The Good Wife (2009–2016): Season 6, Episode 1 - The Line - full transcript

Eli is pushing Alicia to run for State's Attorney and seemingly won't take no for an answer. He commissions a poll that shows she could win. Diane's proposed move from Lockhart Gardner Canning is proving to be a hot topic for Alicia and Cary. Diane proposes to bring 45 clients to Florrick Agos but wants Kalinda to come to the firm as well. More problematic is that she wants an equal vote with Alicia and Cary. At LGC Diane informs David Lee and Louis Canning that she's retiring. Everyone is thrown for a loop when Cary is arrested for abetting the transportation of nearly a kilo of heroin with the State's Attorney requesting bail of $1.3 million. Cary suspects it's related to the police trying to get to Lemond Bishop. For Bishop, it means someone in his crew is talking to the police. After the judge rules Alicia ineligible to represent Cary - also because of her link to Bishop - she turns to Diane to represent him. They're having trouble raising the bail money and when they do, the State's Attorney finds a new objection.

Alicia.

Yes?

Would you want to run
for state's attorney?

What?

Would you want to run
for state's attorney?

I...

No.

Why not?
Why not? Eli,

Are you serious?

Yes, I've been watching you
for the last five years.

You'd be perfect.



We need a woman,

And people respect you.

They like you...
I'm not a politician, eli.

But you have
political instincts.

And you're a brand.

Well, you said yourself
you want something new.

The empty-nest syndrome.

zach's gone now.

Yes, and I have
another child.

Is this about peter?

Did he tell you to ask me?

No, no.

Then, why are you doing this?

I'm nevsaying, "yes."



Because you could win.

- Hello?
- Yeah, it's me.

Nothing.
I-I think we need to talk.

We did talk.

You yelled at me.
I yelled at you.
Is it peter?

Diane called.

She wants to meet tomorrow

For breakfast
to talk over terms.

Great. What time?

No, I didn't say
that we would meet.

She wants to bring us
$38 million in business.

I don't see the downside.

Losing our culture,

Co-opting ourselves

By becoming lockhart,
florrick & agos.

So, we'll have the breakfast,

And then we'll decide if we want
to be co-opted, okay?

I'll call her, set it up.

Hey. Where are you?

Why?

'cause I want to talk.

You did talk.

can everyone just give me
a break?

Sure, maybe you should call
"everyone."

Look, I made a mistake.

Things have been a bit
out of control lately,

But I want to make it up, okay?

Coral bar.

But you'd better hurry up,
because I'm not waiting.

Good. I'll see you in ten.

Don't you dare
turn around!
Drop the keys!

Look straight ahead!
...To the ground!

You move one inch...

...Or I will put one
in the back of your head!

Get your hands
behind your back!
Move! Move!

Get your arm...
Don't you resist me!
Don't you move!

I'll break your arm!

What do you have in your pocket?

Anything that's gonna stick me?
Anything sharp?

No.
Are you sure?

Yes.
Lose the attitude.

Just a wallet.

What did I do?

Shut the hell up.
Let's go.

Yeah?

Hey! Where are you?

Uh, who is this?

Damn, kalinda, I'm offended.

You really don't know
who this is?

Sophia.

Yeah, don't sound so surprised.

Where are you?

Me? Where are you?

I am finishing up a case.

I feel like celebrating.

Keep me company?

No, thank you.

Kalinda.

I'm meeting somebody.
Who?

Somebody.

A guy.

Okay.

I can take you both on.

Where are you?

Good night, sophia.

Come on!
I'm lonely.

And horny.

Yeah. Good luck with that.

I was supposed to meet someone,
can I just...

Can I just tell them
I'll be late?

Oh, sure. I'll pull
right over.

Yeah, you want
some ice cream?

Still want to meet up?

I think
I'm gonna be sick.

Hello?

Detective?

I haven't been
given my call, yet.

I know my rights.

I've been here
six hours,

And I haven't
gotten my call.

Thank you.

Seriously?

Look, I have a sixth
amendment right

To be informed of
the charges against me.

I have the right
to an attorney.

You know who has the hardest
time getting arrested?

Lawyers.

You know why?

Because we know
our rights.
No.

You think you're
at the four seasons.

You asked for your sixth
amendment rights, it'll come,

Just not right away.
The kitchen's a little busy.

Might take a little while.

In the meantime, be patient.

We'll get to you.

This is harassment.

No, it's worse.

It's inefficiency.

Should we do this
another time?

No, let's start.

I'll fill cary in
when he gets here.

I have 45 clients I intend
to bring to florrick-agos.

I lose 12 to
lockhart/gardner.

Won't canning and david lee
come after the rest?

Not if I don't tell
them I'm leaving.

That sounds familiar.

But I have demands first.

Kalinda.

She needs to
come with me.

We have robyn.

Kalinda's better.

It's a deal-breaker.

I have to talk to cary.

They have a certain...

Relationship that
might prove difficult.

If the answer is "no,"
then I need to know right away.

I'll let you know by the end
of the day.

Good.

Here's the big one.

I expect an equal vote
with cary and you.

You can still
out-vote me two-to-one,

But I bring with
me prestige.

And 38 million.

I expect an equal vote.

I can't decide that on my own.
It'll matter to cary.

Like this meeting mattered
to him?

Alicia,

We have a chance to make this
the largest firm

In the country run by women.

Think about it.

Cary, look, if you're not
interested in our future,

Just let me know, okay?

And I'll start making decisions
on my own.

Call me by 3:00,

Or I am gathering the partners
together for a vote.

I was awake.

Okay?

You were asleep,

And I heard what
the charge was against you.

You did?

What?

Drugs.

Okay, on your feet.
Let's go.

Let's see here.

Did you guys get
any breakfast?

What the hell
did he just say?
What?

What the hell did he just
say about where to walk?

I have no idea...

You stay to the
right, jackass!

That side is
for the people,

This side is for the scum.
Do you understand me?

Just do what I do.

Let me see your hands.

It's kind of dark in there.
Inside.

Hands.

Walk.

Where's cary?

Breakfast with
you, I thought.

He didn't make it.

I'll try him
at home.

Hey.

I know you.
I didn't do anything.

This is my space.
No, no, no, no.
Wait, wait, wait.

You're a lockhart/gardner
client now.

What? No. What?

Look, do you want to make $100?

$150 cash bond,
payable on release.

let's go, let's boogie.

I hate this.
Why am I doing this?

Look, he's the son
of a top client.

Canning couldn't make it.

Here he comes.

David howell.

Mail fraud,
third offense.

Dear god. I can understand
the second time.

But the third time,
you'd think he'd catch on.

David!

How are you?
I'm david lee,

I represent your family
law business, but...

I'm supposed to give you
a message.
I've been asked to
handle your bond hearing.

There-there's a lawyer in
lockup that
it really should
be a simple matter.

Wants me to give you a message.
Look, only one of us
can talk at a time, david!

What lawyer?
Um.

Well, wait.

Uh, it starts with a "c."

Uh, craig?

Lanz.
Lanz.

Uh, no.

No. Vargas.

Uh, no.
It's something.

Uh, he's a lawyer,
and he's in lockup.

But he-- but he works
for another firm.

Cary.

Agos?

Is that the name of the lawyer?

No, lanz.

Cary lanz.

Is cary there, alicia?

No, he's not. Why?

Is there any chance
he was arrested?

Asa polmar?

Finn, it's alicia.
I need your help.

Why? What's wrong?

There's a chance my partner is
in central holding.

all right, let's go.
Who's next?

Thanks for doing
this, finn.

Alicia,
no problem.

But, ah, I don't think you're
gonna want to thank me.

Why?

I just found out I'm the asa.

On cary's case?

Yeah.

Across from me?

Yeah.

Well, this should prove
interesting.

Yeah.

Oh, thank god.

How did you know?

Kalinda.
Good. Okay.

It's a drug arrest.

That's all I know.

But the last time
I used drugs

Was the mushrooms
four years ago.

Do you have enough for bail?

I pooled the partners.

I have $500 cash.
First offense, no flight risk.

It shouldn't be a problem.

Cary agos.

No matter what,
I talk.

Well, I see we're enjoying a
visit from a special asa.

Is this some sort of
a "vip" engagement?

This is not just another
routine arrest, your honor.

Mr. Cary agos is accused
of a super x felony.

It is
a non-probationable offense

With a minimum sentence
of 15 years.

My goodness.
Smack or crack?

Heroin, your honor.

How many grams?

900 grams.

Are--
you're kidding.

And we ask that
court assign bail

In excess of $1.3 million.

...Assign bail in excess
of $1.3 million dollars.

I imagine you'd like bail set

At an amount lower
than the asa requested.

Yes, your honor.

Clearly, the state's attorney
is overreaching.

How I wish I were,
your honor,

But, in illinois, bail is tied

With the street value of the
controlled substance.

Now, on or about
may 25 of this year,

Mr. Cary agos conspired
to transport

And sell $1.3 million in...

Your honor,
mr. Agos has a clean record.

He has major ties
in the community,

And he is as far from a flight
risk as it's possible to be.

And he was an asa.

Therefore, he's subject
to retribution in jail.

And yet his
incentive to flee

Is directly tied
to the harshness

Of the sentencing guidelines.

I, therefore, will match bail
to street value.

Your honor, I will be filing
a motion to reconsider.

When you file, I
will do just that.

Bail is set at $1.3 million,

To be posted at a
hundred percent.

We will reconvene
for a preliminary hearing

In two weeks' time.

I'll gather the
partners for bail.

This has to be
about bishop.

Were you with him on may 25?

I never heard about
any drug transport.

They're going after your
legal advice, trying to suggest

That you told him
how to break the law.

You need to get to bishop
before he hears about my arrest.

He might think I'll flip.

I'm on it!

I'm on my way to see you now,
mr. Bishop.

If you could just give me
ten minutes.

Regarding?

I'd rather not say on the phone.

You know it's important,
if I'm calling you like this.

I'm picking up dylan
from school.

I-I'll meet you there!

See you in ten minutes.

Hello, florrick-agos.

Robyn, I need you to get the
partners together.

I'll be in in an hour.

Okay, is this about
the diane vote?

no.

And could you find out how much
the firm can borrow?

What do you mean?
Like, for maintenance?

We have a $600,000
line of credit.

No, cary was arrested
last night.

It's for his bail.

Oh, my god.

How much is bail?

I need you to keep this
between us, robyn...

We need to raise $1.3 million.

That's my call-waiting.

$1.3 mill...

Yes, and there are no
bail bondsmen in illinois,

So, we have to do this
on our own. I've got to go.

This is alicia.

Okay, I've slept on it,

And I'd like your permission to
poll on your campaign.

Eli.

No, there is no campaign.

I know.
That's why we have to poll.

Eli, this is not the best time.
I have to go and meet...

Look, you're not obligated
to act on...

Eli, I'm hanging up. No polling.

It won't cost you anyth...

I liked your
old office better.

This is more like
a dentist office.

We're saving money.

I thought chicago was corrupt.

Can't you just steal more?

Don't you have something else
to do today?

I told you
I was fired.

From the agency?

The juice bar.

What are you doing now?

I'm looking out the door.

Why?

I'm surveying the troops.

Is it about the intern
not wearing panties?

What?

The intern not wearing panties.

Is that why you're worried?

Which intern is not
wearing panties?

Her.

Bertha? She's a grandmother.

No, behind her.

Oh, dear god. How do you know
she's not wearing any panties?

I heard
the guys talking.

Uh-oh.

Maybe he's telling her
she has to put on panties.

"really? I have to wear panties

In the governor's
office? Are you sure?"

"for decorum's sake, yes.
If it were up to me,

You could wear
what you wanted."

"ha, ha, ha, ha."

Don't say anything. This is not
the time to be funny.

Eli, I need to talk to you.

Hello.
Hi.

This is my daughter, marissa.

Marissa, what a pleasure.

Peter.
Nice to meet you.

I voted for you.

Absentee ballot in israel.

She spent two years
with the idf.

That's impressive.

I'm gonna steal your dad

For just a second.

Um...

You asked alicia to run?

What?
My wife, alicia florrick.

You asked her to run
for state's attorney.

Jackie overheard you.

Okay, peter.
Here's the thing.

I...
No.

She's my wife.
Yeah.

And she can win.

It's not your job to be doing...

It imy job, peter.

Why do you think
I'm fighting so hard

To get a friendly face in the
state's attorney's office?

Because you have problems there.

Dig up old skeletons.
All right.

Find another "friendly face."

It's not going to be my wife.

End of story.

Thank you for seeing me,
mr. Bishop.

I'll make this fast.

Cary agos was arrested.

Who's he?

My partner,
your other lawyer.

Oh, the kid. Right.

We wanted you to hear it
from us first.

They're saying that he helped
transport $1.3 million in heroin

On may 25.

We want you to know
that we are handling this.

What's that mean?

We're putting together his bail,

And I'm representing him.

What's his bail?

$1.3 million.

Again, I want you to know

That attorney-client
privilege covers

All his dealings with you.

Not illegal dealings.

It's my considered opinion

There were no illegal dealings.

Also, cary would never make a
deal with the state's attorney.

Ever.

They're using him
to get to me.

That's why the
bail amount.

Yes.

And we're handling this.

Cary will not turn on you,
mr. Bishop.

Believe me.

Okay.

Keep me posted.

Dylan!

Over here!

If anyone has any drugs,

Or anything, in any orifice,

Now's the time to tell me.

Shoes held by the toes,
pull out your insoles. Now!

Let's go,
let's go!

Now, bang those
shoes together.

Drop your shoes,

Hold your arms out.

Put your palms
facing the ceiling.

Do not--

I repeat,
do not smudge this,

Or you will have
my full attention.

Cary agos.

Let's go.

This is your new home.

This is where you will live.

I am your landlord.

Don't make me angry.

Number five.

Hey. Five minutes.

You stood me up.

Yes.

Between having a drink with you
or spending a night in jail.

So, the charge said,
"on or about may 25"?

What happened on may 25?
You working this?

You want me working this?

Thank you.

We don't have time to gush.
Okay?

What happened?

We were worried
about losing clients...

Cary, lean in.

We were worried
about losing clients,

So I met with bishop
to see if he was happy.

That was on may 25.

Bishop alone?

No. In his kitchen,

While I was waiting before,
there were three crew members.

No, I don't-I don't think
they said their names.

They just...

One had silver teeth.
Top row.
Okay.

What did you tell them?

Nothing illegal.

You know
the charge says that

You told them
how to elude arrest

In the next drug shipment.
I didn't.

Okay, but is there any way that

Whatever you said
could have been misconstrued?

Not reasonably.

Show me your arm.

"c-block. 8-6-9..."

That's five.

Any advice?

Yeah.

Find a friend.

Thank you.

You're kidding, right?

You're retiring?

Yes, at the end
of the month.

I want to keep the general
managership until then.

After that, you can have it.

Diane...

Is retiring.

What? Why?

you're kidding.

You're forcing me out.

I'm sick of fighting.

Yes, but not so you'd retire.

Where are you going?

Nowhere.
She's retiring.

Oh. Well,

I'm sorry to hear it.

Well, it's time.

I want to have a life
with my new husband.

You will put in a good word
for us with your clients.

Yes, as long as you don't
chase them till I'm retired.

I want this to be
a dignified exit.

Oh, uh... Absolutely.

You believe her?

That she's retiring?

I don't know.

Where would she go?

I thought diane was retiring.

She is retiring--
from lockhart/gardner,

And coming here to us.

Wh-why didn't she tell us?
She's our lawyer.

Yes, and due to her

Fiduciary responsibility
to lockhart/gardner,

She can't tell you a thing...

...Including the fact that

She wants you
to follow her here,

To her new home.

Would you excuse me a second?

We can't let cary
rot in prison.

Well, what about his family?
I thought his parents were rich.

I called them. They're seeing
what they can pull together.

I mean, it's
$1.3 million.

That's a lot
of money...
Robyn...

I checked with the bank,
and it'll require borrowing

$200,000 against the firm,

And each partner needs to put
aside their yearly draw.

Okay, that's...
Oh...

Hey, guys,

This is what we do.
When one of us gets

In trouble, we...
We pull together.

Yeah.
And cary's not a flight risk.

The money, it comes back to us.

Yes, in two years, after
the case has been settled.

And in the meantime,
we go bankrupt.

And I need that draw
to pay my rent.

I mean, I'm sorry,
but...
I think you're
being selfish.

Okay. Hey.

Let's vote.

Are you a lawyer?

Yeah.

Do you need one?

Depends on how much you charge.

I'm pretty
reasonable.

What do
you need?

Yeah, I was there.

You were with
cary agos?

Bishop's lawyer?

Yeah.

This was on the
25th of may?

Around then.

That's when I was
at bishop's house.

And this lawyer, he
didn't tell you anything

About how to
break the law.

Is that
correct?
Yeah. Pretty much.

Will you testify to that?

It's for bishop, right?

Yeah.

Oh, uh,

Could you
make a list

Of the people
that were there?
In bishop's kitchen?

Mm-hmm.
Sure.

Excuse me.

Kalinda.

You can't do that.

Do what, sir?

Talk to my guys.

Not without my permission.

May I have your
permission?
No.

This is to help cary agos.

I understand
that.

No.

If it helps cary,
it helps you.

Because cary threatens me.

No.

Because cary had
a private meeting

With three members
of your crew,

And suddenly
he's under arrest.

Someone is collaborating
with the police.

If that's true...

I'll handle it.

I'm going to say this
very carefully,

So you understand.

I don't want you to pursue

This line of investigation.

Do you
understand?

Yeah.

Good.

Good talking to you.

These represent
our most recent numbers

On the state's attorney race.

We focused on
the top three candidates.

In a hypothetical race between
the current state's attorney,

James castro, and the governor's
wife, alicia florrick,

Mrs. Florrick would
win by eight points.

Margin of error?

Three points.

How many people were sampled?

Oh, just ignore her.
It's my daughter.

Just ignore me.

4,000 likely voters.
Landlines

And cell phones.

Mrs. Florrick
is well-liked among

Female voters, liberal
and conservative.

That's very
unusual.

Older female voters liked that
she stood by her husband;

Younger, that she started
her own business.

You needed me, mr. Gold?

Actually, nora

Needed to talk
to you.

No, I don't.

Yes, you do.

You-you said you needed
to ask lauren a question.

Could you give
us a second?

I can't ask her.
It's sexual harassment.

But asking me to ask her
isn't sexual harassment?

- Oh, dear god.
- Come on, nora.

You can bring up panties
in a much more efficient

And less offensive
way than I can.
Oh, really?

Why do you want to know what
she's got going on under there?

Are you wearing panties?

What?

Are you wearing panties?

Some of the office workers

Are saying you're not wearing

Panties.

Does that answer your question?

Bonita, I need you
to do another poll--

This one about the governor.

Personal or
professional?

Personal.

Your son could stay
in prison for a year, sir.

A full year, awaiting trial...

Okay.

Yes.

Thank you.

He can go as high as $8,000.

You're kidding. I thought
his dad was a lobbyist.

He said it's a bad time of year.

Okay.

We have 100 from the firm.

Eight from the family.

Cary has 200 saved.

We're $975,000 away.

We're a million away.
No.

I have $15,000 in savings, and
my parents loaned me $10,000.

Robyn...

You can't.
Well, of
course I can.

Cary would do the same for me.

We're still

$975,000 short.

Who are you
calling, bishop?

No.

Hi, moira.
It's alicia.

I was wondering if
you had any time today.

I wanted to talk
about my condo.

Possibly taking out
a second mortgage.

Hey, it's only money.

Alicia? Judge karpman's

Office is calling.
You're needed in court.

That's bond court.

The judge is hearing my motion
to reconsider on bail.

Moira?

I'm gonna have
to call you back, okay?

Thanks.

Here we go again.

Maybe you can raise the bail
to $3 million this time.

Why didn't I
think of that?

Ah, counselors.

I understand that
you wish to review

The cary agos
situation.

Is that right,
asa polmar?

Uh, actually,
your honor,

I made a motion to reduce
the bail amount...
Yes.

And your motion was denied.
Mr. Polmar?

Yes, your honor.

Mrs. Florrick works as
cary agos's partner,

But she also represents
lemond bishop,

A drug dealer complicit
in this matter.

So you wish to disqualify
her as his representative?

Yes, your honor.

Your honor,
cary agos

Chose me as
his lawyer

And has waived
all concerns

About conflict
of interests...

Yes, but the court has not.

The prosecution's
motion is granted.

Wow, I didn't
see that coming.

Well, you should
be honored.

I didn't want to go
up against you.

Is this about your sister?

Is what about
my sister?
This drug case.

Is it about your
sister's overdose?

Yeah, 'cause that's
what I need is a motive

To bring down the top
drug dealer in town.

Cary agos isn't the top
drug dealer in town.

No, but he's enabled the
top drug dealer in town.

As have I.

Is this gonna get in the way
of a friendship, alicia?

I hope not.
Good.

I don't
want it to.

Neither do I.

My apologies.

Okay.

I need you to represent cary.

He was
arrested.

One of bishop's
crew is claiming

That he told them
how to avoid detection

On a drug
shipment.

How large was
the shipment?

$1.3 million
in heroin.

That's not good.

Uh... Wait,
it's not good for cary,

Or it's not good for us?
Both.

My clients won't like to see

My new name partner
under arrest.
He was
arrested

Because he was fighting
for his client.

He puts his life
on the line for them.

Okay.

She's going with florrick-agos.

No, too small
potatoes.

Ah, it fits diane's
romantic soul.

Then there's
an opportunity.

What would that be?

Cary agos was arrested
a few days ago.

A drug charge.

Oh.

I, uh,
I need your help, kalinda.

Cary's been arrested.

I know.

Oh.

It has to do with bishop.

You knew that, too.

I did.

Okay, so you need to talk

To the other people
in bishop's crew,

Find out who was in
this meeting with cary?

Look, bishop doesn't want us

To talk to any of his crew.

He wants us to defend cary
in another way.

Look, I have an idea,

But I'll get back to you
when I have more, okay?

Hey!

Kalinda.

Hey.

what?

Oh, come on, I'm just
giving the boys

Something to
fantasize about.

What's up?
What do you need me for?

Why did you call me
Thursday night?

Why did I call you?

I think I made that
pretty clear.

The first time
in three years,

You just decide
to call me?

Yeah.
At the exact
moment

Cary agos was being arrested?

You're working with the police.

You knew about the arrest,

And you knew
I'd get picked up, too,

So you kept me occupied.

Look, I didn't want you to get
swept up in all that crap.

What evidence have they
got against cary?
What evidence? Why?

Is there someone undercover
in bishop's crew?

And what makes
you think

Even if I knew
I'd tell you?

Because you could
get into trouble

With your
p.I. Firm

For warning me
about the arrest.

Really?
Mm-hmm.

After I help you, keep you safe,

Out of the goodness of my heart,

You're gonna use
that against me?

Who's the c.I.
In bishop's crew?

Hello.

Eli.

I'm surprised. How are you?

Good.
Good, mr. State's attorney.

I have some great news for you.

The governor has reconsidered.

He wants to endorse you.

Well, that is music to my ears.

When did
that happen?
Shh.

There's just one thing

I need you to do for me, james.

Peter's a proud man.

You'll need to ask him again.

Why?

He can't be seen
reversing himself

Without you making some effort.

I'm not going to kiss
the ring again, eli.

I know, you don't have to.

I'll arrange for a meeting
tomorrow afternoon.

Trust me, it's just a formality.

I'll see
you then.

Okay. Huh?

Your father's
a smart man.

How'd your
preliminary go?

Well, I told the public
defender what you said.

He said he'd try it.
Thanks.

Hey,

Sometimes the law
is nothing more

Than calling
another man's bluff.

Well, you could help me
with something else, cary.

What?

Bishop.

He wants me to cut
your finger off.

I told him you were okay,
I didn't need to.

You knew who your friends were.

I do.

Yeah, so that's
why I'm here.

To remind you.

I mean, you talk to the sa,

You ask about any kind of deal,

You're dead.

You understand?

I do, I do. I do.

Good. Now-now, I have
to do this, all right?

You fell down against the
bars and you cut yourself.

What?
Even to your lawyer,

That's what you say.
You fell down

Against the bars,
you cut yourself.

You're not sure how.

Just yell "guard."

What?

It's a test, all right?

Bishop wants to help you,

But he needs to know
you understand.

So, count to four,

And yell "guard."

I-I-I...

Guard...

Guard!

I just fell down.
It's nothing serious.

You cut yourself
falling down?

A... Against the bars. Yeah.

Cary, are you being intimidated?

Because we can
get you transferred.

No, everything is good.

What else do you have?

Well, we want to win this

In preliminary hearing,
but we don't know

What the state's attorney has.
And bail?

We're working on it.

How much does
florrick-agos have?

A portion.

Ask my dad.

I hate asking him,
but he might come up

With the rest.

You already tried him?
No, no.

I'll give him a call.

Okay.

Did the dad
offer anything?

$8,000.

I'll see what I
can come up with.

...A thousand registered cook
county voters all considered

Likely voters,
castro polled better

Than your three alternates--
jenlowe, hart and barnwright.

How much better?

12 to 14 points.

Did you try any
other names?

What?

Your wife, mr. Governor.
Eli, I said no.

The poll was already
in the works.
I don't care. She's not running.

You don't want
to hear the results?

I can guess. She did well.

She's a brand. So what?

She polled eight points

Higher than castro.

She beat him in
every demographic.

We polled every political
name against castro.

And she's the only one who won.

Handedly.

And her favorables, bonita?

They're at 80%. She's the most
popular name in chicago.

Well, because she's
not in politics.

Put her in politics,

And she becomes a politician.

People hate politicians.

Bonita, would you
step out for a second?

Peter, I am your chief of staff.

It is my job is to keep you
from being hit

By the knowns and the unknowns.

What are the unknowns?

Your intern not wearing
any panties.

You're kidding, right?

Your intern

Comes to work sans panties.

And lifts her dress up
in the middle of work.

Well, hell, eli,
tell her not to.

It's lauren, peter.
Your intern.

The one you won't let me fire.

I told you not to fire her.

I didn't tell you to let her run
around like a cat in heat.

I have no control over someone
I can't fire! Someone you're...

Look, what does this have to do
with alicia running?

I did scandal polling.

Dear god!
Using all fictitious names.

The possibility of you surviving
another sexual scandal

If alicia doesn't
stand beside you.

You know what? This is sick.
What's sick

Is that I'm the one trying
to keep alicia on board.
Yes.

Because you're
not married to her.

Exactly!

Castro wants to meet.

What?

Castro wants to make another
case for your endorsement.

He pleaded with me
for a meeting.

If we're not having alicia run,

You should listen to him.

Alicia, you have
a few clients here...

Diane said that

She'd kick in some
money for cary's bail.

We need to call
her and get her...

Alicia, wait.

Bishop is here.

What? Why?

Mr. Bishop, hello.

Uh, you should've called.

Is everything all right?

Yes. Thank you.

I'm here to have
a general conversation

About my business holdings.

Okay. I'm-I'm not...

How can I help you with that?
Actually...

Why don't I wait here
while you deal

With the gentleman at your desk?

Okay.

Mr. Roja, hello.

How can I help you?

Yes. Uh, we've met before,
mrs. Florrick.

I own a string of businesses,
which includes

Dry cleaners and health clubs.

Yes. I know.

I...

Have decided to pay

Your partner's bail.

You decided?

This is, uh...

1.5 mill.

That should cover the bail.

The bail is 1.3.

Okay, uh...

Okay...

1.3 million.

I would suggest
that you take that

To the bank
and get a cashier's check.

Excuse me.

Just so you know.

I was here to talk over
my business holdings.

I had nothing to do with
mr. Roja's business.

Do we understand each other?

Yes.

Well, why don't I let
you two talk?

So...

You want my endorsement?

Actually I was told

That you had had a
change of heart.

So, what does this do?

Peter thinks castro
wants the meeting.

Castro thinks peter
wants the meeting.

They're both prideful and...

I want to learn your job.

No, you don't.

I think I'd be good at it.

Absolutely ridiculous!

Thanks a lot, eli.

Everything all right,
mr. Governor?

Um...

Find out if alicia wants to run.

Look, all I know
is diane is retiring.

We just think you should know
something about florrick-agos.

Cary agos was arrested

On a drug charge.

What?

Florrick-agos is
an outlaw firm.

We advise you to stay with
a family law firm like...

Lockhart/gardner/canning.

Nice offices, kalinda.

It's very impressive.

Can I have some
bottled water?

How about some ice?

How about you tell me
who the c.I. Is.

I can't.

Okay.

Who is that?
Your boss.

I'm telling him you warned me
off so I wouldn't be arrested.

That'd be a bitchy
thing to do.

Hi. Can I speak
to mr. Redmond, please?

If you want me
to help you,

Hang up the phone.

I can't tell you
who the c.I. Is.

Kalinda, you would tell bishop.

Bishop would have him killed.

But there is a c.I.?

Your friend, cary?

He's guilty.

He's going away
for 20 years.

Guilty of what?

He told bishop's crew
how to avoid

Getting arrested
for the latest shipment.

That's conspiracy.
That's according to a c.I.

a c.I. Who has reason to lie.

No, it's not.
It's according to this.

There's a recording.

- 1.3 million in bail.
- I should frame this.

Yeah. I know.
I felt the same way.

As you can see, your honor,
as angering as the defense has

Found this extortionist
bail, we have met it.

Cary agos should be released.
Yes. That seems clear.

Unless there's anything
further, asa?

Asa polmar?

What's he doing?
I don't know.

Your honor, we object to
these funds and we...

What? You object?
Yeah, and we ask
for a source of funds hearing.

Your honor, this is
a delaying tactic.

We believe these funds are
derived from drug sales,

Your honor, the very charge
against the defendant.

You believe? An innocent man
is being held in holding.

The defendant has been
charged with conspiracy

To transport drugs.
We would argue

That this bail money is
a pay off for that action.

It is money derived from a drug
dealer protecting his own.

There are so
many suppositions

In that argument,
your honor, I don't

Even know where to begin.
Well, why don't we begin

With a source of funds hearing?

Excuse me! No, no!

No, no, no! Both of you,

Step back behind the bar.

Behind the bar.

Given the size of
this bail posting,

I will schedule
a source of funds hearing

One week from today.

In the meantime, we ask

That mr. Agos be released,
your honor.

Mr. Agos will remain
as our guest

Until we can establish
that these funds did not come

From the sale of drugs.

Is it from bishop?

Not specifically.

Cary, we'll get you out soon!

Stay safe!

Stay to the right!

Keep your eyes down!

Eight bodies moving!

Hey!

Kalinda?

Hey!

What did I just tell you?

I told you to keep
your eyes down!

You understand me?
Do you understand me?!

I understand.
