The Good Fight (2017) s06e08 Episode Script

1
Wake the fuck up, America!
This is where the war begins.
You wanted a war? You got it. Wake up!
This, this is ground zero.
They call it accelerationism.
Neo-Nazis and
white supremacists lighting
a match to the country's
racial tensions in order
to start a race war
and accelerate the breakup
of Western government.
Many point to the raid on Donald Trump's
Mar-a-Lago home as a flashpoint
that pushed accelerationism
into high gear, and some believe
the alt-right have decided
to take the fight to
It's weird to be seeing it
from up here. It's almost pretty.
Did you have trouble
getting from the garage?
No. Security took us
through the freight entrance.
Jay, are we okay here?
Sure. If it gets more dangerous
No, no, no, I mean about STR Laurie.
- Should I be looking for another job?
- What? No. Why?
I was just listening.
Everybody's setting up
lunch meetings, and look.
- Diane.
- Yeah?
Are we going bankrupt?
Are we What?
Everybody's working on their résumés.
Show me.
Look, guys, I like you two.
I-I-I like supporting
an African-American firm,
but this was supposed to be you and
- STR Laurie together.
- Mr. Gross,
it's still us and STR Laurie as a team.
Yeah, so why do I keep hearing that
the FBI is shutting them down,
and they're shedding
all their global offices?
No, no, no, they've only closed
their Russian offices.
We're still linked with Europe
and the Middle East.
Mr. Gross, uh, let us lay out
- our plan for you.
- I'm just so sick of the drama, you know?
Every time I think I have
a professional firm,
I get more fights. I mean, even you two.
Come on, who-who is
in charge over there?
It's-it's-it's zone defense,
Mr. Gross. You get us both.
No, no zone. One.
One person to praise,
and one person to blame.
Why don't you guys set up
a call with Todd, and, um,
we'll-we'll talk.
Well, that's not good.
This is just what he does.
I've been through this
ten times with him.
You and I need to get
our game plan in order.
People are confused by our confusion.
But there's no confusion.
I have seniority.
- I have the name.
- Yeah, well - Wait.
- The name only goes so far.
- We're past bowing down to your seniority.
Wait, wait. Excuse me.
You have another issue.
The rumor is we're closing.
The whole bullpen
is setting up interviews.
God. Then that-that becomes
a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Okay, okay, let's get
everybody together.
Well, I think they're ahead of you.
What's going on?
- Uh, got one.
- What?
Oh, my God.
Bullet holes.
One in your office, one here.
Oh, my God. Why?
- Racism.
- Anti-Semitism.
We're a Black law firm.
Yeah, and someone tried to kill my dad.
No. O-Okay, your dad's Eli Gold.
Everybody's trying
- to kill Eli Gold.
- Okay, but they were following me.
Let's not try to one-up each other.
Have you called the police?
Yes, they're on their way.
I would not have bought that
condo if I had known
this was gonna happen.
When will the FBI shut us down, Liz?
We're not being shut down.
Be straight with us!
Especially since we have not been paid
- for three weeks.
- Okay! Okay.
STR Laurie is being investigated.
Then they are investigating us.
- Not necessarily.
- Oh, come on, Liz.
Ship's going down.
Then the rats can leave.
Go.
Get out.
For those of you who don't leave,
gather your nerve and
your conviction and abide
- with me.
- What does that mean?
It means we have precious little time
before there's a feeding frenzy
for STR Laurie clients.
And you want to know the good news?
We have a head start.
This is a list of STR Laurie clients.
Split it up and make the calls.
No one is going to leave
our firm if we're growing.
So, don't think of STR Laurie's
troubles as a setback,
think of it as an opportunity.
The Lord is on my side.
I will not fear.
You know, some of us don't believe.
That's okay.
I have enough faith for all of us.
So, what do we tell the associates?
We tell them
In about two hours,
this town will wake up to the fact
that the STR Laurie clients
are up for grabs.
They will think we're down and out,
but they don't understand,
we heard the starter's pistol
before they did.
Julius is going around with a list
of STR Laurie clients that we want.
Split it up, call them,
bring them on board.
Today will determine our future.
And here's the prize,
every associate that brings in
an STR Laurie client,
will receive a bonus of $5,000.
Yes, that's right, Christmas comes early
this year, but hear this from me,
in about an hour,
our window will be narrowing
because the news will be out,
and everything will become
progressively harder.
Do you understand?
Yes.
- Are you serious?
- Yes.
We're offering you $5,000!
Do you understand?
Okay. Let's get to it.
Let's get to it.
Next time, can you check with me?
We can't afford that.
End of the day, we're either
broke, or we can afford it.
- When did this happen?
- No idea.
We found it today.
But you didn't hear it being fired?
No. Our guess is it was overnight.
We've been having a lot of calls
about gunfire in this area.
It's probably the protestors. Antifa.
Why Antifa? Why not the Proud Boys?
- Marissa.
- Because
we're arresting more Antifa
on the streets.
That's why, ma'am.
But the bullet's not
coming from the street.
- Yeah, how do you know?
- That's not the trajectory
of a bullet coming from the street.
That's the trajectory of a
bullet coming from over there.
You sound pretty certain.
It's his job.
Did you pull the bullet
out of that hole?
- No.
- Okay. Don't.
I'll have someone come here.
Might not be today.
We have another bullet hole on the 22nd.
Just hold tight for now.
He's not gonna do shit.
Do you see that office, like,
three down from the ledge?
- The corner office?
- Yeah. The window's open.
Two down, yeah.
Yeah, right?
- Do you have a minute?
- Sure. Why?
I need a white girl
to get me past security.
Reddick/Ri'Chard, may I help you?
Ri'Chard/Reddick, may I help you?
Hi, there.
Uh, my name is, uh Oh, goodness.
I'm so sorry.
Uh
- Yeah.
- Who are you here to see,
Mr. "Vespertiney-Kaleypark"?
Vespertine-Kalepark, yes. Uh
Them.
Ms. Reddick and Mr. Lane?
Are they expecting you?
I'm not sure.
I'm with the building management.
I'm here to, uh
Well, I'm doing an accident
report on the slip and fall.
The slip and fall? What slip and
Oh, you mean, from the roof?
I probably shouldn't
call it a slip and fall.
More like a-a long fall.
The transition will be seamless.
You won't be affected
at all on your end.
We have all your files.
We're familiar with all
your business dealings,
including the ones the IRS
doesn't know about.
That's a joke.
Hey, you two, walk back
and forth behind me.
Come on, come on. I need
this place to look busy.
Hi. It is great to connect.
I just wanted to start off
by saying that we are more than
apt to handle anything you need.
Don't worry about STR Laurie.
We can take this
to an international level, if you need.
- How's it going?
- 90% retention
of our clients, 30% of new
STR Laurie clients.
Ms. Reddick, sir.
There's an investigator here
from building management
about the man who fell from the roof.
- Okay, I can handle it.
- No, no.
I-I want to keep
the momentum up. Carmen?
Can you, uh, take this for us?
Oh, good, you're here,
thanks. It's John, right?
- No.
- That's right. John is on at nights.
Uh, they said you could help me
carry some boxes.
- No, I'm supposed to stay here.
- That's okay, I've got Jay.
I just got to get some stuff
from my office. They said
- I had to get it out today.
- What name
Yeah.
You're ridiculous.
- You think it's the corner?
- We'll find out.
- Doing a GSR wipe?
- Yup.
Looks like there might be
gunshot residue there.
Oh.
It's weird seeing us from the outside.
I spend six years in that
building, and it seems so small.
Want to look for a place for this?
Oh, yeah.
- Motion-detector surveillance?
- Yup.
I kind of miss this,
- investigating.
- I thought you liked being a lawyer.
I do. It's just
there's a lot of boredom, too.
Well, you can always do both.
Will you check the angle?
Good.
Uh, no, no, i-it's just
He fell last Saturday, right?
- Yes.
- And did you see it fall?
- No.
- Okay, well, he was on the roof,
- which is weird.
- Why is that weird?
I heard he was trying to hang a banner.
Okay, well, maybe weird's
not the right word.
He-he used a keycard
from this floor to get up there,
so
How do you know that?
Well, the company, it-it
keeps a record of, um
of all the card key uses.
Sorry
- You okay there?
- Oh, yeah. Here it is.
See, right there.
10:35. That's him
going through the door,
- the roof door.
- Okay.
Right. It's just that
the corpse on the
on the street, the card key
wasn't on him.
- Meaning?
- Someone from this floor
used their card key to get him
up there on the roof,
and that's that's
That's what?
Well, the parents are suing,
so that makes this law firm,
you know, liable.
I will be right back.
Do you mind waiting in there for me?
Oh, sure.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Do you have any snacks? I can
feel my blood sugar plummeting.
- So, we're being targeted?
- We're always being targeted.
What did the police say?
They said they'll be back
to gather the bullets.
Right, so, Jay, what do you suggest?
We put in a surveillance camera in case
someone comes back into the building.
I have it here on my cell phone,
and I'm connecting with
some people who can help me
find out more.
What people?
I'd rather not say until
I get more information.
- I'm meeting them tonight.
- What's wrong?
This building investigator.
I think he's not as stupid as he seems.
- Who's this?
- Someone that's, uh,
investigating the man
that fell from the roof.
Building management is being sued
for $18 million by the family,
and I think they're
trying to scapegoat us.
They said one of our card keys
let the activist on the roof.
Okay, let's not
let all this distract us.
How far up are we
on the STR Laurie clients?
We've got 50% committed.
Good. Let's just keep going
before something bad happens.
Thank you, gentlemen.
Stick around, I may need you later.
Oh, wonderful. This is all we need.
Diane!
Hello, David. What do you want?
Ah, it's just that I've
been gone for so long,
I thought I'd say hello.
Someone accidentally left a mop
in the door handles upstairs.
- We're busy, David.
- Well, I'll get right to it.
I wanted to do this myself.
STR Laurie is suing you
for breach of fiduciary duties.
We're going to court for an emergency
temporary restraining order
to stop you from stealing our clients.
Oh, come on, that's bullshit.
Remember that, Diane?
When Alicia and what-what's his name?
- Cary.
- Right. Happy times.
They tried to steal our clients.
Well, here we are again, déjà vu,
but this time, we're
coming for you, Diane.
Okay.
God, what an asshole.
You will not replace us!
You will not replace us!
These two.
They're the ones that shot at you.
These are the ones
who entered the building
across the street from your firm.
They're with the Michigan Army,
a neo-Nazi group intent
on starting a race war.
They've been targeting Black
universities and businesses.
That's why your law firm.
- What can I do?
- Come with us.
We're targeting Buck Burns,
a fundraiser for the Michigan Army.
Every Thursday, he parks
in the exact same parking lot,
outside a peach cannery,
to collect money
from the Michigan Army eastern chapters.
He enters the building
for just under five minutes.
That's how long we have
to pick the van lock
and hack his encrypted laptop.
This is a replica of his van.
Once we gain access to his account,
we'll need to insert this virus.
It will allow us to trace the funds
- back to the group's supporters.
- We think there might be
a congressman or two connected to him.
This is the team.
Do not exchange names.
You hack the computer, that's your job.
We know you have experience
with that at your firm.
There is the surveillance camera.
We'll use our vans as much as we can
to block it, but we
don't control the lot.
It will be broad daylight,
don't let it catch your face.
Okay.
- When are we doing this?
- Tomorrow.
At 2:00. You'll have all night
to practice the op.
Thank you.
Why are you thanking us?
We should be thanking you.
I've wanted a mission.
So, I understand everyone's
issued a card key,
but there's more?
Yeah, we keep four extra card keys
when guests want to use the restrooms.
Okay, and, um, do you know
Wait, there are only three.
- Yeah, three.
- Sorry, you just
said that there were four.
No, um three.
Carmen.
Hey, have you met this guy?
Yes, I have. Mr. Vesper-Parkalene.
Uh, Vespertine-Kalepark.
- I thought we were meeting in reception.
- We were.
I just, uh I thought
I'd look in here.
Well, do you mind coming with me?
Sure. It's just that we are missing
one card key, or-or is it "keycard"?
- Keycard.
- Yeah, right, thanks.
Uh, do you know where it is?
No.
Uh, someone must've taken it.
Okay.
Well, uh, we could use the
camera, the surveillance
- camera. Look at that?
- Nope.
Never worked. It's all for show.
Okay.
Too bad.
Who?
Come on, who?
I don't think she meant
to get someone killed.
Yes, but we can only address
our liability if you tell us
who took the keycard.
Does the surveillance camera work?
Yes.
This is from last Saturday,
about 11:23 a.m.
Oh Marissa.
O-Okay, um
Thanks, Jimmy.
- This is not good.
- She didn't know
that protestor would fall.
And this investigator, uh,
what does he want next?
He wants to talk to Diane.
- She witnessed the fall.
- Okay.
Well, let him talk to her,
but we will talk to Marissa.
- I can talk to her.
- No.
No, no, no. We will talk to her.
These are all the STR Laurie clients.
- Good luck.
- Wait a minute, Marissa.
We need you to take a few days off.
What? Why?
We're worried about a lawsuit
from the family of the protestor
who fell from the roof.
The investigator's coming after you.
You may need to hire yourself a lawyer.
- What?
- You let the protester on the roof.
- No, I didn't.
- All stand.
Her Honorable Carmella Romano presiding.
We will talk later, just
don't go back to the office.
And don't talk to anybody about
this. We're in enough trouble.
Mr. Cain, just this morning,
did you not make a series
of phone calls to our clients
telling them that STR Laurie
was failing?
Failing is a strong word. I
What word did you use? Please tell.
I might've said, uh
"in trouble", uh, "facing difficulties".
And we all know this is the kind
of poisonous slander
that can bring down
the mightiest of firms.
If Mr. Lee is finished, Your Honor,
- we have a few questions.
- Go ahead.
Mr. Cain, you spoke of difficulties that
STR Laurie was having. Can you speak
to the nature of these difficulties?
Objection. Relevance.
STR Laurie's difficulties are
completely relevant, Your Honor.
It's not smearing if
you're telling the truth.
I'm listening.
Mr. Cain,
wasn't a federal arrest warrant issued
for James Winston and Osman bin Ansari,
the managing partners of STR Laurie?
That is correct.
And isn't it your obligation
to let the clients know
about these events?
Well, as attorneys,
we have obligations to
- all our clients.
- And doesn't that
obligation trump
all fiduciary duties to STR Laurie?
Your Honor, this is
completely disingenuous.
These lawyers stole our client list
specifically to pick off
- our clients one by one.
- How can we steal
a client list that was
already shared with us?
Mr. Lee?
I because they are calculated.
They can be in the firm and steal
No, no, sir. This is not a legal buffet.
Either you are all one firm,
and you're suing for fiduciary
responsibility, or
you're separate, and you're suing
for tortious interference. Which is it?
I
Tortious interference.
I want to amend our complaint.
Your Honor, that requires
proof of intent.
Yes, thank you, I actually knew that.
Mr. Lee, can you prove intent?
I can. I will, later today.
Good. Then we'll all get
back together for round two.
One happy family.
What do you think he has?
Let's get Jay on this.
Go.
Three minutes, 30 seconds.
Come on now, man.
You're three seconds off. All right,
three minutes, 17 seconds.
Damn it!
Yup, his hacking software just
detected you. Let's go again.
- You're angry.
- No, I'm not. I'm just getting better.
It's okay. Use your anger.
Sometimes anger focuses the mind.
Shut up.
Yeah.
What's wrong?
Work.
I thought you liked work.
I do. I don't like
the way they talk to me,
like I'm a little girl.
- Well, tell them that.
- Yeah, and get fired.
Then come to Israel. We need lawyers.
What?
You'd be great there.
Shave my head and wear a wig.
Ah
- Prejudice much?
- Zev, I was there.
There's just as much misogyny
there as here, more really.
Is that the new Birthright technique?
Yes. Did it work?
- I was sitting here when he fell.
- Okay.
Uh-huh, and, um,
what could you see
from your vantage point?
I turned when I heard
the the sound, and then I
saw the
the victim before he
slid off the edge.
Oh. All right.
And, um, what were you
doing here at your desk?
Nothing.
You were just sitting there?
No, I was on the phone.
Oh, okay. Uh, with whom?
My doctor. His voice mail, actually.
Right. Okay.
Uh, what-what's his name?
- Is this important?
- I don't know.
Maybe. Could be.
What's his name?
Dr. Lyle Bettencourt.
All right, and, um
are you, uh
currently on any medication,
Ms. Lockhart?
This is needlessly invasive.
Well, one of the charges is-is that the
fallen protestor, uh,
could've been saved
before he fell from the, uh
wh-what do you call that?
Balustrade. No. He couldn't.
He was already dead.
- But you said you saw nothing.
- No.
I said I saw nothing of the fall,
but I did see that he was dead there.
Right. Okay.
Are you currently on any medication?
Again, this is needlessly invasive.
Well, you see, Dr. Bettencourt
works at a private
concierge clinic called
Mind Trip, and, um, well,
it-it-it deals in an experimental
treatment called PT-108.
Okay, I
think I'll call a halt to this
- right now.
- Well, just one more question.
No.
And you seem to have lost all your
awkwardness, "Kyle".
Well, when I get interested in a case,
it sharpens my mind.
Woops.
Uh, go ahead right in.
I'll-I'll be right with you.
- Diane?
- Lyle, hi.
Um, I need a favor.
I'm being questioned
in a case as a witness.
- Sounds serious.
- No.
No, it happens all the time.
The investigator
is suggesting that the PT-108
is affecting my judgment.
Can you send me anything
from my files to dispute that?
Sure.
Uh, the only thing is, I can't email
a patient's medical record.
I could, uh, bring it to you.
Uh, good. Uh, great.
But, um
Listen, um, not to the office.
Uh, wherever you like.
I'm with a patient right now,
but, um, later on tonight?
Yes. Uh, thank you.
9:00?
Uh, yes.
Uh, there's a bar downstairs.
Sounds good.
And in Jesus' name we pray, amen.
Come on in.
We're doing well downstairs?
42 new clients.
Good.
Thank you, Jesus.
Ri'Chard,
what do you get out of it?
Um what, prayer?
Yes.
God. Religion.
What does it do for you?
It doesn't do anything for me
because it's not transactional.
I pray because there is a God,
and he desires that I acknowledge Him.
And you get a sense of peace from it?
Yes.
I feel calmer.
Not always.
Sit down.
Oh, no, no, no,
I'm just, I'm just curious.
Oh, you're not religious?
No.
But I met someone who is.
Um, a Buddhist.
So
yeah, I'm
I'm interested.
Well, I don't know
what your friend feels,
but I like having
a straight line in my life.
Something constant.
Like, uh, the double line on a highway.
Keeps me from drifting.
I want to believe in God, but
I don't like the way God is used.
I know, but
people will always be bad.
Even without God,
they'll go on
hurting each other
and killing each other.
Do you want to pray with me?
No.
- Why?
- Well
Because
I don't believe,
so it would feel hypocritical.
You're gonna die.
Well, that's true.
And when you die,
you'll have to face the thought:
what does all this matter?
All the things I've done.
All the things I believed.
Eventually, it just comes down to
you and God.
Ri'Chard, um,
for the past three months,
I've been treated for depression
with a therapeutic called PT-108.
- What is that?
- It's a light hallucinogenic.
It's administered under the supervision
of a medical doctor,
but it is possible that this
slip-and-fall investigation
will use this treatment against us.
Has it impacted your
perception, your work?
No, it hasn't, and I'm gathering
medical records to prove that.
And I'm finished with the treatments,
so it won't be an issue moving forward.
Okay. Thank you for sharing.
And thank you.
Jay, we're having trouble
getting ahold of you.
Um, we need you to
look into Diane's court
work this past year.
Seconds away.
Why'd he park way out here all alone?
Five minutes. Go.
We're good.
Keep going. Four minutes left.
Jay, keep going.
- I am. Check under the tarp.
- Why?
I smell something. Do it.
Jesus.
A fertilizer bomb.
Keep going. I'll check with Renetta.
Yeah, the target has large explosives.
His destination is Wilson
Clayman, the Black university.
This isn't about draining
their accounts anymore. This is
about stopping an atrocity.
This sh-shit is fucked.
Chad, Greg. When he comes out,
knock him out, pull him
up in here. Jay, you can drive his van?
- Yes, sir.
- All right, let's do it.
You got a flat tire in the rear, buddy.
- What?
- Uh, flat tire in the rear.
Nail? I don't know.
What was that?
Whoa whoa, whoa, what
the hell are you d
Your Honor, I have evidence
that Reddick lawyers
intended to poach clients
away from STR Laurie
- all along.
- All right, let's see it.
STR Laurie was worried about how Reddick
was being managed. They asked me to
record their conversations.
- They asked me
- Objection, Your Honor!
to record their conversations
in their offices and hallway
Your Honor, they're-they're bugging us.
Which is our right. Read
your partnership agreement.
- Not with attorney-client privilege.
- Which we have not violated.
Hold on, everybody.
I will hear this evidence
and decide on its merit.
Let's just save all our objections
until after I've actually heard
Your Honor, this is unfair.
Welcome to America. Go ahead, Counselor.
I am the very model
of a modern Major-General ♪
Oh, oh, sorry.
Come on, we can do this together.
We only need the two of us.
And STR Laurie is more worried
about their overseas business than us.
- What about Ri'Chard?
- Do it without him.
I don't trust him. He's a snake.
Finally, a female-run firm.
Have you got the partner votes?
Barry would vote with me. Madeline, too,
if if she's paid enough.
I can talk to John.
Whatever the defendants
claim, Your Honor, they've
been trying to separate
from STR Laurie for years.
This FBI business is just a pretext.
This is tortious interference
right out of their own mouths.
Oh, come on, Ri'Chard,
let's just talk about it.
No. No, you've been planning
a coup all this time.
- Please.
- Conspiring behind my back.
Yeah, well, that was
directly after I found out
about your little vendetta
against my father,
which you failed to mention
when you told me that story.
In a moment of weakness,
I shared something with you
to gain your trust.
Yeah, well, it didn't fucking work.
Okay, okay, so you want
an all-female law firm?
Well, good luck with that.
Oh, come on, Ri'Chard,
you've been coming
after me since day one.
Only because you know nothing about
running a professional law firm.
Oh, unlike you, Mr. Brand.
I'll pray for you.
It's Ri'Chard. Does
your offer still stand?
It does. You sound upset.
I don't want to be
supervised by anybody.
Agree to that, and I'll agree
to run your firm.
Only until we get out
of our legal troubles.
But I don't want Liz
in on it. Just me.
- I'm sick of sharing power.
- Fine with us.
Uh-huh. Make it clear that I work alone.
No supervising by anyone.
We'll send over contracts today.
- Good.

Keep our clients happy,
and we'll make you rich.

Have you noticed
how they always get Italians
to play Jews?
Why not Jews?
I am so dedicated to them.
I'd do anything for that firm,
but did they give a shit?
Like Fauda.
Why does Hollywood
go for Lior Raz? I mean
look at this face. I can be a cop.
I got to go talk to them.
This is bullshit.
Question is L.A. or Israel?
What?
I think I know what happened.
I think I know what happened.
Problem with L.A. is that I don't drive.
I don't think you should be
doing this, Marissa.
Why not? I have a right
to see the evidence against me.
Come on. Please.
There.
Come on, that's definitely you.
Okay, give me a minute.
Make sure no one's coming.
Hey, hey, wait, wait, wait.
- It was my evil twin.
- What are you talking about?
That is your girlfriend, Mindy.
Oh, fuck.
- Who's Mindy?
- My girlfriend.
She looks exactly like me.
Well, you're still liable.
No. Mindy's not an employee,
so the card was stolen.
You're right.
Good luck with your lawsuit,
Mr. Vesper-scooter-lane.

the arguments from both sides,
and I'm prepared to rule
on plaintiff's request for a TRO
Mr. Lane?
Uh, yes, Your Honor?
I'm about to rule. You might
want to pay attention.
Uh, don't worry about me,
Your Honor. Please, proceed.
STR Laurie and Reddick & Associates
never severed their relationship,
and the partners of each owe
fiduciary duties to the other.
Mr. Lane, Mr. Cain,
that means you are in
breach, and accordingly
- Yes!
- Thank you, Your Honor, but STR Laurie
- would like to drop this suit.
- Mr. Lane,
you represent Reddick & Associates,
- not STR Laurie.
- Actually, I now
represent both, and STR Laurie
is dropping this suit.
No, it's not.
I'm here on behalf of STR Laurie.
You were but as of one minute ago.
Perhaps you'd like to have a look.
This is insane.
Yes, it is. And, uh, you're fired.
And then I said, "You're fired".
Yes! Ooh!
Oh, I wish I could've seen his face.
Oh! So
So, no overlords now.
Just the two of us.
Yes.
With offices in Dubai and
London.
What're we gonna do with all that?
Start cashing checks.
Well, all right, so we-we-we
need to reorganize.
Yeah, but not tonight.
Alexander shouldn't have wept.
He should've just gone to bed.
You're a good partner.
As are you.
Okay.

911. What's the address
of the emergency?
- 840 North Dearborn.
- And what is the emergency?
Someone's shooting at our building.
Stand by.
Where is Jay?
Now what?
We get all the information we can.
How do we do that?
How deep do you want to go?
I'm in.
We didn't plan this one,
so we have to improvise.
Improvise what?
Help Randy.
Where's my lawyer?
I want to see my lawyer.
Let me make a call!
The fuck is going on in here?
- Who's that?
- That's a neo-Nazi who shot
Democratic Committee Chair
Frank Landau in the head.
Oh, my God.
You have him?
- We caught him that night.
- How?
It wasn't that hard. We'd
been following him for weeks.
- What's he doing here?
- We're holding him.
- For the police?
- No.
When I get out of here,
I'm gonna bury you!
I think we should talk.
You hear me? You're done!
A few years ago,
my sister became frustrated
with the police and the courts.
She felt they weren't
serving the community needs.
You must feel the same.
The police were supposed to return today
to retrieve bullets from
your office. They did not.
My sister, frustrated,
started her own courtroom
in her living room.
- Vinetta.
- Vinetta Clark.
She's in jail today.
For six more months.
This operation is built on her work.
Vinetta's only problem was
she didn't think big enough.
Some wealthy men and women came together
and helped finance this.
Wh You're gonna prosecute them here?
No.
But we do need a lawyer
from your firm.
Why?
Good job.
Darker.
Holding cell number two.
We need information, and
we need your help getting it.
Where's my lawyer?
I want to see my lawyer.
Let me make a call!
Woops.
So, I-I must confess,
I didn't need those files after all.
Well, I must confess, there's
nothing in that envelope.
So, um
Doctor, this isn't improper?
Drinking together.
No, I'm not your doctor
anymore. But how are you?
I'm actually doing
really well,
and I still have your dorje.
Have you meditated?
No. I mean, it's just
it's just too hard at work.
And I don't know what I'd do with it.
Uh, calm your mind, find some peace.
Yeah.
My sense is that I
I don't want to find peace.
Yeah, why is that?
I don't know. It would
seem hypocritical,
feeling at peace when the world is so
not.
Maybe you need to be at peace
to work on the world.
You know, there's a-a
meditation center in Michigan.
Great Lakes Bay Reserve.
- You should go.
- Mm, I've been.
Really?
Yes, but not to meditate.
To, um to hunt.
You hunt?
Yes. Well, I
I did, and then a partner
at my firm got shot,
- and I so I-I stopped.
- Oh.
Sorry.
No. It's just there are too many
guns out there anyway.
Yeah, NRA.
They just don't give a damn
how many kids get killed.
Mm.
Who knows ♪
What time is gonna do ♪
All I know is the simple truth ♪
Are we getting more comfortable?
No. Those are some workmates, and
they can be nosy.
About your doctor?
Yes.
No, about everything.
Well, I know you're married,
Diane. I'm just
having a drink with you.
I know. It's-it's really not Ooh.
How long are we gonna stay like this?
Just I don't know,
just a few minutes.
Just pretend we're having
a casual conversation
with our faces pressed
into the couch.
This is normal. Oh, look.
Pretend we're looking
for the keys to the car.
Are they gone?
I don't know.
