The Good Wife (2009–2016): Season 3, Episode 15 - Live from Damascus - full transcript

Again, I want to
thank you for your service.

My assistant
will validate your parking.

I'm sending these infractions
of Mr. Gardner's

to the bar association.

If you won't pursue him,
they will.

Do what you gotta do.

Now get out of my office.

It's over.

It is.

Odd, huh?

Get used to it.

- Diane, Viola Walsh on line one.
- Yeah. Be right there.

- Syria?
- Yeah, we go to court tomorrow.

My guess, an
eleventh-hour offer.

Oh, and, Will,
Cary Agos for you.

Oh. There it is.

The official word.



Or he wants to indict me again.

Hey, Cary, how you doing?

Ah, I'm okay.

I think you know
why I'm calling.

I hope I know
why you're calling.

You're safe.

No indictment, and we're
not coming after you again.

Thanks.

No. No, you guys,
you played this smart.

Go celebrate.

Thanks, man.

You have 23 calls.

All congratulations.

Six judges among them,
and Lionel Deerfield.

He said it was important
you call him tonight,

- it's an emergency.
- Yep.

I think I can do without
Lionel Deerfield's good cheer tonight.

♪ I guess

in need of rescue ♪

♪ Waiting on love's sweet ♪

♪ Sweet charity...

They're on their way in now.

No, we're setting things up now.

Okay. Thanks, Alicia.
See you in minute.

I want in.

I handed it off when I thought

I was going to jail.
I'm not going to jail.

You had a brush with death,
my friend.

Take a week.

No, the adrenaline's pumping.

I'm ready to take someone down.

Okay, then.

Let's take 'em down.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm so glad, Will, really.

I am, too.
Thank you.

So, anyway,
they're going to be here

in a few minutes
for negotiations.

- Can you greet them?
- Sure.

Viola Walsh.

Yeah. Why?

Last time she was here,

she asked me to join her firm.

Really?

Maybe you could use that.

- Ms. Walsh.
- Mr. Gross.

Yes, and you're...?

Alicia. Florrick.

Oh. Yes, right.

So, this is where
creativity goes to die.

Oh, no, that's
the next floor.

Is that supposed
to be funny?

It-it is.

Well, I didn't
think it was funny.

Must've been
my delivery.

This way, please.

Diane!

William.

My two favorite people.

Viola. Always a pleasure.

And Neil Gross,
in his patented hoodie.

I'm just waiting to
get my blood sucked.

We seem to be catching you
in the middle of a party.

- Casual Wednesdays.
- Wow.

Look at these
wonderful exhibits.

Well, you just seem to be

girding yourself for battle,
aren't you?

Hello.

Oh, this is Caitlin.
She's sitting in.

Can we start?

Mr. Gross, hello.

- You created a suite of software...
- Oh, excuse me.

- We don't need to review the case.
- Oh, this isn't a review.

This is my opening argument.

- Oh.
- You created a suite of

decryption software
entitled CoursePoint.

It's not decryption software.

It's data-mining.

And your company sold it
to the Syrian government.

- We would deny that.
- And the Syrian electronic army

used this software
to decrypt and obstruct

private e-mails
and chats in order to

arrest, torture,
and murder protesters.

We represent the three
American protesters,

and we are asking that
their families be awarded

$1 million for damages

Uh... and $16 million
for pain and suffering.

Maybe my taste for hypocrisy
is at an all-time low.

Discussing dissidents while

party music's playing
in the next room...

Can we just get to the
core of the problem?

You don't care about
these protesters.

You care about your top
client, Patric Edelstein.

- Oops.
- He's battling me for control

of the international
software market.

This is just one more attempt

to embarrass me in order
to make way for him.

It's death by
a thousand paper cuts.

This is one paper cut.

Yes. We represent
your chief competitor.

But no, this is not
about paper cuts.

This is about the families
of Mohammed Hazouri,

Amy Newton,
and Sara Fellner.

Okay. All good to know.

But here's our offer.
Are you ready?

$100,000 and
an endowed scholarship

to advance the causes

exemplified by
these fine youths,

and a joint statement
of agreement

saying that
we will more strictly supervise

third-party sales
of our software.

That's why you
brought us in here?

M-May I speak
to you for a moment, please?

Caitlin...

I know you thought you were
being helpful in there,

but you really
shouldn't talk.

Will asked me to.

He... What?

Will asked me to say that,
no matter what their offer was.

Uh, how close are we, Samir?

Uh, why? Is there
somewhere else you need to be?

Yeah.

You know, it's tough
getting cross town.

You need to come to Syria,
Kalinda. You live in boredom.

Our days are filled
with excitement.

You make it sound very tempting.

Two protesters dead
in Damascus today.

Yes, I know. I...

I should have confirmation on
the middleman in three minutes.

You keeping yourself safe there?

Oh, yes.

I have friends in
the Mukhabarat, the Shabeeha,

and the protesters.

I have, uh,
covered my bases well.

Oh, I saw, uh,
Barbara Walters yesterday.

Really?

Yes, uh, she was here
to interview our president.

She had, um...
much better hair

than I thought.

Uh, excuse me, Samir.

- Yes, Eli?
- Did you talk to Stacie Hall?

Uh, it's not a good time.

No. I need to know now.

Did you talk to Stacie Hall
about my ex-wife?

Can we discuss this later?
I'm on with Syria.

No. Kalinda, I want...

- ...right now.
- What's the emergency, Eli?

- Why?
- Why what?

Why did my ex-wife hire Stacie
Hall as a campaign strategist

for her upcoming
State Senate campaign?

Why does my ex-husband care?

I care because
she is my competition,

and she has poached
three of my clients!

So she's good?

Vanessa! She is
out destabilize me,

and that is why she's
offering to represent you.

Oh, really? My mistake.

I thought my campaign
was about me,

but of course
it's about you.

This is not narcissism, Vanessa.

- It's strategy.
- Eli, you turned me down.

I asked you to consult
on my campaign...

Which I did. ...until we got into
one of our postmarital spats,

and we decided
not to work together.

So I sought out Stacie,
that's all.

She didn't seek me out.

Uh-oh.

Eli's mind is at work.

I get it.

I get it. This is to try
and get me back

- on your campaign.
- Oh, my God.

You're telling me
it's just a coincidence

- that you pursued my competitor?
- I'm not telling you anything.

It makes sense. You have
your bin Laden problem...

I didn't know he
was a bin Laden!

And if I'm on your staff,
it looks better.

"See? Her husband doesn't mind

- that she slept with a bin Laden."
- Okay. Thanks for this.

Whenever I feel nostalgic
about our time together, Eli,

you always toss me one of these
bracing little tête-à-têtes.

Okay, okay, wait. Wait.

Uh...

Don't go with the green border.

Why? It's about the environment.

Yeah. Voters don't think
"nature" when they see green.

They think "bad skin."
Look at the McCain campaign.

And that is not
your best side.

You know.

You need warmer lighting.

Gold is good for you.

Stacie thought gold
was too on-the-nose.

Oh, geez!
On-the-nose is good.

You're not trying
to win the Nobel.

Okay.

Thanks, Eli.

Do you really get nostalgic
about our time together?

Good night, Eli.

Here's your problem.

To win, you need to
prove two things:

One, that my client knowingly
sold the software to Syria--

a high bar in itself-- and two,

that he knew that the software
would be used to capture

and kill protesters.

Good luck with that.

You-you got the invoice
in your hand?

Uh, yes. It was, uh,
routed through, uh, Dubai.

Thanks, Samir.
Um, I'll be in touch, okay?

No, no. I will be
in touch with you.

Okay? Just send me an e-mail
with three question marks,

and I will call you. Okay?

It's, um... safer, that way.

Okay, good. Um...

Stay safe, my friend.

And as kind as your
financial offer is,

we'll take our chances in court.

Don't you want to check
with your clients first?

They've given us
permission to reject

any unreasonable amount.

Well, you're not
going to get any more.

I'll make it my life's mission

to get more.

That was odd.

- What was?
- The offer was too lowball.

It's like they're

challenging us to
take it to court.

Hello, Lionel.

I would've called, but
it's been crazy here.

Hello, Will.

Can we go someplace
private?

Sure.

This way.

♪ I like the way
you look at me ♪

♪ Your pretty, pretty eyes...

Things seem to be
falling apart here.

So what's the emergency?

Have you talked to
anybody at the bar?

At the bar? What bar?

The bar's Attorney Compliance
and Disciplinary Board.

Oh. No. Why?

We're pursuing your disbarment.

Wh-What are you talking about?

I'm on the
review pel.

Look, I know I shouldn't
be saying anything,

I've been sworn to
confidentiality, but...

we received anonymous
charges that you took

$45,000 from a
client's account.

And put it back.
15 years ago.

There's no statute of
limitations with disbarment.

We start disciplinary
proceedings tomorrow.

I'm sorry, I just...

I thought you
should know.

Don't say I said anything.

♪ I like the way
you look at me ♪

♪ Your pretty, pretty eyes

♪ I like the way you love me

♪

♪ I like the way
you hold my hand ♪

♪ The way you
make me understand ♪

♪ The way you tell me
that you love me ♪

♪ As I love you.

Uh, before we begin,

I want to take a few minutes
to talk about something

that is happening a mere
100 yards from this courthouse:

Occupy Wall Street!

Yes, these amazing young men
and women are braving

36-degree weather,

with the grit in their eyes
of a shared cause,

and all to challenge the system.

And I, for one, I...

I salute them.

Well, that's all right.
That's all I want to say.

And with that,
we should get started, so...

Do you want me to take
the first witness?

No, I'm good.

And that's you?

Yes.

And you and your sister
were in Syria why?

We were studying Arabic

at the Al-Baath University
in Homs.

And who is this?

My sister... Sara.

She told me to take the camera.

She wanted the video to get out.

And then
what happened?

The officers took us
into custody.

Saydnaya Prison in Homs.

And the al-Mukhabarat
al-'Askariyya...

- That's military intelligence?
- Yes.

They had a transcript
of a cell call

I had with Sara a week earlier,

and he kept repeating it.

And that's why
you were arrested?

Yes. We discussed joining
the protest on the call.

Do you have any idea
how they intercepted this call?

Yes. There was a PC
in the interrogation room,

and he kept reading it
from the screen.

But what does that have
to do with Mr. Gross's company?

Couldn't that have been
any software?

No. When they took me
to my cell,

I saw the logo on the screen.

It was the chess piece logo
from Chumhum.

And that was the last
time you saw Sara alive?

Yes. When the guards looked
through her passport,

they saw a stamp for Israel.

We had gone
a year before,

but my stamp was
too faint to see,

so they let me go,
and they kept her.

You were demonstrating
peacefully, Jimmy? You and Sara?

Yes.

Much like Occupy Wall Street...

Oh, come on.

Objection, Your Honor.

Your Honor, I am merely showing
the victim's intentions.

No, you're merely playing into
His Honor's stated sympathy.

Okay, thank you, both of you.

I think you'll find
that I'm made

of sterner stuff,
Mr. Gardner, Ms...?

- Walsh.
- Walsh,

than to have my sympathies
so easily plucked.

So, any further questions?

No, Your Honor.

Mr. Fellner, you know that
Chumhum has

- many software products that
use the same logo? - Yes.

Business software,
word processors, spreadsheets,

and all are designated to use
the same chess piece logo?

- Yes.
- So couldn't it have been one

of Mr. Gross's other
software products,

say, his word processing
software, for example, that you

- saw on the screen that
you mentioned? - No.

But you aren't certain?

All the software has different
colored chess pieces.

This chess piece was red.

Just so we're clear,
Your Honor, red is

the color of the logo...

Objection, Your Honor.

Do we all get to testify
into the record now?

Okay, we're going to be making
some changes around here,

shuffling a few people around.

Is this about
the failed grand jury?

No, this is about
a lot of things,

not just any one thing.

Some of us weren't consulted on

that judicial bribery
investigation.

We're not gonna
finger-point around here.

No one's to blame, and
everyone's to blame.

So I will be visiting with you
each individually

to discuss new priorities,
all right? Thank you very much.

Too bad that didn't
work out for you.

Go to hell.

I heard you did
well in court today.

I did.

And yet...

The Attorney Compliance
and Disciplinary Board

is pursuing
my disbarment.

Uh... Why?

The $45,000 I borrowed
15 years ago.

No statute of limitations.

My guess is Wendy slipped
the charges to them

as a late hit.

We have to fight it.

Fight what?

I did it.

It was a long time ago,

- but I did it.
- Yes. And we have to point out

their hypocrisy in pursuing you.

One thing I've noticed,
people in judgment

don't care
about their hypocrisy.

Then you throw yourself
at the mercy of the board.

It never ends, does it?

Once they have you
in their grasp...

...they never let go.

Eli.

Diane.

Why are you doing it?

Nora!
There is someone in my office!

Why are you undercutting
me with your wife?

Ex-wife.

You can't just come in here.
You call ahead.

Well, you left one of your socks
last night.

I needed to return it.

I did not. That is not my sock.
What am I, Santa?

Oh, it's mine.

What's wrong with green? There's
nothing wrong with green.

For trees and split
pea soup, nothing.

But for campaign
brochures...

This is not Campaign 101.

Then stop undercutting me
with your wife.

Then do a better job.

Well, your ex-clients seem to
think I'm doing a better job.

Okay. You got me there.
Good-bye.

I need to see you again.

No.

Last night was amazing.

I can still taste
you this morning.

Oh, okay.
Thank you. G... Good-bye.

At least 75 people
are reported dead in Syria

in one of the bloodiest days
since the uprising began.

The violence comes a day after
41 people were killed,

including five women...

Hi, remember me?
Stacie Hall.

Yeah. How are you?

- Good. I have a quick question.
- Okay.

How did you find out
she slept with bin Laden?

Why don't we discuss this
somewhere else?

Not that bin Laden.
Not Osama.

Patric Edelstein
wants an update.

The conference room.

What?

So we are doing this
for Edelstein?

Conference room.

The class rejected
the offer of a scholarship

of $100,000
and a joint statement.

And so now
we're at trial.

- And what are our chances?
- Fifty-fifty.

But our intent
is to use the trial

to apply further pressure
to Neil Gross

and get a more lucrative
settlement.

So I have to ask something
of you.

Okay.

I need you to settle.

We'd rather not have
Congress look into

our foreign sales
of decryption software.

I would imagine
that would work for you,

having Congress look
into Neil Gross.

No. Unfortunately,
on this point,

Neil Gross's interests and
my interests are aligned.

Congress will turn
this into a circus.

This trial is giving
it more prominence.

We don't represent you
in this case.

We represent the class,

the three families
of the dead protesters.

Yes, but I referred
them to you.

I understand that.

But when we agreed
to take their case,

they became our clients,
not you.

I'm sorry.

This isn't...

...really what I wanted.

I'm sorry.

We can't help you here.

Are we going to be
all right here?

I don't know.
He may leave.

That's the breaks.

Mr. Deerfield,
do you have a minute?

Yes. Uh...

Diane Lockhart, right?

Yes. I'd like to talk
to you about Will Gardner.

My name is Kassim Al-Khoury.

I'm a software wholesaler,
working out of Dubai.

And you've had dealings
with Mr. Gross's company?

Yes. We admire you

greatly, Mr. Gross.

I've read your
biography three times.

And where did you have dealings
with Mr. Gross's company?

In Dubai, at the yearly
technology trade show.

The trade show colloquially
referred to as

"The Wiretapper's Ball"?

Yes. Various Western companies
sell their wares there.

And many totalitarian
governments shop there

for spy tech and
data-mining software?

Yes. but also corporations
who want to encourage

employee productivity.

Also law enforcement...

Oh, sorry.

Please continue.

We can take a break,
Your Honor.

No, no, no, no.
No, it's nothing.

Over lunch, I went to offer
moral support

to Occupy Wall Street.

And it's because
of the pepper spray.

At the Wiretapper's Ball,

you bought some of Mr. Gross's
CoursePoint software?

Yes.

And you sold it
to representatives of Syria?

Yes.

And this was because
Chumhum itself

couldn't sell software
to the Syrians?

Yes, the American trade embargo
required using a middleman.

That is me.

And this is, in fact,
your invoice,

selling CoursePoint
to the Syrians?

Yes, it is.

And did Chumhum know you were
reselling software to Syria?

Oh, yes. I sent the
invoices to them as well.

No further questions.

I, um, Ms. Walsh,

do you have
any questions?

Yes, Your Honor.

You hold a grudge

against Mr. Gross's firm,
don't you?

No. What do you mean?

I mean, that you sued Mr. Gross
for nonpayment of debt.

No. We had a disagreement over
Euro-to-dollar conversions.

Well, didn't Mr. Gross's company
refuse to pay you

precisely because
you were selling

spy software
to Middle Eastern regimes?

No, that is not true.

No further questions,
Your Honor,

but we would like to recall
Jimmy Fellner.

Why are you suing,
Jimmy?

Because my sister's dead,
and she doesn't have to be.

Sorry.

Ignore me.

And that's why everyone
in this class action

- is suing, right?
- Yes.

That's your sister?

Yes.

And who's this?

It looks like my sister,

but I've never seen
that photo before.

But it would appear
to be your sister.

- Yes, where was it taken?
- We just got this photo

from a Syrian
rebellion Web site.

It was taken three days ago.

Objection, Your Honor.

Why would you object?

We've just given
your client good news.

His sister is alive.

We have no way to confirm

the providence of this.

- Oh, my God.
- Jimmy,

you yourself said
that you're suing

because
your sister is dead.

Well, this is evidence
that she's alive.

Mr. Will Gardner,

one of the objectives of
the State Bar Disciplinary Board

is to maintain the honor
and integrity

of the practice of the law

and to promote the general
welfare of the members thereof.

To this purpose, we have
collected sufficient evidence

regarding the theft of $45,000
we believe

warrants disbarment
proceedings.

Do you understand?

Yes.

In all matters,

this board attempts
to show deference

to any calls for leniency.

It has come to our attention

that you have been responsible
for the establishment

of the pro bono department
in your firm.

At a time when most firms

are curtailing their
pro bono efforts,

it is heartening to see
that Lockhart & Gardner

is stepping those efforts
up, at your direction.

For this reason,

we would like to offer you
the option of suspension.

Six months probation.

No cases, no clients,

no entering a courtroom
except as a private citizen.

And if I decline?

Then we proceed
to a disbarment hearing.

And the determination
of this panel

will be permanent.

We have to;
We have to drop the suit.

That's exactly what
the other side wants.

I don't want anything out
there that could jeopardize

- my sister's life.
- You're being irrational.

What if it were Amy?

You'd still be thinking
about monetary damages?

If we walk away, this company
goes about its business,

and who's to say there's
not another Amy or Sara

in the future?

- That's exactly right.
- Which is why...

The majority of
the class rules.

Yes, but we put Kalinda on
finding out more about Sara.

Good, I'm on it.

You talked to the board?

What did they say?

Six months suspension.

How long do you have?

They need a
decision tomorrow.

Fight it, Will.

Six months away from the law
will kill you.

The photo of
Sara was on the Web site

of a blogger who goes
by Pink Damascus.

A lesbian activist chronicling
the protests in Syria.

She's been a huge thorn
in the side of the Assad regime.

Can you find her?
If we know who took

the picture,
we can find Sara.

I have some ideas.

Caitlin?

Has Viola asked you
to join her firm?

Yes.

I said no.

Yes, just so you know,

other firms will try
to distract you

by asking you
to join them.

It means nothing.

They never trust you
if they poach you.

It's best to
stay loyal.

I wasn't
taking it seriously.

I know.

Am I doing well here?

You are.

Very well.

Good.

Thank you.

This is first-rate

idiocy!

Is that why you brought us
in here, Eli, to insult me?

You slept with a bin Laden;
You can't just ignore that.

- How do you know we're ignoring it?
- You grilled Kalinda

on how she figured it out.

You can't just close off
those channels.

Hm, you're right, Vanessa.

His left vein in
his temple pulsates

- when he gets angry.
- It won't work.

If Kalinda figured it out,
it's only a matter of time

- before it becomes public.
- So,

what's your suggestion?

Own it.

Be the one
to bring it forward.

Cloak it in
open-mindedness.

Pushing back against
anti-Islamic prejudices.

It's only a name.

Our president had
the same middle name

as a genocidal dictator,
and we still elected him.

This guy, your, um,
hotel financier,

the one you slept with
while we were married...

- Eli.
- What? I'm being

just as accurate
as the press will be.

You know, this is getting
messy; maybe I should

- just back off.
- No, Stacie, give us

a minute.
Sure. Oh, there my sock is.

So, who are you obsessed with,
her or me?

No one.

I'm just helping.

I don't like her hurting you.

Okay, do me a favor.

Either stop caring

or officially get on board.

So, Cary, how's it hanging?

I need you to take
a step back from court

and do some
child support enforcement.

You need me to?

Yeah.

We were both

on that judicial
bribery investigation.

- It wasn't just me.
- This is what Peter needs.

So it's Peter, not you.

It's what the office needs.

And you're just gonna
go along with it. Right?

You knew I was following
Wendy Scott-Carr's orders,

but you don't give a damn.

- Dana...
- No.

You don't get
to say it like that.

No, Mr. Agos, you don't.

It won't be very long...

Good-bye.

What does that mean?

Yes, I see the photo of Sara,

but I cannot help.

It could have been taken
anywhere in Syria.

And what about the blog
where it surfaced?

Can you...
can you help us find Pink Damascus?

Samir?

Are you there?

Samir?

I cannot stay here long.

I understand.

Uh, yes, yes,

we know this Web site.

No one really knows
where this Pink Damascus is.

If you learn a neighborhood,
I will keep trying.

I have to go.

I can't help.

- That's not technically true.
- I thought I was getting

- and update from Will Gardner.
- Pink Damascus has a Sleuthway account, sir,

and if we could
just contact her...

Our privacy policy is
the cornerstone of my company.

If it got out that I released
a user's confidential information...

Better than if it got out
that you prioritized

company policy over the life
of a 23-year-old girl.

Yeah?

Can I help you?

I'm sorry.

I think I got the wrong person.

Who did you think I was?

A lesbian blogger from Syria.

Pink Damascus?

Sorry to disappoint.

Have you heard of her?

Yeah, you know,
I keep up with the news.

Yeah, imagine the public uproar

if it were revealed
that Pink Damascus is actually

a 30-something-year-old guy
living in Kansas,

pretending.

Where'd you come up with Kansas?

Your Rock Chalk pillow,
the KU cheer.

You know,

you could face
felony fraud charges.

That's five to eight years
in federal prison.

You're lying.

I work for a law firm.

Try me.

What do you want?

He only had an IP address

for the person who
sent him the photo.

"He"?

Yeah, imagine that.

Misrepresenting himself
on the Internet.

I traced the
IP address to Homs.

An Internet cafe in
the Al-Sinaa district.

Good, you'll pass this
on to your contact in Syria?

Yeah.

You wanted to discuss
the Neil Gross questioning?

Yeah.

No.

You...

- want me to...
- No, stay.

Close the door a second.

I didn't tell you about the
grand jury investigation before,

and that was a mistake.

And you're safe.

Yes.

I mean, it's moved to
a possible disbarment,

and I've been given a choice.

Wait, what?

The Disciplinary Board is
looking into disbarring me.

Oh, my God.

- Will...
- It's okay.

It's just... I'm
used to it now.

Funny.

Anyway, I've been
given a choice.

Fight disbarment or take

- a six-month suspension. - You can't;
you don't deserve to be disbarred.

I do deserve to be disbarred.

I took money from
a client's account.

- 15 years ago.
- But I did it.

And you know what?

The only reason I'm
being offered leniency

is because of our...

It's because of our
pro bono program.

Something I fought

- tooth and nail.
- You didn't.

I did.

I'm taking the
six month suspension.

I did wrong.

I should face
the consequences.

There it is.

I've just decided, thank you.

You're giving up the law
for six months?

Yeah.

Weird, huh?

I can't imagine it.

You did for over a decade.

Yes.

Okay, I better tell someone.

Okay, then you'll close
out the Neil Gross case,

and I'll reassign your other
cases to the partners.

How soon can you get me
a rundown?

- End of the day.
- Good.

You won't be able
to come into the office

unless it's related
to handing off cases

or the business
of the firm.

I'll file the papers
with the bar

about the firm's
name change.

Lockhart & Associates
seems simplest.

Unless you have
any objections.

So, we're done.

For now.

You'll still have a place
when you come back.

Technology doesn't take sides.

Is that how you
rationalize doing business

- with autocratic regimes?
- Objection.

Argumentative.

Yes, sustained.

Mr. Gross,

does your company sell to the
governments of Saudi Arabia

and Bahrain?

You mean, allies of the United
States with whom we have

full diplomatic
and trade relations?

Yes, we do.

We never discussed this
line of questioning.

Your social networking Web site,
Chumhum--

did you not turn over
the addresses

of Chinese dissidents
to the Beijing...?

Objection.
Relevance.

Mr. Gross's lack of compunction
in dealing with regimes

that torture and kill
their own people,

not to mention Amy Newton,

Sara Fellner,
Mohammed Hazouri...

Your Honor, I understand where
your sympathies lie...

Ms. Walsh, stop that, please.

I know you're trying
to drive a theme to help you

in your appeal,
but don't do it at my expense.

- Your Honor, I wasn't.
- You were, ma'am.

And I don't mean to fly off
the handle here,

but I am being objective.

So, objection...

sustained.

Let's talk about CoursePoint,
Mr. Gross.

It emits a ping
to your central servers

when it's in use, does it not?

Kind of a homing signal?

Again, relevance.
If Mr. Gardner is so curious

about the nuts and bolts
of our program,

I recommend that he go

to the software convention
in Las Vegas next month.

Regardless of how the program
was obtained, Your Honor,

how the program operates
is precisely

what attracts
it to users.

Your logic is... logical.

Your objection is overruled,
Ms. Walsh.

Uh, yes.

When the software
is in use,

it interfaces with
our server.

So you are able
to identify when and where

CoursePoint is active?

Yes, we are.

Well, then wouldn't it follow
that you had full knowledge

that your product
was being used

by the Syrian
government?

I've never denied that.

But as I have maintained,
repeatedly,

neither I nor my company
provided it to them.

Can you tell if those pings

were being sent
from the city of Homs?

Objection.
Beyond irrelevant.

If you wanted to, Mr. Gross,

you could tell where
my client's sister

was being held right now.

- That doesn't even make sense!
- It does if she's being held

in the same place Mr. Gross's
program is being used!

- Objection, Your Honor!
- And I sustain

Ms. Walsh's objections.

Mostly good cross.

Thank you.

You tried to take
Neil Gross out at the knees.

Only because no one else has.

Be smart, Will.

Don't argue from passion--
it clouds your thinking.

You think I've forgotten
about the case?

That I'm suddenly hell-bent
on finding Sara?

I think you're trying
to hit a home run

with your last at bat.

It's just an observation.

I'd love nothing more
than to be proven wrong.

I don't have much time
to prove anything.

- Yes.
- Is that a yes-yes,

or an I-really-don't-want-to-

but-my-ex-wife-has-
worn-me-down yes?

Does it make any difference?

Yes, I will consult
on your campaign.

And yes, I will even take my
marching orders from Stacie.

Eli, I don't want you
if you don't want to.

Okay, okay, okay, first
lesson about being

an elected official: when
you get what you want...

shut up!

What?

I miss arguing with you.

Well, I'm sure we'll now have
plenty of opportunities

to relive those
glorious moments.

I'll send over
the latest budget.

You've always been good
about finding the fat.

And I have some position papers
I'd like you to mark up.

Mm-hmm. Well, you know
where to find me.

Win or lose, this'll be nice.

Diane, you needed something?

Oh, yes.

Will talked to you
about his decision?

He did.

Good.
I'm reassigning his cases.

I need you to take
this one solo.

Will and I would like
to keep it under the radar.

Who's the client?

Kalinda.

It's primarily a tax case.

Kalinda has a variety
of complications,

some business, some personal.

Several of which began
before she joined the firm.

I appreciate
your confidence,

but I would think a tax lawyer
might be more qualified.

It's past what a tax lawyer
can do, which is why

I was handling it, and why
we want you to take over.

You and Kalinda should talk
as soon as possible.

They are holding her
in an empty...

Al-Sinaa district.

Samir, you cut out.
Can you please repeat again?

They are holding her in an empty
school in the Al-Sinaa district.

They use these abandoned
buildings

instead of prisons
to hold people.

It makes it a lot harder to find
someone you are looking for.

And you're absolutely sure
she's there?

As sure as it is possible.

I might be able
to get her out,

but I will need
50,000 U.S. dollars.

To pay a bribe?

I will handle it, okay?

But there's just
about four hours,

so I need the money
immediately.

We'll wire it.

Samir, tell us where
to wire it.

Okay, you want to wire it

...central bank...

Did you get that?

Samir?

Hello?

I know how we're going
to win this case.

How?

Tech support.

Dinesh Rekhi.

I work on the Chumhum help desk.

But to my customers, I'm Roger.

Have you received calls
from users

seeking help
with CoursePoint?

Yes. It's a complex program,
and there's still

a bug or two to be worked out.
Sorry, Mr. Gross,

but all programs
have bugs.

And how many calls have
you received since March 2011,

when the Syrian
uprising began?

Hundreds.

Did any of those
calls come

from customers in Syria?

Yes.

And who were those customers?

Government users
from the Ministry of the Interior.

The agency that oversees
Syrian security forces?

I don't know.
I just answer the phones.

How can you know
for certain who's calling?

Every user who calls must
identify their license number.

It's part of the user agreement.

So Syrian government
agencies bought the software

and registered it,
just like any other honest user?

It appears so.

But they couldn't use it
without your help.

Yes.

So, Chumhum is helping
the Syrian government arrest

and torture
protesters.

Your Honor,
I'd like to request a recess

to confer
with plaintiff counsel.

Harmony and concord
between the two sides.

I'm inspired.

They have her.

Sara?

Greetings from Ramstein
Air Base.

It's my first trip to Germany.

You look like hell.

You look perfect.

Samir?

Hello?

Salaam alaikum.

Is Samir available?

No.

He's not here.

I just wanted
to let him know that...

I said he's not here.

Do you know
when he might be back?

Samir is gone.

I-I'm sorry.

We cannot talk any more.

Do not call again.

At least four
people have been killed

after army troops stormed
the town of Talkalakh

in western Syria.

According to residents,
the town is under lockdown

with government security...

Burning the midnight oil
even on your last day?

I thought I could squeeze out
one last billable hour.

Any idea what
you're gonna do?

Maybe write a rock opera?

There hasn't been a decent one
since The Wall.

I'm sure it'll be great.

I don't think Pink Floyd
has anything to worry about.

Will, if there's
anything you need...

I'm good.

But thanks.

Follow Diane's lead, Alicia.

You'll do fine.
