The story so far
Everything you need before watchingMike Rezendes shows up at Mitchell Garabedian's cramped office an hour late for his appointment—or so he says. The lawyer barely looks up: he is busy, Sharon is out for coffee, and he will not be recorded in any way. He cannot show the sealed Church documents. He has already been hauled before the bar board. Mike argues the Globe still has power the Phoenix does not. Garabedian answers that the Church thinks in centuries, then tells him to call tomorrow.
