The Good Wife (2009–2016): Season 1, Episode 15 - Bang - full transcript

Previously on The Good Wife:

Do we tell Mum?

They sent them to Mom to hurt her,
so I say no.

You, Mr. Florrick,
have been granted a retrial.

Yes.

He's taking pictures
of our front door.

So who is it?

I don't know.

Maybe we should just
get on with our d...

Here we go.

I love you both.



Hi.

Hi.

Hey, Dad.

Zach.

Come here.

Hi, Grace.

We made you a cake.

Would that be an
upside-down pineapple cake?

Aw...

It must remain connected

at all times to your phone.

Any tampering results

in immediate termination
of the program.

The transmitter



is to be worn around
your ankle at all times.

It's waterproof and shockproof.

It sends a signal to the
HMD every five minutes.

It must not cross this line.

If you accidentally
cross the line...

...you'll hear an alarm

then you'll receive
a telephone call

from our monitoring center.

You need to answer that
call within five rings

or you're terminated
from the program.

Do you understand?

I understand.

It's okay.

You are confined to the
apartment 24 hours a day.

There is no use of cell
phones or Internet-based

communications, passive or active.

No e-mail, no Web surfing.

How will you know?

Zach.

No Internet communications.

Will that be a problem?

No.

Now I need to attach the
transmitter to your ankle.

Do you want to...?

Right over here.

Excuse me.

Let me know if this is too tight.

It's just like Cinderella.

You're really all right

with all of this?

Yeah, yeah, it's cool.

I was doing some research

on who else was under house arrest.

Um... Aung Suu Kyi, Roman Polanski.

Okay, Zach.

Hey, Dad, there's something
that I want to show you

on my computer.

Grace,

will you help me with the dishes?

Maybe tomorrow after school.

Sure. I'm not going anywhere.

I like it-- the apartment.

It's a fifth the size.

Do you miss the house?

No.

Sometimes.

I have to work in
the morning, so...

It's weird, isn't it?

You're going to work,
I'm staying home.

Yeah.

It's good to have you home.

What was the first thing I saw?

Well, I guess it was the body.

And this was the victim,
Miles Wagner?

Yes, sir.

I'm glad he's dead!

I should have done it myself!

MAN 2: He deserved it!

I hope you rot in Hell, Wagner.

Sheriffs.

Members of the jury,
you are again instructed

to disregard these outbursts.

I'm sorry. Mr. Landry.

As you were saying, Detective.

Mr. Wagner owns Linked
Asset Management

on the 75th floor,

and it appeared he was gunned down

as he was walking to his car.

What else did you find
at the scene, Detective?

Well... him.

Brad Broussard.

Covered in blood.

And how did he kill Wagner?

Objection. Withdrawn.

How was Wagner killed?

Two 9mm bullets

in the torso, one point-blank

in his neck.

Way to go, Brad!

You'll show Brad?

Yes, but I think you should.

He wanted a girl.

It's, uh, it's not a girl.

Men don't know what they want.

Uh, d-do you think

he'll ever get out on bail?

We're trying.

And visitation?

It's hard.

Because we're not married?

You-you'll give it to him?

Now, the accused was

Mr. Wagner's bodyguard?

Yes, sir.

And did he carry a gun?

Yes, a 9mm.

The same as the murder weapon.

Now, did Mr.
Broussard seem agitated

when you questioned him?

He did.

He had been encouraged to
invest his life savings

with Mr. Wagner, and, well,
that was lost, too.

Yeah, he lost mine, too!

Order!

Lost with the rest
of his investments?

Could you explain?

Mr. Wagner and a partner
ran a mutual fund,

which was one of
the largest feeders

to Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme.

And that was, in your opinion, Mr.
Broussard's motive?

Yes.

Thank you, Detective.

ALICIA Brad.

Hey. Where's Judith?

She'll be in in a minute.
She wanted you to have that.

It's a boy.

Order. Order.

He's so beautiful.

Detective, let's return
to this motive, shall we?

Mr. Wagner lost my client's
life savings of $98,000?

Is that correct?

I'm not aware of the amount.

Well, I am.

It was $98,000.

And yet, do you know how much Mr.
Wagner lost for his

other clients?

No, ma'am. $800 million.

Your Honor, does Ms.
Lockhart actually need a witness?

In the form of an objection,
Mr. Landry.

Argumentative. Overruled.

Half the people in this court
are here because Mr. Wagner

lost their savings.

Objection.

Withdrawn.

But, Detective,

if having your savings
devastated by Mr. Wagner

constitutes motive,
aren't there thousands of suspects?

Ma'am, thousands of suspects
weren't seen entering

the parking garage at
the time of the murder.

Thousands of suspects didn't
own the murder weapon.

Now, this 9mm gun owned by Brad...

did you ever find it?

No.

And the $50,000 in cash

that Miles Wagner was
carrying that night...

did you find that on the scene?

No.

Any theories on how my client

got rid of the gun and
the money? No, ma'am.

And when you arrived at the
scene and you found my client,

as you say, "covered with blood,"

what did you find him doing?

I don't understand.

Did you find him
choking Mr. Wagner,

firing bullets into his body?

No.

Then what did you find him doing?

Applying CPR.

And do you consider that

a fairly common MO for a killer?

Argumentative.
That's fine, Your Honor.

I don't have anything more.

So where are we

on other suspects?

Well, in most cases
we'd be struggling.

In this, we're drowning.

Everybody wanted Wagneread.

That is the fifth fruit
basket we've gotten

this week for representing
the man who killed him.

Yes, I just wish all
these supporters

actually thought he was innocent.

Well, for reasonable doubt,
we just need to give the jury

another suspect,
so let's find somebody.

Hey,

you lost your ballistics
expert, didn't you?

Oh, yeah, turns out Wagner
looted his mutual fund, too.

Why?

I have someone you should meet. Oh.

Oh, Alicia, by the way,

I-I'm moving you onto
the Haskin tax case.

Cary, you'll take witness prep.

Why, did I do something wrong?

No, no, no, you were great.
We're just moving around

junior associates.

Just send your notes down
to Cary to take over.

Okay, we still need to
pursue the money angle.

Wagner's aide said
he left with $50,000

he had hidden in his office,
so where is it?

Cary, if you could start moving on that,
I'd appreciate it.

TV ANNOUNCER: You're
watching Reality TV.

Reality 24-7.

Next on Reality TV:
his pain is your pain,

his troubles are your troubles.

They call him the Gorilla Boy,
and he'll steal your heart.

Hey, it's me.

Let's get to work.

It sends the wrong message.

What is the right message?

You need an ambassador.

Eli Gold is a thug.

You need someone who's effective.

Eli Gold is effective.

Gets things done.

Gold, Golden. Who are
we going to hire next--

Goldilocks?

Childs will come after you.

Hire Eli Gold

as your campaign manager,
he'll know

you're planning to run against him.

Wait.

Hey, Dad,

do you have a minute?

You need some help
with your homework?

No.

I scanned these into my computer

before Grandma threw
the originals away.

They were on our
doorstep in an envelope.

Someone knocked on our door,
then left.

What? It's faked.

I can tell because of
the light in your eyes.

Please don't tell Mom.

I haven't shown it to her.

Daniel.

I want a meeting with Eli Gold.

Peter, I think that's a mistake.

He's a wartime consigliere.

Now.

Today.

They lived together

for the last three years.

She's pregnant with
Broussard's baby

and therefore should be granted

the same visitation rights
as a married couple.

That's our argument anyway.

So what did you do wrong?

What did I...?

Why are you being
taken off the case?

Oh.

They want me on the
Haskin tax thing.

Okay.

So, are you going to talk to her?

Who? Diane.

What about?

Why she's favoring Cary over you.

I don't know that she is.

How long before this
little competition

between Cary and you is over?

A month.

And eight days.

If Diane is showing favoritism,
then you need to deal with that.

And if she's not,

then you need to deal with that.

Diane is a partner.

I'm a junior associate.
Yeah, whatever.

What?

Alicia, you're a good lawyer,
but you're always waiting

for people to give
you things. I am not.

Okay.

Then, everything will
work out perfectly.

Talk to Diane.

Tell her she's wrong to
take you off the case

and that Cary is
going to screw it up.

Or... wait for something
good to happen to you.

Does she have a moment?

She's in with the
ballistics expert.

Yeah.

Uh-huh.

Well, it's not an all-out war,

but, I mean, Will has his troops,

I have mine.

He tried to fire my tax litigator,
so I had to,

um...

counterattack.

Uh, listen. I'm, uh,
in the office with someone.

Lunch? Good.

Sorry about that, Mr.... McVeigh.

Oh, my goodness.

What an unfortunate name.

Hopefully no relation?

Hopefully.

Um, well, I see you were the, uh,

ballistics expert in the
Crown Narrows appeal,

but you left halfway through.

Why?

Found out he was guilty.

Is that a deal breaker?

It is. That's why my
rates are so reasonable.

So, if you find,
or you believe you find

that a client is guilty,
you-- what?-- quit?

Yes.

And if you're on the stand?

I will excuse myself.

Really? My goodness.

You're like something
out of Melville.

So, why, uh, should I,
uh, hire you,

besides your reasonable rates?

Well, because the
prosecution's case

rests almost exclusively

on tying your client
to the murder weapon,

and I can prove that it's not his.

Really? Yes.

Well, your predecessor--

the expert that you would replace--

intended to show that the 9mm

was common and the shell
markings negligible.

Is that not your defense?

No, that's not my defense.

Well, uh, what is?

I don't like Chicago.

Let me guess.

You like the country. Yes.

Some cabin somewhere

where you write angry
letters to the editor?

Oh, um, I've offended you?

No. No.

We're done.

I'll talk to you soon.

Do you have a moment, Diane?

Uh, I... I have no idea.

I think I've just been
visited by the Marlboro Man.

Who?

Oh, our ballistics expert,

although I-I don't know
if he actually is ours.

I think I hired him.

I'm sorry to bother you.

I just...

I'm better than Cary.

On the Broussard homicide.

On the eyewitness cross.

I've been working on this case
for three months intensely,

and Cary is just coming on.

I agree.

You...

Well, then, why?

Why... why was I pulled off it?

I don't know.

It wasn't my idea.

Whose?

Will's.

Thank you.

Do you have a moment, Will?

Actually, I don't. I got a lunch.

How about later this afternoon?

Well, you two do have a
complicated relationship.

You know, an unrequited thing.

What does that even mean?

An unrequited thing?

Look, I don't really deal well

with all this high school stuff.

And wouldn't that make
him want me on the case,

not off it? I don't know.

Alicia, complicated relationships

are a breeding ground for
misinterpreted action.

Going now.

Bye.

No problem.

I'd like to be helpful
in any way I can.

I won't end up on
your naughty list?

So, this was at 9:35?

Yes, uh, when my shift was over.

I... I work as a Santa Claus

across the street.

And I saw a man in a black suit

enter the parking garage at 9:35.

Is the man in court today?

Yes.

That young man there.

Uh, I'm sorry to say.

Now, Mr. Broussard said he

didn't enter the parking garage
until after the shooting,

but this would have him
entering the garage before.

That's what I saw.

Thank you, Chris.

That is your real name, isn't it?

Oh, you.

Take out Santa.

Oh, I'd love to.

So, Mr. Suggs,

Chris...

My goodness, that's a
real beard, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

You want to tug it?

Actually, I would. Yeah.

Okay, so, as you testified,

you work as a Santa
during the holiday season.

What do you do for
work in the off-season?

I get by.

Up at the North Pole?

No, really. What do you do?

Well, there's commercial work.

And I've worked as a movie extra.

Yeah, a porno movie.

Ho-Ho-Ho, wasn't it?

relevance.

Sustained. CARY: So, Chris,

how do you stay warm out there

on those cold nights
during the holiday season?

I stay warm.

Yeah... but how?

It was 22 degrees the
night of the murder,

with a windchill factor of five.

The Santa suit is warm.
Because we got a statement

from the supervisor on
your last job. Your Honor?

And he said he got complaints
about you drinking.

He's a liar.

Really? He'sn your naughty list.

So...

you were 55 feet from the garage--

we measured it--

and you were drinking...

I had one drink.

And you were drinking,

and you still swear
that you saw that man?

I already said what I said.

Yes, you did.

Well, thank you, Santa.

And just one last thing:
ho, ho, ho.

Objection. Your Honor!

Withdrawn.

So, this is the kitchen cabinet.

Yep.

And this... this must be

the faked photo.
Do you have the original?

Nope.

The envelope it came in?

Thrown away.
Thrown away or destroyed?

Thrown away. Well, that was clumsy.

Yeah.

So, Eli, look.

Considering your reputation,

I think we're going to have to talk

about a few ground rules.

And what have you heard
about my reputation?

That you speak your mind,

your mind tends toward expletives,

you are a classically
trained pianist,

and you require Saturdays off.

Who told you about Saturdays,
shiksa Bambi over there?

I've also been told
that in a street fight,

you're the man.

You want me to watch my swearing?

Listen, considering
my circumstances,

my home will remain our base,

and my wife and children live here.

You need to replace the strainer.

Okay, first of all...

Peter? Yes.

The only reason I'm here
is because what I've heard

about your reputation. Which is?

You're a son...

Can I say "son of a bitch,
" or is that too salty?

That's fine.

You, sir, are a son of a bitch,

but a son of a bitch who likes
to change things for the better.

I've also heard that you're toxic,

and if I join your
merry little band

of political hobbyists here,

I'm going to end up regretting it.

That sounds about right.

Okay, here's my first
piece of advice.

Fire Bambi.

Hey. And hire your son.

This is the best piece

of oppo research this
campaign has done.

Yes, but we're still trying
to figure out who it is.

Oh, I know who it is. Who?

It's a Federal investigator

doing scout work for a
possible indictment.

How do you know that?

You can't know that.

Oh, I know a lot of things, lady.

The question is:
why don't you know it?

Look, you're under
Federal investigation.

What you need to find out is why.

Mr. Knox, what was
your relationship

with the victim? WOMAN: Go to hell!

Ma'am. He stole my retirement!

He stole everything!

Free Brad Broussard!
Free Brad Broussard!

Order.

Order. I will clear
this entire courtroom

if there is one more outburst.

My apologies, Mr. Knox.

Mr. Wagner and I

built our investment
firm up from nothing.

Sadly, I was the one

who suggested he hire Brad

as a bodyguard and driver.

Now, the accused
phoned you on the night

of the murder, didn't he?
Objection, Your Honor.

This wasn't in Mr.
Knox's statement to the police.

Yes, Your Honor, Mr. Knox

has since deepened his memory

of the events of that night.

Oh, come on. "Deepened"?

I'll allow. KNOX: Yes.

Brad did phone me.

He was very upset.

He wanted to get married,

and he needed his life
savings to buy a house.

And what did you tell him? Well,
I tried to calm him down.

He was talking about
confronting Mr. Wagner.

I tried to explain that we

were both tricked by Madoff,

but he wouldn't listen,
and he hung up.

Oh. Thank you, Mr. Knox.

Ten-minute recess.

I think we've narrowed
your suspects down to one.

I just wanted to know...

Just wanted to know what?

I'll... I'll get these
out to you in a second.

What's wrong?

I checked with Diane.

Why I'm no longer on
the Broussard homicide.

She said it was your decision.

Yes.

I just wanted to make sure I
hadn't done anything wrong.

No, no, no, no. Of course not.

Then I don't get it.

Maybe it was a mistake.

I... I've been feeling guilty

lately about pulling you away

on the Rucker defense and
the Memorial North suit.

I just thought that...

I just thought with
Peter coming home...

your life's complicated enough.

I should give you a break.

But I don't want a break.

I want to be here.
I want to be doing a good job.

You are doing a good job.

Then use me.

Peter can take care of himself.

He's irrelevant to this.

I want to be here.

I want you to be here.

Then...

Then I'm here.

Okay.

Knox has an alibi.

He and his wife were going

to a Christmas party
later that night,

and were dressing at home
at the time of the murder.

His alibi is his wife? Yeah.

Housekeeper was off for the night,

and the daughter
was out at a party.

Well, then let's get
to the wife. What else?

Well, logically,

there is a motive.

I looked into the Knox
and Wagner partnership.

They were facing indictment,

and both their bank
accounts were frozen.

Now, although they swore

that they would fight
the charges together,

the Feds were trying to
turn one against the other.

I like it.

Knox kills Wagner to
keep him from testifying.

Can we get anything
certain from the Feds?

I can try.

We need your help.

Get your name out fast.

Mrs. Knox,

I'm Alicia Florrick.

Not interested.

Not fast enough.

Mrs. Knox, I'm Alicia Florrick.

I just have a few questions.

Maybe try another name.

Trapped here, living in this limbo.

The first week it
was the reporters.

Then they disappeared,
then it was the haters.

All the people who
lost their money.

I wanted to yell,
"He disgusts me, too""

Then why are you
supporting his alibi?

Well, that's a question
I've asked myself.

Were you here together all night?

I was here.

He went out?

I will remain discreetly silent.

That's from Chicago Children

Fighting Cancer, isn't it?

Yes, a donation gift.

My husband and I attended that

fund-raiser last year.
It's a good cause.

Terrible Swedish meatballs.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Florrick,

but if you're looking for a hero,
I'm afraid I'm not it.

We're looking for the truth.

Oh, yes, well, aren't we all?

Rachel, if we happen to
get you on the stand,

would we be happy with the results?

Let me put it this way.

Yes.

But we both know

you won't be getting
me on the stand,

because my husband won't allow it.

She's right.

We've run smack into
spousal privilege.

Knox can prevent her
from testifying.

But spousal privilege is supposed

to foster open communication
in a marriage,

and there's no marriage here.

They sleep in separate rooms.

She hates him.

His scandal has turned
her life into hell.

Nope. Tried it in another case.

Courts respect marriage too much.

Even bad ones.

And the state is keeping Judith
from visiting Brad in lockup

because they're not married.

an institution
fraught with ironies.

There is an exception
to spousal privilege.

A third person present.

I doubt if Knox is stupid
enough to tell his wife

to lie in front of a third person.

Their daughter.

Worth a try. Check that out.

Rachel Knox is Irish.

You could try to argue

their marriage was a green
card fraud on the state.

Okay, we have a new mission now.

We need to break spousal privilege

so we can get Rachel
Knox on the stand

to testify against her husband.

We do that, Brad Broussard
has a fighting chance.

I don't think you're right,
but we have someone looking

into a possible
Federal investigation.

Just so we're clear.

If we're going to fight,
you're going to lose.

Peter trusts me.

Golden may want you here,

but Peter is the ultimate decider.

He's the one who's...

What are you doing?

Lowering my pants so
you can kiss my ass.

I have two questions for you. Two?

Really? They're multiplying.

The Broussard homicide.

Did you offer to
make Wagner a deal?

No idea. Not one of mine.

But you can find out, right?

I can do a lot of things.

I'm just not feeling motivated.

The second?

Peter Florrick.

You know what, guys?

I will be right upstairs
in just a minute.

No.

No, you're not getting
anything from me on that.

Sounds serious.

No, sounds like a "no comment."

It's just that...

Actually, you're right.

I'm not going to get
anything from you, am I?

Okay, what is it?

No, it's Florrick-
he's not one of yours.

You won't be interested.

Oh, no, I want to see it.

Okay.

Where did you get that?

You know him?

Where did you get that?

I'll handle this.

Hey.

Okay.

All right, tonight?

9:00. We'll talk.

Okay.

Yeah.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Hey, uh... so I got a client here.

Yeah. Yeah, lunch sounds good.

Okay.

Is that Photoshopped?

You and the Barracuda? No.

No, she was at a pro-life rally.

Oh, of course.

And you always

keep her picture just right there?

No. No, that was for you.

I got it framed, too.

I'm honored.

So, what do you have to show me?

You... you remind
me a little of her.

Oh, good.

Which part:
quitting the governorship

or the moose hunting?

Standing up for your values.

Okay.

Nothing good will come
out of this conversation.

So, what do you have?

Um...

am I to follow?

You could start a war.

They're not mine.

Ongoing cases.

This is a gun identical
to your clients.

Beretta 92FS.

I seem to spend my life
around guns these days.

And this is his ammunition.

9mm 115 grain, FMJ.

FMJ?

Full metal jacket.
Oh, like the movie.

Loud.

No barriers to the sound.

Just like the garage.

There was a janitor two levels up.

He heard nothing.

Visible gunpowder burns.

Stippling...

here, here around the wound,

in a circle.

The victim.

Half circle of stippling.

Police say his coat collar
caused the half circle.

What, you disagree?

A line here.

Meaning?

Stippling-- a half moon.

The victim was in a car.

Passenger seat.

Killer was driving.

He got out, came around,
fired point-blank.

Sound was absorbed partly
into the automobile.

That's why the janitor
didn't hear anything.

Then he fired twice more.

You might want to cover up again.

Killer opened the door,
pulled him out,

tossed him on the floor,
then he took off in the car.

You're not going to
get reception in here.

And I already checked.

Checked what?

There was no evidence

of a shooting in Mr.
Broussard's car.

But you are confident, Mr. McVeigh,

that the shooting

happened in a car.

My confidence isn't as
important as the science.

Clearly, there is an imprint

of a seat belt shoulder
strap on the victim.

So I sought out information
on the vehicles

of the other principals
in this case.

What did you discover about
the car belonging to Mr. Knox,

the victim's business partner?
Objection.

I'm not sure why you're
objecting, Counselor.

I haven't heard anything yet.
Overruled.

I tried to investigate Mr.
Knox's automobiles

to discover if there
were signs of a shooting.

The police report says
three cars were clean.

But he had four cars registered.

What happened to his fourth car?

Mr. Knox claimed
that it was stolen,

day after the murder.

It was never recovered.

Thank you, Mr. McVeigh.

No problem.

Who's it from?

Oh, no one. I mean, I don't know.

Probably a secret admirer.

Well, yeah. I mean,
I have a lot of those.

Nice work on Broussard today.

Thanks.

Look, I know we're going
through a lot of turmoil here

over the direction of the firm,

with Stern gone and all, but

wherever we end up...

I respect you, Diane.

Didn't they say that to Secretariat

before they put him down?

I don't think they said "Diane""

It's so cold out here.

I like the cold.

Part of the program training is,
they drop you in freezing water,

and you tread water for 20 minutes.

Yeah, but this is dinner.

I have something I
want you to consider.

Going inside?

Uh-uh.

Join us.

Join you?

And you are?

The FBI.

You'd be a good investigator.

You're being serious?

Yeah.

Why?

I like you.

You're good.

President Obama

got us more money,
and the hiring freeze is over.

Yeah, I've already got a job.

This one's better.

Defense of your country.

Who's the man in the photo?

Oh. What photo?

The photo I showed you earlier.

What's going on with the
Florrick investigation?

Listen,

I want you to work under me.

And feed me random
things that you come by.

Things about Florrick?

Yes, that.

Other things.

No.

Thank you, but

I'm... I'm happy where I am.

And where is that?

They found Broussard's gun.

What?

The murder weapon.

It was anonymously
sent to the Chicago PD.

And?

Bad news.

It's your client's.

Broussard thinks
his gun was stolen.

He says Knox knew where he kept it,

in the glove compartment.

It is pretty suspicious--

showing up anonymously right
after our best day in court.

Any hope on breaking
spousal privilege?

Nothing on the green card.

We're still looking
for the daughter,

but she's out of the country.

Okay, meet upstairs
in half an hour.

It's gonna be a late night.

Excuse me?

Just resting my eyes.

You're...?

Eli Gold.

My husband hired you.

You're taller than I expected.

Thank you.

I thought, as we're going

to be in each other's lives,
I should introduce myself.

Oh, that's really not necessary.

So, you're the force
behind the force, huh?

No. I'm nobody, Mr. Gold.

I'm just working. Working here.

You don't want him to run?

What did I say

that would suggest that to you?

Just your manner.

And what does my manner
suggest to you now?

Quick question.

What do you think of Kya?

No.

What?

Your political squabbles
are your own, not mine.

Don't try to manipulate me.

You're right. My apologies.

You know, um,

you and I

are going to be the best of friends,
Mrs. Florrick.

And do you know why?
I have no idea.

Because you're cautious,

and so am I.

Your husband isn't.

Nice meeting you.

Although I find the late arrival

of this gun suspicious,

I would be remiss if I didn't
allow it into evidence.

Mr. Landry, please make it
available to the defense.

I think we have to start
talking about a deal.

But the ballistic evidence.

We've knocked holes in their case,

but I don't know if the
holes are big enough.

How many years?

Second degree murder,

ten years.

With time off for good behavior,

it would be four and a half.

And if we wait for a jury?

If convicted?

Minimum sentence of 45 years.

No parole,

no time off.

He'd be four years old.

You didn't do it.

See him grow up...

it would be worth it.

I think we've been going
about this all wrong.

What?

The $50,000 missing from Wagner.

What happened to it? Exactly.

Knox's bank account was frozen,

he still has that 50 grand.

Unless he buried it somewhere.

I think we found our way
around spousal privilege.

We can get Rachel Knox
to testify on the stand.

How?

Rachel Knox can't testify.

Spousal privilege is

very clear.

Yes, it is, Your Honor,
which is why she can testify.

Spousal privilege is pierced
when there is a conspiracy

between spouses.

What conspiracy?

We subpoenaed the records

of Chicago Children
Fighting Cancer.

Mrs. Knox had recently
been given a Spire Award

for making a large donation,

$50,000 to be exact.

An amount that cannot be explained

through normal financial channels.

You're accusing Mrs.
Knox of murdering Miles Wagner?

No. Rachel Knox helped her
husband dispose of the money

acquired from the victim.

This makes her an agent
of her husband's crime,

which breaks spousal privilege.

You want to know

what happened on the
night of the murder?

Yes,

between the hours of 9:
00 and 10:00.

My husband left.

And when did he return?

An hour later.

And what did he have

in his possession?

A suitcase...

...filled with cash.

Thank you.

Ow! Oh.

All right, here, wait,
wait, wait, wait.

You're not going to
strike me out. Go.

Aah!

Right there to first base.
Hey, babe.

How was work?

That good, huh?

No, it's just role reversal.

How about some pizza?

We sent out.

Yeah. No.

I think I just want
some wine. Okay.

I'll pour.

I want to talk to
you about something.

What? Just something.

Don't worry.

How could they hide this from me?

Well,

I think they kept it from you

because they wanted to protect you.

I know.

I talked to Zach.

He knows he was wrong.

It...

Yeah, but their hearts
were in the right place.

I can't even absorb this.

I know.

Oh, now, wait, wt.

Don't talk to them now.

I told them we'd talk
to them tomorrow, okay?

I don't know anymore.

I don't know...

You had a long day.

Here.

We're gonna work this out tomorrow.

I don't know if we will.

We will.

Hey.

Hey.

Okay, are you ready?

Bring it on, Dad.

Go ahead, back up.

Back up, Zach,

because this one's
going over the fence.

Are you challenging me?
