Rake (2014): Season 1, Episode 7 - Three Strikes - full transcript

Whose ass is cute?

Keegan Deane.

That man preys
on vulnerable women.

Oh, you remember
my boyfriend Bruce.

I always knew the other lawyers

didn't take me seriously.

But now that he's gone,

they don't even try to hide it.

I can't do it anymore, Keegan.

Do what?

My marriage.



- Can I have this?
- Yeah, sure.

Actually, no.

(Leanne) This pipe belonged
to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

(Both)
Mm.

Harry freaking Potter?

I know that
you know her cousin.

Angus.

I don't want to
hear things about you

from people like Deane.

The government
requests a garnishment

of Mr. Deane's wages,
at the highest rate possible.

Granted.

[Grunting]

Victor needs his money, Kee.



How's Carlotta doing?

- She's good.
- Yeah?

You got a name picked out
for the baby?

Maybe Keegan if it's a boy,

Keegan-iqua if it's a girl.

[Chuckles]
I like those.

I like those.

I got some money coming in.

I know I'm behind
a little bit, so--

It's a little too late
for that, man.

You know, I never wanted things
to play out like this.

How do you think I feel?

[Door opening]

Victor.

That's a man that knows

how to make an entrance there.

All you're missing
is a smoke machine, baby.

That was beautiful.

How you doing?
Everything good?

Would I be here if it was?

Hmm?

I'm sorry.

I know I missed a few payments.

- A few?
- Yeah.

How many other lines of credit

you got open around town?

Two.

(Both)
Four.

Not anymore.

Now it's just one.

I worked out a debt
consolidation plan

with all your other creditors.

We rolled everything
into one loan,

- held by me...
- Oh.

- 20 points a month.
- 20 points.

Call it
an inconvenience charge.

Victor, come on, man.

I-I got you out of that jam

with that shipping container
full of bootleg DVDs, huh?

I appreciated that.

And now I would appreciate
that you give Roy

4 grand a week every week

until we're square,
starting Friday.

Agreed?

Yeah, agreed.

Aah!

I said agreed!

- Your word means nothing.
- [Grunts]

You miss one payment,
and you're dead.

Okay.

[Groaning]

Hang around, think about it.

[Panting]

God!

I'm sorry.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Hold still.

Okay, okay.

[Screaming]

Mikki, it's me.

Hey, I need to see you
about something,

and it's urgent.

Assume you're not here
for the donuts.

Thank you, Paul.

Well?

What was I dragged all the way
down here for?

I know about you and my wife.

And?

Of course.

Why did I think
you would deny it?

Being confronted
by angry husbands

is almost a hobby of yours.

I have some questions
I want answered.

Oh, okay, well, great.

I'm in the business
of cross-examination,

so you're kind of playing

into my sweet spot,
Mr. Mayor.

But I don't think
you'll get very far.

I'm deeply concerned about you,

with some of the choices
you've been making.

I keep thinking,
maybe it's the city.

Maybe you need a fresh start
somewhere else,

a place where there aren't
as many temptations.

Give that some thought,
would you?

I'm worried about you, son.

I'm glad we had
this conversation, dad.

Don't ever
contact my wife again.

The issue is, she contacted me.

Maybe give her some attention,

and she won't feel the need.

Paul?

I don't suppose
you want to give me

a ride back to my place?

By all means.

I got it.

(Keegan)
Oh, come on.

Is this even Los Angeles?

Get out.

[Crows cawing]

_

(Scarlet) You can't go to school
on an empty stomach, Max.

You got to eat something.

He could eat his boogers.

(Ben) Boogers-- we're
all out of those.

Hey, how about some cereal?

Well, the boogers
are probably healthier.

Adam, Zoe, go comb your hair,

with a comb.

Here you go, baby.
There ya go.

Did you see this?

Yeah.

No wonder Rich was so happy
around the office lately.

You thinking what I'm thinking?

[Chuckles]
Moi?

Really?

You'd make a hell of a DA.

Think about it, babe.

This could be just the thing
to get you re-energized.

Maybe you're right.

[Gospel music] _

♪

Mmm, hey.

Hey. Get what you need

for old ache-o
en cabesa?

Oh, yeah, good to go.

You're sure you don't want
one of these?

Maybe at the meeting, yeah.

- There's this orchard out in Oak Park.
- Yeah?

They've got Braeburns, Mutsus,

Pippins, Gravensteins...

That's great.
That's great.

Let's go.
Spartans, Fijis.

They got Granny Smith,
Arkansas Blacks.

Used to be, the only
Arkansas blacks I knew

was my cousin's family
in Little Rock.

Some rotten apples
in that tree.

Let's just get
to the meeting, Reggie.

We can talk about apples
all you want.

You know, a wise man told me

even fruit can be
your higher power.

[Siren wailing]

Huh?
I wonder what they want.

[Grunts]

Keep your hands on the ground.

Hey, if this is
about my muffler--

Remain still, sir.
You're both under arrest.

(Reggie) - What for?
- For that.

[Slow country music]

♪

No, that's okay.
Thank you.

It's a little early
for some of us.

Ouch.

You should
see the other guy--

- Ow.
- Completely unscathed.

Mmm, so apparently

I had sex with my cousin Angus?

I know that he's your creation.

I just felt like his backstory

needed a little bit
of fleshing out.

Yeah, well, you certainly did
give it more flesh.

Did you have to do it while you

were talking to my boyfriend?

I could've told him
the truth, Mikki.

[Scoffs]
Oh.

I could've told him
there is no Angus.

That you were a prostitute...

- Oh, my God, really?
- ...that I was your client.

Am I missing anything?

Okay, why am I here?
What do you want?

[Sighs]

This IRS thing is killing me,

and causing me
great bodily harm.

So, what, you're asking me
for a loan?

No, I would never do that.

I just am hoping you could
talk to Harry Potter--

- David! David.
- David, David-- I know.

I'm sorry.
Just about the garnishment.

- I don't need a waiver.
- No, no, no.

I need a delay.
He could file a 1220.

It would help me
in the regional office.

Keegan, do you realize
all of the questions

- that that would bring up?
- It would be nothing for him.

Six months, that's all I need

to get my head
above water here.

This is important, Mikki.

I know how you feel
about David.

For you to even consider
asking a favor from him--

well...

How bad is it?

It's bad.

Is that Bloody Mary,
or is that bloody you?

[Snickers]

I can't tell.

[Chuckles]

Mikki, please.

I'll talk to him.

Thank you.

You're telling me this
is the only space

available in
the entire building?

It's the only space
available to us.

I told you what would happen
if we didn't replace

the Arthur Conan Doyle pipe.

I can't replace something
that's irreplaceable, Leanne.

Listen, I want you to
talk to the building manager.

- That guy likes you.
- Raghu?

He's the one who
put us down here.

Well, what did you do to him?

- Nothing.
- Exactly.

That's the problem right there.

I beg your pardon.

He's sexually attracted to you.

All right, Leanne,
you need to make

a little bit of an effort here.

Look what you're wearing, okay?

Relax a little bit.

If there was ever a crisis
that called

for a little bit of
a tight skirt, this is it.

You want me
to prostitute myself?

Yeah, yeah.

Listen, we all do what
or who we have to do.

It's called teamwork.

Reggie Jarvis,
your 10:30.

Says he's an old acquaintance.

Jarvis?
Doesn't ring a bell.

Hey, it's a three strikes case,
huh?

- Does he have cash?
- Yes, and it's 10:15.

What happened to your hand?

Don't worry about it.

Worry about
working this guy over.

We got to get out of here.

Show him your goodies.

You show him your goodies.

This has been going on
for quite some time now.

This firm will not tolerate

this sort of behavior.

So tell your clerical staff
and paralegals

and anyone else
you can think of.

Because whoever's
taking the law review

off my desk
needs to stop, okay?

Thank you.

Okay, moving on
to the PAC cell case.

[Inaudible whispering]

We've got another round
of depositions starting today.

Sorry, what was that?

What was what?

Go on.
PAC cell depositions?

(Ebell)
Hey, Ben.

I want to introduce our
new associate Ernst Hearn.

Great to be here.
Hello, everyone.

Oh, when did this happen?

I didn't even know
we were interviewing.

(Ebell)
We made the offer last week.

- Ben, he's a real blue chip.
- Hi. How are you?

Order of the Coif at BOLT,

Rhodes Scholar,
clerk for Chief Justice Roberts,

member of the Olympic
badminton team.

Is that even a thing?

On top of that,
he's got connections.

He's gonna bring new business
in the door.

Trust me, he's the future
of the firm.

(Ben)
Sir, nice to meet you.

How you doing?
I'm Carl.

You're fired.

Sorry?

I said you're fired.

Hey, Ben, what the hell?

(Ebell)
This kid's a catch.

I don't care
if he craps diamonds.

I own this firm.

I'm the future.

I do the hiring and the firing.

Get out.

What are you all looking at?

My father is still dead.

And you take my law review
one more time,

ass face,
you're out the door next.

Got it?

So you're charged with
being the getaway driver

in an armed robbery, huh?

You parked all the way
over here?

Witnesses said you
had the window down,

and you were eating an apple.

You had the ignition
turned off.

The door's over here.

Were you trying to get caught?

You don't remember me, do you?

Huh?

Today is the tomorrow that
you worried about yesterday,

so live in the now.

I-- Listen, I saw
your first conviction

was for dealing back
in the late '90s,

and that was a little
hazy time for me,

so if you and I
did some commerce--

I wasn't your coke dealer.

Cheviot Hills rec center,
March 2005.

Oh, yes, okay, okay.

Listen, I was just down there
for a couple of days.

Hey, man, the things that
you said

in that meeting?
Moving stuff, man.

I-- Man, I thought you were
talking right to me.

- Really?
- Definitely.

You're the one that said,
"All I get

from sitting on a pity pot

was a big ring
around my butt."

Right. Just get
off the pot, right?

I mean, it's kind of
a universal saying.

Hey, and I wasn't the only one
that you helped either.

My buddy, Earl A--

man, he dragged his wife
and his five kids

down to rock bottom.

And just when he thought
he was about to lose it all,

you know what
he started to think?

He started asking himself,

"What would Keegan D do?"

Hey, man, how's your sobriety?

- Me?
- Yeah.

- Good, it's tough though.
- Oh, yeah.

You know, you got the--
you know.

- Yeah.
- You get the highs and the lows.

It's up a step, down a step,
right?

Curve it around,
bring it over the backside.

How do you know this kid
in the car-- Mr. Lucas?

I'm Luke's sponsor.

We were on our way
to a meeting.

You know, I thought
he went in there

to get something
for his headache.

Would his testimony
support that account?

Definitely.

Reggie, people don't like
to take the blame

for this sort of thing.

He's on his ninth step,
making amends.

All right, well, given
your lousy parking choices

and his amends,
I think I can convince a jury

you were at the wrong place
at the wrong time.

I'd appreciate that.

You know, the last lawyer
wanted me to take the deal.

Yeah, what, 30 months,

and plead down
to a lesser charge?

Yeah, that's why I fired him.

I tell you something, Reggie,
the day we put somebody

in prison forever
for boosting a pack of gum,

is the day that we gave up
on the idea of civilization.

We send some kid to rot in jail

while we find new ways
to stuff the complexities

of life and the law
into little boxes?

And what's the bizarre
fascination with threes?

Yes, what's up with
all this stuff in threes?

- Strikes.
- Wishes.

Stooges, ridiculous.
Hey, hey.

There's no way
I'm taking that deal.

- Hell, no, you're not.
- Let's go to trial.

- Okay.
- All right, brother.

Where you going?

17 bus, what about you?

- Yeah, yeah, me too.
- Going downtown?

Actually going up,
but I took the 47.

You know, if you want
to get there express,

you want to take the 23.

- No, you don't.
- No?

No, you want to take the 21.

[Romantic music plays]

This is nice,
having lunch with you,

doing whatever
comes after with you.

_

Mm-hmm.

What is it?

It's like a part of you
is somewhere else,

and I want all of you here,

so that I can take all of you

somewhere else,
as in the bedroom.

Oh, uh, I'm so not smooth.

No, I start talking,
it's like quicksand.

No, no, I'm sorry.

I don't mean
to be distracted, David.

It's just got a text
from my study group.

Constitutional law
is kicking my butt.

Oh, yeah, I remember when
I was in constitutional law--

Okay, no.
You know what?

No, that's a total lie.

School is great.
I'm killing it.

This text, what's really
on my mind,

is my cousin Angus.

Oh?

There's some other things
that you should know

about him, and our mutual--

You know, I don't have to know

everything about your life
right now,

especially if you--
[Deep breath]

David.

Told myself
I wasn't going to sweat.

Um, especially if you
move in with me.

Move in with you?

Really?

Nah, I'm kidding.

- No?
- Of course, really.

What do you think?

Yes!

[Record scratches]

♪

Mm. Mm. Mm.

[Phone chimes]

[Panting]

_

We're still here?

So it would appear.

Stand up.

Turn around.

No, no, no, Leanne,
that's not gonna do it.

I need you to work this guy,
all right?

You know, this isn't Hollywood
or Bollywood.

You wouldn't wear that
on a damp night in Portland.

I've decided it's
not so bad down here.

It's quiet, once the ventilation
turns off.

No windows
means no distraction.

It's actually rather zen.

Are you high?

Quite possibly.

I'm surrounded
by cleaning fluids.

- Listen--
- No, you listen.

It's going to take a lot more
than cleaning fluids

to get me to offer myself up
to Raghu.

Okay.

I respect your decision.

- Are you Raghu?
- Yeah.

- I'm Keegan Deane.
- Oh, Mr. Deane.

I almost lost my job,

thanks to you and
that missing pipe.

You should lose your job.

I'm in the basement breathing in
cleaning solvents

and pissing in a bucket.

You don't deserve a room
or a bucket.

My practice is going through

a transitional phase right now.

- Oh, a transitional phase?
- That's right.

How many months has it been,
huh?

Scurrying from office to office,
like a vermin.

You've got
a nasty attitude, pal.

My assistant Leanne says
you're this charming man

with smiling eyes.

I don't even know
what that means.

Smiling... eyes?

Miss Leanne said smiling eyes?

Yeah, smiling eyes,
pillowy lips.

She hasn't stopped
talking about you

since we moved in the building.

Mr. Deane?

What?

Might this suggest
the possibility that Miss Leanne

is open to deepening
our acquaintanceship?

[Exhales]

Well, enter at
your own risk, pal.

I mean, she's
nothing but trouble.

First of all, she's English,
so she's, you know,

very uptight,
if you know what I mean.

- She's a virgin?
- Yeah.

Virgin-adjacent.
I got to go.

Oh, uh, Mr. Deane,
please tell me more.

I don't know what to tell you.

She's complicated,
sends a lot of mixed signals.

You know,
sometimes no means yes,

- sometimes no means maybe.
- I see.

To possess a woman
of that beauty,

it's worth the confusion.

Yeah, but is it worth
getting me a better office?

Because I'd like to help you,
Raghu, but you have me

in a very difficult
situation downstairs.

I'll fix it right now.

Thank you, Mr. Deane.
And-- and, Mr. Deane,

may Vishnu bless you
and smile upon you.

Yeah.

[Thud]

(Keegan) - Hey.
- [Chuckles]

Is this an office or a bunker?

Are you kidding me?
This is great.

Look at this.
It's, uh--

it's warm down here.
It's--

- it's temporary.
- Mm-hmm.

I came by to tell you
I took your advice,

and fired someone.

- Yeah?
- It felt fantastic.

It's like I can't wait
to fire somebody else.

I knew you had it in you, baby.

- That's great.
- Yeah.

So I got a job opening, so...

You asking me
to come work with you?

Hm? What?

No.

That's what it sounded like,
when you just--

Okay, I'm asking you.

That is a terrible idea.

I know, but what better way
to show I'm really in charge

than by hiring someone
as terrible as you?

I'd love to be a pawn
in your game of thrones,

Ben, but I think I got to pass.

Oh, come on.

Corporate law
doesn't get me wet.

There's no passion in it.

I can feel my soul being crushed
just talking about it.

How much is your soul
really worth?

I got you a good salary.

It'll help pay down your debts.

Hmm?
Buy some wheels.

Get an apartment
with an ocean view.

I like the view
from where I'm at.

Yeah, no, this is pretty sweet.

Hey, I get to work with
real people, you know?

Guys like--
guys like Reggie there,

not faceless corporations.

Reggie Jarvis,
accessory to armed robbery.

Where'd he come from?

I knew him in AA.

When the hell were you in AA?

There's a lot you
don't know about me.

It's what
keeps the mystery alive.

[Electricity surges]

No, no, no.

Leanne's boyfriend's
will fix it.

This wine is amazing, Gloria.

Ahh, a group of Chilean
trade officials

brought a case over for Marcus.

Ooh, did they bring some
of those sexy soccer players,

or is that more of
a Brazil thing?

Child, you drink
enough of this,

and even a Chilean
trade official

will start to look pretty sexy.

[Both laugh]

Mm. I am so glad
you called.

- We have to do this more often.
- I know.

But we're both so busy.

And I'm about to get busier.

Are you pregnant again?

Because if you are,
I will kill you

- and your skinny ass.
- No, no, no.

Don't laugh.

I'm thinking about
running for DA.

Maybe, potentially, possibly.

- It's crazy, right?
- Are you kidding?

No, you would make a great DA.

I think so too.

And I am sure that Marcus

will give you
a glowing endorsement.

- You are?
- Mm-hmm.

Because that would be huge.

I know he would do anything
he can for you,

unless he's busy doing anything
he can for his mistress.

But you and Marcus,
you seem so happy.

Are you sure?

Well, he hasn't owned up
to anything,

but I'm as sure as the hickey
I saw on his neck.

You don't get those
from kissing babies.

Gloria, I'm so sorry.

What are you gonna do?

Oh, I already did something.

But it was stupid,
and I don't plan

on doing it again.

Would you like the rest
of my salmon?

- No, thanks.
- Oh, okay.

I'll just leave it
for Marcus then.

[Opens drawer]

[Slams shut]

[Chuckles]
He loves salmon.

What incredibly douchey place

is Bruce taking you to?

Well, he is taking me to
a couples wellness retreat.

Oh, I see.

Just a matter of time till you

can't stand the sight
of this guy, Maddy.

You have no idea
how wrong you are.

I love looking at him,

deep into his eyes, very deep.

Oh, yeah, well,
it's all very sexy

until you get one too many
of his

chest hairs caught
in your teeth.

Boy, you have really thought
about this a lot.

I'm sorry you feel
so threatened

by how much of a thing
I have for Bruce.

I'll tell you what.

Let's do a little over,
under on your break-up date.

How about that?

Don't be ridiculous.

I give it a week.

Okay, I'll take the over,

and the on top,
and the from behind.

Bye, Kee.

Hmm.
Hey, excuse me.

I'm Reggie Jarvis's attorney,
Keegan Deane.

- Oh, yeah, hey.
- Yeah.

Do you mind if I talk to you
over here for just a second?

Sure.

- Yeah, it's Luke, right?
- Yeah.

I think I got everything.
I just want to review

your testimony before you
go up there on the stand.

Okay.

So, Luke, whose idea
was the robbery?

That was all me, man.
Reggie didn't know a thing.

You know, he thought he was
taking me to a meeting.

Right, right.
He's your sponsor.

Yeah, yeah, I mean,
he's like a big brother

and a priest
all rolled into one, you know?

And just to be clear,
you've never

been abused by
either of those, right?

Nah.

Okay, we're good.

Wait, wait, wait,
are you the Keegan

he talks about
from the program?

I'm--

There's probably a lot
of Keegans in the program.

No, no, no, the one that got up

and started singing
Amazing Grace

in the middle of their share?

Well, I felt it,
so I went with it.

- Oh, man.
- Yeah, so, listen.

You're gonna go in there,
and you're gonna

- tell the truth, right?
- That's right.

It was Reggie's idea
to rob the pharmacy,

and he offered to drive
the getaway vehicle.

- Objection, Your Honor.
- Yes?

Obviously, we weren't prepared
for this--

Overruled.
Sit down, Mr. Deane.

No further questions.

This might be a good time
for you to call

on that higher power
of yours, Reggie.

Like you used to say,

"Sometimes the most difficult
decision in life

is to know
which bridge to cross

and which one to burn."

[Scoffs]

Mr. Deane,
today, please.

Your Honor,
just a quick recess, please?

Ten minutes.

[Indistinct chatter]

Cross it, burn it,
I-I don't know

what you're talking about.

What do you want me to do?

Take the deal.

I'll be all right.

Lou, we'll take the 30 months.

Oh, no, that deal's
off the table.

We're going for life.

Life?

This guy thought they

were stopping off
for some Aspirin.

No deals for Keegan Deane.

That's straight from the Mayor.

Strike three.

Good luck.

Gracias.

You know, I could've met you
at your office.

I felt like a taco.
You sure you don't want one?

- They're great.
- Oh, I'm sure. Thanks.

You know they don't
allow fruit in jail?

Too easy to make pruno.

Yeah, how is booze made
in a toilet?

Well, it gets the job done,
but I tell you this.

I'm never gonna drink it again,

not even if they send me there
for the rest of my life.

You're not gonna have to.

All you gotta do is help me

destroy Luke's credibility.

I need secrets, his demons,

any skeletons in the closet,

everything you can give me.

I'd appreciate
some phone numbers too.

Hey, I can't give you
any of that.

What are you talking about?

Because the cornerstone
of the program is anonymity.

Oh, come on, Reggie.
Are you afraid of success?

This guy's gonna put you away.

Weren't you the one who said,

"What happens in AA
stays in AA?"

Stop telling me what I said.

Hey, look, my recovery
is the most important thing

in the world to me, and
I'm not gonna jeopardize that.

Enough of this
boy scout crap, Reggie.

You've got to break some rules.
Use your brain.

You've given me nothing
to use in court, pal.

You'll think of something.

Remember, sorrow looks back,

worry looks ahead, but faith?

Faith looks up.

I look up, I see a power line
with a pair of sneakers

hanging over the top.

Thank you.

[Whistling]

Oh, you whistle so beautifully,
Miss Leanne.

Please tell me you're here
to get a mop.

I was talking to your employer,
Mr. Deane,

and he said that you would

very much welcome
a social call.

Ah, he did, did he?

Yes, and I'm also hearing

that you thought
my eyes were smiling.

Excuse me?

I would very much like
to lay with you

to ease your loneliness.

That means we have intimacy.

We will have no such thing.

So by no, you mean
yes or maybe?

Ohh, Raghu!

Unless you want this mop buried
far up your back side,

I suggest you leave
this office immediately.

- Yeah, but Mr. Deane said--
- He lied!

He'll say anything
to get a better office.

Get out!
Out!

Tell Mr. Deane that he's
not getting another office.

And I would suggest
that you to treat men

in a very different way,
or you're going to

be virgin adjacent forever.

This is great, isn't it?

Hey, Mikki, why aren't you
calling me back, huh?

A text, anything, please?

I really need some help
from Potter, okay?

I'm just asking
for a little time, okay?

It would be easy for him
to do this.

Call me.

If you worked for me,
you could afford to drink

someplace much nicer than this.

You're awfully chipper.

Did you fire somebody else?

Not yet, but I can't wait
to do it again.

Guess what.
I talked to Scarlet.

She's decided to run for DA.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

I wish she'd run for mayor.

Barzmann's found a new way
of torturing me...

no more plea deals
for my clients.

I thought your guy's innocent.

My guy is so innocent
that he won't violate

the anonymity of an AA meeting,

even if it means
saving his own ass.

Anonymous is half the title.

Don't you start.

And the irony is,

if this guy'd stayed a drunk,

he'd be fine.

He had to listen to me,
turn his life around.

He turned his life around
by listening to you?

I mean, I guess it's not
such a bad idea, right?

You know, getting people to

not drink themselves to death.

But then they go and mess it up

by throwing in
all that quasi-religion.

You know, the buzz words

and the bad coffee
and the 12 steps.

Hey, there's that fixation
with threes again.

3 times 4 is 12.

Did you ever think about that?

Not since the fifth grade.

You better take it easy
on the bourbon, pal.

If the judge smells it on you,

it could be a malpractice case.

You know what?

- You're right about that.
- Meaning?

The only way
I'm gonna help Reggie

is by doing what I do best.

Screw myself.

The three strikes law,
what a fair and just

legal concept that is, right?

No more revolving doors
for these

habitual murderers,
and rapists, child molesters.

First strike, we're gonna
try and rehabilitate you.

Second strike, we're gonna
scare you straight,

and the third strike,
you're out.

That's it, for life.

And let's be honest.

We're not here
because of some violent,

dangerous career criminal
that we're gonna

all keep off the streets
of Los Angeles.

Reggie Jarvis
made some mistakes,

but he turned his life around.

In this case, he was just

in the wrong place
at the wrong time.

He's sitting in a parking lot

with the windows rolled down,

music on, munching an apple,

waiting to take a friend
to an AA meeting.

You're all here for one reason,

because this man
wouldn't accept a plea deal

for a third strike
for something that he didn't do.

Objection!

The jury will disregard
any mention

of plea negotiations.

That's not relevant here.

It's not relevant?

(Keegan)
What's not relevant about that?

This is a farce.

This is a game show,
is what this is.

Let's make a deal.
Remember that?

Let's make a deal.
Let's make a deal.

Remember "Out Of Order"?
Who's out of order?

Oh, is he doing Pacino?
You're doing Pacino.

You remember that movie?

You better reign it in,
Mr. Deane.

I'm only giving you one strike,
not three.

I'm surprised
it's not five strikes.

How many times did it take you
to pass the bar?

- Enough!
- How many times, lady,

did it take you
to pass the bar?

- Enough, Mr. Deane!
- Don't you be shy.

Tell the people!

That's it, you're in contempt!

She's an inspiration to us all.

If at first you don't succeed,
then try, try, try again...

(Ritsema) Do you want to
be escorted out of here?

And again, and again,
and again.

That's it! That's it!
I'm declaring a mistrial,

and you're in contempt.

- Bailiff?
- Bailiff.

I'm aware of your run-ins

with the Ethics Committee
of the State Bar.

Obviously, their slaps
on the wrist wasn't enough,

so I've got something else
for your wrists.

(Ritsema) - Cuff him.
- He already has.

(Ritsema)
Good-bye, Mr. Deane.

There's the Keegan I know!

(Ritsema)
Sit down, Mr. Jarvis.

Sorry.

Surrender fully to this moment
of being in labor.

- Aah!
- Just let it go.

- [Yelling]
- Let it all go. Good. Good.

And Maddy,
go towards the warmth.

Oh, the world's ready
for Maddy.

Oh, oh.
Oh, and your head's out.

You're being born.
You're born.

- Here's your baby.
- Oh, she's beautiful.

- Hold your baby.
- Oh, she is-- she's so--

Oh, now your baby's hungry.

Oh, you need
to nurse your baby.

- Here. Yeah.
- She needs that milk.

- She needs that milk.
- It's okay, you can do it.

You can do it, Maddy.
You can do it.

- Go ahead, that's it.
- Oh, it's gonna taste so good.

- Go ahead.
- Yes.

- Go on, that's it.
- [Gagging]

I'm-- I'm sorry, Bruce,

I can't take any more
of your nipple.

Oh, it's okay.

Okay, we can--

We could do a hot stone massage
then, right?

Yes, yes.
I'll prepare the stones.

We have basalt and marble.

Basalt and marble.

I think we should break up.

What?
I was feeling so close to you.

Are my past lives scaring you?

Because I can
push them back down.

No, it's not you
or your past lives, Bruce.

It's-- it's me.

No, no, no, sweetie.
No, not you.

You're an emanation of
the goddess, is what you are.

Actually, that's not true.
It's-- it's you.

You're super douchey,

and your breath
smells like lawn clippings,

and you have scratchy things
on the back of your feet.

You don't laugh at my jokes.

And I can't be with you
for another minute.

What?

I can stop drinking wheatgrass!

Deane?

[Sighs]

You don't have any interest
in joining me

for a drink, do you?

Let's go.

[All laughing and cheering]

Come on, ladies.

[All cheering]

Go, baby, go!

Whoo!

That's pretty good.

She's a natural.

- You got it, Lindsay!
- Oh, my God, no fair.

Go! Go!

Go!

[Laughter]

Come on, come on.
It's all right.

You know the only thing worse
than the three strikes law?

Don't say marriage.

Life sentence
for your first offense.

Yes!

Who wants a multiple orgasm?

Whoo!

I think it's fate.

Yeah?

You just out of jail.

Both: And her on her way!

[Laughs]

Mm.

You are a winner.

I'm thirsty.

- Thirsty.
- So thirsty. So thirsty.

All right,
I'll get you a drink.

(Keegan)
Here you go.

Got a little wine.

I thought you said
you were a lawyer.

I am.

Uh, this looks like it belongs

to an unemployed person,
or-- or a teacher.

Uh, well, it's--
it's a temporary situation.

Come on, let me show you

the north wing here
in the bedroom area.

Check out this.

This--
[Clears throat]

Maid service didn't come.
Unreliable.

Working on a legal case
right now, three strikes.

I-I should check on Lindsay.

- No, no, no.
- She's my maid of honor.

- I'm-- I'm her maid of honor.
- No, wait a second.

I had a great time.

Um, yeah.
Um, I'll call you.

Hey, no, no, no.

You don't have my number.

I sure hope Lindsay
isn't this superficial.

Yes, she is.
[Laughs]

Son of a--

[Rock music]

[Phone chimes]

Hey, Keeg.

Brought you some pink ladies.

Hey.

Hey, thank you
for what you did in court.

All right?

I'm sorry it sent you to jail.

It's fine.

I did a little networking
while I was in there.

All right,
when's my re-trial?

The judge-- she's gonna
set a new date, right?

Yeah, and when you go back,

you're going to have
a big advantage.

Prosecution's
played their hand.

Now, all we have to do
is find somebody

outside the program
who's going to take Luke down.

Great. When do we start?

- We?
- Yes.

No. No, no, no, Reggie.
There is no "We,"

not with the Mayor
riding my ass.

No, we got to find you
another attorney.

I don't want a new one,
not with our history.

Hey, hey, what's this?

Remember what you
told the group?

The spirit within you

is stronger than the spirit
you pour in you.

This spirit's pretty strong.

You know what, Keegan?
You just need a meeting, man.

- I got a meeting app, hold on.
- Put that thing away.

No, no, no, no, no,
it's simple.

No, Reggie,
you want to know the truth?

I'm not a meeting guy.

The reason I was there
was to get laid.

You were there for a woman?

Yeah, a pilot.

But when you were
in front of the group,

you were looking
right at me, man.

No, I was looking
right behind you--

Miss Friendly Skies.

No, no, everything you said,
the words,

they seemed like they were
coming from your heart.

Lower.

Sorry.

[Chuckles]
All right, you know what?

Here's your fee, Kee,
and you got my number

if you ever want to talk.

And what you did just now,

admitting the exact nature
of your wrongs?

You're working the steps.

You don't even know it.

[Scoffs]

Steps.

"Virgin adjacent"?

(Keegan)
I meant it as a compliment.

Well, it got us evicted.

Hey, Leanne, come on.

I can't work out on the street.

Really?
The street seems like

a perfect place
for a pimp like you.
