Nobody ever said
it was easy...

Hey, Riv.

Frank.

Wait.
You kidding me?

She won the office
football pool?

Two weeks straight.

Frank seems a little
overly surprised, Riv.

That's 'cause Frank's
not a believer.

What's your system,
Bambi?

You pick the team with your
favorite color jersey?

Careful, brother;
she bites.

It's, uh, a little more
scientific than that, Frank.

You know, a Cowboy

can shoot a Cardinal,

a Buccaneer
can kill a Dolphin.

So on. Donut?

That's a bagel.

Same difference.
Hole in the middle.

I got to get
to a meeting.

Thank you.

See you around, Frank.

Be safe.

Who'd you pick this week?

Oh, wouldn't you
like to know?

Seriously, how do
you win that thing?

(cell phone ringing)

Oh. Can you, uh...?

Thanks, Riv.

MARTINA:
Hi, Ma.

So listen, your
father and brother

are going to drop
by the dresser

to your apartment
this morning, okay?

Oh, great. Thank you.

Thank them.

Martina says thanks.

Whoa.

Our pleasure, baby.
Tell her there's no
such thing as a free lunch.

All right. Keep moving.
You're killing me, here.

Uh, what did Albert say?

He's saying that he still
wants you to invest

in that phone app idea.

Which one?

The one where you can find

ticket brokers
at sporting events.

Not scalpers.

He means scalpers, okay?

And first of all,
I need to find out

if this idea is even legal.

Second, I'm going to have
to see a business plan...

Sorry, Riv.
No, it's okay,
it's okay.

Oh.

So Martina's getting
Grandma's dresser, huh?

You know, I'm just saying,

nobody gave me
any of her stuff

whenever I got
my own place.

Honey, she wasn't dead yet.
Still.

She wouldn't have known.
(laughs)

BONNIE:
They love you more.
Hey, Bon.

Oh, I'm borrowing
your jacket, Ma.
Not that one.

Come on, Charlie, we're
gonna be late for school.

Ma, how is everyone
getting into my place?

I made them copies of my keys.

So everyone has keys
to my new apartment.

Do you have keys to our house?

Yeah. Since I was 12.

And I'll never take them back.

I got to run.

Bonnie's stealing
wardrobe again.

Bye, Ma.
All right, I'm ready.

Come on, don't
hold back on me.

What's the secret?

Just... give me...

I am your private investigator.

I will find a way.

You're late.

Hey. Cyndi.

Oh. Your I-9 in here.

And your driver's license
that isn't expired this time?

Yes. And yes.

So now can I get
my first paycheck?

I've only been here
seven weeks.

I will see what I can do,

but I think you probably
missed this pay cycle.

If you need some money,
I can spot you.

Oh, you're sweet. Thanks.

I'll... I'll be okay.

Good morning, Riley.
Let's go.

First-years get
to watch the master

sell the splendor
of all things Stark & Rowan.

Mmm, you just like to remind me
you've been here a year longer.

Do you know
what this is about?

Uh, the football player
with the concussions?
Yes.

The client fired
his attorney

for wanting to settle
too small and too quickly.

Donovan has to show them
we've got a bigger appetite.

Shouldn't we ask
for a continuance

so we have more time to review?

Trial date's only a week away.

If we want to show a lack of
confidence in our case, sure.

Just let the partners
make their pitch.

Resist the urge to speak.

Unlike your former lawyers,

we want to push for
loss of earnings,

along with damages
for negligence.

DONOVAN:
Nolan.

NOLAN:
$6 million is what

the 32nd player drafted
got as a signing bonus.

Without the concussions,

we've projected your
son as a top-ten pick.

So what are you
thinking for damages?

$10 million.

NOLAN:
Doug broke every state
high school passing record

at Furman Prep.

You had 48 major colleges
recruiting your son

until doctors
advised him to quit.

And quitting was
the right decision,

given the risk of
long-term damage.

Three concussions in five weeks

to a young, developing
brain is unconscionable.

And the coaches
didn't do a damned thing.

Well, I didn't tell them about

the last concussion
in practice, Dad.

Doesn't matter.

I mean, uh, excuse me.

Sorry.
DONOVAN:
No.

Please.

One of our promising
first-years, Martina Garretti.

League rules require coaches

to keep a close eye
on their athletes,

'cause either peer
or coaching pressure

makes the boys
feel unmanly

to ask out of a game.

It's on the coaches.

She knows her
Hudson River League rules.

Coaches cared more
about winning

than my son's health.

And unlike your
previous counsel,

we need to prove that the
school and the coaches

failed to act in a
medically appropriate way.

And prove it we will.

Giants or Jets?

Oh, uh... Giants.

Worried about the
Niners this weekend?

Great pass rush.

Yeah, but Eli is good
at play action.

Yeah, it's all about
the left tackle.

You got to protect that
blind side, right?

Actually, beating the blitz
is all about the PSR.

Pre-snap read.

MARTINA:
80% of pass coverage
is given away

by the secondary
before the ball is hiked.

If the weak side backer
cheats inside,

it's a blitz.

You have about a split second
to make your pre-snap read.

My dad and I watched
a lot of football.

You folks want this case,
you got it.

Just make sure

she's on my team.

That can be arranged.

Look at me,
I know that I can make it

It's got to be

And you can't change me

I got to dream

And no one's gonna break me

This is who I want to be

There's so much more to me

Nothing can stop me now.

MARTINA:
Riley,

I feel bad for Doug.

I mean, he loved football.

I feel bad
for him, too,

but he's better off
not playing.

I... I don't know
what to say to that.

Yeah, well, it's her
attempt at empathy.

What I meant was,

now Doug will take
college more seriously.

Real life started for me
when I quit modeling.

Real life started for
me when I was born.

Hmm.

All right, could I see
the image, please?

So, three concussions
in five weeks.

Let's start with Doug's
most recent concussion,

that he suffered in practice,

which ended his dreams
of going pro.

His dad, the next day,
took him to get a DTI.

MARTINA:
Diffusion tensor imaging.

It can detect tears in
the white matter of the brain.

The DTI also revealed

evidence of two other
previous concussions.

His coaches knew about

one of them.

The first... a severe
concussion against Garfield,

that knocked Doug out of
the game on October 5.

Now, this is where
things get interesting.

The DTI also revealed
a light concussion

that he doesn't
remember getting.

Let's call that the mystery
second concussion.

If Furman coaches
knew about that

second concussion
and let him play or practice

soon after, they exposed Doug
to great physical risk.

Yeah, he's lucky that last
concussion didn't kill him.

But come on,
if Doug didn't know

about the concussion,
how would his coaches?

All the more reason
why the coaches

should watch their
players closely.

They know it's easier
to get another concussion

if you've just had one.

MARTINA:
That's why coaches

are supposed to
follow a protocol.

The athlete's supposed to rest
or sit out games,

depending on severity.

So we're going to focus
on the few weeks between

October 5 and November 10,

to see if we can pinpoint
that second concussion.

His coaches could have discussed
injuries in e-mails.

Well, former counsel
already subpoenaed

Furman's athletic
interdepartment e-mails.

They found nothing regarding
any concussions.

RILEY:
Then we widen our request

to include all school
communications in e-discovery.

NOLAN:
Go for it, Riley.

Martina, see if
Head Coach Harvey Long

is willing to testify
in exchange for

getting his named
dropped off the lawsuit.

And can you make sure
that Doug Hartsock

is ready to take the stand?

Okay. Dibs on Riv Brody.

You got it.

(whistle blows)

MARTINA:
My high school
wasn't this nice.

RIV:
You know, I went
to their Web site.

They give these kids laptops
to use for the whole year.

My textbooks all had
six previous owners.

(chuckles)

Did you picture yourself
doing what you do now

when you were their age?
Nah.

I wanted to be a cop,

not an investigator
for a law firm.

What happened?
I became a cop.

Hey, for two bucks,
what's the over-under

for us getting
thrown off campus?

Ten minutes.
I say four.

(shouts, whistle blows)

RIV:
Hey, man.

We're looking for Coach Long.

LONG:
Oliver!

Hurry up with those helmets!

That would be him.

Coach Long!

Martina Garretti.

We're Doug Hartsock's lawyers.

I left a message for you.

You're suing my school,

my coaches and
this program.

I have nothing to say to you.

We'd like to help you
by you helping us.

Oh, here we go.

We're gonna have to ask you
to leave the campus.

Sure, but, uh, can we
leave Coach our card?

Okay.

Thanks for keeping it green.

Mm-hmm. Uh-huh.

I'll catch up with you
back at the office.

RILEY:
Your Honor,

we'd ask the court
to allow us to widen

former counsel's request for
electronic communications

at Furman Prep beyond athletic
interdepartmental e-mails.

How far beyond
the athletic department?

All electronic communications
at Furman

that pertain to our client.

Your Honor, some of those
e-mails may hold

other sensitive teacher-student
information.

Which is not a privileged
relationship, Your Honor.

Do you reasonably expect

chemistry teachers
and guidance counselors

to discuss
Friday night football?

RILEY:
Yes.

And even with coaches.

They could discuss how
Doug behaved in class

and share that conversation
with a colleague in an e-mail.

For instance, did Doug Hartsock
experience headache

or memory loss?

I agree with Ms. Gale
on the privacy issue.

I find your request

vague and overreaching.

Vague?

Your Honor.

Point me to the existence
of a specific e-mail

outside the athletic department
that has bearing

on your client's claim,

and I'll reconsider your motion.

That would be difficult
without getting the e-mails.

Let's make that your problem,
not mine.

What you working on?

Oh.

An essay on
Farewell to Arms.

You know, Hemingway
used to sit in a saddle

at his desk when he wrote.

No joke.

BOY:
Hey, can we get
a little help?

I got it!

Nice.

So... have you
thought any more

about the second concussion
I called you about?

Was there any game between
October 5 and November 10

that was especially tough?

They're all physical,
but the, uh...

the Chasen game was brutal.

Was there a hit
that knocked you out?

Nah. I mean, it takes a lot
to get me out of a game.

Why?
Well, I mean,

if you get knocked down,
you dust yourself off

and get back up, right?

Heard it from coaches,
commencement speeches...

I mean, come on, your folks
never told you that?

It's probably why
I'm sitting here now.

But my ma also used to say,

"Lay down until the
room stops spinning."

Where's your mother
in all of this?

There is no mother
in all of this.

She's, uh... she's gone.

Gone?

Yeah, took off when I was eight.

That... sucks.

So you were raised by a
single father and football.

Doug...

we want to put you
on the stand

so you can tell
people how you feel.

Are you ready to do that?

Yeah, sure.

(indistinct chatter)

Why would a mother
leave her kid?

There are times, believe me...

Martina, olive oil, honey.

Mom leaving son.

That's a blow
to two vital organs:

the brain and the heart.

No, no, no, no!

I could beat you
behind my back

if I wanted to.
How did you do that?

We're five minutes away
on the meat.

How you doing in here?

On time. Bryan!

Get the kids washed up.

You heard your mother.
Wash up.

That means you, too.

One minute.
Now!

DARLENE:
Damn, honey,
don't nag him.

Tell him there's
a delicious dinner

waiting to be served.

(children yelling)

Bryan.

Please.

Okay, okay.

Pause it.

What did I say?
Pause it!

MARTINA: Hey, look
who just woke up.

How's the food going?

MARTINA:
Hey, when am I

going to see a
business plan?

Listen, if you don't

want in, that's cool.

We'll find other
investors.

I didn't say I didn't.

I know--
you said you did.

If, someday, this goes
public, you'll be sorry.

You know,
it's not unreasonable to ask

for information
on an investment.

I put in without
information.

Yeah, Bonnie.

How much?

None of your business.

Well, I think he was
going to ask me for more.

Ow.

Oh, Baby Big Shot's
bringing down

the big bucks,
don't you know?

Look, we discussed
a figure.

You didn't even
know my number.

You just presumed that it
was lower than yours.

Okay, leave your
little sister alone.

She just started
a new job.

Everybody's hassling her
for money. Enough.

Thanks, Ma.

(crowd cheering over speaker)

ANNOUNCER:
Busted play.

Hartsock has nowhere to run.

CYNDI:
Ow.

Down he goes.

Tackle football hurts.

Wainwright made the sack,

and Hartsock is slow getting up.

MARTINA:
Oh, come on.

Put the camera back on him.

We're missing
the most relevant part.

Now Wainwright and Hartsock
are exchanging words.

He looks fine to me.

Uh, bad news.

I tried to get your paycheck,
but you're going

to have to wait till the end
of the month. I'm sorry.

Ah, it's okay.

It's got to come
sometime, right?

That's a two-yard loss.
Third and 12.

Oh, this footage
is giving us nothing.

...wait until they play their
arch rival Bellmoor next week.

Bellmoor.

Yeah?

Teams scout their next opponent.

Maybe Bellmoor had a camera
at the Chasen-Furman game.

You are talking sports, Martina.

I might as well be listening
to a fax line.

NOLAN:
Ladies and gentlemen,

this is footage
from the Furman-Chasen game

provided by Bellmoor High.

They were Furman's
next opponent,

and scouts shot this game

on a single fixed camera
from the same stadium.

And what you're about to see

is the first play
of the third quarter.

Now, the running back
misses the handoff,

exposing Doug--
now, he's number 16--

to this vicious hit.

We believe this to be
the second concussion.

Now, watch.

Doug stands up.

He starts to walk back
to his huddle.

Only one problem:

Doug is walking back
to the wrong huddle.

Now, he runs into Wainwright

and everyone in the stadium
thinks that they're arguing.

But you weren't fighting,
were you?

Not really.
We were barking.

Running smack?

What was Wainwright
saying to you, Doug?

Well, he was sort of saying,

"You're going
the wrong way, jerk."

"Jerk" being the clean version.

What happened when you went
back to the sidelines?

Did Coach call you over?

Yeah. He grabbed me

and asked, "Are you okay
or do you want out?"

So he acknowledged
that you were hurt?

GALE:
Objection.
Counsel's testifying

as to the meaning of the
coach's words. Speculation.

Sustained.

What did you say when he
asked you if you were okay?

I said I was all right

even though I...

felt a little dazed.
But he could have

taken you out
if he thought you were hurt?

Yes.
But he didn't,

and you went back
into the game, didn't you?

Yeah.

It was a big game.

I, uh... I didn't want
to let my coaches

and teammates down, so...

No further questions,
Your Honor.

For a person who said
he had a concussion

in that game, you remember
a lot of details.

Oh, bits and pieces.

Well, good. Then maybe
you can help us

with your recollection
of the events of November 10.

That was the day
you said you sustained

your most recent concussion
at practice, correct?

Yes. I believe so.

You believe so?

Well, I mean, I...

I don't know exactly
what drill...

Before I ask my
next question,

Doug, I feel it's only fair
to remind you

of the importance
of what it means

to tell the truth
under oath.

Now, were you
at football practice

when you sustained

the third concussion?

I need an answer.

Okay.

If you didn't suffer
the concussion

during football practice,
is it possible

that you hit your head
when you

were struck by a car
later that day?

MARTINA:
Objection!

Assuming facts
not in evidence.

JUDGE:
Sustained.

Ms. Gale...
We have a witness

who saw a hit-and-run,
Your Honor.

Well, Your Honor, that person
is not on our witness list.

GALE: Your Honor, we hadn't
planned on calling her

until their client lied
on the stand.

She's a rebuttal witness.

We were not compelled to do so.

When will you be able to produce
this witness, Ms. Gale?

As long as it takes
to bring her upstairs.

And shortly thereafter,
we'll be asking the court

to dismiss the case
with prejudice.

Your Honor, I...
Your Honor,

given the spontaneity

of opposing counsel's
witness list,

we would ask for a continuance.

I think that a reasonable
request, Mr. Adams.

I'll give you 48 hours.

What the hell
happened in there?

Did you really
get hit by a car?

Dad, I told you I never
wanted to do this.

This is an unfortunate
development.

Give me one good reason why we

shouldn't put this case
on an iceberg.

If I could just talk

to Doug and find out
what's going on.

Does it matter?
He perjured himself.

MARTINA: But Doug's
DTI scan didn't lie

about the second
concussion tear.

And the camera
didn't lie

when he walked back
to the wrong huddle.

The school was
negligent.

NOLAN:
She's not wrong.
I mean, he'd

still have a case
without the last concussion.

It's too late.

Our client's credibility
is damaged.

He's on record as having lied
about one concussion.

The defense will argue he could
have gotten the other one

riding his skateboard
or flying a kite.

Oh, yeah, yeah,
five days a week,

220-pound linemen try and
pound Doug's head in.

I would just
love to put your

"he got hurt flying a kite"
in front of a jury.

Let Riv check out
the hit-and-run.

Let me talk to Doug.
DONOVAN:
All right.

You got 24 hours.

But that's it.

And I'm pulling
Nolan and Riley off.

What?
Your time
is better served

on a billable case.

Just you, Martina.

You're the boss.

Can I still have Riv?

Yeah, you got him
for one day.

Great.

Hey, if you have
any questions, I'm around.

Thanks.

MARTINA:
Dad?

Hi, honey.

You got a minute?

Sure.

Is everything all right?

It's not like
you to turn down

your brother
asking for help.

Exactly.

I've helped him out a lot,

and I don't always
get paid back.

Why don't you guys
lend him the money?

We're already in.

I think this is the one.

Let me.

Martina, honey.

You know that if this
was about something else,

you can come to me, right?

I do.

I know that you don't
always get along

with your brother Albert.

And that he was dipped

a little too long
in the Garretti gene pool.

Ma, I'm kind of up
against it here at work.

I have to hang up.
Bye, Ma.

Bye.
GAVIN:
Darlene.

What about the
Garretti gene pool?

Nothing, baby.

RIV:
Wait a minute.
A smaller kid?

Yeah. Well,
I was outside.

I saw this kid chasing
another kid to his car.

The smaller kid got in
his car to drive off,

but he backed up
way too fast

and hit the other guy,
knocking him down.

Now, the driver didn't stop?

No. I ran over and saw
it was Doug Hartsock.

Uh, team comes
in here a lot.
Oh.

I asked Doug
if he was okay

and told him we should
call the police.

He said no, they were
just messing around.
Uh-huh.

Now, did he hit his head?

I couldn't tell from
where I was standing.

Right. Of course.

How did the school's
lawyers find you?

One of their teachers
is a regular.

I told her about
it last week,

and I guess she told
the administration.

Okay.

All right, well,
I'm going to...

Mmm.

I'm going to let you
get back to work.

Thank you.
But I'm definitely

going to come back
for another one of these.

Wow.

Lot of hardware.

I'd prefer them in
my room, but my dad

likes them out here for
the college recruiters.

So much for that.

How'd you do
on the Hemingway essay?

I got an "A."

Excellent.

I was thinking
about what you said

about taking advantage
of more free time,

and I want to get my 3.0
to a 3.4.

I had a better chance
playing football

because they have lower
GPA requirements for athletes,

but that's not an option now.

Well, I like your chances.

So, Doug, we need to talk
about the hit-and-run.

Now is not a good time.

My dad's going to
be home any minute.

Look, why does that matter?
Why can't your dad know?

I don't want to talk about it.

Because you were
chasing someone.

No. I... I mean, yeah.

Or is it 'cause you were chasing
someone smaller than you?

Martina...
You were bullying him.

Please.

Then what?
Look, I want to help you,

but if you don't want my help,
I'll leave now.

No, it can't get out
what happened.

Why? Is it embarrassing?

You worried
about your reputation?

What? No, that's...
Embarrassed that the star
quarterback was bullying...

Stop! No, I wasn't
bullying him, okay?

If anything, he was...

If anything, he was what?

Was he bullying you?

Yeah.

Thanks.

So, anyway, a while
ago, I, uh...

I got this e-mail
from my mom.

Remember, I said
she left me?

Yeah.

Well, she wrote me

and said she wanted
to get back in my life.

At first, I said no.

But then she wrote again

after I got knocked out
of the Garfield game.

She had come to watch me play
and was wondering if I was okay.

Really?
Yeah.

I mean, at first,
it freaked me out.

Then I got kind of jacked up,

you know, knowing
my mom was there.

I'd look for her
in the stands...

Did you tell your dad?

Oh, hell, no.

No, no, uh...
he'd kill me.

I complained a lot
about my dad to her.

But anyway, the e-mails
got friendlier,

and I agreed I'd
meet her that weekend.

I was psyched.

But then Dewey, my center,
he said he heard a conversation

going on in the weight room
between Oliver and a buddy.

Oliver's the equipment manager.

I met him.

Go on.

Oliver... was pretending
to be my mom online.

He assumed the identity
of your mother?

Yeah.

That's terrible, Doug.

Why'd he do it?

One time, I threw Oliver in
the shower with his clothes on.

We all laughed.

It ruined his cell phone.

I felt bad, but I thought
he was cool with it.

I liked him.

Maybe he idolized you,

so... it hurt him more.

Not that the prank
is worthy of the crime.

Yeah.

Anyway, I saw Oliver at the
coffee shop and confronted him.

He got away,
jumped into his car

and tried to take off,
and hit me.

But it was an accident.

And you told your dad you got
the concussion at practice.

Yeah.
But if you told
your dad the truth,

that you were reaching
out to your mom...

Worse.

If it got out that
I'd rather have

my mother who
abandoned us raise me

than my father who
stayed around and did,

that would mess him up bad.

There may be a silver lining

that could help us
with this case, Doug.

But in order
for that to happen,

you're going to have
to tell your dad the truth.

If Oliver Watson used
a school-issued laptop

when he cyber-bullied
Doug Hartsock,

it would help our
concussion case.

DONOVAN:
How?

NOLAN:
Misuse and unauthorized access
to a school computer

puts Furman back
on the hook.

I thought I pulled
you off this case.

You did.
I'm just walking with you.
Finish.

We take advantage of new laws

that prohibit what's called

"electronic communication
harassment" in schools.

All right, amend the complaint
against the school.

Use it as a Trojan Horse

to troll for incriminating
school e-mails

that might reference
the concussions.

I have a nephew
applying to Furman.

I don't think he's
going to get in.

Nolan, you're back on.

Do it.

Excuse me.
Yeah?

I'm, uh... I'm in the
market for a new laptop.

You like that one?

I saw you on campus.
Yeah, right.

How you doing? May I?

Yeah, this, uh... yeah,
that's a little too heavy.

I'm going to look for
something lighter.

Thanks.

JACK:
Have you spent

your whole life hoping
your mother would come back?

No...
So, then,

I've been made
to look like the fool.

I think that
would be me, Dad.

What haven't I given you?

What's missing?

DOUG:
You gave me everything.

I don't... I don't
know how many times

I can tell you that I'm sorry.

(sighs)

We've wasted your time, Martina.

I want to drop the suit.

I need to get some air.

Thank you for coming out.

Stay here.

Mr. Hartsock,
listen to me.

It was the second concussion
where Doug walked back

to the wrong huddle
that's at issue here.

The Chasen game?
Yes.

It was only two weeks after
his first major concussion.

If we can find evidence that
Furman coaches covered it up

and risked Doug's life so he
could play in his next game,

we can win.

It was that
second concussion

that made him way
more vulnerable

to any other blow to
the head after that.

It doesn't matter

if that third
concussion was on

a practice field or
in a parking lot.

Since his mom left,
I put him first.

And... now he pulls this.

Mr. Hartsock, did...

did you ask him how he did
on his Hemingway essay?

I mean...

do you ever talk about

anything besides
football with your son?

I'm sorry.

Are you a parent?

No.

But I have two good ones.

And just 'cause you've
done everything for him

doesn't mean you know him.

And while your son
deserves the money,

you need each other more.

I bet people
underestimate you a lot.

It's one of my strengths.

Okay.

So what's next?

GALE:
Your Honor, we're making
a motion to quash.

Cyber-bullying has nothing to do
with the concussion complaint.

RILEY:
Your Honor, an equipment manager
for Furman's football team

used a school computer
and posed as Doug's mother.

Doug discussed his concussions
with this student.

How many
of Doug's teammates--

fellow students--
may have also discussed

Doug's mental well-being
in class or in practice

or with their coaches?

How many teachers
or administrators?

That argument is so thin
I could blow my nose in it.

Or wipe a tear.

Save your opinion
for when you get appointed

to the Supreme Court, counselor.

I find it weighty enough
to widen your request

to include electronic
communications

between students
at Furman Prep.

Teachers and school officials
may also be privy to...
Really?

You want to push this?

Why, of course not, Your Honor.

It's just too
narrow a ruling.

Sorry.

No, it's fine.

Maybe it'll give us
something later.

Careful with the remorse.
I'll think you care.

Of course I care.

I want to win.

For what it's worth,

I told Doug what you said about
taking school seriously now.

I think he listened.

(whispering):
Psst, hey!

You have a visitor.

Oh, you let her in.

She said it was
an emergency.

Yes, I'm here.

Go ahead. Uh-huh.

Is everything okay, Ma?

I hope so.

Listen, before
you get mad...

When have you ever started
a sentence with that

where I haven't?

Which is why
I need to be heard.

Your father and I are worried.

About what?

We opened your bank statement.

What?
It came to the house.

You should
forward your mail.

I have had it forwarded.

That still gives you
no right to open my mail.

You backed out of your
promise to Albert.

We're your parents.

We care about you.

I never made a promise. I...

I said I was open to the...

Martina, you have $37
in your checking account.

I don't believe this.

What's going on, honey?

I mean, you're a lawyer.
Look at this place.

Where is all your
money going?

Now, look, your
father, he wonders,

with... with Uncle Mario
and his trouble in AC...

I mean, God forbid...
God forbid.

What? You-you think
I've got a gambling problem?

Every scenario has
been discussed.

Ma...

Ma, I'm suffering
a perfect storm, all right?

I'm out first
and last month's rent.

My educational loans kicked in.

I had to upgrade my wardrobe

from public servant
to corporate attorney.

Toss in food and sundries,
and you know what?

I'm lucky to have $37 right now.

I will be fine
when I get my check.

Which is ridiculously late.

Well, why didn't
you come to us?

Because I'm a big girl.

You and Dad don't
have to worry about me.

A parent never stops
worrying about their child.

No matter how old they are.

I'm fine.

Worry about your 24-year-old
son that still lives at home.

Quit babying him.

Tough love is still love.

Albert is different.

All my children are different.

You were always
running ahead of me.

First one into the ocean.

(laughs)

Come here.

What kind of law firm
can't make payroll, huh?

(laughs)

Okay, Ma.
Ma, I'm at work.

Okay, okay.

Cyndi... so nice
to meet you.

So nice to meet you, too.

I hope that I look
as hot as you

when I'm a grandmother.

Love this girl.

Yeah, she's a keeper.

(laughs)

DARLENE:
Who's that?

MARTINA:
Stop.
DARLENE:
What?

Pasting his face onto
the family Christmas card.

Hello.

Darlene Garretti.

Uh, this is my mother.
Oh.

Nolan Adams.

Your daughter is a welcome
addition to this firm.

Well, she has had wonderful
things to say about you.

MARTINA:
I don't think I've ever

mentioned your
name, actually.

Well.

Can I talk to you?

Oh. Yeah.

I'm going to leave so you two
can practice some law.

Bye, sweetie.

Oh, no, she's... she's sweet.

Isn't she, though?

Uh, what's up?
Yeah.

One of Doug's coaches,
Greg Stiles,

sent an e-mail
from his home computer

to a tutor on her
school-issued laptop.

Wow. That was fast.

You put his name into a computer
and you hit "search."

We're in the
Information Age, Martina.

Ah.

This coach e-mailed Doug's tutor

about Doug's headaches
and retention of facts.

And one of the e-mails was sent
after the Chasen-Furman game,

when Doug walked back
to the wrong huddle.

Doug's former lawyers
talked to all the coaches.

They refused to testify.

Yeah, well,
they missed this one.

Because Greg Stiles
left Furman Prep.

But the question is: Why?

Maybe he cared more about his
player's health than winning.

Maybe you better go find out.

Never understood why people run
in circles or on treadmills.

Me, I like to
take in the scenery,

feel the neighborhood.

Please tell me you're
a teacher here.
(laughs)

I'm a lawyer.

I represent Doug Hartsock.

You passed on being
the next head coach

at one of the best prep football
programs in the Northeast

to become a line coach
at a Class "C" school.

Can I ask why?

I wanted to teach history.

They let me do that here.

Coach, you took an interest
in Doug's health.

You e-mailed his tutor
to see how he was doing.

You wanted to know if he
was having trouble remembering

his schoolwork after
the Chasen game.

I know where you're
going with this.

You want me to testify
against my former colleagues.

No. I want the truth.

Did you tell Coach Long

that Doug should sit out the
big game against Bellmoor

because you thought he suffered
a concussion in the Chasen game?

I know all about the
coaching fraternity

and your culture of secrecy.

What's said in the locker room
stays in the locker room,

but that has to change.

It would've helped things
if Doug would've said something.

No.

He's still a kid.

He literally can't get
his brain around it yet.

They care more about their
teammates and their girlfriends

than they do dementia
at middle age.

That's why the
adults are in charge.

I'm not saying anything
that'll ruin coaches careers.

Yeah, well, at least you
guys have football careers.

Doug Hartsock's ended
before it started.

Wait.

I can't come forward.

I'm sorry, I can't be the one,

but someone else overheard
my argument with Coach

long after practice,

and I'll corroborate
what they said.

You mean, like players?

The players were gone.

But none of the
coaches will testify.

Who said it was a coach?

Hey, Oliver, hi.

Equipment managers
work long hours.

How do you find
time to study?

I'm not supposed
to talk to you.

Syracuse, right?

That's your first
choice for college?

What you did to Doug will be
on your college transcripts.

It could hurt your
chances of getting in.

But I can help
you change that.

Did you overhear an
argument between Coach Long

and Coach Stiles in the
locker room after practice?

My job is hard enough as it is.

I know. It must be tough

to be part of a team,
but not on the team.

For every ounce of thank you,

you get seven tons of abuse.

You deserve better, Oliver,

but so did Doug.

So,

want to fix this?

Your Honor, at this time,

we would like to call
Oliver Watson to the stand.

And besides

being a student at Furman,
what else do you do there?

I'm the equipment manager
for the football team.

And as the team's
equipment manager,

do you overhear a lot of talk
among the players and coaches?

Some things not suitable
for this courtroom, I imagine?

Yes.
Okay.

So let's keep it PG.

Oliver, in the early evening
of October 22,

did you hear an argument
in the Furman locker room?

Yes.
Who was arguing?

Coach Long and Coach Stiles.

MARTINA:
The head football coach

at Furman and his
assistant coach, correct?

Correct.
What were they arguing over?

Doug Hartsock.

GALE:
Objection. Calls for hearsay.

Would you describe the
argument as heated?

Were they shouting
at each other?
Yes.

Excited utterance exception to
the hearsay rule, Your Honor.

The hearsay objection
is overruled.

Continue, Ms. Garretti.

Oliver,

what were Coach Stiles and
Coach Long fighting over?

Coach Stiles thought Doug
was still suffering

from a hit in the Chasen game,

and that he should sit out
Bellmoor and get some tests.

Your Honor, coaches talk
about injuries all the time.

Can the defense
withhold questions

until cross, Your Honor?

JUDGE:
Overruled.

Ms. Gale, you'll have your turn.

Coach Long said tests
weren't necessary,

and then Coach Stiles said

he wanted no part of this
and walked out.

Is that all you remember
of the argument?

Yes.

That's okay.

We'll ask Coach Stiles

what he remembers later.

Oh, Oliver, um,

did Doug play in the next game?

Everyone knows
Doug Hartsock played

in every game that season.

Your Honor, at this time,

we would ask to confer
with opposing counsel.

JUDGE:
I think that's a good idea,

Ms. Gale.

We're in recess.

You just got some karma back.

Not bad, rookie.

Thanks.

I'm on my way, on my way

I'm on my way

Home

Life's an open road

It doesn't matter
where you go

Just don't travel it alone

On the other side

There's a part
of who you are

That you never realized...

Gentlemen,

I've got news, but I'd like
Martina to share it with you.

You don't mind if I'm
here for this, do you?

You're part of this team.
Of course not.

Oh, right.

I think we've been offered
a very fair settlement.

It won't buy back your dream,

but it will buy you
a good education,

and if, God forbid, you face

any unforeseen health issues
later in life,

you got a safety net.

Should we open it now?

At some point.
We need

to give them an answer
as to whether you accept or not.

NOLAN:
Coach Long is stepping down,
and the high school

is implementing
a concussion policy

that's stricter
than the league requires.

And Oliver's
cyber-bullying

will be left
off his college application

in exchange for his testimony.

I'm okay with that.

Thank you.

No need.
We get some of that, too.

Don't worry, she could
care less about the money.

(chuckles)

NOLAN:
Congratulations.

(whispers):
Nice work.

You said money can't
buy back football for us,

but it also can't buy

what Doug and I have now.

Thank you.

My pleasure.

You have the heart
of a lion, Martina.

You would've been
a great quarterback.

I'll take the brains

of an offensive tackle.

Anyone who knows football
knows linemen

are the smartest players
on the field.

No offense.

Oh!

I'm sorry.
Oh, no.

I didn't mean
to startle you.

It's okay.

Fine job on the
Hartsock settlement, Martina.

Thank you. I...

I didn't do it alone, though.

You know, it's been brought
to my attention that you

have yet to be paid for
your services here.

Cyndi Vega
is a fiercely loyal assistant,

but, you know, she shouldn't
have come to you with that.

I'm sorry.
She didn't.

Your mother did.

My mother?
Yes.

She was here the other
day, introduced herself.

She's a lovely woman.

Of course she did.

Your mother has a very
specific life force

that I can't quite
describe in one word.

Pushy?
Anyway,

she said you hadn't been
paid, which I found

particularly embarrassing.

You don't know
embarrassing, sir,

until your mother
shames your boss.
No, no.

If there's an accounting
issue or a payroll problem,

I need to know.

Anyway, I got to the
bottom of it and, uh,

well, we'll miss
Charlene Swatello

and her 17 years
of service here,

but she has a
very nice pension.

Oh, no, I don't want...

I'm joking, Martina.

I do that now and then.

(chuckles)

May I present to you
your first paycheck

from Stark & Rowan?

Personally signed by me.

On behalf of the
senior partners,

thank you.

No. Thank you.

For the shot.

Oh, by the way, keep me
abreast on the development

of your brother's
business venture.

Sounds promising.

Uh, sure.

So this is what you meant

When you said
that you were spent

And now it's time to build

From the bottom of the pit

Right to the top

Don't hold back...
