ROLAND:
Admit it.

You like having me here.

I mean, you didn't
think you would.

But then, gradually,
you realized

that Blum is like
a shot in the arm.

And, let me just also say,

I did not walk into your office

with lofty expectations.

But since I've been here,
I've... been impressed.

Everybody I've met here

is competent,

clean,

and articulate.

So, kudos.

But I've
also noticed

what you lack.

And that--
if I may be so crass--

is balls.

Balls?

Yes. Balls.

And that's why I'm crashing
your little...

end-of-year meeting here.

You are all good at
working within the rules.

But there's a reason
why rules don't benefit

people like you and me.

We're not part
of the establishment.

There's a lot of hate
out there towards you.

So why be nice
to them? I believe

it was Dr. King
who said,

"Hatred is gained
as much by good works

as by evil."

And that
is why you need

someone out there with, uh,

the hairy chesters to fight.

Well, I'm ready

and I'm willing.So,

what exactly...

is it that you're proposing?

I've decided to join the firm.

[laughs]

Well, not as a name partner,
of course.

Not at first.

But I think it's obvious

that we got something good
going on here.

Wow, Roland.
You've given us...

a lot to chew on.

Yeah, I'd like an answer now.Well, I'm sorry.

We have to follow protocol.

You understand.

Just give us some
time to confer.

Sure.

Enjoy your meat.

Thank you.[chuckles]

[indistinct chatter]

Miss me?

LIZ:
That man is crazy.

And when did Dr. King say
a-anything remotely like that?

It's Machiavelli.
Yeah. Yeah.Of course it is.

Well, as far as I'm concerned,
that man is a cancer

and we got to get him
out of here immediately.Obviously,

the sun would have
to burn up

before we make Roland Blum
a partner. But...

Uh-uh. There is no "but."
Mm-mmm.But...

if we tell him now,
he goes ballistic.

Let's just let him
finish his work

on Second Helix
while we figure out

the exit strategies.

So we string him along?Till we find

a way to just...

ease his ass out the door.

BARRY:
We need to get
his work accelerated

on Second Helix.
This is crazy.

I'll take care of it.

Uh, Francesca,
I will call you back, okay?

Bye. Hi, Diane.

Everything all right?Uh, yes.

Uh, listen, uh, you're on hold
with the Sweeney divorce.

Yes.

Just for a week.

Continuance. Why?

So, um...

you know your neighbor[Roland shouting indistinctly]

across the hall?When I say the 18th,

I mean the 18th!

Where Roland Blum...Mm-hmm.

Listen, the partners
need your help.

We need you to supervise
the Second Helix discovery.

Supervise? In what way?

Blum is stalling. He's
been here for three weeks,

and he's put in about
two hours' worth of work.

We need someone who
can get the job done.

So...LUCCA: Let's just get some
second years and paralegals.

Oh, we had four
associates on it.

He sent them out
on errands.

[sighs]Blum is seductive.

He... We-we need an
adult in the room.JULIUS: What?

What do you mean, what?
My presentation.

Oh. Oh. Good. Good.

We, um, just need
to deliberate.

Come on, Julius.

I was there for you
with the judgeship.

Be there for me.[clears throat]

Uh, we need to take a vote.

Bringing in a
new partner is a...

It's not a simple matter.

[sniffs]

So, who's for me

and who's against me?

Uh, I'm not sure that's clear.

Okay. Good.

Thanks.

I work all day with liars,
big and small.

It's good practice.

He's lying.

Are you talking to me?

Liz, one second.

[quietly]:
Come here.

Oh.

Diane, you two should
really hear this walk-in.

What is it?

It's a class action about
the 2016 presidential election.

That lady voted for Hillary.

The voting machine registered

her vote for Trump.

On a paperless voting machine?Yeah.

But...
there's evidence.MONA: Okay, so...

What's the evidence?This is to document
what just happened.

I voted
an all-Democratic ticket.

Gives me the option,
as you see here.

So I did.

And then I scrolled down,

and the machine mixed up
my votes.

Some Democrat, some Republican.

And then, at the bottom,

it's got me voting for Trump.

Wow.This is a voting machine
without a paper ballot,

so there's no record.

And the poll watcher
just told me

there's nothing
I can do about this.

Apparently, there are
other voters who reported

the same problem.

So she's suing the state?

No. She's suing
Kohl-Flores,

the manufacturer
of the voting machine.

Oh, so for faulty design.Right.

Product liability.
Not a bad way to go.

Apparently, the same machines
are being used in 2020.

[snaps fingers]Come on.

Mona, these are the
partners I told you about.

Ms. Reddick,
Diane Lockhart.

And this is
Mona's friend...

Rachelle Max.

Nice to meet you.

I've heard great things
about you two.

I told Mona one of the reasons I
wanted her to move her case here

is that I've heard
such great things

about the activism
here.

ADRIAN:
Ms. Max works as a
pollster at, uh...

DLE Strategies. Mona was unhappy
with her first legal team.

Weren't you?Yes.

They didn't seem
to take it seriously.

How far along
is your case?We have a hearing

this afternoon
on discovery.

Liz, do you
have a minute?

Yeah.

If you have
any questions,

I can answer them.

Uh, no, I think we'd
like to discuss this.

We'll be right back.

[mouths]

[door closes]

I know this is a rush,
but this is a good case

with a really smart
legal strategy.

This company is sending
malfunctioning voting machines

into the black community.

Seems like something
you would jump at.

Okay. I-I just need
a minute.

Yeah. Me, too.

What...

LIZ [quietly]:
What the fuck?What the fuck what?

I'm bringing you a good case.

These crappy voting machines go
to African-American districts

and miscount the votes.

Mona needs
the best possible lawyers.

That's you.Then come to us first.

Don't just surprise us.

Wait a minute.
Fight Club rules.

We do not talk
about Book Club.

Yeah, well, this is
complicated for us.No. Wait.

If you don't want the case,
say no.

But this case could be good for
the resistance and your firm.

So I really don't understand
the problem.

My problem is not knowing
whether I am representing

the client or
the Book Club.

The client.

But this case
could stop the other side

from corrupting the vote
in 2020.

So that's good.

And you're letting your hurt
feelings get in the way.

[grunts, exhales]

Hello.

[scoffs]

You, uh...

you supposed
to be in here?

This isn't even evidence.

These are legal invoices
sent over

by the opposing firm
to distract us.

Well, we still got
to go through it.

Uh, no, we don't.
Because...

I just did.

This is ourevidence.

This is the case

that we won
against Second Helix,

so we don't need to review it.

But you don't know that.

They might have, uh,

mingled other evidence in there
with it.

No one does that.

[whispers]:
I do that.

Okay, Mr. Blum,

so, here's the thing.

You're wanting to delay this.

I was put on this case
to hurry it.

And who's more likely
to make mistakes,

the person who hurries it

or the person who doesn't?

We're not feet-dragging here.

Not anymore.And that is why

I brought my, uh...
my associate along.

Hello.Yeah, this is

the associate part of
Roland Blum & Associates.

Gary Carr.

Lucca Quinn.

Oh, so he gets your
name and I don't?

That's reverse racism.

As I was just telling
Mr. Blum,

uh, we need to move faster.

Gary's been saying that
the whole time.

Haven't you,
Gary?I, uh...

Actually, I just thought
I was here to observe.

Oh, you were.

But now it's all hands on deck.

We just got scolded
for not working fast enough.

Well, not scolded.
I just...

I thought we could
more carefully divide up

the workload.

Sounds good.

Gary's smart.

Oh. A prodigy.

Harvard Law
Reviewat 23.

Please, Mr. Blum...

Stop with the humility.
You're too nice a guy.

What do I always say?

Kindness is hypocrisy.

Yeah, he was shortlisted

for Kagan's
law clerk,

but he wanted to give
back to the community.[clears throat]

So he became
a community organizer

in Baltimore.

[chuckles]Wow.

Nice to meet you.

So, I think the best thing here
is to find the real cases,

because a lot of this
is depo dump filler.

Whatever I
can do to help.

Hmm.Gary wanted to know
what it's like

to work
in a-an African-American firm.[phone ringing]

He's only ever worked
in white firms.

Yeah.

What is it?

I told you,
an hour late.

Shut up. Shut up!

I'm fucking coming!

Geez.

[sighs]
It's my 2:00 hummer.

I'll be back.

Now, you two-- behave.

He's not drinking it.
You want it?

Is it tequila?[chuckles]

No, but I can
find some.

No, I'm-I'm fine.
Maybe later.

Let's divide these up
into circuits.

How long have you worked
with Blum?

A week.

Okay, I hope
you're not offended...

I hope I am.

You just don't seem
like the Blum type.

How did you two
get connected?

I wanted to see what
corporate law was like.

[chuckles]
Well, Blum is not...

the best example
of corporate law.

Are you?

[chuckles]

Oh, no, that's-that's...
that's circuit.

Oh.

Your Honor,
this is a nuisance claim.

There was a free
and fair election.

No, there should be
a free and fair election.

Can I finish, Your Honor?

Yeah, let's just all
let each other finish.

The plaintiff,

or, more likely,
the plaintiff's attorneys

as part of
a Democratic party strategy,

are in here seeking
to have it undercut.

With all due
respect, Your Honor,

a black woman's
right to vote

being characterized as
a nuisance is offensive.

Especially given the blood
that was shed to secure it.

You know,
that's one race card showing.

You looking for a pair?Oh.

ENO:
Oh, my God. There's
no cameras here.

No one's gonna read
a transcript. Okay?

It's just us. So let's just
all of us talk, okay?

ADRIAN:
We agree, Your Honor.

But to talk, we need
discovery first.

We just want a full accounting

of which voting machines

were designated
to which precincts,

how many of those voting
machines malfunctioned,

who that helped,

and who that hurt.SUKONICK: I'm not sure
that data even exists.

LIZ:
Uh, Your Honor, we
are perfectly willing

to work with raw data

and make whatever statistical
analysis irrelevant ourselves.

ENO:
Right, that's not an
unreasonable request,

Ms. Sukonick.

Um, your client is,

uh, directed to provide
said information forthwith.

SUKONICK:
Your Honor, the people
have made their will clear

at the ballot box.Uh, we will also need
the software architecture

of these voting machines,
Your Honor,

in order to know how the
malfunction transpired.

ENO:
I'm guessing

you have an objection,
Counselor, or your client does?

Yes, Your Honor.

That software
is proprietary information

and is therefore protected.

Ruckelshaus v. Monsanto.

Okay. So, here's what

we're gonna do.
Let's take the next 24 hours

to read up on Ruckelshaus,

and I'll hear arguments
here tomorrow at 3:00 p.m.

And then I will decide
whether the software

is subject to discovery. Good?

Hey. What was that about?

What do you mean?The software.

Why do you need it?

[whispers]:
Not here.

[phone buzzes]

Hello?

Blum is stalling.

He's not even looking
at the depos.

He's just shoving around paper.

Okay, thanks.

Yeah, but he has
an associate working with him.

Carr. He seems
to be doing good work.

He's smart. You know, he's...

I think
he's taking it seriously.

Blum has an associate?

I know.

And he's the total opposite
of him.

We've gotten through

four boxes in two hours.DIANE:
Okay.

Do you mind
spending another day on this?

No, I don't mind.

Good. Thanks.

Yeah.

[clears throat]

[Louisa laughs]

He didn't do
his own singing, did he?

No, I think he did. I don't
think they dubbed him.

LOUISA:
Wow, he's got such
a great voice.

GOLDIE:
Yeah, he's pretty amazing.

Everything all right?

Yeah, I'll be right back.

Hey, uh, Louisa? Goldie? Hi.

What were you talking about
just then? The singing?

[both chuckle]

Uh, on Downton Abbey.

We were just wondering
if that was his own singing.

Downton Abbey,the TV show?

Mm-hmm.Yeah.

Who are you talking about?

Gary Carr.

I don't...
He was on Downton Abbey?

Yeah, the fourth season.
Don't you remember?

I never watched it.Can you get me an autograph?

He's an actor?

Yeah.Yeah.

Then what is...

he doing here?

Hey!

What are you doing?GARY:
What?

Did Blum hire you
to pretend to be a lawyer?

What?Did Blum hire you

to pretend to be a lawyer?

No. God, no.

[chuckles]But you're an actor?

[in British accent]:
Yes. Yes, I'm an actor.

It's research.
I've got a role

in a law show.
My manager knew Blum.

Fixed me up with him
to follow him around.

I-I didn't know he was
gonna actually pass me off

as the real thing.
It's...

[chuckles]
It's-it's funny.

Hmm.

[slides files]

This is not Bring Your Little
British Buddy to Work Day.

[chuckles]

There are millions of dollars of
judgments sitting on this table.

Lucca, I promise
I was gonna tell you

as soon as Blum left,
but the timing was never right,

and we actually got stuck
into some real work.I think

you should wait in reception.

Okay.

And don't take
anything with you.

Is that yours?Mm-hmm.

Then take it with you.

[stammers quietly]

I'll... just go.

[indistinct chatter]

Mr. Carr, uh, can we
take a photo with you?

GARY:
Oh, sure. Yeah, okay.

Actors.

[laughing]Thank you.

LUCCA:
Hey! Upstairs!

Reception's upstairs!Sure. Thank you. Right.

LUCCA:
Take direction.

God.

Why don't we wait
until everyone's here?

LIZ:
No, I think
you need to tell us

exactly what's going on
right now.

What did Valerie tell us

on the first day
she brought us together?

Move fast, be smart,
attack, lie, don't get caught.

The new rules.

So, what is the lie here?

We've been working hard
to peel off 70,000 votes

from Trump's base
so he doesn't win in 2020.

Right.But it's not working.

His approval rating's
gone up two points,

from 40% to 42%.

Trump's base is too strong.

Democrats don't want
to believe it

because they live
in a bubble,

but Trump will
probably win in 2020.

So we try harder.

There's an easier way.What?

We hack the voting machines.

Excuse me?

We hack the voting machines.

We insert malware into them.

But we need the machine
software in order to do it.

Are you fucking kidding me?

♪

♪

♪

♪

[overlapping chatter]

When we started,
we agreed we would do

what was necessary to win.

Well, this is necessary.

No, convincing the
voters is necessary.

This is stealing an election.Like Trump?

What, are we gonna
now hold ourselves

to the same
standard as Trump?

If it allows us to win, yes.

This is not winning.
It is stealing.

You keep saying that.

Wait, wait, wait.
We don't have to steal.

We can just offer
a correction.

What does that mean?

Technically, we can
program the malware

to make any adjustment
we want to the vote count.

How many votes did we lose
to gerrymandering in Wisconsin?

How many voters were intimidated
from the polls in Florida?

How many votes did the Russians
help steal in Pennsylvania?

So we "correct" for those
amounts with the malware.

Shave 300 Republican votes
from each county in Wisconsin,

8,000 votes from
the red counties in Florida.

Right. It's still a contest,

but we don't start
a half a mile back.

That is sophistry!

You are stealing votes.

No, they're stealing votes.

We are trying
to correct for them.

Am I the only one who
thinks this is crazy?

This is totalitarianism.

[overlapping chatter]

WOMAN:
You fight fire with fire!

Okay!

It's getting a bit heated.

Let's take a moment.
Everybody.

We can't take part in this.

It's wrong.

Not just illegal,
it's wrong.

What?

No, I'm just...

I'm just thinking.

About what?
You agree with them?

No, but...

I think there is an argument
to be made here.

For hacking?
Are you kidding?

That goes against everything
we stand for as a democracy.

Not everything.

What do you mean?

You know there are
counties right now

where black people
are so terrorized

that they can't even
show up at polls?

That's not what I'm...Look, no, in Georgia,

in 2018, a bus

filled with black senior
citizens

was stopped by the police

so they wouldn't
be allowed to vote.

53,000 voter registrations

of black voters were held up

by the Georgia
Secretary of State.

Liz, I know. I know...No. No, no,

Diane, you don't.
You don't know.

Look, we share a lot of things,
but we do not share histories.

I have a college friend
who was kicked off

the voter rolls in Ohio.

And my uncle
was denied the right to vote

in the last election
in Wisconsin.

I mean, at some point,
these stories become more

than just anecdotes.

They're something bigger.

This democracy
that you talk about--

this doesn't exist
for a lot of us.

It didn't exist
for my grandparents.

It didn't exist for my parents,
and it is slowly...

...being taken away from me.

Then we fight it
in the courts.Mm-hmm.

[chuckles]: The courts.
The courts that overturned

the Civil Rights
Voting Act in 2013?

So...

excuse me if I just
need a moment

to reflect on this...

unique possibility.

One person
hits a few buttons

and suddenly black voters
are re-enfranchised.

That means something
very different to me

than it does to you.

DIANE:
As a lawyer,

I cannot use my court case...

All I need is
the software

and the voting machine
architecture...

Which Mona will give us.

And my malware flips a few votes

out of every 100
Republican votes.

RACHELLE: So it's within
the margin of error?Right.

If there's no more debate,
I think we should vote on this.

[scoffs] Vote on whether
to steal votes?

Who says our side doesn't
have a sense of irony?

RACHELLE:
Before we vote,
I'd like to add

an amendment.

After hearing Liz's argument,
I suggest that we only change

enough votes to offset the
voter disenfranchisement

of black and
Latino voters.

All those in favor?

All those opposed?

Motion passes.

It's official.

We've just become
as bad as the other side.

RACHELLE:
You want out, Diane?

You're welcome to it.

But you signed on for this.

The ends justify the means,
so don't get all outraged

that we're willing
to follow through.

[takes deep breath]

Good morning.
Evelyn...

How are you today?Fine, Mr. Boseman.

I have a call from
a Cynthia Cromley.

Do you want me
to take a message?

I'll take it in my office.

Ms. Cromley,
I'm putting you through now.

Cynthia, how have you been?

Fine.
A man came here last night

asking me questions.

What kind of questions?

About my relationship
with Mr. Reddick.

He said he was conducting

an investigation
for your firm.

Did you...

Did he leave his name?

He left his business card.

Roland J. Blum.

What did you tell him?

Nothing.

I signed a non-disclosure
agreement with you.

Good. Thank you.

Now, what...

did he tell you?

He said he thought
there was an indiscretion there.

Okay, thank you.

I'll handle it from here.

Uh, let me know

if he comes by again.

All right, I'll do that.
Thank you.

Motherfucker.

♪

Adrian, my good man.

I need a minute.Is there an issue?

Whoa.

I understand you've been
speaking with Cynthia Cromley.

Oh, lovely woman.
Loyal to a fault.

What did you want?Adrian, you don't
have to worry.

I'm here to help.

I don't need your help.

And that's just
as it should be.

Keep your hands clean.

We both know this firm
has a lot of skeletons.

And women are getting angrier.

It would be a shame
if this story

started leaking to the press.

[grunts]
This is hurting.

What do you want?

For you to lower your arm.

What... do...

you... want?

To be taken seriously
as a partner.

We're voting.No, you're not.

You're stringing me along.

You want me in the tent
pissing out, Adrian.

You stop talking to Cynthia,

and we'll consider it.

That's all I ask.

Marissa...

you know about Blum
suborning perjury?

The Second Helix case?Yes.

I need all the information
you have.

By when?Today.

I can't get it
if I have to watch him.

Don't worry about that.
You get it.

[exhales]

Lucca.Yeah?

You're helping Blum
move Second Helix along?

I am.Good.

You told Diane he has
an associate who's dependable?

Uh, no, no.
That was my mistake.

He's not dependable?No.

He's not a lawyer.
He's an actor.

Blum has an actor
as an associate?

No. He was doing
research for a part.

Blum is?No, the actor is.

It's all a little crazy.Okay.

[knocking]I need a minute.

What's wrong?

I was just down with Blum.
He's onto the other women.

The other...He talked to Cynthia.

Now, she didn't say anything.

He's looking for the others.

What do you want to do?

We threaten his ass.Oh.

That's like threatening
a bull with a red flag.

I agree.
That's why we got to go public.

No.Liz.

We go public with a friendly
reporter, we control this.

We can't control this.

We knew this day
would come, Liz.

Nothing stays hidden.

You have a secret admirer.

Uh, no. I think
just a thankful client.

Want me to open it?No.

Wow.

Trevaso Grand Reserve?
That's $2,500 a bottle.

How do you know that?

How do you not know that?
Who gave this to you?

Hold on.

I couldn't find coffee.
Got this instead.

Sorry about yesterday.

Who is it?

I... I don't know.

You do, you're just
not telling me.

[phone rings]

[exhales]

Hello?

GARY: Meet me for lunch
so I can apologize.

Uh... you know,
actually, it's fine.

I got your very
expensive apology.

[whispering]: That's the guy
who sent the tequila?

[chuckles]
Look, I really don't like

when there are people out there
who are angry with me.

I'm not angry with you.

Not angry with who?

[whispers]: Shut up, Marissa.I'm always worried that,

like, if I get hit by a bus

someone will say really
horrible things at my funeral.

I... I won't say

horrible things
at your funeral.

What? Is he dying?All right, so, um...

I'll confess.

This is a selfish call.

I had a horrible meeting
with my manager,

and I want a palate cleanser

so I can wash it
out of my mouth.

Oh, so now
I'm a palate cleanser?

No. No.No idea what to do
with that one.

But I... I need someone
who makes me smile.

I promise I won't talk
about being a lawyer.

Where are you?

Just at a nice little bar
in Ukrainian Village.

1079 West Augusta.

Come check it out.

SUKONICK:
The Fifth Amendment, Your Honor.

That's why
intellectual property

is still property,
and to be forced

to hand over the software
to our competitors...

ADRIAN:
We are not her competitors.

It will end up in the hands
of our competitors.

And that is exactly what

the Constitution
prevents.

Let me take the argument.Public disclosure

of the software
architecture amounts toNo.

a complete forfeiture ofYou don't believe
in it anymore.

proprietary
intellectual property.I'm a lawyer. I don't have to.

No further comment,
Your Honor.ENO: Counselors.

Do you have anything?

Um, Your Honor, the issue here
is not intellectual property

and just compensation.

This is a larger issue.
One that speaks

to the heart of our country.

Every vote counts.

And therefore every vote

must becounted.

If the people cannot trust that
their votes will be counted,

how can they
trust the rights

that flow from those
votes? If our votes

are subverted... or discarded

or even ignored,
why have faith

in our democratic
institutions?

Why respect a president--
any president--

even one from our own party?

Why not choose
violent overthrow

if our votes are not counted?

Ms. Sukonick is correct.

This is about
a constitutional right,

but it is not a secondary one,

it is the primary one.

It is about who we are.

That is why we need
this discovery, Your Honor.

This software must be inspected

to see if there is integrity
in the counting of the votes.

That is the issue.

You just got us our discovery.

We're good.

WOMAN:
Here we go, here we go.

Good job.

Especially Diane.
Well done.

How long will the malware take?

I should have it in
by tomorrow.

Where are you going, Diane?

Home.

But we're just
starting here.

Not me.

♪

[chuckles]

Okay, no more water

for me. Thank you
so much. Thank you.

So this happens
to you all the time?What?

[chuckles]

It depends on
the neighborhood, actually.

You can tell where Abbeywas
popular. But go 20 blocks

west of here, and...
police will be pulling me over

just like everywhere else.

Yeah, well, they do that until
they find out who you are.

Celebrity doesn't count
for everything.

Yeah, but your
accent does.

I mean, you just...

[with British accent]:
flash a few British-isms

[normal voice]:
and then, you know,

suddenly, you're
not black anymore.

[chuckles]

I don't know what it is, but...

I like being judged by you.

Hmm. It's probably
'cause everything

just comes too easy to you.

Oh.Can my daughter and I get

a picture with you?

Yeah, sure.

Um, and Lucca, too?Why,

were you on Downton Abbey,too?Oh, no.

No, no, but she's gonna be
in the movie.

In the movie?Yeah.

Oh, my God.
She's going to be in the movie.

Get in the picture.No. It's fine. You...

Lucca, I'm having trouble

getting hold of Maia.
Do you have her new number?

How did you know I was here?You wrote down the address.

Oh, my God.I need the name
of Blum's dietitian.

I guess Arthur Garber
was a made-up name.Sure. Gerard Solo.

Excuse me?

The name of Blum's dietitian--
it's Gerard Solo.

Thank you. How do
you know that?

Roland introduced us.

Uh, why do you need it?

Blum suborned perjury
from him.

I know you.
How do I know you?

Downton Abbey.

No.

The Deuce.
You were on The Deuce?

Yeah.[clears throat]
Marissa, Gary Carr.

Wow. You were great

on that.
I was so upset when they...

when that thing happened.

[laughs]Okay, well, nice
to meet you.

Gerard Solo.
Thanks.

Forgive him. Whatever he did,
he just made up for it.

You're forgiven, okay?Mm.

[sighs]

Well, that's not my problem,
that's your problem. [snorts]

I can't.
I'm in a meeting!

[hip-hop song playing on radio]

Ow!

Mr. Roland Blum. Was?

Ich spreche kein englisch
Raus hier.

You're being served, Mr. Blum.

This is private property,
asshole.

Get the fuck out of here.A complaint has been filed

with the ACDB saying

you suborned perjury
from a man named Gerard Solo.

How the fuck do you know that?

I was bored.
I read it.

Have a blessed day.Fuck you.

[door bells chime]

[groans]

[laughs]

Oh, Adrian,

you have unleashed

the wrath of the nine plagues.

And there will be weeping

and gnashing of teeth.

I'll come back for the rest.

[knocks on glass]

I was going through
the voting machine software...

and I found a hack.

ADRIAN:
A hack? So it's not
a malfunction?

JAY:
That's right. It looks like
malware, but I can't be sure.

JULIUS:
And it changes
the vote tallies?

Yes. It keeps track
of the ongoing count,

then raises
the opposition tally.

Are you sure it's a hack?JULIUS:
No, could be part

of the original
architectural software.

Now it's starting
to make sense

why they fought so hard
against discovery.

Do we have any idea
who did it?

Without more information,
we can't be sure.

But it's definitely someone
on the Republican side.

Someone on the Republican side?Yes.

Why do you say that?ADRIAN:
Machines are hacked

so that the Republican
tally always stays ahead

of the Democratic.

Traitors. Judases.

Oh, you have crucified me,

but you left me for dead,

and I live.
Oh, I rise.

Watch for the burning

of the ten-horned beast!

[panting]

So Jay, we're gonna need to
put you on the stand, okay?

No problem.

Wait. You got a minute?

Sure.
What do you need?

We're going public with
the Reddick accusations.

Why?

Because if we don't,
Blum will.

Now, you're close
with Naomi Nivola?

You think she can
handle this for us?

She's a straight reporter.
She doesn't do PR.

We just need
someone there, Jay,

someone who understands
the history and the issues.

Now, can she...

Can she be that person?

And will you ask her?

[sighs]
Yeah.

We discovered
what we think is malware

in the voting machine software.

That's impossible.We haven't done anything yet.

No, it's not our hack.

The machines already had malware

that changed the Democratic vote
to Republicans.

Those fuckers.Actually,
that's perfect.

I can just lay my
malware into their hack.

You can do that?It's better.

They'll think the
software's working for them

when it's doing
the opposite.

Good. Wait, you can't
take this to court.

If the hack is revealed
in court, the voting machines

will be thrown out,
and we need them in place.

Liz?N-No, it's too late.

We're already going to court.Liz, you have to stop them.

No.If the court finds out
there's already a hack in there,

they'll order the machines
to be replaced

and we'll be back to square one.Yeah... I understand that.

It's the law.But this makes what we're
doing even more just.

The Republicans were
already doing it.

We're just
correcting it.No, no.

Correcting is telling the courts
that the machines were hacked.

Diane, think about this.I'm Liz.

Sorry, yes.
Liz, think about this.

Yeah, I already have.[sighs]

JAY:
I found malware

designed to damage
computer software.

ADRIAN:
And what does this malware do
the defendant's machines?

JAY:
When a voter selects an
all-Democratic ticket,

the malware flips
some of those votes

from Democrat to Republican.

Is it possible it's a glitch,
some kind of mistake?

A glitch wouldn't
consistently flip votes

from Democrats to Republicans.

It would be random.

This isn't.No further questions.

How do you vote, Mr. Dipersia?

Objection.It goes to bias, Your Honor.

Overruled.

I'll hear.

I'm not eligible to vote.

And that's because you were

an illegal immigrant.
Isn't that right?

I have an O visa. I am a legal
resident of the Unites States.

And you don't think
that you might exaggerate

what's going on here
in order to help the Democrats?

No.And how often, exactly, would
you say that this malware

that you claim to have detected
actually flipped votes?

Well, it's hard to be exact.

Oh, that is unfortunate.

But in Cullman County, Michigan,
where these machines

were used, Republicans
received eight percent

of African-American votes,
four percent more

than they received
two years earlier.

Isn't there
another reason

for this discrepancy?

Y-You'll have to be more exact.

In 2018, the ballot
in Coleman County was changed

to a butterfly format.
Isn't that

a more likely explanation for
the change in voting patterns

other than a left-wing
conspiracy theory?

LUCCA:
Hey.

You done for the day, Counselor?

Yeah.
It was nice meeting you.

Meeting me? I thought
you were here for a week.

I was. Just... Blum can
be a bit mercurial.

Oh, what happened?

Nothing.No. Wait. Tell me.

He found out
I gave your investigator

the name of his dietitian.

Ah, fuck. Seriously?

It's okay, though.

My manager has other options.

It was really nice
meeting you, Lucca.

Gary, uh, how many more days

were you wanting to research
being a lawyer?

[elevator bell dings]Five. Why?

[clears throat] Well, I
have to ask the partners,

but you could follow me.

No way. You serious?Oh, yeah.

I'd love that.Yeah, I-I-I...

Thank you.Oh.

Great.

What...

can I do...

...to relieve the stress,

counselor?

Blum.

You want Blum
to relieve the stress?

[laughs][chuckles] Okay.

[mumbles]

I think he secretly
has a crush on you.

[chuckles]

He's coming after us, Charlotte.

I need help going after him.

[scoffs softly]

Sorry.

No.

Why not?[sighs]

Blum...

is a bad man.

[chuckles]

Bad men have...

a force field around them.

You can't give me anything.Mm...

I can give you
a piece of advice.

You go after Blum...
you kill him.

Because anything less,
he won't stop

until he kills you.

You know we're bringing him
in front of the ACDB

for suborning perjury.

Are you serious?Yep.

Nice knowing you.
[chuckles]

Oh, that's cold.[chuckles]

I will give you
one thing, though.

About Blum?

Mm, no.

Judge Eno.

She's gonna decide
against you.

What?

Why?

She's on the take.

Judge Eno? No.

[chuckling]:
No.

Why? Because
she's a woman?

No, no, no.
Because...

ENO: Mm. Thank you.WAITRESS: Gracias.

Judge Eno.
[clears throat]

Counselor.
Is there an issue?

I don't know.
There might be.

Well, if it's about court,
this is ex partecommunication.

It's more of a personal issue,
Your Honor,

and we thought it
best to talk without

a court reporter present.Why? What personal issue?

You being on the take.

What the hell
are you talking about?

The other side
is paying you.

And we don't want
to make a fuss.

We just want you
to recuse yourself.

Or?

[quietly]: Or we will have
to make an issue of this.

Mm.Mm.

Well... who told you
I'm on the take?

I'd rather not say.

Mm.

All right, well, then,
you know what I think?

I think this is a bluff,
and kind of a bad one, at that.

[chuckles]
It's not.

All right, well, then,
who told you? Let's hear.

I can't say.[clicks tongue]

Well...

I guess
the bottom line is, um...

...fuck you.

And fuck you both.

Enjoy your lunch.

Adrian... who did tell you?

I can't say, Diane.

Well, if a judge is corrupt
that needs to come forward.

I know.

I can't say.

There can't be anything
I just did that's worth noting.

Uh, sure there is.

Let me see.

[clears throat]

[chuckles]

Okay, I didn't say
this would be interesting,

I just said it would be real.

Hey, I'm into real.Okay.

Well, I'm going through
the Helix case,

and in non-TV reality,
I spend most of my time

flipping through files
exactly like this.

And what are you looking for?Discrepancies.

Small changes in a zero
or a comma.

Something out of place.

And you do it alone?

I do.You know, in TV,

we'd put someone there with you.

So you can explain
what you're doing.

Do you know this joke?

This is an actor realizing
he forgot his wallet.

This is a non-actor

realizing he forgot his wallet.

Yeah, well, see,
that's why

I don't like TV.
'Cause it's a lie.

Yeah, but what isn't a lie
these days, though?

Politics, art, science.
Everything is TV.

And that's a good thing?No, it's an important
thing to know.

If your country realized Trump
was cast in The Apprentice

and didn't create it,
things could be

a hell of a lot better
right now.

The original idea for
The Apprenticewas to have

a new CEO each week,
so think about it--

Martha Stewart
could've been president.

[phone rings]

Hello?

Lucca, it's Evelyn. I locked
myself out of your apartment...

You did what?

What's wrong?No. No, stay there.

I'll be... I'll be 20 minutes.[Evelyn continues indistinctly]

What's wrong?Uh, my...

I have to go.
My nanny-- she's locked herself

out of the apartment
and my baby is inside.

You have a baby?

Yeah.

Let's go, I'll drive you.

No, it's-it's fine.
I have a car.

But my driver's downstairs.
He'll take us.

[rain falling outside]

BAILIFF:
All rise.

She's worried.
Ask her to recuse.

Please sit.

Okay.
I certainly heard your

passionate arguments, and I
understand that this is an issue

that we all take

deeply seriously,
but there is

little evidence
that these voting machines

have been compromised.

Your Honor,
I'd like to request...

No, sir.
You... you need to sit.

In fact, I'm a
little puzzled

why people claiming to care
about the integrity

of the voting system

have devoted so many hours

to undermining it.

You have something
to add, counselor?

Well, if not, then...

this case is dismissed

with prejudice.

Your Honor, Your Honor.
Not with prejudice,

that will prevent us
from relitigating this case...

Yeah, you heard me, counselor.

With prejudice.

[speaking indistinctly]

[chimes playing]

Everything good?

Yeah.

I mean... he didn't even notice.

I'm glad.

Well, I should go.

I'll see you tomorrow.Yeah. Great.

[baby noises and chimes]

[chuckles]

Okay.

Okay. So, um...

see you.See you.

Oh...

Uh...

I, uh...

[thunder rumbles]

Heard the news.
Tough loss.

How far along are
you in the coding?

Almost done.

And this thing is really
gonna flip Republican votes?

Yes. Why?

You gonna try
to talk me out of it?

No.

I want to push the button.
