"But a partial recount of select precincts has led me to believe that it is detrimental to the democratic process for Cook County to be subjected to a long and drawn-out recount." "I would like to thank my supporters for their faith in me and my husband, who has been... (choking up): has been amazing during this difficult time." "Thank you."

"I find that the State has proved their case against you, and as a result, I must find you guilty." "I do wish I had some discretion as to a sentence, but the number of pills in your possession triggered what is called a mandatory minimum sentence of six to 30 years."

"If you can bring me evidence that will allow me to revisit your conviction," "I will gladly do so." "(gavel bangs)" "REESE:" "Mandatory minimum sentencing." "That's why I brought you four here together today." "Jim, Bob, just 'cause you're two of the most conservative lawyers" "I ever met doesn't mean you get to tease Cary and Diane about their backward liberal ways." "Anyway, this is one area where our political philosophies overlap." "Liberals think that mandatory minimums are draconian and unfair." "We think they're wasteful and unfair." "Either way, we agree:" "a policy that's failed." "Are we agreed on the test case?" "CARY:" "Yes, sir." "Steven Mercurio." "House painter." "He became addicted to painkillers after back surgery, gave some to a friend who turned out to be an undercover cop." "His mandatory sentence: 12 years." "Jim, Bob, we agreed on this?" "For an extra $200 an hour, you can actually get 'em to speak." "(chuckling)" "I think we should consider someone else." "Well, a divide in the liberal caucus." "What a surprise." "Louise Nolfi, a 62-year-old grandmother." "She delivered a package to the post office." "A drug-sniffing dog alerted to it." "They opened the package and found 26 tablets of MDMA, Ecstasy, a six-year mandatory minimum." "Where's the file?" "Oh, I don't have one." "I just came from court." "You've got a demo problem." "Jailed grandmothers, people can pity." "Jailed white guys, people can identify." "The house painter, I think." "R.D." "Meet her first." "Why?" "You should have all the facts." "Meeting grandmothers isn't facts." "It's manipulative kitsch." "And you know it." "Then why not meet her?" "You're gonna defend her either way, aren't you?" "Yes." "The soft-hearted liberal in her natural habitat." "Ms. Lockhart, Alicia's here." "(indistinct chatter) (phone rings)" "WOMAN:" "Lockhart, Agos  Lee." "How may I direct your call?"

"So... thank you..." "Alicia and I have been talking, as most of you know." "And I called her right after her... announcement." "DAVID:" "I wish you hadn't backed down," "Alicia." "Thank you, David." "And we've talked about it internally here, too, and... well... (chuckles) (chuckles)" "We want you to come back as name partner." "(inhales sharply, chuckles)" "And, um... you're not worried about my... situation?" "CARY:" "What, a voter fraud scandal?" "You mean, after I almost went to jail for six years?" "(chuckles)" "What about you, David?" "Do you agree with this?" "I agree with anything that maintains stability." "DIANE:" "Kalinda and I are having some troubles with the State's Attorney's Office." "We're dealing with it." "And... my exit package, we already negotiated it." "Bring your lawyer back in, and we'll figure it out." "This is home, Alicia." "Welcome home." "Thank you." "(phones ringing, indistinct chatter)" "(line ringing)" "Geneva Pine." "It's Cary." "What can I do for you?" "I've thought it over, and I'll do it." "Do what?" "Turn evidence against Bishop." "What evidence, Cary?" "I'll only do it if I have your guarantee you'll drop the charges against Kalinda and Diane." "Okay." "Give me a day to get some ducks in a row, and I'll get back to you." "Odd how things turn out." "A month ago, no one wanted to turn on Bishop." "Now everybody does." "That was Cary." "What do you need from me?" "Evidence on Bishop's drug operation, his subsidiary businesses, all illegal activities." "Look, I won't testify." "Get me something I can use independently and you won't need to testify." "You can't make a deal with Cary." "I told him I needed a day." "Get me something before then." "NOLFI:" "I'm not gonna talk about my grandson." "He's turning his life around." "I know, Mrs. Nolfi." "The truth is, the judge is sympathetic with your situation, but we need to give him a reason to overturn your verdict." "Have you talked to your public defender?" "Mr. Bollinger?" "No." "Why?" "Well, the judge may be angry with Mr. Bollinger for not doing a better job." "We can overturn the verdict by arguing ineffective assistance." "I don't want to get him in trouble."

"And in our courts, all men are... created... equal." "So is this what made you want to become a lawyer?" "No." "It made a lot of... people at school want to become lawyers, but they're all... prosecutors and tax lawyers now." " ...reality." " GRACE:" "I like when people give speeches, and it makes other people change their mind." "I know." "Me, too." "Do you ever get to do that?" "In court?" "No." "It's mostly about facts and evidence." "Most of the time you don't really have someone you believe in." "That's too bad." "Maybe it'll be different this time." "What do you mean?" "I'm going back to the law firm." "What?" "(chuckles)" "That's great." "That's great." "In the name of God... do your duty." "(phone ringing)" "Um, do you want me to pause it?" "No." "I know how it ends." "Mr. Gallagher, hello." "Thank you for returning my call." "I know you were wondering if I was heading back to my firm, and it looks like I am." "You are?" "You're going back now?" "Yes." "Definitely." "But I just got a call from Lockhart/Agos saying you weren't going back." "Oh, well, that's a mistake." "Uh, it-it must be an old message." "No, I just got it an hour ago." "From who?" "David Lee?" "No, Diane Lockhart." "You..." "Diane called you?" "Yeah, she was worried I would leave the firm, and I told her I was keeping my options open." "So she asked me to hold off on calling you for a day or two." "That surprised me, so I'm calling you now." "Uh, Mr. Gallagher, I'm gonna... have to get back to you, okay?" "Of course." "Damn it." "They had no intention of bringing me back." "They never did." "They have been playing out this charade so they can cherry-pick my clients." "Well, even if they are, you can't make it personal." "Sure, I can." "I started that firm." "Here." "In my home." "We had so few outlets, we were running cables into Grace's room." "Then hit 'em back." "Florrick-Agos..." "Or whatever they're called now..." "They're not the only game in town." "You have other options." "I'm officially a scandal, Peter." "You should know that better than anyone." " No one wants a sullied lawyer." " They want a good lawyer, and you have enough clients to go on your own." "(heavy sigh)" "I'm just tired, Peter." "All right, answer me this." "If you went solo, how many of your clients would follow?" "I don't know." "Maybe 20." "Well, that's a pretty good book of business for day one." "Where would I even get the seed money?" "Your exit package." "Go back in there... make as if nothing's wrong, just be all smiles, and then get them to rip up your exit package." "You lost a lot of money on that package, right?" "Hmm?" "(hip-hop music playing)" "Kalinda." "Dex." "What do you want?" "Did you know that Bishop's leaving the business?" "What business?" "(siren wailing in distance)" "He's, uh... he's worried about being betrayed, so he's turning evidence." "Where'd you hear that?" " Geneva Pine." " The ASA?" "(scoffs) She's playing you." "He's doing it for Dylan." "Wants to stay out of jail so he can be a dad." "Look, Pine says there's room for only one person to turn evidence." "You need to get out of my car." "I came to you because I want to keep my job." "Bishop goes... you'll be number one." "♪ ♪" "Hey." "If this is some type of a loyalty test from Bishop, you tell him I said to kiss my ass." "I would never turn on him, ever." "Thank you for taking the time to listen to our concerns." "No problem..." "That's why we're here." "And thank you for listening to our concerns." "No problem." "Happy to accommodate." "So you would like to renegotiate your exit package?" "Mm, no, not renegotiate; rescind." " Ah." "Meaning what?" " Meaning:" "since I am returning, it seems more sensible to just..." " void it." " Like Alicia never left." "Well, the issue, of course..." "And it's an unfortunate one..." "Is that Alicia's equity is already settled out." "Mm, on the cheap." "Which was understandable at the time, but Alicia's going to need to be made whole again if she returns, and rather than waste time restoring the status quo, it makes more sense just to keep the status quo," "don't you think?" "Well, Alicia, I think all David is saying is this proposal is a bit of a curveball." "More of a slider, I'd say..." "Give us a couple of swings, you can probably still hit it." "No problem." "Take all the time you need." "Alicia..." "I didn't believe it before, but I think you're right..." "They're playing you." "Why do you think that?" "Because they should've just said no to rescinding your exit package, but they delayed." " They're stalling you." " To get my clients?" "Mm-hmm." "So what do I do?" "Start working the phones fast." "Get your clients on board before they do, because... they don't want you back." " We want her back, David." " Yes, but if we tear up her exit contract, she gets all her power back." "First-tier equity package, a seat on the..." "CARY:" "What difference does it make?" " We want her back." " Yes, but on our terms, not hers." "She's a founding member of this firm." " I say we swallow the cost." " And I say you two are burning money out of a misguided sense of loyalty." "Let's at least run it" " by the finance committee." " DIANE:" "Fine." "But let's start calling back Alicia's clients, assuring them she's staying." "I'm afraid Alicia might get the wrong idea if she heard that we were calling them before." "You have been a public defender for less than a year, Mr. Bollinger?" "Yeah." "Ten months." "Oops." "Sorry." "I see." "And, um..." "So how familiar are you with Illinois criminal procedure?" "I've been getting up to speed." "It's complicated, though." "Looking for Louise's file." "Oh, here it is." "Uh... sorry about the mustard stain." "So, um... you made the decision not to take issue" " with the prosecution's charge of intent to distribute?" " Oh, that's right." "Yeah, there's video evidence of her mailing a package with 26 tabs of Ecstasy." " These are good notes." " Thank you." "Yeah, that's the way Justice Ginsburg liked them." "Justice Ginsburg?" "As in, um..." "The Supreme Court justice." "Yeah." "I clerked with her for a year before joining the Justice Department." "Look, I-I think you're going to have a hard time proving ineffective assistance, unfortunately." "I mean, that's what you're going for, right?" " I'm incompetent?" " No hard feelings, but yeah." "I wish I could have given you something, but unfortunately, I did a pretty good job at trial." "I mean, if she were a regular street criminal, you could get her into a probationary program" " like TASC." " For drug addicts?" "Right." "She wouldn't see a day of jail." "It's odd... her having never used drugs is actually worse." "She could get probation if you could prove she's a drug addict." " Unbelievable." " Yeah." "I was going to talk to her presentencing officer" " about it..." " That's a good idea." "I will go do that." "Only in America, right?" "You know, you're a grandma, go to jail." "You're a drug addict, go to rehab." "You wonder why people like me are into smaller government." "Oh, yes, that's right..." "Smaller government would have no such ironies." " Perhaps there'd be smaller ironies." " Seriously?" "That's your experience of life?" " Smaller things are purer?" " It actually is my experience of life, yeah." " Do you want me to step out?" " Stay put." "What I find disgusting is the Republicans will starve a democracy of funds, and then complain that society's dysfunctional." "Nobody is starving anybody of anything." "Mr. Gallagher, I wanted to get back to you first." "Diane made a mistake yesterday." "As it turns out..." "Alicia Florrick is returning to the fold." "Dear God, you all need to get your stories straight." "I have Alicia right now on the other line, and she says she's starting her own firm and she wants me to come with her." "Uh, Jim, can you give me a moment?" "(Diane speaking quietly)" "I'll check in with them." "Oh." "Uh, David," " do you know Reese Dipple?" " Only by reputation." "David Lee, family law." " Very nice to meet you, sir." " Call me R.D." "R.D. Simple, American." "I'm a conservative, too, sir." "Really?" "Yes." "Diane, do you have a minute?" "Alicia's playing us." "What do you mean?" "She's on the phone, as we speak, trying to steal James Gallagher away." "She's starting her own firm." "Again." "She's dragging this out so we won't pursue her clients." "Meanwhile, she's locking them down." " Then why would she insist on voiding her exit package?" " For money." "So she doesn't have to renegotiate her contract with a gun to her head." "Gallagher just called me..." "I got him on hold." "While he's got her on hold." "Uh, Cary." "We need a minute." "Jim, uh, I have Cary Agos and Diane Lockhart here with me." "We just want to reiterate how much your business means to us." "I appreciate that, but I just want some stability, do you understand?" "Mr. Gallagher, you say you have Alicia on the other line right now?" "Yep." "Why don't you tell her you'll get back to her, and we will resolve this shortly." "Fine." "But I got to tell you, this is starting to get old." " I don't believe it." " That's because the last time she pulled this crap, you were on her side." "You really want to get into this now?" "Stop it." "Stop." "Alicia's watching." "(rapid beeping)" "Dad?" "Mr. Bishop?" "He must be up." "(beeping stops)" "I'll, uh, wait in the car till he gets back."
