The Good Wife (2009–2016): Season 2, Episode 8 - On Tap - full transcript

Previously on The Good Wife:

Look, you're right.
I don't have a plan.

Let's just drop this, okay?

He told me to drop it.

Anything said in voicemail
doesn't count.

No, you know what?

I'm not just dropping this.
You wanna know my plan? I love you.

Okay? If none of this makes sense
to you, just ignore it.

I need something
on a Dr. Randall Booth.

- We need to kneecap him.
- Anything you want, Mr. Gardner.

- Hello?
- Hey. Alderman. It's me.



Hey, what is that?
You having a party?

Yeah. My, uh, daughter's
preschool graduation.

Is this, uh?
This is about the cash?

Yeah. Yeah, the 50,000.

So, what, they have
preschool graduations these days?

Preschool, grade school,
Sunday school.

Celebrate every second of a kid's life
these days.

Ha-ha-ha. Yeah, Lindsey
wants to have a kid, but I don't know.

Twenty-five-eighteen minimization.

A 2518 minimization
is a 30-second break in the recording

required by law for when
a phone conversation turns personal.

You're probably wondering

why we're asking you
to indict only one of these men today.

The simple reason is,
this man is dead.



Royce Crombie was a bundler,

a man who solicited money
for politicians.

When Mr. Crombie found out that
this grand jury had been empanelled,

he took his own life.

So we are asking you to focus
on this man today:

Matthew Wade.

Now, I know many of you
may recognize him...

Detroit Pistons, 2000.

- but I still need you to judge him
purely as a politician.

A corrupt politician.

Dang, man.

I thought you were supposed
to distract me.

- This is distracting you.
- What, distracting me with fouls?

You gotta protect those knees,
old man, for Marion.

Looking good.

- Who's that?
- Tammy.

Now, now.

So you really were done, huh?

Moved on from
your schoolyard crush.

- How'd you meet her?
- She's an old friend.

I told her to come down here
to watch me whip the ass

of the great Matthew Wade.

Here we go.

- How'd we do?
- Nothing yet.

We're hearing
they may come back tomorrow.

- Tomorrow? You're kidding.
- No.

Kalinda thinks she can find out more
when the clerk comes out.

- Okay. Keep me in the loop.
- How is he?

Better than I'd be.

You're a good friend,
hanging with him.

No, in Chicago,
you need your friends three times:

at your wedding, your wake,
and your first indictment.

- Blake's here. Just arrived.
- Good. Have him help Kalinda.

Yeah. Actually, I don't know how much
those two help each other.

As long as they don't kill each other,
the competition's good for the firm.

Dr. Booth is, uh, still in the hospital.

Sorry. That's the witness
that you put in a coma.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.
When did I do that again?

When you broke into his office

to find evidence
for our antidepressant case

and the good doctor surprised you.

Right. Right.
That must've slipped my mind.

Because I thought
I broke into his office,

I found the evidence,
I accidentally left the door open,

and then some unknown assailant
beat him up.

Sure. When the police question you,
stick to that.

See you.

Clerk just left the room.

- Kalinda's on him.
- Good. We'll sit tight.

Nice guy. I saw him at UCLA in '97.
Played like a demon.

Sorry, hon. Looks like
I won't know for another day.

- So did he do it?
- Do what?

Whatever they're charging him with.

He's a black Muslim alderman
in the city's poorest ward.

He was wiretapped
saying I don't know what.

My guess is
it doesn't matter if he did it.

Music's off,
and he's the one without a chair.

- You're not interested in this, are you?
- I'm sorry, were you talking?

I have a surprise for you
tomorrow at work.

Sounds dirty. What is it?

Let me explain
this whole idea of a surprise.

If you fall in love with me,
I'm out of here.

I know.

- I'm just warning you. Ha, ha.
- I know.

Will.

Call waiting.

The problem isn't corruption.
The problem is terrorism.

- What?
- They say he took extremist money.

Thirty years to life.

I need you to take this.

- I heard. It's just federal overreach.
- I know.

They may have stumbled
on to something they can win:

anti-Muslim bias.

Wiretaps are hard. Juries love them.

I know.
That's why I need you to take this,

get it kicked in pre-trial motions.

- He will lose in front of a jury.
- And if I advise him to cop a plea?

It's your call.

Okay, very simply,

the government was embarrassed
by the Blagojevich fiasco,

and they're gunning for
any Chicago politician they can find.

Will has nothing to do with this.

He has asked me to lead because his
friendship with Wade is a hindrance.

So here is our plan.
Get the terrorism charge booted.

We do that, we get a 30-year sentence
down to six months and change.

Two fronts. The money.

I'm going through
Royce Crombie's finances.

He bundled for a lot of candidates.

- I'm trying to trace the cash.
- Good. Take Blake.

And the second front, the wiretaps.

Already worked out discovery
with the feds.

We go to them,
work in their house.

- How many hours of tapes?
- Hundred thirty-five.

How many people do you need?

Michael, Howard, Allan, Alicia.
Should take a week.

Good. There's something in those
tapes the government believes

makes their terrorism case.

Is it an inaudible utterance?
Is it guesswork?

Find it, neutralize it.
When do you go?

- As soon as this meeting is over.
- Good. It's over.

No pens, no papers, no cells.
The tapes won't be marked.

The calls won't be labeled.

They make our jobs hard
because we are out to destroy them.

You brought jackets. Good. The feds
keep the room temperatures freezing.

It's petty harassment,
but don't complain.

Don't bitch. Just work harder.
Don't say anything to anyone but me.

Don't forget, you find anything,
knock on my door.

Ma'am.

Two-twenty-two-ten.

Eleven thirty-eight a.m.

- Hello?
- Wade, it's me. You phoned?

- Yeah.
- At the office. What's up?

You sound busy.
I just thought we could talk.

Well, why don't we meet up?
Advice or consultation?

A bit of both. When does
the meter start running, Eli?

When does the meter
start running, Eli?

Ha, ha. For a friend,
when we both agree.

I got a meeting with Florrick in ten,
so, uh, what do you need?

That's just pitiful.
Fifty-seven friends.

The only thing worse
than having a fake profile

- is having nobody visit it.
- We just need to update it.

He needs to comment more
on his dad's race.

No, he needs to comment more
on his opponent's race.

What? We have Glenn Childs Jr.
say something racist

about his dad's
African-American opponent.

- It wouldn't be us saying it. It'd be him.
- Yeah, but it'll be us having him say it.

And besides,
it'll just make Wendy look sympathetic.

So, what, then?
We need something viral.

Oh, my God. Dad.
Dad, look, it's a double rainbow.

Dad, get out of your sleeping bag.

Tell me, Dad, what does it mean?

It means the city is safe.

So why do you need
the blinds closed again?

For your surprise.

It's not my birthday.

- You see the puppy?
- I do.

- The puppy's smiling.
- I can see.

No.

- Where?
- Fifty-yard line.

- How?
- Magic.

I got to admit,
this is really turning me on.

I knew it would.

- How much time do we have?
- Twenty minutes.

We're not alone.

- Sorry. l...
- Oh, it's okay.

- Something on the wiretaps.
- What is it?

Someone who's on them. Eli Gold.

Well, I guess
that would make sense.

Wade would be phoning
a political operative like Eli.

Well, that's what I thought at first too,
but the wiretaps are on Eli's phone.

You think the feds
are going after him?

Six degrees of wiretap.

The feds go from Crombie to Wade,
Wade to Eli, then Eli to...

Uh, thank you, Alicia.

Eli is a top client, but I think
you can't say anything to him.

I know it'll be difficult, but you're
covered by the same confidentiality.

- Do you want off the wiretap detail?
- No.

- Unless you want me off.
- No. You're doing a good job.

So anything
on the terrorism charge?

Well, now we know
why the grand jury indicted.

Wade comes out and says it.

Is the $50,000 political payoff
from, uh, Islamic extremists?

He actually says
"Islamic extremists"?

- Wade says he was joking.
- Yes, but it doesn't sound good.

All right. Stay on it.
Thank you, Alicia.

Your client killed a man. And in
Chicago, at least today, that's illegal.

I'm not gonna cut any corners
with you, so get it to me by 5.

You sound tough.

Yeah. I'm in a bad mood.
What do you need?

The Crombie suicide.
I need his movements last week.

Oh, yeah? The bundler?
Shouldn't you be in federal court?

I thought Cook County probably did
its own investigation.

- Come with me.
- No, you can just send it over.

Kalinda, come with me.

Okay.

Wow, you really are in a bad mood.
What's up?

Dr. Randall Booth.
Do you know who that is?

I do.

Thank you for not lying to me.

Well, thank you for having
so much faith in me.

He was beaten
within an inch of his life

after surprising a burglar
ransacking his office.

Strangely enough,

your firm won a case the next day
that benefited from that assault.

- You making an accusation?
- No.

I saw the assault report,

and your fingerprints were found
at the scene.

- What?
- Now, I told the investigators

what I thought.
I thought you probably went

to the doctor's office earlier in the day
to question him,

and that's how your fingerprints
ended up there.

And the police,
they wanted to question you.

I told them this sort of assault
was unlike you

and suggested they look elsewhere.

Thanks.

But if I were you, Kalinda,

I would try and figure out how
my fingerprints ended up at the scene.

What did the assailant use?

- To beat the doctor?
- Yeah.

They never recovered, but the police
think it was a baseball bat.

Ha, ha. I
was elected by a five-point margin.

In Ward 53. I could get
a serial killer elected in Ward 53.

Okay, I gotta go.

Uh, I'll help if I can,
but my hands are full with Florrick.

Four-thirteen-ten. Eleven sixteen a.m.

- This is Gold.
- Yeah, Dad, it's me.

Your mom said you'd phone.

- Did she tell you?
- She told me a strange story

about you wanting to move to Israel
and living on a kibbutz.

It's not strange, Dad.
I'm 18. I wanna go.

Yeah, of course you wanna go,
but you're...

Twenty-five-eighteen
minimization. Eleven seventeen a.m.

Thirty-second break. Tap resumed.

Hey, Alderman Wade.

Hoping you can help us
with that new detox center down on...

This is Gwen Abernathy
from the Central City no-kill shelter.

Wondering if you had time
to schedule an appointment

to come talk to the high school.

- No, no, don't tell Peter.
- Why not?

It's a detail. He hates details.
I'll ask Alicia.

What's up with you, Eli?

Everything you do
you shoot past the candidate's wife?

- No, I don't.
- Yeah, you do.

Okay, I do. She's smart.

She's not like...
What was that one in 2008?

Oh, my God. Jenny.

Yeah. Ha, ha.

Does she know everything
you're up to?

- Alicia? No.
- You gonna tell her?

I don't know.
Um, she's burdened with a...

What do you call that thing?
A conscience?

- Oh, yeah, that.
- Yeah, that.

What's up, Martin? I'm kind of busy.

What did we say?
What the hell did we say?

Is this about the debates?

No, Glenn Childs
cannot stand on a soap box.

- You know what this is about.
- You're right. But remind me.

We said hands off families.

Florrick has two kids. My client has
two kids. They were off-limits.

- They are off-limits.
- Then what am I looking at?

- Tell me. I need guidance.
- A fake web profile.

A double-rainbow video
of someone faking Glenn Jr.'s voice.

- Sounds sweet.
- It has Childs and his son

in the same sleeping bag together.

Google "double rainbow"
and "Glenn Childs Jr."

Doesn't sound like us, Martin.
Have you checked out Wendy?

Oh, come on, Eli.
That only works so many times.

You know,
we have stuff we can use too.

Stuff on Zach and Grace.

- That's right, I know their names.
- Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, it's so beautiful.

Don't do anything
you'd regret, Martin.

Or what? My only regret
is thinking you'd stick to your word.

You wanna make this about families?
This is now about families.

Dad. Dad,
get out of your sleeping bag.

- You gotta see this.
- I don't know, Eli, but it's not us.

Let me comfort you, son.

Hey, alderman. Got a moment?

Yeah. Why wouldn't I?
It's only 5 a.m.

- I'm sorry. Did I wake you?
- How much, Royce?

Thirty thousand.

So we talking
Islamic extremists here? Ha-ha-ha.

So we talking
Islamic extremists here? Ha-ha-ha.

It was a joke. They were
laughing. I got the original.

Four-twenty-three-ten.
Five thirty-three a.m.

That's my call waiting.
Good. I'll see you in court.

Hello?

Hey, Alicia.
We've got a bit of a problem.

Mr. Gold. Eli. How are you?

- Good. Why?
- No reason.

Okay. So I got a call
from the Childs campaign

about something on the Internet
that we did not approve.

- Alicia?
- Eli, why don't we do this in person?

In...? It'll only take a second.

Um, you know what?
We can do it after court.

- We'll do it in person.
- What's going on?

We'll talk later.

All rise. The Honorable
Judge Lessner presiding.

And we have pre-trial motions

on People v. Alderman Matthew
Wade, is that correct?

- Yes, Your Honor.
- Oh, hell.

Miss Lockhart,
do you have a motion?

Diane. Psst. Diane. Diane.

Uh, one moment, Your Honor.

Just keep saying "in my opinion"
for everything.

- Keep what?
- I've argued in front of this judge.

- Just do it.
- Miss Lockhart?

Um, yes, Your Honor. I, um...

We believe the government has
padded its charge against my client

with a ridiculous terrorism count,
in my opinion,

and we ask for summary dismissal
of this charge.

The government has ample reason
to charge Mr. Wade, Your Honor.

In the submitted wiretaps,

he had mentioned,
on several occasions,

receiving money
from Muslim extremists.

- In your opinion?
- Excuse me, Your Honor?

In your opinion,
you have ample reason?

Yes, in my opinion.

The unfortunate thing is,
Your Honor,

the government has attempted
to bury the fact

that his was merely a joke,
in my opinion.

A joke taken deathly seriously
by their client.

I'm sorry, was that in your opinion?

Miss Vashey, was it?

Yes, Your Honor, in my opinion.

The only problem is that,
in an earlier taped conversation

between Mr. Wade
and Royce Crombie,

the two men discussed
Mr. Wade's faith

and joked that the only people

who would contribute money to him
were Islamic extremists.

This then became their running gag.

A running gag unaccompanied
by laughter, Your Honor.

Yes, this tends to happen
in human conversation.

You will find,
at these moments in the wiretaps,

Mr. Wade and Crombie joked,
with laughter,

about Muslim extremists.

In my opinion.

It does seem a little odd,
Miss Vashey,

that someone who was an actual
Muslim extremist

would refer to associates
as Muslim extremists.

Do you have anything else?

Miss Vashey, anything?

Your Honor,
immediately after Mr. Wade received

$50,000 from
an Islamic extremist contributor,

he vetoed the city council's decision

and insisted
that the Al Murad mosque be built.

Oh, come on.

This he did
over the objections of his community

and the advice
of his campaign manager,

- in my opinion.
- This is a moving target

of an indictment, Your Honor.
In my opinion, it should be rejected.

The evidence is quite clear,
in my opinion.

Then supply it
to the defense for review,

and I will hear arguments
on this charge in four days' time.

They're going to get me
no matter what.

Alderman Wade did, in fact,
maneuver the city council

to approve the Al Murad mosque
on 86th.

And he explained why.

He did.
It was a blighted neighborhood,

and the building that was razed
was a squatters' meth house.

It's also true that the neighborhood
has revived since,

so one could argue that Wade
made the right decision.

- But?
- He received a payment

from Crombie,
a 50,000-dollar contribution

a day before he reversed himself
on the mosque.

- It's a bad fact.
- Yep.

- Anything good?
- Well, there's, um...

Something odd.

Um, the bundler, Crombie, at the time
of this 50,000-dollar contribution,

he made six visits in one week

to the same gas station
in Garfield Park.

Okay. I don't understand.

This gas station
is ten miles away from him.

You think it was a meeting place
for one of these Islamic contributors?

- Or a non-Islamic one.
- I will... I will find out.

We're still on the wiretaps.
Halfway through.

Good. Then let's go.

Everything all right?

Yeah, will be soon.

So what'd you do with my bat?

I took it because I didn't want you
to destroy my next rental car.

- Right. So where is it?
- You know what I want, Kalinda?

A truce. Because I really think
that we got off on the wrong foot.

This won't end well.

Well, that's intimidating.

Fifteen boxes we've seen
haven't yielded anything bulletproof,

so we need to focus on
repeated patterns of convers...

- Eli. How are you?
- Me? Good.

- Why? What's wrong?
- Nothing. I was just asking.

There is a tape online,
which we had nothing to do with,

making fun of Glenn Childs' son.

And I just had an angry call
from the Childs campaign

that they plan to return the favor.

Return? What do you mean?

I don't know,
but I wanted to prepare you.

Hold on.

Hello?

Yeah.

Well, stop him.
What do you want me to do?

Tough campaign?

We got
the Pastor Isaiah endorsement

at the moment when it means nothing,
because he loses his church.

So, yeah, I guess.

You're doing everything by the book,
aren't you?

Hello?

So, uh, Lemond Bishop
owns this place, right?

Yeah, I recognize you
from his crew.

I did some work
for Mr. Bishop last year.

Hey, I know he's legit now.
No more drugs.

Here's your change.

So, um, if Mr. Bishop happens
to come in here,

will you tell him
that Kalinda dropped by,

wanted to talk to him
about Alderman Wade?

He's not the owner, lady.

I'm just across the street.
Parked right there.

I don't think you're hearing me.
He's not the owner.

You have a nice day.

Stop it.

- Still mad at me?
- I'm just studying. See?

- This is called studying.
- Well, I'm bored.

Well, you need to work on that,
don't you?

How much would it cost?

Ten dollars.

My mom would kill me.

Not if it was just one sweet little stud,
right there.

Who do you think you are, Becca?

- You think what you did is funny?
- What did I do?

- The fake page you made about me.
- What fake page?

I know you did it, you bitch.
I recognize the picture.

What picture?
What are you talking about?

- The one from drama camp.
- What?

- Who do you think you are?
- Hey. She said she didn't do it.

- Oh, I get it. The Florricks.
- Oh, no, it's okay.

Glenn, stop it.

Zach!

Don't worry. You're still beautiful.

- He's such a jerk.
- Well, you were very brave.

No, I was just...

Thanks for sticking up for me.

I gotta go.

- Stay in.
- Mr. Bishop.

Oh, yeah. Now I know you.

- Kalinda Sharma.
- Yeah.

But your firm,
I thought you guys went bankrupt.

- Not yet, but we are working on it.
- Ha-ha-ha.

You're working on it.

So, what are we after here?

Actually, uh, I work for
Alderman Wade.

It would be really helpful

if we could prove
that the donations he received

came from someone other
than Islamic extremists.

Well, I'm no Islamic extremist, lady.

No, l...
I didn't think that you were, sir.

It's just that, the day after Wade
accepted the 50,000-dollar donation,

he made a hundred-and-eighty-degree
turn on building a mosque.

We just need to show
that the money's irrelevant, that's all.

Well, I wish I could help you,
but I like to donate anonymously.

You know, like Jesus said,

"Do good deeds in private so only
your heavenly Father will reward you."

Sure, but we could
keep you anonymous.

No. Thank you, though.
This is what I need.

I need you to stop asking questions
about my business.

My apologies.

Good luck with Wade.

I hated the Pistons,
but I always liked him.

Wow.

Every year, Cook County police
map out gang territories

according to crime statistics,
arrests and gang tags.

This is a copy of last year's map.

This territory here, according to police,
belongs to Lemond Bishop.

- Our old friend Bishop.
- He seems to be doing quite well.

- And who's this here?
- This is Cobal Sixty,

a competing gang.

They ran a meth house
from the squatters' building here.

That's the building
that was torn down,

and the Al Murad mosque
was built in its place.

- Oh, my God.
- This is a copy of this year's map.

Lemond Bishop occupies it all.

Alderman Wade wasn't being paid off
by Islamic extremists.

The mosque was irrelevant.

He was being paid off
by Lemond Bishop

to get rid of his competition's base.

What a defense.

Wade wasn't working for terrorists.
He was working for a drug lord.

You took the money.

We found out you took the 50,000
from a drug dealer.

- From a businessman.
- Come on.

Lemond Bishop is as much
a businessman as I'm a point guard.

You helped him control territory.

When did the rules get tougher
for black politicians?

Of course I took
a campaign contribution.

Of course I treated that contributor
like a friend.

Oh, my God, you're like a little kid,
gets his hand stuck in a cookie jar,

- starts yelling about racial bias.
- No, I'm like a little kid

who had to wait in line
for the white kids to get their hands

- out of the cookie jar.
- We're talking a plea bargain now.

We can get them down to five years.

- No.
- Wade.

Our only defense
is that you're just as corrupt

as any other politician
in this damn town.

- Then argue it!
- We have no options.

terrorism and drugs.

You just went from one enemy camp
to the other.

I'm not taking a plea.

Now, you gonna suit up?

- Oh, hello, Mrs. Florrick.
- Yes?

- I'm Becca. I'm visiting Zach.
- Zach, I think, is still at school.

Oh. Oh, wait. Heh.

Oh, that's him.

Um, he asked if I could wait.
He'll be right up. Well, may I?

Certainly.

I guess he had
to take Nisa home first.

She's his... His girlfriend.

So you're not?

Zach's girlfriend? No.
We're just study partners.

l... I don't have time for boyfriends.

My dad says,
"Get into a good college first,

and then we can talk about boys."

- So you haven't met Nisa?
- No.

Zach is a real sweetie
to make her feel at home.

Her family's from Somalia,

and I know how out of place
someone like that can feel here.

- No, he wants to go forward.
- With what?

With whatever we got.
He considers this a racial prosecution.

It is a racial prosecution,

but it's a racial prosecution
we're gonna lose.

We still have the wiretaps.
There's a lot of people on them.

Campaign operatives. Politicians
who seem pretty savvy about the cash.

Show the hypocrisy
of the prosecution

by naming the white participants
who are not being tagged?

One of them is our client.

Who?

Eli Gold.

Well, it wouldn't be Chicago
if there weren't a conflict of interests.

Okay. So let's finish the taps,

collect the names of all the operatives
and politicians on them,

get our ducks in row, see what kind
of brief we can argue from it.

How long have you known
Eli was on the wiretap?

Few days.

We don't
share information anymore?

Could you
have the mayor phone me back?

Of course, alderman.
I understand how important this is.

Of course, you understand

- the mayor's schedule is tight.
- Can you listen to this?

I promise you...

Ha, ha. Hey, no one else
works on a Sunday.

Yeah, what's up with you, Matthew?

I heard you're running into
a little trouble.

It's nothing I can't handle.
Just wondering if you miss Chicago.

Ha, ha. The restaurants.
So I heard the machine's falling apart.

At least that's what I read.

You guys all flee to the White
House and we're left holding the bag.

- Oh, come on, Wade.
- Who is it?

Do you want me
to tell Obama that? Ha, ha.

Ruth Yamaguchi?
The actual Ruth Yamaguchi?

No, no. I'll get the briefs together.
You finish the tapes.

- Good news?
- The best.

Uh, I've asked you here, Eli,

because I'm starting a new firm
with David Lee,

and I want your business
to come with me.

This move doesn't seem like you.

- It's more like...
- Will. I know.

I discovered Will and Derrick Bond
were thinking of pushing me out,

so this is me being proactive.

- This is happening when?
- Soon. In a few weeks.

Which takes me to the second thing
that I have to ask of you.

I need you to keep this confidential
until we're ready to make our move.

Where is Mrs. Florrick going?

I don't know.
My guess is she might stay with Will.

But I'd like her to come with me.

Thank you, Diane, for this confidence,
but I can't commit to a move.

I have to see
where the chips fall first.

I understand.

You're being wiretapped.

You'll need a good lawyer.

Five-twenty-two-ten.

Eight thirty-three p.m.

- Alderman Wade.
- Alderman Wade. Listen to you.

Ha-ha-ha. Hey, Will.
I saw it was you, man.

- It was a joke.
- I don't think it was a joke.

I think you've turned into
Alderman Wade,

- Savior of the 53rd Ward.
- Ha-ha-ha.

Yep, no time for the little people.

- So did you talk to her?
- I did.

- And?
- Choked.

No. You're kidding.
What she say?

Nothing. She didn't say anything.

- She blew you off?
- Didn't even phone me back.

- I asked her to phone me back, and...
- Wait a minute.

You didn't talk to her in person?

Was at her husband's press
conference. What was I gonna do?

- Come on. Grow a pair, dude.
- I did. I even phoned her twice.

Once, I said let's move on.
Then I phoned back to...

Twenty-five-eighteen
minimization. Thirty-second break.

Tap resumed.

- guess I thought it was obvious.

You spill your heart in person.
You don't do it in a voicemail.

- I don't know.
- That's why I'm telling you.

Now listen to me.

Go to her now, and you're gonna say
the same thing in person.

No. I'm done. I'm over it.

And that's good.
It's like something lifted.

If I weren't her boss
and she weren't married,

we'd be having
a different conversation.

But she's right not to phone.
And I'm good with it.

Hey, I just wanted to say...

Look, you're right.

I don't have a plan.

It's wrong. I'm your boss.
You're my employee.

Let's just drop this, okay?

- Your Honor, in my opinion...
- No, in my opinion,

we've presented sufficient...
Why can you...?

Miss Lockhart, I am seeing no reason
to dismiss these charges.

The motion is denied.
We will continue to trial.

Now...

- Is there anything else?
- Yes.

Just one more thing, Your Honor.

Your Honor,
we ask that subpoenas be ordered

for a person caught speaking
on the government wiretaps.

I'm not allowing
a fishing expedition, counselor.

I understand, Your Honor.

In our opinion,
there is only one person we need

in order to offer context to the charge
that Alderman Wade was bought

by Islamic extremists.

- And who is that?
- Ruth Yamaguchi.

- This witness is on the tapes?
- She is, Your Honor,

discussing Alderman Wade's
relationship with Muslims.

Uh, Your Honor, just to be clear,
Ruth Yamaguchi is...

- She works at the White House.
- And?

Uh...

Her connection to this case
is tangential at best.

In your opinion?

Yeah, of course.

Your Honor, we understand

that Miss Yamaguchi
works for President Obama,

and there may be some reluctance

to hear President Barack Obama's
name mentioned

in the same sentence as "Muslim"
and "terrorist."

But in my opinion,

that should have no impact
on the path to justice.

I would agree. Subpoena so ordered.
Is there anything else?

Miss Vashey?

Your Honor,
we will need a five-minute recess.

Bad time?

Brad Pitt has an earring.

- We're studying, Grandma.
- I know.

She doesn't like me.

Tell her you have a 4.2 GPA,
and she will.

No. My guess
is she still wouldn't like me.

Who's Becca?

For God's sake, he's done with her.
It was a one-time thing. It's over.

It's done.

Would you just stop following me?

That's your sister?

My dad already said he beat it.
And he'll beat it again if he has to.

- Just like everyone else.
- Gotta beat it

When did she do this?

He slept with one hooker, okay?
One hooker. Just one hooker.

Hey, look, a lot of hits.

What don't you understand?
One hooker. One hooker.

- One hooker.
- I gotta phone my dad.

Good job.
The government freaked out

about the Ruth Yamaguchi
subpoena.

They're dropping the case
against Wade.

Come on, Florrick, give it up.

Good job.

Yeah?

I, um...

Do you...?

I need to ask you a question.

Sure.

I hate your towels.
Oh, hey. What's up?
