Bitch.

Fucking bitch.

I know where you live.

I know where your family...

This is for Maia Rindell.

I'm gonna rape you and your dyke girl...

Hi. Good morning.

And fuck you. You stole my money.

I just want you to hurt like I do.

Hi, it's my first day here.

And, I'm not too sure where to g...

- Maia Rindell?
- Yes!

You okay?

Yes! Just, um...

Hi.

Julius Cain.

I'm the managing partner here.

Let me show you to your desk.

We have 55 associates
and 40 work stations,

so we employ a hot desk system.

Occupy any empty chair
in the communal area,

but keep your laptop with you
because you might be returning

to a different space when you come back.

Go ahead.

Good.

At 10:00, I'm gonna need
you at the SWSMU offices,

so meet me at reception in 20 minutes.

The what?

One of our union contracts.

Once a month, we offer their members

pro bono service as
part of our retainer.

20 minutes.

Did you hear that, Diane?

I... yes. I just can't believe it.

They're withholding my
capital contribution?

They say they have
to review your tenure.

What tenure?! I was a name partner.

I created that firm.

- It's my money.
- I'm sorry, Diane.

Do I have any reserves?

If you sell your apartment.

I can't do that.

Well, you can always
talk to your new partners,

and see if they'll offer you a loan.

We tried to call you at home.

- Because?
- We're moving you down the hall.

There's a new partner.

We have to make room.

Diane?

Yep.

See, it's not so bad.

Home sweet home.

And I'm gonna need you
at the SWSMU this morning.

Why? I did it last month.

Yes, and you were so good at it, too.

Good morning.

Sharise.

Come on, come get this.

Come get this. Come get this!

How that college search coming?

All-consuming. Twins, you know.

Yeah, I hear you.

Any word on the Kendall offer?

They called this morning.

Who? David Lee?

Yes, sir.

We're getting our six mill.

Diane here yet?

Yeah, she's in with Barbara.

She is?

I heard you speak at an ABA
conference a few years ago.

- Yes. On racial hiring?
- That's right.

Well, I hope I didn't
embarrass myself too much.

Not too much.

Diane Lockhart.

I feel like we acquired

our very own Jimmy Butler right here.

- Adrian, how are you?
- Good, good.

A little gift for you.

Spring Arbor Lake Wine,

my very own label, 2006. Mwah.

You have a winery?

Just a row of vines,
that's all. Sit, sit.

So how's everything going with you two?

- Barbara give you the rundown?
- She did.

Are you two playing nice?

- We are, Adrian.
- Good.

By the way, just
a housekeeping matter,

but we'll need your capital
contribution by next week.

Yes, of course.

Um, just so you know,

my old firm is being a bit intransigent.

Yeah, David Lee.

- Wonderful guy.
- So, um,

if you don't mind being a bit patient.

Of course.

But listen, I'll need you
in the 11:00 a.m. meeting

to pitch cases to our
litigation financiers.

Right.

- Well, good. I'll see you there.
- You will.

Diane.

- Welcome.
- Thank you.

And how patient are we to be?

Let's give her two weeks.

- Hello?
- Just plugging in your computer.

Are you from Lockhart, Deckler?

Lee, Lyman, Deckler, Gussman...

Well, that didn't take them very long.

I know. Bunch of assholes.

- Marissa?
- Yeah, hey.

Want me to set up anything else?

- No, I can do it.
- No, let me.

If I get back too quick,

they'll just send me
out on another errand.

Here, I'll hang these.

When Alicia hired me,

I was supposed to be involved
in cases and everything,

but it's been all moving
boxes since she left.

Still want this?

Definitely.

And, where do you want these?

- What are those?
- African masks.

Well, I can see that.
Where are they from?

Your office.

No.

David Lee. Very funny.

By the way, I know you
still need an assistant, Diane.

- Hello.
- This is Marissa,

from my old firm.

Hi. Just dropping stuff off.

Well, I have a few
people coming in today

for possible assistants.

I'll send them by.

Thank you.

Okay, I don't want to
sound self-serving here,

but I think it's a smart
move for you to hire me.

Good to know. Thank you.

No, seriously. You need an assistant.

I can do whatever you want around here,

and I'm not that expensive.
What are you paying?

Why don't you just leave
your résumé, Marissa?

I don't have one. I'm much
better in person, anyway.

Look, just hire me for one day,

just until you get someone better.

And I promise you won't
get someone better.

You limit your
pro bono consultations

to 20 minutes each.

If their legal issues require
more time, go to Lucca.

She will sign off on more time.

Remember, you're only here

to offer legal advice, not legal work.

Don't get tied down.

Move people on into other

legal resources when you can:

Prairie State or Legal Assistance.

You're the "door close"
button in the elevator.

Comforting, but not
necessarily effective.

Here we go.

Okay, members,
listen up, listen up.

Remember these lawyers are
here as union advocates,

so please limit your
questions to workplace matters.

Only workplace matters.

Okay, who is here on their work
break, please raise your hand.

Come on.

Donny, I know it's your
day off. Get your hand down.

Only people on their lunch break.

Come on, you're only screwing over

your union brother and sister.

Good.

Those on lunch break,
come on up to the stage.

Line up for each desk. Let's go.

You're seriously telling me
I have to go to someone else

on my lunch break?

The thing is, ma'am,
we're not really here

to help with family law issues,

but, I can refer you to...

He's not paying child support!

How am I supposed to make ends
meet if he won't pay child support?

I know, I'm sorry. It's just...

Well, I'm not really
supposed to help with...

Then why are you here?

If you can't help, why are you here?

I need help.

Hello.

Come on.

I'm gonna help you out here.

Thank you.

Sir, would you like to come to my desk?

No, I'm good here.

I'm a third-year associate.
She just passed the bar.

That's okay.

I'm sticking.

Next?

I, I just can't survive on $400 a week.

I can't pay for my rent.

I can't pay for my ex-wife.

And they're not adjusting
it for after taxes.

They're just taking
it right off the top.

I-I'm sorry, I don't understand.

You're... you're being paid $400 a week?

Yeah.

Wait, no.

And my rent is twice that. Okay?

- Do you need to get that?
- No.

- No. It does that.
- _.

Yeah, mine, too.

You know, I used to get some good news,

but now I feel like it's all bad.

I don't even like answering it nowadays.

So, um, I'm sorry,

I'm, I'm not too sure

how they were able to lower your salary.

Not lower. Garnish.

They're saying that I
stole 400 running shoes.

- What? 400 running shoes?
- Yeah.

And they say that's
$70,000, but that's retail,

and they don't pay retail.
They just pay wholesale,

- so it should be half that.
- Wait, I'm sorry.

Could-could you start again?

Okay.

My store says that
I stole 400 running shoes.

And did you?

No, I've never stolen
anything in my entire life.

But they're garnishing my
wages for the retail amount,

and it should be the wholesale amount.

That's double what I should pay!

But if you didn't steal anything,

why are you letting them
garnish your wages at all?

Because I signed a confession.

I don't understand. Why did he confess?

They pressured him to.

They threatened to
fire him if he didn't.

He just wants them to charge him

the wholesale amount and
not the retail amount.

And he wants to go to
arbitration for that?

Well, his contract requires
that he go to arbitration.

But he wants me to represent him.

I just need you to sign me off

on two more hours work.

You know this is just pro bono?

Right? It's a goodwill gesture.

- We're not here to right a wrong.
- No, I know, but...

it's only two hours work.

I want to do it.

When's the arbitration?

This afternoon.

Okay.

Good luck.

Everything good with you?

Yeah.

Yeah, for the first
time in a while... yes.

It's good when you can focus
on someone else's problem.

First place I've been
I wasn't recognized.

This is our
highest priority case.

It's a hanging in a
jail cell... Holly Orlin.

You'll find a Chicago
Tribune article on top there.

This is the worst Cook County jail abuse

I have seen in years.

So, we're suing for $12 million,

but we do expect
settlement before trial.

- Any videotape?
- No.

But we have a very sympathetic family

and a grieving widower.

So, all we need of your
financing is $300 thousand.

No. Thanks, though.

Our algorithm is going
cool on police suits.

You sure about that?

What else?

Well, I think that,
Diane, our newest partner...

she just joined us from
Lockhart, Deckler & Gussman...

can speak to a new case.

We've been looking
into parole abuses.

Some parolees have been rejected

for, punitive reasons.

I think my partner worries
there's no money there.

That depends on how
vulnerable the State feels.

No. It depends on the trend.

The trend is against you.

Look, now we understand you have
your little algebraic spells,

but we understand the system.

And you'll get ten
percent of our earnings.

Why don't you let us
help you make some money?

What else have you got?

Malpractice?

It's a malpractice suit.

- Excuse me.
- Yeah.

- Second page.
- What's wrong?

Someone here to see you. Lenore Rindell.

- Where?
- In your office.

You want me to get rid of her?

What do you need, Lenore?

- I-I came to see Maia.
- She's out.

She's not talking to me,
she's not answering my calls.

My guess is her lawyer told her not to.

Can you talk to her, Diane? Please.

No.

Why?

I don't know what bubble
you're living in, Lenore,

but you do see my office here?

You do see that I am not retired,

that I am still working.

This wasn't us. This was Jax.

This is his Ponzi scheme, not ours...

You want to have an honest
conversation here, then let's have it.

I came to you last week
and asked for my money back,

so that I could buy my dream
house, and what did you say?

- We didn't...
- No, I want to hear you say it.

- What did you say?
- This wasn't us.

You said keep it in your
account, and borrow on it.

I could've had my money back.

I...

I think it's a good idea that you go.

Diane, look at me.

I'm innocent.

Henry's innocent.

You are a defense lawyer.

Why can't you extend
us the same courtesy

you do your other clients?

We are wrongly accused.

Just because the Feds say it

doesn't make it true.

I'll tell Maia that you dropped by.

I know I shouldn't ask this, but...

Henry needs your help.

He's in jail and no one will visit him.

His lawyer's advising
him to plead guilty,

but I don't think he should.

He's your oldest friend, Diane.

Will you talk to him?

So it's like a trial?

Yes, just answer honestly.

That's all you have to do.

And if I lose?

Well, there's no appeal, so...

if you lose, you lose.

Frank Gwinn.

Here.

Go ahead. You're the lawyer?

Yes, from Reddick, Boseman &...

- Good, I'm the arbiter.
- Kolstad...

Let's hear it.

And this is Benji Diyardian

from BMI's loss-prevention department.

He questioned me.

- Let's hear it.
- I...

Good afternoon.

Frank's employer, BMI,

a sporting good store
with $12 billion in assets

and franchises throughout the country...

Yeah, I-I don't need that.

Right. Um...

They have accused my client of stealing

400 running shoes from their back-stock.

- 417.
- Objection.

Okay, um,

- and he didn't do it, right?
- That is correct, sir.

He did not do it.

What do you need, ma'am?

I'm here as an observer for the union.

Why?

We just want to make
sure everything's fair.

Okay, keep going, miss.

My client did not steal any shoes.

He has no record and
yet the company, BMI,

have chosen to garnish
his salary by almost 40%.

We didn't garnish
anything, he confessed.

No, excuse me, sir,
you'll have your chance.

Um, this is a massive,

$12 billion company

stealing half my client's pay.

Stealing, really? We have
his confession on the record.

No, he was forced to confess.

- He was told if he did not confess...
- He was not told anything.

If he did not confess,
then he would be fired.

Frank, how long did
this man question you?

- Seven hours.
- Without break.

He was told he could not leave the room.

Only because he's an employee
and he was on the clock.

Let me see the confession.

Would the union rep like to see it, too?

I would, thank you.

Mr. Arbiter, as you read
that, please remember

that he was forced to
sign that confession.

I never forced anyone.
This is the Friedman method.

- I never diverged once from it at all.
- The what?

The Friedman method, it's
a process of questioning

I was trained and certified in.

Sir,

is this your signature?

Yes.

Then in exercise of powers
conferred under Clause 25

of the agreement entered
into between the parties,

judgment is made in
favor of the respondent.

Wait, w-what? What, that's it?

Thank you, I'll see
the next arbitration.

- But he didn't do it!
- I'll see the next arbitration.

False imprisonment.

Mr. Arbiter, we ask
that the arbitration...

be reopened...

based on the matter
of false imprisonment.

- Come on...
- My client was held

against his will for seven hours,

in direct contravention
of... everything.

The issue of false
imprisonment is irrelevant.

Judgment is again made in
favor of the respondent.

That's not your decision to make, sir.

Excuse me?

The arbitration agreement
with Ms. Rindell's client

does not cover tort claims.

And false imprisonment is a tort claim.

- Then we are stalemated.
- No, we're not.

- And why is that?
- Because we'll see you in court.

Henry.

How are you?

Rupert tells me I should
accept a guilty plea.

20 years.

What do you think?

I think this is bad, Hank.

Yeah, you and I, Diane,

we always told each other the truth.

No matter where... in college, after,

before Lenore.

And I'm telling you the truth now.

I did not do this.

Hank, what am I
supposed to do with that?

I am bankrupted, completely.

Two months ago, I hired
a forensics accountant

to look into Jax's trades.

There was $83 million missing.

The accountant found
Jax had moved the money

into his private account.

I tried to confront
him, but before I could,

Jax went to the Feds to turn me in.

You should be telling this
to your lawyer, not to me.

I did, but Rupert
said it doesn't matter.

There are too many bad facts.

Okay.

Let me look into another lawyer.

- Why not you?
- No.

You need someone objective.

How's Maia?

- She's doing well.
- Good.

She's on a case.

She's gonna blow us all away.

Did she see her mom?

No.

I think it's best that she stay away

until all this gets straightened out.

But that could be years.

I know.

Lenore didn't tell you?

Tell me what?

She doesn't have years.

Her breast cancer, it's back.

Spread to her lymph nodes.

Maybe I should go see her.

I'd talk to your lawyer first.

You don't think I should go see her?

No, it's just...

I think you should be careful.

She misunderstood my
intent, or she ignored it,

but we just don't have time for this.

And we raise expectations

for what our firm can do!

Lucca.

It seems we picked up
a new case this morning.

I told you we didn't want to get
tangled up in small-ball litigation.

This is not small-ball.

BMI has $12 billion in assets...

Yes, and there won't be
any punitive damages here.

- But we don't know that.
- We do know that.

This is one union member,

and we're about to put
in 40 billable hours,

to get him what, $20,000 in back pay?

Is this about you losing
your office to a partner?

No.

This is about a good case.

Hey, do you know what
the Friedman Method is?

The Friedman Method?

Yeah, it's a way to
interrogate a suspect... why?

It's a case I'm on.

How do I find out more about it?

Easily, they have seminars.

Just look them up online.

You pay the money, and you, too,

can learn how to be a cop.

Good to know.

Okay. I got to go, bye.

- We're being shut down.
- What?

They're worried the case is too small.

You're kidding.

I was just about to sign
up for a Friedman seminar

to find out more.

You know what, do it anyway.

It's on our time.

Why not?

Okay.

People lie.

And when people lie,
they want to confess...

it's human nature.

Your job... you and you and you...

is to enable that process.

You are a crucial step
to their cleansing.

What you will learn over
the next four sessions

is the Friedman method.

A way to determine guilt...

and obtain a confession.

One of these four people is lying.

They all deny taking
money from a cash register,

but one of them did.

The first step in the Friedman Method is

ascertain guilt.

Find out who is lying.

Look, I didn't do it.

I wasn't even there. That's the truth.

Pretty convincing?

But ignore the words.
They're irrelevant.

Everybody swears they're innocent,

but no one can hide their face.

No one can hide their expressions.

The most important thing is to get
the suspect to look right at you

and repeat the statement over and over.

Let's watch it again.

I'm going to slow down the image.

Look, I didn't do it.

I wasn't even there...
I wasn't even there.

- That's the truth...
- There!

Right there. See? Under his lip?

The risorius muscle.

It's part of the expression of fear.

When we are experiencing anxiety,

the risorius muscle will become tense.

Look for it.

I wasn't even there.

- That's the truth.
- See?

Clenched muscle.

Good. Another telltale sign
of anxiety, the forehead.

When there is a burst of anxiety,

these muscles will tighten up,

the eyebrows will rise upward,

only for a second... see?

The liar wants to force his expressions

to look relaxed, in control.

Therefore, the expression
you're looking for

is fleeting, momentary.

Do you think that's true,

the way to discover a liar?

No, it's bad psychology.

How do you mean?

"Ignore the words"?

Seriously?

How does someone prove their innocence

without explaining why they're innocent?

And he says it's all
about detecting anxiety.

Well, I don't care how innocent you are,

if a cop calls you in for questioning,

you're gonna be anxious.

So what does anxiety prove?

What if there is no cop?

What if there is no
reason to be anxious?

I don't know. Everybody's different.

Everybody's got their tell. I don't...

What?

This isn't a small thing.

This is a massive class action.

Every multi-billion
dollar nationwide retailer

is sending middle-management
to these seminars...

East Wing Running Shoes,
Widespread Tech, B&X...

I thought these seminars
were about training cops.

That's how they were intended,

but retail stores are
using the same techniques

against their own employees,

and it's just as likely to
result in a false positive.

Barbara, what do you think?

It's good.

Go certify a class.

We should put Bobby on it with her.

It's a big thing now.

- Who's on it with her right now?
- The new associate, Maia.

I'd keep her on it. Maia's good.

And she's motivated.

- That Rindell kid?
- Yes.

Sure. Everybody hates her.

Great way to mold a fighter.

All right.

There may not even be a job here.

I just want to warn you.

You're here for
the assistant position?

Come on in... Daniela?

Have a seat.

This is still your case, Frank,

but it's also now a class action.

- So I don't pay anything?
- Right.

And it's more likely that
you'll get a larger settlement,

because these big companies will
want to avoid the embarrassment.

Is this going to move quickly now,
because I'm having trouble paying rent.

We think the companies will try
to win this motion to dismiss.

And if not, they'll
negotiate a settlement.

- All right, do I have to sign something?
- Yes.

And, actually, you can help us, Frank.

We're looking for other workers

who have had their wages
garnished, just like you.

- So, if you...
- What is this case again?

We're gathering a
class of retail workers

who were wrongly accused of
stealing from their stores.

Okay, got it.

So are you coming back to work?

Everybody misses you.

No, I got another job.

In fact, can you help me out with it?

You know everybody around here.

Is there anybody in the
mall who had their wages cut?

We're bringing a lawsuit against
all these big asshole companies,

and I know you know all the
people here and how they complain.

So is anybody bitching
about their paychecks?

It's about people
being forced to confess

that they stole clothing
or shoes or computers.

So if you hear anything
from anybody, here's my card.

Tell them to call me.

What the hell are you doing, Barbara?

What am I doing? I'm having a sandwich.

You're dragging my
members into a class action.

If this is about the salary
garnishing, we're not drag...

You're pissing off management!

We're on the eve of a
contract negotiation,

and you're pissing off management.

It was a union-member complaint.

- We are merely...
- No, no, no, no.

You convinced him to
pursue a class action,

because you wanted the money.

You came into our offices
and asked for our help

to collect a class...

Those two did.

- Your contract is with us.
- Yes.

And you employed us to
help your members and...

As a gesture, merely.

Maybe your members
would like to know that.

Seriously?

That's how little our
contract means to you?

- You're threatening me?
- God,

if that's considered a threat, friend,

I would love to live in your world.

We won't pay a cent
for this class action,

and we won't help in
any way. So drop it.

What are you gonna do?

We're gonna find another benefactor.

So what do you have?

A new suit. Very last-minute.

Class action against
12 nationwide retailers.

- I'll need financing on, say, 140...
- How many in the class?

We're gathering that as we speak,

but we think 20, maybe more.

Sympathetic, working-class families,

all retail workers.

Who's the test case?

Top of page three.

Frank Gwinn, 32 years old.

Divorced father.

Good witness. College-educated.

Worked at BMI selling shoes.

No litigation in his
background, and no priors.

- He's delinquent on a loan.
- It's a student loan.

2012. He's making payments again.

Your proposal?

You finance 600 billable hours

for an initial payment of $300,000.

You'll have two exit ramps. One,

after the motion to dismiss.

Two, six months into trial,

if we even go that long.

You share 40% of the award,

up to $8 million.

No.

Why?

You can't get better.

Your motion to dismiss is in
front of Judge Kevin Drago?

We've won in front of him before.

Our algorithm doesn't like him.

Not for this case.

Your algorithm's not taking into account

that I'm a fucking good lawyer.

Don't swear, okay?

It bugs out Jer.

I'm sorry.

Does your algorithm even like this case?

It does.

Good optics, good potential pay-out.

It's just this judge.

It's okay, I will get you a new judge.

- How you gonna do that?
- I'm a good lawyer.

We're going to court.

Fuck the union, we will
finance this thing ourselves.

You, I want you in court.

What is your name again?

- Maia.
- Maia. Great.

- Second chair.
- I... well, thank you, sir.

Unfortunately we've
run into a snag, Adrian.

- What?
- The class.

Without the union's help,

we're having a little
trouble locating employees

with garnished wages.

Check crime reports.

Any business missing back-stock
they'd report it, right?

No. They tried that.

Let's post fliers. Let's check Reddit.

Let's get creative.

I've told our financial partners

that we would have 20
members in the class,

so let's get to it, all right?

Here's 23 employees who
were accused of theft

by their employer and
had their wages garnished.

And I have feelers out to a dozen more.

And there are two more
people here to be interviewed.

Who is that?

My new assistant.

You want me to recuse myself?

Yes, Your Honor. Regretfully.

- You don't like me, Counselor?
- No, I love you.

At our firm, we speak very highly
of you all the time, Your Honor.

But unfortunately, in this instance,

there is a conflict of interest.

We're good here, Your Honor. No problem.

Isn't this just a motion to dismiss?

I'm not sure how I
can be conflicted out.

I've shopped at BMI,
but that's about it.

And you, sir?

Do I know you?

No, Your Honor.

Nice try, Mr. Boseman,

but I reject your motion to recuse me.

We can start with your first witness.

Actually, Your
Honor, there's one more thing.

You're trying my patience, sir.

You recently you lost over a
million dollars in an investment.

- Am I correct?
- That's none of your business.

And that loss has nothing
to do with the matter here.

Now sit down.

But unfortunately, our
second chair here...

Maia, would you stand up
and state your full name please?

Maia Rindell.

As you can see, Your Honor,

since you've lost most of your savings

to the Rindell Ponzi scheme,

you cannot fairly judge this case.

So here we all are on this
lovely Wednesday afternoon.

And unfortunately,

I have misplaced my
prescription glasses.

So I will try to make do with
these prescription sunglasses,

if you don't mind me looking
a little bit like a movie star.

Very becoming, Your Honor.

Well, I wouldn't go that far.

Coming from L.A., I'm used to it.

Los Angeles.

How is your drought?

Improving.

Good. I love the way your state

emphasizes green energy.

Yes, I have a Tesla myself.

It's such a wonderful car.

Your Honor, the motion to dismiss.

Yes, thank you, Lucca.

The simple fact is the
plaintiff is attempting to use

the theft of 400 running
shoes from my client's...

Not the theft. There is no theft here.

If I could finish? Thank you.

To sue 15 respected companies.

In other words, this
is a Trojan Horse...

Actually, the metaphor
I would use, Your Honor,

- is a reverse Robin Hood.
- Seriously?

Well, this is getting heated.

My client makes $40,000 a year.

Ms. Stevens' client makes $13 billion.

And yet every payday, they
take 40% of his take home pay.

Okay, well, battle lines drawn.

Ms. Stevens, your, your first witness.

We had a lot of theft
from the store-room,

almost $600,000 this year.

So I was asked to
question the employees.

And why did you zero
in on the plaintiff?

He showed signs of deception
per the Friedman method.

This is a
method utilized by the police

- to question suspects?
- Yes.

And the plaintiff
signed this confession?

Yes. He told us exactly how he...

slipped the crates into his car,

took them down to Maxwell Street Market,

and sold them to a vendor for $10,000.

- Thank you, Mr. Diyardian.
- He gave me that information.

- Nothing more here, Your Honor.
- Mike,

could you angle that screen some more?

These sunglasses are polarized.

Yeah, keep coming, keep coming..

Keep coming, keep coming. Well...

Continue, please.

Just a few questions, Benji.

Why didn't you tell the
police about the theft?

Excuse me?

Well, if it were me and
I had $70,000 stolen,

I would go to the police.

Well, the company would rather
settle these things internally.

And I'd rather you
call me "Mr. Diyardian."

My apologies.

And Mr. Gwinn stole this $70,000,

according to your interrogation?

My interview.

Right, your interview.

To your mind, Frank
Gwinn is a thief, right?

Well, he stole, yes.

Then why didn't the company fire him?

Your Honor, I-I think
it's a little odd that BMI

is being censured for doing
the humanitarian thing.

I don't think
plaintiff is censuring them.

I think she just finds it odd
that they kept the thief on staff,

as do I.

Well, the company just
wanted an opportunity

to claw back its losses, didn't it?

Right, it did.

So the company wanted
to keep Frank employed

so they could take from his paycheck?

- Is that right?
- Well, that's not how I'd put it.

How would you put it,
Benji? Please take your time.

You're suggesting bad motives here.

But BMI thinks all its employees

should be allowed to make things right.

And so, even though, Frank,
supposedly stole $70,000,

he was still allowed to work alone

and unsupervised in the backroom?

Objection. Asked and answered.

Actually, no, I'd
like to hear the answer.

We trust our employees.

And that's why you questioned
him for seven hours?

Objection. Argumentative.

I'll rephrase. How many hours
did you question my client?

I don't know. I didn't keep track.

Well...

it says seven hours here.

Hello, Lucca.

Good to see you're still at it.

And it's um...

Mai... I'm sorry, Mia.

- Maia.
- Maia, thank you.

- Hi. I'm Andrea.
- Hi.

I'm so terribly sorry about your family.

Must be hard on you.

- It's manageable.
- Manageable.

Good.

Women are taking over the
world, piece by piece.

Um, I'm wondering if you and
I could talk sometime, Lucca.

We can talk right now.

Well, I-I just

hate doing it here in
a public place, but...

So, what's the offer?

Offer?

No, I-I just wanted to know
where you got your hair cut.

I just, I love the bangs so much.

A friend of mine.

- She cuts hair out of her apartment.
- Really?

- Could you maybe get me her number?
- Sure.

Thank you.

Gosh..

I love this, by the way.

It would look great on
you. Do you want to buy it?

No.

I'd sooner buy the
smile off the Mona Lisa.

See you tomorrow.

Bye, Mia.

_

It was just was a scare.

Dr. Trotter found another lump.

But he thinks it's nothing.

Good.

Is that why you called?

Yes, I mean, I was told the cancer

had spread to your lymph nodes.

Well, that's the fear.

It's good to see you, Maia.

You look older.

Look at me, Mom.

Why?

I just want to ask you a few questions.

Maia, I spent the last two
weeks answering more questions

than I have in my whole life.

Yes. And I am your daughter.

And I just want to ask you a few more.

Look at me.

Okay, I'm looking at you.

Was there really a cancer scare?

Yes, baby,

there was a cancer scare.

And you're not lying to me?

I'm your mother.

- Is Dad guilty?
- You know he's not.

Are you guilty?

No, Maia, I'm not guilty.

Uncle Jax is guilty.

You just need to trust me, baby.

We're family.

I don't know if she's lying or not.

About the cancer?

No, about the fund.

Do you think your dad did it?

I don't know.

We were always the boring family.

I mean, all my friends, their...

their parents were divorcing

or having affairs and...

I used to lie about
Mom and Dad fighting,

so that I wouldn't seem so weird.

And now...

it's like we're paying for
all those years of happiness.

That's your parents.

Doesn't have to be you.

You can be as happy as you want.

And we're back.

Now, here's the thing, young man.

No, you can all sit down.

I have a question for you.

What is supination?

I was buying running shoes yesterday

and they told me my feet supinate?

Yeah, supination

is when your feet roll
outward when you run.

- And that's a bad thing?
- Yes, it can be a bad thing.

But that's why you need shoes
with a firmer outer sole.

Shoes like these?

Your Honor, um,

we do have a witness,

but if you're feeling
biased towards the plaintiff,

we ask that we be heard on a recusal.

No, no. No, counselor.

I'm just getting some advice.

My apologies.

I will work hard toward
neither supinating

nor pronating toward
one side or the other.

Your next witness.

The interviewer merely
tries to ease the way

for a liar to admit
the truth, that's all.

So you tend
to minimize the crime?

Yes.

According to Mr.
Diyardian's own testimony,

he made it clear to the suspect

that the theft was not a big matter.

They just wanted to solve it.

In fact, he could understand
why someone would be tempted.

He was even tempted.

And the plaintiff has suggested

that Mr. Diyardian
handed all the details

of the flea market sale to Mr. Gwinn?

Yes, but that's
just part of our method.

Making it clear to the suspect

that you know all the
particulars of his crime

helps him feel there is
no way to avoid detection.

And this is the same
method used by police

- to catch criminals?
- Yes, definitely.

It is tried and tested.

All done here, Your Honor.

Do you want to do it?

- Well, if you don't want to.
- No. No.

I want to.

Mr. Le Frenais.

La Frenais.

La Frenais.

Is it part of your method

that you can lie to the suspect?

Sorry, Counselor. You... can you speak up?

I think that Lisa is
having problems hearing you.

Yes. Of course.

Is it part of your Friedman method, sir,

that you can lie to the
suspect being questioned?

Whoa. Much better, thank you.

It's not part of my method.

It's part of the Supreme Court
decision, Frazier v. Cupp.

Police officers can lie to suspects.

And so in step number
five of your method,

the interviewer is to present

evidence of culpability to the suspect,

whether it's true or not?

Well, it's better if the
evidence is true, of course.

But it doesn't have to be?

No.

So when Benji presented Frank

with a DVD recording of him stealing

the $70,000 in running shoes...

a DVD that was completely
blank, by the way...

that was A-okay with you?

Yes,

if it helps find a crook, yes.

But doesn't your method
result in false confessions?

Very few.

In fact, hasn't your method

been banned by police

in Canada and England?

I wouldn't call it banned.
They've chosen not to use it.

Because it resulted in
too many false confessions?

I don't think that's fair.

But is it true, sir?

I'll leave that analysis to others.

Analysis. What...

"The Friedman Method"

"is a banned coercive
technique of interrogation"

"that results in too
many false confessions."

"It is therefore banned
within our jurisdiction."

Do you mean analysis like that?

Who wrote that?

Melissa Starr.

London Metropolitan
Police. Scotland Yard.

Okay.

Anything further?

Nothing here, Your Honor.

Thank you.

Hi. This is Diane Lockhart's office,

and I'm her assistant,
Marissa. How may I help you?

It's Dr. Ainsworth at Harbor Hospital.

- Do you want to call him back?
- Please.

Diane.

You didn't like any of the applicants?

For the assistant's job?

No, I did. It's
just that I know Marissa,

and she's on the ball. She's good.

You'll see.

Okay. This is our offer.

$500,000 to Frank Gwinn.

No class action.

If the firm pursues a class action,

our offer goes away
and Frank gets nothing.

Lot of money for a guy
pulling in 40 grand a year.

What do you think of that, Maia?

I think we'll have to get back to you.

Okay.

In the next, two hours,

or we go back to court, and destroy you.

- Ms. Stevens.
- Yeah.

I have an answer for you now.

Great.

My hair stylist's number.

Well?

We got a decision to make.

No. It's not enough
money for us to take.

It's not your
decision. It's the client's.

No. It's a decision for the whole class:

All 24 clients.

The algorithm says we stay in.

This is crazy.

You can't have them decide what we do.

They're paying the bills, Lucca.

Yes, but Frank needs the money.

If we pass on this,
he could get nothing.

Or he could get a whole lot more.

Let's just wait and see.

I just have one last
question for you, Frank.

Why did you confess?

If you didn't do it, then
why would you confess?

He made it seem like
it was the only way out.

He he had a DVD of me doing it.

And if you knew there
was nothing on that DVD,

then why would you confess?

I felt helpless. I was exhausted.

He had me convinced that I
just repressed the memory.

He said he had a witness who swore

that I was down at a flea
market, selling the shoes.

- Were you?
- No.

But he said he was gonna
give all this to the cops

if I didn't come clean to the company.

Come clean, meaning?

Sign this statement that he wrote up.

- And so you signed it?
- Yes.

He said that I could keep my job,

he said that the
questioning would be over.

He said that I would still
be on management track.

Did you know that Benji gets a bonus

for every employee he gets to confess?

Objection. No foundation.

That is definitely sustained.

Okay, um, I think

I'm ready to rule on this motion.

Your Honor,
I'd like to cross-examine.

This is not a full trial.

This is merely a motion to dismiss.

Yeah, I know, but this information
just came into our hands.

We were hoping to use
it at trial, but...

we think we can save the
court a lot of time and money

if we could ask it now.

- I... am enticed.
- Thank you, Your Honor.

Mr. Gwinn, where did
you work before BMI?

Various places. I worked as a temp.

And was one these places
Tolleson Accounting?

- Yes.
- You had a clerical job there?

I'll take that as a yes.

And were you asked to leave?

- I didn't do it.
- Yeah.

I think you know what's coming, Frank.

There was a petty cash situation,

several hundred dollars?

And were you accused of taking it?

I told them I didn't take it.

But you agreed to leave

if they didn't call the cops?

Objection, there is no record of this.

Our investigators
questioned this business.

Yes, because the manager at the time

talked only to our investigator,

and signed this affidavit.

I didn't do it.

In it, he swears that
Frank took the money,

then when he was caught,
promised to return it

if they kept the theft secret.

That's a lie!

That's a complete and total lie.

Okay. That is information

I will take into consideration.

Does the defendant
have any more questions?

Nothing more, Your Honor.

Unless the
plaintiff has anything more,

I will rule on this motion.

I hate losing.

It was a good effort.

Does this impact the class?

Yes, unfortunately.

The litigation financiers dropped out.

I thought he was telling the truth.

Well, maybe he was.

About the running shoes.

You know, people can lie and
still be telling the truth.

Nobody's a hundred
percent of any one thing.

My mom lied about her cancer.

It was a scare. It wasn't real.

She just wanted to see me.

She's lonely.

People get desperate
when they're lonely.

You should go see her.

Mom?

Mom?

Maia, what are you doing?

I wanted to see how you were.

Good. I was just going to bed.

What's wrong?

Why don't we have breakfast tomorrow?

Whose car is that outside?

Just the painters were here
yesterday. They left one.

Where's the tea, Lenore?

It's not a good time.

Hi, Uncle Jax.
