- Hey. - Hey.

- Everything all right? - No.

- You want to go upstairs and talk? - No.

I just found out that I'm on notice

at the firm because of you.

What happened?

You walked out on me day fucking one, Billy.

You know, how stupid am I to think this would work?

I'm sorry, I wasn't feeling right.

You know what I hate the most?

I hate the fact that I have to rely on you.

That's what I really hate.

Look, I know I haven't been there for you much...

No, you have not.

Well, I'm here now.

- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.

So what do you mean you're on notice?

I'm on track for equity partnership.

- Good, you deserve it. - Yes, I do.

And you know what happens if we fuck this case up?

And the whole time that I was sitting here

waiting for you, and I j... I figured out the whole thing.

They hired me to get to you.

- That's it. - No, that's bullshit.

They hired you 'cause you're a damn good lawyer.

I am, I am, but I'm only half of a team, apparently.

So what do you want me to say? I-I'm doing my best.

Yeah, well, you do better.

Well, I think I found a whistleblower

on the Tillinger Health case.

What?

Where? When?

Rob gave me the deposition video of their CEO.

Tom True got a call when they took a break,

and it was somebody looking for protection, so...

I don't remember that.

Well, it's not in the transcript.

Anyway, he wrote a number down and I-I couldn't see it

on the computer, it was too small, so...

Well, we're gonna need more than that.

Well, you know everything in the boxes of discovery.

You see any names in there

that might suggest somebody on the inside

who may want to talk or something?

I don't, I don't know, I'd have to sift

through everything again.

No, of course you disappear and you find something.

It's just, it's, uh...

I'm going to bed, okay?

And the next time

that you don't feel good, okay, please let me know.

Call me; if you don't want to call me, send me a text.

You don't want to send me a text, send me an emoji.

I don't care, just let me know.

What's an emoji?

You better... That's nice, very funny.

Day fucking one.

Goddamn it.

Hey!

Say, is the noon train on time?

Supposed to be.

Do I know you?

Not really.

You're fucking with me, aren't you?

You ask too many fucking questions.

You should really try their almond rings.

- It's pretty amazing. - Yeah?

Thank you.

- Thanks. - Mm-hmm.

Uh, listen, I got to ask you something straight-up.

Okay.

Is my equity partnership

contingent on Billy winning this case?

No. Why do you ask?

Ava cornered me.

I told you, she stalks the elevators.

Yeah, well, she implied that if Billy shits the bed,

I'm done at Margolis & True.

That's not her decision.

- It's her vote. - Yeah, she has a vote.

But I'll handle Ava.

- She's my stepmom, you know? - Yeah.

And she's younger than me, which isn't awkward at all.

Really?

By five months, yeah.

Oh, God, that's fucked-up.

I'm the only Margolis that matters to you at this firm.

And in regards to Ava, just, you know,

I mean, if you want to be safe, I'd recommend taking the stairs.

We good?

- Yeah. - Good.

Yeah.

You were right about Billy.

I found him at the bar.

Oh, shocking.

It was nice, we had a drink.

He's... charming.

Yeah, when he wants to be. Yeah.

Oh, by the way, um...

so I spoke to him late last night.

And don't get excited, 'cause...

it's probably not a big deal, but, um...

he thinks he found a whistleblower?

Well, that could be huge.

- Right. Right. - Yeah.

Yeah, 'cause, um, Rob gave Billy the Tillinger video.

And apparently, he found something off the record.

Great.

Yeah, well, let's make sure that Billy, you know...

Oh, I will stay on him.

White on rice.

He's tenacious, that one, isn't he?

He's an "-aceous," yeah.

Yeah.

Hey, uh, Patty needs you.

What are you doing?

Looking for Tom True's notepad from the Tillinger deposition.

Listen, can you get me a key to get in Tom's apartment?

Uh, I can't, but Sam can.

- The firm owns it. - Okay, great.

Okay, uh, Sam's not in yet, uh...

Patty and Griffin Petock are in the conference room.

This time of year we take the kids down to Cabo.

Zip-lining, boating.

Would really love to get the oldest scuba certified,

- you know? - Mm-hmm.

- You scuba? - Yes.

- Isn't it magical? - Mm.

Griffin Petock.

Billy McBride.

I know.

It's great to finally meet the man.

Yeah, what do you got?

Tillinger Health is prepared

to offer you ten million to make this go away.

That's just a nuisance fee.

Well, isn't that what this lawsuit is?

I mean, you're suing my clients

under the public nuisance statute.

Public nuisance, negligence,

conspiracy, fraud.

All generic charges off of a form template.

$10 million, huh?

Look, the ten million is coming out of my salary.

It's what it'll cost Tillinger to go to trial.

Take it. Not too shabby

- for a day's work. - You're not even close.

We can't settle for anything less

than the 160 million Zax Pharma paid.

George Zax is a sap.

He settled against my advice, out of some misguided

sense of public service.

So you're saying Tillinger doesn't give

a rat's ass about the public?

I would never say that about one of my clients.

Look, here's where we're at.

Tillinger and Russell Drug are joined at the hip,

willing to go to trial, happy to split the costs.

They have deep pockets and they'll bury you.

Let's put this to bed for ten million.

Zax and Tillinger and Russell Drug

flooded this country with billions of pills.

You get 'em hooked, and you sell 'em more.

People die, who gives a shit?

You can always hook a new customer with a bad back.

You know, George Zax had the balls to give out

free 30-day prescriptions to new patients.

Zax Pharma is settled.

Yeah, not on my watch.

Your clients have been reckless.

They've killed over 200,000 people for profit.

That's a targeted business plan.

Now, I may be new here,

maybe I'm just getting up to speed,

but I'm in the mood to stick my fist up your ass

and pull out billions, you get it?

Well, that's optimistic.

I know you just got started, Billy, but, uh,

you inherited a loser case from Tom True.

Yeah, well, I've won more with less.

I know.

I've seen your Blackwood County complaint.

Big fan.

By the way, I know all your greatest hits.

Borns Tech? Holy moly.

That just means you know

I can convince a jury to see things my way.

Right.

So I guess I got front-row seats to your next show.

You're damn right you do.

Looking forward to going mano a mano.

We'll be in touch.

- Such a dick. - Wow.

Bye.

Hey.

Hey.

Come on in.

Should I shut this?

Please.

So how did it go with Griffin?

Good, we're gonna hit him in the mouth.

- Good. - Yeah.

Say, have you heard anything from Tom True?

Question of the day.

No, I haven't.

Hmm.

Well, listen, uh,

um, I want to get in his apartment,

and, uh, find his notes.

- Rob says you have a key? - Right.

Patty said that you might have found an insider.

Yeah, yeah, maybe, yeah.

Great.

Has Tom ever mentioned anybody to you?

No.

Well, I guess he has his reasons.

He wasn't the kind of guy to mention a thing

unless the thing was actually

a thing.

Well, I think it's worth it, thing or not.

There's a great Italian restaurant

right down the street from his apartment,

if you get sick of the food at Ming's.

All right.

You know you can call me.

Consider me, um...

a resource, a friend.

I appreciate that.

Just so you know, I'm-I'm not really great with phone calls.

Mm. Yeah, I'm not that great at walking,

but I still do it.

Fair enough, I'll make an effort.

Thank you.

Appreciate this.

Yeah.

- Let me know what you find. - Yeah, I will, for sure.

"If you think you have enough Skittles in stock,

trust me, you don't. Double your order."

Mm, "Don't stop.

"Send as much as you can.

Can't keep the candy on the shelves."

"I fucking love addicts.

Once they pop, they don't stop."

"It's like people are addicted to all the sugar.

Oh, wait, they are."

"We can't destroy these emails, can we?

LOL."

Jesus Christ, these assholes.

Wow, oh, my goodness, uh...

so we got Dale Phoenix, Tillinger account manager.

Joseph Bildman, Russell Drug VP of sales.

- Cross them off the whistleblower list? - Yeah.

Boom. Hey, this stuff is still good for trial, though.

I don't know. I mean, being an asshole isn't against the law.

You know, I think Griffin's just gonna blame the doctors.

Saying they were filling the demands

- of legitimate prescriptions. - Mm-hmm.

I was really impressed with how you and Billy handled Griffin.

- Thanks. Mm. - I think you really made him sweat.

Hey, um, I heard a rumor.

Mm-hmm.

Did Billy really do the Blackwood County case

pro bono?

Mm-hmm, yep.

Wait, $500 million settlement?

- Pro bono? - Yes.

- Mm-hmm. - Wow.

That's badass.

That is so freakin' cool.

I mean, like, the dude doesn't even care about money at all.

At all, at all.

Hey.

You know, uh, it's so weird.

I'm just never fast enough to catch the elevator.

You don't have to wait with me, Rob.

I don't mind hangin' till your driver gets here...

I don't need a fucking babysitter.

Have a good night.

Yeah, you, too.

You're late again, Marko.

Get a watch, man.

Oh, baby.

Damn it.

There we go.

- Jesus. - Relax.

Tom.

- Hey. - Oh, my God.

Jesus Christ. Where you been?

Listen, don't tell anybody you've seen me, all right?

What's...

What's-what's going on?

Well... they're after me.

Who?

Sam.

What?

Listen, I don't want to get you involved.

Look, is this about the case?

Of course it has to do with the fucking case.

You... What, are you not listening to me?

But you're not saying anything to me.

- Let me ask you. - What does this have to do with Sam?

Whose idea was it to bring in Billy McBride?

Exactly.

Now, you can't trust anybody at the firm.

Jesus, Tom. That's, uh...

- How am I supposed to... - Listen, listen to me.

I need to know something.

Do you trust Billy McBride?

I mean, I-I guess, but I hardly even know the guy.

I know you don't know him, but I know you.

- Can you trust him? - Yeah. Yeah.

I-I think he's a good guy.

- Are you gonna tell me what's going on? - Okay, okay.

Why don't you come in? Just come in.

Hey, you're scaring me, Tom.

You're scaring me. Just come in.

- Just come in. Where are you... - Don't tell Sam we spoke.

- All right? - Tom, Tom...

- Trust me. - Where are you going?

Trust me.

You're six minutes late.

And the sky didn't fall. He inside?

Indeed. Impatiently waiting.

Perfect. Shall we?

After you.

Delicious. It's really good.

You got to crack it.

Come on, I've got plenty.

- Look, there's more in there. You got to crack it open. - Use your hammer.

Hey, what-what do you think you have this for?

- I've been cracking all night. - Sam.

Sit.

Gentlemen.

I apologize for being late.

Oh, Fern's the only one who gives a shit about that.

How's your health?

Today's a pretty good day.

That's wonderful to hear.

Because I'm about to rip you a new asshole.

Two words: Tom True.

- George, we... - Where is he?

We've only found his car.

Yeah, at the fucking airport. I heard.

The problem being I didn't hear it from you.

George, there's so many...

What was our agreement?

I apologize for you not hearing it directly from me.

That's not what I asked you.

We settle the case.

We? Who's we?

Be specific, Counselor.

I personally ensure the State of California

will accept settlements from all three of your companies.

And?

- We will... - Who?

I will make sure that no damaging information

about you is publicly revealed in court.

And in exchange?

We... Margolis & True...

will receive our share of the settlements.

The grand prize being?

Zax Pharma, Tillinger Health, Russell Drug

will formally retain Margolis & True

for all legal services.

Ivan, does she inspire confidence?

Yes.

Victor?

Yes.

- Dylan? - Yeah, Dad.

You pass.

Part one. Now...

Billy McBride.

You don't have to worry about him.

Correct. He is your problem.

What is my problem?

I am.

Keep me posted.

Gentlemen.

Oh, Sam?

Just before you arrived, I was telling them

how well our settlement went over on Wall Street.

How much is our stock up, Fern?

3.7%.

Yeah.

You were right about the news show, Sam.

Good call.

I fell in love with the girl...

...who lived right here in this apartment.

Tess.

Yeah, I just moved in here a couple of weeks ago.

I know that.

I married her.

She's gone now.

Poor thing actually died on her birthday,

if you can believe that.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Why would you be sorry? You didn't know her.

Yeah, that's true. I didn't.

Why are you here?

Well, I'm, uh, I'm in town working on a case.

I'm a lawyer. My name's Billy McBride.

How about you? What's your name?

I've seen you, in your suit.

- Oh. - And I've seen the blonde lady,

in her suit.

One might wonder.

- No, it's not-not like that. - Oh.

You know what I don't understand?

- Hmm. - Why you're here.

No one's lived in this place for years.

Well, the blonde lady in the suit,

she found the place for me.

- Oh. - Yeah.

And I go to the doctor down the street.

You go to Ming?

Yeah. Yeah.

He's full of shit.

Jesus Christ, but he's expensive.

Yeah, you might be right about that.

I've lived in this place for 40 goddamn years.

I better be right about it.

Mm.

You want a drink?

No, thanks. I just took my pills.

Maybe another time.

What's the matter with you?

How do you mean?

Well, you go to Dr. Ming.

You got to be fucked-up somehow.

Yeah.

Yeah, I, uh... I got shot.

Ah. I've been shot.

Fucking hurts.

Yeah, it does.

You look smaller up close.

Really?

You tip over when the wind blows?

I can handle a gust of wind.

Oh, my God.

Look at this.

These were hers.

- I'm gonna sit, if you don't mind. - Sure.

Oh.

The old rocking chair. We love that.

You ought to take them with you.

No. Actually...

...I think you need them more than I do.

Oh, that prick.

See the little prick in the car down there?

He's been there all night.

I'll tell you,

there's always someone.

Watching.

Hello?

How'd you get my number?

You Greg Wetzel?

- Billy McBride? - Yeah.

Uh... this is for you.

What am I gonna be looking at?

Purchase orders, bills of lading,

corroborating memos from top Tillinger Health executives.

These guys were ordering employees

to double, triple,

even quadruple pill shipments.

Is Ivan Tillinger's name on any of those memos?

Yeah, on a few, but it was my job

to flag these shipments if they violated federal regulations.

I was the only member

of this DEA-required compliance department.

It was a joke.

How often did that happen?

Every day.

And I told these guys. I said,

"What we're doing is illegal. This is a..."

They didn't care.

These guys don't care. Their greed was pathological.

And I kept pestering them

until they finally forced me out.

They gave me a...

hefty retirement package.

I retired at 38.

That's a joke.

Are you willing to testify in court to that?

No.

Look, I know Tom True promised to protect you

if you came out against Tillinger.

I promise you I'll do the same.

Tom True. I never talked to Tom True.

What do you mean?

- I never talked to Tom True. - Course you did.

I called him. I left a message.

He has my number. He never called me back.

- Really? - Yes.

So you're saying you never had a phone conversation

- with Tom True last August? - No.

Okay.

I never did anything wrong my entire life

until I started working for this fucking company.

You know, your testimony

could keep a lot more people from being hurt.

So you need to think

about this long and hard, okay?

Right.

I testify, and I end up in pieces

in the bottom of the bay. No, thank you.

Did somebody threaten you?

I gave you what you need.

Don't call me again.

All right, I gave him the paperwork,

- I'm done. - Good.

I sent a car to pick you up and take you to the airport.

I... Is leaving town really necessary?

McBride is gonna try to find you again.

- You have to go. - Look, I have a life.

You know that, right?

This is what you were paid for, Greg.

Jesus. How do you sleep at night?

I'm sorry I was such an asshole before.

Yeah, I'm used to it.

Can I come in?

Yeah. Of course.

- Thanks. - Yeah.

Whoa.

You finally redecorated.

Oh.

Yeah, well,

tell a guy his couch smells like wet dog enough times and...

Look, um,

Sam, you...

you really don't have to apologize

about earlier, you know.

I get it.

You're under a lot of pressure.

And your driver sucks.

You need a reliable guy.

Marko's like family. I could never...

- Oh. - ...fire him.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

You mind if I sit?

Yeah. Yeah.

Are you okay?

Ken found Tom's car

at the airport

at long-term parking.

Really?

W... I mean, where'd-where'd he go?

Nowhere, apparently.

He's just trying to fool somebody, I guess.

I think he killed himself.

J-J-Jesus.

- No. Sam, please, stop. - You know what he was going through

- with his wife and his daughter. - Yeah, I know.

But...

- No. - Well, then,

why haven't we heard from him?

Have you heard from him?

No.

It just makes me sad, you know.

Tom and I were...

I thought we were really close.

I don't know why he's not communicating with me.

Well,

I get it.

I don't understand what's going on, either.

Who knows what anyone's thinking.

Yeah, who knows.

Rob, please do not pull a Tom True on me.

I need you to know that...

I mean, I know that our relationship is different now,

but... you can talk to me.

- Yeah. Yeah. - You know? Just know that.

Okay.

Why does Patty get to jump the line in front of me

for equity partnership?

Because she settled the Blackwood County case

- for $500 million, Rob. - Yeah, I know.

But, I mean, you know, like, other than that.

I put in the work, Sam.

- I know you have. - Yeah, I've been nothing

but a rock-solid and reliable senior associate

- for way too long. - I just don't think

that this is the time to talk about that.

We have to settle this case.

And then we can talk about that, okay?

Okay. Fine. Yeah.

Guess I missed the fine print on your offer to talk,

you know?

No, I said we can talk, just not right now.

- Yeah, not right now? Yeah, that's what you... - No, we can talk about it.

- But I just... We shouldn't talk about it right now. - No, honestly, Sam,

- you don't want to talk about it. - I think we should talk

- about it in the office. - I think everything that's coming

out of your mouth is bullshit.

We can talk about it at a later time.

- Yeah. - Yeah. I know my way out.
