So you lost.
It happens.
I'm not ready for a pep talk.
Well, that's too bad,
because you're gonna get one.
You lost, and there's no shame in losing
if you gave it everything you had.
Did you?
Did you give it everything you had?
Did you put your whole heart
and mind into it?
Were you fierce? Were you loyal?
Were you passionate?
Decent and fair?
Did you live up to your own moral code,
- to your own expectation?
- Yes.
Then that's all you can do.
You fought, and this time, you lost.
And you'll probably lose again sometime.
What kind of pep talk is this?
Sometimes we lose.
Even you, my Julian.
Sometimes, we all lose.
But it's okay this time.
Well, I'd like to win one
before I lose again.
[CHUCKLES]
Come on. Let's go home, hmm?
We still have each other.
That's your win.
That is my win.
Hmm.

LANA: 912.
REBEL: 912 what?
I count 912 businesses
with the name Eureka,
and that's just in Los Angeles.
Statewide, it's close to 8,000.
It's okay.
We gave it everything we had.
We put our whole heart into it.
We put our whole mind to it.
We were decent, we were fair,
and we were right,
so whatever happens, it's okay.
I don't regret taking on
this case, not one bit.
Oh, my God. Would you please shut up?
I'm trying to be noble here.
You're telling me to shut up?
Do you realize that
this case has cost me my firm
and possibly my house?
Oh, it's not over yet, Cruz.
It's the bottom of the ninth
and the chips are down.
Have you met me?
Seriously. Have you met her?
Bottom of the ninth
and the chips are down
is when I come alive.
You're mixing metaphors.
Poker and baseball.
- [PHONE CHIMES]
- Ah.
That's Flynn. We should go.
And you should go home
and get some sleep.
You're back in court in 32 hours
and we need you on top of your game.
Come on. They stole our witness.
They have billions of dollars
at their disposal
to keep him hidden.
What do you think
you're gonna do in 32 hours?
I once drove across Arizona by myself
with Nate and Cassidy in the car.
Cassidy wouldn't stop crying
no matter what I did,
so I just turned up the radio
really loud and I hit the gas.
My tires were bald,
and the next thing I know,
I got a blown tire and I'm careening
across a four-lane highway.
I end up sideways in a ditch,
and I have to climb out
of the car to get the kids out.
The good news was
that Cassidy stopped crying.
I had on four-inch heels
and no change of shoes.
It was in the middle of nowhere,
and there were no cars on the road.
So, I took off my shoes,
I took Nate by the hand,
put Cassidy on my hip,
and I walk barefoot through
the desert for six miles.
I got to the town just in time
for the townhall meeting
that I was supposed to be at.
This very nice lady
She gave me some slippers
to soak up the blood
on the bottom of my feet,
and she fed my kids lunch,
and then I gave the speech of my life,
and I convinced that town
to spend the money
to change the pipes
and clean up that water supply
before they became a cancer cluster.
So the baby's crying,
the tire's blown,
the shoes are uncomfortable,
but I swear on
the grave of the grandmother
who taught me how to fight
that you would be a fool
to count me out now.

- You coming?
- [ENGINE SHUTS OFF]
No, because I have work to do
and I already know what he's gonna say.
- How do you know?
- He's alive.
He was out in the open,
which means that he cooperated,
which means that they paid him.
[SIGHS]
They picked him up at the border
on his way into Nevada.
They found 20 grand in cash stashed
in his glove compartment.

Because you stole Ziggy's phone
and told us that she OD'd,
my star witness disappeared.
Now, I need to know how long
you've worked for Stonemore.
I need to know for my daughter
and I need to know for my case,
and I have limited time, thanks to you,
so just skip the apologies
and get to the facts.
Um
I have a little brother
I haven't seen in two years.
He's in foster care in Nevada.
Some lady comes up to me
at the skate park
and she shows me pictures of my brother
and she says he's in a bad situation.
Says his foster mom hits him
and flicks her lit cigarettes at him.
She shows me pictures of the burns
[VOICE BREAKING] and she says she'll
She'll pay me
if I help her distract you,
and I don't have to hurt anyone
or do anything too bad,
and it'll be enough
money to get my brother

[KNOCKS ON WINDOW]
[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]
- I was right?
- Yeah.
Well, did he give you anything useful?
Just more rage.
- Did you find anything?
- No.
I just gave Cruz this whole speech.
- I know.
- He was gonna let me off the hook.
He was gonna forgive me.
And I yelled at him to shut up.
- I was there.
- [EXHALES SHARPLY]
Look, all I'm saying is we need a plan.
- What's the plan?
- My fervent hope
is that your
plan is to stop talking to me,
because what I'm doing requires focus.
Two minutes.
I need to talk for two minutes.
I think better when I think out loud.
- Okay, go.
- [EXHALES SHARPLY]
Look, we're not even sure
that Eureka is a business.
Maybe it's just some project
inside Stonemore.
You know, we need to dig through
the discovery again.
Well, I got a couple of
hacker friends working on it.
They're running a web crawler,
cross-matching Eureka
with Mark Duncan, Stonemore,
- and Karsten Vokelberg.
- Maybe it's an acronym.
What if it's an acronym for
some kind of chemical compound?
- Maybe it's a name.
- If you'd let me focus
- How long?
- How long what?
If I let you focus and keep
doing what you're doing,
how long before
you have e-mailed or phoned
or cross-referenced or hacked
all 8,000 statewide results
for all possible acronyms for Eureka
that might lead us to Karsten?
Too long.

Ohh. Zig?
Zig?

We found Sean.
He's fine,
except that Stonemore
paid him to steal your phone
- and make that call to distract us.
- [DOOR CLOSES]
- Son of a dick!
- Yep. That's what I thought.
But you should hear his story.
It's pretty devastating.
Whatever. What do we do?

Oh, Lana and I called in some favors.
Hey! What the hell's he doing here?
Uh, he's here to fix what he broke.
- Mom
- Zig, he's very good with computers.
Let him help. Come here, Sean.
I'm gonna put you over here

You're gonna search the word "Eureka."
We've divided businesses by letters.
Yours are X, Y, Z.
There you go.
I got it! I got it! I got it!
Karsten Vokelberg, Eureka Storage.
I typed in his e-mail
and it asked me for a password,
so I made up a password,
and it said my password
doesn't match the account,
and that means he has an account.
Karsten Vokelberg has an account
at Eureka Storage.
- So So he has a storage unit?

K-Karsten has a storage unit.
Karsten has a storage unit!

Um, what am I supposed to do

Oh, I don't know. Try parenting.
I mean, you have so many kids,
you should have figured it out by now.

- [ELEVATOR DOORS CLOSE]
- No. What?
I love you.
Not what I was expecting.
Well, I love you, and some days,
I wish I didn't
'cause you drive me crazy.
That should be a Hallmark card.
I should have told you
that I knocked up a lady
- when we got separated.
- Y'think?
Well, 10 years ago, you brought
home a 6-year-old child
Not even as much as a phone call.
We lost the case. Her mother was dying.
She had no one.
And I got mad, and we separated,
and, yeah, I had a one-night stand,
and that's the story,
and you have a part in it.
Okay, guys,
can we not do this right now?
Oh, oh, well,
when are we gonna do it, Lana?
'Cause my marriage, our
marriage, is on the line here,
our family, and I'm fighting
for our family.

If you want to fight for our family,
start by getting
Ziggy and Sean to make up.
Bring him home, let him stay in
the guest house or something.
Just forgive what he did?
Well, I'm supposed to forgive
what you just did.

Karsten kept talking about prison.
He kept saying if he testified,
he was going to prison.
'Cause he thought Stonemore was
gonna frame him for something.
Yeah. Well, we assumed that,

Maybe it's 'cause he was doing
something illegal.
He kept saying that he had to
finish his work
and fix the valve,

What kind of laws?

My sister did not humiliate you.
My sister humiliated herself.
She leaned into
the worst kind of misogyny.
She betrayed her own ideals,
her own belief system,
and 200 years of feminism.
My sister betrayed
and humiliated herself,

boundaries are not
a strong suit of mine,
but I was unparented as a child,

Like, Stonemore told him
to make the call
and get us down here
to waste all 36 hours of ours
unpacking boxes full of dishes
and homework files from
kindergarten to grad school.
I'm not gonna lie, I've had the thought.
I thought we were gonna walk in here

just ripe for the picking.

So, uh, what do you think
about what Benji did?

- Well, you know, I-I never ask you
to take sides, but
Yeah, 'cause he's my brother.
Yeah. Right.
But what he did to Cassidy
What he did with Cassidy is no different
from what you do to Cassidy.
- Wow.
- I'm just saying.
He used her. You use her.
Uh, that's different.
I'm helping people.
Okay.
Look, it's different.
It's a little different.
Cassidy is a kid who didn't get
a lot of her parents growing up.
I was working, helping people.
Rebel, you asked me a question.
Don't ask questions
you don't want the answers to.
Now, Cassidy was a girl who didn't get
a lot of her parents' time growing up,
and she was desperate
for more of it from both of you.
You're not exactly
a sit-around-and-eat-cookies-
and-talk-about-your-feelings
kind of family.
You're a work family,
so she works with you
and she works for you
and she rarely gets an opinion
about what she works on
because you don't listen
when she tries to tell you no.
So, what my brother has done
here is really no different
from what you do, and that's a truth
and I hope you can hear from me.
Oh. So, you're saying I'm using my kid?
I'm saying you need to
learn how to listen to her
when she tries to tell you no

He tanked the case, Dad.
Mom lost the chemist.
You thought I was dead.
I get why he was tempted.
I I get why he wanted

but if he had just come to us,
if he had talked to us,
if he had talked to Mom,
if he had trusted us,
everything would have been different.
Man, you got your mom's fight, Zig.
So it's hard for you to understand
that not everybody does.

that San Bernardino case going.
She wrote Rebel
It must have been 100 times
and showed up at our door
with your little hand.
She baked cookies.
She brought stacks of medical charts,
all the cancer diagnoses,
bottles of dirty water,
and she didn't stop,
no matter how sick she got.
She didn't stop fighting,
and she kept her sense of humor,
she kept her faith.
Even when she knew she was dying,
she didn't stop fighting for you.
She was bold and honest,
and she just had so much fight,
and you have that.
You have that in spades.
And Sean just doesn't.
And I get that about Sean
because I don't either.
It's not my instinct
to get in people's face
and boldly tell the truth
and trust that they're gonna believe me

Look, Karsten Vokelberg

that the valve was causing harm,

illegal trial, that is on him.
- Yeah, he knew you were gonna say that.
- Oh.
He also knew that you would destroy
any trace of any
conversations you had with him,
so he kept copious records.
E-mails, voicemails,
communication with you
or anyone in your company.
He kept it all.
I approved a limited trial
to put his mind at ease, okay?
I was told that it was
only gonna involve prisoners
that could potentially
benefit from the valve
and only on a voluntary basis.
Ever the altruist.
Dozens of prisoners with healthy hearts
were implanted with the Stonemore valve
in exchange for recommendation
of early release.
You sit on the board
of that private prison, Mark.
Doesn't look so good for you.
$600 million, plus you pay
for every plaintiff
to have their heart valve removed
and all their follow-up
medical care in perpetuity.
Plus, you remove
that God forsaken torture device
that you call a heart valve
off the market permanently.
