Episode 2

Well, after we sign Keas tomorrow,
it'll be a whole new ball game.
- We'll be expanding, right?
- That's right.
This was supposed to be part-time.
I'm up to 60 hours a week.
It's temporary, I promise.
We can talk about this.
Evelyn, stop.
Evelyn, where
State the reason for the trip.
To win back my girlfriend.
Your request has been accepted.
Oh.
- Philip Grimmer?
- Yeah?
Hey! Hey!
Let go of me! Ugh!
Well, after we sign Keas tomorrow,
it'll be a whole new ball game.
Uh, why don't I handle
the documents, actually?
- Where's your presentation?
We need to print it.
Our apologies, we had
a technical glitch.
Are you pregnant?
- To family.
- To family.
To family.
You've been drinking?
- Pack up, guys.
- I'll do this myself!
You're not helping by
protecting him like this!
I'm gonna take care of everything!

In the sky your helicopters ♪
Keep coming around like buzzing bees ♪

Keep on trying to outwrestle me ♪
But I can't tell you think ♪
It's all going to hell ♪
I think I try to be in the moment,
to be grateful for each
experience as it's happening.
That's my problem.
I'm always trying to be
somewhere other than where I am.
It's like the life that I want is just
always out of reach.
Even now?
No.
Now it's the opposite.
(CHUCKLING)
- I don't want this to end
- Mmm!
ever.
It's so beautiful.
I feel guilty. (CHUCKLING)
Guilty? Why?
My parents could never
afford a vacation,
or even a plane ticket.
Maybe that's why you crave adventure.
You were gonna move to
Prague when I met you.
Well, I didn't make it, did I?
No, you ended up with
a consolation prize.
- Oh yeah!
- Mm-hmm!
That's right! That's what you are.
- Yeah, a pretty good one, too.
- (GIGGLING)
- Let's miss our flight.
- (CHUCKLING)
Live here and get married.
Married?
(CHUCKLING)
I know, I don't believe in
the whole marriage thing.
(CHUCKLING)
But when I was a kid,
I liked the fairytale.
Someone getting down on his knee,
expressing his undying love,
and promising to be with you forever.
I guess I believe in proposals.
Well, I promise to be with you
forever.
Even when I'm old and wrinkly?
Come on, you'll always be gorgeous.
Fat?
I'd pay for the lipo.
(CHUCKLING)
Even when I'm wearing a diaper?
OK, that's enough. Stop!

-
- OK, we're almost there.
One more step.
And
open your eyes.
Phil
- wait, is it?
- Yeah, it's your old cello.
- (EXHALING SHARPLY)
- I tracked it down
and told the guy that we needed it,
no matter the cost.
(CHUCKLING)
But you said we couldn't afford
I want you to play music, Ev.
- What?
- I'm just surprised.
We can have it all.
You can play music.
We can start a family.
All of it.
Phil
I think a baby is too much right now.
I need you to let me prove to
you that you can trust us, Ev.
All I'm asking for is a week.
One week. OK?
Is that a yes?
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
What's the holdup, guys? Come on.
Let's go. Let's go!
(CLAPPING)
He doesn't want to go to school.
The kids tease him.
(SIGHING)
Oh, wait.
Oh my God!
Is there is there
fur growing in there?
Eww!
- Not true, there's nothing!
- Gross!
Get me a razor. I gotta cut his ear off.
Buddy, you don't like your new school?
You want to go back to the old one?
OK, just
give me a week to
sort it out, all right?
All right, get ready.
Pat!
Patrick, what are you doing?
We're supposed to be cutting back.
- We can't afford private school.
- Well, our kids deserve the best.
The Landry family-loser-
tradition ends with me.
OK, come on, buddy. Hop on.
Go.
I appreciate this.
Ah, you helped me avoid that lawsuit
and gave me a good carpenter.
- It's a win-win.
- So he's working out?
- So far, so good.
- That's good to hear.
Bye.
Hey.
Mmm add another hundred.
Why?
Sobriety is the main condition
of you seeing your daughter.
Your wife just saw you shitfaced.
- Add another hundred!
- OK.
I can't afford to do this every time.
You're making twice as
much as you were before.
Yeah, because you were cheap, bro.
See? It's working out for everyone.
Thank you for this.
I don't know where I'd be without you.
Sure you do, you'd be
living on the street.
Oh shit!
Uh, could you slip
these to my baby girl?
For her birthday.
- Sure.
- Thanks.
- Have a good one.
- See you.
- He can't buy me off.
- Of course he can't.
He wanted to increase the payments,
- make sure you were comfortable.
- He's an addict.
I can't let him be around our daughter.
Look
I've never seen him like
this, Miriam. I mean, he's
he's focused.
You gotta give him a second chance.
That's a lot of second chances.
But the most important thing
is that you not tell anybody
about what you saw the other day.
Is Daddy OK?
Oh, he's fine, sweetie.
Hey, happy birthday
to my favourite niece!
- I'm your only niece.
- Oh, right! I forgot.
Uh, I found these.
Do they belong to you?
Mom, look!
(CHUCKLING)
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Those are from your dad, OK?
So, with this action plan
and our unparalleled
client-first commitment,
we believe our firm
is uniquely qualified
to ensure that this
mining project of yours
is both smooth and successful.
And I want to add a big thank you
for this opportunity. We're, um,
we're hungry and motivated.
That was a top-notch pitch.
Well, that's great! We have a deal?
Yes, we have a deal
if you hire an attorney
dedicated only to our dossier,
someone we approve.
And they have to be A-list.
We'll find you the best.
Absolutely.
Well, thank you for coming
all the way down here.
Oh, let me introduce you to
our paralegal, Evelyn Landry.
Talented and meticulous.
We look forward to working with you.
(ELEVATOR CHIMING)
I'm not working on Keas.
We agreed.
Uh, yes, we did.
And a deal's a deal.
Good.
We'll have to find a replacement,
and then have you train them.
Phil, I know how this goes.
The client gets used to a team,
and then it gets harder
to bring on new people.
Ev, Ev, hey.
Just keep the faith,
OK? I'm all over it.
You'd better be.
Look, you've been putting in
overtime prepping for Keas.
Why don't you leave for the day?
You want me to leave now?
Sure. Yeah, get out of here.
- OK.
- OK.
(CHUCKLING)
(CELLO ♪)
- Um
- No, don't stop.
- That was beautiful.
- I was just practicing.
- I was finished.
- Ev, please, play.
You won't laugh or criticize or
No.
No, I'll just listen.
OK.
- (PHONE RINGING)
- Oh my God!
Sorry! It's your brother.
- Hey, what's going on?
- Are you available right now?
- I caught us a big finish.
- What? Where?
Just meet me at 132 McGuire.
Ev, I'm so sorry.
Um, can we do this when I get back? OK.
- OK
- (KEYS CLANGING)
I'm on my way.
(DOOR OPENING, CLOSING)
So, what are we doing here?
We need a top lawyer to seal
the deal with Keas, right?
- Yes.
- Someone impressive.
Someone everybody wants.
The biggest, baddest lawyer.
- All yeses.
- Well, I found her.
Now you need to win her
over. I hear she's a fan.
Great, who is it?
Miranda Delano.
Come on, man!
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
Apologies, my daughter
is going through a phase.
She wants to stay up late.
She's testing me.
- Kids will do that.
- Yeah.
Do you have any?
Uh, no. No, not yet.
Well, when I was going
through my divorce,
I just felt so guilty all the time
that I kept on giving into her. And
if I could do it all over again,
I would have done it very differently.
Hmm. What we wouldn't
do for our kids, right?
Yeah.
I I believe you two
are, um, already acquainted?
Yes, Mr. Grimmer gave me one
of my very rare court losses.
(PAT CHUCKLING)
Well, you can't win them all.
I do, usually.
Hmm.
Still
I wonder what I could have
done to bring you to your knees.
It was touch and go there for a while.
Hmm, good to know that I had a shot.
Well, the past is the past.
No sense in revisiting it.
(GLASS THUDDING)
- All right, uh, I'll cut to the chase.
- Mm-hmm.
You're exiting a firm, and,
uh, we want you on our team.
Oh, that's bold!
You're a boutique.
It's impressive you
landed the Keas contract.
Well, we know you're
coming from the largest,
most prestigious firm in the city,
which I'm sure came with
an equal dose of bullshit.
But with us, you'd be able
to write your own ticket,
make your own rules.
If this offer is genuine
I'm available.
(CHUCKLING)
Yep.
It is.
- You OK, man?
- Yep, I am.
- 'Cause you felt a little off in there.
- It's all good.
Yeah, I'd say it's all great.
Great.

Oh, vierge !
Can you get that, please?
Wait, I
Pat, did you hire a new
Mr. Landry just gave me the good news.
That we're signing Miranda Delano.
Well, there are other attorneys
that we're considering, so
We're happy with Ms. Delano.
Only the best for our favourite client.
That's what we love to hear.
Yes.
Let's get the ball rolling.
Yeah, we have to act fast.
There's two holdouts who
refuse to sell their property
which is significantly
delaying our first phase.
You can use your powers of persuasion.
- Great.
- We're on it.
Good.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Listen, about Delano,
I think we need to
explore other options,
you know, due diligence.
Why? We love her. They
love her. She loves us.
Done deal.
It's just, she'll have
the upper hand negotiating.
She'll be able to squeeze us.
What happened between you and Delano?
Nothing. Seriously, we get along fine.
- It's
- How fine?
I didn't sleep with her, Pat.
Oh, well, then case closed. Moving on.
Lose the tie and jacket.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
Wouldn't this mine be
bad for the environment?
Oh, the impact would be minimal.
And there will be public
hearings explaining
everything and to answer
any and all concerns.
Hmm.
It's a nice place you've got.
But it's a big one to
maintain by yourself.
(SIGHING) My Jerry would be livid
if he saw the condition of the lawn.
- I can't keep up!
- You could afford a condo.
And the grounds would
be maintained by staff.
I'm sure your Jerry would be happier
to know you're being looked after.
With this money, you'd be set for life.
How much is it?
Beautiful.
You're not in top shape
after so many years.
Maybe it's too late.
How badly do you want this audition?
More than anything.
You'll have to commit to a
lot of extra practice time.
And stop second-guessing
and doubting yourself.
Can you do that?
Yes.
(PHONE VIBRATING)
Oh, sorry.
- Yeah?
- Ev, where have you been?
I've tried you, like, 50 times.
I'm at my lesson.
I told you, remember?
Oh, right.
Yeah, sorry.
Uh, listen, we need you
to make some adjustments
to Mrs. Raymond's contract
and get it emailed over right away.
OK, I'll do it in an hour.
No, no. No, I need
Uh, I mean, yeah, great.
That's, uh, that's great. Thanks.
(SIGHING)
Really sorry.
- You can name your price.
- Fuck you, esti !
- He'll change his mind.
They all eventually do.
Yeah, it kind of seems
to me like this deal is
a long way from being inked.
Negotiation 101, Philip,
we just have to find a
way into this man's heart.
OK, OK. We do everything
above board, right?
Yeah, absolutely. If there
is a board, we're above it.
- Trust me.
- Sure.
I've been thinking about a trip.
- Oh yeah?
- Mm-hmm.
Well, I'm I'm pretty busy
with work right now, but, um
but you should go.
Yeah, have fun.
Hmm.
So, uh, how come no
woman has snapped you up?
It's, uh, it's a mystery.
(CHUCKLING)
Well, I might just have
to fall in love with you.
Weren't you thinking of leaving him?
Things have been good lately.
He's really trying. He is.
And what about you?
Your music?
I mean, Ev, you gave up
your life for this guy.
I didn't give up my life. I chose Phil.
I chose love.
I haven't made up my mind.
Some days it's a yes,
some days it's a

OK, so how about I drink
enough for the two of us?
- You would have anyway.
- Still.

Thank you.

One of the hottest dry seasons.
October is the coolest wet season
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Late practice?
- I went out.
Could have called.
I was with Naomi.
Is that OK?
Yeah, of course.
How is she?
She's getting ready for the tour.
You made any decision about the baby?
'Cause we're getting to the point where
we're gonna have to
make plans either way.
I don't want to get into this now.
I'm beat.
Sure.
Yeah, of course.
(MAN ON TV TALKING INDISTINCTLY)
(FOOTSTEPS RETREATING)
Huh?
You do understand the urgency
of acquiring these properties?
Well, we already signed Raymond
and we're confident
Gervais will sign this week.
Yeah, on, um, Mrs. Raymond's contract,
the purchaser is drafted
as, "Keas International,"
IT SHOULD BE: "Keas Canada."
If our team hadn't caught the error,
it could have nullified
the whole acquisition.
We expect higher standards.
It's an inexcusable oversight.
- Yeah, uh, that's right.
We'll correct it in an addendum.
Evelyn made one drafting error.
They're blowing it out of proportion.
It's your job to check
and re-check her work.
- We looked like amateurs.
- I'll fix it.
Fix Evelyn too. It was
your idea to hire her.
- OK, I'll talk to her.
- We're late for Delano.
What?
I invited her to the office
to talk over an offer.
Now?
- Yeah.
- Jesus!
- Oh shit!
- I wanted to introduce myself, Miranda Delano.
- It's a pleasure to meet you.
- Yeah, finally.
- Ms. Delano, hi.
- Yes.
I see you've met our
firm's paralegal, Evelyn.
And, uh, my partner in life.
Well, I look forward
to working with you.
On what?
I will be taking over for the Keas file.
Yes.
Well, that's news.
- Well, congratulations.
- Thank you.
Oh, Phil, can you take
Miranda to the conference room?
I'll grab some files and
be with you in a minute.
Great.
Um, Evelyn, can you bring us waters?
Is she your wife ?
Yeah. No.
No, um
girlfriend.
Yeah.
What's going on?
(INHALING DEEPLY)
(EXHALING SHARPLY)
We just haven't seen each other since
And we're adults and professionals.
OK. Good.
'Cause this is purely a work offer.
This offer appeals to me
because it would allow me
more time with my daughter.
We good?
- Yeah. Yeah, we're good.
- Great.
Here is the business valuation
and an overview of the capital structure
so you have a better idea
of what you're getting into.
Thank you.
- Can we talk?
- We're at work.
Right
I had to write an addendum on
the Raymond contract. You
you put the wrong Keas division.
Did I?
- Yeah.
- I'm sorry, it won't happen again.
Ev, you have to be more careful.
- These people
- You got it, boss.
(ELEVATOR CHIMING)
Evelyn!
Evelyn, wait up!
State the reason for the trip.
To stop the hiring of Miranda Delano.
The system could not
register your answer.
- Please try again.
- Change a professional decision.
"Change", "professional"
and "decision" have been accepted.
Good. Thank you.
Using the keypad,
enter the desired date of the trip.
We're sorry, due to insufficient funds,
we are unable to process
your request at this time.
- Wait, hey, what
- Please try again later.

(PHILIP SIGHING, SCOFFING)
- It's seven thousand.
- Already this month,
- you took out a $10,000 loan.
- Renovations.
- Five thousand after that.
- Evelyn's cello.
You realize when the
Keas contract comes in,
your bonus will go to
paying all this back?
How about we take it
out of my dividends?
Sure, you can have your fair share
- of this quarter's profits.
- OK, great. Yeah, let's do that.
Let's do that. OK, well,
uh, 50% of zero is zero.
The Keas cheques better
start rolling in soon.
You and your partner are
taking out way more money
- than you have coming in.

- No, you're almost there.
- Hi.
- Just a second.
Surprise!
Thought maybe we could get dinner, talk?
Yeah, what do you want to
talk about? Miranda Delano?
Why did you hire that woman?
I had no choice, OK? Keas wanted her.
Out of all the lawyers in Montreal?
- And you kept it from me.
- Pat went off and did it all on his own.
- You know how your brother is.
- Anyone but her.
Nothing happened.
(SCOFFING)
"You're the type of
woman I fall hard for."
That's something.
- Did you love her?
- It was one stupid text, Ev
- Oh, so you didn't love her.
You just wanted to fuck her?
Stop!
It never got physical.
They were just words. That's all.
What about when you say you love me?
I mean it when I tell you that.
- And I can believe that?
- Ev, God
She meant nothing to me, Ev!
You are gonna be the mother of my child!
We don't know about that, yet.
- Why are you sabotaging this?
- What do you mean?
You know what I mean. You
stay out all night with Naomi.
You go drinking. You don't give a fuck!
I don't even know if
this baby is still there.
Oh, yes, it's still
here. But I'm here too!
- Phil, you don't give a shit about me.
- Give me a break.
You don't give a shit about us!
I gave up my career to
become your paralegal.
Great, a paralegal that can't
even do contracts properly.
Hé, va chier !
You know, I didn't ask
you to give up anything!
You knew that a musician's
salary wasn't gonna pay
for our mortgage or renovations
or your student debt.
So you made a choice.
Now, you want to go back
and live out your dreams, fine.
But let's both be honest,
I'm gonna be paying for it.
And that's what you care about?

Andy, why?
Because I don't want to

I am done helping you clean up

Actually, I'm the one
cleaning up my shit.
OK, you know what? I

- Not until I fix this puppy.
You're hiding from Miriam

Deniability. Evelyn cannot see you here.

No, I just I want to be honest.

Sorry to interrupt. Um,

How much is Keas offering?
Well, uh,
more than Mrs. Raymond next door.
Two hundred and seventy-five thousand.
You hired her to work her
father and you didn't tell me?
Well, you might have stopped me.
I didn't know where
this fit on the board,
- above or below or
- Oh, below. Definitely below.
You're using her.
She got a job out of this.
Yeah, a job she's terrible at.
Don't act all high and mighty with me.

Well, I need the money.

She's pregnant.
Wow! Um,
- congrats.

It's a mess.
OK.
OK, you can go on vacation.

Yeah, about Miranda, um
had to rescind her offer this morning.

Look, it's complicated.
Evelyn's jealous, and I

a woman like that would be into me.
That hurts.
I'm sorry.
Can we just hit the reset button?
Start over?
Yeah, I'd like to change a few things.
And what would you change?
You remember when I met
your mom for the first time?
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
I was so nervous, I drank
too much and I puked all over.
(LAUGHING)
Yeah, you left a lasting
impression on the carpet.
- Yeah, I'd like a do-over on that.
- Sure.
- Sure.

But what about the burp?
You'll have to be more specific.

Sorry to interrupt. Um,
my brother Andy here is an alcoholic.
And he has to stay sober
in order to maintain
visitation rights with his daughter.
So, he's too proud to ask,
but if you could, please,
not give him a drink at the end
of the day, that would be great.
Thank you.
Have a good day.

(DOORBELL RINGING)
Hi. A man comes this
early, I expect some coffee.
(CHUCKLING)
- Come in.
- I wasn't completely honest.
We're not good.
There's a problem with
you joing the firm,
it's not gonna work.
(SCOFFING)
That's another first.
Just full of surprises.
Yeah.
Well, I'm sorry, but, uh,
we're withdrawing the offer.
(SCOFFING)
I hope you two will
be very happy together.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- We, uh, we need to talk.
- After.
- No, this needs to happen now.
- Redemption first.
- We need to curry favour with Keas.
- Pat
(SIGHING)
How much is Keas offering?
Well, uh,
more than Mrs. Raymond next door.
Two hundred and seventy-five thousand.
You hired her to work her
father and you didn't tell me?
Well, you might have stopped me.
I didn't know where
this fit on the board,
- above or below or
- Oh, below. Definitely below.
You're using her.
She got a job out of this.
Yeah, a job she's terrible at.
Don't act all high and mighty with me.
You didn't offer him the full 300 K.
Well, I need the money.
- I'm taking your sister away.
- Oh.
She's pregnant.
Wow! Um,
- congrats.
- No, I don't deserve that.
I'm fucking it all up.
It's a mess.
OK.
OK, you can go on vacation.
I'll just ask Miranda to
start a few days earlier.
Yeah, about Miranda, um
had to rescind her offer this morning.
I'm sorry, you you did what?
Look, it's complicated.
Evelyn's jealous, and I
It doesn't matter.
- Just, Miranda's out.
- But, Keas
You're trying to ruin us.
Do you have any idea the
things I've done for this firm?
- Pat, come on.
- Fuck you, Phil. Fuck you!
I'll find a way to make it work!
(DOOR CLOSING)
(DOOR OPENING)
Miranda is over.
You're never gonna have to
hear her name or see her again.
(SIGHING)
What happened?
Uh
she hit on me.
And I should have put
a stop to it, I just
I don't know. I couldn't believe
a woman like that would be into me.
That hurts.
I'm sorry.
Can we just hit the reset button?
Start over?
Yeah, I'd like to change a few things.
And what would you change?
You remember when I met
your mom for the first time?
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
I was so nervous, I drank
too much and I puked all over.
(LAUGHING)
Yeah, you left a lasting
impression on the carpet.
- Yeah, I'd like a do-over on that.
- Sure.
- Sure.
- (CHUCKLING)
But what about the burp?
You'll have to be more specific.
(LAUGHING)
The burp.
Ah, the super romantic burp.
(BURPING) "I think I'm
falling in love with you."
Let's get rid of that one.
(LAUGHING)
I want to have a baby with you, Ev.
The house is almost done.
You're playing music again.
You play the cello. I'll
do all the dirty diapers,
stay up all nights.
You sleep. I don't know.
We'll figure it out
together like we always do.
- You'll pump your breasts too?
- Sure.
Yeah, if there's a way, I will.
What do you say?
Start a family?
Yes.
Yes?
Yes.
Yes.

(PHONE RINGING)
Hey, Mom. What's up?
Andy?
(PHONE RINGING)
Hey, it's Andy.
- Leave a message.
- (PHONE BEEPING)
Andy, I'm sorry.
I I didn't mean to embarass you.
Just call me back, OK? Please?
Mom's worried.
I'm worried.
OK.
(LINE RINGING)
- OK, tell me.
- Hey, he's not here.
But he'll show up. He always does.
Go find him. You know his haunts.
No, Mom, you know I can't.
I'm leaving on a trip today.
Philip, you cannot
abandon your brother now.
He needs you.
He'll show up.
- I gotta go.
- No, that's
(PHONE BEEPING)
(PHONE RINGING)
- Oh, give me a second?
- Yeah.
Pat, I'm gone one week. You got this.
Well, can't you push a week?
We're at the airport.
What can't you handle?
It's Sandra, that Keas exec.
It's just it's a tricky situation.
How about you take the
lead on Keas instead of me?
You want some advice?
Break it off with her
and come clean with Eric.
Save yourself a world of hurt later.
Well, there there's
also the Julie thing.
You're right, she is
a shitty receptionist.
(SIGHING) Can you fire her?
Pat, the plane boards in an hour.
You owe me for Miranda Delano.
OK, I'll see you in a week.
- Fresh start!
- Clean slate!
Fresh start.
(GIGGLING)
Clean slate.
Fresh start.

(BIRDS CALLING)
(WAVES CRASHING)
Evelyn?
I should have done this years ago.
Now, I, uh
practiced what I want to
say over and over again
- in my head, but
- Phil
let me speak first.
I need you to know that
when I think about my life
I only see myself with you.
That's good.
But I've never felt good enough for you.
What are you saying?
- Do you not want to get married?
- Yes!
Of course I do.
I do but I'm scared that I will
always feel too small to you.
Not enough.
Not enough? Ev
you are more than
enough. You're everything!
You know what hurt me most about
the whole Delano situation
was listening to the
way you talked about her.
How impressive she is, how exceptional.
- Not me.
- Ev
I love you!
But you admired her.
But I want you.
Yeah, but you also wanted
to prove to yourself
that you could get her.
What is this about?
What is going on?
When I first found your
texts, I was so angry, I
What?
What? Say it!
I cheated on you, Phil.
I slept with someone.
Phil, it meant nothing!
- I was so angry. It just happened!
- Stop!
Congratulations, Ev. You won.
You went further than I did.
I needed to be honest with you.
I'm telling you this
because I want to spend
my life with you, Phil!
Phil, I love you!
