1
00:00:00,117 --> 00:00:01,921
Previously, on Family Law...

2
00:00:02,664 --> 00:00:04,230
I just wanted to drop this off.

3
00:00:05,093 --> 00:00:06,585
It's a basic separation agreement.

4
00:00:06,586 --> 00:00:07,508
What are you doing?

5
00:00:07,509 --> 00:00:08,665
All of Maggie's terms are in there.

6
00:00:08,666 --> 00:00:10,800
It's not worth the
paper it's printed on.

7
00:00:12,571 --> 00:00:14,360
Maggie?

8
00:00:16,852 --> 00:00:18,052
Okay.

9
00:00:18,602 --> 00:00:20,851
You will have no part
of my daughter's life.

10
00:00:21,090 --> 00:00:22,523
Now please leave.

11
00:00:23,605 --> 00:00:25,140
You know what
I like most about her?

12
00:00:25,578 --> 00:00:27,581
You're way less uptight around her.

13
00:00:32,955 --> 00:00:36,461
The Disciplinary Board also
requires random Breathalyzer tests.

14
00:00:36,462 --> 00:00:38,358
I know.

15
00:00:38,359 --> 00:00:40,518
- This is your kid?
- Our kid, actually.

16
00:00:40,519 --> 00:00:42,697
Abby, can I talk to you for a second?

17
00:00:42,698 --> 00:00:45,313
Bringing your boy-toy into
our professional community...

18
00:00:45,314 --> 00:00:46,800
This isn't my community.

19
00:00:47,122 --> 00:00:49,790
My probation's gonna be over next month.

20
00:00:50,156 --> 00:00:52,375
You're seriously willing
to risk your reputation

21
00:00:52,376 --> 00:00:54,499
as a family lawyer
just to spite me?

22
00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:56,147
The courts made the
right call last time.

23
00:00:56,148 --> 00:00:57,516
I'm confident they'll
make the right call again.

24
00:00:57,517 --> 00:00:59,551
So then I guess we're going to court.

25
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,128
So?

26
00:01:03,129 --> 00:01:04,329
Who is she?

27
00:01:04,586 --> 00:01:07,177
- Who's who?
- Dude.

28
00:01:07,178 --> 00:01:08,756
I know your pattern.

29
00:01:08,757 --> 00:01:10,147
You break up with someone,

30
00:01:10,148 --> 00:01:11,926
we hang out a lot.

31
00:01:11,927 --> 00:01:14,093
You find someone new, you disappear.

32
00:01:14,763 --> 00:01:17,121
And I've barely seen you lately.

33
00:01:17,122 --> 00:01:18,623
So?

34
00:01:18,624 --> 00:01:20,625
It's not what you think.
We're just friends.

35
00:01:20,626 --> 00:01:21,826
Bullshit.

36
00:01:22,085 --> 00:01:25,129
Straight men, straight women...
never just friends.

37
00:01:25,130 --> 00:01:27,170
Just because you're still
living in a '90s sitcom...

38
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:29,634
Look me in the eye

39
00:01:29,635 --> 00:01:31,195
and tell me you don't want to bang her.

40
00:01:32,047 --> 00:01:35,117
- It's not like that.
- Ah! Ha-hah!

41
00:01:36,648 --> 00:01:40,765
Said with not a whiff of eye contact.

42
00:01:41,117 --> 00:01:44,246
- How have you not been sued?
- Who says I haven't?

43
00:01:45,249 --> 00:01:47,415
So when do I get to meet her?

44
00:01:49,820 --> 00:01:51,703
No offense, but...

45
00:01:51,704 --> 00:01:53,611
you would reflect very poorly on me.

46
00:01:53,612 --> 00:01:54,911
What do you mean? Ah!

47
00:02:14,288 --> 00:02:15,488
Ms. Bianchi...

48
00:02:15,820 --> 00:02:18,220
we determined that you fulfilled
the terms of your probation.

49
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:19,906
The board is satisfied

50
00:02:19,907 --> 00:02:22,703
that you are capable of
practicing law unsupervised.

51
00:02:23,098 --> 00:02:24,102
Thank you, Mr. Svensson,

52
00:02:24,103 --> 00:02:26,103
for mentoring Ms.
Bianchi for the past year.

53
00:02:26,568 --> 00:02:28,191
We wish you all the best.

54
00:02:28,192 --> 00:02:29,872
And we hope to never see you again.

55
00:02:29,873 --> 00:02:31,640
The feeling is mutual.

56
00:02:46,677 --> 00:02:48,288
Now that that's over with,

57
00:02:48,289 --> 00:02:50,713
have you given any more
thought to your future?

58
00:02:50,714 --> 00:02:51,914
Nope.

59
00:02:51,965 --> 00:02:54,098
Just trying to get through my divorce.

60
00:02:55,169 --> 00:02:57,743
I still can't believe you
two let it go this far.

61
00:02:57,744 --> 00:03:00,091
Your dirty laundry will be
a matter of public record.

62
00:03:00,092 --> 00:03:03,824
Oh, well, the worst of my dirty
laundry's already on YouTube.

63
00:03:04,239 --> 00:03:06,160
Frank didn't leave me much choice.

64
00:03:06,161 --> 00:03:09,253
- I used to like that man.
- Yeah. Me too.

65
00:03:11,667 --> 00:03:13,701
You're a fine lawyer, Abigail.

66
00:03:14,039 --> 00:03:15,837
As I've mentioned before,

67
00:03:15,838 --> 00:03:18,939
you have a home at my
firm if you want it.

68
00:03:20,471 --> 00:03:21,868
Thank you.

69
00:03:21,869 --> 00:03:23,234
I've drawn up an offer.

70
00:03:31,838 --> 00:03:33,255
You're joking, right?

71
00:03:33,256 --> 00:03:35,523
Let me tell you a story
about a man named Tiger Woods.

72
00:03:35,524 --> 00:03:36,648
He's a golfer...

73
00:03:36,649 --> 00:03:37,992
I know who Tiger Woods is, Harry.

74
00:03:37,993 --> 00:03:41,992
When he got mired in scandal,
all of his sponsors abandoned him.

75
00:03:42,878 --> 00:03:44,983
All but one, that is.

76
00:03:44,984 --> 00:03:46,341
Nike.

77
00:03:46,342 --> 00:03:48,008
Nike stood by him.

78
00:03:48,210 --> 00:03:51,500
They believed in him.
Helped build him back up.

79
00:03:51,501 --> 00:03:54,831
Nike offered him a
multi-million-dollar contract.

80
00:03:54,832 --> 00:03:57,281
You're offering me
less than a caddy makes.

81
00:03:57,282 --> 00:03:59,531
It's a fair offer for
someone in your position.

82
00:03:59,843 --> 00:04:02,773
- The Law Society just said...
- You must recognize

83
00:04:02,774 --> 00:04:06,299
that last year's scandal will
hang over you for some time.

84
00:04:06,632 --> 00:04:09,657
I am sure you could find another job,

85
00:04:09,658 --> 00:04:11,648
but I don't think you'd enjoy

86
00:04:11,649 --> 00:04:14,359
doing in-house legal
for an insurance company.

87
00:04:16,438 --> 00:04:19,473
Let me be your Nike, Abigail.

88
00:04:23,051 --> 00:04:23,974
I have a meeting.

89
00:04:23,975 --> 00:04:26,776
Good. Good for you to keep up with A.A.

90
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,921
I've been watching you
closely this past year.

91
00:04:35,661 --> 00:04:38,278
Your comeback has been... remarkable.

92
00:04:38,997 --> 00:04:42,322
Like Peyton Manning after
he had spinal-fusion surgery.

93
00:04:42,323 --> 00:04:44,544
You men just love a sports analogy.

94
00:04:44,778 --> 00:04:46,559
That work you did on
the class-action suit

95
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,196
- was a thing of beauty.
- Thank you, George.

96
00:04:49,197 --> 00:04:51,308
The other partners
and I have voted on it.

97
00:04:51,309 --> 00:04:53,060
Now that your probation's over,

98
00:04:53,577 --> 00:04:55,077
we're willing to take you back.

99
00:04:56,026 --> 00:04:57,693
This can all be yours again.

100
00:04:59,859 --> 00:05:01,193
What's your offer?

101
00:05:37,521 --> 00:05:39,345
It's got remote key-less entry,

102
00:05:39,346 --> 00:05:42,492
and it's got a CD player
that can hold up to six CDs.

103
00:05:42,493 --> 00:05:44,316
How retro.

104
00:05:44,317 --> 00:05:45,474
I love the color.

105
00:05:45,475 --> 00:05:46,819
- Banana?
- "Citron."

106
00:05:46,820 --> 00:05:48,987
Ooh! Check it out, Mr. S.

107
00:05:49,243 --> 00:05:50,840
Now that I'm officially a paralegal,

108
00:05:50,841 --> 00:05:52,765
I treated myself to a new set of wheels.

109
00:05:52,766 --> 00:05:55,393
- Only 250,000 clicks.
- Well done, Cecil.

110
00:05:55,927 --> 00:05:58,253
In three minutes, you two
will officially be late for work.

111
00:06:19,786 --> 00:06:22,343
Brevity...

112
00:06:22,344 --> 00:06:23,698
the soul of wit.

113
00:06:29,391 --> 00:06:31,916
- Danny, hi. Do you have a...
- I kissed Martina!

114
00:06:32,245 --> 00:06:33,942
It was impulsive.

115
00:06:33,943 --> 00:06:35,442
Stupid. She has a boyfriend.

116
00:06:35,894 --> 00:06:37,868
And she couldn't get
away from me fast enough.

117
00:06:37,869 --> 00:06:39,870
I'm trying to write her a text,
but I don't know what to say.

118
00:06:39,871 --> 00:06:43,329
- Why not be a grown-up and call her?
- Right.

119
00:06:44,779 --> 00:06:47,576
Right. Right. Good idea, Luce.

120
00:06:47,577 --> 00:06:49,276
This is why you're a psychologist.

121
00:06:50,068 --> 00:06:51,268
So what's up with you?

122
00:06:59,604 --> 00:07:01,838
Well? How'd it go?

123
00:07:02,461 --> 00:07:04,768
You're looking at a
practicing lawyer again.

124
00:07:06,164 --> 00:07:08,135
- Congratulations.
- Mm-hmm.

125
00:07:08,500 --> 00:07:09,790
Feel free to use work time

126
00:07:09,791 --> 00:07:11,101
to set up meetings at other firms.

127
00:07:11,102 --> 00:07:12,346
Thanks.

128
00:07:12,347 --> 00:07:14,672
I'll get any remaining
case files off your plate.

129
00:07:14,673 --> 00:07:15,873
Great.

130
00:07:16,707 --> 00:07:18,975
Oh, and happy to give you a reference.

131
00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:20,978
Just know that it might take some time

132
00:07:20,979 --> 00:07:21,868
for you to land somewhere,

133
00:07:21,869 --> 00:07:25,338
- but I'm sure someone will want to...
- I've already had two offers.

134
00:07:25,339 --> 00:07:26,539
Really?

135
00:07:26,869 --> 00:07:28,069
Who from?

136
00:07:28,369 --> 00:07:30,953
- George Handler, for one.
- Seriously?

137
00:07:31,416 --> 00:07:33,374
You don't have to sound so surprised.

138
00:07:33,375 --> 00:07:35,822
- Was it good?
- Better than good.

139
00:07:35,823 --> 00:07:37,256
He offered me partnership.

140
00:07:37,575 --> 00:07:39,709
Really? After everything...

141
00:07:40,286 --> 00:07:42,253
Well, that's... that's great news.

142
00:07:42,698 --> 00:07:44,689
You are a born ambulance-chaser.

143
00:07:44,690 --> 00:07:46,014
Family law was never your thing.

144
00:07:46,015 --> 00:07:47,575
That's not what my second offer thinks.

145
00:07:48,814 --> 00:07:50,650
Partners' meeting starts now.

146
00:07:52,947 --> 00:07:54,328
Gotta run.

147
00:07:54,329 --> 00:07:55,251
Mm.

148
00:07:55,252 --> 00:07:57,103
Good luck with everything.

149
00:07:58,264 --> 00:07:59,288
Hey.

150
00:07:59,289 --> 00:08:01,080
Maybe we can grab lunch once in a while.

151
00:08:04,085 --> 00:08:05,285
Dingus.

152
00:08:07,770 --> 00:08:09,870
I have some concerns.

153
00:08:11,323 --> 00:08:14,674
The last quarter was excellent,
but that was largely due

154
00:08:14,675 --> 00:08:16,775
to the class-action
suit Abby brought in.

155
00:08:17,226 --> 00:08:19,984
Projected net is harder to Gauge.

156
00:08:19,985 --> 00:08:21,250
Why is that?

157
00:08:21,555 --> 00:08:23,096
This came in yesterday.

158
00:08:23,338 --> 00:08:26,149
Our lease is up for renewal
and the rates are almost doubling.

159
00:08:26,150 --> 00:08:27,350
Highway robbery.

160
00:08:27,661 --> 00:08:29,752
We could look for new office space.

161
00:08:29,753 --> 00:08:31,868
- Something in Railtown.
- Railtown?

162
00:08:31,869 --> 00:08:34,060
We'll need less office space
now that Abby's leaving.

163
00:08:34,061 --> 00:08:35,643
Not so fast, Danny-boy.

164
00:08:35,644 --> 00:08:38,269
- We don't know yet that she's leaving.
- We don't?

165
00:08:38,896 --> 00:08:40,229
Oh, for...

166
00:08:41,088 --> 00:08:43,620
- You were her second offer?
- Did you not tell Daniel?

167
00:08:43,621 --> 00:08:46,346
I didn't think I'd have to run
such an obvious idea by you.

168
00:08:46,347 --> 00:08:48,346
Of course, you should have
run it by me, I'm a partner.

169
00:08:48,347 --> 00:08:50,760
And what did you mean... "second offer"?

170
00:08:50,761 --> 00:08:52,295
Oh, you don't know.

171
00:08:53,276 --> 00:08:55,338
George Handler's
offered her partnership.

172
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,926
Abby's leaving, Dad.

173
00:09:05,537 --> 00:09:06,936
You're here.

174
00:09:07,366 --> 00:09:08,390
Tell me everything.

175
00:09:08,391 --> 00:09:10,115
How's Maggie? How's the baby?

176
00:09:10,116 --> 00:09:12,073
Maggie's still in hospital.

177
00:09:12,074 --> 00:09:13,098
She's doing fine.

178
00:09:13,099 --> 00:09:14,932
- Harmony's thriving.
- "Harmony"?

179
00:09:16,575 --> 00:09:18,350
What a beautiful name.

180
00:09:18,351 --> 00:09:20,711
Maggie doesn't want me to have
anything to do with the baby.

181
00:09:22,751 --> 00:09:24,642
I guess it's what I deserve, right?

182
00:09:24,643 --> 00:09:26,768
No. It's not what you deserve.

183
00:09:26,769 --> 00:09:29,693
And Maggie can't make a
unilateral decision like that.

184
00:09:31,603 --> 00:09:34,061
We'll talk this through later.
Okay? I have to be in court.

185
00:09:34,062 --> 00:09:35,218
Is this...?

186
00:09:35,219 --> 00:09:36,795
Bianchi versus Bianchi?

187
00:09:36,796 --> 00:09:37,996
Yep.

188
00:09:38,019 --> 00:09:39,279
Good luck.

189
00:09:48,068 --> 00:09:49,625
Mr. and Ms. Bianchi.

190
00:09:49,626 --> 00:09:51,394
Let me just say that I
know more about both of you

191
00:09:51,395 --> 00:09:52,628
than I ever cared to,

192
00:09:52,923 --> 00:09:55,100
and neither one of you come
out smelling like roses.

193
00:09:55,395 --> 00:09:57,152
I'm dumbfounded that two family lawyers

194
00:09:57,153 --> 00:09:58,993
have let this get all the way to court.

195
00:09:58,994 --> 00:10:01,202
Actually, I'm not
technically a family lawyer.

196
00:10:01,203 --> 00:10:02,603
Did I give you permission to speak?

197
00:10:04,367 --> 00:10:05,873
Let's proceed.

198
00:10:06,252 --> 00:10:08,819
First on our agenda, Your
Honor, is spousal support.

199
00:10:08,820 --> 00:10:12,374
Ms. Bianchi has made substantially
less than Mr. Bianchi this year,

200
00:10:12,375 --> 00:10:15,897
but my client would like to
offer the higher end of support,

201
00:10:15,898 --> 00:10:17,497
as a goodwill gesture.

202
00:10:17,809 --> 00:10:19,009
Ms. Bernstein?

203
00:10:19,881 --> 00:10:22,749
I'd love to believe in
Mr. Bianchi's generosity,

204
00:10:23,054 --> 00:10:27,338
but my client could
soon out-earn him again.

205
00:10:27,339 --> 00:10:29,597
Just like I did for
most of our marriage,

206
00:10:29,598 --> 00:10:31,855
meaning, I'd be the one
paying high-end support.

207
00:10:31,856 --> 00:10:32,827
Reality check...

208
00:10:32,828 --> 00:10:34,959
with your reputation, you'll be
lucky to find any work at all.

209
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,261
Here's a thought.

210
00:10:36,262 --> 00:10:39,497
Why don't we waive
spousal support altogether?

211
00:10:43,660 --> 00:10:45,154
We would never agree to that.

212
00:10:45,369 --> 00:10:47,202
What a surprise.

213
00:10:55,872 --> 00:10:57,323
I should just call her, right?

214
00:11:00,143 --> 00:11:02,277
I've been thinking about what you said.

215
00:11:02,278 --> 00:11:05,433
You should be included in more
of the decisions around here.

216
00:11:05,434 --> 00:11:07,525
- Glad to hear it.
- Jerri's done the math.

217
00:11:07,526 --> 00:11:10,003
We'd be wise to cut
costs moving forward.

218
00:11:10,004 --> 00:11:12,800
Agreed. Which is why we should
move to a more affordable space.

219
00:11:12,801 --> 00:11:16,027
And look like we're on a
downward slide? Absolutely not.

220
00:11:16,028 --> 00:11:18,395
We need to cut the fat. Lay someone off.

221
00:11:18,689 --> 00:11:19,889
Preventative measures.

222
00:11:21,106 --> 00:11:22,763
- I can get onboard with that.
- Good.

223
00:11:22,764 --> 00:11:24,484
Decide who's expendable,
and break the news.

224
00:11:24,755 --> 00:11:27,011
Wait. You want me to do it?

225
00:11:27,012 --> 00:11:29,527
You want to be part of
the hiring decisions?

226
00:11:29,528 --> 00:11:32,195
You need be part of
the firing decisions.

227
00:11:48,667 --> 00:11:50,203
Hey.

228
00:11:50,204 --> 00:11:52,176
I just came from the hospital,

229
00:11:52,177 --> 00:11:54,137
to see if I could talk
things through with Maggie.

230
00:11:54,433 --> 00:11:56,398
She took my name off the visitors' list.

231
00:11:56,399 --> 00:11:59,089
- I couldn't see her or Harmony.
- Okay, this is bullshit.

232
00:11:59,090 --> 00:12:01,481
And it would never
stand up under scrutiny.

233
00:12:01,482 --> 00:12:04,138
You're still Maggie's wife.
You have parental rights.

234
00:12:04,910 --> 00:12:06,652
Not necessarily.

235
00:12:06,653 --> 00:12:09,043
I had a separation agreement drawn up

236
00:12:09,044 --> 00:12:11,545
and I may have signed
away my rights as a parent.

237
00:12:11,827 --> 00:12:13,851
What kind of bargain-basement dumbass

238
00:12:13,852 --> 00:12:15,352
advised you to do that?

239
00:12:17,093 --> 00:12:18,465
Dad.

240
00:12:22,129 --> 00:12:24,130
What would possess
you to do something like that?

241
00:12:24,131 --> 00:12:25,898
I was simply ensuring
my daughter wouldn't have

242
00:12:25,899 --> 00:12:27,123
a lifetime of support payments

243
00:12:27,124 --> 00:12:29,001
for a child that wasn't even hers.

244
00:12:29,002 --> 00:12:30,492
Jesus, Harry!

245
00:12:30,493 --> 00:12:32,401
I was simply trying
to get you a clean break,

246
00:12:32,402 --> 00:12:35,127
- a luxury I never got.
- Oh, what are you saying? That you wish

247
00:12:35,128 --> 00:12:36,730
you'd had no part of my
life after you and Mom split?

248
00:12:36,731 --> 00:12:37,808
Of course not.

249
00:12:37,809 --> 00:12:39,599
And you played zero part in my life.

250
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,578
You had a 33-year clean break.

251
00:12:41,579 --> 00:12:42,793
Not financially.

252
00:12:42,794 --> 00:12:45,728
I paid spousal and child
support, to both your mothers.

253
00:12:45,729 --> 00:12:47,141
Oh, the injustice.

254
00:12:47,142 --> 00:12:49,933
Yeah, while our mothers had
the daily grind of raising us,

255
00:12:49,934 --> 00:12:52,658
you were getting writer's cramp
from signing all those checks.

256
00:12:52,659 --> 00:12:55,117
Hello! Can we get back on topic, please?

257
00:12:55,118 --> 00:12:56,483
Mr. Svensson?

258
00:12:56,484 --> 00:12:58,786
Mrs. Fantetti's on line
two and she's sobbing again.

259
00:12:58,787 --> 00:13:00,010
All of you, out.

260
00:13:00,011 --> 00:13:01,443
- But we still have...
- Now.

261
00:13:04,369 --> 00:13:05,768
So that's it?

262
00:13:06,035 --> 00:13:08,660
I mean, there's nothing that I can do?

263
00:13:09,277 --> 00:13:11,607
Has Maggie countersigned
the separation agreement?

264
00:13:11,608 --> 00:13:13,275
I don't think so.

265
00:13:13,871 --> 00:13:16,426
Honestly, I don't think
she's even seen it.

266
00:13:16,427 --> 00:13:18,798
I left it in her apartment
the night I called 911.

267
00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:20,690
She's still in hospital.

268
00:13:20,691 --> 00:13:22,190
You've still got a key?

269
00:13:22,889 --> 00:13:25,013
It, uh, feels a bit trespass-y.

270
00:13:25,014 --> 00:13:26,653
If you can get those papers,

271
00:13:26,654 --> 00:13:29,528
this can be resolved
quickly and painlessly.

272
00:13:29,529 --> 00:13:31,187
We can set up a four-way meeting

273
00:13:31,188 --> 00:13:33,513
and ensure you're part of
Melody's life from now on.

274
00:13:33,514 --> 00:13:34,714
"Harmony."

275
00:13:39,576 --> 00:13:40,784
Luce?

276
00:13:41,580 --> 00:13:43,048
Why didn't you tell
me about this sooner?

277
00:13:43,049 --> 00:13:46,083
I tried, but your head was
so far up your own ass again.

278
00:13:46,614 --> 00:13:47,904
I'm sorry.

279
00:13:47,905 --> 00:13:50,262
But I got your back from now on, 'Kay?

280
00:13:50,263 --> 00:13:52,478
- I'll take over from Dad.
- I don't want you.

281
00:13:52,479 --> 00:13:54,766
- I want Abby.
- Why?

282
00:13:54,767 --> 00:13:56,225
Because you haven't once asked me

283
00:13:56,226 --> 00:13:57,348
about Maggie or Harmony.

284
00:13:57,349 --> 00:13:58,890
Abby's a mom.

285
00:13:58,891 --> 00:14:00,323
She knows what I'm going through.

286
00:14:00,535 --> 00:14:01,735
I have Craig.

287
00:14:02,659 --> 00:14:04,582
You have got to stop doing that.

288
00:14:11,609 --> 00:14:13,382
Knock-knock.

289
00:14:13,383 --> 00:14:16,293
I got you this over
lunch. For your new car.

290
00:14:18,848 --> 00:14:20,305
No way!

291
00:14:20,306 --> 00:14:21,646
A Maneki Neko!

292
00:14:21,647 --> 00:14:23,838
Oh, Winston, thank you.

293
00:14:23,839 --> 00:14:24,962
I love it.

294
00:14:24,963 --> 00:14:26,330
My grandpa and grandma
had one for their car,

295
00:14:26,331 --> 00:14:28,089
and they swore it was
their good-luck charm.

296
00:14:28,090 --> 00:14:30,121
I'm leaning towards Jordy Randall.

297
00:14:30,122 --> 00:14:32,113
He's the entire accounting department.

298
00:14:32,114 --> 00:14:33,314
Who will write our checks?

299
00:14:34,689 --> 00:14:35,912
Okay.

300
00:14:35,913 --> 00:14:37,919
What about Juanita Lopez?

301
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,832
She takes more sick days than anyone.

302
00:14:39,833 --> 00:14:41,232
Absolutely not!

303
00:14:41,521 --> 00:14:43,645
She has a child with
disabilities at home,

304
00:14:43,646 --> 00:14:45,481
hence the sick days.

305
00:14:45,482 --> 00:14:47,190
How about Andy Mikita?

306
00:14:47,191 --> 00:14:48,548
He must be near retirement.

307
00:14:48,549 --> 00:14:51,163
Which is why it'd be cruel to put
him out to pasture two years early.

308
00:14:51,164 --> 00:14:52,496
I won't hear of it.

309
00:14:52,792 --> 00:14:53,816
Winston?

310
00:14:53,817 --> 00:14:56,421
You touch Winston, you'll be
looking for a new office manager.

311
00:14:57,506 --> 00:14:59,172
One of the paralegals, then.

312
00:15:00,843 --> 00:15:01,932
Yes.

313
00:15:01,933 --> 00:15:03,457
That probably makes the most sense.

314
00:15:03,458 --> 00:15:04,614
Okay, but which one?

315
00:15:04,615 --> 00:15:06,204
Well, you know the expression...

316
00:15:06,205 --> 00:15:07,885
"last one in, the first one out."

317
00:15:12,740 --> 00:15:15,207
It's like the cat's
giving me a high-five.

318
00:15:22,333 --> 00:15:23,632
Thanks.

319
00:15:24,361 --> 00:15:26,521
When were you gonna tell me
about George Handler's offer?

320
00:15:26,522 --> 00:15:27,979
Jesus. Are you stalking me?

321
00:15:27,980 --> 00:15:29,222
Have you made your decision yet?

322
00:15:29,223 --> 00:15:30,940
Well, it's a tough one.

323
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,003
Partnership... with a
ridiculously high base salary

324
00:15:35,004 --> 00:15:37,528
and a corner office that
could fit six of mine in it,

325
00:15:37,529 --> 00:15:40,995
or a windowless box that
still smells like farts?

326
00:15:40,996 --> 00:15:42,831
Your sarcasm is unbecoming.

327
00:15:42,832 --> 00:15:44,632
Let me put this in terms
you can understand...

328
00:15:44,964 --> 00:15:46,830
George's offer was like...

329
00:15:47,065 --> 00:15:49,541
Nike wooing Tiger Woods.

330
00:15:50,229 --> 00:15:51,461
Well, then...

331
00:15:51,931 --> 00:15:53,431
you should accept.

332
00:15:55,659 --> 00:15:57,125
Harry, I appreciate

333
00:15:57,391 --> 00:16:00,426
that you've given me a home
for the past year, but...

334
00:16:01,668 --> 00:16:03,705
I think what I need
more than anything...

335
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:05,862
is a clean break.

336
00:16:27,846 --> 00:16:32,809
- Shirley. Hi. How was your cruise?
- This is breaking and entering.

337
00:16:32,810 --> 00:16:34,600
My name is on the lease.

338
00:16:34,601 --> 00:16:37,464
I still pay rent. I just
came to get some papers.

339
00:16:37,465 --> 00:16:38,821
These ones?

340
00:16:38,822 --> 00:16:41,127
I brought them to the
hospital last night for Maggie.

341
00:16:41,588 --> 00:16:43,875
You signed away your rights.
You have no claim to this child.

342
00:16:43,876 --> 00:16:45,261
Now get out

343
00:16:45,262 --> 00:16:48,129
and leave my daughter
and granddaughter alone.

344
00:16:53,748 --> 00:16:55,739
We have to figure
out a way to fight this.

345
00:16:55,740 --> 00:16:57,995
Guys, it's okay. I made my bed.

346
00:16:57,996 --> 00:17:00,769
No. Harry made your bed.

347
00:17:00,770 --> 00:17:02,837
You shouldn't have to
lie in his dirty sheets.

348
00:17:03,041 --> 00:17:06,331
Abby's right. We just
need to find the angle.

349
00:17:06,332 --> 00:17:08,967
Maybe we could argue she
didn't get any legal advice?

350
00:17:09,232 --> 00:17:11,355
Sure, if perjury's your thing.

351
00:17:11,356 --> 00:17:14,050
The agreement was in a
Svensson and Svensson envelope.

352
00:17:14,051 --> 00:17:15,365
How about this...

353
00:17:15,366 --> 00:17:17,666
You didn't get any sound legal advice.

354
00:17:17,987 --> 00:17:20,478
While Harry might be one of the
top family lawyers in town...

355
00:17:20,479 --> 00:17:21,447
The top.

356
00:17:21,448 --> 00:17:25,042
In this case, he let his own
feelings about parenthood,

357
00:17:25,043 --> 00:17:28,001
and his own abysmal track
record with parenthood,

358
00:17:28,002 --> 00:17:29,460
cloud his judgment.

359
00:17:29,461 --> 00:17:33,047
That's our argument. Lucy
received egregiously bad legal advice.

360
00:17:33,048 --> 00:17:34,112
Absolutely not.

361
00:17:34,113 --> 00:17:37,192
I won't have this firm's reputation
dragged through the mud.

362
00:17:37,193 --> 00:17:39,018
You mean your reputation.

363
00:17:39,274 --> 00:17:42,362
And I'd only be speaking
the truth. If it weren't for you,

364
00:17:42,363 --> 00:17:45,711
- Lucy wouldn't be in this situation.
- Abby's right, Dad.

365
00:17:45,712 --> 00:17:47,443
Come up with a different strategy.

366
00:17:47,444 --> 00:17:49,464
- Like what?
- You're both lawyers.

367
00:17:49,465 --> 00:17:51,364
Figure it out.

368
00:17:59,081 --> 00:18:02,197
The house was largely
financed by Ms. Bianchi,

369
00:18:02,198 --> 00:18:03,888
it should go to her.

370
00:18:03,889 --> 00:18:06,933
She hasn't lived in the
house for over a year.

371
00:18:06,934 --> 00:18:08,401
- She chose to move out.
- "Chose"?

372
00:18:08,402 --> 00:18:09,565
Ms. Bianchi, hush.

373
00:18:09,566 --> 00:18:12,532
It makes more sense for
Mr. Bianchi to stay in the house.

374
00:18:12,533 --> 00:18:14,089
It's what the children are used to,

375
00:18:14,090 --> 00:18:16,653
- and he will be the primary parent.
- Says who?

376
00:18:16,654 --> 00:18:18,320
My client will have
equal parenting time.

377
00:18:18,660 --> 00:18:20,584
Mr. Bianchi is willing
to let her have them

378
00:18:20,585 --> 00:18:21,642
every other weekend.

379
00:18:21,643 --> 00:18:22,667
Are you kiddin' me?

380
00:18:22,668 --> 00:18:25,612
Ms. Bianchi, you are not at home
watching an episode of Big Brother.

381
00:18:25,613 --> 00:18:27,003
No running commentary.

382
00:18:27,004 --> 00:18:29,784
Your Honor, this is yet another example

383
00:18:29,785 --> 00:18:31,633
of Mr. Bianchi's punitive behavior.

384
00:18:31,634 --> 00:18:34,335
I'm not trying to be punitive.
I'm trying to be practical.

385
00:18:34,783 --> 00:18:38,318
Ms. Bianchi will be returning
to personal-injury law.

386
00:18:39,271 --> 00:18:40,713
Did you think I wouldn't find out?

387
00:18:41,550 --> 00:18:43,198
Is this true, Ms. Bianchi?

388
00:18:43,199 --> 00:18:45,366
Will you be returning
to personal injury?

389
00:18:46,437 --> 00:18:49,495
Uh, I've had an offer,
which I'm mulling.

390
00:18:49,496 --> 00:18:52,394
She billed close to 2,000 hours
a year when we were married.

391
00:18:52,395 --> 00:18:54,456
How can she provide a
reasonable home for our children,

392
00:18:54,457 --> 00:18:55,513
if she's never there?

393
00:18:55,514 --> 00:18:58,217
- I haven't even taken the job!
- Both of you, shut it!

394
00:18:58,590 --> 00:19:01,104
Counsels? Can you
please stop your clients

395
00:19:01,105 --> 00:19:02,505
from popping up like Whack-a-Moles?

396
00:19:02,708 --> 00:19:04,432
My apologies, Your Honor.

397
00:19:04,433 --> 00:19:06,523
My client is simply thinking

398
00:19:06,524 --> 00:19:08,316
of the best interests of the children.

399
00:19:08,317 --> 00:19:11,318
I think I have
all the information I need.

400
00:19:11,724 --> 00:19:14,416
We'll reconvene tomorrow,
once I have my decisions.

401
00:19:20,312 --> 00:19:22,398
You should've told me about the new job.

402
00:19:22,399 --> 00:19:25,113
It's just an offer.
I haven't said yes yet.

403
00:19:25,114 --> 00:19:27,011
- But you will.
- I'd like to.

404
00:19:27,012 --> 00:19:29,933
But what's the impact
gonna be on all this?

405
00:19:29,934 --> 00:19:32,392
Well, a fair chunk of your
new earnings could go to Frank.

406
00:19:32,393 --> 00:19:35,662
I'll pay him top tier if I have to...
I don't care about the money.

407
00:19:35,865 --> 00:19:37,622
- Two, please.
- Right this way.

408
00:19:37,623 --> 00:19:39,440
Will this affect my parenting time?

409
00:19:39,717 --> 00:19:42,084
Well, I'm convinced
you'll get equal access.

410
00:19:42,393 --> 00:19:44,995
Maria Natali is not
going to punish a woman

411
00:19:44,996 --> 00:19:46,393
for having a career.

412
00:19:47,643 --> 00:19:50,339
Frank's not wrong. When I
was doing personal injury,

413
00:19:50,340 --> 00:19:53,349
- I barely saw the kids during the week.
- So?

414
00:19:53,350 --> 00:19:56,065
With the money you'll be making,
you can hire a live-in nanny.

415
00:19:56,342 --> 00:19:58,088
One who does housekeeping.

416
00:19:58,779 --> 00:20:01,240
- The kids are how old?
- 11 and 14.

417
00:20:01,507 --> 00:20:03,641
They're practically out
of the house already.

418
00:20:04,698 --> 00:20:07,164
- Do you have kids?
- God, no.

419
00:20:14,095 --> 00:20:16,186
Water.

420
00:20:16,187 --> 00:20:17,710
Tissues.

421
00:20:17,711 --> 00:20:19,268
And our termination guide.

422
00:20:21,658 --> 00:20:22,991
Where are you going?

423
00:20:23,307 --> 00:20:26,378
- Joining Eleanor for a late lunch.
- You can't... you have to stay.

424
00:20:26,379 --> 00:20:29,534
I do not and I will not.

425
00:20:45,036 --> 00:20:46,807
Cecil, can you step
into my office, please?

426
00:20:47,176 --> 00:20:48,682
Right away, sir.

427
00:20:53,882 --> 00:20:55,482
Knock-knock.

428
00:20:56,799 --> 00:20:59,466
- Have a seat.
- First...

429
00:20:59,799 --> 00:21:00,999
I want to give you this.

430
00:21:03,319 --> 00:21:04,519
Go on, open it.

431
00:21:09,771 --> 00:21:11,338
It's for your new car.

432
00:21:11,713 --> 00:21:14,705
Winston got me one, and I
know you have a new car, too,

433
00:21:14,706 --> 00:21:15,796
and really...

434
00:21:15,797 --> 00:21:17,323
I just wanted to show my appreciation

435
00:21:17,324 --> 00:21:18,573
for all the support you've given me

436
00:21:18,574 --> 00:21:20,565
on my journey to getting
my paralegal certificate.

437
00:21:20,566 --> 00:21:23,401
These last two years at the firm
have been the best of my life.

438
00:21:23,955 --> 00:21:26,878
- You're like a second family.
- I have to let you go!

439
00:21:26,879 --> 00:21:28,205
Go where?

440
00:21:30,530 --> 00:21:33,976
- I'm really sorry, Cecil.
- Yeah, me too.

441
00:21:36,382 --> 00:21:38,284
Did I park my car somewhere else?

442
00:21:44,562 --> 00:21:46,721
I knew this spot was
too good to be true.

443
00:21:58,695 --> 00:22:00,862
Harry would like to
see you in his office.

444
00:22:03,057 --> 00:22:06,166
Maybe the tightwad's about
to make you a better offer.

445
00:22:12,748 --> 00:22:13,948
Close the door.

446
00:22:19,921 --> 00:22:22,674
I've given it some thought
and I've had a change of heart.

447
00:22:22,916 --> 00:22:25,737
You've decided I'm worth
more than Tiger Woods's caddy?

448
00:22:25,738 --> 00:22:27,162
What?

449
00:22:27,163 --> 00:22:29,037
Uh, I meant your strategy.

450
00:22:29,038 --> 00:22:34,456
Go ahead. Argue that Lucy
got "egregious" legal advice.

451
00:22:34,457 --> 00:22:36,819
I'm willing to sacrifice my reputation

452
00:22:36,820 --> 00:22:38,716
for my daughter's happiness.

453
00:22:38,717 --> 00:22:40,284
Of course, you are.

454
00:22:40,661 --> 00:22:44,050
I'm... I'm saying your strategy
is sound. It's a compliment.

455
00:22:44,051 --> 00:22:45,557
Yeah, I'm happy for Lucy.

456
00:22:47,441 --> 00:22:50,249
Hey, word of advice, Harry...

457
00:22:50,250 --> 00:22:52,573
Every parent has a favourite child.

458
00:22:53,630 --> 00:22:56,755
Most of them are just
better at hiding it.

459
00:22:56,756 --> 00:22:59,571
- I don't have a favourite.
- Please.

460
00:22:59,572 --> 00:23:03,634
You've handed everything
to Lucy on a platter.

461
00:23:03,635 --> 00:23:08,075
You're willing to drag your
reputation through the mud for her.

462
00:23:08,076 --> 00:23:10,226
You would never do that for Daniel or me

463
00:23:10,227 --> 00:23:12,193
in a million years.

464
00:23:12,499 --> 00:23:15,681
One year ago... your life was a mess.

465
00:23:15,682 --> 00:23:17,273
You were a mess.

466
00:23:17,274 --> 00:23:20,953
No one... wanted to take you on.

467
00:23:22,495 --> 00:23:24,024
When I decided to mentor you,

468
00:23:24,025 --> 00:23:26,578
my friends, my
colleagues, my own family,

469
00:23:26,579 --> 00:23:28,903
questioned my sanity.

470
00:23:28,904 --> 00:23:31,060
And how did you thank me?

471
00:23:31,061 --> 00:23:34,220
By being rude, obstreperous, ungrateful,

472
00:23:34,221 --> 00:23:35,520
and getting loaded...

473
00:23:35,757 --> 00:23:37,549
in my office.

474
00:23:37,913 --> 00:23:40,380
And I gave you

475
00:23:40,381 --> 00:23:42,448
a second chance.

476
00:23:42,681 --> 00:23:45,167
So don't you dare accuse me

477
00:23:45,168 --> 00:23:48,580
of never putting my
reputation at risk for you.

478
00:23:50,213 --> 00:23:52,558
I have taken more bullets for you

479
00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:55,060
than my other two children combined.

480
00:23:59,563 --> 00:24:03,786
Go to George Handler.
Enjoy your... swanky new office

481
00:24:03,787 --> 00:24:05,690
and your big paycheck.

482
00:24:23,985 --> 00:24:26,143
It was sweet of you
to come with me, Dad.

483
00:24:26,144 --> 00:24:27,928
I wish I could be in
there for moral support,

484
00:24:27,929 --> 00:24:29,786
but your lawyer is right.

485
00:24:29,787 --> 00:24:31,343
I should stay away.

486
00:24:31,344 --> 00:24:32,768
Joanne!

487
00:24:33,228 --> 00:24:34,836
Well, what are you doing here?

488
00:24:34,837 --> 00:24:36,770
I'm Lucy's bonus parent.

489
00:24:38,176 --> 00:24:39,611
Thank you for doing that.

490
00:24:45,672 --> 00:24:48,503
Dr. Svensson, can you tell the court

491
00:24:48,504 --> 00:24:50,440
why you signed a document

492
00:24:50,441 --> 00:24:52,507
that relinquished any
claim to your child?

493
00:24:52,825 --> 00:24:55,102
When your lawyer is also your father,

494
00:24:55,103 --> 00:24:56,735
you tend to do what he suggests.

495
00:24:57,807 --> 00:24:59,307
Do you regret that decision?

496
00:25:00,224 --> 00:25:02,748
- With all my heart.
- Thank you, Dr. Svensson.

497
00:25:03,022 --> 00:25:08,635
Your Honor, Dr. Svensson and
Ms. Roth chose the donor together.

498
00:25:09,139 --> 00:25:12,011
Dr. Svensson was with
Ms. Roth at the clinic,

499
00:25:12,012 --> 00:25:13,302
and the law clearly states

500
00:25:13,303 --> 00:25:15,644
that if the child is born
through assisted reproduction,

501
00:25:15,645 --> 00:25:17,745
the person who was married
to the birth mother,

502
00:25:17,746 --> 00:25:19,203
when she became pregnant,

503
00:25:19,204 --> 00:25:20,703
is the child's parent.

504
00:25:21,444 --> 00:25:22,743
Counsel rests.

505
00:25:23,182 --> 00:25:25,105
Ms. Sugimoto? You may cross-examine.

506
00:25:25,106 --> 00:25:26,565
Thank you, Your Honor.

507
00:25:27,209 --> 00:25:29,499
Dr. Svensson, how long
were you and Ms. Roth dating

508
00:25:29,500 --> 00:25:32,049
- before you proposed?
- Three months.

509
00:25:32,050 --> 00:25:33,751
Wow. That's a whirlwind.

510
00:25:33,752 --> 00:25:35,830
Well, I guess you could say that, yes.

511
00:25:35,831 --> 00:25:39,456
In fact, you told Ms. Roth she
was "the only woman" for you?

512
00:25:39,457 --> 00:25:42,245
- Objection, relevance.
- Overruled.

513
00:25:42,955 --> 00:25:44,877
I believe I said that, yes.

514
00:25:44,878 --> 00:25:47,518
And less than one
year into the marriage,

515
00:25:47,519 --> 00:25:48,709
you started having an affair?

516
00:25:48,710 --> 00:25:50,500
Objection! This isn't a morality play.

517
00:25:50,501 --> 00:25:53,334
Sustained. Ms. Sugimoto,
get to the point.

518
00:25:53,335 --> 00:25:55,392
My client was very clear
leading up to the marriage

519
00:25:55,393 --> 00:25:56,190
that she wanted a family.

520
00:25:56,191 --> 00:25:57,690
- Is that correct?
- Yes.

521
00:25:57,691 --> 00:25:58,892
And during your brief marriage,

522
00:25:58,893 --> 00:26:00,795
what was your level of
interest in having a child?

523
00:26:00,796 --> 00:26:02,276
- Not much at first, but I...
- How often

524
00:26:02,277 --> 00:26:03,721
did you see Maggie during the pregnancy?

525
00:26:03,722 --> 00:26:05,991
Well, never, but that's because
she didn't want to see me.

526
00:26:05,992 --> 00:26:07,088
Can you blame her?

527
00:26:07,089 --> 00:26:08,346
- Objection!
- Objection!

528
00:26:08,347 --> 00:26:10,713
Relevance?

529
00:26:10,714 --> 00:26:13,408
Your Honor.
My client's infidelity

530
00:26:13,409 --> 00:26:16,049
is not relevant to her
ability to parent this child.

531
00:26:16,050 --> 00:26:17,461
Sustained.

532
00:26:17,462 --> 00:26:19,268
And if I hear another word from you,

533
00:26:19,269 --> 00:26:21,318
I will have you removed
from my courtroom.

534
00:26:21,319 --> 00:26:22,470
Move it along, Counsel.

535
00:26:22,471 --> 00:26:25,263
My colleague is correct
in her reading of the law,

536
00:26:25,264 --> 00:26:27,861
but she neglected to mention
the second part of that law.

537
00:26:28,077 --> 00:26:30,268
The person is the child's parent,

538
00:26:30,269 --> 00:26:32,658
unless the person didn't
agree to be the child's parent,

539
00:26:32,659 --> 00:26:35,018
or unless the person changed their mind

540
00:26:35,019 --> 00:26:36,872
about being the child's parent.

541
00:26:36,873 --> 00:26:39,630
Ms. Roth was the one who
wanted to be a mother.

542
00:26:39,631 --> 00:26:41,830
She made all of the
decisions leading up to that,

543
00:26:41,831 --> 00:26:44,080
and she went through
her pregnancy alone.

544
00:26:44,943 --> 00:26:47,468
Dr. Svensson, on the other
hand, showed zero interest

545
00:26:47,469 --> 00:26:50,536
until she spent a few days
in hospital with the baby.

546
00:26:50,739 --> 00:26:53,448
She is an impulsive flip-flopper

547
00:26:53,449 --> 00:26:55,982
who could just as easily
change her mind again.

548
00:26:56,441 --> 00:26:58,737
She is not a stable
influence for a child,

549
00:26:58,738 --> 00:27:00,680
and should have no part
in the child's life.

550
00:27:19,518 --> 00:27:22,073
Cecile, I need this... copied.

551
00:27:22,074 --> 00:27:24,577
I'll copy them, sir.
How many do you need?

552
00:27:24,578 --> 00:27:26,478
Three. Where's Cecile?

553
00:27:26,857 --> 00:27:28,324
He was let go.

554
00:27:28,777 --> 00:27:30,009
Daniel fired him.

555
00:27:39,572 --> 00:27:42,207
- You fired Cecile?
- Yes.

556
00:27:42,208 --> 00:27:44,643
- Why?
- Because you asked me to fire someone.

557
00:27:44,644 --> 00:27:46,801
Not Cecile.

558
00:27:46,802 --> 00:27:50,448
- Bone-headed move, Danny.
- I'm so sick of this!

559
00:27:50,752 --> 00:27:52,442
Nothing I do is good enough for you,

560
00:27:52,443 --> 00:27:54,299
even when I do exactly as you ask.

561
00:27:54,729 --> 00:27:56,393
You are constantly broadcasting the fact

562
00:27:56,394 --> 00:27:58,205
that I'm a disappointment to you.

563
00:27:58,206 --> 00:28:00,447
Well, I'm good at what I do, Dad,

564
00:28:00,783 --> 00:28:03,338
- even if I do it differently than you.
- You are spouting nonsense.

565
00:28:03,339 --> 00:28:05,606
I know you think Abby
is the better lawyer...

566
00:28:06,113 --> 00:28:08,504
but she's leaving, I'm
the one who's staying,

567
00:28:08,505 --> 00:28:10,213
so maybe it's time

568
00:28:10,214 --> 00:28:13,039
you showed me a little
respect and appreciation,

569
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,174
because if you want this firm
to keep the Svensson name...

570
00:28:16,934 --> 00:28:18,306
I'm that Svensson.

571
00:28:32,805 --> 00:28:35,685
I feel like Ingrid
Bergman in Casablanca.

572
00:28:35,686 --> 00:28:37,376
"But what about us?"

573
00:28:37,377 --> 00:28:38,711
We'll always have A.A.

574
00:28:39,062 --> 00:28:42,090
Doesn't have quite the
same ring to it, does it?

575
00:28:42,328 --> 00:28:44,563
I'm gonna talk to that
stubborn old mule one more time.

576
00:28:44,564 --> 00:28:45,764
Please don't.

577
00:28:45,809 --> 00:28:48,109
Honestly, I-I think
this is for the best.

578
00:28:48,492 --> 00:28:51,501
This family works better
for me at a distance...

579
00:28:51,502 --> 00:28:55,138
like, Earth-to-Neptune distance.

580
00:28:55,139 --> 00:28:57,367
Don't even think about taking the chair!

581
00:29:08,463 --> 00:29:10,954
I remember when I leased this place.

582
00:29:10,955 --> 00:29:12,155
I thought to myself,

583
00:29:12,986 --> 00:29:15,049
"they'll have to carry
me out in a coffin."

584
00:29:16,250 --> 00:29:18,583
It's just an office space, Harry.

585
00:29:20,765 --> 00:29:22,267
It's an image.

586
00:29:25,752 --> 00:29:28,804
I think I'd rather retire than move.

587
00:29:28,805 --> 00:29:30,562
I don't believe you.

588
00:29:30,563 --> 00:29:32,196
You're just having a rough week.

589
00:29:32,532 --> 00:29:33,822
"Rough" is an understatement.

590
00:29:36,499 --> 00:29:39,200
The depths of my
children's ingratitude...

591
00:29:40,549 --> 00:29:44,418
I... have done more for them
than they will ever know,

592
00:29:45,058 --> 00:29:47,435
and do I ever get so
much as a "thank you"?

593
00:29:48,671 --> 00:29:50,193
All they do is moan,

594
00:29:51,671 --> 00:29:55,429
complain, and tell me
what a lousy father I was.

595
00:29:56,499 --> 00:29:58,732
Welcome to parenthood, Harry.

596
00:30:00,580 --> 00:30:02,685
Mm.

597
00:30:07,754 --> 00:30:09,744
With respect to child support,

598
00:30:09,745 --> 00:30:10,802
the amount will be based

599
00:30:10,803 --> 00:30:12,931
on the Federal Child Support guidelines.

600
00:30:12,932 --> 00:30:15,166
Spousal support will
be set at low range.

601
00:30:15,783 --> 00:30:20,347
Mr. Bianchi, a year ago, I granted
you emergency interim custody

602
00:30:20,348 --> 00:30:21,914
for all the right reasons.

603
00:30:22,455 --> 00:30:25,126
Ms. Bianchi was not a fit parent,

604
00:30:25,127 --> 00:30:27,846
as was made clear in a very public way.

605
00:30:29,852 --> 00:30:33,326
However, I have reviewed
the Law Society's report

606
00:30:33,327 --> 00:30:36,588
and I have seen Ms. Bianchi
in action in my own courtroom,

607
00:30:37,479 --> 00:30:39,017
and I must commend you

608
00:30:39,018 --> 00:30:41,719
on doing the hard work to
get your life back on track.

609
00:30:42,541 --> 00:30:45,089
Mr. Bianchi, you and
your lawyer have gone

610
00:30:45,090 --> 00:30:46,470
to a great deal of effort

611
00:30:46,471 --> 00:30:49,660
to portray Ms. Bianchi
as an inadequate parent.

612
00:30:49,661 --> 00:30:52,653
You insisted on the
Child Custody Evaluation,

613
00:30:52,654 --> 00:30:54,998
you fought against equal parenting time,

614
00:30:54,999 --> 00:30:56,256
and to suggest

615
00:30:56,257 --> 00:30:59,392
that a job with long hours
should mean less parenting time

616
00:30:59,604 --> 00:31:01,337
offends my sensibilities.

617
00:31:02,363 --> 00:31:05,338
I'm ordering 50-50 parenting time.

618
00:31:06,262 --> 00:31:10,213
I do agree with Mr.
Bianchi on one matter...

619
00:31:10,214 --> 00:31:12,338
It is in the best
interests of the children

620
00:31:12,339 --> 00:31:14,033
that they stay in the family home.

621
00:31:14,034 --> 00:31:15,852
They've had enough disruption.

622
00:31:16,455 --> 00:31:19,702
Therefore I'm ordering
a nesting arrangement.

623
00:31:19,703 --> 00:31:22,737
You will both take turns
living in the family home...

624
00:31:22,738 --> 00:31:24,557
One week on, one week off.

625
00:31:24,558 --> 00:31:25,917
- But your Honor...
- How...

626
00:31:25,918 --> 00:31:28,158
I am not asking for your input.

627
00:31:29,919 --> 00:31:31,686
Oh, my god.

628
00:31:36,964 --> 00:31:38,597
Thank you, Cordelia.

629
00:31:38,909 --> 00:31:41,124
- For everything.
- You're welcome.

630
00:31:41,125 --> 00:31:43,057
- Can I give you a hug?
- No.

631
00:31:43,779 --> 00:31:45,303
Good luck, Abigail.

632
00:31:45,304 --> 00:31:47,104
Harry's gonna miss you.

633
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,227
I'm upping my offer to your sister.

634
00:32:07,804 --> 00:32:10,828
Of course, you are.

635
00:32:11,531 --> 00:32:16,068
I wanted you to know because...
even though I'm senior partner,

636
00:32:16,069 --> 00:32:19,000
I still should inform
you of these things.

637
00:32:19,001 --> 00:32:22,250
I'd have preferred being part
of the discussion beforehand,

638
00:32:22,251 --> 00:32:23,818
as opposed to being told after the fact.

639
00:32:23,819 --> 00:32:25,019
Fair enough.

640
00:32:25,388 --> 00:32:29,880
But, as a partner, surely, you
can see your sister has value.

641
00:32:37,667 --> 00:32:39,925
I know it's still nowhere near

642
00:32:39,926 --> 00:32:41,649
what you'd make at George Handler's,

643
00:32:41,650 --> 00:32:45,475
but I also know you'll make the
most of an eat-what-you-kill deal.

644
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,374
Mm. And my base salary?

645
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:50,607
You understand...

646
00:32:50,973 --> 00:32:52,740
I can't pay you more than Daniel.

647
00:32:53,264 --> 00:32:55,397
On paper, at least.

648
00:32:56,387 --> 00:32:57,875
I'm listening.

649
00:32:57,876 --> 00:33:01,442
I'd like to set up a trust
fund for Sofia and Nico.

650
00:33:01,443 --> 00:33:04,478
They'll be able to attend
any university they want.

651
00:33:06,945 --> 00:33:09,245
You should do that anyway,
you're their grandfather.

652
00:33:10,502 --> 00:33:12,597
Tell me you'll think about it.

653
00:33:14,453 --> 00:33:15,852
I'll think about it.

654
00:33:18,564 --> 00:33:20,335
Are you keeping the Bianchi name?

655
00:33:22,206 --> 00:33:23,991
I hadn't given it any thought.

656
00:33:26,132 --> 00:33:30,035
You could be the future
of this firm, Abigail.

657
00:33:49,656 --> 00:33:53,069
Well, it sounds like Harry
gave you the best offer he could.

658
00:33:53,070 --> 00:33:55,394
But it can't be close
to the money you'd make

659
00:33:55,395 --> 00:33:56,919
in personal injury, right?

660
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,519
No, not even in the ballpark.

661
00:33:58,775 --> 00:34:01,466
So George Handler sent me some details

662
00:34:01,467 --> 00:34:03,374
of the first case he'd
like me to work on.

663
00:34:03,375 --> 00:34:04,808
Do tell.

664
00:34:08,085 --> 00:34:09,441
Remember that guy

665
00:34:09,442 --> 00:34:11,466
who had a heart attack on Robson Street,

666
00:34:11,467 --> 00:34:13,553
and a good Samaritan gave him CPR?

667
00:34:13,554 --> 00:34:15,479
Yeah, she saved his life.

668
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:16,769
He's suing her.

669
00:34:16,770 --> 00:34:17,860
No!

670
00:34:17,861 --> 00:34:20,961
For cracking one of his
ribs while performing CPR.

671
00:34:22,177 --> 00:34:24,235
Well, even creeps need lawyers.

672
00:34:24,236 --> 00:34:25,890
You'll just have to hold your nose,

673
00:34:25,891 --> 00:34:27,687
like you've done a million times before.

674
00:34:27,688 --> 00:34:28,814
That I have.

675
00:34:28,815 --> 00:34:30,681
Or you don't have to take his offer.

676
00:34:30,682 --> 00:34:32,939
You don't have to take
your father's offer, either.

677
00:34:32,940 --> 00:34:36,018
As this week has proven,
other firms will come knocking.

678
00:34:39,642 --> 00:34:42,010
Can I get two pistachios, please?

679
00:34:52,790 --> 00:34:54,000
Ms. Roth,

680
00:34:54,001 --> 00:34:56,736
when you found out your
wife was having an affair,

681
00:34:57,033 --> 00:34:59,541
- how did that make you feel?
- Devastated.

682
00:35:00,249 --> 00:35:02,090
I know the feeling all too well.

683
00:35:02,091 --> 00:35:04,428
Objection. We don't
care about her feelings.

684
00:35:04,429 --> 00:35:06,629
Sustained. Ms. Bianchi,
get to your point.

685
00:35:07,632 --> 00:35:09,833
What did you do when you found out?

686
00:35:11,112 --> 00:35:12,578
I asked Lucy to move out.

687
00:35:13,716 --> 00:35:15,582
And when she tried to contact you...

688
00:35:15,833 --> 00:35:18,041
I told her I wanted
nothing to do with her.

689
00:35:18,521 --> 00:35:19,877
So, when your lawyer says

690
00:35:19,878 --> 00:35:22,736
Dr. Svensson wasn't
around for your pregnancy,

691
00:35:22,737 --> 00:35:25,599
she was just honoring
your wishes, was she not?

692
00:35:27,344 --> 00:35:28,841
I suppose.

693
00:35:31,091 --> 00:35:33,255
I just went through a nasty divorce.

694
00:35:33,651 --> 00:35:36,376
My ex and I put each
other through the wringer.

695
00:35:36,377 --> 00:35:38,598
Objection! Why is counsel
sharing her personal life?

696
00:35:38,599 --> 00:35:40,400
I'm getting there, your
Honor, you have my word.

697
00:35:40,401 --> 00:35:41,742
Get there fast, Ms. Bianchi.

698
00:35:42,357 --> 00:35:46,613
We made decisions
based on anger... and hurt.

699
00:35:46,883 --> 00:35:49,238
Not on the best
interests of our children.

700
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:53,140
And that is exactly
what's happening here.

701
00:35:53,919 --> 00:35:55,891
Everyone has the right to change...

702
00:35:56,984 --> 00:35:59,219
Not just their minds...

703
00:35:59,524 --> 00:36:00,724
but who they are.

704
00:36:00,914 --> 00:36:04,211
Dr. Svensson thought
things would be easier...

705
00:36:04,732 --> 00:36:05,932
for everyone...

706
00:36:06,418 --> 00:36:08,385
if she made a clean break.

707
00:36:09,203 --> 00:36:10,627
And it would be easier,

708
00:36:10,628 --> 00:36:12,051
because as we all know,

709
00:36:12,052 --> 00:36:13,938
family is messy...

710
00:36:15,382 --> 00:36:16,594
complicated,

711
00:36:18,225 --> 00:36:20,258
aggravating as hell.

712
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,507
But she's come to realize
that she wants the messiness.

713
00:36:27,395 --> 00:36:29,948
She's committed to this child...

714
00:36:30,839 --> 00:36:32,816
and deserves to be part of her life.

715
00:36:34,159 --> 00:36:35,503
Most important...

716
00:36:36,096 --> 00:36:38,620
The child deserves to have love

717
00:36:38,621 --> 00:36:40,088
and support

718
00:36:40,652 --> 00:36:42,634
from both her parents.

719
00:36:43,081 --> 00:36:46,894
Counsel rests.

720
00:36:56,277 --> 00:36:57,974
I have carefully considered

721
00:36:57,975 --> 00:37:00,058
the arguments laid out in this case,

722
00:37:00,059 --> 00:37:02,822
and I find in favour of the defendant,

723
00:37:02,823 --> 00:37:05,780
- Lucinda Svensson.
- Yes!

724
00:37:08,294 --> 00:37:10,575
She is the child's parent,
with all the rights

725
00:37:10,576 --> 00:37:12,387
and responsibilities
that come with that.

726
00:37:12,388 --> 00:37:14,755
Her name needs to be added
to the birth certificate.

727
00:37:15,245 --> 00:37:16,965
Ms. Roth will be the primary parent

728
00:37:16,966 --> 00:37:18,761
while the child is still an infant.

729
00:37:18,762 --> 00:37:21,612
Dr. Svensson can visit for
up to two hours per day.

730
00:37:22,141 --> 00:37:24,900
Ms. Roth, I know it is hard
to set aside your own feelings

731
00:37:24,901 --> 00:37:25,824
toward Dr. Svensson,

732
00:37:25,825 --> 00:37:27,381
but having her in your child's life

733
00:37:27,382 --> 00:37:28,781
will only give her more love,

734
00:37:29,038 --> 00:37:30,519
not less.

735
00:37:35,154 --> 00:37:38,022
This matter is adjourned.

736
00:37:44,073 --> 00:37:45,786
Well? How did it go?

737
00:37:45,787 --> 00:37:48,346
I am officially Harmony's parent.

738
00:37:48,347 --> 00:37:50,025
I'm glad it worked out for you.

739
00:37:50,026 --> 00:37:52,216
It was all Abby. She was brilliant.

740
00:37:52,217 --> 00:37:54,608
Congratulations, Mom!

741
00:37:54,609 --> 00:37:56,253
Could I see you in your office?

742
00:38:05,908 --> 00:38:09,452
I took the liberty of
unpacking your things.

743
00:38:09,908 --> 00:38:12,022
- Daniel.
- Yes?

744
00:38:12,023 --> 00:38:13,880
You can re-hire Cecile.

745
00:38:13,881 --> 00:38:15,572
Your sister is staying.

746
00:38:15,573 --> 00:38:17,851
I'm confident our
earnings over the next year

747
00:38:17,852 --> 00:38:21,228
will be stronger than
we initially anticipated.

748
00:38:29,541 --> 00:38:32,202
You're giving me my job back?

749
00:38:32,203 --> 00:38:34,036
- Yes.
- That's amazing!

750
00:38:36,504 --> 00:38:37,694
I mean...

751
00:38:37,695 --> 00:38:39,587
I'll have to think about it.

752
00:38:41,013 --> 00:38:42,213
What do you want?

753
00:38:45,925 --> 00:38:47,125
A parking spot...

754
00:38:48,893 --> 00:38:50,116
and a raise.

755
00:38:50,117 --> 00:38:52,575
- I can give you the parking spot.
- Sold!

756
00:38:58,690 --> 00:39:02,615
- So... guess you've heard?
- Yup.

757
00:39:03,005 --> 00:39:05,640
We're gonna be one big, unhappy family.

758
00:39:08,312 --> 00:39:10,157
That's it?

759
00:39:10,158 --> 00:39:12,091
How about even a tepid "congrats"?

760
00:39:14,604 --> 00:39:16,564
You couldn't have just
taken the job with Handler?

761
00:39:25,295 --> 00:39:26,451
That was awesome.

762
00:39:26,452 --> 00:39:28,396
I can't believe you helped
me negotiate a parking spot.

763
00:39:28,397 --> 00:39:31,824
- Nope. That was all you.
- You want to celebrate? My treat.

764
00:39:31,825 --> 00:39:33,048
We could go to Moxie's.

765
00:39:33,049 --> 00:39:35,060
I'd love to, but my boyfriend and I

766
00:39:35,061 --> 00:39:37,285
are going shopping for a chaise lounge.

767
00:39:37,286 --> 00:39:39,386
Ah. Right.

768
00:39:39,642 --> 00:39:41,076
Wanna come with?

769
00:39:41,606 --> 00:39:43,545
No. It's fine.

770
00:39:43,546 --> 00:39:47,208
- Have a great weekend, Winston.
- Thanks, Cecil. You too.

771
00:39:51,709 --> 00:39:53,041
Cecil!

772
00:39:54,708 --> 00:39:56,043
Nina?

773
00:39:56,954 --> 00:39:59,522
Did you get my last
postcard? From Australia?

774
00:39:59,796 --> 00:40:01,153
Not yet.

775
00:40:01,154 --> 00:40:04,221
Oh... so you don't know?

776
00:40:05,962 --> 00:40:09,361
Martina, I need to apologize for
what happened the other night.

777
00:40:09,362 --> 00:40:11,128
It was completely out of line.

778
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,532
I know you have a boyfriend

779
00:40:13,533 --> 00:40:17,434
and... I would hate to do
anything to ruin our friendship.

780
00:40:34,529 --> 00:40:37,153
Martina. I need to apol...

781
00:40:49,271 --> 00:40:51,438
So, you two will stay in the house.

782
00:40:51,898 --> 00:40:53,363
We'll alternate.

783
00:40:53,364 --> 00:40:56,031
Dad'll live here one week,
and I'll live here one week.

784
00:40:56,669 --> 00:41:00,452
- No more going back and forth.
- That makes a whole lotta sense.

785
00:41:00,849 --> 00:41:03,372
Thank you, judicial system,

786
00:41:03,373 --> 00:41:06,140
for putting our needs
first for a change,

787
00:41:06,141 --> 00:41:09,163
since we weren't the ones who
made this mess in the first place.

788
00:41:12,161 --> 00:41:14,372
Can I go back to my Medieval castle?

789
00:41:14,373 --> 00:41:16,306
The serfs are about to rebel.

790
00:41:17,002 --> 00:41:18,223
Sure.

791
00:41:31,701 --> 00:41:36,462
I'm... trying to wrap my head
around this nesting arrangement.

792
00:41:36,463 --> 00:41:37,695
Mm.

793
00:41:38,436 --> 00:41:39,745
Me too.

794
00:41:41,494 --> 00:41:45,230
Let's save that for another day.

795
00:41:51,687 --> 00:41:53,987
We had more good times than bad...

796
00:41:55,101 --> 00:41:56,301
right?

797
00:41:56,739 --> 00:41:58,346
We had great times.

798
00:42:01,096 --> 00:42:03,252

fabulous kids together.
