What preceded:
Until I find something... - She moves in with me.
If you two break up, I don't want to have to choose sides.
This is Sabrina Bass, soon to be Connery Bass' ex-wife.
What does a lesbian bring on a date? A moving van.
I'm suspended. - You can't come to work anymore.
That's a recommendation, not a requirement.
Dad, maybe some time off is good for you.
How did you get this? - From Isabelle.
Daddy's new girlfriend. I met her this weekend. She is nice.
Harry, it's only been a month. Think of it as vacation. Enjoy it.
I like going to work. A nice suit, attentive staff.
My ungrateful children have banished me.
You are not King Lear. Stop whining.
Join us on a house hunt.
No thanks. I'd rather... - Mugs in your dressing gown?
Take a shower and get dressed. We leave in half an hour.
Now I claim that the orchid is property and not a child of marriage.
We'll talk to you later.
Everthing allright? Also with the children? - Yes fine.
Yesterday Nico said something about a new girlfriend.
You introduced them to each other.
What's her name again? Oh yes, Isabelle.
Isabelle is my girlfriend.
Nico and I saw her at the children's market.
Did you happen to meet her?
She's a kindergarten teacher. She bought drawing supplies.
A kindergarten teacher?
Nice cliche. - Firefighter?
Do they cut your sandwich into pieces? - Stop.
I don't run into my girlfriend with our kids.
It wasn't ideal. I'm sorry.
But I hoped I could introduce her to the kids sooner.
So that's why you liked Aidan.
I wanted to build trust.
If it suits you. You wanted to control my life.
You took us to court and now you want to change a clause...
because you are in love with a teacher? Sorry no.
We don't adjust anything.
You wanted it that way. Too bad.
Good morning. How did the rest of the move go?
Returned the moving van? - Still not funny.
Come on, there was a real moving van at the door.
It was a snap. What was I supposed to do then?
It's stereotyping. - You must be able to take a joke.
'You'?
Psychologists.
Great, you're here. Jerri, get everyone together.
I know there were concerns about my father's suspension.
But rest assured, my steady hand will steer the ship.
Mr. Svensson... - Wait a minute.
If you have any questions, you can always ask me.
Is the new copier coming yet? - What about my holidays?
Questions about office management, HR, IT, health and safety...
are for Jerry.
Thank you. Yes, Abbie?
Is your office big enough for your new ego?
Winston, what was your question?
There are clients waiting in the boardroom.
Who did they ask for? - No one.
They don't have a lawyer yet. - Say nothing.
Abby, go ahead. I have to run a whole company.
Sorry for the wait. Abigail Bianchi.
I'm Paul, this is my wife Margo and our son Rory.
I have math now. - I know dear.
We went to a lawyer today.
I have maths. - I'll get you something to eat.
Rory is angry about being expelled from school.
First the banana. - We now have an orange.
Pretend you've already eaten the banana. - We want to sue his school.
Why was Rory expelled from school? - No, first the banana.
Rory eats a banana and then an orange every morning.
He has autism. Changes are destabilizing.
Here instead of school, the wrong snack...
It's getting too much for him. - That must be heavy.
It was manageable, but since puberty...
it is triggered faster. His outbursts are...
It's intense. - Also for Maisie.
Our seven-year-old daughter. His school should take him back.
Are there special schools that would be suitable?
But they are private. We can't afford that.
Rory has the right to an education just like any other child.
Without school, we have to take care of him 24 hours a day.
Exhausted parents are of no use to Rory.
No one expects it to be easy...
but can the school board just abandon us?
There are hundreds of students.
If Rory showed dangerous behavior, they had to send him away.
He went wild with that tangerine.
How does this affect his right to education?
Homeschooling is their best option. - Says the man without children.
One of them should quit his job.
And his parents only have a rest when Rory is at school.
Parents of disabled children should be teachers...
social worker, therapist. Totally unrealistic.
We cared for Eleanor's mother for a year after her stroke.
Burnout is no small thing.
All right then. Go to the school.
They're bound to give in at the slightest legal action.
But come back soon. We have more business.
I need to talk to you in private.
The news about Harry is out.
Winston receives constant calls from nervous customers.
We have to limit the damage. - It's only a month.
Harry's suspension has damaged confidence in the firm.
Good. Give me a list and I'll call.
Sabrina Bass is about to leave.
Connery Bass is an icon, she is a meaningless gold digger.
Maybe it won't be so bad if she leaves.
That would be very bad.
Fine. I'll call her first.
No, don't call. Have lunch with the idle gold digger.
I'm going to Rory's school.
Meanwhile, find all the Isabelles...
surname unknown, who work in kindergartens.
Fine. Which client is this for?
Can't say. Strict secret.
We don't have a customer code for that.
Sofia and Nico gave me strict instructions.
The new house must have a swimming pool.
Look at that.
And the privacy.
We never have to wear swimsuits again.
Yes, it's beautiful.
You're ruining my shopping spree.
Do you live around the corner or something?
The cook is a friend. We know each other from 40 Under 40.
40 Under 40 worldwide? - No, another one.
My ex would love this.
"Don't brag about your money."
The food is delicious.
A second class diner can still...
but not a second-rate lawyer.
I'm not Harry's double.
I am an associate with an impeccable reputation.
I searched on Google and saw a talking pug.
Daniel? - Chef Martina.
This is Sabrina Bass. She is an important client.
Then I present our new tasting menu.
Fine, as long as we start with Wagyu beef tartare.
Unfortunately we don't serve that. We have quail shots in shell.
Quail? That's so last year.
Was Rory deliberately violent? - No, but disruptive.
On purpose?
I hate that it had to come this far.
Rory is a sweetheart, but he can get angry easily.
I have 27 other students.
What was in his education plan?
One on one, but the school board turned it down.
Real? They have to make sure that children are supported, right?
We can start pointing fingers, but there's just no money.
I've been doing this for a long time.
I've never seen money for that.
Why is this not news?
Do you have children, Miss Bianchi? - Yes, two.
They certainly don't have a learning disability.
During our relationship, Connery loved my creativity and ambition.
We became two pillars, blah blah.
After we got married, I was suddenly head cheerleader for Connery Bass.
I didn't sign up for that. - Who would.
I wasted years on him.
And now he dares to say that my spending is inappropriate?
Therefore, you earn your rightful share of the property.
My rightful share? Is that a joke?
Harry Svensson would kill my husband.
We're lawyers, not murderers.
Heather Mills received 48 million from Paul McCartney after four years.
I lasted seven years. - The appetizer.
Homemade pasta trofie in truffle sauce with Gruyère cheese.
Mac and cheese? Am I worthy of canteen food?
You're no better than my husband.
Are you really going after her? - She's worth a fortune to us.
If you take her away again, I'll grab her extensions.
How did it go?
She's awful. She pretended Fodder was a fast food place.
Were you at Fodder? - Martina is a celebrated chef.
Sabrina Bass is a filthy rich client.
Try harder.
I have a new strategy for the Gardiner case.
I'm suing the ministry. - Government?
Rory is not a criminal. He has a developmental disability.
If the school had enough money, he wouldn't have been suspended.
They violate their responsibilities.
They have endless resources. That would take years.
Too expensive for the Gardiners. - I'm doing it pro bono.
No pro bono now. I have to think about the profit.
Is it Freaky Friday? Because Harry isn't right for you.
I sympathize with them, but this is not charity.
We focus on paying clients.
Drop the case.
Exchange?
Chewing gum for espresso? I do not think so.
Did you see daddy's girlfriend for the first time last week?
Did anything else with her? - We checked out Dragonspace.
Is she pretty? - I do not know. I do not think so.
How old is she? - Old.
Older than me? - Not that old.
Do you know her last name? Or at which school she teaches?
Why are you asking weird questions? - Out of curiosity.
Need help with those drops? - Nice try.
A former colleague stands between the obituaries.
What are you going to do? - Play tennis, have lunch, look at houses.
Shall I go with you?
Harry, we can't gossip about you in front of you.
You have your own friends. - They're dying in droves.
Then call a living one.
Did you ditch the Gardiners?
I'm bringing them the papers now.
I have the classified information you asked for, Miss Bianchi.
What secret information? - When I say it, it's not a secret.
I found three Isabelles who work in kindergartens.
I wish it was true. Frank's girlfriend is not a grandmother.
Ageism, but okay. This is number two. She is beautiful.
She plays for the other team. - cricket?
The wedding photo of her and her wife.
Who's behind door three?
The third Isabelle teaches at a kindergarten in Point Grey.
That's about right. Shows. Does she have bangs?
Thirty three? That's very young. - How old was Aidan?
No selfies on her social media.
Her feed is full of nature, baking and quotes.
She seems sober. - She's fake.
Or ugly. - Or both.
Cecil, Winston, get to work. Abigail, do you have a minute?
We're trying to stop the bleeding and Cecil is stalking a kindergarten teacher?
Harry has only been gone for a day. Don't be so dramatic.
You underestimate the value of your father.
I wanted to see Frank's new girlfriend.
I didn't know he had a girlfriend. - Me neither.
Until he wanted to introduce her to the children.
Do you allow that? - After all? Not really.
Revenge is served cold, you said.
Happiness is the best revenge, I said.
Also fine.
Punishing Frank won't get you any further.
You can follow Isabelle.
She would also post such a sappy spell.
I know one more.
Ridicule is the bitter man's last resort.
Miss Bianchi, come on. Have you achieved anything at the school yet?
Unfortunately not. - I have to go to school.
I play Uno with Scott and Javi.
I know, but you can't go there now.
I have to go to school. - You have to stay here. Sorry.
Rory, you're not allowed today. Listen, please.
I have to go to school. - Rory, no.
It's enough like this.
Take a breath, Rory. Breath.
Maisie, get in the car. Lock the doors.
Call 911, please.
Rory, take a breath.
On Tuesday I play Uno during the break.
Nobody wants a disrupted routine.
You should see me for my coffee.
Terribly grumpy. - Do you want to stay with us today?
We may still have a deck of Uno cards.
I can play with you. Maybe you'll let me win.
He feels fine with them.
Rory has been here so many times he knows everyone by name.
Hi honey. How are you? Are you feeling better now?
Better.
I'm fine. - It was too much.
I know, it was scary. - Yeah, scary.
You don't want to hurt anyone. - I hate it.
We're fine.
Yogurt with onion flavor, your favorite.
It's awful to be thankful...
but at least here Rory gets the necessary care and everyone is safe.
He turned out to be doing it with the neighbor.
She took his fish, which cost $200,000...
baked it and ate it.
Awesome.
Phil, I confess I don't like sitting on the sidelines.
It's only for four weeks. You're not Drew Bledsoe.
Who? - Drew Bledsoe.
Quarterback of the Patriots.
Until he got injured.
His replacement was Tom Brady. And who never got their job back?
That won't help, Phil. - I'm sorry.
Thank you for your trust, Mr. Gupta. Till Thursday.
I heard Sabrina was having dinner with Eric Russell.
She is looking for a new lawyer.
I sent her flowers and champagne.
Any idiot can do that. She has a vineyard in Tuscany.
Give her something she needs. - What then?
No idea.
Get into her head. Harry would.
Why didn't I see it coming? The world is changing so fast.
Come on Harry.
Every family lawyer our age has done something like this.
They had to set an example. You got the short end of the stick.
Look who's here. - Judge Crombie.
Sterling. - Always a pleasure, Harry.
From the same, Phil. - Been to bed with things, huh?
That had to end badly.
The company is in good hands.
Naturally. Kotsie and the Talking Pug have it under control.
Miss Isabelle. Braiden pushed me.
Stay here for a while.
Braiden, do you have big feelings right now?
What can we do instead of pushing?
when you are angry and you know it stomp your feet
Are you coming to pick up a child?
No, I'm looking for kids for a juice commercial.
when you're angry and you know it stomp your feet
She was completely absorbed in it. - Did the child calm down?
That's not the point.
Frank's new girlfriend is so sweet my teeth hurt.
Is she pretty? - I think so. In a certain light.
My sister's Cosmopolitan said...
that people look for the opposite of their ex.
So I'm the opposite of pretty? Or sweet?
How's your moral inventory? - Great. How so?
Making a fuss about your ex-husband's girlfriend doesn't seem right to me.
You cannot gossip.
when you're angry and you know it stomp your feet
Any tips for getting into the head of a narcissist?
Short answer? Do not. - I have to persuade her.
Otherwise, Dad will never trust me with this office.
That's a lot of information. - Let's stick with the narcissist.
I disapprove of mind games.
But play to her insecurities.
She is sexy, 29 years old and very rich.
She has no insecurities. - Everyone has it.
I've been calling you all day.
Sorry, I had to run a firm. Did you get rid of the Gardiners?
Rory got aggressive when I arrived.
He is in the hospital.
It was a nightmare.
Trust me, we have to do this pro bono.
I don't have time for this.
I need to please a trophy wife.
My client's son has been admitted and Marie Antoinette takes precedence?
That poor family.
The staff were great. He needs trained caretakers.
Without support from his parents, he has a better chance.
Autistic teens...
often go to residential groups with professional guidance.
Miss Bianchi, what a surprise.
We were just going to pick up Rory.
Just listen to me.
I know how you can help your son.
How?
Don't pick him up from the hospital.
Should we abandon our 14 year old son?
If you don't pick up Rory, he will be handed over to the Ministry.
Then the government becomes responsible for him.
Is Rory going to foster care?
To a residential group with specialist care providers.
Wendy worked in such a home when she was a student.
No. Not really. He'll think we've failed him.
I understand. It was a radical idea.
But if we do pick him up, we'll keep going.
It goes well. - Is that right?
I don't even know if Rory is okay.
How long can I keep him from injuring someone?
And Maisie?
She locks herself in the car because she doesn't feel safe.
Can he still come home when he wants?
You said you were going out.
I did too yesterday. It didn't go well.
I thought you liked Phil. - They only talk about work.
So what? - I'm out of work.
You're dating someone who isn't a lawyer, right?
Call that one. And put this dressing gown in the wash. I beg you.
I was wondering if you have time for a bite to eat later?
Sorry, I didn't know you had visitors.
Your hair is nice today. - What's up, Abby?
I wanted to let you know that I did what you said.
The Gardiners gave up their son. Thanks for that.
What? I did not say that. - Yes.
He would come into a residential group with professional care.
Many children are entitled to care that they never receive.
He may end up in an understaffed home or with foster parents.
Abby. - Someone had to do something.
I would never advise anyone to give up their child.
That is obvious. - What is she thinking?
This can go wrong in so many ways.
Why do you always get so worked up?
It's not always. Abby doesn't do it on purpose.
Of course not. She causes drama because she was neglected as a child.
That's trauma. She can't help it.
I'm just taking care of my Lucy.
And I love that.
How bad would it be if I can't win her over?
We can do without Sabrina Bass.
But those women from West Van are like lemmings.
If one jumps, the rest will follow.
Sabrina Bass champagne glass they watch my nice
ass spend money and jewels from head to toe so cool
income in the stratosphere mirror, mirror
on the wall who is the hottest in the land?
you think I care that you drink Cristal in the club
Cristal drinks at the club
Thank you for making time for me.
Sorry I couldn't sooner. I'm not out until three.
I've never seen you in a shirt without buttons. Are you OK?
Yes. I'm not often in the office anymore.
Why not? - I would have broken a rule.
But you didn't? - Yes. But it's a stupid rule.
I reject that my actions were harmful...
and therefore should be punished.
That's how I once forged signatures.
Precisely. And now I have to stay at home for a month.
I sympathize with you. I had FOMO sitting at home.
FOMO? - 'Fear of Missing Out'.
Yes, I definitely have FOMO.
Only my homework mole helped.
My friend Steph took notes for me...
so that I wouldn't miss anything.
Do you want to order?
I'll have the ribeye, medium-rare...
with a baked potato and a Shirley Temple.
Just make it two.
But with a dry martini with two olives.
I want to speak to Miss Bianchi. - She's on the phone.
She needs to stop that. - Mr. Gardiner?
Would you like tea or coffee? - No, I don't want coffee.
What is? Is Rory OK?
We have been charged with assault and neglect.
A restraining order has been filed to keep us away from Rory.
We could also lose Maisie.
What were you thinking? - It hadn't been necessary...
if you hadn't forced me to drop the case.
This isn't my fault, Abby.
When they hear you're advising clients to give up their child...
and they lose both kids, we could be sued.
Congratulations. Now I have to make you work pro bono. Fix this.
I need to involve you in something. - No more secret projects.
Prepare an expedited petition for the Gardiners.
You're still working late.
When Cecil applied, they offered a spot this week.
Otherwise, the Gardiners won't be able to see their son for months.
Yes, "reckless" is already on my moral inventory.
It may have been reckless...
but those people were stuck and no one helped them.
Mr. Vagas, has the child been brought to your commune...
because his parents left him behind?
I understood that his parents...
Yes or no, Mr. Vagas. - Yes.
Did he have injuries to his head, face and hands when he arrived?
Yes, but such injuries... - Only yes or no.
According to his file, he was confused and upset when he arrived.
Is that description of his condition accurate?
Yes or no? - Yes. But he adapts quickly.
He responds well to staff, participates in activities.
Nice to hear.
I'm not surprised either. Now that he's away from his parents.
They did not want to invest time or money in their autistic child.
So get rid of it. - Objection, biased.
Assigned. - No more questions.
Mr. Vagas, how many trained professionals...
do people work per shift in your residential group?
Three or four.
How long are your services? - Eight o'clock.
If there are three shifts in 24 hours times three staff...
then nine professionals are needed to take care of the child?
And yet the ministry believes that his parents, without training...
with full-time jobs and another kid...
that should be possible?
Objection. Suggestive. - Assigned.
Did the ministry support the Gardiners at home?
They had monthly consultations with therapists.
Once a month someone spoke to them...
and then let them do the work of nine people?
Do you think the Gardiners abused their child?
Such scratches can occur during an attack.
The institution insinuates assault to distract from the fact...
that they abandon families with disadvantaged children.
Objection. Inappropriate characterization. - Is that right?
The Gardiners have not neglected their son.
They saw no other way to give him the necessary care.
The only one that neglects is the ministry.
This family has been abandoned.
Objection. Is Miss Bianchi going to question the witness?
They hope to scare off other families...
of one last gamble that no one should have to take.
Nice speech, man.
Well, I'm on the right side.
Stop it. No one forced them to have children.
How compassionate is Child Protection.
The court does not fall away from the ministry. Otherwise they have a problem.
Lee doesn't risk her second year as a judge.
Wagyu tartare first? - Only water. I have to leave soon.
Then I'll get straight to the point.
You gave me an earworm. - What are you talking about?
Do you think I mind that you drank Cristal in the club?
You heard Cristal. - Beats.
I can't get it out of my head. Where can I find more songs?
Connery paid for one single, and then he buried it.
He sabotaged your career to keep you as a trophy wife.
Exactly that. - Without him...
you could have been the next Beyoncé.
Your ex has robbed you of a singing career.
In my professional opinion, he should pay back every penny.
I'd rather do nothing...
then demand the highest possible amount from him.
Besides half of his possessions, of course.
Will you give me that honor?
Did you make a choice?
We start with wagyu tartare and a bottle of your best champagne.
Nothing indicates child abuse. I reject that allegation.
But the ministry maintains the charge of neglect.
In their desperation, the Gardiners abandoned their son.
But I cannot ignore the circumstances that led to that desperation.
This is what I can do.
Their daughter stays with the Gardiners.
Although the government has custody of the eldest child...
parents have full physical access.
You may see your son. We will come back to this in 12 months.
I recommend that the ministry review the policy.
This family shouldn't have had to choose between parental rights...
and the necessary resources for their son.
Sorry you had to experience this.
If I have to, I will fight again in 12 months.
We appreciate that.
I heard that other lawyer.
"Their child, their problem." You have to take care of your children.
That makes you a parent. I couldn't take care of my son.
It's okay.
How can the toilet paper run out? It was added last week.
I think someone in the office has IBS.
Miss Bass can draw this. - Great.
I beat the ministry.
Is there anything I can't do? - Get your billable hours?
I will support you from now on. We'll manage without Harry.
We'll make it. I got Sabrina Bass.
That's how Harry got suspended, right? - Not so, Cecil.
From 12.00 Svensson and Svensson are in very good shape.
Neat. Shall I reserve the boardroom?
Sabrina wanted to meet at a recording studio.
She wants to make a comeback. - From where?
The Harry gene kicks in. - For better or for worse.
I'll have Frank introduce Isabelle to the kids.
So you see that the best revenge is a good life?
I saw that Sofia eats that sweet thing alive.
Mr Svenson. - Hello Winston.
What are you doing here? - Whatever I want, Daniel.
My name is on the lease.
Am I fired again?
On the contrary. You're going to be my homework mole.
That would be an honor, sir.
How is he doing? - He adapts. Good, I think.
Rory, we have visitors.
Hi, Rory. Do you remember me?
Miss Bianchi, the lawyer. - That's right.
I have a present for you. - I don't eat bananas at night.
My friends might. We play Uno every night.
Dad has to take me away. - 'Thanks for the fruit.'
Thanks for the fruit. Dad, we have to go.
Okay, let's go. - I love you, mom. Maze.
I love you.
Honey, I'm home.
What is going on?
This really feels like an intervention and I've been sober for almost a year.
Can you sit down? - Good.
I've taken stock.
I recognize that I need to make healthier choices.
That is amazing.
Glad you think so, because setting boundaries is part of it.
And while it's also positive that we share a space...
i think its better...
if you are looking for another address for your free weeks.
Are you kicking me out?
I just don't know if this is the best situation in the long run.
Is this your idea? Or hers?
It doesn't matter either.
You don't have to leave right away.
