Previously in Family Law...

Jerri, shall we have something to eat?

Sorry I can not.

Eleanor and I are taking the kids to a play.

The two we still see.

Where should Craig go?

Animal protection.

So...

after a year of fighting over the dog...

don't you both want him?

Would you like to go out tonight?

She has a date with a sexy firefighter tonight.

Oh, a firefighter. Every woman's fantasy.

Not mine.

I am a recovering alcoholic.

I was fired...

for throwing up in court after a binge...

so I now work for my father and a half-brother who hates me.

I had to go live with my mother after I was evicted.

I lost custody of my children...

and is in a terrible divorce...

but still married...

So when I say it's up to me...

We have conditions. The kids may...

no contact with their grandmother.

I live in her house.

Alice. - Where's Maggie?

She's out. - When is she coming back.

If you're not there.

I KEEP THINKING OF YOU

I AM MEMORABLE

Hi.

Good news. I get Sofia and Nico for one week, starting Friday.

Great, sweetheart. Frank finally comes around.

He has conditions.

You can't see them. - What?

He can't do that. It's been weeks.

I know, I haven't seen them either.

And I need to see my kids...

even more than you your grandchildren.

I don't understand why you agree.

I had no choice.

Until that evaluation is done, Frank decides everything.

He can't kick me out of my house.

Of course not.

I'm looking for a hotel for that week.

That's ridiculous, that will cost you a fortune.

Yes.

But I'm with Sofia and Nico.

I stay in the child's pose... forever.

THE NEW CALF

Hold on for me, if so.

Oh my God. I loved that book.

"Buttercup licked with her warm tongue."

She is the mother.

What's wrong with you?

Who is it for, Jerri?

Christina, my oldest.

She's finally gone from her husband, Bruce.

That is good news?

We haven't seen her in years because of him.

I never understood what she saw in that idiot.

His family was not allowed to see me at the wedding.

So Eleanor and I weren't on the guest list.

Just like her godfather. - And she agreed?

Bruce tells lies...

since they date, at school.

The worst part is that we are not allowed to see our granddaughter.

You have a grandchild? - Lila, she's three.

Jerry. - Let's not dwell on that.

What's important, she's free.

Christina has her own place, and I finally get to spoil Lila.

I am available on mobile.

Good luck, Jerry. - Thanks, Winston.

Okay, do you have to go outside?

If that beast has to go to the office...

then let him out.

Of course.

I don't want him turning our yard into a...

Toilet?

Exactly, 'Cecile'.

Take Craig outside.

Hey Winston.

Can you arrange a hotel room for seven nights from Friday?

One adult, two children. - And a swimming pool.

Maggie.

You look great. - Thank you.

Nice to see you.

Do you want... to drink coffee? The next one will come in an hour.

We... - I have to work.

I... wanted to drop this off.

A simple divorce agreement.

I found it online.

You come from a family of lawyers...

but I hope it doesn't come to that.

Yes. No. Naturally.

So...

Read it, and if it's all right...

then sign and return it as soon as possible, okay?

Naturally.

Miss Bianchi? I looked at all the hotels with swimming pool...

everything is full. Dentist conference.

I said you are a periodontist.

But they didn't believe that. - Well thought out.

Maybe an Airbnb?

Something close to their school?

I arrange.

One day you will run this firm.

Hey.

What is?

Leaving Bruce apparently changed nothing.

She doesn't want me in her granddaughter's life.

What did she say?

She doesn't think it's a good idea when I see Lila.

You are the best idea. She can't do this to you.

That's sweet, but I don't want to make it worse.

Worse how? You are her grandmother.

And Lila just needs you and Eleanor more...

now her parents divorce. - Look at me.

You keep out of it. Okay?

What is?

Nothing. Surely we all have work to do.

It's not nothing. Christina doesn't want...

that Jerri sees her grandchild. - What kind of monster does that?

Only Jerri makes an effort...

to see her granddaughter.

There's nothing we can do if she doesn't want our help.

There must be a precedent. - You heard her, stay out of it.

And you have to go to a party...

tomorrow night, 7 p.m., The Wedgewood.

The Wedgwood?

Where I caught Frank in the elevator.

I didn't choose the location.

Harveen Virk is appointed.

You go over and kiss his ring on our behalf.

You know who's good at that? - Daniel's going too.

You can't force me. - It's part of your job.

And for the next three weeks, I'm still your supervisor.

Nineteen days.

Seven hours and three minutes.

Cecil.

Is this about my certificate? It's in the mail.

See what you can find out about grandparent rights.

I have an appointment, but I want it...

soon. - Daniel approved this?

No. - He said...

You can't say anything.

It's our little secret.

Secrets with you lead to a re-education camp.

Good morning. I'm here for Daniel Svensson.

Kyle.

What brings you here?

It... it didn't work out with Harriet.

That is unfortunate. - So, uh...

I wanted to pick up Craig again, but he was gone.

Then I saw your pictures online, and I...

and I thought, no, my lawyer isn't stealing my dog.

'Steal?'

I paid for the adoption and rescued him from the shelter...

where you left him.

I don't like what you suggest.

I didn't mean to suggest anything.

You threw it away like garbage. - No that...

That was Parker. I would... I would never...

Time to go. - Well...

You can't keep him.

He cost me a fortune. You owe me something.

Go away.

This is not over.

Do you have a minute? - Of course, what is it?

Maggie and I broke up six months ago...

I was wondering when you would come. It's high time for clarity.

Well, I prefer to doubt, but she came along with this.

This is from the internet, right?

There's a special place in hell for those...

who created DIY divorces.

Awesome. She doesn't ask for any obligations...

for the child. That's where you escape the dance.

Daddy. - Okay.

Yes, this is fine.

What are you doing? Those are her terms.

It's not worth the printer paper.

Starting over is easier.

Oh my God... - Christina?

Yes.

I am a lawyer, with Svensson and Svensson.

Can I talk to you?

Jerri Rifkin is one of the most generous...

loving and helpful people I know.

To deny her a relationship with her grandchild...

because she's trans...

Did she say that?

That's not the point.

She hasn't earned that right yet.

Go now, please.

Your ad indicates that you have rooms.

Grandparent lawsuits are...

about what's good for the child, and whether the contact...

arbitrarily or unnecessarily withheld.

Okay thanks.

You've known Jerri a long time.

She has a good relationship with her other children?

They came later, much later.

Could there be another reason...

that Christina shuts Jerri out?

What... what is this chatter?

What if it has nothing to do with her being trans?

I'm sure...

Bruce used everything to alienate them.

He's the possessive type. It's heartbreaking.

When Christina was little she came to all our rugby matches.

We went for milkshakes...

and then puberty hit, and before they could make amends...

she went off to college and met that asshole.

Tragic, all those lost years.

Talk about irony.

I just got a call from Christina.

My lawyer, fast talking, brown hair, great shoes...

raided her home.

Well... whoever that lawyer is, she's clearly on your side.

If there was any hope for Eleanor and me...

to repair the relationship with Christina...

is it now shattered.

Maybe that lawyer can help. - I'm taking a mental day off.

Harry... - Jerri never takes a day off.

For nothing. Never.

Who loves sardines?

Kyle, Murphy is back.

Send him away. - With lawyer.

Put them in the conference room.

Take Craig to my office.

Keep an eye on him until they're gone.

This smells like rotting seal carcasses.

Clark.

Nice to see you again.

As I told Mr. Murphy, his claim is baseless.

You entered into a transaction without informing him...

and without his permission.

He dumped an old dog at the shelter...

where he would get an injection.

You set me up.

You played me to get Craig.

I can show notes...

of every conversation with Mr. Murphy.

I spent thousands of dollars on attorney fees...

for a parenting schedule...

and my crafty lawyer runs off with my dog.

This is ridiculous. He's not getting Craig.

Maybe... we can come up with an alternative.

Oh yeah.

Good. Good idea.

My client agrees to $5,300...

Then we will not take any further action. - $5,300?

That's very specific. Kyle, what's that?

Two months rent? Car repairs?

That is irrelevant. - This is a waste of time.

I'm curious...

how social media reacts to this.

What will one think if the guy from Business in Vancouver...

violates his professional responsibility?

No idea. What a nice guy to…

adopt an old dog who left a heartless sack?'

Or... "Devious lawyer cheats his client's best friend."

With this photo.

You know what they say...

"Whoever posts first doesn't get cancelled."

You have 24 hours to consider our offer.

Good to see you, Harry. - Chip.

I have no objection to a drink...

when you donate. - Not really.

Palmer called. - He moved to Point Grey.

'Cecile', are you co-writing? - Yes sir.

Creighton called me.

He took possession of the Whistler lot.

They have set their Rolexes right.

Sorry. Palmer and Creighton?

The MacMillan Brothers.

They've been fighting over that legacy for three years.

A $50 million estate.

Today, they took every possession...

of what father left them.

We represent Creighton? - Right.

Palmer can't open the safe...

because Creighton doesn't give the combination.

Creighton insists his father wanted him...

gets the content.

Then why is the safe...

at Palmer's house?

Their father left the combination...

at Creighton's house.

The safe is not in the will.

What's in it? - Nobody knows.

I HAVE ONE HOUR FOR WORK. GRAB A BITE?

I'm off for four days, starting tomorrow.

Why don't you come over? I cook.

I promise you, no chili.

I'd love to, but my father makes me...

to the party of a lawyer who has just been appointed judge.

I can go.

That would certainly make it more fun, but...

I don't think it's a good idea.

My ex will be there.

And you don't want any more fuel on that fire.

Nice.

All right, I have to go.

The meeting starts in 20 minutes.

Thank you for this.

Hi.

Christina was our first child.

I used to put her in the stroller...

and walked to the coffee shop so Eleanor could sleep.

The miles we've covered...

I don't know exactly when I lost her.

Puberty was tough. Two more children arrived.

She went to college, started dating Bruce...

the distance grew.

I wanted to believe she's not transphobic...

that she was brainwashed...

but now, i'll have to accept it.

My own child cannot accept who I am.

And even worse... she passes that on to my granddaughter.

Thanks for sharing, Jerry.

Let's take a little break.

I'm so sorry, Jerri.

I can't imagine not seeing the grandkids...

miss all those special moments.

The first smile, the first steps, the first...

Fuck off, Pam.

I have not forgiven you.

I know you're angry, and rightfully so...

but there is something you should know.

Christina said it had nothing to do with you being trans.

What?

What exactly did she say?

Thanks for the lift to my car.

I was afraid you would never talk to me again.

We missed the turn. The parking lot is there.

We make a little detour.

Will you ride me into the woods now to feed me to the bears?

I want to hear the story from her mouth.

I... told exactly what she said, word for word.

Yes, but it doesn't make sense.

I 'didn't deserve the right'? What does that mean?

What about Eleanor?

Christina also left her out.

Maybe you should do this tomorrow?

An unannounced visit...

Why on earth would I take advice from you?

Jerri, maybe you should sleep on it.

I can't sleep until this is resolved.

Is that...

Eleanor?

Jerry, maybe...

Jerry, I'm sorry.

Christina needed help.

Unbelieveable.

How long have you been in contact?

I'm trying to help, lay a foundation for you.

Little help so far.

I was on my way until you sent the lawyers.

I didn't, that lawyer sent himself.

How could you do this to me?

Jerry, please.

How could I say no when she contacted me?

I know...

I can not do it.

I'm sorry. - Jerry.

Can you call an Uber for me?

I'm glad to see the kids.

But my mother is furious. When can we fix this?

I called Dr Powell last night, she's done with the calls.

Real? She doesn't need to speak to my math teacher...

or the advertising carrier?

The report will be ready in a few weeks.

'A couple of weeks?' Typing out a few conversations?

I've never seen a report with less than 60 pages.

It takes time.

Will I see you at the party for Harveen Virk tonight?

I don't want to miss that. She was my student.

Are you coming with the firefighter?

Frank would go crazy.

You know... that could just be.

Good morning Miss Bianchi. The dress is here.

Thank you Winston. - Bad news.

All Airbnbs are full. Those dentists are everywhere.

Abby.

He's looking for you. - I need to talk to you, alone.

Can I put this away for a while? - No.

Violate your professional responsibility?

My trial period is almost over.

Harry is so available. - Not funny.

Kyle threatened to destroy me online.

I have to give Craig or pay $5,300.

Remarkably specific.

Give him that dog.

He's old, squeaks.

Get a puppy that will last a long time.

Would you do that when it comes to Nico, well?

Give him up? Replace him with another child?

Are you really comparing...

He doesn't want Craig.

He wants the money.

Challenge him.

Have you seen Jerry? - She's not here yet.

That's strange. - Yes, she's always here for me.

Heard anything from Jerry?

Svensson and Svensson. Who may I connect you with?

Hi Jerry.

Where is she? is she ok?

I have an appointment, I'll be there around 11 am.

I have to go. Thank you.

Hello, Lila.

How nice to meet you.

Who's that shady guy who just left with Craig?

Just kidding.

I have a reservation, 7:00, False Creek Yacht Club.

I can't tonight. I...

Not you, this is a father-daughter night.

If I don't have to go to that party. - I was talking to Lucy.

Fine, dad.

Mr. Svensson? Chip Crombie is here.

We were ordered to open the safe together...

and record the content.

Does Palmer have access to the vault? - If Creighton gives the combination.

Yes, if the safe is brought to this office.

Palmer agrees, provided Creighton is not present at the opening.

No problem, as long as Palmer isn't here either.

And the opening is filmed...

for both parties. - That's fine.

Real? I'm so relieved.

Hey, you know what?

This is getting boring.

Shall we go to a movie? - Abigail.

You must be Aidan. - That's me.

Hi. - Cordelia.

Abby hasn't told you nearly enough about you.

A statement that the unborn child...

does not belong to marriage.

A waiver of all custody rights.

A waiver of all financial obligations.

Maggie becomes a single mother.

She needs help.

She was clear, she doesn't expect anything from you.

None of this deviates from her intentions...

in that Mickey Mouse document.

Okay, but I make a lot more than she does.

She must be able to pay the rent...

especially during her leave.

I pay half until the end of next month.

Yes, your half. That's more than fair.

No, I pay the rent in full, 18 months.

You don't live there. - Dad, I want to help her.

You are sweet...

but every concession sets a precedent.

I guarantee you, in two years...

do you think differently about this.

Trust me, Lucy.

Hey. This is Aidan.

Aidan, this is my half brother, Daniel.

Ah, the cyclist.

Do you cycle?

Mountain biking with friends, when I have time.

So 100% less Spandex.

How do you know each other?

I came to put out the fire a few weeks ago...

with Abby's client.

Our client. You are a firefighter?

He sure is.

Mr Dec.

Making that calendar was so much fun.

Sure.

We raised over 25,000 for the children's hospital.

Abby, can I talk to you for a minute?

Naturally. I'll be back.

Take your time.

What are you doing? - Calm.

It's cranberry with soda. - I'm not talking about that.

Bringing your toyboy into our professional community.

This is not my community.

My probationary period ends next month.

Okay. So? That's why you humiliate me and embarrass yourself?

Oh, let's just talk...

about humiliating encounters here.

Excuse me. I'm going back to Mr December.

Mr Juli couldn't have done it any better.

You can stay tonight.

That's what I was planning...

but i really need to pee.

Oh sorry.

Do you want eggs? I think I have it.

Breakfast cereals are fine.

Abby, this is my roommate... Devon.

Yes.

Is all the milk gone?

And... this is Beau.

Hi. - Hello.

We are out of milk.

What do you do with that?

Throw away. - Not in the kitchen.

Abby, Kyle is coming this afternoon with his lawyer.

So? Some call you a lawyer.

I need a lawyer.

I don't take risks.

I have real work to do today.

I'm a partner, and you're on probation.

As a supervising attorney... - That's Harry, not you.

But fine, don't have a heart attack.

Hey, how was the party?

Abby brought a date. - Aidan?

I'm sure it'll be fine then. - You knew about him?

Why do I always know everything last?

Maybe because you never ask for anything. - How was your date with Dad?

Lila said she met Nana yesterday?

Christina.

You were going to stay out of our lives and mom knew that.

It was my idea.

Well, tell her...

that if any of you ever come near her again...

I request a restraining order.

Stay away from us.

I wanted... I wanted to see LiLa for five minutes.

Excuse me.

I get it.

When Frank got custody I missed them so...

that I parked at their school to see something of them.

Unimaginable.

I'm fighting for Craig now, and if I lose him...

I love my godson, but she's really wrong here.

Whatever Jerri did or didn't do...

she deserves a relationship with her grandchild.

Yes. Finally. Thank you.

If we sue her...

Whoa, stop.

A lawsuit is the last.

We meet with Christina and her lawyer.

Together in one room is fine...

but with therapists, not lawyers.

At sometime. And there's only one person here...

who gets her there.

Thanks for the trust, but... - Not you. He.

From Marv?

The last was as a child.

Marv's daughter has taken over the company.

I know you want to help, but you don't get it.

Then explain it to me.

It still tastes just like before.

I can almost smell the freshly cut grass...

and the sweat from the rugby shirts.

I hated those games.

That's why she bribed you with the milkshakes.

We know who came up with that idea.

I think of Abigail who came to see...

when she was little. The mistakes I made.

I only recently met my grandchildren...

and I blame myself for not trying sooner.

The missed years...

Glad you made it right.

Not that again.

But this is different. - That's right.

I...

did nothing. Wasted 14 years.

I hardly saw Sofia and Nico growing up.

Jerri keeps trying to make contact.

She wants a relationship with you and Lila.

A ban against a loving grandparent...

is not in the best interest of the child.

Give me that one.

Before I go, you need a good lawyer...

before your divorce.

Anyone in mind?

I met Bruce.

He will play dirty...

to avoid his responsibilities.

I like to hold him accountable...

Pro bono, of course.

And in return...

Here it comes.

A family session with my daughter, Lucy.

The therapist?

I gotta hand it to you.

You always find the right stimulus.

I demand to see my dog. - My dog ​​is at the groomer.

How convenient.

My client has seriously considered your offer.

And he will waive all claims...

on the animal.

Well...

Good.

Provided your client doesn't say anything...

private or public, about Daniel Svensson or this firm.

For any breach of these terms...

we will litigate and demand high damages.

You can pick up the dog tomorrow at 5 p.m.

He has to bring it.

O? So he can dump him at the shelter?

Jericho Beach.

5 p.m. - Vanier Park, 9 a.m.

Three. - Eleven.

Twelve o'clock. - Okay.

REGISTERED PSYCHOLOGIST

I had to walk on eggshells.

I never knew which "you" I got.

Sometimes you were my best friend...

who took me to the aquarium, built fortresses with me.

But sometimes you didn't get out of bed...

or did you snap at me and mom for no reason.

It was worst when you were drunk.

Ever...

I lined up all my animal figurines...

from the front door to my bedroom.

I wanted so much to surprise you...

But you staggered in and started screaming.

"Clean up that mess."

I still see your face...

the anger.

I don't know where this comes from. That never happened.

It is important...

that we listen to what Christina wants to share.

You were so much bigger than me...

your red face, the booze smell...

I ran to my room, but you were right behind me.

You almost pulled the door out of its seams.

I hid under the bed.

I still wonder what you would have done if you had found me.

Nothing. I would never hurt you. That couldn't have happened.

That's right.

You hid in the closet, not under your bed.

It obviously happened, you remember it too, but...

how can i forget something like that, so...

You were blackout drunk.

Why didn't you say anything?

I don't know what you remember from that time.

Painful memories... What... What's in it for you?

It was a long time ago... Long time ago...

and you worked so hard.

Sometimes our subconscious suppresses traumatic events...

to protect us from the guilt or shame.

Please, I need to know.

Have I ever hurt you?

Not physically.

You never touched the children.

But... I was so afraid of you when you drank.

For years I don't realize what it had done to me...

and I...

Lila can't let that happen.

Svensson and Crombie?

Crombie doesn't work here, I can sign for Svensson.

No, both must sign.

Harry. - Chip.

Put him in the conference room.

Okay, Mr. Svensson. Everything is ready.

Thank you, Cecil.

I'll put $50 on more watches. - I'm not betting today, Chip.

Maybe diamonds.

With the houses, cars, bank accounts...

25 million the man is enough for those trust-fund rascals.

But no, they learned from their father.

It's never enough and you fight for the last penny.

Glad I only have one child.

It's going to be a bloodbath for me.

Can we start?

Good.

Right, turn 2 times to 91.

Left, turn once to 88.

Back to 17.

If only you had bet, Harry. Then you were 50 dollars richer.

My client wants a professional evaluation...

to determine the value of this collection.

My client too.

One issue of Beaver's Den, June 1979.

One issue of Hard Times, May 1979.

An edition...

Roughing It In The Bush, December 1977.

He will not come.

He didn't want Craig. He just wanted the money.

Are you sure?

You could have made a counteroffer, right?

You didn't even round up to 5 thousand.

Who wants a snack? - I'm not saying no.

Correct.

I have a room with two beds and a pool...

for a week. - Winston, great.

Cecil found him. - It's a motel.

Well... - In Maple Ridge.

It's going to be an adventure. At least we're together, right?

I would bring my own sheets.

Where are you going, Jerri? - A meeting.

Me, too. Thank you.

I haven't drunk in 26 years.

Good, Jerry.

Congratulations, Jerry.

Even after all this time, there are parts of my past...

which I didn't want to look at.

The tough years were when Christina was little.

I struggled with depression and alcohol was my medicine.

I was not a great parent.

And even though I know I'm not that person anymore...

i have to accept her wishes.

She wants to protect her child...

even from me.

Are you leaving? - Yes, I'm going to pick up the kids.

We're going to a motel, in Maple Ridge.

It will be great.

You may want to know...

that Christina wants to have coffee with me on Sunday.

That is amazing.

It's not with Lila at the park or anything...

but it's a start.

I'm sorry I didn't respect your privacy.

Not true.

I'm sorry I blew things up.

That was necessary.

$5,300?

Isn't that bizarre... - Specifically? Yes.

Guess what for? - Car repairs?

It's what my friend paid for his gear.

His lawyer dropped that Kyle...

to promote his latest script in Indonesia.

No, that Hollywood scam? - Yes.

What could I do? - Nothing.

You couldn't risk Craig. He's clearly worth every penny.

Hey, mom. I'm just picking up Sofia and Nico.

Nice to meet you before you drive all the way to Maple Ridge.

You can stay in the house.

I can stay with a friend for a week.

Mom, you don't have to.

If he was only half as handsome or rich, I wouldn't have done it either.

Thank you. And I will continue to fight against this.

Yes, you sure do.

Because no one keeps me away from my grandchildren.

Careful with that.

Help.

Maggie?

Maggie?

It's... It's okay.

It'll be fine.

This is 911. What is your emergency?
