I've been honest with you
about what I want.

I wanna be with you.
If you don't wanna be with me,

I think we just need to
stay away from each other.

Why did we leave New York?

Sorry I didn't call, Eddie.
I should've called.

I was ashamed of Eddie.
I wish I hadn't been.

What do you want from me?

I wanna take you and Eddie
out to dinner one time

before I go away.

If you think for one second

I'm gonna let you
handle my father's will--

For your information,
I had no idea

he named me executor
until after he died.

Whatever he left.
I don't care.

Because I don't want it.

I'm Marvin,
new head of human resources.

We work in a business
with people who think

they can get away
with anything.

And Marvin knows
what the hell he's doing.

Ted represents Sean Baker.

And what Sean wants
is Dylan Pryor.

After Sean told me that
I was his choice,

I wanted to celebrate,
and the person

that I wanna celebrate with
is you.

Dylan, sorry, I can't.

♪ Oh, oh, my, my

♪ Shake my hand
and roll the dice, yeah ♪

- You got me coffee?
- You said you wanted to meet.

I did,
because I did something

that you would be proud of.

You finally decided
to switch colognes?

'Cause we've all been talking.

Hey, I smell like heaven,
and you know it.

I helped Rick get
Dylan Pryor a role

in the new
Larry McMurtry movie,

which is good for us because--

We represent Sean Baker,
and you just got him his lead.

Exactly.

There's just one thing.

Don't tell me.

There's only so much
ownership to go around,

and Dylan Pryor wants a piece
of Sean Baker's back end.

Welcome to Hollywood.

You want me to go up
against Rick, don't you?

Something wrong with that?

- No.
- Good.

'Cause we're both basically
on the same side here.

But you want me
to kick Rick's ass.

Up and down the block.

I mean, we have to protect
Sean Baker's back end.

And if there's one thing
that I care about,

it's my clients' back ends.

Do I need to call
Marvin from HR?

He can't stop
what's going on in here.

Can he at least
do something

about getting you
a new cologne?

For your information,
it's aftershave.

For your information,
it's not getting the job done.

I smell great.

♪ Hey

Dylan, you got my text.

I did, but not exactly sure
why I'm here.

- Yeah, look--
- Rick, I get it.

You ran away
after I kissed you.

Message received
loud and clear.

I want to explain
why we can't do this.

Because I'm a hideous troll
who repulses you?

That is not it.

I know that, Rick.

It was pretty obvious
that you were enjoying it

as much as I was.

I was.

But, Dylan, sometimes clients,

when they see their lawyers
fighting for them,

they develop feelings.

But that does not mean
those feelings are real.

Well, what if I want
to find out if they're real?

I don't know
what to say to that.

Say you want
to find out too.

Dylan, you are
a phenomenal woman.

Anyone would be lucky to be
in a relationship with you.

But I'm your lawyer, and I want
to keep being your lawyer.

So for now,
this is how it has to be.

Samantha,
are you calling about

the Dylan Pryor negotiation?
Because--

I'm calling about something
a little more important.

Avery Jeffers.
- Let me guess.

One of your clients
made the mistake

of calling that bastard out.

He was directing
a movie for Avery.

They were shooting
in the desert.

Avery was pushing the crew
to exhaustion.

My client thought
people's lives were at risk

and pulled the plug.

Avery's been blackballing Jim
all across town.

Not a single studio
will hire him.

You're gonna file
a defamation suit

that you can't win.
- Ted--

Samantha,
there's a reason that people

don't go after this guy.

He operates off the record.

If you do this, he's gonna
take the gun out of your hand,

and he's gonna point it
right back at you.

Unless you help me.

I'm not getting involved
in a class action.

Why the hell not?

There's strength in numbers,

and some of your clients
must have worked for him.

Even if they did,
none of them

are gonna go on the record.

Ted,
Avery is the closest thing

Hollywood gets to a mob boss.

You're the only person I know

who's taken on
someone like that,

and you're the only one I trust
to help me try.

♪ See the money,
wanna stay for your meal ♪

♪ Get another piece of pie
for your wife ♪

♪ Everybody wanna know
how it feel ♪

♪ Everybody wanna see
what it's like ♪

♪ I'll even eat a bean pie,
I don't mind ♪

♪ Me and Missy is so busy,
busy making money ♪

♪ All right

♪ All step back,
I'm 'bout to dance ♪

♪ The greenback boogie

There you are.

Got a minute?

Not if it's about that
Avery Jeffers call I overheard.

Look--

Ted, when I left
that monster,

I locked those memories
in a drawer,

and I have no interest
in revisiting any of it.

I'm not asking you
to revisit anything.

You worked for the man
for five years.

You must be able to point me
in the right direction.

You mean towards
someone who's chosen

not to come forward
so you can talk them

into doing something
they might regret.

- I can protect them.
- You don't know that.

He still scares you.

And he should scare you.

I've seen what I've seen.

Rosalyn, who rescued you
from that monster?

You know it was you.

You trusted me then.

Trust me now.

Leah, why do you have
a ribbon

taped across your door?

Because you can't have
a ribbon-cutting ceremony

for my new office
without a ribbon.

Were you raised by wolves?

Yeah, Leah,
I was raised by a pack

of ribbon-less wolves.

Was that so hard to admit?

Now, to gain entrance,

you simply take these
ceremonial scissors and--

Did you not hear
that I have scissors?

Leah, I don't have time
for this nonsense.

I gave you this office
as a thank-you

for all the work you do.

If you're just gonna waste
my time on stupid stuff like--

OK, fine.

Back-end agreements
on every deal Sean Baker's had,

Dylan Pryor's quote
on every film she's ever done,

and every comparable deal
in the last two years.

How did you know--

If you don't know by now
that I'm a badass

who can get you things before
you know you even need them,

I can't help you.

Kind of makes me look stupid

for walking through
your ribbon, doesn't it?

Doesn't make you look smart,
you know what I'm saying?

- Leah.
- You're right, I pushed it.

Thank you for the work,

and I'm sorry
about your ceremony.

Oh, I can retie the ribbon.

You can walk down the hall
and come back like...

- No.
- Nothing ever happened.

Dillon and Son
Detective Agency.

Kevin, it's Stuart Lane.

Let me guess.
You found the bug in your car.

- What bug in my car?
- PI humor.

Let's move on.
How can I help you, Stuart?

I want to engage
your services.

You mind if I ask why me?

Because I want
to thank Ted for all

that he's done for me
recently,

and I thought you'd be
the right man for the job.

You know
I'm in New York, right?

That's not a problem.

What I need involves taking
care of something in New York.

But just one thing:

can't let Ted know
we're doing this.

Why is that?

Because it has to do
with Ted's father.

Hey, sorry I'm late.

Turns out, there's a lot to do
before you go to prison.

Yeah, well, I'll get Eddie.

Teddy, wait.

I'd like to go out tonight,
just you and me.

I'm not going out
without my brother.

Just listen to me.

This is my last night
of freedom.

He has been
looking forward to this.

I promise you, I will take
Eddie to breakfast tomorrow.

But I have things
that I have to say to you

that I just can't say
in front of him.

You go, Teddy.
I'll order a pizza.

Are you sure, buddy?

I want you
to have fun with Dad.

OK.

But if you put on
one of my suits

like you usually do
and get tomato sauce on it,

we are not watching "Friends"
when I get back.

I promise I won't.

I'll call and check in, OK?

Eddie, give me a hug
before we go out.

Tell me your person
came through.

She did.

I got six more people
to go on record.

And since we talked,
I got another three,

which gives us ten.
- For now.

We're probably gonna lose
at least two.

You think it's enough?

If we get them to testify
in open court, yes, I do.

Open court?

That sounds exciting.

I gotta say, after what
she did to your firm,

I'm surprised to see you two
in the same room together.

Well, we do have history.

You may have history,
but you don't have anybody

testifying in open court.

You don't know a thing
about what we have.

You think I don't have
ears everywhere?

I knew about your lawsuit

the second you started
putting it together,

like I know
if you keep this up,

that financing that you think

you have lined up for Nicole's
little South African drama,

it won't be there
in the morning.

You're not going
to intimidate me.

I don't have to, because
I already got to the people

that you were counting
on coming forward.

Must have made a ton of calls
to stave off

all 25 of them.

It was ten, and you know it.

I just wanted
to tell you in person.

Lucky for us,
you've ruined the lives

of so many people,
we're not gonna

have trouble finding more.

You know, I know you're not
supposed to say these things

anymore, but what the hell?

You can always dream,
sweetheart,

but keep in mind what happens
to your clients if you lose.

You pick a fight with her,
you pick a fight with me,

and you better
be goddamn ready.

Two against one.

Lucky me.

Damn it.

I can't believe he got
to our people that fast.

This is actually
a good thing.

There's no way that Avery
could have blackballed

that many people that quickly,

which means that he just
outright threatened them.

And if he did it this time,
he's done it before.

The question is,
how do we find proof?

I don't care
what Marty says

about how his name looks
on the poster.

When he starts footing the bill
for his little

passion projects, he can get
the big-boy font too.

Oh, no, you get him
the hell out of my office.

Bill--

You let him bully me
into releasing Lester's movie.

I did no such thing.
I warned you he was bluffing.

You didn't listen.
- She's right. I was.

You smug son of a bitch.

You humiliated me on the stand.

- I was just doing my job.
- I don't care.

Whatever you're here for,
the answer is no.

We're going after
Avery Jeffers.

What do you need?

He's produced 30 movies here
over the years.

We need every HR complaint

that's ever been lodged
against him.

Until a few years ago,
there aren't any.

We're not looking
for the official records.

We're looking
for the initial complaints

before they were buried.

This never gets back to me.

Guaranteed.

OK, I'll do it.

But first,

I want him to say he's sorry

for everything
he's ever done to me.

I never did anything
that you didn't deserve.

Ted.

- I'm so sorry.
- Say it again.

I'm sorry, Bill.

I'm sosorry.

- Now tell me you love me.
- Not a chance in hell.

Worth a shot.

I'll get you those records.

Dylan,
what are you doing here?

I came to see you.

If you're here to talk
about your deal,

let me stop you right there.

I'm about to negotiate
against Rick.

It would be unethical for me
to engage with you.

It doesn't matter.

I'm not exactly here
about that.

I want to sign with you.
- Excuse me?

I know it sounds like--

Like you can't
make up your mind?

Because in the past few months,

you wanted to be with Rick,
then me, then Rick, and now me.

What's going on here?

Just not satisfied
with this representation.

And from what he told me,

your firm got me this role
as much as he did.

Well, Rick and I
are about to slug it out.

So if,
on the other side of this,

you still feel the same way,
we'll talk.

But, Dylan, you better not
change your mind again.

I'm not a fan
of being jerked around.

Understood.

Erica,
what are you doing here?

Ted asked me
to handle it for him.

He didn't tell you?
- Why would he?

He doesn't know what happened.

As far as I'm concerned,
nothing happened,

except you decided you didn't
want to talk to me anymore.

I'm taking time because
you're afraid of your feelings,

and you know it, and I'm not
getting into this right now.

Why not?

It's just me and--

what is she doing here?

She's my client.
She wanted to be here.

She asked to be here,
or you asked her?

What's the difference?

Because I want to know
if you're trying to get me

not to say things in front
of her or if she wants to--

What?
It was her idea, Erica.

She wanted to see me work
because, unlike some people,

she appreciates me
for who I am.

Then let's get it on.

I'm just gonna cut
straight to it.

There is no way you are getting
half of Sean Baker's profits.

Profits he'll make
because he's getting the star

that he wants for his movie.

His movie,
the one he's gonna live with

for the next three years
while Dylan here

might decide another director
is better and drop out.

Don't give me that.

Dylan is committed
to this project.

It's the one she wants,

and she's not afraid
to admit that to herself.

Well, it sounds like
this project came along

at the right time in her life.

- It actually did.
- No, you went after it

because that's what you do
when you have passion.

You don't wait
for the right time.

Well, I think it's the right
time you give me a damn number.

You know our number.
We want half.

You want a pillow
and a blanket too?

Because you're dreaming.

You give us a number, then.

5%, not 50%.

That is not
a good-faith offer.

And I'm not here
to negotiate against myself.

Then you can tell your client
he just lost his star.

Can't just walk away
when things get tough, Ricky.

And by the look
on your client's face,

she knows
what I'm talking about.

What?

How would I know
about Rick walking away?

Not Rick. You.

You are not walking away
from this movie,

and we both know it.

Erica's right.
This was a mistake.

I'm gonna go.
- No, wait, I want you to stay.

I have an idea.

I agree you're not moving.

You agree we're not moving.

So we need to make more room.

And how exactly
are we gonna do that?

By taking someone else's
lunch money.

What?

Nothing, just...

all these years, we've never
been in court together.

Except for when you
asked me to watch you

cross-examine Miller
because you thought

it'd make me fall for you.

You knew that?

You told me that.

Did it work?

All right.

It's not usually
my practice to hold

a hearing on a lawsuit on
the day that it's been filed.

Then why are we here,
Your Honor?

Because my client's
reputation has been smeared,

and this case needs
to be dismissed

before any further harm
is caused.

His reputation
hasn't been smeared.

It's been portrayed.
- Watch yourself.

You don't have
a shred of evidence.

I don't know what law school
you went to, but we have

over 50 complaints
lodged against your client

over a 20-year period.

I went to Harvard.

And, Your Honor,
those complaints

were all filed
with the studio,

and not one attempt
has been made

to inform my client
of even one of them.

Because he killed them
in their sleep.

That is slander.

It's not slander
if it's the truth.

And Mr. Jeffers
does not need to be

informed of these complaints

to be held liable
for the harm he caused.

Except for one thing.

My client was
an outside contractor,

and not one of those complaints
came from someone

within his own company.

Without that, they're not worth
the paper they're printed on.

I'm afraid he's right.

You can refile
with admissible evidence,

but for now, this lawsuit
is not moving forward.

If you think
we're gonna let this go--

I don't care
whether you let it go or not.

You made this public,

so you better watch your backs,

because not one of your
clients' projects are safe.

Nice necklace.

I'm sorry
I got you into this.

I'm not.

Now I know what we have to do.

We can't use someone
outside the company,

but we can use someone
on the inside.

Ted, we tried.

He got to everyone
who's ever worked for him.

Not everyone.

Melissa Johnson,
Erica Rollins.

I don't believe
we've had the pleasure.

If you're here with him,
this won't be a pleasure.

You already shoved Dylan Pryor
down my throat.

What are you here for now,

to tell me
who my caterer should be?

Melissa, you can have
any caterer you want.

But you are gonna have
to choke down something else.

I'm not giving up my profit
participation in this movie.

We're not asking you
to give it up.

We're telling you you're
gonna have to share it.

I busted my ass
for the rights to this book,

and I'd sooner
let this movie die

than give up one nickel
of my ownership in it.

Which is why
before we came here,

we took a trip to the head
of the studio's office.

Turns out,
your deal is up in six months,

and Bonnie has incredibly
high hopes for this project.

So if you want
to stay on the lot,

I'd consider sharing
a piece of the pie.

Bonnie wouldn't
do this to me.

Pick up the phone.
Give her a call.

- You think I won't?
- We know you will.

In fact, we're counting on it.

You think she'll cave?

She doesn't have a choice.

Of course she does.
We're bluffing.

Doesn't matter.

She calls, she looks weak,
and she'd rather lose a kidney

than show fear
to Bonnie Harris.

Rick,
about the negotiations...

You were doing your job,

I was doing mine,
so let's leave it at that.

No, I'm not doing it.

Rosalyn, we need somebody
on the inside to come forward.

You said all I had to do
was point you

in the right direction,
and I did.

Well, what do you
want me say?

Avery got to those people.

- Like I told you he would.
- Yes, you did.

But whatever he did to keep
those people from talking,

he can't do that to you.

He already did
something to me.

- I know that.
- No, you don't.

He wasn't just
verbally abusive, OK?

He didn't just
work me to the bone

or throw staplers at my head.

One night, he...

he tried to assault me.

And I got out,
but it made me feel weak,

and it took me ten years
to feel strong again.

I can't believe
I didn't see that.

Because I hid it from you.

But I am not gonna
relive that nightmare

only to see him
weasel out of it

like he always does.

Why didn't you just
tell me at the time?

Because I told someone else,

and they couldn't do anything.

What if I could make it
so that

Avery was never in a position

to have power
over anyone ever again?

By what,
making him lose money?

Even if you win,
it won't stop him.

I'm not going
after his money, Rosalyn.

I'm going after his freedom.

Dylan, hey.

When I said we got
your profit participation,

I didn't mean we had
paperwork to sign.

I'm not here for that.

What are you here for?

I'm signing
with Erica Rollins.

I don't understand.

I got you everything
that you wanted.

But you also said
we can't mix

being together and business.

And if I have to choose between
having you as my attorney

and seeing if there's
something more between us,

I can always get
another lawyer.

OK, look, Dylan,
if you still want to leave

after what I'm gonna say,
I understand,

but I didn't give you
the full story.

The truth is,

I have feelings
for someone else.

Why didn't you
tell me this before?

Because I was embarrassed

because that person
doesn't have feelings for me.

So I'm being rejected
for someone

who doesn't even like you.

It has nothing
to do with you.

Until I'm over her,
I can't be with anybody else.

And I still want you
as a client,

but if you want to go,

I totally understand.

You got a second?

Sure.
What's on your mind?

I wanted to let you know
we took care

of the Sean Baker-Dylan Pryor
situation.

And I not only kept every penny
of Sean's back end,

I re-signed Dylan Pryor.

She's back where she belongs.

You don't seem
overly enthusiastic.

Is this another
Nicole Kidman situation?

Because Dylan came to me.
- It's not that.

I'm thinking about how to...

move forward on something
personal to me.

Well, then
I'll give you some space.

While I have you here,
I could use your advice.

I have to do something,
and Amanda's not gonna like it.

And you want to know
if you should tell her

before you do it.

The answer is yes.

Erica,
she's gonna try to stop me,

and I can't cave on this one.

I get that, but remember what
we said about being a partner?

It doesn't mean
you just do what we want.

It means you're not afraid
to be straight with us.

I wish you gave
better advice.

Do you mean straight like that?

No, I don't.

I'll talk to her, but...

you might be able to help me
with one more thing.

OK, we're here.

What is so important
that you couldn't

discuss it in front of Eddie?

I guess
we're jumping right in.

I told you that
I didn't want to have no one

when I got out of prison,
and I meant it.

So what can I do
to make things right?

If you want to make things
right with me,

you need to start with Eddie.

I'm listening.

For whatever reason,
he is gonna worry

while you're away.

So I would like you
to call him once a week

and just ask him about his day.

And can I call you?

Start with Eddie,
and if you do that,

maybe you and me can... talk.

Can we at least talk now?

Otherwise, this is gonna be
a very boring dinner.

We've already talked about
how we each like our steaks.

Well, we still have
dessert preferences

and the type of bread
that we want and drinks.

Are we ordering drinks?

Sure.

What the hell?

And if you're wondering,
yes, there are egg rolls.

What is going on here?

You did not go to Erica
and find out

my weak spot for no reason.

I have taken a case against
a producer named Avery Jeffers.

- I've heard of him.
- Then you get the picture.

It started off as a lawsuit.

Things took a turn, and the
only way that I see out of it

is to find someone to bring
criminal charges against him.

If you are saying
what I think you're saying,

you can take your egg rolls
and leave right now.

Listen to me,
Elizabeth Smith is the only one

that can put this man down.

That's not true,
and you know it.

Find someone else.
- Like who?

Amanda, name another prosecutor

that will do whatever it takes
to get this guy.

That's exactly the reason
why you can't go to her.

Because she doesn't play
by the rules.

Amanda,
this man is not innocent.

There's still
right and wrong.

And allowing him to keep
doing what he has been doing

is wrong.

You didn't come here
to get my permission.

You came here to tell me
you're doing this

whether I like it or not,
so why come at all?

Because I think of you
as a partner,

and I'm trying
to treat you that way.

You've got one hell
of a way of showing it.

Do you really
want me to say it?

I'm telling you

because I care
what you think about me.

If that is true, you won't go
to Elizabeth Smith.

Stephanie, there's no such
thing as a mercury deficiency.

And even if there were,
putting cod liver oil

in Jackson's coffee
wouldn't be in your purview.

Yes, this is
an official warning.

Idiot.

This is why you're
the right person for the job.

Tact, class, and humor
all in one package.

Well, I'm not gonna file
a complaint against you

for lying.

- We need to talk.
- What's going on?

I'm coming forward
against Avery.

You want me to back you up.

- I need you to back me up.
- Rosalyn--

You're the only person
who was there.

You're the only one who knows.

I wasn't just there.

I lost ten years
of my career

for trying to do
the right thing.

I know that, Marvin,

and I need you to do
the right thing again.

How can you be sure
it's gonna work this time?

Because it's not
just me and you.

Ted is going after him too.

I know you lost those years,
but you're here now.

I made it happen,
and you are not going anywhere.

Then I have something
I need to show you.

You're saying you were there.

It was the city championship,

and my son
was the starting quarterback.

It didn't matter
that you didn't want me there.

I wasn't gonna miss it.

OK, if you were there, then--

You rolled out to your left
on a naked bootleg.

You're supposed to run
for the first down.

But you saw your tight end open
about 20 yards downfield,

so you gave your coach
a heart attack

and threw for a touchdown.

It was the fullback.

No, it was not.

Well done.

I wish I could have told you
how proud I was of you.

Well, you just did.

What?

We're having
such a nice conversation,

I forgot to call Eddie
to check in.

I'm sure he's fine.

That might be him.

Oh.
Hey, what's going on?

Ted, you need to get out
of your apartment right now.

I'm not in my apartment.

Then wherever you are,
you need

to watch your goddamn back.

Kevin, what's going on?

I think Pellegrini
put a hit on you,

and I think
it's coming tonight.

- Eddie's in my apartment.
- Eddie.

All right, look, Teddy, get
there as soon as you can, OK?

I'm in the car.
I'll call him.

I'll meet you there.

- What's going on?
- It's Eddie.

Please, Eddie, pick up.

No questions.

♪ Breaking

- No! No!
- No! Teddy, no. No!

Eddie!

What are you doing here?

I need your help.

With directions to the exit?

'Cause that's the only help
you're getting from me.

Avery Jeffers is a producer.

I know who he is.

Then you know he has
a history of abusive behavior,

and I got someone
to come forward.

- No.
- Are you not gonna do this

because you're a sore loser?

I'm not going to do it
because this isn't enough.

I thought you were
better than this.

Better?
We just went to war,

and you got your girlfriend
to take the stand

and call me a piece of filth.

You and I are cut
from the same cloth.

We like to put
the bad guys away.

- Get out of my office.
- No.

Because I heard you

when you spoke
about the victim's father

in the Dante Everson case.

You care about justice.

I also care about my career,

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

That's right. You think
I wouldn't look you up?

You took down John Pellegrini,

and ten minutes later,
you were out of a job.

I risked a hell of a lot more
than my career.

I risked my life.

They tried to kill me.

They missed.

And they killed my brother.

You're not making
a case for me to do this.

Elizabeth, this is not that.

I'm not asking you
to put him away.

I'm just asking you
to hear me out.

You get it done?

Yes, I did, and it's
on its way to Ted as we speak.

I knew you were
the man for the job.

All right, bill me whatever.

Ah, it's on the house.

- Kevin.
- Stuart, please.

It's the best thing
you could have done

with that man's money.

I'm not gonna
charge you for it.

You think Ted'll like it?

Think he'll love it.

Ted's lucky to have you
as a friend.

Yeah, he's lucky
to have us both.

Where the hell were you?

- Ted.
- It was his funeral.

I needed you there,
and you didn't even--

- Teddy, I got arrested.
- What?

I went to see
Vinnie Santoro,

and I beat
the living hell out of him.

But before I could kill him,
the police pulled me off.

So Santoro is the one--

We'll never prove it,
but yeah, he's the one.

I'm sorry I wasn't there
for you, Ted.

- I gotta go.
- Go? Go where?

You're not the only one who
didn't show up for the funeral.

Where were you?

- Teddy.
- Your son died.

They move the day when you need
to leave and go to prison,

and you can't make it
to the funeral?

I should have been there.

I just--I--
I couldn't.

Because you never
thought of him as a son.

- That's not fair.
- What, then?

Because I can't think
of another goddamn reason--

You knew what they
were gonna do.

What the hell
are you talking about?

You asked us both
out to dinner,

and you changed your mind
at the last second.

Teddy--

And you hugged him
before we left.

You never hugged him
a day in his life.

- That is not true.
- Why'd you change your mind?

Why?

I did it to protect you.

They were gonna
set that bomb off,

and if I hadn't done
what I did,

you both would have died.

Not if you'd told me!

They weren't gonna stop
until they killed someone.

So you let them kill him?

- I had to make a choice.
- You murdered him!

You want to rip me
to pieces, you go right ahead.

But I did what I did.
You're still alive.

And I do not regret it.

Go rot in prison.

Never contact me.

Never write me.
Never think of me.

As far as I am concerned,
you're dead.

You think we have enough?

I think that we're doing this
whether we have enough or not.

- Yes.
- Yes what?

You asked me in court
if watching you work

made me fall for you.

Yes. It did.

Then or now?

Avery, thanks for coming.

Please, I'm always happy
to have LA's

top entertainment lawyers
grovel at my feet.

Then I'm afraid you came
to the wrong conference room.

Were you not
in that courtroom?

You have nothing.

Yeah, see, all those people
were outsiders.

We got ourselves an insider.

Hello, Avery.
Remember me?

I remember when I hired you,

you signed an ironclad NDA.

Then it's a good thing
NDAs don't apply

to criminal charges.

And if you think I'm afraid
to testify against you,

you are dead wrong.

Go ahead.

My people will
rip you to pieces.

They might, if we didn't have
contemporaneous notes

from your former
head of human resources.

Does the name Marvin Semple
ring a bell?

I'll give you a hint.

He's a man who always
keeps his receipts.

This is every complaint
Marvin ever took

that you thought you buried.

And in case you forgot,
I'm a prosecutor.

You were a prosecutor, Ted.

You're not one anymore.

He's not, but I am.

And here is an advance copy
of tomorrow's "LA Times."

Front page:
Avery Jeffers arrested

on charges of sexual assault.

You know what?
I do remember Marvin Semple.

And every one
of those lies he told

is more than ten years old,

which puts them past
the statute of limitations.

Tomorrow's headline
isn't about statutes.

It's about you being arrested.

And when people see that,

they're gonna come running
to testify against you.

In case you didn't know,
Elizabeth isn't afraid

to play just
a little bit dirty.

May I?
- Please, go right ahead.

This is a one-time offer.

You resign today,

plead guilty to one count
of sexual assault,

Elizabeth will never prosecute,
and that article

will never see
the light of day.

You're bluffing.
You won't charge me.

I might win and I might lose,

but I never bluff.

You're found guilty
for even one count,

you go to prison for ten years.

Yeah, one more thing.

Tomorrow morning,
she's gonna use that

to register you
as a sexual offender.

No way in hell you are.

That agreement
doesn't give you that right.

Then sue me.

I'm sure you'll find
a jury that will

award you plenty of damages.

Like I said, she's not afraid
to play a little bit dirty.

We might not have been able
to take away your freedom,

but we sure as hell
just took away your power.

Now get your ass
out of my law firm.

Teddy.

Ah, it's good to see you.

How you holding up?
- Kevin, why am I here?

They're kicking me out
the bureau for beating Santoro.

That doesn't explain
why I'm here.

My father offered me a job.

And since you're
currently unemployed,

I thought you might want
to join me.

In what capacity?
I'm not a detective.

I don't know,
but we make a good team.

I don't want to work
for your father, Kevin.

Oh, come on, Teddy.

Why you doing this?

You want me to say it?

I suspected
they might be planning

on coming after you earlier.

I didn't warn you because
I didn't have confirmation.

And I feel guilty about Eddie.

Kevin, if you're looking
for me to tell you

that it's not your fault,

I don't have it in me
to do that right now.

I'll see you when I see you.

Don't you put
Eddie's death on me.

You know, you--
you just told me

that if you had
warned me sooner,

maybe we could've stopped this.

So I'm not putting it on you.

It's on you.

Ted, what can I do for you?

I wanted to thank you
for your gift.

I don't know what to say.

Well, whatever it is,
say it to your boy Stuart.

It was his idea.

But as long
as we're yapping,

I've been doing
a lot of thinking.

If that job offer
is still open,

I want to take it.

You sure you want to do that?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm sure.

Well, Kevin...

I have been doing
some thinking too.

The reason that I let you
blame yourself back then

is because...

I told Eddie that I was gonna
call and check in,

and I never did.

I felt guilty,
and I took it out on you.

That's pretty insightful.

Now, who figured it out
for you?

Because I know
you didn't do it by yourself.

I don't want you
to come out here after all.

I didn't feel like
coming anyway.

I'll see you
when you get here.

Not if I see you first.

Wait, you're still coming, right?

If you'll have me, buddy.

Do you have a minute?

That depends
on whether or not

you were gonna come down on me
because I did, in fact,

go see Elizabeth Smith.

I know.

I also know that you did it
for Rosalyn.

But even if you didn't
do it for her,

it was the right call.

Apology accepted.

I didn't say I'm sorry.

No...

But you meant it.

I did.

And for the record,

I care about what you think
about me too,

which is actually why I'm here.

I might have made a mistake
when I said I couldn't be

head of criminal
and get involved.

Yeah,
you made a huge mistake.

I've been dying
to tell you that.

Mm, so...

should we go
get a drink tonight?

Amanda, there's nothing
that I would rather do,

but I can't tonight.

I gotta go see someone and...

yeah.

Tomorrow?

If you want that,
come and find me.

Hey.

How'd you know
how it went down with Smith?

I ran into Samantha Railsback
as she was leaving.

Impressive woman.

She's not the only one.

Ted, hey.

I'm guessing you got
the package from Kevin.

And I'm guessing

this is what you did
with my father's estate.

I remember
you told me you used

to go to that park
with Eddie as kids

and how much he loved it.

Figured renaming it,
expanding it

was the perfect way
to spend that man's money.

I'll tell you
what I told Kevin.

I don't know what to say.

If you don't know what to say
to that, I got a doozy for you.

The only thing is,
I can't remember

if Lane was gonna be first
or last on the letterhead.

Are you saying
what I think you're saying?

I never should have
cut you out in the first place.

What do you say we go ahead
with the merger after all?

Erica, what are you--

What the hell
did you say about me?

What are you talking about?

Dylan Pryor made it
crystal clear

that she wants me
to represent her.

Then she goes to tell you,

changes her mind,
and won't tell me why.

And I want to know
what you said.

That's none of your business.

It is my business if you're
out there bad-mouthing me.

- Get the hell out of my house.
- No.

You've been punishing me
since that night.

You made the negotiation
personal,

and now you're coming
after my reputation?

- I would never do that.
- Then what the hell happened?

- Erica--
- Tell me!

You want to know?
She kissed me.

- What?
- Yeah.

She wanted to be with me,
and I said no

because I'm her lawyer.

So she went to sign with you,
and then she came back to me,

thinking that we
could be together.

So I told her the truth,
that I can't be with her

because I'm still hung up
on somebody else.

She threw herself at me,
and I didn't care

because...

I can't get over you.

But you're so scared
to take a chance on me

because you're afraid
of getting hurt.

Samantha.

Is this a coincidence?

No, it's not.

What did you say
to Stuart's offer?

Well, I asked him
if you knew,

and he said
that you were good with it.

And?

I told him that I needed

some more time
to think about it.

Anything I can do to help you
make that decision?

You may have implied

that you're falling
for me again.

Why do you want to merge now?

Because I'm not afraid of
mixing business and personal.

What if I'm not ready?

You mean,
what if you might have feelings

for Amanda Stevens?

What if I did?

I'm not afraid of messy, Ted.

What's the worst
that could happen?

Then I'm in.

And we are gonna make it
to the other side,

or we are gonna drive
right off a bridge.

Either way,

it's gonna be a hell of a ride.
