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

WOMAN:
This is me, I was traveling

at 35 miles per hour
down Bosworth Avenue,

when I saw the light
at Le Moyne changing,

so I pulled to a stop.

CANNING:
And did you see something
in your rearview mirror?

WOMAN:
I did.

A car coming up behind me.

CANNING:
And how fast was it traveling?

WOMAN:
About 35 miles per hour.

But it didn't stop or slow down.

It just rammed
right into my car.



It shoved me
into the cross traffic,

and that's how
I ended up here.

In a wheelchair.

For life.

Yes.

Who was driving the car
that hit you, Wendy?
Him.

CANNING:
Let the record reflect

that Wendy pointed
to Tim Brewster.

Excuse me, I wasn't
driving that car.

Tim.
What?

Why aren't you objecting?

It's a depo, Tim.

We'll get to your
side of things.

CANNING: Who was behind
the wheel, Wendy?



Tim Brewster.
And did he see you?

Yes. I saw him in
the rearview mirror.

He clearly saw my car.
CANNING: But he didn't slow
down? He didn't stop?

WENDY: That's right.
Would you like to say something,
Mr. Ephraham?

I'm not being deposed.
It wasn't my fault,

and you know it--
it was your car's fault.

Why don't we take
a moment, please?

Tim, I thought we agreed.

We're going in there
with a united front.

Yeah, somehow a united front
means I get screwed.

It was in
driverless mode.

I tried hitting the brake,
I tried turning.

That's impossible,
and you know it.

Even in driverless mode,
it can be overridden

at any time.
Yeah, yeah.

And I'm telling you
I couldn't override it.

Then that's your
fault, isn't it?

All right, let's not
talk about fault.

(arguing indistinctly)

Great job.

Keep blaming Tim,
it'll split 'em up.

Then what?

They're setting you up.

I'm not talking to you.

What else can they do?

Your CEO friend can't admit
that it was his autonomous car

that malfunctioned...
Buddy, save yourself the breath.

I'm not joining your side.

Don't.

But get yourself
your own lawyer.

Because they're not
gonna defend you.

Your business means
nothing to them.

It's the CEO that's
the deep pocket here.

Call her.

(overlapping chatter)

LANDAU: Everybody,
take your seats please.

We're ready to start.

Vote no
on the first vote.

Don't forget.

Well, welcome back

to the Chicago election
board, everyone.

We have a full agenda,
so I'd like to get started.

But first I'd like
to welcome our newest member.

Alicia Florrick.

We want to thank her
for giving her expertise

and her independence to the
great work of this committee.

I believe, uh, we still
have a vote outstanding.

Yes, we do,
Mr. Chair.

Regarding the
status of KLT.

We were tied,
three to three.

Thank you, Mr. Hallman.

The tabled motion
was to replace

the current licensee
with Swan Systems.

All those in favor of
Mr. Hallman's motion,

please raise your hand.

All those opposed.

HALLMAN:
Three opposed.

We're tied again.

Mrs. Florrick, you have
the right to vote...

She doesn't
have to vote.

I'm sorry.

I have no idea
what the issue is.

Mr. Hallman believes

we should replace
our current contractor

for election machines with
a new one, Swan Systems.

Even though
you are new

to this committee, Mrs.
Florrick, you can vote.

If she doesn't want to vote,
she doesn't have to vote.

Mrs. Florrick, do
you want to vote?

Good.

All those in favor
of the motion.

All those opposed.

HALLMAN:
No, this is bullcrap.

You bought her! No, sir!
Mr. Hallman!

I supported your membership,
Mrs. Florrick,

because I thought you
would be honest here.

LANDAU:
The vote didn't
go your way, sir.

Now get
over it.

Okay. Let's move on
to the financial...

(elevator doors close)

(elevator bell dings)

Hey.
Hey.

Everything all right?

Yeah. You heading out?

Prior accidents
of a self-driving car.

Ah. What?

New case. Four
hours, capped.

Oh. Um...

can you do me a favor?

That depends.

Could you find out
about a company

called KLT
and what connection it has

with the head of the Democratic
Committee, Frank Landau?

All right. What
am I looking for?
Anything.

Anything it is.

Oh. Um...

maybe you and I could talk
sometime.

Sure.
What about?

Everything.

Okay.

Tonight. 7:00 p.m.

Done.

Mrs. Florrick, I am so
glad you're doing this.

So am I.

We'll meet you there, Tim.

Good case.
A three-way.

With who?

Lockhart/Agos and Louis Canning.

It should
be fun.
(groans)

(phone rings)

What's wrong now, Eli?

Have any reporters tried
to call you?

No. Why?

If anyone tries to call you,
don't answer.

Why?

Vice is reporting

that you and Peter have not
shared a bed for three years.

Oh, dear God.
Yeah.

We're gonna face
some uncomfortable questions.

Let us focus group some answers
before you say anything.

You'd better
get in there.

Alicia, I'll call you back.

FEMALE REPORTER:
Is the governor staying
with his wife while he's back

in Chicago?
MALE REPORTER:
And if not, why not?

Is it because
the Florrick marriage is...?

What can I promise?

What do you need?
This week.
Peter's here for the vote.

(reporters clamoring)
Folks, hold on, hold on.

You can rip me up later.

This Vice article is nonsense.

REPORTERS: Nonsense?
Peter is back in Illinois
this week

to veto the
physician-assisted suicide bill.

And of course he'll be staying
with his wife.

Ruth...
You're getting

to Alicia?
Right now.

I'm sure you're all aware,
Peter's been spending

a lot of time in Iowa...
Alicia, can you call me
as soon as you can?

The campaign needs to ask you
a favor.

Ma'am, this just came in.
Thanks.

You miss it?

The pressure to bill hours,
kowtow to clients,

and wrangle all
the personalities?

The money?

The money
never really materialized.

It always seemed to be
somewhere over the horizon.
Yeah.

I can see you here.
Making clients wait.

Ordering associates around.
Being the queen bee bitch.

(chuckles)
I'm a much calmer
person now.

Oh, my God, that's a
terrifying thought.

(Alicia chuckles)

Shall we?

Sorry for our lateness.

Lucca Quinn and...

...Alicia Florrick.

We've filed a
substitution of attorney

with the court. We're
representing Mr. Brewster now.

And we'll decamp here
if that's all right.

That would be great.
Please do.

LUCCA:
Well, shall we start?

EPHRAHAM:
These are the laser ranging
and detection units.

The car uses them to create
a 3-D map of the street ahead

to see and avoid
any potential hazards.

On the front and rear bumper,
there are three radar units.

They detect the speed
of oncoming cars

and slow down
if there are any obstacles.

And these are all
redundant technologies?
Yes.

The T-Portable has four layers
of cross-referenced sensors.

It is by far the safest
car on the road today.

No one has ever died
or been injured

in any car accident caused
by my T-Port.

That would be news
to my client.

That accident was not caused
by my car.

It was caused
by one of my employees,

who took the car for an
unauthorized test drive.

Which is why your client
should not be suing me.

She should be suing that
gentleman over there.

But I guess
I have too deep a pocket.
Thank you,

Mr. Ephraham.
Your witness.

Is it legal to drive this car--
strike that.

Is it legal for this car
to drive itself

in the state
of Illinois?

No. But it is in Michigan.

That's nice.
Why is it illegal in Illinois?

Well, some states want
more data.

Unfortunately,
data like this nuisance suit

won't help.
Well,
it's unfortunate

that my client got in the way
of your car's progress.

I didn't
say that.

Ms. Searle's injury
is unfortunate,

but it has nothing whatever
to do with my car.

Technology can overcome
most obstacles,

but it can't overcome
human nature.

I have no further questions
at this moment.

So why don't we take a break.
Actually,

we have
a few questions.

Of course.

Good afternoon,
Mr. Ephraham.

Good afternoon.
In 2014
you told Wired magazine

that the T-Port had
"the most advanced AI software

on the market. Every day
it's learning something new."

What does
that mean?
Each time the car is driven,

it learns something new
about a-a street,

the, um, behavioral dynamics
of other drivers, pedestrians,

the objects all around it.

So it gets smarter?
Yes.

Which means it isn't smart
to begin with.

Well, it's pretty darn smart.
Yes.

But you yourself admit
the software will learn.

So there must be something
to be learned.

EPHRAHAM:
There's always something
to be learned.

ALICIA:
Because every situation
on the road is unique?

EPHRAHAM:
Yes.
Actually, Mr. Ephraham,

don't you mean
that there might be

slight variations
in a road encounter,

and that's all?
Yes, that's right.

Thanks, Cary,
for that correction.

Mm-hmm.
(phone buzzing)

(beeps)

And why is it important
for the software to learn?

So it knows how to deal with
all possible street encounters.

Which means it doesn't know how
to deal with all encounters now?

No.
I-I'm not trying to trick you,
Mr. Ephraham.

If the software
learns,

then it must not know
what it needs to learn, right?

Let's return
to that. Wendy,

was it raining on the day
of your accident?

It was.
Fairly hard.

Mr. Ephraham, is rain one
of those road conditions

that the T-Port needs
to learn how to negotiate?
It knows

how to negotiate rain.
And yet weren't there
two accidents

on your test track
during a rainstorm?
There were

a lot of accidents
on the test track.

That's why we call it
a test track.

The software
was still learning?

Right.

As it is now?

DIANE:
Why don't

we take a break there.
EPHRAHAM:
I'm being ganged up on.

I've got lawyers crawling
all over me because you two

lost me Tim.
We didn't lose him, sir.

He exercised his right
to find another lawyer.
Watch out,

or I might, too.

What do you think?

I think we're treating Alicia
like an enemy

when we should be treating her
like a free agent.

CANNING:
Very well played in there.

Thank you.

They'll probably be coming
after Wendy next,

so we should talk.
(elevator bell dings)

We just did.

Lucca Quinn.

Tell me if it's too strong.

So, this must be serious.

I mean, we're
in your kitchen.

(laughs)
Yeah, well...

No, no, it's just,
I, um,

I was wanting
to see how you...

liked it here.

Here, at your work?

Yeah.

I like it.

How am I doing?

Great.

Well, good,
we're both great.

(quiet laugh)

I feel like you
want to say something.

No, I...
(groans)

It's just...

the insurance here,

um, I have to,
you know,

get my ducks in a row.

Hold on.

Here.

Thanks.

I, um,

wanted to see
if you could sign this

for me.

It's just a standard

release for liability reasons.

Mm, in case I beat someone up?

No, just in case anything.

You know, you...
trip on my stairs.

Or... cut yourself.

On an ice tray.

(laughs)

I hate doing it.

But, um, the insurance
is expensive

and it cuts down on cost.

And if I don't sign it?

If you don't...

Well, why wouldn't you sign it?

I don't like signing things.

Well, the-the problem is
that we're not a big firm,

so this is,
this is just...

Thank you.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Did that seem untrusting?

No.

I get it.

You're running a business.

Thanks again.

Would you like...?

What?

Would I like...?

Would you like to have dinner?

I-I have pizza.

Pizza sounds good.

Good.

I don't have pizza.

I have mini tacos.

Mini tacos sound good.

All right, let me
just check the expiration.

Good, we're good!

(doorbell rings)

One minute--
that's just the laundry.

Hey, thanks for doing this.

♪ ♪

Hey, thanks for doing this.

Doing what?

Letting me stay here.

Eli didn't call?

No.
Or he may have...

Hi.

I'm Jason.

Hey, I'm Peter.

Uh, Jason is
my new investigator.

I don't recall
you mentioning

anything about
an investigator.

She tries to do
most of the work herself.

Uh-huh, yeah, that
sounds like my wife.

It's an honor to meet you, sir.

You've been a great governor.

Thank you,
thank-thank you very much.

You know what?
I-I should go.

No, no, don't leave
on my account.

Got to get back to work.

WOMAN:
Excuse me, Governor?

As do I.
Donor calls.

Half my job is
fund-raising.

I can imagine.
We'll talk, right?

Always.
PETER:
Good to meet you, Jason.

(overlapping chatter)

(phone ringing)

Eli Gold.

Oh, finally you
decided to return my...

Alicia, wait.

Alicia, I called you ten times.

Ali-Alicia, can I call you back?

Um, wait, wait!

It-It's only until Friday.

Yeah, okay, bye, bye-bye.

Nora, Nora. Come here, quick!

Come on!

What?

Who was that
that went into Ruth's office?

I have no idea.
Was that Courtney Paige?

Who's Courtney Paige?
HRT Industries. Only

one of the most powerful
CEOs in America.

Never heard of her.

Well, go in there and
see if it's really her.

And... how am I
supposed to do that?

Offer them water or something.

See if there's a scar
on her hand.

You're joking.

No. She got into a
paragliding accident.

I don't get paid enough.
Go.

Go. My God.

WOMAN (muffled):
I'm tired of being burned.
I've come to suspect passion.

I supported
John Edwards.

Ugh.
RUTH:
Yes, I know.

But I can assure you the
Florrick marriage is solid.

(muffled door opens)
NORA:
I brought you some water

in case you
were thirsty.

Thank you, Nora.

Uh, Peter and Alicia's
marriage has survived

the test of both time
and tumult.

And they have
come out the stronger.

Well, I'm no prude.

I'm just tired of seeing
Democratic candidates

sidelined by personal failings.

Nora, do you mind?

(door opens, loud thud)

Seriously, Eli?

Did you see a scar?
I couldn't see.

Well, get back in there
and see if it's her.

I have an MBA from Syracuse.

I graduated summa cum laude

and I spent a year at the
Sorbonne studying French poetry.

I'm done playing
I Love Lucy for you.

But...

(knocking)
RUTH:
Eli?

Uh, just a minute.

(clattering)

(thud)

Do you have a minute?

Yeah.

Courtney Paige. Hello.

Eli Gold. I've followed
your career closely, Ms. Paige.

Oh, that's a terrifying thought.

Courtney's looking for
a candidate to support.

Someone new
and fresh.

I like underdogs.
Who doesn't?

But she's worried about
the Florrick marriage.

I said you could
comfort her fears.

Yes. Here I am...

to comfort.

I'd like to meet with them
together at some point.

Well, uh, how about
later this week?

Yes, yes. Uh... uh,
for the birthday party.

Whose birthday?

Is it Grace's birthday?
I have no idea.

Well, then why did you say it?
I don't know. It just popped
out. I'll talk to Alicia.

What's so important, Eli?

March. Why?

I have no words.

No. You can keep talking,

but I have no words for this.

(knocking)

DIANE:
You've had
your fair share of accidents

over the years,
haven't you, Ms. Searle?

Well, what do you mean?

It means they're
blaming the victim.

You were found at fault
in an accident in 2010

and then in 2012.

Yes, but that was
different than this.
Also, your driver's license

indicates that you wear
corrective lenses.

But you weren't wearing

corrective lenses
on the night of the accident?

No, but...
Thank you.

Do you want to take
this or should I?

Let me.

Wendy, um, you said,
"No, but..."

to Ms. Lockhart's
last question. Um,

what was your
full answer going to be?

No, but I don't need
the contact lenses for driving.

ALICIA:
Good, thank you. And on
the night of the accident,

were you texting
while driving?

Was I...

excuse me?
Were you texting
on the night of the accident

while driving?

I... Not while driving.

Well, I have a text
sent from you...

at 8:12 p.m. That's less than
20 seconds before the accident.

Nice job blaming the victim.

(elevator bell dings)

Watch it.

You used to be
a nicer person, you know.

(indistinct conversations)

Good thing
your place is so quiet.

JASON:
Not a lot of luck in
finding T-Port accidents.

The car is pretty damn safe.

That's too bad.

And yet?

Two things.

A month before the
accident they added

a fuzzy driving feature
to the software.

A what?
Fuzzy driving--

they found that the car
obeyed traffic laws

a little too well.

It would stop at a
four-way stop and let

all the other cars
keep going through,

because it was
supposed to wait for them

to come to a complete stop.

So, essentially,
it never moved.

The car was too safe?
Right.

So Ephraham added
the fuzzy driving feature.

Made the car more aggressive,

more human.

It would
roll through stop signs.

It would be more aggressive
when changing lanes.

So they made it... less safe?

Could argue that.

LUCCA:
That's a pretty good argument.

What's the second thing?

The hard drive was erased...

after the accident.

What?
I tried to download

a record of the accident
from the T-Port.

There was nothing there.

Somebody erased
the hard drive.

Really?

ALICIA:
Mr. Hallman.

Hello. May I help you?

Is your house always like this?

(chuckles)
No, this is unusual.

Um... would you
like to sit down?

I want you to stop
being a stooge.

I'm-I'm not sure...

You're Landau's
stooge on the board.

You're voting with him, and
he's a corrupt son of a bitch.

Mr. Hallman, whatever your
issues are with Mr. Landau...

My issue isn't with Mr. Landau.
He's beyond saving.

But you're not.

I'm bringing this up for
another vote this week.

Then I'm gonna ask Landau
to stand down

and nominate you
to take the chair.

You... What?

There are enough votes
to put a woman in charge.

Everybody's been feeling
the pressure

from their home districts...
Mr. Hallman,
I just...

but I need you to vote
against KLT.

Then I can make
you chair.
But I don't want to be chair.

Mrs. Florrick...

corruption doesn't start
out there.

It doesn't start in
D.C. or Springfield.

It starts here, in you and me,

and only if we let
it happen, so don't.

It's as easy as that.

Just don't.

EPHRAHAM:
...safe gap left by the T-Port.

This accident was not caused

by fuzzy driving.
But fuzzy driving

makes the car drive
more like a human, right?

Yes. Like a safe human

that still follows
the traffic laws.
But not in the case

of keeping a safe
two-car distance on the freeway.
DIANE: Wait a minute.

Stop ganging up here.
The only reason

we added that feature
is because human drivers

kept dangerously merging
into the safe gap

left by the T-Port.

That's why the T-Port
has been more aggressive.

In other words, that's
why it tailgates?

Objection.
He didn't say that.
EPHRAHAM: No.

Not tailgates.
Look, its human drivers

are the ones
making roads more dangerous.

Th-The T-Port is just adapting.

By being more aggressive,
by being more human,

which resulted
in this accident.
No. This accident was caused

by humans.
Then why did you erase
the car's hard drive?

I did not erase the hard drive.

Then how did it get erased?
CARY: Why don't
we take a break?

No, I'd like to answer that.

The hard drive was damaged
by the force of the accident.

We're not talking

about an airplane's
black box here.

It is vulnerable
to impact.

TIM:
That's not true.

You've had
several other accidents--

never has there been
any data loss.

Yes, but that was
a real-world...
CANNING: Excuse me.

Mr. Brewster's
being deposed now.

LUCCA:
So, if the accident

didn't erase the hard
drive, how'd it happen?

Obviously somebody
deliberately erased the data

after the fact.
MAN:
No.

Excuse me.
Who are you?

Anthony Edward Dudewitz.

And what this...
engineer is suggesting

is complete balderdash.
LUCCA:
If you don't mind,

Mr. Dudewitz...

I do mind.
I do mind mediocrity.

It has a taint,
like burned toast,

and you stink of it.

(several speaking at once)
All right, let me just
tell you, Mr. Dudewitz

is the original developer
of the T-Portable.

He is here
as my next witness.
I didn't know he'd be here.

Anthony.

What? Thief, bungler.

I'll testify if he's gone.

RECEPTIONIST:
Lockhart, Agos & Lee.

(door closes)

(mutters)

CARY: So you work
with Mr. Ephraham?
Work? (chuckles)

Yes, I work
with the great Charles Ephraham.

He handles the money;
I handle the genius.

And what was
your specific involvement

with the T-Portable?

I designed the interface.
I hired most of these monkeys.

Like that idiot.
Let the record

reflect I am nodding
to the code monkey

sitting over there.
Am I boring you?

Oh, far from it.
I can't wait to return.

DIANE:
So, regarding
the hard drive,

you said it couldn't
have been manually erased?

Not without leaving
some electronic trace.

There is no connection
between the designer

of the voting machines,
KLT, and Frank Landau.

But...?

How do you know
there's a "but"?

There's always a "but" with you.

(laughs)
But...

there is a connection
between KLT

and a shell company
called Pigster Union,

owned by none other than
Frank Landau's wife.

Really?

And why is this
important?

No reason.
Just... something.

Um, hey, I'm really sorry
about last night with Peter.

Why? Cool guy.

(laughs)

"Cool"?
Yeah.

You still owe me
mini tacos, by the way.

I'll get right on that.
Hey, one other thing.

This guy...

Dudewitz? Yeah?
Yeah,

I've seen him on TED Talk.

You might want to
ask him something.

TED Talk? Really?

Yeah. What's wrong?

No, no, you just...

you don't seem like
the TED Talk kind of guy.

Ah. I'm an insomniac.

You'd be surprised what
I get into late at night.

Does that answer
your question?

Can I make it even
simpler for you?

Tell me if these words
get too complicated.

No. I'm good.

So the hard disk
could not have been erased?

Yep. Can I go now?

Um, actually,
just a few questions

from me, Mr. Dudewitz.
Ah, you.

You're back. We've been
having fun in here.

I'm glad.

I guess you devised
the fuzzy driving software

for the T-Port?

Yes. You are correct
in your guess.

And I imagine this is
the very definition

of A.I.,
artificial intelligence?

How sweet.

You helpfully explained
what A.I. means.

You are again correct
in your imagination.
Mr. Dudewitz,

what do you think
of the future of A.I.?

Objection. Speculation.

It's a proper objection,
even in a deposition.

I'll rephrase.
What do you think of A.I.?

What do you want
to know? Just ask.

Are we in danger
from A.I.?

I think it's getting smarter.

Every day.
Learning our boundaries

and its boundaries--
it's evolving.

I think there will be
an adjustment period
after it takes over,

but eventually...
Wait, I'm sorry to interrupt.

Um, what do you mean
by "takes over"?

DUDEWITZ:
The singularity.
When the system is capable

of recursive self-improvement,

when it is better
at recalibrating,

expanding and spawning
than we are,

the brief blip
of humanity's reign

will reach
its inevitable conclusion.

So you're saying the robots
are coming to get us?

No. I hear the ridicule
in your voice, ma'am.

I'm just saying
they won't have much use for us.

CARY: Mr. Dudewitz,
who else believes that A.I.

has the potential
to be dangerous?
DUDEWITZ: Elon Musk,

Stephen Hawking,
Bill Gates...

So this is not an
unorthodox position?

Certainly it's unorthodox--
it's held by geniuses,

like myself.

The sheep are too busy
watching TV.

Thank you, Cary.
One last question.

How do you think
the car's hard drive got erased?

Objection.

Speculation.
I-I'll rephrase.

Do you think that the car's...

capable of erasing
its own memory?

Yes, I do.

ALICIA: And if
you believe that,

don't you think
that the software

could override
the safety features?

I don't think
I would go that far.

But if you believe
that A.I.

can transcend its
creators' original mission,

and you introduced
the theory of fuzzy driving

in order to make the car more
aggressive, more human-like,

then why couldn't the computer

override your safety controls?
CARY:
Come on, that has

so many layers of hypotheticals
and suppositions...

Hey, he's your witness,
not mine.
Well,

I'm noting my objection
for the record.

Mr. Dudewitz,

do you have
an answer for that?

I am a smart man.

A genius.
Yes, and I've
created something

so complex,
I can't positively tell

what it can do
and what it can't.

So it could have put

that woman
into a wheelchair?

It's possible.

ALICIA:
Thank you, sir.

This has been
most illuminating.

DIANE:
So, if you were driving

at 35 miles per hour,
Mr. Brewster, you had

seven seconds to switch
out of driverless mode

and hit the brakes?
But that wasn't
my responsibility.

CARY:
But isn't that part of why
you were in the car?

To step in if it malfunctioned?
LUCCA:
Objection.

Mischaracterizes
earlier testimony.

Your objection is preserved
for the judge.

TIM:
All I did was turn
on the defroster.

And then, a few seconds later,
the lights started flashing,

the radio starts
flipping stations.

It was like the car
had a mind of its own.

So, were you asleep
at the switch?

Excuse me. One interrogator
at a time, please.

But were you asleep
at the switch?
I was not asleep.

I never actually
fell asleep.

"Actually asleep"?
Okay, good.

Were you dozing?

The car is supposed
to drive itself.

So you were dozing?
CANNING:
Maybe when you were asleep,

you accidentally disengaged
the driverless mode, and...

Objection. He already said
he wasn't sleeping.

This isn't deposition by ambush.

DIANE:
He's either going
to answer our questions

one at a time or altogether.
It's his choice.

CARY:
So you were asleep
at the switch?

Right now, I'm in full control,

but we can go
driverless at any time.

Thanks for doing this,
Mr. Dudewitz.

I don't like
thank yous.

They're a remnant of
a hypocritical society.

Ready to go
driverless?
Let's do it.

I can now read, shave, yodel.

The car is driving itself?
Yup. I just put into

the GPS the intersection
where the crash happened.

(tires squealing)
Oh. Okay, that kid?

That kid could be
the next Steve Jobs.

The car just
saved his life.

You're welcome, kid.
Okay.

We're in the proximity
of where the accident happened.

What did you do then?
Nothing. I just sat.

(thumping)
What was that?
A pothole.

So, you said you hit
the defroster. When was that?

Uh, just before this
next intersection.

Now.
The defroster. And...

Nothing.

All right, what'd you do after
you turned on the defroster?

I turned it off.

And a few seconds later,
the lights started flashing,

the radio turned on,
and all the windows rolled down.
You're wrong.

I'm just telling
you what happened.

Maybe your memory is faulty.

There's no way the A.I. has
control over the windows.

Look, it was cold outside.

The windows rolled down.
Maybe you bumped
into the controls.

I did not.
Mr. Dudewitz.

If Tim... didn't misremember
if the windows did roll down,

how could that happen?

It couldn't have.
Whenever I see an equation

and it doesn't add up,
I know where the problem lies.

It's with humans.

It's always with humans.

And is the only human
in this equation Tim?

If he was the only one
in the car, if he was...

LUCCA:
Yeah?

There could be
another human involved.

Not one in the car.

Who?

A hacker.

GRACE: R.L. Burnside?
PAIGE: It's all his hits.

I have read
biographies galore,

books on philosophy,
but I... I find

that all of life's biggest
questions can be answered

by that CD.

This is great.

Thank you so much.

So when is your actual birthday?

The 14th.

PETER:
Remember that blues club

we went to in, uh,
Georgetown? Monique's?

Oh, yeah.
It's probably gone now.

Yeah. Believe it or not, this

sophisticated lady
you see sitting there got

on top of the bar and started
dancing with her friends.

Mom? You did?
I was 22, and,
of course, I tripped.

And fell into my arms,
throwing out my back.
ALICIA:
Oh, God, you were such a baby.

GRACE:
So, Ms. Paige, did you really

tell the king of Saudi Arabia

to start letting more women
into the workplace?

I did indeed,
although I did it politely.

How did he respond?

Oh, exactly
how I thought he would.

He, uh, smiled
and asked me to pass the lamb.

(Alicia and Peter laugh)

RUTH:
She was supposed to leave
30 minutes ago.

I'm not sure if that's
a good thing or a bad one.

It's good--
they like each other.

Everything's going great.

Oh, Mr. Gold.

Oh, dear God, what are
you doing here, Jackie?

Ms. Eastman, how are you?

Hello.

This is Howard.

Eli, Ruth.

How do you do?
Hi.

Uh, Peter and Alicia
are having a dinner party

for Ruth-- f-for Grace.

Yes, I know,
that's why we're here.

We have something to tell them.

It's actually not
a good time right now, Jackie.

It's always a good time
to see my son, Mr. Gold.

What can happen?
Oh.

So what was it like
growing up in Texas?

(door opens)
JACKIE:
Hello!

(door closes)

Mother? What a surprise.

You call that
standing guard?
A man has got

to know his limitations,
and your mother is mine.

Mmm. Oh. Oh, what is this?
A party?
Yes, it's my birthday party.

But your birthday isn't until...
We're celebrating a little
early this year, Jackie.

Yes, we're... gonna
celebrate now.

Oh, well, well,

how nice... and how... early.
(Peter clears his throat)

Ms. Paige, this is my mother
Jackie Florrick and her, uh...

Her, uh...
Howard Lyman.

A pleasure, ma'am.
JACKIE:
Oh, the pleasure's all mine.

I-I like Peter's
African-American friends.

Jackie, do you have
a minute out here?

There's something I want
to talk to you about.

Well, yes, but first,
uh, I have some news.

We have some news.

Let's share
that news later.

Howard and I...
are engaged.

(Jackie laughs)

Are you insane, Mom?!

(laughs)
HOWARD:
We're in love.

(laughter)

Grandma, I'm so happy for you!

Mother? Mother, you...?

This is not a good idea.

It is, Peter,
and I'm so happy.

Who would have thought
we'd find love at this age?

(laughter)

Guess this makes me

Stepfather-General.

(laughter)
That's wonderful.
Congratulations.

ELI:
Yes, wonderful
indeed. I'm sure

you'll want to resume your
celebration out in the hall.

But doesn't anyone want
to hear how he proposed?

PETER AND ELI:
No.
ALICIA:
Oh, yes!

Please.

Well, first of all,
Howard took me

to this lovely
dinner at Tournesol.

PAIGE:
So, you were in Selma
during the march?

Yeah, I was there
for a deposition.

Uh, even got to meet the
man himself, Dr. King.

Really?
Mm.

Told him to
speed things up.

Couldn't get
to my car.

(laughter)

JACKIE:
So-so what
brings you here?

You want a drink?
Yeah.

Or a gun.

Oh, just give up, Eli.

Bad things happen
or they don't.

But there's just too much
craziness in the world.

Like you and Peter?

The old me would be
provoked by that statement.

But the new me...
just doesn't care.

So, yes... like
me and Peter.

JACKIE:
Well,

we'd better get going.

We're meeting
friends downtown.
Mm.

Oh, Peter, dear,
will you get my things?

No. Allow me.
Oh.

He's so chivalrous.

It was so nice spending time
with you, Ms. Paige.

You are an inspiration
to all urban children.

Thank you.

Uh, don't beat
yourself up.

I don't know the
first thing about wines.

Ms. Paige, hello.

Uh, Courtney.

And I still am a Houston girl.

My drink of choice-- any soda
with the word "cherry" in it.

This was a disaster tonight,
wasn't it?

No. I like, um... reality.

Well, you got a lot
of that tonight.

Don't worry so much.

You're the second person
to tell me that tonight.

Well, then it must be true.

(doorbell rings)
ALICIA:
I got it.

What are you doing?

What am I...?

Are.... are you asking
what am I doing here?
With Craig Hallman?

What are you doing
with Craig Hallman?

Mr. Landau,
I'm a bit tired.
I know

he's pushing for a new vote.

I know he was here.
Yes, and I know

that your wife
is a part owner of KLT.

He tell you that?

No.

Are you gonna vote against me?

Mr. Landau, I don't know
what I'm gonna do.

I can hurt you.

I can hurt Peter.

Gentlemen,

I think this man has
something to say to you.

I don't mean physically.

You can recover
from being physically hurt.

Oh, look, just stop it, Frank.

Let me vote the way I want to.

Think about this.

Your new little friend, Hallman,
is part owner of Swan Systems.

Nobody's
innocent here.

So you either vote
for me or him.

Good luck with that.

So, could the T-Port be hacked?

T-Portable, and yes.

CARY: I thought you said
that was impossible.
Is that an objection?

What I said was,
it was impossible

for the car to be hacked

without the hacker
leaving a trace.

The only time
the car is vulnerable

is when it goes
into computer update.

Someone could plant a virus
while it was happening,

and no one would notice.

So, you're saying the hack
came from inside the company?
Yes.

That's what I'm saying.
I did a search.

Mr. Brewster, the idiot coder

over there, had
idiot coder friends,

all idiot coders, too,
and they all eat

at Acapulco, and they all smell
like elephants at the circus.

Mr. Dudewitz.
They hacked
the T-Portable

hard drive before
he took the car out.

ALICIA: They wanted
to play with him?
That's right. Humans.

Always there
to disappoint.

They wanted to spook him,
but they crashed his car

into your car, ma'am,
I'm sorry to say.

And then they covered
their tracks?

Yes, they wiped
the hard drive.

I hope you have
enough insurance

to cover this, Charles.

You're pretty happy about this?

It's just money.

One less horse
for your homestead.

Thank you, Mr. Dudewitz.

Can I leave now?

I was just coming to see you.

I'm so glad.
Shall we?

It's-it's being cleaned.
Oh.

Just wanted to thank you for
inviting me to the Florricks'.

No problem. I'm sorry
it was so, uh... eventful.

I like events.

No reason to apologize
to me for that.

So what do you think?

Of Peter and Alicia?

I thought they were boring.

Oh.
Like a real married couple.

I'm gonna back Peter.

Good.
LANDAU:
Wait a minute, wait a minute.

You have constantly...
That's the only reason why
we're in complete disagreement.

...been acting as a gadfly
with only one interest.
Imagine if the rest...

That's stopping this board
from moving forward.

Imagine if the rest
of the board was...
You're obsessed...

LANDAU:
Any other discussion?

HALLMAN:
Mrs. Florrick,

do you have any discussion
about this very important issue?

Would you like me to have some?

I would like you
to speak for yourself.

I think that the two
of you... have issues.

That may be true, but you still
have to vote on it.

The election board

either has to renew its license

with KLT
and its voting machines,

or reject it
and license with Swan.

LANDAU:
All those for Swan,

raise your hands.

All those against?

Mrs. Florrick?
