How does it look? Fetching?

Mmm. I love that word.

Fetching. Pretty badass, too, huh?

Now, I know you're thinking it's
a little O.T.T. for the office.

[CHUCKLES]

It's just one of 16 creations by me,
Sadie Williams,

and my Define Yourself line
of makeup and beauty must-haves.

So, thanks for the listen, ladies.

Thanks for the look.

TECHNICIAN: We're good.

Thanks, guys.

Um, I'm gonna need you to get
that to me as soon as possible

so I can have a chance to review it

before it goes up
on the website and on my Insta.

Yeah, by the end of the day.

- Got it.
- Come with me.

SADIE: Dad.

- Hey. Excuse me.
- GERALD: Hey!

Ah.

[CHUCKLES] Everybody's here.

They're all waiting
in the conference room.

So the, uh, financials
are in the envelope,

the creative and operational
proposals are in the binder.

Now, if you agree to accept our proposal

and allow Raybury Cosmetics

to acquire Define Yourself by Sadie,

our first order of business
will be to globalize the brand,

to find and groom Sadies
in different countries.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What are you talking about?

Uh, I'm Sadie.

There's no one to find, no one to groom.

I'm happy to go wherever
you need me to go,

happy to do whatever you need me to do.

Sadie, we understand
that you built this brand.

We understand how personal
it all is for you,

uh, how intimate the connection is

between you and your audience,
your videos,

your unique approach
to product development.

But our company

operates in 150 countries
and territories.

We decided to start our initial push

in the Asia-Pacific region, because...

Because it's 36% of the cosmetic
global market share.

- I have no issue with that.
- We'd start by

getting toeholds in Japan,
China, South Korea,

then expand south
to Singapore and westward

- into the Indian market.
- Terrific.

It means that I can be
in each country as it launches.

Uh, work with the local teams, uh,

get a sense of the culture and figure out

the best messaging for my videos.

A-Again... [CHUCKLES]

The thinking here is that each
market will have its own Sadie.

Think about it, an Asian Sadie in Asia.

W-We're selling beauty
and skincare products.

Sadie kind of needs to look like
the people she's selling to.

Wouldn't you agree?

GERALD: What they're trying to tell you

is you've built a brilliant brand.

But you've also

built a brilliant business model

and a brilliant marketing model.

They want to take that model

and replicate it all around the world.

And pay you very handsomely for it.

I need the room back for a few minutes.

How could you?

That deal is worth
over $100 million to you.

It's all the money
you'll ever need, Sadie.

You're acting like someone's
stabbing you through the heart.

You are.

This is my company.

I started it in our garage when I was 16.

I can't just hand it over

to some corporate monolith
so they can try and clone

an ethnically-preferred version of me

for every country on the planet.

You're starting to swing.

Even this reaction
you're having right now,

I see you starting to swing.

Dad, I am upset.

I am allowed to be upset.

Let's get them back in here.

Make them see that they need my input.

But, Sadie, they don't need your input.

And they don't want it.

Giving you that kind of power is a risk,

and no global conglomerate
is going to take that risk.

Not with your history,
not... with your challenges.

But it's my company.

But according to the court,
it's my decision.

And I've made up my mind.

Anna, hey, it's Dad.

Got your message.
Dinner, tomorrow, I'm on it.

I'm bringing gifts.
Don't try and stop me.

[CHUCKLES]: Bye.

And who is this again?

You've honestly never heard
of Sadie Williams?

Honestly, I've never heard
of Sadie Williams.

Wow, even I know who Sadie Williams is.

MARISSA: Okay, here are the Cliffs Notes.

Starting as a teenager, Sadie
Williams began posting videos,

mostly makeup videos.

How to put it on,
then how to make your own.

Then she started manufacturing it.

I think she's, like, 18 at that point?

She's getting millions of views.

DANNY: My sense is it's always been about

more than makeup.

When Sadie started
experimenting with her looks,

not many people were
marketing beauty products

to black and brown girls.

She was a teenager.

Just like the people
that she was talking to.

BULL: Got it.

So, what are we looking at here?

Just as she was exploding,

just when she had
finally gotten on everyone's...

almost everyone's radar...

she had...
what I guess you'd call a meltdown.

Unfortunately, she had it while

she was making one of her videos.

Even more unfortunately, is
someone got ahold of that video

that never should've
seen the light of day

and they posted it, uh, leaked it.

Sounds like something I ought
to see before she gets here.

Will you do the honors?

Ladies, today, we are going
to be talking about underto...

[LAUGHS]

That says "undertoes."

It's supposed to say "undertones."

I... I guess I have to write

the-the damn cue cards myself, too?

Turn the card. Thank you.

Your foundation color needs
to be the same

as your skin's underto...

[SIGHS]

MAN: I'll fix that.

You'll fix that. Great.

And today,

we're going to show you
how to test your skin,

your skin's complexion,

so you can figure out which of
those three undertones you have.

What? What?

What is going on?!

Are you kidding me?

You guys are idiots!

- [EXCITED CHATTER]
- I hate this place!

I hate this life!

- Get away from me!
- [KEYBOARD CLICKS]

And this is something everyone has seen.

I need help with something,
something I probably

should've done a year or two ago.

We're all ears.

I was involved in an incident
several years ago.

Uh, there is a tape.

I'm guessing you've all seen it.

Right. [EXHALES]

Turns out, I was diagnosed
with bipolar 1 disorder.

Uh, the tape, the incident
that was caught on tape,

was the culmination of it.

Okay.

And did you seek treatment?

Oh, yes. Yes, I was, I was committed.

Hospitalized.

I couldn't take care of myself,
couldn't work.

Luckily, my father stepped in.

He petitioned the court,
and he got guardianship.

And what kind of conservator ship
are we talking about?

Personal, professional, medical?

All of the above.

But it's been three years,

and you're ready to end the guardianship.

Yes. I am on medication, I am in therapy,

I've been stable for almost
two years at this point.

But now, he wants to sell the company...

sell my company.

I just can't let him do it.

So you need to go to court
and end the guardianship.

Got it.

But why us? Why TAC?

The main focus of our practice is juries.

Guardianship cases
are typically handled by judges.

Yes. Judges with special
mental health training.

And who would know more
about what a mental health judge

is looking for than
a former forensic psychologist

and someone with three PhDs?

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Sorry to interrupt.
Gerald Williams is in the lobby.

Ms. Williams' father.

Should I let him up?

Well, that depends.
Would you like him to join us?

I didn't even tell him
I was coming here. He...

He tracks my phone.

I don't want there to be a scene.

I'm-I'm gonna go downstairs.

[SIGHS]

Sorry.

Wait a second.

You want to go to court

and assert that you're prepared
to run your own life?

You need to start doing it.

He already knows where you are,

and he's probably got a pretty
good idea of why you're here.

Sit down. Let's get to work.

Synced & corrected by -robtor-
www.addic7ed.com

The reason I called
this pretrial conference is,

I'm trying to come
to some sort of resolution

with this guardianship situation.

As both sides know,

Sadie Williams has petitioned this court

for relief from said guardianship.

Ms. Williams, I've read your
petition and can sympathize

with your desire to be
fully independent again.

But I do feel it is my duty to...

caution you

that two years

is not such a very long time
to be mentally stable

in the grand scheme of things.

Thank you, Your Honor,

but I do feel very confident

that I am ready to take back
control over my business

and control over my life.

I'm sure you do.

But the decompensation rates
for individuals

with bipolar 1 disorder
are extremely high,

as are the attendant suicide rates.

I cannot tell you how many
people have come before me

and promised they would continue
to take their medication,

only to wind up back in the hospital,

back in the courtroom, or worse.

BULL: Your Honor.
May we take a short break

and confer with our client?

This judge is not gonna be our friend.

Yeah, I heard.

He doesn't think I'm ready.

Well, he just told us
how he granted independence

in the past, only to have it come
back and bite him in the butt.

- I want to request a jury trial.
- Wh...

A jury trial? In a guardianship
case? Is that even allowed?

BULL: Well, you don't see it
done very often, but, yeah,

- it's allowed.
- Huh.

New York Mental Hygiene Law
guarantees Sadie the right

to trial by jury if she requests one.

My feeling is she should request one.

That judge was thoroughly ticked.

[CHUCKLES] My father certainly
didn't look too pleased either.

[REPORTERS CLAMORING]

Easy. Don't let this throw you, okay?

[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]

Excuse us.

[CLAMORING CONTINUES]

Well, that was very impressive.
You handled that like a pro.

- I am a pro.
- Good,

because now that we've seated a jury,

public perception is gonna
become even more important.

Benny's right. No matter where you are...

work, home, on the street...

just assume you're
being watched and judged.

Truthfully, I already do.

There's my scholarship girl.

My Pulitzer Prize-
winning journalist-to-be.

Pride and joy. [CHUCKLES]

Dad.

Are those for me?

Why? You need suitcases?

Are you going somewhere special?

- [LAUGHS]
- Oh, man.

Don't make this harder
than it already is.

Hard? I'm bursting with pride.

My little girl gets chosen
out of 1,500 students

for a journalism scholarship
to Jordan? Please.

- Keep the hard stuff coming.
- Dad.

I just...

Um...

I don't really feel like
eating any dinner.

Is there any way we could just walk?

True story.

A week before I left home,

left your mother and went to college,

I couldn't eat. I couldn't do anything.

I couldn't sleep, I couldn't think.

I was just terrified. I...

Felt like I was diving headfirst
into this giant unknown future

and I...

I couldn't talk to my parents about it.

I-I-I didn't have anyone
to talk to about it.

No one I knew had ever
been to college before.

[SIGHS]

But the difference is...

is that you got me.

Look, I-I-I know

I-I wasn't there for you for so long,

and I didn't step up and behave
like a parent, like a father,

but now, I'm-I'm here.

Now I'm ready. Whatever you need.

So, look, I get it,
you're feeling pressure,

and how could you not? It's a huge honor

and a huge responsibility, but...

when you go over there,
you're not going alone.

I'm here. You got me.

And I'm so damn proud of you.

[CRYING]: I'm pregnant, Dad.

♪

Shh...

[PHONE VIBRATING]

Hello?

Oh, Marissa, hold... Slow down. What?

Who assaulted a photographer?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

GERALD: It's okay, Dr. Bull.
I've already paid her bail.

BULL: Ah, Mr. Williams.

Ms. Baker.

What do we know?

We know she's being charged with assault.

We know it's gonna be in all
the papers in the morning.

Apparently, she struck a paparazzo.

And what's her side of the story?

What difference does it make?

She's obviously not well.

People who are in control
of their mental faculties

don't go around assaulting strangers.

Well, let's reserve judgment
until we have all the facts.

- Shall we?
- I am not the enemy, sir.

I'm not the villain. I am the father.

[ALARM BUZZES, DOOR UNLOCKS]

Ah.

Dr. Bull.

Dad.

[EXHALES]

I'm sorry I worried you.

I'm sorry I worried all of you.

It's okay, honey.

But can we just put an end to this thing?

Tonight's adventure's gonna be
all over the news in the morning.

If Raybury Cosmetics is still interested

in buying us out, let's just do it.

Let's just close while we can.

Really?

That’s the first thing you say to me?

You don't want to know
if I'm okay? You...

You don't even want to hear
what happened?

- I know what happened.
- [SCOFFS]

I just bailed you out of jail.

Now how about we go home
and get you to bed.

Actually...

I'm not ready for bed, Dad.

I want to talk
about what happened last night

with my legal counsel.

But thank you for posting my bail.

Sadie...

I'm not asking you to come home.

I'm telling you.

Mr. Williams, she's a grown woman.

No one is talking to you.

Mr. Williams, don't force my hand.

Hey, I'm not forcing anything.

I'm just taking my daughter home.

We are in a city jail,

and there are police everywhere you look.

Unhand your daughter,
or I'll have you arrested.

On what grounds?

On the grounds that she's an adult,

and she doesn't want to go with you,

and that means it's kidnapping.

Dr. Bull, you know damn well

I have a guardianship
that allows me to make...

I understand that, but by the
time the police figure it out,

you'll be in your second news cycle,

and whatever's left
of this Raybury Cosmetics deal

will have completely evaporated.

First thing in the morning,
I'm going to court.

Judge is gonna hear about this.

Right after he hears
about how you keep interfering

with my ability to confer with my client.

And then I am gonna be forced

to ask for interim relief
from your guardianship

for the remainder of the trial.

Can he do that?

You bet I can do that.

So why don't you let me
give Sadie a ride home

so we can talk.

I promise I'll get her home safely.

He loves me, you know.

BULL: I don't doubt that.

You want to tell me
what happened tonight?

Not that anyone's gonna
believe me, but...

the whole thing was a setup.

After court,

I went to my guardian-approved
monthly dinner

with my friend from high school.

We always go to the same spot,

this little neighborhood place.

But someone must have
tipped off the press,

because the moment we walked out,

the moment we stepped
out of the restaurant,

I was surrounded.

You seem to navigate the paps
at the courthouse just fine.

Why was this any different?

This one guy, he just...

He kept shoving his
camera right in my face.

Like, literally. I mean, he hit me twice.

And so I-I reached up my hand

to brush the camera out of the way,

and before I even made
contact, he's on the ground,

moaning, screaming,
saying that I hit him.

[SIGHS] And then, of course, the
rest of them are snapping away,

and one of them is calling the police.

Do you think our jury knows?

I think our jury is asleep.

But I'm sure when they wake up,

somebody will show them the pictures.

Somebody will tell them the news.

- [GAVEL BANGS]
- TONYA: Dr. Matthews,

you are Sadie Williams' psychiatrist?

I am.

And how long has that been the case?

I began treating Sadie when she was

involuntarily committed
to a psychiatric facility

where I'm on staff.

And what was your initial impression?

That she was gravely ill.

In fact, when Sadie came to the hospital,

her mania was so severe as
to have psychotic features.

She was hallucinating.

She actually thought
my staff was trying to kill her.

And after her initial hospitalization,

how did your treatment
of Ms. Williams progress?

Slowly.

She was extremely non compliant at first.

She refused to take
any medications whatsoever

until Mr. Williams

secured his guardianship
and was able to force the issue.

Uh, after that,

it took about a year for us to find

the satisfactory balance of medications

to manage her condition.

And would you say that
Ms. Williams is stable today?

I would say that her moods
are much more consistent,

but medications can lose
their efficacy over time.

I believe that vigilance
and constant monitoring,

like that provided by Mr. Williams,

are essential
for Sadie's continued progress.

Thank you, Doctor. No further questions.

BENNY: Good morning, Dr. Matthews.

Now, you said
that when you first met Sadie,

that she was a non compliant patient.

But isn't it possible

that her initial noncompliance

had less to do with a character trait

and was more likely the result

of the imbalanced brain chemistry caused

by her then-undiagnosed illness?

Yes. Th-That's possible, yes.

After her initial resistance,

how would you describe Sadie
as a patient?

Has she been open to
your treatment recommendations?

Committed to her recovery?

I would have to say that she has been.

But that doesn't mean
we shouldn't be vigilant.

Ah, yes. Vigilance.

You mentioned that earlier.

Uh, but answer this for me, Dr. Matthews.

If you really believe
that Sadie's recovery

is uncertain enough
to warrant constant monitoring,

why do you see her
only once every three months?

[CHUCKLES]: Well,

that's well within
the professional standard.

Yes, it is.

For patients who are stable
and don't need strict oversight.

It kind of seems like

the way you choose to deal
with Ms. Williams

completely flies in the face

of your testimony here today.

Objection. Despite
the counsel's clever framing,

that wasn't really a question.

My apologies, Your Honor.
Let me put it this way.

Dr. Matthews, how much
is Mr. Williams paying you

for your testimony here today?

[SCOFFS SOFTLY]

The witness will answer the question.

Oh, that's all right, Your Honor.

I think she already did.

Clearly more than enough.

- [GALLERY MURMURING]
- No further questions.

TONYA: Ms. Anders,

when did you become the
chief operating officer

of Define Yourself by Sadie cosmetics?

Mr. Williams originally hired me

three years ago to help
him get the business

in order while his daughter
was being hospitalized.

And how would you describe the
business when you first started it?

It was in quite a bit of disarray.

Not completely surprising,

given the demons
that Sadie was wrestling with.

TONYA: And when you say "disarray,"
can you be more specific?

GINA: To be honest,

the company was hemorrhaging money.

Apparently, Sadie had spent
millions on real estate

that had no practical corporate purpose.

And as I recall,
there were five-figure line items

for designer suits

that she wanted to be worn
as custodial uniforms.

I mean, there's
just no other way to say it.

It was clear from the books
that the person

making the fiscal decisions
was not thinking rationally.

Objection, Your Honor.

Ms. Anders is not qualified
to make that kind of assessment.

Sustained. The witness will
refrain from editorializing.

Of course. Sorry.

And how's the company doing now?

Better.

In the case of some of
Sadie's more reckless decisions,

there was nothing to be done.

But Gerald and I have applied ourselves.

And I think, by any measure,

we've really turned the business around.

And do you believe
the business would suffer

if Ms. Williams were to take
the helm unsupervised?

I like Sadie.

I think she's quite extraordinary.

But if past is prologue,

she really has no business
running a business.

I'm sorry.

TONYA: Thank you, Ms. Anders.

No further questions.

[QUIETLY]: She is the last one
in and the first one out.

She and I haven't spoken
for more than 20 minutes

in the two years since I've been back.

Apparently, she's very fond of you.

Ms. Anders, thank you
for being here today.

Simple question to start.

Do you stand to profit

if Gerald Williams retains
his guardianship and sells

Define Yourself by Sadie
to Raybury Cosmetics?

Yes.

- [GALLERY MURMURING]
- When I was hired,

I was given shares in the company.

If it sells, I do stand to benefit.

Whereas Ms. Williams,

Sadie... despite all your
stated affection for her...

made it very clear to you
that she was not a fan

of your work, hasn't she?

We haven't always seen eye to eye.

No, you haven't.

So, on one hand,

you stand to make a lot of money

if this guardianship stays in place.

And, on the other,
you are likely out of a job if it ends.

[EXHALES]

Why should this jury believe
anything you have to say?

That's okay.

Forget I asked.

No further questions, Your Honor.

I knew you both weren't coming
back to the office,

and I thought you'd want to see this.

What are we looking at here?

Ledger entries?

TAYLOR: Yep. After that COO testified

that decisions Sadie made
prior to her diagnosis

were still costing the company money,

I used a password Sadie had given me

to take a long look at the books.

And while I wasn't able to find
any evidence

that Sadie's breakdown is still
costing the company anything,

I did... find... these.

And for those of us who don't read
or write forensic accounting...

The highlighted portions
are wire transfers.

Half a million dollars made
every three months for the last

three years.

- Okay...
- It took some doing,

but I was finally able to track
where it was

the money was being sent to.

The routing number is for
a personal money market account.

An account in Sadie's father's name.

You're telling me Sadie's father
has been moving money

from Sadie's company
to his own personal account?

To the tune of $6 million.

[WHISTLES]

Mr. Williams, why did you
initially petition the court

for a guardianship
over your grown daughter?

I love my daughter.

I always have.

She accomplished so much
at such a young age.

But then, a few years ago,

it was like she stopped being herself.

Like some other person

had crawled inside her and taken over.

I mean,

we always talked all the time.

But then, suddenly,

there'd be periods where I
wouldn't hear from her for days.

Weeks, at one point.

Then I couldn't get her to stop calling.

12 times in one hour.

All about nonsense.

How she could hear the Internet,

hear her microwave.

Next thing I know,

she's talking about buying this
very expensive building in SoHo.

Makes no sense to me.
Makes no sense to the bankers.

It's not a residential building.

And it's not like we needed any
additional manufacturing space.

So I asked her.

Tell me about this building.

And she tells me she had this brainstorm.

She's going to start a new line.

A whole new business.

She's going to make invisible clothing.

[GALLERY MURMURING]

We're down to a single green juror, Bull.

Then, once my daughter had
her now-famous breakdown...

throwing things at people,
all of it captured by a camera...

the court didn't hesitate.

She was clearly a danger
to herself and others.

I did what any father would do.

Thank you, Mr. Williams.

You're sure you want to do this?

Yeah.

BENNY: Thank you for
your emotional testimony,

Mr. Williams.

But if you don't mind,

I'd like to switch gears

and discuss the more practical
side of your guardianship.

Absolutely.

Okay. Now... [CLEARS THROAT]

Take a look at these financial records

from the corporate account
of Define Yourself by Sadie.

Of course.

Now, these... highlighted transfers here,

they show corporate money
being transferred

into a private account.

Now, that...

account is registered to you,

isn't it, Mr. Williams?

And by that,
I mean it is a personal account,

isn't it?

It is. Yes.

So what are we to make of this?

According to these records,

over a period of three years,

while the company was entrusted
to your guardianship,

$6 million made its way from
the corporation's bank account

to yours.

A personal money market account.

You embezzle that money, sir?

[GALLERY MURMURING]

TONYA: Your Honor,
I'd like to request a recess

- to confer with my client.
- Fine.

This court will take a ten-minute recess.

[GAVEL BANGS]

Would you and your team mind joining us

in the conference room, please?

BENNY: So you're not
denying you took the money?

No.

I took it.

But I did it for my daughter.

What are you talking about, Dad?

The night you were hospitalized.

You do remember throwing things,
don't you?

[QUIETLY]: Yeah.

Well, you hit your cameraman.

Hit him in the face.

In the eye.

Directly.

Hard enough to cause something
called a globe rupture.

An ophthalmologist
performed surgery on him.

Managed to close the rupture,

control the internal bleeding,

save the eye. But he...

just couldn't restore the man's vision.

Oh, my God.

So, the money...

are you telling us it went
to pay this man's medical bills?

That. [EXHALES]

And for his silence.

I told him how terribly sorry I was

and how we wanted to do right by him.

He was a cameraman.

We'd taken his vision.

[CRIES]

I just didn't want lawyers
and insurance companies or...

God forbid, a trial.

Do not make me go back in there
and make this tragedy a matter

of public record.

If you do,
what kind of future will she have?

[QUIET CHATTER]

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

So?

So, she confirmed it.

It's for real.

I'm about seven weeks along,

which is what I figured.

Okay.

Well, we're gonna... we're gon...
we're gonna figure this out.

Um, do-do you like her?

I mean, is she someone
you can imagine yourself

seeing again? The doctor?

Yeah, yeah.

Um, I think she's kind of perfect.

Good.

Okay. So, um,
let's figure out next steps.

Did you schedule a follow-up appointment?

- Yeah.
- Good.

Okay, uh, well, now the hard part.

We, uh...

we got to call your mother.

I'm guessing you
haven't talked to her yet, huh?

I can't do that.

Not yet.

Okay. All right.
Well, we'll circle back on that.

[EXHALES] Can I ask about the boy?

Forget about the boy.

I have.

[SNIFFLES]

Okay.

So, um, I guess the next thing

that we got to talk about is school.

For now, you should be okay,

but I guess we need to tell
them about Jordan, right?

Talk to them about what?

Well, obviously, you're not going,

not now.

Look, do the math.

Right? Look, you're-you're
supposed to be there

in January, right?

And you'll be almost
four months pregnant then.

And then, you're not due
to come back until June.

And I'm not letting my daughter
give birth in the Middle East.

Dad.

I'm not giving birth anywhere.

No.

They do that there?

How can they do that and the other?

It doesn't make sense.

Anyway, it-it doesn't matter.
You're not doing that.

- We are not doing that.
- Why not?

Because it's-it's a...
it's a... it's a sin.

It's a mortal sin. What do you...?

Right. Because when was the last time
you went to church?

- How old were you... like, 15?
- That's beside the point.

Dad, I was selected
out of 1,500 students.

This is an opportunity of a lifetime.

The girl who did this last year?

She's working for the London Tribune now.

Well, I'm guessing that
she didn't get herself pregnant.

Look, if your mother and I had done

what you are contemplating doing,

y-you wouldn't even be here right now.

Well, I am here.

And I have a problem,
and I need your help.

You don't need my help,
'cause we're not gonna do this.

We aren't doing anything. I am.

And I need $400,

and I need someone to bring me
to this woman's office

and wait and then bring me home
and take care of me.

And I'm asking you.

You always talk about how sorry you are

that you were never there for me
growing up.

Well... you're here now.

And I need you.

But I can't do this.

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

I didn't even know his name.

Can you guys help me find his name?

The cameraman? I...

I'd like to reach out to him.

I'd like to try and...

BENNY: I can do that.

I can help you find a discreet way

to reach out
and try to make things right.

But in the meantime, we have
court at 9:00 in the morning,

and there are some choices to be made.

How do you mean?

Well, we can let Benny finish
cross-examining your father,

and then put you on the stand

and take our chances with the jury.

Of course, in that version,
the truth comes out.

My guess is, you'll become
the Internet's new punching bag,

your business will probably
be rendered worthless,

and that cameraman
whose name you don't know

will suddenly be thrust into a spotlight

he probably doesn't want.

And the other option is?

Well, you could... drop your
petition to end the guardianship.

[SCOFFS]

And let my father make
every important decision

for me for the rest of my life?

I don't know how to do that, Dr. Bull.

Especially not after today.

Well, let Mr. Colón
and I put our heads together,

see if we can't
come up with something, okay?

- Okay.
- See you tomorrow morning in court.

Tomorrow.

[SIGHS]

[CAR DOOR CLOSES]

Tell me you have a brilliant idea.

I have a brilliant idea.

Ooh, let's hear it.

I'm sorry. I...

I was just doing what I was told.

It's like I said when
we first got into this thing...

the situation does not belong
in a court of law.

This is the kind of thing
that gets solved by... [SIGHS]

Sitting down
and looking someone in the eye,

and forcing them to look you in the eye.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Actually, I think I do.

BULL: Thank you for coming.

Thank you for meeting me before court.

I came because my daughter's
not answering my calls.

I know yesterday must have been
difficult for her.

She's fine.

Overwhelmed...

but fine.

Angry, too.

You've never told her what happened.

She never got a chance to apologize,

make amends, grieve.

I know what I did,
and I know why I did it.

Deep down, Sadie knows, too.

She knows I love her.

Like I told you, I am not the villain.

All I want is to know

that my daughter is taken care of.

There's an opportunity to do that,

- and I don't want her to miss it.
- Fine.

But then what?

Your daughter... she's a tenacious woman.

And she'll be rich.

So what happens when she wants
to start another company?

You gonna stand in the
way of that one, too?

And the one after that,
and the one after that?

Now, look, the jury already
knows about the six million.

You come back into this courtroom,

and you tell them the
truth about what happened,

where all the money went, you might win.

But I doubt that the buyer is
gonna shell out for a company

whose figurehead comes
with all that baggage.

And then, well, so much
for financial security.

On the other hand, you keep your secret,

and then, Sadie will probably
walk away with the win,

but you will be seen as a criminal

who took advantage of
his daughter's illness.

I can tell you're trying
to convince me of something,

but I'll be damned if I know what it is.

I'm trying to convince you
to loosen your grip,

trust your daughter a little,

'cause I got a feeling,
if you're willing to do that,

I can get Sadie to meet you halfway.

JUDGE RAND: I understand the
parties have reached an agreement.

We have, Your Honor.

My client has agreed to
Mr. Williams' proposed sale

of her cosmetics company
with a few stipulations.

And in return, my client has agreed

to end his daughter's guardianship.

And this is acceptable to you both?

- It is, Your Honor.
- Yes, Your Honor.

Then I ask the attorneys to
put this agreement in writing,

and we shall conclude these proceedings.

[SIGHS]

MARISSA: Hi.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to frighten you.

[SIGHS]

Note for the future.

When you're trying
to not frighten someone,

put on some lights.

Are you drinking?

Have you been crying?

No to both.

Hmm. You texted me.

You... said you'd set
a new client meeting

for early tomorrow morning,

left a file on my desk.

There is no file on my desk.

I may have lied about that.

Okay.

I just wanted to see you,

to talk to you.

I need a name.

A family law attorney, maybe a woman.

I really have very little use
for men at the moment.

Present... company excepted, of course.

I'm so sorry.

Are you serving him, or did he serve you?

No, no. It's not for me.

Oh.

What a relief.

Why do people always leave?

All I've ever wanted in my life was...

someone to cleave to.

A mother.

A father.

A husband.

Marissa, life is not over.

I know. You're right.

Life is not over.

Every day's a new day. Mm-hmm.

Every day, you learn something new.

Mm. Yes.

Know what I learned today?

Please don't make me guess.

I like scotch.

[LAUGHS]

Well, then, you are in for a treat,

because I know a secret.

It's even better when someone else

pours it for you. Shh.

Preferably in a very dark environment

surrounded by complete strangers.

Mm-hmm.

Or failing that...

sitting with an old friend.

Would you like me
to give you a ride home?

Could we stop along the
way and test out that

"It's better when someone else
pours it for you" theory?

Absolutely.

And you can tell your friend

that I will have a name
for her tomorrow morning.

I may have lied about the friend.

Wow. You had me fooled.
