- My briefcase? - Yeah.
No, l can handle it, thank you.

Okay.
Hey, Burton, how are you feeling today?
Hey, Jake, how you doing? l'm good, thanks.
Good. Good. Listen, l'm afraid l've got some very bad news for you.
Morning.
Oh, Nick, can l talk to you for a second?
Ted, will you just take a seat over there? l'll be right with you.

What?
Two of them are dead, and his father shot himself.
He doesn't know?
No.

Why am l here?
Ted, there's this woman from Social Services,
and she has to talk to you, so--
Okay, but why am l here?
Hi, Ted. l'm Suzanne.
Coach Bernardo? What are you doing here?
Just, uh...
Just seeing how you're doing, kid.
Ted, there's been an incident involving your father.
What?
He's been hurt, and the doctors are trying to help him.
Well, what happened?
He walked in, and he said hello to a few people.
And then he walked right up to Mr. Kane.
And he pulled out a gun, and he just...
Everyone was there for the morning meeting,
and he just shot Mr. Kane in the head.
And then he shot Jenny and then he shot Vince.
And he shot Vince three times.
l'm so sorry, Annette.
Um, you wanted to talk to Bill Jameson, right,
about his statement for the press?
Right. We have to be a little careful what we say, legal reasons.
Listen, Annette, if you have any more problems,
you need anything at all, just call me.
This is a direct number, okay?
Okay.
[sighs] All right. Hang in there.
- All right? - All right.
- Thank you. - Take care.
Eric?
Burton, hey.
How you doing, son?
l'm good.
l'm so sorry to hear about your dad.
- When did you get here? - l just got here.
How are you feeling?
Oh, l'm--l'm fine.
l heard about the heart surgery. That's some serious stum.
Well, now l'm fine.
Hard to believe you're already up and around.
No. l'm fine, thank you. But how are you holding up?
l'm good.
You don't think maybe you should, uh... be back at home or--
l'm good, really. l, uh...
l already talked to everybody, so...
Oh.
Well, listen, if your mom needs anything,
any help with the funeral or anything else, will you let me know?
Burton...
l want to finish the Palamar deal.
There's a clock on this thing.
You don't have to worry about that right now.
l mean, we can get that e_ended.
l want to assemble the board as soon as possible
and have them approve me as CEO.
Well, l was thinking maybe it'd be a good idea if you took a little time om.
You know, my father's been working on this deal for five years.
- l understand. - So you'll get a meeting with the board.
Well, l--l probably--
Good! Thank you.
Yeah.
Well--
Excuse me.
Eric, this is Dr. Jonah Silverman.
He's a psychologist, and he'd like to talk to you.
Hello.
Appreciate you coming down, Dr. Silverman,
but l'm very busy right now.
Uh, Eric--
Annette, perhaps we can meet with Dr. Silverman
when it works better for my schedule.
Sure. Sure. Call me when you're ready.
Well, take, uh... take care.
[Ted] He shot three people?
Apparently, yes.
Ted, part of what we need to do right now is Iearn a little bit about you,
about your relationship with your father.
Why?
Because we want to help you.
Can you tell me how your father dealt with his anger at home?
What do you mean?
We don't understand everything that happened today,
but it seems your father was very angry.
Did he get angry with you?
l guess.
Did he ever hit you?
[Ted] No.
Yell at you?
Sometimes.
Ted, have you ever felt like you could hurt somebody?
- Oh, come on! No! Just stop! - We need to know so we can--
Think about what this kid is going through.
Nick, we need to go outside.
Ted, you stay with Dr. Gupta, okay?
Nick. Nick.
She needs to ask those questions.
l know it seems insensitive, but if he's been abused in any way--
- That boy in there needs his mother. - She's dead.
- Does he have any relatives? - Don't know.
He and his father moved here from Minnesota two years ago.
Look, l need to get back in there, but maybe you should wait.
Yes, fine. Fine
[Suzanne] l'll call you tomorrow. [Dr. Gupta] Good.
[Suzanne] Take care, Ted.
Can l go home now?
You'll need to stay in a shelter for a few nights.
Why can't l stay with one of my friends?
Not tonight.
- What about Coach Bernardo? - Not tonight.
Let's just get you home, get a few of your things
and get you settled in at the shelter, okay?
- Will you come? - Me?
[Woman reporter] Here they come! Here they come!
Maybe l should just go in alone.
[reporters shouting]
My room's down the hall.
Okay.
[door opens]
Hmm. Nicholas.
Sit down, son.
How you doing?
Well, okay, l guess.
l went over to see Eric Kane this afternoon.
That kid's in shock.
All he wanted to talk about was the Palamar deal.
[sighs]
His dad l never knew very well.
He used to send over his henchmen to the meeting and...
That animal.
They said they'd laid him om two weeks ago.
Yeah.
lt's unbelievable.
Man works all his life building something up and...
one of his employees does something like that.
You know, Dad, maybe it's a little too soon for you to be back at work.
The doc says it's okay.
Doctor said part-time.
That's what l'm doing.
Well, listen, l've been thinking about the firm,
and l think we should probably talk about a transition here.
What do you mean?
Well, l always promised myself when l got older
that l wouldn't hang on too long.
Executive committee is meeting this Friday,
and l thought l'd propose that l step down.
You're going to retire?
No, but l do think it's time you be named managing partner.
l think we should act now.
Yeah.
You're ready.
Yeah.
Well, there're a few things you're gonna have to figure out, but, uh...
You're ready. You're ready.
Hey.
Are you staring at me?
No.
l wasn't drooling or anything, was l?
No.
Oh, Friday afternoon l have another check-up.
Okay.
They're gonna do another ultrasound and, uh...
take some more tests and stum.
Right.
You want to come?
Of course.
Good.
Do l have to stay at the shelter much longer?
A few more weeks, maybe more.
The kids, they figured out who l am pretty fast.
They're saying things about my dad, and me.
You can only see him for a few minutes, okay?
Yeah.
What am l supposed to do?
You could try talking to him.
Can he hear me?
Maybe.
Hey, Dad.
lt's Ted.
l almost finished that puzzle of that schooner you liked.
But l think we lost two of the pieces.
[snimles]
- l wanted to ask him. - Ask him what?
lf he did it.
He would tell me.
l read in the paper.
lt said he shot a guy in the face three times.
He did that?
Yeah.
Eric. Come on in.
- How you doing, son? - l'm well.
- You look good. - Sit down.
Uh, thanks for basket that you sent to my mother.
She said that it was amazing. And the flowers, too.
Right. Right.
lt's appreciated.
Thanks.
So, did you talk to the board?
Eric, uh...
l think we all understand that this is not a real good time for you.
You said that you would contact the board and get me appointed CEO.
l know. l know.
They're all in town for the... for the funeral.
Yeah, right.
What is it?
Eric...
Did you get a chance to talk to that trauma counselor?
The guy--The guy from the omice? Dr. Silverman?
- Right. - No, not yet.
Are you planning to take a little time om?
- After the deal, maybe. - Maybe?
You know, l appreciate your concern on this, Burton. l do.
But l would prefer if you'd just act as my lawyer, all right?
l...
Yeah.
[door opens and closes]
Hey, Nick.
Hey, how you doing, Eric?
- l'm so sorry. - Thank you.
lf there's anything that l can do--
No. No, no, no. We got it--We got it covered.
Okay.
l got to, uh...
Can l talk to you a second about Craig Huberty's son?
What about him?
l work at this clinic that represents children and, uh...
l'm trying to find a place for him to live.
Oh.
lt's not a conflict. l just thought that you should know.
- Okay. - l'm sorry.
lt's just something l have to do.
Right. It's just, uh...
something you have to do.
Yeah.
Hey, l don't know if you've heard yet. Um...
Jenny, our Chief of Marketing, she died three hours ago.
l guess she never really had a chance.
Huberty shot her point-blank in the side of the head, so...
l gotta go.
Again, my condolences.
Thank you.
- That kid's a mess. - Yeah.
He wants the board members to vote him in as the new CEO.
Well, l can understand that.
[sighs] l don't know.
He wants to get back to work.
What else is he gonna do when something like this happens?
Problem is, l spoke to a few of the board members.
They're not real excited about the idea.
Does Eric know that?
l doubt it.
His father kept him pretty much in the dark most of the time.
lf l called a meeting, they'd vote him down.
lt wouldn't even be close.
l don't want to do that to him. Not right now, anyway.
Yeah.
Oh, l did speak to Jake and Higgins, Simonsen.
They're leaning towards supporting you.
- Leaning? - Yeah.
- Should l talk to them? - No, no, no. l'll handle it.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, this could be a very good thing for you.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Where were you?
l was with my dad.
Oh, right. How is he?
He's fine.
This whole shooting thing is terrible, isn't it?
Yeah.
Well, this is yours. It's kinda cold now.
Thank you.
My dad wants to make me managing partner.
Really? That's great.
Yeah.
That's what you want, right?
Sure.
So it's great.
A lot of the partners resent me.
Well, you're a great lawyer.
No, l have a good last name.
No, you're a great lawyer.
[telephone rings]
[ring]
Hello?
Hi, Suzanne.
Yeah, hang on. It's for you.
- So you hit him? - Right.
The kid spit on me. He was saying stum.
You know, Ted, l don't blame you. The ne_ time--
He was saying stum about my dad.
Ne_ time you fight, they won't just kick you out.
They will call the police and send you to a juvenile detention center.
l didn't start it. The kid spit on me.
- It doesn't matter. - l didn't start it.
What about Coach Bernardo. Can l stay with him?
- Not tonight. - But you'll ask?
Yeah.
Should l drive or--
l'm driving.
- l can follow you? - Right.
Or just come with you.
[starts engine]
Nick.
Morning.
What time did you get home last night?
Late.
[sighs] Well, is everything okay?
Yeah, it's fine.
What's up with that kid Ted? How is he?
Oh, some kid spit on him, so he hit him.
Oh.
Are you going to the gym now?
Yeah.
Why don't you just try and get some more sleep?
l don't sleep much, Lulu.
[front door opens and closes]
How long would he stay with me?
Couple of weeks, maybe a month.
A month?
- Well, until we find him a foster family. - Right.
He should be with people that he knows.
Of course. Of course.
So is that a yes? You'll do it?
Here's the thing.
The people in this community are pretty shaken up.
l'm sure.
l mean, look, l get it. Ted's a great kid.
But l've seen what they're doing outside his dad's house.
So that's a no?
Well, you see, l've got a thirteen-year-old son, right?
He's a good kid. He's quiet. He's not too athletic.
Right.
The last thing he needs is to have a target painted on his back.
l mean, Ted's dad shot three people, for God's sake.
You sent one of these arrangements, right?
Yeah.
Hey. How you doing, Eric, okay
Yeah, fine. Thanks.
You need anything?
Hey, how's that kid, Huberty's son?
Oh, he's...he's...
He's okay, l guess.
- His name is Ted, right? - That's right.
Theodore or Edward?
Theodore.
Right.
And his father, is he dead yet?
[Man] l'm very sorry, Eric.
Could--could-- Um, could l talk to you?
Sure.
Do you mind? Excuse me.
Right here.
What's up?
- l've got some great news. - Yeah?
After you left the omice, l went over to Palamar and met with Elson.
We sat down, hammered out the remaining issues
and signed the merger agreement.
l don't understand.
l closed the deal.
You're not the CEO.
- Burton. - Eric....
You don't have the authority to enter into a contract.
The deal's done, that's what matters.
lt's done. You'll deal with the legal technicalities.
Look, l've gotta go home.
Elson wants to meet tomorrow, at your omice,
and talk about a few transition issues, okay?
- Hey. You talk to him yet? - l was waiting for you.
Let's go.
Did you guys talk to Coach Bernardo?
Ted, your father died an hour ago.
l'm sorry.
We can arrange a funeral if you'd like, or just...
A funeral... l guess.
You don't have to decide right now.
l'm gonna go to bed now.
This is not about being the best lawyer.
Hell, we're all good lawyers. This is, uh...
This is about perceptions and relationships and...
well, the future.
Right.
You know, l know you're a contemporary of Nick's,
but l do think that Nick has a--
You know, just a couple things, Burton, if you don't mind.
Sure.
lf l support this, l'd like to get 500/o of the source credit
on Pierce Holdings and Halsey Electronics.
You know it's more than fair, Burton.
Fine.
Good.
So...
Now that's decided, let's get down to real tough decisions:
Rib eye or porterhouse?
- Thanks for taking me here. - No, it's fine.
l was starting to feel like...
l mean, l like sex as much as anybody likes sex, but...
l'm still a girl.
That's right.
So thank you.
You're welcome.
We can go now.
Okay.
Can l get the check, please?
- You all right? - Yeah, l'm fine.
You don't owe me any explanations, Nicholas.
No, l know that.
You are what you are.
You got a pregnant girl at home.
On probation and now you have a...
Well, you are what you are.
Yeah, that's right. That's right.
You...
You don't have any idea.
You think this is my intention?
Do you?
You think this is what l want? l asked her to marry me!
- That's right. - And this girl tonight, she's just--
That's another thing that's something complicated that just--
Wait a minute. Complicated? What does that mean?
l don't know what it means.
Well, l do. It's not complicated. It's very simple.
You're selfish.
You want everything you want, when you want it, how you want it.
What, you want me to lie to you?
You want me to tell you what a great job you're doing?
How you're acting like a man?
l'm not gonna do it anymore.
l can't treat you like a man when you act like a child.
You can't drink anymore, Nicholas!
You can't use drugs!
And you cannot continue to lie to the people who love you...anymore!
Lulu?
Hmm?
You okay?
Nick, what's going on with you?
l was drinking last night.
Okay.
l've been drinking a little.
There's been a lot going on and...
l've just been drinking.
Drugs?
Something else.
Right.
There's someone else.
Right.
Suzanne Pell?
Yeah.
Why?
- l don't know. - You don't know?
l don't.
Right.
Lulu, l asked you to marry me,
and you just looked at me like l was insulting you.
You care about Suzanne?
No, not really.
[sighs] What the hell are you doing?
l don't know.
l want to marry you, Lulu, and l want to be a good father to our child.
You can just go.
Anytime, anywhere.
You can take the child and you can just go.
Tell the court that l'm some addict, some probationer, and that's it.
You just go. And l'm alone.
And l want to have this family.
So you screw Suzanne Pell?
Thanks, Robert. Way to go.
- [knock on door] - Yeah?
- Hey, Eric. How are you? - Great.
Sit down.
Where's Elson?
He's, uh, not coming.
What?
Eric, the board members are not real comfortable
with you running the company.
- Comfortable? - Yeah.
Several of the key members think that you need, um...
well, a little time.
But it's my father's company. It's Kane Paper.
Yeah, l understand that, but it's a publicly traded company run by a board.
Now, that board is sorry for your loss,
but they're not prepared to make you CEO.
We're still gonna close the Palamar deal, though, right?
l don't know. l talked to Elson a couple hours ago
and explained about the stress you're under
and that you really didn't have the authority to sign that contract, but, uh...
Well, l think he understood.
l'm--l'm not gonna be CEO?
No. No, not right now.
l'm sorry.
Right.
Down the line, you know, maybe we can revisit this whole thing...
after you've had a little more experience and...
Right.
l hid under the table.
l'm sorry?
When Huberty came in, l saw him pull out the gun.
l was in the conference room with my dad and...
l could've, uh...
l could've...
But l just hid under the table.
[door opens and closes]
- You heard? - What?
Huberty's dead.
- Right. - Right.
l hope he sumered.
Hey.
Sit down, Nicholas.
About last night, l hope you understand that it was just a...
- Just a what? - A mistake.
Well, l know that.
And l know that you've gone out on a limb for me
with this managing partner thing,
and l want you to know that l will not let you down.
Well, l don't think it's quite fair to the other partners.
What do you mean?
This is their livelihood, Nicholas. Their life's work.
They've gotta be sure their leader is responsible.
l will be responsible.
l can't do it right now.
l'm sorry.
l won't do it.
[doorbell rings]
- Oh, hey, Ted. - Hey, Coach.
Why don't you come on in? Brian and Marcy are watching TV.
Why don't you hang out with them?
Thanks, Coach Bernardo.
- See you. - See you, Ted.
So...
Yep.
Do you need any more...
No, l'm okay... for now.
Just let me know what you need.
l'll write you a check.
- Great. - Okay.
[front door closes]
Nicholas has respectfully requested that l stay on as managing partner,
at least for the time being.
l privately suspect that he just doesn't want the old man playing golf every day.
[all laugh]
Now l'm pleased to announce that our corporate revenue
went up 20 O/o last last quarter.
And Jake here brought in two very important clients,
the Pierce Holdings and Halsey Electronics.
Also, the real estate department went up Iast quarter, TO/o.
Keep that up, Bob. Excellent.
l'm sorry.
l'm so sorry, Lulu. ♪♪♪ Ripped by FabHawk ♪♪♪
