Mom, you have to hold it steady.

You gonna abracadabra this room clean?

Bro, not now.

Mom, pick a card.

Queen of hearts.

What are you-- you're ruining them.

Have a little faith.

The queen of hearts is stronger than you think.

Queen of hearts gets shredded, torn up.

But just when you think she's been beat,

she comes back hard,

like next level.

Left him with a stepfather

who doesn't give a damn about him.

Cancer.

Yeah.

That's the one that won't let you be Victor's lawyer

and why you need me to be this guardian-ad-whatever,

so I can make you his lawyer.

He doesn't belong there.

That boy played a prank on the school computer system,

and a judge gave him three years.

Three years for a prank, Dot.

The system just wrote him off.

Sound familiar?

Rudy, Donny Ray's addiction nearly broke me.

And then he died,

and I thought that would finish me off,

but I had to fight for him.

And we beat those bastards, thanks to you.

But...

that boy needs someone.

A whole someone.

I'm afraid I'm just not that person right now.

I really am sorry.

I want to help.

I understand.

Dot, the reason we won that case

is because you never stopped believing in Donny Ray.

I hope you know that.

We didn't win 'cause I believed in Donny Ray.

We won because you believed in me.

Tell me where and when, and I'll be there.

Deck, what do you say we bury the hatchet, buddy?

- In your ball sack? Sure. - Is this the kid?

Boone McCready. You can say you saw him win.

- Huh. - Boone McCready?

You know how far I could've gone

with a name like Boone McCready?

How much does he know?

Just enough.

Boone, say hi to Bruiser Stone and Deck Shifflet.

♪ This is the moment ♪

- Whoo! - There it is.

That's a hell of an arm, kid.

A hell of a lot of things.

You let this one go?

Crazy, bruh.

Boone, though, let me ask you something.

Did Coach Tom here ever tell you

why he pulled you out in the middle of a no-hitter?

Save my arm. Right, Coach?

Exactly.

Are they gonna ask that at jury duty, or...

- Grand jury. - Take the fifth.

both: No. - Why not?

Because you were saving his arm.

Just keep your answers short, and tell the truth.

I won't be able to be in there with you,

but you can come out and ask me questions anytime.

So you're my lawyer.

Hot.

All right, so is the grand jury

gonna believe me?

No, 'cause you're a liar and a cheat.

Wait, are you lying?

both: No.

You know what, Deck? Relationships are complicated.

You porked the weather girl. It's not that complicated.

- Tom has PTSD. - What?

Yeah, that game against the Sox--

bottom of the seventh, two outs,

on the verge of your first Major League shutout.

You were hurting, but you were hiding it,

afraid they'd pull you.

I watched that clip a thousand times.

Shouldn't have thrown that heater.

Nobody asked you. Keep throwing.

I like this kid.

Full count to a fastball hitter,

and what does Tom do?

All gas, no brake.

Struck him out.

And blew out your elbow, dipshit,

ruined your career,

the reason you took Boone off the mound.

That true, Coach?

You, uh--you got PTSD?

- No. - Yes.

Yes.

Probably explains why I'm a little overprotective.

Makes sense, actually.

Wait a second.

That game was after we split up.

You were still watching me on TV.

I had money on the other team.

- Ooh. Stalker. - No, no, no, no, no, no.

Stop it. Stop it right now. You stop it.

Stop it. This cannot end in sex.

- Don't be an idiot. - I'm married.

- Like that matters. - Plus, I'm a client now.

Shitastrophe.

Shitastrophe. I'm stealing that.

Coffee, tea, kombucha?

Do you have any green tea?

Sencha, matcha, Mao Feng, jasmine?

Jasmine, hot.

Thank you.

Uh, first, I just--I wanted to thank you for calling.

I'm glad you could make it on such short notice.

I know this is a gush, but we studied

your Alien Tort argument in the Santos-Merell case.

It would, uh--it would be such a dream to learn from you.

Well, this isn't Tinley Britt.

We don't hire associates on a probationary basis.

We give the candidate a small matter on a freelance basis,

usually pro bono, and we see how you perform.

Sorry, am I a candidate?

A favor for a friend who would like to go unnamed.

So I would rather this not get back to us.

Understood.

I mean, thank you so much for the opportunity.

I really appreciate this.

Let's not get excited yet.

Let's see how you do.

Your Honor, my name is Rudy Baylor.

I'm moving on behalf of Victor Suffredes

to appoint a guardian ad litem in a civil action

that we'll be filing in this court.

This was just handed to me.

Is this the judge that sentenced Victor?

No, that's family court.

This is a Court of Common Pleas.

Different ballgame.

All right.

Do I understand correctly, this is an uncontested motion?

Yes, Your Honor.

No, Your Honor.

This bitch.

Your Honor, Sarah Plankmore.

I'm representing Chuck Lawson, Victor's stepfather

and legal guardian.

I'm sorry.

Dot, what makes you think you'd be the right person

to serve as guardian ad litem

to Victor Suffredes?

I listen. Most folks don't.

Well, listening is good,

but you'd also have to raise an alarm

if something isn't right,

even if his attorney doesn't like it.

I have never shied away

from speaking the truth to you, have I?

No, you have not.

I know this hearing is about me.

But I don't want us to forget

there's a 12-year-old boy we're talking about.

He's alone. He's scared.

And he needs someone to look out for him.

I'd like to ask a question.

Mrs. Black, you were party to a high-profile case

earlier this year regarding the death of your son.

Do you think that that would impede your judgment here?

Losing my son doesn't cloud how I see Victor.

In fact, I'd say it's the reason

I can see him clearly.

I know what it looks like when a kid gets written off,

and I am not about to let that happen again.

Nothing further, Your Honor.

I'd put her against half the lawyers in this courthouse.

Ms. Plankmore, your client has an objection?

Yes, Your Honor.

First, I would like to say

that I believe Mrs. Black would be

a fine guardian ad litem for Victor or any child.

That said, Victor already has a guardian who cares for him,

and with your permission,

Mr. Lawson would like to speak on his own behalf.

When I first moved in, I didn't want to overstep.

But, uh, you know how kids are.

One day, you're tying their shoes.

Next thing you know, you hung the moon.

Sounds like you really love him.

Yeah. Yeah, I really do.

Do you agree that Victor hasn't had anyone

looking out for him? - No, no.

Looking out for Victor, that's my number one job.

I love that boy.

I even donated to charity this year.

It's called Child Start.

- Can I borrow your pen? - Yeah.

- Hell, I love all kids. - OK.

Nothing further, Your Honor.

Mr. Baylor, do you wish to question the witness?

Mr. Lawson, is it true that

you told my colleague, Mr. Shifflet,

that you don't consider Victor your son?

Oh, that's a lie.

It's not true that you said, "I wash my hands of that boy"?

No, no, no, no, no.

I--I--I love Victor like he's my own.

Oh, really? But you think he also

belongs in prison for a school prank?

Wasn't just a prank.

He put that video on all those computers, sure.

But while they were busy trying to turn it off,

he used that distraction to change his grades

and all his friends' too,

and they paid him for it.

Did y'all know about that?

No, we didn't.

I don't blame y'all for believing Victor.

He's a smart kid.

He can be real convincing.

But I got a call from juvie just the other day.

They found a shiv tucked in his waist.

It breaks my heart, but that boy is

right where he needs to be.

- Thank you. I've heard enough. - You--

Mr. Baylor, you may disagree

with Mr. Lawson's methods and intentions,

but this court cannot simply replace a legal guardian

without some form of proof that he does not, in fact,

have the child's best interests at heart.

It's ridiculous.

Just absolutely ridiculous. - Rudy, Rudy. Wait.

- What are you doing here? - Look.

I didn't know you were opposing counsel

until this morning after I'd already agreed

to take the job.

Seems like a pretty big coincidence.

Rudy, I--I needed the job.

I did not do this to hurt you.

I swear. I swear. That is the last thing that--

You didn't hurt me.

You hurt a 12-year-old boy.

Congratulations. - Rudy.

OK. OK.

Excuse me.

We'll talk about that one later.

Why didn't we know about the shiv?

No, no, I don't buy it. OK?

That just doesn't sound like Victor.

You've known him for five minutes.

Wasn't the grade-changing stuff

in the files or something?

The files are sealed

unless we're the attorney of record.

See, that's the thing with juvie cases.

You don't know what you have

until you're up to your neck in it.

What's the plan now?

There's no plan. Judge ruled.

I don't accept that.

Well, I don't accept my birthday,

but it happens anyway.

Sorry, it's over.

Did you enjoy the show today?

She send you there to spy on me?

Your ex is hot.

You're all psychopaths.

Brava.

Why didn't you tell me

Rudy Baylor was opposing counsel?

Is that why you hired me?

You thought I would rattle him?

- Yeah. Seemed to work. - Well, it didn't.

The judge just bought what the client was selling.

- Mm, but you didn't? - No, he's slimy.

But he's not the real client, is he?

I told you-- favor for a friend.

Who's the friend?

What is this? - Your fee.

You're not gonna tell me what I was really doing

in that courtroom? - I find numbers speak louder.

You don't know Rudy. He won't give up.

If anything, my presence there just guaranteed that.

He was lying.

Yeah, of course he was lying.

Proving it is something else.

All right, well, what do we need?

I don't know.

All right, well, he definitely didn't give

to a children's charity-- we can prove that.

It's not gonna be enough to move the judge.

We need something else.

- "Babe"? - I'm still in character.

The house is in Victor's name.

Wait, is this the deed?

Chuck's selling a house he doesn't own.

OK, did you idiots break in?

Ah, Deck made an appointment with the realtor.

He made cookies.

This is why Chuck needs Victor locked up.

He's stealing from him.

Who's "Lying Liar"?

both: Tom.

Speaking of lying liars, this was more than a prank.

Changed grades, then there's the shiv,

getting a judge to overturn his own decision.

OK, changing grades, that's a school suspension,

not three years.

There's a lot more going on here, Bruiser.

OK, like what?

Like, aren't you wondering

what Sarah was doing there?

Well, maybe she got the only client who would have her.

How'd she even meet Chuck? She's not with a firm.

You checked?

All right, so what do you think she is doing?

I don't know. I would like to, though.

She actually looked a little shaken up,

if you ask me. - Well, nobody did ask you.

- OK. - I'm still wondering

who's paying us for this. - Pot, kettle.

What are we pulling in for Mr. Lying Liar?

And motel orgasms don't count.

Yes, they do.

Oh, gross. Let's go.

Bruiser, thanks for coming.

I am not talking to that bitch.

Bye.

Jocelyn, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Please, Jocelyn.

She's crazy.

I need your help.

You're an irony-free zone, aren't you?

Please.

She bought a new sofa.

To match the new painting.

And you bought this with what money?

Exactly.

And she posted a picture of it all on Instagram.

- It is none of her business! - She's right.

This is none of my business. - Thank you.

It's not a great idea to be showing off

when I'm getting dragged in front of a grand jury!

You didn't buy it! I did!

That's not how the law sees it.

I'm not an idiot.

I know how it works.

I am the wife.

They can't make me testify against him.

Is that true?

That doesn't protect you from your own crimes.

Have you ever heard of Nadine Menendez,

wife of Congressman Bob Menendez?

She's serving a 4 1/2-year sentence

for conspiring with her husband

to accept bribes and hide the money.

Buying this sofa and that ugly painting

could be considered money laundering.

- Money laundering? - Can you spell it?

Aw, give me a break.

If you touch the money, move it,

spend it, or help him hide it,

you are up to your veneers in this.

Yeah, I'm not listening to this.

- Honey. - No.

How did I get here?

- She's gonna divorce me. - No, no, no, no, no.

You cannot let that happen.

She's right about one thing.

As long as she's your wife,

she can't be compelled to testify against you.

But that's her privilege, not yours.

So I need her to stay.

You need her to stay happy.

Look, I know you're worried about me,

but I promise, you didn't need to come down here again.

Hey, what happened to all those nice girls

you used to tell me about?

They all got jobs.

Um, some moved away.

I mean, some don't talk to me anymore.

Why is that?

'Cause they're also friends with Rudy.

And they just-- they couldn't forgive me.

- I see. - Yeah.

- Mm. - And people love to gossip.

What kind of gossip?

That I sold out my firm.

Right.

Oh, babe.

I just want my life back.

And I want my sweet girl back.

Hold on, Mom.

I have to get this. - Oh.

Hello?

Your hot ex filed a motion to reconsider.

I'm not surprised.

He never stops.

Mm, tell me more.

I'm assuming I will see you there?

No, it's in chambers. Just you, sweet cheeks.

Could you be any weirder?

I'm working on it. 9:00 a.m.

Toodles.

Chilly night to be whacking balls.

You must be a man with a lot on his mind.

White Mike. What's going on?

You mind if I take a whack?

Played in high school, but it's been a minute.

Do you mind?

I was shortstop.

Loved it.

You're always in on the action.

Coach said I wasn't quick enough.

Moved me to left.

So I quit.

You can hit.

Grand jury's tomorrow, huh?

Uh, how'd you know about that?

You know what?

Don't--don't worry about the grand jury.

I got that all--

I think I'm pulling too much to the left.

You're, uh, swinging a bit early.

You gotta let the ball travel deeper.

Huh.

Show me.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. What is this?

You don't mention Gator's name, right?

No, never.

I'm not gonna say anything, I swear.

Tell Gator I won't say a word.

No.

If you open your mouth,

Boone McCready might need to learn

how to pitch left-handed. - No!

Not the kid. Don't touch his arm!

Da Toscana Porchetta?

both: The best.

Where are we going with this, Mr. Baylor?

Your Honor, we're moving for reconsideration

of your earlier decision

based on Mr. Lawson's flagrant self-dealing.

The house Mr. Lawson's living in was

left to Victor by his mother.

The house is in Victor's name.

And Mr. Lawson has leveraged it to the point

where he's upside down.

Now he has it on the market.

And the reason he doesn't want Victor out of juvie

is because he's stealing from him.

Mr. Baylor and Mr. Shifflet

obtained this information illegally,

making it fruit of the poisonous tree--

The deed is publicly available.

That's not how you got it.

Your Honor, the exclusionary rule

doesn't apply in civil proceedings.

Bar exam practice test. Deal with it.

They entered under false pretenses.

The real estate agent let us in.

They pretended they were a couple

looking for a house.

We never said we were a couple.

- Are you breaking up with me? - All right, that's enough.

- Your Honor-- - It seems, Ms. Plankmore,

that your client misrepresented himself to this court,

and, in all candor, that does not make you

look very good either.

I'm appointing Mrs. Black as GAL in this matter.

- Thank you, Your Honor. - Thank you, Your Honor.

Yes, yes.

Hey, what did the judge say?

How do you know Amanda Vonn?

I don't.

What did the judge say? - We lost.

No, no, no, no. Look, I'm his guardian.

No, not in that courtroom.

And I would not sell that house if I were you.

That's my house.

You tried to steal it from your dead wife's child.

You're disgusting.

Hey, hey, you're supposed to be my lawyer, OK?

Says who? Who told you I was your lawyer?

Like, did somebody call you? Was it Amanda?

Was it Megan? - Who?

- Who--who called you? - No, no, no.

It doesn't work like that. - What doesn't work like that?

Look, you screwed up in there, OK?

You tell them to send someone down and fix it.

OK, well, tell--tell who?

Where's our client?

Mr. Baylor, this is not a fast food restaurant.

You don't just show up and place an order.

We have rules.

Constitution guarantees my client the right to counsel.

This is a retainer agreement

signed by Mrs. Black as guardian ad litem.

And if you're not gonna let us see him,

I'm more than happy to take that up with the judge.

Mr. Baylor, are you and I gonna have trouble?

I don't know, sir. Are we?

All right, Mr. Baylor.

I'll do you a favor.

I didn't ask for a favor.

Go get him.

Are you serious?

- Line up! - Line up!

I've dealt with that sort my entire life.

Whew!

For the record, I like angry Rudy.

Come on in, buddy.

You, uh--you wanted to see me, Coach?

Yeah, take a seat.

So I've been talking to upstairs.

About what?

We think we can get you on the Mud Hens,

Detroit Triple-A.

What the hell are you talking about?

They're a straight shot to the Detroit Tigers, buddy.

You could be in the show in a year, two tops.

You want to trade me?

Coach, I--I'm crushing it for you right now.

You don't want to lose me.

I know.

You're right. I don't.

But I want to get you somewhere you can thrive.

Is this about that grand jury thing?

No.

OK, good.

'Cause trading me won't help.

Look, this isn't the shitastrophe

you think it is.

You didn't do nothing wrong.

You got PTSD, and you're just looking out for your boy here.

Come on. Let's go, Robins.

Wait.

That's my house? Like, mine?

Your mom put it in your name before she passed.

Does Chuck go to jail for this,

or does he just get away with it?

No, he didn't get away with it.

We won.

Victor, we need to talk to you about something.

You lied to us.

Is this is about the grades?

I didn't think you'd want to be my lawyer, OK?

It's not a big deal.

Actually, it is a big deal.

But not as big as the knife.

The knife?

Oh, the shiv?

That wasn't even mine. - Let me guess.

You were hiding it for somebody else.

Yeah, I was.

Victor, we know this is

a dangerous place, and you may feel

you have to protect-- - Lady, you don't even know me.

- Whoa, hey. "Lady"? - I don't have time for this!

I have to get out of this place.

I do not belong here.

And I'm not the only one.

So can you get me out or not?

Maybe Victor and I need a few minutes alone.

Yeah, I think that's a good idea.

We'll, uh, come back.

Come on.

Come on.

So you were the client in Rudy's big case?

My son was the client.

He's the one who died.

Something you and I have in common.

We both lost someone we love.

I didn't love her.

You and me against the world.

Is that what your mama said?

When my father took off, yeah.

I said the same thing to my boy

when his father passed.

Yeah, but you meant it.

Even after your son died,

you went to court and proved it.

It took my mom less than a year to marry Chuck.

It wasn't me and her against the world anymore.

It was just me against Chuck.

Then she up and died, and I was left with that dick.

I doubt she planned on dying.

When you have kids...

you have to plan on dying.

Did you hear what he said?

I heard a pissed off kid at the end of his rope.

No, he said he's not the only one.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking we need to find out

who else Halloran sent here.

Ooh. - With you in a minute!

- Hey, be cool. - I am cool.

No, we don't want to piss him off this time.

What is that smell?

Jambalaya, about four days old.

Deck, look.

The hell are you two doing here?

You were supposed to hand over the case files

on Victor Suffredes.

I'm putting them together now.

Really?

Looks like you're shredding them.

- Why would I do that? - You wouldn't.

So why don't we just take a quick peek?

- I don't think so. - Why not?

Because kiss my ass. That's why.

Those files aren't yours.

Funny, 'cause they've got my handwriting all over them.

Well, the law says they belong to the client,

who's now our client.

I said I'll send them.

- Rudy? - What?

- Hold him! - Oh, come on.

- Hey! - Deck, what are you--

What--whoa!

Whoa, OK! Whoa, whoa! Deck!

- Drop the box, Deck. - Whoa!

God damn it.

Louis, what are you doing?

Put the gun away.

This is breaking and entering.

We didn't break in.

Stand-your-ground state.

I could shoot you right now and get off scot-free.

Drop the box, Deck.

Now.

- Deck, come on. - What's in these files, Louis?

- Hey, come on. - Out now.

- No. - Buddy, come on.

- No, we need these. - We don't need them.

Come on. - Rudy, we need these.

No, we don't-- we don't need them.

Come on. Hey, come with me. - That's a kid.

Let's go. Easy with that, all right?

That's a kid, Louis.

- Hey. - That's a kid.

- Let's go. - Hey.

I thought we weren't supposed to piss him off.

He wasn't pissed.

He was scared.

How do you think he's doing in there?

Probably better than you deserve.

Look, if he has any questions,

he knows he can come out and ask.

What's wrong?

Just pulled something at the gym.

Hey, buddy. How's it going? - Oh, great.

Yeah, yeah, everybody seems real cool.

But you have a question for me?

Yeah, uh, so they were asking me

about that game in Biloxi,

and I told the truth like you said, you know,

that Coach pulled me out, saved my arm for that scout.

I didn't mention that PTSD stuff.

I figured that's your story to tell.

Oh, good. That's right.

But then they started asking me

about the other games.

The other games?

How many were there?

Two.

Four.

What do you want me to say?

Well, what's the reason he pulled you?

Saving my arm for when it counts.

Well, then you say that.

Oh, they also asked if Coach asked me

to delete any texts. - Ah.

Did he?

- Of course not. - No.

I don't know. I--I told them that.

All right. I--I better get back in there.

OK.

How big is this thing?

Prop bets, other players?

It was just the four, I swear.

Four games?

Do you understand what's happening in there?

Four games? That's a pattern.

OK, deleted texts? That's obstruction.

They're looking for predicates. - What's a predicate?

An underlying crime.

They only need two. - Two for what?

OK, uh, good news.

I don't think they're after the coach.

Yeah, they're asking me about some guy named Rico.

Two for a RICO indictment.

Oh, and someone named Gator.

- Did you say Gator? - Yeah.

Boone, tell me exactly what they said.

Uh, they asked me if I know someone named Gator.

- Gator Jack Guidry. - Yeah, you know him?

I'm guessing he must be friends with Rico,

but I never heard of him.

Great.

Well, then you go on in there,

and you answer the question just like that.

You're doing great, Boone.

Go get 'em. - OK.

Gator Jack Guidry?

What, you didn't think to mention that

you're in hock to the goddamn Dixie Mafia?

Ah! Bruiser, I can explain.

Pulled something at the gym, huh?

Look, I don't know how, but Gator knew--

You know what? I don't care.

You lied again.

- Bruiser, listen, I need-- - No.

No, not this time.

I quit.

Bruiser!

God damn it.

- Food's here. - Well, I got room for it now.

Would've been better to have the Palermo case files.

- Oh, better to not be shot. - Oh, stop.

I don't think he would have shot us.

Really? Didn't look that way.

All right, so what are we looking for

in these transcripts, exactly?

Something out of the ordinary.

What's HGS?

I don't know. Why?

'Cause it's out of the ordinary.

It's right here in the footnote.

HGS is under contract with the South Carolina

Department of Juvenile Justice.

I think I've seen that somewhere else.

Yeah?

♪ Keep my eyes on the road ♪

♪ And my hands on the wheel ♪

♪ To keep 'em off of you ♪

HGS?

♪ Liquor on my lips and salt on my wrist ♪

There we go, OK.

Transportation to Medford provided by HGS.

What the hell is HGS?

♪ And I'm fast ♪

♪ But I ain't fast enough ♪

What's HGS?

What if the H stands for Hampton County?

Ooh, no, no, no. Hanahan, Hanahan.

Hanahan's, like, 20 minutes away.

What if Hanahan General Services or something?

No, 'cause Medford isn't in Hanahan or Hampton County.

It's in Medford.

♪ Hands on the road and my hands on the wheel ♪

♪ To keep 'em off of you ♪

Oh, HGS is listed on the South Carolina roster

of contractors, has a Charleston address--

4401 King Street.

- Wait. - Mean something?

No.

I read that address somewhere before.

I know I did. Hold on.

♪ Dance too slow with someone I don't know ♪

♪ To keep off of you, to keep off of you ♪

Hold on. Yes, yes, yes.

Victor's medical consent form.

It says right here, all medical services at Medford

will be provided by a company called Tri-Med,

4401 King Street.

So Tri-Med is HGS.

both: Whatever HGS is.

Hey.

How'd the grand jury go?

Not our problem anymore.

Tom is no longer a client of this firm.

You want to talk about it?

You were right. I was wrong.

That what you want to hear?

I'd like to set it to music, but...

I'm not a monster.

You, uh--you OK?

He's in debt to Gator Jack Guidry.

Holy shit.

And he threw at least four games.

And he didn't tell you.

I took a trip down to Douchebag City,

and all I got was this shitty and gorgeous handbag.

Palermo pulled a gun on us.

Oh, yeah.

He didn't want us to see the Victor Suffredes files.

Harrowsgate Systems.

Harrowsgate Systems.

What the hell is Harrowsgate Systems?

Harrowsgate, that's HGS.

It's the company that owns Medford Juvenile Detention.

It's not owned by the state?

Privately owned. There's more.

Harrowsgate is a subsidiary of an Irish hedge fund

called Aughrim Holdings.

A hedge fund.

What's that smell?

both: Money.

They own 14 other juvenile detention centers.

Probably thousands of kids.

It's not a prison.

It's a business.

Heard you lost this time.

I didn't have all the information.

It would have been nice to know who I was really working for.

You were working for me.

I was working for Harrowsgate Systems.

Very resourceful.

So is Rudy Baylor.

You're gonna have a problem with him.

I assume so.

That's why I hired you.

You know him better than anyone.

As you pointed out, he beat me.

He won $82 million.

Do you regret anything you did in that trial?

I regret losing.

What about bringing up Baylor's dead brother

in your closing?

I read the transcript.

Beautiful close.

Yes, I regret that.

It wasn't necessary.

I disagree.

I'm not that person anymore.

"Not that person anymore."

Rock bottom always finds a language of virtue,

doesn't it?

Me too.

My turn.

More meaning.

The world has enough soft people.

My clients can be rather unscrupulous.

They're also extremely wealthy.

I tolerate the former

'cause I'm enamored by the latter.

I can see you are trying so very hard to be good.

If you work hard, that can get you

a one-bedroom apartment, a sensible car,

a 401 you can retire on.

They say that your dreams should exceed your grasp.

Yours sit comfortably within reach.

I wish you well.

I hope you don't mind.

I helped myself to a glass of your bourbon.

Poured you one too.

Yeah, no, thanks.

Well, it's impolite

to make your guests drink alone, Bruiser.

That name really stuck, didn't it?

Bruiser.

I remember when your daddy first brought you around.

You were a tough little thing, even then.

Hmm.

Now look at you.

All grown up.

Would you mind telling me why you're in my house, Gator?

I think you know why.

Well, I don't represent him anymore.

I'm afraid you do.

You see, I can't have him getting himself a lawyer

that I don't know and can't trust.

What makes you think you can trust me?

Well, you're all Lyman, aren't you?

Didn't get none of your mama.

Well, she was sweeter than sweet tea on a sunny day.

But you? Well...

You crawled straight out of the swamp

your daddy came from.

Same one I came from.
