The Good Wife (2009–2016): Season 5, Episode 1 - Everything Is Ending - full transcript

Thanks for doing this here.

No problem.

What are you thinking?

I'm in.

With Agos/Florrick?

Florrick/Agos.

Carey in litigation.

Jeremy, family law.

Andre, acquisitions.

They all wanted to join.
They're all good.

I agree.



And what about Kalinda?

No. Robyn.

- Why not Kalinda?
- Money.

Are you okay with that?

Yeah.

Just kind of weird.
Everything's ending.

Beginning to.

So...

How are we gonna tell them?

- Who?
- Will and Diane.

Oh, it's the circle of life.

They had to leave their old law firms
to start Lockhart/Gardner.

I have the death row appeal
on Thursday.

I will tell them after that.



We have to get
some office space anyway.

Unless you want to take
the Sweeney offer?

No.

Oh, hey.

Congratulations,
Mrs. First Lady.

Oh, wow. I forgot.

What time is it?

It's been two hours
and ten minutes.

Is that normal?

No.

Is that one of the moms?

Mrs. Henning.

God, she must hate us.

I will now read the warrant.

"Whereas Eddie Alan Fornum,
on the 26th of May, 1999,

"murdered both Lynn Gore
and Susan Henning,

and whereas Eddie Alan Fornum... "

"...and whereas

"Eddie Alan Fornum was
adjudicated guilty of two counts

"of murder in the first degree
and sentenced to death,

we will now carry out
the sentence."

Mr. Fornum,
do you have any last words?

I'm sorry to everyone here.

To my new lawyers,

Diane and Alicia,

I have a favor to ask
of you both.

Please...

if you could...

go see my mom.

I was her only son,

and I was a disappointment.

To the parents

of Miss Henning and Miss Gore,

I am sorry

what happened
to your daughters,

but I did not do this.

And I wish...

I wish I could say
what was happening

here tonight was just,

because that might
bring you some...

because that might make...

They're having trouble
finding a line.

Ma'am, please sit down.

Ma'am, I'm gonna need you
to sit down right now.

- I want to talk to the warden.
- Ma'am, I need you to sit down right now.

You got to go and sit down
right now.

- Warden?
- Excuse me...

Warden Barkin,
I need to speak with you!

All right, let's go.

Warden Barkin!

We're Eddie's lawyers.
You can't just...

Yes, we can and we will.

Wait.

Sir, this is an Eighth Amendment
violation.

Lower your voice,
Miss Lockhart.

I know, we're all tense.

Our two medical technicians
are having trouble

finding a suitable vein.
But that is all.

Mr. Fornum was
an intravenous drug user,

and many of his
veins have collapsed.

You have been trying for
two hours and 20 minutes

to find a vein?

Yes, but we're now attempting
to run a line in his foot.

This is torture.
This is the definition of torture.

- That's not for you to say, ma'am.
- That's right.

It's for the court.

Broom v. Strickland.

This execution is a direct violation

of Eighth Amendment protections,

and it should be delayed

until you can ensure
its proper administration.

Hi, could you open
the door for me?

Uh... sure.

Hi, I'm Monica in litigation.
I'm teleconferencing from home.

Ah.

Okay, settle down, everybody.

Just got out of court.

We need to pursue an
evidentiary path to an appeal.

Clearly it's a long shot...

Just shut the door on it.

Alicia just got here.

Good.
She has the legal aid work.

They want us to take point
on the appeal.

- And when is the execution now?
- Saturday, midnight.

It's been delayed 48 hours.

Look, it's a second chance.

That's all we need.
Robyn, take us through.

Eddie Alan Fornum was arrested
in July, 1999, for murdering

two 17-year-old girls
outside of a movie theater

in South Bend
after a botched carjacking.

Eddie had an alibi,
but he was found

in possession
of one of the girls' necklaces.

Which he bought
at a flea market.

And his hair was found
on the body.

That's where we want
to focus our appeal.

We don't think it's Eddie's hair
on the body,

and we're subpoenaing
the forensic lab to retest it.

What about the snitch?

He's the real reason
that Eddie was convicted.

He died six years ago.

I don't think
we'd find much there.

Okay, so we'll break up
into groups.

Tonya, you work the team
on witnesses and testimony.

Carey, the forensics.
Robyn, the background of the experts.

Thanks, Monica.

Good point.

Am I really needed here
or can I go?

We have 48 hours.

Let's make them count.
Cary, hold on a minute.

Uh, me?

No, Cary-Cary.

Diane, that's not enough time,
is it?

To get a subpoena on the hair
and test it, no.

Okay, you work
your evidentiary track,

and I'll grab Cary and Alicia
and we'll try to buy you more time.

How?

I have no idea.

Diane?

- Yes?
- I was getting...

Excuse me.

I was getting a subpoena
to retest the hair.

- Yes?
- Someone already retested it

in the prosecutor's office
six years ago.

Right, for an appeal.

No, not in the office in Indiana,
the one here in Chicago.

Someone tested it here.

Why?

- Your dad knows Barry Scheck?
- Yeah, he did. Why?

He's in federal court
on an Eighth Amendment

class action right now.

Call him.

Hey, Cary, what's up?

Barry... Mr. Scheck,

we need some help on the
Eddie Alan Fornum appeal.

Oh, I heard his execution
was delayed.

What do you need?

We were hoping to contribute
to your class action.

Well, I don't know

if the judge is gonna let him
join this far along.

I know. We don't want to join.

Hey, I'm glad you're
coming with us.

Oh, hey, uh, Cary
told me the good news.

- Can I tell the clients?
- What?

The governor's wife
is joining our new firm.

It's a selling point.

No, please don't.

Well, that's not what I said.

Get rid of those,
and let's talk.

Get out of my way!

Here's what I need.

All the phone numbers called
by the fourth-year associates

- over the last three months.
- Why?

I think the fourth-years
are intending to leave

and take some
of our clients with them.

Why do you think that?

Because I'm psychic.

Well, I can't legally access
their calls.

They're using
the company cell phones.

They're not their phones,
they're ours.

Just get me the metadata.

I want to see
who they're calling.

Eli, I'm on a death row appeal.
I don't have time.

I know, but this is important.

Eli, did you just hear me?

I said, "death row appeal."

Oh, I thought
that was hyperbole.

Uh, but you agreed to 4:00.
We've already delayed twice.

Where's the hair testimony?

Eli...

Look, any time after Saturday
I can do this, not today.

- Okay, Sunday at noon?
- At 7:00. What is it again?

It's the basic ethics talk
for the governor-elect's family.

We're changing strategies.

Got to go, Eli.

Peter?

Mr. Gold?

I'm Marilyn Garbanza,
executive director

of the Illinois Ethics Commission.

We have a 4:00.

Actually, I have a 4:00
with a Mitch Garbanza.

Yes, that's me.

Governor Quinn
used to call me Mitch.

Why?

I have no idea.

Okay.

Um, Mrs. Florrick,

unfortunately,
has to reschedule

for Sunday at 7:00,
if that's all right.

That is all right. Thank you.
I'll see you then.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

The choice isn't actionable.
I want to be clear.

I know, you're just
raising a red flag.

What are we discussing here?

Eli, you've met Marilyn?

Just a few seconds ago
in your office.

Marilyn has some
concerns about Mickey.

- Our chief of staff?
- Oh, I didn't know he was chosen yet.

He hasn't been yet,
but he is our top choice.

So Marilyn's concerned that Mickey
hired you as a crisis counselor.

It could look like
a conflict of interest.

Because I ran
the search committee?

Yes.

Again, I'm not here to
say you can't hire him.

I don't have that power.

I'm just saying it could look
ethically compromised.

Okay, we'll look into it.
Thanks.

Okay.

Thank you, Marilyn.

She's doing her job, Eli.

Currently, Indiana protocols...

Has insufficient protections
built in that guarantee...

A painless execution...

The printer,
the mobile printer.

Okay, I'll go get it.

Hi.

New innovation?

Test program.

So how does it feel
to be first lady of Illinois?

Weird.

Kind of like...
first galactic princess.

I'm sorry I didn't get back
to you the other night.

Hey, you've been celebrating,

you've been on death row,
it's been...

A weird few days.

But we can talk...

When this is over.
Don't worry.

Well, I... I was hoping to...

All right, I got it.

ASA Pine.

Ms. Lockhart.

Hello.

You worked at the South Bend

- prosecutor's office, didn't you?
- A while ago.

Why?
Do we know someone...?

You were the assistant prosecutor
on the Eddie Fornum homicide.

Do you know how we know that?

I don't care.

You had Eddie's hair retested
six years ago.

Ms. Lockhart,
I'm not talking to you.

They're going to execute him.

They tried once

and they're going to execute him
in 48 hours.

And you had ten years
to appeal his execution.

Don't come to me
with 40 hours left.

You think he's innocent.

I think you're out of time.

Just give us the hair test.

Will, I have a lead,
but I need time.

That is a very good point,
Your Honor.

That wasn't a point, Mr. Scheck.

I just wanted you to finish.

Well, uh, let me address
that point, if I may...

Uh, but before I do,

let me introduce my co-counsel...

Will Gardner.

Will Gardner, joining the case.

Your Honor,
if it pleases the court,

we ask that the execution
of Eddie Alan Fornum

- be delayed until...
- Your Honor...

I'm way, way ahead of you,
Ms. Cesca.

You know,
it doesn't please the court.

Not very much
pleases the court these days.

But your guy is not gonna join this suit.
Now, what else do you have?

You misunderstand me,
Your Honor.

We're not looking
for Eddie Alan Fornum to join the suit.

We're looking for him
to be the evidence.

Mr. Fornum's testimony

is the most relevant
as to how much pain is suffered

in the subject of lethal injection

because he was the subject
of lethal injection.

- Your Honor, I am speechless.
- Me, too.

I am speechless.

And yet intrigued.
Go on.

If Mr. Fornum is executed,
the state will have destroyed

crucial evidence for the plaintiff.

Your Honor, they are trying
to delay an execution.

Of course they are.

How much time do you need
to depose him?

- Six weeks.
- A month.

All right.
You have till Monday.

- Your Honor...
- Just relax, all right?

The State of Indiana
can execute him on Tuesday.

Now, look, I know what you three

are doing, but y-you're not gonna
save your guy with schemes.

You're gonna buy him
a little time.

You're not gonna save him.

- Time is all we need, Your Honor.
- And please use it well.

Get on with Kalinda.
We bought her another 48 hours.

Governor-elect Florrick's office.
Please hold.

You're sure you
don't need anything?

Yeah, I'm sure.
Thanks.

I'm fine, thanks.

Four of the last eight governors
of Illinois have gone to prison.

Four of the last eight.

Which is why we need to remember

that the spouse and the children
are an extension of the governor.

Your choices become his choices.

Now, I've looked over your work
at Lockhart/Gardner, Alicia.

There shouldn't be
any problem there,

as long as you don't
actively solicit clients

who have business with
the governor's office,

and that your relationship
with the governor

isn't used as a lure to clients.

It should not look like
Peter is receiving

backdoor remuneration
through your business.

And that your clients
shouldn't believe

that your spousal connection...

We need to talk.

About?

We need to talk.

I'm starting my own firm.

You're...

When?

Next week.

Me, Cary and ten others.

Peter, I wanted
to tell you yesterday,

but there was just no time.

That's fantastic!

You've been wanting to do
this since law school.

I know.
But I'm just worried that...

it might complicate
your ethical issues.

Oh, Marilyn was covering

all the spousal conflict
of interest issues.

Have you told Will?

And Diane?

No. Not yet.
Uh, just you two.

I'm damn proud of you.

Damn proud of you.

Thank you.

I'm so sorry,
I have to get this.

- I am on my way.
- What?

There were two nurses,
a man and a woman.

And they had the needles.

And they tried to put them

into the veins of my right
and my left arm.

How many times?

I again object
to this line of questioning

as a delaying tactic.

Do you want to get
the judge on the line?

What, and delay this even more?

Go ahead, Eddie.

Well, then another
nurse came on...

a head one, I guess...

and he tried again on this arm,

but something really hurt.

Can you show us where
on your arms?

- Objection.
- Good, let's get the judge.

I'm preserving my objection
for the record.

Go on, Eddie.

No, I'll do it.

So, after that,

- they went to your neck?
- Yeah.

I guess there was a
lot blood, because...

I heard the guy say "oops"

and the female nurse
had to leave the room.

Why did she have
to leave the room?

I don't know,
but she was crying.

Do you remember her name?

"Joan," Your Honor.
That's all we know.

But I'm sure the AUSA
can locate her.

Your Honor,
the identity of nurses

at Indiana State
is kept confidential

so that it doesn't become known

that they participated
in an execution.

Yes, but that doesn't
shield them from questioning.

We would assert that it does.

Really?
You're asserting some kind

- of immunity, Ms. Cesca?
- Your Honor, we need to have

- a hearing on this question.
- Hold on, hold on.

Ms. Cesca, any thoughts about

- walking that one back?
- We apologize, Your Honor.

We agree there would be
no immunity,

but Mr. Gardner is merely using
this deposition as a ploy.

Your Honor!

And he will insist
that Mr. Fornum be kept alive

- for his rebuttal testimony.
- No.

No.

I was merely going to insist

that the AUSA is trying
to destroy evidence

- by expediting this execution.
- No, no, no.

I'm not gonna delay
this execution any longer.

How soon can you have
that nurse available?

- Tomorrow afternoon.
- That's not nearly enough time...

Shut up.

Tomorrow afternoon
after Mr. Fornum's been executed?

- Well, that's just coincidence.
- Yeah, I'm sure.

Make her available this afternoon

for a supervised deposition
or be held in contempt.

How did you get back here?

I needed to use the bathroom.

Call security!

You quit Indiana a month
after convicting Fornum.

You know something is
wrong with this case.

You know he's innocent.

He's not innocent.

You retested the hair evidence.
Why would you do that unless...

Because I thought I was wrong.

I wasn't.

The test came back consistent

- with Fornum's hair.
- I don't believe you.

Last page.

There.

- That doesn't mean it's his hair.
- You're right.

But it does mean there's
no convincing you.

Why did you do it
six years ago?

- Excuse me?
- Why did you

double-check the hair
evidence six years ago?

What do you mean?

Well, the date of this report

is one week after the snitch,
Tommy Diehause, died.

- You thought he might be lying?
- I don't have time...

No, Eddie Fornum
doesn't have time.

He escaped execution once.
He won't a second time.

This is the moment
to come forward, Ms. Pine.

- Please.
- You called security?

It's all right.

I was using Diehause
on another case.

He snitched on a top drug dealer
in exchange for his freedom...

and a new identity.

Will, the snitch is still alive.

- He's using the alias...
- Robbie Walker.

Kalinda, we have a lead.

We think he's still
in the Illinois area.

Forget the hair.
It's a dead end.

It's the snitch.

But we need more time
to find him.

Robbie Walker,
aka Tommy Diehause.

What'd you find out?

The snitch is still alive,
but we're having...

No, about the fourth-year
phone calls.

Do you want me in this meeting?

Dear God. Go away!

I haven't looked
into the calls yet.

Yes, you have.
I checked with our provider.

They said they sent you
the records.

- Then why do you need me?
- Maybe I don't.

Here's another question for you...

Why aren't you doing your job?

You have a complaint,
you go to Will or Diane.

Is this about Cary?

Or are you thinking of
leaving with them?

David, you should leave investigating
to the professionals.

You might hurt yourself.

Okay! Save that photo,

because it's the last time
you're gonna see

the ethics committee
smiling in my presence.

Thank you, Governor-elect.
Maybe we can talk later.

Not until you call me "Peter."

We should replace her.

Why?

Because the optics aren't good.

What optics?

Her... looks.

- Don't be ridiculous, Eli.
- I'm serious.

I can't fire someone
because they're too pretty.

Then don't. Promote her.
Move her laterally.

You don't want sex
to be an issue here.

It's not an issue.

Not for you,
but for your enemies.

They'd be delighted
to crown a new bimbo.

She's not a bimbo.

And we don't do that.

We don't fire someone
because of the way they look.

Okay?

It was my first execution.

In fact, you're not really

a medically-trained nurse,
is that correct, Joan?

- Well, I have training...
- Yes, but due to the Hippocratic oath,

trained nurses and doctors

are not allowed to
participate in executions.

Attorney is testifying,
Your Honor.

Yes, at some length.

Sustained.

Joan, did you leave
the execution prep in tears?

Well, I was upset.

Eddie said you left in tears.

- Do you disagree with that?
- No. He's right.

He said it was because of

the blood spilling from his neck
after a faulty I.V. line.

That sounds right.
I left because of the blood.

Joan, did the prosecution
prepare you for this testimony

by telling you to agree
with everything I said?

Objection, Your Honor.

No, no. Overruled.

Please answer.

She didn't say
"agree with everything,"

but she did say you were trying
to create disagreement

between Fornum and me

so that Fornum would
have to be kept alive

as a rebuttal witness.

- So you are actively deceiving this court?
- No.

I'm just not seeing
any area of disagreement.

Do you believe Mr. Fornum
was tortured?

I think the offender
was in pain.

He tried to keep from crying
and screaming out.

I think...

Yes, it was torture.

And don't you think
this is a systematic problem

of lethal injection?

I don't think so.
It was his veins.

We've never had
this problem before.

Eddie's veins?

What do you mean?

He has what we call

- rolling veins...
- Objection!

Your Honor,
we insist that a physical

of Eddie Alan Fornum
be conducted.

- Oh, dear God. Your Honor...
- The witness has made

an assertion that Mr. Fornum is

an exception
due to his rolling veins.

- Well, we need a physical to see...
- This is game-playing.

- I don't know how it's game-playing...
- All the appeals have all been exhausted.

It's absolutely ridiculous.

- The only game-playing is...
- Hey.

I don't want to shout
over you guys. Sit down.

Sit down.

Good.

How long will it take
to do this physical?

That was good.

No, you were good.

Okay.

Kalinda, the court's delayed
a few days.

- Yeah.
- Yes, I'm serious.

- Are you serious?
- Dude, totally serious.

Stiles said he hooked up
with her after second period.

- Hey, what's up with your sister?
- What do you mean?

When did she start
looking so hot?

What are you talking about?

Oh, you probably haven't seen it.

Seen what?

Hello.

Zach, it's Mom.
What are you doing?

What am I doing?
Nothing. Homework. Why?

Nothing, I just...

I need you to get your sister
dinner tonight.

Hey, is that Mom?

Uh, yeah.

Can you just tell her
we need more juice?

We need more juice.

And I love you, too.

I'll be home around 11:00 or so.

Not too much TV.

- Okay. Bye.
- Bye.

Alicia.

What's going on?

West Side Story?

We have a possibility
on some office space.

Just outside the Loop
on Harrison.

- $20 a square foot.
- Good.

It doesn't become available
for three weeks.

Okay, so we rent temporary
offices in the meantime.

No.

We were, uh, wondering whether
we should stick around until then.

For three weeks? Why?

Chumhum needs some
work on a case.

So, we do it
from our new office.

Look, we can't keep
skulking around.

- We have to cut the cord at some point.
- I agree.

- We need to get going.
- Tell her the real reason.

People want to wait
for bonuses.

Oh, come on!

It's $1 million between us.

If we walk out before
the first of the month,

they'll never pay us.

A lot of us are counting on
that money for start-up costs.

- We can't keep fooling the partners.
- We can't keep fooling Will.

Do we have a problem?

No. But you were all right
waiting a week to leave

after your case was finished,

but you're not all right
when it's our issue?

It's a death row case.

Okay, let's not make it
a big issue.

Listen, the difference here
is two weeks.

Let's just put it up to a vote
to the others, okay?

Hey, Tommy.

Who are you?

- Kalinda.
- Robyn.

I don't know who you guys
are looking for.

- My name isn't Tommy.
- It is.

Tommy Diehause.

Sad. You win
a whole new identity,

but you still can't
resist being a thief.

Look, I don't know
how you guys found me,

but I told the truth
at Eddie's trial.

He killed those girls.

He was only trying
to jack their car,

but they fought him and
pulled off his ski mask,

and that's why he had
to kill them.

Come on, Tommy, why would
anyone confess to you?

You have snitch written
all over you.

But how'd I know
about the ski mask

if Eddie didn't tell me, huh?

The police never told
anyone about that little detail.

Maybe you heard it
from the real killer.

I did hear it from the real killer.

Your client.

Alicia, Alicia.

Kalinda found the snitch,
but he's sticking to his story.

Damn.
Does she believe him?

No. She thinks there might be
another way to get him, though.

Are you okay?

The parking garage meet?

Sure. We're fine.

Hello?

Can someone help me, please?

I can't see anything.

Oh!

Is anyone around?

Thank you.

Alicia.
Do you have a minute?

Sure.

What's wrong?

We looked into
the company's phones.

Over the past month,

the fourth-year associates have called
our top clients a dozen times each.

We're worried
they're thinking of leaving with them.

Do you have any insight?

No.

We called the clients,
but they're being tight-lipped,

said they have no plans of
leaving at the present time.

Which is known
as "preserving their options."

I say we move past metadata
and access their texts.

- Can we do that?
- Where's Kalinda?

Kalinda's sympathetic with them.

Yes, we can do that.
They're our phones.

We own the texts.

Alicia, you're friends with Cary.

Are you hearing anything at all?

No. Not since the fourth-years
tried to scare us.

It would be helpful if you
could get closer to them.

Find out if they're happy,
and whether we should be worried.

Sure.

Okay, here's my problem.

I have two medical reports
conducted by two different doctors...

one for the plaintiff,
one for the defense...

and surprisingly, they
tell two different stories.

Your Honor, may I suggest...

That Mr. Fornum be preserved
as a rebuttal witness?

Your Honor, we withdraw

our medical report on the
offender's physical condition

and stipulate to the truth
of the plaintiff's report.

Excuse me?

In addition, we stipulate

to everything testified
in Mr. Fornum's deposition.

So let me get this straight.

You've decided that
it's better to execute

Mr. Fornum than
to win your lawsuit?

We also have the warden
from the Indiana State Prison

who will swear to changes

in the lethal injection protocol
so at to reduce the pain

associated therewith.

I imagine, Mr. Gardner,
you would like to depose said warden?

- Definitely, Your Honor.
- Either way,

there's no reason to delay
this execution anymore.

If you so stipulate,
I suppose that's true.

Ms. Lockhart?

Eddie didn't do it.

I agree.

How do we prove it?

The snitch testified
about the ski mask,

something he could only know
from the killer, right?

But when I was at Treasury,
we looked into prison brokers.

- Prison...?
- Brokers.

They're police insiders who sell
information to prisoners

so that they can snitch
on their cell mates in exchange

for a lighter sentence.

You think Diehause got the ski
mask information from a broker?

I don't know. Maybe.

- But he'll just deny it.
- If we go to him.

But what if we go after the broker?

Tommy Diehause snitched
for our office three times.

So we want to find someone
on all three cases.

Yeah, like a police officer,
forensic investigator.

- Good luck.
- You're not gonna help us?

Yeah.

Sir?

Why do you think Alicia's
leaving Lockhart/Gardner?

Why do I think?

Because she wants
to make something of herself.

Not about Will?

Well, I-I wouldn't presume.

And, uh...

You think the optics are wrong
with Marilyn?

Yes.

Photos of you with her
would give the wrong impression.

Okay.

Promote her.

No. No cops in common,
no forensic investigators, nothing.

We're still looking.

Okay.

The execution is on for tonight.

Who typed up your crime report?

What?

Who was the clerk
on your crime report?

Bottom of the page, there.

The typist.

Thank you, so much,
Ms. Munn,

for coming in
on such short notice.

Oh, no problem, but I'm-I'm
not sure how I can help.

I just type.

I don't actually catch
the bad guys.

Actually, uh,
we want to help you.

Really?
How do you want to do that?

We want to keep you
out of jail.

We discovered your brother
works as a prison guard,

and that's how you sell
information to snitches.

We are meeting next
with Tommy Diehause,

and one of you is gonna
turn on the other.

That's the problem with working
with a snitch, Ms. Munn.

They like to snitch.

So I would start talking first.

What do you want?

Did Stiles talk to you
yesterday at school?

What? Drew Stiles?

Yeah. Why?

What'd he say?

Nothing. He's disgusting.

I know. What'd he say?

Did you say something
to your friends?

No. Why?

They're all trying
to talk to me now.

What are you doing?

What is this?

Kids, hurry up!
Your ride's here!

Can we talk?

Uh, my mistake.

I have to get to work.

You were in
with the partners yesterday.

What did they say?

Nothing.

Alicia.

We need to leave
by the end of the week.

- They said that?
- No, I'm saying it.

I'm still a partner here.

And I'm stuck in the middle.

I have a fiduciary responsibility
to Lockhart/Gardner.

And I am opening myself up
to a lawsuit

just by talking
to you about anything.

- We need to leave.
- Look.

One of the things
we said we didn't like

about Lockhart/Gardner was
how decisions were made

by fiat...
by Will and Diane.

We said we wanted to run
things democratically.

And we all voted
to wait three weeks.

Would we take this case?

This death row case.

I don't know.

- Probably. Why not?
- It's pro bono.

50 partner hours.

We would be afraid
of going broke.

Yeah, but Lockhart/Gardner
didn't take death row cases

until its sixth or seventh year.

Are you having second thoughts?

I don't know.

I like watching
Diane and Will work.

- They care.
- Alicia.

You and I are
the new Will and Diane.

Don't use the company phones.
They're accessing the data.

I have a deposition.

Very simply, the medical
team thought they could put

an I.V. in the offender's arm,
but they were wrong.

And how will tonight's
execution be different?

We will do a better job
hydrating Mr. Fornum

and using warm compresses
to raise his veins.

And we will place
the I.V. in his foot.

And you didn't do this
the last time?

We would've.

But the execution was halted.
And I didn't supervise it.

So, you weren't present
during the last attempt?

Not all the time.

We had a late arrival
of potassium chloride.

We've had difficulties with the
supply of this drug in the past,

so I supervised and
witnessed its removal

from an overnight
pouch and placement

in the intravenous tubing.

However, we will have
greater control...

What?

I've ordered the staff...

This court seems to be all
Eddie Alan Fornum all the time.

Yes, His Honor Manfreddi

referred this death row appeal
to your court, Your Honor,

um...

given that you were
already hearing

the Eighth Amendment appeal.

Lucky me. All right.

So you're ten hours away
from an execution.

What do you got for me?

We'd like to call a witness.

You testified at
Edward Alan Fornum's trial?

Yes.

And you testified

that he confessed
to the double murder?

Yes.

And you would like to now
withdraw that testimony?

- Yes.
- As far as you know,

Eddie Fornum is innocent?

Yes.

And you received the information
to condemn him

from the brother of

that woman there...
Leslie Munn?

- Yes.
- Is there anything else

you would like to say?

No.

You know, I didn't plan
on judging this appeal,

but you bring me that snitch
who changes his testimony

after almost a decade?

Now...
Now I'm sorry,

Ms. Lockhart, I'm sorry,

but, uh, an appeal
of actual innocence

after years
of appeals and decisions

and-and delays has to stand on

much more ground than
an indecisive snitch.

- Your Honor...
- No.

At a certain point,

it has to be over,
judgments must stand.

God forgive me...

I find for the state.

Execution will proceed.

Eddie, I need you to stand.

Eddie, please.

Place your hands out
in front of you.

Turn around, please.

You know the way, Eddie.

You wanted to see me, Mr. Gold?

Oh, yes. Hi, Marilyn.

- How are you?
- Good.

I think we're off to a great start,
don't you think?

I do, I do.

And I have some good news.

Peter wants to promote you
to the Transit Authority...

Board.

I...

I'm sorry, what?

Yes, uh, an opening has

opened up
on the Transit Authority Board,

uh, where you will have authority...
over transit.

It's a step up.

Congratulations.

- Did I do something wrong?
- No, you did something right.

It's a promotion.

No, Marilyn.

Peter promoted you.

If he'd wanted to tell you
that himself, he would have.

You guys are making a mistake.

Maybe.

You have a good evening.

How did it go?

Well.

She took it like a pro.

She's right, you know,
we need a new chief of staff.

She's not right, she's anal.

Well, anal's what we need
right now.

Did I just say that?

Yes.

Our new state motto?

I'll make up a list.

Why don't you do it?

What? Be chief of staff?

But I...

I'm working on
your next campaign, sir.

My next campaign is here
in this office.

I screw that up,
there's nowhere to go but down.

You going tonight?

No.

We did everything we could.

Not everything.

We want to put an I.V.
in early, Eddie,

so there isn't the same confusion
at midnight.

Tell us if you feel any pain.

You should feel
a small pinprick as we attempt

to put in the I.V.

The monitor you see
above your ankle is a VeinMapper.

It uses ultraviolet imaging
to help find veins.

Okay, the pain should be over
in a minute, Eddie.

Warden, excuse me.

- What?
- There's somebody out here for you.

I'll be right back with you, Eddie.

Excuse me.

We're in the midst of a protocol.
What is it?

Yes, our apologies, sir.

My name is Agent Lionel Franklin
from the South Bend office

of the Drug Enforcement Administration.

It's come to our attention
that you've transported

toxic chemicals
through the U.S. Postal Service.

Are you serious?

It's a direct violation
of 49 U.S.C. 5101.

Have you transported
any such chemicals?

We use potassium
chloride in our L.I. protocol,

and, yes, we transferred it
by overnight post.

I'm gonna have to
confiscate those chemicals.

The governor has put
the execution on hold, Eddie.

They don't want
to try a third time.

It's over, Eddie.

Thank you. Thank you.

Good work.

Thanks.

Were you the one
who called the DEA?

Now, what would
make you think that?

It was a smart move.

Have some?

Will?

I need to tell you something.

No, you don't, Alicia.

Look, I know why you didn't call,
and it's okay.

We were on a merry-go-round
and we needed to get off,

so we're off.

That's all.

Don't end up hating me.

What?

Nothing. Have a good night.

Are you sure
you don't want some?

No, I'm good.
