Fairly Legal s02e12 Episode Script

Who's in the conference room? Good morning, Leo.
Is it Robin Archer? I like pleasantries, Benedict.
Cute top.
Is Robin Archer, the billionaire, - in our conference room? - Oh, my God.
Yes, it is.
Shut up.
Uh, Lauren's in your office.
I told you I had a negotiation.
He is buying our client's airline.
Lauren, Robin Archer doesn't ever actually show up.
He sends his team.
Whatever, he's just a man.
Are you hiding in my office? No, I am letting him wait for me.
Two more minutes.
His watch is made out of the Dalai Lama's baby teeth.
They call it human ivory.
I made that up, but we're "killing time.
" He doesn't actually wear a watch.
I do know a lot about the guy.
Robin Archer is in the conference room.
Oh, good God.
I'll just Archer is hot.
You wanna see some naked photos of him? - Oh, yeah.
- Ah, yeah.
- What's that? - It's autotrader.
com.
We need to find you a car.
- See how simple it is? - Hmm.
So many to choose from.
You can do side-by-side comparisons, find exactly what you need.
Oh, it would be ever so fun.
Oh, Leonardo, when you promise someone naked pictures of a cute boy, you don't show them pictures of cars.
Cars are sexy when you're driving them yourself.
They say, "look at me!" - "I'm not a 29-year-old anomaly" - uh-huh.
"with some eccentric life skill deficit.
" Oh, come on, Leo.
But you love driving me around.
What is this? Oh, uh, those were hand delivered from Justin.
I believe that they are, uh Tickets to Claudia Alves! Who's Claudia Alves? She is this amazing Brazilian singer songwriter.
And she's performing at the Opera House on Friday, but these tickets are for her private performance tonight at Hugo's! Yes, yes! So you and Justin officially No, no, no.
Not officially anything.
We are simply just trying things out.
But you know what, these are very spur of the moment.
They're not very Justin-like.
Perhaps he's making a point.
"You'll like me better if I'm not who I am.
" Thanks so much, Benedict Yancy.
What time is it? Wow, $35 a share.
Mr.
Archer does not appreciate being kept waiting.
Well, that's very daddy Warbucks.
Lauren McKinnon Reed.
Robin.
Charmed.
Is 35 your final offer? Well, this morning's price was 31.
- It's been 50.
- It was 50 when the market was 14,000 and you could check a bag for free.
- Where's your client? - I didn't think he needed to be here to be insulted.
Or is that why you're here? To insult him personally? Why is 35 an insult? My client's airline has made more money in the last ten years than all the regional airlines you have acquired put together.
So we could continue to play footsie a little bit longer, or we could lay our cards on the table and sew this thing up today before it gets - even more expensive for you.
- What's your bottom line? - 52.
- 52? Why would I pay 52? Because Metro added four new routes and has three new landing spots at S.
F.
O.
- Since when? - Since this morning.
You secured those landing spots in the last two days.
I don't like to stay idle.
- I'll pay the 52 per share.
- Robin.
- I have a lunch at Snapfish tomorrow at 1:00.
Can you meet me there with the papers just before? Of course, I will see if I can juggle my schedule.
Yes, try.
Um, nice tangoing with you.
Did you say tangling? Tangoing, it's it's a dance.
Yeah, I yes.
Wow, Mr.
Patrick, I am impressed.
Well, that was the goal.
- Sit? - Yes.
Thank you.
Mind if I get a photo of San Fran's next D.
A.
? - Knock yourself out.
- Oh, yeah.
- Uh, together? That's - Yep.
Everyone loves a handsome couple.
Thank you.
I didn't know we were going public.
Oh, that'll be on the back page - of the local section at best.
- Ah.
Whoo! Oh! Thank you very much for that warm American welcome.
I'd like to dedicate tonight's concert to the 24,000 Brazilians who are presently being displaced in order to build the Belo Monte dam.
I think there are better ways these days to create energy than to destroy indigenous populations and thousands of acres of forest.
Anyway, I'll shut my mouth and sing.
Sexy with a cause, I love this girl.
You wanna meet her after the show? - Hugo's a friend of mine.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Oh, Justin, remind me to divorce you more often.
Hugo, those seats were amazing.
- My man.
- Thank you.
You did not tell me your girl was so very beautiful.
Oh, no, no, no, I'm not his girl, uh Well, it's not official.
A little more complicated than that really.
You know what, let me go introduce you two to Claudia.
- Yes.
- Ooh, yeah.
Claudia, I'd like you to meet some friends.
Hi, really big fans.
Wow, great show, great.
- We have names.
- Oh, okay.
I'm Justin Patrick and this gushing fan here - is Kate Reed.
- Nice to meet you.
Ah, you are the lawyers Hugo warned me about.
- Yeah.
- Oh, God, no.
- I'm mostly human.
- Okay.
Oh, miss Alves, I just wanted to say that your music, it's so amazing, it's - thank you.
- So emotional.
Oh, thank you very much.
I love San Francisco.
I will miss this wonderful city.
It's beautiful.
- Excuse me.
- Yeah? Okay.
Well, I guess we're going, so nice to meet you.
- It was a real pleasure.
- Thank you.
- You're awesome.
- Thank you.
Hey, you know what? A few of us are headed to a small get-together at a friend's loft.
Would you like to attend? Fabulous views, Brazilian food, and maybe if the gods agree, a little live music.
- Uh, I don't know.
- We'd love to.
- I totally understand.
- No, it's just I've got this early morning meeting you're so close to being cool.
- All right, we're in.
- All right! Yay! - It's nice.
- Whoo! - Cachaca comes out.
- Ooh.
Cachaca is like rum, but the alcohol content, it's a little higher.
- Ooh, make mine a double.
- I'm good.
- No, no, no.
- I've got that thing - in the morning.
- You need to unwind.
- He loves to unwind.
- Yeah, that's me, - Mr.
Unwind.
- Make his a double too.
- Double, double, double.
- Wow.
- We say saude.
- Saude.
We say bottoms up.
All right.
Aye.
- That's smooth.
- Mm, yeah.
So how long have you been together? - Oh - Oh, that's a - good question.
- Good question.
Um.
- Well, he - Well, we were together.
- We were married.
- Yes, and then - we sort of split up.
- And then we got divorced.
And then we just started having lots of sex.
- Yes.
- Which it happens, actually.
- And now we are - We are, um - back together.
- Dating.
- Dating.
- All right.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Life is complicated, huh? - Yeah.
- God bless it.
- Yes.
- Yeah, saude.
- Saude.
- Yes.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, my man, is that what I think it is? It's just Justin, it's for unwinding.
No, you can't listen, I know you guys, I'm not trying to trample on anybody's fun, but technically as an officer of the court, I can't be in the presence of oh! Hope you and your friends aren't too shaken up, - Mr.
Patrick.
- We're fine, thanks.
Did anybody see the driver or the plates? No, God, it just you know, it just happened so fast.
It's a white SUV.
I think I got a partial plate.
All right.
Uh, that's mine, officer.
These people had nothing to do with that.
Yes, right, I mean, A.
D.
A.
Patrick said just that - right before we hit.
- Yes.
Sorry, I'm gonna have to search the vehicle.
- Okay.
- Yeah, it's probable cause.
- Do what you gotta do.
- I'm so sorry about this.
Oh, gosh, you know what, it's not your fault.
It's okay.
What are you gonna do? Justin, I'm sorry.
- Are you okay? - Oh, yeah, I'm awesome.
It's just great.
Whose purse is this? Oh, that's mine.
Ma'am, you are under arrest for possession of cocaine.
- What? - Whoa, whoa, wait a minute.
How did we get from pot to cocaine? - That is not mine.
- You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be Don't say anything, Claudia, hold on.
If you can't afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.
But Fairly Legal 2x12 - Force Majeure Original air date June 8, 2012 Do I need a crisis manager? Yes.
But we behave as if there is no crisis.
Chronicle reporter, they wanna know if Justin's here, or his ex-wife.
- Should I take that? - No.
Kate's out at breakfast, you have no idea where.
And if you haven't seen Justin, then hang up.
A partner in this firm and in the same car a candidate for D.
A I know, Lauren, I was there.
Here's the happy couple.
Aren't they adorable? - Caption's cute too.
- Oh.
"High on love.
" Are you kidding me? That is not exactly buried on the back page.
I realize that.
Hey, you should stay away from your office.
You can work from here if you want.
I didn't do anything wrong, Lauren.
- I'm not going into hiding.
- You wanted my advice.
I am advising you.
Lay low.
Claudia wants us to represent her.
She called.
Okay, fine.
I called.
But she's just really freaked out.
She has no American representation.
There's a conflict of interest.
You're in the car.
But we didn't break any laws.
And you know what, Claudia didn't either.
And Lauren, if we represent her, then at least we can control the situation.
And I know how much you love control.
You're the criminal and drugs guy.
That doesn't sound like flattery.
She is being arraigned this morning.
If they hold her, she'll look even more guilty.
Get her out on bail.
Work together.
- Oh, no, no, no, it's fine.
- She's good.
- She doesn't need my help.
- I can do this on my own.
- Deck chairs, ice, go.
- Aye-aye, Captain.
Did you do anything un-Justin-like in that limo? I was 100% stick-in-the-mud.
Oh, thank God.
Hey.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
All right, um, this is my associate.
- This is Ben Grogan.
- Hi.
Hi.
How long will they hold me? Well, if we can get you out on bail, then it's probably Claudia, our system doesn't have a lot of tolerance for drug-related crime involving cocaine.
You understand this is obvious.
The cocaine was put in my purse to stop me from coming home.
So you were framed? Well, who would frame you? Well, I'm fighting powerful people in Brazil.
In my state, there's a police chief, a man named Cardoza, who uses brute force to coerce people off their land.
- Oh, this is for the dam? - Yes.
A dam? You're a singing crusader.
My father died fighting against his methods.
He knows I keep my father's memory alive.
Claudia, are you high right now? Are you high right now? Surely there's easier ways to get you to keep quiet than some elaborate plot to plant drugs on you in America.
Like, say, a tennis ball and duct tape.
Oh, really, why don't you show us? No, keeping me here is perfect.
If I'm home, I am trouble in or out of jail.
"Far from the eyes, far from the heart.
" Can you focus on getting her bail below a gazonkagillion dollars? The drugs weren't mine.
And you need to believe me.
No, I don't.
I just need to represent you.
I believe you.
I will get you out of here.
Hello? Tango started in the slums of Argentina.
Did you know that? It's one of the first dances where men and women faced each other.
And there were no rules.
Is there a point where you're so rich it doesn't matter what you say? I was being fascinating.
You don't wanna know anymore about the history of the tango? Maybe, after, "hello," and, "sorry this place" "is so clearly deserted.
" - I own it.
- Oh.
So you just shut it down so I could drop off some papers, huh? That is exactly what you did.
The kitchen's still open.
You free for lunch? Oh, no.
Well, the food is very good.
Oh, Chevy's a great chef.
He cooks with his heart.
But he also knows how to manage the business.
That is hard to find.
Mm.
I don't know, I think that's kinda silly.
You know? Just hire two people.
And let 'em focus on what they're really, really good at.
That costs more money.
I thought were in the world - where money doesn't matter.
- Well, we are.
But that's not the world I was born into.
And it's not the world where I made the money.
Did you bring the papers? Yes, yes.
You don't want your attorney to look it over? No, I trust you.
And, uh, I fired my attorney just after our meeting.
Yes, it was your fault.
There.
Our business is done.
Well, uh, wow.
I can't believe I have stayed here as long as I have.
You're not staying for dessert? You know, actually I am in the middle of a crisis at work.
I really should get back.
Right.
What will you remember about today? The tricky legal maneuver you engineered or sharing a creme brulee with a new friend? Do you really wanna know? Run, while you can.
All right, but I am not sharing anything with you.
You own the restaurant.
I think I can have my own dessert.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
People versus Claudia Alves, docket number 1607B, possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, H.
S.
code 11351.
How does the defendant plead? Not guilty, Your Honor.
The people request bail at 500,000.
- What? - Gazonkagillion.
Okay, uh, Your Honor, I'm sorry, but doesn't that sound a little steep? I mean, she's an internationally famous singer of love songs.
- She has no record.
- In this country, anyway.
Intent to sell, half a million in bail? Does she look like she runs a Mexican cartel? Four plastic baggies.
That's intent to sell and she's a flight risk.
She'll hand in her passport.
This is international trafficking.
And this woman's fame certainly doesn't change the rules, nor does the fact that she may have a relationship with another A.
D.
A.
- in our office.
- Relationship? Your Honor, they knew each other for six blocks.
I hope it was a great six blocks.
- What is that supposed to mean? - All right.
Intent to sell, maybe.
But that bail number is designed to get headlines.
The defendant will hand over her passport to the court.
Bail 50,000, cash or bond.
Next.
We'll have you out of here within the hour.
Thank you.
Okay.
Okay, we're in trouble.
Davidson's minion over there is gonna use this case to make Justin look bad in the press.
It's not your fault.
You didn't plant the cocaine in her purse.
Nope.
But I did plant Justin in that car.
Hey.
Don't touch my stuff.
I'm laying low.
I suck at laying low.
And by the way, this is my stuff.
Uh, talk to your divorce lawyer.
I was my divorce lawyer.
So who's this Barber guy? - He's coming after you hard.
- Oh, yeah, Tracy Barber.
He joined the office about a year ago.
He's a reasonable guy and he's a friend.
You've never mentioned him.
Yeah, well, it's not like we go to the movies and hold hands.
He's a work friend.
We're you and Ben.
From your lips to my imagination.
Look, just go back to Barber.
This is Claudia's first offense.
He'll plead this thing down.
All right, Justin, we have to get her home in a week, not three years.
We have to get the charges dropped.
No, Kate, trust me - She was framed.
- Oh, no.
Before you roll your eyes, let her tell you about the conspiracy theory involving Brazilian police.
Screw it, roll 'em now.
Just plead this one down, Kate.
This is her best shot.
Barber's gonna do the right thing.
I'm gonna go get some air.
Ugh.
What? You two make a cute political couple.
No, I mean it.
- I'm happy for you.
- We are not a couple.
I was being nice, don't treat me like a fool.
Where the hell's Lauren? Singing in the rain, yeah.
I think I was, I don't know, maybe 12 when I first saw it.
And of course I loved the romance.
But, uh, I remember thinking, when they were up all night, brainstorming, trying to figure out how to save the dueling cavalier from flopping.
- The dancing cavalier.
- Right, right.
They turn it into a musical.
I mean, it's such a good idea.
Yeah, and then they started singing in the rain, as I recall.
Yes, but, um, at feeling of saving something, you know? Solving a problem, turning it around damage control.
Yeah.
I don't know, I guess I've always loved it.
Do you dance? Um, dance yeah.
Do you like Peggy Lee? Mm, not if you've paid to bring her back from the dead.
Come on.
- You wanna dance now? - Why not? You know, Robin, um, if you gave my client our per-share asking price to close a different kind of deal I'm gonna sell that airline next week for twice as much.
You were taken.
No.
No, I maxed out the value.
I I mean, maybe once you grow it Can you just switch off your head for one minute? Because I need to do something.
Well, that was fun.
You, uh you get that I can't do this if there are other women in other empty restaurants falling for this b.
s.
? All right, here's the truth.
No wives, no girlfriends, no kids.
Uh, I have tended to date downhill skiers, a few ballerinas, and a weather girl, briefly.
She did have a P.
H.
D.
in meteorology.
- Hm.
- Or was it cosmetology? - I forget.
- Oh, my God.
Trust me, uh, being honest with you is as strange for me as it is for you.
So, the good news first, this office is not going to play politics here.
We have no reason to believe that either you or Justin had any knowledge of miss Alves's dealings, so you're off the hook.
What do you mean dealings? Right, the bad news.
You're gonna plead this down to possession.
First offense, six months.
She had four grams of coke in her purse, split up into separate bags.
I need to charge more than possession.
Assuming those were her drugs.
Okay, hold on a second, she is not a dealer.
And she's not a user.
You can't just announce that like it's evidence.
- Where's your proof? - You can't just sit there like this is about evidence and proof.
This is about your boss and the reelection - and you know it.
- No, it's not.
Yes, it is.
The longer this is in the news, the more it hurts Justin.
Look he called you a reasonable guy.
Justin considers you a friend.
- Don't be a frenemy.
- Give him a break, please.
Plead it down.
Give Claudia probation.
He can't.
Davidson has you by the nuts? D.
A.
's office has no plea to offer Claudia Alves.
We're going to trial.
Of course you are.
Okay, we gotta prepare for this.
They're gonna treat her like she blew up an orphanage field trip to an animal shelter.
We can't let this happen.
Kate, she was busted for drugs.
Maybe they were planted on her by a Brazilian sheriff.
Hell, maybe Davidson dressed up like a limo driver and planted the drugs himself.
But if you wanna save Claudia, we've gotta come up with a story that a jury will believe.
She cannot go to trial.
She's gonna get screwed.
You hate the system, get that.
I don't.
You should.
Lauren, they won't accept a plea.
I I don't know how to keep this out of court.
- Ah, yeah.
- Yeah? Yeah, you know, uh you should file right away for a postponement.
This will mean a lot less to Davidson once it cools off.
Yes, a postponement, okay.
We're gonna do that.
Wait, Kate, um, do you have a second? God, wow, I I don't know why I'm telling you this.
But, um, I think I'm seeing Robin Archer.
Whoo.
Uh, I think that is called bragging.
I don't know anything about him.
Did you sleep with him already? - What? No! - Oh, my God, Lauren.
- Yes, you have - No, I have not.
- I just met him.
- Ooh, did he rock your back - like it was his own? - Okay, you know, I came to you - for a reality check.
- Oh, really? - And you came to me? - All right, fair enough.
I had a friend who had nothing but nice things to say about the, uh, you know, Archer magic.
- Hm, really? - Mm-hmm.
You, uh, you know someone else who dated him? No, no, no, she dated his son.
He he doesn't have any kids.
Okay.
So this is you laying low, huh? I like to keep my mind off things.
- Yeah? - Wanna go one-on-one? Would that make you feel better? I'm fine, Kate.
You know, I think it's kind of ironic that the one time I get you to loosen up the cops show up.
You know that Davidson is calling me in for an official inquiry into Claudia's arrest? Oh, Justin.
God, all they want is a transcript with your name next to the word, "doobie.
" I know.
Justin, what if you lose the election? If I lose the election, it won't be because you convinced me to have a good time.
It'll be because Davidson's a dirty son of a bitch.
I don't blame you, Kate.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, the bassist did it? Just hear him out.
We need an alternate theory to present to the jury.
You're going to trial? - They didn't accept our plea.
- No, no, no.
Not "you're going to trial?" You're going to trial? Apparently Claudia and her bassist Antonio had a fling last year, so we call him "spurned.
" And he has a record for possession.
The woman was onstage performing solos.
Her purse was in her dressing room, and Antonio had access to it.
But did he do it? That is exactly the reaction we need from the jury.
That slightly confused, slightly disgusted face that you both have right now.
All we need is to create reasonable doubt.
Unless you got something else, this is the best play.
I Or do you want Claudia to go to prison? Fine.
But it is not your choice, or mine.
It's hers.
Okay, you see, you've kind of been caught in the, uh, politics of everything.
My friend Justin is running for district attorney.
And since he was in the car - exactly, yes.
- Oh, boy.
They just wanna drag it through trial.
But the good news is, I can defend you by saying that somebody else in the car planted those drugs.
So tell me about Antonio.
Antonio? I know, it sounds bad, but it's just a tactic.
And you know what, it is out there that you guys had a really bad breakup, so, you know, if I can suggest to the jury that he was the one But that is not true and he and I are past our problems.
But it it really is just a defense.
Kate, could you do that to a friend? No.
You know, I'm just I'm your lawyer.
And this what lawyers do, but Sometimes I just think it would've been easier if you hadn't of met me.
But I did meet you.
I know, we think we're in control.
And most of the time it's destino, destiny.
You're just being nice.
You say yes to a party with a stranger and both our lives take a big turn.
I was born the daughter of an activist.
Trust me, I didn't ask for his problems, but here they are right in front of me.
Should I turn away from that? Well, you might have to.
You could go away for a really long time.
A good life isn't an easy life.
For me, a good life is when you let destiny tell you where you ought to go.
You should write a song about that.
They're all about that.
I'll testify.
I'll tell the truth.
And we'll see what happens.
Okay.
Can we begin? - Trace? - Ah, by all means.
State your name.
Come on are you serious? Just Justin Patrick.
On the night in question, can you explain why you got into a limousine with the accused and her band after the event? - We were invited.
- Invited to what? How is Sheila and the baby doing? Answer the question.
- They said - Who said? Claudia Alves said that there was a gathering of a friend of hers at an apartment.
Did you have any reason to believe illegal substances would be involved? - No, of course not.
- But given the context, a ride with a group of musicians to an after party No, you're right, actually.
They were South American musicians wearing dark sunglasses, who everybody knows are drug addled criminals.
Actually we were lucky that we got hit by that car before we a chance to pick up the prostitutes.
Hey, Justin, sarcasm is not detected clearly in transcripts.
Well, I think this time it will be.
Let me be really clear here, okay? The moment that I saw something suspicious, I asked to exit the vehicle.
Do you always leave the premises when a crime is being committed? Are you seriously asking My client entered this room in good faith.
Just like in that limousine, if something stinks, he is going to leave.
Is it possible that your judgment was off because you were under in the influence of a controlled substance yourself? - No.
- You go to a concert.
You end up in the back of a limo with four grams of coke.
- Not even a drink? - Asked and answered.
That's okay, actually.
Let the record state that I had two drinks.
A single malt rocks during the concert and half a shot of Brazilian rum in the limo.
In fact let the record also state that I have had drinks on many occasions.
Several with A.
D.
A.
Barber, in fact, in which time we discussed our love of The Giants, and his new baby girl, and various television shows that we both enjoy, and his fear that our boss hadn't noticed all of his hard work.
How'd that work out for you, by the way, huh? Okay, we cannot throw Antonio under the bus.
Claudia won't do it.
Right, even though you explained to her until you were blue in the face that this might be the only way to get her off? Mm-hmm, sure.
She wants to take the stand herself and tell the truth.
That idea makes bad ideas feel better.
No jury's gonna believe her.
Exactly, which is why we need a defense that is the truth and not something that just sounds like the truth.
So, imagine Cardoza planted the coke.
Yeah, or we could just show the jury an episode of a Mexican soap opera.
The only reason the cops found the drugs was because of the accident.
So Cardoza setup the accident? - Ding, ding, ding.
- The police are still looking for the hit-and-run.
The partial plate wasn't enough.
They had to have known the route that we were taking, or Maybe they followed us out of the club.
You know what? There might be surveillance cameras.
Okay, show me that the SUV was outside the club before you left, and I might believe you.
The white SUV was at the club that night and it did follow us.
- So you do care what I think.
- Only when you're wrong.
And Leo's tracked down the driver's name and address.
Which I'm sure you provided to the police.
- Mm.
- I'll drive.
Get a car! Luiz Delfino was the driver, and he's willing to talk in exchange for protection.
Whoa, no, no, no.
I'm not gonna give him a deal unless he talks.
Hey, it's your campaign we're trying to save here, Puff the Magic Dragon.
All right, listen.
Justin, you're gonna wanna hear what he has to say.
Tell us everything you know.
That guy from the band, Antonio, paid me.
He said he planted the coke too.
Antonio did it.
See, even when I'm lying, I'm telling the truth.
Okay, but why would Antonio frame Claudia? He told me there was another man.
- Cardoza.
- Paid him.
There's always another man.
From back home, he strong-armed Antonio, threatened.
He said he'd kill him if he didn't.
Yeah, we're gonna need a couple deals, maybe bodyguards for the rest of our lives.
Luiz, don't worry.
You're doing the right thing.
Ah, hi.
Haven't you had enough? Oh, come on, never.
Look at what we got for ya.
This is a sworn affidavit from the kid who intentionally hit the limo because he was paid to do it by a man that we can prove works for a Brazilian crime boss.
Seriously.
May I see the alleged affidavit? Yeah, um, okay, let's see this is for the clerk of court, uh, D.
A.
's office, and this is for you oh, no, no, no, sorry.
That's for the press.
- Um, ah, you.
- Here.
Does the city wish to continue with Claudia's trial in light of this new information? I can't make that determination.
- I need to talk with - Davidson, right.
Oh, say hi to your nuts for me.
And by the way, how does it feel to betray a friend? Screw you.
Not enough booze in the world.
Picked the wrong horse, buddy.
Happens to the best of us.
Good afternoon.
Robin.
Um, I told Leo to let me know when you arrived.
Yeah, and I asked him not to.
I can be very charming.
You told me that you don't have any children.
What have you heard? Is everything else you told me a lie? No.
I haven't spoken to my son in over ten years.
It's complicated.
Well, that's exactly what I did not want to hear.
I understand complicated, that's what I do.
That's what I am.
But damn, I'd love simple.
You know, I deserve a fairy tale.
And that is exactly what this was.
I'm just smart enough to know when to say the end.
Wh? You're bowing out? For what? I mean, you don't have a past or things you might not wanna share - in the first ten minutes? - I am bowing out because I know how this turns out.
I simply don't trust you.
So if you could please leave.
Please.
I hope you find what you're looking for.
No, you know, I don't.
Because you don't know how this turns out.
And up to and including this moment, neither do I.
I wanted to thank you so much for everything.
Well, they'll be officially dropping the charges within the hour.
Yeah, my partner's dealing with it right now.
And he's gonna get your passport back.
Just in time, thank you.
The news about Antonio were such a blow to everyone.
I've cancelled the tour.
- We're going home.
- I'm sorry.
Oh, what about Cardoza? I'll be careful, but I have to face my life and not run away from it.
Follow my heart, is that too preachy? - No corny, maybe.
- No.
What? I'm kidding.
Maybe not the best circumstances, but I'm so happy we met.
- Oh, me too.
Take care.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
- Take care.
Can I sing a song for you while we wait? You're the only audience I'm gonna get - in this beautiful theater.
- I would love that.
- Absolutely.
- Yes! What a treat.
- Wow.
- Ahh! This song is called Follow Your Heart.
- Seriously? - Do you speak Portuguese? - Uh, no.
- Then that's how it's called.
- Okay.
- It is about love.
Good night.
So the story is officially dead.
Looks like I'm off the hook.
Looks like it.
This is nice, right? What? This, us.
It feels good.
Are you asking or telling? Listen, I got some get out the vote dinners this week, you wanna be my date? Hold on.
Yeah, Justin Patrick.
Are you sure? I know.
Dude, I saw it, yes.
Well, it's great.
Well, it's better.
Water under the bridge.
Sure.
Uh, tonight's great.
