Albert Arffmann grooms La Jolla's streets
Aggressive defense lawyer Alex Landon, the man behind Murphy's Boxing Gym, San Diego's probation officers, Life Flight helo heroes, she chose Tijuana poverty
Arffmann would often prepare meals for Loew’s large dinner parties. Among the guests were Liz Taylor and Nicky Hilton, Shelly Winters, and Janet Leigh.

Arffmann works into the early-morning hours, cleaning the restaurant and preparing the Pearl for the coming day. “Imagine you were having some friends over for dinner,” he says, "and imagine the numerous preparations you would make. Now imagine you were having many friends over twice a day, for lunch and dinner." When he is free, Arffmann and Freeman clean the streets.

Judge Frederic Link once offered Landon $200 to cut off his ponytail.
Many people I represent are very, very nice people
“What you do see day in, day out are 18- to 25-year-olds — unemployed high school dropouts involved in drug offenses, petty property crimes. Those are the people we pay tax dollars to warehouse, and those are the people we will see again because we are not addressing reasons why they got involved in the first place."

Doug Moore: "Dickie’s not a hardcore criminal, just a guy who wasn’t aware of his liabilities and who got in over his head.”
The last chance
“I want the doctors to put me to sleep,” says Albert in a disturbing monotone. Necochea wants to know where Albert is, who is with him, and whether he is on drugs. She finds he is alone at his house. That’s good, because he can't hurt anybody. While Albert rambles, Necochea tells her supervisor to have the police meet her at Albert’s home immediately.

Randy Mains
A fast flight from death
Most of Life Flight’s six pilots would simply follow Highway 94 to Tecate, but Mains intends to save time by flying a more direct route, straight over the mountains. Meanwhile, in an upstairs room inside the old wooden federal building in Tecate, a woman sits against a wall, her eyes half closed, her breathing labored, her blood pressure pushing dangerous limits.

Sister Maggie's home in Altamira
Sister of poverty
Yee has seen more evil than should exist. She has known anguished psychotics, men trying to kill themselves with alcohol, suffering children and lonely pensioners, people beaten and diseased and abandoned on the street — enough to disgust a cop.
