You know what's going on here?

About my father
raping secretaries?

Yes.

I want you to find
out if there are any more

women that he's raped
in the firm, in the world.

I want to know everything,
so don't bury it.

I heard they fire half of us
in the first month.

Oh, yeah, yeah,
I heard that, too.

We should stick together.

Uh, I'm Lili.
Maia.

They're calling
it the Great Chicago Flood.

Eight inches of rain
in the next 48 hours

will mean this is
the wettest May ever.

And with a cold snap
on the horizon,

we could see a sudden drop
in temperatures

and several freak incidents...

Look, there was a large
puddle in front of the store.

With bad drainage.

I-It was their fault!

Are you paying attention?

Why are you asking me
to repeat this again?

Because I'm taking
careful notes, Brian.

That's what we do here
at Consult a Lawyer.

Listen to me, it's their fault!

Well, say that again so I can
take my careful notes.

Your commercial...

Maia, I have a very important
legal emergency on line three.

Doesn't sound
like you're caring.

I got two pickles today.
Want one?

Is it sweet?
Nope.

Thank you.

Did you see the new guy
in cubicle 784?

He's from our old job.

You're kidding,
from Lockhart/Deckler?

Yeah. Roger.
He got fired four months ago.

Said there were only two
people left from our class.

They should have T-shirts
made up for us.

Yeah. Hmm.

They'll all die of heart attacks
and we'll live forever.

I'm sorry, Brian,
you were saying?

Listen to me....
Mm-hmm.

Your commercial led me
to believe that you care.

I'm telling you,
it's their fault.

Are you listening?

Oh, my God.

Put that down. Let's go.

Excuse me?

Put down the headset, come on.
This place gives me the creeps.

What do you want, Blum?

I want you to come with me.
Did I not make that clear?

I got a job.
You got me fired.

Yes, and that was
five weeks ago.

Now I want to give you a job.
Keep up.

What job?

What does it matter?

Exactly. My job is not
in this shithole.

I'm counting to three.

I'll take it.

I'll take it.

No, I'm here now.

Yes. Yes.

Wow. Hail.
Next there'll be frogs.

No, I think this is right.

Okay. I'll call you back.

Okay, that was Neil.
We have agreed on a plan.

We want to keep working
with your firm.

Good. Uh, we want
that, too.

You're not the biggest
in Chicago,

but we appreciate
your diversity.

Unfortunately, we are living
in a #MeToo world,

and Chumhum has zero tolerance
for sexual coercion these days.

Uh, my father died
two years ago, Ms. Lamore,

and we have addressed
that issue with his victims.

Yes, but you're planning
on going public

with these offenses,
and your bad PR will be ours.

So what do you want us to do?
We want the firm

to finance an investigation on
how it handled these incidents.

This is Brenda Decarlo.
She is a lawyer

specializing in issues
on sexual impropriety.

She investigated the Olympic
track abuse last year.

Hello.

We want her to have unfettered
access to your firm.

We need to make sure there are
no remaining cultural issues.

What do you mean
"cultural issues"?

An environment that encourages

the culture of fear,
entitlement,

and lack of accountability.

I'm sorry, I know
that's not funny.

I have PBA,

pseudobulbar affect.

These are cards explaining it.

Hmm. Thank you.
Mm-hmm.

Is this investigation
really necessary?

When you go public,
we want to point to a record

giving you a clean
bill of health,

so, yes, if you want to keep us
as a client, it is necessary.

No one's condemning anyone.

We just want to get a read
on the culture here

at Reddick, Boseman, Lockhart.

Now, Ms. Decarlo here will be
pulling you all aside,

asking some questions,
just getting a sense

of how we operate.

You can be as candid with her
as you would be with us.

More, actually.

So I want to say

thank you to you for the best
year this law firm has had.

More clients,
more billable hours.

And that is because of each
and every one of you all.

Thank you.

So what do you think?
God, she's a nut,

but we have a gun
to our head, you know?

Wait, Liz.

What's that?
It's an emergency.

What's the emergency?

I-I don't know.

Are you going?
Yes, are you?

No. I'm done.

Be careful.

No.

What do you mean "no"?

You know, I thought you
were pulling me out of hell,

but I think you're just
dragging me deeper.

Look, I'm months behind
in billing.

There are counsel fee awards
I haven't collected...

You don't need
an attorney for that.

I need someone I can trust.

Someone competent.
Annunciata.

I don't want to be your

office manager, okay?
Or someone relegated to bill collecting.

Well, I don't want that either.

You know, I got Spencer Marsh
coming in tomorrow.

The CEO?
Yup.

Oh, he thinks your father
was a great man.

Ah, my father.

See, that's why you want me.

No, it's 'cause of your
sunny disposition.

Of course that's why I want you.

Or would you rather be liked

or needed? And if you
don't say "needed,"

I'm kicking you
right out of here.

Okay, here's what we need to do.

You need a real office
in a real building in the Loop.

Spencer, he won't even
enter a room like this.

Okay. How much?

What it costs?
Mm-hmm.

I'll work with an initial budget
of 55 grand a month

to get your office
up and running.

No. No, no, no, no.
Way too much.

It's what a real office costs,
you know.

I saw what you charged
Avery Ward. You can afford it.

Oh, you have an evil look
in your eye.

It's what I look like
these days.

$45,000 a month.

That's your budget.
50.

Thank you for calling
Consult a Lawyer.

This is Lili. Please tell me
a little about your issue.

Lili, shut up, it's Maia.
Maia?

What are you doing?

Opening an office.

I need you to quit.

Quit what?
Your job.

Join me at a new firm
I'm forming. I'll pay double.

I have another pickle
from my sandwich.

Do you want me to bring it?

Sure.

Diane.

Where's Liz?

She's not coming.

Why?

She's done.

Do you think it's her?

No, her profile came up clean.

That doesn't mean anything.

We don't know what she could do.

What are you talking about?

"Watch out for traitors.

There are people
who want to stop us."

- Who's that from?
- Valerie.

We asked her how
the hack got stopped.

That's what she wrote back.

"This is my suggestion.

"We need to revert
to fuller measures.

That's the only way to educate
the White House."

What does that mean,
fuller measures?

"I would suggest our first target:

"Michael Tyrek.

"He's the designer
of the border strategy,

"and he's currently
responsible for the death

"of three children
in El Paso cages.

He must be stopped."

I'm sorry, but what,
what are fuller measures?

Swatting him.

Calling 911, telling them

that there's a masked intruder
in Michael Tyrek's house.

Oh, my God.

Giving him some of what he gave

those kids at the border.
Three children died.

One from dehydration,
some from neglect.

That doesn't mean it's right.
I mean, swatting?

Why doesn't it?

Because he could get killed.

Like he killed those kids?

Shh.

Look, I'm not defending Tyrek,

but these tactics
are seriously wrong.

Not according to Valerie.

Okay. That is not
a text from Valerie.

What do you mean?

Valerie is not who
she said she was.

She is a con woman who
started this resistance

so she could take our money.

She is currently in Rikers.

And I have to admit,
I-I made up her first text

because I thought this group
was doing good work,

and I didn't want us to disband.

I'm sorry, what?

I pretended
that Valerie was real,

so we could continue
the resistance.

Then why do I have a text from her?
Because it's not

a text from her.
You made that up.

I had my investigator

check on that number.
It is your number,

and you sent it to yourself.

Hey, hey, hey.
Can I interrupt for a sec?

Valerie warned us that someone
would try to break us up,

and that's what she's doing.

No.
Yes.

She's saying exactly the things

to get us to distrust ourselves.

I agree. We're not
the enemies here.

The enemy is Michael Tyrek.
Diane,

at the very minimum,
what you're admitting

is that you lied.
Why do we trust you now?

If I have evidence...

If you have evidence,
let's see it.

Fine.

Hey, Jay.

Do you still have that material
on Valerie Underwood?

The con woman in Rikers?
Yes.

Can you get me
the research on her?

Sure. I'll put it on your desk.

Good, and if you have
a mug shot,

that would be,
that would be helpful.

- Yeah, no problem.
- Today is about transparency

and honesty in a safe space,

and I just want you to know,

none of what we say here
is gonna go any further.

This is just for my edification.

All right, so let's do
our first question.

Do any of you have any knowledge
of other employees

who were subject
to sexual coercion

by Carl Reddick or any coworker?

Okay.

This is
a bit broader question now.

Have any of you been harassed
by anyone at this firm?

Well, are-are we
only talking sex?

Not necessarily. Why?

Well, I mean, it's not sexual,

but this firm definitely has
a lot of racial issues.

Oh, come on, are you kidding me?

No, I'm not. What would you describe it as?
Okay, I don't think

that's what the report is about.

She asked the question.
So you want us to just shut up?

Isn't that part of the problem?

Okay, wait, l-let's go back.

What are the racial issues
you're talking about?

You were paid. All of you
associates got money.

Because they're trying
to pay us off.

The partners want us to shut up.
Exactly.

That's why they gave us the bonuses.
That was the agreement.

Uh, okay, so why were you paid?

We were paid one-time bonuses.
To shut us up.

Okay, so let's talk about that.

Thank you.

Wow. I like the smell.

I do, too.

If you like it, I'd snap it up.

I have a start-up circling.

Does it come with the furniture?

It can. I'll need
a six-month commitment.

When can we move in?

You sign the papers,
you could be in today.

How tall are you?
Me? Six foot.

You should be my secretary.
I need a secretary.

Let me think about it.

Can I feel your arm?
Yes.

I want this place.

Okay. Okay.

We want it.

Look, as a man,

I acknowledge sexual
harassment is a problem.

Oh, thank you. As a man?

We appreciate you
recognizing that.

Oh, my God,
I'm on your side here.

Really? You're on our side?
You're against rape?

Wow. Thank you.

I mean, I-I appreciate it.

I'm just saying there are
other problems here, too.

And what are they?

Number one: men
weren't even considered

to head up Matrimonial Affairs.

Uh, hold on, you're attacking
my department now?

We have two female name partners
who are biased against men.

Ugh, wow, yes, please educate us

about the perils
of the working man.

You're in no place to criticize.

You're basically
stealing Jay's job.

What? I'm not stealing his job.
That's what I'm talking about.

Women have an inside track here.

No, no, no, no, no, no.
That is not a gender thing,

- that is a race thing.
- What about class disparity?

That's right. This place
is divided along racial lines.

No, it isn't. The mail room
didn't see a cent

of the bonuses y'all got.

Yeah, but that's
because of race.

No. You don't
even know my name, do you?

What does that have
to do with this?

When you need our support,
it's black power,

but when we need your support,
you don't even see us.

Oh, okay...
That is absolute truth.

Don't even debate about that.

You got a minute?

Sure.

This investigator is supposed
to interview us all tomorrow.

Okay.

So just be honest.
You'll be fine.

One of her questions was,
"Do you have knowledge

of other victims of
Mr. Reddick's coercion?"

Well, that makes sense.

That folder I gave you,

the investigation
into the other women.

I know, I, uh...

I still haven't read it.

I will.

Uh... in the meantime...

Nothing to Brenda?

For now.

Okay.

Oh, Marissa.

Are there any other copies
of that report?

No.

My notes, but that's it.
Okay.

Good. We'll talk tomorrow.
Thanks.

Liz.
Yeah?

The, uh, investigator
has a question for us.

Yeah.

Uh, just a quick question.
I think it's best

to address this together...
Please. Hi.

Hi.

Is it going well downstairs?

Oh, it's going... fascinating.

Well, that's...

not the word I was expecting.

So, as part of my investigation,

I've perused company e-mails...

Mm.

And it's come to my attention

that I would like
to ask you about

two specific communications.

They were sent...

between you two...

um, and they reference,

uh, an inappropriate
relationship

that it's "best
no one know about."

Simple question.

What's the relationship
you're referencing?

Um...

And a year ago,
you say right there,

um... "It's over.

It was a one-time thing.
No one needs to know."

It's about Carl, clearly.

Yeah.

Right.

Except it was sent three months
after Mr. Reddick's death.

And eight months before,
Ms. Reddick,

you were told about your
father's inappropriate actions.

You know, you know what?

I think, I think this was about

a relationship between two peers

here at the firm.

Good.
Yeah.

Which two peers?

We've agreed
to not divulge their names.

I won't divulge
their names, either.

I just need to know
that it was consensual

between two peers.
I-It was consensual.

Oh.

It was between you two.

Okay.

Hmm.

Uh, it...

It was a moment of weakness.

It was a one-time thing.

Mm-hmm.
I was recuperating

from a gunshot injury.
Liz was there.

Yeah, but as I said,
it was consensual,

and we are both
name partners at the firm.

So... we would like to avoid
any embarrassment

by not including it
in the report.

Agreed.
Yeah.

It doesn't fall under
my original purview.

Good.
Um...

Thank you.
But...

you both testified in court

that there was no sexual...

contact...

between you.

So...

that's...

perjury.

Is perjury part of your mission?

No.

- Not originally.
- So...

then there's no need to pursue it.

Thank you.

Hmm.

Fuck.

Welcome to your office.

I'll show you around.
How much is it?

Doesn't matter.

I already committed you
to six months.

I got to spend six
months in here?

You don't have to spend
six minutes in here, Roland,

but this is your law firm now.

Who's she?

Your head of litigation.

Am I committed to her for six months, too?
Yeah, you are.

Now, this is your office, okay?
That's mine.

And that's Lili's.
Who's Lili?

I-I am.

Who goes into those offices?

I don't know, that's up to you.

Your entourage?

As long as they don't come out
when clients are here.

Okay.

I don't like the smell.

I don't like the decor, the view,

whatever the fuck that is...
That's called a desk.

What's on the desk?
The blotter?

Look...

Clients come to me...

because I keep it personal,
you know?

Unorthodox.

When one of them comes in here,
they're gonna,

they're gonna think
I've gone corporate.

Roland, I've looked over
your billing.

Okay? When was the last time
you looked over your billing?

Is that a trick question?

You've lost $800,000
to your entourage.

Do you know that?

They've stolen it from you.

You've lost five clients
in the last eight months

because they can't
get hold of you.

Now, that is $1.3 million

in yearly billing down the drain

because you can't pick up
the fucking phone.

Don't try and change me.
I'm not.

I will pick up
the phone for you.

I will meet with clients
here when you don't.

You can fucking shoot up
to your heart's content,

but you know...

to do it right, you need money.

This is where
you'll make that money.

I don't have
to set foot in here?

No.

This is where you'll set foot.

You understand me.

No.

But I understand money.

So you're the...
managing partner.

I am.
Have you noticed the desks

on the 22nd floor
are segregated?

African Americans are all

in the northeast bullpen

and the Caucasians are
in the northwest bullpen.

Uh, no.

Wait, what?
The workplace is segregated.

We don't segregate.

Mm-hmm, well, this is a map

of how the associates

and the paralegals are arranged.

Yeah, but we don't do that.

We work on a hot desk system.

The employee chooses
their own desk.

Then they're choosing
segregation?

But that's not us.

That's the employee choosing
where they want to sit.

I have individually interviewed
all of the associates.

And many worry that

you pushed
for Marissa Gold's promotion

because you're sleeping
with her.

Oh!

Are you okay?

- Yes.
- No.

Wait...
wait.

People think I'm sleeping
with Marissa Gold?

Yes.
I'm not.

Um...

on five occasions,
you and Ms. Gold

left the firm together midday
and shared a cab.

But that's...

wait, how did you know that?

Your company credit card.

And Ms. Gold's off-site contact numbers

were the same as yours.
Oh, God.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, okay.

Look.

Marissa was helping me to prepare for...

an off-site job interview.

On five occasions?
Yes.

Look, I haven't told
the other partners yet,

and I would ask that

you keep it private.
Mm-hmm.

But, uh...

I'm gonna be a federal judge.

Mm-hmm.

Hello.
Blum, Rindell & Associates.

How may I help you?

Uh, let me connect you.

It's that one.

Do you know what this is?

Looks important.

It is.

Where was it?
On the floor.

Oh, good.

We're ready to fuck them up, Spencer.

Then why haven't I been able
to get you on the phone?

Because I'm an asshole.

And that's why he has me.

He's the fuck-up.

I'm the killer.
You're really a Rindell?

Raised at his knee.

Taught me everything he knows.

Don't be misled
by her appearance.

She's a Venus flytrap.

Prosecutors think
she's a pushover,

then... whomp.

Okay.

To be honest, I thought
I'd take my business elsewhere.

But you guys do to my enemies what
your father did...

...and I'll make you rich.

Well, that's how we get off.

The tears of our opponents.

This was delivered for Blum.

For Blum?

What the hell?

Oh, they're just fucking with me,
that's all.

It's Reddick/Boseman.

They're an old firm, dying out.

And we're a new firm.
It's just jealousy.

They're getting you disbarred
for suborning perjury.

No, no, no. They're trying
to get me disbarred.

But you can't testify against me

and they don't have
anything else.

Blum, this is a subpoena, okay?

It could be the end
of this firm.

So stop it.

How do I do that?
You know your firm.

Help me fight 'em.

You know, they have a problem
with their founder, Reddick.

He was raping secretaries.

Will you stop making shit up?

I'm not making it up.

You're already in enough trouble
as it is.

Okay? Suborning perjury.

Oh...
Don't compound it.

Oh, my God.

More sinned against than sinning.

Find out for yourself.

Carl Reddick, civil rights icon,

was raping his secretaries.

That's why Reddick/Boseman
is coming after me.

Because I found out.

Two young Guatemalan
children died yesterday

in Border Patrol custody,
causing protests in Washington.

Senior White House consultant
Michael Tyrek,

the mastermind
behind the new familial

self-estrangement border policy,

has continually reiterated that
they do not separate families,

insisting that the parents

can choose
to keep their child with them

in detention or release them
to a government facility.

Do I find the loss of life
at the border regrettable?

Of course I do.

But we did not put
those children there.

Their parents did.

And we will not take the blame
for those children's deaths.

I know what you're thinking.

This is evil, right?

Harming kids is evil.

Especially when
they're as cute as that.

This isn't about cuteness.
It's about an evil policy.

But if you agreed with the
policy, it wouldn't be evil?

No. If this were
about killing children,

it wouldn't matter whether
I agreed with the policy.

Okay, then,
let's talk about abortion.

Oh, my God,
I knew you were gonna go there.

Because it's the obvious place
to go.

In your mind,
a woman's right to choose

trumps the right of the unborn.

In my mind, the integrity of
our borders trumps the lives...

You would prefer to talk
about the unborn because

you don't want to talk about
these two Guatemalan children.

So when do you start caring?

When a child looks like this?

You're confusing matters.
You don't care about these children

on the border because
they don't look like you.

They're not white.

You can't empathize
with them or their parents,

and that allows you to do evil.

Yes, and, by that logic, you
can't empathize with the unborn

because they don't look like you,

and that allows you to do evil.

Are you okay?

Oh. Uh, yeah.
It's just, it's the news.

Oh, God,

I know.

It's awful these days.

Is the Book Club on it?

Yeah.

Good. I mean,
I might be done with them,

but I'm glad
they're out there fighting.

I've come around
to why you lied.

I have decided not to disclose
what was in your investigation.

These six other women haven't
asked to come forward,

and I think we should
respect their privacy.

I could talk to them.
No.

Let's just let it go.

None of them were
in the law firm,

so I don't want it
to become our business.

Okay.

Thank you.

I can't promise they won't
come out on their own.

I know, and we will deal with it
when and if it happens.

Gold!

Friend!

Ah!

Ah, what a good call. I was...
I was in such a bad mood today.

Well, I have been a bad friend.

Okay? I was going
through a terrible time.

Now you're not?

No. No, I'm, uh,

I am starting a firm.

What?
Yeah.

Oh, my God. Congratulations.

You're such a fucking star.

Ah. Old-fashioneds?

Uh-huh. Two each.

To your new firm.
Thank you.

Ah, so good.
Mmm.

What? So where is your office?

It's on Marble.

In the Loop?
Mm-hmm.

How can you afford that?

I have a benefactor.

Well, to benefactors.

I'll take that.

Okay, so, wait, why were
you so unhappy today?

Oh, uh, no reason. I don't,
I don't like when people pretend

to come clean and then just
shove their secrets deeper.

You sound
like you're coming out.

Yeah, wouldn't that be nice?

That would.

I could really try to be gay,
but I think

- I would just laugh too much.
- Oh, you...

No, I think you'd be great.

I could see that.

♪ Miserable past ♪

♪ There must have been
a moment of truth... ♪

No...

No. I...

I like fucking, but I don't like
fucking up friendships.

Same here.

That's why our generation
doesn't fuck as much.

- We, we're too adult.
- Yeah.

Yeah, we take ourselves to the
edge and then we just back up.

Hey, you know what
someone said to me today?

They said that Carl Reddick
raped his secretary.

I told them
they're full of shit.

♪ Nothing comes from nothing... ♪

What, they're not full of shit?

I can't answer that.

Oh, my God.
I said it couldn't be true.

Who told you?

Someone I know.

That's terrible.

Yeah.
You remember him at the firm.

He was like a statue come to
life, like Martin Luther King.

I know.

When was this?

The last ten years.

How many?

His secretary,

the stenographer at work.

And some others outside of work.

I can't believe this.
I can't believe this.

That's why we're
being investigated.

That's why I'm in a bad mood.

Because they want to bury
even more of these rapes.

Wait, stop. N-No, we shouldn't
talk about this anymore.

Why?

I called you because
I really wanted

to see you, Marissa,
because I was happy, okay?

Not because I wanted
to know anything.

Okay. I-I don't understand.

I have to go.
Why?

Because everything that we talk
about from now on,

you're gonna blame me for.

Why would I do that?
'Cause I'm not at your firm.

Right, but why does that matter?

You're gonna hate me.

Just remember: this has
nothing to do with us.

Okay?

I love you.

I wish everything was different.

♪ Some... thing good. ♪

What?

Aw... What's wrong, Maia?

I know something
that will help us.

Well, then-then,
that's good, isn't it?

A friend will interpret it
as betrayal.

Mm.

Is it betrayal?

I don't know.

I've lost track these days.

Well, then tell me.

It is the policy of
ACDB Commission

that disciplinary

and unauthorized practice
of law matters be handled

expeditiously,

with due regard to the
right of the respondent

to have ample time to
prepare his defense.

Mr. Roland Blum, have
you had adequate time?

No. But I don't want
to delay justice,

and I have confidence in this
board to tell my accusers

to crawl back under the
rock from whence they came.

Mr. Cain,

you brought these charges
of suborning perjury?

Yes, Officer Kreutzer, uh,

because we were serving

as cocounsel, we have
actual knowledge

of Mr. Blum putting his
dietician on the witness stand

and representing him to the
court in sworn testimony

as a former insurance
company executive.

Mr. Blum,
how do you respond to the allegations?

"By treason's tooth bare-gnawn

"and canker-bit.
Yet I am as noble

as the adversary
I come to cope withal."

Uh, it would be helpful,
Mr. Blum,

if your responses
were more on point.

What I find particularly galling
is that Julius Cain,

whom I put on my shoulders

and hoisted up to the
Federal Circuit Court bench

sits schtum while
I'm flayed open

by his erstwhile partners'
false allegations.

Why would Reddick/Boseman

be making false allegations?

To impede a lawsuit
they know is coming.

I represent two women, Lydia
Johnson and Sheila Freeman,

both of whom have
suffered sexual trauma

at the hands of Carl Reddick.

Both of whom have had
that trauma

indelibly etched
on their psyches.

Do you have
supporting affidavits?

With my reputation on the line,
you think I'd come without them?

I can't believe he's fighting
a false witness charge

- with two false witnesses.
- Are they?

False?

- What do you mean?
- Liz.

No.

I had Marissa investigate when
I found out about Cynthia.

And she gave me a list of names.

So they're real?

Yeah. Marissa.

I'm sorry, I...

Hi.

You're with Blum?

Yes.

You fucked me over?

Not intentionally.
Oh, my God, I can't believe it.

Marissa, it's not what it seems.
It is.

It always is.

How long have you
been sitting on this?

On what?
Are you kidding me?

Campaigning to be
a federal judge.

Look, I-I didn't think
it was serious at first.

Then it got serious
very quickly.

I didn't want you to think
that I had a split agenda here.

But you did.

No. I didn't do anything

that would undercut
my work here.

Except everything.

I am just as harassed
for being white

as you are for being black.

Yeah, you are just as harassed

by being put on all
those Chumhum cases.

What a terrible burden

you have to endure, Lance.

See? She's always making
fun of my name.

Oh, the horror, the horror.

It's your name.

Lance. What do you want me
to call you?

Okay, we all just need
to cool it, okay?

Everybody here is
harassed in some way.

I'm sorry, in what way
are you being harassed, Marcie?

Cultural appropriation.

That one time you wore
chopsticks in your hair.

I'm not Chinese,
but Michelle is.

Okay,
I'm working in a crazy land.

I'm just saying we all have
to stick to our lanes. Okay?

What's wrong?

Brenda implemented
a new seating plan

to replace the hot desk system.

Oh, yes, she told me.

She believed everyone
was separating

into racial cliques and
she wanted to assign seats.

I said yes.

It's a disaster.

You know, I-I think we
need to talk about Brenda.

I think she's undermining us.

Okay, look...
the associates are professional.

They can live through this
for one more day.

What's that about?

Well, she's suggesting
we integrate the mail room

by hiring three white workers.

But that would mean letting go of

three African-American workers.
We're not doing that.

She said it's essential for
a clean report to Chumhum.

Well, then we're gonna get
a dirty report

because that is insane.

And, um, what about Blum?

All right, we need
to come clean.

We tell the court everything.
We tell Brenda everything.

This is what we should've done

three months ago, you guys.

That's how we get Chumhum
and Blum off our backs.

I agree.

We've read your supporting
papers, Mr. Blum,

and we understand your defense.

Good. Then you see I'm innocent.

We have also been given
a preliminary report

by Reddick, Boseman & Lockhart.

It divulges
all the details of their

co-founder's
sexual indiscretions.

In the opinion of this panel,

the motive you ascribe to
Reddick/Boseman doesn't hold up.

They have no secret to hide,

so the allegations against you
remain credible,

and we'll be deciding on
your disbarment presently.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

There is, uh,
there is one more thing.

I have a...

I have a witness.

A key witness.

A witness who will speak
to Reddick/Boseman's culpability

in these charges against me.
Give it up, Roland.

Oh, you would love that,
wouldn't you? Yeah.

Well, I am driven by a
deeper passion: the truth.

And the truth is
that their firm...

...is subject to
the Himmel doctrine.

How is that relevant here?

It states that if an attorney

has reason to suspect misconduct

on the part of another attorney,
said attorney

has an affirmative
duty to report it.

Failure to do so is punishable
by suspension or disbarment.

Are you saying we were
somehow in violation

of the Himmel doctrine?

Oh, not "somehow."

There's a witness
who will testify

that if-if perjury was,
in fact, committed,

it was known to your firm

and their lawyers.
All right. Make this witness

available and we'll hear from him.
Not him. Her.

What is it?

Is it Trump?

In what appears
to be a prank gone wrong,

several police units were dispatched

to the Virginia home
of Michael Tyrek.

After a 911 call reporting
a hostage situation involving

young children, SWAT teams arrived...
Is that...?

...at the Tyrek home
and shot one armed adult male.

It's been confirmed

that the fatality was

senior White House consultant
Michael Tyrek.

What do I do?

You're sure it was them?

They were talking
about swatting him.

I could have stopped them,
but I...

Oh, my God, I didn't.

I-I think I must secretly
have wanted it to happen.

You didn't want him dead.

They didn't either.

Do you think they'll
do this again?

Diane, you have to report them.

No.

What if someone else dies?
Liz,

we are tied to them.
Do you understand?

No one will believe that
we're innocent of this.

Then-then you need to show them
that it was all a lie.

Valerie, everything.

We're deciding what next.

We're wondering if we should
go after his chief of staff.

No. Absolutely not.
You cannot do this.

Did you see the news?

They're taking it seriously.

They're taking killing
a man seriously.

They're not taking
the cause seriously.

Yes, they are.

Did you watch MSNBC?
It's about killing begetting killing.

It's exactly the point
we wanted to make.

Stop it. Everyone, stop it.

This is a lie. Here.
Valerie brought us together

to steal our money.
There is proof.

She is a liar.

She is a swindler.

It doesn't matter, Diane.
We're way past that.

We're past polls. We're past
favorability ratings

and precincts and
voting machines.

They're conducting war against
us, against their citizens.

These are the rules of warfare.

This is not warfare.

You two have never been

100% committed, not even
from the beginning.

We know about your husband.

Working in the V.A.
We know who you are.

We're not gonna let you get
anybody else killed.

It's not up to you.

We'll see.

You two are just as culpable.

I need you to testify.

No.

You'd be testifying to the truth.
No.

The truth is
you suborned perjury.

I tried to stop you,
and Boseman tried to stop you.

That's not the truth.
Blum.

Maia, listen to me.

The truth is what you make it.

You build the facts into the
truth that serves your purpose.

If it stops serving
your purpose,

you rebuild it into something else.

That's what keeps you
from being a slave

to how people define you.

That's how you become
your own person.

You define what truth is.

Now, this committee
is gonna disbar me

unless Reddick/Boseman
backs off. The truth is,

my fate

and the fate of this firm

is in your hands.

Where you going?
Home.

I need you in the committee
tomorrow at noon.

So...

are we gonna talk about it?

Adrian, we have so many things
that we could talk about,

I have no idea
where to even start.

Um... us.

What part of us?

As I remember,
we told each other

that it was a mistake and that
it would never happen again.

And that mistake is about
to appear in a report

handed over to Chumhum
and all the partners.

We don't know that.
We know that the investigator

is thorough. We know that we
just talked about coming clean.

Adrian, I just want
this small portion

of my life not to be public, okay?

Just this much.

Okay.

Okay.

Liz.

You regret it?

What?

Fucking.

What do you want to hear?

Oh, Jesus.

Forget it.
No-no, I'm serious, I'm serious.

What do you want to hear?
I said forget it, Liz.

Okay.

No. I don't regret it.

Me neither.

But it was once.

Just once.

Yeah.

Night, Liz.
Night.

Okay, yeah, thank you
for your honesty,

especially about these
additional sexual indiscretions

of Mr. Reddick's.

Anything you'd like
to add, Brenda?

The firm is dysfunctional,

but it's not about
the sexual issues.

It's struggling with
its recent growth spurt,

but I've put some plans
together to correct that.

And Mr. Reddick's
actions?

They are regrettable,

and I think it'll
cause a loss of faith

in the firm for
a while, but that

hopefully is temporary.
Thank you.

Thank you.
And thank you all.

We've enjoyed working with you.
Mr. Gross wishes you the best.

Th-That's it?
We're done?

I'm afraid so.

Has your witness arrived,
Mr. Blum?

Uh, she seems to be running
a bit late, but she'll be here.

This is a delaying tactic,
Mr. Kreutzer.

Oh, you wish.

The panel has reached
a determination.

If you have further evidence,
we'll hear it in appeal.

Mr. Blum, suborning perjury
is a serious offense.

Mr. Arthur Garber never worked
in the insurance business.

Well, then he fooled me as well.
I-I am shocked.

We're recommending the censure
of Reddick/Boseman

for their failure to report

this misconduct
in a timely manner.

It wasn't intentional,
Mr. Kreutzer.

Oh, you're full of shit.
Hold on, Blum.

We're also recommending
that you be disbarred.

What the fuck?

This concludes the business
before this panel.

Thank you all for your time.

What, you-you-you think this is
the end of Roland Blum?

You think I-I'll just go

and live a life
of-of quiet contemplation

and-and flannel shirts?!

Yeah, you, you enjoy
your waning moments

of power and prosperity,
you smug,

half-smart hall monitors!

Well, Roland Blum will rise up.

Like Lazarus.

Drive you all
into the fucking sea.
