I realized that what I want

I mean, I don't even know what I want me to say.

I'm not going anywhere this time. I promise.
Yeah, well, I do have somewhere to go. To work.
Thanks for coming over.
Thanks for asking me over.
Does this mean I'm not a secret anymore?
Yeah, I told the girls.
What'd they say?
We can't sue Evan.
Why not?
Because...
he's my boyfriend.
All: What?
You're dating Evan Speck?
Since when?
Since before we walked out of Speckulate, sort of.
Is that why you broke up with Raj,
because you've been cheating on him?
What? No, not really.
I mean, it's kind of complicated but that's not the point.
Yeah, the point is, you've been lying to us this whole time.
No, I didn't lie.
I-I just didn't tell you because I didn't think
that it had anything to do with us or Bulk Beauty.
Oh my god. The last-minute pitch meeting with the Hallis Group.
Did Evan have something to do with that?
Okay, yes, Evan helped us set up the meeting,
but only because he believed in us and our idea.
After all we've been through, you're still defending him.
Okay, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you sooner,
but we can't sue him. I'm involved with him.
Well, maybe you can't...
but we can.
Well, let's just say they didn't take it well.
And they plan on suing you and Speckulate.
Because we're dating?
No, because of the harassment and discrimination
that they've experienced working for the company.
And to use the money to fund Bulk Beauty themselves.
This is bad. This is really bad.
Any pending litigation could delay the IPO.
What IPO? I thought you weren't taking the company public?
I was able to get some people off the board
and then make a deal where I maintain control of the company
as the majority shareholder. It's worth a lot of money.
-Wait, are you suing me too? -No, of course not.
But I think that you should settle with them.
Oh, I can't just settle. I mean, you know what kind of message that will send?
Anyone could come at us
with any unfounded lawsuit and extort money from us.
Well, their complaint isn't unfounded.
When the issues were brought to my attention, I addressed them.
Okay, I tried to close the gender pay gap.
I-I fired Josh, Sam, and Alex.
Okay, well, what about ACT-ivism?
I asked you to shut it down
when it was overrun by hate groups and you refused.
I told you why I couldn't do that.
I mean, there is such a thing as free speech and...
(sighs) Look, a lawsuit,
it could take months, even years to settle.
Not to mention the legal fees it will cost them.
Only if you fight them.
If what they really want is funding for Bulk Beauty,
I can do that.
Wait, what do you mean?
I can be a private, silent investor.
I mean, that way they get their funding immediately
and we can avoid all of this.
It is the obvious best solution for everyone involved.
So, Isaac's...?
Processing things.
At least, it's not over.
I not only walked out on the program,
I walked out on Ruby, too.
I'm such an idiot.
Wait, what happened with Ruby?
-(knocking) -Come in.
(door closes)
I am so... impressed by the courage
you showed, standing up for yourself today.
And my answer is yes.
To a relationship.
(scoffs)
Well, my answer is no.
You know, I didn't just stand up for myself today,
I stood up for all of us who have been called diverse
instead of our names, you know, valued for the optics we bring,
not what we bring to the table.
And I can't believe I was standing alone.
So I'm sorry, but I'm not impressed with you.
And I can't be in a relationship with someone
who only has my back when nothing is at stake.
-You did the right thing. -(grunts)
(sighs)
Is it too early to drink?
I think the rule is 5:00. Noon if you're really desperate.
Is it too early for edibles?
There are no rules about that.
Oh, hi.
I take it she's not in yet?
You hear anything about what the FBI has got on her?
Uh, no.
You had something to do with the disappearance of a witness?
My client, Albert Chen, told me he had a source in the FBI.
This source informed him that his wife, Denise,
was making a deal to testify against him,
but he wasn't going to let that happen.
Knowing the company he kept, I was concerned for her life.
So I saw to it that
Denise was tipped off, and apparently she took off.
But that's all I know.
What, and you didn't tell anyone?
That would be breaking attorney/client privilege.
You can break privilege
if you think your client is attempting to harm someone.
Except he didn't explicitly say he was going to harm her.
Look, I had to act fast.
I couldn't trust the FBI
because there was a bad apple on the inside
that would tell my client that I went to them
and then my life would have been in danger.
So have you been charged?
No, they don't have proof that I did anything wrong.
They want Albert Chen and they're trying to scare me
into giving them something on him.
Yeah, but why hire me as your lawyer?
I mean, why not one of your former partners?
They're the best defense lawyers in town.
I'm the best defense lawyer in town.
And it is simple, I trust you.
Do you think she's coming in just to tell us
she's closing up shop and to start looking for new jobs?
I mean, how are we going to try a murder case if she's being indicted?
We don't know that she's been indicted.
Even if she's being investigated,
she can still try the case.
All right, gang, we have a two-week reprieve,
but the time stamp on the security system
is not a smoking gun.
We will need to be prepared for the prosecution
to adjust the timeline to suit their case,
because that's what they do.
Now, since we have motive and opportunity against us,
the next best way to get our client off
will be to convince the jury that this was an accident,
not a murder. Where's my latte and scone?
There it is.
(heartbeat)
Is that the heartbeat?
Yeah.
Whoa, that's so fast. Is that normal?
Normal and healthy. (laughs)
Based on what I am seeing here,
I'd say you are 9 to 10 weeks pregnant.
(laughs)
How are you feeling there, Dad?
The prosecution says Tommy hit Zack with the rock
on the back of the head.
Hard to call it a murder weapon with no prints on it.
Can you even pull prints off a rock?
Actually, I've been reading sometimes you can.
There are new techniques.
Maybe we bring in an expert to testify to that.
Only ask questions you already know the answer to.
If we introduce new technology
and they match a print to Tommy's, it's all over.
Back again, what can we do for you?
We have a few more questions for you, Ms. Gale.
Of course, stop by unannounced any time you like.
Callie: So what do we tell Rowan and Tony?
(scoffs) Why do we need to tell them anything?
Because I'm a little worried they'll be offended
that you chose me to be your lawyer.
The FBI are going to drop the investigation as soon
as they realize I'm not talking and they have nothing to go on.
In other words, Tony and Rowan don't ever have to know.
Sure, I will need my lawyer present.
Callie?
(door closes)
-(heartbeat) -Everything looks perfectly normal.
Is this your first pregnancy?
-Yeah. -Aw, that's exciting.
Hey, so, um, I don't want to interfere,
but you don't really know Isabella that well.
Have you considered asking for a paternity test?
I just feel awkward asking.
Like I don't want her to think that I don't believe her, you know?
I know. But, you know, I think you have a right to.
When can we do a paternity test?
There's a blood test that you can do now
that checks the potential father's DNA
against fetal cells in your blood.
How much does that cost?
It's about 1,700 dollars.
Results are usually back in a week.
Okay, you can sit up now.
Thank you.
-Thank you. -I'll be right back.
I have some information for you to take home.
I know you're the father.
But I think that it's important that you do, too,
and I will cover the cost of the test, so don't worry.
Thank you, Isabella.
Can we at least split the cost?
I would normally say no,
but, um, my parents actually just cut me off, so...
it's okay, if you can swing it.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'll figure something out.
Um... why did they cut you off?
They didn't want me to have the baby.
They wanted me to have an abortion,
and, um, when I refused,
they said that they wouldn't continue supporting me
if I keep making bad decisions.
So, I am on my own.
I'm sorry.
It is so hard to tell that there's a baby in there.
Yeah.
-Okay, this is for you. -Thank you.
And I just had a few questions about your forms before you go.
You didn't fill out your home address?
I am, um, I'm staying at a motel right now.
The Pico Motor Lodge by the 5.
I don't, I don't know the address.
And your emergency contact?
Do I need one?
Uh, Gael Martinez. Here, I'll fill it out.
Ms. Gale no longer represents Mr. Chen.
Any questions concerning the time
that she did are barred by privilege.
We have a witness who will testify that you were in the room
when Chen said he would take care of his wife
so that she wouldn't testify against him.
If you already have a witness, why are you harassing my client
instead of talking to Albert Chen?
I'd guess that their witness isn't particularly reliable
and would be a tough sell on the stand.
That's why they need me.
Once again, did you have anything to do
with the disappearance of Denise Chen?
Does he always do most of the talking?
I mean, that must get annoying.
I'm advising my client not to answer any more questions.
And until you charge her with a crime,
she won't be available for any additional interviews.
If you show up unannounced again, I will file a complaint.
Agent Haverman: This was just a courtesy call,
but we'll be back when we file the charges.
-Oh, and one-- -By the way--
And if you're not working with Albert Chen anymore,
then why are you representing his nephew in a murder trial?
He must have given me a good recommendation.
Tommy Sung is Albert Chen's nephew?

No, I know what an aunt is.
Look, anyway, I asked Ken, Tommy's father, to contact her
because he knows where she is.
And if I can get proof of life, then the FBI inquiry goes away.
But he refused unless I took on his son's case.
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't want it to affect your work on this case.
Tommy's just a kid. He's facing life in prison.
