00:00Previously on Family Law.
00:02The numbers were awesome.
00:03The phoenix made the right choice.
00:04Your listeners will love you.
00:07I've been in discussions with Marcus Peterson about a merger.
00:09Sorry, what?
00:10That's approximately how much you draw annually this goes through.
00:15We're killing it with the co-parenting.
00:16Good thing, since it sounds like we might be working together soon, too.
00:19What do you mean?
00:20Oh, because of the merger.
00:21What merger?
00:23Dude.
00:26I'm pregnant.
00:27Dude, tell me you ordered a DNA test.
00:30The baby's mine.
00:30All I know about you is she eats cheesies in bed.
00:32She was sleep-deprived, stuffing her face with chips, elbow-deep in rodent thumb.
00:36You want to be a part of the baby's life now?
00:38If I'm not, she might kill it.
00:46Did you read the links I sent?
00:48Nope.
00:49But not because I was too busy.
00:51I just don't want to.
00:52Well, give him a look.
00:53Fetal development is fascinating.
00:55Nutrition is so important.
00:57I bet.
00:57For instance, did you know white bread, like the bagel you're eating, has almost zero fiber?
01:01That's so.
01:02Why not swap it for multigrain or try vitamin supplements?
01:10Did you rob London drugs?
01:12Folic acid is a must.
01:13Got your vitamin A and C, D and E.
01:15Is there a vitamin F and U?
01:16Look, I appreciate you coming all this way with your research and your body fascism, but it's my body, my home, so get out.
01:27Just read the links.
01:29We should take precautions, especially for a pregnancy like this.
01:33Geriatric pregnancy.
01:34Let's watch Charlie's Angels.
01:45They're spies with a huge wood collection.
01:47What's not to like?
01:48I'm in the mood for sci-fi.
01:51Remember the one about the scientist who creates life and then everyone treats him like a monster?
01:54For the last time, we are not watching Flubber.
01:56Why not?
01:57Daniel, Harry, where are they?
01:58Mr. Spence, Harry's office, but they're in a closed door.
02:01She's kind of scary, right?
02:06One day, we'll meet just like her.
02:12Uh, good morning.
02:14We're having a...
02:14When were you two gonna tell me?
02:17Your mother and I have only spent one night together.
02:20No, not that.
02:22The merger with Marcus Peterson's firm.
02:24You didn't think I should know I'd be working with my ex-husband?
02:27If the deal goes through, you two won't even be on the same floor.
02:30And a merger's great for the firm. More clients, which means more money.
02:32Yeah, for you, the partners.
02:35For the rest of us, it means more politics, higher billing targets, longer hours, more people like you.
02:40Abigail, I promise, the culture of this firm won't change.
02:43Mr. Spence, Diana Souk is here.
02:46Ah, yes.
02:47Ms. Souk's brought us a personal injury case right in your wheelhouse.
02:51Since when do we take on personal injury cases?
02:53It's a lucrative field, one in which your sister excels.
02:55You've been a racehorse trapped in the barn for too long.
02:58We want to take advantage of your gifts.
03:00Wait, do you?
03:01Actually, Danny, why don't you shadow your sister on this one?
03:05Me? Why?
03:06Never too late to learn a new area of law.
03:09And who better to learn from than the litigator who nabbed a seven-figure settlement in the Cowabunga waterslide incident?
03:16Okay, Shadow. Take good notes.
03:19Ceaser will take notes.
03:20If that makes you feel any better.
03:21Diana, hi.
03:30I'm Abigail Bianchi. I'll be representing you.
03:32This is Cecil, our paralegal.
03:34And I'm Daniel Svensson.
03:36Think of him as an observer.
03:38Like an intern?
03:39Actually.
03:39Quieter than an intern.
03:41How can we help you today?
03:43This bougie couple is suing me.
03:45Their car got smashed up and they want me to pay for it.
03:48Why are they suing you?
03:49They're saying my daughter crashed it, that she broke into their car and took it for a joyride.
03:55Did she?
03:56Of course not.
03:58What's your daughter's name?
03:59Michaela Souk.
04:01She's a good kid.
04:02A quiet kid.
04:03She spends all her time making fan art.
04:05She would never do this.
04:11This car is wild.
04:12Yes.
04:15I can't believe I'm doing this.
04:20I think she did it.
04:22But I didn't crash their car.
04:51Why am I on the hook?
04:53It's called parental liability.
04:54Which basically holds parents responsible for damages caused by their child.
04:57But these cases are difficult to win.
04:59I hope so.
05:00Did you see that car?
05:02Probably costs a fortune.
05:04I can't afford to fix it.
05:05Michaela's father can't help.
05:06He passed away a few years ago.
05:09I'm very sorry.
05:11It's been really hard on Michaela.
05:14In these claims, the plaintiff will try to prove the parent could have stopped their child from causing the damage.
05:19That they could have predicted it.
05:22Has Michaela done anything like this before?
05:24Never.
05:26I know how that video looks.
05:28But I swear, Michaela is a good kid.
05:31And there's no way you could have predicted it.
05:34I'll build a strong defense.
05:35We'll build a strong defense.
05:36Whatever you do, don't blame yourself.
05:41Of course she should blame herself.
05:43It's negligent parenting, plain and simple.
05:45Is it that simple?
05:46I bet you were ways who buttoned up to have a rebellious streak.
05:49Oh, you have no idea.
05:50He was such a teacher's pet.
05:51I used to call him Suck-Up Svensson.
05:54You came up with that nickname?
05:56Follow me all the way to high school.
05:57I remember when my eldest went through her rebellious phase.
06:00One minute she's making me homemade cards, the next she's setting off stink bombs in a teacher's lounge.
06:06Beg me to represent her in case the school sued.
06:09And that's what being a teenager is all about.
06:10Pushing boundaries, trying new things.
06:12Is it fair to blame the parents?
06:14Joanne was on the hook for half the things I did at that age.
06:17She'd be broke.
06:17With the spousal support I was paying, I highly doubt it.
06:20I had a wild side, too.
06:22Watched PG-13 movies when I was 12.
06:25Yet, you somehow turned out fine.
06:28I never went through a rebellious phase.
06:31Never say never, Winston.
06:32You look 15.
06:33Really?
06:34Whatever teens do, it's up to their parents to keep them in line.
06:37Like, when Craig goes poop in the park, whose job is it to pick it up?
06:41Usually mine.
06:42For the last time, parenting Craig is not parenting.
06:45Give him nine months, he'll get it.
06:47Little teen rebellion is healthy.
06:48I partook in my own share of tomfoolery, but the law is clear.
06:53If parents can be forced to pay for their children's mistakes, best to keep them on a tight leash.
06:57Says the man who did little to no parenting.
07:01Diana says this is highly out of character for Michaela.
07:03I'm going to drop by her house and see if she's got her mom blinders on.
07:07Could sure use the insight of a famous radiotherapist.
07:11I think she can squeeze that in her schedule.
07:15Shadow, come.
07:27How are things with Maggie?
07:32She's seeing someone.
07:33Oh, I'm sorry.
07:35Actually, I think Maggie and I are better off as friends.
07:38It's weird saying that out loud.
07:40It would be weirder if you stayed together.
07:42Too much kidnapping under the bridge.
07:44You and Maggie, it's a good example of platonic co-parenting.
07:47You're reading up on the subject, you know, because of my situation with Jude.
07:51Seamless segue.
07:51I want to be supportive, so I made a few observations, but she is so stubborn.
07:55What kind of observations?
07:57I suggest that she lay off processed foods, brought her vitamins.
08:00Oh, and she blew a gasket when I called it a geriatric pregnancy.
08:03You called it a what?
08:04It's a clinical term.
08:06You're lucky you're not on a slab at the morgue.
08:08Yeah?
08:18Michaela?
08:19Abigail Bianchi.
08:20These are my colleagues.
08:22Do you know why we're here?
08:23Yeah.
08:25Is your mom home?
08:26No.
08:27Can we wait inside?
08:31Sorry, I should run.
08:33I've got mathletes.
08:34I used to do mathletes.
08:35Oh, wow.
08:35It was around in the dark ages?
08:38Is she making fun of me?
08:47As an ex of kin, my client is entitled to be a state.
08:50Trudy Lockhart's will is explicit.
08:53Her home on Point Ray Road is to be left to her beloved Charles.
08:56But I'm her nephew.
08:57Come on, Phil.
08:58You know this will is atypical to say the least.
09:01Atypical?
09:01It's absurd.
09:02Not to Trudy.
09:05She adored Charles.
09:08When an estate is left in the form of a pet trust, it's appointed to the pet's caregiver,
09:15which means Georgina.
09:16Why does a cat need 4,000 square feet and an ocean view?
09:19Because it's the home he grew up in.
09:22Trudy wanted him to spend the rest of his days there.
09:25Trudy also made a promise to my client that he'd be taken care of.
09:28She wanted the house to go to him.
09:30A promise?
09:30Is it reflected in the will?
09:36Sounds like a no.
09:37I can't believe Aunt True cares more about that cat than me.
09:50Did Charles send her a birthday card every year?
09:53She did leave you her stamp collection.
09:54It's quite valuable.
09:56Yeah, 85K.
09:57Big whoop.
09:58Challenging the pet trust won't be easy,
09:59but if we can prove Georgina was providing inadequate care,
10:03perhaps we can have you appointed as Charles' new caregiver.
10:06Curegiver to a cat?
10:07I'm allergic.
10:09The home is worth $15 million.
10:13I'll get an MPP.
10:26Hi, sorry I'm late.
10:28The salon's in Metrotown.
10:30There was a perm crisis.
10:31I won't get into it.
10:32That's a far commute.
10:34Did you guys move here recently?
10:35Yep, the rent's crazy,
10:37but the school in this catchment is worth it.
10:39Private school education without the tuition.
10:42Mikayla, did you say hi to our guests?
10:45Offer them anything to drink?
10:49Mikayla!
10:51Yoo-hoo!
10:53Does Mikayla spend a lot of time unsupervised?
10:55Lately, yes.
10:58Since the move, I've been working longer shifts.
11:00There's no one else who could be with her?
11:02Parents and Annie?
11:03Does it look like I can afford a nanny?
11:06And Mikayla's 14.
11:07She can be on her own for a few hours.
11:09Still after the incident,
11:10a judge will want to know you're keeping an eye on her.
11:12Why are we even going to court?
11:14Mom, please just pay the Vandenbergs so this could be over.
11:20Sorry about that.
11:22Mikayla used to be such a sweet kid,
11:24but now...
11:24My daughter loathed me for years.
11:28The good news is they seem to come out the other side.
11:31Did you and Mikayla have a chance to talk about that night?
11:34Or maybe she explained why she took the car?
11:36She barely talks to me in full sentences.
11:39Have you considered taking her to see a therapist?
11:41I tried.
11:42After her father passed,
11:43but it costs so much.
11:45Therapy is expensive.
11:47Why don't I meet with Mikayla a couple times?
11:50If it helps, we can discuss the sliding scale.
11:52That's a great idea.
11:53Having Mikayla in therapy,
11:54it's a good-looking court.
11:55More than that,
11:56we want to address any issues that led to the incident.
12:00That too.
12:00Sophia that bad?
12:05No, she was all sunshine and rainbows.
12:08My child turned out like that?
12:09It's a good thing Jude has my help.
12:11You are not seriously putting down single parents.
12:14Of course not.
12:14I was essentially raised by a single mom,
12:16but that's why she enrolled me in a bunch of activities
12:18to keep me busy.
12:20Fencing, piano, tennis, spirited math.
12:22I don't know.
12:23It says so much.
12:24What?
12:25It's about how you became you.
12:26Thank you?
12:28Those things cost money,
12:29and I doubt that's the root of the problem.
12:31I think Mikayla is grieving her dad.
12:33Losing a parent is tough, especially so young.
12:36Shadow, find me some case law before our next meeting.
12:40Stop calling me that.
12:49Sophia?
12:50Abigail, my granddaughter,
12:51was just explaining to me what an ick is.
12:54I think I've had more than a few girlfriends
12:56who have given me that feeling.
12:59Hmm.
13:00I'm sure it was mutual.
13:01And on that note, I'll go.
13:03Bye, Grandpa.
13:05Thank you, sweetheart, for keeping me current.
13:07You're gonna need a magic wand for that.
13:10Mom, stop laughing at your own jokes.
13:15So, what brings you to my office, kiddo?
13:18Not that I'm complaining.
13:19Okay.
13:20Okay.
13:22I've given it a lot of thought, and...
13:25I want to move in with you.
13:28Bowl time.
13:28The old house was my turf, and Isabel was kind of a guest.
13:42But at this new house, it's like, I'm the guest.
13:45I'm sure that's not how they feel.
13:46Dad and I used to do Wordle together every morning.
13:49Now it's just him and Isabel talking renovations.
13:52The way they go on about floor tiles.
13:54The level out, you'll get your Wordle back.
13:56Well, the Renaults are gonna take months.
13:58And also, they're just so cringe together, you know?
14:01With Nico off eating baguettes in France.
14:04It's a little lonely.
14:05Well, I'd love for you to live with me.
14:09But I don't have my own place yet.
14:11We'd still be at JoJo's.
14:12I'm okay with that.
14:13I love JoJo.
14:15Okay.
14:15Well, I have to talk to your dad about it first.
14:17Get the all clear.
14:19You know, I am old enough to vote with my feet.
14:22Pick up a few things when both your parents are lawyers.
14:25You are old enough, I know.
14:26But communication is important.
14:29Yadda, yadda, yadda.
14:30Hi again.
14:37Wrong unit.
14:38I'll be quick.
14:41Look.
14:43I'm sorry.
14:44It was wrong of me to give you unsolicited advice, however well researched.
14:49Whoa.
14:51Did you draw that?
14:52Yeah, meet the big bad of Orc Retaliation 2.
14:55Cool.
14:57That's scary.
14:58I gave him your forehead.
15:01You were apologizing.
15:02Here's the thing.
15:03If you and I are going to co-parent this child, we need to get along.
15:06I take your point.
15:08Do you want to go out sometime this week?
15:09Get to know each other?
15:11Unromantically?
15:12Of course, you felt the need to add that.
15:15Fine.
15:16Let's hang out.
15:17Okay.
15:19I'll get out of your hair.
15:21Just don't work too late tonight.
15:23A good night's sleep is good for the...
15:24Daniel, just leave.
15:28Okay.
15:41Michaela is sorry for causing you distress.
15:44I promise not only am I disciplining her,
15:46I've arranged for her to seek therapy to, um, address any issues that led to the incident.
15:54My client isn't able to offer financial compensation, but she is willing to make restitution.
15:59Oh.
16:01Michaela can mow your lawn every week.
16:03She'll be mowing for the rest of her life.
16:04She can also walk your dog.
16:08Thanks, but my clients won't drop their claim.
16:10Michaela can't do yard work and call it a day.
16:12What kind of deterrent is that?
16:15Well, let's discuss other options.
16:17We're just not comfortable with her spending time at our house.
16:20Last time she was on my client's property, it didn't work out so well.
16:23Oh, just the thought of her near our prize-winning hydrangeas.
16:27He's put us through quite enough already.
16:28Parental liability claims are rarely successful.
16:31Davey v. Henson.
16:32You'll spend more money in court than you would repairing your car.
16:35My client is willing to pay your deductible and the increase to your premiums if they go up.
16:39We shouldn't have the hassle of dealing with our insurance company, and it's about principle.
16:44Clearly Michaela has never learned about consequences at home.
16:48Sorry, are you dissing my parenting?
16:51We're not dissing anything.
16:53We just think you should act more like your daughter's mother instead of her best friend.
16:59Say that again.
17:00I can see where she gets it.
17:01Surely we can reach a compromise?
17:03Sure.
17:03My clients are flexible.
17:05Money's an issue, then Miss Su can pay them back in installments.
17:07This cat is living its best life.
17:17So it seems.
17:19Hard to prove neglect when he's this pampered.
17:22Are those real aviators?
17:24Pictures don't tell the whole story.
17:25Contact Phil Sterling.
17:27I want to conduct our own evaluation with a third-party vet.
17:31Just to be clear, you want me to subpoena a cat?
17:34Indeed, Cecilia.
17:35So this is how the other half lives.
17:45A guest?
17:47She said that?
17:48Don't be a cup of about it.
17:52Sure you said something supportive in there?
17:55I didn't realize we were so...
17:57cringe.
17:58Please.
17:59If parents hold hands, their kids react that way.
18:02They want us to be asexual.
18:03What about you and Ben?
18:04You two make her cringe?
18:06We, uh, broke up.
18:08So, might as well be asexual.
18:12I'm sorry, Abby.
18:16Can't say the same for Harry and Joanne.
18:18Sophia better brace herself for bare asses and skinny dipping.
18:21It's not forever.
18:26She'll come around.
18:29As a wise person once said when I read a scathing essay about myself,
18:33just give her time.
18:37Wow.
18:39This person sounds like a complete jerk.
18:41I'll tell him you said that.
18:42How are things at home?
18:52Fine.
18:53What about school?
18:54You just transferred, right?
18:56Yeah.
19:07Sorry.
19:09It's fine.
19:09Your mom mentioned your dad passed away.
19:14Do you want to talk about it?
19:32How about this?
19:34During our session, we'll keep your phone in this basket,
19:36and it'll be waiting for you when we're done.
19:39Thanks.
19:49Did she give you the silent treatment?
19:51Pretty much.
19:52She was texting someone.
19:53I had to take her phone and put it on my desk.
19:55Impressive.
19:56The only way Sophia would let me have her phone
19:57is if I pried it out of her cold, dead hands.
20:00Direct quote.
20:01Limit that screen time.
20:02Studies show how addictive it is to a child's brain.
20:04Stop reading up on child brains and start finding me case law.
20:07Why?
20:08You don't use it.
20:09It didn't seem like Michaela was texting a friend.
20:11She looks worried, but she wouldn't say why.
20:14We have another session tomorrow.
20:16Maybe she'll talk then.
20:17Is the council ready to begin questioning?
20:28Watch how it's done.
20:30Diana, why did you move to Shaughnessy?
20:33For Westfern Academy.
20:34It has an international baccalaureate program,
20:36and they have all these art classes.
20:39Why is that important to you?
20:41Michaela loves art.
20:43She spends all her time drawing, painting.
20:45Did she ever get into any trouble at her old school?
20:47Never.
20:48Nothing like this has ever happened before.
20:50Your Honor, given my client's commitment to the child's well-being
20:53and that the child herself has no history of delinquent behavior,
20:56it is clear this was an isolated incident,
20:59not a reflection of my client's parenting.
21:01Does opposing counsel wish to cross-examine?
21:06Ms. Zouk, what is your daughter's GPA?
21:08I'm not sure.
21:10Objection. Relevance?
21:11What do her grades have to do with the claim?
21:13The child is flunking her classes because she's been skipping them.
21:17No way.
21:17The school would have notified me.
21:19Not directly.
21:20Your daughter made sure of that.
21:23A form redirecting the school's messages to your daughter's cell.
21:28Is that your signature?
21:29Yes, but I never signed this.
21:32Well, that's because your daughter forged it.
21:36Your Honor, I'd like to submit video evidence.
21:37Uh, objection.
21:38We need to review it first.
21:39What if it violates the child's privacy?
21:41The video was posted through Michaela's social media just this morning.
21:44It's public information.
21:46Overruled.
21:48Yes!
21:53This is for you guys.
21:59Looking good, Principal Smith.
22:05All right.
22:05She can draw.
22:07Your Honor, crashing my client's car was not an isolated incident.
22:12The child has a history of damaging property.
22:14As her parent, Ms. Zouk should have discouraged this behavior.
22:17My clients should not have to pay for her negligence.
22:19Court is adjourned until I have a chance to further review this evidence.
22:30Watch and learn?
22:32More like crash and burn.
22:34See you back at the office.
22:35How are you?
22:43All those things.
22:45Michaela did that.
22:47I feel like I don't even know her.
22:49She's at that age where kids are programmed to keep things from you.
22:53It says nothing about you as a parent.
22:55When I was a couple years older than Michaela, I got pregnant.
22:58I kept it from my parents until I couldn't hide it anymore.
23:02Want to know how they reacted?
23:03I'm guessing they didn't throw you a gender-reveal party.
23:07They said I embarrassed them.
23:10Then they kicked me out.
23:12Diana.
23:13The worst part?
23:13I knew they'd act like that.
23:15That's why I didn't tell them.
23:17And I never wanted Michaela to feel that way about me.
23:22But whatever she is going through, she won't talk to me.
23:26What did I do to make her not trust me?
23:33Well placed, Benson.
23:40Be honest, did you only pick this place because it's the food of my people?
23:44No, I picked it because everyone raves about the seared beef.
23:47Relax.
23:47I'm messing with you.
23:50Okay.
23:51One last stop.
23:53If it's Zumba, I'm out.
23:54Oh, way more fun than that.
23:58What is this?
24:00You said this was going to be fun.
24:02Hi there.
24:03Welcome to Baby CPR.
24:05Come on, grab a dummy and join us.
24:08Okay, are we ready to get started?
24:12The first thing we're going to talk about is Baby Dangerous.
24:19Yes.
24:19Hey, Mom.
24:22Hey.
24:23Sophia, what's your GPA?
24:25Uh, 3.8 something.
24:27Why?
24:28No reason.
24:30What are you watching?
24:32One of my clients, her daughter keeps pulling these ridiculous stunts.
24:36Why would she incriminate herself by posting them?
24:39She wouldn't.
24:40This is her social media.
24:41Give my generation more credit.
24:43If we don't want to get caught doing something, we won't post it.
24:45My guess, someone else made an account under her name.
24:48Same thing happened to Simon Getty.
24:50Who?
24:51This kid in my class, kind of quirky, used to say random things,
24:55until a bunch of guys made an account under his name called Simon Says
24:58and turned everything he said into a meme.
25:00Kids can be such assholes.
25:02Then they got caught?
25:03The teachers never found out.
25:05Sometimes it would even update during class.
25:07Simon would see it on his phone, but he never said anything.
25:10Why not?
25:11I think you still want to be their friend.
25:13I think you still want to be their friend.
25:18Abigail.
25:36Geez, Jerry.
25:39What can I do for you?
25:41Didn't mean to scare you.
25:43I need you to sign this.
25:57Let's talk about your hobbies.
25:59Your mom mentioned you love drawing.
26:00Not really.
26:03Okay.
26:05What's your favorite class?
26:06Don't have one.
26:09I'm flunking.
26:11Because I'm not good at anything.
26:13I'm sure your friends wouldn't say that.
26:15Friends?
26:17Okay.
26:18What about Iris?
26:20She's the girl I saw you with, right?
26:22I said I don't have friends.
26:24I have no hobbies.
26:25My mom gave up everything so I could go to this stupid school and...
26:30And I just suck at all of it.
26:36Have you tried talking to your mom about your feelings?
26:39I can't.
26:41Why not?
26:44How do you tell your mom you're a loser?
26:51Knock, knock.
26:52Abby, I'm in the middle of a session.
26:54Sorry, this will just take a second.
26:55I left something on your desk.
26:59Sorry, we'll just give her a minute.
27:12I want to know how you got this.
27:14Read first.
27:15Judge later.
27:16If you tell anyone you're over, tell what?
27:20That's the question.
27:20Someone is bullying Mikayla, and I bet whoever it is forced her to take that car.
27:25Why don't you just ask Mikayla?
27:26She's a closed book.
27:28Can you talk to a teacher?
27:29Teachers are clueless when it comes to bullies.
27:31Trust me.
27:32Maybe the students know.
27:33They'll never tell me.
27:34As soon as they sense an adult is investigating, they'll delete the chat and our trail goes cold.
27:39It's true.
27:41Teenagers only trust each other.
27:45Too bad we can't just do it.
27:4621 Jump Street.
27:4720 Jump Street.
27:57What?
28:03How did I get roped into this?
28:05What if we get caught?
28:07What if we're charged with trespassing?
28:09We won't get caught.
28:10Trust me.
28:11First mission's always scary.
28:13I was nervous, too, when they sent me to pray away the gay camp.
28:15Is that your where?
28:18Teen City is the only place for me.
28:22Ten thousand teams can't be wrong.
28:26Excuse me, sir.
28:31Only students past this point.
28:35Right.
28:36I'm a sub.
28:38For...
28:38Spanish.
28:43Okay.
28:45Buena suerte.
28:46Mucho nachos.
28:52Them.
28:53The jocks are the bullies.
28:55I bet my manikiniko on it.
28:57Nah.
28:58Cool kids don't even care about inpopulars.
29:01Much less bully them.
29:02They're the smart kids.
29:07Really?
29:08They look so sweet.
29:09Smart kids are the worst.
29:11They've got the skills to trap you and the most to prove.
29:14How do you know about all this?
29:16Because I lived it.
29:20How do we get them to confess?
29:23I have an idea.
29:24What did you think of the reading?
29:291984.
29:30I liked it.
29:31Did you read Melanie's essay?
29:32Social media and the surveillance state.
29:35Like, wow.
29:36Great analysis, Captain Obvious.
29:37Yeah.
29:38Super obvious.
29:39Hey.
29:40Can I sit here?
29:43Are you new?
29:44I just transferred from Millview.
29:46Oh.
29:46That school doesn't offer IB classes.
29:48They only have advanced placement.
29:50Thank God they kicked me out.
29:52They did?
29:54Why?
29:56We did a production of Hairspray, and I put itching powder in all their wigs.
30:01Would have been perfect for your post-pix account.
30:08What do you mean?
30:09Your private page.
30:10The one you use to share pranks.
30:12We don't know what you're talking about.
30:13Fine.
30:14Deny it.
30:15But you're missing out on premium content.
30:21See that TOC?
30:23He gave me attention, so I gave him laxatives.
30:35Huh.
30:36I underestimated you.
30:38People do that.
30:39You know what?
30:41I'll add you.
30:41No, Iris, don't.
30:43Shut up, Stefano.
30:44Yeah, Stefano.
30:44Lock it up.
30:45I'll let you follow our page.
30:48If you do one more thing.
30:52I am really sorry, Cecil, but I had to do it to gain her trust.
30:57Just when I upgraded my ride, too.
31:09Uh, Spenson and Spenson, can you hold, please?
31:11I'm so sorry to keep you waiting.
31:17Three o'clock.
31:18That's right.
31:19Lovely.
31:19See you then.
31:21Where on earth is everyone?
31:22Cecile?
31:23He got a pistachio lodged in his tooth.
31:25He's at the dentist.
31:25In Winston?
31:26Grove him there.
31:27Well, that's just great.
31:28Cecile was supposed to take Charles to the vet.
31:30Oh, don't look at me.
31:31I've got an office to run.
31:36Thanks, Jerry.
31:36I owe you one.
31:38More than one.
31:41Oh, yes, Mr. Makeda.
31:48Look at that whiskered face.
31:50He's actually quite adorable.
31:52Don't let him fool you.
31:54Never can tell what a cat is thinking.
31:57What are you talking about?
31:59Huh.
32:00Here I thought cats were disagreeable.
32:03Uh-uh.
32:04I'll have a good stand for her.
32:07Well, I've done some thorough tests,
32:09and Charles here meets every metric of exceptional health.
32:12Of course he does.
32:13But when we took a look at Charles' previous records,
32:16we noticed a discrepancy.
32:22Hmm.
32:23Hmm.
32:27Basically, they make someone record themselves doing a prank
32:32for the promise of popularity.
32:34And use it to blackmail them into doing something more extreme.
32:37Like jam lockers, clogged sinks.
32:39Betray friends.
32:40How'd you get all this?
32:42Not important.
32:43This is evidence.
32:44It's proof that Michaela was blackmailed
32:46into stealing the Vandenbergs car.
32:47Speaking of cars,
32:49what's the maximum reimbursement for petty cash?
32:52There's more.
32:53Meet the ringleader.
32:56That's the girl who called me old.
32:57Look at her surname.
32:59Iris Vandenberg.
33:02Mrs. Vandenberg, do you have a child?
33:15I do.
33:16Yes.
33:17How many hours does she study a day?
33:19Two hours with her tutor,
33:20three by herself.
33:21Hmm.
33:23Does she do any extracurriculars?
33:24Chess, cello, robotics.
33:27What about her online activity?
33:29Objection.
33:29How is any of this relevant?
33:30Counsel asked my client similar questions.
33:32Seemed relevant then.
33:33Overruled.
33:34Will counsel please get to the point?
33:37Screenshots from a private post-pix account.
33:40Can you describe what you see?
33:42Miss Sook's daughter breaking into my car.
33:46Are you aware your daughter coerced her into doing it?
33:49Objection.
33:49Lack of evidence.
33:50Have you any proof?
33:52Text messages from the child and yours.
33:56Can you read them out loud?
33:58Iris, if you don't do this, I'll leak the videos.
34:02Michaela, what if I crash the car?
34:04Won't your parents be mad?
34:07Iris, IDC about them.
34:10What does IDC mean?
34:12For those of us not presently teenagers?
34:14I don't care.
34:15Why would your child blackmail someone into damaging your property?
34:21Maybe all those hours of studying, the extracurriculars, the pressure of being a top student made her crack?
34:29Maybe as her parent you're to blame.
34:30Or maybe not.
34:34A teenager's life and choices are complex.
34:39It's not as simple as it's the parent's fault.
34:42So, why fault my client's parenting?
34:44Because she can't watch her child 24-7?
34:46Because she can't afford nannies or expensive after-school programs?
34:49She can barely afford the child's therapy, which she needs, due to your child's bullying.
34:55The child didn't damage your car because of my client's parenting.
34:59She damaged it because of your child's coercion.
35:02I'm inclined to agree.
35:11I dismiss the Vandenbergs' claim for damages.
35:14Ms. Sook is entitled to her cost and to 15 sessions of therapy for Michaela.
35:18To be paid for by the Vandenbergs.
35:21I can't thank you enough.
35:33You and Lucy.
35:34And you.
35:35Oh, you don't have to.
35:36You are so lucky to learn from this rock star.
35:38Dr. Spenson will be with you soon.
36:00Thanks.
36:03I hear you're transferring to a new school.
36:06That's exciting.
36:07It doesn't matter where I go.
36:09It'll turn out the same.
36:12One of my teachers called high school the best years.
36:15Isn't that depressing?
36:17I hated school.
36:19Really?
36:20But you seem, like, smart.
36:23I skipped a grade or two.
36:25So I was always the youngest.
36:27Which isn't a great way to make friends.
36:30Were they awful to you?
36:32They were.
36:34So I studied harder.
36:35Because if I didn't belong, I might as well be the best.
36:40Sounds like a lot of pressure.
36:43That's why I took a gap year.
36:46I'm in a much better place.
36:49High school is just a few years.
36:51After that, it's this whole other world.
36:55Give it time.
36:57You'll find your people.
36:58Without a doubt, Georgina provides exceptional care to the cat.
37:17And yes, Trudy's will is rock solid.
37:20But there is a discrepancy.
37:24One that changes things considerably.
37:27Aha!
37:28Wait.
37:29What are we looking at here?
37:31Charles' dental records, x-rays, and microchip ID.
37:34None of which match this cat's.
37:37What do you mean they don't match?
37:40I mean the cat in this room, healthy and pampered as he is, is not Charles.
37:45So where's Charles?
37:47Dead, Lewis.
37:48Catch up.
37:49I really did love Charles.
37:51I kept him alive as long as I could.
37:53But Trudy just stuffed him with tuna every day.
37:56She might as well have just poured mercury down his throat.
37:59So you replaced him?
38:02I grew quite fond of that house.
38:04The ocean view alone.
38:06Booyah!
38:07The house is mine!
38:09Sorry, loser.
38:11Have fun being homeless.
38:13Not so fast.
38:15Due to the death of the beneficiary, Charles, the real one,
38:19we must redistribute the assets according to a residual clause.
38:25Redistribute to who?
38:26The bulk of the estate will be dissolved and donated
38:29to the Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association.
38:33Will I at least get to keep Charles II?
38:38That could be arranged.
38:44What are you looking at?
38:56Oh, hey.
39:01Jude's just getting ready.
39:03Taryn.
39:04You're the baby daddy, aren't you?
39:06What's up?
39:08Later, babe.
39:15Ready for round two of baby CPR.
39:18That's a sentence I never thought I'd say.
39:19So, we've checked the airway for obstructions.
39:29All clear?
39:31Now.
39:33One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
39:37So, Taryn, you two a thing?
39:40Oh, just a friend.
39:41With benefits.
39:42And when did you two start having benefits?
39:46Last week.
39:49You seem mad.
39:50I'm not mad.
39:51Good.
39:52Because you shouldn't be,
39:53since you're the one who keeps calling this a platonic arrangement.
39:55I just wonder if you should be having one-night stands.
39:57We were a one-night stand.
39:58For the baby.
39:59Is it safe?
40:00All that jostling?
40:02Okay, remember when you said you would stop prying?
40:04Well, this counts as prying.
40:05I'm just thinking about our baby.
40:07Stop!
40:07You just broke your baby's ribs.
40:19For all my years,
40:21and this is the first case that turned into an Agatha Christie novel.
40:25Feels odd celebrating when neither of our clients got what they wanted.
40:30They were terrible people.
40:31I'll drink to that.
40:35You seem upbeat these days.
40:37Do I?
40:38Yeah, less moaning and groaning.
40:40No nautical references.
40:43You're overjoyed.
40:46Not quite.
40:48We're trying again,
40:49but we were taking it slow.
40:50One day at a time.
40:51You said you were moving on.
40:53I tried to,
40:53but I couldn't replace Joanne.
40:59All the others were just poor substitutes.
41:02While Pam was going on about her toe fungus,
41:13all I could think was,
41:15give her a podcast already.
41:16I don't even mean that ironically.
41:18So, I heard the silliest gossip.
41:22Pearl from Viserion Roth was talking to Suzette.
41:26Something about a merger between us and Peterson.
41:29Bunch of nonsense.
41:30Harry wouldn't keep something like that from me.
41:32He would have told me straight away, right?
41:38Abigail.
41:41Right?
41:41Hello, my god.
41:47You're welcome.
41:48I'm your maid.
41:49I'm your maid.
41:51I'm your maid.
41:58You're welcome.
41:59I'm your maid.
