1
00:00:02,059 --> 00:00:05,222
- No, you shut up! Shut the hell up!
- Okay, I am listening. What?
2
00:00:05,394 --> 00:00:07,022
- What are you trying to say?
- Good.
3
00:00:07,197 --> 00:00:08,528
This is what I'm gonna tell you.
4
00:00:08,698 --> 00:00:10,893
I can come to your house.
To your neighbors' house.
5
00:00:11,067 --> 00:00:13,228
- You cannot!
- I could come to your parents' house
6
00:00:13,403 --> 00:00:14,768
- and say you welched
WOMAN: Oh, sir.
7
00:00:14,938 --> 00:00:17,202
On your debt. You took out money
and you're not paying it.
8
00:00:17,373 --> 00:00:18,602
No, I paid every cent.
9
00:00:18,774 --> 00:00:21,265
I can do that,
it is not illegal for me to do that.
10
00:00:21,445 --> 00:00:23,106
- It is illegal.
- Know why it's not?
11
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,611
No, no, I don't think
you understand, Maggie.
12
00:00:25,782 --> 00:00:27,772
I do understand.
I don't think that you...
13
00:00:27,951 --> 00:00:30,077
I have your Social Security
number, Maggie.
14
00:00:30,253 --> 00:00:33,415
I have your email.
I can ruin your life.
15
00:00:33,590 --> 00:00:35,716
I paid my debts,
I paid every single cent!
16
00:00:35,892 --> 00:00:37,883
- You're making me angry.
- See? They cashed it.
17
00:00:38,060 --> 00:00:40,825
- I deal with liars all day.
- What?
18
00:00:40,996 --> 00:00:45,661
- I thought you weren't one of them.
- I have paid you $8,900.
19
00:00:45,868 --> 00:00:48,302
You have not, Maggie,
and I'm gonna come to your house
20
00:00:48,472 --> 00:00:50,838
and I'm gonna knock on your door.
And then I'm gonna knock
21
00:00:51,006 --> 00:00:53,975
- on your neighbor's door.
- You can't do that.
22
00:00:54,143 --> 00:00:56,976
Maggie, you took out
a student loan and you didn't repay.
23
00:00:57,146 --> 00:00:58,478
I can do anything I damn please!
24
00:00:58,648 --> 00:01:01,241
- I can garnish your wages.
- I already paid you, sir!
25
00:01:01,417 --> 00:01:03,180
- I can call you at work!
- I have paid.
26
00:01:03,386 --> 00:01:06,355
- I already paid you!
- Look, when you stop lying, Maggie,
27
00:01:06,522 --> 00:01:09,959
and want to get serious,
call extension 853, you got that?
28
00:01:10,126 --> 00:01:12,322
- 853!
- Look, I paid! I already p...
29
00:01:12,495 --> 00:01:14,486
Until then, don't kill yourself,
lady, by k...
30
00:01:14,664 --> 00:01:16,688
By stepping in front
of some train, okay?
31
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:19,993
- What?
- Just pay your debts.
32
00:01:20,170 --> 00:01:21,831
That was yesterday.
33
00:01:22,004 --> 00:01:24,632
- That's why I called Lucca.
- She wants to stop the harassment.
34
00:01:24,807 --> 00:01:25,968
- May I?
- Yeah. Maggie,
35
00:01:26,143 --> 00:01:28,941
- this is Jason Crouse, our investigator.
- Nice to meet you.
36
00:01:29,111 --> 00:01:31,103
So, you know how much we charge?
37
00:01:31,281 --> 00:01:33,715
Yeah, Lucca said $150 an hour.
38
00:01:33,917 --> 00:01:36,783
It's worth it if you can make him
stop calling.
39
00:01:36,953 --> 00:01:39,944
- And this is APY Collections?
- Yes. Bob Bondi.
40
00:01:40,122 --> 00:01:41,555
I already complained to his manager
41
00:01:41,724 --> 00:01:43,716
- and he won't do anything.
- We bring suit.
42
00:01:43,926 --> 00:01:46,156
Often that's enough to scare them off.
43
00:01:46,329 --> 00:01:49,957
But sometimes these places
can be a bit intransigent.
44
00:01:50,133 --> 00:01:51,793
And we would have
to prepare for court.
45
00:01:51,968 --> 00:01:55,563
I don't have a lot of money.
I mean, I'm still working temp jobs.
46
00:01:56,805 --> 00:01:58,865
I should have gone to law school,
like you.
47
00:01:59,042 --> 00:02:03,001
Instead, I went to Colosseum.
Worst educational experience ever.
48
00:02:03,180 --> 00:02:05,977
- But I can pay you a bit every month.
- Bob Bondi, please.
49
00:02:07,884 --> 00:02:10,876
- Oh, you won't get him at work.
- I'm not calling him at work.
50
00:02:11,054 --> 00:02:14,682
Hi, is this Mrs. Bondi?
Hi. I work with your husband,
51
00:02:14,858 --> 00:02:18,486
do you mind getting him for me?
Thank you.
52
00:02:18,662 --> 00:02:21,824
Bob. Hey, how you doing?
This is Jason.
53
00:02:21,997 --> 00:02:25,592
No, I know you don't know me.
Hold on.
54
00:02:26,902 --> 00:02:28,768
Strangely enough, Bob,
55
00:02:28,972 --> 00:02:30,405
- I know you.
- Wait, wait, who...
56
00:02:30,574 --> 00:02:34,771
You live at 1245 Rosalia Avenue,
you have...
57
00:02:34,978 --> 00:02:37,445
- Who's this? How do you know?
- This is Jason Crouse.
58
00:02:37,614 --> 00:02:40,343
I want you to focus.
I know your Social Security number,
59
00:02:40,516 --> 00:02:43,281
I know your address,
I know your neighbors' names.
60
00:02:43,485 --> 00:02:46,045
- How did you get this number?
- Here's what I need.
61
00:02:46,223 --> 00:02:48,918
- I need you go into work today...
- I'm calling the police.
62
00:02:49,091 --> 00:02:50,923
- I'm calling the police.
- Okay. Go ahead.
63
00:02:51,093 --> 00:02:52,788
We'll talk about your priors
in California.
64
00:02:52,962 --> 00:02:54,623
My priors?
What are you talking about?
65
00:02:54,798 --> 00:02:57,062
Background.
I am talking about your background.
66
00:02:57,234 --> 00:02:59,134
I'm sure your boss would
be interested to know.
67
00:02:59,301 --> 00:03:00,633
Neighbors might be too.
68
00:03:03,406 --> 00:03:06,135
- Bob?
- What do you want?
69
00:03:06,308 --> 00:03:09,106
I want you to lay off of Maggie...
70
00:03:09,278 --> 00:03:11,212
- Rossum.
- Rossum. She paid her debt.
71
00:03:11,381 --> 00:03:15,818
I am looking at a canceled check here
that you guys cashed.
72
00:03:16,019 --> 00:03:17,451
The account is settled, Bob.
73
00:03:17,621 --> 00:03:21,056
I'll try to get this straightened out,
but it's not up to me, you know that.
74
00:03:21,223 --> 00:03:24,283
- Who's it up to, Bob?
- My manager, Nelson Olstead.
75
00:03:24,461 --> 00:03:28,897
- I only do what he says.
- Okay. I'm gonna contact him.
76
00:03:29,064 --> 00:03:32,466
Don't call Maggie again, Bob.
77
00:03:33,937 --> 00:03:36,132
I know your number.
78
00:03:37,774 --> 00:03:38,831
Wow.
79
00:03:43,045 --> 00:03:45,276
I don't think it's over yet.
I think they're gonna
80
00:03:45,448 --> 00:03:47,006
just put someone else
on her account.
81
00:03:47,182 --> 00:03:49,651
- So show them her canceled check.
- No.
82
00:03:49,819 --> 00:03:52,753
My guess is APY
is charging her twice.
83
00:03:52,921 --> 00:03:55,288
That, or they're playing some
shell game with her money.
84
00:03:55,457 --> 00:03:58,655
- You can find out?
- How many hours can I charge?
85
00:03:58,828 --> 00:04:00,021
Four.
86
00:04:00,195 --> 00:04:04,188
Okay. I will call you if it requires more.
87
00:04:07,437 --> 00:04:09,927
So, our first case, good.
88
00:04:11,974 --> 00:04:15,171
- A hundred and fifty dollars an hour?
- I had to say something.
89
00:04:15,344 --> 00:04:18,507
- What is our price?
- Two hundred dollars an hour.
90
00:04:18,682 --> 00:04:21,673
- On the next one.
- I'd go higher than 200.
91
00:04:21,850 --> 00:04:23,283
We need some working cash, Mom.
92
00:04:23,452 --> 00:04:26,684
I know. I'm doing my best.
93
00:04:26,855 --> 00:04:28,288
- A responsible governor.
- What's that?
94
00:04:28,457 --> 00:04:29,447
- I like Iowa.
- Dad.
95
00:04:29,625 --> 00:04:31,718
I'm here because it's the state
neighboring my own.
96
00:04:31,894 --> 00:04:34,226
This has nothing to do
with running for president?
97
00:04:34,396 --> 00:04:36,831
No, I'm saying that
at the moment, I'm not running.
98
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,730
But I do want to talk about pensions.
As a responsible governor,
99
00:04:40,903 --> 00:04:43,372
I think we have to start
the conversation
100
00:04:43,540 --> 00:04:45,564
about setting limits and
rolling back pensions.
101
00:04:45,742 --> 00:04:47,606
Really?
You're sounding like Marco Rubio.
102
00:04:50,180 --> 00:04:52,341
I think we should stop
sounding like a Democrat
103
00:04:52,514 --> 00:04:54,505
or a Republican
and start sounding like Americans.
104
00:04:54,683 --> 00:04:57,016
That's what Americans want.
I think that's what we need.
105
00:04:57,187 --> 00:05:01,021
The partisanship that's going on
in this election is killing us.
106
00:05:03,526 --> 00:05:05,755
So did you have trouble getting
your desk in here, Dad?
107
00:05:05,928 --> 00:05:07,862
Mm-hm.
Marissa, brightening up my day.
108
00:05:08,697 --> 00:05:11,427
This has not been focus-grouped.
This is simply what I believe.
109
00:05:11,634 --> 00:05:14,228
But aren't you just playing
back-of-the-pack politics?
110
00:05:14,403 --> 00:05:16,668
Saying something controversial
to get press coverage?
111
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,399
- Oh, my God. What a disaster.
- Well, I would not characterize
112
00:05:19,576 --> 00:05:23,067
this as talking wild. This is
responsible fiscal accountability.
113
00:05:23,245 --> 00:05:25,874
Look, the fact of the matter is
is that unions have
114
00:05:26,048 --> 00:05:28,745
far too much control in this country.
They are strangling...
115
00:05:29,685 --> 00:05:30,846
- Hey.
- Dad, I love you,
116
00:05:31,019 --> 00:05:33,112
- but this is an intervention.
- Give me the remote.
117
00:05:33,288 --> 00:05:35,382
Peter chose Ruth over you.
You have to let it go.
118
00:05:35,557 --> 00:05:36,855
What? This is my job.
119
00:05:37,026 --> 00:05:39,858
This was your job. They fired you.
What are you getting out of this?
120
00:05:40,028 --> 00:05:41,586
I mean, besides this luxurious office?
121
00:05:41,764 --> 00:05:43,925
- I'm looking after Alicia.
- This isn't about Alicia.
122
00:05:44,100 --> 00:05:46,091
- You're getting back at Peter.
- Makes no sense.
123
00:05:46,269 --> 00:05:49,295
I know. And that's why you need
to leave. You watched his interview,
124
00:05:49,471 --> 00:05:52,771
scoffing the whole way, but I don't see
you going to tell him what he did wrong.
125
00:05:52,942 --> 00:05:55,569
- He's not here. He's in Iowa.
- Then call him.
126
00:05:58,814 --> 00:06:00,475
Then let's go.
127
00:06:00,682 --> 00:06:03,276
Dad, you'll get a new job.
You're desirable.
128
00:06:05,588 --> 00:06:08,716
- I've never been fired in my life.
- I know. And it hurts.
129
00:06:08,891 --> 00:06:12,156
I've been fired eight times.
It doesn't get easier.
130
00:06:12,327 --> 00:06:13,988
Come on.
131
00:06:14,764 --> 00:06:15,788
Give me the remote.
132
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,396
Ruth Eastman devised the strategy
133
00:06:19,569 --> 00:06:21,901
for that interview, and it makes
Peter look like an idiot.
134
00:06:22,071 --> 00:06:24,231
The press is gonna have a field day.
I can't leave
135
00:06:24,406 --> 00:06:26,738
when there's a chance that Peter
will come to his senses
136
00:06:26,910 --> 00:06:29,470
and realize Ruth is foisting
a losing strategy on him.
137
00:06:29,646 --> 00:06:33,446
- I love you. This is not healthy.
- The remote, babe.
138
00:06:37,519 --> 00:06:40,283
- Glad you came in. Please, sit.
- Thank you, Mr. Erickson.
139
00:06:40,456 --> 00:06:43,153
- Ronnie's fine.
- Ronnie.
140
00:06:43,927 --> 00:06:46,122
Well, I know you'll be mostly
interfacing with Howard,
141
00:06:46,295 --> 00:06:48,764
but as one of the three partners
at Lockhart-Agos,
142
00:06:48,932 --> 00:06:50,262
I just wanted to welcome you.
143
00:06:50,432 --> 00:06:51,661
- Well, thank you.
- And...
144
00:06:51,834 --> 00:06:53,427
You've been
with the Food Service Union
145
00:06:53,603 --> 00:06:55,536
- for 33 years.
- Food and Commercial Services.
146
00:06:56,939 --> 00:06:58,305
Excuse me.
147
00:06:58,475 --> 00:07:02,605
- Oh, I do have to take this.
- No, please.
148
00:07:38,548 --> 00:07:40,379
Did you tell Ronnie Erickson
I went to prison?
149
00:07:40,550 --> 00:07:41,574
Do you ever knock?
150
00:07:41,783 --> 00:07:43,512
He's acting like I'm a crook.
Did you tell?
151
00:07:43,685 --> 00:07:45,346
If the guy doesn't take a shine to you...
152
00:07:45,521 --> 00:07:47,422
that's your problem.
You crossed a line.
153
00:07:47,590 --> 00:07:50,387
You can't come barging in here
and accuse me of truth-telling?
154
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,322
- You admit it.
- Since when is truth-telling a crime?
155
00:07:52,495 --> 00:07:55,019
- You want to talk... How about you...
- I'll tell you the problem.
156
00:07:55,197 --> 00:07:56,755
- You do zero.
- I'm the guy who...
157
00:07:56,932 --> 00:07:58,399
You sit around with your
pants down!
158
00:07:58,567 --> 00:08:01,331
Nelson Olstead. I'm the manager
of APY Collections. Hello.
159
00:08:01,504 --> 00:08:03,437
Thank you for meeting me.
I'm with Avon-Isolade,
160
00:08:03,605 --> 00:08:05,197
a debt brokerage out of Gary, Indiana.
161
00:08:05,375 --> 00:08:07,343
- Wanna buy my bad debt?
- There's no such thing
162
00:08:07,509 --> 00:08:09,273
as bad debt. Just bad collectors.
163
00:08:09,444 --> 00:08:11,572
Let me ask you something,
broker to broker.
164
00:08:11,747 --> 00:08:13,079
You ever double dip any of these?
165
00:08:13,249 --> 00:08:15,944
No. There's enough real debt.
We don't have to make it up.
166
00:08:16,119 --> 00:08:17,745
Debt collecting might
not be glamorous,
167
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,754
- but it's legit the way I do it.
- What about your other offices?
168
00:08:20,923 --> 00:08:23,255
- What about Michigan?
- We don't have a Michigan office.
169
00:08:25,327 --> 00:08:29,560
Then why do I have this canceled
check out of Muskegon, Michigan?
170
00:08:29,731 --> 00:08:31,927
I have no idea,
but we don't have any offices there.
171
00:08:35,938 --> 00:08:37,099
Thank you.
172
00:08:38,374 --> 00:08:41,706
The address you sent your checks to,
did it change recently?
173
00:08:43,346 --> 00:08:46,212
- What do you mean?
- This check, the most recent one.
174
00:08:46,381 --> 00:08:48,407
How'd you know
to send it to Michigan address?
175
00:08:48,585 --> 00:08:50,313
- What's going on?
- Your last check
176
00:08:50,485 --> 00:08:53,614
was cashed at a Michigan bank.
There are no APY offices there.
177
00:08:54,591 --> 00:08:56,923
It was from a voice mail.
178
00:08:57,894 --> 00:08:59,087
You still have it?
179
00:08:59,261 --> 00:09:02,254
This is a courtesy message
from APY Collections.
180
00:09:02,999 --> 00:09:04,932
We're calling to let you know
that the address
181
00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:07,729
for remittance of your scheduled
loan payments has changed.
182
00:09:07,903 --> 00:09:10,065
- It's not Bondi.
- Please send remittances
183
00:09:10,239 --> 00:09:16,006
to 390 Deerhorn Park, Suite 777.
Thank you.
184
00:09:16,178 --> 00:09:19,615
- Wait, that wasn't APY?
- That was a scam artist.
185
00:09:19,782 --> 00:09:23,308
He either hacked into the APY network
or he bought your records.
186
00:09:23,485 --> 00:09:25,783
Collection agencies
are wide open to abuse.
187
00:09:25,955 --> 00:09:28,115
So her last payment
was to the wrong person?
188
00:09:28,291 --> 00:09:30,816
- Yes.
- Oh, my God, I really do owe
189
00:09:30,994 --> 00:09:34,485
- $8,000 to APY then, don't I?
- Yeah, legally.
190
00:09:34,663 --> 00:09:39,624
There's got to be something I can do.
I can't pay it again.
191
00:09:40,269 --> 00:09:43,760
- Can I make an argument here?
- Yeah, sure. What's up?
192
00:09:43,940 --> 00:09:46,169
The settlement you won
for the Chagall painting...
193
00:09:46,341 --> 00:09:49,674
your pay out was $4,000
for 20 hours of work.
194
00:09:49,846 --> 00:09:53,373
- Right.
- As opposed to $500,000
195
00:09:53,548 --> 00:09:54,981
if it had been on contingency.
196
00:09:55,150 --> 00:09:59,553
Yes, but the rules on contingency
for probate are very strict.
197
00:09:59,721 --> 00:10:01,849
It would've been almost the same
as our hourly rate.
198
00:10:02,024 --> 00:10:05,323
Oh. Well, I didn't know that.
But on these other cases,
199
00:10:05,495 --> 00:10:07,190
can't we start taking them
on contingency?
200
00:10:07,363 --> 00:10:09,557
Sure, but the cases
that come through the door
201
00:10:09,731 --> 00:10:12,200
are too small.
We want the money up front.
202
00:10:12,368 --> 00:10:14,302
Maybe we shouldn't be taking
such small cases.
203
00:10:15,203 --> 00:10:17,138
Look, I want bigger cases too, Grace,
204
00:10:17,306 --> 00:10:19,500
but we need to win the small ones
to get the big ones.
205
00:10:19,676 --> 00:10:21,370
Is there any way
to turn the smaller ones
206
00:10:21,543 --> 00:10:22,738
into the bigger ones?
207
00:10:22,945 --> 00:10:27,506
Well, I don't know how,
but that sounds good.
208
00:10:27,683 --> 00:10:29,548
I'm just worried about our bills.
209
00:10:29,719 --> 00:10:34,212
I know. I am too, honey.
But this is what starting out looks like.
210
00:10:38,226 --> 00:10:39,990
What?
211
00:10:43,331 --> 00:10:46,768
Could you get me everything
you can on Colosseum University?
212
00:10:46,969 --> 00:10:49,232
Sure. What's that?
213
00:10:49,404 --> 00:10:51,498
It's a for-profit school.
214
00:10:51,673 --> 00:10:54,005
It's about to be sold.
215
00:10:54,177 --> 00:10:58,408
- Does that mean money?
- It might.
216
00:10:59,248 --> 00:11:01,739
Well, I'll get right on it.
217
00:11:01,918 --> 00:11:05,945
- You admitted earlier.
- Okay. Come on. Sit down.
218
00:11:06,121 --> 00:11:09,182
Am I the only one who's upset? Is
Howard Lyman what this firm is about?
219
00:11:09,357 --> 00:11:11,918
You better watch it, buddy boy.
I am this close to filing suit.
220
00:11:12,095 --> 00:11:13,392
To sue, you'd have to know how.
221
00:11:13,562 --> 00:11:15,758
There he goes, undercutting me
with ageist comments.
222
00:11:15,932 --> 00:11:16,956
- Oh, all right.
- What?
223
00:11:17,133 --> 00:11:19,259
- Can I have a word?
- I am aggrieved, I tell you
224
00:11:19,434 --> 00:11:21,096
I am aggrieved.
225
00:11:21,269 --> 00:11:24,568
You have to stop with
the ageist comments, Cary.
226
00:11:25,073 --> 00:11:26,541
What?
227
00:11:26,708 --> 00:11:28,198
Are you seriously siding with him?
228
00:11:28,376 --> 00:11:30,139
You are not a member
of a protected class.
229
00:11:30,312 --> 00:11:32,144
- Howard is.
- I want
230
00:11:32,315 --> 00:11:34,783
- in-house mediation.
- Howard, please.
231
00:11:34,951 --> 00:11:37,475
- I've consulted an attorney.
- Who, Alicia?
232
00:11:37,653 --> 00:11:40,383
I know my rights pursuant
to my partnership agreement.
233
00:11:40,556 --> 00:11:45,584
And if you refuse,
my only recourse is to sue.
234
00:11:45,794 --> 00:11:47,557
We're gonna keep trying
to get your money.
235
00:11:47,730 --> 00:11:48,754
But it doesn't look good.
236
00:11:48,931 --> 00:11:51,331
But there might be a way
to cancel out your debt.
237
00:11:51,533 --> 00:11:53,433
We've done some research
on your university.
238
00:11:53,602 --> 00:11:54,661
They've been subject
239
00:11:54,836 --> 00:11:57,431
to dozens of complaints
to the attorney general's office.
240
00:11:57,606 --> 00:12:00,599
They're a for-profit school.
They treat education like a product.
241
00:12:00,777 --> 00:12:03,336
And based on what you've told us,
it's a defective product.
242
00:12:03,546 --> 00:12:06,105
You borrowed $46,000
for an education
243
00:12:06,282 --> 00:12:09,740
- that didn't yield a job.
- You want me to sue Colosseum?
244
00:12:09,918 --> 00:12:12,182
We want you to let us
sue Colosseum.
245
00:12:12,355 --> 00:12:15,119
They're about to be acquired
by a private equity firm out of Texas.
246
00:12:15,291 --> 00:12:17,782
A lawsuit would have to be disclosed
to the potential buyer,
247
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,256
and that could tank the deal.
248
00:12:19,427 --> 00:12:21,554
- I can't afford a big lawsuit.
- We know.
249
00:12:22,164 --> 00:12:24,690
That's why we're going
to take this on contingency.
250
00:12:24,866 --> 00:12:25,958
You don't pay anything.
251
00:12:26,134 --> 00:12:29,070
Our payment comes
from the settlement.
252
00:12:29,639 --> 00:12:31,105
What do you say, Mags?
253
00:12:32,707 --> 00:12:37,770
- That's a nifty theory there.
- It's not a theory. It's a fact.
254
00:12:37,947 --> 00:12:39,937
Our client bought
an education from you,
255
00:12:40,115 --> 00:12:42,084
and it hasn't done
what you said it would.
256
00:12:43,085 --> 00:12:45,211
Where did you go to school,
Mrs. Florrick?
257
00:12:45,388 --> 00:12:47,048
- Georgetown.
- Hmm.
258
00:12:47,222 --> 00:12:48,985
Did they teach you to read there?
259
00:12:50,192 --> 00:12:51,216
Excuse me?
260
00:12:53,461 --> 00:12:55,225
Our enrollment agreement.
261
00:12:55,898 --> 00:12:57,626
Your client signed one.
262
00:12:57,799 --> 00:13:00,860
And paragraph 23 is the...
263
00:13:01,037 --> 00:13:04,028
- An arbitration clause.
- Oh, you can read.
264
00:13:04,206 --> 00:13:07,039
It clearly states that
any grievances must be settled
265
00:13:07,210 --> 00:13:11,340
in arbitration and settled
within 18 months of graduation.
266
00:13:11,514 --> 00:13:15,109
Your client graduated 17 months ago,
267
00:13:15,918 --> 00:13:17,613
so you do the math.
268
00:13:24,659 --> 00:13:27,322
Where is she? Ruth!
269
00:13:33,134 --> 00:13:34,830
Did you see this?
270
00:13:56,024 --> 00:13:59,051
Well, who the hell
is my constituency?
271
00:13:59,227 --> 00:14:01,196
I mean, look at this. And this one.
272
00:14:01,364 --> 00:14:03,264
- It's a nightmare.
- It's not, governor.
273
00:14:03,432 --> 00:14:05,764
Foot-in-mouth disease.
That's what they're saying.
274
00:14:05,934 --> 00:14:07,562
This is all part of a strategy.
275
00:14:07,736 --> 00:14:09,932
Ruth, don't be ridiculous.
This is a screw-up.
276
00:14:10,105 --> 00:14:12,471
Calm down, sir.
277
00:14:12,674 --> 00:14:15,269
- Everything is under control.
- Don't be ridiculous.
278
00:14:25,553 --> 00:14:27,384
- Everything all right?
- I was gonna show you
279
00:14:27,556 --> 00:14:30,320
this later, Mr. Governor.
After I got more information.
280
00:14:30,493 --> 00:14:31,926
I saw the interview in Iowa.
281
00:14:32,827 --> 00:14:34,921
Would you like to discuss it?
282
00:14:39,835 --> 00:14:42,894
- Is this real?
- As real as anything, sir.
283
00:14:43,072 --> 00:14:44,629
It's from our internals.
284
00:14:44,807 --> 00:14:48,640
- Look, if there's any way I can help...
- You're in second place.
285
00:14:48,811 --> 00:14:50,607
- And climbing.
- Wow.
286
00:14:52,815 --> 00:14:55,113
You're not selling yourself
to the press.
287
00:14:55,283 --> 00:14:58,184
They won't embrace you, anyway.
We're going right to the people.
288
00:14:58,354 --> 00:15:00,254
Yes, you're saying
controversial things.
289
00:15:00,423 --> 00:15:02,583
Yes, it's the same strategy
as the Republicans.
290
00:15:02,758 --> 00:15:06,524
- But it's working, and you're winning.
- Ruth, I am so sorry
291
00:15:06,729 --> 00:15:10,289
- I flew off the handle. Terrific job.
- Each day is an adventure.
292
00:15:10,466 --> 00:15:11,956
Okay, now what's next?
293
00:15:12,134 --> 00:15:15,261
What we're gonna do is keep
pushing this anti-union message...
294
00:15:51,104 --> 00:15:52,264
Good morning.
295
00:15:52,438 --> 00:15:55,033
Let me start by saying that
this is not a courtroom
296
00:15:55,207 --> 00:15:56,265
and I am not a judge.
297
00:15:56,442 --> 00:15:59,900
But in all ways,
the decision here is final.
298
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,605
Arbitration takes the place
of litigation.
299
00:16:02,782 --> 00:16:04,908
Mediation does not replace litigation.
300
00:16:05,085 --> 00:16:07,610
It is an attempt to settle
differences amicably,
301
00:16:07,787 --> 00:16:09,583
which is in the best interests
of the firm
302
00:16:09,755 --> 00:16:13,556
and in your own best interests,
since you are partners in this firm.
303
00:16:13,726 --> 00:16:16,490
Let's go around
the table first, and...
304
00:16:16,663 --> 00:16:21,293
please share your names and your
most embarrassing experience.
305
00:16:21,467 --> 00:16:23,095
That was a joke, people.
306
00:16:23,269 --> 00:16:27,000
You have my permission to lighten up.
Why don't we start to my right.
307
00:16:27,173 --> 00:16:29,140
Lucca Quinn.
Representing Maggie Rossum.
308
00:16:29,308 --> 00:16:32,244
- Alicia Florrick. The same.
- Carter Schmidt.
309
00:16:32,412 --> 00:16:33,902
Representing Colosseum University.
310
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,071
Good. We got through
that without an argument.
311
00:16:36,249 --> 00:16:37,614
We're well on our way.
312
00:16:37,783 --> 00:16:40,251
I'm Geoffrey Solomon.
I'll be your spirit guide.
313
00:16:40,419 --> 00:16:42,911
We will hear evidence and
follow the admissibility rules
314
00:16:43,088 --> 00:16:46,422
as determined by Rule 90
of the Illinois Supreme Court.
315
00:16:46,592 --> 00:16:49,789
So, counselors,
call your first witness.
316
00:16:49,962 --> 00:16:53,057
- Why does he get to go first?
- I'm doing it alphabetically.
317
00:16:53,799 --> 00:16:55,267
Convenient.
318
00:16:55,969 --> 00:16:59,927
Cary, what are your grievances?
How are you aggrieved?
319
00:17:00,105 --> 00:17:03,472
- He's embarrassing in front of clients.
- That's code for "old."
320
00:17:04,678 --> 00:17:06,976
And he sticks his nose
where it doesn't belong.
321
00:17:07,146 --> 00:17:08,842
That's code for "Jewish."
322
00:17:09,015 --> 00:17:11,711
You teach at Colosseum
in the dental hygienist program?
323
00:17:11,884 --> 00:17:13,182
- Yes.
- And what subject
324
00:17:13,353 --> 00:17:15,820
- did you teach my client?
- Periodontics.
325
00:17:15,989 --> 00:17:18,355
- Are you a periodontist?
- No. I'm a dental hygienist.
326
00:17:18,525 --> 00:17:20,185
A licensed dental hygienist?
327
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,453
Well, I was. I may have let
my certification lapse.
328
00:17:23,630 --> 00:17:26,359
- When?
- A couple years ago.
329
00:17:26,532 --> 00:17:28,364
Thirteen years ago, actually.
330
00:17:28,535 --> 00:17:30,526
You were never licensed
in the state of Illinois...
331
00:17:30,703 --> 00:17:33,901
I know this isn't court, but I don't think
she can both ask and answer
332
00:17:34,106 --> 00:17:36,007
- the questions.
- Counselor.
333
00:17:37,210 --> 00:17:40,337
How could my client have received
an adequate education
334
00:17:40,512 --> 00:17:43,573
- if you're not a licensed hygienist?
- Because I'm a good teacher.
335
00:17:43,750 --> 00:17:47,413
- All my students think so.
- No further questions.
336
00:17:47,619 --> 00:17:50,054
- Where were you licensed?
- Ohio.
337
00:17:50,222 --> 00:17:54,057
And dental anatomy doesn't change
when you cross state lines, does it?
338
00:17:54,227 --> 00:17:56,888
- I don't think so.
- Okay.
339
00:17:57,063 --> 00:17:58,529
- Nothing further.
- Ms. Howe,
340
00:17:58,698 --> 00:18:02,930
this is a final exam
you gave my client last year.
341
00:18:03,670 --> 00:18:07,766
Can you please read
the first question?
342
00:18:09,041 --> 00:18:11,670
"What does
the phrenic nerve innervate?"
343
00:18:12,711 --> 00:18:14,441
What's the answer to that?
344
00:18:19,519 --> 00:18:22,510
- Objection, Your Honor.
- No. We could all benefit
345
00:18:22,689 --> 00:18:24,656
from that answer.
346
00:18:25,424 --> 00:18:26,892
The exam was multiple choice,
347
00:18:27,059 --> 00:18:29,392
and you've put a piece of tape
over all the choices.
348
00:18:29,561 --> 00:18:33,862
Right. Go ahead. Remove the tape.
We'll wait.
349
00:18:35,067 --> 00:18:36,932
What's the answer?
350
00:18:38,070 --> 00:18:39,470
A.
351
00:18:39,739 --> 00:18:42,730
No. Actually, it's D.
352
00:18:46,211 --> 00:18:53,310
Geezer, gargoyle, old fart.
Flaccido Domingo.
353
00:18:53,486 --> 00:18:56,114
That one hurt especially,
given my devotion to the opera.
354
00:18:56,288 --> 00:18:59,416
And my sexual prowess.
355
00:19:01,059 --> 00:19:02,960
And you would like
this name-calling to stop?
356
00:19:03,128 --> 00:19:04,960
I would.
I've spent 30 years in this business.
357
00:19:05,131 --> 00:19:06,597
I think I deserve a little respect.
358
00:19:06,766 --> 00:19:08,494
- You have a minute?
- Where are you going?
359
00:19:08,701 --> 00:19:09,826
- Just a moment.
- Objection.
360
00:19:10,002 --> 00:19:11,993
You cannot have an
ex parte conversation
361
00:19:12,204 --> 00:19:13,762
in the middle of our trial.
362
00:19:14,941 --> 00:19:16,567
You called Howard an old geezer.
363
00:19:16,742 --> 00:19:17,971
- Okay.
- I'm not the only one
364
00:19:18,144 --> 00:19:19,805
guilty of a few indiscretions.
365
00:19:19,979 --> 00:19:21,776
Cary, please.
We're only going through this
366
00:19:21,948 --> 00:19:23,175
to keep Howard from suing.
367
00:19:23,348 --> 00:19:25,112
You sure you're
not hanging me out to dry?
368
00:19:30,856 --> 00:19:34,451
I want your ex parte communication
noted for the record.
369
00:19:34,626 --> 00:19:37,186
There is no record, Howard.
We're just trying to clear the air.
370
00:19:37,363 --> 00:19:38,796
I think we have accomplished that.
371
00:19:38,964 --> 00:19:40,522
- I wanna call a witness.
- You can't.
372
00:19:40,732 --> 00:19:44,327
- This isn't a hearing.
- I call Diane Lockhart to the stand.
373
00:19:45,637 --> 00:19:46,730
Hello, Father.
374
00:19:47,507 --> 00:19:50,634
I wanna run something by you,
but I need your undivided attention.
375
00:19:52,644 --> 00:19:54,442
I'm thinking of taking
pole dancing classes.
376
00:19:54,614 --> 00:19:56,707
- What do you think?
- If it makes you happy, dear.
377
00:19:56,883 --> 00:19:58,248
Do you know Eyal Naftali?
378
00:20:00,185 --> 00:20:01,949
- Is that a club?
- He's the chief of staff
379
00:20:02,121 --> 00:20:03,849
to Israel's communications minister.
380
00:20:04,022 --> 00:20:07,151
He wants to talk to you
about running his campaign.
381
00:20:07,326 --> 00:20:10,057
- His campaign for what?
- The Knesset.
382
00:20:10,262 --> 00:20:12,196
And, in a few years, prime minister.
383
00:20:12,365 --> 00:20:14,696
- How do you know this?
- I knew his daughter in the IDF.
384
00:20:14,867 --> 00:20:15,892
Her dad contacted me.
385
00:20:16,803 --> 00:20:17,894
I see what you're doing.
386
00:20:18,070 --> 00:20:19,902
I'm giving you the chance
to make an impact.
387
00:20:20,073 --> 00:20:21,335
It's "have" an impact,
388
00:20:21,508 --> 00:20:23,499
- "make" a difference.
- You want Netanyahu out,
389
00:20:23,675 --> 00:20:26,201
here's your chance. Mr. Naftali
is offering you twice as much
390
00:20:26,378 --> 00:20:28,539
- as you're making now.
- How do you know what I make?
391
00:20:28,714 --> 00:20:32,651
I'm a witch. Talk to him, Dad.
What do you have to lose?
392
00:20:35,188 --> 00:20:38,384
Eighty-two percent
of Colosseum graduates
393
00:20:38,557 --> 00:20:42,357
find employment
within a year of graduation.
394
00:20:42,528 --> 00:20:44,554
What employment?
395
00:20:46,532 --> 00:20:48,898
- What do you mean?
- You said, "82 percent
396
00:20:49,067 --> 00:20:52,434
find employment
within a year of graduating."
397
00:20:52,605 --> 00:20:53,765
I'm just asking:
398
00:20:53,940 --> 00:20:56,101
What kind of employment
are we talking about here?
399
00:20:56,308 --> 00:20:58,173
Professional employment?
Fast food work?
400
00:20:58,344 --> 00:21:00,368
- Temping, like Maggie?
- Any employment.
401
00:21:00,547 --> 00:21:02,276
How many work
less than 15 hours a week?
402
00:21:02,448 --> 00:21:05,611
- I have no idea.
- We do. Thirty three percent.
403
00:21:05,817 --> 00:21:07,079
How many work minimum wage jobs?
404
00:21:07,252 --> 00:21:10,450
We run a high-risk,
low-functioning population, miss.
405
00:21:10,623 --> 00:21:13,114
Fifty-five percent. Why don't you
put that in your brochure?
406
00:21:13,326 --> 00:21:15,123
Let's not badger, shall we?
407
00:21:15,327 --> 00:21:18,888
The reality is the vast majority
of Colosseum students end up
408
00:21:19,065 --> 00:21:20,862
worse off than before they started.
409
00:21:21,034 --> 00:21:23,969
They wind up unemployable
and saddled with massive debt.
410
00:21:24,136 --> 00:21:25,729
Your Honor,
do we need the speeches?
411
00:21:25,904 --> 00:21:28,066
No, we don't.
Counselor, is there a question here?
412
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,071
- Nothing further.
- President Stenborg,
413
00:21:30,242 --> 00:21:33,734
you make it sound like you don't care
about the quality of the education.
414
00:21:33,913 --> 00:21:38,042
- Is that true?
- No. I care very much.
415
00:21:38,217 --> 00:21:42,118
But I also care about running
a successful business.
416
00:21:42,288 --> 00:21:44,085
- You supply a service.
- Yes.
417
00:21:44,257 --> 00:21:47,453
Traditionally,
higher education is a product
418
00:21:47,626 --> 00:21:48,820
marketed only to the elite.
419
00:21:48,994 --> 00:21:50,894
You're making it available
to the masses?
420
00:21:51,064 --> 00:21:52,291
Exactly.
421
00:21:52,464 --> 00:21:55,298
If we didn't do it,
these students would never get
422
00:21:55,468 --> 00:21:56,901
into another institution.
423
00:21:57,069 --> 00:21:58,833
Do you mislead prospective
students?
424
00:21:59,005 --> 00:22:01,769
No. We're not allowed to.
425
00:22:01,941 --> 00:22:05,740
We're subject to the same laws
every business must follow.
426
00:22:05,912 --> 00:22:10,109
Our customers get exactly
what they pay for, no more, no less.
427
00:22:10,282 --> 00:22:12,979
Okay, I think we can all agree
that Colosseum is not Harvard.
428
00:22:13,152 --> 00:22:15,643
- That's not what we're claiming.
- But you're focusing
429
00:22:15,821 --> 00:22:17,288
on the ways in which Colosseum
430
00:22:17,457 --> 00:22:20,085
doesn't measure up to traditional
notions of higher education.
431
00:22:20,259 --> 00:22:22,921
No, we're focusing
on deceptive practices.
432
00:22:23,096 --> 00:22:24,926
Then I'd suggest you
stop presenting evidence
433
00:22:25,097 --> 00:22:26,530
on Colosseum being inadequate,
434
00:22:26,699 --> 00:22:30,031
and instead focus
on the ways they actually lied
435
00:22:30,769 --> 00:22:32,670
to their students.
436
00:22:50,423 --> 00:22:51,616
Can I help you?
437
00:22:52,724 --> 00:22:54,989
Yeah. I was actually hoping
438
00:22:55,161 --> 00:22:57,492
to rent out these offices,
if they're not occupied.
439
00:22:57,663 --> 00:23:00,530
They're open. Last occupant
just used it as a mail drop.
440
00:23:00,700 --> 00:23:03,827
They took off a month ago. How much
square footage are you looking for?
441
00:23:04,002 --> 00:23:07,063
Like 800, but I'd love to take a look.
Jason Crouse.
442
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,470
- I run a skip-tracer business.
- Nice to meet you.
443
00:23:09,642 --> 00:23:12,542
Harrison Strode.
I manage this location.
444
00:23:12,711 --> 00:23:15,977
A lot of people like
the prestigious address.
445
00:23:17,349 --> 00:23:19,477
Here we go.
446
00:23:22,221 --> 00:23:24,586
Well, the size is right.
447
00:23:25,458 --> 00:23:26,981
Would you mind
getting those shades?
448
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,720
Sure. It's $600 a month,
with utilities.
449
00:23:29,895 --> 00:23:33,991
It's Wi-Fi ready,
and the view is not bad.
450
00:23:55,621 --> 00:23:57,281
Alicia, how's arbitration?
451
00:23:57,490 --> 00:24:00,755
- Not good. You busy?
- Never.
452
00:24:00,926 --> 00:24:03,691
The arbiter needs some lies
that Colosseum tells its students.
453
00:24:03,863 --> 00:24:06,593
- Can you find something?
- Sure. What's the timeline?
454
00:24:06,766 --> 00:24:08,393
Tomorrow.
455
00:24:08,567 --> 00:24:11,934
- All right. Let me see what I can do.
- Great. Thanks.
456
00:24:12,105 --> 00:24:13,366
Goodbye.
457
00:24:13,905 --> 00:24:15,737
- Surprise!
- Marissa!
458
00:24:15,907 --> 00:24:18,468
Hey, what's up?
459
00:24:18,644 --> 00:24:19,941
- It's been a while.
- I know.
460
00:24:20,113 --> 00:24:21,910
Your office looks amazing.
I can't believe
461
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,571
- you did this all without me.
- I thought you were in Israel.
462
00:24:24,750 --> 00:24:27,310
I was. Designing purses. Really cool.
463
00:24:27,519 --> 00:24:28,884
Leather and macramé.
464
00:24:29,055 --> 00:24:31,546
But then I got worried my dad
was having a nervous breakdown.
465
00:24:31,723 --> 00:24:34,056
- About what? You being away?
- No.
466
00:24:34,227 --> 00:24:37,594
- Do you have any cereal?
- Sure.
467
00:24:41,433 --> 00:24:42,458
What was I saying?
468
00:24:42,634 --> 00:24:45,832
- Your dad, you're worried about him.
- He's having trouble letting go.
469
00:24:46,038 --> 00:24:48,403
Running Peter's campaign was his life.
470
00:24:48,574 --> 00:24:52,601
- Well, he's my chief of staff now.
- I know. I heard.
471
00:24:52,778 --> 00:24:53,802
But
472
00:24:54,846 --> 00:24:58,782
- you disapprove?
- No. I just, you know...
473
00:25:00,252 --> 00:25:01,685
You're right, I don't approve.
474
00:25:01,854 --> 00:25:03,651
- Why?
- He's about to pass up
475
00:25:03,823 --> 00:25:05,790
an opportunity to run
a campaign in Israel...
476
00:25:05,958 --> 00:25:07,686
A big campaign... Because of you.
477
00:25:07,859 --> 00:25:10,420
Well, I never guilted Eli into
anything. He wanted to stay.
478
00:25:10,596 --> 00:25:13,929
I know. And that's why I'm hoping
you'll fire him.
479
00:25:14,767 --> 00:25:16,758
- Marissa.
- That's the only way he'll move on.
480
00:25:16,935 --> 00:25:19,597
Convince him you don't want him.
I know it's hard on you.
481
00:25:19,771 --> 00:25:21,705
Don't do it for you, do it for him.
482
00:25:22,508 --> 00:25:25,203
Please fire him.
483
00:25:32,711 --> 00:25:34,144
What are you looking to major in?
484
00:25:34,869 --> 00:25:36,769
I was thinking dental hygiene.
485
00:25:36,939 --> 00:25:39,134
Are you guys accredited
with the ADA?
486
00:25:39,340 --> 00:25:41,707
Well, I'll tell you the truth.
Right now, we're not.
487
00:25:41,876 --> 00:25:44,778
It's pending, but you don't
want to be a dental hygienist.
488
00:25:44,947 --> 00:25:46,778
I mean, come on, look at you,
a guy like you?
489
00:25:46,949 --> 00:25:49,473
You like cars? We got a
great automotive tech program.
490
00:25:49,652 --> 00:25:52,746
Yeah? How do your graduates
do in the workforce?
491
00:25:54,355 --> 00:25:55,982
Look, you know,
I can show you the stats.
492
00:25:56,157 --> 00:25:58,148
We got time.
But do you wanna get some lunch?
493
00:26:00,496 --> 00:26:02,987
You know, let me think about it.
494
00:26:03,164 --> 00:26:04,393
- Thank you.
- Wait, Ja...
495
00:26:06,434 --> 00:26:07,492
Are you a vet?
496
00:26:09,404 --> 00:26:11,066
Yeah. Why?
497
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:12,969
Because I'm about to make your day.
498
00:26:13,142 --> 00:26:15,133
See, most of our students,
they gotta come up
499
00:26:15,310 --> 00:26:17,575
with at least ten percent
of the tuition out of pocket.
500
00:26:17,746 --> 00:26:19,645
But you get the golden ticket.
501
00:26:19,815 --> 00:26:22,909
You got Federal loans,
plus the G.I. Bill.
502
00:26:23,085 --> 00:26:25,986
- Let me show you.
- All right.
503
00:26:30,192 --> 00:26:32,422
You got something.
504
00:26:36,397 --> 00:26:39,663
- What?
- Ninety-ten.
505
00:26:41,336 --> 00:26:42,634
I have no idea what that is.
506
00:26:42,805 --> 00:26:44,602
You need to call
this recruitment officer.
507
00:26:44,772 --> 00:26:47,434
- Randy Duffield.
- What's his number?
508
00:26:47,609 --> 00:26:49,009
No.
509
00:26:49,177 --> 00:26:50,974
Call him as your next witness.
510
00:26:52,013 --> 00:26:55,814
Mr. Duffield, can you please
tell us about the 90-10 rule?
511
00:26:56,618 --> 00:26:58,848
It is a Federal law that prohibits
512
00:26:59,020 --> 00:27:01,854
for-profit colleges
from receiving more than
513
00:27:02,023 --> 00:27:05,152
90 percent of their revenues
from student aid.
514
00:27:05,326 --> 00:27:07,317
And where does the other
ten percent come from?
515
00:27:07,496 --> 00:27:10,020
From the students themselves.
Their own private funds.
516
00:27:10,199 --> 00:27:13,463
- But there's a loophole, isn't there?
- I'm not sure what you mean.
517
00:27:13,635 --> 00:27:16,798
Veterans. G.I. Bill
and DoD tuition assistance.
518
00:27:16,971 --> 00:27:20,567
That can be counted as private money
on the ten-percent side.
519
00:27:20,742 --> 00:27:23,404
I'm not sure where
we're going with this.
520
00:27:23,578 --> 00:27:25,410
Our client, Maggie Rossum,
is a veteran.
521
00:27:25,580 --> 00:27:28,743
So veterans can go to
Colosseum for no money out of pocket.
522
00:27:28,951 --> 00:27:33,387
Do you target veterans in order to take
advantage of this 90-10 rule?
523
00:27:33,556 --> 00:27:34,647
- No.
- Really?
524
00:27:34,823 --> 00:27:36,814
Did you receive this email
525
00:27:36,991 --> 00:27:39,050
from Colosseum's
head of recruitment last year?
526
00:27:39,228 --> 00:27:41,923
It suggests that you lure veterans
527
00:27:42,096 --> 00:27:44,530
from veteran hospitals
and Wounded Warrior centers.
528
00:27:44,700 --> 00:27:46,963
Objection as to "lure."
529
00:27:48,836 --> 00:27:52,465
Sure. Find another word for "lure."
530
00:27:53,241 --> 00:27:54,367
Persuade.
531
00:27:54,542 --> 00:27:59,605
Isn't it a fact that you persuade
poor, unqualified applicants
532
00:27:59,781 --> 00:28:03,548
to take out loans
they can't possibly repay?
533
00:28:03,719 --> 00:28:05,618
That's just not true.
534
00:28:06,588 --> 00:28:07,613
Nothing further.
535
00:28:08,190 --> 00:28:11,250
Mr. Duffield,
is Mrs. Florrick spinning your words?
536
00:28:11,426 --> 00:28:13,587
- Yes.
- You believe in what you do?
537
00:28:13,761 --> 00:28:16,924
Look, our students, they may not be
the best and the brightest...
538
00:28:17,098 --> 00:28:20,693
I'm sorry to say that, but it's true.
But it doesn't mean
539
00:28:20,868 --> 00:28:23,861
- that they don't deserve a chance.
- Thank you.
540
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,231
I'd like to call Maggie Rossum.
541
00:28:29,811 --> 00:28:35,272
Did you or did you not, Ms. Lockhart,
suggest that I catheterize myself
542
00:28:35,451 --> 00:28:37,248
at a client meeting which took place
543
00:28:37,419 --> 00:28:39,386
in this very room
less than a week ago?
544
00:28:39,555 --> 00:28:41,215
You were getting up
to go to the bathroom
545
00:28:41,390 --> 00:28:44,257
- every five minutes, Howard.
- Yes or no?
546
00:28:44,425 --> 00:28:46,951
Howard, we all make jokes,
including you,
547
00:28:47,128 --> 00:28:49,426
- about everyone at the firm.
- I'll take that as a yes.
548
00:28:49,597 --> 00:28:51,792
Cary gets made fun of
for his youthful appearance.
549
00:28:51,967 --> 00:28:53,798
Twerp, pimple, pre-schooler.
550
00:28:53,969 --> 00:28:56,596
And we've all made fun
of David Lee for... Well, you know.
551
00:28:56,771 --> 00:28:58,467
I've heard you joke about
552
00:28:58,641 --> 00:29:00,768
- the pole stuck about Diane's ass.
- Excuse me?
553
00:29:00,942 --> 00:29:03,104
No. Come on, that's different.
554
00:29:03,278 --> 00:29:05,304
- How is that different?
- I'm not talking about
555
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,175
harmless ribbing.
556
00:29:10,118 --> 00:29:14,145
People pour prune juice in my coffee.
557
00:29:14,323 --> 00:29:15,983
They leave adult diapers in my office.
558
00:29:16,157 --> 00:29:19,355
- Oh, come on, Howard.
- What? They do.
559
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,154
No one is leaving
adult diapers in your office, Howard.
560
00:29:24,500 --> 00:29:26,990
I think he wants us to follow him.
561
00:29:31,205 --> 00:29:33,435
"Property of Howard Lyman."
562
00:29:40,982 --> 00:29:45,146
And here's a...
563
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:46,782
A bib.
564
00:29:48,624 --> 00:29:50,147
And a catheter.
565
00:29:50,326 --> 00:29:53,453
- I had nothing to do with that.
- But you're creating the climate.
566
00:29:53,628 --> 00:29:56,564
Well, it's a diaper, Howard,
it's not a burning swastika.
567
00:29:56,731 --> 00:29:58,528
These young associates,
they look up to you.
568
00:29:58,701 --> 00:30:01,226
They follow your cues,
and this is what they do.
569
00:30:01,403 --> 00:30:05,134
They harass me. They humiliate me.
570
00:30:07,809 --> 00:30:09,903
Howard, I am so sorry.
571
00:30:10,112 --> 00:30:12,875
And I want you to know we are
gonna take meaningful steps
572
00:30:13,048 --> 00:30:18,816
to correct this ageist culture
that we may have unwittingly fostered.
573
00:30:20,823 --> 00:30:23,383
Would you consider yourself
a good student, Ms. Rossum?
574
00:30:23,558 --> 00:30:25,321
I don't know. I...
575
00:30:25,493 --> 00:30:28,087
- I did my best.
- Good.
576
00:30:28,262 --> 00:30:32,825
That's all any of us can hope for.
Doing our best.
577
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,095
Now, in order to do your best,
you would need to show up
578
00:30:36,270 --> 00:30:38,500
for classes, right?
Would you agree to that?
579
00:30:38,673 --> 00:30:40,106
- That depends.
- It does?
580
00:30:40,275 --> 00:30:42,903
You can be a good student
even if you don't show up for class?
581
00:30:43,077 --> 00:30:47,572
- I would object to that, Mr. Solomon.
- I understand why, but no.
582
00:30:47,950 --> 00:30:50,248
I think that you can be a
good student in a lot of ways.
583
00:30:50,419 --> 00:30:51,909
I understand why you would say that.
584
00:30:52,086 --> 00:30:56,285
According to your attendance records,
you missed two-thirds of your classes.
585
00:30:56,458 --> 00:30:59,290
Do you think that's accurate,
or do you think it's wrong?
586
00:31:02,730 --> 00:31:04,699
I had to work a lot to pay my bills.
587
00:31:04,866 --> 00:31:07,232
What about books,
the ones assigned for class?
588
00:31:07,403 --> 00:31:12,363
- Did you buy any?
- Did I buy any textbooks?
589
00:31:12,540 --> 00:31:13,769
No, but I...
590
00:31:13,942 --> 00:31:17,969
So aside from tuition, what
did you spend all that loan money on?
591
00:31:18,180 --> 00:31:20,614
They told me I could use that
money for living expenses.
592
00:31:20,782 --> 00:31:22,717
Living expenses
incurred while you weren't
593
00:31:22,884 --> 00:31:24,546
buying books or attending classes.
594
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,621
Looks more like a defective user
than a defective product.
595
00:31:27,789 --> 00:31:29,621
- Objection!
- Objection!
596
00:31:29,791 --> 00:31:31,054
He made it sound really bad.
597
00:31:31,226 --> 00:31:33,955
That's because
it is really bad, Maggie.
598
00:31:34,128 --> 00:31:35,460
The credit card interest
was eating me alive.
599
00:31:35,631 --> 00:31:38,463
Paying off that card seemed
like the smart thing to do. I...
600
00:31:38,634 --> 00:31:40,965
- And it wasn't illegal.
- Well, maybe not.
601
00:31:41,135 --> 00:31:43,604
- But it doesn't look good.
- Did I miss classes? Yes.
602
00:31:43,771 --> 00:31:46,900
But that's because
I was working two jobs.
603
00:31:47,075 --> 00:31:48,837
I always got notes
when I couldn't make it.
604
00:31:49,010 --> 00:31:51,308
- What about the books?
- We'd get PDF versions,
605
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,674
print them out,
pass them around. I mean...
606
00:31:53,848 --> 00:31:56,715
We all tried to make the best of it,
we really did.
607
00:31:58,119 --> 00:32:00,952
- Who's "we"?
- My study group.
608
00:32:01,123 --> 00:32:05,491
We'd just kind of share horror stories,
you know, job tips, that kind of thing.
609
00:32:05,661 --> 00:32:07,491
How many students?
610
00:32:10,865 --> 00:32:14,096
Look, we just need to enumerate
ways Colosseum lied to you.
611
00:32:20,174 --> 00:32:21,232
We just need to wait.
612
00:32:23,778 --> 00:32:26,179
I see you're running
an adult day care now.
613
00:32:26,347 --> 00:32:28,373
- You wanted to talk?
- Yes.
614
00:32:34,789 --> 00:32:38,988
I'll get right to the point, Eli.
I just don't trust you anymore.
615
00:32:40,796 --> 00:32:43,822
I need to be working
with someone different.
616
00:32:43,999 --> 00:32:47,332
Someone who gets along with Ruth,
who has her confidence.
617
00:32:50,137 --> 00:32:52,572
- Did Marissa talk to you?
- No.
618
00:32:54,076 --> 00:32:59,377
Eli. You have an ulterior motive here
and you know it. You are using me.
619
00:32:59,548 --> 00:33:02,675
Yes, but you're using me too.
620
00:33:02,851 --> 00:33:05,080
I keep Ruth from messing
with your life.
621
00:33:05,287 --> 00:33:08,551
Well, I can do that on my own.
No, Eli.
622
00:33:09,490 --> 00:33:12,324
I really appreciate everything
you've done for me,
623
00:33:12,493 --> 00:33:17,328
but now, we need to part ways.
624
00:33:18,933 --> 00:33:20,696
You're serious?
625
00:33:21,202 --> 00:33:22,727
Yes.
626
00:33:23,238 --> 00:33:24,671
We both need a fresh start.
627
00:33:24,839 --> 00:33:27,536
I know it won't be easy,
628
00:33:28,876 --> 00:33:30,366
but it's time.
629
00:33:34,849 --> 00:33:36,545
Good-bye, Eli.
630
00:33:47,895 --> 00:33:50,592
No, I agree. I think maybe
a class action makes sense.
631
00:33:50,766 --> 00:33:52,426
I'm not sure if
we have the wherewithal...
632
00:33:52,601 --> 00:33:54,432
Actually, a class action
isn't possible here.
633
00:33:54,603 --> 00:33:56,400
Why is that?
634
00:33:56,572 --> 00:33:58,596
The enrollment agreement
you signed.
635
00:33:58,773 --> 00:34:00,969
When you registered at Colosseum,
636
00:34:01,143 --> 00:34:03,542
you signed a document saying
you wouldn't sue the school.
637
00:34:03,711 --> 00:34:06,145
- I signed a hundred pieces of paper.
- Are you serious?
638
00:34:06,347 --> 00:34:08,577
We can really sign away our rights?
639
00:34:08,750 --> 00:34:11,878
Unfortunately, yeah.
Legally, you can.
640
00:34:12,054 --> 00:34:13,715
So the school can screw all of us,
641
00:34:13,889 --> 00:34:15,947
and then trick us into not
doing anything about it?
642
00:34:20,762 --> 00:34:25,061
A class action suit isn't possible,
but a debt strike is.
643
00:34:25,934 --> 00:34:27,798
It's already happening
at another for-profit.
644
00:34:27,969 --> 00:34:29,994
Corinthian College.
645
00:34:36,010 --> 00:34:39,070
This is a list
of 350 Colosseum graduates
646
00:34:39,246 --> 00:34:42,273
who are ready to default collectively
and suffer the consequences,
647
00:34:42,483 --> 00:34:44,679
unless you intervene
with the Department of Education
648
00:34:44,885 --> 00:34:47,786
and the loan companies
to settle their debts.
649
00:34:48,322 --> 00:34:51,086
- Really? Getting desperate, are we?
- It's a debt strike.
650
00:34:51,259 --> 00:34:53,750
Let's see how that will play
with your resale value.
651
00:34:55,597 --> 00:34:57,326
Or you can settle.
652
00:34:57,498 --> 00:34:59,592
We're listening.
653
00:35:04,731 --> 00:35:10,364
Okay, now I need everyone
to take the cotton balls in front of you.
654
00:35:10,538 --> 00:35:13,335
Pick one up, please. Just one.
655
00:35:13,875 --> 00:35:19,541
Okay, now insert it into
your right nostril, please.
656
00:35:19,713 --> 00:35:21,614
Good and tight.
657
00:35:26,153 --> 00:35:29,179
Okay, now
take the cardboard glasses.
658
00:35:29,356 --> 00:35:31,518
Look at him. He's enjoying himself.
659
00:35:31,693 --> 00:35:34,217
They're coated with a diffused filter.
660
00:35:34,394 --> 00:35:37,659
And put them over your eyes, please.
661
00:35:37,831 --> 00:35:39,766
Now take the kernels of corn.
662
00:35:39,934 --> 00:35:41,902
A handful will do.
663
00:35:42,070 --> 00:35:44,561
And put them in each shoe.
664
00:35:45,639 --> 00:35:49,838
Come on. Sensitivity training.
Let's be sensitive.
665
00:35:50,878 --> 00:35:53,677
You know what?
I think Howard planted those diapers,
666
00:35:53,847 --> 00:35:55,007
so we would have to do this.
667
00:35:55,182 --> 00:35:57,173
- Here we go.
- Good.
668
00:35:57,784 --> 00:36:01,619
Now I want everyone to walk.
669
00:36:01,789 --> 00:36:06,920
And do something simple
like tie your shoes. Go.
670
00:36:07,094 --> 00:36:08,186
Ow.
671
00:36:08,896 --> 00:36:10,364
It hurts.
672
00:36:10,530 --> 00:36:13,556
This is what it's like
to be 80 years old.
673
00:36:13,735 --> 00:36:16,168
This is what it's like to walk.
674
00:36:17,105 --> 00:36:19,096
Isn't that right, Howard?
675
00:36:19,273 --> 00:36:22,539
Sometimes every day is a struggle.
676
00:36:22,710 --> 00:36:25,907
I'm sorry I take naps,
but now you know why.
677
00:36:26,447 --> 00:36:29,210
All day it hurts.
678
00:36:29,951 --> 00:36:32,818
I think Howard could use
all of your support right now.
679
00:36:36,824 --> 00:36:38,416
This is not happening.
680
00:36:40,594 --> 00:36:44,588
I think unions do have a place.
But if we're gonna stay competitive
681
00:36:44,766 --> 00:36:47,393
in a global economy, then,
I think we have to look
682
00:36:47,568 --> 00:36:50,628
beyond the standard
management-labor paradigm.
683
00:36:50,804 --> 00:36:51,998
Excuse me, guys.
684
00:36:52,206 --> 00:36:54,139
Then you agree with your husband,
Mrs. Florrick?
685
00:36:55,409 --> 00:36:57,934
I do. I think creative solutions
are essential.
686
00:36:58,112 --> 00:37:00,306
- So you're against unions?
- No.
687
00:37:00,481 --> 00:37:02,311
But I support my husband
when he says
688
00:37:02,483 --> 00:37:04,246
he's looking for new ways
to avoid strikes.
689
00:37:04,418 --> 00:37:07,320
Then what do you think of your
wife's debt strike, Mr. Governor?
690
00:37:07,487 --> 00:37:09,614
Mr. Governor, I think we have
to get into the ballroom.
691
00:37:09,791 --> 00:37:11,849
You don't.
Your wife is organizing a debt strike
692
00:37:12,025 --> 00:37:13,492
at Colosseum University.
693
00:37:13,661 --> 00:37:15,992
- Well, I support my wife.
- Even though she's unionizing?
694
00:37:16,164 --> 00:37:18,927
- I would rather look at the facts...
- You are organizing a strike,
695
00:37:19,099 --> 00:37:20,293
aren't you, Mrs. Florrick?
696
00:37:20,467 --> 00:37:23,130
Unfortunately, attorney-client privilege
prevents me from saying...
697
00:37:23,304 --> 00:37:25,362
- We've had enough.
- Okay for your wife to strike,
698
00:37:25,539 --> 00:37:26,597
but not my union?
699
00:37:27,809 --> 00:37:30,277
You gave Alicia the debt-strike idea,
didn't you?
700
00:37:30,445 --> 00:37:33,106
Peter told me to keep a handle
on the family, and we've got Alicia
701
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,840
stirring up trouble on an issue
that's no-win for the campaign!
702
00:37:36,016 --> 00:37:37,780
- It's not no-win.
- Peter can't be saying:
703
00:37:37,952 --> 00:37:40,181
"Vote for me" in one breath,
and "Don't worry
704
00:37:40,355 --> 00:37:42,117
about paying back the government"
in the next.
705
00:37:42,289 --> 00:37:46,385
Oh. You're right. I didn't think of that.
I guess he won't choose between
706
00:37:46,561 --> 00:37:48,688
alienating the unions
or business interests, either.
707
00:37:48,862 --> 00:37:50,853
- You're killing Peter's campaign!
- No, I'm not.
708
00:37:51,032 --> 00:37:53,023
I'm not running Peter's campaign.
709
00:38:05,146 --> 00:38:08,012
Mr. Naftali, Eli Gold.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
710
00:38:08,181 --> 00:38:10,672
I didn't realize it was so late
with you there.
711
00:38:10,851 --> 00:38:15,811
I've given your offer a lot of thought,
and as tempting as it is,
712
00:38:16,590 --> 00:38:18,525
I'm gonna stay put.
713
00:38:22,829 --> 00:38:24,490
- Molly Tuff?
- Yes?
714
00:38:24,664 --> 00:38:26,690
Colosseum class of 2013?
715
00:38:27,201 --> 00:38:28,827
Yeah. Who are you?
716
00:38:29,503 --> 00:38:31,869
I think this is yours.
717
00:38:32,373 --> 00:38:34,568
It's your payment on your student loan.
718
00:38:34,742 --> 00:38:37,108
- How'd you get it?
- From the person who scammed you.
719
00:38:37,311 --> 00:38:40,336
I'm a private investigator. I have
a client who fell for the same scam.
720
00:38:40,514 --> 00:38:42,449
Sent her payment
to that address too.
721
00:38:42,617 --> 00:38:47,179
I can't believe you got it back.
I never have luck like this.
722
00:38:47,755 --> 00:38:49,222
- Oh, my God.
- What?
723
00:38:49,389 --> 00:38:52,916
They just called yesterday
with a new address.
724
00:38:53,827 --> 00:38:56,126
Can I get that address from you?
725
00:39:27,862 --> 00:39:29,989
Hello, jackass.
726
00:40:34,661 --> 00:40:38,496
- Eli. Hi.
- I'm staying on.
727
00:40:41,936 --> 00:40:44,403
Okay. Sounds good.
728
00:40:51,378 --> 00:40:54,347
Mrs. Florrick,
I apologize if I'm interrupting.
729
00:40:54,514 --> 00:40:56,813
- What do you need, Mr. Schmidt?
- Just to deliver this.
730
00:40:58,018 --> 00:40:59,849
Colosseum is suing you
and Lucca Quinn
731
00:41:00,021 --> 00:41:02,989
for tortious interference with contract.
732
00:41:11,135 --> 00:41:13,603
A judge
will probably knock this down.
733
00:41:13,771 --> 00:41:16,297
I don't think so. There's an
argument that we crossed a line
734
00:41:16,474 --> 00:41:18,739
when we encouraged students
not to pay back their debt.
735
00:41:18,911 --> 00:41:21,744
We escalated, so, they escalated
further, and now we need to...
736
00:41:21,914 --> 00:41:24,246
- Keep going.
- No, I was gonna say deescalate.
737
00:41:24,416 --> 00:41:25,780
Lucca's right.
738
00:41:25,951 --> 00:41:28,442
The debt strike is working.
Colosseum stock is falling.
739
00:41:29,021 --> 00:41:31,887
Colosseum has not been willing
to back down so far.
740
00:41:33,826 --> 00:41:37,454
Not to us. But what if it was
someone they cared about even more,
741
00:41:37,630 --> 00:41:39,597
that was applying the pressure?
742
00:41:39,764 --> 00:41:43,496
You don't happen to know anything
about this shareholder derivative suit
743
00:41:43,668 --> 00:41:48,436
- that's been filed against us, do you?
- Absolutely not,
744
00:41:48,606 --> 00:41:51,166
but if I had to guess,
I'd say the theory is
745
00:41:51,342 --> 00:41:54,436
that Colosseum's predatory
recruitment tactics
746
00:41:54,612 --> 00:41:58,947
are a violation of the school's fiduciary
duty towards its shareholders.
747
00:41:59,117 --> 00:42:02,315
- Am I right?
- Uncanny.
748
00:42:02,487 --> 00:42:04,478
Just to recap,
you're facing a debt strike
749
00:42:04,657 --> 00:42:06,454
which is destroying
your not-very-good name,
750
00:42:06,625 --> 00:42:09,492
a shareholder suit
which could bankrupt you in court,
751
00:42:09,661 --> 00:42:10,992
and if either continues,
752
00:42:11,163 --> 00:42:13,222
the Feds are going to investigate
and revoke
753
00:42:13,431 --> 00:42:16,059
your eligibility to receive funding.
754
00:42:16,835 --> 00:42:18,358
What do you want?
755
00:42:25,443 --> 00:42:26,911
Hi.
756
00:42:27,079 --> 00:42:28,670
I'm sorry to bother you so late.
757
00:42:28,847 --> 00:42:30,838
I just wanted to drop something off.
758
00:42:31,016 --> 00:42:34,007
- What is it?
- Belongs to Maggie.
759
00:42:34,987 --> 00:42:37,887
- Her $8,000?
- Yeah.
760
00:42:38,056 --> 00:42:40,753
- From the scammer?
- Yeah.
761
00:42:40,958 --> 00:42:45,054
- How did you do that?
- I persuaded him.
762
00:42:45,864 --> 00:42:49,492
- How?
- By being persuasive.
763
00:42:50,902 --> 00:42:52,666
You're not gonna tell me, are you?
764
00:42:52,838 --> 00:42:55,362
I will tell you
whatever you wanna know.
765
00:42:55,541 --> 00:42:56,599
Oh.
766
00:42:57,275 --> 00:43:00,268
I get to the end of the day,
I'm so tired, sometimes,
767
00:43:01,112 --> 00:43:03,911
- I can't think straight.
- That is why I drink.
768
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,483
What do you drink?
63027
