All language subtitles for Matlock s01e18 Tricks Of The Trade 1.eng

Previously on Matlock...

MATTY:
The law firm Jacobson Moore hid

documents that could have taken
opioids off the market

ten years earlier.

Think of how many lives
that could have saved,

including our daughter's.

BILLY: What did you do?
SARAH: I just...

took a tiny little case.

We're not allowed to take cases
without Olympia signing off.

Dino just needed

a strongly worded
cease and desist to scare off

his business partner.

Wow, there's some
strong language in here.

Why don't we ask
the managing board to pick

only one of us for partner,
and the other leaves?

OLYMPIA:
Elijah just told me

that the partner board is
unhappy with my performance.

Suddenly, I'm not
"partner material."

Olympia said he got
a chunk of money

to buy their brownstone.

Was right about the time

those documents went missing.

My mom let me access the trust.

Why all of a sudden?

Just said she wanted us
to be able to buy

our forever home.

14 years ago,

a Reddit post claimed

that someone at Jacobson Moore
hid documents.

I know what the document is

and when it was stolen

and who did it.
Okay. Who?

Your ex-husband

Julian.

EDWIN: Finally.
You forget your key?

Huh?

So, what, you looked
at my picture every morning

and then came to work
and smiled to my face?

Olympia, our friendship...

I did, yes.

A vipers' nest.

Isn't that what you called
Jacobson Moore?

I'm looking at the viper.

No.

You're looking at a mother
who lost her child

and is demanding justice.

You wanted to see the evidence?

Now you've seen it.

A study was hidden

that would have taken opioids
off the market years earlier.

And the day it was stolen,

Senior sent that email

from Australia saying,
"It's handled."

Great! Mystery solved, Columbo.

Senior was behind it.
I agree.

He likely gave the order.

But he didn't take

the documents
and remove them physically.

Not from Australia.

Okay, so then he told
someone else to do it.

There are, what, 234 lawyers

in the New York office alone?

And Senior is gonna ask
one of them

instead of his own son?

[sighs]

Julian worked on Wellbrexa.

He was the only one
unaccounted for

during the fire drill
when it was taken.

And he would never steal
a document from discovery.

Olympia...
Matty.

Look at the evidence.

I did. And it's entirely
circumstantial.

And if you can't see that,

you're not the lawyer
I thought you were.

There are a whole lot of people

behind bars based
on circumstantial evidence.

And you know that because you're

exactly the kind of lawyer
I think you are.

And yet you sat
in that room all night.

Because you don't have
hard evidence.

And you know
the minute you accuse

one of the top firms
in the world

of criminal behavior,

you lose control
of the narrative.

Jacobson Moore gets
an army of attorneys

to bury this. And you.

Then help me follow the money.
For your kids.

And when all of this comes out,

I'll make it clear
that their mom was a hero.

While their dad sits in jail.

I thought you said
he wasn't guilty.

Playing out your scenario.

If I prove
that Julian got a payout

and used it to buy
your brownstone, then, yes,

he's definitely going to jail.

And if I prove that money
came from his trust,

you pivot away from Julian.

That doesn't exonerate him.

Raises reasonable doubt.

Agreed. Let a jury decide.

Not the most attractive offer.

Then make me a counter.

If that money came from Julian's
trust, you give me time

to prove Senior acted
without him.

One month.

And you leave
the law firm immediately.

Can't give up my foothold
until this is done.

That's my nonnegotiable.

And I can't work with you.
That's mine.

So we're both incentivized
to wrap this up quickly.

Mutually aligned interests.
Perfect.

I'll check and see
if I still have access

to Julian's online banking.

Do it now.
Here's your computer.

OLYMPIA:
What are you doing? Ah!

I heard you were coming back
and burning the midnight oil,

so I thought I'd get you
a cup of coffee.

It was just
a friendly gesture.

? ?

Look away.

I can try a few others.

No.

You've only got
two more attempts

until the bank sends
out a security alert.

Go do some research,

try to figure out

what passwords
Julian's used recently.

And don't access his account
until I'm with you.

Why? You don't trust me?

Do you trust me?

I'm going to sleep.

I'll be at work
tomorrow at 9:00.

You can resume hovering then.

Well, I really wish you wouldn't
have given Olympia more time.

We don't want this thing
to stretch out any longer.

It won't.

The money's going
to lead to Julian.

And Olympia just has
to see that for herself,

and when she does,
she'll do the right thing.

A vipers' nest.

Isn't that what you called
Jacobson Moore?

OLYMPIA:
Senior was behind it.

If that money came

from Julian's trust,
you give me time

to prove Senior acted without...

There you are.

We need to talk.

Now?
After you.

Hey. So, listen,

I know you're upset with me
about the Buckley divorce...

This is not about
the Buckleys.

Oh.

Is everything okay?

No. Not really.

ALL:
Surprise!

[laughs]

[whooping]

Congrats, kid.
You made partner!

Whoo!

Well, today is gonna suck.

Hey now, spread some of
that sunshine my way.

It's true.

Olympia is going
to have to kiss ass

because of the Buckley case,

and I just ended things
with Kira last night

and I'm sad and I don't want
to talk about it.

Got it. No problem.

I just said, "Kira,

I like you too much
to watch you date other people."

End of story.
Well done.

And then she said,

"Is there anything I can do
to change your mind?"

And I said no.
Good for you.

- Right?
- Yeah.

But then she put on
Billie Eilish

and pulled up a chair
and put up her hair.

Okay, now.
But I still said no.

After.

Oh, Sarah.

Where are you with Simone?

I'm just gonna be
straightforward.

I'm gonna make it clear I only
want casual. Nothing more.

[gasps]
Can I tell her? No.

Can I watch you do it?

Okay, fine. Just make sure
you bring holy water

in case you make the devil mad.
[phone buzzes]

[gasps]
It's my client Dino.

He's the sweetest.
You're my assistant.

Uh...

Sarah Franklin's office.

One moment for Ms. Franklin.

Sarah speaking.

Whoa, whoa, slow down, Dino.

What about the cease and desist?
[huffs]

Oh, hey.
Hey.

Since we didn't get
to have dinner,

I thought
I'd bring you breakfast.

Oh, um...

Uh-oh. You're not
a croissant guy? No, no, no.

This is so nice.

But I was actually going
to find you to talk.

I just got out of a
long-term relationship.

And I can't handle anything
more than casual right now.

So we can only meet
in the closet?

No food allowed?

No, I just wanted to make sure
we were on the same page.

Is this because of Sarah?

No, this has nothing
to do with her.

[phone buzzes]

[sighs] Because I know
she's been poisoning the well.

Look, she's not
a good person, Billy. Simone, yes, she is.

She might not always show it,
or act like it, but she is.

Did you know that she was
snooping around my office

and told Olympia
that Julian signed Optireon?

Actually, that was me.
What?

We were trying to figure
out what was going on.

I got kicked off that case!

I'm sorry, I didn't know
that was gonna happen.

If I did...
[phone buzzes]

Save it.
Simone...

You two deserve each other.

Hold on.

Sarah, what is going on
that you couldn't wait five...?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down.

O-Okay, okay,
I'll be right there.

[elevator bell chimes]

OLYMPIA:
Okay. What is going on here?

We're celebrating
- your partnership. - Uh-huh.

You should really have some
champagne. It's the good stuff.

It's also 9:00 a.m.

And how did this even happen?
I just went against the firm.

I guess things came
- to a head after the Buckleys. - Uh-huh.

And the board pressed Senior
to fire you, but instead...

[laughing]
I'll, uh, let him tell you.

Oh, the look on your face
when you walked in.

Oh.
Had Joanie video it.

Gonna make my first meme.

Oh.
[chuckles softly]

So what changed?

Because two nights ago
you unloaded on me,

and I hadn't heard
some of those words before.

Colorful language,
I think they call it.

An HR violation-
they call it that, too.

Oh, threatening me
with a complaint

on the day you make partner?

That's why you got
the job, kid.

Oh, you want someone
that holds you accountable?

I want someone who isn't
afraid to swim upstream.

Break a few rules.

What kind of rules?

Those within the legal limit,
which you do well

because you're
an excellent lawyer.

Didn't want to risk

losing you to another firm,
and that's the damn truth.

Well, I really appreciate that.

Mm.

What happens to Julian?

Well, that's the hard part.
He's in a meeting.

I-I'll tell him after.

Someone had to win,

someone had to lose.

Congratulations.

You now have a stake
in everything that happens

at Jacobson Moore.

BILLY:
What's wrong?

SARAH: Oh, good, you're here.
You said it was an emergency.

It is, yes, definitely.
I'm just prepping my client

before I call the police and
lose control of the situation.

BILLY:
What situation? Getting to it.

This is Dino.
Dino, this is Billy.

Uh, hello.

Were you in some
kind of fight?

"Altercation." Yes, he was.

Which is part of the problem.
What problem?

That problem.

And I just want to
make it very clear,

my client Dino did not kill
his partner Rob.

Oh, my God, Sarah.
I know. Stay calm.

I promise, Rob was alive

after our fight.
Uh, "altercation."

Remember? Not "fight."
Right.

I'm just upset
because I-I know this looks bad.

- Yeah?
- That's why I called Sarah,

to make sure I don't go to jail
for something I didn't do.

And I called you
to double-check my work so things don't escalate.

Legally speaking.

Tell Billy what happened.

Rob came in this morning,

he was very upset...
DINO: Yeah,

holding that hardcore letter
you wrote.

That really set him off.

Is that...?
There is blood on it, yes.

DINO:
Anyway, Rob was pissed.

He came in all hot,
we-we got into it.

Scuffled, you know...
Uh, Rob punched you first.

Make it clear that
he started the fight.

- "Altercation." Exactly.
- Mm-hmm.

He did. And-and, yeah,
I fought him back,

but he was totally fine
when I left.

I can't believe he's dead.

Oh, God.
We're thinking

he must have slipped
after, hit his head?

- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm?

- A word?
- Mm-hmm.

[clears throat]

When the cops come, he should
say absolutely nothing.

Then they'll definitely
arrest him.

This looks really bad.

Then he should say
next to nothing.

You have to call
the police now.

On it.

And then you have
another call to make.

Could you do it?

[Olympia groans]

Okay. That's three tries.

You're gonna have to get
Julian's password another way.

Stop talking.

Morning.

Morning.

Uh, could I have her
for a moment?

Of course.

Thank you.

I'll just be out here waiting.

Oh, you don't have to.

I don't know how long
this is going to take.

Go to your office.
I'll get you when I'm done.

Perfect. Mm.

[laughs softly]

I heard you got partner.

Hmm.
Congratulations.

You talked to your dad?

No, but he called twice.

And, uh, people have been
avoiding me, and there's a trail

of confetti
from the conference room...

Seriously?
No, but there was

confetti, right, and champagne

at 9:00 in the morning?
Yeah.

My dad's been doing that bit
since I was a kid.

[chuckles]
I'm s...

I'm sorry, Julian. It sucks.

It does,
but I'm really happy for you.

You earned this.

You deserve it.
I'm glad the kids get to see

what a boss their mom is.

[chuckles]

? ?

Let's grab coffee?

Don't you have to talk to Matty?

Oh, she's good, she can wait.

Oh.
Come on.

Okay.

[Julian clears throat]

[phone buzzing]

Yeah, hey, Billy,
what's going on?

BILLY:
Hey. MATTY:

Sorry, it's just
a little chaotic here.

I'm trying to find
somewhere quiet.

Is that a siren?
Yeah. I'm in Queens with Sarah.

She has an issue with a new
client- or sort of client.

What? Sarah has a client?

[sighs]
Unfortunately.

Where is he?
Where is my husband?

BILLY: Oh, no.
Who is that?

I'm guessing it's the wife
of the dead guy. No! Rob!

There's a dead guy?

Billy, I need to know
exactly what's happened,

and I need you to start
from the beginning. Oh, my God, no!

[crying]:
You, you finally did it.

You finally
killed Rob.

Tina...

I hope you're happy.

You did it. You killed him.

He's gone.

She's clearly distraught.

Agreed.

Mr. Coletti, I would love
you to describe exactly

what physical actions
you took toward the victim

in this so-called altercation.

Don't say anything.

He told you, Rob was
alive when he left.

And I'm trying to understand
how come he's not anymore.

And I'm just trying
to protect his rights.

Got a card?

Why? Is my client
being arrested?

Not yet, but the day is young.

We got blood over here
on the edge of the ring.

That's obviously where Rob
must have bonked his head

when he slipped.
"Bonked"?

You learn that term
in law school?

[stammers, sighs]

Yeah, I think that could be

the point of impact from
where your client delivered

a TKO.

Holy doughnuts.

This letter is terrifying.

What are you,
Batman's sidekick?

It's barbed
where it needs to be.

It's also evidence
that your little business issue

was way worse than your client
made it out to be.

Sir, please place your hands
behind your back. What's going on now, Billy?

You're gonna be okay.
You're under arrest...

We will meet you at court.

...anything you say
can and will be used

against you in a court
of law. You have the right to an attorney,

though I can see you already
got that one covered.

If you cannot afford
an attorney...

MATTY:
Billy?

Yeah, we're gonna need you
to get Olympia

and meet us at criminal court.

How could you take a case
behind my back?

I'm sorry.
It's completely against firm rules.

I could fire you for this.

Especially now that I'm partner.

SARAH:Oh, my God, you made
partner? I-I'm sorry.

It was just supposed to
be a cease and desist.

Okay, a public defender
is assigned

to every arraignment shift.

I'll hand off this case to them,

then I'll decide
what happens to you.

This is bad.

It's really bad.

All you can do is apologize
for being overeager.

And stupid.
Agreed.

And stupid.

So stupid.

[groans]

What in the world
was she thinking?

I mean, she-she knows better
than to take on a client.

Well, ever since I got
to represent Autry,

she's been spiraling a little.

I guess she wanted
the experience.

Matty?

[drawer closes]
Oh! I thought you were, uh,

interviewing Autry with Sarah.

Why are you going
through my desk?

I just wanted to see
what the view was like

behind the desk of a young man
about to argue his first case.

I-I thought you gave
the case to Sarah.

ABBOT:
The People v. Dino Coletti.

Brandon Dewey
for the prosecution.

Olympia Lawrence
for the defense,

though we are requesting
a transfer

to the public defender.

DINO:
Wait, what?

Why?
ABBOT: Yes, why?

Where is Sarah Franklin
from Jacobson Moore?

She held herself out
as the defendant's lawyer

at the scene of the crime.

She didn't mean to,
Your Honor.

That was an accident.

I'm not sure
how invoking

his Fifth Amendment rights

can be an accident.

Or handing over this card
to the lead detective.

Or writing this
incredibly acerbic letter

that was found
at the scene.

I understand
mistakes were made.

ABBOT:Apparently. But
seeing as how

you both are employed
at one of the wealthiest firms

in the city, I
will certainly not

be adding your mistake

to the public
defender's workload.

Ms. Franklin took
the case originally.

She's the attorney.

The charge is
manslaughter two.

How does Mr. Coletti plead?

Oh.

Uh... Only got two choices,

Ms. Franklin.
Not guilty, Your Honor.

Very well. Mr. Dewey,

are you requesting bail
or remand?

The state is happy
with setting bail

at $250,000.

That's ridiculous.

Uh, Mr. Pascaleri
was the aggressor.

Our client went for a walk
after their altercation

while Mr. Pascaleri
was yelling for more.

At worst, this is a case
of misdemeanor assault,

and bail should be set as such.

I tend to agree.

Bail set at $20,000.

But from now on,

I want to hear from you,
Ms. Franklin.

You took the case, you argue it.

Understood?
Yes, Your Honor.

MATTY: Wowee, you really threw
the whole thesaurus at this,

didn't you, darling?
Can we not, with the letter?

It's gonna be okay.

And we're gonna
get you through this.

I just wanted experience.

[door opens]

Olympia, I am so sorry. I...

What were you thinking?

I-I was...
No. That was rhetorical.

I am going to assume
that you weren't thinking.

I am sure you heard the
judge: you got us into this,

you're going to do the
work to get us out of it.

Of course.
Shh. You need to draft

a plea memorandum
aiming towards

misdemeanor assault.

Which means
you need to minimize

Dino's participation
in the fight

and find multiple
character witnesses

who can stipulate that Dino

never would have
intended to hurt Rob.

And however aggressive you were
in your little letter,

do the opposite here.

Do you understand?

And please respond
without speaking.

Go. Now. Work.

And you, her coconspirator.

What?

Look me in the
eye and tell me

today was the first time you
found out Sarah had a client.

Exactly.

You're in it with her.

By 9:00 a.m.
tomorrow morning,

that plea memorandum
better be on my desk.

[sighs]

You're not really gonna
fire Sarah, are you?

Oh, my inner thoughts
are no longer your privilege.

Look, I have a plan to get
Julian's bank password.

I'll use the kids' 529

education account as an excuse.

He's free in an hour.
No.

Don't go then.

Free is focused.

You want to catch him a couple
of minutes before a big meeting,

when he's preoccupied.

And don't ask outright.

Come at him from a side angle
so he's spun around.

MATTY:
Not to get too personal,

I went to my doctor,

and she said I have
acute presbyopia.

Makes my vision blurry.
And then she said

"less screens," which is
sort of like saying "less air."

Do you need my signature
to get in the documents room?

Tricks of the trade?

I wasn't like this
before your firm protected

the pharmaceutical company
that killed my daughter.

Julian has a big deposition
at 5:00.

I'll approach him then.
From a side angle.

Any other suggestions?

You want him really distracted.

So aim where he's tender.

Hey. I know you have a meeting,
but I'm running out,

so two really
quick things. Mm-hmm.

One, now that I'm partner,

I wanted to make sure that
my banking was set up right,

and for some reason

it looks like I'm
off the kids' 529?

And two, your dad's an ass.

[chuckles] Yeah.

I mean it.

You are a great son.

And he is a terrible father.

And that is not your fault.

I'm sorry, I know you
have a deposition.

No, I'm canceling it.

You're right.
[deep breath]

[voice breaking]:
Why should I work late on the day

that my dad
passed me over for a job

that he made me want
in the first place?

I'm sorry, I-I don't know why
I'm so emotional.

[sniffles]

I just can't tell you
how much I...

I needed to hear you
say that.

Oh, of course.

It's true.

I-I just... kind of feel
like an idiot, you know?

I've been chasing
the approval of a man who...

will never
give it to me. [sighs]

Well, he is your family.

No. When I think of family,

I think of you and the kids.

Anyway, means a lot,
that's all.

Let's check out this 529.
[typing]

[sighs]

Oh, weird, you are off it.

Uh, okay, let me fix that.

[typing]

MATTY:
Okay, so you didn't get the password.

Well, you can't ask him
about banking again.

He'll get suspicious,

so you have to get
the information a different way.

How's your relationship
with Julian's mom?

We never talk much about her.

How do you just use people

like they don't matter?

They do matter. Very much.

And I did it the same way
you just did.

[scoffs]
As carefully as I could.

I tried really hard
not to hurt people.

And yet you did.

When I had no other choice.

Oh, you had plenty
of choices, Matty.

Let me know if you want
to go through Julian's mom

for the financial information.

Or we can part ways right here.

I'll send my research
to The New York Times,

tell 'em my theory,

and have them sort through it.

Your choice.

So you think Olympia will
go through Julian's mom?

Oh, definitely.

I mean, she wants
the information.

And she's starting to see that
things aren't black and white

and that what I had to do
was hard and complicated.

What?

Well, you don't think she's
gonna forgive you, do you?

Oh, no, Edwin, I'm not a fool.

That's a bridge too far.

I just want her to see
that two things can be true.

That I cared for her
and I hurt her.

I can understand that.

Oh, can you, now?

Is everything okay, darling?

You know when you said that
Bitsy would be my guardian

if anything were
to happen to you?

Well, after that, I got worried.

Oh.
Darling, you don't need to be.

EDWIN:
At all.

We're in great health.

If we weren't, we couldn't
have done this whole thing,

for sure.
[chuckles]

And we did it.
I mean, can you believe it?

I mean, from where we started?
EDWIN: Yeah.

MATTY:
I'm doing it.

We're doing it.

Mom would be so proud.

MWBSP.

Okay, what's going on
with you two?

I want to move forward.

Figure out if
one of those lawyers

hid documents from Wellbrexa.

We actually solved it.

[laughs]
EDWIN: We sure did.

MWBSP.

Um, no, that's...
See, that's kind of our thing.

MATTY:
You can't say that. What?

[laughter]
Aw.

Did you believe Alfie
when he said he felt better?

Oh, not even
a little bit. Mm.

But I know why he's worried.
We are old.

Well, stop
sweet-talking me, baby.

You're not
getting laid tonight.

[laughs]
We'll get full physicals

back in San Francisco.

Oh, I talked
to Sandy today.

Terrific.
Who's Sandy?

Our Realtor.

We got to talk about putting
this house on the market.

Already?

Well, it's not
gonna sell overnight.

We got to get
the ball rolling.

She wants to do
a walk-through,

so you'll have to
take down the crime board.

It distracts
from the "old world charm."

Whoa, slow down.

I don't want to.

I'm ready to get back
to our life, Madeline.

I know you are.

And don't worry.

I know you will go
out of your mind

if you just go back
and sit at home.

So I've been
making a list.

All those things that we've been
putting off that we want to do.

Let's do 'em.
[chuckles]

Here we go.
Learn Italian.

Take a cooking class.
Garden.

Maybe take a course at Stanford
on the Middle Ages.

Uh, okay, no course
on the Middle Ages.

So, whatever else
you're interested in.

[phone buzzes]

Is everything okay?

Yeah, it's, uh, Sarah.

She wants me to look
at her plea memo.

Now?

I'm the reason she's in
this mess, Edwin.

I took her first case
away from her

and gave it to Billy
so I wouldn't get caught.

So I have to help her recover.

Right. Well, at least
you're almost done.

? ?

[printer whirring]

MATTY:
If I seem a little nervous, I am.

Greg was a big shot lawyer
when I was just starting out,

and he, well, without getting
into too much detail,

he crossed a line.

And then I made decisions like

don't focus on litigation.

Because that's what Greg
specialized in.

ATTORNEY:
How could anyone testify

with clarity to
a conversation

that happened
26 years ago?

If the friend taped
the call, that'd be okay.

If a friend taped the call,
we'd admit it.

MATTY:
Well, here's the thing.

Papa Cristo
didn't call a friend.

He called 911.

So, we'll go ahead
and admit that into evidence?

So Autry heard the scream

32 minutes before he saw Michael
standing over the body.

And Jimmy said
he heard the scream

and called right away.

According to Autry,
that's not true.

But I actually think we should
call in the tenant

they didn't have testify.

The appellate attorney's notes
said the detective

put little stars next to
three tenants in the building:

two they called in
and tenant 6C.

And why leave one off the stand?

Unless it didn't
serve their case.

Exactly. Which means
it could serve ours.

[printer whirring]

? ?

Matty proofed it last night,

so you're not gonna
find mistakes.

- Should I stop?
- No way.

I need it to be perfect
so Olympia forgives me.

Us. I've been sentenced
to the same doghouse as you.

I know, okay? I'm sorry.

And I promise
I'll make it up to you.

But do you think
she's going to fire me?

Of course.
What?!

Sorry, sorry, I was just
looking at my phone.

Of course
Claudia just texted me.

And I got two missed calls
last night.

It's like she can smell
that I'm single.

Really?
We're talking about your ex

when my career is on the line?

And mine!

Because of what you did.

And you just promised
that you'd make it up to me.

Okay, tell me everything.

When was the last time
you saw Claudia? February?

Little more recent.

We've been occasionally
hooking up,

when we both felt nostalgic
at the same time.

You are a weak creature, Billy.

Again,

you're not allowed
to disparage me

when I'm sitting in this
doghouse of your construction.

Just promise me
you won't call her back, okay?

I'm not going to.

Mm-hmm.
The more I was thinking about it,

the more I realized...

I need to be single for a while.

Hmm.
I've been this people pleaser

for so long,
I've never lived for myself,

and that's what
this summer is about

for me.

Hot Billy Summer.

[chuckles thinly]

You're dying right now,
aren't you?

Bleeding out on the gurney.

But not because I don't
support selfish, single Billy.

It's just, again, my job.

Again, our job.

The plea memo's good.
Olympia's gonna love it.

Too flowery.
Just the facts.

Oh, that's unclear.
Revise it.

Copy that, I'll fix it right up.

But overall, satisfactory.

MATTY:
Sorry to interrupt,

but the autopsy results are in,
it's good news.

Rob didn't die
from that head wound.

What? How did he die?

Burst appendix.

[gasps]

You lucked out.

[relieved laugh]
[phone buzzes]

It's A.D.A. Dewey.

Well, he probably got
the results, too.

Should I have Billy answer
and pretend to be my assistant?

Girl.

It's Sarah speaking.

It's A.D.A. Dewey.
You got a second?

Of course. I'm here
with my team. [chuckles]

A team. Th-The team.

Assume you're calling
because of the autopsy?

Ready to dismiss
those charges?

Yeah, I would, uh,
check your email.

SARAH:
Oh. Okay. Pulling it up.

DEWEY:
Great.

Because of ongoing tensions
between your client

and the deceased,

Rob's wife hid cameras
around the office.

[grunting]

[all gasp]

That punch clearly caused
his burst appendix.

Wait, that's not
necessarily true.

Dino's a boxer.
He knew where to aim.

And, oh, did you know

that in the case of death,
he gets the gym?

That's motive right there.

What? That's ridiculous.

Argue it in trial.

We're moving to revoke bail.

And we're charging your client

with manslaughter one.

Mm.

I can't believe it. They
think that punch killed him?

And I did it on purpose?
You were in a fight,

you're a boxer, and apparently,

if one of you dies,
the other gets the gym,

which, to the D.A.'s office,
is motive.

For murder?

Robby and I made that deal

when we first went in
together 20 years ago.

I just...

I can't believe this happened.

That he's dead,
that they think I did it.

Robby was like my brother.

I miss him.

I mean, I hated him lately,
but I miss him.

Two things can be true.

I was just frustrated because
he was lying all the time.

What a betrayal.

Lying about what?

About everything.

He bought into this
supplement company

and started pushing it
on all our clients.

He made them feel uncomfortable,
so I told him not to.

He said he would stop,

but he didn't.

Then I started seeing
other things in our books-

overcharging clients,
stuff like that.

So I confronted him,
he denied it.

Tried to talk to Tina,

she said maybe I was the
one that was stealing.

Must be why she put
up the cameras.

Yeah, exactly.

And then,
when you sent that letter,

man, that just put Rob

over the edge,
he was ready to blow.

Okay. So you lean into that.

We have to go
with self-defense.

Rob read Sarah's
totally-over-the-top,

completely inappropriate letter,

came in, head
full of steam,

Dino was upset and scared.

Scared, come-
[Sarah clears throat]

Yeah, I was scared.

Had Rob threatened you before?

No. But I've been avoiding him.

Ask our receptionist, Kelsey.
She was our go-between.

I'm sure she got an earful.

KELSEY:
Oh, yeah, Rob hated Dino.

Every day, he would go off
about how angry he was

at that
"piece of you know what."

Interesting.

Kelsey, did you ever feel
unsafe working here?

Why? Because I'm so pretty
and there are

a lot of men around? No.

I lift, I carry Mace,

and with these nails
I could pluck out an eyeball

and juice it for breakfast.

Cool.

But was Rob,
specifically, aggressive?

Like, did you ever think

you might have
to juice his eyeballs?

OMG, no way, he was a sweetie.
Just way too stressed.

[printer whirring]

Okey dokey. Here is
the list of his clients.

Perfect.
Hang on.

Anyone not on that list?

Former clients who
stopped coming suddenly?

Oh, good question.

Yes. One, but it's
probably not relevant.

Just in case.

Kevin Miglovich. He trained
three times a week for years

and then a few months ago,
he just peaced out.

Do you still have his info?

Hi, Kelsey.

Hi, Tina.

This is Sarah and Billy.

You're Dino's lawyer.

KELSEY:
She wanted some of Rob's stuff,

and I thought it was best

for you to be here
when I give it to her.

Brb.

- We're so sorry for your loss.
- Really?

Then why are you representing
my husband's murderer?

Because it wasn't a murder.

It was an accident.
[scoffs] Right.

And now he "accidentally"
gets the gym

after Dino accused Robby
of stealing?

Do you know he actually threw up
when he read your letter?

Vomited. That is how upset
those accusations made him.

He would never steal.

Ever.
KELSEY: Here you go.

It's a little heavy 'cause
there's a kettlebell in there

that Rob really loved.

Thanks, Kelsey, but that is
not all his stuff.

He's got a bunch of papers
in his office.

And-and unfortunately,

we can't let you take them
as they are Dino's property.

I'll see you out.

[door opens]

[door closes]

What you working on?
Just homework.

Is Olympia doing it?
Yeah.

Julian's mom should be
arriving any second.

He said she gave him access
to his trust fund

to buy that brownstone,

so Olympia's gonna find out
if that's true.

OLYMPIA:
Lila.

Am I smushing you?
Oh, yeah.

That's good.
[laughs]

I can't tell you how happy
I was that you called. Mm.

I thought I might have
lost you in the divorce.

Never.
Oh, good because you're the only one

that makes those family
reunions palatable.

[sighs] So, I really still
have to go to those?

Even though the ink is dry?

For the kids.

Part of the whole
"putting them first" thing.

Senior never got that memo.

No, I know.
I heard. What a dick.

How's Julian?

Hurt.
I'll bet.

I spent a good part of my life

trying to protect
that kid from his father.

You did a lot.

Instilled morals or I
wouldn't have married him.

Nah. I'm a hypocrite.

Shouting "Don't get sucked in"
from inside

my fancy apartment
that Senior paid for.

Should have shut the door on
that man when I had the chance

and whisked Julian off to...

Where?

Narnia.

[chuckles]

Anywhere.

Just away from Senior

and the money he holds
over all our heads.

You're a hard guy
to get a hold of. JULIAN: Nope.

Just, uh, avoiding you.

I assume you've heard?

That I was
passed over for partner?

And that you personally
made the call? Yeah.

Should've told me on family day.
In your bunny costume.

[chuckles softly]
You're upset.

Oh, just at myself.

For actually expecting you
not to screw me over.

[laughs] Oh, come on now-
No, I'm serious.

It's your passion.

Maybe because you resent

the fact that I grew up
with your money,

maybe because you hate my mom,

uh...
Let me know when you're through.

I'm through.

We're through.

Because I didn't choose you?
Because you never will.

You want to know the reason?

That's it.

You've got
a victim mentality, kid.

Hmm.
Probably 'cause your mom

wiped your rear end too long.
[laughs]

What a waste.

All that time I spent
looking up to you.

I can't wait to get out of here.
I feel free.

Oh, you'll be back.

Soon as you need something.

Probably money.

Oh, and in the meantime...

...make your own way, son.

Fly.

LILA:
Go! Go!

[both giggling]
Go!

Change for bed
and I will come read to you.

Good night.
They're getting too tall.

I agree. Who should I call?
How can I stop it?

Ugh!

Damn it!
Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine, I got it.
Okay.

Oh, I swear, I'm gonna wreck
this place before we sell it.

Thank you. I'll
hold the dustpan. Yeah.

I remember when we first
saw this brownstone.

We didn't think we could
afford it. [chuckles softly]

Senior wouldn't let Julian
have access to his trust.

Let me guess, he demanded
a pound of flesh.

Have you found a new place yet?

For after we sell
the brownstone?

I remember when we bought it.

You came into money.

Well, I didn't come into money.

My... mom let me
access the trust.

What did it take to get him
to change his mind?

I don't remember.

Oh, I think
maybe you were the one

who came through for us, actually.

You let Julian access
a different trust early?

Did I?

Good.

[laughing]:
You know me, I don't...

I don't pay attention
to things like that.

I just go with "yes."

And I love you for that.
Yeah.

You know, I got to do
something nice for the kids.

[sighs]
Get them a Roger.

Huh?

Wasn't that the dog you got
Julian after the divorce? Roger?

Oh, ha. No. Steve.
That was Steve.

Yeah.
[gasps] Steve.

That dog really helped.

Yeah. Get a dog for sure.

Yes to the dog.
Yes.

Change is on the horizon.

MATTY:
Wait.

What?
OLYMPIA: You heard me.

I could not get confirmation
that Julian's mom gave him

access to the trust,
but I got something better.

The answer to the only security
question I wasn't sure about.

Sorry, what security question?

The ones they ask at the bank.

First address- easy,
mother's maiden name- got it.

First pet- Steve.

So I'm going to the bank.
What?

And I'm going
to Matty Matlock my way in

and follow the money,
like you said.

Oh, wow. Okay.

Uh, and I... I don't want
to talk you out of it.

Then don't.

I do need to point out
that it's bank fraud.

And you will be involved
in the plan,

which means if I go down,
you go down.

That's how we trust each other.
Mutually assured destruction.

So, what changed?

Nothing.
I'm protecting my children.

And I hope to God
their father is not a bad man.

But if he is, I'm taking
the kids to Narnia.

I'm not gonna look away.

Stop smiling.

[chuckling]:
I'm not.

There are three bankers

who managed our accounts.

Two old stodgy guys. And Denise.

We'll go through her.

Are you in?

Yes. I am in.

[keyboard clicking]

Edwin!

Alfie!

Get in here!

What is going on?

Something's changed.

I don't know what,
I don't know how, but it did.

Olympia's on our side now.

She's gonna help us
bring this home.

Can you believe it?

Yes!
