Drop Dead Diva (2009–2014): Season 5, Episode 5 - Secret Lives - full transcript

See that aspiring model there?

That's me... Deb...
until the day I died.

I thought I'd go straight to heaven,

but there was a bit of a mix-up,

and I woke up in someone else's body.

[ Screams ]

So now I'm Jane,

a super-busy lawyer
with my very own assistant.

I got a new life, a new wardrobe,

and the only people who really
know what's going on with me

are my girlfriend Stacy
and my guardian angel, Paul.



I used to think everything
happened for a reason.

- Whoo! [ Laughs ]
- Now, I sure hope I was right.

Original air date July 21, 2013

[ Birds chirping ]

Mm.

Hey, Stace.

[ Chirping continues ]

Oh, my God,
what is with the bird sanctuary?

The birds are on my pregnancy app.

And the chirping means I'm ovulating.

Yay.

Okay, so, I need your help
to pick a sperm donor.

Okay.



Father in a cup?

So, I'm debating
between dark and handsome

or blond and handsome.

Okay, you know
there's more to picking a donor

than just good looks, right?

Mm-hmm. Well, there's also
the issue of height.

"I mean, anyone under 5'8"...
off the list.

Okay. Yeah.

All right, you know what?

Why don't you come to my office
this afternoon?

We will grab lattes, and we'll
go through the options.

- Great.
- Okay. Good.

Now, I need a closer outfit.

Owen chose me to help sign
a potential new client...

the Los Angeles Guardians baseball team.

This is a huge step in
our professional relationship.

And if you can impress him at work,

you think he'll forgive you
for kissing Grayson

and take you back?

Ooh, okay. So... oh!

Wear that red blouse
with your black suit.

It projects power and style.

[ Gasps ] Home run.

Don't worry, Owen. We got this.

I know you don't think of me
as a sports type,

but I did my baseball research.

Infield fly rule?

Totally based on English common law.

- Mm.
- Thank you for selecting me.

And I just... I really appreciate...

Mr. French!

Oh, Mr. Rhodes.

- How are you?
- Good.

This is my colleague Jane Bingum.

- Hi.
- Hi.

And this is
the co-owner of the Guardians...

my wife, Tamra.

- Ooh.
- Love your outfit.

- Well, thank you very much.
- But are you being ironic?

Uh, what do you mean?

Red and black... the arrows.

Our rival team.

- Oh!
- Oh!

[ Laughs ]
No.

- Never mind. Come on in.
- All right.

Okay. Sorry.

Hey. Be honest.

Am I only here because
you wanted to impress

a female owner with a female lawyer?

Yes, so, please, try to be impressive.

Mr. French, we're seeing
a lot of bigger firms.

Tell us why we should consider
Harrison & Parker,

especially with Jay Parker's departure.

While Parker's leave of absence...

he left the firm in good hands.

As you'll see, we have a 92% win rate

against the bigger firms.

And not to mention, when it
comes to employment contracts...

I took the liberty of reviewing
your players' contracts.

You're losing out
on valuable revenue streams

because you're using
forms drafted 20 years ago.

They didn't account for
social-media activity

or independent online merchandising.

W-w-we live in the Twitter-face...

oh!

I've been using coconut oil,
you know, as a moisturizer,

and it just slipped.

[ Both chuckle ]

It was a babe Ruth.

Now, it's just a babe.

Fortunately, it's insured.

Anything that is not covered,
don't hesitate to bill us.

Oh, God.

I'm afraid we're going to
have to re-schedule.

Of course.

Please excuse us.

Sure. Yeah. No problem.

You know, yeah.

We'll have our office
call your assistant

and set up a new time and...

okay.

What?

Owen, will you please say something?

Who picks up a Babe Ruth baseball

in the middle of a meeting?

Well, you were doing
all the talking, so...

Oh, so it's my fault now?

No. [ Sighs ]

I'm just...

I'm sorry.

[ Sighs ]

Let's just go back to the office
and forget the whole thing.

Okay. Owen, you know what? You go ahead.

I forgot my phone.

I'll meet you back at the office.

All right.

[ Telephone rings ]

Jane Bingum's office.

Who is Scott Reynolds?

The Guardians' rookie shortstop.

Rock-hard abs.

He's being hailed
as the next Derek Jeter.

Why do you care?

He was arrested for murder.

I'm gonna go down to the station
and see if he needs a lawyer.

And I'll pose as a man

and sneak into the locker room
and gather evidence.

You know, if I put my hair up
and tape my boobs down,

I can pass.

Okay, listen, Yentl, this is serious.

Oh, and tell Stacy I have to
reschedule our afternoon lattes.

Congratulations, Molly.

You are now the proud owner

of your very own
physical-therapy center.

I can't believe
this is finally happening.

Normally I'd take you out
for a drink to celebrate,

but my boozing days are kind of on hold.

Rain check.

Hey, where's Parker?
I'd like to say congrats.

Actually, Parker is
back together with his ex.

Oh.

Yeah.

Well, better to find out now.

Believe me, if I weren't
still paying alimony

to my bum ex-husband,

I would've started this business
a year ago.

I can't believe you're still paying him.

Did he ever get a job?

Oh, yeah. Three days... barista.

And then he quit to write his novel.

That's outrageous.

I know. He can barely spell.

[ Chuckles ]

Listen, if you want, I can
subpoena George's tax records,

see if he's hiding any income,

anything that might reduce
your alimony payments.

No, thanks. I appreciate the thought,

but I just want to put
all this behind me and move on.

Just thinking about George
gives me a migraine.

Trust me, I know the feeling.

[ Door slams ]

I don't understand.

Did the team send you, Ms. Bingum?

Oh, no.

Your team doesn't represent
players in criminal matters.

How would you know that?

My law firm is trying
to secure their business.

Now, I have reviewed
all of the players' contracts,

including yours.

Mr. Reynolds, everything
you tell me is confidential.

My girlfriend, Lisa.

She was found in her apartment.

Strangled.

I'm sorry.

Last night,
I went to her place for dinner.

We hung out until 10:00 or so,
and then I headed home,

'cause I had to be up early
for practice.

This morning, the cops asked me
to identify her body,

and then they arrested me.

They read me my rights and...

Ms. Bingum, I don't understand
why they think I did it.

I would never hurt Lisa.

In all honesty, I came here
to convince you to hire me

because I think my legal skills
will impress your team owners.

[ Scoffs ]

But let me be very, very clear.

If I represent you,
you are my only priority.

Here's my card.

Call me if you want help.

Two sugars, right?

You won't bring coffee to Kim,
but you'll bring it to me?

My boss isn't exactly friendly.

I'm hoping you are.

Last week,
you made me blueberry muffins.

I made them for myself.

I had extra.

And you were being nice.

Is that a problem?

It's just, when
the opposite sex is being nice,

it usually means they have feelings.

Okay. Slow down. I...

I was being nice to you
because I feel sorry for you.

Come again?

I look directly into
your office all day long.

No offense, but I am
not interested in broken men.

I just try to be nice.

- Jane.
- Yeah?

Where have you been?

- Oh, I...
- The meeting was over hours ago.

Look, you can't just take off
in the middle of the day.

No wonder the place is in trouble.

Owen, just take a breath.

Don't... don't look at me
with those eyes.

You know it throws me off.

My eyes throw you off?

- That's not the point.
- Okay, okay, fine.

If you don't want to see my eyes,

I'll... I'll turn away.

Oh, just one question...
are you done reprimanding me?

- Yes, Jane.
- Great.

After our meeting, I went back
to the conference room.

To get your phone.

No, I wanted to see
what was on that post-it.

- You looked through the trash?
- All right.

Anyway, Scott Reynolds
was arrested for murder.

- Whoa. That's huge.
- I know.

Every lawyer in town is
gonna want to represent him.

We need to get down to the precinct.

We need to see if we can set...
what are you doing?

Just trying to quiet you with my eyes.

See, I already met with Scott.

And he just called
and asked me to represent him.

I got to get to work.

Jane.

Jane.

[ Coughing ]
Jane!

- Yeah?
- Hey.

- Hi.
- You ready for this?

It's an arraignment.

I've done one before.

You see who's sitting in the second row?

Franklin and Tamra.

Oh, good. I do well with an audience.

All rise.

All right, let's get started.

Your Honor, the people seek
a preliminary hearing

to determine whether there is
sufficient probable cause.

Whoa! A hearing?

I-I had no notice.

It is the prosecution's right
to decide how to proceed.

I haven't received discovery,
Your Honor.

Not a problem.

Excellent.

I love it when
the wheels of justice spin.

Great. I'm gonna need a week
to prepare this.

Ms. Bingum, this hearing
is to determine probable cause.

I'll give you a long lunch.

[ Bangs gavel ]
I...

hey, peroxide Patty, are you lost?

I'm here to see Jane.

We're meeting for lattes.

No, you're not.

I was supposed to call you. Oops.

Jane had to reschedule.

What are those photos?

Are you casting a movie?

'Cause I am really good
on the casting couch.

If you must know,
I'm trying to get pregnant,

and I'm looking for a sperm donor.

[ Gasps ]

You have come to the right person.

You know, I am a sperm aficionado.

I helped my cousin Su-Min Ho
pick her donor,

and now I have the most amazing
Korean-Brazilian second cousin,

Jung-Hee Ho.

Congratulations.

Don't you worry.

I'm gonna help you
find your very own Ho.

A woman brutally strangled,
murdered in a jealous rage.

And who had cause to be jealous?

The man sitting right there.

Objection.

This isn't "dateline."

Can we see some evidence, please?

Sustained.

People's exhibit 5...

a text message from Lisa Dunfee,
the victim,

to Mr. Randy Brett,

the Guardians' former third baseman.

And it reads, "in two hours",

"I'll be free and all yours, baby."

"Can't wait to be with you."

This message was sent
hours before Lisa was murdered.

We contend that Lisa told the defendant

that she was leaving him
for Mr. Brett, and he snapped.

Move to strike.

Mr. Brett hasn't testified.

For all we know,
Mr. Brett could be the killer.

Mr. Brett was traded to Seattle
last week

and was on a national-televised game

when the crime was committed.

At this point, I'd like to call

our forensics expert to the stand.

We found thumb-shaped
contusions on the victim's neck,

consistent with strangulation.

And did you examine
the defendant's hands?

Yes.

He had compromised movement
in his right thumb,

suggesting a sprain.

An injury he could have sustained

- from strangling the victim?
- Yes.

No further questions.

Are the injuries on my client's hand

consistent with a condition
known as throttle thumb,

which is common to motorcycle riders?

Yes.

And are you aware
that my client owns and rides

a 2013 Ducati?

Uh, no, I did not.

So the thumb sprain

could have nothing to do with
the allegation?

Yes, that's, uh, that's true.

Yeah.

Parker, I'm not your charity case.

No, I already mailed you
your check back.

And I told you stop calling me
unless it's business-related.

No, I don't want to
talk about... I have to go.

Wow.

You're turning down
financial help from your ex?

Our lives could not be more different.

Parker wanted out.

He doesn't get to be the good guy.

So, Kim, why are we here?

I thought I told you not to
subpoena George's tax records.

Please don't be mad.
But I thought it couldn't hurt.

And sure enough, he reported
income of 100 grand last year.

You're kidding me.

So we can drop it if you want,

or we can go inside
and hear his explanation.

I hit the jackpot.

I'm sorry. What?

I won the money
at the palm desert casino,

a few weeks after the divorce.

I hit triple sevens
on a high-end slot machine.

Well, that $100,000
constitutes earnings,

and my client's alimony
should be reduced accordingly.

Objection.

Under the holding in Schulze,
the court ruled

a one-time profit
does not constitute income.

That's correct.

Your Honor, this man,

he promised my client a life together.

I mean, she believed in him.

She loved him.

[ Voice breaking ]
She saw a future with him,

and now he's in Canada,
and I'm on my own.

Ms. Kaswell, are... are you okay?

No.
[ Chuckles ]

No, Your Honor.

I'm pregnant, and my breasts are sore,

I'm rapidly developing cankles,

and I have a constant craving
for funyuns.

But I digress.
We're not talking about me.

That man hid money from a woman
who is still paying his rent,

a woman that he pledged to
love for the rest of his life,

so help him God.

And I don't give a crap about Schulze.

This court should address his behavior.

I feel for your client...
and for your cankles...

but your motion is denied.

[ Gavel bangs ]

I'm so sorry, Molly.

Kim, like I said, I'm... I'm fine.

But you know if you ever
want to talk, I'm here, right?

Yeah.
[ Sighs ]

Thank you.

Excuse me one second.

Hey. What's up?

While I was looking for
additional information

to support the undisclosed income,

I found something.

The judge just ruled against us.

Well, I think
this might change her mind.

Detective Davis, what are we looking at?

This footage was recovered
from a bank security camera

across from Mr. Reynolds' condo complex.

Can you identify
the man getting into his car

at 7:31 P.M. on the night of the murder?

Yes. That's Mr. Reynolds.

And when did he return?

Not until the following morning...

at 6:28 A.M.

I'd like to submit people's exhibit 6...

cell tower location data.

At 10:28 P.M., the approximate
time of the murder,

Scott Reynolds accessed his voice-mail.

Where was he at the time?

We triangulated his position

to determine he was in
the victim's apartment complex.

Nothing further.

We'll recess until tomorrow morning.

What's going on, Scott?

I'm innocent.

I swear to you, I'm innocent.

Jane, nobody's blaming you
for the setback.

Well, I'm sure Franklin
and Tamra weren't impressed.

No, they weren't.

It's obvious the A.D.A.
sped up the hearing

so they could blind-side you
with an avalanche of evidence.

After we recessed,
I tried talking to Scott.

He just keeps repeating
that he's innocent,

like if he says it enough times,
it'll be true.

Well, probably time
to start thinking about a plea.

Yeah, that's why I'm combing
through the evidence.

I got to find something
to hang this plea on,

otherwise our client
is looking at the death penalty.

Ms. Kaswell, I agreed to this meeting

because I'm sympathetic to your client,

but you're not going to change my mind.

What if I told you
that George won the jackpot

while he was still married to Molly?

That's crazy.

My office contacted the casino.

He won the jackpot in December of 2011,

when he was not yet divorced from Molly.

Mr. Randal, you're gonna be
in a lot more trouble

if you don't come clean now.

Yes. It's true.

You're a pig.

And that's an insult to pigs.

That money is community property.

Therefore,
I'm discontinuing your alimony

and awarding the winnings
to your client.

Yes!

We will expect payment immediately.

I don't have it.

Check my bank account.
I've got less than 1,000 bucks.

Even my attorney is working for beer.

How did you blow 100 grand?

A few epic trips to Cabo.

I'm sorry, Molly.

I'm just flat broke.

[ Scoffs ]

This is your guy.

Donor 18-21A. Mmm!

Graduated from Yale, plays the violin.

With his genes, your kids would
never need a calculus tutor.

I kind of like this Abercrombie Hunk.

Okay.

Well, he's an actor/model/
spinning instructor.

- Mmm.
- Um, yeah.

I think you'd be lucky

if your kids were able to read
by the age of 20.

Stacy, you're a really beautiful woman.

Thank you.

But you are gonna have to
compensate in other areas

to make for a perfect combo.

You know what I'm saying?

Yes. I don't have dimples.

I need a guy who does.

And look at his dimples.

Oh, but, Stacy, hold on to your uterus.

I just found you the perfect donor.

[ Gasps ]

He's gorgeous.

And brilliant.

He double-majored
in theology and engineering

at Stanford University.

Oh, my God, he's working on
his PHD at UCLA.

[ Gasps ]

Captain of the water polo team,
expert skier.

And his full lips work with
a girl or a boy.

Ah! Teri, he's perfect.

Wait. What is it?

Donor 17-85B is out of stock.

No, no.

They... they can't be out of stock.

I need 17-85B.

Don't worry. I think I have an idea.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Oh. But Jane needs me now.

But but...

trust me, I will take care of this.

[ Sighs ]

Hey, boss. What's up?

Are there any more photos
of the crime scene?

Well, it's a 500-square-foot apartment,

and these photos cover every inch of it.

Why?

Scott left his place with flowers.

I don't see flowers
anywhere in Lisa's apartment.

See, and the missing flowers
could provide

an alternate theory of the crime.

Maybe Scott was seeing a second woman

in the same complex?

[ Scoffs ]
Baseball players are total dogs...

Mm.

...which I find hot,
but I know is wrong.

A secret girlfriend could explain

why he was in the building
at the time of the murder.

Okay, would you get me a list of
all the tenants in the complex?

- I'm on it.
- Thanks.

Hey. You got a second?

Sure. What's up?

I hate to say this,
but I'm disappointed.

Grayson, I know.

The other night, it was so thoughtful,

but for obvious reasons...

stop. I'm not talking about us.

It's your case.

You solicited business
from an accused murderer

so you could impress his employer.

Hold on. It's not like that.

- No?
- He may not be guilty.

Owen said you're looking for
an alternate theory

to help with a plea.

Well, yeah, that's true, but...

you've never solicited business

from clients you don't believe in.

But you actively
sought this guy out. Why?

It's complicated.

With Parker gone, things have...

...have changed.

[ Scoffs ]

[ Sighs ]

- Grayson...
- And I'm an idiot.

You weren't trying to impress
your client's employer.

You were trying to impress yours.

[ Sighs ]

And about the other night,

as far as I'm concerned,
it never happened.

The I.R.S. just put a lien
on my new business.

What?

They're saying
I owe $40,000 in back taxes.

$40,000!

Um...

George never paid taxes
on his gambling winnings.

The casino made him fill out a tax form,

but they didn't withhold anything.

Oh, my God, Molly.

I got the winnings
declared as a marital asset,

and now the I.R.S. can go after you.

Yeah, and now I'm gonna lose my clinic

because of what you did.

I didn't know this would happen.

Kim, you're taking out your
unresolved issues on my case.

It's why you pulled George's
tax returns without my consent.

Maybe if you hadn't kept pushing,

I wouldn't be in this position.

Please, fix it.

[ Sighs ]

Jane, I got the list

of all the renters in
the victim's apartment complex.

And guess what.

Apartment 106 is being rented
by a CJ Pierce.

Okay, and that matters because...?

Because her lease is
being paid for by our client.

No way.

I don't know about you,

but I can't wait to meet
the other woman.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Clears throat ]

Are you stalking me?

[ Chuckles ]

You'd like to think that, wouldn't you?

I haven't seen you at my bar before.

When people start saying
"my bar," they have a problem.

We happen to be
a block away from the office,

and I needed a drink
because I have had a rough day.

Okay. What are you having?

Whatever's in there is fine.

[ Sighs ]

[ Clears throat ]

You know, you were right
about what you said.

Me being broken.

Truth is...

I have a couple cracks myself.

S...

so you know, you are not my type.

Understood.

Good.

I'm glad we're on the same page.

[ Rapid knocking on door ]

Come on, CJ.

Answer the door.

All right, she's not home.
Let's just go.

[ Elevator bell dings ]
Do you want to go to Hooters?

I hear they have
a delicious chopped salad.

Mm. No, I should probably
get home to Stacy.

Oh, I think we found the perfect donor.

There's just one glitch
I have to take care of.

Thank you, Teri, for doing that.

Oh.

Um, sir?

Uh, excuse me.

Hi. We're looking for a CJ Pierce.

I'm CJ. Who are you?

[ Gasps ]

Wait. You're CJ?

Um...

Sorry. Never mind.

You've been very helpful and very cute.

Oh, my God, I can't believe
the other woman is a dude.

Scott Reynolds is gay.

It's true.

Cj's my boyfriend.

That's why I was in the building.

I never even saw Lisa that night.

This is great news.

He's your alibi.

No, you can't tell anyone.

Scott, if you come out,

we can get the D.A. to drop the charges.

Jane, no professional baseball player

has ever come out while still active.

By law, the owners cannot fire
you based on sexual orientation.

But they can bury my career.

Look, I know other athletes
have come out,

but that's not me.

I shouldn't have to give up my privacy

to prove I'm innocent.

Okay, right now,
this is your only defense.

Then you're not as good
a lawyer as you say you are.

What's the real deal with you and Lisa?

About seven months ago,
Franklin Rhodes, the team owner,

introduced us at a team event.

We became fast friends,
and I told her the truth.

She was cool, even offered
to be my fake girlfriend

to make my life easier.

And CJ's apartment?

I moved him into her complex

so we could spend nights together

without raising suspicion.

Scott, I know what it's like
to have secrets.

And while secrets lead to more problems,

I respect your decision.

I won't let you down.

Oh, let me get out of your...

No, you're fine.

I mean, I-I have plenty of room.

Yeah. Um, so, uh... about last night.

- I normally...
- I'm not looking to date.

- Nicole?
- Yes?

See ya.

Did you pull
the archived divorce records

on Molly and George?

- On your desk.
- Great.

Now we need all of George's
credit-card and bank statements,

including canceled checks,
since the divorce.

Tell his lawyer that
if I don't have them by noon,

I'll drag his ass back into chambers.

Got it. Uh, what are we looking for?

Well, George claims to have
spent the entire 100 grand,

but since we already know
he's a scumbag liar,

I want to account for every dollar.

Okay.

Thanks.

[ Sighs ]

Scott is innocent, and I can prove it.

But I can't.

Are we talking in riddles?

In order to free Scott,
I need to present evidence

that he insists on keeping confidential.

That evidence is?

Confidential.

I would never violate attorney-
client privilege... ever.

Scott Reynolds is gay,
and his boyfriend is his alibi.

Okay. I didn't see that coming.

And he's afraid if he comes out,

it'll destroy his career.

Here's what you do.

You ask for an in-camera meeting.

You tell the clerk that you know
your client is innocent,

and you're happy to tell the judge why,

but only... only...
if the record is sealed.

And when the clerk asks
my basis for sealing the record?

You say that information
could have ramifications

on your client's livelihood
and possibly his safety.

Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

I got your text. What's the emergency?

[ Gasps ]

You found 17-85B.

I googled everything
that we know about him,

and I got a name,

and then I cross-checked him
on Foursquare

and found him here.

[ Sighs ]
He's even more perfect in person.

Hello?

- You have beautiful skin.
- And a really sexy I.Q.

17-85B, of all of the profiles,
only your sperm spoke to my egg.

Will you please be my donor?

This is a total invasion of my privacy.

No. Breaking into your house
while you're showering

is a total invasion of your privacy.

Nobody's supposed to know that I donate.

It's just for extra money.

Well, blondie here is prepared

to make you an offer you can't refuse.

Mm-hmm.

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Cellphone beeps ]

I'm listening.

I've agreed to conditionally
seal the record of this meeting,

provided Ms. Bingum
can support her application.

And I will renew my objection.

I asked for the record
to be sealed because...

Because Scott wasn't dating the victim.

They were just friends.

Scott Reynolds is gay.

Give me a break.

I've got a hundred people
that can put them together.

That's kind of what we were going for.

Lisa was helping him maintain
his reputation on the team.

And Scott's boyfriend, CJ,
lives in Lisa's building.

I have copies of financial
documents linking CJ and Scott.

I also have an affidavit from CJ

saying that they were together
the night of the murder.

Now, this explains
both the triangulated cell call

and why Scott's flowers
were not at the crime scene.

This seems pretty sound.

Given the evidence,
I move to dismiss all charges.

I'm gonna need time
to verify that information.

I will release Mr. Reynolds,
pending your investigation.

And given the sensitive nature
of what we have just shared...

no one will say a word.

The record is sealed.

Best of luck to you, young man.

If you don't need anything else,

I'm gonna go grab lunch.

Where are the canceled checks
from George's account?

He didn't have a checking account.

Of course he did.

He cashed a $100 check at the casino.

George didn't have his own account,

and he and Molly
didn't have a joint one.

My guess,
she didn't trust him with money.

Mm. He used Molly's check at the casino.

Well, that shouldn't matter.
At the time, they were married.

Trust me, it matters.

[ Knock on door ]

Hey.

Hi.

If you're still talking to me,
I owe you an apology.

No, you had every right
to be disappointed.

You know, I always want to be
on the side of justice.

But I guess this time I wanted
to be on the side of Owen.

It just hasn't been easy around here.

Jane.

Oh, Scott. Yes, come in.

Mr. Reynolds, hi. Nice to meet you.

I'm a big fan.

You're gonna have a great season.

Thanks.

[ Chuckles ]

Hey.

The Guardians released me.

What?! No, they cannot fire you.

A messenger just delivered
this letter of termination.

Jane, you said this wouldn't happen.

Now everything I worked for is over.

Would you excuse me for just a minute?

How dare you?

How dare I what?

I trusted you, Owen.

You betrayed me.

You outed my client.

The initials at the bottom of the page?

"Hp: Of"... Harrison & Parker,
Owen French.

So, you're working for the Guardians.

Yes, I am, but I would never
violate confidentiality.

Oh, really?

Okay, well, then how did
the owners find out about Scott?

Obviously, they fired him
because he's gay.

No, it's not like that.

His contract's hazardous-activity clause

prohibits him from riding a motorcycle.

As we found out during the arraignment,

he violated that clause.

In fact,
it was right after his admission

that Franklin asked me
to draw up this letter.

Why didn't you tell me
you were representing them?

Chinese wall.

You represent Scott
in his criminal case,

I represent the Guardians
in selected civil matters.

Terminating Scott is a civil case.

It makes us adverse.

Oh, yeah, we're adverse, all right.

I'm seeking an emergency hearing,

and I'm gonna fight that termination.

I figured you might.

See you in court.

Do you really think

that the owners found out
that Scott is gay?

Well, I don't buy that

they'd fire him
over riding a motorcycle.

And my guess is that
that hazardous-activity clause

isn't regularly enforced.

Let's look at Facebook.

That's where guys usually brag about

their dumb, dangerous adventures.

[ Chuckles ]

Okay, Travis Nesbit, first baseman.

Oh, here is a photo of Travis
cliff-diving in Hawaii.

See? My hunch was right.

That motorcycle was just a pretext.

All right. Here's the problem.

Owen said that Franklin
wanted to fire Scott

after the arraignment,

but that's before
any of us knew he was gay.

So we need to prove
that Franklin found out

about Scott's sexuality
prior to this termination.

I'll be right back.

Okay.

My client's ex-husband had
no authority to use her check.

But for the casino's negligence,

George never would have had
the money to win the jackpot,

which directly led

to my client's problems with the I.R.S.

As general counsel of the casino,

I can assure you my client
had no obligation

to confirm Mr. Randal's authority

to sign on your client's account.

But now that we know he's defrauded us,

his winnings are void.

What?

Under California gaming statutes,

any fraud perpetrated by a player

voids all subsequent winnings.

You just said he had
no authority to sign that check,

so under joint and several liability,

your client must return
all his winnings to the casino.

You're coming after my client?

That's correct.

Wait. Wait.

No, no, no.

Look. Uh...

We can just forget about
this whole meeting.

We'll be filing suit
for the full $200,000.

George only won $100,000.

He only cashed in $100,000
from his player's bank account.

But the actual winnings were $200,000.

So we'll be putting a lien
on George's player's account.

We'll be going after your client
for the balance.

[ Chuckles ]

Why are you smiling, Ms. Kaswell?

Well, this document says

that in order to get
a player's club bank account,

the player must consent
to a credit check.

That's correct.

So, if the casino had done
a credit check on George,

they would've learned that
George isn't on Molly's account,

which means that
your company either, "a,"

didn't read the report,
which is gross negligence,

or, "b," they did read it,

which would make them guilty of
fraud in accepting a bad check.

I'm sure we can work something out.

[ Chuckles ]

You know how you asked me to look into

all the tenants
at the apartment complex?

Yeah?

Well, I noticed that
Lisa's rent was being paid for

by a Genco Corporation.

And at the time, it wasn't important.

But now?

Well, Genco is Franklin Rhodes'
holding company.

Why would the owner of the team
be paying her rent?

Maybe Lisa wasn't
Scott's benevolent beard.

And maybe Franklin knew the truth

and was paying Lisa to pretend
to be Scott's girlfriend

to keep the next Derek Jeter
in the closet.

How long has Genco been paying her rent?

About seven months.

That is just when
Scott and Lisa started dating.

But Lisa's been living there
for two years.

And you'll never guess
who paid the rent before Genco.

My husband paid her rent,
but that's ancient history.

Oh, you knew about
your husband's affair with Lisa?

Oh, yes.

Believe it or not,
I found a canceled rent check.

I threatened to leave him,
and he ended it with her.

This was seven months ago?

Yes, right around the time
Lisa started dating Scott.

I don't understand what this is about.

I am so sorry to ll you this,
but seven months ago,

your husband did not break up with Lisa.

In fact, he continued to pay her rent

using funds from Genco
instead of his personal account.

And what about Scott?

You think she was dating both men?

Oh, Ms. Rhodes...

I have my client's permission
to tell you this...

Scott is gay.

[ Scoffs ] I had no idea.

We believe
Franklin learned Scott was gay,

and he and Lisa
came up with an arrangement

to hide their affair

and still protect
the team's investment in Scott.

Of course, everything changed
with Scott's arrest.

So you think Franklin got worried

that Scott would come out
in order to defend himself?

Which is why he used
the pretext of the motorcycle

to fire him.

Oh, God.

Do you know where Franklin was
when Lisa was killed?

He wasn't with me.

- Kim.
- Molly...

before you say anything,
I owe you an apology.

I was really out of line.

Oh, please,
everything you said was true.

I'm the one who should apologize.

So I hope this check

from the palm desert casino
will suffice.

$100,000?

Yeah. Apparently, your ex won 200 grand

but kept a hundred of it
in his casino account,

which is why
we never saw the full amount

on his tax returns.

Unbelievable.

So I convinced the casino
to pay George's tax bill,

which means this check is all yours.

- Seriously?
- Mm.

[ Chuckles ]

You're like wonder woman,
only with a baby bump.

[ Laughs ]
Thank you so much.

- You're welcome.
- Thank you.

One hour ago, Franklin Rhodes,
the owner of the Guardians,

was charged with
the murder of Lisa Dunfee.

My office believes that

there is sufficient evidence
for a conviction.

Scott Reynolds has been exonerated

and would like to make a statement.

I want to thank my lawyer
for standing by me

and for helping the authorities
solve this awful crime.

And I also want to thank her

for giving me the courage
to tell the truth.

I'm gay.

And while I believe
it's irrelevant to my career,

I realize I stand in uncharted waters.

While my future is uncertain, I...

Mr. Reynolds.

To the contrary,
your future is quite certain.

At least for the next three years.

Your lawyer just negotiated
a very lucrative new deal.

We just need a signature.

[ Chuckles ]

It's a new era in baseball,

and the Guardians couldn't be
more proud.

You're amazing, Jane.

[ Chuckles ]

Leave it open.

And two more, please.

Nothing's gonna happen.

Not a chance.

I just want company.

No one likes to be lonely.

Just two colleagues sharing a drink.

I'm glad we're on the same page.

Hi!

Okay, Stace, I'm sorry
I have not been around,

but Teri said that you found a donor,

and I want to hear all about him.

Well, I changed my mind.

Not about the baby... about the donor.

Oh. But I heard he was perfect.

He was hot, he was a smarty-pants,

and he agreed to do it, but...

But what?

While we were talking to 17-85B,

he declined a call from his mother.

His own mother!

Can you believe that?

As if I want to have a baby

that's genetically programmed
to decline my calls.

Yeah. I mean, I don't think
it works like that,

but I totally get your point.

Jane, I don't want
a stranger as the donor.

I want to know
my baby's biological father.

[ Sighs ]

I guess this egg won't be the one.

Well, you know, I'm sorry for the egg,

but I'm happy for you.

Thank you.

You know what you want,
and that's great.

[ Sighs ]

So, now, I am going to
get in the bathtub

with a glass of wine
and a list of my contacts.

There's got to be a good
candidate somewhere in my past.

[ Both laugh ]

[ Sighs ]
[ Knock on door ]

- Oh. Hey.
- Hey.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Uh, is everything okay?

Yeah... no. No. Yeah. Everything's fine.

I-I just... I came by
to tell you that Tamra Rhodes

is gonna be giving the firm
a lot of business, and...

...you're the one who made it happen.

Well, you're welcome.

[ Laughs ]

And, Jane...

I'm sorry.

I've been acting like a total jerk,

and taking out my...
you know, my personal feelings

in a professional setting is wrong.

I'm really sorry.
Can... can you... forgive me?

Yes. Of course I can forgive you.

[ Chuckles ]
Okay.

I miss that smile.

Have a... have a good night, Jane.
