The Good Wife (2009–2016): Season 7, Episode 18 - Unmanned - full transcript

So, Greek Orthodox, huh?

- I'm just curious.
- Yep.

For how long?

Long time.

Your parents?

Yeah, I have parents.

Were your parents Greek Orthodox?

Yeah.

So you believe in God?

Yep.

You believe he's watching us now?



- Yeah.
- So you believe

this is fornication.

First two were.

The last one... I don't
know what I would call that.

Does it bother you?

A bit.

Oh, no.

This fallen woman is dragging you down.

You know what's weird?

I'm more judgmental about
my daughter's Christianity

than yours. Why is that?

I don't know.

You're a bad person.

I don't want you to feel
like you're doing wrong



when you're with me.

Yeah, you do.

Yeah, I guess I do.

What time is it?

It is ten after 9:00.

It's probably Diane.

Yep.

Hey, Diane.

Yes.

Okay. I'll see you there.

Court?

Yeah. Another Dipple case.

Privacy this time.

- Mm.
- Don't get up.

I want to picture you in my bed.

All day.

Just eating bonbons,
watching daytime TV.

You have a nice day, dear.

This is the footage

taken from Ms. Hamm's drone?

Yes, that's my understanding.

And that, that is your
house right there, isn't it?

Yes. 1547 Oakmont.

Did you grant permission
for the drone to fly over it?

No. Absolutely not.

And how often does it do that?

Every day. Sometimes
several times a day,

at unpredictable times.

It has to be unpredictable.

That's the basic principle
of security sweeps.

Ms. Hamm, please.

Your lawyer will argue for you.

And, uh, why is the drone such

- a problem for you?
- Well, it's my business.

I'm a therapist. I
practice out of my house.

And do your patients complain?

Yes. Some have even quit.

They depend on me for
privacy and they get this...

- surveillance.
- And that is why you're suing

- the owner of the drone?
- Yes.

Her drone has led to my business losses.

Thank you. Nothing more.

- Look at her.
- Do patients

- park in your garage, Dr. Nachmann?
- My garage?

No. I turned that into my office.

I see. Then do patients
enter your garage office

through a covered walkway?

No.

So they park on the street, then walk

up to your house, where anyone

who happens to be around could see them?

- Yes.
- How is that different

from being observed by a drone?

Well, I guess you expect it
from someone on the street

but not from the sky.

And how much are you
suing my client for, sir?

$300,000.

And yet you have

two top partners at your table.

Objection, Your Honor.

I haven't even gotten
to my question yet.

Why don't we wait till
she gets to her question,

then I'll sustain.

I used to work for
their firm, Your Honor.

And this case wouldn't
even be considered

- unless there was an ulterior motive.
- Objection, Your Honor.

- That has nothing to do with this case.
- But it does, Your Honor.

This case is a fiction. It
is a trial balloon sent up

by Reese Dipple, a
reactionary billionaire

- who thinks that we are out to take...
- Your Honor, she is trying

- their guns, their Christmases,
- to play to your bias.

- and the sanctity of their homes.
- Yes. And yet...

we have to deal with
the case in front of us.

I agree.

I just wish the plaintiffs
were more honest.

Well, this is a surprise.

- When did you come back to the law?
- A month ago.

Zoe started nursery school.

- Is that your daughter?
- Yes.

Oh, my God, she's beautiful.

So you're happy?

I am.

And you're good in court.

How did you know it was Dipple?

It was a guess.

Two partners on this
case, it made no sense.

I learned from the best.

Is my wife here?

She's in court.

You're her investigator?

Yeah.

We are still married.

I'll get my things.

Yeah, that would be good.

How long has this been going on?

That's a question for Alicia.

Does Grace know?

Again...

Alicia.

You're in my way.

You're screwing my wife

and I'm in your way?

At the moment, yes.

I should kick your ass.

You could try.

And then what?

One Goji-gasm with a virility boost!

Good luck with that.

I know who you are.

And I know who you are.

So we can skip the part where
you pretend you want to date me.

What can I help you with, sir?

You can help me put
Peter Florrick in jail.

How 'bout a Super-C Quencher instead?

Well, I can subpoena you to
testify against your father.

Okay, here's the thing: I am nobody.

My last five jobs, I
needed to wear name tags.

I live with three roommates,
and one is a squatter.

This has nothing to do with
me. So you and your little...

FBI friend should take
your show somewhere else.

"Judge Schakowsky won't be a problem.”

"How can you be sure" "He
owes me. He'd be in jail

right now on bribery charges
if I hadn't warned him"

Hi, this is Marissa from the juice bar.

We need mall security.
There's a man here

harassing employees,
who refuses to leave.

I want you to give your father a message

- from me, Ms. Gold.
- I don't know. Let me ask him.

- How tall are you?
- Tell him he has two choices.

He can testify against Peter Florrick,

or I can use your
testimony to put him in jail

for obstruction of justice.

Looks like 5-11,

dark hair, kind of a
mean look in his eye.

Wait, I think he's leaving.

Thanks.

Howard!

How can I be of service?

We need you to move offices.

Why? I like this office.

It's close to the bathroom.

- You're emeritus, Howard.
- And this is

a high profile, very visible space.

Where clients can get
a good look at your...

your work ethic.

We have a space on the 27th floor.

- It's all arranged.
- 27th floor?

That's for losers.

This isn't a negotiation, Howard.

And who, uh, may I ask,
am I being evicted for?

Alicia.

Alicia. Of course.

It's all beginning to make sense.

All right. I need to get to court.

But, please, let's get this moving.

So you're, uh...

throwing in with the girls, huh?

I'm not "throwing in"
with anyone, Howard.

I'm just trying to do
what's best for the firm.

Mm.

We've had problems with mail theft,

bikes gone missing, a car vandalized.

So that's when you bought the drone

Yes. It's too big an area
for volunteers to secure,

so the drone makes it easier to monitor.

Have any of your other neighbors
complained about your drone?

Or is it just Dr. Nachmann?

No. People love it.

Thank you, Ms. Hamm.
Being a mother myself,

I can understand the worth
of such a safety tool.

Objection. Counselor is testifying.

Actually, my apologies, I
thought I was just reacting.

Really? Is that what
a reaction sounds like?

Yes, the same way you're reacting now.

Excuse me. Please let me

rule on the objection.

Sustained.

Nothing further, Your Honor.

So why not just fly it over
your other neighbors' houses

- and leave Dr. Nachmann alone?
- Avoiding his house

would mean not covering a lot
of other people who want it.

But by "covering” this
area, you mean not just

the public area, like the street,

- you also look into people's backyards.
- I have to.

- Criminals don't just use the front door.
- Do you ever

pick up images from inside their houses?

- No.
- Is that a person there,

- inside their house?
- I guess.

Did that person give you permission

- to photograph them?
- I would never upload

- anything like that to the site.
- Your Honor,

this is a clear case of
intrusion upon seclusion.

It is well-established that a person

has a reasonable expectation

to privacy in his own home.

No, it is a clear case
of Reese Dipple trying

- to create law. Look!
- Your Honor!

The expectation of privacy

is in relation to
government surveillance.

If Dr. Nachmann simply
uses some discretion

- by pulling his blinds...
- He shouldn't have to.

Your Honor, we have to
weigh the minor inconvenience

to Dr. Nachmann against the significant

public interest in preventing crime.

- So we do.
- The incursions

into our privacy are
already so severe, Judge.

As much as I despair and sympathize

with our privacy being trampled on

by new technologies, the facts

in this case simply
don't warrant abridging

Ms. Hamm's First Amendment rights.

Dr. Nachmann, your petition

for a declaratory judgment is denied.

The drone can fly.

What the hell are you doing?

Not you. I'll call you back.

I've been booted.

Exiled to the 27th floor.

For doing what?

Nothing. Making room for Alicia.

The next step in Diane's push

for an all-female-led firm.

Diane pushed,

but the Gerbil... stood
by... he never said a word.

- Cary's in on this?
- First she came for the young guys,

then the older guys.

Pretty soon... there won't be
anybody left to speak for you.

Are you all right?

You seem a little out of it.

Just tired.

Well, why don't you go home?

No.

Well, maybe in a little while.

It's been a weird time,

huh?

What do you mean?

Us jumping from firm to firm.

All the changes.

It was easier when we started out.

Well...

yeah.

Not necessarily better.

Go home, Cary. Take a nap.

An afternoon off isn't
gonna change anything.

That's your client.

We're counter-suing.

That drone was an $80,000 prototype.

And we'll assess punitive.

See you in court, then.

Your offices look great, by the way.

Dipple won't back our
client after that, will he?

I don't know. The doctor has good aim...

and Reese Dipple loves
the Second Amendment.

Sorry I'm late.

Jason?

Hey, this is Jason. Leave a message.

Hey. Where are you?

I'm alone here.

Call me when you get this.

I'm just saying, he knew details.

- What kind of details?
- He had a transcript

of an entire phone
conversation you and I had.

- About?
- Judge Schakowsky.

He... What?

How you tipped that judge
off about the FBI sting.

The only way he could know that

is if he had a wiretap
in the governor's office.

Is he insane?

He's like an evil Boy Scout.

He said he wants you
to testify against Peter

- at the trial.
- Wait...

did he say "trial” or" grand jury”?

"Trial,” I think. Is that important?

If he said "trial,” that means he knows

he's gonna get an indictment.

He definitely said "trial"

Damn it!

That's you shooting the
drone down, isn't it?

Yes. That is me.

Your Honor, we request
an immediate judgment

as a matter of law...
Dr. Nachmann just admitted

to violating your ruling.

Your Honor, you said
the drone could fly.

You didn't say Mr. Nachmann
couldn't protect his property.

- Oh, come on.
- Is that an objection?

No, it's an expression of amazement.

Show me in the order where...

No one needs to spell it out.

No one did spell it out. And by analogy

- to the rule of lenity...
- Oh, lenity. Where are we going next,

- Expressio Unius?
- Oh, well,

- now that you mention it...
- Your Honor, please,

isn't it implicit in your order

not to shoot at my client's drone?

Why?

It's illegal to discharge a firearm

in Chicago but not in Oak Park.

It's not the weapon we're objecting to.

It's the target.

We ask for compensatory
damages in the amount

of $80,000, and $10,000 in punitives,

along with a clear
instruction from the court

that the defendant may not shoot drones

out of the sky.

Actually, Your Honor, I
would like an opportunity

- to examine him first.
- He's already admitted

to shooting it down.

But he didn't admit to
doing anything wrong.

- May I?
- By all means.

Dr. Nachmann, did you feel
threatened by the drone

flying over your house yesterday?

- Yes. I did.
- Threatened?

- Seriously?
- Did you believe it was making

a violent, riotous,
or tumultuous assault?

Yeah, with all the noise
and the hovering, absolutely.

- Oh, this is ridiculous.
- Did you believe

what you did was necessary
to repel the drone?

- Very much so.
- 720 ILCS

5/7-2 allows the use of force
in defense of one's dwelling.

- Castle doctrine?
- You're applying Castle doctrine?

Your Honor, this is
still about Mr. Dipple's

libertarian fantasies...

Again, the plaintiff is
attempting to provoke bias.

Castle doctrine allows the use of force

to the extent necessary
to terminate or prevent

- unlawful entry.
- Are you saying Dr. Nachmann

thought the drone was
going to enter his home?

Drones are capable of doing more
than record video, Your Honor.

They can steal, interfere with,

and destroy things inside the house

without ever entering.

The drone overflight
was a De facto intrusion,

which means Castle doctrine applies.

Honestly... is that a reasonable fear?

- No!
- Yes!

Then prove it.

You just sat there and let Diane

beam Alicia up to our floor?

Do you realize that the camel's
nose is already in our tent...

That was the lesser of two evils.

What's the other evil?

Having a pant-less octogenarian
scaring away clients.

We're name partners, David.

Nobody can move us out.

Together we have more equity

in this place than Diane does. And...

if we have to play that trump card...

- so be it.
- I don't know

if you're confident or covering,

but I do know this: this is war.

And before the women
make their next move,

we need to fire a shot across their bow.

Mr. Pert, what are we seeing there?

An unmanned aircraft system...

drone, in common
parlance... modified to carry

AR-15 machine gun.

With all due respect, Dr.
Nachmann would have known

if Ms. Hamm's drone was
carrying a machine gun.

- Thank you, Your Honor.
- But drones can carry more

- than just machine guns, can't they?
- Absolutely.

Did that drone

have a handgun attached to it?

A Beretta Pico.

Only about five inches
long. Drones can be fitted

- to carry virtually any weapon.
- Okay,

uh, this is, uh, entertaining,

but I'm not sure why it's relevant.

- It's not.
- The havoc that drones

can wreak isn't limited
to weapons, is it, Doctor?

No.

It's almost impossible to
tell unless you take it apart,

but this drone has a camera
that does thermal imaging.

Now, this drone looks like
a basic hobbyist's toy,

when, in fact, it's equipped with a...

Wi-Fi router that tricks your
computer into connecting with it.

And what happens when they connect?

It steals your personal data: contacts

bank information.

I think it's been established that

my client's drone has none
of these modifications.

Yes, but our client
had no way of knowing.

- Isn't that right, Doctor?
- Drones can absolutely intrude

on a person's home without entering it.

If that's what Dr. Nachmann said
he was afraid of, he's smart.

You study and develop drone technology

at Chicago Polytech, is that right?

- Yes.
- Would that include the study

of flight paths and trajectories?

Yes, of course.

Now, if you could tell me,
before my client's drone

is shot out of the sky, is it hovering

in a stationary position,

or moving toward Dr. Nachmann's home?

Well, that drone actually
looks like it's flying

away from the house.

So even if Ms. Hamm's
drone had attempted

a violent or illegal intrusion,
it was in fact retreating.

And under Illinois law,
including the Castle doctrine,

it is illegal to shoot
an intruder in the back

if he, or in this
case it, is retreating.

: Damn.

: Yep.

She's right on the law.

Damages in the amount of
$10,000 are awarded to Ms. Hamm.

Dr. Nachmann... don't shoot at drones.

Nice office.

It's very comfortable.

- Thank you.
- Terrific.

Because I think you're
gonna be in here for a while.

I need examples where a pre-nup

was deemed invalid due
to... unconscionable terms.

Okay. Illinois, right?

Illinois, but I want to be
belt-and-suspenders on this.

Let's make it a 50-state survey.

Great. Uh, but Alicia has asked me

to finish this business
development plan.

Let me give you three
reasons why I don't care.

Number one: I outrank Alicia.

Numbers two and three:

they don't matter,

because I outrank Alicia.

Your intimidation tactics may
have worked on my daughter,

but they will not work on me!

Hello, Eli. Would you like

- to sit down?
- You do not want the Inspector General,

let alone The New York
Times, to learn that you put

a wiretap in the office
of a sitting governor!

Will you please give us a second?

I didn't tap his office, Eli.

I tapped your daughter's phone.

- You wh...
- Yep. Awful, huh?

The lengths an AUSA
will go to arrest someone

who simply does something... criminal.

She worked for

Lloyd Garber, who I was investigating,

- so I had probable cause.
- My daughter knows

nothing about anything illegal

Lloyd Garber or Peter Florrick did...

may have done.

Agreed. But she does have knowledge

of something illegal you did.

You're squeezing my
daughter to get to me.

I'm not a big fan of the
word "squeezing,” but...

- yes.
- I know nothing

about the Locke mistrial.

Good. Then you have
nothing to worry about.

: Look...

you have a choice, a simple choice.

Help me take down Peter Florrick,

or your daughter helps me take you down.

Hey.

All right, then,

I will see you tomorrow.

No, just a few questions.

Thank you.

Hey.

What are you doing working up here?

I don't know. It's quieter.

I missed you last night.

Just... work.

Well, what are you doing tonight?

Look, Alicia...

I like you. I like you a lot.

Seriously?

What do you want me to say?

I don't want you to
say anything. I want you

to do what you did the other day.

I want you...

- She was...
- Can you give us a minute?

Please?

Just to make sure we get...

We'll move it out in the hallway here.

I want to use you and
I want you to use me.

This is purely sexual.

I like it, too.

Is this about your religion?

No.

Because I don't want your spirit.

I want your body.

It's not about that.

Then what?

Your husband came
home yesterday morning.

Oh, God.

What?

Look, whatever he said,

whatever he did, it has
nothing to do with us.

I just don't like coming in the middle

- of something.
- We'll meet at your place tonight.

- No. It's not really...
- Well, then we'll go to a hotel.

Side of the road. Backseat of my car.

I'm seeing you tonight. At my apartment.

After that, you can
do whatever you want.

Alicia, how are you?

Peachy.

Your client shot down another drone.

This time, not with a gun,

but with an electronic
device called a Drone Dropper.

Alicia, you need to talk to your client.

I don't need to do anything.

Uh...

Alicia, I'm a little busy here.

Give me a second.

What's going on?

Alicia?

I want a divorce.

I want a divorce.

What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

I want a divorce.

Yeah, well, I'm in the
middle of something.

Okay, you take care of that.

I'll have my lawyer call you.

This is about your
investigator, isn't it?

- My investigator?
- Mm-hmm.

Yes.

I would never think of divorcing you

unless I had some other
man to call my own.

Come here. I'm not getting...

I saw him yesterday,

walking around in his boxer shorts,

acting like he owned the place.

Yes, because I own the place,

and I told him he was welcome

to walk around naked if he wants.

And Grace? Oh, you don't give
a damn about your daughter.

Yes. I'm an unfit
mother. In the divorce,

you can get full custody
for the three weeks

before she goes to college.

Well, this must be true love.

Again.

Is that what would upset you most?

If I was in love?

No, what upsets me the most

is that you're shoving it in my face.

I'm not shoving anything.

This is me not caring.

Not caring what people think.

What Eli thinks. You think.

Or what the FBI thinks.

You know I'm about to
be indicted, don't you?

Peter, you're always being indicted.

If it weren't today,
it would be tomorrow.

I'll have my lawyer call.

Thanks.

You told Dr. Nachmann
not to shoot a drone,

so he brought it down
safely and he returned it.

Well, was the drone returned
to Ms. Hamm in one piece?

It was, but...

Why are you bothering me with this?

He gave the drone
back, it wasn't damaged.

Because it's against the law.

FAA rules prohibit interfering

with the operation of
an aircraft mid-flight,

- including by disabling it.
- Your Honor...

18 U.S.C. 32 applies to
airplanes and helicopters.

Not unmanned drones.

Actually, the law applies
to any aircraft in the

special aircraft jurisdiction
of the United States.

And are drones

in the special aircraft
division of the United States?

- No!
- Yes.

Drones must be registered

with the FAA.

But whether that puts them

within FAA jurisdiction would depend on

the height at which
the drone was flying.

And the FAA's draft regulation on drones

is unclear on this issue.

Oh, well, then perhaps we should
talk to someone from the FAA.

If Peter sent you...

He didn't.

Well, what do you need?

Can I talk to you?

Privately?

Uh, certainly.

I need a lawyer.

You do? Or Peter does?

Peter has Mike Tascioni.

And this may be an instance where...

my interests and the
governor's... diverge.

Understood.

So everything I'm about to say

will be covered under
attorney-client privilege?

And you can't share this with Alicia.

I understand.

The Federal prosecutor, Connor Fox,

is trying to force me to
testify against Peter at trial.

Okay, well, if or
when you're subpoenaed,

you can obviously take the Fifth.

I'm not worried about
incriminating myself,

I don't know anything.

But the AUSA doesn't believe that.

No.

Well, if you truly don't know anything,

why don't you just get
up there and say that?

Here's the problem.

I... told my daughter

something that I did

that may have...

obstructed justice.

And he's going to force
Marissa to testify against you

if you don't help him take down Peter.

So what do I do?

Hey.

What's up?

I'm hiding.

- From who?
- David Lee.

He dumped a 50-state survey on me.

: Oh, yeah.

He likes to haze newcomers.

Mm, it felt like more than that.

He's probably feeling threatened.

Diane's...

Diane's been aggressive about
this female-led firm idea.

Are we taking over?

I don't know. I don't
know if I have the stomach

for a gender war right now.

Would we make more money?

: Probably.

Hey.

Come on in.

I need your help with something.

Funny thing.

I need yours. You start.

David Lee is hazing
Lucca. He's got her doing

a pointless 50-state survey
to complete overnight.

Yeah, he did that to me when I started.

You, too.

Yes, but Lucca was my partner.

And when you convinced me to come back,

I convinced her.

Okay. Now I have a favor to ask you...

Sure.

Don't side with Diane.

With what?

You know with what.

Cary...

I'm not a name partner.

But you're a name.

This is none of my business.

It's between you and Diane.

And you can't take sides?

Okay.

Good to know.

So... you'll help Lucca?

I'll see.

You work for

the Federal Aviation
Administration, Mr. Ortiz?

I do... the Enforcement
and Compliance Division.

So you're familiar with the FAA's

proposed regulation on drones?

It's pretty much all we're talking about

internally these days.

Could you explain for us what Class G

airspace is?

It's the band that the
FAA doesn't control.

It's between zero and 500 feet,

not including approaches to airports.

And above 500 feet, it would be illegal

to disable a drone aircraft,

for example, by using a device
such as the Drone Dropper?

That is correct.

But below 500 feet,

that is not the FAA's jurisdiction?

Your Honor, point of information?

Regarding?

United States v. Causby.

That's C-A-U-S-B-Y,

- not... the other way.
- Thank you.

Uh, that case established

that an individual's
property rights include

at least as much of the
airspace above the ground

as one could occupy or use
in connection with the land.

- Do we have a number?
- 83 feet.

Exactly 83 feet?

That was the height below
which the Court found

an airplane flying
over Mr. Causby's land

would frighten his chickens.

Of course.

My client's drone was

at 200 feet and therefore not
on Dr. Nachmann's property.

Your Honor, this is preposterous.

That's a 70-year-old case.

- But still good law.
- But it's

hardly applicable to what

we've seen is cutting-edge technology.

The law's the law.

Well, as far as the FAA is concerned,

if a drone is flying
at 83 feet or below,

Dr. Nachmann would be within
his rights to take it down.

And above 500 feet, it would be illegal.

And at 200 feet?

Well, it's not clearly
his property at that point,

but it's not clearly... not.

As a representative of
the FAA's legal department,

would you like to clear that up?

No.

Well, we're waiting
to hear from the public

and private sectors before

we regulate Class G airspace.

So for the time being...

Between 83 and 500 feet,
it's the Wild, Wild West.

I hired an attorney. A good one.

Glad you passed on all the
bad ones, but what's the plan?

Developing.

It sounds like you're putting me off.

- Don't worry about me.
- I'm worried about me, too.

I'm a small person, and
it would be a lot of guilt

to carry around, putting you away.

All you have to do is
hold tight and do not

speak to AUSA Fox.

Dad, do you not want to testify

against Peter Florrick
because you don't think

he did anything wrong or are
you still trying to protect him?

- Wait a minute! Wait a minute! David!
- It's as if you're, as if you are

- the only person on the letterhead.
I don't know, Diane. - We... oh...

- It's getting really creepy around here.
- All right.

- David, just calm down!
- I'll tell you...

We all have the same long-term goals.

- World domination.
- To turn this

into the premier full-service law firm

- in Chicago.
- You mean the premier female-led law firm.

Listen, we're not gonna
ride into the future

- on Howard Lyman's back.
- I don't care about Howard,

but your elevation

- of Alicia Florrick...
- Makes sense.

She's been back here for barely a minute

- and you have her stepping over bodies.
- Alicia's name

- is a big draw to clients.
- You didn't even want her.

I was shortsighted.

- Or I was.
- Alicia

has weathered a lot of challenges...

Peter's, her own... but
she could still be an asset

to this firm, and that
matters to all of us.

Oh, cut the crap!

What's your move?

Make Alicia a name partner.

No.

I can bring this to
the entire partnership.

You think you have the votes?

I think I can get them.

Do you really want to tear

this firm apart to find out?

So, uh... I don't get
my office back, huh?

Not any time soon.

And there's no way to stop

the estrogen army?

Not without a big fight.

Which you don't want to have.

I'm just not sure it's worth it.

Well, I will see you

on the 27th floor, pal.

Oh, I'm not giving up.

I'm just saying there's
other things to consider.

- Like what?
- Money.

Howard, at the end of the day,

all I want to do is milk this place

for all it's worth

while it's still standing.

I've reconsidered.

You're right.

A rising tide lifts all boats.

I'll support Alicia's
elevation to name partner.

On what condition?

One that I think you'll be happy

to comply with.

Hello?

Mmm...

- Did you eat?
- No.

- You want something?
- No.

What we have here is
a political hot potato

masquerading as a legal case.

The law has simply not
caught up with technology,

and drones remain... and I
would suggest frighteningly...

unregulated.

But because any regulation
would require hard choices

between the competing values
of privacy, individual liberty,

and commerce, neither the legislative

or the executive branch
of the United States

want to make a decision,
so it falls to me.

I'm not thrilled to say this, but...

drones are not on private property

above 83 feet.

And you, Dr. Nachmann,

owe the plaintiff punitive and
compensatory damages. That's it.

Well fought.

- Thank you.
- Your husband is a lawyer, too,

- right?
- Yes.

How does that work?

Not well.

We're separated.

Oh, my God. I'm...

- I'm so sorry.
- Yes.

He's in Las Vegas.

It's just Zoe and me.

I guess you were right.

I never should've left.

No.

I wasn't right.

You threw in with Diane.

I'll call you back.

It's just what's best for the firm.

Isn't that what you told me
when I got sent downstairs?

You let Diane and Alicia

take over and what?

They slip you a few extra shares

- to shut up and smile?
- Something like that.

Life's a bitch, kid.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Fox.

Diane Lockhart. I'm representing

Eli Gold.

- What can I do for you?
- My client

is here to confess to
obstruction of justice

in the Don Schakowsky bribery case.

You realize that potentially
comes with it a...

lengthy prison term.

- I do.
- Given Mr. Gold's

willingness to cooperate,

his daughter Marissa should be

of no further interest to you.

Of course, if you wish
to pursue these charges,

Mr. Gold won't be

of much value as a witness
in any future trials,

including, perhaps, Peter Florrick's.

Uh, my understanding
was that your client

doesn't know anything about

Governor Florrick's involvement
in the Locke mistrial.

My memory on that point is... foggy.

I suppose it could be refreshed.

Only time will tell.

So, um, you tell us, Mr. Fox.

Would you like to hear
Mr. Gold's confession?

Or would you rather wait and
hear his testimony at trial?

Hmm.

Thank you.

- For what?
- For making me

a name partner. It was a surprise.

Don't thank me. I voted against it.

Is that because of the
conversation we had before?

No. Don't worry. David
Lee voted for you.

He doesn't care anymore.

Cary... I'm on your side.

I know we've been at loggerheads before,

but I won't be working against you.

I know. Because I'm quitting.

What?

- I'm having Diane buy me out.
- She...

Why?

I don't like it anymore.

I like being a lawyer.

That can be fun. But this isn't.

I'm not good at it.

I'm not good at looking
over my shoulder.

I don't want to be my dad.

Cary, you can't just quit.

Yeah, I can.

By the way, I was subpoenaed
in your husband's case.

It's not good.

Can I come in?

I can't fight now, Peter.

- I'm exhausted.
- Then let me just talk.

I'm not here to argue
you out of your divorce.

The kids are grown.

We live apart. Things have changed.

Good. Thanks.

But I do need to ask you a favor.

As you know, I'm being indicted.

But this time, I don't
think it's a false alarm.

I need you to stand
beside me during this.

You can proceed with the divorce.

Just get everything
ready. I won't contest it.

But...

don't make it public until afterwards.

I can't have it look like you're
leaving me because I'm guilty.

After that, we'll go our separate ways.

Live our lives.

See each other when the kids graduate.

But I need to ask you
this one last favor.
