00:00I'm a lawyer like the old TV show most of what you know about me is based in truth
00:05But it's also a lie. Who the hell are you Madeline Kingston?
00:08I wasn't like this before your firm protected the pharmaceutical company that killed my daughter. Joey's Alfie's father
00:15If you want to see Alfie, this is your chance. Joey's checked into rehab. How happy is Alfie?
00:20Did you hear? I'm thrilled darling. We need to get Deborah Palmer's NDA and find out what it covers. Senior likely keeps a hard
00:27Copy at his home office. I need a favor. I need pictures of my son's date book for the last six months
00:33Ambitious lawyer like you knows that the good of the firm always comes first
00:39Ready for our drink Skippy? How'd you piss off your father? Breathe pretty much. What about your ex-wife?
00:44She blindly loyal to him. The quarterly meeting is in six weeks and I want to call a vote to our senior
00:49So what do you say? Eva's ready to stage the coup. If senior's gone, we'd be able to access so much more of Wilbrexa
00:55If you aim for the king you better not miss
00:57You better not miss
01:03You spent one summer in Paris
01:06And finally I get to use my French
01:08I told you I'm not doing that
01:18Oh, you should. It's fun. How are you feeling?
01:22Nervous? Excited?
01:24When we'll leave a call to vote.
01:26Meeting starts at 8.15.
01:28Morning, everybody.
01:30Thanks for joining us, guys.
01:32It'll be called by 8.17.
01:34I wish I could watch. Senior won't know what hit him.
01:38Before we turn to the quarterly agenda, I'd like to call a vote.
01:42And I'll remind you that once the votes are counted, the decision is effective immediately.
01:46And what is it we're voting on?
01:48A motion to remove you as managing partner.
01:51And then we vote his ass out.
01:54Say it.
01:55Just once.
01:57Vive la revolution!
01:59Vive la revolution!
02:02Today's the day the king falls.
02:09Call me the minute you're done.
02:11Cool.
02:13How dramatic.
02:15Shakespearean.
02:18Before the vote, permission to plead my case.
02:20Of course.
02:21Do it in iambic pentameter.
02:24Call this my folio.
02:26Pass them out, please.
02:27As some of you know, last year, Lamar and Olsen made an overture, wanted to merge.
02:44However, the terms were not favorable at the time.
02:49They are now.
02:51The number at the bottom of page one is the bonus each of you would receive should the deal go through.
02:59Of course, these are my relationships, which means it falls apart if I'm voted out.
03:05But I'm all for the democratic process, Eva.
03:11You do realize I'm a lawyer.
03:15We had a verbal agreement about the ratio of roses to baby's breath.
03:18And if you renege, I...
03:20Oh, they hung up.
03:22I guess I need to find a new wedding florist for my mom and Gary.
03:24Sarah, sometimes with these vendors, you get a better price if you kill them with kindness.
03:29You get a better price because they load you up with baby's breath, which is a filler flower.
03:32Oh.
03:35I'm gonna have to take this, but if y'all need a lead on discount doilies, I got the guy.
03:43Hello?
03:43Hi, Mrs. Kingston, it's Joey.
03:46Yeah, hi, how are you?
03:48Really good.
03:49I'm getting out of rehab tomorrow.
03:52Yes, I know.
03:53Of course, yeah.
03:54Thank you again, and thanks for letting me email with Alfie.
03:58It's been really cool.
03:59Well, hearing from you has meant a great deal to him.
04:02Yeah, me too.
04:03And I want to do things right this time, which means contacting his guardian before reaching out, right?
04:10I appreciate that.
04:11Yeah, well, I appreciate you guys.
04:16So I was wondering, could I sit down with you and Mr. Kingston, talk about how things could go, what you're comfortable with?
04:23I think that's a great idea.
04:27Whoa, huge news, get ready.
04:28Oh, you got a deal on a florist?
04:30No, something just went down in the quarterly meeting.
04:34Apparently, the partners are exploring a merger.
04:37Senior killed it.
04:38The vote was never even called.
04:40He clearly knew it was coming.
04:42How?
04:43I don't know, but I do know he's going to be off of blood.
04:46Will he even name names?
04:47I don't think so.
04:48She hates Senior and knowledge is power.
04:51But we are definitely on a clock.
04:53Senior is going to be hunting for traitors.
04:55We need to prove he gave that Valbrexa order yesterday.
04:58Yesterday.
04:59Exactly.
04:59Which means getting Deborah Palmer's NDA.
05:02I checked with Julian.
05:03Senior likely keeps it in his home office.
05:05What do you mean you checked with Julian?
05:07He knows I'm trying to nail his father.
05:09But you cannot involve him in any of these details.
05:11Julian.
05:12It's a non-negotiable for me.
05:13Just sent me a text, is what I was going to say.
05:16Oh.
05:18What's on the docket?
05:23Lionel told me he was a chiropractor and that he had come up with a special copper back brace.
05:28I was impressed by the science and the patient testimonials were through the roof.
05:32And that's why you decided to invest?
05:34Yes.
05:35That and he said he could get the copper for $3 per pound.
05:38Why was that important?
05:39It was a dollar under market rate.
05:41Except it was a lie.
05:44Objection.
05:45Grounds.
05:46He's lying about me lying.
05:49Mr. Carlisle, are you sure you want to continue representing yourself pro se?
05:54Perhaps hiring counsel?
05:55No, no.
05:57Nobody knows this case like me.
06:05You've got to be kidding me.
06:07Then all of a sudden the price of copper had jumped more than a dollar.
06:10He said the copper supplier pulled a fast one on him.
06:12But Lionel went into that investor lunch planning to take us for all we were worth.
06:17Any objection here, Mr. Carlisle?
06:19Yes.
06:20Grounds?
06:23I'm thinking of the same one you're thinking of.
06:28I object to this line of questioning.
06:30I told you, I'll be fine.
06:32Whatever happens.
06:33I know you will be fine, but it's also okay to be hopeful.
06:38And to even tell your husband that you're hopeful.
06:42Fine.
06:43I'm hopeful.
06:45If I can get my mom to move closer, she could spend more time with the kids.
06:49And?
06:50And you.
06:51And one more person?
06:53And me.
06:55Was that so hard?
06:57Depends.
06:57Are you trying to get my defenses down, since we are both competing for one spot on the
07:02CVS litigation team?
07:03What?
07:04Uh-huh.
07:05Never.
07:06First, I'm a shoo-in.
07:08Hey.
07:08And, uh, two, since your dad passed, I know you've been wanting to be closer to her, and
07:14I want that for you.
07:20She's coming for lunch.
07:22That's a good sign.
07:23I can't sustain an objection if you can't state grounds.
07:28Proceed.
07:29Objection.
07:30From the gallery.
07:31That's new.
07:32Your Honor, as an officer of the court, I cannot sit idly by and watch this pro se defendant
07:36be steamrolled.
07:38Consider this my notice of appearance.
07:39And what interest do you have in these proceedings?
07:43Mr. Carlisle's co-defendant is my mother.
07:47Mom, would you care to explain to me how you became a co-defendant in Lionel's fraud
07:56trial?
07:57He didn't defraud anybody.
07:58He's a businessman.
08:00Exactly.
08:01Not a lawyer.
08:02I'm holding my own.
08:03You can keep holding your own.
08:04I'll be representing you from now on.
08:06That's not necessary.
08:06Mom.
08:07Lionel and I are in this together.
08:08You'd have to represent us both.
08:10I'll get another lawyer for him.
08:12It's a conflict of interest.
08:14We have the same interest.
08:16What are you talking about?
08:18And why is your house on the line?
08:23Lionel and I are married.
08:28And I popped into Gigi's to grab a coffee.
08:31And there was Lionel having his breakfast.
08:34Short stack specifically, but they didn't give me syrup.
08:38So I asked if I could borrow your mom's.
08:40We got to talking.
08:41And we like to say we've been talking ever since.
08:46Dude.
08:47Who do you like to say that to?
08:50How long you been together?
08:52Three months.
08:54And it felt like the right time to come and introduce him to you and the grandbabies.
08:59So that's why you're here?
09:01And to tell you in person that Lionel is moving in with me.
09:05You got married?
09:09I was small at the courthouse.
09:12We went to Gigi's for brunch afterwards.
09:14They gave us a free short today.
09:16I'm sorry.
09:17You had to find out this way.
09:19I said she should tell you.
09:20I was worried you wouldn't approve and would try to stop us.
09:24And Lionel is good to me.
09:27He's good for me.
09:28Uh, give me a minute.
09:41Do you need one?
09:48No.
09:48It won't make it better.
09:49I got a doozy.
09:55Christmas vacation, 1992.
09:56I'm eight years old.
09:57I go buy snacks when the plane boards.
10:00My father doesn't notice and flies to Switzerland without me.
10:03And when I finally get in touch with him, he tells me that it's a lesson in time management.
10:08Again, I am eight years old.
10:11So I spend Christmas with Sam, the doorman.
10:15I love Sam.
10:17Yeah, okay.
10:19It did make me feel a little better.
10:21Well, I'm glad my dad trauma could help.
10:25How long have you known?
10:28Ever since you had drinks with my son, who you despise.
10:33You track him?
10:34Track a lot of things.
10:36You've been buying a lot of drinks in the last few months.
10:40Who led the charge in New York?
10:42You really think I'd tell you?
10:44What's it going to cost me?
10:46A million?
10:47I'll be darling.
10:49That's my purse collection.
10:51About the ski chalet that you fought so hard for in our divorce.
11:01I want the name.
11:06So we're coming in mid-trial?
11:08One day in, which means we are rebuilding the car while it's driving.
11:12For the record, I didn't defraud anyone.
11:15Not relevant.
11:16It is too relevant, Olympia.
11:18I'm speaking legally.
11:19We have to build a case based on evidence.
11:22Evidence based on fact patterns.
11:24Let me make sure I got the fact pattern right.
11:27So, Lionel, you sourced a mill that sold copper for $3 a pound.
11:32Right.
11:33And I have the evidence to prove it.
11:34A signed letter?
11:36Affidavit.
11:38And then they changed the price on them.
11:40That is not Lionel's fault.
11:42Unfortunately, the copper mine swears that they notified Lionel that the price changed before the investor lunch.
11:49You left me a voice note, they said.
11:51Well, voice notes disappeared.
11:53Convenient?
11:53To whom?
11:56Why are you nodding?
11:58Because I'm pumped for the next step.
12:00We subpoena the phone and data records for Lionel and the copper company.
12:03Yup.
12:04If the voice note was sent, there should be a record of it on their end.
12:06Good.
12:07Go.
12:07All right, um, we have to prep for tomorrow.
12:11The Plank Dev is calling Brenda McCoy to the stand.
12:14Who is she?
12:16Lionel's ex.
12:17When they were dating, she invested in another product he developed.
12:21Here's everything you need to know about Brenda.
12:23She's crazy.
12:24So she was deposed?
12:25Yup, but I got a whole bunch of dirt on Brenda in this file.
12:28Points and counterpoints.
12:30What are you thinking?
12:32Molyneux rule.
12:34Say again?
12:35It dates back to a man named Roland Molyneux.
12:38He dabbled in poison.
12:40And he took out a business rival.
12:42And then a romantic rival.
12:44Now, legally speaking, that means you can't use a person's prior bad acts against them.
12:49So, we're going to try to get Brenda's testimony tossed.
12:53Smart.
12:54Yeah, well, she went to law school.
12:57You two ready for dinner?
12:59Kids are really excited.
13:01Julian to the rescue, as usual.
13:04What is that?
13:05Never mind.
13:07Have a good dinner.
13:11I had a brilliant idea.
13:14Just hear me out.
13:16We body swap.
13:18I'll deal with Lionel and you deal with Joey.
13:21See, this is why I keep you around.
13:23Let's do it.
13:24Oh, great.
13:25I just have to finesse the logistics.
13:26In the meantime, how are you doing?
13:31You work through things.
13:34I think they can't hurt you anymore.
13:36But then the pattern repeats.
13:39You're hurt again.
13:40I don't have to work from home tomorrow.
13:44Yes, you do.
13:46Unless you figured out that body swap thing.
13:49Let me know how it goes with Joey.
13:50So I'm staying at a sober living place for the next 30 days.
13:56I got a sponsor.
13:57I'm going to meetings.
13:59That's really wonderful.
14:01Of course, we are going to still want to test you.
14:05Yes, understood.
14:06Oh.
14:07Good.
14:08Then, Edwin and I would like to invite you to dinner tonight.
14:13Oh, okay.
14:15Great.
14:16Just a few things to keep in mind.
14:19Alfie's going to be asking a lot of questions about his mother.
14:22Yeah, I've been thinking about all the stories I want to tell him.
14:25Just be careful.
14:26He knows about her addiction, of course.
14:28But just avoid the nitty-gritty details.
14:31You know, he's only 14.
14:33Got it.
14:35Well, it's crazy.
14:35When I was 14, I was already using.
14:38That, for instance, is something you shouldn't bring up.
14:40No, I meant...
14:42I won't.
14:45Yeah.
14:46I was thinking Alfie's into engineering.
14:48I love motorcycles, so maybe we could break the ice.
14:51Oh, we prefer to stay away from motorcycles in general.
14:57Got it.
14:58Sorry.
14:59Oh, no, you don't have to be sorry.
15:01We're learning each other.
15:02We're hopefully embarking on a long relationship.
15:05Yeah.
15:06We just want to start off on the right foot.
15:10Yeah.
15:14Hey, Julian.
15:15What's going on?
15:17Need something on incognity?
15:18No, look, um, this is a weird question, but my dad somehow got wind of drinks I had a while back.
15:26So I was wondering, when you were helping me, did you ever see him lurking around?
15:32No.
15:33I...
15:34I...
15:34I did not.
15:36Anyone else on his behalf?
15:38I'm sorry.
15:41Uh, you don't need to be in the middle of this, uh...
15:44Forget I asked.
15:54Prior bad acts.
15:56The Molyneux rule clearly states they cannot be considered.
15:59Therefore, we move that the testimony of Brenna McCoy be declared inadmissible.
16:03She's here to talk about the defendant's poor character.
16:05So she won't be bringing up their previous business deal?
16:07Oh, I imagine that'll come up, yes.
16:09Then it's overly prejudicial.
16:11People are not their past.
16:12Unless their past established the absence of mistake.
16:15And that's an exception to Molyneux.
16:17Nobody's arguing that it was a mistake.
16:19Ah, your client did, in one of his more incoherent pro se outbursts.
16:23I have the transcript.
16:24Uh, who knows what happened?
16:26Could have been a million things.
16:27The mind changed the price, or someone there made a mistake, or I made a mistake.
16:31We are not there, we are here.
16:33He was speaking as a lawyer then, not as a witness.
16:37Unfortunately, Molyneux doesn't differentiate.
16:39Mr. Rofe, call your witness.
16:47Ms. McCoy, will you please tell our jury how you went from a romantic relationship with
16:56Mr. Carlisle to investing in his business?
16:59Well, he had this idea for a neck weight that would combat the effects of sitting in front
17:04of a computer all day.
17:06Tech neck, he called it.
17:07I thought it was clever, and so did Walmart.
17:10Lionel told me he had a purchase agreement with them.
17:13And how much did you invest?
17:15$60,000.
17:17My life savings.
17:18I trusted him because I loved him.
17:21And did it pay off?
17:23No.
17:23There was no Walmart deal.
17:26Just a Walmart meeting.
17:28Lionel had all kinds of excuses and explanations.
17:31But you wound up with nothing.
17:33I wound up with a broken heart.
17:43Ms. McCoy, is it true that you and Lionel like to attend the Albany Dinner Theater?
17:46Yes.
17:46Do you remember the last play you saw there together?
17:49It was Oklahoma.
17:51Do you remember standing up during the show and shouting,
17:54If you leave me, I'll bury you.
17:57Lionel broke up with me right before it started.
18:01I was probably upset.
18:03So that's a yes?
18:04Yes.
18:05When you're upset with a man for breaking up with you, do you often accuse them of crimes?
18:11Objection.
18:11Talk about Molyneux.
18:13Your Honor, I am not arguing propensity.
18:15I am interrogating the witness's character for truthfulness.
18:17Or lack thereof.
18:20Another Molyneux exception.
18:22Or do you only remember the ones that help you?
18:24She's right.
18:25Overruled.
18:26After Joe Thomas broke up with you, you sued him for reimbursement for a watch that you gifted him, correct?
18:35I loaned him that watch.
18:36It was not a gift.
18:37It was, according to the judge who dismissed the case.
18:40Let's talk about Alan Janetti.
18:42After he broke up with you, did you file a restraining order against him?
18:46He kept calling nonstop.
18:48I thought I saw him outside the house.
18:49But he wasn't there, was he?
18:50No, but...
18:51Did you get the restraining order?
18:52I dropped it.
18:52I just wanted to move on.
18:54Yes, I think we all do.
19:10Are you okay?
19:12I'm just nervous.
19:13What if it's awkward?
19:15First meetings are always awkward.
19:17You're just getting to know each other.
19:18I can always jump in.
19:20Yeah, I'm nervous about that, too.
19:22Oh.
19:29Hey, Joey.
19:31Yeah, sure.
19:32He's right here.
19:37Hi again.
19:38Do you like lasagna?
19:43Oh.
19:44Totally, yeah.
19:46Uh, some other time.
19:50He isn't feeling well.
19:53But I have a ton of homework, so it works out.
19:55We're gonna reschedule.
20:00Not the most promising start.
20:02Ugh, I wanna kill Joey.
20:04Mylano style with poison.
20:05You and me both, sister.
20:07What did your mother think when you were tearing Brenda apart?
20:10She recognized the pattern?
20:11No.
20:12Because Brenda is the villain in my mother's story.
20:14Speaking of villains at awkward family dinners.
20:18I'm gonna say something, and if it's too far, just say the word.
20:21I was joking about the poison.
20:22No.
20:23Pivoting.
20:24Plan B.
20:25Oh, gotcha.
20:26We need to move on the NDA.
20:28What if you use the fact that your mom is here...
20:31Gather everyone together.
20:32...as an excuse to get into Senior's apartment to grab it?
20:34Yes.
20:35Okay, so I'm gonna ask Julian.
20:37No, you can't involve him.
20:38I'm not involving him.
20:39I just need to sell the family dinner plan.
20:42Sorry.
20:44It's residual anger from Joey.
20:46You wanna bring some of Edwin's lasagna?
20:49Senior, a potluck guy?
20:51You, you wanna have dinner with my dad?
20:54Mm-hmm.
20:54Why?
20:55For the kids.
20:57Family unity.
20:57Oh, oh.
20:58I don't buy it.
20:59You asked about an NDA.
21:00I said my dad probably keeps it in his home office.
21:03Is that what this is about?
21:06Why won't you tell me details?
21:08Because your dad watches you.
21:11So the less you know, the better.
21:16You wanna help?
21:17Why don't you help me with my case?
21:19Listen to this.
21:20Lionel, the market has changed and $4 a pound is the best I can do on the copper.
21:25If that's a deal breaker, call me.
21:26If I don't hear from you, I'll push ahead.
21:28The voice note was definitely delivered, so now I have to convince the jury that Lionel didn't hear it.
21:33Maybe a pop-up ad played?
21:35Do you have his data records?
21:38I can't believe I'm back here.
21:44We're back here.
21:48You okay?
21:50I think Lionel's pressured my mom to spend money.
21:53She has maxed out credit cards.
21:55She asked for help and I said yes.
21:57But I also told her that I am putting her on a financial plan.
21:59So rather than prepping for CVS, I get to sort through bank statements.
22:06But not tonight.
22:08Okay?
22:09You're exhausted.
22:10Physically and emotionally.
22:11Well, yeah.
22:11Because Lionel has...
22:12No, no, no, not because of Lionel.
22:18I thought my mom and I were not close because my dad and I were so tight.
22:26But he's dead now.
22:27And, you know, she doesn't even want to let me in.
22:31I know, I know.
22:34And I love you and I'm here.
22:38Okay?
22:42Guess I have to break my own patterns.
22:47Stop hoping.
22:49Accept my mom for who she is.
22:52Celeste Carlisle.
22:53Well, do either Lionel or Celeste Carlisle strike you as Pokemon people?
23:11Hi, Mrs. Kingston.
23:19I wasn't sure if you'd come.
23:20Well, when I accept an invitation, I show up.
23:25Edwin's about ten minutes behind.
23:27Traffic from Alfie School.
23:29Welcome, Mrs. Kingston.
23:31I'm Orlando.
23:32I'm Joey's sponsor.
23:33Just here to make sure he has some support.
23:37First, I'm really sorry I canceled.
23:40I just didn't think the dinner would be the right place to meet Alfie.
23:43And I wanted us to start off on the right foot like you said.
23:47Is that the truth or did you use?
23:50Valid question.
23:53He did not.
23:54Joey called me and I came over and we talked.
23:56And did you...
23:58Test him?
23:58Yes.
24:00I just got nervous.
24:02Because you and Mr. Kingston, you're intimidating.
24:06And all the rules and the say this, don't say that.
24:08So it's our fault that you didn't show up?
24:10Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't taking personal responsibility an important part of addiction recovery?
24:18See, this is...
24:20What?
24:21I'm just an addict.
24:24That's all you see.
24:25Well, that's not true.
24:30I...
24:30I also see you as my grandson's father.
24:34Yeah, but you don't want me to tell him anything about myself.
24:36You came to us for guidelines.
24:37Because Ellie always said things go better if you control the details.
24:41Otherwise, you're a bulldozer.
24:44I'm sorry.
24:45I just meant...
24:46You want to meet Alfie.
24:47Alfie wants to meet you.
24:48So let's think about the best way to make that happen.
24:51So he's not disappointed again.
25:09I was thinking...
25:11Already scared.
25:14You should take Alfie to meet Joey without me.
25:17What?
25:17It needs to go well, and, uh...
25:22Clearly, I'm the one he has a problem with.
25:25Madeline.
25:26I can't be in the same room right now.
25:27I feel naked.
25:34Twice, he's...
25:36Picked at his source between Ellie and me, how I failed her.
25:39I just can't let any of that affect Alfie.
25:44You were a wonderful mother.
25:45No, please.
25:46Let's only say true things.
25:49I am.
25:53I mean, I'll think about it.
25:55The start is important, like you said.
25:59Are you okay?
26:02Yeah.
26:04Only true things.
26:09I will be.
26:10Mr. Carlisle, on August 8th, did you hear the audio message left at 1.49 p.m. where you were told that the price of copper had increased?
26:23No, because on August 8th, my nephew Isaiah visited me, and he had my phone.
26:27Your Honor, I'd like to introduce into evidence Lionel's phone data records.
26:31At 1.43 p.m. on August 8th, your device made an in-app purchase on Pokemon Go.
26:38Then another was made at 2.12 p.m.
26:41Did you make these purchases under the username Pikachu Izzy215?
26:46Nope.
26:48That was Isaiah.
26:49Called and asked him last night.
26:51Said he accidentally deleted the voice note, too.
26:54Now, before you cry hearsay, the witness is willing to come forward and speak himself.
26:59But he is also 10.
27:00No problem.
27:01We'll accept this testimony.
27:02Okay, then.
27:06Your witness.
27:08Mr. Carlisle, did you show a promotional video to investors in the hope that they would give you the necessary funding?
27:15Yes.
27:16Let's watch it.
27:16I went from bedridden to pain-free.
27:25I can finally push my grandkids on the swing.
27:28I started running again.
27:31I feel 10 years younger.
27:33Amazing results.
27:35These were your patients?
27:36Everyone in this video used your product?
27:39Because we showed it to your ex-girlfriend, Brenda, and she recognized a couple of faces from that performance of Oklahoma you two saw.
27:46Hey, do Annie.
27:49Judd Frye.
27:51Will Parker.
27:52Curly McLean.
27:54Objection.
27:54Is there a question?
27:55There is.
27:57Did you pay these people to appear in your ads and say that they were your patients?
28:07Yes.
28:16How could you lie to me?
28:20Actors sell products on TV all the time.
28:22What you're referring to is called marketing.
28:24What you're doing is called medical fraud.
28:26Commercials have disclaimers.
28:28You had none.
28:28I never said anything that wasn't...
28:30Thank God you're dead to rights.
28:31Now my father's house is on the line.
28:32So if you can please just stop talking.
28:34No.
28:35You don't get to belittle me like you do with your mother.
28:37Lionel.
28:37Excuse me?
28:37Just go.
28:48I'm so sorry, Mom.
28:51I didn't want this to happen.
28:54I wish I'd been wrong about him.
29:01Officially Hail Maryland.
29:02We have to find some way to get around that video.
29:04Sometimes there is no good option because you're completely trapped by something you
29:07did because you had no choice.
29:09Are we still talking about Lionel?
29:10No.
29:11And I want to tell you what's happening, but I also don't want to tell you because I
29:14don't want you to feel implicated, so it's up to you.
29:16Do you want to know or no?
29:17Know what?
29:18That Senior asked me to spy on Julian.
29:20What?
29:21When?
29:21About six weeks ago.
29:23He asked me to take photos of Julian's date book.
29:26Senior said that he was worried that Julian was trying to poach clients, but I think it
29:30has something to do with the merger or the coup that everyone's talking about on Slack.
29:34I should tell Olympia, right?
29:36Just, just come clean.
29:38No.
29:38Don't.
29:40What?
29:41This is really bad, Sarah.
29:43You can't tell her.
29:51Hey, Cass.
29:54Welcome.
29:55Hey.
29:56Oh, it's been too long.
29:57Even though you look exactly the same.
30:00Oh, well, you're still sweet-talking exactly the same.
30:04Thanks for having us.
30:06Can you hear any scum about Eva's coup?
30:10You were with her last week.
30:12She probably dropped those nuns on me to keep me occupied.
30:15But don't worry.
30:16I'm gathering intel.
30:18Oh, um, I've got a legal dilemma.
30:21Can I pick your brain like I used to?
30:27So, what do you think?
30:30Lionel used dinner theater actors?
30:33From a play he took another woman to, who he scammed previously.
30:36It's clearly a pattern.
30:38Would you describe this pattern as a red flag?
30:42Lionel is a walking red flag.
30:44The warning signs are so obvious
30:46that the plaintiff should have noticed them.
30:51Good girl.
30:52You're brilliant.
30:53You mind if I call my team?
30:57Oh, listen.
30:58I have a new thing to try.
31:00The red flag defense.
31:02Boy, oh boy.
31:03That senior is a genius.
31:05Right?
31:06We argue that Brad should have seen the red flags
31:09before materially relying on Lionel's claims.
31:12Wowzers.
31:12Just tell me when I can stop pretending
31:14that we haven't been working
31:15on the red flag defense all afternoon.
31:17I'm here.
31:18Are you in his office?
31:20Mm-hmm.
31:21Have you actually found anything
31:22on the red flag front yet?
31:24Unfortunately, no.
31:25Go get that NDA.
31:26I'll stay on the line in case you need cover.
31:35Hi, Mom.
31:36Hang up the phone, please.
31:37This concerns my case, right?
31:39I'll call you back.
31:40I did not appreciate you calling Lionel
31:44a walking red flag in front of Julian's father.
31:47Okay, that's a legal term.
31:48Oh, please.
31:52I'm sorry.
31:53It was disrespectful.
31:55But Lionel does not get to talk about our relationship.
31:58Yeah, well, Lionel's been wrong about a lot of things,
32:00but not that.
32:02You make me feel small.
32:04There's a reason I didn't ask my big,
32:07hot-shot lawyer of the daughter for help.
32:10Especially after the last time.
32:13Let's start with the collection notices.
32:15Oh, no need.
32:16All taken care of.
32:18I called the bank,
32:18and we worked out a payment plan.
32:21You did?
32:23Yes, I did.
32:25Glad it's sorted out.
32:27Hey, did you tell your mom
32:28you got the CVS litigation spot?
32:30If I have to be outgunned by anyone.
32:36Julian helped you.
32:37Established a payment plan
32:39without embarrassing me
32:41or belittling me
32:43like you've done in this case,
32:45like your father did at home,
32:47like you learn how to do.
32:50Mom, I never realized...
32:52Yeah, because you both were so busy
32:54giving orders and fixing problems,
32:56you never listened to me.
32:59Lionel listens to me.
33:01Dinner's ready.
33:04Absolutely.
33:05Let's go.
33:07Did you help set the dinner table?
33:09Yes.
33:09You okay?
33:10Good.
33:10Come on, Corey.
33:11Mmm, smells good.
33:13Cook to myself.
33:14Oh.
33:17Are you okay?
33:19I'm working on it.
33:25So listening to Joey
33:27is going to make me feel, what,
33:29less exposed,
33:30less humiliated?
33:32I don't know.
33:33But you don't want to miss
33:34the first time they meet, right?
33:37I just don't trust myself.
33:40I want to stay out of it
33:42for Alfie.
33:44You don't think Alfie
33:45would want you there?
33:48In a perfect world.
33:50Well, then it's worth a try.
33:52Hoping it helps with my mom
33:53and her case.
33:56I'll talk to you in the morning.
33:57Okay, bye.
34:00Help!
34:01I appreciate you coming over so late.
34:04I don't want to be yelled at.
34:06You talk.
34:08I listen.
34:09Please.
34:10Look, I know using actives was wrong,
34:20but I'm the little guy, right?
34:23I don't have millions to invest
34:24in clinical trials,
34:25but I had a big idea,
34:27and if I didn't move quickly,
34:29someone was going to beat me to market,
34:31so I needed capital
34:32to get the product on the shelves.
34:34Does it indicate in the video
34:35that they aren't real patients?
34:37No, it doesn't.
34:39Did anyone question
34:41the testimonials in the video?
34:42Yes, Brad did.
34:44I played the video
34:45at an investor luncheon,
34:46and after Brad texted me
34:47that one of the patients
34:49was really selling it hard,
34:51asked me if the testimonials
34:52were all true.
34:53Objection, Your Honor.
34:54This is the first
34:55I'm hearing of this.
34:55That's between you
34:56and your client.
34:56Your Honor,
34:57I'd like to submit
34:58these text exchanges
34:59into evidence.
35:00Lionel,
35:01can you read that for me?
35:03Patient number three
35:03was a little over the top.
35:05Is she a real patient?
35:08And your reply?
35:09You have a point.
35:10Let me recut the video.
35:12Why'd you say it like that?
35:13Oh, you know,
35:14so I could neither confirm
35:15nor deny
35:16which Brad knew.
35:18Send me that thumbs up.
35:22The red flag doctrine
35:23is clear.
35:24Parties cannot question fraud,
35:26close their eyes,
35:27and then cry foul.
35:27Even if Lionel misled Brad,
35:29Brad is culpable too.
35:42I want to take
35:43accountability for myself.
35:48You're right.
35:50I did see you
35:51as just an addict
35:52because
35:55when drugs
35:57took over Ellie's life,
36:00I watched
36:02her disappear.
36:08But I don't even know you,
36:10and treating you
36:11like you're a problem
36:12and not a person,
36:14that's not okay.
36:15I wouldn't treat
36:16a client like that,
36:17and I shouldn't
36:19have done that to you.
36:22I appreciate that.
36:25So where are you from?
36:33Erie, Pennsylvania.
36:35Yeah, my pops
36:36is still there.
36:37My mom has
36:38her own troubles,
36:39so it's complicated.
36:41Yeah.
36:42My sister's cool, though.
36:45What's her name?
36:46Laura.
36:47She's like the golden child,
36:48you know,
36:48the one that's not a waste,
36:50you know.
36:51We reconnected
36:52while I was in rehab.
36:53Yeah, she's a teacher,
36:54has kids,
36:55super smart.
36:56Were you close
36:57when you were growing up?
36:58Oh, yeah.
36:59Yeah, until I was 14.
37:01I wanted to play music.
37:03I got mixed up
37:03with the wrong crowd.
37:05Well, you know.
37:08Is that how you met Ellie?
37:09Through music?
37:11Yeah.
37:12Yeah, I was in a band.
37:14I played the guitar.
37:16No.
37:16No.
37:16Look, I'm sorry
37:19about what I said
37:20about you being a bulldozer.
37:22No, it's all right.
37:23I mean,
37:23my daughter and I
37:24had a rocky relationship.
37:26I mean,
37:26you've heard
37:27all the stories,
37:29so I know
37:30what she thought of me.
37:31Smartest person
37:32she knew.
37:35Look,
37:35she said you were
37:36a hard ass
37:36and a control freak,
37:38all that.
37:39But she also said
37:40you made her
37:42the maddest
37:42because she loved
37:43you the most.
37:47And the biggest mistake
37:48she ever made
37:49was not listening to you.
37:52Granted,
37:53she was super high.
37:57That, too.
37:59What?
38:01Ellie said
38:02making you laugh
38:03was like winning a prize.
38:12Hi.
38:13Hi.
38:17I heard you like music.
38:19Yeah.
38:21We'll leave you to it.
38:27This was one of your mom's
38:28favorite songs.
38:33When you try your best
38:35but you don't succeed
38:36When you feel so tired
38:42but you can't sleep
38:45Stuck in reverse
38:49Lights will guide you home
39:01And ignite your bones
39:08And I will try
39:12To fix you
39:14You sure know me.
39:21One list of names
39:23For once with Shelly
39:24I got the deed
39:25right here
39:26Huey
39:30Huey
39:31Louie?
39:32Don't forget
39:33Screw Huey
39:34If I want a house
39:37in the Alps
39:37I'll buy it
39:38You want to know
39:39who you can trust?
39:41No one
39:41Especially me
39:44So you're staying
39:49with Lionel
39:49I love him
39:53Olympia
39:53He makes me laugh
39:55And live
39:56Because he dreams big
39:59And if sometimes
40:01It's too big
40:02Well
40:02He wasn't trying
40:04To hurt anybody
40:05And he only kept
40:07The details from me
40:08So I would be protected
40:09Hey
40:14Just want to say goodbye
40:16Before I head upstate
40:17Get home safely
40:19Look
40:22Lionel and I
40:23Are we going to do
40:23This whole spread
40:24For Christmas

40:25The kids up?
40:27I wish we could
40:28But you know
40:29I'm drowning
40:29At work this year
40:30Yeah
40:33Maybe next year
40:34Any chance
40:36You and Lionel
40:37Are free for the holidays?
40:39I will ask him
40:40But I love that
40:43You know
40:45Thank you so much
40:46For taking the case
40:48And winning the case
