Family Law s04e06 Corporate Retreat Subtitles

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,Previously on Family Law.

00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,So walk me through what you think this
merger might look like.

00:00:05,780 --> 00:00:07,It sounds like we might be working
together soon, too.

00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,I can't believe you g***t your one -night
stand pregnant. If you and I are going

00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:13,to co -parent this child, we need to get
along.

00:00:13,780 --> 00:00:14,I take your point.

00:00:14,740 --> 00:00:16,Do you want to go out sometime this
week? Get to know each other?

00:00:17,180 --> 00:00:19,Unromantically? Of course you felt the
need to have that.

00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:20,Fine. Let's hang out.

00:00:22,140 --> 00:00:26,So, I heard the silliest gossip.
Something about a merger between us and

00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:27,Peterson?

00:00:27,390 --> 00:00:30,What's your nonsense? Harry wouldn't
keep something like that from me. He

00:00:30,590 --> 00:00:31,have told me straight away, right?

00:00:33,030 --> 00:00:39,I can't believe you told her.

00:00:39,970 --> 00:00:43,I didn't tell her. Suzette from
Peterson's firm told Pearl from Vazirian

00:00:43,890 --> 00:00:47,and Pearl told Jerry. So, way to keep
the news under wraps.

00:01:02,380 --> 00:01:06,You were next in line, to be told. I was
simply waiting until I knew it was a

00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:07,sure thing.

00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:08,Cat's out of the bag, Harry.

00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,You need to deal with it pronto.

00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,Danny, my honor.

00:01:17,740 --> 00:01:22,It has come to my attention that rumors
are starting to circulate, so we wanted

00:01:22,740 --> 00:01:24,you to hear the news from us first.

00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,We have signed a memorandum of
understanding with Marcus Peterson's

00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,A merger.

00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:36,Did you know about this?

00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,No thanks to anyone in this office. This
is a good news story. We will all

00:01:41,580 --> 00:01:45,benefit from our combined strengths,
expertise, and resources.

00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,Are there any questions?

00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,How will we fit more people?

00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:51,Will we have to move?

00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,Will there be layoffs? Who gets to keep
the file if there's a client conflict?

00:01:55,540 --> 00:01:57,I'll let my partner field these
questions.

00:01:58,840 --> 00:01:59,Will we have to share assistance?

00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:04,Will we have to pay mediations back?
Okay, one at a time, please. When will

00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:05,take effect?

00:02:06,460 --> 00:02:09,A merger, Dad?

00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:11,Why?

00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:14,At some point, I'll have to step back.

00:02:15,540 --> 00:02:17,I want to make sure my legacy survives.

00:02:17,900 --> 00:02:19,Is that why you made Daniel partner?

00:02:20,020 --> 00:02:23,Your brother is a good lawyer, but he
needs time to grow as a leader.

00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,What about Abby? She's an excellent
lawyer, but she's also impulsive and

00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:29,stubborn. And she's an alcoholic.

00:02:30,090 --> 00:02:31,You can't hold that against her forever,
Dad.

00:02:32,530 --> 00:02:36,Her video is still one of the first
items that pops up in a Google search.

00:02:37,370 --> 00:02:41,I'm doing the best I can to protect my
children, and that includes you.

00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:46,So, does that mean I get to keep my
office?

00:02:48,430 --> 00:02:50,I'll make sure of it, Lucy Goosey.

00:02:59,050 --> 00:03:02,A heads up would have been nice. We only
found out about the leak this morning.

00:03:02,330 --> 00:03:04,And someone from your firm leaked it.

00:03:04,730 --> 00:03:06,I'll make a formal announcement later
today.

00:03:08,070 --> 00:03:09,How'd your people take it? Not well.

00:03:10,010 --> 00:03:12,I walked by Rebecca's desk. She was
already on LinkedIn.

00:03:12,610 --> 00:03:15,We need to find a way to reassure people
before the legal recruiter starts

00:03:15,990 --> 00:03:16,swarming.

00:03:19,470 --> 00:03:20,What if we hold a corporate retreat?

00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:22,Oh, hear me out.

00:03:22,810 --> 00:03:25,A buddy of mine at McMillan Russell,
Yannick Kroll. Yannick.

00:03:26,170 --> 00:03:29,His firm takes everyone to Mexico for an
all -inclusive retreat each year. He

00:03:29,170 --> 00:03:30,says it's a great bonding experience.

00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:34,And a costly experience. Doesn't have to
be. You could do something local, but

00:03:34,230 --> 00:03:35,high -end.

00:03:35,430 --> 00:03:36,I like it.

00:03:36,650 --> 00:03:39,Give the staff a chance to get to know
each other in a stress -free

00:03:40,490 --> 00:03:41,Exactly.

00:03:41,690 --> 00:03:44,Hmm. It appears the Ides have it, Harry.

00:03:46,650 --> 00:03:48,I'll start exploring venue options.

00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,You g***t nothing legit, uh -oh.

00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,The gloves don't fit, uh -oh.

00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,You g***t to acquit, uh -oh.

00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,The charges won't stick, because I ain't
no sucker. Ain't your life living far,

00:04:05,940 --> 00:04:11,but you can kiss my sweet, uh -huh.
Never gonna stop, never gonna stop,

00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,gonna stop, never gonna stop. Can't
prove it, uh -oh.

00:04:16,110 --> 00:04:17,I thought we were soulmates.

00:04:17,529 --> 00:04:21,Then, on our 10 -year anniversary, he
announces that his soulmate is our

00:04:21,470 --> 00:04:23,vacuous, surgically enhanced dog walker.

00:04:24,610 --> 00:04:27,He didn't want an equal. He wanted a
pinup model.

00:04:27,490 --> 00:04:29,How ** I supposed to face him this
afternoon?

00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:33,That's why we're having this preliminary
meeting, so you can vent all you want.

00:04:34,570 --> 00:04:37,What's your end goal, Ingrid? To make
Keith's life a living hell.

00:04:37,630 --> 00:04:40,Every second of every day for the rest
of his life.

00:04:40,850 --> 00:04:42,I understand the sentiment.

00:04:44,220 --> 00:04:46,But you have children, right?

00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,JC and Jonah, seven and five.

00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:55,And trust me when I say being vindictive
isn't going to help you or your kids.

00:04:55,460 --> 00:04:56,But he's the one that blew up our
marriage.

00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,Adultery means nothing in the eyes of
the law.

00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:02,He's a still the father of your
children.

00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:06,You can drag this out for months, even
years.

00:05:07,060 --> 00:05:11,And in the end, you are the one who
suffers the most. You, your kids.

00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,And your bank account.

00:05:13,260 --> 00:05:15,So you suggest I just roll over? No,
absolutely not.

00:05:17,020 --> 00:05:22,I suggest taking the high road. Act like
none of this fazes you.

00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,Trust me, it'll drive you crazy.

00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,See you this afternoon.

00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,Everybody in the conference area, I have
an announcement.

00:05:40,430 --> 00:05:43,Uh, you might want to book an MRI. You
made the announcement an hour ago.

00:05:43,890 --> 00:05:44,Different announcements.

00:05:45,810 --> 00:05:48,This one is entirely his.

00:05:50,810 --> 00:05:54,I have more exciting news to share. The
merger's off?

00:05:54,650 --> 00:05:59,Our firms are going on a joint corporate
retreat this weekend.

00:06:02,030 --> 00:06:07,We'll play games, do team -building
exercises, we'll eat well. I promise

00:06:07,650 --> 00:06:08,be a lot of fun. Sounds amazing!

00:06:11,690 --> 00:06:13,Yeah. I can't make it. Why?

00:06:13,990 --> 00:06:15,What are you doing? Absolutely nothing.

00:06:15,810 --> 00:06:16,Attendance is mandatory.

00:06:16,930 --> 00:06:19,Where are we going? As soon as I nail
that down, I will send out the

00:06:19,710 --> 00:06:20,particulars. All right.

00:06:21,110 --> 00:06:22,Back to work.

00:06:25,090 --> 00:06:26,Hey,

00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:30,let's, me and you, organize a boycott.

00:06:30,770 --> 00:06:34,Eleanor's blowhard brother and simpering
wife are visiting me this weekend.

00:06:35,490 --> 00:06:40,I can't believe I'm saying this, but
this retreat is a gift from the gods.

00:06:44,530 --> 00:06:46,Have fun at your retreat.

00:06:46,690 --> 00:06:50,Shut up. While you're doing icebreakers
and truss balls, I'll be partying at

00:06:50,590 --> 00:06:51,Velvet. Ah, Lucy.

00:06:52,590 --> 00:06:55,I'd like you to attend the retreat, too.

00:06:55,470 --> 00:06:56,Me? Why?

00:06:56,850 --> 00:07:00,Marcus needs to see that even though you
operate independently, you're an asset

00:07:00,510 --> 00:07:01,to the firm.

00:07:01,690 --> 00:07:03,Always helps to put a face to a name.

00:07:07,750 --> 00:07:10,I may or may not catch you.

00:07:10,780 --> 00:07:11,The trust falls.

00:07:20,220 --> 00:07:21,Mr.

00:07:25,140 --> 00:07:26,Peterson, wonderful to see you.

00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,Cecil or Cecile, I answer to both.

00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,May I...
