Reckless

Previously on Reckless...

Why did your wife divorce you?

Shelby likes money.

And he's rich, like... private jet rich.

Two dozen untraceable pistols.

Jamie: Max is my brother.

You banged the one nut job that's gotta sue the entire police department.

Been the same since you were yea high.

You did this.

I know you did.

Screw the settlement.

Let's fight.

Arliss?

Excuse me.

- Where's my husband? - I'm sorry?

Arliss Fulton, he's not in his room.

Is he okay?

Did something happen to him?

What?

The last time I checked, he was sleeping.

How could you not know where he is?

I mean, you don't just lose a patient!

Roy: So all he left was this note?

"I can't stay here. I'm sorry."

Six words.

And just like that, I lost him again.

Did I... do something wrong?

Did I say something?

Jamie...

You got him his freedom.

You did nothing wrong.

You know, your brother probably just needs some space.

It is a lot to sort out.

There was just something about

knowing I had family actually here.

I hear you.

You know...

Ever since my daughters moved upstate with their mom,

no day ever feels right.

And Thursdays,

those are the hardest.

Thursdays?

The girls and I, we had a tradition.

We'd go get big old ice cream cones

and walk to the softball fields.

Watch the city league games together.

Yeah... Thursdays.

Let's... go out to Sullivan's, Roy.

And get drunk and dive in the ocean.

We have a hearing tomorrow.

Or did you forget?

Sometimes I'd like to forget.

Me, too.

But listen...

I do have to do my homework.

My opposing counsel...

She is a bit of a shark.

And apparently, she has some new,

mysterious evidence to admit.

Oh, wouldn't you like to know what that is?

Thanks for coming, Roy.

Vi: Morning.

Were you expecting certified mail?

From a forensics lab?

Finally.

Lee Anne's drug test results.

I want to introduce this into evidence today.

Hold up. How?

I mean, even if the cops drugged her when they made the sex tape,

that was months ago.

Well, new tests on hair can find drug traces going back a year.

In theory, anyway.

Negative?

Yeah.

Jamie.

Lee Anne? What's wrong?

Lee Anne: Arliss.

He left the hospital.

He got home somehow and he's taken the truck.

Come here. Sit down.

Jamie, where could he have gone?

And why hasn't he called me?

I'm sure Arliss is fine.

Just stay here and get some rest.

He knows where to find you, okay?

Running around like... like your damn servant.

Look... I got work to do!

Pat: Listen to me.

Listen to me, I told you it's gotta be...

I've gotta have oxytocin.

Terry: I'll get you your pills, all right?

All right, fine.

Hey. Take a shower.

Pat: I need help to take a shower.

It's just an administrative hearing, but apparently...

- Daddy! - Hi, daddy!

Dec: There's a spot of sunshine, right there.

Hello, girls. Oh, my gosh.

Hello, Roy.

- Shelby. - Hi, daddy.

- Hey, darling. - Roy: I missed you little monkeys.

Give your dad some hugs.

Would you mind...

Uh, girls, why don't we go play in your daddy's office?

Remember he has that chair that spins around?

Yes! Me first!

Well, this is unexpected.

I have some... news, Roy.

And I wanted to tell you in person.

Nolan and I are getting married.

Married.

Okay.

Wow.

Congratulations, Shelby.

I will send you flowers.

You still like calla lilies, yes?

We were actually hoping to enlist your services as an attorney.

Get another lawyer for your prenup, Shelby.

Like, any other lawyer.

- In the world. - No.

No, it's a real estate contract dispute.

A man named Jim Westry sold Nolan his house just before he died,

and now Mr. Westry's heirs are disputing the sale.

Can you ask your father handle it?

This house is here in Charleston.

If Nolan wins the case,

we leave Columbia and we move into it.

You'll be able to see the girls as often as you want.

Look, I'm late.

Let me think about it, all right?

Judge Garner: Now, before we set a trial date,

for Lee Anne Marcus vs. The Charleston PD,

I'm told that, uh, Ms. Sawyer has a new piece of evidence to admit?

I apologize, Your Honor.

Nothing new to admit today.

Why, splendid, Ms. Sawyer.

You know what a huge fan I am of wasted time.

Uh, Your Honor...

I'd like to ask that you reconsider the city's motion to dismiss.

Your Honor, in the interest of not wasting time...

No, I'll hear arguments on the motion.

Go ahead, Mr. Rayder.

Roy: It's simple, Your Honor.

While Ms. Sawyer has claimed that

her client was drugged and assaulted by police,

she's never provided proof

that anything but consensual sexual activity took place.

There's no proof yet that my client was drugged,

but that doesn't mean she wasn't.

And the one witness that could allegedly corroborate

Ms. Marcus's claims never came forward.

And that woman from the police department who failed to come forward?

She had a change of heart only because she was promoted

within the very same police department she was set to testify against.

Opposing counsel can't seem to provide

viable evidence to support this lawsuit.

My client deserves her day in court and her shot at justice.

Judge Garner: You know what would've been music to my ears?

If you two would've settled this case.

But since you didn't,

I don't want to waste another few days reviewing this motion.

So I'm simply going to rule on it right now.

The motion is granted.

This case is dismissed.

What?

With prejudice.

But that prevents it from ever being refiled!

Well, that's the point, Ms. Sawyer.

You don't have a case here,

and I'm not gonna just stand by

while you scramble to find one.

Case of Lee Anne Marcus vs. the city of Charleston is dismissed.

Wait, Jamie...

Don't talk to me.

Where the hell have you been?

You scared me half to death.

I'm sorry. Okay?

I just had to get out of there.

I just wanted to get my head clear, that's all.

You got to go to the hospital.

I'm not gonna go back there.

I can go to the VA clinic;

they can treat me as an outpatient.

I'm... just relieved you're okay.

Look who turned up.

What is it? What's wrong?

I was just in court.

Roy renewed his motion to dismiss,

and...

The judge... granted it.

Motion to dismiss?

The case has been thrown out.

It's over.

What?

What are you talking about?

It can't be over.

We turned down a half a million dollar settlement to fight.

You're... you're just giving up?

No, I'm not giving up, Lee Anne.

I would never.
