Stonemore authorized us

to make you a settlement offer.

I did it because I
saw an opportunity.

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.

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.

I offered a settlement.

I need them to accept it.

Understood.

Yes!

Yes, yes, yes.

Ooh. Yes, right there.

Right there.

Oh!

Oh, you're so good.

This is good? Ooh!

Yeah. Ooh, ooh!

Ooh.

That... is...

Ooh!

Yes.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Um, don't you knock?!

What are you, uh, doing?

What am Idoing?
What are youdoing?

What does it look like we're
doing? We're making up.

You said you wanted
us to make up.

I wanted you to
go to counseling.

This is better than counseling.
Better than counseling.

Whatever. I need
your blow dryer.

See ya, then.

Oh, no.

Oh, man.

Uh...

Oh, it's killing you.

It's killing you. Just check it.

Well, it's just...

It's just because Helen's
having her surgery today.

Yeah.

Isit Helen?

No. It's, uh, Benji's office.

It's Luke Chapman,
his associate.

I wonder what he wan...

Wow.

W-Whoa.

What in the hell?

Talented. Uh...

You have strange taste in porn.

Oh. Oh!

Are you alright?

What is it?

D... Oh! No, no, no, no, no!

Is there something
you need to tell me?

No! Just turn it off! Why
are you still playing it?

So this is how they
do it at Benji's?

Stop. Oh, my God.

'Cause it's ridiculous.

Oh, my God.

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?

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.

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.

Luke?

Mm. Impressive.

Reminds me of Tiger,
the early years.

You can do better? Have at it.

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,

and so I said no. So
she's extorting you.

She trashed his
reputation and his job,

which doesn't exactly lead to
an increased income.

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.

"Roses
are red, violets are blue.

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

Woman: Good morning, Luke.

Okay, thanks.

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?

Uh...

Um, I gotta go.

You're gonna give your ex's name

and everything you know
about her to Lana, alright?

And, uh, for God's sake,
change your passwords.

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

Your associate is being extorted

by an angry and seemingly
stupid ex-girlfriend

who now has access
to all his contacts.

I've issued apologies
to all those contacts,

and I've accepted
Luke's resignation.

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.

I know.

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

peers, from an
RSS email address,

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.

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 things
going with Angela?

I'm cooking dinner
for her this weekend.

Apparently, the eggplant emoji

means something more than
just eggplant parmesan.

How are you gonna make
that sex tape go away?

Oh, I put Lana and
Cassidy on it.

I gotta get to the
hospital to see Helen.

You're afraid that
surgery might kill her.

Yeah.

You should just let
me resign and go to rehab.

And while you're in rehab,

every judge and every lawyer
you've ever worked with

would have received a tape of...

Okay, okay, okay. I got it.

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

You're not funny. Come on.

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

has seen, you know,
my... my everything.

Such a violation.
It feels awful.

Hey. What are you doing here?

I'm... Well, Lana's
helping Luke.

He didn't send it
himself. Got it.

Yeah, sorry you
had to, uh, see it.

Yeah. Me, too.

He's a victim, Amir.

Yep. It's just, I'm having
trouble accessing the sympathy.

I'm like a computer.

Uh, can't quite reboot.

Okay, we're just
gonna go... Yeah.

Yep, mm-hmm.Okay.

Okay.

And don't let Auntie
Mel take the piano.

It's yours.

Grandma wanted you to have it.

I'll have to nail
the door closed.

Auntie Mel's so pushy.

She's so pushy.

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.

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."

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.

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?

Thank
God for smartphones.

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.

Ooh, before I accidentally
send things that

he really, really
doesn't want me to send.

He's a naughty boy, that one.

Hey, there, sexy.

That's a really nice suit.

Who was that?

I don't know, but I like her.

I need 150 grand.

And I need a bird-watching
trip to New Zealand.

Oh, no, Cruz, you
don't understand.

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.

I don't want to see Helen
die any more than you do,

but I don't have it.

Tell us he said yes.

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.

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.

Come in. Excuse me.

Ooh.

Hi. Oh, am I early?

We have a lunch date.

Yep, we have a lunch date.

Do you need to cancel?

I'm... I'm easy. We can
reschedule. Oh, good.

Because opposing counsel
just put a clock on an offer,

and I need to gather the...
the steering committee.

Oh, w... Y... It's gonna take
them some time to get here.

And look. Angela
brought a picnic.

Come on. Put it down there.

Okay.

I love that dress.

Beautiful color. Thank you.

You need to eat, Cruz.

Because if you're hungry,

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?

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...

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.

I just want it to stop now
before it gets any worse.

Fine, fine. She has half
a million followers,

and it looks like her brand
is power yoga and feminism.

Yeah. Oh, we could
work with that.

Definitely.

How's it going?

Find anything useful?

No, and I'm going blind

from staring at these random
words that mean nothing

mixed in between these
giant black lines

that also mean nothing.

How is this legal? I don't know.

We went to court, and we won.

And they're just allowed to hit
us with boxes full of garbage?

How much does Cruz
charge an hour

for us to waste our lives
wading through this crap?

Seriously, Mom, this is how
our justice system works?

Now you understand why sometimes
I work just outside of it.

God. What's gonna
happen to Helen

and Maddie and all of them?

Are they just
supposed to wait years

for us to sort
through this crap?

I miss your Aunt Sharon.

I miss her every day.

Me, too.

She's who I would talk to.

She's the one I would call

if I was feeling really
stuck or scared or broken

or didn't know how
to handle Cruz.

She's... She's the
one I would call,

and she'd always give
me the best advice.

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

I know. To everyone.

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,

and I don't know
how to pay for it,

and I, uh... I don't
have Sharon to call.

I can't even ask
Sharon for advice,

and now I am just...
I am feeling it.

I am... I am feeling
it, and I'm in it.

Cruz is on a date?

It's lunch.

It's nothing.

That's... Forget it.

Carry on with what you're doing.

Just, you know, read the other
lines, not the black lines.

Yep, I'll be here.

Thank you. Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For forgetting.

I haven't been on a
date in over 40 years.

I have a good idea.

What? Give me a quick kiss.

What?

We're grown-ups. We're
attracted to each other.

We're gonna kiss eventually,
and you haven't kissed anyone,

other than your
wife, in 40 years,

so let's just get
it out of the way.

We can break the tension and
just have a good conversation.

Okay.

Okay.

That was nice.

Now
eat your cheese.

And tell me what you're
so stressed about.

But don't tell me
any of the details,

'cause I watch a lot
of lawyer movies.

I know all about
attorney/client privilege.

Well, I have a big case,

and, uh, there's an offer
to settle on the table.

And you're deciding
whether or not to take it.

Well, I don't decide.
My clients decide.

But it has been
pointed out to me

that, uh, my tone of voice
carries some influence.

Mm.

Well, here's what I was taught.

And I sure wish I could say
it was something old-fashioned

like my grandfather
taught it to me,

but the truth is, I learned it
from a really good therapist.

You... You sit still,

and you imagine both
of the outcomes,

and you let the imagining of it

kind of course
through your body.

And one outcome will
make your body relax,

and the other will
make you tense up.

The one that makes you relax

is the right one.

You make me relax.

Stonemore is now
offering $300 million,

which roughly comes down
to 100 grand per person.

But they won't take the
valve off the market,

and they want us
all to sign an NDA.

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.

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

If we go to trial, we need
to prove that Stonemore knew

that their valve was
defective and at fault,

and they did nothing about it.

Well, how can we do that?

We keep going. We...
We fight in court.

We demand unredacted discovery.

It will go a long way when
we have Helen's heart valve

and study it.

I thought Helen can't
afford her surgery.

We're working on it.

I say we settle. I
need my mom to live.

I need her not to die because
she couldn't afford to live.

This surgery is her only shot,

and the settlement
will pay for that.

Maddie, your mom voted no.

She was very clear that she
did not want to settle...

I know. I know what she said.

I know what shewants. But
what I want is my mom.

I want my mom.

My baby's not gonna live,
so I need my mom to live.

Honey, we are gonna...
Can you add that?

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

Oh.What was that?

Oh. Wow.

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

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

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.

Could I get a mop?

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.

Feminist yoga
teacher Tamsin Pless,

who also happens to
be my ex-girlfriend,

used revenge porn against me.

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.

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.
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.

That is not fair!

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?

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.

Didn't you say your
new boyfriend was rich?

How rich? I'm hanging up now.

I need my mom!

I need my mom! Please, I...

Maddie, it's okay.
You're doing great.

Dr. Nelson just thinks

it'd be a little too much
for your mom to be here.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

It's alright.

No!

Mom.

Mom. H-Honey, go in
there and hold her hand.

She needs company, and
right now, I can't...

Mom, my college fund.

What?

You say that again so
I know you mean it.

My college fund. It has
over $100,000 in it, right?

Yeah, but I want you
to go to college.

I will. I-I'll go to college.

I'll go to law school.

What? I know that
you hate lawyers,

but I want to get inside
the system so I can fix it.

I love you.

And I love that.

But I-I... I may not be
able to pay you back.

If we lose this case, I
cannot pay you back. I c...

Then I'll take out loans
like everyone else.

Mom, she's in there
right now in so much pain

giving birth to a
baby that's gonna die.

Her mom can't die, too.

She can't... I
can't handle that.

Please, just take
my college fund.

You cannot tell your dad.

Obviously.

Okay, go.

Alright,
Maddie, it's time.

You can give me a push, okay?

Yeah, good job. There you go.

Push cardioplegia.

Alright, Helen.

Your heart is gonna stop
briefly while on bypass.

Do not go toward the light.

Maddie? Huh?

I need you to push
one more time, okay?

No! I can't! I can't! One
more time. Yes, you can!

You can do this! One
more time. No, I can't.

Yes, you can. Come on.
Maddie, you know how you need

your mother to fight
like hell right now?

You need to fight just
as hard. Let's go. Ready?

Now. Push! Push!

I got it, Helen.

It's out.

Anesthesiologist: Dr. Nelson,
are we ready to re-warm?

Yep.

Okay, Helen. I got you.

We're almost done.

You did great.

You both did great.

Hi, baby.

Let's give them a minute.

Thank you.

Hi, baby.

Hey.

I love you so much.

Hey. Hi.

Hey.

Hey.
Hey.

It's late, Annie. I know.

How's Maddie? Just as expected.

That baby's not gonna live long.

But she's so beautiful,
and Maddie did great.

And Helen made it
through her surgery,

and all indications are
she's gonna be okay.

Oh, thank God.

Yeah, and it gets better.

Misha noticed
deterioration on the valve.

What kind of deterioration?
Doesn't matter.

Those valves are not
supposed to deteriorate,

which means there could
be something leaking,

like, some kind of chemical
or metal into the bloodstream.

Misha's gonna study it.Great.

But, Cruz, this is it.

This the smoking gun.

Got it. I'm gonna run
it by the plaintiffs

in the tone of voice you like.

Then I'm gonna call Benji,

and I'm passing in a
tone of voice I like.

No deal.

No deal.

How did you pay for the surgery?

Oh, never mind about that.

Just do your thing and
meet me at the hospital.

Unless you're busy
gettin' busy with Angela.

Thank you.

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.

Ah, it's Cruz.

You think he's settling,
Luke? We taking bets?

I mean, d-do I still work here?

Work here?

I got $500 says
they don't settle.

No. Oh, come on.
Cruz is going broke.

He needs to settle.

Put some skin on it.Alright.

Hey, Cruz. What's the word?

And just like that,
I made 500 bucks.

Hey. Thanks for coming.

Anytime, kid.

How was your day?
Wha... What'd you do?

I don't know. It
was kind of boring.

Thought a baby was born.

Yeah. I mean, yeah,
that was cool.

What about Helen? Did Cruz
come up with the money?

'Cause I know your
mom was stressed.

I think that I want
to be a lawyer.

What?

For real?

Yeah.

I mean, it's like...

I really love working at Cruz's,

and everything's
really messed up.

But Mom saved Helen today,

and I-I r... I like being in it.

That's... sick!

That's cool!

That's so... so cool! I'm...

Well, I'm proud of
you! Yeah! Hell yeah!

Your mom, her work...
I-I gotta admit,

sometimes it feels great
to be part of it, right?

Yeah. Right?

Law dog. Whoa! That's crazy.

Come on. Wow.

Hi. Dr. Nelson,
cardiothoracic surgery.

I need Helen Peterson's
heart valve, please.

Sure.

I can't wait to study it.

Stonemore has a patent on the
coating, but we can sample it,

can break it down,
analyze the components,

and then I can compare it to
the older version of the...

Oh.

I'm sorry, but I can't find it.

W-What?

W-What do you mean,
you can't find it?

I mean it's not here.

Where is it? Where
else could it be?

Nowhere. This is where.
Can you look again?

It's not back there.

Uh, you need to go look again.

Okay, okay.Okay.

You need to look again.
Please look again.

Okay, I will look again.
