THE GOOD FIGHT
Season 3, episode 2

Fuck ! How many times I got
to tell you, take out your teeth.

Very simply, a journalist was shot
and killed.

Now, a note was left on his body
reading "Kill all reporters."

And yet, the ASA is instead
prosecuting my client

saying Chris shot him. Why ?

Because he was supposedly

being paid by my colleagues'
client to be a hitman.

Does that sound overly complicated
to you ? Because it does to me.

Reporters are being targeted
by protesters all over the world.

You have your Saudi assassins,

your alt-writers,
your Maltese hitmen, and...

And yet the...

The ASA is in fact targeting
two innocent men.

I mean, why not go after the extremists
who want to kill reporters ?

Would you fuck me ?

That note, "Kill all reporters,"

it tells us that this was
a political act...

Good morning, Your Honor. I'd like
to approach the bench, if I may.

You realize you've just interrupted
your colleague's opening, Mister Blum.

Yes. And I only do so in the interests
of saving the court time.

Approach.

- You're wearing that ?
- What is it, Mister Blum ?

Let me put it this way. It does
a grave disservice to my client

to compel him to be tried jointly
with this young lady's...

- You're objecting to this now ?
- I only just learned of it.

Counsel was notified
six weeks ago.

This is a joint trial. Step back,
let your colleague continue.

Reasonable doubt, burden of proof.

I mean, outside the courtroom,
we never hear these words.

But we come in here
and we put on a pageant,

and we pretend we don't care about
the very thing we care about the most.

Who actually killed this guy ?

This cold case is different,
because I know who killed him.

This is who.

- Objection, Your Honor.
- Why would you object ?

- What are you afraid of ?
- He's trying to distract the jury...

Now, I'm not gonna let this get
out of hand, so stop.

What's he doing ?

Nothing. We just need
to keep to our defense.

Thank you, Your Honor. Lawyers.

They'll tell you, always,
this case is not a whodunit.

Well, I'm saying the opposite. This is
a whodunit and this is whodunit.

No objection at this point ?

At the appropriate time,
I'm gonna open this envelope

and I'm gonna read you the name
that is written on a piece of paper.

First, you're gonna say
that's impossible,

that's insane.

But then you're gonna think about it.

And then you're gonna say,
"How could it be anybody else ?"

How indeed.

Jeffrey.

Hey. Any last minute
words of wisdom ?

We don't have anyone with
matrimonial experience

and you're bringing six clients in
with you.

I don't think you need any last
minute words, wise or otherwise.

- Just stay out of politics ?
- Welcome to my world, brother.

So I said to the judge, "Custody goes
to values, Your Honor."

"The terms on one issue."

- What is that ?
- White Sox or Cubs.

That was great.
Any other questions ?

I have one. It's about your record
in matrimonial litigation.

Ask away.

It might be just a coincidence,
but in looking through your CV,

I noticed that the vast majority
of your clients are men.

Is there any particular reason
for that ?

I think it's the firm.
We're all service

and many of our CEOs and Vcs are
transferred over from acquisitions.

Tell me what your worry is.

I've been shepherding a lot
of our divorce cases here

in the last few weeks
and sixty percent are women.

Well, if you're worried, I work
just as well with men as women.

Excuse me, please.

I got in touch with the clinic
in Tanzania,

the one that handled Kurt's injury, her
English is actually better than mine.

Nurse Dodo said it was
an accidental shooting

by another member
of the hunting party

and it was forty-eight hours
before he was brought in.

- So, what was the delay ?
- She didn't say.

But then I checked
Eric Trump's Instagram.

He posted a picture of himself
standing over a dead giraffe

within that forty-eight
hour period.

You're telling me Kurt was shot
by one of the Trumps,

but they didn't take him to a doctor
'cause they wanted to shoot a giraffe ?

I don't wanna draw
a conclusion, but, yeah.

He's got the experience, he comes
with six divorce clients.

I'd say nobody we've seen comes
close, let's just hire the man.

- You won't be sorry.
- Lucca ?

- What ?
- I think we should keep looking.

What are we looking for ?

For someone who doesn't only
look at the men in the room.

No disrespect to Lucca, but this
is really a partner level decision.

No, no. Lucca has been handling
our matrimonial clients.

I think we should take
her opinion into account.

- So, what do you wanna do ?
- Let's keep looking at other people.

Look, we do not need to come
to a decision right at this minute.

- Are you wanting the job ?
- The...

- Heading up matrimonial.
- That's not why I was arguing.

Do you want the job ?

- I don't know.
- Well, decide.

Because this guy is way ahead of you
and I'm gonna have to vote for him

unless you can make
a strong case against it.

- How's it looking ?
- Good.

You got six out
of the eight votes.

I'll try not to let myself
get too excited quite yet.

That's smart. Looking forward
to working with you.

- That may not happen in any case.
- What do you mean ?

I'm not supposed to say anything,

but I was at a Historical Law Society
wine tasting.

- According to a reliable source...
- Bob ?

No. A reliable source.

You're near the top of the list for an
appointment to the Seventh Circuit.

- A federal judgeship ?
- Yes.

- You're kidding.
- No.

- I'm not high profile enough.
- You're black, and conservative.

And people whose business it is
to know know about you.

- What was that about ?
- What ?

Encouraging Lucca
to rip into Peyton.

I didn't encourage her.

I just said that we should take
her opinion into account.

Jeffrey Peyton makes sense
for this firm, Liz.

He brings in top draw clients.

Yeah, and he's a member
of the Historical Law Society.

I knew it ! Liz bringing politics
into this in a way that's not...

No politics is in this.

And since when did you
become a Republican ?

I'm trying not to let politics get in
the way of moving the firm forward.

And this is our first hire
since our fresh start.

So I am having
a second look, okay ?

So I guess we are back to...
Who are we ?

I don't think we ever left it.

But you do agree we should be
looking ahead to the future.

Yeah, a future where
Trump wins in 2020.

No. I see what you're doing.

These associates you're trying
to hire and this partner ?

You wanna bring in
more conservative voices.

We're hiring
a matrimonial attorney, Liz.

It shouldn't make a difference
what his politics are.

This is about the makeup of the
firm, this is exactly who we are.

- I thought you wanted a fresh start.
- I do.

But as Audre Lorde said,
"The master's tools"

"will never dismantle
the master's house."

You have access,

any single fucking tool will dismantle
the master's house.

Crady Burckhardt,
I was Tony Mundy's editor.

And at the time of his death, what
story was Mister Mundy working on ?

An investigative piece

about Avery Ward using
defective building materials

that were responsible
for three people dying in a fire.

And did this story suggest
there was criminal negligence ?

- Objection ! Calls for speculation.
- It doesn't matter. Let it go.

Sustained.

Mister Burckhardt, do you
recognize this thumb drive ?

It's a recording Tony Mundy made of
a call he received from Avery Ward.

Ask the recording be introduced in
the evidence and played for the jury.

Objection ! Until such time as it
can be authenticated by an expert...

Stipulate to authenticity,
Your Honor.

Unusual point of agreement.
Play the tape.

Do you think the jury wants to sit
through an expert witness ?

You lying motherfucker,
if you publish this shit,

so help me God I'm going to run you
down in the street !

I'm gonna make you suffer so much
you're gonna beg me to finish you off.

Get it up. Look straight ahead.

Before you became an editor,
you were an investigative reporter.

- You ever receive any threats ?
- I did.

And would you ever notify the police
or hire private security ?

No.

And is that because in an
overwhelming number of cases,

such threats didn't warrant
being taken seriously ?

It's different now.
Kill all reporters.

- We're dying here, in Istanbul.
- Okay. Just a few questions.

Excuse me. Let your
colleague finish.

I'm sorry, dear.
Were you not finished ?

I'll defer to my colleague.

Are you familiar with articles
that ran in Der Spiegel

on a pedophile ring operating
out of Antwerp ?

No.

Would it surprise you to learn that
Tony Mundy was working on a piece

that tied that same pedophile ring to
certain political figures in Chicago ?

- Objection.
- I bet there's an objection.

You don't want me opening that door,
do you, Matan ?

- Your Honor ?
- Objection sustained.

When did you first become aware
of the ties

between the Cook County
State's Attorney's office

and a pedophile ring
in Antwerp ?

Objection, this is outrageous !

What's outrageous is that a prosecutor
would have one man murdered

and two innocent men
charged with the crime !

Your Honor, these are vile
and groundless allegations !

I don't do groundless,
Your Honor.

I said I would name the individual
responsible for this murder

and that is what I'm doing.

For God's sakes. Mister Blum, if you
have a question for the witness,

please ask it. If not, sit down.

When did you learn that it was
the prosecutor himself

who had Tony Mundy killed ?

- This is insane.
- Oh, is it, sir ? Is it ?

Look at this name. Is it yours ?

- Come on, I don't believe this crap.
- Okay. Just sit down.

Hello ?

Almost done.

Okay. Well, I tried.
That's supposed to be a bow.

- What ? Are we celebrating ?
- We are. We got a job.

What ? Congratulations.
What ?

Regional Director
of Veterans Affairs.

Well, regional as in
outside of Illinois ?

- Based in Chicago.
- What ? You can stay here ?

Yes, Missus McVeigh.

- Mister McVeigh.
- Yeah.

Well, you might decide
starting to take my name.

So, how did this come about ?

Someone recommended me.

Oh, my God.
It was them, wasn't it ?

- Can we just be happy for a minute ?
- Hans and Franz, your Safari buddies.

They're the ones
who recommended you ?

For the first time we will be
living here and working here.

And you can't even tell me because
you signed that fucking NDA.

Is it possible for you to get
past your hatred of them ?

Just tell me one thing, Kurt.
Why did it take them so long

to get you to the hospital ?
Was it because

they didn't wanna miss their baby
zebra barbecue that they scheduled ?

- Where is this coming from ?
- Their Instagram.

They forced you to sign an NDA,
and they're bragging to the world

about their exploits,
the great white hunters.

Diane, I'm taking this job.
It's a good job.

And I'll be doing what I think
is important,

and it allows us to be together,
and that trumps everything else.

- Don't use that word.
- More important than everything else.

You got to do better than that,
cookie, I can't keep carrying you.

It's you ! It's you !

Christ, another asshole
whose toy truck I sat on,

keep him the fuck
away from me.

- You're a Rindell, aren't you ?
- I had nothing to do with the...

You know how much I lost ?

My money went to your pocket,
you fucking Rindell.

- It was my father. It wasn't me.
- Gallo, she said it wasn't her.

- Take a fucking hike.
- This doesn't concern you.

Everything that happens in this
building concerns me, numb nuts.

Thank you.

So, you're a Rindell.

What, you changed your name
for your website ?

My mom's maiden name.

Better you should stick with Rindell.

Let's work on trial strategy.
Come on.

So what do I do, Joseph ?

Everyday, it's a gettin' closer

Goin' faster than a roller coaster

If I fight to take over
the divorce practice,

I have to put in even more hours.

Which takes me away from you
for even longer.

And I love being with you.

Isn't that odd ?

I never thought I'd be
one of those women.

But here I am,

talking like the world
revolves around you.

God, you are beautiful.

It's gotta be genetic, right ?

It's the curse of the working mother.

I feel like I'm missing out on
something when I'm with you

and I feel

physically ill
when I'm away from you.

But...

When I saw that lawyer today,
I thought

I could run motherfucking
rings around him.

So more time at work
and less time with you...

Well less time at work and I forget
about the partner track.

Which I've worked my ass off for.

It's not just about ambition, either.
I mean, how do I pay for schools ?

And college, and piano lessons ?

You have to give me a sign, Joseph.

Do I spend more time at work or...

Hi, Liz. Yeah, sorry, it's late.

I decided I want
the matrimonial spot.

Yeah, I know.

OK. Boseman, tomorrow. Got it.

Thanks.

Everyday seems a little longer,

Every way, love's a little stronger,

Come what may, do you ever long for

True love from me ?

Everyday, it's a gettin' faster,

Everyone says go ahead and ask her,

Love like yours will surely
come my way.

- You're home early.
- Hey. I thought I'd surprise you.

You look sexy.
Are you going on a date ?

Yeah, two women I met, very nice.

- I hope they can cook.
- And clean.

Okay. Now we got the repartee out
of the way. What's up, handsome ?

It's a cocktail party for work.

What, a "no spouses ?"

I thought you wouldn't wanna come,
it's a Republican fundraiser.

- Oh, I'm coming.
- Diane.

I wouldn't miss it.
Who are you raising funds for ?

You won't like it.
Eric and Don are speaking.

Are you kidding ? Eric and Don ?

I have lived my life for this moment.

What shall I wear ?

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan, a stately
pleasure dome decree.

You said we were gonna
go to your office.

This is my office. Don't worry,
I'm not gonna fuck you.

Zang Wei, where are
the orange pills ?

Okay. Let's talk strategy.

As attorneys,
we are not finders of fact.

We are tellers of story. You gonna
write this down or what ?

We take the evidence

and we craft it into a coherent
narrative for the jury, I get it.

You don't get it. Who said
anything about evidence ?

- We base the story on the evidence.
- No.

We base the evidence on the story.
We prove what helps us,

we disprove what hurts us.

Whoever tells the best story
goes home with cash and prizes.

You wanna make eighty grand a year,

eating dinner off a cardboard box
at midnight,

you go by what they teach you
in law school.

But you wanna make yourself useful
enough to be worth something,

you go by me. Shit.
Go by your father.

- My father is in prison.
- I got news for you. So are you.

The difference is, your father knew
what it was like to be free.

Open your hand.

That is a Fentanyl lollipop.

Tomorrow morning, 9:30 AM,
just before court,

I want you to suck enough
dope off it

so you don't look like a teacher's aide
at Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow.

- Is that you with Roy Cohn ?
- Yep.

That's me, Roger Stone
and Roy Cohn.

That's who's been talking to you,
Mary Catherine.

All the words come from my mouth,

but the wisdom comes from him.

THE GOOD FIGHT SHORT

The Rosenbergs were Russian spies,
they never had a prayer.

Roy Cohn helped convict them,
he made sure they got the chair.

He and Joe McCarthy
set the red scare all ablaze.

Said the State Department
was all communists and gays.

Someone said
"Have you No Decency ?"

Roy Cohn said,
"No, not really."

Roy Cohn came to party,
in his heart he loved to win.

If you are indicted,
you're invited come on in.

Because Roy Cohn came to party.

Back in New York City
where his list of clients grew,

defended a young Trump,
taught him everything he knew.

Wise guys and the bagmen,
financiers and millionaires.

Everybody breaks the rules
and no one fucking cares.

Truth is the world
just keeps spinning.

But who needs the truth
when you're winning ?

Roy Cohn came to party,
in his heart he loved to win.

If you are indicted,
you're invited come on in.

Because Roy Cohn came to party.

Roy Cohn came to party.

He spread his arms out
like a sheltering sky.

See, he taught us that there
could be beauty in a well-told lie.

He showed us you could ruin people's
lives because it served your interests,

and deny ever having done it.

They could accuse you.

They could offer up evidence.

He didn't deny.
He didn't explain.

And you never, ever apologize.

He was the River, Mary Quota,

he was our Euphrates,
the cradle of all we hold dear.

You know, he might have used up
his physical body,

but his spirit lives on in me,

in the White House.

And if you let him in you,

you walk in the court tomorrow
morning with dope-pinned eyeballs,

a wet pussy,
and Roy Cohn in your heart,

there's no one on earth
who can touch you.

Remember, just suck on this
for thirty seconds,

and then seek and destroy.

Let's not make a big fuss, okay ?

Me ? I'm just here to be
a supportive spouse.

The Senate is the place to start
this counter-revolution.

- That's why I'm running.
- Counter-revolution ?

- That sounds dangerous.
- Only for the democrats.

Donald Trump is the first truly
pro-life president we've ever had.

That's what matters to the base.
And I'll take energized evangelicals

over freeloading immigrants
every time.

- And I probably shouldn't say this.
- Oh, go ahead.

I love the Mexican people.
They're extremely hardworking

and they're not PC at all.

Some of the best jokes about
Mexicans are told by Mexicans.

Yes. Such as ?

What does a Mexican fireman
call his two kids ?

Jos-A and Jos-B.

You have to delete it.

But it's not like I'm doing
anything with it.

The first truly pro-life president.

Diane, he'd been drinking.
It was a party.

And if we were at Goebbels' party,

you really think it would be
wrong to record ?

I would. We were guests.

Delete File

Back together again.

- Diane.
- Oh, I'm sorry.

- Do you have a minute ?
- Oh, sure.

I feel like the kid being held after
school. Am I doing something wrong ?

You're hitting too hard.

Oh, my God. I'm sorry.

We strive to release the enemy's
aggression. Neutralize the conflict.

- Defend, not destroy.
- I didn't realize I was doing that.

- Harmony with all beings.
- Oh, yeah. And the universe.

Okay ? Can I adjust you ?

Focus on the center.

The tanden.

Forget about everything else
troubling you.

Your work, politics, the world.

George Soros, the Jewish conspiracy
to control the media.

- Excuse me ?
- Focus on the spirit. The key.

Yes, but what did you just say ?

Forget all the other things
assaulting you.

- Such as ?
- Politics.

- The Jewish conspiracy ?
- Especially that.

Okay.

You didn't do it, did you ?
The lollipop.

No.

What good little girl of mine.
Give it back.

No, I'm gonna save it
for the weekend.

- Taylor Swift concert ?
- Oh, yeah. How did you guess ?

You're quite a tease, aren't you ?

I'll dance, but I won't dance sexy.

What an embarrassment
you are to your father.

How do you know the defendant
Chris Coleman, Mister Howell ?

Oh, we both did time at Danville.

And did Mister Coleman ever confide
in you while incarcerated ?

Yeah. He said Avery Ward offered him
50.000 dollars to kill Tony Mundy.

No further questions.

I'm looking at your record,
Mister Howell.

And you spend more time
in jail than out of it.

Born under a bad sign.
What can I say ?

As a repeat offender, you were looking
at the possibility of life imprisonment

and yet, well, the deal you struck
with the prosecutor

lets you off with time served.

I feel like I've been
given a second chance.

Well, by my count, is closer
to a twenty-third.

Mister Blum, enough
with the vocalizations.

Apologies, Your Honor. It was
an involuntary reaction.

Isn't it a fact, Mister Howell, that
two individuals you testified against

had their convictions overturned
on appeal ?

Those convictions were vacated
for reasons wholly unrelated to the...

Your Honor, if the ASA wishes
to testify, let's swear him in.

I stopped, I tried.

Hey, Mister Brody, sit down.
You're not the witness.

So Mister Brody
didn't re-file these cases,

even after your claims
the defendants confessed ?

- I don't know anything about that.
- Doesn't add to your credibility.

How many times did Matan Brody
visit you in prison, sir ?

- Five or six times.
- That's a lot of visits.

Not really.

Well, how many times did your
mother visit you in prison ?

- Objection !
- Sustained.

I guess that's a sensitive point.
I'm sorry.

At any of your meetings
with Mister Brody,

did he ever mention covering up
his involvement in the murder ?

- My God, Your Honor.
- It's a simple question.

- Objection sustained !
- There was no objection.

- Objection ?
- Sustained.

- Request a side bar, Your Honor.
- What for ?

I have evidence that Mister Brody
may be covering up his own crime.

Your Honor, I want Mister Blum
held in contempt.

Approach.

When I signal you, become outraged.

All right, Mister Blum,
what's your evidence ?

These, these are just photocopies
of takeout menus.

There are photocopies of takeout
menus on both sides.

At such times, this provides proof
of Mister Brody's guilt.

I would ask that the court
admit this into evidence.

The hell are you talking about ?

- This is wrong, Your Honor. Wrong.
- I don't understand. What do you...

This is good evidence.
And it is being overruled, willy-nilly.

- Willy-nilly.
- You two have gone insane.

Step back. Get out of my case.
Take this and go back to your seats.

Get outta here. Please. Oh, my God.

Shake your head.
Miscarriage of justice.

I want the department.
I wanna run divorce law.

- You're a fourth year, Lucca.
- Yes.

And that's who you need
in the position.

These men we've been interviewing,
they finished their climb.

- They're looking for a place to coast.
- I don't think that's...

Yes, it is true. Look at the drop-off
in their representation.

None of their firms are fighting
to keep them.

I'll give everything I have
to this job.

You just had a baby, Lucca.

And he has made me even more
aggressive. More a fighter.

Okay. Look. We should interview you
like we're interviewing anyone.

That's all I ask.
Thank you for your time.

Oh, you're lining up
your women's army.

No. I just want what's
best for the firm.

Bullshit.

Lucca. Good start. But Jeffrey Payton
is a rainmaker.

So unless you can show that you are,
too, he's got you beat.

Hello ? If this is Sales, I should warn
you, I can out-talk you and I'm bored.

It's Lucca, Francesca.

What's wrong ?
Why is Joseph crying ?

Oh, I told him about the Supreme Court,
and he was devastated. Hang on.

- One second, Francesca.
- What do you need ?

Can you get me some background
on the divorce lawyer

we're thinking of hiring ?
Jeffrey Payton ?

Sure. Standard background
or dirt background ?

Just standard. No. Dirt.

- No problem.
- Sorry, Francesca.

So, hey, you were talking
about your book group and...

Yeah, we're reading The Red Tent.

You thought there might be some
divorce business there ?

So much, so much. Hey, why
don't I arrange a sip-and-see ?

- A...
- Sip-and-see.

They come and see the baby, and sip
mint juleps until they're drunk.

- Actually, I was thinking...
- I'm gonna call everyone.

Okay. We're done here.
Ten AM tomorrow morning.

- Unless I decide on early retirement.
- All rise.

We need to discuss defense
witnesses. You haven't listed any.

Yeah. But yeah. Take my arm.
I'm temporarily blind.

- What ?
- I'm blind. Take my arm.

What part of that doesn't make sense ?
I'm gonna need you to drive me home.

I will if you need me to,
but what about your associates ?

Not reliable. I only keep them around
because, occasionally,

I like to watch them fuck.

Well, you've never driven
a Rolls before, have you ?

- No. No, I haven't.
- Okay. It's towards you and down.

But be gentle, you know ?
Like it's your girlfriend's snatch.

Oh, is that supposed to be a secret ?

- Oh, he is beyond cute !
- Oh, he's gorgeous.

My husband encouraged me to sleep
with his hedge fund manager.

Can he use it against me that I did ?

Illinois is a no-fault state, so,
it doesn't matter what you did.

Mom and dad split, and I don't care.

My husband says I have
to sell my clothes.

He's just trying to bully you.

You should get your husband
to talk to your lawyer.

But your lawyer's a wimp,
Nicole. Hire Lucca.

- Are you divorce lawyer ?
- I am.

Can I get your card ?

Okay. Where are we ?
This isn't your house.

- Honk twice.
- Why ?

- How many, Alphonse ?
- Five.

- Time's right ?
- Yeah, Roland.

Here you go.

- Trust, but verify.
- What was that about ?

- I gave Reagan that line.
- What are those boxes ?

Hospice care kits.
One of them is for you.

Wait, they're narcotics for people
who are terminal ?

Hate to break it to you, kid.
We're all terminal.

Okay. There's the codeine,
there's the tincture of cannabis.

There it is. Okay. This.

- You need water with that ?
- Oh, no.

You don't take these with water.

Oh, God.

When are we going to discuss
trial strategies ?

I need a quick shot first. Oh...

- Who's that ?
- Candy.

Candy. Oh, funny. Candy.

Sweet, sweet Candy,
my little minx.

Now this is... Well, she's a Rindell.

And she is in need of assistance.

One shot. Come on. Come on,
you had a good day. Drink.

- Is she drinking ?
- She is.

- Yeah.
- Are you a lawyer ?

Candy likes lawyers.

- To be that smart and that hot.
- Yeah, not to mention that cold.

She set her father up with the feds.
Sent him to prison for life.

Did she really ?

Oh, she may look like a delicate
flower on the surface,

but underneath
she's a fucking assassin.

- Come on. One more, and you're done.
- We're not gonna talk strategy ?

Yes, we are. You wanna hear
my strategy for tomorrow ?

Come on, show me
the bottom of this glass.

See ? See, you can be fun.

- You have no idea who I am.
- I'm getting an inkling.

Okay, you wanna know my plan
for tomorrow ? Improvise.

You see, facts. Pointless.
You're there to paint a picture.

Like you have a book report.

I tell you, "Oh, I got some facts
I wanna share with you."

What is your mind doing ?
It shuts down. It's homework.

But I say to you, "Oh, you won't
believe who got caught"

"fucking her husband's urologist !"

You're all ears.

Stories beat facts every time.

- Hi. Your alley is free.
- OK.

Yes !

Are these your trial notes ?

What do you think ? Hey !

Oh, yeah. Oh, yes. These are very
complete. Quite incisive.

- Can I have those back please ?
- I just need a little more light.

- Oh, my God.
- Isn't that freeing ?

It's like an Irish fable of scattering
your troubles to the full wind.

No.

Diane.

- Tara. What are you...
- The reporter called me.

Wait. Let's just discuss this
in my office.

A reporter called me.
She asked me to verify the story,

the story that Trump asked me
to have an abortion.

How did she come by
that information ?

- I don't know.
- Did you leak it ?

No.

I thought maybe this was
your way of breaking my NDA.

Absolutely not.
Tara, I had no part of this.

You have any idea who did ?

Who else have you told ?

A bunch of people.

Tara, I'm so sorry.

This is supremely shitty.

Do you want the result
on that Jeffrey Payton check ?

Is there anything interesting ?

Depends what you think
is interesting.

I think you'll see that just
in the last 24 hours,

I brought in three new divorce cases,

all involving assets of over
23 million dollars.

And Jeffrey Payton has six clients
he's bringing with him.

But only to handle divorces.
On all other matters,

they'll run litigation through
Mister Payton's prior firm.

Mine intend to bring all their
litigation needs to Reddick-Boseman.

And can I say, I am not fettered
by previous political obligations.

What does that mean ?

Mister Payton joined
the Historical Law Society.

Seriously, are we gonna bring
this down to politics ?

Okay. Let's just keep politics
out of this, Lucca.

Everyone's taking his memberships
into consideration.

Yes. It's just there was one
additional point.

Mister Payton was one of the attorneys
who prepped Brett Kavanaugh.

Your Honor, you cannot
allow this to continue...

All right, all right.

The judge is going to speak now.
Let the judge speak.

Mister Blum, I'm going to let you
call your rebuttal witness.

However, I'm not gonna call in the jury

until I hear the thrust
of this testimony.

Shut up ! Shut up !

Shut up, both of you !
Shut your mouths. Shut the hell up !

Oh, God.

In a week, I'm going to Santa Fe,

where I'll be visiting a spa.

And I'll be wearing nothing
but a towel and a mud mask.

Mister Blum, you may call
your rebuttal witness.

Inspirational words, Your Honor.

I call Miss Enid Blighton.

- What are you doing ?
- Just watch.

- No. No, this is not a witness.
- Mister Blum.

Yes, Your Honor.

Miss Blighton, we've heard
from a convict named David Howell.

Do you know him ?

Yes. He was my boyfriend
for three long years.

Now did you ever hear him mention
the prosecutor, Matan Brody ?

Yeah. He said Matan was
his get-out-of-jail free card.

Your Honor, I ask to confer
with co-counsel.

- Yeah, I'm almost done here.
- It's a matter of some importance.

- You're suborning perjury.
- No.

I am neutralizing a damaging
witness. What's your next point ?

You either get her to walk back
her testimony,

say it was a case of mistaken
identity or something,

or I'm going to the judge.

Okay. So here's where the
training wheels come off.

You go anywhere near that judge,

and I make one phone call
to my boy in the police department.

You know what happens then ?

Simultaneous raids of your office,
apartment, car,

one of which is sure to turn up that
hospice care box you took from me.

I didn't take anything from...

I'm guessing possession
of a deluxe assortment

from Harry and David's dope of the
month club won't go down too well

with the disciplinary committee
of the bar association.

So to avoid that sad eventuality,
Mary Elizabeth, shut the fuck up !

My name is Maia.

DON'T LOSE YOUR OUTRAGE

Mister Ward, did it surprise you

that you were being made
the fall guy for this murder ?

It surprises me anytime someone
in a position of public trust,

like the prosecutor,
does something dishonest.

But, I guess, if you're capable
of having a man murdered,

you're also capable of accusing
somebody else of doing it.

Thank you. I have nothing further.

Anything, prosecutor ?

Nothing for this witness,
Your Honor.

Witness, you're excused.

- Your Honor, if I may.
- Wait.

Your Honor, I... Well, Mister Ward
is my witness.

- Yes. And I have questions for him.
- She's right. Ask your questions.

Mister Ward, hi.

Chris Coleman does security
for you, is that correct ?

Yes.

Has he ever served as a driver
for your daughter Samantha ?

He may have on occasion. Why ?

Well, did you ever ask him to do
anything other than drive

on behalf of your daughter
Samantha ?

- Not that I recall.
- Let me see if I can help you recall.

Now your daughter, she was dating
an individual named Ahmed Nassif

at one point, was she not ?

Your Honor, I think my co-counsel may
not be working off current information.

- May I be allowed to confer with her ?
- I'd like to proceed, Your Honor.

- We can confer later.
- Go for it.

Did you ever ask Mister Coleman

if he could arrange
to have Ahmed killed ?

I believe my co-counsel may be
suffering from acute hypoglycemia.

I would ask for a brief recess so I can
force feed her a candy bar.

- I don't need a candy bar, Your Honor.
- Counsel, approach.

All right. Here's what's
gonna happen now.

I'm declaring a mistrial because
I have to. The state will re-file,

and I'll make sure
that it's before me,

so that we may, once again, try these
two defendants together.

- Your Honor.
- No, no, no.

You two are obviously working
at cross-purposes now.

And I know, Miss...
What's your current name ?

- Rindell.
- Yes, of course.

I know you did this because you think
your client deserves a separate trial.

Well, no such luck.

Your Honor, my client can't get a fair
trial if we're with Mister Blum.

I suggest you visit the court officer
so he can stamp your tough shit ticket,

Miss Rindell, because that's
what we're doing.

The two of you are joined
at the hip. So get used to it.

CRIMINAL COURT

I want you to see this. See, this is
the house I used to live in.

- And this is the house I live in now.
- What the fuck do I care ?

This is wrong.

A few votes for Jeffrey Payton.

How many votes for Lucca Quinn ?

And Lucca is our new head
of matrimonial law.

Hey, Jeffrey. I wanted
to get to you right away.

It doesn't look like it'll work out.

Yeah. I know. I'm sorry.

But, anyway...

Am I still being shortlisted
for the judgeship ?

So you won.

We all won.

No. I don't think so.

Jeffrey was the smarter choice
for the firm.

Lucca was the smartest choice
for you.

I told Lucca she needed new clients,
she got three in one night.

And the partners didn't care
about that.

They cared about the dirt that
she dug up on him. Kavanaugh, huh ?

Showed what she was willing to do.

Play dirty, manipulate, backstab.

I thought you liked that.

So we answered the question...

- Who are we ?
- Yup. Welcome to the Thunderdome.

Pornstar Tara Strokes denies reports
of having an abortion

at Donald Trump's direction

I'm sorry.
