Stonemore authorized us

to make you a settlement offer.

I did it because I saw an opportunity.

Angela: I accidentally flirted with her husband,

and I really want to apologize.

Cruz just opened a bottle of wine.

I would hate for him to have to drink it alone.

Grady: Nice seeing you jealous.

It's kind of like the old days.

You were fierce if I looked at anybody else.

I'm still fierce.

Mark: I offered a settlement.

I need them to accept it.

Understood.

Luke, you think that was cute?

To send your new co-worker hardcore porn

before she's even had a cup of coffee? No, I didn't think it was cute.

And for what it's worth, you're not the only one who got the hardcore porn

before you had your morning coffee.

What do you mean? I-I... D-Did you mean to send something else?

Is it a joke? I didn't think anything,

and I didn't send anything.

It was my ex-girlfriend. She sent it to everyone.

What do you mean everyone?

I mean everyone.

Luke, can I expect your resignation letter?

Within the hour, sir.

A-And again, sir, I'm... I'm very sorry.

Wait a minute. W... A-Are you packing?

Are you firing him?

I'm not firing him. He's resigning.

I'm guessing you haven't checked your email?

I have, but he says he didn't send it.

Doesn't matter who sent it. Doesn't matter who sent it.

It went from my email address to my entire contact list.

Clients, colleagues, judges.

I'm resigning,

and I'm checking myself into rehab for sex addiction.

Are you a sex addict?

Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.

Can't save his job, but the rehab might save his reputation.

Good luck, Luke. Thank you, sir.

Wait a minute.

Dad? Dad.

Excuse me.

Hi, can you...? Thank you.

Listen, he is the victim of revenge porn.

If you let him just crawl away

and resign in shame to some rehab he doesn't need,

what precedent are you setting?

Julian, Rebel, it's good to see you.

No deal unless Mark Duncan agrees

to pull that valve off the market.

Annie, we're still standing in the lobby.

Oops. Did I forget the small talk and niceties again?

Life's short, gentlemen. Get to the point.

Can you please just let me do what I do?

Cassidy: Benji.

All due respect, I am not finished with our conversation.

But I am.

Cruz is here to discuss the Stonemore settlement,

which takes precedent over Luke's personal life.

I apologize for the email you received this morning.

That associate no longer works for me.

Oh, that's too bad.

From what I could see, he was quite an asset.

Mom, ew.

Dad, he does still work here, because if he's fired,

I'll quit and represent him in his lawsuit against you.

Cassidy, you know what? Just...

Cruz, follow me, will you?

She is irritating. Relentless.

It's not just her. It's the entire generation.

They do not know their place.

They refuse to know their place.

Refusing to know our place

is how we fix the stuff y'all broke.

[ Sighs ]

Your friend's in trouble, huh?

It was revenge porn, and Benji's forcing him to resign.

Well, that's not right.

That's what I said.

Hmm.

Don't be too proud to ask your mother for help,

because I am way too stubborn just to offer it.

Fine.

Mother, will you please help?

Introduce us.

[ Sighs ]

Luke?

Mm. Impressive.

Reminds me of Tiger, the early years.

[ Laughs ]

You can do better? Have at it.

[ Chuckles ]

Stonemore recalls the valve, takes it off the market,

and you have a deal.

Mm.

Sorry, man.

According to Mark Duncan, that's a non-starter.

How about a phased removal?

Nope.

Listen, real talk?

Counter on the money.

Aim high.

He's got deep pockets,

and he wants this thing to go away quietly.

Ah.

Well, my clients want the valve recalled...

At least temporarily.

Your clients are sick in America,

which means they need money.

You tell Duncan to pull it, study it.

If we're wrong and he can prove it,

it goes back on the market.

It's a non-starter, man. It's not gonna happen.

What's gonna happen is you settle

or I make you chase me through the courts for years.

All that money Duncan is prepared

to hand your clients to go away?

He's also prepared to give it to me to fight you.

The only thing he's not gonna do...

Is the right thing. I got it.

You should probably take this club out of my hand

before I accidentally use it to break all your windows.

What'd you do to her?

I broke up with her.

I mean, nearly two years ago now.

And then, last week, she asked me for a large amount of money,

She trashed his reputation and his job,

which doesn't exactly lead to an increased income.[ Laughter ]

Sounds more like revenge than extortion.

Well, yeah, apart from the threats.

What threats? What threats? What threats?

Oh. Oh, she sent me

a nice, little love note this morning.

[ Clears throat ] "Roses are red, violets are blue.

If you think this was bad, wait for tape number two."

Woman: Good morning, Luke.

Okay, thanks.[ Laughter ]

So she's an extortionist but not a very bright one.

Also not a great poet.

What's on tape number two, Luke?

I mean, we were long-distance for years.

We kept in touch through videos.

So I don't know what tape number two is,

but, I mean, I assume it's a bit more graphic.

Luke, you need to call the police. No, I'm not calling the police.

I'm not putting her in jail and ruining her life.

Well, she seems pretty happy ruining yours.

Alright, look, I've... I've known her since we were kids.

I loved her for a long time.

No, let's just... Uh, forget it.

I-I will take out a loan, and I'll just pay her.

If you pay her, she's gonna know threats work.

It'll never stop.

Alright, so, what do I do?

Benji, you have a security risk and a pretty major one.

Your associate is being extorted

There are more tapes.

They're more graphic.

How much more graphic?

He could barely assure me it wasn't a snuff film.

Oh, my God.

[ Chuckling ] I know.

And, you know, if... if graphic sex tapes go out to judges,

that is a big problem.

You're talking lawsuits or worse.

Honestly, I think the Bar might have some feelings about it.

Lucky for you, Lana and I

are pretty good at making things like this go away.

In exchange for what?

How hard have you tried

to get Mark Duncan to pull that valve off the market?

So now you're extorting me.

I didn't extort. I asked a question.

Consider it a negotiation.

I haven't tried because I know he won't budge.

Benji.

You are so good when you set your mind to something.

How about you do that while I deal with your thing?

That was some quick thinking.

Thank you. Think it'll work?

I certainly hope so, because I can't afford not to settle.

[ Sighs ] What do you think's on that tape?

Oh, I'm trying not to picture it.

'Cause Grady and I are back together

and if I start picturing it, it feels like I'm cheating.

You and Grady are back together? Since when?

Since we can't keep our hands off each other.

Well, in that case, I'm happy for you.

Thank you. And I'm gonna ask you

to forget about the things I said about him

when I believed you that it was over.

They're already forgotten.

How are you gonna make that sex tape go away?

Oh, I put Lana and Cassidy on it. [ Sighs ]

I gotta get to the hospital to see Helen.

You're afraid that surgery might kill her.

Yeah.

[ Sighs ] You should just let me resign and go to rehab.

And while you're in rehab,

would have received a tape of...

Okay, okay, okay. I got it.

No, I'm asking. What's the tape of?

I'm sure whatever's on it is not as bad as what I'm imagining.

And what are you imagining?

Okay, never mind. Forget it.

I hate this. I hate this!

You know, when I sent that stuff to Tamsin, I trusted her.

You know? And she used it like a weapon.

And now everybody I work with

Yep, mm-hmm.Okay.

Okay.

Auntie Mel's so pushy.

She's so pushy. [ Chuckles ]

I have a good idea.

How about you just don't die?

I'm trying my hardest.

I promise.

She really can't wait till she's stronger?

She's not going to get stronger. I'm not gonna get stronger.

We have to remove the Stonemore valve

and replace it with a porcine valve as soon as possible.

Until we do, her liver function will only get worse,

which will only make her odds of survival worse.

Thank you. What aremy odds?

No.

I want to know.

Your odds of getting my attention were slim,

and you did it.

Our odds of getting Cruz on board were slim,

and we did that.

And your odds of keeping a sense of humor through all this

were real slim, and you've done it.

I swear to God, Helen, if I were a betting woman,

I'd bet the house on you.

I just got an upsetting email.

Luke was hacked. What?

You got the sausage swinging email?

No. What?

Oh. Okay.

Uh, what email?

The hospital.

They're denying Helen's surgery.

♪♪

The patient's insurance company

sees no evidence her valve is failing.

I'm aware, but I've shown them evidence

that her liver is failing.

It's great research benefit for the hospital,

and I've already agreed to do the surgery pro bono.

That leaves hospital costs, which are still substantial.

Can't you just send her a bill after the fact?

$143,000.15.

That's how much Ms. Peterson currently owes us

for copayments and procedures

her insurance company refused to pay.

The hospital did bill her after the fact.

But with her current payment plan,

it'll be over 100 years before she can pay off that debt.

She'll die.

Without this surgery today, this woman will die.

Do you want to live with that on your conscience?

I work in hospital administration, Ms. Bello.

Every day, multiple people die

because they can't afford the care that they need.

So for my own well-being,

I choose to dedicate my conscience elsewhere.

I sponsor children in the Sudan.

I-I give to my local food bank.

I do all these things with the money I earn from this job,

which I would lose if I caved every time someone like you

accused me of not having a conscience.

[ Sighs ] I need the outstanding debt paid

before I can approve this surgery.

So, they're not asking for a permanent recall.

No. They're asking for a temporary...

No. They're asking you to study it.

They're asking me to trash it!

I got a pornographic video

from one of your colleagues this morning.

And I've apologized for tha...

And I'm saying... Uh, no, I'm asking.

Benji, I'm asking you, what were you worried about

when you first opened that video,

and when you realized it had gone out wide

to all your peers and colleagues,

what was your first thought?

My firm's reputation.

Yes!

You are asking me

to send the equivalent of a pornographic video

to my peers and colleagues, okay?

A naked, drinking-song-singing, humiliating email

that says, "Hey, guys."

[ Laughs ] T-There's probably not a problem here.

I mean, there's zero evidence of a problem.

But we're pulling our best-selling, life-saving valve

off the market to study it really carefully.

And when we determine that there's absolutely no problem,

we'll let you know, and we'll put it back out there

"for you to put in people's bodies."

All they will read in that email is, "problem, problem, problem"!

They will never recommend it again.

The answer is no.

And it's not no because I am some evil corporate bastard

who likes to murder people for fun and profit.

The answer is no because heart conditions run in my family.

I grew up watching people I love suffer.

My father couldn't kick a ball with me past the age of 40

without getting winded.

I got into this business to help people like him, and I have.

And I'm not burning it down.

No.

[ Door opens ]

Cassidy: Maybe you didn't realize this,

but when you sent that email this morning,

you violated at least three sections

of the California Penal code, probably more.

Penal what?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Luke seems to think you do.Mm.

He says you asked him for a loan,

and when he turned you down, you started issuing threats.

Well, Luke here...

He came here to go to law school, and I stayed in London.

And then Luke decided he didn't want to come home,

so he asked me to move here with him,

so I shut down my whole entire life in the UK.

And then when I got here,

Luke decided he didn't want me anymore.

Yeah, well, that's because you turned up

with a satchel full of baby clothes

and paint swatches for a nursery! Oh, oh, that is not fair!

You said... And I... It was an ambush!

I told you I wasn't ready for kids!

I needed to focus on work! I...

And then I did whatever a lovesick twit would do.

I tried to get him back.

And when I stopped being a twit, my fiancée visa ran out,

and I developed a liking for sunny weather.

Yeah. So my lawyer says

that my best option is to get a business visa.

So I need a business.

And the yoga studio's for sale.

And I do not consider this a loan.

I consider it what he owes me.

You sent it to judges, Tam... To judges!

I mean, my career may never recover!

Well, you should have thought about that, Luke,

before you wasted the best years of my life.

So you did send the video.

What?

I mean, yeah, I have a lot of videos.

Sexy ones.

Long distance is hard on a relationship, isn't it?

[ Chuckles ] Thank God for smartphones.

[ Chuckles ] Are we done here?

Look, Tam, if you ruin my career,

I'm not gonna be able to help you with anything ever again.

I mean, I won't even be able to get a loan or a job.

Poor Luke.

And then what would you have to do?

Would you have to move home?

Would you have to live in the constant fear

of that happening to you?

Because that's what you're putting me through.

Okay, listen, lady.

You need to decide what you're really after here.

Now, either you want money, or you want revenge.

I want both.

And I will get it, because Luke is smart and wily,

and he has you clever cats on his side.

So I am sure

that you can help him help me.

The hospital is refusing Helen's surgery.

Can't the company cover it?

Can't we call it a litigation expense?

Well, I would say yes if I had it.

You have until midnight. For what?

The deal we offered you plus another 20%.

No motion on the valve, and we're putting a clock on it.

Benji... Don't. Don't start.

You're gonna help Luke anyway 'cause he's Cassidy's friend,

and she's got almost as big a bleeding heart as you do.

I kept my word. I did what I could. I tried.

Guy's a real prick.

I don't like the way he talks to me,

but he's paying me well, and this is his offer.

I came here in person out of respect, Cruz. I appreciate it.

I'll present it to my clients, and I'll get back to you.

Midnight.

Uh, since you're here,

how about giving us some unredacted discovery,

you know, out of respect?!

Can't believe I married that guy.

You cannot push them to settle

just because you're worried about money.

It is unethical for me to push them

in any direction for any reason.

You know that. I present the facts.

There are tones of voice.

"Tones of voice"?

You can't use any words

to suggest that they should or shouldn't settle,

because then they can come back and sue you later.

However, you are a master of tones of voice

at pushing them in one direction or the other.

You're like a vocal symphony of influence.

It's a good offer, Annie, considering what we have...

Which, at this point, is basically nothing.

[ Scoffs ] We have Helen.

And... A-And for a measly 150 grand,

we can get that faulty valve out of her chest and study it.

"Measly"? They're scared, Cruz.

I can feel it in my bones.

You don't put a clock on an offer like this

unless you're scared.

Ooh.

Hi. Oh, am I early?

We have a lunch date.

Yep, we have a lunch date.

And look. Angela brought a picnic.

Come on. Put it down there.

Okay.

you're gonna have less control over your vocal symphony.

Have fun!

What's a vocal symphony?

Well, it's something she made up.

We could have Flynn pick her up and bring her in.

He could hold her for questioning so she can't send any more tapes.

W-Who's Flynn?

Cassidy: My brother's dad. He's a cop.

No, no. If you have her arrested,

she'll just use her one phone call from jail

to dial a friend and have her friend send the damn tapes.

You don't know her like I know her.

Got it. So your type is straight-up sociopath.

She's not a sociopath. She's just... She's tireless.

I mean, she's always been tireless. And driven.

It's a quality I fell in love with

when I was young and rudderless.

I mean, she put me on the path to becoming a lawyer.

She helped me with my college applications,

my law school applications.

It's just, she's... She's relentless

when she wants something for herself or for someone else.

So putting her in jail is just gonna do two things.

One, it's gonna make her hate me more,

and, two, it's gonna make me hate myself.

'Cause the fact is, I... [ Sighs ]

I do owe her. I owe her a lot.

Have you seen the video she sent?

Yeah, I'm not saying I'm not furious, alright?

I'm just saying, I'm... I'm not out for revenge.

mixed in between these giant black lines

that also mean nothing.

Her voice was always so comforting, and not just for me.

I know. To everyone. [ Sighs ]

And now Cruz is on a lunch date with another woman,

and I have a terrible feeling about it

even though it was entirely my doing.

And, I don't know, maybe it's... Maybe it's just because

Helen right now looks so much like Sharon did in the end.

And I... And I want to save her life,

Yes, this is true.

Stonemore is holding at not recalling the valve.

So it comes down to...

How much we're all worth.

How much your pain and suffering is worth.

It's different for everyone.

Some of the plaintiffs have been able to remain employed.

Not me. I'm on disability.

If we go to trial, a jury could award more.

Yeah, or we could lose and get nothing.

Cruz: That is correct. It's a gamble, at this point.

that their valve was defective and at fault,

If we agree to settle, can you make them pay for my mom to have the surgery today?

[ Water splashes ]

Oh.What was that?

Oh. Wow.

Is that my, um... Rebel: Uh, it's okay.

Is that my... It's... It's... It's just water.

Cruz: Her water broke? Yes, and it's okay.

We're gonna clean it up.

Uh, Ziggy, bring me my bag.

And you are gonna go and meet your baby soon.

Oh, my God. You got her. Okay.

And the rest of you, think on this offer.

We cannot settle just to pay for Helen's surgery,

because if Helen lives, she won't be able to live with that.

[ Tires screech ]

[ Engine shuts off ]

Hey!

I came as fast as I could.

What's the emergency? Maddie's in labor.

The hospital is demanding

that Helen pay for her surgery up-front,

so we have to take a second mortgage out on the house.

Hal drew up something really quick.

We just have to sign it, and then he'll expedite it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Come on, Grady. We'll get the money back.

I'm supposed to risk my house? Ziggy's house?

Oh, Ziggy doesn't care about the house.

She could live in a shack.

Y-You said it yourself. She needs stability, right?

I'm not gonna do anything else to mess up her sobriety.

Nothing is gonna change. I'm gonna win the case.

Yeah, and if you don't, we're bankrupt,

we're homeless, Ziggy's gonna suffer.

No. It's stupid 10 different ways.

Fine.

Don't you dare forge my signature, either.

Rebel!

Okay, I won't.

But can't we just please do this for Helen?

No. Babe, I'm sorry.

But I am kind of touched that you even asked,

'cause in the old days,

you'd have forged my signature straight away.

It's progress. You're treating me like a partner.

Luke: Feminist yoga teacher Tamsin Pless,

who also happens to be my ex-girlfriend,

used revenge porn against me.

[ Chuckles ] She leaked private videos

of my private parts to my professional colleagues.

Revenge porn is a feminist issue

with upwards of 80% of its victims being women.

Revenge porn destroys lives. It destroys careers.

It's cruel, it's painful, and it's humiliating.

It's abuse.

Tamsin Pless is a fake. She's a fraud.

And she's definitely not a feminist.

Together: And she is officially canceled.

Yes, well done. Well done.

Take it down. Take it down right now!

What's the matter, Tamsin? The truth hurt?

Luke, you know that that will end me.

Please, you gotta take it down.

Hurts when someone uses how well they know you

to try and ruin you, doesn't it?

Lukey, please.

We haven't posted it yet. Cassidy: But he will.

And I will, and I'll have my 16-year-old sister

and all her little friends post it, hashtag it,

and spread it like wildfire.

Unless you give over your phone and your computer right now

and let us scrub it

of all of Luke's professional contact information

and your... homemade porn.

How much of it? All of it.

And we're gonna need your passwords to your cloud.

Lukey, can you... "Lukey"?

Excuse me.

You... Can you come...

Lukey, those videos, they're sacred to me.

They're all I've got left of us.

You've got a very weird idea of sacred, Tam.

Luke, please... No.

[ Stammers, laughs ][ Cellphone ringing ]

That is not fair![ Luke scoffs ]

After everything I've done for you!

Excuse me? "Not fair"? I don't care!

Fair? You really want to talk about not fair? You owe me a lot of money

for everything I did! Owe you?!

Are you kidding?

Hey, I heard about the water breaking in the conference room.

The whole office is talking about it.

Yep. Oh.

It was dramatic.

I'm at the hospital.

Hey, are you still working

on that revenge porn thing? Lana: Yeah.

Do you think Luke could afford to pay us?

Tamsin: Oh, I don't need you anymore? Luke: Oh, the fir... Yeah first...

How much?

150 grand.

Okay, so we're extorting him

in exchange for helping him not get extorted?

We are not extorting. We are charging.

Why does everyone keep accusing me of extortion today?

Because you're getting desperate.

And when you get desperate, you get pushy.

Luke is a corporate lawyer. He makes good money.

Okay, you're too late.

His problem's over. I'm that good.

Ooh! But we're... we're right here with you, okay?

She's only 2 centimeters. I'll call you when we need you, okay?

[ Maddie groans ][ Knock on door ]

Hey. Just, uh, wanted to see how things are going.

Maddie: Rebel, please.

Please, I don't care what my mom says.

Please make Cruz take the settlement.

My mom will die if she doesn't get this surgery,

and I won't survive losing this baby without her.

Please. [ Groans ]

She's barely dilated,

and her blood pressure's through the roof.

She's got hours left. If she doesn't calm down,

I'm gonna have to do an emergency C-section.

[ Gasping ] Ow.

Maddie? Maddie, honey?

I promise you, hand to heart,

your mom is not leaving this hospital

without that surgery, okay?

I promise you. Okay.

Okay? Okay.

So just calm down. Calm down. It's okay.

[ Clears throat ] So, there are no more tapes,

there will be no more threats, and Luke will not be resigning.

He will instead donate his pro bono time

to helping other victims,

thereby turning his personal humiliation

into good press for the firm.

Why does this matter so much to you?

Well, if Luke were a woman,

particularly a woman of color,

the State Bar would already be investigating.

They'd say she was undermining confidence

in the legal profession and hit her with disciplinary action.

So, the both of you are cisgender, heterosexual men.

With that comes privilege.

You need to use that privilege to set a precedent

so the next time this happens and it happens to a woman,

she can't be forced to resign.
