Previously onMatlock...MATTY: The law firm

Jacobson Moore hid documents

that could have taken opioids
off the market

ten years earlier.

Think of how many lives
that could have saved,

including our daughter's.

Big Pharma, big money.
That's where I want to be.

I've got a new case
with Wellbrexa

and I am
bringing you on.

Claudia Isabella Ortega,
will you marry me?

I just don't think
that we belong together.

Before we separated,

when things
were really bad,

I had an affair.

Olympia...

So, Julian
asked Senior

how they should
take care of Wellbrexa...

And all Senior says is,
"It's handled,"

with a damn attachment.

The attachment could be
the missing documents.

What do you need to make
one of those AI voices, Alfie?

Stuart, I forgot
my email password.

Forward slash and
exclamation point at the end.

Don't let him trip you up
on the stand.

The prosecutor is gonna try
to get in your head,

but you know what you saw,

so you stick to your story.

I will,

but I'm telling
you, my part

isn't that big.
You don't have to come.

Are you kidding me?

I wouldn't miss your mock trial

for anything in this world.

I already put a doctor
appointment on my work calendar.

And let me tell
you something,

your part is big.

Whole cases
ride on eyewitnesses.

What's wrong, darling?

I forgot
my diorama.

I told you
to put it by the door.

Put yourself
by the door.

Enough. Where is it, Court?

My desk.

Okay, you have
to remember

these things,
baby, all right?

And remember,
if Jackson is mean,

don't engage.
You just walk away,

you tell your teacher,

and you just try not to let him

get under your skin.

Sweetheart, what can
I do to make it better?

Get to Senior's computer
today and download

the attachment.

He's in Europe,

I got his password

and a bottle of Scotch,

and that's the plan.

I really think
it's the missing documents.

Me, too.
And Julian's texting me

about a new
Wellbrexa case,

which means he's
bringing me back in,

which means...
It's all
happening.

...it's all
happening.

And right now,
school is happening.

So, you just
ignore Jackson, okay?

I'll see you
at the mock trial.

I love you.
I love you.

I love you.Bye.

Bye. I'll leave your diorama
at the front desk, Court.

Thanks, Mom.

James forgot his
project, too.

You think they
do it to punish us

because we
work too much?

You know they do,
but you're supposed

to tell me to let
the mom guilt go, Lacy.

Let the mom guilt go.Okay.

Besides, you're balancing
better than I am.

I haven't set foot in
that school for months

'cause I've been so
slammed at the office.

Tonight, James
is having dinner

with our elderly neighbors
because the nanny's sick,

Elliot's traveling...

Why don't I have Rosie
pick him up from school?

The kids can have a playdate,

and she can drop them
at the office for pizza.

It's my turn anyway.

Thank you so much.

I would kiss you,
but imagine the rumors.

Speaking of, Nanny Cams,
11 o'clock.

Quick, before
they see us.

Okay, thank you again.
See you tonight.

Excuse me.
Mrs. Olympia?

Oh, hi, Nadira.

I'm so sorry to be
ambushing you like this,

but Mrs. Charlotte fired me

for something I didn't do, and
you've always been so nice,

and Rosie told me that you help
people, and I really need help.

Please.Okay, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Not here, though.

Come on.

Stuart.

Yes, that is my name.

I'm just surprised to see you.

I thought you said
you get to work from home

when Senior's traveling.Well,

today he decided
he wants me at the office

during European hours,
so I've been here

since 3:00 a.m.
Did you need something?

Uh...

...just to drop this off.

Thank the big man
for putting me on Wellbrexa.

I'll put it on his desk.

Great, and if
I do need something,

I'll make sure
to ask you before 1:00.

More like noon.

And, please, need nothing.

Did you not hear
the 3:00 a.m. part?

Oh, trust me, Stuart.

I heard it loud and clear.

Billy's broken.
Claudia broke him.

It's bad, and there's apparently
no warranty on the human male.

Well, breakups are tough.

I mean, he and Claudia
were together for eight years.

I know, but still,
you need to fix him.

Do one of your spells.

Well, I'm not a magician.

I'm just a gal
trying to get into

her office.Okay.

See what I mean?

He's a shell.

As fragile as
a Forever 21 T-shirt.

He looks fine.

It's a facade.

These aren't
noise-canceling.

Billy, why don't you share
what you're listening to?

Adele.

First two albums.

Billy, I'm so sorry.

See? Clearly not fine.

It's also fine
to not be fine.

I concur,

as long as you keep
the appearance of being fine

in the office
and the appearance of being

not fine out
of the office.

What? We're saying
the same thing.

I just wish
I knew why, you know?

Nothing happened,

no one cheated.

Morning. Need you three
in the meeting room.

Um, well,
actually,

Julian is
expecting me

on his next
Wellbrexa action.

Julian will understand.

I take Hayden
to the park every Tuesday.

But we come
back home that day,

and Ms. Charlotte
fired me

because there's pictures of
us all over Eyes from Afar.

It's an online forum.

Parents can track
their nannies and children,

among other things.

It's a nightmare.

We can't go anywhere
without being scared

someone is watching us.

Who would
do something so terrible?

What did the post accuse you of?

There were
several photos.

One made it look like
Nadira was yelling at Hayden.

But we were really playing

"No, no monsters."
It's just a silly game.

And then there's
this one.

Hayden was about to run
into the street.

It's ridiculous.

I-I would never hurt him.

But now no one will hire me.

I-I can't even
get an interview.

I send money back home
to my family.

I'm supposed to make enough
to send for my kids

to come over.

It's been a year
since I've seen them.

I'm so sorry.

You shouldn't
have to choose between

providing for your children
and being with them.

We'll file

a cease and desist,
get the photos

removed from the site.
This will allow you

to get a new job
sooner rather than later.

Matty, let's go
talk to Julian.

What's Billy's deal?

Claudia rejected
his proposal.

Ugh. Well, people
let you down.

Better he know now.

Dropping Matty off?

No, she's with me today.

I'm filing a cease
and desist against

Eyes from Afar on behalf
of Nadira Freeman.

Wait, Nadira,
Charlotte's nanny?

Well, technically, Charlotte's
children's former nanny.

Getting involved in school drama
is a death wish.

It's not drama,
it's a legal case.

A legal case
that will get back

to the Mulberry
Prep moms.

What do you call them,
the-the Nanny Cams?

Jill Clark is on the board of
that Big Brother nanny website.

Which is why Matty
will be the face of the case.

Jacobson Moore
is a huge firm.

If Matty argues
the motion,

no one will know I had
anything to do with it.

Uh...Come on,

you know Nadira.
Yeah.

She watched the
twins before.

And I feel
badly for her,

I just don't want it
to affect our family.

Oh, so now you're
prioritizing our family?

Uh, maybe I should step out?

We're going,
come on.

I'll, uh, bring you up to speed
on Wellbrexa later.

Uh... uh, hey.

Just to remind you,

I've only been in
court once since Y2K.

You did great,
and you'll do great again.

I have no doubt.
Only trust.

Who's the judge?

Francesca Caggiano.

A real ride-or-die
First Amendment gal.

Once used up half an evidentiary
hearing pointing out

every historical inaccuracy
in Hamilton.

Taking down a photo means
limiting free speech.

She won't go for it.

Unless it's a photo
of her nephew.

Kid got arrested
for public intoxication,

and Caggiano called in a favor
to get his mug shot pulled.

So, our best bet

is for you to not deny
free speech is involved here.

Just hammer home
that the harm to Nadira

outweighs any
free speech infringements.

Got it.

Oh, and, Matty,

remember,
no one can know that

I am connected
to this case.

Eyes from Afar
is no different

than the soapbox
at the town square.

This is where citizens come
to speak their minds,

to warn their neighbors
of potential danger.

These photos are
a sacred form

of free speech.
Deny the plaintiff's

cease and desist

to preserve that soapbox

and whatever's left
of the First Amendment.

Counselor,

hard act to follow.

Oh, don't underestimate
Ms. Matlock.

We've faced off before.
This woman's a shark.

What? No, I'm not.

Well, I'm allowed to say that,
and you're allowed to deny it.

It's all free speech.

That's clever. I like that.

I'll accept it,
Your Honor,

because I believe
in free speech, too.

And yes, I'm asking you
to limit it here,

but that's not
without precedent

when the harm is substantial.

We're not talking
about terrorism here,

Your Honor, these are just
concerned parents and caretakers

who are just trying to keep
their children happy and safe.

Which is exactly what
my client was doing,

keeping one of their kids

from running out into
the middle of the street.

Not according
to these photos.

Which were taken
out of context.

Even so, the potentialfor harm

doesn't even come close
to justifying censorship.

Judge, you have to look
at these photos like...

a mug shot.

Maybe for something minor.

Maybe even something
you didn't do.

But that doesn't matter,

because that one moment
captured on camera

screams "criminal"
to every job interviewer

for the next 40 years.

A photo like that
isn't just speech,

it's a scarlet letter,

branding you undesirable,
untrustworthy

and unemployable
for the rest of your life.

Well, I understand
the shark comment now.

Ms. Matlock,

I love my sister,
but my nephew's a moron

and deserved everything
he had coming.

Motion denied.

And not many people
know that story,

so tell Olympia Lawrence
I said hello.

I'm so sorry.

She was about to deny
Nadira's cease and desist.

I had to throw a Hail Mary.

Hold on. Hi, there.

I'm leaving this for my son,
Courtney Lawrence-Markston.

Thank you.

I'm back.

I-I-I fudged it, and I'm sorry.

It's not your fault.

I sent you there
knowing there was a risk.

I just hope it doesn't end up
being a big deal.

Olympia.

Why are you defending an abuser?

Abuse is a loaded word, Jill.

A picture is worth
a thousand loaded words.

Charlotte, Nadira is adamant

that those photos
were taken out of context.

This is ridiculous.

We never see you at school,
and you get involved in this.

This happens to be

ruining a woman's life.

And it's work, which we know
is your priority.

Luckily, Tessa,

your opinion of me
is none of my business.

I'm sure I'll be
talking to you all soon.

You still there?MATTY: Yes.

And I don't support
physical violence,

but if you accidentally tripped
one of those women,

it'd be a public service,
and I'll be your alibi.

We need to pivot to a John Doe.

Unmask the person
behind the account

and go after them
for defamation.

Which means we need to talk
to Julian again.

Ugh...

Honestly,
I don't feel comfortable

being in the middle
of whatever's going on

between the two of you
right now.

He cheated.

Oh, no.

Yeah. Years ago,

but I just found out, and, uh...

I don't know if I can bear
to be with him alone and...

Oh, I completely understand.

Right. Your husband
was unfaithful, too.

Well... this isn't about me,

and I'm so sorry.

I don't know if I should ask him
who it was.

Sometimes I think
I want to know, but...

I won't be able
to get through the day

without seeing her face.

What do you think?

I think...

...there's no good answers
when there's no good options.

Just what you can live with.

If you were here,
I'd give you a hug.

Or try to.
You'd probably flinch.

I wouldn't.

Okay, I probably would.

Well, in lieu of that...

...I'm happy to stick by you

when you talk to that
philandering dum-dum.

I'm a big girl.

I have to deal.

But I appreciate it, Matty.
I really do.

When do you have to leave
for the doctor?

I know you have
an appointment today.

Uh, couple of hours. I'm just
taking a quick lunch break.

My blood sugar's getting low.

All right. Talk to you later.Okay.

Hello? Stuart?

Come on, baby. Come on, baby.
Come on, baby.

Printer 511? 511.

Damn it.

102. Where's 511?

No problem, sir.
I'll grab the file.

Oh, hey there.

I forgot to leave my card.

No use kissing ass

if no one knows
the lips are mine.

Shh, shh, shh.

O-Okay, uh, I'm at
your desk, sir.

Where'd you
see it last?

Hi, there.
Um, I'm sorry to bother you,

but i-is there any way
to see a printer's history?

I mean, somebody must've
swiped my documents.

That happens all the time,
just reprint.Right,

but, uh, see, um, well,

the documents are sensitive.Oh...

So you don't want them
turned into security,

got it.
Let's see,

I think there's
a printer log.

Yup. Here.

You can see
who printed right after you.

Thank you very much.

Mm-hmm.

Olympia's assistant...

You're filing a John Doe?

There were personal
details in the post,

so we have defamation,
invasion of privacy...

Well, I thought this was over
after the cease and desist.

It was denied.
Stay calm, we're in public.

Let's go to my office.No thank you.
Public is perfect.

My hands are tied.No, they're the
exact opposite of tied.

They're untied,
literally on the wheel,

steering.Who is going to help Nadira
if I don't?

Just be careful
with the school stuff.

These moms are retaliatory,
they're mean...

Those are your words.

Which is why I wanted
to pull the twins last year.

I'll keep you
in the loop.

Finish the John Doe brief?

Uh...
We don't need it.

Because I have
this friend in tech...

Why'd you say
"friend in tech" weird?

I did not mean to.

Um, anyway,

I asked her if she could help us
find out the person

behind the anonymous account
that posted Nadira's pictures.

What? Could she?SARAH: Yeah.

I mean, I asked her
if it was above board,

and she said, "Theoretically,"
which I took to mean

don't ask any more questions.

Here's the email address.

Wait, TessaTalks25@aol?

Got to be
Tessa Winters.

She's one of Charlotte's
good friends,

but why wouldn't she just
tell her about Nadira?

Maybe Charlotte
is the kind of person

who shoots the messenger, or
maybe they're in on it together,

and she wanted to fire Nadira
and needed a reason,

or Tessa thinks that Charlotte
wouldn't believe her,

or she made it up...

Slow down.
I can't hear myself think.

Same.

Okay. Time to ask
Tessa some questions.

As long as
you're okay.

Billy's fine.
His favorite sports team

got crushed.
Men, am I right?

We are ready to interview Tessa.

Actually, transparently,

I'm not currently operating
at 100% battery.

No problem.

Everyone's human.
Thanks for telling me.

Yeah.
Actually, I should
do the interview

on my own,

since I know her.

Matty.
Glad I caught you.

Uh, I was hoping
to get your help

de-escalating
this whole situation

with Olympia
and Mulberry Prep.

No, you don't.

This isn't my first day

where you can flash
that handsome smile of yours

and... put me
smack-dab in the middle.

No, you're not
in the middle.

You're-you're on Olympia's side.

I'm asking you to be neutral.

She won't talk to me,
and I just don't want her

to go nuclear on the school
because she hates the people.

What are you asking exactly?

Look, I liked us
working together,

and I want it to continue.

Just make sure things
don't get out of hand, okay?

If I didn't know better, I'd...

think you were suggesting
a quid pro quo.

I don't care what you call it,

I just need to know
I can count on you, too,

that's all.

Well, hey there, Missy.

Hi.Is Olympia in?

Nope, in an interview.

Oh. Oh, that's
the Klein deposition.

I know she wanted a printout
of that. You know,

I'll just take it up to...She wants it for tonight,

all good.
Yeah, yeah.

Hmm. Got it.

I'm just gonna wait for her.

Need a break?
I can man the desk.

No.
Just on Instagram. Shh.

Cool.

Tessa, why would someone
post those photos of Nadira

from your email account?

Don't answer that.

And just a reminder
that my client is here

of her own volition
and has nothing to hide.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, stop it.

Stop it. Go find your mother.

Then let her answer
the questions, Perry.

Otherwise, I'm filing
the John Doe. It will be public.

Okay, look, you-you
are asking her to speculate

upon something that--

Don't-don't spray sunscreen
in your sister's eyes.

Make good choices. Come on.

I didn't post the pictures.

Came from your email.

A super old one.

I only use it for online
shopping, to control spam.

I haven't checked it in months.

Someone else did it.

Did your husband
use the account?

Ha!

Mark involved in nanny drama?

Go ahead, ask him.
He's on his way.

Enough.
Okay, I am losing patience.

Are you talking to me
or-or your kids, Perry?

Both. Last question.

Where were you
last Monday at 10:40 a.m.

when the photos were uploaded?

Mm, I don't know.

You don't smell that?

Maybe a little?

You need to go
get maintenance.

Oh, Annie, I'm telling you,
something's rotting.

And I have a nose for odor.

My former husband
ignored me once--

three weeks later,
the health department came in.

Not one, two dead raccoons

locked in an embrace.

Ew. I'll check
the trash cans.

I'm looking
for Olympia Lawrence.

Mark? I am so sorry, honey.

The Yorkshire showing ran late.

I'll save you time, Olympia.

Mark, where were you
on Monday at 10:40?

At the Yorkshire all day.
Have to sell 20 units.

See? Neither one of us
uploaded those photos.

This all seems
a little aggressive.

I'm sure it seems that way.

Annie, please show Mark
and Tessa to the elevator.

Yes.

Thank you.

How'd it go in there?

She says she didn't
do it, and--

I don't know--
I believe her.

So, I'm going to file an
emergency motion to authorize,

force the Internet service
provider to release

the IP address of the computer
that posted it,

which means, I have
to face Caggiano again.

I'm coming with you.
I mean, not in the courtroom.

I mean, Caggiano's scary as
mashed potatoes with no gravy.

But before, after,

I'll hold your hand, your bag.

I thought
you had a doctor's appointment.

Oh, it's just an eye exam.

I rescheduled it
after our phone call.

I mean, you've had a rough day.
You need backup.

Thank you, Matty.

That means a lot.

All right.

Ready?

I'm ready.

Olympia Lawrence. Glad to see
you and not your emissary.

Apologies.

I understand if you're
upset with me.

Trying to get it on the record
that I can't be partial?

Of course not, Your Honor.

Good.

So, an emergency motion
to authorize. Interesting.

Your Honor?Seems it's been

a settled area of law since 1996
when Congress passed

the Communications
Decency Act immunizing

websites from liability.

Excellent point.

If she doesn't get
the motion, then what?

Well, then she'll come up
with a new plan.

How old are your kids?

Five and three.
Oh.

They live with my mother.

Hmm.

I'm raising my grandson.

It's very different
circumstances.

My daughter...

She passed.

I'm really sorry
to hear that.

Thank you.

But I'm sharing that
with you because...

Well, my grandson talks
about his mother all the time.

And you should know...

...you're not forgotten.

The Dendrite opinion in 1991,

See's Candies in 1999.

Decades of precedent for
defamation of private citizens.

So you hate
the First Amendment

andthe Fourth Amendment?

Don't talk to me about
the Fourth Amendment.

The personal information
revealed in the caption

of these photos violates
my client's right to privacy.

Kind of like what you did
to the Honorable Judge Caggiano.

Okay, yes.

Let's talk about that.

Your Honor,

I apologize for sharing
your personal business

with my colleague.

It was inappropriate.

Agreed. You had no right.

Except... that I-I did.

Excuse me?

While it was poor form
for me to gossip about you,

I had every right to.

And as angry
as you may be, Your Honor,

there's nothing
you can do about it

because what I said is true.

That's free speech.

Once upon a time, you did

help your nephew,
but if you hadn't,

and I was going around
spreading that lie,

I wouldn't have a right
to defame you.

Just like the poster

on Eyes from Afar
doesn't have a right

to defame Nadira Freeman.

False equivalency.
There is zero evidence

that the person who posted

that picture intended
on making a false accusation.

Because we don't know
who posted it, or why.

So with full appreciation
of the right

to spread harmful true speech--

like what I did regarding
you and your nephew--

I ask

that you order Eyes from Afar
to reveal

the identity of the poster.

Look, if the photos are true,

I'll be the first
to withdraw my lawsuit.

But if they're false,
and thus, defamatory,

I know that you will be
the first to condemn it,

because free speech does need
to be protected.

Not false speech.

Which is why
I am standing here

holding a motion to authorize.

Incredible work, Olympia.

Where is the IP registered to?

A computer at Mulberry Prep,
in the library.

You're kidding me.

I guess we're not

going back to the office?No, we're going to the school.

You have to sign in to enter.

So we just need
the sign-in sheet from Monday.

Well, how are you gonna get it?

Oh, I'll get that list. I'd love
to see them try to stop me.

Can I say something?Hmm?

As a friend?

Today is not the day
to light everything up.

Tomorrow, if you want
to light up those moms,

I'll hand you the matches.

But you can't make
that decision now,

not when it's this fresh.

Let me get those sign-in sheets.

You got any
of those protein bars

that taste like leather and
cost more than dinner at Arby's?

Briefcase.

Blood sugar low again?

Ah, it's about to be.

Now, I just need

a nice big stack of papers.

Welcome to Mulberry Prep.

Hiya.Hiya.

I'm Luca's nana, the nice one.

Don't get me started
on the other side of the family.

Sign in right here.

Oh, no need. I'm not staying.

Luca forgot his snack,
and I was hoping

you wouldn't mind
giving it to him.

He's young, but he's not
too young to get hangry.

I'll pass it on.Terrific!

But we have five Luca's.
Which one?

Which...

one do I look like?

Amber's?

Bingo.

Our genes are strong,

which is probably why
his other grandma...

Oh.

Are you all right?Oh. I'm so sorry

for the dramatics.

Could I have some...?

Apple juice?

It's my blood sugar.

Always the damn blood sugar.

I'll be right back.Okay.

Thank you.

Hope you don't mind
that it's room temperature.

Oh. Oh.

Oh, thank you so much.

Done.

Hit it, Louise.

Copy that, Thelma.

Okay, I'm running in
for some family time.

Matty did an initial search.
Tessa's name

isn't on here, but
there was a PTA meeting,

so there were a lot
of people at the school

the day of the post.
Look for anyone

who has a connection to Nadira.

Got it, on it.

What are you doing?

Why would you inhale chocolate
right in front of her?Sarah.

Why can't you just be nice to me
for one day?

Billy, this is my way
of being nice.

Relationships come and go, but
work reputations are forever.

Résumés build.

And I don't want you to be seen
as some Gen Z snowflake.

Look, Claudia broke your heart,
which sucks.

But don't let her break

your long-term
earning potential, too.

Ready for a pizza party?

Always. Smiles
for the kids?

Always.

Hey.Hi, Rosie.

Thanks for getting
them set up.

And for taking care of James.
I know he's a handful.

Yeah, uh, speaking of,
I got these

matches from him.

Don't worry.
I, uh, got them off him

before he and Court
could set themselves on fire.

But you might want to talk
to Lacy about it.

He said
they were from her purse.

Yes, of course.

Go on.

Is it true?

Was it Tessa Winters
that made the post about Nadira?

What? You heard
about that already?

Oh, we hear everything.

Anything that could help us

figure out
if she was behind the post?

I don't know. I mean, I know
Tessa's definitely unhappy.

The nannies say

her husband's having an affair.

All right.

All right, well, let's let

Rosie get home. Uh...Okay.

And I will see you tomorrow.

All right. Bye.Yeah.

Good night.Good night.

So, what's your next move?

I'm looking into who was at
the school the day of the post.

Don't worry. Matty went in and
got the sign-in sheet, not me.

She did? Really?

Why did you say it like that?

Like what? Uh...No.

You're not going
to lie to me... again.

I asked Matty
to keep an eye on things.

Hi.

Hey. I'm sorry I missed you.

Alfie was great on the stand.

It's not the document.

What?

The email attachment--
it's not the document.

It's a photograph of Senior

in Sydney with some woman.

It was taken the same day the
Wellbrexa files went missing.

So whatever he meant
when he said, "It's handled"

was personal.

And Sydney means
Senior had an alibi,

so he couldn't have signed
for the documents.

So his signature was forged.

By Julian.

Or Olympia.

Huh.

Okay. Now you know more.

I know nothing, Edwin.

I missed Alfie's mock trial
for nothing.

Oh, honey, that's okay.

You know, I covered for you.
Just like the old days.

Excuse me?

You know, with Ellie,

when you couldn't make things
'cause you were working so much.

I made excuses.

And when you had your lectures--
Mondays and Wednesdays--

we never interrupted,

never asked you
to a recital or a game.

I wasn't in charge
of my own schedule.

No.

Because I built our life
around yours.

Because I felt so guilty
for working,

I smoothed out everything else,

every ride home, every dinner,
every sleepover, every playdate.

I agree! So, why are we even
fighting about this?

Because I miss one thing

and suddenly
you're bringing up Ellie?

What are the names of her
best friends in sixth grade?

Wha--? That was decades ago.

Jennifer, Lauren,
Monique, Ashley,

I will never forget those names.

And I won't feel guilty
for having had a career.

Smoking, really?

Sometimes I just like
to test my willpower.

Betrayal triggers me.

Julian said

he asked you
to keep me in check.

That's why you canceled
your doctor's appointment,

that's why you went
into the school?No.

I mean, yeah, he...
he asked me, but...

I acted as a friend.

A friend would have told me.

Hey, buddy, I'm sorry

I missed your mock trial.

Oh, I don't care.

Don't say that.

I mean it.

You said to try it,
and I tried it.

And guess what? The kids
are mean there, too.

Oh, sweetheart.

I'm just bummed
about the document.

Yeah.

What now?

Well, now we just have
to find another way in.

Somehow. It's all we can do.

Hey.

You want to use
your mock trial skills

to help me with my real case?

Weird.What?

Olympia's friend Lacy
lied to her for some reason.

Yes, it's right there.

Wow.

I told you.

Whole cases rest
on eyewitnesses.

Come on in.

Flowers are the usual
peace offering.

Bouquets can't do
what teddies can.

Oh. I am so sorry about this.

James knows how dangerous
matches are.

Thank you for telling me.

Is that it? Because you said
it was important.

It is.

I didn't want to call you
down to the office,

start rumors...The office?

It's about my case. Nadira.

I thought it was weird.

You said you hadn't been
to the school in months,

but you signed in the day
of the Eyes from Afar post.

Oh, I mean,

maybe James forgot
his lunch or something?

I can't remember exactly.

Got you.

Did you know the user
account of the poster

was registered to "TessaTalks"?

So either Tessa wrote it or

someone who wanted
to pin it on Tessa.

One of the Nanny Cams maybe,
they're constantly fighting.

Right. Maybe.

Oh, did you know
that Tessa's husband Mark

was having an affair?

I didn't.

Mm-hmm.

In court, we would call

these matches
that came from your purse,

Exhibit A.

But we're not in court, right?

Hotel Boucher,

that's where he and his mistress
would go, apparently.

Exhibit B.

The hotel is directly across

from the 96th Street
playground,

where Nadira Freeman
took the McDoyle children.

Exhibit C.

The Yorkshire building.

Tessa's husband Mark
is the listing agent.

Right next to Hotel Boucher,
also across from the park.

Everything's next to something

and on top of another thing.
It's New York.

Yeah. Maybe, Lacy,

but I asked Nadira

if you and Mark Winters
have been having an affair.

Talk to me.

Can I see your phone?

Sorry, I just want to make sure
it's not recording. Okay.

Olympia, I-I made a mistake.

Okay, it's over.
I was lonely.

I-I don't want to ruin
my marriage.

And Nadira?

She saw us leaving the hotel.

And all the nannies,
they gossip so much.

So you wanted
to get her fired?I just thought

that she'd get another job
downtown or something.

I didn't want to ruin her life.

You almost did, though.

Can I tell you
something?

Nadira never even
saw you and Mark.

In fact, your name
never even came up,

so you did all this
for nothing.

You need to come forward,
or I'll do it for you.

No. P-Please don't.

I'll deny it.

You're Nadira's lawyer,
you can't testify.
True.

Luckily, I recently
got a nanny cam.

Thank you. Oh, um...

You know Miss Charlotte?
Charlotte apologized.

She even offered me
my old job back.

You don't mean it. Are you gonna take it?

Hell no.

I'll miss those kids, but
with Lacy's settlement offer,

I'm finally bringing over mine.

Thank you for talking sense
into me. You're right.

Claudia shattered my heart,
and as painful as it is,

she is not shattering my career.

I'm over being sidelined,
which means we grind.

Are you in?

Obviously I'm in.Okay.

Yes...

Julian asked me
to keep you from going nuclear,

but that's not why I stopped you
from going into the school,

and I plan on making
that clear to Julian, too.

I believe you.

But?

I don't know.

You were acting
a little off yesterday.

Because I was lying.

Just about something else.

The appointment I canceled
wasn't the eye doctor.

My grandson had a school event.

What? Why not tell me?

Back in my day,

anything child-related,

you put on the calendar
as a doctor's appointment.

Unspoken rule,
you never mention

children when you were
interviewing for a job,

and when you got the job,

you pretended like the kid
didn't exist.

That must've been hard.

Yeah. Then,
when I noticed you

dropping everything
for your kids,

well...

I'm 75.

And life is still
brand-new sometimes.

Please tell me
when Alfie has something

because I will not
let you miss it.

I appreciate that very much.

Well, I appreciate you
very much.

Damn, I sound corny.

But I'm losing a lot of people
left and right these days,

and... well,

you mean something to me,
Matty Matlock.

You mean something to me, too.

How do you feel
about that hug?

Come on.

I want to make
something clear.

I didn't go
into that school

because you asked me to
keep an eye on Olympia.

In fact, I never
even considered it.

Oh, sorry.

I-I just, well...
I guess that killed

my big, dramatic speech.

I got it, Matty.

But I didn't consider it,
and... you should know that.

Because I was working for her.

And when I work for you again
on Wellbrexa,

you can expect
that same loyalty.

Count on that.

So you think he trusts you?

Time will tell.

Madeline.

I didn't mean
to make you feel badly,

bringing up Ellie.

Every single thing I missed,
I remember.

I didn't know that.

Well, now you do.

All right, it's all hooked up.
Let's see if it works.

What next?

I think Olympia's
got to get Lacy talking

and record her.

This store has
a lot of cool stuff.

Maybe we can use it, too.Wow.

Okay.

We'll see if this pen
was worth it.

We'll change schools,
you're right.

I haven't been hearing you.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

Not why I'm here, though.

What's going on?

In my day, we called
this television.

I need to know
who you slept with.

And that's enough.
