the lodge. I have to go now. I need to prepare the file.I'll walk you out.Thank you for helping us, David.My pleasure. Thank you once again for coming. We're a strong community, but we don't know how to handle this situation.I'll make sure this land remains intact. While I'm here, how about we go horseback riding? I'd love to explore the nature around us.Sure, we can do that.Great. I'll text you.David is such a true gentleman. Is he your boyfriend?No, Mom. We're just friends.I don't know. Maybe there is something going on. You're blushing.Look at this view. It's so beautiful. If a casino is built here, it will all be gone. So many tourists come here. We need to protect this place.Your honor, please hear me. The land seizure has to stop. The casino is not public use. It's for private profit. The residents will suffer. I ask for an injunction.Your honor, this project benefits the city. It will bring jobs and revenue. The seizure is legal. A plebiscite was held and the people want the casino.This plebiscite was held in the city, not in the suburbs. It should be voided. The area is a main attraction for tourists seeking nature. Without the nature, these tourists will go elsewhere.This is total nonsense. A casino will bring in millions of dollars, hundreds of jobs and opportunities. We'll have a hotel and a golf course. This place will be packed with tourists. Even the governor and the mayor are supporting our cause. They know what the community wants. They already approved everything.I understand both sides. I will review the case for now. The seizure is paused. The session is adjourned.Let me tell you something, kid. I think it's best if you drop the case.And why would I do that?We just want to help the community. A casino will help everyone. Don't you want that?I understand your point of view, but it's not what the residents want.You're dealing with very powerful people.Are you threatening me?Of course not. We're all friends here. It's just a recommendation.Can I go now?Nobody is holding you.I'm following him. He's staying at the Fallen Oaks Lodge. Okay, boss.Is everything okay, honey?Yes, everything is fine. Just someone trying to get in my way. Let's go back to the shore. I need to take care of some business.Anything I can help with?Don't worry. I got everything under control.Hi, Megan. I have some great news for us. The judge will look into the case. The land seizure has been stopped for now. I hope he judges in our favor.That's great news. I hope everything will be sorted out. How about we go horseback riding?That will be nice. I'll be there in 20 minutes. See you.Hey. Mom, I have some good news.What is it?The judge will look into the case. The land seizure has stopped. Maybe we have a chance.That's great, Megan. I hope everything will be okay. Where are you going?I'm going horseback riding with David. He's coming to pick me up.David seems like a genuine man. I liked him. Where did you meet him?We live in the same building. He's about to arrive. I have to go.Enjoy your day, honey.
