1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,700 I'm Madeline Matlock. I'm a lawyer, like the old TV show. The judge ruled in our 2 00:00:04,700 --> 00:00:05,700 favor. You're incredible. 3 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,040 Most of what you know about me is based in truth, but it's also a lie. Good 4 00:00:10,040 --> 00:00:11,040 evening, Mrs. Kingston. 5 00:00:11,620 --> 00:00:13,560 Grammy! Oh, Kathy. 6 00:00:13,780 --> 00:00:17,340 Who the hell are you? I wasn't like this before your firm protected the 7 00:00:17,340 --> 00:00:20,940 pharmaceutical company that killed my daughter. Why are you hiding a missing 8 00:00:20,940 --> 00:00:24,120 while breakfast study about opioids in your safety deposit box? 9 00:00:24,350 --> 00:00:27,590 My dad told me to get rid of the study before anyone saw it. I have to build a 10 00:00:27,590 --> 00:00:30,750 solid case against your father, so you need to make things right with him. 11 00:00:30,890 --> 00:00:33,750 They're saying you want to come back to a demotion. Please. 12 00:00:34,110 --> 00:00:35,790 Edwin, she has a key to a safe. 13 00:00:36,210 --> 00:00:40,210 I can't believe Olympia hid the document. You ready to end this? Write 14 00:00:40,210 --> 00:00:41,210 New York Times. 15 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,760 Did the New York Times write back? 16 00:00:46,980 --> 00:00:50,300 Oh, yes. I can't believe I didn't tell you. I was curling my hair. 17 00:00:50,500 --> 00:00:51,500 Oh, come on. 18 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:52,559 Check again. 19 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,980 I checked four minutes ago. But... I turned on the notifications of the 20 00:00:55,980 --> 00:01:00,480 app, so if they try to get hold of us, I'll know, and then you'll know. I'm 21 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,840 sorry. I just really want to wrap this up. 22 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,940 The sooner we do, the sooner we can get away from here, and... And, Joey, I 23 00:01:06,940 --> 00:01:10,940 know. I want that, too. I thought Alfie took it well when he learned that his 24 00:01:10,940 --> 00:01:12,340 father came to meet him high. 25 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:13,820 It hasn't fully hit him yet. 26 00:01:14,540 --> 00:01:17,440 Tears are coming, and we have to be prepared for when they die. All right. 27 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:22,260 Morning, grandpeople. 28 00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:24,420 Coffee, cream, stirred. 29 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,720 Tea, steeped four minutes. 30 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,100 And scrambled eggs. 31 00:01:28,700 --> 00:01:29,700 Sit, sit. 32 00:01:29,740 --> 00:01:32,780 And while you eat, those are for two rehab centers. 33 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,740 One is closer than the other, but they both have openings. 34 00:01:36,020 --> 00:01:37,880 So all we have to do is convince Joey to go. 35 00:01:39,020 --> 00:01:40,380 Recovery doesn't work that way. 36 00:01:40,780 --> 00:01:42,320 The person has to want to get clean. 37 00:01:43,450 --> 00:01:47,390 Well, maybe he does, but he can't afford it, so we can help. 38 00:01:48,830 --> 00:01:52,190 Alfie, we have to draw boundaries here. Why? 39 00:01:52,550 --> 00:01:57,190 Because addiction is a heartbreaking cycle. I can handle it. We're happy to 40 00:01:57,190 --> 00:01:59,270 welcome Joey into the fold once he's sober. 41 00:01:59,570 --> 00:02:00,670 You won't help him get there? 42 00:02:01,270 --> 00:02:03,450 Alfie, this is our final decision. 43 00:02:04,190 --> 00:02:05,210 I hate you. 44 00:02:10,810 --> 00:02:11,910 Oh, that's a first. 45 00:02:12,460 --> 00:02:13,460 He'll calm down. 46 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:14,800 He's a teenager. 47 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,520 There'll be times they want to meet. 48 00:02:22,860 --> 00:02:25,760 Tomorrow at 10 a .m., I'm bringing them the Will Brecks study. 49 00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:27,500 We did it, Edwin. 50 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:28,880 We did it. 51 00:02:29,700 --> 00:02:31,120 You're going to have to curl that hair. 52 00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:32,500 I know. 53 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:35,480 Oh, God. 54 00:02:35,540 --> 00:02:38,820 I just have to act normal at work. Can you steer clear of Olympia? 55 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,540 Unfortunately, I have a hearing. 56 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,300 Our client, Dasha, she's been in hiding because her ex -boyfriend, Alexei, he 57 00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:48,080 was in a gang and he used her as a honeypot. 58 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,400 You know what that means? 59 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:50,339 Come on. 60 00:02:50,340 --> 00:02:51,340 I live with one. 61 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,220 Oh, Edwin. 62 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,240 Anyway, Dasha was the bait for Alexei to beat up this guy, Rocco. 63 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,220 And then Alexei went to jail. 64 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,760 And now, a year later, Rocco is doing Dasha for assault. 65 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,080 I mean, it's ridiculous. 66 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,800 So we're trying to get an estoppel. I get it. 67 00:03:09,340 --> 00:03:10,680 Please just stop the law already. 68 00:03:11,660 --> 00:03:12,660 Sorry. 69 00:03:13,660 --> 00:03:14,619 Oh, God. 70 00:03:14,620 --> 00:03:19,780 I just love the law, Edwin. I know. But just focus on getting through your last 71 00:03:19,780 --> 00:03:21,500 day at Jacobs and Moore. 72 00:03:22,980 --> 00:03:24,020 My last day. 73 00:03:27,740 --> 00:03:31,560 Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road. 74 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,560 Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go. 75 00:03:37,310 --> 00:03:38,570 It's something unpredictable, 76 00:03:39,570 --> 00:03:41,490 but in the end is right. 77 00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:45,450 I hope you had the time of your life. 78 00:03:48,530 --> 00:03:49,690 Morning, Maddie. 79 00:03:50,780 --> 00:03:53,800 Sorry for the loud music. I was testing the new speaker system. 80 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,420 I'm in charge of retirement parties around here, not to brag. 81 00:03:58,740 --> 00:04:02,940 Well, brag away, Emmeline. That's a big deal. I happen to agree. 82 00:04:03,260 --> 00:04:08,800 Think about all the time we spent at work, the memories we formed, the 83 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,900 relationships we make. It's family, really. 84 00:04:12,740 --> 00:04:14,520 Yeah. You know... 85 00:04:14,910 --> 00:04:15,910 Jerry Linton. 86 00:04:16,190 --> 00:04:17,190 Oh, yeah. 87 00:04:18,070 --> 00:04:23,470 Gray hair, surprisingly tight tush. You could bounce a dime off it. 88 00:04:27,030 --> 00:04:29,550 Someone you don't want to talk to? Not anymore. 89 00:04:31,610 --> 00:04:34,910 Morning. Somewhere you can talk? Somewhere I can listen. 90 00:04:35,530 --> 00:04:38,970 I checked, and Deborah Palmer doesn't live at the address the flower shop had 91 00:04:38,970 --> 00:04:40,110 hand from 14 years ago. 92 00:04:40,370 --> 00:04:41,990 Well, that makes sense. People move. 93 00:04:42,310 --> 00:04:46,330 Well... Assuming she's still in New York State, I narrowed the possibilities 94 00:04:46,330 --> 00:04:50,550 down to about 60 women within the potential age range. Let me guess. 95 00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:54,690 The only time Senior ever dated a woman over 50 was when he was 20. 96 00:04:58,530 --> 00:04:59,530 Olympia? 97 00:05:01,910 --> 00:05:03,790 Hang on. It's my kid's school. 98 00:05:33,610 --> 00:05:36,470 Now Court has Cat's stomach bug and no one can reach Julian. 99 00:05:36,750 --> 00:05:37,770 Can you cover the hearing? 100 00:05:38,150 --> 00:05:39,630 Of course. Talk soon. 101 00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:05,740 I always assumed you were more of a company car guy. 102 00:06:06,740 --> 00:06:08,440 Oh, right, right. 103 00:06:09,340 --> 00:06:10,820 Because of that old partner. 104 00:06:12,460 --> 00:06:15,160 Actually, do you still work at Jiggy's? I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be awkward. 105 00:06:16,380 --> 00:06:19,300 Music. You talking to me? Oh, yeah. 106 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,500 I'm just saying hi. 107 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:28,360 Yes. 108 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,540 Olympia wants me to cover today's hearing. 109 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,340 Careful, your jealousy is showing. 110 00:06:32,580 --> 00:06:34,440 Don't you worry, I'm not going to be here forever. 111 00:06:34,780 --> 00:06:36,420 I know, are you dying? Or retiring. 112 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,260 Neither. I'm just being realistic. 113 00:06:40,060 --> 00:06:44,860 Y 'all are going to outlast me here, and Olympia thinks that you're both 114 00:06:44,860 --> 00:06:46,040 wonderful lawyers. 115 00:06:46,420 --> 00:06:47,720 Thanks, Maddie. Facts on facts. 116 00:06:52,780 --> 00:06:56,440 Oh, my God, jump scare. I wanted to drop off some doc reviews for you to get 117 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,440 started on. 118 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,560 Um, did you bonk your head on the way up from hell this morning? 119 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,160 Since when do I work for you? 120 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,360 Since I found out you took a side case without getting it cleared by the 121 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,420 partners. Definitely a fireable offense if I send it to HR. 122 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,460 Though up to the discretion of my supervising attorney. 123 00:07:11,780 --> 00:07:15,200 And Olympia and I are tighter than the freaking Gilmore Girls. 124 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,840 So when that HR complaint lands on Olympia's desk, it will be thrown into 125 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:20,840 Olympia's trash. 126 00:07:21,180 --> 00:07:22,760 But it'll go on your permanent record regardless. 127 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,540 Which will look really bad down the line if you ever want to make partner. 128 00:07:26,860 --> 00:07:29,300 So, unless you want me to lodge a complaint? 129 00:07:31,660 --> 00:07:36,400 These weren't empty threats. My client witnessed and experienced so much 130 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,820 violence during her relationship with Alexei Petronov, she was scared to do 131 00:07:40,820 --> 00:07:44,900 anything without his permission, even go out for a hot dog. 132 00:07:45,180 --> 00:07:46,180 A hot dog? 133 00:07:46,580 --> 00:07:49,780 Like Ben Matlock? I see what you did there. 134 00:07:50,020 --> 00:07:51,680 I still can't get over it. 135 00:07:51,900 --> 00:07:57,140 Matlock, in my court, I've probably seen every episode three times. 136 00:07:57,500 --> 00:08:01,680 Same. And fun fact, I was already a lawyer when the show started airing, 137 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,200 seemed to tickle some people, so I started adopting his techniques. 138 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:14,040 Mr. Taranov, I demand to know why you waited until the last minute to subpoena 139 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,040 my client. 140 00:08:15,100 --> 00:08:20,300 Were you or were you not trying to lure Dasha out of hiding? 141 00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:22,400 Bravo. Mr. 142 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,860 Taranov, it's also a good question. 143 00:08:25,340 --> 00:08:26,340 Your Honor. 144 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,520 Rocco is not the one with a history of luring people into harm's way. 145 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,299 My client has left gang life, and he's doing exactly what he should be doing. 146 00:08:34,299 --> 00:08:37,900 is using the courts, not the streets, to get justice for the pain and suffering 147 00:08:37,900 --> 00:08:41,799 Dasha caused when she lured him into a brutal attack. Because Dasha was under 148 00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:45,720 duress, Your Honor, and there isn't a single issue in the plaintiff's case 149 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,620 requires her testimony. If there were, Mr. 150 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,720 Taranov woulda, coulda, shoulda brought it up in the seven... 151 00:08:52,970 --> 00:08:57,230 Our deposition he used to scare the bejesus out of Dasha months ago. 152 00:08:57,650 --> 00:09:02,470 Instead of rejecting our attempts at a settlement. My client wants his day in 153 00:09:02,470 --> 00:09:07,270 court. No, what he wants is a judgment that garnishes Dasha's wages. 154 00:09:07,570 --> 00:09:11,850 So then he knows where she lives. So he can track her and terrorize her. 155 00:09:12,050 --> 00:09:14,710 Objection! To what? This is a motion. 156 00:09:15,030 --> 00:09:16,170 Who is that talk with you for? 157 00:09:17,110 --> 00:09:19,990 I'll tell you about it later. One of us has to pay attention. Dasha. Your Honor. 158 00:09:20,150 --> 00:09:21,150 Mr. Taranov. 159 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,080 I agree with Ms. Matlock. Your subpoena does smack of harassment. 160 00:09:25,460 --> 00:09:27,860 I'm quashing it. Dasha doesn't have to appear. 161 00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:34,020 Although, I don't know how you plan to use duress as a defense if your client 162 00:09:34,020 --> 00:09:36,240 doesn't testify to her own state of mind. 163 00:09:36,580 --> 00:09:41,040 Collateral estoppel, Judge. During Alexei's trial, the court already 164 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:46,460 Dasha was under duress. You can use the same prior ruling to establish it here. 165 00:09:46,780 --> 00:09:48,240 Court martial, part one and two. 166 00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:50,500 Season one. 167 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,720 Then Matlock overstepped and got over his skis. 168 00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:59,300 Estoppel goes too far. And if you choose to use duress as a defense, your client 169 00:09:59,300 --> 00:10:01,400 has to testify live and in person. 170 00:10:03,660 --> 00:10:07,940 Well, the judge didn't go for it, but turns out he's a huge Matlock fan, so 171 00:10:07,940 --> 00:10:09,300 maybe... I know you stole the document. 172 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,440 No. 173 00:10:12,780 --> 00:10:16,380 I found the document in a safe in your house. 174 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:17,920 Was it there the whole time? 175 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,120 Of course not. 176 00:10:20,650 --> 00:10:23,570 It was in Julian's safety deposit box at the bank. Oh, I knew it. And then he 177 00:10:23,570 --> 00:10:27,370 showed up because a banker called him, and he told me that his father gave the 178 00:10:27,370 --> 00:10:31,110 order, Maddie. Does Julian know about me?
