The Good Fight (2017–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - Day 408 - full transcript

An unfortunate event brings the firm together, along with the prospect of a new name partner; Diane struggles to grapple with the insanity of the world; Maia is confronted with another hurdle in her parents' scandal.

[previously...]

Please raise your right
hand and repeat after me.

I, Donald John Trump,
do solemnly swear...

Glen, what's going on? Is it the house?

MALE REPORTER: Calling it a
multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme.

My retirement money...

Fuck.

Give it some time.

It's a bad time right now.

You're poison. No firm will hire you.

I called the fake news
the enemy of the people.



And they are. They are
the enemy of the people.

We stand in the face of
opposition fearlessly.

Now, that's what this
firm represents. Hmm?

- Okay, okay. We still have a firm to operate.
- [APPLAUSE]

Besides, we don't want to
exhaust our founding partner.

You also had people that were
very fine people on both sides.

Feels like something's
come detached, you know,

like a piece of machinery
that doesn't sound right.

The only constant we have is the law.

DIANE: I'm glad I'm here, Adrian.

ADRIAN: I'm glad
you're here, too, Diane.

There was absolutely no collusion.

Everybody knows it.

Bottom line, they all
say there's no collusion.



And there is no collusion.

- Hi, I'm Lucca Quinn.
- Hi.

- This is my client, Maia Rindell.
- Hi.

I'm Federal Agent Madeline Starkey.

And, uh, why don't we
have a seat and chat?

I think you knew about
your parent's Ponzi scheme.

And I'm going to recommend prosecution

by the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Maia Rindell.

Your dad fled.

You're under arrest.

I know, weird, huh?

I didn't plan this, by the way.

I just read the
announcement in the newspaper

and I wanted to pay my respects.

[CHUCKLES]

Okay, I can see your incredulity,

so let me admit, I was
hoping I'd see you here.

This isn't purely accidental.

You want to know why?

I felt guilty.

I was probably instrumental
in getting you arrested.

Sure, that's my job, to
find the needle of guilt

in the haystack of denials,

but I couldn't stop thinking
about you, Maia.

And I think you're a really good person.

And I have a suggestion.

Okay, this is what I want to do.

I know, I know. I'm irritating,

but I can't clear my conscience

without trying this.

Your trial is in six days.

You could go to prison for five years.

Now, what are you, 29 years old?

That is a bad stretch
of time to be in prison.

You know, when I was in
college, UC San Diego...

I went down to Tijuana
with some girl friends...

and they were put in jail

for a week,

and they were never the same again.

Never.

Do you mind?

Hmph!

This is what I suggest:

You tell me everything
you know about your father,

where he is, where he fled,

and I will prevail on the prosecutors

to drop the charges.

You will never have to go to prison.

Okay, I know what you're gonna say.

You're gonna say you don't
know where your dad is.

You have no idea.

But here's the thing,
I have some evidence.

And my guess is you
don't know what you know.

So tell me everything.

I probably deserve this.

Okay. Uh, I think you
should reconsider, Maia.

MADELINE [ON RECORDING]:
Okay, I know what you're gonna say.

You're gonna say you don't
know where your dad is.

You have no idea. But here's the thing,

I have some...

I have some evidence.

And my guess is you
don't know what you know.

- Did she show you the evidence?
- No.

It's probably bullshit,

but let's get a free peek.

Maybe we can use it at
trial, Brady violation.

- Do we trust her?
- No.

But we don't have to.

- [SIGHS]
- You okay?

No. Everything's
spinning out of control.

That's what it feels
like on the eve of trial.

But here's the good news:

they're not smarter than us.

So we still on for Monday?

- Uh, we are.
- Good.

Uh, Barack is worried about the suit.

It's a nuisance suit, Rod.

That is public trust land.

Yeah. I-I know, but we don't
want to big foot Cook County

to make way for the library.

We will move gently.

- [CHOIR BEGINS NEW SONG]
- All right. Yeah.

- We'd better find a seat.
- Yeah.

No, take your time.

You need the time.

- Ma'am.
- Uh, yeah.

I-I-I-I don't need the
time. I'm coming in.

Let's talk about it later.

Why does everybody want
to talk about things later?

Let's talk about it right now.

I need you to take a few
weeks out of the spotlight.

Let the other AUSAs handle your cases.

Then we'll slip you back
into the regular rotation.

Why?

You know why.

The tweet?

Like it or not, Trump
is our ultimate boss.

I thought you were our ultimate boss.

Yeah, and he's my boss,

and you called him a white supremacist.

- [QUIETLY]: Oh, my God.
- [SIGHS]

I just need you to stay out
of the rotation for a cycle.

COLIN: Diane.

Oh, Colin. How are you?

Good. Are you going to the funeral?

Yes. Um, can you support
me with a continuance?

Yeah. It's a new judge today.

Just appointed.
Shouldn't have a problem.

Thanks. I'm-I'm already quite late.

Mmm. It's terrible, isn't it?

I just saw him last week.

You did? Where?

On Lake Michigan, windsurfing.

- You saw Carl Reddick windsurfing?
- Yeah.

What? No. Roger Hill.

Reddick? Oh. Oh, that's right.

Uh, you're going to the Reddick funeral.

Yes, in ten minutes. Roger Hill is dead?

Yeah. Yeah.

Uh, yeah, he was
killed in a hit-and-run.

Oh, my God. Roger Hill
of Hill and Masters?

Yeah. He was crossing
LaSalle and a van just...

killed him instantly.

Oh, my God, that's awful.

Yeah, it makes you think, doesn't it?

He was 38.

- He was going through a divorce.
- Oh.

How's Lucca doing?

Lucca, oh, she's well.

She's on the partner track.

Oh. Tell her, uh, congratulations.

- I shall.
- SHERIFF FORD: All rise.

The court is now in session.

His Honor, Lyman, presiding.

Can we do something about these steps?

They're a little steep.

I will work on it, Your Honor.

HOWARD: And what's with
the air conditioning?

What'd you do, turn if off?

FORD: They're fixing it, Your Honor.

Course these-these
robes are like an oven.

Everybody can sit down.

Well, we have, um,

today, we have... What do we have today?

- FORD: Voir dire, Your Honor.
- Ah.

A quick motion, Your
Honor. Both counselors

would like to request a continuance.

What is all this stuff?

FORD: Um, your docket, Your Honor.

HOWARD: Oh, my docket.

Oh. Okay.

Howard.

- Hello.
- Oh, hi, Diane.

What do you think about all this?

Not bad for a kid from the Southside.

- Yes, quite surprising.
- What are you doing?

You look like you're going to a funeral.

Actually, yes, I am.

Th-th-this is the reason for
the continuance, Your Honor,

so counselor can attend this funeral.

Who's funeral, Hill's?

No, Carl Reddick's.

Carl "Hymietown" Reddick?

COLIN: Uh, again, we have no
issue with this continuance, so...

He and Jesse Jackson had quite a time

enjoying talking about "Hymietown."

That doesn't sound quite right, Howard.

Uh. Your Honor.

- Hmm?
- Your Honor.

Motion denied, Counselor.

We will deal with voir dire right now.

[SONG ENDS]

[SIGHS]

Carl Reddick was born

when Nazis were marching in the streets.

And he died when Nazis were
marching in the streets.

Every day of his life,

he fought against
aggression, totalitarianism,

ignorance.

Carl stood with Dr. King.

WOMAN [QUIETLY]: Yes, he did.

BARBARA: He stood on
the bridge at Selma.

I quake when I think of
the bravery that took.

And yet, I'm a partner at
a firm bearing his name...

[GASPS SOFTLY]

[VOICE BREAKING]
and I know I failed him.

He challenged us to use
the law as a force for good.

He saw we were becoming

obsessed with money, billable hours,

the pragmatic over the idealistic.

Damn.

What?

The Obama Library.

BARBARA: The law, for Carl,

- was a shining guide.
- I'll talk to him.

He knows it's just rhetoric.

BARBARA: It was hope.

It was a summit.

He saw that we were looking at the law

as a set of rules to be twisted.

The issues today are just as real

as the issues Carl faced,
maybe even more real.

And Carl Reddick would say to us,

"Please don't bury my ideals with me."

JULIUS: Mr. Habercore?

Julius. Amazing eulogy.

Yes, it was.

Made you think.

Uh, we're still on for
lunch Monday, right?

To discuss the, uh,
presidential library?

Well, um, actually,

do you mind if I give you a call?

Um... sure.

You know, Barbara will
be at the lunch, too.

She can discuss the ways

that we'll be living up to Carl's name.

That sounds good. I'll give you a call.

We're in trouble.

- Mr. Boseman, I just got a...
- Damn it.

Just, just... later. We
have an issue here, okay?

Come on.

Lucca, hi.

Ms. Starkey, how are you?

How is your fictional husband?

Oh, I've missed you.

And my fictional husband
says "Hello," by the way.

Hmm. I understand you've been conversing

with my client without my permission.

Well, actually, I was doing
most of the conversing.

She was a very good girl.
She didn't say a word.

- Oh. Good.
- Mm.

She also told me that
you offered her a deal.

Really? I'm not sure that's
exactly what happened.

MADELINE [ON RECORDING]: You tell me
everything you know about your dad.

You will never have to go to prison.

Mmm. Oh, my goodness, I
missed you two. [LAUGHS]

Oh, wait. There's one more part.

Oh, okay.

I have some evidence,

and my guess is you
don't know what you know.

So what evidence are
we talking about here?

Because the DOJ supposedly
gave us all their discovery.

Oh, no Brady violation. Oh, no.

This just fell into
our hands two days ago.

It's why I'm here.

And, of course, to pay my respects.

Oh, of course.

A surveillance camera from the Royal

World Bank of Dubai.

Have you ever been to Dubai?

[GASPS] Very strange place.

It must be what my ancestors felt

when they got off the boat in Manhattan.

And that's just an aside. [CHUCKLES]

Anyway,

this surveillance photo

was taken of a customer

withdrawing $1.2 million

from an account set up by your father,

Henry Rindell. Now,

Dubai was surveilling this
account, but, uh, they let

this person slip through their fingers.

We want to find her.

My guess is if we find
her, we'll find your father.

And if we find your
father, it helps both of us.

Bated breath, Ms. Starkey. Bated.

We'll need a moment with this.

ADRIAN: Hey, Barbara.

Barbara. Barbara.

What the hell was that?

- What the hell was what?
- Your speech. You're making it

sound like we're pissing all
over the man's grave, Barbara.

- No, I didn't.
- Yeah, you did.

Look, I know we're not perfect, Barbara,

but I spent four months
at Andrew Hart's firm.

You haven't seen dysfunction
till you've gone somewhere else.

What are you two worried about?

Uh, Habercore. The
Obama Library, Barbara.

JULIUS: He's not coming
to lunch on Monday.

- What are you talking about?
- ADRIAN: You talk to him, Barbara.

You tell him we are the
good guys. Now you tell him.

Where's Diane?

He's not my client. He's Diane's.

He's all of our client, Barbara.

[SIGHS]

- Where's Diane?
- Uh...

Oh.

- Oh, hey, uh...
- Marissa.

Right, Marissa.

Where is Diane?

Um...

Uh...

You know,

actually,

what was the question again?

Do you think you can
judge this case fairly?

Okay, here's the thing.

"Fairly" is one of those
words, you know, like "cold"

or "hot." It's open to interpretation.

Are you fair, ma'am?

With what?

Anything. Everything.

Well, I hope I am. I want to be...

Yes. Good. Accepted.

Yeah, we're fine here, too, Your Honor.

- I just have a few questions.
- Oh, dear God.

Something you wanted
to say, Ms. Lockhart?

No, Your Honor. I'm just standing here.

How are we doing with
that air conditioning?

They're still working on it, Your Honor.

So, let's talk about your job, miss.

Someone who...

No.

Rosalie.

Rosalie who?

Oh, I can't remember her last name.

Well, who was she?

She was my tennis coach.

No.

Uh, well, when was this?

12 years ago?

She was only with us for a few months.

Why?

MAIA: My parents

didn't want her to coach me anymore.

They thought...

They thought we were getting too close.

Then why is she picking up
your dad's money in Dubai?

I have no idea.

I like BLTs, Your Honor, but I'm
not biased against kosher food.

I don't think I have any opinion.

HOWARD: The reason I
asked is because, you know,

sometimes the jurors can't
control the kind of food

that's ordered in the jury room.

Oh, uh...

Well, I had a bad reaction to MSG

a few years ago. That's about it.

HOWARD: Mm-hmm. Me, too. Chinese food.

I'm telling you, I had the runs

- that wouldn't stop...
- Your Honor?

Your Honor? We've already
accepted this juror.

Yeah, I know.

Let's turn to some of the
hardships we're talking about.

Oh, you were at Roger's funeral?

- Who?
- Roger Hill.

Oh, right.

- That was awful. Hit-and-run?
- Yes.

Uh, no, I was at
Michael Sommers' funeral,

one of our partners.

Michael Sommers? He died?

Yes, last week, horseback
riding. A stroke.

Oh, my God. What is going on?

It's like a plague.

I just came from court.

One of the sheriffs had a heart attack.

- What?!
- Yes, he's in the hospital.

What is happening?

Well, probably nothing.

It's like when you take up Pilates,

and everywhere you
look, there's Pilates.

We are going to a funeral,
we're standing in a cemetery,

you just came from another funeral,

and there was a third funeral today.

That is not Pilates.

- [SIGHS]
- Why don't you try competing?

Liz, 90% of new firms fail

- within the first five years.
- Oh...

L-Look it up.

It is always so good
talking to you, Adrian.

You are such a ray of sunshine.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[HEAVY KNOCK AT DOOR]

Uh... [CLEARS THROAT] Uh, one second.

Maia, it's Lucca.

Jay wants to show you something.

MAIA: Okay.

- What are we doing?
- [SIGHS] Go ahead.

MAN: 11/30 - 065.

Guys, if this is another
phone call from my dad...

- Just wait. Wait. Listen.
- [PHONE RINGS]

HENRY: Hello?

TRUMP: Hey. What are you doing?

HENRY: Waiting for your
call. What are you doing?

TRUMP: I've been very
busy, but I miss you.

Who is that?

HENRY: Take off your pants.

TRUMP: Are you crazy? There's people here.

- [TAPS KEY]
- Who is that?

That's President Trump.

He called your dad for phone sex.

- [LAUGHS]
- What?

It's audio manipulation software

developed by the FBI.

You feed in 40 minutes of any voice,

and you can create a
conversation from scratch.

HENRY: Do it under your
desk. No one will know.

Tell me what you're doing.

TRUMP: I'm touching myself.

- What?
- Wait, stop it.

- Oh, my God.
- What do you want your dad to say?

- Wait, what?
- What do you want

your dad to say to Trump?

Uh, I...

- "I love you, President Trump."
- Mmm.

[TAPS KEY]

HENRY: I love you, President Trump.

I love how your ass looks in jeans.

[ALL LAUGH]

- I added that.
- That's nice.

[ALL LAUGH]

Wait, you created that
whole conversation?

Yep. Our brave new world.

Mistrust everything.

TRUMP: Mike Pence is here, too.

He wants to talk to you.

I love fake Mike Pence.

PENCE: God, you're sexy, Henry.

- Tell me what you're gonna do to me.
- [JAY AND LUCCA LAUGH]

[TAPS KEY]

WOMAN: I want to fuck you so bad.

I want to fuck you right in half.

Do you have the telephone
call from Madeline?

[TAPS KEY]

HENRY: What are you doing?

WOMAN: Lowering my pants.

[HENRY CHUCKLES]

HENRY: No, not right now.

WOMAN: I'm taking you into my mouth.

- It's not Rosalie.
- [TAPS KEY]

Not... It's not her
voice. They faked it.

Good.

Then I have a suggestion.

Liz?

Have you, uh, met Diane Lockhart?

Uh, yes. Once, I think.

At a bar association dinner.

- That's right.
- Liz, can we talk?

You had a partner.

- Will Gardner.
- I did.

Yeah. Yeah, he was a good lawyer.

Beat me in a case I should've won.

- Yeah. He was good that way.
- Yeah.

- I'm so sorry about what happened.
- Yeah.

And Alicia Florrick.

Yes, she was at my firm, as well.

Yeah. We went to school together.

- Oh. Chicago.
- Mmm.

It's like one big, happy family.

[LAUGHS] Yeah.

Liz. [CLEARS THROAT]

We want you to join our firm.

[LAUGHS]

In what capacity?

- Name partner.
- Equity partner.

You want my father's name?

Yes. And you.

We want you, of course.

An ex-AUSA who was fired...

- Quit.
- Quit.

And holds a grudge against her old boss?

Clients like that.

- Grudges sell well.
- Hmm.

To the guilty?

And the wrongly accused.

[LAUGHS] Run into many of those?

Ah, you're not gonna be one
of those tiresome prosecutors

- who has trouble adjusting.
- [CHUCKLES]

Does-does Adrian know about
your little offer to me?

- No.
- Yes.

You two are quite the comedy team.

Uh, Mr. Boseman does not know.

This would be an action taken
by the other 15 equity partners.

We would outvote him.

Yeah, I... [SIGHS]

I've spent the past ten
years in the bureaucracy

of the DOJ. I...

I don't know that I want
to trade it for another one.

Well, just so you know, we pay better.

Let me think about it.

We'll need to know today.

Then I will tell you today.

[INDISTINCT REPORTER SPEAKS ON TV]

You're playing this a little abruptly.

- It's what she wants.
- I hope you're right.

We're gonna have to tell
Adrian at some point.

Yeah, we will.

REPORTER: was intentional.

They know that the driver was angry.

Roger Hill, a local
divorce lawyer, was killed

by the driver of a blue 2012 Dodge van

driving at 45 miles an hour.

Police arrested the owner of that van,

Stan Greennoble, a Logan
Square real estate agent.

The police found angry texts
and letters from Greennoble

accusing Hill of overcharging
him for legal work

and losing him joint
custody of his child.

Greennoble was taken
into custody at noon

outside his business,

charged with first-degree murder.

Kill all lawyers!

All of 'em! Kill 'em!

REPORTER: "Kill all the
lawyers." With those words,

Stan Greennoble ran down
his divorce attorney.

Now a lot of lawyers here
in Chicago are asking,

can overbilling get you killed?

MAN: Look, I understand
the anger out there.

Some of my best friends are lawyers.

But every time one of
these things happens...

[INDISTINCT CHATTER, JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]

Funerals are hard.

Yep.

But they help.

Another hour in here and
people will start laughing,

having a better time.

You can only think
about death for so long.

I don't know if that's true.

You know, I have something
stronger, if you want.

What?

Psilocybin.

I don't know what that is.

It's mushrooms. It's ground
up, mixed with grape juice.

Oh, it's a psychedelic.

[STAMMERS] Sort of.

You micro-dose it.

Add an eyedropper to your drink,

and everything will be clarified.

Your mind on jazz.

I don't like jazz.

What do you like?

Russian literature.

Bach.

Then you will love this.

[CHUCKLES]

How much?

For you, free.

I like your smile.

[CHUCKLING]

Death and sex.

It connects you to life.

You know, I'm gonna
wake up tomorrow morning

and realize this
conversation never happened.

RENEE: Diane.

Do you have a moment?

Uh, not really.

Did you see the news about Roger Hill?

They caught the driver.

Yeah, I just did.

"Kill all lawyers."

Killers are rarely so literate.

Mm, it's awful. But divorce lawyers

bring out the worst in people.

Yeah, I guess.

Um, a quick thing.

I know you have no reason
to forgive me, Diane...

Renee, we're good. Really.

- You're forgiven.
- Wait, I want you to take

Michael Sommers'
partnership at our firm.

What?

He handled our litigation.

We need a partner to
lead the department.

You would be perfect.

[LAUGHING]

[CHUCKLES] Are you all right?

Uh, yes.

Um, how-how did he die again?

Stroke. While horseback riding.

Oh, yeah. That's right.

I-I have a job, Renee.

Yes, at a firm half our size.

And a firm, to be
frank, that's downsizing.

Trump is changing the rules
on no-bid minority contracts.

That's a third of your business.

And one of your partners
is actively trying

to force you out.

Barbara Kolstad?

Did you not know?

Oh.

You came back from the dead,
Diane. You proved yourself.

You don't have to keep
proving yourself over and over.

Come take Michael's spot.

Kill all lawyers! All of 'em! Kill 'em!

REPORTER: "Kill all the
lawyers." With those words,

Stan Greennoble ran down
his divorce attorney.

Now a lot of lawyers here
in Chicago are asking,

can overbilling get you killed?

Weird.

Yep.

Are you worried?

About what, overbilling?

No, they caught him, right?

So, I guess not.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

I don't think Boseman likes me.

Oh, he likes you.

He's just stuck with his height.

Tall people are stuck with their height.

You're tall, and you're
not stuck with your height.

I hide it well.

My mother would hit me if I slumped.

I want to investigate for the firm.

I think I'd be good.

I've passed the PI test.

Well, then tell him.

I have. He ignores me.

Treat it like a test.

Okay, you're distracted.

What's going on with you?

Is Barbara trying to force me out?

No.

Maybe.

She's territorial.

She thinks Boseman prefers you.

How do you know all this?

I'm a natural investigator.

Why are you worried about Kolstad?

I've been asked to be a
partner at another firm.

Twice the size of Reddick/Boseman.

And you're wondering...?

If I should go.

The offer came from
someone who betrayed me.

Well, someone who betrayed
you once will betray you again.

That's a given.

Yeah, but isn't it better to
go with the devil that you know?

I never understood that expression.

Why not go with no devils?

I just don't like hustling every
day to keep this firm afloat.

[CHUCKLES] Yes, you do.

You love it.

Have you ever taken psilocybin?

Mushrooms? No.

LSD, but...

Is that what that is?

Yes.

Are you micro-dosing, Diane?

No.

Maybe.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Diane Lockhart, on the
cutting edge of culture.

I've heard it sharpens the mind.

But maybe that's just
a rich person's way

to make addiction palatable.

- No.
- Yes.

- That is crazy.
- We want her name.

And you're fuckin' serious? [LAUGHS]

We could outvote you.

Oh, just try, Julius.

Just try.

We don't want to,

but we could do it.

So try.

I'm quitting unless you allow
me to intern as an investigator.

Can we do this another time?

I've been at the firm for one year now.

That's the longest I've
worked at any one job.

I've passed a PI test.

I am experienced with every firearm.

I don't want to replace Jay.

I want to work beside him.

And I need you to decide now,

or I'll work with someone else.

Okay.

How 'bout you work part-time
as a backup investigator?

My salary plus ten percent.

Hell no.

You're still Diane's secretary.

Assistant.

Assistant.

After a couple months, maybe we can...

perhaps talk about a raise.

Okay.

Good.

Good.

MADELINE: Okay...

[SIGHS] what you got?

Maia has information on
the location of her father.

- She does?
- Yes. And she knows

who the woman in the photo is.

Oh, so you're just now remembering?

- I am.
- Oh.

And, uh, what do you want
for this information, Maia?

Full exoneration. No prosecution.

Queen for a day?

- No.
- Why not?

Queen for a day with you
always works out bad for me.

Well, then, I'm going to
need a hint of what you got.

The exact location of Henry Rindell.

You know it?

Yes.

I don't believe you.

Okay.

HENRY: Hello?

MAIA: Hey, Dad. It's me.

HENRY: Where are you?
Are you on the burner?

MAIA: I am. Don't worry.
No one's listening.

You've been in touch with him?

- Maia records all of her phone calls.
- Oh.

HENRY: What do you need, babe?

MAIA: I'm afraid they're
closing in on you, Dad.

The FBI is always listening in.

HENRY: They'll never find me here.

MAIA: Where's here?

HENRY: I can't have you tell anyone.

MAIA: No one will know, Dad.

Did you move from the last place?

- HENRY: I'm back in Chicago.
- Chicago?

Do you know the FBI
agent, Madeline Starkey?

MAIA: Yes, Dad.

HENRY: I'm in her basement. Hold on.

MADELINE: Maia, hey. How are you doing?

MAIA: Good. Are you sure it's all right

that my dad stays there?

Oh, yeah.

We've been having pajama
parties. It's great.

Mm. Well, I'm glad you're having fun.

Oh, not as much fun as
we're gonna have at trial.

I wonder what the judge
will say about you trying

to trick Maia with a faked phone call.

Well, my guess is that the
judge will find that irrelevant.

We'll see.

Yes, we will.

Hi, Renee, I've given it some thought.

Diane, I was just heading out.

- Thank you for the offer, but I think...
- Oh, don't worry about it.

I like the challenge of working
with Reddick, Boseman & Kolstad.

That's good. Because I
went with my second choice.

Your second... choice?

For partner. Barbara Kolstad.

But thanks for the consideration.
