00:00:00The End
00:00:29You say that you're not eating.
00:00:35Your mother called me.
00:00:38She told me you wanted to speak with me.
00:00:40Yes.
00:00:43I'm here.
00:00:47What did you want to talk about?
00:00:51Well, I shot and killed her.
00:00:55Never took the standard trial so nobody ever got to hear my story.
00:01:00Well, you know I can't forgive the act.
00:01:03Or offer absolution.
00:01:05That is for him to do.
00:01:11But I can certainly listen.
00:01:20What's so funny?
00:01:21My mama was always right about you.
00:01:24She's always been right about you.
00:01:27She said if there's anybody that'll listen out there and not judge you, it's Pastor Jones.
00:01:34I'd like to think that your story is important.
00:01:40Like everybody else's.
00:01:43You are God's child.
00:01:47And whatever the act, and the lessons that you'll learn from it, it's all part of his greater will.
00:01:57You know, I never thought I'd say this.
00:02:04But he deserved to die.
00:02:09I'm sure you know, Pastor, that the Bible says,
00:02:15Whosoever was not written in the Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire.
00:02:23There are some people, Pastor, that were just meant to be rid of.
00:02:28To be rid of.
00:02:29Hello, baby.
00:02:30Hello, baby.
00:02:31I'm not hurt.
00:02:32You know I've been watching it right.
00:02:33Oh.
00:02:34Tell me...
00:02:35Want me to pick up the kids from school today?
00:02:53Oh, baby, I know you have to get back to work.
00:02:56Jesus, my lunch break ran over.
00:02:58My supervisor's gonna blow a gasket.
00:02:59I gotta get out of here.
00:03:05Oh, girl, you may be beautiful, but you're the cruelest thing I've ever seen.
00:03:19You used to be my closest friend.
00:03:26This is what's been going on behind my back?
00:03:28No, I'm sorry.
00:03:29Have this dude running around my house, interacting with my kids?
00:03:32Maybe.
00:03:33I've been faithful to you all these years.
00:03:35Never even so much as looked at another woman.
00:03:37It was a mistake.
00:03:38I've been a good husband to you, and this is how you repay me?
00:03:41I was gonna stop.
00:03:42My kids ain't deserve this.
00:03:43What's in the bag?
00:03:44I ain't deserve this.
00:03:44What's in the bag?
00:03:46You ain't worth it.
00:03:49I love my kids too much to have a due time for you.
00:03:55You'll be up and packed by the time I get back.
00:03:57Okay.
00:03:58Okay.
00:04:08Okay.
00:04:10A little girl, once offered a definition of faith, she was six years old, hallelujah.
00:04:32She defined faith as believing in something when everything and everyone around you tells
00:04:39you not to, hallelujah.
00:04:43It's believing in something when you do not see it.
00:04:48It's believing in something when you cannot touch it.
00:04:50It's believing in something when you cannot hear it, hallelujah.
00:04:53Oh, you're not with me today.
00:04:56I say you're not with me today, can I get an amen?
00:05:03Some of you have all the faith in the world and everything that is material.
00:05:09You believe in the Gucci, and the Louis, and you believe in the Chanel, in the Nicki Minaj,
00:05:21hallelujah.
00:05:22You believe in Drake, little Wayne, hallelujah, hallelujah.
00:05:28But can we love God, hallelujah.
00:05:31Hallelujah.
00:05:32Hallelujah.
00:05:33Hallelujah.
00:05:34Hallelujah.
00:05:35Hallelujah.
00:05:36Hallelujah.
00:05:37You're not with me today.
00:05:41But our real faith should be in that which we do not see, but we feel, hallelujah, we feel
00:05:51God, and that's what's important here.
00:05:56It's believing in the spirit of God.
00:06:01And some of y'all doubt him every day.
00:06:04Every day you wake up and you're confronted by your troubles and your woes.
00:06:11And suddenly you begin to doubt and ask God, oh, why me?
00:06:17I am troubled, and you start looking for alternative solutions rather than keeping your faith in
00:06:23God.
00:06:24Hallelujah.
00:06:25Hallelujah.
00:06:26Hallelujah.
00:06:27How can you truly say you have faith when you don't believe?
00:06:32Hallelujah.
00:06:33Hallelujah.
00:06:34Well, I want someone from the congregation to step up today and tell me that they believe
00:06:40this Sunday morning, who's going to step forward?
00:06:45Hallelujah.
00:06:46Come forward.
00:06:47Let's give a round of applause for you.
00:06:52I just want to say that God has been kind to me.
00:07:02He's given me a house and a career and a loving husband who I haven't always been good to.
00:07:20I put myself above us.
00:07:24You can have everything you ever wanted, and if you're not living by his word, it can be
00:07:29taken away from you in a heartbeat.
00:07:33Thank you for such a wonderful sermon, Pastor.
00:07:36Well, as always, Sister Carolyn, the words are inspired only by him.
00:07:41I'm just a vessel.
00:07:43Well, I've heard other vessels, and none deliver the gospel the way you do, Pastor Joe.
00:07:49Thank you nonetheless.
00:07:51So how may I help you?
00:07:53You remember me speaking to you about my daughter, Sandra.
00:07:57Oh, yes, of course.
00:07:59Welcome.
00:08:01Well, she moved in with me a couple of months back, just been having some difficulty with
00:08:06her marriage, you know, that kind of thing.
00:08:09Yes, I understand.
00:08:11She hasn't been able to see her children quite as often as she'd like to, and then her job
00:08:15let her go because she...
00:08:16Just looking for a job, Pastor, and my mom said that maybe you could help.
00:08:21Of course.
00:08:23I understand.
00:08:24There are many challenges that plague our community.
00:08:27Lack of access is tough among them.
00:08:29Our church prides itself on providing our congregation members with the resources to help them get
00:08:34back up on their feet, whatever the reason.
00:08:39There is something that flowed across my desk not too long ago.
00:08:43A member of our congregation who owns a Johnson law firm on Coliseum.
00:08:48I know he's in need of an assistant.
00:08:50I can set you up with an interview.
00:08:56Wow.
00:08:59Thank you very much.
00:09:00You're welcome.
00:09:01Now, there's no guarantees that he'll hire you, but he'll definitely give your resume
00:09:06a serious look if it comes from me.
00:09:07Okay.
00:09:08You don't know how important this is to us, Pastor.
00:09:11She's just had such a difficult time the last several months.
00:09:15Our lives are meaningless if we're not there to help.
00:09:19Now, make sure you take care of that first thing tomorrow.
00:09:23I know, Mom.
00:09:24Who will?
00:09:25Because you can't.
00:09:26I mean, you just got to get your life together.
00:09:29Look, if you're tired of me living there, I can go and stay with my friend Jasmine.
00:09:34It's not a problem.
00:09:35God damn it, Sandra.
00:09:36I'm really getting sick and tired of all of this victim nonsense all the damn time.
00:09:42Well, that's how you make me feel.
00:09:43Can't nobody make you feel no kind of way but you.
00:09:46Then why do you keep crucifying me about it all the time?
00:09:49Not being happy in your marriage will give you no type of reason to put your children,
00:09:54your whole life, and your family at risk.
00:09:57And where is he now, that lover of yours?
00:09:59Where is he when everything comes coming down?
00:10:01Don't care about him.
00:10:02You're where he is, okay?
00:10:03You just make sure you are on time and ready for that interview.
00:10:07Yes, my dad.
00:10:10Ms. Leonard said I was in class last week.
00:10:15That's great, Tweety.
00:10:16Mommy's proud of you.
00:10:18When are you coming back home, Mommy?
00:10:22Soon, baby.
00:10:28Where's your daddy?
00:10:30Try my mom.
00:10:34Have you seen any other mommies around?
00:10:36No.
00:10:38Good.
00:10:39Okay, Dylan.
00:10:40You get some rest, okay?
00:10:42I love you, Mommy.
00:10:44I love you too, baby.
00:10:57I spoke with Dylan this morning.
00:11:01Did you?
00:11:02He's doing really well in his class.
00:11:04That's what he told me.
00:11:06He told me that he's got a little girlfriend who follows him all over the playground.
00:11:11Oh, Lord.
00:11:12He didn't tell you?
00:11:14That boy, he's stay hiding stuff from me.
00:11:17He know better than to be telling me about some hoochie.
00:11:19He better tell you.
00:11:21So, what time are you calling the law firm?
00:11:28About that.
00:11:30So, I was thinking, even if I don't get the job, do you think maybe I should talk to someone
00:11:36down there about representing the divorce case?
00:11:38I thought you were working with a lawyer.
00:11:41I am, but it's one of those 1-800 lawyers, and I would hate to jeopardize the case.
00:11:48I don't see why not, but focus on getting the job first, okay?
00:11:54It might be easier to get them to help me actually work for them, right?
00:11:59Right.
00:12:00Okay.
00:12:01Okay.
00:12:02Let's review this again, Mr. Locke.
00:12:17When Ms. Peterson walked past you near the cash register, did you at any point touch, rub,
00:12:22or come into any physical contact with her?
00:12:25No, ma'am.
00:12:26I grazed into her one time, and I don't know if maybe she thought that I was off of...
00:12:31I'm more concerned about what you thought, Mr. Locke, not what she thought, for now.
00:12:36Did you at any point touch, rub, or come into any physical contact with her?
00:12:42No.
00:12:43I did not.
00:12:47When you were standing next to the counter near the cash register, did you make any statements
00:12:52whatsoever to Ms. Peterson?
00:12:53Like what?
00:12:54This is a yes or no question.
00:12:57No.
00:13:01You never said, hey, sweetie, those buns look plump and ready?
00:13:09Do I need to repeat the question, Mr. Locke?
00:13:12You can answer that question.
00:13:14Yeah, I said that.
00:13:17Do you consider that an appropriate question to ask an employee who's working for you?
00:13:22Yeah.
00:13:23Why is that, Mr. Locke?
00:13:25Why is it that you think it's okay to ask a young woman who works for you that question?
00:13:31Well, we work in a bakery.
00:13:34I didn't mean anything by it.
00:13:36That we had buns in the oven and they were ready?
00:13:40The buns in the oven were ready.
00:13:44Yeah.
00:13:45Cinnamon, I think.
00:13:48May I request a 15-minute break?
00:13:50My client's exhausted.
00:13:52Sure.
00:13:53We can convene in 15 minutes.
00:13:55Make a record and a note that we are breaking at 2.30 p.m.
00:14:00Okay, Charles.
00:14:05Charles.
00:14:06But the trial judge is McKenna.
00:14:08And everyone knows her whole entire time on the bench, she's very pro-women.
00:14:12Alright, so whatever the settlement's gonna be,
00:14:15whatever the settlement is going to be,
00:14:17let's make sure it's worth our time.
00:14:20Alright?
00:14:22Look, look.
00:14:23Why don't you guys just come back to us with something reasonable?
00:14:25Alright?
00:14:26That's all I'm asking.
00:14:28Okay.
00:14:29Alright.
00:14:30Goodbye.
00:14:33King?
00:14:34Yeah.
00:14:35His client wants to make the settlement offer,
00:14:36but it's nowhere near what Nancy's asking for.
00:14:39Well, I'm in there locking heads with barracudas,
00:14:41and thank God they're taking a break.
00:14:45Damn.
00:14:46What's wrong?
00:14:48Forgot it was Mercer and Joyce's anniversary today.
00:14:50Oh, Lord.
00:14:51Exactly.
00:14:52We gotta pick them up something.
00:14:54Oh, if you need me to, I'll get something.
00:14:57No, babe.
00:14:58We'll get someone on the way home.
00:14:59Alright.
00:15:03Blake Johnson Law Offices.
00:15:05Yes, good afternoon.
00:15:06May I speak with Stefan Johnson, please?
00:15:09Speaking.
00:15:11My name is Sandra Washington, and I got your number from Pastor Jones.
00:15:15Oh, yes, yes, yes.
00:15:16He did say you would be calling.
00:15:18Is the receptionist position still available?
00:15:20Yes, it is.
00:15:21We still need someone.
00:15:22Okay, so I was just calling to see if maybe we could set up an interview?
00:15:27Sure.
00:15:28Can I put you on for a minute?
00:15:29Sure.
00:15:33Babe, it's a young lady that Patrick was going to send over for an assistant job.
00:15:37What's a good time to bring her in?
00:15:38Sooner the better.
00:15:40Tomorrow morning?
00:15:41Yeah.
00:15:42Okay.
00:15:44How about you come in...
00:15:45Sandra?
00:15:46Yeah.
00:15:47Why don't you come in tomorrow morning around 10.30?
00:15:49Okay, great.
00:15:51See you then.
00:15:52Alright.
00:15:53Don't be late.
00:15:54Bye.
00:15:59Oh my God.
00:16:01So, he walks into the office, and there's spray paint all over his hands.
00:16:06So I asked him, do you know who graffitied the lockers in the hallway, Michael?
00:16:10He gives me this blank stare.
00:16:14Principal Miller, I have no clue.
00:16:17I was in math class when that happened.
00:16:20Man, I tell you, these kids are killing me, man.
00:16:22She's driving me crazy.
00:16:23Okay, Marcia, tell me what happened after that.
00:16:26Well, he finally confessed.
00:16:28Said he was prescient to tagging lockers.
00:16:31He's French, you know.
00:16:33Well, I guess we were all a little mischievous when we were in high school, too.
00:16:37Well, yeah, but being mischievous is one thing, but this is YOLO generation.
00:16:40I mean, these kids are completely turned up.
00:16:43Turned up, honey?
00:16:45Really?
00:16:46Did he just say turned up?
00:16:48That's the way these kids are talking nowadays is YOLO generation.
00:16:51You're right, you're right.
00:16:52That's how they talk.
00:16:53Hey, what's YOLO generation?
00:16:55You only live once.
00:16:56You only live once.
00:16:57That's these kids' mentality.
00:16:59How they look at life.
00:17:01All of them.
00:17:02Sad, man.
00:17:04I only live once, too.
00:17:05And I'm gonna dig in for seconds on this pasta my baby made.
00:17:08Oh, yes.
00:17:09Oh, yes.
00:17:11He can have it.
00:17:21Oh, George, can we throw down some cooking, huh?
00:17:23What are you saying?
00:17:24I can't?
00:17:25Uh, you know you're the most amazing cook I know.
00:17:28Uh-huh.
00:17:29And the most choppity-est.
00:17:30Uh-huh.
00:17:31And s*** this woman arrived.
00:17:33No.
00:17:34My wife, Barbara Blake Johnson.
00:17:38Look at you.
00:17:39And I'm lucky to have you, too, Mr. Johnson.
00:17:42Mm-hmm.
00:17:43We had fun tonight, huh?
00:17:44Yes, we did.
00:17:45Yeah.
00:17:46I liked it.
00:17:47And it got me thinking about our anniversary and where we should go.
00:17:50Mm-hmm.
00:17:51Yeah, I was thinking.
00:17:52Mm-hmm.
00:17:53Mm-hmm.
00:17:54Mm-hmm.
00:17:55Montego Bay.
00:17:56Just think about that.
00:17:57Oh, my God.
00:17:58Montego Bay.
00:17:59Baby, it's been 12 years since we've been here.
00:18:01I know.
00:18:02And this time it won't be rushed.
00:18:03We'll get a nice little bungalow in the ocean.
00:18:04Yes.
00:18:05Some candles.
00:18:06Mm-hmm.
00:18:07Some wine.
00:18:08What's that?
00:18:09Rum.
00:18:10Rum punch.
00:18:11Rum punch.
00:18:12Some of that exotic fruit.
00:18:13Mm-hmm.
00:18:14And exotic oils.
00:18:15Because you owe me a massage, Mrs. Johnson.
00:18:16Oh, wait a minute.
00:18:17Hold on now.
00:18:18If I recollect, Mr. Johnson, you owe me a massage, huh?
00:18:21Well, I'll do that to you tonight.
00:18:22Oh, I know.
00:18:23All right.
00:18:24Hurry up.
00:18:25All right.
00:18:26I'm coming.
00:18:27All right.
00:18:28Hurry up.
00:18:29All right.
00:18:30I'm coming.
00:18:50Mr. Johnson?
00:18:51Oh, Miss Washington, I presume?
00:18:53Yes.
00:18:54Yes.
00:18:55Oh, okay.
00:18:56Here we are.
00:18:59So, just have a seat and my partner will be with us shortly.
00:19:05Hello.
00:19:06I'm sorry I'm late.
00:19:09Well, my apologies for being late.
00:19:12I was stuck on a client call.
00:19:13Barbara Blake Johnson.
00:19:14Good meeting you, Missandra Washington.
00:19:16Great.
00:19:17Everyone is here.
00:19:18So, we looked at your resume, but tell us about yourself.
00:19:21Sure.
00:19:22Well, first, let me just thank you for seeing me.
00:19:24Pastor Jones says a lot of great things about you.
00:19:27He says that you're a considerate and thoughtful businessman and a godly man.
00:19:31So, thank you.
00:19:32Thank you, Intel, Pastor.
00:19:34I will.
00:19:35Okay.
00:19:36So, do you want to tell us something about yourself?
00:19:38Oh, yes.
00:19:39I'm originally from Chicago.
00:19:40My husband and I moved out here about two years ago with our youngest.
00:19:44Strange.
00:19:45I don't recall bumping into you at church.
00:19:47Well, my mom attends Pastor Jones' church.
00:19:50My husband and I haven't quite found a church home yet.
00:19:53In two years?
00:19:54Well, we're sort of picky when it comes to where we worship.
00:19:57Of course.
00:19:58Oh, go ahead.
00:19:59Please, continue.
00:20:00I've worked in retail for the better part of two years as a general manager.
00:20:04Decided to go into real estate.
00:20:06Got my license.
00:20:07That didn't really work out too well.
00:20:09And plus, the market is flat.
00:20:11Well, I think so.
00:20:12Now, Pastor Jones told us that you were recently divorced.
00:20:17I'm not divorced yet.
00:20:19It's in court.
00:20:22We're separated at the moment.
00:20:24I see.
00:20:25Okay.
00:20:26Okay.
00:20:27Well, let me tell you what we're looking for.
00:20:29Well, first the job pays $11 an hour.
00:20:31That's not much, but there are benefits.
00:20:33But we're looking for someone who's pleasant.
00:20:35Someone that can type, answer phones, schedule events, basic office duties.
00:20:39I can do all of that.
00:20:40Because we are a law firm, we have depositions, so we need help with the pre-depot duties.
00:20:45Various things like that.
00:20:46I ask a lot of questions.
00:20:48I'm a quick learner.
00:20:49Okay.
00:20:50Well, I have no more questions.
00:20:51Barbara?
00:20:52No, no.
00:20:53That's all.
00:20:54We'll discuss things among ourselves and then we'll get back to you.
00:20:57Okay.
00:20:58Well, thank you so much for your time.
00:20:59You're welcome.
00:21:03Remind me to talk.
00:21:10You okay, bae?
00:21:13Yeah, I was just thinking about that interview earlier.
00:21:16Yeah?
00:21:17What about it?
00:21:19I just got the nagging feeling she wasn't telling us anything.
00:21:23Like what?
00:21:24I mean, she answered out of our question.
00:21:26She seemed really nice.
00:21:27Yeah, a little too nice if you ask me.
00:21:29What do you mean?
00:21:31What do you mean?
00:21:32I mean all that.
00:21:33Yes, Mr. Johnson.
00:21:34He's a wonderful businessman, Mr. Johnson.
00:21:37You're so smart.
00:21:38He was kind and important.
00:21:40I don't know.
00:21:41She was just being nice.
00:21:43Probably a little nervous.
00:21:44Plus, she comes from pastor.
00:21:45Now, how bad could she be?
00:21:46Honey, she says she barely knows the pastor.
00:21:49Well, bae, then, if our pastor ask us to help someone in his congregation's family
00:21:53and we're in position to do so, I think we should, Barbara.
00:21:56Yeah, you're right.
00:21:58Maybe I'm reading too much into it.
00:22:01I mean, it's not fair to her, right?
00:22:06Wait, wait, wait.
00:22:07You're not getting a little possessive there, are you, Mrs. Johnson?
00:22:10Always have been.
00:22:12Always will be, Mr. Johnson.
00:22:14Cause you my hook of a husband.
00:22:17You better watch yourself after I pull this car over.
00:22:20Come on.
00:22:21Bring it.
00:22:23Love you.
00:22:28Oh, damn.
00:22:29Hey, hey, wait up.
00:22:30Hey.
00:22:31Come on, beautiful.
00:22:32Hey.
00:22:33Wait up.
00:22:34Wait up.
00:22:35Hold up.
00:22:36Hey, listen.
00:22:37Can I carry these groceries for you?
00:22:38No, that's okay.
00:22:39I got it.
00:22:40You shouldn't be carrying your own groceries.
00:22:41Okay.
00:22:42Well, listen.
00:22:43You should just know chivalry ain't dead.
00:22:44You know what I'm saying?
00:22:45There's still some good dudes out here.
00:22:46What's your name?
00:22:47Sandra.
00:22:48Sandra.
00:22:49Oh, wow.
00:22:50Yep.
00:22:51She was a real .
00:22:52Oh, no.
00:22:53Yeah.
00:22:54So, listen.
00:22:55It's a nice little jazz spot I'd love to take you.
00:22:58Jazz?
00:22:59Jazz.
00:23:00You look like hip hop.
00:23:01Oh, come on now, baby.
00:23:02Don't say hip hop.
00:23:03No, no.
00:23:04Jazz.
00:23:05All day.
00:23:06So, I would love to take you.
00:23:07What's your number?
00:23:08I don't think so.
00:23:09Come on.
00:23:10Let me get your number.
00:23:11Come on now.
00:23:12All right.
00:23:13424.
00:23:14424.
00:23:15354.
00:23:167700.
00:23:177700.
00:23:18Got you.
00:23:19All right.
00:23:20Well, I'm definitely going to take you out, so.
00:23:21Okay.
00:23:22I'm going to give you a holler, all right?
00:23:23That's cool.
00:23:24All right.
00:23:25I'm going to talk to you.
00:23:26Okay.
00:23:33So, how did the interview go?
00:23:34We're cool.
00:23:35The girl.
00:23:36That man is fine.
00:23:38Who?
00:23:39The owner.
00:23:40Yeah.
00:23:41He can get it.
00:23:42Okay.
00:23:43Yeah.
00:23:44Okay, wait.
00:23:45Didn't you say he was married?
00:23:46Well, him and his wife own the firm together.
00:23:49She seems nice.
00:23:50Mm-hmm.
00:23:51A little controlling, though.
00:23:52I'm going to watch her.
00:23:53Mm.
00:23:54Yeah.
00:23:55So, you think you got the job?
00:23:56I don't know.
00:23:57I don't know.
00:23:58I don't know.
00:23:59I don't know.
00:24:00They said they'd call me.
00:24:01I feel like it went well.
00:24:06Oh, my God, girl.
00:24:07It's them.
00:24:08Speak of the devil.
00:24:09Pick it up, girl.
00:24:10Pick it up.
00:24:11This is Sandra.
00:24:13Yes.
00:24:15Thank you so very much.
00:24:16I'll be there.
00:24:17First thing tomorrow morning.
00:24:18Thank you both again.
00:24:19Okay.
00:24:20Bye-bye.
00:24:21Oh, my God.
00:24:22That was great, girl.
00:24:23Yes.
00:24:24Great.
00:24:25I got the job, girl.
00:24:26Oh, my God.
00:24:27Oh, my God.
00:24:28Oh, my God.
00:24:29Oh, my God.
00:24:30That was great, girl.
00:24:31Yes.
00:24:32Great.
00:24:33I got the job, girl.
00:24:34Oh, my God.
00:24:35Oh, my God.
00:24:36Oh, my God.
00:24:37Oh, my God.
00:24:38Oh, my God.
00:24:39Okay.
00:24:40Oh, my God.
00:24:41Okay.
00:24:42My mom is going to be so happy.
00:24:44So happy to get me out of here and out there making some money.
00:24:47Mm-hmm.
00:24:48Finally.
00:24:49Girl, looks like things are finally looking up for you now.
00:24:54From your mouth to God's ears.
00:24:56Mm-hmm.
00:24:57Mm-hmm.
00:24:59What's wrong?
00:25:13Nothing.
00:25:14I just thought about my son.
00:25:16Mm-hmm.
00:25:17I can only imagine.
00:25:22You have no idea.
00:25:27Oh, I got to get going.
00:25:34Already?
00:25:35Yeah, it's getting late.
00:25:37And you need to give me a call and let me know how your first date at your new job one.
00:25:42I want all the dirt.
00:25:43I will.
00:25:44All of it.
00:25:45Okay.
00:25:46All right, I'll see you.
00:25:47Okay.
00:25:48Bye.
00:25:49Bye.
00:25:50Bye.
00:26:18Hey.
00:26:19Hi.
00:26:20You're here pretty early this morning.
00:26:22Yeah, well, I like to be about 30 minutes early before work.
00:26:25Impressive.
00:26:26Good A-plus for that.
00:26:27Okay.
00:26:28Well, you'll be stationed right here.
00:26:29We have a sign-in sheet for everyone.
00:26:31Our cards to give away.
00:26:32Barber's is back here, as you know.
00:26:34Barber's is down the hall to the left.
00:26:36And it's pretty much standard stuff.
00:26:38You got your phones here.
00:26:39Four lines for other partners.
00:26:40Two lines for junior partners.
00:26:41Oh.
00:26:42I thought it was just you and your wife.
00:26:44Oh, it's a recent.
00:26:45We merged with Webman Schultz.
00:26:46It's a reputable firm.
00:26:47They have a divorce here for us.
00:26:48Ooh.
00:26:49Maybe you guys could help me with my situation.
00:26:51My ex is putting me through it.
00:26:53Well, I certainly can give you some advice.
00:26:55I'll refer you to someone another we haven't heard of before.
00:26:58Well, I'll have a conference in five minutes.
00:27:00I'll leave you to it.
00:27:01Okay.
00:27:10Good morning.
00:27:11Blake Johnson's office.
00:27:12How can I help you?
00:27:13Yeah.
00:27:14We're having a conference.
00:27:15We're going to work on that.
00:27:16Another five minutes.
00:27:17Okay.
00:27:21Got it.
00:27:22Bye-bye.
00:27:28So, how'd that Carlisle call?
00:27:33Another motion.
00:27:34Mm-hmm.
00:27:35So, what's that girl doing here this early?
00:27:39She said she'd like to come to work early.
00:27:4230 minutes early.
00:27:43Are we paying her for this initiative?
00:27:45No.
00:27:46I like her.
00:27:48Me too.
00:27:53Hi, Ms. Johnson.
00:27:54You have a call on line three?
00:27:55Take a message.
00:27:56To Judge Patterson, it sounds important.
00:27:59Okay.
00:28:00I got to take this.
00:28:01Okay.
00:28:10Are you serious?
00:28:11Sister Janice is adamant about her gumbo being on the menu at the church picnic, but nobody
00:28:17wants to eat that thing.
00:28:19Oh, every year somebody ends up getting sick.
00:28:22It's awful.
00:28:24It's awful.
00:28:25Yes.
00:28:26Yes.
00:28:27Yes.
00:28:28Hey, honey.
00:28:29Hey, honey.
00:28:30Look, let me call you back.
00:28:33Oh.
00:28:34Let me guess.
00:28:35Gossiping with the church ladies again?
00:28:38Well, when you're a Christian, you spend your time doing two things.
00:28:42Build people up and talking them down the neck.
00:28:46So, how was your first day on the job, honey?
00:28:49Pretty nice.
00:28:50Just trying to figure things out over there.
00:28:53So, you know.
00:28:54Oh, that's good.
00:28:56So, Pastor Jones says that Brother Johnson is a very cordial, but a focused man.
00:29:03Is that true?
00:29:04Well, you can't really tell.
00:29:05His wife, if you want to know the truth, is the one who runs the show.
00:29:10Oh.
00:29:11How so?
00:29:12Well, she keeps his books.
00:29:14She manages me.
00:29:15So, she's the boss.
00:29:17Is she nice?
00:29:19Hard to tell.
00:29:20You know?
00:29:21Oh.
00:29:22My back and my neck is killing me.
00:29:26Oh, honey, it's probably from sitting all day.
00:29:31Yeah.
00:29:32I'm going to go take a warm bath.
00:29:35Early morning in the morning.
00:29:37Yeah.
00:29:38Okay.
00:29:39Good night.
00:29:40Good night.
00:30:01Good morning.
00:30:02Good morning.
00:30:03I have your mail for you here.
00:30:06And I have two messages for you.
00:30:07Okay.
00:30:08All right, sweetie.
00:30:09I'll be in my office.
00:30:10Okay.
00:30:11I'll be in there in a minute.
00:30:13Oh.
00:30:14Almost forgot.
00:30:15I got you some coffee.
00:30:16Ah, thank you.
00:30:17But I don't drink coffee.
00:30:18Barbara loves that stuff.
00:30:19You can give it to her.
00:30:21Okay.
00:30:22I'll give it to her.
00:30:23Okay.
00:30:30The Williamson briefs were filed on Thursday.
00:30:32We're still waiting to get a docket number and a court date.
00:30:35Okay, and I'll let her know.
00:30:38Bye-bye.
00:30:47I talked to the clerk four times yesterday.
00:30:49I'm not understanding any of this.
00:30:52Yes.
00:30:54Yeah.
00:30:55Just a moment, please.
00:30:57Come in.
00:30:58Your 10 a.m. is here.
00:31:00Thanks.
00:31:01That's great.
00:31:02Tell them to wait in the conference room, okay?
00:31:03Okay.
00:31:04Okay.
00:31:07Is there anything else?
00:31:08Nothing at all.
00:31:13Yes.
00:31:14Okay.
00:31:15So who do I need to speak to to get this matter cleared up?
00:31:18Fine.
00:31:24Is her attorney here yet?
00:31:25Yes.
00:31:26They are waiting for you in the conference room.
00:31:28Great.
00:31:29By the way, there's an intercom attached to the phone system, so you can reach me from your desk.
00:31:34Okay?
00:31:35Okay.
00:31:36Okay.
00:31:37That makes things a lot easier.
00:31:38Indeed.
00:31:39Blake Johnson Law Firm.
00:31:40How can I help you?
00:31:41Hey, beautiful.
00:31:42I'm sorry.
00:31:43Who's this?
00:31:44It's me, Geffen.
00:31:45We met the other day.
00:31:46Remember, I helped you with your groceries.
00:31:47Oh, hi.
00:31:48Um, can I call you back?
00:31:49I'm at work.
00:31:50Yeah.
00:31:51Real quick.
00:31:52Real quick.
00:31:53Listen, uh, we're going to call you back.
00:31:54I'm at work.
00:31:55Yeah.
00:31:56Real quick.
00:31:57Real quick.
00:31:58Listen, uh, we're going to call you back.
00:31:59I'm at work.
00:32:00I'm at work.
00:32:01I'm at work.
00:32:02I'm at work.
00:32:03I'm at work.
00:32:04I'm at work.
00:32:05I'm at work.
00:32:06I'm at work.
00:32:07Real quick.
00:32:08Real quick.
00:32:09Listen, uh, there's a nice jazz band playing, uh, tomorrow night at the Roxy.
00:32:12I'd love to take you.
00:32:13You want to go?
00:32:16Okay.
00:32:17Okay.
00:32:18That sounds sweet.
00:32:19Haha.
00:32:20Cool.
00:32:21Okay.
00:32:22Go ahead and text me your Addy and, um, I'll pick you up about eight.
00:32:26Okay.
00:32:27I'll text you.
00:32:28Alright.
00:32:29Bye.
00:32:30Bye.
00:32:37Bye.
00:32:38Bye.
00:32:40Bye.
00:32:50Bye.
00:32:52Bye.
00:32:55Bye.
00:32:56Bye.
00:32:58Bye.
00:32:59Bye.
00:33:00Bye.
00:33:01Bye.
00:33:02Hey, honey.
00:33:03Going out?
00:33:04Yeah.
00:33:06Work related?
00:33:07No, Ma. I'm just going to listen to some jazz music.
00:33:10Look, I don't mean to get into your business, Sandra,
00:33:13but I really don't think that dating is the best thing for you right now.
00:33:18Well, it's not really a date, Ma.
00:33:19I'm just meeting up with some friends.
00:33:21We're going to have some drinks and listen to jazz music.
00:33:23That's it.
00:33:25Yeah, but it's still too early,
00:33:27and I don't think it makes sense for you to be going out right now.
00:33:32Why not?
00:33:33Am I supposed to sit around until I'm 60 and lick my wounds?
00:33:36I'm a young woman.
00:33:38You're also a mother and a woman going through a divorce.
00:33:41You don't need to be going to...
00:33:42What I don't need is you treating me like a 12-year-old
00:33:45because I'm staying in your house.
00:33:48Look, Ma, I know you mean well.
00:33:50I know you're concerned, but no need.
00:33:52I'm a big girl. I can manage.
00:33:54I'm just going to listen to some jazz music.
00:33:56That's it.
00:33:57I promise.
00:33:58It's just music.
00:34:00All right.
00:34:01Okay, fine.
00:34:02All right, girl.
00:34:09Get them.
00:34:17How do you like it?
00:34:19It's cute.
00:34:20I like it.
00:34:20I never even knew they do jazz here.
00:34:22Once a month on Thursday.
00:34:23I think they've been doing it for about eight years.
00:34:26Nice.
00:34:26I have to tell you,
00:34:33you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.
00:34:40Hey, this ain't just head game.
00:34:42I mean it.
00:34:43Of course, skillet high.
00:34:45Hey, you are.
00:34:47You are.
00:34:48So tell me about your ex.
00:34:50It's my ex, the b****.
00:34:52She just wasn't happy with herself.
00:34:55We started dating a long time ago.
00:34:57It lasted about eight years.
00:34:59And that was that.
00:35:00But I knew she wasn't, uh, I knew she wasn't my soulmate.
00:35:05Oh, wow.
00:35:05How'd you know that?
00:35:07Because I had met you.
00:35:14So you're a lawyer, huh?
00:35:16I wish.
00:35:17I just work there as an assistant.
00:35:18So what are you, uh, well, a paralegal?
00:35:22No, like a receptionist.
00:35:24A receptionist.
00:35:25Okay.
00:35:26Okay.
00:35:26Hold on.
00:35:27You mean to laugh.
00:35:28Okay.
00:35:29Yeah.
00:35:37Have you seen anybody?
00:35:39Not at the moment.
00:35:41I'm just taking some time off,
00:35:43giving myself a break,
00:35:44focusing on me.
00:35:45You know, here's the thing about breaks.
00:35:50A break can be good
00:35:51if you have the glue it takes
00:35:53to put it back together when you need it.
00:35:55Oh, wow.
00:35:56That sounded like Dr. Dyer.
00:35:59Who?
00:36:00Never mind.
00:36:01It's not important.
00:36:03I really like this place, though.
00:36:05It's cute.
00:36:06I knew you would.
00:36:09Cheers.
00:36:09Cheers.
00:36:15But seriously, he is nice.
00:36:19Girl, are you sure about this?
00:36:20Because he seems a little rough around the edges.
00:36:22Yeah.
00:36:23He is a little street.
00:36:24Not that cute.
00:36:26But.
00:36:27But what?
00:36:28He's nice.
00:36:30Oh.
00:36:30And so far, he's just a distraction.
00:36:32I don't need anything serious right now.
00:36:35Did you sleep with him after your little jazz night?
00:36:37No, I did not.
00:36:38No, I didn't.
00:36:39And he didn't even try.
00:36:40Okay.
00:36:41I'm just checking.
00:36:43Mm-hmm.
00:36:46Besides, Mr. Vibrator has been doing just fine.
00:36:49Until he runs out of batteries.
00:36:50Okay, I'm out of batteries.
00:36:53Right?
00:36:54Yeah.
00:36:57So, what's the latest at the new job?
00:36:59Oh, nothing.
00:37:00It's just a nice place to work, you know?
00:37:02And I think my boss really likes what I'm doing.
00:37:04Oh.
00:37:05He likes what you're doing.
00:37:06Or does he like doing you?
00:37:08Rosaline, you are so trifling.
00:37:10I can't even take you right now.
00:37:11I've only been working there a few days.
00:37:12Can I sleep with him that quick?
00:37:15See?
00:37:19But he is really nice.
00:37:21Well, that's good.
00:37:22That always helps.
00:37:23And I'm thinking about asking him to help me with the divorce.
00:37:26I think he'll say yes.
00:37:28That's really good.
00:37:29Yeah.
00:37:30That would definitely be a load off my back.
00:37:33You need that.
00:37:34I do.
00:37:34Yeah.
00:37:35Shoulders looking a little heavy.
00:37:36A little heavy.
00:37:37Yeah.
00:37:37Too heavy.
00:37:38Like.
00:37:38For too long.
00:37:40This is how it will work out.
00:37:43Hopefully.
00:37:43It will.
00:37:44Believe it.
00:37:46Yes.
00:37:46If you didn't play.
00:37:47Hey, just want to see you see her.
00:37:50Yeah.
00:37:50With no fear.
00:37:52It's like a pain with no skill going down.
00:38:02Hi, Rosaline.
00:38:03What's up, girl?
00:38:03Nothing.
00:38:04Just doing the rounds, you know.
00:38:05And calling for some gossip.
00:38:07How about?
00:38:09Well, how about that cutie pie boss of yours?
00:38:11Girl, stop.
00:38:13But I must admit, he did come in looking yummy today.
00:38:18With that dark black shirt and that grace of time and that s*** mouth.
00:38:24Oh, okay.
00:38:25Tell me more.
00:38:26Tell me more.
00:38:28Okay.
00:38:28Well, I don't know what happened.
00:38:29Last night, but she doesn't say I'm like to show you.
00:38:32Mmm.
00:38:35Oh, I gotta go.
00:38:36All right.
00:38:36Bye.
00:38:37Bye.
00:38:39Okay.
00:38:42Was that a business-related call?
00:38:43Well, you know, I had to have my friend pick my son up from school as an emergency.
00:38:48Oh.
00:38:49Your son wears tarts.
00:38:50Picture day.
00:38:51Of course.
00:38:53I have an important court date tomorrow, so I need you to call the plaintiff's attorney
00:38:57and tell them you'll be faxing over additional discovery items, okay?
00:39:00Okay.
00:39:01No problem.
00:39:02Thanks, Sandra.
00:39:10Yeah, Bob, just want to let you know that I appreciate you.
00:39:13Thank you for your patience.
00:39:16All right, well, I'll see you tomorrow for lunch.
00:39:18Okay.
00:39:18All right.
00:39:19Bye.
00:39:20Hey, honey.
00:39:21Hey, sweetie.
00:39:23Did you mention to Sandra about the policy on phone calls in the office?
00:39:27I may have.
00:39:28Why?
00:39:29Well, I just called her on her cell phone talking to somebody about what you are wearing to
00:39:34work today.
00:39:35I wore to work.
00:39:36Do I look okay?
00:39:38Baby, you look fine.
00:39:39All right?
00:39:40It just made me uncomfortable.
00:39:41That's all.
00:39:42It's probably innocent, eh?
00:39:46Then why'd she lie about it?
00:39:47Made up some cheesy story about her son taking class photos today.
00:39:53I don't know.
00:39:54Her boss catches her doing something wrong.
00:39:57To a little white lie.
00:39:58I don't see anything wrong with it.
00:40:00It's always been my experience, baby.
00:40:02Then when somebody tells a small lie, they'll lie about anything.
00:40:06Right?
00:40:06Yeah.
00:40:09So, you want me to talk to her about it?
00:40:13No.
00:40:14No, no.
00:40:15I'll, uh, keep an eye out on her.
00:40:18Okay.
00:40:36This is what's been going on behind my back?
00:40:38And you have the gall to have this dude running around my house, interacting with my kids?
00:40:45Hey, honey.
00:41:03Hey, mom.
00:41:04Is everything okay, honey?
00:41:13Did something happen at work, honey?
00:41:16No, ma.
00:41:16It's my life.
00:41:17I shouldn't be here.
00:41:18I shouldn't be here with you, living without my son, going through a divorce.
00:41:26I deserve to be happy.
00:41:28You deserve what you put out there, honey.
00:41:31What?
00:41:31A family, a marriage, it's like a job.
00:41:35You can't skate through it.
00:41:36You can't fake it.
00:41:37You can't cheat it, because it won't work.
00:41:40You have to be dedicated to it, and you weren't.
00:41:43I don't care about that.
00:41:45I pay my price, and now I'm going to get what I deserve.
00:41:47And what is that, then?
00:41:49A man that can make me happy.
00:42:15Hey, you.
00:42:16Hey, babe.
00:42:16You almost done?
00:42:17I wish.
00:42:20I have pre-trials in the morning for the last E.K., so I'm going to be here for a few more hours.
00:42:26Well, do you want mama to go get you some food?
00:42:30No, babe.
00:42:31No, you go home and get some rest.
00:42:32I'll just order something later.
00:42:34All right.
00:42:34I'll see you in a few.
00:42:36Love you.
00:42:37Love you, too.
00:42:38Love you.
00:42:39Hmm.
00:42:40Oh, okay.
00:42:41Hmm.
00:42:42Okay.
00:42:47Okay.
00:42:47Let's do it.
00:42:54Okay.
00:44:25Barbara?
00:44:29Hi, it's just me.
00:44:30Hey, what are you doing here?
00:44:32I forgot my house keys on my desk.
00:44:34I was stuck outside my house.
00:44:36I couldn't get in.
00:44:38I'm sorry to hear that.
00:44:40Yeah.
00:44:40Anyway, I'm sorry.
00:44:43I didn't know anyone was still here, and then I heard a noise.
00:44:47Yeah, I'm working on this case when it's pre-trial in the morning.
00:44:51The Delaney case?
00:44:52That's the one, and it seems like it's endless.
00:44:56Anything I can do to help?
00:44:57No, I'll be okay.
00:44:59Well, I'll get you some coffee.
00:45:00I know that'll make it better.
00:45:02Remember, I don't drink coffee, but thank you.
00:45:05I appreciate you.
00:45:09Mr. Johnson, can I ask you something?
00:45:13Sure.
00:45:13How long have you and Ms. Johnson been married?
00:45:19Well...
00:45:19I mean, if it's too personal, you don't have to answer.
00:45:21No, no, it's pretty much public record, so there's no secrets there.
00:45:25About seven years in March.
00:45:27The reason I ask is because I know marriage is supposed to be this sacred institution,
00:45:33but I didn't find mine to be that great.
00:45:36Okay.
00:45:37Have a seat.
00:45:38Oh.
00:45:38So, tell me about your husband and why you all ended your marriage.
00:45:43Well, we both made mistakes, I guess.
00:45:48I mean, he cheated.
00:45:49So, nothing you all could have worked through or sort out?
00:45:54He had the other woman around my kids, and I wasn't having that.
00:45:59I understand how that could be hard for anyone.
00:46:03See, that's why I admire you, Mr. Johnson.
00:46:06You're so focused and God-fearing.
00:46:09I wish she was more like you.
00:46:12Oh, thank you.
00:46:13I just try to be the best husband, best Christian, and hopefully, best boss I can be.
00:46:19The best.
00:46:20Hold on for a second.
00:46:24Hey, babe.
00:46:24Hey, honey.
00:46:26I got the office, but the phone was busy.
00:46:29Are you on the conference call?
00:46:30No, no, and I wasn't aware.
00:46:33Oh, that's true.
00:46:34The line is blocked.
00:46:35Oh, well, maybe the phone's off the hook or something.
00:46:38You know, I checked the phone in the lobby.
00:46:40Okay.
00:46:41Well, I want you to know that I left you dinner and I put the food up in the fridge, okay?
00:46:47Thank you, baby.
00:46:48You're welcome.
00:46:50All right, I love you.
00:46:51I'll see you soon.
00:46:53Okay.
00:46:54Okay.
00:47:00Hmm.
00:47:01Sorry about that.
00:47:06As you were saying.
00:47:07It's okay.
00:47:07I know you still have tons of work to do, so I'll see you in the morning.
00:47:12All right, see you in the morning.
00:47:15Can I just ask you one last thing?
00:47:17Sure.
00:47:17Do you think that maybe next week, if you have time, that you could look over the divorce
00:47:22papers for me?
00:47:24Okay, I'll see if I can squeeze some time in and look over them for you.
00:47:27Yeah.
00:47:28Thank you, Mr. Johnson.
00:47:29I know.
00:47:30You can just call me Stefan.
00:47:32Okay.
00:47:33Stefan.
00:47:36Good night.
00:47:37Hey, babe.
00:47:43Hey, sweetie.
00:47:44Thought you'd be asleep by now.
00:47:45Well, I decided to wait up for my handsome husband.
00:47:48Oh, thank you, babe.
00:47:51So, how did it go?
00:47:53Did you get everything done?
00:47:54Yeah.
00:47:55I'm ready.
00:47:56I'm good.
00:47:57Oh, guess who came by the office tonight?
00:47:59Who?
00:48:01Sandra.
00:48:02Sandra who?
00:48:03Sandra, our assistant, the one who passed the center.
00:48:06Oh, I know who Sandra is.
00:48:08What does she want?
00:48:10Oh, yeah.
00:48:10She forgot something.
00:48:12What was it?
00:48:13What was what?
00:48:14I don't know.
00:48:14What was it that Sandra forgot at the office in the middle of the night?
00:48:18I don't know.
00:48:19Keys.
00:48:20Yeah, she forgot her house.
00:48:21Keys.
00:48:21Keys.
00:48:24You okay, babe?
00:48:25Yeah.
00:48:26Sweetie, I'm fine.
00:48:30Good night.
00:48:31Good night.
00:48:36So, you ready to go?
00:48:56Sure.
00:48:57All right, let's bounce.
00:48:58All right.
00:48:58Are you okay?
00:49:07Are you okay?
00:49:16Oh.
00:49:20Oh, I had a great time.
00:49:23Me too.
00:49:24Yeah.
00:49:24Are you okay to drive?
00:49:26Me?
00:49:27Look a little titsy.
00:49:28I'm cool, I'm cool.
00:49:30Okay.
00:49:32Hey, um, listen, can I get a kiss?
00:49:36Sure.
00:49:39That's it?
00:49:40What?
00:49:40I thought you liked me.
00:49:42I do.
00:49:43Then let me get a real kiss, girl.
00:49:45Look, look, look, look, I really resonate.
00:49:48Come on, come on, come on, are you serious?
00:49:50Come on.
00:49:51Come on, we just won now.
00:49:53What are you doing?
00:49:54What are you doing?
00:49:55Is this what you want?
00:49:56Oh, wait.
00:49:56I love you.
00:50:26So I hope Barbara didn't get too upset about you meeting me here for lunch today.
00:50:42Well, I didn't exactly tell her.
00:50:44You didn't?
00:50:46Sort of.
00:50:47I told her I was meeting with a potential client to discuss possibly having a divorce
00:50:51case.
00:50:52Okay.
00:50:53Cool.
00:50:54What led you to it and what are you expecting out of it?
00:50:57I just want custody of my son.
00:50:59That's it.
00:51:00Let me ask you this.
00:51:01Do you and Barbara have kids?
00:51:03Oh, no.
00:51:04Not yet.
00:51:05We plan to one day.
00:51:06Too busy, huh?
00:51:08Yeah.
00:51:09Yeah.
00:51:10I'm surprised a man as handsome as you hasn't populated the planet yet.
00:51:14I'm sure that's something any woman would want to see grow.
00:51:18Okay.
00:51:19Wow.
00:51:20Never thought about it like that, but...
00:51:21Come on.
00:51:22You have to know how incredibly handsome you are.
00:51:25And I mean that respectfully, of course.
00:51:27No, I appreciate that.
00:51:28And you're attractive for yourself.
00:51:30So back to your opinion of divorce.
00:51:32Who is handling that?
00:51:33Phillips and Welch.
00:51:34Phillips and Welch.
00:51:35Where'd you find them?
00:51:37Internet.
00:51:38Internet.
00:51:39Okay.
00:51:40That might be the first part of your problem right there.
00:51:43The kind of counseling you have is 80% of your verdict.
00:51:46Listen.
00:51:47I was out of work.
00:51:48And they were willing to work with me.
00:51:50Okay?
00:51:51Yeah.
00:51:52I understand.
00:51:53Okay.
00:51:54Yeah.
00:51:55So let me ask you.
00:51:58Are you and Barbara in love?
00:51:59Oh, yeah.
00:52:00It's the love of my life.
00:52:01It's my baby.
00:52:03Nice.
00:52:04Yeah, hold our calls for the next hour.
00:52:05It's like this situation.
00:52:06Okay.
00:52:07Thanks for lunch.
00:52:08You're welcome.
00:52:09Yeah.
00:52:10Yeah.
00:52:11Yeah.
00:52:12Yeah.
00:52:13Yeah.
00:52:14Yeah.
00:52:15Yeah.
00:52:16Yeah.
00:52:17Yeah.
00:52:18Yeah.
00:52:19Yeah.
00:52:20Yeah.
00:52:21Yeah.
00:52:22Yeah.
00:52:23Yeah.
00:52:24Yeah.
00:52:25Yeah.
00:52:26Yeah.
00:52:27Yeah.
00:52:28Yeah.
00:52:29Yeah.
00:52:30Yeah.
00:52:31Yeah.
00:52:32Yeah.
00:52:33Yeah.
00:52:34Yeah.
00:52:35Yeah.
00:52:36Yeah.
00:52:37Yeah.
00:52:38Yeah.
00:52:39Yeah.
00:52:40Yeah.
00:52:41Yeah.
00:52:42Yeah.
00:52:43Yeah.
00:52:44Yeah.
00:52:45Yeah.
00:52:46Yeah.
00:52:47Yeah.
00:52:48Yeah.
00:52:49Yeah.
00:52:50Yeah.
00:52:51Yeah.
00:52:52Yeah.
00:52:53Yeah.
00:52:54Yeah.
00:52:55Yeah.
00:52:56Yeah.
00:52:57Yeah.
00:52:58Yeah.
00:52:59Yeah.
00:53:00Yeah.
00:53:01Let's talk about office decorum, shall we?
00:53:13Yes.
00:53:15There is no fraternizing.
00:53:18We pay you to type, file, and take messages.
00:53:23Now, is there anything that may be unclear about that?
00:53:26No, ma'am.
00:53:28Now, that man in there, he's my husband.
00:53:30And he's my partner.
00:53:33And any distractions of any sort take away from our business.
00:53:38Is that clear?
00:53:41I just want to make it clear that it was not my intention.
00:53:44You don't need to make clear your intentions because there shouldn't be any.
00:53:48Just type, file, and take messages.
00:53:53Yes, ma'am.
00:53:56Oh, and by the way, Sandra, if you ever give my husband flowers again, I promise you
00:54:06I will fire you on the spot.
00:54:08I'm so glad we're clear.
00:54:09I was just...
00:54:10I'm so glad we're clear.
00:54:12I don't know.
00:54:42Hey.
00:54:43I need you to have me scan and rush to the Santa Monica Core House before they close, okay?
00:54:46Okay.
00:54:47Everything okay?
00:54:48Not really.
00:54:49No.
00:54:50What's wrong?
00:54:51I'm going through a lot right now with the divorce.
00:54:53And I just, I can't handle too much more pressure.
00:54:56What kind of pressure?
00:54:57Ms. Johnson.
00:54:58She just said she'll fire me if I don't do things right around here.
00:55:02And I can't.
00:55:03I can't.
00:55:05I'm sorry.
00:55:07I'll try harder.
00:55:08I really enjoy working here.
00:55:09No, no, no.
00:55:10It's okay.
00:55:11All right?
00:55:12Don't worry about it.
00:55:13Okay.
00:55:14Thank you so much.
00:55:15Oh, Ms. Johnson.
00:55:16Yes.
00:55:17Can I have a word with you?
00:55:18Sure, please.
00:55:19I just really want to say that I'm sorry and I'll do better.
00:55:21Hey, babe.
00:55:22Everything okay?
00:55:23Yeah.
00:55:24Yeah.
00:55:25Just a little tired.
00:55:26Just a little tired.
00:55:27Just a little tired.
00:55:28Well, maybe my sweetheart.
00:55:29Well, maybe my sweetheart needs to take.
00:55:30the rest of the day.
00:55:31off.
00:55:32Mm-hmm.
00:55:33Mm-hmm.
00:55:34Mm-hmm.
00:55:35Mm-hmm.
00:55:36I wish I could.
00:55:37I do.
00:55:38but I can't.
00:55:39That feels good.
00:55:40Yeah.
00:55:41Well, you know what?
00:55:42I think my beautiful husband deserves a vacation.
00:55:45Mm-hmm.
00:55:46I wish I could.
00:55:47I do.
00:55:48But I can't.
00:55:49That feels good.
00:55:50Yeah.
00:55:51Well, you know what?
00:55:52I think my beautiful husband deserves a vacation.
00:55:56Mm-hmm.
00:55:57We both do.
00:55:58Let me ask you something, babe.
00:55:59What do you think about Sandra?
00:56:00What do you mean?
00:56:01I mean, I'm just a little tired.
00:56:02I'm just a little tired.
00:56:04Well, maybe my sweetheart needs to take the rest of the day off.
00:56:06Mm-hmm.
00:56:07I wish I could.
00:56:08I do.
00:56:09But I can't.
00:56:10That feels good.
00:56:11Yeah.
00:56:12Well, you know what?
00:56:13I think my beautiful husband deserves a vacation.
00:56:14Mm-hmm.
00:56:15We both do.
00:56:16Mm-hmm.
00:56:17Let me ask you something, babe.
00:56:18What?
00:56:19What do you think about Sandra?
00:56:20You think she's doing a good job?
00:56:23She's okay.
00:56:25I mean, I don't agree with everything that she does, but, you know, it hasn't been that
00:56:32long, so we'll see.
00:56:34So, I think you might be a little too hard on her.
00:56:38You know, she's going through a lot with her divorce and everything.
00:56:41Mm.
00:56:42Oh.
00:56:43Really?
00:56:44Mm.
00:56:45Yeah, that was good.
00:56:46Fine.
00:56:47Mm.
00:56:48Mm.
00:56:49See you at home.
00:56:50Okay, babe.
00:56:51Dinner's in the oven.
00:56:52Okay, babe.
00:56:53Okay.
00:56:54I have a mediation meeting.
00:56:55I'm heading out, so just hold on.
00:56:56I'll just...
00:56:57Okay.
00:56:58No problem.
00:57:01I have a mediation meeting.
00:57:02I'm heading out, so just hold on.
00:57:03Just...
00:57:04Okay, no problem.
00:57:06I have a mediation meeting.
00:57:07I'm heading out, so just hold on.
00:57:08I'll just...
00:57:09Okay, no problem.
00:57:11Bye.
00:57:41Hi, Stefan. Do you need anything?
00:57:44Uh, a good masseuse.
00:57:46Funny you should say that.
00:57:48I have a license, and I know exactly what you need.
00:57:51No, that's okay. I'm fine.
00:57:52No, no, no. You listen to my divorce drama,
00:57:54so that's the least I can do.
00:57:56Wow. That's pretty good, but, uh...
00:57:59See? I earned that license. I didn't just get it.
00:58:02I, uh, talked to Barbara about the, uh...
00:58:05Wait, wait, wait.
00:58:11I picked up a bottle of wine at Trader Joe's.
00:58:26But the day that you're having me look...
00:58:29Come on. Come on. You don't drink coffee, so...
00:58:32Guess one glass won't hurt.
00:58:35Well, if you don't tell, I won't.
00:58:37Yeah, Barbara's gonna kill me.
00:58:39Okay.
00:58:42Mmm. Tastes expensive.
00:58:45Trader Joe's. Three dollars.
00:58:47So two putting Chuck done raises prices, huh?
00:58:50Yes.
00:58:51Mmm. Thank you, Sonia.
00:58:54No. Thank you. Thank...
00:58:57Hey, what are you doing?
00:58:59Nothing.
00:59:00Take this and just... just go.
00:59:02I didn't need anything by it.
00:59:04I just think that you're a kind, beautiful man, Stefan.
00:59:10Well, I'm also a married man, so don't you forget that.
00:59:12Alright?
00:59:13Alright?
00:59:14I'm sorry.
00:59:15Hey, girl. I came as soon as I could.
00:59:32Now, what the hell happened? That was such an emergency.
00:59:34Laziness. Let me tell you what happened at my job today.
00:59:37Okay. I'm all ears.
00:59:39So you know how I've been telling you about my boss, right?
00:59:41And how nice and how cute he is?
00:59:43Yeah.
00:59:44I go into his office. He looks tense, so I offer him a massage.
00:59:48Then...
00:59:49You had sex with...
00:59:50No, no, no. I offer him some wine, thinking that would relax him.
00:59:53He pushed me off of him, and now I think I'm gonna lose my job.
00:59:57Now, why would he push you away, besides the fact that he's married?
01:00:01Okay, but didn't you say he was going through some issues with his wife?
01:00:04You think you're gonna get fired?
01:00:07I don't know. I don't know.
01:00:10And he did say it mean.
01:00:15Well, try to be positive.
01:00:19I mean, he hasn't fired you, right? Not yet.
01:00:23Hold on, Rozzy.
01:00:25Hey, babe. I can't talk right now. I'll call you back, okay?
01:00:32I don't know.
01:00:35So, just going to work tomorrow? Like nothing happened. Be professional.
01:00:40I really hope this does not mess up my job.
01:00:44Well, I mean, try not to think the worst.
01:00:47See, this is what happens when you try to be nice to people.
01:00:50I offered him a massage, and this is what happens.
01:00:53It's simple. We fire her.
01:01:00Hey, we can't quite do that. Why not?
01:01:02I mean, think about it. It was just me and her in here. She can claim anything. It's my word against hers.
01:01:09I cannot believe she came on to you like that.
01:01:11I know, I know. And I shouldn't have had that drink. I feel like such an idiot, babe. I'm sorry.
01:01:16Yeah, you should not have, baby. It was very unprofessional.
01:01:18And yes, you can be gullible sometimes, and this is definitely one of those times, alright?
01:01:25I know. I'm sorry, babe. I really never saw that coming from her. I didn't think she was that type.
01:01:29I say we give her ass until the end of the week, and then we let her go.
01:01:36Okay.
01:01:48I'm not going to tell her what's going on. I just make her think that we can't afford her, and she'll never expect the real reason why.
01:01:55Alright, sounds good. Yeah. Alright, let me get some of these case files going, and I'll see you at the Richardson Depot in an hour.
01:02:10Sorry, babe. So am I.
01:02:21Good morning. I didn't hear you come in.
01:02:23Oh yeah, I just got in.
01:02:25Okay, no problem. We have a fairly busy day today. I know that Stefan has meetings, and I also have some conference calls, the better part of the morning.
01:02:35Would you like me to hold all of your calls?
01:02:37Yes, please. Oh, and by the way, thank you for taking our little conversation into consideration.
01:02:44Yes, ma'am.
01:02:53Good morning, Stefan.
01:03:03Blake Johnson Law Firm. This is Sandra. How can I help you?
01:03:09Sure, but I'll have to take a message.
01:03:13Okay. Okay. Got it.
01:03:17Blake Johnson Law Firm. This is Sandra speaking. How can I help you?
01:03:35Sure, can I take a message? Okay. Okay. Thanks. Oh, Mr. Johnson.
01:03:44Yeah.
01:03:45I don't mean to bother you, but I was wondering, did you give any more thought to my divorce situation?
01:03:50Well, honestly, Sandra, after discussing with Barbara, we feel it'll be a conflict. You know, you working here and all. We do understand, right?
01:03:57But you said you would help.
01:03:59What I said was I would look over them. With all the cases coming in, I won't be able to get to it, so just try another firm.
01:04:05Ask some folks I can refer you, though.
01:04:07Of course. No worries.
01:04:08Okay.
01:04:12Good night.
01:04:13Oh, my God.
01:04:24I need to ask you a favor.
01:04:44Okay.
01:04:46I've been having some real issues with my boss lately, and I need some help.
01:04:51Uh-huh.
01:04:52Street help.
01:04:53Somebody to let him know what's up.
01:04:56He's been touching, feeling on me.
01:04:59I'm sick and tired of it.
01:05:00It's affecting me at work.
01:05:02I don't know what to do.
01:05:06I got you.
01:05:08So does this make you my woman now?
01:05:11If you're willing to do this for me, I know you care about me.
01:05:16Yeah, you're my boyfriend.
01:05:19Cool.
01:05:19I'll see you.
01:05:26I don't know.
01:05:30I'm sorry.
01:05:32You're my boyfriend.
01:05:32I'm sorry.
01:05:33I'm sorry.
01:05:33I don't know.
01:05:34I don't know.
01:05:34I don't know.
01:05:35I can't help you out.
01:05:35Hi Stephen, Mr. Dawson's counsel will call if they ask that you return.
01:05:55Okay.
01:05:56And he also mentioned between 1 and 2, he'll be out of reach because he'll be in court,
01:06:01but you can email him.
01:06:02Okay, got it.
01:06:03Okay.
01:06:04Oh and Sandra.
01:06:05Yes.
01:06:06Use an intercom next time.
01:06:07Okay.
01:06:08Okay, Mr. Dawson.
01:06:12Okay, so the trial judge was just not having it.
01:06:23I mean, three objections in two minutes.
01:06:26It was insane.
01:06:27He is a bit of a hard ass.
01:06:28He's been on the bench for like a hundred years.
01:06:30So, you know, he's old school.
01:06:32Oh my gosh.
01:06:33I wish you had been there.
01:06:34How was your day though?
01:06:36Long.
01:06:37Stressful.
01:06:38A couple of new clients.
01:06:40Trying to sort out their cases now.
01:06:43I'm leaving for the day.
01:06:44Did you guys need anything else?
01:06:45Nothing.
01:06:46We're fine.
01:06:48See you tomorrow.
01:06:49Okay.
01:06:50Bye.
01:06:51Yeah.
01:06:52I'm on my way.
01:06:53I'm leaving now.
01:06:54Meet me on Clover and Wilshire.
01:06:55Got it.
01:06:56You notice how strange she's been acting all day?
01:07:01Nothing in particular.
01:07:02Why?
01:07:03I don't know.
01:07:04I don't know.
01:07:05I don't trust that girl.
01:07:06Not at all.
01:07:07Two days, babe.
01:07:08Two days.
01:07:09Two days and she's out.
01:07:10What you want to eat tonight?
01:07:14No, no.
01:07:15Two days, babe.
01:07:20I don't know.
01:07:21I don't trust that girl.
01:07:23Not at all.
01:07:24Two days, babe.
01:07:25Two days and she's out.
01:07:28and she's out.
01:07:30What you want to eat tonight?
01:07:46What's up?
01:07:47Oh, what's good?
01:07:49So you really want to do this?
01:07:51Yes.
01:07:52Dude must have really pissed you off.
01:07:54Yeah, he did.
01:07:55We'll handle it.
01:07:58You know what?
01:07:59I'm so glad I met you.
01:08:01Yeah, me too.
01:08:07Okay, baby.
01:08:08I'm heading out.
01:08:09And what about you?
01:08:10You almost done?
01:08:12It's a couple more hours to knock this out.
01:08:14But don't wait up.
01:08:16Guess that means we're not going to have Chinese tonight, huh?
01:08:19Yeah.
01:08:21It's all right.
01:08:22I'll leave you something.
01:08:23Love you, Mr. Johnson.
01:08:25Love you too, Mrs. Johnson.
01:08:27Hold on one second.
01:08:40Hey girl, it's me.
01:08:42What's up, Rosalyn?
01:08:44Okay, real quick.
01:08:45I've been thinking more about your work situation and honestly, I think it's a little bit too close for comfort, girl.
01:08:50You might want to think about finding something else.
01:08:53Okay, let me call you back.
01:08:55Uh, okay, sure.
01:09:05Did you get my text message?
01:09:07Yeah, I got your text.
01:09:08Sweet 208, right?
01:09:09Yes.
01:09:10Did you need the door unlocked?
01:09:11No, but I have a key.
01:09:13Alright.
01:09:14What time is a good time?
