01x79 - Episode 79

[bunniefuu]

Wait. I love you. Why can't that
be enough for now?

Because "not now" or "not yet"

-doesn't feel like love.
-It's okay.

I'll be damned if I let Joey
have his way with me.

You sure you haven't already?

My nephew Andre?

How could you do
something like this?

You're trying
to save our marriage.

But right now,

I'm working on trying
to save me.

Let's see what color's
your money.

You lost the man?!

You will pay the price.

[scoffs]

These people
are really trying me.

Zach, draft a reminder
for my fellow representatives

that I've already made it clear
that I'm not voting

unless the funds
for affordable housing

have been explicitly earmarked.

Please make sure
that's understood.

Thanks.

[door closes]

Hello?

Someone in here?

[door closes]

Well, ain't you the vision
of health today, Congressman?

-You.
-[chuckles]

All these fancy workout toys

for you rich folk to play with.

Reckon a good old boy like me

could only dream of belonging
to a place like this.

Unless, of course,
someone like you

were to help me out with that.

[stranger chuckles]

Relax.

Why are we wasting time
sitting around?

The lab better have come through
with those DNA results.

Well, hello to you too, Kat.

Don't give me that face.

Jacob, please tell me

we have what we need to take
that psychotic b*tch down.

Are you lost?

Actually,
I'm right where I need to be.

Now...

...just which b*tch
were we talking about?

♪ ♪

DANI: These model release forms
need to be comprehensive.

Full protection for the talent,
limited usage for the client.

Great. Handle it
and get back to me.

[sighs] Just because
I'm a pretty face doesn't mean

I don't know my business.

BILL: That's because
I taught you well.

Mm-mmm. No, you are not here.

Well, I can be.
To help you with the contracts

for your new modeling agency.

I don't need help.

You just saw that I'm--

-Miss me?
-No.

Why can't I get you
off my mind today?

Done. Over.

Gone.

[sighs]

-Dani?
-Yeah.

Thanks for checking on me.

I appreciate it.

Oh, Bill.

PAMELA:
Put that phone down right now.

Did I just hear you say "Bill"?

Dani, girl,

what are you doing?

Having fun with your new toy?

Uh...

you know, Vernon...

...I spent decades
intimidating people

with my words in the courtroom.

But this?

This is power
I can hold in my hand.

People see a man with a cane,
they think...

...wisdom, authority,

danger.

Funny you say that.

You'll need all three to deal
with this particular challenge.

Mm. You mean that blast from
the past doling out threats?

You didn't think I summoned you
so I could witness

your piss-poor attempt
at a pimp walk?

[chuckles] Yeah,
that was just me fooling around.

Save it.

We need to discuss
the problem at hand

-and what we're gonna do
about it.
-Mm.

Careful, Vernon.

Last time I checked,
we don't have a problem.

You do.

So, that covers
what the physical layout

of the clinic's office
will look like

after the current renovations.

But I want to be clear

regarding the responsibilities

of what you'll be doing
at my office there and here.

Besides the standard duties
of bookkeeping,

marketing and managing staff,

this role requires
something special.

Whatever is needed, I'm ready.

Well, see, the thing is,
Kat didn't just run the office.

Um, she had its heart.

The staff could come to her
about anything

from professional challenges
to personal crisis.

And she had this gift where
she could alleviate tensions

and... lift spirits.

Of course she did.

Mm. So, essentially, you'll be
a one-woman HR department.

And on top
of your administrative duties,

the staff needs to feel like
your door's always open.

Like Kat.

And you'll be the point person

on the renovation project
as well.

Is there a problem?

Ted, I'm grateful
for the opportunity.

But you need someone
experienced and qualified,

and that is certainly not me.

Eva.
[stammers]

Eva.

Okay.

All right.

So,

Kenneth,

if that's your real name...

You don't trust my credentials?
[chuckles softly]

Shouldn't you set a better
example than that, Congressman,

instead of doing
what your kind usually does?

My kind?

Looking down on the help

from those ivory towers
you've all built.

Enough of this... performance
and all the side effects.

You're wasting my time.

What exactly do you want?

What I want is
to watch you squirm

like a worm on a hook.

Especially after that night.

You do remember that night,
don't you?

[chuckles]
Would you look at that?

The man who never shuts
his mouth in Congress

suddenly has nothing to say.

I didn't approach you in
a locker room and threaten you.

[chuckles]

You're slick with it,
Congressman.

Someone's being mighty cautious
with his words.

[chuckles]

What's wrong--

are you afraid
I might be wearing a wire?

Or I have a hidden camera
set up somewhere?

Can we just get on with it?

There you go again,

trying to rush
to the finish line.

But I like watching you
strut around here,

wearing your fancy suits,

playing big-shot politician,

all the while
wondering if today's the day

your house of cards
comes tumbling down.

Speaking of perfect...

hmm, how are
those adopted kids of yours?

What the hell did you just say?

I bet you have real nice plans
for their futures, huh?

Especially little Samantha. Ooh.

My, oh, my, she is getting
prettier by the day.

Keep my daughter's name
out your mouth.

Oh, Congressman, you just added
another ten grand to your tab.

[chuckles]

You're not
in your courtroom, Bill,

so you may want
to dial back that attitude.

[chuckles softly]

And why would I want to do that?
Hmm?

Especially when it's
the great Vernon Dupree,

the architect
of Black excellence

coming to me yet again,
hat in hand.

Have you forgotten
who you are, Bill?

'Cause I sure as hell
haven't forgotten who I am.

"Hat in hand."

Let's get to it.

We've got pressing matters
that affect us both.

And yet I remain unaffected.

Maybe that stroke has taken
a toll on your memory

and you've forgotten your role
in all of this.

You were there
from the beginning, Bill,

which means if we fall,

you fall, too.

My memory is intact.

In fact...
[grunts]

I can remember every single
request you've ever made of me.

But there is something
I can't quite recall.

Name one moment
when this family was in crisis

that the mighty Duprees
didn't need me

to clean up their messes.

You can't.

I've always been
your personal janitor.

If you're waiting
for me to grovel,

-you'll be waiting a long time.
-[chuckles]: Oh.

Oh, I'd pay good money to see
Vernon Dupree on his knees.

But for now, I'll just settle
for what I rightly deserve.

Oh. A swift kick in the keister?

[chuckles softly]
A genuine apology

for how your family
has treated me and my wife.

Stop lurking in my doorway
like you're casing the place

and come inside.

That tone right there,

that irritated little snap--

that is my Bill Hamilton
early warning system going off,

and it is ringing
like a 5:00 a.m. alarm.

I hate that you can
read me so well.

After decades
of watching you ride

this particular
emotional roller coaster,

I think I have a PhD
in Dani Dupree's Bill issues.

So, what is prompting
this sudden urge

to invite more rejection
into your life?

I just want to make
a simple phone call.

Mm-hmm. Which will be picked up

by his secretary or allowed
to bounce to voicemail.

He will answer my call.

Only if he thinks
it's something about the girls.

-You don't know that.
-Okay,

let's replay
the last six months, hmm?

Am I wrong?

Not exactly.

Dani.

Everything feels different
since the stroke.

Watching him in that hospital
bed, so vulnerable,

I don't know,

maybe mortality has a way of
putting things into perspective.

So this call,

this is only about checking up
on his health?

Of course.

Nothing more?

No lingering feelings?

No what-ifs floating around
that lovesick head of yours?

Honestly...

...I'm not sure anymore.

Jacob and I were having
a private conversation.

So, bye.

Go find another table to haunt.

[chuckles]

Well, I know that
I'm the big bad Miss b*tch

that you both were running
your big old mouths about.

And, quite frankly,
I'm really getting tired

of you trying to frame me
for crimes I didn't commit.

Frame you? Please.

We're just trying to put
your trifling behind on blast

-for who you really are.
-Kat, fall back.

Let's hear what she has to say.

You pulled up to our table
for a reason. Talk or walk.

You heard the real detective,
Kit Kat.

So go play with your baby dolls

and let the grown folk
handle this.

The big badge,

bigger ego detective

and the brat
with no impulse control.

Watching you both
get all worked up

is better than Sunday brunch.
[chuckles]

But, see, I know
how this game works.

Yeah. You're gonna try
to plant evidence--

more evidence-- on me and, uh,

fabricate a few
witnesses, and...

and just keep pinning
everything on me.

So spill--

what exactly is it that you're
trying to prove I did this time?

Watching Bill struggle
to lift his arm,

suddenly I wasn't
the wronged ex-wife anymore.

I was just his Dani.

The same woman who knew
exactly how he liked his coffee

during those long nights
at the office.

Even with Hayley right there,

standing beside him,

playing the devoted wife?

Oh. Her.

That woman can take a whole
stadium's worth of seats.

If I am being honest,
which I guess I am today,

there was another part of me
that would have...

considered making him flatline
right then and there.

Excuse me,
didn't you officially resign

being armed and dangerous?

Yes.

I didn't mean it.

I know you didn't.

But, Dani,

there's got to be
some middle ground

between wanting Bill dead
and wanting him back.

VERNON:
You shattered

my baby girl's world.

Oh, not this tired
song and dance.

-[scoffs]
-And then you betrayed
your own flesh and blood.

Naomi and Chelsea
still carry the scars.

And you have the nerve,

the audacity
to demand an apology from me?

It's a two-way street, Vernon.

Your family's warm welcome
left scars of its own.

The way you all treated Hayley.

That woman you married
deserved--

well, she earned--
all the disrespect

that she received from
my daughter and granddaughters.

And in spite of that,

I've treated her with restraint

and will continue to do so.

But as for you, however,

I don't owe you jack.

Mm.

Now who's having a memory lapse?

You want me to lay it out
chapter and verse?

All the deals I brokered,

the off-the-book meetings
I've taken,

the palms I've greased.

Machinations that served you
more than they did me.

Hmm. Even the ones that forced
us to have this discussion?

Listen, things have changed,
Vernon.

Right? Now,
I answered your summons

because even though I'm no
longer a member of your family,

my daughters are.

And in deference to them,

of course I was willing

to continue
to offer my services to you,

but I will not abide your
disrespect of my wife and me.

You don't want me at your table?

I'll be damned
if I do your bidding.

And I will not regret
you closing this door.

But you certainly will.

I asked you here because I'm
trying to throw you a life raft.

Is that how you're framing this?

Hmm? As some generous offer to
bring me back into the kingdom?

No, no, that ship
has not just sailed--

it hit an iceberg and sank
to the bottom of the sea.

Hmm. Okay.

Okay, so what then?

Hmm?

What, I go from
family disgrace to savior

all because
the great Vernon Dupree

needs another cleanup job?

And when this
particular fire is out

and your precious dynasty
is once again safe and sound

thanks to me,

then I, what,

hmm, go back to being a pariah?

I realize that someone
so self-absorbed as you

would have trouble
with this concept.

Okay, well,
then please enlighten me.

Because between all
your grandstanding and bluster,

what I'm hearing is there's
no forest past these trees.

Or maybe I'm missing it.

So tell me, Vernon,

if you want me to save you
and yours one more time...

what's in it for me?

Attaboy.

You want to play games? Fine.

But let's just call it
what it is: blackmail.

Now, why do you have
to make it sound so ugly?

Because you're ugly,
and the whole situation is foul.

Some backwoods nobody trying to
squeeze a sitting congressman.

The irony is hilarious

if it wasn't so damn pathetic.

I prefer to call it
what it really is.

Justice.

The kind money can buy.

Name your price.

How much is it gonna cost
to you to go ghost?

Hmm. Well, seeing as how
I'm just a simple working man.

I'm thinking, uh...

hundred thou?

Figure that's not much for
someone who was born and raised

all high and mighty
behind these fancy gates.

Bet. I'll write the check now.

Hell, I'll write ten of them

to make sure
we never cross paths again.

[chuckles]

It's funny you should say that.

What's funny?

Well, you didn't really think
one payment

was gonna square away
what happened, did you?

[chuckles]:
No, Congressman.

That's just the start.

Mm-hmm.

You and me?

Oh, we're gonna have ourselves

a long
and profitable partnership.

Look, if you're done
with whatever this is,

there's actual work
that needs to be done here.

And miss out on the twos of you
plotting my downfall?

[chuckles]

I don't think so.

See, I've been thinking.

'Kay? And in order for me
to protect myself

from this amateur, uh, hour
investigation...

...how 'bout I just join
the team?

Wow.

The delusion on this one

-is real.
-Hmm.

Use the little fancy
private school education

your pappy paid for, sweetie.

Now, Detective,

you know I'm making sense.

I mean, if we work together,

then we can actually find out

who has done these horrible
things to poor little Laura.

Who said anything about Laura?

LESLIE:
News flash.

Baby, I am more
than just glam and charm.

And if I'm half as cunning
as you actually claim I am,

then wouldn't you rather
work with me

than against me?

And what if I tell you to take
your blackmail and shove it?

There's that ugly word again.

Why don't we think of it
as, um...

Oh, what's that stupid term
you people use?

Right. Reparations.

Say what?

You want to be compensated
for what you set in motion?

You no-good piece of--

Now, Congressman,
don't get carried away.

I don't need you to respect me,

but I do need you to fear me.

Don't make things worse
when all I'm trying to do

is get mine
and watch you bleed green.

-I haven't agreed.
-You miss

one payment, step one privileged
little toe out of line

and you'll become headline news.

And it's not gonna be the kind

that gets you
to the White House.

The Duprees built this community
in a time where you and I

were drinking
from separate water fountains.

We've handled more than
just some crass, common thug

with delusions of grandeur.

Don't give me
that civil right BS.

I'm the one
that has right on my side.

You forgot how powerful
my family is.

Oh, yeah.

Thanks for reminding me.

I've learned a lot
since I've been here--

about how this town
runs on favors.

So I'm gonna need
some of those, too.

And you think you're gonna
get away with this?

I have people that will
make you disappear

without even a fingerprint.

[chuckles]:
Oh.

Big talk from a man
with big secrets.

But tell me something,
Congressman.

If you have all this power...

...why haven't you used it yet?

Uh-huh.

That's what I figured.

Keep the cash flowing,
pick up when I call,

and we can keep your secrets
buried deep where they belong.

Oh, and, Congressman...

stay where I can see you.

You know better than most
what happens in the dark.

[chuckles]

[shuddering]

[grunts]

What you stand to gain, Bill,
is a promise.

If you don't make this right,

you'll wish you never
came through those gates

in that rusted-out ride

thinking you were worthy
of my daughter.

Oh, I already regret that.

Worst mistake of my life,

getting in bed with the Duprees.

You don't know what regret is.

Not yet.

But remind me again--

who introduced you to
every power player in the city?

[chuckles softly]
I earned my place.

You earned nothing.

Like it or not,

my influence
is woven into your success--

stitched into every seam,

a thread you can't pull

without unraveling
everything you've built.

There would be no Law Offices
of Bill Hamilton, Esquire,

without the doors I opened.

That debt has been paid
and then some.

A debt to the Duprees
comes with interest.

You can...

help us rectify, correct this
situation that you mishandled.

I mishandled nothing.

Or you can disavow
any knowledge and walk away.

Oh. I choose the latter.

Is that wise?

Without prompt
and definitive action,

this matter could escalate.

And when it does,

I may be called upon
to make statements

regarding what transpired

and where the blame lies.

Statements that I'm prepared
to dispute.

But who'd be believed?

The slick fixer

or the revered senator?

And when all the dust settles,

who will still hold power?

A lawyer left adrift
by fleeing clients

or the ally of a family
whose name will echo in history

long after both of us
are nothing but memories?

What do you need?

Wait for my call.

Be prepared to move fast.

Remember...

discretion.

Don't I always?

The Dani I knew didn't sit
around pining over some man.

She didn't do basic.

She didn't do boring.

Definitely didn't do begging.

And yet here you are,
acting all brand-new

over Bill Hamilton,
of all people.

It's different when you've lived
a life with someone.

We created
two beautiful daughters,

-built something lasting.
-[sighs]

-Only it didn't last.
-That's not fair.

No, it is not. Not to you.

Not after everything
that he has done to you.

And yet you're thirsting
over him

as if he's the last drop
of water.

And meanwhile it's Andre
who's keeping your bed warm.

The man does know how to make
a woman feel special.

Okay. Then why are we
even having this conversation?

Dani Dupree
doesn't go backwards.

Especially when she's got better
waiting for her in her future.

Eva.

My bad. I know you probably
can't stand the sight of me,

-so I'll get out of here.
-Hold on a minute.

Are you okay?

Not even close.

I... I just really need
to ask you something.

And I know I have no right,
not after what I did to you--

Eva, just ask.

When I worked for you,

was I actually good?

Or were you just
being nice to me?

You weren't good.

You were brilliant.

Really?

You were organized, efficient,

intuitive
where you needed to be.

Is this really
what's bothering you?

Ted offered me Kat's position
at his private practice.

Ah.

And it's for real got me shook.

You're worried about messing up?

Yes.

I just don't want to disappoint

the one parent I got
who actually wants me.

KAT:
After everything

this woman
put my family through,

she waltzes in here

talking about joining forces?

Girl, bye.

Actually, not even bye.

Get out. Immediately.

LESLIE:
Oh, sweetie.

It must be exhausting being you

and-and being this pressed.

You know,

Detective, I think
maybe Baby Detective over here

needs some decaf
before she blows a head gasket.

Hey, watch how you talk to her.

Kat's done more legitimate
detective work in six months

-than you've done honest things
your entire life.
-[gasps]

Ooh, the persecution is real.

This witch hunt
that you're running. Oh.

Yeah, I guess it's not giving
what you think it's giving, huh?

That's why I called

a very powerful,
very expensive old friend.

Okay.

LESLIE:
Yeah, when I told him
about your little case...

[chuckling]
he laughed so hard

that I thought
he was gonna need his, uh,

stroke medication again.

Ooh, goodie! Okay,

so it seems like you guys know
exactly who I'm talking about.

Oh. This is perfect, honey,

'cause I don't have to waste
time with introductions. Whoo!

[chuckles]
Oh.

Right.

Especially when you both
get served.

Ciao.

Did she just...

Yeah, she did.

Look, Eva,
what happened between us...

...yes, there's
a lot to unpack there.

Understatement.

But you ran my office
flawlessly.

And that is why Ted
offered you Kat's position.

He knows talent when he sees it.

But this is nothing
like working for you.

I'm mad green to all of it,

and it's not like
Kat's gonna show me the ropes,

consider she thinks
I'm a curse upon humanity.

You're worried
about filling Kat's shoes?

Girls like Kat grew up

knowing which fork to use
at those fancy cotillions.

Me?

I was trying to learn
how to stretch a dollar

at a grocery store.

I'm not prepared
for any of this.

So I told Ted,
"Yeah, thanks, but, no, thanks."

If you are
genuinely not interested,

I respect that.

And Ted will, too.

But if this is
just your anxiety talking,

scared of trying something new,

it's human.

But don't let
your fear of failure

stop you from even trying.

But what if I crash and burn?

Then you learn

and you do better.

But from what I've seen,

you're not gonna have
many problems.

You really believe that?

It doesn't matter
what I believe.

Do you want to know a trick
that they teach you

at those fancy cotillions?

What?

The hardest part
isn't doing the thing.

It's believing
that you deserve it.

My love,

Chicago may have your body,

but I know
it doesn't have your soul.

That still lives
right here with me.

Uh, the old manor...

[chuckles] seems so hollow
without your laughter

echoing through these halls.

And no matter
how many lights I turn on...

[sighs] everything is dimmer
while you're away.

-[door opens, closes]
-Uh, I'll call you back.

Love you.

He cornered me
in the locker room.

-How much?
-A hundred grand.

-That's it?
-That's just the ante.

He wants regular payments
and favors.

-Said he's gonna be around
for a long, long time.
-[scoffs]

That's what he thinks.

Maybe we should just come clean.

I'm tempted to call his bluff
and go public.

-And then I can control
the narrative.
-Mm.

Martin!

Don't you dare.

I know.

[grunting]: We should've handled
this years ago,

cleaned it up properly.

Well, now it's coming back
around, all right?

We may need more...

more permanent measures.

Look, just be ready, all right?

Things could get messy.

Look, just do as I'm...

Look, I'll call you back.

Those files you wanted
on the Roberson case.

Look, the next time
you barge into my office

without knocking, Navarro,

you're fired.

Oh, I can't wait
to get past this legal mess

so we can start
finding our stars.

Remember, pretty faces
are a dime a dozen.

I know, I know. We need a girl
with that special something.

And the discipline
to back it up,

no matter how gorgeous she is.

Mm-hmm.

Hmm. What? Did something
capture your attention?

Yeah, there's something
about this insurance clause

that isn't quite right.

Hmm.

DANI:
What is

this phobia about
doctors' visits and hospitals?

Does it have to do
with your mother passing?

Not everything is a thing, Dani.

Okay?

Look, if a person tells you
that they prefer,

I don't know, sparkling water
over still water,

are you gonna demand that they
get to the root of the aversion?

Okay, okay. But when I went
into labor with Naomi,

-Dani.
-it took every ounce

of your courage
to stay in that hospital.

[sighs] Look, I was better
by the time we had Chelsea.

Yes, but the discomfort
was still all over you.

You kept saying, "This place
makes you sicker by the day."

Is it really that bad?

Listen...

...I'm not here
to make you talk about anything

that you don't want
to address yet.

But I want to let you know
that when you're ready,

-I'm here for you.
-Mm-hmm.

-All right?
-Okay.

-We're a team.
-Yeah.

-Let me help you slay
those dragons.
-Yeah.

You help me slay those dragons.

-Big, bad Bill Hamilton.
-[chuckling]

-Oh. Is that what it is?
-Mm. Mm. Mm-hmm.

-Uh-huh?
-Slaying dragons.

-[giggling]
-[chuckles]

Dani?

Oh.

There.

Is that all there is?

Yes. I'll get these
to the attorney

-so we can get the train
rolling.
-Yes.

And please confirm
that they made those changes

I called about earlier.

Oh, absolutely.

Once we get this paperwork done,

we can kick things
into high gear.

-Mm.
-Now give me my pen.

-It's a good one. [laughs]
-[laughs]

All right, go, go, go.

-Mwah. Mwah.
-Love you.

-Love, love, love.
-[chuckles]

Oh. Oh, goodness.

Bye. Bye.

[sighs]

Eyes forward, Dani.

Sorry, boss,
but the door was open,

so I just figured I'd drop these
on your desk real quick.

What, your fancy law school
not teach you how to knock?

Or did you just sleep
through Basic Manners 101?

Usually if the door's open,
you're fine with us coming in.

Man, that must have been
some serious business

on that phone call.
Someone coming for you?

Hey, let me tell you something,
all right?

I'll give you a bit of advice

that might save your life
one day in this profession.

Sometimes knowing too much

is more dangerous
than not knowing enough.

My bad.

Sometimes it's just hard
to read you.

Well, you'll learn.

In the meantime...

[grunts]

...do as I say and not as I do.

What does that mean?

Figure it out.

Martin, we've been over this.

You cannot breathe a word
about that night to anyone.

I can't keep living like this,
Granddad.

Always looking over my shoulder,

wondering when things
are just gonna fall apart.

You won't have to do that
much longer.

We will handle this
like we handle everything

that tries to tear us down.

There's too much at stake
not to.

If you say so.

[scoffs]

Isn't it ironic?

-What?
-Remember,

you were concerned
that my secret would be blown

during my presidential vetting.

Ha. Little did I know
that the true threat

was a bigoted busboy.

And when you say "play it out,"

what are you suggesting?
We just continue to pay him

until he bleeds us dry?

That's not what I'm saying
at all.

We wait,

we watch,

and we'll see what happens next.

Checking in to see if the Wicked
Witch of D.C. pops back in?

Leslie feels like that villain
in a horror film.

When you think you're safe
and then, boom,

she jumps out of the lake
grabbing your ankles.

Well, trust,
she's actually gone this time.

Probably off harassing
some other innocent victims.

Now stop stalling

and spill the tea
you've been sitting on

since Miss Unhinged
crashed our lunch.

The DNA test results came in.

There's a 97.5% positive match.

Yes! Finally!

Oh! Leslie's gonna get hers.

Hold up. Don't pop
the champagne just yet.

If this isn't a cause
for celebration, what is?

We've got her dead to rights.

Sorry, cuz, but this isn't the
victory lap you're looking for.

Yes, I need
a temp immediately. Yes.

Someone experienced
in medical office management.

Yes, thank you.

I'm back for my job.

Uh, let me-let me call you back.

So, where were we
before I had my little moment?

Eva, are you sure?

I don't want to pressure you.

I had a talk with someone
who reminded me

that being scared
of doing something new

just means it's worth doing.

And this practice--
by the time I'm done with it,

the people are gonna say,

"How did we ever run
this place without Eva?"

Mm.

That's quite
a mission statement.

Look, I know
I have big shoes to fill,

but I also know what I can do
when I put my mind to it.

If you're willing to trust me.

I wouldn't have hired you
if I wasn't.

Okay.

Let's get to work.

Show me everything Kat did
and watch me do it better.

Okay.

I don't understand
what you're saying right now.


a slam dunk. We got her.

We can prove Leslie
wore the helmet at some point.

What we can't prove
is that it was the same helmet

worn by whoever ran her
off the road.

Are you for real right now?

Leslie ran her off the road.

We both know it.

It doesn't matter what we know,
only what we can prove.

And the potassium poisoning?

Still not enough grounds
to establish a charge.

I cannot believe
what I'm hearing right now.

[scoffs]

So where do we go from here?

No.

Definitely not.

Possible.

Who told you
that was your angle?

Too commercial.

Too edgy.

[groaning]
Choose a lane.
