Previously on The Firm
I assume Abby McDeere intends to testify?
She's a smart woman, Kevin. She knows what she saw.
You admit my client didn't pull the trigger.
The other man did.
What exactly happened to this other man?
I killed him.
On some level, I blame you for this.
I never asked for this.
No, but you didn't stop it.
I'm sorry, Kevin,
I tried to protect you and the company,
but it just wasn't possible.
- Who do they have? - Three partners at Kinross.
- But not you? - They tried; I was ready.
The other partners could talk, put you at the centre.
Just words.
They won't be able to prove the connection.
I called my parents. I'd like to see them.
I never thought we would get here, Abby.
I'm going, but I'm not leaving.
RAY: Stack's out.
Mitch said he saw him leave the courthouse dressed as a guard.
This is the US Federal Marshall Service!
We have the building surrounded!
[gunshot] Go!
[knocks]
You sure about this?
The, uh... only plane is later tonight.
I think it's easier if we just take the train.
Claire looks like she's leaving for 2 months.
We're girls. We like to have choices.
Yeah, well, you could choose not to go.
Mitch.
You could stay, and we could deal with this together
like we always do.
Doing things the way we always do
is what I need a break from.
I just thought because you didn't go yesterday, that...
We couldn't.
Babe, what was true yesterday is still true today.
It's not about you!
C'mon, Abby, you know how we work.
Whatever the issue is,
we deal with it together as a team.
We can fix this.
[zips suitcase]
Whatever's.... broken in me,
I need to fix myself.
I left some dinners in the freezer.
Come on, I don't want to miss the train.
I got it, I got it.
Why aren't you coming?
Oh, honey, look...
I would love to, but I can't. I have to work.
You could take a vacation.
Julia's dad takes a lot of vacations.
He'll come next time, sweetie.
No!
I think you should do it, Dad. I'm serious.
Come with us!
Excuse me...
- I think you dropped this. - Oh, thanks!
I have one myself.
It'd be a long ride without it.
Wait, this was on the floor?
Yeah, but I scooped it right up. You're good.
Definitely within the 5-second rule.
Thanks. Gotta run.
I think we're through here.
ANNOUNCEMENT: Silver Spring now departing.
You didn't answer.
What do you mean?
I asked you to come!
You guys are fighting. I'm not blind, you know.
Incoming: Roanoke, Kingsport, Lexington, Danesboro,
track 23.
That's us.
Hey, look...
I'll see you soon enough.
You should enjoy yourself.
You're gonna meet your grandma and grandpa for the first time!
Love you.
Love you too.
Okay.
Call me when you get there.

[♪]
Wow.
Black velvet. Yeah.
Don't look so surprised.
I told you, I run a reputable business now.
I know all about your reputable business, Russell.
So did everyone in Brushy Mountain.
Ancient history, I'm serious.
Okay, maybe back in the day
I moved the occasional undocumented stone.
But these are legit!
Hey, look, you're not buying from Tiffany's.
But my suppliers are good,
and so far I haven't any complaints.
Hmm...
- You're really gettin' married. - That's the idea.
So, which one of these is the best?
Ah, which one you like?
You know what I mean, cut, colour, clarity...
Which one has the most imperfections?
What do I look like to you, a jeweller?
I sell a lot of things, Ray.
I don't got time for that stuff.
But I got a guy...
He gives me the reports...
That one you're holding...
- It's the pick of the litter. - Says your guy.
I'll give you a great price.
[phone rings]
How's it going?
[sigh] How do you think?
My wife just took my daughter to Kentucky
and I think she's gonna need life-long therapy.
Naw, we grew up in Kentucky.
You get over it.
So what's going on? You coming in?
Uh, no, not yet.
I gotta swing by Kinross and clean out my office.
That should take all of two seconds.
Have you ever even been there?
Yeah, once or twice.
I think we're all done with Kinross for a while.
Damn right.
Be happy to walk away
as soon as Alex Clark gets what's coming to her.
Yeah, I don't know how yet,
but it's definitely on my radar.
What are you doing?
I'm just catching up with an old friend.
You can't just arrest me!
I didn't do anything! Let go of me!
Ray, let me call you back.
Hey! Hey, what's going on here?
None of your concern, sir.
You can tell them! I was inside!
I'm just waiting for my ride!
Officer, I did see her inside.
Yeah, well, we saw what she was doing outside.
Got a lot of complaints about solicitation on this block.
Solicitation! You think she's a prostitute?
I didn't do anything!
You're out here approaching cars,
looking in windows, scopin' out drivers!
You don't know what kind of car your ride has?
Move along, sir.
- No! - Hey, hey!
She is kid! What the hell are you doing?
A lot less than we'll do to you if you don't keep walking.
I'm a lawyer - I'm her lawyer.
I don't want her questioned, you understand me?
You're her lawyer, really?
What's her name?
That's what I thought.
Tell you what, counsellor.
Your client's under arrest
for loitering for the purpose of prostitution.
She has the right to remain silent.
You have the right to go screw yourself.
The precinct gave me her name.
Lafleur, yeah, rings a bell.
It's been a busy day in arraignment.
First name's Jennifer, she was brought in
on a loitering for the purpose charge.
Doesn't exactly narrow it down. We get about 30 a day.
[door buzzes]
Lafleur, Jennifer!
Yeah...
I'm Jenny Lafleur.
- What are you doing here? - We should talk.
You're a lawyer?
Yeah, you got arrested in front of the right guy.
I might be able to help.
But why? You don't even know me.
You did a nice thing for my daughter
in a not-so-nice time.
Hey, are you okay?
You look sick. Did something happen?
I just need to get out of here. Can you do that?
Well, I can try,
but it might take a while for your case to be called.
Hey... What's going on?
You can level with me.
I'm not a prostitute.
Why were you standing outside of train station
looking inside drivers' windows?
I'm originally from Montreal.
I went home to visit my family. I'm listening.
My dad's in trouble.
He owes a lot of money to some really bad people.
They're called MX-9.
That's an international drug cartel.
Some guys came to see my dad.
They knew I was going to DC.
They said that, if I brought some stuff across the border,
my dad would be even.
And your dad let you do that?
They didn't give him a choice.
So that's the ride you were waiting for?
That was their connection?
He's probably looking for me.
Jenny, the police, they have your bags.
They will have found the drugs already.
No...
the drugs aren't in my bags.
They're in me.
You swallowed them?
That might be why you're sick.
We need to get you to a hospital.
No, I can't.
They said that if I got caught or told the truth,
they'd kill my dad and my sister.
Jenny, listen to me.
If one of those bags leaks, you could die.
Then help me.
Please!
Get me out of here.
You help a mule, you help the traffickers who sent her.
I'm not turning my own client in.
You spring her, the junk she's carrying will hit the street.
She's a kid.
If she gets exposed,
she faces international trafficking charges
and her family gets hurt or killed.
Assuming that it's true.
It's a bogus solicitation charge, Ray.
Look, I'm just doing my job.
If she gets out, passes the drugs,
then it's not our problem.
Nice rationalization.
It's not a rationalization, it's the way the system works.
Option one: I turn her in,
she gets charged with A felony,
and goes to prison for years;
Option two: I turn her in
and her dad and sister get hurt by MX-9 in Montreal.
Option three: You leave her in her holding cell
and she dies of a drug overdose.
No, it's not gonna happen.
I can get her out.
What do I call them?
You're probably safe with Grandma and Grandpa.
How come I haven't gone to see them before?
Well, you know why.
We were in witness protection.
No, I mean since.
It's hard to explain. Um...
My parents didn't like that I married Daddy.
How come?
I don't know. They...
They wanted me to be protected.
To have enough money.
Find a guy from a wealthy family.
Well, Dad makes money.
Dad is fantastic.
They just couldn't see it back then.
And I had to make a choice.
Well, I'm glad you chose Dad.
I wouldn't have you if I didn't.
You know, I gotta say, babe,
Abby's parents, they do not sound like my kind of people.
Come on, you get along with everyone.
They just seem really uptight.
Well, they're different. They're... rich.
Honey, I don't know if their marriage can survive this.
[sigh]
I mean, every couple goes through problems
but, I don't know... this.
It might be too much for them.
Lord knows, you and I,
we've been through our stuff.
I'd like to think we could make it through anything, but...
I just hope they don't break up.
Will you marry me?
What?
I don't know, I had a whole different plan.
A whole romantic scenario.
But this thing's burning a hole in my pocket.
I don't know what's gonna happen with Mitch and Abby,
but maybe what rips them apart
brings us together.
I don't know what to say.
Say yes, or I'm gonna have to take this back.
Yeah?
[sigh]
Yes.
Oh, I love you.
I see you lurking, McDeere.
I'm not lurking, I just came to say hey.
- And ask for a favour. - Predictable. Go ahead.
I have a client, 19-year old girl, clean record.
She is sittin' in the pens.
Come on, it's a busy night, everybody's got to wait.
She is a 19-year old girl,
picked up because she decided to wait for her ride
in an area where they were targeting for prostitution.
Loitering for the purpose?
And let me guess, she is as pure as the driven snow.
She is an innocent girl!
Look, you know me, this is not what I do.
Just help me get her case moved up the docket.
I can get her out by this afternoon.
Mitch McDeere, looking for special treatment.
Come on, Sonya. Just this once.
Calling CMD-32975;
United States versus Jenny Lafleur.
Your Honour, given that this is a first arrest,
the government offers a plea to the lesser charge
of disorderly conduct.
We also offer a conditional discharge.
No jail time, provided the defendant
is not re-arrested within the next year.
And does the defendant find this agreement acceptable?
She does, Your Honour.
In that case, Miss Lafleur,
on the misdemeanour charge of disorderly conduct,
how do you plead?
[quietly] Jenny...
Jenny...
Jenny! Jenny!
Call an ambulance!
Hey, little brother.
Guess who just got engaged.
Ah...
Hey, congratulations.
- Thanks, man. - Isn't this kind of sudden?
That's funny, 'cause Tammy said 'what took you so long?'
That's what I mean, why now, after all these years?
I don't know, everything we've been through,
especially you and Abby.
- Life's short. - Yeah, it is.
You heard from her?
Mitch McDeere?
I understand you're Miss Lafleur's attorney.
Uh, yes, I am.
Is she gonna be all right?
We performed a laparotomy.
Removed four sealed balloons
through an incision in her large intestine.
One of them was leaking heroin.
We administered Narcan to reverse the effects.
She's in recovery now.
- Will she be okay? - She'll be fine.
It's good you brought her in when you did.
A little later, it would have been too late.
As her attorney, doctor, the drugs...
Not my department.
Not my call.
Thanks.
Is that him?
Dad...
The last time I saw you,
you were going into the program
and I thought I would never see you again.
Dad...
this is Claire.
[chuckles]
What a fine-looking young lady.
Where's Grandma?
She's coming, isn't she?
She wanted to, but she's been fighting a bug,
and she just wasn't up to it.
She really wants to meet you, Claire.
I'm sure she'll see both of you before you leave.
[quietly] Come on.
[monitor beeping throughout]
The doctor says you'll be fine, but it was a close call, Jenny.
What's gonna happen?
What about my dad?
- If they don't get - - Hey, hey...
We'll call your dad and let him know that you're okay.
But that he may be in danger.
Hey, what the hell is going on here, Sonya?
We got a call from the hospital, we know about the heroin.
She just got out of surgery!
Good, just in time for her to be arrested for possession
with intent to distribute.
Just let me deal with this, okay?
Can I talk to you outside?
[quietly] Handcuffing her to the bed?
She is a drug mule.
We generally don't bring them flowers and a get-well balloon.
You lied to me, didn't you.
You must have known that she was bringing drugs into the country.
You were charging her with prostitution,
I was representing my client.
You're like some cartel lawyer.
I expect... better from you
which is exactly what you counted on.
So this is payback?
Look, just hear me out.
There are extenuating circumstances.
Well, you can regale everyone with those at trial
while I talk about the heroin that we recovered.
- All inadmissible. - Please!
I will show the jury the 30 surgical staples
holding her belly together if I have to.
The hospital had no right to tell you about the drugs.
They violated doctor-patient confidentiality.
If you seize them, I will have a judge throw them out.
Somewhere Pablo Escobar's former mouthpiece must be so proud.
The law is the law, Sonya.
You tell it to the judge.
We saw on the television...
what you went through.
It was on the national news.
I wanted to call so many times.
[quietly] Dad...
Of course. But are you all right?
And Mitch?
Dad would have come, but he had to work.
Ah.
- Your cheque, sir. - Thank you.
Dad... Don't be absurd.
It isn't every day a grandfather gets to meet his only grandchild.
Or grandmother.
I guess that bug Mom caught must be pretty serious.
You know your mother.
She's stubborn.
Whatever's bothering her will pass.
Just give her time.
I'm so happy I got to meet you.
[chuckles]
- We'll walk you out. - No, don't be silly.
You two must be exhausted after your trip.
[sigh] Good night, my lovely.
Bye, Grandpa. Is it okay if I call you that?
I insist.
- Bye, love. - Bye, Dad.
- Tell Grandma to get better. - I will.
Bye now.
May I have a wake-up call for the morning, please?
Room 342.
Certainly. What time, Miss?
8 AM.
You're here early.
Just packing up a few things. Last day.
Well, I hope not. Nicholas Kinross,
- I'm one of the founding partners - - Founding partners, of course.
Nice to meet you finally, sir.
I started this place with Alan Clark,
what seems like a lifetime ago.
Still a few clients, but Alex handles the day-to-day
which, of course, you know.
I don't have anything to say about Alex, Mr. Kinross.
At least that you'd want to hear.
Oh, you're wrong.
See, I know that you think that Alex
was part of Kevin Stack's conspiracy.
And I just have to say it wouldn't surprise me.
Well, Alex is my partner's daughter
and I've allowed her to run the place,
but I've always had my concerns.
We just handed her the place.
Guys like you and me,
we had to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps.
I started in family law.
I got my start paying off doormen in rich highrises
to tell me which marriages were on the rocks.
And then I made sure that those people had my business card
when it came for the divorce.
Had to hustle for what's mine.
Just like you.
I wish I had worked here when you were still here, sir.
Well, I'm not gone just yet.
We're having a partners' meeting tonight.
So I hope you'll be there.
[sigh]
You know, studies have shown
slamming drawers doesn't make what you're looking for
show up any faster.
I know it's here!
[gasp] Yes!
Well, I guess they have to do some more studies.
About what?
Couples that get engaged after a decade?
Congratulations.
Aw, thanks babe.
Is that for me?
My divorce papers!
It's the info we need for our new marriage certificate.
Hey, I just heard an interesting story.
Doormen, you once said that they know everything.
They are the bread and butter of the private investigator.
- Why? - Kevin Stack.
You ever check out his building?
Yeah, but no one was talking.
Maybe they will now that he's dead.
Alex said she didn't know him well, right?
Which we know is a lie,
so we just have to prove it.
Somebody who saw them;
Private meetings outside the office,
show that she was conspiring with him.
I'll check it out.
[knocking] Can I help you?
I'm Agent Elkin, DEA. I'm here in connection with -
I know why you're here.
Come on in.
This is about Jenny Lafleur.
We were tracking the activities of the Quebec drug gang, MX-9.
We believe your client was a courier for them.
You want her to cooperate.
Look... You're an experienced guy.
You know we're not interested in a guppy like Jenny Lafleur.
Help us build a case on MX-9.
In return, we're prepared to support full immunity.
And offer protective custody
for Miss Lafleur and her family in Montreal.
- Witness protection. - I'm sure you know how that works.
Jenny spoke to her father.
He is taking precautions, but we will consider it.
Well, consider it quickly.
Our offer's only good until the judge rules on the drugs.
Once they're officially admissible,
we won't be so charitable.
Hey, congratulations!
So, Ray finally pulled the trigger.
I know, can you believe it?
and he was on his knee,
and it was just so sweet -
[gasp] Oh no.
What, are you okay?
He didn't sign the divorce papers.
Who?
[sigh] My ex, Elvis.
Why didn't he sign the papers?
I don't know.
He sent them to me years ago,
and I never bothered to look.
Now what am I gonna do?
Well, do you know where he is?
Tennessee somewhere.
You're gonna have to find him.
Tammy, legally you're still married.
Ray'll understand.
Hey, listen, um...
Look, can I call you back later?
I uh... Congratulations again.
All right, sweetie.
[door bell]
Hello, Mother.
Abby...
What a nice surprise.
I see you've made a miraculous recovery.
Oh, must have been one of those 24-hour bugs.
Where's Claire?
She's with Dad at the hotel.
Ah.
If you don't want to see me, that's your choice.
But I wish you would have told me on the phone before I came.
It's not that simple.
I wanted to be there last night.
But when the time came, I...
I wasn't ready for the emotions.
I didn't want to play those out in front of your daughter.
Claire would love to meet you.
And I would like to give her that.
Of course.
Why don't the two of you come by later for dinner.
Shall we say six?
We'll have a nice visit.
Six.
Abby...
Why did you come back?
After all these years, why now?
Your father suggested that you and Mitch
might be having some trouble.
No.
Well, give my best to Mitch, won't you?
Hey...
Excuse me.
I'm a private investigator.
I've got a couple questions about a former resident, uh...
Kevin Stack?
Yeah, I remember you.
Lotta people have questions about Mr. Stack these days.
Not sure how I can help you.
This depends who's doing the asking.
Ray McDeere,
I sometimes go by Andrew Jackson.
Sorry...
In this neighbourhood, we deal mostly with higher-class people.
Mr. Franklin, for example.
I'm interested in the comings and goings
of a particular friend...
- A lady friend. - Alex Clark.
You know her?
Ordered her cabs on more than one occasion.
Most people want to know about the murders.
Why the interest in Miss Clark?
Would you happen to have a record of her visits?
I got better than that. Way better.
How many of those you got?
That depends.
Wait here.
Mitch McDeere?
Obviously my assistant must have stepped out.
Can I help you?
My name is Marcus Montaine.
Ah, Mr. Montaine.
I have a hearing in a few minutes.
Do you mind calling back and making an appointment?
This won't take too long. I'll get right to the point.
It's my employer's understanding
that your client, Jenny Lafleur lacks the funds
to adequately compensate you for your services.
That's between Miss Lafleur and myself.
We mean no disrespect.
On the contrary, it's my employer's wish to be of...
some assistance.
Obviously your employer has an inflated sense of my going rate.
This is in consideration of your time and other services.
By advising my client to keep her mouth shut?
To exercise discretion, certainly.
You can tell your employer no thank you.
My services are not for sale.
[sigh]
When I said Miss Lafleur should exercise discretion,
I left out she should also use caution.
You too.
I don't respond to threats, Mr. Montaine.
You can show yourself out.
This is very simple, Your Honour.
The hospital only learned of the drugs in my client's system
because she needed treatment.
The hospital had no right
to notify the police of what they found.
Doctor-patient confidentiality is not absolute, Your Honour.
Doctors treat medical conditions,
their role is not to inform on patients.
The Health Information Portability
and Accountability Act has been clear on that.
Not exactly.
HIPA protects information, not physical evidence.
We're not relying on something the defendant
told her doctor here.
We have the drugs themselves.
The term information has never been clearly defined in DC.
The courts have repeatedly said
that that term needs to be interpreted broadly.
That's not broad, it's absurd.
Your Honour, in the absence of case law that states otherwise,
it would be wrong to define information
to include physical evidence.
What would be wrong is eroding privacy.
This is a policy issue.
Patients need to be able to confide in their doctors
without also thinking that they are confessing to the police.
I've heard enough.
I'm going to reserve my decision until tomorrow morning.
Hey.
How bad you wanna bust Alex Clark?
Very bad. Why, you got something on her?
Take a seat, little brother.
Good doormen know everybody's secrets.
Great doormen record them.
That's security footage from the building.
When is the Kinross partners' meeting?
Tonight.
Wait 'til you get a load of this.
What exactly would I have to do?
You would make a deal with the US Attorney's office.
And that deal would require you
to tell them everything that you know about MX-9.
I don't know anything.
Well, you know who your father met with, right?
A man named Effram.
And if you saw him, you could identify him?
M-hmm.
And what about your contact in DC?
His name is Billy.
I saw a picture of him too.
I was waiting for him when I got arrested
Mr. McDeere, if I do this,
they're going to kill my whole family.
If you don't, and the judge deems the drugs admissible,
you will be going to prison.
You understand that?
Even for a first offence, it would be four years.
If you do make the deal,
the government will put you under protective custody.
Your family would be moved to the United States.
Now I'm not going to lie to you.
That is not going to be easy.
You will spend the rest of your life
looking over your shoulder.
Is that what you would do?
It's what I did.
Years ago, some dangerous men came after my family.
And we decided to go into the program.
It was the hardest decision I've ever made,
but I knew I had to make it.
[sigh]
[phone rings]
- Ray McDeere. - I need the ring back.
- You're funny. - I'm not joking.
What the hell are you talking about?
Turns out it didn't exactly belong to me.
You said it was legit -
That you hadn't had any complaints.
Right, but turns out the source who got it for me
wasn't entirely honest.
Turns out. That's not my problem.
Ray, listen to me...
The real owners don't have a sense of humour.
[chuckles]
If I don't get it back, it won't be good for me.
Understand?
Yeah. Yeah...
Yeah, it's fine.
Upon Miss Lafleur's commitment to full cooperation,
agents will escort her mother, her father, and her sister
to a city in the US.
What city?
We won't tell you that until you arrive.
Do I get a say in where we go?
My father -
Your father allowed his daughter to be a drug mule
to pay off his debts.
- He'll go where we send him. - Agent Elkin...
It'll be fine, Jenny.
The important thing is that you and your family will be safe.
For the next nine to twelve months,
you'll be Thomas and Alison Kirby.
Where will we live?
Do we get any say in where we go?
No, you'll be informed of that when you arrive on the ground.
Your brother Ray's gonna join you in a couple days
along with a Miss Tammy Hemphill.
She's coming with him?
She loves him.
She's giving up everything to stay with him.
You are to have no contact
with any other family or friends.
If anybody from your former life attempts to contact you,
you will inform the agent
that's been assigned to monitor your home.
Anything you're not clear about?
We need an answer in the morning.
Before the judge rules.
Anything you're not clear about?
Sweetheart, why don't you come and help Grandpa set the table.
Sure.
Claire is lovely.
I haven't seen him like that since you were a girl.
It's been 11 years, mother.
What do you want me to say about that, Abby?
Something.
Anything!
If you're angry, that's okay.
I have some anger of my own.
But I am here to try and talk to you.
- No. - No?
That's not why you're here.
I love you, Abby.
But you know that.
I've always loved you too much to stay silent
while you're fooling yourself.
I saw the news.
I know what happened with Noble Insurance.
The conspiracy, the murders, the torture.
And?
And you're running.
It has taken all these years,
but you finally ran home.
How is your marriage, Abby?
No, you listen to me.
I love my husband.
I came here because I needed some time away.
Not to hear you say I told you so.
You don't expect me to apologize for being right, do you?
I don't have to say I told you so, dear.
Your being here says it all.
Dad... Alex, honey.
Thanks for coming.
All right, let's get started.
You all know why you're here.
This firm is losing clients by the truckload.
This Noble thing is just killing us.
We're reaching out to everyone.
People need to know that this was an isolated incident
involving only a few rogue partners.
Rogue partners who all put you in the middle of this, Alex.
Now, Nicholas, let's not go down that road again.
No charges were filed, so let's move on,
unless someone has real evidence to consider.
I'm sorry I'm late.
Actually this is a meeting for senior partners.
I invited him.
Please, Mitch, have a seat.
Yes, we were talking about evidence.
Now you're one of the people who say
that Alex was working with Kevin Stack.
I'd like to hear more about that.
That's enough, Nick.
I told you my daughter said she wasn't involved
and that's good enough for me.
Involved - it's interesting you would choose
- to use that word, Mr. Clark. - Meaning?
I always knew that Alex was working with Kevin Stack.
What I didn't know was how closely.
That's ridiculous.
I knew him, but only professionally.
Well, let's look at the evidence.
[quiet murmuring]
This is Kevin Stack's apartment building.
Oh, please.
I was probably there one time.
This elevator leads directly into Mr. Stack's apartment.
We had a business meeting. Turn that off.
[murmuring]
It's not criminal to be involved with a client.
It's certainly against firm policy.
- Alexandra... - Dad...
Your father built this firm.
Stack's conspiracy would have destroyed it.
You helped him cover it up.
Sorry, Alex.
Afraid this ends your run as our managing partner.
You can't do that.
This isn't your firm anymore, Nick.
It's mine. I run this place.
Dad, tell him.
Alexandra...
That Clark refers to me, not you.
You two have been gone a long time.
Most of the major clients of this firm are mine.
If I'm out, you won't survive.
Well, we'll take our chances.
[door buzzes]
If I sign this, my family will be safe?
Yes.
- But don't do it. - What?
It's not over.
There hasn't been a ruling.
The judge could still decide to supress the drugs.
But they said the offer's only good
until he makes his decision.
- What if we lose? - Well, we could risk it.
Ten years ago, my wife and I, we went into the program.
We didn't want to,
but my wife was pregnant, and I decided to protect my family.
Now, I can't take that back.
My whole life, everything has been a reaction to that choice.
The running, the hiding.
I don't think it was worth it.
I think it might have even destroyed us.
You want to stay out of prison,
but signing this is its own kind of prison.
Over time, the resentment, the blame...
Your family won't ever be the same.
What are you saying?
I'm saying that if I could, I would take that back.
I would choose not to go.
I would risk four years in jail
as opposed to running for the rest of my life.
I advised against it.
I didn't think the deal was in her best interest.
Says a man who never spent a day behind bars.
You're exposing your client to prison time
and you're letting a drug syndicate avoid prosecution.
Are you questioning my legal judgment?
I'm questioning whether you're even making one.
This isn't about our family.
This is about getting a young girl a good deal, a good offer.
We took the same deal and look where we are.
I think she can win, and I'm going for it.
While I cannot condone the actions of a drug courier,
neither can I condone an action against her
based on a breach of confidentiality.
Justifying that breach
as a leak of physical evidence, not information,
seems like unfair word play.
If the legislature intended
to exclude physical evidence from the rule,
it should have said so clearly.
Miss Lafleur, I strongly recommend that you re-evaluate
the judgments that have led you to appear before me.
But the evidence against you
is hearby deemed inadmissible.
Prosecution's case is therefore dismissed.
Thank you.
I forgot my book.
Tammy...
Hey, I gotta tell you something.
Okay, I have to tell you something too.
You go first.
The ring, I need it back.
Why?
The guy who sold it to me didn't give me the full picture.
If I don't get it back,
he's gonna get various extremities bent
which he deserves, but...
[chuckles]
What?
Oh, dear.
Okay, well, you know I found the divorce papers.
I finally opened them up
and Elvis never signed the damn things.
What are you saying, you're still married?
Sort of!
So this whole time we've been cheating?
That's kind of... hot.
Oh shut up.
So I have to go to Tennessee and get a real divorce.
Which makes this ring a little premature.
You get a do-over.
And you better make it legit next time.
Next time you divorce that guy, it better be legit.
Until then...
Until then, what?
[sigh] I can't believe we won that.
It could have gone either way.
There is a van outside,
and you are supposed to be in it
to take you to some unknown city.
It'll be nice to watch it drive away
without you in it.
I can't go home.
My dad still owes a lot of money.
I don't know what's going to happen to him.
And I never delivered the drugs.
Maybe we can change that.
Mr. McDeere, nice work.
My client did not cooperate with the government.
So I see.
My client appreciates your assistance.
Then I think that briefcase belongs to me.
I think you're right.
Of course, if you take it...
We may be asking for your counsel at a future date.
You know who we are.
Don't forget.
Because we will definitely remember you.
So that's mine?
All yours.
Then I give it back to you
in full payment of my client's debt
and the debt still owed by her father.
- You're not serious. - I am.
And you keep your hands off her. Nobody touches her.
I just need you to confirm that.
They're good.
You have my word.
Nice doing business with you, counsel.
Hi.
Hi, I'm Abby McDeere.
My mother, Maxine, is a patient of Dr. Wilson's.
[phone vibrating] Excuse me.
How can I help you today?
I just need a prescription refilled.
Hi, it's Abby. Please leave a message.
[beep]
Hey, it's me.
[sigh] I'm just trying to find you.
I spoke to Claire and she said you'd gone to the gym.
So, uh...
I love you and I miss you.
