Previously in Good Trouble.

I want you to know I'm not offended by that you used me to make your ex jealous.

That presentation was good today.

Think about how much better it will be next time will be when we are prepared.

Congratulations. You are part of the CBTV comedy diversity workshop.

I'm helping a friend get restorative justice to teach through art.

I could with the kids talk, if you like.

Your new boss, Kathleen Gale, is being investigated by the FBI.

To make this work, Callie, you will have to trust me.

You called Dyonte to come? - I like you.

You just said you were in a relationship. - That's true. But we are not exclusive.

Are you interested in a relationship with Dyonte?

Have you ever noticed that some of those diversity programs

run by ignorant white dudes?

So we all have crazy bosses, right?

And my last boss asked me to make her muffin to lick. Just to know if it tasted weird.

And then she ate it.

True story.

There are two kinds of women.

Women like me who tell it how it is.

Are you out of your mind? - Girl, what's wrong with you?

And then there are other women who have friends.

Good presentation. - Thank you.

Sorry. I don't want to hurt her.

Do you know what's so great having a crush on someone

and don't know where they are?

So, are you free later tonight?

Nothing.

So, I ran into my ex of the week,

although I didn't realize she was my ex until I saw her kissing my roommate.

I have feelings for someone else.

Yeah, game night's gonna be tough. - Exes, you never really get rid of them.

Because they are everywhere you don't want them.

The supermarket, the park, your Pap smear.

White people always excluded us,

and now they involve us through racism create for the next generation.

I mean, I... seriously, the people who create this diversity programs

think they open doors. And they do... to the 1950s.

Independent Releases presents: Good Trouble S03E08 - Truth

Hey, Ben. - Callie Adams Foster.

Good to see you. How is Legal Aid doing?

Good.

How are things in DC? Are you still working before a federal appeals court?

Yes, it's going great. He loves me, of course.

So you said, in your email that you needed a favor.

Yes.

I was wondering if you could use of your right connections

to see if a lawyer what we work with

being investigated by the FBI.

Sure. Who is the lawyer? -Kathleen Gale.

I'll see what I can find out.

I will.

Okay�, you can leave it there.

Great.

Thank you. - You're welcome.

The tension is getting too much for you, isn't it?

We have a new client.

Tommy Sung, age 19, star quarterback in high school.

On the way to a free choice of scholarships,

until he has a few bad matches.

Coach replaced him with the reserve quarterback, who also happens to be his best friend,

just before school scouting season.

Let it be a few days best friend found dead

at a beer fest in Griffith Park.

Apparently the boy went to pee,

fell into a ravine and fractured his skull.

The prosecution claims that our client

first smashed the skull in with a large stone and then pushed him into the ravine.

Damn. - It gets better.

Tommy's family fired their previous legal team

and... we are about one week to court.

A week? - Don't worry, I'm requesting a continuation.

But, in the meantime, we have a pretrial detention conference with the Attorney General this afternoon.

So grab some boxes, start reading. I'm coming too.

Our first murder case. This is grand.

We need to take a picture... to remember the moment.

Okay, let's not forget that someone was killed.

Yes, but what if we find the real killer? - What if our client is the real killer?

Come on. Come closer. - Are we really doing this?

Yeah, and... we're gonna take a few, so... have fun.

Women are responsible for 80% of consumer purchases in the US,

and they are not alone look for a good deal.

They are looking for something sensible, durable, and stylish.

Go to Bulk Beauty.

Finally, Balk Beauty...

Bulk. Sorry.

Bulk Booty...

Sorry...

Bulk Beauty will cooperate with zero-waste brands whose products

eco-friendly, vegan, and animal friendly.

I love Gina, but her presentation... - It's awful. I know.

Okay�, Gina sucks at presenting. We only have one chance.

We have to say something. - Agree.

Guard. I have an idea.

What if we bring someone else in to give her honest feedback?

So, Kelly, what do you think?

Don't hold back. We can have it.

Yes, be very honest.

Are you ready? - Yes, we're done.

We... are trying to get your feedback.

Sorry, I wasn't listening, but...

you guys look like super nerds. And would certainly give you money

for... what did you sell again?

Never mind. - Can I go now?

Yes please.

Well, I thought you did all did great.

Any feedback for me?

You know, you were so great.

But maybe...

next time with a little more energy?

Energy? - Yes.

Okay, yes. I can work on that.

Thank you.

So, Yuri's work is considered as modern abstract.

I don't understand.

It just looks like a bunch of lines. - And blobs.

I could. - Yeah, what's the point?

Well, the point is that art is subjective.

And Yuri's paintings hang in large art collections and museums.

So even if you don't understand, it's important to be respectful to the artist.

And especially as guests in the artist's studio.

And is Yuri here?

This is not a hard bristle brush. It's like your limp little...

Yuri is a bit moody today.

There's a private screening coming up, and he is beyond stressed.

I tried to persuade him not to cancel

so he might not show up at all.

Welcome.

I am Yuri Ellwin, and I'm glad you're all here.

I thought about something together to make art, okay?

Here, grab a corner, put it down.

I think I'm here because everyone thinks I need to talk to someone.

Who is everyone?

Well...

my friend, Isaac,

and a friend at work.

And what do you think?

I think...

that I'm a little confused.

Are you interested in a relationship with Dyonte?

No. Dyonte is my friend, and that's it.

You are my husband.

Ok�.

And what are you confused about?

Why I'm trying to get my ruin relationship.

Excuse me. Can I have a spoon? - No. Sticks.

How should I eat soup with chopsticks? - Stacey... can you spice it up a bit?

Do it if... one of your friends from Crenshaw.

How should I eat soup with a couple of those chopsticks? I need a spoon.

No. Chopsticks only. - Say... say "sticks" again.

Continue. - Why?

Because it's really funny.

Sticks.

Good. Awesome. Room light, please.

Magic. Guys, gather. Come down.

Well, we're reaching the finish line. The performance is in three weeks.

So your goal is to sign up with CAA before the interruption. ok�?

It's what I did during my performance.

And there is only one talent deal, that's $70,000.

So it's Hunger Games. This is survival of the funniest.

ok�? It's Hollywood.

And to keep it interesting, here we go Eliminate one person this week.

Who will it be? Good?

Do your best. You have to put your best foot forward.

ok�? You can't be too exaggerated in this program.

Except you, Derek.

You have to put your characters in one semblance of reality.

OK, that was it. Good night.

Guys, remember when comedy was fun? - No.

Hey guys, it's Open Mic night at the Laugh Co-op.

We should all go do our own material.

Remind us why we like this. - And get drunk.

That anyway. - Yes.

I'm coming. - Okay�, nice.

I'm going to the toilet. Excuse me.

Sorry. I didn't expect that.

What can I say? You're sexy when you're funny.

So... are you free later tonight?

She's definitely in the driver's seat.

Ok�, so maybe your dreams are telling you that you're tired of being the passenger.

I guess I'll never be the one been at the wheel.

So take control. - Sorry. I've got an appointment.

Really in the entertainment circuit. - Well, you know me.

Anyway...

Ok�, well... don't forget me.

representing today's eco conscious provide consumers

of a guilt-free, all-in-one shop

for their favorite hair and skin care products

in an ethical and efficient way way to receive.

How is that? Better?

Yes. Sure.

Yes, that was...

great, yes. - I loved the energy at that moment.

I have a few more ideas about a few changes...

Because it's the closure, I think it very nice if we each take a sentence.

So... we split my share?

Well, just for the dynamics. You know...

It's a great idea. - Sounds amazing.

You know what? Why don't I take the conduit to click through the slides?

Since all of you have your own share.

It might be weird for me to participate with a sentence or two at the end.

Sounds smart. - That works.

Okay, good idea.

Awesome.

Make us wait. How original.

So we meet again.

If I didn't know better, I would think that you were the only public prosecutor in town, Marc.

Well, what can I say, I go everywhere. - That's what she said.

Anyway, Kathleen, you have Already met Nicolette, and this is Jamie Hunter.

He will observe. - Okay�.

So, Marc, tomorrow we serve a announcement of appearance in

that we are now counsel for Tommy Sung.

So, we have your copy right here.

Thank you.

We also ask for a continuation. - Well, good luck with that.

Tommy's last lawyer has delayed this case by eight months.

I think the judge has had enough.

Well, I guess the real question is how often you want to try this case, Marc.

I'm sure you don't want it judgment is overturned on appeal

because our client didn't have a fair trial.

I'll take a chance.

Okay, well, if I had known that you would be so arrogant,

I wouldn't have bothered to come all the way here.

I'll see you in court.

So, Jamie... how would you like it third chair on this case?

So what's between you and the Ken doll?

A man said he always wanted one black woman wanted to try.

Trying on a black woman. What the hell does that mean?

Don't date or take it out, but try. What am I, a new restaurant?

See, that's why I'm so glad I got my husband have, and i'm not on the apps.

You both don't know how lucky you are.

How is your beautiful husband?

I have feelings for someone else.

A boy I work with. His name is Dyonte.

And what do you find attractive about Dyonte?

He is nice and helpful.

We have a similar story.

He...

just moves me. I can't really explain it.

And I want to be close to him.

He makes me happy.

Are you out of your mind? - Girl, what's wrong with you?

I can't help how I feel. - Listen, I love my husband.

Does that mean I'm not Michael B. Want to climb like a tree? No.

But would I really if I had the chance?

No, I wouldn't. - Yes.

That's a goddamn lie.

The point is...

Isaac loves you and you love him, therefore you cannot give in to temptation.

She is right. Don't get greedy.

And ruin the best thing that ever happened to you. - Us.

What? We have all invested in their relationship.

We need more black love in this world.

And a good man in your bed is worth two in your bush.

Cheers.

It's beautiful. - Thank you.

Yeah, throw it on. You can't make mistakes, I promise.

What made you want to become a painter? - I actually do not know.

I always liked making things.

Well, if I'm being honest my options were rather limited

because I was really bad at school.

But you have to... stay in school and... listen to your teachers.

Especially this one.

Thank you the kids to come to your studio

and that they could paint. - It's a pleasure.

You have a bunch of very smart kids here. - I know. I am very proud of them.

And your work is beautiful. You are so talented.

You know who else is talented?

Gael.

Is that a new painting?

Yes, I'm trying to work to my own things

though it's so hard to get into one exhibition to come today.

Most gallery owners want don't even look at unsolicited art.

What does that mean?

It means you must have an entrance or a useful recommendation.

Like Yuri Ellwin. - Yes.

It's not like I can ask him to look at my work.

Why not? Isn't that the whole point of this internship? So he can help you?

Yes, but... you don't ask the artist. The artist has to ask you.

It's just the way on which it is done.

I actually never have seen some of Gaels' work.

You really should see that.

Hey, I know we have a lot to do have for your exhibition.

We just need to wrap up.

No, it's ok�. Let the kids finish it.

In the meantime, how about it when you and I start cleaning up, huh?

Here is the design of the request for continuation for tomorrow.

Why did you break up? You and Clark Kent?

Sorry. Jamie.

It was complicated. - That's all relationships.

That's why I never married.

We're just...

very different.

Well, don't be surprised if Rothman puts him on this case.

Do you think he knows about Jamie and me? - Of course he knows.

The goal is to make you nervous and weaken my flanks.

I was told you were investigating is by the FBI.

Is that true? - Probably.

The FBI doesn't like you she beats in court.

Gives them a reason to be nonsensical to open investigations about you.

So you're not surprised?

I haven't been more surprised since my mom dropped dead.

Sorry.

Today is her birthday, and me just have a little comfort party.

Has she passed away recently?

No.

I... had about yours age when she died.

Heart attack. Suddenly.

I never want to be robbed like that again.

So I expect the worst, and I am only surprised when it doesn't happen.

I understand.

My... mother died suddenly, in a car accident when I was ten.

That explains your determination, your perseverance,

and why you are struggling to to trust people. However?

A little bit yes. - Me, too.

I'm sorry.

You were too young to lose your mother.

Yes.. You too.

Besides... who told you that I was investigated by the FBI?

My ex, Jamie.

That makes sense.

And remember...

if they bother you... take them right back.

You all have great art made today.

Once this cloth is dry, let's bring it to Gael, yes?

Yes.

Who decides what art is good? - Yes, what will there be in museums?

Well, they are art collectors and curators and... critics. They have a lot of power.

So... they review your work? - Yes. That's right.

But we are all critics.

Ok�, tell me what you think of... this play?

Come on, your opinions are important.

And be honest, I can take it.

I think...

I do not understand.

Yes... what does it mean? - Yes.

See, the thing about art is that it... not about what it means.

It's alright... it's about how it feels to you.

So, if you look at this, what is your emotional response?

Yes. I don't really feel anything.

Me neither.

Sorry.

No. That's fine. Art is personal.

Not everyone will get it.

That's why I learned to do one to have thick skin. So I...

Well, I think we're too long stayed. So thank you very much for today.

It was a pleasure. - Thank you.

Thank you. Nice to meet you. Nice day.

Bye guys. Have a nice day.

Thank you.

Yuri, that was such a great experience. Thanks again.

Glad I did.

I mean it, the people who make these create diversity programs

think they open doors. And they do... to the 1950s.

Ok�... well, that's it from me.

Maybe literally.

Applause for Alice Kwan.

We take a ten minute break and then some funny people come along.

Hey, what are you doing here?

My job. Try to open doors back to the 50's.

Those were just jokes, you know?

I know Scott is a bit much, but he has a good track record.

From HR complaints? - Of launching people's careers.

And racial stereotypes?

The truth is that this viable parts are now.

And I wish it wasn't, but... it point is to get you all working.

At least people can turn on their TVs and see different faces, right?

Yeah I think so.

What do you want to drink?

Can I have a Belgian sour beer, please? And a Dirty Shirley.

Who is the Dirty Shirley for? Your date?

Yes. My date.

Hi, Ruby. - Hi.

I just realized I forgot about you money for my drink.

What do... get out of here, I'm treating you.

Thank you. - It'll be fine.

I'll bring it to you in a minute. - Okay�.

I see you soon.

Day. - Day.

So...

Sanjana is your date? - Yes.

It's new. And of course, secret.

Well, since it's so new...

can I come by later?

Actually, it's not that new If you know what I mean.

Okay, well, have fun. - Okay�. You too.

Thank you.

OK, so... what if I don't want to break up with Isaac?

Well, you can't cake have and eat it.

Do you know couples who are polyamorous?

Just like that guy on TLC with some women?

What does it bring those women? - That's polygamy,

but polyamory is when someone feels the desire

to share love with more than one person.

And I love Isaac too.

He takes care of me and leaves me feel safe and nurtured.

And he challenges me, in a good way.

So, it sounds like you feel a desire

to have a relationship with these two men.

Yeah, but... it feels like it's wrong.

Why?

Because it feels selfish. And why can't one relationship be enough?

Don't know. Why does it have to be?

It sounds like an excuse to me to cheat.

Monogamy is just a social construct.

We are used to value having of having one significant partner.

But for many people, it feels consensual non-monogamy more natural to them.

Personally, I don't think people are meant to be monogamous.

Thank you. - But we choose to be,

to keep the family together and to prove our love and devotion.

Many people believe that polyamory is an orientation or identity.

Not just a lifestyle choice, but that's how you are.

What if being polyamorous just is who i am?

Whether it's anything that you choose or who you are,

it all boils down to one question.

Isaac.

It doesn't sound like you at all confused about what you want, Malika.

Only if you allow yourself to ask.

Do you think Isaac would be willing to share you with another man?

Don't know.

Well, is it worth the risk of losing him to find out?

Because once you tell him how you feel you can't undo that.

Yuri, I'm sorry about what happened before, man.

Those kids know nothing about art. - They are right.

The piece was worthless. All my work is worthless.

I don't have a decent painting anymore made since my wife left me,

took our daughter back to Australia.

She's beautiful, right? - Yes, that's her.

I admit that I have a horrible husband but I was a good father.

Or at least I tried.

Those kids here today, that was fun.

They reminded me of her.

Blaise.

She is my heart.

And I haven't felt any inspiration since she left.

My art is devoid of any real emotion.

Apparently you're not.

What if you're all you feel about puts your daughter in your job, you know?

I mean... do it for her?

Nice words.

But thanks.

I appreciate you trying to cheer up.

I know I... can be quite an asshole.

You know what, what did you think that I will tomorrow morning

come to your house to see your work?

Yes. Are you sure? - Yes absolutely.

Yes. Good.

H�...

what's up with the redhead girl in your nerd group?

What do you mean?

I pretended not to see because, believe like it or not, i'm not very emphatic.

But I think it was because she was so bad at the presentation.

Wait...so you were listening?

Naturally. But it's not my job to tell her that.

I am not her business partner or her friend.

Or her lover. - No. What? I am not her lover.

Yes, I didn't say you were.

Okay, well, no one had to eventually tell her.

She decided not to do the presentation herself. - But, is that so?

Or did she just leave because you made her feel bad?

What... is a good strategy, but... you know,

do something with it.

Have you ever noticed that some of these diversity programs

being led by silly white dudes?

Stop and give me three spring rolls and a Hong Kong Phooey.

Damn.

H�. I'm sorry. I had two versions of that video.

I thought I posted it without you. It was an accident.

Well, everyone, I have an announcement.

It seems that none of you need to lose weight this week, as my head is about to roll.

Kwan.

I found your performance on Instagram.

It was hilarious.

It was hilarious. Look how scared you are.

Guys, this is what I said, okay? We should be able to laugh at ourselves.

Sanjana, laugh at yourself. Good. Not great.

Get on stage, my little comedy ninja.

Let's piece the Vietnamese do nail salon. I love it.

The stretch. - Yes?

Can I talk to you? - Yes. Naturally.

We owe you an apology.

Instead of giving you honest feedback, we have deleted your part in the presentation.

How can I get better if you don't tell me the truth?

How can we trust each other if we are not honest with each other?

You're right. - And we will not be successful business partners,

or friends, when we are afraid to be direct.

OK, so...

how can i get better?

Well... you're stiff and monotonous. - You must exude confidence.

And enthusiasm for the product. - Okay�.

Maybe you can help me to work on it?

Naturally. - Certainly.

Maybe we should go around and give each other general feedback.

ok�...

Claire, it's hard for you to put on projects to give that we have already left behind.

But I know it's because of you you are a fantastic problem solver

and you want to find a way to make it work.

Rachel, your focus often wanders,

which means you don't always you meet deadlines,

but the work is without a doubt impeccable and elegant.

Ok�.

Mariana, sometimes your code work is a bit messy.

You are great in the grand scheme of things only sometimes...

You ignore the details. - And make your mistakes.

Ok�. Yes, maybe that's enough feedback for today.

Okay, so, do I show him this? Or maybe just these three?

Show him everything. - No, that's not how it works.

Ok�, well, if we waited to see how it works, wouldn't Yuri come and look at your art.

Yes. - And you're welcome.

Thank you.

Hey, are you here?

What? No. Listen, I've been up all night. I I'm working on five new pieces for the show.

I need you in the studio now. How fast can you get here?

Due process of law dictates that every suspect gets a fair trial.

And it's not fair if I don't get the time I need

to prepare his defence.

The suspect's last minute change of counsel is clearly another delaying tactic.

Speaking of delaying tactics,

the prosecutor doesn't even have me Brady statements have been given.

Mrs. Gale had Brady's statements from the previous counsel,

when she took over the business, Your Honor. - Which proves once again

why continuation is necessary.

Good. Counselors, I've heard enough.

mr. Rothman, I command you for Brady's statements

to be delivered to Mrs. Gale before the end of the day.

Thank you, Your Honor.

But... I'm going to request the defense reject for continuation.

This change of counsel on the eve of the process resembles a delaying tactic.

And, frankly, it smacks of bad faith.

The trial continues next week as planned.

Your Honor, I... didn't want to overplay my hand at this stage, but you gave me no choice.

I'm working on a new line of defense, requiring expert testimony.

It will take more than a week to get me on time to prepare for the process.

I'm not going into this Hail Mary.

Okay, fine, then, I'm going to object and file a summons.

With all due respect,

are you willing to be revoked by an appeals court

for this very fundamental issue of criminal procedure?

Since it is a new line of research, I will consider it.

But you have to lay a good foundation.

I want to see all parties here again in three days.

And Mrs. Gale, be ready to amaze me.

I will, Your Honor. Thank you.

So, what is this new line of defense?

I have no idea, but we'll have to do something come so that I am not embarrassed

and a 19-year-old boy to prison goes for the rest of his life.

Do you think she's bluffing? - Doesn't really matter.

Her days in this case are numbered. - Why? Because of the FBI investigation?

So she's corrupt? - Yes.

H�. - H�.

Look... I realize that I get a little too tenacious

and if you are dating someone in the project and with me, it is....

it will definitely be a mess.

So I think we're just taking a break have to take from... whatever this is. ok�?

Ok�.

Awesome. You are here. You were right last night.

The inspiration was inside me all along.

I throw most things away. Start over.

But the show is in a few days, so i need your help.

Sure, whatever you need. - Awesome.

I want you to paint that for me.

You want me to paint a whole piece? - No, I want you to finish my sketch.

There's not much to work on here.

It is said that you are very are a talented artist.

Now is your chance to prove it.

We have to look at the witnesses,

see if there is anything to their testimony to doubt.

Sorry. I'll be right back.

Hi Ben. - H�.

So, I did some searching and I found out that Kathleen Gale is being investigated by the FBI.

I can search a little further if you want to know the details.

Actually, I'm not interested anymore. But thanks for looking at it.

No problem. If you mind changes, let me know.

I've thought a lot about what you said in our last session.

Commitment shouldn't mean you suppresses your feelings or your identity

for fear of losing the person who you love.

And as frightening as it is, not being your authentic self,

don't ask for what you really need,

that is what ultimately destroys relationships.

And I've realized that...

because I love Isaac so much, and I don't want to ruin our relationship,

I have to tell him that I lied.

I do want a relationship with Dyonte.

And I want to keep my relationship with him.

And Isaac, what do you think of that?
