Previously on Matlock. The law firm
Jacobson Moore hid documents that could

taken opioids off the market ten years
earlier.

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

Galalia shattered my heart. She is not
shattering my career, which means we

grind. You used to think your life was
meaningful by being in a family with me.

I want a divorce.

He cheated years ago, but I just found
out. Breathe in November.

Exhale the cabin.

Whatever you're doing with Elijah, be
careful.

Who is that?

Shea Banfield, the firm's jury
consultant.

A legit human lie detector.

The email attachment is a photograph of
Senior in Sydney.

So he couldn't have signed for the
documents.

Signature was forged by Julian for
Olympia. Now we just have to find

in.

See if this pen was worth it. I need to
know who you slept with.

And that's enough.

Doubt. Pills in her hip are wiping. Good
gracious, all I want is cold.

Try a blonde.

I used to be a blonde.

Still am in some places.

You come here often?

Yeah, once in a while.

It's my first time, obviously.

I had a long day. I'm walking past.

I thought, this looks like a hopping
joint, as the kids say.

I think she's trying to flirt with you.

Ooh -wee, your calamari looks finger
-lickin' good.

Mind if I have a taste?

That's not a pickup line.

Excuse me, unless you want it to be.

Look, my friend just got here, and we
haven't seen each other in a while. I

take you, Hemp.

I owe you one.

I know how you can repay me, Earth.

I actually came here to talk to you.

I'm a lawyer. I represent Sam Prince,
and we're trying to prove wrongful

termination.

Did you know Sam was pregnant when they
fired her?

Yeah, I saw the ultrasound photo.

It's a cute blob.

I know you no longer work at Set Track,
and Sam said you were a manager, so you

might have insight?

Into why she was fired? Oh, I got no
idea.

Different division.

And I was laid off.

I'm on unemployment, and I don't want to
jeopardize that.

So how much is Sam suing for?

It's not about the money.

Sam wants her job back.

What? Why would she want that?

Well, that blob is due in six weeks,
Irv.

It's a tough job market. She needs the
benefits, the stability.

I know, it's a big ask.

But they can't go after your
unemployment.

And our plan worked.

We finally had a manager willing to
corroborate the conditions.

Sounds like you had a fun night.

It wasn't about fun.

You and Olympia didn't have to pretend
you don't know each other.

We've been striking out all week. People
are scared to testify.

So we just thought, if I tenderized the
meat a little... Mm -hmm.

What's wrong?

Well, you didn't ask if there was
anything on the pen about, well, Bruxa.

checked the transcript.

Was there a mention?

No. Then why are you so upset?

Because Olivia is a suspect.

You think I don't know that?

But we also have real cases representing
real people.

I just don't want you to lose sight.

Of course I'm not.

The longer you stay at Jake's and more,
the more dangerous it's going to be for

you. You could be arrested.

They're not going to press charges.

They look like fools.

What, a 75 -year -old woman infiltrates
their law firm and calls herself

Matlock?

Plus, they wouldn't want me to go public
with my allegations.

Trust that.

Thank you.

Just be careful.

I'm always careful.

I put a lot of love in those eggs.

I just feel like maybe if I stay at
home... Nope. And if those kids are

then you just tell them in ten years
you're going to be at the top and

not even going to be footnotes.

Do you want me to get beat up?

Go upstairs and get dressed, darling.

Can I at least check the pen transcript?

Maybe Julian mentioned we'll break up.
I'm on it. So go get ready for school.

You have to call the principal and tell
him what's going on. No, that will

signal to Alfie that he can't handle
things by himself.

This is a brilliant kid who loves to
learn, and now he doesn't want to go to

school. He will get through it.

Fine.

But if it gets any worse, you'll call
them, okay? Fine, okay.

Edwin? I said fine.

No, a mention.

Keyword found.

Robrexa.

Well, now I keep replaying everything.

All those late nights. What, Brexit?

Exxon? What, Boeing?

Were you sleeping with Shay then, too?
Of course not. Shay?

Can you use it?

How? Get more information.

Manipulate it.

That's what you do, right?

Right.

Right. I'm to blame.

No, Olympia. I shouldn't have brought up
Shay again. It's been a week.

Old news. What was I thinking? I just
don't want every conversation to be a

fight. Tell me what to do. I'll do
anything. Nothing to do. You already

We have an interview with Gramercy Park
Academy tomorrow. I think it'll be a

great option for the twins.

I think so, too.

But can I just say one more thing
about... You cannot.

Hi, Eliza. How's Philly?

It's Philly.

Great job at getting a corroborating
witness.

Let's hope it's enough to keep us from
going to trial.

Well, I've updated five aunties on a
text chain, and there's a lot of fire

emojis being sent. Followed by prayer
hands, followed by a favorite Bible

All right.

Look, I really appreciate you helping
Sam.

Obviously, when I asked you, things were
different.

I like Sam, and she shouldn't have been
fired.

Would have helped her even if she
weren't your cousin.

This isn't what I do.

Yeah, and you do a lot.

So? I got you an extra set of hands.
Just help with trial prep.

Just in case.

What's going on?

Are you okay?

Oh, yeah.

I'm a crocodile, baby.

Nice.

When I was little and I didn't want to
cry, my dad told me to imagine that I

a crocodile.

Soft on the inside, but hard as a damn
rock on the outside.

How can it help?

Who can hurt?

We'll oversee Sam's witness prep.

Shay's going to assist.

Shay? Huh.

Do we need her? I mean, everybody knows
she's the human lie detector, but Sam's

not hiding anything.

And the case probably won't go to trial
now. Just in case.

I need to do what's best for my client.

But I can't be around Shay right now.

How come?

I just need you to interface, please.

As a friend?

Of course.

What do you think they're talking about?

Did your mom pack your lunch again?

It seems way more serious.

And she did, yes.

Sport.

Here, share these.

You know, I'm going to miss these when
Billy finally kicks Claudia out and

back into his own apartment.

Oh, wait.

Remember what we talked about.

Take advantage of the good food and let
Billy live his life.

Finish that sentence without judgment.

Thank you, Kira. My pleasure, Billy.

All right, I gotta go fix other people's
mistakes without making them feel dumb.

Well, that's the fun part.

What time do you get off tonight?

Six. But, um, I, um, actually have
another hang.

Oh. Okay, cool.

I'll reach out elsewhere to hang, too.

You know I think my mom is free if you
want to hang with her.

Shut up.

You okay?

Of course I'm okay.

It's only been 47 days. I did not think
that we were exclusive.

Good. Don't spiral. I need you.

Olympia's relying on us less and less.
We need to turn it around. I am prepped.

I am ready. I am alone. Okay.

My friend Khadija and I applied about
four years ago together.

I mean, the work was hard.

All the big delivery companies have
these insane quotas, but they're tracked

get to the next level. Does Sam get into
specifics?

Sam should not be interrupted.

Why not leave?

I mean, the benefits are really good.

And when COVID hit, my husband got laid
off from his oil rig. I mean, he's out

there now, rehired. But back then, there
were no jobs. So I just felt lucky to

be working.

And then I got pregnant.

Is that when the trouble started?

Missing work, showing up late, missing
quotas, sleeping in your truck. First

trimester was hard.

Second was even worse.

I mean, it asked for missing work. Well,
the company didn't give me much

allowance for my prenatal appointment.

I mean, that wasn't right. So I talked
to some co -workers about unionizing,

I would have done it, too, but I got
fired.

Because your delivery truck was stolen,
along with the packages.

Well, yes, but they've had a truck
stolen before, and that driver didn't

fired. Well, you told the company that
you left the engine running and the keys

inside. Can't imagine that was protocol.

It was this... unspoken rule to keep the
engines running to meet the crazy

quotas. They knew. They put the cameras
in the trucks to keep track of us. I

mean, towards the end, I was even...
What?

Um... Have any of you been pregnant?

You're bladdered.

Oh, yeah. Girl, I popped a squat
multiple times an hour. And postpartum,

to wear a pee pad for a year in case I
sneezed.

I was, um...

Peeing in bottles in the back of a
truck.

That's awful.

Is there anything else you think we
should know?

Because now is the time to say it. You
do not want to be up there and have...

Can I get the bathroom? Of course.

It's down that hall to your left. Okay.

Thank you.

Be gentle.

She's pregnant.

I was being gentle.

Trust me, I do not want to put another
woman in labor.

She's holding something back.

Lying? About what?

I'm not sure. Shea wants to talk to you.
I can only hold her off for so long.

Might help if I knew what was going on.

It was her.

Who Julian had the affair with, or on
nightstand, I guess.

What?

You're a crocodile, baby.

You know it.

The point is, you see my dilemma with
Shay.

No dilemma. You just kick her to the
curb.

Why are the cops here?

The longer you are at Jacobson, the more
danger you put yourself in.

You could be arrested.

What's going on?

Smet the print?

Put your hands behind your back. What's
going on? What are you doing? Get your

hands off me. Back away, ma 'am. We have
to go. Do not cover her like that. She

is pregnant.

Olympia. I promise I will take care of
this. You're going to be okay. Let's go.

In addition to the theft of the delivery
truck, Mrs. Prince is also charged with

stealing the property inside, which we
determined to have a market value of

$50 ,000.

Your Honor, my client is currently suing
Steadtrak for pregnancy discrimination.

And it's no coincidence that on the eve
of the trial, they've decided to press

charges against her. So what do you
think, Counselor? That it smacks of

retaliation. Gasping.

Your Honor, the people both resent and
challenge the accusation that we would

coerced by a corporate third party.
There is no actual evidence. This is the

piece of a packing slip that was found
stuck in the corner of the defendant's

work locker. The tracking number matches
one of the stolen packages. That is

impossible! I got this.

We also have footage from the camera
inside the defendant's truck showing her

turning off the camera an hour before
the theft. Want me to play it? Your

that footage is either taken out of
context or outright manufactured, and I

prove it. I wish you luck in doing so at
trial.

Until then, bail is set at $20 ,000.

Your Honor, this is her first offense.

She's not a flight risk. She's eight
months pregnant. Sam, I'm going to bail

out. I got cash.

Oh, my God, Khadijah, thank you. Thank
you so much.

Of course I want the trial expedited.
I'm not having a baby with this hanging

over my head.

Is your husband coming back? No way.

I'm not letting him use those vacation
days. I need him to come back when the

baby comes.

I got her. Don't worry. It's just the
DA's office has real evidence that you

were in on the theft.

Real manufactured evidence.

Yeah, her property was stolen, too.

If she were in on it, she'd still have
her earbuds.

Exactly. Except you did turn off the
camera.

So I could pee.

Sorry, hon, but I have to ask. I thought
you said that you'd do that in the

back.

Well, usually, but the truck was
completely full that day.

And the packing slip in your locker?

They didn't even let me clean out my
locker. Khadijah did it for me. Yeah,

three months ago.

And there was absolutely nothing left in
there when I was done.

Someone at Steadtrack landed that slip.

According to the chain of custody and
the police report, the janitor who found

the slip handed it to a manager named
Ahmad Hassan.

Prosecution's calling the manager.

Huh.

What are you thinking?

Well, my friend, Cindy Shapiro, uh...

had a rival named carol burnett no
relation and cindy hated carol for

won't get into but cindy wanted carol
out of our canasta gang so cindy set it

to look like carol was cheating only no
one noticed but cindy couldn't very well

point that out could she so cindy
positioned gail lerman subjectively nice

where she could see it now there's my
point

Why would a janitor hand over a random
piece of paper that looks like trash to

the manager?

Prosecution's not calling the janitor.

Sarah and I will interview her.

With Maddie.

Oh, I'm sorry. It's my grandson.

He's having a hard time at school. I
need to call him. Of course, absolutely.

I'll interview the janitor with him.

Sweetheart, what's going on? You okay?

Sure.

Well, he's a jerk face.

I'm having Grandpa call the school.

I love you, too.

I thought you said your husband was
dead.

Deader than a duck in a gator pond.

I was referring to Alfie's grandfather
from the other side of the family. What

can I do you for, Shay?

I just wanted to get caught up on the
witness list.

I knew Sam was hiding something.

Alfie's other grandfather, does he live
nearby?

Maine. How is that relevant to Sam?

It's not.

It's relevant to you.

And what is your interest in me, Shay?

Frankly, it's becoming exhausting.

The fact that you keep changing the
topic is exhausting.

Why are you?

Because I don't want the whole office
talking about my personal life, and I'm

sure you don't want me talking about
yours right now either.

I'll keep you updated on that witness
list.

We need to talk.

Olympia's been avoiding me, and Maddie
just said something odd.

Did you tell anyone what happened with
us?

I heard how you and Maddie reeled in
Irv. Good stuff.

So I just want to say, anything you need
in that area, we're here for you. Yep.

I actually took an improv class in high
school to prepare for college

interviews, so throw anything at us and
we will say yes and.

Portia. Hi.

Hi. I'm Olympia Lawrence. These two are
my associates who are here to silently

observe.

Thank you for coming to talk to us. Walk
us through the day you found the

packing slip.

My supervisor, Ahmad, said he needed a
locker clean for a new employee.

And he stood over me.

Like, watched.

The normal procedure for cleaning a
locker? Him watching? Nope.

It felt weird.

And then when I found the slip, he took
it right away and left.

Adding her to the witness list. Wait.

First, let's lock the manager into
whatever lie he's going to give on the

Then, we'll spring Portia on them.

Can we do that?

Expedite trial.

Expedite notice requirement.

Mr. Hassan, when the janitor found the
packing slip in Mrs. Prince's locker,

what made you stop and take a closer
look at it?

It was the kind of slip that's included
inside a package.

So the only way Sam would have had that
was if she'd opened up a box and taken

it out.

And that would be unusual for an
employee to do? Unheard of. Plus, I knew

had a truck and merchandise stolen on
her watch before she was fired.

So, I thought I'd check, just in case.

And what was the packing flipped for?

A Gucci bag.

No further questions.

Mr. Hassan, on average, how many lockers
a month do you supervise getting

cleaned? Well, none, but in the... Just
answer the question, please.

How many times a year?

Besides... Sam Prince's.

Zero. Did you supervise the cleaning of
Sam Prince's locker when she was fired

three months ago?

No, I did not.

Okay. But three months later, after she
was fired, you decided to supervise a

second cleaning.

Why? I had an employee starting the next
day with a severe peanut allergy who'd

be using that locker.

You were worried about a peanut allergy?

Over three months later, the allergen
can live on surfaces up to 110 days.

I was cautious. Do you have any proof to
back up your claim about this mystery

employee? Your Honor, we'd like to
submit the employee's health file

protect his identity. It confirms his
allergy.

Indeed it does.

Seems convenient.

Objection. No further questions.

Prosecution would like to call Ms. Margo
Cruz.

Your Honor, there is no Margo Cruz on
their witness list.

Expedited trial, expedited witness list.

Ms. Cruz, you were waiting for your bus
across the street from Mrs. Prince's

truck the day it was stolen?

Yes. What made you notice the plaintiff
out of all the other people and cars

around? She was pregnant.

When I had my son, I could barely move.

But she was unloading packages.

I guess I just admired it.

What did you see as you were admiring
Mrs. Prince doing her work?

A car pulled up behind her truck, and a
woman got out. She and Mrs. Prince were

talking. They seemed to know each other,
but they were also acting strange.

Strange how?

They kept looking around like they were
worried someone was watching.

Then they exchanged keys.

Mrs. Prince got in the woman's car and
drove away.

Drove away?

Then what happened?

I don't know. I had to get on my bus.

But what I can tell you is...

It looked like Mrs. Prince was in a real
hurry to get out of there.

You didn't have to come back from
Philly.

Of course I'm back.

What's going on, Sam? Why'd you lie?

I had my first ultrasound that week, and
I couldn't get the time off.

Khadijah volunteered to help.

She was driving the truck when it was
stolen, and she called me sobbing. You

weren't even driving?

Why don't you tell us any of this?
Because I didn't want Khadija getting in

trouble. She didn't do anything wrong.
Are you sure?

Excuse me? The truck was stolen under
her watch.

She volunteered to clean that shell
locker. She could have planted the

Oh, stop.

Khadija would never. You weren't even
there.

Look, I don't care about Khadija because
I am your lawyer, Sam.

And today did a lot of damage to your
credibility.

Great news is we can use this to create
reasonable doubt.

But we have to point to her.

You're going to have to find another way
to defend me.

What if we can't?

What if you end up in prison?

I'm not going to.

Because you're the big fancy lawyer in
the family.

You know all that time you give
everybody else?

Go ahead and give it to me.

What do you mean Sam doesn't want to
point to Khadijah? That makes no sense.

If I was arrested and I could point to
Billy, I wouldn't even hesitate.

Noted.

It's just such a clear story for the
jury.

Plus, I mean, Khadijah probably did it.

That's what we're all thinking, right?

But not Samantha.

And before we convince the jury, we have
to convince her, or at least get her to

reasonable doubt.

Start looking into Khadijah.

Oh, shoot.

I have to go charm a school admissions
counselor.

Maddie's a terrible liar.

Good. Lying isn't something I'm looking
for in an employee.

Well, unfortunately, you told her about
Shay for whatever reason, so now Shay

knows that you know.

Okay. Okay.

You brought the mess to the office. I'm
not in charge of the cleanup.

You are such a hypocrite.

Excuse me?

You and Elijah?

Hi there.

Hi. We're so excited to talk about
Grimacy Park Academy.

I especially love what you said about
the school's focus on kids' socio

-emotional development.

Me too. Positive communication habits.

conflict resolution.

We're just trying to raise nice, kind
kids.

Well, that's what I wanted to hear.

And like I said, you called at the right
time.

We have a family transferring overseas
mid -year. We'll get back to you soon.

Thank you so much. We couldn't
appreciate it more.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

You're accusing me of what now with
Elijah?

Oh, come on.

Why don't you model some of those
positive communication skills and

I told Shay that I felt guilty, and she
said you had a thing with Elijah.

Is that clear enough?

Okay.

Oh, good. Perfect timing.

I'm representing his cousin.

Of course you are.

Bad time? Great time.

Leave it to Julia. We were talking about
you and your affair.

There was no affair.

Trist. Dalliance, what should I call it?
Nothing. You should call it nothing,

which is why this is ridiculous.

You're comparing an actual something to
a theoretical nothing.

Well, you know how she feels, at least.

Elijah, that's not... A buck.

You just got no priors. Clean record.

Alfie's grandpa from the other side of
the family just got to town.

Hi there. Thanks for calling me back,
finally.

Are there people around?

You know it.

Did you get a chance to call the
principal?

No. I thought about it, and I thought
I'd let it breed a little more.

Not the plan.

Madeline, if I'm going to be in charge
of taking care of Alfie, then let me

charge of it. And stop micromanaging
from afar.

Okay.

Talk to you later. Thanks for catching
me up.

Not a fan of the other grandpa?

Sometimes he's dimmer than a light bulb
in a chicken coop.

So, socials turn up anything on Khadija?
Even better.

We use this new program. It's kind of
like the Wayback Machine, but for social

media. It's a digital archive that
captures the image of a page when it was

created, which means we found who
Khadija scrubbed from her socials. Oh,

Someone she was beefing with? Sort of.

Email you the info now.

Next boyfriend named Dimitri Moser. He's
got a record, and they broke up right

after the theft.

Maybe she still lives in his apartment,
and he's staying with his mom.

Sounds like we should drop some
questions for old Dimitri.

Stay out of it. Said with respect, of
course.

Which part of that is respectful now?
She's in a bad mood because Kara's

other people. No, I'm upset because
you're taking up all the air, Nana, and

need a win. Sounds good, because I'm
looking at this place of business, and

stick out like the sore thumb.

Give me an hour to change.

We're coming. Okay.

Hey.

Sorry.

Sorry. Sorry.

Oh, sorry.

Yeah, we know the bouncer.

Dimitri. Yeah, that or the rest of us.

Keep to the back of the line.

Okay, this is fine. We just have more
time to go through the plan. Remember,

improv, yes, and we don't want to seem
too rehearsed. Yes.

And we want to be so rehearsed that we
don't seem rehearsed. Okay, Sarah,

a question. How can you be blunt and
honest about everything except your

feelings for Kara?

Wow, left field. Okay. So it's been over
a month. You want to lock it down?

Are you and Molly? Is this what happens?

Are you scared?

Dude, you're the one talking. I'll do
this. You live with your mother. No.

Stop it. No, I'm going to.

I will kill you.

Get off of me. It's a free world. I will
kill you if you do. Kara, I wanted to

tell you. I will retaliate. No. I am not
afraid of you, ma 'am. You should be.

You've activated the wrong bitch, Billy.

Dimitri.

What's going on here?

Sorry. Sorry. We're cool.

Aren't we cool?

We are so cool.

Wait, you know, you actually look
familiar.

Were you at Tadisha's barbecue in
September?

Wait, is this about... Yes.

And... And I got nothing to do with it.
And... She said you did.

What? Yeah, look, we're private
investigators.

And I got nothing to do with her debt.

Get out of here.

Now.

Yeah.

Sure.

So,

selfie asleep?

Yes.

And?

I was right. His day got better. That's
why I didn't want to call the school.

The two aren't mutually exclusive.

He called me at work.

Well, that's because you coddle him,
Madeline. I don't. You do. You're so

of him feeling any pain.

Alfie's had plenty of pain in his life,
don't you think?

Well, yeah, but it doesn't mean we need
to overreact about every little thing.

I'm not overreacting. You are.

Edwin, parenting is different now.

Olympia just moved her kids to another
school because of the social dynamics. I

don't care about Olympia.

She's not my wife. She is a suspect.

One of three people we think hid
documents about opioids, which means she

be trusted. Not about parenting, not
about anything.

I know that, Edwin.

I don't believe you.

What's going on? Sorry, I know it's a
Saturday, but working all night, have

Not making sense, Master Yoda. It's been
a long night. We talked to the

boyfriend. Khadija was in debt, online
gambling.

I'm sorry, Sam, but look at the fact
pattern.

Dimitri has a record of theft.

Khadija volunteers to drive your truck,
thinks the company won't retaliate. But

why would she?

She was $50 ,000 in debt.

Okay, see?

You didn't know that.

I'm sure she was just embarrassed.

Sam. But Khadija didn't do it. End of
story.

End of story?

Mm -hmm.

You sure you don't want a drink?

My age, cocktail in the middle of the
afternoon better come with a blanket and

pillow.

So what happens when you're in court?

I try to poke holes in the chain of
custody while we keep trying to get Sam

see the light.

Sometimes we only see what we want to
see.

Hard not to when feelings get involved.

Guess that's what happened with me and
Julian.

I don't know what I was thinking,
considering getting back with him.

So you guys met at Jacobson Moore,
right? Uh -huh. You working on a case?

Or catch googly eyes at the law library?

A case.

Late nights, all that, you know.

Working on a senior, actually.

No kidding?

Mm -hmm. He was running point on, well,
Brexit, when all these lawsuits were

coming to a head about opioids, how
addictive they were, who knew what,

Serious stuff?

You worked on all that?

Yep, right out of law school.

Hated every minute.

But I thought that's what you had to do
with a degree from a fancy law school

like mine.

Nearly killed my soul.

I think Big Pharma would kill yours,
too, by the way.

Not the money.

Especially the money. Trust me.

I've seen how a senior holds it over
Julian's head.

Okay, it's time to spill the beans.

What the heck of duty is up between the
two of them?

How much time do you have?

Screw it. I'm drinking.

Carry me home, will you?

I mean, have you seen my brownstone?

Julian says he gets nothing from his
dad.

But all of a sudden, you got money for
this big down payment.

Anyway. That's what the heck a noodle
is.

My bad.

Well, Brexit is how we met.

And also how I met Shay, unfortunately.

Shay what?

She was the analyst for McKenzie,
assigned to Wilbrexa to liaise with us.

Here's the stupid thing.

I asked Julian once about Shay.

And he acted outraged.

turned on his location sharing, asked me
to track him, to look through his

phone.

Oh, my God.

What? Tracking devices.

Khadija said that Sam's earbuds were
stolen and they were Bluetooth, so maybe

can track where they died. Can you call
her?

Yeah. Okay.

Sorry.

Who? What? I'm just a little drunk.
Ashley, can you save that whole thing

just way slower?

Okay. Okay, Sam said her earbuds died
here, so look for familiar names.

Maybe, uh, Khadija lived in the
building, or, um, or the bistro, or, or,

know, um, the stand track manager.

Dadgummit. Who's that?

What? What? I don't know what that
means.

It means get over here, sister, have a
look -see.

No way.

Way.

Delivery. Last call or I'm out of here.

Don't fight.

Yep, I rent room in the bar.

Let's get front.

No noise.

I think first we need a plan.

And maybe some more sweet potato fries.

You lurk into Murph with a brain emoji
and a superhero emoji. Who the hell's

Murph? I don't know a Murph.

Wait, I...

Look into ice?

Ice and Merv.

Ice and Merv.

Irv. Irv. The witness they got the other
night when they went to the bar. Yes,

that's it. Let's go.

Shut up.

Look at it here, what they've found.

Look at here.

It's the answer to Merv Irv.

Oh, my God.

We got a skedaddle. Because Monday, you
got to nail him on the stand, Monday.

Oh. Oh.

How dumb.

Let's drink some more water first.

Then we can skedaddle. Then we can
skedaddle.

Yeah, girl.

Mr. Lambert.

Irv. Thank you for responding to the
subpoena. Are you familiar with the term

union busting?

Objection. Relevant?

Can't be relevant until he answers.

Overruled. But get there quick.

Mr. Lambert, are you familiar with what
a union buster is?

I mean, vaguely.

It's a person hired by companies to
identify employees engaged in unionizing

efforts and derail them. Where's the
question?

No question. I'd like to submit Mr.
Lambert's employment history, detailing

companies he's worked at in the last
five years. All of them had employees

trying to unionize, and they all had a
failed union vote before he left.

Objection. To facts?

Also submitting proof that each company
paid large sums of money to the same

consulting firm.

An LLC registered to Irv Lambert.

Now here's the question.

Mr. Lambert, are you a union -busting
consultant?

I guess you can call it that.

I will. And in that capacity, were you
pretending to be a dispatch manager at

Stedtrak when you were really a mole
-gathering intel for the company on

efforts?

More or less.

Then, when you realized my client, Sam,
was the leader of the union movement and

the vote was likely to pass, you
targeted her by stealing her truck and

her? Absolutely not.

I mean, that's extreme.

Then how come the last known location of
Sam's earbuds, which were in the truck

when they were stolen, matched your home
address?

Maybe the thief drove past my house or
threw them in the trash nearby.

Maybe. Problem is...

There's one other thing that points to
you.

Sam had her first prenatal ultrasound
appointment the day before the truck was

stolen. Didn't tell anyone at work.

But those ultrasound photos were in the
truck when it was taken.

You and I spoke at a bar when you were
still pretending to be Irv, the dispatch

lead, and I was trying to get you to be
a witness, remember?

Sure. Did you mention seeing her
ultrasound photos with me?

Objection. Opposing counsel can't be an
impeachment witness.

Obviously, but I can call an impeachment
witness. If only there was someone else

who could corroborate what you said to
me.

Care to revise that statement? Or do you
want to add perjury to the list of

charges you're racking up?

Fine. I took the truck.

Why? Sam was organizing a union. I
needed to give the company a reason to

her. That was supposed to be the end.

Although she hired you and wanted her
job back. And you knew she'd get right

back to her union organizing activities.

So you planted evidence in her locker to
frame her for the theft.

I did.

Yeah.

I can't thank you enough.

If you really want to thank me, you can
give me your go -ahead to continue the

civil suit, because we are going to hang
that track out to dry. Oh, you got my,

you better go ahead.

But I'm pissed.

Heard you were trying to pin it on me.

I, um, I'm just messing with you.

See, I told you my girl would never.

But thank you again.

He might be a big, fancy lawyer, but he
shows up.

Not everyone does that.

Thanks, Lyle.

Look, and about what I said. You're
right.

We're the only two family in New York.
I've got to make more time.

Look, it's just that busy.

I know.

Look, I'm proud of you, okay?

Now, also, the aunties want to know when
you're getting married. I mean, what

should I text them?

How about Olympia?

No.

Nothing there.

Okay, so even though our sojourns are
near, tonight life didn't pan out.

Olympia told me she was impressed by our
murmur of research.

Good work.

We did good.

Here, have a pastelito.

Last one in a while.

Because even though you said it in the
meanest way possible, you're right.

I'm telling Claudia to move out.

I am so glad.

And that wasn't the meanest way I could
say that, trust me.

Also, I'm going to take two. Just say
yes.

Yes. And tell Kira how you feel.

Just say yes.

Mm -hmm.

Hmm? I heard yes, definitely yes. Mm
-hmm.

I don't have other hangs.

Just so you know.

Because I really like you.

But you can keep hanging.

But I will just be hanging here.

Thank you for telling me that.

The fact that you're so direct is one of
the many, many things that I really

like about you.

Many?

Would it be okay if we checked in a
month?

Great. I'll send you a calendar invite.

Hot. Mm -hmm.

See the email?

The twins got into Gramercy Park.

Yep. So they're all set.

Yeah. Me.

Not as much.

I'm sorry. I was out of line.

Look, if you say nothing happened with
you and Elijah... I'm saying...

That it's way too messy here now.

That fight, it was public, and I can't
have that.

So, for the good of our family, I don't
think we should work together anymore.

Uh, okay.

Uh, yeah, that's probably a good idea.

Yeah.

Where will you go?

Oh, I'm not going anywhere.

I'd like you to leave.

What? We did ask what you can do.

Do this.

Um, we're up for partner at the end of
the year.

Sacrifice is hard.

Olympia, my father runs the firm.
Exactly.

Nepotism wasn't a factor in my hiring.

Why don't we ask the managing board to
pick only one of us for partner and the

other leaves?

Hmm?

And I said yes.

Don't worry. I know you want in on Big
Pharma, and I get it. The money's

So, Julian and I are going to share you
for now.

Then, whoever wins, you stay with them.

Well, first of all, I can't believe you
didn't even think of me with everything

you have going on.

But I don't think you can dictate to
Julian who you can work with.

Oh, I'll write it into the divorce.

Blow up the whole thing if he doesn't
agree. Just watch me.

Thank you, Olympia.

I take care of my friends, too.

The people I trust.

And like I said, I trust you.

I hope you trust me, too.

So Shea worked for Wilbrexa.

She did.

Good work.

But you were right, Edwin.

I did stop viewing Olympia as a suspect.

Well, thank you for acknowledging that.

Wait.

I stopped viewing her as a suspect
because she didn't do it.

Julian did.

Not Olympia. Maybe under the direction
of Senior, maybe not. But Olympia was

involved.

Okay, I'm waiting for you to surprise me
with the proof.

Something you did, something I didn't
see.

Surprise?

I don't have proof.

Just my gut.

And I trust it.

Let us, my friend.
