-[indistinct chatter] -[P.A. beeps, echoes]

RI'CHARD: You want some candy? ]

Want some vegetables?

Oh.

I know what you want.

-Ta-da! -Unc, I'm not a kid.

Oh, this is not a toy.

It's a medical device.

See, you put all your hurt in this end.

Well, go ahead. Want to give it a try?

"I'm Dustin, and my favorite uncle

"just got me this

"because he thinks I'm five years old

"and that it'll make the bone marrow transplant

suck less."

And then out the other end...

[high-pitched voice]: I'm Dustin,

and my favorite uncle just got me this

because he thinks I'm five years old

and that it'll make the bone marrow transplant

suck less.

[indistinct chatter]

-Yes, and we planned for surgery today. -Do you know how much pain

-he's been going through? -What-what's going on?

[stammers] They canceled the transplant.

No. We didn't cancel it. We're ready to go.

-Then what happened? -The donor canceled.

He was supposed to be here by 8:00.

RI'CHARD: Why? Why did he cancel?

All we know is that he promised his bone marrow

-to someone else. -DELIA: No!

We-we-we need to talk to him.

He insists on maintaining his anonymity.

I'm feeling manipulated.

It's voluntary, of course.

The bone marrow donor can back out whenever he wants.

Who are you calling?

I'm calling work.

Unfortunately, there's no plan B here, sir.

We're lawyers.

There's always a plan B.

What do you want me to do about it?

Find out who did it.

Check the elevator security camera.

-They were off. -The cameras were off?

What the fuck?!

-Maintenance was working on them. -Are you kidding me?

The one day some white supremacist puts

"Blood and Soil" stickers all over our elevator,

-and the surveillance cameras are off? -They've been off for a while.

-[phone ringing] -Check the lobby camera.

There's one hour when somebody could've done this.

Reddick and Associates.

RI'CHARD: Reddick & Ri'Chard.

-Who's in today? -No one. It's early.

on a Zoom call in 15 minutes.

And any associates you can scrounge up, bring them in.

Can I tell them what this is regarding?

It's a life-or-death situation.

[maniacal laughter]

[grunting]

Unhand her right now, you son of a bitch!

FEMALE VOICE: Thank you, Julius.

[laughs] You did? How'd you know that?

Because who else comes into the office on Saturday morning?

Ri'Chard wants everybody thon a Zoom call in 15 minutes.

-Life or death. thon -LIZ: Isn't this fun?utes.

-And fresh living. thon -LIZ: I-Bugs. his fun?ute.

Come on, just-just mother thon and son just bonding un?u.

MALCOLM [sighs]: thoWe're not going camping. n?.

thoWe're[phone chimes]ping. n?.

WOMAN: What are you doing?

I, uh, got to go.

What? Where?

To work.

[both grunting]

-I'll go with you. -[chuckles]

Um, no, no. I will, uh...

I'll see you at St. Barts.

Are you hiding me?

Come on.

Stop it.

They don't know you're gay, do they?

Um...

They don't know I'm anything.

Lock the door.

Why, why am I always doing things for you?

Everybody else does things for me.

[door closes]

[speaking in Hebrew]

[continues in Hebrew]

[phone chimes]

I got to get this.

[Zev speaking in Hebrew]

-We're all here? -ALL: Yes.

This is about my 11-year-old nephew, Dustin.

He has sickle cell disease.

And he's been in and out of hospitals

-half his life. He was supposed... -[Zev shouting in Hebrew]

-[Zev sYes, sorry. Hebrew]

Uh, he's facing -[Zorgan failure, uh... rew]

-[Zuh, we found out that rew]

How hard is it to find -[Zuh, another match?hat rew]

that Dustin -[Zumight have another... rew]

-Oh, my God! -[Z-Yes. This is not good. rew]

is being paid to donate his bone marrow to someone else.

-Which is illegal. -Yes, but not unlikely.

I need legal solutions.

-Do you know who the donor is? -No. We only know he's a male

-Do we have any legal options? -No-I don't think there's male

Unless we can prove some -manipulation of the process. le

-to follow through on a gift.. e

You'd have to prove -to detrimental reliance.ift. e

E-Either way, uh,

let's work up the lawsuit.

Uh, I'm getting court time at noon.

So we have to move fast.

Uh, Carmen and, um...

-Marissa. -Right, um...

and turn over every stone for another option.

The-the status on the database changes hour to hour,

so something might come up.

-Uh, and meanwhile, I need the partners-- -Okay, I'll come in.

I'll-I'll work on the estoppel.

Thank you.

I'm not giving up on Dustin...

until the Good Lord tells me to.

Unfortunately, I think I have to go.

Can we schedule another session on Monday?

Certainly. I hope you don't mind.

I couldn't help overhearing your Zoom call.

The nephew of one of our partners, it's just awful.

I heard sickle cell. You know, we volunteer here

helping sickle cell patients with pain management.

It's way past that. He-he has a week to live.

I'm just saying, from my work,

I'm on the board for clinical trials.

Well, what trials?

Gene-editing technology. You've heard of CRISPR?

It's like that.

Trials are proving it cures sickle cell.

Keep going.

It works like a tiny pair of scissors, snipping off

the segment of the DNA that causes sickle cell.

That's been done? Successfully?

-Yes. -Well, then why would anyone need a bone marrow transplant?

They wouldn't.

Gene editing is so new, it's-it's only in trials.

But the results are amazing.

I know the doctor doing the trials here

in Chicago, and I could introduce you.

-You would do that? -Of course.

Bone marrow matches are very rare.

So I'm gonna need you both to...

Came from the gym.

I'm gonna need you to scour

the donor databases. There are three or four.

-And what are we looking for? -According to Ri'Chard,

these are Dustin's leukocyte antigens markers.

What's our deadline?

Well, the operation can be pushed back

till Monday, but that's about it.

-This Monday? -Yes.

We should check social media, too.

That's up to you.

Uh, don't you want

to work off the same computer?

It's better if we work separately.

[shouting, clamoring]

Dr. Singh, thank you for hearing me out.

No problem. Uh, come on. They need me in triage.

-Is it normally like this? -No.

I came in to check on the trials,

and protestors started fighting around the corner.

Give me the rushed version.

Uh, his name is Dustin Gish. Here he is.

He's already in Chicago. He can start right away.

In fact, he has to start right away.

I told her you had one slot for a compassionate use exception

for sickle cell. Life or death, Singh.

Christina. We'll need the paperwork ASAP.

Just tell me where to send it. We have it all collected.

Clear a sickle cell gene-editing examination for...?

-Dustin Gish. -No, what day?

-Oh, Monday. -Monday morning.

-How old is Dustin? -11.

-Oh, shit. -What?

-Christina, never mind. -What's wrong?

11 is too young.

-Who says? -The FDA.

I don't have authorization for patients under 12. I'm sorry.

Wait.

[stammers] He's only three weeks from his birthday.

It doesn't matter. This is the FDA.

Wait until his birthday.

He'll be dead by his birthday.

Come on, Singh, what can you do?

Nothing. I don't make these stupid rules.

If I get an "all clear" from the FDA,

will you put Dustin in your trial?

Diane, I don't understand.

This isn't about bone marrow?

No, it's gene splicing.

We may have a chance for a sickle cell clinical trial.

The board has agreed

to a compassionate acceleration on its trial protocols.

Wow. Uh, how did you manage that?

Uh, one of the board members is a...

an exemption from the FDA.

What exception, Diane?

The patient has to be 12.

but I lied and I said T it was in three weeks..

I'll file an emergency motion,

get a judge involved. Uh, how much time do we have?

The clinical trial starts on Monday.

Judge Nilsson. He's, uh, he's on weekend call.

-And he doesn't like bureaucrats. -Good.

I'll make the call. So, Diane, he-he'll need to hear

from someone on this clinical trial board.

Can you get your friend to testify?

I'll try.

Thank you.

I just made the introduction. You made the argument.

-Now I'm embarrassed. -What for?

I need to ask another favor.

RI'CHARD: Your Honor, we're ready to go right now.

Yes. Okay, where? Okay.

Thank you, Your Honor. Make a U-turn.

-[stammers] The courthouse is in this direction. -He's home.

He wants us to come there. Hyde Park. South Langley.

[tires screech]

LIZ: We need to provoke this other attorney.

his authority is being undercut.

Oh, good. That's doable.

Is being a lawyer always this exciting?

-No. -All the time.

Hey, you got another one of those?

I sure do.

RI'CHARD: Do you know the words

to "Blessed Be the Name of the Lord"?

-MALCOLM: No. -Okay, well,

you're gonna learn them.

I sing it to myself

every time before I go into court.

[children clamoring]

[indistinct chatter, laughter]

-RI'CHARD: Your Honor, this is a life-or-death situation. -[overlapping chatter]

Your Honor, absent court intervention,

-Dustin Gish is going to die. -Can we keep this

on a rational rather than emotional level?

Counselor, please confine

your remarks to the merits of the case.

LIZ: Your Honor, Dustin Gish has sickle cell disease

and it has advanced to the point where the only possible option

for treatment for him is a gene therapy,

which is currently in clinical trials.

Has young Dustin

been accepted into these clinical trials?

Yes, he has.

The FDA has no word on that, Your Honor.

We will have a witness here very soon.

RI'CHARD [over phone]: Diane, how far off are you?

Diane, Understood.are you?

-We're getting close. Dian-[phone beeps off] you?

DianBecause I can drive. you?

DiaWas that a large chicken? u?

DiaAnd how old is Dustin?en? ?

during the course of treatment.

to establish testing criteria,.

the Constitution prohibits exercising that authority

in a manner arbitrary and capricious.

However tragic this set of circumstances,

the court has no authority to supersede the policy directives

of a federal agency.

RI'CHARD: Really?

Tell us more about the judge's limited role here.

ATTORNEY: I'm just saying, the court has no authority.

-So, you're saying, that, uh... -[tires screeching]

federal agencies aren't subject to judicial review?

[car doors opening, closing]

N-No, I'm not saying that as a general rule, Your Honor,

but I don't think this court is prepared to rule

on the safety of gene therapy for children.

Your Honor, here is our witness.

Your Honor, this is Dr. Lyle Bettencourt.

Uh, he's on the board of...

Ex vivo gene-based blood disorder therapy.

NILSSON: Welcome, Doctor.

Your board isn't worried about the age of this patient?

On the contrary, Your Honor.

This inherited syndrome makes no distinction

between young and old-- I don't see why our trial should.

ATTORNEY: 'Cause the FDA is the controlling agency.

BETTENCOURT: No, the FDA is the advising agency.

Hasn't this administration been saying

follow the science, not the politics?

And you believe that the science will benefit this young patient?

I wouldn't be here if I didn't believe it, Your Honor.

Okay. And what about you, young man? Anything from you?

I'm from next door.

NILSSON: Oh.

All right, come on.

Come on. Tommy's up in his room.

Okay, here's the thing.

Motion is sustained.

The court will allow the admittance of Dustin...

-Gish. -Gish...

be accepted into this clinical trial.

Now it's Saturday, and I have to play with my grandkids.

Thank you for the entertaining distraction.

DIANE: Thank you, Your Honor.

Uh, we-we're gonna need your signed approval,

per the judge's ruling.

I can text it to you right now.

-The only problem... -LIZ: Yes?

The judge passively overruled the FDA permission.

The FDA disagrees, but will honor his ruling

but that doesn't mean the FDA will pay for the clinical trial.

Oh, come on!

$9 million.

That's how much one gene therapy clinical trial costs.

LIZ: Damn it.

The FDA doesn't approve the funding.

-What about the NIH? -What about it?

2019 medical journal.

Article says NIH systematically

underfunded sickle cell research for racist reasons.

Does the family qualify for Medicaid?

I-I don't know.

Um, they're not rich.

It's a possibility. Sue Medicaid.

O-Okay, all right, Ri'Chard and I will take on NIH.

-Diane, you take Medicaid. -DIANE: Good.

-Okay. -Okay, good, good.

One hurdle cleared, onto the next.

Thanks a lot, sir.

-You were fantastic. -Thank you.

[children laughing]

He doesn't say that to many people,

so thank you.

-I'm in. -Great.

The donor number is 341-A67.

Can you get the personal info?

JAY: Rowan Carter.

Brownsville, Tennessee.

There's a number.

Marissa, you are defying the laws of physics right now.

I'm... What?

You're in two places at once.

Um...

-What are you doing here? -Hmm?

Oh, I delayed my trip to St. Barts.

I brought us some crab cakes and grits.

I also thought you might need this.

-Mm, Mindy, I'm working. -[computer chiming]

Well, I can just take the phone right back with me.

I-I need to get this, okay?

Please.

[chiming continues]

[breathes deeply]

-Hello? -Rory.

Finally we connect.

Thank you so much for your bone marrow offer.

It-it just, um, means the world to my client.

Your client?

Wait, when I saw your picture, I thought you were the client.

No. Is that a problem?

I want my bone marrow in a woman,

preferably a hot woman.

Well, Rory, uh, let me send you a photo of my client

and then you can be the judge.

[laughs nervously]

'Cause she approves of me sending some photos

-from a recent lingerie shoot. -[computer whooshes]

She's a little worried with recent chemo

that she might be a little... thin.

But she still has her hair, right?

Oh, yeah.

Luckily, she's one of the 35% that didn't lose her hair.

Except on her genitalia.

RI'CHARD: We can't get in?

No, we can't get in.

The National Institutes of Health

would be happy to wait until Monday,

-if you prefer, Your Honor. -JUDGE: No, you don't.

No one gets to use this nonsense to avoid making an argument.

You dragged me away from my Saturday card club

for an emergency hearing,

so we're gonna hold the damn hearing.

Everyone get set up.

-Uh, where, Your Honor? -Here.

Why not? "The halls of justice" indeed.

This article, "Racial Bias in Clinical Trials,"

lays out the NIH's chronic, pervasive underfunding

of sickle cell research, and according to its author...

Right. "Its author." Who is this author, Your Honor?

-Where is he? -Doctor, uh, Mitchell Wattly

is a distinguished professor of medical history

and a licensed medical doctor

who teaches at the University of Chicago.

Defendant moves to exclude.

I can't cross-examine an article.

Mr. Lane, why haven't you brought Mr. Wattly...

-Dr. Wattly. -Your Honor,

this is an emergency hearing,

-it's a Saturday... -I'm here.

She's here.

Dr. Wattly can put down his tennis racket and join us.

I would be honored to testify.

I'm very proud of that article.

RI'CHARD [over phone]: Good, good, um,

I can't right now.

-LIZ: Wh... uh, why? -[door opens]

-LIZ: Wh... uh, why? Actually I'm in rehab.

-LIZ:-Okay. uh, why? -But my wife disagrees.

-But Evanston. Why?ees.

Uh, I'm Ri'Chard, this is Liz,

and this is, uh, our cocounsel, Mal-Calm.

Good to meet you.

How long do I have before court?

Uh, we're headed there right now.

Uh, Dr. Wattly, we are so impressed

with your insights into racial disparity...

I have this really bad taste in my mouth.

Could-could we make a stop up ahead

so I can get a pack of gum?

Uh, it'll only take a minute.

Oh, there!

LIZ: Uh... I don't know.

I-I just need some gum.

It-It's no big deal.

[liquid pouring]

So you're Carmen's...?

Workmate.

And you're...

Her girlfriend.

Hmm.

So you noticed...?

That we look alike? Yep.

Is it...?

Weird?

Oh, yeah.

What are we to read into that?

I have no fucking idea.

But tell Carmen to figure out

who she really wants to sleep with.

JAY: Marissa, I've got another.

Oh, uh, okay.

-It was just taken down from the database. -Okay.

MARISSA: Hello, is this Patrick Stringer?

Yes, it is, but I can't help you.

Uh, you turn out to be buta perfect match ou.

desperate for your bone marrow.

-All he needs is... -This is Dustin Gish, right?

I'm the donor who backed out -This i this morning. right?

I can't help you.

Why not? What's wrong?

If you're worried about the operation,

it's not as painful as...

No, I'm not worried about the operation.

I don't know. Tell us.

My sister just had a kidney failure.

I have to make a choice, so I choose my sister.

My sister is more important so than a stranger.r.

If I found a kidney sofor your sister, .r.

When's your sister's operation?

Next week.

and give me until the end of the day, okay?

We're experts at this kind of organ search.

Promise me?

That's all I need. Just hope.

Okay. I'll send you the blood type and diagnostics.

and they'll have to break a rib, the so find a female kidney,s.

the so[phone disconnects] ey,s.

tAll right, Carmen, anything?e,

but it's in a donor tAll rifetishist group.thing?e,

I'm sorry, what?

There are groups of fetishists who get off on donating organs,

blood and marrow to sexy women.

Okay, okay.

Uh, we-we're suing the NIH

to pump more funds into sickle cell research.

And we're going after Medicaid.

Good, good. Uh, thank you all.

I'm-I'm, um...

I'm moved.

Um, we-we'll keep in touch.

[door opens, bell jingles]

Dr. Wattly, you were just supposed to get gum.

I did. Let's go.

[door opens, closes]

The doctor should be calling within the next hour

to set up the appointment.

You're saving Heather's life and she is gonna be so grateful.

Uh, do you think I get to meet her?

As soon as she's recovered from surgery.

I know that she is gonna want to thank you personally.

-WOMAN: What's going on? -Uh...

-Who is that? -No, it's just, uh, someone. Uh.

You've got ten seconds to tell me who you are, lady.

-Who are you? -I'm his mother,

that's who, and I'm ending this conversation.

-Don't contact him again. -Mom.

You need to stop promising your organs to strangers.

-[pouring liquid] -Getting anywhere?

-No. You? -No.

Oh, your-your friend said she had to leave.

Thanks.

I saw you two talking.

What was... what was that about?

Nothing.

The weather, favorite colors,

how we look so much alike.

Yeah, I noticed.

Really? Just today?

'Cause your friend said to tell you,

"Figure out who you want to sleep with, then call."

Oh, Marissa, I met her in a club.

She is nothing like you. Nothing.

And she started doing her hair like that later.

Got it.

Are we not friends because of that?

No, we're friends.

What are you talking about?

No, we're not.

We were, but we're not now.

Look, I was... short with you that time

because I was frustrated.

I can't show weakness in my job,

and when I'm around you, I tend to be...

nicer.

I make you nicer?

No, that is not what...

Well, okay, y-you do. Okay?

Because I'm a good person: just say it.

You are a good person.

Okay, good, because I've been missing you as a friend.

Yeah, I've been missing you.

Clearly. You've been fucking my doppelgaänger.

Okay, I'm going back to work.

[laughs]: Wait.

How've you been doing?

Not great.

Work is hard.

Yeah. Me, too.

Is that why the combat pants?

Krav Maga, baby.

I think I'm going to ask my instructor out.

Oh, really?

I think he likes me.

He'll probably drag me back to a kibbutz,

and want 12 children.

-I could see that. -All boys.

You'll have to come visit me, and we'll have a torrid affair.

[laughs]

Would it be weird if we hugged?

Okay, help me out.

I think I have a lead on a kidney.

CARMEN: Good.

[elevator bell dings]

Thank you. Thank you so much, Delia,

for coming down here.

Hi, Dustin. How are you?

Great.

Yes, actually, you-you look great.

I'd say this is one of his better days, right, honey?

It's, uh, the painkillers.

Well, I'm happy to hear that.

Um... Delia, can I talk to you a second?

Yeah.

Listen, we're trying to convince the judge

to finance Dustin's gene therapy,

so we said he would die within a week.

That is true.

But he doesn't look like that.

You want him to look not so good?

I don't want to ask that.

Just give me ten minutes.

Dustin knows what you want.

When I did my research on funding for sickle cell,

I wanted to compare it to the funding available

for another similar condition.

And what was that?

Cystic fibrosis.

Like sickle cell disease, it's inherited... [hiccups]

And, uh, were there any important differences?

Sickle cell affects 1 in 365 people,

and cystic fibrosis affects 1 in 2,500 people.

So sickle cell disease is much more common?

Yes. Much more.

Much, much more.

-Much, much... -Okay, so, uh,

what did you conclude, Doctor?

The main difference in funding

is sickle cell affects mostly Black people,

and cystic fibrosis affects white.

Objection, Your Honor.

Not in evidence.

-We just put it in evidence, Your Honor. -Overruled.

Seems pretty racist to me.

Okay. I've heard enough.

Give me 30 minutes and I'll rule.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Dustin has spent the last three years

in and out of the hospital, and I'm a single mom.

So even if I get a windfall or-or a gift or...

[coughing]

Um, Your Honor, can I...

Oh, yes, please.

[coughing continues]

ATTORNEY: Your Honor, even if Mrs. Gish's yearly income...

DIANE: Ms. Gish. She is a single mom.

[breathes deeply]

Malcolm really likes you.

[laughs quietly]

I like kids.

What are your plans for my firm?

I think it's our firm, isn't it?

Your story about being embarrassed by that firm--

the name partner showing how inadequate you were

by using a laser pointer--

that was my dad.

Let's talk about this another time.

I'd rather right now.

No. No.

Now is about my nephew.

JUDGE: Okay.

[sighs]: Here's the bottom line:

this court finds the National Institute of Health

liable for racial discrimination

and rules that they cover the cost

of the gene editing procedure.

Your Honor, the NIH intends to appeal.

Ms. Kuo, if you appeal,

this boy won't have a definitive answer for another year.

Likely two.

-He will die waiting. -Actually, the unseemly haste

with which this hearing has been conducted

is one of the issues I intend to take up

with the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.

What have you got?

LIZ: We won,

DIANE: Yeah, same here.

they want to exhaust their legal options.

tCarmen and Marissa.

Yes, we're doing our best to make it work for today.

-No, unfortunately not that late. -Uh-huh. Yeah, today.

CARMEN: We have a skin graft if you need it,

but we're gonna have to have a promise from you.

Oh, no, you wouldn't need to do that. We would send...

Well, it is getting a little bit complicated with where

we're getting the organs from

but everything's gonna work out fine.

Oh, no, I'm-I'm sure we can make that work.

So Patrick donates his bone marrow to Dustin Gish

and in exchange, he gets a kidney for his sister, Jenny,

-but... -The kidney was donated

by the Valdez family from a daughter dying of COVID,

and they also have a son who needs a lung lobe to survive.

Jesus.

I am inspired and depressed

by what it takes to stay alive.

CARMEN: So we got the lung lobe from the O'Briens.

They need a skin graft due to a recent infection.

So where does that leave us?

CARMEN: Uh, one step away.

We got the skin graft from a young woman in Detroit, but...

LIZ: But what?

She wants an egg donor.

We don't have access to any egg databases

so... fun times.

We were just about to flip a coin

to see who gives up an egg.

-Oh, my God. [laughs] -I actually think

we were going to arm wrestle for it.

-Okay. -But, uh, we warned them

that the mother would either be Black or Jewish

so either one half of America will hate their child,

or the other half will.

Oh, why stop there? Maybe both halves will.

You two are amazing.

Three.

RI'CHARD: Three.

I wish I had words. I don't.

Wh-When Dustin is 20 years old and about to go to college,

I'm bringing him back here to meet the people who saved him.

You are all amazing.

And, um, I have officially adopted you.

We're all family now.

-[Ri'Chard laughs] -All right.

Heads or tails?

Uh... tails.

They're getting him ready right now.

We've got the bone marrow, so we're ready.

Thank you. It has been such a strange day.

-Thank you. -Wait.

Can I talk to my uncle?

Yeah, uh, wait, Rich?

Dustin's about to start the treatment.

He wants to tell you something.

-Okay. -Okay.

-[squeaks] -[recording]: Uncle Rich,

and I'm going to spend my life -[re making you proud.ch,

[cries quietly]

[sighs, sniffles]

Kiss him for me.

And, uh, just so you know, we're-we're celebrating here.

Tell him to get better soon,

because he has made his uncle too emotional tonight.

I'll let you go. Love you.

-RI'CHARD: Don't be stingy. -[upbeat music playing]

-[laughing] -Thank you, man.

-JAY: Yeah. -[laughter]

RI'CHARD: Hey, Liz!

Mal-Calm! Come on!

All right, just give me one second.

I'm rearranging our camping trip.

Who wants to camp?

Camp here. We got pizza.

MALCOLM: Oh, pizza is my survival food.

[excited chattering]

[music and chattering continue]

I found a great idea for a glamping site. I'll call.

Butlers will bring you pheasant.

It's wonderful.

[laughs]

First, here's to a successful day.

So, um, are we having it out now?

Well, I have some questions that I want answered,

so you tell me.

Let's have it out now.

What are you doing with my firm?

Turning it into the top firm in Chicago.

Not the top Black firm, not the top medium-sized firm;

just the top fucking firm.

With the Lord's help.

-As revenge against my father? -Yes.

Sure.

Which means kicking me out?

No. Because you're gonna help me.

Do you know why?

I originally thought I would get rid of you

and all your partners.

But...

Today.

The way your team works together.

It's moved me.

How sweet.

[laughs]: Look, Liz,

I am a brand.

Your father was a brand, but he's toxic now.

And that's why I'm taking over.

But I want to keep all of you.

Ri'Chard & Associates.

[laughs]

-Oh, my God. -What?

The arrogance here is just blinding.

My lawyers don't want to work for a brand.

Oh, sure, they do.

If it's that or unemployment.

We want to make a difference, not sell T-shirts.

Oh, my goodness, Noam Chomsky.

How do you think we make a difference?

By all screaming and waving our arms?

No, by falling in behind one name.

One man. One parade.

Ri'Chard.

[laughs]

You are so egotistical, it...

Damn right, damn right, and that's how you get things done.

One name and an army behind it.

It'd be your name, except...

"Reddick" is over.

My name is the next revelation.

Well, we're gonna fight for this.

Oh, yeah.

But first, we get rid of STR Laurie.

Then we can go at each other.

[music and chattering continue in other room]

[phone beeps]

Dr. Bettencourt, um, I mean Lyle, hi.

I just want to say thank you for all you did today.

It actually worked out.

Dustin is going to get his bone marrow transplant.

So, just want to say thank you

and I hope I can repay you...

[gasps]

[traffic sounds]

[tires screeching, horns honking]
