- I'm pregnant.
- (ALL): Ahh! Whoa!
- Break a leg.
- I'm not worried.
Your girlfriend's magnificent.
I imagine her cheating on me,
and it's driving me crazy.
You carry out
environmental impact studies
because the the mines are dangerous?
It's because they are potentially
either eco-toxic or toxic.
- What?
- The scientist.
She confessed she falsified
the toxicology report.
You think you can threaten us
into dropping our defamation suit?
Oh, not only will you drop it,
you'll compensate our clients.
And you'll buy my silence.
(ENGINE REVVING)
(TIRES SQUEALING)
(NAOMI): Hey, Ev, are you OK?
Yeah, I think I'm just tired.
She has an infection,
which caused her to go
into premature labour.
However, your daughter has a lot
My daughter?
She's in critical condition.
(PHIL): Was that
the first time you had symptoms?
Before I left on tour,
I missed the appointment.
If Evelyn had made it
to her appointment,
could you have stopped the infection?
Maybe, yes.
But there's no use thinking like that!
So, do you want kids?
- Me?
- Mm-hmm.
Uh, yeah. Of course.
You?
Um, I do
(CHUCKLING) But?
Um
but only if I'm sure that they'll have
everything they need.
You know what I mean?
Oh, yeah, yeah, sure. Of course.
So, a struggling lawyer
at an in-debt firm,
still pays half-price for groceries,
that doesn't exactly scream
financial stability to you?
Um, well, how about
an unemployed cellist?
- Ooh
- Yeah
No, no, no, no, no.
(CHUCKLING)
No, when we have kids
And we are gonna have
more than one, right?
Mm-hmm.
A mini-me and a mini-you.
Oh, yes! So, when we have our minis,
they are gonna grow up in a big house
with a big yard
And they're gonna have
everything they could ever want.
I promise.

(WHISPERING): Careful.

I know you hate me.
I had a fever. I should have told you.
The doctor could have done something.
None of that matters now, OK?
If our baby dies, I won't
be able to live with myself.
Look at me right now.
Our baby is not gonna die.
- But the doctor said
- Listen to me.
Everything's gonna be fine.
I know with every fibre of my being
that our daughter is gonna live.
You gotta trust me.

I fell for it like a fucking idiot.
Wait, slow down. What did you do?
These guys are insane, though.
- I just
- Pat, what happened?
(EXHALING SHARPLY)
I bluffed Keas.
I told them we had evidence
that they falsified the report.
No, no. No, I told you not to.
We don't have any proof.
Yeah, but we had nothing else! OK?
And it's it's actually a lot,
lot worse than that.
What? Why?
They they threatened me.
I mean, they started following me.
Eric and the kids too! And so, I just
I I freaked out. And
(EXHALING SHARPLY)
I promised them I'd convince
our clients to drop the suit.
You did what?
I mean, in exchange,
they said they'd they'd
stop the threats and and
and then pay me for my silence.
You did all of this behind my back?
I did it for us. I did it for the firm.
I mean, I had to do something!
You had your hands full
with the baby, and I
No, no, no. You don't go there.
You did this for you.
How much was Keas gonna pay you?
Two hundred K.
That's it?
You sold out all those people,
you you put your own family
in danger for $200,000?
What is wrong with you? Why?
Wait, Pat, where are you?
In a motel off the freeway.
I just
It's where the deal was gonna go down.
I mean, they they made me
check in under a fake name.
I thought it was for secrecy. I just

Or, I mean, maybe he's
gonna try to kill me.
I don't know!
You you have to come get me.
Please, Phil, I'm scared.
I'm not I'm not kidding here.

Why do you keep doing this?
It's the pressure, man. I just I

I worry about money all the time.
Everyone worries about money
all the time.
You get desperate.
Now you're doing illegal shit?
What are y

It's about time.
You can't go on tour.
What?
You have to see a doctor right away, Ev.
Are you joking?
No. I'm serious. Hey, hey!
Do you have a fever?
A bit of one, but it's nothing.
Well, if you have a fever,
then you might have an infection, right?
It's normal to run
a bit warm during pregnancy.
No, I'm telling you something is wrong.
You have to trust me.
Are you trying to scare me into staying?
Don't you have an appointment this week?
Yes, but I'll go when I'm back.
OK, so then why don't you
let me take you, OK?
We'll we'll do some tests.
If the baby's OK, nothing's wrong,
then I'll take you on tour.
It'll be fine.
You don't want me to go on tour.
- What?
- That's it.
- No, no, no, no. Ev!
- No, I'm going.
Ev, I'm telling you that
I I had a premonition, OK?
- Oh, come on.
- I'm serious.
Look, if you care about our baby's life,
you gotta stop right now.
- Really? Wow.
- Please, Evelyn!
No, I'm gone for the week.
I'll see the doctor then.
Just stop!
It wasn't a premonition, OK?
I've already lived this.
OK, that's enough. Let me go.
- Ev. Ev!
- Now!
Evelyn, I'm telling you,
I've already been through this.
This is so manipulative.
Look, if our child dies,
how will you live with yourself?
You're disgusting.

- Let me go!
- Look, all right.
They're picking you up in a black van.
He's wearing a black jacket,
grey sweater.
How else would I know
- Ah!
- Evelyn!
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Oh my God!
I'm so sorry. Evelyn!
I didn't mean to do that!
You jealous asshole! Leave me alone!
- It was an accident!
- I'm going. You won't stop me!
Evelyn, stop! Guys, Evelyn is sick.
- She needs to go to the hospital!
- No, I'm fine!
- Calm down!
- Stay out of this!
My baby's more important
than your stupid tour!
- You're the one who's sick!
- I didn't mean to scare you!
That's just what you're doing!
Back off or I'll call the police!
Stop! Stop! Evelyn!
No, no, no! Hey, hey!
Stop! Stop the van! Stop it!

I learned while training
(HORN HONKING)
Shit, shit, shit! Look! Quick!
- Fuck is he doing?
- No!
(PHONE RINGING)
Yeah, what?
My man, I got them!
The Ministry and Keas tampered
with the toxicology report.
- Yeah, I know.
- What?
How? Why didn't you tell me?
Yeah, that's rich coming from you.
Do you know the things I had
to do to get that intel?
I don't know, is your dick involved?
No, nothing like that.
She's she's gay.
Pat, listen to me,
do not try and bluff Keas, OK?
I'll handle it.
Don't say or do anything, you got it?

How can I direct your call?
Hi, is Dr. Koonar at the clinic
or the hospital today?
Let me check.
She's at the hospital right now.
Perfect. Thanks!
(LINE RINGING)
- Hi.
- Mom!
I was in a bad accident.
I'm headed to emergency.
They're gonna transfer me to ICU.
I need you to call Evelyn and
tell her to meet me there, OK?
Sl slow down. Can
I think he's gone.
(PHONE RINGING)
Oh, God. Fuck!
Don't answer. Put it away!
Come on, Ev, don't
No, no, it's his mom. It's his mom.
Yeah?
Where's Philip Grimmer?
- He was in a car accident
- Evelyn.
Philip?
- Are you OK?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it was a small accident.
But I I ran into Dr. Koonar here
and told her all about your fever.
If you're running a fever,
it could mean there's something
wrong with the baby.
- I'd like to examine you.
- No, I'm fine.
There's still a concern.
Come on, you're already here.
Right?
(HOSPITAL STAFF TALKING, INDISTINCT)
(WOMAN SPEAKING OVER PA)
(PHONE BUZZING)
Hey, what's up?
(ANDY): Where are you?
Nobo nobody seems
to know where you are.
They say you're not even registered.
Wait, wait, wait,
are you at the hospital?
Yes, I'm downstairs. Where are you?
(SIGHING)
Uh, wait there.
I'll come find you.
What are you doing here?
Mom said that you
were in a car accident.
Of course she sent you
instead of coming herself.
She said that she couldn't
stand to see you dying.
I'm fine, OK?
My neck is sore. That's all.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
Yeah, the only reason I called her
is Evelyn wasn't picking up her phone.
I never said I was dying.
I'm sorry, all right?
I I didn't think she'd call you.
OK, yeah, no, I mean,
I'm just glad that you're not hurt.
I'm
Come here. I'm OK.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
But, um, I gotta get out of here, OK?
Thank you for coming.
Can I get six numbers
for the next big one?
Dr. Koonar?
You were right.
She has a urinary tract infection,
it's in her kidneys.
We put her on a round
of emergency antibiotics.
Will the baby be OK?
It's hard to tell if we caught
the infection in time.
If not?
- We've run some tests.
- Can you rush the results?
- Sure.
- OK.
- Can I go see her?
- Absolutely.
- Thanks, Doctor.
- Hey, Phil?
- Yeah?
- I have to ask.
How'd you know?
Fatherly intuition.
(EVELYN): It's fine. Thanks.
Hi, there you are.
You look great for someone
recovering from a car crash.
What? What happened?
He had a car accident.
- Right, Philip?
- It was nothing
just tweaked my neck. That's all.
Hey.
Ca can we talk?
Yeah.
All right.
Ho how did you know?
What?
How did you know that Keas tampered
with the toxicology report?
- I have my sources.
- Do you have proof?
No.
But we're gonna have to do
a counter-assessment.
With what money?
No, I say we bluff Keas.
We trick them into offering our clients
a huge, fat settlement.
Pat! I am so sick and tired of having
the same argument with you!
What?
I literally just found this out.
My kid is in danger
and your sister's in there.
Can we do this another time, please?
You gotta stop worrying about money.
It makes you do stupid things!
OK, I got the results rushed.
We're incredibly lucky.
If you hadn't gotten here when you did,
things could have been way worse.
But we got the infection in time.
And your baby's gonna be fine.
- (EVELYN): OK.
- (MARCEL): Oh, thank God!
A-anything else we need to do?
Yes, she needs to stay on bed rest
until the end of her pregnancy.
You need to make sure
that she lies down,
has very limited physical activity.
- She stays here?
- No, she goes home.
But she comes
in regularly for ultrasounds.
We need to keep a close eye on her.
(PAT): You sure you're OK?
(EVELYN): Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
(CHUCKLING)
I don't know where to start.
At the beginning.
How did you know?
I was doing your laundry
and I, uh, noticed some spotting
in your underwear.
So I was worried.
I started playing Google Doctor,
landed on pyelonephritis,
among other things.
Then I had this dream
our baby was born prematurely.
And she was so small.
And I held her in my hands
And then she was gone.
And then I woke up.
You said you lived it.
Well, yeah, I mean, you know,
like you live a dream.
Like, it feels real, you know?
And then it was all I could think about.
But then why did you only mention it
right before I left on tour?
Well, because that's when you told me
you had missed your appointment,
that that you had a fever.
No, I didn't.
You guessed I had a fever.
(PHIL SIGHING)
I-it
You didn't want me to go.
No.
No, that's not it.
Evelyn, I was afraid, OK?
I was afraid for you and the baby.
That that's
That's what made me so
Aggressive.
(WHISPERING): Anxious.
You pushed me down the stairs.
You threatened me
with our child's death.
You lied that you were
in a bad accident.
- And I'm sorry.
- Who does that?
All right, I'm sorry
I was so insistent, OK?
But I was right. I mean, what?
Would you rather our baby a
(SIGHING)
(WHISPERING): Hey.
(NORMAL VOICE): All that matters
is that the two of you are OK.
It's over.
Yeah.
Get some rest.
I'm not going anywhere.
OK?

♪
I assume you only want to settle
because you caught wind that we're doing
a new toxicology assessment.
Who told you?
That's a fair offer.
- You should take it.
- We're not interested.
If your clients settle now,
they can avoid an expensive,
pointless court process.
They won't be interested.
We're open to counter offers.
What's their number?
This is about principle.
There's always a number.
We want to stop the mine.
And our independent assessment
will prove that your mine
will put people's heath
and the environment at risk.
And you, have you thought
through all the risks you'll be facing?
I'm sorry, i-is that a threat?
(CHUCKLING)
You know what?
I I really wouldn't bother
with any of your little scare tactics.
They're not gonna work on me.
I don't like what you're inferring.
OK, try me.
You have no idea what I am capable of.
What's wrong?
You OK?
You see the doctor today?
Yeah, but she wants me on
bed confinement until the birth.
That means no tour.
Well, whatever it takes, right?
Are you happy about this?
Evelyn, this is good news.
All we have to do
is follow the doctor's orders.
We're gonna have a healthy baby!
You're not the one having
to stay in bed for months.
You said you couldn't live with yourself
if something happened to our baby.
I never said that.
This is temporary.
OK? I promise.
It's gonna go by just like that.

Thank you. You're all very brave.
Hey, hey, "Greta Thunberg,"
who do you represent,
the world or our clients?
That's a good deal!
You went behind my back and told them
about our counter-assessment.
It worked. They made an offer.
Yeah, except now
they have to sign an NDA,
which means that offer
will keep us from doing
a new toxicology investigation.
What did you expect?
You weren't doing anything
so I made a move.
Go and convince our clients
not to take that offer.
- No, but
- That's it, Pat!
Now! Just for once, please,
at least pretend to be
a decent human being.

They're not the mafia.
- There have been some issues.

Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't want to stress you out.
You didn't think having
some creepy guy wandering around
might freak me out?

Got the same threats
from Keas as you did,
pictures of me and Evelyn.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, what threats?
- I never got any.
- Doesn't matter.
Having an interview with
a reporter this afternoon.
I'm telling her everything.
You don't have proof that Keas tampered
with the toxicology report.
If the story is out there,
then Keas will change their tactics.
Well, you'd think you'd consult
your partner about strategy first.
But that's the thing, Pat.
We aren't partners.
OK, sure.
Sure, I went to Keas about the report
and I told our clients
to take the offer.
I can't trust you.
It was all for the good of the firm.
A case like this could bankrupt us.
- You've got a baby on the way.
- How much to buy you out?
- What?
- Come on, Pat.
We're friends, you're Evelyn's brother.
Let's not destroy that.
Are you serious?
Name your price.
The most important thing is
that Evelyn does not stress
about this before the baby is born.
OK?
OK.
Why do a counter-assessment
on the Saint Jean mine?
Don't you trust how
the government is managing
its natural resources?
Well, what we know is that Keas
and the Ministry of Agriculture
worked together
to falsify a toxicology report
with the express purpose
of hiding from the public
one simple fact:
that the mine that they plan to build
will be an environmental hazard.
Is it true they tried
to buy your clients' silence
with a significant settlement?
Yes, and my clients turned them down.
Look, if this mine
is allowed to proceed,
the region is gonna suffer
for generations.
And I want to be very clear
about something,
my passion about this case
goes far beyond
my commitments as a lawyer,
and speaks directly
to my concerns as a citizen.
We reached out to Keas
and they denied everything,
calling the allegations unfounded.
We tried to get
a comment from the expert
who wrote the alleged
falsified toxicology report,
but she refused to speak with us.
There you go.
With my face plastered
all over the news,
Keas isn't gonna touch us.
I spoke to Naomi.
The Chamber added more concert dates.
OK
you're out of commission
for the rest of the season.
I know, but apparently,

Thank you for coming.
Can I get six numbers

Dr. Koonar?
You were right.
She has a urinary tract infection,
it's in her kidneys.
We put her on a round
of emergency antibiotics.
Will the baby be OK?
It's hard to tell if we caught
the infection in time.
If not?
- We've run some tests.
- Can you rush the results?
- Sure.
- OK.
- Can I go see her?
- Absolutely.
- Thanks, Doctor.

No.

No, I say we bluff Keas.
We trick them into offering our clients
a huge, fat settlement.

My kid is in danger
and your sister's in there.
Can we do this another time, please?
You gotta stop worrying about money.
It makes you do stupid things!
OK, I got the results rushed.
We're incredibly lucky.
If you hadn't gotten here when you did,
things could have been way worse.
But we got the infection in time.
And your baby's gonna be fine.
- (EVELYN): OK.
- (MARCEL): Oh, thank God!
A-anything else we need to do?
Yes, she needs to stay on bed rest
until the end of her pregnancy.
You need to make sure
that she lies down,
has very limited physical activity.
- She stays here?
- No, she goes home.
But she comes
in regularly for ultrasounds.
We need to keep a close eye on her.

like you live a dream.
Like, it feels real, you know?
And then it was all I could think about.
But then why did you only mention it
right before I left on tour?

that that you had a fever.
No, I didn't.

I'm not an invalid.
It's Mr. Grimmer. He insists.
I know.
You're giving me the firm?
Changed my mind.
It's all yours.
OK, but you're you're
giving me the firm,
plus all this bonus money?
Is it enough?
For what?
For you not to worry about cash again
and do stupid things.
OK, where will you even get the money?
I settled with Keas.

When?
I got a better deal for our clients.

the mining project.
Too much public pressure.

Yeah.
It was the right thing
to do for everyone.
Trust me.

So, the place had a bit
of a renovation 2 years ago,
but I insisted
on these new floors throughout.
They're all heated independently.

It's a piece of redwood carved
from one whole piece.
But this kitchen,
brand new from the ground up.
State-of-the-art appliances,
brand-new cabinets
