What preceded...

What are you doing? - Nothing.

Dad doesn't see me as a partner.

Forget that.

Forty under 40. I'm in it, yes.

Crack it, Dad.

We're going to eat at Jardin.

Bit boring for a first date.

Where do you want to go?

Fodder.

A new tent.

Local products. Awesome chef.

Hey, Forty under 40.

Do you have complaints about my menu?

Your own restaurant is your favourite?

Alice.

Are you together now?

What do you think are...

professional opinion the chances of them getting back together?

Statistically, not very likely.

It was easy with Felicity, difficult with her.

I don't want to be the "difficult one", Frank.

It is over.

I've hired a lawyer.

Cordelia Bernstein.

The Flamethrower?

Wow.

Dressed up in a phone booth?

You had a touring bike.

This is a bike I tour with.

You're too late.

whines a man in spandex.

I'm late because I saw this on the way.

Edition Top Forty under 40. Take a look at the cover.

No.

Mini photo of me on the back, with short text.

You have 3 pages.

Enough, Narcissus.

I thought we were going for a bike ride.

You can't keep up with me with that thing.

You could be mistaken.

We go.

I knew Maggie would move on, but Alyse?

Alyse is like cereal.

Tasteless. Boring.

What does she see in her?

Lucy?

You know I think you're great, right?

But you're kind of boring right now. - That's not nice.

Listen.

The best thing for you is…

to live again.

Go out, to clubs.

If you want, I'll go with you.

Lesbians love me.

That's a sweet and strange offer, but no, thank you.

Too bad for you.

I'll make you live again...

anyway.

Hi Pickle. - Hi mum.

Don't forget I will see you and your sister after school...

take it to Jo-Jo.

I know. Mom week.

Now take more than one underpants with you.

I will.

Good morning.

Nico's hair is nice.

And you got him to buy new shoes.

Are you really not saying anything to me?

I can't believe you're hiring Cordelia Bernstein.

I had to. You don't budge an inch.

She is a process machine.

We know what's going to happen.

Should I just take everything?

Thanks to you, we're throwing tons of money away.

Hey? - Like the tuition...

of the children.

Since when are you a drama queen?

Since when are you a bitch?

Hello.

Harry Svenson.

What's your secret?

You look younger every time.

Phaedra, you flatter me. The same goes for you.

Thanks for your visit.

Naturally.

A lot has happened.

I met the man of my dreams.

Four years ago.

Who is the lucky one?

His name was...

Arthur Jenkins.

He passed away unexpectedly last month.

Sorry for your loss.

I inherit half of his property.

And you need my help with that?

His daughter, Esme, is challenging the will.

She won't pay me a cent.

And the reason?

Arthur and I met when his wife Linda was still alive.

She had Parkinson's.

He took care of her for a long time until...

her death three years ago.

And then you had been dating for a year?

A month after her death, we moved in together...

but Arthur had been mourning her for years.

Esme wouldn't accept it, us.

When did you enter his will?

A few months before he passed away.

Was he of sound mind? - Really bad.

Sharp mind.

He died unexpectedly.

How...

Heart attack.

During his favorite hobby...

me.

You left early. - I'm not your driver.

That is not what I mean.

Joanne is getting a little tired of all those people in her house.

You, Lucy. You.

You really are a ray of sunshine today.

Frank and I had a fight.

And the children heard everything.

It looked like The Twilight Zone.

I was Joanne, Frank was Harry.

I have scars from their fights...

and yet I make their mistakes too.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Every parent has embarrassing moments.

I can write books full.

Phones are your priority.

Never connect...

without saying who is calling.

We get a lot of calls from angry exes.

Understood.

Winston, this is Dr. Svensson.

The psychologist. - Pleased, Dr. Svensson.

Lucy. And welcome.

This is Abigail Bianchi, our... - Junior partner.

Daniel Svenson. Partner.

Nice to meet you.

Look.

Wow, Danny, cool.

You look very stuffy.

I expected professional envy.

Why? You're on the cover of...

a leaf that is yellowing in waiting rooms.

Stop.

Harry, look.

Nice, Danny.

This is great PR for the office.

“Daniel Svensson acknowledges that it…

nepotism seems that his father...

the ruthless family lawyer Harry Svensson...

already made him a partner at the age of 34."

Quotation marks.

"But make no mistake.

I have big plans.

I have a vision for the future of the office."

Blah, blah, blah.

"You can get stuck in the old.

My first goal is to get us into the 21st century.

Let the office take a different path.

I believe in consensual dispute resolution.

A shared, progressive philosophy.

I work with my father on his legacy."

Are you retiring?

So, that was spicy in a passive-aggressive way.

We have to review a stack of closed cases.

That's your part.

I'm delivering this office the biggest case ever...

and this is thanks from Mr. Future of Family Law?

This just has to happen if we want to go paperless.

I also gave Cecil some boxes.

Are you comparing me to Cecil?

No offense intended, Cecil. - Fine.

I know it's shit.

Dad should never have let the backlog get that big.

I need Abigail for an estate.

A client who has helped me a few times in the past.

And why Abby?

Family law for the dead.

She has to learn everything.

I have to answer that one.

Why? She'll be gone in a few months.

We'll see.

Hi, what's up?

Frank hired a lawyer.

They want to meet today after work.

Fine. Nice. - My office. half past six.

I'll be there.

Esme. chip.

My colleague, Abigail Bianchi.

Harry's infamous offspring.

Your reputation is known. - I've never heard of you.

To the point.

There's no indication that Arthur Jenkins...

was not in good health when he amended his will.

We think differently.

We think Arthur was manipulated into changing the will...

before he died.

That is not true.

Arthur Jenkins was never the same after his acquaintance with this…

woman.

"This woman" has a name, Chip.

You struck when my father was very vulnerable.

The first encounters with Phaedra...

may have been corporate, but they grew out of...

into a very committed, lasting relationship.

Arthur's marriage to Linda lasted 50 years.

And with this woman...

Phaedra. - Was the relationship four years.

And for one year my mother was still alive.

She wouldn't want...

that someone like you would get something.

You mean a successful business woman...

with a company that has been solvent for ten years.

A whore who runs a brothel.

It's not a brothel.

It's an escort agency.

You could have prepared me, Harry.

I wouldn't know why.

They met through an escort agency. That's illegal.

No.

The clients pay for the company of an attractive man or woman.

What happens next is something between two adults.

And that's how Phaedra helped you in the past?

I've hired one of her associates once or twice...

to get money from stingy exes.

So provocation.

I got some bait.

They snapped.

Cecile, give Abigail a copy...

of the Wills, Estates and Succession Act.

I will.

Hold on to that for the lawsuit.

Harry, please. Let me do something else.

I hate married men dropping their pants...

and I also mean those present here.

And the women who like to respond to that.

Do feelings get in your way?

You do not need me. You just want to bully Daniel.

I know Chip.

He portrays Phaedra as an opportunist.

I need a strong woman on my team.

So with manipulation...

do you want to score for feminism?

Because a man visited a sex worker...

when his wife was dying? - Don't be a prude.

It is the oldest profession in the world.

You are still on probation.

I decide what cases are assigned to you, and this is a case.

Read between the lines.

Very mature.

Sounds romantic.

Just like Julia Roberts and Richard Gere in Pretty Woman.

I think it's a great movie.

Sexist junk.

Just a jerk movie.

Hooker with a heart of gold.

Saved by a rich white guy.

Who is an arrogant asshole.

Run, Cecil, run.

I feel sorry for the daughter.

It's never fun when you find out that your parents...

not be perfect no matter how old you are.

We were still young.

Harry wasn't on a pedestal yet...

and therefore could not fall off.

I'm lucky.

I got an improved version.

He was faithful to my mother.

How long were they married?

Eight years.

Could be true.

But the fact that the earth is flat may also be true.

Did you buy the entire edition?

Are you going to wallpaper the walls with it?

It's high on her, isn't it?

It's high on her.

Knock Knock.

I bring power.

My favorite cookies.

Thank you Winston.

What are you doing?

I'm going through these files and...

look what we keep...

and what goes to the client.

And that thousands of times.

I don't have your expertise...

but if we do a few together, maybe I can help.

Grab a chair.

Frank. Luisa.

Cordelia. I hope it goes well.

We would like to ask the court to grant temporary...

change parenting arrangements.

My client wants to cooperate.

Fine.

With some caveats.

We want a written update on Miss Bianchi's therapy...

mental health...

and state of affairs at the Bar Association...

about her probation...

and Soberlink reports...

up to the present day.

Look.

You see the results in real time.

They are still what they were...

what you already know.

This is just wasting time.

I want to bring up Mr Bianchi's girlfriend.

She's not my girlfriend.

We only have your word for that.

I want to ask her under oath if she ever...

was in your house with the kids, view your text messages...

that your 14-year-old daughter has already seen.

You know affairs are irrelevant.

Precisely.

All this is irrelevant.

But if you want to bombard us with useless paperwork...

we'll spoil you just as much.

I wouldn't.

Let it cool for another day.

I am not saying anything new in the article.

You said he's old, rusty and irrelevant.

The context was missing.

What was the context?

I answered questions honestly.

Should I censor myself...

not to hurt dad?

If you don't know that, shame on you.

How did the rehearsal go?

Fine.

Sofia, how did your math rehearsal go?

Fine.

You probably didn't know...

that there is a sea slug that decapitates itself.

I read in the New York Times.

Old news, Jo-Jo.

Can I leave the table?

Me, too. - Yes.

Bring your plate. Go.

Can I get my pocket money in advance?

Why? - I'm going to Thaddeus tomorrow.

For the taxi.

Nice try, but no. - What? Why?

I don't know Thaddeus...

and no party on a weekday.

Ain't no party. - No. Discussion closed.

Sofia will stay home tomorrow, but not you.

Why don't I want to hear this?

You're having dinner with my friend's son...

a mechanical engineer.

Divorced last year, no kids.

blind date?

Don't think so, Mother.

What's a dinner?

Then you go eat with him.

No. Lucy has plans.

Lesbian speed dating?

I'm tired of you hanging around.

I want an evening with my grandchildren.

Is that too much to ask?

What do you want to say to…

people who judge how Arthur and you met?

He paid for an escort because he loved his wife.

He wanted a business transaction.

Can you say when that changed? - Fast.

It just clicked.

We talked a lot.

We were Francophiles. We loved traveling, tennis.

We didn't want to fall in love.

When did you move in together?

Three years ago.

We traveled a lot, but Arthur fell ill.

Where was Arthur's daughter when...

Esme Jenkins?

Nowhere.

Why not?

When she found out about our relationship...

she cut off all contact.

She couldn't have it...

that her father had found a new love.

So you were with Arthur all the time...

while Esme Jenkins had no contact with her father...

during the last three years of his life?

Beats.

Thank you, Miss Jacard.

End interrogation.

It's your turn.

Thank you, your honor.

When did you first meet Esme Jenkins?

I can't exactly... - I'll refresh your memory.

That was at Linda Jenkins' funeral.

- Arthur took his prostitute... - Objection.

My colleague uses inflammatory language on purpose.

Assigned.

My apologies, your honor.

Arthur took his sex worker with him.

Objection.

He brought his partner.

Assigned. Enough, counselor.

I bring in a list of expenses as proof.

Arthur stopped paying for sex...

but it remained a transaction.

That is not true.

He took you to Paris, $10,000.

Objection. Many couples go to Paris.

Assigned.

He bought your new apartment.

He also paid for the renovation of that flat.

For an amount of $200,000.

Objection, irrelevant. - This is indeed relevant.

They threw Arthur's money together...

like it was nothing.

I brought my own money into the relationship.

That's true.

And is it also true that you continued to earn money?

I carried the day to day business...

over to an employee, but I still own the company.

And some customers.

Objection. This is her livelihood.

Would you say that a chef should only cook for his wife?

I allow this.

Arthur knew that I continued to see a limited number of clients.

He was fine with that.

And we only have your word for that.

Miss Jacard is a money-hungry person who...

hooks men.

Objection. Incendiary language.

How many wills have been "adjusted"...

in favor of her? - Objection.

Speculative fabrication.

Just a little while and I will report you to the Bar Association.

My apologies, your honor.

End interrogation.

The language of that man.

That I'm some kind of black widow.

It's far from over.

We're going back to the office.

I thought having a woman on my team would be good...

but i feel you are judging me.

You radiate that.

I do not know what you're talking about.

I thought a lawyer...

wouldn't see things black and white.

You thought I'd see it in 50 shades of grey?

You're as bad as that misogynist...

who was given a snack as a first name.

Sometimes I want to throw in the towel...

giving everything to Esme, but it's about the principle.

Arthur would be furious that she would challenge the will...

because he didn't want her to get a penny.

How long have you been working here, Jerri?

More than 20 years. - What did you do for that?

Sales, at an oil company.

Did you like that too?

Until it wasn't fun anymore.

A long story, but it ended well.

And you, Cecil?

Legal assistant?

I have watched all Law & Order series with my family.

"A heinous crime has been committed..." Da-da.

Police seemed too dangerous to me and...

rights were set too high...

so it became this.

And you?

Is this your dream job?

I see this as a stepping stone.

Got my bachelor's degree last year, so...

Guard.

How old are you? - Nineteen.

Went to UBC when I was sixteen.

Winston is a member of Mensa.

This is my gap year.

I'm saving for my studies...

do some online courses...

Like drawing cartoons?

Like Harvard Fundamental Principles of Leadership.

What do you think about it?

You learn fast.

Watch out, Cecil.

Excuse me.

Whiskey before 5 o'clock doesn't bode well.

We got through it.

From Chip Crombie, yes. - Ouch.

I...

I sometimes wonder...

if I still can.

Now you're being melodramatic.

Are you serious? - Yes.

Maybe Daniel is right. And am I an old workhorse...

that needs to retire.

Mr. Svensson?

Georgia Gartner of Meridian News called.

She wants to interview you on Friday...

for an item on polyamory and the law.

Call Georgia she's welcome.

Well, Sofia, you pick a movie.

For under 12 years old.

And you choose the food.

Five Guys. - I think one is enough.

Just kidding.

Where is mom going?

A business appointment.

So kids, I'm off.

Be nice to grandma.

You don't like that.

Yes. - No you will not do that.

Forward. No.

She has a date. - No.

What are you doing?

I'm trying to make something to eat.

I'll be here for a while.

Work? - Joanne.

She bought speed dating tickets tonight.

I promised to go, but it gives me the creeps.

Granola bars are not dinner.

I have a better idea.

My favorite was the Night Vapor RTF.

Carbon fiber, reinforced airframe.

A dream plane.

Aren't you nervous then? - No.

I mean...

you have to manage wind conditions to avoid collisions.

Jeez.

How often are there collisions?

More often than you should.

Often operator inexperience and error.

Are you flying from smaller airports or...

No, I'm going to the park.

These are RC airplanes.

Operated remotely.

I assemble kits.

Dessert card. - Account.

Carl, you seem nice...

Here comes the but. - But...

I'm not ready for this yet.

I'm sorry.

I can't forget Abby's words. - She likes to smoke.

Weather. - Maybe...

but listen.

I remember something from when I was six.

I wanted us all to sleep in a tent in the yard.

Mom finally got it right...

but she said it would be just the two of us...

because Dad had to work overtime again.

I heard him come home at 3am...

and she began to cry.

She tried to do that quietly, but...

You can ask him.

But you have to be prepared for the answer.

OMG.

Aren't you the coverboy of Business in Vancouver?

And you are Clara?

Jacks, no.

This is my sister, Lucy.

Who is Clara?

A new woman he chats with. - Lucy, this is Martina.

From the farting video?

I want that in my obituary.

Hello, dear son.

Hello, dear daughter.

I am home.

Where is everyone?

Where are you? You would watch out tonight.

They didn't want to hear from me.

After dinner Nico went to read in his room and…

Texting Sofia in her room with friends...

so i went out. How so?

Sofia is not at home. - What do you mean?

What I said. She's not home.

She won't be at that party, will she?

That boy, Thelonious...

Hello, this is Sofia. You know what to do.

Sophia, where are you?

Call me back. Now.

SOFIA BIANCHI'S LOCATION HAS BEEN REMOVED.

Hello, this is Sofia. You know what to do.

Sofia, pick up.

With Sofia's mother.

Hello.

Is she by any chance with you?

Sofia, please pick up.

I need to know you're okay.

Hello?

Frank, with me.

Do you happen to know a boy named Thaddeus?

That a movie with farting animals...

helps with a breakup.

Animals that fart heal all misery.

My boyfriend travels a lot.

Hippopotamus farts help me.

He texts with Clara.

And? - Invite her for a drink and...

put your phone away.

You two are insufferable.

Come on, stop.

WANT A BRINK WITH MY SISTER AND ME AT FODDER?

bitch.

You are a dangerous duo.

I AM COMING.

And?

In the last year there is a Thaddeus.

Last year?

How could she sneak out?

We can go in here. - Abbie?

Not locked. - Are you still there?

Abby?

Jesus Christ.

What is happening? - What are you doing with my daughter?

I do nothing.

I'll kill you, you worthless son of a bitch. I castrate you.

Miss Bianchi, shut up.

She fell into a blackberry bush.

We're taking her home.

I want to know who...

gave my daughter so much alcohol that she can no longer walk?

She was already drunk.

She had been drinking heavily...

with her grandmother's drink.

I'm coming.

I'm very sorry, Miss Bianchi.

I once dated a woman...

who wanted to cut a curl while I slept.

"If you dump me, I can hex you."

That's nice.

A while back I dated a guy. Everyone said we looked alike.

Turns out we were distant relatives.

Jasses.

An undertaker asked me...

if I wanted to take an ice-cold bath before making love.

You win.

Clearly. cover boy?

I once dated a woman who wanted to shit on me.

I said no.

Why were our children home alone?

Joanna would be here. - And where were you?

You don't see them enough, you say.

I know you're angry, but can you dim for a second?

I saw her and...

that was a terrible déjà vu.

Abby, she's fine.

Drunk, but okay.

And if she inherited my weakness for alcohol from you?

And she has problems all her life because of me?

I am also to blame for her behavior.

Ever since she saw my texts, she's been deliberately disobedient.

Call me Frank instead of Dad.

We were her safe haven.

We took that from her.

We have to do better.

I'll be back in the morning.

Then we talk to Sofia together.

Watch out.

Look who I found outside.

What is?

Sofia got drunk with Jo-Jo's booze...

and went to a party.

Because the one who was supposed to look after her ran off.

Sounds familiar?

Abby, I couldn't have known that.

Of course not.

Because you were never there.

When I was 13...

an older kid was hanging around our school.

Like Matthew McConaughey in Dazed and Confused, but worse.

My mother often went out with the newest "uncle"...

so when Matt invited me to a party...

I stole her vodka and went there.

There was no party.

Only Matt.

We got drunk.

I don't remember much of what happened next.

I had a blackout and when I woke up...

Matt was gone.

With my virginity and what was left of the vodka.

How bad.

Does not matter.

But if that ever happened to Sofia...

I never forgive myself.

Is it 8 o'clock already?

Hello?

Stop looking. Nico is here.

What do you mean? Nico is here.

Trust me, he's with me.

The doorman called me.

Said Nico came walking from Deep Cove last night.

Didn't they notice I was gone?

Our son was gone all night.

He could have been dead. Caught by a madman, hit by a car.

Sofia is in the shower.

Nico.

You had a date and you didn't care that I was gone.

You're a bitch. - That's not what you call your mother.

You don't call any woman that.

We'll talk later. Pack your bags.

What? No. They have five more nights with me.

That's off. Nico, hurry up.

I hate you too.

You are shit parents.

My children are not staying.

Your children?

Keep out of it.

You are a worthless mother and worthless grandmother.

Frank.

Control yourself.

And you have even less to contribute.

He just took them.

I couldn't stop him.

I'll get to work and call you when I have news.

Harrison. - Cordelia.

Are you OK? - Could be better.

I stopped by Arthur's lawyer on the way.

You were right.

You should have spoken today...

but after such a night...

I want to try. - Good.

Were you close to your father, Miss Jenkins?

Very closely.

I was an only child. - It's never nice...

to hear certain things about our parents.

I do envy you.

You could take longer than most...

put your father on a pedestal.

The discovery that your father used an escort...

a whole year before your mother died...

That was awful.

Miss Jacard's presence at your mother's funeral...

was a huge error of judgment on the part of both.

That must have hurt you greatly.

It was like losing my mom and dad in a month.

But you didn't lose your father, did you?

Didn't he contact you? - Objection.

Relevance?

I allow it.

Once or twice.

I refer to Mr Jenkins' telephone records.

He called you dozens of times, but you didn't pick up.

So you didn't know about the stroke.

The renovations Mr Crombie mentioned...

these are itemized invoices that clearly show…

that they were performed for his mobility after Arthur's stroke.

Electric stairlift, safety handles...

wider doorways for the wheelchair.

Can you tell me what this is, Miss Jenkins?

My father's will. - Yes and no.

It is a concept that he drew up a month before the final version.

Do you want to read the highlighted text on page 2?

"I leave all my possessions to...

Phaedra Jacard.

I deliberately leave nothing to my daughter...

Esme Jenkins."

Your father was very hurt that you couldn't bear it...

to accept his new happiness.

Miss Jacard begged him to review that...

and he did.

Without her intervention you would get nothing.

First box of old things ready.

Well, that was fast.

Did you do everything on your own? - Yeah.

Well done Cecil.

You get better.

Nothing I've heard here...

makes me think that Arthur Jenkins...

was not healthy in body and limbs...

when he amended his will.

Miss Jenkins...

I'm sorry that your sense of betrayal...

getting in the way of a relationship with your father...

during the last years of his life.

That will be hard on you.

But if you loved your father like you said...

could you have felt gratitude that Miss Jacard...

provided him with everything in his last years.

I judge for the plaintiff.

This will is valid.

Thank you.

Thank you.

How do you feel?

Like I'm all alcohol.

I hope this absorbs the alcohol.

Good plan.

Despite how I feel today...

yesterday was very nice.

I thought so too.

She is amazing.

clara? That's right.

So did she, but I meant Martina.

You know what's the best thing about her? - What?

You are less tense with her.

I'm not that.

Yes, say, who would...

Did Abby talk to you about her plans?

As...

what will she do after her probationary period?

No. How so?

Just like that.

Lucinda, you spoke something unintelligible last night.

Something about a childhood memory.

Never mind, nothing's wrong.

Good.

Dad...

about the article, I didn't want to... - Yes, I did.

It was a stupid move.

Misrepresents me and my office.

Our office. - My office.

I did you the favor of participating.

Ah, so that's the partnership. A favor?

At the moment, yes.

You tell...

everyone that you are a good lawyer.

.Your sister shows that she is a good lawyer.

You can take an example from her.

Should I puke in court?

Being penalized by the Bar Association? Do urine tests?

From now on, I'll handle the media inquiries...

And if you do that again...

can you start your own office.

Georgia Gartner is here.

Georgia. Nice to see you again. - Similarly.

I freed up an hour. Where do you want to sit?

Good Lord.

Apparently a misunderstanding.

We've come to interview Daniel.

Do I have your permission?

Naturally.

Naturally. Good idea.

My office.

Put it on, Danny.

Well?

Frank does not want to change anything about the arrangement.

What?

He said some weird things.

That the kids were home alone...

that one child was drunk...

and the other was gone all night.

Long story.

He wants an evaluation of custody of the child and access.

The upcoming months...

a psychologist is watching you...

and assess your parenting.

That sounds awful. - That's awful.

It's expensive, invasive...

And this leads to... - A report...

with recommendations on what age to get, if you get one.
