FunTranscript
00:01The law firm Jacobson Moore hit documents that could have taken opioids off the market
00:06and saved our daughter's life.
00:08Talk to me about the mysterious Deborah Palmer.
00:10I moonlight as a mortuary cosmetologist.
00:14Senior had her sign an NDA.
00:16I was just tracing the hush money Senior paid to bury the Webrex's study.
00:20Senior must have funneled the money through his personal accounts.
00:23Yeah, is everything okay?
00:25I'm forgetting all kinds of things.
00:27I'm scared, son.
00:28Matlock.
00:29I don't trust her.
00:30I'm always happy to talk about Madeline Matlock.
00:32I haven't always been the nicest to you.
00:35You're a really good person, Maddie.
00:37I should not have fired you, Sarah.
00:39If you ever went back on my team, I'll take you in a second.
00:42I'll have to think it over.
00:44Joey's Alfie's father.
00:45I'm sorry I missed your call.
00:46Is everything okay?
00:47I had a craving and my sponsor's out of town, so I thought I'd call you.
00:51Would you want to talk to me through AI after I'm gone?
00:54I'd talk to Mom.
00:57Hi, Mom.
01:02There's no easy way to say this.
01:05We think your dad's using drugs again.
01:08That's why we're not going camping?
01:10Yes.
01:11We haven't heard from him for a few days, and neither has his sponsor.
01:15And the last time I saw Joey, he was struggling.
01:19Why?
01:20Because he admitted that he's known about you the whole time.
01:24What?
01:25Edwin.
01:25He deserves the truth.
01:27He knew about me?
01:28Since before you were born.
01:30He's simply not who we thought he was.
01:33Let's not turn this into a verdict yet, okay?
01:36We don't know what's going on.
01:37I don't care what's going on.
01:38He knew about me the whole time, and he lied.
01:40Exactly.
01:41End of story.
01:42Look, this is a very complicated situation.
01:44I just want to go to sleep.
01:45Can you guys go?
01:51What happened to Neutral?
01:52I don't want to be Neutral.
01:53The guy's a dirtbag.
01:54We're done with him.
01:55Joey is Alfie's father.
01:57And Alfie has been doing just fine without him all these years.
02:00Regardless, we have to think about it from all angles, including what Ellie would want.
02:05So you've had one conversation with an AI version of our daughter, and now you are ready to blow up
02:10all the boundaries we set?
02:12Edwin, that is not true.
02:14Oh, boy.
02:18You made the right call, Mom.
02:19Dad would just be more upset if you told him that we still talk.
02:22I know, and I hate lying to him, but shutting Joey out isn't the answer.
02:26I'm surprised Dad's taking such a hard line.
02:28He was always the softie.
02:29No kidding.
02:30I'm used to being the stubborn one.
02:31Well, I'm glad you said it and not me.
02:33In a corn maze.
02:35Oh, stop it.
02:36You still won't admit that you got us lost.
02:38The map was wrong.
02:39Okay, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
02:47You only remember that because I uploaded a video.
02:51You're just an AI program.
02:54Nobody's perfect.
02:59Oh, it's Olympia.
03:01We'll talk later.
03:03Did you find anything?
03:04Maybe.
03:05We went through my dad's accounting, and in 2010, there are all these weird charges paid to an entity known
03:11as EG.
03:13EG?
03:13Yep, found one charge for $75,000, another for $50,000.
03:17For personal grooming services.
03:20That's not manscaping.
03:21That's clear-cutting.
03:23Exactly.
03:23And it adds up to $350,000, which is the exact amount Preva was paid, all funneled through the same
03:30vendor.
03:30No billing address, no tax ID, just EG.
03:34Executive, glow up.
03:35Encrypted gains.
03:37I have an educated guess.
03:39Hi, you've reached Deborah Palmer at Eternal Glamour.
03:43If someone you love is dead, press 1.
03:45For personal beauty, press 2.
03:482.
03:49Deborah Palmer, this is Arthur P. Bench with the IRS.
03:54Your LLC is being audited for back taxes.
03:57You must reply to this phone call immediately.
03:59If you do not reply, you will be facing criminal consequences.
04:04If satisfied with your message.
04:06You're coming in a little hot, Arthur.
04:09Deborah Palmer is not Joey.
04:11We're trying to get a look at her books, not hang her for treason.
04:15Your note is received.
04:17And drop whatever accent you're doing, Meryl.
04:20I'm not doing an accent.
04:22It's a backstory of a hardscrabble upbringing and foreign travel.
04:28Do you think Joey's dead?
04:35Darling, I hope not.
04:37Should we call hospitals in case?
04:39I call them, and I'll call them again.
04:42Darling, it's the waiting, not hearing.
04:47It's the hardest.
04:48And then there's nothing we can do.
04:50Now, Sir Arthur P. Bench must have silence for his conversation with Deborah Palmer.
04:58The IRS agent tonight must relate to his hardscrabble backstory.
05:03Going again.
05:06Latte with oat milk and an extra shot?
05:10You know my coffee order?
05:11I had to ask Hunter.
05:14Have you given any more thought to my job offer?
05:17I know I sprung this on you, but with the merger closing in two weeks, I'm going to need an
05:20answer pretty soon.
05:21Of course.
05:22And I have been thinking about it a lot.
05:25And I talked it over with Julian, who has been so supportive, which makes it harder.
05:34Hunter, I'm going to need another day.
05:36Hey, morning.
05:38Hunter, I'll see you at nine.
05:40For Travis Lee, yeah, I saw it on the calendar, but I couldn't find a case file.
05:43Because he's not a client.
05:45I gave a guest lecture at an undergrad criminal justice class three years ago, and Travis was a student.
05:50He lost his father in a terrible hit and run.
05:52Never got solved.
05:53Thank you for meeting me, Professor Lawrence.
05:56Of course.
05:57I'm glad we can get you in.
05:58How's law school?
06:00I'm really enjoying it, ma'am.
06:02Good.
06:02And I know that your time is valuable, so I will speak quickly.
06:06This is the timeline for the night my dad was killed.
06:08This is the map.
06:09He and I fought at my house here.
06:11I left to go clear my head.
06:12He went to go find me, and he got hit here.
06:15The initial accident report showed skid marks from SUV tires and silver paint on a guardrail,
06:19so I cross-reference over SUV vehicle records in the area with reckless driving and DUI arrests,
06:24and I eventually zeroed in on a suspect, Michael Hammond.
06:27Could you slow down a little?
06:28Oh, I happen to be 108 years old.
06:31Sorry.
06:33The crash took place on a road between the neighborhood pub and Hammond's house,
06:38so I started scouring social media posts tagged from the pub the night of the accident,
06:42which there were a lot of because it was the World Series.
06:45That's when I found Hammond's car.
06:48One of the bartenders remembers Hammond leaving drunk right after Freddie Freeman hit a home run at 10.40 p
06:54.m., 11 minutes before my dad was hit,
06:56and I know Hammond did it.
06:59And you put all of this together?
07:01Yes, ma'am.
07:02Yeah, over the past few years.
07:03I thought it would be enough to get the DA to reopen the case, but it wasn't, so I filed
07:09a civil suit, pro se.
07:11The statute of limitations for a wrongful death suit?
07:13Already passed.
07:14I know.
07:15Well, that's why I'm here.
07:17I'm looking for a way to get around it, and I thought that you might have some advice for me
07:22very quickly because they filed a motion to dismiss, and the hearing is at 1 p.m.
07:28Today?
07:29Today?
07:29Yeah.
07:31Bruh.
07:33Michael Hammond's got a fancy lawyer, and they want my case tossed, and if I lose, it's over.
07:41There's no justice, and I owe it to my dad to see this out to the end.
07:48He was out on the road because of me.
07:52Someone has to be held accountable.
07:55What do you think, Professor Lawrence?
07:59The doctrine of fraudulent concealment, Your Honor.
08:01A defendant who covers up their wrongdoing holds the statute of limitations, and fleeing an accident, that is textbook concealment.
08:08My client didn't flee because he didn't hit anyone, nor was he intoxicated.
08:13We have proof that there was a DUI checkpoint between Brennan's pub and my client's home, a checkpoint he passed
08:18without incident.
08:19A white man driving a luxury SUV passing a DUI checkpoint?
08:22Color me shocked.
08:23There was also blood spatter on the guardrail.
08:26Wealthy, white, or not, a blood-soaked car isn't getting through a checkpoint.
08:30There is no case here.
08:31I'm sorry that the plaintiff lost his father, but he can't ruin my client's life just because he's looking for
08:36someone to blame.
08:37Ms. Lawrence, you're tolling arguments persuasive, but I'm concerned about whether you can back it up.
08:42I can assure you that.
08:43I don't want assurances. I want evidence. Evidence that defendant hit plaintiff's father and fled the scene.
08:49If not, I'm not only inclined to dismiss this case, but to sanction you and your firm for frivolous litigation.
08:56Are you comfortable with those terms?
09:02I believe in my client, and he deserves justice.
09:06If it was Hammond, he must have cleaned the blood off his car.
09:09I'll get Hunter to canvass all the late-night businesses between the bar and the checkpoint.
09:14Speaking of business, Deborah Palmer bought Edwin's IRS Act hook, line, and sinker.
09:19He's meeting her at her beauty bar Thursday.
09:23We've got her right where we want her.
09:25Howard Markston, please.
09:27Tell him that Deborah Palmer is here to see him.
09:30Your skin looks a little dry, honey.
09:33Luckily, I'm launching a skincare line.
09:42I knew Edwin came on to school.
09:51Deborah, as I live and breathe, you have an age today.
09:55Oh, what can I say, Howie? My products work.
09:58Let's go up to my office.
10:00My privacy.
10:11Oh, hi there.
10:15Hi.
10:15Sorry, I was coming to talk about a client lead.
10:18I didn't realize you had an appointment.
10:19No appointment, just a favor for an old friend.
10:22Deborah, this is my son, Julian.
10:24Oh, my gosh.
10:26Mr. Handsome and Mr. Handsomer.
10:29I'll let you two guess which is which.
10:31Oh, okay, yeah, we will.
10:34Deborah has a little tax issue she needs help with for her company.
10:38Eternal glamour, making you glow in this lifetime and the next.
10:43Remember when we came up with that slogan?
10:45I won't say where, but we both know where.
10:48What exactly was the tax issue?
10:51What is the tax issue?
10:55I've been going round and round in my head about this, and then I just thought, oh, who
11:00better to ask than my angel investor?
11:04You invested in Deborah's company?
11:06I got her set up with an LLC back in, uh, well, it would have been...
11:11Oh, 16 years ago.
11:14Oh, hard to believe.
11:16So, Mr. Handsomest, what do you say?
11:20Can you help a girl out?
11:21I really don't want to have to meet that IRS guy alone.
11:25He was really aggressive.
11:27My dad is pretty busy right now.
11:30I'd be happy to help.
11:32When's the meeting?
11:33Oh, well, the guy, Arthur, said that he would come to my beauty bar on Thursday, and he said
11:39to be prepared to open every single book.
11:42Oh, audits rarely go back more than six years.
11:45If they want anything before 2019, call me.
11:48Okay.
11:49And have Arthur come here.
11:50Home turf.
11:51More intimidating.
11:53Yes.
11:56Great idea.
11:57Um, Deborah, let's talk in my office.
12:00You don't have to ask me twice.
12:02How did a girl get so lucky?
12:06Son, thanks.
12:08I'd, uh, help her, but I don't trust my brain with all the numbers right now.
12:14I, I know, Dad.
12:15I'm happy to help.
12:16Shouldn't be any bumps.
12:18But, uh, if you find anything funny in our records, let me know before the auditor takes
12:24a look, okay?
12:26Okay.
12:34Arthur P. Bench, IRS.
12:37This is Julian Markston.
12:39I'm calling in regards to Deborah Palmer's audit.
12:42I will be representing her interests in this matter going forward.
12:45The first order of business is that the meeting Thursday will be held at Jacobson Moore.
12:50Non-negotiable.
12:52You tell him.
12:53Uh, can you and your client both hear me?
12:56Nope.
12:57You want me to come to the firm?
12:59Yes.
12:59End of discussion.
13:01But Shea works there.
13:03We met in Georgia.
13:05And Deborah can't see Maddie or Olympia.
13:07They were at the karaoke club.
13:09There's a lot at stake.
13:10I assure you, I have considered that.
13:13So I will see you here Thursday at three.
13:15Now, let's discuss the terms of the audit.
13:18You are not allowed to look at any document prior to 2019.
13:22Then how are you going to get her to bring them to the office so I can make copies?
13:27No, don't you worry.
13:28Documents going back 20 years will be in the building for me to refer to.
13:33But you will not be permitted to look at them under any circumstance.
13:35Hello, Mr. Hardball.
13:40I'm striking out at every turn.
13:42Did you check the gas stations?
13:43Yep.
13:43There's two between the crash site and the DUI checkpoint.
13:46Super well lit with cameras.
13:47If Michael stopped to wash blood off his car, someone would have noticed.
13:50What about the car washes?
13:51There's one along the route, and it was closed at the time of the crash.
13:55Hmm.
13:57Well, you're picturing it, aren't you?
13:59What?
14:00Getting your job back.
14:01I overheard Olympia's offer.
14:04Hunter, I'm sorry.
14:05Oh, it's all good.
14:06Just tell me in advance so I know if I should wear my nice suit.
14:08Well, if you have a nicer suit, you should be wearing it.
14:11And you are way too laid back about a decision that affects your job stability.
14:15I had to be flexible growing up.
14:18All right, let's hear it.
14:19Pro-con list.
14:20I don't have a list.
14:24Okay, I have a list.
14:25I knew it.
14:27Okay, well, pros, Olympia's cases are exciting, and it's really satisfying when we win.
14:35Cons, quality of life.
14:37Long hours at the computer has contributed to what I'm hoping is on a permanent net comp.
14:42With Olympia, it's like everything is an emergency, and not everything is a 911.
14:48That is a really good point, Sarah.
14:59Shea, there you are.
15:01Thanks for making time for coffee.
15:03Of course.
15:04You showed up for me, I'm happy to show up for you.
15:06Well, I appreciate that, but I don't want you to feel beholden to me.
15:09Just doing my job.
15:10Yeah, spit it out, Maddie.
15:11I have allotted five minutes for this yappuccino, and I am not flexible.
15:14Are you free for a late lunch Thursday?
15:16Say around 2.30?
15:18That's why you wanted to have coffee, to talk about lunch?
15:21Well, I didn't lay eyes on you.
15:22Make sure you're doing okay after the whole pool of blue.
15:26Yeah, I am.
15:28Good.
15:29Well, why don't we catch up over Dover, Seoul?
15:33No hidden agenda.
15:34Just girl talk.
15:38Have our dear Thursday, I'll be in court all afternoon, but another time?
15:42I'd love that.
15:44Okay.
15:48Thursday's timing worked out just great.
15:50Great.
15:51Hunter was just about to update me on the 911 logs.
15:54Well, no calls about a silver SUV the night of the crash, but the police non-emergency line got long.
15:59Good thinking.
16:00What'd you find?
16:00Well, owner of a tattoo shop along the route said an SUV was blocking the alley.
16:04Car was gone by the time parking enforcement got there.
16:06And did you call the tattoo shop?
16:08I did.
16:09Guy was a little grumpy.
16:10I thought an in-person meeting might be more effective.
16:12Maybe I'll even, uh, get some ink.
16:15Let my bad boy side out.
16:24Hey, man.
16:25That's from Jindro.
16:25Oh, sorry.
16:27It's just the needles and the sounds.
16:29I didn't expect to get dizzy.
16:31You want to cancel your consult?
16:32It was for me, actually.
16:34With Mr. Toad.
16:35Just Toad.
16:38Uh, apologies.
16:39Toad.
16:40You?
16:41Want to get a tattoo?
16:42Well, I want to talk about getting a tattoo.
16:45You staring because I'm old?
16:46Sure am.
16:48You staring because I'm tatted?
16:49Sure am.
16:50They painful?
16:51Yes, but so is life.
16:55At least with a tattoo, you got something to show for it.
16:58I like that.
17:00You want to ink it on my arm?
17:04So, what are you thinking about getting?
17:07Uh, I'm sorry.
17:08I have to answer.
17:12Aren't you safe?
17:13I am, yes.
17:15I'm back at home.
17:16I just came from a meeting.
17:18I'm so sorry.
17:20Um, can I come talk to you in person?
17:21If you're sober.
17:23I am.
17:24I promise.
17:25I'll call you.
17:33Tough road.
17:35It is.
17:37So, listen, I didn't come here for a tattoo.
17:39I'm shocked.
17:41Does the real reason have to do with a lawyer that called?
17:44Guilty.
17:45Can I ask you a question?
17:46Not before you answer mine.
17:48What's your tattoo?
17:49Oh, come on.
17:50I told you I'm not here for that.
17:51It doesn't matter.
17:51Everybody knows what their tattoo would be, even if they'd never get it.
17:54Um, a cat bird.
18:01What's a cat bird?
18:03My turn.
18:05You called the non-emergency police line.
18:07Game six of the 2021 World Series.
18:10Why?
18:11I've been thinking about that ever since the other lawyer called.
18:15One of my guys went out for a smoke.
18:17Said a SUV was blocking the alley.
18:20They asked him to move.
18:21He didn't.
18:21So, I went out myself and filmed the jerk in case things got heated.
18:25You have flittage?
18:26Still on my phone.
18:29Hey, man.
18:30You gotta clear out.
18:31Yeah, yeah.
18:32Um, okay.
18:34That is definitely Michael Hammond washing his car.
18:36And we definitely have a case.
18:39Sneaky pinky.
18:41Sneaky pinky.
18:46Well, I almost wound up with a tramp stamp for my troubles, but they should shut down their motion to
18:51dismiss.
18:52Ah, I gotta go and flimp.
18:54Yeah, the house is crawling with IRS agents.
18:56Have you heard?
18:58Arthur P. Bench is coming into Jacobson Moore on Thursday.
19:02Well, don't kiss me in public or you'll blow my cover.
19:05No, no.
19:06You sure heard me arguing with Julian about the terms of the audit.
19:10I held my ground like Coriolanus with a calculator.
19:14And Debra is bringing in receipts going back to 2005.
19:19Wow, tough crowd.
19:21Joey called.
19:23And he wants to talk to us in person.
19:25No.
19:25And I said yes.
19:26Madeline?
19:26We can't close the door on him.
19:28That's what we did with Ellie.
19:29And I've never stopped regretting it.
19:31Okay, if you want us to hear him out, fine.
19:34But I am not going to change my mind.
19:36I am not going back into the cycle.
19:38And he's going to be lying anyway.
19:42I'll remind you, Mr. Hammond.
19:44Depositions are under oath.
19:46So, is that you in this video?
19:49Yes, that's me.
19:52Why were you washing your car in a dark alley at 11 o'clock at night?
19:57I vomited.
19:58Food poisoning.
20:00I couldn't make it home, so I pulled over.
20:03Some of it got on the bumper, so I found the nearest hose and rinsed it off.
20:07Then I drove the rest of the way home.
20:09Can anyone corroborate your story?
20:11My ex-wife was asleep when I got home.
20:13My daughter was with her boyfriend.
20:14That's convenient.
20:15Travis.
20:16If the plaintiff is going to interject, we should recess.
20:18We're good.
20:19There won't be any further interruptions.
20:21I do share my client's skepticism.
20:24You sure it wasn't alcohol poisoning?
20:26I was not drinking and driving that night.
20:28I mean, you do have several DUIs.
20:33That was a very shameful period of my life, but I've changed.
20:37I'm grateful for a second chance.
20:39You know who didn't get a second chance?
20:40My dad, he didn't get a second chance.
20:41We're done with this deposition.
20:42Wait.
20:43Let's resume once you get a handle on your client.
20:45Go ahead.
20:45Hide behind your lawyer.
20:46You've been hiding all these years because you can't face what you did.
20:49Coward!
20:50Stop yelling at him.
20:51He's a good man.
20:52He left my dad to die.
20:53He's garbage.
20:54Don't raise your voice at my daughter.
20:56You show some respect.
20:57You deserve respect.
20:58Calm down.
20:59You deserve to go to jail.
21:01Hey, buddy.
21:03I'm sorry.
21:05I don't know what happened.
21:08Okay.
21:13Did you use?
21:17Yes.
21:21But I'm back on track and I have three days and I'm going to meetings and I'm so sorry.
21:28For what?
21:29Lying to us?
21:31Using again?
21:32Abandoning your infant son?
21:33All of it.
21:34And I want to make amends to you and to Alfie.
21:37You think I'd let you anywhere near Alfie?
21:39Come back when you've got a year and we'll talk.
21:40A year?
21:41He's just mad.
21:42You're damn right I'm mad.
21:43He's lied to us from day one.
21:45Because Ellie told me that I only had one chance with you.
21:48You're blaming your behavior on our dead daughter?
21:50No one is saying that, Edwin.
21:51You chose to lie.
21:53You chose to use.
21:54We gave you a chance.
21:56You threw it away.
21:57You don't deserve to be in Alfie's life.
21:59But I'm his father and I have rights.
22:02Rights?
22:02I don't give a damn about your rights.
22:04Look, that's enough.
22:06Joey, I think you should leave him just until everybody cools down.
22:14Whoa, that is not my conflict-averse pops.
22:17So weird, Elsbells.
22:18He's acting so out of character.
22:20Says the woman going back to a tattoo parlor at night.
22:24The bartender said Hammond was in a suit at the bar.
22:28And then at the tattoo shop he was wearing a high school rugby jersey.
22:32And his daughter's boyfriend is on the rugby team.
22:35You think the daughter helped him cover his tracks?
22:37Maybe he called her, had her meet him at the tattoo parlor.
22:40With the rugby shirt, since he vomited.
22:43Exactly.
22:44And then she drove home.
22:46And that's how they got through the DUI checkpoint.
22:48You really are like Matlock.
22:50I told you.
22:53Well, I gotta head out.
22:55Just be careful.
22:57Tattoo parlors get dicey after this late.
22:59Did you just...
23:00I heard it.
23:00I know you...
23:01I've become my mother.
23:02This is that moment.
23:04Grammy?
23:07Was that mom's voice?
23:13It is.
23:14I just made an AI version during my case last week.
23:17What?
23:18What?
23:19What's going on in here?
23:20She's talking to an AI version of mom.
23:22Can I talk to her?
23:23No, no.
23:25I don't...
23:25Not a good idea.
23:27Then why are you using it?
23:28Yeah.
23:29Why are you using it?
23:30I...
23:31I just had a question.
23:32Last week.
23:34I had another question.
23:36You're addicted?
23:38No, I'm not.
23:41It's over.
23:42I'll stop.
23:43I promise.
23:48Oh, look who it is.
23:52Gotham's soon-to-be painted lady.
23:54Less about getting inked, more about following up with you.
23:57Oh, I figured.
23:58But a dude can dream.
23:59And I have been.
24:01After you called, I took my shot at your, uh, cat bird.
24:05There.
24:08Oh.
24:11Oh, I am very touched.
24:14Oh, if you would not mind my sandsaw, his feathered whiskers make him look like William Howard Taft.
24:21And whenever you look at it, you think of whoever or whatever inspired the cat bird.
24:27My brother, Tuck, was a fly fisher.
24:30Taught me technique.
24:32Got this a few months after he died.
24:35So, he's always with me.
24:38Well, I can see the benefit in that.
24:40Well, you fire away with your follow-ups and I'll get this stencil on you.
24:43Oh, come on, now.
24:44Some people need a tattoo.
24:46I don't know why, but I feel like you're one of them.
24:50Well, I'll lie down, but I'm not doing it.
24:54It's the anthem of my marriage, by the way.
25:04The night that Michael's car was out back, did you notice a teenage girl?
25:09We were thinking his daughter was in the passenger seat.
25:12Could be a witness.
25:13I don't remember a teenage girl, but I didn't ever have eyes on the inside of the car.
25:18That door lays to the alley, right?
25:21But you went out the front door.
25:23Yeah, the dude had his vehicle against the wall.
25:25That door wouldn't open because it was bumping up against a bike that was mounted on the back.
25:31A bike?
25:33Sorry.
25:35Do you remember the color?
25:37Scarlett, can you tell us if this red bike is yours?
25:44I'm going to need a verbal yes or no for the court.
25:48Yes.
25:49And did you ride that bike to meet your father at the bar the night Mr. Lee was killed?
25:53Object to the form of the question.
25:54On what grounds?
25:55Or are you warning your client to answer carefully?
25:59Did your father have you meet him because he was too incapacitated to drive?
26:04Yes.
26:05Scarlett.
26:05I met my dad at the bar.
26:07I biked from my boyfriend's house.
26:09We drove home from there together.
26:11Who drove?
26:12Me.
26:13And it was dark.
26:14And there was no way I could see him on the side of the road.
26:17Damn, isn't Doug Lee?
26:18Yes.
26:19My dad started throwing up.
26:21And I was trying to help him.
26:23But when I leaned over, I lost control.
26:26And that's when I hit him.
26:27It's my fault.
26:29My drinking.
26:31She was 15.
26:33She was just trying to take care of me.
26:36But then she drove away, and you both hid what happened, which is a felony under the New York Penal
26:42Code, and charges will be brought.
26:45Are you okay, Tress?
26:47I need to get some hair.
26:54Blames himself is the problem.
26:56He thought once he found out what happened, the feeling would go away.
26:59But how do you stop a feeling?
27:02Maybe cold turkey.
27:05Like quitting drugs.
27:07You make a decision, and you keep reminding yourself why you made it.
27:11It's not easy.
27:12Insanely hard.
27:14But then the second day's easier than the first, and the third day's easier than the second, the fourth day's
27:19a hellscape, and on and on.
27:21And when you relapse?
27:23You go back to day one.
27:27And you start all over again.
27:29What other choice do you have?
27:30Hey, Hunter said you hit it up here.
27:36Ellie?
27:37I thought you stopped.
27:39That's so easy.
27:40I mean, I get to sit with my daughter.
27:42I get to talk to her.
27:45But it's not real.
27:47I know that.
27:50It doesn't matter, because it feels real.
27:53I don't have to worry about if she's going to use or if I'm going to lose her.
28:01Look.
28:03I have no experience with this.
28:06But as your friend who wants you to heal, I'm not sure if this is helping.
28:12I know.
28:15I just...
28:20I want to ask Ellie if she blames me.
28:26Then why haven't you?
28:29Then I won't have any reason to come back.
28:31And I don't want to say goodbye to her again.
28:38Is it almost time?
28:40Shea just left the court.
28:42Edwin arrives in 10 minutes.
28:44Is he clear on the plan?
28:46Well, we went over it this morning, and he's going to keep it simple.
28:51No threats.
28:53No accent.
28:54Either B-bench, IRS.
28:56They're expecting me.
28:57You'll keep senior occupied.
28:58I had to get on your schedule so we could talk plans for the twins' birthdays.
29:02We don't need him complicating anything when Debra Palmer arrives for the audit.
29:09Exactly when did you first start offering your embalming specials, Ms. Palmer?
29:142010.
29:15That's when I expanded into the living space.
29:18So then I needed to purchase all new ingredients that were only partially toxic.
29:24A reminder, we are focused on 2019 to the present.
29:28I'm not asking to see anything prior.
29:30I am asking to legitimize expenditures that were backlaid by undercuts and cash flow accounting.
29:37What does that mean?
29:40It means Arthur is focused on undercuts instead of general solvency.
29:44Young man, are you telling me how to do my job?
29:45Someone should.
29:46Julian!
29:47Because I am a proud member of the United States Internal Revenue Service for 43 years, 7 months, and 10
29:54days.
29:54Well, they whiffed on their hiring practices.
29:56Oh, you might want to think twice before insulting the only government agency that can get into your checking account
30:03as if it were a sock drawer.
30:05Now you're threatening to audit me?
30:07The IRS does not threaten.
30:09We act.
30:11Boys, boys, please.
30:13Why don't we just take a walk or something so you can just cool off, okay?
30:24Thanks for the muscle in there.
30:26Of course.
30:27I'm sorry I got a little heated.
30:29I did too.
30:30Should we take off all our clothes?
30:32I'm just kidding.
30:33Your dad would be serious.
30:36Unless he wouldn't be.
30:49You Markston men have the same chapped lips.
30:54I wasn't aware.
30:55Don't be embarrassed.
30:56I have a bomb that will change your life.
31:00Oh.
31:01Let me show you a before and after, because you're going to freak.
31:04Where is my phone?
31:06I swear it has little legs on it.
31:14Oh, pardon me, miss.
31:16Not at all.
31:38Debra?
31:40Debra?
32:04Sorry, Mr. Bench.
32:06I forgot my phone.
32:07Well, I hope your attorney has calmed down.
32:10He's getting there.
32:14Wait a minute.
32:36Now, please hide before Debra comes back.
32:41Oh, no.
32:43What?
33:01I know him.
33:03You do?
33:05I don't want to lie to you.
33:06So, I'm asking you, please don't ask more questions, Shay.
33:21Like I said, you showed up for me.
33:25I should look for you.
33:33Have you seen Olivia?
33:35Because her student client is crying in the stairwell.
33:39How?
33:55I'm sorry.
33:58I know I got what I wanted, the truth, and they'll both be charged, but I just had an intense
34:03panic attack, which happens with PTSD.
34:07That's what's going on.
34:11According to my therapist, yeah, I thought I'd had it handled, but I guess the case brought everything back.
34:17I feel like I'm 17 again.
34:19I'm yelling at my dad about my curfew.
34:21That's what we were arguing about.
34:24Over 30 stupid minutes.
34:28I hadn't walked out.
34:29You can't blame yourself, Travis.
34:33How do I stop?
34:39Cold turkey.
34:41Just make the decision.
34:45That works?
34:49I don't know, son.
34:51It's worth a try.
34:58Oh, what's going on, buddy?
35:02Oh, yeah.
35:03Um, I was just eating yogurt, and then my heart started beating really fast, and then I was kind of
35:09hyperventilating, so I think I just, I think I just had a panic attack.
35:13Or yogurt.
35:14Because you don't know who you should work for.
35:18Exactly.
35:18Well, what's the rush?
35:19You'll figure it out.
35:20Yeah, but I don't like not knowing.
35:23I always know.
35:24In high school, I aimed for college.
35:26In college, I aimed for law school.
35:28And then in law school, I aimed for Jacobson Moore.
35:30And then Olympia, and...
35:32Nah, you don't know.
35:33Which is hard, because you're addicted to goalposts and the hate you get when you clear one.
35:40So what should I do?
35:41Play dodgeball.
35:42Okay, I'd like to think you're joking, but that dopey grin tells me otherwise.
35:45Well, you'll know when you know.
35:46In the meantime, you gotta get rid of that nervous energy.
35:50You're in luck.
35:51Because I have an in with the captain of my dodgeball team.
35:54Oh?
35:54I'm the captain.
35:57Okay.
36:00Arthur, the accountant, came through.
36:05Olympia and Julian are knee-deep in Deborah's 2010 records, looking for the $350,000.
36:12I'm glad it worked.
36:15Have you come to your senses about Joey?
36:21Yeah.
36:22I've heard you yell a total of three times in our entire marriage.
36:30stubborn, strident, reactive, unforgiving.
36:35That's just not you.
36:38And I am trying to figure out why.
36:41And I think you have some PTSD from Ellie.
36:47Madeline, I have processed my grief.
36:51Yes, your grief.
36:52But you haven't handled your trauma.
36:57The relapses.
36:58The constant panic.
37:02Loving someone that intensely and hating them and fearing for them.
37:09That's a deep trauma, Edwin.
37:12It's PTSD.
37:14It was when Joey disappeared.
37:21I went back.
37:25To Ellie.
37:27I know.
37:31But Joey is not Ellie.
37:35And Alfie is no longer a baby.
37:40And I'm a different person, too.
37:47You held my hand when I was looking into the abyss.
38:00I just want what's best for Alfie.
38:05I know.
38:18You're out, Red 12.
38:21Same team.
38:21You're Red 12, remember?
38:23I never knew how satisfying you would feel to throw balls at people.
38:27Did you see that one guy who gave, like, two black eyes to?
38:29The referee?
38:30Yeah.
38:30You also set a new league record for yellow cards.
38:33The important thing is you know your move, right?
38:38Yeah.
38:39So I know you asked me for an answer.
38:44And my answer is that I don't know.
38:47And the merger is closing in two weeks.
38:50So I am going to take the full two weeks to decide.
38:56And I hope that you can respect that.
38:58Because I am worth the wait.
39:01I agree.
39:03I'll wait.
39:09I shouldn't have let things get so wet I had the other night.
39:13I'm sorry for everything.
39:14I really am.
39:18Hey.
39:26I'm sorry, Alfie.
39:30For not sticking around when I knew about you.
39:33For not being honest.
39:35But mostly I'm sorry about all the years I missed out on.
39:39I know what a great kid you are, Alfie.
39:42And my slip-up had nothing to do with you.
39:46But me being back here
39:49has everything to do with you.
40:02Come on.
40:13That sounds so sweet.
40:16It really was.
40:17A catbird moment.
40:19Truly.
40:20I remember that.
40:22I was seven.
40:23And I wanted to see a catbird so badly.
40:26You took me to that preserve.
40:28And when you saw that little gray bird, you burst into tears.
40:33Oh, it was just a boring bird.
40:36I thought it was going to be something special.
40:38No whiskers.
40:39No fur.
40:40False advertising.
40:41And catbird became our code for something special.
40:47Which is why...
40:52You didn't.
40:54Well, what do you want now?
40:57A tattoo.
40:58I need something to hold on to.
41:04It's a way to keep you with me always.
41:09Because I have to let you go again.
41:13As painful as that might be.
41:17I love you, Mom.
41:19I love you, Ellie.
41:34Any luck?
41:35It took a minute, but Maddie, we got what we needed.
41:38What do you mean?
41:39There is a cash withdrawal for $350,000,
41:42and it left her account the day before the wolf visited Priva.
41:45We got our proof.
41:47We've tied Senior to the hush money.
41:52Is everything okay?
41:56It's better than okay.
41:59Today feels like day one.
42:04Stay tuned.
42:05How does it feel?
42:06Get to the finish line.
42:07Next Thursday.
42:08Senior won't know what hit him.
42:10It's the two-hour season finale.
42:11They all knew.
42:12Two seasons in the making.
42:14The truth is coming out.
42:15This is your hero moment.
42:16The two-hour Matlock season finale.
42:18CBS next Thursday.
42:20Carrie Preston is...
