(light music)

(upbeat music)

- Because the situation
is blowing up.

I don't have time put out
every fire your client

feels like starting, that's why.

Well, sure, but enough
with the demurrals

and the stalling
tactics, counselor.

Well, that's what I'm saying.

I suggest that you settle.

You know if I get you into court

I'll burn this
case to the ground.

- And the kitchen's
on fire again.

- What?

I was gonna make us eggs.

- But then you
answered your phone.

- I did, yeah, I did.

It's the Phitzer case.

The opposing counsel is
being really uncooperative.

- Well, they are the
opposing counsel.

- Thank you.

Oh, hey, I'm not gonna be
able to get away to pick up

that silver tray for my parents'
anniversary party tonight.

Can you do it?

- I have history tutoring
after my last class.

You know that.
(Maggie scoffs)

- Josh, can you cancel
it just this once please?

Honey, this case
has got me really-

- That's every case.

And I'm always the one
that picks up the slack.

- Please.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

(phone ringing)
- You're welcome.

- [Maggie] Maggie Turner.

- Bon appetit.

(light music)

- Hey, Melissa.

- [Malcom] You're
in bright and early.

- Good morning, Mr. Baxter.

I didn't think anyone
else would be in.

- There were
transactions I needed

to manage before the
day gets started.

- I'm just taking care
of some things myself

'cause I have to leave
an hour early today.

It's my parents' 40th
wedding anniversary.

A big party, tent in the
backyard, that kinda thing.

I will be taking work with me,

and I'll be
available on my cell.

- I like that attitude.

And what you did
with the Inova case,

the way you completely
dismantled opposing counsel

in the courtroom, that
was very impressive.

- Thank you, sir.

- Yeah, you've become
quite the barracuda.

- Well, I'm just hoping to
swim with the sharks one day.

- Reviews come up next month.

We should discuss a
junior partner slot.

- That's very
exciting, Mr. Baxter.

Thank you.

- You know the real carnivores
in the firm can call me Mal.

- All right, Mal, I
will keep that in mind.

I'll leave you to it.
- Please do.

(light music)

(Maggie sighs)

- I'm here!

Where's my contract?

Whoa, haven't seen you this
intense since rush week.

- Kappas forever.

- So, I was thinking
that after I sign

my life altering contract,
we could play hooky.

I wanna go shopping
for something

for your parents'
40th anniversary.

- Oh, honey, that's so sweet.

You don't have to come.

- I wouldn't miss it, but I
do need to know the dress code

'cause currently all I have
are swimsuit prototypes

for next year's line and
old bridesmaid dresses.

- I asked mom.

She said, "festive casual."

I told her nobody
knows what that means.

- How would you know?

So, when was the last
time you went anywhere

that wasn't business attire?

- Okay, fine.

If you're giving me a hard time,

I can bill you for
this conversation.

I was going to congratulate you.

Sign where the flags are
and you will officially

have expanded into
premium outlets.

- Yes.

Maybe now my mother will stop
bothering me about Lester.

See, I can commit.

- What about Lester?

- Ugh, we broke up.

I just couldn't see
myself marrying Lester.

- Fair.
- I just need to find

what you and Josh have.

- I don't know if you
want that (chuckling).

- No, you guys are good, right?

- (sighs) I don't know,
I don't know what we are.

I feel like he's always
so disappointed in me,

and I thought that we both
knew what it would take

for me to make
partner here, right?

I have to be a killer.

And sometimes it's like I
can't turn it off with him,

and I just wonder sometimes

if he would be
happier without me.

- No, don't say that.

If you two can't make it
work, then I have no chance.

I am pinning all my
hopes on you guys.

- Oh, that's good,
no, that's great.

Thank you so much.

That's just what I
need, more pressure.

Congratulations,
Miss Entrepreneur.

- Oh, that actually reminds me.

You will never guess who
I ran into in the lobby.

- Who?
- Rick Morgan.

- What?
- He had an entourage.

(both laughing)

- I thought he was
based in Seattle?

- Yeah, he is, but he's here
meeting with some PR firm.

Something about a
new solar company.

- You talked?
- Yeah.

He actually recognized me.

- Wow.
- And he asked about you.

- He asked about me?

I am surprised he
even remembers me.

- Oh, because you only
dated all through college.

Honestly, I always thought you
and Rick would get married.

- Hm, the road not taken.

(phone ringing)
(Maggie sighs)

That is my conference call.

- Oh, so no hooky?

- Sorry.

- I'll see you Saturday.

- Hello, this is Maggie Turner.

- Kappas forever.

(Maggie laughing)

- Hey, Jackson, I meant
to tell you earlier.

We're expected Callahan.

- Tell him we'd like to see
a deck for the new campaign

by Monday and I'm gonna send
it to the Seattle office.

- And to accept
that counter offer

sometime later this afternoon.

- And then we'll see
if we're able to buy-

- Not so much.

Oh, excuse me.
- Excuse...

Maggie.
- Rick, hi.

- Hi.

- Carrie was just up.

She told me that you
were in the building.

- This is crazy.

How are you?

Do you wanna grab a coffee?

- Yeah, yes.

- Uh, bump the 4:00 to a 4:30,

and the 5:00 to a video
call from the jet.

- You know what, I
just realized I can't.

I'm sorry.

I'm so late, Josh
is gonna kill me.

- Oh, yeah, Josh.

How is he?

I heard you two got married.

- We did, yeah, we got married.

After I passed the bar and he
got his doctorate in history.

- Well, I won't keep you then.

But I'll be back
here in three weeks

if this PR things work out.

Call your office to setup lunch.

- Yeah, I'd like that very much.

- Looking forward to it.
- I'll see you then.

- Yeah.
- Bye.

(traffic humming)

Well, no, because it's
not a counter offer.

It's an insult.

Listen, I need a real
offer on my desk by Monday,

and I'm talking mid sixes or
the deal is off the table.

Yeah, fine.

(horns honking)

Oh, come on.

- We wouldn't be traffic if-

- Yes, I know, thank you.

That must be a good book.

What's it about?
- About 200 more pages.

I'm testing the kids on Monday.

- Hm.

You know it's not like you can
get an F, you're the teacher.

- Just because I don't
negotiate six figure deals,

it doesn't mean what
I do doesn't matter.

- I don't, I didn't say that.

I never say that.

You used to like to tell me
about what you were reading.

(somber music)

- Oh, hey, can you pull over?

- Mm hm, yeah.

(brakes squeaking)

You thinking about
the old library?

- Yeah, the city tore it
down and the lot sat empty

for so long they
built this eyesore.

- Yeah, who knew the
developers would run off

to South America with
the investors' money.

I know you love the library,
but I miss Flannigan's.

- This whole place
really went downhill

after the library was gone.

- Hm.

It wasn't all bad though.

It brought us
together, didn't it?

(Josh chuckling)

- I don't think pity
makes a great foundation

for a relationship.

- Why would you say that?

- The only reason we
started hanging out, Maggie,

was because you
felt sorry for me.

- That is...

That's not entirely true, Josh.

- Oh, come on.

I tried to save the
library, it got demolished,

I was crushed, it's not like
you noticed me much beforehand.

Let's not rewrite history.

(light music)

- There they are!
(car doors slamming)

- Hi, Mommy.
- Hi, honey.

- You can hire a
gardener you know?

- [Estelle] Oh, I'm
just cleaning up

the beds before the party.

- Yeah, what happened
to all your flowers?

- Oh, you know, I just,

I didn't really feel
up for it this year.

- [Maggie] Hm.

- How's my favorite son-in-law?

- Your only son-in-law?

- Tomato, tomato.

(Estelle chuckling)

How's your dad?

Is he still liking Phoenix?

- Yeah, he says he'll take
the heat as long as he doesn't

have to live through
another Illinois winter.

(Estelle laughing)

(gentle music)

- George!

- Is that Mags and Josh?

Or are you talking
to yourself again?

- Oh, hush, you.

Your father thinks
I'm losing it.

- She scurried around for half
an hour the other day looking

for her keys and they were
in her hand the whole time.

- This one didn't even
give me the heads up.

- I couldn't get a word in.

You keep talking to yourself.

- Ah.
- To be fair,

I also talk to myself.

- Well, don't blame me.

You get it from her.

Ash, come say hello
to your sister.

- Hi, Daddy.
- Hi, how are you?

- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.

I wish people would
stop worrying.

- Hey, George.
- Hello, son.

- Ash isn't still
living with you, is he?

- No, he has that
studio apartment behind
the Pick 'N Save.

(George sighs)
- Huh.

- Sup?

- Hey.

- I made a pitcher of lemonade.

I thought we might all
eat out on the patio.

- Okay.
- Sounds great.

(birds chirping)

Ash, what are you
up to these days?

- Just the same thing.

- That's not entirely true.

Ash got a promotion last month.

He's now assistant
in charge of...

What is it again?

- Software upgrades
and app installations.

Really not a big deal.

- But still, assistant in
charge, that's pretty cool.

- As smart as Ash is with
computers and all those things,

he could be running the
entire place over there

if he'd show a little
more confidence.

- Oh, whatever.

It's just a, it's a dumb job.

- So, Maggie, how's
work with you?

- Mm, work is pretty
great actually.

I won a big court
case last week.

And this morning one of the
senior partners mentioned

there might be a junior
partner slot coming up, so.

- How about that?

- Hey, is Dad okay?

It seems like he's having
more trouble getting around.

- Oh, well, you know, he
has good days and bad days.

But the way the fall
tore his spinal cord,

you know I just kick myself.

I shoulda made him throw out

that rickety old
ladder years ago.

- It's not your fault, Mom.

- Are you going back to work?

- I'm just, I'm
checking my email.

I always check my email
before bed at home.

- But we're not at home.

- I'm aware that
we're not at home.

Do you think maybe
here you can tell me

what's going on with you?

- Us, Maggie.

What's going on with us?

Sometimes I look at your
parents and I get sad.

They've been
together for 40 years

and they still like each other.

We've been together for 15-

- And you...

Are you saying that
you don't like me?

- I'm saying that
sometimes I'm not sure

if we ever should've gotten
married in the first place.

- Okay, okay, that's not...

That would be something that
we would need to talk about.

- Not here though, okay?

We'll talk about it when
we get back to Chicago.

(somber music)

- Sure.

Should I, should I just
sleep in my old room?

Should I-
- Whatever you want, Maggie.

- Whatever I want, okay.

Um, I'm gonna go for a walk.

- Okay.

(Josh sighs)

(somber music)
(water trickling)

(Maggie chuckling)

(somber music)

(Maggie sighs)

- I wish I had a do-over.

(water splashing)

(phone thudding)
Oh, shoot.

(Maggie sighs)

(head thudding)
Ow!

(Maggie groans)

(light eerie music)

(gentle music)

Ow.

(Maggie sighs)

Josh?

Ow.

(light dramatic music)

Where's my phone?

(Maggie sighs)

I'm gonna kill him.

Mom?

- In here.

- Mom, where's Ash?

He took my phone.

I can't do anything with
something this ancient.

- Your dad and I
just bought that

for your graduation last week.

How fast is technology moving?

- Mom, you look great.

Your hair looks good.
- Stop teasing.

I have an appointment to get
it done before the party.

(George panting)
- What?

- Honestly, George,
we do have glasses.

- Dad, what's happening?

What's going on?

- Okay, I admit it.

I was jogging.

I'm trying to up my cardio
so I can spin your mother

on the dance floor
all night long, huh?

(Estelle giggling)
Whoa, hey.

- You're a sweaty mess.
- Oh.

Come on, babe.

Oh, shake it.
- George, stop it.

- And the big spin.
- Oh, no.

- Stop it!
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

- Woo hoo.
- Woo hoo.

- Use the hips.

- Okay, look, I know
you're mad, but Josh...

(light eerie music)

(phone ringing)

Carrie.
- Mags.

- Carrie, oh my
gosh, okay, listen.

I don't know what's going on.

Something happened.

I had a fight with Josh
and then I went for a walk,

and then I, I, I, I made
a stupid wish I guess.

And then I hit my head
and then I woke up.

Okay, but now,
everything's different,

but it's not different.

It's the same as it was,
but it's not the same.

It's the same as before, but
like before, before, you know?

- [Carrie] Mags, what
are you talking about?

Sounds like you just
had a strange dream.

I dreamt about this big octopus,

and now I feel kinda weird
about going into the water.

BT dubs, you need
to get here soon.

Derrick is rocking
some board shorts.

- Sweetie, are you okay?

You looked a little pale
when you dashed out.

- Yes, I'm, listen, Carrie-
(car horn honking)

I'm gonna have to get back
to you on the shorts, bye.

- Rick, she'll be
down in a minute.

- Okay.

- What? Wait? Who?

- Hey, babe, are you coming?

Everyone's gonna be
at the lake already.

- Uh, you know what?

I don't think I can.

I have too much to do today.

- Yeah, going to the lake.

- What are you talking
about too much to do?

Yesterday, all you and Carrie
talked about was the lake.

Look, your beach bag
is already packed.

Oh, honey, I know it's
been stressful with LSATs

and law school applications,
but that's all behind you now.

Go, enjoy yourself.

You're only young once.

- Hi.
- Hey, beautiful.

- Hello.
- Oh, cute beach bag.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

- Hi, ooh, holy moly.
- Oh?

- That's just, needs
to be over there.

- You're not still
mad at me are you?

- I don't know.

Maybe, why?

- I was just repeating
something stupid my dad said,

and I'm sorry.

Can we just get a do-over?

- Yes.

Yes, we can because
this, this is a do-over.

(Maggie chuckling)

- And I know just how
to make it up to you.

- Okay.

Ah, ooh, yep.

Just, just one of those.
- Okay.

- Okay.
(light music)

Oh, my gosh, it's Flannigan's.

I loved Flannigan's.

- Best banana cream
pie in the world.

- It is.

- Am I forgiven?

- I think so, yeah.

Wow.

- Thanks so much, I'll
see you at the rally.

- Josh.
(gentle music)

- Maggie, you're back.

- Yeah, hi.
- Hi.

- What's up, Turner?

- Just trying to save
the library, Rick.

Getting ready for a
big rally tomorrow.

You should come.

- [Rick] Ah, no can do.

And besides, it's not
even the library anymore.

So, what's the point?

- It's part of our
town's history.

We wanna repurpose it.

What about you, Maggie?

- I can try, yeah.

- Hey, we're hitting
the lake, so good luck.

Come on, Mags.
- Sure.

Bye, Josh.
(upbeat music)

- She's back.

- Yeah, sure.

(friends laughing)

Hi, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.

(Carrie giggling)
Hi.

Derrick at 10 o'clock.

- That certainly is, yeah.

- It's purely professional.

Look, if I'm gonna be the
next Vera Wang swimwear,

I'm gonna need a men's line.

- Man, you are just exactly

the same as I
remember you being.

Sorry, today, now, now,
that I remember you being

currently the way that you are.

- And you're a nut job.

- Yeah, um, I'm kinda
dealing with a lot.

- Ugh, yeah, I know.

I'm dealing with
this best friend

who's being a total buzzkill.

Mags, I'm gonna need
you to just chill out,

and go with the flow
this summer, okay?

- Yeah, that's...

Yeah.
- Exactly.

Like I'm not even

at the club tomorrow.

- Oh, yeah, I get to be
my dad's golf partner.

I hate it when
he's between wives.

(both laughing)

Oh.

- I, I will, I'll see ya.

- Yeah.

(Maggie sighs)

- Hey, you know what?

I um, I had fun today.

This was a whole day and
all I did was have fun.

- Well, there's more
where that came from.

(car engine rumbling)

See ya later.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad,
Dad, what are you doing?

- Just hanging some lights.

I'm trying to
dress this place up

before the party next week.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Okay, okay, okay, okay.

This is too old.

It is shaky, you
need to throw it out.

- Don't be ridiculous.

You don't throw something away

just because it's
a little shaky.

Fine.
- Thank you.

(Maggie sighs)

Hi.

- Speak, what brings
you to the realm of Ash?

(Maggie giggling)

- Oh, I remember this.

Okay, so-

- No, don't mix those up.

Don't mix those up.
- I'm not mixing them up,

you dork, I'm sitting down.

- Well you're touching them.

Don't don't them.
- I'm not touching your stuff.

Relax, okay, this is important.

Something's going on with me

and I don't think Mom
and Dad would understand.

- Hm sounds ominous.

I'll pass.
(Maggie clears throat)

- I'm going to
tell you something.

And you are probably going
to think that I am crazy.

- Er, you're crazier.

- Duly noted.
- Mm hm.

- Okay, (sighs), yesterday
I was 37 years old.

I lived in Chicago
with my husband.

I was a lawyer at a
prestige law firm.

I was about to make
a junior partner,

and this morning I woke up
and it was 15 years earlier.

At first I thought that
maybe it was a dream,

but my dreams are
never this linear,

and they usually involve Sonia
Sotomayor, so she's not here.

Um, say something.

- Are you outta your mind?
- Maybe.

- Okay, why should
I think you're doing

anything besides
yanking my chain?

Okay, fine, tell me something
from the future then.

Yeah, go ahead.

- Um (sighs).

Oh, oh, oh, so those books.

That book series that you
like with the dragons.

- Mm hm.
- They make it

into an epic series,
everybody loves it.

It's all anybody
talks about for ages,

especially at the end when
like nobody thinks that Arya's-

- Stop!

Don't say anymore.

- Okay.

- Okay, okay, okay.

I'm not saying that believe you.

Okay, I'm not.

But if I did, I do happen to
have a time traveling theory.

A couple months ago I
was having an argument

with some of my guys
in my DND group, right?

- Department of Defense?

- What? No.

Dungeons and Dragons.
(Maggie giggling)

- Okay (sneezes) super nerd.

- Oh, I'm sorry, did I
just walk into your lair

and claim to be a time traveler?

- That's a good point.

I may have lost the high ground.

- We were arguing about
time nomads, right?

- That sounds like
a comic book, yes.

- It's a graphic novel, okay?

Can you please take
this seriously?

- Yep.
- All right, thanks.

Anyways, there are
articles out there.

A couple by actual
neuroscientists.

They have case studies of people

who have claimed to have
slipped back in time.

They theorize there was
some kinda mutation inside

their brains that is
triggered by stress.

The article describes
it as amnesia,

but instead of people
forgetting who they are,

in these rare individuals,

they seem to have
forgotten when they are.

(light eerie music)

- I mean, that could be me.
- Yeah.

- I am stressed.

What is that anyway?

- Oh, this?

This is my prized possession.

I've been working
on it for six weeks.

Sweet, huh?
- That's a long time.

- Yeah.
- Can I see it?

- Um, yeah, just be
very careful, okay?

- I'm a grown up.

- [Ash] Hm, okay.

- [Maggie] So, like...

- Not yet.
(legos crumbling)

- Hey, you know what?

I got some upstairs stuff to do,

so I'm just gonna
leave you with that.

Thank you so much
for all of your help.

Good bye.

(Maggie clears throat)

(Ash sighs)

(Maggie sighs)

A time nomad.

Okay, well, if that's
true, I should just,

I should just be
able to remember.

Right?

(Maggie sighing)

Okay.

I am 37 years old and
I am gonna wake up

in Chicago with my husband.

(Maggie sighs)

(light eerie music)

Ugh.

No, come on.

37, Chicago, husband, go.

(light eerie music)

Fine.
(phone ringing)

Hello?

- [Rick] Well, I'm heading
off for a fun day at the club.

Dad and I are playing golf,

so there will be lots of
criticism on my swing.

Yay.
(Maggie giggling)

I just wanted to hear your voice

so I'd have something
to be happy about.

- Aw, well that's really sweet.

Hey, I'm rooting for you today.

Do good, uh, do you
know, good golf.

- [Rick] Thanks.

Have I told you that I'm
just crazy about you?

- I think you just did it.
(Rick chuckling)

Bye.
- Bye.

- Hey.
- Hi.

- Where's Mom and Dad?

- Errands stuff.
- Hm.

You're staring.

- Were you goofing
on me last night?

Are you gonna tell me
you're an alien today?

Or what's new?
- Nope.

Still just your run of the
mill regular old time traveler.

- So you still remember being 37

and you're married
to some Chicago dude?

- Oh, no, not some Chicago dude.

I married Josh Turner.

- Your dorky friend
from high school?

The guy you were on the
academic decathlon team with?

- Yeah, Josh.
- Oh, my gosh.

- After he couldn't save the
library from being demolished

I felt really bad for him and
we started hanging out more.

And (sighs) we fell
for each other.

I guess that's how it started.

- Yeah, for you maybe.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- That guy's like-liked you
since he was a freshman.

- What, okay, how, how
did I not pick up on this?

Can you come to his save
the library rally with me?

I'm starting to feel like
I need to get closure

on a whole relationship
that hasn't even happened.

- I don't even wanna
know what that means.

- It's just in the
future it seems like

we're such different people.

I feel like a bad
guy all the time,

and he just seems so defeated.

And well, not now, he will be.

And I just, I feel like
the library is the key.

If I help Josh save the
library, then he'll be fine.

And he can go down whatever
path makes him happy,

and Rick and I can go
on like we should be.

Like we should have been...

I don't, I don't know.

- Wow, I was hoping
you'd tell me the future

is filled with flying cars.

Who knew it would just be
you and your boring drama.

Yeah, I'm good.

Thanks.
- Come on.

Your classmates
are gonna be there.

Cheerleaders are gonna be there.

Mom says you like one.
- What? No.

No, I don't, okay you know what?

That's none of your
business actually.

Mom shouldn't be
telling you that.

- Not my, but I'm your sister.

I'm allowed to know
stuff about you.

Come on.

- Okay, fine.

But I'm only going
in case you do

any weird time traveling stuff.

I wanna see that.
- Yeah, totally.

- Hey, um, what am I like?

- You're like a
big, huge dork, duh.

- No, no, I mean in the future.

I'm not gonna be you
know, like this forever.

Am I?
- Oh, honey.

Hey, you know what?

In the future, you're like,
you're kind of amazing.

- Yeah, sure.
- No, you are, trust me.

You're this like big
genius software developer.

Apps.

- Those stupid
little phone games?

- Okay, but in the future
there's an app for everything.

'Cause right now, phones
are just getting started.

But just, just trust me.

Remember apps, boom!

They explode, huge.

Dad brags about
you all the time.

- No way.

Your dad brags about me?
- Yeah, he does.

He talks about your confidence.

Be ready in an hour or I
will leave without you.

(bright music)

I've never noticed that at all.

- No?
- Hi.

- Hi.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- I already said that.
- Yeah.

- I just, I wasn't sure
if you'd show up or not,

so hi.
- Hi.

Yeah, I'm sorry we're late.

My timing lately has
been a little uh,

it's been a little weird.
- True story, bro.

- How's it going, Ash?

- Well, I'm at a save
the library rally,

so I'm livin', man.

- Thanks anyway.
- No problem.

- Really sorry about him.

Um, how can we help?

What's the plan?
- Uh, well,

we got a bunch of
high school kids.

The cheerleaders are
over there making signs.

There's another group
trying to paint the signs.

So far it's been a
lot like herding cats.

- Well, you know what?

It is your lucky day
because Ash is really great

at making signs-
- Painting.

Making signs.

- You're doing a good job.

Okay, go.

- Um, yeah, there's girls.
- Mm hm.

- [Ash] And they're
cheerleaders.

- Remember what Dad said.

Confidence.

- Okay, you're right.
- I believe in you.

(Ash sighs)

- Have fun.
- Thanks, man.

- He'll be fine.

- Wow, this is awesome.

Do you need help?

- Bulldozers come in two days.

- Tearing it down is not
gonna be an improvement.

- I know, right?

I mean, sure it's old
and needs repairs,

but this is part of
our town's history.

Part of our country's history.

Benjamin Franklin started the
first lending library in 1731.

Did you know that?
- No.

- We got to where we are
today because libraries

like this offer education for
everyone, not just the rich.

It's places like this
that make America

truly the land of the free.

What?

You're staring at me.

Is something on my face or?
- No, I'm not.

I'm not, I'm really not.

Okay, I was a little bit.

Sorry, I just...
(Josh chuckling)

You're just different.

I haven't seen you this
passionate in a while.

- You haven't seen
me in a while.

- Sort of, yeah.

Kinda.

So, okay, bear with me.

I get it, libraries
are important,

but they built a new one on
Parkside and they've already

moved all the books over, so
what's this really about, Josh?

(soft music)

- Some of my earliest memories

are my mom bringing
me to story time.

She loved books and this
place in particular.

Growing up spending
so many hours here,

after she died I guess I liked
to go and sit in her favorite

spot in the reading room
just to feel closer to her.

- How could I not know that?

- Why would you know that?

- No reason.

- Hey, we have a bunch
of water and snacks.

Where do you want them?

- Uh, listen, how about
you deal with that,

and I'll go motivate
the sign painting crew.

- Oh, thanks.
- Yeah.

(crowd cheering)

Sounds like they're ready.

(sirens wailing)

- Why are the cops here?

I have a permit for this.

- It's okay, I got it.

- Yeah, you really got it.

Thanks for bailing
me out, Mr. H,

but you really didn't need to.

My dad, he'd come pick me up
as soon as he got off work.

- Nah, I figure you're
good for the 50 bucks.

We'll drop you at your house,

but don't even think
about skipping town.

- We will find you.

- Don't worry about my parents.

They're harmless.

Oh, you're not.

Come on, what are
you doing here?

- Are you kidding me?

I'm here to witness the
utter demise of my saintly,

perfect, straight-A,
(Maggie sighs)

favorite child sister.

I wouldn't miss this
if you threatened me

with the Hydralon
Seven torture pod.

- Okay, smart guy.

First of all, I do not
consider this my utter demise.

Second of all, there's
no way I'm the favorite.

- Quit sniping, you two.

You know your father and
I don't have favorites.

You're my favorite.
(Ash chuckling)

- I'm standing right here.

- Excuse me if I'm a little
bias toward the offspring

who will not be spending
time in front of a judge.

- That's not gonna age well.

- Besides, honey, I'm sure you
are your father's favorite.

- I hate to break it
to you, buttercup,

but I just wanted a dog.

(Josh chuckling)
If your mother wasn't allergic

both of you kids would
be cocker spaniels.

Who's a good boy?

Who's a good boy?

That's my little puppy.
(Ash groaning)

- Oh, Mom, I can help
clear if you want.

- Oh, no, honey, you relax.

You must be exhausted.
- From jail.

(Ash chuckling)

- We're getting a lotta
mileage outta this one.

- For at least a
couple more days, yeah.

- Mm hm, got you.

- Hey, it's our song.

- Aw!
- Come on, come on.

You have to.

We must dance.
(Estelle giggling)

♪ There was only you and me ♪

♪ We were young
and wild and free ♪

- No.

♪ Now, nothing can
take you away from me ♪

(Estelle giggling)

- Honey, if we don't stop
you won't get dessert.

- I have everything
sweet I need right here.

- I'm gonna throw up.

Can you please just get a room?

(Maggie laughing)
- I did, a bunch of 'em.

So as long as I'm paying
the mortgage here,

I'll dance with my wife.

♪ Baby, you're all that I want ♪

♪ When you're lying
here in my arms ♪

♪ I'm finding it
hard to believe ♪

♪ We're in heaven ♪

- Nope, still happening.

(car doors slamming)

- I just don't feel good about
you going in there alone.

- I'm not alone, Mom.

I have you guys.

- We should've called
your dad's friend.

What's his name?

Helped us with
the room addition.

- Yeah, Sid Lawrence.

Smart fella.

He works close by.

We could get him
here pretty quick.

- Daddy, I love you, your
friend is a paralegal,

and this is just a
preliminary hearing.

Josh and I will be fine.

- I just don't want
you to do anything

that's gonna get you in trouble.

- But don't worry
if anything happens,

we'll visit you in prison.

- (chuckling) Prison.

- Boys, this is serious.

- I am serious.
- Okay, family, family.

Hi, focus.

I've got this, okay?

- Just don't push it.

You're not a lawyer yet.

- Sure.
(Ash chuckling)

Come on.

- In the case of Maggie
Hartman and Josh Turner,

do you have representation?

- Your Honor, I'll be
acting as my own attorney.

- Oh, boy, here we go.

- I would also like to speak
on behalf of Mr. Turner.

- Could we have a moment please?

- Why not?

I doubt any of us wants to get
out of here at decent hour.

- Ah, thank you, Your Honor.

What do you think you're doing?

I thought we just plead guilty

and do community
service or something?

- No, we don't wanna do that.

I've got this.

- That's what you
said yesterday.

- Okay, I can understand
your skepticism, Josh.

I need you to trust me.

Can you do that?

- Mr. Turner, do you suppose
we will be continuing

with these proceedings
anytime soon?

- I also would like Miss
Hartman to represent me.

- Very well.

What do you have to
say for yourselves?

- [Maggie] Your Honor,
we are being charged with

the incitement of civil
disorder, is that right?

- You are correct, young lady.

- So, the definition of
this infraction is willfully

causing or creating
an impediment with
the sole intention

of interfering with a
law enforcement officer

carrying out their
official duties.

Is that right?

- Well, at least you've done
your research on the charges,

which is more than 90% of
people who represent themselves.

But Miss Hartman,
do you have a point

that actually
addresses this charge?

- I do, Your Honor,
submitted into evidence

is the authorized permit for
the rally at the library.

- I see, and?

- Well, given that the permit
for the rally is valid,

the issue of underlying
cause is absent.

Therefore, as issued in the
State of Illinois versus Camden,

the lack of underlying
causes renders

the subsequent arrest invalid.

I move that this case be
dismissed with prejudice.

- Hm, well, this
certainly took a turn.

Illinois versus Camden you say?

Good reference.
- Thank you, Your Honor.

- Underlying cause is
quite relevant here.

With that in mind, I'm
going to rule in your favor.

This case is dismissed
with prejudice,

and the arrests
shall be stricken.

(Josh chuckling)
- Thank you, Your Honor.

Um, Your Honor, while I
have the court's attention,

I would like to beg a moment
of your indulgence if I may.

- Oh, dear.
(George hushes)

- While other matters
brought us here,

there is an issue
of grave importance

that I'd like to discuss.

- Hm, this afternoon
is turning out

much differently than expected.

- Thank you, Your Honor.

We believe that
the very character

of this town can be
found in the old library.

Yes, the plaster is
cracked, the paint is faded,

but there's a good foundation.

And the library is important
not only to the history

of our town, but to
each of us individually.

And currently, bulldozers are
set to destroy this building.

Now, I have here
paperwork to file

a temporary restraining
order against the demolition

of the library at
Main and Grand.

May I approach?
- You may do so.

(judge sighs)

You know as a child,
that library was where

I learned to read.

I have to admit it's
not often I'm surprised,

but you, Miss Hartman,
have done just that.

All your T's are crossed
and your I's are dotted.

Very well.

Unless evidence to the
contrary is presented

as to why demolition of
the library is imperative,

a temporary restraining
order is granted for 14 days.

- Thank you, Your Honor.
(courtroom applauding)

- Where did that come from?

- I uh, I watch a
lot of Law and Order.

- You must.
(light music)

- That was my daughter.
(Josh chuckling)

- [Maggie] Hi.

- She did it!
(crowd applauding)

She saved the library.
(crowd cheering)

(Maggie giggling)

- Hey, buddy, back off the girl.

It's bad enough you
got her arrested.

- Okay, wow, wow.

First of all, the girl, hi.

Second, Josh didn't
get me arrested.

It was the other way around.

- I don't think that
matters to my father.

I had to spend the better
part of my morning explaining

why I'm dating a jailbird.

- A jail, sheesh.

A jailbird, seriously?

- You can explain it to him.

He has requested
that you join us

for dinner tonight at the club.

- Your dad did?
- Yeah.

- Wow, okay, yeah.

- Let's go.
- Sure.

- It won't be so bad.

I'll see you tonight.
- Okay, bye.

- Objection, overruled!
- Oh, hi.

(Carrie giggling)

Hi, you.

- Oh, you were a boss out there.

(Maggie giggling)

Okay, so, your friend
Josh, he's a cutie.

I was thinking about
asking him out.

What do you think?

(soft music)
- Yeah, you know what?

He is great and you're great,
so that would be, that's...

Why wouldn't that be great?

- Awesome possum.

Okay, I'm gonna see if
I can catch up with him.

- [Maggie] Okay.

- You getting in or are we
camping in the parking lot?

- I mean, honestly, Dad, at
this point I'd take either one.

(Carrie giggling)
(Josh chuckling)

- Right?

(car horn honking)

(swanky music)

- So, what's this
nonsense I hear

about my son's girlfriend
getting arrested?

- Oh, that, yes.

Well, um, the case
has been dismissed

and the arrest has
been expunged, so it's-

- Expunged?
- It's expunged.

- This is how you kids
are talking these days?

- Oh, (stuttering).

No, I just meant that
it's been totally like,

like, like wiped
from the record, so.

- Okay, well that's
fine and good.

But why were you even
there in the first place?

- Oh, I was helping a friend.

He's trying to save the library.

- Why?

I personally donated money

to the new library
out in Parkside.

It's much better, trust me.

- Well, you know, just
because there's a new library

doesn't mean we have to let
developers bulldoze the old one.

- Oh boy.
- When did developers

become a dirty word?

This country was
built by developers.

- Okay, nobody's saying
developers are evil, Dad.

So, can we please save
the lecture about how

the first vehicles on the
road to progress were...

Okay.
- Michael Williams is trying

to turn that property
into something useful.

And he's a friend.
- Is he?

Is he a friend that
you do business with?

I'm just curious.

- Yes, I plan to
invest in the project.

And do you know how
much tax revenue

this new development
will bring into the city?

In addition to a community
center for at risk youth.

Housing for low income seniors.

- What Maggie came here to
say is that it was a mistake

being there and she's sorry.

- No, no, it's not.

The situation was blown
out of proportion.

It was not a
mistake to be there.

And I am not sorry.

- But she's never done
this sorta thing before,

so let's just cut
her some slack.

- Some slack he says.

I never needed slack.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Looks great, mm.

- Well, I'm so sorry to have
caused problems for you.

I would at very least like to
hear more about the project.

- Okay then.

Maybe this girlfriend of yours
has some sense after all.

(John chuckling)

Dig in.

(car engine rumbling)

(Rick sighs)

- Are you okay?

- I just wanna make so
much money that I never

have to hear one of his
condescending lectures again.

- Hey, you will, okay?

I know that you will.

- I'm glad at least
you believe in me.

Thank you for that.

Promise me you won't let
me turn into him, okay?

- Yeah, I promise.

(light music)

Hey.
- Oh, hey, honey.

- What you doing?

- Just looking at
pictures for the party.

Oh, will you look at that.

(Maggie laughing)

Were you old enough to remember?

That summer your father grew
that handlebar mustache.

- Seriously?
- Ugh.

- Wow.

- Aw, there it is.

That is where your
father proposed.

- Huh.

How did you know that he
was the one do you think?

- Oh, I don't know if he is.

- What do you mean,
what does that mean?

Are you guys having problems?

- No, honey, no, it's
nothing like that.

- Okay.
- No.

I adore your father.

And he had better
say the same for me.

But I think this notion of the
one does people a disservice.

It gives folks the idea
that all you have to do

is meet the one and then
it's smooth sailing forever.

People buy into that and
then when things get rough,

and there's always a point
when things get rough.

It makes it too easy to bail

and look for the
one somewhere else.

- How did you two get together?

- Well, when I was your age
there were several young men

vying for my attention.

All of them were very nice.

I think any one of them
coulda been the one.

Although, your father did
check off a lotta boxes for me.

He was handsome and bright
and always good for a laugh.

But I didn't go into the
relationship thinking,

"oh, he's definitely the one."

Because I think that
love is a choice.

It's a choice we make
on a continual basis.

Hey, is everything okay?

- Mm hm, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I just, I had a bit
of a strange day.

I think I might go to
Flannigan's and get a piece of

banana cream pie.
- Ooh

- Always makes me feel better.

Do you wanna come?

- No, I think I
should go through

this other box of pictures.

- Okay.

- Hey, I love you.

- I love you too, Mommy.

(soft music)

(muffled talking)
(Carrie laughing)

(fist knocking)

Do you live there now?

(Ash chuckling)

Are you wearing aftershave?

That's a new shirt.

What's going on?

- So, what if it is?

Nicki and I are going on
a picnic this afternoon.

- Nicki, no, no,
no, no, no, hold on.

I thought you were hitting it
off with um, what's her name?

Veronica.
- Yeah, duh, Veronica.

But her friends call her Nicki.

And now, I'm one of her friends.

- That girl was Nicki.

Oh, no, no, no,
what have I done?

Hey, no, you come back.

I have questions.

No fancy towel stuff.
- Mm mm.

- Come back, come back here.

Do not slam that door.

I will take you back
to the brontosaur!

(door slamming)
(Maggie grumbling)

- Kids, stop slamming the doors.

I'm doing a load of whites.

- Nope, nope, nope,
nope, nope, nope, no.

- Feel strongly
about laundry, do we?

- We can't let Ash
date this Nicki person.

- What are you talking about?

He's finally come out of
his shell a little bit.

- Mom, you don't get it.

Okay, she is horrible.

She's the girl who toys
with him all summer.

And then when they go back to
school she breaks up with him

in front of everybody
at the Homecoming Dance.

It destroys him.

He never recovers.

- Someone's a negative Nancy.

And what's with the grammar?

Your tenses are
all over the place.

Is it too late to get
a refund on college?

- Yes!

- Oh, your young man is here.

- Rick?
- No, the other one.

- Oh, gosh.

- The game was
unbelievable last night.

- Don't even talk
to me about it.

- I mean, we were
completely robbed.

- Wait, robbed, who was robbed?

What?
- The Cubs.

But that's nothing new.

- Okay, hi.
- Hi.

- What are you doing here?

- Oh, right, barracudas.

- Okay, care to expand?

- You know how yesterday I
told you you saved the library.

- Yeah.
- And I was so

pumped about that.
- Mm hm.

- That might've been
a bit premature.

This morning I got a phone call.

Apparently Michael
Williams Investments-

- Who wants to buy the library?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- They're teamed up
with a high octane

law firm out of Chicago.

Luckman and (snapping)-
- Seriously?

Luckman, Reed and Baxter?

- No, just Luckman, Reed.

- Oh, of course, Baxter
wouldn't be partner yet.

- What?
- What?

- Why, have you heard of them?

Is this bad news?

- Uh, I think ironic is the
word that I'm looking for.

Of course the developer
would have them on retainer.

They're one of the best
law firms in Chicago.

(Josh sighs)

- That's not reassuring.

I'm headed to Chicago
to meet with one

of the lawyers this afternoon.

I barely had enough
money to print fliers.

I certainly don't have
enough to hire a lawyer.

I'm doomed.

- Mm, no you're not.

You are not doomed because I
am gonna be at that meeting.

(light music)

Huh.

Oh, wow.

You look, you look great.

- I'm sorry?
- Your suit is lovely.

It's a great, it's a great suit.

Good afternoon.

- Good afternoon.

I'm Malcolm Baxter,
senior counsel

for Michael Williams
Investments.

- Hi, I'm Maggie Turn...

Maggie Hartman is
me, is my name,

and this is Josh Turner.

- Well, I'm gonna get
right down to business.

My client has put
considerable time

and effort into the
property at Main and Grand.

Now, we understand that
you might have some

emotional attachment to
the existing structure.

So, we are prepared to offer
you a stipend for your trouble.

(light dramatic music)

Take your time.

- Okay, rule number one
of settling out of court,

you throw money at it
and see if it goes away.

(Maggie clears throat)

(paper ripping)

- Are you kids trying
to play hardball?

That is cute.

I have to admit, that is cute.

But I'm sure you can think
of more enjoyable ways

to spend your summer, so.

Maybe this will help.

(light dramatic music)

- Why is he doing
it like that again?

- I don't know, it's
just such a long table.

I, we got your point,

just thank you so much.
- Take your time.

- Yeah, you
definitely took yours.

Okay, rule number two, if a
little money doesn't work,

you throw a lotta money at it.

- That would buy a lotta books.

Never have to go
to a library again.

- Mr. Baxter, that's
not why I'm doing this.

There are more
important issues here.

(Malcom scoffs)

- You have issues?
- Yes!

I have issues with your client

disregarding
heritage and history.

- Right, because anytime someone
wants to develop a property

people start throwing
around the word history.

Listen, I'm gonna write
another number down-

- No, no, you're not listening.

Do you know anything
about this building

that we're trying to save?

(Malcom scoffs)
Does your client?

In the 1800s, after Andrew
Carnegie made his fortune,

he decided he wanted to make

the world a more peaceful place.

And he knew the only way to
do that was through education.

So he built 2,500 libraries
all over the country.

And this building that your
client's so anxious to tear down

was one of the very
first ones completed.

And I know as strongly
as I know anything,

that he had the right idea.

And that idea lives
in this library.

I don't think we should
tear something down

just because it's old.

I think we should leave things
better than we find them.

I'm sure you can agree.
(light music)

- Do you do this a lot?

Does he do this a lot?

Listen, I have
dinner reservations.

And the minute I walk out,
that offer disappears,

and so does your library.

- Well, we hope you
enjoy your dinner

because we will
see you in court.

Okay, we're storming
out now, Josh.

- So, you want me to-
- Yes, please.

- Got it.
- Thanks.

You have yourself a nice day.

- [Malcom] Miss Hartman,
might I have a word alone?

- It's all right.
- I'll wait outside.

- Okay.

How can I help you?

- I think the question is
how can we help each other?

After a brief consultation
with my client,

I'm prepared to take the
offer we made you in there,

and increase it by 50%.

You'd have it in your
bank account today,

and no one needs to know.

Throw in a little something
for your boyfriend.

- He's not my boyfriend.
- Oh, I don't care.

- Okay, listen, as much as
I am enjoying this riveting

little round of
divide and conquer,

we've made it
pretty clear that we

are not interested in money.

So at this point you're starting
to look a little desperate.

- Okay, what is it you want?

- The library, were
you not listening?

- Well, that's not
going to happen.

- I mean, a judge might
disagree with you.

Isn't that why you're in
here with your big numbers

on your little pieces of paper?

- Listen, young lady, I
understand you're having fun

playing dress-up and
interfering with the adults who

are trying to do business,
but I am part of a machine.

It's the kinda
machine that grinds

little naive girls
like you into dust.

So, don't mess with me
because you have no idea

who you're dealing with.

(Maggie chuckling)

- Actually, Mal, I know
exactly who I'm dealing with.

I think the problem
is that you don't.

How much do you know
about your client?

Did you do your due diligence
on Michael Williams?

Or were you just really fast
to cash that retainer check?

Because I happen to
know more about you

and your client than you
could possibly imagine.

So, I guess the
real unknown factor

in this equation would be me.

And there is nothing,
nothing more dangerous

than an opponent you don't know.

And you know where
I learned that from?

From you.

(gentle music)
(birds chirping)

- [Malcom] Tenets that are
outlined in Kelo v. New London,

and Lingle v. Chevron USA Inc.

- Your Honor, Mr. Baxter is
misrepresenting those rulings.

- If I might be
allowed to finish.

- Miss Hartman, you will be
given your turn to present.

Proceed, counselor.
- Thank you, Your Honor.

Allowing these kids to stop
the demolition is not only

a grave infringement
of my client's rights,

but it could leave the city open

to charges of
breach of contract.

Therefore, we demand
that you overturn

the restraining order.

Thank you.

- Miss Hartman, you have
some thoughts on this matter?

- Yes, I do, Your
Honor, thank you.

The case law that
Mr. Baxter is citing

is only relevant in issues
of property ownership.

Now, the court should be
aware that at no point has

Michael Williams Investments
purchased the library property.

We'd like to enter into
evidence the city's contract

with Michael Williams
Investments as
exhibit 4-c please.

- [Judge] Duly noted.

- Now, a review of
this contract reveals

that Michael Williams
Investments entered

into a favorable lease
agreement with the city.

In return they promised
to build a youth center

and low income seniors housing,

and therefore access large
city redevelopment grants.

Now, those of us who oppose
the demolition of the library

understand and respect the
rights of legitimate developers,

but we believe that Michael
Williams Investments

quite frankly aided and
abetted by opposing counsel

have been deliberately
misrepresenting
their intentions.

- Your Honor, that
is conjecture.

- He has a point, Miss Hartman.

Can you back this up?

- Well, we've noted in the
contract where the city

is provided a good faith
deposit with the company.

However, the majority of
the construction grants

won't be made available
until after Williams

carries out the demolition.

This is why they're
following through on this.

Michael Williams
has no intention

of delivering on his contact.

He's just desperate
for a payout.

- That is not only rank
conjecture, but also slander.

- Miss Hartman,
do you have proof?

- I do not at this
moment, Your Honor.

If I had some more time
I would probably be-

- Time, time.

Your Honor, every day
these people delay

inflicts financial
hardship upon my client.

We strongly urge you
to overturn the stay.

- Understood.

Is there anything else
before I make my ruling?

(soft music)

- No, Your Honor.

- The weight of the law
leans heavily towards

the validity of legally
binding contracts.

Lacking any new and
significant information

as to why Michael Williams
Investment should not

be allowed to fulfill
this contract,

I'm afraid I have
to rule in favor of

Michael Williams Investments.
(crowd gasps)

Your order barring demolition
of the library is overturned.

(gavel thudding)
- Thank you, Your Honor.

We expect demolition to start
within the next few days.

- I was supposed to fix this.

I was supposed to make
sure it would be okay.

I was supposed to make sure
that you would be okay.

- Hey, you did the
best that anyone could.

- Thanks.

- Well, Miss Hartman,
A for effort.

Now, I do hope you're able
to find more useful ways

of spending your time instead
of interfering with grown-ups.

(paperwork thudding)

- Hi.

- Hey, I'm sorry you lost.

But for what's it
worth you were amazing.

- Thank you.

I just, I don't know.

I can't help but feel like

that should have
gone differently.

- Hm.
- At least your dad's friend

will be happy, right?

- Maybe, but let's
forget about all that

'cause I'm gonna take
you somewhere nice
for dinner tonight.

- Okay.

(gentle music)
(Maggie giggling)

Why would they do that?

You know this actually
is cheering me up.

- Oh, I'm glad because now
that the whole library thing

is behind us, I
wanna move forward.

- What do you mean?

- Now that the case
went in my dad's favor,

I know he can
forgive and forget.

- Sorry, what do I need
to be forgiven for?

Isn't your dad an
investor in this project?

- Not yet, he was waiting to see

how the case would shake out.

Now that it's settled,
he's going for lunch

with Michael Williams
at the club tomorrow

to go over the financials

and finalize the investment.
(Maggie sighs)

- He really shouldn't
do that, Rick.

- Look, I know you don't
like Michael Williams,

but it would make it
lot easier on everybody

if you just got over it.

You making things difficult
for my dad's friends,

I'm sure you could see how he
would take that as an affront.

I know your heart was
in the right place.

You were just helping a friend.

- What? No.

And I don't want them to
demolish the library, Rick.

- Yeah, but what does it matter?

We're meant for far greater
things than this town.

And I have seen how
forceful and passionate

you were in that courtroom.

You have ambition.

That's how I feel about the
businesses I wanna start.

(Maggie sighs)

We're gonna go places.

So, what does it matter
if there is or isn't

an old library in a town that
we're gonna leave behind?

- Because we should leave places
better than we found them.

Thank you.
- Thank you.

Well, talking about better,
I wanna talk about us.

- What about us?

- The term power couple,
that could describe us.

Wouldn't that be something
you're interested in?

Well, I have been
thinking about it since

we first started
dating freshman year.

And three and a half years
later, I am even more impressed

and more in love
with you than ever.

(gentle music)

Maggie Hartman, would you
conquer the world with me?

- Yeah, okay.

Yeah (giggling).

(crowd applauding)

Oh my gosh.

Cheers.

Dad.
- I'm just texting Ash

so he can come hear
your big secret news.

- Dad, use your thumbs.

- What?
- Gotta use your thumbs.

It's faster if your
use your thumbs.

No, okay, so you have to
hit the key the number

of times for the
letter that you want.

- I just deleted everything.
- Dad.

- Oh this is never
gonna catch on.

Okay, we'll just tell him later.

What is it?

- Okay.
(Estelle gasps)

- Oh, would you look at that.

- You suppose that boy might
come inside the house now

instead of just honking outside?

- I mean, maybe.

- Invite him for lunch tomorrow.

We'll celebrate.

- We should plan that.

I know that tomorrow he has
to be the fourth for golf

for his dad and
Michael Williams.

- No.

(somber music)

- Thought I might find you here.

- Yeah, figured I'd
come say goodbye

before the bulldozer showed up.

(Maggie clears throat)

(Maggie sighing)

Congratulations.

- Oh, yeah, I wanted
to tell you myself,

but I guess news travels fast.

- It is a small town.

- Yeah.

I'm sorry.

- About the engagement?

- No, about the library.

- Right.

I know it's just
an empty building,

but it's about
what it represents.

- Mm hm.
- The power and importance

of words; words are
knowledge, they're ideas,

they're the tools we use
to build our thoughts.

So, they're important.

Words like community,
justice and I love you.

- Josh, Josh, I...

I don't think you
really know me.

I don't know if you ever did.

- I know you're
smart and passionate.

You fight for what
you believe in.

You help where help is needed.

You're brave, tenacious.

You always see the
best in people.

Even Rick.
(both laughing)

- He's not a bad guy.

And he loves me, he really does.

- I know, I know.

I can tell by the
way he looks at you.

- Listen, I would
be lying if I said

I don't have feelings
for you because I do.

But I don't wanna hurt you.

I've only ever wanted
you to be happy, Josh.

- I'm sorry, I shouldn't
have said anything-

- Oh, no, no, no,
no, please don't.

Don't be sorry.

- I want you to be happy too.

I mean it.

So, I guess Rick's the one, huh?

- Ah, yeah, I guess.

- So, do you think you're
gonna do a big country club

wedding or an over-the-top
destination wedding?

I don't know, somewhere exotic.

Brazil, I dunno.

- Brazil.
- Nah, you're right.

You should probably do
like Paris or something.

- No, no, no, no, no, no, no,

not the wedding,
Michael Williams.

Brazil doesn't have
extradition reciprocity,

that's why he goes there.

- Why do you know
so many things?

- Michael Williams is getting
checks from Rick's father

and another investor at
the country club tomorrow.

I would love to know what kind
of financials he's claiming.

- Well, we could...

Nah, it's stupid.
- What, what?

- Oh, I was just gonna say
that we could I don't know,

sneak in and steal
his briefcase.

But that's just-
- Yeah, that's the kinda

thing that gets me disbarred.

If I were a lawyer, which I
am absolutely totally not, so.

(Josh chuckling)

- I mean, like I said, it
was a stupid idea okay?

- Is it?

(light music)

Hi, there.

We're just looking
for job applications.

- [Man] All right,
go on through.

- [Maggie] Thank you so much.

Have a good day.
- Just some normal people.

- You go get job
applications for our cover,

and I'm gonna get the laundry.

- Okay, let's go.

(light music)

- Hello.

Listen, I know you
have thing about

wearing other people's clothes.

- What, how would
you know about that?

I mean, not that that's a thing
that I have a thing about.

I don't have a thing about that.

- No, of course you don't.

Um, can you wear
this shirt please?

- On my body.
- Josh.

We're not members.

We have like two seconds
before they kick us out.

Nobody gives the
staff a second look.

It's like an invisibility cloak.

- Okay, Brett, Brett,
my name is Brett.

I play a lot of Xbox.

I wanna put sweet, sweet
rims on my Hyundai Elantra.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

- I don't know how you make it

through the world as yourself.

(Josh sighs)
You good?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You gonna live?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm good.
- Good, great, great.

And if I have timed
this correctly.

- There you go.
- All right.

- Nice.
- Let's do it.

(light music)

- You just have to trust me.

It's not that hard.

All right.

(both clearing throats)

Hi, hey, there, Helms.

Listen, there's a little
old lady in the sauna.

What'd she say her
name was, Brett?

- Vermelle.
- Vermelle, Vermelle is saying

that she lost the
key to her locker,

and now she's headed towards
the dining room in a towel.

So, do you have a
spare we could borrow?

- Are you kids new?

- Yes, yes, we're very new.
- Yes.

- We started a couple weeks ago.

- You processed my badge.
- You did.

- You kids are starting
to blend together.

I stay the same, but y'all
just keep getting younger.

It's chow time, so I
got nobody to take over.

So, take the master key.

But if this isn't back in my
ring by the end of my shift,

I will come and
find you, Jocelyn.

- Hope you do.

You have yourself
a great day, sir.

Okay, let's hit the
men's locker room.

Oh, gentlemen,
I'm gonna need you

to give me just one minute.

Thank you so much.

(light dramatic music)

- Um, hi.

Uh, I just fired up the
sauna if you wanna you know,

grab a fresh towel.

15 minutes in there and
you'll be new men, huh?

Maybe?

Nice and refreshing.

Get a good schvitz in.

Yeah, enjoy.

(lockers clanking)

It's fine.

Nothing to see here.

Just Brett with some towels.

Go, go, go.

- You should keep that name tag.

You seem to like it.
- What?

- Hey, a little bit of help!
- Okay.

- Should we just pull over here?

- No, keep going, keep going.

- What about here?
- No, not yet.

- Why not?

- Just keep going.
- I am going.

- Oh, stop, stop,
stop, stop, stop.

Here.

While you were charming
Helms out of the key,

I was clocking where the
security cameras were.

Besides, cigarette butts.

This is where the staff
smokes so they can't be seen.

- Props to Brett.

You are revealing a criminal
mind I did not know existed.

Respect.
- Don't give me props yet.

Tried it, flopped.

- Yeah, I figured it would be.

One second.

I went through a
phase where I wanted

to be an escape artist as a kid.

I kept locking Ash
in the basement.

But I came away with a skillset.

(Josh chuckling)

- Now who's the
criminal mastermind?

Is it in there?
- Yep.

(light dramatic music)

(Josh whistling)

- Hi.
- Hi.

- I'm up from billing and
our copier is on the fritz.

I really need to get
these reports done.

- Sure, okay.
- Oh, thanks so much.

Great.

(Josh sighs)

(light dramatic music)

- Hello to you, sir.

- Still got it.
(phone dinging)

- Oh, sorry, just one second.

- Ugh, why so tiny?

- Hi, excuse me.

Yeah, hi, hello.
- Hi.

- Uh, Jocelyn.
- That's me, yep.

- [Woman] You could stop
texting your boyfriend.

- Oh, he's not my boyfriend.

- I called housekeeping
20 minutes ago.

Those hampers are
practically overflowing.

- Right, yes, and
that is why I am here.

- And you should be there.

Thank you.
- Thank you.

That's really nice.

Wow.
(light dramatic music)

- Anytime.
- Hey, just give him a second.

(Michael groaning)

- Man down (chuckling).

That's what-
- Come on, help me.

- Okay, okay.
- Are you all right?

- No, I'm not all right.
- Come on, get off it.

- Piece of cake.
(Michael groaning)

(light dramatic music)

Yeah, Dad, I got it.

- You gonna be okay.
- Yeah.

(golf clubs clanking)
(Michael groaning)

- And at least it's bandaged.

Okay.
- Ow, ow.

- No.
(hand thudding)

- Doing well.
- Your son hit me a golf ball.

- I know, well, what can you do?

(Michael panting)

It's just a little
more this way.

(Maggie sighing)

- Hi, there, could we get
medical to the clubhouse please?

It looks like there's someone
coming in off the golf course.

They appear to be
having a heart attack.

Oh, thank you so much.

Bye, bye.

(copier beeping)
(Josh sighing)

(stretcher clanking)

- Okay, come on.

It's not a heart attack.

- He just sprained his ankle.

Did you order this?

- Oh, hi, I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

Sorry.

- I was able to copy
90% of the towels.

Here, take these, take these.

- Go, go, go, go, go, go!

- I'm going, I'm going as fast-

- Go faster than you're going!
- Okay.

(light dramatic music)

(keys jingling)

Have you seen a rat?

- You gonna be okay there?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

(Michael groaning)

(Maggie gasps)

- Excuse me, can
you move your cart?

We're trying to get
in the locker room.

- Yeah, sorry, my
brake's broken.

I'm gonna need like a
second to fix it please.

- [Rick] Oh, here,
here, let me help.

There you go.
- Oh my gosh,

you're really strong.
- The brake's fine.

- Thank you.

You have a great day, sir.
- You too.

- Bye, bye now.

(Michael groaning)
- You're gonna be fine, okay?

- It's fine.

- [Rick] I know you
wanted to get 18 holes in,

but wanna just change
and get outta here?

- Yeah.
- Okay, good.

Hey!

Could we get some towels?

(suspenseful music)

These attendants
are crazy today.

- Yeah.

- Go, go!
- I'm going!

- Go, go, go!
- I'm going!

(Maggie laughing)

- [Maggie] I can't
believe that worked.

- That was amazing.
(Maggie laughing)

- Oh, hey, Katheryn.

This is a copy of
Kennsington's Investors list.

Let's see what we can find
out about everybody in there.

- Okay.
- Thanks.

- Tracey, hi.
- Hi.

- How's it going?
- Good.

I help with bookkeeping for
my dad's construction company.

- Great.

- These are account numbers.

The money from the
city and the investors

should all go into
an escrow account.

But here's the thing, the
account numbers don't match up.

- So, what's going on?

- We don't know.

Unless I like hacked
into the accounts.

- And see, that
would be unethical

and I could not
ask you to do that.

- So, I shouldn't?

- Tracey, come with me.

I would never ask
you to do that,

just like I would never ever
tell you that you should take

all of these things and
bring them to the basement

where Ash has the best computer
and the WiFi is very fast.

- Right, I'm not going to
hack these accounts at all.

- No.

- And yeah, you guys
have super fast WiFi.

- Oh, this is nothing.

When you get down there,
tell Ash that in the future,

WiFi speeds are going
to blow his mind.

He'll get it.

Hey, Tracey, your
shirt is really cute.

- You like it?
- I like it,

but my brother's gonna love it.

- You're gonna be great.
- Come on, let's go in.

- What do we do if
the judge asks us

how the new information
was obtained?

- I find in that
case the best defense

is to get incredibly offended.

- Miss Hartman, we must
stop meeting like this.

People will talk.

- People always
talk, Your Honor.

We hope to give them
appropriate reason.

- Your Honor, I would
like to point out

that we have already
resolved this matter.

Miss Hartman is filing
nuisance motions as a means

of wasting the time of
the court and myself.

- This court assumes
that you are billing

your clients for
everything on this case.

So, our definitions of wasting
time apparently differ.

Now, it looks like the court
is being asked to invoke

a permanent stay against
demolition of the library.

So, have a seat, Mr. Baxter,

and let's hear what
Miss Hartman has to say

before we toss around
words like nuisance.

The floor is yours.
- Thank you, Your Honor.

(Maggie clears throat)

Your Honor, we are asking
this court to reinstate

and make permanent
the injunction against

the demolition of the library.

- On what possible grounds?

- On the grounds
of new information

that has recently come to light.

If it'd please the court, we'd
like to submit into evidence

documents we have labeled
exhibits F through P.

- I move to disallow.

We haven't been informed
of any new documents.

- I'm sorry, Your Honor,
I'm sure that Mr. Baxter

knows as well as I do
that his is a hearing,

so the rules of
disclosure don't apply.

However, I have made copies
for opposing counsel,

although I feel
that their client

will be more than familiar
with the contents.

- Uh, Your Honor, we would
move to have this new evidence

excluded on a cursory
review it would appear

that this evidence is
unfairly prejudicial.

- Your Honor, we maintain
that these documents

have a highly probative
value to this case.

- Additionally, it would appear
that many of these documents

have been stolen from
my client's briefcase.

(Maggie gasps)
- Stolen, you say?

Miss Hartman.
- Your Honor, I'm outraged.

Is Mr. Baxter really accusing
me of theft in a court of law?

I mean, he of all people should
know that such outlandish

accusations without
underlying proof

are slanderous and
highly actionable.

- The young lady does
have a very valid point.

I'm assuming you would not
want to open yourself up

to that type of legal exposure.

So, what proof do you have?

Are the originals missing?

- No, they don't seem to be.

But these two pages are
wrinkled, indicating tampering.

- Wrinkles.

You would like me to throw out
evidence because of wrinkles.

I like to pride
myself on my patience,

but it has limits, Mr. Baxter.

It has limits.

Your motion is overruled.

Now, Miss Hartman, would
you care to explain

to the court what
we are looking at.

- Absolutely, Your Honor.

Michael Williams presented
document F to the city

as a means of securing funding.

That is a list of his
45 primary investors.

We did some research on this
list and it does appear that

29 of them are deceased and
11 are currently incarcerated.

- Mr. Baxter?

- Thank you.

Exhibits K through M show
a series of transactions

between escrow accounts
meant for construction funds.

However, you'll see that
the funds were transferred

to a subsidiary company,
Platinum Holdings.

And later used to purchase
property in Bahia, Brazil.

The sole proprietor
of Platinum Holdings

is Michael Williams.

- Whoa, dude.

- Your Honor, you last time
we spoke you asked for proof

that Michael Williams
intends to defraud the city.

I feel like these
documents connect the dots.

Thank you.

- I take your assertion that
these documents were obtained

illegally as proof that
they are in fact valid.

- We may not have reviewed them
closely enough, Your Honor.

- Well, perhaps I can help
in your review by turning

these documents over to
the State Attorney General.

And Mr. Williams, until they
have come to a conclusion,

you are hereby ordered
not to leave the state.

In light of this and the current
petition facing this court,

I am granting a
permanent injunction

against demolition
of the library.

(gavel thudding)
Court is adjourned.

(crowd applauding)

- You did it.
- Thanks.

Okay.

- Miss Hartman.

I'm not accustomed
to being bested.

Especially not by someone
I assumed was a novice.

- And yet, here we are.
- Yes, here we are.

- [Maggie] Hm.

- Give me a call if you need

a recommendation for law school.

And there may be a place
for you at our firm.

That is if you
can prove you have

what it takes to
swim with sharks.

- Oh, Mal, see the thing is,
I um, I think I just did.

(Malcom chuckling)
(crowd cheering)

(Maggie sighs)
(Josh chuckling)

- You were amazing.
- Thanks.

(both laughing)

- Get a room.

- This is awkward,
I don't know him,

so it's really embarrassing.
(Josh chuckling)

(Maggie clears throat)

- Well, all is right
with the world.

(Maggie giggling)

- Yeah.

Almost.

(Josh groaning)
Okay, you ready?

- No!
- Okay, on three.

- This is my dad's truck.

- This is my dad's spine.
- What?

- One, two, three, go!

(tires screeching)

(ladder crunching)

- Happy?
- Nope, back it up.

(rock music)

(Josh groaning)

- Happy?
- Nope, one more time.

(tires screeching)
(ladder crunching)

(Josh sighs)

- Happy?
- Now I am happy.

(Josh chuckling)

(gentle music)

(phone dinging)

(Maggie sighs)

(upbeat music)

- Hi.
- Hi.

Oh, you look beautiful.
- Aw, well, thank you.

Happy your parents'
25th anniversary party.

- Oh, thank you very much.

It's all about me.

Hey, where's Josh?

I thought you guys
were coming together?

- Yeah, he was supposed to,

but he is in love
with someone else.

- Ah, yeah, I'm
sorry about that.

- How does that
someone else feel?

- It's that obvious, huh?
- Hm.

- Okay.

I don't know, I don't know.

I, I, I guess I didn't
really expect it

to get this complicated.

- Hey, while we're on the topic.

- Uh huh.
- Can I have a look

at that complication?
- Mm hm.

- Wow.
- I know.

- Maggie.

- Hi.
- Hey.

- Hi.
- Can we talk?

Somewhere quieter?
- Yes, yes, we can.

One second.

(Maggie sighs)

- So, my dad wanted
me to tell you that-

- Oh, it's, it's okay.

He doesn't have to thank me.
- No, he's furious.

His friend's getting
indited because of you.

- His friend?

His friend who was
gonna scam him?

He's mad at me?
- You don't know my dad.

He hates being proven
wrong more than anything.

But what I don't get
is I thought we had
put this behind us?

We were supposed to
conquer the world together.

But now you're back in court
going against all that.

Why would you do that?

- I mean, it was the
right thing to do.

That's gotta count
for something.

- I asked you to marry me.

That should count for something.

- It does.

It really, really does.

It's just, it's not enough.

I think that the idea of
you is just wrapped up

in somebody I thought
I wanted to be.

- I don't know what
you're talking about.

(Maggie chuckling)

- I know, I know you don't.

I'm um, I'm really sorry, Rick.

I'm sorry.

(upbeat music)

I don't want a
do-over, Josh Turner.

- I can't hear you,
Maggie Hartman.

(woman gasps)
(glasses shattering)

(Maggie screams)
(Josh gasps)

(head thudding)

(light eerie music)

Maggie?

Maggie, can you hear me?
- Sweetheart?

Sweetheart, are you okay?
- Honey?

- What?

What, what happened?

What's goin on?

- You must've hit
your head pretty hard.

You were out for
about 30 seconds.

- I was?

Oh, it felt way
longer than that.

You're going gray.

- Are you sure you're okay?

It's been coming
in for a few years.

- All right, it's a good
thing I am dating a doctor.

He's just grabbing
his bag from the car.

- Oh, gosh.

Um, Daddy, were you dancing?

- Well, what do you expect?

It's not everyday we celebrate
our 40th anniversary.

- Ash!

Um, I just uh, I just got back.

- What are you talking about?

- I just got back.

- No way, seriously?
- Yeah.

And you're here with Tracey.

You're here with Tracey!

- Yeah, sis!

We came in from
Palo Alto yesterday.

We have a couple more
months before I can't fly.

- Oh my gosh, I'm back.

(Maggie giggling)

I'm really back.
- Yeah.

- Hi.
- Hi.

(gentle music)

- Sweetie, are you
sure you're okay?

I mean, that was
quite a bump you took.

- I'm fine, I promise.

I want you guys to
go enjoy your party.

I just need some rest.
- You're sure?

- I really am.

- Let's get you home.
- Okay.

- Where's uh, where's the car?

- Uh, honey, you guys
walked over here.

But I can drive you home if
you're not up for the 10 blocks.

- I think that's a good idea.
- No, no, I'm fine.

- You sure?
- You sure?

- Yeah, I am.
- Aw, I love you so much.

- I love you.
- And you too.

- Put some ice on
that bump, okay?

- I will.
- You look after her.

- Will do.

Go have fun.

- We did all right.
- Yeah.

(lips smacking)

(fountain trickling)

(both laughing)

- Oh my gosh.

Oh, look.

The library, it's so beautiful.

- Library?
- Yeah.

- No one's called your
office that in years.

Are you sure you're okay?

- I just had the strangest
sense of deja vu.

I thought that, I thought
that we lived in Chicago,

and I worked at this big firm.

- Okay, all right.

We're definitely getting
you checked out tomorrow.

- No, no, no, no, it's okay.

I'm okay, I obviously
know that we live here,

and that is my office and you
are the school superintendent.

- And we're the
local power couple.

- Does anybody
actually call us that?

- I do.
- Do you?

- All the time.
- All the time?

- All the time.
(Maggie giggling)

(gentle music)

- That's enough for me.

Let's go home.

(upbeat funky music)
