00:00:00 [Music]
00:00:28 Is that all of it? Yeah.
00:00:30 I never saw this picture of Dad. I can't believe it's been six years.
00:00:35 Mom had it stored away. She gave it to me before I moved to Boston.
00:00:39 Now we can share it.
00:00:41 I could really use one of his pep talks right now.
00:00:45 You always knew you were getting a life lesson when he called you kiddo.
00:00:48 For me it was always Rachel.
00:00:51 He was good at that, wasn't he?
00:00:55 He was.
00:00:57 Alright honey, well we should get going. We have a long trip.
00:00:59 Don't forget, I want to stop and see Mitch before we go.
00:01:04 Of course honey.
00:01:07 [Music]
00:01:36 [Music]
00:01:51 Are you alright?
00:01:53 This was the most depressing day of my life.
00:01:55 Wagons West sister. Never look back.
00:01:59 I got the perfect song queued up.
00:02:03 [Engine starting]
00:02:10 [Music]

00:03:44 [Snap]
00:03:47 [Music]
00:04:02 [Groaning]
00:04:08 Are you sure mom is okay with this?
00:04:10 You're already living with her?
00:04:12 No. I'm going to live with her.
00:04:14 I told you, I talked to her.
00:04:16 She doesn't know when she's coming back from Africa.
00:04:18 But she's ecstatic you're here and you can stay as long as you want.
00:04:22 You didn't talk to mom, did you?
00:04:24 Of course I didn't. She's in Africa.
00:04:27 She didn't even take her phone.
00:04:29 Yeah. Apple doesn't really fall too far from the tree, does it?
00:04:33 Are you serious? If you think after 13 hours in the car we're going to get into this, you are mistaken girl.
00:04:39 I'm starving.
00:04:41 You keep telling me that Fort Wayne has the best sushi ever.
00:04:45 You want to show me what I'm missing?
00:04:46 Oh yeah. You want to go now?
00:04:48 Yeah, we can unpack later.
00:04:50 Okay, sushi is better.
00:04:52 I got to pee like a mother.
00:04:54 Yeah, me too.
00:04:56 Okay, let's go.
00:04:57 [Music]
00:05:14 Damn girl, that's like your third call for interval.
00:05:16 Don't forget, I'm eating for two.
00:05:18 Oh please. Your baby is the size of a thimble at Baxter.
00:05:21 What? I'm hungry.
00:05:23 Jeez.
00:05:25 So, have you thought about what you're going to do?
00:05:29 What do you mean?
00:05:32 Oh, no, God no. I meant about getting a job.
00:05:36 Oh. You haven't thought about finding a job?
00:05:40 I mean, what do you think, I'm just going to sit around all day and eat and get all depressed and gain 40 pounds?
00:05:45 No, I'm just going to take a couple days, get settled and then I'll go start looking.
00:05:51 Yeah.
00:05:53 Look honey, I know it's going to take some time to get back where you need to be.
00:05:57 But I just, I want you to know, honey, you're here for me.
00:06:01 Thank you.
00:06:03 Well then, can I have your soy sauce?
00:06:05 Yes.
00:06:08 You are so much stronger than you think you are.
00:06:10 I know.
00:06:12 And I owe it to Mitch. You know, we made a pact. I'm going to stick with it.
00:06:18 Oh God, sis, the way that he died. I mean, talk about bad luck. I mean, did he really not know how old he was?
00:06:25 Please, I don't want to talk about it.
00:06:27 But it's just, it's so...
00:06:29 What did I say?
00:06:31 I don't want to talk about it.
00:06:37 What?
00:06:38 Oh God.
00:06:40 Oh, calm down you big baby. It's not that bad.
00:06:43 Look. See?
00:06:45 This is it. The last box.
00:07:05 Oh, this buddy. I remember him. He was such a good boy.
00:07:09 Oh honey, you had 13, 13 good years with him, right?
00:07:13 Yeah.
00:07:15 I bet he looks down on you every day and thanks you for the wonderful life you gave him.
00:07:19 Yeah, he was the best. He hated Jake.
00:07:22 Really?
00:07:24 Yeah, but he loved Mitch.
00:07:26 Well, you know what they say, dogs know best.
00:07:30 Is that really a saying?
00:07:33 Yes, I just said it.
00:07:35 Alright, well I'm going to go to bed. One of us has to work in the morning, so...
00:07:41 I'm going to put this somewhere special.
00:07:46 See you tomorrow.
00:07:49 See you tomorrow.
00:07:50 See you tomorrow.
00:07:51 [♪♪♪]
00:07:54 [♪♪♪]
00:07:56 [♪♪♪]
00:08:25 [♪♪♪]
00:08:27 Hi.
00:08:31 Good morning. Can I help you?
00:08:33 My sister asked me to bring this to Joe. Can you make sure he gets it?
00:08:38 Well, you don't have to worry. I'm Joe Sr., Joe's father.
00:08:41 Nice to meet you. I'm Elizabeth.
00:08:44 You know, I noticed a glow about you.
00:08:48 Something I noticed about my wife when she was having a baby.
00:08:54 Is it possible that you are also a mother-to-be?
00:08:57 Wow, you're good. I'm ten weeks.
00:09:01 Mazel tov!
00:09:03 Thank you.
00:09:05 Hey, Dad, have you...
00:09:07 Oh my God, Elizabeth?
00:09:09 Hi.
00:09:11 Wow, hi.
00:09:12 How are you? I can't believe you're a florist now.
00:09:14 Yeah.
00:09:16 It's so good to see you.
00:09:17 You too.
00:09:18 So, you two guys know each other?
00:09:19 Yeah, Dad, Elizabeth and I went to high school together.
00:09:22 I mean, I haven't seen you in like 15 years.
00:09:24 Yeah, probably.
00:09:26 You look amazing.
00:09:27 Thank you.
00:09:28 I read somewhere that you were married and living in Boston.
00:09:31 Yeah, yeah, I was.
00:09:34 And then two weeks after I got pregnant, Pete passed away.
00:09:38 Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:09:40 Um, hey, Dad, can you head to the back? Sam will be here any minute.
00:09:45 Of course.
00:09:48 It was so nice to meet you, Elizabeth.
00:09:50 And I'm so sorry for your loss.
00:09:53 Thank you so much.
00:09:54 Thanks.
00:09:56 Such a sweet man.
00:09:58 Yeah.
00:09:59 So, how are you doing?
00:10:00 Uh, you know, as good as I can be, I guess.
00:10:05 I moved in with my sister and my mom.
00:10:08 But ready for a fresh start, you know?
00:10:11 I promised Mitch I wouldn't do it by myself, so here I am.
00:10:15 Anything I can do to help?
00:10:18 Uh, yeah. I need a job.
00:10:20 Are you hiring?
00:10:22 Funny you should ask. I was just about to hang this guy up.
00:10:26 But it looks like I won't be needing anymore, 'cause you're hired.
00:10:30 I'm just gonna tuck that away. You didn't see anything.
00:10:34 Mitchell, can you do me a favor?
00:10:39 Someone left this in my section and it's not mine.
00:10:42 Who ordered the cabo?
00:10:46 That would be me.
00:10:47 Carl. Alright.
00:10:50 Well, I'm off.
00:10:52 See you tomorrow?
00:10:53 See you tomorrow.
00:10:54 Alright.
00:10:55 Nice try, Carl.
00:10:56 Well?
00:11:00 Hi.
00:11:01 Guess what?
00:11:02 You forgot to drop off the check.
00:11:04 No.
00:11:07 I got a job.
00:11:09 No way!
00:11:10 Congratulations, honey.
00:11:11 Thank you.
00:11:12 That's amazing. Whatcha drinking?
00:11:13 Vodka tonic.
00:11:14 Club soda and lime it is.
00:11:16 Boring.
00:11:17 So, turns out that Cottage Flowers is owned by Joe Morris and his dad.
00:11:22 You see? Things are turning around. I told you.
00:11:24 Yeah. Feels like they really are.
00:11:26 Yeah.
00:11:27 I'll have another.
00:11:29 Sure, sure. Same?
00:11:30 Yes.
00:11:31 How you doing, gorgeous?
00:11:40 Well, I'm hungry all the time and I'm tired and stressed out and moody.
00:11:47 Oh, and I'm pregnant with my dead husband's baby.
00:11:51 How you doing?
00:11:52 Okay.
00:11:55 You have yourself a nice night.
00:11:57 You too.
00:11:58 You still got it.
00:12:09 Morning.
00:12:10 Hey. Good morning.
00:12:12 Got you a coffee.
00:12:13 I think that one's yours.
00:12:15 You're the best. Thank you.
00:12:16 I got you an apron.
00:12:18 Oh.
00:12:19 Or whatever you call those things.
00:12:20 Wait. Can you drink coffee?
00:12:24 Yes. My sister said a cup a day is a-okay.
00:12:29 Cool.
00:12:30 Where's your dad?
00:12:31 Oh, he was only helping out until I hired someone.
00:12:35 Ah. Well, speaking of that, what am I doing?
00:12:39 Well, for the most part, you'll just be working here at the front of the house until you learn how to do what I do.
00:12:44 Customer service?
00:12:45 Yeah.
00:12:46 Perfect.
00:12:47 I'll be in the back working on orders and deliveries and stuff.
00:12:49 All you really need to know is that almost everyone who walks through the door wants to buy something.
00:12:55 It's going to be your job to help them figure out what that something is.
00:12:59 Unless, of course, it's roses or something.
00:13:02 I think I can handle that.
00:13:04 And there's no harm in upselling?
00:13:06 Or a teddy bear add-on?
00:13:10 Perfect. I'm excited.
00:13:13 Great. 'Cause you're on. I'll be in the back if you need me.
00:13:17 Great.
00:13:18 Hi.
00:13:19 Hello.
00:13:20 Welcome to Cottage Flowers. What can I help you with?
00:13:33 Before we met I had my doubts, didn't know if love was real
00:13:38 Like an extraordinary situation, never meant for me
00:13:43 Read about it, heard about it, saw it on the TV
00:13:48 It all seemed so strange until you made a believer out of me
00:13:53 Now, my dreams have come true
00:13:58 What did I do to deserve someone like you?
00:14:03 And it's beyond my imagination
00:14:06 Like I've won the lottery
00:14:09 Or a winning combination
00:14:11 And I can't explain how much you mean to me
00:14:18 And it's unbelievable how much I love you
00:14:23 It's unbelievable, I can't believe how much I care
00:14:29 And it's beyond my imagination
00:14:31 But the very most amazing thing
00:14:34 Is when I hear you say you love me too
00:14:40 It's unbelievable
00:14:42 So the arrangements came out okay.
00:14:45 I cannot tell you how much I love my job.
00:14:48 Awesome.
00:14:49 Have them wrap it in lettuce and then no bun.
00:14:53 It's called protein style.
00:14:54 You're gonna love it.
00:14:56 Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.
00:14:58 Oh, protein style.
00:15:00 Now I want it in my mouth.
00:15:02 Well girl, you was in but now you out.
00:15:04 'Cause Joe's my new Lamaze husband.
00:15:07 Oh, come on! I am an amazing husband!
00:15:12 Okay, but I think I prefer you as just my sister.
00:15:15 It's unbelievable how much I love you
00:15:20 It's unbelievable, I can't believe how much I care
00:15:26 And it's beyond my imagination
00:15:28 But the very most amazing thing
00:15:31 Is when I hear you say you love me too
00:15:37 It's unbelievable
00:15:41 Unbelievable
00:15:47 It's unbelievable
00:15:51 Unbelievable
00:15:58 Unbelievable
00:16:01 Unbelievable
00:16:07 I gotta say, I love my job.
00:16:10 I love working with you.
00:16:12 And I'm just so grateful for my sister
00:16:15 Who's been so amazing through all of this.
00:16:17 I don't know, it just feels like I'm turning a corner.
00:16:22 Hold that thought.
00:16:26 The delivery van is here, I will be back.
00:16:28 Okay, good.
00:16:38 Hello Elizabeth.
00:16:41 Miss Becker.
00:16:43 Hi.
00:16:45 This is a surprise.
00:16:49 What are you doing in Fort Wayne?
00:16:50 I thought after the funeral you were moving to France.
00:16:52 Yes, well that's going to have to be put on hold for a while.
00:16:57 Well after how you and I sort of left things,
00:17:01 I gotta be honest with you, I'm a little confused about why you're here.
00:17:06 I'll get you the point.
00:17:11 What is this?
00:17:22 You're filing for full custody?
00:17:26 Yes.
00:17:28 Wow, you are crazy.
00:17:31 No one's going to give you full custody.
00:17:34 Tell that to your lawyer.
00:17:36 If you can afford one.
00:17:41 Is everything okay here?
00:17:43 Yeah, sure.
00:17:44 Everything's fine.
00:17:46 You know, I am going to need to rethink that gift.
00:17:50 I don't think flowers are enough.
00:17:53 Thank you for your time.
00:18:03 What was that all about?
00:18:05 I gotta call my sister.
00:18:08 Yeah, whatever you need.
00:18:11 What a bitch, right?
00:18:14 I mean, how could she even think a judge would grant her full custody and let her leave the country?
00:18:20 It's ridiculous.
00:18:21 I mean, I agree with you obviously, but she's going through with it, so.
00:18:27 I mean, do you think this is what Mitch wanted?
00:18:30 No, of course not.
00:18:32 I just, I don't understand.
00:18:34 Jennifer is family.
00:18:35 What, being a grandmother's not enough for her?
00:18:38 No.
00:18:40 You know that.
00:18:43 And they were super close before we got married.
00:18:46 I mean, you remember, she didn't say two words to me at the funeral.
00:18:51 What am I going to do?
00:18:53 It's not what you're going to do, it's what we're going to do.
00:18:56 Okay?
00:18:58 Now give me the name of that bitch attorney she hired.
00:19:01 What makes you think it's a she?
00:19:02 Well, if Jennifer's as ruthless as we think she is, she would never hire a man.
00:19:06 Huh?
00:19:07 You win.
00:19:09 Robin Pyle.
00:19:10 Alright, I'm going to make some phone calls and find out what we're dealing with.
00:19:14 Also, one of my regulars is an attorney and he likes to flirt with me, so.
00:19:18 Honey, I'm sorry, I have to go back to work, okay?
00:19:20 Okay.
00:19:21 But don't worry, okay?
00:19:23 We are going to fix this.
00:19:25 Okay.
00:19:29 I love you.
00:19:30 I love you.
00:19:31 Excuse me.
00:19:39 I don't mean to bother you.
00:19:40 I couldn't help but overhear your conversation.
00:19:43 I'm sorry, it was my sister.
00:19:44 She's not quiet.
00:19:49 Did you say you're being taken to court?
00:19:51 Yeah, my mother-in-law is suing for full custody of my unborn baby and trying to move to France.
00:19:59 That's ridiculous.
00:20:01 I'm sorry, Robin Pyle is representing your mother-in-law?
00:20:05 Yeah, you know her?
00:20:07 She's my sister.
00:20:08 I know how she works.
00:20:11 I'd like to offer you my services.
00:20:13 I know how to win and I'll do a great job.
00:20:17 Mr. Pyle.
00:20:18 Kevin, please.
00:20:20 Kevin, I just don't have the money to hire someone like you.
00:20:26 Well, lucky for you I'm running a special, today only.
00:20:30 Any case I take against my sister, I'm charging one percent of my hourly fee.
00:20:35 And what exactly is your hourly fee?
00:20:38 Two hundred dollars an hour.
00:20:40 So you're going to charge me two dollars an hour to represent me?
00:20:43 That's right.
00:20:46 Well, I guess it's better than two hundred dollars.
00:20:51 Is this some kind of trading places bet or like a vendetta against her?
00:20:56 No, no, no, not at all.
00:20:58 I'm furious my sister took this case.
00:21:01 I want to help.
00:21:06 Okay.
00:21:07 Great.
00:21:08 Now, when is the first day of the hearing?
00:21:11 According to this paper, a week from today.
00:21:16 A week?
00:21:17 That doesn't give you much time.
00:21:20 Can you be at my office tomorrow at 10 a.m.?
00:21:22 I work until four.
00:21:25 All right.
00:21:26 Well, I'm going to do the best that I can, but I'm going to need you to be available.
00:21:29 Okay.
00:21:30 Okay.
00:21:31 10 a.m. tomorrow?
00:21:32 My office?
00:21:34 10 a.m.
00:21:36 Excellent.
00:21:39 [door opens]
00:21:42 [door closes]
00:21:45 [music]
00:21:51 Mr. Jeffries, after looking over this police report, I can pretty much guarantee no jail time.
00:21:58 But I hope you like community service because you are going to get a lot of it.
00:22:04 Well, can't you do something about that?
00:22:07 Mr. Jeffries, your blood alcohol level was three times the legal limit.
00:22:13 Not to mention, you destroyed four mailboxes and an RV before you were arrested.
00:22:20 So if I were you right about now, I'd be thanking my lucky stars.
00:22:25 Just when I thought you couldn't go any lower.
00:22:28 Can't you see I am with a client?
00:22:31 I mean, is there any case that you won't take for money?
00:22:35 I'm so sorry, we're going to have to cut our meeting short.
00:22:39 I need to give my brother the verbal enema he so richly deserves.
00:22:44 I just want you to remember to be at the courthouse Friday, 9 a.m., okay?
00:22:50 Friday morning, 9 a.m.
00:22:53 Okay.
00:22:55 Do you validate?
00:22:56 No.
00:22:57 Snakes don't validate.
00:22:59 No, we don't.
00:23:02 I'll see you Friday.
00:23:07 I could smell the tequila on him as he walked by.
00:23:13 So.
00:23:14 Stop.
00:23:25 You're not kidding around.
00:23:31 Okay.
00:23:33 What did I do now?
00:23:35 I am here to inform you that I'm Elizabeth Becker's lawyer.
00:23:39 Whoa.
00:23:41 Slow down.
00:23:43 Say that again.
00:23:45 I am representing Elizabeth Becker.
00:23:50 That's funny.
00:23:52 The custody case, isn't that a bit out of your wheelhouse?
00:23:59 I mean, how did you even find out about this?
00:24:01 We go to the same coffee shop and I overheard her.
00:24:04 Oh, that is serendipity.
00:24:07 I know we all need to make a living, sis, but come on.
00:24:10 Going after custody of a child that hasn't even been born yet?
00:24:13 My client actually believes in her case.
00:24:16 She says that this is specifically what her son wanted.
00:24:19 Tell your client to drop the suit.
00:24:21 She'll have full visitation any time she wants.
00:24:23 In fact, my client would welcome it.
00:24:26 Rejected.
00:24:28 I mean, you have been out of the gate for so long.
00:24:30 Are you sure you want to go up against me the first time out?
00:24:35 I can't think of a better time or case to do it.
00:24:38 In fact, it's an outrage that you'd even take it.
00:24:41 Well, I don't get paid to be outraged.
00:24:43 I get paid to represent my clients.
00:24:49 She's got to know there's not a chance in hell that any court will grant her full custody.
00:24:54 Times have changed, brother.
00:24:57 Courts will listen to just about anything now.
00:25:04 How's mom?
00:25:06 Good.
00:25:08 You should call her.
00:25:09 No, I will.
00:25:11 I'll see you in court.
00:25:12 I'll see you in court.
00:25:25 Hi, welcome.
00:25:26 Elizabeth Becker.
00:25:27 I'm here to see Kevin Pyle.
00:25:29 Elizabeth.
00:25:30 Hi.
00:25:31 Hi.
00:25:32 Thanks for coming down.
00:25:34 This is my sister, Rachel.
00:25:35 Hi.
00:25:36 Nice to meet you.
00:25:37 Nice to meet you.
00:25:38 Thanks for doing this.
00:25:39 My pleasure.
00:25:40 Please, let's talk in my suite.
00:25:44 Thank you.
00:25:46 So, I read the suit, and their main focus will be that Elizabeth has a history of being irresponsible
00:25:51 and that she doesn't possess the means to properly support and raise a child.
00:25:56 Oh, come on.
00:25:57 That is such a crock.
00:25:58 My sister is literally the kindest, sweetest, most generous person I know.
00:26:03 This baby is blessed to have her as a mother.
00:26:06 And you as a mom.
00:26:07 For a word in and you went to, you know it.
00:26:11 Can she really do this?
00:26:13 To be honest, I'm shocked the judge will even hear arguments.
00:26:15 I'm going to be going for an immediate dismissal.
00:26:17 No, but I mean seriously, what possible argument could she have?
00:26:22 I'm not even a mother yet.
00:26:24 Exactly.
00:26:25 They can't.
00:26:27 You and Mitch were happy?
00:26:28 Yes, very.
00:26:29 No history of fighting?
00:26:31 Nothing maybe he told his mother that she could use against you?
00:26:35 Nothing that I can think of.
00:26:37 Mitch loved my sister.
00:26:39 He waited ten years to marry her.
00:26:43 Then why would he write this letter?
00:26:45 Let me see that.
00:26:47 What took you so long to say yes?
00:26:50 Um, we were just friends in college.
00:26:53 And then the day before our graduation we made a pact that if we didn't marry somebody else in ten years, we'd marry each other.
00:27:04 Ten years later he traveled across the country to find me.
00:27:07 Oh, this letter is BS.
00:27:09 Let me see it.
00:27:14 It's ridiculous.
00:27:15 I have absolutely no idea why he would write that.
00:27:17 Don't worry, that's what I'm here for.
00:27:21 So are we done?
00:27:22 Actually, there's one last thing I need to mention.
00:27:28 Where's your restroom?
00:27:29 Oh, past the elevator on your left.
00:27:32 I'll be right back.
00:27:34 So I called the courthouse this morning and the judge hearing our case is Judge Anthony Steele.
00:27:41 Is that bad?
00:27:42 No, no.
00:27:44 Not bad.
00:27:46 Then what would you say?
00:27:50 Well, go ahead and just put your John or Jane Hancock right there.
00:27:56 There you go.
00:27:57 Now you have a wonderful day.
00:27:58 You too.
00:27:59 Dave.
00:28:02 Wow, Elizabeth.
00:28:05 So good to see you.
00:28:06 Good to see you too.
00:28:07 I mean, oh, look at you.
00:28:08 I know, look at me.
00:28:11 Hey, you know what, I'm sorry that I missed Mitch's funeral.
00:28:15 You know, if I knew when it happened, I would have been there.
00:28:17 No, I know.
00:28:19 I know how much you loved Mitch.
00:28:20 You were there, I promise.
00:28:23 Still.
00:28:25 I know.
00:28:27 So what brings you to Fort Wayne?
00:28:30 Well, I was going to ask you the same thing.
00:28:33 I mean, I moved in with my sister who's been amazing, helping me just get ready for being a mom, you know.
00:28:39 But what about you?
00:28:41 Long Island's not your thing anymore?
00:28:42 Oh, well, you know, a company I worked for expanded.
00:28:44 They gave me an offer to move here that I could not refuse.
00:28:47 Then a year later, they dissolved my position.
00:28:50 But I love it here.
00:28:51 I love it.
00:28:52 I love the work that I do working for the VanEcks team.
00:28:55 So I'm here.
00:28:56 I'm so happy to hear that.
00:28:58 Did Laura come with you?
00:28:59 No.
00:29:00 No, that pretty redhead boat sailed long ago.
00:29:05 She was allergic to canned whipped cream.
00:29:08 Sorry.
00:29:09 Yeah.
00:29:10 Well, I lost touch with her, too.
00:29:11 I always liked her, though.
00:29:14 Anyway, I should probably get back.
00:29:16 You're not in any legal trouble, are you?
00:29:19 Hope this isn't a Jake Jones thing.
00:29:22 Oh, God, no.
00:29:24 I haven't even seen him since the whole, you know.
00:29:28 Anyway, so good to see you.
00:29:29 Can we keep in touch?
00:29:30 Of course.
00:29:31 Yeah, let's get together.
00:29:32 We can party like we did back in college.
00:29:34 Oh, yeah.
00:29:35 Look, here is my card.
00:29:38 If you need anything--
00:29:39 Please.
00:29:40 --you go ahead and actually take two.
00:29:42 Anything you need.
00:29:43 That's good.
00:29:44 It's great to see you.
00:29:45 You, too.
00:29:46 Hey, is your sister single?
00:29:49 No, don't even think about it.
00:29:51 All right, this is a small town.
00:29:52 I'm just asking.
00:29:54 OK, perfect.
00:29:56 Yeah, thanks for doing that for me.
00:29:58 Yep, I'll see you Thursday.
00:30:00 Thanks.
00:30:04 Brian Connor is here and would like to see you.
00:30:08 He's an hour late.
00:30:10 I could tell him you're not available.
00:30:12 No, no, send him in to the conference room, please.
00:30:15 Yes, sir.
00:30:16 Jake Jones.
00:30:23 How the hell are you?
00:30:25 Brian, have a seat.
00:30:27 Oh.
00:30:31 Word on the street is that you're thinking about not selling your building.
00:30:34 Really?
00:30:35 Where'd you hear that?
00:30:37 People talk.
00:30:39 Look, Jake, you've been telling us for the last four months that everything's going to be all right,
00:30:46 that the deal's going through.
00:30:48 Yeah, that's still the case.
00:30:51 You know, maybe I should be talking to your dad.
00:30:54 No, you can talk to me, Brian.
00:30:57 [SIGHS]
00:31:00 We had an agreement.
00:31:03 Now you're the only ones holding the deal up.
00:31:06 You do realize we're offering you 70% over market value, right?
00:31:10 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do realize that.
00:31:13 So then what's the holdup?
00:31:15 Brian, our building is the only property that still has tenants in it.
00:31:19 We're not going to blindly kick these people out on the street.
00:31:22 They need time to relocate.
00:31:24 You do realize how much we have riding on this, right?
00:31:28 I mean, the Morgani group is building a distribution center.
00:31:32 We'll all be set for life.
00:31:34 I'm doing just fine, thanks.
00:31:36 You have to be patient.
00:31:38 These things take time.
00:31:40 Time waits for no man, Jake.
00:31:42 That includes you and your dad.
00:31:45 If we don't get a deal for the building,
00:31:47 we're going to have to sell it.
00:31:49 If we don't get a deal finalized in the next 14 days,
00:31:53 then the buyers are walking.
00:31:55 [SIGHS]
00:31:58 I'm not going to let you blow this for everyone, Jake.
00:32:02 Maybe you enjoy being stood up at the altar,
00:32:05 but you're not going to do that to me.
00:32:08 You really going to go there?
00:32:10 Ready for lunch?
00:32:13 Oh, hello, Brian.
00:32:17 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:32:20 Everything OK?
00:32:23 Yeah, everything's fine, Dad.
00:32:24 Brian was just leaving.
00:32:25 Look, Jake, you have 14 days to clear this mess up and close.
00:32:37 You know, Brian, we've been friends a long time.
00:32:39 I can't really believe that you had the balls
00:32:41 to bring up Elizabeth, but let's not make this personal.
00:32:45 We close when we close.
00:32:47 If that's not good enough for you, then tough shit.
00:32:49 Two weeks.
00:32:54 You good?
00:33:01 Yeah, I'm fine, Dad.
00:33:03 Brian's always been a little impatient,
00:33:05 but everything will work out in the end.
00:33:07 It usually does.
00:33:09 Well, I'm so proud of you, son.
00:33:11 I've never seen you more focused.
00:33:14 Um, happy 14 months.
00:33:19 You know, we usually only do cakes yearly on our birthdays,
00:33:22 but thanks, Dad.
00:33:25 Well, a year from now, this will all be yours.
00:33:30 And I got to say, there was a time I wasn't real sure--
00:33:34 Yeah, it's a little rough going there for a while,
00:33:36 but we all have to find our own bottom, right?
00:33:39 You're telling me?
00:33:40 I married your mother.
00:33:42 Just kidding, okay.
00:33:44 Lunch? Want to grab some lunch?
00:33:46 Yeah, there's a Mexican place around the corner.
00:33:48 You're buying.
00:33:49 Hi, Mr. Morris.
00:33:55 Thank you so much for watching the shop for me.
00:33:58 I hope it was okay.
00:33:59 Oh, my Lord.
00:34:01 Look at you.
00:34:02 Elizabeth, last time I saw it, it was just a baby bump.
00:34:06 Now look at you, glowing like a soon-to-be mother.
00:34:09 Oh, it's just light layer of sweat,
00:34:12 but it's sweet that you say that.
00:34:14 May I?
00:34:15 Yeah, of course.
00:34:16 Wow! I can feel him kick.
00:34:20 Or her.
00:34:22 Trust me, I did the same thing with Joe Jr.
00:34:24 when he was in my wife's belly.
00:34:27 And can you believe he was born 5 pounds, 6 ounces?
00:34:31 Uff, and look how he turned out.
00:34:34 [chuckles]
00:34:36 I hear you take him to Lamar's.
00:34:41 She's actually going to come here after work on Friday.
00:34:44 I think it's nice.
00:34:46 I keep telling him he needs to find somebody,
00:34:49 settle down and start a family,
00:34:51 but he gets so involved in the business, you know,
00:34:54 and just feels obligated since his mother died to keep me busy.
00:34:58 When did that happen?
00:35:01 11 years ago.
00:35:03 Cancer.
00:35:05 Seemed like yesterday.
00:35:07 I'm sorry.
00:35:09 Anyway, I keep telling him I'm going to be okay.
00:35:12 He needs to live his life.
00:35:14 Find him a girl, get married, start a family.
00:35:17 You know, but he's my son,
00:35:19 and the selfish part of me wouldn't have it any other way.
00:35:23 No, you're not selfish at all.
00:35:26 I only hope that I get to have
00:35:28 the same kind of relationship you guys have.
00:35:30 I'd be as blessed as you are.
00:35:32 Well, thank you.
00:35:34 Oh, hey, you're still here.
00:35:36 Yeah.
00:35:37 Thank you so much.
00:35:39 Can I please get you to do a favor for me
00:35:41 and make this delivery?
00:35:42 Yeah.
00:35:43 Jesse called in sick,
00:35:45 and they need a buddy at the end of the day today.
00:35:47 I would do it myself, but I still have a lot of work
00:35:50 to do here before we close.
00:35:51 Don't worry about it. I'll do it.
00:35:53 Awesome. Here's the keys.
00:35:54 Thank you.
00:35:55 The name and address are on the seat.
00:35:57 And, uh, last name is Becker.
00:36:00 Becker?
00:36:01 Yeah.
00:36:03 I'll be happy to.
00:36:05 Awesome, awesome. I'm just gonna close up here.
00:36:07 Okay.
00:36:08 Let me get this for you.
00:36:09 Bye, Mr. Morris.
00:36:10 All right.
00:36:11 I'll help you out, and...
00:36:14 I know you was talking about me.
00:36:16 [ Chuckles ]
00:36:18 [ Chuckles ]
00:36:21 That boy.
00:36:23 Yes, again, let him know that getting a continuance
00:36:26 is in his best legal interest.
00:36:28 [ Cellphone rings ]
00:36:29 Okay.
00:36:31 Call me back.
00:36:32 Thanks.
00:36:33 [ Knocking ]
00:36:34 Hey.
00:36:35 Sorry to interrupt.
00:36:36 Not at all. What's up?
00:36:37 Hey, earlier today, when you were talking to Ms. Becker,
00:36:39 did she happen to mention the name Jake Jones?
00:36:42 She did not.
00:36:45 Well, it might be something you want to look into.
00:36:47 Jake Jones.
00:36:49 [ Cellphone rings ]
00:36:51 [ Cellphone rings ]
00:36:55 [ Cellphone rings ]
00:36:57 [ Cellphone rings ]
00:36:59 [ Cellphone rings ]
00:37:01 [ Footsteps ]
00:37:03 What are you doing here?
00:37:08 I was just asked to make a delivery.
00:37:10 It's a nice arrangement.
00:37:12 You do realize I'm never gonna let you get custody, right?
00:37:16 That's for the judge to decide.
00:37:18 Oh.
00:37:19 Now, you've made your delivery,
00:37:21 so if you'll excuse me --
00:37:24 Why are you doing this?
00:37:26 You wanted nothing to do with us, and now this?
00:37:29 I deserve to know why.
00:37:31 It's what my son wanted.
00:37:33 Oh, please.
00:37:35 A week after Mitch died, I received a letter he wrote
00:37:38 pleading with me to fight for custody.
00:37:41 He would never write a letter like that.
00:37:43 You sure you want to go down that road?
00:37:45 Now, I strongly suggest you leave
00:37:50 before I call the police.
00:37:52 You know, Jennifer, you can believe whatever you want.
00:37:57 And you may be Mitch's mother,
00:37:59 but I knew him better than you ever did.
00:38:02 Do you really think that a man that waited 10 years
00:38:06 to marry the woman that he loves is gonna write that letter?
00:38:10 So if that's all you got, you got nothing.
00:38:13 For all I know, you wrote that letter.
00:38:16 Siri, call 911.
00:38:18 Don't bother. I'm gonna see you in court.
00:38:21 [ Siren wailing ]
00:38:29 [ Horn honking ]
00:38:42 [ Siren wailing ]
00:38:45 Wow. Most people order that for a family of four.
00:38:54 Well, I mean, technically, I'm two,
00:38:57 so I'm fine with that.
00:38:59 How'd you find me here?
00:39:02 You know, I actually understood that.
00:39:05 A posing counsel called and informed me
00:39:09 of a little visit to Jennifer Becker.
00:39:11 I went to your work, and a nice old gentleman said
00:39:14 your van was there, but you weren't,
00:39:16 so I called Rachel. She said you weren't there, either.
00:39:18 But she said when you get upset, you comfort eat ice cream.
00:39:22 So I had a pretty good idea after that.
00:39:25 Oh. Maybe you should have been a detective.
00:39:29 Elizabeth, if you want to win, you can't do that again.
00:39:33 I know. I know.
00:39:36 I know.
00:39:38 I screwed up. I'm sorry.
00:39:40 Okay.
00:39:44 Want to try it? It's good.
00:39:47 What are you gonna use?
00:39:49 None.
00:39:51 Ah.
00:39:56 Well, if that doesn't scream pregnant, nothing will.
00:39:59 [ Laughs ]
00:40:02 [ Door opens ]
00:40:04 Thanks for driving me home.
00:40:10 Now, the hearing starts in three days,
00:40:12 so from this point forward, no more mistakes, okay?
00:40:15 Aye-aye, Captain.
00:40:17 Can I ask you a question? Of course.
00:40:22 Why are you helping me?
00:40:25 I already told you.
00:40:27 No. Come on.
00:40:29 I know you're not telling me something.
00:40:32 You never told me how your husband died.
00:40:35 Didn't know I was supposed to.
00:40:38 Well, I love being a lawyer.
00:40:41 It's all I ever wanted to do.
00:40:43 The rush of fighting for the underdog is kind of like a drug.
00:40:47 And I must have gotten addicted to it
00:40:49 because it ruined my marriage.
00:40:51 Oh, sorry.
00:40:53 Oh, don't be. She's a -- [ Clears throat ]
00:40:56 Anyway.
00:40:58 It was awful.
00:40:59 A little over a year ago,
00:41:01 I came home to an empty house with a note that read,
00:41:04 "I'm glad you found what makes you happy.
00:41:06 Time for me to do the same.
00:41:08 Take care of Kim."
00:41:10 And I haven't seen or heard from her since.
00:41:13 That's terrible.
00:41:15 You all right?
00:41:17 It took a while, but I bear her no ill will
00:41:21 and hope only the best.
00:41:23 I mean... [ Chuckles ]
00:41:26 And I couldn't take on clients for a long time.
00:41:28 I just felt like I wouldn't be good enough.
00:41:31 But when I overheard you at the cafe,
00:41:33 I knew that this was the case to bring me back.
00:41:37 Not to mention I'm going up against my sister.
00:41:39 Just a tiny bit competitive, are we?
00:41:42 Oh, beyond. [ Chuckles ]
00:41:45 So, really, you and I are...
00:41:49 We're helping each other.
00:41:51 Well, that makes me feel better.
00:41:54 Because, you know, I don't want to be anyone's charity case.
00:41:58 Oh, the last thing you need is charity.
00:42:01 What you need is a lawyer.
00:42:03 That I can't disagree with you on.
00:42:05 [ Chuckles ]
00:42:07 Good night.
00:42:09 Good night.
00:42:13 [ Sighs ]
00:42:15 [ Footsteps approach ]
00:42:18 [ Train whistle blows ]
00:42:22 [ Train whistle blows ]
00:42:24 [ Train whistle blows ]
00:42:27 [ Train whistle blows ]
00:42:30 [ Train whistle blows ]
00:42:33 [ Train whistle blows ]
00:42:36 [ Train whistle blows ]
00:42:39 [ Train whistle blows ]
00:42:42 [ Train whistle blows ]
00:42:45 Ooh, I see a bathroom. I'm gonna go pee.
00:42:48 All right.
00:42:51 [ Footsteps approach ]
00:42:53 That's not what she said.
00:42:55 She gave testimony on a completely different thing
00:42:57 than you're talking about.
00:42:59 Ah, baloney.
00:43:01 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:43:07 Hello, Elizabeth.
00:43:09 Hi.
00:43:11 You came to see me, so I figured it's okay to come see you.
00:43:17 Yeah, you were ready to call the cops on me.
00:43:20 You're right, me.
00:43:22 You insulted me.
00:43:25 What do you want, Jennifer?
00:43:28 After you left, I started thinking,
00:43:30 it'd be so much better if we could just work this out.
00:43:34 I don't want to do all this if we don't have to.
00:43:37 No. You can drop the lawsuit, and then we can talk about it.
00:43:42 I don't think so, Elizabeth.
00:43:45 I'm doing this for my son.
00:43:47 Oh, please.
00:43:49 Don't use Mitch as your excuse.

00:43:53 You always hated how in love with me he was.
00:43:56 And now you're trying to get back at me
00:43:58 by taking the only thing that is important to me.
00:44:01 Trust me when I tell you it's never gonna happen.
00:44:06 If you think the letter is the only part of my case,
00:44:12 you're sadly mistaken.
00:44:14 Why are you speaking to my client?

00:44:17 It is highly inappropriate you talking to my client

00:44:22 There you are.

00:44:25 not to talk directly to my client.
00:44:27 Oh, well, since court hasn't even started yet,

00:44:36 Thank you.
00:44:38 Okay, that was totally out of line.

00:46:04 I have to say, Ms. Pyle,
00:46:05 I'm a little uncomfortable with this case.
00:46:08 I mean, you're fighting for the custody of a child
00:46:10 that hasn't even been born yet?
00:46:12 Really? Yeah.
00:46:14 Your Honor, we understand your discomfort.
00:46:18 However, once we present our evidence,
00:46:21 we are confident you will feel differently.
00:46:23 How?
00:46:26 All right, do you wish to, uh,
00:46:28 make an opening statement to the court?
00:46:30 Yes, Your Honor, just a brief one.
00:46:32 Very well, you may proceed.
00:46:34 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:46:38 Okay, I'm ready.
00:46:40 Thank you, Your Honor.
00:46:43 Your Honor, less than a year ago,
00:46:47 my client Jennifer Becker
00:46:49 tragically lost her only son of 37 years old.
00:46:52 Objection, Your Honor.
00:46:54 The plaintiff's lawyer is clearly trying to prey
00:46:56 on your sympathies.
00:46:57 That's not a real objection.
00:46:59 Objection overruled.
00:47:00 Listen, we're all aware that it's her husband and her son.
00:47:04 That's exactly why we're all here today, okay?
00:47:06 So let's just proceed.
00:47:08 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:47:10 What's with the attitude?
00:47:13 I'd like to apologize for my attitude.
00:47:16 Let's just please continue.
00:47:18 Thank you, Your Honor.
00:47:20 When it came to Elizabeth,
00:47:23 Mitch put up a facade.
00:47:25 He played the happy, excited, confident father-to-be.
00:47:31 But in reality, he was anything but.
00:47:35 He was really scared and nervous
00:47:38 about how he and Elizabeth would do raising a child.
00:47:42 So much so, Mitch wrote a letter
00:47:46 to an attorney with explicit instructions
00:47:49 not to mail the letter to my client
00:47:52 unless something tragic happened to him.
00:47:55 Unfortunately, it did.
00:47:57 Your Honor, is there a point going to be made here
00:48:00 except for exposing what 99.9% of expecting parents feel
00:48:04 when they're expecting their first child?
00:48:06 Well, if you would shut the hell up, I would get to the point.
00:48:09 Last time I shut the hell up,
00:48:11 you invested 20 grand of our parents' money in Enron.
00:48:13 Are you going there? I-- Why not? You didn't--
00:48:15 Hey! Now, both of you, stop it!
00:48:19 You want to hold him in contempt?
00:48:21 No, we're fine for right now.
00:48:24 Okay, continue.
00:48:26 Thank you, Your Honor.
00:48:29 My client is seeking full custody of her grandchild,
00:48:34 and we feel that it is in the best interest
00:48:37 of the court to grant it.
00:48:39 This is outrageous.
00:48:41 Your Honor,
00:48:46 it very well might be,
00:48:49 but I don't think that it is too much to ask
00:48:54 for the court to just listen for a day.
00:48:57 I mean, you would be honoring the memory of a son,
00:49:01 of a husband, to do that.
00:49:04 Thank you, Your Honor.
00:49:06 Your Honor, counsel just said "best interest of the child,"
00:49:14 and my response is, "What child?"
00:49:18 What are we even doing here?
00:49:20 That's the question I keep asking myself.
00:49:22 I mean, seriously, what are we even doing here?
00:49:26 We have a woman who recently lost her husband
00:49:29 to a tragic accident, and yet within that tragedy
00:49:32 has found the strength to not let it consume her,
00:49:35 knowing that she will soon be a mother.
00:49:37 Elizabeth Becker is a woman who has crawled
00:49:40 through 500 yards of shit-smelling foulness,
00:49:43 not to come out fresh and clean on the other side,
00:49:46 but to be served with papers
00:49:48 looking to strip her parental rights of a child
00:49:51 who has yet to take a single breath on this planet.
00:49:54 Your Honor, I'm fully aware the court takes children
00:49:57 from unfit parents all the time,
00:49:59 but those are cases based on actions that have consequences.
00:50:04 This isn't Minority Report.
00:50:06 We don't have laws on pre-crimes.
00:50:09 Objection, Your Honor.
00:50:11 Two movie references in an opening statement.
00:50:15 Please advise counsel to stay in reality.

00:50:20 Please refrain from using movie references in your statement.

00:50:34 That was from my cousin Vinny?
00:50:36 Yes.
00:50:37 I never saw it.
00:50:39 Yes, we did.

00:50:55 Will you tell the truth, the whole truth,
00:51:06 and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
00:51:08 I will.
00:51:09 Can I do it?
00:51:10 Yeah, go ahead.
00:51:11 You may be seated.
00:51:13 [♪♪♪]
00:51:18 Ms. Becker, what are you doing here today?
00:51:22 I'm here to honor my son's last wish.
00:51:25 And your son wanted you to fight for custody of your grandchild.
00:51:29 He did.
00:51:30 You know that, um, that's gonna be hard to get anyone to believe that.
00:51:35 I'm aware.
00:51:36 So why don't you explain to us why that is?
00:51:42 Soon after my son died,
00:51:44 I received a letter from an attorney's office.
00:51:48 Inside was a letter from the attorney
00:51:50 explaining what was happening,
00:51:52 and a letter that Mitch wrote.
00:51:55 I hear nothing about this.
00:51:56 Nothing.
00:51:57 Would you please read the letter?
00:52:00 Your Honor, do we have a date on when the letter was actually written?
00:52:06 The letter is dated April 18, 2015.
00:52:10 You weren't even married a year.
00:52:13 [♪♪♪]
00:52:18 "Dear Mom,
00:52:21 "I hope you're doing well.
00:52:24 "First off, let me say how sorry I am you missed the wedding.
00:52:28 "Elizabeth and I are doing great.
00:52:30 "I just love her so much.
00:52:34 "That being said, I need you to be aware
00:52:37 "that my love will blind me to certain things about Elizabeth.
00:52:41 "That is why I'm writing you--
00:52:44 "to warn you, to prepare you, and for you to promise me.
00:52:50 "If we start a family and something happens to me,
00:52:52 "I need you to make sure you do everything in your power
00:52:56 "to protect our children.
00:52:59 "Loving your children and knowing how to raise them
00:53:02 "are two completely different things,
00:53:05 "and I have serious doubts about Elizabeth's ability as a single parent,
00:53:10 "especially when it comes to commitment.
00:53:14 "I pray this letter never surfaces,
00:53:17 "but I know in my heart I'm doing the right thing.
00:53:20 "Call it an insurance policy for my soul.
00:53:25 "I love you, Mom. Mitch."
00:53:29 Now, you knew since Mitch's funeral that Elizabeth was pregnant.
00:53:36 Why did you wait so long to file?
00:53:39 I lost my only son. I needed time.
00:53:44 Why do you think he didn't send the letter when--
00:53:48 when he wrote it?
00:53:51 Elizabeth and I...
00:53:54 never had a great relationship.
00:53:56 I'm sure he thought that if he sent me the letter sooner,
00:53:59 nothing would ever change.
00:54:02 Is there anything else that you'd like to add?
00:54:07 Elizabeth, you will always be the child's mother.
00:54:10 Nothing will ever change that.
00:54:12 But based on the child's best interests
00:54:15 and what Mitch explicitly said he wanted,
00:54:18 the right thing to do is to grant me full custody.
00:54:22 No further questions, Your Honor.
00:54:25 Mr. Pyle, your witness.
00:54:28 Do you have any proof that you'd be better
00:54:31 at raising this child than my client?
00:54:34 What more do you need?
00:54:36 Have you witnessed my client in any way being a bad parent?
00:54:41 Abusing the child, neglecting the child?
00:54:44 Actually, let me start with this.
00:54:46 Do you see a child anywhere that serves as the basis
00:54:50 for the arguments that you pose?
00:54:52 Objection. Counsel is badgering the witness.
00:54:56 Objection sustained.
00:54:59 I'll rephrase.
00:55:01 Why do you think it's so important to go for custody now,
00:55:07 before the child is born?
00:55:09 Did you ever get gout, Counsel?
00:55:12 No, I haven't.
00:55:14 My father would get gout attacks so badly
00:55:17 that he could scarcely walk.
00:55:19 Drop a feather on his toe, my dad would be screaming in pain.
00:55:24 Until one day, a doctor told him that there was a little pill
00:55:27 that he could take to prevent future attacks.
00:55:30 My dad took that pill every day for 12 years,
00:55:33 and he never had another attack.
00:55:36 Your Honor, we don't need to wait and see.
00:55:40 So you're kind of like a preventative?
00:55:46 Something like that.
00:55:49 I have no further questions at this time, Your Honor.
00:55:55 Okay.
00:55:59 This is going on a lot longer than I anticipated this morning.
00:56:03 I actually have a doctor's appointment at 1 o'clock,
00:56:06 and I would like to ask both counsels
00:56:09 if we could reconvene this at 10 a.m. tomorrow.
00:56:11 I'm okay with that. That works.
00:56:14 We'll see you tomorrow at 10 a.m.

00:57:27 [ Sighs ] I'm just -- I'm so tired.
00:57:32 After the hearing today, I don't --
00:57:35 Maybe Jennifer's right.
00:57:37 Did I ever tell you that when I first started dating your mother,
00:57:41 her father hated me?
00:57:44 What? Grampy Joe?
00:57:47 You guys always got along so well.
00:57:49 Well, of course, by the time you and your sister were born.
00:57:53 So why did he hate you?
00:57:56 Because he didn't know me.
00:57:59 He didn't respect me.
00:58:01 He thought he knew what kind of person I was
00:58:03 just by looking at me.
00:58:06 Back then, wearing a leather jacket and riding a motorcycle
00:58:09 made you pretty popular with the girls.
00:58:12 I bet.
00:58:13 But not with their parents. [ Chuckles ]
00:58:16 So what changed?
00:58:18 Well, one day, Grampy Joe's car broke down
00:58:23 about 30 miles outside of town.
00:58:25 He had to walk 3 miles to the nearest gas station.
00:58:29 Luckily, they had a tow truck.
00:58:32 So he called Grammy, letting her know that the car had overheated.
00:58:36 He'd be home late, but he was okay.
00:58:39 And when the truck finally took him back to his car,
00:58:43 he saw me waiting.
00:58:46 [ Chuckles ]
00:58:47 Well, I handed the truck driver $5 and sent him on his way,
00:58:52 popped open the hood, and 30 minutes later, closed it...
00:58:57 [ Chuckles ]
00:58:59 ...with a perfectly fixed radiator hose.
00:59:02 I've never heard that before.
00:59:05 I'm sort of wondering what this has to do with me.
00:59:09 Grampy asked me why I had gone out of my way to help him.
00:59:15 He had done nothing but cause me grief
00:59:18 since the day he met me.
00:59:20 So what'd you tell him?
00:59:22 Well, I looked him straight in the eyes, and I said,
00:59:25 "I'm gonna marry your daughter,
00:59:28 and we're gonna start a family,
00:59:31 and a few times a month, you and Shirley will come over for dinner
00:59:34 because that's what families do."
00:59:37 And knowing that, I figured, "Why wait?
00:59:40 We're family now.
00:59:42 We need to be there for each other no matter what.
00:59:46 'Cause if you can't count on family, what's the point?"
00:59:50 There was a long pause.
00:59:54 And then he said, "You like brisket?"
00:59:59 [ Chuckles ]
01:00:00 And from that point on, it was a love fest between us.
01:00:05 That's a great story.
01:00:09 Not really sure what it has to do --
01:00:11 Jennifer is family, Elizabeth.
01:00:15 She may not like you, she may not respect you,
01:00:17 but she's family.
01:00:20 So you need to keep trying to find a way in.
01:00:24 Because when it comes to family, the door never completely closes.
01:00:30 That's not gonna be easy.

01:01:03 I really do.
01:01:05 But it doesn't work that way.
01:01:08 I can tell you this.
01:01:10 People like Mitch, who died before their time,

01:04:05 Yeah, why?
01:04:06 Because when I'm done cross-examining her,
01:04:09 she's going to wish you never let her.
01:04:12 I mean, heck, I might even start with Elizabeth in the first grade,
01:04:16 when she crazy-glued another student's hair to her desk.
01:04:21 What? How would you even know that?
01:04:24 Oh, it's called doing your homework.
01:04:28 But unfortunately, I'm not going to get the chance,
01:04:31 because you're smarter than that.
01:04:33 But your body language tells me something different,
01:04:38 so what's up?
01:04:43 You know what? Actually, you're right.
01:04:46 You got me.
01:04:49 I guess we're just going to play this out and hope for the best.
01:04:54 Did you really hit all those lights?
01:04:59 What does my body language tell you?
01:05:07 Good morning, everybody.
01:05:09 Morning.
01:05:13 Mallory, Murphy said good morning.
01:05:15 Good morning, Murphy.
01:05:18 Okay, Miss Pyle, you can call your first witness.
01:05:22 Your Honor, we rest.
01:05:25 Wow. You sure you want to do that?
01:05:28 We feel confident, but we reserve the right to call any rebuttal witnesses if necessary.
01:05:34 All right. In that case, Mr. Pyle, you may call your first witness.
01:05:38 Your Honor, we would like to call Dave Bream as character witness.
01:05:43 [door opens]
01:05:53 Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
01:05:58 I do. You may be seated.
01:06:04 So, in your opinion, Mr. Bream, do you believe Mitch could have written this letter?
01:06:10 Oh, never. From the day he met Elizabeth, he fell in love with her.
01:06:14 And how do you know this?
01:06:16 He told me. We became roommates freshman year, and we stayed roommates all through college.
01:06:20 Mitch writing that about Elizabeth, ew. It's not in his DNA.
01:06:24 And why do you think that?
01:06:26 Objection. Witness's opinion is not relevant to the case.
01:06:31 Overruled.
01:06:34 Please answer the question.
01:06:38 I grew up in Baltimore housing.
01:06:41 It was rough, but I mean, I kept my head down, I studied hard,
01:06:45 and I became the first person from my family to go to a university.
01:06:49 So when I found out that Mitch was going to be my roommate, I was a little nervous.
01:06:54 But within five minutes, I knew we were going to be friends for life.
01:06:58 There was one Thanksgiving where he came with me back to Baltimore,
01:07:03 and he was a popular guy, so he had all sorts of invitations to go to fancy dinners,
01:07:08 but no, he came with me.
01:07:11 And when we got back to campus, I think people wanted him to tell stories of, you know,
01:07:15 gun violence and gangs and, you know, police and EMTs,
01:07:18 but no, he just said it was one of the best Thanksgivings of his life.
01:07:22 And it was. Mitch made me a better person, and I'll always love him for that.
01:07:30 I have nothing further.
01:07:33 You seem to really love Mitch.
01:07:41 I do.
01:07:43 And yet, you didn't go to his funeral.
01:07:48 Um...
01:07:51 Who is Mr. High Quad?
01:07:56 Huh. What do you mean?
01:07:58 Well, wasn't that the name they gave you freshman year because you spent every day in the quad getting high?
01:08:05 Well, it wasn't every day. You know what I'm saying?
01:08:11 I mean, you got so high, how would you even know who Mitch was?
01:08:17 Objection!
01:08:19 With John. Nothing further.
01:08:26 Your Honor, before we get to Ms. Becker's testimony,
01:08:28 I would like to submit these two letters from her employer vouching for her character.
01:08:33 Thank you.
01:08:35 Now, Ms. Becker, as my client, we've had many discussions about
01:08:40 why you believe this custody battle has been brought on by lies and manipulations.
01:08:45 Can you please tell the court why you think that?
01:08:48 Because I know in my heart that Mitch did not write this letter.
01:08:52 How did the two of you meet?
01:08:54 Objection!
01:08:56 Relevance.
01:08:57 Your Honor, the relationship between Mitch and Elizabeth Becker is at the core of this case.
01:09:02 Objection overruled! Hey!
01:09:05 What? You mind?
01:09:08 Objection overruled.
01:09:12 Please continue.
01:09:14 On the first day of college, um, my door was stuck and Mitch lived on my floor.
01:09:23 I asked him for help and we were best friends for four years after that.
01:09:28 You were best friends.
01:09:30 But didn't Mitch confess to you years later that he fell in love with you on the day he met you?
01:09:36 He did, yeah.
01:09:38 Hmm. The dreaded friend zone.
01:09:41 Friend zone. I've been there many times, sir. Been there many times. He has. He really has.
01:09:46 Tell me about the pact.
01:09:49 The day before graduation, we made a pact that if neither of us had married anyone in ten years, we would marry each other.
01:09:59 And whose idea was that?
01:10:01 It was mine.
01:10:03 Then you both graduate, move home, and think nothing of it?
01:10:07 If you're talking about me, yes.
01:10:10 But not Mitch.
01:10:13 Ten years later, he came to find me to fulfill the pact.
01:10:17 So let me get this straight. Mitch, who fell in love with you on the day he met you, gets locked in the friend zone throughout college.
01:10:24 Then the day before you graduate, you make a pact that if neither one of you is married in ten years, you'll marry each other.
01:10:31 Mitch then waits ten years, discovers that you're not married, drives three thousand miles to find you, court you, and marry you.
01:10:39 Is that about it in a nutshell?
01:10:42 I'd say so, yes.
01:10:45 Mitch said that the day we made the pact, he felt like we got engaged.
01:10:50 Aww, that's nice.
01:10:53 Your Honor, does that sound like someone who would write a warning letter that Elizabeth would be an unfit mother?
01:10:58 It doesn't sound like that to me.
01:11:01 I just have one more question.
01:11:03 During the time that you and Mitch were married, were there any pressing issues between the two of you?
01:11:10 No, none.
01:11:12 We were the happiest couple.
01:11:15 When I got pregnant, he was so excited to become a father.
01:11:20 Never expressed concern?
01:11:22 No.
01:11:24 Never.
01:11:25 I don't know who wrote this letter, but it wasn't Mitch.
01:11:30 A letter that if he didn't write, means we wouldn't be here.
01:11:37 I have nothing further.
01:11:41 Ms. Pyle?
01:11:42 Yes, thank you.
01:11:51 You say it was your idea to have a pact?
01:11:55 Yes.
01:11:57 So, when Mitch came out to visit you after ten years, did you discuss it?
01:12:05 No.
01:12:06 No? Why not?
01:12:08 He didn't bring it up.
01:12:10 Did you?
01:12:11 No.
01:12:13 Why not?
01:12:15 It had been ten years. I didn't really remember making it.
01:12:20 Understandable.
01:12:22 But, I'm just wondering, why he didn't bring it up as soon as you two saw each other?
01:12:31 I mean, he drove across the country to find you.
01:12:36 Probably because he didn't know I was engaged to someone else.
01:12:41 Jake Jones was his name?
01:12:43 Yes.
01:12:44 And did you marry him?
01:12:47 No.
01:12:49 Was it because of Mitch?
01:12:53 Yes.
01:12:55 How did that go over? The breakup?
01:12:59 Well, breakups never really go well.
01:13:03 No, no, no. Especially on the wedding day. I mean, didn't you leave him standing at an altar?
01:13:10 Yes, but it was complicated.
01:13:13 Complicated? You know, according to a conversation that I had with Jake's father, Stan Jones,
01:13:20 were you and your mother both living rent-free in a house that they had paid for?
01:13:29 Shortly after my dad died, my mom and I were going to have to sell the house.
01:13:35 Jake bought it so we could continue to live in our own home.
01:13:39 Wow. I mean, that was really nice. And this is before the two of you had started dating?
01:13:45 Yes.
01:13:46 But then shortly thereafter, you were?
01:13:52 Yes.
01:13:53 Was this the first time you were getting married?
01:13:58 No.
01:14:01 And what happened to that one?
01:14:03 Three weeks before our wedding, I found out my fiancé slept with one of my bridesmaids.
01:14:08 Objection, Your Honor. Is there any relevance whatsoever to this line of questioning?
01:14:12 I'm establishing character.
01:14:15 Now, let's say that I have a puppy.
01:14:19 Now, my client has a stable, loving environment.
01:14:25 Or should I give the puppy to a woman who has called off two weddings, one of them during the ceremony,
01:14:34 and let me remind you, she has never held down a financially stable job in her life.
01:14:43 Oh, and yet, in fear of the rent-free gravy train ending,
01:14:50 she falls in love with the guy and then sticks him at the altar when something better comes along.
01:14:58 That is a lie.
01:14:59 A lie? The true lie here is you telling all of us that you and Mitch had a fairy tale life.
01:15:08 That is not a lie.
01:15:12 What about his gambling debts?
01:15:18 What about them?
01:15:20 It was just last year that you became aware that Mitch maxed out all of your credit cards.
01:15:26 And the three business trips that he was supposed to take weren't business trips at all, but jaunts to Indian casinos?
01:15:35 I think we could both agree that marriages aren't all perfect.
01:15:39 Just yours.
01:15:41 Right, Elizabeth?
01:15:43 I mean, you just told this court, under oath, that until the day he died, you and Mitch had the perfect life.
01:15:54 Yet, he was keeping secrets from you.
01:15:59 And I'm just wondering, what secrets were you keeping from him?
01:16:04 None.
01:16:05 Your Honor.
01:16:06 You know, contrary to what you think, Mitch did not have a gambling problem.
01:16:12 He complained to me all the time that he couldn't provide for me in the way that he wanted to.
01:16:18 We argued about it a lot.
01:16:21 No matter how crazy I told him I thought that he was, he didn't care.
01:16:27 When he came to me and told me what he'd been doing, we talked about it.
01:16:34 We worked it out.
01:16:36 Because that's what people do when they love each other.
01:16:39 Your Honor, you can clearly see that my sister is badgering the witness.
01:16:43 This is ridiculous.
01:16:44 Oh, no, my brother.
01:16:45 What is ridiculous is that you know I'm right, and you keep fighting.
01:16:55 No further questions, Your Honor.
01:16:58 Ms. Becker, you're excused.
01:17:10 I must say, Counselor, I'm a bit hesitant to dismiss this case based on the testimony I just heard.
01:17:15 I'm inclined not to go to summary judgment on this.
01:17:20 I know.
01:17:21 Well, okay.
01:17:23 All right, okay.
01:17:25 I just had a little conference here with Murphy, and I decided to gather my thoughts and read through everything that's been presented,
01:17:32 and I'll make my decision tomorrow at 10 a.m.
01:17:51 Hi.
01:17:53 Hi.
01:17:55 Where is she?
01:18:00 She's out back.
01:18:08 Hey.
01:18:14 It seems like my sister really cares about you.
01:18:19 Well, I care about her very much.
01:18:29 You better fix this.
01:18:35 You okay?
01:18:37 I don't see any empty ice cream containers, so that's a plus.
01:18:43 I'm just too tired to eat.
01:18:48 It's not over, Elizabeth.
01:18:50 The judge will do what's right.
01:18:52 I wish I had your confidence.
01:18:55 You know, I lost my husband, and now I'm possibly going to lose my baby, too?
01:19:02 Like, what did I do in my past life?
01:19:05 Run puppy mills or something?
01:19:07 You've got to stop beating yourself up.
01:19:09 You've done nothing wrong on both counts.
01:19:12 Why do I feel so guilty?
01:19:19 Tell me how much time.
01:19:22 No.
01:19:24 I'm not ready to talk about it yet.
01:19:26 Actually, I think you are.
01:19:28 You've never been more ready.
01:19:35 Well?
01:19:47 Yeah, I don't think so.
01:19:52 So, it was the curry that killed him?
01:19:56 Now you know.
01:19:59 Wow.
01:20:09 That bad?
01:20:11 Oh, it goes as I hoped.
01:20:15 The judge will have his decision tomorrow.
01:20:17 Well, you might think differently in a second.
01:20:20 Why? What do you got?
01:20:21 Do you remember the other day you asked me to make a copy of the letter Mitch wrote?
01:20:25 Well, I noticed on the back, it was a small little stamp.
01:20:28 It said, "Pierce, Franklin, and Associates."
01:20:31 I remember that because I went to Franklin Pierce College.
01:20:34 It's probably just the law firm that delivered the letter.
01:20:37 It's not a big deal.
01:20:39 Well, I called to confirm that the letter was delivered to a Jennifer Becker, which it was.
01:20:46 Okay.
01:20:48 Well, guess who's had them on retainer for the last 20 plus years?
01:20:54 Holy sh--
01:21:03 Morning, everyone.
01:21:07 Valerie, Murphy said good morning.
01:21:10 Good morning, Murphy.
01:21:13 Your Honor, I would like to call one last witness to testify.
01:21:18 Jake Jones.
01:21:26 What is he doing here? How does he know about this?
01:21:31 Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
01:21:36 I do.
01:21:39 Your witness.
01:21:41 Can you state your name for the record, please?
01:21:43 Jacob Jones.
01:21:46 And can you tell the court how you know the defendant?
01:21:51 Elizabeth was my fiancée.
01:21:55 Would you care to elaborate on that?
01:21:58 We were engaged to be married, but on the day of our wedding, she left me standing at the altar.
01:22:04 We haven't spoken since.
01:22:07 So would it be fair to say that you being here today is not a result of a close personal friendship you have at the moment?
01:22:15 Yeah, I think that would be fair to say.
01:22:18 So then, why are you here?
01:22:21 Because regardless of the history that Elizabeth and I share with one another, I can't let her life be destroyed based on a lie.
01:22:30 What do you mean?
01:22:33 That letter that Mitch supposedly sent to his mother, he didn't write it, I did.
01:22:40 Objection.
01:22:41 For what?
01:22:42 I was just about to ask the same thing, for what?
01:22:46 Can you please say that again?
01:22:49 Mitch didn't write that letter, I did.
01:22:55 Your Honor, I was about to get married to the woman that I love, and on the day of our wedding, she ran away from me to be with the man that she truly loved.
01:23:07 I was humiliated.
01:23:09 I was embarrassed in front of my family, my friends, everyone close to me in my life.
01:23:17 I was angry.
01:23:21 I was angry for a long time.
01:23:26 When I wrote that letter, I was lashing out.
01:23:30 I wanted to hurt Elizabeth as much as she'd hurt me.
01:23:35 Maybe I was looking for some semblance of closure with everything that happened, but I never imagined in 50 years that anyone would actually ever see it.
01:23:46 The truth is, up until yesterday, I had completely forgotten that I had written the letter.
01:23:51 When I got a call from Mr. Pyle telling me everything that was happening, well, I jumped on a plane and rushed here as fast as I could.
01:24:03 I'm so sorry, Elizabeth.
01:24:07 Your Honor, the only reason we're here today is because of me.
01:24:10 Elizabeth is an amazing woman.
01:24:13 She's kind, she's compassionate.
01:24:18 She's one of the most caring people I've ever known.
01:24:23 She lost her husband in a horrible accident, yet she still had the courage to pick herself up and start a whole new life.
01:24:31 I have no doubt in my mind that if Mitch were alive today, he'd want nothing more than for Elizabeth to raise their child surrounded by a loving family and friends.
01:24:45 I can't think of anyone else who'd be a better mother.
01:24:58 I'm not asking you that. Ask him. Elizabeth. Ask him.
01:25:03 I just have one last question.
01:25:06 Can you forgive Elizabeth for what happened on your wedding day?
01:25:12 Forgive Elizabeth?
01:25:16 I forgave her a long time ago.
01:25:19 I can only hope, even though I might not deserve it, that she can find a way to forgive me.
01:25:30 I have nothing further.
01:25:36 Miss Pyle, cross.
01:25:42 One minute with my client, please.
01:25:44 One minute.
01:25:52 Your Honor, if it pleases the court, we'd like to withdraw our petition for full custody.
01:25:57 All right. Granted.
01:26:01 Case dismissed.
01:26:06 You did it.
01:26:08 Thank you. My pleasure.
01:26:20 May I have a word?
01:26:25 Of course.
01:26:30 I am so sorry, Elizabeth.
01:26:34 I had every reason to believe that Mitch wrote that letter.
01:26:38 I don't hate you. I mean, I...
01:26:42 I would love to be in your life if you'll let me.
01:26:47 But I understand if you ever want to see me again.
01:26:52 I put you through enough.
01:26:59 Jennifer.
01:27:03 I... I haven't picked out a crib yet.
01:27:08 Not yet?
01:27:10 I've been a little distracted.
01:27:15 I thought maybe we could do that together.
01:27:19 You would be okay with that?
01:27:23 Yeah.
01:27:25 We're family.
01:27:31 I would like that very much.
01:27:43 Don't you just love our justice system at work?
01:27:46 Well, yes, Your Honor. That is why I work here.
01:27:49 I mean, look at them.
01:27:51 When they walked in here, they were arguing with each other.
01:27:54 Now they're hugging. I think that's beautiful.
01:27:57 About the Doherty case, would you like to reschedule for noon?
01:28:00 Yeah, that's fine.
01:28:02 Great. I will let the attorneys know.
01:28:04 Oh, uh, Annie, could you take Murphy for a walk?
01:28:07 It looks like he's gotta go.
01:28:10 Oh, thank you.
01:28:15 Oh, wait. Oh!
01:28:22 Hey, truce. I'm buying.
01:28:26 Of course. Family.
01:28:28 Move it. Move aside. Lady having a baby.
01:28:31 Dad says you gotta quit smoking.
01:28:33 Now is not the time.
01:28:38 Well, tell Brian we're not selling that.
01:28:40 He'll live, Dad.
01:28:42 All right. I'll see you soon. Love you.
01:28:45 Oh, hey, Jake.
01:28:46 Jake. Hey. Sorry I'm late.
01:28:48 Any news?
01:28:49 Oh, honey, nothing yet.
01:28:50 Oh, Jake, this is, uh, Joe.
01:28:52 Um, Elizabeth's boss and friend.
01:28:54 Yeah. And this is Kevin, my sister's lawyer.
01:28:57 Hey. Joe, how are you?
01:28:58 How we do?
01:28:59 Oh, we won.
01:29:01 Oh, wait a minute. You own the plant store.
01:29:04 I do, but it's a flower shop.
01:29:07 Wait, so you rushed over here, Elizabeth's having a baby,
01:29:09 and you didn't bring any flowers?
01:29:11 Jake.
01:29:12 I'm just kidding. It's good to meet you, Joe.
01:29:14 Ignore him.
01:29:15 Rachel Carter?
01:29:16 Oh, yeah, that's me.
01:29:17 You can all relax. Elizabeth did great.
01:29:20 And the baby?
01:29:22 She had a beautiful baby girl.
01:29:24 [laughing]
01:29:28 Congratulations, Aunt Rachel.
01:29:29 Oh, thanks, douchebag.
01:29:30 Happy for you.
01:29:33 When can we see her?
01:29:34 Elizabeth is resting. She's pretty tired right now.
01:29:37 Give her a few hours.
01:29:38 In the meantime, grab something to eat or drink,
01:29:41 make the calls you need to make,
01:29:42 and I'll text you when you can see the baby.
01:29:45 Oh, thank you, Dr. Turner.
01:29:48 She's our hugger.
01:29:49 Hi. Hi, Em.
01:29:51 [laughing]
01:29:54 [music playing]
01:29:58 You didn't think we were going to miss this now, did you?
01:30:03 Mom, I'm really glad you're here.
01:30:05 Me too.
01:30:06 What about you?
01:30:07 Donna called me up, so I picked her up at the airport.
01:30:10 Oh, and Laura gives her best,
01:30:12 and she's so sorry that she can't be here.
01:30:14 But she's actually doing great.
01:30:16 She married a man who runs a hardware store
01:30:18 in Rugby, North Dakota.
01:30:20 Please give her my best.
01:30:22 You know I will.
01:30:24 Honey, we're dying to know.
01:30:29 Did you name her yet?
01:30:33 Yes.
01:30:34 [music playing]
01:30:37 I did.
01:30:39 Her name is Michelle.
01:30:43 Michelle Baker.

01:31:20 Hi, Dr. Hudson.
01:31:30 Jake Jones is still here.
01:31:33 I told him visiting hours were over.
01:31:36 But as soon as I left the room, he
01:31:38 started passing out $100 bills to the nurses like bubble gum,
01:31:42 trying to bribe his way up here.
01:31:44 So, Jake.
01:31:46 You can-- you can let him in.
01:31:48 It's OK.
01:31:50 Thank you.
01:31:51 Hi.
01:31:59 Hi.
01:32:00 How's she doing?
01:32:02 She's finally asleep.
01:32:05 [music playing]
01:32:08 She's beautiful.
01:32:11 [music playing]
01:32:15 I, uh, ran into Rudy and your mom earlier outside.
01:32:20 Mm.
01:32:21 How'd that go?
01:32:23 Well, I think Rudy pretty much still hates me.
01:32:26 Probably.
01:32:28 It was great seeing your mom, though,
01:32:30 catching up, remembering good times.
01:32:34 Listen.
01:32:40 I'm really grateful for what you did for me.
01:32:43 [music playing]
01:32:45 But I also feel like I need to just clarify that you and I are--
01:32:51 What are you talking about?
01:32:54 Well, you rode in here like Robin Hood,
01:32:57 like you were just going to save the day.
01:33:00 Remember, I-- I know you.
01:33:02 If it's some kind of maneuver to get me back--
01:33:05 Listen, Beth.
01:33:06 I'm not-- I'm not trying to win you back.
01:33:10 Look, I came here to make everything right.
01:33:16 I'm actually engaged to be married.
01:33:19 Her name's Sarah.
01:33:21 She's, um-- she's a really, really special woman.
01:33:26 I think you'd really like her.
01:33:29 That's great.
01:33:31 I'm sorry I jumped on you like that.
01:33:34 Elizabeth, please.
01:33:36 You have nothing to be sorry about.
01:33:39 Look, I'm the one who messed up.
01:33:41 I can't believe you had to go through all of this because of--
01:33:48 because of something stupid that I did.
01:33:52 When I wrote you that letter, I was really hurt when you left me.
01:34:00 I mean, I know that's no excuse, but--
01:34:08 Truth is, I didn't deserve you.
01:34:11 I definitely wasn't ready for you.
01:34:13 I just loved you so much.
01:34:20 And I'm so sorry you-- you lost him,
01:34:23 but now you have this-- you have this beautiful life ahead of you.
01:34:28 Yeah.
01:34:30 I sure do.
01:34:33 And in time,
01:34:36 that person's gonna come into your life when it's right.
01:34:39 I mean, that's the way it usually works, right?
01:34:42 Look, I should-- I should probably get going.
01:34:50 It was really great seeing you again, Elizabeth.
01:34:53 I'm really happy for you.
01:34:56 Take care of yourself.
01:34:58 Yeah, you too.
01:35:00 And you, little one.
01:35:05 [sniffles]
01:35:08 She has your eyes.
01:35:10 [knocking]
01:35:31 Hi.
01:35:33 Hope I'm not bothering you.
01:35:35 No. Come in.
01:35:38 I'm sorry I had to skip out yesterday.
01:35:40 One of my old clients got his fourth DUI.
01:35:43 I had to go to court.
01:35:45 Hope you didn't have Judge Steele.
01:35:47 No. No. Judge Valerie Bourne.
01:35:50 Just Judge Valerie Bourne.
01:35:53 That's-- that's good.
01:35:55 May I?
01:35:56 Yeah, of course.
01:35:58 Wow.
01:36:01 Oh, she is beautiful.
01:36:04 Listen, um, I hope I'm not overstepping here,
01:36:16 but maybe when you get home and settled,
01:36:20 you'd like to have coffee with me?
01:36:24 Yes.
01:36:26 Really?
01:36:28 Terrific.
01:36:31 I'm out Friday at noon.
01:36:34 Then I will be here to check you out.
01:36:37 That didn't come out right.
01:36:39 [laughs]
01:36:40 It came out perfect.
01:36:42 I'll see you tomorrow?
01:36:44 Yeah. Yeah.
01:36:47 Bye.
01:36:50 Bye.
01:36:56 The future looks bright, Michelle.
01:36:59 For both of us.
01:37:01 I can feel it.
01:37:04 Sorry I'm late.
01:37:07 Hey, you.
01:37:09 I bought you a teddy bear
01:37:12 holding a flower
01:37:15 in a coffee mug.
01:37:18 [laughs]
