All language subtitles for Suits.LA.S01E11.WEB

- Previously on "Suits LA"...

- I've been up and running

as the head of the
Criminal Division since Monday.

- Then we need to make
an announcement

as soon as possible.

Big, splashy case, preferably
related to entertainment.

- You know Sierra Carson?
- Of course I do.

Teen star accused of
assaulting her father.

- Don't you wanna know
if I did it?

- Not right now.

- I believe I have myself
a new attorney, Your Honor.

- "The Office"
was a work of genius!

- Even Toby was funnier
than you!

- So you told Patton to start
that whole thing with me?

- I did.

- I need to know if I'm facing
criminal charges.

- You got yourself into this;
you can get yourself out.

- Yeah, I killed Janet Fields,
and I will kill you.

But I'm not gonna have to,

'cause you don't wanna
hurt Helen.

Or your sweet children.

- I recorded everything
that you just said.

So if anything ever happens
to my good friend,

you are going to spend

the rest of your life
in prison.

- Okay, but if that gets heard,
you know what I'm capable of.

Come on, guys, you're supposed
to come in on the--

ah, suck it.

You two take the fun
out of everything.

- What the hell? You hit me.

- I hit you
because you stopped short.

- I stopped exactly where
I'm supposed to stop,

and maybe you would
have seen that

if you weren't busy dancing
to some '90s boy band music.

- I was listening
to no such thing.

- Oh, really? Is this you?

- That is not how I car dance.

And even if I were expressing
joy during a very popular song

that just happened to be on,

there's a sign right there
that says,

no stopping
unless you're an idiot.

- It doesn't say that!
- You're right.

It says no stopping
unless you're a moron--my bad.

- You better rethink
calling me a moron

in front of my flesh and blood.

- It can't be
a surprise to them.

They better pray
it skips a generation.

- Just give me your information

before I skip on over
to the police.

- Fine.
Now, get back into

your roller skate
you call a car.

Never want to see your "Drake
& Josh" guest star face again.

- I recurred on "Drake & Josh,"

and I was a lead
on "Community."

- An overrated show
if there ever was one.

- "Community" is one of the
greatest sitcoms ever filmed,

and don't you forget it.

- I will forget it the same
way the American public has.

- Oh, it's on,

you ZZ Top-looking moth--

That's right.

I said it.

- New car?

- It's a loaner.

Some stupid mom stopped short
in the drop-off lane.

- And you hit her?
- That's what she's claiming.

- And let me guess.

You told her very calmly
it wasn't a problem,

and you came to
a mature resolution.

- What's your point?
- That you have a temper.

- Since when
do I have a temper?

- When they put the wrong
soap in the bathrooms.

- Hygiene's important.
What are we, cavemen?

- Ben's Pomeranian.
- It's not a service animal.

- Carol's time-off request.

- I'll give you that one,

though I still think
preeclampsia

sounds like
a made-up condition.

I mean, think about it.

You never hear about
post-eclampsia.

- What is wrong with you?

- The point is,
just 'cause this woman's on TV

doesn't mean she can get away

with forcing me
to rear-end her.

- Wait, did you just say on TV?

- Maybe.
- Who is it?

- I'd rather not say.

- Why not?

- Because,
upon further reflection,

she may be Rick's client.

- Maybe or is?

- That is an interesting
question--to be or not to be?

- Stuart, who is this woman?

- Yvette Nicole Brown.

- Let me get this straight.

You rear-ended Rick's client,
insisted on it being her fault,

and called her an idiot
in front of the entire school.

- How can you know that?

Were you there?
- No.

I've known you for
longer than five seconds.

Now, let me tell you
what's going to happen.

You're going to call Yvette,

tell her you'll pay
for any damage,

and apologize
for getting worked up.

- But I don't want to.

- Then you can supplement
Rick's bonus

to the tune of 5% of
her earnings every year

from now until forever.

- I could probably
lob a call her way.

- Okay.

So the charge
is aggravated assault,

which means
they're going to say

that not only
did you hurt your father,

you intended
serious bodily injury.

Now, we're going to argue
that they cannot prove

that that was your intent.

- That was my intent.

Walk me through why.

- There was this part
that I was offered.

A real role--
like a chance to prove

that I'm more
than some stupid teen star.

And he killed it.

- So you found that out,
you came home,

and you just
threw the statue at him?

- No, I told him
I'm sick of him

trying to control everything
that I do,

and he said that part would
make me a joke.

I screamed at him.

He wants me to stay
that little girl

from "Wholesome Creek" forever.

He said, that little girl
won that award.

I took one look at it,

lost it,
and threw it at his face.

- And then what happened?

- Blood started pouring out,

so I called 911.

And they took him
to the hospital,

and then they arrested me.

- Okay, we do have a hearing

to get you access to your
money for your defense.

So is there anything else
I might need to know?

- It's not just my career
my dad tries to control.

I mean, he won't even let me
see my money.

I think he's spending it
on himself.

I don't trust him.

He won't even
show me the books.

- Well, that all ends today.

- What's taking him so long?

- It's Stuart's bachelor party.

He can take
as long as he wants.

But since we are waiting,

tomorrow's our last day
in California.

Do you want to go
to Universal Studios?

Do you want to go to the beach?

Anything you want to do.

- I want to visit Samantha.

- Eddie, things are a little
complicated with Samantha.

We haven't spoken
since she left.

- I miss her.

Don't you miss her too?

- Yeah, I miss her, but--

- Hey, who's ready
for a bachelor party?

- Ah!
- What's up, Eddie?

Come here.

- Okay, okay.

Hey, bud, do you want to
wait for us in the car?

All right.

- He seems good,
given everything.

- He doesn't know.

- His father's on trial,
and he doesn't know?

- If he knew,
he'd want to be there,

and I don't want him to hear
what that bastard

is capable of, so no.

- Well, what happens
if they find him guilty?

- I will drive off that bridge
when I get to it.

Either way, thank you very much

for moving your bachelor party
to this weekend.

- Of course, man, you're my
best friend in the world.

I'd move it to Mars
if it would help.

I'm only sad
you're not here for longer.

- We're not gonna kiss, are we?

- Everything's on the table
tonight, Ted.

It's my last hurrah.
Helen wouldn't mind.

- Do you think that Helen is
saying the same sort of thing

at her bachelorette?

- That's not funny.

- Yes, it is.

- Patton,
what are you doing here?

- I am here
to sign my contract.

- Yeah, let me explain to you
how that works.

You sign...
- Mm-hmm.

- After I'm done negotiating.

- Ted, this is my
dream role, okay?

I've been dying to do a movie
like this for years.

- They're not gonna recast you.
- You don't know that.

- What I know is,

if you sign now, any demands
that you might have--

- I have no problems
with the contract

as it currently stands.

I'll sign, okay?

I have no other demands
on this movie.

- You sure?
- 1,000%.

- I'll get the contract
and meet you in my office.

- Okay.

- Brian.

- Patton.

- Man, I am so sorry
for how things went

between us last time.

- I appreciate that.
Thank you.

Erica told me
you were just trying

to work me up for my own good.

- Even so,
things got out of hand.

I said things I didn't mean.

If there's anything I can do
to make up for it, man,

please let me know.
- Because you brought it up,

Erica told me about
the new movie you're doing.

I'd love a part in that.
- My what now?

- Movie.

I'd like for you to get me
a part in your new movie.

- The thing is, like,
you're doing drama now,

and this is an action comedy.

And there's no drama in it,
you know?

- That's okay.
I'm still willing to do comedy.

- The thing about your comedy,
though, is it's not--

- Physical?

- Funny.

- I'm not funny?

You know, I've won two Emmys.

- Yeah, for an ensemble.

I mean, it's like getting
a participation trophy.

- Ensemble,
says the man who is playing

comic relief in an action film

and suddenly thinks
he's an action star.

- How dare you say that to me?

I've been working out.

- At what gym,
the Waffle House?

- I'll have you know,
I can do 34 push-ups.

- You could do 100 push-ups.

No one is ever going to believe
that "Ratadouchie"

could fall out of an airplane,

much less jump out of one.

- It's "Ratatouille,"

and that's your opinion.

Is it--is it also my opinion
that the sky is blue?

Because you've got
a better chance

of convincing the world
that that's not true

than that you can do
your own stunts.

- What the hell
is wrong with you?

- Nothing's wrong with me.
I'm alive!

- You won't be if you
don't get off right now.

- Make me, you piece of--

- Hey, hey!
What the hell is going on?

He started it.

- I don't care who started it.

I'm ending it. Now.

- Hey, Ted.
It's great to see you.

So tell Erica, give me a call,
all right?

And, uh, we'll just...

Do the things that we do.

- He was--he was--

yeah, okay.

- Good morning, Ricardo.

Have I mentioned to you

how much I think
you're killing it?

- What did you do,
and what makes you think

I'm going to help you fix it?

- Berry Extraordinary Danish?

That's what they call it,
and, believe me,

it is berry, berry good.

- Whatever it is,
the answer is no.

- You do realize
you work for me?

- And if it was
something that fell

within the bounds of my job,
this Danish wouldn't be here.

It'd be in your belly.

- Okay, fine.

Yvette Nicole Brown.

- Oh, my God,
I should have known.

You're the drop-off dad
from hell.

- Then I'm sure you're aware

it wasn't a crash,
it was a ding,

and it was her fault.

- Then why are you here?

- Samantha helped me realize
that I may have overreacted.

And therefore,
I am prepared to--

- You can do it.

- Spit it out.

- Apologize

and make restitution,

if you could convey those
sentiments, so on and so forth.

- No.

- I'm saying I'm sorry.

- No, Stuart, you're asking me
to say you're sorry.

And the last time you asked me
to talk to someone for you,

it didn't go well.

- Rick, I'm not asking
as your boss.

I'm asking as your friend.

- Well, then I'm telling you,
as your friend,

making an apology
through a third party,

that's not an apology.

You got to man up, Stuart.

Whatever you do, just please,

don't be yourself.

Danish stays.

- All right.

What the hell
is wrong with you?

- Me?
He had the nerve

to demand a part
in my new movie.

- But how did that
lead to that?

- That's not important.

What's important is,
I want to do my own stunts.

- What?

Since when?

- Since always.

That's really the reason
I came in today.

I want to make sure you put,
"he can do his own stunts" in

before I sign any contract.

- Patton, two minutes ago,

you were over the moon.

What's going on?

- Look, Ted, I'm sorry.

I know I'm not anyone's idea of
a quintessential action hero,

but I want to do my own stunts.

This is really important to me.

If it wasn't this important,
I wouldn't ask you to do it.

- Your Honor, we believe
that Sierra's father

has been taking advantage
of her.

- Me?

She's the one that shows up,
and not a day later,

there's a big announcement
in the paper

that her firm is
representing my daughter.

- And you're the one using
her earnings for yourself.

- Oh, that's outrageous.

I do what is in the best
interests of Sierra.

I always have.

- Then show us the books.

- I don't have to
show you anything.

- He's right. He doesn't.

And I'm inclined to deny your
petition for a conservator.

- Your Honor--
- You've presented no evidence

of anything you're saying.

Is your client alleging
physical abuse?

Sexual abuse?
- No, but if I--

- Then for all I know,
this is a 16-year-old girl

who doesn't like that
her dad isn't letting her

have what she wants.

- Your Honor, you said
that I was more qualified

than the public defender.
- Yes.

That's why I let you take
the case in the first place.

But that doesn't mean
a girl who's accused

of assaulting her father
can use money

he controls
to get away with it.

- How is she meant
to fund her defense?

- That's not the
court's problem.

You want to give this back to
the public defender's office?

- No, I don't want to do that.

I care about my client,
not the money.

- Then it looks like
you're handling this pro bono,

and we're going to trial.

- Ted.

- Amanda, I thought that
you were leaving pro bono

to head Criminal
and not leveraging Criminal

to do pro bono.

- Believe me,
bringing on Sierra for free

was not the plan.

- I understand,
but this is your first case.

We made a big,
splashy announcement.

And doing it for free
sends the wrong message.

- I don't care what message
it sends.

She doesn't have the money.
I'm not gonna drop my client.

- I'm not asking you
to drop her.

I'm telling you
there's a way to make it work.

- How?
- Get Erica to sign her.

That way, we get
an entertainment client

out of the Criminal Division,

which is the reason
we have both.

- The only problem I see?
- Mm-hmm?

- The father.

- Amanda, I'm not asking you
what the problem is.

I am just asking you to fix it.

- Miss Brown,

thank you so much for coming.

- Oh, I'm Miss Brown now?

I thought I was
a overrated moron

who can't read a stop sign
that doesn't exist.

- Clearly, I was worked up,

and I shouldn't have spoken
to you in that manner.

You are
an exceedingly funny actress,

and I would be more than happy
to pay for any damages

to your vehicle.

- That's what you got?

I have been an actress
long enough to know

a scripted apology
when I hear one.

- Scripted or not,
it's an apology.

Now you accept it.

- So you're telling me
that I have to accept it?

Well, what happens if I don't?

- That would be unfortunate.

- Are you threatening me?

- No.

- 'Cause it sounds like
you're threatening me.

Help! I'm being threatened!

- Shut up! What are you doing?
- Help!

I am showing you
what a fine actress I am.

And if you can't do better than
that excuse for an apology,

your firm
is gonna lose a client.

You're gonna drop our firm

because you didn't like
my delivery?

- You're damn skippy 'cause
I'm not gonna be represented

by a bloated windbag--

- How dare you call me
a bloated windbag,

you has-been whack job.

- What did you just call me?
- Did I stutter?

- Now you're making fun
of people who stutter?

- No!

But I will make fun
of anyone I want.

- Now I realize that leaving
this firm may not be enough.

- You're not leaving anything
because I'm kicking you out.

And guess what?
That apology was BS

'cause you're a crappy driver,
you're not funny,

and it will be
a cold day in hell

before I ever apologize to the
world's least talented actress.

Least talented actress.

There's at least five more
that are worse than me.

Maybe four.

- Oh.

Please, come in.
I need a distraction.

- Tough contract?

- Brian Baumgartner's rental
agreement in New York--

wants the pet deposit waived.

- What kind of pet
does he have?

- He doesn't--says the whim
may strike him.

- Reason number 761 why
I don't represent actors.

But you do,
which is why I'm here.

Ted wants you to sign
Sierra Carson.

- No.
- I get it.

You're worried about
the charges against her,

but I am telling you,
I'm gonna win this.

- It doesn't matter
if you win or not.

She's a child star
past her prime.

- Erica--
- I don't have time

to take on a client
that no one's gonna hire.

- In that case, you know that
thing you're always saying

you haven't thanked me for
enough?

You haven't.

- I thought you said all those
Chinese dinners did that.

- I was lying. You owe me.

- You really are head of
Criminal now, aren't you?

- You bet your ass I am.

One more thing.

She can't actually sign
with us until she's 18

or the father approves,
which he may never do.

- So we can't make money off
of her for another two years?

- It's a long-term investment.

You have always been very good
at the--the long game.

- Fine.

I'll do it,

and I'll convince
the father for you,

but please, don't kiss my ass.

It's not a good color on you.

- That is very insightful
of you.

- Next up,
we have the dynamic duo

of Stuart and the Tedster.

And they're
"Tearin' Up My Heart."

- You didn't.
- I did, and you are.

- Stuart.
- Come on.

Fine.
I'm doing it myself.

- I'm not--
- I'm doing it myself.

Get up here, Ted.
You know why?

- Hey!

- You a big fan of NSYNC?

- No, I hate them.
That's my brother.

- Oh, yeah.
I see the resemblance.

- Are you Patton Oswalt?

- You know who I am?
- Of course.

I love "The King of Queens"
and "Ratatouille."

- A man of refinement
and taste.

I like that.
What's your name?

- Eddie.
- Eddie.

- Let me tell you something.
Your brother--

- Patton,
can I get an autograph?

- Yeah, I'm talking to my
friend, Eddie, right now.

- Yeah, come on,
just sign real quick.

I gotta go.

- Listen, I'm talking
to my friend Eddie, okay?

- Come on, dude,
Make-A-Wish can wait.

- Make-A-Wish?
That's brilliant.

I know someone who made a wish.

Your mom wished that you didn't
grow up to be a mean douche.

- What did you just say to me?

- I'm sorry.

I meant to say your mom
should have seriously

considered birth control.

- Too good for me now?

- Do you have
anything else you want to say?

- You all right?
- No.

- Yeah.

I saw you stand up
for my brother there.

Thank you. Ted Black.

- Patton Oswalt.

- Teddy.
- Yeah?

- He's famous.

- You wanted to see me?

- So Patton Oswalt
comes in today.

He's itching
to sign his contract.

And then he gets into a fight
with Brian Baumgartner,

and all of a sudden,

he wants to do
all of his own stunts.

- And you want to know
if Brian had anything to do

with Patton's ask?
- I do.

- Long story short,
Brian told him

he couldn't do his own stunts.

Okay.

Thank you, Erica.

I'll see you tomorrow.

- Now, hold on there, slugger.

As long as I'm here, next time
you want me to sign a client,

you come to me.

Don't send Amanda.

I hate when clients
are shoved down my throat.

- I thought it was a win-win.

- Well, if it a win-win,
why didn't you sign her?

- First of all,
40-year-old man swoops in

to save teen starlet
with Daddy issues

has lawsuit
written all over it.

- 40?

Being a little generous
with yourself there,

aren't you, Grandpa?

- Hurtful.

Second of all,
this is a young woman

with a controlling man
in her life,

and you are better suited to
represent her than I am.

I gotta say, I didn't think
you had it in you

to see it like that.

- Do you have it in you
to apologize

for calling me Grandpa?
- No.

But I will sign Sierra Carson.

- Do you mind telling me
how you intend to do that?

- Easy--
I'm going to help Amanda

get her out
of her assault charge,

and when it's over, she's going
to be begging me to sign her.

Now, make me a drink.

Stop asking silly questions,
Pop-Pop.

- I have never liked you.

- And you never will.

- Your Honor, we weren't
supposed to start trial

for another week.

- I'm aware of that,
Ms. Stevens,

but the prosecution
has a motion.

- The state now believes
that Miss Carson

should be tried as an adult.

- She is 16 years old.

- You were
before this judge yesterday

arguing she should have her own
money for her defense.

- I was arguing
for a conservator,

and the judge said no.

- Not to letting her
pick her own attorney.

- Your Honor, this is nothing
but this man trying

to make a name for himself
and would not be happening

if my client were not famous.

- It's not my fault
she's an actress who

earns as much as an adult

and knew full well
the consequences

of what would happen

if that statue hit
her father's head.

- I have to say,
I'm inclined to agree.

- I understand that, but
he is springing this on us

with no notice.

- If you'd like 24 hours
to respond,

I'll grant you that.

- Actually, I'd like a moment
with my client.

How badly do you want to
be free of your father?

- It's all I think about.

I told you,
he controls everything I do.

- Then here's the thing.

I can fight this,

but I think if we accept it,

we can use it to get you
free of him, once and for all.

- And what if they find me
guilty as an adult?

I don't want to go to prison.

- It's a first-time offense.
It's aggravated assault.

There is no way I'm letting you
go to prison for that.

- Okay.

I trust you.

- Okay.

Your Honor,
we agree to be tried

as an adult on the condition
that you acknowledge

you are declaring her an adult,

and she is legally emancipated.

- So ruled.

- No.
- Rick.

- Get out of my office, Stuart.
- Listen to me.

- I already heard
what happened.

Yvette came in here
for an apology,

and you insulted her even more.

Do you know what I had to do
to convince her not to drop me?

- Promise you'd bring the dead
goat to her next coven meeting?

- You think that's funny?

She's a major client,
and she's important to me.

- No, I don't think
this is funny,

and she may not
have dropped you,

but she found a way
to punish me.

- Punish you how?

- She got a restraining order
against me.

- Stuart, I'm her lawyer.

I didn't file
any restraining order.

What are you talking about?

- This is not
a restraining order.

This is just a letter
barring you from the school.

- Exactly.

I'm being restrained from
going to my children's school.

- Well, maybe you
should be kept away

from children if you--

wow--

made fun of people
with disabilities?

- She's twisting what I said
so they would bar me.

- Says here you mocked
people who stutter.

- I would never do that.

I reserve the right
to mock people who stutter.

It's a free speech issue.

- Let's just call up
the school, then.

You tell them about
the First Amendment,

and I'm sure
they'll let you back in

around the 7th of Nevuary.

- Why are you
taking her side in this?

- Because you're in the wrong

in every part
of this conversation.

- Rick,

my children are
the most important thing

in the world to me.

My daughter's play
is this weekend.

My son's soccer team
is in the semifinals.

I've never missed a game.
Please.

I told you before I was asking
for your help as a friend.

Now I'm asking as a father.

I need you to convince her
to drop this.

I'll do anything.

- Well, Patton, it's been
very nice talking to you,

but I need to go get
my buddy Stuart

before he starts singing
Carly Simon.

- I gotta ask.

You're the guy that took down
John Pellegrini, right?

- Come on.

- What can I say, man?
I'm a Scorsese fan.

I follow mob trials.

- So, to you, I'm famous?

- But, to you, I'm famous.

- I never actually
heard of you.

What?

- Out here, no one is honest
with you like that.

It's really refreshing.

- I heard your
Neil Diamond earlier.

Would you like my unvarnished
opinion on that too?

- No.

Do you have a business card?

- No, I don't, I'm actually--

I'm in between jobs
at the moment.

- Well, if you ever think
about becoming

an entertainment lawyer,
look me up.

- I would,
except for one thing.

- What?
- I'd rather kill myself

than become
an entertainment lawyer.

- We don't want that.

- Nice to meet you, Patton.
- Nice to meet you, Ted.

- Yeah. Uh-oh.

There he is.

- You gotta get me out of here.

- What's going on?

You haven't even sung
Carly Simon yet.

- You remember your
surefire way to not throw up?

- Yeah, don't drink too much.

- I didn't do it.

- Let's get you--
let's get you home.

Come on, buddy. Hey.
- He's famous.

- Yes, he is.

Okay, Patton,
before I convince the studio

to let you do your own stunts,

it's going to cost them
$1 million in insurance,

so they're not gonna let you
change your mind.

- Why would I change my mind?

- Let's take a look at
the animatic of the stunt.

- Well, we're on a plane.
I've flown before.

- The stunt...

has not started yet.

- Oh. I know that. I know.

- There it is.
- Whoa!

He jumped out of the plane!

Jumped out of the plane.
Okay, he's falling.

He's doing somersaults.

Why does the script call
for him to do--

does he have no sense
of self-preserva--

where's his parachute?
- Wait for it.

- Pulled the ripcord.

Pulled the ripcord, it is over.

- No, it's--

it's not because
your parachute snaps.

- For the love of God!

Who packed
the freakin' parachute?

- You did.

- I di--this guy
is a Navy SEAL!

He doesn't know
how to pack a parachute?

- Your character
is not a Navy SEAL.

- If he's not a Navy SEAL, why
is he jumping out of airplanes?

Make it stop.
- No.

- What? What? What? What?

- We are going to watch
because of...

the landing.

- Oh, God!

That's not a landing.

That is not a landing.

That is--that's death.

He died.

He's de--I'm dead.

He died, and I'm dead.

- Are you okay?

- What about me
looks okay right now?

- Nothing.

So let me get you out
of this thing.

- No. I still want to do it.

I want to do it.
- All right, listen.

Look, I heard
what Brian said to you.

You don't have to prove
anything to him.

- I appreciate that, okay?
- Okay.

- But it's not
about him anymore.

This is about me facing
and overcoming my fear.

And if I can't do that,
I can never act again.

- You're gonna have to
walk me through that.

- You were right,
at first, okay?

It was about what Brian said.

He said I couldn't do it,
so, oh, now I gotta do it.

But, Ted, the only place
I've never been afraid

is when I'm performing.

And now I got it into my head

that this is part
of that performance.

And I can't get it
out of my head.

So now,
if I don't do this stunt--

- The only place that you've
never been scared goes away.

- I have to do this.

- Then I'll get it done.

But we are gonna watch
the animatic again.

- Nope.

- Okay.

- No, no, no.

- He always goes for the snacks
when he's scared.

- Amanda, what in God's name
did you do?

- I see that you read
the court proceedings.

- You mean the one
where you agreed

to let Sierra be tried
as an adult?

- Erica--

- Are you out of your
goddamn mind?

- Listen to me--

I was gonna
lose that motion anyway.

At least this way, she's free.
You can sign her.

- I'm not talking
about her career.

- I'm not either.
I'm looking out for her life.

- Well, then you're failing
on both counts

because she could end up
in prison.

- I'm not gonna
let that happen.

- Okay, Amanda,
I'm no criminal attorney,

but even I can see you are
way out in the deep end.

Please, tell me
what's going on here.

- Look, I get this girl.
I get what she's going through.

I had a controlling father,
but I had no one to help me,

and I'm not gonna let what
happened to me happen to her.

Oh, my God.

That publicity-seeking
son of a bitch.

You were right.

- About what?

- The DA interviewed
the father,

and, based on his statement,
they're upping the charges

to attempted murder.

- Let me state the obvious.

You cannot take this to trial.

- I-I don't have a choice.

I-I'm not in a position
to cut a deal.

- Maybe not with the DA,

but you can cut one
with the father.

- What do you want me to do?

He went to them
and told them this.

- He couldn't have known
they were going to use

what he said to charge her
with attempted murder.

- You don't know
that that's true.

- And you don't know
that it isn't.

- Erica, just--
- Look, you agreed

to let her be tried
as an adult.

Attempted murder is
five years, minimum?

- Yeah.

- You have no choice but to
make peace with the father.

And if you don't, I will.

- Yvette, thanks for coming in.

- Oh, is that
a peppermint latte?

- Yeah, extra minty, with goat
milk, just the way you like it.

- Oh, well, I'll take it,
but just because I'm thirsty.

Doesn't mean I'm buying
whatever it is you selling.

- Oh, okay.

Listen, um...

So I heard what you did
to Stuart, and--

- Ah, so you're worried
he's going to retaliate?

He doesn't scare me.
- Yvette--

- Look, Rick,

I know you've always had
a thing for me.

You know, you love someone
that you represent,

and you know, sometimes the
lines can get a little blurry.

- I wouldn't necessarily--

- And I know you've
always seen yourself

as my knight in shining armor.

- That part is true, yeah.

- But, Rick, I need you to
keep your sword in its sheath.

- Where's this going?

- I'm just trying to say that
I'm not worried about Stuart

coming for me because
I am a fierce, independent,

occasionally violent woman.

You said a lot
of things there--

most of them, wish you hadn't.

But look,
I'm not defending Stuart.

Despite his many shortcomings,

the man is a great father.

And if you don't lift
this order,

he's gonna miss a huge part
of his kids' lives,

and it's breaking his heart.

- So you're pleading his case?

- I'm asking what it would take
to convince you

to talk to the school.

He'll do anything you ask.

- Anything?
- Anything.

- All right.

Number one, he is not allowed
to listen to '90s boy bands

while driving ever again.

- He should've never
been allowed to do that

in the first place.
- I agree.

And, two,
he will write me a poem,

and he will recite it
in front of a large gathering

of my friends and family.

- I gotta admit,
that's a good one.

- Mm-hmm.
- He'll hate it,

but he'll do it.

Anything else?

- Yeah, I got one more,

and this one's not negotiable.

- Mr. Forrest,
thank you for agreeing to meet.

- Hello, Sierra.

- Dad.

- Why don't we have a seat?

So you're aware that they would
be trying Sierra as an adult?

- Uh, yes, they told me.

- And what that means is,
if she were found guilty,

she would be sent to an adult
prison for five to seven years.

- No, that isn't what I want.
- Good.

Because you can stop
all of this

by telling that DA that you're
not willing to testify

against your own daughter.

- Now, before I say yes
to anything,

I want to talk about her
supposed emancipation.

- It's not supposed.
It happened.

- And I'm not willing to give
up supervision of your choices.

- You mean supervision
of her money?

- What did you just say?

- We can play games, or we
can just cut to the chase.

You can keep all of her money.

She gets her freedom.

- You want to pay me
to stop being her father?

- I want to pay you
to let your daughter grow up.

- And I'm taking that part.

- No, you are doing
no such thing.

I will not have the world
see you as a--

- As a--a what, a sexual being?

- As a whore!

- Well, I'm capable
of making my own choices.

- No, you are not.

- The court thinks I am.

- Because your lawyer
argued for it.

- I did that because you want
to control her life

so that you can control
her money.

- If you think I care one bit
about the money,

you don't know me at all.

- Then why don't you just show
her the books, you hypocrite?

- Okay, that's enough.

Sierra,
I'm going to tell you something

I don't think anyone's said
to you before.

Your father is
looking out for you.

You might not like
how he's doing it,

but it is what he's doing.

- Exactly.
- And you--

I've seen this movie before.

You can stop her
from taking this role

for another two years,
but one day,

another role will come along,

and she is not going to be
your little girl anymore.

If you don't want her hating
you for the rest of your life,

you need to wrap your mind
around that.

- I wasn't hiding the books
because I took your money.

I was hiding them
because there is so much,

and I didn't want it
to mess you up.

If you want to take a role
like this in two years,

there's nothing I can do
to stop you.

But right now,
you are too young.

- I'm not.

- Sierra, you threw a statue
at the man's head.

- What do you think?

- I think Erica is
a very smart woman.

- Rick.

- Look, Yvette is willing
to give you what you want,

but she's got some demands.

You're gonna hate them,
but you're gonna

swallow your pride,
and you're gonna do them.

But?

One of them, I'm not sure
how you're gonna react.

- What is it?

- She wants you to take
an anger management course.

- No.

She's trying to humiliate me.

- No, not with this.

- My goddamn anger
is managed just fine.

- Okay, look,

if you don't do this,

you aren't going to get to go

to another one
of your kids' events.

- Why are you doing this to me?

- Me?
I'm just trying to give you

what you want.

- What I want is for her to
stop threatening my family.

- She is not
threatening your family.

- You don't know
what she's capable of.

- It's just a demand.
You don't have to do it.

- She's got a goddamn gun
to my head!

- Stuart.

What is really going on here?

- Want to talk about it?

- My father wasn't
just controlling.

He was an addict.

He took my college money
that I'd earned from working,

and I had to lie to keep him
from going to prison.

That's just for starters.

- Then it's a wonder
you didn't throw

a statue at Sierra's father.

- I might have.

But someone with
a cooler head stepped in.

- She sounds amazing.

You should thank her.

- I should.

- My father was
hard on me too.

He pushed me, and he pushed me,

said that people like us
need to work twice as hard

to get where we want.

I'd push back, too, of course.

Sometimes too hard.

We'd fight like cats and dogs,

but every Sunday,

we'd go out for breakfast,
just me and him,

and I'd remember that no matter
how angry I got at him,

he was doing it
because he loved me.

What?

- I was just gonna say I wish
I'd had a father like that,

but I do--

My stepdad.

I need to call him
later tonight,

after our plans.

- What plans?

- We're all set up upstairs,

in half an hour--Chinese food.

And this time it's on me.

- You didn't.

- You think I don't know
how to thank a person?

- Well, did you get egg rolls?

'Cause you know we can't eat
Chinese food without egg rolls.

- Please.
- Extra crispy?

- Just the way you like them.

- Well, then,
I'll see you in a half-hour.

- Fancy meeting you here.

Did you come to thank me

for not only signing
Sierra Carson

but for making
her charges go away too?

- I came to tell you
that I was right.

- About what?

- You being the perfect choice
to represent her.

- Let me get this straight.

I come in, save the day,
and you take all the credit?

- I'm sorry.
Did you miss orientation?

Ted Black, nice to meet you.

- I remember you.

Grandpa Black,
been taking credit since 1929.

- It's just the same joke
over and over again.

- I know,
but it never gets old,

unlike you.

- Seriously, Erica, I know that
you didn't want this client.

I also know that I don't say
this to you nearly enough,

but there is no person
that I would rather have

by my side than you.

- Rick.

What are you doing here?

- Uh, actually, I came here
to talk to Ted.

- Of course.

I was just heading upstairs,
anyway.

- What's going on?

- Look,

I don't know what happened

between you, Stuart,
and David Bowie,

but Stuart needs you.

- Stuart, what's going on?

Hey.

Rick came to see me.

- I thought I was okay.

But Bowie threatened my family.

And I got into it with
this mother at the school,

and I somehow thought
she was threatening my family.

And now I can't go
to the school.

And now I can't see my kids.

I'm not right.

- Have you talked
with Helen about this?

- I can't.

- Stuart,
she's not just your wife.

She's a therapist.
She'll understand.

- I told you
he threatened her.

I don't want to scare her.

- I get it,
but she can handle the truth.

- I'm not telling her
she's in danger!

- Okay.

- There's something wrong
with me.

- Okay.
- I need your help,

but I don't know what to do.

- I got you.

I know what to do, okay?

- Sorry, to drag you away from
whatever you had planned today.

- Please.

You know I'd do anything
for Eddie.

- I do.

You look nice.

- Thank you.

So do you.

- Thank you.

- I heard you got into
a bar fight

at Stuart's bachelor party.

- It's not--
it's not my finest moment.

- I know what's going on.

Your father's trial must have
stirred up a lot of stuff.

- He called this morning.

I didn't take it, but it's--

it's over.

He got convicted.

- How's Eddie taking it?

- I haven't told him yet.

- You can't shield him
from this, Ted.

It's his father.

He's an adult,
and he deserves to know.

- I just wanted to
give him the day.

He wanted to spend it with you.

- What are you gonna do?

- Stuart's trying to get me
to move out here,

which will never happen,

but we're gonna eat lunch
by the beach

while he tries to convince me
how nice LA is.

- You'd never consider
moving out?

- I could never leave Eddie.

- Samantha, I missed you.

- I missed you too.

Come on.

Let's go.

Take care of yourself, Ted.
- You too.

- Ted, what brings
you here so late?

- I don't want to get
into too many details, but

Stuart's struggling.

He needs some time off.

- Does this have something
to do with David Bowie?

- It does.

- That guy had trouble
written all over him.

- We took care of Bowie,

but Stuart's telling Helen

that he's going
on a business trip

so that he doesn't worry her.

He would be gone a week or so.

- You still think of him
as a brother, don't you?

- I didn't think I did, but...

turns out I do.

- I won't say
anything to Helen.

- Thanks.

- Would you like to stay
for a drink?

- A drink sounds nice.

- Aaron. Aaron!
