I think you should just leave.
Previously on "Rebel"...
We're super drunk, so obviously don't leave,
but we gotta figure this out.
Your eyes are so pretty.
"Where have I seen him before?"
- The video. - The video.
You're the victim of revenge porn.
You're the lead associate on the case now.
And we need the win. I need the win.
My husband developed Stonemore's mechanical heart valve.
I think he's ready to talk.
A whistleblower. From inside Stonemore.
Does Rebel know that her husband has an 8-year-old son
down in Torrance?
And get this... The kid's name...
is Grady.
Oh, no, Steve, I am not nervous about the trial.
I am confident that we will prove our case...
That Stonemore knowingly put a valve on the market
that kills people.
Sounds like Stonemore should be feeling nervous then.
Oh, look. There are good people inside Stonemore.
And those people? The good ones?
I think they feel just as victimized
as those people that are suffering.
Hey, Tiger, whip me up a coffee, wouldja?
Dad.
Sorry, Steve.
That's my husband, Grady.
Who's this?
It's all of Chicago.
Nice to meet you, Grady.
Steve Rainey with "Chicago on the Daily."
Oh, pre-trial interview day. Sorry, man, I-I just forgot.
You can edit this out, right?
It's live.
Hey, Chicago! Go Bulls!
So, uh, Grady.
- Think your wife's gonna win this case? - She better, Steve.
'Cause she stole our kid's college money to fund it.
Uh, actually, our daughter willingly gave her money.
Tell 'em, Zig.
Mom... Hi, Steve.
Uh, yeah, I gave my money happily
because I wanted to see justice served.
You know, corporations have deep pockets.
Ours are not as deep, but they are wide.
Our daughter gave money, local schools are having bake sales.
These are real people hurting, and real people helping.
Well, we'll be sure to check back in with Rebel
after the verdict.
Thanks for stopping by, Rebel.
Thank you.
And now for today's weather...
Phew.
Well, at least you weren't in a towel.
Chicago's loss.
Zig, what's next?
Uh, WPVI in Philly. You have 10 minutes.
- Okay. - And then we gotta head out.
Hey, have we heard from Randall?
Not yet. He said he would text when Karsten woke up.
Karsten's the whistleblower guy?
Not yet. He's not cooperating.
Oh, but he will. We're gonna get him.
I'm just gonna go change.
Philly's gonna get a little more cleavage.
Alright now.
Better charge this stuff.
- Wanna do it in your room? - Yeah.
"Charge this stuff" better not be code for "let's get it on."
N-No, sir.
I like being called "sir."
As much as you like being called "Daddy"?
Oh, you're just mad 'cause I told some news guy
about the stolen college fund.
Grady Bello speaks the truth,
'cause the truth will set you free.
Oh, yeah?
Well, how about letting me know if it's true
if you have a son with a woman named Allison Watson?
Wow.
I shouldn't have said it.
I tried not to say it,
because I wanted it not to be true.
I actively did not check this out
because I was hoping it was a trap
that they were luring me into, but it's not.
And that? That face of yours?
We can't have that face of yours,
'cause then she'll say, "What's wrong, Grady?"
And you'll tell her, even though you seem to have been fine
lying to her for 9 years.
Dammit. This was a trap, and I fell right into it.
- How'd you find out? - You know what?
You are such a weak man.
A truly weak man.
And you have been given so many chances to be better than you are
because she loves you.
She willfully refuses to see you as you are
because maybe she realizes if she sees you
for who you really are, that rage will swallow her whole,
and we can't have that.
At least not till this trial is over,
because that's what they want.
For her eye to be off the ball.
That's... That's why Stonemore let this information
come my way.
And I fell right into it.
Dammit!
You... You are too weak to be trusted,
with your crocodile mouth and hummingbird ass.
Now I gotta fix this.
Dammit.
Alright, what do you think?
Can Philly handle this much of me? Huh?
What?
Too much?
It's perfect!
Uh, Grady was just telling me about his fishing trip.
Oh, you're going fishing?
Y... You didn't tell her?
Yeah, he said he wanted to get away from the media circus
and get a boat and go fishing for a few days.
Maybe even a week.
- Oh. - Going fishing.
You know, get out of your hair.
Well, sure.
Sounds really fun, actually.
I... I swear I-I-I'm gonna go on a fishing trip with you
once that whistleblower blows and we win this case.
Right? Let's go. Come on.
Zig! Sean!
We've put together a PowerPoint of the witnesses Cruz will call
and the narrative he'll push.
We think he'll lead with Helen Peterson.
That's his hero... The gray-haired granny
who took on Stonemore.
Mm-hmm. And then he'll bring up Maddie Peterson.
They'll lean heavily on the baby who was born and died.
6 of our female jurors are mothers
and 4 of the men are dads.
If we cross-examine her too hard, then we lose the jury.
But if we don't cross her at all, we'll look afraid of her.
Or of them, and of the truth.
Yeah, she's a tough one.
Morning. Brought you coffee.
I'd rather have a whistleblower.
Did you bring me that?
Not yet. Drink your coffee.
I don't want coffee. I want a case.
We lost Maddie.
- What do you mean? - Helen called.
She said that Maddie was too depressed to testify.
The baby, the heart, the whole thing. So, no Maddie.
Yeah, well, Nate's working on her meds.
We'll get Maddie back.
And I'm supposed to believe you?
You said you had a whistleblower.
- I have a whistleblower. - Where is he?
He's not ready to cooperate yet, but it's gonna be fine.
I need proof that that heart valve is bad.
I told you that I'm gonna get proof.
Lana, did Randall text back?
Yep. Karsten's up. He's in the shower.
Did you hear that? He's in the shower.
And how does that help me?
I had a brainstorm.
The way that we're gonna get Karsten the chemist
is to introduce him to Daniel.
Uh, my name is Daniel Wiley.
I was custodian at Sacred Heart for 25 years.
The kids all called me Dan the Man.
About the time I turned 55
is when the shortness of breath started.
It got to where I'd get winded
sweeping half a corridor.
So, I went to the doctor
and he told me I needed a new heart valve.
But even with the insurance and the time off and the co-pays,
I couldn't see how I was gonna do it financially.
Well, my students heard about it...
And have you heard of GoFundMe?
Oh, the kids put out the word and the money...
The money just poured in.
And I got a new valve, a Stonemore.
And I felt great.
For two years.
Those kids went through all the trouble...
Here I am. You see me now.
I'm sicker than I was before I got the operation.
They went through all that trouble for me.
It's like someone played a dirty trick on them.
And me, too.
And we all lost.
We call that our Dan the Man Problem.
Luke and I watched it last night and he cried like a baby.
I-I mean, there's just something about everyone
rallying around Dan the Man.
And he feels bad for them.
That they got tricked.
Oh, God. You too?
This is a disaster.
Patient after patient, one story sadder than the next.
Yeah, but as you would say, emotion doesn't equal proof.
If poor kids wanted to give money to Dan the Man,
you don't think a jury's gonna want to?
Who else? Who else is on that witness list?
They have a series of experts to talk about the FDA loophole
and the lack of human trials.
And Dr. Misha Nelson and her study
that's yet to prove any concrete correlation.
But she did put eyes on what she said was a deteriorating valve.
Okay. We'll look cold and cruel if we try to discredit the victims,
so let's find something on Dr. Nelson.
I mean, we looked.
High WebMD ratings, no malpractice lawsuits...
She's pretty unimpeachable.
Everyone's got skeletons in their closet.
You should know that better than anyone, Luke.
See what you can find.
I'm never gonna live that down.
What are we doing here, babe? Did you adopt a dog?
I swear to God, Randall, I told you
I do not want a puppy for our anniversary.
It's not a puppy.
No. No, no, no, no.
You stay away from me.
I told you, I do not want to talk to you.
Yes, I know, I know, I know.
You are not here to talk to me.
I want you to talk to my friend, Daniel.
He has a Stonemore valve.
What were you thinking?
Your husband is worried about you.
My husband has no idea what he started by talking to you.
He thinks you want to talk.
That you are a victim of Stonemore, too.
He thinks this case is eating away at you
and ruining your marriage.
Wow. Happy Anniversary.
Daniel asked us not to come because he's not feeling well,
so we will keep this brief.
So, we're barging in on a sick man who asked us not to come?
Amazing. Why is he sick, Karsten?
You tell me that and we'll leave poor Daniel alone.
You are relentless.
I've heard.
Oh, Rebel.
- I told you... - Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know, I know.
But we were in the neighborhood
and this is Karsten, and he is a...
Are you moving?
I told you today wasn't good.
I don't understand.
I wanted to take the settlement from the beginning,
you know that.
W-What are you saying? Are... Are you backing out?
You have to understand, I'm in pain.
Look, um, Daniel, this is Karsten the chemist.
He... He's the one who created your valve.
Tell him how sick you are.
Tell him about the... the headaches
and the shortness of breath.
I only have a limited amount of energy
and the movers are coming.
You see all these chairs lined up against the wall?
He is so weak that he can't walk to the bathroom
without taking a break.
He has to sit down every few feet.
Go on, tell him, Daniel.
Please. You need to go.
They got to you, didn't they?
Stonemore got to you.
Synced & corrected by -robtor- www.addic7ed.com
Oh.
Please, Daniel.
We are so close to winning.
You can't give up now.
I'm too sick and too old
to even survive a surgery to take the valve out.
Look, I just want to enjoy the little time I have left.
I'm moving to Hawaii.
They bought this house for double what it's worth.
Cash, if I get out of the house today.
Who?
A-A couple. Maybe they were Stonemore.
Maybe they were just a nice couple.
I don't know.
But why should I have to suffer because of what they did?
What you did?
I've never seen whales.
I'm gonna go whale-watching.
And I'm gonna have a mai tai by a live volcano.
I'm gonna just do something different
than die a painful death in this house.
I'm sorry.
Tell Cruz.
I didn't have the guts to do it myself.
When you get to Hawaii, um,
find a doctor who will start you on a chelation protocol.
I'm done with doctors.
Listen to me. Chelation will help.
I promise. Trust me.
The chemist who made the valve that's killing me
is asking me to trust him.
Please leave.
All of you.
Oh.
- Nate. - Hey.
Hi.
- Um, look, about the other night... - Yeah, we should t...
- No, you go. - You go.
So, um, you said the thing about wanting to be monogamous
and, uh, I feel like I've been really clear about this
and this is... Yeah, no, it's work and sex.
I-I just... I got drunk and a little carried away, so...
Can we just chalk it up to that?
- Oh. Okay. - Yeah.
- Okay.
- I gotta go. I got an ovarian cyst.
Not, personally. You know, a-a patient.
And I gotta go check on Maddie.
She's depressed and says she doesn't want to testify.
- Yeah, I heard. - How did you hear?
My mom just told me to go check on her.
Then she called me to check on you
to make sure you went to go check on her.
- She's... - Yeah, she really is.
I...
I did a whole soliloquy about your eyes the other night,
- didn't I? - You did.
You called them glossy chestnuts.
It was sweet, but you were drunk, so...
- Gin. - Hmm.
- And it's your mom. - Oh, I'm leaving.
Yeah, he, uh... He just left to go see Maddie.
What's chelation?
Um, it's a process by which metal ions in the bloodstream,
like mercury or lead, are eliminated by binding
to a circulating chelating solution.
Simpler. Talk to me like I'm a toddler.
It's a therapy. It basically makes bad things go bye-bye.
Alright, now you over-corrected.
Just, somewhere in the middle.
Karsten the chemist said it would help Daniel.
Wow.
Um, he just admitted that the valve is poisoning people.
That's the one I wanted. Thanks.
Yep, Misha says it's an admission.
You think he's gonna talk?
Let's hope so.
Ugh.
- Rick? - Yep.
He wants to go to Carmel after the trial is over.
Get a house, walk on the beach.
Sounds great.
I don't like sand in my toes.
No, you just don't know how to take a vacation.
- Do you? - No.
But after this trial, we're gonna learn.
We are gonna go on vacation with those men of ours
who put up with our workaholic crap.
Oh, Lord, Rebel.
They put up with us, but we also put up with them.
We need to see them clearly.
What do you mean?
He's gonna cooperate, right?
He better.
♪ What can I say? ♪
So, I'm gonna go fish now.

He's gone. So is she.
Well, unless she pops back in.
I mean, your mom's kinda unpredictable.
Yeah, we can't see her coming from here,
but we can see her from the kitchen.
The kitchen?
Okay. One eye on the driveway at all times.
Clothes stay on above the waist in case we have to move quickly,
and we set the scene. Books. Snacks.
We're studying, okay? Let's do this.
I'm so turned on by you right now.
♪ Kiss like a mother ♪
♪ You should run for cover ♪
Hey. So, Misha's social media is full of pictures of food.
I think I've got something.
Ooh. Tell me.
Poor judgment.
She's sleeping with your brother.
Okay, that's bad taste, but how is that poor judgment?
Well, your brother is inclined to skew the results
of the study to be whatever your mother wants them to be,
and Misha, by sleeping with your brother,
is inclined to say whatever he wants her to say.
Okay, first of all, my brother is inclined to hate my mother,
so that part of your little theory falls flat.
And Misha doesn't want a relationship with him.
In fact, she dislikes him on a fundamental level
and is just having sex with him to scratch an itch.
Oh, come on. I mean, look...
What? I think you're hot.
I also think this is a desperate attempt to impress Benji
after your little ding dong dance,
and if I slept with you, I'd still feel that way,
because I'm capable of having enjoyable sex with a hot man
while having my own opinions.
Wow.
You think I'm hot?
Leave my office. I'm working.
I hope you're not checking out my hot ass.
That would make me feel very objectified.
No, I'm not... I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this.
And, Rebel, listen. I, um... I admire you.
I mean, I find you maddening, but under other circumstances,
I might want to grab a drink.
- Maybe. Someday. - How 'bout today?
Let's go get drunk. Maybe that's what you need.
I cannot talk to you.
You saw how sick he is,
and you have basically admitted that the valve was flawed.
I talked to my medical expert.
Okay, I'm gonna choose my words very carefully.
I know you think you are helping. You are not.
You are not actually helping the people you think you are.
I am, okay? At least I am trying.
So please, that is all I can say, alright?
Thank you.
Babe.
I'm worried you are going to die.
Last week, I followed you to the lab
because you're too depleted to drive like a normal person.
Because if you're not speeding, you're swerving all over the road.
You followed me?
Because I'm worried you're going to kill yourself on the road.
Well, wouldn't that be lovely.
It's been an absolute pleasure.
I'm going now. Are you coming?
I don't know what else to do.
I'm sorry.
- You didn't get the chemist? - We can subpoena him.
Oh, so he comes unwillingly and says nothing?
Or... Or he lies? Or he pleads the fifth?
No, he might not.
Maybe he just needs to be scared.
Maybe the judge will scare him.
You told me you had this. You told me you had this!
You said that you knew that you could get this man
to cooperate freely.
I was wrong.
Oh.
Say that again.
I was wrong.
I was wrong about getting him to cooperate freely,
but I am not wrong about him.
He knows something. I think he knows everything.
I'm Charlie Brown.
I keep kicking that football because I keep believing you.
I believed you when you said that this case was a slam dunk.
I believed you when you said you had a whistleblower
and I didn't have to dig up my wife.
I believed you when you said you had Daniel and Maddie,
and now I keep believing you, which makes me a sucker.
You are not a sucker. Just get a subpoena.
It'll work.
I actually think it might be what he wants.
It's like a cover.
He can tell Stonemore that he had to cooperate
because he got a subpoena.
Okay. Randall called.
Karsten thinks you're gonna subpoena him,
forcing him to testify, so he's leaving town.
He's packing, and Randall thinks he's gonna head to the airport.
Charlie Brown with a football.
Don't talk! Just... give me a second.
Oh. I have an idea.
A good one.
You call the judge and get the subpoena ready.
I'm gonna fix this.
The worst part? I believe her.
I moved out of my mom's place so she would stop hovering.
So now she sent you to hover?
Nope. I am not here to hover.
Then you're here to talk me into testifying.
No, I'm here to talk you into going bowling with me.
Bowling?
L-Like... Like, with the funny shoes and the heavy balls?
Yeah.
I was raised by Mannies and there's not a lot you can do
with a sullen teenager who's pissed off at his parents
for never being around, but there's this one guy...
Patrick.
And, uh, he was kinda weird and smelled funny,
but he loved bowling.
And so that's what we'd do. We'd go bowling.
And I found that taking something super heavy
and smashing it into things was incredibly therapeutic.
So, I wanna take you somewhere that you can smash things.
Maybe we'll talk about your postpartum depression
and make sure you're getting the kind of help you need.
- What? - No.
Maddie, listen to me. I don't care if you testify.
I really don't. But I do care if you're... depressed.
I'm a mess. I-I haven't showered in a week.
Perfect. It'll be like old times.
Me and Smelly Patrick.
- Let's go. Come on. - Okay.
Okay, we have caramel corn and chocolate covered pretzels.
Which one do you want?
Uh, both.
Sex makes me hungry.
Hey, dude. It's your mom.
Oh, no. Oh, Sean, no, no, no, no, no.
No, it's good. We're cool. It looks like we've been studying.
Oh, my God, I forgot. I-I-It's taping.
It's been taping. We were taped.
We were taped having sex.
Oh, my God, it just recorded me saying that we had sex!
Hey, guys. Grady leave?
You good? Uh, Auntie Lana's in the car.
I'm just here to get this.
And I am so proud you're getting your work done.
Yay! But don't work too hard.
Take breaks.
Hydrate.
Hey, can you grab my phone?
Yep.
Oh. It's Grady.
I got it.
Hey, Grady. Now's not a good time.
We're in the middle of a thing for the trial
and I don't want to distract Rebel.
Have you caught anything?
I didn't cheat.
We weren't together.
It was back when we split up for a few months.
Oh, boy. She's gonna love to hear that.
After the trial, you can tell her all about it.
Right now, we have the lives of a lot of people in our hands.
- Bye. - But...
He said the fish are really biting.
Oh.
No. No. No.
You're relentless. I said no.
A crime has not been committed.
I'm not going to arrest a man because you asked me to.
Of course you're not, but if you track down his car,
you'll see that he is committing a crime.
Multiple crimes.
Reckless driving, driving while impaired,
speeding, driving a stolen vehicle.
Mm-hmm. Who'd he steal it from?
His husband, who filed a police report.
After you told him to, to force my hand.
Hey, we're doing you a favor.
We're warning you of a menace to the streets.
And offering you a gift basket
with cheeses from around the world.
Well, if you're doing me a favor,
how come you're bringing me a basket?
Sure feels like a bribe.
Blue Prius, 2018. Put the call out.
- Rebel... - Look, your job
is to make the streets safe.
So make them safe.
If this guy ends up killing someone
because of his erratic driving,
you are responsible because I warned you.
And I will tell the world.
You know I will, because I'm... What's the word?
Relentless.
I have every reporter on speed dial.
They love me.
Where do you think the cheese came from?
Gimme the CHP.
2018 Blue Prius traveling south on the 110
from downtown headed towards LAX.
Subpoena. Where is he?
He's on his way in.
They got him swerving on the ramp to LAX.
He was going, like, what?
80 in a 35 mile-per-hour zone.
Which makes me... What's that word?
- A hero. - That's right.
A hero.
Hey, Cruz. Try some cheeses from around the world.
Your guy will be here in about an hour.
Once he's processed and released, you can serve him.
Here. Try this Brie with fig jam.
You're gonna love it.
I had to add him to the witness list.
Oh, yeah. That's good.
Oh, yeah? That means Benji's gonna find out.
Benji? What's he gonna do about it?
The truth is on our side.
What you don't understand about the law is a lot.
They're gonna send me to one of those places for wayward teens,
where these, like, big, burly guys
are gonna come into my house in the middle of the night
and take me away to the woods of New Mexico or Montana,
and they're gonna force me to hike in the hot sun
- and journal my feelings and... - Got it.
Got it? Got what?
- No. Got in. - You got in?
Dude, I told you to chill.
I used to steal computers.
I know how to hack into a home security camera.
Okay, do you know how to erase it?
Well, it's gonna look like we erased it.
I don't care if it looks like we erased it.
We could just say that there was a power outage.
Please, you have to do this
so that I don't have to pee in the New Mexico woods
while some counselor named Jax or Pax or Slax
tells me that I'm worthless.
L-Let me see it.
...taping. We were taped.
We were taped having sex.
Oh, my God, it just recorded me saying that we had sex!
Yeah, before that.
- Before the... to the sex. - Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Delete the sex.
Well, how about telling me if it's true if you have a son
with a woman named Allison Watson?
- Wow. I shouldn't have said that. - What?
Does your dad have a...
No! No, no. Stop it.
Just stop the tape!
So, Misha's whole case is about statistical probability, right?
Which means she's going to hammer at the numbers.
There's a .7% elevated rate of toxins in the urine of patients
with the Stonemore valve, and 1.2% elevated level of...
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know her studies. I know the numbers.
So what's new?
I hope you have something better.
The witness list just got updated.
- Daniel's out. - That's great.
Yes, but they've added a new name... Karsten Vokelberg.
Who's Karsten Vokelberg?
Well, according to the witness list,
he's a chemist who works at Stonemore.
But he's not on any of the company directories
or the company payroll,
so I called Mark Duncan and his secretary says
he's in Zurich and it's the middle of the night, so...
So, I'll call her again and be more persistent this time.
Sounds like a great idea, Luke.
So, that's it? I'm... I'm free to go?
Yep. Your husband paid your bail.
Yeah, he also had me arrested.
You know damn well I didn't steal your car.
I got you a lawyer. My cousin has a friend.
She's on her way over here.
I don't need a lawyer.
Can we please... Yes, you do.
This is a subpoena to appear in court
and testify to everything you know about Stonemore.
If you leave town, that's a felony.
Randall, you have no idea what you have done.
You are going to ruin me.
I have almost got this fixed and...
I'm trying to help you.
Well, you're not! Don't say anything to them.
- And who are you? - Benji Ray. I'm your lawyer.
No, I... I called my cousin's friend.
Is your cousin's friend gonna be able to quash this subpoena
and get to the bottom of this ridiculous circus?
Does your cousin's friend have the deep pockets
it's gonna take to fight the LAPD for wrongful arrest?
He's already been served, Benji.
To fight Julian Cruz for improper service of a subpoena?
Nothing improper about it.
Or to take on Annie Flynn Ray Bello
for slander of your good name?
- I didn't slander anyone. - You will.
And if I know you, you won't stop until everyone but you
has been painted with the brush of corruption.
Well, I've got my own paintbrush,
and I've been authorized by Mark Duncan to offer my services
to the tune of whatever it takes.
Mark Duncan is not your friend.
You don't talk unless I tell you to,
and all I need is the answer to this question...
Would you like me to represent you?
- Karsten. - Babe.
- Yes. - Great.
Nice try. See you in court.
But...
It's what Stonemore and its counsel have done from the beginning.
Mr. Cruz did not even attempt to depose Mr. Vokelberg.
And now he's sandbagged my... Lie, obscure, and -
Counselors.
Ms. Braun, my court reporter, is very good,
but no mortal can transcribe
two people speaking at the same time.
Mr. Cruz, continue.
Your honor, we only discovered Mr. Vokelberg now
because Stonemore scrubbed his name from corporate directories
in order to hide him from us.
This is an outlandish story.
Not your turn, Mr. Ray.
They hid him from us because he has more knowledge
than anybody else about their valve in question.
He created the coating that makes this valve unique.
Fairness demands that the jury hear what he has to say.
Mr. Ray, why does Mr. Vokelberg's name
not appear in any of the corporate directories?
Because he's not a Stonemore employee.
He works for a Stonemore subsidiary
and was not covered by plaintiffs' discovery requests.
Subsidiaries were included, Benji.
Mr. Cruz.
Nonetheless, it sounds to me
that he has knowledge about the valve
that goes to the heart of this case.
Forgive the pun.
Forgiven. And, Your Honor, we disagree.
The only thing his testimony will accomplish
is to expose my client's proprietary information
and trade secrets in open court,
to the benefit of its competitors.
Then, if it pleases the court,
we'd like to request to examine Mr. Vokelberg in camera now.
His testimony could be kept under seal,
and Your Honor can then rule on its relevance.
He's not an expert witness.
He sounds like an expert to me, but let's find out.
Bailiff, please clear and secure the courtroom.
We'll proceed in camera.
Thank you, Your Honor.
Hi.
- Oh, hey. - How's Maddie?
She is a terrible bowler.
Like, brutal.
She got a 95 with no gutters.
You took her bowling?
I did. And, uh, she smiled.
We ate nachos and she agreed to stick to her meds
and join a support group.
And she said she might even testify.
But she's a terrible bowler...
- Hey. - I overcorrected.
Sure, you ghosted me, but you showed yourself
to be decent and kind and the sex is excellent
and I enjoy the conversation, and it occurs to me
that I overcorrected because the man that I dated before you
turned out to be married, which, my bad, I believed his lies,
but I didn't come here to talk about him.
I came here to talk about you. And dinner.
I will have dinner with you if you'd still like to do that.
And by dinner, I mean I will consider being in
a monogamous relationship with you.
You said the other night that's what you wanted,
but then this morning, you said it was because you were drunk
and we both pretended that was true.
You, I assume to save face, and me, because, well,
as I said, I've been overcorrecting.
The next couple nights are bad for me
because I'll be preparing my witness testimony,
but maybe later in the week?
Okay.
Okay, then.
Oh, and when I was little,
I had this blanket that was blue and soft and warm,
and that's what your eyes remind me of.
Mr. Vokelberg, do you understand that you're here to help me
determine whether you have information relevant
to the issues in the case?
This is a private proceeding.
What you say will be kept under seal.
Yes, Your Honor.
Mr. Cruz, you may proceed.
Thank you, Your Honor.
Mr. Vokelberg,
do you know if there is a characteristic
in the Stonemore valve that causes people to be sick?
Yes.
Can you please tell the court what that is?
How many years?
Your anniversary.
How many years?
17.
Hmm. You got me.
I'm at 10.
I may not make it to 18.
There's been a few times in my marriage
I didn't think I was gonna make it.
We managed.
People make it through hard things.
Here, look. That's him.
He's cute.
Oh, you should see Lana's guy.
Lana, come on. Show him a picture of Rick.
- No. - Gimme your phone.
I'm gonna show him.
Hmm. You have a missed call from Grady?
Yeah, h-he didn't want to bother you.
He just wanted you to know he was going to bed early.
Oh.
A mechanical valve that lasted a lifetime
and didn't require the patient to take blood thinners
was the Holy Grail.
The job was to create a coating that was smooth
and would allow blood to pass over it and not erode.
It was my life's work.
Did you succeed?
Did you create this coating?
Uh, I created the coating, but I did not succeed.
Shortly after we began using it,
I realized that it was causing the metal components
of the valve to leach out.
Because the coating wore away?
Because the coating was bonding with the nickel in the valve
on an atomic level.
So now nickel was leaching into the patients' bloodstream.
Can that cause autoimmune disease?
Objection. Lacks foundation.
Overruled. You may answer.
That's the theory.
Nickel is immune-modulating, so...
So, when you discovered that the coating
was causing the nickel to leach
into people's bodies and poisoning them...
did you tell anybody at Stonemore?
Yes.
I told my supervisor, her supervisor,
the Chief Innovation Officer, and everyone on up.
Did you tell Mark Duncan, the CEO of Stonemore Medical?
Objection.
Overruled.
Yes. I told Mark Duncan.
He told me to fix it, but in the meantime, to stay quiet.
I was told not to say anything.
So, that's what I did.
Until now.
Too late, unfortunately, for so many.
I object.
I'm sure you do, Counselor.
I'm sure you do.
No further questions, Your Honor.
Hey.
We reached out to a few medical experts
to see who could refute Karsten Vokelberg's claims.
We should hear something by tomorrow,
and I'll set up an interview.
Thanks.
But does it matter?
Are we gonna settle?
Duncan is on an airplane.

What the chemist was saying about the valve,
how do you know...
I'm just having so many feelings...
There's the word.
What word?
Feelings.
It's a tricky word.
Who do you want me to be right now?
Your boss or your dad?
My dad.
Cass, I think you're a brilliant lawyer,
but I think you're a little lost.
You don't know if you're more Rebel or more me,
and you need to decide.
Okay, now my boss.
There's no room here for feelings.
You need to compartmentalize.
You put those feelings in a box, you put that box on a shelf.
Don't touch that box again
till you've made an appointment with your therapist
for after the trial.
Until then, you're a defense attorney.
And your job is to, yes, provide the robust defense
that everyone is entitled to, but also to remember
the reason everyone's entitled to that defense.
Because when we administer that defense to the ones at the top,
the ones at the bottom will have the same right
to that robust defense.
Thank you.
You're welcome.

Mark my words, they'll be calling within the hour.
They're done and they know it, and I'm gonna make them pay.
And then... Then I'm gonna celebrate.
Bird-watching trip?
Several. And you?
Lana's going to Carmel with her boyfriend
and I am going to Mexico with Grady.
What's with the face?
There's no face. What do you think, Cruz?
Should Lana go to Carmel with her boyfriend, Rick?
Uh, let's stay out of my sex life.
Great idea.
Oh, is that Benji?
- Telemarketer, not Benji. - Hmm.
And for the record, I didn't want to go to Carmel with Rick
because he didn't ask me where I wanted to go.
He told me where he wanted to go.
Everything is on his terms. It's a red flag, which I saw.
Doesn't mean Rick is cancelled, just means I took note.
I noticed. Something you should do more of.
What are you talking about?
Do you have something to tell me?
Because if you do, you should just tell me.
Hey, um, is Ziggy here?
No. Isn't she at home?
No. She took off and she told me not to follow her,
and she's not answering her phone, and...
s-something happened.
What happened?
I don't know if I should tell you.
Of course you should tell me.
It's about her dad. She heard a rumor.
A rumor?
Yeah, I-I don't think I'm supposed to tell you.
You definitely are not supposed to tell her.
Tell me what?!
Cass!
I have pizza and beer.
I saw your car outside. I know you're here.
Don't pretend like you're sleeping.
Oh, hey, you're not Cass.
No. Uh, hello. And... goodbye.
Huh. Pizza?
I'll have some.
Mm. Bet you will.
Don't judge me.
I wanted sex, I had sex, that's it.
We're like you and Misha.
Turns out,
me and Misha aren't like me and Misha anymore.
We are... monogamous.
- Since when? - Since today.
This is what monogamy looks like, baby.
- Looks good on me, right? - No, I'm freaking out.
I'm going to bed.
Is that her?
I hope so.
Unless it's your sex toy coming back for more.
We have another sibling.
Yeah, uh, well, actually, I do.
My dad had a kid with a woman named Allison,
so I actually don't know what that makes him to you.
I think it's like a step-sibling?
I don't know. I can't deal with this right now.
I want to get high, except I don't actually want to get high,
so I came here.
Can I sleep over?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Oh.
There's a condom wrapper on your nightstand.
Nate, have you had sex in your bed recently?
No, I have not.
Great.
This is Mom. She keeps calling.
Can you just tell her I'm okay?
I don't want to talk about it.
Yeah.
Hey, Mom?
Grady!
Grady?
Grady!
Oh.
♪ For my money Grady!
You have a son?!
How could you?!
I... Let's talk about this.
- No, no, no, no. - It is too late for talking.
Because you have a son that you never told me about.
Because you had him when we were married!
Because you are a lying dirtbag!
Yes, I did, but...
When we took Ziggy to Disneyland
and we rode on those tea cups 10 times in a row,
that was a lie!
Because you have a son!
- Please, just... - And when we went to Mexico
and we stayed in bed for three days because there was a monsoon
but we didn't care because we had each other?
That was a lie, too! Because you have a son!
Rebel!
And for 10 years, Grady,
I have been a wife and a mother, but that was a lie.
A lie! Son!
Back when we separated,
y-you brought home a kid without telling me.
Oh, you mean our daughter?
Yeah. Okay, but it worked out, but back then...
Oh, so you were mad when I brought home Ziggy,
so you went and had a baby with someone else?
No! I-I wa... I was confused and...
Oh, you were confused, so you had a baby with someone else?
Are you gonna listen to me or what?
Are you gonna continue to lie?
Because that is what you do.
You lie and I look the other way
and I... and I feel sorry for you
because it must be so hard to live with someone
who's working all the time.
I make your weakness my problem!
Well, I'm not gonna stand here and be yelled at by you.
Are you lying to the kid, too?
Does he even know you exist?
No. Okay?
He doesn't. I...
I-I pay child support every month because I'm a decent guy.
How? You don't make any money!
- I repair cars, Rebel. - Oh, yeah.
Barely. You barely repair cars.
You barely work.
Well, I raised Ziggy! I did, not you.
Oh, and apparently, I raised your love child with my money!
Oh, yeah, there it is.
Always about the money with you.
Money, money, money!
I-I'm sick of it, and I'm sick of you.
Get off the boat. I'm leaving.
Hey, no. I'm not going anywhere.
We are talking.
We're not talking. You're yelling. Go!
Grady! Grady!
Ah! Aah!
Ugh! Grady!
Ah!
Grady, you sonofadick!
Wah! Oh!
Ugh, I can't believe that you're driving away!
Grady!
It's freezing!
Oh, Grady!
Oh, that's a good one.
Benji?
Do I have a comment?
