Original subtitles

No, Jack, I was actually good.

You know, usually I'm real nervous doing it, but I don't know, at the time,

something just clicked.

You know, everything after, I'm Ginny, I'm an alcoholic, you know,

it's really just a blur.

Well, I must have said something, because, you know,

People came up to me afterwards, you know.

Someone actually said that I was inspiring.

Well, yeah.

I know how to inspire you, though. That's a different story.

A lot easier, too, because, you know, I get to use my hands.

When are you coming home?

No, I told you I'm fine.

No, I'm just, uh... I'm just waiting for Meg to get some coffee.

Yeah, okay.

I love you, too.

Bye.

His name's Jake Trout, like the fish.

Yacht's his.

Those the bat.

Those aren't. Big -time lawyer, specialized in men's rights.

Helping men achieve equality with women.

Tough gig. Yeah. Family court, mostly.

Uh, so -called deadbeat dad, Trout, got the judgments reduced or thrown out

completely. Yeah, looks like they'd rather pay him than pay for their own

kids. The Johnny Sloan model.

For Jake, thanks for going to bat for me.

The word bat's in quotation marks.

You okay, Jen?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, I just think his peeps are great.

My head feels like his.

Any leads on who this pinch hitter may be? No leads, no witnesses.

Marine unit got an anonymous tip.

The slips on either side were empty last night.

There's a security guard in the shack at the top of the dock. 20 -year -old kid

making minimum wage. Says he didn't see anyone, but he's not exactly the CIA.

Hmm. What about robbery?

No signs of forced entry.

Lots of stuff to steal.

Yeah. Looks like this guy was loaded.

Had a lot of enemies, too.

I hope you rot in hell, you gum -sucking bastard.

That's sweet.

Yeah, that's one of the nicer ones.

They're all from women, too. I guess women he went up against in court and

crushed.

He's actually proud of this crap.

I'm tired of pretending.

I'm not saying what I feel.

I mean, what if the world ends tomorrow and I haven't told you the truth?

And what'd you say?

Nothing. She had time. The giant tarantula busts through the high school

grabs her, eats her face off.

How scary.

Oh, my God. I watched 15 minutes of it. I may never sleep again.

You should have called me. I would have talked you down. At 3 .30 in the

morning? I don't think we know each other that well.

Not yet.

You know, it's on every night this week, so maybe I will.

Yeah.

Oh. Hey.

Hey. Hi, Lily. Hi.

Lily and I were just going to go get something to eat. Great.

Yeah, food. Food, great, fine.

Do you want some of this? No, thank you. I just, I need to get my umbrella.

Oh, that's right.

It's supposed to rain.

It is.

Then the court ordered my client to pay $1 ,400 a month for a kid that his ex

-wife won't even let him see. Oh, yeah, how about trying to collect the $1 ,400?

Child support bounty hunter? Thank you, Peter.

Thank you.

Now, clearly, the entire justice system is weighted in the women's favor. You

mean in your favor. And the only way that men have a shot at any kind of

justice, and I tell all of my clients this, is for them to become full

divorce warriors.

armed and dangerous. I'm talking about French warfare, full -on guerrilla

action. God, divorce warriors?

Like women who are raising a child alone have time to go to war.

Yeah, this guy just likes to piss people off.

Well, the man practiced what he preached, that's for sure.

True believer.

And since his own divorce, he claimed his ex -wife took all his money,

let him see his kid, and all he's done is work.

Yeah, he's married to it. He's got a two -person law firm. He wouldn't go talk

to the partner.

Yeah, anything from forensics yet? The bat was wiped clean, and Emmy puts time

of death between 9 and midnight, right?

And Johnny Sloan, the name on the bat, client of Trout. This man had three kids

by three different women, and Trout lost a big case for him last year. He had to

give up a lot of money, so I'm going to go see him today.

What about the ex -wife? Are you taking a look at her?

That divorce was final years ago. She took the kid and moved to Paris.

Six months later, they're both killed in a car accident.

He had a kid. It was three.

Jake Jr.

He becomes a divorce warrior.

Makes sense to me.

I'm just saying. It was awkward for you. Why would it be awkward for me?

It wasn't.

I'm just saying it wasn't.

Nate. I'm just making sure.

I'll make sure the order to vacate is filed this afternoon.

Hi, I think you're looking for me. I'm Oliver Brett.

Okay, Ronnie, I'll call you later.

Ronnie, we won.

It's over.

Hi, I'm Inspector Ramirez. This is Inspector Extead.

Hi. I'm sorry we had to meet under these circumstances.

Yeah, we were surprised to find you in court this morning less than 12 hours

after your law partner was murdered. I know.

It was difficult, but...

If I'd gotten a continuance, we would have gotten a new judge, and I like the

one that we have.

That may be hard to understand, but I think this is where Jake would want me

be. Taking care of our clients.

Well, obviously, if there's anything that I can do to help in the

and find out who did this... God, it's so awful.

Well, was there anything that your partner was involved in that would have

somebody want to kill him? Inspector, this is family law.

We specialize in child support, custody cases...

They have extremely emotional clients on both sides of the aisle.

And Jake, he was tough, but he had to be.

You know, a woman just for showing up, a mother has a 72 % chance of a favorable

disposition... This is a murder investigation, okay?

Well, look, I can't give you the files because that would breach

confidentiality, but I can give you names.

Women who've been on the other side of us, so we may hold a grudge. Great, and

just for a kick, why don't you give us the men, too, okay?

So, maybe you lost a case once or twice, one of them holds a grudge.

Mr. Sneed, where were you between the hours of 8 and midnight last night?

At a bar for a while, then at dinner, then back to the bar.

With anyone?

Not formally.

But I got some key details if you want to check me out. The bartender, the

waitress, they all know me.

I go there every night, both places.

I'm kind of a regular.

We'll check it out.

Hey, you're really bashing his head.

We also wanted to ask you about... That's what it said in the paper.

I don't want to say anything bad about anyone, but a guy like Trout, that's the

right way to go.

Yeah.

Betty Wright, you did some work for her, right?

Tried.

There was a judgment against her husband for 200 grand.

Yeah, which Trout got cut down to 20.

And I still couldn't collect. I got about 6 grand a year ago, and nothing

then. Not a penny.

The guy's hiding his assets someplace. I know it.

Where do you think he's hiding them?

Well, look, if I knew, I'd go get it.

Because your clients get what? 60 % of everything you collect? I mean, that's

generous. Yeah, well, 60 % of something is better than 100 % of nothing. 100 %

of nothing, yeah.

It must be very frustrating for you when you're trying to collect on a judgment

and you can't find the money, huh?

You think it's tough on me?

That's why I'm being the kid. The father's not supporting.

So we don't have a problem here, right? I just want to be clear.

Yeah, if you keep asking me, we will definitely have a problem.

Great. Then we're cool.

You guys have plans tomorrow night? I know it bothered you. Why didn't you

tell me?

I was wondering if you wanted to come over for dinner. You and Lily.

What do you mean?

Three people, my place, dinner. Sort of a simple concept.

Eight o 'clock?

Fine. Eight's fine.

Ink is in.

I'm going to have dinner anyway. Might as well have it at your house.

So Peter Sneed's alibi checks out only halfway.

The waitress says that he definitely ate there last night.

But the busboy remembers that he got a phone call on his cell, ran out right

after that around 8 .30, and then didn't come back to the bar until after 10.

Did you ask Nate about it? Yeah, I did. He said that he went out for a pack of

smokes and was back in 15 minutes and that the busboy's got it all wrong.

Have we determined who placed the call?

Yes. Betty Wright, state's client.

She's the mother of a 10 -year -old boy.

Trout's dragged her back and forth to court six times in the last eight months

trying to reduce the judgment.

Well, I bet he might hold a grudge.

No, I would.

Yep.

Yeah, I called Peter Sneed. I just found out my husband, Marty, has more money

than he's telling, and I wanted Peter to know about it.

That's it.

Why would I go see Trout?

I saw their house.

Really? Shh. It's okay, Mom. My dad's buying a new house with his girlfriend.

Pretty big.

He can buy a house in Noe Valley, but he's got nothing for us.

Honey, would you go get Mommy a glass of water?

I have one about that age. He looks like a nice boy.

Yeah, he is.

I'm doing my best to keep this thing together, but Billy's 10.

He wants things, things I can't give him now.

And Marty not helping at all. I'm worried in a couple of months I'm going

look back at this.

That's a good place we lived in.

Trout was getting money. I don't think he works for free.

So do you think Bratt and Trout were hiding your husband's assets?

$743 ,000.

That is an awfully nice house for somebody who has no money.

Sneed always said that Marty's lawyers would do anything to keep the money from

me.

Oh, thanks, sweetie.

But finish up, okay?

We got basketball today.

Got him in an after -school program one day a week.

Marty and I, we had a three -bedroom place with a yard.

Can you tell me where you were last night?

Right here.

All night.

We watched a warrior game together.

Fell asleep on the couch.

Warriors won.

They played great.

I guess they did, huh?

Thanks for your time.

You're welcome. Thank you.

Except when to do so would injure them. These cookies are like 10 years old.

Really, they were baked before I got sober the first time. They were like

weapons, rocks.

Remember, bite into one of these, it can value your teeth. Shut up.

So you're talking to me. Good.

Like that.

Okay. As I've said on your answering machine many times, I'm sorry to talk to

Zach. I just did it because I'm worried about you. And I was wrong. I should

have been up front. Told you what I was doing.

Are there any newcomers with less than 30 days you'd like to share?

This is how I know I'll never drink again.

Imagine I'm going to stick your arm up in a situation like this. If I was new

again, I'd just shoot myself.

All right, then. Come on.

Harry, could you please read how it worked?

I'm new.

Ginny.

Alcoholic. Hi, Ginny. Hi, Ginny.

I'm new.

Alcohol would help you sleep? That's just crazy. Yes, I did. That is why I

all last week.

Listen, Jenny.

I know it was a mistake, Duffy. I know that.

I went to a meeting. I raised my hand. Just don't push me, all right? You are

not my sponsor. No, I'm not anybody's sponsor.

I went out, but I'm still your friend. Listen to me. You cannot now. No, you

listen to me.

Tonight, if you can't sleep, you've got my number.

Just call me, please.

Before you drink.

Call me.

Please.

Hey, who's there? I need to talk to you.

I was just on my way to go and pick something up. Can you give me just a

Please. Yeah.

Yeah. I had no gripes with Jake Trout.

Over the years, he's paid me a bundle of money.

Not lately, Mrs. Sloan.

Yeah, well, he was batting away over 500 and in baseball.

Maybe you haven't heard. That's pretty good.

And call me Johnny.

Why haven't you paid off on your settlement, Johnny?

Hey, you can't squeeze blood from a turnip.

Just ask Peter Sneed.

He sure as hell tried. He harassed my agent.

My accountants, my family, everyone in my damn life has ever taken a piece of

me. Maybe it's not such a good idea to have a kid with every woman you meet.

Come on now, you can't believe everything you read.

I believe in DNA tests, Johnny.

And it's a scientific fact that you've got three kids out there.

And three women who are all about my money.

Yeah.

So, about last night.

A woman named Sharon...

Anderson, I think, new girl in my agent's office.

I picked her up at 7 .30, brought her home at 2 a .m.

You a baseball fan by any chance, Renee?

Phone number, Saren Anderson.

We done?

Yeah.

Thanks, Mr. Sloan.

Johnny!

Inspector!

You hear that, baby?

How that swing sounded?

You and Nate, that is fine with me. I have absolutely no problem with it. I

didn't want it to go too far without it being okay with you. I've caused enough

problems in your life.

Lily, you know what? After Ben's illness, you are happy. You're not

anybody. I say go with God.

And what do you mean going too far with it?

Are you asking me if it's okay if you sleep with him?

A little louder. I don't think they heard you in L .A.

Lily, we're grown -ups. You don't need my permission for that.

I'm serious, though.

I really screwed up with you, you know? And if this is going to be just a little

bit awkward, I don't want to do it. It's not.

It's not.

And this is so much up to you and Nate.

I'm so happy for you.

Headaches, anxiety.

You know, it's not just...

The insomnia, you know?

I don't know. I feel like there's this weight pressing down on my life, you

know? If I could just get some real rest, some kind of relief, maybe I could

just get a handle on it. Right. Okey -dokey. I got you the ticket then.

No problem with alcohol or substance abuse.

Take two of these at night for sleep, and during the day for anxiety, take

half and...

If that doesn't work, take another half.

Well, I can't imagine taking them during the day, so... Yeah, well, if you could

imagine, don't imagine taking more than two every four hours.

And I'd be able to take care of you for a little while.

Oh, yeah, I stopped at the money machine on the way over.

It's not me, Miss X. That's just damn HMOs.

And I spent going out for them all the time I could be taking care of people.

Was there anything else I could help you with?

How's your meeting?

Weird. Bunch of alcoholics showing up.

Hey, Billy.

How you doing, buddy?

That was a good shot.

I don't think so.

I just want to know what happened last night.

Because she's a really good mom.

She just has a tough time.

Because we don't have any money.

Do you remember if

mom went out last night?

You know how important it is to tell the truth, right, buddy?

Yeah. My mom told me that.

Yeah.

You had no right to talk to my son.

What kind of people are you?

Did you wash these recently, Mrs. Wright?

I want you to leave my house.

You have to take even some evidence.

You lie.

You want to ask me out?

What, my alibi check, right?

I mean, you know I didn't kill anyone.

Yeah, that's my standard for dating, Mr. Sloan. You didn't kill anyone? Hey,

let's hook up.

Do you know who you are?

Oh, yeah, I'm Johnny Sloan. You're a jerk.

Okay, you've got three kids, about three different women. Wait, wait, wait.

Those women threw themselves at me.

You're an athlete.

Jump out of the way.

I got $350 ,000 to sign with the Giants. Right before we broke spring training

the first year, I snapped my Achilles. Oh, you're breaking my heart.

I got nothing now. I can't even play ball. Get a job. Take care of your kids.

You think those women even let me see them? They just want the money.

Why are you still here?

Hey, you ever hear of Babe Ruth called shot?

I have work to do, Mr.

Stone. I got the ball hit that day.

The actual baseball.

Sometimes I take it out and I hold it.

You want to know what I'm thinking?

I don't know. It's time to make another baby.

No, that's if I'm holding you.

God damn, Inspector, you are one fine... You know the way out.

So the son said, Mom lied.

And then she was gone for the entire second half of the warrior game, which

ended when?

10 .32.

Right. So seeing as she lives 15 minutes from Trout's boat at the marina, she

had plenty of time to get there, kill Trout, and get back.

Captain, the kid didn't mention seeing any blood on her.

Yeah, and, you know, it's a common shoe, a common size. If we go to the ADA with

what we have, we don't have enough for an arrest.

She hasn't even gone to the ADA.

You haven't tried.

Why is that?

Listen, Captain. I'll tell you what. You're bending over backwards not to

this woman for this crime.

We've got uniforms watching her apartment, Captain. She's not going

I know how hard it is to raise a kid by yourself.

You add to that no money, no support.

But if we got evidence, you're going to have to arrest this woman.

I've been thinking about it, and I just don't think it's a good idea. What? This

whole big dinner thing. You know, the three of us. Oh, okay.

Actually, it's not a big dinner, but okay. I just think I'd be too

uncomfortable. You know, I mean, you and I have this work relationship, and Lily

and I are maybe starting this thing, so, you know.

Actually, I don't, but I'm pretty sure I did just say okay.

You mean you wouldn't be uncomfortable?

No, I wouldn't. But if you would, that's fine.

Forget it.

Okay, great.

You can't arrest me. I didn't do anything.

Tell me what I did.

The tread on your shoes matched the prints on Trout's boat.

And you lied about leaving your house last night.

Well, you must be very proud of yourself dragging that out of a ten -year -old

boy. Actually, Betty, you know, we're not.

But that was a really tough position that you put Billy in, asking him to

for you like that.

I know.

That was a terrible thing to do.

Mm -hmm.

Why don't you tell us what happened?

Billy's with his father.

Billy is fine.

You need to worry about yourself right now and tell the truth.

Billy told me about the house they're buying.

My husband and his girlfriend.

So that's when you called Sneed.

I told him about the house.

Need that again how maybe Marty's lawyers were helping Marty hide the

just lost it I Called Oliver Brett you wouldn't even talk to me

He said if I really believed that I should talk to Jake Trout

so you went to the vote I Thought if I could get him to admit what he and Marty

are doing

When I got there, he was already dead, I swear.

I called the Marine unit.

I reported it.

Why didn't you tell us this before?

Because I know it doesn't look good. I knew you'd think I did it.

It doesn't look good, Betty.

Her fingerprints are on the boat.

Just on the guardrails leading down to the Thalon.

Murder weapon was wiped clean.

Why wouldn't she wipe down the guardrails?

She steps in blood when she finds the body. She panics and leaves.

I'm in that situation. I'm desperate. I think he's hiding the money.

She's being fed up.

Who wants her out of the picture?

Yeah, so let's try this again, all right? And this time, all of it.

Betty Wright called me.

She said she thought her ex -husband was buying a house. She was upset.

We talked for a little bit. And that's when you went out for cigarettes. Yeah,

don't think so.

Come on, I told you. The busboy just didn't see me come back in.

Billy saw you when you went out looking for his mom when she wasn't home.

Look at this.

You're taking the word of a 10 -year -old kid.

Don't even think about it.

You know what, Peter? It's funny.

Somehow, the more you cover for Betty Wright, the worse it looks for her. I

don't know what you're talking about.

You know she's here.

We know about the boat. She admitted it.

She couldn't have killed him. If she could do that, she would have killed her

-husband a long time ago. Now, if you believed that, you wouldn't have gone

there to stop her.

She was upset, yeah.

I went there to cool her out.

But she was already gone.

City. Are you stalking me? Because I'm feeling stalked. No, I was just

Oh, my God. Please tell me this is not still about dinner.

We'll be there. Eight o 'clock.

Betty has been over the edge lately.

Under a lot of stress.

And last night on the phone.

Oh, man.

So she called you, Marty, last night.

Yeah, screaming.

You know, about all this money she thinks I've got.

Because you'd give it to her if you had it.

Of course. The law says I have to.

That's great.

You do want to help take care of your son, don't you?

You don't have to whisper.

Billy knows I would help if I could.

Look, I'm a software engineer.

In case you haven't heard, the bottom fell out of the tech market.

Betty has never understood this.

And last night, she was just screaming about Trout, how she was going to take

care of him.

She had so much hate in her.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, last night, you know, she was just... She was filled with all this

when she called you.

She could barely speak. She was so wound up. The house, the money, hiding the

money. She was, like, bloating.

I tried to tell her it wasn't me. It was the Normans, but she wouldn't listen.

The Normans?

My girlfriend's parents. They're helping us out with the new house.

Oh.

They're actually not helping us out. They're paying for it.

But I'm going to pay him back every cent as soon as I get back on my feet.

He spoke to the girlfriend's parents, the Normans.

They're living on Social Security.

They couldn't buy Marty and their daughter a housewarming gift, much less

house. There's no record of Betty Wright calling her ex -husband on the night of

the murder.

He's setting her up, saying that she called him and threatened Trapp. You

good about this?

Mm -hmm. Go get him.

Her parents helped us. I told you. They gave us the money. Right, right, right.

They have $800 in a joint checking account, Marty. Okay? I don't think so.

No, no. See, they... Six months ago, they made some large deposits.

Six of them. Over 200 grand.

Called fraud, Marty. Your money goes to your girlfriend's parents, and they get

it cleaned through their bank. But you said it was legal.

Brat.

It was his idea.

Hiding the money from Betty, he said, was the way to go.

This is all on him.

You see, Betty found out, right? She went over to the... Shut up, Marty.

This is about you.

Brett's a lawyer, okay?

He said it was legal.

You always like this?

Like what?

Quiet.

I'm eating.

You know, it's a good shrimp.

It's got a weird taste to it.

But good weird.

Exotic.

Lemon. At work and in the car. He does not stop talking. He has an opinion

everything. Wait, so now you think I talk too much? Because I know that you

don't think I talk too much because you told me specifically that I talk exactly

the right amount whether I'm on a stakeout or driving around or doing

or anything.

So I have this uncanny intuition.

Apparently failing you now.

Inspectors, I think you know I can't get into any kind of discussion about a

client. I mean, this area is entirely protected by... Are you invoking

privilege, counselor?

Would it shock you to tell you that this is a standard?

Hiding client assets, that's standard with you and your partner, huh?

What? Marty Wright decides he doesn't want to pay child support, but you guys

take it upon yourself. When a woman decides to file divorce, you know what

first thing she does is? No, I can't wait to hear. She empties out the joint

accounts. All of them. Anything that has her name on it. If she can claim a

piece, she takes it all. Because her lawyer tells her to do it. Yeah, just

you told Marty Wright, huh? When she serves the child custody papers. When

rips the kid out of the husband's home. Well, that's done on a Friday when all

the courts are closed. When there isn't a damn thing he can do about it. You

don't do the exact same thing. Of course I do. I do worse.

Divorce is a war, Inspector, and I get paid when I win. Oh, you know what? Cut

the damn TV ads, Mr. Brack, because we don't want to hear them. We want to know

what you did with Marty Wright's money. Am I under arrest, Inspector? Because if

I'm not, I am late for court.

Senator Hooker was a guy?

You should have seen his face.

How did you not know?

Neither one of us did. It's just that he was the first one to figure it out.

I'm frisking her. Is it hot in here?

No. I'm fine.

Excuse me.

Don't talk about it.

Want some more? Mm -hmm.

Hey. Hey.

What's going on?

Nothing.

What's going on?

Nothing, Mac.

I don't know if I can describe it.

Do you want me to do this because I can handle it?

No. Come on, let's go.

Bad news, Marty. He folded.

What are you talking about?

Your lawyer, Oliver Bratt, gave you up.

No, I told you it was his idea. He said it was okay. No, it's not, Marty.

It's not okay. It's fraud, conspiracy, obstruction.

Class A felonies all over the place.

Federal bank crimes.

Hmm, let's see. What other word goes with federal?

Can you say prison?

I can help you. Oh, see, now that's funny. Scum like him helping us. Yeah,

know, we don't need your help. We've got all the help we can get from Brett.

I know some things.

About Trout's murder. Man, it stinks in here, huh?

I know who did it.

You do.

Sit down, Marty.

I want a deal.

Let's see.

You abandon your son.

You let your wife twist in the wind for murder.

But when you realize that you're going to do some time because your lawyer put

the squeeze on you... I never let my wife... Oh, she was so full of hate.

Here's your deal, Marty.

You're a part of it.

So you better tell us everything you know now.

I can't go to prison.

I have a kid.

This is not going to sound good, but this whole thing with Nate, it kind of

started when I was in prison.

You guys were in touch then?

No, no.

But that's when I got the idea of him, you know? The idea that I could be with

someone solid, a nice guy.

It's never really going to work, though. You don't know that.

Yeah. You don't know that unless you try.

There's something in the way.

Someone whose heart belongs to somebody else.

I don't think so, Lily. You know, I spend a lot of time with him, and if

serious about somebody, I usually know it. Unless it's you.

You might not know it if it's you. Well, if it is, I promise you I'm not

interested in a fight.

Good, because if you were, we'd have one.

I see the way he looks at you.

You know, and you've got him all day.

Come in.

Oh, my God.

I think I'm going to get the shrimp.

Oh.

I don't think it's the shrimp, Mr. Baffo.

The intense nausea seems to have passed.

You know, to me, the anxiety, the stomach upset, the wildly profuse

this has all the earmarks of a panic attack.

No way.

Are you sure?

No increased stress in your life lately?

No. Not at all.

I have no stress.

Who's giving Mr. Basso a ride home?

I... I can see.

No stress at all.

Love watching them sweat

Yeah,

I think the turkey's cooked going You

know when the judge asks me why I'm so late I'm gonna

tell him he is Piss off.

What?

You got some big news?

You believe this guy?

If you do, I wish you would get it out, for God's sake. I mean, I gotta get out

of here.

It doesn't work both ways, Mr. Bratt.

What is this, bizarro world?

You know, I have no idea what you two are talking about.

Privilege.

Doesn't go both ways.

Excuse me?

A lawyer.

may not be able to talk about a client, but a client, he can say anything he

wants to about a lawyer, especially if he's a criminal.

Now, hold on a minute. For example, killing Jake Trout. You have nothing.

No. We got everything.

Your client gave us everything.

He told me that Benny had called him last night, and he told her to go down

the boat. Wait a minute, wait a minute.

He said that she would have a big surprise waiting for her, a surprise

would help us out.

An ex -wife can't collect money if she is in prison for murder.

And all I got to do is just sit there and tell the cops.

Well, she was going to turn me in, for God's sake. My partner?

He found out that I told Marty how to hide his money. He said it was

Can you believe that?

Jake Trout, the big divorce warrior.

The guy who taught me.

There's no ethics in this kind of law.

That bitch Betty Rice.

All of them. The women will do anything.

We gotta be harder. We gotta be tougher.

That's what Jake always said.

Said.

He was gonna call the cops.

The California bar.

I couldn't let him do that.

I couldn't.

So the lawyer was hiding assets, just not the lawyer that we thought.

The crowd had found out about it and was going to report him.

Where's Billy?

Billy?

What the hell do you think you're doing? Mr. Sloan.

Let him go.

All right.

Are you threatening a police officer, Mr. Sloan?

Because if you put a hand on me...

We'd have to seize you, too.

That's my Babe Ruth.

You're taking my Babe Ruth. That's right. So your kids can get the

know, pay off that little pesky judgment.

Oh, you're enjoying this.

Babe Ruth's called shots.

32 World Series, Yankees against the Cubs. Hit the ball off a pitcher named

Charlie Root, I believe.

You hear that, baby?

How that swing sounded?

Take care.

I'm just saying it takes a lot of courage to come back.

I admire you.

God, you're relentless.

Well, if you're not normal, you gotta be something. And I am not normal.

I'll say.

You wanna know how I know? You and I being sober, just like...

Right now, just with you putting these chairs away, I'm happier than I've been

for six months, maybe a year.

Happy, joyous, and free.

I'm serious. I am joyous. I'm ecstatic.

Knock yourself out.

I wish there were more.

I'm not kidding.

Hey, you want to grab some coffee?

You know what? Go, go ahead. Go. Grab us a table, all right? I'm just going to

put these books away.

These are the good cookies.

X did.

Hey, you.

No, sorry. I thought it would work. I was trying to sound official.

Now I'm on my way back, actually.

I'm just leaving a meeting.

Tomorrow.

No, that's great.

Thank you.
