"It's easy to get stuck
in ancient thinking.

My first goal is
to lead us into the 21st century

and the company in a new direction."

- Do you live here?
- I am her lawyer. Abigail.

Aidan.

I thought,
if you wanted to go out tonight.

My Goodness.
What have you done to my daughter?

She was drunk when she came.

- Call the dogs back. I have Nico.
- What are you talking about? Nico is here.

He walked all night from Deep Cove.
13 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,000

You are a bitch.
You are some crap parents.

I don't let my children
stay here one minute longer.

He wants an evaluation
of parental authority and visitation.

In the next months
you will be monitored by a psychologist.

If I had stayed home,
this wouldn't happen now.

Oh, poor Frank.

All his problems are due to my drinking.
But what about him?

How can he
keep my children from me?

I guess that's enough for today.

Start with hands in prayerat your heart center.

Take a deep breath,
and raise your arms in a circle towards the sky.

Bend forward

for a half lift with a flat back,

put your hands on the ground
and step back into the Hound.

Breathe in and…

Feel your...

I just got
a new email from the psychologist.

She will schedule my interview.

- The passive aggressive toad!
- Abby.

I'm done.

- Is my daughter losing her children?
- No.

How should I handle the conversation?
without making everything worse?

If Abby couldn't keep up the facade,what should I do with the Toad?

First you probably should
stop saying "Toad".

- She's just doing her job.
- Okay. Say what I have to say.

It will just sound rehearsed.
Be calm, honest and yourself.

Because it went so well for Abby.

No. I think,
I choose a different strategy.

Escape.

I was like, “Mate, did you read
the capacity assessment at all?"

Sorry for the interruption,

but may I have a moment
alone with Frank?

I haven't seen my children
for over a week. 47

I am genuinely concerned
for the safety of our children

in your care.

It was a terrible night,
but it wasn't my fault.

It's never your fault.
We're done here.

From now on
we talk through our lawyers.

What...

- Marguerite.
- Harry.

I heard,
that you and Roderick have decided

to go their separate ways.
I'm sorry.

- Good morning, Harry!
- Phil. Good morning.

Excuse the delay.
Would you like something with your coffee?

- No thank you.- Ill be right there.

I thought,
you were happy with my work

in your last divorce?

Yes. Overjoyed.

But I read your son's interview
in Business in Vancouver.

It seems that Svensson and Svensson
going in a new direction now.

FINDING MYSELF
THROUGH MY VOICE

- Eleanor. Hello. Good to see you.
- You too!

Someone forgot their lunch.

How are you? Jerri has explained.

Frank is a huge asshole.

But on the bright side...

then she has a date tonight
with a handsome fireman. 72

Not mine.
Actually, I think I'll cancel.

- Why?
- I'm just not in the right place.

- But he's a fireman!
- Yes! Find the right place.

Daniel is asking for you.
Your appointment at 10 is here.

- Fireman!
- Fireman!

What can we help you with, Drew?

I will dispute
an illegal eviction.

I've lived somewhere for ages,

and now suddenly I stay
thrown out without notice.

Sorry, we do not take housing cases.

We practice exclusivelyfamily law.

It's a family affair.

My parents are trying
to throw me out of their basement.

How is that a postponement?

Are your parents asking you to
not just about moving?

At the worst possible time.

I have to finish my documentary.

I can't stop now
and find a losing job,

so I can afford rent.

I know how it sounds

but the rental market is insane.

How can anyone afford it
for the first and last month's rent

plus a deposit?

Vancouver is an expensive city.
97 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,160

I don't pay... rent.

- Good morning.
- Hello.

New client?

He is unhappy with his parents.
His case is dead before the start.

- Did he have the means?
- Yes.

The money from his parents to
to move. It feels unethical.

Your ethics are bankrupting us, Daniel.

We need all clients
to replace those who flee.

- Who?
- All that shit about soft law,

which you have spewed in the press,
gives people the wrong impression. 108

Daniel, I have updated
The HR system that you asked for.

Thank you, Jerry.

I stumbled upon something.

You won't like it.

Are you not educated
legal assistant?

It wasn't in your folder,
so I called the organization.

I have followed all the courses but...

- I have not passed the exam.
- Seriously?

I am your superior.
I have sent you to court.

You have participated in mediations,

I have asked you to
to provide clients with legal advice! 120

But you mustn't do any of that!
Not without the right title.

- Do you understand my problem?
- I am so sorry.

- I admit it to Harry.
- No!

Do not do that.

It's probably best
that we keep it between the three of us.

What do we do now?

Pass that exam...

as quickly as possible.

Yes.

Cecile.

You should find all reported
high value divorces,

which Phil Sterling has handled
the last ten years.

Yes.

Yes. I would like to.

MISS YOU BABY.

LOVE YOU MOST
137 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,120

Drew Sinclair
and his parents are here.

Don't waste time, Abby.
I can handle it.

Why?

Clive and Celeste
want their son out

so they can buy a smaller apartment
and sell their company.

- Not that they lack a reason.
- It is not enough.

Drew is in trouble.

- He cannot afford to live alone.
- They gave him 5,000 to move for.

- In this market? It's small change.
- He is lucky. They owe him nothing.

- He is their son!
- He's 40.

I'm so closeto finish my documentary.

- You said I had to stay until then.
- I know that, honey...

Celeste and I have always been supportive
Drew's filmmaker dream.

We sent him to film school,
bought a camera package and cutting system.

But he has worked
on the project for seven years.

That's how long Ken Burns was too
about his film about the Vietnam War.

Wasn't it a ten part miniseries?

This is my chance.
It has to be perfect.

Genius takes time, Mom.
You said that.

- We know there is no case.- We'll see.

My clients can choose,
who lives on their property.

The only outcome they can accept is

is that Drew is leaving
family home immediately.

See you in court then.

You heard her.
"See you in court", Dad.

- Are you coming?
- Drew only has his practice driving license.

He must not drive without us in the car.

Sorry about Abby's behavior in there.

- But we're on good terms, right?
- Yeah. Of course.

"See you in court"?

You resented that Frank is right about the matter.
But as long as you him, 169

Abby, he's a colleague.
One of us must be a professional.

How does a 40-year-old still live at home?

It's pitiful.

Its not the same,
and you know it.

And there are many adults,
who lives at home.

Or with their half-sister.

For cultural reasons
and huge student debt.

His parents have financed
his filmmaker dream.

Nothing wrong with that.

telling her
whose father sent her to Stanford.

And pays for her office rent.
181 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,800

is the only one you've worked for?

I have my own practice.

You might like to give your comb sickness
Frank the victory, but I do not.

- You just want to go to court against Frank.
- Uh, revealed.

If you want to feel better
taking his money,

so let's win, shall we?

Lucy, let's visit Drew's home.

- Dr. Valerie Powell is here.
- Who is it?

The toad.

What is Abigail like to work with?

She really did
his presence noted. 193

Abby has a talent for
to think outside the box.

For example?

She did a paternity suit
to a high-profile class action.

We will miss her when she
must return to personal injury.

In her employment here,

have you so suspected
drug or alcohol abuse?

I have no solid evidence for that.

- What did you say?
- I covered for you.

What do you mean?

I do not like
about avoiding the truth.

What is it that you had to bypass, Daniel?

I wasted an hour on your defenseinstead of making money,

so try to say thank you to…

...me.

And your client's outrageous behavior
in the case...

You just used "unheard of."

Maybe... "despicable?"

Yes.

Excellent.
"The despicable behavior of your client.."

Sir.?

- I usually take dictation.
- Winston spells much better,

and a legal assistant
have better things to do

such as retrieving the reports,
I asked for.

Phil Sterling's high profile
divorces from the last ten years.

Excellent, Cecile!

"THE BEST DOCUMENTARY."
220 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:06,720

What is it about?

The environment,
life and the human condition.

It's just a rough draft.

I do it all.

- Light, sound, editing.
- No film crew?

I prefer to work alone.
Other people are not like me.

That's probably why haircuts are
best of the creative process.

Did your parents get these made?

Yes. They are a bit flat,
but I don't want to hurt them.

It's footage for a commercial
to my parents' company.

We had creative disagreements,and it was never finished.

- And these are home videos?
- Yes.

I inherited my father's passion.
He always had his camera ready.

- Can I borrow them?
- Here you go.

Hello. I don't care
how angry you are

you can't live on coffee alone.

Sorry for the mess.

- Damn!
- Clive.

Speak nicely.

You have received a small tax refund.

Just sign here,
then I'll put it in for you.

Your mother is making her chicken pie
for dinner, then get up at 18 exactly.

Are you ordering your exam?
244 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,400

I'm not a stickler!

I do not understand it
You are not incompetent.

- Thanks.
- Why haven't you taken it?

I have. And dumped. Twice.

Trials scare me.
I'm just going backwards.

When my head calms down,
and i can breathe

time has passed.

- What is it?
- Our client's childhood.

Scan them to digital files,

- and review them.
- For what?

Everything unusual.

I can take half.
I'm bored. 257

Come on, Craig.

It's not like that, positive
strength training works.

But he is so talented!

Drew's parents
had trophies custom made for him.

Imagine his disappointment
after the documentary's debut,

and it won't win an Oscar.

It cannot fail,
when it is not finished.

They serve him head and bottom.

Pissing off is the worst,
you can do to a child.

Certainly convenient point of view.

You were only interesting at 19.

You and mom threw a pack of diapersafter me and said goodbye.

- And it went well.
- That can be debated.

- I taught you independence.
- You neglected us.

The coffee wasn't worth it.
Get that dog out of the kitchen.

Harry tells himself that his
neglect made us independent.

By that logic, we can claim,

that Clive and Celeste
are such extreme helicopter parents,

that Drew's growth was stunted.

- It never works.
- Consider it!

They haven't taught him how to survive.

- It's called "learned helplessness".
- Now he depends on them. 280

that concern children over 19,
who cannot fend for themselves.

- Child support for adults?
- Exact.

Look at you two
put heads together.

Foosball and trophies are not enough.
We are losing.

I don't give away
just Frank the win, Daniel.

- Lucy, are you meeting Drew?
- Fine.

- Good luck.
- Thanks.

- Where are you going?
- At a wine bar in Coal Harbour.

What?

Have you told Aidan,
that you are an alcoholic?

Not yet.

- Another beer?
- Yes please. 293

Reach...

What is it like to save people
from burning buildings?

I would love to impress you,
but honestly...

is most of the job
to sit at the station

and play cards and make gas.

It's not that exciting.

What is it like to be a lawyer?

You deal with people who suffer,

but feel
that the legal system can remove it.

Does it do it?

Rarely.

And you are new to the company?

When I searched the address,I didn't see your name on the website.

I have been there for nine months.

Why did you switch?

Long story.

Okay.

Where do you live, Aidan?

In the center.

- You?
- At my...

In the North Shore.

- Do your children go to school there?
- They go to school at their...

Where their father lives.

How long have you been divorced?

Pardon.

I'll be right back.

May I walk you to your car?

You do not have to.

It was nice to meet you.

I know...

it was only one date

and you owe me nothing
326 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,440

No! No.

It is not you.

That...

- It is me.
- Then it's definitely me.

So... Okay.

- What a good day.
- No, Aidan. Wait.

I didn't order a drink because...
I am a recovering alcoholic.

I was fired from the old company
for throwing up drunk in a courtroom.

I'm basically an outcast
among lawyers,

now I work for my estranged
father and my half brother who hates me.

I live in the North Shore,because I had to move back home,

after I was thrown out of my house.

I have temporarily
lost custody,

and I'm in the middle
in a terrible divorce,

but technically I'm still married.
So when it's not you but me…

VANCOUVER COUNTY
PROTECT BUILDING

- Well?
- I came home first

at two o'clock last night.

- Such!
- But it is probably a one-off event.

I divulged too much,
so I probably won't hear from him again.

He wants to go for a walk on the beach tomorrow.
348 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,280

Why don't you want to
move away from home, Drew?

It's not that I don't want to
I just can't afford it.

What place would you find
if money wasn't an issue?

A state-of-the-art mansion
with a huge cinema room,

which i get
when I sell my documentary.

- My parents are getting a wing.
- Sweet. Would you let them move in?

They deserve it.
My mother could get a sewing room.

It sounds like you two are close.

Despite what they are doing now?They are my best friends.

I know it sounds lame,

but they just are
interesting people.

Until you can afford your mansion,

- how about a place with roommates?
- I don't want to live with strangers.

Okay. Have you considered
to find a job?

I will not participate
in the rat race any longer.

- "Further"?
- I had a McJob for a period,

but it drained
my creative life force.

I took millions of orders,
and a customer complained about,

that I was rude,

i just don't knowwhat i have to say all day.

- Small talk can be difficult.
- But it does not matter.

I will definitely sell
my documentary for six figures.

- Can you do that?
- The feedback has been very good.

I showed them a draft,
and my father said

that it was the best documentary,
he has seen!

- Wow.
- Yes!

And that's why I don't understand
that they are doing this now.

I'm so close.

They would provide for me,
until it was finished,

and then they destroy it now?

It is cold-hearted.

Did you find anything on the tapes?
381 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,920

Define "normal".

- Can I drive on the beach?
- It's probably not such a good idea, friend.

- It's close, and we'll be together.
- You know the rules.

You must not leave the street
without an adult.

And you're going to have a nap soon, snotty.

Mother has made hot milk.

Lord jemini!

Stop right now!

- Drew, your swim goggles.
- I'm fine, mom!

You must protect your eyes.

Can you believe it?

They might as well
have kept him on a leash. 394

Only until I was five.

It all makes sense.
Drew suffers from intense social anxiety.

They were so overprotective,
that he did not learn basic skills.

- Can't he learn them now?
- It's not that simple.

- He has Peter Pan syndrome.
- Syndromes are good.

It is not recognized by the DSM yet,

but Drew is complete
dependent on his parents,

not only practical and financial,
but also emotionally and socially.

He doesn't function without them.

- This is good news for us.- Get me the times.

I'll get Drew
to collect the highlights.

- Hi, Abigail.
- Hello.

How would you describe
Abigail's mental state?

She is in top mental shape.
Sharp as a knife.

A consummate professional.

And outside of work?

What is your observation of Abigail
as a parent?

That she is... loving, patient,

generous, consistent, and she
have raised incredible children.

I can say without hesitation,
that Abigail is an excellent mother.

You had no contactwith Abigail for... 35 years.

- Is it correct?
- No.

Thirty-three.

Until six months ago?

- Nine.
- My mistake.

How often have you seen
Abigail interact

with his children during that period?

A number of times.

- Which number?
- I haven't spoken.

No, it's okay, Sofia.
I have nothing to say

I just wanted to hear your voice, Sof.
You can go now.

Love you too.

Tell Nico I'm waiting
on his move in the pun.

I've been working on it all night.

It takes foreverto refine the transitions

and create just the right pace.

I had bad time for the music!

It probably wasn't necessary.
but thanks for the effort.

Last question, Mr. Sinclair…

how do you describe
your relationship with your son?

Besides that he
has taken us to court,

is it really good.

Neither Celeste nor I
had a relationship with our parents.

"Children should be seen, not heard"
and all that.

But we wanted to do it right
and involve us in his life.

He has been the light of our lives.
441 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,120

that doesn't center on Drew.

Thanks. I have no more questions.

Lawyer?

Your Highness, I would like to
present video evidence.

- Mom, I'm fine.
- You must protect your eyes.

Drew! Danger! Your shoelace!

And first place goes
to Sharon Harvey!

Are you blind, woman?

Thanks, I think we got it.

Sir. Sinclair what you say
is clearly true.

You and Mrs. Sinclair
are committed parents,

who gave their sonthe best childhood imaginable.

- Yes.
- But...

is it possible... in your attempt

to avoid the same mistakes
as your parents, that you committed new?

Are you saying we are guilty of
to love our son too much?

I say that in the attempt
to protect your son

against pain or failure,
you have robbed him

teachable moments,
as it requires to function as an adult.

Drew now suffers from crippling anxiety.

It has affected his ability
to create relationships, work...

take care of one self.
464 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:59,040

and therefore he now has
need your support

- to survive.
- Protest.

- It's foolish.
- Taken as a result.

I'm ready for a ruling.

Although I have compassion
for Drew's challenges,

is there a limit to
what the upbringing can be blamed on.

I highly recommend
professional therapy,

but I can just as easily force that
you to which I can compel them

to let their 40-year-old son
live their home mother's will. 474

Frankly.

Can we appeal?

Technically yes,
but you can't afford it.

- Pro bono?
- Uh no.

Good luck with everything.

There must be more we can do.

How about finding a job,
that doesn't stress you out?

- An animal shelter?
- I'm afraid of dogs.

- Fill supermarket shelves?
- I'm a documentary filmmaker!

You were really good at it
putting the pieces together,

and you did it with a deadline.

Why don't you do that?
You have talent.

I can emailsome production companies.

Think a little less.

End the jacuzzi video,
and use it to get more work.

And abandon my documentary?

Drew.

It's about time.

Now grow up.

Harry.

Hi Marguerite.

Hear...

regarding Phil Sterling.
I hope you don't hold a grudge.

On the contrary. I think,
you are wise to be careful.

You found enough
"Fazal against Van Emst" interesting

with the parallels to the financial broker
in that case.

Well, I have to meet a client,
but nice to see you as always. 502

- Why is that, though?
- You can do it all!

I am not ready.

I contacted the organization
and asked for extra time for the exam.

They are happy to accommodate
your special learning needs.

I don't have special needs!

So don't waste your time.

- Hello again.
- Hello.

Oh, Abigail?

I have tried
to get hold of your mother sometimes.

I don't know if she gets the messages.

Would you ask her to call?

- Fine.
- Thanks.

I've seen quite a few
of Abby's interactions with her children, 516

Do you feel that Abigail's alcoholism
has affected Sofia and Nico?

It certainly has in the past,

but that would be irresponsible
to say now.

Have you seen Abigail neglect her children

- because of her abuse?
- No. Never.

And as I said,
We have been living together for months.

I understand,
why you should ask the questions,

but i know you never
would stigmatize the disease.

No, of course not.

Especially because she has worn like this
to get well. 527

Yes, and we both know
that it is a formality.

Abby is more than
a "good enough" parent.

Pull the arm back like this.
And then, just before you drop the rock,

you flick your wrist quickly,
so it rotates,

and then it should... slip.

Oh boy!
Very impressive demonstration.

It had to slip!

That stone could not
find the seabed quickly enough.

The stone was not flat enough.

Artists never blame the tool.

I need a better stone!

That is my son.
540 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:22,840

Hello?

You sure didn't know
that you can leave a message after the tone.

I COULDN'T HEAR YOU.
CALL BACK!

PARDON. POCKET CALL.

Are you okay?

Yes.

No you are not.

I am tired of...

I am just tired.

- I can help with that.
- I do not think...

What are you doing? Stop!

Ms. Bianchi, wait!

- Drew, we're not appealing the case.
- No, it's not.

My parents
has given me a cease and desist order.

- What? Why?
- I posted a video online,

and it has already gone viral.
557 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:48,920

welcome to the family.

- Cut!
- What?

Welcome to
The Belcarra Jacuzzi family.

Damn! For God's sake!
Okay, okay, film on!

- Welcome to the family!
- Cut! Your mouse is out of the house.

. Stupid...

- Welcome to the family...
- No!

- Sheep!
- Hell no!...!

Sheep!

What?

I stand on my mark then.

The pride of ownership
your new Belcarra jealousy...

Why so and so!

I think we got it.

It got 100,000 viewsovernight.

We will be laughed at
throughout the jacuzzi industry.

It must be removed!

Oops!

You asked Drew to stand on his own two feet,

and now that he does,
will you take his legs from him?

The video will break us.

How are you so sure?

We sold then
a couple of jacuzzis this morning.

- The phones have been red hot!
- It does not surprise me.

You are actually likable in the video
in an unusual way.

See?

You just need a new slogan.

“Belcarra…

the best jacuzzis
in the lower mainland, for so and so." 587

- Yes, that sounds good.
- Everyone wins.

You sell several jacuzzis,
and Drew trends.

And it proves what you already know.
Your son really has talent.

- Have you started without me?
- Oops.

We are not withdrawing the cease and desist order...

Clive and I sleep on it.
Let's talk again tomorrow.

Now that you have purchased
your new jacuzzi...

welcome to the family.

- Cut!
- What?

Sir. Svensson?
A Mrs. Bogen will talk to you. 598

- Phil Sterling whined.
- He certainly did.

The broker's ex did not get
a sniff of his commission.

Will it happen to me too?

Not if I have anything to say.

Can we start talking about strategy?

They have been there for almost an hour.

It's bad, isn't it?

- Not necessarily.
- So it's good?

I didn't say that either.

I am happy for,
that Joanne does not avoid her.

- She just has to be herself.- It takes three martinis.

Try to relax.

I have signed
a lease today.

Do you have?

I began
to feel a bit like Drew.

I can see that.

- I thought you would be happy.
- I am.

But I must say
that it has been wonderful.

- To get to know eachother?
- A buffer between me and mother.

And Abby is a great mom.

Can't you write it down?

How old was Abigail
when you and her father got divorced?

- Seven.
- Yes it's true.

And I understandthat she immediately lost contact

to his father from that time?

How did Abigail react
on his father's sudden departure?

She was fine with it.

Believe me,
she never wanted to see him again.

- Why?
- Because he was a liar,

cheating asshole and Abby knew it.

She grew up with no secrets.
Honesty is my policy.

Is it Abigail's policy
with Sofia and Nico?

No.

- But I don't mean it badly.
- How so?

One time Nico FaceTimed me,

because he wanted to come after school,
635 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,440

and i said
that she should tell the truth...

that Nico wasn't allowed,

because his father didn't want it.
Just the facts.

I don't know why she always
covers the fool...

But...

I assume,

that he should not feel…

That he had to choose a side.

- Hi, Cordelia.
- Frank and Louisa will meet. Today.

- Will I get the authority back?
- I hope so. The meeting room. At 17.

Hi Drew.

- Are your parents here?
- Nothing. 648

They have withdrawn the application
about the cease and desist order back.

And they let me stay in the basement...

- for another six months.
- That sounds fair.

Yes, but I have to pay rent.

Also fair.

$200 a month.

I also have to take my driving test
and adult training.

And I have offered to cook
once a week.

It won't be pretty, but...

- That's something.
- Good, Drew.

I posted the video thanks to you.

I actually get some options.
All advertising. 661

NICO HAS PLAYED A WORD!
YOUR TRIP!

Good luck.

- Drew just paid his bill.
- Who?

The client we brought back?

- It took quite a few hours.
- Lovely.

Anything else?

No, I just wanted to say that.

Daniel, you don't get a trophy
to do your job.

- Here comes the trouble.
- Hello Daniel.

I'm looking forward to some revenge
on the pitch today.

Yes, we'll see.

And then you have to tell me
how you managed 676

So after you stole her from me?

- Free play.
- Don't cheat a cheater.

- Wrist cramps for you.
- No.

You think you beat me
but you never do.

- I took the test!
- And?

- Right in the closet.
- Such!

I used maybe
a few extra minutes,

- so thank you, Winston.
- Anytime.

- Jerry! I passed the test.
- Of course you did.

Sir. Bianchi believes
that it is important for the children

to see their mother.

For that reason
689 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,240

But under certain conditions.

Alcohol in the house must be locked up,
where the children do not have access.

Fine. Next.

And the children are no longer allowed
have contact with their grandmother.

- What? Why?
- You know that, Abby.

- It wasn't her fault.
- I don't trust her.

I live in her house!

My client's housing situation
makes it almost impossible

but that's the point, right?

We understand,
that there are logistical challenges, 700

If you want to resume being together,
are these the conditions.
