Original subtitles

What preceded...

I am your attendant.

I want to work in pairs.

Daniel.

The statements...

are transferred by the plaintiffs themselves.

I think of my mother.

He abused her.

I have only inseminated women where in vitro failed.

He did not intoxicate and rape...

but you are just as disgusting as other rapists.

What about the damage claim?

We're talking to Dr. Peterson's insurance...

How much do we expect? - 15 million dollars.

Awesome.

You're not a good person, Lucy.

Rotten to the bone.

This has cost me a lot.

You took advantage of the opportunity...

and betray me.

And you didn't want to sleep with her?

I'm not saying that.

Shall we do couples therapy?

How much money do you get for that group case?

I have to go. Meeting.

Come on.

How much for the group case?

Forty?

Fifty? - Something like that.

You're already out of here.

What do you buy first? A house in Whistler? A Ferrari?

I ordered a Tesla.

Naturally. Can you draw this for me?

"Forty under 40."

I think you should be elected for this...

don't ask for it.

Oh yeah?

Then appointed me.

I gave you a hint. - It does not feel right.

You know what's not good?

Telling my boss that you first accept and then decline.

Are you still blaming me for that?

It continues to take its toll.

Turn around.

I was just three weeks into law school...

I rode the motorcycle across campus...

when suddenly an incredibly sexy woman...

walked in front of my wheels with her nose in a book.

I swerved and slammed into a pole.

It was "Let Us Worship" by Ann-Marie MacDonald.

I just kept reading.

I'm lying on the ground, my bike in the creases.

I didn't realize anything.

I saw that poor guy lying on the floor...

so I stopped to help and saw how nice he was.

Or was it the other way around...

you saw how nice i was and came to my rescue.

Lead for old iron.

What matters is that I took care of you.

I was teased for seeing an older woman.

Eleven months. We are only 11 months apart.

But I had to keep up with her.

She had so much...

pure energy.

It was contagious.

She drank everyone under the table...

but was brilliant.

The night before the final exam...

she stole all the real estate billboards...

and barred the school door.

I have to believe him because I forgot.

How often did you drink until you forgot everything?

I was a party animal, but had the best grades in my class.

When did you know you had an alcohol addiction?

That first Christmas together with my parents.

Oh come on.

We were in a house with your family for a whole week.

It's a wonder I didn't take any drugs.

You called my mom "mother"...

took off your bikini in the Jacuzzi...

and lay naked in the snow.

Now that I look back on it...

I see it has always been a problem.

I thought she would get over it.

I like Dr. Hailu.

She is intuitive.

Sofia has volleyball after school and Nico...

To play chess. I know.

Do we see each other after work?

I don't know if I have time.

Okay. Text me. - I will.

Thank you for this.

It's going better.

Hi. - Thanks for your email yesterday.

My father and I look forward to the meeting tomorrow.

Maybe we can get more...

with a lawsuit, but that's a gamble.

A settlement provides security.

We'll get a lot of money with the settlement, won't we?

We're thinking something like six figures...

for each group member...

but wait for it to be paid out.

Is he coming here for the meeting?

Dr. Doug?

Why don't you have an early lunch tomorrow?

Thanks, Jerry.

Can you sign here please?

Now that your name is on the door...

don't you greet anymore?

You're too late. The customer arrives at 10 am.

Three o'clock...

for a divorce agreement.

What is this?

40 under 40.

It's for the city's most promising...

the best and the smartest.

Not for kids who buy penis statues...

to prove their authority.

It is a study of experience...

on the border of the individual...

It's a penis.

If you didn't already know...

Harry still has the biggest here.

Did you see it?

Svensson and Svensson.

Your Svensson is smaller.

Not true.

Who hasn't made new coffee?

I'm sorry you broke up.

Not true. - No, I'm not sorry.

But I don't enjoy your sadness.

Or your grumpiness.

I am going to drink coffee.

Cordelia. -Harrison.

You look good. - Still as charming.

Would you like to wait in the conference room?

She is older than your mother.

My client wants to keep the house.

Mrs. Chalifour hands over her portion to him.

She waives alimony.

Wait a second.

You stayed home with your daughters for the first ten years...

and you've only made more than Mr. Ramos since last year.

Mrs. Bianchi just discovers the file.

How can you think...

that our client waives alimony?

She has already agreed.

Give up the house? Mr. Ramos keeps the new car?

With this deal, he gets everything and our client gets nothing.

She leaves me.

That's her right, Mr. Ramos.

For a cult.

She's leaving me for a cult.

Ever since she got into that "LIFT" thing...

has she become someone else?

A healthier person.

I am more confident and independent.

Obsessed yes.

You're talking about nothing else.

Because that's my job and I love it.

You cannot bear that I earn more than you.

He wants a part of it...

and the house and the car.

Our marriage came first.

Our family.

Now you only think about your training.

Just because I don't want to hang out on the couch all the time...

to eat chips and watch TV.

OK, calm down...

it's not about the past...

but about a divorce agreement...

that works for both.

Well said Mr Svensson.

It's fine for us.

Yes, of course.

Our client has conceded on every point.

She is right. I won't be fooled anymore, Efren.

I want a new deal.

What have you done?

You have to protect your client.

I do what she asks.

The bad lawyer's slogan.

They have two young daughters.

Maybe they want to settle this...

to save their children? - And how is it...

if the mom comes out as the bad guy...

whether the father waltzes over her?

Cecil.

I know people who appreciate LIFT.

Perhaps Efren's demand is nothing...

but we have to be sure.

Find everything about a company called LIFT.

That carpool service?

No L-I-F-T.

Lifestyle Improvement and Fitness Training.

And you go to a coaching session with Sabine.

During that claim?

I don't have time to hop around. That's more for you.

The settlement isn't until tomorrow.

If it goes to court...

what would be your fault...

then you hear Cordelia use the s-word again.

Sect, Cecil. S for sect.

SVENSSON & SVENSSON FAMILY LAW

What are you doing? - Nothing.

Alice called.

She canceled reading club in El Guapo.

Do you know why?

There were double bookings.

I was so in the mood for their fish tacos.

Jerry, what are you doing tonight?

I can't tonight.

I'm going to the theater with Eleanor and the kids...

the two to come.

Yummy, Mexican.

Anything spicy.

I once won a chili competition.

Then I had to take a day off.

And one more time.

Feel your hip muscles stretch.

Abigail.

On the other hand.

Nice to have you here.

A beautiful day to discover LIFT.

We're doing an obstacle course.

I'm just coming to watch.

Make sure we're not a cult?

I know.

Efren is really ridiculous.

But you're not getting rid of me. You must try.

It's delicious.

You can do it.

Not really.

Don't let that little voice fool you. It works.

I'm not the athletic type.

Who says that?

What evidence do you have?

It's in front of you.

Climbing that wall is better than sex.

Look.

No matter how you feel...

I see you climbing over that wall.

I see it as if it has already happened.

See you there.

Fish tacos.

Thank you. - Tasty.

Lucy.

Lucy, wait.

Sorry, I didn't want you to see us with Maggie.

My reading club.

I founded that book club. - We don't want to mess around.

It is also difficult for us.

Everything between you and Maggie.

What connection to the reading club?

Maggie is pregnant and alone...

she needs us more.

Is that Lily Kwan?

She just went public.

Her stock is probably up 90% in the last three days.

A true 'Who's who' from Vancouver's cream of the crop.

Daniel would be so jealous.

Everyone is so engaging and open and sporty.

I am so different from before.

I was stuck.

I was becoming something that wasn't me.

Nate gave me all the tools to become my best self.

Who is Nathan?

The founder of LIFT.

Sabine, can you introduce us to your girlfriend?

This is Abigail Bianchi.

She is one of the best family lawyers...

and mine.

She showed me how my ex used my guilt against me.

I don't have to be ashamed.

Metathesiophobia, fear of change.

People with metaphobia as I say.

If they see us growing, they should...

recognize their own lack of growth.

We all know those kinds of people.

You can't get out of the booth...

that it is yours.

WANT A SNACK?

Abigail?

Can you chop some wood?

I have never done that.

You had never climbed over a wall before.

Like so many things you still...

never did.

WANT A SNACK? - I CAN'T, I WORK.

I looked up to it...

but I felt like Xena Warrior Princes.

And Nate, the founder...

had such insight into my issues.

Can you go too?

For expert advice.

Naturally. - What's that good for?

Why did you send me there?

You are emotionally vulnerable at the moment.

You are roped.

I don't cycle into the mountains...

with guys in spandex shorts...

for a fun Saturday.

But no one has 'understanding my problems'.

Maybe that would be better.

Good morning, Cecile. - You're in a good mood, sir.

We've received a hefty fee...

and also defeated Phil Sterling.

Justice for our Nina?

There is the woman responsible for this success.

Good morning.

I MISSED YOU YESTERDAY. - A LOT OF WORK. SEE YOU LATER

You haven't signed yet.

You don't trust me, do you?

OK, I'll sign it. If I get your room.

Maybe some boxes can come out.

And?

Paint the walls. - And?

A new chair. A good one.

Come on. It's only for six months.

Do you want my autograph?

Good.

Have Harry confirm the renovation.

I am partner.

I don't have to "ask Harry."

What do you think about it?

When she's gone, another colleague can come in.

All right then.

Real? - The money from that group case...

It's none of her business.

Covers more than one coat of paint.

She can get an Eames chair if she wants.

Doctor Peterson and Phil Sterling are here.

Leave them in the conference room. I am coming.

Do you want to be there?

While we wait for the insurance people...

They're not coming.

Dunlop and Federgreen believe my client's actions...

were intentional and so they are not covered.

When I spoke to Dylan Wolcott last week...

there was no problem with Dr. Peterson's demand.

Mr. Wolcott was fired on Friday.

My client wants to settle this and put it behind him.

The group business has 52 members.

$20,000?

All together?

$250 a person for all the pain you've caused?

If you hadn't destroyed my reputation and my clinic...

and revoked my license. - Listen...

you did that yourself by raping your patients.

They got what they wanted and you turned them against me.

The fact is that Dr. Peterson... - 'Mr. Peterson'.

Unable to pay what you demand.

Because of you I am bankrupt.

We can do no more.

You can't pluck from a bald chicken.

How much have we already invested?

356,000 without today's time.

Didn't you have written confirmation of his insurance?

Not a single sign.

I want to at least cover our costs.

Do you hear?

When word gets out about how this firm screwed up a winning case...

Peterson is not bankrupt.

He lives in a luxurious house of 650 square meters.

He has a yacht in Granville Island.

Forget that insurance. We'll take him private.

I don't want to hear from anyone else...

until we get paid. Everyone out.

Out.

Abigail.

Nice of you to come with a friend.

More like a roommate.

Lucy Svenson.

Welcome to archery. Thanks for the reference.

She gets a bonus for every new participant.

That's a first sign.

It looks like a pyramid scheme.

Tons of companies reward references, including our father's.

Dr. Peterson's clinic has been declared bankrupt...

and privately he is on his last 30,000.

His home address in Shaughnessy...

is not in his name. - What?

He lives there.

He's not the owner.

That is 18392048 eg.

Since when? - 2019.

It's worth over 12 million.

Doesn't matter if it's from a shell company.

Six bathrooms, a wine cellar, a home cinema.

Cecil, and that yacht? Is that in his name?

Owned by 78943020 bv.

Just like a home in Tofino.

How many shell companies does that guy have?

Why did I order that Tesla?

And? How did it go?

Can I call my father?

Wait a minute.

We still have a few things to sort out.

The insurance company refuses to pay.

And we can't access his private money...

because it is in shell companies.

If a judge could lift that cover...

So that his personal money is no longer separated...

of all that money in those bogus companies?

Precisely.

That was my book club.

I founded it long before I met Maggie.

Thanks to me they are all friends.

Now they are on her side.

Your anger works well for you.

Was that Alyse's face you saw on the target?

No, mine.

I had everything I wanted and I blew it.

Shoulders, hips, knees above each other.

Pull the tendon up to your cheek...

like a fish on a hook.

Get out of your head. Trust your body.

Feel it.

How would you...

perform at peak power?

"Top power?"

It's just an expression.

That speaks for itself, doesn't it?

He touched you. - He's not like that.

According to Sabine, he practices celibacy.

You don't believe that, do you?

He is a typical cult leader.

This is how they lure women into sexual relationships.

Did you see H im? He doesn't have to lure anyone.

There's a first time for everyone...

and that sucks...

but because of that fear you know that you are going in the right direction.

If you're not a little scared every day...

you are not living enough.

Imagine if everyone present here...

This place has all the elements of a cult, Abby.

Stimulating activities, thought reform...

obedience to an individual leader with a vision.

He's not a hairy troll...

who claims to be the world's smartest man...

or that aliens control our brains.

You are a valuable target for him.

Just wait.

He invites you to a trust group.

Now I've talked enough.

Abigail, can you come with me?

I must say that you...

are incredible.

You rarely meet anyone...

those things work.

I want you on the board.

Can I think about it?

Naturally.

But won't you tell the others, please?

They may feel hurt...

that a newcomer goes first.

You are... very special, Abigail.

So... not a cycling club.

I can't believe I saw nothing.

Intelligence does not protect against susceptibility.

Cult leaders choose smart people for more credibility.

Are we through that cover yet?

I'm working on it, Nina.

Everyone is waiting for you in the conference room.

We propose these changes for the separation agreement.

They are very fair to both parties.

Their 13-year-old daughter Aviva fell asleep at school.

Do you know why?

Because she set her alarm clock to go off every two hours...

to train at night.

She doesn't eat breakfast.

She limits herself to 800 calories a day.

"Discipline and self-control." Do you recognize that?

She saw my diary.

She wasn't supposed to see it. I hid it.

You're sick, Sabine.

You need help.

We are urgently requesting temporary custody of both children.

Efren, wait. I can explain.

Nate set up this program just for me...

Do you hear what you say?

Your dangerous practices and lack of understanding...

endanger your daughters life.

Get out of that horrible group.

Please. - I'm almost at my ideal weight.

I feel good for the first time in my life.

You... just hate that I'm changing.

You suffer from metaphobia.

Cordelia Bernstein is an excellent lawyer.

It's going to be a very tough fight.

I strongly advise you to leave LIFT.

Absolutely not.

You said it yourself.

Efren is punishing me for getting out of a marriage that isn't working.

Or... he's really worried about you.

Sabine...

Nate says what you can eat, how much you can weigh, when you sleep.

I'm not letting Efren ruin my career...

my social network...

You set an alarm clock to train at night.

Those are your social biases.

Follow your fear and let it change you.

Okay, look.

With the wrong judge you can lose your children.

I believe in your peak ability, Abigail.

You can win this.

Cecil, did you find anything on LIFT?

There's nothing online...

just a deleted item...

on a blog.

From a coach at LIFT, like Sabine.

She wants to talk, but not officially and not here.

She will be at the Qaseems Café at 2:00 PM.

Well done.

And the group case?

If you didn't hook up with that cult...

and hung out, you knew it.

Then you take Sabine's case.

You're used to crazy workouts and diets.

That's your problem.

Give me the memos.

I can help you.

How do I convince a judge that he...

lifting the cover.

Evidence that Peterson deliberately hid his money.

Precisely. But he hid it long before you caught him.

I got hold of him...

but was there any research before that?

WHAT IS YOUR ANSWER?

Sorry, I got a text from my cult leader.

Find the class lawsuit email.

We have a question for them.

And that time we held an open house for Christmas.

Around 4:00 p.m., Abby lay in the pit, passed out on the cushions.

Can I have a minute?

What do these stories have about drinking…

to do with our topic?

Well...

it is at the root of our problems and…

Again sorry...

but you both seem to accept this situation.

Abby, the confused soul, you, the tolerant partner...

How intuitive of you, Dr. Hailu.

Let's come back from the past...

to the recent crisis that brought you here...

Frank's affair.

Why affair?

It was once, a year ago.

You still talk to her.

You said our marriage was over.

What I want to know...

is why you continued...

while Abby showed she was willing to fight for you.

You've been sober for nine months...

about that incident at the hotel?

Yes. I went to therapy, AA meetings.

Frank, why did you see that woman...

while you were trying to make amends with Abby?

Everything is simple with Felicity...

but not with her.

Everything is always difficult.

Hi.

No. I'm not doing this.

Wait a second.

Sabine?

Don't believe what that woman says.

She betrayed Nate who wanted to help her.

She is vindictive and petty...

You pay me for help...

but then don't limit my peak power.

You can lose your daughters.

We've got him.

One of the group members spoke to Peterson...

in May 2019 about the semen used.

He reassured her...

but in June he started channeling his money...

to shell companies.

Is he the sole shareholder?

Do those companies do anything other than hide money?

No.

How fast can you get hold of a judge?

Cecil is at court.

Well done Danny.

It can save the case.

Nate made us share our secrets in order to grow.

It felt good to tell everything.

I did not know...

that he recorded it...

every session and also the physical part.

"Physical part?"

Sex.

With Nate.

I thought Nate was celibate.

We all thought we were a special exception.

When I left, he sent those sex tapes to my family...

my friends, my colleagues.

He destroyed my career and my marriage.

I was the warning.

"This is what happens when you leave LIFT."

Why didn't you go to the police? - Did I do.

They couldn't do anything for me...

because I agreed.

And Nate accused you of slander?

I fought it for two years, until I couldn't pay anymore.

Surely that all sounded very familiar?

What does Nate hold against you?

We must gain the upper hand.

Precisely. We're drawing up a strict warrant.

No, we need to get hold of Sabine's tapes.

Why would he return them?

Would there be copies?

That's why you need to call Sandra Dell.

That reporter who publicized Dad's relationship with Crystal?

We put her on this and she's doing everything she can to find the truth.

But first we have to convince Sabine.

But you can.

Me?

I keep Nate busy. I accept his invitation.

What? No no.

You help me with the claim tomorrow.

I taught you everything I know, now you have to go it alone.

You can do it.

Will you stand.

What are you doing here?

I heard your fellow attorney is dealing with cult leaders.

Move.

Mr. Svensson, can you begin?

Yes, your honor.

My publisher is not cooperating.

Hopefully there is fire behind the smoke.

Believe me.

Your readers want to know every juicy detail.

It'll be fine.

You have more top power than anyone else.

Abigail.

I waited for you.

Who has something to say for swimming?

Yes I.

Thanks, Lily.

What I'm going to say...

is not easy.

Where are the other members of the board?

I wanted some time together.

Nice to hear.

Because I want Sabine's recordings back.

Then I realised...

that if Nate had taped Robin...

then maybe me too.

Maybe he recorded our physical exercises.

At first I didn't think of it as sex...

because Nate said he was celibate.

He said he helped me...

release my brakes.

You think all you have to do is threaten to get those recordings...

to Sabine's husband and that she's afraid of losing custody...

so she does whatever you want.

That's called blackmail.

And I know some aspiring lawyers...

eager to apprehend a cult leader.

Enjoy those fabrications, Abigail.

See how far you get.

If we all leave at once, he can't touch us.

Sabine...

I'm sorry you're going through a crisis...

but spreading gossip about Nate like that...

You know it's true Lily.

You all know.

We need to make sure he doesn't harm anyone else.

Give me Sabine's recordings...

and I'll let you go back where you came from.

There are no recordings.

She lies, just like Robin.

I want to help these women.

They are so caught up in their paranoia.

Are you sticking to that?

Sandra Dell, from the Vancouver Guardian...

now sit by your campfire collecting data for her piece.

If you do anything to slander me or hurt my cause...

then I destroy you.

I do like a fight.

Bring it on.

How did it go?

Nobody said anything.

They didn't even look at me.

Trust me, they're all thinking about what you said.

It may take a while, but then they see the truth.

Where's Sandra?

She has already started writing.

Did he give you the tapes?

Of course not.

But the case is about to collapse and he knows it.

He can still send those recordings to my family.

You have to be ahead of him.

Dr. Peterson knew very well that what he was doing was wrong...

and he even foresaw that his evil deeds...

would break him up.

He has planned to put all his money in numbered companies...

in the hope that his victims would never receive compensation.

That speaks volumes about the character of the defendant.

The 52 members of this group business...

forever bear the scars of what this man did to them.

I ask the Court to rule in favor of the Prosecutors...

and send a signal to every doctor...

who would like to please his own ego...

in such a horrible way.

Thank you your honor.

Thank you.

I've heard enough.

Nice work sir.

Thank you Cecile.

When the judge said...

"Your deceptive ability Mr. Peterson...

is infinite'...

then I knew we were going to win.

Well spotted.

Well?

We won. - Awesome. Thank you.

I'm going to call my father.

Efren, if Nate sends you the tapes...

or to our daughters...

then I delete them.

You were right to be concerned about the children.

If I think Aviva has read my diary...

What matters is that you're out of there.

Thanks to Mrs Chalifour's courage...

Nate's cult has been made public.

Did you see Sandra Dell's piece?

Yes, very fascinating to read.

Our client is now undergoing therapy with a psychologist...

who specializes in victims of cults.

We are convinced...

that both parents should be given the same parental duties.

Your client has poor judgment...

Never mind, Mrs. Bernstein.

They need her...

and i know she will get over it.

Well done.

Harry is lucky with you.

Now that this is behind us, I wanted to ask you something.

It's a little weird, but with that party atmosphere...

- I thought that... - Come on, Cecil.

The rules say I can't go out with a co-worker...

but... - What do you mean?

The changes Daniel has made.

You just signed them: 'No office relationships'.

What nonsense. I met two of my three wives at the office.

How else can you meet someone?

I'm very happy about that, sir...

but according to the rules... - Who are you thinking of, Cecil?

Dear heavens. Hurry up, man.

Life is too short.

Cake? - Too many calories.

We still won, even though Harry takes the credit.

He was genius.

Thanks to your hard work.

He came at the last minute.

You're the one who... - Stop it.

While Harry went for a run...

and I went chopping wood, you built a rock solid business.

You know what?

Nate may have been a creepy cult leader...

but he was right about one thing.

Sometimes the people who know us best see...

not what we've become...

but only what we were.

Will dad never see me as a real partner?

I mean, forget what Harry thinks of you.

Forty under 40.

I'm in it. Ha.

Get on the pot, Dad.

Nina, I wanted to ask you something.

Harry gave me good advice.

Life is short. - Oh heavens.

That's what my dad told me too.

I have given my letter.

Which letter?

My dad and I are going...

travel around the world.

Cool.

We fly to Japan and then... Wait.

You wanted to ask me something and I interrupted you.

Oh, nothing important.

Japan. And then...

They have good sushi there. Apparently.

I'll send you a postcard from each city.

After our last meeting, I wanted to find another therapist.

Dr. Hailu has clearly sided with you.

I've thought a lot about that meeting.

What you said... - I...

I didn't want it to sound like that.

That was... mean.

No, you were right.

It was hard to live with me.

Thank you for acknowledging it.

But I don't want to be "difficult" for anyone.

So I'll make it easier.

I'm sick of it...

to make an effort.

It is over.
