Original subtitles

The law firm Jacobson Moore

hid documents that could have taken

opioids off the market and saved our daughter's life.

My dad told me to get rid of the study.

- What's going on here? - There was a security breach.

The leak in the New York office means senior is slipping.

I thought it was a good time

to assess the king's court.

Well, the law firm Lamar and Olson

want to merge with very favorable terms.

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

as we combine into one mean, lean, legal machine.

I should not have fired you, Sarah.

If you ever want back on my team,

I'll take you in a second.

I overheard Olympia's offer.

- Hunter, I'm sorry. - It's all good. Just tell me

in advance so I know if I should wear my nice suit.

Dad, is everything okay?

I'm forgetting all kinds of things.

I convinced my father to retire.

- Remember, warnings are subtle. - Responses are not.

- It was the wolf. - He was actively

involved in the cover-up.

I was just tracing the hush money

senior paid to Bury the wellbrexa study.

There is a cash withdrawal for 350k.

We've tied senior to the hush money.

Excuse me. Do I know you?

I don't think so.

You look pretty familiar.

Well, I do ride this dang bus every day.

Smooth liar. All right.

Come again?

Guys! Guys, it's Matty Matlock.

- Matty Matlock? - You mean Madeline Kingston.

- Matlock? - Is it Matty Matlock?

Hey.

Who are you?!

Are you Matty Matlock, or are you Madeline Kingston?

Did you break the law?

Do you regret lying to your colleagues?

Was it worth it?

Did you think you were gonna get away with it?

Come on! Who are you?

- Who are you? - Who are you?

It's everywhere.

I know. I saw.

And I'm the liar?

I'm so sorry we couldn't tell you.

- Grammy, you went viral. - I did?

Here's another meme.

Madeline, what on earth are you doing to Andy Griffith?

And why don't you ever do it to me?

I...

Hidey-ho!

Just tying up a few loose ends before the merger closes.

Could I have your bar card, please?

What? Why?

Did you really think you could be a lawyer after this?

Actually, there might be a way.

Kidding! You're definitely losing your license.

You might even wind up in jail.

Bar card?

- Who are you? - Who are you?

Who are you?

You okay?

Yeah.

Just thinking about the end.

Kids, I want you to hear this from me first.

I did something I am not proud of,

a long time ago, at your grandfather's behest.

He was... Whoa! Whoa, whoa.

Whoa. Too much "he," not enough "I."

You have to model accountability for the kids.

I know, but the difference between the person

I wanted to be in their eyes,

and the person I'm about to be...

You'll be the same dad, just one who made a mistake.

Can't believe we're at the end.

- I know. Just in time, too. - Yeah.

I got a look at the new corporate structure.

If the merger goes through,

it erases your dad's liabilities.

He'd keep his ill-gotten gains.

Tens of millions of them.

- Can't happen. - No.

Bringing his crime to light is the right thing to do.

We have to live our values.

Let's just hope Matty figured out the right person

to approach at the d.O.J.

I found the perfect person.

Are you sure? Because my dad has friends everywhere.

The bureau, the U.S. attorney's office.

If anyone catches a scent...

Don't you worry.

Our girl is a hedgehog.

A what?

Solitary creatures that nobody gives a cluck about.

And when hedgehogs get scared, they don't lash out.

They ball up.

The metaphor is not bathing me in relief.

A-A hedgehog?

- Battle hamster. That any better? - You know, not really.

Matty knows how to profile people.

She infiltrated a major law firm.

Let her cook.

Olympia!

I need to confirm your team.

I assume Mrs. Potts is staying put, but

- I wasn't sure about chip. - Who?

I think she means hunter.

Still deciding, Gwen.

I know. That was my way of rushing you. And Julian.

Seven days, eight hours, 32 minutes until the merger,

so turn in that paperwork. 'Kay?

Sarah has to choose you.

I'm not gonna be a lawyer

in seven days, eight hours and 32 minutes.

When is your meeting with the hedgehog?

Noon.

Let's go convince Sarah that Julian sucks.

Wow. Nice interview suit.

But after the merger, I am going to try to get you back.

Appreciate that, but I'm okay as long as I land somewhere.

Sarah, on the other hand, is not okay.

She just got huge news.

And when she tells you, do not laugh.

I made that mistake. You will regret it.

Okay...

Good morning!

Did hunter tell you what happened?

It's hilarious.

No, he didn't say anything.

Well, remember when I hired that pi?

No luck on my birth parents yet,

but he did track down my birth certificate

to an orphanage

which was overflowing with kids at the time.

And they mixed up my records.

Wow. I mean, that is big news.

- No, it's not. - It's not?

No! The big news is that I was only

six months old when the adoption closed.

But my parents didn't bring me home until I was two.

And I had the wrong birth certificate, right?

So, I actually wasn't two.

I was on the older side of three.

So, I'm actually not 28.

I have been 30 for the last four months.

Well, happy late birthday, kiddo.

- Thanks. - Your thirties are just

the beginning of the sweet spot.

That's right, and we just got a case

that requires maturity.

We're defending Felix dominguez,

the defendant in the laguardia airport trial.

The one where the lady died on the tarmac?

Yup. He just fired his old attorneys

because they were pressuring him to take a plea.

Felix swears he didn't do anything wrong.

Investigations and research and prep.

- My. - So, what do you say, Dorothy?

You want to follow us down the yellow brick road?

Or you could just go work for Julian.

Heard he's drafting a restricted

stock purchase agreement...

and a cap table memo for one of his start ups.

Dirty pool.

Client meeting in five.

Which I will be late for.

D.A. Barrett is popping by for a quick chat.

I'll meet you in there.

Welcome to the case.

Nine months late, but who's counting.

- You, apparently. - I could have had a child.

Regardless,

it's good to finally be across the aisle from you.

Heard how you fight for the little guy... in Louboutins.

And I hear that you read indictments

like bedtime stories.

Only on weekdays.

Let's discuss Felix dominguez.

And I pulled up to the plane, got out, and raised the ramp.

And you did your customary safety check?

Yeah. Ramp positioning.

Base stabilizer engagement.

And while I was doing that, I got the call from Izzy.

She thought she was starting contractions.

Braxton-Hicks,

but it was my first baby, and I was home alone.

I finished the safety checks before calling her back,

I swear.

But you were on the phone

when Margot pope stepped onto the stairs?

Yeah. The ramp suddenly dropped four feet.

I ran over when I heard the commotion.

She had already fallen and... And died.

Look, I-I was so upset,

I wanted to help the port authority.

But I know I said too much in my interview with them.

From the end of the transcript. "Yes, like I said",

"I'm pretty sure I locked the stabilizers.

"But my wife was so upset when she called, I guess maybe

"I could have forgotten. God.

God. Maybe this is my fault."

What was the point of you popping by again?

Felix's last legal team was really warming up

to a plea deal.

Which is why he fired them.

He took a klonopin.

I would never take that on the job.

I-I took one at home, because I was so upset.

Then two hours later, these investigators showed up, and

they-they did a drug test.

Which was excluded in pretrial motions.

Too prejudicial, no way to verify when it was taken.

I'm sorry I'm late. I was meeting with the prosecutor.

She's really tough.

She is, but we are tougher.

The airline's saying Felix was under the influence

and failed to properly stabilize the ramp.

A criminal conviction would help them

skirt any civil liability.

Big corporations only care about the bottom line.

I know I did my job correctly.

The bridge must have fallen for another reason.

And we will try to find that reason.

Unfortunately, experts examined the truck

and found no mechanical issues.

But the good news is,

we just have to create reasonable doubt

that your actions caused the accident.

And this team is going to do just that.

This is my third go-round with this doors top per.

I keep wanting a love story.

"Crime meets punishment,

crime loses punishment, crime gets punishment back,"

and then the rest of us live happily ever after.

A man wrestling with his conscience

and choosing justice seems pretty romantic to me.

I know.

I read your college thesis, lida.

Who are you and what do you want?

I have a criminal conspiracy

with more tentacles than a kraken.

Which means your bosses at the d.O.J. Can't know

about the case until an arrest is made.

What's the case?

A major law firm hid a study

that could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives,

and altered the course of the opioid epidemic.

My brother died of an overdose.

Guessing you know that.

I do.

And I'm very sorry.

You have proof that it happened?

I have the study, I have the financial trail,

and I have an informant who's willing to testify

in exchange for immunity.

It'll be very difficult

to secure a deal without informing my superiors.

I haven't led a sting... Because of those superiors.

This is your hero moment.

Not everybody wants one of those.

Well, maybe not, but you do.

Remember what you wrote in your eighth-grade yearbook?

"If a hero isn't coming, I will a hero become."

You trying to get a job at the FBI?

You build the cases, your bosses take the press conferences.

16 years of being invisible gets old.

You bring this in, everything changes.

Obviously, I can't agree until I get eyes on what you have.

Need a bookmark?

I have an extra at home.

My raskolnikov is named Julian?

Choosing justice is romantic.

Like you said.

Wait.

What's your name?

You sign on, and I'll tell you.

Well...

It's the strangest thing.

I just couldn't say my name.

Maybe because once I say.

"Kingston,"

it's over.

Can't put the genie back in the bottle.

You know, that's not actually true.

In a lot of the mid-tenth-century tellings,

the genies were actually tricked back inside their lamps.

- Edwin. - Well, I'm just saying.

Madeline Kingston could trick a genie back into a bottle.

No. Madeline Matlock could.

It's funny.

I've just focused for so long on... The end,

and I didn't spend much time thinking

about what happens after the end.

Well, it's going to be intense.

The press.

Your face everywhere. And mine.

Hopefully, they spare Alfie.

I know.

But we've got good lawyers.

We have to tell Joey.

After all that talk of honesty...

We'll just explain that it's for Ellie.

It's all for Ellie.

Thanks, mom. I'll be dropping the kids off to you

at the end of the week.

Bye.

Don't worry. It's not a subpoena.

I'm bringing aid from the front lines.

This merger is aging all of us in dog years.

- Hi, Eva. - Hi, Olympia.

Exosome serum. From my guy in coral gables.

Swiss. Fda-adjacent.

Possibly illegal.

But you put it on at night, and in the morning,

men are explaining things to you twice.

I thought the partners-in-charge

were arriving on Thursday.

That's why I'm here early and why I'm here talking to you.

I heard senior's retiring.

And I know all about his golden parachute.

So, what else is there for me to tell you?

The "why."

One minute, he's fighting the coup

like it's the battle of agincourt.

The next, he's stepping down before the ink is dry

on the merger he orchestrated.

Make an appointment.

Put him on the rack until he cracks.

I tried. Can't get past Stuart.

He's gate keeping more than usual.

No kidding.

Luckily, on Tuesdays,

he forgoes his usual working lunch for a massage.

- Thank you for the tip. - I got you.

- I'll let you know if I find anything out. - Okay.

Eva's in town early,

so you need to have lunch with your father.

She is a chaos agent.

Nothing can go wrong.

We are at the finish line.

And when you leave at 3:30 to meet the new babysitter,

make sure senior goes, too.

Okay, bye.

Every time I think we've whacked all our moles,

another one pops up.

Well, that's the nature of the game.

So, listen, I was thinking about our trial, and,

it might make more sense for me to take the lead.

Their first witness is a 70-year-old flight attendant.

So, if we're about to beat up on an old lady,

it might be better coming from an old lady.

Plus, it...

I don't know... it might be my last day in court.

We don't know that you'll lose your license.

Well, even if I don't, I can't work here.

- I'll fight for you. - Well, that won't work.

Then we'll strike out on our own.

I'm serious.

Matty,

we could start our own firm.

Lawrence and Kingston.

God knows you got the bank account to fund it.

Well, woman, if I'm paying for it, then I get top billing.

- Ooh. - Kingston and Lawrence.

We can negotiate.

We are going to keep practicing law together.

End of story.

I am about to lose a lot.

I'm not losing that.

Ready for court?

- Absolutely. - Let's do this.

Ready for court.

One minute, she was this lovely woman,

coming back from Maui with a fresh tan.

Then the ramp collapsed, and...

she was all blood and bone.

I am so sorry that you had to see that.

Your witness.

Colette, first I want to say how sorry I am, too.

And really wish I didn't have to probe,

but that's the dang job.

I know.

So, how's your vision?

Mine took a nosedive after I got my aarp card.

Well, astigmatism comes for us all.

But I wear contacts. I see well.

Doesn't that recycled cabin air dry out your contacts?

Sometimes.

When, specifically?

I'm-I'm not sure.

My research says 94%

of passengers who wear contacts report irritated eyes

after three hours.

That sound about right?

I mean... sure. About that.

And how long was that flight you'd just taken?

Six hours.

Sit on the tarmac for a while when you landed?

Another two hours.

Lord have mercy!

Those airlines are squeezing the last bit of fun

out of our vacations.

- Objection. - Withdrawn.

When my contacts are dry, my eyes get a little blurry.

Did you have blurry eyes?

No more than usual.

So you usually do have blurry eyes?

- No. - Sometimes?

- Well, yes, but... - And did you make sure

that that ramp was secure

before you allowed Ms. Pope to deplane?

I would never forget to do our cross-check.

And what does that entail?

A visual inspection.

With those blurry eyes?

- Objection. - Sustained.

Please disregard Ms. Matlock's last comment.

Apologies. Sometimes I get a bit feisty.

No further questions.

Quick redirect, your honor.

Was there anything wrong with your vision that night, Colette?

No.

And I will never forget looking

at that passenger's body on the tarmac.

Clear as day.

How far could you see?

All the way to the terminal.

It's been established that the defendant was standing 20 feet

from the ramp at the time of the accident.

Could you see

- his reaction to the fall? - Objection!

Ms. Barrett is trying to introduce

improper character evidence.

The defense called the witness's vision

into question. If she was able

to observe the facial expression of someone

standing at a distance, that should resolve any doubt.

Door's been opened.

I'll allow it.

Do you remember how the defendant looked that night?

I do. I was screaming at him to call 911.

Maybe he couldn't hear me over that engine,

but he just stood there. Dazed.

- Dazed meaning high? - Objection.

Withdrawn. Apologies.

Sometimes I get a little bit feisty.

Unbelievable. The D.A. managed to plant the idea of drugs

in the jury's mind. Did you prep Alvaro?

Because we need him to counter that narrative.

Yup. I've never prepped a prosecution witness before.

Does the D.A. know that Alvaro was good friends with Felix?

Nope. We're getting a free defense witness

on the prosecution's dime.

He'll help us rehabilitate Felix

and squash this drug narrative.

And can you figure out the engine sound

that the flight attendant mentioned?

The plane's engine was off by then,

and no other vehicles were assigned to that gate.

Could give us some insight into what really happened.

Hunter's already making calls.

Perfect.

Well, well, well.

Father and son bonding.

Someone snap a picture and put it on the mantle.

Eva, if we knew you were coming,

we'd have ordered the liver of snow white.

Says skippy, the dwarf so stupid,

he got replaced by dopey.

Run along. I have to talk to your father.

We're eating.

But by all means, stand there and watch us.

Stop chewing so loudly.

Ha. She's got that thing. Hearing people chew

makes her want to jump out of her skin.

Yeah. Misophonia.

That must be... torture.

So juvenile.

Howie, just tell me what's going on.

You always said retirement was worse than death.

And yet here you are... alive.

I'd say you were getting paranoid,

but you've always been like this.

I'm not paranoid. I'm perceptive.

And if you're moving pawns under the table, I need to know why.

All you need to know, Eva,

is that I am still managing partner,

which means you work for me.

And as for what I'm up to,

I'd fend off a hundred hostile takeovers

before giving you an edge.

Every damn day of the week.

Happy retirement.

Gift is in the mail.

Fruit of the month club.

- Hey. - Hey. Is now a good time to talk?

- Just for a few minutes. - Yeah, of course.

Please.

What's... what's going on?

I made a decision about which team I'm going to commit to.

- Olympia's? - Yours.

Look, I've given it a lot of thought.

And yes, Olympia's profile is higher,

but you stood by me when no one else would.

- Sarah... - And that is not the only reason

why I want to work with you.

I truly think we make a great team.

Well, we-we do, but...

as someone who cares about you and your career,

choose Olympia. She's a partner...

And she has her person... Matty.

I will never be inner circle.

And now that I'm... 30...

I want to make good choices for my career,

and for my spirit.

Because that is what

30-year-olds should be caring about.

Well, look, here's the thing.

I'm thinking about leaving Jacobson Moore.

Going somewhere else, starting fresh.

That sounds really nice, actually.

I could see the benefit of that for myself.

If you were to take anyone with you.

Right.

See, I just... Don't feel comfortable when...

So many things are up in the air.

If I knew for sure where I was going to land...

Understood.

Thank you for your honesty.

Julian may make a move.

Which I'm not supposed to talk about,

but Julian told me that Olympia knows,

which means you know. Right?

Right.

Are you okay?

I thought he would take me with him,

you know, like in the old movie

where that mission: Impossible guy

and the Bridget Jones lady leave with the goldfish?

- Jerry Maguire? - Who cares.

Look, Julian didn't want me enough to commit.

So I'm back on team Olympia.

Yay.

Well, it's not exactly a death sentence.

I mean, when I started, you thought she hung the moon.

I know. But with Julian, I'm inner circle.

He... really trusts me.

- Olympia does, too. - Not fully.

Yes. Fully.

You were dishonest because you were put

in a terrible position, and Olympia knows that's why.

And the why is important.

That's something you need to keep in mind in your 30s.

Well, I guess, bright side,

at least I'll get to keep working with you.

I mean it.

This year, there's...

There's been a lot of turbulence.

But your friendship has meant a lot, Matty Matlock.

Which is crazy, because... You're 80.

Like, how does a 30-year-old hang out with an 80-year-old?

I'm 77, missy.

You aged, not me.

True.

Mr. Beltran,

in your capacity as vehicle supervisor,

you were charged with making sure

that employees followed policy, right?

Sure was. Felix was always very conscientious

about our rules and regulations.

And was he adhering to those rules when he stepped away

from his vehicle to take a personal phone call

the day Margot pope died?

Technically, that violated policy.

But I'm confident it had nothing to do with the ramp collapse.

Ever see Felix intoxicated on the job?

- No. - Seems like you're pretty fond of the guy.

Would you tell the truth if you did?

Of course I would.

Ever see him take medication at work?

- No. - I'll remind you that you're under oath.

You never saw him take medication?

Well, I mean, a pepcid after lunch, but not drugs.

What about the day of the accident? He take anything then?

Absolutely not.

So the lunch room cameras

wouldn't show him taking a pill?

Well, I mean, it was probably just a pepcid.

So he did take something. Well,

what color was it? What shape? Did it have any marking?

- I don't know. - So he probably took a pill,

but you can't say for sure what it was.

Sidebar, your honor?

I'd like to revisit the admissibility of that drug test.

It was excluded.

Because there was no proof of relevance.

But my witness... sorry, your witness...

just gave us that proof.

I agree.

I'll allow the results of the drug test to be admitted.

Are you on your way out, dad?

Okay, great. I will call you tonight.

You're gonna talk to me alone...

Or I blow up the merger.

Hey. You must be the new babysitter. Come on in.

I have to assume I'm being followed.

Were you careful?

Mr. Markston, I've participated

in complex organized crime investigations

and multipronged task forces

that have brought down the biggest criminals

that you've definitely heard of.

Right.

Not your first rodeo.

I'm not an animal person.

Let's talk Turkey.

And this opioid study.

You removed it yourself from discovery?

If I say "yes," do you just arrest me?

That's not how it works.

But I could. Got to be brave, Mr. Markston.

How else are you gonna look your father in the eye

while giving testimony that puts him in jail?

Yes, I took the study out of discovery.

Do you think that'll be a problem?

Well, you're sort of the expert.

I meant, looking at your father on the stand

and putting him in jail.

With immunity?

Not talking about immunity.

I'm talking about the fact that your dad bailed you out

in high school when you were caught cheating.

Pulled strings to cover you in Ivy leaves.

Funded this swank-a-do place.

Plus, you got rugrats who probably love their pop-pop.

Have you considered the fallout?

- It's all I've considered. - Because

if I start the ball rolling,

and I pull every favor I've squirreled away

in the past 16 years of eating turd salad,

I need to know that you are not going to bail.

- I won't. - Why?

Because I don't want to become my father.

I'll need tonight to look over the evidence,

and if it holds up... You have your immunity.

Whoa.

Yeah. It is kind of a "whoa."

We're so sorry we lied,

but when you came into our lives,

we were in knee-deep, and we just couldn't risk it.

What do you think?

I think...

it's pretty badass.

And an amazing tribute to Ellie.

But, wait. You and Edwin broke laws, right?

So what happens to Alfie if you go to prison?

Well...

Locking up a little old lady isn't going to be a priority.

It happens, though.

When I was in there, my cellmate Barry was 73.

- Doing a dime. - Well,

I'm not doing a dime, and neither is Edwin.

Trust me, we've got a better defense attorney

on retainer than Barry did.

And in an emergency, Alfie would go to his aunt bitsy.

In Georgia?

- But we'd arrange for you to visit. - Yeah.

Or I could live here with Joey.

Stay in the house, stay at school.

I mean, if that's okay with you.

Okay? I'd love it.

Why don't you give us a few minutes alone

so the grown-ups can talk?

I know what you're gonna say.

I'm only a few weeks sober, there's no way I'd be

- a suitable guardian. - Well, yeah, exactly, and...

And I agree. I, I just

didn't want Alfie to think I don't want him.

Well, that's some good parenting, sir.

Assuming you want us to be the bad guys?

Penance for lying.

Damn. Matty Matlock, undercover agent?

Well, let-let me hear the accent.

- What? - Please.

Well, sorry, son. I...

I got to put my tools on the truck and get back to my case.

I got a passel of hassles.

Oof.

And I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.

It was a big loss for us that the drug test was admitted,

but it's a loss we can mitigate.

Izzy will testify that she gave you the medication

after you got home.

My wife can't testify.

What are we missing?

I took it from the hospital where I work.

I didn't want a prescription on Felix's record.

Ramp operators can't take anything with "drowsy"

listed as a side effect.

If she testifies, she'll lose her job,

- and she loves it. - Who cares if it keeps you out of jail?

Yeah, which it might not even do.

But it's worth the risk. Right?

It's... hard to say.

Might help.

But, if it doesn't...

Izzy, you have a new baby at home.

And you'll be exposed criminally.

As you know, the D.A. is very aggressive.

And we don't want both of your lives destroyed.

That would help no one.

It-it's a big decision.

Let's talk in the morning.

We'll call you.

God.

What do you think they'll do?

Not sure. But if Izzy testifies and she loses her job,

we take that case directly to Lawrence and Kingston.

Okay.

Don't you mean Kingston and Lawrence?

I think you heard what I said.

"K" comes before "I" in the alphabet.

Why didn't you tell me the old man's cheese

was slipping off the cracker?

Because he is about to retire.

And I know you don't like him,

but he has devoted his life to Jacobson Moore.

- Lamar and Olson could sue... - Stop talking. I agree.

It's no fun kicking a puppy.

Let alone a puppy with dementia.

Well, don't look so surprised.

I was once in love with the guy, and I do have a heart.

I'm shocked.

My money would have been on her kicking the puppy.

Did Julian get his immunity?

The hedgehog hasn't gotten back to him yet.

She'll call soon. The case is good.

If the arrest goes down tomorrow,

you'll have to run Felix's defense.

Or... maybe I won't.

Why? What are you thinking?

About what you said to Izzy.

How exposing herself might not change anything for Felix.

And it comes with a huge downside.

Why ruin two lives?

Which makes sense with us, Matty.

Maybe you shouldn't come forward.

- What? - The d.O.J.

Will center their case around Julian's testimony.

You coming forward is not gonna change the outcome.

It will expose you to criminal liability.

It will put your law license at risk.

It will stop... this.

And I just stay Matty Matlock?

Why not?

You know, Olympia said something funny.

We were talking about how all of this ends,

and... She floated the idea

of me staying Matty Matlock.

What does that mean?

Well, the d.O.J. Doesn't need Madeline Kingston

to come forward to prosecute their case.

I could stay at Jacobson Moore,

we wouldn't be hounded by reporters.

And I would stay dead?

Well, yes.

There's that.

Well, I didn't say yes.

I-I just didn't think of it as an option, that's all.

Well, I-I don't think it is an option.

I... I want to go back.

To what?

I-I don't know.

T-To our old life or...

parts of it.

Well, we'd be all over the news.

And we closed everything after Ellie.

I mean, no one misses us.

Well, at the very least, I would like to exist.

Yeah, fair.

I just... I guess I'm just feeling nostalgic.

That's all.

I mean, i-i, I prepared to say goodbye

to a whole bunch of people, and...

I forgot Matty Matlock.

Never realized how much I enjoyed being her.

What did you enjoy the most?

She smiles more.

She... judges less.

She's...

She's not a bull in a China shop.

Plus, she wears the most comfortable shoes.

Well, you can keep the shoes.

And hold on to the rest of the stuff.

Madeline Kingston would not shop at kohl's.

But, yeah, the other stuff.

I'm gonna miss her.

Got your text.

What's shaking?

On the case front, I found a post

in a Reddit subthread about air travel nightmares.

The day of the accident, a guy was going off on laguardia.

Said that he saw a fuel truck hit a ramp a couple gates over.

Wowza. Well, you never know

- where a Reddit post is gonna lead. - Right?

So I sent hunter out to look for the redditor.

And to get me coffee.

Because I want to talk to you alone.

I know about Lawrence and Kingston.

Olympia's thinking of starting her own law firm, right?

Right.

I knew it. Okay, so who is this Kingston?

Because I did a search in New York,

and there are no kings tons

that Olympia would want to partner with.

- So I'm about to go nationwide because... - Don't.

Why not?

Because there is no Kingston.

It's a code name that Olympia and I use in the office

so no one knows who she's partnering with.

Okay. So who is it?

I can't say.

You just said that you and Olympia trust me.

I am inner circle.

Got it. Message received.

Eva ambushed me.

I know I-I said something wrong. She knows.

And she and I spoke, and I took care of it.

Eva won't say anything.

I never wanted to be a burden.

You're not, dad.

I promise.

Sorry. It's the new babysitter.

Everything okay with the kids?

Are you alone?

No.

Soda is a definite no.

I had to lie to get Sarah

to stop looking for a lawyer named Kingston.

And now she... My father knows.

- What? - He's been playing us.

There is no dementia. He knows.

Soda is a definite no.

The bank records you provided

for Howard marks ton and eternal glamour are fake.

I looked up the accounts, they've been fabricated.

Okay.

My father

gave me those financials. He led us to Debra Palmer.

She must have been in on it.

How did a girl get so lucky?

My god. When we were driving back from the scientist's house

and we thought that we were being followed...

And we must have been.

I think that car has been following us for a while.

- Really? - I'm just gonna make a right.

- What? - Yeah.

Senior has been watching us.

He's been leading us down the wrong path.

It's okay. We still have the bones of the case.

He took the study from discovery.

Unless...

No.

He put the study back.

And if it's back... He can claim

the whole thing was a clerical error.

It just didn't get scanned into discovery.

There is no crime.
