- You want a refill?

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

You two are so bad
at acting casual

that I don't understand how
I ever lose to you in poker.

- I don't know what you mean.
- Makes no sense to me.

- Camp out with a pair
of binoculars.

You'll be less obvious.

- Oh, up, up.

- Emerson.

- She's here.

Still don't know
what I'm gonna say, Bri.

Like, "Hi, nice to meet you.

"My dad cheated
on my mom with you,

"but on the bright side,
I really like your son."

- I like it.
Break the ice.

What'd your dad say?
- Nothing.

Ever since I came back,
all he wants to do is talk,

but about this...
nothing.

- Hello, uh, Briana, Sydney,
this is my mother,

General Virginia Howe.

- Ma'am.

- This is one of her former
lieutenants, Aaron Shepherd.

- Lieutenant Shepherd.
- Lieutenant.

- Nice to meet you.

Thank you.

- Should we wait here?

- Hello, Virginia.

- Elijah.

- Why don't you join me
in my office?

Uh, please,
feel free to have a seat.

- You look well.

- You too.

- Emerson tells me...

he's been enjoying his time
with you and your daughter

- Virginia.

We didn't talk for 20 years,
and when we finally did,

it was a phone call with some
pretty big news, so...

I'd just appreciate...

- Yeah.

I apologize
for coming to you like this.

I wouldn't have done it
unless lives were at stake.

People have died.
Good soldiers.

I believe more will...

unless you help.

Some of what I'm about
to tell you is classified.

I am committing a crime
by sharing it with you.

Six months ago,

I lost a special operations
detachment in Niger

when they mistakenly
called in an air strike

on their own position.

This is a civilian
GPS application.

I want you to note how
the coordinates are displayed.

Now, two things about the
incident in Niger troubled me.

The first was that the man who
supposedly made this mistake

was as careful
an operator as I've met

in 30 years of service.

And the second
was that his mistake wasn't

a simple transposing of digits.

It involved reading the last
three digits entirely wrong.

- With all due respect,
I imagine in combat

human error does happen
all the time.

- Which is why I wrote it off.

Until it happened again
to Lieutenant Shepherd.

- Two-two, this is one, over.

- My platoon
was transiting an area

in a three-vehicle convoy.

Popov 2, watch the ridge
to our north!

- Excuse me, where is this?
- The location isn't important.

- If you're gonna come to us
and ask us for help,

then we get to decide
what's important.

- Bravo, bravo!

- We came under fire.

So I called
for close air support.

Manila Hotel, Lightning 34,

Request CAS Tomahawk Ridge.

Current pos,
six, three, decimal, niner,

five, eight, three.

Repeat, six, three, decimal,
niner, five, eight, three.

I relayed those coordinates
to the combat air controller,

who relayed them
to the A-10 on station.

- And they hit you instead?

- I lost four soldiers.

16 wounded.

Including myself.

I lost my leg and my career.

- In both instances,
the patrols were using

a GPS prototype manufactured
by Nomadis Industries.

- If you think there's
a problem, why come to us?

Why not take it to the Army?

- Because they don't believe
there is a problem.

They investigated
the technology,

tried to reproduce the fault.

The unit passed every time.

- So either the technology
isn't at fault

- Or Nomadis figured out a way
to cover it up.

And you think it's the latter.

- Prototype is being tested
by a few hundred patrols,

but division-wide rollout
starts in a few weeks.

That's 50,000 soldiers.

- God damn it, Dad.
- I know.

I would send her
right back out the door

if I didn't believe her.

But I do.

So we have two choices here.

We refer the case
to someone else,

or we take it.

- Well, if we refer the case
and they lose,

then we're gonna turn on
the news one day

and hear soldiers dead,
and that will be on us.

You know that's what
we're gonna think.

You can bet she knows that too.

- So then I'll take it.
I'll work it with Anthony.

You stay a thousand miles away.

- Nope, see,
I can't do that either,

because if you two lose,
then I still feel the guilt.

We're gonna take the case.

Okay?
And we'll win.

And when it comes
to the good general,

we'll just compartmentalize.

- Not exactly your strong suit.

- Yeah, well,
she'll just have to deal

with what she gets, won't she?

.

- I think if I can get
the City Council

to see the error of its ways,

it'll mean the school
stays in that district.

- I think you would make
a fantastic civic leader.

I'm just saying.

- Hey, Mom.
- Hi.

- Can we talk?
- You know, you're late, Eric.

Your mom's award ceremony
was weeks ago.

- Anthony.

It's all right.

Let's take a walk.

- Mom...

about the gala.

- It was a beautiful event,
and you were missed.

Now, what's wrong?

You may be grown up,
but your facial expressions

are the same as when
you were a little boy.

- It's Buzzy.

- What's your grandfather
done now?

- When he retires,
it's not like I want him

to go off playing golf.

The staff loves him.
I do too.

- I know my father.
You can skip the windup.

What did he do?

- Well, he's undermining me.

First, it was little stuff.

You know,
nothing I couldn't handle.

But last week, he ran off
our new graphic designer.

Set the label refresh back
by months.

- He fired them?

- No, literally ran them
off the property.

In his Escalade.

- Yeah, the scariest part
about that story

is that he is still driving.

- Well, when he heard
I had the team working on

an experimental small batch,

you know,
trying to expand our brand,

he called everyone traitors,

and dumped the batch

into the estuary
behind the warehouse.

Sorry to put you
in the middle of this, but

- He's my father.
You're my son.

I am the middle of this.

I'll talk to him.

Come on.

- Okay, so, tell me
how this sounds.

Detective Walker's testimony,
that's gonna make it clear

that George was the fall guy
for Tess' murder.

Then, gonna put George's wife
on the stand,

some of his old friends,

and I'm gonna tell the jury

all the things
that George has lost.

And finally,
I'm gonna have testimony

from George's son Ben.

- What about George?

Doesn't he have to testify?

- No, technically, no.

But to be honest,
I'd be worried

he'd get up on the stand
and tell the jury

how happy he is that this...

whole nightmare happened.

- Is he okay, Jake?
- Yeah.

- Yeah, he's gonna be.
We're gonna get him there.

- Mm.
- Yeah.

- Okay.
- Mm-hmm.

- Well, I found something that
might help you with the case,

a way to find the real killers.

You hear how they found that
serial killer in California

by uploading his DNA
to all those ancestry websites?

- Yeah.

Yes.

You think Robbie's gonna give
us the DNA profile on our guy?

- You know he'll do
anything for Sydney.

You know that.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- I, um, I know it can't
be easy taking Mom's case.

- It's the right thing to do.

- Yeah.

How are you?

- Well, of course,
it's complicated,

but this is so important.

- Dad.

How are you?

- Confused, angry, frustrated.

I'm scared, son.

Got a whole lot of things
going on.

- Can I help you.
- Hi. Is Elijah ready?

- If you think of a product
liability case as a building,

depositions are its foundation.

They show us
where we're strong,

and reveal to us places
where we need shoring up.

- I'll start with Nomadis.

The Army may not be able
to reproduce

the fault that you reported,

but chances are somewhere

in the cycle
of product development,

they have must've come across
a similar issue.

- We never ran into
a similar issue.

Not once.

Not in the entire
development cycle,

which you will be able to see
once you review

the 1,500 pages of data
we'll be sending your way.

- Then we get our two best
witnesses on the record,

the soldier who was in
the passenger seat,

Private Beard.

In all your time serving
under Lieutenant Shepherd,

did you ever see him make such
a gross navigational mistake?

- No, sir.

- Did you ever see him
make any navigational error

insofar as using a GPS unit?

- No, sir.

- Do you believe
Lieutenant Shepherd

when he says that he read
this unit properly?

- 100%, sir.

- But you didn't see
the GPS unit yourself.

Did you, Private?
- No, sir.

- So he could've misread it,

and you just wouldn't know,
correct?

- That's correct.

- And we'll conclude
with your testimony.

Now, depositions can become
really frustrating,

so just remember to keep
your answers simple and short.

Tell the truth.

Lieutenant Shepherd,
you had completed

your service contract
last when you decided to re-up.

Why is that?

- I love my country,

and I think we're making
the world a better place.

- And in all your years
of service,

have you ever misidentified
yourself, your soldiers,

or even the enemy on a radio
call to close air support?

- No, ma'am.

- Is there any chance
you read that GPS incorrectly?

- Absolutely not.

I always check
our position twice,

which is why I repeated it
on that radio call.

- Thank you.

- Lieutenant Shepherd,
what is Embargos?

- Uh, a bar on our base.

- Did you drink the night
before the incident?

- Wells, how is that relevant?

- I'd say if he was hungover,
could have an impact

on whether or not
he mixed up the numbers.

You drank almost every night,
didn't you?

- No.

- In fact,
July 12th of this year,

you were cited
by your commanding officer

for excessive
alcohol consumption.

- Because we lost
an entire patrol.

- And you drank
to deal with it,

something you often did.

- Aaron...
- How would you sleep at night

if you went to a funeral
every week?

- Aaron.

- Buried more friends
than you made?

- Soldier!

- Mrs. Bedford, you know
that this club is for men only.

- Oh, shut up, Carl!

- So our CEO ran to his mommy.

- For advice on how to deal
with a grumpy, old ex-CEO

who is getting in his way.

Daddy, I could understand
if Eric was doing a bad job,

but we've seen more growth
since he took over

than the last
five years combined.

- Short-term gains
at a long-term cost.

New labels, flavored batches.

His ideas are soft,

not in line with the brand
that my grandfather created,

and that my father and I worked
so hard to preserve.

- The world is changing, Daddy.

Perhaps new ideas are what
the company needs to thrive.

- Oh, that's
your professional advice?

'Cause I seem to remember you
turning our back on the job,

coming home one day and telling
us all you had an epiphany.

You wanted to be a lawyer!

- Here we go again.

- You had a choice in that,
Della Rose.

You chose yourself.

- Now I'll sooner sell
Bedford Bourbon

than let your son
drag it into mediocrity.

- You can't possibly mean that.

This is the family's legacy.

- Wrong. It's my legacy.
You broke the line.

I'm meeting with some investors
from New York week.

I'll let you know
what I decide.

- We believe
Lieutenant Shepherd,

but with his record
and no other evidence...

Virginia, it's just not enough
to get this case to trial.

Let alone win.

- So the case is dead.

- For now.

- Adapting and accepting
is what I do for a living.

- I never regretted
our time together.

And our son is a blessing.

But I

I can't help wondering if...

I could've done something...

if I had known,
if you would've told me.

- If I had told you?

Well, I-I know
you cared about me.

But not like you did her.

I had a child coming.

I had a career that was gonna
take me around the world.

And I had a man I loved whose
life I would've destroyed.

So I made the choice
that was best for all of us.

I made the only choice I could.

And what's bothering you
is you know it too.

You said Lieutenant Shepherd's
word wasn't good enough.

How about the word
of a three-star general?

I'll testify.

.

- You said the Niger mission
was classified.

Testifying,
even before a closed hearing

- Will end your career,
and could see you in prison

with no guarantee of success.

- A chance is better
than no chance.

- We'll find another way.
Sydney and I haven't given up.

- It won't change the fact
that you need me as a witness.

Give us some time.

- Even if we had time,
the equation doesn't change.

- You came to us for help.

I cannot support this,
Virginia.

- Sydney, I want to know
what you think.

Your father's
and my emotional history

is either clouding
his judgment,

or it's clouding mine.

I didn't get three stars
by being special.

I got them by knowing
who to trust.

Would you do it if you were me?

- Yes, I would.

- Thank you.

I trust you'll notify
the necessary parties,

and I can go on record
as soon as tomorrow.

- So now
we want to win so much,

we take bad risks
with people's lives.

- You think if I had lied
and said no,

she would've backed down?

- Sydney, I think if she was
a different person...

you would've maybe
given a different answer.

- Now who's having trouble
compartmentalizing?

You heard?

- She told me.

- It's, uh...

a really brave thing,
what she's doing.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Protecting people
is what she does.

At my expense.

You know, she protected Dad...

at my expense.

She serves her country...

at my expense.

I don't know.
I justI wish...

one time that she would ask me.

You know, it's not like
I would say no.

I would just...

I'd be a part of the yes.

- Who are those guys?

- If I had to guess,

I'd say
the Department of Defense.

- Great.

- General Ardmore, sir.

- General Howe.

- To what do we owe
the pleasure

of this visit, General?

And with counsel, no less.

- We've been following

Lieutenant Shepherd's
civil suit.

You don't actually plan
to testify, do you, General?

- If that's what it takes
to get the Army

to delay its rollout
of a product

that can cost American lives,

it is her moral right
and imperative.

- I'd advise you against it,
Virginia.

- Is that an order, sir?

- The Department of Defense

would prefer to handle
this grievance internally.

We take care of our own.
You know that.

- I know the Department
of Defense has exhausted

its resources as far as
this matter is concerned.

I haven't exhausted mine.

- Virginia...

I know you believe
in what you're doing.

But I've turned over
every stone.

Niger's a tragedy.

Nothing more.

And Lieutenant Shepherd...

needs to have someone
to blame other than himself.

We can't afford
to lose you over this.

- With all due respect, sir...

we can't afford to lose
any more lies over this.

- You think he's serious
about selling the company?

- Your grandfather's ego
is large and in charge,

and when that happens,

people make
all kind of mistakes.

Forgive me for saying,

especially men.

Now, does he still have
access to financial records,

client lists, pending deals,
and partnerships?

- Technically, no, but...

I let him take home some
of that stuff a few days ago.

He said he wanted to find a pet
project to occupy his time.

Daddy.

So he's already
preparing to have a fight...

should it come to that.

- Should I step down?
- No, son.

- I'd sooner do that
than have him sell the company.

If he does, it'll be my fault.

- That's not true.
- Yes, it is.

- No.
- Mom, please.

Don't try to tell me I'm wrong.

He'll have sold
because of what I said and did.

And that will be my legacy.

- Look, Eric.

The only way I can stop this...

is by making things
more uncomfortable.

Not less.

Are you okay with that?

- Are you?

- Well, that's why we started
making liquor

in the first place.

- I requested
Virginia and Aaron's

initial reports from the DOD.

- What else?

- Well, if they refuse
to turn them over,

we'll petition Judge Taggart
and force their hand.

- No, what else?
- Like what?

- Like seeing
if we can get her protection

under whistleblower statute.

Call in a favor
from Senator Hopkins.

She's risking everything here,
Sydney.

You do know that, right?

- Yeah.

She wasn't just a fling.

She wasn't, was she?
What was she?

- This is the past, Sydney.

Why do we need
to continually dredge this up?

- You think that I don't
want to put this behind me?

The past just walked
through our front door, Dad.

- I was working nonstop.

She was part of a case.

Part of a world.

It made things easy.

It created
an intimacy between us.

- Did you love her?

Were you gonna leave Mom
for her?

- It never went that far.

- Because Virginia left before

you could even think about it.

.

- Telling this judge
in chambers

is as good as doing
a deposition?

- Better.
With a court reporter there,

it becomes a matter
of public record,

so if they try to silence you,

the truth will come out.

- Your Honor, uh, thank you
for seeing us

on such short notice.

- You were the last to arrive.

- The last?
Your Honor, what do you...

- Well, this is an impressive
array of brass, Abe.

What's going on?

- I just met
with general counsel

for the Department of Defense.

They petitioned
and I have agreed

to invoke
state secrets privilege.

I'm dismissing your lawsuit
without prejudice.

- How is our civil litigation

against an independent client
a risk to national security?

- We're not at liberty
to disclose that information.

- How do we fight a dismissal
if we don't know why

the suit is being thrown out?

- You don't fight it,
Ms. Strait.

You are to cease
all depositions

regarding
military actions abroad.

- Your Honor, I assure you,
I have no intention

of undermining
national security.

- Your intention
is not in question.

Your actions are.

The case is over, General.

That's my order.

- What just happened in there?

- Well, legally,

it's like they wiped the whole
case out like it never existed.

- So that's it.

Any chance of stopping
the rollout is gone.

- It's a total overreaction,

which makes me think
they are hiding something.

- We need to look into the
whole chain of command here,

from Shepherd
all the way to Ardmore.

Ardmore's superiors, even.

- Yeah.
- All right?

I know this all seems bleak,
Virginia,

but winning cases like this
is what we do best.

Okay?

- Hey!

Hi.

- I was just dropping some
stuff off for Jake and Briana.

What's up, Syd?

- This case, it's, uh...

- I heard.

- Just watching them,
it's like...

it's like he was comforting his
mistress right in front of me.

- I get it.

- And you know
what the worst part is?

The worst part is that...

I'm the one who carries it.

I'm the one
with intimacy issues.

I'm the one who everyone
thinks overreacts.

I mean, even now, look at me.

I'm storming off,
and he gets to be perfect.

He looks wise
and noble and perfect.

- I know, I know.

Hey, hey.

I should probably... take off.

- Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

- You gonna be okay?

- Yeah.

Thank you, Robbie.

- All right.

- We create a fake profile,
and upload the DNA to the site,

then we wait to see
if there are connections

with anyone else
in their database.

- The killer
would have to use the website.

- Not necessarily.
It identifies relatives too.

- Okay.
That's good.

- Tempted to try it yourself?

- No, I know
who I'm related to.

It's nobody special.

- Hmm.

You hardly ever talk about
your parents or your past.

- Well, neither do you.

- Well, everyone in town

knows my dad and my family,
so I don't need to.

What's your excuse?

- I don't go much in for...

for sad stories.

- Find a way
to challenge the entire

Department of Defense yet?

- Nope.

- Okay, let's get to it.
Give me a hand.

- If you own more
than 5% of a company,

you're legally required
to disclose your stock?

- Mm-hmm.
- Look who owns 7% of Nomadis.

- You're kidding.

- Nope.

- Daddy?

Daddy?

Hi, Jermaine.
- Ms. Della.

- Well, if you decided to ever
do a small-batch bourbon,

I think we found our mascot.

- Hi, darling.

I wasn't expecting you
again so soon.

Here to play
on my heart strings?

- Well, once upon a time,

facing your disapproval,
I would've retreated,

licked my wounds,
and built myself back up.

But I am all grown up.

- Oh, come on, Daddy.

Let's work this out.

What is it going to take
to make you feel comfortable

handing over the reins...

not just the title?

- You want to know
what it would take?

- Mm-hmm.

- I want to go back 30 years.

I want my daughter to tell me,

"Daddy, I've been a fool.

"You spent your whole lifetime

"building me a gift,
and I accept it.

"I will work beside you,
and study at your feet,

"and you can retire happy

knowing that I will
carry on your legacy."

Divorced.

Lesbian.

That, I could live with.

We've had queers
in the family before.

But lawyer?

- When I was a girl,

you told me that I could do
anything I wanted to do,

be anybody I wanted to be.

You sent me to law school.

You gave me that gift.

- I sent you so you could be
an asset to the family.

- You opened up the world
to me, Daddy.

- Worst mistake of my life.

Worst decision of yours.

- So there's nothing
that I can do or say

that will change your mind?

Eric is a good boy...

and he is doing a good job.

And I can't let you take out

your disappointment in me
on him

or the company that you built.

You may think
I'm a terrible daughter,

but I am an excellent lawyer.

You move to sell the business,

I will stage
a competency hearing.

I will argue that you are unfit

to make critical
business decisions.

I will paint a portrait
of your "colorful" practices.

I'm talking about
contributions to cops

to make drunk
and disorderlies disappear.

I'm talking about paying
off union heads.

I'm talking about
two sets of books...

for too many years.

Stuff that doesn't exactly read

"charming southern gentleman"
on paper.

- That's why
it should've been you.

Eric doesn't have
what you and I do, darling.

Steel for a spine.

If he did,
he would've been able

to stand up for his mother
on her big night.

I'll have my lawyer
draw up paperwork

transferring majority stake
of the company.

I'll also be revising my will.

You'll get nothing.

You are disowned.

- And you...

Are loved.

- Virginia isn't the only one
who feared the GPS was flawed.

- All this time trying to get
Virginia on the record.

It turns out we're looking
at the wrong general.

.

- Elijah, we go back
a long way.

Are you really putting me
in a position like this?

- Respectfully, Your Honor...

we are not putting
you in any bad position.

We're getting you out of it.

They are the ones
that put you there

when they had you
dismiss our case

without disclosing
General Ardmore's

7% ownership stake
in the very company

whose product
is in question here.

- There is nothing illegal
about that.

- Your Honor,
Mr. Strait has insulted

a highly decorated officer.

He has questioned
your own sound judgment.

Please do not entertain
this last-ditch appeal.

- If I ask a single question

that has to do with national
security, shut me down.

Even if it looks like
I'm going to ask one,

shut me down.

But if a few personal questions
are all that it takes

to show that Nomadis's
technology is flawed,

do you really not want me
to ask them?

General Howe assures us that
the military values its people.

Is she mistaken?

- If the questions
are limited...

I suppose there's no harm

in continuing
with the line of questioning.

- Fine.

This is a terrible precedent
you're setting.

But fine.

- General, is it true that
you're a major shareholder

in Nomadis Industries?

- I'm a shareholder.

I wouldn't say major.

And it's completely legal.

- You're correct.
It is.

It's not illegal
for a government official

to have stock
in a defense contractor,

so long as they disclose
the investment.

- Which I did.

- Well, technically,
your shell company

disclosed its investment.

We actually had to do
quite a bit of digging

to discover that you own
Miliserve Consulting.

It's probably because
it's not a great look

for someone in your position.

You know, an obvious
conflict of interest.

General, I have here
financial statements

showing that
on several occasions

Your Honor

that on several occasions,

you actually
sold your stock abruptly,

only to purchase again later.

Can you tell us
why you did that?

- I wouldn't know.
My broker

- Can and will be subpoenaed
to testify.

Don't worry.

Did you know that on two

of the dates
you sold your shares,

they correspond with the day
after Lieutenant Shepherd

had his accident,
and the Niger operation?

- Your Honor.

If I may, that's classified.

It's a matter
of national security,

as I feared.

- Sit down.

Counselor?

- I have no objection
to this question,

Your Honor.

- If we were to look
into the two other dates

that you sold your shares,

would we find two other
unfortunate instances

of this malfunction,
maybe ones that you buried?

- I take exception to
your accusations, young lady.

And I suggest you do your job
before you lose it.

- You sold your shares,
and as soon as you were sure

that you had
covered up the defect,

you bought back in.

What were you gonna
do after the big rollout?

Short the shares?

- I refuse to sit here and let
her attack me like this!

- Your Honor.

I request a brief meeting
in chambers...

without General Ardmore.

- So just sign
on the dotted line,

and the contract
will be fully executed,

and you will be a majority
stakeholder in Bedford Bourbon.

- Did you know he would
write you out of his will?

- I hoped he wouldn't, but...

I suspected it.

But you're my son.

You need to lead
this family now.

He thinks I was protecting you,
and I was.

But I was also protecting him.

- You think
he'll figure that out?

- Maybe.

In time.

- You know, I...

really am proud
of the woman you are.

You know that, right?

- Even if I do,

it doesn't make it
any less sweet to hear it.

Okay.

- I'm sorry, Mom.

- I just spoke
with the Secretary of Defense.

As of now, the DOD is recalling
the Nomadis GPS from the field,

and suspending
any further rollout

until such time as the fault
is identified and fixed.

- General Ardmore
has been placed on leave,

pending an investigation
into his actions.

- On behalf
of the Department of Defense,

and by extension,
the United States Armed Forces,

I'd like to thank General Howe

for bringing her concerns
to our attention.

- If you're willing, Aaron,
we'd like to discuss

the possibility
of consolidating your case

with any future legal action

the DOD pursues
against Nomadis.

- We'll get you justice,
Lieutenant.

Clear your good name.

- I'd like that.

- Well done, soldier.

- Sydney.

- Yeah.

- I wanted to thank you.

- I was just...

doing my job.

- I feel like...

I owe you an apology.

- No.

I don't think
you should apologize.

Women are too hard
on each other as it is.

- Fair enough.

I was, um, sorry to hear
about your mother.

I...

I wanted to say so, but...

I wasn't sure if you...

- Thank you.

You know,
this would've been a lot easier

if you were just some
drunken backseat fling.

- Tell me about it.

- I'm feeling like we didn't
have time for a visit.

- I think in our situation,

hoping for something
as casual as a visit

might've been optimistic.

- Where to next?

- I'm afraid that's classified.

That was a joke.

Somalia.

- I've been thinking
about what you said.

About why you didn't tell me.

I don't think I'm ever
gonna be able to say that...

you did the right thing,

but I do understand
your choice.

I understand your intentions,
and...

We have a beautiful son,

that you raised
into a great young man.

- Take care, Elijah.

And...

Take care of Emerson.

- Yeah.

Uh, maybe stay in touch?

Since the ice is broken?

- If I don't, it's...

Just because...

leaving you was the hardest
thing I ever did.

- Not gonna be able
to see the river soon.

You know, I have so many...

memories from this place
when I was a kid.

They're so vivid.

Like...

playing hide and seek
with Della,

counting all the books
in your office.

I used to rifle
through your desk drawers

and find the simplest thing,
like a paper clip,

and just think, wow,

this belongs to my dad.

I wonder what he does with it.

Probably something
amazing and important.

They're fading.

Those memories, they are...

fading.

- You never met
your grandfather.

Biggest man on earth to me.

He ran our family
with presence and dignity.

He was a machinist.

One day, I snuck out
from school to go see him.

And I turn the corner...

saw someone yelling at him,
some superior.

And I froze.

And then he looked at me,

and his face was so red.

His eyes were...

He never spoke of it.

And I wanted so badly to never
have gone there that day.

- But you did.

- Why the mad rush, Reilly?

- Because Briana's a genius.

There were hits
on the ancestry database.

Familial relations.

Some distant cousins
in a cluster in Florida.

One in Austin.

- Wait, wait, wait,
you're not gonna tell me

you nailed the guy.

- Direct relative right here.

In Memphis.

An aunt.
His aunt.
