Previously on "For the People"...

Damn!

I can cancel my date tonight
and work on this with you.

I don't want you to cancel your date.

I'll be thinking about you
the whole time.

It's about opposing counsel.
She's my girlfriend.

The AUSA handling the case

filed the additional claims
for the sole purpose

of pressuring Ms. Locarno into a deal.

- I'm on probation.
- I did what I had to do.

And now I'm gonna do
what I have to do. I'm leaving.

- Good morning.
- Not for you, apparently.

We were just talking about losers.

My case was thrown out.
Can we really call that a loss?

We can call it a big loss.

We are not going to break up
over an insidertrading case.

No, we're gonna break up because

I don't want to be second chair
to you the rest of my life.

And if I stay,
we both know that I would be.

Hey.

There he is.

Hey, Mom!

You're all moved in.

Yep, feels like home.

- This is the best thing for you.
- Don't.

- What?
- Bring Allison up.

I wasn't. I'm just proud
that you have your own place.

Thanks, Mom.

- Without Allison.
- Mom...

Can you believe what's going on

- over here in Lincoln?
- What?

You know the aerospace plant
that went in a few years back?

KapplerHays, yeah?
They've been allowing some chemical

to run off their property,

and, apparently, it's in
the soil, the drinking water.

People are getting really sick.

Is that Carver?

Your elementary school.

Remember Jenny Mars?

Of course I remember Jenny.

That's her son, Theo, in the picture.

He's on life support.

You're a lawyer.

Can you do something about all this?

I'm not that kind of lawyer, Mom.

Well, what kind of lawyer are you?

Hey.

- You biked here?
- Yeah. You?

I thought I'd beat her here.

I saw her at home in the morning once.

That was the closest I've come.

Chloe Daniels, assault on
a postal worker...

I'll take it.

Have you ever done a murder case?

YYou said "assault."

He might die. Allison? Jay?

Not a lot of murder at the ACLU.
Lot of talking, mostly.

AAt County PD, I had guys who
probably had murdered, so...

This one's mine then. Assist and learn.

What exactly did Chloe Daniels do?

I was getting my mail.
Just like a normal day.

He was already in the mail room.

Were you alone?

It wasn't Stanley, our normal mail guy.

This guys was... weird.

He was, um...

looking at me...

Yeah, it was just the two of us.

Before I could even open the mailbox,

he came at me.

So II grabbed a letter opener
off the counter.

Really, the next thing I can remember

is him bleeding from his neck.

And then I called the police.

I've never hurt anyone
in my life, Ms. Carlan.

I was just trying to defend myself.

And I'm here to defend you, Chloe.

A plea of not guilty is entered

as to all counts of the indictment.

Our next order of business
is assigning a judge for trial.

Ms. Krissman?

The Honorable Judge Gerald McKinnon.

The Honorable Judge Eva Corcoran.

The Honorable Judge Nicholas Byrne.

My client has no criminal record,

she isn't a flight risk,
and has roots in the community.

We respectfully ask for bond

in an amount commensurate
with her resources.

Under the condition that Ms. Daniels

confine herself to her home
except for the purposes of work,

bail is set for $20,000.

Now, let's pick a trial judge.

MMaybe just pull a card, Ms. Krissman?

How bad is it?

We may have to put her down.

That's sad.

I remember the first time on the
Wheel, I got Judge Wallace Andrews.

- Yuck.
- Deeply unpleasant.

But then he ruled for me on an
impossible suppression motion.

Still remember that.
Never doubt the Wheel.

First of all, who even thinks about

running a pipeline
full of poison next to a school?

TThe school is already right there.

It's not... an invisible school.

I found it every morning for six years.

It's hard to ask you to leave

when you're using the words
"poison" and "school."

- I'm angry.
- You should be.

And they're probably
gonna get away with this.

If only you knew someone
in the federal justice system

who could do something about it.

KapplerHays has already committed

so many EPA violations here...

Clean Water Act,
Toxic Substances Control Act...

Doesn't Nebraska have an attorney
general and courts and stuff?

I'm not up on Nebraska.

Nebraska depends on
KapplerHays for jobs.

The attorney general's
never gonna go hard at them.

But their headquarters
are here in Manhattan,

so we can get them
in the Southern District.

It's a big case to make.

It is. But the EPA
and state regulatory authorities

have already done so much to make it.

We just need to pull it all together.

You look like Seth Oliver.
Even sound like him.

Let me do this.

Yeah, but I can't use resources
on a case we can't win.

I'm not Rocky Balboa.

Rocky did win. He beat Ivan Drago.

I meant the first one.

He just wants to go the dist... Wait.

You've seen "Rocky IV",
but not the original?

- Four is a classic.
- It's four!

Let me do this. I can win.

Okay, but on the condition

that you rent "Rocky"... the first one...

and tell me if there's
a better movie anywhere.

That's literally a condition!

- Cool if I sit?
- No.

So, here's the scenario.
Let's say you embezzled...

I would never embezzle.

- But if you did.
- I didn't.

- What would you spend the money on?
- What money?

- The money you embezzled.
- I didn't embezzle.

Hey, sorry to interrupt.

I finished the discovery binder

for the Stewart International case.

Thanks, Tony. You can leave it there.

You got any big plans for the weekend?

Going through this.

If you need a break,
a bunch of us are going over

to the Jazz Age Lawn Party
on Governors Island.

You should come.

I probably won't have time,
but thanks for the invite.

Okay, well, if anything changes,
you have my number.

- That was real cold.
- What?

He likes you. He sent up a test balloon

and you shot it down. Cold.

II'm not interested.

- If you were interested...
- I'm not!

- But if...
- I'm...

I have to move floors.

I did it.

Opened a criminal investigation
into KapplerHays.

Subpoenas are out.

You're going up against KapplerHays?

You both have offices, right?

You know every big firm in New York

is trying to get that case now, right?

Right now. As we speak.

And the firm that does get it

is gonna spare no expense to destroy you,

and they will salt the earth
when they are done.

Is this a pep talk?

I just want you to know
what you're up against.

I think I do know.

- Todd.
- Seth.

- How are you?
- Great. Thanks for coming.

Thanks for, inviting me.

- We miss you at the firm, Seth.
- Well, I miss being there.

You should.

I mean, you have the best job
in the world, obviously,

but there's a lot of great stuff

happening at Stillman right now.

- We have nap pods.
- Nap pods?

I just woke up 15 minutes ago.

Can you tell I was asleep?

Look at me. Seriously. Can you tell?

II guess... aa little bit.

- Maybe around your eyes.
- No, you cannot! Right?

That's what I'm saying.

These things are amazing.

We have a whole
onsite wellness center.

It makes a difference.

Meditation and bee pollen every morning

means less partners screaming.

I heard you made partner.

In record time.

Three years in the Southern District

doing your job, and they minted me.

And it'll probably be even faster for you

because you already have
your first client lined up.

Let me guess. KapplerHays.

You didn't need to guess.

You're smart. And they're smart.

For hiring the former firm
of the prosecutor.

Former firm. Future firm.

Yes. It's smart.

Listen, you're gonna be
surprised to hear this,

but I'm glad you put
pressure on KapplerHays

by opening this investigation.

It was the right thing to do.
They know they messed up.

The CEO, Jack Lewis,
is personall overseeing

the creation of a $50million health fund

for any affected child in Lincoln.

I ordered you the chop.

They're also putting in
new inspection protocols,

reforming the entire system
of safety measures companywide,

beyond anything the Nebraska AG
and EPA are asking.

And that's because of you.

Look, we're technically
across the table here,

but we all want the same thing.

Okay, so here's what we do.

Let's make a deal that gives you a win

and gets the company on the right track,

and, most importantly, gets
the community taken care of...

your community.

My only ask in all of this

is just don't jump the gun
and file charges.

Because that would be
unproductive right now.

For the good people of Lincoln.

For you. And the firm.
For you and the firm.

I know you know how this works.

I know the kind of lawyer you are, Seth.

- Dead as a doornail.
- Good.

Remind me not to let you
write my obituary.

Hey, we had an agreement. It breaks...

We go automated, I know.

I've got IT installing the
random selection software now.

By the end of the day,

I will be assigning judges
with the push of a button.

Welcome to the 20th century.

No, you can leave it here.
My clerks will get rid of it.

I'll take care of it.

II could really use the firewood.

We need to talk to you about Chloe.

- Is she here?
- Not yet.

She's late. Have you tried calling her?

She doesn't live in that building.

What are you talking about?

She told you she lived in that building.

She said she was checking her mail,

like she does every day.

She hasn't lived in that
building for four years.

Maybe I misunderstood.

She told you that she was
the one who called the police,

but it was actually the doorman.

We need to get her in here.

There are other inconsistencies
with her story.

Chloe?

I ccan't...

- Are you okay?
- I don't know.

Where are you?

I will come to you, but you have
to tell me where you are.

I just went for a walk,

and I must've gotten turned around...

Can you... Can you look for a sign?

Chloe, you need to tell me
where in Penn Station you are.

Chloe? Chloe?

Chloe.

Chloe!

You're here.

Are you her sister?

What? No.

You should take her home.

She tried to jump in front of a train.

This is distracting.

- What?
- You.

I'm not doing anything.

You're brooding. I don't like it.

I need to talk to someone.

At least it's not in my
office. I have five minutes.

Not you. I'm sorry.

God. Don't be sorry.

You called me from your work phone.

I did.

- So, this is about work?
- Yes.

Good.

- This is weird.
- It is.

But you know me better than anyone else,

and I need your advice.

You got one block.

Okay, you know how the plan was

that after a few years
in the U.S. Attorney's Office,

I'd go back to Stillman Pearce,

- but as a partner?
- Yeah.

The company I'm investigating

hired the firm as outside counsel.

And Todd Hardart... Remember him?

- No.
- Really?

I can't even tell what you're saying.

Hardhart? Hardart? I'd remember.

Anyway, he told me that
the company's already agreeing

to do the things I would have asked
them to do if I brought charges,

without me bringing charges.

- You believe that?
- I looked into it.

They are. Doing the things
Todd said they were.

Could you get more
if you brought charges?

- I don't know.
- You know.

If I file charges,
I think I can get more.

More money. More reforms.

Send a stronger message to the industry

that this is intolerable.

I'll tell you this...

if you could stand up to me
and say the things you said,

why can't you stand up to a company?

And if it's because it ruins your plan

to be a lawyer at a big, corporate firm,

maybe you should think about
whether that's such a great plan.

One block.

We could do this, you know?

Maybe. Be friends?

You made a choice to be independent.

To be a man.

I am trying my best to respect that.

Don't let them underestimate you, Seth.

Like I did.

They spilled poison
near my Annie's school.

Now she has headaches, she gets dizzy,

she's losing her hair.

My boy's seven, and the
doctor says he needs dialysis.

And they keep saying
this was an accident.

I'm proud of our commitment
to the environment,

to the public health.

For me, it's a sacred trust.

I'm gonna bring criminal charges.

Same suit. Same conversation.

I told you to rent "Rocky",
not "Groundhog Day".

I'm gonna bring criminal charges

against the CEO of KapplerHays,
Jack Lewis, personally.

- This sounds personal.
- It is personal.

He was the person who made the decisions

that led to these crimes.

The fines are meaningless.

KapplerHays is a $22billion company.

$50 million is just another cell
in their accounting software.

The public needs to see
someone go to jail... a person.

That's the only way
to show that we're serious.

- What do you have?
- The EPA interviewed multiple witnesses

who can testify that Jack Lewis
knew about these leaks

and chose not to remediate them
because of cost.

They're gonna want to cut a deal.

Guilty plea. Minimal time. No trial.

I'm not looking to try a case
against Stillman Pearce.

As long as Lewis does jail time,
I'll cut a deal.

But he needs to go to jail.

I hired a psychiatrist
to do a full evaluation

to see what we're dealing with.

- Where's Sandra?
- Sandra doesn't like hospitals.

- Who likes hospitals?
- It's different with Sandra.

What are we dealing with?

Chloe was on the edge
of the tracks at Penn Station

and speaking incoherently.

She says she gets lost often.

So, we could be dealing with
an insanity defense?

Mental disorder defense. But yes.

I'm sure it explains all of the
inconsistencies in her story.

You need to wait for
the psychiatrist's report

while I start preparing our papers.

Chloe may need to be committed.

Are you not into guys?
Is that what this is about?

It has nothing to do with gender.

Then is it because
he went to a state school?

I went to a state school.

Nothing wrong with that.

If I went to that
music festival with Tony,

he'd buy me a hot dog,
we'd listen to some bands,

then we'd go back to his place
and we'd have sex.

I don't want that. What's the point?

Of the music festival? I don't know.

Any of it.

Well, some of it could be fun.

I don't want fun.

I want challenging.
Interesting. Stimulating.

Fun is... What your 20s are for.

I'm practically 30.

That's a terrible attitude.

It's the truth.

I'm not saying you have to
get blackout drunk

and wake up on a small boat
in Peru. True story.

You can go out every once in a while.

- With Tony?
- With anybody.

Find somebody you like and send
up a test balloon of your own.

This is sounding a lot
like middle school.

- I hated middle school.
- Everyone hated middle school.

This is different. You're cool now.

You're interesting,
you're smart and attractive...

you're a catch.

I don't want to be caught.

- Nothing?
- The psychiatric testing

showed no mental
or cognitive issues of any kind.

They even did a bunch
of lab work. Nothing.

We need to find another doctor.

You said he was the best.

Is it at least possible

she's faking a mental condition?

She almost threw herself in
front of a train.

But she didn't.

Maybe there's some history
with her and this mail carrier.

Maybe there's a whole
different angle on this.

I don't think so.

She lied about everything else.

Why wouldn't she be lying
about this, too?

This isn't a potential
murder case anymore.

The mail carrier is recovering.
One of us can take this now.

I need to talk to Chloe.

Okay, am I, like, missing something here?

Apparently, we all are.

KapplerHays' chairman
and CEO, Jack Lewis,

was arrested today,

charged with multiple criminal violations

of the Clean Water Act...

a highly unusual,
highly personal prosecution

that Mr. Lewis's attorneys have indicated

they intend to fight
in every way possible.

- Todd.
- Seth.

- Thanks for coming.
- Thanks for... inviting me.

Listen, Todd.

I just want to say,
before we get started,

this isn't personal, obviously.

II have a lot of respect
for you and Stillman.

And I really value
my association with the firm.

- The respect goes both ways, Seth.
- Thank you.

Yeah, seriously. I'm impressed.

This. You. How far you've come.

I was riding up in the elevator just now

thinking back to the day

you interviewed here.

Roger Gunn calls me
the minute you left the office

and says, "You have to be
kidding me. This guy?"...

meaning you.

And I say, "No. Trust me. He's good."

But Roger's totally
dug in on this... you.

"No way."

More colorful language, obviously.

But he's not budging.

I'm sure you guys
have laughed about this, right?

Ha ha.

So, I go back to Ron Stillman
and he's like,

"Well, he can't stay here at the firm.

He's not cutting it."

"He" meaning you.

So, I call Roger
and push and push and beg,

and finally, we get him to take you.

My powers of persuasion

and a half dozen box seats
at Yankee Stadium

can move mountains.

And now look at you.

Sitting there. Fearless.

You have no future at Stillman
or any top firm in this city.

You have no future in this office.

Roger's not gonna be thrilled

about a guy he didn't want
to hire coming off probation

and getting his head handed to him.

But you don't seem
to care about any of that.

It's... impressive.

Anyway, I think you called
me in to make an offer.

I probably should've
said we're not looking

for a deal on this anymore.

We wanted to avoid criminal
charges. This spectacle.

You went ahead anyway,
and now we're feeling

a little less magnanimous.

We'll see you at trial.

Ms. Shore, you were KapplerHays'

Deputy Chief Environmental
Commitment Officer

- for how many years?
- 12 years.

On March 9, 2012, did you and Mr. Lewis

discuss the company's facility
in Lincoln, Nebraska?

Yes. We had a big wastewater leak

beneath the Lincoln plant.

Chemicals were leaking into the water,

spreading through the soil.

Right next to Carver Elementary.

I told him that we needed to
make critical upgrades.

What did Jack Lewis say

when you told him you need
to make these upgrades?

He said he didn't want to
spend the money.

Do you recognize
this document, Ms. Shore?

It's my mortgage application.

And you swore to tell the truth

under penalty of perjury
on this form, correct?

- Correct.
- Did you?

I misstated my assets.

You lied. Because you wanted something.

- Objection. Counsel is testifying...
- Overruled.

Just like you're lying today

so you can avoid being held responsible

for alleged environmental crimes
that were in your portfolio.

As head of Intergovernmental Affairs,

you urged Mr. Lewis

to bring the Lincoln plant
into compliance to obey the law,

- is that right?
- Yes.

I told him that we were doing
damage to that community,

that state legislators
were sounding alarm bells.

- His response?
- He told me to get out of his office.

He told me I was the alarmist.

- Mr. Cantor, you are divorced, correct?
- I am.

And is it true, Mr. Cantor,

that during your divorce proceedings,

you swore under oath
that you were at all times

faithful to your wife during
the course of your marriage?

- That's correct.
- Isn't it true, Mr. Cantor,

that, while married to Lily Cantor,

you attended sex parties
at a private club

- called "Venom" at least 16 times...
- Objection!

To what? The name "Venom"?

Mr. Cantor's sex life is
completely irrelevant.

This isn't about his sex life.
This is about his credibility.

I'll allow it.

Mr. Cantor, you have shown
an alarming ability to lie

in order to protect yourself.

Is there any reason
for this jury to believe

that you are not doing
the exact same thing here?

Crankshaft just needs
a little TLC is all.

I'll fix it up, free of charge.

You don't have to do that.

It's no trouble.
Just happy she's still in use.

Everybody's got smartphones
and... and search engines.

I get it. I like the Internet, too,

but do you know who made the Internet?

That curlyhaired kid from the movie?

I haven't the faintest idea.

What I do know is that
I carved this handle.

I soldered this joint.

There's a crack in this corner.

That's you...

and all the people who've used her since.

Sorry about the place.

Moved in such a hurry
and haven't had time to...

Started a new job.

Here's some milk.

Thank you.

So... the doctor said
he couldn't find anything wrong.

No. They never do.

Over the last five years,
I've been called,

"stressed," "depressed,"
"moody," "premenopausal."

I've had blood tests, thyroid tests,

Chinese tea, acupuncture.

The only thing that came close
to working was paroxetine,

but I didn't feel like myself.

Mitchell... that's my ex...

he wanted me to stay on it.

We fought.

I think it's hard
to live with a crazy person.

Can we not say "crazy"?

But I thought that was my defense.

It was, Chloe.

But... the psychiatrist
didn't find anything,

and I need to explore with you

if maybe there's something else
going on here.

Something you might not have told me.

Do you not believe me?

It's... not about what I believe, Chloe.

It's about what the jury will believe.

That's okay. I understand.
I'm used to it.

Maybe we can talk more
about the incident.

Did you have any history

- with the mail carrier?
- No.

- Why were you in the building that day?
- I don't know.

I'm your attorney.

Anything you say to me is protected.

My son got frustrated, too.

I'm not frustrated.

He doesn't want much
to do with me these days.

I don't blame him.

He needed his mom to be
the same person day to day.

She's not much of a mom.

Let's talk about why you felt
you were in danger...

I wasn't always like this.

In college, I was on the Dean's list...

Have you been attacked before?

Gamma Delta Gamma president.

I was a cheerleader.
I went abroad my junior year...

Maybe there's still
a selfdefense argument.

That's when I met Mitchell...

Wait.

You were a cheerleader?

Since I was 14.

National champions one year.

Why?

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy,

a degenerative brain disease from
years as a competitive cheerleader.

I thought CTE was caused by

years of getting clobbered
playing football.

It's also caused by this...

Cheerleading causes half
of all catastrophic injuries

in female athletes.

I watch a lot of "SportsCenter."

- I've never heard of this.
- Most people haven't.

But CTE explains
everything about Chloe...

confusion, rage, memory loss...

Why didn't this come up
in the psychiatric evaluation?

Because it doesn't show up
on a psychiatric evaluation.

Well, how do you test for it?

There is no test for it.

It's diagnosed at death with an autopsy.

I watch a lot of "SportsCenter," too.

That has been the only way,

but there's a doctor, here in New York,

Alexander Cole, working on a new test.

That won't be admissible.

Then your job is to make it admissible!

So now you have something to do

instead of just standing there.

She has CTE, and we're gonna get
her tested,

and then we'll know and she will know.

Again? I don't like it.

I need to talk to someone.

So, talk to whoever it was
you talked to last time.

- That seemed to work.
- That got me into this mess.

God. I have to sit down now, don't I?

My case is falling apart,

I'm getting humiliated by Todd Hardart...

Hardhart?

Sorry, what are you saying?

My old firm.

They've got an army
of associates working 24/7,

digging up anything and everything

to discredit my witnesses.

They're pummeling me.

I'm letting everyone down...
my mom, Jenny, Theo.

This is why Roger didn't want to hire me.

Roger probably didn't want to hire you

because of the way you sound right now,

which is incredibly whiny.

Roger didn't want to hire you?

That's what I was told.

I was told that my feet were too small

to be a competitive swimmer.

And then you won
the state championship...

No. Usually, I came in last,
but I didn't give up.

I'm not giving up.

- Is he giving up?
- I am not giving up!

- I'm sorry.
- Don't do that. Don't apologize.

Stay there.

Now what do you need to do
to make your case?

They destroyed my witnesses,

but I have these memos,

which show the company
knew about the leak

and knew how much
it would cost to fix it.

But you need someone to testify
Lewis actually saw them

and decided not to do anything?

Yes. But Jack Lewis is a powerful guy.

People are scared of him.

He flung a piece of bacon
at his secretary.

Former secretary. I saw that
in the "Washington Post."

Top 10 worst CEOs in America.

The secretary!

Now let's get to work.

Ms. Davis, you were Jack
Lewis' secretary for nine months?

Nine long months. I'm told it was
two weeks short of a record.

That's why you're here today,

to tell us about Mr. Lewis'
management style...

Objection, Your Honor.

The witness did clerical work.
Answered phones.

She knows nothing about

the highly specialized issues
in this case.

She saw every piece of paper
that crossed his desk

for nine months.

This trial is about whether
he's personally responsible

for his company spewing toxins.

How is it not relevant?

I'll allow it.

Take us back to the morning
of March 20, 2016,

your last day at the company.

How'd that day begin?

Mr. Lewis asked me for
a breakfast sandwich...

egg and cheese on a roll.

He specified egg and cheese on a roll...

- Your Honor...
- Get to the point.

You brought him the sandwich.
Then what happened?

He flung a piece of bacon in my face.

Did he say why
he flung bacon in your face?

He didn't ask for bacon.

He said, "Do only what
I tell you. No more. No less."

He said that 50 times a day to everyone.

That was his management style?

Not a lot of style, but yes.

He was a micromanager. About everything.

I want to direct your attention
to these four memos,

which have been marked as Exhibit J,

written to Mr. Lewis
over a threeyear period.

They estimate the cost of
complying with EPA regulations

at KapplerHays' Lincoln plant.

Objection. The witness
doesn't know the first thing

about EPA regulations.

If he can make bacon relevant,

he gets a crack at this, too.

Do you have an opinion, Ms. Davis,

about whether Mr. Lewis
ever saw these memos?

No.

I mean, it's not an opinion.
He definitely saw them.

No piece of paper
passed through the company

without him reading and okaying it.

And anyway, these memos
are covered with checkmarks

in Mr. Lewis' handwriting.

That's his writing.

So, if Mr. Lewis contends he never knew

his facilities were breaking
the law, poisoning children,

do you have an opinion about that?

That would be a lie.

What are you seeing?

I'm seeing high levels
of tau accumulation

in the amygdala and in all
subcortical regions.

That's where the damaged neurons are.

And what does that mean?

It means she has the brain

of a 50yearold defensive lineman.

It means you were right, Ms. Carlan.

The pattern in which her brain lit up

indicates an extremely high
likely that Ms. Daniels suffers

from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy.

I'm sorry.

I need you to testify in a hearing

so we can use this scan as evidence.

This isn't FDA approved.

It hasn't been tested widely enough.

It'll never hold up in a court hearing.

Yes, it will.

We'll make sure of it.

If you walk past the back door
of the library

at Carver Elementary School
in Lincoln, Nebraska,

you'll see a line of students.

Almost anytime,
but always in the afternoon

after lunch and recess.

If you don't know Carver, it
looks a little odd. This line.

Tucked behind a building,
pressed up against a hedge.

But if you peek around the corner,

you see it.

You understand.

A drinking fountain.

Blue. Three heads.

Always in the shade. Always cold.

Carver opened in 1961,

and nobody remembers why

this drinking fountain
was put back there,

but it's been a part
of the school for over 50 years.

Future farmers, accountants,
mayor, an astronaut,

doctors, a few lawyers.

They all drank the cold water
from the library fountain.

So did Theo Mars...

every day for the last two years.

He's seven now.

Wants to be a scientist
or a racecar driver.

He's still deciding.

Either way, it's going to be a challenge

because Theo has Leukemia.

Because of the library fountain.

Because Jack Lewis built a plant
next to the school

and allowed toxins
to seep into the cold water

that Theo and his classmates at Carver

lined up to drink every day.

Jack Lewis knew this water
was contaminated.

He knew this contaminated water
was making kids sick.

And he knew how to stop it.

And Jack Lewis said no.

What will you say now?

Because there are only two sides here...

KapplerHays or Carver Elementary.

Jack Lewis or Theo Mars.

The choice is yours.

Carver Elementary is...
unremarkable in a lot of ways.

But... it has real spirit.

Heart. Character.

There's a saying at the school...

"Never count a Carver kid out."

So... don't.

Your Honor, the government
strongly objects

to the admission
of any experimental tests...

They weren't done by some kid
with a chemistry set.

They come from one of the
world's leading CTE researchers.

And while we sincerely hope they
yield results in the future,

in the present,

the only reliable diagnosis
of CTE is through autopsy.

Well, my client prefers not to
wait for her autopsy results

to mount her defense.

Your Honor, if she had a diagnosis

of Alzheimer's disease,

we wouldn't be begging
for it to be admitted,

unless this was 1983.

If she were a diabetic,

I could argue low insulin as a factor,

but not 20 years ago.

Every new thing we learn
about mental illness,

we learn from a study
that started as experimental.

Chloe Daniels has a disease,
and she shouldn't be punished

for her bad timing in getting it.

Mental illness has always
been problematic for us.

At one point, schizophrenics
were burned as witches.

Depressives were lobotomized.

Women with anxiety were sterilized.

It seems like so long ago, right?

But out there, now,

lives are being wasted in institutions,

families broken up.

People are living and dying
under overpasses

because they have no idea
that a pill could fix it.

Chloe Daniels has lost a marriage, a son,

and, soon... her life.

Even if we can show that she has CTE,

a cure is a long way off.

She has a disease,

and letting us mount her best defense,

all we're really deciding
is whether she dies of it

in prison or out.

They offered a deferred
prosecution agreement.

Essentially a term of probation.

She'll be supervised by
pretrial services for two years.

That's good.

You don't look good.

She needs help,

someone to take care of her.

This disease is degenerative.
She's only gonna get worse.

What about her family?

Her son doesn't want anything
to do with her.

She's burned every bridge.

My sister was like that.

I have a sister.

Where is she?

I don't know.

Madame foreperson,

how do you find
the defendant, Jack Lewis,

on Count One of the Indictment,

violating the Clean Water Act,

guilty or not guilty?

Guilty.

Are we going to discover
electricity next?

I know what you think.

Do you? Really?

I know. I'm a dinosaur.
I don't like change.

I'm the mother of the Mother Court.

I'm protecting all these antique
traditions and institutions.

I guess you do know what I think.

It's not that. I mean, that is all true.

I used to take the Wheel
home every weekend.

You didn't know that, did you?

I'm sure it's a federal crime.

It is.

Larry and I couldn't decide
about a lot of things.

Not big things. Little things.

Where to go to dinner.
Where to go on vacation.

So, I started bringing the Wheel home,

and we'd write all our options
on little pieces of paper

and put them in the Wheel
and the Wheel would decide.

We trusted the Wheel.

It got kind of addictive in our home.

When Jason was deciding
where to go to college,

he used the Wheel.

For real!

He went to Wesleyan because of the Wheel.

These are bigger things.

When Larry... got sick...

two days before he died, he
wanted me to read him a story.

He couldn't decide.

So we gave it to the Wheel.

And I read him
"Hound of the Baskervilles."

He liked that.

The Wheel was fair.

It saw us through a lot of joy
and excruciating sadness.

I could... take it home, Nick...

but that's hard now.

It belongs here.

Hey.

What are you still doing here?

I got a trial in the morning.

I'm gonna grab something to eat.

If you...?

I think I might be out for this one.

I'm gonna finish up here
and then I got a thing later.

A thing? With a girl?

Hopefully.

Okay, well, if you change your mind,

I'll probably be watching
"Charade" in my pajamas.

I'd expect no less.

Good night, Kate.

Good night.

Jack Lewis is going to jail.

KapplerHays agreed to
triple the health fund

to $150 million.

This is a day.

You should go home. Celebrate.

I'm good.

I didn't think you could pull it off.

I know you didn't.

I never watched "Rocky." Not interested.

Because I don't want to
just "go the distance."

I like "Rocky IV"

because he wins
against a roidedup commie.

Whoever you are,
I prefer you to Seth Oliver.

Hey.

Hey.

I won.

What is this?

I wanted to say thank you.

Okay, Seth. Great.

And also apologize.

I left.

It was hard, but it was
the right thing to do.

I can't have it both ways.

I can't leave you and then lean on you.

It's not fair. It's wrong.

It's not good for either of us.

No matter how...
right it feels in the moment.

Again... I underestimated you.

And you promise you'll call me
if you need anything?

Yes. Thank you.

Jill?

Um... you said you'd call my son?

I wasn't able to reach him.

But I'll keep trying. I promise.
