138

and to get her to go away, I--

to work with her or rep her,

or even talk to her.
Rep her? Ha! No.

00:05:59,425 --> 00:06:02,295
Todd, lawyers like
Belinda Tuttle

142

Todd tells me that
you're having

176
00:07:32,919 --> 00:07:34,754
some sort of legal trouble,
or...

177
00:07:34,754 --> 00:07:36,022
Well, you heard about
Leon Dinks?

178
00:07:36,022 --> 00:07:37,023
The man that fell
at the grocery store?

179
00:07:37,023 --> 00:07:38,925
Not my area.

180
00:07:38,925 --> 00:07:40,993
Well, he used to be
a client of mine, years ago,

181
00:07:40,993 --> 00:07:42,562
a loose railing accident.

182
00:07:42,562 --> 00:07:45,131
But this time he fell,
and he died.

183
00:07:45,131 --> 00:07:46,399
Oh, I'm so sorry.

184
00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:47,567
His sister went to the police.

185
00:07:47,567 --> 00:07:49,735
Leon told her
he had been recruited

186
00:07:49,735 --> 00:07:52,705
for a fake slip-and-fall scam,
and that I was behind it.

187
00:07:52,705 --> 00:07:54,674
Oh, and were you? Behind it?

188
00:07:54,674 --> 00:07:55,741
Of course not.

189
00:07:55,741 --> 00:07:57,176
I know what people say,

190
00:07:57,176 --> 00:07:59,078
but I'm not an ambulance chaser.

191
00:07:59,078 --> 00:08:00,246
Oh, I hadn't heard that.

192
00:08:00,246 --> 00:08:02,181
Well, I don't care.
I know who I am.

193
00:08:02,181 --> 00:08:03,850

194

195
00:08:06,519 --> 00:08:10,022
Okay, maybe some of my clients
that I represent

196
00:08:10,022 --> 00:08:12,091
exaggerate their injuries,

197
00:08:12,091 --> 00:08:15,394
but I would never ask anyone
to injure themselves.

198
00:08:15,394 --> 00:08:18,064
Why would I risk everything
for a stupid scam?

199
00:08:18,064 --> 00:08:20,900
I see your point,
but, uh, my docket is full.

Well, the right attorney is
out there somewhere.

202
00:08:25,404 --> 00:08:27,673

with manslaughter.

You know what I mean?

232
00:09:33,773 --> 00:09:35,942
Todd, it has already
been decided.

233
00:09:35,942 --> 00:09:37,877
And Belinda's arraignment is
this afternoon,

234
00:09:37,877 --> 00:09:39,178
so we need to get moving.

235
00:09:39,178 --> 00:09:40,680
Oh, my God.

236
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:44,550
Now, the evidence against
Belinda seems very thin to me.

237
00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:48,387
So I will be arguing that
because of her reputation,

238
00:09:48,387 --> 00:09:52,224
the prosecution is blinded
by their own bias.

239
00:09:52,224 --> 00:09:53,960
And if this is a scam,

240
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,795
and if Belinda is not
a part of it...

241
00:09:55,795 --> 00:09:57,129
The best way
to prove her innocence

242
00:09:57,129 --> 00:09:58,931
is to find the real mastermind.

243
00:09:58,931 --> 00:10:00,466
Exactly. Good, Lyle.

244
00:10:00,466 --> 00:10:02,702
Yeah, excellent work,
Inspector Clouseau.

245
00:10:02,702 --> 00:10:04,737
But if I know anything
about Belinda,

246
00:10:04,737 --> 00:10:06,706
and I do,
she's stepped on a lot of toes.

247
00:10:06,706 --> 00:10:08,341
It's Toe-mageddon.

248
00:10:08,341 --> 00:10:11,711
And if forced to work this case,
I guess I could do some digging

249
00:10:11,711 --> 00:10:13,612
and see if someone's trying
to get back at her.

250
00:10:13,612 --> 00:10:16,449
Good, Todd. Revenge is
certainly a possibility,

251
00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:19,685
but the one thing
that we know for certain

252
00:10:19,685 --> 00:10:21,554
about scams like these is

253
00:10:21,554 --> 00:10:24,590
that it's all about
the settlement payments.

254
00:10:24,590 --> 00:10:26,759
So, Lyle, you will be
on the money trail.

255
00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:28,794
Unfortunately,
we don't have a lot to go on,

256
00:10:28,794 --> 00:10:31,230
so we'll need to bring in

on her plate, and you...

268
00:10:58,991 --> 00:11:00,593
Yeah, but I feel like
she's not even listening to me.

269
00:11:00,593 --> 00:11:02,028
She can't see what's
right under her nose.

270
00:11:02,028 --> 00:11:03,329
Right? Right.
Exactly.

271
00:11:03,329 --> 00:11:04,764
I mean, it's hard enough getting

272
00:11:04,764 --> 00:11:06,132

You think I should show Margaret
what a big mistake...

276
00:11:11,670 --> 00:11:13,072
So, you're saying,
to protect my reputation...

277
00:11:13,072 --> 00:11:14,573
...by finding something
to help with your case?

278

279

351
00:13:51,597 --> 00:13:52,998
Ma'am, this way, please.

352
00:13:52,998 --> 00:13:56,001
When you ride with
an ambulance chaser,

353
00:13:56,001 --> 00:13:58,637
somebody always
ends up in the morgue.

354
00:13:58,637 --> 00:14:00,272
Enjoy.

355
00:14:03,676 --> 00:14:04,977
For the Tuttle case,

356
00:14:04,977 --> 00:14:08,180
are you using offset or
index function for the data?

357
00:14:08,180 --> 00:14:10,716
I found the offset function
is best as it's calculated

358
00:14:10,716 --> 00:14:12,651
from a single cell
reference point.

359
00:14:12,651 --> 00:14:13,686
Cleaner results.

360
00:14:13,686 --> 00:14:15,854
Well, aren't you
full of surprises?

361
00:14:15,854 --> 00:14:17,423
(chuckles)

362
00:14:17,423 --> 00:14:19,592
You know, if you're free Friday,

363
00:14:19,592 --> 00:14:22,795
maybe we could, uh,
have dinner at my condo.

364
00:14:22,795 --> 00:14:25,431
Yeah, I can finally
see your place.

365
00:14:26,565 --> 00:14:29,535
Also, um, there's
a great farmers market

366
00:14:29,535 --> 00:14:33,038
in the morning, if you wanted
to maybe, um, stay.

367
00:14:35,374 --> 00:14:37,343
Are you asking me

368
00:14:37,343 --> 00:14:38,644
to sleep over?

369
00:14:39,678 --> 00:14:40,879
It is our fifth date.

370
00:14:40,879 --> 00:14:42,114
Are you counting
the hotdog cart?

371
00:14:42,114 --> 00:14:43,549
Lyle, I need you to...

372
00:14:43,549 --> 00:14:45,851
Oh. Hey, Alex.

373
00:14:47,786 --> 00:14:49,888
What?
You're just cute.

374
00:14:49,888 --> 00:14:52,057
Okay, so, I made some calls,

375
00:14:52,057 --> 00:14:54,593
and, no surprise,
Belinda's got a lot of enemies.

376
00:14:54,593 --> 00:14:57,329
Insurance companies, lawyers,
even old clients.

377
00:14:57,329 --> 00:14:59,698
So, I put together
this "Nemesis List"--

378
00:14:59,698 --> 00:15:01,100
trademark pending on that name--

379
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:02,835
of potential suspects,
but there's a bunch,

380
00:15:02,835 --> 00:15:04,069
and I need you to take half.

381
00:15:04,069 --> 00:15:05,704
Can't, because
we found a lead.

382
00:15:05,704 --> 00:15:08,007
We got access to the
insurance settlement databases,

383
00:15:08,007 --> 00:15:09,775
and we found
something strange.

384
00:15:09,775 --> 00:15:11,944
So, in the last
18 months,

385
00:15:11,944 --> 00:15:13,379
there have been
five slip-and-fall cases

386
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:16,048
all involving former clients
of Belinda.

387
00:15:16,048 --> 00:15:18,550
Yes, and these cases were
never filed with the courts.

388
00:15:18,550 --> 00:15:20,052
Everything was off-book.

389
00:15:20,052 --> 00:15:21,353
So, you'd only want
to be off-book

390
00:15:21,353 --> 00:15:22,588
if you didn't want
a public record.

391
00:15:22,588 --> 00:15:25,491
Exactly, and we traced
the settlement payments,

392
00:15:25,491 --> 00:15:28,527
and they all went
to the same account at...

393
00:15:28,527 --> 00:15:30,829
Western Gateway Bank.
So, whose account is it?

394
00:15:30,829 --> 00:15:32,931
The bank refuses to release
this information,

395
00:15:32,931 --> 00:15:34,166
but we did find
something.

396
00:15:34,166 --> 00:15:36,402
So, the slip-and-falls
all happened

397
00:15:36,402 --> 00:15:39,238
at five different
grocery stores, and, strangely,

398
00:15:39,238 --> 00:15:42,107
they all had the same
employee witness, Cory Hill.

399
00:15:42,107 --> 00:15:44,743
So, either Cory
is extremely unlucky...

400
00:15:44,743 --> 00:15:46,912
Or he's part of the scam.

401
00:15:46,912 --> 00:15:49,148
LYLE and ALEX:
Precisely.

402
00:15:55,220 --> 00:15:59,725
Subject consuming his third bag
of Chuffs cheese puffs.

403
00:15:59,725 --> 00:16:01,160
(sighs)
(knock on window)

404
00:16:02,528 --> 00:16:05,097
Mom, I am on
a stakeout.

405
00:16:05,097 --> 00:16:06,732
Well, obviously.

406
00:16:06,732 --> 00:16:07,933
I tried calling,
but...

407
00:16:07,933 --> 00:16:09,068
Yeah, well, my
phone's on silent.
Why?

408
00:16:09,068 --> 00:16:11,236
Uh, stealth.

409
00:16:11,236 --> 00:16:13,972
Oh, God, you really need
to clean this car.

410
00:16:13,972 --> 00:16:16,241
When I drove it,
it was sparkling and fresh.

411
00:16:16,241 --> 00:16:18,477
Yeah, and Enrique Iglesias
was still top on the charts.

412
00:16:18,477 --> 00:16:19,578
Why are you here?

413
00:16:19,578 --> 00:16:21,113
Well, I brought you
an early dinner.

414
00:16:21,113 --> 00:16:22,781
Some leftover chicken piccata.

415
00:16:22,781 --> 00:16:25,751
You work much better and faster
when you're well-fed.

416
00:16:25,751 --> 00:16:27,886
No, no, no!
Don't-don't eat it here.

417
00:16:27,886 --> 00:16:30,456
It's already stinky enough
as it is. Oh.

418
00:16:30,456 --> 00:16:33,158
Okay.
And I would love an update.

419
00:16:33,158 --> 00:16:35,994
Well, I think it's safe to say
that Cory is not the mastermind,

420
00:16:35,994 --> 00:16:37,129
unless
masterminding means

421
00:16:37,129 --> 00:16:38,797
smoking two joints
and going to town on

422
00:16:38,797 --> 00:16:41,066
another bag
of cheese puffs?

423
00:16:41,066 --> 00:16:42,835
Uh-huh. Well, we'll have to
bring him in for questioning.

424
00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:44,303
No, we can't do that.

425
00:16:44,303 --> 00:16:45,804
Once the higher-ups in the
scam know we're sniffing,

426
00:16:45,804 --> 00:16:47,773
the trail will disappear.
No, no, no, no.

427
00:16:47,773 --> 00:16:50,109
Patience is our ally.
Given enough time,

428
00:16:50,109 --> 00:16:51,643
Cory will lead us
to the mastermind,

429
00:16:51,643 --> 00:16:54,279
who, I am sure,
is on my Nemasissalist.

430
00:16:54,279 --> 00:16:55,347
Still working
on that name.

431
00:16:55,347 --> 00:16:57,349
How much time
are we talking?

432
00:16:57,349 --> 00:16:59,485
Uh, 72 hours,

433
00:16:59,485 --> 00:17:00,886
give or take.
72 hours?

434
00:17:00,886 --> 00:17:02,621
Todd, we don't have
72 hours.

435
00:17:02,621 --> 00:17:04,490
The A.D.A.'s already
calling witnesses.

436
00:17:04,490 --> 00:17:07,526
Hey, no one wants to finish
this case more than me,

437
00:17:07,526 --> 00:17:09,695
trust me,
but these things take time.

438
00:17:09,695 --> 00:17:11,130
Which we have
none of,

439
00:17:11,130 --> 00:17:13,132
so you will just have
to stake out quicker.

440
00:17:13,132 --> 00:17:14,400
"Stake out quicker"?
Yes.

441
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:15,901
That's not how this works,
thank you.

442
00:17:15,901 --> 00:17:17,403
Well, then what
do you propose?

443
00:17:17,403 --> 00:17:20,038
Apparently,
I will have to--

444
00:17:20,038 --> 00:17:23,108
under protest--
move on to Plan B.

445
00:17:23,108 --> 00:17:24,643
Oh. What is Plan B?

446
00:17:24,643 --> 00:17:26,044
I guess we'll find out.

447
00:17:26,044 --> 00:17:29,415
Are you gonna open my door...
for me?

448
00:17:30,516 --> 00:17:31,884
(sighs)

449
00:17:33,285 --> 00:17:34,219
Okay. Ooh.

450
00:17:34,219 --> 00:17:35,521
I need
something sharp.

451
00:17:35,521 --> 00:17:37,322
No, I don't have anything
like that in there.

452
00:17:37,322 --> 00:17:39,224
Seriously?
You could fix a blimp

453
00:17:39,224 --> 00:17:40,893
with what you carry
in that bag.

454
00:17:40,893 --> 00:17:42,861
Okay, I have this.

455
00:17:42,861 --> 00:17:44,897
And I have this.

456
00:17:44,897 --> 00:17:46,865
I have... Ah.

457
00:17:46,865 --> 00:17:48,500
I have this.

458
00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:50,369
Oh, would you look at that,
something sharp.

459
00:17:50,369 --> 00:17:52,070
Okay, now,
get down low.

460
00:17:52,070 --> 00:17:54,206
Lower. Lower.

461
00:17:54,206 --> 00:17:55,707
Okay.

462
00:17:55,707 --> 00:17:57,509
Just kidding, you don't
actually have to get down low.

463
00:17:57,509 --> 00:17:58,710
Todd!

464
00:17:58,710 --> 00:18:00,712
Okay, listen,
we are gonna fake

465
00:18:00,712 --> 00:18:02,381
our own fake
slip-and-fall,

466
00:18:02,381 --> 00:18:04,516
and I will be the bait
to draw Cory out.

467
00:18:04,516 --> 00:18:05,918
I got it,
you're the worm.

468
00:18:05,918 --> 00:18:07,286
I prefer decoy,
thank you very much.

469
00:18:07,286 --> 00:18:08,520
So, just
go over there,

470
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:09,855
puncture
a container of milk,

471
00:18:09,855 --> 00:18:11,890
and then I will slip
in the puddle.

472
00:18:11,890 --> 00:18:13,725
Uh, wait, is that
a good idea?
No.

473
00:18:13,725 --> 00:18:14,893
Yes. Go.

474
00:18:14,893 --> 00:18:16,061
Okay.

475
00:18:17,663 --> 00:18:20,466
(sighs)
Today would be better.

476
00:18:26,171 --> 00:18:27,840
Stab it. Stab it!
I'm stabbing it.

477
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,441
I'm stabbing.
Stab it.

478
00:18:29,441 --> 00:18:31,877
MARGARET:
(screams) Oh, it's curdled.

479
00:18:31,877 --> 00:18:34,012
Just get another one.
Any other one, please.
Okay.

480
00:18:34,012 --> 00:18:35,481
Okay.

481
00:18:36,515 --> 00:18:38,383
(screams)
Okay.

482
00:18:38,383 --> 00:18:40,085
All right.
Great. Perfect.

483
00:18:40,085 --> 00:18:42,054
This is a disaster. Um...

484
00:18:42,054 --> 00:18:44,389
Okay, Mom, just grab anything
at this point.
I'll get this.

485
00:18:44,389 --> 00:18:47,259
Honey, it's soy.
Maybe I shouldn't.

486
00:18:47,259 --> 00:18:48,694
Oh, it's soy?
All right, well, then

487
00:18:48,694 --> 00:18:50,295
maybe we should just go home.
Just do it, please.

488
00:18:50,295 --> 00:18:52,598
God, stop yelling at me.

489
00:18:52,598 --> 00:18:53,899
You know what?
Fine.

490
00:18:53,899 --> 00:18:55,567
I'm doing it. Just...
I'm coming.

491
00:18:55,567 --> 00:18:56,668
(screams)
Oh!

492
00:19:02,374 --> 00:19:04,743
(groans) Ow. I'm really...

493
00:19:04,743 --> 00:19:06,078
I'm really injured.

494
00:19:06,078 --> 00:19:07,913
I love your commitment
to the role,

495
00:19:07,913 --> 00:19:09,681
but maybe take it down
just a hair.

496
00:19:09,681 --> 00:19:12,551
What? Just-just get out of here

497
00:19:12,551 --> 00:19:14,753
before Cory sees you.
All right, all right.

498
00:19:14,753 --> 00:19:16,355
Just call me,
let me know what happens.

499
00:19:16,355 --> 00:19:17,656
And less arms,

500
00:19:17,656 --> 00:19:19,424
less face.
Just go.

501
00:19:19,424 --> 00:19:21,426
All right, just do not
saw the air so much

502
00:19:21,426 --> 00:19:22,995
with your hands, Todd.

503
00:19:24,429 --> 00:19:27,566
Bro, wait. What's happening?
Is this today?

504
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:30,636
I thought...
Yeah, yeah. Uh... They sent me.

505
00:19:30,636 --> 00:19:32,738
So you're saying now is now?

506
00:19:32,738 --> 00:19:35,474
That's exactly what I'm saying,

507
00:19:35,474 --> 00:19:38,644
but I-I think I hit my head
or something.

508
00:19:38,644 --> 00:19:40,812
I-I don't remember
what to do next.

509
00:19:40,812 --> 00:19:43,348
Uh... see the doctor?

510
00:19:43,348 --> 00:19:47,085
Right, right, right.
Dr., um... Kevorkian.

511
00:19:47,085 --> 00:19:49,087
No, dude, Dr. Batten.

512
00:19:50,989 --> 00:19:53,425
(sighs) Good morning,
good morning.

513
00:19:55,127 --> 00:19:57,029
Money troubles?

514
00:19:57,029 --> 00:19:59,398
No, just a timing issue.

515
00:19:59,398 --> 00:20:01,867
Nothing to be
embarrassed about.

516
00:20:01,867 --> 00:20:04,570
You know, you can always buy
yourself a little extra time.

517
00:20:04,570 --> 00:20:05,938
For instance,
on this invoice,

518
00:20:05,938 --> 00:20:07,739
you see it says,
"Due March fourth."

519
00:20:07,739 --> 00:20:10,742
Add a one,
March 14. Presto.

520
00:20:10,742 --> 00:20:12,711
Ten extra days.

521
00:20:12,711 --> 00:20:15,314
And what vendor's gonna argue
something so small

522
00:20:15,314 --> 00:20:17,749
with a valued customer
like yourself?

523
00:20:17,749 --> 00:20:19,551
Yes, thank you, thank you,
thank you. I have it handled.

524
00:20:19,551 --> 00:20:21,386
(clears throat)
Shall we discuss

525
00:20:21,386 --> 00:20:23,221
trial strategy?

526
00:20:23,221 --> 00:20:25,390
Absolutely.

527
00:20:25,390 --> 00:20:26,725
Right out
of the gate,

528
00:20:26,725 --> 00:20:29,428
the key to winning
are three little words:

529
00:20:29,428 --> 00:20:31,363
delay, delay, delay.

530
00:20:31,363 --> 00:20:34,132
Oh, and exactly what sort of
delay did you have in mind?

531
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:36,568
Throw some useless motions
at Russo,

532
00:20:36,568 --> 00:20:38,136
then add names
to the witness list

533
00:20:38,136 --> 00:20:39,805
that we never intend
to call,

534
00:20:39,805 --> 00:20:41,373
and-- this is
the most important--

535
00:20:41,373 --> 00:20:42,874
pile on the continuances

536
00:20:42,874 --> 00:20:44,476
because the more
of their time we waste,

537
00:20:44,476 --> 00:20:47,079
the less time
they have to prepare.

538
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:49,548
No. That is not how I operate.

539
00:20:49,548 --> 00:20:51,650
We will stick to winning
by facts and the law.

540
00:20:51,650 --> 00:20:53,619
Oh, Margaret. You know,

541
00:20:53,619 --> 00:20:56,288
you're one of the last people
who still follows the rules.

542
00:20:56,288 --> 00:20:59,257
(scoffs) You hired me
to drive this boat.

543
00:20:59,257 --> 00:21:00,826
Let me do my job.

544
00:21:00,826 --> 00:21:03,528
(scoffs) You know,
you think we're so different.

545
00:21:03,528 --> 00:21:06,264
The only difference is that
you had the good luck

546
00:21:06,264 --> 00:21:09,267
of starting at a white-shoe firm
instead of a strip mall.

547
00:21:09,267 --> 00:21:12,504
(inhales)
No frivolous delays, Belinda.

548
00:21:12,504 --> 00:21:14,973
I am not you.
And, for the record,

549
00:21:14,973 --> 00:21:17,809
I was shining those shoes
before I was wearing them.

550
00:21:19,044 --> 00:21:21,079
(indistinct chatter)

551
00:21:23,615 --> 00:21:24,816
WOMAN:
Belinda Tuttle?

552
00:21:24,816 --> 00:21:26,652
Ugh. No, no, no.

553
00:21:29,821 --> 00:21:30,989
Hi.

554
00:21:30,989 --> 00:21:33,325
Oh, hi.
Are you hiding?

555
00:21:33,325 --> 00:21:34,559
From what?

556
00:21:37,195 --> 00:21:38,230
You're scared of her?

557
00:21:38,230 --> 00:21:39,665
No. I just don't want
to deal with her.

558
00:21:39,665 --> 00:21:40,666
And, in my defense,

559
00:21:40,666 --> 00:21:42,200
she's the worst.
She basically

560
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,136
shamed me into working
on her case,

561
00:21:44,136 --> 00:21:45,637
and I just want
to get away from her.

562
00:21:45,637 --> 00:21:48,974
Ah, so she gave you a job?
What a monster.

563
00:21:48,974 --> 00:21:50,342
Wh-- No. You don't understand.

564
00:21:50,342 --> 00:21:52,010
She has a terrible reputation,

565
00:21:52,010 --> 00:21:54,479
and I am currently starting
a new business. So...

566
00:21:54,479 --> 00:21:57,182
Oh, so her bad reputation
is going to ruin

567
00:21:57,182 --> 00:21:58,316
your good one?

568
00:21:58,316 --> 00:21:59,985
Okay, my reputation
is apparently

569
00:21:59,985 --> 00:22:02,254
not stellar right now,
but I am...

570
00:22:02,254 --> 00:22:03,488
And how is that her fault?

571
00:22:03,488 --> 00:22:05,323
No, it's not-- Look.

572
00:22:05,323 --> 00:22:07,926
I am top-shelf,
and she's just...
ALLISON: What's going on?

573
00:22:10,062 --> 00:22:12,064
He's hiding from some lady.

574
00:22:12,064 --> 00:22:13,565
She's gone, by the way.
(clears throat)
Oh.

575
00:22:13,565 --> 00:22:15,000
And you are?

576
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,702
This is my roommate from hell.

577
00:22:16,702 --> 00:22:18,937
From hell.
Okay, good to know.

578
00:22:18,937 --> 00:22:20,272
Are we getting lunch
with Mom or...?

579
00:22:20,272 --> 00:22:22,441
TODD: Oh.
Ah.

580
00:22:22,441 --> 00:22:25,277
Mom. So, you are guys, like,
brother and sister?

581
00:22:25,277 --> 00:22:26,945
TODD: Got your
lunch right here.

582
00:22:26,945 --> 00:22:30,215
We are going somewhere else.
Wait, what? No, Todd.

583
00:22:30,215 --> 00:22:32,484
This is not lunch. This is,
like, an appetizer for lunch.

584
00:22:32,484 --> 00:22:33,919
Bye.

585
00:22:36,955 --> 00:22:38,323
RUSSO:
Could you please state your name

586
00:22:38,323 --> 00:22:39,858
and relationship
with Ms. Tuttle?

587
00:22:39,858 --> 00:22:41,259
DEBBIE:
Debbie Richards.

588
00:22:41,259 --> 00:22:43,028
And I was
Ms. Tuttle's assistant.

589
00:22:43,028 --> 00:22:44,596
And how long did you work

590
00:22:44,596 --> 00:22:46,064
as Ms. Tuttle's
assistant?

591
00:22:46,064 --> 00:22:48,266
A little over two years,
and then I resigned.

592
00:22:48,266 --> 00:22:50,836
RUSSO:
You quit on the
"Queen of Courts"?

593
00:22:50,836 --> 00:22:52,104
Why?

594
00:22:52,104 --> 00:22:53,505
DEBBIE:
Oh, no. (stammers)

595
00:22:53,505 --> 00:22:56,742
Belinda was wonderful.
I just, I...

596
00:22:56,742 --> 00:22:58,610
I wanted to work
for a more upscale law firm.

597
00:22:58,610 --> 00:23:00,846
RUSSO: In your time
with Ms. Tuttle,

598
00:23:00,846 --> 00:23:02,647
did she ever ask you
to lie for her?

599
00:23:02,647 --> 00:23:03,749
BOTH:
Objection.

600
00:23:03,749 --> 00:23:05,584
(crowd murmuring)

601
00:23:05,584 --> 00:23:08,954
(whispers): I'm sorry.
You go. You go.

602
00:23:08,954 --> 00:23:11,223
Uh, Your Honor, the prosecution
is asking the witness

603
00:23:11,223 --> 00:23:14,559
to testify about prior bad acts,
which is clearly forbidden.

604
00:23:14,559 --> 00:23:15,927
This speaks
to her modus operandi.

605
00:23:15,927 --> 00:23:18,163
The prejudicial effect
outweighs...

606
00:23:18,163 --> 00:23:19,598
I'm going to allow it.

607
00:23:19,598 --> 00:23:21,566
You can answer
the question.

608
00:23:21,566 --> 00:23:24,402
I guess, but just
little lies, like,

609
00:23:24,402 --> 00:23:27,405
whether we had received a motion
or if someone had called.

610
00:23:27,405 --> 00:23:30,408
And did Ms. Tuttle
ever suspect her clients

611
00:23:30,408 --> 00:23:31,977
were exaggerating injuries?
Your Honor.

612
00:23:31,977 --> 00:23:33,578
Overruled.

613
00:23:34,513 --> 00:23:37,048
I will remind you,
you are under oath.

614
00:23:37,048 --> 00:23:38,049
I'm so sorry.

615
00:23:38,049 --> 00:23:40,285
(crying)

616
00:23:40,285 --> 00:23:43,288
Yes. She did.
(crowd murmuring)

617
00:23:43,288 --> 00:23:44,823
RUSSO:
No further questions

618
00:23:44,823 --> 00:23:46,158
at this time.

619
00:23:50,195 --> 00:23:52,430
We have a problem.

620
00:23:52,430 --> 00:23:54,599
The jury
doesn't trust you.

621
00:23:54,599 --> 00:23:57,435
It's worse than that.
They hate me.

622
00:23:58,637 --> 00:24:00,806
This is totally bizarre.
I shouldn't even be here.

623
00:24:00,806 --> 00:24:03,341
My shift starts
in an hour.

624
00:24:03,341 --> 00:24:04,843
And I can see
your butt.

625
00:24:04,843 --> 00:24:05,844
What? Oh.

626
00:24:05,844 --> 00:24:07,712
Ugh!
These are barbecue.

627
00:24:07,712 --> 00:24:09,481
Can you stop?
Just help me figure out

628
00:24:09,481 --> 00:24:11,817
if this guy's a real doctor
or maybe the mastermind.

629
00:24:11,817 --> 00:24:13,685
He wasn't on my original
Nemesiss-eliss-ellist.

630
00:24:13,685 --> 00:24:15,620
I'm sorry, what?

631
00:24:15,620 --> 00:24:16,822
It's not working.

632
00:24:16,822 --> 00:24:17,889
Also, what is
in this for me?

633
00:24:17,889 --> 00:24:19,157
I don't know.

634
00:24:19,157 --> 00:24:20,458
Maybe a roof above your head
and free food?

635
00:24:20,458 --> 00:24:22,961
Mm, no.
I shower first for a week.

636
00:24:22,961 --> 00:24:24,329
What? That is outrageous.

637
00:24:24,329 --> 00:24:26,231
Okay, two weeks. Ah, here we go.
(knock on door)

638
00:24:26,231 --> 00:24:28,466
Hello, good afternoon.

639
00:24:28,466 --> 00:24:30,702
Hi.
What seems to be the problem?

640
00:24:30,702 --> 00:24:32,237
Uh, it's my back.

641
00:24:32,237 --> 00:24:34,439
I-I fell,
and, uh, I was injured,

642
00:24:34,439 --> 00:24:36,708
and-and Cory sent me.

643
00:24:36,708 --> 00:24:39,377
Oh... Cory.

644
00:24:39,377 --> 00:24:41,213
Well, then,
just between the three of us.

645
00:24:41,213 --> 00:24:42,848
How about your ankle?
That hurt, too?

646
00:24:42,848 --> 00:24:46,551
Uh, no, just my back.
Oh. Oh. Uh...

647
00:24:46,551 --> 00:24:47,719
Probably hit your head as well.

648
00:24:47,719 --> 00:24:49,855
Minor concussion. Neck sprain.

649
00:24:49,855 --> 00:24:52,791
You're diagnosing him without
touching him or examining him?

650
00:24:52,791 --> 00:24:55,660
And you can barely
get out of bed.

651
00:24:55,660 --> 00:24:57,395
You may need
spinal surgery.

652
00:24:57,395 --> 00:24:59,164
(scoffs) Is... are you joking?

653
00:24:59,164 --> 00:25:00,732
Is this a prank?
Al.

654
00:25:00,732 --> 00:25:02,234
You know, if we really want
to up the damages,

655
00:25:02,234 --> 00:25:03,802
we should consider
fusing some vertebrate.

656
00:25:03,802 --> 00:25:05,604
Maybe replacing a rib or two.

657
00:25:05,604 --> 00:25:07,038
What? What is this,
the Middle Ages?

658
00:25:07,038 --> 00:25:09,007
Who are you again?

659
00:25:09,007 --> 00:25:10,575
My wife.
His sister.

660
00:25:10,575 --> 00:25:12,277
My sister-wife.
How about you also--
I don't know--

661
00:25:12,277 --> 00:25:13,778
take off the top of his head

662
00:25:13,778 --> 00:25:15,580
and scrape out
all the dead brain cells.

663
00:25:15,580 --> 00:25:19,684
Well, we might be able to make
a case for something like that.

664
00:25:19,684 --> 00:25:20,886
What?

665
00:25:20,886 --> 00:25:22,621
But, usually, Belinda weighs in

666
00:25:22,621 --> 00:25:24,256
on the severity of the injuries.

667
00:25:24,256 --> 00:25:25,390
What? A-A-Are you sure?

668
00:25:25,390 --> 00:25:26,558
You must deal
with a ton of lawyers.

669
00:25:26,558 --> 00:25:28,126
No, just Belinda.

670
00:25:28,126 --> 00:25:29,928
She keeps me pretty busy
with stuff like this.

671
00:25:29,928 --> 00:25:31,763
I would seriously,
honestly love to know

672
00:25:31,763 --> 00:25:32,964
where you went
to medical school.

673
00:25:32,964 --> 00:25:34,966
Okay, uh-uh, Belinda,
she's tall?

674
00:25:34,966 --> 00:25:36,534
Brown-ish,
reddish curly hair?

675
00:25:36,534 --> 00:25:37,903
Big googly eyes?

676
00:25:37,903 --> 00:25:39,738
You know, I've never actually
met her in person,

677
00:25:39,738 --> 00:25:42,207
but I've got her card
here somewhere.

678
00:25:42,207 --> 00:25:43,441
TODD:
Oh.

679
00:25:43,441 --> 00:25:45,010
Ah.

680
00:25:45,010 --> 00:25:47,279
TODD: Hm, yup,
that's the one.

681
00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:49,347
And say, if you want to lose
a pinky toe or two,

682
00:25:49,347 --> 00:25:52,017
she could easily get you
another 60 grand.

683
00:25:52,017 --> 00:25:53,752
Th... This is fantastic.

684
00:25:53,752 --> 00:25:56,121
Are you single? Seriously.

685
00:25:57,822 --> 00:26:00,558
Well, we can't put this
Dr. Batten on the stand

686
00:26:00,558 --> 00:26:02,527
if he genuinely thinks that you

687
00:26:02,527 --> 00:26:04,562
are the lawyer
with whom he's working.

688
00:26:04,562 --> 00:26:06,798
Agreed. The jury already
thinks the worst of me.

689
00:26:06,798 --> 00:26:07,799
I'm best one-on-one.

690
00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:09,668
Better with a beer.
LYLE: What?

691
00:26:09,668 --> 00:26:11,069
You're cute, by the way.

692
00:26:11,069 --> 00:26:12,637
Okay, can we just...
Dr. Batten also

693
00:26:12,637 --> 00:26:14,139
gave me this.

694
00:26:14,139 --> 00:26:15,941
BELINDA:
Well, this looks
like my card,

695
00:26:15,941 --> 00:26:17,409
but this
isn't my number.

696
00:26:17,409 --> 00:26:18,510
Here.

697
00:26:23,682 --> 00:26:26,251
Okay, I'll just record.
MARGARET: Yeah.

698
00:26:26,251 --> 00:26:27,652
(line rings)

699
00:26:27,652 --> 00:26:29,521
WOMAN (over phone):
Hello, this is Belinda Tuttle.

700
00:26:36,328 --> 00:26:38,663
We set up a meeting with the
woman impersonating my client,

701
00:26:38,663 --> 00:26:40,598
but, unfortunately,
she never showed.

702
00:26:40,598 --> 00:26:42,600
And this, uh, Cory Hill?

703
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,904
Oh, well, uh, he must've gotten
wind of our investigation

704
00:26:45,904 --> 00:26:47,806
because he skipped,
uh, his shift,

705
00:26:47,806 --> 00:26:50,342
and-and then he never returned
to his apartment.

706
00:26:50,342 --> 00:26:52,777
But I do have this.

707
00:26:52,777 --> 00:26:55,347
The chain of custody
on this card is highly suspect.

708
00:26:55,347 --> 00:26:57,015
Let me guess,

709
00:26:57,015 --> 00:26:59,517
you're going to need more time
to complete your investigation.

710
00:26:59,517 --> 00:27:02,253
Yes, yes. We're requesting
a two-week continuance.

711
00:27:02,253 --> 00:27:04,489
No.
But, uh, Your Honor,

712
00:27:04,489 --> 00:27:06,691
I need to be able to show you...
ROBERTS: Counselor,

713
00:27:06,691 --> 00:27:08,360
this may be your first case
with Ms. Tuttle,

714
00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:09,594
but it's not mine.

715
00:27:09,594 --> 00:27:11,529
I've presided over 12 of them,
and do you know

716
00:27:11,529 --> 00:27:13,231
how many times
she's asked for continuance

717
00:27:13,231 --> 00:27:16,034
because of dire need? 27.

718
00:27:16,034 --> 00:27:18,670
Well, I assure you
this is not a frivolous...

719
00:27:18,670 --> 00:27:21,072
Mm-mm. I will not
be made a fool again.

720
00:27:21,072 --> 00:27:22,841
No more delays.

721
00:27:22,841 --> 00:27:24,509
This trial will continue
whether or not

722
00:27:24,509 --> 00:27:26,678
your investigation is complete.

723
00:27:32,217 --> 00:27:35,520
Hey, listen,
I-I made some calls.

724
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,188
I got two of
the vendors to extend,

725
00:27:37,188 --> 00:27:39,057
but it does not
look good.

726
00:27:39,057 --> 00:27:41,159
Yeah, I know.

727
00:27:41,159 --> 00:27:42,994
I know.
Thank you, Francey.

728
00:27:42,994 --> 00:27:44,162
Mm-hmm.

729
00:27:44,162 --> 00:27:45,330
What?

730
00:27:47,098 --> 00:27:49,034
Well, also,

731
00:27:49,034 --> 00:27:51,002
I overheard Beverly
on the phone,

732
00:27:51,002 --> 00:27:52,337
and she's concerned

733
00:27:52,337 --> 00:27:54,072
about you taking on
Belinda Tuttle.

734
00:27:54,072 --> 00:27:56,541
Says it feels desperate.
Image, optics, whatever.
Oh...

735
00:27:56,541 --> 00:27:58,410
Let's just wrap this up
quick and move on, huh?

736
00:27:58,410 --> 00:28:00,478
(exhales)
Okay, okay, okay.

737
00:28:00,478 --> 00:28:02,647
(sighs)

738
00:28:06,084 --> 00:28:08,820
Please tell me
you have good news.

739
00:28:08,820 --> 00:28:10,221
Sort of.

740
00:28:10,221 --> 00:28:12,724
We were able to get the
phone records for the number

741
00:28:12,724 --> 00:28:13,858
from the fake
business card.

742
00:28:13,858 --> 00:28:15,460
It's a burner,
but we have the

743
00:28:15,460 --> 00:28:16,694
tower locations
where it was used.

744
00:28:16,694 --> 00:28:17,929
Yeah, we've been trying
to find some link

745
00:28:17,929 --> 00:28:19,931
between the tower locations
and the suspects

746
00:28:19,931 --> 00:28:22,400
on my Neh-Sih-Lih.
No luck so far, but...

747
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,903
Guys, we don't have time.

748
00:28:24,903 --> 00:28:27,038
We need results now

749
00:28:27,038 --> 00:28:28,640
before the reputation
of the firm goes up in flames

750
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,041
and Belinda ends up in prison.

751
00:28:30,041 --> 00:28:31,910
Hey, I warned you
not to take her on.

752
00:28:31,910 --> 00:28:33,812
You think I want to be searching
for a needle in a haystack

753
00:28:33,812 --> 00:28:35,914
right now?
Todd, you want off
the case so badly?

754
00:28:35,914 --> 00:28:37,348
Fine. You're off.

755
00:28:40,185 --> 00:28:41,386
Fine.

756
00:28:43,621 --> 00:28:45,090
Uh...

757
00:28:45,090 --> 00:28:46,691
We'll keep working.

758
00:28:48,426 --> 00:28:50,028
Hi.

759
00:28:50,028 --> 00:28:52,464
I know you
didn't ask for it,

760
00:28:52,464 --> 00:28:54,365
but I did a deep dive
into Belinda's trial history

761
00:28:54,365 --> 00:28:56,634
to see if anything
suspicious jumped out.

762
00:28:56,634 --> 00:28:58,970
I just... (sighs) I didn't
want you to be caught off guard

763
00:28:58,970 --> 00:29:00,872
in court in case
the A.D.A. dug it up first.

764
00:29:00,872 --> 00:29:02,874
Oh.

765
00:29:02,874 --> 00:29:06,578
Thank you, Susan. That's
a tremendous amount of work.

766
00:29:06,578 --> 00:29:08,446
Yeah, yeah, it was.

767
00:29:08,446 --> 00:29:10,215
And, while I didn't find
anything to suggest

768
00:29:10,215 --> 00:29:11,749
that Belinda was involved
in the scams,

769
00:29:11,749 --> 00:29:13,151
I did...

770
00:29:13,151 --> 00:29:16,020
find... this.

771
00:29:16,020 --> 00:29:17,789
It's one of her cases

772
00:29:17,789 --> 00:29:18,857
from three years ago.

773
00:29:18,857 --> 00:29:20,458
Belinda was certain to win,

774
00:29:20,458 --> 00:29:21,926
and then she asked
her client on the stand

775
00:29:21,926 --> 00:29:23,862
about an unrelated
past injury.

776
00:29:23,862 --> 00:29:26,464
But that would expose her
client's entire medical history

777
00:29:26,464 --> 00:29:27,465
to examination.

778
00:29:27,465 --> 00:29:29,534
Exactly,
and he was a fraud.

779
00:29:29,534 --> 00:29:32,170
So, when the jury heard
about his other "falls,"

780
00:29:32,170 --> 00:29:33,505
it was over.

781
00:29:33,505 --> 00:29:35,874
It was an error that
even a law student could avoid.

782
00:29:35,874 --> 00:29:38,710
So, you think Belinda
threw the case?

783
00:29:38,710 --> 00:29:40,612
Nothing else makes sense.

784
00:29:40,612 --> 00:29:43,615
Thank you, Susan.
That's amazing work.

785
00:29:43,615 --> 00:29:45,283
Yeah. No, I know.

786
00:29:46,484 --> 00:29:49,087
Which is why I'm deserving
of senior associate.

787
00:29:51,489 --> 00:29:54,025
Susan. I know.

788
00:29:54,025 --> 00:29:56,161
Do you?
Because I do this extra...
The timing is just not...

789
00:29:56,161 --> 00:29:57,195
When, Margaret?

790
00:29:57,195 --> 00:29:58,530
When will be
the right time?

791
00:29:58,530 --> 00:29:59,964
Susan.

792
00:29:59,964 --> 00:30:02,600
I would like nothing more
than to give you that promotion.

793
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,304
Trust me.
But now is not the time.

794
00:30:07,539 --> 00:30:08,973
(sighs)

795
00:30:08,973 --> 00:30:11,409
(humming)

796
00:30:12,777 --> 00:30:13,711
Hey, you.

797
00:30:13,711 --> 00:30:15,513
Yo, Belinda boy.

798
00:30:15,513 --> 00:30:16,981
Hey, do not call me that.

799
00:30:16,981 --> 00:30:18,416
That woman has been
nothing but trouble,

800
00:30:18,416 --> 00:30:19,884
and I don't want people
to think that I would work

801
00:30:19,884 --> 00:30:21,186
for someone
like her.

802
00:30:21,186 --> 00:30:22,987
All you do
is complain about her.

803
00:30:22,987 --> 00:30:24,589
Well, you have no idea
who she is.

804
00:30:24,589 --> 00:30:26,191
You have no idea
who I am.

805
00:30:26,191 --> 00:30:28,226
Okay, fair, but-- I don't know--

806
00:30:28,226 --> 00:30:29,527
you seem kind of
obsessed with her.

807
00:30:29,527 --> 00:30:31,930
I don't know, in this,
like, really weird way.

808
00:30:31,930 --> 00:30:34,199
I mean, yeah, okay, maybe
she has a crappy reputation,

809
00:30:34,199 --> 00:30:35,333
but she came to you for help,

810
00:30:35,333 --> 00:30:37,101
didn't she?
So, I don't know,

811
00:30:37,101 --> 00:30:39,270
maybe just, like, relax.

812
00:30:39,270 --> 00:30:40,838
(scoffs)
If you look to someone

813
00:30:40,838 --> 00:30:44,275
expecting the worst,
that's all you're gonna see.

814
00:30:44,275 --> 00:30:46,010
WOMAN:
Hi, Judy.

815
00:30:46,010 --> 00:30:47,378
JUDY:
Hi.

816
00:30:49,714 --> 00:30:51,416
Are you asking me
if I'd throw a case?

817
00:30:51,416 --> 00:30:52,850
No, no, no, no.
No, that's obvious.

818
00:30:52,850 --> 00:30:54,519
The only question
is why.

819
00:30:54,519 --> 00:30:57,589
Was it money, was it...
was the insurance company

820
00:30:57,589 --> 00:31:00,225
gonna pay you off
to betray your client?

821
00:31:00,225 --> 00:31:01,859
Because if that is
the reason,

822
00:31:01,859 --> 00:31:03,661
then maybe
you would be open to

823
00:31:03,661 --> 00:31:05,997
faking a
slip-and-fall, too.

824
00:31:07,098 --> 00:31:10,335
We don't get many chances
to decide who we are.

825
00:31:12,003 --> 00:31:13,671
Not really.

826
00:31:14,672 --> 00:31:16,841
Okay.

827
00:31:16,841 --> 00:31:18,376
What happened?

828
00:31:18,376 --> 00:31:19,577
Well, in this case,

829
00:31:19,577 --> 00:31:22,880
my client was despicable.
A liar.

830
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,617
I finally discovered he
was faking everything.

831
00:31:25,617 --> 00:31:27,418
But we were already in trial.

832
00:31:27,418 --> 00:31:29,587
The payout was gonna be huge,

833
00:31:29,587 --> 00:31:31,222
and I'm good at my job.

834
00:31:31,222 --> 00:31:33,324
So why throw a case?

835
00:31:33,324 --> 00:31:36,127
The defendant was a family-owned
restaurant on Burnside,

836
00:31:36,127 --> 00:31:37,595
been around since the '60s,

837
00:31:37,595 --> 00:31:39,097
supporting generation

838
00:31:39,097 --> 00:31:41,165
after generation
of family members.

839
00:31:41,165 --> 00:31:44,335
The owner's wife was battling
cancer, for God's sake.

840
00:31:44,335 --> 00:31:45,970
And they were going to lose...

841
00:31:45,970 --> 00:31:47,305
Everything.

842
00:31:47,305 --> 00:31:49,474
What, for my contingency fee?

843
00:31:49,474 --> 00:31:51,276
No, I was at
a crossroads.

844
00:31:51,276 --> 00:31:53,478
Was I going to protect
these innocent people?

845
00:31:53,478 --> 00:31:55,079
Ruining them
was a line

846
00:31:55,079 --> 00:31:57,081
I could not cross.

847
00:31:57,081 --> 00:32:00,051
Well, that is, um...

848
00:32:00,051 --> 00:32:02,220
admirable, Belinda.

849
00:32:02,220 --> 00:32:06,124
But, unfortunately,
we-we are out of time.

850
00:32:06,124 --> 00:32:08,760
The judge is pressing
for closing arguments,

851
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,162
and your reputation
has poisoned the jury.

852
00:32:11,162 --> 00:32:13,264
We need to pull a rabbit
out of a hat fast.

853
00:32:13,264 --> 00:32:15,233
Oh, God. If only you could just

854
00:32:15,233 --> 00:32:18,936
take the stand and-and-and speak
like you did just now,

855
00:32:18,936 --> 00:32:21,606
I mean, they would believe you
about everything,

856
00:32:21,606 --> 00:32:24,942
but, obviously,
that's off the table.

857
00:32:24,942 --> 00:32:26,477
Put me on the stand.

858
00:32:26,477 --> 00:32:28,946
Wha... Are you serious?

859
00:32:28,946 --> 00:32:31,482
No, no, you will be disbarred
for throwing the case.

860
00:32:31,482 --> 00:32:34,218
Better than serving
six years in prison.

861
00:32:34,218 --> 00:32:36,487
We both know
where this is headed.

862
00:32:36,487 --> 00:32:37,955
No.

863
00:32:37,955 --> 00:32:40,191
No, no, Belinda. We-we will
come up with something.

864
00:32:40,191 --> 00:32:41,659
We have to keep on fighting.

865
00:32:41,659 --> 00:32:43,995
Margaret, I'm gonna do it.

866
00:32:43,995 --> 00:32:46,864
If committing career suicide
means my freedom,

867
00:32:46,864 --> 00:32:48,633
so be it.

868
00:32:56,007 --> 00:32:57,809
What's this?

869
00:32:57,809 --> 00:32:59,377
A map.

870
00:32:59,377 --> 00:33:02,080
Of all the best overnight
parking spots by my condo.

871
00:33:03,281 --> 00:33:05,049
You laminated it.

872
00:33:05,049 --> 00:33:08,186
Yeah, in case you wanted
to keep it handy.

873
00:33:08,186 --> 00:33:09,954
Um, and in case you decided to,

874
00:33:09,954 --> 00:33:11,989
you know,
the farmer's market.

875
00:33:11,989 --> 00:33:13,458
You never
quite answered.

876
00:33:13,458 --> 00:33:14,959
And I was wondering if,
you know...

877
00:33:14,959 --> 00:33:15,960
You know
what, Lyle?

878
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,962
I, um...

879
00:33:19,764 --> 00:33:21,232
...um, I can't.

880
00:33:21,232 --> 00:33:22,967
Oh, if Saturday is better,
I have another one...

881
00:33:22,967 --> 00:33:25,136
No, I can't. I'm sorry.

882
00:33:26,337 --> 00:33:28,439
You know, just taking, um,

883
00:33:28,439 --> 00:33:30,675
our relationship
to the next level is,

884
00:33:30,675 --> 00:33:32,477
um...

885
00:33:33,478 --> 00:33:36,614
I've been burned
by office romances before

886
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,383
and I just...

887
00:33:38,383 --> 00:33:40,451
I'm not ready
to cross that line.

888
00:33:40,451 --> 00:33:41,853
Not yet.

889
00:33:42,854 --> 00:33:44,021
I'm sorry.

890
00:33:44,021 --> 00:33:45,890
Lyle, excuse me.
I need you to help me...

891
00:33:45,890 --> 00:33:47,058
I found
something.

892
00:33:47,058 --> 00:33:48,359
BOTH:
You are off
this case.

893
00:33:48,359 --> 00:33:50,728
Oh, fine. Whatever.
I'm working "bo prono."

894
00:33:50,728 --> 00:33:52,597
But that's not important.
And this is:

895
00:33:52,597 --> 00:33:54,098
Because of Belinda's
terrible reputation,

896
00:33:54,098 --> 00:33:56,167
I was convinced
the mastermind had to be

897
00:33:56,167 --> 00:33:57,568
someone with
a grudge against her.

898
00:33:57,568 --> 00:33:59,837
But I was looking at
the evidence all wrong.

899
00:33:59,837 --> 00:34:02,006
What do
you mean?
Well, instead of adversaries,

900
00:34:02,006 --> 00:34:04,275
I should've been
looking at allies.

901
00:34:04,275 --> 00:34:07,612
Someone with the knowledge
and access to pull this off.

902
00:34:07,612 --> 00:34:09,013
So... (clears throat)

903
00:34:09,013 --> 00:34:11,249
...the burner phone
from the fake business card

904
00:34:11,249 --> 00:34:13,084
pinged right here

905
00:34:13,084 --> 00:34:15,219
at a tower near
Debbie Richards' apartment.

906
00:34:15,219 --> 00:34:17,054
Debbie, Belinda's old assistant?

907
00:34:17,054 --> 00:34:19,757
Yep, and it pinged
here at court...

908
00:34:19,757 --> 00:34:22,093
On the day of her testimony.

909
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:23,561
LYLE:
It looks like
after leaving

910
00:34:23,561 --> 00:34:24,629
Belinda's firm,

911
00:34:24,629 --> 00:34:26,631
she was on and off
unemployment for months.

912
00:34:26,631 --> 00:34:28,466
Yeah, she also
filed for bankruptcy

913
00:34:28,466 --> 00:34:30,401
two years ago and
then withdrew it.

914
00:34:30,401 --> 00:34:32,403
So, she would've not only
had access to

915
00:34:32,403 --> 00:34:33,838
all of Belinda's agreements,

916
00:34:33,838 --> 00:34:36,307
she would've known
which of her old clients

917
00:34:36,307 --> 00:34:37,842
was open to the scam.

918
00:34:37,842 --> 00:34:39,677
This isn't
about revenge.

919
00:34:39,677 --> 00:34:40,812
It's about
desperation.

920
00:34:40,812 --> 00:34:42,914
So, what if we made her

921
00:34:42,914 --> 00:34:45,049
a little more desperate?

922
00:34:50,855 --> 00:34:52,957
You don't have to do this.

923
00:34:52,957 --> 00:34:55,660
I have Todd working
on a plan right now.

924
00:34:55,660 --> 00:34:57,462
Margaret, I hate
to break the news to you,

925
00:34:57,462 --> 00:34:58,796
but your son's an idiot.

926
00:34:58,796 --> 00:35:00,665
That's not true.

927
00:35:00,665 --> 00:35:02,767
He is not the same person
he was when he worked with you.

928
00:35:02,767 --> 00:35:03,835
It's too late.

929
00:35:03,835 --> 00:35:05,436
Let's-let's just
get it over with.

930
00:35:05,436 --> 00:35:07,104
(sighs)

931
00:35:08,272 --> 00:35:09,941
(phone buzzing)

932
00:35:09,941 --> 00:35:11,642
Oh. Hey, Mom.

933
00:35:11,642 --> 00:35:13,377
Todd, where are we at?

934
00:35:13,377 --> 00:35:14,445
We have a trap
set for Debbie.

935
00:35:14,445 --> 00:35:16,113
Hey, I was going
to tell her.

936
00:35:16,113 --> 00:35:17,715
We have a trap
set for Debbie.

937
00:35:17,715 --> 00:35:19,817
Since we knew that
the settlement payments

938
00:35:19,817 --> 00:35:21,152
for the fake
slip-and-falls

939
00:35:21,152 --> 00:35:22,787
were going to an account
at Western Gateway...

940
00:35:22,787 --> 00:35:24,188
You should really
clean this car.

941
00:35:24,188 --> 00:35:25,623
Oh, he's not wrong, Todd.

942
00:35:25,623 --> 00:35:28,526
Okay. Well,
we sent phony alerts

943
00:35:28,526 --> 00:35:29,861
saying that her funds
were frozen to

944
00:35:29,861 --> 00:35:31,562
her real phone
and the burner.

945
00:35:31,562 --> 00:35:33,898
Excellent. And I've already
spoken to the police.

946
00:35:33,898 --> 00:35:35,233
I will have them
meet you at the bank.

947
00:35:35,233 --> 00:35:36,934
No, no, no, no, no.
It'll be too late.

948
00:35:36,934 --> 00:35:38,269
She'll be gone
before they get here.

949
00:35:38,269 --> 00:35:39,704
And, once she knows
we're after her,

950
00:35:39,704 --> 00:35:42,373
she'll disappear like Cory.
You have to delay her.

951
00:35:42,373 --> 00:35:44,742
Todd, don't fail me.

952
00:35:44,742 --> 00:35:46,544
Hey, I will handle this end.

953
00:35:46,544 --> 00:35:48,613
Your job is to stall that trial.

954
00:35:48,613 --> 00:35:50,448
BAILIFF:
All rise.

955
00:35:53,684 --> 00:35:55,319
Be seated.

956
00:35:56,587 --> 00:35:57,688
ROBERTS:
Ms. Wright,

957
00:35:57,688 --> 00:35:58,890
are you ready
to call your witness?

958
00:35:58,890 --> 00:36:00,358
(clears throat)

959
00:36:00,358 --> 00:36:01,859
Yes, Your Honor, yes.

960
00:36:04,562 --> 00:36:06,330
Oh!

961
00:36:06,330 --> 00:36:09,000
Oh, I am so sorry, Your Honor.

962
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,501
I... Oh!

963
00:36:10,501 --> 00:36:11,736
Oh, no. Sorry. Wait.

964
00:36:11,736 --> 00:36:13,104
Just so sorry...

965
00:36:13,104 --> 00:36:15,439
What are you doing?

966
00:36:15,439 --> 00:36:17,108
Delay. Delay.

967
00:36:17,108 --> 00:36:18,776
Delay.

968
00:36:18,776 --> 00:36:20,745
Oh.

969
00:36:20,745 --> 00:36:23,548
Oh, no, my mother's necklace!

970
00:36:23,548 --> 00:36:25,583
Oh, no!

971
00:36:25,583 --> 00:36:27,618
(Belinda crying):
Oh, God...

972
00:36:28,753 --> 00:36:29,854
Oh...

973
00:36:31,889 --> 00:36:34,058
You carry a name
tag with you?

974
00:36:34,058 --> 00:36:35,626
Octavius?

975
00:36:35,626 --> 00:36:36,894
Of course.
You don't?

976
00:36:36,894 --> 00:36:38,329
Uh, yeah.

977
00:36:38,329 --> 00:36:40,331
It's just in
my other car.

978
00:36:40,331 --> 00:36:42,400
LYLE:
She's here.

979
00:36:43,901 --> 00:36:46,604
(clears throat)

980
00:36:46,604 --> 00:36:49,006
Oh. Just a second, please.

981
00:36:49,006 --> 00:36:51,676
Uh, excuse me, Your Honor,
I've just gotta...

982
00:36:51,676 --> 00:36:54,178
I've, somewhere,
misplaced my reading glasses.

983
00:36:54,178 --> 00:36:56,314
Can't see a thing.
(chuckles)

984
00:36:56,314 --> 00:36:58,749
Just, uh...

985
00:36:58,749 --> 00:37:01,085
Okay. Hmm...

986
00:37:04,455 --> 00:37:07,058
Oh. No. (chuckles)
That's not it.

987
00:37:07,058 --> 00:37:09,260
Okay. No.

988
00:37:10,861 --> 00:37:11,929
Oh, God.

989
00:37:11,929 --> 00:37:13,397
No. (chuckles)

990
00:37:13,397 --> 00:37:15,333
They must be
in here somewhere. (chuckles)

991
00:37:15,333 --> 00:37:16,767
ROBERTS:
Counselor.

992
00:37:16,767 --> 00:37:17,902
Today.

993
00:37:17,902 --> 00:37:19,637
Ah. There it is.

994
00:37:19,637 --> 00:37:21,105
Reading glasses.

995
00:37:21,105 --> 00:37:23,274
Okay. Ahem.

996
00:37:23,274 --> 00:37:24,842
(clears throat)

997
00:37:24,842 --> 00:37:27,745
Okay, Ms. Tuttle,

998
00:37:27,745 --> 00:37:30,982
uh, what is it, exactly,

999
00:37:30,982 --> 00:37:34,318
that you do for a living?

1000
00:37:34,318 --> 00:37:35,953
Well, I suppose that depends on

1001
00:37:35,953 --> 00:37:40,691
what your definition of
what "is" is?

1002
00:37:40,691 --> 00:37:42,793
Oh, yes. I completely

1003
00:37:42,793 --> 00:37:44,562
understand
your confusion.

1004
00:37:44,562 --> 00:37:46,897
In this context,

1005
00:37:46,897 --> 00:37:48,966
it is a verb of

1006
00:37:48,966 --> 00:37:50,568
the present tense

1007
00:37:50,568 --> 00:37:52,103
"to be."
(pen clatters)

1008
00:37:54,538 --> 00:37:56,841
MAN:
Thank you, Ms. Tuttle.
I'm not sure what happened.

1009
00:37:56,841 --> 00:37:58,142
If you'll just
wait here a moment,

1010
00:37:58,142 --> 00:37:59,844
I'll go find out
who sent you those alerts.

1011
00:38:04,982 --> 00:38:07,318
Ms. Belinda Tuttle?

1012
00:38:08,452 --> 00:38:09,820
Yes, I'm Belinda Tuttle.

1013
00:38:09,820 --> 00:38:12,890
Oh. Fantastic.
Would you say that again?

1014
00:38:12,890 --> 00:38:14,191
And smile?

1015
00:38:14,191 --> 00:38:16,394
Wait, what is this?

1016
00:38:16,394 --> 00:38:17,962
Are you...

1017
00:38:17,962 --> 00:38:19,463
Oh...

1018
00:38:21,432 --> 00:38:23,234
(gasps)
(patrons exclaim)

1019
00:38:23,234 --> 00:38:24,568
Trouble?

1020
00:38:25,703 --> 00:38:27,004
Call Tuttle.

1021
00:38:27,004 --> 00:38:28,673
{\an8}Where is... Oh.
(pearl clatters)

1022
00:38:28,673 --> 00:38:29,874
ROBERTS:
Counselor,

1023
00:38:29,874 --> 00:38:30,875
if you don't speed up
this questioning,

1024
00:38:30,875 --> 00:38:32,009
I'm gonna hold you in contempt.

1025
00:38:32,009 --> 00:38:33,511
Do you understand?
Uh, yes, Your Honor.

1026
00:38:33,511 --> 00:38:34,879
(cell phone buzzes)

1027
00:38:34,879 --> 00:38:36,313
Oh.

1028
00:38:36,313 --> 00:38:38,582
Oh! Your Honor,

1029
00:38:38,582 --> 00:38:41,552
I think you are going to
give us that continuance now.

1030
00:38:55,533 --> 00:38:56,934
H.R. form 545,

1031
00:38:56,934 --> 00:38:59,036
to be used for
inter-office relationships

1032
00:38:59,036 --> 00:39:00,371
whenever you are ready.

1033
00:39:01,605 --> 00:39:02,707
I want you
to understand

1034
00:39:02,707 --> 00:39:05,076
that I am
all in on you,

1035
00:39:05,076 --> 00:39:07,111
and I will do
whatever is necessary

1036
00:39:07,111 --> 00:39:08,979
to help you
feel comfortable.

1037
00:39:16,587 --> 00:39:17,855
You know what?

1038
00:39:17,855 --> 00:39:19,623
Let's go.

1039
00:39:19,623 --> 00:39:21,559
Right now.

1040
00:39:21,559 --> 00:39:22,626
To your place.

1041
00:39:22,626 --> 00:39:23,694
But the farmer's market is

1042
00:39:23,694 --> 00:39:24,895
only open on Saturdays.

1043
00:39:24,895 --> 00:39:26,130
If we get
there before...

1044
00:39:26,130 --> 00:39:27,932
(gasps) Oh.

1045
00:39:27,932 --> 00:39:30,401
Oh, okay. Okay.

1046
00:39:30,401 --> 00:39:32,103
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. That's a plan.
It's a plan.

1047
00:39:32,103 --> 00:39:34,705
I-I-I-I am on board. Yes.
Let me, uh,

1048
00:39:34,705 --> 00:39:36,273
let me just go grab
some files from Susan.

1049
00:39:36,273 --> 00:39:37,274
She just sent me an email.

1050
00:39:37,274 --> 00:39:39,076
And she's--
I've just gotta go...

1051
00:39:39,076 --> 00:39:41,645
And I'll be right back.
I will be right back.

1052
00:39:41,645 --> 00:39:43,114
Right back.

Dr. Batten has been

Oh, Margaret.
Oh...

1060
00:41:00,925 --> 00:41:02,693
I can never thank you enough.

1061
00:41:02,693 --> 00:41:04,094
But I'd like to think
that you learned

1062
00:41:04,094 --> 00:41:05,596
a thing or two
from me along the way.

1063
00:41:05,596 --> 00:41:07,731
Oh, I don't know about that.

1064
00:41:07,731 --> 00:41:09,400
You're welcome.
(laughs)

1065
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,769
Hi.
There he is.

1066
00:41:11,769 --> 00:41:13,137
Okay. We're hugging? Okay.
Oh...

1067
00:41:13,137 --> 00:41:14,972
Thank you.

1068
00:41:14,972 --> 00:41:16,874
I knew you were
the right person to come to

1069
00:41:16,874 --> 00:41:19,577
for help. And remember,
if you're ever in trouble...

1070
00:41:19,577 --> 00:41:20,878
I know. Call Tuttle.

1071
00:41:20,878 --> 00:41:23,113
(chuckles)

1072
00:41:24,748 --> 00:41:26,150
Belinda Tuttle.

1073
00:41:26,150 --> 00:41:27,685
Is your neck all right?
Your posture's off.

1074
00:41:27,685 --> 00:41:29,854
Work stress?
Yeah.

1075
00:41:29,854 --> 00:41:32,356
Go see a doctor and call me.

1076
00:41:32,356 --> 00:41:35,359
ALLISON:
(gasps) Is this
a butterscotch?

1077
00:41:35,359 --> 00:41:37,394
Hey, what are you doing?
You're sitting? Did you forget?

1078
00:41:37,394 --> 00:41:39,530
ALLISON:
Yeah, we're getting dinner,
right? You're paying.

1079
00:41:39,530 --> 00:41:40,598
Or he's paying. I'm not.
Mm-mm.

1080
00:41:40,598 --> 00:41:42,199
We're getting dinner, right?

1081
00:41:42,199 --> 00:41:43,968
Allison, I thought you were
getting your roots done today.

1082
00:41:43,968 --> 00:41:45,703
Mom, do not.

1083
00:41:45,703 --> 00:41:47,738
Well, okay. Okay, okay.

1084
00:41:47,738 --> 00:41:49,740
Mom, I cannot
sit in my apartment

1085
00:41:49,740 --> 00:41:51,609
for another night,
watching her eat cereal.

1086
00:41:51,609 --> 00:41:53,143
You're also eating cereal.

1087
00:41:53,143 --> 00:41:54,612
Yeah, all
the more reason.

1088
00:41:54,612 --> 00:41:56,614
Todd and Allison,
I would love nothing more

1089
00:41:56,614 --> 00:41:58,048
than to take you both to dinner,

1090
00:41:58,048 --> 00:42:00,050
but I can't, I'm too busy.

1091
00:42:00,050 --> 00:42:03,053
This is the second
fake meal with Mom

1092
00:42:03,053 --> 00:42:05,256
this week that you have
dragooned me into.

1093
00:42:05,256 --> 00:42:07,758
You are buying me dinner,
and I'm not eating clam chowder.

1094
00:42:07,758 --> 00:42:09,793
What? I can't afford
to feed two people

1095
00:42:09,793 --> 00:42:11,228
anything but clam chowder.

1096
00:42:11,228 --> 00:42:12,563
Just lop off
another pinky toe.

1097
00:42:12,563 --> 00:42:14,565
Should be more than enough.

1098
00:42:14,565 --> 00:42:16,367
TODD:
Ha-ha-ha-ha.

1099
00:42:16,367 --> 00:42:18,802
Hey, Mom?
Hmm?

1100
00:42:18,802 --> 00:42:20,471
Maybe all my worrying about
Belinda was for nothing.

1101
00:42:20,471 --> 00:42:22,907
I mean, we're still
top-shelf, right?

1102
00:42:22,907 --> 00:42:24,441
Top-est of the top.

1103
00:42:24,441 --> 00:42:27,311
Yeah, like where you
keep all the good stuff.

1104
00:42:33,017 --> 00:42:34,184
