The Good Wife (2009–2016): Season 2, Episode 20 - Foreign Affairs - full transcript

Can we do this later, Eli?

I'm sorry I'm late. Traffic was crazy.

Peter wanted me to check out this
house on my way to work, so please?

No, wait. I just wanted to warn you
the press might call.

Wendy Scott-Carr's husband is doing
his spousal interview with kids.

We discussed this, Eli,
I'm not gonna do an interview.

I didn't say anything.
I'm just saying, you might get a call.

- I'm going now.
- No, wait.

You and the kids are coming tomorrow
for the returns, right?

- I am.
- Not the kids?

Goodbye, Eli.



It's a four-bedroom,
five-and-a-half bath,

1933 Colonial Revival.

Stanley Myers interior.

Beautiful, isn't it?

It is.

You have to see
the formal dining room.

Original hardwood floors.

Two-point-four million, but I'm pretty
sure I can get them down to 2.1.

It's a quiet neighborhood, close to
very good schools, public and private.

It's a divorce,
so they're very motivated.

So the vote's tomorrow, huh?
Mrs. State's Attorney.

Sorry, is that jinxing it?

Excuse me a moment.

- Alicia Florrick.
- Mrs. Florrick, hello.



Andrew Wiley. I'm an investigator
with the State's Attorney's Office.

- I'm a little busy, Mr?
- Wiley.

I won't keep you.

I just need to ask you a few questions
about my investigation.

I was told that investigation
was concluded, Mr. Wiley.

Well, the Kalinda Sharma
investigation was concluded.

This is a new one.

- When can we talk?
- Well, I'm...

That's my call-waiting. Why don't...?
I'll have my assistant call.

- Okay. When?
- Soon.

- Alicia Florrick.
- Hello, Mrs. Florrick.

It's Natalie Flores.

I'm the intern you hired
for the month.

The one with the immigration trouble
who worked as a nanny

for Wendy Scott-Carr
and was fired after...

I know, Natalie. What's up?

Your husband wanted you
to look at the study.

Maybe nothing. Or something.

I don't know the protocol here.

Look, Natalie, I'm a little busy.

I'm sorry. This contract you asked me
to translate for the deposition today,

I was looking at the 2007 extension...

Not the extension,
we already had that translated.

I wanted the side letter translated.

Never mind. I'll just wait
till you get here. It's probably nothing.

No, I'm sorry, Natalie.
It's been a crazy morning. What is it?

Well, I know I'm just an intern here,

and I really don't wanna
get anyone in trouble,

but I think your translator
mistranslated it.

That's my call-waiting. I'll be right in.

- Alicia Florrick.
- Sorry to bother you at home,

but can you come in early?
We have a problem.

Sure. The deposition?

No, the client. He had a heart attack.

- What?
- His daughter's here, Aida.

Oh, my God. When?

Last night. She says he's conscious.
He's out of the ICU,

but he wants us to continue
with the depositions.

He want...? How?

That's what we're trying
to figure out now.

- So can you come in?
- Sure.

Her father always said
this was a cursed suit.

There's no such thing.
But don't say it, because it's unlucky.

I'll see you in 20 minutes.

I thought of you.
It's like your old house.

You ever miss it?

My old house?

Sometimes.

Well, this one is better.

I have to go.

- You haven't even seen upstairs.
- I'll come back.

It is tempting.

What's wrong with being tempted?

It was hard. I won't lie.

These flyers tried
to make our love ugly.

And our daughters were the ones
to bring them home.

Did it make you cry, Elisa?

Yeah, I guess,
but Mom and Dad explained it to me.

Oh, my God, we're screwed.

You've had a strong marriage
for over a decade now, Spencer.

What do you think of the troubles
in the Florrick marriage?

Oh, dear God Almighty.

A marriage that stays together
is to be respected, admired.

Every marriage needs some space.

- We gotta do some polling.
- No.

- Get Florrick's wife to do the interview.
- She won't.

I don't think you get it, Eli.
Or she doesn't.

You're in a race with one day to go,

and he hit a home run
for his wife.

Alicia doesn't have the luxury
to say no,

and you don't have the luxury
to protect her.

I am not protecting her.

I promised her
I would not ask her to do this.

Oh, my God, you promised her.
Well, why didn't you just say that?

I'll be ready in a minute, Andre.
I have to get these to my boss.

We have better health care too.

Canada has the best health care
in the world.

I like it here, Andre. I like the U.S.
I'll be right back.

Just come look at Montreal.
America is dying.

- Hi.
- Hi, show me as we walk.

They do bilingual contracts,
one in English, one in Spanish.

- They're supposed to be identical.
- Okay.

But they're not. Look.

- And on page five...
- Alicia.

Aida.

- He's all right.
- What happened?

He was looking through
their stock reports,

trying to find things to refute them,

and then I told him that he should stop,
that he should rest for today.

And then he just blacked out.
I drove him to the hospital.

- Well, you should be there with him.
- No. He insisted I be here in his place.

He wants me to phone him every hour,
with updates.

This isn't just about the money
anymore, Alicia.

Oh, I'm sorry.
Natalie Flores, this is Aida Rios.

Oh. Hello.

Excuse me. Hello?

Can you stay for the rest of the day?

- Me?
- Yes.

You know what,
just show this to a paralegal.

No, no, no, I can stay.

- I just have to tell my boyfriend.
- Great.

Aida, I'm so sorry.

Your dad is a tough old cuss.
He'll be up and around in no time.

- Thank you.
- And thank you, Mr. Francis,

for agreeing to be deposed.

After a year,
I thought we'd never see you.

Then perhaps you should use
your time more fruitfully.

Thank you, Isabel.
So your company, PlatacoStillman,

made how much in profits last year,
Mr. Francis?

6.7 billion.

Wow. Whew!

The oil business is proving to be
quite lucrative these days, huh?

And how much did you pay Luis Rios
and his company, Latin Star Drilling?

I think you can read the documents,
Mr. Gardner.

You're right, Isabel, I can.

Zero.

And how much did the contract specify
you owed my client?

If Latin Star Drilling fulfilled its
contractual duties, 86 million.

And what were the contractual duties
of Aida's father?

The contractual duties
of Latin Star Drilling were to set up

- and operate oil rigs in Venezuela.
- Which he did.

Not in the time specified. His company
promised to deliver in May 2008,

- they delivered in September.
- Four months late?

That's correct.

Now, your Brazilian facility manager
finished his rig eight months late.

Nigerian contractor
finished a year late.

And yet, you paid both.

Yes. We had agreements
allowing for a late delivery.

Agreements?
Good. Where are they?

Handshake agreements.

Oh, I thought you were joking.

Didn't the reason you refused
to pay Aida's father...

- No, stay.
...have nothing to do with the contract

and everything to do with the changing
political climate in Venezuela?

No.

But you closed your offices
in Caracas in 2008, claiming:

"The socialist policies of the
current president, Hugo Chavez,

have proven unfriendly
to American businesses."

And one week later,

you refused to pay my client's
Venezuelan subsidiary.

Now, it looks to me like you wanted
to get out of Venezuela,

- and you decided to skip on the bill.
- "Looks to me"?

What is that, one of those
new-fangled legal terms?

Mr. Francis,
the contracts with our client

were executed in both Spanish
and English, is that correct?

- It is.
- You speak Spanish, don't you?

I do, fluently.

- What does the word exito mean?
- It means "success."

And yet it is often mistranslated
as "exit," isn't it?

And "exit" is sometimes mistranslated
as exito.

Probably because both words
sound so alike.

Thank you, Rosetta Stone.
What do you have?

Here, in the U.S. copy,
it reads "exit strategy."

And here, in the supposedly
identical Spanish copy,

"exit strategy" is translated
as estrategia de exito,

"success strategy."

- That is such utter...
- The delivery side-letter is now void

because our client never agreed
to the terms of your "exit" delivery date.

That is a technicality.

- He knew what he was signing.
- Okay.

Okay.

Give us an hour.

Dad laughed.
He was sitting up in bed.

He knows we still have a long haul?

He does. It's just the first time
I've heard him laugh in a long time.

- Good job, Alicia.
- Actually, it was...

What's going on?

You know, politics is
just as challenging as acting,

always has been.

What's really hard is fly-fishing.

Well, hello there. You must be...

- Will Gardner.
- Right, right. Glad to meet you.

- Gardner-Lockhart.
- Actually, it's Lockhart-Gardner.

- Are you here to see Diane?
- No. Here to see you.

Me? Really?

Well,

I'm here.

Why are you here to see me?

Well, I hate to say it, Will,
but I'm replacing you.

The PlatacoStillman suit,
I'm the new plaintiff's attorney.

Aida, what's going on?
Your dad's firing me?

- What?
- He's hired an actor?

I'm not just an actor, Will.
I practiced law for 42 years.

- Just like that, he's firing me?
- He's not firing you, Will.

He's no longer the plaintiff.
Over here, boys.

This is the Consul General
of Venezuela.

And this is somebody else,
can't remember his name,

but they're representative
of the Venezuelan oil industry.

And your client's oil facility
has just been nationalized.

- Oh, no.
- Sorry to have to do this,

but, you know,
Venezuela's a socialist country,

and they've just nationalized
Latin Star's drilling subsidiary.

So that means
you're no longer the plaintiff, ma'am,

and you're no longer
the plaintiff's counsel.

They are, and I am.

So thank you very much.
We'll take over from here.

Not to sound too melodramatic,

but over my dead body.

Well, not to sound
equally melodramatic,

but let's dance.

You don't understand.

They pulled within a point,
and that's within the margin of error.

No, you don't understand.

We just went from a case we were
winning to a case that isn't even ours.

I know, and I told you I would never
ask you to do an on-screen interview.

And for nine months, I haven't,
but we need you.

- Peter needs you.
- To ask once is still to ask.

I know, I promise I'll never ask again,
because the election's tomorrow,

and so even if I wanted to,
there isn't time.

Wendy Scott-Carr's husband
did the spousal interview,

and now they have the momentum.

And it's not just about him
giving the interview, it's about you not.

Don't put this on my shoulders, Eli.

It is on your shoulders.

Peter's indiscretions are out front
because you won't speak.

I agreed to leave you out of the politics
because you didn't wanna comment,

but now your absence
is the comment.

- That's not fair.
- Of course, it's not fair.

Politics is not fair.

- Is that...?
- Yes.

- Why...?
- Do you really wanna know?

Alicia, you don't wanna think
three days from now

that you cost Peter the election.

Wow, you are really laying it on.

I believe in Peter.

Peter will be better
than Wendy Scott-Carr.

Why?

Because she is more idealistic
than practical,

and the world chews up
idealistic people.

Peter will not be chewed up.

All I need is two hours this afternoon.
That's all.

Eli, even if I wanted to, I work.

This case has been bubbling along
for a year. It's here.

I can't abandon it, especially
when the client is in the hospital

and Venezuela's trying to steal it.

I'm sorry.

- Hi.
- Hi.

How you doing here?

Good. I love Alicia.
Thank you for making this work.

Oh, no.
They're the ones who needed you.

- How's your father doing?
- He's working on his citizenship.

We're testing each other.

Did you know there are
27 amendments to the constitution?

I did hear something about it.

- I have to go.
- Come tomorrow night.

We're having a party for the candidate.
If we win, I mean.

I don't think that's a good idea,
but thank you.

I have to work. I'll see you tonight?

So you are Mr. Gold?

Do I know you?

I'm Andre.

I'm Natalie's boyfriend. She said
she met a Mr. Gold. That is you?

Yes. It is me.

- We're in love.
- Okay.

You're older than she is.

Am I missing something here?

- I'm just talking. That's all.
- And I'm going.

This is absurd.
Venezuela just nationalized our case?

They nationalized
Latin Star's Venezuelan subsidiary,

so they claim they have the case.

Should I tell my dad?
I'm worried how he'll react.

I wouldn't yet.
It's not certain they can do this.

- And our options?
- We fight it. Federal court.

- Or we delay it.
- How?

Natalie?

Go ahead.

Uh, I... Well, the thing is,

Hugo Chavez tried to nationalize
CEMEX,

a Venezuelan cement company,

but they sued successfully for a delay
to have a fair market value assessed.

Okay, and how do we know this?

Well, when I shorted CEMEX
on the Caracas Exchange,

I took a bath.

Won't be doing that again.

I'm sorry, who are you again?

Natalie Flores.
You hired me as a temp,

but I was a day trader before that,

so if you ever want me
to manage your money...

That was a joke.

Not the part about the day-trading,
that was real.

We hired Natalie for a few weeks
to help her with her citizenship.

Tell them about CEMEX,
what the assessment did.

Right. Well, it bought CEMEX time.
Time to bargain for a better deal.

So we delay and try to make
a deal with PlatacoStillman?

Makes sense. They'd rather make
a deal with us than Hugo Chavez.

Good job.

Mrs. Florrick, Andrew Wiley.

Oh, yes. My assistant was going
to give you a call.

Yeah, I decided
to save her the trouble.

- Well, I'm a little busy.
- Just quickly, ma'am.

I'm not here for Childs.

I'm following up on an interview
given to one of our ASAs

by an investigator here,
a Blake Calamar.

- Oh, yes. Blake no longer works here.
- Yeah, I know.

But you see, some of the pages
from his interview are gone,

and I'm trying to hunt down
what he said.

Don't you think
you should be talking to Blake?

- If you'll excuse me...
- Unfortunately, I can't.

I hit a dead end,
and I don't like dead ends.

I was hoping that you could help me
understand

why Blake was talking about you.

- Me?
- Yeah.

You see, I found a small portion
of the preliminary notes,

and the subject line for the interview
is listed as "Alicia Florrick."

So I was wondering if you knew
what he might be discussing.

- No, I don't.
- You're sure?

I have to go.

So we're not gonna handle this
like gentlemen?

I think this is
how gentlemen handle it.

We just filed a suit contesting the
Venezuelan nationalizing of Latin Star

until the World Bank's ICSID
assesses a value for the company.

No, no, no.
Strike three, birdie. You struck out.

I'm sorry, Mr. President.
Did you have something to add?

My Spanish may be a little rusty, but
I think President Chavez disagrees.

Tell them, DA.
You're the DA. You tell them.

No, no. I told you, now.
I'm not an actual DA.

I did impersonate one on TV.

Phone Sean Penn. Phone him.

The president would like for you
to understand that

he is now the sole owner
of Latin Star,

and has rechristened it
the Love Drilling and Oil Company.

"The Americans again want my oil.
They thirst for it. All Americans.

Except Courtney Love. Not her.

Even now, she is not appreciated
in her country.

Where is her Academy Award?
Where?"

Ahem. Thank you, Mr. President.

President Chavez has thanked you
for your service,

and he's just asking
that you step back from the case.

Yes, the only problem is,
the law of his own country

requires a three-month period

to assess the value
of our client's company.

He's changing the law.

- What?
- The Enabling Law of 2008.

The Venezuelan National Assembly
voted to give the president the power

to change law if it protected
the interests of Venezuela.

Oh, my God.
It's like being in a Woody Allen movie.

Have it ready by 1 for court.

- You too. Good job.
- Thank you.

Oh, Alicia, do you have a moment?

So who am I negotiating with here,
you or Venezuela?

We're going to court right now
to find out.

Unfortunately, you lost your window,
Mr. Gardner.

PlatacoStillman
is a very busy company,

so why don't we pencil in
a time for depositions in 2012?

You mean,
after you've bankrupted my client?

No, we're gonna continue
these depositions this afternoon.

You're not gonna be ready
this afternoon.

We're gonna be ready
this afternoon.

You know we have other ways
to attack this.

Contractual law is just so bloodless,
don't you think?

See you this afternoon.

- Take the afternoon off.
- Excuse me?

Go ahead. Take the afternoon off.
You deserve it.

I... Thank you,
but this is my case, I'm committed.

I know, and you can continue
with it tomorrow.

We'll be fine in court.

This isn't a punishment.

We have too many voices right now,
so take a break for a few hours.

- This afternoon?
- Yes.

Who talked to you?

- Who talked to me?
- Yes.

Did Eli call?

Alicia, take the afternoon off.

Come back tomorrow
for the depositions.

Alicia. How are you?
You sound a little...

This is my life, Eli.
You don't meddle with my life.

Okay, Alicia. What's wrong?

I have been working on this case
for over a year now, and you do this?

You can forget it.
I'm not doing the interview.

And I don't care if Peter blames me
for the rest of his life.

As I understand it, you're asking
for an emergency injunction.

Yes, Your Honor.

We were in the midst of a settlement
negotiation with PlatacoStillman,

and in our opinion,
Venezuela has no standing in this suit.

We would agree that the president
of Venezuela has the power

to change laws in his country,
but in our opinion,

those powers should not impact
a lawsuit in this country.

The president hasn't changed the laws
of the United States, Your Honor.

He's changed the laws of Venezuela,

and they just happen to impact
a lawsuit here.

Was that in your opinion?

- Excuse me?
- Your opinion.

You were expressing your opinion,
right?

- I don't know what you're getting at.
- Your Honor?

It is just such an honor
to have you in my court, sir.

Oh, it's my honor, Your Honor.

You don't know how many young
people you encourage with your show.

Oh, thank you, but it would probably
be a mistake to call it my show.

And so humble.
I must say, you look taller in person.

Well, now,
you're embarrassing me, ma'am.

Just one woman's opinion.

Your Honor, just quickly, this case
is not about the opposing counsel.

It's about his client,
President Hugo Chavez.

I would disagree.
It's about the rule of law in Venezuela.

You mean, the new rule of law.

This law was changed a half hour ago,
Your Honor, in my opinion,

and as such, it is a ex post facto law.

Unfortunately, Mr. Gardner,
Ms. Lockhart, I am a judge in Chicago.

I have no jurisdiction
over Venezuelan law.

I do understand your argument
for emergency relief,

so I will freeze Latin Star's assets
until...

Your Honor, it has taken us a year

to get PlatacoStillman
to the negotiations table.

Our client has had a heart attack due
to the drawn-out nature of this fight.

A freeze would not be in the interest
of Latin Star

or the Venezuelan people,
Your Honor.

Then I would suggest that you align
your interests against PlatacoStillman.

You both have reason
to want a fair settlement.

In my opinion, the best result would be
for you, Mr. Gardner, Ms. Lockhart,

to represent President Chavez
in this lawsuit too.

And thank you, sir, for doing all you've
done to inspire the youth of America.

Great.
We have a dictator for a client.

Well, here we are.

I'm glad your client finds this funny.

- What is he saying?
- He likes your dress.

- Well, how nice.
- This doesn't have to be bad.

There are certain advantages
to being on the same side.

Such as?

It appears everyone has kissed
and made up. Can we continue?

Yes. And we'd like to add a name
to the witness list. A Juan Perez.

And who might this be?

Well, he's the director
of the Venezuelan Interior.

Ah. A present from President Chavez.
How nice.

And what might Mr. Perez swear to?

He'll swear that your client,
the CEO of PlatacoStillman,

admitted cheating Latin Star
out of its fee.

Really?
My goodness, what a revelation.

Mr. Gardner,
I guess dictatorship has its privileges.

You can always make a deal.

We have four names we would like
to add to the witness list.

Remember when I told you
we had other ways of attacking this?

How could I forget?

PlatacoStillman doesn't owe Latin Star
a cent. I'm sorry, a red cent.

Because our boiler plate charges
prevent us

from compensating companies
that commit human-rights violations.

Oh, come on.

These four men will testify
to life-threatening conditions

that they personally witnessed
on the Latin Star rigs in Venezuela.

My father says his rigs
have a perfect safety record.

Not a single violation or infraction.

I need you to look into
these four witnesses.

Any direction?

We reached a stalemate
with PlatacoStillman.

They're lying
about human-rights violations.

Find out why.

Hey, why weren't you in there?
I thought you were on PlatacoStillman.

I'm on leave.

- Leave?
- Just for the afternoon.

Do you know an Andrew Wiley
at the State's Attorney's Office?

The investigator.
Yeah, he works with Cary.

He was asking about
a last interview Blake did.

A last interview
where he talked about me.

Did Cary mention this?

No. Probably the state's attorney's
last gasp.

Yes, an attempt to intimidate me.

- Alicia.
- Yeah?

I need to...

- Can we talk sometime?
- Whenever you want. I'm on leave.

Alicia, there you are.

Is everything okay?

Oh, yeah. I just...
I'm on something else this afternoon.

- How's your dad?
- Good.

I had to tell him about
Hugo Chavez's involvement.

- He was confused.
- Yeah, I am too.

- Would you excuse me a moment?
- Sure.

Thank you, Diane.

Ah, Mrs. Florrick.
I don't think we've met.

- Frank Landau.
- Hello.

We're all rooting for your husband,
ma'am.

Take care. Nice to meet you.

Diane. Sorry, just quickly...

Yes, I thought
you were taking the afternoon off.

I am, I just... Was that the Chairman
of the Democratic Committee?

Yes. Frank. An old friend.

He was worried we were representing
Hugo Chavez these days.

He was the one who asked you
to give me the afternoon off?

I wish you wouldn't worry about it,
Alicia. It's not a punishment.

I know, but Frank Landau asked you,
didn't he?

Thank you.

This is Mr. Carlos Santos,

a worker on the Latin Star oil rig
and recent ?migr? to America.

Mr. Santos, nice to meet you.

It's a worker, Mr. President.
A man named Carlos Santos.

So you say you witnessed
human-rights abuses

on the oil rigs in Venezuela,
Mr. Santos?

Mr. Santos?

"I've been awarded the Al-Gaddafi
International Prize for Human Rights

by Colonel Gaddafi.

I would never stand for human-rights
violations in my country. Never.

So tell this Santos he is lying."

Do you refute that, Mr. Santos?

Do you have family still in Venezuela,
Mr. Santos?

"A wife and two kids."

So you would like to change
your testimony too, Mr. Pulito?

I guess you have family
in Venezuela too?

No, no, wait, Kalinda.

You don't need to look into three
of the workers, they recanted.

Just one of them's testifying.
He doesn't have family in Venezuela.

Which one?

Okay, got it.

Hey. I need help
with just one of the names.

Esteban Gonzales.

Walk with me. Share your troubles.

Cary, what's going on
with your investigator, Wiley?

My investigator? I don't know. Why?

He approached Alicia.

He doesn't know.

I know, but he approached Alicia.

I can't stop him.

The more I try to stop him,
the harder he digs.

I have to talk to her.

Yeah, that's a hard one.

By the way,
I slept with your husband.

Oh, sorry, is that too blunt?

It was before we met.

Okay, well,
then maybe she'll understand.

You know what? It's my turn.

Before you talk to Alicia
about your issue,

ask her to smooth things over for me
with Peter.

Well, you're always asking me
for favors. This is mine.

If Peter's elected,
I don't wanna be summarily fired

because there's bad blood
between us.

So you're gonna stay
at the State's Attorney's Office?

I like it there.

Don't tell her you slept with Peter
before you put in a good word for me.

I gotta go.

Mrs. Florrick, hello.

Peter isn't here.

I'm sorry. I thought it was you.

What was me?

I was excused from work
for the afternoon by Diane,

and I thought you were the one
who arranged it.

- No, never.
- I know. It was Frank Landau.

Sorry. He's a little worried.

I know.

- I'll do it.
- It?

The interview. If it's not too late.

- Sorry.
- It's my decision.

Then thank you.

The witness, Esteban Gonzales,
was indeed injured in a oil-rig accident.

There are hospital records
in both Chicago and Venezuela.

- It's untrue. My dad said...
- It's not from your dad's oil rig.

Now, the hospital records show

that he had salt water in his lungs
when he was admitted.

Which is odd because
all Latin Star rigs are land-based.

- It was offshore drilling.
- Yep.

- And you know who has offshore rigs.
- PlatacoStillman.

Looks like we have something
to discuss with our adversaries.

It's a performance, a show,
and you're the wife.

I know, I know.
But people don't listen, they watch.

And they wanna see you at ease,
calm, loving.

So...

Do you forgive Peter?

I think Peter's my husband,
he's the father of my children,

and I watch him every day trying to
make amends for his past mistakes.

- So that's a no?
- No, that's a yes.

- Good.
- Thank you.

Is it true?

Did it sound true?

Do you know Peter slept
with Amber Madison

on 18 separate occasions?

She's gunning for you on that.

- I do know that.
- Does it bother you?

- Does it bother me? It horrifies me.
- Okay, okay, a little less.

But Peter and I discussed it.
It was a difficult time in our marriage.

Peter was at work so much
and I was at home.

A marriage needs constant attention

- and we allowed our attention to flag.
- Good.

So why will it be different this time
if Peter's elected?

Because Peter has seen
the inside of a prison cell.

He's found an enduring faith.

And he's seen the hurt
he's done to our children.

Good. Tell me about your children.
How have they handled it?

They're...

They're the best people I know.

I love them more...

I would do anything
to see them not hurt.

They love their father,

and they have stood by him
throughout.

Good.

Emotional, but not too.

So tell me about your work.

Do you worry your work
takes you away from your children?

I do. But I needed to work
to support my family.

Will you stop working
when he's elected?

No.

I care about my work,
I care about my clients,

and I think that my children support
what I do.

- You think?
- Yes.

You have to be more definitive.

Any anecdotes with the kids
that you can relate?

No, that is definitive enough.

Okay. Good.

Let her come off as the bully.

The viewers want her
to ask the tough questions,

then they feel guilty
and start blaming her,

so just stay cool.

- And real.
- We're ready for you.

We'll be right there.

Thank you, Alicia.

I just wish
this were all so much easier.

Well, if it were easier,
everybody would be doing it.

- Alicia Florrick.
- Mrs. Florrick, Andrew Wiley.

About my investigation,
do you have a moment?

No, Mr. Wiley, I do not.

And if you contact me one more time
without some real evidence,

I will sue your office for harassment,
do you understand me?

This means nothing.

It means everything.

It means Luis Rios never had
a human-rights problem on his rigs,

but you did, Mr. Francis.

I think that's a stretch.

Let's see how stretchy it is to the press
and your shareholders.

First I beat George W.
Bush, now I beat you, Mr. Danger.

Ahem. Fifty million, with a gag order.
But we have to close right now.

No.

- I think we need a minute.
- No, we don't.

You'll have to do better.

This is not the time
to play good cop, bad cop.

I'm not.
Fifty million is not acceptable.

Oh, come on, president.
This is ridiculous.

He's saying, "I know what you want,

- and you're never gonna get it."
- Wait, who?

The CEO is telling Chavez
that he's never gonna get it.

And the president is saying,
"It was mine anyway. You stole it."

What? What did they steal?

A geophysical surveying map
of the untapped oil reserves

in the Orinoco belt.

President Chavez wants this map
to know where to drill for oil.

And PlatacoStillman
commissioned the survey

and considers it
proprietary work product.

What does this
have to do with your lawsuit?

Nothing, Your Honor,
in our opinion.

That's why we ask you
to sever the two cases.

President Chavez
has a conflict of interest here.

What he's asking for won't benefit
my client in the least.

There is no conflict of interest,
Your Honor.

The president is trying to negotiate
a greater settlement, that's all.

We all benefit
from a greater settlement.

Don't we, Your Honor? Heh.

- Your Honor?
- Was that in your opinion?

Well, yes, in my opinion.

So we're back to square one?

Okay, here's the deal.

You want the surveys,
we want the money.

We'll drop out of the case,

and you settle with PlatacoStillman
for the survey maps.

Okay. And what do you get?

Transfer of $86 million
to this Latin Star account

by end of business day today.

You were willing to take $50 million
from PlatacoStillman.

Just consider that
the standard surcharge for dictators.

Let me take it to the president.

You know, he's really a nice person,
once you get to know him.

Sings like an angel.

Good job, Natalie.

You can manage
my money anytime.

And thank you.
For everything, really.

This has been cool.

Dad, really, you can stop worrying.

I'm not just saying that.

I'm not saying that
to make you feel better.

I think he's a good man.

I think he would be the first to admit
he has flaws,

but I wouldn't be here
if I thought otherwise.

So you think
there's no connection then

between a person's public persona
and their private one?

No, I definitely think there is.

I just think
it's easy for people to judge,

and I think it's harder for them
to forgive.

- So you have forgiven him?
- I have.

What is in the past is in the past.

And your children,
have they forgiven him?

My children love their father.

They would do anything for him.

And I think the hardest thing
for Peter

has been seeing
how much he's hurt them.

Believe me, he will do anything
not to hurt them again.

What about you, Alicia, do you
have any designs on a political career?

Is it really such a strange question?

You're smart, you're eloquent,
well-known, well-liked,

my guess is,
better liked than your husband.

I doubt that. I'm not built for it.
I don't like getting up in front of people.

- You could've fooled me.
- Well, thank you.

But I'm enjoying my job too much,
and being a mother.

That's what I'm good at.

And don't you think we
need more women in politics?

Wouldn't women make
a bigger difference in politics?

- I think men and women make
- What do you think?

the same difference in politics.

People do good and bad things
based on who they are.

I think she's fantastic.

I think she just won him the election.

Probably.

You should tell her
how fantastic she is.

She knows.

You should tell her.
People like to be told.

You're in a weird mood.

I am.

After an
election year filled with scandals,

the race for Cook County State's
Attorney is one we plan to follow,

as precincts continue
to report results.

While Peter Florrick has kept a slight
but consistent lead...

Hey, it's the candidate's wife,
everybody.

- Mom, they love you.
- It's election night. Wait till tomorrow.

- Nice one.
- Thank you.

Alicia Florrick had been out of the
public eye for much of this campaign.

Some local pundits believed this
hurt Peter, not to have his wife...

I'm sorry to interrupt, Kate, but we
have one more township reporting in.

Orland Township goes
to Peter Florrick.

You need to get him to start thinking
about the next.

Let him win this one first.

Come on, Eli.
You rest tonight, we start tomorrow.

- On?
- The U.S. Senate.

Don't act surprised.
It was the goal all along.

And the Democratic Committee
will stand behind him?

That's a good boy you got there, Eli.
People like him.

They like his story.
They especially like his wife.

The comeback is one thing, but one
year after being convicted, to get this...

And that's a testament to you,
by the way.

So you'll support him officially?

Let him get his feet wet first.

You start lining up donors,
and sure, we'll be there.

Alicia.

There you are. What an interview.

I've never seen Erica eat out
of someone's hand like that before.

Mr. Landau. Where's Peter?

Oh, like the bride before the wedding,
indisposed.

- Good job, Alicia.
- Thank you.

Flowers are in the meadow

'Tis you, 'tis you

- Grandma's drunk.
- I think that's just her.

And I must bide

Alicia, isn't it wonderful?

You kids, you're so special.

Grace, look at you. Growing up.

You made me proud.

Your interview made me cry.

Now, I want you to have fun tonight.
I'll take care of the kids.

We've got rooms down the hall.

- closely throughout the evening,

as precincts continue
to report results.

While Peter Florrick has kept
a slight but consistent lead

As we continue
to await results, we look back...

- You came.
- Just for a minute.

- Would you like a drink?
- Andre told me he talked to you.

I'm sorry.

He can be pretty insensitive.

Come on in.

The opposing lawyer
in the case yesterday, Mr. Thomas,

he hired me
to be a full-time translator.

- That's great.
- Yeah.

It means being in D.C.

- Oh, wow. That really is great.
- Yeah.

Now when you're in trouble,
you can come to me for help.

- If this were another time...
- Yeah.

- the State's Attorney's Office

is a stepping stone
for his higher office...

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

I wanna confirm this
before we can report it.

Okay. WBBM can now project

that Peter Florrick is
the next State's Attorney.

I couldn't get ahold of you.
I've been trying your cell.

Yes. I've been ignoring your calls.

It's not bad news.

I'm a bit busy here, Mr. Wiley.

Yeah, it looks like.

I was feeling bad. I found out
Blake's interviews were bogus,

just something he made up.

- And you came here to tell me that?
- Yeah. Why not?

Okay. Thanks.

It was a rumor your husband slept
with one of his co-workers

two years ago.

The rumor didn't pan out.

- Why are you telling me this?
- I wanted you to know.

I mean,
it's always best to know the truth,

no matter how much it hurts or helps.
Do you believe that?

Yes.

I checked out the woman's name, the
co-worker he supposedly slept with.

There was no one in the department
with that name.

Leela.

But she doesn't exist.
Unless you've heard of her.

Have you heard of her? Leela?

You all right?

Let me introduce you to Cook County's
new State's Attorney, Peter Florrick.

Peter!

For he's a jolly good fellow

For he's a jolly good fellow

Which nobody can deny

Which nobody can deny
Which nobody can deny

For he's a jolly good fellow

For he's a jolly good fellow

For he's a jolly good fellow

Which nobody can deny
