The Good Wife (2009–2016): Season 4, Episode 10 - Battle of the Proxies - full transcript

(Bach's English Suite #3: Gavotte plays)

(Music playing in earbuds)

I'm sorry,
do you need that hot sauce?

Thank you,
thank you.

I do that, too.

But with the
accordion.

Ah.

It's classical
piano, huh?

With me, I can play

"Old Grey Mare,"
that's just about it.

Ah.



I'm sorry if
I'm being nosy.

Are you Eli Gold?

Um, Eli Gold?

- Yes.
- I knew it.

I saw you sitting there.

I thought to myself, "That's Eli
Gold, the campaign manager."

I didn't want to say anything
in case I was wrong.

How's the campaign going?

Good.

Well, I am gonna
vote for your guy.

I sure will.

Thank you.

Nice meeting you.

You used to have
Wooster-Graff Industries



as a client, didn't you?

Back when you were
a crisis manager?

Last year sometime?

Oh, I'm sorry.
Am I being nosy again?

What do you need, Mr...?

LaGuardia.

David is good, though.

I work for the Justice
Department when I'm not

practicing the accordion,
so I was just...

Oh, you gotta go?

Look, I'm sorry.
I just wanted to

talk to you about a
few things. Maybe...

Get me Leshoure
from Wooster-Graff Industries.

(Bach's English Suite #3:
Gavotte continues playing)

NORA:
Greg Leshoure on two.

Tell him I'll call him back.

Oh!

Nora, I need your phone.

- It's my mom.
- Call her back!

- Mom, I have to call you back.
- Come on!

Diane Lockhart.

This is a simple case.

On that, I agree
with my respected colleague

for the prosecution.

Nine months ago, a young woman
named Brandi Colavito

attended Alt-O-Rama,

three-day music festival
here in Chicago.

While there, she was murdered.

The killer then took the body
50 miles south

to her hometown, in Minooka,
in Grundy County,

and dumped her.

Now ASA Hellinger has seen fit
to charge my client,

Troy Mallick,
a respected executive

with a spotless record.

This despite the fact
that he had no motive

and there were better suspects
in Minooka.

So let's look at the evidence.

WOMAN:
Her name was Brandi Colavito.

She lived here in Minooka,

went to Minooka Community High,
graduated,

and moved away to Chicago
where she was murdered

after a rock concert.

You will hear evidence
that my client,

Gary Kuharski, killed her.

He didn't.

You will hear evidence that
he was obsessed with Brandi,

that he stalked her
after she broke up with him.

He wasn't.

You will hear evidence

that he followed her
to the Chicago concert.

That is untrue.

But what ASA Hellinger
won't tell you

is that Brandi
had an ex-boyfriend,

a young man
living in her hometown,

who became obsessed with her,
who stalked her.

Now, you might ask
the prosecutor,

why this is being prosecuted
here at all?

The murder didn't take place
in Minooka.

It took place in Chicago.

Yes, the body
was transported here,

but this is big-city business.

Not our business.

I'll tell you why Gary's
being prosecuted here.

Because Cook County didn't think

there was enough evidence
to charge him.

Objection, Your Honor.

Yes, Ms. Hoff,
let's not theorize

on why someone did
or did not do something.

And another thing Ms. Hellinger
won't tell you,

not only is my client innocent,

but there is someone in another
county being tried...

Objection, Your Honor!

- ...for this exact same crime!
- Your Honor, this is outrageous!

Someone from Minooka...

Yes, outrage is thick
in the air. Approach.

I'm not sure what the problem
is here, Your Honor.

You gave Mr. Gardner specific
and explicit instructions

- Which I followed. Which I followed to a T.
- not to bring up...

Mr. Gardner, I know you
like playing the bad boy.

Do it on your own time,
not on mine.

Your Honor, you warned me
not to bring up

the name of the man
being tried in Minooka.

And I have not,
even though this is

a gross miscarriage of justice.

Has there ever been a mere
miscarriage of justice?

Why is it always a gross one?

You were warned not to bring up the
other trial at all, Mr. Gardner.

They're mentioning our trial
there, Your Honor.

Yes, and if the judge
in Minooka wants

to allow that,
that's his prerogative.

HELLINGER:
He wants a mistrial, Your Honor.

Mr. Gardner has delayed
this court date for months,

hoping the other trial would
result in a guilty verdict.

I would have to agree.

You're not getting a mistrial,
Mr. Gardner,

and I will hold you in contempt
and fine you $10,000.

And your next offense?

You will find yourself
in a jail cell.

And if this Minooka trial
results

in a guilty verdict,
Your Honor?

If another person
is found guilty of this murder,

yes, then you may present
that evidence to the jury,

but not before.

- Do you understand?
- I do, Your Honor.

All right, then step back.

And, Mr. Gardner, behave.

How are you enjoying
the big leagues?

Is that what this is?

Seemed pretty
bush league to me.

ALICIA:
Mr. State's Attorney?

I'm Alicia Florrick-- I left
a message with your office.

- Yes, and the answer is no.
- The answer? I haven't even

- asked the question yet.
- You want to help me, right?

If I get a guilty verdict
for him,

your guy in Chicago goes free.

- Well, that's the hope.
- I don't like defense attorneys, ma'am.

I don't trust them.

Mr. State's Attorney,
we have access

to the Cook County
Medical Examiner's files.

We have an outside
forensic analysis...

Good day, ma'am.

(Sighs)

Hi. He doesn't want our help.

WILL:
He will.

Kalinda is getting
a soil sample tonight.

Do a search on a type
of soil called clay loam.

Oh. Um, I'll write up
a brief on it.

How's Troy doing?

Not good.
Deer in the headlights.

I wish you were here
to hand-hold him.

Oh, you're not bad
at that yourself.

Thanks, but I'm not so sure.

Drive safe.

Okay.

Alicia said to say hi.
You all right?

My parents think
the jury doesn't like me.

One thing I know
is you can't read a jury.

You can't let 'em get
into your head.

You just gotta play it cool

and let them know
that you're innocent.

I was approached
today by a DOJ agent

named David LaGuardia.

Approached?

In what way approached?

An off-the-record drop-by
over lunch.

What did he say?

He mentioned
Wooster-Graff Industries.

I managed the bad publicity
around their IPO last year.

But I left before
he said anything more.

Good.

Did something happen
at Wooster-Graff

that I should know about?

Completely aboveboard.
Completely legal.

Then they're just fishing.
I wouldn't worry about it.

He gave you this?

No.

Where did you get this?

I can't say.

I had the floor checked.
It's empty. A bankruptcy.

When was this? I don't know.
A year ago, maybe.

I moved that
painting a bit.

Do you want me to go to Justice?

I am in the middle
of a campaign, Diane.

The rumor of an investigation

is often worse
than a result.

I need you, if you don't mind,
to keep this confidential.

Of course.

No, I mean, from
the candidate.

You mean,
don't put Alicia on it?

Or Will.

ZACH: (from other room)

Can I use the computer, Mom?

For homework?

Yes.

In a minute. I'm almost done.

Don't worry, Mom,
I got it.

Mom?

Uh, yeah, good. Okay.

MAN:
Tom Szabo.

I work as evidence technician
for Grundy County.

And you collected evidence
at two sites, Mr. Szabo:

locally, where
the body was found,

and also at the murder site.

Yes, I received permission
from Cook County

to observe their
collection there.

And what did you find that was
identical at both sites?

- A shoe impression.
- This one?

Yes, the one on
the right is from

the murder scene, and the one on
the left is from the body site.

And did you find a match
for this shoe impression?

Yes, sir.
In Mr. Kuharski's closet.

They were size 11
Saturn running shoes.

Thank you, sir.
Nothing further.

HOFF:
Mr. Szabo,

you say you compared
the shoe impression

to my client's sneakers,

but did you also compare it
to Troy Mallick's sneakers?

Objection, Your Honor.
Relevance.

You've already ruled this

parallel Chicago trial relevant,
Your Honor.

If the shoe impression matches
the Chicago defendant,

that's highly relevant.

Yep, Alma, that's right.

Sorry, Lee, I will overrule.

SZABO: I did not compare
the impression.

But the Illinois
Crime Lab did.

Mr. Szabo, can you read

what it says in their
determination?

"Based upon a comparison
of the shoe impressions

"with the size 11 footwear
worn by Troy Mallick,

we determine a match."

HOFF: So, you think
the shoe impression

matches my client's shoes,
but the Chicago team

thinks it matches
Troy Mallick's shoes.

Which one do you
suppose it is?

Objection!

Thank you. Nothing further.

You're losing.
You need that.

Mr. Szabo, as a forensic
evidence technician,

did you perform an analysis
of the soil

from Mr. Kuharski's sneakers?

Yes, but unfortunately,
I didn't have a sample

from the murder site
to compare it to.

Because the lab in Chicago
failed to release one to you?

That's right. There was a bit
of a jurisdictional dispute.

I understand.

Prosecution Exhibit D,
Your Honor.

This is an analysis of the soil
from the murder site.

Objection. This is not on
the prosecution's exhibit list.

We've just become aware of it.

Because Mr. Tripke was handed it

by someone
in the gallery.

Yes, I think I recognize
our illustrious guest.

We've had dealings before,
haven't we, Ms...?

- Mrs. Florrick.
- Ah, yes.

And you're providing evidence
to our state's attorney?

A soil analysis
from the crime scene.

There's nothing
prohibiting that.

JUDGE:
That is certainly true.

Unorthodox,
but not prohibited.

I'll allow,
subject to verification.

Thank you,
Your Honor.

So, Mr. Szabo,
this analysis shows

that the soil from Alt-O-Rama,
from the murder site,

was called
drummer silt clay loam.

Yes, according to this analysis.

And that's a very unique
soil type.

It is.

And could you tell me

what type of soil
was found in the tread

of the defendant's shoe?

Drummer silt clay loam.

And didn't the defendant say
he was never

- at the concert?
- Objection.

Beyond the scope.

Withdrawn.

Anything else you have,
I'm open.

4x10
- Battle of the Proxies -

(Knocking, door opens)

I'm done with the desktop

if you need the hard line.

The Wi-Fi's working
now. Thanks.

What did I do?

- Nothing.
- The dent was already there.

Zach, I'm...

What dent?

The dent on the car.

It was already there.

Someone must have opened
their door and hit it.

Okay.

Um, that's not why I'm here.

I-I was just, um,

wondering how you are.

- Good.
- Good.

And Nisa?

You're still dating?

Yeah.

How old is she now?

Nisa? 15.

I thought you liked Nisa.

No, I do.

Um, I'm just wondering...

do we need to have
a conversation?

About?

Sex.

Uh, Mom, no.

No, I'm fine, really.

Well, we agreed that
if there was ever anything

- you needed to talk about...
- Yeah, and there's not.

Really, I'm good.

And we already did talk
about that.

I... I did a search
on my computer,

and when I typed
in the question,

it said that the previous search

was for types of condoms.

And you thought it was me

that searched
for types of condoms?

Well, I mean,
you use the hard line.

So does Grace.

Grace?

Yeah.

And she's seeing Connor now.

She's seeing him?

Yes, and I would never
hunt on your computer.

And if I did, I know how
to scrub a search cache clean.

Okay, thanks. Let's not rub

your sophistication
in my face, please.

Mrs. Florrick?

Nick Saverese is waiting for you
in the conference room.

Do you know why?

No. He didn't seem happy.

I don't want Cary on my case.

You don't want Cary? Why?

I want you
or one of the other partners.

Well, I'm working on something
full-time at the moment.

Is there a specific problem?

Yeah, he accused me
of running drugs.

He...

How did he do that?

Well, he came to my lot
and he said, as my lawyer

and as a friend of
the state's attorney's office,

he knew what I was doing,

using the cars we towed
to move drugs.

Huh.

Yeah.

Would you give me a minute?

Mr. Saverese,
I talked to the partners

and we must apologize,

but we can't
represent you anymore.

Really? Why?

It's not to our benefit.

Okay.

You know, the last time
it weren't to your benefit,

the partners took me back.

They sent me an apology
with a gift basket.

Yes, but that was

when you had a $25 million
governmental bid.

You lost that some time ago,

and it doesn't look like
you're getting it back.

You didn't talk to the partners.

You talked to Cary.

I'm sorry, Mr. Saverese,
we have to let you go.

(Groans)

I know you're the wife
of the state's attorney.

You don't want to say anything
to anyone

about this drug charge.

Ever.

Attorney client privilege
and all that.

Here's the thing, Mr. Saverese,

attorney client privilege

is voided
if I'm threatened.

So let me ask you this,

and I suggest
you take a moment

before answering.

Are you threatening me?

You decide.

MAN:
Brandt Claussen, OLS Security.

We are first and we are fast.

HELLINGER:
And on the night in question,

were you working security
for Alt-O-Rama?

I was.

And could you tell us...

No, strike that.

Did you see the defendant

with the victim,
Brandi Colavito?

Yes.

I saw them fighting,
yelling at each other.

- And afterwards? - Well, he basically
followed her into the woods,

where the concertgoers camp
and I heard her screaming.

You heard Brandi screaming.
What was she screaming?

Objection, hearsay.

Res gestae exception,
Your Honor.

Overruled. You may answer.

"Get away from me.

Stop it."

And then it just
suddenly stopped, her screaming.

So then I basically

ran into the woods
to see what happened,

and I couldn't
find her at first.

But then I found
the bloody clothing.

- No sign of Troy?
- No.

I guess I got there too late.

He must have taken the body.

Objection, Your Honor.
Speculation.

- Sustained.
- Mr. Gardner, I've concluded my questioning.

Thank you, ASA Hellinger.

So, Mr. Claussen,

you heard Brandi screaming,
"Get away from me. Stop it."

And how far away were you
at this time, approximately.

From the screaming?

I guess about 80 yards.

- And you heard it clearly?
- Yes.

It was awful.

And what are these?

Earplugs.

And you're provided these

by the stadium because
of the loud music

to keep you from going deaf?

Yes.

Were you wearing them
that night?

Was that a yes?

- Yes.
- Could you put them in?

I'd like to try something.

Objection, Your Honor.

Must we have the dramatics?

Well, the witness has sworn
to hearing the screaming.

- I just want to see if he could.
- A little drama

never hurt anyone,
Ms. Hellinger.

Please put them in.

Now I'm gonna ask my associate
to step out into the hall.

That's not exactly 80 yards.

It's probably 30.

Can you just tell us what
you hear, Mr. Claussen.

Huh?

(Chuckles)
I'm sorry.

Just tell us what you hear.

KALINDA:
I'm not being murdered!

I'm just screaming
in the hallway!

Um...

Cute.

Thanks.
Offer a plea bargain.

Why?

I hear it's going very well
in Minooka.

They find their guy guilty,
your case evaporates.

Yes, and if their guy confessed,
my case would evaporate, too,

but it's not gonna happen.

Matan.

I think I need your help.

KALINDA:
Hey, I thought you were

- heading up to Minooka.
- I am.

I'm late.

What's wrong?

Should I be afraid
of your husband?

No.

Why?

He was here.

- When?
- This morning.

I told him we were
no longer representing him.

He didn't take it very well.

He's worried that Cary and I

might tell someone
that he's moving drugs.

Did I do the right thing?

Telling him
we no longer represent him?

And I'm not in danger?

No.

You won't be.

Good.

Captain Tim Resnick,
Chief of Investigations

at the Minooka
Police Department.

And did you have
any official contact

with Mr. Kuharski prior
to arresting him for murder?

Yes, three months ago,

I was called to the scene
of a domestic dispute.

Mr. Kuharski had beaten Brandi
around the face and neck.

- Did you arrest him at that time?
- We did.

But he posted bail,

and Brandi declined
to press charges.

And was this the last time
you found the two

in such a situation?

No, Brandi eventually

obtained a
restraining order

- against him.
- Thank you, Detective.

Your witness.

They're getting help from Cook
County-- that man is an ASA.

JUDGE: Alma, you have
something there?

Uh, yes, Your Honor.

We do.

Detective Resnick,

when did you first turn
to my client as a suspect?

When did I?

Probably after I saw
the murder scene evidence

from the Chicago police.

Hmm, not before?

You didn't have
any foregone conclusions before?

No, always keep an open mind.

Odd, because I have here
the notes

from a Detective Collier
of the Chicago police.

Objection, Your Honor.

That is not on
the exhibit list.

Yes, we just
became aware of it.

JUDGE: Yeah, we seem to have
a very odd situation here.

A Chicago defense attorney
helping our prosecutor

and a... I'm sorry.

Would you like
to introduce yourself, sir?

Matan Brody, Your Honor,
Cook County ASA.

Just call me Murph.

A Chicago defense attorney

helping our prosecutor.

A Chicago prosecutor
helping our defense.

I thought I'd seen it all.

Well...

Your objection is
overruled, Lee.

Please proceed, Ms. Hoff.

I'm aglow with anticipation.

As I was saying,

I have the Chicago detective's
notes here.

Perhaps you could read
from the highlighted portion.

"Received a call

"from Detective Resnick
in Minooka.

Strongly believes killer
is ex-boyfriend."

Yeah.

Sounds like prejudging to me.

- Objection, Your Honor.
- Sustained.

WILL:
What?

ALICIA: Matan is here,
helping the defense.

You're kidding.

Having some trouble
out there in Minooka?

I'll call you back.

I wonder what the
taxpayers would say

about you helping
the defense

- in another county get a murderer off.
- Probably the same thing

your creditors would say
about you sending

the state's attorney's wife.

Whoever loses buys
the other drinks.

You're gonna lose.

No music today, Mr. Gold?

Mr. LaGuardia,

I have asked my client not
to answer your questions.

Please talk to me only.

Certainly.
What do you need, Ms. Lockhart?

Why is the Public Integrity
Division looking into my client?

Who says we're looking
into anything?

Well, if you're not, then
consider this a polite request.

Don't approach or surveil
my client again.

Any further such efforts would
be considered harassment.

I only approached your client
once-- that hardly warrants,

uh...

Ms. Lockhart, uh...

You're showing...

This is a photo I have
no previous knowledge of.

If what you showed me
is indeed DOJ work product,

whoever gave you that photo
broke the law.

Good to know,
now, what are you after?

You know my division
investigates

- campaign finance violations.
- Yes, which has

- nothing to do with Mr. Gold's
crisis management. - Except some

of Mr. Gold's biggest
clients have recently

become donors
to his wife's campaign.

- You're kidding me.
- Eli...

There is nothing illegal
about clients exercising

their First Amendment rights.

As long as it's at
arm's length, yes.

But a quid pro quo
in which Mr. Gold offers savings

to crisis management client
in trade

for contribution to
a political campaign,

that is illegal.

Discount for donations.

And that is what
you're accusing?

No... that is what
we are investigating.

HOFF: Your Honor, we ask that the
following evidence be admitted.

Cook County crime scene photos
of the car trunk

belonging to Troy Mallick.

Got something from your Cook
County friend here, have you?

- Yes, Your Honor.
- It is lovely how prosecutors,

defense attorneys
are all working together here.

It gives one hope.

We also ask that the
accompanying evidentiary report

- of fabric trace evidence be admitted.
TRIPKE: Objection, Your Honor.

This evidence is subject to

Fruit of the Poisonous Tree
exclusion.

Someone illuminate me here--
what is this evidence?

(Whispering)

That's right.
Take your time.

Your Honor, this is evidence
collected from the car trunk

of the Chicago defendant
Troy Mallick.

The man with whom the victim
attended the concert.

Now as you can see,

trace evidence from the
victim's clothing was found

in his car trunk, suggesting
the Chicago defendant

- transported the victim...
- No, it does not suggest that.

The Chicago defendant explained
this evidence.

He carried a grocery bag...

- Sleeping!
- Sleeping bag in his trunk.

And the fabric transferred
from the bag.

Well, if the prosecution
believes that,

then let them argue it in court.

Your Honor, the
Chicago police

searched the trunk
without a warrant,

that is why this evidence
was barred from court.

Yeah, no, Chicago court,
not Minooka court.

- But the same rules apply.
MATAN: No!

Fruit of the Poisonous Tree
argument applies

to due process
of the Chicago defendant.

She's using that
as exculpatory

evidence for a totally
different defendant.

ALICIA: Yes, but due
to the constitutional

exclusion,
this evidence was never subject

to the same stringent analysis
as the defendant in Chicago...

(All arguing indistinctly)

- Thank you.
(Yells) - Thank-thank you.

One and all.

What we have here
is a battle of the proxies,

and unfortunately,
Ms. Florrick, Mr. Tripke,

the fruit of the poisonous
tree grows in Chicago.

Its limbs do not extend here.

We will allow this evidence.

What else you got?

I'll get back to you.

(Knocking on door)

Use the one in the living room!

(Door opens)

ALICIA: It's me.

- Oh, Mom.
- Hey, sorry.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Why does everyone think
something's wrong

when I come to their room.

Everyone?

Who's everyone?

My children-- my various
children throughout Chicago.

Are you all right, Mom?

Too many hours in court.

(Inhales)
How are you?

I'm good.

- And how's Connor?
- Connor?

He's good, I guess. Why?

Tell me about him.

About Connor?

I-I don't know--
I already did.

No...

I only know that you...

go to the same school

and that his girlfriend
was the one who did that...

Not his girlfriend--
they broke up.

Okay, um...

Tell me about him.

Okay. Uh, well, he's nice.

Um, he wants to live
in Thailand.

There's this one city
in Thailand

where, um, they have a festival
once a year

and basically everyone throws
water at each other.

So, it's like
this massive

citywide water fight.
(laughs)

And-and he wants to do
that after school?

Well, just for a year.

- Ah.
- And then he'll go to college.

So, you two have gotten close?

Just as friends.

And he's
a Christian, too?

- No.
- But you are?

- You're still a Christian?
- You don't have to say "a Christian""

You can just say "Christian."

And, yeah. Why?

You used the hard line
on my desktop computer?

Yeah.

Someone did
a search there.

Trying to find out about...
something.

What?

(Sighs)

Condoms.

Oh, my God, Mom!

I didn't know...
I didn't know if it was you.

- Oh, no! - And if it was,
it is not a problem.

- But I think maybe we should talk about it.
- You really think I'd use

your computer
to find out about condoms?

I didn't know.
We haven't had a talk.

- Because I don't want to.
- Well, maybe

- we need to have it now.
- No, Mom.

No, thanks, really.

I really don't want to.

You okay?

Yeah.

And you're being a good girl?

I'm being a good girl.

Okay, good.

I'm here if you need to talk.

- Brock Dalyndro-- D-A-L-Y-N-D-R-O.
HELLINGER: And did you attend

- the Alt-O-Rama concert last May?
- Yeah.

All three days--
it was killer.

Could you please
tell us what you saw?

I was coming back
to the campsite,

Sabbath had just finished their
set, and my head was ringing.

And, uh, I saw a guy coming out
with a blanket

over his shoulder, putting it
into the trunk of a car.

How far away were you
from this man?

- Maybe ten, 15 feet.
-So, close enough to see

there was something
in the blanket?

Objection, leading.

- Sustained.
- Why did you notice this blanket?

Well, I saw
what looked

like a body in it.

- From the way he was carrying it.
- Objection,

- speculation.
- Sustained.

Do you recognize that man you
saw in this room today, Brock?

Yeah... him.

The witness is pointing
to the defendant,

Troy Mallick.
Nothing further.

(Quietly)
Try getting out of that one.

Mr. Dalyndro,
had you been drinking

the night of the concert?

I had a few beers,
I guess.

A few-- how many is that?

Maybe seven or eight?

Okay, you done any drugs?

I might've smoked
a little pot, but...

- But-but it wasn't mine though.
- Uh-huh.

Uh-huh, so
you smoked pot,

you drank seven or eight beers,

it was dark out,
crowded, noisy...

- Yeah, but I know what I saw.
- You saw

- a man carrying a blanket?
- Yeah.

With a mountain on it.

- I'm sorry, what?
- The blanket, it...

it had this mountain peak on it.

I see.
That seems to be a new detail.

- You never mentioned that to the police.
- Well, I never

- thought of it till now.
- Uh-huh.

And what else might you think
of in another week's time?

- Objection.
- Sustained.

Now, let's turn to your identification
of this mysterious man.

Your Honor,
may we approach the bench?

Excuse me, Ms. Hellinger,
I'm in the midst of questioning.

- Your Honor?
- Please approach.

(Whispering) Your Honor,
it gives me no delight

in saying this, but I believe
the defense is prepared

to contravene your ruling.

- What?
- Mr. Gardner intends to show

this witness a photo of a man
wearing an identical shirt

to trick him into IDing him
as the killer,

then reveal it's, in fact,
the accused in Minooka.

- Uh... what?
- How do you know this,

ASA Hellinger?

Yes, how do
you know this?

I don't, Your Honor,

but I've caught on
to Mr. Gardner's tricks.

- This is just outrageous.
- I believe that that photo

there on the defense table

is, in fact,
the Minooka defendant.

Let's see it, Mr. Gardner.

- Your Honor...
- Let's see it.

Let's see it.

Okay, here-here's the thing.

Yes, it's that photo,

but the real
galling thing here

is that the jury will
never be allowed to know

that Minooka killer could be
easily confused for my client.

Yes, thank you.

That's ten more thousand dollars
in contempt fines,

Mr. Gardner,
now, step back.

I learned my second piece Mr. Gold,
"Danny Boy."

Congratulations.

- The accordion.
- At first, I thought,

who plays the accordion,
but then I kind of liked it.

- It's unusual.
- Mm.

The Fed who plays
the accordion.

That's right.

We've looked into Wooster-Graff
Industries donations

to Vanessa Gold.

I'm sorry, do you want
to talk more about accordions?

- No, done.
- We've looked into the donations

to Vanessa Gold's campaign,
and we feel confident

that Eli has done nothing wrong.

Well, that's great.
Phew.

But given that
Mr. Gold's

campaigns are highly visible,
we want to know

how we can satisfy
the Justice Department's

insatiable appetite
for information.

A proffer.

As to what?

Indiscretions by the candidate.

- I'm not gonna turn on my ex-wife.
- No.

Peter Florrick.

You're accusing
Mr. Gold

- of soliciting illegal donations
for Peter Florrick? - No.

But we would be willing to drop
any charges against Mr. Gold

in trade for a proffer
on Mr. Florrick.

Go to hell.

I would advise you

to talk things over
with your lawyer, Mr. Gold.

I'd imagine she'd urge patience.

After he cools down,
have him give me a call.

Go to hell.

WILL:
He's lying.

Making up details--
a mountain on a blanket.

KALINDA:
I don't think he was lying.

Troy's company is called
WaterCleanse.

It's a home-filtering
water company.

And that

- is their logo.
WILL: I'm not sure what...

Turn it upside down.

There's your mountain.

It was on a
blanket, not a...

Our client is guilty.

We don't know that.

- You're right, we don't.
- And either way, we have a duty to

zealously represent our clients.

- What about the defendant in Minooka?
- What about him?

I've been helping the prosecution
convict an innocent man.

No, you've been supplying
the prosecution with

true information to
help them win a case.

Yes. Against
an innocent man.

So what do I do?

Out there in Minooka?

Do I continue to help them
convict a man

I know is innocent
in order to represent my client

who I know is not?

We have to zealously represent
the interests of our client.

It's our job.

We can hate it,

but it's our job.

HOFF:
And that's why your office

never considered my client
a suspect?

MATAN:
Yes.

There was too much real evidence

to support our suspect
in Chicago.

- The trace evidence from the
victim's dress... - Yes.

It's true we couldn't
present it in court...

(Whispering)
Anything else?

MATAN:
... but it was a damning picture.

Go for Tillman.-
HOFF: Nothing further, Your Honor.

Mr. Brody,
you are quite confident

that your defendant
in Chicago

is the person responsible
for this crime.

Yes, sir.

And were you equally confident

with the Ryan Tillman
murder case?

- That wasn't my fault.
- Yes.

But were you equally confident?

Objection, Your Honor,
relevance.

What is this case?

A murder that
Mr. Brody prosecuted

that sent a man to prison

for... ten years.

He was recently exonerated.

No, Alma, I will allow.

It goes to credibility.

TRIPKE:
Were you equally confident

prosecuting Mr. Tillman?

(Sighs)

Okay.

You have another problem.

- Just one?
- That was the employer

of the defendant in Minooka.

It's a landscaping company,

and it uses the same
soil treatment

as the concert campground.

Yeah.

So... the soil on
Gary Kuharski's shoes

was probably from his work site.

So I gave the prosecution
inaccurate evidence.

And I can't tell them, can I?

Well...

it'll become public record.

And then the state's attorney
could use it against our client.

- Yep. - So I have to
keep my mouth shut,

while an innocent man
may go to jail.

It's one of
those dilemmas

that doesn't come up
in law school.

No. No, we can't win
without downstate any more.

We need to hit Maddie
right in her base of su...

(Knocking on door)
Yeah?

Um, Mr. Gold,
you better come out here.

You're gonna want to seize
the hard drives,

all the cell phones.

Someone's got to get started
on those files over there.

Hi, Mr. Gold.
So good to see you again.

What the hell are you doing?

We are raiding your office.

You're gonna want to wrap up
that call right now.

Over there. Yep.

Shut it down,
shut it down.

You can keep your coffee.
Yeah, print.

Hang it up.
Hang it up right now.

You, too, bud.

- Hey, Mom?
- Mm. Hey, I am running late.

I was thinking about what
happened with your computer,

so I ran a cache search.

Um, sometimes if you haven't
cleared your cache,

you can tell when a certain
search was run.

Well, I can pretty much say
I've never cleaned my cache.

It was Thanksgiving night.

8:12 p.m.
That's when the search was run.

- Well, we were all here then.
- Yeah, we were, but...

Here, look at this.

Two minutes before,

the browser logged into
that e-mail page.

Which means...?

That's Grandma's e-mail page.

- My mom's?
- No.

Jackie's.

I...

Uh, so you're saying she...

Zach?

Yeah?

We never speak of this again.

I'm good with that.

Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

I understand you have
reached a verdict.

FOREMAN:
Yes, we have, Your Honor.

(Paper rustling)

Very well.

Would you read the verdict,
please, Mr. Foreman?

JUDGE:
In the matter of

The People of the State of
Illinois v. Gary L. Kuharski,

on the charge
of first degree murder,

we the jury find
the defendant...

...guilty.

(Gallery exclaims)

...guilty.

(Gallery murmuring)

(Gavel banging)

(Music playing)

You heading out?

Well, I was thinking about it.

I think I owe you.

Okay.

You were good.

Thank you.

You were, too.

It's tough to get them off
when they're guilty.

Let's agree to disagree.

Either way, tough break
for the guy in Minooka.

Our case is over.

Our guy got convicted.

Meaning...?

Our duty's discharged.

So if we have anything

that could help that
guy on his appeal...

we can use it.

Okay.

To the next one.

I can't wait.

(Sighs)

(Elevator bell dings,
door opening)

NICK: You know, the next time
you want to get my attention,

just give me a call.

There won't be
a next time.

Why's that?

- 'Cause you're leaving.
- Am I?

Where am I goin'?

I just made a call
to the police

about your tow truck operation
smuggling drugs.

That's a shame.

Cops are already
at the yard, Nick.

It's too late.

There's nothing here
for you anymore.

So your best bet...

is to cross the border here.

And here's a key...

to a locker at
the Point Edward bus station.

I placed half
my $20,000 there.

I want you to take it,

and go.

You know
there's nothing left

between us, Nick.

Nothing.

So why don't you get
the hell out of here?

I don't think
you did call the cops.

That's not your style.

So...

what's your plan B?
