(TYPING)

- Down on the ground!
- (GRUNTS)

Jane? What the hell
were you going to do?

(SIGHS)

We can't lose this restaurant.

It's my entire life's work.

(MUTTERS)

- (DOOR OPENS)
- Mm. Aah! Aah!

Oh.

- Hey, it's you.
- Yeah, it's me,

your landlord. Were you
gonna binoculars me to death?

No, it's... I don't... (SCOFFS)

- I'm not awake yet.
- Okay. Whatever.

This is your reminder...
Chuck and I are going to Maui,

leaving right now for five days.

Oh, right. I forgot about that.

And we don't want you going
in the house while we're gone.

- What? I live there.
- This is the garage.

- It's a separate unit.
- No. I'm in there all the time.

And you don't go in there

- while we're not here, okay?
- Well, hold on a second.

- Where am I supposed to shower?
- I don't know. The hose.

- The hose? What? It's December.
- Or you can go to a gym.

- What am I, the family dog?
- Okay, okay, can you please?

This is one single boundary

that Chuck and I are attempting to draw.

A boundary that says you don't trust me.

(CAR HORN BEEPS)

Can you please just do this one thing?

Please? Thank you.

Yes? Okay. Aloha.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Aloha to you, too.

A skiing accident?

- Beaman broke his leg in three places.
- Oh.

Apparently, the bunny hill is
more dangerous than it seems.

So I'm picking up the slack
and inheriting the case.

And it's a Beaman case, so...

Which means, last minute,

sloppy, and you'll be
the detail-oriented one

cleaning up his mess.

Yeah. What am I even arguing again?

Motion to dismiss on
a wrongful termination.

Motion to dismiss. Okay.

PDtroniX is the company.

Here's the CEO, our client.

Graham Tate, Margaret Wright.

She'll be filling in for
your attorney Nick Beaman.

Pleased to meet you.

Uh, I've been briefed on the motion,

but I'd love to hear
the details from you.

Thank you, Francey.

So, you and the plaintiff Jane Lin...

- Founded PDtroniX together...
- Uh-huh.

- ... almost four years ago.
- Okay.

Everything was fine until
about six months ago.

When Jane's behavior became erratic,

and she became personally unstable,

and you fired her.

Erratic how?

She was disruptive to the work

- and disrespectful to coworkers.
- Mm-hmm.

There were complaints, and
she was, uh, disciplined.

It's all documented.

So, what is the basis of her suing?

Jane was let go right before the launch

of our big app Unexpected Flame.

It's a dating app that
went stratospheric... Oh.

... because of its unique design.

- Ah.
- Since she was fired before its release,

she doesn't share in its profits.

Well, contractually, she got all
the vesting she was entitled to,

up to the day she was fired.

So I assume she's looking
for a big settlement?

She stopped talking to me.

(SIGHS)

Last night she broke into
the office with a knife.

She was arrested for breaking and
entering and attempted assault.

She's out on bail, and the judge issued

a temporary restraining order.

She's just proved that her
firing was well-founded.

We'll take that to the
judge, he'll dismiss the case,

and you can move on
from this difficult time.

I'm just gonna get some
water. Be right back.

She banned me from her house.

I mean, I live there.

Can I sue her?

You live in the garage, Todd.

I wouldn't want you in my condo alone.

Why? Because I'm some plundering
vandal who can't be trusted?

Well, yes. I understand you ate
all the cereal in their house.

Oh, give me a break. It's cereal.

Cereal's for everyone, and why
did you call me down here again?

I am subbing in on a
last-minute motion to dismiss.

It should be a slam dunk,
but it's a Nick Beaman case.

So, God only knows what kind
of prep he did or didn't do.

I need you as an extra
set of eyes and ears

to catch anything he might have missed.

Great. So you trust me
with important work tasks.

Meanwhile, Allison
won't even let me shower?

Uh, trust is earned, Todd, over time.

And if you want to earn
mine, you will get in there

and pay attention. Go on, get.

The court will now hear
Jane Lin v. PDtroniX.

Wrongful termination suit.

- You had me arrested?
- What was I supposed to do?

- Tell the truth.
- You brought a knife.

- Believe me.
- (GAVEL BANGS)

We have counsel?

Yes. Uh, Margaret
Wright for the defense.

Um, and I understand

that Miss Lin is acting pro
se, so since she is on her own,

- then we'll...
- Apologies, Your Honor. Apologies.

Gus Easton for the plaintiff.

I'm sorry I'm late.

You're plaintiff's counsel?

No. No, no. Do not needle
me right now, all right?

I'm intermittent fasting
and I can't eat for another

two and a half hours, so
I have no sense of humor

- until 11:45.
- Well,

I'm just fascinated that you
would take on a violent offender

suing her former company for
what... executing good judgment?

- JUDGE: Um, Counsel, can we... ?
- MARGARET: Yes, Your Honor.

Defense's motion to
dismiss is only bolstered

by plaintiff's overnight arrest

for attempted assault
with a deadly weapon.

Your Honor, may I speak?

I'd let your counsel lead.

Oh, no. If-if my client
wants to say something,

that's-that's fine with me.

I went to PDtroniX last night

to get back what was stolen from me.

My work,

my dignity and the proof

that I designed the
Unexpected Flame app.

(GALLERY CLAMORING)

The defendant

knows every accusation made against me

is a cover-up for when they go public.

And the reason I brought a knife

last night was because
I feared for my safety.

Plaintiff is amending its complaint

to include corporate theft
of intellectual property

and stock options.

Oh, we're also amending our numbers.

Uh, just had it.

Here. Um...

That's... that's you.

Here. Thank you.

Jane Lin is now suing
PDtroniX for $360 million.

(GALLERY CLAMORING)

She seemed totally honest.

- I mean, that speech was...
- Was very compelling.

She could be telling the truth.

I mean, I'd buy it. I bought it.

Or she was coached by Gus the shark,

and that whole "PDtroniX
stole my app" story was a ploy.

That Gus Easton is very sneaky.

Wasn't he that guy in the
Northbrook Aerospace case

from a few months back?

He's all mouth and no pants.

I don't even know what
he's doing on this case.

But what if that Jane
is telling the truth?

Didn't you tell me once that
if a woman in a workplace says

her ideas have been stolen,
you should listen to her?

I did, but we don't know enough
about her yet, or this case.

(SIGHS)

I need you to approach
her off the record,

as you do, and get
some more information.

Okay. So you're deploying me as
an agent of truth and freedom?

Chaos, more like. I
need you to tread lightly

and be quiet about it.

And for God's sake, don't
compromise our client.

Okay, I will be discreet and
I will compromise nothing.

I'm deploying Lyle as well.

So you don't trust me?

We didn't start developing the app

until after Jane was gone.

But you did dump her

and strip her of her co-founder status

moments before you
were about to go public.

That was the board's decision.

They thought she was a liability,

and voted four to one to let her go.

- Who was the holdout?
- Me.

We were best friends.

I thought she'd pull it together.

I got voted down.

And we don't have $360 million.

Oh, that's just an inflated number

that attorneys use to scare you.

No, our public offering
is valued at $2 billion.

If she wins, her share
would be $360 million.

So the shark did his homework.

If the public thinks Jane's telling
the truth, they'll delete our apps,

VCs won't back us, we'll go under.

Okay, I need a bulletproof timeline

of the creation of the app
and anything that you have

that says Jane undermined
your ability to do your work.

Okay?

I am sorry about your friendship,

but I think we can still
rescue your company.

Thank you.

Thank you.

- Oh.
- Oh, sorry. (GASPS)

Oh. Here. Ah.

- Can I have a rag or something, please?
- Yeah.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Ugh. That thing's following me around.

Why? Did you have a bad
experience on it or something?

You could say that.

I created that app.

Oh, wow. Seriously?

Here, let me buy you another coffee.

Can-can I have one more of
whatever she was having, please?

- Sorry. Sorry. I'm Kevin.
- Jane.

- Good to meet you.
- Hi.

So, you, like, created created it?

- The whole app?
- Yeah.

How does that even work?

Okay, see, it's...

it's different from other dating apps.

Usually you can say,

"I want someone this
height or this religion.

Um, a dog person, not a dog
person," stuff like that.

But this one won't let
you set any preferences.

Not sexual, not gender.

Instead, it asks questions.

- Do you like horror movies?
- Ah.

More peanut butter or more jelly.

Peanut butter. Uh, and this is supposed

to help you find someone...

You might not otherwise
connect with, yes.

It's unexpected.

I-I created a profile for you

Oh. Okay.

- What?

- Dating?
- Why not?

Me? Francey, no.

I'm married. I'm...
I'm... I'm still married.

What? Are you saying
I should be dating now?

(STAMMERS)

And that Harry's never coming back?

Do you want him to come back?

Um... (CLEARS THROAT)

I met my first husband in college,

and I met Harry through friends.

And this is what people do now?

They just wipe, wipe,
wipe. I mean... Oh, my God.

- What?
- Oh, Lord. Oh, my.

Is that Gus, the corduroy pants
guy from the aerospace trial?

Gus Easton from Seattle.

He looks good.

Francey!

- Just saying.
- Look at that photo!

This is how he presents
himself to the world.

In that wrinkled shirt.

- (LAUGHS)
- There is a stain on his jacket,

right there. (SHRIEKS)

Wait. Did I match it? Did I match it?

(LAUGHING): No, no, no, no.

Don't worry. No, no, no.
You have to hit this button

- Okay, no!

- Don't. Just...

don't. No dating, no dating.

Go on, go back to work.

- No dating.
- No dating.

What about you?

Worst dating experience.

Huh. Uh... well,

I dated this woman a few years ago.

Uh, we went into business together,

and... I nearly went
to jail for her crimes.

- Ooh.
- Yeah, bad.

Lost my license and everything.

License for what?

Oh.

Cosmetology.

Hair, skin, nails, you know, whatever.

Well, the last person

I was involved with
was a vindictive jerk

at the company that stole my app.

Can you prove that they stole it?

I pitched a dating app two years ago

and got shouted down.

So, when I renewed my
contract, I carved out the idea.

I only worked on it at home,
never mentioned it to anyone.

I remember the exact day

I broke the code because
it was my birthday.

March 12 last year.

Everything was fine till
that bastard Mason showed up.

Mason?

The head of digital marketing and PR.

(PHONE CHIMING)

Oh, I got to go.

Nice meeting you, Kevin.

- Thanks for the coffee.
- Oh, sure.

And good luck with the cosmetology.

Oh, yeah. Pedicure exams
coming up next week. (CHUCKLES)

Mason, huh?

Are you sure I'm not on there?

I don't have a Johan listed.

Really? Johan Beckler?

Interviewing for a position here?

I.T. or design?

Uh, I do both, so,
uh, I'm meeting Mason.

Native or PWA?

Well, I'm from here, so native.

Are you, like, the
pre-interviewer or something?

I'm the person who fends off folks

who have no tech background,

show up with no plan,
or want to spy on us

from other companies.

- Oh, great. Um...
- MAN: Come on, everybody, you're gonna miss it.

- Aah!
- Yeah.

Oh, you know what, he's at the party.

I forgot. That was in the email.

Why don't I just wait here for Mason?

Why don't you come back when you have

an actual appointment?

Or a much better story.

Uh, you bet.

But bathroom first?

- I think I might throw up.
- Gross.

Yeah, I'm just sensitive to patterns.

Especially when someone's
wearing all of them.

Hey I, uh, got another one for you, man.

Oh, yeah.

Sure.

- Here you go.
- Yeah.

- Have a good day.
- You, too.

Now let me get this straight.

You went to our client's office.

Jane told me about this
guy at the company...

- Mason.
- Right.

Who left his own party
to shred documents

the day their motion
to dismiss was denied.

Why else if not to
cover PDtroniX's tracks?

What if Jane was right
and they did steal her app?

- She's not our client.
- Okay.

So what if our client
harmed her? What then?

Then she's still not our client.

And my duty is to zealously
represent my client

no matter what. No matter what.

But we do need to make
sure our case is airtight,

so maybe you should
continue to look into things.

Because if she is sane
and they did manufacture

- this bad behavior, then...
- Right.

I've got something. Just
AirDropped it to you.

- Do I need to hit a button?
- No, it's already on there.

Oh. Impressive.

I tracked Jane, like you asked,

and I shot this outside Graham's house

- an hour ago.
- What?

- (DOORBELL RINGS)
- JANE: You know PDtroniX

stole my computer code!

Now you'll be sorry...

Well, she's drunk.

Not drunk, she's upset.

She's more than upset.
That's a little...

- You coward... !
- (PAUSES VIDEO)

- It goes on like this for five more minutes.
- Okay.

Do you have to take this to court?

And then PDtroniX will win,

launch their new Big Brother app, and...

And we put our case to bed.

- (SIGHS)
- This is hard evidence

that she's unstable
and was fired for cause.

Our side is justified. The case is over.

Thank you, Lyle. Good work.

And now

I can delete this
ridiculous app from my phone.

Where is the delete button? Hold on.

Oh, my gosh.

Todd, is this Allison?

- What?
- Is that your sister?

On a dating app?

Does Allison really like rock climbing?

And origami? That doesn't
sound like her, does it?

And this name Claire.

Allison would never go by Claire.

Although that does look
like my red striped sweater

- she borrowed and never returned.
- Yeah.

- Look, that little hole right there.
- Mm-hmm.

Well, at least she didn't
check "looking for NSA fun."

What does National Security
Agency have to do with it?

Mom, "no strings attached." NSA.

- Are you NSA?
- Well, yes.

I've done "no strings
attached" before, yeah.

Wait, was Veronica NSA?

No, there were plenty of strings there.

- Is Lawrence NSA?
- Mom, Lawrence is married.

- Well, so is she.
- Okay, do you remember Becca?

- No.
- Exactly, 'cause there were no strings attached.

Okay, it's time to close this app.

Okay, but, but, Todd, do you think

Allison is that unhappy in her marriage?

I don't know. I thought they were fine.

Well, find out.

- Go to her house...
- And what?

I'm barred from going in, remember?

Well, go find evidence, proof.

Find that sweater. This
is your sister's marriage.

Exactly. Not yours to meddle in.

It's not meddling.

I'm her mother. This is what mothers do.

What, they invade
their children's privacy

and don't trust them
to run their own lives?

Wait, ah, ah.

I am going inside, and since you are now

Kevin the cosmetologist,

you may not join.

I want you to go find out
about this Allison issue.

Go on. Go, go, go. Now. Go.

Come out!

Worst best friend ever!

- Don't make me come after you again.

'Cause I'll keep coming
until you tell the truth!

Your Honor,

defense's new evidence
shows that this case

is a desperate attempt by the plaintiff

to wring my client dry for
money that she isn't due.

Counselor?

Uh, yes.

Plaintiff is amending our complaint.

Yeah, again. Uh, affidavits
from the phone company certifying

texts from PDtroniX's
head of digital marketing

Mason Keen to Jane Lin
after she ended their

romantic relationship.

The texts savagely harass Ms. Lin...

132 texts in all...

trying to force my client
to quit, and creating

a hostile work environment.

Uh, copies of...

Yes. Right here.

Uh... here you go.

Yeah, thank you.

(WATCH BEEPING)
- Oh. Oh!

Oh?

Your Honor, if I don't eat right now,

I don't get any food
for another five hours.

- Bon appétit.
- Yes.

My client knew about the
relationship between Jane and Mason,

but he didn't know about the texts.

Bull. Jane asked Graham for help.

Well, she didn't disclose the texts.

She only said the
relationship went south.

Went sou...

Did you read those texts?

He tried to crush her.

You are crabby when you don't eat.

I'll be better after I digest.

All right, admit you lost the harassment

and the wrongful termination
parts of the case.

Only if you admit you have
no proof the app was stolen.

I'm pretty good at fighting.

I don't run out of energy.

Oh, I know.

I've seen all the amended complaints.

You sure you want to keep going?

I have stamina of my own.

Ever been on a dating app?

What? No. (SCOFFS)

I am a married woman. I-I
am wearing a wedding ring.

People break up,

get dumped, they do crazy things.

Lie, cheat and steal.

Cover up for people who
lie, cheat and steal.

I'd keep looking into
your client, if I were you.

Oh... you forgot your muffin.

What did you find out about Allison?

Nothing.

I am not going to break

after I was told not to go inside.

Trust needs to be earned, remember?

- Fine, I'll do it myself.
- What?

No, Mom, you are terrible
at covert operations.

Mom! Seriously?

Mom. Mom.

(HUSHED): Okay, it's
my red striped sweater.

And if we find it
here, we will know that

that was Allison on the dating profile.

I don't know why you're
whispering. Nobody's home.

ALLISON: What are you doing?

Allison?

Is she here?

Yeah, hi, Todd. I
have a security system.

What are you doing in my house?

Uh, can you see me?

No. You tripped the motion sensors.

And who else would let themselves
into my house with a key?

Uh, well, uh, I have a reason.

- Okay.
- There's a... a leak.

There's a little bit of a
drip coming from the ceiling.

It's a little quiet. You
have to listen carefully.

Can you hear that?

No.

Okay, well, there's...

Now can you hear it?

No. Still no.

Okay, well, it was
really loud yesterday.

I don't know what to tell you.

Oh, my gosh.

Is this her new backsplash?

It's dreadful.

Um, is that Mom? Is Mom there with you?

No, no, Mom is definitely not here.

I specifically told her not
White Sand but Scottish Mist.

- This is heinous.
- Todd, what is going on?

Well, actually, you know what,

I think the leak is upstairs.

The bathroom near the closet,
where all the clothes are.

- Can you check for me, please?
- Yeah.

Checking.

Okay, so we checked their bedroom.

- This is the last room in the house.
- Okay.

Al, you still with me?

I'm at the beach, but, yeah,
I'm still talking to you, Todd.

Sorry.

Um, is there water on the floor?

What are you seeing?

Uh, you know what,
it's not so much seeing,

it's more hearing, but I-I think that

the drip has stopped.

Yeah. I'm not hearing anything.

(TOILET FLUSHES)

(SIGHS)

(MOUTHS)

I couldn't hold it.

Oh, my goodness,

what is the plan for all these pillows?

They don't match at all.

- I swear I can hear Mom's voice.
- You know what,

my shoes are a little
squeaky... they're new.

But, Al, I actually think
that the leak has stopped.

I think, uh, yeah, I think that we're...

- all good.
- My goodness,

this doesn't go here.

This is all feng shui...

Okay.

(STRAINING): This has
to move here, like so.

Can you just call a plumber?

You know what, I'll call
a plumber right away,

just to be safe, but, uh,

yeah, I... I... I think we're good.

You just go back to your vacation, okay?

I am leaving.

I'm leaving.

What are you doing in my office?

What are you, some kind of...

- Savant?
- ... freak?

How'd you do this?

Well, I walked past your office

and couldn't resist a puzzle.

But maybe I found something.

It's computer code,
with a key algorithm.

And a date stamp of March 12th.

That's Jane's birthday.

Wait, this could be
her breakthrough code.

But how did it get from
her private computer

to PDtroniX's shredder?

Wait, everyone's watching
everyone all the time.

Especially a tech company

that's developing a new app that
connects their employees 24-7.

It's called FamOnTheWall.

It's one of those inner circle things

that tracks location.

You know, some can monitor keystrokes,

texts, videos, and maybe even

- steal their documents.
- Steal their documents.

If Jane was there when
FamOnTheWall went into beta,

she would have put it
on her devices, too.

- Right.
- Which means anyone at PDtroniX, including Mason,

could have accessed her code.

- We got to go talk to my mom.
- Go talk to your mom.

Mom, breakthrough.

Okay, Jane created her big code

the night of her birthday.

March 12, 2021.

Mason Keen shredded
computer code dated...

March 12, 2021.

Did you really just bring me in here

to repeat "March 12, 2021"?

And PDtroniX has a
new app in development

that every employee has signed up for,

which might be spying on their work.

We need to go to the
judge and get a warrant for

all of Mason Keen's devices.

Intriguing, yes.

But I can't get a warrant
against my own client.

Oh, come on, we all know who
the villain in this case is.

Aren't defense attorneys
supposed to fight
for the little guy?

We're not gonna let her lose, are we?

Todd, PDtroniX is my client.

I am bound by the rules
of professional conduct.

My hands are tied.

Margaret, you're gonna want to see this.

Just got an email from Graham

with a video from Jane attached.

I know PDtroniX didn't steal my code.

What?

I didn't create the
Unexpected Flame app.

I'm sorry for all the
trouble I've caused, Graham.

It's all yours.

- Did she just...
- Apologize?

Throw the case?

So that's it? It's over? We won?

If you combine Jane's
breaking, entering,

attempted assault charges, and apology,

Gus won't have a leg to stand on.

I really believed Jane wrote that code.

Well, then why would
she apologize if she did?

I don't know.

Why don't I call Gus,
tell him we'll settle

on the harassment and
wrongful termination,

then maybe I can get Graham
to withdraw the non-compete.

So she'll at least be
able to keep working?

Eh, she can bounce back from disaster.

I know someone else who did.

- Gus.
- Jane's parking.

Graham, too.

I thought this room was empty.

- Why aren't you... ?
- In reception?

Waiting among all your
expensive furniture

and Christmas candy,
trying to throw me off?

I asked them to put me in here instead.

- Trying to throw me off.
- Is it working?

How did you get involved with this case?

When I joined, Jane was acting pro se.

Well, I got onto this dating app,

first one since my divorce.

I, you know, I liked the
idea that you could...

... be surprised by somebody.

Anyway, um, I looked up the
app and saw the lawsuit. You?

Um, one of our partners broke his leg.

No, I meant Unexpected Flame.

Seeing you on there
was quite a surprise,

especially with that wedding band.

So, you married or dating? Or both?

Well, I...

I like peanut butter.

Oh, sorry, I, um... Hi.

Graham, come in.

Come. Sit. Thank you.

All right. Sit down.

and she's actually a partner here.

Wait, you're working with PDtroniX.

No, no, no, I...

Yes. I just...

I believed you.

I believed that you were wronged,

and I was trying to
help from the inside,

so I just have to ask,

why did you make that video?

- What are you talking about?
- The video that you made.

Here.

JANE (ON VIDEO): I know
PDtroniX didn't steal my code.

Where are you going? Wait,
what about the meeting?

I'm getting proof of what's
mine once and for all.

- Wait. No, no, no...
- Tell them to go to hell.

Todd. What...

(ELEVATOR BELL CHIMES)

Oh, if it isn't Johann.

Oh, hey, hi.

Uh, turns out I got
a callback interview.

- Did you, now?
- Yeah. So I'm just gonna need you

to let me back there to see Mason.

Oh, Mason, who's been suspended?

Of course, right.

So, uh, my interview must
be someone else named...

- Security.
- No, no, no, that's not the name I was thinking.

- I am calling...
- Security.

Uh, Jane, wait, no, no, no, no, no.

Get out of the way.

Wait, why would you come here

and break your restraining order?

Risk everything after you apologized?

I didn't apologize. I
didn't make that video.

You tell those traitors...

It's a fake?

The apology video is a
deepfake. I'll fix this.

I will.

JANE: I didn't create
the Unexpected Flame app.

I'm sorry for all the
trouble I've caused, Graham.

Jane didn't make that
video. It's a deepfake.

Look, PDtroniX is a tech company,

so somebody there took
video footage of Jane

and married it to her voice

to make a fake apology. Here.

PDtroniX stole my computer code!

Now you'll be sorry for
all the trouble you caused!

She's using the same words
she used in the apology video.

- Exactly.
- Except her voice is different.

Voice-alteration technology, Mom.

And she was calm in the apology video.

Yes, but she's one of the founders.

So they must have just taken
some old, boring corporate video

they had on file,

and the one person who has
access to every digital file...

Is Mason.

But in order to confirm that,

we need a warrant for his devices.

Right, which is working
against our client,

and we have to play by
the rules, I know, I know.

Not necessarily so.

If Mason really was the
only one behind this,

- there is a way that everyone can win, and Jane, too.
- Okay.

I just need to... Uh,
there's something I have to...

I just need to... How
are we going to... ?

Yes, we can do this.

But I'm going to need your help.

When somebody else is speaking,

- get close to them for the mic.
- Okay.

And, uh, we have all the easy words.

- You just need to get the unique ones.
- Get the unique ones.

- You got this, okay?
- Okay, I got it. Okay.

- Let's go.
- You got it?

- I got it.
- Okay, good.

So, then you and Jane
Lin had a relationship,

- which she broke off.
- Yeah.

And after she broke it off, you sent her

132 harassing texts.

I texted her.

Did you want her fired?

Yeah. And she went right out

and proved she was crazy.

Right?

Well, she's not the
one who sent the texts

and then organized the
whole company against her.

Objection. Counsel is testifying.

Withdrawn. Your witness.

Um... (CLEARS THROAT)

- Audio works?
- Audio works.

- I hear her.
- We are a go.

As head of digital marketing,

you were in charge of
all digital content.

- Is that correct?
- Yes.

- Video.
- (WATCH VIBRATES)

Did you say "video"?

I didn't say "video."

Ah. Yes.

Yes, Mom.

Yes, that's fine.

Fam. Wall.

(BUZZING)

Um, would you consider the
other members of your team

- like a big fam?
- A fam?

MARGARGET: As if there
were no walls among you?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Would you answer in
complete sentences, please?

I don't know why you're
talking about walls.

Wonderful.

- Bonus.
- (BUZZING)

MARGARET: Uh, it must
have been a... a bonus,

- having no walls?
- A bonus?

GUS: Objection?

Uh, for... I-I don't know... weirdness?

If Your Honor would
give me some leeway...

Okay.

(BUZZING)

Being accused of
stealing must have felt...

- I didn't steal anything!
- From an ex-flame?

She wasn't a flame. She was a psycho.

Unexpected.

Was it...

unexpected?

- Again, complete sentences.
- Objection!

What the hell is this?

This whole thing is unexpected.

(GRUNTS)

Got him!

(BUZZING)

Your Honor,

I would submit that the
plaintiff is fully justified

in its accusations of my client

and its criminal
behavior inside PDtroniX.

And now we have proof.

I know exactly what I'm doing.

No, don't worry about
it, it's going to be fine.

I'm just gonna get some water.

- If you move your finger...
- How soon?

Really soon. Uh, we'll text you.

Hurry!

JUDGE: Ms. Wright,

you want to tell us what that was?

Your Honor, in-in m-matters

of wrongful termination,
the plaintiff must prove

that he or she was fired for...

You did not do all this

so that you can counsel
me on the law, right?

- (PHONE CHIMES)
- No. Oh.

I'd like to play a recording.

Oh, come on. I object.

If it proves defense has something
actually legal to do here?

The voice you are about to
hear is that of Mason Keen.

MASON: I used our FamOnTheWall
app to steal Jane's code

for Unexpected Flame and take the bonus.

MASON: What? I didn't say that!

Whatever that bitch is
doing, she deserved everything

- that happened to her.
- All right, all right, all right.

Happened to her. You mean
after you harassed her

and then used
FamOnTheWall to spy on her?

JUDGE: Ms. Wright, you are wading
dangerously close to being disbarred

for not protecting your client.

But I am protecting my client.

My client is PDtroniX,

and I believe Mason Keen is a bad actor

who created a deepfake of Jane Lin

to cover his theft of her work,
and that theft has earned him

multiple bonuses, which means
he is accepting ill-gotten gains

and is participating in an ongoing
fraud and should be prosecuted

to the fullest extent of the law.

Defense hereby requests

a warrant for his phone
and computer immediately.

You don't need a warrant.

I'm the boss, and your phone

is company property. Hand it over.

Hand it over, Mr. Keen.

(LAUGHS)

Fine.

You swizzled the app to add
spyware on every employee?

He manipulated it so he could
see what any employee typed,

even on their home computers or phones,

including Jane's.

You're fired.

GUS: And my client will receive credit

as the creator of Unexpected Flame.

With all the back pay
and bonuses she deserves.

- GUS: And restoration of full equity and all charges dropped.
- GRAHAM: Yes.

Then... maybe you'll take your job back?

No. I'm gonna form my own company.

I'll have corporate papers
drawn up by my new attorney...

Todd Wright.

Oh. (LAUGHS) Well...

we have to talk.

(SIGHS) Well, that was some seriously...

Creative.

... diabolical lawyering.

(LAUGHS) You're just mad

because I got the best
of you for a second time.

You mean by proving my client was
actually wronged by your client?

So, new settlement conference
where we all show up?

Just tell me what time of
day you're allowed to eat,

and I'll put out a real spread.

Well,

I look forward to getting
the best of you this time.

- Ah.
- You did it.

- We did it.
- Yes,

but you went to the mat
for Jane and everyone.

- Yes, I did.
- And you'd do the same for me and Allison, too.

And the other one.

- (LAUGHS)
- All your kids.

This whole meddling and controlling

stuff and snooping is just
for protection, isn't it?

Snooping?

You found my sweater in
Allison's house, didn't you?

(SIGHS) It's in my office.

Uh, I don't know.

What do you want to do about it?

Uh...

I think that no one ever really knows

what goes on inside
of anyone's marriage.

I mean, look at mine.

- Hmm.
- And even though I think Chuck is perfect for her,

I guess... put the sweater back.

And I won't say anything

until she tells me that she needs me.

Hmm.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

I don't have a four-top.

I don't know the specials.

It's your job, Francisco.

- How am I supposed to know that?
- (DOOR OPENS)

(GASPING)

God. You got to stop doing
that. I could have killed you!

With an old plastic Wiffle
ball bat? I don't think so.

Anyway, we're home.

You can shower in the house again.

Great.

Are you okay?

Yeah, just, um...

Did you sleep in my guest room?

What? No. Why?

'Cause everything in that
room is, like, nice now.

Like, the pillows and the
dresser got... rearranged.

What were you really doing in my house?

I know it wasn't a leak.

I was...

Did you put up a dating
profile on Unexpected Flame?

Mom thought she saw it when
she was working on a case.

It looked like you were
wearing her red striped sweater?

So, yeah, I went in to
see if I could... find it.

And did you?

My whole life has been designed by Mom.

Like, I was always the good
girl and I did what I was told

and I became a doctor, I married Chuck.

Do you... not love Chuck anymore?

No, I do.

I-I do. I just, um...

I just never made a
choice for myself, and...

I think maybe I wondered
what it would be like

to have something...

unexpected... happen.

CHUCK: Hey, Al, want me
to unpack your suitcase

and start the laundry?

- Al?
- Please don't tell him.

One of the nurses
mentioned the app at work,

and I downloaded it on a whim.

I-I never planned to...

We're fine.

I'll delete the app.

I barely even looked at it. I just...

Please don't tell him.

I won't. I wouldn't.

You could trust me.

Thank you.

Um...

... did you tell Mom that
you found the sweater?

No.

Okay.
