00:00I'm Madeline Matlock. I'm a lawyer like the old TV show. Most of what you know about me is based
00:09in truth, but it's also a lie. Good evening, Mrs. Kingston. Who the hell are you? I wasn't like this
00:14before your firm protected the pharmaceutical company that killed my daughter. You love me. I do.
00:19You and I have to find a way to work together despite our trust issues to bring down Senior.
00:23The partners in charge are in New York. Eva! I thought it was a good time to assess the King's
00:28court. Does this involve unseating the King? A coup. What's going on, Dad? You were trying to get
00:32into Belvin's files last night. What were you looking for, son? You've been staring at me all
00:37morning, and now you're following me into hallways? Maddie wasn't conspiring with Belvin. I went after
00:42a 76-year-old grandmother, your friend. What is wrong with me? Nothing's wrong with you. I just
00:47crushed Julian in a way that feels lasting. I lied, but you're a liar. I will not do that again if we
00:54move forward with our friendship. I don't know if I can. You really hurt me, Maddie, and I
00:58need to protect myself.
01:00Good morning. Brought you a coffee.
01:18Hey, it's Lawrence. Morning. Hey, Maddie. How's the plant doing? Oh, it's growing bigger every day, like your son. How's
01:26his little league? Oh, big game this weekend. Prayer's up.
01:31Prayer's up? Prayer's can work wonders. Oh, that's just an expression. Me and the big guy parted ways a long time ago.
01:38Oh, some relationships are worth fighting for. Maybe you'll find your way back to each other.
01:47Kind of feels like the cops driving by me. Are you an every-Sunday Christian or a Christmas-Easter Christian?
01:57I'm a talk-about-work-at-work Christian.
02:00It's a slow day, so let's strategize. We need to get Deborah Palmer's NDA and find out what it covers.
02:06Did you look through the archived-well Brexit index again? Yes, it's definitely not in the system.
02:11So, Senior likely keeps a hard copy at his home office, which means to get our hands on it, I have to get in there.
02:18And are you listening? The nuns are back.
02:28Hi, sisters. Eva. Didn't know you were in New York.
02:31I came for a little personal matter and stopped by to see my favorite ladies. Turns out they could use some legal help.
02:37Oh.
02:42Didn't realize you were so devout.
02:44The sisters helped me with my Catholic guilt after my divorce.
02:46Showed them Senior's wardrobe and they agreed I deserve special dispensation.
02:50Hi, Maddie.
02:52Ah. Have we met?
02:54No. I researched Olympia's team. Loved your heart's gravel story. Super relatable.
02:58But to juries, not me. I come from money.
03:00Oh. Good to know.
03:01Good to have.
03:02So listen, my nuns run a ministry for the unhoused and the neighbors are making a stink about it.
03:07So I was hoping you'd go to the zoning board meeting with them today, shut the neighbors down.
03:11Maybe you'll fast pass the pearly gates.
03:17Have Billy and Sarah talk to the sisters. I'll find you after to discuss our other case.
03:21It's time. The quarterly meeting is in six weeks and I want to call a vote to house senior.
03:34What are your numbers?
03:35Miami and D.C. are locked.
03:37Chicago and Dallas are senior country. New York decides it.
03:40Out of 40 partners, we need 21 to pull off the coup.
03:43I know 10 that will say yes if approached, but not by me.
03:48Agreed. You're poison here.
03:50I shouldn't even be singing with you.
03:52We've got cover with the nuns.
03:53So what do you say? You want to deep fry the devil?
03:57When you hear a higher calling, you have to answer it.
04:00What started out as a little soup kitchen blossomed into meals and hot showers and job training.
04:08Blossomed? You talk like you're in the sound of music.
04:11Oh, Benny, stop picking on me.
04:13Point is, we help out a lot and the community was into it.
04:16But then came the artisanal pickle shop and the oat milk espresso bar.
04:20The gentrifiers descended like a plague of locusts with canvas tote bags.
04:23Alright, we're all God's children. Even the locusts with the tote bags.
04:28Sorry, I had to keep my phone on because, well, I'm having a baby.
04:33How far along is your wife?
04:36Four months. But, uh, not my wife.
04:40Although I did propose, but she said no, so.
04:43Anyway, I am going to propose. Again.
04:46You are.
04:48Yeah, but when I think about getting down on one knee, I just go back to the moment she said no.
04:53Then take your time to heal.
04:55But remember, marriage comes with perks. By which I mean tax incentives.
04:59Listen to her. She does all of our accounting.
05:02Oh, for Lord's sake. Don't use AI. The whole point is to connect with your father. Listen, I've got to get back to work. Bye.
05:12Joey wrote Alfie from rehab and he's stressed over what to write back.
05:16Eva's ready to stage the coup at the next quarterly meeting. If I can secure the votes needed from New York.
05:23Well, what are you thinking?
05:24That if Senior's gone, we'd be able to access so much more of Welbrexa. But if the coup fails...
05:30You can't. If you aim for the king, you'd better not miss.
05:34Zoning.
05:44Yeah, fascinating little nook of the law.
05:48Just... research for Olympia, sir.
05:51Oh, call me Senior. Like meeting your parents.
05:55Oh, Gary's not actually...
05:56No, your dad said you were ambitious.
05:58Well, dad never lies.
05:59Good. Because I need a favor.
06:02Anything.
06:03Senior.
06:05I think my son is plotting to poach clients when he leaves. But I want to be sure.
06:11So I need pictures of his date book for the last six months.
06:15Can I trust you to handle this discreetly?
06:18Well...
06:21Is there a conflict? Because I work for Olympia.
06:25Ambitious lawyer like you knows that the good of the firm always comes first.
06:32I'm sorry.
06:33Okay.
06:34Thanks.
06:35I'm sorry.
06:36I'm sorry.
06:37I'm sorry.
06:38I'm sorry.
06:39I can't...
06:40I'm sorry.
06:41I did not.
06:42Next issue before the board, matter number 25-1346 regarding the convent of Perpetual Hope.
07:06I'm sorry, but whatever it was that made you lose your faith,
07:10it must have been terribly painful.
07:17Death of my child.
07:21The hardest to explain.
07:24One can only say God is near the brokenhearted, restores the crushed in spirit.
07:30Yeah, didn't feel him near.
07:34And yet you survived the unimaginable.
07:37You think he left you?
07:41I think he left you standing.
07:43Put the right people in your path so you didn't remain broken forever.
07:55All right, let's begin.
07:56Esteemed board members, I come before you on behalf of a coalition of concerned neighbors.
08:02Allowing a zoning variant sets dangerous precedent.
08:06What happens when a developer requests the same accommodation?
08:09Studio apartments turned into bunk bed hostels?
08:11In 2012, the convent provided shelter for Sandy evacuees.
08:15In 2020, the convent housed nurses brought in to tackle the pandemic.
08:18Last summer, when it was too hot for the Cub Scouts to sleep outside, they slept in the church.
08:24And I don't recall any slippery slope objections to those uses.
08:27We're not talking about Cub Scouts.
08:29When the nuns opened their shelter, vandalism and property crime started rising.
08:33As they did citywide.
08:35Correlation is not causation.
08:36And I have multiple studies showing that the addition of homeless shelters lowers property values.
08:41Sixty years ago, if someone who looked like me moved into the neighborhood, you'd hear that same argument.
08:44It is based on prejudice, not on facts.
08:48What is a fact?
08:49It's that 770 unhoused New Yorkers died last year from extreme heat and cold temperatures.
08:54From a lack of access to medical care.
08:56From malnutrition.
08:57What these nuns are doing shouldn't be restricted.
09:00It should be celebrated.
09:02We won?
09:04Praise be!
09:05Yup.
09:06My headache is better.
09:07Just doing some backup research.
09:10I'll meet you downstairs.
09:10One of the sisters left their Mardi Gras beats in the conference room.
09:14Sarah found your rosary.
09:21Wait here with Billy.
09:23Maddie will grab your client and take paperwork.
09:27Evil wants an answer.
09:29Take away the title.
09:30You take away Senior's power.
09:32And once he's gone, the loyalty dries up and he's not here to guard the evidence.
09:36And our case just opens right up.
09:39I know.
09:40But supporting the vote and rallying all the other partners together are two different things.
09:45I have a lot to lose.
09:47Personally and professionally.
09:48Well that's why I should be the tip of the spear.
09:51You know, the other partners won't see Maddie Matlock are coming.
09:55And if I'm caught, then you'd be out.
09:57I'd be at Jacob's or more alone, flying solo on our mission.
10:02I trust you.
10:06And also, have faith.
10:11I do.
10:14Look, I've read your letter.
10:18I want to get back to our friendship.
10:20But I don't know if I can.
10:25I'll focus on what.
10:29Hello?
10:30Whoa, Sister Louise, slow down.
10:32What?
10:34There's some sort of raid happening at the church.
10:36What?
10:37Why?
10:38No, it's not that I don't think being a corporate compliance liaison is important.
10:41Hey, Julian.
10:42Enough hours in the day.
10:43Wait, Julian.
10:49Sorry, I...
10:50Holy crap.
11:03Help!
11:04I'm walking home and I just saw a man run into the church.
11:07I think he has a gun.
11:08Nice job shaking the 911 call loose.
11:10Well, having a family full of cops has its benefits.
11:13And that call was definitely a hoax.
11:15Maddie, Sarah, and I canvassed everyone in or near the church.
11:18No one saw anyone with a gun.
11:20Well, I just got a heads up from opposing counsel that the neighbors are filing a civil suit.
11:24What?
11:24On what basis?
11:26Something to do with whatever they found in the raid.
11:28We still need the seizure log.
11:30My sisters are all over it.
11:31Cop sisters, not nuns sisters.
11:33Although nuns sisters are working on it, too.
11:36Through prayer.
11:36How are they holding up with all the neighborhood hostility?
11:39Practicing forgiveness and encouraging me to do the same with Claudia during our pre-cana counseling sessions.
11:46How's that going?
11:47I can forgive, but forgetting is difficult.
11:50Claudia really crushed me, and she wants to move forward like nothing ever happened.
11:55Easier said than done.
11:56Trust me, I get it.
11:57Thanks.
11:57I know she doesn't mean to pressure me, but...
11:59I'm sure Claudia would go back and do things differently if she could.
12:02Yeah, that's what she says, but...
12:04It still happened, and forgiveness can't be rushed.
12:11Welcome back.
12:13I brought you breakfast.
12:15Oh, I told you in the hospital, no need.
12:17And I told you in the hospital, it's the least I can do since I almost killed you.
12:27Hey, let me...
12:27No, no, I got...
12:28No.
12:29Well, I...
12:30I got...
12:30I got...
12:31Here.
12:38This desk violates, like, six ADA guidelines.
12:41Let me reorganize it for you.
12:43I'm all good here, but I do have to make a phone call, so could you...
12:47Okay.
12:49I'll check in with you later.
12:52Bye.
12:52Olympia, help.
12:58Sarah is overbearing, she is annoying, and she's...
13:01Right in front of me.
13:02Got it.
13:03Sarah, walk with me.
13:04Sure, where?
13:05Anywhere.
13:05Coffee.
13:06Fine, yes.
13:08Want to fire up the mentorship again?
13:09TBD, but here's some mentor advice.
13:12Mm-hmm.
13:12Give Julian some space, like we talked about, in the ER and the hospital cafeteria.
13:17It's just hard.
13:19Look, can I be frank?
13:21Have you ever not been?
13:23Oh, yeah.
13:23I hold back all the time.
13:25I just...
13:26I feel so badly for Julian.
13:28His life is in the toilet.
13:30You divorce him and then trounced him in a partner race.
13:32His dad demoted him, and then he goes all death becomes her down the lobby stairs.
13:36I can't catch a break, you know?
13:37Yeah.
13:39Yeah, I do know.
13:40So maybe you could help me?
13:43Help him?
13:43Hey, boss.
13:45Found the contents of the raid.
13:46You're gonna want to take a look.
13:47Drugs.
13:50Specifically heroin and six dozen hypodermics.
13:53And we think we know why it was found in the church.
13:56We believe the neighborhood coalition planted the drugs after losing with the zoning board.
14:01Then they called 911, said they saw a gun, knowing the cops would respond immediately.
14:05A way to bolster their public nuisance lawsuit.
14:07What is it?
14:12The neighbors didn't plant the heroin or the needles.
14:162018, we were finding people dead felt like nearly every day.
14:21On park benches, in a pew.
14:24We started stocking Narcan.
14:26Narcan's a lifesaver.
14:28What about the needles?
14:29One night, this girl came in, shaking track marks on the edge of withdrawal.
14:36We had a zero-tolerance policy, but it was freezing.
14:39Eight inches of snow.
14:41Well, she was terrified.
14:42She'd take a hot shot and never wake up.
14:44So we sat with her, and she was so grateful.
14:49Talked about the times she'd been robbed, assaulted, while she was high on the streets.
14:53So now, only when asked, we provide clean needles, alcohol wipes, and a safe injection site.
15:01There is a name for this practice.
15:02Harm reduction.
15:03There's no such thing.
15:05You know how people get clean?
15:06They lose the things they love.
15:08The practice reduces overdose deaths by 50%.
15:10Reducing overdoses is not the same as getting clean.
15:14It's a temporary reprieve on a journey that leads to the same destination.
15:18Addicts end up in jail, sober, or dead.
15:22Regardless of any personal opinion, the neighborhood coalition's lawsuit just got teeth.
15:27Are you willing to give up the practice?
15:29We can't walk away from those in need.
15:32Then we go to trial and defend you under our lupa.
15:35Show that harm reduction is an exercise of your religion.
15:39And prove there's no compelling governmental interest in shutting it down.
15:42I think that you should sit this one out.
15:54No.
15:56I want to be here.
15:57It's like Billy said.
16:00Forgiveness is slow and steady work.
16:03You keep showing up, even if it's tough.
16:06Coffee date still on?
16:10Yeah.
16:11I'm heading there next.
16:12Great.
16:19Hey.
16:20Have you talked to Sarah yet?
16:22Because I got texts from her offering to do my homework and carry my book back.
16:25Look, she just wants to help.
16:30I don't need help.
16:32You kind of do.
16:34You know the kids are calling you sad dad.
16:36I know.
16:37They spelled it in stickers on my bathroom mirror.
16:40Sarah can't fix what's wrong with my life.
16:42Agreed.
16:43You're stuck.
16:44You've lost your confidence and you've become a shell of yourself.
16:47Well, thanks for the pep talk.
16:48You should look into motivational speaking.
16:50Straight talk?
16:51You want that to change?
16:52Start practicing the law.
16:54That's what you're good at.
16:55I'll remind you my father had me hand over all my cases.
16:58Then get new ones.
17:00So when you leave Jacobson Moore, you have some heat behind you.
17:03Use Sarah as the gasoline.
17:04And when she works off a little guilt, you show them you're still hungry.
17:09Pour some sugar on me.
17:10Maddie, we meet again.
17:12Third time this week.
17:13Well, God works in mysterious ways, Rob.
17:16How's your class action?
17:18Still a circus?
17:19Yep.
17:19And I'm still the guy pushing the broom behind the elephant.
17:22Well, somebody's got to pay for the company, Jet.
17:24How else would senior make tea time at St. Andrews?
17:28Oops.
17:29Sorry.
17:30Just with all those whispers out of Miami, a little riled up.
17:33What whispers?
17:35You haven't heard?
17:36Oh, Lord.
17:39I'm always begging out of turn.
17:41That's one of my gee darn worst habits.
17:43Maddie, wait.
17:45I don't want to get in trouble.
17:47I shouldn't have said anything.
17:49This stays between the two of us.
17:51Just tell me what you've heard.
17:53So I told Rob that Sonia Levy was talking to you and Vince Miller about the Miami office
18:01initiating some sort of coup.
18:03Now, I told him you'd never entertain it, but Vince seemed interested.
18:09That explains why I saw Rob and Vince talking in the law library this afternoon.
18:14Good work.
18:15Great.
18:16Who's our next vote?
18:17I got another one!
18:18An email from his dad, not a vote.
18:22I was thinking about targeting Felicia Spencer in the middle of a pricey divorce.
18:27Thought I'd get her going with no count, low down, cheat next, talk, and then wind her
18:32up about the downturn and bonus projections.
18:36What?
18:38I wasn't saying anything.
18:39We discussed this.
18:41It's not fair for you to ask me to lie and then get mad at me for doing it.
18:44I can't control how I feel.
18:45Well, this is how I get things done.
18:47I know.
18:47Well, what else do you need from me?
18:49Time.
18:50I need time.
18:51No problem.
18:57Harm reduction.
18:58Since you're arguing religious freedom, can you point me to a single verse in this book
19:04that says it's okay to help people inject heroin?
19:08Well, we could certainly look at Micah 6-8, Ezekiel 34-4, Jeremiah 30-17.
19:14Heroin, where in the Bible does it say...
19:18Objection.
19:19Asked and answered.
19:19None of those verses are about addicts shooting up.
19:23Overruled.
19:24You may answer.
19:25Jesus explicitly stated that his followers were to provide support to the sick, and those
19:34that didn't would be cast into eternal flame.
19:37The DSM-5, though it's a Bible of sorts to doctors, lists substance use disorder as a health condition.
19:49So our ministry to addicts is not just in line with Christ's teachings.
19:54It's compelled by them.
19:56Interesting interpretation.
19:59An interpretation is key here, isn't it?
20:03I asked your own archdiocese for an advisory opinion.
20:07Would you please read the highlighted section?
20:09Cooperation in drug abuse is a grave offense against moral law.
20:21If your own church considers your program a grave offense,
20:26then how can you claim it's an exercise of religious beliefs?
20:35What time is it in Italy?
20:39You are calm.
20:43Adversity rolls over you like waves in the ocean.
20:47Your patience is endless.
20:49Oh, damn it!
20:50Oh, it's you.
20:52I'm sorry, darling.
20:52I thought it was your grandfather.
20:54So that's a no on the British lady?
20:56No, I hate her.
20:57Let's try the Australian dude.
20:58Okay.
20:59And another email from Joey.
21:01That's 12 days in a row.
21:02Wow.
21:03I like that he's being so consistent.
21:05How's the British lady working out?
21:07Not a match.
21:08It's Olympia.
21:10Remember, patience.
21:15Hi there, Olympia.
21:18Grace Tan?
21:20That's fantastic.
21:22And I hope you're enjoying your time that I'm giving you, because I'm not.
21:27She'd already hung up.
21:31Oh.
21:33Well, that's our last vote for the coup.
21:36Next, I get to go and watch Olympia defend harm reduction in court and to the Catholic Church.
21:46Oh, Vatican group text.
21:50Kidding.
21:50Delta found my luggage.
21:51So you were saying?
21:52Uh, got a hearing set for canon court.
21:54What are the chances of them overturning the archdiocese?
21:57If I can convince them that supporting the sinner is different than encouraging the sin, we got a shot.
22:01Well, if anyone can do it, you can, Pat.
22:03I mean, father.
22:05Sorry.
22:06Still so weird to think of you as anything other than...
22:10Cutthroat Cassidy.
22:11Hangman Patty.
22:12I had a long list of nicknames in my former life.
22:14I was going to say the partner who coached me through my first Albert hearing.
22:19Never forget when you told me you were leaving.
22:21Well, 20 years working for the devil, I figured I'd give God a try.
22:24Oh, so I'm the devil now?
22:28I didn't think he'd be back after that big Jerry Maguire exit.
22:32Happy to pop by for a case consult or a quick exorcism?
22:35Well, put in a word for me with the big guy, Cassidy.
22:38Don't worry.
22:39He's heard all about you.
22:40Be careful of the company you keep.
22:45This guy?
22:46Eva?
22:47Not working with Eva.
22:49Working with nuns.
22:50You told me a long time ago to always say yes when the higher-ups ask for a favor.
23:04Careful calling me.
23:05Senior was in my office.
23:07Bad news.
23:08Kent Dodson left the Miami office for Lamar.
23:10And Olsen.
23:11Which means we are down a vote.
23:13Oh, no.
23:14Oh, yeah.
23:15I spent the last week shaking trees in other offices, but there's no one left to approach.
23:18Can you get one more in New York?
23:20Honestly, I don't know if I can.
23:23Honestly, the presentation's incredible.
23:26I'm going to land in Cognity Solutions as a client.
23:30And I am totally excited about that, even though the company is going to eliminate my job in two years.
23:36Reason I always sweet-talk my Alexa.
23:38Gotta stay on good terms with the bots before the robot uprising.
23:41Exactly.
23:42Why does no one else here understand that?
23:44I've been sucking up to mine for the last six years.
23:45You're not meeting in Cognity here, are you?
23:56You don't find my office impressive?
23:57I mean...
23:58I'm going to them.
23:59And yes, to your next question, you can come while we're meeting and reorganize my office.
24:04Unless you are replaced by, then, by the robots.
24:12Even robots can't color code like I can.
24:18You look how I feel, son.
24:20You okay?
24:21Oh, I'm just trying to get this doc review done for the priest-lawyer-emeritus guy.
24:26Ready for court?
24:27Yeah, ready, boss.
24:28We'll meet you at the elevator.
24:29Yeah.
24:29We lost a vote.
24:34Somehow we have to find another.
24:36It's a huge problem.
24:38Trust me, I didn't want to have to organize against a convent.
24:41I'm a Christian.
24:42My kids are in the Christmas pageant.
24:45And what changed your mind?
24:47August 17th.
24:49I was outside with my first grader.
24:52Is that when you took this video?
24:54No!
24:55No!
24:56Yes.
24:57I thought it was random, but now I know that they are condoning this behavior, attracting users.
25:07Your Honor, this is deliberately inflammatory.
25:10I move for an immediate protective order placing this exhibit under seal.
25:13On what grounds?
25:14This is what's happening.
25:15Harm reduction isn't gentle hymns, quiet prayers.
25:18It's overdoses, it's blood, and vomit, and needles.
25:23It's addicts flying into violent rages because Narcan ripped away their high.
25:27This is what it looks like.
25:36Are you okay?
25:38Seeing that?
25:40Watching that?
25:42No, I'm not.
25:43Which is why I told you to stay home.
25:44Well, clearly I should have, and I don't know why I didn't.
25:50Actually, that's not true.
25:53It's my own addiction to fixing this.
25:59Us.
26:02We need some space.
26:06Let's call it harm reduction.
26:07The Archdiocese is evicting us.
26:26They referenced the video and the two New York Ledger articles about the O.D. in front of the church.
26:31I'm appealing to the church's highest court, the Roman Rota, but they're more likely to agree to hear the case if you win the civil suit.
26:40And the civil suit needs the church's sign-off.
26:43Quite the artisanal pickle.
26:45We just have to push forward when we present our case this week and focus on all the good works you do for the community.
26:52We had to shut down the soup kitchen. Nobody can get through.
26:55Now they're actually keeping you from feeding people?
26:57Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.
26:59You're really not angry.
27:02We reserve our anger for the likes of Katy Perry.
27:05They're letting fear lead instead of love.
27:08And if we don't forgive them, we're doing the same thing.
27:12Where's Maddie, by the way?
27:14Schultz is a power grabber, but he's trying to land you as steel, so he might not vote to oust senior because it'll make the firm seem unstable.
27:22What do you think?
27:23I think if this week at home is going to extend to two weeks, you should help out with some meal prep.
27:31But...
27:31And don't do that thing where you pretend that you're incompetent, I get frustrated, and then I do the whole thing myself.
27:38I appreciate how you see me.
27:41Partners for life, baby.
27:42What do you think?
27:44Okay.
27:46Schultz versus Slasky.
27:49Approached the wrong person.
27:51We're busted.
27:52What do you think?
27:54I think you might want to reach out to Olympia.
27:57Who knows these people?
27:59She's working on the case.
28:01I'm working on the coup.
28:02We're giving each other space.
28:04Everyone benefits from a little space.
28:06You don't say it.
28:07I don't remember you being in my way when we were home in San Francisco.
28:14Well, that's because Alfie was small and I was busy with him.
28:18The great thing is, is we have time to make a decision on whom to approach and then we can have a real debate.
28:23Would you like to help me fold while we debate?
28:26Yeah, got it.
28:30To fold the laundry, you must approach the laundry.
28:35Oh, Edwin.
28:36When?
28:38Alfie's been keeping something from us.
28:46Hey.
28:47Hi.
28:49I thought you left for incognity.
28:51First order of business, go digital.
28:54Incognity pushed the meeting until tomorrow and, uh, I can't.
28:58It's stupid, but growing up I'd come to the office once in a while to visit my dad.
29:07He kept a date book just like this.
29:09I always seemed full of the most important things in the world, so I bought my first one the day I graduated law school.
29:18So, aren't you going to ask me why they pushed the meeting until tomorrow?
29:22Uh, why do they push the meeting until tomorrow?
29:26Because they want their whole executive committee to be there when they sign with Jacobson Moore.
29:33Really?
29:34Uh-huh, really.
29:35Sarah, activate robot dance mode.
29:39Y2K, execute funkiness.
29:42No way I'm doing that.
29:44Join in or face our wrath.
29:46Oh, so, um, will you...
29:56Sort out the contracts for filing?
29:57Beep, boop, yup.
29:59That and come with me to build the relationship.
30:05Incognity will be lucky to have a lawyer like you one day.
30:08Me?
30:09I'll be moving on from Jacobson Moore at some point.
30:12And, uh, given my father's no poaching policy, I'm not taking them with me, so let's make sure they get to know you.
30:23Grabbing the kids from basketball, we'll call you at bedtime.
30:27FYI, introducing a new name.
30:29No longer Sad Dad, going with Rad Dad.
30:33You got incognito?
30:34Mm-hmm.
30:34Can I have Sarah back?
30:35You can.
30:37Nun K, still tough going?
30:38I saw the Ledger articles.
30:40I've got addiction experts and a boatload of studies, but their side was so visceral.
30:46I can't figure out how to sway emotion our way.
30:49Maddie's still out of the office?
30:51Sarah said Maddie's mom was an alcoholic.
30:54She's sensitive to addiction issues.
30:56Is that true?
30:58It is, yeah.
30:59But that's not the whole truth, right?
31:02It's my fault.
31:04Bringing up the fact that Maddie took the photos from Mrs. Belvin's office, it damaged trust between you two.
31:11She should have been honest with me.
31:13True, but friends aren't soldiers.
31:17Straight talk.
31:20You are your father's daughter.
31:25Your father's apologizing for not writing last week.
31:28But you showed us the emails.
31:31I wrote them.
31:32I didn't want you to think he messed up because you said he has to get it all perfect.
31:37Darling, he's allowed to make normal life kind of mistakes.
31:42He only has to be perfect in his sobriety.
31:46Oh, that's Olympia.
31:47She reached out.
31:48Probably wants to talk about the coup.
31:50Okay.
31:51I need to say something.
31:56You lied to me for a year, so I'm allowed to be mad for a year if I want.
31:59Because trust is important to me.
32:01And if what you said in your letter is true about our friendship, then prove it and help me win this case.
32:07Even if it's hard for you.
32:08Well...
32:08Because forgiveness is hard.
32:09I know.
32:10And if you say you want to earn it, then put in the work to earn it.
32:12Well, if you'd stop talking for a second, I could say yes.
32:16Come on.
32:17We need to counter the idea that by providing care, the nuns are endangering the community.
32:24What about Lasky?
32:26To help with the nuns?
32:28Well, Lasky went on vacation with Senior in 2012.
32:31And he doesn't like him now, but I'm worried about residual loyalty.
32:36Okay.
32:38So, what if you argue that if Alyssa's overdose happened in the church, no child could have seen it from the playground?
32:46That won't counteract the image in the mind of the judge.
32:49Or the fact that a child saw.
32:50No, it won't.
32:51But this is someone's child, too.
32:53We have to get the judge to feel that and understand that there are no good options.
32:59Say, you're Alyssa.
33:01And you grow up.
33:03Wait a minute, holy hell.
33:05If this isn't divine intervention...
33:08Look at her prior address.
33:10It's right by the church.
33:11The nuns didn't bring danger into the community.
33:15Alyssa is the community.
33:16We need Alyssa to testify.
33:18But how do we find her?
33:20Well, you've come to the right person.
33:29Well, what's the really good news?
33:31Julian definitely isn't poaching clients, so whatever you heard is just a rumor.
33:36Well, thank you for sharing your opinion, which I did not ask for.
33:41But what I did ask for were photos of my son's date book.
33:45Did you get that?
33:48No, I didn't.
33:50So it's not really good news.
33:51Do you want some food?
34:09Water?
34:10Yeah.
34:11Thanks.
34:13So, Alyssa...
34:14Lombardi.
34:15Alyssa Lombardi.
34:17You said you knew her?
34:18I haven't seen her in a while, but I haven't known her.
34:20Sorry, that guy has been following me.
34:25I know him, he's bad news.
34:26Can we talk in your car, do you think?
34:28Yeah, get in.
34:36Somewhere we should go?
34:38Uh, the convent.
34:39Sometimes I go there, but all the protesters shut it down.
34:45I'm sorry, I have to use...
34:47No, no, no, no, not here.
34:48Yeah, okay, uh, take my phone, text Alyssa while I...
34:53Hey, you gotta go.
34:55Okay.
34:56Yeah, yeah, let me get out, give me my phone.
34:59No, don't.
35:00I have to do this.
35:02I'll come back.
35:02Stay in the car.
35:04I have to...
35:05I understand.
35:06Stay in the car.
35:13Text Alyssa.
35:14Uh, my father was a military man.
35:28Think you know that?
35:29We used to move every three years or so.
35:34New base.
35:36New school, new friends.
35:37He used to tell me that I was his little soldier.
35:42Tough.
35:43You'll take the good ones with you.
35:47He also said that if anyone betrays you, move on.
35:52I even cut my own mother off.
36:00So this trust thing, Maddie...
36:03It runs deep.
36:04Real deep.
36:04But I have to move past it so that I don't keep losing the things that are most important
36:18to me.
36:19Are you sure you can do this?
36:49I can do this.
36:54Alyssa, is that you overdosing in this video?
36:57It is.
36:57Yes.
36:59When did your addiction start?
37:02Fourteen.
37:03By the time I was seventeen, my parents had thrown me out.
37:06Where were you living before they kicked you out?
37:10Sixtieth and Putnam.
37:11Two blocks from the convent.
37:13So you were brought up in the neighborhood.
37:16I was.
37:16What brought you back?
37:17I had been living in Philly.
37:20Struggling.
37:20I thought being closer to home would help.
37:23Let's talk about the day of your overdose.
37:26I had been sober two months.
37:28So my tolerance was lower.
37:30I used the old amount.
37:32That's what happened to me.
37:33I was sober.
37:35I was sober.
37:36And I slipped.
37:38And my tolerance was lower.
37:39If I had been in the park, I'd be dead.
37:42But I was near the convent.
37:44And Sister Benny came out with Narcan.
37:47There was no one there for me.
37:49And was that your last time using?
37:55No.
37:56But I'm back in recovery now.
37:59And I'm gonna try again.
38:02I got another chance to try again.
38:04Another chance?
38:06To see my son grow up?
38:09And my parents grow old?
38:11To sing karaoke?
38:13I get another chance to do it all differently.
38:19Now if we are really worried about public safety,
38:22what could be a bigger threat than stopping a program
38:26that is saving community members' lives?
38:28I got the photos you asked for.
38:33Good job.
38:35I was beginning to think all that talk about ambition
38:38was just hot air.
38:41You can go.
38:54Hi.
38:55Hey.
38:55Baby's kicking like crazy.
38:57Yeah?
38:57Yeah.
38:57Like, knows I'm excited.
38:59Oh.
39:00Because I was talking to my mom,
39:03and I had a revelation.
39:06Billy, I don't care about getting married.
39:08Seriously.
39:09It's caused both of us so much stress and pain,
39:12and I have faith in us, married or not married.
39:15Connie, I do want us to get married.
39:18Oh, thank God.
39:19The world is meant to be fair.
39:23Well, I've been told by those in the know that
39:25God puts the right people around you so you don't stay broken forever.
39:30Just give it to us straight.
39:32The judge issued her a ruling.
39:34She found Alyssa's testimony compelling.
39:37But safety concerns outweighed it.
39:40The harm reduction part of your program will be shut down,
39:42but your homeless outreach can continue.
39:45And the church backed off eviction,
39:47as long as there's no drug use on church property.
39:52Sometimes his signs are clear.
39:59The Lord called us to minister to those on the streets.
40:04It seems to be the moment to take our ministry to the streets.
40:07What does that mean?
40:08We'll leave the convent in the capable hands of our sisters.
40:10You're leaving the church?
40:13Matthew 18, 20.
40:15Jesus said,
40:16For where two or three are gathered together in my name,
40:19there am I in the midst of them.
40:22And look at that.
40:23One, two, three of us.
40:26Well, sisterhood is a powerful thing.
40:30It sure is.
40:32Well, we should let the others know.
40:36So, did you talk to Alfie?
40:38Yeah, I told him his father doesn't have to be perfect in his sobriety.
40:43Just has to be committing to trying.
40:46Look at that mountain moving.
40:50It's Eva calling about the coup.
40:53We just don't have that last vote about this.
40:57I'm just trying to get this doc review done
40:58for the priest, lawyer, emeritus guy.
41:02Partners for life, baby.
41:05Well, we should let the others know.
41:06And I should get to the airport, sisters.
41:10Thank you, Father.
41:13One last question, Father.
41:15How would you feel about a good Old Testament smiting?
41:21Cassidy still has partner emeritus status.
41:25Partners emeritize still retain voting power.
41:28He's our last vote?
41:29Said it was his God-given duty.
41:31So, we're really doing this?
41:35Prayers up.
41:37Amen, sister.
41:38kin, but I'll see you now.
41:43Amen.
41:43Amen.
41:44Amen.
41:44Amen.
42:03Amen.
42:04Amen.
42:04Amen.
42:05Amen.
