Previously on The Good Wife:

I understand the need

to blame someone
for your husband's downfall,

but I didn't release

that sex tape to hurt you

or your family.
You should know,

I was holding back.
Mr. Childs,

if you have something
to show me, just do it.

Did you bury something?

We all know what's
going on here.

Peter Florrick was a
corrupt and convicted

state's attorney.

If evidence was buried,
he buried it.

Alicia, I know
this has been hard on you,

but you have to believe me,
I'm innocent.

Everybody shut up,
and don't move!

(grunts)

What you staring at?

Get down! Kiss the floor!

Chicago P.D.!

Don't move!

(grunts)

Don't look at
me! Get down!

(gasping)

(gunshots)

Oh, come on. Talk
about undue publicity.

You're telling me that
didn't affect the jury pool?

No. I'm telling you
it doesn't matter.

We don't have the time.

We have got...

55 minutes

to get the brief to the
county clerk. We're late,

Clarence Wilcox stays
on death row.

We can't risk it.

We can't not risk it.

The undue publicity
argument is the weakest

part of the brief.
It needs more work.

Which would be a problem

if it was the only part
of the brief.

We've got five other
solid arguments in there

to appeal Wilcox's
conviction.

Let's ask Will.

He'll agree with me.

Good, then it'll be settled.

If it doesn't end up
in the brief,

Will can't use it
in oral argument, right?

(sighs)

This... this is crazy.

There's no time to write it.

It'll mean open heart surgery

on the brief!

This is odd.

Yeah, we can
compete tomorrow.

We think there's enough time
to add another argument

to the Legal Aid appeal,
but we have to move quickly.

Quickly seems
to be an understatement.

What time's
the cutoff?
5:00 p.m.

There was a cable
TV movie broadcasted

a week before jury selection.

We believe
it influenced the jury.

Why didn't Legal
Aid pursue it?

We don't know.

We found it
two hours ago.

Can you do it
in 48 minutes?
Just.

You're the faster typist.

We need to get the cable
viewership for Cook County.

All right, I'm on it.

MAN:
Undue publicity argument...

WOMAN:
We're never gonna shove all
this in before the deadline.

Which one?

(overlapping chatter)

I got cable viewership
from six years ago.

Give me the numbers.
It's not broken
out by program.

What?!

(overlapping chatter)

We're not going to make it.

Damn.

Damn? Don't say damn.

Shh!
This is gonna
take an hour.

Go ask upstairs,
ask him if he needs it.

Give me a section.

(knocks)

Yeah?

We're almost done

with the TV movie argument,
but we can't specify

the saturation
of the jury pool.

You don't have the ratings
broken out?

No.
Okay.

We'll slip it into
a friend of the court brief.

Just submit what
you have now.

Yup.

Legal Aid couldn't
handle the appeal.

They gave it to us a week
before oral arguments.

Interesting?

Clarence Wilcox.

Apparently killed an off-duty
cop in a grocery store.

He's been on death row
for six years.

Legal Aid thinks
he got an unfair trial.

But you know what the appellate
courts think of technicals.

They'll kill it?
Oh, yeah.

BREE:
Give me a section.

(overlapping, excited chatter)

WOMAN:
Finished pages,
hand them over now.

You organize.

Don't give them to me.
Hand them to him.

Okay.

There's a typo there.

No, no, no.
Shut up.

There.
Shut up.

Yeah, this is Cary Agos
at Stern, Lockhart & Gardner.

We have a death row appeal
coming to you... now.

Yeah, well, if you don't mind,
I'd like to stay on the line

and make sure
you receive it.

Damn! WiFi's low!

Come on.

Come on...

Come on.
You're sure?

You don't see it?

Okay, good to know.
Thank you very much.

(laughter and cheering)

MAN:
People of the State of Illinois

v. Clarence Wilcox.

Mr. Gardener,
we've read your brief,

and we're now prepared
for oral arguments.

You may begin.

Thank you, Chief Justice.

May it please the court.

Six years ago,

Clarence Wilcox,
a 24-year-old

Chicago man, was arrested
for the murder

of a plainclothes officer

during the robbery of a
grocery store in South Chicago.

It is our contention that

Clarence Wilcox
did not receive a fair trial.

He has spent the last six years
on death row due to the fact...

Mr. Gardener, please explain
your undue publicity arguments.

Yes, Your Honor.

It is our contention
that Clarence Wilcox...

How is it different
from the Scott Peterson appeal?

It also involved

a TV movie released prior
to jury selection.

Yes, well, Your Honor,

in that case,

the TV movie didn't show
the Peterson character

murdering his victim.

In Cop Killer,

our client is seen

shooting
the victim.

Thank you,
Mr. Gardener.

Yeah.

That was a nice last-minute
Hail Mary with the TV movie.

Judges love novelty
in arguments.

Think you can you get a preview
on the decision?

Let's see what
I can find out,

but don't get
your hopes up.

95% of automatic appeals
are rejected out of hand.

Right.
Good job.

WOMAN:
Excuse me, Miss?

Uh, sorry to bother you, but
my name is Patrice Wilcox.

I'm Clarence's wife.

Oh, of course.
I'm so sorry.

I'm Alicia Florrick.

Do you know why Clarence
wasn't in court today?

Why?

Well, during
automatic appeal,

the defendant's
not usually seated.

Didn't someone tell you?

So you're

his new lawyers then?

No.

Legal Aid didn't have the staff
to argue the appeal, so we're

on temporarily.

Because you never said anything
about Clarence being innocent.

Yes. Unfortunately, that wasn't
the point of this appeal.

It was whether some mistake
was made in the law.

Isn't it a mistake in the law
if he didn't do it?

If he was with
me that night?

Have you ever even met him?

And you're arguing for his life.

I want you
to have this.

That's the last time
he held his daughter.

We lost the appeal.

What?

When? How do you know?

The Chief Justice's clerk.

He sets up time
for writing opinions.

It was an easy no.

I thought we had it.

To be honest, I did, too.

So, what do we do now?

Go back to the office.

Well, about the case.

The case?
It's not ours.

It's Legal Aid's.

Captioning sponsored by
CBS TELEVISION

Actual innocence?

Yes.

We lost the
automatic appeal.

Now you want to appeal
on actual innocence?

I read the trial record.

Defense never put his
wife on the stand.

She was his only alibi, and
the jury never heard from her.

Because wives lie.

I can't believe I'm
having to tell you this.

And she had priors.

I read the trial
record, too.

Juvenile priors.

Oh, well, then,
those don't count.

What am I missing here?

When I worked at the
state's attorney's office,

we called these
"appeals by hunch."

This guy had his trial,

an expensive trial.

He killed a cop.

Allegedly.
No.

12 jurors,

strong and true,
found him guilty.

That means not allegedly.

That means he killed a cop.

You know, sometimes

people with cute daughters
and sweet little wives

do bad things.

Sometimes very bad things.

I'm not helping you on this one.

Suit yourself.

Cary wants to take a week
on Clarence Wilcox.

See if there's any
foundation for an
evidentiary appeal.

On actual innocence.

WILL:
We think

it's a good idea
for a week.

DIANE: It's good
promotable work.

And, not to sound
too cynical,

but it burns
off the hours

we owe the pro
bono consortium.

WILL: So you two
up to doing this?

You did a good job
on the Wilcox brief.

Bree sings your
praises as a team.

Sure.

Why not?

What? It's a good cause.

I'm just trying to fit this
into the fuller Cary picture.

Hey, there aren't that
many generations left.

You've taken the greatest
generation, the lost generation,

the Pepsi generation,
so what do we have left?

The surprise generation?

So, surprise.

No. Look,
the truth is,

his wife came up to me
yesterday with his daughter--

--really cute, you
know-- and gave me this.

(laughs)

What? It meant
something to me.

Oh, wow.

You think she has a car
full of them?

Hey, it worked.
We're on it.

I'm kind of liking
her more now.

Hmm.

Oh, Mrs. Florrick,

thank you so much
for doing this.

Thank you.

Would you have pursued it
if I hadn't given you pictures?

That's what I said.

What, do you hand these out
like party favors?

Lawyers tend to
forget he's a person.

Look, I love my husband.

He's innocent,
and I know

he's innocent,
and I would do anything for him.

Anything.

Patrice, how are you doing?
Good.

I just wanted to introduce you.

Josh Baldwin.

Hey. Cary Agos.
Nice to meet you.

Alicia Florrick.

Follow me.

Now, I thought
we had a good defense.

We could have won.
CARY:
Except?

Except it was me against
about a half-dozen ASAs.

This was the first case

in that high-profile task force
your husband set up.

They only handled four
or five cases a year,

but they put all
their resources into this.

Tammy, how do I work
this thing?!

(chirps)
Oh, thanks.

So, do you know

who your husband put in
charge of that task force?

Glenn Childs.

(chuckles)

Small world, huh?

You go to the deepest heart
of Appalachia,

you will not find a town smaller
than Chicago.

(clears throat)

Up there, top two boxes.

Why didn't you put
Patrice on the stand?

Oh, she had priors.
The jury would think

she was lying to protect
her husband.

You need to be calm for that.

You know, I just think
I'll live with the mystery.

Look, it wouldn't
have mattered anyway.

It all came down
to the eyewitness.

The med student?
Yeah.

Everything else
was circumstantial.

The blood spatter.

Clarence was wearing
a Bulls sweatshirt

two days after the murder.

But that lady stood

right up in court,
pointed at Clarence

and said, "He did it."

That's when I
knew it was over.

WOMAN:
That movie was awful,
wasn't it?

My dad taped it for me.

First of all, I was in there
buying cat food.

And I was alone.

And, then, all of a sudden,
I'm this blonde coed

who falls in love
with a married man.

Was anything right
in it?

Well, um, I did see him--
Wilcox.

That was true.

He ran through the door,
he fired his gun,

he yelled at me
to kiss the floor,

but I peered up,
and I saw him

kill that police officer.

You have no doubts?

I've seen people die--

I... a lot of people
die, actually,

on the operating table.

I worked for a summer
in South Chicago.

But I've only seen
one person murdered.

It's not something
you forget.

Do you think we're on
a fool's errand?

I think we all have a job to do.

I save the lives

of some people who I know,
as soon as they get well,

are going to go out and kill.

But I still try to save them.

It's your job to
try to get him off.

It's the prosecutor's
job to stop you.

It's my job to tell the truth.

I would say, "Good luck,"
but I wouldn't mean it.

Take care.

What do you think?

I think we're in trouble.

Now, what am I
looking for?

Just watch.

Okay.

The police believe that
man just killed someone,

and you are the only
eyewitness, so...

That's the six-pack
photo array

the police
present to you.

Which one is it?

DIANE:
That's him.

(chuckling)

Yeah, maybe. Hold on.

Yeah.

You're confident?

I'm confident.

You're wrong.

(all laughing)

The culprit
isn't one of these.

This is when we explain
to the jury

about cross-racial
identification.

Studies still haven't
adequately explained why,

but it's harder
for Caucasians

to identify subtle differences
in African-American faces,

and African-Americans
in Caucasians.

And how much do you charge
to say that?

My consultation rates
are comparable.

$20,000
for a routine appeal.

WILL:
Well,

we filed an evidentiary appeal,

but we don't know
if we have it yet.

Would you like to try it?

KALINDA:
Let me guess.

A terrorist.

You don't need
a story, do you?

Which one is it?

None of them.

You're confident?

Nope.

Number three.

MAN:
Hey.

Hide everything,
quick!

Here comes the
opposition.

S'up, Muller.
Hey, Shores.

Busy day, I see.

Hey, we're at
a 65% clearance rate.

We're doing our part
to clean up after you.

Yeah, looks that way.

So... Clarence Wilcox.

Tell me about
his lineup.

That was six years ago.

Yeah.

(sighs)

Well, lady comes in,
describes the suspect.

Male, black, mid-20s,
six feet tall,

uh, wearing
a Bulls sweatshirt.

So, uh... well, she seemed
pretty certain,

so we, uh, went over to Howie,
and he did a sketch.

Yeah. Yeah.

So, we found
your guy.

He matched the sketch.

He had blood spatter
on his sweat top.

He tried to wash the blood
out, but, uh, he failed.

So, we put him in a lineup.

Six guys, all black.

All the same height,
same build.

Lady pointed right at him.

And...?

And... and we went out
for steaks afterwards.

I don't know what
you want to hear.

Yep. What I want to hear

is that you didn't put
your thumb on the scale.

No hint, no nod,

no nudge?

No hint, no nod, no nudge.

And what about
a six-pack?

Did you show her
the six-pack first?

Is it in the
investigative report?

Then, no.

Wow.

You've lost your sense
of humor these days.

(laughs)

Hey, Muller.

What's up?

I thought you weren't
helping on this one.

The eyewitness described him
as a six-foot black man,

mid-20s,
in a Bulls sweatshirt.

Oh, my God.

Yeah. The only one
in a Bulls sweatshirt.

They showed
the eyewitness

this six-pack
before the lineup.

I've got to get
this to Will.

It's enough for an
evidentiary appeal.

Probably,
but if you're going

to go all the way
with this,

you're going to have
to talk to your husband.

My husband? Why?

He knows where the bodies
are buried.

No.

Thanks for this.

You okay?

Yep.

Okay.

So, we got our retrial.

Good job on getting
that six-pack.

Oh, that was Kalinda.

Now things
get interesting.

Bree, I want you
to pull together

everything we have
from the first trial.

Cary and Alicia,
I want you

to reinterview
all the witnesses.

Six years go by,
people have

a very different memory
of things.

And get Kalinda
to undercut this eyewitness.

Look into her background,

whatever dirt
you can dig up.

You're not going
to find anything.

We'll see.
Everybody's got something.

Okay.

Today's a win.
Now, let's see about tomorrow.

(murmuring)

MAN (over P.A.):
Peter Florrick.

Report to interview room five.

Florrick, interview room five.

(door closes)

Kalinda?

Yeah.

Where's Alicia?

Pat.

KALINDA:
Your wife doesn't want

to visit you to get
your take on this case.

I don't deal in the same
moral shades of black and white,

so... hi.

What case?

Clarence Wilcox.

She's defending a cop killer.

But he did it.

You know he did it.

What I know and what I don't
have shifted a bit.

This goes back
to Childs.

He was top man
on that case.

Yeah. He's not happy
about the retrial.

This could hurt Childs.

It could.

It's an interesting dynamic,
isn't it?

If Childs does poorly,

voters remember me fondly.

You know what I
like about you?

You're three months into
a ten-year sentence,

and you're plotting your
political comeback.

Politics is just a game
of Chutes and Ladders.

Right now, I'm at square one.

Here's our problem.

You see that?

Conversation
between family members

and convicts is subject
to prison surveillance--

except under certain
circumstances.

Conjugal circumstances.

Now, you and I
are adults.

We can talk honestly
and directly.

I can help you
with your case,

but I can't help you.

CLARENCE:
I've done other things
in my life--

and if you want, I can
tell you about them...

but I didn't do this.

Did the officer
who took your mug shot...

Shores.

Right-- Detective Shores.

Did he put you
in that Bulls sweatshirt?

No.

Did anybody else?

No, I... I came
in wearing it.

Didn't they want it
for evidence?

Yeah, but they wanted
to take my mug shot first.

They made you keep it on
for the mug shot?

Yeah.

Did they say why?

No, but when I tried
to take it off,

that guy, Shores, he said, "No.

Keep it on."

They wanted it in the picture.

And, here we are again,
Mrs. Florrick.

Your Honor?

And who do we have over here?

Oh, ASA Becker
and, my goodness,

the deputy state's attorney,

Mr. Brody.
H-how are you today?

We're ready, Your Honor.

It's strange that we have
to be ready at all because

I thought this case
was previously adjudicated,

but the appellate court
has found reason

to reverse my ruling.

Not by our hand,
Your Honor.

That's right, so...

who saw fit to question
my ruling, Mrs. Florrick?

Your Honor,
we mean no disrespect.

We believe Your Honor was given
incorrect information

by those trying
the case.

Ah, good, well, as long
as there's no disrespect.

I mean, I guess it's better
to be considered

a fool than a cheat, right?

Well, shall we begin,

Mr. Becker?

Your Honor, we would
like to introduce

into the record
the transcripts

from the first trial.

Objection.

Overruled.
So moved.

The prosecution
rests, Your Honor.

Well, thank you,
Mr. Brody.

Mr. Gardener,
are you ready to proceed?

(whispering):
Okay.

Um... I-I must admit

we're caught a bit off guard.

Yes, my guess is that was
Mr. Brody's intention.

It was, Your Honor.

WILL:
Uh, defense requests

recess until
tomorrow morning.

No, no,

no, no, you see, I know
how this works, Counselor.

You still need time
to prep your witnesses.

Now, Mr. Brody
has surprised you,

and now the ball
is in your court.

Actually, Your Honor,
our witnesses are

on their way to
court right now.

CUESTA:
Oh, good, well, then we
just need a short recess.

Ten minutes.

Yes, I know
I said tomorrow, sir,

but this could be a matter
of life and death...

What time do you think

you'll be back from Baltimore?

Call me back with an ETA.

Can you please

have him call me back
as soon as he gets this message?

Got one.

Two hours away.

We need to talk.

Oh, we're short
a witness.

Remember what I said about
visiting your husband?

Yes.

Well, I know you
like obsessing

over the ethical
niceties.

Illinois Court ruling
1.6 subsection "C."

An attorney may use leaked
information, just not...

Kalinda, there's no need.

Peter's got nothing
on this case.

He does.

How do you know?

I saw him.

You saw him?

You saw Peter?

Yeah.

You visited my husband
in prison?

I used to work for him.

I told you that.

How often did you visit
my husband in prison?

Please don't
go there.

Why not?

Because it's not pertinent
and it's not true.

Don't...

...visit my husband
in prison.

Then you visit him.

You want to help
Clarence, go visit him.

CUESTA:
Well?

Defense calls Detective
Alec Shores as a witness.

Objection, Your Honor.

Detective Shores isn't on
the defense's witness list.

That's right,

he's on yours.

Well, is he in court anyway?

Maybe we can get
something done today.

I want you
to do this.

Cary prepped for it.

You know it?

Then let's go.

(clears throat)

SHORES:
Yeah, that's the sweatshirt
he was wearing.

So?

And you don't think
it's prejudicial

to put only one suspect
wearing a Bulls sweatshirt

in a photo lineup
intended to find

a suspect in a
Bulls sweatshirt?

I don't know.
It's what he was wearing.

And you found bloodstains
on this sweatshirt?

Yeah, he tried
to wash the blood out,

but it left a stain.

And where was the
stain, Detective?

Where? Here.

The witness

is pointing to the forearm
of his right sleeve.

And how did the suspect
explain the stain?

Yeah, he said he, uh,
he was in a pickup game

the night before the
murder, made contact,

and he got a nosebleed.

And this blood matched
the victim's?

No, the, uh, the police lab
could not get a DNA match.

Since he washed the shirt,
it degraded the blood.

So that would be a "no"?

That would be a "no."

Detective,
I'm curious,

if you got a nosebleed
in a pickup game,

what would you do?

I don't understand
the question, ma'am.

You're playing
some two-on-two,

you want to keep playing,
your nose is bleeding.

What do you do?

What do you do?
You do... you know.

Let the record show

that Detective Shores
attempted to wipe his nose

with the forearm of
his right sleeve.

Excuse me, Your Honor, he
did nothing of the kind.

Consistent with the stain
on the accused's sweatshirt.

Objection.
Detective Shores, what

were you preparing to do?

Your Honor, I was preparing
to raise my right hand

to my face
to wipe my nose.

Objection sustained.

Continue, Mrs. Florrick.

Detective,
isn't it true

that the only reason
you arrested Mr. Wilcox

is because he was wearing
a Bulls sweatshirt?

No, he matched
the physical description.

Detective,

do you own a Chicago
Bulls sweatshirt?

Objection, Your Honor.

What's the point here?

I am trying
to show

that at the time of
Mr. Wilcox's arrest,

Bulls apparel was
quite popular,

so therefore

it wouldn't be unusual to
find a multitude of suspects

wearing Bulls sweatshirts.

Overruled.

Answer
the question.

No, I do not own
one of those.

You're under oath,
Detective Shores.

I-I understand that,
Your Honor.

I-I'm not a fan.

Well, I am.

I have a Bulls
sweatshirt identical

to that one.
Your Honor, objection.

I'm-I'm sorry,

you're objecting to me?

No. I'm just...

objecting to the...
general tenor of...

Lenny, do you have one
of these Bulls sweats?

Judy, how about you?

Anyone else?

Your Honor,

given this testimony, we request

that Detective
Shores' work product

be excluded from the record.
Yeah,

nice try, Mr. Gardener,

but there's nothing here
that rises to the level

of "fruit
of the forbidden tree,"

so you'll have
to do better than that.

But you
and Mrs. Florrick

do get an "E"

for effort.

Any further
questions?

No, Your Honor.

You got some traction
on Clarence Wilcox?

Looks like it.

And what happened with Cary?
What do you mean?

You have him running
something down with Kalinda?

Oh, right, his choice.

When you bumped him
from second chair.

Am I being grounded?

We had an agreement.

Six months and we see
what cream rises to the top.

And we are...

seeing.

Not if you're promoting
one over the other.

Look, Diane,

I want to be very specific
here, very clear.

Alicia is a
secret weapon.

She freaks him out.

Cary?
No, Matan.

She's a junior associate, and
the state's attorney's office

can't think straight
around her.

Just dangle Alicia
in front of them,

and they lose control of
their case and their bowels.

Okay, and what about her?

Her?

Alicia?

What do
you mean?

She's still Florrick's wife.

She has an agenda,

whether you believe it
or not.

And what would that be?

Embarrassing the man who
derailed her husband's career.

WOMAN:
There is no audio
or visual recording,

there is no monitoring,

and there is
no outside intervention.

There is a panic button

located just inside
the front door

should you require
our assistance.

For security reasons, you
will not be permitted

to leave the premises
until 6:00 a.m. tomorrow

unless said panic
button is activated.

Turn around and
raise your arms.

KALINDA:
You're sure?

Here's the thing, Miss.

You phoned the cops
about an armed robbery

a week after the one
we're investigating.

We thought it might be
the same suspect

because you're only two blocks
away from the other.

The suspect--

was he possibly wearing
a Bulls sweatshirt?

Okay, thank you.

(speaks loudly
in native language)

Well, this is
kind of cool.

Kind of out here
investigating.

You're chipper,
aren't you?

Dangerously chipper.

Okay, so here's the plan.

We look for
armed robberies

after Clarence
Wilcox was arrested

and see if any of them match
this sketch.

That way we get
another suspect in court.

We'll split
the interviews.

How long you been working
at Stern, Lockhart?

No.
What?

Ask them about
the M.O.,

the Bulls
sweatshirt,

anything that's remotely
similar to Clarence.

What did I do?

Uninterested.

You're uninterested
in talking?

How much would you imagine
we'd have in common?

I don't like talking to people
I have a lot in common with.

Okay, I have a
proposition for you.

Find this person, I'll tell
you whatever you want to know.

Whatever I want to know?

And more.

Okay, you just saved
Clarence Wilcox's life.

Cary.

There's one
for you, too.

(beeping)

(door opens)

Hi.

Hi.

Is this weird
or what?

Weird.

And in such pretty
accommodations.

Well, I told them
to put in that painting.

(both chuckle)

Listen, I-I have
to ask you a favor.

No, it's nothing.

I know we have a lot
of work to do, but...

I haven't taken a shower
alone in months.

Of course.

Sorry, go.
Thanks.

(water running)

The weak link
in this case is Shores.

If I can discredit
his testimony,

the case falls apart.

47th Street Homicide.

What's that?
Double-homicide.

Accused was shot in the back.

Shores was accused
of planting a gun.

Was it proven?
Didn't have to be.

At a suppression hearing,

the judge ruled the
gun inadmissable.

I had to DP the case.

Decline to prosecute.

What?

Was he this man?

Was the robber this man?

It could be.

I'm not good with faces.

It went so fast.

Who are you again?

A lawyer.

You're a lawyer?

What are you doing here?
I don't know.

Was this man, this robber, was
he wearing a Bulls sweatshirt?

Bulls sweatshirt?

Really, I couldn't say.

He burst through the door,
and the first thing he said

was "Kiss the floor,
don't look up,"

so I didn't.
He said what?

He said, "Kiss the floor,

don't look up."
He said those
exact words?

He had a gun on me.

I think I would
remember what he said.

Sounded like good advice

at the time so
I kissed the floor.

Okay, thank you very much.

Hey, Kalinda.

So, this guy robbed him,
told him to kiss the floor

in May 2003?
Yeah.

A month after
Clarence was convicted.

And here's the thing:
the cops told him

they caught this robber
a month later, maybe two.

So, it couldn't be Clarence
because he was in jail.
Yep.

And this guy, he was a really
nice guy, by the way,

he was supposed to
go to court to testify,

but they told him
they didn't need him

because the robber
copped a plea.

Okay, armed robbery,
no injuries, money taken.

He probably got
four years.

Whoa, let's not
lose track here.

What about my reward?

Mike, can you look up
armed robbery plea bargains

in the summer of 2003?

What reward?

No, no, you know
what reward.

Let me just think of some
really embarrassing question.

No, I'm looking for
an armed robber.

I bet this is the first time
this has happened in here.

You okay?

I'm great.

Are you joking?

No, I'm serious.

This is the closest
five minutes of normalcy

I've had in eight months.

It's like we're in camp.

Want me to tell you a story?

Good night.

Your Honor, please,
this is too much.

Detective Shores was never
found guilty of planting a gun.

Because the judge suppressed
the gun evidence

and the State's Attorney
declined to prosecute.

Is that what Peter was saying?

WILL:
Excuse me, sir!

You can talk to me.

You leave my junior associate
out of this.

Come on, let's face facts here,
Your Honor...

I think that's what we're
trying to do, Mr. Brody.

Detective Shores is an
honored homicide detective.

I have worked with him for a
decade now and he has been

nothing but professional and...
A perjurer?

Excuse me, Your Honor?

I don't like someone
staring me right in the eye

and lying to me,
and there's not

a cop I know
who isn't a Bulls fan.

Your Honor, that is irrelevant.

I'll decide what's irrelevant.

If you want to file a complaint,

that's why Judy is here.

Now, Mr. Gardner, I'm finding
now reason to reverse myself.

I think you've made a very

strong "fruit of the
forbidden tree" argument.

If I can't trust Shores,

then I can't trust the evidence
that's tied to him.

So, the line-up,
the Bulls sweatshirt,

the artist's sketch, they are
now stricken from the record.

Your Honor.
Oh, shut up, Matan.

You've still got
the eyewitness.

That's the cornerstone
of your case anyway.

Now, Mrs. Florrick,
Mr. Gardner.

Do you have any other
tricks up your sleeve?

No, Your Honor.
Good.

Then we are in recess
until tomorrow at 10:00

when I will decide on
this case a second time.

Are we all happy?

Good.

That's Michael Parsons.

The one that said
"kiss the floor."

He was convicted of four
armed robberies in South Chicago

over a two year period.

KALINDA:
He pled and was sentenced

to Wabash Valley
for four years.

So, this is the killer?

We believe so.

Where is he now?

Well, that's the bad news.

He's dead.

He died in prison in 2006.

So, they got an eyewitness
and we got nothing.

WILL:
Great.

That's great.

Thank you for coming in, Doctor.

No problem, but I wish
I could actually help you.

CARY:
Well, maybe you can.

We just have a picture
to show you, we discovered

another man we think is
responsible for the crime.

His name is Michael Parsons,

and he was convicted of armed
robberies identical to yours.

He even used the same
language from yours.

He yelled for everyone
"to kiss the floor."

I'm sorry.

If I could help
you, I would.

But Clarence Wilcox
did this.

Just keep an open mind,
please, Tara.

This is the police sketch from
the description you gave, right?

And this is the mugshot

of the man we think did it.

Michael Parsons.

Just please look
at them carefully.

(sighs):
I'm sorry.

I really wish it was him.

But it's not.

You're sure?

Yes.

You're sure that Clarence
Wilcox is who you saw?

Yes, I'm sure.

I'm sorry, but
Clarence Wilcox did this.

This isn't Clarence Wilcox.

Excuse me?

We switched their faces.

That's Michael Parsons.

It's not.

It is.

This is Clarence Wilcox.

And you just said that
this man didn't do it.

And this man did.

Oh, my God.

I am certain.

The man I saw
killing a police officer

was not Clarence Wilcox.

In fact, um, Your Honor, can
I say something to Mr. Wilcox?

I'm sorry.

I don't know
what else to say.

But I am just so sorry.

JUDGE CUESTA:
Here's the thing, Mr. Brody.

I don't like to be reversed.
In fact, I hate it.

So, here's some advice for you
and the good State's Attorney.

You keep that from happening.

Your Honor, I want to insist...
No, you don't have
room to insist.

And you should be grateful.

I'm giving your boss an out
as big as the great outdoors.

I don't understand,
Your Honor.

Tell Charles to blame
his predecessor.

It's not the job
of the bench

to offer you advice,
Mr. Deputy Chief.

But I am just telling
you very clearly,

I want this to go away.

The regrettable corruption
during Peter Florrick's term

still infects this department.

Every step in the Wilcox case
was supervised and approved

by Peter Florrick

and we are doing
everything in our power

to correct his mistakes.

That is why I have decided

to withdraw all charges
against Mr. Clarence Wilcox.

(reporters clamoring)

There have been no discussions
about restitution.

You okay with this?

Yes.

(reporters yelling questions)

Thank you. No more questions.
That is all. Thank you.

They say he's
coming out this door.

You know...

Words are hard.

I know.

It's not like people say.

I never expected him to get out.

(clanking, keys jingling)
