The Good Wife (2009–2016): Season 1, Episode 4 - Fixed - full transcript

Previously on the Good Wife:

An hour ago I resigned as State
Attourney of Cooke County

I want to be clear.

I have never abused my office.

Alicia,

I know this has been hard on you,

but you have to believe me...
I'm innocent.

He needs you to forgive him, Alicia.

Jackie, he took everything
I thought we had

and he just put it out
there for everyone.

He didn't want that.
The press...



Oh, Jackie, stop it.

Peter wasn't thinking of us.

Kalinda Sharma.

I'm the in-house.
Oh, the investigator.

You're Peter Florrick's wife.
That's right.

Ryan thinks there's a good chance

the appellate court's going
to listen to my case.

If they overturn it,
everything goes back to normal.

Peter, it's never going back to normal.

This was after you dropped
your kids off at school?

Yes.

This was on the 16th?

Yes.

And who first told you of
your husband's infidelity,



Mrs. Florrick?

CNBC.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

I was at the cleaners.

I was waiting in line.

Cnbc was playing on the tv.

I saw it on the crawl
at the bottom of the screen.

And, just so we're clear,

you never once suspected
your husband's infidelity

before that moment, is that
correct, Mrs. Florrick?

That's correct.

I'm... I'm sorry to ask these
personal questions,

but I'm really on your side,

and as your husband's attorney,

our appeal depends on proving
that your husband made

untruthful statements at work,

not because he was trying to cover up

illegal acts as a state's attorney,

but that he was trying
to hide an affair

from his wife.

You understand?

I understand.

Good.

Uh...

Let's turn to the call girl.

She made some statements
in the press.

Alicia Florrick.

When?

Are you sure you need me now?

Um... I'll call your office to arrange

to do this another time?

I just want to let you know
that Peter has a lot of friends.

Judges, lawyers, business folk

who didn't like the way
that this went down.

They want to help.

I'm just saying if you need anything,

day or night,

give me a call?

We're fine.

Ah, one more thing.

Um...

we're looking for correspondence

that may have taken place

between Peter and a Gerald Kozko.

Just like the store,
only with a "k" and a "z."

The real estate developer.

Peter says all of his
private correspondences

are at your apartment.

It would help a lot

if you could look for a letter
or a card from him.

That's it.

Dentist visit... is over.

Alicia.

I heard you were coming
on board to replace bree.

Could you...?
Sure.

Ah, talk about complicated.

Jury selection took a week.

We got five more of these

filled with medical testimony
and the depo dump.

Did you read that?

I was on will's felony case
till 30 minutes ago.

Yeah, I was on a slip-and-fall

until Diane yanked me on this.

It's just "all hands on deck,"
you know?

But this one's pretty cool,

so come on,
I'll get you up to speed.

And what is an ironman, Ray?

Running, biking,
ocean swimming.

You swim 2.4 miles,

bike 112 miles,

and then run a full marathon.

And you placed third
in the Hawaiian ironman,

is that correct?

Yes, I did, yeah.

So tell me what happened on the 12th,

Ray.

Well, it was right after

the ironman.

We were back at the hotel,

and I felt this migraine coming on,

so I took these...

pills my doctor prescribed me

and the migraine just...

seemed to be getting worse.

Ray Demory.

He's our test case.

If Diane wins this one,

there's a massive class
action in the wings.

I felt unsteady.

The next day at the hospital,
I found out I had a stroke.

And these pills you took...
they were Zennapril, correct?

Your honor...

the drug manufactured by these
three gentlemen over here.

There's nothing I enjoy
more than watching

Miss Lockhart perform

her courtroom magic...

James McCloon...
killer defense counsel.

They call him the velvet shiv.

My clients manufactured

Zennapril,

and stop poking at them like perps

on America's most wanted.
Funny,

I didn't hear an objection,
Your Honor.

Let's just please refrain
from the crosstalk.

Yes, Your Honor.

I will try not to interrupt
Miss Lockhart again.

It will be difficult,

but I will try.

So, ray,

How would you describe
your physical condition now?

You're looking at it.

Mostly it's been hard on Carol.

We got married a year ago,
before my stroke, and she...

she didn't buy into this.

I mean...

One day her husband's an ironman
and the next day he's a...

an invalid.

Brandon, Lahna, you take point
on legal precedent.

Cary, you take Alicia
and review anything

that could undercut the class action.

I don't want to win the
battle and lose the war.

Use Kalinda if you need to, okay?

Let's get to it.

Mrs. Demory.

Hmm?

Can I get you something?

No, I'm fine.

Sorry, must have had
a zombie look on my face.

No, no, no.

We all need a moment.

I'm Alicia.

Right, you replaced bree.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, this.

This is what keeps us going.

Michael graff.

He took Zennapril after
a little league game.

Jenny Hollis.

She was a dancer.

They all wrote you?

Yes.

138 of them.

I...

Sorry.

Just...

they're all counting on us,
you know?

If we don't win, they're stuck.

It's just a lot of responsibility,
you know?

Objection.
Relevance. Isn't it the case,

Mr. Demory, the only reason
you're not suing your doctor is

Because his pockets aren't
as deep as my client's?

Objection!
Your honor!

Can we have a ruling?
Please, Your Honor.

Approach the bench.
Get me all references

to secondary prescriptions
in Ray's deposition.

Right.

Kalinda, I need you to look into this.

So, what are you saying?
Someone's bribing a juror?

I'm not saying anything.

I just found it.

Look, this could be anything.

A seating chart for a garden party,

a football lineup.

With 12 linemen?

What's that?

Yep.

We should talk to the hostess,

see if anyone from the
court eats here regularly.

No, we should take a deep
breath, show this to Diane...

Shh!

...Only spot in Chicago not
stuffed full of yuppies.

Been coming here three times a week...

I don't think we need
to talk to the hostess.

I come here so often,

I asked them to name
a sandwich after me.

Waitress looked me dead
in the eye and said,

"we don't serve ham."

It could be anything.

It could be just a doodle.

We don't know.

And you found it
in our depositions?

Yes, but it could have been
on the floor and stuck to one.

We just thought it should be
brought to your attention.

Remember last year?
Yep.

Was McCloon ever cleared of that?

It's still up for review.

So you think we should... what?

Don't go to the judge.

It makes no sense.

How does it end up in our depos?

McCloon sticks it in there.

He wants a mistrial,

but he wants us to go
to the judge and request it.

Or he's just screwing with your head.

There's another possibility.

There's a young associate
on his team... a redhead.

She came over and introduced
herself this morning.

Said she worked as a paralegal
here last summer.

So, what, McCloon has
a whistle-blower in his midst?

Young, idealistic junior
associate sees something wrong,

feels bad about it, slips
us a warning in our depos.

I could see that.

Okay, this is what we do.

We do our homework
and look into juror number two.

And juror number 11.

Mm-hmm.
Or juror number 11.

We go to the judge if we have anything.

You don't want a mistrial, right?

No.
Ray was good on the stand.

The jury liked him.

And McCloon's defense seems
to be a variation

on holding his breath and
threatening to turn blue.

This trial is sounding
more and more fun.

Let's see if you got
a bad juror on your hands.

Put in for an alternate.
Okay. I'll put

Kalinda and cary on it.

Excuse me...

but I'd like to do this.

Okay.

Juror number two is Marilyn Wolk,

a hairdresser from South Bridgeport.

We scored her an 85 positive
on our bias scale,

One of the highest
scores we've ever given,

so we believe she's
firmly in your camp.

Now, I know that you pay me
only to help select jurors,

But if I knew what you were after,

I could offer further consultation.

No.

This is good.

Keep going.

Uh, juror number 11 is Calvin Tober.

He's a grad student in
comparative history.

We scored him only a 62% positive

on our bias scale...

Well within the range of acceptability,

but we like him.

Being African-American,
he's more prone

to mistrust authority.

He's intelligent, but not to
the point of overcoming bias.

Not like Asians or Mexicans.

We talk in racial stereotypes
because you pay us to,

and we find racial profiling works.

But if I'm not needed...

You're not needed.

Thank you.

You've got issues?

Paying her $100,000 for three months

of high school-level psychology...

Yeah, I guess I do have issues.

Okay.

So, what are we thinking?

Wolk worked as a rent-a-chair
hair stylist, right?

Which means she only gets paid

when she actually has a customer.

She could have claimed
financial hardship

and ducked jury duty.

So why didn't she?

Civic duty?

Jury tampering pays better.

Okay.

But let's look into both.

Okay.

Hi. I hate to trouble you,

but I'm from the next building over

and the delivery man left this
at my door by mistake.

Is there a Mr. Tober in the building?

Hi.

I'm sorry to bother you.

My name's Kalinda,
and my husband and I

were thinking of buying
a home in the area.

I can always come back later,

if you know what time he gets home.

We're interested in the preschool

around the corner and...

or anyone else in his family.

I just wanted to get a sense
of the neighborhood.

Tober, I think his name is.

Usually, I don't like
black people much,

but he seems nice.

They're the wolks.

She's a hairdresser.

And he's... actually,
I think he's out of work.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.
Mmm.

Hard times, isn't it?
Mm-hmm.

But their house is so lovely.

Looks like they put a lot into it.

Storm windows in front

and air-conditioning...

they bought a car, too.

Guess they came into some money.

Hey, there he is now.

That's the husband... Derek.

Oh, gosh!

I'm sorry.

I forgot...
I have to meet the realtor. Oh!

Thanks so much for your time.

Objection, Your Honor.

Is this really necessary?

The demorys are seeking damages

for loss of consortium,
Your Honor.

The jury needs to understand that loss.

Counsel...
Sir, the term, "consortium,"

is not limited...
I know what the term

consortium means.
Counselors, please.

I have prided myself in
not using my gavel once

in my 30 years on the bench...

What's going on?
But you are truly making me reconsider.

What?
Now, Miss Lockhart,

I just... oerruled.

Ka-ching.

I heard you were on

some hush-hush project.
What is it?

It's hush-hush.

Mrs. Demory,

before your husband's stroke,

how often did you
have sexual relations?

I don't know... I guess...

twice a week.

And since the stroke,

how often do you have sex?

I don't know.

Would you say it was less?

Yes.

Less.

But your husband

isn't completely paralyzed
from the waist down, is he?

No.

No, I'm fine.

I'm just...

angry at myself for
letting him get to me.

Well, it's hard when they
treat your private life

Like a crime scene.

Yeah.

But I guess there are...
greater tragedies.

Alicia Florrick.

Ah. Alicia.

I'm glad I got you.
It's Daniel.

Who?

Peter's lawyer.

Oh, hi.

Do you have a minute?

Actually, I'm a bit busy.

I was just wondering if you had

a chance to look for the Kozko letters.

We're struggling
with these weekend meetings

That he had with Peter,

um, last March.

Uh, the ninth,
the 16th and the 25th.

I haven't looked yet.

Anything that will show

that Peter did not know,
going into those meetings,

there was something
untoward will help us.

Oh, uh...

Alicia, um...

I was chatting with
the headmaster at briarcrest

on another matter,
and he mentioned

that they have
scholarships for your kids.

Mr. Golden.

Yes?

Don't. Please.

Yes.

I'm sorry.

$35,000 can buy you a lot of stuff.

That's a bit tenuous, isn't it?

Her husband works at McCloon's firm?

Look, I'm not saying
it's a smoking gun.

I'm just saying that she
didn't put it on her voir dire,

So if we wanted to get rid of her,
we can.

I say we bring it to Diane
and see what she says, okay?

Thanks. Bye.

Zach, give me back the remote!

We've already seen this one.

Shh. Not so loud.

I don't hear the front door.

Is she gone?

Oh, I thought for sure
she suspected something.

Oh, yes!

Zach, give me the camera.

I'm not alone in this.
I am not alone in this.

It wasn't even my idea!

Let's go!

Hurry up.
Yeah.

Okay.

Here we go.

Put a lot of this on, right?

Do we have sprinkles?

Hurry up. She's coming back.

What the heck do you do?

I don't know;
it's a little too thick.

All right...
I'm gonna do a little surgery.

I just wanted to lay on it a little...

You know what I mean?

Straighter.
Yeah, push it...

I know,
but it's sticking to the bottom.

Dad, you were supposed
to get rose petals

already petaled, not roses.

I know,
but this is what I have.

Dad, that looks...
Okay.

How does that look?
That looks terrible.

Oh, my gosh.

That looks expensive.

There goes your college education.

Okay, let's get ready.

The day you were talking about...
the 16th...

the day he was supposedly with Kozko...

Well, he couldn't have been.

He was with us the whole day.

Okay.

I'll bring it by your office...
30 minutes.

Hey, jackie?

I'm heading out.

Oh, but I'm making dinner.

Wow.

That's big.

Mmm.

Where did this come from?

Well, it was on the doorstep.

I think it's from your work.

It's very nice of your firm,
wasn't it?

Uh, dear, what...

Oh, dear.

Alicia, what are you doing?

What else was in the basket?

I don't know. Bananas.

Anything else?
I don't know.

Cookies?

Oh, good. I'm so glad.

Uh... you have the tape?

Why, yes.

And something else, too.

A gift.

What is it?

Ham, ipods,

some half-eaten bananas.

Don't you ever try to buy me.

And don't you ever try to buy my kids.

You understand that?

We're still working on the
other juror... juror number 11.

And we're not saying
that juror number two

was definitely bought off.

We just think that based on appearances

and the fact that it
just takes one bad juror

to toss out a favorable verdict,

We should use that as pretext

to bump juror number two
and put in the alternate.

They make a good point.

Better to be safe than sorry.

What does the jury consultant
say about the alternate?

The alternate's a republican.

Not as good for us
as the current juror.

So what if juror number
two wasn't bought off?

I've just replaced a good juror
with a bad alternate.

So, smoke out McCloon.

Bring the potential bias to the judge,

but don't insist on
replacing juror two.

Just bring it up.

And if McCloon goes crazy,
you know she was bought,

And fight for her expulsion.

And McCloon doesn't go nuts?

Just say you were following your duty

As an officer of the court.

Back off.

It's your call.

We don't know what this means,
Your Honor.

We just know it wasn't in
juror number two's voir dire.

I don't even look at the
guards at my reception;

I go straight down to
the parking garage.

I don't understand,
Miss Lockhart...

Do you want juror number two
off the jury or not?

Well, we're undecided,
Your Honor.

We merely felt an obligation

to bring it to the court's attention.

Hey, if Miss Lockhart has
any hesitation at all,

I say let's dump her.

Of course,
we are willing to stipulate

to the fairness of this.

Let's just put in the alternate.

We have no objection,
Your Honor.

All right, fine.

Juror number two is out.

We'll put in the alternate.

We got played.

What happened?

It was a McCloon setup.

He put the placemat in our depos

to get us to dump our best juror.

We don't know that.

McCloon didn't fight it.

He welcomed it.

He wanted number two off the jury.
Right.

Because we were wrong.

It wasn't number two.

It was number 11.

Or it was no one.

Okay, maybe.

But we find out.

I don't know.

We thought number two looked guilty

because she wanted to serve on a jury.

But she was just being a good person.
So?

So, if that x was on juror number five

or eight or anyone,

we would pry into their lives
and we would find something,

because from the outside
people look guilty.

Yeah, and sometimes,

people from the outside look guilty

because they are guilty.

I mean, what's your point?
We don't look?

I don't know.

I don't like prying.

Then don't.

Let me.

Oh, thank God.

I hope you can help me.

I just locked myself out

of 4b and I left my purse inside.

So, where's Tober?
He left earlier.

Jury duty, I think.

But he said to ask the super...

Hey, you're Ozzie, right?

Yeah.
But I've never seen you before.

Look, I know this is awkward, okay?

I met Calvin last night.

He let me sleep in while he went off.

Please.

I'm already so late for work.

In our phase I and phase ii trials,

we never once found a causal link

between Zennapril and
brain stem stroke.

Dr. Winsor,

is it possible that Mr.
Demory took a wrong

dosage of Zennapril for
his migraine headache?

Well, he shouldn't have taken
any Zennapril at all.

It's not indicated for headache relief.

Zennapril's not

approved for migraines?

No.

It's a powerful drug

intended only for patients
suffering schizophrenia.

I want to apologize for last night.

I sent that basket before
we had our conversation.

No one will ever send
you anything again.

Thank you.

I, uh...

I don't mean to keep doing this.

I need to ask another favor...

regarding the videotape
that you gave me.

Okay.

On the tape was a present...
a bracelet.

I need you to look for the receipt.

Why?

I want to use the videotape to
try to get Peter a new trial.

I think it's very effective.

But I'm afraid that the
prosecution will suggest

that the present wasn't
paid for by Peter.

Why would they suggest that?

Mrs. Florrick, as you know,

technically, I don't represent you.

I represent your husband.

And so, as much as I would like
to be completely forthcoming,

in these circumstances,
I don't believe I can.

So Kozko gave Peter things,

And you believe Peter
regifted these things...

This bracelet... to me?

I can say this:

It would be helpful if
we could find the receipt.

Alicia...

If it's money you're concerned about...

What?

You don't have to be so proud.

I know you're carrying a great deal

of responsibility right now.

The rent alone...

Well, I just want you to know

that I have more than enough room.

Oh! You know,
we're okay for now.

But thanks.

Yeah?

Hold on. Kalinda?

Hello?

Hi, it's Alicia.
I'm returning your call.

Who was that?

Donna.

Look, I found out something

about juror number 11,
Calvin Tober.

I was talking to the
super in his building,

and he let me into his apartment.

Why would he let you
into his apartment?

You really want to know?

No.

Here's the thing:
Tober's bank account...

He just deposited $20,000 in cash.

I think we have our bribed juror.

Yes, it's ours.

You lost the receipt?

And I need a copy for my tax records.

It's a beautiful piece.

One of our finest.

When was it purchased?

Um...

February or March.

Maybe January.

I'm sorry,
you said "Florrick."

Yes.

I found the receipt,
but it's not under Florrick.

Might it be under a different name?

I'm not sure.

What name do you have?

I'm sorry,

I'm not able to give
out that information.

Could the name be Kozko?

I'm sorry.

I'm afraid I can't give
out that information.

Hey!

So, I tracked down Tober's ex-wife.

She says he was five months
behind on alimony.

Then last week,
he paid her ten grand.

He claims he took out a second
mortgage on his house.

Is that all?

Tober doesn't own a house.

Did you hear me?

Yeah.

Kalinda, do you know
someone named Kozko?

Gerald Kozko?

The real estate developer.

What does he have to
do with my husband?

I don't know... does he have
anything to do with him?

You worked at the state's
attorney's office for how long?

Two years.

Did you ever see anything?

Like what?

Payoffs, gifts... I don't know.

I don't even know if I want to know.

Look, you don't go to the
state's attorney's office

to find saints.

I'll get back to you about Tober.

If his payoff's $35,000,

then McCloon owes him another $15,000.

My guess is he gets it
before deliberations.

That's at the end of today.

I better rush then.

Objection, Your Honor!

This is a research document,
not promotional material.

Overruled.

Then let me continue quoting:

"primary outcome for Zennapril
include a 40% reduction

in the average
frequencies of migraines."

We test drugs for all
possible outcomes.

It doesn't mean that
we recommend them.

Could you please tell the court...

What this is, doctor?

Objection.
We haven't seen this.

Discovery materials, item 469.

I'll help you, sir.

This document is an
application to the emea,

seeking approval to market
Zennapril in Europe

as a migraine medication.

Am I correct?

Yes.

Filed 20 months ago.

Dr. Winsor,

would you please tell the court

whose signature is on this application?

Uh, my signature.

No further questions,
Your Honor.

Then that concludes
the trial testimony.

We'll finish the day with summations

and jury instructions,

and then ladies and
gentlemen of the jury,

the trial moves into your hands.

And she's sure it was a payoff?

No.
She saw an envelope exchange hands,

but she doesn't know what
was inside the envelope.

And she didn't see the driver?

No. She saw a dark green SUV.

Uh, Kalinda saw a partial plate... j15.

She's running it now, crossing
it with make and model,

but that could take a while.

Start with McCloon's legal team.

Oh, I don't know.

The jury's already deliberating.

They've sent word to the judge

they may have a verdict by today.

So if we pull the trigger,
we do it now.

I'd have to bring the judge everything.

The place mat,
the $35,000, the alimony.

You request another juror now,
it'd be a definite mistrial.

But I feel like the jury was with me.

I mean, the summation...
they were nodding.

They want to give this to us.

Yes, unless juror 11 torpedoes it.

Either way,
we're risking a mistrial.

Damn. This is roulette.

This isn't law.

We're talking about

a felony crime here;
we have an obligation.

The judge wants you in chambers.

This should be interesting.

In the next ten minutes, we're
going to figure something out.

Your honor, I would like to request a private meeting.
Your honor, may I please...?

In the meantime,
I would like silence.

Not McCloon silence,

not Lockhart silence,

Just silence.

Unless I point to you,

You will not speak.
Your honor?

Sergeant Largon!

Sergeant, come in, please.

And wait right there.

Anyone who speaks without my permission

will be held in contempt.

Now, the jury has reached a verdict.

I'm holding that verdict

until we settle an
issue that has arisen.

The foreman has approached me
about being followed by someone

from one of your legal teams.

Who would that be?

You may speak.
Your honor,

we have reason to believe
that Mr. McCloon bribed

one of the jurors.

We intended

to bring these charges to Your Honor,

but first, we wanted to be
certain of our information.

And so you had one of
the jurors followed?

Your honor,

I am stunned.

Mr. McCloon, without

the outrage, please.

Clearly, Miss Lockhart
has nothing solid,

and she's trying to torpedo

this verdict before it comes in.

She's worried it won't go in her favor.

All right, Miss Lockhart, I am

holding you in contempt.

You owe the legal defense fund $80,000

to be paid no later than Friday

of next week.

And I think I am damn
well owed an apology.

Uh, uh, uh!

I did not point to you.

That'll be $10,000,
Mr. McCloon.

Now...

we are all going back
into that courtroom,

and we are all living
with this verdict.

If you have evidence of jury tampering,

Miss Lockhart,
take it up on appeal.

Too many people have selflessly

invested their time

for your playground tactics
to throw this into a mistrial.

Now, that's it.

Ladies and gentleman of the jury,

have you reached a verdict?

Yes, Your Honor.

And what is your verdict?

"We, the jury,
find for Raymond Demory

and against

the defendant Zennapril pharmaceutical.

And we assess damages
in the sum of $800,000

in compensatory damages

and three million in punitive damages."

Thank you for your service

to the state of Illinois.

The jury is dismissed.

Court adjourned.

Settle, and I won't pursue an appeal.

I still have my class action clients.

Right. I'll get you some
numbers by the end of the day.

So, we were wrong?

It happens.

People sometimes just look guilty.

Alicia?

Thank you.

Oh, it was... it was all Diane.

I want you to have something.

These are the people
that you helped today.

Thanks again.

It really is amazing.

Is it?

Yes.

Ever been to the hungry kitten?

The restaurant?

Sure. Ray loves it.

And you borrowed our deposition books?

Yes.

Why?

Wow.

Diane wanted us to look through
ray's earlier statements.

You didn't have to do it.

You would have won.

We did win.

They bribed the foreman.

Our clients did.

They drive a dark green SUV.

Their license plate prefix

is j15.

There was no whistle-blower.

Our clients bribed the jury.

Maybe.

No. It's true.

We need to bring this to the judge.

We already did.

We brought our suspicions
to the judge,

and he overruled us.

Yes, but now we know.

We fulfilled our
obligation under the law.

It's wrong.

No.

We follow the law, Alicia.

Sometimes it's wrong,

sometimes it's right,

but we always follow the law.

And today, you helped a lot
of people in pain find justice.

How are you doing?

Good.

I hear that work is going well.

It is. It's good.

You sound like Grace.

"How's school?"
"Good."

"How are your teachers?"
"Good."

Are you having fun?

That's the most important thing.

Fun as Disneyland.

Well, I'm... I'm, uh...

I'm glad you're making
a life for yourself.

It gives you a break from this whole...

situation.

Right, Daniel?

Alicia can handle herself,
I know that.

So...

uh...

Daniel and I wanted to talk
to you about something.

Alicia, um, we've been going
over our appeal strategy,

and, um...

we need you to

do something that we didn't expect.

We need you to testify.

I'm sorry,

but we have gone over this
every which way we could, and...

we need you to say

on the stand when you found out

about the affair,
so that we can show

that Peter was lying to protect you.

Oh, um, from the affair.

Well, I mean,

It's Bill Clinton all over again.

Remember what we used
to say about him?

They were using sex to crucify him.

They're doing exactly
the same thing to me.

Crucifying you?

Alicia,

we need you to do this.

I wouldn't ask you if I didn't need it.

Will you testify?
