All language subtitles for So Help Me Todd S01E14 - Against All Todds (NetNaija.xyz)

DOMINIC:
You're lying again.
Just admit it.

You're paranoid. And crazy.
I've done nothing wrong.

It was Josh from Accounting
this time, right?

My God, I made
one mistake in college,

and you still think
the worst of me.

Because you keep
proving me right.

If we can just focus on
the terms of the divorce.

I want half
of Dixie's company.

As payback.

Wha... Half?

At least half.

Dominic was there
from the beginning.

You have got
to be kidding me.

DOMINIC:
That is what you
get for lying...

Are you...
This is my company!

[overlapping shouting]

MARAGARET:
Please, let's
just calm down.

Now if we could all
just agree on a settlement,

we can move on
with our lives, okay?

You said you could
secure something fair.

Half is not fair.

I built Solafide
from the ground up.

Me. And I sure
as hell am not

gonna give him half
of everything I built.

WOMAN:
Margaret.

Do you have a moment?

Beverly.

Yes. Uh, everyone,
this is Beverly Crest

of Crest,
Folding & Song.

Um, we'll just take ten,

and I'll be... right back.

Uh, Beverly,

I didn't realize that
you were back from Carnevale.

Dixie Kimble brought
us her divorce.

And I have it
under control.

With the expectation

that if we satisfied her,

we could expect
Solafide's business,

her $70 million sporting
goods corporation.

Beverly, you yourself told me

that every acrimonious divorce

has a day in the middle
of negotiations

when things fall apart.
[chuckles]

Today is that day.Then you need to

move through it quicker,
before she gets fed up

and walks her high-maintenance
butt out that door.

A named partner
wouldn't let this feather

slip from her cap.

That's what you want,
isn't it?

To be a named partner here?

Crest, Folding, Song & Wright?

I do want that, yes.

You know I do.

And while you were abroad,

I added the mayor and
the governor to my client list.

This hiccup today...

This hiccup tells me
that you are not a killer.

You're good,

but that client needs you
to go for the jugular.

That's what

puts your name
on the letterhead,

not holding people's hands

and letting them
cry on your shoulder.

That puts you
out in Siberia.

Are we clear?

Yes.

[watch beeps]Okay, there are 16, 17,

18 cupcakes here in--

and I want to be
very clear about this--

an unmarked box
with no name, no date,

so this recording
will serve as testimony

to the fact that I, in fact,

did consider
the moral consequences

of me liberating one of these
delicious-looking cupcakes

from this box with my mouth.

MARGARET:
Todd.

I need your help.

Uh, what? Help with what?

What is going on?
You look... Are you okay?

I need to know that
someone isn't cheating.

Isn't cheating?
You know, typically,

investigators are asked to
find out if someone is...

Todd.
Okay, you want me

to prove a negative.

I want you to do what I ask.

Get proof
that a woman

is not sleeping
with her employees.

And...

and look into
her husband.
Mm-hmm.

And go for the jugular.

I want dirt.

I want all the dirt.
I want lots of dirt.

Okay, so you want me
to kill him.

Yes. No! I want dirt, not death.

Well, typically,
the dead are buried in dirt.

Oh, Todd, stop fooling around.

Just go get
the information

on Dominic and Dixie Kimble

from Francey, and get to work.

Todd,

you did not

eat one of those
cupcakes, did you?

It's Bob's birthday.

No, I did not eat one.

I could have,
but I did not,

and I have
recorded testimony

supporting that fact.

Just go.

Work. Sleuth. Now.

Okay.

Todd.

Veronica?

What are you...
You're in jail.

No, not anymore.

You have
eight more years...

They let me out.

You have eight more years
left in jail.

Todd, I need your help.

Uh, yeah, okay, no.

How did you even get out?

[sighs]
Do you remember Luke Anten?

The corrupt cop?
The case that...

That I helped you solve.

Yeah.Right, the D.A.

came to me,
asking for information.

I was able to trade
for time served.

I helped
put him away.

You have got to be kidding me.

Todd...No, don't-don't
you touch me.

Please.

You can't be seen here,

and I can't be seen with you.

This... Okay, you know what?

We got to get you out of here.

Don't.

Todd, this
is serious.

No, this is serious.

If my mother sees you,
she would kill me.

Get down. Okay.

Why do you have to be
wearing zebra print?

Uh, not there. Come on.

Todd...No, not in
the conference room.

God, why does this entire place
have to be made of glass?

Oh, here...

Todd...
[exhales]

someone is trying to kill me.

Good. I mean, no,
that's-that's awful.

I'm-I'm sorry,
but that's not my problem.

Hey...

when did you get
all these tattoos?

You don't care if I die?

Look, you tried
to put me in jail,

and then you went instead,

and now, somehow,
you lied your way out, and...

And now the Miller Brothers
are trying to kill me.

Well...[footsteps approaching]

[shushing]

Wait,

who did this to you?

The Millers?

It doesn't--
It doesn't matter...No, no, no.

Why did you come here?

What do you
want from me?

Hmm.

Life on the outside

is a lot harder
than I imagined.

Old enemies, old problems.

So I am...

going away.

This is my boarding pass

for a one-way ticket
to Rio tonight.

8:00 p.m. You'll never
have to see me again.

Okay.
But...

I need money.

What?

I don't have any money
because of you.

I'm not just gonna give you m...

I hid a box of cash.

Large bills, enough
to live on for years.

The Millers think
I stole it from them,

that's why
they're trying to kill me,

but I didn't. It is mine.

But I can't go to the location

'cause they're watching it.

The Millers are the most
dangerous criminals

in the entire Pacific Northwest.Mm-hmm.

Yes, and they have no idea
what you look like.

I mean, you never
actually met them, right?

So, you could go,
get my money,

and then I'm gone.

Todd,

Flight 277 to Rio.
Tonight.

This is my life
we're talking about.

Why do I have to get it?

Why can't you just
use someone else?

I mean, why me?Because...

the money is hidden

in the heating duct
of our old office.

On Klickitat Street.

Todd...

they will kill me.

[sighs]

[sighs]

[vent clatters]

Hey, what are you...

Hey!

[door closes]

[watch beeps]On the case,

or on a case.

Money was gone,
but I don't think she took it.

"She" being the woman
in our old office.

Does she work
for the Millers?

Is she a Miller?

Maybe she's just a random

clever thief.

Either way, she's very elusive.

[phone ringing][hisses, sighs]

Mom, I can't talk right now.

MARGARET:
Just tell me what you've found.

She's not cheating?
He's a monster?

Uh, wait a minute.
Who are "she" and "he?"

Todd, I asked you...

Right, right, right. Mom,
it's barely been an hour, okay?

Gimme a sec. Geez.

I don't have a "sec," Todd.

Did you not understand
how important this is?

I need dirt and info now.

Password?

No starch.

Todd?

Hey.

No starch.

[racing announcer
chatters indistinctly]

MAN:
Hey, put 20on Dixon

in the next
race for me.

What the hell?

Hey!

Police! Don't move,
don't move!

Everybody, hands up.

You're all under arrest
for illegal gambling.

MARGARET:
Todd? What is happening?

Todd, this is your mother.

I demand you tell me what is...

Hi, Todd's Mom.

He's gonna need this phone
to call his lawyer.

That was my lawyer.

♪

Arrested. For illegal gambling?

I wasn't, I...

Mom. I was just
following this woman...

What woman?

I don't know.

I don't know who she is, but
I was looking for something...

Looking for what?
Where?

In an office. On...

On Klickitat Street.

Tell me this is not
about Veronica.

No, no, no, it's not.
It is not about her.

It's about her money.
But she's not...[groans] Good Lord, Todd.

No, she's going away.

Mom, she's moving to Brazil.

She-she-she got
out of jail...

What? [laughs]
Wonderful.

And she came
straight after you.

No, she just asked
me to pick up...
Okay.

I don't want to hear it.
Are you listening to yourself?

You are falling again
for some stupid ploy

from some hideous
snake woman...

Thank you so
much, Jill.

...whose primary
goal in life

is to destroy you.

Someone is trying
to kill her,

and I only agreed...

To be an idiot
and a fool.

That is unkind.

But "snake woman"
is probably fair.

You are aware of the conditions

of the deal I made
two years ago?

Yes.

To keep you
out of jail?

That you not
get into trouble again.

And if you are convicted
of a felony,

all charges are
right back on the table.

Look, I will fix this.

Oh, no, no,
no, no, no.

I'll handle it now.

You have dumped
the mess of your life

right back into my hands.

Because no matter

how much progress
you've made,

you short-circuit every
time Veronica appears.

And for crying
in the night,

I have to go back in there
and beg the D.A.

to drop your new
misdemeanor charge.

Thank God
it's not a felony.

Uh, no, no, no. No, no.
You sit here

and don't go anywhere.

Sit. And stay.

Todd... [chuckles]

...did you even do
a shred of investigating

on Dominic and Dixie
like I asked you to?

I was about to...

Thank you. I can't keep
the D.A. waiting any longer.

He was tailing a criminal,

and he simply walked into...

An illegal
gambling operation.

After an assailant.

So, I'm gonna need
the name of that person.

I don't have it.

The name of the case
you're working on.

Well, i-it's not a case

yet. Um...

He was led astray
by a convicted felon.

He got involved with
Veronica Caron again?

Five minutes after
she was released?

It is not what it sounds like.

Ah, it sounds like
two years ago.

People make mistakes.

Listen, we've known each other
for a long time, Deanna.

Yeah, and you traded on that

back when I was
happy to help, Mags,

but this is what we call
a pattern of behavior,

and I-I... I thought he wanted
his PI license restored.

He does.

Please, can you just...

No.

I'm sorry.

Get your kid in order.

I thought I had.

All right, Todd.

SUSAN:
Margaret. Hey.

Hi. I just ran into Todd.

He gave me your bags,
your coat and this note.

Everything all right?

It's a good thing
you dumped him when you did.

He's a child,

a mess, and he always will be.

Peter is much
better for you.

He's a man who will
never misbehave,

never turn your
life upside down,

and never surprise you.

Surprise.

This is so nice
of Margaret.

Dixie will really
appreciate it.

She's counting on your
mom to save her butt.

Ah, that's my mom.
Big butt-saver.

That's a lot
caffeine, huh?

You must work
a lot of late nights.

Oh, and we get up early.
Vendors in Tokyo,

manufacturing in Beijing.

It's non-stop around the clock.

Gosh, how do you
keep track of it all?

I can barely keep my
mom's schedule straight

in one time zone.

Oh, yeah. We have a good,
uh, tracking software thing.

You know, with call log apps
on Dixie's phones.

Phones? Like phones, plural?

Uh-huh.

One, uh, business,
one "personal."

Anyway, it's
not so bad.

It's all synchronized.
You get used to it.

Hmm. I bet you do.

Mom, got some dirt.
Maybe not what you wanted,

but your client, Dixie,
has two phones,

so I highly suggest you get
records for both of them.

[watch beeps]

Hello?

How are you? Uh, no starch.

No?

Oh, uh, all right. Uh...

Maple bacon.
Chocolate frosted.

Old fashioned.
Pink with sprinkles.

Do I look like
I serve doughnuts?

Uh, cruller.
Jelly filled. Bear claw.

Can I help you, sir?

Yeah, I'm just trying
to guess the password.

To the bathrooms?

Do bathrooms
need a bouncer?

Do I look like a bouncer?

Do I look like an idiot?

Do you want me
to answer that?

Uh, no. Look...

That's not a
bathroom back there.

Okay.

I just... There's
gambling back there,

and I need to
speak to the woman

who I suspect
just went inside.

Then I guess you
need a password.

But you just...

Okay, uh, glazed.

Uh, unglazed.
Strawberry... surprise?

Banana cream.
Banana non-cream.

Maple twist.

Is it doughnut-related?

Order for Veronica.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Hey!

TODD:
Mom, it's a setup.

The whole thing.

The-the doughnuts,
the black eye,

the dry-cleaning.
She-she-she wants revenge.

I mean, she got me arrested
for illegal gambling,

and now she's got me
on camera

with a big box
of cash

like I'm laundering money

for the illegal gambling,

which bumps me up
to a felony,

and then all my charges

are back on the table
and I'm off to the slammer.

Mom?

Mom, what's going on?

Beverly Crest took me off
the Dixie Kimble divorce.

I am in Siberia now,

and it's all your fault.

Mom, got some dirt.
Maybe not what you wanted,

but your client, Dixie,
has two phones,

and I highly suggest
you get the records

for both of them.

You played that
aloud in the room?

How was I supposed to know
what you were going to say?

How was I supposed to know
you were with your client?

Todd, Dixie Kimble tried
to fire me on the spot.

It looked like we were
investigating her.

I was try...Huh? No.

She would have walked out

with her $70 million
worth of business

if-if Beverly hadn't taken
the case away from me.

Did you miss the part
where I just said

that Veronica is setting me up
to go to jail?

That is where
you deserve to go

if you continue to get involved

with this monster woman.

Which is it,
monster woman or snake lady?

Pick one, Mom.Todd,

I have been trying

to make named partner for years.I...

This is a very
important client to me,

and now I am ruined.

You're not ruined.Yes, I am.

Ruined? Really?Yes. Yes, I am.

You're wearing
an $800 belt

and green shoes.
Oh.

How do you know how
much my belt cost?

And these shoes
are pistachio.

You know, you're gonna have
plenty of other clients, Mom.

Meanwhile, I am being framed
and sent up the river.

I will have you know

that the prison
that you would be sent to

is downriver...

Oh, it's a figure
of speech, Mom.

...and I am not going
to let that happen.

Wait, you're not going
to let that happen?

No, of course not.

You're my son.

Why does Veronica have
such a hold on you?

I don't know.

She was exciting.

I mean, we did all of these

risky and dangerous
things together,

and it was like...
this big adventure.

And even if it did
end badly, it's...

...it was really good.

Most of the time.

It was. It was really good.

You know, that's how
I feel about Harry.

The bad ending

doesn't negate the good times.

I did love him.

Once.

I'm going to jail, aren't I?

No.

She could have had you arrested
at that doughnut shop

and you'd be up on
felony charges already

and gone tomorrow,
which makes me think...

There's a bigger plan.

Yes, but what is it?

You know, if only
I could find that woman

and get her to talk...

Todd, do you hear yourself?

No, I'm just...No, no.

Right back into
the jaws of danger.

No.
Oh.

You couldn't make
that woman blink, Todd.

She works for Veronica!

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

The D.A. was right,
this is a pattern of behavior.

You...What?

I-I am still pleading
on your behalf,

you are still in trouble,

you still owe me $6,400 dollars.

Okay, you know what?

I'm never gonna
get anywhere in life

if I have to pay my own mother
this stupid debt.

You know what?
I'm going to find this woman.

You do owe me that debt,
and you're never gonna

get ahead in life
if you keep

playing around with Veronica!

Slithering snake woman.

♪

Gotcha. And there's
no other way out of here.

I checked. Twice.

Look, I-I cannot help you.
I do not know anything.

Well, you clearly know
how to lead me into trouble.

Where's Veronica?

I don't know any Veronica.

[laughs] Sure.
Sure, I believe that.

What's your name, then?

It's Lindy.

Lindy.

Lindy, who is in league
with Veronica.

Who is or isn't
running from the Millers?

What?

She isn't running
from the Millers.

She's working with them.

And so are you.

What are you talking about?

I'm not working
with the Millers.

I've never even met them.

You signed an agreement
with them.

Wait, wait, what? No, I didn't.

Yes, you did. When you first
started working with Veronica,

you signed an NDA
with the Millers' name on it.

This was a trap.

It was insurance
in case you ever crossed her.

What? That's crazy.
I-I-I didn't sign any agreement.

I mean, I-I may have signed some

generic forms...

Did you have your lawyer
read those forms

very carefully
before you signed?

Because Veronica
still has that agreement,

which connects you
to the Millers.

No, no.Okay, no,
but if they get caught,

they won't go down.

I will.

Illegal gambling,
money laundering...

it's all on me now.

I mean, she doesn't just want me

in jail for my old charges,

she wants those plus 10
to 15 years. She wants...

She wants revenge.

True revenge.

She is... She's evil.

And she doesn't like
when people cross her.

Sounds like you found
that out the hard way.

Tell me where she is.

No, I-I can't.
She will destroy me.

More than she
already has?

Look, I have a lawyer.

A really good,
powerful lawyer.

She'll protect me, and you,
if you'll let her.

This might be it for both of us.

Where is she?

All I know is

she's playing some high-stakes
poker game tonight.

Where? Where is it?
I'll go. I'll...

You can't. You can't.I'll play. I'll...

It's Ladies' Night.

[door closes]

Okay, don't tell Beverly
I'm showing you this,

but Dixie's
phone records

do prove that
she was cheating.

Oh, if only Todd hadn't
sent that voice message,

I would still be on this case.

Yeah.

Um, Margaret?Hmm?

Speaking of Todd,

uh...

can I ask?

Yesterday when you said that

Peter would never surprise me...

Mom, I found
that woman,

and I know exactly where
Veronica's going to be tonight.

And?
And, uh,

how's your poker game?

[classical music plays quietly]

[quiet chatter]

Hi.
Hi.

All right.Thank you so much.

Enjoy your supper.

These earrings have
cameras in them.

We'll see everything
on the table.

TODD:
What? I didn't know

we had earring cameras.

I have
earring cameras.

All this tech
is mine.

It's the law firm's,

and I'm the son of a partner.

Well, not
a named partner.

Whatever.Uh,

we'd agreed
I'd be the coat taker

and you're
the coat hanger.

Okay, can we please just
focus on the task at hand?

Yes, yes.

We'll be in your ear
the whole time.

Right, and I will explain to you

what the cards mean.
There's red, there's black,

there's different
shapes, there's...

Oh, for God's sake, Todd,

I host the opera's
annual casino night.

Okay. Well, then,
all you got to do

is get to her table
and get her talking, okay?

We are
recording everything.

Which is highly illegal.

Just like gambling.

Well, do you want
to argue details

or do you want to save my life?

Okay, get her talking about you,

about how you stupidly signed

an agreement without having me

properly review it.
About how you were framed

by doughnuts and
dry-cleaning. Mm-hmm.

I was a professional
investigator once.

And once we get
the recording,

then, hopefully,

we could clear my name,
which is a long shot, but...

What else have we got?

Okay.
Okay.

[exhales]

Todd, I don't feel
good about this.

Look, look,
don't be nervous.

You sit opposite scary
opponents every day. And win.

You read people.
You are good at this.
Yes.

She may be the devil,
but you can beat her.

Do you want to know why?

'Cause you're a killer.

Very fun... indeed.

Okay, uh, I think
we're ready

to ease into a conversation.

Just easy ease into it.

We got to get her talking.

But if I were you, I'd raise.

Now.

And I raise you 500.

Fold.

Okay, maybe Lyle

but I thought we agreed

I was gonna be

You got to be careful, Mom.

She could be playing you.

I didn't know you played.

You hardly know me
at all, Veronica.

Mmm, but I know your son.

Regrettably, yes.

Okay, next hand.

Ooh, pocket nines. Nice.

Three of a kind.
Good flop, Mom.

Okay.

2,000.

All right, hold up.
She may have a flush,

and if it's a straight flush,
then that means...

I see your 2,000,

and raise you four.

I will never understand
what Todd saw in you.

You're manipulative
and controlling.

Hmm. Are you kidding?

That's exactly
what he saw in me.

He saw you.

Manipulative,
controlling.

No one is easier to fool
than a mama's boy.

This is unexpected.

Are you in or not?

Yeah, she could have a flush
with just one spade in her hand.

800.

All in.

I'll see your 800...

and...

raise you 5,000.

Uh, Mom,
you can't do that.

You know I don't have that.

If the opponent has
nothing more to offer...

Oh, but she does have
something more to offer.

Mom, what
are you doing?

A document with
my son's signature on it

linking him
to the Millers.

That's worth $5,000 to me.

Call.

Oh snap, your mom
is a killer.

Wait, wait.

Did she just happen to
have that agreement on her?

Did she...

Did she know that
we were coming here?

Up and over.

Seven.What?

She doesn't
have a straight,

she doesn't
have anything.

I guess you win, Margaret.

Oh, no.

MAN:
Police. Don't move.

TODD:
Oh, no, no, no, no.

Hands where
we can see them.

Where'd she go?
Where's Veronica?

Wait, wait. My mom was
the target all along.

No, no, no, no, no,
no, no.

TODD:
Mom. Mom.No. No. No.

I won. I-I won, I won.

TODD:
Mom!Mayday, mayday, mayday.

I'm so sorry
about this, Margaret.

Oh, no, no, no.
You're just doing your job.

I still can't believe
you got arrested.

You and me both.

Oh, it's the craziest story.

The next time I see you, I'll...

Is that a ring?
Did he finally propose?

[giggles] We're
planning a June wedding.

[laughs]:
Oh, wonderful.

I'm actually gonna need to
take your jewelry, too.

Oh, yes, of course.
Of course.

Earrings, too?

Uh, yes, ma'am.
Okay.

Oh, a June bride.

Oh, they're my favorite.
[laughs]

Good?

Um...

just pat the top down.

Okay.

Oh, you'll never believe it.

It is the craziest story.

It was a total case
of mistaken identity.

Oh. How many more weeks
do you have?

Four.

Four? Oh, my God.

That last month is the worst.

I mean, the ankles.

Uh, non-aerosol hairspray
takes the ink off fastest.

Or lemon juice.

Thank you. You are the best.

I'm off to
the arraignment.

Let's just hope
I don't get a hanging judge.

[laughs]
And good luck.

I'm so sorry, Mom.

Just get me out of here.

It's late, Susan.Go home.

[soft chuckle]

Margaret?

Hey.
Hi.

I came back to get
the Koenig motion.

What are you doing?

[sighs] Isn't that the question?

What am I doing?

I mean, I couldn't eat,
I couldn't sleep,

and it felt better
just to be working.

Am I a terrible mother?

What?

[sighs] No.

No, you're not.

When your child

makes a mistake,
they're supposed to

learn a lesson. Right?

When Todd got in
trouble two years ago,

I... I rescued him,

but I asked him to pay me back.

A-And shouldn't I have?

Otherwise, how
will he learn?

How much money does
he still owe you?

Oh, around $6,000.

No, I don't really care
about that,

but I want him to understand

that there are consequences
to our actions.

That we have to be accountable.

Uh-huh.

Or maybe you're just worried
that once he's paid you back,

once he's free and clear,

you'll lose your hold on him

and he'll leave.

Well, I mean...

maybe that's part of it.

But not all of it.

I will get the rubbing alcohol
from the break room.

No, no, no.
I-I'll get it.

It'll get the ink off.

No, no, it's late.

[sighs]

Oh.Dixie.

Margaret. Hello.

I, uh...

Beverly and I are working late.

As am I.
[chuckles]

Um...

Dixie, I owe you an apology.

For inadvertently
revealing your indiscretion.

No, it's my fault.

I'm the one
who lied,

and actually did
the indiscretion.

I screwed everything up.

Well, you're human.

You made a mistake. A big one.

But you'll be okay.

Beverly will
work everything out.

You're a lot different from her.

Softer.

More human.

I'm just sick

that I'm about to lose

half of everything I've built

because I was an idiot.

I know you're not
my attorney anymore, but...

Oh, no, no, no,
I-I cannot advise you.

Just woman to woman, then.

What do you think I should do?

Well, I think

that you and Dominic
probably loved each other

very much
at one time,

and that even though
mistakes were made,

you can still go to him
and tell him the truth.

About what
happened,

and why it
happened.

It won't fix everything,

but coming clean
will go a long way

toward you feeling better
about yourself.

A full confession
is truly the only way

to release the power
anyone has over you.

Why are your fingertips black?

Oh, uh, I'm an ex-con. Ha!

[chuckling]:
Oh, no.

Excuse me,
I really do have to go. Uh...

Good luck.

Um, it was a pleasure
representing you,

however briefly.

[phone chimes]Text Todd.

Todd, period.

I know how we're going
to get you out

from under Veronica, period.
Call me, period.

Immediately, exclamation point.

Your Honor,
my client Todd Wright

is here today to confess
his criminal behavior.

In 2018, I signed an agreement
without reading it.

That document, along with
my personal information

that I willingly gave,

was used in setting up an
illegal gambling organization.

I visited
one of their locations,

and I had my hands
on some of their money.

Uh, I did all of this
of my own volition.

Mr. Wright's actions
have brought about

a misdemeanor charge,
and we are here today

to get ahead of
the felony charge

which will
likely follow.

TODD:
And I am deeply

ashamed and embarrassed

at getting caught up
in this criminal enterprise.

And we hope that you may show
some mercy in his sentencing.

JUDGE:
Thank you, Mr. Wright.

I'll review
the file

and hold the sentencing
hearing after lunch.

At that time, the prosecution

can put forward
any witnesses,

and Mr. Wright
can offer mitigation.

Recess.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Of course you're here.

Oh, D.A. Corrigan
called me personally.

I'm testifying against you.

And I promised to do the same
for Mommy Dearest.

Well, it doesn't matter.

I've made peace with
everything that's happened.

And I'm done with you.

Come on, sweetheart,
let's not talk to her.

Won't be so easy this time, huh?

Protecting your son,
once you've been disbarred?

Oh, yes, that was your endgame
all along, wasn't it?

Mmm. You're the reason
I was in jail.

You defended him and gave
the D.A. every scrap of evidence

to put me away
in the first place.

I spent two

long years in that hellhole

dreaming of this moment.
[laughs]

Well, I have to hand it to you.

Luring Todd into that
illegal gambling site,

knowing that I would
come to his rescue

as soon as he was in jeopardy.

You're good.

Smart.

Tell me, how did you do it?

Mmm, thank you.

I'm smart enough to know
that you're wearing

the earrings from poker night

which have
cameras in them,

and a mic.

Who do you think
trained your little boy

to get a solid confession?

Come out, come out,
wherever you are.

Ah, there we go.[groans]

I'm not saying another word

until you hand over
the earrings,

the mic, and your phones.

Okay?

Thank you. Todd?
What?

The burner phone recording
in your back pocket. Come on.

Thank you.

[sighs]

Mm, let's see.

I will always

be one step ahead of you.

Always.

So, that agreement
that you had him sign?

Oh, yeah, standard
boilerplate for suckers.

I just got his okay
to ensnare him

in any criminal
enterprise I chose.

Gambling just felt
the most poetic.

And what about Lindy?

Oh, my God, you do love
a helpless woman.

She was paying off
a favor to me,

luring you into trouble,

knowing full well this one

would comerunning.

You are both
just so easy.

[laughs]
I orchestrated

every part of this,

every step of the way.

Speaking of orchestrating
every step of the way...

You missed a few
recording devices.

Thanks, Lyle.
These earrings are cool.

I think I got every word.

I haven't been on
the bench in eight years,

and that was fun.

[chuckles]

Veronica, meet my friend,
retired Judge Myles Friedman.

And that entire

confession
in there? Fake.

Sorry, but smile,
you're on camera.

Mm, okay.

Now that we have
your confession

on audio and video...

We're taking
the appropriate steps

to put you back
behind bars again.

When we make
deals with felons,

one of the
conditions is

not to break the law again.

And especially not
within weeks of your release.

Okay, this is...
This is ridiculous.

You can't do this.
You set me up.

And quite well, I might add.

[laughs]

We did it![laughter]

Thank you, everyone, for all...

Whoa! Okay.

Oh-ho-ho, that was fun.

Yeah, Veronica's
not the only one

who knows how to set up
an elaborate sting.

Yes, I think we pulled that off.

Mm-hmm.
Now, Todd,

I'd like to talk to you
about something.

Okay.

This debt,
the money you owe me...

I know, I know.
I'm gonna repay it.

We could just
take a larger chunk

out of my paycheck
every week.

No. I'd like to
take no chunks

out of your paycheck
from now on.

You are right.

You are never
going to get ahead

or get out
of your sister's garage

if you have to keep
tithing to me.

Wait, really?
Are you serious?

Debt cleared?
Wiped away?

Wiped clean.

Starting now.

But I am no longer
paying for lunches.

Not any lunch,
anymore, forever.

What? Not even
your favorite,

the shrimp salad in
the downstairs cafeteria?

Nope, not even that.

In fact...

you are treating me.

Let's go.

Uh, this feels like
another trap.

Oh, it is, it is.

Trapped into a lifetime
of lunches with your mother.

A fate worse
than death.

Mmm.

BEVERLY:
Celebrating
today's triumph?

Mmm.

Yes. [clears throat] Yes.

[chuckles]
Good news travels fast.

I also heard

you spoke
to Dixie Kimble last night.

[coughs] Yes...

[coughs] Yes, I'm sorry.

I ran into her
in the break room,

but I didn't say anything
that would, in any way...

She spoke to Dominic.

Confessed her sins.

And it worked.

The marriage is over,
but he's backed down

and agreed
to a healthy settlement.

And Dixie is interested

in our firm continuing
to represent her.

Oh. Well, that's wonderful news.

With you as lead counsel.

Maybe I was wrong about you.

Maybe I'm just a different
kind of killer.

Hmm.

[whispering]:
Yes, yes, yes, yes.

[exhales sharply]

Indeed.

Mmm.

LYLE:Stealing more
cupcakes?

What? I did not.

Birthday cupcakes
for Bob's birthday

were missing from
this refrigerator.

I know nothing
about that.
And we all know

you have a sweet tooth.And I have audio proof
that I resisted.

You won't get away with
your criminal behavior for long.

What?

Oh, no.

Not... for... long.

Okay, that is spying.
Plus, it's illegal.

And I'm innocent.

I'm innocent.

Huh.

Veronica Caron.

Following your
confession to charges

of illegal gambling, coercion,
extortion and forgery,

your deal with
the district attorney

has been revoked,
and you will return

to the state
correctional facility

to serve out the remainder
of your sentence.

[gavel bangs]
