[indistinct chatter]

- cheers.
- thank you.

- plymouth and tonic.
- yes, sir.

- check, please.

- you always come in the door
Leaving?

- um, it is not my scene.

- but here you are, so you were
Either born on that barstool,

Or you came in here disguised
As a woman who wants attention.

- and you're wearing a $3,000
Suit with a pocket square.

- I believe my motives
Are clear.

- sorry.

It has been a while
Since anyone has offered...

To buy me a drink.
- really?

Did the world go blind?
- hmm.

I'm married.

Was married.

Now I'm not.

Anyway, the ex is on his way
To sign the...

Whatever.

But it looks like
He has blown me off.

- well, it's just as well.
He would've changed his mind.

- oh, ho ho.
Nice try.

Maybe it'll feel normal
Someday.

- do you believe in fate?
- wow, was that a line?

- it's a question.
- [laughs]

- takes the edge off picking up
Strangers in bars.

- I'm 29.

I'm nearly divorced,
Recently orphaned.

More recently out of a job.

My life is kind of at
This unexpected turning point,

So, yeah...
I do believe in fate.

And I believe
She's a fickle, fickle bitch.

- you seem broken.
- [chuckles]

- I like that.

- and you're a fixer.
- no.

- yeah.
- no.

I tend to make things much
Worse, and then I disappear.

- well...At least you're decent
Enough to be honest about it.

You don't see that much.

- oh, you must be a lawyer.
- schoolteacher.

- right, you're a schoolteacher,
And I'm a decent guy.

So--
- yeah.

- cheers to honesty.

- hey, cheers, yeah.
[chuckles]

[clears throat]
And good night.

- is truth the way
To your heart?

Withdrawn...Counselor.
I misspoke.

We have not yet established
That you have a heart.

- the way to my heart
Would be

To do everything
And to say nothing.

No negotiation,
No foreplay, no strategy.

Just be who you are
And take me.

Too late.

[elevator dings]

- excuse me, excuse me.

- excuse me.

Are you the mediator?

- um...Yeah, that's me.

- reed & reed
Came very highly recommended.

My grandfather and I just wanted
To get here a little early,

So someone could answer
Our questions.

- you wanted to get here.
I'm doing this for her.

- sam...

Um, you were saying that
While you were employed

At manwaring,
They knowingly exposed you

To harmful chemicals--
Vinyl chloride--

- right.

- which then led you
To getting sick.

And now you're asking
For $3 million?

- ridiculous.

- that company made you sick,
And they knew about it.

They should pay.
- "They," "They," "They."

They were my friends.

Guys on the line,
Guys in the suits.

We raised our kids together.

George algers
Came to my wedding.

We had lunch together
On the line

Once a week
For 35 years.

- algers?

- his old boss
Runs the company now.

I don't think they've even
Spoken in, what, ten years?

- I got the short end
Of the cancer stick, all right?

Doesn't mean you go to court.

- he's from
A different generation.

You didn't sue people.

And I can appreciate his values,
I really can.

It's what makes him so great.
- hmm.

- but I also wanna help him
Get what's fair.

- the lawyers.

They got one thing
They always put first.

That's themselves.
- yes.

- ask her about the character
Who talked her into all this.

If he's not a scumbag,
I'm a...Damn leprechaun.

- hey, emma, I'm just going
To warn you right now,

This is not gonna go
How you want it to go.

- why?

- because he and I
Agree about lawyers.

- huh.

- I thought you were a lawyer.

- if it's confusing to you,
Imagine how I feel.

- hi, sorry to interrupt.

Lauren mckinnon reed,
Managing partner.

You have a sec, kate?

What are you doing?

- I came in early,
Saw that you had a negotiation,

One of the parties
Had already arrived,

So I just started answering
Their questions.

Since when have you gone
By lauren mckinnon reed?

- I fired you, kate.
- yeah, that was funny.

I've had keys to the building
Since I was 13.

- kate, honey,
While you've been sitting

On your boat
For the last month,

Being impulsive and whimsical,

I have been holding this firm
Together.

You drove your father crazy,
But I don't know.

He tolerated it because I guess
On some level he liked

That his little girl
Never grew up.

- I guess he liked having
Something sweet in his life.

- oh, my god, kate.

I am not your evil stepmother.

God, I never was.
Get over it.

Now tell me...
What do you want?

- I have this fantasy
That if I reached in

And pulled out your hairpins,
Your head would just explode.

- okay.

My brother gave me proxy
Over his share,

So that's makes you and me
Even partners.

- buy me out,
Fair cash value...

[whispering]
I'll go.

Yes?

- I can't buy you out
Right now.

- why?
- because there's no cash.

I can barely pay salaries.

- what?
How did that happen?

- well, four of our biggest
Clients have gone under.

60% of our billable hours now
Are for bankruptcy proceedings.

Kate, I am doing everything
I can to downsize

And drum up new business,
But it's not been enough.

Which is why the last thing
I need right now

Is more chaos.

So please, please
Leave me alone,

And let me do my job.

- cue awkward entrance.

- leo! Aww.

- you're 9:00 a.M.
Is early,

And also kate reed is here.

- thanks for the heads up.

You--you're...

Her-her...
Her assistant?

- we've discussed this
Many times.

You knew that
I was staying on here.

- as a floater.

You said you were floating
Around the office,

Helping all kinds
Of different people.

She's not people!

- you know what?
This is where I floated to.

Randomly, without choosing.

You know what?
Believe me, don't believe me.

That is the truth, and the truth
Is all that matters.

You taught me that.

Slam every door you want.
Can't hide the truth.

- bob.
- lauren.

- ah, it has been too long.

- thank you for handling this
On such short notice.

- oh, it's my pleasure.

The plaintiffs
Are already here, I believe.

They're just waiting
For their attorney.

- he's a piece of work.

His clients opted out
Of the class action against us.

He knows we have
Closing arguments in a few days.

- oh.

So he's betting manwaring

Will be found guilty
In the class action

And that will force you
Into a big settlement with him?

- he's not that smart.

He's just betting we don't need
The distraction right now.

- [laughs] Well,
He's right about that.

- if this goes to trial
And we lose,

Everyone who opted out
Of the class action

Will come against us.

Needs to be handled
Quickly and quietly,

Which is why I thought
Of reed & reed.

- well, thank you.

I'm sure that we can help.

Now, bob, um, ahem.

There is another little piece
Of business

That I wanted to discuss
With you.

- I know all about it.

You need a bailout,

And you're hoping I can get
Peabody bright to partner up.

- I'm looking
At a few scenarios.

- get rid
Of this nuisance for me,

And we'll talk.

Teddy started
A blue chip firm here.

It'd be a shame to let
It slide into the fog.

Kate reed!

- bob.
- [laughing]

- oh, mahoney.

- can you knock this negotiation
Out for me today?

- oh, I have it covered.
- no, let kate do it.

Nobody's better
At the win-win.

It'll be an easy one.

- does he know?
- know what?

- about...
- uh--

- how busy...
- that--

- lauren is?
- uh, no, I'm not that busy.

- but my schedule
Is completely open.

But, hey, you are the boss,
Lauren mckinnon reed.

- uh, yes.
Of course.

Just you know, don't...
Mess it up.

- oh, great!

- let's get this done.
- yes, of course.

- hmm, ms. Reed.
- yes?

- this is our attorney,
Ben grogan.

- do you two know each other?

- you fickle bitch.

- he's not talking to me.

- the timing of this whole claim
Is no accident.

- of course it's not
An accident, pally.

Your client's about
To be found guilty

In a $53 million
Class action suit

Based on the exact same set
Of facts as our case.

- yes, the same suit
Mr. Childs opted out of

Because he didn't see
The merit.

- until I advised him and
His exceptional granddaughter

That if they chose
To reconsider,

They would be entitled
To compensation

In a separated claim.

- unless my client
Is found not guilty--

In which case
You have no case at all--

Because as you say it's
All based on the same facts.

- exactly!

Are you gonna say
Anything ever,

Or are we paying you
To just sit there

And look distracted?

- I just like to tire you out,
Run the stink off.

Sam, what do you want
From all of this?

- manwaring gave me my pension

And paid me a good wage
For 41 years.

- they done give you tumors,
Sam.

Tooo-mers!
That's a waste of a good word.

Toomers could be a candy!
- who are you?

- in spite
Of my client's nobility,

Manwaring were negligent,

And the class action suit
Will prove me right.

- okay, all right.

In case any of this
Is confusing to you,

Let me explain it.

The facts in your case
Don't matter.

Your $3 million claim
Is nothing but a side bet

On the bigger
$53 million claim.

- the facts always matter.

- oh, bobby, come on.

Let's just call it
What it is.

Any offer you make
Has nothing to do

With a fair compensation
For a loss.

It's how much you're willing
To pay to get this...

Side bet taken off the table.

- I disagree.

And I don't believe
We've made any offer yet.

- you will,
Because you can't be sure

Of the outcome
Of your big case.

So just say the number.

- $150,000.
- oh!

Bobby, please.
Can we just skip the dance?

What is the real number?

- $350,000.

And he signs a nondisclosure

And forfeits all rights
To future claims.

- does that mean
They're saying that they knew

We were exposed
To vinyl chloride?

- no, they're not admitting
To anything.

- think of it as
A goodwill gesture

From a company that
Appreciates dedicated service.

- do not think of it
Like that at all.

Sam, sam.
[chuckles]

They're paying you to go away.

- how is this mediating?

- if anyone here deserves
A straight shot, it's sam.

- it's a good offer, grandpa.

- why would they pay me if
They didn't do anything wrong?

- the point is
They're paying you.

- minute ago,
You wanted $3 million.

Now, all of sudden,
350,000 makes sense to you?

- hmm.
- scumbag.

- oh, I'll be any kind
Of bag you want, sam,

But preferably the kind you use
To carry around the $350,000

You didn't have a moment ago.

- okay, sam, it's way less
Than they'd have to pay you

If they were lying, and way more
Than they'd have to pay you

If they're not lying.

- what does that mean?
- welcome to the middle.

So again, what do you want?

- if they didn't do
Anything wrong,

Forget the money.

- numquam pecuniae
Obliviscere.

Never forget the money.
Very old saying.

- they did do something wrong.

Please just sleep on it.

- you are a more principled man
Than me, mr. Childs.

I admire you.

Shall we consider this closed,
Kate?

- [scoffs] I'm sorry,
I have to go.

- ms. Reed, you are the only one
In this room

That has no reason
To lie to my face.

- gotta love this room.

- how do I know
If they lied to me?

Do I gotta go to court?

- sam, I hate court,
And I really hate trials.

If you want the truth,

You're never gonna find it
In this room.

- then I guess I want a trial.

- this is a mistake, sam.

- always leaving, katie.

I'd have to say
That's my new favorite trait.

- [sighs]

- justin.
- hi.

- hi. What happened?

- well, I got jumped
When I was walking to meet you.

I was, like, two blocks away.

- jumped?
- yeah.

- and this is when
You tell me, the next day?

- well, I was gonna call you and
Tell you while it was happening,

But it was a little hard
To dial the phone

And protect my face
At the same time.

- who did this?

- I don't know,
A couple of guys.

One of them got away.
It's no big deal.

It's like a broken rib.

- well it serves you right
For standing me up.

What'd you do,
Did you give them your, um...

Your left hook?
- yeah.

- or your right crossover?
- ow.

- no, no, don't make me laugh.
It's way too painful.

- okay, all right, sorry.
- aw. [winces]

- they give you any drugs?

- no, they gave me
A morphine button.

But they're releasing me
Today.

I don't like to be fuzzy.
- no.

- you're not a fuzzy guy.
- no.

- you're very, um...
Black and white and in focus

And...
- yeah.

Oh, okay.

- why didn't we work out?
- oh, kate, honey, not now.

- no, please,
I can't talk about our divorce

Until I talk about
Our marriage.

- we gotta move on.

I don't wanna
Rehash this anymore.

What are you doing?
Hey. Ow.

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

Wha--hey! Come on!

- aw.
- seriously?

- yeah.

- ahh, god.

- oh, it's nice.
Right?

- here we go.
[exhales]

- it's nice to be fuzzy.

- fuzzy.
Nice.

- justin,
Was it all my fault?

Did I...
Come in the door leaving?

- oh, kate,
This is so unfair.

Maybe it was a thousand
Little things that we both did.

You know,
The doctrine of small harms

Says that a thousand paper cuts
Is far more damaging

Than one big wound.

- you're, like, the only guy
I know who talks about the law

Even when he's high.

- [chuckles]

You know, sometimes
I did feel like

You held a part of yourself
Back from me.

From everyone maybe.

I never had all of you.

- what does that mean?

- fuzzy has spoken.
- no! No, no, no.

No, fuzzy.
Fuzzy, please.

Justin, you're not
Really sleeping, are you?

- I'm just closing my eyes
So as to hear you better.

- [whispers] I think
I still love you a little bit.

Oh, don't you judge me.

- kate.

You wanted me to keep my job.

- yes, and is it better
To give people what they want

Or what they need,
Leonardo?

- kate, if you are working
Here again,

I would very much like to be
Your assistant.

- get out!

Leo!

Why can't I move on?

I'm like an alley cat.

- or an asteroid.

- why do I keep coming back
To this place?

You know, I thought it was
Lawyers that I didn't like,

But now I'm starting to think
Maybe it's just people.

- you love people.
- but I hate conflict.

- you love conflict.
- you're terrible at this.

- it's your favorite movie.

You're constantly
Searching for home,

But you can't get what you want
Without going down

The yellow brick road.

This...
Is your journey.

- but those were all lies

'cause dorothy had the shoes
The whole time!

[upbeat music]

*

[banging]

- you!

You are kali, the goddess
Of dissolution and destruction.

- what are you doing here?

- it smells like propane
In here.

Can I have some coffee?

- what!
You can't have anything!

- I...Had a settlement
On the table.

And now, thanks to you,

That angry old crow
Wants to go to trial.

You've gotta get mahoney's
Offer back on the table.

- look, sam wants
To go to trial,

And that's your thing
Anyway, isn't it?

"Uh, excuse me,
Mr. Judge--"

- trial is not my thing,
Winning is.

This case is a dog.
- overruled!

Yeah, but if
The class action wins--

- looky! $350,000
Was all the money

That company was ever gonna
Pay out to sam childs.

And you made taking seem like

Solving a frickin'
Rubik's cube to him.

- I wanted him to understand
What they were offering.

Sam doesn't want the money
If he can't have the truth.

- he's never gonna get
The truth.

And now, thanks to you,
He's never gonna get the money.

The guy's got medical bills
Up to his eye-teeth,

And...You convinced him to trade
His cash cow for magic beans.

Nice job.
- I was trying to help!

- I know.
Your mouth's like a gun.

You should watch
Where you point that thing.

- is money all you care about?
- yes!

It's all I ever care about.

I know how to maximize
A situation.

It's what I do.

You need to get the offer
Back on the table, katie.

- kate!

- you're the mediator.

It's not done until
You certify it's done.

If we leave right now,

We can still catch mahoney
At the courthouse.

Thank you for the propane high.
I will drive.

- fine.
But I'm not driving with you.

I'm taking a cab.
- a cab?

Are you kidding?

We'll barely make it
Across the bridge as it is.

- I don't have a car.

- I can't believe I liked you
In that bar.

I'm gonna get a tattoo
Across the inside of my eyelids

That says, "Do not trust
First impressions."

- you know what, I've got
An even better idea.

Why don't you put it on your
Forehead for the rest of us?

- it figures
You live on a boat.

- it figures you think
This is the time for us to chat.

- first rule of humanity:

People are usually
What they appear to be.

I'm very good at this, karen.
- kate.

- you live on a boat 'cause
You're afraid of commitment.

- [laughs]

- and you wear $500 shoes,
But you won't spend ten bucks

To fix a leaky seal
On a propane stove,

Which says "Old money,"
Like the bent-over biddies

Up on nob hill
Yell at their jamaican nurses

For stealing soap
And lightbulbs.

- all right, first of all,
Easy.

I don't have time
To fix a stove.

And second of all...

You smell new.

Your car smells new.
Your clothes smell new.

Everything about you feels
Like somebody just dumped

Enchanted cheap
Aftershave lotion

On the "What to wear" section
Of details magazine,

And then all of a sudden--
Poof--you appeared.

- I like nice things.
- all right, that's it.

Look at me, look at me.
- I'm driving.

- look at me!

I will talk to mahoney,

And I will get the settlement
Back on the table.

Then you can go to sam
And convince him

To just forget
About the truth.

Because you are probably
Really, really good at that.

And then you can go back
To be a living example

Of everything I can't stand.

And, yes, I live on a boat
Because it's my father's.

And he's dead.

- so...

You're afraid of commitment,
And you're stuck in the past.

- unbelievable.

What are you doing?

- wait.

- why are you making that face?

- 23rd highest-grossing attorney
In the city,

And there are no associates.
But it sounds cooler.

- oh, my--

- well, come on, look.
It's me.

- hi, superman.

- ooh, watch this,
Watch this, watch...

- there he--did he kick?
Damn!

Damn!
- nice.

- there he is in person,
Gentlemen.

Keeping our streets safe
One dumbass at a time.

Police were kind enough

To share some security camera
Footage with us.

Look at that.

All: ooh!
[laughing]

- way to turn things around,
Huh?

- wait, this is
My favorite part.

Boom!
Down goes frazier.

Hey!
- ooh!

- you never mentioned
You were a superhero.

- I wasn't exactly thinking
Things through at the time.

- maybe you should go
With your gut more often.

This is too good.
This is perfect timing.

- yeah, reelection.

- hey, hey, hey.
- you got it in the bag, aaron.

- hey, the police have a lead
On the guy that ran away.

Press conference at 1:00.
I want you there.

We're gonna make a meal
Out of this.

- whoa, you can't release
That video, aaron.

I did what I had to do,
But I'm not proud of it.

I'll be lucky
Not to get sued.

- it's up to you.
I'll see you at 1:00.

- how much coffee
Do you drink?

- I don't know,
How much coffee is there?

- that's george algers,
Ceo of manwaring.

Guy's gotta be worth
At least 30 mil.

Believe me, there is
An amount of money

That would make sam
Happy enough for both of you

To forget about whatever

Navel-gazing moral issue
He might have.

- like whether or not
He was lied to

By the people who will be
Responsible for his death?

- there is a number.
- I can't believe this!

Three weeks I spent
On this god damn--

Like it's my fault.

- what's up?

- the judge is excusing
A juror--exposure.

- tell me you're not
A little...Curious.

- excuse me.
Excuse me, sir--

- I just wasted three weeks
For nothing.

- you were on the, uh,

The manwaring class action
Jury, right?

I--I've been following it.

Heh, I know someone involved.
I...

- we both do.
What's the mood in there?

- oh, you're lawyers.

- no, no, no.
Not really.

- I can't talk
About the case.

Judge washburn was
Very specific in his orders.

- what?
- okay, excuse me, look.

I don't want you to get
In trouble with the judge.

All right? We can do this so
That you don't break any rules.

- mm.
- how?

- the reason that
You were excused--

Was it because you were exposed
To something

That affected your ability
To make a fair judgment?

- the judge said
I couldn't discuss it

Because it was based on evidence
That hadn't been presented

To the court.
- a-ha!

- so this thing--
- don't interrupt me.

But I know where you're
Going with this.

- don't interrupt me!
- this is good.

- so the judge said
You could not discuss the case.

But whatever you saw or heard
Wasn't part of the case--

- wasn't part
Of the case at all.

- so then you can tell us.

The guy was excused
Because he went

Into the downstairs men's room
On a break--

- instead of the jury-only
Men's room.

- and he overheard
One of the plaintiff's attorneys

Talking about a witness
Who wasn't gonna testify.

So then he was upset.

- they're upset
Because this witness,

An executive assistant
With the initials d.L.--

L.D.R.
- l.B.!

- s.
- it's l.B.

L.B.
What, are you kidding me?

You can't remember
Two letters?

L.B.! L.B.!
L.B.!

- dyslexic half-jew
In catholic school.

Forged the superman
You see today.

This witness saw a memo
Citing an in-house test

Stating the vinyl chloride
Levels in the factory

Where sam worked
Were dangerous

Two years before they notified
Anybody about the problem.

- and the memo was addressed

To a vice president
Of manufacturing,

Mr. George algers,
Who then went on to become

The present-day ceo.

- if we check
The court filing,

We should be able to get
A name off the witness lists.

- mm.
- wow! Um...

So I guess you didn't stick
Around to see mahoney.

- well, it didn't make any sense
To negotiate

Until after we found out more
About the memo.

- and you didn't get my message
About lauren?

- what message about lauren?

- well...She's behind you.

That's not the message,
But she's behind you.

And that just seems like

The most important thing
To say right now.

- so the mediation is back on?
- uh, not yet.

But we may have found
A witness

Who can screw mahoney
To the wall.

- you're working together...

To screw bob mahoney...

To a wall?

Can I see you
For a second, kate?

- [clears throat]

- what does she do around here?

- when teddy was alive,

He used to call her r2-d2.

Because she is who you call
When the garbage chute

Is about to close.

She's brilliant.

And she used to be
A serious porn star.

That last part's untrue,
But you believed it, right?

It's like a vibe.

- we need a new way
To work together, kate,

Because we can't
Do this anymore.

- really?

'cause I love our rut.

- 1:00, the herford golf club.

We have a lunch reservation
With bob,

And you are going to apologize

For turning an otherwise
Straightforward--

And I might add generous--
Settlement offer

Into another trial
For manwaring.

- what if they're guilty?

- okay, kate, I can't stop
You from coming back here,

But I can ask you not
To make things worse.

If we do not get a partner,
We are going under.

- well, it seems to me we hit
The skids just about the time

My dad died
And you took over.

- [laughs]

All right.
[clears throat]

You don't want to hear this,

But I have been running
Reed & reed for a few years now.

- [laughing]
- yes.

Your dad knew
He was losing his edge.

He ran the meetings...
- okay.

He topped the masthead,
But he trusted me

With almost everything else.
- [scoffs]

- and those were the good years
Before the bubble burst.

- all right, whatever.
He would've told me.

- oh, god, no way!

You are the last person
He would have told.

He knew how stubborn
You could get

When you dug in on something.

God, that's exactly what
He did when I told him

We had to diversify
The client base.

- if only we reeds did
Everything you wanted us to do

All the time, then everything
Would work out perfectly.

- I'd settle for once in a while
With you.

Kate, listen...

Mahoney is our only chance.

I need your help.

- you see george algers?

I have lunch and play golf
With him twice a week.

He trusts me, not only
With his corporate accounts

But with his personal as well.

And when I tell him I'll
Take care of something, I do.

- well, that's the only way
To do business.

- if we were
To acquire reed & reed...

- uh, heh...
"Acquire"?

- we can call
It whatever you want,

But let's not pretend
It's not a shotgun wedding.

And after this negotiation,

If you're going
To work with me,

I can't have
Any more surprises.

- [slurping]

Look, the negotiation
Went the way it did

Because nobody had bothered to
Ask mr. Childs what he wanted.

- I'll tell you, kate,
The words "I'm sorry"

Carry a lot of meaning
With me.

- right.

Bob, I truly believe that
The sum of our two firms

Will be greater than the whole.

- teddy was a good friend,
But let's be honest.

When he died, so did most
Of reed & reed's value.

Everyone appreciates the effort
You've made to fill his shoes,

But I have to say, the only
Above-average asset left

Is the building.

- you know what, bob?

I think we still have
One more asset.

- [gasps]
- um...

Surprises.

- [scoffs]

- sorry.

- [clears throat]
You know what?

[chuckles]

I don't think our partnership
Is gonna work out, bob.

Because, mark my words,

I will find a way
To bring this firm back.

And then we are going to roll
Over you like a hurricane.

- are you using a key
To unlock your door?

- I know, I'm old-school.

The batteries
On my remote went dead,

And I decided
I like this better.

- right.

- I'm george.

- yeah, I know who you are.

Kate.
We, um--

We actually have a connection.

My mother used to work for you
At the manwaring rubber plant.

That was always her big joke,

"I work
At this giant rubber plant."

- I'm familiar with the joke.
- [laughs]

- what was her name?

- oh, you wouldn't know her,
She worked on the line.

But she was lunch buddies
With an executive's assistant.

Um, oh, god,
What was the name?

The initials l.B.--
I, uh--

- lorraine brody?

- lorraine brody, that's it!
Lorraine brody.

- she was my assistant.
Lovely lady.

- she was your assistant?

Oh, wow, okay.

Yeah, I was a big fan of hers.
- oh.

- anyway, it was nice
To meet you.

- you too.
- yeah.

- say hello to your mother.

- she died.

15 years ago.

Cancer.

Take care.

- of course
I remember the memo.

How could you forget
Something like that?

- oh, thank you.
- mm-hmm.

- so then,
Why won't you testify?

- it's not that I don't want to.

It's that
What I remember won't matter

Once they're through with me.

- but it will.
- [sighs]

- mrs. Brody,
You are the only person alive

Who can stand up
And say that george algers

Knew about the vinyl chloride.

- I don't know
If he knew or not.

I simply saw a memo,
And I put it on his desk.

And...

Well, you wouldn't understand.

- tell me.

- I was a young woman then.

I was just married, and--

But I was still trying
To work things out, you know?

And I didn't always make
The right choices,

And there was a--
An infidelity.

And the manwaring lawyer said
He's going to bring all that up

And use it against me.

- right.

But that was something
That happened 40 years ago,

And I believe that the jury
Still needs to hear the truth.

- there's another reason.

I was the one
Who destroyed the memo

And all the carbon copies.

I shredded them.

But I'm not going
To jail for it.

- but if george algers
Told you to destroy the memo--

- george didn't
Tell me anything.

He didn't have to.

- that justice is served quickly
And fairly for every person

In this city,
Is always my first priority.

We've already pressed charges
Against one of the men

Who attacked ada justin patrick.

And chief brody has already

Told me that we have a lead
On the second suspect, so...

My office gets the job done.

And this will certainly
Be no exception.

That's all I got.

- ada patrick,
Can you comment on the video?

- uh, what video?

- you haven't seen the video?

- no, no, I--I think that my ada
Might have missed it

While he was recovering
From beating the crap

Out of his attackers.

All right, let's go here, champ.

- mm-hmm.

[reporters shouting questions]

- sir! Sir!
Can we just ask you...

[water lapping, birds calling]

[phone line ringing]

- kate reed's office.
- hey.

Do you know anyone who has
An old electric typewriter

From the '70s?

- do you mean, do I know
A man in his mid-40s

That made way too much money
At an internet start-up

And paid to have his high school
Bedroom recreated

Down to the very last detail,

Including a tv that plays
Love boat reruns?

- so that's a yes?

- hi.
- ah.

The mystery lady returns.

Back for another walk
Down memory lane?

- [laughs]
- bob told me who you are.

- oh, cool, all right.

I guess, uh, I guess we can
Just skip the hellos then.

Hey, guess what?

I brought you something.

It's a carbon from a memo
That you received 35 years ago.

I guess they forgot
To destroy the carbon.

- that was a long time ago.

I didn't know carbons
Kept that well.

- yeah.
Yeah, let's see here.

Uh, "George, iht."

I'm guessing that's
"In-house testing."

"Has determined that
The vc levels,"

Vinyl...Well, come on.
You know.

"The vc levels
Are above acceptable levels

"At multiple points
Along the production line.

How shall we proceed?"

- I have never seen
That memo before...

Or anything like it.
It doesn't exist.

- you know, that's funny because
I thought the same thing.

But do you know where
It does exist?

Lorraine brody's memory.

She remembers every word.

But I guess
You already knew that

Since you kept her
Out of court.

- so what is this?

"The $1 million bluff"?

You're wasting your time.

- oh, george, the bluff
Doesn't have to be that good

'cause sam doesn't
Want any money.

People hear a story like this,

And they always ask,
"How do you live with yourself?"

You're gonna get off,
The company's gonna get off,

And you know what?

Maybe you really don't remember
A memo.

But I bet you remember
A feeling.

And it's the same feeling you've
Had for the last 35 years.

- I barely knew the man.

- that's not how
He remembers it.

He remembers having lunch
With his boss once a week.

You were a--
A pretty big deal to him.

I'm gonna leave
You two men to talk.

He wants to know
What really happened,

And that might cost you
A lot of money somewhere else,

But not here.

No testimony, no briefs,
No courtroom, no lawyers.

Just two men...

And the trees.

- did your mother really die?

- yeah.

But not because of you.

- sweet jesus,
Tell me he's wearing a wire.

- nope!
- anyone read lips?

- "Did you knowingly expose me
To cancer-causing chemicals

And then lie about it?"

"Yeah, sorry about that."

- you learn to block it out.

- oh, kate, please.
It's not funny, it's tragic.

It goes juliet's suicide,
Barry bonds, and then this.

- if algers didn't know
About the memo,

Then sam can die
With his world view intact.

And if he did, then
He can just get the one thing

That means the most
To him right now.

- you're not going to say,
"$3 million," are you?

- [groans]
- sam's not dead yet, katie.

What he needs is money
To stay alive.

Closing arguments in
The class action are tomorrow,

And we're gonna get nothing.

You know what?

I'm unsatisfied!

And that is my least favorite
Feeling of all time.

- ooh.

- mediation, kate reed-style.

- okay, now I'm
A little satisfied.

- sam?

- thank you, ms. Reed.

I want to go home now.

- sam doesn't seem
That satisfied.

[elevator dings]

- aaron.

I got a call they delayed
The lineup.

- they got a confession.

The suspect's name
Is horatio corra.

- can I see the file?

- they got him for a bar fight
The night he came after you.

Guess he was nursing his ego
After you got lucky with him.

- oh, so now
I got lucky with him.

- hey.

- hey, how does he
Spell his name?

- uh, name, corra.
- yeah, see, that isn't the guy.

That's not him.
- sure, it's the guy.

- he was as close to me
As you are, that's not him.

- if it turns out
To be the wrong guy,

We'll sort it out, okay?

But for now,
He's just the name

Of a suspect
Who says he's the guy.

He changes his tune,
You say he's not the guy,

He goes free.
- yeah, sure he does.

After you milk this
For all it's worth.

I'm just saying,
That's not him, man.

- all right,
That's the name

You're gonna give the press,
You got it?

I don't care if you want
To ride this hero bit

For all it's worth,
But you work for me,

You do what I say,
You carry my flag.

And try to smile this time.

All right, fellas.
All right, I'm gonna need you.

- I'd like to announce that
There is a second suspect

In custody from the incident
Behind columbus avenue.

- did you catch him yourself?

[crowd chuckling]

- the suspect's name, um...

The suspect's name
Is unimportant.

He's one of hundreds--
Nearly 600 by my count--

That's how many criminals
I've put behind bars

Since I started this job,
Many of whom would have

An excellent reason
To come after me.

But this is a job that I love,
And this is a job

That I am not gonna
Stop doing.

[camera shutters clicking]

I'm announcing my candidacy for
The office of district attorney

Of the city of san francisco.

Now I'm gonna smile.

[reporters shouting questions]
Yes.

Go ahead, sorry.
This is a decision...

- hola, george.
I did some more digging.

Did you know that
Lorraine brody is sick too?

I guess she opted out, like sam.

Hey, how's your jaw,
By the way?

- I'm late.
- oh, right, closing arguments.

Okay, this is only going
To take a second.

Look, I was thinking
About how mahoney knew

About the infidelity
As a young woman,

And how she destroyed
Those documents for you

Without even being asked.

- there were
No documents destroyed.

- well, then how would mahoney
Know about the affair?

See, I'm guessing, out
Of all the people that got sick,

Lorraine was the only one
Who loved you

Because you were the affair.

Well, guess what?

It took her 40 years
And a little push,

But she's over it.

And she's sitting in that cab
Right over there, see?

So...

You can take the stand
And tell the truth,

Or she'll do it for you.

Algers is gonna testify
That he saw the memo,

And the company will be
Liable for everything.

- how did you do it?

- look, lorraine was never
Gonna take the stand,

But she sure didn't mind
Getting into a cab.

Looks like you and sam are going
To be making lots of money.

- you know, for someone
Who loves the middle,

You spend an awful lot
Of time at the extremes.

- who ever said
I like the middle?

I like helping people
Get what they need.

- you got lucky, you know.

This is the last time
Reed & reed

Ever try to do
The right thing for free.

I get the occasional good deed,
But you're diluting the brand.

- why do you care about
The reed & reed brand?

- I like nice things.

- you have obviously had
Some substantial success

At such a young age,
Mr. Grogan.

- I'm your age.

- but this is
An established firm

With roots, history.

[clears throat]
Well, you have my attention.

But this number doesn't
Take into account

The name recognition
Of reed & reed.

Aha.

And there's some substantial
Delayed income receivables

That don't show up
On the balance sheet.

This one's less.

- that's right.

- you can't go down.

Okay, okay.
No--

Is good,
I think we have a deal.

- put it there, partner.

- hey, come in.

- I brought glasses
'cause yours are gross.

- are we celebrating?
- mm-hmm.

You tell me, candidate patrick.

I heard about
The press conference.

- [sighs]

Well, I must say,

I am as surprised as you are.
- mm.

- but it was
The right thing to do.

Someone's got
To stand up to this guy.

- mm.

- so--
- mm-hmm.

- to improving the system.

- to working around
The system.

- course.

- do you remember...

Anything from the hospital?

- you know, strangely,
It's a big blur.

- ah, I knew it.

[sighs]

Look, I'm not saying that we
Don't sign the divorce papers.

What if we just gave it
A little bit more time?

Look, I've been thinking
About what you said

About holding back.

I don't trust the things
That come easy to me.

I never have.

Probably because it doesn't
Happen very often.

But when it does,
It's almost like

I don't deserve them.

And you came easy.

And that scares me.

And I can't bear the thought
Of not deserving you.

So...

I'm sorry it took
Us splitting up

For me to have
The courage to say this.

To moving forward.

Clean slate.

- clean slate.
- yes.

- [chuckles]
Okay.

If we're going
To move forward...

- yes.

- then there's something
I need to tell you.

- okay.

- uh...

Hmm, kate...

I slept with another woman
While we were married.

It was when things
Were at their worst,

It was one night, it didn't--

Kate! Hey!

- I think you need
To learn to drive.

- never.

- I downloaded
Driving miss daisy last night.

Been a while.

And you know what?

It's like toothpaste
Out of a tube,

I cannot put back what I saw.

Hey.

I'm sorry about justin.

- you know how they say,

"It's all the little things
That do you in"?

I just think
They haven't lived long enough.

[crying]
Oh...Leo.

I know I'm...

Stuck.

And I should be
On my journey, but...

[chuckles]
You know what they say...

"Some journeys are
Best left delayed."

- no, that's wrong.

Nobody's ever said that.

- I said that.

[gasps]
- oh!

- oh, my god, my boat!

Are you just gonna sit there?

- I told you to fix
That stove.

[whimpers]
