00:00Previously on Family Law.
00:01Our firms are going on a joint corporate retreat this weekend.
00:06I think you could lose Nelson from your team. No one would miss it.
00:10Then there's an obvious cut on your side as well.
00:12I can't believe I have to shill chocolate-covered almonds,
00:15even though my son is almost certainly not going on this trip.
00:18How can you rob your son of this experience after hearing about Barcelona?
00:23Troy is young. He's tech savvy.
00:25If that's a resignation letter, I'm not opening it.
00:27I look forward to getting to know you better over the weekend.
00:30Your hysterical ex and her ball-busting lawyer are going to drag this thing out forever.
00:34It's the not-so-thinly-veiled language of a misogynist.
00:37Abigail, this merger is going ahead.
00:40What line of work did you say you were in?
00:43Family Law.
01:01Abigail, thank you for my new pajamas.
01:03Thank you for wearing them.
01:05Oh, you look so professional.
01:08I can't believe you're already dressed and ready.
01:11I'm nervous for my first day.
01:13It's one week of work experience at your grandfather's firm.
01:17The stakes couldn't be lower.
01:18You fit right in at Svensson & Svensson, Sophia.
01:20Just remember, don't let anyone teach you how to make coffee.
01:23If you don't know how, they can't make you do it.
01:25A skill your mother has been dodging for 42 years and counting.
01:29It's so nice having breakfast with my grandma and grandpa together.
01:33Yes, it is.
01:34Although, kindly never call me the G-word again.
01:44Hi, Sophia.
01:45Hi, Winston.
01:45Come on, Soph.
01:47I'll introduce you to everyone.
01:48Absolutely not.
01:49This is my firm.
01:50I get to show off my granddaughter.
01:52Good luck.
01:55Cecile, you remember my granddaughter Sophia?
01:58She'll be working at the firm this week.
02:00Welcome to Svensson & Svensson.
02:01Thanks.
02:02You can keep your backpack in my office.
02:08Good morning, everyone.
02:11Feeling as invigorated from the retreat as I am?
02:18I was invigorated.
02:34I know you're upset about the merger, Abby, but you no need to leave a vandalized t-shirt
02:37on display like a severed horse head.
02:39First of all, I didn't take one of your propaganda shirts.
02:42And second of all, I've made my peace with the merger.
02:46You don't make peace with anything.
02:47Oh, what?
02:48Coffee spill.
02:52This retreat was meant to bring people together.
02:54Why is everyone so upset?
02:55It was lip service.
02:56People don't feel heard.
02:59I hear people all day long.
03:02I've been in a fog since Roy passed.
03:05I barely move.
03:07The thought of a shower feels impossible.
03:11Losing a partner is a devastating experience.
03:15Survivor reactions or fight, flight, or freeze.
03:19You're frozen right now.
03:21I'm useless.
03:22Christian, you spent the last two years caring for Roy through a brutal battle with cancer.
03:29Your whole world has changed.
03:32Go easy on yourself.
03:34Rituals are helpful in the healing process.
03:36Have you spread Roy's ashes yet?
03:41Roy's sister swooped into town and took over everything.
03:46She locked me out of the house.
03:48How is that even possible?
03:50She's the executor of Roy's estate and this old beneficiary.
03:53There's nothing I can do.
03:56Oh, there's something you can do.
04:00You need to meet my sister.
04:02You can't prove it.
04:03Oh, oh.
04:04You got nothing legit.
04:06Oh, oh.
04:07The glove don't fit.
04:08Oh, oh.
04:09You got it equipped.
04:10Oh, oh.
04:11The charges won't stick cause
04:13I ain't no sucker.
04:15Ain't your lollipop.
04:17But you can't kiss my sweet, uh-huh.
04:20Never gonna stop.
04:21Never gonna stop.
04:22Never gonna stop.
04:23Never gonna stop.
04:23Never gonna stop.
04:23You can't prove it.
04:25Oh, oh.
04:28Let me get this straight.
04:29Roy's sister never came to visit him once while he was sick,
04:33and then flew in from Alberta two days after he died
04:36and told you to get out of the house.
04:39A sheriff showed up at the door and ordered me to leave.
04:42I didn't even have time to pack my things.
04:45Do you have any idea why Roy didn't update his will?
04:49Roy and I made a pact to stay positive.
04:52We never gave up on him getting better.
04:55Talking about his will would've felt like we were giving up hope.
04:58Well, from what you've told me,
05:00I believe you're entitled to a share of Roy's estate.
05:03Honestly, I don't care about the money or the stuff.
05:05The only thing that is important to me is Roy's ashes.
05:10I'll get Bonnie in and explain to her politely how the law works.
05:16We'll get this sorted.
05:20We need to scan the paper files in these boxes
05:25and get them organized on our server.
05:28You can do it on my phone.
05:29I'll leave you to it.
05:36No, no, no.
05:38At Svensson and Svensson, we scan using this.
05:45Got it.
05:46I'll just stick around till you get the hang of it.
05:48It's one button.
05:50These machines jam up.
05:52I was going to use my phone.
05:57If you don't mind sharing, can I ask what they're paying you?
06:01I'm doing my 30 hours of work experience for school credit.
06:05So you're getting paid?
06:06Nothing.
06:08Interesting.
06:09Okay, Cecil.
06:10Time for a juice box.
06:16How's it possible you're threatened by a teenage volunteer?
06:21The Peterson paralegal makes six grand more than me.
06:24The fact that I'm cheap is all I've got going for me in the layoffs.
06:27Don't we got the boss's granddaughter doing my job for free?
06:29I'm toast, Winston.
06:31If the Peterson paralegal makes more than you, that means you're underpaid.
06:34You need to ask Daniel for a raise.
06:36Were you not listening to anything I just said?
06:38You're selling yourself short.
06:39What if asking for a raise gives Daniel the ammo he needs to fire me?
06:42Cecil, you are an asset to the firm.
06:45If Daniel doesn't see that, he doesn't deserve you.
06:50This idea is making me dizzy.
06:51I need another juice box crayon apple this time, please.
07:01Thank you for showing Sophia the ropes.
07:04Oh, it's helpful to have her here this week.
07:06We need an extra set of capable hands to get everything digitized for the merger.
07:10I've been meaning to ask you, how are things going with Christina?
07:13Fine.
07:14And how is your little granddaughter?
07:17Lila is great.
07:20Have you reviewed the terms for my severance package?
07:24I have.
07:25Those are confident numbers.
07:27I know my worth.
07:28As do I.
07:29I'm not going to negotiate with you.
07:32Terms accepted.
07:34Does Daniel know I'm leaving?
07:37Not yet.
07:39I'll inform him that we've reached a deal.
07:42I'm sorry for the way this has played out.
07:47So am I.
07:49I'm going to see how Sophia is getting on.
07:58I know.
07:58Hello, darling.
08:03I'll be right there.
08:07Afternoon.
08:08What brings you in today, Ryder?
08:09I want to sue my mom.
08:13On what grounds?
08:14She posted like a million embarrassing videos of me online when I was a kid.
08:18Without my consent.
08:19You don't need consent to record your own kid.
08:21Lots of parents post on social media.
08:23This is different.
08:24Mine's a momfluencer.
08:28This is me, age 10.
08:31Parkour, parkour!
08:34My nuggets!
08:35You're the hardcore parkour kid.
08:36That first video went viral.
08:39Once my mom started making ad revenue, she wanted me to do more and more
08:42fail videos wearing the stupid cape.
08:45I hated it.
08:47Did you try telling her no?
08:48Could you tell your parents no when you were a kid?
08:50When I got older, she started recording me without me knowing.
08:56I feel so good.
08:58Mom, you're so pretty.
09:01My pants are wet.
09:04I just got my appendix out.
09:06When I was still out of it, my mom put the cape on me and shot this for her vlog.
09:1318 million views.
09:14I was bullied at school, harassed on the bus.
09:17People still yell at me on the street asking where my cape is.
09:21That sounds awful.
09:22Ryder, I'm sorry.
09:24But these videos were taken a number of years ago.
09:26Why do you want to sue your mom now?
09:27I thought the stigma would fade as I got older.
09:30And people would forget.
09:33But last month was the 10 year anniversary of the first video.
09:37Where is the hardcore parkour kid now?
09:41I just want to be Ryder Metzger.
09:44My mom made that impossible.
09:47My nuggets!
09:48You probably have a case for intentional affliction of emotional distress and unjust enrichment.
09:53So glad my kids grew up without the world wide web.
09:56I will never put my child's image online.
09:58My parenting agreement with Maggie has a no posting clause baked in.
10:02My parents had no problem putting my bare bum all over the internet for the pedos to find.
10:06It was a different time.
10:08We didn't know the consequences back then.
10:11When JoJo was pregnant, she smoked cigarettes so I'd be small.
10:15Sophia, would you mind brewing a fresh pot of coffee?
10:18Sorry, Uncle Daniel. I don't know how, but I'd be happy to do a coffee run.
10:24I've got a meeting.
10:25How'd it go with Christian? Do you think he has a case?
10:28I do.
10:29Roy's sister and her lawyer are coming in tomorrow.
10:32Thanks.
10:35She was sipping a martini on the stern of her boat when, boom, aneurysm.
10:41She was pronounced dead on the dock when they got to shore.
10:46I can't believe my best friend is gone.
10:52Gabby Lipton was your best friend?
10:55Oh.
10:57There, there.
10:59There, there.
11:15Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
11:27Sorry, your best friend died, JoJo.
11:29Oh, thank you, sweetheart.
11:32I'm just upset that Gabby and I were in the middle of a silly spat.
11:36Good morning.
11:38Oh, Harry, you can't wear navy to a funeral.
11:42You'll have to go change into proper mourning attire.
11:46I'm gonna go get in the shower.
11:50You had no intention of going to that funeral, did you?
11:53I'll tell everyone at work you say hi.
12:01Even if Roy didn't update his will to reflect his relationship with my client, it doesn't change the fact that
12:07Christian, as his common-law spouse, is entitled spouse.
12:13No.
12:14He's making this up to get my brother's money.
12:17How could you say that?
12:19As far as my client is concerned, there was no romantic relationship between Christian and Roy.
12:24How could there be?
12:26My brother wasn't gay.
12:38Is it possible Bonnie really didn't know her brother was gay?
12:41No.
12:43Roy came out to her a year and a half ago.
12:45He was too scared to do it in person, so he sent an email.
12:47I never read it, but...
12:50Roy said it was not well received.
12:53I imagine her lawyer warned her that any whiff of homophobia would be a bad look.
12:58He was in court, so he's grasping at straws with this scam angle.
13:01I need you to gather evidence that proves you and Roy were in a marriage-like relationship, okay?
13:06Photos, texts, tax filings, testimonials, can you do that?
13:11Yeah, this thought of court makes me sick.
13:14She may be poisonous, but she's still Roy's sister.
13:18Hopefully, we can drown the opposition in documents during discovery.
13:22In which case, Colin may advise Bonnie to settle out of court.
13:25Or, better yet, Bonnie sees irrefutable evidence with her own two eyes and comes around herself.
13:34Yeah.
13:38I can't believe she won't acknowledge her brother was gay.
13:42Gay blinders.
13:45My mom believed Bowen was my roommate even after she saw we lived in a one-bedroom.
13:49People need to get over it. Everyone at my school is basically mine.
13:52Okay.
13:53Ms. Bianchi, I emailed you a list of five-star contractors and Granville Master Builders has the best reviews by
14:00far.
14:01Did you get a house without letting me see it first?
14:03No. Of course not.
14:06I'm just being proactive.
14:08May I have everyone's attention?
14:13I understand some of you may be struggling during this time of transition.
14:18As managing partner of this firm, it's important to me that my employees are happy.
14:23I know not everyone feels comfortable coming to the boss with concerns.
14:27For that reason, I have created a suggestion box.
14:32Staff can now anonymously offer comments, negative or positive.
14:37Don't be shy to tell us what we're doing right. I'll go first.
14:40I love seeing everyone's happy faces when I arrive at work.
14:48Putting that in.
14:49Your feedback is important to us and your suggestions will be taken seriously.
14:56Don't even think about it, Abigail.
14:58He's practically handing this to me on a silver platter.
15:01There is no way this ends well.
15:04This is the perfect time to ask Daniel for a raise.
15:07I'm not ready.
15:08We practiced for an hour and a half last night.
15:10Go.
15:12Alright.
15:21Wasn't a good time. He's preparing for a meeting.
15:33The way this ends well.
15:33Intentional affliction of emotional distress?
15:36You can't be serious.
15:37My client has suffered long-term psychological damage.
15:39Because his mother posted some cute clips of him when he was a kid?
15:42They weren't cute. They were humiliating.
15:44But I just wanted to share with the world how adorable my son was.
15:48You exploited your son for profit.
15:50Ryder, you were ten, begging me for glow-in-the-dark sneakers for months.
15:56All the boys in my grade have fluorescent sneakers.
15:58They turn the lights off in the gym and everyone glows but me.
16:02I explained, I can't afford them.
16:05We're poor.
16:06You yelled, don't be poor then.
16:10What did we do when I cashed my first ad revenue check?
16:14We went straight to Runglow.
16:16Bought the sneakers.
16:19Thank you for the sneakers.
16:21Ms. Mesger, don't you see the irony?
16:24You were keenly aware of how image conscious your son was,
16:28yet you promoted his fails.
16:29All the shiny shoes in the world would counter that.
16:31I'm a single mother. The channel was my sole source of income.
16:35It bought us a house, a car.
16:39I gave Ryder the upbringing I never had.
16:43Your sole source of income.
16:45You made hundreds of thousands from your son's humiliation.
16:48He was the one on camera, yet he never saw a dime.
16:52Hope we can settle.
16:58You don't have a case.
16:59But we would accept a withdrawal of your claim.
17:02That's not gonna happen.
17:08I prepared everything Christian sent over for discovery.
17:12And?
17:14Christian and Roy were clearly in a relationship.
17:16What was the relationship marriage like?
17:17Well, they didn't wear wedding bands.
17:20They kept separate bank accounts,
17:21and Christian was still paying rent on his old apartment.
17:24But they look super happy in the photos, though.
17:34Gabby always did throw the most lavish parties.
17:38Her funeral was no exception.
17:39It certainly wasn't Rolls Royce, Hearst, Gospel Choir, Sarah May,
17:45and that funeral portrait.
17:47Well, that was overly airbrushed.
17:52It really was a wonderful service.
17:55She would have loved it.
17:58I wish I could have spoken.
18:00Gabby knew an open mic would have her gin-fueled ex-husbands
18:04lining up to air their grievances.
18:07She was a wise woman.
18:11Was she, though?
18:14Yes.
18:16I think you're idealizing the dead.
18:19Her favorite activities were shopping, gossiping, and boozy brunching.
18:23Wise isn't the first descriptor that comes to mind.
18:27Those are my favorite activities.
18:30Are you saying that I'm stupid, too?
18:32Of course not. I only meant...
18:35You were adamant you were never going to speak to her again.
18:39Obviously, I didn't mean that.
18:41I don't even remember what I was so angry about.
18:43She made a move on me.
18:45Which she had every right to do.
18:47You were single. Don't you dare judge Gabby for that.
18:50You said she was dead to you.
18:52To me? I didn't want her actually dead.
18:55No one suggested that.
18:56Gabby was my best friend.
18:58So you said.
19:00Oh, you are clueless.
19:02You have always been clueless.
19:04I think we need some time apart.
19:14Okay, great. Thanks, Winston.
19:16I've got to go on meeting with that contractor you recommended.
19:19Okay, bye.
19:25Barthelona?
19:27Chocolate Almond Man.
19:38So, I'm surprised that you sent your son to France after the picture that you painted.
19:42I surprised myself.
19:43But it turned out to be just what Nico needed.
19:46Has he assimilated to Parisian culture?
19:49By that, do you mean does he now wear a beret at all times?
19:54Obviously.
19:54Then yes.
19:56Did you hear about the kids' Louvre adventure?
19:58Yeah, Eloise told me that Madame Gail told them to go do some independent learning because she wanted to flirt
20:03with Mona Lisa's security guard.
20:05Three hours of self-guided study in the Renaissance era.
20:08My son's art history takeaway was boobs.
20:13So is this going to be a money pit?
20:15No.
20:16Although these pipes have been leaking for a while so you are going to have to replace the floorboards.
20:20But it's not a big deal.
20:22I can have an estimate to you in a few days.
20:24Oh, and I'd get a few fans in here until then to try to drive the place out.
20:28Yeah.
20:38Roy and I grew up in small conservative towns.
20:41There is a reason we both ended up in Vancouver.
20:43I guess I have gotten used to acceptance as being the norm.
20:47That's a testament to the great job you and Roy did finding community.
20:52Seeing the disgust in Bonnie's eyes just brought me right back to the shame I felt as a boy.
20:59I don't know how I'm going to face her in court.
21:01Then don't.
21:03Cross your eyes so she's blurry.
21:05Tune her voice out so she's just noise.
21:07Like Charlie Brown's teacher.
21:12That's pretty good.
21:14I'll be supporting you from the gallery the whole time.
21:16I promise.
21:25Real mature, Abby.
21:28Next time you plan a corporate retreat, don't.
21:31To be the face of the firm, first remove head from ass.
21:35Your lycra shorts make the office smell like sweaty bike butt?
21:38What?
21:39I don't have time for this.
21:40I'm due in court.
21:41Your brother is trying to do a good thing.
21:44I'm doing right.
21:45That last one.
21:46That was me.
21:48Good morning.
21:49Good morning.
21:52Tell me, that sky really lights up your eyes.
21:54Is it new?
21:55No.
21:58Abigail, may I have a word?
22:05Gabby was her sworn enemy.
22:07Now Gabby was her best friend.
22:09It's called a frenemy.
22:10I merely suggested that Gabby wasn't that bosom a buddy.
22:14Why would you say that right after she died?
22:17To make her feel less sad about the loss.
22:20I don't understand why your mother is so upset.
22:22Her younger friend just dropped dead.
22:25Miss, don't you dare call me the G word, is probably realizing that no matter how much she wants to
22:29believe it, none of us are immortal.
22:31Including her.
22:39Rider disoriented after surgery.
22:41Rider writhing on the ground with a stomach ache after Ms. Mesker dared him to eat an entire fudge cake.
22:47Rider crying because his mom told him she gave away his cat.
22:51Your Honor, my client has been traumatized by these humiliating videos Ms. Mesker made and shared without his consent.
22:58Rider was never in on the joke.
23:00He was the joke.
23:02Counsel rests.
23:04Your Honor,
23:06If the plaintiff isn't in on the joke and so traumatized by these videos,
23:12why did he voluntarily dress up as hardcore parkour at fan events?
23:19Objection.
23:20This photo wasn't disclosed in Discovery. I request an adjournment to review the evidence.
23:24It's a photo. What's to review? Overruled.
23:27It's not just a photo. It's hundreds of photos.
23:33Mr. Mesker has made appearances at 11 fan conventions to date.
23:38Objection. Prejudicial.
23:39Rider's participation in these events is not incongruent with his pain and suffering.
23:43My client is a victim of circumstance looking for agency.
23:47Sustained.
23:48Except he didn't just get agency. He got paid.
23:51On average, 10k a pop for these photo ops.
23:57So did my client ruin her son's life? Or set him up for life?
24:02With all due respect, you can't have it both ways.
24:08I was totally blindsided.
24:10I'm not surprised Rider's doing fan conventions for money.
24:14He probably can't get a real job because of the videos.
24:17I have friends who can't get hired because there are photos of them online puking at a party.
24:21Harry hired Abby after.
24:23Her puking video?
24:24Kind of a low blow, Uncle Daniel.
24:26Still doesn't explain why you didn't get fired after the talking pug video went viral, though.
24:31You're both nepo babies. Mystery solved.
24:34She's right. I read the Times article, and I know what that means.
24:41I'm in court for the rest of the day, Soph.
24:42I'll bus home. See you for dinner.
24:44Have your friends really lost out on jobs because of stupid stuff they posted online?
24:48My friend Justin couldn't get an interview at Pizza's Inn
24:51because the manager found a video of him mooning a tour bus from three years ago.
24:55He was 14 when he did it, but it didn't matter.
25:00There is an abundance of evidence that my client and Roy Isham were in a marriage-like relationship.
25:07We have photos, testimonies from friends, an affidavit from Roy's oncologist stating that Christian attended all medical appointments and was
25:16a tireless advocate.
25:18In sickness and in health.
25:21Till death do us part.
25:23Christian and Roy honored the vows of marriage.
25:27Your Honor, my client was a devoted spouse.
25:29We ask that the distribution of Roy Isham's estate reflect that.
25:34Counsel rests.
25:39Your Honor, I'd like to call Christian Keller to the stand.
25:51Mr. Keller, when did you find out Mr. Isham had lung cancer?
25:56He was diagnosed two weeks after our first date.
25:59May I ask why you chose to pursue a relationship with a dying man?
26:02We thought we could beat it.
26:04But honestly, I was in love.
26:08I'd take whatever time I could get with Roy.
26:11Mr. Keller, who's Chad?
26:15I don't know.
26:17How about Rick?
26:19Objection. Relevance?
26:21Overruled. Please answer the question.
26:24Um...
26:26Early on, Roy became too ill for sex.
26:31And he encouraged me to seek intimacy outside of the relationship.
26:38I did end up having maybe three or four one-off encounters with Roy's blessing.
26:46And where did these rendezvous happen?
26:49At my place.
26:49With Roy there?
26:51No. No, I never gave notice on my apartment when I moved in with Roy.
26:56I met my dates there.
26:58Wow. So, they had separate residences?
27:02Objection! For all intents and purposes, they were cohabiting.
27:05They didn't have sexual relations.
27:07They didn't enter the union with the intention of longevity.
27:09This wasn't a marriage-like relationship.
27:11This was one man preying on a dying man for a long-game payout.
27:19Nothing further, Your Honor.
27:22All right, that is enough for today.
27:24Court is adjourned until Thursday, 10 a.m.
27:32You're welcome.
27:36You're welcome.
27:36Colin's a bully.
27:37And most of what came out of his mouth was garbage legal grandstanding.
27:40Never mind a gross invasion of privacy.
27:43This isn't over.
27:43It is over.
27:45I can't do this.
27:46I'm out.
27:47Just drop the case.
28:00This feels so wrong.
28:01I never should have prodded Christian into legal action.
28:04No, I meant giving up.
28:05I'm gonna get him back on board.
28:07Don't push it, Abby. He isn't ready.
28:08We can revisit this later.
28:10There's a time limit for making a will-variation claim.
28:12We're mid-trial.
28:13It's now or never.
28:14It has to come from him.
28:22I didn't know it was possible to get every single order right.
28:26Jerry, with an I.
28:28Even our names are spelled correctly.
28:30Not all heroes wear capes.
28:32Caffeinated and ruddy skin.
28:39She just can't pass up an opportunity to make me look bad, can she?
28:43Let's channel that misguided indignation into the task at hand.
28:47Go get that raise.
28:54Here's your coffee, Mr. Svensson.
28:56You might notice that your name is spelled right.
29:00Remember when I got you this bobblehead?
29:02Pretty cool, right?
29:04I'm glad you're here.
29:05I need you on this momfluencer case.
29:07I got an employer who says he didn't hire Ryder because of his internet infamy.
29:11He's unable to attend court, but he's willing to swear an affidavit.
29:18Happy to serve.
29:19I need it today.
29:20Actually, I came in here because I wanted to ask you about...
29:24Better hustle.
29:24Guys in Langley.
29:25It's at least an hour each way.
29:26Probably longer this time of day.
29:33You didn't even ask, did you?
29:35Sometimes the reward for hard work is more work.
29:38No, Cecil.
29:39It's more money.
29:40The reward for hard work is more money.
29:44So here's a breakdown of the quote.
29:48Could have just emailed it.
29:49Well, I just, you know, I wanted to walk you through it.
29:52Spent all my day in dusty spaces with sweaty men.
29:55Take any excuse I can to clear my nasal passages and talk to...
29:59Yeah, not a sweaty man.
30:03I'll leave that with you.
30:04You're getting other quotes, no doubt, as you should.
30:06No, this looks good. I want you.
30:08I mean, I want to work with you.
30:14I want to work with you, too.
30:20Jerry, could you use two tickets to the game tonight?
30:23No, thank you.
30:25They're good seats?
30:30They're great seats.
30:32Sure you don't want to take Joanne?
30:34She's, um, unhappy with me.
30:39Sure, I'll use the tickets.
30:43Great.
30:45Go pack up.
30:47We're going together.
30:57The fact that he wasn't there for me when I needed him the most.
31:01Boys are oblivious.
31:02I'm seriously questioning the entire relationship.
31:05Don't say that, JoJo.
31:06Hmm?
31:07Harry tried to be there for you.
31:09He just sucks at it.
31:11I haven't heard from your father.
31:13Because you said you needed space.
31:15I don't want to hear it.
31:16I've seen this song and dance too many times.
31:19So you're saying it's my fault that he couldn't meet my emotional needs?
31:22I'm saying you love the drama.
31:25You break up to make up.
31:26You did it with Gabby.
31:27You do it with Harry.
31:28It's not the same.
31:30No, it's not.
31:32What if Harry has a brain aneurysm while you're not speaking to him?
31:35Oh, and I'm the dramatic one.
31:47Your Honor, I'd like to submit into evidence an affidavit from an employer testifying that he decided not to hire
31:52a rider because he didn't want his business associated with the hardcore parkour kid.
31:57Objection.
31:58Relevance.
31:59I'll allow it.
32:01He has no choice but to accept work as his online persona because no one takes the real rider seriously.
32:08Ms. Mesger has made a very comfortable living for herself off of her son's image.
32:11Meanwhile, Rider suffers the consequences, both personally and professionally.
32:15He continues to be stigmatized, harassed, abused.
32:20Every young adult deserves a chance to figure out who they are and find their place in the world.
32:24Ms. Mesger stole that from her son.
32:30You ever thought about law school?
32:31We could be colleagues one day.
32:33Hard pass.
32:34Just won my first personal injury case.
32:37Congratulations!
32:38I'm happy my 17-year-old daughter could help you with your legal argument.
32:42I'm not surprised.
32:43Sophia is a brilliant thinker and a breath of fresh air around here.
32:49Christian!
32:53I want to keep fighting.
32:55What made you change your mind?
32:56Well, I learned from one of Roy's co-workers that Bonnie held a memorial last night.
33:00I wasn't invited.
33:01That's awful.
33:02Apparently, she wants to take Roy's ashes to Alberta to be interred in the family plot.
33:08Roy hated it there.
33:10His final resting spot cannot be next to his homophobic family.
33:14The ocean was his happy place.
33:18He wanted his ashes scattered at sea.
33:20Now, I know this is a long shot, but I owe it to Roy to do everything in my power
33:25to have his wishes honored.
33:27Can you get me access to Roy's email account?
33:33Mrs. Blackwood, why did you and Roy stop communicating?
33:37I don't remember.
33:39Really?
33:40You don't remember when your brother told you he was gay?
33:42Objection.
33:44Asked and answered.
33:45I'll allow it.
33:46My brother wasn't gay.
33:49Maybe this will refresh your memory.
33:52It's an email Roy sent to you a year and a half ago.
33:56I know what it is.
33:57Oh, good.
33:59Can you read it out loud for the court, please?
34:02Do I have to?
34:03Yes.
34:10Hi, Bon.
34:12I write to you with wonderful news.
34:15I'm in love.
34:16With a man.
34:18His name is Christian.
34:19He's the funniest, smartest, most tender human I've ever met.
34:26He also loves Jeopardy, but please don't hold that against him.
34:31I suspect this might be a lot to take in, so I will leave it at that for now.
34:35I hope you can be happy for me because I'm happy.
34:41The happiest I've ever been, and I'm dying.
34:43So that says a lot.
34:49Your baby brother, Roy.
34:52I ask the court to recognize Christian's relationship with Mr. Isham, vary the will, and return his partner's ashes to
35:00him.
35:05You can go back to your seat.
35:12My condolences for the loss of your partner, Mr. Keller.
35:16Mr. Isham was very lucky to have you by his side during his illness.
35:19You clearly cared for each other deeply.
35:23That being said, the relationship does not meet the legal test for marriage-like.
35:29Your claim to vary the will and last testament of Roy Isham is dismissed.
35:33However, I order Mrs. Blackwood to permit Mr. Keller access to the house so that he may collect his personal
35:39belongings.
35:40And the ashes?
35:43Mrs. Blackwood is the executor of the estate. They are her property.
35:46Mrs. Blackwood is the executor of the malays.
35:49Mrs. Blackwood is the Emilio.
36:02Mrs. Blackwood does not meet the parent of him if heoyo is.
36:04Mrs. Blackwood is the addition of his friends that he can travel in a limited time as well.
36:07I'm santa Club.
36:08Mrs. Blackwood is the meaning of the life we recommend.
36:08Mrs. Blackwood does not increase theаж.
36:32I don't think it's fair that our paralegal makes so much less than the paralegal at Peterson.
36:37Our paralegal doesn't just do internet research and witness affidavits spelt wrong.
36:42He also scoops dog poop, goes on dangerous undercover missions, gives great presents like bobbleheads, and loves the people at
36:48this firm like his own family.
36:52Seriously.
36:55How do you know I wrote that?
36:59You, me, Memphis dry rub.
37:03Sounds painful.
37:04No, the barbecue place on Denman. I got the raise. I'm taking you out for dinner.
37:09Yes!
37:18Can we get some packing tape to close these boxes?
37:22Roy and I kept the tape in the everything drawer in the kitchen.
37:52You've been here long enough.
37:53Some of these books are mine.
37:55It'll take as long as it takes, Mrs. Blackwood.
37:58Where'd that lawyer woman go?
38:05What are you doing in here?
38:07This belongs to Christian.
38:12I feel sad for you, Bonnie.
38:14Never got to know the real Roy.
38:15Roy, you missed out.
38:57Hey, Dad.
38:58How are you doing?
39:00Fine.
39:01I know you went to a funeral.
39:04Was there something you needed?
39:05I just wanted to let you know things went smoothly while you were gone.
39:09In fact, I implemented a suggestion box, which led to some meaningful conversations with the staff.
39:13I managed to retain at least one disaffected employee.
39:17Speaking of employee retention, I have a staffing update for you.
39:29You're the only person that has my back.
39:32You don't need my protection.
39:34You're a partner now.
39:36And you don't need to prove to anyone that your name belongs on that door.
39:43I can't imagine this place without you.
39:46Don't you dare.
39:47I'm not ready for goodbyes.
39:50I'm here a while yet.
40:11Joanne.
40:12I hope you don't mind me just showing up.
40:15Of course not.
40:16I, uh, wanted to speak to you.
40:20Privately.
40:22Do you want to sit down?
40:25Uh, I'd rather stand.
40:31I've been thinking a lot about our relationship the last couple of days.
40:36And I've finally had some clarity.
40:40We're both very stubborn.
40:42We find it hard to move forward, Harry.
40:45And I realized...
40:46You realize this will never work and we should cut our losses.
40:49No.
40:51I realized that life's too short to let petty fights distract us from our deeper feelings.
41:05Harry's fence, will you marry me?
41:12That is a woman's ring.
41:13Yes.
41:14I picked it out and paid for it myself as a gift to you.
41:20In a distant voice I hear.
41:24In all my dusty souvenirs.
41:27Yes.
41:28I would love nothing more...
41:31...than to marry you.
41:38Why is it that I find you everywhere?
41:44It's you.
