Happy now?

- Are you talking to me?
- If you didn't like Maia,

you could've just come
out and said that.

This isn't about disliking her.

We've all been told that there is
a zero-tolerance policy on drugs.

- Maia didn't use drugs.
- However,

she's been arrested twice,
but because she's white...

Oh, my God, this isn't about race.

In this case, it absolutely is.

You had it out for her ever
since she first got here.

- I don't think you understand...
- But if it was any one of us...

That is insane.

I would've been thrown out of here

because of a zero tolerance policy.

That's exactly what it is.

This isn't something that
is just gonna fade away.

The associates are angry.

Yes, and Marissa is stirring the pot,

downstairs, right now.

She's only stirring the
pot because she feels

that Maia was made a sacrificial lamb...

- Come on. Come on...
- to the fact that

the partners don't want to pay

for true financial parity here.

It's not that we don't want to...

- pay for financial parity.
- Well, then we need to...

- We don't have the resources, Diane.
- You think you handled this by firing Maia,

but you only broadened the argument.

Now, that I agree with.

There are a whole lot of hurt
feelings out there, Diane.

And now it's dividing,
along racial lines.

Hey, so should we talk about money?

How much would
true financial parity actually cost us?

What, you mean paying
all the first year the same,

- the second year the same, and third?
- Yup.

Well, haven't run the
numbers yet, but, uh,

- probably $800,000 more a year.
- You see, the problem there,

you raise the lowest to the highest,

the highest will still want
more because they're

bringing in more billable hours.

Well, maybe we should consider
it a human resources issue.

- What do you mean?
- Well, let's bring in an organizational psychologist

and send the associates
through sensitivity training.

Ah, do those work?

We can interview a few,
maybe find out if...

- Mr. Boseman?
- Yeah.

There's a call from
Judge Dunaway's clerk.

He wants to know why we're not in court.

Uh, I don't understand.
Why would we be in court?

He says there's a motion
in the Second Helix suit.

No. There's nothing till June.

He says one of our associates
is in court arguing it.

- Which associate?
- He didn't say.

Call the court.
Find out which associate.

Wait. Who else was on
the Second Helix case?

- Oh, my God.
- What?

The associate that was on it is Maia.

Well, she would never do that.

What? Snake us on a case?

Diane, she was very
angry, and she became

very friendly with that class.

Yeah, it's only our biggest
lawsuit... $30 million.

Let's not get paranoid.
Maia would never do that.

Call her.

She's not returning my calls.

It's Diane.

Hi. We just got here.

And it's very cold. You're welcome.

We have an emergency
regarding Second Helix.

We have been called into court

because one of our associates
requested a hearing.

What?

I thought Second Helix
wasn't until summer.

It wasn't. You were
supervising Maia on this?

I was.

- Why?
- Could she still be pursuing this?

I don't understand.
She's not with us anymore.

I know.

No, Diane, that's not Maia.

I didn't think so either, but
you haven't heard from her?

No.

Okay, we'll talk.

What was that about?

Maia.

Are they bringing her back?

No. They think she's
out to sabotage them.

Oh, Jesus. It's like Lord
of the Fliesout there.

Do you think we fucked up?

What do you mean?

I mean...

they sent us all the way out here,

and they gave us a week off.

They think we're rabble-rousers.

Law firms all over Chicago
are sending poll watchers out.

Yes, but Boseman could have
sent anyone, and he picked us?

- Are you the Democratic ones from Chicago?
- Yes. We're the volunteers

- from The Legal League...
- These are your badges.

Wear them at all times.

These are your Republican counterparts.

Okay, I'm gonna tell you
all once, and that's it.

You see a problem,

you bring it to me; I decide what to do.

There is no appeal in here.

The judge is always right.

No talking to voters or arguing politics

within 100 feet of the polling location.

I've drawn a line out on the walkway

where that 100 feet ends.

This is a special election,
so I know everybody's keyed up.

The last contest in this precinct was

decided by seven votes,
seven measly votes,

so I know you're both gonna be working

- to undercut each other's voters.
- Oh, no...

Uh, that's not why we're here.

Yeah, save it.

I'm here to make sure
that every vote counts:

every Republican vote,
every Democratic vote.

And I'm not gonna let
any Chicago lawyers

get in the way of that.
Polls open in 20 minutes.

Any questions? That was a joke.

I'm not here to answer questions.

Just do your jobs, and I'll do mine.

So now I can talk?

Are we supposed to hate each other?

Well, that's up to you.

But come to this side of the line first.

So let's talk about Black Lives Matter.

Oh, this'll be fun.

And look who finally decided to show up.

Three partners. Wow.

Jim, let's get their co-counsel in here.

Yes, sir. Your Honor, good morning.

We apologize for being late, Your Honor,

but we were unaware we had a motion

this morning or a co-counsel.

Again, Your Honor,

we're ready to go whenever you want,

but we, on the, uh, defense are
feeling a bit outnumbered here.

Everybody says that, uh,

corporate interests are the Goliaths,

but I think here, I'm the David.

Which you've mentioned
five times now, Mr. Andrews,

and we never grow tired of it.

Ah.

Uh, Reddick/Boseman,
here's your co-counsel now.

Did you find my bathroom, Mr. Blum?

I did, Your Honor. Thank you.

I hate using public restrooms.

Ah, so my co-counsels decided to show up.

How you all doing? Slept in?

Your Honor, this man
is not our co-counsel.

He does not represent our class.

Well, that would come as a
surprise to these 21 members

of the class who signed
retainer agreements with me.

Your Honor, we have been
working on this case

for two and a half years.

We have gathered together
a class of 45 individuals

who were denied health
insurance by the actions

- of the genetics company Second Helix.
- All true.

And Mr. Blum has insinuated himself

into this case at the very last minute.

How did he do that?

I think I can shed some
light on that, Your Honor.

Three weeks ago, I found Mr. Blum
searching through my desk,

and the next day, the contact
information to our class was missing.

I thought another
lawyer had borrowed it.

It wasn't until this moment

that I realize Mr. Blum took it.

Now, I would only hope that
when that slander proves false...

and false it will be proved...

Ms. Lockhart retracts
it with equal conviction.

Do you deny breaking into my office

and going through my desk drawers?

With every fiber of my being!

And if you saw me
going through your desk,

why didn't you stop me?

I'll tell you why. Because it's a lie.

Wait. I don't know
how Mr. Blum persuaded

21 members of plaintiff class
to sign with him, but... they have.

Accordingly, the court recognizes

Roland Blum as co-counsel
with Reddick/Boseman.

So, people who call
Consult a Lawyer want

real legal advice from a real lawyer.

And that's where you come in.

- So, what was your name again?
- Maia.

So, I don't know what your
last work was like, Maia,

but here, your main job is to get

as much information from
the client as possible.

All right? Here's your cubicle.

So, when a call is directed to you,

we have the client's credit card
info. They pay by the minute.

The longer the call, the
better your commission.

Oh. Yeah, that chair wobbles a bit.

I'll get you something
to put under there.

Your opening greeting
is posted on the screen.

Always follow it exactly.

- You understand?
- I do.

And you see that mirror?

Check yourself on every call.

If there's no smile on your face,

there's no smile in your voice.

People like to hear the smile.

Oh, and there's coffee.

Uh, but it's on the honor
system... 50 cents a cup.

Hi. I'm Sandra.

- Maia.
- I've been top earner for four months.

- Want to know my secret?
- Sure.

If it's a guy, tell him
he has a nice voice.

Then laugh at his jokes,
even if it's not funny.

This one guy redid his will
12 times just to hear my...

"Thank you for calling Consult a Lawyer.

This is Sandra."

- Sexy, right?
- Very.

- Are you being sarcastic?
- No. No, never.

Thank you for calling Consult a Lawyer.

This is Maia. Please tell
me a little about your issue,

and go slowly so I can take notes.

You act like we're all robots.

You arerobots. Trump
says Russia is good,

and all Republicans fall in lockstep.

And that's why you guys lose elections.

'Cause you look down on everyone.

Excuse me.

The midterms. You'd call that a loss?

Two Senate seats flipped Republican.

I'd hardly call that a win.

His T-shirt.

Let's challenge.

- It's electioneering.
- It's a T-shirt.

A T-shirt displaying a political message.
- Sir?

Sir, could you come over here, please?

That's not electioneering.

Is marijuana one of the candidates?

Referencing a Democratic
campaign slogan.

That wasn't a campaign slogan.

- It wasn't even from this election.
- Wait. Enough!

Give me a second here.
What's the problem?

Sir, you can't enter this
polling place to vote.

Come on!

You are welcome to return in
a content-neutral shirt later.

- I have to head to work.
- I'm sorry. Rules are rules.

You can come back later to
vote in a content-neutral shirt.

One vote could mean the
difference in this election.

What if he takes his shirt off?

Right. It's not electioneering
if he's not in his shirt.

- You want him to vote without a shirt?
- Why not? There's no law against it.

Yes, but it offends the
decorum of the inst...

Of what, this cafeteria?

Sir, if you prefer, you can vote now,

but you'll have to take off your shirt.

- But you don't have to.
- Excuse me. Let him decide for himself.

It's chilly in here.
That's all we're saying.

- No, it's not that cold.
- It's his decision. Stop talking.

- You're the one not letting him decide.
- Hold on. Hold on!

It's up to you, sir.

You can vote now if
you take off your shirt,

but you don't have to.

All right.

Great choice, sir.

I can go vote now?

- Yes, sir.
- Cool.

Congratulations.

Okay, that's offensive.

A swastika doesn't mean
a Republican voter, so...

All of you outside again. Go.

Are you sure, Joy?

Because we've been working on
your case for two years now.

Yeah, but faster isn't necessarily good.

It's this desk here.

I want locks on all of the drawers.

Listen, uh, Joy, this
is what I'm asking.

Just give us...

Joy?

Diane. Anything?

Yup.

21 of our class signed with Blum.

He's promising them results in 48 hours,

instead of the years that we have taken.

- He's on his way in here now.
- What?

- Here?
- Mm-hmm. Yeah, my guess?

He just wants the five
percent finder's fee,

and he'll just bow out.

The man hates to work.

Uh, Marissa,

do you know who Roland Blum is?

What's the matter?

You mean, besides the fact
my best friend was fired?

- You know I had nothing to do with that.
- I know she has

no money, and she's working
at Consult a Lawyer.

All right. I'm calling three top
firms who might be interested in her,

so she won't be stuck
there. Don't worry.

Now, can I ask for your help?

Roland Blum... he's coming
here in a few minutes.

I need you to stick with him
the entire time that he's here.

He has stolen from us before,
and he will try it again.

- Okay.
- Don't worry. We will take care of Marissa.

I'm Marissa.

Yes. We will take care of Maia.

- I'm sorry. I'm distracted.
- Yeah, what floor am I on?

- There he is. Watch him.
- This is where I'm going?

I hate this fucking place. Look at it.

We attack now.

Shoot 'em in the face
while they're still smiling.

- We're not ready.
- Yeah.

You haven't been ready
for two and a half years.

What are you waiting for?!

Evidence, witnesses.

We have a whistle-blower who's
the cornerstone of our case.

I guess you wouldn't know about that,

having stolen your way into this.

Oh, my God! Bullshit!

Bullshit! This is not
a fucking book report.

You're not entitled to, uh, extra credit

because you made a graph.

I say we go to court now, today!

You don't win a case in a day.

We're not trying to win this case.

We're trying to scare the
shit out of the other side

so they settle. Hi.

Hello.

- Am I boring you?
- No. Scintillating.

Their IPO is tomorrow.

Second Helix want $850 million

- on their initial public offering.
- We know that.

So, why the fuck are we in here
playing with ourselves?!

Hey, hey!

Give us a minute.

We'll discuss.

Guard?

If what you're threatening

is a Hundred Years' War,
Second Helix doesn't care.

You're in court in an hour

moving for an expedited hearing,

they'll be here in two hours
with a check in their hand.

You seem to hire the best.

So, what's your story, baby?

I'm a fourth-year
associate who came here

after spending ten years as
a Russian mail-order bride.

Ah, the humor of the American
Jewess in full flower.

So you think they're siding with me?

- Nope.
- I think you're right.

Go to the door, keep guard for me.

Yes, is that Jonathan
Habor of The Wall Street Journal?

My name is John Barron from
the investment firm of...

Barron & Mumson.

That's right, John Barron.

That's right. John Barron.

I understand that the Second
Helix IPO is in danger.

There's some sort of class action
lawsuit in the Chicago courts,

and I was wondering why
you are not covering it.

That accent is terrible.

You don't have to take
my word for it, old chap.

Have your reporter check the docket
for a Judge Peter Dunaway.

That's right.

Dunaway. Toodle-oo, have to run.

Okay, so that's 20 seconds

for him to call Second Helix
corporate, another 20 seconds

for them to call their lawyer.

Another 40 seconds
for them to call here,

starting... now.

How can you take anything
that that man says seriously?

Because he has a point, Liz.

Second Helix isvulnerable right now.

So are we, Adrian. We are not ready.

And even if we were, we'd
need a separate strategy

just to deal with Blum.

Jared Andrews is on the line.

Oh, great. He's calling to gloat.

Yeah, Jared. What's up?

Whoa, wait a minute.

I have nothing to do with The
Wall Street Journal, Jared.

What are you talking about?

Okay.

What did he say?

He's on his way in here with a check.

This is our final offer.

It's fair, it's just, and
we will never pay you more.

I don't even have to look at it
to know, by the end of the day,

you'll be paying us double.

Roland, just...

Oh, my God.

Are you in-fucking-sane?

That barely covers our catering cost.

- Take it or leave it.
- Here's a third option.

Bend over, so I can
shove it up your ass.

Okay. See you in court.

We're moving for an
immediate motion to dismiss.

After our expedited hearing.

You tell your Second Helix overlords

their IPO is fucked.

Oh, you overplayed your hand.

That was $3 million to end this.

We'll never pay another cent.

A-bullshit.

You'll be coming back here

on your hands and knees begging
us to take ten times that amount.

Okay.

Yeah.

It had to happen.

Three million was highway robbery.

I agree.

Ah!

That's what I wanted to see!

The killer elite!

Oh, let's take this asshole down! Yeah!

Just say you're
pro-abortion, not pro-choice.

Why do you have so much
trouble just saying it?

Because it's not true.

I want women to have the option.

Okay, in no other debate are euphemisms

so blithely accepted by the press.

Well, what about pro-life?
You have the same problem.

I'll take anti-abortion.

I'll wear that one proudly,
because that's what I am.

But you have to take
"pro-abortion," then.

I'm Lance McAlvoy, live-streaming

from the center of the action today.

And the Red Jackets
are here to make sure

there is no voter fraud.

The Red Jackets are here.

We are proud of America.

We refuse to apologize
for Western culture...

- Oh, shit.
- Call the firm. Right now.

"I am white."

What do we do now?

If this trait doesn't describe
you, take one step away.

- So, what does this do?
- It's a diversity game.

I take all of your associates,
and I have the African Americans

and the Caucasians stand back to back.

We come to understand our differences

and our similarities.

"I have more African American friends

than I do Caucasian friends."

"I have black hair."

Okay, I think we get the idea.

You wanted me to show you what
sensitivity training looks like,

so please.

What is that, a duel?

- We have nowhere else to go.
- And I think we get

- where we're going here.
- "I like singing."

If this trait does describe
you, take one step backwards.

"I like the singer Prince."

"I like the movie Roma."

"I like Hannah Gadsby."

- Mm. Yeah.
- Diane?

Lucca on the line for you.

Oh. Sorry.

Uh, we need some help here.

There are a lot of
Red Jackets gathering.

What, at the polling place?

Yes. We've had...

five cars of black voters drive off.

It's an attempt at voter suppression.

There goes another one.

This district got decided
by seven votes last election.

Well, we can't spare
anyone at the moment.

Uh, we've got an
emergency motion in court.

It would take someone two
hours to get there anyway.

Diane, this looks like a riot forming.

I'll see what I can do.

Hello.

Hi, it's me. I need your help.

I thought we weren't calling each other.

Not unless there's an emergency.

I have some poll watchers at the 14th.

There are about 50 Red Jackets who
showed up to intimidate voters.

Got it. Can they get me photos?

Can they... Why?

So I can dox them.

Molly Harper. I work at
home as a transcriptionist.

Can you tell us what
happened to your husband,

- Ms. Harper?
- Uh, Your Honor, this isn't a trial.

- We've made a motion to dismiss.
- Yes.

And we've moved for
an expedited hearing.

So sit the fuck down.

Your Honor, that is what
I've had to deal with.

To decide on either motion,
I have to hear on the subject

of the case, so please
continue, Ms. Harper.

And, Mr. Blum, shut up.

My husband Harlan
decided to try one of those

home genetics kits from Second Helix.

That would be... one of these?

Yes.

Harlan thought it would be fun.

He'd heard he had Irish
ancestry and wanted to find out.

And when the test results
came back, what did you learn?

Harlan had the gene for
atrial fibrillation...

a heart condition...

that he was at high risk for stroke.

Obviously, we were scared.

Got two little girls at home.

So we decided to get life insurance.

This way, if something
happened, we would have help.

- But the insurance company denied coverage?
- Yes.

They said that Harlan had
a preexisting condition.

Mm.

The gene for atrial fibrillation.

And they heard about
this from Second Helix?

Objection, Your Honor.

- Calls for speculation.
- Sustained.

Molly, what happened
to your husband after he was

- denied insurance?
- He had a stroke.

He died, and the bills kept piling up.

So you and 44 other
members of the class,

you want compensation from Second Helix

for sharing private
information that prevented you

- from protecting your family?
- Yes.

Thank you, Molly.

Just a few questions, Your Honor.

Leave it. The judge is with us.

Never leave any lily ungilded.

Hello, Molly.

Can I ask you a personal question?

What does Machu Picchu

mean to you?

Um...

Harlan and I went
there on our honeymoon.

We were planning on
going back, but he died.

Do you recognize this, Ms. Harper?

Oh, dear God.

I don't know.

You have a better idea, be my guest.

Hey there. Um...

I think I've got a story for you.

Hi, Rainbow Sweetshop?

I'm a concerned customer, and
I saw one of your employees

on a website called "Red
Jackets Intimidating Voters."

I'm very upset.

I will never come to your shop again.

What's going on with the whistle-blower?

He's on vacation in Japan.

We can't get ahold
of him until tomorrow.

Well, we can't wait until
tomorrow. We lose our advantage.

He was the cornerstone of our case.

I got someone.

- Who?
- Someone.

We need to wrap this up now.
The judge is on our side.

The IPO is tomorrow. Let's move.

I don't disagree, but who is it?

Arthur Garber.

I worked for Barnaby Life & Casualty
just shy of eight years.

And why'd you leave?

Crisis of conscience, I guess.

We were buying the results
of genetic testing from places

like Second Helix and using
them to charge higher premiums,

sometimes to deny coverage altogether.

- And did you speak up?
- Sure I did.

First they humored me,
then they ignored me,

then they let me know
I wasn't a team player.

Who are these men?

I wanted to be an insurance executive.

Nothing further.

Unfortunately, Karen,
the fact that you were

wearing high heels on the
ice at the time of your fall

means a jury might find you
contributed to your injury.

You used the term "stiletto,"

and you were walking
across a hockey rink.

Well, how many inches were they?

Impressive.

- I don't see you smiling.
- Okay, uh, Karen,

I will e-mail you over the paperwork,

but I would advise you to reconsider.

You're on the phone.

Why does it matter if you smile?

My super believes that smiles
can be felt over the phone.

What is this?

- The stuff you left in your office.
- I left it for a reason.

Even these?

God, I forgot about those.

Hey, bitchin'.

Who is this?

Why?

It's someone Roland
Blum put on the stand.

And that's my problem why?

It's your Second Helix case.

It is not my case anymore. I was fired.

Here.

- What's this?
- Something from Diane.

Three interviews at top firms.

She'd give it to you herself,
but there's a crisis at work today.

I'm fine.

You're not fine, Maia. Look around.

This is what "not fine" looks like.

Diane doesn't care about me.

Next time, clear your
friends ahead of time.

Will do.

Look, you're gonna get me
fired from the last place

that will hire a Rindell, okay?

Who is this?

It's Arthur Garber, Blum's dietician.

- You're kidding.
- No. He has a fluid sense of job descriptions.

Why? What was he supposed
to be on the stand?

A life insurance whistle-blower.

- Oh, my God.
- Call these numbers.

These are top firms. Seriously, Maia.

This place is depressing me.

If you don't call them, I will.

Right, yeah. Got it, Diane.

Amazing. Thanks.

This is like a telethon.

Who are you calling now?

The police.

I thought they weren't breaking the law.

Yeah, they weren't. But two of them
are registered sex offenders

who are currently within
500 feet of a school.

Hi, could I speak to
a detective, please?

Hello, yeah. This is Lucca Quinn.

I'd like to report two
registered sex offenders

in the parking lot of Phyllis
Wheatley Elementary School.

Yup, I can hold.

Uh, yes, I'm here.

He doesn't work at Barnaby Insurance.

He's Blum's dietician.

Oh, dear God.

How do we know this?

Maia. She was with him for five days.

You don't think she's lying?

Are you kidding me? Don't
believe her if you want,

but stop asking me to investigate, then.

So what do we do now?

We do nothing.

It's the defense's case.

My God, you're starting
to sound like Blum.

Shouldn't we be telling the judge?

Yes?

No, I was just... just thinking.

Uh, Fiona Novak, founder
and CEO of Second Helix.

I guess that means I'm the bad guy here.

Oh, no.

But thank you for coming
in on such short notice.

We know you're busy.

Now, this is the, uh, standard,
uh, contract for Second Helix.

When people send you
a DNA sample to test,

they agree to the terms
of this agreement?

Yes, that is correct.

Uh, would you read the, uh,

highlighted section there, please?

"I agree to share the genetic
information contained herein

with Second Helix, its
associates and affiliates."

- Can I see a copy of that?
- Of course.

So, uh, when your customers
sign up with Second Helix,

they are informed that
their genetic information

will be shared and used because
that is part of the mission

- of your company?
- Absolutely.

O-Our customers know
that we are committed

to serious medical research.

We've already got a
promising new drug for ALS.

Your Honor, in light of Ms.
Novak's testimony, the defense

- moves to dismiss the case.
- Your Honor, uh,

we'd like to recall Arthur
Garber as a rebuttal witness.

Uh, just...

You're not putting him on the stand.

Well, we can rebut her testimony.

He's your fucking dietician,

and you're not putting him on the stand.

Your Honor, I've just been informed

- Mr. Garber is, uh, unavailable.
- Okay.

I'm ready to rule. On
the motion to dismiss,

I am inclined to agree
with Mr. Andrews...

Your Honor, can I interrupt here?

Oh, Y-Your Honor, I-I
didn't recognize you.

- I-Is there something you need?
- Yes.

My apologies. I should've
come directly to you.

But unfortunately, I need
Adrian Boseman in my court.

Only for a few hours.
It's an emergency hearing.

I understand. Well, um,

we could reconvene back here
at 4:00 in the afternoon.

Would that be enough time, Your Honor?

- I believe it will.
- Good.

Then I will rule in three hours.

Thanks for the reprieve.

That wasn't for you.

So what do you think?

I think she's too much
money and it's stupid.

Mm. But other than that?

Well, I mean, loo...
her-her point seems to be

that if we all realized
how much we had in common,

there'd be no more racism.

That's not my experience.

What is your experience?

That human nature cannot be
solved by a sensitivity game.

Okay, so I say we offer midyear
bonuses to all the associates.

Call it a onetime windfall.

They'll know we're buying them off.

- Yeah, and we are.
- Yeah.

Oh, we're gonna have to
convince the partners.

It's gonna be a lot of money.

$10,000 bonuses over three years.

So, Prince, huh?

Yeah. Did that surprise you?

Eh, well, you know, I just

thought you were more the, uh,
Renée Fleming type, you know?

♪ She wore a raspberry beret ♪

♪ Kind you find in a secondhand store ♪

♪ Seems that I was busy doing
something close to nothing ♪

♪ But different than the day before ♪

♪ That's when I saw
her, ooh, I saw her ♪

♪ She walked in through the out door ♪

♪ Out door ♪

♪ She wore a raspberry beret ♪

♪ The kind you find
in a secondhand store ♪

♪ Raspberry beret ♪

♪ And if it was warm, she
wouldn't wear much... ♪

When I say so.

You really enjoy being a judge, huh?

Best thing in the world.

A few weeks ago, I got
pulled over by a cop.

He said my windows were too dark.

I let him play his little power game.

"Get out of the car, ma'am.
Stand by the curb, ma'am."

I was polite.

I got his name and his badge number.

I said, "Have a nice day, sir."

Then I drove to court,
called his supervisor,

and had them both come in
for a judicial examination.

Boom.

He didn't recognize me
at first, until I said,

"Have a nice day, sir."

Then his face.

Ooh, you should've seen it.

He saw his whole world turn upside down.

He had a rush of shit to the brain.

And that's when I realized,

every single bad moment in law school,

it was worth it.

You are so sexy.

Hmm.

So how long have you and
Blum been working together?

About five hours.

How you liking it?

Oh, God.

Yeah, you two are a lot alike.

- Oh, no, we are not.
- Oh, yes, you are.

You're like characters
out of Shakespeare.

The half showmen, the half con men.

I'm not a con man.

How do you know Blum, anyhow?

New York. Everybody knew him.

He did... favors for people.

Did he for you?

Your head is like a sculpture.

I want to cut it off
and put it on my desk.

What favors did he do for you?

You have an opening with
your judge, you know.

With Dunaway?

What do you mean?

He was supposed to be
on a four-month patent case,

but they settled.

He's looking for a cause.

You can use that.

Thanks for coming in.

Uh, sorry, what's your name again?

Maia Ri... Henson.

You are lucky to have
Diane Lockhart in your corner.

Uh, how are you with labor law?

I've worked on several cases.
I know the latest statutes.

Ah, good. You're exactly
what we're looking for.

Oh. Well, that is great news.

Yes. Do you think you
can start in November?

Oh, I thought this was for now.

No, it's a long-running class action.

We expect to be depo-dumped
at the end of the year.

So, six months from now?

Yes. Maybe seven.

Oh, I'm sorry. I-I need something now.

I completely get it. Uh, stay in touch

if you're still available in November.

Did Diane know about the
late start date on this?

I don't know. I think so.

Thank you.

Don't you have a life?

You're my life.

Ah, good of you to show up.

So we're heading to court

- in one hour.
- Yeah. I've just been told

that Judge Dunaway may be
open to a pivot on the case.

- Told by who?
- "Whom."

- Somebody in the know.
- Okay, so what's the pivot?

I don't know. We have an hour.

We just need a lifeline.

Well, we're not gonna
win with a lifeline.

It's not about winning.

It's about scaring the
other side shitless.

Okay.

Thank you.

Okay, so we have
a sympathetic client, you know?

Judge liked her, started to cry.

So we stick with her and the class.

So does that mean the pivot
is in the law or the facts?

We still don't have the, uh,

- whistle-blower connection?
- Uh-uh.

The law.

Okay. So do we attack
contract of adhesion?

Maybe. It was an online contract.

Wait a second.

What did that, uh, CEO say?

Oh, some pious shit about...

- Oh.
- Yeah. Yeah.

- Wait, right. Uh...
- Yeah.

Advances.

- In pharmaceuticals.
- What did she say?

- Uh, a promising new drug...
- For ALS.

Ay! Motherfucking ALS!

The mother lode!

- Hell yeah!
- It's scary watching you two.

We are brothers now, you and I.

We have spilled intellectual
blood together here today.

Oh, now to court.

Men shall quake to see us approach.

Quake.

At the end of the day,

all people are not created equal.

That extends to the vote.

So, you don't believe every
American citizen has a right to vote?

I believe women vote based on emotion.

Muslims vote for sharia law.

Blacks are out for blood.

They want revenge for
perceived sins of the past.

So everyone's got an agenda.

Wouldn't you say you have an agenda?

My only agenda is protecting
American culture.

- I can't watch.
- So she's your girlfriend?

Uh, she's someone who I am with.

Oh, my God. It's like
you're being deposed.

How long has this been going on?

Let's not make a big deal of it.

One month.

How could she not
vomit interviewing him?

She's a reporter.

Objectivity is the whole point.

Yeah, well, some people you
shouldn't be objective about.

Mm-hmm.

Uh-oh. Here we go.

Rounding up the sex offenders.

So, thank you, everyone, for returning.

Prompt as always.

- I am ready to rule on the motion to dismiss.
- Your Honor.

Plaintiffs would like to amend our suit.

- You're kidding.
- The Illinois Code of Civil Procedure

allows plaintiffs to amend at any time
before final judgment.

Only on just and reasonable terms.

This is neither just nor reasonable.

We only today learned a new
key piece of information.

Information that the defense disclosed

in sworn testimony to this court.

What new information?

The CEO of Second Helix stated

plaintiffs' data is being
used, and has been used,

to develop... blockbuster drugs.

- So what?
- So we're owed a share in the profits.

Wha...?

I'm not an anarchist. I'm an agitator.

If this place is still
standing in 100 years,

I think history will prove that.

Thank you for your time, Lance.

Let's shut this down.

Good talking to you.

No, thank you.

Do you mind?

"Black people are out for blood"?

- What?
- You said, "Black people are out for blood."

You got 50 people out
in that parking lot

scaring the hell out of the neighbors,
and we're out for blood?

If it helps any, given
your racial profile and...

community...

probably can't help yourself.

You okay?

I'm gonna help you up.

It's too bad you fell down like
that and hit your head on the sink.

These floors can be slippery.

Hey, we're good here if
you want to head back.

You sure?

Yeah.

Thanks.

I know what you fucking did.

- I know what this bitch did!
- Hey!

- She doxed me! This bitch doxed me!
- What are you talking about?

My boss just fired me 'cause
someone sent my photo to him!

- Yeah, me, too!
- They canceled my credit card!

Hey, everybody just take
a breath here, all right?

She didn't do it, you moron.

I did.

- You're asking for trouble, lady.
- Did she call someone a moron?

She didn't do it. I did.

What'd she say?

No, I did!

I did it, over here.

Brothers! Take them all down!

No!

Is it all right to
hit a Nazi unprovoked?

I was always taught to
never throw the first punch.

Never instigate.
Defend, but don't attack.

But then I saw a video of the white
nationalist Richard Spencer

being punched in the face

during an interview, and I realized

Spencer was in a pressed suit,

wearing a tie, being interviewed
like his opinion mattered,

like he should be considered
part of the conversation,

like Neo-Nazism was just
one political point of view.

And then I realized

there's no better way to
show some speech is not equal.

Some speech requires a
more visceral response.

It's like Overton's window.

That's the term for which ideas
are tolerated in public discourse.

Well, Overton's window doesn't mean shit

unless it comes with some enforcement.

So, yeah, this is enforcement.

It's time to punch a few Nazis.

Ms. Novak, can you see
the screen all right?

Clear as day.

Great. Can you read
the language displayed there?

Do you, do you recognize that?

Looks like the contract I read before.

It is. But when Mr.
Andrews had you read it,

he gave you a paper copy.

Objection, Your Honor.
Where's this going?

Patience, Mr. Andrews.
Let's find out together.

Ms. Novak, you read
from a paper copy of the agreement,

but that's not actually the agreement

that your clients receive, is it?

Uh, how do you mean?

You don't send them
a paper copy of this agreement.

They actually sign up online.

Yes.

So, and this agreement
that we're reading from

is actually found

under a tab on your website.

We went looking for it.

It's actually remarkably
difficult to find.

Counsel's testifying, Your Honor.

- Sustained.
- Let me rephrase.

Ms. Novak, isn't it true
that when clients sign up

to have their DNA
sequenced by Second Helix,

all they really see... is that?

- What am I looking at?
- Contract of adhesion.

Ms. Novak's told us
the reason her customers

sign away their genetic information

is because they care
about scientific progress,

but this shows they don't know
what they're signing up for.

When they create an account,

this box is already checked, Your Honor.

It signs them up automatically
for whatever Second Helix decides.

Is this true?

Well,
that was something.

Yeah, well, I could comment
on the violent times we live in.

Or we could drink.

Hmm. Thanks, George.

I'm Naomi, by the way.

I'm sorry. I thought you
two knew each other.

Uh, no. But we have cracked
the heads of several Neo-Nazis,

so we are sisters for life.

So, are you the coworker
that Jay had a crush on?

- What?
- I don't have a crush.

Was I not supposed to say anything?

- Who did you have a crush on, Jay?
- No one.

I don't know who she's talking about.

- Who did he say?
- Okay, I guess I stumbled

into a sensitive area,
so I'm gonna just drop it.

- But I am jealous.
- Okay.

- Probably time to go home.
- Really? Why?

I was just starting to
enjoy the country and...

Oh, finally. Maia.

Maia? Hel...

Maia, can you...

Damn it.

Maia?

Hello?

Maia, can you hear me?

Maia?

Lucca's away from her phone right now.

Leave a message.

You'll get used to it.

I did.

Thought I'd be here two months.

Been here two years.

It's not bad.

Okay? Everybody ready?

This... oh!

is our best and final.

This check has one string attached.

Oh, you're in no position
to have strings attached.

- What is it?
- The, uh, five of you

are now under contract
with, uh, Second Helix

to help defend us.

Are you kidding?

There are seven class actions

like yours in the works.

We don't want you
sharing your work product

with them, so we're tying you up.

We will pay you an additional

$4 million for the next year's work.

That's $4 million you don't have
to share with your clients...

We really got you guys scared, huh?

No.

We just want you inside the tent,

pissing out, that's all.

You'll pay us $4 million
to do what, exactly?

Review the other class actions,

um, advise us how much to pay them

and to keep your collective mouths shut.

I-I-I just need an
agreement on the terms

before I'll show you the check.

Look, we have no
problem working with you.

But just us, not him.

No.

We don't want Roland Blum
running off making mischief.

It's all of you or none of you.

That's the string.

You say no right now,
we'll see you back in court.

Oh, way to make me feel unwanted.

I thought we had something special.

All right, we agree.

Let's see the check.

Hmm.

Are you sure?

I'm-I'm free tomorrow for an interview.

Yes, that's right. Uh,
Diane Lockhart set this up.

Sure. Uh, yes.

You-you want to meet in four weeks?

That sounds great. Thank you.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm sorry for not
getting in touch earlier.

I've been trying to call.

It was a really weird day.
Jay and I were poll-watching

out in the middle of
nowhere, and there was a riot.

A real riot.

And I miss you, and I...

I want to know what's going
on, so I thought we could maybe

go grab dinner.

Francesca could watch
Joseph for a few more hours.

That's okay, Lucca.

All right, so let's get dinner.

I'll pay.

Come on, I-I feel awkward about
how things went down at work.

You don't have to feel awkward.

I know, but I-I do.

Lucca, everything's fine.

We were work friends.
