All language subtitles for Matlock 01x13 Pregame [2025-02-27 21-01] uswcbs HQ

Previously, the law firm Jacobson Moore
hid documents that could have taken

opioids off the market 10 years earlier.

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

alerts Senior that it's in discovery.

Senior's out of the country and calls
Julian.

So we have to prove that he was in that
document room 14 years ago.

Do you have a key card? That way you can
track your movements.

You just tapped it? Yeah, and then enter
the date. I assume you have a plan for

snagging Julian's key card? I sure do.

Simone has been my ne - In law school,
you mentioned.

I could explain the difference in detail
over a drink.

I don't have other hangs, but you can
keep hanging.

Would it be okay if we checked in in a
month? What are you doing?

You told me you couldn't find the email.

I just needed some more time to think.
So I don't let you think? Not when your

mind is made up. You're a bull in a
china shop.

Do you blame me for Ellie's death?

It's just that if we hadn't pushed so
hard for custody.

Wasn't we at win? It was me.

Oh, it's fresh.

Nice. Okay, now smell the inside.

Do I have to? Well, according to HR, no,
but please?

I didn't know Easter was such a big deal
around here.

Aren't 60 % of the partners Jewish?

Well, it's been rebranded as Family Day,
and technically, the bunny is a non

-denominational rabbit.

He nears his fist on the egg hunt
because he loves wearing the damn

If anything is off, he'll blame me.

Do you blame me for Ellie's death? It's
just that if we hadn't pushed so hard

for custody... Do you blame me?

Sometimes.

I just... I just meant the timing.

Not that... It's okay.

I blame myself.

Part of the reason I'm doing all this, I
guess.

I noticed you were a bookworm, and I
just wanted to say thank you for helping

find my purse the other day. I don't
usually accept gifts for performing the

duties of my job. Well, you're going to
have to make an exception on account of

my southern hospitality.

Actually, ma 'am, what I was going to
say was, I'll make an exception.

Oh, what a sweet angel you've got there.

Will I get to meet her on family day?

After the guard change at 3 p .m.

3 p .m.? That'll be my window. I'll
sneak in, grab the printouts of Julian's

whereabouts the day the documents went
missing, and prove he was the one who

stole them.

Oh, God.

Bitsy again?

I don't have the energy to talk to my
sister.

Oh, I get it. She's alive.

Tell me about it.

Oh.

Boy, she really wants us to come for
Easter. Are you sure you wouldn't like

go? Get a change of scenery, have some
of her famous peach pie.

Bitsy's diabetic now. It's sugar -free.

Alfie always has a good time.

Bye -bye.

Being your rug rat to family day?

Oh, I don't think Alfred's that kind of
kid.

Oh, every kid's that kind of kid once
they meet the non -denominational bunny.

Okay, now, talk to me about Sland.

The class is certified.

Great lead plaintiff. We start trial
next week.

I'm loving how much of the firm's money
you've spent. Drop in the bucket. We're

looking good.

This is the case that's winning me
partner.

Let's hope you're right.

But you should bring Alfie. It'll be
fun.

And I want to get to know him.

I feel like it's the one part of your
life that's still a mystery.

Do you think I should bring Alfie? To
family day or to your sister's? Because

I've lost track.

Both. Either. I'm just trying to weigh
the pros and cons, you know? I just

want to be... A bull in a china shop.

I didn't mean what I said last night.

Darling, are you sure you can handle
being Maddie Matlock today?

You could call in sick, take a personal
day. I'm not sure that's true, Edwin.

Like my friend Cindy Shapiro said, when
you got money, you can wallow.

Without it, you gotta swallow.

What does that even mean?

I think I gotta pull up my big girl
pants, get ready for family day.

Family day is a stress migraine waiting
to happen. You don't like children.

Shocking. I like the ones with advanced
reasoning capabilities and expansive

verbal skills.

Not the ones with sweaty chocolate
hands.

What if Kara's super into family day?
Then I'm in the damn bunny costume.

Anything to soften the ground before the
talk.

Three days.

Hey, you could push it. Nope, it's
already in my calendar.

Also, it's time.

Billy, I like her.

We hang out constantly, and I want to
know where we're at. You know? Stop

talking. She's coming. As always, you're
talking.

Because I don't want to look upset, but,
like, why are they together? What was

that? Okay, I'm guessing Simone needed
tech support and stopped smiling. Calm

down. Trust me. You've got nothing to
worry about with Simone and Kira.

It's my sister.

She's wondering if we're still working
on the flame class action.

Look at this.

Half energy drink, half best time ever.
Five shots in one. And they put it in

this splashy font aimed directly at kids
and alcoholics. Okay, we got something

potentially interesting on the slam
front. One at a time.

There was an incident off Fordham's
campus a couple nights ago. A sorority

named Violet suffered a heart attack
after someone spiked her drink.

Slammed. Sorry.

Floor is Billy's. Thank you.

She's in the hospital, and they're
charging the girl who allegedly did it,

Santos, with felony assault.

My sister texted me. They're bringing
her into the station for questioning

Does she have a lawyer?

Let's walk through the events of the
night, starting now.

She won't be answering any more
questions.

Let me guess.

You're her lawyer? I need some time
alone with Ms. Santos, please. And you

take a notepad with you. You're not
getting a confession out of her.

Zoe, I'm Olympia Lawrence. This is my
team. I can't afford a lawyer.

I'm on scholarship. My parents don't
live here. Well, that's fine because

taking your case pro bono. Why would you
do that? I'm going to tell you the

truth, Zoe. And in exchange, I would
like the truth from you too, okay?

This drink, Liam, that put Violet in the
hospital is evil and it needs to be off

the market. It's hurt a lot of people.
It's aimed at kids like you. And it's

to be stopped. And I've got a big class
action lawsuit where I plan on doing

just that.

But if you are charged, let alone found
guilty, well, that puts the fault on the

person and not the product, which will
hurt my case. So I need to prove that

are innocent.

I didn't put slam in the cup.

Okay, I don't ever serve that stuff.

Are you engaging me as your lawyer?

Okay, hang tight.

I'm going to go see what we're up
against.

You two, get your hands on the police
report from the night of the incident,

Maddie will help you reach up here.

You can trust Olympia. She's in your
corner.

Thanks for meeting me so quickly.

You clearly have a lot on your plate.

Yeah, only about 73 other clients with
more incoming each week.

Oh, wow.

Oh, beautiful family.

Came with a frame. No time for a life.

Even more reason for me to unburden you
from having to charge Zoe Santos.

It was an accident. A terrible one, but
obviously not a crime.

It's the product itself that's
dangerous, not Zoe. I wouldn't be so

interviews from over a dozen sorority
sisters confirming that she and Violet

a huge fight that night. Apparently,
Violet stole Zoe's boyfriend.

Boom. Motive. I don't know about boom.

Your client also knew about Violet's
heart condition.

Miss Chapter President herself organized
the Heart Smart Sisterhood charity run

held by the sorority last summer.

We got mens rea and causation all over
the place. And you know what they say, a

video is worth a thousand convictions.
And I have one. Of your client handing

Violet a cup and pressuring her to chug
that drink. The very drink that ended up

sending her into cardiac arrest.

I know you're new to this office.

What's the tell? The ambition.

Which I respect, by the way. But look,
you don't want your first kill to be a

peely little squirrel.

You want a big, juicy bear.

Zoe wanted to get Violet drunk, that's
all.

I mean, you remember college, right?

Best I can do is offer you a plea.

Come on!

Your entire case is circumstantial.

Zoe has a clean record. She is a child
who made a mistake.

What?

888 Park.

Got it.

That little mistake just killed a girl.

Violet's dead? She can't be, no.

Zoe, you have to listen to me because
the next part's very important.

Do you understand? The DA's going to
charge you with manslaughter.

In about 60 seconds, the police are
going to come through that door and

going to arrest you. They're going to
take you to booking and fingerprint you,

photograph you, search you, everywhere.

We're going to get you out as soon as
possible.

Just do not.

Say a word to anyone.

Okay, here we go.

Oh, no, no, no, please. You'll be okay.
Please, please.

We know

it's been a rough night for you,

but darling, your dad will be here any
minute.

It can't be happening.

Zoe, we need to know exactly what
happened in your room that night.

We're not allowed to drink in
sororities, but I'm 21, so I keep it

closet. What is a Zoe Zinger?

The girl said that you served it to them
that night. Rum, strawberry lemonade,

Sour Patch Kids.

Any slammed in a Zoe thing? No, no, no
way.

It gets you way too drunk, way too fast.
I've seen so many people black out. I

do not mess with it.

We're going to need a list of every girl
who partied with you in your room that

night. Let's obtain a credit card, debit
card statement, see if we can figure

out who brought slammed in the house.

Tell us about Grant.

He cheated with Violet, but to think
that I would hurt Violet because of

Like, I just want to go back in time. I
just want to... I just want to not have

people over or not serve drinks.

Anything.

Anything to change what happened. Do you
blame me for Ellie's death? She said it

when you hadn't pushed so hard for
custody. Do you blame me? Dad?

Are you okay?

Oh, yeah. I just...

All that regret, and I just feel so bad
for her.

It's a bunch of bad facts to counter.

Worst one is the lab results prove there
was slammed in Violet's drink, and Zoe

handed her that drink. It's on camera.

How do the cops get Violet's cup to
begin with?

Do they let them in? You think in Fourth
Amendment?

The police wrote they knocked on the
front door a few times, but nobody heard

them. Then we need a math hearing.

Oh, men tormenting mind melds.

How is this an unlawful search?

It says right here that a young woman
who identified herself as Kalua. Keeley

Walsh, Your Honor, nicknamed Kalua.

Lovely. Well, she escorted the officers
up, so where's your illegal search and

seizure? Downstairs, Judge. When the
cops let themselves in pre -Kalua, if

will, and because sorority houses are
considered to be private dwellings, that

cup and its contents constitute
unlawfully seized evidence, and it must

suppressed. Seems open and shut. Mr.
Park?

It does, Your Honor. If it weren't for
this.

Apparently, the ladies of Chi Sigma Pi
held a semester -long clothing drive, as

advertised in this flyer.

And as you can see, they encourage
members of the public to drop off

That doesn't mean that anyone can just
barge in. Actually, it does. I know the

bubble letters are hard to read. The
hearts here, they're actually O's. But

literally says, come on in. Girl will be
unlocked all day. For the purposes of

donating clothes. Doesn't matter.

Once the residents negated the
expectation of privacy by granting

public at large, the police had every
right to enter without a warrant or

permission.

Agreed. The evidence stays in.

It's you.

You're the bear.

Ooh, cute.

Should I get one too? Matching mentor,
mentee bear.

Things? It's a declaration of war. A war
we are currently losing because the

damn ADA has got it out for me.

Okay, you two set up interviews through
the university. There were 19 sorority

girls who were in and out of that room.
We are looking for anyone who saw anyone

touch Violet's cup.

Maddie and I will wade through
discovery.

On it.

Copy you.

Okay, we need to find her angle.

What are you thinking?

You first.

Maddie.

Is everything okay?

Oh, yeah.

Just home stuff.

Like?

Do you blame me?

Do you blame me?

It has recently come to my attention
that I can be a bit of a bull in a china

shop at times.

Yeah? That's what I love about you.

Yeah, it has its downsides.

Name one.

When we have more time.

Oh, Lord.

Oh, please, aren't all kissy -faced
selfies.

Oh, you're not going to believe this.

Sarah thinks you've got something going
on with Kara.

You're doing it on purpose.

It's too easy.

You have to stop.

Fine. Dad.

No, no, no, no, no, no. I meant self
-torturing Sarah, huh? Oh, jeez.

However, I do have to go.

Counselor, may I request a continuance?

Where were you?

Bathroom. For that long? I told you not
to have that third latte.

Okay, boundaries.

Sorry, I need your help. There are 19
sorority girls down there living self

-tanner all around the firm. Okay.

Did you tell them no pictures? I can't.

I'm scared.

I mean, hello?

Do these faces not terrify you?

What is that? What?

That. Is that lipstick?

Oh. Um, must be for my sister.

Your sister kisses your neck? A hug.

Oh. I was in transit. Let's get started.

Kennedy!

Could you run us through the night of
the party? Oh, it wasn't a party. Just a

pregame after the big little reveal
before the mixer.

Great. Can you define all those words,
please?

So, older girls, big sisters, are
assigned the little. And you know who

paired with at the big reveal because
you're all wearing matching pajamas.

I got Steph.

Kennedy is the absolute best.

I was freaking out when I found out
she's my big. Violet was my little.

I was just telling my mom how much I
loved her. I can't believe she's gone.

who was Zoe's little?

Meg.

Hi. Hi. I can't believe this.

Don't worry.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. No selfies.

So, um, that night, everyone was in
their jammies.

Kennedy has ours monogrammed. B for big,
L for little. Who brought the slam den?

No idea.

That stuff is poison.

No one drinks slammed. We know what it
does.

Did you see anyone touch Zoe's drink?

Oh, it didn't watch like a creepy
stalker.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Did you see anyone touch her drink?

No.

But my mom would die if I dated a
lawyer.

That's not lipstick on a color girl, is
it?

So the DA case is circumstantial, which
means we need character witnesses for

Zoe. Right. Well, it probably shouldn't
be me just because of what happened with

Steph. Zoe gave me a strike for my
bracelet being of inadequate quality.

It was missing a single perm. And she
publicly announced it to humiliate her.

was evil. But it's nothing compared to
how she treated Violet.

What do you mean? How did she treat her?

Apparently, Zoe tortured Violet for
months. Lindsay said that she was almost

violent, no cap, but the rep your
hometown date dashed. Oh, no, you're

That was during Mr. For Your Sister, but
it was bad.

And none of the 19 girls saw anyone else
besides Zoe touch Violet's cup?

No. And even worse, all 19 girls think
Zoe did it.

I didn't hear you get in last night.

Another doozy of a case.

Sorority girl who hasn't been acting
very sisterly.

I misjudged her.

Another mistake.

Everybody makes them.

Tell me, should I bring Alfie to family
day or not?

Pros, cons?

He'd be very useful, create a diversion
at the shift change.

Con, it's a lot for a kid.

Ah, Betsy.

I texted her we're not coming. She keeps
asking me, what's going on up there in

New York?

Well, imagine if you told her. Stop.

Not funny.

So what are you thinking about Elsie,
the firm?

You're supposed to say no way and make
the damn decision for me.

Maddie, in your life, you have made
thousands of great decisions.

And I trust you.

You are going to have to let this go.

How?

Ellie was going to overdose.

Maybe not that day, but it was going to
happen. We had prepared for it for

years.

So don't blame yourself.

Blame the opioids.

I'll bring him.

To family day?

Yes. That's great.

I can't wait to meet him. Don't expect
much.

Alfie's quiet and mostly just grunt.

But Dwayne can talk to a rock.

I mean it. I've seen them.

Has anyone seen a non -denominational
bunny head?

Well, that's a sentence you don't hear
every day.

The costume, the bunny head is missing.

Oh, no. I think he's going to freak.
Good riddance.

You okay?

Yeah. Thank you for checking, but it's
not your problem anymore.

Who does your ex want to murder, be it a
rabbit or a thumper? Family day is

pretty triggering for Julian.

When he was eight, he came to family
day, and the senior told him that he was

divorcing his mother.

Didn't even take the damn bunny suit
off.

Oh. Yeah, proper reaction.

Uh -oh.

What's happened?

A liquor store near campus has a scan of
Zoe's ID.

along with a time stamp receipt
indicating that she bought a can of

cash.

At the bare minimum, this puts the
smoking gun in your hands.

Someone must have taken my ID. I keep it
in the top drawer. Everyone knows that.

Zoe, when we agreed to help each other,
it was based on you being honest. Your

sorority sister said that you were
basically torturing Violet in the weeks

leading up to her death.

mad at her.

I didn't buy this land. I didn't put it
in that cup, but I did make her life

miserable.

And I will never forgive myself for
that.

Never.

Okay. Zoe, let's go over again what you
did that day.

Woke up at 9 .30. You went to brunch.
What else?

I took a nap. I showered. Went for a
run.

Started the pregame at 6.

I didn't go to the liquor store that
day. Okay, is there anyone who can

corroborate your nap or your run?

No.

Oh, wait. I did take some selfies in the
park.

Okay, see?

It even has the time.

You have to believe me. I didn't do
this.

Now, according to the liquor store
receipt...

The can of slammed was purchased at 3
.47 p .m. And her selfie was taken in

front of the botanical gardens at 3 .28
p .m. So could Zoe have gotten from the

park to the store in 19 minutes? It
would be close. Close isn't good enough.

need to know for sure.

You mean run?

Not it.

Who keeps texting you?

Is it that girl who left a lipstick
stain on your collar?

There's no girl. You have three towels.
You just did them all. It's mine. I met

someone. I knew it.

Who is it? Or just tell me her initials.
And I'll track her down anywhere in

North America. And that's why I put her
under a code name in my phone. Two

blocks away. Dig deep.

No,

I don't believe someone else was using
Zoe Santos' ID.

I checked it myself.

I'm very careful.

But there's no surveillance footage at
the liquor store? Our cameras aren't

working, no.

Oh, that's too bad. Entered into
evidence, this report.

Detailing dozens of violations your
store received in the last year for

to minors using other people's IDs.

No further questions, Your Honor.

Mr. Park, your witness.

Sorry, Your Honor.

I was riveted by that report.

Now, it does appear that the liquor
store is pretty loosey -goosey. Mr.

you have a unique clerk ID number that
you have to enter for every sale? I do.

442. Got it. So here's that same list of
citations cross -referenced with clerk

ID numbers.

Can you tell me if any of those sales
correspond to yours?

442? No.

So you were not the clerk on shift for
any of those illegal sales?

No. Like I said, I'm careful.

Thank you, Mr. King.

How'd it go? Did you find anything? We
have tested every possible method to get

from the Botanical Gardens to the liquor
store.

Running, yellow cab, Uber, city bike. It
is physically impossible to do in 19

minutes.

Lily is telling the truth about her ID.

She didn't buy that drink.

Yeah, so who did?

Are you sure you're okay?

I can't be there the whole time because
I gotta go to court.

I'm 13, not 10.

And plus, we've been over the plan like
a thousand times.

Shift change at 3, I'll signal you when
Lucius leaves. Then I'll tell the new

guard that I lost my wallet. What if
there's not enough time for me to get

printout? Then I'll throw a fit. Or run.
Come on, why are you so nervous?

This is what we do.

I'm WBSP.

And WBSP.

of the girls who were underage who could
pass for Zoe. One of them must abuse

her ID.

Okay, go through all of the photos from
the party. See if one of them was

anywhere near the cup that Violet drank
from. Everyone, this is my grandson,

Alfie. Alfie, this is Billy, Sarah, and
Olympia. We have heard so much about

you. It's great to finally meet. Can I
get the Wi -Fi?

Alfie.

Teenagers. Can't live with them. Can't
abandon them in the woods.

There's an open network for guests.
Cool.

Hey, do you want to help us?

He's so cute.

Find anything in the photos?

Nothing. And we looked through them all
twice.

Look a third time. I have to grab my
kids.

Again? I have these pictures memorized.

I mean, these sisters are clearly
focused on the appearance of sisterhood,

actual sisterhood. I mean, Lindsay was
basically calling Zoe a tyrant, and now

they're hugging.

That's a live photo.

Oh, come on. I'm old, not dead.

We have to go through them all again.

From the very beginning. Maybe there's
something we missed.

Attention, everyone.

Attention. No running, no yelling, no
stealing each other's non

eggs. And if anyone finds a bunny head,
you get a great big prize.

And the stairwells are off limits
because you can't get out of there

key card. Okay? So, calmly, we are
walking.

Begin.

I can't believe they let you out early.

Yeah, Robin just said that should work a
double so I can hang out with my

princess the whole time.

Have fun.

So no shift change?

Guess we're not doing that today.

I could go rogue. Don't you dare.

Help us book, Dad.

Uh, okay. Well, there are no eggs under
the desk. That's for sure.

That was nice!

Found something.

Nothing. No eggs.

Maybe checking her mom's chips.

Anything? No eggs in here.

I hate today.

Wait.

Stop. Look at that.

Your witness, Miss Lawrence.

Steph, you've said on direct that Zoe
likes to embarrass people.

Yes. That's true. Did she embarrass you
by giving you a strike in front of the

whole sorority for a missing pearl in
your Chi Sigma Pi bracelet?

Yeah. I cried.

A lot.

Kennedy was the one who helped me get
through it. The same Kennedy who ran and

lost Zoe for chapter president last
fall?

Yes. How old are you and Kennedy? I'm 19
and Kennedy is 20. So neither one of

you are old enough to legally purchase
alcohol. You'd have to use somebody

else's ID.

Yes. But I didn't.

You said Kennedy made you feel better.
How did she do that?

She took me out for fro -yo.

She blasted Destiny's Child because I
love the oldies.

And she switched bracelets with me.

So the next time we have inspections,
I'd pass.

Again, because your bracelet was missing
a pearl.

Yes.

This is a photo, which has already been
admitted, taken that night of the party.

The photo was live, and we noticed
something in the background. We can see

is clearly a missing pearl.

So, is that your hand reaching into
Zoe's door to put back her ID, or

I'm not sure.

No? Let me help.

So the matching pajamas that you and
Kennedy wore that night for the big

reveal... It was monogrammed. L for
little and what was the other letter?

B.

For big.

B for big.

So Kennedy stole the ID and bought the
slant.

Objection! But Zoe had no idea what
Kennedy had done and gave the cup to Vi.

want to tell the judge that you're
dropping the charges or should I?

knows the truth now. You'll be okay.

Maybe I didn't spike her drink, but I
still handed her that cup. If I'd given

to someone else, anyone else, if I
hadn't told her to chug. Darling, you

live in the what -ifs. You have to keep
moving forward.

How? You are going to have to let this
go.

Bunkering heroes.

It's like Bugs Bunny on a bender in
Vegas.

Hopefully my grandson didn't do this.
Where is he at? Mommy!

Mommy, it got me! I got juggle bunnies!
I have more!

And how much sugar have you had? I tried
to limit it.

Clearly.

Thank you.

For what?

I don't know.

I'm sure my dad is hopping mad.

I can't believe you stole the bunny head
from me. You know, you really didn't

have to. Oh, no, I did.

It was fun.

And, you know, married or not, we're
still family.

Well, you keep this kind of stuff up,
and I'm going to feel really bad when I

destroy you in the partner race.

Ooh, now see, that is where I show no
mercy.

Has anyone seen my grandson?

He's not answering any of his texts or
calls. I mean, it's been an hour. I

he always answers. It's okay. We'll find
him. I'll call security.

Watch the twins? Of course. Don't worry,
Maddie. We'll find him.

Okay, great. Thank you.

He got himself stuck in the off -limits
stairwell.

That's why Stuart makes the
announcements.

Thank you, Robin. I'm so sorry.

Now, if you go get your bag, you're
taking the bus home right now.

Did you get it? Julian's

whereabouts. Sure did, kiddo.

You did great.

Shift change at three. I'll signal you
when Lucius leaves. Guess we're not

that today.

I could go rogue.

Don't you dare.

Or you could give me a five minute heads
up on your way back. Then I could get

stuck in the stairwell.

Are you okay, though?

You seem... I don't know.

Oh, no, I just... I've got stuff on my
mind. I've got a case.

We nailed it.

Stuart!

Need my pillow!

Are you okay?

Threw my back out looking for the damn
bunny head.

Agent is a bitch.

Ain't that the truth.

Here you go.

Oh, thank you.

Just waiting for my edible to kick in.

Edible? As in marijuana?

Yes, Nancy Reagan, haven't you heard?

It's legal and safer than half the
pharmaceuticals we wrap.

That's for damn sure.

Want one?

Oh, thank you, no.

No, no, no. Haven't been on the devil's
lettuce since 1972.

Well, come on back.

It's good for people like us. People
like us? What do we got in common? It's

brittle bones and memories of the moon
landing.

Both pretty damn bullheaded.

I saw how you got into this law firm.

Don't worry. It's a good quality. Most
of the time.

Sometimes there's damage.

The pot takes away the damage?

Oh, hell no.

It just changes your perspective a
little.

Let some new thoughts in.

Give me a half.

Yee -haw!

Give me another chair.

Let's ride.

Did I catch you at a bad time?

Halfway through a Cadbury bunny.

Oh, I don't need chocolate. I'm savoring
the taste of victory.

There was always belongings in the
precinct.

You didn't have to do that.

No. Just gave me a chance to observe you
in your lair.

Are you pressing charges against
Kennedy?

Considering it.

That makes no sense.

Kennedy was trying to hurt Zoe, which
makes Violet's death an accident, not a

crime. Drop it.

So you can win your class action?

Yeah. And get this really bad product
off the market so that it doesn't happen

to another kid. That's my bear, and I'm
about to slay it.

Find your own.

I already have.

First rule of hunting.

Be patient.

Productive session, Counselor. Feel we
advanced her case?

Yeah.

We definitely explored several useful
avenues of inquiry.

Counselor?

I can't believe you waited seven whole
minutes. after our calendar invite to

come find me? Look at you, relinquishing
control to the universe and everything.

I wouldn't go that far.

So, um, this is a status check.

What is our status?

That's what I feel like.

I don't need any more proof to know that
I am into

you, Kira.

It's hot. It's easy. We both agree that
pets are growth, and your brain is a

national treasure.

So, no.

I'm all the way in.

The question is, are you to keep doing
what we've been doing?

And to keep doing what we have been
doing, but only with each

other.

Monogamous.

I have been thinking about this so much.

And... And... And I... I'm just not a
monogamy person.

But that does not mean that I am not
serious about us.

Would you ever consider an open
relationship?

Feeling anything?

Not really.

Except I love this song more than I've
loved anything ever.

Good reason.

So why did you want a perspective shift?

Regrets. Woulda, coulda, shoulda. Oh,
yeah.

Those don't serve you well.

So you don't have any?

Didn't say that.

I had a big fight with my little
brother.

Said some things I wish I didn't.

He died in a car wreck the next day.

Had to get past it.

Thought about revenge.

And I remember that quote.

Before you seek revenge, dig two graves.

So that's what I did.

Car manufacturers in one, tire companies
in the other.

Tell me that helped.

Hell yeah.

Revenge is the best.

Take away the guilt. Most of the time.

Every once in a while, the guilt comes
back up, knocks me off my ass.

I got to apologize.

Apologize to? My brother.

Hey, Doug.

Sorry we fought, even though I was
right.

I wish you were here so we could duke it
out.

You got someone to apologize to?

Try it.

Go on.

I'm sorry.

Oh, screw that.

Put some guts into it. If you've got
regrets, speak it from your soul.

Sounds like someone hurt you.

What?

I'm teasing, Matlock. Oh, come on.

Oh,

no.

Guess the rug rat needs me.

Oh, God, I've got to put myself
together.

Get my head straight.

Where's the fun in that?

I can't find my wallet. What?

It must have fallen out of my backpack
in Olympia's office.

Okay. Well, don't worry. I'll get it.
No, you don't understand.

There's a library card in that wallet.
And a punch card for ice cream. And not

in Queens where we fake live. In
Westchester.

I'm on it.

Hey, Maddie.

Hey. Hi.

Alfie forgot his wallet.

Want some ice cream?

Why would I want ice cream?

Because you look a little stone, Maddie.

Ice cream is my go -to. And I heard you
were hanging out with Senior, and he had

their old gravity chair out. Uh -huh.
Yeah.

I just, uh, I needed a fresh
perspective.

Ah. Did you want to talk?

I'm okay.

Just moving forward.

I'm moving forward. Yep, that's
backwards.

Yeah.

Darling, I've been trying to reach you.
And

you always said sugar

-free meant free of joy.

That's it?

Oh, get in here and hug my neck.

You've been so damn distant lately.

This morning I was saying to Cindy
Shapiro, Fudge it, she's my big sister

I'm going to go to New York and see what
the heck of duty she's up to.
