The Good Wife (2009–2016): Season 3, Episode 8 - Death Row Tip - full transcript

Hey, you shoot when I say you can...

What is your name?
- Ricky Packer.

Twenty-nine days.

Could you include the question
in the answer, you know?

Uh, yeah, yeah.
Uh, my name is Ricky Packer.

And I have 29 days left to live.

Been reading a lot of the Bible. Job.

"When I lie down, I think,
'How long before I get up?"'

Yes. Camus says,
"Fate is not in man, but around him."

What is your crime, please?

The state says "double homicide."



But I don't even think
they believe that.

They had some bodies
they needed to put on someone.

You were saying
before I switched on the camera

about the authorities...
What is it you were saying?

Oh, yeah, yeah. I told the guards
about this murder that I heard about,

Almighty Vice Lords' payback
on 19th.

There's a dead body buried up there
in Douglas Park. You think they care?

Why don't they care?
- That means more work.

They go dig up some gangbanger's
body, what are they gonna do, huh?

They gonna go find the killer?

You got here fast.

Yeah, it's called driving.

What did you do,
stop for hamburgers?

So, what is it, gang-related?



Yep, his tip was accurate.

A tip from death row. Go figure.

John Doe. Buried six months.

One other thing,
Mr. Deputy State's Attorney.

- Yeah?
- You missed a button.

- Thank you, ASA Lodge.
- Mm-hm.

Do we know his colors?

- 22nd Disciple.
- Almighty Vice Lords reprisal?

That's the thinking. Oddly enough,
that's not why you're here.

They dug up someone else.

- A citizen?
- With very expensive taste.

Ed says those
are Christian Louboutin shoes.

- Ed knows that?
- The purse still had $300 cash in it.

Name on the driver's license
was Adrianne Iver,

a missing person
for six months now.

And guess what else
we found in her purse?

Her boyfriend's number.

- How long?
They'll be here in 20 minutes.

- So, what do I do?
Just what they ask.

You will be processed,
photographed and fingerprinted.

They will take away all your clothes

and supply you with a Department
of Corrections jumpsuit.

Our hope is you'll get bail.

You have ties to the community
and the evidence is circumstantial.

I loved her.

I mean, we argued, but I loved her.

I didn't report her missing

because Adrianne said
she was going back to Canada.

Alicia. It's important.

Okay, the key thing here
is to let us do our job.

- They can't...
- What's that about?

He's being charged
with murdering his girlfriend.

- What's important?
- My computer's acting up again.

Yeah, I know
that doesn't quite sound as important.

Really?

I need you in this meeting too.

Okay, I have a meeting.
You've gotta go.

You should've told Mom no.

ELl:
I did tell her no.

That's not what she said.

She said everything was all right
for her to run.

Why is it that every other kid knows
about computers except you?

Your mom's a politician now.

She's adapting the truth
for her needs.

You know who gets hurt in this?
The children.

They'll talk about your divorce and how
I'm the product of a broken home.

And how I'm dating a communist.

- Bob's a communist?
- Ben.

And I broke up with him.

This is a new one. Hal.

Do you date anyone
with more than one syllable?

It makes our conversations
very confusing.

Didn't I say I had a meeting?

- Tell Mom not to run.
- You tell her.

- She'll listen to you. I'm not...
- Hey, old man. How you doing?

So I gotta head off
to meet the candidate.

- Where are we?
- A hiccup.

Actually, more than a hiccup.

You said he was clean, Eli.

I wanna run him for lower office
and gear up for the 2016 presidential.

He was. Financials are healthy,
no affairs, good to his kids.

Wow, you're bringing in Saint Alicia.
This must be serious.

More than serious.
We're dealing with the ridicule factor.

- Is that a picture?
- Mm-hm.

Oh, that's something else.

Well, Giuliani dressed up
in women's clothes.

- He survived that.
- This is different.

Okay. All right. What do you need?

Bring him in.
We'll talk how to handle it.

- Will she be here?
- Alicia. Yes, I will be in the meeting.

He's got kids. He'll wanna know
how this will impact his kids.

- Understandable.
- Think we can survive it?

I think if we're lucky.

So, what's going on here?
Heard you're under investigation.

You heard
we're under investigation?

I heard
the firm's under investigation.

Look, I don't want
to drag my candidate in here

and have this firm
be under indictment.

No, uh, we're good.

We're growing
and, uh, we're blooming.

- Aren't we good?
- Yes, better than ever.

A rumor is often a sign
of jealous competitors.

Hello.

- Hi.
- We haven't met.

- ASA Dana Lodge.
- Kalinda Sharma.

I was just trying to...

Sneak the Adrianne Iver
crime scene photos?

- Wanna see?
- Sure.

Adrianne Iver,
a 28-year-old flight attendant,

quit her job
after her boyfriend proposed.

Oh, wait, you represent her boyfriend,
don't you? Tom LaVere?

Why, yes, we do.

Huh. What a coincidence.

They fought, Adrianne tried to leave.
That didn't end well.

Tom shot her
with his Walther P99 handgun.

Which was never recovered.

Yes, so few criminals make it easy
for us these days.

Mr. LaVere buried the body in a dirt lot
near Douglas Park six months ago,

far from prying eyes.

And as luck would have it,
this very same lot was chosen

by an Almighty Vice Lord
to bury a 22nd Disciple.

So when we dug up one,
we dug up the other.

So you and Cary?

- Me and Cary?
- You and Cary.

I don't think there is a me and Cary.

- My mistake.
- Hmm.

Now, uh, Mr. LaVere, our client,

he was worried
about Miss Iver's safety.

They were burglarized
the week prior,

so he gave her his handgun
for protection,

and it was the same handgun that
she kept in her glove compartment.

- Really?
- Yeah.

So here's just another
possible scenario.

Miss Iver was driving when she came
across a gangland slaying.

Oh, it happens all the time.

She reached
into the glove compartment

for the Walther P99
when she was stopped

by your Almighty Vice Lord,
who took the gun...

And shot her with her own gun?

So in your scenario,
what happened to her car?

Gone.
Taken by the killers to a chop shop.

These are two connected murders.

You solve this,
you'll know who killed Adrianne Iver.

Only problem: We solved this murder.
A gang sweep.

Maurice Johnson, a.k.a. AKA.

Yeah, it makes things hard
when their a.k.a. S are AKA.

Hmm. What did he do, confess?

We ask that Mr. Johnson be tried
as an adult, Your Honor.

Your Honor,
Maurice has come forward on his own.

He has confessed to this homicide

exactly because he wants
to remake his life.

- So we would hope that the state...
- You don't believe him?

I tend not to believe
14-year-old lieutenants who confess,

but maybe that's just me.

Well, you bring me proof
of the opposite, I'm all ears.

But we closed two murders.

AKA killed
the 22nd Disciple banger.

Tom LaVere killed his girlfriend.

Where do I bring the proof?

Where?
Yeah.

Do you have a card?

Yeah, sure, Kalinda. Here.

And this is my cell, so anytime.

Thanks.

We have a problem.

- They think they've resolved it.
- Got it. We're with the filmmaker now.

So how did the police get involved?

You see,
I sent the footage to the police.

I did not think they would pursue it.

They dug up two bodies.

Yes, I know. It is now part
of my documentary. Quite exciting.

Do you plan
to interview Ricky Packer again?

Unfortunately, they have now
limited access to death row.

Did he say anything more
about this murder, Andre?

Anything more in your footage?

He did. I showed it to the police,
but, uh, they are uninterested now.

- Can we see it?
- Of course.

Well, I interviewed Mr. Packer again
after they found the body.

It is always good
to go with my assistant.

He likes the, uh, pretty women.

You know
who killed him, who killed this man?

Yeah,
but why am I gonna help the cops?

Why would you not?

Look, man, the cops don't care
if they got the wrong one.

Vice Lords are gonna do
what they always do,

set up some wannabe gangsta,
go do a juvie rap.

The cops will be happy.

And that was the end.
No more interviews.

He didn't say who did it?

Great. The only one
who can help our client

is being executed in 36 hours.

I can't do this. I can't go back to jail.

That was just the bail hearing.

Tom, listen to me,
we have a lot of options.

I can't last till trial.
I can't wait six months.

Let's go.
Listen to me.

We are not delaying this to trial.
We're doing everything we can, okay?

Time's up.

Is that all you have, Mr. Coyne?

That is only part of what we have,
Your Honors.

Mr. Packer will be executed
in approximately 30 hours,

and we ask that you look carefully

at the legal mistakes made
by the trial judge.

Look again at the legal mistakes.

Yes, if it pleases the court.

We'll take that under advisement.

You here to help?

- It's a bit more complicated than that.
- Try me.

We need to get to Ricky Packer
before he's executed.

We think he can help us on a case.

- You kidding?
- No, I'm afraid not.

- Can you get us in?
- We can't get in to him.

Unless the judges hear our appeal,
he's in 24-hour lockdown.

You have another appeal
coming up?

Lack of mitigation at trial.
Yeah. Why?

So we have
the humanitarian appeal,

and not much time. Alicia, you've dealt
with Judge Glendon before.

Yes.
He has the swing vote on the court.

He sided with us
on another death-row appeal.

He had a religious conversion.
There might be an opening.

And we're scouring Ricky Packer's life
for any shred of humanitarian appeal.

Alicia, work with them,
and Lockhart Gardner, remember,

we win this appeal,
we question Ricky Packer.

And that helps our client?

Packer helps us
find Adrianne Iver's murderer.

- It's like a Rube Goldberg defense.
- Well, it'll do until we have better.

So we will work
a two-prong strategy.

Kalinda,
anything you can get independently

on who killed
this 22nd Disciple victim...

I have access to the state's attorney's
office again, I'll see what I can get.

Good.
And, again, the immediate push

has to be on this appeal.

We lose Packer, we lose the key
to the real murderer.

- Alicia, do you have a moment?
Sure.

Sorry to make that sound
so boss-like.

No. It's been hard to get away.

It has.

Diane's been eyeing us
like we're a lawsuit waiting to happen.

It's getting a bit complicated, isn't it?

It is.

Do we need to pause?

Do you wanna pause?

I'm afraid even if we say we will,
we won't.

That sounds right.

- This is not why I called you in here.
- I know.

It's like Grand Central Station,
isn't it?

Go ahead. We'll talk later.

What does Peter know?

About us?

Uh, I don't think anything,
but that's never mattered to him.

- Why?
- No reason.

Did he talk to you?

No.

Look, I appreciate that you guys
have to do your due diligence here,

but, uh, I'm not a ticking time bomb.

I don't have an intern.

I love my wife. I love my kids.

Mrs. Florrick, hello. Robert Mulvey.

How's your husband?

He's very well, thank you, sir.

So you're here to, uh, hand-hold me
through this scandal?

Anything you need.

Do I need a stiff drink?

- You guys had me scared.
- Is that you, sir?

Yeah, but about ten years ago.
Winter break.

You guys are joking, right?

It's the ridicule factor, sir,
like Anthony Weiner.

Yeah, but Anthony Weiner
took his clothes off

and photographed himself
for his constituents.

- This is...
- You fellating Santa.

I have to be blunt, sir, because that's
how TMZ is gonna report it,

Fox is gonna repeat it,
and Jon Stewart is gonna finish it.

"Here Cums Santa."

Is it possible
you were changing a light bulb?

What, between his legs?

Look, it was a joke.
I was a college kid...

Yes, but it's a joke
about you fellating Santa.

And Santa's expression
does not help.

What do you think?

I think...

You have the advantage
of releasing it yourself

and taking some of the sting away,

which is why
you should take this seriously.

- You think we should release it?
ELl: It's coming out either way.

Only thing you can control
is when and what it means.

- What it means?
- You're the Facebook generation, sir.

Every candidate under 40
has some dumb photo

from some dumb college buddy.

Krystal Ball and the reindeer nose?

- Well, she lost.
ELl: Yes.

But she didn't release it. You will.

And my kids, my wife, seeing this.

Go talk to them
and make them understand.

I need to think about this.

Uh, one more thing, sir,
are there any more photos out there?

- Of this?
- No. Of you, uh,

in front of other statues?

Funny college stunts
sometimes get repeated.

Thank you, sir. I'm sorry.

It ain't ever easy, is it?

So, what, do you work here now?

No, they're just having trouble
with their computers.

They spend like $85,000 on IT
when I can just do it in a few hours.

Humble much?

To be accurate, that was me
making fun of the law firm,

not me, you know, taking credit...

- Are you still talking? You're boring me.
- Heh.

ELl:
Hello.

Marissa, do you have a moment?

Dad. I do. In a moment.

Why don't you let Zach do his work?

I'm letting Zach do his work.
He can multitask.

- See?
- I'm multitasking.

He's watching us.

Act like I said something
really shocking.

That's terrible.

I've done bad things.

Not as bad
as the things done to me.

It was a double homicide.

Ricky Packer picked up two 14-year-old
girls from a shopping mall,

raped them over three days,
then slit their throats.

Look, we know he's not a saint.
All we need is mitigation.

It's just...

My daughter's their age.

I know.

It's our job.

Grew up on 24th.

Tough neighborhood.

- What do you got?
- He was born with neuroblastoma,

a syndrome requiring a dozen
painful surgeries before the age of 5.

That's good. We can build on that.

And his mother has not visited him
in prison.

Bad and painful childhood,
absentee mom.

We can work with that.

We need some photos
of sadness, squalor.

My mom, she's always talking
about redemption, right?

But redemption from what?

From being a man?

Let's go visit the mom.

You called?

I did call.

I need something.

Footage from a blue-light camera.

Now, why would you want access
to our anti-gang cameras?

Just one in particular.

Nineteenth and Troy.

We have the killer.

No, you don't.

Okay, I give you access,
you give me access.

To what?

Your boss, Will Gardner.

- What do you need?
- Access.

- Why?
- We're investigating him.

For what?

I don't think I could do that.

Okay, Kalinda,
I know how you work.

You get what you want
without giving back,

and that's just not
gonna happen here.

You want your back scratched.

I have an itch.

Okay.

What do you need?

He had a friend, a judge. Baxter.

We need to know their relationship.

- Get me the blue-light camera.
- The back story on Will.

I asked first.

- Where did you get that jacket?
- I don't know.

- Can I look at the label?
- Sure.

- Nice.
- Thanks.

It breathes.

This is the address?

Yeah, not much squalor.

Thank you for seeing us.

We need to offer evidence
of mitigation,

show that your son's crimes
were results of...

Um, outside causes,
difficulty in childhood, his upbringing.

I'm sorry. I just...

It's hard.

Father Jim got all the neighbors
together, and that helps.

Do you have any pictures
of Ricky as a child?

We wanna show the judges
how he grew up.

Of course.

So you haven't seen your son
in prison?

No, he won't let me.

I keep writing every week,
but he won't.

We read that Ricky had a lot
of illnesses as a child.

- Illnesses?
- Yes. Operations.

Oh, no,
that was his brother Michael.

He's in New York now.

On Wall Street.
He's broken up about this.

Um, what about school?
Did he have problems in school?

Oh, yes.
Michael was always the weakest.

No. Ricky.

Oh. No, Ricky was fine.

We were able to get him
into a program at Saint Matthew's.

There's Ricky.

That's a lot of presents.

Well, we wanted them
to have Christmases we never had.

Would you excuse me?

We can always say
he was too spoiled.

She's a saint. And to have that son,
I don't understand it.

Whatever he wanted,
she was there.

You think he really did it?
He killed those two girls?

- Why?
- He liked doing mean things.

It was fun for him.

Is there anything you can say
to help the court at all,

anything that could save his life?

He shouldn't be killed.

That was a wash.

Do you believe that?

What?

That no matter who he is, no matter
what he did, he shouldn't be killed?

Yeah, don't you?

I saw those photos.

Those girls were my daughter's age.

They don't exist anymore.

And to get that call.

To spend every night...

thinking about your daughter's
last breath.

He raped...

Did you see what he did
to their bodies?

- But we don't execute him.
- Why not?

Because it would be wrong.

What day are you looking for?
- June 15th.

The day Adrianne Iver disappeared.

Okay.

There you go.
Corner of 19th and Troy.

Okay.

There he is. That's the victim, right?
That's what he was wearing?

Uh, yeah. That's his corner.

Okay,
and that's the night Miss Iver died.

My guess is there's someone else
on that corner the next night.

You wanna see the next night?

If you'd be so kind.

You know anything about Gardner's
relationship with Judge Baxter?

They had a falling out.

He was a corrupt judge.
Will got him thrown off the bench.

No. Our office got him thrown off
the bench. Gardner didn't do crap.

There.

- That's the next night?
- It is.

You have the wrong man, Dana.

It was a corner fight,
and he took the corner.

That's why he killed the 22nd Disciple,
so he could take the corner.

My guess is that man
killed Adrianne Iver too.

You need to find that man.

Your Honors,
Ricky Packer is a changed man.

His rehabilitation is a testament
to the dignity of the human spirit,

even in the face of great adversity.

We ask that you show mercy
and compassion

by sparing his life and granting...

- I'm so sorry, ma'am.
- It's all right.

- This is good?
- Yes, thank you.

Your Honors, Mr. Packer's
defense attorney never availed himself

of mitigation witnesses
during the penalty phase of the trial.

And as you can see,
there are many people here

who would speak
to Mr. Packer's fine character.

He has changed in prison,
Your Honors.

He had an unfortunate upbringing,

none of the opportunities
that you or I have had.

Just listen to his mother.

She will speak
to how hard it was for Ricky

growing up in their tough
South Side neighborhood.

How she neglected Ricky as a child,

and even now, how she has not seen
her son in prison.

Imagine being a child
in the inner city with no hope...

I've known Ricky Packer all his life.
I was there at his baptism.

I'm here to say
that Ricky Packer's a good person.

He's a redeemable person.

He has been led astray,

and I take it as my own personal failing
that I didn't lead him back.

He's not a good person.

No. I said what I said
so he wouldn't be killed.

And it's all right to do that?

Nothing is very clean.

The older I get,
the more I realize that.

What if...?

What if it meant releasing him?

Then we would be having
another conversation.

Looks like it worked.

Well, they're considering the appeal.

We have a 24-hour extension
and access to Ricky Packer.

So Alicia... Where is Alicia?

Oh, I need you to get to Indiana.

Andre says Ricky Packer
likes talking with women,

so you talk with Ricky,
and we'll work the appeal.

All right, let's get going.
Work on the appeal.

Alicia, are you all right doing this,
going to him?

I'm all right doing this. It's my job.

Okay. Then head out.

Just doing homework.
Jennifer's coming over later.

- For tutoring.
- Okay. Uh, I already talked to Zach,

but I'm working on this case, and I
don't know what time I'll be home.

So Dad is gonna come and pick you up
and take you to his place, all right?

- We can take care of ourselves, Mom.
- No, I already talked to Dad.

And lock the door, okay, Grace?

I know sometimes you forget,
but just do it.

Okay. Is everything all right?

I think so.

You come straight home
from school every day?

Mom, you're getting weird.
- I know.

I love you. Bye.

Eli Gold and Mickey Gunn.

I think that's the third sign
of the apocalypse,

you guys working together.

But only on something
we truly believe in.

- Yeah.
- You know Robert Mulvey?

The ex-congressman.

The one that flipped
from Republican to Democrat.

I hear he's looking for a campaign
he can win, isn't he?

Mickey represents him.

And we want to offer you a story.

- About him?
- About Mickey.

It's a sort of think piece about
the next generation of candidates.

Really?
You got a headline for me too?

Your sweat's showing, guys.

We have a picture.

It's not as bad as Anthony Weiner,
but in our opinion,

it encapsulates the problems
of the Facebook-era candidate.

He slept with a campaign worker?

- That's him? That's Robert Mulvey?
- It is.

You wanna hang a lantern
on your problem?

Hang a lantern on what?

This has nothing to do
with Mulvey's policy.

Has nothing to do with his morals.

Really? Servicing Santa
is not about his morals?

It ain't the real Santa. It's a statue.

And there is no real Santa,
so he wouldn't have a penis.

Look, the real story here
is Mickey Gunn

and how he deals with a photo
that is, admittedly, ridiculous,

but it's also irrelevant
to Mulvey's character.

I'm fine. You wanna give me something,
give me something.

But why don't you
put the candidate on?

We'll see what we can do.

Would you excuse me a moment?

So you wanna cancel dinner?

- You know me, flighty.
Want something to drink?

Where are you, Marissa?

Getting computer advice, Dad.
I'll call you later.

Uh...

How long have your parents
lived apart?

L... What do you mean?

Don't worry. My dad told me.

- When did they split up?
About five months ago.

I'll give you tips on how to use it.

Parents going through divorce
are so guilty.

That's my dad, come pick me up.

Zach?

- Oh, hello.
- Grandma.

Peter had to work today,
so he asked me to look in on you.

- Hello.
- Hello. I'm Marissa.

- Are you the new tutor?
- No. I'm Eli Gold's daughter.

Oh, really.

And, uh, what are we doing here?

What are we doing here, Zach?

I was just showing her how
to change her dad's computer settings.

Grace, Grandma's here.

Is Grace here?

I thought you were out there trying
to save the world.

I was. Now I'm here.

- You look serious.
- An ASA in Peter Florrick's office

is asking about your relationship
with Judge Baxter.

Are you in trouble?

I'm in something.
I don't know what I'm in.

- Who is the ASA?
- Dana Lodge.

I think she's working with Cary.

Is this coming from Peter Florrick?

I think it is.

So it's about his wife?

I don't know.
I don't know anything anymore.

I used to be able
to read the political tea leaves.

Now I can barely tell why people
say hello to me in the morning.

Then use me.

I thought you were an island
these days.

Hmm, no man is an island.

I don't know, Kalinda, this one is tough.
They're coming for me.

Did you pay off Baxter?

No. But I think I know
why they think I did.

Okay, then ask for my help.

I feel like hugging you.

No, just...

Just ask for my help.

- You okay?
- I will be.

You need something?

You discussed with Andre Bergson,
the filmmaker, a murder.

A buried body.

A man becomes very popular
in his last hours of life.

You said you know who killed him.

What's your name?

Alicia Florrick.

Andre said to send a girl, didn't he?

Yes.

And here you are.

It would help us greatly

if you could tell us
who committed this murder.

Didn't the cops find someone?

Yes, a juvenile
from a competing gang.

But we think it's this man.

Yeah.

Can you tell us who this is?

Why should I?

- We're helping you with your appeal.
- Yeah.

We successfully argued
in front of the Seventh Circuit.

They just like torturing me.

They say they'll reconsider,
but I'll be dead come Sunday.

Then why not help us?

I heard my mom argued for me.

She did.

And my brother?

It was hard on both of them,
but they argued for you.

You get them here, and I'll tell you.

- I don't know if we have time.
- Well, make the time.

I'll get them. Just tell me who this is.

Who is this, Ricky? Just tell me.

Ervin Womack, a.k.a. Mace.

He's your man.

Okay.

Chris, do I admit to being young,
stupid, even immature? Yes.

But the 21-year-old Robert Mulvey
is not the 34year-old Robert Mulvey.

And you think we shouldn't judge you
because it was just this one time?

Well, I think you should judge
me on what I say and what I do now.

And what if it's more than one time?

These photos were taken
on the same winter break,

- congressman.
- Oh, dear God.

Is that you at the National Gallery
sculpture garden?

- Ahem.
Don't go there.

- No, please don't go there.
George Washington?

No!
- Well, l... I don't believe they, um...

I would need to get a closer look.

Uh, we need to talk to your politician.

You look serious.
- I'm a serious guy.

Ervin Womack, a.k.a. Mace.

We should question him
for the 22nd Disciple hit.

- We closed that.
- Yeah, with a juvenile.

This guy's adult.

Is that what Kalinda said?

You mean your girlfriend, Kalinda?

No, I mean yours.

No, don't stop there. You're on a roll.

I saw you two.
It looked more than friendly.

Really? And what does
"more than friendly" look like?

Like more than friendly.

Cary, listen to my words now, okay?

I have never said this before,
but I am now going to say it for you.

- Are you ready?
- Uh-huh.

I'm not a lesbian.

I know a lot of people who weren't
anything until they met Kalinda.

Is that why you have a thing
for ethnic women?

- What?
- You still pining for your lesbian?

Okay, now you're turning it.
This isn't about me.

Okay. That's enough for me.
Going home now.

You wanna question Mace, go for it.
You're the deputy.

Kalinda's trying to get to me
through you.

Yeah, and it seems to be working.

Figure out what you want, Cary,
then we can talk.

I don't want her.

Good to know.

- What do you know about him?
- Not much.

Alicia got a tip from death row.

You found out something on him?

His description matched
another murder.

We just wanna question him.
Nobody's going in hard.

So you talk to ASA Lodge
these days?

Yeah. You too, huh?

What are you doing?

- What am I doing?
- Yeah.

Don't. Okay? Don't.

Police.
I have a warrant for Ervin Womack.

Cary, look,
ASA Lodge approached me.

If you have a problem with that,
then you need to solve that out with her.

She's not the one I mistrust.

Go to hell, Cary. Do you think l...?

Womack, freeze!

We got him.

Everybody okay? Anybody hit?

- You all right?
- Yeah. You?

Yeah.

Looks like a Walther P99.

That's Tom's gun.

I say this with some trepidation.

But a failing is a failing.

- I am an alcoholic.
Nice work.

- Changes the subject.
- Thanks.

The only place left to go.

I thought, foolishly,
that I had taken care of my problem.

But as all alcoholics know,
it's never over.

So I'm going back
into the program.

All right, so I'll talk to you
when he gets out.

Yeah.

I like him.

Not a bad guy.
Still room to corrupt him. Heh, heh.

I'm thinking of him
for state senate first.

State senate here?

Yeah. What were you thinking?

I just didn't know
you were thinking local.

Only as a jumping-off point.

What's wrong?
Is that too small for you?

My ex-wife is running
for state senate.

Heh. Really?

Well, that's, uh, unfortunate.

Yep.

Okay.

Thanks for your help, buddy.

I'll see you.

He lost the appeal.

Execution's going forward.

Suzanne, thank you for coming.
We need to hurry.

We got here as fast as we could.
This is Michael.

Yes. Come this way, please.

Just so you know, Mrs. Packer,
he helped us with our case.

We found the real killer,
and our client will be freed.

- I don't know if that helps.
- It helps. Thank you.

It's Ricky's mother.
Tell them we're coming.

Thank you.

He'll be coming out of that door.
We have to stay out here.

He really helped you
with your case?

Yes. You sound surprised.

I'm, uh... I know there's supposed
to be good in everyone,

but sometimes it's just hard to see,
so this gives me hope.

Here he comes now.

Ricky.

Ma.
It's me.

It's Michael.

I'm going away now.

We love you.

I know.

What can we do for you?

You burn in hell, both of you.

I want you to suffer every day
of your life thinking of me.

Bye, Mom.

Love you.

It was fun.

Yeah, okay. Okay, thank you.

It is the gun. Tom LaVere's gun.

We're releasing him.

You all right?

Uh, considering
it was my first gun fight.

- You?
- Yeah.

Thanks for pulling me down,
for protecting me.

What do you want from me,
Kalinda?

What do I want from you?

Why does everybody always think
that I want something?

Because you do.

She's not attracted to women.

Cary, you make me too calculated.

Look, I came here, you weren't here.

She was here, so I asked her
about the case. That's all.

You've got blood on your ear.

Under.

I don't like you being in my head.

What?

I said, I don't like you
being in my head.

Then get me out.

- What are we doing?
- I have no idea.

What?
