The Good Wife (2009–2016): Season 2, Episode 18 - Killer Song - full transcript

It's about our mission.

That's what you care about,
more than anything.

Peter helped you change your name
at the state's attorney's office

when you worked there.
Peter helped you change your name.

And you slept with him.

You're wrong.

That's good.

Because I told the ASA,
and of course,

you know, they have their process.
They'll probably...

Probably interview
everyone involved,

and they'll get it all straightened out.



See you around, Kalinda.

Hey, what happened?
Did you see Blake?

Yeah.

What did he say?

Kalinda?

Nothing. Just...

Just the usual.

I, um...

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Alicia, where are you?

Home. Why?

Do you wanna talk?

No. I'II, um...



I'll see you tomorrow. Yeah?

- Yeah. It's me. What?
- Cary?

- Kalinda?
- What are you doing?

What am I doing?

I'm making an omelet.
What do you think?

- Where are you?
- I need some help.

Okay.

- Now?
- Did you see Blake today?

- Uh, no. Why?
- He said he was interviewed

by an ASA.

Do you think you might know
who that is?

No.

But I wouldn't worry about it.
Childs doesn't have a case anymore

and Blake is AWOL.

Cary, I think Blake might have
something on me.

And I think he might've told it
to an ASA.

- Can you find out?
- Sure.

What does he have on you?

- Can you find out?
- Sure.

Thanks. Bye.

- So you think he's well?
- I believe that,

based upon a reasonable degree
of medical and psychiatric certainty,

that he is no longer in need
of any mental health services.

In-patient or out-patient.

You do know that he tortured,
raped and killed Malory Cerone?

I do. Mr. Bowes was unwell when
he committed that crime 30 years ago.

He was found not guilty
by reason of insanity

and committed to a psychiatric
treatment center and not to a prison.

- Didn't know you'd be here.
- I didn't know I would either.

Couldn't stay away.

For 30 years, he has been treated.

I can say without hesitation
he is a different man

than the man
who committed that crime.

Oh, you mean when he did this?

- Don't look.
- I've seen them before.

You don't understand.
These photos are indeed horrifying.

But they were committed
by an insane man.

This is the woman
he tortured and killed.

- I know.
- And did you know her daughter

is in court today?

I did not know that. I'm sorry.
I know it's hard to hear,

but justice has been done here.

The man who killed your mother
no longer exists.

I'm sorry.

I'm very sorry.

He's out in a week.

So now it's up to you guys.
Keep him from getting rich.

We'll do our best.

Uh, hey. Alicia.

Tell Kalinda to stop worrying
about the grand jury.

I'm not finding Blake
did any more interviews,

so there shouldn't be
any more subpoenas.

Okay. Good to know. I'll tell her.

Are you considering divorce?

Should your husband resign?

Please,
I need to get my baby home.

The congressman's wife
has no comment

after revelations regarding his affair.

Why are they still in the news?

She should divorce him
and get it over with.

- Then people will stop chasing her.
- This is not good.

Why? It has nothing to do
with you guys.

Everything has to do with us guys.

Voters are like amoebas.
They suck everything up

- and don't distinguish.
- Is that what amoebas do?

So that's the other woman, huh?

- She's pretty.
- Of course she's pretty.

Now the story will own the week.
You know, I do have work

- to get on with here.
- Why does America suck?

America does not suck.

People suck.

What, and you think Israel
will suck any less?

It'll suck different.

So that didn't end well, did it?

There was nothing to end well
or not well.

I went for dinner with her. That's all.

I was trying to find out
if she was undocumented

when she worked as a nanny
for Wendy Scott-Carr.

- And she was.
- So it was all just a political scheme?

- It was information-gathering.
- Oh, come on, Dad. I saw your face.

- I saw how happy you were.
- I have great control over my face.

I can make people believe...

- Oh, I'm so sorry. Was I boring you?
- I have to go study.

Don't misbehave. Control that face.

No. It's not her fault.

She's been in America
since she was two years old.

Natalie Flores
has become a flashpoint

for Illinois illegal-alien policy,

which some have decried
as the most lenient in the nation.

Drive on out
You're gonna drive on out

You need to drive on out
Just drive on out

The girl is alone
In the blink of an eye

You tell her to drive, drive, drive
And, bitch, don't cry

The city's too loud

- And the lyrics were credited to him?
- To Jarvis Bowes. Copyright 2010.

Band dedicated
the whole album to him.

- How is it doing?
- Currently number three

- on the Billboard 200.
- And monetarily?

Bowes has $800,000 in royalties
coming to him, but it'll go higher.

Still not a lot.

You should hear from Rhonda.
She isn't interested in the money.

She just wants to stop him
from getting rich from a song

- about killing her mom.
- Yes, I understand her reasoning.

What's ours?
This was one of Bond's cases.

It looks good.
Being on the side of angels

suing a monster.
It'll draw some attention.

So, what, intentional infliction
of emotional distress?

Worked in a few other states.
Let's see if it works here.

- He got out?
- He's being released next week.

- And we're ready to go?
- Bond had all the

- emotional-distress arguments ready.
- Okay, but we can't keep carrying

- all of Bond's cases.
- You signed off?

I'm signed off.

Okay. So Bowes' lawyer will argue
it's his First Amendment right.

If they lose that,
they may go after the song.

Say it has nothing
to do with the crime.

Want us to make sure the song
is actually about the rape and murder?

Yes. Whatever you can get to connect
the imagery to the crime.

And we'll never use it,
but just in case.

Won't this be fun?
Finding clues in bad poetry.

Don't worry. I'm not gonna comment.

- About what?
- The Colorado congressman

and his skinny-dipping girlfriend.
That's why you're here, right?

- No.
- Eli. Come on in.

- I don't understand.
- Her legal fight for citizenship

was complicated by the recent
situation in the news,

and I don't think her current lawyer
is quite up to it.

- This is Natalie Flores?
- Yes. A DePaul University student.

- Actually, ex-student.
- Wendy Scott-Carr's nanny?

Yes.

- Ex-nanny.
- So do you mind if I ask?

Rumor is that your campaign
was instrumental in exposing

- her undocumented status.
- Yes, well, you know I can't comment

on that, but this has nothing to do
with the campaign.

This is something I want handled.

Sure. I will call her
and offer our services.

Great. Thank you. One more thing.
I'd rather it wasn't mentioned

- that I had anything to do with this.
- If the press asks?

No, if she asks.

Okay.

Good to know.

We value your business, Eli.

You were thinking about running
for a judgeship at one point.

I was.

You should think about it again.

Pass the freeway signs
Pass the telephone lines

Where no one...

Is it perverse
I'm sort of starting to like this?

That is perverse.

You see any connections?
Carcass, kitchen sink.

- It's all too generic.
- Bloody gearshift.

Yep. That's one connection.

So Cary checked to see
if there were any more interviews

with Blake, and he said
he couldn't find any.

What?

Cary came to me, said you should
stop worrying about another subpoena.

Okay.

What happened?
Did Blake say something?

No.

You still have that bad feeling?
Something bad's gonna happen?

No.

Are you happy?

Am I happy?

Yeah. With your life, your home?

I don't know.

I guess so.

It's like when a storm is over,
is it happiness?

Or is it just a relief?

You're gonna drive on out

I don't understand.

We wanna help you.
We've been seeing you in the news.

We believe your case
has been mishandled.

Natalie, this is Alicia Florrick.

She's worked
on other immigration cases.

I've asked her to help here.

We are in a consortium of law firms
who promise a certain percentage

of pro bono hours each year, Natalie.

So we offer you the service
free of charge.

- Why?
- Why?

Because we think we can help you.

When did your parents bring you
to the United States, Miss Flores?

1986.

You were 2?

- Yes.
- The problem we're facing

is this, Natalie.
You know what the Dream Act is?

I do. It's a path to citizenship

- for people like me.
- Yes. But its political defeat

has made it paradoxically harder.

Politicians are less willing
to support the undocumented.

Especially someone like you
with a high profile.

So you're going to need a sponsor
with three years of legal residence.

My aunt filed the l-864 form.

Good. The fact that your case
was already in the works

should keep you
out of any immediate trouble.

And we'll need you to have a job.

- Do you have one at the moment?
- I do.

Day trading.

Day trading?

Uh, the stock market?

Well, currency exchanges too.

For clients?

A few professors at school.

It's not a lot of money,
but I do offer

a fairly consistent 12-percent return.

I was thinking more like a nanny job,
but that should work, I would think.

- You're Peter Florrick's wife.
- I am.

Do you know that I used to be
Wendy Scott-Carr's nanny?

I do.

It's kind of odd how this is working,
me being helped by your firm.

Yes. It is odd.

- Did Eli Gold ask you to do this?
- No. Diane did.

So why don't you give me a call
when you get

all your documentation together?

Am I being used here?

I don't know.

But you know what
the best thing to do if you are?

- What?
- Use them right back.

Hi, Cary. Um, can you call me
straight back? Thanks.

Why do you wanna know?

Why do I wanna know if you were
the last one to interview Blake?

- I didn't see any interview notes.
- Right, because I have them here.

You were out that day,
so I talked to him.

Okay. Anything I should know?

I don't know.

Who asked you to ask?

- Do we have a problem here?
- I didn't think so.

Just wondering why you're asking me
about a dead case.

Okay.

I'm out the door. You see?
This is the door, me, and me going.

Sorry, man.

It's a tense place around here
these days.

Yeah. Baghdad after Saddam.

The point is to survive.

It was a lark.
It was our Guns'N'Roses moment.

A very lucrative lark.

Yeah, well, all the best tracks are,
aren't they?

It was just a goof.
Kind of a new-millennium art.

You know? Collage.

Yeah. Collage. From the killer.

Yeah, well, art is art, isn't it?

Didn't Norman Mailer kill somebody
or something?

So how did you get the song?

- Where are you from, darling?
- Nearby.

How did you get the song?

From him. The killer.
What's his name? Jarvis?

- Jarvis Bowes.
- Yeah. He sent it about a year ago

from his mental hospital.

Love getting submissions
from mental hospitals.

Always open them first.

So, what is your accent?

So he sent you the lyrics?

No. A tape. God-awful stuff.
Sounded like a dying porpoise.

And when I said
I wanted to record it,

he said he wanted
to change some lyrics.

Guy's in a mental hospital,
suddenly he thinks he's Ray Davies.

So, uh,

you gonna stay for the set?

Can I see the tape?

Drive on out where no one can see

You drive on out
Under the Christmas tree

"Christmas tree."
That's not in the newer version.

Popcorn smell that won't come off

The bloody cow guard

"Popcorn"? "Bloody cow guard"?
I would call that more than generic.

- Where you going?
- The scene.

See if anything else
in the song connects to it.

Hello?

Hmm.

Hello? Hello?

- Phone your sister.
- She's just gonna say

go with the public defender.

Then maybe we should go
with the public defender.

Just give me one minute,
okay, Dad?

Hi. This is Natalie Flores
for Diane Lockhart.

When will she be in?
It's very important.

No. It has to be today.

Okay. Thanks.

Well, uh, considering
Wendy Scott-Carr has outspent us

by almost two-to-one,
I'd say, uh, we were the underdog.

I'm sorry. I have to take another call.
I'll call you back.

Hello. Hi. This is Eli.

It's me.

Yes, I know. How are you?

You asked Lockhart-Gardner
to help me?

- What?
- Eli, you were the one who asked

Lockhart-Gardner to help me.

- Yes. But it's not what you think.
- Eli, I need you to call them.

My father's been arrested.
And they won't return my calls.

My dad is gonna be processed
in an hour, which means that

his name is gonna be
in the system as undocumented.

Eli. How are you?

Uh, no. I didn't get the message.

Um, actually, can that wait?
I'm a little bogged down.

No. It can't wait. I'm sorry.

Diane, you asked me last week
if I was happy at Lockhart-Gardner.

I am, but I don't want to be unhappy.
She needs your help now.

I'm on my way.

Just drive on out

Where no one can see

You drive on out
Under the Christmas tree

- Then what happened?
- I received a 2-M-1 call

- for a burglary with forcible entry.
- You saw Mr. Flores at the scene?

In the vicinity. There was a report
of a Hispanic burglar with a weapon

driving away.

And I saw Mr. Luis Flores
driving a similar automobile.

A similar make and model?

We're just holding him
for questioning, ma'am.

Yes. Unfortunately, in a few minutes,
Dispatch will be sending

his name on to ICE
as undocumented.

Well, that's not under my purview.
I'm investigating a burglary.

It was a different
make and model, wasn't it?

Ma'am, you can leave my desk now.

You saw a Hispanic man
driving his car near the burglary scene

and took him in for questioning.

Talk to the judge,
I'm not talking to you anymore.

He's innocent of the burglary,
but he will be deported

if you keep holding on to him.

Are you all right?

Yes.

You can go now, if you want.

No. I'm fine.

Whatever this is doing
for you, Mr. Gold,

whatever guilt this is satisfying,

you don't have to worry. I'm fine.

Do you see this, ma'am?

This key?

Mr. Flores is now
in the system. Have a good day.

Yep. One court after another.
That's my life.

You just behave and everything
will be all right. You're an artist now.

Babette Penn.

Will Gardner.

I like your suit.

I like yours.
How is it representing a killer?

Oh, you're not gonna be a killjoy,
are you?

I might. I'm not sure yet.

He's really nice
when you get to know him.

Psycho wants you.

- What do you think?
- I think you should go.

Hi.

- I'm a fan.
- Of?

You. From way back.

The news conference,
standing by your man.

I wrote a song about it.

- How gratifying.
- I'll send it to you.

Oh, goodie.

Let's not make this boring, shall we?

What do you suggest?
Tequila shots?

Ha, ha. Oh, you're funny.
No, I'm punting

- on the First Amendment.
- Really?

What's the fun
in a constitutional argument?

- You win a quick verdict.
- Yeah. You can bankrupt my client

with appeal after appeal
and my client's song

- has nothing to do with his past crime.
- Ah.

Good luck with that.

- Just a warning.
- Hmm.

I play dirty.

You know when I said we'll never
use what you guys are going after?

Change of plans.

Based on this, Your Honor,
we ask for a summary judgment

- of Mr. Gardner's suit.
- A quick correction, Your Honor.

This suit is not mine.

It is Miss Cerone's, whose mother
was raped and murdered.

Yes. And unfortunately
for Mr. Gardner,

that case was adjudicated
over 30 years ago

and we are now in civil court.

You aren't objecting
on First Amendment grounds.

In the interest of a quick and tidy
summary judgment,

we argue this suit should be dismissed
on the facts.

Which should be heard by a jury.

Because you wanna inflame
the jury's passions.

No, Your Honor.
Because the facts are persuasive.

As you can see from these
revised lyrics, Your Honor,

Mr. Bowes changed the words
in his song

to avoid similarities to his crime.

And those changed lyrics mention
an embedded cow guard

which you can see
in this photo from the scene.

- Really?
- Do you have a minute?

- I need to talk to you.
- That's the connection

Mr. Gardner is making?

The lyrics also make reference
to Christmas trees, Your Honor.

And as you can see
from this map and photo,

within a quarter mile
of the crime scene

is the Grayton Family
Christmas Farm.

Now, Your Honor, we argue that
Miss Penn's motion be dismissed

and we continue to trial.

Miss Penn.
Do you have anything?

Your Honor, yes, we do.
The Grayton Christmas Tree Farm

was not in existence 30 years ago.

Is this true, Mr. Gardner?

Your Honor, uh, we would
request a recess to study this.

I checked around
on who last interviewed Blake,

and there were no interview notes,
so I thought there was no interview.

But it turns out there was.

Matan Brody interviewed him last.

And what did he say?

- Matan?
- Yeah.

He said he interviewed Blake last,
and he was keeping

the interview notes
under lock and key.

Why?

I don't know. He wouldn't say.

Did he tell you what was
in the interview?

- No.
- Did you tell Matan

- I was the one asking?
- No.

- Why?
- Cary, will you do me a favor?

If you find out anything else,
will you just come and talk to me?

No one else.

I talked to Alicia
because she was your lawyer.

I know.

Don't worry.
You're not gonna get subpoenaed.

Childs won't come after you again.

Thanks.

They're right. The Christmas-tree farm
is only 18 years old.

Okay. Well, we all need to do
a bit of musical archeology here.

What is the connection between
these lyrics and the crime scene?

And why did he change
those lyrics especially?

Kalinda, where are you on this?

Nowhere.

Great.

Well, let's get somewhere.

Alicia, call for you.

Thank you. Hello?

- Alicia Florrick?
- Uh, yes.

- Who is this?
- You know who this is.

I can tell from your voice
you know who this is.

Is this Mr. Bowes?

Yes. I need a lawyer.

Mr. Bowes, you have a lawyer.
And we can't be speaking.

I need another lawyer.

There's a website that is dedicated
to illegally downloading my music.

You can be speaking
if he waives his rights.

And you want another lawyer
to battle illegal downloads?

You're gonna lose tomorrow.
The case will be dismissed,

and then I'll need someone to
sue over illegal downloads.

I need to remind you that I
work for the firm

representing the adverse party
in your current dispute,

and I can't talk to you unless
you've talked to your current lawyer.

I already did. She was great.
Why do you stay with your husband?

I don't know.

Why did you change your lyrics?

I'm an artist. You know, they did
spectrographic studies

of Fra Angelico paintings, and they
found rough sketches beneath them.

- Ah, so you were revising to improve?
- I was revising

because my life is a revision.

And the Christmas tree,
that was just an improvement?

Well, it wasn't the best rhyme,
was it?

I guess I shouldn't talk art
with a lawyer.

- It's up to you.
- Art is about personalizing, isn't it?

Lawyers think in terms of the macro,
artists the micro.

I see. And what's the micro here?

Ooh. Is this important
for our lawsuit?

Our lawsuit against illegal downloads?
You decide.

I wanna remake my life.

Like you have.

How do I do that?

Well, it would've helped if you
hadn't killed someone.

Oops.

I can't change the past, can I?

Once a bad person,
always a bad person.

Goodbye.

What do you think?

I think we should be looking
to the personal.

The popcorn smell that won't come off

The bloody cow guard

I don't know.

There are new lyrics, but none of them
seem to connect with the crime scene.

We were wondering
if they might connect to your mom.

- I don't think so.
- Nothing with the Christmas tree?

- Popcorn? Cow guard?
- No, I'm sorry. It was February.

We didn't have a tree up.

And I don't know
what the rest of it means.

This is how it'll work.

Your father was swept up
in a hunt-and-peck.

A burglary charge targeting
a Hispanic adult, 5'10".

There'll be a bond hearing tomorrow,
and he's sure to be released.

The only problem is
he's in the system now.

Immigration has been told
of his identity, and he's scheduled

to be picked up along with
the other undocumented at 3 p.m.

So I need to approach a judge
about accelerating his bond hearing.

Okay, uh...

- What can I do?
- Be at court tomorrow.

Not too far
In the trunk of the car

Where no one
Can hear her scream

The pulsin' of the brain...

- Rhonda, hi.
- Alicia, hi. I just realized I can help.

I was in the elevator
and I just realized...

- What?
- I'm in a group. A survivor's group.

We meet every month. Children
whose parents have been murdered.

There's a woman, Lynn Boyle.
Her mother was raped and murdered

in 1981 in Poplar Grove.
They never found the killer.

- Are you all right?
- Yes. Actually, for the first time

in a long time, I am. Listen,
the things you said in the song,

they don't sound like my mom.
They sound like hers.

We said we'd never talk about this.

- You think I wanna talk about it?
- Then why are we talking about it?

Matan Brody knows.

What're you talking about?
No one knows.

There was another investigator
at Lockhart-Gardner.

He seemed to have found out
and he told Matan.

Does Alicia know?

No.

It was one night.

There's no way
he could've found out.

You know Matan. You hired him.

That's why I think
he's not telling Childs.

Childs is a lame duck.

You're saying Matan wants to see
who wins the election?

My guess is he wants to be kept on
if you win.

Okay.

I'll talk to him.

See you.

Kalinda.

You know that I love Alicia.

I've fallen in love with my wife again.

It would kill her to know this.

I know.

- It was another murder.
- What?

Rhonda told me yesterday.

The lyrics in the song started to
make sense to her,

but not about her mom...
Why was your phone off?

- What are you talking about?
- I tried your cell.

No, no, I mean the song.

Oh. Rhonda is in a survivor group
with the daughter

of a woman named Lynn Boyle.

She was raped and murdered
in Poplar Grove.

She was kidnapped
from her workplace, a movie theater.

The popcorn smell.

Lynn Boyle.
Twenty-eight years old. Mother of two.

She was found in the trunk of her car.
She was carjacked and forced to drive

off into a field
where she was raped and murdered.

No DNA evidence. Some fabric fibers,
but they never matched.

When did this happen?

Um, three months
before Malory Cerone.

Did anyone ever try to connect it
to Bowes before?

Yeah, but it never stuck.
There was nothing of his at the scene.

Kalinda.

The Christmas tree.

We're cutting it close.
We have 25 minutes.

We have to get the paperwork
to the holding cell too.

There he is.
He's here on another case.

Counselor, do we really
have to belabor this situation?

Take the two weeks, please.
Thank you. Next case.

Your Honor, we have a quick
bond matter that is time-sensitive.

- I'm sorry, is this Hank Christie?
- No, Your Honor.

But if you would allow us a moment,
I have another case in civil court.

- Well, that's not up to me, Miss...
- Lockhart.

Miss Lockhart.

- Emily's List, is that right?
- It is, Your Honor. Hello.

I believed
he was connected to the crime.

- I pulled him over.
- But the report stated

that the burglar was between
the ages of 18 and 25.

- Isn't that correct?
- Yes.

- And how old is Mr. Flores?
- Well, he says he's 52.

Officer, I understand the need
to widen the net,

but that would seem awfully wide,
wouldn't it?

- Motion for bond approved.
- Thank you, Your Honor.

And if we could process this
with some haste.

I have a release notice
for Luis Flores.

- Dad!
- Natalia.

- That's my client. He made bond, sir.
- He's being transferred to ICE.

The judge just ordered his release.
This is a mistake.

- That may be, but it's not our mistake.
- No, sir, please,

my father's done nothing wrong.

He's never even had
a parking ticket. Please.

It's not about doing wrong, miss.
He's in the system.

- It's out of my hands.
- It's not out of your hands.

- You know it's not.
- That's just not true, ma'am.

- Dad, I'm sorry.
- Don't say that. I'm okay.

- Hey, Tom, what's up?
- Mr. Gold, how are you?

Good, good. Haven't seen you
at the Sheriff's Association in a while.

- Uh, the wife hates those things.
- Ha, ha. Yeah, rubber chickens.

So, uh, can you help me out here?
Luis is my gardener.

- Uh, I don't know, Mr. Gold. It's ICE.
- It's ICE when he's out the door.

He could be a material witness
in an ongoing investigation.

He could be a material witness
in an investigation.

It's a small gesture.
It would be appreciated.

You can't find good gardeners
these days, you know?

Let me see what I can do.

I'm okay, mijita. I'm okay.

I think we were almost out
of favors in there.

So the lyrics have nothing to do
with your crime?

That is correct. I'm a fan
of Elvis Costello

and Gerard Manley Hopkins,
and I just wanted to try something

that combined their spirits.

- Really?
- Really.

- Did you like the song?
- I think I liked the earlier version.

I hate my first drafts.
Everything's in flux, don't you think?

Hmm. And so the Christmas tree
you mention in the song,

- the lyrics you tried to cover up...
- Objection.

I'm not sure if I should object
to that or just laugh.

- You want some help with that?
- No, I think I've decided. Ha, ha.

- Do you two want us all to leave?
- No, Your Honor.

So the reason you changed
the cow guard in your song

has nothing to do with the murder?

- Correct.
- But you do remember

- seeing the cow guard?
- I don't think I do remember,

but, uh, I'm an intuitive person, so it's
probably in there someplace. Ha, ha.

And the allusion to forcing
a victim to pull over beside a field,

- why did you change those lyrics?
- I thought it was melodramatic.

And yet fairly realistic,
given how you killed her.

- I've tried to block those memories.
- You don't remember

how you killed her, so the song
could be based on your crime?

Objection. Leading question.

Overruled.

No.

I remember my crime enough to know
that it's not connected to the song.

Good. So the allusion to the car trunk,
how was that different from the crime?

Well, the song describes how
I carried her in the trunk,

which is impossible.
I couldn't have done that

because I don't drive a stick.

So you only put her in the trunk
after you killed her?

Yes, l...

Go on. You were saying?

Your Honor, could we take
a short recess?

You were saying about the trunk...

- How you put her in the trunk?
- I didn't do that.

That doesn't have anything
to do with this crime.

Your Honor, please, a recess?

Ten minutes.

That's too bad.
You mixed up the victims.

- leaving many observers wondering

whether this new deal
will push the congressman's wife

even closer to divorce.

The deal for her memoirs
is estimated at $1.3 million.

I say again, America sucks.

What's wrong with that?
Capitalism at work.

What is it with you youth today and
your disgust for everything capitalistic?

You don't think that's disgusting?
She's selling her pain.

To pay her bills.
Better than selling her body.

Actually, I disagree.

Selling her body is
at least more honest.

Oh. How I love these little chats.

So I told Mom
about your little girlfriend.

- Thanks.
- She called it your

campaign palette cleanser.

You always find some crush
in the last month

of the campaign to fixate on.

How I love your mom's little
pop psychology one-liners.

She said it's because
you hate yourself.

- There we go.
- You need to act as savior

to someone or you'll have
to face the fact you do bad things.

- That doesn't even make sense.
- In a sort of screwed-up way, it does.

Why are we even
talking about this again?

Can't we just sit
and enjoy quality time?

She was outside.

- What?
- You asked why I'm talking

about her again. Because I saw her
outside, and we said hi.

Go to her, Dad. Go save her.

Uh, hello?

Hi.

I just wanted to say thank you.

That's all.

- You didn't need to.
- My boyfriend's back from Las Vegas.

I'm just saying that.
It's not a big deal.

- I'm just saying it.
- I'm glad.

- I, um...
- No. No, you don't have to.

- It's not what you think.
- This is just a thank-you.

Natalie, I know. I know.

It's just nice to talk. That's all.

I'm too old to have expectations
of anything other than talk.

- Oh, my God, that sounded terrible.
- No, it's okay.

It's really nice talking to you.

And to you.

Goodbye.

Okay.

Defendant's motion
to dismiss is granted.

- It was always a long shot.
- I know.

- I'm so sorry, ma'am.
- It's okay, buddy.

If there was any way
I could get her back...

- "Them" back.
- If there was any way, I would.

I know you just must hate me.
I hope we can talk sometime.

We have to talk
about those illegal downloads.

- Sure. When you get out.
- Oh, haven't you heard?

- I am out.
- Yeah, I have heard.

Mr. Bowes, you're under arrest
for the murder of Lynn Boyle.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will
be used against you in a court of law.

You have a right to an attorney...

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's okay. You guys just play,
and I'll cook.

Mom, it's tied.

Carl, what's wrong with you?

I kill people and eat their hands.
That's two things.

You have to at least
make references I understand.

Carl.

- Dinner is ready.
- Mom, it's still tied.

- Where's Dad?
- Dad, dinner!

No, I just wanna make sure.

I'm coming!

Listen, Matan, we've always
worked well together.

So you be good to me,
and I'll be good to you.

Okay.

Beat Wendy.

I thought you liked public school.

- I do. I'd stay there.
- I just wanna see what other schools

are out there.
Where would we move to?

I don't know that we would.
Maybe to a bigger apartment.

- Not to Highland Park?
- Mom doesn't want to.

- I didn't say that. It's expensive.
- Isn't the market down?

What, are you following
real estate now?

Hey, Dad. Mom was saying that
we might stay around here

and not go back to Highland Park.

That's right.

Everything good?

As good as it can be.

- Want some pizza?
- I do.

Pass plates. Oh, wow,
you already took two pieces, dude.
