All language subtitles for Family Law S03E01.en

What preceded:

You have completed your probationary period.

I have an offer.
-One big, unhappy family.

You have a friend.

I don't want to
ruin our friendship.

You play no part in her life.

Everyone is allowed to change
their opinion or who they are.

I'm officially Harmony's mom.

I impose co-parenting.

You take turns living
in the parental home.

It went well more often than badly.

It often went great.

"Morning, Ralph." Then you say,
"Morning, Sam." Looney Tunes?

Wolf and the Sheepdog?
-I've got an appointment.

Where do you stay?
-Executive Studios, downtown.

Don't watch too much pay TV.
-I said hello to the kids.

They have to make
their bed every morning.

No phones at the
table, shoes off...

and no sugar after eight.

I am their mother,
not their nanny.

I printed out the instructions.
The refrigerator is full.

Complete everything before you go.

The bin has to go out on Tuesday.
And the downstairs toilet is broken.

The plumber comes
between two and four.

Then I'm not here.
I have a full working day.

Sorry, Abbie. It's your week.

Plumber.

I have to reschedule the
appointment at the Bianchi's for 2:00.

Same time next week?
Perfect. Thank you.

Oh, the fruits of my womb.

Soph, you like her.
-You ruined it.

I can't breathe.
-Get used to it.

Mama week is packed with hugs.

And children?

Let's not use the
downstairs toilet this week.

Running Man.

That's a classic.

But wait a minute, what
about 'The Sprinkler'?

How's that going?

It is impossible to
choose a best dance.

No, I know.

All right, the Carlton wins.
-Thank you.

I heard from Quinn last night.

He'll be back in a few weeks.

It's going to be hard for him.
He doesn't know anyone here.

We had just moved when
he got his next assignment.

Well then...

Our friendship is more important.

So let's just be
friends from now on.

Thanks friend.
- You're welcome, girlfriend.

That was the very last time.
We promised.

You've been promising it for two weeks.

We once promised it
four times an afternoon.

How critical are you.

Says the man who didn't
want to talk to me for two weeks.

I'm not cheating. Martina does.

That argument never holds up.

Would you take time off?

Yes, but I was bored to death.

That co-parenting
started today, didn't it?

Frank gave me a list of
"house rules" for my house.

Do you like your new house?
-I feel like a student again.

Two mugs, two plates,
separate mattress.

Maggie really took
everything, didn't she?

Shall we go to
IKEA with the kids?

Nico can get sick of
eating Swedish meatballs.

That seems fun.

I can find her like this.

No, I don't want to make it worse.

She kidnapped your child.

Her father said she's safe.
I need to give her some space.

Promise me, Abby.

No, no pinkies.
Look at me and say it.

Fine. I promise.

When Bryan's new
girlfriend came along...

Nina felt superfluous
and came home early.

You've already told us that 30 times.

But why did she seek
me out to tell that?

She didn't, she ran
into you by chance.

That's what she says.
-And she keeps rejecting you.

She still suffers from jet lag.

Svensson and Svensson.
-Good morning all.

Abigail, I'm sorry.

If I had known you were there,
I would have put on a bathrobe.

Please stop.
-That was one Hannah Darrow.

She comes at ten. -For whom?

No idea. -I.

I'm a partner, so I have priority.

Let me know when she's there.

You have to put an end to this.

They act like toddlers.

Ah, what rivalry
keeps them sharp.

Mr. Svensson? Hannah Darrow is here.

I'm coming.

He can leave in fifteen minutes.

Why are you here, Hannah?

My ex-husband is trying
to steal my property.

Your house? A car?

My unborn child.

Terry and I were married for 22 years.

We met at an astronomy club.

We got into a huge argument
about whether Pluto is a planet...

or a dwarf planet.

It became a dwarf planet
nine years later, so I was right.

Fascinating, but...
-It was so much fun.

We never argued.
We were that couple.

You know who all your friends envy?
-I remember that time.

Two years ago he
said, "Honey, I'm gay."

That must have been painful.

Six months later, he fell in love.

To Jean Paul.

And your unborn child?

We have two children, a
boy and girl aged 18 and 20.

Great kids.

They were conceived with IVF.

I wanted to go for a third
with our last embryo...

but Terry said no.
He was done with it.

Now he wants it so he and
Jean-Paul can have a surrogate mother.

He can want that,
but it won't happen.

Not without your permission.
-So you're helping me?

Yes of course.

Sign this agreement
and we'll make it official.

This is Hannah, my new client.

The inbox is full.
You cannot leave a message.

Knock Knock.

Irma, come on.

For someone who was off for
two weeks, you don't look good.

My neighbors are making my life miserable...

because I want their kids to be
quiet between eleven and four.

Then I take a nap.

I tell my taxi driver his English
is good and he freaks out.

It was a compliment.

I told my granddaughter to
take it easy on those bars.

Now I am persona non grata.

She's awful. -Then dump her.

I can't just turn a
client like them away.

She's paranoid and...
-I know you locked me up.

Talk about paranoid.
-It's true.

This is more like it.

Mother, you can't be here.
My work is my safe haven.

How are you? -I'm fine.

Than? -Daniel.

Is your mom still
hanging out somewhere?

In Guatemala, you mean?
No, she's back.

Her office doesn't run itself.
-Since you're here...

I have news.
I'm going to sell the house.

What?

I got an offer I
couldn't refuse.

Where do I go if I
don't have the kids?

You're 41, Abigail. Get it done.

Hello beauty.
I booked a table at CinCin.

She...
- Shut up.

I said nothing. -Already.

They seem happy.
-Yes that's right.

But we know how this ends.

Hey Nico.

You probably didn't know
that Pluto isn't a planet.

It's a dwarf planet.
Everyone knows that.

Where are my favorite boards?

Dad likes Nonna and
Nonno's tableware better.

Where are my cookbooks?
-What you never cook with?

I have ambitions.

And where are my other books?

And the mirror from Venice?
And my Jane Irwin statue?

My books, art, knick-knacks,
spare shoes, winter coats.

Even pictures of me.
He wants to erase my presence.

It's still my home
and my children.

But you still have your stuff.

And your children.
-Come on, Lucy. I did not mean...

Do you know the woman who
cried because she had no shoes...

until she saw the woman without feet?

The woman without shoes
is allowed to be angry.

Especially if her ex dumped
them in a box in the garage.

Things are looking good this month.
Abby already has ten new clients.

She stole one from me yesterday.

How did she do that?
-She locked me in my office.

You sound like someone from QAnon.

By the way, new clients are good
for the firm and therefore also for us.

Include your sister in the profit sharing...

was one of my better ideas.
It keeps her hungry.

If she carries on like this, she'll
make more money than you.

Jean-Paul always wanted children.

No one is stopping you, Mr. LaRoche.

Use your sperm, or Mr. Martin's
and a surrogate mother.

Given his age, Terry will
produce fewer viable embryos.

Plus Jean-Paul's family history.

Miss Darrow never has to
pay or interact with the child.

So she's cut out of the picture?
She remains the biological mother.

Please, the chance of success
is much higher with this embryo.

Look at our two
beautiful children.

Precisely. We made those.

And thanks to you, we no longer exist.

My client has suffered enough.
Our answer is no.

We hoped things could be done differently.

The contract Hannah
and Terry signed says...

that either side can claim
the embryo, and that's Terry.

We'll let you discuss.

I begged him for a third child.

I thought he didn't
want another child.

But he didn't want
another child with me.

We can fight this, right?
-Naturally.

You've done this kind
of thing before, right?

Not her, but Daniel Sven...

I'm going to fight for you. I promise.

She wanted a third
child, but he refused.

If it were up to him, she would
have to bear a child against her will.

She no longer has
control over her body.

Her body?
It's been in a freezer for years.

She doesn't have
to carry it or raise it.

It will be her child.
-Imagine having a child...

with whom you have no contact.

Harry's parenting
experience in a nutshell.

It's also his DNA.
That should also count.

Harvesting eggs is
more difficult and painful.

Mr Martin just had
to 'harvest' in a cup.

And you?
You must have an opinion on this.

You were a fertility
expert, weren't you?

'Fertility law expert'.

Your client, not mine.

The thing is, according
to a dated contract...

can hannahs ex use the embryo.

That is difficult.

When I look at previous
cases, it goes in all directions.

Do you know the Personhood Movement?

Groups that claim that
embryos are not property?

Then Terry would win.

But in Munro v. Bennett...
- I know.

...was the ruling that his right
to remain fatherless outweighed.

Then Hannah would win.

Can you think aloud anywhere
else? I have work to do.

I have to win this for Hannah.
And...

I need your help.

Okay. I will help you.

Thank you.

If I may declare the hours.
-We split them fifty-fifty.

60-40, last bid.

Fine. -Show me the papers.

I was thinking of a
pro-abortion argument.

Why open a political cesspool?

What do you suggest?

We're going back
to where you started.

This contract is dated.
-So you say...

We poke holes in the paperwork.
-yawn. Fine.

But yawn.

I am your child, mother.
Not your slave.

I hope my reward for
bringing you into the world...

after 36 hours of labor and 12
stitches, is that you are both forever.

If I ever write my
memoirs, you won't enjoy it.

Mom, I'm hungry.
We always eat at six o'clock.

Good. Okay, dinner's coming.

Delicious pasta and
homemade bolognese sauce.

Homemade by our father.
-Where's the salad?

Dad always makes
a salad, for the fiber.

Here. Your fibers, sir.

I was thinking.

Shall we eat in front of the TV tonight?

As reward.
-Dad doesn't allow that.

Dad isn't here, Mom is.
So mom sets the rules.

We are not allowed to
put our feet on the table.

I bought this coffee table.
So feet up or no dessert.

I found Maggie.

Mom?

I'm exhausted.

We cycled ten
kilometers around the dike.

At a very slow pace.

Craig likes to enjoy the view.

I have some leftovers...

and a very cool
bottle of orange wine.

Martina, what are we doing?

Don't know. I haven't
seen Quinn in four months.

Our conversations are tense...
That's no excuse.

I don't want to be like that.
That's not fair to him or you.

I'll make it easy.
I'm going home.

Then you can think
about what you want.

I know what I want.

I am so proud of you.
You have set boundaries.

Yeah, and then I stared
at my phone all night...

hoping she would contact me.
Includes 'You Belong With Me'.

Oh, you're a Swifty.
You know what they say.

Let go of her. When she comes
back, she's yours. Or else...

Tracking and delivery.

I have to tell you something.
Maybe you get angry.

I know that.
-I wasn't allowed to do this.

This is the sequel.

I had my detective find
Maggie and Harmony.

And this is the trilogy.
-You promised so.

Do you want to see the photos or not?

They're with Maggie's
mother in Florida.

Now we can do something.

We're having Maggie arrested
and charged with kidnapping.

Then you get full custody.

Are you crazy? I do not want that.

She is Harmony's mother.
-You too.

Abby, I mean it.
Do not you dare.

She'll call when she's ready.

Don't mention it.

Emily appeared in my dreams.

After ten years I still
miss her very much.

My friends tell
me to forget her...

but grief has no schedule.

I could feel her rough
little tongue on my face.

Jesus Christ.

What did you say?
-It's a cat. Get over it.

Irma, I'm so sorry.
That went too far.

Same time next week?

That Lucy let her go.

Do they go to Disney
World every weekend?

Aidan. We're going to lunch.

My God, you're blushing.

Not at all. -Yes.

Little Daniel is in love. Who is she?
Did she fuck our dad?

Your mother does.

Hey, Rose.
Which courtroom are we in?

Courtroom A.
With the shy Deerchild.

He has been hesitating between a
bagel and a muffin for fifteen minutes.

Conclusion: the wording
in the contract is clear.

Mr Martin is entitled to
the embryo for reproduction.

He exercises that right.
That was it.

Mr. Svensson?

The language in this
contract would not hold now.

And the other party
misinterprets it.

The couple was entitled
to the embryo together...

whether one of them
died as a partner.

It wasn't for one party...

against the will of
the other living partner.

Current contracts
require mutual consent.

Maybe, but the
contract remains binding.

Not if one party did not
understand the terms.

Today, these documents
contain three options:

Donate, donate for
research, destroy.

We don't want Mr Martin
to use the embryo...

without Miss Darrow's
permission and that it be destroyed.

I have plenty to do at lunch.

Except chew.

I'll make a ruling later this afternoon.

Would you rather destroy our
embryo than wish us happiness?

Karma is a bitch.
-Hannah, please.

Buy some French
bulldogs with Jean-Paul.

Objection. Inflammatory.

And stereotyping.

She is terribly bitter.

I've seen it with friends.

Infatuated one day...

and the next day want
to beat each other up.

I've wanted to beat up
Frank more than once.

Just yesterday.

Sofia Vergara's ex wanted
their embryos too, right?

Yes, and he lost.

I find it fascinating
that you know that.

I am an expert on Vergara.

You need to know...

that I wouldn't reject her.
-I dare to risk it.

Why would anyone
want a new family so late?

Her ex must be in her 40s.

He has met his
second great love.

That wouldn't be enough for me.

But never say never, right?

Sorry, Aidan, but I can
100 percent say "never."

Not a good idea for
your newest flame...

to be brought to court.
-This is...

His other fuck buddy is my mom.

Abigail, this is Sabrina Bass...

soon to be Connery
Bass's ex-wife.

Well...

With Harry Svensson you are always
in the right place. He's the very best.

Thank you for lunch.
Maybe I'll call.

But probably not.

Have you gone crazy?

She is entering a
long, nasty divorce.

We can use that for years to come.

Why would you immediately
think of such things?

Maybe because you are.

You pack everyone.
-People change.

Some people do.
Stop it. Right now.

Before my mom gets
more feelings. Give her that.

Give me that.

Because I need to pick up the
pieces of her broken heart. Again.

This was a tricky one.

Embryo ownership and control
are complex and rapidly changing.

Usually the court
rules against the party...

wanting to procreate...

but other courts have
bucked that trend.

And hell, if both arguments
don't make sense...

I doubted this for a long time.

So doubtful.

I've decided that the only
responsible decision is...

maintaining the
original contract.

So my ex is having my
child and I can't help it?

Sorry, the judge has decided.
-There is something.

If the original contract applies...

you also have the right
to the embryo to procreate.

What he says is less
bad than it sounds.

Abigail convinced our client
to have a revenge baby.

We must act in the
best interest of the client.

How is a revenge
baby best for her?

Stop it, Hannah always
wanted a third child.

That way she is in control.
- She bullies her ex.

That's what this company was built on.

A client sank his yacht
because he disliked his wife.

Look at it from her side.

Why can he have
everything and she nothing?

He kept his secret for years...

and used her as a prop.

How old is Hannah? -Late 40s.

A geriatric pregnancy
can be risky.

Hopefully it won't work.

Abigail, your legal advice
was morally questionable.

Thank you. -But also creative.

You must appear in court again.

So more billable hours.
I don't see any downside.

I'm not participating in this.
Keep the hours.

I've been hiding something for years.

- I didn't mean...
- But I never used Eleanor.

I didn't say anything because I
didn't want to hurt her feelings.

You may not believe it...

but maybe Hannah's ex kept it
a secret because he loved her.

Maybe still, in his own way.

Maybe.

Or he's one of those selfish
jerks who puts himself first.

Applied Psychology Conference?

Yes, last May.
You are Dr. Garcia.

Just say Kelly.

Your lecture on patterns of
behavior within families was superb.

Hello all.
Welcome to Boxing for Beginners.

Everyone make groups of two.

Pack gloves and protectors.

What am I doing here?

My girlfriend talked me into it
and then left me to suffocate.

The right technique comes later.

I want to see what you can do first.
So don't just punch.

Strike through.

And what are you doing here?

Is someone nine months sober?
-Big C.

Ten months?

Congratulations, Abigail.

Did I miss someone?

You have forgotten me.

Pam's getting a locket tonight.
-Well done, Pam.

Three years sober.

I bought a cake.

My sponsor would
bake one, but...

we've all tasted
what Ruth bakes.

I'm sorry I got carried away.

It's okay.

May I ask you something?

Are you okay?

You must be very proud.

Pretty.

The hard work is over.

Ah, grasshopper, the
hard work is just beginning.

You are ready for step four.

And that is?

Moral inventory.

A written assessment of
your life, including your flaws.

They do fit on a post-it.
-Is that right?

This way you can discover
unhealthy behavior patterns.

As?
-Why is your approach always...

'an eye for an eye',
instead of 'turn a blind eye'?

And why do you always
have to quote the Bible?

My sister just said...

that she wants to hand
over my ex for kidnapping.

That sounds like a movie.

I took all that and
broke a cardinal rule.

I let my personal
baggage influence my work.

It's a lot of personal baggage.

Every psychologist
wants to do what you did.

But they don't. I'm afraid
she's filing a complaint.

She likes to do that.

She lives on money from a
lawsuit against her dentist.

She sounds like a nightmare.

Sounds like she's a narcissist
who likes to hear herself talk.

She's bound to come
to her next appointment.

In the meantime,
be kind to yourself.

Watch drama movies,
but don't be a drama movie.

How are you?
-Thank God there's lorazepam.

Do you want to hear something weird?

Today is our wedding anniversary.
-You are kidding me.

Every year we went to
Porteau Cove to celebrate.

We brought champagne and pizza.
-Hannah, I'll see you inside.

How was your week?
-Fine, not because of you.

All my stuff was gone.
Have an exorcist come too?

Sorry, Abbie. I had forgotten that.
I did it a long time ago.

I couldn't stand all
those memories of you.

I should have put them back.
I still do.

Too late, I've already done it.

I am really sorry.

Will I see you tonight?

See you tonight.

How was the plumber?
-I really have to go.

This is a waste of time.

Miss Darrow doesn't want a baby.
She just wants to punish her ex.

Stand by your previous statement
and award my client the embryo.

I'm calling Terry Martin as a witness.

Mr. Martin, is it true that
Hannah wanted a third child?

Yes. -And you refused?

Objection.
He can change his mind.

You left her after 22
years of marriage...

that was based
on secrets and lies.

Objection. Speculation.
-Assigned.

But I admit I care.
-It wasn't a lie.

I come from a strict religious family.

For years I forced myself
to believe I was straight.

And now you still want a
third child, but not with her.

And she, the biological mother,
should have nothing to do with it.

I have a thousand objections.
-No, I want to answer.

I want Hannah involved,
but she made it clear...

that she doesn't want anything from us.

Crazy, huh?
She was your cover for years.

Not true. I love her.

I still love you.

Not only did you lose
something when we broke up.

You were my best friend.

Can we get back to business?

Good idea.
-Fine. To the point.

Terry and Jean-Paul have
reproductive options and better chances.

Hannah is in her late 40s and
still has three percent of her eggs.

Three percent.
This embryo is her last chance.

No more questions.

Thank you, Mr. Martin.

This case has been a roller coaster ride.

And no matter what decision I make,
someone isn't going to leave here happy.

But I have heard the arguments
and agree with Miss Bianchi.

I'm awarding the embryo
to Miss Hannah Darrow.

Congratulations.

How do you feel? -Not good.

Bad. Very bad.

Who am I kidding?
I am 48, I am alone.

Having a baby was hard enough...

when I was 20 years
younger and we were together.

May I notice something?

I know he hurt you,
but after what I heard...

is it clear that
he still loves you.

Just not the way a
man loves his wife.

He took my best years away from me.

Is that right? Honestly...

it sounded like a great marriage.
Better than most.

Maybe he didn't say it
because he loved you.

Nina texted back.

Coffee before work?

Thursday or Friday next week?'
Who's in the spotlight now?

Do I really have to answer that?

Good morning.

I'm here for Harry Svensson.
-Do you have an appointment?

Excuse me, "appointment"?
-Miss Bass.

Glad you're here. This way.

I've checked some
facts and I want to sign.

A wise choice.
-But your crazy daughter stays away.

That's no problem.

I want the house in Palm Springs...
- Write it down, Cecil.

...the Tuscan villa,
'Greased Lightning'...

Racehorse.
-The Riopelles, Warhols and Rothkos.

paintings.
-And cook, butler and driver.

Dogs?

The inbox is full.
You cannot leave a message.

A man in the elevator
got mad because I said...

that his aftershave
hurt my nose.

Is it my fault he stinks?

Irma, I'm so glad to see you.

Interesting outfit.

It's amazing how you
don't care about others.

What we have agreed so far...

is that the parties together look
for a suitable surrogate mother.

And both parties agree
to the access arrangement.

There goes my cocktail hour.

The basics are clear.
The details will come later.

Happy wedding day.

Or non-wedding day?

You can burn it.

Did you see what I did there?
Everyone still has their eyes.

You probably have
a proverb for that.

Hey Nico. -Mom.

What is that sound?

I forgot what you said
about the downstairs toilet.

Do you want to eat early?
My boxing class doesn't start until seven.

I can not. I have to drop
something off at a friend.

Which friend?
-It's not like that.

I ordered shrimp risotto
from Provence Marinaside.

It's only available for two
weeks and it's Martina's favourite.

I bring food and go again.
That's not weird.

Trust me, this is dangerous.
-No, this is risotto.

Good evening, Ralph.
-Good evening, Sam.

How did it go? -Fine. Good.

How was the aparthotel?

adequate. Beige.
A little lonely.

See you in a week.

The kids say that as long as
the new house has a pool...

it's okay if you sell this house.

And you? Will you forgive me?

I will miss that place.

Your room is still
available for a whole month.

It does not matter.
Lucy offers her guest room.

And besides, I don't run into
Harry naked in the kitchen there.

Yes, your father told me about
your outburst at Sabrina Bass.

That's why I wanted to talk to you.

It may seem nice now, but
someone is going to get hurt.

And that will eventually be you.

Hello, two of my favorite women.

What are you doing here?

I invited him because
we have news.

The buyers want to close quickly
and I'm going house hunting.

She moves in with me.
-Until I get a new house.

I really did my best.

We are not children.
-These are the basic rules:

Neither of you talk
to me about the other.

Nothing about your last fight.

I don't even want to
hear the good things.

If you break up, or when…

Don't let me force
you to pick a side.

Where are you going?
We haven't ordered yet.

Don't you dare say
anything to Nico or Sofia.

They are devastated
if this goes wrong.

You were right.
My client really came.

A blessing and a curse?
-How can I thank you?

You treat yourself this time.

You must be Daniel.
