It's gone.

Martha?

What's gone?

They tore it down.

It's gone. Everything is gone.

Your restaurant?

Yes. They can't do that. The judge enjoined the demolition. Someone did it

because it's not here.

You screwed up, Mr. Canning.

Ms. Blufford.

Hello.

You thought you were going up against some small pro bono defendant, but I've

been bankrolled by STR Laurie to go after cases that interest me, and this

really interests me. See you in court.

Jay, I need photos of the site and interviews with the construction

We need to nail down who gave the go -ahead to the bulldozers.

They'll probably argue that it was all a miscommunication between New Orchard

Corporate and the...

contractors, so we need to get it on record.

You probably have the same problem with the railroad.

They just made that easier.

It's no longer about eminent domain. It's about unlawful seizure.

So we don't have to depose him. Now pull the injection order. Thanks, Jackie.

What the fuck?

Tell Dad if he wants to come berate me, do it himself. Don't send his Democratic

Committee lapdog.

Every time I even talk to a Republican, Dad is crawling up my ass. I'm not a

Republican, and I'm not going to vote Republican, but I might fall in love

a Republican and have little Republican children.

What Republican are you? No, no, no.

You just tell Dad to fuck off, okay? And you fuck off, too.

Right. We're ready for you. Good.

So nice seeing you, Marissa.

I thought you said Brinklandow was here for me.

No, I bet Frank Lando is here.

Fuck. I know you've heard it before. This is the most important election of

lifetime. But this is the most important election of our lifetime.

Should we get Diane in on this? No, I'd rather keep it just us for a minute.

Why?

DNC is looking to re -engage the African -American community.

Really? Presidential election comes down to Florida, Michigan, North Carolina,

Pennsylvania, Wisconsin.

All of which have huge African -American electorate.

We don't capitalize on that?

We don't take back the White House. Those are the facts.

What do you need from us?

A strategy for re -engagement. We want hearts, not just votes. An exclamation

mark agenda that gets black voters energized and turning out at 08 levels

better. Now, this is a campaign issue.

You need PR people.

Why come to us? One, you're an African -American firm.

Two, we've worked with you before on impeachment.

You fired us before on impeachment.

No, we fired you.

Yes, now I remember.

No hard feelings.

And three, we need attorney -client privilege.

The risk of a leak at a PR firm is just too high.

So, what do you say?

Damn it!

I just told our top client to fuck off. Whatever you're dealing with can't be

worse. I can't find an injunction order.

On what case?

Takata's versus Rare Orchard.

When was it? Three days ago. Maybe it wasn't entered into our system yet. I

checked the courthouse system, too.

You probably just... Not there.

Thanks. Maybe it's under a different name. Did you try the docket number?

Whoa.

What? It says there's no case. No Takatas vs. Rare Orchard. How is that

possible? I don't think it is.

Jay, I need you in the conference room.

Why? What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong. We just need you in the conference room.

Please don't tell me that.

Luca, I need you upstairs in the conference room.

What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

Why does everybody think something's wrong?

I'll be on guy. I have to go.

No, it's just work.

Because I work.

Because I'm not independently wealthy like you.

I don't always say that.

Okay. Okay, I'm hanging up now.

Because I am.

Because my boss needs me.

Okay, I'm going now.

Seriously. No, bye.

Goodbye. Bye.

Did you check the courthouse system? There's an hour's. No case, no

no docket number.

Well, there was an injunction, right? Yes. Three days ago. It was in our

You saw it? Yes. Did you print it out?

No, but we never do. It's in the system. Okay, check to see if anyone printed

out a hard copy. Maybe there's some compulsive Luddite around here. I'll go

the courthouse. Why?

Julius. I mean, he gave the order.

Right.

Want me to come?

No, I know who has a way with him.

And that leaves us with one very important question.

What's the biggest issue facing the African -American community today?

Let it all hang out. Let's hear it.

Lack of voting rights.

Okay.

Anybody else?

Racism. Police brutality.

Institutional racism.

Good, good, good.

All right, follow -up question.

What is the Democratic Party currently doing to combat racism?

The Democratic Party is doing jack shit to combat racism. Jake, Jake, come on.

And the Republicans are doing so much better. The Democrats care more about

civil rights, but where's the policy?

Laws don't get passed in a vacuum.

Yeah, but they're trying at least.

How about the Green New Deal? But that's not just for black people.

I mean, black people will benefit, yeah.

But you want me to get excited, line up the vote, maybe even miss work? Then I

want to feel like the Dems are talking right to me about me.

What gets us that feeling? Excuse me. I need to take this.

It's really interesting stuff so far.

Hey, hey, hey.

Maybe we take it down a notch on the DNC bashing.

Look at you.

Marissa! Oh, my gosh.

Well, I owe a lot of this to you. No, no, no.

Okay, some of it.

How are things at Reddick Bozeman? Or is it S -T -R, Laurie Reddick? Weird.

We call it S -T -D, Laurie, these days.

S -T -D.

Oh!

That was a false laugh, Your Honor.

So do you have a minute?

Court in five minutes, but let's keep them waiting. I have the power now.

That's what I like to hear.

What's up?

There was an injunction on a case a few days ago, an injunction against a

demolition, and we can't find it in our system. We can't find a case either.

It's something you signed.

What case?

Takates v. Rare Orchard.

It's not in the system.

Yeah, but it's something you ruled on.

Are you sure?

If it's not in the system... We're pretty sure.

Diane, this is old news. No, it's not.

We're bringing suit against Rare Orchard for ignoring a judge's injunction, but

we can't do that if we can't locate the injunction. I'm no longer on the case.

But you ruled on it.

And you know that you rule. I've had two dozen rulings since then. I can't tell

you every single thing. Julius, are you fucking serious? Don't swear in my

chamber. You know what? I never used to swear, ever. But now I find it useful.

People look at me and think I would never swear. So when I say this is

nuts, it has added meaning, and this is motherfucking nuts. I think we're done

here. Why are you doing this, Julius?

Doing what?

Pretending you didn't rule on something you did rule on. What's going on?

Who's gotten to you?

Talk to Adrian's girlfriend.

Who is Adrian's girlfriend?

I need it in court.

Maternal mortality is too gendered an issue. And black women aren't the ones

need to mobilize.

We already know.

Wait, wait, wait. Can I say something?

Yeah. There's one issue that is splashy, covers the economy, and addresses black

folks directly.

Reparations.

I'm pretty certain that reparations is at the top of the never -going -to

-happen list. But what if it weren't? But it is. The parties will go further

further left every day. There are a lot of ideas that were once inconceivable

that are now ordinary. But this is really far left.

There are a lot of black conservatives.

Maybe not Republican conservative, but definitely not AOC progressive.

And we don't want to alienate them. And how exactly do we make reparations

happen?

Practically. Just because it's complicated doesn't mean we throw up our

and say we can't do it. But we should... Do you have a minute?

For? Mr. Firth.

Sure. Sure.

Miss Lockhart, do you mind joining us?

Uh, sure.

Let's go.

He'll be right with me.

Whenever I see offices like this, I always think that we're all going to be

someday. My God!

What's funny?

No, nothing.

Liz has a dark sense of humor.

I have a dark sense of humor? Tell me.

I was just joking that we're all going to be dead someday.

You had to be there.

No, I'm right with you.

Anyway, please, come sit.

You wanted to see us.

Yes.

A young man begged a Zen master to teach him the way of truth.

So the master took the young man by the neck, dragged him to a stream, stuck his

head underwater.

The young man gasped and fought, but the master held him underwater for a full

minute. And then, just at the brink of death, he pulled him up out of the water

and asked,

What did you want most of all when you were underwater?

Air, the young man said.

Well, good, the master responded.

Come back when you want truth as much as air.

You want us to want truth?

That is one way to look at it.

You have the Democratic Committee as a client?

We do.

You're working with them now?

Yes. And you listed this as a continuation of an old case?

Is that a problem?

Only if, in fact, it's a new case.

I think I'm missing something. Why does that matter? Cases prior to the merger

are split 60 -40 in favor of RBL. New business is split 40 -60 in favor of STR

Lurie. First of all, how do you know what we're billing the DNC?

Is it relevant?

No. No, it's not.

We have a two -year grace period where we do not look at each other's books to

encourage trust.

So how did you get access to our books?

Trust is why I wanted to speak with you first.

Is the Democratic Committee new business or old business?

Old business.

Good. That is all I needed to know.

That.

So, is it no business?

I could argue it both ways.

And we argued it in our favor. That is perfectly reasonable. But the bigger

worry is, how did he know?

He's got a spy.

A spy looking at our books?

That's my guess. Who?

I don't know.

Let's put Marissa on this.

Okay, I'll talk to her.

Um, Adrian, do you have a minute for a question? Sure.

But it's old business.

No, no.

I went to Julius about the missing to Cotty's injunction, and he told me if I

wanted to know where it went, to ask Adrian's girlfriend.

What?

He said, ask your girlfriend.

So let me ask, who is your girlfriend, and why does she know about my

disappearing case?

Julius.

He's probably saying something to pass the buck.

What buck?

What is going on?

Why do I feel like I'm hearing passwords in a secret society?

There's no secret society, Diane.

I'm in a relationship with a judge. Now, it is not improper, and there are

certainly no ex parte conversations.

I just don't like my private life being made public.

Now, you know the information is power, and you lose information to other

people, and you give them all the power over you.

All right, so without telling me the judge's name, can you tell me what he

by ask her about the injunction?

All I can tell you is what I heard.

Which was?

Memo 618.

What is that?

I don't know.

I just know that Julius was really intimidated by something given to him

Memo 618.

I think that's all.

But you don't know what it is? No.

But if you want to know what happened to your case, I'll find out what Memo 618

is.

Since the merger, there have been 18 associates from STD, Lori.

Wait.

STD?

I'm so sorry.

It's a mailroom joke.

Okay.

18 of their associates have been on our cases, but only one has had access to

our financials. Who?

Caleb Garland.

Who is that?

Second -year associate, graduate of the University of Virginia, retired Army

sergeant. Retired?

What is he, 50? No, 39.

He primarily worked in litigation, but he had access to our financials on the

Brinkman suit.

Okay, can you find out more about him?

Marissa, stick with him. I don't want him sending any more gossip upstairs.

All rise.

The Honorable Charlotte Hazelwood presiding. Good day.

Please be seated. The Honorable Dalton Bradley has requested that I take his

place for this hearing.

It is... Tecates versus Rare Orchard, Your Honor, on lawful seizure.

If I may interject, I'm not sure what Ms. Lockhart is appealing here. There

no injunction granted, and my crew commands demolition.

Counselor, I must agree. What are your grounds for an appeal?

We're not appealing, Your Honor. The case was never tried.

This is our first time here.

Counselor. Anything.

Your Honor, this case has already been adjudicated.

Really?

Show us the docket number.

Counselor. Let me be the judge, please. Apology?

Mr. Canning, do you have a docket number?

Uh,

no, I don't.

Okay, then.

Let's hear some testimony.

Are you ready, Counselor? I am, Your Honor.

Okay,

let's talk about this practically.

Who gets reparations? What form do they take?

What's the price tag?

Well, the last one is easy. 40 acres and a million.

Wait, wait. Wait a second.

You all serious about this?

Because there is a model for reparations right here in Chicago.

John Burge. Right.

John Burge. He was an old Chicago police commander.

Tortured over 100 black men until the city of Chicago passed an ordinance

condemning the torture.

giving monetary damages to the survivors' families.

And then they made a history curriculum about Burge mandatory to middle and high

school students.

There's your model, right there. And the white vote is going to say none of us

were alive when slavery happened. Which is why we focus on the victims of Jim

Crow. There are plenty of survivors.

That defeats the purpose. Slavery is the original sin. The stain on America's

soul. Reparations is penance. You mean absolution.

As soon as that check clears, white America washes their hands. And I'm

you, the line will be, don't you fuckers ever complain about racism again.

People who feel like reparations, it was husband. And we're always going to feel

that. But I think you're underestimating the power of white. No, I'm not. No,

I'm not. Listen, you think about where the conversation is going.

I think people are passionate and engaged and we can translate that energy

voters. I know it's a conversation that needs to be had.

I just wonder if we need more diversity in the room.

Diversity? Just to gauge how the ideas are landing.

Hard at work?

This may look easy, but it's not. You tried peeling a rutabaga.

That's the game? You just peel a rutabaga? Just?

Seriously? I feel judged.

I didn't mean to disparage your vegetable peeling skills. I'm sure

in handy at many law firms. Also, it's fruit, and it's kind of soothing.

Do you need to be soothed?

Very personal question. Ah!

Damn.

Sorry.

So are you Caleb?

I am. Who are you?

Marissa.

Are you from upstairs?

I am.

And why are you working here?

They asked me to.

Why did they ask you to?

Um, I think to spy on you.

That's not a great way to spy, to say you're spying. I know, I'm not very good

at it.

You are very different from what I expected.

You want to play the next round?

You'll have to teach me.

Okay, this is a keyboard.

They need you two upstairs in the conference room. Us? Why?

Diversity.

Are we starting? I have a couple of questions.

David Lee. Exactly how much is 40 acres and a mule in 2020 dollars? However much

it is, it's still not enough.

Go back far enough and everyone comes from a tribe that was taken over by

another tribe. That's the history of the world. So do we all deserve

reparations? We got reparations from Nazi Germany. You maybe did. I didn't.

Our relatives did.

Listen, this idea of needing reparations is just perpetuating stereotypes.

Black folks don't need handouts.

What is he talking about? You are missing the point.

Jimmy, reparations aren't a handout. They're payment owed for services

Did you do that work?

If my ancestors picked cotton for 50 years, then they deserve that money, not

me. Here, here. Oh, my God. You got David Lee agreeing with you. Be proud.

Look, if your ancestors were paid for that work and they passed that money

you would see the family wealth, wouldn't you? Definitely.

Let's wait one second.

Vernon Jordan told me a story about growing up in Georgia.

When he was a boy, the governor came on the radio and said, I'm running for re

-election.

And I have two planks in my platform.

Niggas.

Roles.

I'm against the first, and I am for the second.

Now, this was a governor.

For Christ's sake.

Now, do we think he wasn't writing that vitriol into his official policy?

Well, I say keep the reparations. I'd rather have white guilt. That I can

leverage.

Marta. Did you have any warning about this demolition?

No, they just did it. And so what are you going to do?

I have no idea.

That restaurant was my life, my world.

I'm not exaggerating. It was the only income that I had.

My family, we don't know what. Should I continue, Your Honor? Just one second.

You may continue, Counselor.

Counselor. Yes.

Marta, you've had some negative reviews in the last few months.

Yes. And you recently discovered who wrote those reviews. Yes, Your Honor.

Relevant. Sustained.

We're merely trying to establish relevance, Your Honor. No need.

I've already ruled.

Well, how can you determine the relevance of this evidence, Advisor?

you need to move on.

Have you found that Rare Orchard was attempting to sabotage you by publishing

negative reviews? Counselor, no.

I have already ruled. Do you have any other questions or are you done?

I just have one more question, Your Honor. Does it have anything to do with

these negative reviews?

No. Good.

You may proceed.

What is Memo 618?

Judge, you know... Counselor, you are done.

Why? I'm just asking what Memo 618 is, that's all. It is not relevant to this

case. Well, the last time a judge was faced with Memo 618, my case

And I see we just handed a document with Memo 618 on it, and that's why it is

relevant.

Counselor, you are in contempt.

Why?

If Memo 618 means nothing, why should I be held in contempt?

Court is adjourned. Until when? Until I fucking decide.

Luca Quinn?

Do you mind accompanying me upstairs?

Why? It's been requested.

Hello, Luca. I'm Edie Hamm. This is Cleo and Paula.

Hi.

Have I done something wrong?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, I know Human Resources has a scary reputation, but we're just plain folk,

just like you.

Good to hear.

So, uh, why... A small thing, maybe.

There's been a complaint about a senior attorney at your firm.

But first, I need you to not share what we're about to discuss with the attorney

in question, okay?

Luca? I understand what you're asking.

Which attorney are we discussing?

Adrian Bozeman.

Well, he's my immediate superior, so I can't promise you anything.

It's up to you whether you want to share with me or not.

Apparently Mr. Bozeman used the N -word.

Oh, you're kidding.

No, and we don't find it at all comical.

We're hoping you can shed some light on what happened, and if Mr. Boothman has

used the N -word in your presence on prior occasions.

What's wrong?

I need to talk to you, Liz.

Okay. About?

I was asked not to discuss this with Adrian.

Asked by whom?

Unfortunately, I was asked not to say, but I can tell Liz.

You were asked by whom? Human Resources.

They asked me if Mr. Bozeman had used the N -word.

Jesus Christ.

When did he use the N -word? I was quoting Vernon Jordan.

Apparently, SDR Laurie has a zero -tolerance policy on inappropriate

This is bullshit.

Who told them?

They didn't say.

You know who was there in the room?

Who?

Caleb. I don't think it's him.

Why not?

Didn't he feed any info upstairs?

I don't know. It just doesn't seem like him. He's sort of honest.

In what way honest?

When I asked him why he was working on our floor, he said he was spying on us.

I'm sorry, what?

He was joking.

He was actually spying on us. He wouldn't say he was spying on us. Maybe

exactly what he would say.

It's a bluff.

You like him?

Yeah, I guess so.

Okay. Well, there's a way we can find out if he's feeding information

Tell him that we're thinking of taking on the DNC as a pro bono client in order

to keep money from STR Lori.

How do I do that?

Marissa, you sometimes blurt things out. So just blurt it out.

Maybe it was a bug on your... There.

That's the same.

Maybe it's the website. What did you do next?

I typed, what is memo 618?

What's going on?

I don't know.

Seems like targeted malware.

I'll look into it.

Thank you.

But be careful.

What do you mean?

I don't know.

Something's going on.

I'll be careful.

You still rutabagging?

No, working.

How about you?

Always working.

You sound different. What's wrong?

Nothing. I'm just... Upstairs has asked me to look into something.

Upstairs.

Not your upstairs, my upstairs.

What is it?

I've been told not to tell anyone.

Don't you want to know?

No. You were told not to tell, don't tell.

But maybe I want to tell you.

Why?

You're right, I'll just tell you.

You do whatever you want with it.

We charged the DNC as a pro bono client in order to keep the money from STR. Do

you want me to tell upstairs?

No. I want you to do what you want.

Okay.

Then I will.

How many times did you hear the M -word used?

I think he said it once.

And were you offended when you heard the word?

No. I think he was just quoting someone else.

What about the rest of the room? Do you think any of the other associates were

offended? There's always someone who's going to be offended, but being offended

doesn't mean you have to run for human resources. It shouldn't feel like going

to HR is crossing enemy lines.

We're all on the same side here. But only HR disciplines.

Because people need to feel safe in a working environment and know that there

will be consequences for poor behavior.

And a black person using the N -word is poor behavior?

We're investigating the context.

Well, I fall on the no snitching end of the spectrum.

And I realize that can be dangerous.

The last thing we want here is a culture of silence.

What did you think of the incident?

I didn't think of it as an incident.

What did you think of it as?

I didn't think of it as anything.

You report directly to Adrian Bozeman, right? I report to a lot of people.

I just wanted to clarify that there is no risk of anything you say getting back

to him.

Have you ever heard Adrian Bozeman use the M -word before?

It's possible.

I'm not keeping count.

What was the content of the story Mr. Bozeman told you?

You can summarize.

I don't think I can summarize, actually.

It's the only thing that did offend me, so I remember it pretty clearly.

The governor of Georgia actually said on the radio, I have two planks in my

platform.

Niggers and roads.

I'm against the first and for the second.

Hey, what's up?

I found out something you can use. Something I can use? I don't understand.

You think I spied on you guys, right?

No. Marissa, listen, Frank Landau is buddy -buddy with Gavin upstairs. He's

one who told Gavin it's a new case.

I didn't need to know that.

Yeah, but now you do.

Hello?

Jordan, how are you?

Is that right?

So you dragged Vernon Jordan into this?

Adrian, you'll have to start again. What are you talking about?

HR called Vernon Jordan, investigating me for the capital crime of using the N

-word. Well, unfortunately, I can't stand in the way of an HR investigation.

Oh, this is a bullshit investigation. It's not a bullshit investigation.

It is our standard to thoroughly explore any legitimate employee complaint.

This is not legitimate!

Now, I understand you need to cover your ass, but you and I both know this is

far from legitimate.

Well, what I know is that you're aware of the rules.

You didn't sign your contract that long ago.

S .T .R. Lurie, in all its divisions, has a zero -tolerance policy for

language and harassment at work.

Harassment. Wow.

Wow. It's growing now, huh? I got into this with Human Resources, and they

that the best course of action now is for everyone at Reddick Bozeman to take

class on sensitivity in the workplace.

And we'd prefer if you didn't use that word again at the office.

You would prefer.

Adrian, considering the charged nature of that word, it would be best.

You don't dictate which words I get to use or when.

What if I quit?

Okay. Call the movers.

And rent an office.

Maybe take out an ad.

Don't be so sure I'm gonna walk, Liz.

I have done it before.

I'm the one who walked.

Only because I made it impossible for you to stay. Only because I pushed you

it.

Oh, just take the class.

Just do what they want and move forward.

I mean, you know what the game is. You know how to play it.

Or don't play it. It's exhausting.

Just fuck the class. Do what you want.

What are they going to do?

Are they really going to fire their most senior black male employee because he

used the N -word in a quote?

Yeah, it sounds even more ridiculous when I say it out loud.

And don't forget about that photo.

What photo?

A couple years ago, they took that class picture of their 40 new hires and

someone online posted that there wasn't a single black face in it. And then they

photoshopped in three black faces.

They really did that.

They bought us to put us in their pictures. Oh, it makes me feel warm all

Well, the good news is that they need us.

Not just the floor.

They need us.

So do what you want.

They ain't gonna fire us.

Excuse me. Yeah, Jay.

I think we should put it on the table.

Put what on the table? It's uncomfortable to pretend that someone

the space, so let's just talk about it.

Who filed the complaint?

Jay, that is completely inappropriate.

How can we have an honest conversation about reparations and the things black

people in this country have experienced when we're tiptoeing around how this

complaint is being handled? Everyone in this room at this firm has a right to go

to HR as they see fit without fear of retribution. I'm not talking about

payback. I don't need you to fight this battle for me. It's not for you.

I think we all have a right to know.

Oh, come on. I'd rather cut my wrist than go to HR willingly.

What kills me is that this company is more concerned about making sure that

seem racially sensitive instead of actually being racially sensitive. Yeah,

quote was heartbreaking.

And the only thing that person got from it was that a bad word was said. This is

intense. Yeah, welcome.

Yeah, it's a violent word with a violent history.

But black people reckon with it every day.

It's our word. If we use it, if we don't use it, when we use it, where we use

it. You don't get to have an opinion.

Autonomy over that word is our reparation. And good.

You don't need us white people here anymore. Just wait, wait, wait. No, you

heard him. He doesn't want us here. I think we should go back to the original

group on this project. Hang on a second. You don't know for sure that it was a

white person who snatched. It could have been anyone. Yeah, well, I think we

know who the most likely suspects are. Go to hell, white people.

Hey,

show some respect. I agree with Jake. This conversation has completely

ever since we changed the group dynamic.

Well, it's still important to get different perspectives and...

Points of view. But clearly there's a limit. There's always a limit. And the

person who always gets to draw the line, regardless of race, is the person with

the most power.

Adrian, you hold the power in this room and out of it. Sometimes people have to

find alternative ways to level the playing field.

And that's exactly why departments like Human Resources exist.

So, you filed the complaint. Don't answer that. You have no right to ask.

doesn't matter who filed it.

And I don't care who the N -word belongs to. Every black person should have the

choice not to hear it in their workplace if they don't want to, especially when

it's literally part of the employer's policy.

We can all come up with reasons why we don't want to hear the word, but when it

comes down to it, you're confronting the past, and it's painful. No avoiding it.

So we're supposed to confront the past between depositions. Perhaps some of us

would prefer to do our emotional heavy lifting.

Outside the office.

Madeline, we could have talked about this privately. There was no reason to

upstairs. Oh, you want special treatment because you're a big name partner.

Well, the people upstairs are the big names now. And I think we should follow

the rules of the firm you made us join. If you filed the complaint, at least on

it. Jay, I know you don't see it this way, but this little stunt you pulled.

It's called intimidation.

I know it's a bit heated. More than heated. We have a lot of intensely

passionate people on our team, and their opinions are unwavering. And it's a

difficult subject matter. Listen, everyone at the DNC applauds your

You've obviously chosen the most off -beaten path.

We're just not sure this is the right direction for us. Thanks for your

Frank. Thanks, Adrian.

Tim and Marcus are ordering lunch.

Tim teases Marcus about how much he loves watermelon.

He accuses Marcus of having a sticky keyboard, and after a few co -workers

laugh, they move on with their day.

Who would say that was a good interaction?

Okay. Who would say that was an uncomfortable situation?

Who would say that was unacceptable?

I didn't know we could choose worse than uncomfortable. Can I change my vote?

You didn't raise your hand.

We need everyone to participate.

I don't know, Marcus.

Maybe he really likes watermelon.

Maybe Tim was correct in his commentary.

Marcus does not eat watermelon.

Then Tim has raised it.

Carly and Marie are touching up their hair in the bathroom.

You're in a mood. This is bullshit.

Welcome to corporate America.

We all have to do it. Not everyone.

No, everyone.

You see, Adrian, Liz, Diane.

They still have to do it.

Just not with a pattern.

You needed me, Miss Reddick? Yes.

Caleb, right?

Right. I just wanted to thank you for helping us out upstairs.

Sure. Just doing my job.

And if there's anything you need from us, just tell me.

Okay.

Good.

Yes? Second chair.

On? Anything.

I'm... Here to learn.

And we'll do our best to teach.

What's wrong?

I don't know.

This is weird.

I went to the same website, Bar Swarm, using my home Wi -Fi, and... No

rejection of service?

Right. There's no malware at home. But watch.

I'm on the office Wi -Fi now.

So I don't understand. The malware only attacks here?

And only when I use the firm's Wi -Fi.

So someone here is trying to freeze me out whenever I ask, what is memo 618?

No, not here.

Then where?

I'm bored. Tell me a joke. Man walked into a zoo. The only animal in the

zoo is a dog.

It's a shit zoo.

Saw that play last night. It's got to write me a poem.

Definition. Characters emerge from my subconscious.

Do you have proof of that? Do you have proof of not that?

Objection. You can't object.

Then I take great exception.

Noted.
