Original subtitles

The law firm Jacobson Moore hid documents that could have taken opioids

market ten years earlier.

Think of how many lives that could have saved, including our daughter.

Thanks for letting me email with Alfie. It's been really cool. Getting to know

his father has meant a great deal to him.

Why are you hiding a missing Paul Berks' study about opioids?

Maddie took the document out of the building to bring it to the Times.

stop. This is too much. Eva's ready to stage the coup if I can secure the votes

needed from New York.

A coup?

Well, the law firm Lamar and Olsen would have merged.

My dad had a stroke.

Senior asked me to do him a favor, to take pictures of Julian's date book.

Nothing like this will ever, ever happen again.

I know it won't, Sarah, because I am going to move you off my team.

You hold on to this. What if Senior's outfit is banned trial?

Then I hope to God you do not turn in Julian.

I need an Adam and Eve, Rick 'em, and a shingle with a shimmy and a shake, and

86 to Calgary.

Scrambled eggs coming right up. Jam on that toast, Alfie. On it. You Calgary,

bruh? Playing for butter, bruh. Oh, no, don't 86 that. I want the butter. We're

trying to get Joey tired of the lime cook, not gum up your artery.

Don't talk back, ma 'am. The customer is always right.

Okay, stub it up, chef.

I got a crabby old geezer breathing down my neck.

Toast up.

Quarter up.

Two eggs scrambled.

Toast.

Good texture.

Good taste.

If you had just whisked the yolks about another 15 seconds, the whole thing

would be lighter. The diner on the Lower East Side, he's going for fast and hot.

Oh, very hot and it's very fast.

Perfect. And on that note, I should get to work. Good luck today, Joey.

And, uh... We'll see you here tomorrow night for your birthday dinner?

Can't wait.

And I actually just heard my sister and her family will be in town last minute.

Any chance they could join?

Don't worry. I'm the only degenerate in the family.

Laura's the middle school teacher. Her husband's a detective.

A detective? Wow.

Wow. What do you think of that, Madeline?

Well, I can't detect any reason to say no.

Hi, Dad.

Do you know who this is, Mr. Markston?

Exactly.

And he's a good one. Been here every day.

It's okay.

Your words will return.

His blood vessels are very delicate right now, so we want to keep him calm.

stress. Okay.

Hi. Hi.

It's okay.

You're doing great, Dad.

I love you.

I love you, too, Dad.

I don't love dinner with a detective.

You're going to have the FBI over for dessert, too? Well, I didn't have a

choice. The look on Alfie's face.

Well, see if he's got any tips on how to infiltrate the Sydney Opera House.

They didn't fall for your audit or routine. I went with Panicked

Speaking of the Panicked Associates, since Billy is taking time off... Addie,

stop.

I'm not giving Sarah her job back.

She kept something huge from me. She feels terrible, Olympia. So do I.

But I need people around me I could trust.

Trust is everything.

Son, I'm going to have to hang a bell around your neck.

Sorry. Can I grab Olympia? Sure.

I'll get ready for that meeting with Jack Alvarez.

He lands in 15.

Well, actually, this might take a while, family stuff.

Prep Jack on the proceedings, and if he gets upset that I'm not there, redirect

to his kids.

It'll make him happy, guaranteed. He must not have teenagers.

See you later.

How's your dad doing?

There will be a lot of physical therapy, speech therapy, but overall really

well.

That's a relief.

Yeah, I know.

Olympia, I can't put him in jail.

What? Belvin has an NDA. No one else is coming out of the woodwork. We don't

know that. We do. The thing happened almost 15 years ago. Let's put it to

Please. I want another chance with my dad.

Okay? And I hear you.

But... What?

He's an old man.

Our kid's grandfather. You really want to see him sitting in jail?

Let me just think about it.

Okay? Okay.

Need to check with Maddie.

What?

Why do I need to talk to Maddie? Stop. Stop.

Stop. I followed you back to the brownstone, and I saw you give her the

And yesterday, I met with my lawyer, so I know my nuclear option.

There is no need for a nuclear option.

Okay, just let me explain.

That I was right? That Maddie and Belvin were working together, and you gaslit

me into thinking that I was paranoid?

Because Maddie wanted to put you in jail at first, and I convinced her to focus

on your father.

And yes, I gave her the study as collateral to stop her from going to the

Okay, to assure her that there would be justice.

Ever since I found out you did this, I have been trying to protect you.

That is the honest to God's truth.

Hiya.

So, what did Olympia say about my job? Whoa, Nellie. Back up a little bit,

sweetheart. You're triggering my fight or flight.

Sorry.

Olympia needs a little more time. There is no time.

Maddie, I need to be attached to someone.

Layoff Barbie is here.

Layoff who now?

Well, that's what I nicknamed her on Slack.

Gwen something.

She's here from Lamar and Olsen to evaluate personnel ahead of the merger.

And she is coming.

Look down and look busy. Maddie. Yeah? The city settlement came in on Daniel

Pearson way too low. And I...

Didn't see you there.

Don't want to interrupt. Just introducing myself around. I am Gwen

of personnel at Lamar & Olson.

Trying to get a sense of the who's who and the what's what as we combine into

one lean, mean legal machine.

Love that. Hi, I'm Sarah Franklin.

Nice to meet you. Oh, you gave me the nickname on Slack.

You have access to Slack.

Swung by the floater pool.

What are those bloodthirsty fish that swim around?

Sharks. Not sharks.

Anyway, doesn't matter. Floater pool?

How's the scoop?

I'm really sorry.

It was a bad joke.

No problem. Jokes make my job easier.

I know who to target with my heat -seeking missile of doom.

Ha! That was a joke, too.

I promise I am not here to fire anyone. I just make recommendations based on

observable redundancies.

And you must be Maddie Matlock.

Sure am. And whatever you heard, it never happened, and it twerped me.

It's funny to boot. I like that.

Now, where is Billy Martinez?

Out sick.

Very, very sick. Vomiting, and we've got him covered.

Yay! So no need for him to return.

Job eliminated.

Kidding again.

I'm going to keep introducing myself.

It was nice to meet you two.

Usually three.

Now do you see why I was panicked?

Okay, I'll see what I can do after I meet with Jack Alvarez.

What do you mean Olympia isn't coming?

It's a personal emergency.

Believe you me, Mr. Alvarez, if she had any concerns about your case, she'd be

here. And legally, it's pretty boring.

Born's a blessing.

Remind myself every day about that, raising a teenager.

How old are your kids again?

My daughter's 13, my son is 10.

And did Olympia tell you to bring them up so I'm not so grumpy?

Yeah, she sure did, but that doesn't mean I don't want to see pictures.

All right. All right.

That is Luca, and that is Aliana.

Well, you tell these two gorgeous kids the terms of your federal grant are

clear. I mean, as long as you're hitting your emissions goals, the government

has to fund the expansion of your solar farms. So we'll get an injunction based

on promissory estoppel.

That's a lawyer talk for, screw y 'all, give us our money.

Excuse me.

Perfect timing.

What's going on with Julian?

Quite a bit, actually.

Have a seat, Maddie.

No, don't look at Olympia.

I know her version of events. I want to hear yours.

Events concerning?

Let's start with why Olympia gave you the well breakfast study.

The what?

Why don't you put your phone on the table face up so I know you're not

and tell me what you think you know.

Alrighty.

Now, turn around.

If what you told me is true, what's the problem?

Go on, Maddie. Start at the beginning.

You were right.

Emily and Belle then told me what was going on.

When?

When? Yeah, when did she tell you?

Right before she got fired.

Unbelievable.

Maybe I got my timing wrong, Juliet.

What just happened?

I said Belvin read you in after she was fired. Okay.

We can't wait any longer.

We have to turn Julian in. We can't. He's a loose cannon. Aimed at me.

He's already lawyered up. And he is ready to take me down with him if we

him into the DOJ. And the circumstantial evidence is bad. I worked on Will

Brexler with him. I was at the bank.

Then I go and get a safe installed in my home. Okay.

Calm down. We'll think of something else. Okay?

We'll lay a trap for him.

Or...

We tell them the truth.

About? Who you are.

Your daughter.

No.

We got caught in a lie because we're lying. If we tell Julia what's really

behind it, he'll understand why I lied.

What all this means to you. Or he'll panic.

And he'll tell his father.

Not with their history, I promise you.

Senior has screwed him over too many times. Are you 100 % sure about that?

Well, then it's too big of a risk.

All right.

Okay. The senior just woke up.

We have a little bit of time to figure this out.

We need a way to guarantee that Julian is choosing us over him.

A real reason.

Concrete. Well, just give him back the study.

He'll know that you made a copy.

You have a loaded gun.

He needs one.

Some kind of collateral.

I know what to give him.

Hey there.

Hey. Kids had no school.

Rachel thought they'd like to see the legal system in action.

Jack Alvarez.

Hands behind your back, please.

Whoa, excuse me. I am his attorney. What is this about? Wait a second. What's

happening?

Immigration and custody enforcement.

Step back. What are you doing?

He's an American citizen. I can assure you he's not. Who's taking him? Excuse

me. Do not touch me.

Okay. I just spoke with our top immigration attorney. He already has a

DHS. In the meantime...

You need to tell us everything, Rachel.

Jack knew his parents were undocumented, but he thought he was born here. He

learned he wasn't when he applied for college, but he was scared. He didn't

to expose them.

When did you find out?

Right before he got married, we consulted lawyers.

But if he tried to get citizenship through me, it would put his family on

radar, and there was no way to guarantee that he wouldn't be deported or them.

And it just...

Felt like too much of a risk.

Exactly. Our whole life was at stake.

We thought that if he paid taxes, followed the law, came back to the

Well, we convinced ourselves this would never happen.

Hi -dee -ho.

I had a few follow -up questions about workflow.

Oh, sure.

I just, I have a meeting, so I don't have a ton of time. Oh, if I take a ton

time, then I am not a very good efficiency expert, am I?

I'll walk you there.

So you and Maddie and Billy all support Olympia? We sure do. Could you make do

with two people? If one of you takes the generous severance package being

offered? Unfortunately, that's not going to happen. We're all very devoted to

Jacobson Moore and to Olympia. Oh, gotcha. Well, it's worth the ask.

Thanks for the intel.

My pleasure.

Is that your meeting?

I should probably go in. Go ahead.

Okay. I will.

Talk soon.

Definitely.

Bye. Bye.

As soon as we locate Jack, our next step will be to arrange a bond hearing.

He has strong community ties and a low flight risk.

Did you need something?

Just to apologize?

For being late. Um, I'm Sarah Franklin.

Oh, Rachel, since we can't talk with Jack, you'll need to fill us in on his

history. Yes, okay. I've just got to get my kids home. My mom's meeting them

there. Uh, I can text them if it will help.

Uh, it would actually.

Is that okay?

Um, just... Let's talk logistics.

What the hell was that?

Desperation. The Lamar and Olsen efficiency expert is circling like a

Sarah, please.

I know I'm off the team, but she's talking about severance packages, and

know I can research, and it's all hands on deck.

Fine. Drive the kids home. And I need that writ of habeas corpus. And do not

look so happy.

This is temporary.

How long do you have to stay in Queens?

Oh, I don't know.

Olympia has to convince Julian to align with us.

And she's got an idea about collaterals.

But until that happens, he could follow me home to Westchester.

Yeah, makes sense.

Listen, I know you're going to be disappointed, but I think we should push

Joey's birthday dinner.

We knew you'd say that, but Grandpa and I discussed it already.

First, you can't push a birthday.

And my cousin and I have been talking, and we're going to play soak song

together. We can handle the dinner.

With the detective?

Well, he's not going to show up with a basset hound and a magnifying glass.

We'll just get our story straight.

It'll be a piece of cake.

Birthday cake.

Well, we should go over the plan.

We will. Don't worry. Love you. Bye. Love you.

I love you, too.

Hi. Olympia.

I'm just calling to check on the collateral.

Yes, I have it. Sorry, I didn't text, but we just located Jack, and the

government's already initiated their removal proceedings.

Oh, God. No.

Yeah.

Your Honor, Jack Alvarez is a perfect candidate for cancellation of removal.

To qualify, he has to show good moral character.

Exhibit A.

Testimonials from neighbors, records of charitable donations, studies showing

that his company...

Solar Canyon Group has created hundreds of jobs.

Well, this is pretty impressive.

Any response, Counselor? No, Your Honor. I can't wait to see what's in that

second binder.

Exhibit B.

Proof of extreme hardship should Jack be deported.

Affidavits from psychologists attesting to the irreparable trauma that Jack's

children would suffer.

Well, this seems to satisfy both prompts.

I just have one exhibit in response.

We're eco -friendly at the DOJ.

In 1993, Jack Alvarez pled guilty to burglary in the third degree.

It was sealed. As I'm sure the court is aware, burglary is a crime involving

moral turpitude in absolute bar to cancellation of removal. Your Honor, the

government is unsealing a document for the first time so that I'm at a

disadvantage. I request a recess so that we can examine the underlying elements

of this particular conviction.

You've got 24 hours.

The Immigration Detention Center is still denying us access to Jack.

Rachel doesn't know all the details, but she said Jack was arrested after a

peaceful college protest.

So, we have to piece together exactly what happened. I did. Here's a police

report. Basically, there was a sit -in at the chancellor's office to try to

the university from buying merchandise from sweatshops. Jack was the organizer.

Cops were called. He pled guilty to third -degree burglary. Probably because

knew that if he fought the case, his immigration status would be revealed.

Exactly. But I did a deep dive into CIMTs, crimes involving moral turpitude,

if we can prove that Jack's conduct wasn't vile, base, or depraved, the

won't qualify.

Unfortunately, the cops from 32 years ago are retired.

Damn it. But I found someone who was there that night, and he remembers what

happened.

And he's coming in.

Okay.

I know it must seem like I'm a crazy stalker, but I promise I'm not.

Which, I guess, is what a crazy stalker would say.

I just wanted to get my notes right, because I swung by the floater pool

Oh, no. Oh, yeah.

They sure do track rumors down there. Much like those fish that circle up when

they smell blood. Sharks. Not sharks.

Anyhow, you're no longer working for Olympia, according to the monkfish.

Really sharp little teeth.

Right.

Well, I don't know what the monkfish in the floater pool said, but it is not

true. Oh. I am definitely still working with Olympia.

Terrific!

Phew!

Then she won't mind signing this document formally acknowledging your

Thanks. Oh, yeah.

Busted a lot of crime.

Primarily, bike theft.

In my 40 -plus years as a campus security guard, I probably spent 20 of

writing up reports about bike theft.

Send your kids to college with a titanium U -lock. Got it? How old do you

I am?

So, how in the world can you remember that particular night?

Because when I first got the call to go to the Chancellor's, I thought it was

about hanky -panky.

That was the other half of my job, policing the hanky -panky. Used to find

in the quad, in the stacks, the chem lab.

So, the night of the sit -in. Right. I was expecting to find a 10 -10.

That's the security code for... Hanky -panky. Bingo!

That's usually what I'd find at the Chancellor's.

That's why I remember this night.

Did you see any crimes being committed, any theft, violence?

Nope. Kids were just hanging out in the living room.

I'll take that over a 10 -10 in the mashed potatoes any day.

There was a living room in the Chancellor's office?

The Chancellor's office is inside the Chancellor's residence.

It's a home office.

So the sit -in took place in his home.

If it's at a residence, it's a crime of moral turpitude no matter what.

You got your old office back?

Wow. Let me guess.

Your dad reinstated you to senior associate.

Makes sense. He had a health scare. He's feeling vulnerable. So now he's leaning

on you.

It won't last, Julian. You should go.

He is the same man who looked you in the eyes and said, what document?

And you're the same woman who lied to my face for months.

That's why I'm giving you this.

Security footage from the bank when we were in the vault.

The proof you need to build your case against me.

How'd you get it?

I told the bank that I lost a necklace and needed to establish when I wore it

last for insurance reasons.

Call it collateral.

A load of gun.

which is more than what your dad will give you.

But even if you don't trust me, trust that.

No.

We don't need to rehearse the cover story. It's detective proof.

Trust me.

Trust, but verify.

We moved here from San Francisco.

I've got it, Marilyn.

Actors get stale when they've been over -rehearsed. I just keep thinking of all

the ways this could go wrong.

Well, thank you for the vote of confidence.

Oh, they're here. I gotta go.

Hello, Julian?

Olympia wants me to trust her.

Gave me collateral, but...

Here's the thing. I don't trust you.

You want collateral from me? I guess I could sign over my luxurious apartment.

I'm not in the mood for jokes.

I have questions.

Are you recording?

You don't get to ask them.

Why should I trust you?

Because I hacked into Belvin's computer and put in backdated text.

That's illegal.

So, there.

You got collateral on me. How exactly did you put in those backdated text?

I hired a hacker.

Get the hacker on the phone.

He used a burner phone.

Said the number wouldn't work after. And how did you get in contact with him in

the first place?

Through Alfie's Discord gamer network.

Call Alfie.

It's such a beautiful home. Oh, thank you.

So dinner's almost ready.

Can I get you a drink?

One second. Sorry, it's Grammy Matty. Oh, no problem.

What's up? Could you hook me up with that hacker that you found for my case?

but he's a little hard to reach. Can we talk hackers at home?

Bathroom's, uh... Sure. Gotta go.

Why are you talking about hackers?

That's the how.

Now, why did you hire the hacker?

Excuse me? You came to Jacobson Moore because you needed money to raise your

grandson, most important person in your life, yet you risked your livelihood. So

I'm asking you, why?

The why is the reason I became a lawyer in the first place.

Justice is important.

And taking that study out of discovery was wrong.

We're lawyers.

We form an oath to uphold the law, not break it.

Hey, Dad.

Julia.

You look good.

Liar.

You look better.

You know you didn't have to give me my old position back.

Never.

That's okay, Dad. Just relax.

Hey, relax.

Yeah.

Well, good, because there is something that I want to talk to you about.

Oh, Olympia.

You're always steps ahead.

Olympia is a part of it. Julian, are you ratting me out?

Because I wasn't going to tell him. Just not yet. The doctor said no stress.

Welcome back.

I missed you.

And the kids can't wait to hug you.

Tell what?

The way that this merger is unfolding is creating a culture of fear, and I have

been charged with speaking to you.

Lamar and I also need to slow down.

Build trust.

I'll email.

Thank you.

Because I'm dying to see their grandpa, if you're up for it.

Kids! Hi, Grandpa.

I missed you.

Hey.

Using kids?

I'm protecting our kids from you blowing up their lives by telling your dad

what's going on when you know that's a bad move. I only have bad moves.

Maddie is lying.

She's not.

She is.

You talked me out of trusting my gut before. I'm not doing it again. And

believe that you don't want me in jail, but you have a blind spot with Maddie.

No one risks everything for some vague sense of justice.

And the hacker isn't some kid in a basement.

This is someone who's breaking into a...

And it's also expensive. You've been to her place. Where's she getting that kind

of money?

I don't know. Exactly.

So maybe there's other stuff you don't know about. Like maybe there's someone

behind her. Someone with resources. Another law firm. Or a family from the

original lawsuit.

Or maybe she's gone to the DOJ. And she's wearing a wire.

She's not wearing... The point is, there are too many unknowns.

At least with my father, I know what I'm getting. And it's not good.

And if Maddie's going to the DOJ, you better get a jump on him.

Because if they are opening up a case, he is saving his ass.

Over yours every time.

Did I cover okay with Julian?

You were perfect.

Uncle Patrick overheard the hacker thing, but I said it was for your work

bought it.

Oh, okay, good.

How was your cousin?

Oh, it was awesome. And Aunt Laura invited me to come stay at their cabin

week in the summer.

Oh, their cabin?

Yeah, on a lake, they said. No screens.

And Julie got the job.

So can I go to the cabin?

Well, let's get more details, okay?

Okay. I'm going to send you pictures. Good night. Good night, my darling.

Hey. Brought some dinner. Oh.

And we might have another problem with senior.

Everything okay?

Oh, yeah.

Sorry, I was just... I was looking at some pictures from Joey's birthday

Right. The detective.

How did that go? Really well.

Yeah? Yeah. So, what's going on then?

I don't know.

I think I just...

I was so focused on what would happen if things went wrong that I didn't

think about what would happen if things went right.

Alfie's not just ours anymore.

It might be better for him. Oh, it'll definitely be better for him.

But for me, it'll be a loss.

I just have to give up some control, which is

not my strong suit. You don't say.

Oh, hi.

Okay, now, what are the issues with Senior?

Julian was about to tell him everything.

I interrupted, covered, not sure if he bought it.

Oh, no.

Yes, but then Julian and I talked.

Good news, the collateral worked.

He trusts me.

But he does not trust you. He's given me one day to get some real answers from

you. The truth of who is Matty Matlock, who is funding you, why you care so

much, well, we'll figure out answers. The only answer is Madeline Kingston.

No, the collateral worked for you. I just have to find a way to convince him

trust me, and we'll figure out Senior, too.

Julian gave you a day.

Give me a day.

Is that the subway?

Uh -oh. We've got a 10 -10 hanky -panky in progress.

A what?

Oh, that's right. You missed Norm.

It turns out our college security officer spent his time busting excuses

doing the hanky -panky in the Chancellor's residence.

You have the very thin walls.

Thank God you don't live here full -time.

Wait a minute.

How did the security bust students for the hanky -panky in the chancellor's

residence if the chancellor lived there? Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Well,

we might not have a way out, but Jack sure does.

Matter of Lucent, 2009.

Board of Immigration Appeals ruled that burglary is only a crime of moral

turpitude when the building being broken into is an occupied dwelling.

Your client broke into the chancellor's residence. Which is not being used as a

residence by this specific chancellor. He had a penthouse in Lenox Hill that he

lived in for all 16 years of his tenure. Here you go.

Property taxes, voter registrations, and a sworn affidavit by Chancellor Duran's

widow. They never moved into the residence.

It was too stuffy. Hence, there is no crime of moral turpitude here.

Jack is entitled to a cancellation of removal.

There is some ambiguity in New York's definition of an occupied dwelling. If

chancellor spent one night there... Interesting how the law suddenly gets a

more flexible when it suits your position.

Enough!

Compelling argument, Ms. Lawrence, but there are a lot of factors to consider.

You'll have my decision tomorrow.

Let's talk.

Stokes doesn't want to lose this. Bad precedent.

So they're offering you a deal.

You get to stay in the country.

What's the cat?

There's no path to citizenship.

And the government won't let you profit off of what they're calling your

citizenship fraud.

Meaning, you'll have to resign from Solar Canyon.

And you'll be prohibited from employment with any federal contractor.

That's every job in my industry.

I know.

And of course, the government won't fulfill your solar contract.

We'd officially lose the injunction.

And they're asking for restitution to the tune of six million.

That's more than we have.

With no future earning potential.

So, what's the alternative?

We wait for the judge's ruling.

But it is a big gamble.

If we lose, you will be deported immediately.

Possibly to a third country. We don't speak the language.

We'd have very little control.

We were so naive to think this wouldn't come out.

We had only bad options then.

We didn't know they'd get worse.

There's only one choice.

So I'll take the deal.

At least our family will stay intact.

Sarah, Maddie and I need to talk in private. Could you go back to the firm

close out Jack's file?

Sure.

There's just one thing.

This form for the Lamar and Alston redundancy analysis.

Basically, it states that I still work for you.

I know.

that you said this was temporary, but I also know that if you give me a second

chance, I will never betray your trust again.

I need to think about it.

You don't think Sarah deserves a second chance?

For the good of the team, I mean, there is no one on this planet who researches

like... What?

If it were that easy to focus on the good of the team, you'd read Julian into

everything. That is not the same thing at all. He is going to tell Senior this

afternoon. And here's how we stop him.

This is a notarized affidavit saying that I forced Alfie to hire a hacker to

breach Jacobson Moore's firewall.

Definitely a crime of moral turpitude.

And one that guarantees I will lose custody of the most important person in

life. Are you sure you want to give Julian this type of ammo? It's not real.

If Julian calls the notary, the number goes to Edwin. Betty, didn't you hear

the things we just talked about with Jack?

He's your cautionary tale.

You are asking me to risk losing everything.

Oh, hey, Olympia around?

She's still in court.

Are you okay?

Oh, yeah.

Just headed down to the floater pool, which is basically Jacobson Moore

and unfortunately I've said that to the floater pool in the past, so it's going

to be ugly down there.

Did Olympia kick you off her team?

Yes. She is out of her mind. No.

No, she's not.

And you were not allowed to cheer me up because you're the reason that I deserve

this.

A couple months ago, your father asked me to take pictures of your date book.

Which I did.

Whoa.

I know.

I'm sorry.

That's, um... Really bad. I know. I just...

I couldn't say no to him.

Would you do it again?

If he asked?

Never. Because I was just actually reinstated as a senior associate, and

looking to beef up my team, so let me see that form.

What?

I believe in second chances, so I'm giving you one.

I got your collateral on Maddie. Check your email.

I'll bring you the hard copy.

So, this is real? Call the notary. Ask.

I drove her myself last night. The place is two blocks from her apartment in

Queens.

I'll think about it.

Hey, Annie.

Court left his backpack in Olivia's car. Could I grab her keys?

Yeah, sure.

Here you go. Thank you.

Westchester, not Queens.

I knew it.

Liar.

Huh.

Looks like you got a visitor.

We've been expecting you.

Who are you?

I believe you know my wife.

Come in, Julian.

You are asking me to risk losing everything.

No, I am trying to save everything.

And even if Julian accepts this collateral, he still won't trust you.

What, are you going to live in that apartment in Queens forever?

But what if Senior already knows you were worried? I know how to handle that.

I hope it was okay that I stopped by.

Sure.

I, um... I just needed to talk to you.

I lied earlier.

Because Julian was going to tell you something that I didn't want you to

But since it's coming out, um... It should come from me.

I was the one who... Who wrangled the votes in the New York office to unseat

as managing partner.

What?

I'm sorry.

I know it's scary to tell Julian because you're letting go of some control,

which is not your strong suit. You're not supposed to use that against me.

I'm not against you. Stop focusing on what could go wrong.

Focus on what can go right.

You get to show Julian all the evidence you've collected.

You get to see the look on his face.

What the hell is going on?

And you finally get to hold him accountable.

My name isn't Maddie Matlock.

I'm Madeline Kingston.

Mrs. Belvin didn't read me into anything.

Now, Olympia didn't read me into anything.

I am the reason for everything.

Because the study you hid could have saved my daughter's life.
