Previously in Family Law...

Amazing girl. - Claire? Yes.

I actually meant Martina.

First box of old
cases, complete.

Done all alone? - Yes.

On a roll.

She has a date. - Not really.

Are you still there?
- Jesus Christ.

What's going on?

She ransacked her
grandmother's liquor cabinet.

The doorman just told me...

that Nico started walking
from Deep Cove at night.

My kids have to
get out of here now.

Your children?
- Keep out of it.

You are a worthless
mother and grandmother.

Frank. Control yourself.

And you can't say anything at all.

He wants a
parental evaluation...

which determines when
you can see your children.

If possible.

How many bed partners have I had?

In total, you mean?

Around thirteen, I think.

Have you ever had dangerous sex?

Dangerous sex?

What do you mean on roller skates?
- Abbie.

What does this have
to do with parenting?

Such an evaluation includes
a psychological examination.

Also about your bed partners.

I was married for 15 years.

Which bed partners?

What about cheating?

They should ask Frank.

Should I mention his infidelity?

I would focus on the kids.

Don't throw mud.
- But when Frank starts...

That would be stupid.

If only I had stayed home, this
never would have happened.

You can't help it, Mom.

It's Frank's fault.

Sofia is fourteen.

Old enough to look after Nico.

You haven't done anything wrong.

And that woman is also
going to talk to Sofia and Nico?

With everyone around you.

What questions will
she ask the children?

Depends.

Maybe she asks if one
of you belittled the other.

And whether they
feel safe with you.

You are a fantastic mother.

Do not worry.

Is that...

Our brother, kissing in
the car like a teenager?

Yes.

Hi Clara, Good morning.

You ordered a Tesla, right?
- I canceled.

On the advice of Yannick.

Will you be
persuaded by Yannick?

I'm impressed.

Sun protection glass.

Custom suspension.
Biometric storage space.

Video surveillance.

I was talking about her, but
please continue about your car.

Do people like.

Things are going well between
you and Clara, aren't you?

Raising the search age on
Tinder was my best choice ever.

Do you hear that?
He goes with an older woman.

Congratulations, Danny.

What's it like to be so grown up?

Hilarious. Hurry up,
we meet in 10 minutes.

This must be one of the
happiest days of his life.

I need coffee.
I'll see you upstairs.

Good morning Mr.
Svensson. Miss Bianchi.

Good morning, Winston.

Has anyone mentioned
what a fantastic dress that is?

Just something different.

That's your client's son.

She's already in the boardroom.

Hi Winston. - Cecil.

I have mail for you.

Another card from Nina.

Where are they now?

In Bankok.

I went there with Eleanor.

Brian got a tattoo.

From a lion.

And it got inflamed.
- Logically.

Nina was our receptionist.

You already said that.

I had a thing for her.

Not really.

Silently.

So... What kind of tattoo...

Svensson and Svensson.
Can I help you?

No line is busy.

Sure.
I do have time for a survey.

My son can go to a new school,
for special children like Dion.

But my ex André doesn't want it.

Why not?
- For starters, it's in Victoria.

What is your current
access arrangement?

During the week he is with me,
at the weekend with his father.

I am the main caretaker.
- Do you have to record?

Sorry. I am a teacher.
I'm on standby.

The court prefers
shared custody.

I want that too.
We can keep the same schedule.

Dion can come here on weekends.

André is just angry,
he doesn't think.

Should we take a break?

He posted this online.

'Shall I punish you?
Call me at 604...'

My phone keeps ringing.

The first few times
I stupidly answered.

Is that a mushroom?

No, that's something completely different.

Would you like something to drink?

Hello?

Don't touch my headphones.

That's my buffer.

That is a special game.

It's not a game. I program.

I want soda.

"May I have a soft drink?"

Why would your ex do such a thing?

We had a messy divorce.

But even at the lowest
point, he never acted like that.

Has anything changed recently?

I have a new boyfriend.

André has since
had six girlfriends.

But I can't have a new relationship.

Typical.

It started with
sugar in my gas tank.

That cost me a fortune.

Then he sent an email
from my account...

to all my contacts.
Everyone thinks I have gonorrhea.

And now this again.

What do the police say?

That they can't do anything about it.
I can't prove it.

I read your interview,
Mr. Svensson.

About all the couples
you let work together...

instead of arguing.

That sounded really good.

Maybe I'll get André
and his lawyer.

I thought Frank was an asshole.

Abigail? I have some time.
Are you coming to talk?

What is going on?

Frank wants a
parental evaluation.

He's an idiot.

That is always hard for the
children and for the family.

Precisely.

They're going to interview
everyone around me and...

I have to blacken Frank.
Leak something.

I'm mostly concerned
about my own past.

I know this is difficult for you.

Could have happened.
If things had happened.

Luckily I didn't see anything.

WHY DO WE HAVE TO GO
WITH THAT DR. POWELL TALK?

JUST ASK YOUR FATHER.

HE TOLD ME TO ASK YOU.

Wow. A real law firm.

Too bad, you won't
enjoy it for long.

So Jessie's back?

Her ex is coming soon.

I can't wait to meet that prick.

What were you and Harry talking about?

You can't stand it when
I'm alone with him, can you?

I will be honest.

You can become a partner?
I know that one now.

I get an authority evaluation
split in the stomach.

How bad.

That's bad for you.

They'll question Harry.

And maybe you too.

So whatever you think of
me, I'd appreciate it if you...

It's gonna be okay, Abby...

I support you.

We want to do something
about the tension between you.

Make arrangements
about your son's school.

And we want you
to stop bullying.

Bullying?

You're still playing victim.

Did she also tell you that
she scratched my car?

And cut the crotches
out of my trousers?

All my pants!

I was angry. He cheated!

Whatever happened...

it does not justify this behavior.

He's innocent.

And yet someone put
her phone number online.

Herself, yes.

Do you really think so?

She sets me up.
She acts like I'm crazy...

so she can work in Victoria.

It's not about that job.

No, it's about that crazy school.

Special education.

I'm fine with Dion.

You don't see him during the week.

I get a call from
his teachers...

when he turns.

Now he's playing truant again.

Dion's not the one who's crazy.

You did this!

You think differently
about Dion.

Beats.
This has been going on for months.

We'll talk in court.

Sooner or later your lawyers
will get tired of that nonsense too.

Who was your previous lawyer?
-Candice Birch.

She didn't want to do
anything about that bullying.

Candice?
She is always on top of it.

Is it true what Andre said?

Yes, but I wasn't going to apply
until after Dion was accepted.

No, those crosses
from his trousers.

I'm not proud of it.

May be fine. I would too.

I'm over it.
I now have a good relationship.

I just want to keep going.

And do the best for Dion.

Are you going to
call her, or shall I?

Who, Miss Fullerton?

Yes, I was her lawyer.

Why did you stop?

I have a duty of confidentiality.

Different wording then.

Did you ever suspect
that Jessie did it herself?

Is something wrong with your ears?

Listen.

Jessie's version of the
truth may not be correct...

so when you defend her,
you have to be careful.

Another blast.

Okay.

What? Too much sweat? - No.

Ah.

nylon pants.

Reminds me of high school parties.

I went there with Cathy Sanchez
and came back traumatized.

It must have been very
traumatic for Cathy, too.

Have lunch together soon?

Nice. Nicli's Antica?

Sounds good.

Will you visit the office first?

I want to show you off.

Okay okay.

So your parents are divorced?

When I was seven.

Brothers or sisters?

A half-brother and a half-sister.

As far as I know.

Look.

Baked this morning.

I go to my volunteer
work at the soup kitchen.

I'll let you know
that you can't today.

Bye. - Day.

Does she volunteer a lot?

Honestly, as far as
she's concerned...

is volunteering at
bachelor auctions.

And those cupcakes...
- From the organic store.

That does not matter.

That's exactly what I like.

She means well.

She just cares about me.

How was your parents' relationship?

They were quite...

They were not good role models.

No?

My dad cheated...

and my mother told me everything.

They were constantly arguing.

It was awful.

I didn't want to
do that to my kids.

But yes, here we are.

Be honest, Jessie.
Why did Candice quit?

I used an email from
André in a statement.

And maybe...

was that...

OK, I know how this sounds.

You tampered with it.

I just added some things...

which he has said.

Jessie.

I didn't do that bullying myself.

It's Andre.
But I can't prove it.

And nobody believes me.

Listen.

I feel really bad
for you, but...

You don't believe me either.

Daniel has decided this.

Hi.

Good book. - Do you think?

Are you mad?

I'm sorry, I should have
thanked you for your help.

That's right.

But...

no one ever says,
"Good job, Cecil."

Harry doesn't even know my name.

You are so smart.

I thought you didn't
need compliments.

Six years ago I participated...

in a science competition.

I won silver.

My mother looked at my
medal and said, "That's not gold."

Wow.
While it is almost the same.

Why would André puncture your tire?

So that Dion picks up late.

He wants to discredit me.

Gary. You are here.

Naturally.
You sounded so concerned.

Did you get Dion?

He was playing hooky again.

Calm down.

I called him. He is home.

Miss Bianchi, this is Gary.

- Gary, this is...
- Abigail.

I'll be right back.

You have to help her.
The police do nothing.

André's bullying is becoming
more and more extreme.

Jessie is scared.

She may have done it herself.

When?
- Right before your appointment.

You should have seen her.
She's about to collapse.

Maybe she's trying
to generate sympathy.

Munchhausen-by-proxy.

Like in The Sixth Sense?

Yes, exactly.

Or she has a
separation psychosis.

I've seen that before
with cheated on women.

Is that your argument, Harry?
"Women are crazy"?

Your mother filled my
groin guard with pepper.

Right before a hockey game.

Nobody wants to know.

Lucy can meet Jessie.

If she believes her,
we take the case?

Fine. - Okay, I can do that.

Nice consultation, this.

Daniel?

This lady is coming to lunch with you.

This is my girlfriend.

clara? - Harry?

I'm going to the toilet, I'll
meet you at the elevator.

clara.

Oh my God.

What?

Harry and Daniel dipped their
fish fingers in the same sauce.

Then the contractor
went straight to my client...

to share his concern.

Really and truly?

That's not allowed.

And now the whole project is in jeopardy.

Bizarre.

Go ahead.

You can ask me anything.

Where did you meet him?

At the Reflections Cocktail Lounge.

When?

A year ago.

How long did it take?

A couple of weeks.

It was nothing.

Wasn't the name of my
company a clue to you?

I didn't know his last name.

It was a few nights.

We didn't talk that much.

Thank you.
- Sofia just texted me.

Valerie was with Nico yesterday.

And?

He ignores my calls.

jessie?

Everthing allright?

My job in Victoria
is in jeopardy.

The director received
an anonymous email.

Some parent says I hit a kid.

Now they're after me.
- Take a deep breath, Jessie.

It will be fine.

This is Dr. Svensson.

So she's going to
determine if I'm crazy.

I wouldn't say it like that.
- It does not matter.

I want to know too.

Sometimes I think I'm crazy.

Come with me.

Are you sleeping a little?
- Hardly.

I've never been paranoid...

but lately I've been very tense.

Has André ever physically or
psychologically abused you...

in your marriage? - No.

We yelled at each other sometimes...

but I never felt unsafe.

And now?

When I met Gary...

André may have been afraid that
he was being replaced as a father.

But I've told it many times
before: Gary isn't coming to Victoria.

Tell me about Dion.

How has he been
since the divorce?

Not so good.

But sometimes he suddenly revives.

He made a very nice
animation film for me.

From a bunch of dancing candies...

and the text: 'Happy
Mother's Day, you are sweet'.

Other people never see that side.

He's a good boy.

But it is also difficult sometimes.

Does Dion have an official diagnosis?

An oppositional
defiant disorder.

According to André, he
just needs to exercise more.

I took Dion to a
play one time...

and something triggered
him, the light or maybe a sound.

You should have seen
the looks of the other kids...

even from the parents.

If people think you're crazy...

they pretend it's contagious.

Or dangerous.

I don't want Dion
to feel this way.

What does he need?

To be understood.

Being seen by his teachers.

And I found a place
where you can.

But I'm getting so tired of André.
Sometimes I just want to give up.

Come on Dion. Just sit down.

Why didn't you pick me up?

I had to go here.

I don't want him to get me.

Okay, take it easy.

Bugger off!

I'm sorry, Gary.

It does not matter.

It's a stressful situation,
but we'll be fine.

Had I behaved like this before...

then my mother would
have beaten me to a pulp.

Come on in.

What is?

I...

I don't want it to be awkward.

Uncomfortable? How so?

Come on, Dad. clara?

I'm not okay with that.

She's a nice girl.
Give it a chance.

Why didn't you want her
anymore, if she's so great?

I just need someone
with more substance.

But I think Clara is
very good for you.

Do you compare your fish sticks?

Not funny.

Yes.
The whole situation is hilarious.

You want me to put in a good
word on that authority evaluation?

Then stop.

I don't think Jessie is lying.

Her sleep deprivation and
wakefulness indicate hyper-alertness...

so I guess she's really scared.

Fine. We'll do it.

I'll have Cecil draw
up the contract.

I'll deliver it to Jessie later.

But, how...
- Take the Seabus...

and then line 212 to Deep Cove.

Our house burned
down when I was little.

My father was just able to escape.

I've been terrified
of fire ever since.

Hardly anyone knows that.

But Andre does.

Why would he...

Dion was home.
- This is going way too far, Jessie.

He puts Dion in danger.

Excuse me.

Hi -Is this your house?

No, I'm her lawyer.

Abigail.

Aidan.

Do you already know
what caused the fire?

A fire accelerator.

Probably gasoline.
- Arson, then?

I'll keep you posted
on the investigation.

Shall I give you my number?
- Please.

Please.

Is that the barracks number?

No.

From my mobile.

You can always call me.

Anytime you want.

Can happen.

Not with me.

So it's me?

No.

No not at all.

You are amazing.

The point is just...

As soon as we have
sex, I think of my father.

No, wait.

That sounded weird.

Can you get over
it, do you think?

I'd like that.

But I do not know.

Maybe you'd better
sleep at home tonight.

I'm sorry, Clara.

Maybe I can...

No.

This was it.

This isn't just about
that school in Victoria.

We have to take care...

that Jessie gets full authority.

Fine. Just arrange it. - Real?

Are you okay?

I do not wanna talk about it.

Does this have anything to
do with your oedipal crisis?

Clara dumped me.

She says I have
a father complex.

Boy, well spotted.

Says the one who invented it.

You do know that Dion is
not allowed in court, right?

He doesn't want to go to school.
He is scared because of the fire.

I'm staying with Dion.

Okay?

Summarizing...

Miss Fullerton wants
the best for her son.

But her ex's terror campaign...

could have resulted
in bodily injury.

We are requesting
permission to move to Victoria...

and full authority
for Miss Fullerton...

while the investigation is ongoing.

Defense?

Your Honor, I agree
with Miss Bianchi.

Miss Fullerton thinks she
knows what's best for Dion.

And she will do
anything to get her way.

My client was painting
an office last night.

With his whole team.

He knows these men from school.

Those are his buddies.

They just protect him.

Stop it.

Order in the courtroom.

We question Miss
Fullerton's stability.

We suspect she's
doing things to herself.

Objection, Your Honor.
This is outright speculation.

This is a newspaper article from 1990...

about a fire at Miss
Fullerton's childhood home.

Anonymously emailed to my office.

Objection.

We haven't seen this yet.
- You see it now.

I allow it.

Investigations
showed that the fire…

was lit by the daughter.

When questioned, the girl said, "I
wanted to see the beautiful flames."'

The circumstantial
evidence is overwhelming.

For Dion's safety...

do we want mr. Fullerton
is given full authority.

Objection.

There has just been talk
of circumstantial evidence.

Still, I have to be careful...

and mr. grant
Fullerton full authority.

This kid needs help and
Jessie will do anything for him.

To be continued in a month.
Hopefully we'll know more then.

Is it true?

What's in that article?

I was ten.

I didn't want to hide
anything from you.

Hello.

I have to go with dad, but I was
supposed to be with you tonight.

That's right kid.
The schedule has changed.

It'll be fine.
- Not really. We would eat tacos.

That is also possible with me.

No, it has to be with mom.

Go to your father.

Then I'll bring
the groceries later.

Hey.

Everything will be fine.
Give it some time.

Jessie may be innocent,
but Andre probably too.

Yes, he seems really
concerned about his son.

Is it someone else?

Which we haven't considered yet?

It must be someone who
knows a lot about Jessie's past.

With access to her computer.

Perhaps spyware or
a keylogger was used.

Then you can access everything:
contacts, passwords, schedules.

Dion.

I saw him after my session with Jessie.

He was angry because Gary
had taken him out of school.

He can program.
He mumbled something about that.

And the day Jessie's tires
went flat, Dion skipped school.

No.

Not really.

He has a disorder, he
is not a shrewd criminal.

No one says that, but he
must be having a hard time.

Maybe he wants to make
sure you don't go to Victoria?

Does he want to go there?

Dion hates change...

but he would never hurt anyone.

Especially not me.

Can I bring your
laptop to the office?

Okay Cecil, Time for
your computer thingy.

"Computer thingy"?
Thanks for the compliment.

I'll go to the barracks, ask
how the investigation is going.

Why don't you call them?

FIRE BRIGADE

Hi.

Aidan, right?

Abigail.

Thought I'd drop by and
see if there's any news...

about the fire.
- No Unfortunately.

Sorry about the effort.

Oh, we're near here.

And now I can...

to see this big, shiny car.

You must have hidden a
pole in there somewhere.

Would you like to take a look inside?

Is it weird if I say yes?

Usually they are
children under ten.

Do you have to go somewhere to put out the fire?

Only if the chili burns.

I'm the cook today.

You have to eat anyway.

I have to go there for a while.

Yes, I have to go too.

Abigail. Guard.

present.

Thank you for the service.

'Thank you for the service'?

Stupid bitch.

Cecil. What are you doing?

Tada.

Is that for me?

'Award for outstanding
office work and friendship.

Employee of the year.'

Cecil.

Look, gold.

Awesome.

Thank you.

So basically you
went for nothing.

Not for nothing.

I bought toilet paper
on the way back.

You were right.

There's spyware on Jessie's laptop.

Nice.

Can you trace who installed it?

I am mr. Not robots.

Maybe that's not necessary.

We can lure the culprit.

If I email Jessie, can the
perpetrator read along?

Yes, that's the whole idea.

What are you doing?
- Email Jessie.

I write that her neighbor
has contacted her.

Her brother happened to be visiting...

and he has a car
with video surveillance.

My car has that too.

The neighbor thinks she
has images of the pyromaniac.

She's coming over
tonight to watch it together.

Whoever put the
spyware on her laptop...

of course wants to
delete the images.

She set a trap. - Yes.

Wait a second.
Whose car are we using?

Frank also has cameras.

Why not his car?

Four words: evaluation of
parental authority. Softy.

Boys.

Calm down.
Nobody touches your car.

We'll run there as soon as...

Boys.

Gary?

My car.

Gary. What are you doing?

Take it easy.
I'm doing this for you.

Like lighting that fire?

Guard.

That ad, that anonymous email...

that was you? - I love you.

I couldn't handle that thing with your ex.

He is Dion's father.

I wanted to show who he is.

No, who are you.

And then you wanted to move.

We're good right? - No!

Everyone thinks I'm
a danger to my son.

That kid is driving a
wedge between us.

"That child"?

He's bad for you.

Say yourself. He's weird.

Give me that key.

I wanted to rid us
of all that madness.

You are crazy here!

Let me guess, it was the boyfriend.
- How did you know that?

I listen to crime podcasts.

It's always the boyfriend.

Lucy says he is a narcissist
with a messiah complex.

I fired my chef for a steak...

but your story is much crazier.

And that is not all.

Do you remember Clara?
- Naturally. Nice trouser suits.

So she has with my father...

No. - Yes.

I couldn't get over it,
so she dumped me.

'My girlfriend. My stepmother.'

Okay, okay, stop. - Daniel.

I feel bad for you.

Thank you.

She was nice too. I hate it.

It will be fine.

Someday she will think:

"Only one of those two
Svenssons had a good ass."

Guard. Do I have that good ass?

I'm sorry I blamed you.

I feel so stupid.
- Does not have to.

He cheated everyone.

Creeps work overtime
to seem normal.

My boss once asked
me to pull his finger.

We like to share authority.

Sounds good. And Victoria?

I can come and work there...

and I still think that
school is the best choice.

But it's so far away.

I know I only have
the weekends...

but I like to have him close.

He was supposed to be
ready at 12 noon on Friday.

Then he can take the 1pm ferry.

You can use it on
days off and holidays.

Good, but we'll look
again at the end of the year.

Thank you.

I'd like to pick up the
kids from school, Frank.

I'll bring them right to you.

Can you give me those
ten minutes in the car?

Call me back.

You have visitors.

A client?

I don't think he
wants legal advice.

You are here.

Yes.

Is this about the fire?

No.

Would you like to go
out with me tonight?

I have to work overtime.
Because of... something.

I understand.
I should have called.

Maybe tomorrow?

Nice.

Yes. Nice.

I will call you tomorrow.

Okay.

Okay. - Okay.

Bye.

How long have you had this job?

Almost ten months.

How is your relationship with your boss?

What a loaded question.

I work for my father.

How is it going so far?

You haven't been in touch
for a while, haven't you?

Thirty-three years, yes.

But we have found our way.

He helped me when needed.

And he often reminds me of that.

Is your drinking causing problems?

In the past, yes...

but I've been sober
for almost a year.

Have you ever neglected
your children when you drank?

No never.

mr. Bianchi said
that a few times you...

was unconscious in
front of your children.

I used to nap when
they were little. Who not?

He says your daughter got
hypothermic once while doing it...

because you left her outside.

She made a snowman
without mittens.

She was in the yard,
I could just see her.

I'm not accusing you, Abigail.

I'm just repeating what he says.

He also says that your
son once cut his own hair...

with sharp scissors?
- It was plastic.

A toy scissors.

That can happen to any parent.

Your daughter said
there's a video online...

yours in court.

That was almost a year ago.

She is still bullied about it.

Listen...

I will always be
ashamed of that...

but Frank had kicked me out
of the house the day before.

Because of your drinking problem?
- Yes.

And did the stress make
you drink even more?

Yes. Because I'm an alcoholic.

I'm trying to understand.

No, you want to confirm Frank's image.

'Poor Frank.

All his problems are
because of my addiction.'

What about him?

He lied about his affair.

He keeps my kids away from me.

Did he tell you that too?

Sorry. - No, it doesn't matter.

This seems enough for today.

Yes.
