00:00Oops, I did it again.
00:04I woke up at 75 years old without a husband or money
00:07and a 12-year-old kid to raise.
00:09Oh, dear.
00:10Happy Monday.
00:11Talk to me about Peabody.
00:12I got them up to 19 million.
00:14Actually, you can get quite a bit more out of Peabody.
00:18Who are you?
00:18Madeline Matlock.
00:20Yeah, like the old TV show.
00:22Working for?
00:23You, hopefully.
00:24How do you know the number?
00:25There's this funny thing that happens when women age.
00:28We become damn near invisible.
00:30Oh, dear.
00:32I got you.
00:33That's how I got through your security.
00:36And it's also how I knew the number that Peabody
00:38is willing to pay.
00:3923, great.
00:42Am I hired?
00:45Point me to a case and put me to work.
00:47You're a harmless old lady.
00:48Oops, I need my glasses.
00:50When was the last time you practiced law?
00:51That was 1991.
00:53Back when I tried cases, we just prayed the horse and buggy
00:55got to court on time.
00:57Which isn't useful right now.
00:58Not useful, but funny.
01:00People assume I'm a harmless old lady.
01:03It's useful.
01:03Nobody sees us coming.
01:06I don't know these people.
01:08It's me, your Aunt Brenda.
01:10I got sick, lost a lot of weight.
01:12I just never thought you wouldn't recognize me.
01:16It just took a second.
01:17I recognize you.
01:19I've got the kids tonight.
01:20Otherwise, we'd be having a scotch.
01:22Well, no scotch for me, lest I'm getting laid.
01:25I guess that's not on the table.
01:27Where did you come from, Madeline Matlock?
01:31If I wanted to call up an old case file.
01:33This is your first official day.
01:36Why are you asking what file could you possibly need?
01:39Pupils are dilated.
01:40Why are you nervous?
01:42I have to continue to build trust with Olympia.
01:44Trust you?
01:45Maddie, I just met you last week.
01:46I'm not that innocent.
01:52Nobody sees me coming.
01:58Maddie, I appreciate your honesty.
02:00Well, that's me, honest to a fault.
02:03I'm not that innocent.
