Hey, welcome back, wanderer.

Wow.

What happened here?

Welcome to the new and improved
Reddick, Boseman & Lockhart...

a division of STR Laurie.

STR Laurie.

How are our new overlords?

Well, the new stationery
is nice... very thick...

but they ration it for the environment.

Whoa.

MARISSA: Oh, right, that's new, too.

I think it's a sunset?

- (CHUCKLES)
- JAY: Diane. Welcome back.

- Thanks, Jay.
- I'm giving her the tour.

What's it like up there?

JAY: Never been.

It's off-limits to mere mortals.

They're worried they'll
be tainted by us.

(DOGS BARKING)

But it's not off-limits to dogs?

Yeah, Monday and Wednesday are pet days.

The name partners can bring their dogs.

(LAUGHS) Oh, my God... a bat?

JAY: Yeah, a gargoyle.

Upstairs wanted something more dramatic.

Oh, Adrian must love that.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Okay, thank you.

Before we start, I'd like to

officially welcome back

our very own Diane Lockhart.

Thank you, Adrian.

Thank you, everyone. I must say

it's been very odd
being away from you all.

- I can't wait to get back into it.
- BARRY: Did you enjoy traveling

- the world on your name partner bonus?
- ADRIAN: Barry,

- let's not go there.
- MADELINE: It's the only place to go.

- (ALL GRUMBLING)
- ADRIAN: All right, okay.

We lost Chumhum, remember?

We needed a lifeboat,

and now we're part of the
seventh-largest law firm in the world.

BARRY: And we were promised to
be made whole within six months.

- And that will come.
- (ALL GRUMBLING)

MADELINE: I'm making half of what I was

as a Reddick/Boseman partner.

Uh, what is that?

ADRIAN: Your portion.

Of?

The acquisition of our firm.

Oh, my God.

- Yeah.
- LIZ: Yeah.

So we're happy, but
the equity partners aren't?

The equity partners were expecting more.

LIZ: And they'll get more.

That's the thinking. It's
just gonna take some time.

Okay, so how do we make this

more acceptable to the other partners?

Hey, hey, hey, get the fuck out of here!

Hey, hey, come on.

LIZ: Ooh, you're being summoned.

Is that a bad thing?

ADRIAN: If it's Mr. Laurie, no.

If it's Mr. Firth... maybe.

Ms. Lockhart, you mind following me?

I don't.

♪♪

Would you like some water, coffee?

Uh, no, thank you.

Uh, will I be meeting with Mr. Laurie?

No, Mr. Laurie's in London.

But Mr. Firth would like to talk.

So, nine months?

Yes, doctor's orders.

You must have gone stir-crazy.

Well, that included some
travel, but not too much.

My husband's a bit of a homebody.

Homebody.

So what do you want to do now, Diane?

Get back to work.

What work?

My clients.

My old cases.

My partners picked up the
slack while I was recovering,

but now I'm back.

Ever heard of Ryokan, the Zen master?

No.

He lived a simple life in
a hut at the foot of a hill.

One evening a thief broke in,

only to discover there
was nothing to steal.

So Ryokan surrendered his clothes to him

as a gift.

After the thief ran away,

Ryokan was left sitting naked,

watching the moon.

And he thought...

"Poor fellow.

I wish I could give him

this beautiful moon".

I-I don't think I understand.

I've followed your career, Diane.

You're exceptional in court,
you do what is required,

you're a good organizer,

but do you know when
you really come to life?

When you have a cause.

A Goliath to face.

That's what I'm here to give you.

This is your moon.

- And, uh, what is that?
- Yours.

You are now in charge of
our pro bono department.

All 22 lawyers.

And these 40 cases.

Why?

We want you to be happy.

Doing good in the world is the best way

to do good for STR Laurie.

So, do good.

I'll need investigator time.

And partner billable hours.

Whatever you need, you take.

No more corporate cases.

You make our firm a good citizen

no matter what it costs.

Welcome back, Diane

- Thank you, Lucca.
- What's it like up there?

Clean.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

Do you know what my job is, Lucca?

My guess would be you're a lawyer.

(CHUCKLES)

I am the sorting hat of lawyers.

Do you know what that means?

- Yeah. Is it a Harry Potter thing?
- It is.

- Have you read Harry Potter?
- No.

I know I'm the only person

in the world who hasn't.

Why haven't you read it?

I don't like... wizard shit.

Yes, fuck wizard shit.

(LAUGHS)

I like you, Lucca.

- I like being liked.
- (LAUGHS)

Good. So, here's what I need from you.

We have a divorce up here
that's proving problematic.

One of our most important clients.

And I think there is a personality clash

with our divorce lawyer.

I want you to work with him,

smooth out the... sharper edges,

if that makes sense.

- I think it does.
- Good.

Do you know who Bianca Skye is?

- Yeah.
- She's actually a very lovely woman,

so please ignore all
of the gossip profiles.

Ah. Lucca, here we go.

I'd like you to meet your new partner,

David Lee.

Lucca Quinn.

(CHUCKLES)

Still wear your hair like a boy, I see.

You two know each other?

Oh, we're old friends.

Right, Lucca?

Yeah.

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- (MUSIC PLAYING)

So, yesterday you guys
wouldn't even answer my calls.

Now I have six lawyers?

- What happened?
- I've taken an interest

in your case, Ms. Tecades.

That's all it took?

Yes.

So this is a case of eminent domain.

And the hearing tomorrow

is merely to win a
temporary restraining order

against the builders who want
to bulldoze your restaurant.

Good. And what do you want me to do?

I saw a food truck outside.

Can you swing it by federal
court tomorrow at 11:00

and, uh, start cooking?

Cooking? Why?

Well, justice may be blind,

but it still has its other senses.

You're not the lawyer I expected.

I've changed.

So, our numbers seem to be growing here.

The firm thought you
would be more comfortable

with someone closer to your age.

I didn't know this firm
had any black lawyers.

- Oh, they hide us.
- (LAUGHS)

(SHORT LAUGH)

Why don't you tell Lucca about your ex?

Sure.

So Brad is trying to void our prenup.

Back when we got married
and I was broke,

he was the one who insisted on a prenup,

and now it's the reverse
and he wants to void it.

So what do you think?

- What do I...
- Yeah.

I think you should tell him to fuck off.

(LAUGHS) Can I do that?

- Sure.
- Well, actually, there are some issues...

There's no pretense here
to duress or coercion.

He's the one who asked for the prenup.

And now he's complaining 'cause
he's stuck in his own shitty prenup?

DAVID: Why don't we hold off

on hardening our position

until we see how depositions go?

(MOUTHING)

Bianca, would you mind

taking Lucca through
your other issues again?

Sure.

So... I met Brad when I was 21.

(CHUCKLES) Very stupid.

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

Sorry we never got to
the deposition prep.

We'll do that tomorrow.

Bye.

You're running the
meter on her, aren't you?

Oh, good, the angry black
woman has made an appearance.

No, I didn't need to hear her issues.

We just billed that woman for
an hour of complete bullshit.

Lucca, I've been practicing
law since before you knew

how to go potty by yourself,

so maybe for once you
should watch and learn.

Tucker Nugent.

I am CEO of Rare Orchard,

a top Fortune 500 real estate developer.

Mr. Nugent, this is the...

Um, strike that.

- Do you recognize this photo?
- No.

It is the neighborhood where
Marta's restaurant is located.

The restaurant you are attempting

to tear down through eminent domain.

Would you say that that
neighborhood is blighted?

Objection. This is beyond
the witness's expertise.

- BARRY: Sustained.
- What? Why?

Because... I'm the judge.

Diane, you wanted a mock court

to get your mojo back, so get it back.

When a judge is unfair, get angry.

(DOGS BARKING)

BARRY: Let's go, Counselor.

Um, these are online reviews

of Marta's restaurant.

All of them written
within the last six months.

All of them negative.

Could you read that one right there?

"The food is putrid,
the location dangerous...

and the service is all black people".

DIANE: Would you call
that a negative review?

I'd call that an offensive review.

And yet did you know that that review

and 30 more just like it

all came from your office IP address?

Is that true?

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

I think you got your mojo back.

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

And do you know who I've been
randomly assigned as judge?

- LIZ: Who?
- Julius.

(ALL LAUGHING)

Good morning, everyone.

Please be seated.

The court is being asked to issue

- a temporary restraining order...
- Your Honor.

I'd like to introduce myself.
I'm Louis Canning.

JULIUS: Yes. Hello, Mr. Canning.

I just wanted to explain some of these

awkward movements you may see...

- (CHUCKLES)
- I'm sorry, I didn't know my condition

was a source of amusement
to you, Mrs. Lockhart.

The only amusement is how
you use it, Mr. Canning.

My goodness. Hate comes in many forms.

- (BANGING GAVEL)
- Oh, Your Honor...

Enough. I know who you are, Mr. Canning.

- We were on the opposite sides of many cases.
- That's why I ask you,

Your Honor, to recuse yourself.

- That and your relationship with Mrs. Lockhart...
- Look,

if every judge who had a
prior career recused himself,

there'd be no judges left. (CHUCKLES)

- Recusal denied.
- I will appeal.

JULIUS: I think you should.

- When are they starting up?
- Now.

JULIUS: The Court is being
asked to issue a temporary...

DIANE: Your Honor, my client's

Mexican restaurant, which
serves up authentic

homemade food with
a contemporary edge...

great moles, chorizo tacos...

- is in danger of being bulldozed...
- Excuse me, Your Honor,

uh, could we ask that
the windows be closed?

- Why?
- Because my health

is negatively impacted by the cold air,

Your Honor. Doctor's orders.

(CLEARS THROAT) Marshal.

Can we move on to our witnesses?

(CLEARS THROAT) Yes, we call the CEO

of Rare Orchard Developers to the stand:

Mr. Tucker Nugent.

JULIUS: Mr. Nugent?

Tucker Nugent?

Hello?

Mr. Canning, where's your client?

- Uh, he's not here, Your Honor. I don't know.
- Where is he?

- Your Honor, we are ready.
- He's been subpoenaed, sir.

- That's true. We understand.
- Then he must appear.

You understand, and yet he's not here.

- That is true.
- Was there a family emergency

that he had to attend to?

- Not that I'm aware of.
- I'm-I'm confused,

Mr. Canning. On what
basis does your client

justify noncompliance
with a judicial subpoena?

My guess: he doesn't
recognize its legitimacy.

Mr. Canning? Did you
explain to your client

that this is a federal court?

I am a federal judge?

And that the issuance
of a subpoena by me is,

in fact, legitimate?

I told him that would most
likely be your position.

It's not a position,

Counselor. It's a fact.

My client believes there's
ample authority

for maintaining a contrary position.

- Contrary posit... Are you insane?
- No, sir.

- Your Honor.
- Pardon me, Y-Your Honor.

Where is he? Physically,
where is he right now?

Uh, he hasn't provided
me with his whereabouts.

But he did say that he'd be
in direct contact with you,

- and in writing.
- Well, have we received

any communication from Mr. Nugent?

Uh, yes, Your Honor.

Oh. Please. Read it.

"Regarding: subpoena duces tecum

related to eminent domain proceedings.

To Judge Cain, with all due respect,

go fuck yourself".

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

♪♪

♪♪

♪♪

Just so I'm clear,

your client has now provided

documentary evidence for
his contempt of this court.

- Is that right?
- I'll stipulate that he's provided something.

But, uh, Your Honor, I take issue

with the Court's characterization.

He told me to go fuck myself!

I believe he was taking exception

to overreaching judicial authority

rather than stating a...

personal directive.

Your Honor, the ability
of the judicial system...

Counselor, I need you to be quiet.

The Court hereby issues a rule
to show cause why Mr. Nugent

should not be held in contempt

of this Court for his failure to appear.

Uh, gentlemen.

Mr. Canning will provide you
with his client's address.

And I want you to go
and bring him here today.

By force, if necessary. You understand?

- Yes, Your Honor.
- Good.

We will convene back here in one hour.

I deal with witness prep.
You just offer comfort.

That's not what upstairs
said. We work together.

(CHUCKLES) This PC
shit is so aggravating.

You know, the more you guys push it,

the more the backlash will
make your lives harder.

And when you say "you guys",

who are we talking about here?

- (CHUCKLES) God.
- African Americans?

Humans? Or anybody that
doesn't think like you?

- Hello.
- Hi.

Hey. So sorry. I have
to run a few errands.

Can we do the depo prep on the run?

- Sure.
- Definitely.

Where are these errands?

Just a few hours away.

I do my best work on
the plane. Let's go.

So we're gonna go on that?

Just for a few hours.

PILOT: Ms. Skye, We've
just reached 30,00 feet,

so you're all good to
move about the cabin.

Thank you, Lewis. Not
much of a flyer, Mr. Lee?

Oh, I'm j-I'm just
used to bigger planes.

I know, it's crazy, right,
to think we're in this

small metal tube, way up in the sky,

with literally nothing holding us up?

Try one of my CBD
cocktails. It'll relax you.

Thank you.

So, you have a baby.

I do. How did you know that?

I may have looked you up.

Oh, no, that's an old app.

Haven't used that in... two months.

Well, we have the time right now.

land. Let's find you a man.

What do you think of

Where are we going?

- St. Lucia.
- And where's that?

Hmm? Eastern Caribbean.

Why is he not here?

He was busy.

- (WHISPERING): What does that mean?
- I have no idea.

- You talked to him?
- Yes.

- And what did you say?
- We were ordered to escort him

- back to the courthouse.
- And?

He couldn't come.

CANNING: Your Honor?

You two, in my chambers.

Right now.

What the hell's going on, gentlemen?

Where did you find him?

At his country club, Ridgemoor.

- And what happened next?
- Mr. Nugent was on the 11th tee.

We told him we were there

to escort him back to court.

Mr. Nugent informed us

that he was on track to shoot below 85.

Apparently that's an excellent
score for his handicap.

Uh... How...

Y-You know what, j-just go.

Leave.

I just don't understand it.
It's like I'm being ridiculed.

Take a sip.

How can they just say no?

Not just the witness, the marshals.

Because the whole thing isn't real.

What we do, what we rule...

it's just shadow play.

We say, "You go to jail, you don't".

And then we count on other
people making it happen.

and if they don't want
to, they don't have to.

That's insane. When I was a lawyer...

Yes, you thought we meant something.

That's why we wear the robes.

If we didn't, we'd just be the shmucks

who sit a little higher
than anyone else.

- So what do we do?
- You want this guy in court?

Yes. Yes.

And there's no other way for the
trial to move forward without him?

- No.
- Okay.

Finish your drink.

Mm.

Oh, I hate tequila.

Let's go.

Put your robe on.

You're new to this job, Judge.

Cagney and Lacey here

Uh, please forgive me. Uh...

(CLEARS THROAT) I know it's late.

No, what is it?

This.

It was on my desk and, uh,

I-I don't know what it means.

But it seems crucial.

I have no idea what it is.

It's Memo 618.

Good night, Julius.

Damn.

He knew it was mine?

I think he did.

Hey.

I don't know. I thought
you liked skulking around.

I like...

having my private life stay private.

But that may not be an option anymore.

Well, think about it as you fuck me.

- Mm.

So, what's Memo 618?

What?

I was standing at the top of the stairs.

I heard Julius mention it.

I have no idea.

(LAUGHS)

You are such a liar, woman.

- Who says?
- I can tell now.

Yeah.

You can trick everybody
else, but you can't trick me.

Oh, so, you a mind reader now, huh?

- Uh-uh.
- Uh-huh.

- Uh-uh.
- Well, then, tell me.

What am I thinking?

Ms. Skye, did you intend
to start your own business

when you signed this
prenuptial agreement?

No idea.

- Could you elaborate?
- No.

But you signed this prenup

because you and your
husband... the two of you...

wanted to protect your
husband's business

in the event of a divorce.

- Isn't that correct?
- No.

- It isn't?
- It isn't.

Well, then, why did you sign it?

Because Brad asked me to.

Give me a break, Bianca.

Oh, fuck you, Brad.

- There is no pretense here...
- Fuck you!

- The whole point...
- (OVERLAPPING CHATTER)

- All right, all right.
- LUCCA: Okay, okay.

Bianca, do you want to take a break?

No. I'll answer the question.

You asked me what the purpose

of the document was. The
answer is to get married.

Brad wouldn't marry me without it,

and I loved him, so I signed it.

If he doesn't like what it says now,

he should have gotten a better lawyer.

- (LAUGHS)
- Oh...

That was so great.

- Did you see his face?
- I did.

And-and you, you did perfect.

Oh, I felt good doing that.

It's called power. It's
why people go into the law.

Well, you are a good influence.

So, I have a suggestion, Bianca.

Get this guy out of your life.

What do you mean?

Settle it now. Make the deal.

You'll lose some money,

but you'll never have
to see his face again.

- Does David Lee agree?
- No.

He thinks we should go further.

But I just think you
have to balance money

with psychological wellness.

(KNOCKING)

Uh... (CLEARS THROAT)

Yes, uh, just a second.

(GRUNTS)

Come in.

Julius.

My turn to apologize. For
being vague last night.

No, I understand.

I, uh, recognized his jacket.

Don't worry. Your
confidence is safe with me.

That's not it.

It's about the memo.

- 618?
- Listen,

you need to let Tucker
Nugent out of jail now.

Then you need to apologize.

Are you crazy?

He ignored a subpoena.

Yes, and you need to let him out.

And once he's out,
you need to apologize.

Charlotte, I enforced the law.

You came to me for
advice. I'm giving it.

Let him out.

And apologize.

And don't ask anybody
about the memo again.

Judge Hazlewood,

please repeat what you just said to me.

Take this.

What is it?

An address I need you to go to.

- Why?
- _

Because you wanted to
know what 618 meant.

There's an Uber downstairs.

Take it.

Oh, and by the way,
the court has a program.

Memo 618.

I was in the middle of an appeal.

Pharmaceutical case.

Fairly easy. Opioids.

I was about to rule against them

when I got the memo.

Pretty clear they wanted
me to rule the other way,

but I wasn't gonna do it.

"They". Meaning who?

No idea.

But within two weeks, another judge

filed a complaint of misconduct

with the Seventh
Circuit Court of Appeals.

Said I took bribes.

A dozen witnesses, all lying.

But there was evidence.

I was given the chance

to walk away without a scandal,

but also without a pension.

So I signed.

I took it. They had me.

I stood by my ideals,

and here I am.

$45,000 a year, pre-tax.

That's working 60 hours a week.

Tips are good.

Sometimes I can go out
to dinner with my wife.

If I had it to do over again...

Whatever memo they send you...

do it.

So, ready to go back?

♪ I'm holding onto all I can ♪

♪ Can't try to take that away ♪

♪ One li... ♪

♪ One little thing I've heard... ♪

I should have you fired.

What are you talking about?

Get out of here, David.
Next time, knock.

You told her to settle.

- You told her...
- Bianca?

Yes, I told her.

She's better off moving
on from her husband

and not having you bilk her

for a couple more months
of billable hours.

And does this settlement
include monthly alimony?

- You know it did. That's standard.
- And under the latest tax law,

she can't deduct alimony,

so she's paying ten million
dollars more in taxes.

Meanwhile, Brad pays
no tax on the alimony.

You just made him rich.

Congratulations.

That's why I was
stretching out the depos,

not so that I could add
to the billable hours,

but so that I could delay
the tax bill until next year.

You just fucked your friend
out of ten million dollars.

But I'm glad you care so much for her.

(DOGS BARKING)

Uh, yeah, I, uh...

I-I'm... I'm sorry, I'm
just, I'm in the park.

Uh, listen, can I call you back, please?

Okay. Thank you.

This is insane.

I agree. What... what are we gonna do?

- We're going upstairs.
- And say what?

That they can't be using
this floor as a toilet

for their motherfucking dogs, Liz.

- Yes? May I help you?
- Yes. You may.

We would like to speak
with Mr. Laurie, please

- Mr. Laurie's in London.
- We got this.

- No. I...
- Lady, seriously,

you do not want to try
and stop us right now.

What I suggest is that
you just tell your boss

we just pushed past
you, we just ignored you.

That's the better story to tell.

No reason to be glum.

Right? Huh? Oh.

- Adrian, Elizabeth, how are you?
- Fine.

This is Avenger.

Say hello, Avenger.

(GRUFF VOICE): Howdy.

John.

(GAVIN GROANS)

So, what do you need?

We need the dogs to stop
shitting on our floor.

I didn't know they were.

They are.

Y-You told us from the beginning

that this was partnering, not acquiring.

And if this is true partnering,

then we need to have shared interests.

You are right. I will make sure the dogs

come up some other way.

Good.

Mr. Firth.

Our equity partners
need to be made whole.

What does that mean, whole?

It means they were promised
their yearly bonuses

would be equal to their
Reddick/Boseman bonuses,

- and they haven't been.
- Okay.

How do we want to satisfy this?

- Give them money.
- (CHUCKLES): Yeah.

Okay. So the three of us,
we'll get together next week

and figure out how to make that happen.

- Good.
- One other thing.

There is an executive elevator.

It only comes to our floor now.

We're gonna change that so
it also comes to your floor.

- For the partners.
- That'd be good.

Great. We're all partners.

I mean, we want what you want.

Thank you for bringing
your issues to me.

No problem. (CHUCKLES)

Good. See you later.

- LIZ: Mm-hmm.
- Yep.

♪♪

(LAUGHS)

That was easy.

Yeah, too easy.

I...

I don't know.

You know, let-let's...

let's just take yes for an answer.

(SCOFFS SOFTLY)

- So now what?
- Now we put Nugent on the stand,

embarrass him with these reviews

and hopefully save your restaurant.

Please remove Mr. Nugent's handcuffs.

Your Honor, we call
Tucker Nugent to the stand.

It's been brought to my attention

that in placing Mr. Nugent in custody,

I may have overlooked
certain legal precedents.

Incarceration of any
kind or any length of time

should only be used as a last resort,

never as a denial of fundamental rights.

It's clear that Mr. Nugent's actions

didn't justify subjecting
him to such treatment.

- Your Honor...
- Also, upon further reflection,

it would seem that in denying

Mr. Canning's motion to recuse,

I was in error.

Your Honor,

uh, we all make mistakes.

Even the appearance

of impropriety is to be avoided.

Accordingly, I will be
transferring this case

to the Executive Committee of the Court,

and if the case should go to trial,

it will be before someone else.

I take it you're sorry for what you did?

I am.

Might be good to say it out loud.

I'm sorry.

Apology accepted.

- And we thank Your Honor.
- (DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Anything else, Counselor?

Nothing from me, Judge.

Pending reassignment,
does the injunction

against alteration to the
property remain in effect?

Yes.

Yes, it most certainly does.

BAILIFF: All rise.

(DOOR OPENS)

Who got to you?

I understand you're disappointed.

Disappointed?

I'm outraged.

You have a lifetime appointment.

You took an oath to faithfully
and impartially perform

under the Constitution, so help you God.

Thank you for your concern,
counselor, but that's enough.

If the federal court ignores the law...

what's left?

Go. Now.

- Julius...
- No.

I said go.

(PHONE VIBRATING)

Hello?

MARTA: It's gone.

Marta?

What's gone?

They tore it down. It's gone.

Everything is gone.

Your restaurant?

- Yes!
- They can't do that.

The judge enjoined the demolition.

Well, someone did it,
because it's not here.

A-All right, I'll...
I'll be right there.

They bulldozed the building,

without any warning.

The restaurant.

It's not my case anymore, counselor.

This is on you, Julius,

whether it's your case or not.

Don't talk to me that way.

I'm a judge.

Hello. From "The Good Fight" family...

we hope you're well and staying
safe during this difficult time.

We were in the midst of shooting
our current season, when we shut down.

And cast and crew, were sent home.

So, that's where we all are now,

sheltering in place.

We're "The Good Fight" writers.

- The editors.
- The actors.

The background cast and stand-ins.

The post-production team.

- The art department.
- The prop department.

The costume designers and
wardrobe department.

- Hair and...
- Makeup department.

- Casting.
- (DOG BARKS)

The producers and the directors.

- Camera department.
- Sound department.

- Video.
- The electrics.

- ***.
- The ***.

Catering and crafty.

The locations department.

- The production and...
- Accounting department.

And the assistant directors.

We want to thank you
for watching our show

and explain why we're off next week.

Working from home has delayed
many aspects of post-production,

and we need one week to catch up.

We've had to learn how to
do everything remotely.

For example, our composer
scores the episode at Andorra,

as our music supervisor
adds songs in Texas.

And they send it all to Los Angeles
where our music editor

puts it in the episode and they...

Send it to Manhattan to be mixed.

And they send it to Santa Barbara

to an executive producer to improve it.

The *** is being made by editing,

visual effects and additional
dialogue recording.

So please return to "The
Good Fight" April 30th,

and we look forward to you
seeing the rest of the season.

But, in the meantime here's
a song because... why not.

(GUITAR PLAYING)

♪ You are my sunshine ♪

♪ My only sunshine ♪

♪ You make me happy

♪ Please don't take my sunshine away ♪

♪ The other night dear,
while I lay sleeping ♪

♪ I dreamt I held you ♪

♪ In my arms ♪

♪ But when I awoke, dear ♪

♪ I was mistaken ♪

♪ So I hung my head and cried ♪

♪ You are my sunshine,

DIANE: They bulldozed the restaurant.

JULIUS: I'm no longer on the case.

You seem angry, Diane.

See you in court.

- (MUSIC CHANGES)
- All rise.

Who's your girlfriend?

And what does she know
about my disappearing case?

- Whoa.
- ADRIAN: Memo 618.

I just told our top client to fuck off,

- whatever you're dealing with can't be worse.
- (ADRIAN LAUGHING)

I just have one more
question, Your Honor.

What is Memo 618?

Court is adjourned.

- Until when?
- Until I fucking decide.
