Reddick/Boseman took an $800,000 bribe

from a client.

It might be in trouble.

I don't want you to get in trouble.

Okay.

Thanks.

- Hey.
- Hey.

What's wrong?

Colin Morello was just in my office...

warning me to stay away
from the firm's finances

because... we took an $800,000 bribe.

That's what I told my dad.

I know.

Look, I know your first
instinct would be to call him,

- but for the firm...
- We need to tell the partners.

I'm Mike Kresteva,

head of the DOJ task force, and...

I'm Spencer Zschau, Assistant
United States Attorney.

This firm is responsible
for several major crimes,

but we're gonna start by
focusing on just two of them...

bribery and tax evasion.

One of the name partners in the firm,

Adrian Boseman, accepted
an $800,000 bribe

to help a client evade taxes.

Now, remember the burden of
proof on a grand jury is low.

Your job is merely to
indict, not to convict.

So please keep in mind
you don't need to believe

beyond a reasonable doubt.

You only need to believe
that the accused...

could have committed a crime.

Miss Tascioni, this is an order

from a federal magistrate compelling you

to assist in our investigation.

Mike. Hi.

Well, come on in.

Oh, sorry, I don't
have enough... chairs.

Are you here to arrest me?

No. We're here to confiscate that.

Ada, erase history. Purge all files.

Understood. Activating.

Congratulations, you just
tampered with evidence.

The Purge is a horror/sci-fi thriller

premiering in 2013,

starring Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey...

Ada, no! Cancel!

As the independent observer,

this conversation is determined
to be "not privileged."

You're enjoying this.

No, I'm working with you.

I want you to succeed.

What were you asking about Kresteva?

Okay...

What?

- Yeah.
- Listen.

But yes, this problem
should be an easy fix.

Just back-date receipts.

The important thing is that
Kresteva believes Travis exists.

Just tell me what this is about.

Sit down.

What's going on?

I gave you everything you needed.

Are you working with them?

Am I working with them? Who's them?

The Reddick/Boseman defense team.

Are you helping your daughter
feed us false information?

No. What are you talking about?

Travis Leopold. There was no bribe.

He doesn't exist.

Ms. Tascioni admitted it

on her Ada device.

Here are the two options.

Either you're working with them,

or your daughter knew
you were wearing a wire

and misled you.

I have to see her.

No. She can see you in prison.

- We're having your bail revoked.
- Wait, wait, wait.

Let me find out what happened.

- I can't trust you.
- Please.

I just need to talk to her.

You'll record it?

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Do we have company?
- Oh, yes.

Your dad's here.

He's in the bathroom. Here.

- What's this?
- Rum and coke.

Oh...

How long has he been here?

- 15 minutes.
- Mm.

What have you guys been speaking ab...

Shit.

What? What's wrong?

Uh, will you keep him occupied?

Okay.

Henry... are you sure
you don't want a drink?

No, I don't think it's
a good idea with my bail.

Maia. How are you?

Dad. Good.

Uh, will you give me a sec?

Your apartment looks beautiful, Amy.

Thank you.

We may have to move in a month or two.

Oh, why's that?

Money, Dad.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

Why don't I let you two talk.

- Good to see you, Amy.
- You, too, Henry.

We should talk.

We did.

Yes.

But once more.

Tell me when we're being honest, Dad,

and I'll be sure to switch over.

You didn't trust me.

You told me a lie last time.

There was no bribery at your firm.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God!

This is a farce, Dad.

You were wearing a wire.

If I told you a lie, there was a reason.

Talk to me like I'm your daughter, okay?

I am right here.

It's not what you think.

Why isn't it?

Okay.

Here we are.

I'm not doing this to save my skin.

- They're coming after you.
- For what?

The foundation.

Your signature on the transferred funds.

They were forged.

Honey, I don't think
they'll believe that.

You're saying you were
recording our conversations

and using them against my law firm

out of some clear concern for me?

Yes.

The Feds are threatening
to prosecute you.

- They're lying.
- No, they're not.

Oh, my God, then don't fucking use me

to clear your conscience, Dad.

You want to make a deal
for yourself, do it.

Don't do it for me.

They discovered the lie
on your lawyer's recording.

They found out the bribery was made up.

Why do I trust you, Dad?

Because in, um,

in ten minutes,

your partners will be subpoenaed.

Tomorrow they'll be dragged
in front of the grand jury.

Kresteva doesn't care
about a conviction.

All he wants is an indictment

to destroy your firm.

There are five essential French sauces.

If you are to learn French cuisine,

these are foundational.

Now, that is a beautiful
velouté, Adrian.

Ah, merci.

Everyone, come and look
at Adrian's work here.

This is what you want to imitate.

- Mr. Boseman.
- Oui.

You've been served.

I'm glad you called me.

I was thinking about
college just yesterday.

How we were gonna rule the world...

Which you basically did, didn't you?

Hi.

Hi. Are there any specials?

I don't know. I didn't see the board.

I'm not your waiter.

Barbara Kolstad, you've been served.

♪ Grab your towel and grab your shades ♪

♪ Girls can do anything ♪

Eight partners subpoenaed,
four associates.

He's got nothing on us.

- He has no case.
- He doesn't need one, Barbara.

He'll still drag us in
front of the grand jury,

scream "RICO."

He gets his indictment no matter what.

- I agree.
- You do?

Yes.

Grand juries always indict.

Unless it's a police brutality case.

And then there's the additional problem

that Kresteva no longer
believes our bribery story.

So what do we do?

Well, he doesn't want a conviction.

I like those earrings.

- Especially the shape.
- Thanks?

I wish I could wear earrings like that,

- but they make my face droopy.
- Elsbeth.

Right. Sorry. You're amazing.

Um, he wants to bankrupt you.

Right. I got a call
from the Paisley Group.

There was a federal
agent over there yesterday

asking questions about us.

He's trying to scare off our clients.

What?

- What?
- No, you. What?

- You were about to say something.
- No, I just...

I'm not sure if this helps, but...

Kresteva's boss, the
assistant attorney general,

was concerned that the
investigation was seeming...

racist.

How do you know that?

I... I just know.

That's a possibility.

What's a possibility?

Uh, well, I don't want to say it.

We're an African-American firm

being persecuted by a
majority white department?

You want us to turn
our answers toward race?

Yes.

The only way to prevent an indictment

is to close down the grand jury.

And the only way to
close down the grand jury

is to convince Wilbur Dincon,

the assistant attorney general,
it's not in his interest.

And the only way to convince
him it's not in his interest

is to turn our answers toward race.

Yep. We have an audience of one:

Wilbur Dincon.

Barbara, what do you think?

About using race?

Well, it is about race.

Adrian Boseman.

I'm an attorney with the firm
of Reddick, Boseman & Kolstad,

the largest African-American
firm in the Midwest.

Named by American Lawyer
as one of the top ten

black firms in the country.

You finished?

Yeah.

Mr. Boseman, how long have
you practiced law in Chicago?

35 years.

I was sworn in by
Mayor Harold Washington,

the city's first and,
so far, only black mayor.

I actually keep a photograph
of him in my pocket just to...

remind me of the
struggles of black people

who've come before and...

paved the way for me.

Okay, thank you.

Would you agree that suing
the Chicago Police Department

has been a major income
stream for your firm?

I agree that our firm,

as a majority-owned
African-American firm...

Ma'am, I didn't ask
about your racial makeup.

Yes, but you did ask me
to answer in my own words,

and these are my own words.

- Please, continue.
- Thank you.

As I said,

there's no mistaking that, as
an African-American owned firm...

"... Certain victims feel
more comfortable coming to us

"than to a majority Caucasian firm."

Question: "Again, this
is not about race, ma'am."

Answer: "You asked for context, sir,

"and the context involves the
racial makeup of our firm."

What the hell is going on?

You were supposed to
stay away from race.

We are. We're not the ones
taking it there, they are.

I don't care who is.

- It's looking like a persecution.
- It's a tactic.

Well, then, go around it.

You need to make it clear

that this is not about race.

... Vita voglio essere uno squalo.

Nella mia prossima vita
voglio essere uno squalo.

What's that?

- Italian.
- Why?

I always wanted to learn Italian.

You are an odd child.

You know what I'm saying?

"In my next life, I want
to come back as a shark."

Great. Makes sense to me.

Hi.

- Marissa Gold, right?
- No.

Nella mia prossima vita
voglio essere uno squalo.

_

So, he's pivoting?

Exactly. No more black lawyers.

- Now, he's going after you three.
- For what?

- I don't know.
- We'll find out soon enough.

We're scheduled for
the grand jury tomorrow.

And the good news, we have an audience.

Yep. Wilbur Dincon is paying attention.

So, how do we exploit that?

Well, let's think.

Let's...

So, we don't want a grand
jury to connect the dots.

What we want is a case that makes
sense... we won't get a conviction

- unless the facts hold up.
- Let's worry about this later.

Grand juries work off of emotion.

First, we need an indictment.

Well, we need an
indictment based on facts.

Uh, hello?

- Hi.
- Hi.

Do you need something?

Do you know how much I make
for every subpoena I deliver?

No idea,

but I'm sure you can talk to
the sheriff's office about this.

- $47.
- Great. Good to know.

And this has been a
really good 48 hours.

You've been served.

♪ Jimmy crack corn... ♪

Mike, how are you? You're back.

Hello, Miss Tascioni.

You have bitten off way
more than you can chew.

Really? I can chew a lot.

You're suing me in civil court?

Yes, for tortious interference
with contractual relations.

- I thought that was clever.
- You don't believe it?

I believe it the same way
you do your grand jury.

No court will allow you to sue me

at the same time that
you're being prosecuted.

Maybe you're right, Mike.

Hmm. Do you want a fig bar?

No.

Maybe you're right that no court

will allow my suit to go forward,

but you could've told
me that on the phone.

Instead, you came over here.

And you're welcome anytime.

I'll see you in court.

Both courts.

We'll see which one finishes first.

Putting something on top of the pile

is a great way to get me
to move it to the bottom.

I don't think Mr.
Boseman would like that.

- What is this?
- No idea.

It's something regarding
the Rindell Ponzi scheme.

Well, these are Fortune 500 names.

Not all of them, but some.

But look at these numbers here.

Nine digit numbers. What are they?

No idea. Social Security numbers?

No, I checked.

Okay.

My curiosity is whetted.

Me, too. I like mysteries.

Could you find out how this list
might come back to hurt this firm?

- Are we sure it will?
- Oh, yes.

Mr. Kresteva worked too hard to get it.

Okay. I'll take a look.

Thank you.

You're kidding?

No. I'm putting you in, kid.

Sir, please. It's not...

- I hate him.
- Oh, I see.

Are you under the mistaken impression

that you only defend people you like?

No, I'm under the mistaken impression

I don't defend anyone. I'm a prosecutor.

Yeah, well, when you get this tortious
interference nonsense dismissed,

you can go back to prosecuting.

Sir.

I have to...

apprise you of a conflict of interest.

And what's that?

I'm dating one of the lawyers
at the plaintiff's firm.

I see.

- That's not good.
- Yeah, I'm, uh,

not sure that I could be... objective.

I agree. Stop dating her.

Then you can be.

You're late for court.

Jesus Christ, where is everybody?

It's 10:00 a.m. Am I right?

You are right, Your Honor.
The plaintiffs are ready.

Good for you. Stop kissing my ass.

- Where's the defense?
- I'm here, Your Honor.

You're late. You had me waiting.

My apologies, Your Honor.
I was just assigned this case.

I don't give a shit. We start
at 10:00, you're here at 10:00.

What do we have today?
Tortious interference.

- Yes, Your Honor. This law firm...
- We ask for an immediate motion...

- ... to dismiss.
- Hey, hey, hey! Stop it.

You first, Mr. Late.

Uh, the defense moves to dismiss.

Mr. Kresteva is in the middle

of an active grand jury investigation.

Initiating these proceedings

is a cynical attempt
to interfere with that.

Vehemently disagree.

Adrian.

Good morning, Your Honor.

Mr. Kresteva's grand
jury investigation...

Objection, Your Honor.

Is he the lawyer or the plaintiff?

The plaintiff.

Well, then, he shouldn't
be arguing in court.

He should be called as a witness.

Oh. Then, I'd like to call

Mr. Adrian Boseman as a witness.

No, excuse me, no. No.

Uh... uh,

Your Honor, you never heard
on my motion to dismiss.

Yeah, but you just told
them to put him on the stand.

No, I-I said he shouldn't
be arguing in court.

The defense is using
this civil action...

"The plaintiff"? Is that
the word you're looking for?

Yes. The plaintiff...

is using this civil action
as a poor man's discovery.

They don't have access
to our grand jury room,

so they are using this court

as a way to find out...

uh, what's going on
in the grand jury room.

Is that what you were doing, Counselor?

No, Your Honor.

I wish I were that smart.

Good idea.

Okay, overruled, call your witness.

Elsbeth.

Make me your second chair.

Why?

Because it's a good idea.

Mr. Boseman, why are you suing
for tortious interference?

We're losing clients.

Three clients in the past two weeks.

And why is it important
that this case be heard now?

Because this grand jury is the
reason we're losing clients.

Mr. Kresteva doesn't want a conviction.

- He wants our bankruptcy.
- Objection. Speculation.

Uh, that's a proper
objection for a question,

not for a response.

If Mr. Morello has a rebuttal
witness, he should present him.

I would agree. Overruled.

Mr. Boseman, did any of your clients

explain why they were leaving?

Yes. The Paisley Group said

federal agents came to their workplace

questioning them about our work.

They didn't want the hassle.

And you think this was an intentional
move on Mr. Kresteva's part?

- Objection.
- Absolutely.

This time calls for speculation.

Look at you, making a proper objection.

Sustained.

Nothing further, Your Honor.

Your witness, Mr. Morello.

Thank you, Ms. Quinn.

These three clients you lost,

how important were they
to your bottom line?

Every client is important.

Hmm. That sounds like
not very important.

Objection. Lamely argumentative.

Yeah, no, it sounded
that way to me, too.

How much money a year do you lose

from losing these three clients?

I guess... $1.3 million.

But that's why we need to stop
this leakage now, Your Honor.

And didn't you just
sign Chumhum, a massive

social media empire worth
$86 million a year to you?

- Yes, we did.
- So...

$1.3 million

versus $86 million.

- Those two things are not connected.
- Whah-whah-whah-whah.

- Don't cry poverty in here!
- Oh, we're not crying poverty.

- Ms. Quinn clearly wants to avoid...
- We're just saying that the DOJ is...

- ... any oversight by officials...
- ... intentionally trying...

- and every time they have their hands
- ... to take something...

caught in the cookie jar...

No, no, no. Both of
you, back in your seats.

Decorum.

That's what I insist on.

My apologies, Your Honor.

May I ask a quick question?

You may, quietly.

Why is the defendant not here?

I see that the defense sent its lawyer,

but does the defendant
think so little of this court

that he only sends his lawyer?

I believe the plaintiff's
lawyer knows the reason.

The defendant is busy
running a grand jury room.

I see. So, Mr. Kresteva is
too busy for Judge Gallo?

Did you explain that I'm
conducting a grand jury?

I did. It's Judge Gallo. He
doesn't like being dissed.

Dear God. Okay, when?

This afternoon.

This is playing right into
their hands. You know that.

I sure do.

So, Ms. Gold,

what is your relationship
with Diane Lockhart?

She's my boss.

- Also, I consider her my mentor.
- Really?

What does she mentor you in?

Well, since coming to work
at an African-American firm,

I'd say it's becoming aware of
the nature of white privilege.

And you worked with Ms. Lockhart
at her previous firm, did you not?

I did, but that was definitely
not an African-American firm.

It was like the Trump White House there.

Ms. Gold, we're not asking

about the racial makeup of the firm.

Oh, sorry.

Touchy.

You were aware, were you not,

that Ms. Lockhart had frequent
meetings and phone calls

with Adrian Boseman prior
to going over to his firm?

Absolutely.

Mr. Boseman's firm was representing

a young, African-American man

who had been pretty severely beaten

by a white police officer...

Again, this is not about race, ma'am.

I agree, but you guys
keep asking me about race.

Isn't it true that Ms. Lockhart
slipped privileged information

to Mr. Boseman about this case?

You mean the case about
this African-American kid

being beaten up by the white cops?

I'm sorry, but you asked the question.

Hey, Diane. I think it went great.

Uh, yeah.

Okay, I'm on my way back. Mm-hmm.

- It's Andrew Hart.
- What does he have on us?

Why is Kresteva calling him to testify?

- Did you see him with anybody else?
- No, he was alone.

We need to find out what he said

to the grand jury about our firm.

How do we do that?

What did you say to the grand
jury about the plaintiff's firm?

Objection. Grand jury
proceedings are under seal

and cannot be made public,
no matter how clever

- Ms. Tascioni thinks she is.
- Sustained.

That's sweet,

complimenting me for being clever.

Thank you.

Nice to see you, Mr. Kresteva.

Oh, how's Deidre?

Oh, she's fine.

Uh, hello? Civil court.

- Taxpayers' money being spent.
- Yes, sorry.

Is it fair to say that...

in an effort to gain some
competitive advantage,

you sought to have
Adrian Boseman disbarred?

Is it fair? No, it's not fair.

I see. Uh-huh.

Well, is it fair to say
that you tried calling

Reddick/Boseman clients
to steal them away?

No, that's not fair, either.

- Not even a little bit?
- Objection, Your Honor.

This is a fishing expedition.

Yes?

It's...

what I said.

Ms. Tascioni, where is this going?

- I just have a few more questions.
- Uh-huh.

Did you ever meet with
Reddick/Boseman clients

in order to steal them
away? Is that fair?

I have not done anything illegal.

That's not my question.

Did you ever meet with
Reddick/Boseman clients

with the direct intent of stealing them?

I did what any business would do.

- Which client, Mr. Hart?
- Objection. Relevance?

They're just trying to establish
that the witness is feeding

negative info to the grand jury,

so he can steal their clients.

Exactly, Your Honor.

Ma'am, you're an acquired taste, and...

I don't think I've
acquired it yet, so...

shh.

Please answer the question.

I met for lunch with a Mr. Spiegel,

who owns a string of department stores.

Get to Spiegel.

Hart's trying to poach him.

- Are you in a pissy mood?
- No.

Then come by tonight.

I've been told to break up with you.

You've been told?

Really?

Then you'd better do it.

You're going to get fired.

Mm, I hate my job, anyway.

- Mr. Spiegel, how are you?
- Good.

I hope since you called me

I'm not getting billed for this.

Meter's off.

We're sitting down with some
of our clients this week.

We just want to make sure
we're not missing anything,

their needs are being met...

And no one's jumping ship?

There's a smear campaign
against our firm, Anthony.

I want to set the record straight.

You want to know who's
been whispering in my ear.

If I were to guess,

I'd say lately it's
coming from Andy Hart.

You'd be right.

Mind telling me what he said?

He warned me

that Reddick/Boseman was in
the path of a major storm.

And that I would be wise

to seek other representation.

Did he say anything about a grand jury

- having been impaneled?
- Objection.

Your Honor, I'm not
asking about the content

of the grand jury proceeding.

All I want to know is,
did Mr. Hart use the fact

that he testified before the grand jury

to steal Reddick/Boseman clients?

Objection as to stealing.

Can I get out one statement
without an objection?

Sure, just don't use loaded
words like "stealing."

Okay, which one of your
objections would you like me

to rule on first, Counselor?

The fir... uh, the second.

Overruled.

Would you like to hear
about the first one now?

Overruled.

Sir, did Mr. Hart mention his testimony?

- No.
- Thank you.

Because he hadn't testified yet.

Uh, when was it that
you met with Mr. Hart?

Two weeks ago.

And did he mention that a
grand jury would be impaneled?

As I recall, it was the
centerpiece of his presentation.

I would direct the court's attention

to the fact that this would've been

before anyone outside
of Mr. Kresteva's office

would have known about a grand jury.

Is Ms. Quinn questioning
a witness or testifying?

I'm just pointing out the obvious.

How are my favorite

litigation financiers?

Not good, Mr. Boseman.

We just got subpoenaed to
testify before the grand jury.

Oh, shit.

Litigation financiers.

What an interesting title.

- Where'd you guys go to law school?
- We didn't.

Then can you explain how
you've been directly involved

in over 75 civil cases?

We provide financing to law firms

that allows them to
cover operating costs

while undertaking
time-intensive legal battles.

Law firms like Reddick/Boseman.

How many of their cases
have you bankrolled?

- Twenty-one.
- No. 23.

Wha... how do you figure?

The appeal and the Christmas settlement.

- No, that's 21.
- No, 21 plus two is 23.

- It's 21 period.
- Okay, let's leave it at 21 or 23.

What does Reddick/Boseman give you

in return for this financing?

An agreed upon percentage
of the settlement amount.

Well, I assume Reddick/Boseman

pays you your percentage out of theirs.

Do you really assume that
or are you just trying

to make a point by saying you assume it?

Where does the percentage
come from, Mr. Warshofsky?

- It's 23, not 21.
- Okay, Jerry, j-just...

From the client's percentage
of money he never would've seen

if it weren't for the money we invested.

Thank you.

On February 20, just
before the settlement,

you gentlemen decided to
increase your stake in the case

by investing more money. Why was that?

Mr. Boseman was confident they'd
come in north of five million.

Did he tell you the
basis for this confidence?

He had a-a source on the other side

who told him they were ready to settle.

The other side at the
time being Diane Lockhart.

Did Mr. Boseman tell you what
the other side was nervous about?

They-they discovered a piece of evidence

that would hurt them
if they went to trial.

He told us that we're not
allowed to-to tell anyone

what they asked us in there.

Well, that's true, but you
can tell us what you said.

That's free speech.

- I...
- I don't like getting involved in this.

- Let's go.
- Wait, wait. One second.

Now, we have made a
lot of money together.

- Right?
- Right.

So, did you talk about one of our cases?

Was it one of the
police brutality cases?

Is it the one we're running now?

No.

I don't think we should answer any more.

I-I know, but...

Just one more question.

Is it a case that Diane
and I worked on together?

- Yeah, but not together.
- Fuck.

But hey, please, don't swear, okay?

- Ah! Okay. I-I-I got it.
- We...

It bugs out Jer. I'm sorry.

And thank you. Thank you for coming.

- Yeah. Yeah, good luck.
- Thank you.

Let me get that.

- Appreciate it.
- Yeah, yeah.

It's about the Toby Kendall case.

They're coming after me

for telling you about
the camera evidence.

You didn't tell me about
any camera evidence.

You told me to hire an associate

who, in turn, discovered evidence.

No, I didn't. I told you more.

- That's disbarrable.
- Diane.

Listen to me.

We all know we get close
to the line sometimes.

Now, we try to stay on
the right side of the law.

You want to be a good lawyer,

you need to get close to
that line and you know that.

This wasn't about being a good lawyer.

This was about getting a new job.

Not for you, for the Rindell kid, Diane.

Stop kicking yourself.

We are dealing with
people who are coming at us

for the smallest infraction.

So, how do we defend ourselves?

Mere puffery.

Seriously?

I haven't used it since
law school, but, hey.

I, I don't think I've ever used it.

- Mere puffery.
- Mm-hmm.

Does that even work?

Uh, we will find out if it works.

My guess is they call you next.

Damn it!

Yikes, who pissed you off?

Can we do the cute talk
another time please?

Maybe I can help. What's up?

A nine-digit number, some repeats,

all connected to top CEOs.

But none of them are from tax returns

or legal cases or employee numbers.

- Did you try Social Security numbers?
- Yes.

Maybe they're passwords.

That just happened
to all be nine digits?

Maybe they're part of some
secret society of rich assholes.

Oh...

What?

Just so I'm clear, I
never win at anything.

If it's a lottery ticket, none
of my numbers ever match up.

Okay.

I know this number.

Here, too, and here.

This is my W-2 from last year.

And, uh, here.

There, that number, what is that?

Federal Tax I.D. Number.

It's the same.

Who are you, Rain Man?

You should see me at
the blackjack tables.

Who's this W-2 from?

My last job, Lockhart, Deckler...

- Oh, shit.
- It's about Diane.

I did not slip Mr.
Boseman any information

about the Toby Kendall case.

- Hmm. You're sure?
- I am sure.

So Mr. Boseman lied

to these litigation financiers.

No. My guess, it was mere puffery.

Really?

Mere puffery is the
legally acceptable practice

of promoting through exaggeration.

Yeah, I know what it is, thank you.

Let's turn to the work that
you did for the Rindell Fund,

the recently exposed Ponzi scheme.

What is this, Ms. Lockhart?

I have no idea.

Isn't it a list of VIP
clients at the Rindell Fund?

It might be. I have no idea.

Aren't these the Rindell clients

the Fund went the extra mile for?

Backdating gains to avoid taxes?

Um, again, this is news to me.

Yes, but...

isn't that your firm's I.D. number?

There and there and there?

Isn't that how the Fund
billed your legal work?

Again, this is my first time seeing...

And isn't this why you arranged

for the Rindell daughter to...

get a job at your new work,

so they wouldn't
expose your culpability?

No.

Well, it's a good thing we have
Henry Rindell coming in tomorrow

to... clear this matter up.

I need to resign from this firm.

Oh, yeah?

- Why is that?
- Because I'm about to be indicted.

Are you... guilty of anything?

Other than being friends
with the wrong people?

No.

Then, do you think it
surprises me that...

someone inside this
firm is being targeted?

He has Henry Rindell in his pocket.

He is going to get an
indictment against me.

Assume he does.

I haven't been here that long, Adrian...

What does that matter, Diane?

I'm not running scared
from motherfuckers like him.

I got to fight him.
You got to fight him.

So, we might as well fight him together.

Bizarre that it's come to this.

Yeah.

- That's one word.
- Hmm.

So what do you need, babe?

You're testifying to
the grand jury tomorrow?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

You're testifying against Diane?

No, I'm telling the truth.

Oh. Your alternative truth?

Yeah, Diane did a lot of
legal work for the Fund.

Because she was your friend.

No, because we paid her.

Is that why you had
me get the Schtup list

from Uncle Jax's computer?

So that you could use it against Diane?

Make it look like she took a bribe?

No, so I would have some leverage.

You betrayed her for a lighter sentence?

You won't see any jail
time, Mom won't either.

And you?

I don't want to die in prison, Maia.

I want a chance to see you have kids.

I want to hold my grandkids.

What was the deal?

Ten years.

Don't testify against Diane.

What? I have to.

No. Dad, if they're offering ten years,

they must have a weak case.

It's for you, too.

You do this, Dad,

and if I ever have any kids,

you'll never see them.

I'll never let you see them.

I love you.

All rise.

Okay, let's wind this down.

What do we have today?

I just have one more
witness, Your Honor.

Promise?

I think so. Aren't you having fun?

We object to this witness, Your Honor.

Oh.

All alone again, are you, Counselor?

Yes, Mr. Kresteva thought
it best to stay away

given this next witness.

Now I am curious.

You know who this witness is?

Yes, the subpoena was
served this morning.

And I would like to
reiterate my objection

to permitting this man to testify.

Ms. Quinn, for all her
purported innocence,

seems hell-bent on compromising the
integrity of the judicial system.

Your Honor, I have done
nothing of the sort.

We're saying that that the DOJ...

My God, you people love
to hear yourselves talk.

Call your witness.

We call Henry Rindell.

- Thank you.
- Are you all right?

No, not really.

I wish I could tell
you it'll get easier.

I wish you could tell me that, too.

I imagine this is someone
who's going to be testifying

- in front of the grand jury later?
- It is, Your Honor.

And I imagine you're going to
promise not to ask questions

about what he'll testify to?

I'll go even further, Your Honor.

I have just one question
for this witness.

Any objections, Counselor?

Well, that depends on
the question, Your Honor.

Quite the suspenseful moment.

Please, proceed.

Mr. Rindell...

good morning.

Good morning.

What did Michael Kresteva
offer you in exchange

for your grand jury testimony?

What are you looking at him for?

I wasn't sure of the question.

Well, then, look at me.

What did Michael Kresteva
offer you in exchange

for your grand jury testimony?

He said he would recommend to the judge

a sentence of ten years
instead of life without parole.

No further questions.

I had no idea of the plea deal.

No, I did not authorize it.

Yes, Senator, I
understand you lost money.

I've got the Sun-Times on line one.

Tell them no comment.

And Mike Kresteva's here.

Have him come in and hold my calls.

Oh. Aah.

Yes. No.

So that's what that does.

Congratulations.

What for?

I was just relieved of my duties.

You're kidding.

I mean, I'm sorry.

Here you go. Little present for you.

Oh, and I didn't get you anything.

Yes, and let's keep it that way.

Well, I'm just happy it's over.

- That's funny.
- What is?

Oh, I just think it's funny
that you think this is over.

Here you go.

Ada.

I owe you a thank you.

- No, you don't.
- I do.

- You could have protected yourself...
- Please, don't mention it.

... and instead, you protected me.

You got me this job.

You deserved it.

Thank you.

Let's get a drink.

No. No, I...

I better get home and...

Sure. Yeah.

Let's get a drink.
