Down on the ground![grunts]
Jane? What the hell were you going to do?
[sighs]
We can't lose this restaurant.
It's my entire life's work.
[mutters]
[door opens]Mm. Aah! Aah!
Oh.
Hey, it's you.Yeah, it's me,
your landlord. Were you gonna binoculars me to death?
No, it's... I don't... [scoffs]
I'm not awake yet.Okay. Whatever.
This is your reminder-- Chuck and I are going to Maui,
leaving right now for five days.
Oh, right. I forgot about that.
And we don't want you going in the house while we're gone.
What? I live there.This is the garage.
It's a separate unit.No. I'm in there all the time.
And you don't go in there while we're not here, okay?Well,
hold on a second. Where am I supposed to shower?
I don't know. The hose.The hose? What?
It's December.Or you can go to a gym.
What am I, the family dog?
Okay, okay, can you please?
This is one single boundary
that Chuck and I are attempting to draw.
A boundary that says you don't trust me.
[car horn beeps]
Can you please just do this one thing?
Please? Thank you.
Yes? Okay. Aloha.
[door closes]
Aloha to you, too.
A skiing accident?
Beaman broke his leg in three places. Oh.
Apparently, the bunny hill is more dangerous than it seems.
So I'm picking up the slack and inheriting the case.
And it's a Beaman case, so...
Which means, last minute,
sloppy, and you'll be the detail-oriented one
cleaning up his mess.
Yeah. What am I even arguing again?
Motion to dismiss on a wrongful termination.
Motion to dismiss. Okay.
PDtroniX is the company.
Here's the CEO, our client.
Graham Tate,
Margaret Wright. She'll be filling in
for your attorney Nick Beaman.
Pleased to meet you.
Uh, I've been briefed on the motion,
but I'd love to hear the details from you.
Thank you, Francey.
So, you and the plaintiff Jane Lin...
Founded PDtroniX together...Uh-huh.
...almost four years ago.Okay.
Everything was fine until about six months ago.
When Jane's behavior became erratic,
and she became personally unstable,
and you fired her.
Erratic how?
She was disruptive to the work
and disrespectful to coworkers. Mm-hmm.
There were complaints, and she was, uh, disciplined.
It's all documented.
So, what is the basis of her suing?
Jane was let go right before the launch
of our big app Unexpected Flame.
It's a dating app that went stratospheric... Oh.
...because of its unique design.
Ah. Since she was fired before its release,
she doesn't share in its profits.
Well, contractually, she got all the vesting she was entitled to,
up to the day she was fired.
So I assume she's looking for a big settlement?
She stopped talking to me.
[sighs]
Last night she broke into the office
with a knife. She was arrested
for breaking and entering and attempted assault.
She's out on bail, and
the judge issued a temporary restraining order.
She's just proved that her firing was well-founded.
We'll take that to the judge,
he'll dismiss the case, and you can
move on from this difficult time.
I'm just gonna get some water. Be right back.
She banned me from her house.
I mean, I live there.
Can I sue her?
You live in the garage, Todd.
I wouldn't want you in my condo alone.
Why? Because I'm some plundering vandal who can't be trusted?
Well, yes. I understand you ate all the cereal in their house.
Oh, give me a break. It's cereal.
Cereal's for everyone, and why did you call me down here again?
I am subbing in on a last-minute motion to dismiss.
It should be a slam dunk, but it's a Nick Beaman case.
So, God only knows what kind of prep he did or didn't do.
I need you as an extra set of eyes and ears
to catch anything he might have missed.
Great. So you trust me with important work tasks.
Meanwhile, Allison won't even let me shower?
Uh, trust is earned, Todd, over time.
And if you want to earn mine, you will get in there
and pay attention. Go on, get.
The court will now hear Jane Lin v. PDtroniX.
Wrongful termination suit.
You had me arrested?What was I supposed to do?
Tell the truth.You brought a knife.
Believe me.[gavel bangs]
We have counsel?
Yes. Uh, Margaret Wright for the defense.
Um, and I understand
that Miss Lin is acting
pro se, so since she is on her own,
then we'll...Apologies, Your Honor. Apologies.
Gus Easton for the plaintiff.
I'm sorry I'm late.
You're plaintiff's counsel?
No. No, no. Do not needle me right now, all right?
I'm intermittent fasting and I can't eat for another
two and a half hours, so I have no sense of humor
until 11:45.Well,
I'm just fascinated that you would take on a violent offender
suing her former company for what-- executing good judgment?
JUDGE: Um, Counsel,
can we...?MARGARET: Yes, Your Honor.
Defense's motion to dismiss is only bolstered
by plaintiff's overnight arrest
for attempted assault with a deadly weapon.
Your Honor, may I speak?
I'd let your counsel lead.
Oh, no. If-if my client wants to say something,
that's-that's fine with me.
I went to PDtroniX last night
to get back what was stolen from me.
My work,
my dignity and the proof
that I designed the Unexpected Flame app.
[gallery clamoring]
The defendant
knows every accusation made against me
is a coverup for when they go public.
And the reason I brought a knife
last night was because I feared for my safety.
Plaintiff is amending its complaint
to include corporate theft of intellectual property
and stock options.
Oh, we're also amending our numbers.
Uh, just had it.
Here. Um...
That's... that's you.
Here.Thank you.
Jane Lin is now suing PDtroniX
for $360 million.
[gallery clamoring]
She seemed totally honest.
I mean, that speech was...Was very compelling.
She could be telling the truth.
I mean, I'd buy it. I bought it.
Or she was coached by Gus the shark,
and that whole "PDtroniX stole my app" story was a ploy.
That Gus Easton is very sneaky.
Wasn't he that guy in the Northbrook Aerospace case
from a few months back?
He's all mouth and no pants.
I don't even know what he's doing on this case.
But what if that Jane is telling the truth?
Didn't you tell me once that if a woman in a workplace says
her ideas have been stolen, you should listen to her?
I did, but we don't know enough about her yet, or this case.
[sighs]
I need you to approach her off the record,
as you do, and get some more information.
Okay. So you're deploying me as an agent of truth and freedom?
Chaos, more like. I need you to tread lightly
and be quiet about it.
And for God's sake, don't compromise our client.
Okay, I will be discreet and I will compromise nothing.
I'm deploying Lyle as well.
So you don't trust me?
We didn't start developing the app
until after Jane was gone.
But you did dump her
and strip her of her cofounder status
moments before you were about to go public.
That was the board's decision.
They thought she was a liability,
and voted four to one to let her go.
Who was the holdout?Me.
We were best friends.
I thought she'd pull it together.
I got voted down.
And we don't have $360 million.
Oh, that's just an inflated number
that attorneys use to scare you.
No, our public offering is valued at $2 billion.
If she wins,
her share would be $360 million.
So the shark did his homework.
If the public thinks
Jane's telling the truth, they'll delete our apps,
VCs won't back us, we'll go under.
Okay, I need a bulletproof timeline
of the creation of the app and anything that you have
that says Jane undermined your ability to do your work.
Okay?
I am sorry about your friendship,
but I think we can still rescue your company.
Thank you.

Usually you can say,
"I want someone this height or this religion.
Um, a dog person, not a dog person," stuff like that.
But this one won't let you set any preferences.
Not sexual, not gender.
Instead, it asks questions.

Worst dating experience.
Huh. Uh... well,
I dated this woman a few years ago.
Uh, we went into business together,
and... I nearly went to jail for her crimes.
Ooh.Yeah, bad.
Lost my license and everything.
License for what?
Oh.
Cosmetology.
Hair, skin, nails, you know, whatever.
Well, the last person
I was involved with was a vindictive jerk
at the company that stole my app.
Can you prove that they stole it?
I pitched a dating app two years ago
and got shouted down.
So, when I renewed my contract, I carved out the idea.
I only worked on it at home, never mentioned it to anyone.
I remember the exact day
I broke the code because it was my birthday.
March 12 last year.
Everything was fine till that bastard Mason showed up.
Mason?
The head of digital marketing and PR.

Oh, I got to go.
Nice meeting you, Kevin.
Thanks for the coffee.Oh, sure.
And good luck with the cosmetology.
Oh, yeah. Pedicure exams coming up next week. [chuckles]

Are you sure I'm not on there?
I don't have a Johan listed.
Really? Johan Beckler?
Interviewing for a position here?
I.T. or design?
Uh, I do both, so, uh, I'm meeting Mason.
Native or PWA?
Well, I'm from here, so native.
Are you, like, the pre-interviewer or something?
I'm the person who fends off folks
who have no tech background,
show up with no plan, or want to spy on us
from other companies.
Oh, great. Um... MAN: Come on, everybody,
you're gonna miss it.
Aah! Yeah.
Oh, you know what, he's at the party.
I forgot. That was in the email.
Why don't I just wait here for Mason?
Why don't you come back when you have
an actual appointment?
Or a much better story.
Uh, you bet.
But bathroom first?

Yeah, I'm just sensitive to patterns.

Hey I, uh, got another one for you, man.
Oh, yeah.
Sure.
Here you go.Yeah.
Have a good day.You, too.
Now let me get this straight.
You went to our client's office.
Jane told me about this guy at the company...
Mason.Right.
Who left his own party to shred documents
the day their motion to dismiss was denied.
Why else if not to cover PDtroniX's tracks?
What if Jane was right and they did steal her app?
She's not our client.Okay.
So what if our client harmed her? What then?
Then she's still not our client.
And my duty is to zealously represent my client
no matter what.No matter what.
But we do need to make sure our case is airtight,
so maybe you should continue to look into things.
Because if she is sane and they did manufacture
this bad behavior, then... Right.
I've got something. Just AirDropped it to you.
Do I need to hit a button?No, it's already on there.
Oh. Impressive.
I tracked Jane, like you asked,

stole my computer code!
Now you'll be sorry...
Well, she's drunk.
Not drunk, she's upset.
She's more than upset. That's a little...
You coward...![pauses video]
It goes on like this for five more minutes.Okay.
Do you have to take this to court?
And then PDtroniX will win,
launch their new Big Brother app, and...
And we put our case to bed.
[sighs]This is hard evidence
that she's unstable and was fired for cause.
Our side is justified. The case is over.
Thank you, Lyle. Good work.
And now
I can delete this ridiculous app from my phone.
Where is the delete button? Hold on.
Oh, my gosh.
Todd, is this Allison?
What?Is that your sister?
On a dating app?
Does Allison really like rock climbing?
And origami? That doesn't sound like her, does it?
And this name Claire.
Allison would never go by Claire.
Although that does look like my red striped sweater
she borrowed and never returned.Yeah.
Look, that little hole right there. Mm-hmm.
Well, at least she didn't check
"looking for NSA fun."
What does National Security Agency have to do with it?
Mom, "no strings attached." NSA.
Are you NSA? Well, yes.
I've done "no strings attached" before, yeah.
Wait, was Veronica NSA?
No, there were plenty of strings there.
Is Lawrence NSA?Mom, Lawrence is married.
Well, so is she.Okay, do you remember Becca?
No. Exactly, 'cause there were no strings attached.
Okay, it's time to close this app.
Okay, but, but, Todd, do you think
Allison is that unhappy in her marriage?
I don't know. I thought they were fine.
Well, find out.
Go to her house... And what?
I'm barred from going in, remember?
Well, go find evidence, proof.
Find that sweater. This is your sister's marriage.
Exactly. Not yours to meddle in.
It's not meddling.
I'm her mother. This is what mothers do.
What, they invade their children's privacy
and don't trust them to run their own lives?
Wait, ah, ah.
I am going inside, and since you are now

Go on. Go, go, go. Now. Go.
Come out!
Worst best friend ever!
Don't make me come after you again.[rings doorbell]
'Cause I'll keep coming until you tell the truth!
Your Honor,
defense's new evidence shows that this case
is a desperate attempt by the plaintiff
to wring my client dry for money that she isn't due.
Counselor?
Uh, yes.
Plaintiff is amending our complaint.
Yeah, again. Uh, affidavits from the phone company certifying
texts from PDtroniX's head of digital marketing
Mason Keen to Jane Lin after she ended their
romantic relationship.
The texts savagely harass Ms. Lin--
132 texts in all--
trying to force my client to quit, and creating
a hostile work environment.
Uh, copies of...
Yes. Right here.
Uh... here you go.
Yeah, thank you.
[watch beeping]Oh. Oh!
Oh?
Your Honor, if I don't eat right now,
I don't get any food for another five hours.
Bon appétit.Yes.
My client knew about the relationship
between Jane and Mason,
but he didn't know about the texts.
Bull.
Jane asked Graham for help.
Well, she didn't disclose the texts.
She only said the relationship went south.
Went sou...
Did you read those texts?
He tried to crush her.
You are crabby when you don't eat.
I'll be better after I digest.
All right, admit you lost the harassment
and the wrongful termination parts of the case.
Only if you admit you have no proof the app was stolen.
I'm pretty good at fighting.
I don't run out of energy.
Oh, I know.
I've seen all the amended complaints.
You sure you want to keep going?
I have stamina of my own.
Ever been on a dating app?
What? No. [scoffs]
I am a married woman. I-I am wearing a wedding ring.
People break up,
get dumped, they do crazy things.
Lie, cheat and steal.
Cover up for people who lie, cheat and steal.
I'd keep looking into your client, if I were you.
Oh... you forgot your muffin.
[clears throat]
What did you find out about Allison?
Nothing.
I am not going to break into someone's house
after I was told not to go inside.
Trust needs to be earned, remember?
Fine, I'll do it myself.What?
No, Mom, you are terrible at covert operations.
Mom! Seriously?
Mom. Mom.
[hushed]: Okay, it's my red striped sweater.
And if we find it here, we will know that
that was Allison on the dating profile.
I don't know why you're whispering.
Nobody's home.
ALLISON: What are you doing?
Allison?
Is she here?
Yeah, hi, Todd.
I have a security system.
What are you doing in my house?
Uh, can you see me?
No. You tripped the motion sensors.
And who else would let themselves into my house
with a key?
Uh, well, uh, I have a reason.
Okay.There's a-a leak.
There's a little bit of a drip coming from the ceiling.
It's a little quiet. You have to listen carefully.
Can you hear that?
No.
Okay, well, there's...
Now can you hear it?
No. Still no.
Okay, well, it was really loud yesterday.
I don't know what to tell you.
Oh, my gosh.
Is this her new backsplash?
It's dreadful.
Um, is that Mom? Is Mom there with you?
No, no, Mom is definitely not here.
I specifically told her not White Sand
but Scottish Mist.
This is heinous.
Todd, what is going on?
Well, actually, you know what,
I think the leak is upstairs.
The bathroom near the closet, where all the clothes are.
Can you check for me, please?Yeah.
Checking.
Okay, so we checked their bedroom.
This is the last room in the house.Okay.
Al, you still with me?
I'm at the beach, but, yeah, I'm still talking to you, Todd.
Sorry.
Um, is there water on the floor?
What are you seeing?
Uh, you know what, it's not so much seeing,
it's more hearing, but I-I think that
the drip has stopped.
Yeah. I'm not hearing anything.
[toilet flushes]
[sighs]
[mouths]
I couldn't hold it.
Oh, my goodness,
what is the plan for all these pillows?
They don't match at all.
I swear I can hear Mom's voice.You know what,
my shoes are a little squeaky-- they're new.
But, Al, I actually think that the leak has stopped.
I think, uh, yeah, I think that we're...
all good.My goodness,
this doesn't go here.
This is all feng shui...
Okay.
[straining]: This has to move here, like so.
Can you just call a plumber?
You know what, I'll call a plumber right away,
just to be safe,but, uh,
yeah, I-I-I think we're good.
You just go back to your vacation, okay?
I am leaving.
I'm leaving.
What are you doing in my office?
What are you, some kind of...
Savant?...freak?
How'd you do this?
Well, I walked past your office
and couldn't resist a puzzle.
But maybe I found something.
It's computer code, with a key algorithm.
And a date stamp of March 12th.
That's Jane's birthday.
Wait, this could be her breakthrough code.
But how did it get from her private computer
to PDtroniX's shredder?
Wait, everyone's watching everyone all the time.
Especially a tech company
that's developing a new app that connects their employees 24-7.
It's called FamOnTheWall.
It's one of those inner circle things
that tracks location.
You know, some can monitor keystrokes,
texts, videos, and maybe even
steal their documents.Steal their documents.
If Jane was there when FamOnTheWall went into beta,
she would have put it on her devices, too.
Right. Which means
anyone at PDtroniX, including Mason,
could have accessed her code.
We got to go talk to my mom.Go talk to your mom.
Mom, breakthrough.
Okay, Jane created her big code
the night of her birthday.
March 12, 2021.
Mason Keen shredded computer code dated...
March 12, 2021.
Did you really just bring me in here
to repeat "March 12, 2021"?
And PDtroniX has a new app in development
that every employee has signed up for,
which might be spying on their work.
We need to go to the judge and get a warrant for
all of Mason Keen's devices.
Intriguing, yes.
But I can't get a warrant against my own client.
Oh, come on, we all know who the villain in this case is.
Aren't defense attorneys supposed to fight
for the little guy?
We're not gonna let her lose, are we?
Todd, PDtroniX is my client.
I am bound by the rules of professional conduct.
My hands are tied.
Margaret, you're gonna want to see this.
Just got an email from Graham
with a video from Jane attached.
I know PDtroniX didn't steal my code.
What?
I didn't create the Unexpected Flame app.
I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused, Graham.
It's all yours.
Did she just apologize?
Throw the case?
So that's it? It's over? We won?
If you combine Jane's breaking, entering,
attempted assault charges, and apology,
Gus won't have a leg to stand on.
I really believed Jane wrote that code.
Well, then why would she apologize if she did?
I don't know.
Why don't I call Gus, tell him we'll settle
on the harassment and wrongful termination,
then maybe I can get Graham to withdraw
the non-compete.
So she'll at least be able to keep working?
Eh, she can bounce back from disaster.
I know someone else who did.
Gus.
Jane's parking.
Graham, too.
I thought this room was empty.
Why aren't you...?In reception?
Waiting among all your expensive furniture
and Christmas candy, trying to throw me off?
I asked them to put me in here instead.
Trying to throw me off.Is it working?
How did you get involved with this case?
When I joined, Jane was acting pro se.
Well, I got onto this dating app,
first one since my divorce.
I, you know, I liked the idea that you could...
...be surprised by somebody.
Anyway, um, I looked up the app and saw the lawsuit. You?
Um, one of our partners broke his leg.
No, I meant Unexpected Flame.
Seeing you on there was quite a surprise,
especially with that wedding band.
So, you married or dating? Or both?
Well, I...
I like peanut butter.
Oh, sorry, I, um... Hi.
Graham, come in.
Come. Sit. Thank you.
All right. Sit down.
[elevator bell chimes]
Kevin?
Hmm?
What are you doing here?Oh...
Do cosmetologists need lawyers?
No, actually, uh, my name isn't Kevin.
It's Hector, and...[sighs]
No, my name is Todd Wright.
My mother is Margaret Wright,
and she's actually a partner here.
Wait, you're working with PDtroniX.
No, no, no, I...
Yes. I just...
I believed you.
I believed that you were wronged,
and I was trying to help from the inside,
so I just have to ask,
why did you make that video?
What are you talking about?The video that you made.
Here.
JANE [on video]: I know PDtroniX
didn't steal my code.
Where are you going? Wait, what about the meeting?
I'm getting proof of what's mine once and for all.
Wait. No, no, no...Tell them to go to hell.
Todd. What...
[elevator bell chimes]
Oh, if it isn't Johann.
Oh, hey, hi.
Uh, turns out I got a callback interview.
Did you, now?Yeah. So I'm just gonna need you
to let me back there to see Mason.
Oh, Mason, who's been suspended?
Of course, right.
So, uh, my interview must be someone else named...
Security.No, no, no, that's not the name I was thinking.
I am calling... Security.
Uh, Jane, wait, no, no, no, no, no.
Get out of the way.
Wait, why would you come here
and break your restraining order?
Risk everything after you apologized?
I didn't apologize. I didn't make that video.
You tell those traitors...
It's a fake?
The apology video is a deepfake. I'll fix this.
I will.
JANE: I didn't create the Unexpected Flame app.
I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused, Graham.
Jane didn't make that video. It's a deepfake.
Look, PDtroniX is a tech company,
so somebody there took video footage of Jane
and married it to her voice
to make a fake apology. Here.
PDtroniX stole my computer code!
Now you'll be sorry for all the trouble you caused!
She's using the same words she used in the apology video.Exactly.
Except her voice is different.Voice-alteration technology, Mom.
And she was calm in the apology video.
Yes, but she's one of the founders.
So they must have just taken some old, boring corporate video
they had on file,
and the one person who has access to every digital file...
Is Mason.
But in order to confirm that,
we need a warrant for his devices.
Right, which is working against our client,
and we have to play by the rules, I know, I know.
Not necessarily so.
If Mason really was the only one behind this,
there is a way that everyone can win, and Jane, too.Okay.
I just need to-- Uh, there's something I have to...
I just need to... How are we going to...?
Yes, we can do this.
But I'm going to need your help.
When somebody else is speaking,
get close to them for the mic.Okay.
And, uh, we have all the easy words.
You just need to get the unique ones.Get the unique ones.
You got this, okay?Okay, I got it. Okay.
Let's go.You got it?
I got it.Okay, good.
So, then you and Jane Lin had a relationship,
which she broke off.Yeah.
And after she broke it off, you sent her
132 harassing texts.
I texted her.
Did you want her fired?
Yeah. And she went right out
and proved she was crazy.
Right?
Well, she's not the one who sent the texts
and then organized the whole company against her.
Objection. Counsel is testifying.
Withdrawn. Your witness.
Um... [clears throat]
Audio works? Audio works.
I hear her. We are a go.
As head of digital marketing,
you were in charge of all digital content.
Is that correct?Yes.
Video.[watch vibrates]
Did you say "video"?
I didn't say "video."
Ah. Yes.
Yes, Mom.
Yes, that's fine.
Fam. Wall.
[buzzing]
Um, would you consider the other members of your team
like a big fam? A fam?
MARGARGET: As if there were
no walls among you?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Would you answer
in complete sentences, please?
I don't know why you're talking about walls.
Wonderful.
Bonus. [buzzing]
MARGARET: Uh, it must have
been a... a bonus,
having no walls?A bonus?
GUS: Objection?
Uh, for-- I-I don't know-- weirdness?
If Your Honor would give me some leeway...
Okay.
[buzzing]
Being accused of stealing must have felt...
I didn't steal anything!From an ex-flame?
She wasn't a flame. She was a psycho.
Unexpected.
Was it...
unexpected?
Again, complete sentences.Objection!
What the hell is this?
This whole thing is unexpected.
[grunts]
Got him!
[buzzing]
Your Honor,
I would submit that the plaintiff is fully justified
in its accusations of my client and its criminal behavior
inside PDtroniX.
And now we have proof.
I know exactly what I'm doing.
No, don't worry about it, it's going to be fine.
I'm just gonna get some water.
If you move your finger...How soon?
Really soon. Uh, we'll text you.
Hurry!
JUDGE: Ms. Wright,
you want to tell us what that was?
Your Honor, in-in m-matters
of wrongful termination, the plaintiff must prove
that he or she was fired for...
You did not do all this
so that you can counsel me on the law, right?
[phone chimes]No. Oh.
I'd like to play a recording.
Oh, come on. I object.
If it proves defense has something actually legal
to do here?
The voice you are about to hear is that of Mason Keen.
MASON: I used our FamOnTheWall app to steal Jane's code
for Unexpected Flame and take the bonus.
MASON: What? I didn't say that!
Whatever that bitch is doing, she deserved everything
that happened to her.All right, all right, all right.
Happened to her. You mean after
you harassed her and then used FamOnTheWall to spy on her?
JUDGE: Ms. Wright, you are
wading dangerously close to being disbarred
for not protecting your client.
But I am protecting my client.
My client is PDtroniX,
and I believe Mason Keen is a bad actor
who created a deepfake of Jane Lin
to cover his theft
of her work, and that theft has earned him
multiple bonuses, which means he is accepting ill-gotten gains
and is participating
in an ongoing fraud and should be prosecuted
to the fullest extent of the law.
Defense hereby requests
a warrant for his phone and computer immediately.
You don't need a warrant.
I'm the boss, and your phone
is company property. Hand it over.
Hand it over, Mr. Keen.
[laughs]
Fine.
You swizzled the app to add
spyware on every employee?
He manipulated it so he could see what any employee typed,
even on their home computers or phones,
including Jane's.
You're fired.
GUS: And my client will receive credit
as the creator of Unexpected Flame.
With all the back pay and bonuses she deserves.
GUS: And restoration
of full equity and all charges dropped.GRAHAM: Yes.
Then... maybe you'll take your job back?
No. I'm gonna form my own company.
I'll have corporate papers drawn up by my new attorney--
Todd Wright.
Oh. [laughs] Well...
we have to talk.
[sighs]Well, that was some seriously...
Creative.
...diabolical lawyering.
[laughs] You're just mad
because I got the best of you for a second time.
You mean by proving my client was actually wronged
by your client?
So, new settlement conference where we all show up?
Just tell me what time of day you're allowed to eat,
and I'll put out a real spread.
Well,
I look forward to getting the best of you this time.
Ah.You did it.
Wedid it.Yes,
but you went to the mat for Jane and everyone.
Yes, I did.And you'd do
the same for me and Allison, too.
And the other one.
[laughs]All your kids.
This whole meddling and controlling
stuff and snooping is just for protection, isn't it?
Snooping?
You found my sweater in Allison's house, didn't you?
[sighs] It's in my office.
Uh, I don't know.
What do you want to do about it?
Uh...
I think that no one ever really knows
what goes on inside of anyone's marriage.
I mean, look at mine.
Hmm.And even though
I think Chuck is perfect for her,
I guess... put the sweater back.
And I won't say anything
until she tells me that she needs me.
Hmm.
[thunder rumbling]
I don't have a four-top.
I don't know the specials.
It's your job, Francisco.
How am I supposed to know that?[door opens]
[gasping]
God. You got to stop doing that. I could have killed you!
With an old plastic Wiffle ball bat? I don't think so.
Anyway, we're home.
You can shower in the house again.
Great.
Are you okay?
Yeah, just, um...
Did you sleep in my guest room?
What? No. Why?
'Cause everything in that room is, like, nice now.
Like, the pillows and the dresser got... rearranged.
What were you really doing in my house?
I know it wasn't a leak.
I was...
Did you put up a dating profile on Unexpected Flame?
Mom thought she saw it when she was working on a case.
It looked like you were wearing her red striped sweater?
So, yeah, I went in to see if I could... find it.
And did you?
My whole life has been designed by Mom.
Like, I was always the good girl and I did what I was told
and I became a doctor, I married Chuck.
Do you... not love Chuck anymore?
No, I do.
I-I do. I just, um...
I just never made a choice for myself, and...
I think maybe I wondered what it would be like
to have something...
unexpected... happen.
CHUCK:Hey, Al, want me to unpack your suitcase
and start the laundry?
Al?
Please don't tell him.
One of the nurses mentioned the app at work,
and I downloaded it on a whim.
I-I never planned to...
We're fine.
I'll delete the app.
I barely even looked at it. I just...
Please don't tell him.
I won't. I wouldn't.
You could trust me.
Thank you.
Um...
...did you tell Mom that you found the sweater?
No.
Okay.
