The Good Wife (2009–2016): Season 6, Episode 21 - Don't Fail - full transcript

Um...

Take your time.

Do you have to get that?

It might be my campaign office.

Hello.

Hello?

Hi, mrs. Florrick.
This is michael browning

From fiscal one. How are you
doing today... pretty good?

I'm not interested, thank you.

Do you know
you might be paying more

In monthly credit fees
than you should be?



Thank you. Good-bye.
Sizable sav...

Everything
all right?

Yes. Uh, I'm sorry, um,

What was the question again?

The names of some friends
I can interview?

Just to get a fuller picture?

Can I have a think on that?

Sure. Um, why
don't we turn to...

Will gardner?

I think it might be a nice
place to start your memoir.

A brush with violence, you
know? And then we go back

To when you got
started in the law.

I'm just trying

To find a
structure here.



Hello.

Woman: Hello, mrs. Florrick,
how are you doing today?

Thank you, I'm not interested.

I am calling from
the cancer prevention league.

Thank you, good-bye.

glimpse of fail-safe

Grace.
Hi, how was school?

Good. M-mom, what are you doing?
Nothing.

I just thought we'd grab
some pizza tonight.

Oh, I'm just dropping off
my books. Janine's already

Downstairs. I have college prep tonight.
Oh, right, I forgot.

I'm gonna grab a bite
beforehand. I'll be back

By 11:00.
Okay. Love you.

Oh, and there's a package
by the door. Love you, too.

I left the game to play you

at the tail end

there's gold
in those hills ahead

have to get used to it

Hello, mrs. Solomon.

I wanted to thank you

For your $345 contribution.

Thank you for your $100
contribution,

Mr. Turgensenton-tonkrenlun.

I'm angry, too.

But I want you to know...

Well, I'm sorry
you feel that way.

you and me both, kid.

Hello, mr. Tatro?

Man: Yeah, who's this?

Uh, this is alicia florrick,
and I want...

Oh, my god. Oh, my god,
it's her. Babe, it's alicia.

Woman: What?

Uh, I wanted to call
and thank you, sir.

Man: We pretty much gave up.
I called you 30 times.

Can you do it, alicia?
C-can you help?

Uh... I'm-I'm sorry, mr. Tatro,

I think there's...
Might be some confusion here.

I'm just calling you
to thank you for your donation.

I didn't make
a donation, alicia.

I kept leaving messages
at your campaign office because

I couldn't get you at work.

Brett tatro?

Yes.

Attempted murder.
Yes.

You got me off six years ago.

I was the bouncer at the strip joint.
Yeah.

I-I'm sorry, I-I didn't
know who you were.

Alicia,

I was arrested four months ago

On first-degree murder charges.

Oh, my god,

I'm so sorry.
Yeah, well, it's the same case,

Alicia. It's the same case.

What do you mean
it's the same case?

I mean the same case
you got me off for...

They're trying me again.

They can't do that, brett.
You were found not guilty.

The man they said that I punched
in 2009, he-he just died.

They said it doesn't matter
that you got me off

For attempted murder.

I can now be tried for murder.

Alicia, I... I need your help.

Brett, I...

Let me get you the name
of a good lawyer.

No, wait, no, you're a good lawyer.
No. I-I mean,

Yes, but I'm not
practicing law anymore.

Alicia, I'm going
to court tomorrow.

Just... Just come by
and observe?

I have a good lawyer
for you, brett.

Let me talk to him,
I will call you back.

Wow.

Are we incognito?

We are. Laying low.
Thanks for coming.

No problem.

So this case...
it's an old client.

It's really unjust.

After six years, they're
going after him for murder.

I don't know if I can take
the work load, alicia.

I'm deep in two mail
fraud trials right now.

But you
should do it.

Oh, no. I...

I'd do more harm than good.

What? Why?

Um, because I'm busy
with this memoir, and...

And...
I'm... Well, I'm having...

A crisis of confidence, and
it's taking up all my time.

I see. So it
probably wouldn't help

To tell you to get back
on the horse, then?

It's just different
when you're embarrassed

And everyone's staring at you.

For what?

The election.

Well, here's the good news.

You're not that important.

People aren't
staring at you. People

Are way too busy getting
on with their lives, okay?

So... Do it.

Help this guy. He
needs your help.

Stop thinking about
yourself, and

Think about him.

I can't take another failure.

Mm.

Oh, well, then
don't fail.

We asked for the record...
The defense would like...

...Of the earlier trial.
...The transcripts. If I

Could finish...
your honor,

This is a travesty.
The defense attorney is arguing

Double jeopardy, but

Mr. Tatro is not
being accused

Of the same crime.
Your honor, if I could speak.

In 2009 we needed
to prove that mr. Tatro

Had a specific intent to kill mr.
Jeffrey garrix. And they failed.

They did not... But now the charge is
first- degree murder, and we don't

Need to prove intent.
This is an injustice. My father

Is a... Excuse me.
My-my client is a father

Of three. He's not a criminal. I can't
see what that has to do with the charge,

Your honor. In 2009,
mr. Tatro viciously

And repeatedly punched
and kicked a young man,

Putting him into a coma.
A coma he recovered from.

And now that young man has died

Due to those
injuries in 2009.

Okay, thank you both.

Is this your first
criminal trial, ms. Audrey?

It is, your honor. But it
doesn't have to be

If you rule against
the prosecution.

Unfortunately, asa brody
is right on the law.

This is not double jeopardy.
So we'll commence

Pretrial motions tomorrow.

Oh, alicia.
Thank you.

I'm just here to check it out,
brett, that's all.

Uh, you remember my wife josie?
Oh,

Yes, hi. I didn't know
you got married.

Five years ago.

Three little girls.
They're adorable.

Wouldn't even exist
if you hadn't gotten me off.

Can you believe I'd be halfway
through my sentence right now?

Six years into a 12-year sentence.
What did you think about amber?

Your lawyer? Good.

She's a little nervous.
She couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Well, matan can be rough
on new lawyers.

He was that way with me.

I was just as nervous.

But you won.

Matan:
Alicia.

Excuse me for a minute.

I didn't know you were
on this, alicia.

I'm just here observing,
that's all.

It should be more interesting
this time around.

Not so easy to win.
Really? Why's that?

There's a hole in your case.

A hole? What hole?

you know, hey,

Sorry about the election.

People can be mean at first,
but they'll forget soon enough.

A few months, it'll be like
it never happened.

Just like peter.

Okay, let's get started.

Alicia?
Hi, how are you?

Good,

Actually, thank you.

Uh, this is a business call.

What business?

Do you remember brett tatro?

Attempted murder.
We fought it our first year.

He called here a few times,
but we don't

Take cases like that anymore.

Well, I need, uh,
the file on the case. Uh,

I don't want
to go through david lee

And deal with the usual hassle.

Are you representing him,
alicia?

I am.

Well, that's...

That's... That's great.

Sure, I'll get the files over.
Where?

Oh, just to my apartment.

Oh. Right.
You... Your apartment.

And, cary,

Do you remember if there was
a hole in that case?

Anything we missed
in the defense?

No, but it was
a long time ago. Why?

Matan seems to think there's
a hole he can exploit. Well,

My guess is you'll
find it in the files.

We were completists back then.

Took notes on everything.

Thanks.

ready to bolt

at the first glimpse
of fail-safe

signing my checks
with a name

that's not mine

clocking the hours
that spin round

through the tail end

there's gold
in those hills ahead

we both had a hand in it

you and me both, kid

you and me both, kid

you and me both, kid...

Alicia: Sorry,
do you mind if I record this?

I just don't
want to miss anything.

Brett:
Uh, no. Sure, sure.

So how's this work again?

Alicia:
Well,

Stern, lockhart & gardner
offer a certain number

Of associate hours
to pro bono cases like yours.

Free of charge.
Well, I didn't do it.

I didn't beat that guy up.

Alicia: Jeff garrix?
Brett: Yeah, him.

I didn't lay a hand on him.

Alicia:
Um, where did you meet him?

Was it at the nightclub?
No, it was, uh, it was earlier than that.

Dakota had a bachelor party
at the sheraton. 12 guests.

Alicia: Jeff garrix was there?
Brett: Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am,

He thought that they had paid
for topless and bottomless,

So I had to explain to him the rules.
Alicia: And he got angry?

Yeah. Silly college kid.
So

Then he followed you back
to the pink sapphire?

Brett: Yeah,
dakota left behind some business cards.

Alicia: And that's where you
got in the fight with him

In the parking lot?
Brett: Nah, nah,

I wasn't in the parking lot.

The police said they
arrested you for fighting him

In the parking lot.
Yeah, I mean, I know. But like

I told them,
I wasn't there.

Well, where were you?

I was with lexie.

Alicia: The tape recorder is just
to aid me in my note-taking.

Lexie:
Sure. Anything you need.

You want some water?
No, thank you.

So, um...

...You were with brett
during the fight?

Oh, yeah. In my
dressing room.

I wasn't feeling
so good that night.

So...

You're that lady with
the husband, right?

Alicia:
That's kind of vague.

Lexie:
Yeah, um, I mean

The guy in jail.
With the prostitutes.

I am.

I thought that was
pretty cool...

You standing
by him.

Thank you.
So, anything else, lexie?

Anything
about brett?

Just that he's innocent.

And you'll testify to that?
Definitely.

It's my du...

Alicia: Now, brett,
if you weren't in the parking lot fight,

How did you get these
bruises on your face?

All right, from-from
jeff garrix.

But at the sheraton.

We got in a fight over whether
he had just topless or not.

Diane:
Alicia,

Do you have a moment?

Alicia:
Yes, of course.

Thank you, mr...

Diane:
You've probably noticed

A lot of this firm
is about cooperation.

We're a family here,
and we like to work together.

Now, I know you two
are in competition,

And competition is
always a healthy thing,

But I want you to work on
this pro bono case together.

The brett tatro case.
I'm already

Deep into it, ms. Lockhart.

Yes, and cary will be
your second chair.

Use him as your
stalking horse.

That's how we
improve. Okay?

Is there anything
either of you want to say?

No.

All good.
Same here.

You take
the other bouncer... daniel.

Yeah, I'll take
jeff garrix, too.

He won't talk
to the defense.

He might...
If it's the right defense.

Garrix:
My lawyer told me not to talk to you.

Said you'd just try and distort
what I say in court.

Kalinda: Well,
do I look like someone who would do that?

So, how are your legs?

It's my spine. Your client
kicked me in the back,

Almost crippled me
for life.

What's your name?

Kalinda.
Kalinda what?

Kalinda none
of your business.

Brett tatro said
that you also had an encounter

At the sheraton
prior to the parking lot.

Oh, really?
How convenient for him.

He has to explain away
his bruises somehow.

So you're saying there was no
fight earlier in the evening?

I wasn't even
in the room with him.

It was a suite.

Some of us were watching
football in the bedroom.

Man: We don't really allow
bachelor parties in here anymore.

It was one of the last ones.
Because of the fight?

And all the noise.
The guests complained.

I had to come down here
and send them out,

And told them to go
to their strip joint,

If that's really what
they wanted to do.

Where's the tv?

We don't have one in here

While we're switching
to flat screen.

Cary:
Was there a tv in here

On the night
of the bachelor party?

Man:
No.

Garrix couldn't have been
watching football on tv,

Because there was no tv.

You're sure?

Positive.

Okay, good.

And get the stripper, too.

The one who went to the bachelor party.
Dakota.

Yeah. Get her to confirm
that there was no tv.

Good. I will.
Kalinda: Oh, and, alicia,

Write this down... 1219 berkoff.

Alicia:
Okay, got it. What is it?

It's where
I'm buying you drinks tonight.

Alicia
You don't have to do that.

I was just doing my job.

Kalinda:
8:00 p.M., 1219 berkoff.

Let go!
No!

Dakota:
Yeah, the bachelor

Party started out fine, but
it got kind of touch-and-go.

And did you see the victim,

Jeff garrix, in the bedroom?
Mm-hmm.

Was there a tv...
Was he watching a tv there?

No, 'cause there
wasn't a tv.

Cary: Okay, good, great.
And

When the bachelor party
followed you back here,

There was a fight in the parking lot, right?
Yeah.

But brett wasn't there 'cause
he was taking care

Of a sick lexie, right?

Well, I know
that's what brett said.

Are you saying
that's not true?

Well, I don't want
to hurt brett.

Let me stop you
right there, dakota.

Alicia, why don't we just...
Why don't we turn off the tape?

Cary:
Now,

I don't know what
you were gonna say, dakota,

But I want to tell you,

Brett's whole defense
is his alibi.

You, of course, should
testify to the truth.

Just know that if you
contradict brett's alibi,

It might hurt him.

You want me to say

Brett's telling the truth?
No.

I want you to be careful

In your understanding
of what you might say.

Alicia:
Cary, you can't do that.

Do what?
Tell her to lie.

I didn't tell
her to lie.

I told her about
the consequences

Of her actions,
that's all.

Oh, come on.
Are you serious?

She was about
to contradict brett's alibi.

We don't know that.

This is not the way
I want to practice the law.

Oh, what, you
mean successfully?

So, what if
the prosecution gets to her?

They won't.

We have an
alibi witness.

That's all we need.

There's the hole.

It's not dakota anymore.

It's dani.
Sorry, dani.

I just have
a few questions.

Not pink.

What is she, a wedding cake?

You're doing very well.
Yeah.

Saved up my money
from those two years dancing.

By the way, no one here knows
that I used to do that,

So let's keep
it quiet?

What do you need?

You know brett's
being prosecuted again?

I heard. I'm sorry.

Has the prosecution
approached you about that night?

No. Why? Will they?

They might. They think there
was a hole in our last defense.

And I know you had some...

Hesitation about
brett's alibi.

You're wondering
if I'll contradict his alibi?

No, I just want
to lay out the consequences

For contradicting brett
and lexie's alibi.

Don't worry
about it.

I see no upside
to dredging up my past

In any shape or form.

Give me a minute, will you?

Of course, dakot... Dani.

Here's the thing.

I may not be a problem,
but did you hear about lexie?

No. What?

She died...
Four years ago.

Drug overdose.
Really sad.

Maybe that's the hole
in the defense.

Matan:
I'll drop the charge to second-degree.

That's the lowest I'll go.
Come on.

The victim could have died

For any one
in a million reasons.

32 years old, he dies
from a brain hemorrhage

Doctors can tie directly
to that fight in 2009.

Matan, you lost six years ago.
Get over it.

I have a stronger case this time.
Because lexie's dead?

I don't need lexie.

I have her testimony from 2009.

Then reject my deal.

What do you have, matan?

What I have is some advice
for you.

You go to trial, you'll lose.

That's first-degree
murder, 20 years minimum,

Serving every
single day.

I'll see you in court.

Amber:
Hi,

Mrs. Florrick.
I am such a fan.

I'm so glad you'll
be joining me.

Oh, thank you.
I'm glad, too.

I told my mom I'd be
working with you.

She wanted me to
get a picture.

Do you mind?
Um...

She loved how
you stood by your husband.

She wants to meet you.

Alicia:
Okay, let's

Talk strategy for a
minute, brett. Amber?

Yes. Good. Hold on.
I'm just sending this.

Okay, the whole point is
to win in pretrial motions.

If this goes to trial,
the jury can do anything.

Even if you
are innocent,

Judge dunaway
isn't my biggest fan.

So I'm gonna need you, amber,

To take some
of the motions.

I'm ready. Excited really.
How do you want to attack this?

Bailiff: All rise.
Court is now in session.

The honorable judge
dunaway presiding.

Thank you all.
You may sit.

Mr. Brody and
ms. Audrey...

Well, actually, you...
You have someone new here.

Yes, your honor.
Alicia florrick,

Asking leave of the court
to join as co-counsel.

Any objections, mr. Brody?
None, your honor.

We do not hold
the recent election scandal

Against alicia florrick
at all.

Of course, that's why
you brought it up,

So it won't be held against her.

Yes, mrs. Florrick,

You are more than welcome
to join the party.

Take a seat.

Now, pretrial motions...
what do you have?

Argue for the inclusion
of the transcript now.

Your honor, the defense would
like the transcripts to be...

We ask that the record
of the earlier trial be excluded

From the records
as prejudicial, your honor.

The prosecution wants to exclude
this transcript for...

Yes, we do. The jury should have
a clean hearing of the evidence.

We're not arguing that.
They should not

Be tainted by the knowledge

Of an earlier trial.
Hold on.

Let the defense speak.

Thank you, your honor.

I'm not... Uh...

It's okay.

Take a breath.
Thank you.

The prosecution is trying
to prevent the jury

From hearing brett's alibi.

One of the witnesses has died,

And our only record
of her testimony

Is in this previous trial.

Matan: She's exactly right,
your honor.

That's exactly why we want
to exclude this transcript.

Because this witness,
a stripper named lexie bromwich,

Perjured herself
on the stand.

Do you have evidence
to that effect?

Why, I do.

Thank you,
mrs. Florrick.

Uh, daniel cain.

Uh, my occupation now is...

Not much.

Beer drinker.

Um, but I used

To work as a bouncer
at the pink sapphire.

You worked
with the defendant mr. Tatro?

Yes, I did.

Hey, brett.

Matan:
Do you have any memory

Of lexie bromwich?

Yeah, I do.

I went to her funeral.
Poor kid.

Do you have

Reason to disbelieve her
testimony from the first trial?

Yeah. She was high.

Objection.

On what grounds?

On the... Give me a sec.
Grounds?

Hearsay?

Mr. Cain, do you have
firsthand knowledge

That lexie bromwich was using
drugs on the day in question?

Yes, I do.

I saw her.

Not only that.

She testified for brett
'cause he was her dealer.

Cary: So,
you were a bodyguard with brett that night?

No. No, just afterwards.

One of these college kids
came running in...

From the bachelor party?
Right. Yeah.

He came in screaming, so I went
out to see what was going on.

It was...

Distorted voice:
Your mom won't...

Jackie:
...Mind if we use this.

Zach: I don't know.
She uses it for work.

Jackie: Well,
we have to hear what you sound like.

You ready?

Now, I'm going
to stand right here.

And remember, enunciate.

Aung san suu was born
in 1945 in rangoon.

Who's that?
That's who my speech is on.

Jackie:
What is she, persian?

Hey, alicia.
Everything all right?

Yeah, sorry to bother you.

I've run into a problem

With some of the evidence

That you dug up
on the brett tatro trial.

Cary?

Cary?

I'm sorry.
What's the problem?

Remember when

We co-chaired the trial, we had
an argument over trial strategy?

No. Alicia:
Yes.

You thought
that the jury would want someone

To blame for the beating, and
I wanted to put all the emphasis

On the alibi.

Right, right,
it was a good call. We won.

Yes, but you were
collecting evidence

On the other bouncer daniel.

You wanted to blame him.

Do you have the files on that?

Check the files I sent you.

The interview
with daniel should be in there.

Yeah, someone recorded over it.

Let me see what I have.

Zach:
At this moment, aung san suu kyi

Is still under house arrest.

That was very good.

You have a very good
speaking voice.

Thanks, grandma.

What was her
name again?

Aung san suu kyi.
Oh.

You know, your dad was
interested in people like that.

Arabs and russians

And things like that.

Like who?
Can you remember who?

Some russian guy. Um,

Vackel?
Vaclav havel?

Yes.

When he was your age,
he wanted to be like him.

Why? Can you remember why?

Oh, you know, justice.

Things like that.

You're a lot like your dad.

He wants to make things better
for people.

Zach:
I know.

Give me a hug.

He loves you, you know.

I know.

You're a good boy.

You're gonna change the world
just like your dad.

You've reached
zach's voice mail.

I'm in class right now
or sleeping it off.

Zach. Hi. It's mom.

We haven't talked in a while.

Cary. You could have
sent someone.

Yes, I could have.

Alicia:
You had all this stuff,

And you never showed it to me?

I did try to show you,

But you wanted to take the case
in another direction.

you didn't try to show me.
I did.

You always thought
I was more competitive

Than I really was.
You were competitive.

Yeah, I was.

Wow. It's a lot of work.

Oh, not really.

So, how's it going?
I don't know.

They're trying to
throw out the alibi.

You know what?

We're better lawyers now.

Makes sense.
We were young.

Yeah, but there's still
something I miss about it. What?

Looking at the law
as something good.

Do you think
it's not good?

No, I think
it's... Neutral.

Kalinda's gone.

I know.

Did you see her?

No. Did you?

She's not really one
for good-byes.

I know.

I'm sorry.

Me, too.

Well... Hope you get to use
this stuff against daniel.

It's like a director's cut.

Wouldn't mind finally
seeing it shown.

Then let's show it.

Alicia: Mr. Cain,
in a news report from 2009, you claimed

You were never in the parking
lot where the fight took place.

Is that still true?
Uh-huh.

"uh-huh," uh, meaning "yes"?

Yes.

Correct. Affirmative.
and yet,

In this crime
scene photo,

The front of your clothes seem

To be covered in blood.

So?
So, how did the blood get there?

I cradled his head in my lap.

After you hit him? No.
No, after brett hit him, or someone.

So, you were in the parking lot?

Afterward.

After the fight.
Okay.

Did you make a 911
call after the fight?

Did I? No.
Did you have possession of your cell phone?

I did. Why?

Oh, there's a record of
a 911 call from your cell phone,

But the call was terminated
before you said anything.

Dunaway: Would you like to
revise your testimony, mr. Cain?

I... Guess I called,

But the guy
was bleeding,

And I saw a lot

Of other people calling.

I... I'm not lying.

Alicia:
So it's not a strip club anymore.

No, it's a charter school.
Okay.

I need you
to get the names

Of the people
you worked with here,

A-anyone you can remember.

Why?
Well, we need another way

To establish your alibi in case
the judge rules against us.

Just anyone you can think of,
and we'll try and locate them.

What's wrong, brett?
What's going on?

Tell them.

Brett:
Just so you know,

I'm innocent. I did not touch
that kid in that parking lot.

But?

But I was in the parking lot.

But I-I didn't do this,
alicia. I didn't.

I was headed back to the car
to get something for dakota.

That's all.
To get what?

To get what?

You were her dealer?

I was a different person.

I've changed.

So you got dakota
to lie for you?

You need to help me. Please.

Please. I'm
innocent.

But we know it's perjury now.
Shh.

We know that the alibi is false.

We know that brett was
in that parking lot.

He told us so.
Yes, but we're not putting him on the stand,

So we're not suborning perjury.
Yes.

Okay, but we are allowing
dakota's testimony

To be entered into the record,
a testimony we know is false.

We have to tell the judge.
No. Listen, amber.

When we argued for
the transcript to be admitted,

We didn't know it was false.

Yes, but we do now.

Right, but that
doesn't matter.

When we argued for it yesterday,
we didn't know.

That doesn't seem right.

I know. But it's legal.

I think I have a lot to learn.

Sheriff:
All rise.

Dunaway: Thank you.
Please be seated.

I'm allowing the whole

2009 transcript into evidence...
Your honor.

Matan, you are welcome
to call your witness to testify

If we do go to trial, and,
mrs. Florrick, you're welcome

To impeach him, just like you both did here.
Your honor,

You mention
"if we do go to trial."

Will you rule on our motion
to dismiss? Our client

Was already found not guilty...
We have one more witness,

Your honor.

Evan houston.
Do you want to know

What I do now
or what I did then?

Matan: Let's try then.
Well, I worked in a gas station

Across the street from the strip
joint, the, um, pink sapphire.

Was he in the previous trial?
No.

Someone new.
And did you see that man

Over there
on the night in question?

Yeah. He was in
the parking lot.

He was beating some kid up.
Thank you, sir.

Mr. Houston,
this is your first time

Testifying against my client.

Why didn't you come forward
six years ago?

I did come forward
six years ago.

I told the police the exact
same thing I'm telling you.

What police?
A detective named hardy.

Alicia: You did?
Were you too sick to testify?

Were you out of town, sir?
No, I was here.

But the prosecution
didn't want you to testify?

Objection. Argumentative.
Let it go, matan. You may answer.

They said they didn't need me.
How did you...

I.D.

My client,
mr. Houston?

In a lineup.

I wasn't aware my client was in

A lineup.

A photo lineup.

You looked good in
there, I thought.

No. We're losing.

The judge is gonna allow this
to go to trial.

I saw him
with this new witness.

He seemed
convinced.

You know, when I was an a.S.A.,

I was told to double-check

Cases coming through
a certain detective's hands.

Why is that?

'cause he was
old-school.

If he didn't get
photo array results he liked,

He'd reshuffle the mug shots and
ask the eyewitness to try again.

Or he'd place a finger
on the suspect's photo.

How do you know that?

There was
an I.A.D. Investigation.

Inconclusive. They dropped
it about a year ago.

Who was the detective?

Hardy.

That's why matan didn't put evan
on the stand in 2009.

He was worried
about the photo array.

That would
be my guess.

Thank you.

I didn't say anything.

Alicia: Thank you for coming in,
detective hardy.

No problem. It's my job.
In what way did the eyewitness,

Evan houston, I.D. My client?

Was it by lineup or photo array?

Hardy: Photo array.
And did he identify him right away?

Hardy: Yes. You didn't need to take
him through the photos a second time

Because he was prone to misidentify?
Objection. Asked and answered.

And yet I'd like to hear
the answer a second time.

Detective?
No,

I did not take him
through a second time.

Isn't there a slang for this
in the department,

The act of running a photo array
past the witness a second time?

Yeah, might be.
I-I don't know it.

P.O.E. Process of elimination.
Fascinating.

Detective, wasn't there an
internal affairs investigation

Into your use of these photo arrays...
Objection!

Uh, I haven't even gotten
the question out yet,

Your honor.
This is disgusting.

I.A.D. Investigations are confidential.
Yes,

But I'm asking
the detective about

A specific practice
that has a crucial bearing

On this case,
his use of photo arrays.

Then ask him the question.
Don't... I am asking him the question.

Did I.A.D. Ever investigate you
for faulty photo arrays,

And is that the
only reason why

Evan houston was not included
in the first trial?

Excuse me, your honor, I want a ruling.
Was because

Evan houston
only selected

My client's photo
after being shown his photo

In two separate photo arrays.
Objection! Object-objection!

All right. Thank you.
Why don't we all calm down now?

Mrs. Florrick, you got
out your question,

Which is what
you wanted.

Matan, you registered
your disgust,

Which is what
you wanted.

Why don't you all come
up here now?

Where did you hear
of this I.A.D. Report,

Ma'am?
Your honor, if there's no public knowledge

Of an I.A.D investigation, that
means the officer was cleared.

Or there was lack of evidence.
Obviously but that's the whole point.

There was some sort of... We don't know.
Thank you.

Thank you, matan.
You might be right,

But I don't know how much I trust your
detective. Your honor, that is unfair.

It's based on rumor-mongering.
Yes,

And that is why I'm asking mrs.
Florrick how she knows this.

The way she's always known it,
through her husband

Or her law partner, cary agos.
How do you know about the I.A.D. Report,

Mrs. Florrick? And if one of them did
slip this to her, they're in trouble,

Because this work product

Is confidential.
They could be disbarred

Or be imprisoned.
Matan, stop.

Mrs. Florrick,
it's a simple question.

How do you know about
the I.A.D. Report?

I can't say, your honor.

Why can't
you say?

Because I am bound.

Well, that
is unfortunate

Because you're gonna have to
unbound yourself pretty quick,

Or you'll be found in contempt.
Sheriff.

I would like to consult
with counsel,

Your honor.

You don't want to test me,
mrs. Florrick.

I'm not testing you, your honor.

You take the night
to consult with counsel.

And come in tomorrow
prepared to answer.

Mr. Kingsley-weaver.
I'm so sorry.

Did we have a meeting today?

I thought we did, unless we got

Our wires crossed.
No. Um, I've been... Distracted.

Your daughter
let me in.

She's very sweet.
Thank you.

She showed me your pictures
in there.

All the
murder photos.

It's quite grisly.
Can you tell me about it?

It might help me
with the structure.

I... Mm.

Alicia:
But it's wrong, isn't it?

Cary basically told
the witness to lie.

She was gonna contradict
brett's alibi.

Did you tell her to lie?

No, but...
Do you believe in the client?

What do you mean?

Well, do you think that
your client's telling the truth?

I don't know
if he's telling the full truth.

Nobody ever tells
the full truth.

Ever.
God, you're such a cynic.

No,

Just... Experienced.

Look,
alicia,

Do you think that your
client beat this guy up? No.

Then it's all right for you
to do everything within the law

To defend him.

Not even all right.
It's your duty.

But is it all right to lie?

not under oath.

Okay.

Here's to experience.

Experience.

Hey.

Hey. Sorry about the mess
I left in the dining room.

That's okay.

You on a case?
I am.

That's good. You're happier
when you're on a case.

Really? Yeah,
I worry about you when you just sit at home.

I'm thinking
about starting my own firm.

What do you think about that?

But you already
started one, didn't you?

Yeah,
but this would be different.

It would be to help people
I wanted to help.

Can you make money doing that?

I don't know.

I guess we'll have to see.

I'd have to work out
of the apartment.

In the dining room?

No.

I don't know.

Turn it on its side.

Nice. Okay.
You ready?

One, two, three.
Three.

Okay.

Not bad, mom.

Yep. Back
to basics.

Hey, I could be
your secretary.

no, I could answer your phone
calls, get you coffee.

Graduate from school.

No, I have to have
an internship.

This can be it.
Yeah.

we'll see.

Hello.

Hello. Look, if
this is sales,

You'd better hang up now
or I will rip you a new one.

I'm a lawyer, and that'll be my first case.
Go, mom.

Zach: Hello, mom.
It's me. Zach.

Hi. How are you?
Good.

I got your call.
Is everything okay?

Yes. Great, in fact.
Really great.

Good. I was thinking
of coming home tomorrow night.

Oh.

Do you know
what you're gonna do?

Maybe.

If he jails me, I need
you to call cary agos.

Sure. Do you think
it'll come to that?

No idea.
Sheriff: All rise.

Mrs. Florrick. Mr. Brody.

Up here.

well, okay,
mrs. Florrick,

Have you consulted with counsel?

I have, your honor.
Are you ready to tell us

Who informed you about
this I.A.D. Investigation?

Well, first of all, your...

No "first of all."
tell me now or be held

In contempt.
Someone tried to help me, your honor.

Someone who knew
that detective hardy was...

Your honor, this is outrageous.
Yes,

It is. Mrs. Florrick,

Answer the question.
I will tell you

Who informed me
of the I.A.D. Investigation,

But I want to explain to you
why they did it.

Because justice matters
to them.

They saw an injustice
at the heart of this case,

And I think you've seen it, too,

Your honor.
Mrs. Florrick,

Who told you?

Kalinda sharma.

Oh, come on.

This is b.S., your honor.
Mrs. Florrick is mentioning

The only person who is
no longer in our jurisdiction.

I answered your question,
your honor.

I'm not sure what more the s.A...
Kalinda sharma

Fled our jurisdiction.
We cannot arrest her.

She did not do this.
It's either cary agos

Or her
husband.

I answered your question,
your honor.

Yes, you did.

Thank you, mrs. Florrick.

On the record.

As to your motion to dismiss,
I will sustain that.

Your honor...
No, matan.

You had your shot in 2009.
Let it go.

Mr. Tatro,

Your case has been
dismissed with prejudice.

Thank you. Thank you.

I'm so glad this worked out,
brett.

I want to learn from you.

no, you don't.

watching
through the moonlight

feel the softness of the air

sleeping in the shadows
of the heavens...

So...

How's your crisis
of confidence going?

Better.

I'm so glad.

I'm thinking
of starting my own firm

And only taking cases
I believe in,

And I want to know
if you'll join me.

your magic

can't change your habits,
so let's be light.
