PREVIOUSLY ON "ELI STONE"...

I JUST STOPPED BY TO TELL YOU
THAT I'M GOING

TO THE APARTMENT ON THURSDAY
TO PICK UP MY STUFF.
I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU WERE
THE FUTURE OF THIS FIRM.

I JUST THINK THE WAY I PLAY
THE GAME HAS GOT TO CHANGE.

YOU'RE SO SURE
THAT BREAKING THINGS OFF

WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

SUMMON EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT

FOR YOUR FORCES
UNDER THE SUN

PUT THE CORNER...

LOOK AT THIS PLACE.
IT'S PERFECT, GORGEOUS.

IT'S EVERYTHING I IMAGINED.

IT'S HOTTER THAN
THE DAMN SUN!

MY ARM HAIR JUST SINGED OFF.

DAVE, JEN,
ENJOY YOUR VACATION!

I HOPE THE UNDERWATER CAMERA
WORKS OUT.

AH, WHAT NICE PEOPLE.

AH, LOOK AT THIS PLACE.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN
AN OCEAN LIKE THIS?

YEAH, IN CALIFORNIA.
IT'S THE SAME OCEAN.

YEAH, I'M REALLY GLAD
WE'RE DOING THIS, ELI.

THIS IS WHAT THEY MEAN WHEN THEY
SAY "MAKE EVERY MOMENT COUNT."

I MEAN, LOOK AT US.
NINE HOURS AGO, WE WERE AT WORK,

AND NOW WE'RE JUST--
GETTING HEATSTROKE.

DON'T GET TOO EXCITED.
WE HAVE WORK TO DO.

MAGGIE, WHERE'S OUR CAR?
WE'LL WALK.

LOOK IT, IT'LL BE FUN.
WE CAN TAKE IN THE SCENERY.

I'M WEARING A WOOL SUIT.

MY INTERNAL ORGANS ARE BOILING
IN THEIR OWN JUICES.

OH, OKAY, I GET IT. YOU'RE
TRYING TO TELL ME THAT YOU'RE--
HOT!

HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT!

HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU
GONNA BURN YOUR HAND

BEFORE YOU LEARN TO TAKE OUT
THE PLATE FIRST?

THE SYSTEM'S WORKED FOR ME
FOR, LIKE, 30 YEARS, PATTI.
MM.

WHAT'S GOING ON?
WELL, THERE ARE SOME...
RUMORS FLOATING AROUND

THAT YOU'RE NOT GONNA LIKE.

WHICH DO YOU WANT TO HEAR
FIRST--TERRIBLE RUMOR NUMBER ONE

OR TERRIBLE RUMOR NUMBER TWO?
PICK NUMBER ONE.
I PICK NUMBER TWO.

THEY'RE SAYING YOUR WIN
ON THE WOLVERINE S.U.V. CASE

FIVE YEARS AGO
WAS OVERTURNED.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO RETRY IT.

IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

POSNER TOOK OVER THE CASE
ONCE THE APPEAL WAS FILED.

HE'LL HANDLE THE RETRIAL
IF IT DOESN'T SETTLE,

WHICH IT WILL.
HOW CAN YOU BE SO SURE?

JEFFREY POWELL'S BEEN WORKING
ON THIS CASE ON CONTINGENCY,

AS IN UNPAID,
FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS.

EVEN SELF-RIGHTEOUS
DO-GOODERS NEED TO EAT.

BESIDES, THIS CASE
WAS TRIED BY OLD ELI.

EVERYONE AROUND HERE
KNOWS I'M NEW ELI.

NEW ELI IS NO LONGER WORKING
ON THE SIDE OF EVIL.

I DON'T THINK NEW ELI

UNDERSTANDS
HOW THIS PLACE WORKS.

AS OUR SENIOR PARTNER
IS MOMENTARILY ABSENT,

LET'S TURN OUR ATTENTION
TO MUNDANE MATTERS,

SUCH AS
THE PHOTOCOPY DEPARTMENT

REPORTS PAPER USAGE
DOWN 8.3% THIS MONTH.

EXPLANATIONS?

IT HAS TO DO WITH
SOME GREEN PROGRAM.

I GOT, LIKE, A MILLION MEMOS
ON IT, WHICH IS KIND OF IRONIC.

BUT THOSE MEMOS WERE PRINTED
ON RECYCLED PAPER.

MS. DEKKER, I APPLAUD
YOUR WILLINGNESS TO AVER

WHAT YOU NO DOUBT PERCEIVE
TO BE AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH.

HOWEVER, COPYING IS
A PROFIT CENTER FOR THIS FIRM,

WHICH CHARGES CLIENTS
A 35% MARKUP.

MORE COPIES, PEOPLE!
NEXT ITEM--

MITCHELL vs.
ZYRE MOTORS, INCORPORATED.

LATE LAST NIGHT,

FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS
OVERTURNED OUR VICTORY.

OF COURSE, YOU WILL
ONCE AGAIN TAKE THE LEAD

ON THE WOLVERINE S.U.V.
LITIGATION, MR. STONE,

AND I WILL ONCE AGAIN
BE SECOND CHAIR.

OH, UH, SIR, I DON'T
THINK THAT, UH...

WELL, I'M--I'M ACTUALLY
NEW ELI, AND...

I THINK THIS IS MORE
OF A CASE FOR... OLD ELI.

WELL, PERHAPS YOU TWO
CAN HAVE A CONFERENCE CALL.

OLD ELI IS UNIQUELY FAMILIAR
WITH THE WOLVERINE CASE.

HE HAS A SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE
WITH JEFFREY POWELL

IN HALF AN HOUR.
JEFFREY POWELL?

I-I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO MEET--
UH, KICK HIS ASS, SIR.

I'D LIKE TO HELP MR. STONE...
KICK IT.
VERY WELL, MS. DEKKER.

IT'LL DO YOU SOME GOOD
TO BILL SOME REAL HOURS

TO A REAL CLIENT.
SORRY I'M LATE, BUT I HAD
GOOD REASON--EXCELLENT REASON.

IN FACT, I WAS WELCOMING
OUR NEW HIRES.

I'M PLEASED TO INTRODUCE
KEITH BENNETT.

AND PROVING
THAT NEPOTISM AND MERIT

ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE...

MY DAUGHTER...
TAYLOR WETHERSBY.

YOU JOINED THE FIRM--
THE FIRM WHERE I WORK?

UNTIL LAST WEEK,
WE WERE ENGAGED.

IN FACT, WE SHOULD PROBABLY
TALK ABOUT LAST WEEK.

WE SLEPT TOGETHER. I DON'T
NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT.

RIGHT, I CAN TELL FROM THE WAY
YOU HAVEN'T RETURNED MY CALLS.

WERE YOU CALLING
TO GET BACK TOGETHER, ELI?

THAT'S EXACTLY WHY
I DIDN'T CALL YOU BACK.

PLUS YOU PROBABLY FIGURED WE'D
JUST SEE EACH OTHER AT WORK.

OH, DON'T READ ANYTHING INTO IT.
RIGHT. WHAT OTHER REASON
COULD YOU POSSIBLY HAVE

FOR SUDDENLY LEAVING
YOUR FIRM OF EIGHT YEARS

AND COMING TO WORK HERE
WITH YOUR EX-FIANCé?
GET OVER YOURSELF.

MY FATHER'S BEEN RECRUITING ME
TO WORK HERE FOR YEARS, OKAY?

THIS FIRM NEEDS A SPECIALIST
IN FAMILY LAW,

AND I HAPPEN TO BE A GOOD ONE--
AND EXCELLENT ONE.

IN FACT, W.P.K.
IS DAMN LUCKY TO HAVE ME.

JUST...

I-I GOTTA... JUST...
ONE--ONE SECOND.

IT'S KEITH, RIGHT?
I'M ELI.

WELL...
UH, WELCOME TO THE FIRM.

DONALD, YOU KNOW I'M NOT
ASKING YOU. I'M TELLING YOU.

SHOWING UP IN MY OFFICE
30 A.M.?

IT'S SAD, ACTUALLY, HOW MUCH
YOU OBVIOUSLY STILL WANT ME.

BENSE, WHAT IS IT?

JUST NEED A LITTLE FACE TIME
WITH MY FAVORITE EX-BOYFRIEND.
I'M YOUR ONLY EX-BOYFRIEND.

YOU'VE BEEN CRYING.
SOMETHING HAPPEN AT WORK?

IT'S NOTHING...

JUST MY LIFE
COMPLETELY FALLING APART.

IS THE BABY OKAY?
YEAH, THE BABY'S FINE.
IT'S DONNA.

SHE'S HAVING SOME SORT
OF BREAKDOWN. SHE'S MOVED OUT.

BUT... SHE'S PREGNANT.

I KNOW SHE'S PREGNANT.
I WAS AT THE EMBRYO TRANSFER.

IT'S MY EGG, FOR GOD SAKES.
I DON'T GET IT.
IS THERE SOMEONE ELSE?

YES.

JESUS.

MY FORMER LESBIAN LOVER IS NOW
A HETEROSEXUAL JESUS FREAK.

SHE'S SEEKING SOLE CUSTODY
OF THE BABY, MATT.

SHE'S HIRED A LAWYER.

YEAH?

WELL, SO HAVE YOU.

MR. POWELL? MAGGIE DEKKER.
I'M A BIG FAN.

I WROTE A PAPER DURING
MY SECOND YEAR OF LAW SCHOOL

ON YOUR STRATEGY
IN THE NUXOLL CLASS ACTION.

THIS IS A NEW TRICK--TRYING
TO DISTRACT ME WITH A SYCOPHANT.

IT'S LIKE YOU CAN SEE
RIGHT THROUGH ME, JEFF.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

YOU'RE THE WORST KIND OF
LAWYER--A HYPOCRITE WHO PRETENDS

SHE CARES FOR THE COMMON MAN

WHILE BIG BUSINESS
HEATS HER POOL. OKAY?
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE APPEAL.

YOU PULLED A RABBIT OUT.

BUT SINCE WE BOTH KNOW
YOU'RE OUT OF TRICKS--

YOU'RE THE EXPERT
ON TRICKS, ELI.
JEFF, WE WENT OVER THIS
FIVE YEARS AGO.

MY SUBPOENA'S
STILL ON THE BOOKS,

AS IS THE COURT ORDER
GRANTING MY MOTION TO COMPEL.
WHAT AM I MISSING HERE?

IT'S WHAT I'M MISSING--
STANLEY LYME.

I CAN'T FIND HIM, JEFF.

I'D HAVE BETTER LUCK
FINDING W.M.D.s IN IRAQ.

YOU COULD SUBPOENA THOSE,
MAYBE.
WHO'S STANLEY LYME?

AN ENGINEER,
WORKED FOR ZYRE MOTORS--

ONE OF 12
HE WANTED TO DEPOSE,

NONE OF WHOM HAD ANYTHING
OF NOTE TO SAY.
YES, BUT STANLEY LYME
IS THE ONLY ONE

TO CONVENIENTLY DISAPPEAR
RIGHT BEFORE I COULD DEPOSE HIM.

WHICH WASN'T MY FAULT.

WE'RE A LAW FIRM,
NOT WITNESS PROTECTION.

SO INSTEAD OF GOING
ON ANOTHER FISHING EXPEDITION,

WHY DON'T WE SETTLE THIS
AND AVOID REPEATING HISTORY?

IF YOU WANT TO.
THIS IS OUR NUMBER.

JUST CHECKING TO SEE
IF THE ZEROES EVER STOP.

IT'S HALF WHAT A JURY WILL AWARD
ADAM AND CORI FOR LOST INCOME,

PAIN AND SUFFERING,
PUNITIVES.

I ALREADY WON THIS
ONCE BEFORE.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
I WON'T AGAIN?

BECAUSE THIS TIME THE JURY
WON'T BE SHIELDED FROM

THE CONSEQUENCES OF ZYRE MOTORS'
CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE.
WAIT. WHAT'S HE TALKING ABOUT?

FIVE YEARS AGO, ADAM MITCHELL'S
INJURIES WERE SO GRUESOME,

ELI WAS ABLE TO CONVINCE
THE TRIAL JUDGE

THAT THE MERE SIGHT OF THEM
WOULD PREJUDICE A JURY.

SO THEY HEARD A DRY RECITATION
OF ADAM'S TESTIMONY TRANSCRIPT.

BUT THIS TIME,

THE JURY WILL HEAR ADAM'S STORY
FROM ADAM HIMSELF.

NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN,
MR. STONE.

UNDERNEATH THE RAINBOW,
IT SHOOK UPON THE ASPHALT

AND THERE WAS ALL
TO MAKE US FEEL...

YOU SPEND THE NIGHT HERE?

POSNER TOLD ME
TO BILL MORE HOURS,

SO I STARTED LOOKING FOR LYME.

NOT EVEN POSNER
WANTS YOU TO PAD THE BILL

LOOKING FOR A WITNESS THAT
COULD HELP THE OTHER SIDE.

WE ARE LEGALLY OBLIGATED
TO FIND STANLEY LYME.

NO, WE ARE LEGALLY OBLIGATED
TO MAKE A REASONABLE EFFORT

TO FIND HIM,
AND I MADE IT FIVE YEARS AGO.

BUT I WAS THINKING MAYBE
HE HAS FRIENDS, RELATIVES.
I FOUND THEM. I ASKED.
NOTHING.

THERE IS ACTUAL WORK I NEED YOU
TO DO FOR THIS CASE--

A CASE YOU VOLUNTEERED FOR,
REMEMBER?

WH--

THAT WAS BEFORE I KNEW WE WERE
WORKING ON THE SIDE OF EVIL--

REPRESENTING A COMPANY
THAT MANUFACTURES AN S.U.V.

THAT FLIPS OVER,
CRIPPLING PEOPLE?

THERE IS NO EVIDENCE
THAT ZYRE MOTORS

WAS RESPONSIBLE
FOR HIS ACCIDENT, MAGGIE.

LOOK, JUST BECAUSE
ADAM MITCHELL'S IN A WHEELCHAIR,

IT DOESN'T MAKE HIM A SAINT.
EITHER WAY, IT'S A YUCKY CASE.

IT'S "YUCKY"?
DID YOU GET YOUR LAW DEGREE

BY WATCHING "LEGALLY BLONDE"
A BUNCH OF TIMES?

WELL,
IF WE HAVE TO TRY TO WIN,

I'M AT LEAST GOING TO
MAKE SURE WE WIN BY THE RULES.

I'M FINDING MR. LYME.
YOU KNOW THIS WON'T MAKE
JEFFREY POWELL LIKE YOU, RIGHT?

I DON'T REALLY CARE
IF HE LIKES ME.

A LITTLE RESPECT WOULD BE
NICE... FROM BOTH OF YOU.

ELI!

HEY? WHAT?
HEY, HEY! WAIT. HEY!

BRAIN ANEURYSM, REMEMBER?

IT WAS BAD ENOUGH WHEN TAYLOR
WAS CALLING ME 16 TIMES A DAY.

NOW SHE'S WORKIN' HERE,
AND YOU DIDN'T STOP IT?
WELL, I DIDN'T KNOW,

AND BESIDES, IT'S NOT LIKE
SHE CONSULTED ME

BEFORE SHE TOOK THE JOB.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO,
GET HER FIRED?
NOW THAT'S GOOD THINKIN'.

I'LL GET YOU IN
WITH MR. WETHERSBY.
EVEN IF I COULD CONVINCE JORDAN
TO FIRE HIS OWN DAUGHTER,

I CAN'T DO THAT,
'CAUSE LAST WEEK, I-I SORTA...
GO ON.

SLEPT WITH HER.

YOU FELL OFF THE WAGON?

HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME?!
HEY! HEY! I WASN'T THINKING OF
YOU AT THAT PARTICULAR MOMENT!

WELL, THANK GOD!

AHEM!

MR. POSNER, WHAT A SURPRISE
TO SEE YOU HERE.

HOW ARE YOU TODAY, SIR?
PATRICIA.

YOU READY, MR. STONE?
WE'RE DUE IN COURT

FOR OPENING STATEMENTS
IN 20 MINUTES.

THE BABY WAS CONCEIVED
USING MY CLIENT'S EGG.

HOW ABOUT WE ALL AGREE

THIS IS SOMETHING OF
A GRAY AREA AND COMPROMISE?

JESSICA AND DONNA CO-PARENT.
AH, TYPICAL. YOU ASK US
TO CONCEDE EVERYTHING

WE BELIEVE IN,
AND YOU CALL IT A COMPROMISE.
NOT EVERYTHING.

MM?
DONNA'S FREE TO GIVE UP
CHICKS FOR DUDES.

IN FACT, ON BEHALF
OF DUDES EVERYWHERE,

I WELCOME HER ENDORSEMENT.
IN THE ABSENCE OF
A FORMAL SURROGACY AGREEMENT,

DONNA HAS ALL THE RIGHTS
THAT NATURALLY FALL

TO A CHILD'S BIRTH MOTHER,
INCLUDING THE RIGHT

TO PROTECT THAT CHILD
FROM ANY AND ALL INFLUENCES

SHE DEEMS HARMFUL.
I'M A HARMFUL INFLUENCE NOW?

I NEED TO PROTECT
MY BABY.
OUR BABY.

WE'RE CONFIDENT TO LET
THE JUDGE DECIDE THAT ONE.

I NEED YOUR BREASTS.

IS THIS SOME SORT OF TEST
TO SEE HOW LITIGIOUS I AM?

BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO SEXUAL
HARASSMENT, THE ANSWER IS VERY.

LOOK, I'M REPRESENTING A CHICK
WHO'S SUING A CHICK

WHO'S REPRESENTED BY A CHICK,
AND I JUST FOUND OUT

THE JUDGE HAPPENS TO BE...
A CHICK?

EXACTLY. YOU KNOW,
IF THEY WERE ALL BLACK,

I'D ASK THAT KEITH GUY,

BUT I REALLY NEED A WOMAN
UP THERE WITH ME.

THIS IS IMPORTANT.
AND YOU COULDN'T HAVE
JUST SAID THAT?

I THOUGHT I DID.

LOOK, THE CLIENT'S AN OLD
FRIEND. WE DATED IN COLLEGE,

AND SHE'S SUING
HER EX-GIRLFRIEND

FOR PARENTAL RIGHTS
OVER THEIR UNBORN FETUS.

YOUR EX-GIRLFRIEND'S
A LESBIAN?
WHO ISN'T THESE DAYS?

ANYWAY, IT'S A FAMILY CASE.
THAT'S YOUR THING,

AND I COULD
REALLY USE THE HELP.

BESIDES, THINK ABOUT HOW CRAZY
IT'S GONNA DRIVE STONE.

HA HA.

ALL RIGHT,
TELL ME ABOUT THE CASE.
OKAY.

IN ONE INSTANT,
A LIFE CAN CHANGE.

THEY SAY A PICTURE'S WORTH
A THOUSAND WORDS.

AT THE END OF THIS TRIAL,

YOU WILL BE ASKED
TO PUT A PRICE TAG

ON HOW MUCH THIS YOUNG MAN'S
ABILITY TO WALK IS WORTH.

I HOPE YOU'RE PREPARED
TO DO THAT.

OH, IT IS WONDERFUL
DATING IN MIAMI.

ALL THE SINGLE MEN UNDER 80
ARE COCAINE SMUGGLERS.

"THE GOLDEN GIRLS."
IT WAS A GREAT SHOW.

YOU'RE PROBABLY WONDERING WHAT
IT HAS TO DO WITH THIS CASE.

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU--

ABOUT AS MUCH AS THE FOOTAGE
MR. POWELL JUST SHOWED YOU.

THAT WASN'T THE S.U.V.
THAT ADAM MITCHELL WAS DRIVING,

AND THAT WASN'T ADAM MITCHELL
DRIVING IT.

OH, AND ADAM MITCHELL'S CAR
NEVER CAUGHT FIRE.

NO, THAT WAS JUST A STUNT
TO MAKE YOU ANGRY AT MY CLIENT.

MR. POWELL SAID
THAT AT THE END OF...

THAT AT THE END OF THE TRIAL,
YOU'LL BE ASKED TO PUT...

I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF DANGER
A PRICE TAG ON WALKING.

AND PEOPLE
ON THE STREETS...

ANYONE WHO LOOKS AT THIS TRIAL
FAIRLY AND OBJECTIVELY...

YOU LET ME KNOW

SO IF YOU LOVE ME

SAY YOU LOVE ME

BUT IF YOU DON'T,
THEN JUST LET ME...

JUST LET ME

JUST LET ME GO

MR. STONE!

NOTHING FURTHER.

WALKIN' ON MY FEET
AND ON MY HEAD...

I NEED FLIP-FLOPS TO GO
TO THE MEN'S ROOM,

AND NOW...
NOW THEY'RE SINGING IN COURT--

THE ONE PLACE
THAT'S BEEN VISION-FREE.

AND WHAT'S
THIS WEEK'S MUSICAL NUMBER?

IT'S "ONE MORE TRY"
BY GUESS WHO?

GEORGE MICHAEL? WHAT ARE YOU,
HIS COMEBACK TOUR?

CAN WE JUST PROCEED

TO THE VISION INTERPRETATION,
PLEASE?
"ONE MORE TRY"?

HERE YOU ARE,
TRYING A CASE ONE MORE TIME.

MAYBE GOD WANTS YOU TO DO THINGS
DIFFERENTLY THIS TIME.

GOD COULD SEND DOWN ONE OF
THOSE PILLAR OF FIRE THINGIES,

I STILL COULDN'T DROP
THE CASE.
FREE WILL IS WHAT DEFINES US,
ELI.

OH, REALLY? 'CAUSE I DON'T
FEEL LIKE IT WAS A CHOICE

TO BE A PROPHET, YOU KNOW?

THINGS WERE
SO MUCH EASIER BEFORE.

I WASN'T SO CONFUSED
ALL THE TIME

AND MORALLY CONFLICTED AND--

ALONE?

IS THIS STILL ABOUT TAYLOR?
SHE JOINED MY FIRM.

OH, THAT'S WHY
YOU'RE SO CRABBY.

I MISS HER. SEEING HER EVERY DAY
IS JUST GONNA MAKE IT WORSE.

ELI, WHAT YOU'RE
GOING THROUGH IS ROUGH.

YOU SHOULDN'T GO THROUGH IT
ALONE IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

MAYBE "ONE MORE TRY"
IS ABOUT HER.

WHAT IS THIS, MULTIPLE CHOICE?
DUDE, IT'S NOT LIKE
I HAVE A COPY

OF "PROPHECY FOR DUMMIES"
LYING AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
THE VISIONS ARE ABOUT?
IT WAS LIKE A SIGN FROM GOD.

MY FIRST ULTRASOUND, WHEN I SAW
THAT TINY LITTLE HEARTBEAT...

A SMALL MIRACLE
WAS GROWING INSIDE OF ME,

AND I... I REALIZED THAT
I WAS GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE

FOR ANOTHER PERSON'S SOUL,

AND I KNEW WHAT I HAD TO DO.

RENOUNCE
THE HOMOSEXUAL LIFESTYLE?

OBJECTION TO THE TERM
"LIFESTYLE"--

IT'S PREJUDICIAL,
CLOSE-MINDED AND OFFENSIVE.

IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU
SUDDENLY SO SUPPORTIVE

OF THE GAY MOVEMENT,
MR. DOWD.

NOW PIPE DOWN.

WELL, I NEVER
CONSIDERED MYSELF... GAY.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT
THAT I WOULD MARRY A MAN.

BUT, UM, I FELL IN LOVE
WITH JESSICA,

AND I THOUGHT THAT
I COULD LOVE HER ENOUGH

TO MAKE MYSELF SOMETHING
THAT I'M JUST... NOT.

MM-HMM. AND HOW DID YOU
COME TO THAT REALIZATION?
WELL, AFTER THE ULTRASOUND,

I STARTED GOING BACK
TO CHURCH.

AFTER A FEW MONTHS
AND A WHOLE LOT OF PRAYER,

I KNEW WHAT I HAD TO DO.

MY FAMILY
IS SPEAKING TO ME NOW.

THEY'RE WELCOMING ME
BACK HOME.

THIS IS WHAT I WANT.

THIS IS WHAT MY BABY NEEDS.

YOU'RE CARRYING A FETUS

CONCEIVED WITH JESSICA'S EGG,
AREN'T YOU?

YES, BUT--
WERE YOU INFERTILE?
SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR EGGS?

NO, NOTHING LIKE THAT.
THEN I'M CONFUSED.

WHY WOULD YOU GO THROUGH

A COSTLY
AND TIME-CONSUMING PROCEDURE

TO CARRY SOMEONE ELSE'S BABY,
MISS MILTON,

IF YOU DIDN'T INTEND
TO CO-PARENT?
I WAS A DIFFERENT PERSON THEN.
I WASN'T MYSELF.

YOU SEEM TO HAVE
A RELATIVELY SMART LAWYER THERE.

I'M KIND OF SURPRISED
SHE HASN'T TOLD YOU

THAT DOESN'T MATTER.

IT WAS INDESCRIBABLE.

I COULD BARELY BREATHE.

THE ROOF WAS CRUSHED IN,

AND IT WAS PRESSING
AGAINST MY HEAD.

AND I FELT LIKE

IF I JUST LET GO,
THAT IT WOULD ALL BE OVER.

WHAT KEPT YOU HANGING ON?

MY CELL PHONE, FUNNY ENOUGH.

IT STARTED RINGING,

AND I COULDN'T REACH IT,

BUT I COULD SEE CORI'S NUMBER
ON THE CALLER I.D, AND I KNEW...

THAT I HAD TO HOLD ON

SO THAT I COULD DANCE WITH HER
AT OUR WEDDING.

ACCORDING TO THE STATEMENT
YOU GAVE THE C.H.P.,

YOUR S.U.V. FLIPPED
WHEN YOU SWERVED TO AVOID--

AND--AND I'M QUOTING HERE--
"A METAL OBJECT IN THE ROAD."

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

WHERE WERE YOU DRIVING FROM
AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT?

UH, DEER HUNTER LODGE.

I WAS HAVING DINNER
WITH CORI.

YOU MEAN THE DEER HUNTER LODGE
AND TAVERN, ACTUALLY.

DID YOU CONSUME ALCOHOL
THAT NIGHT?

A FEW BEERS,
BUT I-I WASN'T DRUNK.

RIGHT.
YOU ONLY HAD "A FEW BEERS."

YOUR WIFE CALLED YOU
ON HER CELL. WHERE WAS SHE?

SHE WAS BACK AT THE LODGE.
THE LODGE AND TAVERN.

SO YOU LEFT WITHOUT HER?
CORI AND I--WE...

WE HAD AN ARGUMENT,
BUT IT WASN'T A BIG DEAL.
THERE MUST HAVE BEEN

QUITE A FEW POLICE AND E.M.T.
PERSONNEL AT THE ACCIDENT SCENE.

ANY OF THEM FIND
THE METAL OBJECT

THAT YOU SAY
CAUSED YOU TO SWERVE?
YOU WOULD HAVE TO ASK THEM.

UH, I DID.
I HAVE AFFIDAVITS

FROM, UH, FROM EVERY SINGLE
POLICE OFFICER AND E.M.T.

WHO WAS AT THE ACCIDENT SCENE
THAT NIGHT,

AND NONE OF THEM FOUND
THAT METAL OBJECT.

THAT'S TOO BAD.
OBJECTION--
FACTS NOT IN EVIDENCE.

I AGREE, YOUR HONOR. THAT METAL
OBJECT IS NOT IN EVIDENCE.
OVERRULED.

SO LET ME SEE IF I HAVE
THIS STRAIGHT, MR. MITCHELL.

YOU HAD A FEW DRINKS,
BUT YOU WEREN'T DRUNK.

YOU LEFT YOUR FIANCéE
ALONE IN A BAR

AFTER A FIGHT
THAT WASN'T THAT BAD,

AND YOU SWERVED TO AVOID A METAL
OBJECT THAT NO ONE FOUND.

THAT S.U.V. WAS DEFECTIVE.

THAT IS WHY IT ROLLED OVER.
YES, IT ROLLED OVER,

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN
IT WAS DEFECTIVE, SIR,

AND IT DOESN'T MEAN
THAT YOUR DRIVING WASN'T.

OH, COME ON, MAGGIE.
DON'T GIVE ME THAT LOOK.

I WAS DOING MY JOB.

WELL,
I DON'T WANT TO WATCH IT.

I WON'T BE IN COURT TOMORROW.
I'M GONNA FIND LYME.

MAYBE HE KNOWS WHAT'S RIGHT.

I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY
WITH YOURSELF.

DO ANY WOMEN AROUND HERE
LIKE ME ANYMORE?

WHERE THE HELL AM I?

HAWAII, BRAH.

HAWAII?

ELI?

ELI, ARE YOU OKAY?
YOU PASSED OUT
ON THE BATHROOM FLOOR.

I DID?

I'M CALLING
YOUR BROTHER.

UH, TAYLOR,
TAYLOR, COME IN HERE.

JUST...

PLEASE DON'T CALL NATE.

IN FACT, IT WOULD BE
VERY CONSIDERATE OF YOU

TO FORGET
THIS EVER HAPPENED.

WHAT ABOUT THE GUY WHO DRAGGED
YOU OUT OF THE MEN'S ROOM?
MM.

AND WHAT ABOUT THE 50
OR SO LAWYERS, PARALEGALS

AND ASSISTANTS
WHO SAW HIM DO IT?
I SAY I'VE BEEN DOING A CLEANSE,
AND I GOT LIGHT-HEADED.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED, ELI?

NORMAL STUFF. I-I-I WALKED IN,
AND SUDDENLY I WAS IN HAWAII.

IT'S JUST LIKE YOU TO GO
ON OUR HONEYMOON WITHOUT ME.

WELL, LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE,
YOU KNOW?

AT LEAST THIS ISN'T
YOUR PROBLEM ANYMORE.

I WANT YOU
TO BE MY PROBLEM.

YOU JOINED THE FIRM
BECAUSE OF ME?

YOU MAKE IT SOUND PATHETIC.

I DON'T THINK IT'S PATHETIC

TO FIGHT FOR SOMETHING
THAT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU--

SOMETHING THAT'S
THE MOST IMPORTANT.

I'M GONNA BE HERE EVERY DAY,
ELI, UNTIL YOU GIVE US--

ONE MORE TRY.

TAYLOR, IF YOU'RE FREE
TOMORROW NIGHT,

UH,
I THINK WE'RE SUPPOSED TO--

I MEAN, I-I'D LIKE TO,
UH, TALK THINGS OUT...

GO FOR DINNER TOGETHER?

I'D LOVE THAT.

YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME.

WHY ARE WE ONLY HEARING
ABOUT THIS ALLEGED WAIVER NOW?
IT'S UNFAIR SURPRISE.

THESE DOCUMENTS
WERE NEVER PRODUCED.
UH, WE JUST RECEIVED
MISS BENSON'S PAPERWORK

FROM THE CLINIC YESTERDAY,
YOUR HONOR.

BESIDES, THIS IS A MOTION
FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF,

THEREFORE NO DISCOVERY,

AND THEREFORE NO OBLIGATION
TO PRODUCE.

"DONOR HEREBY WAIVES ALL
PARENTAL RIGHTS AND RELINQUISHES

"ALL SUCH DUTIES TO ANY CHILD

RESULTING FROM THE FERTILIZED
HUMAN EGG HEREUNDER."

I CAN SEE WHY
YOU'RE POLEAXED.
MISS BENSON PROVIDED US WITH
ALL HER DOCUMENTS FOR REVIEW.

I ASSURE YOU THIS WAIVER
WAS NOT AMONG THEM.
NONETHELESS, SHE SIGNED IT.

FAIR POINT. WAIVER'S SIGNED,
WAIVER'S IN.

WHAT ABOUT VISITATION?

I'LL GO TO OHIO EVERY OTHER
WEEKEND. I'LL MOVE THERE.

COME ON.
DON'T DO THIS TO YOURSELF.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU MIGHT WANT TO START
CONSIDERING THE POSSIBILITY...

THAT YOU WON'T BE A PART
OF THE BABY'S LIFE.

BUT YOU HAVE OTHER OPTIONS,
JESS.

YOU CAN HAVE ANOTHER BABY...

WITH SOMEONE WHO LOVES YOU.

I'M NOT SAYING LIKE
A COUPLE OR ANYTHING.

I COULD JUST...
DONATE SOME OF MY BOYS.

HECK, IF YOU WANT, I COULD EVEN
DO IT THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY.

I'M TRULY SELFLESS
LIKE THAT.

MATT...

BENEATH
THAT FRAT BOY EXTERIOR,

YOU'RE ACTUALLY VERY SWEET.

YOU ALWAYS WERE.

BUT I DON'T WANT
JUST ANY BABY.

I WANT THE ONE I MADE
WITH THE WOMAN I LOVE.

RIGHT.

IT WAS DEVASTATING.

ONE MINUTE WE HAD
OUR ENTIRE LIVES AHEAD OF US,

AND THE NEXT I WAS
CHANGING OUT HIS CATHETER.

I GAVE UP MY CAREER
WHEN WE REALIZED

THAT ADAM WOULD NEED
ROUND-THE-CLOCK CARE.

IT MUST BE HARD.

WE TAKE IT DAY BY DAY.

SOME DAYS
ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS...

FOR ADAM AND FOR ME.

HOW DO YOU GET
THROUGH THE BAD DAYS?

I REMEMBER HOW CLOSE WE CAME
TO NOT HAVING ANY DAYS,

GOOD OR BAD.

ADAM TESTIFIED
THAT YOU TRIED CALLING HIM

AFTER HE LEFT THE TAVERN?

THAT'S TRUE.

PHONE RECORDS INDICATE THAT YOU
TRIED 7 TIMES IN 12 MINUTES.

I WAS WORRIED ABOUT HIM. I MEAN,
CLEARLY I HAD REASON TO BE.
YET YOU COULDN'T HAVE KNOWN
THAT HE'D BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

WE'D HAD A FIGHT. I WANTED
TO MAKE SURE THAT HE WAS OKAY.
REALLY? 'CAUSE IF MY FIANCéE
WAS CALLING ME LIKE THAT,

I'D THINK IT WAS PRETTY URGENT.
OBJECTION. THE WITNESS
TESTIFIED THAT SHE WAS WORRIED.

ONE PHONE CALL IS WORRIED,
YOUR HONOR.

SEVEN IN A ROW IS URGENT.
OVERRULED.
BUT TREAD LIGHTLY, MR. STONE.

MRS. MITCHELL,
WHY WAS IT SO URGENT

THAT YOU GET IN TOUCH WITH ADAM?
IF HE WASN'T THAT DRUNK,

HE WASN'T THAT ANGRY,
WHY WERE YOU SO WORRIED?
I DON'T KNOW. I--

YOU DON'T KNOW. YET YOU
CALLED HIM ONCE, THEN AGAIN,

THEN AGAIN, THEN AGAIN,
THEN AGAIN--
ADAM WAS ANGRY,
AND HE WAS ON THE ROAD,

AND IT WAS DARK--
AND HE'D HAD TOO MUCH
TO DRINK?

MAYBE. MAYBE HE DID.

AH, I'VE BEEN LOOKING
ALL OVER FOR YOU.

BET YOU THOUGHT
YOU COULD AVOID ME,

BUT WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW

IS THAT NO MAN ON EARTH
CAN HIDE FROM ME.

I FIND PEOPLE, AND I DON'T
JUST FIND ANY PEOPLE.

I FIND PEOPLE NAMED...
STANLEY LYME.

YES! NO. WELL, KIND OF. SEE,
I FOUND THE NEXT BEST THING.

I FOUND OUT WHO LYME MET WITH
RIGHT BEFORE HE DISAPPEARED.

WANNA KNOW HOW?
NO.

I CALLED ZYRE MOTORS
AND SPOKE TO THE HEAD OF H.R.

I ASKED HER WHEN STANLEY
STOPPED WORKING THERE.

SHE SAID THE LAST DAY HE WORKED
AT ZYRE MOTORS WAS JUNE 12th,

WHICH STRUCK ME AS FUNNY,
'CAUSE I REMEMBER THAT

ON JUNE 11th, SOMEONE HERE
BILLED ZYRE MOTORS 2 HOURS

FOR "LEMON REVERSAL."
MAGGIE--

DON'T YOU SEE? "LEMON" IS LYME!
SOMEONE HERE MET WITH LYME

BEFORE HE DISAPPEARED,
AND YOU KNOW WHO IT WAS?
MARTIN POSNER.

YOU KNOW THAT?

WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
I TOLD YOU I LOOKED FOR LYME.

I TOLD YOU THAT FURTHER LOOKING
WAS A WASTE OF TIME.

SO YOU KNOW POSNER MET WITH LYME
BEFORE HE DISAPPEARED?

WHAT--WHY DIDN'T YOU
DO SOMETHING?

SUCH AS WHAT, CONVINCING POSNER
TO PRODUCE THE WITNESS

HE WENT TO THE TROUBLE
OF HIDING IN THE FIRST PLACE?
WELL, WHAT ABOUT
DOING WHAT'S RIGHT,

WHAT'S REQUIRED BY LAW?
MAGGIE, I HATE TO BE THE ONE
TO TELL YOU THIS,

BUT WE WORK
AT WETHERSBY POSNER & KLEIN.

WE'RE THE GUYS WHO BEAT UP
ON PARAPLEGICS AND THEIR WIVES

WHEN WE'RE NOT BUSY MAKING SURE
SATAN'S GETTING A BREAK

ON HIS TAXES.
IF YOU THINK THAT,
THEN WHY DO YOU WORK HERE?

I THOUGHT YOU HAD CHANGED.
WHY DO YOU WORK HERE?
I MAY BE TRYING TO CHANGE,

AND I MIGHT NOT BE
PULLING IT OFF LATELY,

BUT AT LEAST I KNOW
WHAT THIS PLACE IS.

HAS IT EVER OCCURRED TO YOU
YOU MIGHT BE A BETTER LAWYER

IF YOU SAW THINGS
HOW THEY ARE

INSTEAD OF HOW YOU WISH
THEY WERE?

MAGGIE.

OH, OH

OOH

I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF DANGER
I'VE HAD ENOUGH

PEOPLE ON THE STREET

I'VE HAD ENOUGH

I'M LOOKIN' OUT FOR ANGELS
ANGELS

TRYIN' TO FIND SOME PEACE
PEACE

TEACHER
TEACHER, TEACHER

THERE ARE THINGS
THERE ARE THINGS

THAT I DON'T WANT TO LEARN

OH, THE LAST ONE I HAD

MADE ME CRY
MADE ME CRY

AND I WANNA HOLD YOU

TOUCH YOU

THINK THAT YOU'RE MINE

'CAUSE THERE AIN'T NO ONE
AIN'T NO ONE,
AIN'T NO ONE

FOR AN UPTOWN GIRL
UPTOWN

WHOSE TEACHER HAS
TOLD HER

GOOD-BYE
OH, OH

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO,
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO
OH, OH

OH, LET ME KNOW
OH, OH

ONE MORE TRY

I NEED ONE MORE TRY

HEY

TEACHER

I KNOW THIS IS
A STRANGE QUESTION.

LIKE YOU ASK
ANY OTHER KIND.

ARE YOU BY ANY CHANCE, UH,
A MEMBER OF A GOSPEL CHOIR?

WHY, YES, I AM.

ALL BLACK PEOPLE ARE,
PARTICULARLY ALL BLACK WOMEN.

WE LOVE TO RAISE OUR HANDS
AND PRAISE JESUS!

YOU'RE BEING SARCASTIC NOW.
NOT JUST NOW.

SO YOU'RE NOT IN A GOSPEL CHOIR
WITH, SAY, A RELATIVE OF A GUY

NAMED STANLEY LYME
WHO KNOWS WHERE LYME WENT

AND WHY NO ONE CAN
FIND HIM?

WHAT IS THIS ABOUT, ELI?

I'M SORRY. I JUST...

MAGGIE'S RIGHT.

I-I PRETEND TO BE
THIS NEW GUY, BUT, UH...

I'M STILL POND SCUM.

OLD ELI REARED HIS UGLY HEAD
IN COURT TODAY,

SAVAGING
A PARAPLEGIC VICTIM'S WIFE--

OLD ELI, WHO LET MARTIN POSNER
HIDE A WITNESS

WHO JUST MIGHT MAKE
THE PLAINTIFF'S CASE.

I WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING,
BUT...

I'VE WAITED FIVE YEARS
TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT.

DON'T ASK ME WHY I KNOW
OR HOW I KNOW,

BUT I KNOW
WHERE STANLEY LYME IS.

WHAT? HOW?
WHAT DID I JUST SAY?

NOW DO YOU WANT TO KNOW
WHERE LYME IS OR NOT?

GET YOUR STUFF. MEET ME
DOWNSTAIRS IN TEN MINUTES.

OUR FLIGHT LEAVES IN AN HOUR.
FLIGHT?

YOU WERE RIGHT. THAT'S THE LAST
TIME I'M GONNA SAY IT, OKAY?

HEY. I WAS JUST THINKING
ABOUT WHERE WE SHOULD...

WHAT IS IT?
I'M SORRY.
I HAVE TO WORK TONIGHT--

THE ZYRE MOTORS TRIAL.
YOU KNOW, I WOULDN'T CANCEL

UNLESS IT WAS
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.

ELI, SHOULD I PACK
AN OVERNIGHT BAG?

OH, NO, NO

DON'T WORK TOO HARD.

WH--TAYLOR?

SO...

NO OVERNIGHT BAG?

STILL HERE?

I HAVEN'T FOUND ANYTHING

THAT TRUMPS THE WAIVER
JESS SIGNED YET.

NOTHING PROVING DONNA
INTENDED TO STAY WITH JESSICA?

I'VE LEARNED MORE
ABOUT LESBIAN LOVE

THAN I EVER CARED TO KNOW.

AND BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU
THAT'S A HIGH BAR.

HEY, YOU WANT TO GRAB
A DRINK?

SO STONE'S OUT
AND DOWD'S IN, HUH?

ALL RIGHT.
LET ME CLEAR OFF THE DESK.

YOU'RE NOT REALLY
THIS MUCH OF A PIG.

NO, I AM. THE ONLY WOMAN I
WASN'T LIKE THIS WITH WAS JESS.

PATHETIC, I KNOW.

NO, IT'S NOT PATHETIC.

I KNOW A THING OR TWO ABOUT
WANTING WHAT YOU CAN'T HAVE.

YOU KNOW, IF I DIDN'T
KNOW HIM ANY BETTER,

I'D NEVER BELIEVE STONE COULD
BE DUMB ENOUGH TO LET YOU GO.

HE HASN'T.

I MEAN... I MEAN, WE'RE--

YOU KNOW, WE'RE STILL
WORKING THINGS OUT.

RIGHT.

WELL, LET ME TELL YA...
THANKS.

THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN
LOSING THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE

IS HAVING HER FIND
THE LOVE OF HERS.

YOU'RE A THERAPIST
WHEN SHE'S HAPPY,

A RELATIONSHIP COACH
WHEN THEY FIGHT...

A CAMERAMAN
WHEN THEY THROW A PARTY.

OH.

DID YOU RECORD THE SHOWER?

IT WAS A PARTY
FULL OF LESBIANS.

THERE WAS NO WAY I WASN'T
GOING TO RECORD IT.

MATT, YOU GOTTA
GET ME THAT TAPE.

OKAY, SO WE KNOW HE OWNS
A SURF SHACK, RIGHT?

UH, SO MAYBE WE CAN
NARROW DOWN THE CANDIDATES

BY POSING AS SURF JOURNALISTS
AND--
THE TOWN'S ABOUT A BLOCK LONG,
VERONICA MARS.

IF YOU'RE SO SMART,
YOU FIND IT.

WHAT?

AM I MISSING SOMETHING?

I THOUGHT THE WHOLE POINT
OF ME DISAPPEARING

WAS THAT YOU GUYS WOULDN'T,
YOU KNOW, APPEAR.

YES, BUT I RECENTLY LOCATED
MY PROFESSIONAL CONSCIENCE.

WELL, MAZEL TOV,
BUT THAT'S YOU.

FOR ME, DISAPPEARING
WASN'T ABOUT CONSCIENCE.

IT WAS ABOUT SURVIVAL.

ZYRE MOTORS
PUT OUT A HIT ON YOU?

JUST IGNORE HER.

YOU EVER SEE "THE INSIDER"?

THAT'S ACTUALLY
A PRETTY ACCURATE DEPICTION

OF WHAT HAPPENS TO
WHISTLE-BLOWERS IN THIS COUNTRY.

DOING THAT R.P.E.

WAS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE
I EVER MADE.

WHAT'S AN R.P.E.?

ROLLOVER
PROPENSITY EVALUATION.

WHAT DID YOU TEST?

ZYRE MOTORS ALWAYS
TESTED THEIR S.U.V.s'

STATIC STABILITY FACTOR--
THAT'S ITS RISK OF ROLLOVER--

USING CARS
WITH OPTIMAL TIRE PRESSURE.

BUT TIRES LOSE
THEIR AIR PRESSURE, RIGHT?

AND--AND YOU TOLD
ZYRE MOTORS ABOUT THIS?

WROTE UP A FULL REPORT
TO MR. REIDY HIMSELF.

HE BURIED IT.
A FEW MONTHS LATER,

I GET PAID A VISIT
FROM A PARTNER IN YOUR FIRM.

HE'S GOT A CHECK
FOR $2 MILLION

AND A FEW SUGGESTIONS ABOUT
HOW I MIGHT WANT TO SPEND IT.

I'M REALLY SORRY YOU GUYS
CAME ALL THIS WAY,

BUT I-I WON'T TESTIFY.
GOT A WHOLE NEW LIFE NOW,

AND I'M NOT RISKING IT
BY SAYING SO IN OPEN COURT.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, MR. LYME.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
WHAT?

...WROTE UP A FULL
REPORT TO MR. REIDY HIMSELF.

HE BURIED IT.

A FEW MONTHS LATER,
I GET PAID A VISIT

FROM A PARTNER IN YOUR FIRM.

HE'S GOT A CHECK
FOR $2 MILLION

AND A FEW SUGGESTIONS ABOUT
HOW I MIGHT WANT TO SPEND IT.

WELL, I SUPPOSE
I HAVE TWO REACTIONS.

FIRST IS, YOU'RE FIRED.

I DON'T CARE WHAT PIECE
OF PAPER JORDAN SIGNED.

SECOND IS, WE HAVE
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

THIS IS HEARSAY.
IT'S INADMISSIBLE.
YOU CAN'T FIRE ME
FOR DISCHARGING AN ETHICAL

AND LEGAL OBLIGATION
PURSUANT TO A VALID SUBPOENA

AND MOTION TO COMPEL.
AS FOR THE HEARSAY ISSUE,

OUT-OF-COURT STATEMENTS
CAN BE ADMISSIBLE

WHERE THE WITNESS IS
UNAVAILABLE, AND WE PROBABLY

DON'T WANT TO INVITE
AN INVESTIGATION AS TO WHY

MR. LYME IS UNAVAILABLE.
YOU'RE NOT REALLY BLACKMAILING
A PARTNER OF THIS FIRM

AND ONE OF ITS CLIENTS?

"BLACKMAIL"
IS AN UGLY WORD, SIR.

I THINK A BETTER TERM,
AND FOR ALL OUR SAKES,

A MORE ACCURATE ONE,
IS "LIMITATION OF LIABILITY."

YOU HAVE EXPOSURE HERE.
ZYRE MOTORS HAS EXPOSURE,

AND I AM SUGGESTING A WAY
TO LIMIT THAT EXPOSURE--

SPECIFICALLY, WE SETTLE,

PREFERABLY BY OFFERING
AN AMOUNT SO SUBSTANTIAL

THAT THE PLAINTIFFS HAVE
NO CHOICE BUT TO ACCEPT,

THUS MAKING SURE CERTAIN
QUESTIONS DON'T GET ASKED.

OR YOU CAN THROW THAT RECORDER
IN THE TRASH.

I DOUBT I'LL BE DOING THAT,
SIR.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH
FOR COMING TO OUR EGG PARTY,

ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO MADE
THIS JOYOUS OCCASION POSSIBLE,

BUT MOSTLY TO JESSICA,

FOR GIVING ME
THE MOST PRECIOUS OF GIFTS--

LITERALLY A PIECE OF HERSELF.

HONEY, I WANT YOU TO KNOW
YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE MY HEART.

THIS WAS SHOT
AFTER MISS MILTON TESTIFIED

THAT SHE HAD GONE
BACK TO CHURCH,

AFTER SHE CLAIMS THAT

SHE WAS HAVING DOUBTS
ABOUT HER RELATIONSHIP.

SEEMS TO ME YOU'VE GOT
TWO CHOICES HERE, YOUR HONOR--

GIVE MY CLIENT
EQUAL PARENTAL RIGHTS

OR GIVE MISS MILTON
AN OSCAR.

THIS ISN'T OVER YET.

JEEZ, JEFF, CAN I AT LEAST
GET THE OFFER OUT

BEFORE YOU REJECT IT?
THIS IS WHAT OUR CLIENT
IS PREPARED TO SETTLE FOR.

$5 MILLION. SEALED.
WE CAN WIRE THE MONEY TODAY.

TRIAL'S NOT GOING
THAT BAD FOR YOU.

SOMETHING'S
GOT YOU SPOOKED.

YOU WISH. NO, MISS DEKKER HERE
PREVAILED UPON ZYRE MOTORS

TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
SHE CAN BE VERY PERSISTENT.

MISS DEKKER,
IF YOU EVER DECIDE

TO LEAVE
THIS INSIDIOUS INSTITUTION...

THANKS, BUT, UM...

ON WEDNESDAYS,
THEY GIVE US MUFFINS.

LOOKS LIKE
WE'VE GOT A DEAL.

BUT I WILL DRAFT
THE SETTLEMENT PAPERS.

JEFF, ARE YOU EVER
GONNA TRUST ME?

CONGRATULATIONS.

MUFFINS?

WELL, YOU WANTED TO KNOW
WHY I WORK HERE.

THERE YOU GO.
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MUFFINS.

YOU DID THIS.

DON'T BOTHER DENYING IT.
I KNOW IT WAS YOU.

YOU KNOW WHAT WAS ME?

DO NOT INSULT MY CONSIDERABLE
INTELLIGENCE, PATRICIA.

YOU TOLD STONE
WHERE TO FIND THE ENGINEER.

HAVEN'T YOU
PUNISHED ME ENOUGH?

YOU'VE BARELY ACKNOWLEDGED
MY EXISTENCE IN FIVE YEARS.

YOU DO REALIZE IT'S BEEN...

IT'S BEEN FIVE YEARS
SINCE YOU BROKE UP WITH ME?

IT'S ALSO BEEN FIVE YEARS
SINCE ELI TRIED THIS CASE

FOR THE FIRST TIME.
YOU ENDED THINGS BETWEEN US
BECAUSE OF THIS CASE?

BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU DID
IN THIS CASE.

AND I LET YOU,
BECAUSE I WAS FALLING FOR YOU.

SO I LOOKED THE OTHER WAY.

WELL...

NOW THAT IT'S BEHIND US...

DO YOU THINK
THERE'S A CHANCE

WE COULD GIVE THIS...

US...

ONE MORE TRY?

I'M SORRY, MARTIN.

I DON'T.

ALL RISE.

THE LAW IS CLEAR.

THE WAIVER IS LEGALLY BINDING,

AND THE EXCEPTIONS
DON'T APPLY IN THIS CASE.

BUT... THE... SPIRIT

OF THOSE EXCEPTIONS--

THAT THE PARTIES' TRUE
INTENTIONS BE HONORED--DOES.

ACCORDINGLY, I FIND THAT

THE INTENTION OF THIS COUPLE
WAS TO CO-PARENT THEIR BABY

AND THEREFORE GRANT
MS. BENSON'S PETITION

FOR JOINT CUSTODY.

I'M, UH,
FURTHER ENJOINING MS. MILTON

FROM LEAVING THE BAY AREA.

YOU CAN RELY ON ME

WE'RE ADJOURNED.

THANK YOU.
SURE.

LET YOUR SOUL REALIZE

DONNA...

I TALKED IT OVER WITH MY FAMILY
AND OUR MINISTER,

AND WE ALL AGREED
THAT IF THIS HAPPENED...

IT WOULD BE BEST
THAT AFTER THE BIRTH,

I JUST GO BACK HOME TO OHIO.

YOU MEAN--

YOU CAN HAVE HIM.
I WON'T CONTACT YOU AGAIN.

"HIM"?

YOU CAN RELY ON ME

IT'S A BOY.

WE WERE ONLY

WE WERE ONLY LOVIN' YOU...

I'M SORRY. I'M SO SORRY.

THAT THING WITH MAGGIE
WASN'T WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE.

AT LEAST WE'RE ACKNOWLEDGING
WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE.

I GUESS
IT WOULDN'T HELP IF I SAID

I'D SOONER PULL OUT
MY NOSTRIL HAIR

THAN SPEND SIX HOURS
ON A PLANE WITH MAGGIE.

PULL OUT YOUR NOSTRIL HAIR?
REALLY?

IT'S NOT IMPORTANT.

I SHOULD NEVER HAVE
COME TO WORK HERE.

WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT.
WILL WE?

WILL I EVER REALLY BE ABLE
TO MAKE YOU HAPPY, ELI?

ELI, JORDAN WANTS TO SEE YOU.

HE SAYS IT WON'T WAIT.

CONGRATULATIONS, STONE.

YOU WANTED TO SEE ME?

MORTON REIDY,
C.E.O. OF ZYRE MOTORS--

YOU KNOW, THE MAN
YOU EXTORTED INTO SETTLING--

FILED A GRIEVANCE
WITH THE STATE BAR.

HE COULDN'T DO THAT WITHOUT
ADMITTING HE PAID OFF A WITNESS.

YOU'RE ASSUMING THE GRIEVANCE
WAS RELATED TO STANLEY LYME.

YOUR LITERAL SONG AND DANCE
IN OPEN COURT

WAS THE BASIS
FOR HIS COMPLAINT,

CALLING INTO QUESTION
YOUR FITNESS TO PRACTICE LAW.

I'M NOT GONNA LIKE
WHERE THIS IS GOING, AM I?

THE BAR APPOINTED
A PROSECUTOR WHO'S LEARNED

THE ZYRE MOTORS TRIAL
WASN'T YOUR ONLY INCIDENT.

SHE'S RECOMMENDED

THEY INITIATE DISBARMENT
PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, ELI.
