Previously...

My father, Carl Reddick,

stood with Doctor King,
stood on the bridge at Selma.

- Your daddy was a fighter.
- Yeah. It's the end of an era.

I'm closing "Assholes to Avoid."
So, thanks a lot.

- You're welcome.
- You know why this happened ?

Because we were adding one of your
litigation financiers to our list,

Jerry Warshofsky. Asshole to avoid.

If you want my help, leave
a flower pot in your office window,

and I'll meet you
at your parking space.

- Were you followed ?
- No. So what do I need to do ?

Follow the women. The affairs,
the prostitutes, the love child.

Follow the women.

I'm happy.

Am I ridiculous ?

You like narrating your life.

You know, there are psychological
studies that say when people are happy,

they look desperately for things
to make them unhappy.

But that won't happen to us, will it ?

No, no. Kurt. Tell me.

Everything's gonna be all right.

Everything's gonna be all right.

But mean it.

Everything's gonna be all right.
What could go wrong ?

THE GOOD FIGHT
Season 3, episode 1

Our firm started
with one man, Carl Reddick.

He was our founder,

but he was also the heart and soul
of this firm for fifteen years.

Could you say "civil rights icon ?"

Same thing, but with
"civil rights icon."

Sure.

Our firm started with one man,
Carl Reddick, the civil rights icon.

I read about Carl Reddick
in the history books in school.

But to meet him here in the flesh,
it was a highlight of my life.

When my dad died, I could think
of no better way to honor his life

than by taking over
his partnership here.

I was Mister Reddick's secretary
for fifteen years.

Can you say "Carl"
when you talk about him ?

- I never called him Carl.
- It just helps with the interview.

- Was he a good boss ?
- Yes.

We just want the video to give
some sense of the man.

If you could talk a little bit
about working with him.

Like, what was a typical day like ?

What's the first thing he would say
when you got there in the morning ?

I...

Who are you ?

- Who are we ?
- Deep down.

Who are you ?

A mid-sized Chicago law firm.

No. Who are you really ?
The website, it's fine.

The video of Carl Reddick
will help. It adds media.

But what do you want to say ?
Tell us your story.

Well, we... We are growing.
We have hired 35 new attorneys.

- We bought another floor.
- Yes.

But other law firms are growing.
What makes you different ?

You're African-American.
That's your brand. That's your story.

We don't wanna be sold
as an African-American law firm.

But diversity is in right now.
Black Panther, Black-ish.

And diversity is something
that you have in sp...

... abundance.

- Come in.
- Do you have a second, Adrian ?

Yes, I do. Excuse me.

God. I can't believe
we're paying for this guy.

We need to show you something
from the Reddick interviews.

Okay. What's up ?

We were doing an interview
with his secretary.

We think you should see it.

He said he was tired.

He had to give a speech that night.

And I could help.

He asked me to come behind his desk.
He had his pants unzipped.

He wanted me to touch him. He said
it was because of the pressure.

And only I...

Only I could help.

There was more,
but we didn't record it.

Jesus Christ.

She said there was forced copulation
the whole time she was here.

Not now. Please, please.

- He forced her for fifteen years ?
- That's what she said.

Why would Cynthia stay
for fifteen years ?

- Seriously ?
- Marissa.

- No, seriously ?
- I'm trying to figure this out.

Why would she even agree
to an interview ?

She was planning to say
nice things about him.

But then when we started
asking questions...

She knew wanted something
glowing. And it bothered her.

All right. Anybody else there
when you interviewed her ?

No.

I need to ask you guys not to say
anything to anybody about this.

So we can cover it up ?

Marissa, I don't have the luxury
right now of being outraged.

But that doesn't mean I'm not
outraged. You understand ?

Yes, sir.

Are you going to tell her ?

I don't know. I don't know.

Hey, no. I'll take that.

- I'd give him a break.
- Why ?

Because half of our business comes
from the Reddick name.

If it suddenly becomes as toxic
as Weinstein's, our firm is in trouble.

Well, then maybe it should be.

- Diane. Adrian. How far off are you ?
- About an hour. Why ? What's wrong ?

I just need your help
with something... sensitive.

- You stop by my office and we'll talk.
- Is everything all right ?

Yeah. We'll talk.

Why'd you take
the three-seventy-five ?

What ?

Why did you take the three-seventy-five
to the shooting range ?

- You hate the Hawkeye.
- Thought I'd try it out.

Who did you go shooting with
last night ?

What ?

Who did you go to the firing range
with last night ?

No one. Why ?

Hey, Captain Video. What,
are you handling plutonium today ?

No. I... It's a scratched cornea.

Yeah. I mean, it should be fine.
It's just, you know, it's lights.

They make me tear up and cry.
So I got to wear these for a week.

Well, I wouldn't wear those
when you meet with the partners.

- Am I meeting with the partners ?
- Julius is looking for you.

Why ?

I don't know. We're spinning out of
control these days. Oh, there he is.

Mister Cain, you needed
to talk to me ?

Yes. A quick thing. We're redoing the
website. As a part of the rebranding,

we are adding associate
and partner photos and bios.

Great. That sounds great.

Except there is a chance we won't
be using your bio and photo.

- Mine ? Why ?
- Don't take it as a criticism.

You're doing a great job. We just think
that it's best for the time being,

until we can establish
the new brand.

Okay.

It's just... It's not about you, Maia.
You are doing a great job.

It's about the last name, "Rindell."
And the scandal with your father.

- I'm fine. I'm fine, I understand.
- I just don't want you to be upset.

- No, sir, this is all medical.
- Okay.

- Lucca ?
- Yeah.

Do you want me
to come back later ?

No. What is it ?

Could you talk to Maia ? I think she's
really upset about the website.

Sure.

So are we clairvoyant now ?

I had the guard call up when you
arrived. Adrian wants to see you.

Yeah. What's the topic ?

I've been told I speak too much, so
I won't handle that. And Kurt called.

Kurt ? Why ?

Why did he call ? I don't know.
Maybe just to say hello ?

Diane.

- So we have a problem with Carl.
- Carl ?

Reddick. Yeah. Yeah.
I know, he's dead.

But there's an issue that's come up
that might cause the firm a problem.

- And I need a woman's help.
- Well, why not Liz's ?

Not Liz.

He asked me to come
behind his desk.

It's Carl's secretary
from 1999 to 2014.

It was before you got here.

- We need to talk to her.
- Why ?

An NDA ?

THE GOOD FIGHT SHORT

If there's a secret and you
want someone to keep it kept,

What kind of contract is the carpet
under which it's swept ?

NDA, well, you don't say.

Financial details, same for stories
fed with breakfast food.

Just list the things that if they
talk about, then they get sued.

NDA, well, you don't say.

You can't be friends with NDA.

It's like a lawyer looking
over your shoulder,

Always making sure that you never tell.

NDA.

I think they're maybe
all that's in a red folder

but I didn't do
my research that well.

NDA, well, you don't say.

Let's try to count all the red folders
and it's sure to say,

No one who cares, just pay attention,
put your phone away.

NDA, well, you don't say.

You can't 'cause there's an NDA.

Just so you know, Cynthia,
I knew nothing about this.

I know. I wasn't trying
to make a fuss.

Yeah.

Cynthia, we feel badly about what
happened and we wanna make it right.

We have some plans to impose a sexual
harassment course at the firm.

Yes. They had those
when I was there too.

All of the associates went,
but not the partners.

- That will change.
- We will make sure of it.

Is there anything else that we can do
to make this right ?

Would you excuse me ?

Cynthia, is there
somebody else here ?

My daughter.

This is not what I expected.

This house, it reminds me
of my auntie's house.

I thought she'd be
a lot more combative.

We might not need the NDA.

They're gonna have you sign a contract
that says you can't say anything.

No, they just want to make
the firm better.

He raped you, mom. And all you want
is some bullshit class.

I don't like that language, Monique.
And none of this is your business.

It is my business. In fact...

You know, he promised my mom
something he never paid.

- Monique.
- They're lawyers, mom.

- That's all they understand. Money.
- My apologies. This is my daughter.

Hi. What did he promise you,
Cynthia ?

- Did you ever work with my mom ?
- Did I ? No.

Then don't call her Cynthia.
Call her Miss Cromley.

Quite right. What did Mister Reddick
promise you, Miss Cromley ?

If you don't tell her, mom, I will.

Hey. Where is everybody ?

I have no idea. I'm just
staying on the sidelines today.

This man... This man has been lying
the whole time.

Wait. Hold up. Hold up.

Please. Let's just get it quieter
in here. He promised her a pension.

He promised Cynthia a pension.

He promised her something this firm
can't afford, and then he died.

What was he thinking ?

Clearly he wasn't thinking with his
brain. He was thinking with his...

All right. I'm not interested
in litigating the past.

- What happened, happened, and...
- But did it ? Do we believe her ?

Are you kidding me ?

I know we're all supposed
to believe the women.

But Reddick is a target.
He's a black icon.

People wanna devalue our civil rights
past in order to make some...

Has she even agreed to sign an NDA ?

We didn't wanna bring it up until
we could address the costs.

I think we're looking at 80.000
to 750.000 dollars

for one act of forced oral copulation.

I think we should low-ball her.
Ask Kirby.

Excuse me ! Excuse me. We have
another option. Let it come out.

Carl Reddick was a complicated man.

People who change history
and do good are not all good.

This firm could lose
forty percent of its clients.

Yeah. But we didn't do anything wrong.
We didn't cover anything up.

But if we pay someone off,
it becomes our scandal.

- Do we know we haven't paid already ?
- What do you mean ?

I looked at Reddick's contract.

In 2012 we made a deal to cover all
of his sexual harassment lawsuits.

- Who voted on this ?
- Adrian, did you know about this ?

It was standard CEO protection.

We need to deal with the problem
at hand, Carl's secretary.

Now, we can offer 30.000 dollars.

- Really ? I mean, come on.
- Yeah.

- Wendy.
- Wendy. Hey. You need the bathroom ?

I don't think I should be
the one taking notes here.

Why not ?

Mister Reddick did the same to me.

Hey. What are you doing ?

Figuring out whether to watch a German
series about serial killers

or a Scandinavian series
about serial killers.

What's my bag doing out ?

- I was helping you pack.
- For ?

Well, I saw airplane tickets
on our account.

Right, safari, just a few days.

- A few days on a safari ?
- Yes. Why ?

I don't shoot anymore.
So, you're not going with me.

What's wrong, Diane ?

- Work has me thinking.
- About ?

Men, and what they do.

What do they do ?

I love you, Kurt. But I don't think
you're being honest with me.

And I hate being the wife
who pretends not to care,

the cool wife who overlooks lies.

What am I lying about ?

Who did you go shooting with
last night ?

- No one.
- My God, you're such a bad liar.

I mean, in many ways,
it's sweet. Why even try ?

It's no one.

And it's no one with whom
you are going on a safari ?

I'm being paid. I don't have a job.

I'm hiring myself out
to shoot with hunters.

The same hunters who borrowed
your jacket last night ?

I found blonde hairs on your jacket.
Believe me, I wasn't looking for them.

They, they were just there.

And it reeked of cologne or mousse
or something.

And I know you would rather die
than use girly products,

so why don't you just tell me ?

It's not what you think.

Well, if that were the case,
you wouldn't be lying.

I know you'll be angry.

- Is it her again ? Holly ?
- Westfall ? No.

Well, then which of your
Fox blondes is it ?

- It's not a woman.
- I don't believe you.

Who were you shooting with ?

Eric Trump and Donald Junior.

You went shooting
with Eric and Don ?

Yes.

And that's whose hair it is ?

Eric forgot his jacket
so I lent him mine.

- You call him Eric ?
- Oh, God.

- I'm just asking the question.
- They pay me, Diane. It's money.

- I'm not doing it because I like them.
- But you're shooting with them ?

- I'm being paid. I'm working.
- Oh, my God.

And that's who you're going
on a safari with this weekend ?

That's who I'm being paid
to go on a safari with.

This is not politics.
It's work. It's not a woman.

I'm not cheating on you. It's two
hunters and their entourages.

- Diane, you're scaring me.
- No. You're right.

You have to do what you have to do,
and I have to do what I do.

What do you do ?

Something that I fucking should
have done nine months ago.

I don't have much time.
I'm shooting.

- I need to meet with them.
- Who ?

The other eight women
like you, the ND-Eights.

- They won't meet with you.
- Then I need you to come forward.

We talked about this. I can't.

Listen, I'm sick of this chicken shit
stuff. We need to fight.

No. You're saying I need to fight.
Trump won't sue you. He'll sue me.

And I will defend you with
every breath that it takes.

Defend me with what ?
I signed an NDA.

A faulty NDA. I looked at the
contract. There is a defect. Listen.

"Agreement is made between
the Receiving Party, you,"

"and the Disclosing Party, him."
But then further down it says,

"The receiving actress will refrain
from disclosing details"

"of any meetings, interactions,
and/or conversations."

I don't understand.
Why is that a defect ?

- Who's the "Receiving Actress" ?
- Me.

No. According to this contract,
you are the "Receiving Party."

"Receiving Actress" isn't defined
anywhere in this contract.

- You can say anything you want.
- It can't be that easy.

It's not. They'll sue. We'll argue.
That's the way the law works.

It doesn't matter what we do.
Stormy Daniels came out.

Karen McDougal came out.
People have moved on.

Yes. But you say that he paid for your
abortion. That is a huge difference.

That will undercut his support from the
religious right. We can beat this NDA.

Why now and not a year ago ?

Because, now it's personal.
But I need your help.

Let me think about it.

I thought it might be because
of something I wore.

But even the next day, he asked me
to come into his office.

He said he was tired.

He had to give a speech
that night and I could help.

He asked me to come behind his desk.
He had his pants unzipped.

He wanted me to touch him. He said
it was because of the pressure.

And only I...

Only I could help.

I didn't want you to have
to deal with that.

But it's gotten bigger.

- When was this ?
- Yesterday.

- She agreed to a meeting.
- No.

When did it happen ?

She started with Carl in 1999,
so it may have started then.

He always said he had to work late.

Too many injustices, too many...

God damn him.

Liz, I'm really sorry.

- Did you know ?
- No.

Even when we were
married and I would call

to talk to him and you would say
that he was in a meeting ?

Because he was in a meeting.

But you asked how my parents were
doing the first year we were married.

- I remember you asked, why ?
- I don't know. I just asked.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, Liz.

I could always accept it,
the way he treated mom,

the way he treated us because
we were sharing him with the world.

I thought he was here fighting,
but he was just here...

Come on. Come on.

I want you to go home.
We've got this. Okay ?

- You put in the glass walls.
- What ?

- The offices, why did you do that ?
- What do you mean ?

- You knew.
- No, no.

You were trying to stop him
from fucking around.

- No.
- Yes. You knew.

And it was the year before you agreed
to settle any harassment claims.

Yes. That was boilerplate.

I remember dad complaining
about it at the time,

about the glass walls,
about the lack of privacy.

You gotta stop this. It was
a design choice, Liz. That's all.

So what are we doing ?
We paying her off ?

I don't know, Liz. That's...
We're discussing.

That's where you all were
last night, "discussing."

Liz, Liz, please. Go home.
We got this.

I'm a partner. Bring me up to speed.
Let's go.

Don't look to Adrian.
Look to me.

- We're talking amounts.
- Good. Let's hear it.

We're...

Well, Wendy was here for most
of the conversation about pay-outs.

And we were talking about as high
as 750.000 dollars.

- Wait. Wendy ?
- The stenographer.

So we think we can pay off Cynthia
for eighty thousand dollars.

That is the equivalent
of her prorated pension.

And then maybe go as high
as 100.000 dollars for Wendy.

- My dad raped the stenographer ?
- Yes.

Okay.

- I'll make the deal with Cynthia.
- Liz, let us do it.

No, I will do it.

- Jay ?
- Yup.

Never mind.

- Marissa ?
- Yes, Miss Reddick.

You know what's going on here
about my father raping secretaries ?

Yes.

All right. I want you to find out
if there are any more.

Any more...

Women that he's raped, in the firm,
in the world.

I wanna know everything,
so don't bury it.

And you don't go to anybody else first.
You come to me. Okay ?

Okay.

Thank you, Lucca,
for giving us the time.

If this is about my maternity leave,
I know I'm behind on billable hours.

- No. Actually, it's something else.
- Can we get you anything ?

- Water or anything ?
- No, I'm all right. What's wrong ?

- What do you mean ?
- It feels like I'm about to be fired.

No. In fact,
consider this a promotion.

We've been looking for somebody
to take over divorce law.

We don't have a lot of cases, but
we're trying to build the department.

- I thought you hired Bruce Fischer.
- We did, there was an issue.

- Harassment issues at his last firm.
- And that's a problem these days ?

We want a woman in the position.

- A month ago, you wanted a man.
- We changed our minds.

Well, I'm on the Leland suit.
It's a full load, so...

Yeah. You'd have to drop that.
You really should consider this, Lucca.

Diane ? Was that an invitation
or a demand ?

Well, that's up to you.

Divorce is a dead end here.
No one takes it seriously.

Well then, do it temporarily
and see if you like it.

- Hey, Maia.
- Mister Boseman. Hi, sir. Hello.

I heard you were upset
about the website.

I... no, sir. No. It's just that
I have a scratched cornea...

- No. Look...
- It is sensitive to light.

Know that this is not a reflection
of how we feel about you.

- It's a branding thing. Don't worry.
- I'm not worried.

- You keep up the good work.
- I will.

- What are you looking at ?
- My arm.

Your arm ? What's that mean ?

I was in this group photo.
And they... cropped me out.

I'm sure that wasn't intentional.
It's a nice arm.

Enough people have told me
not to be bothered by this.

- I'm starting to get bothered by this.
- Don't cry.

I'm a third-year associate and they are
treating me like I was hired yesterday.

It's the curse of short people.

We were born in the volcano
of Vulcan

as a powerful army
to control the earth,

but Vulcan blessed and cursed us
with one unfortunate attribute.

For all time, we are to be overlooked.

Why do you think I talk so loud and
make jokes out of being blunt ?

Why ?

Because it allows me to control
people without them thinking

they're being controlled. It's Jedi
mind shit. You can do the same.

- Okay. How ?
- Your voice.

You have to make it louder
but without cracking.

Say, "These aren't the briefs
you're looking for."

Do you think I'm joking ? Fucking
say it, but say it loud and strong.

And don't let your voice crack.

These aren't the briefs
you're looking for.

- No. Come on.
- No ?

- Come on.
- No.

Okay. "These aren't the briefs
you're looking for." Say it.

- Give me something else.
- No ! Fucking say it !

Yes, I'm swearing.

These aren't the briefs
you're looking for.

You're straining your voice.
Make it loud, but don't strain. Go.

These aren't the briefs
you're looking for !

Better.

No. Don't wash your hands,
tall lady. Get the fuck out !

- Okay. This is my gift to you, Maia.
- What ?

These are cool.

And if you don't use them correctly,
I'm taking them back.

And give me these. Jesus Christ.

- How's that ?
- Good. Now make us proud.

- Do I know you ?
- No.

I'm Roger.

- What's your name ?
- Maia.

It's nice to meet you, Maia.

I'm working at your firm
temporarily.

- Wanna grab a drink tonight ?
- No.

- Do you know who I am ?
- Yes.

Then I think we should talk.

Do you remember me ?
When I would come in the office ?

Yes. Do you remember me ?

Yeah.

- Were you at the funeral ?
- Yes, at the back.

Do you remember my mom ?

Yes.

Did he ever talk about her ?

No.

They want you to sign
a non-disclosure agreement.

My daughter doesn't want me to.

But they're willing to pay
what you were promised.

I mean, you should take
what you deserve.

Your father wasn't a bad man.

I don't understand how you can feel
that way after everything that he did.

My life has never gone
the way I thought.

As I get older, I have more sympathy
for other people.

They don't always express love
the way they should.

I have nothing for my father now.
Nothing.

- Hi. Missus Cromley ?
- Miss.

I'm sorry. Your daughter called me.
I'm Naomi Nivola, a reporter with NSW.

Yes ?

And I understand there might be
some issues at the workplace

involving sexual coercion.

I'm sorry.
Have I interrupted something ?

- Naomi Nivola ?
- Yup. She's with NSW now.

So they have it ?
The forced copulation ?

We don't know that. Cynthia's daughter
only told the reporter

to confront us at her mom's house.
She didn't tell her anything else.

If this report goes public,
we're suddenly Weinstein.

- It'll close our doors.
- Okay. Okay. I'll talk to Naomi.

- I'll find out what she knows.
- You ? No.

- Why not ?
- Because I think you know why not.

- You have your own issues there.
- With who, the secretary ?

No, no, no. Naomi was a student in
one of Adrian's law classes. It's a...

There's a whole history there.
Jay, you do it.

Let's find out what Naomi knows. And
I will settle with the stenographer.

- Should I do it ?
- No, I will do it.

Maia, can you...

Yeah. What do you need ?

Nothing. Forget it.

I don't understand.

We're offering you ninety thousand.

- For ?
- For your cooperation.

I... No.

- We can't offer more.
- I know. I'm not asking for more.

- Then what are you asking for ?
- Nothing.

I would never tell anyone
about Mister Reddick. Ever.

There are so many people who want
to destroy men, black men.

I won't be a part of it. I'll never be
a part of it. Not at this firm.

- Are you sure ?
- Yes.

Is there anything else you need,
Miss Reddick ?

So they sent their investigator ?

Just wanna make sure
you have all the facts.

Yes, because Reddick-Boseman really
want me to have all of the facts.

We wanna explain our side.

Go ahead.

You ask me six questions
off the record,

if you like what I say,
then record them, okay ?

Cynthia Cromley
worked at your firm ?

Yes.

- Would you like to elaborate ?
- No.

- That was not one of my questions.
- Actually, it was.

Okay. Here we go.

Were you at Miss Cromley's house
today to get her to sign an NDA ?

- We were discussing issues with her.
- I see.

And were you discussing the issue

of her having sexual relations
with Adrian Boseman ?

- She thinks it's you.
- Me ? With Cynthia ?

- Yes.
- But that's great.

- We need to arrange an interview.
- Liz, Naomi is biased against me.

Yes, but now you can
answer honestly

that there is nothing between
my father's secretary and you.

That's the most honest
way to get out of this.

She doesn't think we have
any other Me Too problems ?

- None she mentioned.
- Great. Then arrange the interview.

Kurt. You're home earlier
than I thought.

Last-minute change
of plans. Bad weather.

Oh, no. Poor Eric and Don.

You mean they spent all that money
and their trip was ruined ?

- We're going again in a month.
- How exciting.

- They can finally bag that giraffe.
- I'm gonna take a shower.

No, no. Come on. Come on.
A little hug please.

- What's wrong ?
- Nothing.

- No. Something's wrong. What ?
- Nothing.

- Diane Lockhart.
- I can't do this.

- Tara ?
- I can't break the NDA.

- Tara, can I call you back ?
- No, I'm sorry.

I know you found a loophole in the NDA,
but they will rip me apart.

I can't do it.

Tara, please, just think about this
overnight and I'll call you back.

No, I'm sorry. Goodbye.

- Oh, my God. Kurt, your shoulder !
- It's nothing.

Are you kidding ? Look at that !
Hey, you can barely get your shirt off.

- It looks worse than it is.
- How... Did you go to a doctor ?

Yes. Yes. I'm supposed
to put this ointment on it.

Oh, my God, my poor husband.
What have they done to you ?

That's why they delayed
that trip. They shot you.

It's just buckshot.

- Which one did it ?
- Okay. Diane...

What ? Tell me. I wanna know.
Don Junior ?

- Eric ? Which one ?
- I can do the ointment.

No, you can't. Which one shot you ?

- It's not important.
- It is to me.

Oh, my God, you signed an NDA ?
You can't say ?

You can't tell your own wife
what happened to you ?

God.

Mister Boseman, thanks for doing this.
And it's good to see you again.

And you, Naomi.

So I'm gonna record this unless
Mister DiPersia has any issues.

- Do your worst.
- Don't tempt me.

So, did Adrian tell you he was
my teacher in school ?

- I heard. With Liz, right ?
- Yes. With Liz.

- Do we need to get out of here ?
- No.

I go on in twenty minutes.
So, Mister Boseman...

Miss Nivola.

Did your firm ask Cynthia Cromley
to sign an NDA ?

No.

Is it in negotiations for Miss Cromley
to sign an NDA ?

No.

This isn't one of those lawyerly
"meanings of 'is,' is" answers.

I told you we have nothing to hide.

Did you know Miss Cromley
has refused to speak to me ?

- I did not know that.
- Is it because of the NDA ?

It is not.

Did you have sexual relations
with Miss Cromley ?

- Did you sexually harass Cromley ?
- No.

And if I asked the lawyers
at your firm ?

- You will get the same answer.
- See, I told you there was no story.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Okay. Just one more thing.

Ah, the Columbo moment.

Miss Cromley was a side-bar
to the real story.

So what's the real story ?

Did your firm get paid off
by these two litigation financiers

to shutdown a Me Too site
called "Assholes to Avoid ?"

The footman to the king.

I am married
to the footman to the king.

And we don't even remember him.

That's the worst thing.

The most important person in my life
and he's an afterthought.

He's not even that.
He's a joke to us.

He's the caddy we left behind.

The hunter we laughed
at when we accidentally shot.

What has happened to men ?

Where did the real guys go ?

Why do we now have
these snide little creatures

with slicked-back hair and cologne ?

What happened to Paul Newman
and Burt Lancaster ?

What happened to men who
were slow to anger and responsible,

and who didn't cry
like whiny little bitches ?

When did Trump and Kavanaugh
become our idea of an aggrieved man,

quivering lips blaming everyone
but themselves ?

You're not fit to kiss
my husband's feet.

A truthful man, uncomplaining,
never passing the buck,

never punching unless he's punched.

When did he become the exception ?

God, I hate you.
I don't believe in hell,

but sometimes I wish
people like you ended up there,

or I tell myself you're really unhappy
in all your gilded happiness.

Oh, I'm happy. So happy.

Tremendously happy. Bigly happy.

Everybody says I'm happy.
I'm the happiest.

- Not if I leak the abortion.
- What ?

- The abortion.
- Excuse me ?

Tara's abortion. What if I leak it ?

That's not me.

Well, but it'll undercut your support
from right-wing Christians.

You wouldn't do that.
It's covered by an NDA.

I'm not Tara's attorney.
What do I care ?

But she told you in confidence.
Would you really be that shitty ?

Hey, I learned from the best.

Oh, Joey Ramone.

Your grandmother threw her panties
to him at the Whiskey-A-Go-Go in '94,

her black crotchless panties.

That's right,
and she never saw them again.

Okay. Sorry. I'm back.
Are you still there ?

- Hello ?
- Yes. I'm sorry. No, I'm here.

Look, the important thing is
that you get everything you deserve.

Everything.
And that's the way men are.

That's why you need the best.
There she is.

Yeah. Slept three hours.
Had four poops.

- Any crawling ?
- Not yet. And Colin called from D.C.

Sang Bruce Springsteen to him over
the phone. It was so sweet.

I Instagrammed it. Anyway,
men will tell you that they care.

They'll pretend but they don't.

That is why you have got to find
the best like Lucca. She's a killer.

Francesca ? What's going on ?
Who is that ?

Hold on. She's asking who it is.
Missus Seymour-Broderick.

My Seymour-Broderick ?

Yeah. She's asking
about her divorce.

Francesca, that's a work call.
You can't just...

Hi, Missus Seymour.
How are you ? She hung up.

Yes, she said she's gonna call you
tomorrow.

I'm not sure why you keep telling her
how temporary you are.

You are the perfect divorce lawyer.
Women need someone like you.

The men lawyers,
they don't take them seriously.

Francesca. We need to talk
about some boundaries.

I have to leave. Bye.

Yup. That's your grandma.

Assholes... Okay. I don't remember
the case at all.

Wait, wait. What was
this case again ?

- It's Assholes to Avoid.
- Hey, we have a problem.

Naomi Nivola, our friendly reporter,
has been calling our top clients

for a quote on her Me Too story. That
was Jason Hardy from Eerie Media.

- He wants to come in to discuss.
- Oh, my God.

- That's twelve million dollars a year.
- That's right.

So, we need to get our
story straight.

We did not know we were
taking down "Assholes to Avoid. "

Yes, we did.

No, we didn't.

We didn't know we were
taking it down for Tom and Jerry,

but we knew we were taking it down.

Maia, why don't you step outside
for a second ?

You asked her to join us.
She was on the case.

- This should be a partner thing.
- Absolutely.

Maia, you have an opinion. What
do you think they should do ?

Own it. Our client wanted us
to take down a Me Too site.

We didn't agree but we took it down
because we're that good.

Hey, Jason. Here's the thing.

Our client wanted us to take down
a Me Too site.

We did not agree
but we took down that site

'cause we're that good.

And that's what I love about
you guys, you know ?

Civil rights but also the license
to, pow, kill.

- Hey. Who's Maia Rindell ? Rindell ?
- Excuse me ?

I came across her website.

I guess I typed in Reddick-Boseman.net
instead of .com

and her, her stuff came up.
It was really, really cool stuff.

I would love it if she was
on the case too. Is that cool ?

Yeah. Sure.

Dot net, yeah.

Younger, tougher, smarter

- I'll be back.
- You sure you don't want me on this ?

No.

This is our agreement to pay you 80.000
over the course of four years

which is equivalent to the pension
that you were promised.

Someone else
could've had me sign this.

Yeah. That's true.

I volunteered.

Why ?

You know, it always struck me
as unfair in the Bible

how God would hold generation
after generation

guilty for the sins of the parent
and I realized...

Who else can he blame ?

Just give me a sign here and here.

I'm sorry.

Well, yeah.

He's dead now and now
he's truly dead, so...

Goodbye.

- Yeah.
- We can do this later.

No.

Are those the other women
that my father raped ?

Well, not always raped.

Okay.

Do you want me
to take you through it ?

- Is that the only copy ?
- Yeah.

Just leave it.

- Thank you, Marissa.
- Hey, we're in this together.

- Miss Nivola ?
- Yes.

I have a story for you.
A story about the President.

Liz.

I really didn't know
about your dad.

- I know.
- No, that's not what I wanna say.

I think I thought
there might be an affair.

That's why I redid the office
with glass walls.

I didn't want anything hidden.

Your dad was really good to me, Liz.

- He's the reason I have a career.
- Me too.

Although there is one last question.

What ?

What are you doing ?

Who are we ?

Oh, no.

We really do have to give him
an answer, don't we ?

"Because diversity is in right now."

He was this close
to saying "spades."

"You all have diversity in spades."

- You know what we are ?
- What ?

We are a firm with no past.

Not anymore.

We're starting over.

It's refreshing.

- To...
- To new beginnings.
