Previously on Almost Family...

Dr. Bechley, my source
says that you used

your own sperm to impregnate
a patient at your practice.

- I stacked the deck.
- How many, Dad?

I never kept a formal record.

Do you wanna get a sister selfie?

- Nope.
- No way.

- We're genetically connected.
- Family.

Finding a new family is kinda
the best thing that's happened

to me in years.

I'm kind of in a fight
with my roommates...

who are also my parents.

My whole life,
it's all coming apart.

I'm sorry you picked
such a broken person

to be married to.

Here's our warrant to confiscate items

related to the investigation.

You need a defense attorney.

I was hoping that you
could represent the clinic.

Maybe you need to ask yourself

why you're still protecting him.

In the house there's a laptop computer.

I need you to destroy it.

Bechley's misuse of his genetic material

rises to the level of sexual assault,

and we intend to prosecute it as such.

Julia!

Julia?

- Come back here.
Julia, I'm your sister.

- Um...
- Where are you going?

Julia, wait.
- Julia?

Wait. Julia, come back.

Julia.
Where are you going?

Wait!
- We need to talk to you.

- Stop.
Julia, I'm your sister.

Julia.
Julia.

Julia, wait!
Julia!

- What are you doing?
Mountain climbers.

They really burn out the core.

Hey, do you wanna get in on this?

We can alternate sets.

Uh, no.

I don't exercise my body that way.

Maybe we should discuss how
long you're planning to stay?

Have you talked to your parents at all?

Oh, you mean those losers who raised me?

No, I'm not taking their calls.

Focusing on my new family.

Dad's getting out of the pokey today.

What do you think? Flowers or balloons?

It's an arraignment, not a baby shower.

Hey. Whoa, I come in peace!

Bearing gifts.

Sorry, babe. I couldn't hear you.

- You almost took my head off.

To what do I owe this
smoothie-liciousness?

Just the amazing selfless
husband that I am,

and also I feel bad for
putting so much pressure

on you bedroom-wise.

Couples go through
things... dry spells...

and I know you have enough
on your mind right now.

Yeah, yeah.

There's a lot... a lot going on.

Thanks, babe.

I'm gonna get ready for work.

Leon Bechley,
you have been arrested

on the charge of aggravated sexual abuse

under New York penal law section 130.70,

a class A felony,

and schemed to defraud
in the first degree

under New York penal law section 190.65,

a class E felony.

Do you understand the
charges against you?

- Yes.
- Yes.

Well, thank you for getting
me out of that hell hole.

And, Tim, I forgive
you for leaving Julia.

That's not exactly the way that went.

And, Edie, I know this revelation

is a shock, but it is my hope

that once the dust settles
that you and I can actually...

Leon, you're my client. I'm your lawyer.

That's all.

Step one was getting you out of jail.

We have a meeting this
afternoon with the judge

to request your release
from house arrest,

and we focus on the trial.

That's good. Very
professional, Edie. I like it.

We have a car outside

waiting to take you straight back

- to your apartment right past the press.
- Uh, yeah. Uh, Jules.

The only thing that got me through

sitting in that jail cell was you

knowing that you'd be
out here waiting for me.

I debated whether to even be here.

But... but you're here,

because you know this is a witch hunt.

Sexual assault. I could
never hurt women.

I spent my entire
career caring for them,

and that's what you...
you need to help...

- Dad.
People understand,

that this isn't who I am,

so what we need to do...
what we need to do

- is craft a statement.
- Dad.

Yeah, now I know you think
that we should lay low

for a little while.
I'm not gonna lay low.

I am gonna fight this ridiculous charge.

Dad, I am trying to keep
the clinic from going under.

I'm trying to keep our staff

from turning in their resignations.

I'm trying to keep our remaining
patients from abandoning us.

I have God knows how
many brothers and sisters

including one shacked
up in my guest room

- that I didn't know about all because of you.
- I understand you're upset

- and you're tired.
- No, don't talk to me like I'm a child.

- I don't need a nap. Dad.
- Let's just sleep on it, all right?

- And we can talk about it tomo...
- I turned in the laptop.

You did what?

I took it to the cops
and I dropped it off.

I don't want to craft a statement.

I'm not gonna help you anymore.

I'm done.

Mm. We need to get going.

- Car's waiting.

I'm Roxy.

Doyle.

I'm one of your, uh...

I kn... I know Julia's really upset.

I'm... I'm just really
stoked to meet you.

Roxy.

So kind of you to come.

Thank you.

Hey, listen.

If you need anything,

you can find me @TheRealRoxyD04
across all platforms.

Julia.
- Grace.

Hi.
- Hi.

Thank God you're here.

What is happening?

Did your father really do those things?

Um, let's sit.

This is all gonna be okay.

Your father is under investigation

and the rumors are this
place is getting shut down.

- Mm-hmm.
- Just, I'm... I've been trying

to have a baby here for five years.

I just finished my fourth round of IVF,

and my husband and I have
already been through so much

- and so now with the...
- Grace.

Listen, I know that this is hard

and weird and completely unfair,

but we are going to be here for you.

I am going to be here
for you. I promise.

I will not rest until
your baby's picture

is pinned up on that wall.

Okay? Trust me.

Yeah, yeah. Okay.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

Julia, the meeting. People are waiting.

The first time I came to the clinic,

I was six years old
selling Girl Scout cookies.

At 14, I did my first summer job here.

During college I interned
here every summer

and then I started working
here right after I graduated.

This is my home. This
is home for all of us.

And I also know that there's
a lot of people out there

right now who are scared and uncertain.

People who feel like one
E-mail from a testing company

might tear their entire lives apart,

but we have always taken
care of people here,

and that shouldn't stop now.

Pema Chodron... a Buddhist teacher

that I had to Google... once said,

"The orchard is only as strong..."

I can't take this anymore.

Tell her, Isaac.

Tell m... tell me what?

Julia...

We, uh, called this meeting
for a very specific reason.

Oh, okay.

Uh, don't you want to know what
the orchard is as strong as?

What's going on?

We have to make a change
to your employment status.

Okay.

What kind of change?

For God sakes, Julia.

Haven't you ever been fired before?

I just got done telling everyone

that this is the only
place that I've ever worked.

You can't fire me.

If we have any chance for survival,

we can't have a Bechley here.

I'm not my dad.

You all know this.

Isaac?

Julia.

Jan?

I love you, Julia, but not as much

as I love having health insurance.

Julia.

- Julia, wait!
- What?

What do you want?

You need a second to gloat?

You win. You got rid of me.

Julia, nobody wanted to get rid...

My dad did this, not me, okay?

My entire life got turned upside down

and the only thing that I
had left was this stupid job.

You should have stood up for me.

People listen to you here.

Julia, wait.

The root system.
What?

That's what makes the orchard strong.

The root system.

Your Honor, my client
has a prominent standing

in the community.

He's internationally
recognized for his work.

All reasons he's a
potential flight risk.

Financial resources,
international contacts.

He's not James Bond.

He's a doctor with years
of service to the community.

He's also a criminal,

and given the damage he did,
the deception he practiced,

that community is better off
with him under house arrest

in his nice, big apartment.

Okay, I think I have
enough to deliberate on,

Counselors.

Nice to know it's a crime
to have a big apartment.

I wouldn't know, counselor.

- I'm on a government salary.

That didn't stop you from buying
this season's Chloe boots.

- Can't live on bread alone.

The Andersons are coming
in for a check-up tomorrow.

She's fine but the husband is a mess,

so, um... he's obsessed with the Jets,

which... I know... is sad.

Watch the game tonight and then tomorrow

when they come in maybe
talk about it with him.

- It'll calm him down.
Got it.

Debby Goldman is bringing in her baby

for a visit on Wednesday.

Make sure you get a good
picture for the wall,

and let her know that I'll
be there for the Bris.

And Grace Fields has
been trying to have a baby

with us for the past five years,

and if this next round doesn't go well,

she's going to be a wreck,
so take good care of her.

- Okay.
- I can't believe this is happening.

All right.

I think that's it.

I'm sorry, Julia.

I know. Thanks, Jan.

I thought I told you t...

Yeah, I'd like one favor.

No.

Well, okay, I would do it myself,

but you turned in my
laptop to the police

and now I am wearing an ankle bracelet

that talks to a gentleman
from the probation office.

Your timing is horrific.

Okay, I... I'd like you to bring me, uh,

that drawing that you made for me.

What drawing?

Well, you know, the
one that I keep on my desk.

I think you made it in the third grade.

It says, "World's Greatest Dad".

I think you made the stethoscope

out of, uh, spaghetti.

It was macaroni and pipe cleaners.

Right. Uh, okay.

But, uh, Julia, here's the thing.

Could you just... could you
just please, uh, bring it to me?

I mean, you know,
they...

They took everything else.

It would... it would mean so much
if I could just have that back.

And you all recently found out
that I am in fact a Bechley baby.

Aww. And here I am in
front of a wall of babies,

a whole collage of potential mini me's.

I have to go.

Check it.

Me and this little dude
are total chin twins.

Roxy, we told you this.
You can't film in here.

It's not film. It's digital.

Okay, okay, listen.

You have to stop doing that, okay?

- I just told her that.
Hi, Dr. Isaac.

Listen, I don't know if you heard,

but I'm actually part of the family now,

so it'd be great if
you could just back off.

Take care of that, Julia.

This is total crap!

I mean, how can they do this to you?

Your father is Leon Bechley.

Right, the man whose
response to ruining my life

is asking me to bring him
a drawing I made for him

when I was eight years old.

Aww, that's really sweet.

No, it's not. It's...
you don't know his game.

First I'm bringing him the drawing.

Next he'll have me
picking up his hand-rolled

tortellini en brodo from Trattoria Buca.

Trattoria who?

It's his favorite restaurant,

which is terrible for his health.

And he's probably not taking his meds.

He just had a heart attack.

Doctors are the worst patients.

You wanna go see him, huh?

No, I don't. I wanna kill him.

But it was my job to worry
about him for so long.

You know, I have a
little free time today.

If you want I can go over
there and check on him

and make sure he's taking his meds

and... and let you know.

Fine.

Fine, just go over there

and make sure that he's taking his meds.

- All of them.
- Yeah.

- And... and report back to me.
- Okay.

- And no lingering.
- Yeah.

No, listen. You won't regret this.

- Can I borrow 50 bucks?

Yeah, we're leaving, Mark.

So at the hearing today...

Mm-hmm?

Is it me or was there,
like, a vibe happening

between you and Amanda Doherty?

- I don't know what you mean.
I don't know.

It was like the way she made you laugh,

it was like she caught you off guard,

and I don't know.

I just feel like I haven't
been able to do that

- for you in a while.

So you were watching
the two of us sparring?

Two women and you got what?

Jealous?

I don't know. I... I just...

Or did you get turned on?

Both.

Well, um, maybe I can
help you out with that.

Hey. Hope I'm not interrupting.

Roxy, uh, it's... uh, it's you.

A little birdie told me that this

was your favorite restaurant.

Bucca di Beppo.

Oh. Hmm.

Is this wrong?

No, it's actually Trattoria Buca,

not, uh, Boopa de... the...

Oh, my God. I knew I would get it wrong.

I get everything wrong.

You're this fancy person.

I mean, of course you're not
gonna eat from a chain place.

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- Oh, no, no, no, no.

It's great. It's okay.

No, no, hang on. Come on in.

You know, it smells, uh, great.

Um, it's just, uh, you
know, it's new to me,

so I, uh, yeah.

What are, uh, these?

Um, garlic knots.

Oh.

Huh.

That's delicious.

Yeah.

I was so nervous to meet you.

Mm.

This is, like, the biggest thing

that's happened in my life, like, ever.

No bigger than landing
that vault at Athens.

Two and a half twists? Hmm.

Yeah, but I mean, I landed
on my ass in the individuals.

I had to settle for silver.

You didn't settle.

You were robbed.

Come on.

I think so, too.

I mean, and the judging
system is so rigged.

I mean, don't even get me
started on the Romanians.

Yeah, not a huge fan of the
system right now, either.

Hey, listen, you're gonna
beat this case, okay?

And especially with
Edie helping you, I mean,

I thought I was intense.

Pretty sure Edie sleeps upside down.

- You're in good hands.

Anyway, um, uh, you seem all right.

Uh, I can't really stay.

Well, you're not gonna join me?

I mean, I can't eat this all by myself.

And I wanna hear more about
you and... here you are.

And your... your road to Olympic glory.

Well, I guess it would be a shame

to let those knots get cold.

Yeah. Don't eat all of them.

Oh, ooh. Sorry.

Hi, hello.

Um, I forgot my bike lock at home.

Sorry.

Uh... uh, packages go
downstairs through security.

Oh, I'm... I'm not a bike messenger.

I, um... I'm looking for Edie Palmer.

And you are?

A new client and a new sister.

You still worried about Amanda?

Who's Amanda?

You have no idea how
safe I feel in your arms.

Edie?

Julia?

Hello.

Should I put my jacket on?

Can I come in? Great, thanks.

Hey.

Am I interrupting something?

- No.
- Yes.

What's up, Julia?

They fired me... the clinic,

and I realize that I... I can't let them

do that to me, you know? I...

Are you guys okay?

Were you working out or something?

No. You were saying?

Right.

Um, I'm not gonna just
walk away from the clinic

because of my father's actions.

Those patients, they... they need me,

and I need them.

I brought my employment
agreement because I was hoping

maybe you guys could look at it.

I don't understand it.

Maybe there's a loophole
or something that, um...

I'm sorry, is that underwear?

What we do is our business or pleasure.

It's both. We're married.

I know.

I'm not an employment
lawyer, but I'd be happy

to take a look at this contract.

- I'm sure I could help.
Thank you.

That's very nice of you.

Also, you staying away from
the clinic is a good idea,

for the case and for you.

You don't have to be your dad's
glorified secretary anymore.

I'm the vice president of commun...

you know what? It doesn't matter.

Whatever, I...

Okay. I'm gonna go.

Listen, if I lose my job,

I lose everything.

So...

How badly does the laptop hurt the case?

It's their entire case, Julia.

What did you think?

I didn't think it was gonna be this bad.

I mean, sexual assault?

Leon put her in a terrible position.

If she didn't turn it in,

she would have become an accomplice.

Well, the damage is done,

so let the professionals clean it up.

Your panties are
literally in your pocket.

We're married.

I'm aware.

I didn't keep a
record of everyone, you know?

Just the special patients.

Exceptional people like you.

I mean, I just wanted to
see... marvel, really...

at how amazing you became. Yeah.

But again, I mean, it ends up looking

like I'm some kind of creep.

I mean, I... I see how
it can look like that,

you know, to the wrong people.

I knew my material would work.

It's why I used it and only until

other technology made it unnecessary.

But I stopped years ago,

not that anyone would believe me.

But, uh...

I only wanted to help.

You know, for that, I'm crucified.

I believe you.

Thank you.

I wish everyone would.

Well, not everyone, but...

You mean Julia?

I can talk to her.

No, it's okay.

She has every right to be angry.

Anyway, sorry.

Uh, it's your... it's your
roll. What are we doing?

- Okay.
- Yeah.

We're in discovery.

Right now they have enough
on him for criminal fraud

and malpractice,

but the sexual assault
charge is a huge overreach,

so we're gunning for dismissal.

What do they have?

It's mostly just based on his laptop,

showing nefarious intent by tracking

the children he produced.

Well, don't underestimate

a politically motivated prosecutor

in this current climate, okay?

She could drum up a
lot of public outcry,

get everyone calling for his head.

I don't intend to let that happen.

You have a relationship
with Amanda Doherty?

We're friendly.

Take her out for a couple cosmos,

see if you can suss out her bottom line.

You might be able to
make a deal with her.

It's a really good idea. I'll handle it.

No, I have a
feeling Edie should do it.

She might have more luck
charming this particular gal.

How's my dad?

- Got in, got out?
Yep.

'Cause it's pretty late.

Well, maybe I had plans after.

I don't think you did.

All right, fine.

I spent the whole time there.

But it was awesome.

I mean, he has my
same weird pinkie toes.

Do you know how cool it is to
see that for the first time?

Oh, and I learned how
to play backgammon.

- Did he take his meds?
- Yeah, he said he did.

So you didn't do the one
thing that I asked you to do?

He said that he took
them, and I believe him.

You know, he's really
sad. He misses you a lot.

He misses what I did for him.

No, he misses you and
how you look up to him

and how you respect him.

He was just trying to help people

and now he's getting crucified.

Crucified?

Did he tell you to say that?

I think of my own words to say.

No, that is his word.

I'm sorry but don't think that he

just automatically likes you.

He's... he's using you to get to me.

Because it's so impossible to believe

he might enjoy spending time with me?

Why do I smell garlic?

- I don't know.
- I definitely smell garlic.

All right, fine.

I... I brought him garlic
knots, and you know what?

- He loved them.
- That's not true. He hates garlic.

He would never eat garlic knots.

You just can't stand that
you have a little competition

for your dad's love for once.

That's what's keeping you up at night.

How do you know that I'm up at night?

Because, Julia, I sleep
right next to you

and I can hear you tossing
and turning all night.

I'm having
nightmares populated by

who knows how many half siblings I have

just running around in the world

waiting to crash into my life.

Maybe I would sleep
a lot better if I had

a pharmacy in my purse.

You know, everything I take
is prescribed by doctors.

And doctors never do anything wrong?

He was trying to help.

And just think, if he didn't,

- you wouldn't have me.
- I don't want you!

Here. I don't want you here.

I want my life back.

All right, well, you got it.

Okay, I'll go pack my crap.

Ow.

Hands in the air! We're armed!

- Roxy!
- Wow, Diane.

If I was a thief you
were gonna attack me

with a gymnastics trophy?

Oh, don't judge your
mother's choices, sweetheart.

Wow, you guys have made that real hard.

Your hand in that cookie jar as always.

You and your sweet tooth.

It's where I keep my extra cash.

Or I used to, before somebody found it.

That's my extra cash.

Earned from my blood,
sweat, and hamstring tears.

- Where is it?
- Hmm.

No, not unless you come back.

Yeah, come home, sweetie.
We've been worried sick.

I know what you're worried about, Ron.

It's losing your steady income stream.

Don't call me Ron. Don't call...

call me... call me Dad, sweetie.

I would but, you know, I've, um...

I've met my actual dad now
so, you know, what's the point?

What are you talking about? You met him?

- Yeah.
- How could you?

He's a... he's a charlatan.
He's a predator.

No, he's not.

He is smart and he's generous

and he doesn't take half
of everything that I make.

It's like I finally
know what it feels like

to have an actual dad.

- Get out.
- Ron.

- No, get out.

Get out! Get out of our house!

Go on! Don't forget your drugs.

And have a good time with your new dad!

By the way, he's a felon!

Hi. Hey.

I, um... I got your message
and it... it sounded urgent.

- Are you okay?
- You left the clinic.

You said you'd be there and you
weren't when I needed you most.

I know. I'm... I'm so sorry.

I... I, um... I'm a Bechley
and my name is doing

more harm than good right now, so...

and, you know, who am I kidding?

You know, I was just my dad's
glorified secretary anyway.

I need to talk to you
because I'm pregnant.

- Oh, my God!

Really? Yes!

- I'm pregnant!
Oh, my God!

- We did it!
- No, you did it.

No, when I got the news, Julia,

the strangest thing happened.

The first person I needed
to tell wasn't my husband

or my mom.

It was you.

From the moment we got to that clinic,

you were this beacon,
this shining light.

You listened to us.

You made my husband and me laugh,

even at our most desperate moment.

You cared.

You never gave up on us.

Your father might be some sort of genius

but he's not the reason
we chose Bechley.

You are.

You're the heart of that place.

You're no secretary.

Is everything all right?

Yeah.

I tried to talk to Julia
but she's really mad at you,

and now at me, so...

Well, okay, but are you planning to...

Oh, yeah, that'd be great. Thanks.

Okay, hold on.

Edie said that I'm not allowed to...

Wow, did you collect all of these?

Like, from around the world?

Uh, no, they're mostly
gifts from patients.

Fertility idols.

Uh, yeah, everyone
thinks they're the first

- to have the idea.

People are idiots.

Well, in my experience, anyway.

You know, I... I planned
to travel, you know,

when I retired.

So many places I wanna see.

You know, but, uh, things
didn't exactly work out,

uh, that way so... oh, ah.

- Ow.
- Oh, your back?

Yeah, yeah, all the time.

Yeah, it's hyperextension
in your lumbar.

All those double
twists before your spine

is even fully formed.

It never really goes away.

- It just kind of sits there.
- Yeah.

All the time reminding me.

Hey, do you wanna get out of here?

Because I can take you on a ride.

I have a sweet Porsche.

I mean, you know,
absolutely, but, you know,

the state, uh, has, uh, other ideas.

- Oh, I have a hack for that.

Okay.

But I think I should drive.

I know it's premature to
be talking about a deal,

but my client is eager
to get on with his life.

You mean your father?
Your client's your father.

How you doing with that little nugget?

We're genetically connected. That's all.

Well, it still must be hard.

A little.

Sometimes I feel like
I'm floating or something.

- I don't... like, thrown.
- Yeah, I do.

I felt that way last week.

You're a good kisser.

Um, I had a lot to drink that night.

I was upset about things
that were happening

and, uh, we should
probably stick to business.

If you take the assault
charges off the table I...

Nice try. I'm not reducing the charges.

The evidence doesn't support it.

Even if it did,

the state gets convictions
in less than 1%

of sexual assault cases.

My track record's much higher.

Over 90%?

'Cause that's what you're up against.

You've won 90% of your cases?

87. I rounded up.

Are all your percentages that high?

My percentages?

Where do you fall on
the lesbian spectrum?

You're hard to read.

The what?

Am I the first woman you ever kissed?

We should probably just stick
to talking about the case.

No, no. No judgment.

When I came out, someone
had to fill me in, too.

A woman's sexuality is a continuum.

0% gay all the way up to 100%.

Most of us are somewhere in between.

Where are you?

80/20.

That's pretty specific for
something so unknowable.

I've been at it for a while
so for me it's knowable.

What about you?

50/50.

You know, I bet we
can get that number up.

- One second.

I have to take this.

This is Doherty.

Sorry, it's loud in here.

Whose ankle bracelet went off?

Call me after you get to his apartment.

Hopefully it was a malfunction.

Edie, hi.

Your father seems to have escaped.

Escaped?

I don't know what he's thinking,

but this judge does not appreciate

50-year-old white men who
think they're above the law.

You need to figure out
where he would go, find him,

and bring him back to his apartment now.

Yeah, he's not really
my problem anymore.

Oh, God.

Damn it!

Damn it. Damn it.

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

You know, we could have gone anywhere

The bar, the casino,

the homes of your enemies.

But your old office is cool, too.

Yeah, well there's, uh...

there's something that I needed.

Oh, Julia make that?
- Mm-hmm.

She's, uh, talented.

She was always, uh,
really good with, uh,

- the mixed media.

Well, that, uh, sure
seems, uh, foolish now.

I don't think awards are foolish.

Feels really good up on the podium.

It's the, uh, climb
down that's the thing.

It certainly is.

Roxy, you're high.

- No.
- Yeah, you are.

I'm... I'm a doctor. I can tell.

What'd you take?

Half a Vicie.

Twice.

Mmm.

And how... how often do you partake?

I don't really wanna get into this.

No, no, no. It's... it's okay.

Really.

Um, pretty often.

Pretty much every day.

- Okay.
- It's... it's not that it stops the pain

but it stops me from
thinking about it, so...

I'd like to try to help you with that.

If you want.

Yeah, I want.

Hmm.

Hate to interrupt
whatever this is,

but you do realize that
you're currently risking

getting thrown back into jail?

Julia, it's fine.

Roxy had a... a hack.

Then why did I just get a call from Edie

saying the Department of Probation

is on their way to your
apartment right now?

Oh, snap. We gotta jet.

Come on.

Your probation officer's
going to be here any second,

so you might wanna get the
ankle bracelet back on now.

Yeah, I...

You put it on a
vacuum robot, seriously?

Yeah, registers movement.

Yeah, got it.

It's actually, uh, quite clever.

Foot up, bracelet on now.

- Not smart, guys.

Damn it. Hurry.

We'll be right there!

You ate garlic knots?

Incredibly delicious.

Department of
Probation; open up now.

Okay, let me look
it up on bailhack.com.

Oh, just give me the damn thing.

We're gonna talk later, you and me.

Evening.

I got a report of a possible malfunction

with Mr. Bechley's ankle bracelet.

Excuse me, it's Dr. Bechley.

And you can address
me. I'm his attorney.

All right, I need to
know if he did anything

to cause that malfunction.

The only thing
malfunctioning here, officer,

is the criminal justice system.

You shackle my client who, by the way,

is still innocent in the eyes of the law

and then you show up at his home

at this late hour to what? Harass him?

You can clearly see he's here.

He's been here the whole time,

so you can take this,
because rest assured,

I will be in the judge's chambers

first thing tomorrow morning to
have the terms of his bail modified.

Good evening.

- Very impressive.

Are you sure?

Because I had, like,
three Scotches earlier.

I barely got through that.

How'd you think you were
gonna get away with it?

Oh, see, there's a
little sensor on the bottom.

Oh, we're not talking about
the ankle bracelet anymore,

are we? That's my bad.

It's hard to explain.

You go one day to the next thinking, uh,

"Tomorrow I'll come clean."

And then, uh, you know, the years pass

and, uh, tomorrow somehow

doesn't come.

Well, it's tomorrow now, Dad.

I've been on this case
for three days now,

and you guys are by far the
worst family of any client

I've ever experienced.

No more turning in laptops or
taking Dad on joyrides, please.

Oh, and I read your
employment agreement.

You run the clinic now.

Wait, what?

There's a clause at the end
referring to a succession plan

should Leon become incapacitated.

- You're in charge.
- Wait.

She's the boss?

You're the boss.

I'm the boss?

Oh, Isaac is gonna hate this.

I don't supposed that you want her.

No, ma'am.

I'll give you a month. That's it.

- I love you.
- No, you don't.

Can you guys take this outside?

- What do you mean? It's how I feel.
It's not. It's not.

How can you know
how I feel, Julsey?

So let's make
sure that we've contacted

any of the remaining patients
by the end of day Monday.

Okay?
Oh, Julia.

Hi, Jan.
Hi.

Hello, everyone. Isaac, hello.

Uh, do you mind if I sit there?

Julia, you do understand
that part of being terminated

is you don't show up to
the staff meetings, right?

I do, but I'm just gonna
read this real quick.

The bylaws of the
Bechley Institute state,

"In the event of the incapacitation

or removal of Dr. Leon Bechley,

all operational control is
retained by Julia Bechley",

which is, um... who is that again?

- Oh, it's me.

Isaac, you should
probably give her the seat.

I don't know what a medical facility

expects to do with you in charge.

You're not a doctor, but sure.

Go.

You're right.

I'm not a doctor.

Or a genius.

I don't have that
arrogance or that certainty

that comes with thinking
that I'm always right

no matter what I do,

but I do care about people.

I always have.

Probably too much and too often,

and I know that there's
a lot of people out there

that need to be cared about right now.

They need answers. They need support.

Community.

And we could be that place for them.

Not just for potential Bechley babies,

but for... for anyone who
feels like their identity

has been torn from them.

You know, anyone like me.

So, that's what we're going to do.

This is our future.

The new Bechley Institute starts today.

Oh.

- Nice speech.
- Thank you.

Any idea how to implement it?

Not a clue.

I'm gonna need your help.

We'll do it together.

We'll do it together.

With me as the boss, but together.

We're still in the
process of identifying

the defendant's innumerable offspring.

At this point any stranger on the street

could be a potential witness.

Your Honor, the prosecution
has no reason to believe

that Dr. Bechley would
engage in witness tampering.

He's been fully compliant
with the state...

Despite a report from
the probation office...

That was deemed a
mechanical malfunction.

Dr. Bechley is looking forward
to mounting a vigorous defense

to clear his name.

He's also recovering
from a heart attack.

Restricting him to his apartment

is excessively punitive and unnecessary.

And if I were to lift the house arrest,

who will be responsible for him?

I will, Your Honor.

And you are?

Uh, Roxy Doyle.

I'm Dr. Bechley's daughter.

Dr. Bechley, you owe
your daughter a big thank-you.

Your house arrest is lifted,
effective immediately.

I have to go to work.

Jules.

Hey.

Hey.

What?

Why are you looking at me like that?

I think that's the first
time I liked being owned.

In court.

Well, I don't think I owned you.

I think the judge just
understood the logic

of loosening the conditions and...

No, keep going.

You were saying something
about loosening conditions.

I may have underestimated myself.

I have trouble believing you
ever underestimate yourself.

Not in court.

On the, uh... in the, um...

the spectrum thing.

Um...

Maybe I'm a 60/40.

Well, I like the direction
you're trending in.

You okay to head home on your own?

Yes, thanks.

Uh, she kicked butt in there.

You're a lucky man.

Just stay out of trouble.

You wanted to see me?

I can't let this clinic that I built

for 32 years be destroyed.

Isaac, you have been my number
two for a very long time.

I need you.

Julia's running things now,

and you're not allowed to have
anything to do with the clinic.

It's too big of a risk
for you and it's...

I know, yeah.

I have always believed that you

were gonna be my true successor.

Mmm.

But we have our work cut out for us.

Uh, take us to, uh,
Trattoria Buca, please.

Uh, Dr. Bechley, I don't... I
don't think it's the best idea

for us to be seen
together in a restaurant.

I... I wasn't
inviting you to lunch.

No, just... just for the ride.

Holy...

Julia.

- Are you okay?
- Tim!

No, I've actually had
a really tough day.

Um, how are you?

Uh, I'm okay,

but I'm a little bit worried about you.

Uh, no, I'm... I'm a rock.

I can handle anything,
you know, about me.
