All language subtitles for Matlock (2024) - 02x09 - Collateral.ETHEL.English.C.orig.Addic7ed.com

The law firm Jacobson Moore

hid documents that could've
taken opioids off the market

ten years earlier.

Think of how many lives
that could've saved,

including our daughter's.

Thanks for letting
me e-mail with Alfie.

It's been really cool.

Getting to know his father

has meant a great deal to him.

Why are you hiding

a missing Wellbrexa study
about opioids?

Matty took the document

out of the building
to bring it to the Times.

Julian, stop. This is too much.

Eva's ready to stage the coup

if I can secure the votes needed
from New York.

A coup?

Well, the law firm Lamar and Olson

want to merge.

My dad had a stroke.

Senior asked me to do him a favor.

To take pictures of Julian's datebook.

Nothing like this
will ever, ever happen again.

I know it won't, Sarah,
because I am going to move you

off my team.

You hold on to this.

What if Senior's not fit
to stand trial?

Then, I hope to
God you do not turn in Julian.

I need an Adam and Eve, wreck 'em.

And a shingle
with a shimmy and a shake,

and 86 the cow grease.

Scrambled eggs coming right up.

Jam on that toast, Alfie.

On it. And, ew, cow grease, bruh?

Slang for butter, bruh.

Oh, no, don't 86 that.
I want the butter.

We're trying to get Joey hired
as a line cook,

not gum up your arteries.

Don't talk back, ma'am.

The customer is always right.

Okay. Step it up, chef.

I got a crabby old geezer
breathing down my neck.

Toast up.

Order up.

Two eggs, scrambled,
and toast with jam.

Wow.

Good texture.

Mm, good taste. If you had just

whisked the yolks
about another 15 seconds,

the whole thing would be lighter.

It's a diner on the Lower East Side.

He's going for fast and hot.

- Oh, very hot, and it's very fast.
- Perfect.

And on that note,
I should get to work.

Good luck today, Joey.

And, uh, we'll see you
here tomorrow night

- for your birthday dinner.
- Can't wait.

Uh, and I actually just heard
my sister and her family

will be in town last minute.

- Any chance they could join?
- Uh...

- Um...
- Don't worry.

I'm the only degenerate in the family.

Laura's the middle school teacher.

Her husband's a detective.

- A de... a detective. Wow.
- Wow.

What do you think of that, Madeline?

Well, uh...

I can't detect any reason to say no.

Oh.

Oh.

Hi, Dad.

Do you know who this is, Mr. Markston?

Son.

Exactly.

And he's a good one.
Been here every day.

I... I...

- I...
- It's okay.

Your words will return.
His blood vessels

are very delicate right now,
so we want to keep him calm.

- No stress.
- Okay, got it.

I... I...

Hey, it's okay.
You're doing great, Dad.

Love...

I love...

I-I-I love you, too, Dad.

I don't love dinner with a detective.

You gonna have the FBI over
for dessert, too?

Well, I didn't have a choice.
I mean, the look

- on Alfie's face, it...
- Well,

see if he's got any tips

on how to infiltrate
the Sydney Opera House.

They didn't fall
for your auditor routine?

I went with panicked associate.

Speaking of a panicked associate.

Since Billy is taking time off...

Matty, stop.

I'm not giving Sarah her job back.

She kept something huge from me.

She feels terrible, Olympia.

So do I, but I need people
around me I can trust.

Trust is everything.

Son, I'm gonna have to hang
a bell around your neck.

Sorry. Could I grab Olympia?

Oh, sure.

I'll get ready for that meeting
with Jack Alvarez.

He lands in 15.

Oh, actually, this might
take a while. Family stuff.

Prep Jack on the proceedings,

and if he gets upset that I'm
not there, redirect to his kids.

It'll make him happy, guaranteed.

He must not have teenagers.
See you later.

How's your dad doing?

There will be a lot of physical
therapy, speech therapy,

but overall, really well.

That's a relief.

Yeah, I know.

Um...

Olympia, I can't put him in jail.

- What?
- Belvin has an NDA,

no one else is coming out
of the woodwork.

We don't know that.

We do. This thing happened
almost 15 years ago.

Let's put it to bed. Please.

I want another chance
with my dad, okay?

Look, and I-I hear you, but...

What? He's an old man.

Our kids' grandfather.
You really want to see him

- sitting in jail?
- Let me just think about it.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Need to check with Matty?

What? Why do I need to talk to Matty?

Stop. Stop. Stop.

I followed you back to the brownstone,

and I saw you give her the study.

- Julian...
- And yesterday,

I met with my lawyer,

so I know my nuclear option.

There is no need for a nuclear option.

- Okay? Just let me explain.
- That I was right?

That Matty and Belvin
were working together,

and you gaslit me into thinking
that I was paranoid.

Because Matty wanted to put you
in jail at first,

and I convinced her
to focus on your father.

And y-yes, I-I gave her

the study as collateral to stop
her from going to the D.O.J.

Okay? To-to assure her
that there would be justice.

Ever since I found out you did this,

I have been trying to protect you.

And that is the honest to God's truth.

Hiya.

So what did Olympia say about my job?

Whoa, Nellie. Back up
a little bit, sweetheart.

You're triggering

- my fight or flight.
- Sorry.

Um, Olympia needs a little more time.

There is no time.

Matty, I need to be
attached to someone.

Layoff Barbie is here.

Layoff who now?

Well, that's what I nicknamed
her on Slack. Gwen something.

She's here from Lamar and Olson

to evaluate personnel
ahead of the merger.

And she is coming.
Look down and look busy.

- Matty.
- Yeah?

The city's settlement came in
on Daniel Pearson way too low.

Hi! Didn't see you there.

Don't want to interrupt,
just introducing myself around.

I am Gwen Easton, head
of personnel at Lamar and Olson.

Trying to get a sense

of the who's who and the what's what

as we combine into one
lean, mean legal machine.

Love that. Hi. I'm Sarah Franklin.

- Nice to meet you.
- Oh.

You gave me the nickname on Slack.

You have access to Slack?

Swung by the floater pool.

What are those blood-thirsty
fish, that swim around...

- Sharks.
- Not sharks.

Anyway, doesn't matter.

Floater pool has the scoop.

- Hey, I-I'm really sorry.
- It was a... bad joke.

No problem. Jokes make my job easier.

I know who to target with
my heat-seeking missile of doom.

Ha! That was a joke, too.

Ha.

I promise, I am not here
to fire anyone.

I just make recommendations

based on observable redundancies.

And you must be Matty Matlock.

Sure am. And whatever you heard,

it never happened,
and it 'tweren't me.

And funny to boot. I like that.

Now, where is Billy Martinez?

Out sick. Very, very sick. Vomiting

- and he...
- And we've got him covered.

Yay. So no need for him
to return. Job eliminated.

Oh, oh, uh...

Kidding again.

I'm gonna keep introducing myself.

- It was nice to meet you two.
- Usually three.

Now do you see why I was panicked?

Okay, I'll see what I can do,
after I meet with Jack Alvarez.

What do you mean Olympia isn't coming?

It's a personal emergency.

Believe you me, Mr. Alvarez,

if she had any concerns
about your case, she'd be here.

And legally, it's pretty boring.
Boring's a blessing.

Remind myself every day
about that raising a teenager.

Um, how old are your kids again?

Uh, my daughter's 13, my son is ten,

and did Olympia tell you
to bring them up

so I'm not so grumpy?

Yeah, she sure did, but that

doesn't mean
I don't want to see pictures.

All right. Fair enough.

That is Luca,

and that is Aliana.

Well, you tell these two gorgeous kids

the terms of your
federal grant are clear.

I mean, as long as you're
hitting your emissions goals,

the government has to fund the
expansion of your solar farms.

So, we'll get an injunction based on

promissory estoppel.

That's, uh, lawyer talk for

"Screw y'all, give us our money."

Excuse me.

Perfect timing.

What's going on with Julian?

Quite a bit, actually.

Have a seat, Matty.

No, don't look at Olympia.

I know her version of events.
I want to hear yours.

Events concerning...?

Let's start with why Olympia
gave you the Wellbrexa study.

The-the what?

- He...
- Shh.

Why don't you put your phone
on the table,

face up, so I know
you're not recording,

and tell me what you think you know.

All righty.

No. Turn around.

If what you told me is true,
what's the problem?

Go on, Matty. Start at the beginning.

You were right.

Emmalyn Belvin told me
what was going on.

- When?
- When?

Yeah, when did she tell you?

Right before she got fired.

Unbelievable.

Maybe I got my timing wrong, Julian.

What just happened?

I said Belvin read you in
after she was fired.

Okay.

We can't wait any longer.
We have to turn Julian in.

- We can't.
- He's a loose cannon.

Aimed at me. He's already lawyered up,

and he is ready to take me down

with him if we turn him in
to the D.O.J.

And the circumstantial evidence
is bad.

I worked on Wellbrexa with him.
I was at the bank.

Then, I go and get a safe

- installed in my home.
- Okay. Calm down.

We'll think of something else, okay?

- Okay.
- We'll-we'll lay a trap for him.

Or... we tell him the truth.

About?

Who you are. Your daughter.

N-N-No.

We got caught in a lie
because we're lying.

If we tell Julian
what's really behind it,

he'll understand why I lied,
what all this means to you.

Or he'll panic,
and he'll tell his father.

Not with their history, I promise you.

Senior has screwed him over
too many times.

Are you 100% sure about that?

Then it's too big of a risk.

All right. Okay.

Senior just woke up.
We have a little bit of time

to figure this out.

We need a way to guarantee that
Julian's choosing us over him.

A real reason. Concrete.

Well, just give him back the study.

He'll know that you made a copy.

You have a loaded gun, he needs one.

Some kind of collateral.

I-I-I know what to give him.

- Hey there.
- Hi.

Kids had no school, and Rachel thought

they'd like to see
the legal system in action.

Jack Alvarez.
Hands behind your back, please.

Whoa. Excuse me. I am his
attorney. What is this about?

- One second. What's happening?
- Wait. Mom, what's happening?

Immigration and Customs
Enforcement. Step back.

- What are you doing? - What's going on?
- He's an American citizen.

- I can assure you he's not.
- Where are you taking him?

- Please.
- Excuse me.

Do not touch me.

Okay, I just spoke
with our top immigration attorney.

He already has a call into DHS.

In the meantime, you need
to tell us everything, Rachel.

Jack knew his parents
were undocumented, but

he thought he was born here.

He learned he wasn't
when he applied for college, but

he was scared.
He didn't want to expose them.

When did you find out?

Right before we got married.

We consulted lawyers,

but if he tried to get
citizenship through me,

it would put his family
on their radar, and

there was no way to guarantee

that he wouldn't be deported,
or them, and...

it just, um...

Felt like too much of a risk?

Exactly.

Our whole life was at stake.

We thought that if he paid taxes,

followed the law,
gave back to the community...

Well, we convinced ourselves
this would never happen.

Hidey-ho.

I had a few follow-up questions
about workflow.

Oh, sure. I just, I have a meeting,

so I don't have a ton of time.

Oh, if I take a ton of time,

then I am not a very good
efficiency expert, am I?

I'll walk you there.

So, you and Matty and Billy
all support Olympia?

We sure do.

Could she make do with two people?

If one of you takes
the generous severance package

being offered...?

Unfortunately,
that's not going to happen.

We're all very devoted to
Jacobson Moore and to Olympia.

Oh, gotcha. Well, it's worth the ask.

Thanks for the intel.

My pleasure.

Is that your meeting?

Yes. I should probably go in.

Oh, go ahead.

Okay. I will.

- Talk soon.
- Definitely.

- Bye.
- Bye.

As soon as we
locate Jack, our next step will be

to arrange a bond hearing.

He has strong community ties
and a low flight risk.

Did you need something?

Just to apologize.

For being late.
Um, I'm Sarah Franklin.

Uh, Rachel, since we can't talk

with Jack, you'll need
to fill us in on his history.

Yes, okay. I've
just got to get my kids home.

My mom's meeting them there.

Uh, I can take them if it will help.

Uh, it would actually.

Is that okay?

Um, just... Let's talk logistics.

Okay.

- What the hell was that?
- Desperation.

The Lamar and Olson efficiency expert

is circling like a vulture.

- Sarah...
- Please.

I know I'm off the team,

but she's talking
about severance packages,

and you know I can research,
and it's all hands on deck.

Fine.

Drive the kids home.

And I need that writ of habeas corpus.

And do not look so happy.

This is temporary.

How long do you
have to stay in Queens?

I don't know.

Olympia has to convince Julian
to align with us.

And she's got an idea
about collateral.

But until that happens,
I mean, he could

follow me home to Westchester.

- Oof.
- Yeah, makes sense.

Listen, I know you're
gonna be disappointed,

but I think we should push
Joey's birthday dinner.

We knew you'd say that,

but Grandpa and I
discussed it already.

First, you can't push a birthday.

And my cousin and I have been talking,

and we're gonna play
Silksong together.

We can handle the dinner.

With a detective?

Well, he's not gonna show up
with a basset hound

and a magnifying glass.

We'll just get our stories straight.

It'll be a piece of cake.

- Birthday cake.
- Well...

we should go over the plan.

We will, don't worry. Love you.

- Bye.
- Love you.

Mm. I love you, too.

- Hi.
- Olympia.

I'm just calling
to check on the collateral.

Yes, I have it. Sorry I didn't text,

but we just located Jack,
and the government's already

initiated their removal proceedings.

Oh, God. No.

Yeah.

Your Honor, Jack Alvarez
is a perfect candidate

for cancellation of removal.

To qualify, he has to show
good moral character.

Exhibit A.
Testimonials from neighbors.

Records of charitable donations.

Studies showing that his company,

SolarCanyon Group,
has created hundreds of jobs.

Well, this is pretty impressive.

Any response, counselor?

No, Your Honor.

Can't wait to see
what's in that second binder.

Exhibit B.

Proof of extreme hardship
should Jack be deported.

Affidavits from psychologists

attesting to the irreparable trauma

that Jack's children would suffer.

Well, this seems
to satisfy both prongs.

I just have one exhibit in response.

We're eco-friendly at the D.O.J.

In 1993, Jack Alvarez pled guilty

to burglary in the third degree.

It was sealed.

As I'm sure the court is aware,

burglary is a crime
involving moral turpitude.

An absolute bar
to cancellation of removal.

Your Honor, the government
is unsealing a document

for the first time so that

I'm at a disadvantage.
I request a recess

so that we can examine
the underlying elements

of this particular conviction.

You've got 24 hours.

The Immigration Detention
Center is still denying us

- access to Jack.
- Rachel doesn't know all the details,

but she said Jack was arrested

after a peaceful college protest.

So, we have to piece together
exactly what happened.

I did. Here's the police report.

Basically, there was a sit-in
at the chancellor's office

to try to stop the university

from buying merchandise
from sweatshops.

Jack was the organizer,
cops were called,

he pled guilty
to third-degree burglary.

Probably because he knew that,
if he fought the case,

his immigration status
would be revealed.

Exactly, but I did
a deep dive into CIMTs...

crimes involving moral turpitude...

and if we can prove
that Jack's conduct wasn't

"vile, base, or depraved,"
the burglary won't qualify.

Unfortunately, the cops
from 32 years ago are retired.

- Damn it.
- But I found someone

who was there that night,
and he remembers what happened.

And he's coming in.

Okay.

I know it must seem like
I'm a crazy stalker,

but I promise I'm not.

Which I guess

is what a crazy stalker would say.

I just wanted to get my notes right

'cause I swung by
the floater pool again...

- Oh, no.
- Oh, yes.

They sure do track rumors down there.

Much like those fish that circle
up when they smell blood...

- Sharks.
- Not sharks. Anyhow, you're no longer working

for Olympia, according to the...

monkfish.

Really sharp little teeth.

Right.

Well, I don't know

what the monkfish in the floater
pool said, but it is not true.

- Oh.
- I am definitely still working with Olympia.

Terrific. Phew.

Then she won't mind
signing this document

formally acknowledging your position.

Thanks.

Oh, yeah. Busted a lot of crime.

Primarily bike theft.

In my 40-plus years
as a campus security guard,

I probably spent 20 of them
writing up reports

about bike theft.

Send your kids to college
with a titanium U-lock.

- Got it?
- How old do you think I am?

Um, so how in the world can you
remember that particular night?

Because when I first got the call

to go to the chancellor's,

I thought it was about hanky-panky.

That was the other half of my job.

Policing the hanky-panky.

Used to find kids in the quad,
in the stacks,

the chem lab.

- So the night of the sit-in?
- Right.

I was expecting to find a 1010.

That's the security code for...

Hanky-panky.

Bingo.

That's usually what I'd find
at the chancellor's.

That's why I remember this night.

Did you see any crimes
being committed?

- Any theft? Violence?
- Nope.

Kids were just hanging out
in the living room.

I'll take that over

a 1010 in the mashed potatoes any day.

There was a living room
in the chancellor's office?

The chancellor's office

is inside the chancellor's residence.

It's a home office.

So the sit-in took place in his home?

If it's at a residence,

it's a crime of moral turpitude
no matter what.

You got your old office back?

Wow. Let me guess,

your dad reinstated you
to senior associate.

Makes sense. He had a health
scare. He's feeling vulnerable,

so now, he's leaning on you.

- It won't last, Julian.
- You should go.

He is the same man who
looked you in the eyes and said,

"What document?"

And you're the same woman
who lied to my face for months.

That's why I'm giving you this.

Security footage from the bank
when we were in the vault.

The proof you need
to build your case against me.

How'd you get it?

I told the bank that I lost a necklace

and needed to establish

when I wore it last
for insurance reasons.

Call it collateral. A loaded gun.

Which is more than what
your dad will give you.

But even if you don't trust me,
trust that.

No.

Uh, we don't need to rehearse
the cover story.

It's detective-proof. Trust me.

Trust but verify.

We moved here from San Francisco...

I've got it, Madeline.

Actors get stale

when they've been over-rehearsed.

I just keep thinking of all the ways

this could go wrong.

Well, thank you
for the vote of confidence.

Oh, they're here.

I got to go.

Hello, Julian.

Olympia wants me to trust her.

Gave me collateral,

but here's the thing,
I don't trust you.

You want collateral from me?

I guess I could sign over my

- luxurious apartment.
- I'm not in the mood for jokes.

I have questions.

- Are you recording?
- You don't get to ask them.

Why should I trust you?

Because I hacked
into Belvin's computer

and put in backdated texts.

That's illegal.

So, there, you got collateral on me.

How exactly did you put in
those backdated texts?

- I hired a hacker.
- Get the hacker on the phone.

He used a burner phone,
said the number

- wouldn't work after.
- Then how did you get

in contact him in the first place?

Through Alfie's Discord gamer network.

Let's call Alfie.

- Such a beautiful home.
- Aw, thank you.

Uh, so dinner's almost ready.

Can I get you a drink?

One second.

- Sorry, it's Grammy Matty.
- Oh, no problem.

What's up?

Could you hook me up with that hacker

that you found for my case?

I can try, but he's
a little hard to reach.

Can we talk hackers at home?

Bathroom's, uh...

Sure.

Got to go.

Why are you talking about hackers?

That's the how. Now,

- why did you hire the hacker?
- Excuse me?

You came to Jacobson Moore
because you needed money

to raise your grandson, most
important person in your life.

Yet, you risked your livelihood,

so I'm asking you, why?

The "why" is the reason I became
a lawyer in the first place.

Justice is important.

And taking that study
out of discovery was wrong.

We're lawyers.

We swore an oath
to uphold the law, not break it.

Hey, Dad.

Julian.

- You look good.
- Liar.

You look better.

You know you didn't have to
give me my old position back.

Never... sh-should...

It's okay, Dad, just relax.

Hate relax.

Yeah.

Uh, well, good,

because there is something that
I want to talk to you about.

O-O-O-Olympia.

You're always steps ahead.
Um, Olympia is a part of it.

Julian, are you ratting me out?

Because I was going to tell him,
just not yet.

The doctor said no stress.

Welcome back.

Mwah. I missed you.

And the-the kids
can't wait to hug you.

Uh, tell what?

The way that this merger is unfolding

is creating a culture of fear,

and I have been charged
with speaking to you.

- Oh.
- Lamar and Olson

need to slow down, build trust.

- I'll e-mail.
- Thank you.

The kids are dying to see their
grandpa. If you're up for it?

Kids.

Hi, Grandpa.

- Yeah. Hey.
- I missed you.

Using our kids?

I'm protecting our kids

from you blowing up their lives

by telling your dad what's going on

when you know that's a bad move.

I only have bad moves. Matty is lying.

- She's not.
- She is.

You talked me out
of trusting my gut before,

I'm not doing it again.

And look, I believe

that you don't want me in jail,

but you have a blind spot with Matty.

No one risks everything

for some vague sense of justice.

And the hacker isn't
some kid in a basement.

This is someone
who's breaking into a law firm.

That is sophisticated.

And it's also expensive.
You've been to her place,

where is she getting
that kind of money?

- I don't know.
- Exactly.

So, maybe there's other stuff
you don't know about.

Like, maybe there's someone
behind her,

someone with resources.

Another law firm, or a family
from the original lawsuit.

Or maybe she's gone to the D.O.J.

- and she's wearing a wire.
- She's not wearing...

The-the point is,
there are too many unknowns.

At least with my father,
I know what I'm getting.

And it's not good. And if Matty's

going to the D.O.J.,
you better get a jump on him

because if they are opening up a case,

he is saving his ass
over yours, every time.

Did I cover okay with Julian?

You were perfect.

Uncle Patrick overheard
the hacker thing,

but I said it was for your work
and he bought it.

Oh, okay, good. How was your cousin?

Oh, it was awesome. And Aunt Laura

invited me to come stay at their
cabin for a week in the summer.

Oh. Their cabin.

Yeah, on a lake they said, no screens.

And Joey got the job.

So can I go to the cabin?

Let's get more details, okay?

Okay. I'm gonna send you pictures.

- Good night.
- Good night, my darling.

- Hey. Brought some dinner.
- Oh.

And we might have
another problem with Senior.

Everything okay?

Oh, yeah, um... Sorry, I was just, um,

I was looking at some pictures

from Joey's birthday dinner.

Right. The detective.

How did that go?

- Really well. Yeah.
- Yeah?

So what's going on then?

Oh, I don't know.

I-I think I just...

I was so focused on what would
happen if things went wrong,

that I didn't think about

what would happen
if things went right.

Alfie's not just ours anymore.

Might be better for him.

Oh, it'll definitely be
better for him.

But for me, it'll be...

it'll be a loss.

I just have to...

...give up some control,

which is not my strong suit.

- You don't say.
- Oh, hush.

Okay, now, what is the issue
with Senior?

Julian was
about to tell him everything.

I interrupted,

covered, not sure if he bought it.

- Oh, no.
- Yes.

But then, Julian and I talked.

Good news, the collateral
worked, he trusts me.

But he does not trust you.
He's given me one day to get

some real answers from you;

the truth of who is Matty Matlock,

who is funding you,
why you care so much.

Well, we'll figure out answers.

The only answer is Madeline Kingston.

No. The collateral worked for you.

I just have to find a way
to convince him to trust me,

and-and we'll figure out Senior, too.

Julian gave you a day,

give me a day.

- Is that the subway?
- Uh-oh.

We've got a 1010 hanky-panky
in progress.

A what?

Oh, that's right, you missed Norm.

It turns out,
our college security officer

spent his time busting students

for doing the hanky-panky

in the chancellor's residence.

You have some very thin walls.

Thank God you don't
live here full-time.

Wait a minute.

How did the security bust
students for the hanky-panky

in the chancellor's residence,
if the chancellor lived there?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

Well...

we might not have a way out,
but Jack sure does.

Matter of Louissant. 2009.
Board of Immigration Appeals

ruled that burglary is only
a crime of moral turpitude

when the building being broken
into is an occupied dwelling.

Your client broke into
the chancellor's residence.

Which was not being used
as a residence

by this specific chancellor.

He had a penthouse in Lenox Hill
that he lived in

for all 16 years of his tenure.
Here you go.

Property taxes, voter registrations,

and a sworn affidavit
by Chancellor Doran's widow.

They never moved into the residence.

It was too stuffy.

Hence, there is no crime
of moral turpitude here.

Jack is entitled
to a cancellation of removal.

There is some ambiguity
in New York's definition

of an occupied dwelling.

If the chancellor
spent one night there...

Interesting how the law suddenly
gets a lot more flexible

when it suits your position.

Enough.

Compelling argument, Ms. Lawrence,

but there are a lot
of factors to consider.

You'll have my decision tomorrow.

Let's talk.

Stokes doesn't want to lose this,

bad precedent,
so they're offering you a deal.

- You get to stay in the country.
- What's the catch?

There's no path to citizenship.

And the government
won't let you profit

off of what they're calling
your "citizenship fraud."

Meaning,

you'll have to resign
from SolarCanyon,

and you'll be prohibited
from employment

with any federal contractor.

That's every job in my industry.

I know.

And of course, the government

won't fulfill your solar contract.

We'd officially lose the injunction.

And they're asking for

restitution
to the tune of six million.

That's more than we have.

With no future earning potential.

So what's the alternative?

We wait for the judge's ruling,

but it is a big gamble.

If we lose, you will be
deported immediately.

Possibly to a third country,

where you don't speak the language.

We'd have very little control.

We were so naive to think
this wouldn't come out.

We had only bad options then.

We didn't know they'd get worse.

There's only one choice.

I'll take the deal.

At least their family
will stay intact.

Sarah, Matty and I
need to talk in private.

Could you go back to the firm
and close out Jack's file?

Sure, um...

There's just one thing.

Um...

This form.

For the Lamar and Olson
redundancy analysis.

Basically, it states
that I still work for you.

I know that you said
this was temporary,

but I also know that,
if you give me a second chance,

I will never betray your trust again.

I need to think about it.

Of course.

You don't think Sarah
deserves a second chance?

For the good of the team?

I mean, there is no one on this planet

who researches like...

What?

If it were that easy to focus
on "the good of the team,"

you'd read Julian in to everything.

That is not the same thing at all.

He is going to tell Senior
this afternoon.

And here's how we stop him.

This is a notarized affidavit

saying that I forced Alfie
to hire a hacker

to breach Jacobson Moore's firewall.

Definitely a crime of moral turpitude,

and one that guarantees
I will lose custody

of the most important person
in my life.

Are you sure you want to give
Julian this type of ammo?

It's not real.

If Julian calls the notary,

- the number goes to Edwin.
- Matty.

Didn't you hear all the things
we just talked about with Jack?

He's your cautionary tale.

You are asking me
to risk losing everything.

Oh, hey. Olympia around?

She's still in court.

Are you okay?

Oh, yeah. Just, uh...

headed down to the floater pool,

which is basically
Jacobson Moore sewage.

And unfortunately, I've said that

to the floater pool
in the past, so it's...

it's gonna be ugly down there.

Did Olympia kick you off her team?

- Yes, but...
- She is out of her mind.

No. No, she's not.

And you are not allowed to cheer me up

because you're the reason
that I deserve this.

A couple months ago,
your father asked me

to take pictures of your datebook.

Which I did.

Whoa.

I know. I'm sorry.

Uh...

That's, um...

Really bad, I know.

I just...

I couldn't say no to him.

Would you do it again? If he asked?

Never.

Because I was just actually

reinstated as a senior associate,

and I'm looking to beef up my team,

so let me see that form.

What?

I believe in second chances,

so I'm giving you one.

I got your collateral on Matty.
Check your e-mail.

I'll bring you the hard copy.

So this is real?

Call the notary, ask.

I drove her myself last night.

The place is two blocks
from her apartment in Queens.

I'll think about it.

Hey, Annie. Court left his backpack

in Olympia's car.
Could I grab her keys?

Yeah, sure.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Westchester, not Queens.

I knew it.

Liars.

Huh.

Looks like you got a visitor.

We've been expecting you.

Who are you?

I believe you know my wife.

Come in, Julian.

You are asking me
to risk losing everything.

No, I am trying to save everything.

And even if Julian
accepts this collateral,

he still won't trust you.

What, are you gonna live in that
apartment in Queens forever?

But what if Senior already knows?

- You were worried...
- I know how to handle that.

I hope it was okay that I stopped by.

Sure.

I, um,

I just needed to-to talk to you.

I lied earlier.

Because Julian was going
to tell you something that

I didn't want you to know.

But since it's coming out, um,

it should come from me.

I was the one who wrangled
the votes in the New York office

to unseat you as managing partner.

What?

I'm sorry.

I know it's scary to tell Julian,

because you're letting go
of some control,

which is not your strong suit.

You're not supposed to use
that against me.

I'm not against you.

Stop focusing on what could go wrong.

Focus on what can go right.

You get to show Julian all
the evidence you've collected.

You get to see the look on his face.

What the hell is going on?

And you finally
get to hold him accountable.

My name isn't Matty Matlock.

I'm Madeline Kingston.

Mrs. Belvin didn't read me in
to anything.

And Olympia didn't
read me in to anything.

I am the reason for everything.

Because the study you hid,

could've saved my daughter's life.
