Partner Track (2022) s01e09 Episode Script

1
Hi.
What are you doing here, Ingrid?
I didn't wanna leave things like that.
Murphy and I
we have history.
I wanted it to be over.
I wanted to be in it with you.
Right. If only I were dark
and tortured like him.
You know, you might wanna ask yourself
why you chase the storm, Ingrid.
You're a good man, Nick.
Apparently, not good enough.
You know, for all your love of justice,
how does this pass Kant's categorical
imperative of "don't fuck people over"?
I'm sorry, Nick.
Thanks for bringing it by.
I'll messenger your things.
The smell of you is on me still ♪
The night died way too young ♪
This feeling is alive and well ♪
Even in your deepest dread ♪
- Hello.
- Hi. Shall we send Jeff Murphy up?
Yes. Thank you.
I was waiting for someone ♪
The door's open.
Surprise.
I brought dumplings. I
Great minds think alike.
I hope it's not weird that I'm here.
No.
No, it's it's nice.
I spoke to Victoria.
Told her I wanted to take a step back.
I talked to Nick.
Good.
So we're finally doing this.
Mmm. Enough of that, Counselor.
We should talk.
Define "talk."
Mmm, defining our terms
would be a good start.
- A quick-and-dirty NDA should suffice.
- Mmm.
I can do dirty,
but I promise it won't be quick.
Mmm.
You know we have
to keep this quiet, right?
My lips are sealed.
Just in the office.
The place where you jumped me?
Oh there will be no more jumping.
Well
I look forward
to seeing you resist my charms.
Red lips on my mind ♪
Red lips burning bright ♪
I see you every time ♪
I close my eyes ♪
At night ♪
Green eyes, you leave me blind ♪
When you shine your light in mine ♪
I see you in the darkness ♪
Around me ♪
Ooh ♪
Ooh ♪
Mmm, as tempting as you are
Really?
It's been a week, and you're already
being lured away by shiny things?
A deal-closing ceremony
is not just some shiny thing.
It's an endangered species.
Deal ceremonies and giant pandas,
they must be protected.
The panda's off the endangered list,
thank you very much.
Well, Ted will be so relieved.
Okay.
So there are three partner spots.
I think it's gonna be you, me
- And Dan.
- and Dan.
Well, in honor of that
Rosecliff.
It's beautiful.
I'll wear it tonight.
Something wrong?
Rachel, Tyler,
and I usually get party-ready together.
Just give them time.
They'll come around.
In the meantime, keep moving forward.
Eyes on the prize.
You ever ask yourself
why you're so ambitious?
Do you?
Well, once I came home
with a 98 on a calc test.
You know what my dad said?
"What happened to the other two points"?
- How'd you know?
- You live for a gold star.
What about you?
What kind of unrealistic expectations
did your parents put on you?
I was the parent.
I cooked, I cleaned,
I took care of my little sisters
far back as I can remember.
You said your dad left.
What about your mom?
I think I might have mentioned
that she wasn't always well.
We had this painting in our house
that our aunt had done for us.
It was my mother and me as a baby.
And my hand was in hers.
It was beautiful.
And then on one of her binges,
she set fire to it.
What? Why?
At the time,
she said there were demons in it.
I was eight.
That was the last time
I held my mother's hand.
So now I don't have any expectations
of my parents.
Or anyone.
I'm so sorry.
Well, now you have me.
This how you treat all your houseguests?
"Guests" implies a temporary arrangement.
Harsh.
I Look, T. I love you,
but we need a post-Anthony plan
that does not involve my couch.
I'm checking out a SoHo place today,
and I've got an interview
at Hotham and White to back it.
SoHo? You love Harlem.
Yeah. Well, his face is on every corner.
- Good morning.
- Morning.
Anyway,
how's your resignation letter coming?
Need any pointers?
Look, as much as I admire
your blaze of glory,
I'm not leaving Parsons
until my bonus is in the bank.
Oh somebody's confident
she's gonna make partner.
Remind me. Who was that
that was avoiding billables all year?
Don't work the law, work the man.
And that management committee loves me.
Well, they'll love you a little less
once you bounce.
Please. Bouncing after year-end bonus
is practically tradition.
Plus, that money will float my writing
for a year. I'll deal with the drama.
No starving artist for you.
Mm-mm-mm.
I'm glad
you're following your dreams, Rach.
Yeah. Well, I haven't heard back
from The Syndicate yet,
so maybe I'm not emerging-writer material.
Hey! Yes, you are.
Everyone that meets you loves you.
You're gonna get into that program,
you're gonna bail on the relic
that is Parsons Valentine,
and you will become the artist within you.
Well, I'm getting
a toothache just sitting here.
You're special too, Tyler.
Okay. Can we just stow
the relentless positivity
until I've had my third cup of coffee?
Oh and we don't have
to time our exits today.
I'm going to H&H to pick up office bagels.
Hey, actually, if you're getting bagels,
can you get me a blueberry one?
Wait. I don't know
what kind of scone you're looking for,
but no, we do not put fruit in bagels.
You're gonna take what I give you,
and you're gonna like it.
Yeah, I think we've established that.
Oh.
Goodbye, boys.
Bye.
Hmm.
What?
You're good for her.
Here's to a beautiful partnership.
The ride wasn't all smooth,
and, uh, that bronco bucked
once or twice, right?
But in the end,
that just makes it all that much sweeter.
Together, we can do anything.
You wanna say something, Frank?
I built my company
on a foundation of hard work.
I want to thank Ted
for his commitment to that legacy.
And his wisdom in creating a greener,
more responsible future.
I want to thank
our general counsel, Carter,
for his tireless work closing this deal.
We could not have done it without you.
Damn right, you couldn't.
To the new Sun Corp!
- To Sun Corp.
- To Sun Corp.
Hear, hear!
- Ingrid, congratulations.
- Thank you.
- Z, congratulations.
- Thanks, Marty.
- Cheers.
- Z?
Ted, I wanted to thank you
for your commitment to our division.
I really think we're gonna be able
to push green energy.
No reason to thank me.
Yun here did all the convincing.
Good job, kid.
Thanks, Ted.
Ingrid.
You forgot your deal toy.
You know how much energy it takes
to make those plastic ego trophies?
How dare you? They're acrylic.
Hey, um, Ted wasn't wrong in there.
You really brought this deal home,
and I did not make it easy on you.
So, thank you.
You're welcome.
Your dad looked
really proud of you guys in there.
Right. Yeah.
Well, you know,
I do a million things right
and my dad sees the one wrong thing,
and Carter does a million things wrong
and my dad just sees Carter.
Ah.
I have one of those back home too.
- What?
- Sorry. You just have a little eyelash.
- Oh.
- On the, uh
- Did I get it?
- Uh
- May I?
- Yeah, of course.
Ah. You should make a wish.
And I hope
you get everything you wish for.
Looks good.
That's for you.
Thank you.
Okay, wait. That was way too earnest.
Is this a bomb? Is it gonna self-destruct?
Will you just open it already?
A week-long trip to Banyan Tree, Mayakoba?
Okay, be real. Are you dying?
Appreciation is a lost fucking art.
You just say thank you.
Thank you.
I don't know.
Z was just so grateful.
He's gonna be blindsided
when Ted shuts him down.
You acted
in the best interest of your client.
You did your job,
and look at where it landed you.
Right where you belong.
You should be excited.
- I mean, I am. Even though I shouldn't be.
- No, no. Yes, you should.
Now why don't we go check out
our new offices?
- Okay.
- Hey.
Don't even bother trying
to snake the big office.
Facilities already know it's mine.
Size doesn't matter, Dan.
I'm sure you hear it all the time.
Only when it doesn't fit. This'll be fun.
Where were we?
I say we christen our new offices.
We said no more jumping.
Mmm, objection. You said that.
I said try to resist me.
Jeff!
You're lucky I wore a skirt.
You want me to beat up this freaking kid?
- I don't want dick from you, Dan.
- Yeah, yeah. You hold a grudge. Whatever.
But if granola boy
is getting fresh with you,
I will go to town on his stupid ass.
What the hell are you talking about?
Check your email. It's from Justin.
Do it.
"I'll schmear your bagel."
He replied-all?
Wait. That's what you care about?
Where's your righteous indignation?
Holy shit.
You're fucking a paralegal?
Well, that's a wildly inappropriate
power dynamic.
What? You hit on me all the time.
Yeah, and we're equals.
I would never mess with someone my junior.
Talk about lawsuit-bait.
Just 'cause you're a chick,
doesn't make it any different.
Cute that you suddenly have a moral line.
Mind your own goddamn business.
Your boy toy
just made your business all our business.
I knew she was a dirty girl.
Do you have any idea what you've done?
No.
I just had Dan fucking Fallon
in my office offering to defend my honor.
All I said was, "I'll schmear your bagel."
Yes. And everyone saw it,
and they're all making
the same calculation.
Either you're a harasser,
or we're fucking.
Neither of which is acceptable.
I don't understand. Since when do you care
what everyone in the office thinks?
Let me explain something to you.
Men get promoted for fucking around.
Women just get fucked.
I didn't know
I was replying-all. I'm sorry.
You know, this is exactly why
I don't date anyone at the office.
Okay. Well,
what can I do to make this right?
I think you've done enough.
Thanks.
Yeah?
Ah, there you both are.
Would you two care to amend
your statements of relationship status?
The building is LEED-certified
with a full-time doorman,
a lounge, and a gym.
All units
have sub-zero appliances?
And wine fridges, standard.
Ah, lovely.
I've got a one-bedroom opening up.
7,000 a month.
It'll go quick, so let me know.
I bet it will.
Thanks.
I could get used to this life.
Don't get used to this.
This was just a moment.
- Agreed. Absolutely no more moments.
- I'm coming!
A pre-holiday-party party?
I don't know. It's early, even for them.
That must've been one heck of a pitch.
Yeah, you don't even have to play
the whole Gretchen Landrus wifey card.
Is your dad really
the inventor of toaster strudel?
What? Are you boys celebrating without us?
Mmm.
You didn't hear?
Hunter just landed the Bearington account.
Yeah. Talk about a partner move.
Yeah, all that honey you sent
must've sweetened the deal.
- You get it?
- He doesn't get anything.
So, Hunter. So, you added Bearington
to your book, then?
More like Bearington told Marty
that Hunter is their guy.
Relationship partner, baby.
Wow. There's not too many whales
out there like that. Congrats, Hunter.
Better luck next year, London.
We'll see.
What's to see?
Dan has Raytheon,
and Ingrid's point on Sun Corp, so
Caleb, year-one lesson, talk less.
Congratulations, Hunter.
Good on you, mate.
Thanks, Murph.
Oh my God! Sweetened, like honey.
Hey. We don't know what this means.
Come on, Ingrid.
We both know Dan's a lock.
His book's insane.
And Caleb's an idiot, but he's right.
You're the point person on Sun Corp.
With Hunter, that's three.
That leaves me out in the cold.
You deserve this.
And, hey, there's always next year, right?
Hey.
You okay?
Always.
Hey. Should I confirm
the salon appointments for tomorrow?
Yeah.
- Thanks, Margo.
- Yeah.
Look.
I'm not some inbred, trust-fund brat
who spent his life summering
on Daddy's yacht,
but you won't find anyone better
at integrating the technical IP know-how
with the boots-on-the-ground realities
of modern creative fields.
I got enough trustees in the department.
I need someone who doesn't make
the clients' eyes glaze over.
Yeah.
That doesn't happen to me.
I, uh I make an impression.
I bet. You're certainly not boring.
Calling out Parsons
on your way out the door, bold move.
There were extenuating circumstances.
Please. We played that video
on a loop in the dining hall.
Parsons has been asking for it.
They don't even publish
their diversity stats.
It's the Dark Ages over there.
Hotham and White is a different beast.
We've got a rock-solid DEI team
that keeps our people current
on the reality of the world.
We hire accordingly,
and our clients are all about it.
- Sometimes doing good is good business.
- Mmm, you should put that on a T-shirt.
Well, we just might.
I think you'd be a good fit here.
I know you were close
to making partner at Parsons.
You'd have to put in a year with us,
but management would be excited
to have you join the partner ranks.
Well, that sounds like exactly
what I need to get back on track.
Excellent.
Good to meet you, Tyler.
You'll be hearing from us soon.
Thank you so much.
Okay, boys. Sound off.
I say three-one-six.
Bullshit.
Four-oh-four.
I'm with Brad. Two-oh-four.
Bruh.
Three-one-six.
She was not a six. That was a four, max.
And really?
You'd hit that? Talk about hard-up.
Real classy, guys.
What?
Hotham and White.
"Where doing good is good for business."
Hey.
Hey. It's me.
I'm sorry about the email.
Yeah. Well, idiots are gonna idiot.
At least it's obvious who they are.
I kept our salon appointments
for the party if you still wanna go.
I know how much you love the Glam Squad.
You know what? I'm slammed
so have fun getting partner-ready.
Bye.
I'm sorry. You're on my lunch.
I'm honored,
and that hot dog is disgusting.
Well, I will have you know,
this hunk of head meat, intestines,
and bone slime is an American staple.
Mmm, your West Virginia is showing.
- Well, I fly it with pride, baby.
- It's good to see you.
You too.
The office is a snoozefest without you.
Well, there's always squash with Dan.
I don't play squash with Dan anymore.
I'm really sorry about how
that all went down, you know?
I told HR it was wrong.
Not that it did any good.
Thanks. And hey, you tried.
Sometimes I wonder what I'm doing there.
Like, I'm not making partner,
why am I killing myself?
I thought you were tracking this year.
My client lost a class-action suit,
so the deal went bust.
Without that, my book can't compete
with Dan's warmongers or Ingrid's oilmen.
I guess maybe next year.
It sucks. I'm sorry.
What about you?
I killed it at Hotham and White.
They offered to get me back on track.
No shit!
But then, like a karmic joke,
I ran into their Dan wannabes
overcompensating all over each other.
Mmm.
But I cannot keep couch-surfing.
God, am I about to sell my soul
for a SoHo one-bedroom?
Mmm.
Before you commit to eternal damnation,
you should check out
my cousin's place in Queens.
Queens?
Your snob is showing.
I fly it with pride, baby.
Well, reel it back in
and get yourself off the couch.
Maybe a shake-up's just what you need.
Hmm.
Or hot dogs.
- It's not bad.
- Absolutely not.
Ho ho ho! 'Tis the season.
Not that you'd know it from this place,
but, um, it's all good, I'm here now.
- It won't work this time.
- What?
Your move. An act of contrition
to make up for the disaster du jour.
It won't work this time, Lina.
Look. I thought the earrings were yours.
I spent the night in jail.
You know, you strut through the world,
blowing shit up,
and you don't even notice.
Dammit.
Can you zip me up?
You know the worst part?
Even after all the chaos
and drama you cause, still
still Mom and Dad, they only see you.
What world do you live in?
Do you have any idea what it's like
to be constantly compared
to Little Miss Perfect?
You're just blaming me because you hate
your life and don't know why.
No. You're using me as an excuse to fail.
You drop out of Juilliard,
you can't hold a job,
you have no place to live except
for with your parade of loser boyfriends.
You're stealing earrings
to pawn for money?
Why can't you just get your shit together?
Like you?
You think if you have the right job,
and the fancy apartment,
and the white boy on your arm,
you'll be safe and protected
from all the shit in the world?
I've worked hard to make my life amazing.
I'm about to make partner
at Parsons Valentine & Hunt.
I will not let you blow that up
for me too.
Try not to flood my apartment again.
Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Congratulations. I'm so excited for you.
It's about time
they shook up the partner ranks.
Nothing is official.
Of all the sixth-years
I've seen over the decades,
you shine the brightest.
Chin up.
You earned this.
You're the best, Margo.
- Congratulations, Ingrid.
- Thanks, Jim.
- Cheers to you, Ingrid.
- Thanks.
Hey, Yun. Get over here. Partner toast.
Go on.
Of course, you're celebrating yourselves
before you even get the gig.
I celebrate myself every day.
One of the perks of being born awesome.
To the new partners. Cheers.
- Cheers!
- To us!
Ugh.
Can you believe that tool Gavin Dunmore
is making partner in IP?
He's like the dollar-store knockoff
of Robinson.
Whatever happened to standards?
They took a hit
when you drove Tyler out of the firm.
Yeah, well, I'll be atoning for my sins
now that I have to work with that idiot.
Whose fault is that?
I'm just saying.
Wimpy partners dilute the brand.
You look nice, by the way.
Oh I'm drunk.
Yes. Give me the nectar of the gods.
That's her. That's Rachel Friedman.
She must be so embarrassed.
Sleeping
with her best friend's paralegal.
Tyler!
- How you doing, man?
- Ah, you must be Bobby.
That's what it says
on my birth certificate.
Come in, come in.
Ah, isn't Todd the greatest?
I just I love Todd, I love his friends.
I can already tell
I'm gonna love you too, man.
Thanks.
Check it out.
This is all for sportsball.
Yeah. Those are my guys.
I'm an owner, you know?
Took my barista tips
and bought myself two whole shares
of Packer stocks back in 2011.
It was the best 500 bucks I ever spent.
Talk about the 1% bilking the working man.
No, not even.
Packers are a publicly-owned nonprofit.
It's all about community.
That's Brett Favre.
See him?
Go ahead. Take a seat.
I'll allow it.
Merits on the decor aside,
the place has some pretty good bones.
Yeah, yeah. No. I think so.
And hey, the price is right.
2,000 a month.
Uh, no doorman,
but the neighbors are super quiet.
Might be just a little bit of a step down
for a fancy lawyer like yourself though.
Yeah. It's slightly different
than what I saw for myself.
Is that a bad thing?
I wouldn't suppose there's a gym nearby?
Yeah. Some of the guys go
to a place a couple blocks away.
You should check it out.
Hey. Wouldn't hurt to take a tour, right?
And, of course, we have yoga,
Pilates, spinning, sculpt, etcetera.
Look around. I'll be at the front desk
if you have questions.
All right, thank you.
Slumming it, Mister "man of the people"?
Yeah. That's right. I saw your Insta.
Sticking it to the man.
Iconic.
Thing is, you blackmailed me
on behalf of the man,
so fuck you, but also
what the fuck?
Oh please. The king of shit-talking
is gonna cast stones?
Welcome to my party.
Uh, Luxe, your corporate overlord,
didn't stop with just me, you know?
They've been coming down hard
on all sorts of indie designers.
Their lawsuit's bleeding Cara Obscura dry.
You saw my Insta. I bailed on that life.
Way to dodge accountability.
All Luxe cares about is money,
damn the community.
You blazed a trail for them.
Like knows like,
so let me assure you, you are a mess.
But what kind of mess are you?
Are you the guy in the suit,
or are you the guy on Insta?
You keep me young at heart ♪
Harold Rosenstein.
What's shaking?
Everything's good.
I remember when my first wife jumped ship,
I thought it was a disaster,
but it wasn't.
It was a chance to try again.
You get to try again, kid.
And you don't even have to pay alimony.
Are you talking about The Syndicate?
It was a very competitive year.
They're rejecting me.
We'll get it next go-around.
After all, you have
that young muse now. Bagel Boy.
I love a good schmear. Mmm!
Well, whatever. It's their loss, right?
Harold! Love the drink you got there.
Mind if I borrow Rachel?
Girl talk?
I'm hip.
A-plus rescue.
Shouldn't you be getting ready
for the Litigation announcements?
Okay. So I'm not telling you this,
but I'm telling you this.
Your name won't be called tonight.
- Are you serious?
- Yeah.
One off-color reply-all
nukes my shot at partner?
Yeah, you really shouldn't be sleeping
with the support staff
or anyone at the office,
but that's not why
you didn't make partner.
Oh come on. You know I'm the best.
You are the best, but you're also billing
half the hours of your peers.
You're coasting.
Did you think
the management committee wouldn't notice?
Look, you are an amazing lawyer, Rachel,
but you're essentially part-time.
I had to go to bat just to keep you,
and you didn't give me much ammunition.
They wanted to get rid of me?
Step up,
hit your billables, keep your job.
Um
can I have a drink?
You work so hard.
Are your parents proud of you?
They're thrilled. What about you?
Ingrid! We can finally do drinks.
April, I'm sorry we haven't had a chance
to get together.
You have so much going on,
and here you are,
about to become the first Asian American
female partner at Parsons.
You're like a beacon of hope.
Thank you.
So what area of the law
excites you the most?
You need to make a five-year plan.
Oh I have a spreadsheet.
Tell me everything.
- Okay, sure
- And now
Hold that thought.
The moment you've all been waiting for,
our annual partnership announcement!
What are you doing Monday for lunch?
Nothing.
- Let's get together then.
- Sure.
In keeping with tradition,
we're gonna start with Litigation.
So please join me in giving a warm welcome
to Eliza Carlisle.
Well, I see everyone's enjoying
that open bar.
No liability there.
I know some folks like to get up here
and expound on their awesome,
but in Litigation,
we don't need to gild the lily.
Our billables are up 22%. Year over year.
Take that, Tax.
That's right. I said it.
And our success comes in large part
because of our superstars.
Carrie Cole, Sophia Feeley,
and Remy Arnault,
welcome to the partner ranks.
I thought Rachel had the firm wired.
She does. Excuse me.
Well done.
Congratulations to all three of you.
They're out of their minds.
You deserved partner.
They're right. I didn't do the work.
You know that.
Or has fuckboy warped
your sense of reality?
Yeah. I know about Murphy.
Your sneak-game blows.
Plus, I know you, Ingrid.
Guess you can't say the same.
I know you.
Then you'd know I don't give a shit
about making partner. It's your dream.
One you let get
between you and your friends.
At least I know what I want.
At least I put myself out there
and go after it.
Next up, M&A!
I have to go. I'll call you later.
Don't.
Thank you.
Year in and year out,
month to month,
every day, our M&A department
remains the gold standard.
An 87% push-through rate.
The highest in the nation.
When people think about M&A, they call me.
We are killers, conquerors, unrivaled.
And to our newest partners, I say this:
Don't fuck it up.
Congratulations to Dan Fallon,
Hunter Reed,
and Jeff Murphy.
Murphy, congrats.
Well played, London.
I gave them everything too.
We're a threat to them.
There must be some kind of mistake.
- Marty
- This isn't the news you were expecting,
and I am sorry about that,
but now is not the time.
I was the lead on Sun Corp.
I killed myself for that deal.
It would have fallen apart if not for me.
There's more to making partner
than doing your job.
That is the bare minimum.
I did everything you asked.
You promised me partner
if I chaired the Diversity Gala.
That is not how I recall the conversation.
You were never gonna give it to me.
There's always next year.
Work a little harder.
You could still get there.
"Work a little harder"?
- Ingrid
- Fuck you, Marty.
I quit.
Rachel.
Don't you get it?
I can't be seen with you.
There's no one here to see.
Everyone's still upstairs getting wasted.
I just wanted to say I'm sorry
about the partner thing.
I know you didn't want it-want it,
but, um, it's gotta sting.
Yeah.
Thanks for that.
Meaning?
One email and suddenly
I'm a laughingstock, not partner material.
You're blaming me?
I told you how women get punished.
Maybe you can be an idiot in your life,
but I don't have a daddy cushion.
Okay. I get that you're upset,
but blaming me is not the answer.
I don't know.
It's sure making me feel better.
I'm so sick of how you always put me down.
All I've done is support you.
I don't deserve to get shit on
just because you're in a bad mood.
You know what?
You don't want to be seen with me?
It's no problem, all right? We're done.
Taxi!
Taxi!
Ingrid, wait!
I'm so sorry.
I had no idea.
It's it's it's unthinkable.
You deserve to make partner.
Marty doesn't think so.
He thinks my work isn't partner material.
But you got promoted.
Is this because of Victoria?
No, no. I told you.
I'm taking a step away from her.
It's the only thing I can think of.
Unless Tyler's right, and the firm
only cares about people who look like you.
I don't understand either,
but you'll make partner next year.
You're too good.
Yeah. There's not gonna be a next year.
- I quit.
- What?
I'm done doing all the work and watching
everyone else get rewarded for it.
Wait, wait, wait.
Listen. Let's go somewhere.
Let's let's talk about this.
I can't. I just I'm happy for you, but
I just I can't.
I
I'll call you.
