Oh! Hold the door!
Hold the door! Hold--

Morning.

Morning.

- Wanna grab a Martini?
- You wanna shut up?

Little hung over?

I don't even remember
how I got home last night,

- really, it's--
- Me either.

Hey, did you hear about
the golden gate bungee jumper?

- He's my client.
- Oh, wow.

That's your favorite kind of case.

A slip and fall.

[Both feign laughter]

Oh, shazam.
Now I remember.

You saw Justin
on a date last night,

drank too much,
I drove you home,

and then you asked me in
for meaningless revenge sex

because you think
I'm an empty person.

Did we?

No.

- Because...
- No, no.

I said no to you,
and then went home.

That's right.
Now I remember.

[Alarm sounds]

Okay, you listen up.

Last night was kind of
a low point.

...for me.

So it didn't happen.

Not the drinks, not the ride,
not the Justin,

not the nothing
that happened after that.

Last night does not exist.

You got it?

Only because
I'm seeing him in an hour

to negotiate a plea deal
on the jumper...

[Alarm stops]

Does Justin exist?

[Elevator dings]

- What're you doing here?
- I work here.

No, Kate, you're supposed to
be at Burgess hall right now.

Yeah, I noticed that
on your calendar.

Isn't that your Alma mater?

Why are you
noticing my calendar?

Mm. Well, they were wonderful
at raising money.

Plus...

A student got caught cheating
and is gonna get expelled,

so, the father is threatening
to make a big stink about it,

and they hired moi

to handle the situation.

Oh, great.
They reached out to you.

Yeah.

The headmistress Olivia McKey
and I were--we were classmates.

Oh. That's young
for a headmistress.

She had a lot of chutzpah.

Plus they fired
the school's lawyer.

What time am I
supposed to be there?

20 minutes.

Aye!

Uh, Leo,
can you grab my things?

- Kate, you know...
- Ha...

Um, their alumni association

reads like the who's-who
of San Francisco.

I mean, we could do worse
than to win them as a client.

I'd like to come with you.

Oh, come on, Lauren.

What, you don't trust me
to get their business on my own?

Not really.

Wow, you look
like a frickin' bull.

Are those shoulder pads,
or are you on the 'roids?

Wazniak is being charged with
felony reckless endangerment.

Aristotle called it
"spectacle."

My client is
performance artist.

There's nothing artistic
about bungee jumping

off the golden gate bridge.
Ah-ah-ah.

Coulda hurt somebody.

- Not least of all himself.
- So, you're risk-averse.

Guess that could be

an attractive quality
at first blush,

but I can see
where someone might get bored.

Don't do that.

Who might get bored?

The voters.

If I were
running for D.A.,

I wouldn't want
to try a folk hero.

Wazniak broke the law.
12 weeks in county.

Jail?

When did Pinochet
move to Market Street?

200 hours community service.
Time served.

Forget it.
Let's go to trial.

A guy who's been
in a parrot suit on TV

should not do time in county.

150 hours community service,

plus a benefit performance
for the city.

Eight weeks county,
$2,000 fine.

I know judge Heaney.

He's a crab-ass
who loves jail time.

Take it or leave it.

You're very rigid.
Interesting.

Do we have a deal or not?

Sometimes the bull wins.

[Bell rings]

[Students chattering]

[Chuckles]

What a beautiful school.

Oh, yeah, you woulda
loved it here.

They would've put you on the
cover of the alumni magazine

holding an oar
and a squash racket.

Not you, huh?

When daddy came into
a lot of money,

public school all of a sudden
just wasn't good enough,

so I transferred in 10th grade.

Well, he obviously
wanted the best for you.

Well, I obviously didn't have

anything in common
with anyone here.

Kate?

Oh, Olivia.

- So wonderful to see you.
- Wow.

I had no idea where to turn
at such short notice,

but your reputation
as a mediator

is really getting around
in this city.

Uh-huh. I had, uh,
no idea you were headmistress.

I know.
Can you believe it?

Olivia, this is my partner,

- Lauren Reed.
- Hi.

She married my dad.

Of course. Mrs. Reed.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

- Both of you.
- Thank you.

Olivia, how can we help you?

I'm aware of the basic facts
of the situation,

a junior's protesting
her expulsion for cheating?

Is that right?

Yes. I wouldn't
normally call for help,

but the father is irate.

Do you want me to mediate
some kind of settlement?

I certainly want them
to feel heard,

but the facts
of the situation are clear.

Mm.

I need him to understand that.

So, then, we're really
here to scare him off.

[Chuckles]

[Laughs]

- The Davis family is waiting.
- 'Kay.

- Shall we?
- Mm.

You can't kick out my daughter.

I'm a single father.
I work two jobs.

Even with the financial aid,
I struggle to pay the bill here.

But I do it so she will have
the opportunities I never had.

While that's impressive,
it's not relevant, Mr. Davis.

You expel her,
you take all that away.

But your daughter broke a rule,

and she knew the consequences.

The school maintains

a strict zero-tolerance policy
towards cheating.

Eliza?

Can you tell us what happened?

Eliza's AP English teacher,
Mr. Wade,

caught her using notes
during a semester exam.

I asked her.

I didn't cheat.
Mr. Wade made a mistake.

Well, the facts
have already been vetted

by our disciplinary committee.

Let's say my daughter is lying.

- Let's say she did cheat.
- What?

You be quiet.

We all know if I were one of
the big wheels in this school,

there's no way Eliza would be
getting expelled over this.

Mr. Davis,
that is completely untrue.

Wait, no one believes?

Including you, dad?

Mr. Davis...

Are you saying
that your daughter did cheat?

The school cheats.

There's two sets of rules here.

One for the rich kids,
and one for everybody else.

I'm not gonna let you
make an example out of her

because you think
we can't fight back.

Let her back in, or I am gonna
drag all of it into court.

I'm going.

Oh, no, no.
Please don't leave, sir.

Mr. Davis, we understand
that you're frustrated.

But making unfounded allegations
isn't gonna help anyone here.

- Oh, you think I'm bluffing?
- No, no.

I-I-I promise,
if you can give us some time,

we'll come up with a compromise
that works for everyone.

They're already making her
clean out her locker.

I don't want Eliza
missing any more classes.

Just give us a day.

One day.

Let's go.

What're you doing?

You said you wanted us
to put out the fire,

but it is not that simple.

I mean, that man
has put everything

into his daughter's education,

and you're trying
to take that away.

He's desperate, but it doesn't
change what happened.

Eliza said she didn't cheat.

But she did cheat.
We're past that.

Okay, but he was correct.

If he were
one of your big donors,

she wouldn't
be getting expelled.

Kate, that is ridiculous.

Oh, seriously, Liv?

Are you really gonna sit there,

and pretend like it's not true?

Have you bought into
this place that much?

You--

Dumb question.

[Sighs]

Funny thing.

Liv and I were actually BFFs
my first year here.

It was us against the bastards,
and then...

She joined the bastards.

Well, if you had a history
with this woman, I can--

No. No, no.

I don't.
This is about Eliza Davis.

This girl is gonna get screwed.
That's how this school operates.

[Scoffs]

Well, if you knew
what you were getting into,

why did you take the job?

Because...

I'm the girl in the movie
that can't walk past

the haunted house
without actually going in.

I need a partner.

Kate, I need you to not
make this personal,

and just do your job.

- I mean, for one day.
- Or what?

Are you gonna fire me again?

Well, is that my only option?

Kate...

I think giving Mr. Davis
a day to cool off

is exactly
the right thing to do.

I may have underestimated
just how upset he was.

- You still are.
- Kate--

No, no, no. No, you want me
to do my job, then let me do it.

Liv, you know this is true.

Rich kid gets in trouble,
parents donate money,

trouble disappears.

Each instance
of disciplinary action

is judged
by the independent committee.

Oh, come on. Oh...

We're very careful.

Olivia,
if this were to go to trial,

you--you would
have to vouch

for every single
case of expulsion.

And if there's any pattern

of favoritism
for the wealthier students,

the school could be
very, very exposed.

Liv, come on,
just let her stay.

Give her detention.
Take away her, uh...

Baked Alaska privileges
for a month.

I can't reverse

the disciplinary
committee's decision.

- How would that look?
- Right.

God, I forgot.
It's all about appearances.

Do you want me to pretend
that doesn't matter?

Fundraising is half our budget.

If you had to live
under that kind of microscope--

Well, then pay him to shut up.

The board
will never approve that.

[Sighs] Okay.

Plan B.
[Clears throat]

What if she's
telling the truth?

- The facts stated--
- The facts?

The facts are what?

The facts are
he said she cheated,

and she said she didn't.

Mr. Wade has
an impeccable reputation.

Good for Mr. Wade,

but unless you plan on
readmitting Eliza to the school,

Liv, you are facing
a mother of a lawsuit.

So, why not just
entertain the possibility

that this girl
is telling the truth?

And if she is,
this lawsuit disappears.

- Oh, uh, Mr. Wade?
- Yeah.

- Hi.
- You are?

I'm--I'm Kate Reed.

I've been hired to resolve
the Eliza Davis case.

What case?

Uh, her father is threatening
to sue the school.

[Chuckles] Perfect.

What better way to prepare for
your future after Burgess hall

than to hire a lawyer when
you've been caught red-handed?

Well, I mean, I don't--
I don't represent her.

I work for the school.

But I also know what it's like
to be a student here

when your parents
can't donate a wing.

[Chuckles] Oh, I get it.

So, you see yourself
in this girl,

and want redemption.

Oh, you're right outta dickens.

Uh, you know what?

I'm more of
a dick wolf girl myself.

You know, law & order.

But, um, let me just
ask you a question, please.

Did she really cheat?

I realize that
it would be convenient

for the school
if I changed my story.

But this is their policy.

And if they can't stand by it,
that's their problem.

For a cute, preppy teacher,
you're an ass.

Eliza's a bright kid.
She was miserable here.

Getting kicked out might be

the best thing
that ever happened to her.

Prepare to be blown away.

- What's the rub?
- Nothing.

Hey, so.

Eked out a plea bail today
with A.D.A. Patrick on Wazniak.

Oh, love the flying birdman.
Power to the parrot.

Yeah. That Justin guy
puts me to sleep.

Where is the passion?

What did Kate see in him?

What?

You think I'm gonna
talk to you about my boss

because you bought me tacos?

They're good tacos.

Maybe it's the whole
opposites attract thing.

You know, Kate can go
all crazy-town,

and Justin's there
to support her.

So, he's Kate's bungee cord.

- Yeah, but that's not all.
- What else?

You got a lot of questions.

- I'm curious about the world.
- Well, then as the world,

I'm starting to feel
used and violated.

I will buy you a sundae.

Well, now I feel
like a "desserts-titute."

[Students chattering]

- Hey.
- Hey.

Eliza, sit down.

Okay, um...

Your dad's gonna fight
really, really hard

to get you back in here.

And you know I would too.

If I knew that that's
what you wanted.

Why wouldn't I want that?

Burgess can be tough.

It sucks to be alone

and on the outside.

You know, I used to dream
about pulling the fire alarm

so I could get kicked out.

[Scoffs]

You think I cheated
and got caught

so I could get kicked out?

Did you?

[Chuckles] That's perfect.

I gotta go.

No, no, no. Hold on. Hold on.
Then help me out, okay?

Because right now it's just
your word against the school's.

So you've gotta just stand up
for yourself right now.

If you don't, then the school's
gonna run right over you.

It doesn't matter.

Yes, it does matter.

If you didn't cheat, why would
Mr. Wade say that you did?

Eliza?

I shoulda just
done what he wanted.

Did he hit on you?

Did he hurt you?

No.

We never actually...

Did...

Actually did what?

I wasn't some innocent victim.

We spent a lot of time together,
and I knew what was happening.

I don't blame him
for thinking that we would.

Okay, but Eliza,

he is a teacher.

Tell me what happened.

"I dream about
the curve of your lips,

"and how sweet
they would taste on mine

in love and madness,
Jonathan."

- He sent her dozens of these.
- I don't believe this.

She thought he was her friend.

He told her that she was smart,
she was different, beautiful.

He told her exactly
what she wanted to hear.

I am just baffled he would be
so stupid as to send her texts.

He joins a distinguished club.

Weiner, spitzer, woods...

All right, the school
needs to investigate.

These are still unproven
allegations against Mr. Wade.

Unproven?

Why didn't she
come forward before now?

Oh, jeez, I don't know.

Maybe 'cause she's 17.
She's a loner.

Wade had her convinced
that she would be humiliated.

Oh, and by the way,
have you met her father?

Ugh, he's gonna go ballistic.

All right. Okay.

We need to get
both of them back in today.

And what is most important is
that Burgess hall seem outraged

and completely on their side
until we know more.

"Seem outraged"?

How 'bout they "be outraged"?

Whoa.
Judge Victoria Connors.

Sure doesn't look like
a crab-ass hanging judge to me.

She must be
filling in for Heaney.

You worked with her before?

No, not yet. She just
transferred from Sonoma.

Gentlemen,

didn't your mothers teach you
that it's impolite to whisper?

Yes, Your Honor. You're right.
Uh, I apologize.

Mr. Grogan and I
were just going over

the final details
of our plea agreement.

Oh.
San Francisco v. Wazniak.

I enjoyed his spectacular jump
off the bridge yesterday.

- How far was that fall?
- 400 feet.

He just skimmed the pavement.

It's exhilarating.
What's the plea?

A misdemeanor.
Eight weeks in county.

- Eight weeks?
- Mm-hmm.

- For a performance artist?
- That's what I said.

But some people
have no appreciation

of artistic expression.

It's called
the first amendment.

Yes, which courts interpreted

as being subject
to reasonable time, place,

and manner restrictions.

Bungee jumping
off the golden gate bridge

is not reasonable.

But my client's art is about

being unpredictable
and unrestricted.

If you take that away from him,

you've taken away
his constitutional rights.

Can we just enter the plea

that we agreed to
and move on with this?

No, no, this is good.
You see, this...

This is why the constitution is
a living, a breathing, document.

Absolutely.

Wazniak broke the law,
but in doing so,

he inspired our city
with his artistic boldness.

As I told A.D.A. Patrick,
jail time's way too punitive.

- But you agreed to a plea.
- Well...

Okay.
[Clears throat]

Do you have
an agreement or not?

- Yes.
- No.

Oh, gentlemen.

Let's relish this debate.

Before I accept any plea,

I would like you both to read
New York City v. Petit.

And we'll pick this up
at lunch tomorrow, my chambers.

That'll be all.

Next case.

Hey.

Hey, what're you doing?
We had a deal.

She didn't like it
any more than I did.

You know what I can't stand?
People who waste my time.

Aw, maybe somebody's
a little bit upset

about getting beat in there.

No, actually,
I just don't like you.

Your own partners
don't even like you.

One does.

Lauren tolerates you.

You always so sure
of everything you're so sure of?

I'm sure you can't be trusted.

Cup for your tears.

See you tomorrow.

Better bring
your a-game, Grogan.

I am terribly sorry.

Eliza...

Your teacher
sexually harassed you,

and you have never
told anybody?

He was my friend.
He was my only friend.

I didn't tell you 'cause
I was scared you'd freak out.

And she is telling you now,
Mr. Davis.

We share your outrage.

And if your daughter's story
proves true,

I assure you, Burgess hall

will take prompt
and forceful action.

Mr. Wade will be
suspended immediately.

And pending an inquiry,
Eliza can come back to school.

Pending an inquiry?

"If" her story is true?
Are you kidding me?

Why don't I call the police?

Daddy, please.

I never did anything
with Jonathan.

Jonathan?

Can you just let me back in
and pretend this never happened?

No. No, if Wade
did do this to you,

there's no way he can stay.

I want Wade fired today.

And she gets back in
on a free ride.

Or I start talking to everybody
who will listen to me.

All right,
the father's bluffing.

I mean, there's no way he's
gonna embarrass Eliza with this.

- She won't let him.
- I wish we knew that.

But Burgess hall
cannot afford the risk.

The damage would be staggering.

Okay, we need to get
Wade's side of the story,

and preferably
before he gets a lawyer.

I would take
the deal on the table.

You're getting off easy.

What would you advise?

If I were Mr. Davis,

I would send my daughter as far
away from this place as I could.

And I would sue you
for your entire endowment.

You have your own
issues here, Kate.

We need to be cautious.

I am being cautious.

The risky choice
would be not to act.

If you fire Wade, and these
allegations prove false,

you're looking at a huge
wrongful termination suit.

If these texts come out,
and you're only suspending him,

it'll look like
you're protecting him.

Agree to the Davis' terms.

I will get them to sign
a confidentiality agreement.

- That's not what we advise.
- Yes, it is.

Over by tonight.

Appearances, right?

I'll speak with the board.

- We'll fire Wade in the morning.
- Good.

And Eliza is back in.

What're you doing?

Working on my a-game.

Justin says you don't like me.

That's pretty ironic.

- Don't you think?
- Why is that ironic?

Well, I think irony's
something that makes

the gods laugh, you know, like,

"tornado destroys
wind chime store."

Gonna bludgeon me?

Probably.

So, uh, what did
you and Justin talk about?

Well, I know it's
hard for you to imagine

that we didn't spend
all afternoon

talking about you,
but we didn't.

Mm.

It was about protecting
the first amendment,

- and winning.
- Winning?

Mostly winning.

Uh, Jonathan Wade
is here with his lawyer.

I'll get Lauren.

I mostly hate you.

I'm curious.

How would you like to find out

you've been fired
for being a sexual predator

by reading about it online?

What are you talking about?

Supposed texts
I sent to Eliza Davis.

They were posted on the parents'
association website

along with the notice
that I'm being fired.

They're online.

Who knows how far they've gone?

Hold on a second.
They're "supposed" now?

Mr. Wade,

the best defense
is a strong offense.

No, no, actually,
the best defense is the truth.

Mr. Wade's phone records.

There were no texts,
ever, to miss Davis.

No, I saw them
on her phone myself.

I mean, we all did.

We are officially
serving the school.

Mr. Wade
is suing Burgess Hall

for wrongful termination
and defamation of character.

Uh

Okay, okay, the Davises

obviously leaked
these texts last night.

God, they must've thought
that the school

was gonna try and bury
this whole thing.

Yeah, why ever
would they think that?

How is this possible?

How could she receive texts
from him that he didn't send?

Oh, there's a bunch
of SMS spoof apps for that.

English, please?

You can download
an app on your phone

that changes what someone sees
on their caller I.D. display.

So, someone sent Eliza texts
using Professor Wade's number.

- Exactly.
- Ah...

How come you didn't
tell us this before?

You weren't
questioning the story before.

Oh, I think I know
who sent her those texts.

Me too.

Look, Eliza,
I know about the text messages.

I know you sent them
to yourself.

You had to have known
that you were gonna get caught.

I just wanted them
to let me back in.

They're so afraid
of drama and scandal.

I didn't think
they'd actually fire him.

Guess I'm not as smart
as you thought I was.

You ruined a teacher's career.

He ruined mine.

Eliza, you cheated.

Everybody cheats.
I got caught.

Look, you lied to my face
when I was trying to help you.

And guess what.
I'm still trying to help you.

Then I guess you're not
as smart as I thought you were.

So, New York City v. Petit.

In 1974, high wire artist
Philippe Petit

walked between the twin towers

a quarter-mile above
the sidewalks of Manhattan.

The towers gone,
his act crystallized

in that iconic image,

is a symbol of freedom.

It was called "the artistic
crime of the century."

And public appreciation
was so high

that all formal charges
were dropped.

Mm-hmm.
In lieu of prosecution,

he was ordered to give
a free performance to children

in central park.

Fire and police departments
were called to rein him in.

Petit was an economic burden
to the taxpayers.

Look, I'd like to propose
a new deal, okay?

Six weeks county,

80 hours of community service.

No weeks, $2,000 fine,

and a benefit performance
for the city parks.

[Sighs]

[Clicks tongue]
No. No.

We're gonna have to be
more creative.

But I would like
to wrap this up quickly.

- Agreed.
- Yeah.

My morning
tomorrow is, uh--is just packed.

But I have to be
at my house this afternoon

for a furniture delivery,

so why don't you just
come to my house, say, 5:00?

See you then.

Is this even ethical?

Oh, like you care about ethics.

I don't have time
to go to her house.

Next time you'll
keep your mouth shut

and stick to the plea.

So, it was all lies.

II was just hoping
for a new client.

Now, we will be lucky
if Burgess hall

doesn't sue us for malpractice.

Lauren, come on,
that girl played us.

No, she played you, Kate.

Oh, right.

Because you knew that
she was lying the whole time.

I knew to wait
and vet her story.

But we didn't have the time.

Lauren, I--

I went with my gut.

You had an axe to grind
with that school, Kate.

A childish grudge,

and now we are gonna have to
throw the moon at Jonathan Wade

to fix your mistake.

Lauren, do you want to know
why I fight the system,

why I think it's unfair?

That school taught me that.

Life isn't fair?

I'm sorry, really?

Kate, when are you
gonna grow up?

[Sighs]

Cute house.

Heard she lost a big divorce
settlement to her ex.

Apparently he's
a personal trainer.

Well, at least she got
a killer body out of it.

Hey, boys.

Come in.

I hope you don't mind
if we eat while we talk.

Oh, we can't really
stay for dinner.

Smells delicious.

I didn't know
if you were meat eaters,

so I'm just making
a simple black COD

with some sweet and sour
rhubarb orange sauce,

braised beets, and chocolate
ganache for dessert.

Sounds good.

Thank you.

[Slurps]

[Knocks] Hi.

Hi.

Look what I found.

Best friends.

Yeah.

Look, um,
I'm here to apologize.

Kate Reed apologizes?

I knew Eliza was angry,

but I didn't think
she was capable of this.

If you're trying
to protect your firm,

there's no need.

I doubt the board will pursue
a claim against Reed & Reed.

No, no, that doesn't matter.
I made a mistake.

I steered you wrong.

Yeah, you did.

They intend to fire me.

Oh, my--Olivia...

I--

I'm so sorry.

Are you?

Because I got the feeling
part of you is enjoying this.

I'm not.

What did I do to you?

When I met you,
you were this...

Heavy metal chick,
and you carried around these

big brass knuckles, and we were
both these middle-class kids

just trying to survive
in this place,

and then you went off,

and you made your new friends,

and you were just
pretending to be this--

Pretending to be what?

I never pretended
to be anything.

I changed.

And you know what,
I changed again.

When I had kids,
and again when I got married.

What about you, Kate?

Have you changed at all?

Or are you still
the same Katie Reed

looking for a fight?

- Well, you have your revenge.
- Oh...

You know what? I never intended
for this to happen.

I'd like to do what I can

to contain
what's left of this mess.

The school wants to settle

with Jonathan Wade
as soon as possible.

Fine.

We'll make an offer.

And you know what, Kate?

I made new friends,

but I invited you
to come along; I begged.

But you didn't come,
because the truth about you

was you liked
being on the outside.

You chose it.

I guess you still do.

Good night, Kate.

In 2006, Jeb Corliss
attempted to base jump

off the empire state building.

But his freedom of artistic
expression was denied

when security got wind of it,
and handcuffed him to the rail.

The grand jury indicted him
for reckless endangerment

in the first degree.

Which was dismissed in court.

Yes, but the court did hold
that his conduct was dangerous--

When Wazniak jumped,

no one got hurt,
no rescue was needed,

no cost was incurred,

and there was
no impact on the state.

But the law was broken.

And if I may
state the obvious here,

jumping off Bridges
is not something

that we want to encourage.

Yeah,
that's an excellent point.

Thank you.

Neither is being boring.

- [Laughs]
- No, you know what?

You're right. Laugh it up.
I'm the boring guy, right?

Because I always
side with the law.

But let me tell you something.

The law does not
encumber artistic expression,

it allows it.

You can't paint, you can't
write, you can't compose,

you cannot jump off a bridge
in a bird costume

without freedom, and freedom

cannot exist
without the code of law.

And that is a code
that I will fight to defend

until my dying breath.

Because where people
fail to respect it,

civilization disappears.

That was...

Very, very well said,
Mr. Patrick.

You just earned
my vote for D.A.

Mr. Grogan?

I remain undecided.
[Clears throat]

Mm.

Well, that round definitely
goes to Mr. Patrick.

But, um, you know, neither
of you have knocked me out yet.

I'm just curious,
how many rounds

do you see this thing going?

Oh...

I think we're very close.

But I would like you both

to review the United States
v. Gravity Sports

for tomorrow.

Shall we say lunch?

What does she want from us?

It's never gonna end.

I'm ready to try
something else.

Like going to trial?

No, I was thinking
rock climbing, maybe.

I thought you almost
sealed the deal in there.

Well played, counselor.

I meant what I said.

I have never met anyone

who so fully believes
in being by the book.

It's--it's mostly douchey,
but it's kind of inspiring.

Well, thank you very much.

- Oh, no.
- What?

I left my keys in there.

Oh.

- I can't.
- I wouldn't.

I have a spare set
at the office.

I'll call us both a cab.

- Yes.
- Good.

[Snoring]

[Music playing on headphones]

♪

[Laughs]

Oh.

No pink Floyd
before coffee, ever.

You're sleeping
in Ben's office.

- Why?
- Ugh...

It's a $10,000 couch.

- Oh, I slept on it.
- Yeah, I got that.

No, no. On Eliza.

Say what?

Okay, she...

Cheated, and she got caught.

And then she sent
those fake texts.

And she got caught again.

- She's an angry 17 year old.
- Ugh, yeah.

I know, I feel like
I know this girl.

Yeah, we've maybe
all sensed that.

It's just that she's--
she's too smart for this.

Can you show me that, uh,

spoof app thingy
on your phone again?

Sure can.

Oh, also, Olivia, Jonathan Wade,
and his lawyer

are on their way
for the settlement conference,

- and Lauren is already here.
- Oh!

[Muffled] Oh!

You're a woman, right?

Why would a judge
drag out a plea bargain

over several meals
and bottles of wine?

She keeps making us
come back to her

with more arguments
and precedents.

It's a simple, little case.

Well, how old?

What's between MILF and cougar?

One lucky guy.
[Snickers]

[Clears throat]

It sounds like she finds
the debate stimulating.

What, like some
kind of weird foreplay?

Oh, no, no, no, no.

It's not foreplay.
It is the sex.

[Clears throat]

I'll bet she finds

both you and Justin
attractive intellectually.

Like, uh, you know,
intellectual male escorts.

That's twisted.

'Scuse me.

Hi.

Olivia. Welcome.

Right this way.

Yeah, I'll meet you
in the conference room.

[Clears throat]

We, uh, have decided that I'll
be running this negotiation.

And when did "we" decide that?

Kate,
just keep your mouth shut.

[Sighs]

Mr. Wade,

first and foremost,

I'd like to apologize
on behalf of Burgess hall.

We know how difficult
this has been for you,

and we do appreciate you
meeting with us promptly.

Spare me.

My reputation is ruined.

This school...

Which--which spends
so much time ensuring

that I don't do,
that I don't say,

that I don't teach the wrong
thing lest I offend someone.

That this school
then rushes to judgment on me.

I am beyond furious.

1.5 million is the offer,

and we believe
that's a very generous aunt.

I'll make this easy.

2.5 million,
or we'll see you in court,

where I guarantee
Mr. Wade

will not hesitate
to share all his feelings

about this school.

2.5 million it is.

He doesn't deserve it.

Sorry, I can't help myself.

Look, Mr. Wade,
you were right about one thing.

We rushed into thinking
that you were guilty.

And you know what?

I think that
we're rushing again.

- What're you doing?
- [Dialing]

It's not what I'm doing.

It's what you're doing.

And thanks to this, uh,
nifty, little app right there,

you are gonna call Eliza.

That--well,
that's what she thinks,

so, let's see...
[Dials]

[Line ringing]

Hey, baby, how'd it go?

Jonathan? Baby?
How much did we get?

Not much, baby.

- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.

They were working
on it together

from the very beginning.

It was a Eliza’s idea.

Well, you know what?
I actually believe that.

I think we're done here.

- Stick to the plan.
- This isn't a trap, right?

It's the only way out of this,
scout's honor.

- Counselors.
- Your Honor--

- So...
- [Clears throat]

United States
v. Gravity Sports.

Didn't I tell you?
Absolutely fascinating case.

Mr. Grogan?

Eh.

Mr. Patrick?

I suppose, yeah.

Neither one of you
has anything to say?

All right, um,
what about Chicago v. Burns?

Probably the most controversial
of all the cases. Hmm?

Yeah, I didn't really get it.

Didn't--
No, just kind of...

Your Honor,
we have another plea agreement.

250 hours community service,

and a benefit performance
in lieu of time already served.

- That's good.
- Huh?

I like--that's great.

Okay.

Oh! I thought
that would never end.

- Let's not do this again.
- Agreed.

- See you around?
- Yeah.

- Lauren, hi.
- Hi.

Uh, Olivia called.

She's not getting fired,

and she wants to retain us
as full-time council.

Really?

Yeah. Um...

Our first job, actually, is to
hand over everything to the D.A.

To see if they can indict
Eliza and Jonathan for fraud.

That's good news.

Good night.

Can I ask you something?

If you hated
that school so much,

why didn't your dad
let you leave?

He just thought it would
set me up for life.

It would help mold me.

[Scoffs]

He worried
about that kind of stuff a lot

after my mom died.

Truth is,
he wasn't around very much

to complain to,
once the firm took off.

So...

You, uh...

You lost your mom to cancer.

And you kinda
lost your dad to work,

and then you started
Burgess hall.

[Sighs]

I woulda hated that place too.

Damn, woman.

I hate you a little bit.

[Chuckles]

[Sighs] Lauren...

I could be a better partner.

I wouldn't mind being the one

that gets to fall apart
sometimes.

You?

You know, I'm not saying
it's gonna happen any time soon,

- I'm just saying that...
- Oh, thank God.

- When it does--
- I mean, hypothetically,

- I guess--
- Okay, forget it, forget it.

- Yeah, okay. Yeah, good.
- Forget it.

You know...

I want to get an early start
on this Burgess case tomorrow.

Are you coming home?

Oh, well, um, Olivia and I
are gonna go have dinner.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Oh, here.

- You know, um...
- [Exhales]

I understand
why you fell for Eliza.

[Laughs]

Yeah.

Uh, I guess, uh,
she and I are kind of alike.

[Laughs] You think?

'Cept, uh, you're a rebel
with a cause.
