Get on in here.

(baby crying)

Come on.
All i need is wednesday.
Then give me monday.

That is shoplifting day. I make
half my nut on shoplifting day.

Come on, lucca,
help me out here.

Not in a million years, don.

What happened to
"bar attorneys stick together"?

When have bar attorneys
ever stuck together?

(baby crying)
hey, someone's got money.

Dui in the suit.

(baby crying)

No, nervous kid on the end.

It's a drug lawyer.

(baby crying, crowd chatter)

Hey, is that, um...?

Yeah.

Man:
What's she doing here?

Lucca:
She tried to steal an election.

Where else would she go?

Bar attorney?
Yeah.

Back row.
Ah. Sorry.

It's my first day.

Really? Wouldn't
have guessed.

Alicia florrick.

We know.
I voted for you.

Oh. Sorry about that.

Judge:
I have a crammed lockup today,

So let's all work together,

And we'll get through this
with some alacrity.

How many bar
attorneys do i have?

Gentlemen, you have three bar
attorneys here for you today.

They've been approved
by the chicago

Bar association
to help with the non-indigents.

That means you.

Congratulations, gentlemen.
You may think you're poor,

But you are not poor enough
to have a public defender.

So you have the option
of hiring one of these three.

Four.

Just so you know, you're under
no obligation to hire them.

Bar attorneys are merely
a convenience for you

And for the court so we can
dispense with your case today.

If you want
to find your own attorney,

You will have to do so tonight
after the bond hearing,

Which will, of course,
push your hearing to tomorrow.

Still, it's up to you.
Do you understand?

I don't get involved

With the fee, so make
your arrangements with them.

Ms. Quinn, you
have 12 defendants.

Males 114 to 125.
Mr. Bukovitz, eight.

126 to 133. Come on.

Mr. Weingarten, ten.

134 to 143.

Lyndquist? Mr. Lyndquist?
All right, matan, i'll look
through these in order

Of importance.
You have kids?
Bukovitz:
Mr. Hocker?

Start with misdemeanors.
Are you employed,
mr. Lyndquist?

Witnesses put you
at the scene of the crime.

Is that what
we got here?

This is the third time
in two years.

Matan:
Yes, your honor.
Lucca:
You have kids?

Is your wife here?
At the back?

In the corner.

Excuse me, am i supposed
to check in with someone?

What?
Well, the judge--
he didn't include me.

Oh, yeah, i saw that.

Schakowsky: Let's put them
at the bottom of the stack

And get this party started.

(horns honking)

Your honor,
excuse me.

I just wanted to introduce
myself. I'm alicia florrick.

I'm on my way
to lunch, ma'am.

Yes, sir, but i just
wanted you to know

That i am available
as a bar attorney.

Yes, i get that.
Thank you.

I fought over 45 criminal
cases, your honor.

Yes, and you were partner
at florrick-agos, and

Your husband is governor, and
you ran for state's attorney.

I'm aware of it.
Then you know
i'm capable, sir.

Of winning cases. So?

I have 350 cases
a day to process.

That's a case every 90 seconds.

And if i fall behind,
i hear from the chief justice.

I won't hold
you up, sir.
Yes, you will.

You're play-acting.

The other bar attorneys
in there--

They need the money,
they're hungry.

I have kids in college. I don't
share finances with my husband.

You were a partner
in a top firm.
Yes.

And i can't get a job since...
Since the scandal.

I can't help you, ma'am.

The last thing i need in my
courtroom is a marie antoinette.

I'm not a marie antoinette.

Man:
Your ride, mrs. Florrick.

From mr. Canning.

He wants to take you to lunch.

No.

I didn't ask it yet.

It's the same answer as before.
I don't want to work for you.

Work with me.
I don't want
to work with you.

Why not?
You're the devil.

I-i... I thought you liked me.

I do like you,
but i don't like your cases.

I don't like
who you defend.

Tobacco, pharmaceuticals.

Alicia, i've looked into
your finances,

And you made a bad deal
on your exit agreement.

You're doing grunt work as a
bar attorney for $135 a case.

Thank you for lunch,
mr. Canning.
Now wait.

All i'm saying is, there's
no honor in starting over.

For the first time in my life,

I don't have
to answer to anyone.

It's just me.

Have you read milan kundera?

What? No.

I have... In
the hospital,

'cause, um, i had
a lot of time.

Two people bump into each other

On a sidewalk...

And it's nobody's fault,
just a complete accident.

One person instinctively
says, "i'm sorry."

And the other says, "watch it"

Okay?

You're the apologizer.

And for no good reason.

Because you're a woman who
occupies space on this planet?

That's why
you should work for me.

Let the devil teach you
how to say, "watch it."

You just let it slip.

"work for me."

I don't want
to work for you.

I don't want to answer
for anyone else.

What?

Huh?

You-you seem like you're
gonna launch into a...

Would you excuse me, please?

...Inspiring soliloquy
about self-sufficiency.

(line ringing)

Eli:
Alicia. What's up?

Peter should run.

What?

I said, i think
peter should run.

(mouths)

Eli?

Uh, y-y-yes.

I just have to put
a few things into operation.

Why? Why-why...
Why are you changing your mind?

I realized
i was deciding things for peter,

And i'm through with people
making decisions for me.

(fingers snapping)

You're snapping
fingers at me.

I don't know
what snapping fingers means.

Get ruth on the line!
Ruth eastman!

Is grace okay with this?

Grace has always been okay
with it. It was me.

You will be involved?

It depends what you need.

Tomorrow we need to declare.

I'll get us a tv interview.

After 5:00.

I'll call you back.

You're in.

Alicia?
Yeah.

We've got to get moving fast!
Why? What did she say?

Oh, something about
not wanting to speak for you,

Or something eloquent.

We've got to make
a play for ruth eastman.

She's the miracle worker
of iowa,

And she won't work with hillary.

Eastman's leaving
her office right now.

She asked to call you tomorrow.
No.

Tell her i'm coming to her.

Tell her not to leave!
She's fielding offers.

We got to get ours in quick.

(elevator bell dings)
i haven't decided yet, sir.

No, i think you have
a very good chance.

You said
you wouldn't leave.

Can i call you
back, sir?

Who's that?
O'malley? Sanders? Webb?

I didn't say i
wouldn't leave, eli.

Peter florrick is running.

Running for what?

He's making a play
for vice president.

No.

Hillary will
choose a senator.

No, a governor,
an outsider.

Someone with
a good story.

A man in prison,
wrongfully convicted,

Who comes back in triumph
to become governor.

A man whose wife tried
to steal an election.

A beloved wife who was misled
by her handlers.
Weren't you
one of those handlers?

Peter needs to come
in a strong second in iowa,

Or the press will
write us off.

I'm heading to the airport, eli.

Let's talk tomorrow.
$25,000 a month, ruth.

Five percent
of the media budget, no cap.

(phone ringing)

A win bonus of
two months salary.

You won't get better
from sanders.
Hello.

Could you hold, please?

Eli, i have to take this.
Just don't say "yes."

Promise me
you'll meet peter first.

I'll meet peter first.
Can i go now?

Yes.

Mrs. Florrick, hello.

You're home early from court.

I asked ms. Smulders to
wait in the office for you.

Ms....?

Smulders. Your
first client.

From the web site?
Yeah.

Zach put it up last night.
It looks really good.

(phone ringing)

Alicia florrick,
attorney-at-law.

Yes, she's busy,
your honor.

Can she call you back?

(whispering):
Who is it?
No one. I'm calling myself.

Yes. Thank you.

Ms. Smulders.

Hello. I'm alicia florrick.

Yes, mrs. Florrick,
i'm sorry

That i didn't call ahead.

It's just i... I need a lawyer
now, this afternoon.

Should i take notes,
mrs. Florrick?

No, thank you.
I'm good.

(phone ringing)
i'll hold your calls.

Yes, please.

So, ms. Smulders, why do you
need a lawyer this afternoon?

My mother died.
I'm so sorry.

No. It was last week, but
she didn't leave a will.

It shouldn't
be contentious.

There's only two of us.

It's my brother and
myself, and my mother

Had put tack-on notes
on everything to make sure

That there wouldn't be
any disputes over who got what.

My mother doesn't have a lot
of valuable things, but she was

A friend of marc chagall's wife,
valentina,

And she had given
her a signed print.

A signed chagall?

Do you know what it's worth?

$8 million.

Oh.

I see. Um...

Who's your brother's lawyer?

Alicia. What a surprise.

David. Spreading your cheer
far and wide, i see.

I thought you were working
as a bond court pimp.

What are you doing here?

Multitasking.

I heard you lost
your top four clients.
No.

Three clients,
and they weren't top.

Too bad this will be
a clean dissolution of assets.

It'd be fun to get down
in the muck together.

Oh, i have a feeling
you'll find a way

To get down in the muck
on this chagall.

(laughing)

Oh, here's our executor now.

Hello, mr. Dandy.
Handy.

Oh, i'm sorry. Here.

Let me help you
with that, mr. Handy.

As the executor,
i'll photograph the placement

Of mrs. Smulders' tack-on notes
on her valuables,

And if there is
any disagreement,

I will be the final arbiter.
Are we agreed?

This door has not been opened
since mrs. Smulders' death,

And this is the only key, so...

Here we go. It'll be
my note or yours.

Alicia:
Great. They all fell off.

What is that?
A smoothie.

You don't drink smoothies.

I know. I'm changing,
like a butterfly.

Good meeting?
Yeah.

Ruth eastman gives us
second place in iowa.

Second place in iowa
gives us street cred.

And street cred gives us
a hearing with hillary.

And that is why i am
drinking a smoothie.

(peter speaks indistinctly)

(laughs)
eli. Hi.
(laughing): Yeah.

Hi.
(chuckles)

You two are meeting already?
Yeah.

So, uh, let eli and i talk,
and then when we're done,
mm-hmm.

Maybe you two can get together
and have a conversation. Good?

Good. Uh, i want everything
to be copacetic here.

I hate contention.

Why would there be contention,
peter?

Have a seat, have a seat.
No, i'm good. I'm good.
Why-why-why contention?

Ruth has agreed
to come on board.

(chuckles)
and she has a
campaign strategy

That is... Very good.

Good. Good.
I think

She partially believes in me.
But, more importantly,

She dislikes
the clintons.
How long has she been here?

Uh, about an hour.

I was just with
her an hour ago.

(chuckles)
you were the one on the phone

Offering her a job.

My job?
Eli, it's

A national campaign, and i need
a national strategist.

Oh, my god, you're firing me.

No, i'm not.
I'm not.

Whatever happened to loyalty?

This isn't about loyalty.
I got you here.
You wouldn't be here

Without me.
Oh, now, wait
a minute...

No, no.
When you were polling nothing,

When you were banging
your ethics coordinator--

Your freakin' ethics
coordinator-- i stuck by you!

I cleaned up your mess.
Prostitutes, groupies, alicia...

Don't go there.
I was the one freakin' set
of footprints in the sand!

Eli, this is not about you.

This is about me trying
to reach the middle class,

And i need her
to do it!
Are you insane?!

Are you so narcissistic
you can't see

You're stabbing me in the back?
I see

A political operative
who has a very inflated sense

Of his
own worth.
Go to hell, peter!

(exhales)
(sighs)

All right, you
should go home.
(scoffs)

I was gonna ask you to stay
and be chief of staff

In the governor's
office...
Uh, no.

But you know what i am gonna do?

I'm gonna find someone
to run against you.

You just lost your greatest
asset and made your worst enemy.

(man sniffling, coughing)

When does this partner meeting
start, huh?

My back is killing me.
It's these chairs.

We need better lumbar support.

Howard: God, my butt. It's
like sitting at a ball game.

(muffled laughter)

Hey, a little quiet,
please, huh?

Can't you see
we're working here?

(man coughing)

(door opens)

Everything good?

Yeah. Sorry about the noise,
mr. Agos.

Uh, you don't... You don't have
to call me mr. Agos.

You know, one thing
i wanted to get going

Was an associate social.

So maybe one night
this week we can...

How you doing, kids?
Man:
Mr. Lyman, how's it going?

Oh, come on. None of
that mr. Lyman stuff.

Just call me howie.

Howie, hmm?

Hmm.

Hey.

How you doing?

I love that shirt.

We have a court time
at 3:00 p.M. Today, alicia,

And i am not gonna get
into a fight on this.

(quietly):
Don't lay it on so thick.

Let's agree to a 50% split
on all assets, including

The chagall.
Fine with me. See you then.

Sorry.

(baby shouts)

Hey,
look who's back.

You were wrong.
Schakowsky freezes her out

One more time,
she'll run off crying.

I don't know.
What do you mean
you don't know?

She doesn't look
like she'll quit.
Right,

Like her s.A. Run. She stuck
that one out. Never quit.

Good morning.
Schakowsky:
We had a very full lockup

Here today,
so let's all work together

And we'll get through this
with some alacrity.

How many bar attorneys

Do i have today?
Four, your honor.

Ms. Quinn, you have 25 males.

Mr. Bukovitz, 18. And, mr.
Weingarten, 20. Get up here.

(baby crying)

It was a full moon last night.
We had an influx of arrests.

So keep it moving.

(clears throat)

What?
For the purposes
of speed,

Your honor,
i would suggest giving five

Of my sheets to mrs. Florrick.
What?

Why would i do that?
I don't think
i can carry this load

With the speed
you require.
You've done it before.

Yeah, but i don't think
i can today.

She slows me down,
it's your problem, lucca.

I'm not joking.

Make sure she keeps up.

Mrs. Florrick,

Come on up
here, please.

Yes,
your honor.
Six cases.

Don't slow me down, you hear me?

Thank you, your honor.

And if the meaning of
"alacrity" escapes anyone...

Thanks.
I didn't do anything.

389. Assault and battery.

Thank you, mr. Banner.
Can you tell me
about the charges, please?

Yeah. I didn't do it.

I didn't punch that bus driver.
What happened?

Well, i was just going
to see my wife. She...

Works at the
hospital as a nurse.
Damn it, matan!

And i go to see her for dinner.
We just go down to the...

Cafeteria on
her break.

About the bus driver,
sir?
Right, i'm getting to that.

My wife only gets
45 minutes for dinner,

And if i don't get
there right at 8:00,

We don't get to have dinner...
Alicia, can i talk to you
for a second?

You don't ask
open-ended questions.

You ask yes or no questions
and only about bail.

Yeah, but i need
to know his story.
No, you don't.

In one minute, the judge is
gonna call that client's name,

And you'll have to argue
why he deserves bail.

If you're not ready, he goes
to the back of the heap.

Josiah, uh,
do you have a job?

Well, like, sometimes i work
for my brother at his auto shop.

It's not...
And your family,
they depend on your job,

On the money your job brings in?

Well, you know, sometimes i...

Just a yes or no answer, please.

It's not a yes or no answer.
Man: Come on, let's go.

Schakowsky:
Male 19, assault.
What do you have, asa?

Matan:
Assault and battery.
With two bfws

For failure to appear.
Uh, he is a danger to the public

And a flight risk.
Okay, got it. Uh, mrs. Florrick,

Mitigation?
Uh, yes, your honor.
Mr. Banner's family--

His wife and his children...
Uh, his child--

Depends on his salary at, um, an
auto body shop that he works at.

And his other bfws, well,
they... Give me just one second,

Your honor...

Mr. Banner,
your bail is set at $500,000.

What?

Excuse me, your honor,
that's too much.

You need $50,000
to get out of jail.
I can't afford that.

Well, then you'll be held
until trial.

August 5,
branch 44.

Next up, male 19,
drunk and disorderly.

Just move on to
the next, now.

Matan:
...Obstructing traffic
in wicker park.

The state requests
$20,000 bail.

Schakowsky:
Damn it, matan, if you don't
have the jacket on the dui...

Uh, william r. Johnson.

Dui?

You okay?

I had six clients;
four are still behind bars.

What do you think?

We're not
in the miracle-working business.

It's an assembly line.

Keep the court moving--
that's all.

Here's the other thing.
You didn't make any money today.

Yes, i did.

I had six cases. $135 a case.

No. None of them's
gonna pay you.

You have to get 'em to check
this box on their sheet.

It allows the county
to send the $135 refunded bail

Straight to you.
That's how you get paid.

That's how
you don't get cheated.

Otherwise, no one'll
send you any money.

You catch on.
It just takes a while.

(phone rings)

Yeah.

Uh, damn it.
I-i'm-i'm minutes away.

Oh, i see we have
the small court today.

72 degrees, please, sheriff.
Thank you.

This is supposed to be
a relatively easy probate.

What are we waiting on?

Not on us, your honor.
We're ready.
Me.

Your honor, excuse me.
I'm just coming from bond court.

We're ready, too. Due to
the loss of tack-on notes,

Ms. Smulders has agreed
to a fifty-fifty division

Of all assets.
Wise.

Good. Mr. Lee?

We would disagree
that the notes are lost,

Your
honor.

I'm sorry, your honor,
but given the fact

That a heat wave caused
the notes to fall and are now

Spread across the floor
of mrs. Smulders' house,

I would call that lost.

We would like to call
a witness, your honor.

Dr. Ian caine, adhesive expert

At solvent and curables lab.

You're what?

An adhesive expert.

Really? That's a job?

Yes, it is, your honor.

Diane:
Dr. Caine, did you
have an opportunity

To examine the notes
in mrs. Smulders' house?
Yes, i did.

Pressure sensitive adhesives.
Simple and imperfect.

And did you find anything
relevant to this case?
Yes.

Every adhesive retains
some trace of the surface

It comes in contact with.

We call that "pressure sensitive
contact release."

And did you do
a chemical study

Of the adhesive on
this specific note?

Caine:
Yes. It had traces

Of dutch gold leaf
on its adhesive strip.

Your honor, objection, we've had
no access to this testing.

Well, give them access now.

There is a painting
in mrs. Smulders' house,

A chagall original.

Did you happen
to study

The chemicals
on its gilded frame?

Caine:
Yes, it's been painted
with dutch gold leaf.

Diane:
Nothing further,
your honor.

Judge:
Thank you. I'm sure

You want some extra time to go
over that report, mrs. Florrick.

Yes, your honor,
but i do have a few questions.

Dr. Caine, i see
that there are other chemicals

On this note's adhesive.
What are they?
House dust mites.

Various lead compounds.
Human hair.

From the carpet in the room?

Yes. Exactly.

It's to be expected.
I also see

That one of the desk lamps
in mrs. Smulders' house

Is made of lead.
You see that one here?

Caine:
Yes.
Is it possible

That the lead on the adhesive

Didn't come from the carpet

But came from
the lamp?

Yes. It's possible.

But it still had gold leaf
on it.

That means that the note
came from the frame.

But if mrs. Smulders
changed her mind and moved

The note from the
chagall to the lamp,
oh, come on!

Would the note
have both compounds

On it?

Yes, it would.

Thank you.

I need an aerodynamics expert.

They're going after science.
Grace: Okay.

I'll ask uncle owen
if he knows anyone.
And can you tell eli

I'll be ten minutes late
for the interview?

Yes. Calling now.

I don't know why you're
coming after me so hard.

Two name partners.
Expert witnesses.

You think it's
just happenstance

That you have a case
across from us?

Mr. Governor,
it's so good to see you.

Ted willoughby.
You, too, ted.

Me, too, ted?

It's good to see you, too.

Ah.

They warned me about your wit.

(laughs)

Ah, mrs. Florrick.
Hello,

I'm ruth eastman.
Oh, hello.

Sorry i'm late.

Um, i tried calling eli,

But he didn't answer.

Oh, there-there's been
a slight change.

We're going ahead
with this interview,

But we're delaying
the announcement till next week.

Oh. Why is that?

It's a smarter move.

Why is that the smarter move?

We can raise more funds
if peter isn't a candidate yet.

Now, i'll be getting you
a chief of staff

To coordinate
with the campaign.

I... Um, where's eli?

Oh, he-he's no longer
with the campaign.

I'm ruth eastman, the
new campaign manager.

Don't worry.

Eli's very good, but i have
a more national presence.

And i think you'll see
we have a lot in common.

Would you excuse me
for a moment?

Peter, what the hell?
It's a national
campaign, alicia.

I need a campaign manager
with a national strategy.
You need someone who cares.

Eli cared.
Caring is not enough.

He doesn't know the state.

He doesn't know
the people.
He knows you. He's loyal

To you.
Alicia.

Right from
the beginning,

You wanted nothing to do
with this campaign.

You can't come in now and
pretend that you have a voice.

This is my choice.

It's a hard choice.
It's the hardest choice

I've ever had to make,
but it's mine.

And i don't need you
coming in now and scolding me.

(alicia chuckling)
my gosh,

It's good to see you two smiling

And laughing.

Mrs. Florrick,

If your husband does run,
why should voters vote for him?

Well, um, loyalty.

He's loyal
to his family.

His friends.

He sticks with people.

I think alicia's

Being very kind.
Obviously

A candidate
has to be loyal,

But he's got to be smart.

Balance is everything.

Yes, balance.
And sticking to your word.

That's what voters want
most in a candidate.

Well, i know
that's what i want.

That and...

Can i have a beer with him?

(grunting, yelling)

(knocking)

Alicia:
Eli, it's me.
It's alicia.

Eli, you're not
answering your phone.

We need to talk.

(grunting on television)

Eli, i can hear your movie.

Eli.

I heard. I'm sorry.

It's okay, i'm fine.

But thanks.

Eli, wait.
No, i just need to
be done with it,

Alicia. I-i...
I was never your friend.

I was just a political
operative. I was the help.

And, uh... I need to be done.
That's it.

No, no, no, we wait for alicia
to present her witness.

No, i...
David, i disagree.
And then we use it

As a rebuttal.
We don't wait
for her to present her witness--

She's going to get
ahead of the argument.
Don't you understand what i'm...

She's not gonna get
ahead of the argument.

Diane: We don't let her
take the offensive.
No.

Diane: Right now...
Okay, i don't think

You understand the way i'm
thinking about this, obvious...
All right.

(muffled laughing)
explain it to me.

David: She will present her
witness, then we will use the...

Diane: Why are we letting her
present her witness first?

Right-right now, we are...
David: That's what
i'm trying to explain to you.

Diane: All right.
Would you let me finish?

(rock music playing)

So, you guys
happy at work?

Yeah.

Seriously,

If you have any complaints,
i'm here,

I'm listening.

Well, i pitched to the partners
a new way to bill the clients.

But...

But what? They said no?

They wouldn't listen.

All the new firms
are using it.

But the worry i have
is, lockhart/agos

Is seen as an older firm.

Not as friendly
to new ideas.

Well, tell me
what the idea is.

Dr. Douglas dooley.

Aerodynamics expert
from chicago polytech.

Were you able to investigate
the fall pattern

Of the notes below
the chagall painting?
She's got to be kidding.

Dooley:
Tack-on notes fall in a limited
way because they are

Denser than air.
They flutter,

But they will never flutter
more than 30 degrees

From the starting point.
This is the falling cone.

Alicia:
So if we were to
look at a photo

Of mrs. Smulders'
residence,

We would be able to determine
what notes could not

Have fallen from
the chagall painting?
Yes,

Those falling out of this area.

That is the 30-degree cone
of falling trajectory

From any spot
on the painting.

Dr. Nigel buggy.

I'm an industrial suction expert

With
ames institute.

Okay, now you're just
making these jobs up.

David:
Dr. Buggy, did you read

Dr. Dooley's testimony?
Judge:
Wh... Uh, dr. Dooley--

Was he the tape guy?
David: No, fall pattern.

(mouths)
yes, i did.
I mean,

Dr. Dooley's opinion only holds
if the scene were undisturbed.

And what in your opinion
disturbed the scene?

This.

I need you to find out
everything you can

About roombas.
They're allowing

Mrs. Smulders' roomba
into evidence.
Okay,

I'm on their web site now.
What might alter

A programmable route
for a roomba?
(beeping)

Oh, that's my call waiting.
I'll call you back.

Hello?

Lucca:
Alicia florrick?
Yes, hello.

It's lucca quinn.

I need you to step in for me.

Um, i don't understand.

I have a deposition
this afternoon.

I need someone to cover
for me in bond court.

Ah.

Bar attorneys stick together,
mrs. Florrick.

We cover for each other.

What time do you need me?
1:00 to 4:00.

You'll be the only attorney,
so i'll need you there.
Okay, but

I have to be in probate court
at 4:30.

Shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks.

(speaking german)

Eli, this
isn't healthy.

Snow nazis?

Come on,
make some calls.

It'll make you happy.

Good.
W-who can i call?

There you go.

Where are you going?

♪ ♪

Grace:
I highlighted
the part that matters.

Thank you, grace.

Can i stay and watch?

Definitely.
Thanks.

Eli.

Hello.
Alicia.

You got a haircut.

It's sleek.

I wanted to apologize.

Obviously, i was very upset,

But i should never
have said that to you.

It's okay.
No, it's not.

You never made me feel
like the help.

And i always flattered myself
to think i was...

Almost a friend.

So my apologies.
Accepted.

That's why i want to be
your chief of staff.

You're gonna need
a chief of staff.

Someone to coordinate
with the main campaign.

And it's better if you work
with someone you know.

Eli, i don't think
i'll have a choice in this.

I can make this work for you.
Whoever ruth hires

Will make your life harder.
And it's not an easy job--

They're going to want
to rehabilitate you.

Rehabilitate me?

From your failed campaign
last year, from your scandal.

They need to make you
a wife again.

Alicia:
Doctor,

You've shown us how the
programmable roomba would have

Pushed a clyde note

Under the chagall painting.

But isn't it true
that this machine's

Programmed path
could be disrupted?

Buggy:
I don't... Uh, understand.

Alicia:
Doesn't the instruction manual
say that a low battery

Causes a roomba

To stop
what it's doing and

Return back
to the base station?

Oh, yes.
Sheriff, please.

Your honor,
we haven't been

Prepared for this.

Judge:
Can you bring
that roomba back over here?

We need to get
a better look at it.

Let's see if
the battery level's low. Okay,

Where do i look?

That gauge there...

Um, your honor?
Hmm?

Do you see something
sticking out there?

Judge:
Yes, another tack-on note.

Doctor, could you
untangle that thing?

Selena.
(gasps)

Who's selena?

Our housekeeper.

We need to get
to the housekeeper.
But how do i do that?

Well, we need to hire
an investigator.

By the hour. Damn it,
i have to get to bond court.

But i thought
that was tomorrow.

No, i told another attorney
i'd help her out.

You know what, i'll ask for
investigator references there...

Ruth:
Mrs. Florrick.

Can i drop you someplace?

I think we got off
on the wrong foot, alicia.

I actually have
a very good bedside manner.

Well, peter seems happy.
That's what's important.

I want you to be happy, too.

We'll be needing to get you
in front of a few key people.

To rehabilitate me?

Yes.

We hopefully won't eat up
too much of your time,

But we need the voters
to see the real you.

I'm not sure
they'll like the real me.

That's why we need to mold
a real you that they'll like.

I'll be hiring you
a chief of staff.

Someone discreet.

Oh, i-i already have one.

You do?
A chief of staff?

Yes.
Who?

Eli gold.

Huh.

No, unfortunately, um,

That won't work.

Why not?

Well, it's too soon.

Um, i want you to meet
a few other options.

No, i'm good with eli.

Mrs. Florrick, you're not paying
for this. The campaign is.

Yes, and they're not
paying for me.

I'm volunteering.

Are you suggesting
you wouldn't be involved

In your husband's campaign?

Yes, actually, i am.

It was good to talk to you.
This is where i get out.

If you want
to find your own attorneys,

You'll have to wait till tonight
after the bond hearing.

I don't get involved
with the fees.

So you will make arrangements
with your own

Bar attorney.

Mrs. Florrick,

Please approach.

(baby crying)

Are you serious?

You're the only bar attorney
here today?

Stepping in for ms. Quinn,
your honor.

You keep this moving,
or you won't be in here again.

Yes, your honor.

Mr. Lancaster, i don't need to
know whether you did it or not.

I just need to know
about this previous arrest.

You'll see on your copy,

You need to check this box
for your refunded bail money

To come to me.
Otherwise, i can't help you.

(crying)
i'm sorry, sir,
but we don't have much time.

Just nod if you can't
get your words out.

Mm-hmm.
Schakowsky:
Male 63.

Driving under the influence.

This was mr. Baptiste's
second dui, your honor.

We would ask
for substantial bail.

He is a 40-year-old who,
um, did public service.

His record was expunged.

He was driving 85

Miles in a
40-mile lane.
Bail granted.

$1,500. Male 64.
Drug trafficking.

Oh!

Second offense, your honor.

Two bond forfeiture warrants.

Schakowsky:
Mitigation?

Did you need any more time,
mrs. Florrick?

Oh, no, just, um, just a moment
to find the page, your honor.

Your honor,
mr. Wheeler isn't learning.

We ask for $750,000 in bail.

He is a single father of four.
The children have no one else.

He is a drug dealer
who was unrepentant.
First of all, he didn't do it.

Selling crack within
50 yards of a school.

Second of all, child services
will take his children away.

$100,000 bail, mr. Wheeler.
Unless you can pay,

You will be held
until trial.
Your honor, we ask

That you reconsider.
Male 65.

Probation violation. Mrs.
Florrick, can i speak with you?

Don't you dare
slow me down again.

You keep doing that,
and i will tax your clients.

Now step back.

Octagon is a data visualization
technique that communicates

Eight key metrics

In an octagon-shaped
digital and hard graphic.

As you can see
from the handouts,

It's a way of finding
graphical means to communicate

Complex multivariable data

In a format that
requires the end user

To have very little
technical training.

Each end-user gets a new
updated octagon every month.

Howard:
I don't get it.

Why can't we just
do what we do?

Because this is a way
to become more efficient.

The newer firms are using it.
I don't see the use, cary.

We need to listen to new ideas.

And we did.

This firm is becoming
a laughingstock.

Where?

We're seen as being old
and out of touch.

The associates don't think
we listen to them.

We need to change.

The only question, sir,
is bail at this point.

I don't need...
Schakowsky:
Mrs. Florrick,

Please approach.

You have to stay.

I don't have another
bar attorney.

Step back.
I'm sorry, your honor, i can't.

I have an inheritance matter
in probate court.

I don't care. You're here.

You're staying.

Lucca, you need to get here now.

I need to get to probate
in ten minutes.

Where's don?

I don't know,
but you need to get here now.

I'm too far away.

Where's probate court?

Who are you?
I'm lucca quinn.

Alicia asked me to step in
just to get a continuance.

Where is she?

Judge:
Okay, where are we?

Are we going to hear from
a scissors expert today?

Your honor, we actually
have at our table

Mrs. Smulders' housekeeper,
selina abarca.

They must have made
a deal with her.

Your honor,
i'm lucca quinn.

I'm acting on behalf
of mrs. Florrick

To ask for a continuance.

Your honor, this is
a stalling tactic.

Uh, mrs. Florrick
is not stalling.

She's been held up
at the bond court.

Really? She finds the bond court
more important than us?

Not important, your honor.
She's... The judge is

Not allowing her...
What does this housekeeper
have to say?

David:
It's actually what
our expert has to say

About her tack-on note.

Expert. You know,
i thought we were gonna get by

At least ten minutes
without an expert.

(laughing)
lucca:
Your honor, i must again

Ask for a continuance.
I am not privy

To all of mrs. Florrick's
thinking on this.

Oh, that's too bad.
Sit back down.

Do you know anything
about this?
(mouths)

Caine:
In examining this new
pressure-sensitive adhesive,

I found more dutch gold leaf.

Diane:
The same imitation gold leaf
from the chagall frame?

Caine:
That is correct.

And there was nothing else.

No lead from the lamp
or the rug?
No.

Meaning ms. Abarca's note had to
fall from the chagall painting?

That's correct.

You should object.

Objection, your honor.

Relevance?

Good guess. No.

Diane:
Your honor,

We believe that

The chagall painting was left
to mrs. Smulders' housekeeper,

Selina abarca, and we ask
that your honor rule.

Does counselor have anything?

Again we ask for a
continuance, your honor.

Ms. Lockhart has made
a very strong argument.

I am prone to reward this
housekeeper the inheritance

Unless there's anything more.

Your honor.
Counselor, i have already ruled.

There is not gonna be
a continuance.
I understand.

I just wanted to be clear.

That lady is the housekeeper
to the deceased?

Yes. Why?
And this is about
an inheritance?

Yes, it is.
You catch on quickly.
And was

The deceased an invalid?

She was in a wheelchair. Why?

And i'm guessing this
asset, this-this painting,

Was worth more
than $20,000.

Yes, it is. $8 million.
Again, why?

The housekeeper
can't inherit it.

Of course she can.
No.

According to illinois law,

A caretaker to an invalid

Cannot inherit
more than $20,000.
(mouths)

(gavel bangs)
dismissed.

(crowd chatter)

Okay, fifty-fifty.
We'll be in touch.

Working late?
Almost done.

So... Have some bad news.

The partners didn't
really get octagon.

Yeah, i didn't think they did.

I could see their faces.

But i don't want you to give
up on pitching new things,

So just come to me, and i'll
walk it in with you, okay?

Okay. Thanks.

If you ever need anything,
just... I'm here.

Just talk to me.

Hey.

I'm sorry. I thought...

No.
Uh, just the way
you were talking...

No. No, i wasn't...

This was about opening up to the
younger associates, that's all.

Okay. Sorry.

What are you doing, eli?

(door closes)

What am i doing?

Packing.

Nice haircut.

Thanks.
No.

What are you doing
with mrs. Florrick?

She doesn't just
get it into her head

To keep you on
as chief of staff.

I'm pretty irresistible.

You're not getting
that job, eli.

I will make it

A prerequisite of my employment.

I get to hire
the wife's chief of staff.

Good. That sounds smart.

What do you know?

Ruth, you and i don't have time

To tell each other lies,
so let's not.

I plan to use
alicia's rehabilitation campaign

To undercut you
and eventually destroy you.

(laughing)

I may even destroy peter
in the process.

Not quite sure about that yet.

Well, thanks for
your honesty.

What if i inform peter?
I will,

Of course, deny it.

You will again tell him
i'm out to hurt you.

He will think you're being
paranoid and distracted

By something that has nothing
to do with the campaign.

You planned it all out.

Not quite all but...

Enough.

Talk to you soon.

Sooner than you think, eli.

♪ i been telling you lies ♪
♪ lies ♪

♪ yeah, standing
on your face... ♪

Thanks again.

Eh, all i did was vamp.

It was good vamping.

What do you want?

A beer.

So, how long
have you been a lawyer?

I'm gonna go dance.
What?

There's a dance floor.
I'm gonna go dance.
With who?

I don't know.
I'll find someone.

Excuse me.
Hey, watch it.

Notice, i didn't
say "sorry."

"excuse me"
is just about as bad.

Good job with
the smulder case.

Thanks. Are you
following me?

No.

(whooping)
you just happen to
be at this bar?

Okay, i followed you
from court.

She is really good.

So, why'd you give me the case?

What makes you think
i gave it to you?

I didn't at first.

I thought madeline
found my web site.

But then diane suggested
that you were using me

As a pawn against them.

Why would she say that?

Because you're the devil.

(laughs)

All i was doing was
sending you some work,

Keep you from starving,

Until you come to your senses
and decide to join my firm.

You'll still be
an independent.

You'll still be
your own woman.

You won't even work for me.

Unless you want me
to stop sending you cases.

Do you want me to stop?

No.
