1
00:00:00,132 --> 00:00:02,132
Previously on Family Law...

2
00:00:04,114 --> 00:00:06,114
- She's awesome.
- Clara? Yeah.

3
00:00:06,232 --> 00:00:08,234
She seems nice, too,
but I meant Martina.

4
00:00:09,073 --> 00:00:12,029
First box of old case files complete.

5
00:00:12,054 --> 00:00:14,067
- You did all these on your own?
- Ya-huh.

6
00:00:14,185 --> 00:00:15,884
Picking up your game.

7
00:00:20,029 --> 00:00:22,473
- She's going on a date.
- No, she's not.

8
00:00:22,575 --> 00:00:24,710
- Are you still there?
- Jesus Christ.

9
00:00:24,777 --> 00:00:26,122
- What the hell's going on?
- She pre-drank

10
00:00:26,146 --> 00:00:28,585
a bunch of stuff from her
grandma's liquor cabinet.

11
00:00:28,610 --> 00:00:30,293
Doorman buzzed me about
a half an hour ago,

12
00:00:30,317 --> 00:00:33,117
said Nico walked through the night
from Deep Cove.

13
00:00:33,220 --> 00:00:34,964
I'm not letting my children
spend another minute here.

14
00:00:34,988 --> 00:00:37,209
- Your children?
- You don't get a say in this.

15
00:00:37,234 --> 00:00:39,646
You were a lousy mother and
you're a lousy grandmother!

16
00:00:39,671 --> 00:00:41,746
Frank! You need to
pull yourself together.

17
00:00:41,771 --> 00:00:44,105
And you get to say less than nothing!

18
00:00:44,130 --> 00:00:47,170
He wants a child custody
and access evaluation,

19
00:00:47,195 --> 00:00:50,245
which will recommend what sort
of parenting time you have...

20
00:00:50,793 --> 00:00:52,325
if any.

21
00:00:57,406 --> 00:00:59,164
How many sexual partners have I had?

22
00:00:59,189 --> 00:01:01,389
- Mm-hmm.
- Like, in my entire life?

23
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:04,872
Baker's dozen? Give or take.

24
00:01:05,468 --> 00:01:09,117
Have you ever performed any sex
acts that would be considered risky?

25
00:01:09,142 --> 00:01:10,375
Risky sex acts?

26
00:01:10,542 --> 00:01:13,343
- Like, what, on roller-skates?
- Abby.

27
00:01:13,368 --> 00:01:15,476
What does any of this have to do
with my ability to parent?

28
00:01:15,508 --> 00:01:18,429
A child custody evaluation
is a comprehensive psych assessment.

29
00:01:18,454 --> 00:01:20,922
That includes digging
into your dating history.

30
00:01:20,947 --> 00:01:22,547
I've been married to Frank for 15 years.

31
00:01:22,649 --> 00:01:23,649
What dating history?

32
00:01:23,683 --> 00:01:26,183
What about whether or not you
were faithful during the marriage?

33
00:01:26,633 --> 00:01:28,733
I hope they ask Frank that question.

34
00:01:28,835 --> 00:01:30,902
Should I bring up his infidelity?

35
00:01:30,927 --> 00:01:33,273
I suggest being child-focused
with your answers.

36
00:01:33,298 --> 00:01:36,163
- There's no reason to sling mud.
- But if Frank does it...

37
00:01:36,188 --> 00:01:37,710
Then it puts him in a bad light.

38
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:40,789
If I had just stayed in that night,

39
00:01:40,814 --> 00:01:42,547
none of this would be happening.

40
00:01:42,734 --> 00:01:44,366
It's not your fault, Mom.

41
00:01:44,679 --> 00:01:45,679
It's Frank's.

42
00:01:46,187 --> 00:01:47,875
And Sofia's 14.

43
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:49,898
She's old enough to
look after her brother.

44
00:01:50,273 --> 00:01:51,640
You didn't do anything wrong.

45
00:01:52,525 --> 00:01:55,390
And she's gonna talk
to Sofia and Nico too?

46
00:01:55,531 --> 00:01:57,317
Basically everyone in your life.

47
00:02:03,781 --> 00:02:06,270
What kind of questions
will she ask the kids?

48
00:02:06,295 --> 00:02:07,710
It depends.

49
00:02:08,015 --> 00:02:09,529
She might ask if they've witnessed

50
00:02:09,554 --> 00:02:11,620
one parent disparaging the other,

51
00:02:11,645 --> 00:02:15,180
or do they feel safe
in Mom or Dad's care?

52
00:02:15,390 --> 00:02:16,390
Abby.

53
00:02:16,415 --> 00:02:17,948
You're a great mom.

54
00:02:17,973 --> 00:02:19,539
You have nothing to worry about.

55
00:02:21,387 --> 00:02:23,244
Is that...

56
00:02:23,269 --> 00:02:26,136
Our brother making out
in a car like a teenager?

57
00:02:26,385 --> 00:02:27,517
Yup.

58
00:02:35,848 --> 00:02:37,682
- Hi, Clara.
- Good morning.

59
00:02:38,214 --> 00:02:39,613
I thought you ordered a Tesla.

60
00:02:39,638 --> 00:02:40,638
I cancelled it.

61
00:02:41,406 --> 00:02:42,973
Yannick talked me out of it.

62
00:02:42,998 --> 00:02:45,031
Since when do you take
advice from Yannick?

63
00:02:45,056 --> 00:02:46,655
Gotta admit, I'm impressed.

64
00:02:46,912 --> 00:02:48,578
Oh. Electrochromic glass.

65
00:02:48,603 --> 00:02:51,585
Bespoke air suspension. Biometric
stowage! In-car video surveillance.

66
00:02:51,610 --> 00:02:54,874
I was referring to her, but please,
keep talking to us about your car...

67
00:02:54,899 --> 00:02:56,099
People love that.

68
00:02:56,703 --> 00:02:59,250
Looks like things are
going well between you and Clara.

69
00:02:59,275 --> 00:03:00,842
Upping my age limit on Stellar Singles

70
00:03:00,867 --> 00:03:02,466
was the best decision of my life.

71
00:03:02,491 --> 00:03:04,828
Hear that, Lucy? He's
dating an older woman.

72
00:03:04,853 --> 00:03:06,765
Congratulations, Danny.

73
00:03:07,175 --> 00:03:09,042
How does it feel to be so evolved?

74
00:03:09,067 --> 00:03:10,465
Hilarious.

75
00:03:10,828 --> 00:03:12,802
Hurry up. We got a meeting in ten.

76
00:03:13,382 --> 00:03:16,305
The saddest thing? This is probably
one of the best days of his life.

77
00:03:16,408 --> 00:03:19,731
I need a caffeine fix.
I'll see you up there.

78
00:03:22,181 --> 00:03:23,312
Morning, Mr. Svensson.

79
00:03:23,337 --> 00:03:25,693
- Ms. Bianchi.
- Morning, Winston.

80
00:03:25,718 --> 00:03:28,907
Okay, someone's gotta say
it... That outfit is fire.

81
00:03:29,321 --> 00:03:31,021
Just trying something new.

82
00:03:32,609 --> 00:03:33,989
It's your client's son.

83
00:03:34,014 --> 00:03:36,215
She's waiting in the boardroom.

84
00:03:40,007 --> 00:03:42,487
- Hiya, Winston!
- Cecil.

85
00:03:42,823 --> 00:03:44,823
This came in for you.

86
00:03:46,132 --> 00:03:47,748
Got another
postcard from Nina.

87
00:03:47,773 --> 00:03:49,820
- Oh, where are they now?
- Bangkok.

88
00:03:49,845 --> 00:03:52,397
Eleanor and I took a
trip there for our 20th.

89
00:03:52,422 --> 00:03:54,522
Bryan got a street tattoo.

90
00:03:54,927 --> 00:03:56,460
Of a lion!

91
00:03:57,148 --> 00:03:59,445
- And it got infected.
- Oh. Figures.

92
00:04:00,382 --> 00:04:03,174
- Nina was our old receptionist.
- You've told me.

93
00:04:03,775 --> 00:04:06,314
- We kinda had a thing.
- No, you didn't.

94
00:04:08,657 --> 00:04:10,490
It was unspoken.

95
00:04:11,939 --> 00:04:13,395
So...

96
00:04:13,908 --> 00:04:15,430
what animal would you get tatt...

97
00:04:15,455 --> 00:04:17,375
Hello. Svensson and
Svensson. How may I help you?

98
00:04:18,132 --> 00:04:20,799
Uh... there's no line lit up.

99
00:04:21,712 --> 00:04:24,813
Yes. Yes, I do
have time to take a survey.

100
00:04:27,511 --> 00:04:30,011
My son's been accepted to a new school.

101
00:04:30,036 --> 00:04:32,424
It's for neurodiverse kids like Dion,

102
00:04:32,449 --> 00:04:35,983
but... Andre, my ex, won't let him go.

103
00:04:36,008 --> 00:04:37,424
- Why not?
- For starters,

104
00:04:37,449 --> 00:04:39,520
it's in Victoria.

105
00:04:39,545 --> 00:04:41,499
Uh, what's your current
parenting schedule, Jessie?

106
00:04:41,524 --> 00:04:42,923
Um...

107
00:04:42,948 --> 00:04:45,816
He's with me during the week,
he's with his dad on weekends.

108
00:04:45,995 --> 00:04:47,694
I'm the primary.

109
00:04:47,719 --> 00:04:48,851
Do you need to take that?

110
00:04:48,876 --> 00:04:51,764
Sorry. I can't shut it off.
I-I'm a teacher on call.

111
00:04:53,203 --> 00:04:55,710
The courts lean toward the child
spending time with both parents.

112
00:04:55,735 --> 00:04:59,100
Yes, I want that, too. Our
schedules do not have to change.

113
00:04:59,125 --> 00:05:01,359
Dion can travel back on weekends.

114
00:05:01,384 --> 00:05:03,514
Andre's just so angry,
he's not thinking straight.

115
00:05:03,959 --> 00:05:07,053
Do you need a minute?

116
00:05:08,477 --> 00:05:10,477
Andre posted this online.

117
00:05:11,910 --> 00:05:14,318
"For a good spanking,
call me at 604... " oh...

118
00:05:14,869 --> 00:05:17,121
My phone's been buzzing all morning.

119
00:05:17,576 --> 00:05:19,871
I made the mistake of
answering the first few.

120
00:05:20,983 --> 00:05:22,015
Is that a mushroom?

121
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,121
Oh! No. That's
definitely not a mushroom.

122
00:05:50,472 --> 00:05:52,736
- Synced and corrected by ChrisKe -
-- for www.addic7ed.com --

123
00:05:56,057 --> 00:05:59,311
Can I get you something to drink?

124
00:05:59,490 --> 00:06:00,490
Excuse me.

125
00:06:00,684 --> 00:06:03,618
Don't touch my headphones.
They're my buffer.

126
00:06:04,652 --> 00:06:06,472
That must be some game you're playing.

127
00:06:06,846 --> 00:06:08,947
It's not a game. I'm coding my app.

128
00:06:08,972 --> 00:06:11,006
- Oh.
- I'll have a soda.

129
00:06:11,810 --> 00:06:13,810
"I'll have a soda, please."

130
00:06:18,105 --> 00:06:19,671
Why would your ex do this?

131
00:06:19,696 --> 00:06:21,687
Our divorce got ugly last year.

132
00:06:21,712 --> 00:06:24,246
Even at our worst,
Andre was never this bad.

133
00:06:24,271 --> 00:06:27,761
- Anything change recently?
- I have a new boyfriend.

134
00:06:28,498 --> 00:06:31,130
Andre's had, like, six
girlfriends since we split,

135
00:06:31,155 --> 00:06:34,679
- God forbid I meet anyone new.
- Typical.

136
00:06:34,842 --> 00:06:37,576
He started with stuff like
putting sugar in my gas tank,

137
00:06:37,601 --> 00:06:40,002
which cost an arm and a leg to repair.

138
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,537
Then he sent an email from my account

139
00:06:42,562 --> 00:06:44,175
to all my contacts...

140
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,634
My parents, co-workers...

141
00:06:45,659 --> 00:06:47,245
Everyone thinks I have gonorrhea!

142
00:06:47,270 --> 00:06:50,516
- And now this.
- Have you taken this to the police?

143
00:06:50,541 --> 00:06:53,982
They say there's nothing they
can do. I can't prove it's him.

144
00:06:54,622 --> 00:06:56,655
I read your interview, Mr. Svensson...

145
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,290
How you're all about getting
couples to work together,

146
00:06:59,315 --> 00:07:00,874
instead of against each other?

147
00:07:00,899 --> 00:07:02,390
That sounds really nice.

148
00:07:03,274 --> 00:07:05,413
I'll see if I can get
Andre and his lawyer in.

149
00:07:10,475 --> 00:07:12,708
I thought Frank was being a jerk.

150
00:07:12,818 --> 00:07:14,540
Abigail. I have a few minutes.

151
00:07:14,565 --> 00:07:15,730
Let's talk now.

152
00:07:19,975 --> 00:07:21,580
So, what's going on?

153
00:07:21,890 --> 00:07:26,515
Frank has asked for a
child-custody evaluation.

154
00:07:26,540 --> 00:07:27,655
Then he's a fool.

155
00:07:27,998 --> 00:07:30,198
Those are always tough on the kids,

156
00:07:30,223 --> 00:07:32,146
- on the whole family.
- So I've heard.

157
00:07:32,410 --> 00:07:34,659
I also know they're going to interview

158
00:07:34,684 --> 00:07:36,316
everyone in my life and...

159
00:07:36,371 --> 00:07:39,162
You want me to bury Frank.
Let something slip.

160
00:07:40,590 --> 00:07:44,577
I'm more worried about
my own past slip-ups.

161
00:07:46,047 --> 00:07:48,915
I know this puts you
in a difficult position.

162
00:07:49,842 --> 00:07:50,881
It might.

163
00:07:51,164 --> 00:07:54,132
If there were any slip-ups to report.

164
00:07:55,627 --> 00:07:57,835
Good thing I haven't witnessed any.

165
00:08:11,881 --> 00:08:16,416
_

166
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:21,088
_

167
00:08:22,033 --> 00:08:26,041
_

168
00:08:26,904 --> 00:08:30,306
Wow. Looks like a real lawyer's office.

169
00:08:30,544 --> 00:08:32,577
Too bad you won't be here
long enough to enjoy it.

170
00:08:32,836 --> 00:08:34,727
- Take it Jessie's back?
- Mm.

171
00:08:34,943 --> 00:08:36,408
Her ex should be here any minute.

172
00:08:36,433 --> 00:08:39,400
Can't wait to meet this
lovely dreg of humanity.

173
00:08:40,112 --> 00:08:42,959
What were you and Harry meeting about?

174
00:08:43,346 --> 00:08:44,560
You can't stand it

175
00:08:44,585 --> 00:08:46,345
when I have a moment
alone with him, can you?

176
00:08:46,496 --> 00:08:48,197
Huh. Well,

177
00:08:48,298 --> 00:08:51,000
- I'm gonna be straight with you.
- Don't say it's about partnership.

178
00:08:51,025 --> 00:08:52,124
That's getting old.

179
00:08:52,792 --> 00:08:54,837
I'm about to get dragged through

180
00:08:54,862 --> 00:08:57,049
a child-custody evaluation.

181
00:08:57,965 --> 00:08:59,213
Brutal.

182
00:09:00,035 --> 00:09:03,425
- Sorry to hear that.
- Harry will likely be interviewed.

183
00:09:04,344 --> 00:09:05,880
Chances are, you will, too.

184
00:09:06,330 --> 00:09:10,721
So, whatever your feelings are about me,

185
00:09:10,746 --> 00:09:13,944
- I'd appreciate it if you...
- It's okay, Abby...

186
00:09:14,406 --> 00:09:15,979
I got your back.

187
00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:25,332
We're hoping to
de-escalate this tension.

188
00:09:25,769 --> 00:09:28,503
Come up with an agreement
concerning your son's education.

189
00:09:28,528 --> 00:09:30,627
And put an end to
your serial harassment.

190
00:09:30,652 --> 00:09:31,818
My harassment?

191
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,089
Still playing the victim, I see.

192
00:09:34,121 --> 00:09:37,056
She tell you about the time
she keyed my work van, hmm?

193
00:09:37,588 --> 00:09:39,655
Or when she cut the
crotches out of my pants?

194
00:09:40,433 --> 00:09:41,433
All of them!

195
00:09:41,458 --> 00:09:43,058
I was upset. He was cheating on me!

196
00:09:43,083 --> 00:09:46,675
Whatever happened in the past
doesn't justify your client's

197
00:09:46,700 --> 00:09:48,345
- abusive behaviour.
- My client has done nothing.

198
00:09:48,370 --> 00:09:51,355
Well, this "spank me"
ad didn't post itself.

199
00:09:51,380 --> 00:09:52,660
She posted it!

200
00:09:52,685 --> 00:09:55,319
Oh. You think I'm doing this to myself?

201
00:09:55,344 --> 00:09:56,597
She's setting me up,

202
00:09:56,622 --> 00:09:58,522
making me out to be the crazy one,

203
00:09:58,988 --> 00:10:01,168
all so she can take
that job in Victoria.

204
00:10:01,193 --> 00:10:02,926
- The move is not about my job.
- Right.

205
00:10:02,951 --> 00:10:05,196
It's about sticking our son in
that school for messed-up kids.

206
00:10:05,221 --> 00:10:06,540
Kids with special needs.

207
00:10:06,565 --> 00:10:08,581
Dion is fine when he's with me!

208
00:10:08,606 --> 00:10:10,502
You're never with him
during the week, Andre!

209
00:10:10,539 --> 00:10:11,963
I'm the one taking calls

210
00:10:11,988 --> 00:10:14,035
from teachers every
time he has a meltdown.

211
00:10:14,060 --> 00:10:15,355
Now he's skipping class!

212
00:10:15,380 --> 00:10:17,079
Dion's not the one
with the mental issues.

213
00:10:17,117 --> 00:10:18,503
I know you're behind this!

214
00:10:18,528 --> 00:10:20,886
You obviously have different ideas
about what's best for your son.

215
00:10:20,911 --> 00:10:22,089
They do. We've gone back and forth

216
00:10:22,114 --> 00:10:23,813
on this for months, with no resolution.

217
00:10:23,838 --> 00:10:24,871
Let's save it for court.

218
00:10:25,104 --> 00:10:26,369
I wonder how long before

219
00:10:26,417 --> 00:10:28,417
these lawyers get sick
of your bullshit, too.

220
00:10:31,222 --> 00:10:33,857
- Who was your previous lawyer?
- Candice Birch.

221
00:10:33,882 --> 00:10:35,882
She wouldn't do anything
about Andre's harassment.

222
00:10:36,347 --> 00:10:38,471
Candice? She's a pretty
aggressive lawyer.

223
00:10:38,496 --> 00:10:40,096
Was it true what Andre said... ?

224
00:10:40,121 --> 00:10:41,374
Yes, there's a job,

225
00:10:41,399 --> 00:10:43,244
but I only started looking
after Dion was accepted.

226
00:10:43,269 --> 00:10:46,870
No, I meant about cutting
the crotches out of all his pants.

227
00:10:46,895 --> 00:10:48,527
I'm not proud of that.

228
00:10:48,552 --> 00:10:50,538
You should be... inspired.

229
00:10:50,563 --> 00:10:52,096
But I'm past it now.

230
00:10:52,121 --> 00:10:53,386
I'm in a good relationship.

231
00:10:53,411 --> 00:10:54,597
I just want to move on.

232
00:10:54,622 --> 00:10:56,675
That means doing what's best for Dion.

233
00:11:01,699 --> 00:11:04,363
So, are you gonna make the call or am I?

234
00:11:05,846 --> 00:11:07,412
Ms. Fullerton?

235
00:11:07,437 --> 00:11:09,034
Yeah, I repped her.

236
00:11:09,456 --> 00:11:10,725
Why'd you part ways?

237
00:11:11,460 --> 00:11:13,378
That's lawyer-client privilege.

238
00:11:14,703 --> 00:11:16,202
Let me rephrase.

239
00:11:16,714 --> 00:11:18,043
Did you ever suspect...

240
00:11:18,269 --> 00:11:20,312
that Jessie could be doing
these things to herself?

241
00:11:20,766 --> 00:11:22,214
Are you not hearing me?

242
00:11:24,441 --> 00:11:26,073
Look.

243
00:11:26,098 --> 00:11:27,363
All I'll say

244
00:11:27,388 --> 00:11:30,822
is Jessie's version of reality
is not necessarily on point,

245
00:11:30,847 --> 00:11:33,714
so if you decide to represent her,

246
00:11:33,739 --> 00:11:35,066
proceed with caution.

247
00:11:48,903 --> 00:11:50,736
- Let's finish strong.
- Okay.

248
00:11:56,066 --> 00:11:58,066
♪ I loved her before...

249
00:11:59,370 --> 00:12:01,370
♪ It was time for my...

250
00:12:02,573 --> 00:12:03,372
What?

251
00:12:03,748 --> 00:12:05,715
-Too sweaty?
- No.

252
00:12:06,988 --> 00:12:08,267
Oh, right.

253
00:12:09,103 --> 00:12:10,568
Nylon shorts.

254
00:12:10,593 --> 00:12:12,327
Yeah, I'm getting flashbacks to prom.

255
00:12:13,035 --> 00:12:14,456
Cathy Sanchez was my date.

256
00:12:14,481 --> 00:12:15,761
I was traumatized.

257
00:12:15,801 --> 00:12:18,902
Well, I promise, it was just
as traumatizing for Cathy.

258
00:12:20,071 --> 00:12:21,671
Wanna grab lunch later today?

259
00:12:21,696 --> 00:12:24,573
- Sure. Nicli's Antica?
- Sounds great.

260
00:12:25,316 --> 00:12:27,516
Why don't you swing by my office first?

261
00:12:27,541 --> 00:12:30,141
I want to show you
off to my co-workers.

262
00:12:38,963 --> 00:12:41,138
Okay, okay, okay.

263
00:12:46,938 --> 00:12:48,575
So your parents divorced?

264
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:49,832
When I was seven.

265
00:12:51,989 --> 00:12:53,700
Do you have any siblings?

266
00:12:54,147 --> 00:12:56,080
Two, half-siblings.

267
00:12:56,896 --> 00:12:59,146
That I know of.

268
00:12:59,171 --> 00:13:01,272
Well, here we are.

269
00:13:01,297 --> 00:13:03,997
Baked from scratch this morning.

270
00:13:05,298 --> 00:13:08,216
I'm off to my volunteer
shift at the soup kitchen.

271
00:13:08,241 --> 00:13:11,075
Honey, I'll let them know you
couldn't make it this time.

272
00:13:11,471 --> 00:13:15,129
- Bye!
- Bye.

273
00:13:16,336 --> 00:13:18,436
Your mom does a lot of volunteering?

274
00:13:18,835 --> 00:13:20,341
Honestly?

275
00:13:20,366 --> 00:13:24,466
Her idea of charity is bidding at
those cheesy bachelor auctions.

276
00:13:27,021 --> 00:13:29,169
- And the scones are...
- Whole Foods.

277
00:13:29,306 --> 00:13:30,472
That's okay.

278
00:13:30,597 --> 00:13:31,929
They're my favourite.

279
00:13:33,883 --> 00:13:36,150
Her heart's in the right place.

280
00:13:36,261 --> 00:13:38,261
She's just looking out for me.

281
00:13:39,287 --> 00:13:41,294
What was your parents'
relationship like?

282
00:13:41,956 --> 00:13:45,263
Uh, well, they were
actually really, um...

283
00:13:47,822 --> 00:13:49,660
They weren't the greatest role models...

284
00:13:50,776 --> 00:13:52,497
- for anything.
- No?

285
00:13:54,137 --> 00:13:55,974
My dad cheated on my mom,

286
00:13:55,999 --> 00:13:58,302
so, naturally, my mom
told me everything.

287
00:14:00,285 --> 00:14:02,833
And the arguing was...

288
00:14:03,135 --> 00:14:04,521
non-stop.

289
00:14:06,376 --> 00:14:09,009
It was like living in an Albee play.

290
00:14:11,775 --> 00:14:14,516
I never wanted my kids to go
through anything like that.

291
00:14:16,775 --> 00:14:18,408
But, well...

292
00:14:18,963 --> 00:14:20,095
here we are.

293
00:14:35,009 --> 00:14:38,409
Level with me, Jessie. Why
did Candice drop you as a client?

294
00:14:39,559 --> 00:14:42,766
I included an email that Andre
sent me in a court affidavit.

295
00:14:43,168 --> 00:14:46,047
And I... may have...

296
00:14:46,830 --> 00:14:49,047
okay, I know how this is going to sound.

297
00:14:49,467 --> 00:14:50,667
You doctored it.

298
00:14:50,692 --> 00:14:53,047
I didn't add anything that
Andre didn't say to me in person.

299
00:14:53,072 --> 00:14:54,727
Okay? I just put it in writing.

300
00:14:54,752 --> 00:14:55,961
- Jessie.
- I swear,

301
00:14:55,993 --> 00:14:58,436
I am not doing these
things to myself. It's Andre.

302
00:14:58,461 --> 00:15:01,094
If I could prove it, I
would, but I can't, and...

303
00:15:02,260 --> 00:15:04,160
no one will believe me.

304
00:15:05,525 --> 00:15:06,791
Look.

305
00:15:07,605 --> 00:15:09,304
I-I'm really sorry

306
00:15:09,452 --> 00:15:11,094
for everything you're
going through, but...

307
00:15:11,126 --> 00:15:15,065
- You don't believe me, either.
- Daniel's made his decision.

308
00:15:25,862 --> 00:15:26,995
W...

309
00:15:38,735 --> 00:15:40,002
Hey.

310
00:15:40,838 --> 00:15:43,761
- I love that one.
- Do you now?

311
00:15:47,325 --> 00:15:48,825
You're not mad at me, are you?

312
00:15:49,945 --> 00:15:53,523
I'm sorry. I should've given you
credit for helping with those files.

313
00:15:53,548 --> 00:15:56,008
Yeah. You should have.

314
00:15:56,033 --> 00:15:59,625
It's just... no one ever says,
"Attaboy! Good work, Cecil."

315
00:16:00,235 --> 00:16:02,301
Harry still calls me by a woman's name.

316
00:16:02,326 --> 00:16:04,026
You're Mensa.

317
00:16:04,346 --> 00:16:06,156
I didn't think you needed the praise.

318
00:16:06,789 --> 00:16:08,022
Six years ago,

319
00:16:08,483 --> 00:16:10,082
I competed in this thing...

320
00:16:10,169 --> 00:16:13,000
The World STEM Federation Competition?

321
00:16:13,654 --> 00:16:15,148
I placed silver.

322
00:16:15,550 --> 00:16:18,284
So Mom took my medal and said,

323
00:16:18,309 --> 00:16:19,841
"This doesn't look like gold."

324
00:16:20,067 --> 00:16:21,600
Wow.

325
00:16:21,937 --> 00:16:23,804
It's practically the same thing.

326
00:16:30,299 --> 00:16:32,600
Why would Andre slash your tires?

327
00:16:32,725 --> 00:16:36,245
So I'd be late to pick up Dion.
Anything to make me look bad in court.

328
00:16:36,928 --> 00:16:38,662
Gary! You're here.

329
00:16:39,045 --> 00:16:40,311
- Of course.
- Oh.

330
00:16:40,336 --> 00:16:42,381
You sounded so distraught on the phone.

331
00:16:42,406 --> 00:16:43,460
Did you pick up Dion?

332
00:16:43,708 --> 00:16:45,775
I tried. He cut class again.

333
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,812
It's okay. I called
him, he's safe at home.

334
00:16:47,837 --> 00:16:53,045
Okay. Oh, uh, Ms. Bianchi, this
is Gary. Gary, this is... Abigail.

335
00:16:53,078 --> 00:16:55,178
Okay, um, I'll be right back.

336
00:16:56,198 --> 00:16:58,365
You've got to help her. The
police have been useless.

337
00:16:58,591 --> 00:17:01,585
Andre's attacks... They're
getting more extreme.

338
00:17:01,882 --> 00:17:03,281
Jessie's terrified.

339
00:17:03,867 --> 00:17:05,578
She could have
slashed her own tires.

340
00:17:05,626 --> 00:17:07,694
- When?
- Right before her meeting with you.

341
00:17:07,866 --> 00:17:10,389
You didn't see her. She's
at her breaking point.

342
00:17:10,614 --> 00:17:13,639
It is possible Jessie is doing
these things to get sympathy...

343
00:17:13,664 --> 00:17:16,422
- Munchausen's syndrome.
- Like that stepmom in The Sixth Sense?

344
00:17:16,447 --> 00:17:17,975
That's Munchausen's by proxy.

345
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,935
Or Jessie's just got a bad
case of divorce psychosis.

346
00:17:21,044 --> 00:17:22,621
I've certainly seen my share of that

347
00:17:22,646 --> 00:17:24,881
from scorned women over the years.

348
00:17:24,906 --> 00:17:27,509
Really, Harry? "Bitches
be crazy"? That's your argument?

349
00:17:27,534 --> 00:17:28,666
Ask your mother about

350
00:17:28,691 --> 00:17:31,126
the time she loaded my
jockstrap with cayenne pepper

351
00:17:31,151 --> 00:17:32,317
before my hockey game.

352
00:17:32,342 --> 00:17:34,397
No one wants to hear
about your jockstrap.

353
00:17:34,687 --> 00:17:36,253
What if Lucy meets with Jessie?

354
00:17:36,418 --> 00:17:39,375
If she believes she's telling
the truth, we'll take her case?

355
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,397
- Okay, fine.
- Uh, okay.

356
00:17:41,422 --> 00:17:43,920
I guess I can do that.
Thank you for asking.

357
00:17:45,018 --> 00:17:46,284
Daniel?

358
00:17:46,675 --> 00:17:48,175
Your lunch date is here.

359
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,170
Uh, everyone... I would
like you to meet my girlfriend.

360
00:17:51,195 --> 00:17:52,094
Clara?

361
00:17:52,267 --> 00:17:53,966
Harry?

362
00:17:56,255 --> 00:18:01,013
Uh, I-I'm just gonna use the
restroom. Meet you at the elevator.

363
00:18:03,781 --> 00:18:05,514
Clara.

364
00:18:08,874 --> 00:18:11,475
Oh, my god.

365
00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:12,732
What?

366
00:18:12,977 --> 00:18:16,202
Harry and Daniel dipped their
fish sticks in the same sauce.

367
00:18:31,944 --> 00:18:34,879
Then the contractor went
directly to my client

368
00:18:35,467 --> 00:18:37,324
to talk about his concerns.

369
00:18:37,694 --> 00:18:39,817
Really?

370
00:18:40,241 --> 00:18:41,273
That's not right.

371
00:18:41,376 --> 00:18:43,835
And now the entire
project is in jeopardy.

372
00:18:43,860 --> 00:18:45,493
Crazy.

373
00:18:49,066 --> 00:18:50,170
Go on.

374
00:18:50,624 --> 00:18:52,991
Ask me whatever it is you want to know.

375
00:18:55,323 --> 00:18:59,476
- Where did you two meet?
- Reflections Cocktail Lounge.

376
00:18:59,501 --> 00:19:02,495
- When?
- About a year ago?

377
00:19:04,909 --> 00:19:08,524
- How long did it last?
- Couple weeks.

378
00:19:10,767 --> 00:19:12,299
It... It was a blip.

379
00:19:12,782 --> 00:19:16,341
Didn't my firm's name tip it off?
Svensson and Svensson?

380
00:19:17,377 --> 00:19:19,877
I didn't know his last name.

381
00:19:20,471 --> 00:19:22,872
It was a few nights.

382
00:19:22,897 --> 00:19:24,763
We didn't do a whole lot of talking.

383
00:19:35,649 --> 00:19:38,983
- Thank you.
- Hey. Sofia just texted me.

384
00:19:39,008 --> 00:19:41,009
Apparently, Valerie
met with Nico yesterday.

385
00:19:41,034 --> 00:19:42,100
How did it go?

386
00:19:42,125 --> 00:19:44,158
I'll let you know when he
stops ignoring my calls.

387
00:19:44,183 --> 00:19:45,982
Jessie? Everything okay?

388
00:19:46,144 --> 00:19:47,878
The job in Victoria...

389
00:19:48,043 --> 00:19:49,108
It's on hold.

390
00:19:49,317 --> 00:19:51,468
The principal received
an anonymous email.

391
00:19:51,493 --> 00:19:54,608
Apparently, some parent
says I slapped their kid.

392
00:19:54,991 --> 00:19:58,849
- They're investigating me.
- Deep breaths, Jessie. It will be fine.

393
00:20:00,128 --> 00:20:01,328
This is Dr. Svensson.

394
00:20:01,353 --> 00:20:04,257
Oh. The one who's gonna
figure out if I'm a nutbar.

395
00:20:04,506 --> 00:20:07,397
- That's not how I'd put it.
- No, it's okay.

396
00:20:07,422 --> 00:20:09,087
I want to know, too.

397
00:20:09,509 --> 00:20:11,744
These days, I wonder if I am crazy.

398
00:20:13,015 --> 00:20:14,281
Follow me.

399
00:20:19,544 --> 00:20:21,477
Are you getting any sleep?

400
00:20:21,695 --> 00:20:23,529
Barely.

401
00:20:24,572 --> 00:20:26,472
I've never been a paranoid person,

402
00:20:26,497 --> 00:20:27,897
but, uh...

403
00:20:28,115 --> 00:20:29,448
lately, I'm just on edge.

404
00:20:30,185 --> 00:20:33,208
Was Andre ever physically
or psychologically abusive

405
00:20:33,233 --> 00:20:34,989
- when you were married?
- No.

406
00:20:37,106 --> 00:20:39,739
We had our screaming matches, sure...

407
00:20:40,446 --> 00:20:42,780
but... I never felt unsafe.

408
00:20:43,295 --> 00:20:44,935
And now you do?

409
00:20:47,299 --> 00:20:50,000
After I met Gary, maybe...

410
00:20:50,102 --> 00:20:54,271
maybe Andre thinks he's
being replaced in Dion's life?

411
00:20:54,888 --> 00:20:56,706
But I've said it a thousand times,

412
00:20:56,808 --> 00:20:59,176
Gary is not moving to Victoria.

413
00:20:59,201 --> 00:21:00,733
Tell me more about Dion.

414
00:21:01,583 --> 00:21:04,480
How has he adjusted to the separation?

415
00:21:05,661 --> 00:21:07,271
I mean, not great.

416
00:21:08,779 --> 00:21:10,712
But he has these moments.

417
00:21:10,822 --> 00:21:14,524
He made me this really cool
stop-motion animation once.

418
00:21:14,626 --> 00:21:16,492
It's, um...

419
00:21:16,517 --> 00:21:18,605
a bunch of dancing jellybeans.

420
00:21:18,630 --> 00:21:20,096
It said,

421
00:21:20,121 --> 00:21:22,721
"Happy Mother's Day. You're sweet."

422
00:21:24,206 --> 00:21:26,026
People don't see that side of him.

423
00:21:26,409 --> 00:21:28,409
He's a good kid.

424
00:21:30,042 --> 00:21:31,463
But yes.

425
00:21:32,354 --> 00:21:36,411
- It gets challenging.
- Has Dion had a formal diagnosis?

426
00:21:37,659 --> 00:21:40,143
"Oppositional defiant disorder."

427
00:21:41,735 --> 00:21:44,536
Andre says he just needs more exercise.

428
00:21:45,565 --> 00:21:47,598
I took Dion to see a play once.

429
00:21:47,623 --> 00:21:49,301
And something...

430
00:21:49,326 --> 00:21:51,291
The light or a sound...

431
00:21:51,316 --> 00:21:53,549
Just... set him off.

432
00:21:55,332 --> 00:21:58,194
You should have seen the way
the other kids looked at him,

433
00:21:58,219 --> 00:22:00,219
even the parents.

434
00:22:00,244 --> 00:22:02,779
When people see you as crazy...

435
00:22:03,101 --> 00:22:06,102
they treat you like
you're-you're contagious.

436
00:22:06,127 --> 00:22:07,616
Or dangerous!

437
00:22:08,905 --> 00:22:11,944
I just don't want Dion to feel that way.

438
00:22:11,969 --> 00:22:15,249
- What do you think he needs?
- To be understood.

439
00:22:15,606 --> 00:22:17,473
To have teachers that get him,

440
00:22:17,857 --> 00:22:20,702
and I found a place that
can give that to him,

441
00:22:20,727 --> 00:22:22,725
but the way Andre is wearing me down,

442
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,670
some days, I just want to give up.

443
00:22:28,707 --> 00:22:32,150
Come on... Dion. Just take a seat.

444
00:22:33,448 --> 00:22:35,515
Why didn't you pick me up from school?

445
00:22:35,540 --> 00:22:36,872
Buddy, you know I had a meeting.

446
00:22:36,897 --> 00:22:38,447
I don't like getting picked up by him!

447
00:22:38,472 --> 00:22:41,048
- All right. Just take it down a notch.
- Get out of my face!

448
00:22:44,313 --> 00:22:45,747
I'm sorry, Gary.

449
00:22:45,990 --> 00:22:47,022
It's okay.

450
00:22:47,233 --> 00:22:50,167
It's a stressful situation,
but we've got this.

451
00:22:51,206 --> 00:22:52,939
If I ever talked to my mom like that,

452
00:22:53,399 --> 00:22:55,999
my face would be on the
side of a milk carton.

453
00:23:02,971 --> 00:23:04,503
Come in.

454
00:23:10,379 --> 00:23:11,681
What is it?

455
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,204
I just...

456
00:23:15,005 --> 00:23:18,040
I don't want there to be
any awkwardness between us.

457
00:23:18,923 --> 00:23:21,848
- Awkwardness? How?
- Come on, Dad.

458
00:23:21,883 --> 00:23:23,798
- Clara?
- Ah.

459
00:23:24,426 --> 00:23:27,525
Well, there's no discomfort on my end.

460
00:23:27,550 --> 00:23:30,757
She's... She's a great gal.
You should see where it goes.

461
00:23:36,525 --> 00:23:39,892
If you think she's so great,
why did you stop seeing her?

462
00:23:40,169 --> 00:23:43,915
I... just needed a woman with
a little more substance.

463
00:23:45,271 --> 00:23:47,672
But I think Clara's great for you.

464
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,904
You and Harry... measuring fish sticks?

465
00:24:00,929 --> 00:24:02,061
Not funny.

466
00:24:02,261 --> 00:24:04,729
Yeah, it is. The whole
thing is freakin' hilarious.

467
00:24:04,754 --> 00:24:07,466
Want me to pump your tires
for the custody evaluation?

468
00:24:08,090 --> 00:24:09,090
Lay off.

469
00:24:09,429 --> 00:24:11,096
I don't think Jessie is lying.

470
00:24:11,354 --> 00:24:12,920
Her lack of sleep, high alertness...

471
00:24:12,945 --> 00:24:14,470
They're symptoms of hyper-vigilance,

472
00:24:14,495 --> 00:24:17,096
which suggests she's
legitimately scared.

473
00:24:18,082 --> 00:24:19,848
Fine. We'll represent her.

474
00:24:19,873 --> 00:24:21,717
I'll get Cecil to draft a
contract of representation.

475
00:24:21,741 --> 00:24:24,175
I'll drop it off at
Jessie's on my way home.

476
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,200
But what about...

477
00:24:25,225 --> 00:24:26,865
Oh, you're gonna want
to hop on the SeaBus

478
00:24:26,890 --> 00:24:28,690
and catch the 212 to Deep Cove.

479
00:24:58,175 --> 00:25:00,075
My house burnt down when I was a kid.

480
00:25:00,682 --> 00:25:02,344
My father barely escaped.

481
00:25:02,446 --> 00:25:05,080
I've been terrified of fire ever since.

482
00:25:05,378 --> 00:25:08,745
Not many people know that. Andre does.

483
00:25:09,283 --> 00:25:10,928
Why would he... ?

484
00:25:10,953 --> 00:25:13,487
- Dion was home!
- This is next level, Jessie.

485
00:25:13,590 --> 00:25:15,690
He's putting your son at risk, too.

486
00:25:20,125 --> 00:25:21,290
Excuse me?

487
00:25:22,104 --> 00:25:24,475
- Oh, hi.
- Is this your place?

488
00:25:24,500 --> 00:25:25,399
No.

489
00:25:25,578 --> 00:25:30,371
- Uh, I'm her lawyer. Abigail.
- Aidan.

490
00:25:31,850 --> 00:25:34,118
D-D... Do you have any
idea of the fire-starter?

491
00:25:34,143 --> 00:25:36,677
Some kind of accelerant.
Probably gasoline.

492
00:25:36,702 --> 00:25:37,968
Sounds like arson.

493
00:25:39,334 --> 00:25:42,000
I can, uh, keep you updated
on the investigation.

494
00:25:42,572 --> 00:25:43,852
Let me give you my contact info.

495
00:25:44,384 --> 00:25:45,384
Sure.

496
00:25:46,698 --> 00:25:47,698
Here you go.

497
00:25:50,342 --> 00:25:52,322
Is that for the fire station, or...

498
00:25:53,033 --> 00:25:54,252
No.

499
00:25:55,104 --> 00:25:56,136
My cell.

500
00:25:58,025 --> 00:26:00,932
Feel free to call. Any time.

501
00:26:17,987 --> 00:26:19,275
Happens.

502
00:26:21,142 --> 00:26:22,532
Not to me.

503
00:26:23,267 --> 00:26:26,425
- Should I take that personally?
- No.

504
00:26:26,527 --> 00:26:28,059
No, it's not you.

505
00:26:28,162 --> 00:26:29,533
You're great.

506
00:26:30,510 --> 00:26:31,830
It's just...

507
00:26:33,678 --> 00:26:36,412
when I'm with you, I
start picturing my dad.

508
00:26:36,697 --> 00:26:38,103
Wait, no.

509
00:26:38,282 --> 00:26:39,715
That didn't come out right.

510
00:26:39,740 --> 00:26:44,343
Is this something you think you're
gonna be able to work through?

511
00:26:44,772 --> 00:26:46,080
I want to...

512
00:26:48,273 --> 00:26:49,783
but I don't know.

513
00:26:58,656 --> 00:27:02,458
Maybe it's best if you sleep
in your own bed tonight.

514
00:27:05,710 --> 00:27:08,011
I'm sorry, Clara.

515
00:27:09,046 --> 00:27:11,843
- Maybe I can...
- No.

516
00:27:15,410 --> 00:27:17,410
I'm calling it.

517
00:27:27,382 --> 00:27:29,881
This isn't just about
a school in Victoria.

518
00:27:29,906 --> 00:27:31,438
We need to convince the judge

519
00:27:31,594 --> 00:27:34,128
to grant Jessie emergency
sole custody of Dion.

520
00:27:35,141 --> 00:27:36,540
Great. Do it.

521
00:27:36,565 --> 00:27:37,897
Really?

522
00:27:37,922 --> 00:27:39,414
Everything okay?

523
00:27:40,215 --> 00:27:41,881
I don't want to talk about it.

524
00:27:41,906 --> 00:27:44,818
This wouldn't have anything
to do with your Oedipal crisis?

525
00:27:44,997 --> 00:27:46,697
Clara broke up with me last night.

526
00:27:46,722 --> 00:27:48,388
Said I had "Daddy issues."

527
00:27:48,491 --> 00:27:52,007
- Wow, Clara. Accurate read.
- Says the person who wrote the book.

528
00:27:54,130 --> 00:27:56,163
Jessie, you know Dion
can't be in the courtroom.

529
00:27:56,188 --> 00:27:57,487
He won't go to school.

530
00:27:57,611 --> 00:28:00,867
- He's still terrified from last night.
- I'll stay with Dion.

531
00:28:09,194 --> 00:28:10,890
In closing, Your Honor,

532
00:28:10,915 --> 00:28:13,082
Ms. Fullerton only wants
what's best for her son.

533
00:28:13,558 --> 00:28:17,127
And her ex has responded
with a campaign of terror...

534
00:28:17,152 --> 00:28:19,625
One that could have caused
bodily harm last night.

535
00:28:19,650 --> 00:28:20,761
We ask that you not only grant

536
00:28:20,786 --> 00:28:23,328
Ms. Fullerton's request
to relocate to Victoria,

537
00:28:23,353 --> 00:28:25,836
but that you grant her
emergency sole custody,

538
00:28:25,861 --> 00:28:27,929
pending the outcome
of the investigation.

539
00:28:29,131 --> 00:28:30,496
Counsel?

540
00:28:30,622 --> 00:28:33,856
Your Honor, I agree with
Ms. Bianchi on one point...

541
00:28:34,011 --> 00:28:37,179
Ms. Fullerton wants what
she thinks is best for her child.

542
00:28:37,204 --> 00:28:39,249
And she'll do anything to get her way.

543
00:28:39,274 --> 00:28:41,674
Last night, my client
was painting the interior

544
00:28:41,699 --> 00:28:44,039
of an office building. A
whole crew can vouch for him.

545
00:28:44,064 --> 00:28:45,422
His "crew" is a bunch
of high-school buddies

546
00:28:45,446 --> 00:28:47,213
that are still kissing
the quarterback's ass.

547
00:28:47,238 --> 00:28:48,424
They'll say anything to cover for him.

548
00:28:48,449 --> 00:28:50,089
Will you give it a rest?

549
00:28:50,228 --> 00:28:52,262
I'll have order in my courtroom.

550
00:28:52,364 --> 00:28:55,221
We have concerns about
Ms. Fullerton's mental health.

551
00:28:55,246 --> 00:28:57,367
We believe she is doing
these things to herself.

552
00:28:57,392 --> 00:28:58,824
A million objections!

553
00:28:58,849 --> 00:29:00,711
This is complete speculation.

554
00:29:00,736 --> 00:29:02,938
News article, dated 1990...

555
00:29:02,963 --> 00:29:06,279
About a fire at Ms.
Fullerton's childhood home.

556
00:29:06,304 --> 00:29:08,478
Emailed to my office, anonymously.

557
00:29:08,503 --> 00:29:10,765
Uh, objection! We haven't seen this.

558
00:29:10,790 --> 00:29:12,447
You're seeing it now, Ms. Bianchi.

559
00:29:12,472 --> 00:29:13,538
I'll allow it.

560
00:29:13,563 --> 00:29:15,831
"Investigators discovered
the fire had been started

561
00:29:15,856 --> 00:29:17,914
by the family's
10-year-old daughter.

562
00:29:17,939 --> 00:29:20,105
When asked why she'd
done it, the girl said,

563
00:29:20,238 --> 00:29:23,039
'I wanted to see the pretty flames.'"

564
00:29:23,064 --> 00:29:25,498
The circumstantial evidence is damning.

565
00:29:25,523 --> 00:29:27,096
Out of concern for the child's safety,

566
00:29:27,121 --> 00:29:29,164
we ask the court to grant Mr. Fullerton

567
00:29:29,189 --> 00:29:31,500
emergency interim custody of their son.

568
00:29:31,525 --> 00:29:34,527
Objection. Counsel just admitted
the evidence is circumstantial.

569
00:29:35,303 --> 00:29:39,974
Nevertheless, I'm afraid I must
lean on the side of extreme caution

570
00:29:39,999 --> 00:29:42,410
and grant Mr. Fullerton
emergency sole custody.

571
00:29:42,435 --> 00:29:44,535
Your Honor, the child
has special needs.

572
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,206
- Jessie is his biggest advocate.
- To be reviewed in one month,

573
00:29:48,231 --> 00:29:50,312
when, perhaps, we
will have more clarity.

574
00:30:03,627 --> 00:30:04,993
Was it true?

575
00:30:05,095 --> 00:30:07,919
- What the article said about the fire?
- I was 10.

576
00:30:07,944 --> 00:30:10,044
I wasn't trying to hide
anything from you guys.

577
00:30:10,652 --> 00:30:12,197
Hey.

578
00:30:13,166 --> 00:30:15,837
Dad said I'm going with him, but
I'm supposed to be with you tonight.

579
00:30:16,016 --> 00:30:17,983
Yeah, buddy. We made some
changes to the schedule.

580
00:30:18,008 --> 00:30:19,573
Listen. It's gonna be okay.

581
00:30:19,598 --> 00:30:21,552
No, it's not. It's Taco Tuesday.

582
00:30:21,718 --> 00:30:24,611
- We'll have tacos at my house.
- No. We have tacos at Mom's.

583
00:30:25,469 --> 00:30:26,901
Go to your dad's tonight, okay?

584
00:30:26,926 --> 00:30:29,642
If you do that, I'll bring
you anything you need.

585
00:30:36,092 --> 00:30:39,543
Hey. Give it time.
Everything will get sorted out.

586
00:30:40,528 --> 00:30:42,160
I know we don't
want to believe it's Jessie,

587
00:30:42,185 --> 00:30:44,631
but... I don't think it's Andre, either.

588
00:30:44,656 --> 00:30:45,656
Mm.

589
00:30:45,912 --> 00:30:49,369
No, he seemed genuinely
concerned for his son's safety.

590
00:30:49,394 --> 00:30:52,617
What if it's someone else?
Someone we haven't even considered?

591
00:30:52,642 --> 00:30:55,774
It would have to be someone with
intimate knowledge of Jessie's past.

592
00:30:55,799 --> 00:30:58,020
Someone who could gain
access to her computer.

593
00:30:58,207 --> 00:31:00,691
Maybe they installed
spyware or a key logger...

594
00:31:00,716 --> 00:31:03,782
then they'd have access to everything...
her contacts, passwords,

595
00:31:03,807 --> 00:31:05,784
- schedule.
- Dion.

596
00:31:05,963 --> 00:31:07,863
I met him after my session with Jessie.

597
00:31:07,888 --> 00:31:10,956
He was angry because Gary
picked him up from school.

598
00:31:10,981 --> 00:31:12,101
He's tech-savvy, too.

599
00:31:12,126 --> 00:31:14,660
He grunted something
about coding an app.

600
00:31:14,685 --> 00:31:17,140
Yeah, and the day
Jessie's tires got slashed,

601
00:31:17,165 --> 00:31:18,430
Dion skipped school.

602
00:31:19,545 --> 00:31:20,578
No.

603
00:31:20,758 --> 00:31:22,091
Not a chance.

604
00:31:23,496 --> 00:31:25,881
He has oppositional defiant disorder...

605
00:31:25,906 --> 00:31:29,598
- He's not a criminal mastermind.
- Nobody thinks that, but...

606
00:31:29,623 --> 00:31:32,023
this can't be easy for Dion.

607
00:31:32,829 --> 00:31:36,668
Maybe he's doing this to try to
sabotage the move to Victoria?

608
00:31:36,887 --> 00:31:38,119
Does he even want to go?

609
00:31:38,408 --> 00:31:39,975
Dion hates change,

610
00:31:40,007 --> 00:31:41,406
but I know my son,

611
00:31:41,587 --> 00:31:43,352
and he would never hurt anyone.

612
00:31:43,557 --> 00:31:45,090
Especially not me.

613
00:31:45,115 --> 00:31:47,155
Can I at least bring your
laptop back to the office?

614
00:31:53,901 --> 00:31:54,933
All right, Cecil.

615
00:31:55,969 --> 00:31:58,203
Do your computer thing.

616
00:31:58,228 --> 00:32:00,929
"Computer thing"? Way
to value my skills.

617
00:32:01,178 --> 00:32:03,278
I'm just gonna stop by the fire hall

618
00:32:03,310 --> 00:32:04,882
and see where they're at
with the investigation.

619
00:32:04,907 --> 00:32:06,640
Why don't you just call them?

620
00:32:32,630 --> 00:32:34,029
Hi.

621
00:32:35,317 --> 00:32:36,317
Aidan, right?

622
00:32:36,748 --> 00:32:38,748
Abigail.

623
00:32:39,621 --> 00:32:43,022
I-I thought I'd just come down
and see if there were any...

624
00:32:43,327 --> 00:32:46,317
- updates about the fire.
- Nothing new to tell.

625
00:32:46,529 --> 00:32:48,295
Sorry you had to come
all the way down here.

626
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,654
Oh, wasn't far.

627
00:32:50,679 --> 00:32:52,245
Plus, I get to...

628
00:32:52,556 --> 00:32:55,624
check out this big, shiny truck.

629
00:32:57,001 --> 00:32:59,501
And I bet you've got a pole
hiding in there somewhere.

630
00:33:00,747 --> 00:33:02,813
Did you want to hop in?

631
00:33:03,557 --> 00:33:05,346
Would it be weird if I said yes?

632
00:33:05,371 --> 00:33:08,772
Well, most people who want
to go on the truck are under 10.

633
00:33:10,064 --> 00:33:11,997
Oh, another fire to put out?

634
00:33:12,207 --> 00:33:14,207
Only if I leave my chili
on the stove too long.

635
00:33:14,232 --> 00:33:15,832
It's my turn to cook.

636
00:33:16,059 --> 00:33:17,758
Man's gotta eat.

637
00:33:17,783 --> 00:33:21,273
- I should go check on it.
- Yeah, I should get going, too.

638
00:33:22,453 --> 00:33:23,352
Abigail.

639
00:33:23,617 --> 00:33:25,318
Wait.

640
00:33:26,700 --> 00:33:28,151
Parting gift.

641
00:33:28,726 --> 00:33:30,559
Oh...

642
00:33:33,298 --> 00:33:34,825
Thank you for your service.

643
00:33:37,645 --> 00:33:40,180
"Thank you for your service"?

644
00:33:40,205 --> 00:33:41,536
Idiot!

645
00:33:43,154 --> 00:33:44,820
Cecil. Can I help you?

646
00:33:46,402 --> 00:33:48,402
Ta-dah!

647
00:33:48,533 --> 00:33:49,997
Did you make that for me?

648
00:33:51,658 --> 00:33:52,958
"In recognition

649
00:33:52,983 --> 00:33:56,325
of exemplary acts of
filing and friendship.

650
00:33:56,536 --> 00:33:59,131
Best Office Assistant."

651
00:34:00,557 --> 00:34:01,456
Cecil.

652
00:34:01,481 --> 00:34:03,314
And look... it's gold.

653
00:34:03,813 --> 00:34:05,130
I love it.

654
00:34:06,257 --> 00:34:07,689
Thank you.

655
00:34:23,757 --> 00:34:27,114
So, basically, you went all
the way down there for nothing.

656
00:34:27,139 --> 00:34:28,404
I wouldn't say nothing.

657
00:34:28,786 --> 00:34:31,863
I picked up a bundle of
toilet paper on my way back.

658
00:34:33,433 --> 00:34:34,532
You were right.

659
00:34:34,557 --> 00:34:36,849
Found spyware on Jessie's laptop.

660
00:34:36,874 --> 00:34:37,874
Good!

661
00:34:38,817 --> 00:34:40,905
So, now, are you able
to trace a signature

662
00:34:40,930 --> 00:34:42,763
back to the person who installed it?

663
00:34:42,788 --> 00:34:44,420
I'm not Mr. Robot.

664
00:34:44,445 --> 00:34:46,794
Maybe we don't have to trace anything.

665
00:34:46,819 --> 00:34:49,319
Maybe we can... bring the source to us.

666
00:34:49,783 --> 00:34:51,716
If I email Jessie,

667
00:34:51,741 --> 00:34:54,108
can the person who installed
the spyware read it, too?

668
00:34:54,233 --> 00:34:55,665
That's kind of the point.

669
00:34:58,029 --> 00:35:00,481
- What are you doing?
- Emailing Jessie.

670
00:35:00,986 --> 00:35:03,744
Letting her know that her
neighbour across the street

671
00:35:03,769 --> 00:35:05,395
has reached out,

672
00:35:05,888 --> 00:35:08,698
and as luck would have it,
her brother is visiting...

673
00:35:08,723 --> 00:35:12,458
he owns a car with a
video-surveillance system.

674
00:35:13,122 --> 00:35:15,099
My car has a video-surveillance system.

675
00:35:15,124 --> 00:35:18,321
She thinks he has footage
of the person who started the fire.

676
00:35:18,577 --> 00:35:21,578
She'll meet us tonight
so we can check the video.

677
00:35:21,603 --> 00:35:23,370
Mm-hmm!

678
00:35:23,833 --> 00:35:27,684
Ohh... so now, whoever
put the spyware on her laptop

679
00:35:27,709 --> 00:35:29,700
will want to get that
video before we do.

680
00:35:29,725 --> 00:35:31,523
She's settin' a trap.

681
00:35:31,548 --> 00:35:32,947
- Yeah.
- Wait a minute.

682
00:35:32,972 --> 00:35:34,371
Whose car are we using?

683
00:35:39,163 --> 00:35:42,138
Frank's car has video surveillance,
too. Why don't we use his?

684
00:35:42,163 --> 00:35:46,056
Four words... "child custody
evaluation," dumbass.

685
00:35:46,081 --> 00:35:47,380
- Guys.
- Relax.

686
00:35:47,405 --> 00:35:49,672
No one's gonna go
near your precious car.

687
00:35:49,697 --> 00:35:51,888
We're gonna swoop in as soon a...

688
00:35:51,913 --> 00:35:53,278
Guys!

689
00:35:54,336 --> 00:35:56,802
Gary?

690
00:35:56,967 --> 00:36:00,372
My car.

691
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,271
Gary! What the hell are you doing?

692
00:36:04,296 --> 00:36:05,541
Okay, okay.

693
00:36:05,566 --> 00:36:07,864
Let's just calm down.
I'm looking out for you.

694
00:36:07,889 --> 00:36:10,532
Did you also tell yourself that
when you set her house on fire?

695
00:36:10,557 --> 00:36:15,567
So, wait, wait... the ad, the
anonymous email... that was all you?

696
00:36:15,592 --> 00:36:17,403
I love you, Jessie. It
just made me sick to see

697
00:36:17,428 --> 00:36:18,739
all the back-and-forth
you had with your ex.

698
00:36:18,764 --> 00:36:20,529
- He's Dion's dad.
- I wanted to show you

699
00:36:20,554 --> 00:36:22,659
- his true colours.
- You mean your true colours.

700
00:36:22,684 --> 00:36:24,380
And then you wanted to move to Victoria.

701
00:36:24,405 --> 00:36:25,905
- We have a good thing here.
- Don't!

702
00:36:26,249 --> 00:36:27,281
Because of you,

703
00:36:27,306 --> 00:36:29,028
everyone thinks I'm a danger to my son!

704
00:36:29,053 --> 00:36:30,165
I think we can agree

705
00:36:30,190 --> 00:36:31,910
- that kid is a wedge between us.
- "That kid"?

706
00:36:31,935 --> 00:36:33,653
You can't see what a negative
force he is in your life.

707
00:36:33,678 --> 00:36:35,036
Let's face it. He's weird.

708
00:36:35,794 --> 00:36:37,225
Give me the tire iron.

709
00:36:37,250 --> 00:36:39,350
I just wanted us to be free
from all this craziness.

710
00:36:39,375 --> 00:36:42,587
You are the craziness!

711
00:36:55,265 --> 00:36:57,455
Let me guess. It was the boyfriend.

712
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:58,545
How'd you know?

713
00:36:58,570 --> 00:37:00,369
I listen to a lot of
true-crime podcasts.

714
00:37:00,394 --> 00:37:02,282
It's always the boyfriend.

715
00:37:02,307 --> 00:37:05,676
Lucy says he's a narcissist
with a Savior complex.

716
00:37:05,701 --> 00:37:08,685
Had to let go of my sous chef
for stealing a side of beef,

717
00:37:08,710 --> 00:37:11,191
but... you win for
crazy story of the day.

718
00:37:11,216 --> 00:37:13,250
Oh... no, there's more.

719
00:37:14,003 --> 00:37:15,436
You remember Clara?

720
00:37:15,662 --> 00:37:17,528
Of course. I love her pantsuits.

721
00:37:17,553 --> 00:37:20,187
Well, turns out she
and my dad used to...

722
00:37:21,112 --> 00:37:23,319
- No.
- Yeah.

723
00:37:23,344 --> 00:37:26,445
And I couldn't get over
it, so she dumped me.

724
00:37:26,843 --> 00:37:29,013
"My girlfriend. My stepmom.
My girlfriend! My stepmom!"

725
00:37:29,038 --> 00:37:30,237
Okay, okay, stop.

726
00:37:30,803 --> 00:37:32,369
Daniel.

727
00:37:32,394 --> 00:37:34,622
I'm really sorry your
ex smashed your dad.

728
00:37:34,647 --> 00:37:35,679
Thank you.

729
00:37:36,362 --> 00:37:37,795
I liked her, too.

730
00:37:37,820 --> 00:37:39,220
I feel terrible.

731
00:37:40,036 --> 00:37:41,621
Trust me, you'll be fine.

732
00:37:41,723 --> 00:37:45,214
One day, she'll look back and say,
"I dated two Svenssons...

733
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,544
and one of them had a great butt."

734
00:37:49,130 --> 00:37:50,997
Wait. I'm the one with
the great butt, right?

735
00:37:51,022 --> 00:37:52,522
Mm-hmm.

736
00:37:54,741 --> 00:37:56,773
I am so sorry I blamed you for all this.

737
00:37:56,798 --> 00:37:58,431
- I feel so stupid.
- Don't.

738
00:37:58,899 --> 00:38:01,091
- He played all of us.
- Thing about creeps...

739
00:38:01,116 --> 00:38:03,216
they work overtime to not seem creepy.

740
00:38:03,349 --> 00:38:06,117
My boss once asked
me to pull his finger.

741
00:38:07,054 --> 00:38:08,677
We would like to make an application

742
00:38:08,702 --> 00:38:10,833
to vary the temporary custody order.

743
00:38:12,353 --> 00:38:14,020
Reasonable. What about Victoria?

744
00:38:14,045 --> 00:38:16,045
My job offer is back on the table,

745
00:38:16,763 --> 00:38:19,622
and I still think this is
the best school for Dion.

746
00:38:20,786 --> 00:38:22,752
I don't like being so far away from him.

747
00:38:22,777 --> 00:38:25,212
I know I only have
him on weekends, but...

748
00:38:26,561 --> 00:38:28,228
at least he feels close.

749
00:38:29,225 --> 00:38:32,059
The new school ends
at noon every Friday.

750
00:38:32,084 --> 00:38:34,173
Jessie could get Dion
on the 1:00 p.m. ferry.

751
00:38:34,198 --> 00:38:35,697
You could have him on pro-D days

752
00:38:35,722 --> 00:38:37,458
and long weekends.

753
00:38:39,910 --> 00:38:42,643
Only until the end of
the school year, then...

754
00:38:43,526 --> 00:38:44,692
we reassess.

755
00:38:48,194 --> 00:38:49,474
Thank you!

756
00:38:53,913 --> 00:38:57,449
I'd like to pick up the kids
from school today, Frank.

757
00:38:58,106 --> 00:39:00,272
I can bring them straight to you.

758
00:39:00,856 --> 00:39:03,323
Can you give me a ten-minute
car ride with them?

759
00:39:04,487 --> 00:39:06,086
Call me back.

760
00:39:14,134 --> 00:39:16,067
There's someone here to see you.

761
00:39:16,262 --> 00:39:17,398
A walk-in?

762
00:39:17,423 --> 00:39:19,756
I don't think he's
here for legal advice.

763
00:39:27,288 --> 00:39:29,088
Oh...

764
00:39:29,677 --> 00:39:32,140
You're... here.

765
00:39:33,530 --> 00:39:34,828
Yeah.

766
00:39:36,258 --> 00:39:37,957
Is this about the fire?

767
00:39:38,139 --> 00:39:39,605
No.

768
00:39:42,365 --> 00:39:44,957
I was wondering if...

769
00:39:44,982 --> 00:39:46,730
you'd like to go out tonight?

770
00:39:49,129 --> 00:39:50,572
Uh...

771
00:39:50,723 --> 00:39:53,674
I have to stay late tonight

772
00:39:53,768 --> 00:39:58,223
- for a... thing.
- Ah.

773
00:39:59,471 --> 00:40:02,449
I get it. Uh, I should've called.

774
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:04,686
Maybe tomorrow?

775
00:40:05,164 --> 00:40:07,131
Great.

776
00:40:07,156 --> 00:40:08,288
Yeah.

777
00:40:08,313 --> 00:40:09,379
Great.

778
00:40:09,404 --> 00:40:10,836
I'll call tomorrow, then.

779
00:40:11,170 --> 00:40:12,869
Okay.

780
00:40:12,894 --> 00:40:15,529
- Okay.
- Okay.

781
00:40:15,554 --> 00:40:17,221
Bye.

782
00:40:29,129 --> 00:40:31,361
And how long have you
been in this current job?

783
00:40:31,558 --> 00:40:33,363
Almost 10 months.

784
00:40:34,113 --> 00:40:36,125
What is your relationship
like with your boss?

785
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,627
Uh, that's a loaded question.

786
00:40:39,566 --> 00:40:42,724
- I work for my dad.
- Oh.

787
00:40:42,833 --> 00:40:44,098
How's that been for you?

788
00:40:44,217 --> 00:40:47,152
You said, uh, you were
estranged for a long time.

789
00:40:48,170 --> 00:40:49,559
33 years.

790
00:40:49,584 --> 00:40:50,749
Yeah.

791
00:40:50,850 --> 00:40:54,129
But... we've... settled
into a bit of a rhythm.

792
00:40:55,503 --> 00:40:58,270
And he did help me
out when I needed it...

793
00:40:58,449 --> 00:41:01,113
something he never lets me forget.

794
00:41:02,966 --> 00:41:05,434
Does your substance use cause
any problems in your life?

795
00:41:07,291 --> 00:41:10,988
Alcohol has caused problems in the past,

796
00:41:11,013 --> 00:41:13,747
but I've been sober close to a year.

797
00:41:14,131 --> 00:41:15,764
Have you ever neglected your children

798
00:41:15,789 --> 00:41:17,188
when you were under the influence?

799
00:41:17,213 --> 00:41:19,426
- No. I haven't.
- Oh.

800
00:41:21,437 --> 00:41:24,172
Mr. Bianchi mentioned a few occasions...

801
00:41:25,779 --> 00:41:28,316
when you passed out and
left the children unattended.

802
00:41:28,582 --> 00:41:30,726
I... I mean,

803
00:41:30,751 --> 00:41:34,440
I took naps when the kids
were young, but who hasn't?

804
00:41:34,885 --> 00:41:37,119
He said one of these naps

805
00:41:37,144 --> 00:41:39,066
resulted in your daughter
getting frostbite?

806
00:41:39,091 --> 00:41:40,757
Apparently, you left her outside.

807
00:41:42,589 --> 00:41:44,956
She was building a
snowman without gloves on.

808
00:41:44,981 --> 00:41:47,340
She was in the backyard,
where I could see her.

809
00:41:47,365 --> 00:41:49,598
There's no judgment here, Abigail.

810
00:41:49,893 --> 00:41:51,402
I'm just relaying what he told me.

811
00:41:51,427 --> 00:41:52,225
Mm-hmm.

812
00:41:53,136 --> 00:41:55,840
He also talked about a time

813
00:41:55,865 --> 00:41:58,215
that your son cut his hair
with a sharp pair of scissors?

814
00:41:58,240 --> 00:42:00,598
They were plastic!
From his Play-Doh set.

815
00:42:01,764 --> 00:42:03,564
These things could happen to any parent!

816
00:42:03,912 --> 00:42:04,912
Your daughter, Sofia,

817
00:42:04,937 --> 00:42:07,749
mentioned a video that
wound up on YouTube,

818
00:42:07,774 --> 00:42:10,173
of you in court?

819
00:42:10,567 --> 00:42:12,512
That was almost a year ago.

820
00:42:13,659 --> 00:42:15,449
Her peers still tease her about it.

821
00:42:17,119 --> 00:42:18,386
Look...

822
00:42:19,362 --> 00:42:22,896
that is something I will
forever be ashamed of,

823
00:42:22,921 --> 00:42:23,965
but you have to understand,

824
00:42:23,989 --> 00:42:26,089
Frank had just kicked
me out of the house

825
00:42:26,114 --> 00:42:28,074
- the night before.
- Because of your drinking?

826
00:42:28,099 --> 00:42:29,198
Yes!

827
00:42:29,223 --> 00:42:31,176
And did you respond to the
stress of that situation

828
00:42:31,201 --> 00:42:34,262
- with more drinking?
- Yes! Because I'm an alcoholic.

829
00:42:34,287 --> 00:42:36,082
I'm just trying to
understand the full picture.

830
00:42:36,107 --> 00:42:39,963
No, no. You're trying to fill in
the picture Frank is painting...

831
00:42:39,988 --> 00:42:41,121
"Oh, poor Frank...

832
00:42:41,146 --> 00:42:43,417
The cause of all his
problems is my drinking."

833
00:42:43,551 --> 00:42:44,933
Well, what about him?

834
00:42:46,053 --> 00:42:47,754
How he lied to me,

835
00:42:47,779 --> 00:42:49,978
when he said the affair was over?

836
00:42:50,340 --> 00:42:53,449
How he's keeping my
own children from me?

837
00:42:53,474 --> 00:42:56,108
Has he mentioned any of that?

838
00:42:58,044 --> 00:42:59,611
- Sorry.
- No, it's okay.

839
00:43:01,543 --> 00:43:03,160
Do you know what? I think
that's enough for today.

840
00:43:04,631 --> 00:43:06,497
Yeah.

841
00:43:49,795 --> 00:43:54,795
