00:00Previously on Family Law.

00:02Our firms are going on a joint corporate retreat this weekend.

00:06I think you could lose Nelson from your team. No one would miss it.

00:11Then there's an obvious cut on your side as well.

00:13I can't believe I have to shill chocolate-covered almonds,

00:15even though my son is almost certainly not going on this trip.

00:18How can you rob your son of this experience after hearing about Barcelona?

00:23Troy is young. He's tech savvy.

00:26If that's a resignation letter, I'm not opening it.

00:28I look forward to getting to know you better over the weekend.

00:30Your hysterical ex and her ball-busting lawyer are going to drag this thing out forever.

00:34It's the not-so-thinly-veiled language of a misogynist.

00:37Abigail, this merger is going ahead.

00:40What line of work did you say you were in?

00:43Family Law.

00:58Abigail, thank you for my new pajamas.

01:04Thank you for wearing them.

01:06Oh, you look so professional.

01:08I can't believe you're already dressed and ready.

01:11I'm nervous for my first day.

01:13It's one week of work experience at your grandfather's firm.

01:16The stakes couldn't be lower.

01:18It fit right in at Svensson & Svensson, Sophia.

01:20Just remember, don't let anyone teach you how to make coffee.

01:23If you don't know how, they can't make you do it.

01:25A skill your mother has been dodging for 42 years and counting.

01:29It's so nice having breakfast with my grandma and grandpa together.

01:32Yes, it is.

01:34Although, kindly never call me the G-word again.

01:44Hi, Sophia.

01:45Hi, Winston.

01:46Come on, Soph.

01:47I'll introduce you to everyone.

01:48Absolutely not.

01:49This is my firm.

01:50I get to show off my granddaughter.

01:53Good luck.

01:55Cecile, you remember my granddaughter Sophia?

01:58She'll be working at the firm this week.

02:00Welcome, Svensson & Svensson.

02:01Thanks.

02:02You can keep your backpack in my office.

02:09Good morning, everyone.

02:11Feeling as invigorated from the retreat as I am?

02:16I was invigorated.

02:19I know you're upset about the merger, Abby.

02:35I mean, no need to leave a vandalized t-shirt on display like a severed horse head.

02:38First of all, I didn't take one of your propaganda shirts.

02:41And second of all, I've made my peace with the merger.

02:45You don't make peace with anything.

02:47Oh, what?

02:48Coffee spill.

02:49This retreat was meant to bring people together.

02:53Why is everyone so upset?

02:55It was lip service.

02:56People don't feel heard.

02:59I hear people all day long.

03:01I've been in a fog since Roy passed.

03:04I barely move.

03:06The thought of a shower feels impossible.

03:10Losing a partner is a devastating experience.

03:14Survivor reactions or fight, flight, or freeze.

03:18You're frozen right now.

03:20I'm useless.

03:22Christian.

03:23You spent the last two years caring for Roy through a brutal battle with cancer.

03:29Your whole world has changed.

03:31Go easy on yourself.

03:33Rituals are helpful in the healing process.

03:36Have you spread Roy's ashes yet?

03:38Roy's sister swooped into town and took over everything.

03:45She locked me out of the house.

03:48How is that even possible?

03:50She's the executor of Roy's estate.

03:52And this old beneficiary.

03:54There's nothing I can do.

03:56Oh, there's something you can do.

04:00You need to meet my sister.

04:02You can't prove it.

04:03Oh, oh.

04:04You got nothing legit.

04:05Oh, oh.

04:07The glove don't fit.

04:08Oh, oh.

04:09You got it equipped.

04:10Oh, oh.

04:11The charges won't stick.

04:13Cause I ain't no sucker.

04:15Ain't your lollipop.

04:17But you can't kiss my sweet, uh-huh.

04:20Never gonna stop.

04:21Never gonna stop.

04:22Never gonna stop.

04:23Never gonna stop.

04:24You can't prove it.

04:25Oh, oh.

04:28Let me get this straight.

04:30Roy's sister never came to visit him once while he was sick.

04:33And then flew in from Alberta two days after he died and told you to get out of the house?

04:39A sheriff showed up at the door and ordered me to leave.

04:42Didn't even have time to pack my things.

04:45Do you have any idea why Roy didn't update his will?

04:49Roy and I made a pact to stay positive.

04:53We never gave up on him getting better.

04:55Talking about his will would have felt like we were giving up hope.

04:59Well, from what you've told me, I believe you're entitled to a share of Roy's estate.

05:03Honestly, I don't care about the money or the stuff.

05:06The only thing that is important to me is Roy's ashes.

05:10I'll get Bonnie in and explain to her politely how the law works.

05:16We'll get this sorted.

05:17Oh, we need to scan the paper files in these boxes and get them organized on our server.

05:28You can do it on my phone.

05:29I'll leave you to it.

05:37No, no, no.

05:38It's Vincent and Vincent.

05:40We scan using this.

05:41Got it.

05:46I'll just stick around till you get the hang of it.

05:49It's one button.

05:50These machines jam up.

05:52That's why I was going to use my phone.

05:57If you don't mind sharing, can I ask what they're paying you?

06:01I'm doing my 30 hours of work experience for school credit.

06:05So you're getting paid...

06:07Nothing.

06:09Interesting.

06:10Okay, Cecil.

06:11Time for a juice box.

06:17How's it possible you're threatened by a teenage volunteer?

06:22The Peterson paralegal makes six grand more than me.

06:24The fact that I'm cheap is all I've got going for me in the layoffs.

06:27Don't we got the boss's granddaughter doing my job for free?

06:30I'm toast, Winston.

06:31If the Peterson paralegal makes more than you, that means you're underpaid.

06:35You need to ask Daniel for a raise.

06:37Were you not listening to anything I just said?

06:38You're selling yourself short.

06:39What if asking for a raise gives Daniel the ammo he needs to fire me?

06:42Cecil.

06:43You are an asset to the firm.

06:46If Daniel doesn't see that, he doesn't deserve you.

06:50This idea is making me dizzy.

06:51I need another juice box crayon apple this time, please.

07:01Thank you for showing Sofia the ropes.

07:04Oh, it's helpful to have her here this week.

07:06We need an extra set of capable hands to get everything digitized for the merger.

07:09I've been meaning to ask you, how are things going with Christina?

07:12Fine.

07:14And how is your little granddaughter?

07:17Lila is great.

07:19Have you reviewed the terms for my severance package?

07:24I have.

07:26Those are confident numbers.

07:27I know my worth.

07:28As do I.

07:29I'm not going to negotiate with you.

07:32Terms accepted.

07:35Does Daniel know I'm leaving?

07:37Not yet.

07:39I'll inform him that we've reached a deal.

07:43I'm sorry for the way this has played out.

07:47So am I.

07:48I'm going to see how Sofia's getting on.

07:58Hello, darling.

08:03I'll be right there.

08:07Afternoon.

08:09What brings you in today, Ryder?

08:11I want to sue my mom.

08:13On what grounds?

08:14She posted like a million embarrassing videos of me online when I was a kid.

08:19Without my consent.

08:20You don't need consent to record your own kid.

08:21Lots of parents post on social media.

08:23This is different.

08:24Mine's a momfluencer.

08:28This is me, age 10.

08:31Parkour, parkour!

08:35My nuggets!

08:36You're the hardcore parkour kid.

08:38That first video went viral.

08:40Once my mom started making ad revenue, she wanted me to do more and more fail videos.

08:44I was wearing the stupid cape.

08:46I hated it.

08:47Did you try telling her no?

08:48Could you tell your parents no when you were a kid?

08:51When I got older, she started recording me without me knowing.

08:56I feel so good.

08:58Mom, you're so pretty.

09:01My pants are wet.

09:02My pants are wet.

09:05I just got my appendix out.

09:07When I was still out of it, my mom put the cape on me and shot this for her vlog.

09:1318 million views.

09:15I was bullied at school, harassed on the bus.

09:17People still yell at me on the street asking where my cape is.

09:20That sounds awful.

09:22Ryder, I'm sorry.

09:24But these videos were taken a number of years ago.

09:26Why do you want to sue your mom now?

09:28I thought the stigma would fade as I got older.

09:31And people would forget.

09:33But last month was the 10 year anniversary of the first video.

09:37Where is the hardcore parkour kid now?

09:41I just want to be Ryder Metzger.

09:44My mom made that impossible.

09:48You probably have a case for intentional affliction of emotional distress and unjust enrichment.

09:54So glad my kids grew up without the world wide web.

09:57I will never put my child's image online.

09:59My parenting agreement with Maggie has a no posting quads baked in.

10:03My parents had no problem putting my bare bum all over the internet for the pedos to find.

10:07It was a different time.

10:08We didn't know the consequences back then.

10:11When JoJo was pregnant, she smoked cigarettes so I'd be small.

10:15Sophia, would you mind brewing a fresh pot of coffee?

10:18Sorry, Uncle Daniel.

10:19I don't know how, but I'd be happy to do a coffee run.

10:24I've got a meeting.

10:26How'd it go with Christian?

10:27Do you think he has a case?

10:28I do.

10:30Roy's sister and her lawyer are coming in tomorrow.

10:32Thanks.

10:34She was sipping a martini on the stern of her boat when, boom, aneurysm.

10:41She was pronounced dead on the dock when they got to shore.

10:47I can't believe my best friend is gone.

10:50Gabby Lipton was your best friend?

10:55No.

10:57There, there.

10:59There, there.

11:00There.

11:15Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

11:16Sorry, your best friend died, JoJo.

11:30Oh, thank you, sweetheart.

11:32I'm just upset that Gabby and I were in the middle of a silly spat.

11:36Good morning.

11:37Good morning.

11:39Oh, Harry, you can't wear navy to a funeral.

11:43You'll have to go change into proper mourning attire.

11:46I'm gonna go get in the shower.

11:51You had no intention of going to that funeral, did you?

11:54I'll tell everyone at work you say hi.

11:55Even if Roy didn't update his will to reflect his relationship with my client, it doesn't change the fact that Christian, as his common-law spouse, is entitled spouse.

12:13No.

12:15He's making this up to get my brother's money.

12:17How could you say that?

12:19As far as my client is concerned, there was no romantic relationship between Christian and Roy.

12:25How could there be?

12:27My brother wasn't gay.

12:38Is it possible Bonnie really didn't know her brother was gay?

12:42No.

12:43Roy came out to her a year and a half ago.

12:45He was too scared to do it in person, so he sent an email.

12:48I never read it, but Roy said it was not well received.

12:54I imagine her lawyer warned her that any whiff of homophobia would be a bad look in court, so he's grasping at straws with a scam angle.

13:02I need you to gather evidence that proves you and Roy were in a marriage-like relationship, okay?

13:07Photos, texts, tax filings, testimonials, can you do that?

13:11Yeah, this thought of court makes me sick.

13:15She may be poisonous, but she's still Roy's sister.

13:19Hopefully, we can drown the opposition in documents during discovery, in which case Colin may advise Bonnie to settle out of court.

13:26Or, better yet, Bonnie sees irrefutable evidence with her own two eyes and comes around herself.

13:31Yeah.

13:32I can't believe she won't acknowledge her brother was gay.

13:42Gay blinders.

13:43My mom believed Bowen was my roommate even after she saw we lived in a one-bedroom.

13:49People need to get over it. Everyone at my school is basically mine.

13:52Bye.

13:54Miss Bianchi, I emailed you a list of five-star contractors, and Granville Master Builders has the best reviews by far.

14:01Did you get a house without letting me see it first?

14:03No.

14:04Of course not.

14:06I'm just being proactive.

14:08May I have everyone's attention?

14:10I understand some of you may be struggling during this time of transition.

14:19As managing partner of this firm, it's important to me that my employees are happy.

14:24I know not everyone feels comfortable coming to the boss with concerns.

14:27For that reason, I have created a suggestion box.

14:33Staff can now anonymously offer comments, negative or positive.

14:38Don't be shy to tell us what we're doing right. I'll go first.

14:41I love seeing everyone's happy faces when I arrive at work.

14:49Putting that in, your feedback is important to us, and your suggestions will be taken seriously.

14:57Don't think about it, Abigail.

14:58He's practically handing this to me on a silver platter.

15:02There is no way this ends well.

15:05This is the perfect time to ask Daniel for a raise.

15:08I'm not ready.

15:09We practiced for an hour and a half last night.

15:11Go.

15:13All right.

15:22Wasn't a good time.

15:23He's preparing for a meeting.

15:27Intentional affliction of emotional distress? You can't be serious.

15:37My client has suffered long-term psychological damage.

15:40Because his mother posted some cute clips of him when he was a kid?

15:43They weren't cute. They were humiliating.

15:44But I just wanted to share with the world how adorable my son was.

15:48You exploited your son for profit.

15:50Ryder, you were ten, begging me for glow-in-the-dark sneakers for months.

15:56All the boys in my grade have fluorescent sneakers.

15:58They turn the lights off in the gym and everyone glows but me.

16:03I explained. I can't afford them.

16:05We're poor.

16:07You yelled.

16:09Don't be poor then.

16:11What did we do when I cashed my first ad revenue check?

16:15We went straight to RunGlow.

16:17Bought the sneakers.

16:19Thank you for the sneakers.

16:22Ms. Mesger, don't you see the irony?

16:25You were keenly aware of how image-conscious your son was,

16:28yet you promoted his fails.

16:29All the shiny shoes in the world wouldn't counter that.

16:31I'm a single mother.

16:32The channel was my sole source of income.

16:35It bought us a house.

16:37A car.

16:39I gave Ryder the upbringing I never had.

16:43Your sole source of income.

16:45You made hundreds of thousands from your son's humiliation.

16:48He was the one on camera, yet he never saw a dime.

16:52Hope we can settle.

16:58You don't have a case.

17:00But we would accept a withdrawal of your claim.

17:03That's not gonna happen.

17:09I prepared everything Christian sent over for discovery.

17:13And?

17:14Christian and Roy were clearly in a relationship.

17:16What was the relationship marriage like?

17:18Well, they didn't wear wedding bands.

17:20They kept separate bank accounts, and Christian was still paying rent on his old apartment.

17:25But they look super happy in the photos, though.

17:34Gabby always did throw the most lavish parties.

17:38Her funeral was no exception.

17:41It certainly wasn't.

17:42Rolls Royce, Hearst, Gospel Choir, Sarah May, and that funeral portrait.

17:48Well, that was overly airbrushed.

17:53It really was a wonderful service.

17:56She would have loved it.

17:59I wish I could have spoken.

18:01Gabby knew an open mic would have her gin-fueled ex-husbands lining up to air their grievances.

18:07She was a wise woman.

18:11Was she, though?

18:14Yes.

18:16I think you're idealizing the dead.

18:19Her favorite activities were shopping, gossiping, and boozy brunching.

18:23Wise isn't the first descriptor that comes to mind.

18:26Those are my favorite activities.

18:31Are you saying that I'm stupid, too?

18:33Of course not. I only meant you were adamant you were never going to speak to her again.

18:39Obviously, I didn't mean that. I don't even remember what I was so angry about.

18:43She made a move on me.

18:46Which she had every right to do.

18:47You were single.

18:48Don't you dare judge Gabby for that.

18:51You said she was dead to you.

18:53To me? I didn't want her actually dead.

18:56No one suggested that.

18:57Gabby was my best friend.

18:59So you said.

19:01Oh, you are clueless.

19:03You have always been clueless.

19:04I think we need some time apart.

19:14Okay, great.

19:15Thanks, Winston.

19:16I've got to go on meeting with that contractor you recommended.

19:20Okay, bye.

19:25Barthelona?

19:27Chocolate almond man.

19:34So, I'm surprised that you sent your son to France after the picture that you painted.

19:42I surprised myself.

19:44But it turned out to be just what Nico needed.

19:47Has he assimilated to Parisian culture?

19:50And by that, do you mean does he now wear a beret at all times?

19:53Obviously.

19:55Then yes.

19:57Did you hear about the kids' Louvre adventure?

19:59Yeah, Eloise told me that Madame Gale told them to go do some independent learning

20:02because she wanted to flirt with Mona Lisa's security guard.

20:05Three hours of self-guided study in the Renaissance era.

20:08My son's art history takeaway was boobs.

20:13So is this going to be a money pit?

20:15Uh, no.

20:16Although these pipes have been leaking for a while, so you are going to have to replace the floorboards.

20:20But it's not a big deal.

20:22I can have an estimate to you in a few days.

20:24Oh, and I'd get a few fans in here until then to try to dry the place out.

20:29Yep.

20:32Roy and I grew up in small conservative towns. There is a reason we both ended up in Vancouver.

20:44I guess I have gotten used to acceptance as being the norm.

20:48That's a testament to the great job you and Roy did finding community.

20:52Seeing the disgust in Bonnie's eyes just brought me right back to the shame I felt as a boy.

20:58I don't know how I'm going to face her in court.

21:01Then don't.

21:03Cross your eyes so she's blurry.

21:06Tune her voice out so she's just noise.

21:08Like Charlie Brown's teacher.

21:13That's pretty good.

21:15I'll be supporting you from the gallery the whole time.

21:17I promise.

21:18Real mature, Abby.

21:28Next time you plan a corporate retreat, don't.

21:32To be the face of the firm, first remove head from ass.

21:36Your lycra shorts make the office smell like sweaty bike butt.

21:38I don't have time for this. I'm due in court.

21:41Your brother is trying to do a good thing.

21:44I mean, right.

21:46That last one.

21:47That was me.

21:48Good morning.

21:50Good morning.

21:53Tell me, that sky really lights up your eyes. Is it new?

21:56No.

21:58Abigail, may I have a word?

21:59Gabby was her sworn enemy. Now Gabby was her best friend.

22:09It's called a frenemy.

22:11I merely suggested that Gabby wasn't that bosom a buddy.

22:14Why would you say that right after she died?

22:17To make her feel less sad about the loss.

22:20I don't understand why your mother is so upset.

22:22Her younger friend just dropped dead.

22:24Miss don't you dare call me the G word is probably realizing that no matter how much she wants to believe it, none of us are immortal.

22:32Including her.

22:40Ryder disoriented after surgery. Ryder writhing on the ground with a stomach ache after Ms. Mesker dared him to eat an entire fudge cake.

22:47Ryder crying because his mom told him she gave away his cat.

22:51Your Honor, my client has been traumatized by these humiliating videos Ms. Mesker made and shared without his consent.

22:58Ryder was never in on the joke. He was the joke.

23:02Counsel rests.

23:04Your Honor, if the plaintiff isn't in on the joke and so traumatized by these videos, why did he voluntarily dress up as hardcore parkour at fan events?

23:17Objection. This photo wasn't disclosed in Discovery. I request an adjournment to review the evidence.

23:25It's a photo. What's to review? Overruled.

23:28It's not just a photo. It's hundreds of photos.

23:34Mr. Mesker has made appearances at 11 fan conventions to date.

23:38Objection. Prejudicial. Ryder's participation in these events is not incongruent with his pain and suffering. My client is a victim of circumstance looking for agency.

23:45Sustained. Except he didn't just get agency. He got paid. On average, 10k a pop for these photo ops. So did my client ruin her son's life? Or set him up for life? With all due respect, you can't have it both ways.

24:04I was totally blindsided.

24:08I'm not surprised Ryder's doing fan conventions for money. He probably can't get a real job because of the videos. I have friends who can't get hired because there are photos of them online puking at a party.

24:20Harry hired Abby after. Her puking video? Kind of a low blow, Uncle Daniel. Still doesn't explain why you didn't get fired after the talking pug video went viral, though. You're both nepo babies. Mystery solved.

24:33Mystery solved. She's right. I read the Times article and I know what that means.

24:41I'm in court for the rest of the day, Soph. I'll bus home. See you for dinner.

24:44Have your friends really lost out on jobs because of stupid stuff they posted online?

24:48My friend Justin couldn't get an interview at Pizza's End because the manager found a video of him mooning a tour bus from three years ago.

24:56He was 14 when he did it, but it didn't matter.

25:01There is an abundance of evidence that my client and Roy Isham were in a marriage-like relationship.

25:07We have photos, testimonies from friends, an affidavit from Roy's oncologist stating that Christian attended all medical appointments and was a tireless advocate.

25:18In sickness and in health. Till death do us part.

25:23Christian and Roy honored the vows of marriage.

25:27Your Honor, my client was a devoted spouse. We ask that the distribution of Roy Isham's estate reflect that.

25:34Council rests.

25:39Your Honor, I'd like to call Christian Keller to the stand.

25:51Mr. Keller, when did you find out Mr. Isham had lung cancer?

25:56He was diagnosed two weeks after our first date.

25:59May I ask why you chose to pursue a relationship with a dying man?

26:03We thought we could beat it.

26:05But honestly, I was in love. I'd take whatever time I could get with Roy.

26:11Mr. Keller, who's Chad?

26:16I don't know.

26:18How about Rick?

26:20Objection. Relevance?

26:22Overruled. Please answer the question.

26:23Early on, Roy became too ill for sex.

26:32And he encouraged me to seek intimacy outside of the relationship.

26:39I did end up having maybe three or four one-off encounters with Roy's blessing.

26:46And where did these rendezvous happen?

26:49At my place.

26:50With Roy there?

26:52No. No, I never gave notice on my apartment when I moved in with Roy.

26:56I met my dates there.

26:59Wow. So, they had separate residences?

27:02Objection! For all intents and purposes, they were cohabiting.

27:04They didn't have sexual relations.

27:07They didn't enter the union with the intention of longevity.

27:09This wasn't a marriage-like relationship.

27:12This was one man preying on a dying man for a long-game payout.

27:16Nothing further, Your Honor.

27:21Alright, that is enough for today.

27:24Court is adjourned until Thursday, 10 a.m.

27:36Colin's a bully.

27:38And most of what came out of his mouth was garbage legal grandstanding.

27:41Never mind a gross invasion of privacy.

27:43This isn't over.

27:44It is over.

27:46I can't do this.

27:47I'm out. Just...

27:49drop the case.

28:00This feels so wrong.

28:02I never should have brought Christian into legal action.

28:04No, I meant giving up.

28:06I'm gonna get him back on board.

28:07Don't push it, Abby. He isn't ready.

28:09We can revisit this later.

28:10There is a time limit for making a will-variation claim.

28:12We're mid-trial.

28:13It's now or never.

28:14It has to come from him.

28:15I didn't know it was possible to get every single order right.

28:26Jerry, with an I.

28:28Even our names are spelled correctly.

28:30Not all heroes wear capes.

28:32Caffeinated and ready skin.

28:33She just can't pass up an opportunity to make me look bad, can she?

28:43Let's channel that misguided indignation into the task at hand.

28:47Go get that raise.

28:48Here's your coffee, Mr. Svensson. You might notice that your name is spelled right.

29:01Remember when I got you this bobblehead? Pretty cool, right?

29:04I'm glad you're here.

29:05I need you on this momfluencer case.

29:07I got an employer who says he didn't hire Ryder because of his internet infamy.

29:11He's unable to attend court, but he's willing to swear an affidavit.

29:18Happy to serve.

29:19I need it today.

29:20Actually, I came in here because I wanted to ask you about...

29:24Better hustle.

29:25Guys in Langley.

29:26It's at least an hour each way.

29:27Probably longer this time of day.

29:33You didn't even ask, did you?

29:35Sometimes the reward for hard work is more work.

29:39No, Cecil.

29:40It's more money.

29:41The reward for hard work is more money.

29:44So here's a breakdown of the quote.

29:46Could have just emailed it.

29:49Well, I just, you know, I wanted to walk you through it.

29:51Spend all my day in dusty spaces with sweaty men.

29:55Take any excuse I can to clear my nasal passages and talk to...

30:00Yeah, not a sweaty man.

30:03I'll leave that with you.

30:04You're getting other quotes, no doubt, as you should.

30:06No, this looks good. I want you.

30:09I mean, I want to work with you.

30:14I want to work with you, too.

30:16Jerry, could you use two tickets to the game tonight?

30:23No, thank you.

30:25They're good seats?

30:31They're great seats.

30:32Sure you don't want to take Joanne?

30:34She's, um, unhappy with me.

30:39Sure. I'll use the tickets.

30:43Great.

30:45Go pack up.

30:48We're going together.

30:49The fact that he wasn't there for me when I needed him the most.

31:00Boys are oblivious.

31:02I'm seriously questioning the entire relationship.

31:05Don't say that, Jojo.

31:06Hmm?

31:07Harry tried to be there for you.

31:09He just sucks at it.

31:10I haven't heard from your father.

31:13Because you said you needed space.

31:15I don't want to hear it.

31:16I've seen this song and dance too many times.

31:19So you're saying it's my fault that he couldn't meet my emotional needs?

31:22I'm saying you love the drama.

31:25You break up to make up.

31:26You did it with Gabby.

31:27You do it with Harry.

31:28It's not the same.

31:30No, it's not.

31:32What if Harry has a brain aneurysm while you're not speaking to him?

31:35Oh, and I'm the dramatic one.

31:47Your Honor, I'd like to submit into evidence an affidavit from an employer testifying that he decided not to hire a writer because he didn't want his business associated with the hardcore parkour kid.

31:57Objection.

31:58Relevance.

31:59I'll allow it.

32:02He has no choice but to accept work as his online persona because no one takes the real writer seriously.

32:08Ms. Mesger has made a very comfortable living for herself off of her son's image.

32:11Meanwhile, writer suffers the consequences, both personally and professionally.

32:16He continues to be stigmatized, harassed, abused.

32:20Every young adult deserves a chance to figure out who they are and find their place in the world.

32:24Ms. Mesger stole that from her son.

32:30You ever thought about law school?

32:31We could be colleagues one day.

32:33Hard pass.

32:34Just won my first personal injury case.

32:37Congratulations!

32:39I'm happy my 17-year-old daughter could help you with your legal argument.

32:42I'm not surprised.

32:43Sophia is a brilliant thinker and a breath of fresh air around here.

32:50Christian!

32:51I want to keep fighting.

32:55What made you change your mind?

32:56Well, I learned from one of Roy's co-workers that Bonnie held a memorial last night.

33:01I wasn't invited.

33:02That's awful.

33:03Apparently, she wants to take Roy's ashes to Alberta to be interred in the family plot.

33:08Roy hated it there.

33:09His final resting spot cannot be next to his homophobic family.

33:14No.

33:15The ocean was his happy place.

33:19He wanted his ashes scattered at sea.

33:21Now, I know this is a long shot, but I owe it to Roy to do everything in my power to have his wishes honored.

33:27Can you get me access to Roy's email account?

33:33Mrs. Blackwood, why did you and Roy stop communicating?

33:37I don't remember.

33:39Really?

33:40You don't remember when your brother told you he was gay?

33:43Objection.

33:44Asked and answered.

33:45I'll allow it.

33:47My brother wasn't gay.

33:48Maybe this will refresh your memory.

33:52It's an email Roy sent to you a year and a half ago.

33:56I know what it is.

33:58Oh, good.

33:59Can you read it out loud for the court, please?

34:02Do I have to?

34:04Yes.

34:10Hi, Bon.

34:12I write to you with wonderful news.

34:15I'm in love.

34:17With a man.

34:19His name is Christian.

34:20He's the funniest, smartest, most tender human I've ever met.

34:27He also loves Jeopardy, but please don't hold that against him.

34:31I suspect this might be a lot to take in, so I will leave it at that for now.

34:36I hope you can be happy for me because I'm happy.

34:41The happiest I've ever been, and I'm dying.

34:44So that says a lot.

34:47Your baby brother, Roy.

34:52I ask the court to recognize Christian's relationship with Mr. Isham,

34:57vary the will, and return his partner's ashes to him.

35:05You can go back to your seat.

35:07My condolences for the loss of your partner, Mr. Keller.

35:16Mr. Isham was very lucky to have you by his side during his illness.

35:20You clearly cared for each other deeply.

35:23That being said, the relationship does not meet the legal test for marriage like.

35:29Your claim to vary the will and last testament of Roy Isham is dismissed.

35:34However, I order Mrs. Blackwood to permit Mr. Keller access to the house so that he may collect his personal belongings.

35:41And the ashes?

35:43Mrs. Blackwood is the executor of the estate. They are her property.

35:46They are her property.

36:07Summer's off.

36:08I don't think it's fair that our paralegal makes so much less than the paralegal at Peterson.

36:24Our paralegal doesn't just do internet research and witness affidavits spelt wrong.

36:42He also scoops dog poop, goes on dangerous undercover missions, gives great presents like bobbleheads,

36:47and loves the people at this firm like his own family.

36:51Seriously.

36:55How do you know I wrote that?

37:00You, me, Memphis dry rub.

37:03Sounds painful.

37:04No, the barbecue place on Denman.

37:06I got the rays.

37:07I'm taking you out for dinner.

37:09Yes!

37:10Can we get some packing tape to close these boxes?

37:22Roy and I kept the tape in the everything drawer in the kitchen.

37:40We've been here long enough.

37:53Some of these books are mine.

37:56It'll take as long as it takes, Mrs. Blackwood.

37:59Where'd that lawyer woman go?

38:00What are you doing in here?

38:08This belongs to Christian.

38:12I feel sad for you, Bonnie.

38:15Never got to know the real Roy.

38:17You missed out.

38:18You missed out.

38:40Hey, Dad.

38:41How you doing?

38:42Fine.

38:43I know you went to a funeral.

38:46Was there something you needed?

38:47I just wanted to let you know things went smoothly while you were gone.

38:48In fact, I implemented a suggestion box, which led to some meaningful conversations with the staff.

38:52I managed to retain at least one disaffected employee.

38:53Speaking of employee retention, I have a staffing update for you.

38:56Hey, Dad.

38:57How you doing?

38:58Fine.

39:00I know you went to a funeral.

39:03Was there something you needed?

39:05I just wanted to let you know things went smoothly while you were gone.

39:08In fact, I implemented a suggestion box, which led to some meaningful conversations with the staff.

39:13I managed to retain at least one disaffected employee.

39:16Speaking of employee retention, I have a staffing update for you.

39:21you. You can't leave. You're the only person that has my back. You don't need my protection.

39:34You're a partner now. And you don't need to prove to anyone that your name belongs on that door.

39:43I can't imagine this place without you. Don't you dare. I'm not ready for goodbyes.

39:51I'm here a while yet.

40:11Joanne. I hope you don't mind me just showing up. Of course not. I, uh, wanted to speak to

40:18you. Privately. Do you want to sit down? Uh, I'd rather stand.

40:31I've been thinking a lot about our relationship the last couple of days.

40:35And I finally had some clarity. We're both very stubborn. We find it hard to move forward,

40:44Harry. And I realized... You realize this will never work and we should cut our losses.

40:48No. I realized that life's too short to let petty fights distract us from our deeper feelings.

41:05Harry's fence. Will you marry me?

41:07Harry. That is a woman's ring. Yes. I picked it out and paid for it myself as a gift to you.

41:18Harry. Yes. I would love nothing more than to marry you.

41:34Harry. I think he's been a woman. It's a woman's ring.

41:37Oh my God.

41:39No. Why is it that I find you ever. It's you.

41:42No. Why is it that I find you ever? It's you.

41:47It's you.

41:48It's you.

41:50It's you.
