Previously on Matlock...
I'm Madeline Matlock.

I'm a lawyer, like
the old TV show.

Why do you want to work
at my firm?

I woke up at 75 years old

without a husband or money
and a 12-year-old kid to raise.

I need this job more
than you can possibly imagine.

Meet me in the conference room,

and bring the new lawyer
with you.

Well, you see, there's
this funny thing that happens

when women age.
People assume

I'm a harmless old lady,
and that's how

I'm going to trick them.

Good evening,
Mrs. Kingston.

There she is!

Well, you'd have been
a lot less cheery

if you knew how I talked
about you at work.

Gambling, cheating,

- not to mention dead.
- Grammy!

- Alfie!
- Was I right?

Perfect name?

Reminds us of Mom?

I had a daughter, and she died

after a long battle with drugs.

The law firm, Jacobson Moore,
hid documents that

could have taken opioids off
the market ten years earlier.

Think of how many lives
that could have saved,

including our daughter's.

So I'm gonna figure out
who knew what when,

and then,

I'm gonna put them in jail.

Now that I've gotten my hands
on Olympia's laptop,

you can access her emails.

Remember, use their expectations
against them.

They think old and bumbling,
so that's what you play into.

If you do that, they'll...

Shh!

Oh, oh. Not you.
I-I'm on the phone.

Quiet.

I have to focus.

Okay. Whatever you do, do not
give them Olympia's laptop.

Don't let it out of your sight.

I won't.

All you have to do is ask them

how to get the original email

so we can actually see
the attachment.

Good grief, Madeline, I know.

Oh, somebody's coming.

Hello there!
Well, hello there to you!

How-how can I help you?

Uh, actually, you would be
helping my grandson.

He gave me his computer.

Well, I honestly
really don't know what he needs.

But...

let's just see, okay?

"Tell them

"my friend sent me an email
that was

"forwarded from someone else,

"but I can't open
the attachment.

Could they help?"
Gotcha.

Your grandson just needs
to ask his friend

to resend the original email.
Right.

Unfortunately...

he died.

My grandson's friend.

A few days ago.

It was sudden.
Oh, my God.

Oh, but it was an older friend,
not a young friend.

Uh, which is still sad.

Never ate his vegetables.

My grandson used to say,

"Eat a carrot," but he wouldn't.
The funeral is tomorrow, and...

Stop talking!

And that's it!

The only way to see
the original attachment is

to access the account
it was sent from.

Maybe there's a family member
you could contact?

After the funeral.

Your grandson's old friend died?

I froze!

- It's hard being undercover.
- Ha!

- You're telling me.
- The point is,

we don't know if this
attachment actually is anything.

It has to be.

I know it, Edwin.
That attachment has to be

the missing documents,
or at least lead to them.

Well, then what's plan B?

Seduce Senior
and steal his computer?

That's plan C.

Plan B has something to do

with Jacobson Moore's
internal server, cloud thingy.

Mrs. Belvin told me
they monitor emails,

so they must
keep them somewhere.

I just have to figure out where.

- Without Alfie.
- Yes.

Without Alfie.
That's what makes this so hard.

Oh, if only your firm had
a Genius Bar.

Dang it! Of all the days
to have my computer crap out.

Screen keeps freezing.

You got the number for IT?
Email, it's quicker, and

you better hurry because Olympia
is on a tear this morning.

She did not like
losing last week.

Did you get confirmation?

From IT?
No.

From our star witness,
Katya Novik.

We're waiting
on her confirmation

for her prep session at 9:30.
Hello?

Billy?
Again. I need you to
take it down a notch, or three.

I know, I just... I just can't
wait to meet Katya in person.

Two minutes into her deposition,
and you know

why Olympia built
the whole case around her.

Just wait until you hear

how she talks about being
assaulted by the prison guards.

It is so...

Sad.

...amazing.

Amazingly sad.
You know what I mean.

Katya's inspiring!

She came forward first to report

the abuse, and then she
rallied the other inmates

and didn't give up,

even when
she was retaliated against,

even when she was put
in solitary confinement.

Are you in love
with her or something?
I'm in love

with her deposition.
Okay, you need
to get out there and date.

Oh, here we go again.
It's true.

That's quite enough!

I don't mean
to pull out my Grandma voice,

but we fell apart
on our last case,

so no more arguing.

- We're a team.
- You're right.

And we need to come through
for the queen.

Katya? See, that's weird.

No, not Katya! Olympia!

- Also weird.
- Hi, there!

Yeah, well, I was wondering
if, uh, Katya Novik is...

Yeah, I did call earlier

before, but...

Uh, hello?
Don't think you needed
a megadose of caffeine.

You need to...
If you tell me to relax...

We were married for 11 years.
Do you think I'm an idiot?

You need to... delegate.

I know you hate lose...

shh... uh, not...

winning.

You have a good team.
I'm reminding you to use them.

Thank you. I will.

Now can I have my
coffee back, please?

Mm, pending your reaction
to my next piece of news.

Uh, I got trapped talking to
Victor the Viking this morning.

Ew.
Yeah.

Is he still trying
to catch the criminal

who isn't breaking down the
recycling boxes?

Well, yeah, that, um, and
he wants to buy our brownstone.

He said he'd pay
20% over market value

in cash if we move out
in a month.

20%? Wait. Why so much
and why so fast?

Said he wants to combine
his place with ours,

he needs to buy quickly for
tax reasons-- and, come on--

you're not breaking down
those boxes to taunt him.

It is not me.

All right.

Oh. I need to go.

Uh, I do have a pending case.

See how calm I am, so give me
my coffee back, please.

All right, got it.
Thank you.

Hi. Katya.

Yeah, oh, uh, lunch.

Let's talk
about selling the brownstone?

Oh. Yeah.
Yeah. No.

I totally understand
that you have to work.

I'm sorry for all of the calls.

What's going on? Apparently,
Katya left a message

for one of you saying
she couldn't make it?
What?

Not me.
It doesn't matter.
Where's Matty?

In the library,
reviewing depositions.

Okay, she's coming with me.
Prep the materials for the jury.

Blow up the images of
the bruises, okay?

They need to see
what Katya endured.

- Okay, we're being sidelined.
- Stop.

Okay, no scarcity mindset.

Instead...
Before you tell me

that I should expand my life
and start dating,

I already made a profile.

Here. Look.

I was gonna say,
"Focus on work,"

but I'm not stopping
this momentum.

Let's go.

It's interesting.

Educational.

It reads a little
like a LinkedIn profile.

It is. I copy-pasted.

They should know
I'm efficient.

That's literally the thing
I'm most proud of.

Okay, I'm gonna help you

after we blow up
these pictures. Come on.

Wowie.

- Those are incredible.
- I'm open to settlement talks,

but I don't want
to be looking at a number

in the same family
as your last number.

I don't even want them related
by marriage.

Uh, could you take it outside?

I'm willing to give
Katya another chance,

but I don't want lawyers
in here causing drama.

High stakes,
believe you me.
Oh.

While we wait for Katya,
can I ask you

at least 27 questions
about your nails?

I just love 'em!

Oh, are they hand-painted?
Oh, yeah.

Nadia over there-- she does 'em.

Oh, they're beautiful.

The colors, the detail.

Okay, my next question
is practical.

Can you type? Text?

Button a shirt?
I can do everything, honey.

The key is to use the pads
of your fingers. Mm-hmm.

Can you make a fist?

I'm more partial to slapping.

Hey.

Katya, hi.

Hi. Sorry
to keep everyone waiting.

I was cleaning
the treatment room, and then...

Where's Olympia?
Oh, she's just outside

wrapping up a call.
I'm her associate, Matty.

It's so nice to meet you.
Oh. Okay. Hi.

More the merrier, right?
Are you, um...?

Sorry for all
the scheduling issues.

It's been hectic, so hectic.
This is my new job.

And... Olympia.

Hi.
Katya.

Great to see you.

I'm so sorry again

that my associates
didn't tell me you called.

Is there a private room where
we can go over your testimony?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah,
I got permission

for us to use the back room,
so, come this way.

It is so good to see you.
You, too.

It's finally happening.

Hey.

We can't center the case
around Katya.

What? Why not?

That girl is high as a kite.

We put her on the stand,
it's a disaster.

What are you talking about?

Katya's been sober
for over a year.

Are you sure?
I wouldn't say it if I wasn't.

You said we're allies, right?

So trust me.

It's been really busy,
but, uh, yeah, we got

to go over my testimony.
I-I want Warden Larson to pay.

You know,
all of them to pay.

Me, too.

Katya, are you using again?

What? No, of course not.

- Why would you say that?
- Honey,

you look like you're about

to leap out of your skin,
and you keep

grinding your teeth.

No. You can't just come
into my place of work

and accuse me of being on drugs.
You don't even know me.

That's why
I brought a test with me,

so you can prove
that you're clean.

I had a really bad day.

I've been sober for 18 months.

I have chips, and, um,
I was getting really nervous

about the trial,
and-and I had this meeting

with my parole officer,
and I was late,

and he came down
really hard on me,

and then I get to work and had
the worst customer of all time.

She wanted a-a design
on every nail, but freehand,

and she had all these changes,
and it took me hours,

and then, you know, after all
of that, she didn't even tip me,

and she called me...
she called me lazy and useless.

And then I was upset, right?
So when a dealer came by

and offered me something, I...

...said "yes."

You need to get to a meeting
and ask for some help.

I will.

This was a one-time mistake,
I will be sober for the trial,

I promise you.

We need a new
lead plaintiff.

What? No. We don't have time
to rebuild our entire case.

She's already lied. Billy
and Sarah didn't drop a message.

She ghosted us.

Addiction causes chaos. Day of,
she might not even show up.

I'm telling you, Katya needs
to focus on recovery.

We can't risk
putting her on the stand.

How do you know so much
about all of this?

My mother was an alcoholic.

So, trust me.

I'm not steering you wrong.

Put me on speaker,
start writing.

We need to pivot
to another plaintiff,

center someone else's story,

and I need you two
to start researching.

No! We need to keep Katya
on the witness list

so the defense doesn't know
that things blew up with her.

Otherwise, they'll call her.

Just focus on finding the
top three replacements.

Why do you do that?

Refer to them

as a unit,
not get to know them,

their skills...

Do me a favor.

You review their choices,

and approve the
new plaintiff.

Approve as in...

As in you're in charge

of your good friends,
Billy and Sarah.

Turns out delegating is fun.

See?
Okay.

I am ready to take in a
little bit more information,

but first, can we sell now
and move in six months?

Victor wants
a 20-day escrow.

Maybe he'd be more
lenient if you stopped

torturing him and just
broke down those boxes--

Stop with that.

And it's just not practical
to move right now.

There's so much that
we have to figure out.

I know.
And we had a plan.

That we were gonna
nest for a year,

that way,
we were the ones moving

and the twins can stay put,
which we agreed

was best for them.
I know.

And also,
honestly, I just,

I don't know if I can
take this on right now,

all of the logistics...

I know.

Eat your hot dog.

We have three plaintiffs
for Olympia to choose from.

We have Lauren Jarrett,

Gabrielle Alvarez
and Tiffany Lee.

No one's as strong as Katya.

There's gang affiliations
and repeat offenses

we'll have to contend with,
but all three have

horrific stories about being
abused by these guards.

Let's go with Tiffany.

Go with as in...?

Ah, heck, there's just no
easy way to say this.

Olympia wants
me to choose.

I mean, we're
still a team,

but it's a rush job,
I'm 157 years old,

so I just have a
little more experience.

Now, I'll text
Olympia the choice

and then, we'll
just move right on.

It's fine, Matty, we get it.
Uh, no, we do not.

Yes, we do.

Come on,
I literally just put

that you're a "go with the flow"
type of person

in your dating profile.

Sup. Kira from IT here
for Madeline Matlock?

Hiya, Kira, thanks
for squeezing me in.

Yeah, you got it.

So, uh, what dating
apps you on?

Uh, no shade,
I'm on all of them.

Well, I'm not on them, yet.

I'm just starting, so... Hi.
I'm Kira, I mean, I'm-I'm Sarah.

You're Kira.
I'm Sarah.

Hi.

Thanks again for

the last-minute pass, Nicola.
You are a lifesaver.

I want Warden Larson's
"Reign of Terror"

in the rearview mirror, too.

And, no, I won't call it that
on the stand,

but I will testify to the volume
of complaints against him.

Well, I'm impressed
with the changes

since you took over,
and I will make sure the jury

knows that, too.
But, damn,

"Reign of Terror"
would be so good,

reporters would run with it.
That's why I'm not saying it.

It was good to see you
again, Olympia.
You, too.

And C.O. Russel is here
if you need anything.

And sometimes, as we get
closer to trials,

we change course.

And that's what's
happening now, Tiffany.

I actually would like
to call you to the stand

so the jury
can hear your story.

And I promise
I will tell it with care.

But it is a bigger role,
so I'd like us to prep for...

So it's true?
Katya relapsed?

Well, yes, unfortunately.

But if you step in
and testify...

No way. Honestly,

I don't even want
to be associated

with the case anymore.

Can I ask why?

And she didn't say why, huh?

So, we'll go with
Lauren Jarrett.

No from Tiffany? Weird.
\
Yeah.

Um, any ideas
about Matty's computer?

Uh, no. You know, I thought

it was bad RAM,
but the RAM seems fine.

Ugh, I hate bad rams.

Uh, quick question,

off the subject of rams,

can IT access
everybody's emails?

And before you answer,
here comes

part two: if I lost an email,

could y'all get it back for me?

'Cause I swear that coupon
for 25% at Costco

vanished in front of my eyes.

Uh, well,
there is a server room,

so, technically, if I wanted,

I could use my laptop to access
every email in the firm.

But that's a no on coupons
'cause, you know, policies.

Oh, no, no, no.
I'm a big fan of policies,

so I-I withdraw the request.

Boy, oh, boy,
a firm with all those

emails floating around
in a giant server room,

it sounds like-like
something out of

a science fiction movie.

Eyeball scans to get in?

Uh, no, just fingerprints.

But it's still pretty sci-fi.

Sorry. Um, Olympia texted
something very funny.

From prison?

So my testimony would be
at the center of the whole case?

All the press, everything?

It does come with
a little more scrutiny, yes,

Lauren, but I promise I will
make sure you're prepared.

I can't.
I'm sorry.

Is there any way
I can change your mind?

No. I'm getting out soon.
I have my family to think about.

Their future.

And if we win
this case,

you'll be able to provide for
your family and their future.

And I know it is so scary
being that public-facing,

but I also know
that you're brave.

Because I read your file,
Gabrielle,

and I know
what you went through.

What you survived.

And I'm asking you
to draw on that courage now,

for the other women,
for your family,

for yourself.

So? What did
Gabrielle say?

No.

Everyone said no.
Which means, we're starting

a class action trial tomorrow

and not a single plaintiff
will testify.

We can't go forward.
The odds of us winning

decrease by 70%
when there's no face

for a jury
to identify with,

which you know.
I don't know
what happened.

Me neither. But they
all seemed scared.

Of retaliation?

But that was always a risk.

And all the guards
named on the suit

- are gone.
- Right.

There's too much sunlight
now anyway.

Exactly, exactly.

See?
They're merging.

They were all willing
to come forward,

and now they're not.
So what changed?

Katya relapsed.

That's the only thing
that changed.

And you said Tiffany
knew about it, right?

And Gabrielle was scared
for her family?
Mm-hmm.

Maybe the women think
somebody got to Katya.

Somebody who wanted her
to relapse

so she couldn't testify.

Like gave her
the drugs on purpose?

That's a real stretch.
Totally agree.

Then again, it makes sense.

In a certain light, yes.

I mean, it's one thing

to feel threatened
in prison,

but if you or your family
aren't safe

once you get out...
Ooh, that would shut me
right up.

What if the dealer
was one of the guards?

There are security cameras
in the nail salon.

We could try for a subpoena.
It's a long shot, but...

Better than no shot.

High fives all around.

I just have to keep
the focus on teamwork.

Agreed.

Our teamwork.

Focus on me.
Yes.

Sorry, sorry.
Okay. Go on.

Okay, so on April 5th,

Olympia sent out an email
confirming the delivery

of the documents
to Jacobson Moore.

Senior signed for them

and took possession
that afternoon.

Blue. Blue pins for evidence.

Do you want to do it?

No, no, you're doing great.

Okay.

The files were scanned

into the firm on April 6th.

342 pages.

All of which somehow
mysteriously disappeared.

Boy, you go on one mission
and suddenly you're Matlock.

Oh, you stop.

So, the very next day,

April 7th,

Olympia gets the email
with the forwarded attachment.

So Julian
asks Senior

how they should take care
of Wellbrexa.

And all Senior says is,
"It's handled."

With the damn attachment.

- Right.
- Kira has access

to every email in the firm,

so all I need to do
is get her computer.

So, you're gonna steal
a computer from the woman

whose job
is protecting computers?

Well, it's easier than
cutting off her finger.

We're not doing
that stuff, right?

Grammy.

Quick, close it. I don't want
him to know we're stuck.

Can I please have
more screen time?

I just need ten more minutes.
Please?

Okay, ten more minutes,

then that's all.

Why is the board closed?

Clock is ticking.

I'm going, I'm going.

Ugh, damn it.

The judge denied the subpoena
for the security cameras.

So what's plan B?
Sleep with the judge?

Ugh, I'm too tired.
I'm going for plan C.

Shh.
I'm calling Olympia.

Hi.

Hey there.
I'm sorry about the subpoena,

but I have another idea.

Is it okay if I come in three
and a half hours late tomorrow?

Okay.

So what do you think?

I think your work
belongs in a museum.

Katya's good at this, too, huh?

Oh, yeah, she is

super artistic
when she's...

you know, sober,
which I assume

she no longer is, honestly,
because she's gone AWOL.

I wanted
to believe her.

I have known her
since she was a kid.

It sucks.

It does suck.
Actually...

Did you see the guy
who sold her the drugs?

No.

And I know this
sounds crazy, but

what if he was
one of the guards?

To keep her
from testifying?

Whoa. You really think so?

Maybe your security
cameras caught it?

Sonia, please.
Right now,

my boss is giving
her opening statement,

and she can't even mention
a plaintiff's name

because they're all too scared
to come forward.

Maybe this is
the reason why.

Wait, so,

if your boss
can't mention any names,

who is she talking about?

Hammurabi,

a Babylonian king
who ruled in 1770 BC,

set forth a series

of 282 laws--
Hammurabi's Code.

And this code
was considered by many

to be the birth
of crime and punishment.

If you broke a rule,
you could expect to lose

an eye, a hand, a tongue,
or maybe all three.

But not even
this ruthless tyrant

allowed his guards to abuse
prisoners in confinement.

Because that's not punishment.

That's criminal.

And Warden Larson knew about it,

and he let it happen.

You will see medical records.

You will see formal complaints

that were filed
and went unanswered.

You will even meet
the new warden of the prison,

who will testify

about the efforts she made

to reform the corrupt system

that allowed these women
to be victimized

time and time again.

All these women are asking for
is accountability.

Thank you.

Hey, Matty, what you got?

Sonia's a hero.

We're looking at the footage,
but it's taking forever

to download or upload, or...

Can you show it to me?

Yeah.

Tell me this gets easier.

I feel like
my hands are on stilts.

Give it a week. Here.

Okay.
Here's the security footage.

You see that? He knew
exactly where the cameras were

and he wanted to avoid 'em.

Well, he's a drug dealer.

Three different cameras,

and he avoided all of 'em.

He clearly scoped out the place.

Plus, he targeted Katya.

Can she help identify him?

Katya didn't
come into work today.

We think she went on a bender.

Yup, and I know where she goes.

Great.

Find her, Matty.
She's the only one

who can identify the dealer,
and he is our only lead.

Take the whole team with you.

In the meantime, I have
to restart settlement talks.

Oh. Wait here.

Matty's gonna call you
and tell you where to meet her.

You can take a company car.

Are you close?

Okay.

Thank you for coming.
I brought the stuff.

I was just...

I just was...

panicking a little,
just thinking about

coming back to all this.

I understand.

Of course you do.

It's been a long time, huh?

Some days it has.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Just have to go in,

get the information and leave.

Hold my boundary.

I've done this before.

Yeah.

Okay.

Hi, there.

I brought you guys
some tacos and Narcan.

You can never have
too much Narcan.

I'm looking
for a woman named Katya.

I think I saw her back there.

Okay.

Katya, honey.

My name is Matty.

I'm a lawyer.

I met you yesterday
in the nail salon.

I'm sorry. I just...

No, no, it's okay, honey.

You're not in trouble,
and you don't have to explain.

I just need
to ask you a few questions

about the day you relapsed.

I've said "no" every other time.

It was the bad day,
and the customer,

and the dealer came by and...

Why didn't I say "no"?

Because you have a disease.

It's a patient beast.

And whenever you let down
your guard, it pounces.

Help me.

Please help me.

I need more movement, Josh.

Neither one of us wants
to go through the whole trial.

I'm at the edge of what
my client is comfortable paying.

Like I tell my kids,
growth comes

when you push past
your comfort zone.

And trust, you do not want the
jury to hear from Katya Novik.

You remember
her deposition, right?

Actually, uh,
let's take a shortcut.

Olympia!
Katya!

Olympia, I'm sorry I ruined
everything. I'll get sober.

Sober?

Past tense.
She got sober.

Exactly, and I'll do it again.
Katya.

Let's go, okay?
Let's go.

You know,

I think I'll take
my chances at trial.

What were you thinking,
bringing Katya back here?

You were just supposed to ask
her to look at some pictures.

She needed my help.

What was I supposed to do?
Stay on task.

Show her the pictures.
She was crying.

The only thing we had was
the threat of her testimony!

What if it was one
of your twins?!

Katya is not

a piece of testimony!

She's someone's kid!

And she deserves to be treated
with dignity and respect!

Katya didn't recognize
any guards.

Great. So I screwed myself
for nothing.
Weird.

It's almost like
you're expecting us to care.

What is that supposed to mean?

Why didn't you call us?

What?
This whole time,

I've been defending you,

telling Sarah
you weren't edging us out.

I'm not edging...
Olympia told us to wait.

She told us you'd call us,
you didn't.

I just...
Went alone.

Yeah, got that.

After all that talk
about being a team.

So Katya is going to testify?

It's going to be a nightmare.

They'll position her as a liar,

say she just wants money
for drugs.

Oh, I'm sorry, sweetheart.

I went too far with Olympia.

I got mad at her.
I couldn't help it.

Madeline Matlock and Madeline
Kingston have that in common.

That's silly of me
to think I could keep a boundary

on a day like this.

So are you okay?

'Cause it was really hard
to be out there.

Edwin. Darling, come here.

Sorry.

I know.

Mom, let go!

Aah!

Thanks for grabbing 'em
from basketball.
Mm-hmm.

Oh, look,
about the brownstone...

Uh, uh, Julian, stop.

Okay, maybe it's this case,

but you have to understand,

there is so much
that can go wrong with kids.

They need stability.
And they'll have it.

Because we love them,
and they know it.

I found a few options
for new places.

All of them are
within a two-block radius

of the kids' school, and
I interviewed a moving service

that will help us pack, so,

if it's about logistics,
that's taken care of.

And personally, I don't think

moving a few months early
will traumatize the kids,

but we'll stay put
if you think it will.

Okay?

Please say you'll keep
these nails forever and ever.

I want to say "yes,"

but I nearly stabbed my eyeball
taking out my contacts.

You know, your mom got
her nails done like this once.

For prom.

Couldn't wait to show me.

She ran in all excited.

I told her
they looked like claws.

I should've just said
they were pretty.

Why couldn't Mom
just stop doing drugs?

Oh, Alfie.

She did stop...
many, many times.

It's important for us
to recognize that.

But she would always
start again.

And I sometimes feel like
if she loved me enough...

She loved you more
than anything in this world.

Unfortunately, people
like your mother and my mother--

they were born
on their back foot.

They had the gene,

and once they activated it,

they had to fight against it
every single day.

Because sobriety is
the one thing in life

you have
to get absolutely perfect.

Moderation doesn't work,
just total abstinence.

Which means you can make
the right choice 99 times,

and then you can
have one bad day.

A woman is mean,
she doesn't tip you.

All of a sudden,
you're triggered,

and then a dealer walks in.

Too hard.

I'm sorry.

I just realized something.

Remember what Katya told us,
about her bad day,

the terrible customer, the
person who made her vulnerable?

Maybe she's involved.

A female guard.

Katya worked on her nails
for hours.

I'll bet she could ID her.

Great. You get the "W" again.

But see, if it pans out,

I thought
you could tell Olympia,

say you figured it out.

That is seriously
condescending.

Yeah, Matty,
we don't want your pity.

We want an explanation.

What the hell happened?

You deserve the truth.

The truth is...

right as I was about
to call you,

I got a call
from my grandson's school.

I guess he's been
skipping class

a lot, and they're thinking
about suspending him.

I'm a single grandparent,
all on me.

And they call me right as I was
about to call you.

And... I forgot.

Honestly.

I'm sorry.

I had no idea
you were going through all that.

Oh, no, I'm the one who's sorry.

What's going on?

We think that nasty customer

could have something to do
with the framing of Katya.

You can only see her back
in the video,

but we can always ask Katya
if she remembers

what she looked like.
Great work.

But we don't need
to ask Katya.

I know exactly who that is.

Your Honor, I'd like
to admit Warden Nicola Caruso

as an expert witness.

She has been a warden
at three institutions,

and has a stellar track record.

Mr. Willis, any objections?

None from me, sir.

I agree Warden Caruso
is an expert in her field.

Thank you.

Nic... Ms. Caruso.

Oh, Mrs.

Mrs. Caruso, I'm sorry.

You were hired

to make significant changes
at the institution.

Did you have success?

I did. I changed the culture
of the prison,

and I'm proud of that.

But you kept some
of the personnel

from the prior warden, correct?

No one connected to the case.

To be clear, were you in charge

when Katya Novik alleges
her abuse took place?

No, I was not at the prison yet,
so we never crossed paths.

Never crossed paths meaning
you've never met her?

That's right.
Well,

Katya has been doing very well

since her release,

or so she had been.

She even has a job now,
working at a nail salon.

Until she had
a very bad day.

Objection.
Where's the question?

Apologies. Have you had
a manicure recently?

I...

I think it's pretty clear
I haven't.

Objection. Relevance.

Getting to it.
Your Honor, I'd like to submit

into evidence Exhibit 225B.

Mrs. Caruso,
do you recognize that woman?

Here, let me help you.

You have an identical birthmark
to the one in this footage.

We saw it earlier
when you held up your hand.

But you said
you didn't know Katya,

didn't get your nails done?

I plead the Fifth.

You knew Katya

had a history of drug abuse.
Objection, Your Honor.

And you purposely triggered her

so that she could be
more inclined

to buy from the dealer you
arranged to visit, didn't you?

I plead the Fifth.
That's okay.

You could plead the Fifth.

But I want your opinion
as an expert witness.

Why would someone

working to rehabilitate
the prison system want

to discredit a witness
who was harmed

by the old system?

Objection, Your Honor!

On what grounds? You agreed to
have her admitted as an expert.

Mrs. Caruso,
you need to answer.

I... imagine...

that someone may have thought

that the settlement money
could do more good

if it went back into the system,

where it could pay for programs

to rehabilitate prisoners,
fund more educational programs,

instead of paying out one drug
addict who chose to say "yes."

A drug addict who chose
to say "yes" is not disposable.

She is still a person who
deserves dignity and respect.

What if it were your child?

So, what do you think

that new settlement
number'll be?

Well, based off the research
I've done, which is extensive,

I...
Oh, who cares?
There's Kira!

Hi, Kira!
Stop. What are you doing?

She told me
she has lunch here at 1:00.

If you want to have
a work-life balance, darling,

you have to have a life
to balance work with.

Hey, girl!

No.

What up?

Well, lunch is what up.

Oh, I thought
you were on a break.

You brought your computer.
Well, Louie never
leaves my side.

He's the only guy
I'll ever sleep with.

Well, it's great to see you.
Oh. You know what?

I just remembered.
I got to take my dairy pill,

or else Sarah's gonna be
smelling my lunch later.

- Oh, we can't have that.
- What an appetizing thought

to share before we eat lunch.

Oh, Lord!

Ugh. Oh, you can't
take me anywhere!

Is the idea to trauma bond us?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Oh. Darling,
can you...

you get that
for me?

Oh, thank you.

You know what,

I have a sandwich upstairs.

I think I'm just
gonna go eat that.

I'm sorry, Sarah.

Looks like you'll
be eating alone.

Fine by me.

I'll eat with you.

So? Did it work?

Well,
I left 'em together, so...

rest is up to her.

I'm an optimist.

I stopped working on
her dating profile,

and, uh...

I started yours.

What? No.

Yes.
I can't.

Why not? You're raising
a grandkid on your own.

Think about how
nice it would be

to have a partner.

To go to. To lean on.

I don't think I'd survive
this place without Claudia.

So let's just...

make this, see how you feel.

I won't post it yet.
Now, come on.

Check this guy out.

Whoa.

Those thighs
are as big

as a couple of tractor wheels.

I filled out basic info,
but I'm gonna need some answers

for the questionnaire.

Gray hair or
salt-and-pepper?

Well, if you're
not gonna post it,

I-I wouldn't mind a silver fox.

Mm, silver fox it is.

What's one thing you'd want
your potential partner to know?

Why haven't you proposed
to Claudia

after dating her
for eight years?

Seems weird to put
that in a profile.

Um...

I grew up with all women.

I never had anyone to
show me how to be a...

I don't know,
a husband, I guess.

Well, did you grow up
with lawyers?

No, but that's different.
No, it's not.

You forged your own path.

You're a real catch,
Billy.

I ought to know,
'cause back in my day,

I got around.

The real question is,

is she the gal?

Yeah, she's the gal.

Aw.

You just encouraged
me with Claudia.

Sometimes...

you need a little push.

The prison settled.

Olympia wants us
to meet with her.

How was your lunch?

Good. But if you ever
trick me like that again,

I will take you
down, Golden Girl.

One brittle
bone at a time.

Ooh!

So?

The prison is paying
our women two million.

Each.

Yes!
Oh, my!

Great work,
all of you.

Billy and Sarah,

you really
stepped up.

Agreed.

But we're not done yet.

Katya said yes?

She said yes.

She's going
into rehab.

Olympia secured
a bed for her.

I don't know
if it'll stick.

Well, that's all you can do.

On that front.

On this front...

I got it.

You got it?

It's easier than cutting
off her finger.

We're not doing
that stuff, right?
Grammy!

Quick, close it. I don't want
him to know we're stuck.

We're not cutting
off fingers.

But, come on, you've seen
Mission: Impossible.

We can get a fingerprint.

I'm sorry, darling.
Can you grab that?
Oh!

Oh. Thank you.

Okay.

Madeline Kingston,

you are amazing.

I know.

So, listen,
I've been thinking.

We're gonna need

to bring Alfie in again.

Just for a little.
What?

Unless you know what to do
in a server room.

You were adamant we
shouldn't involve him.

I know.

Standing
in front of that building...

We're so close.

But you were right.

We can't let it
take over his life.

So what does that mean?

Moderation?

Okay.

Moderation.

Toots all night,

poots all day,

so come on down
to the fart café!

Okay.
That's it.

Clean your dessert.

Regret staying for dinner?

Never.

Then again, uh,
I get to leave

before they come down from
that sugar rush, so...

Mm. Speaking of leaving,

thanks for all that legwork
you did.

It helped me wrap my mind
around the possibility

of moving.

And absorb the fact that, damn,

my cardboard scheme
drove that man mad.

So where are you at?

Toots all night,
poots all day,

so come on down
to the fart café.

I'm at...

I'm scared.

I-I really think
the kids will be fine.

I know they will.

It's... me.

I'm scared to lose this.

We won't lose this.

We made this.

Toots all night,
poots all day,

so come on down
to the fart café.

You have to catch me up
on everything, okay?

I will. After dinner.

Oh, no.

It's a message
from that infernal dating site

Billy set me up on.

Grammy, does this mean
you have a date?

Putting the phone away.

Oh, no way.

I want to hear
Casanova's opening line.

Suss out my competition.

Okay.

"Madeline Kingston, is that you?

I can't believe it."

Someone recognized you.
