1
00:00:10,278 --> 00:00:11,979
Previously on Matlock...
2
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,814
Sorry, who are you?
Madeline Madlock.
3
00:00:13,914 --> 00:00:16,050
Like the old TV show.
4
00:00:16,150 --> 00:00:17,818
Why do you want
to work at my firm?
5
00:00:17,918 --> 00:00:19,787
I need to make some money
because I'm bitter and broke.
6
00:00:19,887 --> 00:00:22,556
Good evening, Mrs. Kingston.
7
00:00:22,656 --> 00:00:24,892
There she is,
our conquering hero.
8
00:00:24,992 --> 00:00:27,495
You'd be a lot
less cheery if you knew
9
00:00:27,595 --> 00:00:29,029
how I talked
about you at work.
10
00:00:29,130 --> 00:00:32,433
Gambling, cheating.
Not to mention dead.
11
00:00:32,533 --> 00:00:33,801
So, when do you get
to work on drug cases?
12
00:00:33,901 --> 00:00:35,636
I have to build up
a little trust first.
13
00:00:35,736 --> 00:00:38,005
One of those three hid documents
14
00:00:38,106 --> 00:00:40,341
that could've taken
opioids off the market
15
00:00:40,441 --> 00:00:41,809
ten years earlier.
16
00:00:41,909 --> 00:00:43,511
Think of how many lives
that could have saved.
17
00:00:43,611 --> 00:00:45,213
Including our daughter's.
18
00:00:45,313 --> 00:00:46,647
Trust comes hard to me.
19
00:00:46,747 --> 00:00:48,516
And that's not fair when
we're working together,
20
00:00:48,616 --> 00:00:51,285
which I'm glad we are doing.
21
00:00:51,385 --> 00:00:52,620
Me, too.
22
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,722
I think we got it.
I knew it. Let's go.
23
00:00:55,556 --> 00:00:57,791
MATTY:
You wanted passcodes, kid?
24
00:00:57,891 --> 00:01:00,828
Well, now we know how to get
into Olympia's phone.
25
00:01:02,496 --> 00:01:05,966
MATTY: Okay,
married, two kids.
26
00:01:06,134 --> 00:01:07,435
NYU grad.
27
00:01:07,535 --> 00:01:08,802
What else you got there, kiddo?
28
00:01:08,902 --> 00:01:10,738
ALFIE:
Uh, he coaches
his son's Little League.
29
00:01:10,838 --> 00:01:12,406
They have a terrible record.
30
00:01:12,506 --> 00:01:14,041
How's the profiling going?
31
00:01:14,142 --> 00:01:16,744
Well, we haven't found
our way in just yet.
32
00:01:16,844 --> 00:01:17,745
Used to be a Marine...
33
00:01:17,845 --> 00:01:21,048
Oh. Hang on.
34
00:01:22,583 --> 00:01:24,418
Yeah...
35
00:01:24,518 --> 00:01:27,488
Now that's something
I can work with.
36
00:01:27,588 --> 00:01:29,157
OLYPMIA:
Joelle Miller.
37
00:01:29,257 --> 00:01:31,158
What do we know?
Okay, her court
questionnaire says...
38
00:01:31,159 --> 00:01:33,294
I read it, I'm looking
for deeper insight.
39
00:01:33,394 --> 00:01:36,029
He said/she said cases
are all about nuance.
40
00:01:36,164 --> 00:01:39,167
Here's what I found: Joelle
Miller was fired two years ago
41
00:01:39,267 --> 00:01:42,270
and posted repeatedly that
it was, quote, "so unfair."
42
00:01:42,370 --> 00:01:45,206
Good. So, she'll be empathetic
to a wrongful termination case.
43
00:01:45,306 --> 00:01:46,440
Not so fast.
44
00:01:46,540 --> 00:01:47,775
I went back further
and Joelle couldn't make
45
00:01:47,875 --> 00:01:48,942
her cousin's graduation
four years ago,
46
00:01:49,042 --> 00:01:50,478
but posted on Instagram,
47
00:01:50,578 --> 00:01:53,647
"Congratulations. Can't wait
to see you make it rain at..."
48
00:01:53,747 --> 00:01:56,617
Lock Stone Capital.
49
00:01:56,717 --> 00:01:58,752
Ms. Miller, you told the court
that you have no relationship
50
00:01:58,852 --> 00:01:59,953
to the defendant's firm,
51
00:02:00,188 --> 00:02:01,189
but doesn't
your cousin work at
52
00:02:01,289 --> 00:02:02,723
one of their branches
in San Diego?
53
00:02:02,823 --> 00:02:05,793
Oh, Laura?
W-We hardly talk anymore.
54
00:02:05,893 --> 00:02:07,295
Hmm. So you wouldn't
have a problem
55
00:02:07,395 --> 00:02:09,863
delivering a guilty verdict
against her company?
56
00:02:09,963 --> 00:02:12,266
I mean, that wouldn't make
Thanksgiving awkward?
57
00:02:13,201 --> 00:02:14,435
Move to strike for cause.
58
00:02:14,535 --> 00:02:16,370
Zach Brammer. No red flags
on his questionnaire
59
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:18,506
or Instagram and I
went back five years, so...
60
00:02:18,606 --> 00:02:20,073
Fraternity brother
was #MeToo'd.
61
00:02:20,208 --> 00:02:21,942
Peremptory challenge
on juror ten.
62
00:02:22,042 --> 00:02:23,444
Tony Lambiase is up next and...
63
00:02:23,544 --> 00:02:25,246
I got him at a candlelight vigil
for Take Back the Night.
64
00:02:25,346 --> 00:02:27,047
Relax, research
is her thing.
65
00:02:27,215 --> 00:02:28,549
We all have our things.
66
00:02:28,649 --> 00:02:30,718
Peremptory challenge
on juror 16.
67
00:02:30,818 --> 00:02:31,952
Steer clear of Peter Harper.
68
00:02:32,052 --> 00:02:33,587
Peremptory challenge
on juror 26.
69
00:02:33,687 --> 00:02:35,289
We need 41, we need 41.
70
00:02:35,389 --> 00:02:38,526
Yes. We'll accept 41
as our final juror.
71
00:02:41,429 --> 00:02:42,596
Good job, you three.
72
00:02:42,696 --> 00:02:44,698
BOLDING: Looks like
we have our jury.
73
00:02:44,798 --> 00:02:46,367
I'd like to thank everyone
for...
74
00:02:46,467 --> 00:02:48,135
(phone ringing)
75
00:02:48,969 --> 00:02:50,904
Whose phone is that?
76
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,707
(ringing)
77
00:02:53,807 --> 00:02:56,076
(ringing)
78
00:02:56,244 --> 00:02:58,812
Oh, I'm so sorry,
Judge Bolding, it's me.
79
00:02:58,912 --> 00:03:00,781
Oh, for heaven's sake,
80
00:03:00,881 --> 00:03:02,850
I thought that
was the silence button.
81
00:03:02,950 --> 00:03:05,118
God, I can't believe this.
(ringing)
82
00:03:05,253 --> 00:03:06,320
I, uh...
83
00:03:06,420 --> 00:03:07,688
(ringing)
84
00:03:07,788 --> 00:03:09,323
It's asking for my code again.
85
00:03:09,423 --> 00:03:11,259
Turn that off right now!
MATTY: Locked out?
86
00:03:11,359 --> 00:03:13,126
Oh, fudge it.
(muffled ringing)
87
00:03:13,261 --> 00:03:14,328
(gallery chuckling)
88
00:03:14,428 --> 00:03:17,298
You were saying, Judge Bolding?
89
00:03:17,398 --> 00:03:20,100
I was saying no phones
in my courtroom from now on.
90
00:03:21,068 --> 00:03:22,169
MATTY:
It worked.
91
00:03:22,270 --> 00:03:23,837
The judge banned
all phones from court
92
00:03:23,937 --> 00:03:25,038
for the rest of the trial.
93
00:03:25,138 --> 00:03:28,542
Well, to a bad job, well done.
94
00:03:28,642 --> 00:03:30,143
(chuckles)
95
00:03:33,046 --> 00:03:34,315
ALFIE:
Well, step one
is well done.
96
00:03:34,415 --> 00:03:35,916
Now you have to get
Olympia's phone
97
00:03:36,016 --> 00:03:37,618
so you can unlock her computer.
98
00:03:37,718 --> 00:03:39,287
And access her emails.
I know, I know.
99
00:03:39,387 --> 00:03:41,288
You're stressing me out, kid.
100
00:03:41,289 --> 00:03:44,558
So, tomorrow?
Yep, when Olympia's in court.
101
00:03:44,658 --> 00:03:46,059
And I don't have to be there
102
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:47,961
because I pissed off
the Honorable Judge Bolding.
103
00:03:48,061 --> 00:03:50,498
I'm thrilled.
This case is such a stinker.
104
00:03:50,598 --> 00:03:52,900
Why's that?
Sexual harassment,
105
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,002
wrongful termination
and shaky evidence.
106
00:03:55,102 --> 00:03:56,704
To win, you have to be a nun.
107
00:03:56,804 --> 00:03:58,739
Lose, you set us back 50 years.
108
00:03:58,839 --> 00:04:00,307
Well, what's the plaintiff like?
109
00:04:00,308 --> 00:04:03,010
Nice girl. Not a nun.
110
00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:04,878
What's wrong with
this shirt, again?
111
00:04:04,978 --> 00:04:07,415
It's just a teensy
bit loud, darlin'.
112
00:04:07,515 --> 00:04:09,149
Course, not as loud
as my phone.
113
00:04:09,317 --> 00:04:11,084
And I'm, again,
so sorry about that.
114
00:04:11,184 --> 00:04:13,354
Ah, stop. I'm just glad
it was you and not me.
115
00:04:13,454 --> 00:04:15,022
I'm usually
the chaos agent.
116
00:04:15,122 --> 00:04:16,524
That's why I'm so nervous
to testify.
117
00:04:16,624 --> 00:04:17,891
I feel like I'm gonna
say the wrong thing.
118
00:04:17,991 --> 00:04:19,660
Just tell the truth.
119
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,595
You know? But just maybe,
120
00:04:21,695 --> 00:04:23,330
maybe in a jacket, yeah?
121
00:04:23,331 --> 00:04:25,699
So nobody gets distracted
by those boobies.
122
00:04:25,799 --> 00:04:27,134
But isn't that the point?
123
00:04:27,234 --> 00:04:30,070
I can have my boobies out
and it shouldn't matter.
124
00:04:31,372 --> 00:04:33,173
I'm just messing
with you, Matty.
125
00:04:33,341 --> 00:04:35,075
I understand perception.
126
00:04:35,175 --> 00:04:36,810
(Billy chuckles)
127
00:04:36,910 --> 00:04:38,546
Um...
128
00:04:38,646 --> 00:04:40,013
Did either of you
notice Olympia
129
00:04:40,113 --> 00:04:41,449
overlook me
during voir dire?
130
00:04:41,549 --> 00:04:42,950
I absolutely nailed
the research.
131
00:04:43,050 --> 00:04:44,217
I mean, I was
playing 3D chess
132
00:04:44,352 --> 00:04:46,053
while you two were
playing tic-tac-toe.
133
00:04:46,153 --> 00:04:47,421
But she said
"good job, you three."
134
00:04:47,521 --> 00:04:48,789
Does she not
like me?
What's not to like?
135
00:04:48,889 --> 00:04:50,658
Should I ask her?
136
00:04:50,758 --> 00:04:52,359
No, definitely not.
137
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,762
I'm going to.
I assumed.
138
00:04:57,698 --> 00:04:59,066
How's the split?
139
00:04:59,166 --> 00:05:00,367
Way better.
Mm.
140
00:05:00,368 --> 00:05:02,069
Julian and I are
finally getting along.
141
00:05:02,169 --> 00:05:03,203
I was talking
about your jury.
142
00:05:03,371 --> 00:05:04,505
Oh, I know.
143
00:05:04,605 --> 00:05:06,173
But I'm happier about
Julian than the jury,
144
00:05:06,273 --> 00:05:07,908
which could go either way.
145
00:05:08,008 --> 00:05:11,645
Elijah, how long
till November?
146
00:05:11,745 --> 00:05:13,113
So we can...
147
00:05:13,213 --> 00:05:15,248
study that jury.
148
00:05:15,383 --> 00:05:16,817
Hey, Julian.
JULIAN: Hey.
149
00:05:16,917 --> 00:05:19,086
Heard you have a tight margin
on your he said/she said.
150
00:05:19,186 --> 00:05:20,688
You know who you should get?
151
00:05:20,788 --> 00:05:21,989
Don't say the Meerkat.
152
00:05:22,089 --> 00:05:23,557
JULIAN: I wasn't going
to say the Meerkat
153
00:05:23,657 --> 00:05:25,192
because you're the only one
who calls her that.
154
00:05:25,292 --> 00:05:27,060
He's just jealous because
his nicknames don't stick.
155
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,762
Mine? They stick.
156
00:05:28,862 --> 00:05:31,198
Because she makes them stick,
to the point of discomfort...
157
00:05:31,298 --> 00:05:32,299
That is not true.
Our dry cleaner?
158
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,501
Riverboat Ron.
159
00:05:33,601 --> 00:05:35,202
It caught on.
Admit that it caught on.
160
00:05:35,302 --> 00:05:37,905
All right, I'm, uh, taking off
before you give me a nickname.
161
00:05:38,005 --> 00:05:39,406
(laughter)
162
00:05:39,407 --> 00:05:40,908
JULIAN:
He just challenged you.
163
00:05:41,008 --> 00:05:42,142
Big E?
164
00:05:42,242 --> 00:05:43,511
Mm-mm.
165
00:05:43,611 --> 00:05:45,646
Fine, but I'm serious
about the Meerkat.
166
00:05:45,746 --> 00:05:48,982
Ah...
Ah, Shae. She owes
the firm pro bono hours.
167
00:05:49,082 --> 00:05:50,851
Hard pass.
168
00:05:50,951 --> 00:05:51,985
All right.
169
00:05:52,085 --> 00:05:53,821
OLYMPIA:
Oh.
170
00:05:53,921 --> 00:05:54,955
Alex, you look great.
171
00:05:55,055 --> 00:05:57,758
All right,
let's go.
172
00:05:57,858 --> 00:05:59,527
Olympia, real quick.
173
00:05:59,627 --> 00:06:02,295
So I'm sure you noticed
how I crushed voir dire.
174
00:06:02,430 --> 00:06:03,697
And it's not that
I need credit
175
00:06:03,797 --> 00:06:05,499
because I am not
that kind of person.
176
00:06:05,599 --> 00:06:07,134
But I just wanted to make
sure that I didn't
177
00:06:07,234 --> 00:06:08,569
do anything
to make you...
178
00:06:08,669 --> 00:06:10,638
displeased
with my work.
179
00:06:10,738 --> 00:06:12,305
(elevator bell dings)
You know what you did.
180
00:06:14,274 --> 00:06:16,444
(elevator closes)
181
00:06:19,947 --> 00:06:21,782
Here are the hard copies
of those emails you asked for.
182
00:06:21,882 --> 00:06:24,985
And were you referring
to the mistake that I made
183
00:06:25,085 --> 00:06:26,219
on the Zander brief?
184
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:27,455
I corrected it.
185
00:06:27,555 --> 00:06:28,489
I didn't think
you would notice.
186
00:06:28,589 --> 00:06:29,790
It wasn't
the Zander brief.
187
00:06:29,890 --> 00:06:31,258
Everyone ready?
188
00:06:33,461 --> 00:06:34,461
Good luck, everybody.
189
00:06:34,462 --> 00:06:36,463
And just a reminder,
no phones.
190
00:06:36,464 --> 00:06:37,931
I'll keep them safe.
191
00:06:38,031 --> 00:06:39,833
Wait, you're not coming?
192
00:06:39,933 --> 00:06:42,002
Um, Judge Bolding
isn't a fan of mine,
193
00:06:42,102 --> 00:06:44,505
so I just, uh, best not
give him a reason
194
00:06:44,605 --> 00:06:46,339
to rule against us.
Right, boss?
195
00:06:46,474 --> 00:06:48,476
Actually, I think
you should come.
196
00:06:48,576 --> 00:06:50,611
Alex finds you comforting
197
00:06:50,711 --> 00:06:53,714
and she has a tough day
of questioning ahead.
198
00:06:53,814 --> 00:06:55,583
(door opens)
199
00:07:03,491 --> 00:07:05,993
No. I had no interest
in Jeremy.
200
00:07:06,093 --> 00:07:07,695
I wasn't attracted to him,
201
00:07:07,795 --> 00:07:10,197
but more importantly,
he was my boss.
202
00:07:10,297 --> 00:07:11,699
I...
203
00:07:11,799 --> 00:07:15,603
could never imagine
being with him in that way.
204
00:07:17,004 --> 00:07:19,807
OLYMPIA:
Let's talk about
the holiday party.
205
00:07:19,907 --> 00:07:22,075
You were drinking?
ALEX: Yes.
206
00:07:22,175 --> 00:07:23,510
Everyone was, heavily.
207
00:07:23,511 --> 00:07:24,845
That's just the way
our work parties go.
208
00:07:24,945 --> 00:07:27,080
And when did you first
encounter your boss
209
00:07:27,180 --> 00:07:28,649
Jeremy Brooks?
210
00:07:29,683 --> 00:07:32,219
Early on,
he came up to me,
211
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:33,386
complimented me
on my dress,
212
00:07:33,521 --> 00:07:35,823
how it "made my body
look banging."
213
00:07:36,690 --> 00:07:38,158
Was that the first time
he used comments like that?
214
00:07:38,258 --> 00:07:39,226
ALEX:
No.
215
00:07:39,326 --> 00:07:41,328
He would always be at my desk
216
00:07:41,428 --> 00:07:43,697
or seeking me out on work trips.
217
00:07:43,797 --> 00:07:47,067
It made me really
uncomfortable.
218
00:07:47,167 --> 00:07:49,536
But I never
reported it
219
00:07:49,537 --> 00:07:52,072
because this was my dream job.
220
00:07:52,172 --> 00:07:55,843
In your own words, Alex,
221
00:07:55,943 --> 00:07:57,811
tell us what happened
in the coat closet
222
00:07:57,911 --> 00:07:59,980
the night of the holiday party.
223
00:08:01,549 --> 00:08:03,150
(mouths)
224
00:08:03,250 --> 00:08:05,152
(breathes deeply)
225
00:08:05,252 --> 00:08:06,186
ALEX:
Well,
226
00:08:06,286 --> 00:08:08,055
around midnight,
227
00:08:08,155 --> 00:08:10,290
I started to feel sick,
228
00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:12,660
so I went
to go get my coat.
229
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:13,994
And Jeremy followed me.
230
00:08:14,094 --> 00:08:18,899
And, um, he got handsy,
I guess you would say.
231
00:08:19,667 --> 00:08:22,770
I tried to push him off,
but he kept coming,
232
00:08:22,870 --> 00:08:27,440
and he touched
my butt and breasts
233
00:08:27,575 --> 00:08:29,142
and pulled down my dress...
234
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,745
Do you think that he was just
trying to "help you stand up"?
235
00:08:31,845 --> 00:08:33,847
Absolutely not.
236
00:08:33,947 --> 00:08:36,349
I-I was drunk, but I knew
exactly what he was doing.
237
00:08:36,449 --> 00:08:39,286
And the only reason why
he stopped is because...
238
00:08:40,053 --> 00:08:41,588
...I threw up on the floor.
239
00:08:41,589 --> 00:08:43,724
OLYMPIA:
And then what?
240
00:08:43,824 --> 00:08:45,158
The next day after it happened,
241
00:08:45,258 --> 00:08:47,628
I went into a meeting,
and Jeremy was there,
242
00:08:47,728 --> 00:08:49,863
and I had
a panic attack.
243
00:08:49,963 --> 00:08:52,900
And then they kept happening,
so I tried avoiding him,
244
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,601
which meant skipping out
on meetings.
245
00:08:54,602 --> 00:08:56,770
So, yeah,
my work slipped.
246
00:08:56,870 --> 00:08:59,640
But my work slipped
because of what he did.
247
00:08:59,740 --> 00:09:01,174
I shouldn't
have been fired,
248
00:09:01,274 --> 00:09:02,910
he should have been.
249
00:09:04,111 --> 00:09:06,179
OLYMPIA:
No further questions.
250
00:09:09,917 --> 00:09:11,985
Ms. Ramos, you stated earlier
251
00:09:12,085 --> 00:09:13,754
that you would never
jeopardize your career
252
00:09:13,854 --> 00:09:15,923
by dating someone you work
with, is that correct?
253
00:09:16,023 --> 00:09:17,658
Yes.
Could you tell me
the nature
254
00:09:17,758 --> 00:09:19,960
of your relationship
with Derek Liu?
255
00:09:21,795 --> 00:09:23,096
ALEX:
Uh...
256
00:09:23,196 --> 00:09:26,366
Um, Derek and I dated
for about six months...
257
00:09:26,466 --> 00:09:27,668
And did you work together?
258
00:09:27,768 --> 00:09:29,336
ALEX:
Uh, sort of, yeah.
259
00:09:29,436 --> 00:09:30,671
DEFENSE COUNSEL:
Well, I mean, it's
a yes or no question, right?
260
00:09:30,771 --> 00:09:33,106
Were you or were you not
261
00:09:33,206 --> 00:09:34,875
in a romantic relationship
with Derek Liu
262
00:09:34,975 --> 00:09:37,177
while you both were
working at the firm?
263
00:09:37,277 --> 00:09:38,645
Yes, but I...
264
00:09:38,646 --> 00:09:40,347
You also testified that
you could never imagine
265
00:09:40,447 --> 00:09:41,715
having a romantic relationship
266
00:09:41,815 --> 00:09:43,650
with your boss Mr. Brooks,
is that correct?
267
00:09:43,651 --> 00:09:45,385
Yes, that's correct.
Permission to
approach the bench
268
00:09:45,485 --> 00:09:47,921
with some sensitive
impeachment evidence?
269
00:09:51,324 --> 00:09:53,661
Your Honor, this is a video
that Ms. Ramos and Mr. Liu made
270
00:09:53,761 --> 00:09:54,928
while they were dating.
271
00:09:55,028 --> 00:09:56,329
It just came into
our possession.
272
00:09:56,429 --> 00:09:58,031
But it does contain
some delicate content
273
00:09:58,131 --> 00:10:00,000
that proves
she lied under oath.
274
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:01,635
If that is what I think it is,
275
00:10:01,735 --> 00:10:02,636
it is highly prejudicial.
276
00:10:02,736 --> 00:10:04,204
I'll review it,
277
00:10:04,304 --> 00:10:06,373
and if it proves she lied
under oath, not much I can do.
278
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,275
Rules are rules.
279
00:10:10,443 --> 00:10:12,479
Hey, boss?
280
00:10:12,579 --> 00:10:13,781
Quick question.
281
00:10:13,881 --> 00:10:17,350
If I spank you with
this training manual,
282
00:10:17,450 --> 00:10:19,019
can I get a promotion?
283
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,354
(Alex moaning in video)
284
00:10:22,856 --> 00:10:24,324
Fix your face.
285
00:10:28,595 --> 00:10:30,130
Why didn't you tell us that
you dated someone at the firm?
286
00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:31,498
Because we met
before he was hired.
287
00:10:31,598 --> 00:10:33,433
And I broke up with him
a couple weeks after
288
00:10:33,533 --> 00:10:35,869
he got the job at Lock Stone
because he got the job there.
289
00:10:35,969 --> 00:10:38,605
I-I can't even imagine what
you must be thinking of me.
290
00:10:38,706 --> 00:10:40,340
Oh, I'm not one to judge.
291
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,342
OLYMPIA:
But the jury definitely is.
292
00:10:42,442 --> 00:10:44,111
Fair or not, you lost a lot
of credibility up there.
293
00:10:44,211 --> 00:10:47,214
Right. That's why
I was thinking...
294
00:10:49,216 --> 00:10:50,583
They attacked Alex,
295
00:10:50,684 --> 00:10:53,153
so we need to attack
Jeremy, too. Right?
296
00:10:53,253 --> 00:10:55,355
And I noticed some
inconsistencies in his résumé,
297
00:10:55,455 --> 00:10:57,791
coinciding with some
old social media posts
298
00:10:57,891 --> 00:10:59,359
where it looks like he's
volunteering at the park.
299
00:10:59,459 --> 00:11:01,729
I saw that.
#doinggoodthesedays.
300
00:11:01,829 --> 00:11:03,430
What does that...?
Well, it's a park
where I know they do
301
00:11:03,530 --> 00:11:05,032
court-ordered
community service.
302
00:11:05,132 --> 00:11:06,800
Look, I know Jeremy
doesn't have a record,
303
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:08,902
but maybe it was sealed.
So I thought we three can
304
00:11:09,002 --> 00:11:10,070
go down to the precinct
305
00:11:10,170 --> 00:11:11,739
and see what we can
dig up.
306
00:11:11,839 --> 00:11:14,574
That's a great idea, Billy. Go.
307
00:11:16,309 --> 00:11:18,411
In the meantime, I need
to lure the Meerkat
308
00:11:18,511 --> 00:11:20,613
out of whatever cave
she's currently hiding in.
309
00:11:20,748 --> 00:11:22,750
MATTY:
Who the heck is the Meerkat?
310
00:11:22,850 --> 00:11:25,485
Shae Banfield,
the firm's jury consultant.
311
00:11:25,585 --> 00:11:27,220
She's incredible.
312
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,589
A master of body language,
facial expressions,
313
00:11:29,757 --> 00:11:32,059
neurolinguistics...
A legit human lie detector.
314
00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:35,028
Huh. That's not possible.
315
00:11:35,128 --> 00:11:36,529
That's what I thought,
but she's insane.
316
00:11:36,629 --> 00:11:38,165
She can tell if someone's
even thinking about lying.
317
00:11:38,265 --> 00:11:39,199
Billy, do they know
you're coming?
318
00:11:39,299 --> 00:11:40,768
Oh, they know every move I make,
319
00:11:40,868 --> 00:11:41,769
whether I tell them or not.
320
00:11:41,869 --> 00:11:43,236
So, what's her thing?
321
00:11:43,336 --> 00:11:45,438
No eye contact?
Too much eye contact?
322
00:11:45,538 --> 00:11:47,207
Is she one of those
pheromone people?
323
00:11:47,307 --> 00:11:49,176
You know, 'cause there's
some shoddy science...
324
00:11:49,276 --> 00:11:51,778
You're under arrest!
You have the right
325
00:11:51,779 --> 00:11:55,148
to remain adorable.
326
00:11:55,248 --> 00:11:58,118
Well, you must be
Billy's sister Natalie.
327
00:11:58,218 --> 00:12:01,054
Look at my little
pechocho precioso.
328
00:12:01,154 --> 00:12:02,455
Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay.
329
00:12:02,555 --> 00:12:04,691
And this is my mom Grace.
You know Sarah.
330
00:12:04,792 --> 00:12:06,159
And this is...
331
00:12:06,259 --> 00:12:08,796
The famous Matty. It's so nice
to meet his work abuela.
332
00:12:08,896 --> 00:12:11,264
Ma, did you look up
the name I sent?
Yeah.
333
00:12:11,364 --> 00:12:12,565
The, uh, record is sealed,
so I can't tell you
334
00:12:12,665 --> 00:12:14,034
what the conviction was for
335
00:12:14,134 --> 00:12:15,903
or even if he had
a conviction at all.
336
00:12:16,003 --> 00:12:17,805
But I can tell you
you were right.
337
00:12:17,905 --> 00:12:20,640
The vest he's wearing in those
pictures is state-issued.
338
00:12:20,808 --> 00:12:22,175
MATTY:
Smart kid you got there.
Right?
339
00:12:22,275 --> 00:12:24,577
I don't know why he had
to go and be a lawyer.
340
00:12:24,677 --> 00:12:27,714
Mom, could you look up the
Park Department's employee
341
00:12:27,815 --> 00:12:29,216
who was responsible
for that park
342
00:12:29,316 --> 00:12:30,250
during the time
Jeremy was there?
343
00:12:30,350 --> 00:12:32,820
Sure. That I can do.
344
00:12:35,455 --> 00:12:37,457
Say, Natalie, uh,
345
00:12:37,557 --> 00:12:40,727
these two were going on
about a human lie detector.
346
00:12:40,828 --> 00:12:42,829
I mean, that just sounds
like a load of malarkey to me.
347
00:12:42,830 --> 00:12:45,232
Did you ever run across
a person like that?
Nah.
348
00:12:45,332 --> 00:12:47,500
They don't come work here.
349
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:48,835
They go to bougie law firms
350
00:12:48,836 --> 00:12:50,003
where they get paid
the big bucks.
351
00:12:50,103 --> 00:12:52,305
Huh.
352
00:12:56,176 --> 00:12:57,344
I really appreciate you
assigning
353
00:12:57,444 --> 00:12:58,846
your pro bono hours to this.
354
00:12:58,946 --> 00:13:00,213
I'm sure you do.
355
00:13:00,313 --> 00:13:01,681
'Cause based on
the voir dire record
356
00:13:01,849 --> 00:13:03,583
and the trial transcript,
I estimate that sex tape
357
00:13:03,683 --> 00:13:06,920
cost you at least...
four jurors.
358
00:13:07,020 --> 00:13:08,688
(sighs heavily)
359
00:13:08,856 --> 00:13:10,490
Should have called me in sooner.
360
00:13:10,590 --> 00:13:12,092
Wouldn't have changed
what happened today.
No.
361
00:13:12,192 --> 00:13:13,927
But it would have gotten you
a bigger margin to begin with.
362
00:13:14,027 --> 00:13:17,164
Ah, anyway, that's all,
what do they say?
363
00:13:17,264 --> 00:13:19,032
Water under Gramercy Tavern?
364
00:13:19,132 --> 00:13:21,734
Oh, is that what they say?
I'm just eager to get into court
365
00:13:21,869 --> 00:13:23,003
and observe the panel
for myself.
366
00:13:23,103 --> 00:13:24,271
Hmm.
I'll be able to tell
367
00:13:24,371 --> 00:13:26,373
who we can win back.
I'm always right.
368
00:13:26,473 --> 00:13:28,108
Oh, except
for Gramercy Tavern.
369
00:13:28,208 --> 00:13:29,609
Oh, I was right about that.
370
00:13:29,709 --> 00:13:31,544
(groans)
371
00:13:31,644 --> 00:13:34,047
This is Shae. She'll be
helping with our jury.
372
00:13:34,147 --> 00:13:35,548
Did you find anything useful?
373
00:13:35,648 --> 00:13:36,616
Jeremy's sudden urge
to volunteer
374
00:13:36,716 --> 00:13:37,584
was definitely court-ordered.
375
00:13:37,684 --> 00:13:38,952
Now, the records are sealed,
376
00:13:39,052 --> 00:13:41,054
but we got the list
of supervisors for each park
377
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:42,923
and then cross-referenced it
378
00:13:43,023 --> 00:13:44,891
with the dates of his
social media posts.
379
00:13:44,892 --> 00:13:46,093
So we know which employee
380
00:13:46,193 --> 00:13:47,660
signed off on his
community service.
381
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,463
An older woman named
Marla Freeport.
Excellent.
382
00:13:50,563 --> 00:13:52,199
You three go and
interview Marla
383
00:13:52,299 --> 00:13:55,368
and try and find anything.
Anything useful.
384
00:13:55,468 --> 00:13:58,005
SHAE:
Wait. Matlock, is it?
385
00:13:58,105 --> 00:14:00,974
You're staying with us.
Actually, um,
386
00:14:01,074 --> 00:14:02,976
I'm a pretty good interviewer,
not to toot my own horn.
387
00:14:03,076 --> 00:14:05,578
Toot away. But you know
what you're terrible at?
388
00:14:05,678 --> 00:14:07,547
Not reacting to sex tapes.
389
00:14:07,647 --> 00:14:09,316
And we can't let the image
of a scandalized old lady
390
00:14:09,416 --> 00:14:10,917
linger in the jury's mind.
391
00:14:10,918 --> 00:14:12,986
Right? So, while Olympia tries
to win them back on the stand,
392
00:14:13,086 --> 00:14:15,222
you're going to sit
right next to Alex.
393
00:14:15,322 --> 00:14:17,024
Show the jury
that you support her.
394
00:14:17,124 --> 00:14:18,525
And her orgasms.
395
00:14:18,625 --> 00:14:21,561
Which I certainly do,
believe you me, but, uh...
396
00:14:21,661 --> 00:14:25,198
aren't you worried
that it's gonna look
397
00:14:25,298 --> 00:14:28,368
a little engineered?
398
00:14:28,468 --> 00:14:30,670
Pupils are dilated,
your voice is tight,
399
00:14:30,770 --> 00:14:32,973
and you're perspiring
ever so slightly.
400
00:14:33,073 --> 00:14:34,474
Why are you nervous?
401
00:14:34,574 --> 00:14:37,377
Because I'm worried
I messed up the case.
402
00:14:37,477 --> 00:14:39,812
First with my phone,
then with my face.
403
00:14:39,947 --> 00:14:43,951
But if you think it'll be
helpful for me to come to court,
404
00:14:44,051 --> 00:14:47,554
say no more, I'm coming.
405
00:14:47,654 --> 00:14:49,522
OLYMPIA:
As the head of HR,
406
00:14:49,622 --> 00:14:51,091
what, if anything,
407
00:14:51,191 --> 00:14:53,660
did your department do to
investigate Alex Ramos' claim?
408
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,495
(Shae clears throat)
MS. PARK:
After she reported it,
409
00:14:55,595 --> 00:14:57,297
we spoke to Mr. Brooks,
410
00:14:57,397 --> 00:14:59,166
and we concluded
it was a situation
411
00:14:59,266 --> 00:15:00,467
with a lot of smoke but no fire.
412
00:15:00,567 --> 00:15:01,969
The alleged attacker said
he didn't do it,
413
00:15:02,069 --> 00:15:03,603
so you believed him.
Case closed?
414
00:15:04,371 --> 00:15:06,006
DEFENSE COUNSEL:
How many negative
performance reviews
415
00:15:06,106 --> 00:15:08,308
were logged in about Ms. Ramos
before she decided
416
00:15:08,408 --> 00:15:10,010
to come forward with this claim?
417
00:15:10,110 --> 00:15:11,511
Four.
And were all four of those
418
00:15:11,611 --> 00:15:13,113
made by Mr. Brooks?
No.
419
00:15:13,213 --> 00:15:15,882
The other two came from
a senior VP-- Sheryl Mathers.
420
00:15:15,983 --> 00:15:18,651
Yes, I filed those two claims.
421
00:15:18,751 --> 00:15:20,220
Her reports were late
422
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,688
and riddled
with mistakes,
423
00:15:21,788 --> 00:15:22,990
plus she missed meetings.
424
00:15:23,090 --> 00:15:24,624
And just to be clear,
you didn't try
425
00:15:24,724 --> 00:15:26,994
to hit on Ms. Ramos
or grope her, did you?
426
00:15:27,094 --> 00:15:28,895
No, I did not.
427
00:15:28,996 --> 00:15:30,197
(laughter)
428
00:15:30,297 --> 00:15:32,632
How long have you worked
directly with Ms. Ramos?
429
00:15:32,732 --> 00:15:34,000
A little over three years.
430
00:15:34,001 --> 00:15:35,502
In all that time,
how many bad reports
431
00:15:35,602 --> 00:15:36,803
did she turn in?
432
00:15:36,903 --> 00:15:38,538
Before the ones
that you described.
433
00:15:39,672 --> 00:15:41,008
None that I can recall.
434
00:15:41,108 --> 00:15:42,575
OLYMPIA:
How many meetings
did she skip?
435
00:15:42,675 --> 00:15:44,044
MATHERS:
None that I can recall.
436
00:15:44,144 --> 00:15:45,278
So the first time
437
00:15:45,378 --> 00:15:47,514
her performance
slipped was January,
438
00:15:47,614 --> 00:15:49,749
just after the holiday party?
439
00:15:49,849 --> 00:15:51,918
Yeah. Alex was drinking
a lot that night,
440
00:15:52,019 --> 00:15:53,886
but it was because she was gonna
have to be around Jeremy.
441
00:15:54,021 --> 00:15:55,722
OLYMPIA:
So why not just stay home,
442
00:15:55,822 --> 00:15:57,890
skip the party entirely?
You can't.
443
00:15:58,025 --> 00:16:00,260
It's a party culture.
Showing up counts.
444
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,029
Ms. Ramos claims her termination
445
00:16:02,129 --> 00:16:04,597
was a form of retaliation
for reporting Mr. Brooks,
446
00:16:04,697 --> 00:16:05,832
but you're here today,
447
00:16:05,932 --> 00:16:07,600
so the firm can't be
too retaliatory.
448
00:16:07,700 --> 00:16:09,436
Objection.
Outside the scope.
449
00:16:09,536 --> 00:16:10,637
BOLDING:
Sustained.
450
00:16:10,737 --> 00:16:11,538
DEFENSE COUNSEL:
No further questions,
451
00:16:11,638 --> 00:16:13,273
Your Honor.
452
00:16:22,749 --> 00:16:24,584
OLYMPIA:
Wait, I only have two jurors?
453
00:16:24,684 --> 00:16:26,153
Why?
Well, you
picked up one,
454
00:16:26,253 --> 00:16:27,554
but you lost your
three swing votes.
455
00:16:27,654 --> 00:16:28,621
Tell me the how.
456
00:16:28,721 --> 00:16:30,457
Juror seven uncrossed his legs
457
00:16:30,557 --> 00:16:31,791
when defense counsel spoke,
458
00:16:31,891 --> 00:16:33,293
signaling an openness
to the content,
459
00:16:33,393 --> 00:16:34,894
but when you got up,
he leaned back and to the right.
460
00:16:35,062 --> 00:16:36,062
A clear sign he disengaged.
461
00:16:36,063 --> 00:16:37,664
Juror six kept
closing her eyes
462
00:16:37,764 --> 00:16:39,199
when you had Ms. Park
on the stand,
463
00:16:39,299 --> 00:16:40,967
and juror three
took less notes
464
00:16:41,068 --> 00:16:43,670
when you were talking to Isabel,
and by the end he was...
465
00:16:43,770 --> 00:16:45,238
doodling.
Enough!
466
00:16:45,338 --> 00:16:46,673
Okay, just tell me,
how do I get the majority back?
467
00:16:46,773 --> 00:16:48,608
Not happening.
They don't like you.
468
00:16:48,708 --> 00:16:50,143
I wasn't there
when you lost them,
469
00:16:50,243 --> 00:16:52,279
but trust me,
you don't have them now.
470
00:16:52,379 --> 00:16:55,515
But, look, there's
good news, too.
471
00:16:55,615 --> 00:16:57,984
They really like her.
472
00:16:58,085 --> 00:17:01,454
In my opinion, Matty should
try the rest of the case.
473
00:17:06,293 --> 00:17:07,494
Matty, to try this case?
474
00:17:07,594 --> 00:17:08,861
Mm-hmm.
Now, that's ridiculous.
475
00:17:08,961 --> 00:17:11,097
Amen. Hallelujah.
I'm rustier than
476
00:17:11,098 --> 00:17:12,699
a pitchfork in a pool.
477
00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:14,434
Moving on.
OLYMPIA: Agreed.
478
00:17:14,534 --> 00:17:17,437
If-- big if--the jury
prefers Matty,
479
00:17:17,537 --> 00:17:18,871
it's because she's been
pulling focus.
480
00:17:18,971 --> 00:17:20,340
So the answer is not
to involve her more,
481
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,509
it's to get her out
of the courtroom entirely.
482
00:17:22,609 --> 00:17:24,444
Did you find anything?
Got confirmation.
483
00:17:24,544 --> 00:17:26,146
Jeremy was convicted
of a crime,
484
00:17:26,246 --> 00:17:27,780
and it was for groping,
which means a history
485
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,216
of forcible touching.
486
00:17:29,316 --> 00:17:30,617
The park ranger's willing
to take the stand,
487
00:17:30,717 --> 00:17:33,019
and she has all her
notes from back then.
488
00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:35,622
Wow. Okay, fill me in
on the way.
489
00:17:35,722 --> 00:17:38,925
We can still make it
to Bolding's chambers
490
00:17:39,025 --> 00:17:40,127
before lunch ends.
491
00:17:40,227 --> 00:17:41,894
Has anybody seen my phone?
492
00:17:41,994 --> 00:17:44,731
SHAE:
Grabbing lunch
at Gramercy Tavern.
493
00:17:44,831 --> 00:17:45,998
I'll look for it there.
494
00:17:46,133 --> 00:17:47,167
See you back in court.
495
00:17:47,267 --> 00:17:48,301
MATTY:
Oh, shoot.
496
00:17:48,401 --> 00:17:49,702
You know, you
should go ahead.
497
00:17:49,802 --> 00:17:51,704
Judge Bolding was a Marine,
498
00:17:51,804 --> 00:17:53,973
so he runs
a tight schedule.
499
00:17:56,409 --> 00:18:00,347
I just took a, a page
out of Sarah's playbook.
500
00:18:00,447 --> 00:18:02,148
You know, I did
a little research
501
00:18:02,149 --> 00:18:04,317
on the judge
after the phone incident.
502
00:18:04,417 --> 00:18:05,718
S-Sorry.
503
00:18:06,719 --> 00:18:08,054
My dad was a Marine.
504
00:18:08,155 --> 00:18:09,922
He died recently.
505
00:18:10,022 --> 00:18:11,858
Anyway, um,
506
00:18:11,958 --> 00:18:13,460
please find my phone.
507
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:14,794
Uh, yeah.
508
00:18:27,607 --> 00:18:29,642
Send the flowers.
509
00:18:31,344 --> 00:18:32,712
BILLY:
Bad news.
510
00:18:32,812 --> 00:18:34,180
Bolding didn't go for it.
511
00:18:34,181 --> 00:18:35,715
Said any indication
of a past criminal record
512
00:18:35,815 --> 00:18:37,717
is too prejudicial.
MATTY: Prejudicial?
513
00:18:37,817 --> 00:18:39,619
The man let in a sex tape.
514
00:18:39,719 --> 00:18:40,987
Rule 609.
515
00:18:41,087 --> 00:18:42,822
Alex lied on the stand
and impeached herself.
516
00:18:42,922 --> 00:18:43,856
That's why he did it.
517
00:18:43,956 --> 00:18:45,392
Damn.
518
00:18:45,492 --> 00:18:46,793
Olympia's got to score
some real points with Derek
519
00:18:46,893 --> 00:18:48,361
to move that needle.
(elevator bell dings)
520
00:18:48,461 --> 00:18:50,397
Let me know how it goes.
521
00:18:50,497 --> 00:18:51,531
Hey.
522
00:18:51,631 --> 00:18:53,233
Derek, once you
began working
523
00:18:53,333 --> 00:18:56,403
at Lock Stone Capital, how long
before you and Alex broke up?
524
00:18:56,503 --> 00:18:58,805
Maybe two, three weeks.
525
00:18:58,905 --> 00:19:00,407
Why did things end?
526
00:19:00,507 --> 00:19:02,509
Alex wasn't comfortable
dating someone at the office.
527
00:19:04,211 --> 00:19:07,447
OLYMPIA:
So, what, leaking the video
528
00:19:07,547 --> 00:19:08,748
was some kind of revenge porn?
529
00:19:08,848 --> 00:19:10,049
No. (sighs)
530
00:19:10,217 --> 00:19:11,418
I was pissed about the breakup,
531
00:19:11,518 --> 00:19:13,052
showed some colleagues
the video,
532
00:19:13,220 --> 00:19:14,387
word got around,
I guess.
533
00:19:15,255 --> 00:19:17,223
I feel so badly.
534
00:19:17,224 --> 00:19:18,558
It shouldn't have
gotten out.
535
00:19:22,629 --> 00:19:23,863
Agreed.
536
00:19:23,963 --> 00:19:25,998
Was boss and employee
537
00:19:26,098 --> 00:19:27,834
the only role-playing
you two took a part in?
538
00:19:27,934 --> 00:19:31,271
No, we did a lot of that stuff:
doctor and patient,
539
00:19:31,371 --> 00:19:33,906
vampire and virgin,
pirate and sailor.
540
00:19:34,006 --> 00:19:35,408
And does that
541
00:19:35,508 --> 00:19:37,777
role-playing reflect
what you want in real life?
542
00:19:37,877 --> 00:19:40,347
No. That's... that's why
they're fantasies.
543
00:19:40,447 --> 00:19:42,449
Because they're things
you wouldn't do.
544
00:19:42,549 --> 00:19:44,684
Things you wouldn't do.
545
00:19:51,758 --> 00:19:52,992
Thank you, Derek.
546
00:19:55,328 --> 00:19:57,464
You were right.
We need Matty.
547
00:19:57,564 --> 00:20:00,099
Talk about timing.
I was just down in reception
548
00:20:00,267 --> 00:20:01,934
getting a coffee,
I heard these were for Olympia,
549
00:20:02,034 --> 00:20:04,471
so I grabbed 'em.
Oh, thank you so much.
550
00:20:04,571 --> 00:20:05,572
Uh, the card's
not even signed.
551
00:20:05,672 --> 00:20:07,173
Oh, shoot.
No good deed.
552
00:20:07,274 --> 00:20:09,676
You know, I bet you can
still catch the delivery guy.
553
00:20:09,776 --> 00:20:11,778
Between you and me, he was about
as quick as a herd of turtles.
554
00:20:11,878 --> 00:20:13,613
Okay, thanks.
I'll try to catch him.
555
00:20:13,713 --> 00:20:14,747
Yup.
556
00:20:17,984 --> 00:20:20,019
♪ ♪
557
00:20:39,806 --> 00:20:41,841
♪ ♪
558
00:20:50,149 --> 00:20:52,151
(quietly):
Right.
559
00:20:52,251 --> 00:20:53,820
Okay.
560
00:21:03,463 --> 00:21:05,164
Tell Julian to stop
calling me Big E.
561
00:21:05,332 --> 00:21:06,499
It sounds like Biggie,
562
00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:08,200
and I don't think
he realizes it.
563
00:21:08,335 --> 00:21:10,370
How'd it go in court?
564
00:21:10,470 --> 00:21:12,772
Walk with me.
Huh?
565
00:21:28,054 --> 00:21:29,756
Come on, come on, come on,
come on, come on, come on.
566
00:21:29,856 --> 00:21:31,123
ELIJAH:
So, the case.
567
00:21:31,223 --> 00:21:32,425
It's a mess, actually.
568
00:21:32,525 --> 00:21:34,360
My client had
a workplace romance
569
00:21:34,361 --> 00:21:36,062
that came back
to bite her.
570
00:21:36,162 --> 00:21:37,864
I guess that's why
they're not recommended.
571
00:21:37,964 --> 00:21:40,400
And that's why we're
waiting till November.
572
00:21:40,500 --> 00:21:41,634
We're not gonna be messy.
573
00:21:41,734 --> 00:21:43,403
We're being thoughtful
and deliberate.
574
00:21:43,503 --> 00:21:45,572
Right. Yes.
Yeah.
575
00:21:45,672 --> 00:21:47,373
Uh, so, listen,
576
00:21:47,374 --> 00:21:48,908
Big E...
577
00:21:49,008 --> 00:21:50,743
(chuckles softly)
...what are you
doing tonight?
578
00:21:50,843 --> 00:21:53,580
(chuckling)
579
00:21:54,581 --> 00:21:56,416
Matty?
Ah!
580
00:22:02,389 --> 00:22:03,990
Well...
OLYMPIA:
What are you doing?
581
00:22:04,090 --> 00:22:05,224
I heard you were coming back
and burning the midnight oil,
582
00:22:05,392 --> 00:22:06,626
so I thought I'd get you
a cup of coffee.
583
00:22:06,726 --> 00:22:07,960
It was just
a friendly gesture...
584
00:22:08,060 --> 00:22:09,529
We are not friends!
We are colleagues.
585
00:22:09,629 --> 00:22:10,797
And I don't need a coffee,
I need a working computer.
586
00:22:10,897 --> 00:22:11,931
Let me take it to I.T.
587
00:22:12,031 --> 00:22:13,265
Let it go.
Okay.
588
00:22:14,266 --> 00:22:16,403
I'm sorry.
Look.
589
00:22:16,503 --> 00:22:17,670
I actually need you
590
00:22:17,770 --> 00:22:19,305
for something much
more important.
591
00:22:19,406 --> 00:22:21,273
You're trying this case.
592
00:22:21,408 --> 00:22:22,809
What?
593
00:22:22,909 --> 00:22:24,544
Shae was right.
I lost the jury.
594
00:22:24,644 --> 00:22:26,312
Oh, you'll
get 'em back.
Mm-mm.
595
00:22:26,413 --> 00:22:28,247
No, I haven't tried
a case in 30 years.
Oh, no, I know, I know.
596
00:22:28,415 --> 00:22:30,249
But it's like, it's
like riding a bike.
597
00:22:30,417 --> 00:22:32,519
You know? Down a cliff.
With no brakes.
598
00:22:32,619 --> 00:22:34,454
(quiet mumbling)
Okay, I'm joking.
599
00:22:34,554 --> 00:22:37,757
We are going to get
you back up to speed.
600
00:22:41,694 --> 00:22:44,230
Why are you
so jittery?
(sighs)
601
00:22:44,330 --> 00:22:45,765
Shae,
602
00:22:45,865 --> 00:22:48,167
I know you're good
at your job,
603
00:22:48,267 --> 00:22:50,637
and I'm trying to be
good at mine, too.
604
00:22:50,737 --> 00:22:51,838
Which means I have to get
605
00:22:51,938 --> 00:22:53,506
the details
of this case straight,
606
00:22:53,606 --> 00:22:57,910
which is a little hard to do
while I'm being stared at.
607
00:22:58,010 --> 00:23:01,481
Okay, see,
that feels true.
608
00:23:03,516 --> 00:23:05,284
I can't believe my Park
and Rec witness got booted.
609
00:23:05,452 --> 00:23:07,286
I can't believe that Matlock's
been here for ten days
610
00:23:07,454 --> 00:23:09,121
and gets to try a case
while I've been here
611
00:23:09,221 --> 00:23:11,457
for ten months churning out
rock star product,
612
00:23:11,458 --> 00:23:13,125
and because of some...
613
00:23:13,225 --> 00:23:15,194
Okay, good talk.
SARAH:
Real quick.
614
00:23:15,294 --> 00:23:16,929
Was it because
I used your name
615
00:23:17,029 --> 00:23:18,464
at Cafe Carmellini
to get a table?
616
00:23:18,465 --> 00:23:19,899
Because I was actually just
trying to sign a client...
617
00:23:19,999 --> 00:23:22,001
That's not it, nor
is this the time.
618
00:23:22,101 --> 00:23:23,469
Were you able to fix it?
619
00:23:23,470 --> 00:23:26,272
Sorry, boss.
Laptop's totally fried.
620
00:23:26,372 --> 00:23:27,907
Wha...?
621
00:23:31,644 --> 00:23:32,812
Big E.
622
00:23:32,912 --> 00:23:34,280
Let's be done
with that.
(chuckles)
623
00:23:34,380 --> 00:23:35,815
I thought you were
done for the day.
624
00:23:35,915 --> 00:23:37,016
I'm gonna help Olympia.
625
00:23:37,116 --> 00:23:38,485
Heading up to the
mock trial room.
626
00:23:38,585 --> 00:23:40,186
It's all-hands-on-deck.
(elevator bell dings)
627
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,290
Going to the same
place, Little J.
628
00:23:44,390 --> 00:23:46,926
I'm sorry they can't
fix your laptop.
629
00:23:47,026 --> 00:23:49,629
But you have
everything saved, right?
630
00:23:49,729 --> 00:23:50,997
In the company cloud?
631
00:23:51,097 --> 00:23:53,099
No. Not everything.
632
00:23:53,199 --> 00:23:54,501
ELIJAH:
Well, looks like you roped
633
00:23:54,601 --> 00:23:56,168
us both in.
(chuckles)
634
00:23:59,606 --> 00:24:00,907
Thank you for helping.
635
00:24:01,007 --> 00:24:02,775
Julian, you're
playing defendant.
636
00:24:02,875 --> 00:24:05,077
Elijah, you're opposing,
and Shae is...
Hey, Matty, you're up.
637
00:24:05,177 --> 00:24:06,646
Let's see that cross.
MATTY:
Great.
638
00:24:06,746 --> 00:24:09,516
Perfect. Uh, let's see.
639
00:24:09,616 --> 00:24:12,552
I'll start with...
Don't give us
your road map.
640
00:24:12,652 --> 00:24:14,186
Right, uh, of course.
641
00:24:14,286 --> 00:24:17,389
Um, Mr. Brooks,
how many drinks had you had...?
642
00:24:17,524 --> 00:24:19,058
Objection. Foundation.
SHAE: Sustained.
643
00:24:19,158 --> 00:24:21,127
Got to lay the
groundwork first.
644
00:24:21,227 --> 00:24:23,696
(sighs)
Of course. Um...
645
00:24:23,796 --> 00:24:26,666
Isn't it true that...?
ELIJAH: Objection.
Leading the witness.
646
00:24:26,766 --> 00:24:30,603
Right. Right.
Sorry. Okay.
647
00:24:30,703 --> 00:24:32,538
Um, Mr. Brooks,
648
00:24:32,539 --> 00:24:34,574
walk me through the night
of the party...
OLYMPIA: Too broad.
649
00:24:34,674 --> 00:24:37,276
Scope. All right?
Keep it narrow.
650
00:24:37,376 --> 00:24:38,645
You've got this.
I saw that résumé...
651
00:24:38,745 --> 00:24:40,580
Just never tried this
type of case, that's all.
652
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:41,614
What else is going on?
653
00:24:41,714 --> 00:24:43,049
Nothing.
No.
654
00:24:43,149 --> 00:24:46,052
I can feel it.
Something's off.
Nothing's off.
655
00:24:46,152 --> 00:24:48,054
No, and if I can feel it,
the jury will feel it.
656
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:50,122
You might as well say it,
I'm going to find out.
It's nothing. It's not...
657
00:24:50,222 --> 00:24:51,257
You're not being honest,
Matty, why?
658
00:24:51,357 --> 00:24:52,925
Because I'm faking it!
659
00:24:53,726 --> 00:24:56,729
The truth is, I don't think we
should have taken this case.
660
00:24:56,829 --> 00:24:58,230
Back in my day,
661
00:24:58,330 --> 00:24:59,599
we put up with comments
like that all the time.
662
00:24:59,699 --> 00:25:02,001
And if they got bad,
we avoided the guy.
663
00:25:02,101 --> 00:25:03,870
We didn't get drunk
at a holiday party
664
00:25:03,970 --> 00:25:05,605
and end up alone with him.
665
00:25:05,705 --> 00:25:07,239
(Alex gasps)
666
00:25:12,579 --> 00:25:14,647
Oh, God.
667
00:25:17,116 --> 00:25:19,351
♪ ♪
668
00:25:25,257 --> 00:25:26,693
I'm so sorry.
669
00:25:26,793 --> 00:25:28,060
It's generational.
670
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,162
We just put up with
different things then.
671
00:25:30,262 --> 00:25:32,031
Matty, I don't care what
"certain things"
672
00:25:32,131 --> 00:25:33,499
you did or did
not put up with.
673
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,869
Or what you did or did not
miss out on as a result,
674
00:25:36,969 --> 00:25:38,771
which may or may not have
contributed to the fact
675
00:25:38,871 --> 00:25:41,107
that you had to go
back to work at 75.
676
00:25:41,207 --> 00:25:43,075
The only thing I want
my daughter to have
677
00:25:43,175 --> 00:25:46,278
to put up with is
extreme professionalism.
678
00:25:46,378 --> 00:25:48,648
Yes, I could have chosen
a different client,
679
00:25:48,748 --> 00:25:51,317
I could have chosen
a more perfect client.
680
00:25:51,417 --> 00:25:56,155
But I want this win on the books
because Alex is messy.
681
00:25:56,255 --> 00:25:59,626
And I want my daughter
to be able to be messy.
682
00:25:59,726 --> 00:26:02,629
You think that.
683
00:26:04,797 --> 00:26:08,701
Is that what this is about?
Your daughter?
684
00:26:08,801 --> 00:26:10,369
I...
685
00:26:10,469 --> 00:26:12,338
assume there is
some sort of issue
686
00:26:12,438 --> 00:26:14,540
since your grandson
is living with you?
687
00:26:14,641 --> 00:26:18,811
The issue is, his parents
died in a car accident.
688
00:26:20,046 --> 00:26:21,013
I'm sorry.
689
00:26:21,113 --> 00:26:22,548
No, this isn't about me.
690
00:26:22,649 --> 00:26:25,351
Exactly. Or your feelings.
691
00:26:25,451 --> 00:26:27,286
So put 'em aside,
692
00:26:27,386 --> 00:26:28,988
just like I had
to put mine aside
693
00:26:29,088 --> 00:26:31,958
and accept the fact that,
despite all my experience
694
00:26:32,058 --> 00:26:33,826
or the fact that I am
two and a half times better
695
00:26:33,926 --> 00:26:36,896
than everyone around me,

And then we decided that
859
00:33:54,333 --> 00:33:56,302
I'd just stay out of his way.
860

specialized in.

So I hid,
865
00:34:09,981 --> 00:34:11,850
I decided that

00:34:47,153 --> 00:34:50,156
things that
were not true.

880
00:35:02,301 --> 00:35:04,836
She was good at it...
881
00:35:04,936 --> 00:35:08,474
and she should have been able
to continue doing it.
882
00:35:08,574 --> 00:35:11,343
And the reason she couldn't
883
00:35:11,443 --> 00:35:12,811
was Jeremy Brooks.
884
00:35:12,911 --> 00:35:15,881

I know one of our

886
00:35:17,949 --> 00:35:19,818
why Alex waited so long to
887
00:35:19,918 --> 00:35:21,753
report what Jeremy Brooks did.
888
00:35:21,853 --> 00:35:24,690
But you see, I don't think
that's the real question at all
889
00:35:24,790 --> 00:35:26,958

answers itself, doesn't it?

894

The real
question is,

897
