The Good Wife (2009–2016): Season 2, Episode 22 - Getting Off - full transcript
Alicia is assigned to defend a woman who is being sued by a widow whose husband was murdered by someone he met on the defendant's website. Once again, Alicia and Will are up against the ...
Okay.
This will mostly be about sex.
And I need to know
if that will make anybody
uncomfortable.
And it's okay if it does.
Believe me,
this stuff makes me feel wiggly.
That's what my mom used to call it,
wiggly toes.
This is a simple matter
of contract law.
I'm sorry to refute the sexual tease
of my opposing counsel,
but really, what I need to know
is can you judge my client,
an independent business owner,
fairly?
Sex outside of marriage,
sex with more than one person,
sexual bondage.
I'm sorry, I just... I keep imagining
my parents listening to this.
Sure, I could be fair.
We business people all struggle
with the same things more or less,
it doesn't matter if it's sex
- or office supplies.
- Accepted.
If her business were dedicated
to illegal or illicit activity,
would that change your mind?
- Like what, prostitution?
- No.
Her website, SideEncounters. com,
is dedicated to connecting spouses
who want to cheat.
Well, I know my wife won't approve,
but everybody has to make a living.
I'm sorry, Your Honor,
I'd like to challenge this juror for cause.
- Your Honor, she's already used up...
- He's biased.
No, no, no. I am not gonna let this trial
get out of hand.
I'll allow Mrs. Crozier's challenge
for cause.
- It's Miss Crozier.
- Oh, I'm sorry. Miss.
It's all right.
I am looking, if that's any consolation.
Anyway,
I would agree with Mr. Gardner.
You're both arguing a case
through voir dire,
which I strenuously disapprove of.
And, Your Honor, I'd like to use
sexual images from the website in trial.
Come on, Your Honor,
she's turning this
into a lawsuit about sex.
Maybe it's just me,
but this is a lawsuit about sex.
No. The husband of your client
used my client's website to arrange
a date and wound up dead, that's all.
- It could've been about antiquing.
- But it wasn't. It was about infidelity.
Then we'd like to introduce the police
murder investigation into evidence.
That investigation was inconclusive.
How do we have access to this?
Thirty-year-old Sean Briglio.
Found in Room 606
of the Saint Martin Hotel.
Handcuffed, ball gag in his mouth,
and his penis severed from his body.
It's making me wince
even just talking about it.
The severed member was found
in the ice bucket.
- You're kidding.
- No.
On ice with the champagne.
There's probably a joke to be made
about shrinkage. I won't go there.
I think you just did.
The date he arranged on your client's
lovely website was with a Cynthia R.
- Okay.
- That's a made-up name.
And her handle was Prettispecial9.
We traced that IP address
to a Copycrater in Winnetka.
The trail ran cold there.
We checked his other earlier dates.
All had alibis.
- It's still an open investigation.
- Like Jimmy Hoffa, huh?
I would imagine if Jimmy Hoffa's penis
was found in a hotel ice bucket,
Chicago's finest would be looking
just as hard for his killer.
But we are trying to connect
this homicide
to another female suspect in Texas,
also a castrator.
Thanks, Cary. Always a pleasure.
Hey.
- I'm staying put.
- You're staying put?
- Where?
- Here.
- Oh. Peter Florrick wants you?
- Yeah. Isn't that odd?
I would've thought
my competition with his wife
would've made me
persona non grata.
- I would've thought so too.
- He doesn't seem to care
that Alicia and I
aren't on the best of terms.
Read into that what you will.
Okay.
This is a monastery, Alicia.
I am a priest.
Whatever you tell me
does not leave here.
It's not altruism, it's pragmatism.
I only have a practice if I'm discreet.
I'm separating from my husband.
These notes are for me.
I keep them under lock and key.
So you're looking
for a divorce lawyer?
No. Uh, we're separating.
But you will divorce?
I don't know yet.
I haven't decided yet.
- You worried about it going public?
- Yes.
- I wanna know how to protect myself.
- Financially?
Yes.
Is there anything I should be doing?
Your husband's income
over the past two years?
Negligible. I've been the supporter.
He's one month away
from becoming State's Attorney.
That's 220,000 a year.
You'd actually be better off
if you waited till next year to divorce.
David, let's forget this.
Yeah, what?
Okay.
Uh, you're needed upstairs.
Alicia,
I don't know your personal situation.
Frankly, I don't wanna know.
My tolerance for mess is minimal.
You are like me.
You like plans, you like lists.
So make a list of your income,
your expenses and his,
and all relevant tax returns.
Bring it to me, and I'll make you a list
of everything you need to do
to protect yourself, okay?
Within the firm, we can call it
"the Cole divorce."
Something I asked you to work on
with me.
Okay.
Thanks.
Oh, no. No thanks.
You're paying me now.
That was one billable hour.
I round up.
Well, the bottom line is it's a cold case.
A year-old unsolved homicide.
Now, the police suspect
that the victim was picked up
but there's no proof.
So our best defense
is to play into that ambiguity.
How can our client's website
be responsible
if the police
haven't absolutely concluded
- it's from her site?
- Oh, Alicia, good.
We're going to trial
on SideEncounters,
and we need you to take on
a more prominent role.
We didn't get the jury we wanted.
Our client's product
isn't the most sympathetic.
The opposing attorney is
playing up the sex and infidelity angle,
so we need you to take first chair.
Because my husband cheated
on me?
Well, yes. It might work on the jurors
who recognize you.
- You all right with that?
- Sure.
They're gonna wanna use you
as a punching bag,
so we need to limit
your time in court.
Also, we need some more sessions
of witness prep.
You're their biggest witness.
They're gonna put you on the stand.
Because I'm unsympathetic?
Yes.
And you're supposed to rub off on me?
The jury sees you being friendly to me,
and they think I must be tolerable?
Well, I hope a little more
than tolerable, but yes.
Funny,
I think of myself as very sympathetic.
Well, you're not on the jury.
Also, we need to talk
about your posture towards the widow,
the woman who's suing you.
Do you feel bad for her?
I do. I feel bad that her husband's
dead. I don't think she's suing me
because he's dead. She's suing me
because he used my website to cheat,
- and for that, she blames me.
- You don't think she should?
- You blame the beer for the DUI?
- No, but I might blame the bartender.
- I thought you were on my side.
- I am on your side.
The best way to be on your side
is to see how the other side thinks.
- That's what lawyers do.
- That's how I do it.
You know there's a porn movie
about you?
- No, I didn't know that.
- There's a porn movie about you.
And all the wives
standing by their husbands.
It's a trilogy, actually.
It's like Lord of the Rings.
There seems to be a whole subdivision
of erotica devoted to devoted wives.
- Good to know.
- I hope you're not offended.
Men masturbate to the thought of you.
Almost an honor when you think of it.
No. Even when I think of it,
it's not an honor.
- Good work.
- Wait, Alicia,
I don't wanna lose my husband
and my kids' money.
- How many kids do you have?
- Three.
Good. I can build on that.
Really? One of them has a bucktooth.
It's adorable.
I'll see you in court.
No, no, no. I'll get back to you.
That was Cary. His cold case,
- we're gonna stay in touch.
- Great.
- So, what's up?
- No, Kalinda, no.
What?
We both work here.
We're both going to continue
to work here.
So let's not talk.
- Alicia...
- No, you don't explain anything.
You do not put a single thing
in context.
You slept with my husband.
You do not say anything after that.
You do not.
It is selfish
to say anything after that.
I work here and you work here,
but that's it.
When you can find another case,
do it.
When you can walk the other way, do.
Now get out of my office.
There are so many people
who can see us right now,
but I swear I will scream
at the top of my lungs
if you don't get out of my office now.
Hello, Grace.
I thought I'd drop by
and bring your favorite.
I know your mom hasn't wanted me
to help out around here anymore,
but I don't think she'll begrudge
my lemon muffins.
- Hey, Grandma.
- Zach.
How have you two been doing?
- Good.
- Yeah, we're good.
I'll tell your dad. He's just so torn up.
Yeah.
Mom said he's in an apartment?
Yes, she moved him there.
I think it's comfortable.
It's just...
It's awful, though, how quick it was.
- I didn't see it coming.
- Yeah. We're good, though.
I guess I'm still trying to absorb it.
You don't know
what your mom's thinking, do you?
She said that they'd give it a try.
It was just too much for them.
Well, I don't know why they can't try
and still stay in the same place.
- It just seems odd.
- It's just between Mom and Dad.
- Yes, but it's about you two too.
- I don't think we should talk about it.
Alicia.
Nancy.
Oh, I'm so thrilled
you'll be digging into this.
We left things so unresolved
last time.
I know. And I felt bad
about how that came down.
Came...? What do you mean?
How I beat you last time.
Oh, you're so funny.
Sean and I had this tradition
on our anniversary.
We'd break open some champagne
and just watch our wedding video.
- I know. Old-fashioned.
- No, it sounds beautiful.
I hate to have to get to this,
but when did you first learn
that your husband was having affairs
on SideEncounters. com?
When the police came to my house
to tell me Sean had been murdered.
If it's not too hard for you,
what did they tell you?
They showed me his profile
on her website.
And this is your husband?
- Yes.
- Your Honor, at this point
I'd like to show more photos
of Mr. Briglio,
but we need to warn the court...
Yes, yes, thank you.
The images you're about to see
are of a strong sexual nature.
If anyone wants to leave,
please feel free to do so.
Okay.
These are from your husband's
private gallery on the website.
- And this is him with another woman.
- Yes.
And this is him with two women.
Did you know
who these women were?
No. They're people he met
through this website.
And had your husband
ever cheated on you
- before learning about this website?
- Objection, Your Honor. Hearsay.
Oh, uh, yes. Um, sustained.
Sorry that's so objectionable.
But you were happy, Dana?
- I think it's all right if I ask that much.
- I was.
I'm not saying our marriage
was perfect,
but we always told the truth
to each other.
Until he found this site.
Those pictures are very upsetting.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Mrs. Briglio, who's Gina Wiggens?
My husband didn't sleep with her.
I'm just wondering who she is.
A co-worker at his school.
She was always clinging on him.
Didn't Ms. Wiggens bring a restraining
order against your husband?
Sean was the victim there.
She pursued him.
- That's what your husband told you?
- Yes. And it's true.
Because your husband
always told you the truth
- until he found Stephanie's website?
- Yes.
A copy of the restraining
order against your husband.
- Have you read it?
- No.
- Would you like to?
- No.
- Because you trust your husband?
- Yes.
I took an oath and I kept it.
To trust him.
Your husband first logged on
to SideEncounters in April of 2009.
Can you read when Miss Wiggens
brought the restraining order
- against your husband?
- That doesn't mean anything.
She's lying.
French, circa 1660.
And I start the bidding out
at 250,000.
Kalinda Sharma.
Sophia.
I almost didn't recognize you
undercover.
So I should've known.
You're a big fan of Pre-Raphaelite.
Yeah. I was, uh, just looking
for some home furnishings.
- Mm-hm.
- What are you working?
l-banker. The first row, last one.
It's the guy with the girl.
Company thinks
he's bidding on blank checks.
Really? Sounds fun.
- Don't patronize me.
- No, seriously. Sounds fun.
Wait a minute. I asked you...
I asked you to come join me.
I begged you to come join me,
and you said
corporate investigation wasn't for you.
I changed my mind.
And you said
you'd never change your mind.
I was wrong.
Take my position.
- What's going on?
- Well, I wanna try something new.
Yeah? Okay, so why not go
to the State's Attorney's office?
- We both have friends still there.
- This sounded better.
So I was your second call.
- Offended?
- No. Confused.
We won't let you wear
what you're wearing.
- It's a very corporate world.
- Well, I can adapt.
I've just started
a new white-collar division.
- I'm in.
- Wanna think about it first?
I just did.
- That's not what I said.
- Yes, it is.
In your promotional material,
you're quoted as saying
that your website allows couples
to have affairs without cheating.
Yes, but I meant it about biology.
Monogamy is unnatural.
It forces the body to do something
it's not meant to do.
- Be committed?
- No, be monogamous.
- Have you used your website?
- Have I? Yes.
- You've cheated?
- It's not cheating.
We know exactly where we are,
we know exactly who we're dating.
- Your husband approves?
- Not only does he,
I approve
when he wants to date.
So if having an affair keeps a marriage
from being based on a lie,
why do you have a panic button
on your website?
- What?
- Why does your website have a button
that allows the reader to hide the page
to keep anyone looking?
Because you don't have to share
my philosophy to use my website.
Ooh.
You give good prep.
- I wanna light a cigarette.
- Not in here.
I was joking.
Don't delve too deeply
into the philosophy of your website.
You have to offer context, but briefly.
It makes you sound like a crank.
Okay.
What?
I don't get it.
You don't get?
How I can sleep with other people
besides my husband?
Yes. I mean, why even get married?
- I love him.
- Yes.
But what does that have to do
in this context?
It means I wanna spend
more time with him
than any other man or woman.
I don't understand the reverse.
How do you have sex
with just one man?
Why would you wanna do anything...
Play cards, go sailing, go fishing,
whatever.
- with just one person?
Because it would hurt them not to.
Yes.
Yes. But that's not about love.
That's about fear.
That's about jealousy.
If you love someone,
don't you set them free?
No.
You like to tie them down?
Yes, basically.
Aren't there men you look at,
and you just watch them?
In a Starbucks line, opening a door,
tying their shoes.
And you just wanna grab their hand
and slide it up the small of your back?
Or feel the touch
of someone else's lips on your skin?
The taste of someone else's tongue?
The pleasure of
someone else's orgasm?
Don't you want that?
I have to go.
Good work.
- You look tired.
- Thanks.
- Cary, you called?
- Did I?
Yeah. An hour ago, you said
it was to do with Sean Briglio's murder.
Oh, yeah, yeah, no, I just... I wanted
to see if you had anything for me.
Cary.
Just a minute. I'll be right back.
Sure.
Please leave a message.
Alicia, you need to answer this.
Nancy Crozier was meeting with Cary.
I'm a bit old-fashioned
about these things,
so walk me through this.
Oh, I don't think
you're that old-fashioned.
Really? Thank you.
Just walk me through this.
What is a triad?
It's an open marriage
among three partners.
Wow. I'm just a Michigan girl.
Fresh off the boat.
- Miss Engler, let's turn to the victim...
- Mrs. Engler. Married six years, so...
Hey, baby.
Sorry, Mrs. Engler.
How did you know the victim,
Sean Briglio?
How? He used my site.
- You never met him in person?
- No.
And this credit-card charge
to the Saint Martin,
February 16th, 2010.
Who were you meeting then?
- Uh, who was I meeting?
- Yeah.
Um, you made a credit-card charge
to the Saint Martin
on the same day that Mr. Briglio
was meeting one of his dates.
Objection. Your Honor, what does
this have to do with the plaintiff's suit?
Yes. Ms. Crozier,
we seem to have run astray here.
Well, Your Honor,
if Mrs. Engler met
and slept with the victim,
then this suit
has even stronger merit.
Your Honor,
we request a short recess.
But, Your Honor,
I was just getting to the best part.
Let's take a short recess. I think
we can straighten this out. Don't you?
They just found their murder suspect.
Our client.
Then charge her. If you have
something on her, then charge her.
Sorry I don't have enough chairs.
My office is so small.
Come on, what's your game?
I don't have a game.
It's prosecuting the bad guys.
You're feeding information to Crozier
in a civil case against our client.
I understand your client lied
about not sleeping with him.
- Sleeping with him isn't illegal.
- Right.
- Killing him would be.
- Come on.
- You think she killed him?
- I think I'm investigating.
You're using our civil case
to further that investigation?
Well, let's just say that I'm watching
with rapt interest.
Next time, call ahead, guys,
I'll have cookies.
You slept with him, Stephanie?
He was into S & M.
It was too hard-core.
- I told him not to contact me again.
- What have you got, Kalinda?
Well, as far as I can tell,
the murder case now has heat.
They were trying
to connect Briglio's killer
to a serial castrator in Texas.
That's how they overlooked our client.
Okay. Our advice has changed,
Stephanie.
It's better to starve Cary's investigation
of your testimony.
So with your approval,
Alicia will make a deal on the civil,
and we'll turn to defending
on the criminal.
What's going on
with your buddy, Cary?
He seems intent on screwing us.
I'm turning in my notice.
Ha, ha. Yeah, okay.
What's the bump now, 5 percent?
No, Will, I'm turning in my notice.
This is my two weeks.
- I'm not getting into a bidding war.
- I'm not asking you to.
We're gonna make you
head of a department, K.
We're gonna put you
in charge of other investigators.
Look, Will, when you hired me,
I told you when I'm done, I'm done.
I'm done.
- I need to try something else.
- Where are you going?
I'll help you find my replacement.
Um, not really.
Don't you wanna take that offer
back to your client?
No, my client already gave me
- the acceptable amount.
- Which is?
Darn it, you almost made me slip.
You have a loser case, Nancy.
We're offering you the insurance limit.
We don't want the insurance limit.
Where do you get your hair done?
- It's so shiny.
- She's not getting 11 million.
I don't know. This guy at the State's
Attorney's office, he's been helpful.
He's been giving me a few names that
maybe I should add to the witness list.
What?
Grace?
- What's wrong?
- Nothing.
- l... Are you sure? Is Zach okay?
- Yeah. It's not anything.
Mom, I wanna talk.
Grace, we discussed this.
I know. It's... I don't get...
We're separating.
We need to take a breath.
I know other kids at school
who were told that, and it's never true.
It's just something parents tell them
to make them feel better.
I love you, Grace.
Maybe you're right. I don't know.
I'm hurting.
Can't Dad help you with that?
- No.
- But Dad's hurting too.
He doesn't understand.
- Dad came by?
- No.
He called?
Grandma told us.
She came over.
I shouldn't have said.
She told me not to say.
Your grandmother...
Grace, listen to me.
Your grandmother has issues.
She's Ionely.
She'll be wanting to come over.
I need you to call me
when she does.
Promise me you'll call me.
I'll call you back.
Okay, so let me start.
Stop contributing to your
retirement fund until this settles.
You have a salary bump coming
in two months.
Ask to delay it till next year.
Make copies of your stock options.
Keep them here at the office.
They go missing
if we start proceedings.
Talk to me about custody.
- Is it that serious?
- I wanna know my options
if I do something
to make it that serious.
Okay.
Uh, your children are both teenagers
and have a good deal of say
in which parent to live with.
More than you might think.
Do not become the difficult parent.
And document how much time
you spend with the kids,
how little time he does.
When I say "document,"
I mean a journal.
What effect does a grandparent's
involvement have?
Determining parental involvement?
None.
It's all down to the parents.
Alicia, delay this fight.
- It's not a fight.
- Then delay this.
He means more to you
in the State's Attorney's office than out.
On all levels.
I'm speaking purely pragmatically
and, oddly, selflessly.
Thank you.
I'm needed in court.
You were working as a valet
the night of the murder?
Yes. It was awful. People screaming.
And you saw this car?
Stephanie's car,
the night of the murder?
Yes, that car.
I saw it peeling out of the parking lot.
My goodness.
Why didn't you tell the police before?
Well, it's only recently
they brought me this picture.
Hmm.
Thank goodness it jogged
your memory.
Why are you here and not helping
the police arrest my client?
I have no idea.
Let's see, I've worked
at the Copycrater for two years now.
- I'm good with people.
- And you knew her as a customer?
Uh, yeah.
She uses the computers sometimes.
And these are the computers
that the killer, Prettispecial9,
used to write her e-mails?
This is where the police
traced the, um...
- What is it called?
- IP address?
- Yes.
- Oh, yeah.
It's our little brush with fame.
But you didn't see Stephanie
at Copycrater on the actual day?
The day the e-mail was sent? No.
All I can tell you
is that she's a customer. That's all.
The carpet fibers found
at the crime scene,
they're from
a Socala Tweed Stitch carpet.
- And the defendant owns this carpet?
- Yes.
And yet I'm still baffled
why you're here, detective,
and not at some murder trial.
Can you answer that?
I can't. All I can say
is that the plaintiff subpoenaed me.
We need another suspect.
See what you can do.
Even the whiff of another suspect
will help.
Got it.
God, this pisses me off.
- Do you think she did it?
- Stephanie? I don't know.
It doesn't matter if she did.
This lawsuit's still bogus.
A photo I took earlier
in front of the courthouse.
A gray metallic Audi.
Now, here's Stephanie's car.
The photo used in court.
It's what the valet testified looked
like the car he saw racing off
on the night of the murder. Now, they
don't look much the same, do they?
Until you put it at the scene
and put it
under the same fluorescent lighting.
Who does this car belong to?
The widow.
Dana Briglio.
You can point to her as the killer.
You can't be leaving me, Kalinda.
You're too good at this.
It's time to move on.
- What are you, a Dylan song?
- Heh.
You said you had my back.
What do you want from life, Will?
What do I want?
I don't know.
Suddenly this is about me?
Do you want the same things
as Alicia?
Alicia?
I don't know.
There's a vast difference
between us.
- Because she's married?
- Yeah, for one.
And she has kids, and I'm...
What are we talking about here?
She separated from her husband.
What?
Alicia.
She separated from Peter.
It's not...
There are too many issues.
I know. There always are.
Why?
Why did they separate?
It's not public knowledge,
so don't tell her I told you.
I'm not gonna tell her anything.
You know best.
Full confession.
At one point early in the race,
I actually thought Peter might lose.
Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt.
Alicia, hello. What a surprise.
- Do you have a moment?
- I do.
I know you've heard me talk about her
quite a bit, but allow me to introduce...
Alicia, this really is a surprise.
From now on, Jackie,
when you wanna come to my home,
you will call me.
If you can't get me,
call my assistant.
If you can't get her, try again.
Why are you so upset, Alicia?
Jackie, do you hear my voice?
Do I sound upset?
No, but these words are so hostile.
The next time you try
to turn my children against me,
I will keep them permanently
off-limits to you.
I didn't try anything. I...
I tried to explain
because no one else is explaining.
Jackie, I have come to understand
that you need to hear things
two times to absorb them,
so the next time you try
to turn my children against me...
This is so disrespectful.
I watched over them.
Yes, and thank you.
That's why I'm not cutting them off
immediately.
They're Peter's children too.
Yes.
But they're not yours.
He'll get custody.
- That's unlikely.
- He's the State's Attorney.
Who banged a hooker 18 times.
- Let's see where that ends up.
- Oh, you're awful.
You don't know the half of it.
The next time you wanna see
your grandchildren, you call first.
I know what happened
in your house.
I was your housekeeper, you know.
I have no idea what that means,
Jackie.
Yup. Like I said,
that's the car I saw skidding off.
- You saw this at Saint Martin?
- Yes.
But this is Dana Briglio's car.
- Excuse me. Objection, Your Honor.
- Okay. On what grounds?
Relevance.
What are they suggesting?
That Mrs. Briglio killed
her own husband?
Yes, that's exactly what we're
suggesting. Thank you, Ms. Crozier.
That's ridiculous.
No more than suggesting
our client did it.
I think I have to overrule that,
Ms. Crozier.
You introduced the car evidence.
Uh, they should be allowed
the opportunity to refute it.
Thank you, Your Honor.
But isn't the Socala Tweed Stitch
carpet fiber
one of the most common types
in North America?
- That's true.
- And have you tested all of the carpets
belonging to Mrs. Briglio?
- All of them? No.
- Do you think you should?
No, I don't recognize her.
You're sure?
She lives just as close to your shop
as my client, Stephanie Engler.
Well, I don't see everybody
who comes in.
Good job.
Really good job.
I loved seeing Nancy Crozier's face.
Yeah. Thanks.
How are you?
Is everything good?
Everything's good.
You?
Yeah, I guess, you know.
If you ever wanna talk...
Sure.
Good.
I'm here.
Oh, Kalinda, good.
I want you to prep Alicia
for the questioning of Dana tomorrow.
Thanks.
Okay. Um, I'm still tracing down
Prettispecial9's avatar.
It seems to be part
of the bigger picture.
Possibly two overlapping drawings.
Um, still haven't found a match.
Do you want me to get somebody else
to brief you?
You mean someone
who hasn't slept with my husband?
Yes, you're in pain, Alicia. I hurt you.
- Now, do you wanna know the facts?
- Of what?
I slept with him once.
Now, I do that.
It means nothing to me, but I do that.
Look, Alicia, I didn't know you.
I had never even seen a picture of you.
To me, you were just a housewife.
Then I met you and I liked you.
I liked working with you,
I liked talking with you.
I felt bad.
I don't like feeling bad.
Every step of the way,
you just looked at me.
And you knew?
- Yes.
- And I'm an idiot. I never once thought
that you were my friend
out of some guilt.
Out of some guilty welfare
for poor little me.
That's not why.
I don't have friends, Alicia.
You were a friend.
And you lied to me.
You said, "That's not true,"
about being with him.
Yes.
- I'm sorry.
- Oh, okay, thanks.
- Oh, now that we've cleared that up...
- I'm not explaining to...
How was my husband?
Was he good?
I'm... I found another job,
and I'm leaving next week.
Good.
Get out.
What?
Well...
We're still confirming,
but we think
your husband is Prettispecial9.
We think he was the one
who wrote to Sean Briglio
and arranged that last date.
We think you should be forewarned.
But l...
- What?
- Our investigator thinks
that it probably was your car
skidding away from the Saint Martin
on the night of the murder,
but your husband was driving it.
And the carpet fibers
we think are yours from your house,
but your husband
tracked them there.
And our investigator showed
your husband's photo
to the Copycrater employee,
and he identified him
as being a customer.
You're our client, Stephanie.
Alec isn't.
And that's why we wanted to tell you.
But why?
- Why did he do it?
- Yes.
He was jealous.
Yes. The violence of the crime scene,
the castration,
suggests some passionate emotion.
- He was jealous?
- Yes.
Did you talk to him
about sleeping with the victim?
Yeah. But I...
I didn't think he cared.
So, Mrs. Engler, as your lawyers,
we advise you to create distance
between you and your husband.
It's legally smart,
but also, it might be safer.
Either way, we're in a sticky situation
with the lawsuit.
The plaintiff
can now show culpability.
Stephanie.
Okay.
That didn't go the way I thought.
- She's in love.
- All right, negotiate with Crozier.
Let's try to keep her liability
to a minimum.
She's gonna need it
for a good defense lawyer.
You clearly got
Will Gardner's attention.
He asked me
how much I offered you,
I figure this is when you tell me
you're staying put.
That was your plan, right?
To get his bid up.
You think I've been using you?
I think it wouldn't be the first time.
Hey, my case is done.
I can start Monday.
Okay. Then you'll have
to hit the ground sprinting.
You're gonna be going back
to the State's Attorney's office.
We closed the deal
to handle their investigative work.
It's easier on their budget
to contract out.
I want you
to be my top dog over there.
Okay, I guess that's funny.
- With Peter Florrick?
- Yes. He's the new State's Attorney.
He's bringing everyone back.
I'm staying.
Good.
I need you on the judge murder.
So, what was that,
your little three-day walkabout?
I wanted to leave. Now I don't.
You want me to stay?
I do.
- Okay.
- Is this about Alicia?
- Is what about Alicia?
- You leaving.
I'm not leaving.
At some point, Kalinda,
you're gonna have to confide
in someone.
No, I don't.
You know what I discovered?
I never have to confide in anyone.
The only client
harder to represent than a cop killer
is a judge killer.
And forget the adjective "alleged."
Everyone thinks our client did it.
This judge was a beloved figure,
which means we're the bad guys.
So don't expect any help
from outside these offices.
This is a high-profile,
heavy-coverage trial.
And Childs is gonna wanna make it
his swan song.
So I want everyone
to put his or her life on hold
for the next two weeks.

This will mostly be about sex.
And I need to know
if that will make anybody
uncomfortable.
And it's okay if it does.
Believe me,
this stuff makes me feel wiggly.
That's what my mom used to call it,
wiggly toes.
This is a simple matter
of contract law.
I'm sorry to refute the sexual tease
of my opposing counsel,
but really, what I need to know
is can you judge my client,
an independent business owner,
fairly?
Sex outside of marriage,
sex with more than one person,
sexual bondage.
I'm sorry, I just... I keep imagining
my parents listening to this.
Sure, I could be fair.
We business people all struggle
with the same things more or less,
it doesn't matter if it's sex
- or office supplies.
- Accepted.
If her business were dedicated
to illegal or illicit activity,
would that change your mind?
- Like what, prostitution?
- No.
Her website, SideEncounters. com,
is dedicated to connecting spouses
who want to cheat.
Well, I know my wife won't approve,
but everybody has to make a living.
I'm sorry, Your Honor,
I'd like to challenge this juror for cause.
- Your Honor, she's already used up...
- He's biased.
No, no, no. I am not gonna let this trial
get out of hand.
I'll allow Mrs. Crozier's challenge
for cause.
- It's Miss Crozier.
- Oh, I'm sorry. Miss.
It's all right.
I am looking, if that's any consolation.
Anyway,
I would agree with Mr. Gardner.
You're both arguing a case
through voir dire,
which I strenuously disapprove of.
And, Your Honor, I'd like to use
sexual images from the website in trial.
Come on, Your Honor,
she's turning this
into a lawsuit about sex.
Maybe it's just me,
but this is a lawsuit about sex.
No. The husband of your client
used my client's website to arrange
a date and wound up dead, that's all.
- It could've been about antiquing.
- But it wasn't. It was about infidelity.
Then we'd like to introduce the police
murder investigation into evidence.
That investigation was inconclusive.
How do we have access to this?
Thirty-year-old Sean Briglio.
Found in Room 606
of the Saint Martin Hotel.
Handcuffed, ball gag in his mouth,
and his penis severed from his body.
It's making me wince
even just talking about it.
The severed member was found
in the ice bucket.
- You're kidding.
- No.
On ice with the champagne.
There's probably a joke to be made
about shrinkage. I won't go there.
I think you just did.
The date he arranged on your client's
lovely website was with a Cynthia R.
- Okay.
- That's a made-up name.
And her handle was Prettispecial9.
We traced that IP address
to a Copycrater in Winnetka.
The trail ran cold there.
We checked his other earlier dates.
All had alibis.
- It's still an open investigation.
- Like Jimmy Hoffa, huh?
I would imagine if Jimmy Hoffa's penis
was found in a hotel ice bucket,
Chicago's finest would be looking
just as hard for his killer.
But we are trying to connect
this homicide
to another female suspect in Texas,
also a castrator.
Thanks, Cary. Always a pleasure.
Hey.
- I'm staying put.
- You're staying put?
- Where?
- Here.
- Oh. Peter Florrick wants you?
- Yeah. Isn't that odd?
I would've thought
my competition with his wife
would've made me
persona non grata.
- I would've thought so too.
- He doesn't seem to care
that Alicia and I
aren't on the best of terms.
Read into that what you will.
Okay.
This is a monastery, Alicia.
I am a priest.
Whatever you tell me
does not leave here.
It's not altruism, it's pragmatism.
I only have a practice if I'm discreet.
I'm separating from my husband.
These notes are for me.
I keep them under lock and key.
So you're looking
for a divorce lawyer?
No. Uh, we're separating.
But you will divorce?
I don't know yet.
I haven't decided yet.
- You worried about it going public?
- Yes.
- I wanna know how to protect myself.
- Financially?
Yes.
Is there anything I should be doing?
Your husband's income
over the past two years?
Negligible. I've been the supporter.
He's one month away
from becoming State's Attorney.
That's 220,000 a year.
You'd actually be better off
if you waited till next year to divorce.
David, let's forget this.
Yeah, what?
Okay.
Uh, you're needed upstairs.
Alicia,
I don't know your personal situation.
Frankly, I don't wanna know.
My tolerance for mess is minimal.
You are like me.
You like plans, you like lists.
So make a list of your income,
your expenses and his,
and all relevant tax returns.
Bring it to me, and I'll make you a list
of everything you need to do
to protect yourself, okay?
Within the firm, we can call it
"the Cole divorce."
Something I asked you to work on
with me.
Okay.
Thanks.
Oh, no. No thanks.
You're paying me now.
That was one billable hour.
I round up.
Well, the bottom line is it's a cold case.
A year-old unsolved homicide.
Now, the police suspect
that the victim was picked up
but there's no proof.
So our best defense
is to play into that ambiguity.
How can our client's website
be responsible
if the police
haven't absolutely concluded
- it's from her site?
- Oh, Alicia, good.
We're going to trial
on SideEncounters,
and we need you to take on
a more prominent role.
We didn't get the jury we wanted.
Our client's product
isn't the most sympathetic.
The opposing attorney is
playing up the sex and infidelity angle,
so we need you to take first chair.
Because my husband cheated
on me?
Well, yes. It might work on the jurors
who recognize you.
- You all right with that?
- Sure.
They're gonna wanna use you
as a punching bag,
so we need to limit
your time in court.
Also, we need some more sessions
of witness prep.
You're their biggest witness.
They're gonna put you on the stand.
Because I'm unsympathetic?
Yes.
And you're supposed to rub off on me?
The jury sees you being friendly to me,
and they think I must be tolerable?
Well, I hope a little more
than tolerable, but yes.
Funny,
I think of myself as very sympathetic.
Well, you're not on the jury.
Also, we need to talk
about your posture towards the widow,
the woman who's suing you.
Do you feel bad for her?
I do. I feel bad that her husband's
dead. I don't think she's suing me
because he's dead. She's suing me
because he used my website to cheat,
- and for that, she blames me.
- You don't think she should?
- You blame the beer for the DUI?
- No, but I might blame the bartender.
- I thought you were on my side.
- I am on your side.
The best way to be on your side
is to see how the other side thinks.
- That's what lawyers do.
- That's how I do it.
You know there's a porn movie
about you?
- No, I didn't know that.
- There's a porn movie about you.
And all the wives
standing by their husbands.
It's a trilogy, actually.
It's like Lord of the Rings.
There seems to be a whole subdivision
of erotica devoted to devoted wives.
- Good to know.
- I hope you're not offended.
Men masturbate to the thought of you.
Almost an honor when you think of it.
No. Even when I think of it,
it's not an honor.
- Good work.
- Wait, Alicia,
I don't wanna lose my husband
and my kids' money.
- How many kids do you have?
- Three.
Good. I can build on that.
Really? One of them has a bucktooth.
It's adorable.
I'll see you in court.
No, no, no. I'll get back to you.
That was Cary. His cold case,
- we're gonna stay in touch.
- Great.
- So, what's up?
- No, Kalinda, no.
What?
We both work here.
We're both going to continue
to work here.
So let's not talk.
- Alicia...
- No, you don't explain anything.
You do not put a single thing
in context.
You slept with my husband.
You do not say anything after that.
You do not.
It is selfish
to say anything after that.
I work here and you work here,
but that's it.
When you can find another case,
do it.
When you can walk the other way, do.
Now get out of my office.
There are so many people
who can see us right now,
but I swear I will scream
at the top of my lungs
if you don't get out of my office now.
Hello, Grace.
I thought I'd drop by
and bring your favorite.
I know your mom hasn't wanted me
to help out around here anymore,
but I don't think she'll begrudge
my lemon muffins.
- Hey, Grandma.
- Zach.
How have you two been doing?
- Good.
- Yeah, we're good.
I'll tell your dad. He's just so torn up.
Yeah.
Mom said he's in an apartment?
Yes, she moved him there.
I think it's comfortable.
It's just...
It's awful, though, how quick it was.
- I didn't see it coming.
- Yeah. We're good, though.
I guess I'm still trying to absorb it.
You don't know
what your mom's thinking, do you?
She said that they'd give it a try.
It was just too much for them.
Well, I don't know why they can't try
and still stay in the same place.
- It just seems odd.
- It's just between Mom and Dad.
- Yes, but it's about you two too.
- I don't think we should talk about it.
Alicia.
Nancy.
Oh, I'm so thrilled
you'll be digging into this.
We left things so unresolved
last time.
I know. And I felt bad
about how that came down.
Came...? What do you mean?
How I beat you last time.
Oh, you're so funny.
Sean and I had this tradition
on our anniversary.
We'd break open some champagne
and just watch our wedding video.
- I know. Old-fashioned.
- No, it sounds beautiful.
I hate to have to get to this,
but when did you first learn
that your husband was having affairs
on SideEncounters. com?
When the police came to my house
to tell me Sean had been murdered.
If it's not too hard for you,
what did they tell you?
They showed me his profile
on her website.
And this is your husband?
- Yes.
- Your Honor, at this point
I'd like to show more photos
of Mr. Briglio,
but we need to warn the court...
Yes, yes, thank you.
The images you're about to see
are of a strong sexual nature.
If anyone wants to leave,
please feel free to do so.
Okay.
These are from your husband's
private gallery on the website.
- And this is him with another woman.
- Yes.
And this is him with two women.
Did you know
who these women were?
No. They're people he met
through this website.
And had your husband
ever cheated on you
- before learning about this website?
- Objection, Your Honor. Hearsay.
Oh, uh, yes. Um, sustained.
Sorry that's so objectionable.
But you were happy, Dana?
- I think it's all right if I ask that much.
- I was.
I'm not saying our marriage
was perfect,
but we always told the truth
to each other.
Until he found this site.
Those pictures are very upsetting.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Mrs. Briglio, who's Gina Wiggens?
My husband didn't sleep with her.
I'm just wondering who she is.
A co-worker at his school.
She was always clinging on him.
Didn't Ms. Wiggens bring a restraining
order against your husband?
Sean was the victim there.
She pursued him.
- That's what your husband told you?
- Yes. And it's true.
Because your husband
always told you the truth
- until he found Stephanie's website?
- Yes.
A copy of the restraining
order against your husband.
- Have you read it?
- No.
- Would you like to?
- No.
- Because you trust your husband?
- Yes.
I took an oath and I kept it.
To trust him.
Your husband first logged on
to SideEncounters in April of 2009.
Can you read when Miss Wiggens
brought the restraining order
- against your husband?
- That doesn't mean anything.
She's lying.
French, circa 1660.
And I start the bidding out
at 250,000.
Kalinda Sharma.
Sophia.
I almost didn't recognize you
undercover.
So I should've known.
You're a big fan of Pre-Raphaelite.
Yeah. I was, uh, just looking
for some home furnishings.
- Mm-hm.
- What are you working?
l-banker. The first row, last one.
It's the guy with the girl.
Company thinks
he's bidding on blank checks.
Really? Sounds fun.
- Don't patronize me.
- No, seriously. Sounds fun.
Wait a minute. I asked you...
I asked you to come join me.
I begged you to come join me,
and you said
corporate investigation wasn't for you.
I changed my mind.
And you said
you'd never change your mind.
I was wrong.
Take my position.
- What's going on?
- Well, I wanna try something new.
Yeah? Okay, so why not go
to the State's Attorney's office?
- We both have friends still there.
- This sounded better.
So I was your second call.
- Offended?
- No. Confused.
We won't let you wear
what you're wearing.
- It's a very corporate world.
- Well, I can adapt.
I've just started
a new white-collar division.
- I'm in.
- Wanna think about it first?
I just did.
- That's not what I said.
- Yes, it is.
In your promotional material,
you're quoted as saying
that your website allows couples
to have affairs without cheating.
Yes, but I meant it about biology.
Monogamy is unnatural.
It forces the body to do something
it's not meant to do.
- Be committed?
- No, be monogamous.
- Have you used your website?
- Have I? Yes.
- You've cheated?
- It's not cheating.
We know exactly where we are,
we know exactly who we're dating.
- Your husband approves?
- Not only does he,
I approve
when he wants to date.
So if having an affair keeps a marriage
from being based on a lie,
why do you have a panic button
on your website?
- What?
- Why does your website have a button
that allows the reader to hide the page
to keep anyone looking?
Because you don't have to share
my philosophy to use my website.
Ooh.
You give good prep.
- I wanna light a cigarette.
- Not in here.
I was joking.
Don't delve too deeply
into the philosophy of your website.
You have to offer context, but briefly.
It makes you sound like a crank.
Okay.
What?
I don't get it.
You don't get?
How I can sleep with other people
besides my husband?
Yes. I mean, why even get married?
- I love him.
- Yes.
But what does that have to do
in this context?
It means I wanna spend
more time with him
than any other man or woman.
I don't understand the reverse.
How do you have sex
with just one man?
Why would you wanna do anything...
Play cards, go sailing, go fishing,
whatever.
- with just one person?
Because it would hurt them not to.
Yes.
Yes. But that's not about love.
That's about fear.
That's about jealousy.
If you love someone,
don't you set them free?
No.
You like to tie them down?
Yes, basically.
Aren't there men you look at,
and you just watch them?
In a Starbucks line, opening a door,
tying their shoes.
And you just wanna grab their hand
and slide it up the small of your back?
Or feel the touch
of someone else's lips on your skin?
The taste of someone else's tongue?
The pleasure of
someone else's orgasm?
Don't you want that?
I have to go.
Good work.
- You look tired.
- Thanks.
- Cary, you called?
- Did I?
Yeah. An hour ago, you said
it was to do with Sean Briglio's murder.
Oh, yeah, yeah, no, I just... I wanted
to see if you had anything for me.
Cary.
Just a minute. I'll be right back.
Sure.
Please leave a message.
Alicia, you need to answer this.
Nancy Crozier was meeting with Cary.
I'm a bit old-fashioned
about these things,
so walk me through this.
Oh, I don't think
you're that old-fashioned.
Really? Thank you.
Just walk me through this.
What is a triad?
It's an open marriage
among three partners.
Wow. I'm just a Michigan girl.
Fresh off the boat.
- Miss Engler, let's turn to the victim...
- Mrs. Engler. Married six years, so...
Hey, baby.
Sorry, Mrs. Engler.
How did you know the victim,
Sean Briglio?
How? He used my site.
- You never met him in person?
- No.
And this credit-card charge
to the Saint Martin,
February 16th, 2010.
Who were you meeting then?
- Uh, who was I meeting?
- Yeah.
Um, you made a credit-card charge
to the Saint Martin
on the same day that Mr. Briglio
was meeting one of his dates.
Objection. Your Honor, what does
this have to do with the plaintiff's suit?
Yes. Ms. Crozier,
we seem to have run astray here.
Well, Your Honor,
if Mrs. Engler met
and slept with the victim,
then this suit
has even stronger merit.
Your Honor,
we request a short recess.
But, Your Honor,
I was just getting to the best part.
Let's take a short recess. I think
we can straighten this out. Don't you?
They just found their murder suspect.
Our client.
Then charge her. If you have
something on her, then charge her.
Sorry I don't have enough chairs.
My office is so small.
Come on, what's your game?
I don't have a game.
It's prosecuting the bad guys.
You're feeding information to Crozier
in a civil case against our client.
I understand your client lied
about not sleeping with him.
- Sleeping with him isn't illegal.
- Right.
- Killing him would be.
- Come on.
- You think she killed him?
- I think I'm investigating.
You're using our civil case
to further that investigation?
Well, let's just say that I'm watching
with rapt interest.
Next time, call ahead, guys,
I'll have cookies.
You slept with him, Stephanie?
He was into S & M.
It was too hard-core.
- I told him not to contact me again.
- What have you got, Kalinda?
Well, as far as I can tell,
the murder case now has heat.
They were trying
to connect Briglio's killer
to a serial castrator in Texas.
That's how they overlooked our client.
Okay. Our advice has changed,
Stephanie.
It's better to starve Cary's investigation
of your testimony.
So with your approval,
Alicia will make a deal on the civil,
and we'll turn to defending
on the criminal.
What's going on
with your buddy, Cary?
He seems intent on screwing us.
I'm turning in my notice.
Ha, ha. Yeah, okay.
What's the bump now, 5 percent?
No, Will, I'm turning in my notice.
This is my two weeks.
- I'm not getting into a bidding war.
- I'm not asking you to.
We're gonna make you
head of a department, K.
We're gonna put you
in charge of other investigators.
Look, Will, when you hired me,
I told you when I'm done, I'm done.
I'm done.
- I need to try something else.
- Where are you going?
I'll help you find my replacement.
Um, not really.
Don't you wanna take that offer
back to your client?
No, my client already gave me
- the acceptable amount.
- Which is?
Darn it, you almost made me slip.
You have a loser case, Nancy.
We're offering you the insurance limit.
We don't want the insurance limit.
Where do you get your hair done?
- It's so shiny.
- She's not getting 11 million.
I don't know. This guy at the State's
Attorney's office, he's been helpful.
He's been giving me a few names that
maybe I should add to the witness list.
What?
Grace?
- What's wrong?
- Nothing.
- l... Are you sure? Is Zach okay?
- Yeah. It's not anything.
Mom, I wanna talk.
Grace, we discussed this.
I know. It's... I don't get...
We're separating.
We need to take a breath.
I know other kids at school
who were told that, and it's never true.
It's just something parents tell them
to make them feel better.
I love you, Grace.
Maybe you're right. I don't know.
I'm hurting.
Can't Dad help you with that?
- No.
- But Dad's hurting too.
He doesn't understand.
- Dad came by?
- No.
He called?
Grandma told us.
She came over.
I shouldn't have said.
She told me not to say.
Your grandmother...
Grace, listen to me.
Your grandmother has issues.
She's Ionely.
She'll be wanting to come over.
I need you to call me
when she does.
Promise me you'll call me.
I'll call you back.
Okay, so let me start.
Stop contributing to your
retirement fund until this settles.
You have a salary bump coming
in two months.
Ask to delay it till next year.
Make copies of your stock options.
Keep them here at the office.
They go missing
if we start proceedings.
Talk to me about custody.
- Is it that serious?
- I wanna know my options
if I do something
to make it that serious.
Okay.
Uh, your children are both teenagers
and have a good deal of say
in which parent to live with.
More than you might think.
Do not become the difficult parent.
And document how much time
you spend with the kids,
how little time he does.
When I say "document,"
I mean a journal.
What effect does a grandparent's
involvement have?
Determining parental involvement?
None.
It's all down to the parents.
Alicia, delay this fight.
- It's not a fight.
- Then delay this.
He means more to you
in the State's Attorney's office than out.
On all levels.
I'm speaking purely pragmatically
and, oddly, selflessly.
Thank you.
I'm needed in court.
You were working as a valet
the night of the murder?
Yes. It was awful. People screaming.
And you saw this car?
Stephanie's car,
the night of the murder?
Yes, that car.
I saw it peeling out of the parking lot.
My goodness.
Why didn't you tell the police before?
Well, it's only recently
they brought me this picture.
Hmm.
Thank goodness it jogged
your memory.
Why are you here and not helping
the police arrest my client?
I have no idea.
Let's see, I've worked
at the Copycrater for two years now.
- I'm good with people.
- And you knew her as a customer?
Uh, yeah.
She uses the computers sometimes.
And these are the computers
that the killer, Prettispecial9,
used to write her e-mails?
This is where the police
traced the, um...
- What is it called?
- IP address?
- Yes.
- Oh, yeah.
It's our little brush with fame.
But you didn't see Stephanie
at Copycrater on the actual day?
The day the e-mail was sent? No.
All I can tell you
is that she's a customer. That's all.
The carpet fibers found
at the crime scene,
they're from
a Socala Tweed Stitch carpet.
- And the defendant owns this carpet?
- Yes.
And yet I'm still baffled
why you're here, detective,
and not at some murder trial.
Can you answer that?
I can't. All I can say
is that the plaintiff subpoenaed me.
We need another suspect.
See what you can do.
Even the whiff of another suspect
will help.
Got it.
God, this pisses me off.
- Do you think she did it?
- Stephanie? I don't know.
It doesn't matter if she did.
This lawsuit's still bogus.
A photo I took earlier
in front of the courthouse.
A gray metallic Audi.
Now, here's Stephanie's car.
The photo used in court.
It's what the valet testified looked
like the car he saw racing off
on the night of the murder. Now, they
don't look much the same, do they?
Until you put it at the scene
and put it
under the same fluorescent lighting.
Who does this car belong to?
The widow.
Dana Briglio.
You can point to her as the killer.
You can't be leaving me, Kalinda.
You're too good at this.
It's time to move on.
- What are you, a Dylan song?
- Heh.
You said you had my back.
What do you want from life, Will?
What do I want?
I don't know.
Suddenly this is about me?
Do you want the same things
as Alicia?
Alicia?
I don't know.
There's a vast difference
between us.
- Because she's married?
- Yeah, for one.
And she has kids, and I'm...
What are we talking about here?
She separated from her husband.
What?
Alicia.
She separated from Peter.
It's not...
There are too many issues.
I know. There always are.
Why?
Why did they separate?
It's not public knowledge,
so don't tell her I told you.
I'm not gonna tell her anything.
You know best.
Full confession.
At one point early in the race,
I actually thought Peter might lose.
Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt.
Alicia, hello. What a surprise.
- Do you have a moment?
- I do.
I know you've heard me talk about her
quite a bit, but allow me to introduce...
Alicia, this really is a surprise.
From now on, Jackie,
when you wanna come to my home,
you will call me.
If you can't get me,
call my assistant.
If you can't get her, try again.
Why are you so upset, Alicia?
Jackie, do you hear my voice?
Do I sound upset?
No, but these words are so hostile.
The next time you try
to turn my children against me,
I will keep them permanently
off-limits to you.
I didn't try anything. I...
I tried to explain
because no one else is explaining.
Jackie, I have come to understand
that you need to hear things
two times to absorb them,
so the next time you try
to turn my children against me...
This is so disrespectful.
I watched over them.
Yes, and thank you.
That's why I'm not cutting them off
immediately.
They're Peter's children too.
Yes.
But they're not yours.
He'll get custody.
- That's unlikely.
- He's the State's Attorney.
Who banged a hooker 18 times.
- Let's see where that ends up.
- Oh, you're awful.
You don't know the half of it.
The next time you wanna see
your grandchildren, you call first.
I know what happened
in your house.
I was your housekeeper, you know.
I have no idea what that means,
Jackie.
Yup. Like I said,
that's the car I saw skidding off.
- You saw this at Saint Martin?
- Yes.
But this is Dana Briglio's car.
- Excuse me. Objection, Your Honor.
- Okay. On what grounds?
Relevance.
What are they suggesting?
That Mrs. Briglio killed
her own husband?
Yes, that's exactly what we're
suggesting. Thank you, Ms. Crozier.
That's ridiculous.
No more than suggesting
our client did it.
I think I have to overrule that,
Ms. Crozier.
You introduced the car evidence.
Uh, they should be allowed
the opportunity to refute it.
Thank you, Your Honor.
But isn't the Socala Tweed Stitch
carpet fiber
one of the most common types
in North America?
- That's true.
- And have you tested all of the carpets
belonging to Mrs. Briglio?
- All of them? No.
- Do you think you should?
No, I don't recognize her.
You're sure?
She lives just as close to your shop
as my client, Stephanie Engler.
Well, I don't see everybody
who comes in.
Good job.
Really good job.
I loved seeing Nancy Crozier's face.
Yeah. Thanks.
How are you?
Is everything good?
Everything's good.
You?
Yeah, I guess, you know.
If you ever wanna talk...
Sure.
Good.
I'm here.
Oh, Kalinda, good.
I want you to prep Alicia
for the questioning of Dana tomorrow.
Thanks.
Okay. Um, I'm still tracing down
Prettispecial9's avatar.
It seems to be part
of the bigger picture.
Possibly two overlapping drawings.
Um, still haven't found a match.
Do you want me to get somebody else
to brief you?
You mean someone
who hasn't slept with my husband?
Yes, you're in pain, Alicia. I hurt you.
- Now, do you wanna know the facts?
- Of what?
I slept with him once.
Now, I do that.
It means nothing to me, but I do that.
Look, Alicia, I didn't know you.
I had never even seen a picture of you.
To me, you were just a housewife.
Then I met you and I liked you.
I liked working with you,
I liked talking with you.
I felt bad.
I don't like feeling bad.
Every step of the way,
you just looked at me.
And you knew?
- Yes.
- And I'm an idiot. I never once thought
that you were my friend
out of some guilt.
Out of some guilty welfare
for poor little me.
That's not why.
I don't have friends, Alicia.
You were a friend.
And you lied to me.
You said, "That's not true,"
about being with him.
Yes.
- I'm sorry.
- Oh, okay, thanks.
- Oh, now that we've cleared that up...
- I'm not explaining to...
How was my husband?
Was he good?
I'm... I found another job,
and I'm leaving next week.
Good.
Get out.
What?
Well...
We're still confirming,
but we think
your husband is Prettispecial9.
We think he was the one
who wrote to Sean Briglio
and arranged that last date.
We think you should be forewarned.
But l...
- What?
- Our investigator thinks
that it probably was your car
skidding away from the Saint Martin
on the night of the murder,
but your husband was driving it.
And the carpet fibers
we think are yours from your house,
but your husband
tracked them there.
And our investigator showed
your husband's photo
to the Copycrater employee,
and he identified him
as being a customer.
You're our client, Stephanie.
Alec isn't.
And that's why we wanted to tell you.
But why?
- Why did he do it?
- Yes.
He was jealous.
Yes. The violence of the crime scene,
the castration,
suggests some passionate emotion.
- He was jealous?
- Yes.
Did you talk to him
about sleeping with the victim?
Yeah. But I...
I didn't think he cared.
So, Mrs. Engler, as your lawyers,
we advise you to create distance
between you and your husband.
It's legally smart,
but also, it might be safer.
Either way, we're in a sticky situation
with the lawsuit.
The plaintiff
can now show culpability.
Stephanie.
Okay.
That didn't go the way I thought.
- She's in love.
- All right, negotiate with Crozier.
Let's try to keep her liability
to a minimum.
She's gonna need it
for a good defense lawyer.
You clearly got
Will Gardner's attention.
He asked me
how much I offered you,
I figure this is when you tell me
you're staying put.
That was your plan, right?
To get his bid up.
You think I've been using you?
I think it wouldn't be the first time.
Hey, my case is done.
I can start Monday.
Okay. Then you'll have
to hit the ground sprinting.
You're gonna be going back
to the State's Attorney's office.
We closed the deal
to handle their investigative work.
It's easier on their budget
to contract out.
I want you
to be my top dog over there.
Okay, I guess that's funny.
- With Peter Florrick?
- Yes. He's the new State's Attorney.
He's bringing everyone back.
I'm staying.
Good.
I need you on the judge murder.
So, what was that,
your little three-day walkabout?
I wanted to leave. Now I don't.
You want me to stay?
I do.
- Okay.
- Is this about Alicia?
- Is what about Alicia?
- You leaving.
I'm not leaving.
At some point, Kalinda,
you're gonna have to confide
in someone.
No, I don't.
You know what I discovered?
I never have to confide in anyone.
The only client
harder to represent than a cop killer
is a judge killer.
And forget the adjective "alleged."
Everyone thinks our client did it.
This judge was a beloved figure,
which means we're the bad guys.
So don't expect any help
from outside these offices.
This is a high-profile,
heavy-coverage trial.
And Childs is gonna wanna make it
his swan song.
So I want everyone
to put his or her life on hold
for the next two weeks.
