The Good Wife (2009–2016): Season 2, Episode 23 - Closing Arguments - full transcript

Thank you, Your Honor.

And I'd like to thank you
for your patience and your attention.

Now it's time for you
to go into that room and judge.

So let's hear the facts.

Jake Rickter.

Family man, business owner.

You've probably seen
his wife and child here

throughout the trial.

So why is Jake on trial
for first-degree murder?

Jake's 9-year-old son died
during routine oral surgery,

and a heartbroken Jake decided
to sue.



That's all.

Jake came to our firm,
and we helped him sue the dentist.

That was a year ago.

And, as you know,

that suit was adjudicated
by Judge Philip Ellerbee.

Judge Ellerbee decided
against Jake.

That's where all this would've ended,
except two months later,

Judge Ellerbee was found
stabbed to death in his home.

Now, why do I find myself
showing you these crime-scene photos

even more than the State's Attorney?

Because I think this murder cries out
for justice.

But instead, Glenn Childs,
knowing his term as State's Attorney

would be over in two days...

- Objection.
- Sustained.



As has been testified to previously,

Judge Ellerbee was wearing
both gloves that night,

but as you can see
in the prosecutor's own photos,

there is one missing.
Police can't locate it.

Glenn Childs can't locate it.

Now, you've heard testimony
from our expert witness

that, given the direction
of the knife attack,

this glove would most certainly have
the killer's blood on it.

And yet the one piece of evidence

that could've led to exoneration
is gone.

Why?

You've also heard testimony
that Judge Ellerbee was involved

in several other
controversial decisions

and has a multitude of enemies.

And yet Mr. Childs here
would have you believe...

Oh, hey. How did it go?

Will is doing well, but I don't know.
I think we only have one juror.

- Juror number two.
- Yes, it's hard.

People wanna blame someone
for a judge killing.

Oh, when you get a chance,
we need to talk.

- About?
- Nothing bad.

We're expanding.

And I think you should consider
taking on a bigger role.

- What role?
- We'll talk.

Heading up to the 30th.
More office space.

Hi, Owen. How is parenting?

Ugh. It is rough.

- What are you watching?
- I'm working hard.

Have you seen reality TV
during the day?

It is so... I don't know,
like Last Days of Pompeii.

- More on the Rickman trial?
- Will's office?

- No. I'll take it.
- So, hey, we decided on Italian.

Tonight at 6. Are you free?

I will be by then. Where?

Johnnies, 6:00?

Okay, I will see you then.

Oh, and, Owen,
thank you, by the way.

Oh, no, come on. You're my big sis.

And you know what?
Don't worry, they seem fine.

- Really?
- Yeah. You and I were catatonic

when Mom and Dad split.

So you're not telling anyone.

About the separation?

- No, not yet.
- Not even Will?

Uh... That was a joke, Alicia. Hello?

Uh...

Owen,
I'm gonna have to call you back.

Courtney.

Courtney.

Get Diane.

Tell her it's urgent.

- I'm on it.
- Got it.

Hey.

Look.

- Okay, don't move.
- I'm not.

- It came in that envelope?
- Yes.

- Keep your fingers where they are.
- I am.

- Courtney is getting Diane.
- Anybody else touch it?

- The glove or the envelope?
- The glove.

No. I didn't even touch it.
It just slipped right out.

Sophia Russo.

Hey, it's me. Look, when do you start
at the State Attorney's office?

Why?
You wanna come work for me?

Does your firm still run
DNA testing?

- Yeah, why?
- We need to hire you for a few days,

but you need to come here right now.
My next call is to the police.

- Where?
- Lockhart Gardner, 27th floor.

Okay.

And give me ten minutes
before you call the cops.

Head out now.

- Who was that?
- A friend.

That's probably Will.

Jury instruction just ended.

- Yeah?
- Is Alicia there?

She can't talk right now.

Just tell her...

I'll call her later.

Where's the candidate's head
about this?

Running again?
He's not there yet.

He wants to make a good show
at the State's Attorney's office.

Good. He shouldn't think
about any of this. That's our job.

And yours.

In the meantime, Eli,
make yourself comfortable.

Democratic Committee takes care
of its own.

Good. I like being taken care of.

We have some law firms

who will give you
office space and a salary.

To get you paid
between the campaigns.

And you need to take this time
to think state-wide.

Illinois is more conservative
than you might think.

We'll need Peter at family events.

With his kids, his wife.
Especially the wife.

You should see the polling
on Mrs. Florrick after her interview.

I don't think she's gonna wanna get
too involved again.

Heh, heh, heh. Oh, I don't think
that's her choice, is it?

Look, without her, Peter is a john
who overpaid for a prostitute.

With her, he's Kennedy.

And now we leave it in your hands.

If you have any questions,
Petie will be at your door.

Thank you.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

I don't wanna lose them.

No matter what the jury does,
we'll appeal.

A kid should make it easier.

It just makes it harder.

I'll call you tonight.

Hey, what's wrong?

Where? No, I'll come to you.
Just give me 20 minutes.

This is a tough one.
You have no chain of custody.

It could be a prank.

Or it could be someone
from the police department,

- didn't like the way this went down.
- A whistle-blower?

Yeah.
When the State's Attorney's office

is in transition, anything goes.

What's going on? I got eight calls.

Yeah. We have an issue here.

The glove. It was sent to our office.

- What?
- The judge's glove.

It's sitting on Alicia's desk right now.

l... Who sent it?

We don't know.
We phoned the police.

They're a few minutes away.
Get to the judge.

They'll say we created it. They'll say
there's no chain of custody.

I know. Get to the judge.

One second.

Wait one second.

Guys, just give us one minute,
please.

Thanks.

Jake, I'm sorry to ask you this,
but I don't have time to be diplomatic.

Is there a chance
your blood is on the missing glove?

The what?

The bloody glove.

There's a chance we have it.

Could your blood be on it?

No.

No.

Okay. I just needed to ask.

What's going on?

If hypothetically we were worried
about evidence collection here?

With the blood?

Yes. Not that it will be lost,

but the crime lab is backlogged,

and they'll have no incentive
to rush this.

What are we thinking here?

What do you want me
to be thinking?

How long will it take your firm
to run DNA?

PRC testing? That's 24 hours.
It's gonna cost you.

And we need something to test.

And that memo is privileged
Lockhart-Gardner work product.

That memo
with the dried blood on it?

Mm-hm.

- Have you called the police?
- Yeah. They'll be here in seconds.

How many times...?

Your Honor, please, this is insane.

Ten minutes
after the jury is instructed?

I can't control
when evidence is sent to me, Glenn.

You can when you send it
to yourself.

- Oh, you're saying I created this?
- Absolutely.

- Okay.
- You're like 10 years old.

Yes, everybody is indignant.

Mr. Gardner has a point, Mr. Childs.

I myself have witnessed
prosecutorial misconduct.

- Meaning what, Your Honor?
- But, Mr. Gardner,

- the jury is deliberating.
- Yes. And we would ask for a mistrial.

We were not given access

to exculpatory evidence.
A clear Brady Violation.

It's not our evidence.
We don't know what it is.

Thank you, everyone.

Mr. Gardner,
your motion for a mistrial is denied.

But bring me proof
that this glove is the glove,

that it has been purposefully
kept from you

or that it has some probative impact,
and I will reconsider.

- Thank you.
- Thank you, Your Honor.

Mr. Gardner, I'm your friend here.

You won't have many friends
in appellate court.

- I know.
- No, I don't think you do.

Judges protect their own.

They won't be tempted
to reverse a guilty verdict.

What do you suggest?

Well, if I were in a suggesting mood,

I would suggest
that you use your time wisely.

Because when that jury comes in,
it's out of my hands.

Thank you, Your Honor.

We have until the jury comes in.

Well, to say the least, we've had
a dramatic turn of events recently,

so we're having the blood
on the glove tested independently,

and we should have the results
tomorrow.

In the meantime, three prongs.

Keep tabs on the jury's progress.

When the jury comes in,
the clock runs out.

- I'm on it. I know the sheriff.
- Good.

The second prong:

The State's Attorney.
He can stop this case

based on new evidence,
but Glenn Childs won't.

It's his swan song.

So we need to get
to the new State's Attorney,

and prep him
on Childs' intransigence.

I'll talk to him.
I'm at the courthouse anyway.

Good. The third prong:
Who is the whistle-blower?

Police said they would check
the fingerprints on the envelope,

but given the usual crime-lab delays,
I wouldn't expect anything fast.

So how did this envelope get to us?

It's not the envelope.

What?

The envelope the police collected
is not the envelope.

What do you mean?

Bob,
the delivery pouch for Will Gardner.

Did you open it?

The one an hour ago?

Yeah, why?

Where is it?

Well,
you just can't stay away, can you?

- Test it for prints?
- Sure.

Why not? You want me to do some
random urine testing while I'm at it?

No. But it's a long day yet.

Hey. You still get a drink after work?

Do I?

Yeah.

Where?

Hey, good job on the envelope.

I'm headed to the courthouse.
Going through suspects?

Yes. Trying to find DNA
to compare with the glove.

But, Will...?

Yes?

- Ride down with me.
- Oh.

- When you talk to Peter...
- Don't worry. We'll be fine.

No, no, I know. It's just...

There might be tension.
I just don't want you to be unprepared.

For?

We've been having some troubles.

Oh.

- I'm sorry.
- No, no, don't be.

It's a long time coming.

Alicia, I'm sorry.

- He thinks...?
- No.

It's nothing. I'm over-worrying it.

It will be fine.

You all right?

We'll talk.

I have to look through some cases.

The Democratic Committee
has given me

my pick of Chicago firms to set up
my political consulting shingle,

but I know you're expanding here.

I also know
that one of your most valuable clients,

Patric Edelstein,
took his lobbying business

to Graybridge Associates
because you had nothing in-house.

You're offering your services?

I'm offering you the chance
to vie for my services.

Really?

And why do we warrant
this largesse?

I think of you and Will as family.

This is confidential,

but I want to run
my first campaign in-house from here.

Peter Florrick for governor.

With Mrs. Florrick here,
it feels like the perfect fit.

Yes.

A strangely perfect fit.

Okay, these are our suspects.

Every civil case Judge Ellerbee
presided over in the last five years.

It's too much DNA to collect,
so we need to prioritize.

Him. Sal Barberini.

His construction business lost
a federal bid.

He sued.
Judge Ellerbee decided against him.

And?

And Barberini has a history
of violence.

- Criminal record?
- No.

Okay. I'll get to him,
see if I can get a DNA sample.

Hey, did you get anything?

You got two sets of prints
on the envelope.

- Two with IAFIS matches?
- Yeah.

One is an ex-con
and the other is ex-military.

- No cops?
- No.

Either your whistle-blower
was wearing gloves

or he's an ex-con or ex-military.

I'm not here.

You're not here.

I'm not here officially.

Yes, but you will be here.

All I'm saying
is this case was mishandled.

Childs wants to go out with a bang
so he's not thinking rationally.

What is rationally?

Well, if there is other blood
on this judge's glove,

maybe it will point to the real killer.

- This glove wound up on your desk?
- Alicia's desk.

Oh. Alicia's desk.

I just find it odd that it should appear
at such an opportune moment.

It's not that opportune.
The jury is deliberating.

- Look, just so I'm clear...
- I think you're making yourself clear.

You're asking me
to get involved in a case

that might have been mishandled
by Childs.

Yes. And might embarrass him.

And I'm saying I'll look into it.

When I'm in office.

Mr. Florrick?

Yeah. Okay?

Things are good, right?

Good?

Yes. Why wouldn't they be?

I don't know.

Well, then they probably are.

How's Alicia?

Good.

She's doing well.

At work?

Yes.

It will be funny
to be on the opposite side in court.

It will.

But not laugh-out-Ioud funny.

Will.

You wanted me to tell you when
there was some sign from the jury.

Judge wants them
to work through dinner.

- Good.
- But they said they don't need dinner.

Got it. Thanks.

We've got a problem here.

Petie!

Serve them coffee.
Serve them lots of coffee.

Why?
You wanna keep them awake?

The jury is coming in soon.
We're running out of time.

- Where are you?
- I'm talking to Sal Barberini.

- I'm in construction,
that I'm automatically mobbed up.

Will, let me call you back.

Italian Americans have contributed
to the backbone of America.

- This is the crap we get?
- I'm just asking you what you did

on the night of the judge's murder.

I told the cops already.

I don't hold a grudge.

What I did say is that I thought
the judge was a little disrespectful

for delaying court
because of a personal matter.

Joe DiMaggio, Italian American.

Bank of America, ever hear of that?
Started by Italian Americans.

What personal matters?

I don't know. Something
with his daughter and his family...

What are you?

- What?
- Persian?

What if I looked at you and said,
"Oh, yeah, she's a terrorist"?

No. I'm looking for a current address,
ma'am,

of an ex-convict
named Robert Clayton.

Robert. No.

Robert Clayton.

Um, Alicia, what are you looking for?

An ex-con whose fingerprints
are on the envelope.

Why?

- Bob, what's your last name?
- Clayton.

Why?

Why? What's the problem?
What did I do?

Oh, no.

Why not Buddhism?

Buddhists love the gays.

- Christians don't dislike gays.
- Oh, please,

talk about something
other than religion.

Here it comes.
The obligatory apology.

But, I mean, she works hard
because she has to work hard.

Hi, sis.

No, no, no, we understand.

Yeah, we're just...

Yes.
We will order you some pasta to go.

Oh, they're fine.
Just... Yeah, go save a life.

- Owen, look at you. Hello.
- Jackie?

Kids, look who it is.
It's your grandmother.

- What a... Oh, what a coincidence.
- Well, not really.

I must confess, this was our usual
Wednesday night dinner,

so I thought I'd come to see
if you were keeping the tradition alive.

- How nice.
- Grace, look at you.

You're so pretty.

Zach, taller and taller.

Would you mind if I join you
for a brief second...?

Sure. Of course.

Kalinda got his DNA,

but she doesn't think
Sal Barberini did it.

Really? Construction, Italian.
Did she talk to him?

Yes. Also one of the two sets of prints
on the envelope,

- they came from our mailroom.
- They what?

Yes.
Did you know we have a sex offender

in our mailroom?
The baritone at the Christmas party.

I...

Okay, I can't process that just yet.

I'm at the door.

I just saw one go in.
Ask me about the case.

Oh, the case.
Yeah, how is Jake doing?

Jake Rickter? Good.

He's optimistic
now that we have a new suspect.

Oh, really? Uh-huh.

That's good to know.

He needed a break,
and this missing glove is it.

Now,
we just need to compare the DNA...

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry...

- Your Honor, but this is ridiculous.
- A juror overheard my remarks.

I'm admitting a problem.

A problem of your own making.
He wants to eject this juror

so the jury
will have to start deliberations again.

Are you paranoid?
Sometimes things just happen.

Even given that, Mr. Childs,

I don't know what other option I have

- than to replace him with an alternate.
- We urge Your Honor

- to sanction Mr. Gardner.
- I will resist that temptation.

But I do understand
that there was a second juror

in a bathroom stall.

You didn't know that, Mr. Gardner?

- No, Your Honor.
- Petie.

And again, I apologize to this court,

but are we sure
the other juror overheard me?

Juror number two,
did you hear Mr. Gardner here

- discussing the case in the restroom?
- Yes, Your Honor.

Then, regrettably,
I must excuse you, Juror Two.

Gentlemen,
we will commence deliberations

- tomorrow with the two alternates.
- Thank you, Your Honor.

My, my, you got here fast.
Is it raining?

No.

- You got something on the DNA?
- Yeah.

Preliminary PCR reports on the blood
on the glove.

Not my problem.
How do you like mysteries?

Not much.

You're no fun. Who are your suspects
for killing this judge?

- They're mostly men, right?
- Yeah, why?

That's too bad.

DNA is female.

Look, it might mean nothing,

but we think this DNA
could possibly lead to the killer.

Oh, my God.

I just don't want you
to get your hopes up.

Why not?

What do you want me to do
with my hopes?

The jury starts deliberating tomorrow
with alternates.

So we bought some time.

Once it goes to appeals,
it gets more difficult, okay?

- Did you see your son tonight?
- Yeah.

Danny won a spelling bee.

- Really?
- He's smarter than I am.

And stronger.

And I...

I don't know what I would do
if my dad were in prison.

I definitely wouldn't be winning
any spelling bees.

Work?

- Yeah.
- Mm. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

You used to be more fun.

Yeah.

Maybe it was me.

Maybe I was the one
that was more fun.

No, no, no.

It was me.

Miss me?

Now you gotta kiss me.

Now it's mine.

Yeah.

Yeah.

When?

Okay. No, I'll be there.

Love you.

I have an hour.

Who was that?

My husband.
I have to go pick him up at the airport.

He was calling to remind me.

I didn't know you were married.

Yes, you did.

No, I didn't.

Kalinda, at the State's Attorney's
office, I showed you his picture.

Griffin. At the North Korean border.

What? Kalinda, he's not gonna
come find you and shoot you.

I have to go to work.

Did you become born-again
or something?

No, I...

I have to go to work.

Okay.

Kalinda.

Okay, where are we on suspects?

Well, on the case, nowhere.
But I think we should look

- outside of them.
- Outside of them meaning?

Well, Barberini mentioned

how Judge Ellerbee
kept interrupting the case.

A family emergency,
something to do with his daughter.

I checked. She's in rehab in Arizona.

So not cases? Family problems?

Maybe. Ellerbee went down to see her,
but she wouldn't see him.

- Why?
- I don't know.

- A month before he was killed.
- At least it fits with the female DNA.

We're not finding cases
with disgruntled females.

- Not the time of the murder.
- Where is the daughter?

- In town.
- Then you two go question her.

Um...

Well, actually,
Alicia is on the military fingerprints

- on the envelope.
- We traced them

to the post office two blocks
from the State's Attorney's office.

Great. So we think
the whistle-blower was an ASA?

- I was gonna go check.
- No, I'll take that.

You two go question the daughter.

Attention. This week,

both the family group sessions
will be...

- Miss Ellerbee, we wanted...
- We just...

- We just wanted to quest...
- We're just...

Yeah?

My dad was just such a hypocrite.

Coming down to Phoenix
like he could change the world.

The only reason he sent me
to Arizona

is he didn't want his judge friends
knowing he had a junkie daughter.

The police question you
after the murder?

Oh, yeah. But I had an alibi.

- But you held a grudge, didn't you?
- No.

I hated the way everybody treated him
like a saint

when he was taking bribes
left and right.

Is your friend all right?

- Hello?
- Yeah. I'll be out in a second.

We have some blood
from the crime scene,

and we were hoping to exclude you
as a suspect.

- If we could take a swab from your...
- No.

It's non-intrusive.

My body is a temple.

And you're not getting anything
from it.

- No.
- The postal worker identified you.

A postal worker identified me

as the person
who brought him that envelope?

No. I showed him photos of ASAs.

And he recognized you as someone

who brought a package
to the post office that day.

That is an airtight case.

He said you would've received
a receipt just like this.

My guess is you still have it
unless you shredded it.

Just tell us,
who was trying to hide the glove?

- Childs?
- That's just kind of odd of me, isn't it?

Prosecuting Jake Rickter,
and at the same time,

I'm secretly slipping you information
to help free him?

An honored tradition, Cary.

The transition dump.

Every time
there's a State's Attorney turnover,

little skeletons in the closet
get kicked out the door

so they don't blow up
in the face of the new State's Attorney.

And excuse the mixed metaphor,
but sometimes they seem most apt.

Well, as flattering as this is...
Or maybe that's not the right word.

As offensive as this is,

I would never jeopardize
a job that I love

- and a case that I believe in.
- In the pursuit of truth?

I have a niece,

and I sent
her a University of Michigan T-shirt

in an envelope.
And that envelope was about...

It was about yay big.

That's why your postal worker saw me
and why you need to keep looking

- for your leaker.
- Come on, Cary, help us.

It is always a pleasure,
Miss Lockhart.

Sorry to keep you waiting.
What a day.

We found the daughter's works,

and we're comparing the blood
on the syringe with the DNA but...

- You don't think it will pan out?
- I don't know.

The daughter was talking
about her dad taking bribes,

and I'm wondering
if he was hiding something.

Well, good. Probably worth a look.

Please.

You have a good relationship
with Eli Gold, don't you?

- I do.
- I thought so.

I like him.

Me too.

We want you to liaison
with his department.

- His...?
- As part of our expansion.

We're thinking of bringing

his consultation and lobbying firm
in-house.

- Here?
- Yes.

And we want you to be the bridge
between the legal and the political.

You seem startled.

- It just seems so...
- Incestuous?

No. Sudden.

Oh, well... Ha, ha, ha.

The path to the corner office
is always sudden and incestuous.

Grab the chances when they come
because they don't come again.

Yes, I just...

- We've got a problem.
- Of course we do.

Jury called for the judge.
Lawyers are being called.

Looks like the verdict is in.

They're looking cocky.

Try cases
with husband and wife defendants.

We did. There are only eight
in the last five years.

You're right.
It was a mistake to get my hopes up.

We'll make this work.

Cases where Judge Ellerbee
recused himself.

- Look at them.
- What?

Yes. We've only looked at cases
that Judge Ellerbee presided over.

Look at the ones
he didn't preside over.

- The ones he recused himself from.
- Yes.

If there was a bribe involved,
somebody might have been angry

- that he dropped out.
- All rise.

- The court is now in session.
- Get going.

Honorable Suzanne Morris
presiding.

Thank you. Please be seated.

I understand we don't have a verdict,
Petie?

You just have a question.

Yes, Your Honor.

The jury would like a portion
of Judge Ellerbee's decision

in the civil case read to them.

- Any objection?
- No, Your Honor.

We need time.
We have a direction, but we need time.

Mr. Gardner?

Yes, Your Honor.

We would suggest to the court
that the whole transcript in context

is important
as an understanding of the case.

- You're kidding.
- And, therefore, we would ask

the whole transcript be read,
and not just a portion...

Your Honor, it's 186 pages.

In the service of justice.

We believe it's the very foundation
of our judicial system

as promulgated
by our founding fathers

that comprehensiveness
be chosen over...

...the opposite.

Okay.

In the name of comprehensiveness.

How's your reading voice, Petie?

One hundred and eighty-six pages.
How long will that take?

Three hours, maybe.

You have three hours.

Okay, Senka Park development suit.

Husband and wife defendant
lost a suit against the city.

Judge Ellerbee recused himself
for personal reasons.

He was visiting his daughter
in Arizona?

Defendants were
Mr. and Mrs. Gothard of Lincoln Park.

- We need to get her DNA.
- I'm on it.

- I have to run, Eli.
- You called me.

Yeah. Then catch up.

I thought you'd be happy.

- Bringing your business here?
- Yes.

It's a boost for the firm,
it's a boost for you.

You'll be my boss, Eli.

No, I won't.
That's not how it will work.

That is exactly how it will work.

No. You'll be a liaison, that's all.

You are so transparent, Eli.

- This is about Peter's campaign.
- What are you talking about?

He's gonna run for senate or governor
or something.

You don't just run for State's Attorney.
It's a stepping stone.

Okay, I'm not admitting anything.

But even if that were true,
this has nothing to do with that.

I got to bring my business somewhere,
this place has been good.

A profile from two years ago.
Mrs. Gothard was at a fertility clinic.

Can you get DNA
from a genetic test?

Yeah.

I'm not doing this, Eli.

You need to bring your business
somewhere else.

No.

Alicia,
I've deferred to you in many things,

but this is a business decision.

I'm bringing my consulting business
here because I think it's a good fit,

and you are going to be the liaison
because that is a good fit too.

Now you can find
any hidden agendas you want,

but I'm not changing
my business plan.

Hey, what's up?

Why aren't you returning my calls?

Oh, I've been busy.

Okay, all is forgiven.

- What's going on?
- Yeah. I have something for you.

Okay.

We found the DNA
that matched the blood on the glove.

Mrs. Angela Gothard.

She bribed Judge Ellerbee
in the Senka Park development suit.

He recused himself. She lost.

A $33-million settlement.

We have a jury deliberating.

- Yeah, on a botched case.
- That's a matter of opinion.

I think you'll find if you read this,
it's not.

You talk to Alicia?

Told her you slept with Peter?

You should read the file, Cary.

So you're freezing me out
because you talked to Alicia?

I'm not freezing you out.

Uh-huh.

This is the usual
warm and fuzzy Kalinda?

Read it, Cary.

It's the right thing to do.

All rise. Court is now in session.
Honorable Suzanne Morris presiding.

Thank you. Please be seated.

New evidence
in the form of DNA testing

has surfaced
in the Judge Ellerbee murder trial.

This evidence has led me to declare
a mistrial.

Yes!

And I would urge
the new State's Attorney

to reconsider prosecuting.

Come here.

It's nice.

Watch that man.

- God, I hate tequila.
- It's so good.

It's always the good girls, isn't it?

They're the ones
with the deep dark secrets.

Yeah.
Well, because we're catching up.

Two more, please.

Any time.

You and the women.

- What?
- You and the women.

Chicago's 16th
most eligible bachelor.

Yeah. Women like me
until they discover the real me.

Which is?

- You don't wanna know.
- Oh, come on.

I'm constantly spilling it.

What's the real you?

Uncontrollable bladder syndrome.

God.

You have a good laugh.

And Tammy?

What about Tammy?
How's Tammy?

My girlfriend?

I think she's in London.

She called me yesterday
after the closing arguments,

and her bags were packed.
I was supposed to rush over to see her

and convince her to stay and...

And?

I got the call about the glove.

We've always had bad timing,
haven't we?

We have.

What if we were to suddenly have
good timing just for an hour?

What would that look like?

I think

that would look
like an exceptional moment.

Ma'am?

All right.

Ma'am?

- Hi.
- Hi.

We need a room for the night.

Sorry, sir. We're completely booked.

There's no rooms?

Yes, sir. I'm sorry.

How is that possible?

Well, we have the
Burn Association Convention in town.

There's nothing?

Well, the Presidential suite.

But that's 7,800 a night.

And the name of your
personal butler is Jerome.

- Thanks.
- Have a good night.

No.

Come on.

Will...

Maybe...

Come on. Please, God.

One hour. That's all we want.

It's okay.

I'll go downstairs and get a new key.
Thirty seconds.

What?
