All language subtitles for Matlock 02x01 The Before Times [2025-10-12 20-30] uswcbs HQ

I'm Madeline Matlock. I'm a lawyer, like
the old TV show.

Maddie, the judge ruled in our favor.
You're incredible.

Most of what you know about me is based
in truth, but it's also a lie. Good

evening, Mrs. Kingston.

Grammy! Oh, Alfie.

Who the hell are you? You looked at my
picture every morning and then came to

work and smiled to my face. You don't
trust me? Do you trust me? Look at the

evidence. Your ex -husband, Julian, hid
documents that could have saved lives,

including my daughter's. You're out of
your damn mind. Why are you hiding or

missing Paul Burke's study about
opioids? My dad told me to get rid of

study. Please, let's shred it.

Alfie found me somehow.

I think I'm his father.

Come in.

I suppose we should start at the
beginning.

Your name?

Joey. Joseph Danza.

He's a cute kid, Alfie.

Looks a little like my pops.

Is he here?

No, he's not.

Forgive me, but you didn't reach out to
a guardian before establishing contact

with a 14 -year -old, Mr. Danza, so it's
best to proceed with caution.

You know, you have to understand, until
a couple days ago, I had no idea I had a

kid. So it wasn't you who sent an email
after Ellie's funeral?

Oh, because I wanted to give you this.

Ellie left it with me when I last saw
her.

Maybe Alfie would like it.

Why don't we sit down?

So, yeah, I met Ellie in 08.

I didn't know her name for the first few
months. I just... Called her karaoke.

I'm clean now.

I should make that clear.

Glad to hear.

Since when?

2021.

We were in love.

That's my point.

She didn't tell you she was pregnant?

I was a mess back then.

How long were you together?

About two years.

Which takes us to 2010.

Ellie was pregnant in 2011.

Right, yeah, well, uh, I'm not great
with dates.

Ellie's iPod.

You gave that to her, right?

After her swimming victory?

Or was it the injury?

I'll give it to Alfie.

But I do have to insist on a DNA test
before I'm comfortable introducing you

my grandson.

I hope you understand.

Yeah, sure, no problem. We can make an
appointment at a lab.

No need.

DNA only requires seven strands of hair
with the follicular tissue attached.

Hey, who was that?

Alfie's father.

At least that's what he said.

We have to run a DNA test.

But he knew things.

Why were you late? You were supposed to
come directly from the bank.

Well, I had to copy all of Julian's
trust.

You'll see there was no payout from his
father or Will Braxton.

I'm telling you, Maddie, Julian would
never remove a document from Discovery,

much less one that could make a
difference in the opioid crisis.

So, now we pivot to Senior, like you
promised.

He obviously orchestrated it.

And I have a new lead.

Wait.

Where's your crime board?

Edwin wants us to send my evidence to
the Times and let them take it from

He's done.

I thought I could give you a month. But
now with this man showing up... And I

can't imagine what you're feeling,
Maddie.

But it does not change the facts of the
case. And the facts are you didn't find

a payout.

But that doesn't mean Julian didn't take
the document.

All roads lead to him.

All roads are your circumstantial
speculation.

Nothing that would hold up in court.

And, Maddie, you lose your one shot at
Senior, who you know is behind it.

Remember how you found that email? The
one senior sent from Australia that said

it's handled?

Well, I searched my archive emails, and
a bunch of execs from Wilbrexer were

also there on vacation.

Did you know that? And when senior
emailed me and Julian to tell us that he

going to Sydney to discuss a pre -trial
settlement, he also said he was bringing

his cute new friend from the gym in case
he had to suffer through dinner with

the wives.

I'll bet.

Mystery woman can tell us what really
happened on that trip.

Who Senior met with, what they talked
about. Hell, maybe she overheard the

when he gave the order.

That's a lot of maybes and a very long
road.

Maddie, the minute this goes public,
Senior will lawyer up and try to pin it

Julian. You know he will.

And there is no way that this does not
hit me and my kids.

We are in the blast radius.

Please.

I know our friendship meant something to
you.

If there's any hope for us to get it
back.

You think that's possible?

I don't know.

If I had said yes, you'd know I was
lying. We know each other too well.

Yes, we do.

But if there is a way back, it's this
way.

The fastest DNA lab takes two days.

While you wait on the results, just give
me a chance to find out this woman's

name, because I know how.

How?

What does that even mean?

That's not what we're talking about,
darling.

I know.

Are you mad?

No. I just wish we'd known you were
trying to find your father. It was all

Guardian stuff, and then I heard you
guys talking about an old email, so I

looked it up and tracked it to a
motorcycle club.

Do you think he's really my dad?

Well, we'll get the DNA results in two
days, but Joey definitely knew your

mother.

This belonged to her.

What is it?

It's an iPod. It plays songs.

She took that everywhere she went.

Love music.

Sing karaoke.

How are you feeling, Elsie?

Like, I want to find the right charger
for this.

Maybe on eBay.

You all right?

She's smart.

She's getting ahead of herself.

Joey used to call Ellie a karaoke.

Yeah, but you said he knew her.

Madeline, in two days when we get the
DNA results, our entire life could

Another before and after.

And if that's happening, I would like to
stay in the before times part as long

as I possibly can.

I understand.

Finished up in here.

Looks great.

Key can't be copied?

You're absolutely sure?

I'm sure.

We're staying in the before times,
right?

You keep a -cleaning, I'll keep a
-working.

What about Olympia? She'll keep a
-trying to convince me to give her more

to tie the Missing Well Brexit document
to Senior.

Madeline? I won't.

Dude, 49 years in, darling, you have to
let me finish my sentences.

Are you finished?

Never, but have at it.

When we send our research to the time,
you know your friendship is over, right?

Actually, I don't.

Our friendship is real and rare, and I'm
not ready to throw it away.

I just have to figure out a way to get
Olympia and her kids out of the blast

radius. That's all. And how are you
going to do that?

Well, I've got a terrific plan.

Highly detailed. It's mastermind
caliber.

So no idea?

Not yet, but I have two whole days to
figure it out. Don't worry, Bill. We can

handle this.

Listen, I'll see you soon.

That's what happens when you throw a
temper tantrum after getting passed over

for partner.

You quit, son.

Can't risk a security breach.

I had a plea deal on the books that was
supposed to be resolved today, and I

just got a call that new evidence came
in. So unless you want Bill Richards

furious with Jacobson Hoare... Hey, now,
the perfect solution.

I was just trying to get some time on
your calendar.

Partner business, yes.

In the meantime, do me a favor.

Take over Julian's case.

come out last night to celebrate my
amazing victory in court.

I had to brag about myself, which I
really hate doing, even though I'm

at it. Sorry.

Kalia and I were talking, and after I
had to decompress.

Why?

What's going on?

I just need a little space, Sarah.

Got it. Thank you.

And while part of me wants to give you
that space, the other part of me needs

you to know that I am here for you.

I do have to say it out loud to someone.

Thalia's pregnant.

Just checking.

It's yours?

Sorry, sorry.

And is she having the baby?

She's not sure yet, which means I'm just
waiting to hear which way my life goes.

My team is getting up to speed.

I'm sorry this happened. It's not your
fault.

But any decision about the other thing?

Someone else knows what you did,
remember?

And we don't know who that other person
is. We could need to check some more.

That's why we need to shred the
document.

Do you want us both to go to jail? No,
of course not.

I'll do it. While you're at work, just
tell me where you're keeping it. Stop.

Because even though what you did makes
me sick to my stomach, we have children

together. So I'm trying to protect you.

And that document is my only leverage.

I just want to help. Then go back to
your client and make sure when I walk in

that room, they trust me.

Tell me, Maddie Matlock, how do you feel
about the theater?

I love it, as long as I'm not in it and
I don't have to watch it. Why?

We're taking a case of Julian's. His dad
gave it to me to humiliate him. Senior

is the worst in every way.

Well, I know what you're trying to do.
Is it working?

Not in the least.

So, are we still in a theater?

Because one time I saw a modern
interpretation of As You Like It, and I

have a strong case for intentional
infliction of emotional distress.

No, today we are representing Maya
Richards, the 18 -year -old daughter of

hedge fund client. She and her best
friend Georgia were arrested six months

after they broke into their high school
theater and threw a party. We represent

both girls? No, Georgia's with Gibson
Dunn. But the two law firms have been

working in concert, and two entities
working together towards a common goal

exponentially more effective.

That land any better?

Not in the least.

So the girls threw a party in the
theater. Big whoop.

Why does the state care? Because after
they left, the theater went up in

Hundreds of thousands of dollars of
smoke damage and the director's office

burned down.

Investigation concluded the fire started
with a space heater left on. And the

judge was going to sign off on
misdemeanor trespassing this morning.

longer than I usually like it.

A second fire report came in.

And the second report indicates that
there was an accelerant called nitric

at the site of the fire. And
unfortunately, the presence of

crime rises.

To felony arson. What?

We brought food, booze, little speakers,
not nitric acid.

I know. And the good news is the
original report found no evidence of

So I really think we can convince the
ADA to honor the plea deal. But if not,

then what? Oh, my God.

We could get up to 25 years in prison.

That's not happening. We can still push
this deal over the line. We just have to

stay the course.

Okay? Good.

Now, let's get to court.

Why isn't Georgia here yet? We drove the
same way.

Well, they probably just hit a patch of
traffic.

Apologies, Your Honor. I had to attend
to some late -breaking developments.

I'm all ears.

Due to new evidence, the people moved to
the Smith, the original charges, and to

file a superseding indictment against
Maya Richards for arson in the third

degree. What?

Your Honor, we are here to finalize a
plea. A plea that's off the table, given

the new evidence.

The people don't have new evidence. They
have a new opinion.

The people have a new eyewitness, Ms.
Richards' co -defendant, Georgia Brandt,

who found the courage to tell the truth
about what happened that night. What?

Georgia will testify that Maya Richards
had both the opportunity and the motive

to set their school theater on fire.

Georgia thinks I burned down the theater
because I didn't get the lead in the

play. That's crazy.

Crazy or not, she came forward first, so
she controls the narrative.

She said you were acting weird all week
and disappeared during cleanup.

Georgia must have figured it was her or
you. Well, then it was her.

It could have been.

She went back in after we left. What do
you mean she went back in?

She forgot her cocaine.

What? I'm sorry. I didn't say anything
before because I didn't want to get

Georgia in trouble. Maya, you need to go
home and make a list of every bad thing

Georgia has ever done. If she's so much
as littered, we need to know. From this

point on, she is not your friend. She is
your adversary.

Got it?

We need to find a motive, even a whiff
of one, and construct a new narrative

that pins this on Georgia. What do you
say we interview that stage manager

fellow? His notes on that party are very
detailed.

A high school kid took notes at a party?

What a hero.

I'm sure that's his nickname around
campus.

It looks like these were written in
hieroglyphics. Oh, that's theater speak.

Luckily, I have a friend who can
translate.

Let me guess. Cindy Shapiro? Oh, don't
be silly.

Everybody knows the only stage Cindy
managed was in Vegas when she set front

center so she could tell those
Chickendales boys exactly where she

Come on, kids.

Let's get to work.

Actually, Maddie, hang back a minute.

So. Roses or tulips, just got slightly
more complicated.

Okay, so Senior sends women roses when
he asks them out, tulips when he dumps

them, and, I guess, peonies when they
shake the sheets.

Joke all you want, but I'm telling you,
the easiest way to find Mystery Woman is

by looking up who Senior sent flowers
to. I tried to get the info from Stuart,

but apparently Senior sends them
himself, probably because he is a serial

cheater.

His Rolodex is on his desk.

You want to stand watch tomorrow?

As fun as that sounds, I'd like to
propose another option.

Take control of the narrative yourself.

Go to the New York Times, with me or
without, but bring my research and you

present it.

That's how we get you and the kids out
of the blast radius. You're not the ex

-wife of a criminal.

You're a hero. I'm not implicating the
father of my children. He implicated

himself.

This way you get ahead of the story.

You shape it. And senior gets off with
no jail time.

Now, how is that justice?

It's not perfect.

That's where we are now.

And as soon as those DNA results come
in, evidence is wrapped up. And I agree.

I have to focus on my family.

Please, just think about it.

We need to discredit this new arson
report.

So, who's your theater expert?

Of course I'll help. You know how much I
love the theater.

Thank you. Please, for the love of God,
do not take him to jail. Do you remember

when I played Jacques in As You Like It?
All the world to stage and all the men

and women merely players. Oh, God help
me.

My performance was epic. My students
talked about it with rapture. But it

couldn't have had anything to do with
them wanting A's.

Okay, how did it go with Olivia?

Convince her to come around to our side?

I made my offer and she counted. Let me
guess.

Focus on senior.

Yes, and the thing is, she's not
entirely wrong.

You see what's happening here, don't
you?

Oh, I'm just manipulating you.

No, she's not.

Are you sure?

You have a lot going on with Alfie and
Joey.

Edwin, I'm fine.

I just need her to see my point of view.

Okay. I just want to make sure you don't
see hers.

Yep, nitrogas, it is a banger.

No reason for it unless you're trying to
burn something down.

Objection. Speculation. Sustained. Can
you explain how you know that nitric

was used on this fire?

Well, burn patterns show mixed light and
heavy floor scorching with well

-defined edges.

Classic signs of a nitric acid pour.

Any chance a common household item like
metal polish could have accidentally

caused this fire?

No. That type of stuff only contains
trace amounts.

The high concentration here proves
intentional use.

It's the only credible conclusion.

Your witness, Ms. Lawrence.

If it's the only credible conclusion,
why did the first investigator rule it

wasn't arson? Fire is a sneaky little
mistress.

Loves you and leaves you. By which I
mean, she obliterates the evidence.

Hard to figure out exactly what happened
once she's gone.

Is that why arson forensics has been
largely debunked in the last several

as junk science?

Traditional methods like the ones the
first investigator employed limits

accuracy. But your methods don't. Nope.
I use AI.

Same type FEMA uses. Trained on
thousands of fire scenarios to detect

the human eye never could.

Takes the guesswork right out.

Leaves us with facts.

Facts led us to arson.

Did Claudia give you an answer?

No. She wants to meet tomorrow in
person.

Okay. One more day.

How do you feel?

Excited to know how Valia feels.

So, Annie's inside?

Well, she is our theater expert.

Looks like wrangling cats at a mouse
convention.

They're lucky you run such a tight ship.

Don't need to butter me up. Just get
straight to the point.

I spent my whole life with actors. It's
all about motivation. You clearly want

something, so spit it out. Because at 4
.30, I lose half my cast to lacrosse.

Fair thing.

These notes that you gave the
detectives, they're borderline

I know SR, stage right, SL, stage left,
upstage, downstage, but what's all this

doing? The left column is the list of
theater supplies. That's what TO stands

for, theater. The right column is
outside supply, OS, which is anything

in by G, Georgia, and Maya.

I didn't want them using the theater's
cups when they're doing shots or playing

beer pong. Oh, you take very good care
of this place. That's not flattery. It's

just a damn fact.

And I'm guessing that's why you stayed
late. Make sure Maya and Georgia cleaned

up. Exactly. Then I hung out across the
street to make sure they locked up when

they left. That's in the report.

Is there any chance that you saw Georgia
go back into the building after she

left? No, but I was snapping, so I might
have looked away for a sec.

I assume you don't mean... Kicks and
texts sent over Snapchat that

Try to keep up, counselor.

Oh, believe you me, I'm trying.

You have one more minute.

Good, because I have one more question.

Good news.

I got a lead on a new eyewitness. Who
could have seen right into that

office? Elliot said he saw someone cross
upstage, stage level, anyway, at the

end of the block.

A Latino man walking a dog. That's your
big lead? You didn't let me finish.

A small dog.

You see, dogs and people, they're
preachers of habits.

Dogs have to weed. People have to walk
them on the same route everywhere they

live. So if our man walked his dog here
at the Saturday night of the party,

he'll walk here again at some point.

So they're on a stakeout while we're on
a stakeout. Well, technically, it's more

of a lookout.

Go get the name of the flower shop.

I did my missions by myself.

What brings you to the executive floor?

Looking for you.

I'd deny it if you told any of the
ladies from Canasta, but I slept

like a tick on a deer after you gave me
one of those edible gummies. I wanted to

buy some more.

Ask Stewie. He buys them for me. Okay.

Why do you treat your son like that?

What did you say?

Given Julian's case to Olympia, whatever
parental lesson you're trying to teach

there, that dog won't hunt.

It seems to me that because I've eaten
an edible gummy with you, you somehow

believe that you and I are equals and
that it is in any way acceptable to ask

about my relationship with my son.

So let me be clear.

We aren't. It isn't.

And if it happens again, you will learn
just how much weight my name carries.

Because it will follow you to every law
firm where you try to get a job.

After you're fired from Jacobs and
Moore.

Kind of contrary to New York employment
law.

Laws don't touch people like me.

Only kidding.

At least that's what I tell a jury.

Hey, Mrs. Kingston.

It's Joey.

I'm calling because I think we got off
on the wrong foot.

So once you have the DNA results, I was
hoping we could sit down again, talk

through arrangements for Alfie.

I got the name of the flower shop.

Now we just have to... Are you okay?

What happened?

Alfie's father called.

You got the DNA results back?

No.

I know it's him.

How?

Ellie was a great swimmer.

And at the state championship, she
pulled her terrace major.

And it was so excruciating that the
doctor prescribed pain meds to get her

through the worst of it.

That's how opioid addiction starts for
so many. Not Ellie.

I told people that story.

But it was a lie.

Because it was easier for me to tell my
friends that my daughter was a drug

addict if it came from a doctor, rather
than admitting that she was struggling

and I missed it. And she took pills at a
party.

Anyway, Ellie overheard me one time, and
she said,

You were ashamed of me, and you took the
one thing that I was proud of, my swim

victory, and you turned it into
something ugly.

And this guy, this Joey, he knows that
story.

So he must have been someone important.

I have a tissue.

You know, I carry them now because of
you.

There you go.

Thank you.

At some point, you have to forgive
yourself.

Not until I find justice for Ellie.

And justice means bringing down Senior.

You're right.

I beg and I'll be above the law.

Can you convince Edwin?

Joey left you a message.

Are you okay?

I am now.

I broke down and Olympia was pretty
great. Enough, Madeline. I don't want to

hear about Olympia.

She cares about Julian. I care about
ending this.

Hey, Maddie. How's it going?

Y 'all packed up?

On some new adventures.

But, um, it's been nice working
alongside you.

I'll remember it always.

Oh, hey, Olympia's still in court,
right?

Georgia, you told the court on direct
that while you and Maya were cleaning

she grabbed a trash bag and disappeared
for about 20 minutes.

Yes, that's right.

So to be clear, you didn't actually see
Maya start a fire?

No, but everyone else had gone home, so
she was the only one left.

Well, not exactly the only one.

After you and Maya left that night,
didn't you go back inside the building?

Yes, I went back in, but it was quick.

Like less than a minute.

Gotcha. Let's discuss cocaine use.

Isn't that why you went back inside of
the theater that night?

To retrieve your coke stash?

I object to this entire line of
questioning.

It goes to motive.

I'll allow it, but get there fast.

Yes. And how much do you spend on
cocaine a week?

Maybe like $100, $200, but I swear it's
not just for me. Wow.

A lot of money. I'll direct your
attention to People's Exhibit H.

It's an insurance report filed by the
school.

Georgia, can you read the highlighted
section out loud, please?

Electronic equipment, three laptop
computers, seven tablets.

15 SSD drives.

Estimated total loss is $14 ,500.

Georgia, did you start the fire to cover
up that you were stealing from the

theater to fund your drug habit?

Objection. Withdraw.

May progress with Georgia. Please tell
me Sarah and Billy found the dog walker.

No, but I made progress on her other
case.

According to a young lady named Ashley.

who loves making TikToks, her boss at
the flower shop sucks.

She can't believe he's making her work
tomorrow.

Aw, are you saying that this young lady
named Ashley seems pissed enough that

she would give us customer information
from 14 years ago, even if it goes

against company policy?

Good thinking, kid.

We have to find out everything about
Ashley so you know how to approach her

the shop tomorrow.

Right. Come back to my place.

Julian has a kid that has something. He
didn't get a hold of you?

Look, Ted had a stomachache. He said he
was taking her to the Brownstone.

Julian went to the brownstone?

Mm -hmm. Oh.

Oh, yeah, he texted me. I missed it.
Let's go.

Julian?

Julian?

Hi. Hey.

How's Ted? I better book him to our
sleep.

I know.

Oh,

God.

My billing, Cooper.

There's a...

There's a leak in my apartment.

Is there somewhere I can talk about it?
Come with me. Okay.

Everything okay?

Madeline, I think I saw Joey outside our
house.

What? I'm sorry. I forgot to text. Did
you? Or did you come here to look for

document? Absolutely not. Dad is more
comfortable here than myself. If I find

out that you're lying, I am done helping
you. I'm serious.

Go now.

about Olympia.

Olympia is prioritizing her family. Why
can't you? Everything I'm doing is for

her family, Edwin.

Stop saying that.

It's too much, Madeline. I can't do it
alone.

You're not alone.

I'm glad Joey's gone, but...

Obviously, we have a lot more to talk
about, and I can't now.

Just please don't let Olympia suck you
in.

Stay focused.

Maddie, you okay?

What did Edwin say?

He's convinced you're manipulating me.

And because I'm emotional about Alfie's
father, I can't see it.

Tell me you found the dog, Walker Billy.

Yes. And did he see anyone in the
director's office that night?

Okay, bye.

The person he saw wasn't Georgia.

It was Maya.

This is hard for Maya to talk about, and
obviously I just found out, but my

daughter was catfished, I guess is the
term.

She met a boy online, and she thought it
was real, but it was not.

She sent some pictures.

Naked pictures.

This catfisher was blackmailing you,
Maya?

He was going to send the pictures to my
whole contact list.

That's why I wanted to throw the party.

We charged, and I turned it into crypto,
but the director's office was the only

place where a decent wife had to
transfer it to him.

So I told Georgia I was taking out the
trash, but I didn't sort of fire her

anything.

We are both really sorry she didn't tell
the truth earlier, but this is good for

us, right? Like, it blows up their
theory about motives.

Unfortunately, it also places Maya the
same right before the fire started.

How could Maya's parents not know what
was going on?

Because there is no way on earth to know
every single thing that goes on with

kids. There are a million different ways
for things to go wrong, and parenting

is the hardest job in the world.

And most of the time you feel like
you're failing.

So all you can do is show up your best
every damn day.

Hey, everything okay, Billy?

Yeah, all good.

Claudia's pregnant.

And it's his.

Obviously. She's deciding what to do and
we're meeting for breakfast tomorrow. I

guess thinking of parenting was making
me stable, apparently.

Understandable.

How else are you feeling?

Whatever Claudia chooses, I'll support.

That's not what Maddie asked.

She wanted to know how you are feeling.

I guess I feel like... Claudia broke my
heart.

Then I got over her. I mean, yeah, sure,
I was responding to her booty calls,

but she was on the pill, so how did this
happen? Because all I want to do is go

out on hot dates with other people and
by my own couch that I get to pick out

alone. I do not want to be...

A father I want to unsubscribe from this
baby.

And that is a totally valid way to feel.

Billy, when you meet with Claudia, you
support her decision.

And afterwards, you come back here and
we'll support yours.

Because this team, we stick together.

I'm sorry I have been so snippy. Oh,
it's in here.

Billy just about stapled his hand to the
desk today, and he's freaking out about

becoming a dad.

Dad, when?

Oh, God, I'm so sorry.

I shouldn't... I've been Alfie's dad his
whole life.

Joey's his father, isn't he?

Just tell me how you know.

Well, actually, I don't.

He got his timelines all mixed up, and
that's a big red flag in the legal

Either way, we'll know tomorrow.

So tonight, you want to forget our
problems and focus on someone else's?

this case could use some fresh ice.

Well, my cataracts have cataracts, so I
don't know about fresh, but... Yes. Yes,

I will. Okay, great.

Because... I need to place Georgia in
the director's office to prove she

nitric acid into the party.

Well, and as you like it, stage managers
are the comings and the goings of...

Ooh. Huh.

Oh, scared me.

Yeah.

Huh.

Baby, you're a genius.

Stop.

Good morning, Maddie.

Good morning.

I know how Georgia brought accelerant
into the party.

Mr. Tanner, could this ping pong ball be
the source of the accelerant found in

your report?

I mean, ping pong balls do contain
nitric acid, but one doesn't have

close to the amount needed to create the
concentrated levels found at the scene.

How about three ping pong balls?

Still not enough.

Ah.

How many would it take to achieve what
you called a banger?

I'd say minimum 25.

Here's 50.

Objection. Relevance? I think it's
plenty relevant when ping pong balls

nitric acid.

And according to the stage manager's
notes, already in evidence, there were

in a bag G carried into the theater. G
is for Georgia. She brought them in for

beer pong.

That seems pretty relevant.

Continue.

Mr. Tanner, would 50 ping pong balls
produce enough accelerant to

cause a reaction when in contact with a
space heater left on for too long?

It would.

Definitely. Georgia shouldn't have sold
Maya out. Now she's got a misdemeanor

trespassing and Maya's got a clean
record.

Well, always better to stick together.
Every day, twice on Sunday. Billy, what

did Claudia decide?

Abortion or saddling you with a baby you
don't want every other week?

Actually, we chose the third option.

We're having the baby and getting back
together.

Congratulations. Guess what came?

Yes, the charger.

I can't wait to your mom's playlist.

I wanted to apologize.

I didn't look for the document.

But I thought about it.

I was spiraling. I was feeling shut out.
But I promise it won't happen again.

Agreed. Because with my new salary, I'm
buying you out of the brownstone.

And to save you, I have to build a solid
case against your father.

So you need to make things right with
him.

Because I need your access.

I'm sorry?

The way I quit, it was immature.

Right now, I don't know if I should go
out on my own or go lateral to another

firm, but I know I'll be better
positioned if I have a job while I

out.

You're saying you want to come back to a
demotion and a huge pay cut?

Yeah.

Wait.

I'm here.

Okay.

Hoping not.

Joey's Alfie's father.

Any other tests you ran?

I'm not sober.

All the more reason to land this wild
breakfast plant and get the hell out of

here. Are those tulips from Olympia?
Yep.

Love, Deborah Palmer.

Looks like she found out mystery woman's
name.

Look, you're not the only actor around
here.

I have to.

Olympia's manipulating you. I just need
her to see my point of view.

I just want to make sure you don't see
hers.

You're right.

Justice means bringing down demons.

I don't want to hear about Olympia.
Edwin, 49 years. Let me finish.

She has this key from a bank or a home
safe.

Julia went to the brownstone?

Oh, yeah, he texted me. Let's go.

Olivia is prioritizing her family. Why
can't you do that?

You're not here.

Joey is circling around, and it's too
much, Madeline. I just can't. I can't do

this.

I can't believe she hid the document.
I'm just glad our little smoke cookie

the trick.

Oh, baby, you're my smoke cookie.

You ready to end this?

Right to the New York Times.

I would like to meet as soon as
possible.

to discuss illegal activity by the law
firm Jacobson Moore

with regards to Wellbrexa and their role
in the opioid

epidemic.

I have a document they hid.

Here we go.
