00:00Previously on The Guardian
00:30You've got a problem, all right? Now fix it.
00:33So Jake negotiated this deal.
00:36And Myers is pleased. That's all that matters.
00:38I have got to know that whoever takes over for me feels exactly the same way.
00:48Yeah.
00:54Did you have a second?
00:56Uh, it's not a good time.
00:57Really, my grandmother fell and broke her leg in a nursing home, and I have to go.
01:02I'm sorry.
01:03Can we talk later?
01:05Okay, sure.
01:07Uh, Nick.
01:13What happened yesterday?
01:15That was a mistake.
01:16I take full responsibility for what I did, but I shouldn't have done it.
01:20I was nervous about the house and about getting married, and I was, and I am, curious about you.
01:27I've been curious.
01:30And, well, I guess you were kind of like my bachelorette party.
01:35I was what?
01:35I mean, not like that.
01:37I didn't mean it like that.
01:40Well, God, that was cruel and stupid, and I didn't mean to compare you to something like that.
01:45Something that's so, just...
01:48Meaningless.
01:49It wasn't.
01:55I'm going to marry Brian and live in that house with him, and that's what I want to do with my life.
02:04I guess what I'm trying to say is that we shouldn't really see each other anymore, you know, at all, if we can help it.
02:11You guess.
02:12No, I know.
02:15You're good.
02:18I'm sorry, I gotta go.
02:19Okay, sure.
02:19I am sentencing you to 1,500 hours of community service, using your skills as a corporate attorney to work as a child advocate.
02:49Thank you, sir.
03:18Yeah.
03:19Preliminary samples showed traces of benzene, toluene, and sulfuric acid in the soil.
03:24Mr. Van Gergen, there are underground storage tanks that leak gasoline and discarded coke from the coal mine.
03:30How much to clean it up?
03:31The impact assessment report suggests two, three million.
03:34Ah, too risky.
03:36Uh, well, cut the offer to 12 million.
03:39Eight months ago, that property was appraised in escrow at 20 million.
03:43Eight months ago, there weren't three separate citizen groups for testing and development.
03:46Eight months ago, they didn't know what the levels of toxic build up there.
03:50Twelve it is.
03:51I want to buy Vextus Corporation.
03:55Are they for sale?
03:56No.
03:57So this is hostile?
03:59Pile the tender, offer documents with the SEC, and get this thing rolling.
04:05Is there a problem?
04:08No problem.
04:09You know, I started with my last attorney when he was about your age.
04:12Why'd you leave?
04:13He did good deals, not great ones.
04:16He liked playing golf and sending presents.
04:18I thought being slick was a decent excuse for missing the small stuff.
04:22I get it.
04:22I don't want to be friends, Nick.
04:24I'll call the railroad's attorney and set the meeting.
04:26Great.
04:29Hey.
04:30I just left a meeting with Myers.
04:32Okay.
04:32He wants to orchestrate a hostile takeover of Vextus, and he wants them to take the lead.
04:36Well, did you tell him you can't do security's work?
04:38Well, I was thinking maybe we could work together on this.
04:44Can't do anything till after four.
04:45Okay.
04:46I'll clear it with Burton.
04:50Did your father get the appointment?
04:51Don't know.
04:55Nick Fallon, right?
04:57Yeah.
04:58Mitchell Lickman.
04:59We're going to be working together.
05:01We are?
05:02Yeah.
05:02My boss and I have been looking forward to this day for a very long time.
05:08What's Senator Caldwell done here?
05:10I don't know.
05:10Morning, everybody.
05:12If I could have your attention for just a second here, it gives me a great deal of pleasure
05:16to introduce our new senior partner, Senator Nathan Caldwell.
05:21That's former Senator Burton.
05:22Well.
05:23Gotta remember that.
05:23And our new associate, he was the chief of staff for the Senator at the State Senate.
05:32Yale Law, class of 93, if I'm not mistaken, Mitchell Lickman.
05:40I'm just here to be a team player, and I'm looking forward to working with every one of you.
05:44Good enough.
05:45Yeah.
05:45Nathan, you want to say a couple words?
05:47Well, sure.
05:48Thank you, Burton.
05:49I had the honor of being a public servant for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
05:53for almost 30 years.
05:56But as rewarding and exciting as public service was, too often, it was about watching your
06:02back instead of doing your job.
06:05So I'm happy and proud to be joining this prestigious firm and getting the chance to practice in our
06:13noble profession once again, where it's all about the work and not about the politics.
06:19So I thank you.
06:23You're welcome.
06:26Excuse me.
06:28Yes, ma'am.
06:28I'm looking for Rose Valente's room.
06:32There.
06:38We'll be back to check on you.
06:46Hey, Nana.
06:46Nana, it's Lulu.
06:54Are you going to wear that?
06:59What do you mean?
07:01To school.
07:02That outfit.
07:06Well, what's wrong with what I'm wearing, huh?
07:09Pants, Caroline.
07:10In school?
07:12Well, you can't wear pants.
07:14I'm Lulu, Nana.
07:18And that shirt.
07:19I can almost see your breasts.
07:22I can see down your shirt.
07:24Okay.
07:25I'll change.
07:26Principal Evans is going to just send you right back home.
07:29The minute you walk into the school, he'll just call me and make me come and get you.
07:34Okay.
07:35I'm going to change my clothes.
07:36Oh, what happened, Nana, huh?
07:42Did you fall?
07:44When?
07:46Yesterday.
07:47Did you fall?
07:49I did no such thing.
07:51Well, what happened?
07:53I locked up the shop at 5.30.
07:56I was home at 5.45 to make dinner for your father.
07:59I certainly did not stop at Marianne's house to play cards.
08:04Nana, Nana, listen to me.
08:06You broke your leg.
08:10I did?
08:11Yes.
08:13And the man at the nursing home said that you fell out of your bed.
08:18I fought him.
08:21And I...
08:21I played dead like a possum.
08:24I played dead so he'd stop.
08:27What?
08:27I soiled myself.
08:29I wanted new sheets.
08:36Caroline, please change your clothes before your father comes down.
08:42He'll be so upset with me for letting you dress that way.
08:46Oh, my God.
08:47Nana, was someone choking you?
09:02Quick.
09:03Like a bunny, Caroline, quick.
09:05Nana.
09:05Nana.
09:12I love you.
09:13I love you, too.
09:17Mr. Caldwell, I'll ask Mitchell to go through our client list.
09:46They're looking for some potential conflicts, and evidently they found some problem.
09:52Okay.
09:53It's Van Gergen.
09:54What about him?
09:56I'm afraid we can't represent him right now.
09:59What?
09:59You gotta drop him.
10:01Well, I've been trying to land him for two years.
10:03He's the biggest developer in the city.
10:06I'm not just gonna drop him.
10:07This firm cannot be involved with the Angel's landing deal.
10:11It's the only deal I have with him.
10:12If you go forward, you will expose the senator to potential criminal liability.
10:17Build a Chinese wall around yourself.
10:20I'm not comfortable with that.
10:23Why are you letting these guys just walk in here and call the shots?
10:25Wait, wait, son.
10:26If the senator's dealings as a legislator presents a problem to his work in private practice,
10:31then the senator shouldn't be here.
10:36Nathan Mitchell, would you excuse us for just a second, please?
10:40Sure.
10:46What the hell was that?
10:48I'm sorry about this, Nicholas.
10:50You tell Caldwell to push back a few weeks.
10:52Look, I know Van Gergen is a big client, but Caldwell will bring in ten more just like him.
10:58Yes, but they will be Caldwell's clients.
11:01Nicholas, sometimes you...
11:03You gotta think about the firm.
11:09I know you're upset.
11:14The senator promises he will make it up to you.
11:17We want to set up a government relations office here at Fallon.
11:20We think you would be a great lobbyist.
11:21I don't like politics.
11:23Listen, Nick, I know you don't like me being here.
11:25Okay, believe me, I would much rather be back in Harrisburg.
11:28As far as this Angel's landing deal goes, you gotta understand,
11:31the senator and I were intimately involved with this.
11:33We're not nitpicking here.
11:34We're just doing what's right.
11:35It costs me a million-dollar-a-year client.
11:45This Chinese wall.
11:48How do you propose doing that?
11:50You and the senator would be kept out of all dealings in regards to this property.
11:53No correspondence.
11:54I would distribute a memo firm-wide stating that no information, no information in regards
12:00to this deal will pass by your eyes.
12:03This would leave the senator at risk.
12:05If we disclose a legislative secret and get caught, it's a felony.
12:08The only way he would be in trouble is if he opened his mouth.
12:11Or you.
12:11You two are in complete control as to whether you reveal any legislative secret.
12:17If I can get the senator to agree to this.
12:20Yes.
12:21You share Van Gergen with me.
12:23From now on.
12:24I thought you couldn't have any involvement.
12:26Not with this deal.
12:28But with every deal that follows.
12:31This is very convenient for you.
12:33You create a conflict, you compromise my client, and you profit from fixing it.
12:39Do we have a deal or not?
12:59You're in the right.
13:00Have we met?
13:21I'm Louisa Archer.
13:23My grandmother Rose is a resident here.
13:26Could you come back and say about half an hour?
13:30I'm leaning toward the manual cranks, though.
13:35Electrical units always break.
13:37So, of course, we spoke earlier today.
13:38That's right, and you told me that she fell out of her bed.
13:41That's what my staff reported.
13:43She has bruises all over her neck and all over her arms, like she was pinned down or something.
13:47And she told me that she was attacked because she wet her bed.
13:50Miss Archer, if I thought that any of my employees was capable of such a thing, I would immediately suspend them and report the matter to the authorities.
14:00We keep the stroke victims and the Alzheimer's patients down in this ward.
14:15Now, most of the time, they don't know what time it is or where they are.
14:29Excuse me, Martha.
14:29How are you doing, sweetheart?
14:30Hey, Ruthie.
14:35Unfortunately, there's a high incidence of accidents, especially among the Alzheimer's patients.
14:41The disease affects brain function, so it's not uncommon for one of our residents to fall.
14:47No one on our staff would intentionally harm a patient, Miss Archer, I assure you.
14:51Well, I appreciate that.
14:57I'm... I feel much better.
15:09When a loved one is in this position, we often feel guilty about it.
15:13Sometimes we want to blame other people for what is really just happening naturally.
15:18Mr. Kent, please pick up line one.
15:21Excuse me.
15:21Mr. Kent, please pick up line one.
15:34Alice?
15:35Oh, are you here to play the piano?
15:38Alice, I'm Rose's granddaughter, Lulu.
15:42Oh, how is she?
15:44Well, she broke her leg, but they're going to bring her back here this afternoon.
15:48Oh.
15:48Alice, I was wondering if I could talk to you about her.
15:56She told me she was going to slit my throat.
16:00Rose said that?
16:01She told me she's going to do it in the middle of the night when I'm asleep.
16:04Oh, no.
16:05No, no.
16:07Well, she can be nice, but some days she can be very abusive.
16:12She has Alzheimer's, you know.
16:13So does everybody else around here.
16:16Alice, she said something to me about one of the orderlies attacking her last night.
16:22Did you see anything?
16:23The man that does nights, he just started here, and he doesn't want to put her diaper on.
16:33Rose peed the bed, started to call out, and no one came.
16:38So she got louder and louder, and finally the man come in the room and told her to shut up.
16:49And Rose yelled back at him.
16:51He grabbed her around the neck and picked her up and dropped her on the floor.
16:56And you saw all of this?
17:01Alice?
17:04Alice, did you know that man's name?
17:08Did you say that he works here at night?
17:17Yeah.
17:18Bernie?
17:21Uh, thanks again for giving me the Wade Myers account.
17:25Oh, you deserve it, Jake.
17:27You would have walked if you hadn't pulled off that deal.
17:30Oh, thanks.
17:32Um, he just, he came in, and, um...
17:35What?
17:38Uh, Wade Myers.
17:40He, he wants me to take the lead in a hostile takeover with Vexus.
17:44You tell him about your situation?
17:47No, uh...
17:48No.
17:52I'm calling right now.
17:54Well, I was hoping maybe, um, I mean, I was hoping maybe you'd let me choose someone to cover the deal for me,
17:59and let me work behind the scenes.
18:03Jake, we agreed with the SEC that you won't do any, uh, public securities work.
18:09Well, at least, would you let me hand it off to someone?
18:12I mean, I, I did hold on to him.
18:13I, I did keep him here.
18:14Oh, Nathan, uh, this is Jake Strocka.
18:20Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Strocka.
18:21Yes, I, I, I think the work you did in the state senate was terrific, really terrific,
18:25and I'm just really excited to be working with you.
18:27Appreciate it.
18:28Well, okay.
18:35Um, thanks.
18:36So, Nathan, have you considered, uh, Nick's proposition?
18:40I have.
18:41And?
18:44Well, I'm the only person at risk here, Nicholas.
18:48Myself and Mitchell.
18:49I understand that.
18:50So, a few ground rules.
18:55If I see anything, anything at all,
18:59or if I even suspect that there's been some sort of slip or misunderstanding,
19:03you terminate your representation immediately.
19:07Meanwhile, I'll also be seeking a confidential advisory opinion from the state ethics commission.
19:12Of course.
19:13Okay?
19:14Yeah, great.
19:20What do you think?
19:26Well, it depends on what the state's planning to do.
19:30That property could be virtually worthless, or...
19:32Or it could be worth a whole lot more than the railroad is asking.
19:35Oh, but I suggest you, uh, find a way to protect your client under either scenario.
19:41By the way, what, uh, what'd you trade him?
19:44Excuse me?
19:45The kid, Mitchell.
19:47What kind of deal you make with him?
19:48Cut him in on Van Gergen.
19:51How much?
19:53Half the source credit of all future work.
20:06Mitchell.
20:07Jake Strachan.
20:08Yeah, we met.
20:09Yeah, uh, do you have a second?
20:14Thanks.
20:17I have a proposal.
20:18Okay.
20:21You ever do any securities work?
20:22A bit, when I was with Sager and Tremaine.
20:25I have a, uh, client, Wade Myers, and he's planning a takeover, and he wants me to oversee
20:29the deal.
20:30What's your proposal?
20:31I want to share the deal with you and the senator.
20:32The deal or the client?
20:34The deal.
20:35And what do we do for you?
20:36Well, I happen to know that, uh, state law prohibits you and Senator Caldwell from practicing
20:41any lobbying work for one year.
20:43And I'd be stupid if I didn't assume the two of you going back into private practice
20:46didn't mean that you wanted to set up a government relations department.
20:49Okay.
20:50So, make me the point, man, on this.
20:52Register me as a lobbyist and cut me in for one third of the business.
20:55For one deal?
20:59For Wade Myers.
21:00You'll give him to us?
21:01If this senator goes for my proposal.
21:05Okay, Jake, one question.
21:08Is he yours to give?
21:11Yes, I believe he is.
21:13I think my grandmother was attacked in her nursing home.
21:24You think?
21:25My grandmother told me and, uh, her roommate confirmed it.
21:28Were you filed a complaint?
21:30I called the police and they referred me to the Department of Aging.
21:32What'd they do?
21:34Absolutely nothing.
21:35They said there was insufficient evidence to file a report.
21:38Where's your grandma now?
21:39They're gonna send her back there this afternoon.
21:41You gotta get her out of here.
21:42I can't.
21:44I'm not her guardian.
21:46My mother...
21:48My mother moved up to Vermont with some guy named Glenn
21:54and she basically blew my grandmother off.
21:56She left her in the home and she turned her care over to some
21:59corporation in Harrisburg who won't move her.
22:03Well, I can help you file a petition to appoint you the new guardian.
22:07Yeah.
22:08What is it?
22:09Even if I get her out of there, I can't afford to put her in a better home.
22:15You can always file a lawsuit against the nursing home to pay down her new accommodations.
22:23Mr. Fallon, I'm very sorry to disturb you, but a woman named Louisa Archer is here to see you.
22:27Okay?
22:30Ms. Archer, he'll be a minute.
22:32May I get you an espresso or bottled water?
22:34No, thank you.
22:34I'll just wait.
22:34What are you doing here?
22:45I need help with my grandmother.
22:47I want to sue her nursing home.
22:50Come here.
22:50They're definitely guilty of neglect, if not outright abuse.
22:55They claim that she fell out of her bed, but I have very strong suspicions that she was attacked.
22:58Can your grandmother corroborate this?
23:00She has Alzheimer's, but her roommate saw the whole thing.
23:04Is she willing to testify?
23:05I don't know.
23:06Maybe.
23:06She might.
23:07Okay, take me out there and let me talk to her.
23:12Thanks.
23:13Hey, Lulu.
23:14What are you doing here?
23:15I just stopped by to see Nick.
23:16Oh, great.
23:16Great.
23:17Jake, could you do some research for me?
23:19Could you check to see if there's any legislative history or appropriation bills on Angel's Landing?
23:23Wait, you haven't done that yet?
23:24Well, I haven't had a reason to until now.
23:26Well, um, Nick, I can't.
23:29You ready, Mr. Straka?
23:30Let's do it.
23:37Oh, your grandmother just got back an hour ago.
23:43She's resting comfortably.
23:45We'd like to see a list of all the people that were working the night that Rose Villan had her fall.
23:49I'm sorry, Mr. Fallon.
23:55Mr. Fallon, I'm afraid the information you're asking for is confidential.
24:00If you'd like to schedule another time, I'd be glad to have my lawyer present.
24:04Where are you going?
24:05To see my grandmother.
24:07I don't think you need your lawyer here for me to do that.
24:11I'd just like to talk to the people that were here that night to put our mind at ease.
24:15I'm not comfortable doing that.
24:17No.
24:17We will pursue legal action.
24:27Alice isn't here.
24:28Um, the nurse on call said that she went out with her daughter.
24:32Well, I can come back.
24:34Nana Rose, this is my friend Nick.
24:35Hi.
24:36My love.
24:37I, no, Nana.
24:39This is, this is my friend Nick.
24:41My love.
24:42Nana.
24:44Come here.
24:46I know.
24:47You have to go soon.
24:48I know.
24:50Oh, you smell so good.
24:51I miss that.
24:52I miss that.
24:54When you were away, I used to lie up at night and miss that.
24:58Nana.
24:58Can we go soon?
25:01I want to drive away.
25:03We could just go and find a place where it's quiet and stay there as long as we can before
25:10anybody notices we've left.
25:13My love.
25:14Can we do that now?
25:17Can we?
25:19Of course.
25:20Of course we can.
25:22I missed you so much.
25:23I thought you were dead.
25:28She, she thinks that you're my grandfather.
25:32He died 20 years ago, you know.
25:34And she just really loved him a lot.
25:36It's just, I'm sorry.
25:38This is probably the last thing you want to be doing right now.
25:40It's okay.
25:41Okay.
25:41Nice to meet you, Rose.
26:04Mr. Barnes, we appreciate you coming in.
26:06No problem.
26:07We've been dealing with Mr. Henninger.
26:08He's left the firm.
26:09I'm handling all of Midland Atlantic Railroad's business.
26:12Okay.
26:13We want to buy a six-month option on the property.
26:17An option?
26:19Six months at $800,000 with a purchase price of $16 million.
26:23We want to sell this property, not option it.
26:26Well, there's way too many variables on the property.
26:28The railroad wants this property off its books by the end of the quarter.
26:31An option doesn't do it.
26:39Sorry, we, uh, we can't make that deal.
26:42Okay.
26:49Gentlemen.
26:52What now?
26:54We move on.
27:01Angel's landing deal fell through.
27:03Why?
27:04I wasn't comfortable advising my client to purchase the property outright.
27:11Environmental issues have him worried?
27:13Yeah.
27:14Concerned about the public outcry?
27:16Well, to a degree.
27:17Well, he's not the first to walk away.
27:20Our deal's off, so don't expect a piece of the Van Gergen business.
27:22Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
27:23Hold on.
27:24You made that deal with the senator and me.
27:26I paved the way.
27:27No, you manipulated the deal.
27:29Now, had we made the Angel's Landing purchase, I would have honored it.
27:32But there is not a chance in hell I'm handing my client over to you now.
27:36Are you saying you told your client to walk away because I made you nervous about the deal?
27:40Wait.
27:41Uh, good to see you.
27:42I'm glad to be working with you again.
27:44Wait.
27:45Thanks for coming by.
27:46Um, we're getting started in a moment.
27:47We're going to be writing the conference room.
27:48We'll be right in.
27:49All right.
27:52Um, Mitchell, could you give us a second?
27:54Yeah.
27:58Nick, uh, I handed the Myers deal off to Mitchell.
28:04Um, I mean, you said you were busy and, well, I handed it off to Mitchell.
28:07No, fine, fine, fine, fine.
28:10No hard feelings.
28:14No, I'm looking for Rose Valent and her roommate, Alice.
28:42I'm Alice.
28:42Who are you?
28:44Uh, Nicholas Fallon.
28:47I'm, um, I work with Rose's granddaughter, Lulu.
28:52Yes.
28:53I wanted to speak with you about what happened to Rose.
28:55Yes.
28:56Did you see something?
28:58Yes.
28:59What is it?
29:01Who are you?
29:03I'm just here visiting Rose and Alice.
29:05Visiting hours are over.
29:07I understand that.
29:08Come back tomorrow.
29:09Do you have a minute?
29:10What?
29:11Just a minute.
29:11Okay.
29:14My friend's worried about her grandmother's injuries.
29:20She fell, mister.
29:22One minute she was in bed, the next she'd hit the floor.
29:26Oh.
29:27Granddaughter's a little concerned.
29:28Rose had mentioned a few things about being attacked.
29:30Yeah, these ladies all tell stories.
29:34I mean, I don't want to sound cruel, but they all complain and they all accuse.
29:38It's just the way it is around here.
29:40Can you explain why she has bruises on her neck?
29:42You ever try to give an Alzheimer's patient a bath?
29:44You get them to eat or stay in their bed?
29:46No.
29:46You should try.
29:47They kick and scream and bite.
29:50They pull off their clothes.
29:52It's crazy in here, especially at night when we're understaffed.
29:55Now, I'm not talking about Rose, but sometimes you give these ladies a bath and they go under
29:59and you've got to pull them out any way you can.
30:01Or take them to the bathroom and they start hitting.
30:04You don't like working here, do you?
30:05I make minimum wage, man.
30:07I clean up puke and wipe old people's asses.
30:10What do you think?
30:10I'm not talking about the bathroom and I'm not talking about the bathroom and I'm not talking about the bathroom.
30:40It's Nick, Lulu's friend.
30:43Lulu?
30:44Your granddaughter.
30:46I know who Lulu is.
30:50You're her friend?
30:51Yeah, yeah.
30:53We met.
30:54Why are you here?
30:56I just came to check on you, see how you work.
30:58How's Caroline?
31:01Uh-huh.
31:02Is she still in Vermont?
31:04Don't know.
31:06She never had any luck with men.
31:09She was a lazy girl and she slept around.
31:15Oh, okay.
31:16I wanted to work downtown for a man who published books and magazines, but William said he was a pornographer.
31:26He hated for me to be out of his sight, but he, he traveled all the time.
31:33He was away, always, all the time away.
31:37Who are you?
31:37You bastard.
31:41Come closer.
31:43Let me see your hands.
31:45Oh.
31:51I have a heart in here, you know.
31:53Okay.
31:54Can you feel?
31:56Can you feel, Dara?
32:00I'll never leave.
32:02I can't.
32:04I can't.
32:06And you can't leave either.
32:09Think of the children.
32:10And where would we go.
32:17I didn't know.
32:22I was so young when I met him.
32:24I didn't know you existed.
32:27Okay.
32:27Stay a while.
32:30Stay a while.
32:34Let's separate.
32:34Stay.
32:36Okay.
32:37I'll be right here.
32:38Yeah.
32:53Wanted to see me?
32:55Yeah.
32:56Want to close that door?
32:57So, Mitchell Lichtman says, uh, he has some problems with you.
33:07I have a problem with him.
33:09You told me that you promised to share Van Gergen with him.
33:12He basically extorted that deal.
33:15You have a deal with him?
33:17Yeah.
33:20Honor it.
33:30Miss Archer, are you willing to take full responsibility for your grandmother?
33:35Yes, Your Honor.
33:36The court grants guardianship of Miss Rose Valente to her granddaughter, Louisa Archer.
33:46I know you're looking for other places for your grandmother.
33:55My mother's in a state-run facility.
33:57It's not as nice as private, but it's clean and well-managed, and they have a wonderful staff.
34:01Really?
34:02Well, is there a wait list?
34:03A long list.
34:04But the director's a friend of mine.
34:05I'd be happy to make a phone call, see what I can do.
34:07Oh, Lori, that would be terrific.
34:09Bye.
34:14Nice what you're doing for Lulu.
34:15What?
34:17Helping her.
34:18Well, she came to me.
34:19Of course she did.
34:21Nick, I can see what's going on.
34:23It's not Lulu I'm worried about.
34:25It's you.
34:25I'll be fine.
34:26She's under a lot of stress, too.
34:28She's making a big leap.
34:29She's making a commitment to her fiancé.
34:31He doesn't deserve her.
34:32Who doesn't deserve her?
34:33But she's just trying to hold things together until the choice she's made has been made.
34:40Lori, she's making a mistake.
34:42Nick, Nick, you're the last person on earth she's going to listen to about that.
34:53What did you say about that?
34:55Well, I told him that I'd never seen such a thing in my life.
34:58And he said, you had one just yesterday.
34:59I need to talk to you.
35:08Falling Associates.
35:17Close the door.
35:18I made a deal with you.
35:25I'll honor it.
35:27Nick, we got off on the wrong foot.
35:29See, I came here looking forward to working with you.
35:32You just got to understand, private practice is not exactly where I was hoping to land.
35:38If we'd won this last election, the senator could have set his side on the governor's office.
35:41And, well, I was hoping I might take over his job.
35:44Why are you here?
35:45I've been working in state politics since 96.
35:48I need to make some money.
35:50And I need to make connections.
35:52Now, Caldwell is great at a lot of things, but being a lawyer is not one of them.
35:57When your father leaves, if he leaves, the senator will be looking at two or three people to take full responsibility for this place.
36:03He's used to leaning on me.
36:06I'd like to know I can lean on you.
36:08What do you want?
36:09I want to keep Van Gergen happy.
36:11He's too valuable to lose.
36:13Okay.
36:13How do you suggest doing that?
36:20Angel's Landing isn't all that toxic.
36:22Plus, it's perfectly located.
36:24I know that.
36:26For a governmental annex.
36:29The state can't approve funds to purchase the land until a vote goes down next month.
36:32And you know how that vote's going to turn out?
36:34I need someone to take over the Van Gergen deal.
36:54Why?
36:54Mitchell told me the state plans on building a governmental annex on Angel's Landing.
37:02They broke the wall.
37:08Now, if the state wants the property, they will pay the appraised value $20 million.
37:12So just cut me out of the deal and let someone else run with it.
37:21No.
37:21We'll be done with this for now.
37:29Sheila, let me have Nathan Caldwell, please.
37:32You wanted to see me?
37:46You told Nick to take the railroad's offer.
37:50That's not true.
37:51How else would he know about the governmental annex and the upcoming vote?
38:02He is leaving you vulnerable, Senator.
38:05We gave him a heads up and he started to look in places he shouldn't.
38:08Why would he lie?
38:10Well, for one thing, he's angry that you and I are here.
38:11Secondly, we both know why we're here, and I'm sure Nick, if he put his mind to it...
38:16Mr. Lickman, you're addressing the wrong person.
38:20I'm the one who's letting you go.
38:22You're allowing this?
38:23You committed a felony, Mitchell.
38:26I can't let that slide.
38:27I didn't.
38:30You know, we're not going to report this.
38:32There is nothing to report.
38:35I'm sorry, Mitchell.
38:41I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
39:02Jake.
39:04Hey, Nick.
39:05Mitchell's off the mire still.
39:07He is?
39:08Yeah, so I'll be stepping back in.
39:10Oh, okay.
39:11Great.
39:12Yeah.
39:13I'm not going to need your backup.
39:15Oh.
39:16No hard feelings.
39:24Alice, can you tell me what you saw the night Rose Valente was injured?
39:29You have to answer with a yes or a no.
39:31No.
39:32Are you answering my question?
39:33No.
39:34Alice, can you tell me what you saw the night Rose Valente was injured?
39:42My daughter owns a large parcel of land on the coast of British Columbia.
39:48A very large parcel.
39:50Can you answer my original question, Alice?
39:53She and her friends thought that they would be able to sell it off to make money.
39:58So I gave her my money.
40:00Oh, this was a long time ago.
40:02Alice, about the other night when you saw...
40:05I hear the woods are beautiful.
40:07You can see the whales.
40:08We should go there sometime together.
40:11We're done here.
40:14I'm going to have to leave.
40:15Are you leaving so soon?
40:16I'm sorry I have to leave here.
40:17Well, have a nice boat ride.
40:20I will.
40:24Nana?
40:36Hi.
40:38Hi, Rose.
40:41I told him.
40:43I told him and you know what he said?
40:45No.
40:46He said he knew.
40:48He'd known for the longest time.
40:51He wasn't angry.
40:52He just said he didn't care anymore.
40:56And he didn't want to be made a fool of.
40:58Well, I'm glad you told him.
41:07You'll never tell your wife, will you, Darren?
41:10You'll never tell.
41:12You love her still.
41:14Not like me and William.
41:16You still love her.
41:19Yeah.
41:19I left it in the upstairs closet with the toilet paper and the toothpaste.
41:27Just look in there.
41:28Just look.
41:29You're the love of my life.
41:41Yeah, but you're here.
41:42Yeah.
41:59My grandmother was in love with another man.
42:12So it seems.
42:14I just always thought she was in love with my grandfather.
42:18It's so funny.
42:25Is it?
42:25Yeah.
42:32It's funny.
42:35You know, you were really kind to me this whole week, even after what I said to you.
42:39And, uh...
42:41You were just really kind.
42:55I referred Van Gergen to Tom Stevens at Stevenson's Slate.
43:06Okay.
43:08So I lost him as a client.
43:15What the hell are you doing to me?
43:16Excuse me?
43:20Caldwell.
43:21He's a fool.
43:22He's never even practiced.
43:25Is that what you want to leave me with?
43:31It's for the best for now.
43:33Oh, because I screwed up one deal.
43:35It's not about that.
43:37It's not about punishment.
43:38Okay.
43:41Then what is it about?
43:44It's about timing.
43:46The senator was not ready to go to work.
43:48He lost the election.
43:49He got bored.
43:51Now he's ready.
43:52Yeah, I, uh...
43:55I don't believe you.
43:58Well, then, it's, uh, good for the short term.
44:04These are clients through the transition.
44:07In a few months, he'll be a liability, and I'll have to cover his ass.
44:09Why is he here?
44:12Why is he here?
44:16I had to make a deal with him.
44:19You made a deal with him?
44:21Mm-hmm.
44:24Sorry.
44:25Just last week, you told me
44:27you wanted me to take over this fur.
44:57Lizzo, you called me.
44:58You son what?
45:01You sold me.
45:04You sold me.
45:05It was his father.
45:08I did.
45:14I'm sorry.
45:19I'm sorry.
45:20I died.
45:20I'm sorry.
