Goliath (2016–…): Season 3, Episode 5 - Argus 2: Battledome - full transcript
As Billy and Patty make their first appearance in court, their class action is threatened when they walk into traps set for them by the Blackwoods.
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Yeah!
Cut! Cut! Cut!
How's your back?
- You hit the ground hard.
- I'm fine.
- Steph, that was amazing.
- It was okay? You got it?
- Y-You okay?
- Good. I'm good.
- You got another one in you?
- Totally!
- I'm kidding. It was fantastic.
- Okay.
- Thank you. It was great.
- All right. Thank you.
That was amazing!
Check it. Let's go.
- Moving on!
- Let's go back to holding.
So good.
Wow.
I got to admit
my heart was pounding
just watching you
jump off that bike.
- Why do you do that every day?
- It's my job.
Everybody's got
to make a living, I guess.
- There's no way I could do that.
- No.
Hey, Steph, uh, I wanted you
to know that there is a box
waiting for you
over at Roy's house.
It's like
knickknacks, keepsakes,
you know, things like that,
things you might want.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
And...
Did Roy ever talk to you
about his estate?
No.
Huh? Okay.
You're sure to be getting a call
from his executor,
but, uh, I'm just
gonna tell you...
Roy willed everything to you.
All the land, house...
it's all yours.
I don't understand.
Well... you were
important to Roy.
You and your mother.
It, uh...
I'm interested to know if...
you'd want to be
keeping that land.
'Cause if you do want to sell...
I hope you consider
selling it to me.
Because I'll give you
what it's gonna be worth
ten years from now.
That land was Roy's
heart and soul,
and I just... I'd be sad if...
I saw it go to somebody
that, uh,
didn't know that.
Or care about it the way
that we do.
- Yeah.
- Give it some thought.
All right? 'Cause...
those, uh, vultures,
they're gonna be circling soon.
That was great
watching you out there.
Go get some bad guys
for me, okay?
See you.
Ooh, that was fast!
Oh, come on in.
Room service is here!
Okay, how about just right,
um, right here.
Okay. Um... Billy?
I'm grabbing $20,
but, uh, I'll pay you back.
I'm keeping track. Okay.
Okay, here, um...
Jordan, thank you. Yes.
Okay. Nice.
Oh, look at this. Okay.
Oh. Look.
I've got eggs and bacon
and muffins and waffles for me,
and toast...
That's great, but you know what?
I don't really eat in the
morning, so knock yourself out.
Oh, oh, no, you have to put
something in your stomach.
No, no, I'll just
have some coffee.
- I'll be fine.
- No, at least have some juice.
Oh, for God's sake.
Okay, drink up.
- Come on. Take a big...
- All right, then. There we go.
No, no, one more sip.
One more...
- I don't even fucking like juice.
- One more sip.
- Thank you.
- Mm.
- Okay.
- Okay, great.
Hey. Mm.
- When we were here before...
- Mm-hmm?
I think we had a different room,
'cause I do not remember
this view.
- Do you?
- Yeah? I don't remember anything.
I remember your cousin Lemmy,
and we tried to get
in the trailer, and we left.
I-I-I don't remember
anything, so...
Oh, really? Oh, my God,
I should have warned you,
it's just my head was so clouded
with Dan and high school and...
- Hmm. Right.
- Do you think that they're selling those guns to bad guys?
It's better you don't think
about it. All right?
Oh, oh, it's just that,
uh, I-I don't know
if I'm gonna see you again,
and-and, uh,
you know, I, um... I've got my
money now, so out of your hair!
- Yeah.
- But, um, thank you for everything.
Yeah. I don't like goodbyes,
- so I'll just say, see you around. How's that?
- Okay.
- And you're welcome anytime, wherever.
- Really?
- Of course.
- Oh. Just... you sure?
- Yeah.
- Oh, can... Hug?
Yeah... There you go. Oh, wow.
All right. Well, you be good.
So... oh, so good luck
in court today.
- Oh, thanks. Appreciate it.
- Oh! I was thinking,
- hang on, hang on, don't leave, okay?
- Yeah, well, I can't...
- I was thinking, since your case is about water...
- Yeah?
And-and so I'm thinking
that this guy
might be able to help you
because he does water deals.
- Oh, cool, yeah. Who the hell is he?
- Yeah.
Some guy. Spencer.
We-we met him in there.
He said...
"I make big fucking
"secret water deals," like,
whatever that means, right?
- Oh. Well, I-I don't remember the cat.
- Yeah, we met him in there
- at the party.
- I-I don't remember him.
Anyway, I got to go.
- So, fair warning...
- Yeah?
- The guy is really a piece of work.
- Okay.
Hey, hey, do you want me
to wrap up the toast
- for you to take? Um, I...
- No. No, I'm good.
I'm waiting for my dad.
I'll leave as soon as he comes.
He should be any minute.
I'll be brief.
I'm sorry about Roy.
He was a good man.
I know your relationship
with him was...
was complicated.
You know, your mother wanted
to tell you about him
a long time ago,
but Roy wouldn't let her.
He didn't want to interfere.
He didn't want to cause any
friction between you and Joe.
I think of Joe as my dad.
For better or for worse.
You know,
Roy meant a lot to Wade.
And to me.
He was there when...
when our mother took her own...
you know, when she passed.
Anyway, you and I
have both suffered
terrible losses, so if you ever
need a shoulder...
You want my land.
But what you really want
is a seat on the water board.
- Okay, yes, but that...
- First Wade, now you.
It must be more valuable
than I realize.
So...
I think I'll hold on to it.
There's my dad.
It was nice seeing you.
Okay, Diana's kicked me out
of my restaurant. It's gone.
I don't even have a place
to stay for me and Maya.
I just can't stop now.
- I'm sorry.
- No, no, no.
- You good?
- Yeah.
Yeah? All right.
The fuck are you doing?
Give me that. Give me that.
Give it to me. Let's go.
Come on. You too. Let's go.
Everybody in.
Everybody in... Briefcase.
Goddamn it.
God.
90% are showing up, right?
So there's...
you know, we have ten percent.
I can't...
With all this going on,
I can't...
- This is not...
- Look.
- What? What?
- Look.
So confident.
- What?
- Did you know the crow is the most intelligent non-mammal?
They're smarter than dolphins.
And they're, like...
I mean, for Christ's sakes,
you see rainbows in their wings.
Jesus, fuck, okay.
And they're just set in stone.
Billy?
Would you like me to get you
- a cup of coffee or something?
- Oh, hey, Martha.
I don't see enough of you.
I'm so glad you came.
Oh, I'm happy to be here.
- You're-you're beautiful.
- Thank you.
Fuck it, Martha,
you're a distraction.
- You're beautiful.
- Your proposed class
is limited to county residents
who don't have working water.
Mr. McBride?
Your proposed class is limited
to county residents
who don't have working water.
Correct?
Um, yes, that's correct,
Your Honor.
- Is everything all right?
- It's very, very good.
- Yes.
- Uh-huh.
And they just fly away.
They just fly away.
- They come check in...
- Okay.
Make sure their domain
is all in order,
and then they just fly away.
It's like...
They're protectors,
really, I think.
To discover who in
the county doesn't have water,
and then just add them all in
as individual plaintiffs?
Yes, uh, Your Honor,
but our class
largely consists
of undocumented workers
- who are afraid to join a lawsuit and...
- Oh, got it.
Sir, it's an emergency.
These people don't have water.
- It's urgent.
- And we don't have time...
It's urgent.
To gather everyone individually.
- It's urgent.
- It's urgent. What?
Right. Ms. Sen,
do you have anything
to add to this?
- Would you look at that?
- Mm-mm.
Would you look at that.
Permission to approach the bench?
Granted.
Your Honor, this class action
was illegally solicited.
I am moving to dismiss this case
based on
professional misconduct.
Whose professional misconduct?
Billy...?
Yours, Ms. Solis-Papagian.
- What? Billy...
- Well, if you don't know,
I'm more than happy
to enlighten you.
Okay.
- Mr. McBride!
- Billy?
Your first class representative,
Eugene Bennett,
originally hired you to file
a wrongful death action,
correct?
- Yes.
- But that case wasn't viable.
So you convinced him to go with
a class action instead?
Uh...
well, that is a loaded question
that someone...
should object to...
very quickly.
Mr. Bennett wasn't happy
with the new direction
of his case, was he?
Uh, well, his wife croaked, so
he wasn't a really happy man.
Permission to treat her
as a hostile witness?
Oh, my God, please do.
Granted. A simple "yes"
or "no" will suffice.
- I'm on it, Your Honor.
- Not "on it"!
- Yes, Your Honor. Copy, yep.
- Thank you!
Was Mr. Bennett happy
with your class action?
I'm gonna need a new pen.
- No.
- So you were afraid to lose him as a client,
and you went on TV
to invite others to be
part of this landmark
class action.
That's not what I...
That's not how I said it,
- and it's not what I said, so...
- Bailiff?
Right. So, um, if you, if you
live in Blackwood County,
um, and you don't have working
water in your home,
we want to hear from you,
'cause you could be part
of this, um,
landmark class action.
Sounds like a solicitation
of clients to me.
I mean, you know
that wasn't my intent.
Intent or not,
words have meaning.
Didn't Violet Webster
attend your little town hall
and listen to everything
you had to say there?
Right. Listen, Fatso,
you were there, so you know...
Counselor!
She is blessed with child.
Let's be very careful.
- Thank you, Your Honor.
- Take this outside.
You're welcome, my dear. Take it outside.
Listen, you were there.
Okay. Okay. You know that we
were just looking for witnesses,
- not clients.
- Uh, but you told me
that it was a privileged
attorney-client meeting,
didn't you? Yeah.
You considered
all those people there
prospective clients,
not witnesses.
- That is not accurate.
- Yeah, but when.
Mr. Bennett dropped out,
as expected,
you went to Ms. Webster and you
asked her in person, one-on-one,
- to be the face of your class action.
- You.
Didn't you?
Yes.
Yes.
- Your Honor, Ms. Soulless-Papagian...
- Solis-Papagian...
- Solis-Papagian...
- Solis-Papagian...
- Did you take it outside?
- I did. I got rid of it.
We've got it.
Thank you! We got it!
- She don't got it.
- Continue, Ms. Sen.
- Ms. Solis-Papagian...
- Papagian...
has just admitted
to soliciting litigation
in violation of the rules
of professional conduct.
She's unfit to practice law,
and cannot be trusted to protect
the interests of the class.
The court must deny
certification
and dismiss this case
with prejudice.
Mr. McBride... any thoughts?
Your witness, Mr. McBride.
Drunk and pathetic
sad little man
in a sad little suit.
You don't look so good either.
What?
- What?
- No, what did you say?
- Doesn't matter. It...
- Hi. Hi.
Hi.
- Hello.
- Hi.
So... um... why, um...
Why-why was the lady
delivering water?
Um... do you mean
why was Ms. Webster
delivering water
when I first got to town,
got stranded
and she picked me up?
Yes. Right.
Mm. Because the residents
didn't have water.
They didn't have water?
- That's terrible.
- Mm-hmm.
And I went with Ms. Webster
on one of her deliveries,
where I saw the problem
firsthand.
And this all happened
before the idea
for the class action occurred.
- It all happened before.
- Yes.
I would go so far as to say that
my interaction with Ms. Webster
was the foundation for the idea
of the class action,
and not a solicitation.
Billy boy, it fills my heart
with joy and sparkles
to witness such loyalty
to a partner,
even a bottle-blonde loser
ambulance chaser.
Why don't you shut your
fucking trap about her.
All I said was that the witness
is clearly leading
her own examination.
- No.
- I will allow it for now, Ms. Sen,
but, Mr. McBride,
you seem very distracted.
He abandoned me.
He'll abandon you,
just as he has
all those he's loved.
And someday very soon,
he'll die, lost and alone.
A sad ending to the sad tale
of the town drunk.
Amen!
Mr. McBride!
I know I never said goodbye.
I didn't say goodbye either.
Never said who? What?
I didn't say goodbye.
Billy, you know there's no price
on anything you want
to do for free.
That's right.
That's right.
Your Honor?
Yeah?
You see, my-my partner...
You don't know...
You don't know my partner.
It doesn't matter what she said
or she didn't say.
You know, that's not the point.
What is the point, Mr. McBride?
Well, the point is that
she saw people were suffering,
and she did something
I-I can't do.
They didn't have any water.
And she needed to help them.
And?
No more questions?
No-no more questions.
Well, that was something.
Take a seat, Mr. McBride.
I believe you gave it
your best shot.
But...
I also think
you solicited your class.
Oh, shit.
I am gonna rule
in favor of the defense
and grant their motion
to dismiss.
I am also going to contact
the state bar.
- This kind of behavior...
- Your Honor, I'll do it for free.
Pardon me?
I said I'll do it for free.
There's no prohibition against
solicitation in pro bono,
so I'll do it for free.
Well...
As long as you don't
stand a chance
of making any pecuniary gain,
congratulations.
You got yourself a class.
Your Honor,
you can't be serious.
Take it as a win, Ms. Sen.
You're not going to do better.
Court dismissed.
All rise.
So, I'm officially suing
the water board?
Yeah.
I thought that went very good.
- Okay.
- My God, take me.
The fuck was that?
The fuck was that?
- Look...
- Don't-don't say a word.
Don't say a word, all right?
We're making decisions
separately now as partners.
Right? Again with the pro bono?
- That's not what it was.
- Don't say a word.
Go sleep it off.
I don't want to talk
to you right now.
Something's wrong here,
and I don't know what it is,
but you could at least
give me a chance
to fuckin' talk to you.
Goddamn it.
- Hey.
- Hey, Billy.
- Um, listen.
- Yeah.
I just stopped by Denise's dorm
while I was on campus.
Um, when I showed up, Denise was
passed out; Middle of the day.
Her roommate said that
she's been drinking a lot.
Like this wasn't the first time.
I'm kind of worried about her.
Is she there with you right now?
No, I put her in the shower.
Yeah, well, tell her to call me.
Okay, but I mean,
you should come down here, okay?
You know, talk in person.
Yeah. Yeah.
Hey, listen, thanks
for taking care of her, okay.
Sure. Of course.
What's wrong?
I think I'm going crazy.
I keep seeing things.
I don't know if
I got a brain tumor,
or I don't know
what happened to me.
But I'm seeing things.
All kinds of things.
Billy, you're scaring me.
I'm sorry, I-I'm not trying
to scare you.
I'm just trying
to tell you the truth.
I love you.
You don't have to say
you love me, too.
I get it. It's okay.
I just wanted you to know.
Listen, you know I care
about you, right?
Yeah.
One thing at a time, okay?
Your daughter needs you.
Yeah, she does.
Just call me when
you get back to L.A.
Hey, Brittany...
you hang up first, okay?
Hey.
- Finally found you.
- Yeah.
I-I gave your mother my answer.
Yeah, well, she didn't like
that answer.
Diana doesn't do noes.
Ha!
You never did fight fair!
Quit before I break something.
- I hate you!
- You're such a little bitch.
What'd you call me?!
Fuck you!
Ow! Shit.
Are you okay?
Yes. Fine.
- You're not.
- Yes, I am.
I think your arm's broken.
It's not.
You want a ride?
No.
I'm okay. Thank you.
I will walk.
Fuck you!
Fuck out of my way!
What are you doing?
Come on, lady, move your ass!
It's a parking space!
Are you for real?
Hey, how long
have you been out here?
The hell are you doing out here?
Oh! I was...
I just had the most
amazing experience.
- How long you been out here?
- No idea,
but I was gonna leave,
but then my ex-husband
was standing right there.
- What was he doing here?
- And we just went for a walk,
and we talked and I feel
so much better about my divorce.
And then this man
came up from the ground
like he was coming out of the
top of a submarine, and the top
opened like a hatch
or something, and he goes,
"Are you lost?" And I said,
"I'm actually not anymore."
- Let me, let me ask you a question.
- And he was very dirty.
Listen to me, listen to me.
Did-did you have, like,
an alcoholic drink or something
that tasted weird or did you
take some kind of medicine
- or anything like that?
- No. I just...
'Cause I've been having
these weird things, too,
and I've been seeing shit that,
uh, I-I'm not sure
is there, so...
I-I just had breakfast, like...
Maybe it was the waffles.
Well, I didn't have
any waffles, though.
So what did you have?
I didn't have anything.
I drank that fucking juice,
a little bit of it, that's it.
- I finished that juice.
- You did?
- The whole thing.
- Come here.
- You okay?
- Mm-hmm.
Listen now, why don't you just
go back up to the room
and I'm-a come get you in
a little bit and get you home,
- okay?
- Okay.
I want to take a shower.
I smell like asphalt.
Can you smell it?
No, no, honey, no, no.
- Bye.
- Yeah, bye.
I see your wife joined you.
Well, she's not my wife, but
she did tell me what happened,
and, uh, you were right,
I have been here before.
So, you remembered
what I told you.
WELL, I KNOW THIS:
If I were you,
I'd talk to the kitchen staff
about some
of the breakfast items
'cause I think they're a little
sketchy, if you get my drift.
Oh? Is there something wrong?
Maybe it was an accident,
probably not.
One way or the other,
you could be facing a lawsuit.
I do not know
what you are implying.
I think you do.
I'll just leave it at that.
Hmm.
Diana, it's Joe.
The little fucker knows.
And boost your mood.
Shake your stress...
- Patty.
- Whoa! Yes.
Miss Blackwood's
ready to see you now.
Okay.
Okay, follow me this way,
please.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
all right.
What are you, a compass?
Hold on.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- How are you? Oh.
- How've you been? Yeah.
- Hi, hi.
- Thank you.
Thank you so much.
So do you want something to eat?
Like, a snack or juice, or...
- No, I'm good, I'm good.
- No.
- Here, why don't you sit right over here.
- Okay.
Well... Oh, yeah.
I am so happy
that you dropped by.
- What can I do for you?
- I want to talk to you
about the situation
with Gloria's Restaurant.
Oh, yeah, that's a,
that's a tough one.
Is it?
Well...
Yeah, I-I, um, I talked to
my brother about it, and, um...
I really
didn't want to fire her,
but it probably is for the best.
Optics.
- A small town.
- I thought you and your brother
kept your business affairs
separate?
We-we normally do,
but your lawsuit has made life
complicated for everyone.
Well, you should reconsider
how you mistreat your employees
since they're the ones
that are suffering
because of your
business practices.
My business practices?
What, like-like the free clinic
and the organic cafeteria?
- That's... I was talking about the organic cafeteria.
- Right.
- It's a problem for them, I know.
- Yeah, yeah.
Look, as-as sweet
as Gloria and Violet are...
And they are... I mean, I don't
fault them for taking sides,
but it's a lawsuit, you know.
They took a side
and we had to respond.
Yeah, and your response
was shitty.
Wow.
You really care about them,
don't you?
Okay.
Just forgive me, but, um...
I have something here.
I just couldn't help myself.
Okay, what's that?
Well, I-I don't,
I don't know if you know,
but, uh, I adopted my boys,
and I'm very sensitive
to children who have spent time
in the foster care system.
- Okay.
- And who may or may not
know anything about who
or where they come from.
So I know that you were
in the system for years,
and I had a friend of mine
from Social Services
look into your history.
So I don't know if you've
ever had interest in meeting
or talking to your birth mom...
So inappropriate.
Well, I-I don't see it that way.
Yeah, fuck you.
I don't. Patty, th-this
information was actually
- very difficult to come by.
- I don't care.
Hey, Patty, Patty.
I am just trying to help.
Help Violet and Gloria,
that's who you help. Okay?
Okay. Okay.
I will talk to my brother, and
we'll see what we can do, okay?
Especially about Gloria's
housing situation.
- Do that.
- Okay.
Would you like some of this?
It has CBD oil.
I would like you
to shove that up your ass.
It could help with your stress.
- Did you get everything, baby?
- Yeah.
You didn't leave anything
under the bed, right?
- No.
- Okay.
I don't want to move, Mommy.
I know, baby.
I don't want to move, either.
Gloria?
Yeah?
Hi, I have your check.
My check? For what?
Oh, for whatever.
Maybe you could use it
as a down payment
for a little something.
Something for yourself, for
the little princess over here.
Condo, a new car, whatever.
Holy shit. $20,000?
Who... Who is it from?
Don't worry about it. Enjoy.
- Who was that lady?
- I don't know, baby.
Come on.
Hello?
Hi, uh,
this is Gloria
from Gloria's Restaurant.
Is this Brittany?
Oh, hi. Yes.
Hi. Uh, sorry to bother you,
I wasn't sure who to call...
No, what's up?
A woman I don't know handed me
a check for $20,000.
No explanation. I mean,
I'm-I'm happy
for the money, but...
I don't recognize the company.
- I know, baby. I know, baby.
- I'm hungry.
I don't recognize the company
or why they're even paying me.
Um, what's the company name?
Fer-de-lance.
Could you take a picture of the
check and just text it to me?
Yeah, sure.
It-it-it sounds weird, right?
We'll look into it. Don't worry.
- Okay?
- Great.
- All right.
- Thanks.
- Thanks, Gloria. Bye.
- Bye.
I had a bad day and
a couple drinks.
You're making a big deal
out of nothing.
That's not nothing, okay?
I just don't want you going down
the wrong road, that's all.
- You of all people.
- Yeah, exactly.
Look, this is how it started
for me when I was a freshman.
It wasn't a problem until, you
know, it suddenly was a problem.
Well, thanks for the
after-school special, guys.
Are we done?
Oh, can you hand me
those things there?
Okay.
What's up with devil bitch
pictures here?
She's a fucking criminal.
- You got to let it go, honey.
- How can you just let her go?
- Why aren't we doing anything?
- What do you want me to do?
- Well, I don't know. You're the genius fucking lawyer.
- Hey, thanks.
It's sick she's not in prison.
I have class.
Well, see ya...
if you ever decide
to come back to L.A.
I'll keep trying.
Yeah, I appreciate it.
Oh, remember Gloria
from Gloria's Restaurant?
Yeah, yeah.
She, uh, she received
this suspicious check
- for a lot of money.
- Uh-huh.
I don't know, may or may not
be case-related.
I'll have Marva look into it.
Hey, I'm sorry
I scared you, okay?
It's fine. Don't worry about it.
And when I was saying
that stuff to you
on the phone, I... you know,
I was just in a weird...
- Billy.
- Sort of moment.
It's okay.
Anybody got anything to say
about anything?
Hmm?
Got a black eye here, arm cast.
I know there's a story
behind that.
Hmm? No? Diana?
You got anything?
Why don't you tell us
about your day.
Well, my day,
my day was uneventful.
Visiting a movie
set was uneventful?
You talked to Stephanie?
Mm-hmm. Now I get it.
- Do you?
- Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Let's talk about it later.
You're making plans
for our future,
that seems like
a family discussion.
Okay,
then let's talk about it now.
Actually, no, I don't,
I don't feel like it.
I think I'm gonna go to bed.
Mom, what about
the cake and gifts?
I don't really feel
like that either.
Then what the fuck
do you feel like?!
I feel fucking betrayed.
Gosh, that feels bad,
doesn't it?
What, are you gonna
teach me a lesson?
Oh, no. Oh, no.
Old dogs and all that shit.
- No, no, no.
- You can be, you can be a fucking spiteful prick.
Let me ask you something.
When you offered to buy
Roy's land from Stephanie,
whose money were you
planning on using?
Every fucking penny
I made for years.
I will gladly cut you a check
right now
- for services rendered!
- Approaching Stephanie
should've been a discussion
between the two of us,
as a team. Stop that, Anton!
I do not remember my phone
ringing off the wall
when you talked to her!
Maybe I was going
to surprise you!
Maybe I was going to give you
the signed deed as a gift.
Maybe, maybe. It's always maybe...
Because I love you,
- I was gonna...
- maybe with you!
Now let me tell you something!
All right.
You let me handle Roy's land.
After the way he went
out of this world,
that's the least you can do.
I love both of you very much.
But you have both
disappointed me,
and that cannot go unpunished.
So, I need both of you
to tell me what you did.
Okay?
And why you're making me
punish both of you.
I failed you.
And?
It won't happen again.
Okay.
So, one watches
and the other receives.
Okay? Anton, you choose.
I love you.
I love you.
I don't even know why
you're going back up there.
I just won't order
room service anymore.
What does that even mean?
Look, they've been watching me,
now I'm gonna watch them, okay?
That's, that's a terrible idea.
You want to come do it?
Absolutely not. What?
That's what I thought.
- All right, my food's here.
- Okay. I'll call you
when I get back from Sacramento.
- Yeah, okay, cool. Bye, cuckoo.
- Okay, bye.
God.
Yes. Cool your jets!
Me? Me?
When Pocahontas bats
her eyelashes,
you believe everything she says!
Don't call her what?
Huh?! What?! What?!
You're being a fucking asshole!
Fuck you!
That's because
she didn't fucking do it!
Here we go, folks.
Keep your eye on it.
I know you are.
With the big glasses, okay?
Watch this.
There's nothing here.
Some folks do a lot of good
in the world.
That encourages us to do good.
A few people start off
on the wrong foot.
Their black deeds serve
as a warning post to us.
The song I'm gonna sing
for you now, boys and girls,
is about a boy
who sort of wandered off
the straight and narrow trail,
took up a crooked course.
As usual, with all outlaws,
he paid with his life.
His name was Billy the Kid.
Hey. Spencer Jackson.
- Billy McBride.
- Yeah. Yeah, we've met before.
Yeah, well,
I don't remember everything,
but I-I hear
it was a wild night.
Yeah. You are
a motherfucker, you know that?
You got me so goddamn drunk
that night.
Hell, I hadn't been
that wasted since college.
Yeah, well, I have that effect
on people sometimes.
Yeah. Yeah.
And what about that, uh,
that roulette chick
you were with? What's her story?
- Well...
- How'd she win all that goddamn money?
I guess the Rising Sun's
a good luck charm for her.
- I don't know. You got me.
- Oh, man.
I fucking love that place, huh?
- Yeah.
- It's a real shithole, but it's way out there
and you do a lot of fun stuff
off the record,
- you know?
- Oh, yeah, no doubt about that. Yeah, yeah.
- So what can I do for you?
- Well, I'm an attorney,
- and I...
- Uh-oh. What'd I do?
Uh, we'll see.
No, uh, w-we've got
a class action lawsuit
against the
Blackwood County Water Board.
Oh.
Well, how can I help you
with that?
Well, I was hoping
to get some information
about the Big Sur Agreement.
- Big Sur?
- Yeah. Y-You were there, right?
Well, sure,
I-I've been to Big Sur,
but I don't know anything
about an agreement.
Oh, right. Yeah, the NDAs.
Well, I'm gonna crack those.
And when I do, I'm gonna find
out exactly who was there.
Find out
who the big players were,
and what each person's
got to lose.
You know,
like reputation and career.
Little shit like that. Yeah.
If I were you, I'd think
about this long and hard.
Figure out if you want to be
at the head of the train
or the end of the train.
Because as a representative
of the state,
I'm pretty damn sure
that I'm gonna find your name
on the dotted line
as the guy who signed off on
privatizing a public resource.
That ain't cool, you know?
Well, Billy,
I have an 11:00, so...
Oh, do you? That surprises
the shit out of me.
- Yeah. I got work.
- Well, I'm not worried about it.
You'll call me, as soon as you
find out that these fat cats
you've been playing with,
these billionaires,
they've got a whole team of
lawyers who are just salivating.
They can't wait
to nail your goddamn ass
and pin everything on you,
so... I figure
I'll hear from you.
I was gonna give you a card,
but... most of those guys
have my number,
so you can get it pretty easy.
You be good.
Wade? It's Spence.
Uh, what the fuck is going on
in Blackwood County?
Hmm. How do you mean?
Well, Billy fucking McBride just
left my office is what I mean.
- Oh, did he now?
- Yeah.
How worried do I need to be?
Spencer wants to know
how worried he should be.
He should be shaking
like a shitting dog
on a thin sheet of ice.
Wha... I-I, uh...
- Feel better?
- Now, just...
Can you shoot me straight,
please?
Are we in trouble here?
Or are we good?
And what about me, Donald?
When a rose as lovely
as you blooms,
the bees come, uninvited.
I will pin and mount
every single one of them.
Yeah!
Cut! Cut! Cut!
How's your back?
- You hit the ground hard.
- I'm fine.
- Steph, that was amazing.
- It was okay? You got it?
- Y-You okay?
- Good. I'm good.
- You got another one in you?
- Totally!
- I'm kidding. It was fantastic.
- Okay.
- Thank you. It was great.
- All right. Thank you.
That was amazing!
Check it. Let's go.
- Moving on!
- Let's go back to holding.
So good.
Wow.
I got to admit
my heart was pounding
just watching you
jump off that bike.
- Why do you do that every day?
- It's my job.
Everybody's got
to make a living, I guess.
- There's no way I could do that.
- No.
Hey, Steph, uh, I wanted you
to know that there is a box
waiting for you
over at Roy's house.
It's like
knickknacks, keepsakes,
you know, things like that,
things you might want.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
And...
Did Roy ever talk to you
about his estate?
No.
Huh? Okay.
You're sure to be getting a call
from his executor,
but, uh, I'm just
gonna tell you...
Roy willed everything to you.
All the land, house...
it's all yours.
I don't understand.
Well... you were
important to Roy.
You and your mother.
It, uh...
I'm interested to know if...
you'd want to be
keeping that land.
'Cause if you do want to sell...
I hope you consider
selling it to me.
Because I'll give you
what it's gonna be worth
ten years from now.
That land was Roy's
heart and soul,
and I just... I'd be sad if...
I saw it go to somebody
that, uh,
didn't know that.
Or care about it the way
that we do.
- Yeah.
- Give it some thought.
All right? 'Cause...
those, uh, vultures,
they're gonna be circling soon.
That was great
watching you out there.
Go get some bad guys
for me, okay?
See you.
Ooh, that was fast!
Oh, come on in.
Room service is here!
Okay, how about just right,
um, right here.
Okay. Um... Billy?
I'm grabbing $20,
but, uh, I'll pay you back.
I'm keeping track. Okay.
Okay, here, um...
Jordan, thank you. Yes.
Okay. Nice.
Oh, look at this. Okay.
Oh. Look.
I've got eggs and bacon
and muffins and waffles for me,
and toast...
That's great, but you know what?
I don't really eat in the
morning, so knock yourself out.
Oh, oh, no, you have to put
something in your stomach.
No, no, I'll just
have some coffee.
- I'll be fine.
- No, at least have some juice.
Oh, for God's sake.
Okay, drink up.
- Come on. Take a big...
- All right, then. There we go.
No, no, one more sip.
One more...
- I don't even fucking like juice.
- One more sip.
- Thank you.
- Mm.
- Okay.
- Okay, great.
Hey. Mm.
- When we were here before...
- Mm-hmm?
I think we had a different room,
'cause I do not remember
this view.
- Do you?
- Yeah? I don't remember anything.
I remember your cousin Lemmy,
and we tried to get
in the trailer, and we left.
I-I-I don't remember
anything, so...
Oh, really? Oh, my God,
I should have warned you,
it's just my head was so clouded
with Dan and high school and...
- Hmm. Right.
- Do you think that they're selling those guns to bad guys?
It's better you don't think
about it. All right?
Oh, oh, it's just that,
uh, I-I don't know
if I'm gonna see you again,
and-and, uh,
you know, I, um... I've got my
money now, so out of your hair!
- Yeah.
- But, um, thank you for everything.
Yeah. I don't like goodbyes,
- so I'll just say, see you around. How's that?
- Okay.
- And you're welcome anytime, wherever.
- Really?
- Of course.
- Oh. Just... you sure?
- Yeah.
- Oh, can... Hug?
Yeah... There you go. Oh, wow.
All right. Well, you be good.
So... oh, so good luck
in court today.
- Oh, thanks. Appreciate it.
- Oh! I was thinking,
- hang on, hang on, don't leave, okay?
- Yeah, well, I can't...
- I was thinking, since your case is about water...
- Yeah?
And-and so I'm thinking
that this guy
might be able to help you
because he does water deals.
- Oh, cool, yeah. Who the hell is he?
- Yeah.
Some guy. Spencer.
We-we met him in there.
He said...
"I make big fucking
"secret water deals," like,
whatever that means, right?
- Oh. Well, I-I don't remember the cat.
- Yeah, we met him in there
- at the party.
- I-I don't remember him.
Anyway, I got to go.
- So, fair warning...
- Yeah?
- The guy is really a piece of work.
- Okay.
Hey, hey, do you want me
to wrap up the toast
- for you to take? Um, I...
- No. No, I'm good.
I'm waiting for my dad.
I'll leave as soon as he comes.
He should be any minute.
I'll be brief.
I'm sorry about Roy.
He was a good man.
I know your relationship
with him was...
was complicated.
You know, your mother wanted
to tell you about him
a long time ago,
but Roy wouldn't let her.
He didn't want to interfere.
He didn't want to cause any
friction between you and Joe.
I think of Joe as my dad.
For better or for worse.
You know,
Roy meant a lot to Wade.
And to me.
He was there when...
when our mother took her own...
you know, when she passed.
Anyway, you and I
have both suffered
terrible losses, so if you ever
need a shoulder...
You want my land.
But what you really want
is a seat on the water board.
- Okay, yes, but that...
- First Wade, now you.
It must be more valuable
than I realize.
So...
I think I'll hold on to it.
There's my dad.
It was nice seeing you.
Okay, Diana's kicked me out
of my restaurant. It's gone.
I don't even have a place
to stay for me and Maya.
I just can't stop now.
- I'm sorry.
- No, no, no.
- You good?
- Yeah.
Yeah? All right.
The fuck are you doing?
Give me that. Give me that.
Give it to me. Let's go.
Come on. You too. Let's go.
Everybody in.
Everybody in... Briefcase.
Goddamn it.
God.
90% are showing up, right?
So there's...
you know, we have ten percent.
I can't...
With all this going on,
I can't...
- This is not...
- Look.
- What? What?
- Look.
So confident.
- What?
- Did you know the crow is the most intelligent non-mammal?
They're smarter than dolphins.
And they're, like...
I mean, for Christ's sakes,
you see rainbows in their wings.
Jesus, fuck, okay.
And they're just set in stone.
Billy?
Would you like me to get you
- a cup of coffee or something?
- Oh, hey, Martha.
I don't see enough of you.
I'm so glad you came.
Oh, I'm happy to be here.
- You're-you're beautiful.
- Thank you.
Fuck it, Martha,
you're a distraction.
- You're beautiful.
- Your proposed class
is limited to county residents
who don't have working water.
Mr. McBride?
Your proposed class is limited
to county residents
who don't have working water.
Correct?
Um, yes, that's correct,
Your Honor.
- Is everything all right?
- It's very, very good.
- Yes.
- Uh-huh.
And they just fly away.
They just fly away.
- They come check in...
- Okay.
Make sure their domain
is all in order,
and then they just fly away.
It's like...
They're protectors,
really, I think.
To discover who in
the county doesn't have water,
and then just add them all in
as individual plaintiffs?
Yes, uh, Your Honor,
but our class
largely consists
of undocumented workers
- who are afraid to join a lawsuit and...
- Oh, got it.
Sir, it's an emergency.
These people don't have water.
- It's urgent.
- And we don't have time...
It's urgent.
To gather everyone individually.
- It's urgent.
- It's urgent. What?
Right. Ms. Sen,
do you have anything
to add to this?
- Would you look at that?
- Mm-mm.
Would you look at that.
Permission to approach the bench?
Granted.
Your Honor, this class action
was illegally solicited.
I am moving to dismiss this case
based on
professional misconduct.
Whose professional misconduct?
Billy...?
Yours, Ms. Solis-Papagian.
- What? Billy...
- Well, if you don't know,
I'm more than happy
to enlighten you.
Okay.
- Mr. McBride!
- Billy?
Your first class representative,
Eugene Bennett,
originally hired you to file
a wrongful death action,
correct?
- Yes.
- But that case wasn't viable.
So you convinced him to go with
a class action instead?
Uh...
well, that is a loaded question
that someone...
should object to...
very quickly.
Mr. Bennett wasn't happy
with the new direction
of his case, was he?
Uh, well, his wife croaked, so
he wasn't a really happy man.
Permission to treat her
as a hostile witness?
Oh, my God, please do.
Granted. A simple "yes"
or "no" will suffice.
- I'm on it, Your Honor.
- Not "on it"!
- Yes, Your Honor. Copy, yep.
- Thank you!
Was Mr. Bennett happy
with your class action?
I'm gonna need a new pen.
- No.
- So you were afraid to lose him as a client,
and you went on TV
to invite others to be
part of this landmark
class action.
That's not what I...
That's not how I said it,
- and it's not what I said, so...
- Bailiff?
Right. So, um, if you, if you
live in Blackwood County,
um, and you don't have working
water in your home,
we want to hear from you,
'cause you could be part
of this, um,
landmark class action.
Sounds like a solicitation
of clients to me.
I mean, you know
that wasn't my intent.
Intent or not,
words have meaning.
Didn't Violet Webster
attend your little town hall
and listen to everything
you had to say there?
Right. Listen, Fatso,
you were there, so you know...
Counselor!
She is blessed with child.
Let's be very careful.
- Thank you, Your Honor.
- Take this outside.
You're welcome, my dear. Take it outside.
Listen, you were there.
Okay. Okay. You know that we
were just looking for witnesses,
- not clients.
- Uh, but you told me
that it was a privileged
attorney-client meeting,
didn't you? Yeah.
You considered
all those people there
prospective clients,
not witnesses.
- That is not accurate.
- Yeah, but when.
Mr. Bennett dropped out,
as expected,
you went to Ms. Webster and you
asked her in person, one-on-one,
- to be the face of your class action.
- You.
Didn't you?
Yes.
Yes.
- Your Honor, Ms. Soulless-Papagian...
- Solis-Papagian...
- Solis-Papagian...
- Solis-Papagian...
- Did you take it outside?
- I did. I got rid of it.
We've got it.
Thank you! We got it!
- She don't got it.
- Continue, Ms. Sen.
- Ms. Solis-Papagian...
- Papagian...
has just admitted
to soliciting litigation
in violation of the rules
of professional conduct.
She's unfit to practice law,
and cannot be trusted to protect
the interests of the class.
The court must deny
certification
and dismiss this case
with prejudice.
Mr. McBride... any thoughts?
Your witness, Mr. McBride.
Drunk and pathetic
sad little man
in a sad little suit.
You don't look so good either.
What?
- What?
- No, what did you say?
- Doesn't matter. It...
- Hi. Hi.
Hi.
- Hello.
- Hi.
So... um... why, um...
Why-why was the lady
delivering water?
Um... do you mean
why was Ms. Webster
delivering water
when I first got to town,
got stranded
and she picked me up?
Yes. Right.
Mm. Because the residents
didn't have water.
They didn't have water?
- That's terrible.
- Mm-hmm.
And I went with Ms. Webster
on one of her deliveries,
where I saw the problem
firsthand.
And this all happened
before the idea
for the class action occurred.
- It all happened before.
- Yes.
I would go so far as to say that
my interaction with Ms. Webster
was the foundation for the idea
of the class action,
and not a solicitation.
Billy boy, it fills my heart
with joy and sparkles
to witness such loyalty
to a partner,
even a bottle-blonde loser
ambulance chaser.
Why don't you shut your
fucking trap about her.
All I said was that the witness
is clearly leading
her own examination.
- No.
- I will allow it for now, Ms. Sen,
but, Mr. McBride,
you seem very distracted.
He abandoned me.
He'll abandon you,
just as he has
all those he's loved.
And someday very soon,
he'll die, lost and alone.
A sad ending to the sad tale
of the town drunk.
Amen!
Mr. McBride!
I know I never said goodbye.
I didn't say goodbye either.
Never said who? What?
I didn't say goodbye.
Billy, you know there's no price
on anything you want
to do for free.
That's right.
That's right.
Your Honor?
Yeah?
You see, my-my partner...
You don't know...
You don't know my partner.
It doesn't matter what she said
or she didn't say.
You know, that's not the point.
What is the point, Mr. McBride?
Well, the point is that
she saw people were suffering,
and she did something
I-I can't do.
They didn't have any water.
And she needed to help them.
And?
No more questions?
No-no more questions.
Well, that was something.
Take a seat, Mr. McBride.
I believe you gave it
your best shot.
But...
I also think
you solicited your class.
Oh, shit.
I am gonna rule
in favor of the defense
and grant their motion
to dismiss.
I am also going to contact
the state bar.
- This kind of behavior...
- Your Honor, I'll do it for free.
Pardon me?
I said I'll do it for free.
There's no prohibition against
solicitation in pro bono,
so I'll do it for free.
Well...
As long as you don't
stand a chance
of making any pecuniary gain,
congratulations.
You got yourself a class.
Your Honor,
you can't be serious.
Take it as a win, Ms. Sen.
You're not going to do better.
Court dismissed.
All rise.
So, I'm officially suing
the water board?
Yeah.
I thought that went very good.
- Okay.
- My God, take me.
The fuck was that?
The fuck was that?
- Look...
- Don't-don't say a word.
Don't say a word, all right?
We're making decisions
separately now as partners.
Right? Again with the pro bono?
- That's not what it was.
- Don't say a word.
Go sleep it off.
I don't want to talk
to you right now.
Something's wrong here,
and I don't know what it is,
but you could at least
give me a chance
to fuckin' talk to you.
Goddamn it.
- Hey.
- Hey, Billy.
- Um, listen.
- Yeah.
I just stopped by Denise's dorm
while I was on campus.
Um, when I showed up, Denise was
passed out; Middle of the day.
Her roommate said that
she's been drinking a lot.
Like this wasn't the first time.
I'm kind of worried about her.
Is she there with you right now?
No, I put her in the shower.
Yeah, well, tell her to call me.
Okay, but I mean,
you should come down here, okay?
You know, talk in person.
Yeah. Yeah.
Hey, listen, thanks
for taking care of her, okay.
Sure. Of course.
What's wrong?
I think I'm going crazy.
I keep seeing things.
I don't know if
I got a brain tumor,
or I don't know
what happened to me.
But I'm seeing things.
All kinds of things.
Billy, you're scaring me.
I'm sorry, I-I'm not trying
to scare you.
I'm just trying
to tell you the truth.
I love you.
You don't have to say
you love me, too.
I get it. It's okay.
I just wanted you to know.
Listen, you know I care
about you, right?
Yeah.
One thing at a time, okay?
Your daughter needs you.
Yeah, she does.
Just call me when
you get back to L.A.
Hey, Brittany...
you hang up first, okay?
Hey.
- Finally found you.
- Yeah.
I-I gave your mother my answer.
Yeah, well, she didn't like
that answer.
Diana doesn't do noes.
Ha!
You never did fight fair!
Quit before I break something.
- I hate you!
- You're such a little bitch.
What'd you call me?!
Fuck you!
Ow! Shit.
Are you okay?
Yes. Fine.
- You're not.
- Yes, I am.
I think your arm's broken.
It's not.
You want a ride?
No.
I'm okay. Thank you.
I will walk.
Fuck you!
Fuck out of my way!
What are you doing?
Come on, lady, move your ass!
It's a parking space!
Are you for real?
Hey, how long
have you been out here?
The hell are you doing out here?
Oh! I was...
I just had the most
amazing experience.
- How long you been out here?
- No idea,
but I was gonna leave,
but then my ex-husband
was standing right there.
- What was he doing here?
- And we just went for a walk,
and we talked and I feel
so much better about my divorce.
And then this man
came up from the ground
like he was coming out of the
top of a submarine, and the top
opened like a hatch
or something, and he goes,
"Are you lost?" And I said,
"I'm actually not anymore."
- Let me, let me ask you a question.
- And he was very dirty.
Listen to me, listen to me.
Did-did you have, like,
an alcoholic drink or something
that tasted weird or did you
take some kind of medicine
- or anything like that?
- No. I just...
'Cause I've been having
these weird things, too,
and I've been seeing shit that,
uh, I-I'm not sure
is there, so...
I-I just had breakfast, like...
Maybe it was the waffles.
Well, I didn't have
any waffles, though.
So what did you have?
I didn't have anything.
I drank that fucking juice,
a little bit of it, that's it.
- I finished that juice.
- You did?
- The whole thing.
- Come here.
- You okay?
- Mm-hmm.
Listen now, why don't you just
go back up to the room
and I'm-a come get you in
a little bit and get you home,
- okay?
- Okay.
I want to take a shower.
I smell like asphalt.
Can you smell it?
No, no, honey, no, no.
- Bye.
- Yeah, bye.
I see your wife joined you.
Well, she's not my wife, but
she did tell me what happened,
and, uh, you were right,
I have been here before.
So, you remembered
what I told you.
WELL, I KNOW THIS:
If I were you,
I'd talk to the kitchen staff
about some
of the breakfast items
'cause I think they're a little
sketchy, if you get my drift.
Oh? Is there something wrong?
Maybe it was an accident,
probably not.
One way or the other,
you could be facing a lawsuit.
I do not know
what you are implying.
I think you do.
I'll just leave it at that.
Hmm.
Diana, it's Joe.
The little fucker knows.
And boost your mood.
Shake your stress...
- Patty.
- Whoa! Yes.
Miss Blackwood's
ready to see you now.
Okay.
Okay, follow me this way,
please.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
all right.
What are you, a compass?
Hold on.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- How are you? Oh.
- How've you been? Yeah.
- Hi, hi.
- Thank you.
Thank you so much.
So do you want something to eat?
Like, a snack or juice, or...
- No, I'm good, I'm good.
- No.
- Here, why don't you sit right over here.
- Okay.
Well... Oh, yeah.
I am so happy
that you dropped by.
- What can I do for you?
- I want to talk to you
about the situation
with Gloria's Restaurant.
Oh, yeah, that's a,
that's a tough one.
Is it?
Well...
Yeah, I-I, um, I talked to
my brother about it, and, um...
I really
didn't want to fire her,
but it probably is for the best.
Optics.
- A small town.
- I thought you and your brother
kept your business affairs
separate?
We-we normally do,
but your lawsuit has made life
complicated for everyone.
Well, you should reconsider
how you mistreat your employees
since they're the ones
that are suffering
because of your
business practices.
My business practices?
What, like-like the free clinic
and the organic cafeteria?
- That's... I was talking about the organic cafeteria.
- Right.
- It's a problem for them, I know.
- Yeah, yeah.
Look, as-as sweet
as Gloria and Violet are...
And they are... I mean, I don't
fault them for taking sides,
but it's a lawsuit, you know.
They took a side
and we had to respond.
Yeah, and your response
was shitty.
Wow.
You really care about them,
don't you?
Okay.
Just forgive me, but, um...
I have something here.
I just couldn't help myself.
Okay, what's that?
Well, I-I don't,
I don't know if you know,
but, uh, I adopted my boys,
and I'm very sensitive
to children who have spent time
in the foster care system.
- Okay.
- And who may or may not
know anything about who
or where they come from.
So I know that you were
in the system for years,
and I had a friend of mine
from Social Services
look into your history.
So I don't know if you've
ever had interest in meeting
or talking to your birth mom...
So inappropriate.
Well, I-I don't see it that way.
Yeah, fuck you.
I don't. Patty, th-this
information was actually
- very difficult to come by.
- I don't care.
Hey, Patty, Patty.
I am just trying to help.
Help Violet and Gloria,
that's who you help. Okay?
Okay. Okay.
I will talk to my brother, and
we'll see what we can do, okay?
Especially about Gloria's
housing situation.
- Do that.
- Okay.
Would you like some of this?
It has CBD oil.
I would like you
to shove that up your ass.
It could help with your stress.
- Did you get everything, baby?
- Yeah.
You didn't leave anything
under the bed, right?
- No.
- Okay.
I don't want to move, Mommy.
I know, baby.
I don't want to move, either.
Gloria?
Yeah?
Hi, I have your check.
My check? For what?
Oh, for whatever.
Maybe you could use it
as a down payment
for a little something.
Something for yourself, for
the little princess over here.
Condo, a new car, whatever.
Holy shit. $20,000?
Who... Who is it from?
Don't worry about it. Enjoy.
- Who was that lady?
- I don't know, baby.
Come on.
Hello?
Hi, uh,
this is Gloria
from Gloria's Restaurant.
Is this Brittany?
Oh, hi. Yes.
Hi. Uh, sorry to bother you,
I wasn't sure who to call...
No, what's up?
A woman I don't know handed me
a check for $20,000.
No explanation. I mean,
I'm-I'm happy
for the money, but...
I don't recognize the company.
- I know, baby. I know, baby.
- I'm hungry.
I don't recognize the company
or why they're even paying me.
Um, what's the company name?
Fer-de-lance.
Could you take a picture of the
check and just text it to me?
Yeah, sure.
It-it-it sounds weird, right?
We'll look into it. Don't worry.
- Okay?
- Great.
- All right.
- Thanks.
- Thanks, Gloria. Bye.
- Bye.
I had a bad day and
a couple drinks.
You're making a big deal
out of nothing.
That's not nothing, okay?
I just don't want you going down
the wrong road, that's all.
- You of all people.
- Yeah, exactly.
Look, this is how it started
for me when I was a freshman.
It wasn't a problem until, you
know, it suddenly was a problem.
Well, thanks for the
after-school special, guys.
Are we done?
Oh, can you hand me
those things there?
Okay.
What's up with devil bitch
pictures here?
She's a fucking criminal.
- You got to let it go, honey.
- How can you just let her go?
- Why aren't we doing anything?
- What do you want me to do?
- Well, I don't know. You're the genius fucking lawyer.
- Hey, thanks.
It's sick she's not in prison.
I have class.
Well, see ya...
if you ever decide
to come back to L.A.
I'll keep trying.
Yeah, I appreciate it.
Oh, remember Gloria
from Gloria's Restaurant?
Yeah, yeah.
She, uh, she received
this suspicious check
- for a lot of money.
- Uh-huh.
I don't know, may or may not
be case-related.
I'll have Marva look into it.
Hey, I'm sorry
I scared you, okay?
It's fine. Don't worry about it.
And when I was saying
that stuff to you
on the phone, I... you know,
I was just in a weird...
- Billy.
- Sort of moment.
It's okay.
Anybody got anything to say
about anything?
Hmm?
Got a black eye here, arm cast.
I know there's a story
behind that.
Hmm? No? Diana?
You got anything?
Why don't you tell us
about your day.
Well, my day,
my day was uneventful.
Visiting a movie
set was uneventful?
You talked to Stephanie?
Mm-hmm. Now I get it.
- Do you?
- Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Let's talk about it later.
You're making plans
for our future,
that seems like
a family discussion.
Okay,
then let's talk about it now.
Actually, no, I don't,
I don't feel like it.
I think I'm gonna go to bed.
Mom, what about
the cake and gifts?
I don't really feel
like that either.
Then what the fuck
do you feel like?!
I feel fucking betrayed.
Gosh, that feels bad,
doesn't it?
What, are you gonna
teach me a lesson?
Oh, no. Oh, no.
Old dogs and all that shit.
- No, no, no.
- You can be, you can be a fucking spiteful prick.
Let me ask you something.
When you offered to buy
Roy's land from Stephanie,
whose money were you
planning on using?
Every fucking penny
I made for years.
I will gladly cut you a check
right now
- for services rendered!
- Approaching Stephanie
should've been a discussion
between the two of us,
as a team. Stop that, Anton!
I do not remember my phone
ringing off the wall
when you talked to her!
Maybe I was going
to surprise you!
Maybe I was going to give you
the signed deed as a gift.
Maybe, maybe. It's always maybe...
Because I love you,
- I was gonna...
- maybe with you!
Now let me tell you something!
All right.
You let me handle Roy's land.
After the way he went
out of this world,
that's the least you can do.
I love both of you very much.
But you have both
disappointed me,
and that cannot go unpunished.
So, I need both of you
to tell me what you did.
Okay?
And why you're making me
punish both of you.
I failed you.
And?
It won't happen again.
Okay.
So, one watches
and the other receives.
Okay? Anton, you choose.
I love you.
I love you.
I don't even know why
you're going back up there.
I just won't order
room service anymore.
What does that even mean?
Look, they've been watching me,
now I'm gonna watch them, okay?
That's, that's a terrible idea.
You want to come do it?
Absolutely not. What?
That's what I thought.
- All right, my food's here.
- Okay. I'll call you
when I get back from Sacramento.
- Yeah, okay, cool. Bye, cuckoo.
- Okay, bye.
God.
Yes. Cool your jets!
Me? Me?
When Pocahontas bats
her eyelashes,
you believe everything she says!
Don't call her what?
Huh?! What?! What?!
You're being a fucking asshole!
Fuck you!
That's because
she didn't fucking do it!
Here we go, folks.
Keep your eye on it.
I know you are.
With the big glasses, okay?
Watch this.
There's nothing here.
Some folks do a lot of good
in the world.
That encourages us to do good.
A few people start off
on the wrong foot.
Their black deeds serve
as a warning post to us.
The song I'm gonna sing
for you now, boys and girls,
is about a boy
who sort of wandered off
the straight and narrow trail,
took up a crooked course.
As usual, with all outlaws,
he paid with his life.
His name was Billy the Kid.
Hey. Spencer Jackson.
- Billy McBride.
- Yeah. Yeah, we've met before.
Yeah, well,
I don't remember everything,
but I-I hear
it was a wild night.
Yeah. You are
a motherfucker, you know that?
You got me so goddamn drunk
that night.
Hell, I hadn't been
that wasted since college.
Yeah, well, I have that effect
on people sometimes.
Yeah. Yeah.
And what about that, uh,
that roulette chick
you were with? What's her story?
- Well...
- How'd she win all that goddamn money?
I guess the Rising Sun's
a good luck charm for her.
- I don't know. You got me.
- Oh, man.
I fucking love that place, huh?
- Yeah.
- It's a real shithole, but it's way out there
and you do a lot of fun stuff
off the record,
- you know?
- Oh, yeah, no doubt about that. Yeah, yeah.
- So what can I do for you?
- Well, I'm an attorney,
- and I...
- Uh-oh. What'd I do?
Uh, we'll see.
No, uh, w-we've got
a class action lawsuit
against the
Blackwood County Water Board.
Oh.
Well, how can I help you
with that?
Well, I was hoping
to get some information
about the Big Sur Agreement.
- Big Sur?
- Yeah. Y-You were there, right?
Well, sure,
I-I've been to Big Sur,
but I don't know anything
about an agreement.
Oh, right. Yeah, the NDAs.
Well, I'm gonna crack those.
And when I do, I'm gonna find
out exactly who was there.
Find out
who the big players were,
and what each person's
got to lose.
You know,
like reputation and career.
Little shit like that. Yeah.
If I were you, I'd think
about this long and hard.
Figure out if you want to be
at the head of the train
or the end of the train.
Because as a representative
of the state,
I'm pretty damn sure
that I'm gonna find your name
on the dotted line
as the guy who signed off on
privatizing a public resource.
That ain't cool, you know?
Well, Billy,
I have an 11:00, so...
Oh, do you? That surprises
the shit out of me.
- Yeah. I got work.
- Well, I'm not worried about it.
You'll call me, as soon as you
find out that these fat cats
you've been playing with,
these billionaires,
they've got a whole team of
lawyers who are just salivating.
They can't wait
to nail your goddamn ass
and pin everything on you,
so... I figure
I'll hear from you.
I was gonna give you a card,
but... most of those guys
have my number,
so you can get it pretty easy.
You be good.
Wade? It's Spence.
Uh, what the fuck is going on
in Blackwood County?
Hmm. How do you mean?
Well, Billy fucking McBride just
left my office is what I mean.
- Oh, did he now?
- Yeah.
How worried do I need to be?
Spencer wants to know
how worried he should be.
He should be shaking
like a shitting dog
on a thin sheet of ice.
Wha... I-I, uh...
- Feel better?
- Now, just...
Can you shoot me straight,
please?
Are we in trouble here?
Or are we good?
And what about me, Donald?
When a rose as lovely
as you blooms,
the bees come, uninvited.
I will pin and mount
every single one of them.
