Original subtitles

[narrator] previously on delilah...

[tamara] "had to make a quick work trip to raleigh, back tomorrow.

Sorry."

this is supposed to be our time with you, not hers.

I hear you, sweetheart.

But I suggest that you get used to katya being here,

because I asked her to move in, and as your father,

I need you to respect me by respecting her.

I have a friend here in town subcontracting for google.

She's looking for a head of security.

She needs someone she can trust.

-Don't you dare touch me. -Yeah, we need to end this.

I wanna settle.

I will set in motion the mediation

-between tam and fred. -I don't want a mediation.

-I still love you, chris. -I don't know what to say.

Just say you'll think about it.

I'm not sure I can, nate.

Wire transfers are fake.

Are we talking about the wire transfers that leah authorized,

the ones from pine city trust?

Her pawprints are all over this.

Files were put on her computer after the computer was stolen

from her apartment by your client or someone he paid.

You went to gary shea's house the day before he died.

Were you somehow involved in gary's death?

-[sighs] -leah. Leah.

You can't run away from this.

Were you involved in gary shea's death?

Just tell me what happened.

After the first time I came to see you,

the very first time,

you were like "I don't know if I could take this case."

right.

So I continued to reach out to gary.

I was hoping that maybe he could back me up about the whole...

Problem with the radios.

'cause I know I was not fired for being late or whatever.

So you went to his house?

Yeah. I thought maybe he'd see...

How much of a jam I was in and...

And if he knew that you were open to taking the case,

-then maybe-- -that he'll tell you what he knew?

-Right. -So what did he say?

He said he'd think about it.

You know, I...

I was sobbing. I was a mess.

Maybe he just said it to make me go away.

-Leah, why-- -dee...

Sometimes I feel like it's my own fault.

That he killed himself?

Yeah. Maybe he felt guilted into it or something.

You know, gary was such a nice guy.

Leah...

Can we get you to go back inside

and tell the story again in a sworn statement?

No!

No. I want to settle.

It was a mistake getting involved with fred in the first place,

and maybe it was a mistake calling you.

Excuse me?

Not that you haven't been anything but amazing.

But I will... How was I to know about nate?

[sighs] I'm so sorry but I'm done.

[upbeat music playing]

-hey. -Hi, ms. Davis.

Hey!

-Mediation is today, right? -Yep.

You can wait out here, in the conference room...

I'll just go to the restroom.

Ms. Davis...

Is it okay if I say something?

I guess.

Ms. Connolly took my case against the police for wrongful arrest

and false imprisonment five years ago.

It was basically my life for a whole year,

and I just wanted it to end, so I settled.

If you settle, ms. Davis, you'll get a check.

Right?

But you will lose a part of yourself.

[sighs]

if you two will excuse me.

Is the mediator here yet?

Still waiting on her and fred.

-Can we talk? -Yeah. Sure.

Fred osbourne, osbourne tactical.

Conference room's right there.

That's your conference room?

Is that a problem?

No, not at all.

It's cute.

Listen, I wanna know if we still have a deal.

I need it in writing that fred didn't fire leah for doing a bad job.

No settlement without admission of guilt for the wrongful termination.

Is that gonna be a problem?

[knocking on door]

-judge morrison's here. -Okay.

I'll try.

I'll see you in there.

Okay, here's how this is going to work,

just in case someone here has never done one of these.

Both parties have sent settlement statements, which I have read.

And if either party wants to make an opening statement,

you'll each have 15 minutes apiece to do so.

After that you'll go to your breakout rooms

and I'll zip back and forth,

and hopefully by the end of the day,

we'll have signatures on paper

and we can get on with our miserable lives.

Understood?

Everybody cool?

Let's get this party started.

Man, this box is going to be the death of me.

[chuckles]

what is in this?

Hair products.

Is that everything?

Yeah, I think so.

Hmm.

-I'm gonna-- I'm gonna go jump in the shower. -Oh, yeah?

-Mm-hmm. -I'll see you in there?

Oh, yeah. I hope.

[laughs]

[gordon] so, maia's gonna audition for that conservatory.

I wanna come support.

[gordon] ah... Baby, it's next week.

I think it's a little too much too soon.

You asked me to move in here.

I'm here...

-And this is a big thing for her, right? -Yeah...

And delilah is gonna have to get used to it at some point.

Look, this is a very important audition.

Which is why it's important I be there for her.

Look, I hear you, but...

Not this, not now.

So we don't upset delilah?

So we don't upset maia.

[sighs]

jesus.

Here's the first draft of the short form of the settlement agreement.

This doesn't say anything at all

about ms. Davis' firing.

Mr. Osbourne wants to focus on the future today, not the past.

Okay. We can tell him something about the immediate future.

We're not signing that.

No way.

-Can I see it? -No.

Well, what do you want it to say?

[woman speaking indistinctly on p.A.]

she's not gonna show up, is she?

Doesn't seem that way.

I'm sorry, but your wife's willingness

to promi to show up and...

Even 15 minutes before the meeting and then not...

Show, it's...

It's stunning!

Yeah. That's christine.

Can we do this without her?

I want her to see the options of these assisted living places

before I pick one.

Dion will be visiting.

She's gonna wanna have a say.

Could you give us a moment, please?

Oh, of course.

Francis and I...

Had a talk last night.

We want you and dion to come live with us.

You guys don't have enough room for me and dion.

She's at the house right now with a contractor,

looking to find how to turn the garage

into a... Kind of suite.

You'll have your own kitchen.

Course you could... Eat with us.

It'd be your choice.

[sighs]

I don't know what to say.

[sighs]

I know I wasn't there for you, son...

Or your sister.

In the past.

But I am so proud...

Of the man you've become.

Your service to the country.

But more than that...

How you have come through this

better than ever.

I wanna be in your life, son.

It's a selfish...

I'd just like to spend time with you and dion

with the years I have left.

I can't imagine... Spending them any other way.

What do you say?

Thank you.

No. Thank you.

New developments.

-[fred] time to regroup and sign? -Not quite yet.

Now, whether it's true or not or admissible

would be a matter of a jury or a judge to decide.

But ms. Connolly just showed me a report from a private investigator,

a mr. Mason cunningham,

saying that there were a number of wire transfers sent to pine city trust,

supposedly authorized by ms. Davis, are fakes.

And she says she has the proof.

She seems to think that me telling you this

would encourage you to consider appending the exonerating language

about ms. Davis' job performance into the agreement.

I don't know what the hell she's talking about.

This is nonsense.

Mr. Osbourne,

you sound like a boy

who's been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

Have you?

I'm only asking because

the more we pretend the truth isn't the truth,

the longer this is gonna take.

And if what you're holding back from saying right now is 'cause I'm here,

let me remind you I have what's called mediation privilege.

I cannot be compelled to testify in court about anything you say.

You know, it'd be nice to know what she means by proof.

I don't think she has any proof.

What kind of proof does she have?

Well, apparently...

Whomever fabricated the files failed to use the version of software

that was required on the date the transfer supposedly took place.

The files are fake news.

-What does she want him to say? -Here.

[tamara] "the litigants jointly agree that the plaintiff

is not terminated for lateness or insubordination."

before I ask this question,

I wanna remind you that you work for me right now.

I am your charge.

I completely understand that.

If we were to add this language to the agreement,

would that leave me open to attack?

Leah's gonna sign an expanded nda

and a host of releases, so no.

I'm not talking about leah.

And you know I'm not talking about leah.

It's exactly why I said what I said a minute ago.

Now, you tell me.

That little bitch in there might be your soul sister,

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

Should I let her add this paragraph into the agreement, yes or no?

No.

You shouldn't.

That feeling that you're having right now,

that's what it's like to be me every day.

Yeah, and win and everybody you think

-wants to keep you down. -Mr. Osbourne.

[fred] ms. Davis understands the terms of the agreement I'm offering.

As for ms. Connolly,

sure there's an ambulance nearby moving slow enough for her to chase it down.

Now let's get this over with.

I'm all for that.

-Look, never in your life-- -I'm gonna hit the head.

Remove that language and I'll sign it.

[door closes]

uh, so when do I get the check?

Once the long form has been signed.

My office can handle that.

That's fine.

In my experience,

there are two ways mediations like this end.

With both parties feeling empty and cheated

or with both parties feeling suicidal, murderous

or both.

Cheated and empty is a win.

[leah] well, dee, I...

I know this didn't turn out like you wanted it to,

but you will be getting a lot of money.

I'll call you when the long form is ready to sign, leah.

[clears throat]

ms. Roberts.

Mr. Osbourne.

I'll be in my office if you need me.

Thanks, demetria.

Dee...

It was never gonna happen.

Not without someone making it happen.

You're right about that.

He knew what you were doing with that language.

If I had advised him to allow it,

I'd be leaving myself open for malpractice.

You can't expect me to do that.

No, I see that now.

-Dee, you can't expect me-- -I heard you...

The first time.

[tamara] mmm.

It smells so good in here.

Do I detect the scent of...

-Short ribs? -Oh, yeah.

-Oh! -[laughs]

[music playing softly]

they just need a few more minutes in the broiler.

[exhales sharply]

we'll start with the salad.

This is so nice.

Did you come home early to do this?

[casey] yep.

I'll just going in early tomorrow.

Don't forget we gotta go see the venue in the morning.

-Win got us in there, so I don't wanna-- -no, hey!

We gotta have a little talk about your boy win.

What about him?

So, a few weeks ago, jamal gets a letter

on chamber of commerce letterhead

saying basically, "we already gave you people your 40 acres and a mule,

we don't plan on paying your reparations taxes.

So don't waste your time making it a law."

that sounds about white.

Yeah, well, guess who signed it.

No, better yet, guess who wrote it.

-Don't tell me win jr. -[chuckling]

[chuckles]

I'll go get it.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Slow your roll, mister.

It's right in the other room. I could get it, be right back.

We need to talk about raleigh.

Yeah, we could...

We could talk about that, too.

No.

Please sit.

That's right.

I'm right here.

I know you're here now.

But what were you doing there

last week?

Babe, I don't wanna lie--

and I don't wanna hurt you.

I need a pass, tam.

A pass?

Just this once.

This isn't high school, casey.

I'm not your hall monitor.

I need to know what you were doing there

all day and all night

and why you can't tell me.

I need you to trust me.

For me to keep trusting you,

I need to know what you were doing there.

Tam, I can't tell you just yet.

When can you tell me?

Soon.

I promise you.

Well, just so you know...

I need to know

before I jump that broom.

That's fair.

Will you please go and...

Get that letter?

Yes, ma'am.

- ♪ good morning ♪ -hey.

Did willington ever forward the old email from osbourne?

Just now, yeah, finally.

So, who ordered the missiles?

Gary shea.

Hmm.

So, we're back at square one.

Not entirely.

Take a look.

What is this number that it's copied to?

It's pretty long.

It's an internet number. I was...

About to call it myself, but you go ahead, okay.

[automated voice] you have reached a number that has been disconnected

or is no long--

find out what that number's to.

-I bet it's to rick pattingale. -I'm on it.

Would you mind going with me to the v.A. To meet nate?

Of course.

He needs a lawyer for this custody battle with his ex.

And I cannot do it for obvious reasons.

I don't want a stranger to do it, so...

No need to explain anything to me. I'm in.

Thanks for getting us in here.

Oh, I'm glad to be of service.

Um...

Case, can you give us a sec?

Yeah.

Yeah, I got a call I got to make.

Excuse me.

[door opens and closes]

am I in trouble again?

Casey showed me the chamber of commerce letter

that you and your father signed

about the reparations tax

and your disinterest in paying it.

We're taking issue with the tax, tam,

not with reparations per se.

A lot of people that signed that letter have confederate flags...

In their offices, win.

Confederate flags

-in their offices. -Look, I just fought like hell

to make you partner, didn't I?

I am not your reparations!

I didn't say you were.

I'm just saying my heart's in the right place.

-Dad's heart? Roughly. -No one

with their heart in the right place

would sign that letter.

What do you want me to do?

Get out of that confederate cabal.

Come out in favor of the tax.

Come out in favor of that man outside

that is the prime architect of the plan!

-I think you know I can't do that. -Win...

You need me.

Lockley is already being talked about like it's some...

Some racist enclave.

Get off of the white side

and get into the right side.

Or I'm...

I'm out.

It's gonna take a little time.

Getting your name off of that letter

is just a phone call. Don't bullshit me.

I'm not talking about the letter.

That's fine.

You're a partner now.

You can help me gently scoot my dad out of the firm,

and then together,

we can do whatever we want with it.

What kind of time are we talking?

Honestly?

-A year. Maybe two. -Two years?

Take it from someone with jr. At the end of his name, tam.

You've got to learn to love the long game.

I'm in.

So, if you and christine are selling the house,

where are you gonna live?

We're still working that out.

No, we're not.

Oh! That's news to me.

You found a place?

Dad invited me to live with him.

Great.

It is, dee. It's a good thing.

I know it is.

-I'm just saying-- -what?

I just hope that he doesn't think that

this is making everything better.

[nate] damn, dee!

He's trying his best.

-Mm. -When you gonna let that go?

Okay, I'm not trying to be all up in your business--

then don't.

You asked me to take the case, ms. Connolly.

Family dynamics are gonna come up.

Our father wasn't perfect.

-[nate] she still has-- -wasn't perfect?

-Yeah. -Okay.

He always put work before family.

He cheated on our mother and then left.

After which she ate and drank herself into a stroke.

And then she died right in front of me

while I was home alone with her.

I am sorry to hear that.

What was I? Twelve?

And then he sent us to live with our aunt bernice and hickory.

He was a beat cop...

Paying bills.

He couldn't raise two kids!

He never got us any presents for christmas,

for our birthdays.

He never called.

And he never saw either one of my children when they were born.

He must have felt terrible.

-Who? -Your father.

-Thank you. -[demetria] I mean, I don't know him,

but if it all went down the way you say it did,

he must have felt terrible.

That's no excuse.

No, it is not.

But it is an explanation.

Mm.

We should go.

-I'll see you later. -All right.

Thank you for your service.

Thank you.

Didn't mean to make you mad.

I'm not mad.

He didn't do anything wrong and I'm glad he's got somewhere to go.

[phone rings]

hello?

That number is associated with an internet provider in belize.

Belize?

Seriously?

That's where the offshore account linked to pine city trust is.

-I know where the account is. -Okay, still mad.

Is it rick pattingale's number?

[harper] well, it's no one's number.

But I called the internet provider

and asked them to pull the records on it for the past two years

so we can find out whose number it was.

They're gonna get back to me.

Where the hell is mace?

I don't know,

but someone from hr at veda nichols' company called

asking for a reference about him.

Is she that model?

[harper] u h, yeah. For a hot minute.

Then she got her mba, became a ceo...

And now she founded an ad-free subscription search engine.

Now that we have that weird number,

draft a motion to copy osbourne's email servers.

I'm sure a judge will do it now.

I'm on it.

[line ringing through]

-[delilah] hello? -Did I wake you?

No.

Just getting ready for bed. What's up?

I emailed the long form.

Yeah, I know. I saw that. Thank you.

Dee.

I really don't have it in me to talk about that case anymore.

Not right now.

[tamara] I know.

- I just wanted to remind you-- -yeah.

The engagement party is Saturday.

At the foundation for the carolinas.

I know.

Okay, well...

-Good night. -Good night.

[sighs softly]

[chuckling] ooh!

I never seen a check with this many zeros for...

Anybody...

Let alone me.

Now you know what your silence is worth.

Congratulations.

Oh, dee.

I'm sorry. I know you want me to be more like you,

more heroic.

But I'm still a good person.

I'm sorry to tell you this, leah...

But a good person wouldn't have kept so much information from me

and hung me out to dry so many times.

[knocking on door]

I'm sorry to interrupt.

We're just wrapping up.

This is super important.

We're not finished.

[sighs]

what's going on?

-I heard back from belize. -Okay.

Look at the last person to have that internet phone number.

Name's at the top of the list.

You've got to be kidding me.

Mm.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything is all right.

It's great.

Is that your name, leah, on the top of that list?

Or is it some other l. Davis

who's full of shit?

Yeah, it's me.

So, you knew this whole time!

Everything that I have worked hard to discover and prove,

you just already knew.

You already knew that there was proof

that fred knew about the problem.

You already knew that gary was the one who requested the missiles.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because I knew that you would make it all about trying to save the world.

Especially if you thought that nate had been harmed.

You brother? I...

Dee, that's not what I signed up for.

Why didn't you just walk then?

Because I deserve to get mine.

Gary got his!

So, why not me? Hmm?

You said it yourself.

Now I know how much my silence is worth.

It's worth a lot more than two weeks' pay.

So let me get this straight.

You knew about the problem,

that gary had a point about the c15,

and you went to fred about it?

And he was like, "you're fired."

so, I went to his house to tell him to his face,

"if you need me to stay silent about this,

you're gonna have to pay me."

like you did gary shea.

-And then his wife called the police. -Right.

And then, I came to see you.

And even you were on the fence about me.

Even you didn't believe me.

So, then I went to go see gary.

I figured, hey, maybe if I get a white man on my side

-delilah might listen to me. -Oh!

And gary was like, "we just had a brand-new baby. Handle your own shit."

so I did. And you know what?

It might be really sad,

but if gary hadn't have died,

you never would've taken this case.

I went to jail, leah!

I didn't ask you to steal those files.

I put in hours and hours.

I turned other cases away for this case.

I basically lost my best friend.

But you gained 30 percent.

So, don't stand there looking at me

like I'm the only one that's getting something out of this.

I gained 30 percent of the money.

But what I want is 100 percent of the justice.

You're gonna have to give me something.

And what if I don't?

Then you're gonna have to live with the fact that you didn't do anything

to help nate.

Or any of those other soldiers who were hurt or killed by that cover-up.

I can't testify.

The agreement says I can't.

All I need is something that says that fred knew.

That's all I need.

I know they wiped your phone and your laptop,

but you have to give me something.

If you can't do it for yourself or for me, do it for nate.

Okay, fine.

I'll do it.

For nate.

Dee...

Just so we're straight...

I did steal your boots.

I know.

Ms. Connolly.

To what do I owe this displeasure?

I want you to set up a fund

for the soldiers and families affected by the c15.

Who are you here on behalf of?

The truth.

I meant who's paying you?

Nobody.

But I've got an email

dated October 10, 2019.

It's from gary shea to you and rick pattingale,

proving that you knew about the problems with the c15,

that you knew raquel williams was testing them with the wellington missiles.

On that same day,

there were four accident reports filed by american soldiers

citing the c15 malfunctions as possible cause.

Three of those accidents resulted in deaths.

Where did you get this email?

Does it matter?

I have testimony from your pal rick pattingale,

who I finally found because of that email that I mentioned earlier.

Here's the thing, fred.

I don't want you to go to jail.

I just want you to do the right thing.

Can we just put this behind us?

The only way that you can put this behind you

is to put something bigger in its place.

How big?

I'd say a hundred million is a good place to start.

[chuckles]

well played, ms. Connolly.

You've got a deal.

You're not going to leave all the babysitting to francis, are you?

I think it'll all fall to me.

How are you gonna manage that, chief?

Tomorrow's my last day.

You didn't get fired for copying those hard drives for me, did you?

No.

No, I retired.

You said you'd never retire.

Things change.

I'm looking forward to having some free time, actually.

I'm not buying that story.

It's for the best. Let it go.

Maybe me and the kids could come by for dinner.

Once everything with nate gets settled.

I'd love that.

[nate] hey.

Hey, pop, it's okay. I'm gonna make this trip myself.

[applause]

aw.

[woman] nate!

Thank you.

Thank you.

[laughs]

thank you, guys. Thank you.

[man] best of luck to you, man.

[jazz playing]

dee! Over here!

Oh, my god! You look amazing!

-[tamara] thank you for coming. -Oh!

[tamara] and you guys look great.

Madam mayor!

It's so good to see you.

So good to see you again.

You know, I've been hearing so many great things about the work that you're doing.

We're so proud.

You are truly a gift to this community.

You are too kind. Thank you so much!

This is my son marcus.

And my daughter maia.

-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.

Madam mayor, these are two of the brightest lights

in the charlotte performing arts scene.

Maia is an amazing violinist.

And this little man right here can sing just like marvin gaye.

I am so sorry to interrupt, but, tam, can I borrow you for a second?

-Oh, sure. -Excuse us.

Excuse us.

Sheriff mcfadden, how you doing?

It's really an honor to meet you two.

You know, our city needs to have young people like you

to inspire us for our arts and culture.

So, I want you to know that when you're successful and famous,

we don't want you to go to new york or l.A.

Stay here and inspire your own hometown.

-Yes, ma'am. -We will. We promise.

-[man] oh, madam mayor. -Thank you so much. Excuse me for a moment.

Whoo! I'm getting in all my steps working this room, y'all.

And you're making it look good.

-Oh, don't I though? -[laughing]

hey, kids!

Come and meet congressman watt and his lovely wife eulada.

These are delilah's kids, marcus and maia.

-How are you? -[marcus] nice to meet you. I'm good. How are you?

-Hey. -Hi.

You look amazing.

Thank you!

I miss our dance lesson.

Hey, I'm available.

Good! 'cause I've been practicing.

-Oh, yeah? -Mm-hmm...

-Well, I can't wait to see what you got. -Okay.

[tamara] hey, guys! Meet jamal.

Hey. I'm the best man.

I'm marcus.

I'm maia.

-Hey. -Hey.

It's nice to meet you both.

You know he plays the piano.

[chuckles] she's trying to get me in trouble.

Let's see what you got.

-Oh! Okay! -[laughs]

all right then.

-Would you like to join us? -Okay.

[laughing]

[laughing heartily]

okay.

-I talked to win. -Mm.

[tamara] fred called him.

Girl, what did you do to that white man?

I got him to put his money where his mouth is.

But tonight is about you and casey.

So... We can talk about the fret of it all.

-And you and me? -Yes, you and me.

But later.

Tonight is a celebration.

[sighs] amen!

But I will say this.

You should have seen his face when I told him that I found rick pattingale.

You found rick pattingale?

-No... -[laughs]

see? A little bluffing goes a long way.

The place looks great, tam.

You two really outdid yourselves.

It was a labor of love.

[casey] michael, thanks for coming.

[michael] thanks for having me.

Happy?

Um, I've been better.

But we don't have to talk about that tonight.

What's going on?

[piano playing]

did that just happen?

Uh, yeah. I think it did.
