Previously on Delilah. If you want to tell me what's going on? Got myself into

mess of trouble.

Turns out she was involved in a domestic dispute at the home of Fred Osborne.

Said Leah and the wife really went at it. Were you romantically involved with

Fred? There's a police report that says that you showed up at his house drunk.

I told Fred Osborne to expect a call from you. Whoever makes this go away

partner in a way that my father can't possibly question.

We've made it 20 years.

Without going up against each other. Leah Davis is going to drain your tank

nothing. You must be Miss Barnes. I am. And it is an honor. To meet you, Miss

Connelly. I'm impressed.

Then go on and hire me. Who is Miss Virginia?

The woman who owns it. She used to be in the National Symphony in D .C. How much

is it?

$10 ,000. Can I just ask, Dad? How did it sound?

How did it sound? You played the heck out of it.

Why is Christine so late?

She's not coming.

When is she going to be ready to be a mother?

Marcus, I know you want your room back.

It's been a hard five months. I completely get it. Six months and five

Have you ever used a radio like this? And Gary thought these radios were

somehow. Not faulty.

Dangerous. Mr. Shea, if you think that a flaw in something you designed could

cause problems for soldiers in the field, you can't just take the money. Go

away. I can't be caught talking about this. They're watching me.

Hey, mate. What's going on?

I'm out here on Valentine.

Yeah?

No Land Rover?

Nope. But there is an ambulance.

Leah may be on to something, Dee.

Why? What happened?

Gary Shade's dead.

He isn't dead?

I heard Neom T's face. Suicide.

Pills. That doesn't make any sense.

He said a meeting with me just last night for later this afternoon.

Well, sometimes folks keep on planning to feel better right up until the moment

they realize they can't. Are you speaking from experience, Mason?

Or are you just trying to keep me from looking deeper into this?

Now, why would I ever do that?

Just give me the coroner's report.

And Leah and Gary both thought they were being watched.

Be careful.

I get the feeling this is one of those cases where careful ain't gonna cut it,

but I appreciate the thought.

Where's this truck going? Come on now.

Everything all right? Yeah, but I got to go.

Listen, I'm sorry about earlier with Christine. If I was too strong back

She's trying her best, dude.

I hope that's true.

Hey, Nate, it's time. I'll be right there.

Yeah.

Daddy's got PT, little man.

All right?

Yeah.

Listen, I need you to take care of Auntie Dee for me, okay?

God always does. This is my little knight in shining armor right here.

What? No, not at all.

No, no way.

Sorry, Mom. I didn't come to get me.

Sorry?

I'm actually happy I get to hang out with you a little while longer.

Dad said Mom doesn't hate me.

Of course she doesn't hate you.

What do you want for dinner?

I don't know.

No ideas.

Nothing comes to mind.

You won't send me away, will you?

I hope you won't.

Dion, look at me.

This is Auntie Delilah you're talking to.

You're a part of me, child, like my hand.

Do you think I'm going to send my hand away?

No. That's right. I need my hand.

So what do you want for dinner?

I don't know.

Maybe we get some chicken fingers?

No.

What about some hamburgers? You want hamburgers? Let's get some hamburgers.

on. Let's go.

Get hamburgers.

Hey, everybody.

Look who's back.

Hey, Dion.

What's going on?

He's going to be staying with us a little while longer, so be nice.

Okay?

Told you.

Anything fresh in there? No, Marcus. I went to McDonald's and only got food for

me and Dan.

Okay, those fries are for sister.

He said share, Maya. You got those two right there.

Share, Marcus.

What? I just did.

Everybody thinks I'm the bad guy here.

I'm not the bad guy here.

Come on, Marcus. No one thinks you're the bad guy.

Not in my book.

Hey, happy Sunday.

I'm taking Leah's case.

Oh.

Sorry. Can I help you?

Wrong office.

Why are you working on a Sunday?

Prepping for this meeting with Fred Osborne.

You said that you would tell Leah no, Dee.

What happened?

Gary Shea, the engineer from Osborne who tried to blow the whistle on the C -15,

just died.

And they're calling it a suicide.

So go to Central Piedmont.

Sign up for criminal justice.

It's a two -year program.

Become a cop, prove that it was murder, but do me a favor, Dee, don't take this

case. If soldiers are being put in danger because of this radio, I can't

that. Okay, Delilah, do you realize if you take this case, everything that we

together all the time is off.

In the meantime, I'm going to have the resources of the largest firm in

Charlotte at my disposal.

And all you're going to have...

It's Leah Davis.

I might have the truth.

And with Gary Shea being dead, Leah being Leah and you being more concerned

about making partner than anything, I might be the only one that does.

I've got to get back to work.

I just meant that I know that you've worked there for long, and I understand

it's a priority.

I've got to go.

Hey, handsome, what's up?

Dan doesn't want to go to school.

Why not?

I can't find my patrol cap.

Mark, go help him find it. We looked all over. It's not here.

Did you have it on when you went to the VA yesterday to visit Daddy?

Yeah. Oh, okay. So it's there then.

Can we get it before school?

After.

Ha, told you. You have to go to school.

Shut up.

You're going to let him say that to me? Marcus, there are very few situations

where told you is going to have a positive effect on someone.

You had it coming.

Come on, babe.

Morning, Kay.

There it is.

What's the occasion?

This stupid meeting with Fred Osborne that I would literally do anything to

go away.

You think that's funny?

No, sorry, it's just... Sherwin Jr.

thought this whole thing would be a softball down the middle, and you and

Delilah would just magic negro this thing and make it go away.

You haven't even gotten the job yet, and that's already driving you crazy.

Have you ever met him?

No. Osborne's refused to be a part of the business task force as a matter of

principle.

He is old, old school Republican.

In fact, his father was one of the prime architects of resegregation way back in

2001.

That surprises you.

That 90 % of your clients over there are the same way.

No, I know about that. I'm just, I'm just thinking about me and Delilah. How

we going to navigate this if I end up pulling off this meeting today?

Just keep it separate.

You know, Jamal and I have been working together almost a year now, and we

haven't had a single problem.

Congratulations.

You're on the same team.

And Jamal respects you.

Delilah respects you.

If you heard what she said to me yesterday, you might not think so.

What did she say?

It doesn't matter.

It is what it is.

Listen.

If you want Delilah to keep it separate, you've got to show her how.

Just let it roll off your back.

And win.

Did you just magic negro me?

Yeah.

What do you think I do with City Hall all day?

The OG.

The calendar says you don't have guest thing overnight Friday.

Can we just check in early?

Christine, it's Dee. Call me back when you can, please? Thanks.

Leah's in your office.

What if we prorate it?

Okay, fine. Just put me down for Friday.

Yeah, um, and thank you.

Are you sure I should do this?

Leah, you asked me yesterday to take the case.

I'm taking the case.

Just sign it and we can get started.

What if they come for me like they did Gary?

I don't want to die.

I have an editor at the Observer ready to send a reporter over as soon as we

file this complaint.

Once you're on the front page of the Observer, you'll be safe.

And let's be clear.

We don't know that Osborne killed Gary.

It just looks that way.

So how much could we get?

That depends.

Osborne said that you were fired for other reasons, so we're going to have to

prove that they were trying to cover up what Gary said about the C -15.

Otherwise, it's just a run -of -the -mill, wrongful termination case.

So, like, a million?

If we can prove that this is a whistleblower retaliation case, you'll

more than that.

How much?

Like, five?

Leah, let's get on the same page. Look, I heard somewhere...

If Osborne knew that soldiers were being harmed by the C -15, this settlement

won't just be about the money.

This is going to have to include a stipulation that requires them to make

public.

As long as I get my money, I don't care what happens.

Great.

So, like, five?

Possibly. It's not unheard of.

Okay.

Miss Virginia is at my uncle's shop today teaching.

She just said she wants to meet you.

Why?

That's a good thing.

Mm -hmm.

What if she hates the way I play and then wants her violin back?

Just a person.

She's not just a person. Whatever.

I'll see you after school, okay? Yeah. All right.

Bye. Bye.

Men.

Hey, is it all right if I take Friday off?

Me and the girls are doing this birthday thing at Myrtle Beach.

Yeah, that's fine.

Thank you. Tell me something.

Could you work with Demetria?

Um, yeah, of course.

Okay, is there going to be a lot busier now with Leah's case?

Oh, well, I can stay Friday if you want. I was thinking more long term.

Tamara is going to bury us in Discovery.

Oh, then yeah, yeah.

Hire her.

Full speed ahead.

Okay. Can you have her come in tomorrow?

Mm -hmm.

Hey.

Did you get the coroner's report?

There was an emergency court order granted two days to the Charlotte PD.

Judge just sealed the report pending a murder investigation.

You sure you want to do this?

I don't have a choice.

What if it somehow involved what happened to Nate?

Tamara, Fred here and I met, was it Fred? Six years ago.

Five.

When he joined Quail Hollow, but we never talked business because A, you're

allowed to, it's a club rule, and B,

He was with Moody. Oh.

And I'll confess, it pissed me off.

Oh, you never missed a chance to make that clear, didn't you? Now, when

more so.

Yeah, well, that's his way.

Now, as for Tamara, Fred, Tamara joined us, oh, about ten years ago. Was it?

Twelve. And there isn't any case that comes across my desk. She isn't the

person I think of.

So?

Tamara.

Fred. It's good to meet you, Tamara. Now, Wynn tells me you're a friend of

woman representing Leah.

I am.

Any way we can leverage that to keep this off the front page?

I'd love to settle this damn thing quietly before that happens.

May I ask you one question?

Two million, not a penny more.

Well, that wasn't the question, but noted. I think that's a pretty fine

Is the desire for discretion in this case due to the nature of the work that

do for the military?

Are we talking state secrets?

We are.

But the more important reason for discretion is that I've been a happily

man for the past 27 years, and I'd very much like to keep it that way.

You had an affair with Leah.

I wouldn't call it an affair.

I made the same drunken mistake with the same person a few times.

I went here and told me you should know everything.

So that's everything.

I just want to put this behind me.

Understood.

Miss Shea, this is Delilah Connelly, the lawyer that came by your house last

week. I'm sorry to bother you again, but Gary and I were supposed to meet on

Sunday. I can only imagine what you're going through.

But if you could please give me a call back, I would really, really appreciate

it.

Thank you.

Harper. Mm -hmm?

I'm off to the VA in a grad student.

If you're a little court -runner.

Davis versus Osborne tactical.

It's really happening.

You versus camera.

This is like a Marvel movie.

I hope it's not that long.

Um, Miss Barnes wants you to call her before she can be in tomorrow.

Okay, then I'll give her a call. Okay.

Bye.

Where do you think he left it?

I don't know. Somewhere.

Pop on here.

Delilah, what a surprise.

Chief Connelly, I know, right?

You want to get a popsicle with me?

Nurse Angie said they got some brand new flavors today.

Does he visit regularly?

He's got friends from the Gulf War, Dee.

Vets who've been through this.

He took me up with him.

Great.

He's actually been a real big help.

Oh, he's been a big help?

I have been raising your son while your wife hides out like a criminal.

Hey, don't get into that again.

Oh, I'm just curious why everything I've done hasn't earned me the right to know

what's going on.

I was going to tell you.

Oh, when?

When I thought I'd have the patience to deal with how much I knew was going to

piss you off.

Where's Dan's patrol cab?

It's in my room on the TV.

I'll get it.

Just stay here. Okay.

My patrol cab.

I want to go on patrol.

All right, but just one quick one.

Okay. Let's go.

How you doing, Delilah?

Fine.

How's Frances?

She's doing very well, thank you.

Nate told me that you're visiting a lot. That's very thoughtful.

Well, I go where I'm welcome.

Can you tell me why Gary Shea's coroner's report is sealed?

I heard from Ken Anderson that your friend Mace was asking about this. Is it

murder investigation? It is, but don't ask me to see the coroner's report.

I can't do that. I would never have asked.

Listen, Delilah.

As your brother moves into the next chapter of his life, it would definitely

profit him if you and I worked together as a family.

Yeah, that's not going to happen.

Here we are.

Well, tell him, Sarge.

The perimeter is clear.

Good to know. Good to know.

Okay, come on, baby.

I'll see you Sunday.

I can't wait.

Bye, Papa.

Bye.

Well, your sister hasn't changed.

No, that's not her thing.

So this is the prodigy.

I'm no prodigy.

Perhaps not.

How did it make you feel hearing me say that?

Um, are you burning inside right now, thinking, wait a minute, I am?

Don't devalue your gift before the world has even had a chance

to decide what it's worth.

Good point.

Miss Virginia Wynne Davies.

Maya Layton.

Thank you for helping me get the violin. The sound is incredible.

Mm -hmm.

Let's hear it.

Okay.

That's enough.

That's enough Did I do something wrong?

What do you say?

Just come over.

All right.

See you tonight.

Marcus, help Deanne set the table. I just did my homework.

So you're free to help.

Where have you been?

At the music store with Flo.

Sorry. What were you doing there?

I play for Miss Virginia, and she offered to teach me for free.

For free?

How could that possibly be bad?

Who said it was bad?

The look on your face said it.

Well, who offers to do anything for free? Are you saying I can't do it?

Can we talk about the dinner?

I've got to practice. Can I do it?

Can I at least meet this lady first?

Yeah, sure.

I'll set it up.

Casey could fill that up for you, Brax, and there's nothing scarier than an

empty cocktail glass.

Whoa.

Casey did this and didn't tell me.

I mean, it seems very nice.

I just wish you would have told me.

Well, if you would have known, you wouldn't have come.

And I couldn't take another day of it, so...

Let's get you a drink. And you look beautiful.

Shut up.

Okay, we have homemade pizza on the menu.

And Casey has his best friend Jamal handling the crust.

Hey.

You've done that before?

The man's a natural.

I don't know about that.

He's a natural at everything.

Hey, baby, can you get this lady a Negroni?

Love to. Not too strong. I'm driving.

Double strength.

We've got to talk.

I'll split the difference.

I hope you like pizza. Ooh, but I wouldn't give to be massaged like that.

So strong.

You see them hands? You know I'm standing right here, right?

So is she.

There you go.

Thank you.

Delilah's strength.

Oh, I can't wait to see what that is.

Cheers. Oh.

To you.

Now, if you wouldn't mind, come with me so we can make some legal history.

The fastest settlement negotiation ever.

How many of these does she have?

The whole history of American jurisprudence was made by drunk white

wavering over martinis. You give a black female lawyer a drink and all of a

sudden y 'all are just making faces. See, that is sexism right there and

too.

Come on. It was nice meeting you.

It was nice to meet you, too.

Hey, buddy. What's up?

Dad. Nothing much, just popping in to say hi.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Actually, I was wondering if it'd be cool if I come stay with you for a

Yeah, how long a while are we talking about?

Just until Dion goes home.

Yeah, um... How long is he staying?

I don't know, man.

Forever?

Oh, um... Well, that's kind of, uh...

Something I have to talk to Mom about.

Yeah. Yeah, I was just wondering if it'll even be, like, you know, possible.

Yeah. Let me, uh, let me give Mom a call.

Thanks, Dad.

Hey, I... Marcus, I'm not saying it's gonna happen. I'm just saying I'm gonna

talk to Mom, all right?

Well, okay.

Thanks. Bye.

What did he want?

Nothing.

You know, I don't want to meet your kids.

Cut to it. I know.

No pressure, though.

I know.

He's better looking than Gordon.

I'm quite equally good looking.

And no elbow patches.

And he's Casey's best friend, so that means you and me would be double dating

again.

What? Unless this case is over.

Okay, yeah, about that.

Fred said Leah made up this crazy story about the radios to get back at him

because he wouldn't leave his wife. He said that they had an affair.

Leah didn't tell you this?

No.

He admits that he fired Leah in a less than appropriate way.

He admits that he panicked when she told him she was in love with him.

He was scared that she was going to blow up his marriage.

Okay, I can see that look, Delilah. Let me just say, I hope that we can agree,

this does not make Fred look great.

Copping to having an affair with his secretary, especially that one.

I'm believing the story. Wait, just wait a minute. And he's willing to put down

two million to make things right.

Your girl could walk away from this, Richard and the both of us. He could

be copping to this and rushing to settle because he doesn't want to face

punitive charges if we go to court and find out he oversaw the cover -up of

Shea's findings. Dee. And then had that man killed. Enough with the conspiracy

theories, okay?

This is good news.

He wants to settle.

He's willing to pay. Leah has never seen money like this.

Let's end this mess.

Tonight.

What? Does he have any proof of his version of the story?

There is no his version of the story, Dee.

It's the story. I'm saying, like, photos, text, hotel receipts, anything I

see. You know, Leah, it happened.

Hello?

Hey, Carly.

This is Cindy Shade.

Can you come over here?

There's something here you need to see.

this week when it happened.

We had visitors here non -stop to see the baby and I was so tired.

The last thing Gary did was tell me to take a nap.

When I woke up, I found him with the empty pill bottle.

Is this his prescription?

Just came in the mail today.

The empty bottle. The bottle the police took would have only had two or three

left. Not enough to kill a person.

I don't think so.

Do the police know this?

No, not yet.

They said they were opening an investigation, but... I didn't want to

Gary's parents until I knew for sure what I wanted to do.

About what?

I have something to show you.

What?

Gary's office.

Sorry, it's kind of a mess.

I have kids. I'm used to it.

When Gary retired, he signed an NDA.

He was supposed to surrender all, you know, company property.

He didn't.

I've been scared to tell anyone because I don't want to have to give back the

money.

These are all files from Osborne?

What kind of files?

I don't know.

No one can know I have them.

Hello? Hey, Dee, it's me.

Uh, listen, this, uh... This Dion thing's kind of getting out of hand.

What damn thing?

Marcus called me tonight.

He said that Dion's still living there.

He's leaving soon.

Yeah, but it's not fair to Marcus.

Not fair?

You know what's not fair, Gordon?

You leaving your children without a father in the house.

Dee, you threw me out. You cheated on me several times, Gordon.

You kept me one of your students. What was I supposed to do, build you a

By the way, you still haven't paid me my $200.

I just paid $5 ,000 on a brand new violin for a daughter.

Just to make me look bad.

You know what, Dee?

I'm going to go before you say something you're going to regret.

Oh, yeah, do me a favor.

Come on, we gotta go.

I have to make a stop before work, so let's go.

Christine.

I was going to call you back.

And say what?

Honestly, I'm here now. Just tell me what you were going to say when you

me back. I'm right here.

Delilah, I'm sorry.

I'm not like you.

I can't just give and give and give. What are you talking about?

I didn't want Nate to go on that second tour.

I told him not to. But he didn't, Christine.

And here we are.

Dion is your son.

Doesn't that do anything to you, hearing his name?

Are you on some medication that keeps you from feeling anything?

Please tell me if you are, because then I won't feel like I'm the crazy one

here. I'm not a place where I can take him back, Dee.

I'm sorry I'm not.

Well, are you in a place where you can take your husband back?

Because in six weeks, he's coming back home.

What, is that on the table too now?

You're just telling everybody to go to hell? You need some space? Come on!

Go on.

Go around.

Everything's going to work itself out.

But you coming around here like this won't help.

And who the hell are you?

I'm a friend of Nate and Christine.

You're a friend of both of them, huh?

That's right. That's right.

Andre.

Anthony.

The party playlist is fantastic.

I would maybe consider opening with a song other than Single Ladies because

pretty sure she's back with us.

No, I said the same thing.

Oh, I gotta go. I gotta go.

Oh, what is all this stuff?

Evidence for the tactical lawsuit. There's more. Yeah.

Oh, the Observer is sending a reporter.

Oh, that's great.

You need to call Ms. Arnott.

Ms. Barnes, it's Delilah Connelly.

Thank you for calling me back.

Harper said you wanted to speak with me?

Yes, I was assuming you were calling to offer me a job.

That's correct.

Well, I just thought, uh, I want you to know what kind of package I'd be

expecting. I might be way out of your price range.

I've got 50K in health insurance.

Take it or leave it.

How about a 401K?

If I give you one, I have to give Harper one, too.

You want what?

I'll tell you in a sec.

You know, I don't need you to contribute to it.

I just want it in place.

Deal.

Can you start tomorrow?

I will see you then.

Looking forward to it.

Okay.

Told you.

Leah.

Is everything okay?

Well, I'm going up against the biggest law firm in town

with a client who's willing to do anything to win, possibly up to and

killing people.

My client won't stop lying to me.

And my best friend, if I'm being honest, is starting to piss me off.

It's fine.
