All language subtitles for Matlock 01x11 A Traitor in Thine Own House [2025-02-13 21-01] uswcbs HQ

Previously on Matlock, the law firm
Jacobson Moore hid documents that could

taken opioids off the market ten years
earlier.

Think of how many lives that could have
saved, including our daughters.

We could look for Alfie's father.

That is too risky.

Chances are he's also an addict. I
thought you said your husband was dead.

Hey, you. What is your interest in me,
Shay? Because I don't want the whole

office talking about my personal life,
and I'm sure you don't want me talking

about yours right now either.

Did you tell anyone what happened with
us? I told Shay that I felt guilty, and

she said you had a thing with Elijah.

There was no affair.

You're comparing an actual something to
a theoretical nothing. We just started

negotiating the divorce.

He hits you, you hit him right back.

We need Julian's financials. Olympia
said he got a chunk of money to buy

brownstone. It was right about the time
those... Documents went missing. I'm

going to demand forensic accounting.

Congrats, counselor. First notch on your
bill. And you told me this case was

mine. I'm sorry. You will regret making
an enemy out of me.

My husband, he died.

But he was a lying, cheating, squirrel
hunting, dog breath loser.

That's very good.

It's a little disturbing.

Next question.

Where were you born?

Naples, Florida, where the beer is warm
and the women are cold.

And where's your first practice law?

Just outside Savannah, where the beer is
cold and the women are warm.

Okay, lean in. Don't break eye contact.

Mouth loose, a little open.

I feel like a golden retriever. You're
the one who asked me to study up on body

language methods.

Shea is good, and you need to be better.
I am better.

Okay. I was back here.

I know she's pretty. Oh, no, that's not
what I was looking at. I was... Okay,

yeah, she's really pretty.

Yeah, and according to her LinkedIn, she
was not qualified enough to be poached

by senior 14 years ago. So maybe her job
was payment for whatever she did on

Welbrexa. And now that Shea is done with
her big trial, she and I can bury the

hatchet and have a little chat about our
origin story.

Ask me another question.

Have you thought any more about looking
for Alfie's father?

I think about it constantly.

And have you done anything about it?

I have no leads.

You're the one who got the email from
that guy after Ellie's funeral.

I don't want to open that can of worms
yet.

And I understand that.

So you're not going to look for him
behind my back?

Of course not.

Are you mad at me for asking?

No.

Hold the door, please.

Oh, hey.

Sorry.

You go.

Yes, new suit.

Fundraiser for the Met. I'm told Rihanna
might be there.

Oh, your hall pass.

Oh, you and I, we can't talk about hall
passes anymore.

I'm sorry.

Kidding.

You going up to see Senior?

Yeah, I got summoned.

I'm nervous. He's pissed at me.

Senior doesn't get pissed at you. I went
off on him at the Christmas party

defending Julian, and it's been a little
icy since.

Anyway, I don't need to be talking to
you about Julian. Agreed.

Good luck with Senior.

So, I could use a favor.

Oil guy, I used to represent Ben Vogel.

Lost his marbles a couple of years ago.
Now he's all into green initiatives and

saving the planet.

Sounds like a nut job.

Right.

His latest passion is water scarcity. He
started this company named Rain Weaver.

He shoots something into the clouds to
make it rain.

And Ben says this other guy stole the
recipe for the cloud shooting thing.

Is that the technical term? Prove his
trade secrets are stolen and make us a

bunch of money, will you?

That it?

Because I also wanted to talk about the
holiday party.

I was out of line.

The timing seems convenient, since it's
coming right when you're trying to beat

my son in a partner race.

You don't mean convenient. You mean
transparent, which it is.

Look, I want to win if I have the
chance.

Do I?

Good luck with Rain Weaver.

I will report back.

Oh, uh, there is one more thing.

Shea's on the case.

Will that be a problem?

Of course not.

Maddie, find me the best jury consultant
in the city who specializes in

corporate malfeasance. There are plenty
of other people who can do what Shea

does.

Oh, great.

But I'm not feeling a butt right now,
Maddie. Got it.

No problem.

Okay.

What's the butt?

Butt. I was going to suggest you bring
Shay onto a case this week anyway. That

fight with Julian was public, and you
have to show it doesn't affect the work.

Rise above all that hooey. I don't want
to rise above. I want to find a sinkhole

and drop her into it. That's the spirit.

Or a hell mouth.

Send it back to her people.

Any leads on hell mouths? Because I'm
fresh out.

Unfortunately, no.

You're right.

I know you're right.

If we go to trial, I will suck it up,
bring my holy water, and deal with Shay.

Why don't you let me interface with her?

So you don't have to.

What did I do before you, Madeline
Matlock?

Madeline Matlock will pay.

Mark my words.

She stole Autry's case from me. And gave
it to me, and I want it. Have you seen

my cologne?

Thankfully, no. And she gave the case to
me first, Billy.

And then she snatched it away with nary
a thought of the wreckage. Fie upon her.

Fie. Fie?

Fie.

When my anger is at a nine, I listen to
Victorian novels, bring it back down to

a seven. What do you do when you're at a
ten?

I burn it all down.

Well, take a deep breath.

She's coming.

Good morning. Maybe for you, turncoat.

Sarah, I know you're angry with me, but
I'm hoping that you and I can move

forward. As soon as you rewind time and
give me back the case I deserve. Which I

won. Irrelevant. I disagree.

Billy did a great job.

I believed he would, and that's why I
gave it to him. I don't believe you.

And until you tell me the truth, thou
hast made a sworn enemy out of me.

Let us each really connect with each
other.

We are all aligned in this moment, on
this planet, in this present.

As we open our eyes and embark on our
collective litigation, let us remember

we're here.

The planet's in crisis.

We are the helpers.

Amen.

Amen.

I like you already.

Now, listen up.

Just because I'm a peace -loving dude
doesn't mean I don't want to draw blood.

Stratisfy stole my tech.

Well, they stole Todd's tech.

You guys briefed on Todd? Todd's my man.

He approached you after you gave a
lecture at Harvard. Eight months later,

started working for you at Rainweaver.
Because of Ben's mentorship.

Hey, who mentored who? This guy's a
genius.

People should be following him around
like they did with Einstein.

How old are you?

Uh, 75.

Want my weight, too?

No, I can estimate that. And Ben meant
your biological age, not your

chronological age. Todd took me from 43
years old to 28.

Well, hello, Todd.

You want to grab a drink later tonight?

I don't drink. Alcohol's poison.

Okay, Todd. Let's do Maddie's health
assessment later.

We have a bit of an uphill battle.

After 11 months of litigation, you've
yet to prove that Stratisfye used your

intellectual property.

Why are you so sure they did?

Because the founder satisfies a hack
who's never had an independent thought

his life.

Got it, but let's stick to facts.

Facts? He posted one of my scientists,
Marco. Marco worked under Todd.

My team figured out how to get silver
iodide particle emissions low enough for

EPA approval.

Yeah, silver iodide is the chemical we
shoot into the clouds to make it rain.

In high concentrations, it's toxic, but
Todd got our levels down to 40 .28 MPLs.

That's 10 micrograms under the EPA
limit.

And yet somehow, Planet Now is still
camped out in front of our labs

The environmental activists?

Why? They've been hounding me since my
Exxon days.

Why are they about faith, if you don't
mind my asking?

You ever wake up and think, whoa.

I have done so much in my life wrong.

That's what happened when I had a kid.

Changed everything.

And that is why I'm going open source
with this tech to help people.

Try and do some good for the world.

Whereas Stratify is going to hold on to
these patents for as long as humanly

possible and try to make billions off
the water wars.

What is Stratify's silver iodide output?

No idea.

Judge ruled it's outside the scope of
discovery. If they used your

would their output be 40 .28 also?

Yes, of course.

I think I know how to get it. But it
will involve your good friends at Planet

Now. What are you listening?

Not my friends.

Great, then.

Then it won't be hard to convince them
to sue Stratify and you.

This is malicious prosecution.

Ben Vogel is getting my client sued.

I wish I knew what Ms. Fulton was
talking about. The citizen suit that

Now just brought against Stratify, which
requires them to hand over their

environmental impact report.

Clearly, Ben Vogel is behind it, except
Planet Now also just sued Rainweaver. So

what? Ben Vogel suing himself?

Probably. And an end run around this
court's discovery ruling, which is why

honor needs to stop it.

Oh, that's what this is about.

Stratify needs to keep their silver
iodide output secret. Because if it's

same number as Rain Weaver's, it proves
they stole the tech. That's not what

this is about. There's only one way to
find out.

Judge, order them to release their
number.

Miss Moulton, you lose.

And the silver iodide output for
stratify is 39 .17.

What? I'm sorry. I know you guys thought
you were the only ones who can get the

output low enough.

I've been reading up. Duplicative
spontaneous invention happens more often

we think.

Two people coming up with the exact same
idea.

What's going on, guys?

That's the new number.

We hit 39 .17 three weeks ago. Wait.
Marco left Rainweaver last year, so he

couldn't have given it to Stratify.

Yeah, exactly.

But somebody did.

Someone who still works for my company.

Hmm.

A traitor in thine own hell.

Fine.

Appropriate espionage. That doesn't
happen every day. Whoever leaked the

had to get it off the server. Ben says
it's a huge amount of data, so

it would have left some sort of trail.
Digital forensics.

And we need to depose all of
Rainweaver's engineers and set out the

right?

That's all we have to say.

Thanks for meeting us.

We're going to need your expertise.

I'm happy to help.

Truly.

Maddie's going to run the deposition.
I'd love for you to observe. Help us

our liar.

So look, I'm actually glad we get this
time together.

Why?

Olympia hates me. You're her lackey.

Oh.

I'm her friend.

Also an employee of this law firm just
trying to get ahead. You're pretty

important here, and I'd love us to start
over.

Get to know each other a bit.

Couldn't find what you wanted to know
from my LinkedIn?

You know, my pro account lets me see who
looks at my page.

You spent a whopping two and a half
hours clicking around on it yesterday.

What's your interest in me?

Same reason I read Sarah Blakely's
memoir.

You know, she was the founder of Spanx.
I love learning about impressive women.

And then I thought, how does one become
a jury consultant?

You didn't have them at your old firm?

Oh, what was it called? Mr. Oliver
Thumner, LLC.

About three of us worked for him. I
haven't seen those guys in, I don't

years.

You know, I find people talk a lot when
they want me to lose focus.

I'm not losing focus.

Good. We have a lot of work to do.

Please state your name for the record.

Uh, Darian.

Darian Bettmer.

Please don't mind my college. She can be
a little intense, but she means well.

If I had my druthers, we'd be having our
chat at IHOP over there. Rooty -tooty,

fresh and fruity breakfast.

And what is it you do at Rainweaver?

I'm, um... One of the four senior
engineers?

That developed the chemical formulas
behind Rain Weaver's cloud seeding

technology. Wowee.

And do you like your job?

Hells yeah, bruh.

Money is thick.

Perks are dope.

And what about your bosses? Are they
dope?

It's big tech, so still a boys club.

But as far as boys go, Ben is solid.

So you trust him?

Mm -hmm.

And does Ben trust you?

Look, he says he does, but... Bruh, this
company tracks every move we make.

They can't even tell if we've been
drinking.

Oh, must be hard to get any work done
with somebody always looking over your

shoulder like you're a criminal, waiting
for you to slip up. Not if you've got

nothing to hide.

Uh, is that a question?

Here's the question.

Did you divulge any confidential trade
secrets to anyone while working at

Rainweaver? What?

No. No way.

I absolutely did not.

No freaking way.

We're not handing them over.

We have a right to see all the accounts.
Not the family trust.

Then my client is flying blind. She's
getting a brownstone she hasn't

contributed a single cent towards.

So where did that money come from?

All right, enough.

This is exactly what we don't want.
Don't speak on what I want. Fine,

It's what I don't want, okay? I'm done.
You can have everything you asked for.

The house, the furniture, 50 % of all
our accounts. I just need it to be over.

They're trying to keep you from seeing
the trust.

Classic pig in a poke.

Whatever that is.

The stupid thing is, I don't care about
the money. I care that he's lying.

But now my mind is going in all these
crazy directions.

Well, let me hear your theories.

The money to buy the brownstone.

What if he got it from, I don't know,
insider trading or gambling or...

Something terrible, and he's trying to
tie me to illegal money. You think he'd

do that? I don't know.

Maybe I'm paranoid.

But then I think about that spy pin, and
if he can do that... You got a Cindy

Shapiro story?

Could use one right about now.

Uh, how about a story about her sister
-in -law, Gail?

Ooh, lay it on me. Okay.

Gail Shapiro was married to Mort's
philandering brother, Arthur.

He kept a locked drawer in his home
office the whole time they were married.

Gail never thought anything of it. Until
he started chasing tail.

Bingo. Then she scoured that condo until
she found a key. And guess what she

found in the drawer?

Pinky's dog tag.

Her beloved Yorkie, who she thought was
snatched by a coyote. And it turns out

Arthur backed over her with the Chevy
and never came clean. I hate Arthur.

Same. The point being, when your gut
tells you something fishy's going on,

there's almost always a four -day -old
car flying around somewhere.

It's just, it feels so bad, you know?

Letting our divorce get this ugly.

Hey.

Her bin landed. Let's do this.

So, who looked up into the left?

If only we're that easy.

No, detecting fallacies is all about
analyzing the hard, wide relationship

between the human limbic brain and the
nervous system.

The gestures need to line up with words
and emotions.

That's what I'm looking for.

So what'd you find?

In my opinion, all four of your
engineers are telling the truth.

And my team didn't find any suspicious
data movement, no spikes or large

downloads from the cloud, which we'd see
if someone was transferring that much

information, unless there's another way
to get data out.

That much?

Not a chance, not unless... What is it?

Nothing.

I need to...

I need to take a walk, just get my
bearings.

What just happened? I think he just
realized who the mole is.

Todd is the only one smart enough to
store that much data in his head.

And the only one who could do it without
leaving a digital footprint.

I don't get it.

Betrayed by the guy he mentored?

Well, people betray each other all the
time, especially in the workplace.

Right, Maddie?

What do you mean?

Just that Maddie is perceptive.

So let's look into Todd.

If he's as smart as Ben says, then he'd
never leave a trail.

Except for the one on his wrist.

Yes, those bracelets they all wear.

Todd would have had to meet someone in
person to avoid a data spike. So if I

get Rain Weaver to hand over Todd's
bracelet data, we can see where he's

Good idea, Maddie.

divine providence.

Thy vengeance is sometimes delayed, but
only that it may fall the more

effectually.

Sorry.

Yes. So notice some tension between you
and Matlock.

I'm sorry. I'll keep things
professional.

That's not why I'm asking.

I don't trust her. Really?

Because ever since she started, I have
had a feeling that she is using that

infuriating little aw shucks routine to
hide the fact that she's a highly

skilled political monster who's ready to
clench your eyeballs and devour your

brains.

I know it's a strong take.

I like it.

Let's talk some more.

Okay, this article is the only thing I
could find on the law group Oliver

Thumner LLC.

Who Maddie says she worked for.

I'm sure she let her resume exaggerate
her experience. To get her out, they

would need proof.

Okay, I know why I want Matt in lockout.

Why do you?

Because honest people are dangerous.

What else did you find?

Nothing, and I look pretty hard.

Well, think about how she stole your
first case. Combine that with your

insecurities and look harder.

She's coming.

No.

Let's get in her head.

You look crazy.

My client says that if you smile, it
automatically reduces your stress.

What's stress?

You got a tough legal question. I got a
tough legal question.

So, you have to convince the Rainweaver
board to release the personal data of

their lead scientist.

Without Todd knowing, correct.

And I came to you because you were the
board with... Trying to distract me with

flattery?

Did you call an emergency meeting?

7 p .m.

Thank you for agreeing to meet.

I know you're busy solving the world's
water crisis.

You need them to vote to overturn their
own privacy policy. It's a long shot.

Risk reward's in their favor.

The only focus on the risks.

What if Todd is not the leaker and he
learns we suspected him?

We rely on his mind.

Right, Ben? That's what you said.

Then I'll focus on why it's not an
issue.

You don't want to get into a back and
forth.

Any ideas or just criticism?

Just pointing out that these people have
big egos.

The more you try to justify it, the more
they'll hate what you have to say.

Well, they're going to hate anything
they don't come up with themselves.

They have to think it's their idea. I
couldn't agree more.

In fact, I would like to go over all the
reasons you should not agree to this

egregious privacy violation.

Wait, is that... Did you just do that
inception thing on me?

Made me believe it was my idea.

We'll just proceed without
investigating, Todd, and hope for the

Let's discuss.

We don't want to tie our own hands.

All in favor of releasing employee data
without notification as a special

exemption.

Well, Todd definitely went to a lot of
juice bars.

Okay, this is weird.

Todd visited an actual bar.

McKittry's. Three times in one week. But
Todd thinks alcohol is poison.

Exactly. We should swing by the bar as
soon as it opens. When it's not too

talk to the manager, see if there are
any security tapes.

Good thinking.

You're at the Queen's apartment because
you think you were followed? I don't

know. There was this man on the bus. And
he was staring.

And Shay and Sarah were looking me up
today.

What if they sent somebody to follow me?

No one's following you. You don't know
that. We're rooting out a mole in this

company, and Shay knows we were on her
LinkedIn.

And Sarah, Sarah came out of the
building to watch the... Okay, Maddie,

got to slow down now and breathe.

I'm breathing. Do you remember what
happened last time? I don't want you to

another anxiety attack. I know, I know.

Okay, okay, then do it with me.

All right? In for four.

Hold for four.

And release for four.

Okay, do it again.

Madeline? I'm here.

I'm better.

Good. Come home.

Not tonight. Just in case.

I'm sorry.

You don't have to apologize.

Maybe I do.

I lied.

Have you been trying to look for Alfie's
father?

No. No, Edwin.

I would never.

About how hard it is to manipulate
Olympia.

I said it didn't bother me, but... Just
keep reminding yourself why you're doing

this.

Someone that Jacobson wore hid
documents.

And could have saved people like our
daughter.

I don't want to get caught, Edwin.

We have to figure out a way to get Shay
off my back.

I just feel a little silly making a
whole big to -do. I can assure you,

not being silly.

This is a safe space, we take all
concerns seriously, and Jacobson Moore

not tolerate or condone discrimination,
harassment, or abuse.

Well, I appreciate that.

I mean, we didn't have an HR department
when I was first starting out, so I...

I'm a little nervous using words like
harassment or discrimination.

You know, I mean, it's just... But I
think we're talking both here.

Why don't you walk me through what
happened with Shea Banfield?

I'd like to, but she has a whole lot of
power.

And we have a strict anti -retaliation
policy, I promise.

Hi,

have you seen Sarah? No.

And believe me, I know, because I'd feel
the hatred of a thousand suns burning a

hole through my skull.

We were supposed to go to the bar and
try to get security footage of Todd.

Maddie, you're my witness.

Let the records show at approximately
1045 Eastern Standard Time, I was in

office waiting for her.

She better not get mad at me.

I am so pissed.

Matlock filed an HR complaint against
me.

I just got a warning. A preemptive
attack.

Fear has gripped me. Stop talking like
that. It's off -putting.

A little unhinged. Okay, sorry, but she
should be scared because look what I

just found.

A new lead.

Oh, mm -hmm.

Guess I'm going to Georgia.

you leave me figured out who Todd met
with? Well, I went to the bar, told the

manager that my wallet was stolen, then
he let me take a screenshot off the

security footage. Why did you leave me
behind?

Leave you behind?

I looked. You know what? Never mind.

All right, that's because you've been so
obsessed with figuring out why Maddie

took Audrey's case from you, because
it's so inconceivable to you that she

think I'm a good lawyer, too. No, it's
inconceivable that she would think

a better lawyer than me, because you're
not, and everyone knows it. You know

what?

I'm over it, Sarah.

And you.

Kelly. Boss, I got something you should
see.

Do you know the man Todd is talking to?
Marco Blake.

The ex -Rainweaver employee I thought
was involved.

Guess that was right.

Along with my mentee.

I'm sorry.

It must be hard to see this.

Yes, very hard.

But now that we know the truth...

We can put this to bed in court
tomorrow.

Ben is lying.

What? Well, I might not be a human lie
detector, but I spent all afternoon with

one.

Mouth closed tight.

Gestures don't match emotion.

I'm telling you, that man's lying.

Yeah, look.

After each meeting Todd had at the bar
with Marco, he would go here.

So did Ben.

And we didn't catch it before because we
were only looking at individual

employees' movements instead of cross
-referencing them. So Ben and Todd are

meeting up after, but why?

Do we have Todd's employment agreement?

I'm so sorry I'm late.

Thank you so much for agreeing to talk
to me about Maddie.

Todd Paxton.

Important to you? Both?

Professionally and personally?

The beating heart of the company.

You referred to him as your close
friend. Your mentee? We mentored each

Understood.

So it surprised you when you learned
that he was the one leaking trade

to Marco Blake, your former employee who
now works at Stratify?

Surprised is an understatement. I
trusted him. You trusted him.

And there's no way that you were in the
know about those meetings?

I'm sorry?

In the know.

Conscious. Aware of.

Aware of the meetings where my
technology was being stolen?

This is the tracking information from
your own bracelet.

We received it when we got Todd's. Could
you please take a look?

As you can see, each time Todd met Marco
at that bar, right afterwards, he'd go

and meet with you at a coffee shop.

Mother Gaia's Vegan Coffee House, to be
exact.

Great job.

I want to believe you, but it sort of
looks like...

Todd was reporting back to you about how
it was going with Marco over at

Chagachino's. Why would I? That doesn't
even... Todd gets a pretty big golden

parachute if he leaves Rain Weaver,
doesn't he?

Even if he gets fired, $15 million free
and clear.

He is a valuable employee.

Agreed. I'd say that he's an invaluable
employee for conspiring with you to give

Rain Weaver's tech to Stratisfy. No, no,
we didn't... So that you can sue

Stratisfy. Anchor up your only major
competition.

Dominate the emerging market. This is
ridiculous.

Can she even do this?

Not that way, no.

Though it is my fantasy to drag your ass
to court and expose you on the stand.

Or I suppose I could go behind your back
like you did to me.

Slip the Department of Commerce an
anonymous note about how you were part

leaking your own trade secrets. Oh, I am
sure they would love to see you pay

your dues.

But as my lawyer, you can't do that,
right?

The action is over, Todd confessed.

Stratify is folding, and my loyalty is
to you, my client.

A little bit of bad for a whole lot of
good.

I'll share that tech with the people who
need it.

I'll take your word for it.

I do not appreciate being lied to, and I
highly recommend you think twice before

doing it again.

I understand.

But you'll represent me on my next
action, and I get sued a lot.

Don't ever lose her. Put on some damn
shoes, will you?

Nice work, getting him to come clean
like that. Sure was.

And now I'm going back to cases that I
can respect in the morning flight.

I hope I can count on your vote for
partner.

Over my son?

Little bit of bad for a whole lot of
good.

I made up my mind.

I'm not taking your offer.

Wow.

Just to spite me.

No.

Because I don't trust you.

During our entire marriage, I never
asked a question about our finances.

I just let you take the lead.

I didn't want to make things feel
uncomfortable or, God forbid, look like

digger. But I am done.

I don't like the way you've been moving.

And secrets need to come to the light.

So you want to go to war?

Of course not.

But I will.

The ends justify the means.

Forbid your divorce.

Think less of me?

Not at all. I needed to hear that myself
right about now.

What's going on?

Sarah's just so mad at me. I noticed.

But don't worry.

I'll help smooth it over. What? You
sponsoring personality transplants now?

We have to figure out a way to get

Shay off my back.

I'll have Alfie put on a new read.

I'm going to Georgia.

Finally. Colleague.

Find out if anything on that resume is
true.

Gestures have to match words.

No sweating. No blinking.

We'll meet outside.

I'll sweat anyway.

And I'll wear sunglasses.

Thank you so much for agreeing to talk
to me about Maddie. I am always happy to

talk about Madeline Matlock.

One of the best lawyers I knew.

And I'm not at all surprised that she is
having a second act.

Shane. Did you go see a colleague of
mine from 30 years ago in Georgia?

I mean, what are you, stalking me now?
I... I thought... I don't care what you

thought. That's harassment, plain and
simple. And, lady, I'm going to file

another complaint against you, and
that'll automatically trigger an

investigation.

Maddie, I'm sorry.

I made a mistake.

Yeah, you sure did.

You took my cologne.

Yes. And I'm sure that the entire floor
was grateful.

But I am returning it now.

As a peace offering.

Okay.

You were right.

I've been blaming Maddie, and the truth
is... You deserved the case.

I'm really sorry.

Billy.

No, come on.

Are we okay?

No, Sarah, we're not.

You crossed the line, and I'm tired of
always trying to make things right with

you. I can do this job on my own.

I'm going to.

You wanted to see me?

Yeah, look.

I need you to let go of whatever bizarre
beef you have with Maddie.

Understood?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Totally. I am fine.

What's going on, Sarah?

Nothing. I... I just really...

I'm not as good as I thought I was.

And because I couldn't face that, I
blamed an old lady, I alienated my

messed up at work, and now I started
crying in front of the one person that I

most admire.

It's okay, Farrah. It's not okay. This
is not okay.

It is.

And you're going to be okay because you
have so much potential. But you get in

your own way because you're too busy
competing and not collaborating.

I had to learn the same lesson when I
started working here.

Really? Really.

Will you be my mentor?

I'm sorry, what now? You know, like Todd
and Ben, but without the weird

corporate espionage.

Please, Olympia, I have admired you for
so long, I just... Excuse me.

I just know there is so much that I
could learn from you.

I promise you will not regret this.

Should we link calendars, talk mentor
-mentee, give given guidelines?

Uh, I actually have to be somewhere.

Well, I'd be happy to come along.

Take notes, network.

Let's start tomorrow.

Perfect. What time?

Rematch.

Oh, I'm sorry. I did not see you sitting
there.

Catch me after your meeting?

Uh, dinner.

Actually.

Of course.

You guys sure you don't want to play
this?

No,

I mean... Have fun.

Thanks. Bye.

Knock, knock.

Well, well.

Didn't the lord of the manor come to
visit me in my humble office?

I wanted to let you know you won't have
any more issues with Shea Banfield.

Oh. You heard about that?

Oh, I hear age discrimination. I take it
personal.

Sue me.

I prefer not to.

And that you went to HR.

Well, I was feeling a little vulnerable.

This retaliation?

Of course not.

Friendly check -in. Wanted to make sure
you're okay.

I know Shea can be overzealous.

She tracked down my colleague from 30
years ago.

Like I said.

But it's also what makes her so good at
her job.

Yeah. What's she holding over you, sir?
I mean, gotta be something you wouldn't

be down here. Tell me I'm paranoid.

You're paranoid.

I'm fond of the kid.

That's all.

We go way back.

Good night, sir.

Paranoid my foot.

This is four -day -old carp.

Something's fishy.

And I'll bet it has to do with Shay when
she consulted for, well, Brexit 14

years ago.

About that, I might have an idea of what
she was doing back then.

Tell me a little something about you.

How did you get involved with jury
consultation?

Oh, well, I was an analyst initially for
McKinsey. Ah, so you analyzed juries.

No, I actually worked in marketing back
then. Oh.

Marketing. Marketing.

Marketing is how well Brooks and Perdue
turbocharged the opioid epidemic. So

maybe it was marketing documents they
hid.

Yeah. Oh, this is good. This is very
good. You're incredible, darling.

Well, I'm glad you think so.

Oh, I looked for that email from the guy
who knew Ellie.

And?

Yeah, I couldn't find it.

My old university account has been wiped
clean.

Oh.

Well, that's that then.

I'm going to take a shower. Okay.
