All language subtitles for Suits.LA.S01E10.WEB

I think that you are
an outstanding lawyer,

and I just think that we could
do great things together.

- No doubt we could.

- You must feel like
you're responsible

for this woman's death,
and as far as I'm concerned,

if you don't
do something about it, you are.

- Bowie says he couldn't have
murdered the woman

because he was busy breaking
into Greg Fisher's house.

- The movie producer?
- I need you to get him

to give us the security footage
from his cameras.

- He signed with Erica.

- You want this?
- What do you want for it?

- You have something of mine,
and I'm here to take it back.

You saw something you wanted,

you knew how much it
mattered to me,

yet you didn't give a damn.

- You still think I did it.

- Why is it so important
I believe you?

- Because I'm a human being,
Stuart,

and I would never take
another life.

- I can't come in
and run this division

and then fall into
some kind of relationship

with a name partner.
Gotta be one or the other.

- Can I have some time
to think about it?

- Don't take too long.
- I won't.

- As your friend,
I'm telling you,

you'll look like an idiot
if you bring charges.

- Told you this was a courtesy.

We arrested him ten minutes
before I walked in here.

- I'm thinking
about getting a earring.

- No.
- No?

You had one.
- I was--I was 13.

And it looked way better on me
than it ever would on you.

- Man, why you got
to be like that?

- For your own protection,
Stuart.

- Time will tell.
- No, it won't.

- Fine.

You think it's going to be you?
- I know it's going to be me.

- Excuse me.
- Look at the facts, Stuart.

- The facts are,
I've outscored you

on every test we've ever taken
since our first year.

- I'm sorry,
I almost fell asleep there,

like every professor
during every oral argument

that you have ever given.

- It was one time.
Callahan had a new baby.

He got no sleep
the night before.

- He got plenty of sleep--
during your presentation.

- All right, gentlemen.

I'm sure you're both dying
to know which one of you

is number one
and which is number two.

- Dean Harris,
deliver the bad news.

Put Stuart out of his misery.

- Not so fast, Mr. Black.

For the first time
in the history of Columbia Law,

the top two students
are exactly tied.

- What?
- Really?

- Therefore,
for the first time,

the winner will be determined
by a mock trial.

- Thank God.

- Can't we just take a test
or something?

- This is a test, Mr. Lane.

A father and two sons
were in a car.

All three tested drunk.

The older brother was driving.

The father was
in the front seat.

The younger brother,
who is now in a coma,

was passed out in the back
when the older brother

hit and killed a pedestrian.

You'll recruit people
to play their parts.

The real question is,
which one of you

is going to be
the prosecution

and who is going to be
the defense?

- I don't ever want
to be defense, ever.

- That's fine by me.
- Prosecution.

- Thank you.
- Defense.

- One more thing--

you'll each be allowed
to change one fact or detail

about the case,

because in the real world,

curveballs come up at court
every day.

- Got your ass-kicking tie on.

- They're all ass-kicking ties.

- Well, if you're about
to go kick Isaac's ass,

why'd you have so much trouble
sleeping last night?

- I thought we agreed
no analyzing me

before I go to court.
- When did we agree to that?

- Right now
when I just said it.

- Isaac said something to me.
It got to me.

He said I'm responsible
for this murder

because I shared information
he gave me with my client,

and four hours later,
a woman was dead.

- Well, did you have any idea
that this might happen

when you shared it
with your client?

- Of course not.

- Well, maybe Isaac's saying
it's your fault

because he really thinks
it's his.

- What good does that do me?

- If you can see
that it isn't his fault,

maybe you can see
it isn't yours.

- Okay, what was so important
it couldn't wait?

- Your Honor,
I asked for this hearing

because this case
should never go to trial.

- Said every
defense lawyer ever.

We have more than enough
evidence to proceed.

- And last I checked, the judge
is the one who decides that.

- What's this?

- Security-camera footage
which proves David Bowie

was at a different location
when Janet Fields was murdered.

- You've got to be kidding me.

You're saying
he couldn't have murdered her

because he was robbing
someone else?

- Yes, I am, and if you want
to charge him

with that, Isaac, be my guest.

- I have to say,

this is compelling grounds
for dismissal.

- Your Honor,
I want to subpoena the person

who gave him this footage.

- He has nothing
to do with this.

- They're using this footage
as an alibi,

and I don't know anything
about where it came from

or the person
who gave it to them.

- Would you like to examine
the guy who installed

the security cameras?

Or, oh, what about the man
who invented film?

- If it helps prove
that evidence is a lie,

I'll subpoena your mother.

- My mother wouldn't get caught
on film.

- Okay, that's enough.

The footage is compelling,
but Mr. Adani can question

the man who provided it.
- Your Honor, I think--

- Whatever you're going to say,
save it till next time.

We're done here.

- Okay, I'm here.

What's going on?

- I just got a subpoena
for Greg Fisher

to answer questions
about that security footage.

- And?
- I need you to make sure

Greg's dirty laundry
doesn't get aired in public.

- Why are you asking me
and not Stuart?

- A few years ago,
Stuart took something from me.

I couldn't stand it.

And I couldn't stand
the way he took it.

So I used that security footage
as leverage to get it back,

and I didn't do it gently.

- So he won't do this for you,
but he might do it for me.

- Yes.

- I'll take care of it.

- Thank you.

- Wait a second.

Is this why your mother's
sculpture suddenly reappeared?

- It is.

- What do you mean you couldn't
stand the way he took it?

He stole it?

- No, he tricked me.

He made me look like a fool.

- How?

- Ted, I want to go over
the ground rules.

- Can it wait a minute, Stuart?
I'm going to go on a run.

Unless you'd like to join me.
- You know I can't do that.

The Lane men suffer
from knock-knees.

It's not a laughing matter.

- I'm sorry.
It's not a laughing matter.

Okay, Stuart. Hit me.
What would you like to discuss?

- I want to know if we're
in a gunfight or a knife fight.

- Stuart, you're my roommate,
my best friend, and I love you,

but I'm going to tear you
to pieces,

and I don't want you to come
crying to me when I win.

- That's exactly
what I wanted to hear,

because when this is
all said and done,

you're going to be
the one crying.

- Okay.

Um...

B-before we actually
get started here,

there is--there is one thing.

I would...

I would really like Eddie
to play the younger brother.

- The brother's in a coma.
He won't have anything to do.

- I know, but I want him
to have a chance

to feel like he's part
of the action.

- That's a great idea.

Of course...

on one condition.

I get to pick
all the other parts.

- Are you kidding me?

I'm trying to do a nice thing
for my brother here.

You're going to leverage it?

- You just said
we're in a gunfight.

This is war.
War is hell.

- That was a test. I wouldn't
have it any other way.

- All right, hey, you want
to do the thing one time

before we're on opposite sides?

- We're already
on opposite sides.

- Come on.

Okay.

- Really?

- No.

- War really is hell.

- May I speak with you
for a second?

- What is it?
- The last time that we spoke,

you were, uh,
looking for an answer,

and I had some unexpected
business in New York.

But I thought about it a lot,
and I have one.

- It doesn't matter.

- I thought that we
were going to have

a conversation about this.
- I thought so, too.

And then you disappeared
for a week.

- So that's it?

- I don't know
what you want me to say.

Actions speak louder
than words.

I've been up and running

as the head of the
Criminal Division since Monday.

- Okay.

Well, uh, if you are up
and running,

then we need to make
an announcement

as soon as possible.

Big, splashy case, preferably
related to entertainment--

Do you have anything
that fits the bill?

- You know Sierra Carson?
- Of course I do.

Teen star accused
of assaulting her father.

That will make
a great announcement.

- Not quite.
- Why?

- Because I still
haven't signed her.

- Then we're getting off
on the wrong foot.

- What's going on, Ted?
- Nothing's going on.

But the answer to the question,

"do you have anything that fits
the bill?" should've been no.

- Let me get this straight.

You want me to play
the part of a therapist?

- Well, you are studying
to be a therapist.

- I think that's a bad idea.

- Why?

- Because you and Ted
are friends.

This has trouble
written all over it,

not to mention that you said
the gloves are off.

I mean, he's going to use me
against you.

- All Ted can do is ask

if the brother admitted
to feeling guilt in session.

And when he does,
I come in and say,

you're covered
by doctor-patient privilege.

Nothing more can happen.
Trust me.

- Stuart, why is this
so important to you?

- You told me you fell in love
with Alan Sepiol

while watching him win
debate club regionals.

- That was high school.

- I saw the look on your face

when you were telling me
about watching him.

- And you want me
to have that same look

when I'm watching you?
- Yes.

And the only reason
you'd say no

is if you think
I can't beat him.

- You have got to get over
this chip on your shoulder

that you think
he's better than you.

- What do you think
I'm trying to do?

- Okay, I'll do it.
- You're the best.

- Yeah,
I'm the best girlfriend ever.

- Hey, we need to talk,
and we need to talk now.

- Excuse me?
- Erica did us a solid

by giving us that footage,

and now her client is being
dragged into your case.

- I'm not the one who
called Fisher as a witness.

- No, but you're the one
that knows what was stolen.

- You mean I know the identity
of Fisher's co-star

on that sex tape?
- Yes.

And you better make damn sure
that none of that comes out.

- I don't appreciate your tone.
- I don't care.

You asked for my help.

I got Erica to do this.
We owe her.

- Well, he's got
to say something

about what was stolen.

- What he's going to say
is the truth.

Two pieces of jewelry
and 20,000 in cash

were taken from that safe,
and that is it.

- Fine.

I'll do my best
to keep the rest out of it.

- No, that's not good enough.

Erica told me what you did
to get her mother's sculpture,

and you owe her a hell of a lot
more than just giving it back.

- Whether I owe Erica or not,

my job is to serve my client,
not your girlfriend.

And if one conflicts
with the other,

you know
what's going to happen.

- Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury, I'll be brief.

The defendant was drunk.

He plowed into the victim,

killing him
in his father's BMW,

and he admitted to all of this
at the scene.

This trial will be short.

Your only job is deciding
what the punishment should be.

- Your Honor, the prosecution
and I agree on one thing.

This is going to be
a short trial,

because in lieu
of opening statements,

I move for a directed verdict.

- Objection.
On what basis?

- On the basis
they got the wrong guy.

I have a witness
I'd like to call to the stand.

- What witness?

- The father
of the man on trial.

- What are you doing?
- Winning.

Who was driving the car

on the night the victim
was killed?

- I was.
- And yet, at the scene,

your son said
he was the one driving.

Why would he do that?

- Because he wanted
to protect me.

- Why would you let him do it?
- Because I was drunk.

And I was touched by the depth
of his feelings for me.

But I had to come forward,

because as much as he loves me,
I love him even more.

- Dean, I'm sorry
to break character,

but I want to go
on the record as saying

that if Stuart
is going to go down this road,

this counts
as his one allowance

to change the facts
of the case.

- I didn't change anything.

I simply informed my client

if his father was really
the one driving that car,

this case would be over.

- You mean you got that bastard
to lie on the stand?

- I would never suborn perjury
in a moot court

or anywhere else.

- No, you'd just bring
my father into it.

- All right, that's enough.

The only thing he did
was pull one hell of a move.

He didn't change any facts.

I'm going to give you
15 minutes

to prepare for cross.

- What the hell are you doing?

- I'm representing my client
to the best of my ability.

- I mean picking my father
to play that part

when you could have had
anybody else?

- Oh, get over it, Ted.

All you got to do is prove
that he lied up there.

- The only way to do that
is to get him to say

that he was sacrificing himself
for his son,

which is something
that he would never do.

- Sounds to me
like you're saying

I picked the right choice
to play your father.

- Remember,

you started this.

- I'm not going to have to say
anything about the sex tape,

correct?

- No, you're not.
- You're sure?

- I'm about to make sure.

Amanda, what is it?
I am a little busy.

- I'm trying to sign a client

that has
an entertainment element,

and I could use
a little background on her.

- Who's the client?
- Sierra Carson.

- When are you going
to meet with her?

- I'm due in court in an hour.
- Then I can't help you.

Because right in this moment,
I am in court myself.

Hey, just so we're clear--

that sex tape, off the table.

- You want clarity?
I'll tell you what I told Rick.

I'll do my best,
but I make no guarantees,

because my client's
best interest

is more important than yours.

- Gentlemen, are we ready?

- Mr. Fisher,

what exactly was stolen
the night your security camera

conveniently caught Mr. Bowie
on tape?

- A watch, a bracelet that
belonged to my grandmother,

and $20,000 cash.

- Family heirloom.
How sad.

You must have called the police

the second you discovered
what was missing.

- I never called the police.

- So money and things of
sentimental value were stolen,

yet you never reported it.

Why would that be?

- I used other channels
to get it back.

- I think you didn't report it

because you staged
this whole thing

as a favor to David Bowie.
- Objection.

There's no evidence of that.
- Yes, there is.

Mr. Fisher, isn't it true
that you hired David Bowie

six months ago?

- Yes, I did.

- For what?
- I'd rather not say.

- And I'd rather you did.

- I hired him to retrieve
an item of mine

that someone else had.

- So you hired him
to commit a crime?

- I didn't ask
how he got it back.

- You mean you didn't care
how he got it back.

- Objection.
- He committed a crime for you

or got it back by some miracle.

Either way, you have a soft
spot in your heart for him.

- I don't care if he--

- You set up this whole fake
robbery to create an alibi.

- Your Honor. Your Honor!
- That's enough.

I have to say, Mr. Adani
has created enough doubt

about the motives
of this witness

for us to move forward
with trial.

- Your Honor, what if I could
prove this man hates my client

and would never lift
a finger to help him?

- Stuart, do not do this.

- I'll do what I have to do.
- You know what?

This is why people
don't like you.

You put yourself
above the team every time.

- I'm putting my client
above everything else,

which is what
a lawyer is supposed to do.

- Teddy, this is great.
We're all in the trial.

- Yeah, Eddie,
it's really great.

Do you mind if I talk to Dad
for a second?

- I saw you storm off earlier.

You all finished
with your temper tantrum?

- What are you even doing here?

- I'm here to see
what kind of man you are.

- Walk me through that.

- I knew this would put you
in a tough position.

So will you rise
to the occasion,

or did your mother
make you weak?

- My mother raised
me and Eddie.

- She didn't prepare you
for things like this

that happen in real life.

- In real life, you wouldn't be
lying about driving that car.

You would have been
driving that car,

and then you would have
pressured me or Eddie

to say that it was us.

- Teddy, I don't like this.

- Mr. Black,

are you ready
to cross-examine the father?

- Your Honor, I was going
to call this man up there

and say that his confession
was a lie,

that he was only claiming to be
behind the wheel

because he loves his son.

But the truth is that
he has no love for his son,

and he actually was
the one driving the car.

- What's going on here?
- And therefore,

I move to place him
under arrest

for vehicular manslaughter.
- No, no, this is my client.

If he's found innocent, I win.
- Except for one thing.

I'm using my one change to make
the father the new defendant.

- Stuart,
I'm afraid that Ted's right.

- And since the new defendant
has just confessed to the crime

in front of the jury,

I rest my case.

- Okay.

We'll pick this up tomorrow
with Mr. Lane.

I have to say, this is proving
to be quite the battle.

You may think I'm weak,

but I'm certainly not stupid,

because I just found a way
to call you a terrible father

and win my trial,
all at the same time.

- You going to ice me out
all night,

or do you want
to talk about it?

- I don't know, Stuart--you got
any more surprises for me?

Maybe you want to call
Adolf Hitler to the stand.

- You're going to compare
your father with Adolf Hitler?

- He was a really bad father.

My father and I had a blowup
in front of Eddie, Stuart.

You know how much
that upsets him.

How would you feel

if I had done
something like that to you?

- I'd think it's not personal.
You're just trying to win.

Look, man, if that's--

if that's what you think,
then that's what you think.

- Ms. Carson, aggravated
assault of a loved one

is a serious allegation.

Do you have anything to say
before I rule on your bail?

- I'd prefer my client
not answer, Your Honor.

- Are you sure?
- Your Honor, if I may.

Ms. Carson is a public figure
without a passport.

Not only should her bail
be set at zero,

she should be given
a new attorney.

- I'm her attorney.
- This person is not qualified.

- He was appointed
by the court.

- Because Ms. Carson was told

she couldn't afford one
herself.

- I can't.
- Yes, you can.

Your Honor,
I'd like to file a motion

for conservator-in-limine.

- She already has
a conservator.

- Yes, her father, the man
she's accused of assaulting.

Do we think
that's the best person

to decide whether or not she
can spend money she earned

on a competent attorney?
- I take offense at that.

- Be that as it may, Arnold,

it appears you are not as up
to the task as Ms. Stevens.

But I don't want to force
representation on anyone.

Ms. Carson,

would you prefer to be
represented by this woman?

- Don't you want to know
if I did it?

- Not right now.
- Why not?

- Because if you didn't,
I'll believe you.

And if you did, I'm going
to prove he deserved it.

- How can you know all that?

- Because I was emancipated
from my father.

- I believe I have myself
a new attorney, Your Honor.

- You're the therapist of
the former defendant, correct?

- I am.

- And did the two of you
ever talk about his feelings?

- Of course we did.
That's the point of therapy.

- In that case, did the former
defendant, my new client's son,

ever say anything about feeling
guilty about driving his car

into the victim?
- Yes, many times.

- Objection.

That answer is subject
to doctor-patient privilege.

- Your Honor,
that privilege only applies

when the patient
is in jeopardy.

And since the prosecution
saw fit to dismiss

the former defendant's case,
there is no jeopardy.

- Objection overruled.

- So since my new client
clearly wasn't driving the car,

why would he say he was?

- You don't have to be
a therapist to answer that.

I mean,
what father wouldn't lie

about being behind the wheel
to protect his own son?

- Which means
he wasn't behind the wheel

and my new client is innocent.

No more questions, Your Honor.

- For the record, who paid
for those therapy sessions?

Was it your patient,
or was it his father?

- His father.
- So you owe the man.

- I don't owe anyone.

My responsibility
is to my patient,

not the man who pays his bills.

- So to clarify,

you wouldn't lie
to protect the defendant?

- No, I wouldn't.
- Good.

Because my real question is,
would you lie

to protect his attorney?
- What?

- Isn't it true that you're
in a relationship

with Stuart Lane?
- Yes, but--

- Did you not recently tell me
that you wanted to marry him?

- I told you that
in confidence.

- Your Honor--
- And if you want to marry him,

doesn't it stand to reason

that you would do anything
within your power

to help him get ahead?
- Dean!

- Isn't it true that
your future with Stuart Lane

is far more secure if he
finishes first in this class

rather than second?

- Yes, but I wouldn't ever
lie for him--

- But you just said,

what father wouldn't lie
to protect his own son?

Do you expect a jury to buy
that a future wife

wouldn't lie
to protect her own husband?

- Okay, I am done
with this entire thing.

- Helen. Helen, wait.

- Damn it, Stuart,

Ted just revealed
something intimate

that I wanted to share
with you myself.

- I know it's upsetting,

but, Helen, hearing you want
to marry me is good news.

- That doesn't make it
any better.

And on top of that,
he attacked my integrity

in front of everyone
in that stupid room.

- He didn't say those things
about you.

He said them about
the character you're playing.

- Are you kidding me?

I tell you how I feel,
and you're going to lawyer me?

Do you even understand me
at all?

- How am I the bad guy here?
Ted did this.

- I'll tell you how.

I told you I didn't want to do
this, and you didn't listen.

So go back in there and do what
you have to do, but I am done.

- Mr. Lane,
another five minutes,

I was going to declare
a winner,

and it wasn't going to be you.
- I'm sorry, Your Honor.

- How would you like
to proceed?

- Defense would like to call

the younger brother
to the stand.

- What? No, he can't do that.

The--the younger brother
is in a coma.

- He was, but I want to use
my one change

to say he just woke up.

- He was passed out
the entire time.

He doesn't know anything.

- He can still speak about both
his brother and his father.

- In that case,
we'll convene tomorrow

with the brother on the stand.

- Stuart, don't do this.

- It's too late for that.

You went after Helen.

I'm going after Eddie.

Mr. Fisher,
you said you hired my client

to retrieve an item
someone had taken.

Was this item part
of what was stolen that night?

- It was.
- I'm confused.

Why would my client want
to steal something

he retrieved for you
in the first place?

- I really can't be sure.

- Well, I think
we'd all be sure

if you just told us
what the item was.

It was a sex tape.

- What the hell does this
have to do with anything?

- You're about
to find out, Isaac,

because Mr. Fisher is
about to tell us

the name of the woman
he is with on that tape.

- Your Honor,
my client's right to privacy

precludes him from being forced
to answer this question.

- It doesn't preclude me.
- Stuart.

- You filmed yourself
having sex with Dana David,

who's married
to the head of the studio

who controls
every project you have.

And isn't it true
that affair coming out

could ruin your career?

- I guess
we're about to find out.

- So he stole that tape
to blackmail you,

and you hate him for it?
- He did, and I do.

- Your Honor...

we've provided
rock-solid evidence

David Bowie could not have
committed this murder.

The prosecution's
ridiculous theory

that these two fabricated
this evidence

has been blown
out of the water.

He tried.
He failed.

This case never
should have been brought

in the first place.

It's time for it
to be dismissed.

- Your Honor, the people--
- I've heard enough.

I'm dismissing the charges.
This case is over.

- Look, I know we had
some issues along the way,

but I was wrong about you.

You got the job done.
Thanks, Stuart.

- I don't care
what just happened.

You told him
about Janet Fields.

He killed her,

and you know it.

- Stuart, I need to know
what you're planning for Eddie.

- I'm going to ask him
some questions.

He's going to read
from a script

that says the father said that
he was the one driving the car

to protect the brother.

And the brother let him do it
because he hates the father,

hates Eddie,
and is a selfish bastard

that would do anything
to protect his own skin.

- Are you seriously going to
make Eddie say that I hate him?

- No, I'm going to have him say
his fictitious brother

hates his character.

- He can't tell
the difference, Stuart.

- Neither could Helen.

- You're the one
who picked her.

- And you picked Eddie.
- Not to testify.

I wanted him to feel
like he was a part of things.

- Well, now he is
a part of things.

And if him getting
a little upset

is the price
he has to pay for me winning--

- Jesus, Stuart, you used
my father, I used Helen!

We're even!

- I don't want to be even!

- Okay.
All right, no, I get it.

This is about you
being jealous of me

and just doing anything to win.

- No, this is about you being
jealous that I'm going to win.

If you want to stop me from
putting Eddie on the stand,

all you have to do is forfeit.

But you'll never do that,

because it would mean
admitting to everyone

that I'm better than you.

- I hear things went well.

Why do you look
like someone killed your puppy?

- Because I used
falsified evidence.

- What am I looking at?
- Bowie's alibi.

Something about it
kept gnawing at me,

so I came back
to take a look at it.

- He doctored the time stamp?

- It's not even him.
- I see his face right there.

- That's what he wants you
to focus on.

But inside,
he's masked the whole time.

He breaks in at the time
of Janet Fields' death,

voids the alarms,
hacks the safe, gets the goods.

By the time we get to this
last shot, it's an hour later.

- Isn't it continuous?
- Almost.

He reaches the door
at 2:35 a.m. and 37 seconds.

Then he goes out of frame
and reappears outside...

20 feet away.
- At 2:35 a.m. and 37 seconds.

- So, unless he can teleport
in zero time...

- This isn't real.
- No, it's not.

I was so stuck on the fact
that if Bowie were guilty,

he must have hired
someone to kill her.

But the more
I thought about it,

if he wanted Janet Fields dead,

he would have done it himself.

- Stuart.
- He murdered that woman

because of me, and I'm the
reason he got away with it.

- Stuart, do not do
what you are thinking.

- I have an obligation.
I know that evidence was false.

- No, you don't, because
you shouldn't have looked

at it in the first place.
- God damn it!

Her blood is on my hands!

- Stuart, I don't like
this case or this client,

but you didn't kill this woman.

Take the damn win...

and move on.

- Hey.

- Helen,
what are you doing here?

- You were supposed to
come home two hours ago

and you didn't call.

What's going on?

- Helen.

What are you doing here?

- I came to tell you that
I'm not mad at you anymore.

- I meant I thought
you wouldn't want to come here

if you thought Ted were here.

- Well, I knew Ted
wasn't going to be here

because he came to see me.
- No.

- Stuart, look,
he--he apologized to me.

- He came to you, told you
what I was going to do,

and now you're here
to talk me out of it.

- Yes, I am.

Do you know
what something like this

could do to someone like Eddie?

Because I do.

- He wouldn't back down if the
shoe were on the other foot.

- We're not talking about
what Ted would do.

We're talking about
what you're going to do.

- I'm going to win.

You said
that you wanted to spend

the rest of your life with me.

This is about me being number
one and setting up our future.

- No, it's proving to the world
that you're better than Ted

at all costs.

- I never get to be
the best at anything!

Why don't you just go tell him
to forfeit to save Eddie?

- Because he's not
the man I love, Stuart.

You are.

- I'm here early,
like you asked.

- Eddie, why don't you hop up
on the witness stand

and wait for Stuart?

Okay, before Eddie
has to testify,

I want you to change
your plea to guilty

and throw yourself
on the mercy of the court.

- Oh, I get it.
You want to win by cheating.

I didn't know
you had that in you.

I like that.
- I'm not cheating.

I'm asking for this...

So that Eddie doesn't have
to take the stand.

- Well, then
I'm not going to do it.

- Why not?

- Because he has always been
your Achilles' heel.

He's made you weak
since you were little,

and now you're asking me
to get you out of this.

The answer is no.
- Dad, come--

- Would you toughen
the hell up?

You let
that clown defense attorney

do whatever it is
he's going to do,

and then you
cross-examine Eddie,

and you rip him to pieces.
- I'm not going to do that.

- Then lay down
and forfeit.

But stop blaming me
for your problems.

I'm sick of it.
- You're a real son of a bitch.

- You don't have the first clue
how the world works--

- Stop fighting.

- Looks like everyone's here.
Is the defense ready?

Stuart?

- I'm not calling
any more witnesses.

Defense rests, Your Honor.

- Then it's time
for closing statements.

Is the prosecution ready?

- The prosecution withdraws
its case, Your Honor.

We got the wrong guy.

- Well, this has
never happened before.

- Maybe not, but...

as a prosecutor,
I want to understand that...

justice is more important
than winning.

- Well, then I guess
we're all done here.

- I knew it.

Weak is the kind of lawyer
you want to be.

- This isn't about what
kind of lawyer I want to be.

This is about
what kind of man I am.

And like always,

it's the opposite of you.

- Thank you, Stuart.

- Right back at you.

Now can we do it?

- You bet your ass we can.

- Hey, coming in.

- Come on.
- Come on in, buddy.

- Group hug.

- You wanted something
for a splashy press release.

Here you go.

- You signed her.
How'd you make that happen?

- From the time she was a kid,

her father managed every move,

dictated every choice.

She felt trapped
with no way out.

I related to that.

- I was under the impression

that you had a good
relationship with your father.

- That's my stepfather.

My biological father...

Real piece of work.

- Mine too.

When Sierra was arrested,

she said she was innocent--
do you believe her?

- I'm pretty sure she did it.

Is that going to be a problem?

- When I offered you
the position,

I said that you could
do with the department

what you see fit,
and I meant it.

- Good.
- Ah, hey, just...

I--the other day...

I shouldn't have snapped
at you like that.

I think my...

feelings might have been
a little hurt.

- If I'm being honest,

maybe mine were, too.

- I should have called you
when I was in New York.

- I should have waited
for you to come back.

- Are you sure that
this is what you want?

Because--
- Ted,

this is how
it has to be for now.

- I got to take that.
- Yeah.

- Hey.

I heard about
what happened in court.

I know that is not
what you wanted.

- Did you hear Greg Fisher
dropped me?

- No, I didn't.

- I came to you because
I thought you understood

this was important to me.
- I did.

- Then I revealed to you things
that I'd rather not have.

You said you'd take care of it.

- I did take care of it.
- In what goddamn way?

- I got him to say
he would do his best.

I'm sorry it didn't work.
- He did his best, all right.

He humiliated my client
and ruined my reputation

all in one shot.

- Then why the hell are you
coming to me and not Stuart?

- Because this all started when
you asked me to do him a favor,

and it ended up
biting me in the ass.

- No, you used that to get
your mother's sculpture back,

so that is not
what this is about.

- What are you getting at?

- This is you, once again,
using what is going on

to find a reason to be near me

instead of just admitting

being near me
is really what you want.

- This all started with you.

Your fake client
and wanting a quote

and calling
and the flirting

when you know that I--
- You what?

And don't say that you don't
like it, because you do.

What is stopping you?

I can't.

- Well, then I can't do this
anymore.

- What are you saying?

- I've been honest with you
about what I want.

I want to be with you.

If you don't want to be
with me...

I think we just need
to stay away from each other.

- Not so fast, Counselor.

- Bowie.
What are you doing here?

- Could ask you the same,
but I already know the answer.

'Cause that's
Isaac Adani's house.

You found out something,

and you're here
to clear your conscience.

- I figured out you doctored
that footage,

which means you're a murderer.

And you used me
to pinpoint your victim

and hand-deliver your alibi.

- You tell that to Adani,
you get disbarred.

- I know how the law works.
- I'm just here to remind you.

- Remind me of what?

That you'd kill any witness
that would testify against you?

- Yeah, I killed Janet Fields,

and I will kill you.

But I'm not going to have to,

because you don't want
to hurt Helen

or your sweet children
or even poor Isaac Adani.

There is nothing I won't do

to keep myself
from going to prison.

- Well, before you go ahead
and put me down,

you should know
that Isaac Adani

is in that house right now
watching us.

- No, he's not.

Isaac Adani is out to dinner
with his wife.

- Isaac Adani
might be out for dinner...

but I'm not.

- Ted.
- Stuart, how are you?

- I know you. You're Ted Black.

- Yes, I am,

and I recorded everything
that you just said.

So if anything ever happens
to my good friend,

you are going to spend the rest
of your miserable life

in prison.
- Uh-uh.

I know how the law works.

I didn't consent
to being recorded,

so you can't use that.

- I'm sorry, you misunderstood.

I got here

about an hour
before you even showed up.

You see, I'm collecting footage
for a documentary

that I'm putting together.

It's on the mating habits
of the pileated woodpecker.

Your voice was a byproduct

and therefore
completely admissible.

And before you start whining

about attorney-client
privilege,

Black & Associates
is not your law firm.

Now be on your goddamn way.

- Okay.

I was never here.

But if that gets heard...

you know what I'm capable of.

- Ted...

I don't get it.
How are you here?

- Helen called and wanted me
to take care of you.

- She told you to set up Bowie
outside of Adani's house?

- She wanted me
to talk you out of coming here

in the first place,

but I knew that you were going
to do it anyway,

like I know a guy like Bowie

isn't going to take
his eyes off you

until he's sure it's over.

So I did the next best thing.

- So you didn't listen
to my wife?

- Well, she just goes on
and on, and blah, blah, blah.

And, "Ted, protect my husband."

It's enough already.

Thank you, brother.
- Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, hey.

Let's get you home, all right?

- Pileated woodpecker?

- What?
I mean, I'm--I'm a birdsmith.

- You're a something.
- Did you pee your pants?

- The contents of my underpants
are none of your business.

It's like a damn mudslide
in there.

- I got to say,
you take away us casting

only people we cared about,

it was one hell
of a heavyweight fight.

- You're not kidding.

Getting the father to admit
he did it was masterful.

- You countering
by arresting the father

was a stroke of genius.

- Using the therapist
against her own patient.

- Forcing her to admit
to an improper relationship

with the defense attorney--it
was one haymaker after another.

- It sure was a slugfest.

- Speaking of the therapist...

- Yeah.

- When exactly did Helen tell
you she wanted to marry me?

- A few months ago.
- "A few months ago"?

You kept this to yourself
the entire time?

Didn't want to clue me in?

- She asked me to keep it
a secret, Stuart,

and I didn't want
to betray her trust.

- Except in front
of a room full of strangers.

- Let's not relive that.

- Just tell me--
what exactly did she say?

- She said that if she met me
first, she'd be with me.

- Oh, my God, seriously!
- And she--

I am being serious, Stuart.

I mean, she didn't exactly say
that, but come on.

I'm the smoothest man
with the ladies you know.

- Hey, boys.

Ted, this is
my friend Samantha.

- Hi.
- Um...

Sorry.
- Are you okay?

- Uh, yeah, I'm fine.

It's nice to "seet" you,
Mamantha.

- Nice to "seet" you,
too, Fred.

- It's Ted.
- I know.

- Oh.

- Smoothest guy I know.

- Okay, he's settled.

He said he was going to take
a shower, and...

he's in your hands now.

- Ted, I can't thank you
enough.

I know you and Stuart have
had your differences lately,

but...

you're still family.

- I know.

You too.

- Aaron. Aaron!
