All language subtitles for Drop Dead Diva (2009) - S05E09 - Trust Me (1080p AMZN WEB-DL x265 Celdra)_track3_[eng]

See that
aspiring model there?

That's me, Deb,

until the day I died.

I thought I'd go
straight to heaven,

but there was
a bit of a mix-up,

and I woke up
in someone else's body.

So now I'm Jane,

a super-busy lawyer
with my very own assistant.

I got a new life,
a new wardrobe,

and the only people
who really know
what's going on with me

are my girlfriend, Stacy,

and my guardian angel, Paul.

I used to think everything
happened for a reason.

Whoo!

Well, I sure hope I was right.

♪ La, la-la, la-la-la-la

♪ La, la-la, la

Good night. Good night, Jane.

See you tomorrow.

Oh! Hold the
elevator, please!

Oh, thank you, Grayson.

Nicole.No problem.

So, do you guys
have plans tonight?

Oh, there is a great
documentary on PBS,

"From Cleopatra
to Michelle Obama:
The History of Bangs."

So... Whoa!

Hey! Whoa!

Hello! Grayson?

Yeah, hey,
this is workplace elevator.

Grayson! Grayson!

Hi, I am right here!

Wow. This is...
This is unbelievable.

Okay. Okay.
It's fine.

Okay, it's not fine.

Grayson!

Oh, my God! STACY: Jane.

Jane!

Wake up, sweetie.

I brought your dress
for the benefit.

Oh, thank you.

I was having another
Grayson-and-Nicole
sex dream.

The one where
you're in court?

This time, the elevator.

Ever since I saw
them kissing, it's all
I can think about.

I can't believe
I was gonna tell him
I loved him

and now he's seeing
someone else,

who works right
outside my office.

Maybe the kiss was
a harmless peck,

like when I kiss
my Aunt Charleen.

Well, unless you
kiss her with your tongue,
it's not the same.

And I think they're doing
that secret dating thing

which makes it even worse.

I'm sorry, sweetie.

How are you feeling?

Two more days
until I can take
the pregnancy test.

The suspense
is killing me.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
Owen left a message

and said he needed
to speak with me
as soon as possible.

Stupid, stupid thing.

Owen.

Hey.

Come here.
Let me help you.

Oh, good.

It's just like
tying your shoe,
only around your neck.

There you go.

Now you look like
one of those cute boys
from one direction

when they try to look
like Justin Timberlake.

Thank you, I think.

So, you wanted
to talk with me? Yeah.

Uh, Stacy,
I've been giving
a lot thought

to our donor agreement.

I've drawn up
an amendment
that better defines

the relationship
I'd like to have
with the child.

But please,
before you sign it,
discuss it with an attorney.

Okay.

Jane, I really admire
you for volunteering
at Shelter House.

It's an amazing organization.

I just give
free legal advice.

The woman to admire
is Violet Harwood.

She's right over there.

The way I see it,
if you're a trust-fund baby,

you either
become Paris Hilton
and make a sex tape

or you become
Violet Harwood.

She turned her
Beverly Hills mansion

into a safe house
for abused women.

Wow.
Nicole cleans up nice.

Why?

Hey, everyone.
I'm sorry I'm late.

Kim made me
drop off diapers
at her house.

You need to learn
how to say "no."

Okay.
Now that we're all here,
I have an announcement.

Even though we all know
the firm is in trouble,

tonight we act like
nothing is wrong.

So you want us to
put on our happy faces.

This event is loaded
with high-powered lawyers.

If they detect trouble,
they'll come after
our clients.

Is that a bad thing?

I mean,
if Parker's gonna sell,

why are we trying
to save our clients?

Because, Grayson,
we're not giving up.

Okay. What's the plan?

Right now the plan is
to have a good time
even if it kills us.

Excuse me.

What are you doing here?

Thought I'd schmooze a bit.

There are some big
names here at this party

who might be
interested in bidding
on Harrison & Parker.

But just so you know,
I'm rooting for you.

Okay.

I don't have $4 million
to buy out Parker.

Hmm. That's a shame.
Oh, champagne.

Mmm.
Pigs in a blanket
are awesome.

Food of the gods.

If I haven't
already said it,
you look hot.

Grayson.
I hate to spoil a party
with shoptalk,

but I need your help.

Judge Sanders,
anything I can do.

I've got a criminal case.

Public defender's
had a health scare.

I'd like you to step in.

The firm's been pulling
back on pro bono

while Kim Kaswell's
on maternity leave.

You're an officer
of the court.

You're going
to represent him.

Then I have a new client.

He's in lock-up
and expecting you tonight.

You should probably
head on over.

With pleasure, Your Honor.

Jane Bingum,
we finally meet.

I'm Lester Tuttle.

You're the one who's trying
to break up the firm.

I thought you'd
be greener, you know,
more like the grinch.

Actually, Jay Parker is. Greener?

Trying to sell the firm.Ah.

I'm just the middleman. Mmm.

And I must say,
with your track record,

you've certainly enhanced
the firm's value.

I'm surprised you haven't
been named a partner.

Well, ah...

There are a lot of
factors that go into that.

If Harrison & Parker
is kaput,

I'm sure
you'll have no problem
getting another job.

Well, thank you.

Especially since you're
no longer preoccupied.

"Preoccupied"?

First,
you were preoccupied
getting married,

and now you're preoccupied
not getting married.

Whoa. That's none
of your business.

It's all my business.

I value the firm
by valuing the assets,

and you are
a great big asset.

Seriously, I'm surprised
you didn't demand

to be named partner
a long time ago.

Jane.

Excuse me.Sure.

Hi, Violet. You look beautiful.

Oh, thank you.
So do you. Thanks.

Quite a turnout.
That means lots of donations.

Well,
that's some good news.

Why? Is everything okay?

I have to appear in front
of the Beverly Hills Zoning
Board tomorrow morning.

Why?

My neighbors.
They've hired a lawyer.

They're complaining
about the house.

They say that
there's excess noise,

too many cars on the street,

women coming
and going at all hours.

Are their complaints valid?

Not even close. Okay.

No, they want
to shut us down.

They feel like a house
for abused women

is hurting their
Beverly Hills
property values.

So the complaints
are just a pretext.

I have 10 women
with nowhere to go.

They depend on me.

Violet, why didn't you
tell me about this earlier?

The hearing
just got expedited.

Okay, you know what?
I'm gonna say good night,

go and bone up
on those zoning laws
for tomorrow's hearing.

Thank you. Yes.

Now mix, mingle,
and make lots of money.

I'll see you in the morning.

Oh! Hold the
elevator, please!

Oh, thank you, Grayson.

No problem.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

It's, uh...
God, it's after midnight.

I am studying
Beverly Hills zoning law.

What about you? Hmm.

Whoa. Is that scotch? Mmm-hmm.

You hate scotch.

Yeah, well, hoping for
a little inspiration.

You're worried
about the firm.

I don't have a plan.

If the firm gets sold,

people are
gonna get fired,
and it's my fault.

Your fault?

When I took this job,
I should have insisted

that Parker give up
his right to sell.

But I took him at his
word that he wanted
the place to continue.

I mean, he said the firm
was like family and,

after being on my own
for so many years,
I guess...

I liked the sound of it.

And, Jane,
even though I know
we're not a couple,

I'd be lying
if I said I didn't
like working together,

seeing you every day.

Parker put a deadline
on the sale.
A week from today.

What? That's crazy.

Yeah.

And I can't see a way out.

Anyway...

I should get
back to my office
and sleep this off.

Owen. Yeah?

I like seeing you
every day, too.

Kieran Dinescu,

I'm Grayson Kent,
your new lawyer.

All right,
the criminal complaint says

you were unruly
on a commercial airplane

and were removed
by a federal marshal.

I was sitting
in the window seat,

and the flight attendant
asked me to pull up the shade.

I refused, and when
she asked me why,

I told her it was
because I am a vampire.

I am a vampire!

Sunlight is deadly.
That's why I needed
the shade down.

Okay.

It says you hissed
at a flight attendant?

That's what vampires do
when we're anxious.

When I told her
I was a vampire,

the lady in front of me
started freaking out.

And pretty soon
everybody started
looking at me.

I got nervous,
so I hissed some more.

Come on, dude.
I'm your lawyer.
Quit the act.

It's not an act.

All right.

You're being charged
with interfering with
a flight crew.

That's 10 to 20
years in prison.

Calm down.

You don't have a record,

so we can probably
chalk this up to
a misunderstanding.

I'll get you out on bail.
We'll head to court
in the morning.

Do I have to go
to court in the daytime?

In the sunlight?

How about I file
a motion to move
your trial to night court?

Thank you.

Oh! Finally! You're home.

Okay.
Two quarts of Fudge Ripple.

Honey, did you watch
Marley & Meagain?

No, I am freaking out!

Okay. Oh.

Owen gave me this amendment
to our sperm-donor agreement.

He said I should
show it to a lawyer.

Okay.

Oh.

Owen doesn't want you
to disclose his identity

to your child
until he or she turns 16.

Yeah, and I'm okay
with Owen not wanting
any involvement,

but if my child wants to know
their father's identity,

I want to be
able to share it.

Sweetie... No more secrets.

I have kept your secret,
and it has been really tough.

I know. I know.

The problem is
you told Owen

you only wanted
his genetic material,

so you might have to
honor his request, but...

Ah! There's a "but."
I knew you would
find a "but."

But if you don't
like this amendment,

then the person
you should be
talking to isn't me.

It's Owen.

Commissioner,
all of these women

escaped dire circumstances

to start a new life
at Shelter House.

If you shut us down,
you won't just be
closing a building.

You will be
slamming a door

in the face of women
who desperately need help.

Thank you, Ms. Bingum.

Mr. Hart.

The neighbors appreciate
Ms. Harwood's charity work.

But she is running a charity

and is therefore
subject to stricter
zoning ordinances.

I agree.

I've submitted
a list of violations,

which includes
a lack of handicap ramp,

soundproofing,
adequate fencing.

Frankly, we're just
concerned that it's
potentially harmful

for the residents
of Shelter House.

Oh, please! Violet, it's okay.

We request that
Shelter House

be closed down
effective immediately.

These violations
are a pretext.

Shelter house is not
a commercial establishment.

Ms. Harwood simply
opened her home to
women in need.

Well, pretext or not,
the regulations still
have to be followed.

We're willing to make
the necessary changes.

We just need a little time.

You have 30 days.Thank you.

Okay, with the
right contractor, we can
make that deadline.

I'm sure of it.

I can't afford
those fixes.

Last night's event
made just enough to
keep the lights on.

Uh, I don't mean to be rude,
but aren't you really rich?

You're the heir
to a giant fortune.

My money is in
a trust that's controlled
by my brother.

I can't touch it
without his consent.

But you're
a responsible adult.

Yes, but I was
a reckless teenager

with a serious drug problem
when my parents
created that trust.

My brother was
the responsible one.

He was in law school,
newly married,
the golden child.

But you've turned
your life around.

Surely, your brother
can appreciate
the work you do.

The last few times
I've asked for money
for Shelter House,

he's refused me.

Well, we're gonna
ask him again.

And this time,
we won't let him say no.

Teri, I need you
to file a motion.

For the vampire case?How did you know?

Bloggers are all over it.

They're calling Kieran the
"Vampire who couldn't fly,"

and you're his
fancy new lawyer.

So tell me everything.

Does he sleep
hanging upside down
or in a coffin?

Is he kind of like a sparkly
vampire like Twilight

or a spooky nutjob
like Dark Shadows?

Kieran's just an odd kid
looking for attention.

Here. File this
motion to move his
trial to night court.

He doesn't want to
go out in the sunlight.

Of course not.
His skin would burn.

You pulled me
out of work to ask for
money from the trust?

It's important, Bill.

Request denied.

You've already
sunk $500,000
into your hobby.

Hobby? Mr. Harwood,
your sister is a saint.

No offense, Ms. Bingum.
This is a family matter.

I'm not gonna piss
away my family legacy
on a bunch of freeloaders.

You know, I reviewed
your trust expenditures,

and recently,
you spent $56,000

on a first-class family
vacation to the Bahamas.

Now, that sounds
like "pissing" to me.

I'm the trustee.

I control the expenses.
End of story.

Bill, mom and dad
wouldn't have given
you all the control

if they could see me today. You don't know that.

Do you see, Jane?

Every bit of my life
is controlled by this trust,

even this antique watch
from our mother.

It's worth $20,000,

which could help
pay for the work
at Shelter House,

but I can't sell it
because, under the trust,

I am bound to pass it down
to my firstborn daughter
on her 18th birthday.

I don't have a daughter.
I can't even have children.

The family put
the clause in the trust
because they were

afraid you were gonna
sell family heirlooms
to buy drugs.

I haven't done drugs
in 20 years!

Okay, if you won't
release the money,

we will have a judge
compel you to.

I've already filed for
an emergency hearing
for this afternoon.

Terrific.
See you in court.

Mr. Kent, what's it like
representing a vampire?

No comment.

What are your
chances in court?

Do you think Kieran's
gonna take the stand?

I don't discuss
legal strategy.

Tell me this.
Has he tried to
suck your blood?

What? That's ridiculous.

There he is!

Kieran! Kieran!

Billy Tyner.
Channel 3 News.

As a vampire,

what are your
biggest concerns
heading into trial?

What are you doing?
What was that?

All right. That's enough.
We're due in court. Let's go.

You promised me night court.

The judge denied my request.
I'll get the blinds drawn.

Kieran, I want you to know

that the vampire community
supports you.

You're the fancy new lawyer?I guess.

Here's a petition signed by
over 50 local vampires.

Can you please
give it to the judge

and let them know
that we demand Kieran's
charges be dropped?

Court doesn't really work
that way, but thank you.

Your Honor,
Mr. Harwood cannot

deny money to Violet
for arbitrary reasons.

My parents,
the grantors of the trust,
wanted the money protected.

And while that may
have been necessary

when the trust
was established,

it's important
to look at Violet now.

A responsible, sober,
and glamorous adult.

Even so, my parents
never intended the money

to be spent on upgrading
a homeless shelter.

Ms. Bingum?

Um, yes.

The thing is the terms
of the trust must evolve

with the maturation
of the beneficiary.

Hold on.

Ms. Bingum just argued
that "The terms of the
trust must evolve."

She's no longer
challenging me, the trustee.

Ms. Bingum is
now challenging
the trust itself,

and that is a violation
of the trust's
in terrorem clause.

What?

Paragraph 37,
subsection "B."

"Any challenge to the
trust by a beneficiary

"or someone acting
on her behalf causes
the beneficiary to lose

"all benefit granted
by said trust."

Ms. Bingum,
Mr. Harwood is correct.

Did you not
see the clause?

Well, I thought
the fact pattern would
distinguish this case.

There are no fact
patterns that void
an in terrorem clause.

I'm sorry,
but challenging
the trust means

that Ms. Harwood is
no longer a beneficiary.

Case dismissed.

Uh, what just happened?

I'm so sorry, Violet.
I think I just...

I just lost
your inheritance.

You are greedy, selfish,
and narrow-minded.

I am embarrassed
that you are my brother.

Violet, we need to go.

Do you think mom
and dad would approve

of how you spend
their money? Huh?

Everybody knows about
the million-dollar condo
you bought your mistress.

If that's how
you want to play, fine.

You're not just cut off.

I'm going after you
under the trust's
clawback provisions.

What are you talking about?

You'll have to pay back
every dime you've ever
received from the trust.

Okay, this is not over.
We will file an appeal.

Please don't, Jane.
You've done enough already.

Jane!

You missed a standard
in terrorem clause?

That's basic trusts
and estate law!

I was hoping the judge
would understand

that I was trying to
help a wronged client.

You thought a sitting judge
would ignore the law

because you were doing
the right thing?

Okay, when you
say it like that it
makes me sound like...

Violet. Stop.

My whole life
is Shelter House,

and I am not about
to sell it because
of your incompetence.

Listen, I am...
I am so sorry,

and I will figure out
a way to undo this.

No, I just spoke
with a good lawyer,

who said that I can
sue you and this firm
for malpractice.

She's filing right now.

What's going on here?

Butt out, Tuttle.

Every penny
that I owe that trust...

And that's
around $5 million,
I will get from this firm.

Violet, please,
there's got to be
something we can work out.

We can work
something out.

In court.

Owen, it's fine.
We have malpractice insurance.

It's capped at a million,
which means that the partners

could be on the hook
for the remainder.

Butt out, Tuttle.Why are you
even still here?

As Parker's proxy,
I can roam
these halls freely.

Jane, you do realize
that if we lose,

the remaining money comes out
of the partners' pockets?

Parker is not gonna
be happy about this.

Butt out, Tuttle!

Owen, I messed up,
but everything is
gonna be okay.

Trust me.

Oh! Oh, you want me
to trust you?

If Kim were here,
you'd already be fired.

I will fix this.

And when I do,
I want you to
make me a partner.

Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.

You need to have
your head examined.

Your mistake
could bankrupt me.

I am saying,
when I can fix my mistake.

Now, I'm gonna
go prep my case.

Oh, and you're gonna
need to represent me.

So, Ms. Taylor,
you were the flight attendant

that had Mr. Dinescu
removed from the plane.

You must have felt
that he was a threat?

Yes. He hissed at me.

So, just to be clear,

you felt that
he was a threat
to passenger safety?

Yes.

I noticed people
staring at him when
he boarded the plane.

And, frankly,
he weirded me out.

Nothing further,
Your Honor.

So, Ms. Taylor,
you thought Kieran was
going to bite someone?

He was pale,
he wore a cloak and
a hood up over his head,

and he had his arms
crossed across his chest

like he was laying
in a coffin, and...

So you didn't like
the way he looked?

Correct.

Do you always
remove passengers

when you don't
like their clothing?

Are you the fashion police?

He said he was
a friggin' vampire.

Did he threaten you
or a passenger?

No. Did he have a weapon?

No.

A flight attendant
recently removed
a passenger for wearing

a Princess Bride
t-shirt that read

"My name is Inigo Montoya.

"You killed my father.
Prepare to die."

Would you
call that a threat?

I'm not sure.

In that case,
the court ruled

the flight attendant
overstepped her authority.

Now, it's important
to be vigilant

but not paranoid
or vindictive.

I think it's pretty clear
the charges against

Kieran Dinescu
should be dropped.

Oh, Your Honor... No, I agree with Mr. Kent.

We're done here.

Mr. Dinescu,
you're free to go.

Congratulations.

What? Vampires don't smile
when they get good news?

I just got a text from
my boss at the zoo.

I've been fired.

He saw me on the news
and told me not to
come back to work.

I'm sorry.

I loved that job.

Is there anything
you can do to help?

California allows
at-will employees
to be fired without cause.

How about I call your boss?

See if I can
work this out.

Ms. Bingum, do you
consider yourself
a good lawyer?

I do.

You prepare extensively
before you go into court?

I try to, yes.

You try to?

So, sometimes you waltz
into court unprepared?

No, of course not.

But you
missed a standard
in terrorem clause.

Could it be that
maybe you didn't
give my client's case

enough prep time
because you were distracted?

I'm not sure
what you mean.

It's common knowledge
around town

that Harrison & Parker
is fighting for its life.

I'd find that distracting.

Well, it is upsetting.

I've given my
whole life to H&P.

You know,
and the people are...

They're like my family.

And the whole place could
just be gone within a week.

That's a lot
of pressure on me.

What about your home life?
Any distractions there?

Nothing stands out.

I don't believe you.

Okay.

Okay. Uh, my home life.
Let's see.

Oh, well, my best friend
is being inseminated
by my ex-fiance,

who is also my boss
and my lawyer

for the purposes
of this case.

And while
I am totally supportive
of that arrangement, it...

I guess it does
affect me in ways
that I couldn't foresee.

So, maybe you're
a little bit right.

My life is changing
on all fronts, and...

I have no control
over any of it.

So if you're asking me
if I was distracted...

Yes, ma'am.

I was distracted.

And I know that
that's why you're suing me.

And I'm so sorry.
I am sorry.

Can I go now?

I'm ordering a recess.

Ms. Bingum,
I suggest you
get some rest.

Hey, boss.
I brought you
a magnetic bracelet.

It's supposed
to calm you down
from traumatic events

like car accidents or
melting down on the stand.

It wasn't that bad.

I got e-mails
from the bailiff and
the coffee-cart guy.

They're concerned.

Is that how you
practice law here?

Behaving like
a complete lunatic?

Violet's lawyer was
really coming at me.

And it didn't help
to see your smug face
in the gallery.

You were
completely unprofessional.

I am not going to let
a complete stranger
berate me.

I'm gonna
go get some air.

Excuse me.

You are a mean, mean man.

And if you expect
me to validate
your parking now,

you are out of luck.

Excuse me.

Grayson.

Kieran called.
Did you speak
to his boss?

Yes, I did.

The zoo fired him
because parents heard
about the freak

who worked in the
nighttime animal exhibit.

Kieran's not
getting his job back

till he stops with
the vampire nonsense.

You need to see this.
I found it on Youtube.

Kieran made it
a few years ago.

I get it.

I don't play sports
or have a lot of friends.

I'm an easy target,

but I don't know
how much more I can take,
so please just stop.

Stop getting in my face.
Stop pushing me around.

Just...

Would it make you happy
if I just went away forever?

He sounds like
he was going to kill himself.

But instead he
pretended to be a vampire
to protect himself.

Maybe he thought
if people were
freaked out by him,

they'd leave him alone.

And it worked.

He has no friends,
doesn't talk to his family.

Kid's a total loner.

I hate bullies.

But you know who
pisses me off even more?

The kids who watch
and do nothing.

Teri, call the court clerk
and get us on the
docket ASAP.

I thought you said we
didn't have a case for
wrongful termination?

I don't think we do.

But a kid like Kieran
needs to see

that other people
will fight for him.

Your Honor, I'm bringing
an action against the zoo
for wrongful termination

under the California Fair
Employment and Housing Act.

Kieran Dinescu was fired
because he is a vampire.

You're contending
that vampires are a race?

If a native American
Irishman had a baby
with an Asian-Latina,

what race would
that child be?

The truth is,
it doesn't matter.

What matters is that child
deserves protection.

The distinctions of race
exist to protect people

who experience
the oppression of
being a minority.

Vampires are a minority.

And Kieran was
discriminated against

because of who he
is perceived to be.

Mr. Kent, are you asking

that vampires
be considered
a protected class?

Yes, absolutely.

You know what,
Your Honor, for the
purpose of this litigation,

we will stipulate
that vampires are
a protected class.

We ask only for
a brief recess to
rethink our argument.

Well, this ought
to be something.

Hey. Hey.

Do you have a second?

Of course.
Please, sit down.

So, I'm a little confused
about this amendment.

If my child wants
to know your identity,

why would you
want to hide it?

Stacy, someday
I want to have
a family of my own.

If your child
knows who I am,
it could complicate things.

But what if he or she

is curious about
where they came from?

You know, I want to
be able to tell them

that they have
a really awesome dad.

"Dad."

See, you said "Dad."

But you didn't get a dad.
You got a sperm donor.

That's what you asked for.

I wrote up the
amendment because

I sensed you might
be looking for more.

Right. Okay. Um... Okay.

I'm gonna go home
and sign the amendment

and then I'll bring it back.

Mr. Dinescu,
vampires are sensitive
to garlic, correct?

If garlic's
anywhere near me,
I become violently ill.

Would you mind reaching
under your chair?

What was that?

Garlic. And how are you feeling?

Objection. Badgering.

Your Honor,
since we stipulated

that vampires
are a protected class

for the purposes
of this hearing,

I'm trying to
establish whether or not

Mr. Dinescu is a member
of the vampire race.

Overruled. Proceed.

Vampires don't age, correct?

You remain the
age you were when
you became a vampire.

And when did you
become a vampire?

I was turned
about five years ago.

I'd like to enter
into evidence exhibit "F,"

a photo of Kieran Dinescu
when he was 15.

Do you think
you look older today?

I'm not sure.

Let's talk about blood,
which you need to survive.

What if I told you
that I am a willing victim?

So, go ahead,
express some fangs,
and bite my neck.

Objection. Badgering. Agreed.

Pull it back, Counselor.

Your Honor,
vampires are also unable
to be seen in mirrors.

Let's see if this holds
true for Mr. Dinescu.

Okay, that's enough.

Do you see
your reflection?

I said enough!

Mr. Kent, stay calm.

Obviously,
Kieran is not a vampire.

He's just a confused
young man.

Kieran.

Kieran!

Recess, Your Honor?

Granted.

Kieran!Leave me alone.

Look, that lawyer
had no right to
harass you like that.

I can deal with it. I want to help you.

Why?

Because you want to
feel better about yourself?

What's that
supposed to mean?

Has anyone ever made
you feel like a loser?

You were probably a jock.

You probably
got straight A's and
dated a cheerleader.

Kieran, wait.

Look, I can't pretend
to know what you've
been through,

but I know you don't
have to be alone.

All these people
came to cheer you on.

And as a former jock,

I can tell you
it feels good
to have fans.

And I'm gonna
keep fighting to get
you your job back.

I don't think your
vampire-race argument's
gonna work.

Well, I'm like a vampire.

Till you shoot me
with a silver bullet,
I keep going.

That's a werewolf,
but nice try.

I'm putting you
back on the stand.

I'm gonna
ask the questions.

You're gonna answer
"yes" or "no."

No colorful commentary.

I will be fine.
Calm and professional.

Pardon the interruption.

Tuttle,
what do you want?

Parker has made
a decision about
his future with H&P.

Yes, we're aware
he's selling.That's old news.

Pursuant to paragraph 12,
subsection 4

of the firm's
partnership agreement,

a founding member
has the right to
surrender his stake

if he is not currently
working at the firm.

So now that we're losing
a malpractice case,

Parker wants to bail
before the verdict

and leave Kim and I
to pay the damages.

Hey, no one said
we were gonna lose.

Based on my assessment,
you're going to lose.

Hence, Parker's signed
notice of surrender,
dated today.

Parker's no longer a partner?

That's right.
He's cutting his losses.

Adieu, adios,ta-ta.

Oh, and best of luck.
You're going to need it.

So without Parker,
we should discuss
my partnership.

Partner of what?
There's not gonna be a firm.

Owen, like I said,
I am going to fix this,

and then I'm gonna
redecorate that lobby.

I'm thinking leather sofas. You know what?

Fine. Fine.

If you can find a way
to get us out of this mess,

forget partner.
I'll make you queen.

I have always
wanted to be royalty.

Okay, we're
due back in court,

but first I want to
chitchat with that judge.

What are you talking about?

Owen,
you need to trust me.

Let me get this
straight, Ms. Bingum.

You called us here
to argue on behalf
of Violet Harwood,

who is currently
suing you for malpractice?

Right. That's right.

In advocating for Violet,
my former client,

I believe that the
malpractice case against me
will be dismissed.

Do you know
what this is about?No, Your Honor.

At this point,
my client has gone rogue.

And are you feeling
okay, Ms. Bingum?

Oh, never better.

Violet,
please tell the judge
about your watch.

Okay. Um, my mother
left this to me in the trust

with instructions
to pass it on to
my firstborn daughter

on her 18th birthday,

and then to her daughter
on her 18th birthday,

and so on down the line.

Kind of sounds like
a dead hand clause to me.

What's going on here?

You know,
a dead hand clause

prevents dead people
from exercising control
from the grave,

beyond a single generation.

So, for example,
your parents cannot
require you

to give your watch to
your firstborn daughter.

Someone who did not
exist when they died.

And since such
a clause exists,
the whole trust is invalid.

You're trying to
invalidate the entire trust
because of a technicality?

Why not?

We already know you're
a big fan of technicalities.

And what's good
for the goose is
good for the gander.

And I say we
cook this goose.

Your Honor,
this is crazy.

Mr. Harwood,
Ms. Bingum is correct.

The underlying assets
shall be distributed 50/50

between the
two beneficiaries,
you and your sister.

More than enough
to fix Shelter House.

I assume you want to drop
the malpractice suit

against Ms. Bingum
and her firm?

Absolutely.

So ordered.
We are done here.

I should have known
you were too smart to
mess up an in terrorem.

I don't know
what you mean. Oh, come on.

You planned
the whole thing out.
And Violet was in on it.

Shh!

I told you to trust me.

I told you
I would fix it.

You knew you
could challenge
the dead hand clause.

You knew it.
You had the whole
thing mapped out.

Well, it wasn't easy.
I had to wait till Tuttle

handed over Parker's
right of surrender.

But now that Parker's
no longer a partner,

you don't have
to buy him out.

Jane,
that breakdown
on the stand,

that was really convincing.

Acting.

Nice job.

Partner.

Thanks for coming in.
It's good to see you again.

She was number one
on the petition.
I called her.

Good.

So, I was looking at
your files from the zoo,

and I noticed you worked
60 hours a week,

but you never
got healthcare per
the employment manual.

Now, that's
a policy violation,

so we might be
able to compel your
boss to rehire you.

No.

I mean, no, thank you.

That's very nice of you,
but you can stop fighting.

Seriously,
I want to help.

I got a better job.

A guy on the petition
owns a veterinary clinic,

and he needed help
on the graveyard shift.

Twice my hourly rate,
plus all the blood
I can drink.

Kidding.

She says I need
to lighten up.

Well,
I'm happy for you.

Both of you.

You realize when
Parker finds out

we didn't lose
the malpractice,
he's gonna go ballistic.

That's another reason
I'm glad he's in Canada.

Yeah.

Jane, what you
said on the stand,

about this place
feeling like family...

Again, I was acting.

Yeah. Yeah.

Still, Parker turned
his back on the firm.

His departure
had to hurt.

As far as I'm concerned,
you stuck it to him.

Oh, after you.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Whoo!

What is happening? I called ahead.

Everyone, here's to
the second-best-dressed
woman at this firm,

a toast to my
boss, Jane Bingum,
our newest partner.

Hear, hear!

Thank you.

Play that funky music,
white boy.

Um, I'll be right back.

Partner! Yes.

I'm so proud of you!

Thank you.

And I have some
big news, too.

What? I'm pregnant.

You are? Mmm-hmm.

You are.
That's amazing!

Thank you.
I have never
been happier.

Am I glowing yet?

I think you are.

Wait. What about
Owen's amendment?

I signed it.

I don't want to bring
my child into the world
with any kind of conflicts.

You're doing what's
best for your baby.

All right,
so, I'm gonna
go tell Owen

the big news and bring him
the signed document.

Okay. Okay.

I will see you
at home, Aunt Jane.

I'm gonna be Aunt Jane.

Wow! Hey.

Congratulations, partner.

Oh, thank you.

Well, and I'm sure
you'll make partner
yourself in no time.

Uh, so, this isn't easy
for me to say to you.

But now that
you're a partner,

you need to know,
per the firm's policy.

Okay, what's going on?

I'm dating Nicole.

Oh!

Oh!

I see.

And per the firm's policy,
you needed to tell me that.

Yes.

I mean, you know
I had feelings for you,

but how much rejection
can a guy take, right?

Right. Of course.

Well, I...

I hope that you
and Nicole will...
Will be...

Uh, I'm sorry.
Excuse me.

Hey. What's up?

Everyone is in there
partying, and you're...

Are you crying?

Maybe just a little.

But you just
made partner.

Yes.

And that is something
the old Jane would have...

Would have really
been excited about.

And I am proud, too.
I am. It's just...

It's just my life isn't
just about my job.

This is about Grayson.

I do not want to talk
about Grayson with you.

You just want
to keep us apart.

Not true.
I want you to be happy.

Don't the rules say that
I shouldn't be with Grayson

because he was my soul mate

and now I'm Jane
and I should move on
with this life?

I guess.

Yeah, and won't
you get in trouble if
I don't follow the rules?

Maybe. I don't know.

Look, Jane.
I don't care
about the rules.

Life is short.

And if you
don't like the rules,
then let's make new ones.

You're either a really
bad guardian angel or...

Or a really good friend?

Hey. That is your
party in there.

Now, I say...
I say we go celebrate

a former model
who just made partner.

That doesn't
happen every day.

Okay.

Thank you, Paul.

Yeah.

There you are, Jane.

Here you go, all signed,
and I need to tell you...

Bup, bup.

I've been thinking
about our conversation.

And, as the child's mother,

I have to respect that
you didn't want to sign

that amendment
because you didn't think

it was in the best
interest of the child.

That's true, but, see, I...

I'm still not sure
how involved I want
to be with the baby.

But...

If you trust me enough
to use my sperm,

then I have to trust
that we're gonna be able to

figure out a way
to talk to the kid
about who I am, so...

Oh! Ha!

Okay. Okay.

Owen, I'm pregnant.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

Yeah, I took the
test an hour ago.

That's fantastic, Stacy.
Congratulations.
