Original subtitles

A journalist was shot and killed.

The state will refile and try these two defendants together.

My client can't get a fair trial if...

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

The two of you are joined at the hip.

He finds his facts on Fox and Friends. He's rotten to the core.

It's like this nightmare never ends we can't take anymore !

Stop hurting us, you're hurting us. Our souls are black and blue.

Stop hurting us, you're hurting us. We need to know what's true !

We need to know what's true.

What's true.

I know. It gets me every time.

No human should starve. No baby should suffer.

If this won't touch the heartstrings of Trump supporters,

I don't know what will. Let's hold up on the questions. Sorry. Harry, yes ?

This is such great work.

Do you think we can get this on Chris Hayes's show ?

We're posting it on YouTube later today.

And our plan is to even take an ad out on Fox.

I didn't see anything in there about single-payer healthcare.

We couldn't touch on everything. If we did, it'd be an eight-hour video.

- Do you feel... - Single-pair isn't just another issue.

- It's the issue. - No. The issue is global warming.

The debate is over on that. We have to...

Re-edit it !

- Follow me. - What ?

- Just follow me. - Where ?

Close.

Re-edit it !

Do you want a mission ?

- Do I want... - A mission.

I don't know what that means.

You have two options. You could go back in there

and I'll make you the co-chair of the subcommittee on bake sales.

And every week, you'll argue over some new outrage of Trump's,

or you could do something.

I'm looking for people who are sick of just bitching and moaning,

people who are sick of screaming at the news.

I'm looking for people who are ready to take the fight to Trump.

DO SOMETHING 4-400 N. DOLTON

Sorry, ten-month-old.

Sir ?

- Lucca, Liz is looking for you. - For me ? Do we have a meeting ?

- Mister Blum ? Blum. - Yeah. What floor, ma'am ?

- Twenty-third. - Is this where I'm going ?

It is. Yes.

The United Negro College Fund have a bake sale ?

That painting is fucking hideous. So, where are we doing this ?

This way.

- So, listen, Mary Elizabeth. - Maia Rindell.

Unless this judge has a heart attack, you and I are stuck with one another.

- We're co-councils. So don't fuck me. - Oh, God.

- Why are we stopping ? - Well, this is me.

- Here ? - Yes.

- On this chair ? - Well, you got one too.

Did I volunteer to man the phones at a teen suicide hotline ?

- Where is your office ? - We're pressed for space.

Oh, my fucking God.

How can anyone take you seriously ?

How can you take yourself seriously ?

You work out of your bedroom next to a rotten pile of smoked salmon.

Who's that ? Why does she have an office ?

- She's a third year too. - Excuse me, miss.

Little Maia here can't get through the day without masturbating.

She's a little self-conscious about doing it out here

and I was wondering, would you be willing to trade places ?

Would you shut up ? Please, just shut the fuck up.

I need you to back off. Please back off and sit in one place.

- Oh, good. Lucca, come in. - I'm sorry, Missus Reddick.

- I didn't know we had a meeting. - No. We didn't. We don't.

I just wanted to... Come, have a seat.

- Yeah. Sure. - Can I get you anything ? A bagel ?

No. Actually, I've got some Cheerios.

- So, how are things in matrimonial ? - Good. Yeah.

Five new clients, and thank you for pushing me for the job.

No problem. I wanted a familiar face in there. You know, someone that...

Anyway, I have a divorce referral for you.

- Great. Who ? - Me.

- You ? - Yes.

- I'm sorry. - Don't be.

It's a long time coming. We've had our tensions and barely even...

Anyway, I don't wanna bore you. So, let's just... Yeah.

I'm sorry. My diaper bag looks like my... work bag.

Okay. So just a few basic questions.

Yes. I make more than my husband. We have a prenup.

Remember my son Malcolm ?

I want sole custody and I expect this to be amicable.

Is that what he expects ?

Is that what your husband expects, for it to be amicable ?

I don't... I don't know. I haven't told him yet.

- I think you should. - Yes.

Yeah. I should.

I will.

Great.

- What is that stuff ? - It's poison.

- Try it. - No, thanks.

Who's this asshole ?

State of Illinois versus Warden Coleman.

Put it on the table. Here you go, kid.

I'm Spencer Zschau, the assistant state's attorney

now assigned to the Mundy murder.

- What happened to Matan ? - You mean the killer ?

- What are you, a comedian ? - No. I saw you in court.

I have the killer's name inside this envelope. It's very impressive.

That's why I'm on this case.

You got into Matan's head, you'll find it hard to get into mine.

- Wanna bet ? - What's your plea offer ?

Well, you should know our clients intend to stick together.

Your client paid for Tony Mundy's murder.

And yours was a trigger man.

So, twenty-five years for yours and twenty for yours.

Get the fuck out of here. What, you call that an offer ?

I call that the best you'll get.

But no need to compel discovery.

- Oh, fuck. - I'm sorry.

Those must be takeout menus. My mistake.

I assume you'll be getting us a real discovery by end of day ?

That's a definitely good assumption.

You probably don't recognize me, Mister Blum.

My father was Alvin Zschau.

Is that supposed to mean something to me ?

Federal Judge, Seventh Circuit.

You fed lies and smears to your buddies at the press to get him to resign.

Never heard of him. It sounds like a made-up name.

I've waited for this moment for a long time.

Meeting you face to face, in order to say I'll see you in court.

That's not good.

He's gonna keep the discovery from us until the last minute.

Yeah. I'll call for a motion to compel, because now I'm pissed.

Full of shit. Thinking he can come after me.

- What are you doing ? - Taking off my pants.

- Why ? - Morphine suppository.

Again ?

- Hey. - Hey.

- Are we out of vanilla yogurt ? - Yeah. I'll get some tomorrow.

- Want me to make you some eggs ? - No. I'm good.

- Bad day at work ? - No.

Ian.

I think we need to consider giving ourselves a break.

From ?

Each other.

You mean a separation ?

No.

- I'm sorry. - Are you ?

Ian, this isn't anybody's fault.

And I hope that we can stay civil for Malcolm.

I've talked to my lawyer. I told her this does not have to get ugly.

You've talked to a lawyer ?

Well, I work in an office filled with them.

Well then, I guess I better get one too.

Come on in. You're the last.

It's a temporary space. A benefactor loaned it to us.

My name is Valerie Peyser. I worked for five years

in the Obama White House in Oppo research.

Three weeks ago, Henry Roberts raised six million dollars in dark money

to fund an off-the-books Guerrilla Oppo Operation.

He asked me to run it.

I spent the last few weeks visiting activist meetings,

like the ones where I found you all.

They have been, to say the least, disheartening.

Nobody seems to be willing to do what is necessary.

And what's that ?

For those of you who don't know, this is Rachelle Max from DLE Strategies.

Whatever it takes.

Democrats talk like Trump is the enemy, but they don't act like it.

They act like this is the nineties and they're working under the old rules.

The new rules are these:

move fast, be smart,

attack, lie, don't get caught.

Machiavelli wrote The Prince for the rulers.

Well, we're rewriting it for us.

When I gave you my card, I asked you if you wanted a mission.

Well, this is it.

Trump's current approval rating.

If we wanna defeat him in 2020, it has to be this...

Nine points. That's your mission.

How do we lose nine points ?

The Trump administration is increasing the level of cyanide

allowed in school lunches in elementary schools.

Critics of the change say it poisons innocent children,

but the Secretary of Education says the increase will act as a deterrent...

- You alright ? - Yeah, the news.

I know. It's a nightmare.

Are you still working with the Democratic Committee, Liz ?

No. I was too radical. Why ?

- Anyone call you about something ? - What ?

Let me get a little deeper into it first. Make sure it's real.

Here they are.

So, we're all here ? What do you need, Maia ?

You told me a year ago that if I wanted anything at this firm,

I have to ask for it.

True.

I want an office.

Actually, Maia, that's not managing partner issue.

- Why don't we talk downstairs ? - I'd rather we talk here.

Oh, well. Maia, the issue here is space. We wish we had more.

We're growing. And we hope that all associates,

even second years, will have an office.

I'm a third year.

I try not to make a fuss, but Jenna Diamond...

She was given an office even though she joined the firm six months after me.

She was working the Kathleen case. She needed the space.

- And I'm working with Roland Blum. - You are ?

Yes. He's my co-council on the Mundy murder.

- I didn't know that. - He doesn't have a firm.

So, we have to come here to discuss strategy.

And it is embarrassing to work at my hot desk.

Okay. Give us a few hours to discuss this, Maia.

Thank you.

She's using Roland Blum to get an office.

She still has a point.

If we give her an office, we'll have 20 associates pounding on our door.

- Will you excuse me ? - Yeah, but...

These are the papers from your husband's lawyers.

Wow, that was quick. Okay. What does he want ?

To void your prenup,

retain ownership of the house, full custody of Malcolm.

Are you kidding me ?

He also wants a full accounting of Reddick-Boseman's books,

claiming you hid money.

He's going to war. He's overreaching.

No judge is ever going to agree to this.

Well, there's an exception in the prenup in the case of adultery.

- He's charging me with adultery ? - Yes.

With who ?

- Diane ? - No.

Oh, God.

THE GOOD FIGHT Season 3, episode 3

Fuck You

Congratulations. Look at you. Captain Kirk.

Thank you. I plan to rule with a velvet glove.

- Interesting design choice. - Yeah.

- Somebody left it here as a greeting. - Well, I don't think that...

What ?

Yeah, okay. I'd take that down. Congratulations.

Mister Cain ?

I'm a little busy, what do you need ?

You're running for a federal judgeship.

Excuse me ?

That was Kevin Jordan from CPS Systems.

I know him from my dad's campaign against one of his Republican judges.

It was just a friendly meeting.

And I wouldn't have those three resumes there,

because the partners could get the wrong idea.

Look, here's the thing. I haven't told the partners yet,

because my sponsors said I need to vet a consultant first.

Don't worry about me. I don't care.

By the way, don't hire Lanny.

He hasn't won a campaign since his divorce, and Topher drinks.

He thinks everything can be solved with an op-ed.

Ask him how many other clients he's representing.

This is bullshit !

- There was no adultery ? - No, not at all.

Good. So, I'm wondering if maybe you should hire another lawyer.

No, why ?

Because this will get very personal very fast.

We didn't sleep with each other. This will not get personal.

Well, did you ever have sexual relations after your marriage ?

No.

What ?

What ?

What ? No. That wasn't... That wasn't sex.

That would depend on how you define sex, Liz.

Wait. What are you talking about ? Wait, that thing ? No, no.

No, the other one. The bathroom.

Yeah, but we weren't... We weren't divorced yet so...

Anyway, that's why I think you should get another lawyer.

No, I feel better about keeping this in-house.

Okay. I don't wanna put either of you on the stand,

so I just need you to both sign affidavits.

Your Honor, thank you for hearing our motion.

We bring it with utmost reluctant spacing as we ought,

a blatant Brady violation on the part of Mister Zschaun.

Mister Zschau.

If I may, a violation made more egregious

by the fact we're only six days from trial.

We're in full compliance with the rules of discovery, Your Honor.

- I brought the discovery over myself. - He did, Your Honor.

And let me show you what he brought.

A Luger. A Mauser.

Your Honor, excuse me...

The sidearms of the Wehrmacht, Your Honor,

along with a note which reads, "To the kike..."

"And the dyke."

"More Zyklon B, please, send in the cline."

Is this your attempt at humor, Mister Zschau ?

This isn't my attempt at anything, Your Honor.

This is a total fabrication by mister...

It's what we always hear from holocaust deniers, Your Honor.

- I'm not a holocaust denier, your... - You know it's hard to be a Jew.

So many times I've asked myself, why do they hate us ?

Good job.

Yeah. So where are going with this, your fucking hot desk ?

No. Winners, they work in here.

Mister Boseman and Miss Reddick both swear

that there were no sexual relations after their divorce.

So I believe this court can easily decide in favor of the respondent.

Unfortunately for Miss Quinn, my client would like to call a witness.

Your Honor, Mister Peyton was interviewed for a job by our firm

and we rejected him, so he has a chip on his shoulder about our firm.

My guess is that's why the petitioner hired this lawyer.

He had an added incentive, is that right ?

- It is. - Okay.

Do you have a witness who can refute these affidavits, counselor ?

- We do, Your Honor. - Then let's go. I'm all ears.

You are going to make a great federal judge, Julius.

In my opinion... And the best way to campaign, op-eds.

All we need is the right topic. Hot, but not too hot.

Got it.

By the way, how many other clients are you representing ?

Do you need op-ed ideas ?

How many clients should he have ?

Five, maybe less. How many does he have ?

Thirteen.

Do me a favor, meet with the next one. I don't know what to ask.

- You want me to consult ? - No. I...

Yes.

Okay.

Detective Hedren, you were assigned to a protective detail for Adrian Boseman

on the night of May sixteenth, were you not ?

I was. Nine days earlier, he was shot during the commission of a hate crime.

We were being cautious.

Could you take us through the events of that night ?

I saw Mister Boseman and Missus Lawrence pull out of the parking garage

of their office building at eight forty-five PM.

They drove to Mister Boseman's apartment building on Lakeshore Drive

at approximately nine ten.

And approximately what time did they leave ?

They didn't. Missus Lawrence alone left at twelve twenty.

That would place them together at Adrian Boseman's apartment

for three hours ?

I'm just curious, who was with the child during all this time ?

- My son was with my husband. - The current one ?

Correct.

- Miss Quinn, anything from you ? - Yes.

Detective, I assume it was your CO, Commander Lawrence,

who gave you the assignment to spy on his wife ?

- Objection as to spy. - Sustained.

Doesn't it strike you as odd that your protective detail

was assigned a day after Mister Boseman's assailant was arrested ?

I'm gonna interrupt you right there. I understand what you're trying to do.

But the reasons for Captain Lawrence's surveillance has no bearing

on whether what was discovered was true or not.

What was the reason for the three hours in the apartment ?

I'd like to hear from both on that question.

So unfortunately, now you two have to testify.

It was caretaking, you guys, not sex.

For three hours ?

I had just been released from the hospital, I needed help and...

- What help ? What did Liz do ? - Laundry.

- Well, how many loads ? - Oh, Christ's sake.

Okay, okay, Jay will look into this.

My guess is Jeffrey will try to dig up inconsistencies in your story.

So I'm afraid I'll have to witness prep you... Both.

Tomorrow.

- Our clients did it. - Did you have any doubts ?

- Yeah, I guess I did. - The clients always do it.

The only difference is some are easier to get off.

Well, I didn't expect your client to open a Cayman account for my client

and pay him fifty thousand for the murder.

That's not what that evidence says.

Roland, it's just the two of us. It is what it says, they have us.

No, that is a...

Yes. It is a record for a Cayman account.

- To my client, for 50.000 dollars. - Yes, but it's not for a murder.

To pay for an escort in the Caymans when my client planned to go there.

That's why it was so secretive, it was about sex. Not about murder.

Oh, you make my brain hurt.

You tell a competing story, you make the climax bigger.

When they talk about a payoff for murder, you talk about a payoff

for three-way sex because that's what it's about, sex.

Unprotected, anal intercourse with underage Cambodians.

Two sad, stunted men, both abused when they were children,

play out twisted fantasies of defiling child-like innocence

just as they themselves were once defiled.

It is not gonna work.

Don't tell me what's gonna work, princess.

We tell the story and they buy the story.

Okay. Okay. Tomorrow in court.

Tomorrow.

I think I understand what you're going through but I'm missing something...

Look, the problem is Trump's base.

It's solid, you'll never get it below thirty-eight percent.

- Because of the religious rights ? - And the mid-western support.

Even the mid-terms didn't undercut the electoral college superiority.

So, what do we do ?

You need to hit his online infrastructure.

- What do you mean ? - He has troll farms in several cities.

Every time there's a slightest drop in Trump's polls,

the farms pump up the fake news.

She's right, almost every bit of the fake news

shaping the opinions of the religious right comes out of these farms.

And what are these again ?

The Good Fight Short

In a city with a name I don't know how to pronounce

With a lot of fake Facebook and Twitter accounts,

In a windowless room lit by the glow of a screen

There's a weaponized information garbage machine.

Making up stories that look like news

About abortion and guns, and immigration, and Jews

Pleasantly delighted,

We're so easily divided,

Working for a Russian troll farm.

It's a full-time job keeping up with the feed.

You refresh and you read, you refresh and you read.

There's a post from a friend, you let down your guard,

But it's just bait on a hook and you bite down hard.

You like it so you like it and your friends like you,

And now everyone likes it so it must be true.

You move on undaunted

But you did just what they wanted,

You're working for a Russian troll farm.

We won't ever beat them

Until we learn how not to feed them

Working for a Russian troll farm.

So is there any way to undercut them ?

I don't know. But there's one about three blocks away on Randolph.

- What, where ? - At Bauer.

It disguises itself as a day trading boiler room.

- Oh, my God, I know that place. - How do you even know this ?

4chan. Gamergate guys think I'm a guy too.

It makes it easier to find out what's going on.

Look, the problem isn't finding out who does it. It's getting them to stop.

Okay. So we've refined our mission, stop the troll farm on Randolph.

Hello ?

Sorry, one minute.

This is my office.

Yeah, I like it. Lots of room.

- This is good. What is it ? - Mine.

Well, I'm sorry, do you want me out of here ?

Actually, I do, Mister Blum.

You know me.

And you are the great Diane Lockhart.

I need my desk.

You know, Jonas Stern was a good friend of mine.

That makes sense.

He loved talking about you, about being your mentor.

And by mentor I mean fuck buddy.

It's always good to talk to a dinosaur.

Reminds me how much things have changed.

Yes, yes, me too. It changed everything, didn't it ?

I mean, you saved the world from having to watch Weinstein shower.

What, no come back ?

I'm sorry. Are you still here ?

That's right. The liberals live and die by the zeitgeist.

Me too, the midterms, civil rights.

You think the arc of history tends toward justice ?

Was that lightning or a psychotic reaction ?

I don't see lightning.

So, not to blow your mind,

but where does Mister Trump fit in on that arc of history ?

Or is he tending toward justice ?

That's right, he's a temporary speed bump.

When he's gone, we'll just keep speeding on

to that Susan Sarandon Nirvana.

But I know Trump.

Yeah, we were the three amigos, Cohen, Trump, and me.

He's not going anywhere. He likes his job.

He wants a third term.

That will never happen.

Because they'll be holly hell to pay from Lindsey Graham ?

People will rise up.

Of course they will.

Because that's what people do when the jobless rate is at 3.7.

They get angry and start breaking things.

"We want fewer jobs."

Wanna give me a blowjob ?

Hello ? It's Diane Lockhart.

I found a strange man in my office rooting through my desk.

I think he's homeless.

That'll be great. Thank you.

You know what ? Here's the thing, Diane.

Trump wins because he sees life as a battle,

not a cause.

He uses his strength against you.

Liberals never get that.

Valerie. It's Diane. I had a thought about how to attack the troll farms.

The resistance needs to use their technique against them.

It's like Pizzagate. Trump lives by fake news, he dies by fake news.

Let's help him die.

Hey, she just used five target words in one sentence.

What ?

Diane, she used five target words in one sentence.

- What color target ? - Red, all red.

Trump, die, fake news, resistance, Pizzagate.

Wow. That is like domestic terrorism. Bingo !

You sure it was Diane and not someone calling her ?

- Diane Lockhart. - Who is she on with, Liz Reddick ?

I don't know. Someone new.

I didn't get it. Go check on your end.

Valerie Peyser ? Who's that ?

I don't know. Never heard of her.

I'm sending it upstairs. They love conspiracies.

There she goes. Good luck Valerie Peyser.

You just earned herself a three hop warrant.

Build-A-News Story

No, wait. Try this. It's not really a day Twitter on Randolph,

they're hiding illegal aliens there

until they can send them to Southern States.

No, to MS-thirteen, so they can kill women.

Wait. It's too silly. We want people to believe this, to take this seriously.

It's not about being taken seriously, it's about saying it with conviction,

wording it like a news story.

Put it in the mouth of P-Anon.

- Fuck, yeah, you're right. - Who's P-Anon ?

Our version of Q-Anon.

We'll make him a senior official in the Trump administration,

with access to confidential documents. Wants to share it on 4chan.

Hey, we got to get P-Anon t-shirts.

Okay. It's in four waves.

First a fake news story on a raid on the day trader on Randolph.

The results of the raid were kept secret.

Yes.

Good. And a Facebook account of a mother

who can't find her ten-year old and thinks she's in that building.

Oh, my god.

I got to tell you, this is really satisfying.

We need beers.

Well, this is all very impressive, Lanning.

Thank you, Julius. But I think you'd make a great judge,

so I can't wait to get started.

Just a few questions.

You have the Judge Richmond campaign listed on your resume.

I do. Yes. A nice guy.

But I thought Gene Cloaks ran that campaign.

Well, that leaves just one.

Melissa Long. She's probably the best honestly. I'd go with her.

Marissa, thanks.

No problem. It's just what I do.

On the night in question, Miss Reddick took you home ?

Yes. She was helping me as a friend and a colleague.

I couldn't have gotten through it without her.

Does any of that helping involve having her in your bedroom ?

- Not in the way that you mean. - Tell me what way I mean.

So, you're the tough questioner ?

Tell me what I mean.

You're implying there was some sexual contact.

But there wasn't ?

I helped him place pillows and put things within reach.

What things ?

Small things, like his cell phone, water, pain pills.

- And how long did that take ? - Ten minutes.

You were in the bathroom for only ten minutes ?

- No. - Then how long ?

I don't know. He was exhausted. So, probably most of the time.

You talked about work for two hours and fifty minutes ?

And our marriage, and why it didn't work out.

And why didn't it ?

Listen, I don't think they're gonna ask me that. So, we can...

If it makes you uncomfortable, they will.

We were trying to remember the last time we were in a hospital together.

And it was in the last year of our marriage.

I had ruptured my appendix and Adrian was in the hospital with me.

He stayed with me night and day. He's very good in emergency situations.

So this was your chance to return the favor.

Yes.

And what did "returning the favor" entail ?

- What did Liz say ? - Well, we'd rather get your memory.

The painkillers hadn't kicked in yet.

So Liz started humming a song to me that I had hummed to her.

What song was that ?

One bright morning when my life is o'er

I'll fly away.

I'll fly away, oh glory.

I'll fly away

When I die

Hallelujah by and by.

I'll fly away.

I'll fly away.

Good.

I think you're both ready.

- We can't wait anymore. - Yes, I know, Your Honor.

I think Mister Blum might've had a dental appointment that went too long.

Well, get him in here. Get him in here this afternoon.

Mister Blum, where are you ? You missed court !

- Where's Mister Blum ? - Did you bring granola ?

No !

Roland ? Roland !

Roland, wake up. Wake up.

I got us a delay until this afternoon, but I need you to wake up, okay ?

You got to get dressed.

Roland, wake up.

Spencer Zschau Missed Call

Face ID

Hi. This is Roland Blum's assistant, Bambi.

I believe we missed your call. May we know what this is regarding ?

What this is regarding is a plea deal I was making with Roland Blum.

I couldn't get a hold of Blum, so here I am.

- What's the offer ? - The same I offered Blum.

You get your client to testify against every word,

we'll give him eighteen months.

No.

- Do you want to go back to court ? - I wouldn't mind that.

What's that about ?

Honesty. Make it six months and I'll take it to my client.

Six months for murder ?

Six months and you get a conviction of the real person responsible.

Face it. You want one big conviction, not two small ones.

Done.

I hope you've got a gun.

Why ?

You just screwed over Roland Blum.

I had a ruptured appendix when we were married

and Adrian stayed with me in the hospital

and sang "I'll fly away" to me. I was returning the favor.

- For three hours ? - I wanted to wait till he was asleep.

It makes sense to me. Anything else councilor ?

One more thing, Your Honor. I have an affidavit from Detective Hedren.

When you left Mister Boseman's residence that night,

he followed you to a Rite Aid.

Objection, Your Honor. This is crazy. He followed her ?

Why was he following her when he was there to protect Mister Boseman ?

Because he was actually there to spy, obviously.

But what did he find ?

He saw you purchasing in that Rite Aid a nonprescription morning-after pill.

Did he have that correct, Miss Reddick ?

Your Honor, I'd like a recess to review this affidavit.

- Do we have an answer for this ? - You're not gonna like it.

As if his plate wasn't full enough, the presidential son-in-law

and senior advisor Jared Kushner has been tasked

with overhauling the nation's circus entertainment.

Kushner promises to repeal regulations

preventing the mistreatment of elephants

and on the number of clowns permissible in a single vehicle.

Twelve were arrested and five others were injured

when a riot broke out at a Chicago day trading firm on Randolph.

A window was broken and employees were scattered

after an Internet rumor started up

that the business was actually an elaborate pedophile ring.

Yes !

There are people in there killing and raping babies.

No word on how the rumor started,

but most point to a high-ranking Trump official.

Phenom forever.

Yes !

Valerie.

We're sorry. You've reached a number that has been disconnected

or is no longer in service.

What ? God.

Valerie ?

We're sorry. You've reached a number that has been disconnected

or is no longer in service.

We're sorry. You've reached a number that has been disconnected

or is no longer in service.

- Well, that's too bad for Diane. - You think it's upstairs ?

I don't know. It's weird.

We send that Valerie name up there and then the next day she's gone.

Maybe she's just on vacation. What ? Why do you care ?

I don't know. I don't want Diane to end up at some black site.

They don't do black sites anymore.

They do sweet little bed and breakfast in Costa Rica or something.

- Hey, I sent you something. - Not another clown video, is it ?

Why would I send you another clown video ?

I'm glad I passed the test. We need more black conservatives in power.

- So send over contracts. - Good. You are my first choice.

And I only will charge you half on this first hour.

Good. Wait, what do you mean ?

- I won't charge you for the full hour. - For this interview ?

- Yes. - But isn't it an interview ?

Yes.

Wait, I'm sorry. I don't understand why I'm being charged at all.

Look, we can probably work out at accommodation.

How much is an hour ? Just curious.

Seven fifty. But again, we'll find a way to discount this first hour.

- I want you to do it. - What ?

Run my judicial campaign.

- Are you serious ? - Yes.

I've gotten better advice from you these last few days

than a long line of these idiots.

Okay.

Okay.

So you did purchase a morning-after pill ?

Yes.

And you understand how suspicious that might appear, the timing ?

- Yes. - Then why did you buy it ?

My husband had wanted us to have another child

in order to save our marriage, and we had been trying. And I...

I was talking to Mister Boseman that night

about our marriage and why it had failed,

and I realized that I did not want to bring up another child with Ian.

- Horseshit. - Captain, no.

Your attorney can put you on the stand if he wants.

So this has nothing to do with sleeping with Mister Boseman ?

- No, not at all. - Okay. Any questions, councilor ?

No, but I do for Mister Boseman.

You've been quite the subject of interest in here, sir.

It's my understanding. I'm ready to answer any question.

Well, I'm sure I have a dozen, but let's let Mister Peyton start.

Hi.

Hi !

Have you found a job yet, sir ?

Not yet. But thank you for your concern.

Let's see.

What have I given you, Mister Boseman ?

Well, I'm not sure how you acquired these, sir,

but they look to be statements of accounts

for our firm, Reddick-Boseman.

Do you see the highlighted payments made in March of this year ?

I do.

Could you read the description aloud, please ?

Each one says Reddick payment.

Other than your ex-wife, was there anyone else working at your law firm

in March of this year with the last name Reddick ?

No.

Your Honor, I'd like to submit these statements into evidence.

They show payments of over four hundred thousand dollars to Liz Reddick

that she has not disclosed to her husband.

Would you care to explain these payments, Mister Boseman ?

My guess is you'd like to take a recess, Miss Quinn ?

I know I'm not a partner, so I'm not purview to the firm's finances,

but I cannot be your attorney if you keep me in the dark.

You have to tell me everything. So what are those Reddick payments ?

You're under oath. It's gonna come out when you go back into court.

Has the firm been paying you for some kind of tax dodge ?

- No. - Adrian ?

- No, no. - So what are these payments ?

- They're for your father ? - For Carl ?

They continued after he died, some were just a month ago.

To pay off the women, to keep them quiet.

- There are women ? - Yeah, we have NDAs with four.

Oh my God. What a nightmare.

I came to this firm because of him, because of his reputation.

Which we would like to preserve.

What do you wanna do ?

Liz.

Give him what he wants, Liz. Liz, Liz, give him what he wants.

He doesn't want full custody. Okay ? He's just using that to get back at me.

No. I get full custody.

We'll just void the prenup.

- I hate that he wins because of this. - So do I.

Let's talk. She's ready to make a deal.

Hold the elevator.

- Hey ! - Hi !

I thought you judges had your own elevator.

Nope, we ride with the unwashed.

- Good thing I wash. - Good thing you do.

So, you're settling, right ?

The case ? Yeah.

- Why ? - I don't date witnesses in my court.

Yeah. Irresistible.

The troll farm is gone.

Maybe temporary, but it's great news.

So where's Valerie ?

I don't know.

I tried calling her, the phone is disconnected.

And I texted.

We should watch the phones and text to each other.

On Four chan, they talk about Trump using the NSA

to go after his enemies.

Are we really at that point, arresting political enemies ?

No, but Nixon had his enemies' lists. Do we think Trump doesn't ?

So what are you saying ? That there are black sites and kidnappings ?

I don't know what we're talking about.

We have a private investigator at my firm.

I'll ask him to look into what happened,

but let's not let paranoia eat away at us.

We're not in a banana republic here.

Hello.

It's me.

- She's writing a text. - What does it say ?

Need you to find the whereabouts of Valerie Peyser.

No more texts, just talk in person.

Diane is on to us. Who's the text to ?

No idea. Someone else at the firm.

Jay Dipersia. There we go. That's a new name.

Well, don't add him in.

What do you mean ? Why not ? It sounds foreign.

I don't know. It makes me feel like we're the bad guys.

We are not the bad guys. We're just doing our job. We're just observers.

- I don't think we are. - Oh, God, you've gotten philosophical.

Don't fall in love, okay ? I'm sending him upstairs.

Good luck, Jay Dipersia.

Maia Rindell !

Where are you, you mousy little viper ?

- Sir. I'm gonna need you to... - Oh, you got an office !

You fucking backstabbing bitch !

You fucked over my client and you violated my trust.

- Have you no decency ? - Are you serious ?

You do this after the love I showed you !

That's supposed to scare me ?

Am I supposed to beg your forgiveness ?

No, I beat you at your own game, and it wasn't difficult,

because you were stoned and sloppy, and you've left me an opening.

I don't need the love of a sick, washed up fuck

who's pretending that he can cut it when he fucking can't.

Now get the fuck out of here.

The fuck you looking at ?

- I have news on Valerie Peyser. - That was fast.

- Where did you find her ? - In New York.

Good. She said she was going there to confer with Obama's people.

- When will she be back ? - Not for a while.

- But she's alive ? - Yes.

Do you have her contact info ?

I do. Did you pay her any money ?

Did I... Why ?

Valerie Peyser is a made-up name.

Valerie Underhill is from Elk Creek, Wisconsin.

She's serving eight months in Rikers for balking three Soho hotels.

In two thousand fourteen, she was arrested for check kiting.

In two thousand sixteen, for identity theft.

She befriends wealthy women, gains their confidence,

acquires their credit card numbers and uses their identity

to con the next person. She's been doing this for the last decade in LA,

Chicago, Miami, and New York.

God.

But there was never any money involved.

My guess is she would've asked for the contributions at the next meeting

until the PAC money arrived. Luckily for you, she returned to New York

to gather her things from the W hotel and was arrested.

Oh my God !

Here's her arrest record,

and my interview with a New York detective.

Do you want me to go with you to brief them ?

- Them ? - Your group.

No, I will.

I'm sorry.

You and I must make a pact

We must bring salvation back.

Just call my name, I'll be there.

I'll reach out my hand to you.

I'll have faith in all you do.

Just call my name, I'll be there.

I'll be there to comfort you.

Build my world of dreams around you,

I'm so glad that I found you.

I'll be there with a love that's strong.

I'll be your strength, I'll keep holding on.

Diane, I am so sorry to have been incommunicado these last few days.

Fear not, I'm fine.

I was called into service by Obama's team on the West Coast.

I will contact you again when I am able.

In the meantime, tell the group, great job.

Choose a new temporary leader until I return.

I would recommend Rachelle.

So anyway, get to work on the next act.

Keep up the good fight. Valerie.

So, what's our next act ?

I'll be there.

I'll be there to comfort you.

Build my world of dreams around you, I'm so glad I found you.

- Maia Rindell ? - Yes.

- Is this your vehicle ? - Why ? Has it been broken into ?

No, we got a tip on some stolen narcotics

from a local hospice facility.

And upon visual inspection of your vehicle,

there appear to be some controlled substances in a box in the back seat.

Do you have a prescription for these substances ?

Damn it.

Just call my name and I'll be there.
