Matlock

Who are you and what do you want?

I have a criminal conspiracy,

which means your bosses at the D.O.J.

can't know about the case, Agent Gutierrez.

- What's the case? - A major law firm

hid a study that could have saved

hundreds of thousands of lives.

Emmalyn Belvin is the reason we know about it.

I guess this is me saying goodbye.

Hi, Eva. I thought the partners in charge

were arriving on Thursday.

I heard Senior's retiring.

We're defending Felix Dominguez.

The airline's saying Felix was under the influence

and failed to properly stabilize the ramp.

I need to confirm your team.

Seven days, eight hours,

32 minutes until the merger

We could start our own firm.

Lawrence and Kingston.

Who is this Kingston?

- I can't say. - You just said

that you and Olympia trust me.

Olympia floated the idea of me staying Matty Matlock.

And I would stay dead?

My father... he's been playing us.

There is no dementia. He knows.

The bank records you provided

for Howard Markston

and Eternal Glamour are fake.

He's been leading us down the wrong path.

He put the study back.

There is no crime.

No.

Senior doesn't get to disappear his crime. Not again.

Obviously, we were close.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent us off track with Debra Palmer.

So, we rebuild our case from the ground up.

Everything we had before the fake financials.

We know what happened and when.

We've got expense reports and emails.

We'll cobble together a case.

In four days?

We have no other choice.

And if we don't end up with enough evidence,

I'll go on the news shows,

Instagram, TikTok, YouTube.

This story'll be everywhere. I'll be everywhere.

And I will make sure that

your father will never have a single moment of peace

for the rest of his ever-loving life.

- Meet Madeleine Kingston. - Hm.

Come on. Let's put our case back together.

Here's what we know is true.

April 6th, 2010,

your father called and instructed you

to take the Wellbrexa study from discovery.

And he said he arranged a fire drill

so I could take it without swiping my key card.

No tracks.

While he was in Australia

with the Wellbrexa head honchos

and good old Deborah Palmer.

He took the company jet.

We know from the charter sheet

they refueled in Dallas.

Once they got to Sydney, Senior and Debra went to the opera box

with Dixie and her husband Keith,

the head of the Wellbrexa Board.

Dixie said she heard them talk about Milton.

In Milton, Massachusetts we got the journals

of the scientist who conducted the Wellbrexa study.

She wrote about a bag of cash she got to bury the study.

$350,000 delivered by the Wolf.

- That's the part we need to prove. - Yup.

We have to establish a money trail

between Senior and the Wolf.

You think Agent Gutierrez will still

- work with us? - Well...

...we could just bring her here to our show-and-tell.

I mean, we need someone besides Julian

to testify that the study was taken.

You two focus on the money trail.

It's time for me to reconnect with an old friend.

Morning, Sarah.

I saw you had an appointment this morning before court.

I will keep the case moving forward.

Great. Thanks. Um...

and also, wanted to apologize.

- Yesterday... - Was exactly what I needed.

I reorganized my priorities,

and I don't know when or how,

but I became the kind of Gen Z squish that I used to mock.

But the old Sarah is back.

And she's a 30-year-old millennial sniper.

- Stop! Freeze. - Oh. - Oh-oh. Oh.

The senior partners from Lamar and Olson and Jacobson Moore

are about to round the corner,

and you will not obstruct their view.

And, of course,

this is the floor that houses most of litigation.

And here is our new logo,

which will be officially unveiled at the closing.

Oh, dear.

That better not happen at the party.

It definitely will not.

This way.

Did you see that?

Oil and Gas Barb is a stone cold bitch.

Now, that is who I need to be working for.

I'm gonna ask Olympia for a recommendation.

Did you find out who the Reddit poster is since we last spoke?

- Five minutes ago? No, but I... - I don't need excuses.

I need the fuel truck driver ID'd.

The airline buried the fact

that there was another vehicle was there,

- probably to pin this on Felix. - I wasn't finished, chill out.

Sorry. The stress of the merger's been getting to me,

and you've also been calling since 5:00 a.m.

The post also mentioned

an old dude in a safety vest

who was yelling at the fuel truck driver...

a wing walker... so I got employee records.

Call Felix and have him come in.

He can help us comb through them.

I already did.

Hey, there, Emmalyn.

Emmalyn?

She doesn't want to talk to you. Beat it.

Use both feet.

Well...

I think there must be some mix-up.

I'm a friend of Emmalyn's from her former job.

Hey there, Barry.

I know exactly who you are, Matty Matlock,

and you're not getting anywhere near her.

Whoa, big fella. Holster your hound.

I come bearing biscuits.

Blueberry, Emmalyn's favorite.

And yours, hopefully, too, Mister...

Hank Sherbinger.

And if you think baked goods are enough to make up

for abandoning Emmalyn...

I know I've been distant,

but, uh, I have a good reason.

We know the reason.

You weren't a real friend to begin with.

Emmalyn was devastated after getting fired.

And did you come around with your biscuits then?

Did you pick her up off the floor?

No. You met her for one drink,

texted her a few times.

Toasted and ghosted.

My grandson was going through a hard time.

Emmalyn, I'm sorry.

Please?

Save it.

Emmalyn wants nothing to do

with anyone from Jacobson Moore.

The whole place is toxic.

Hank volunteers at assisted living homes.

He cleans up trash at the beach.

- That's so nice. - It not nice.

Nice would be finding dirt on this goody two-shoes.

Isn't there any other way we can get Belvin to come forward?

That doesn't ruin her relationship?

Don't you think if there were, I'd take it?

Hank's the gatekeeper.

- I just feel bad. - We don't have time to feel bad.

We have 36 hours

to get Belvin to walk into the D.O.J.

and testify that the document was taken.

How did it go with Alfie?

He's angry we said no to Joey.

He doesn't want to live in Georgia.

Well, it's just a backup plan. I mean, we're not going to jail.

Nothing will go wrong.

I just have to keep focused.

Hands on the wheel, eyes straight ahead.

All for Ellie.

What did you guys find?

We can put the Wolf in Dallas when Senior's plane landed there

to refuel on its way to Australia.

Well, I thought he was working for a security firm

- based out of Chicago back then. - He was,

but he was sent to Dallas to consult for AT&T.

We found a Getty image of him at a corporate party.

So, Senior must have met him on the ground

and handed off the cash to pay our scientist.

We just have to find a way to prove it.

Did you figure out how to get around Hank?

Oh, don't you worry about Hank Sherbinger.

He's going down. And his little dog, too.

Ooh, check your email.

Sarah and Hunter

spoke to Felix, and they tracked down our wing walker.

Let's hope he can help our case.

Oh, Felix

is definitely not to blame.

Eastridge Air is scapegoating him
