"(Phone ringing, distant chatter)" "CLARKE:" "So, you're the newest member of litigation?" "Newest returning member of litigation." "I left and came back." "And do you believe you've made a worthy contribution in the time you've been here?" "Since I've been back here?" "Yes." "Yes, I do." "I tried 140 cases as an ASA." "That makes me an asset on criminal cases." "And do you have family here?" "In Chicago?" "Um, no, I'm married to my work." "(Laughs)" "And if the firm had to downsize the litigation department, tell me why we should keep you over, say..." "Alicia Florrick." "Um, well, I have more transactional experience." "Also more billable hours." "And I-I don't like saying it, but some partners have... issues with Alicia." "Hmm." "And what are those?" "Those issues?" "The office she's in." "It's the largest of any fourth-year, and it's the only one on the twenty-eighth floor." "And if the firm had to downsize, tell me why we should keep you over other fourth-year associates." "I'm good." "Better than-- let's see" "John Gaultner?" "I'm not playing that game, Mr. Hayden." "What game?" "Thunderdome." "Lawyers only, sir." "(Laughs)" "You here to see if I screw up?" "Just wishing you good luck your first case back." "And look at you with all your little tabs." "Like a good first-year." "Introduction to Trial Law, just in case." "(Laughing)" "How's this for ironies, Will?" "I was there at the end, now I'm here at the beginning." "Good luck." "Thanks, Lionel." "I heard you were on this." " I'm looking forward to getting into it." " Yeah." " Good first case." " Mm-hmm." "He's tired." "And his theory of the case is weak." "Just imagine how embarrassing it'll be if you don't beat him." "Okay, thanks." "You can go now." "(Laughs)" "CROWD (Chanting):" "No to NATO!" "No to war!" "NotoNATO!" "Notowar!" "No to NATO!" "No to war!" "(Siren blaring)" "No to NATO!" "No to war!" "No to... (Overlapping shouting and chatter)" "That was taken during the anti-NATO demonstrations last May?" "Yes." "And who is that there?" "I believe that's Tyler Beacham, the assailant." "You mean the victim?" "Objection." "Actually, both characterizations seem objectionable." "Let's just leave it as "Mr. Beacham."" "Thank you, Your Honor." "Mr. Beacham is the son of my client." " Correct?" "MAN:" "Yes." "And she's suing the city of Chicago for wrongful death?" "(Overlapping shouting)" "MAN:" "Down!" "Down!" "(People screaming) Get back!" "Get back!" "Stop him!" "MAN 2:" "Get off me!" "WOMAN:" "You're killing him!" "Get off me!" "Get off me!" "(Yells)" "That's you shooting Mr. Beacham with a stun gun..." "He charged at me." "He kept charging at me." "The video doesn't show all that." "WILL:" "And how many times did you send 40,000 volts through his body?" "Objection, Your Honor." "The stun gun is set at 40,000, but when the probes make contact with the skin, the voltage drops to 1,400." "If I remember my Harvard physics class correctly, Mr. Deerfield," "I believe you're right." "Sustained." "1,400 volts." "That's much better." "(Indistinct shouting)" "Stop it!" "Tyler." "Can you breathe?" "Can you breathe?" "(Siren blaring)" "WILL:" "How many times did you jolt him with 1,400 volts?" "MAN:" "Three times." "WILL:" "And what happened after you shot him the third time with 1,400 volts?" "Nothing." "He wasn't moving." "I radioed for medical help, but..." "But he died before they arrived." "(Sighs)" "Help him!" "Help him!" "(Indistinct shouting)" "What happened?" "Down!" "(Indistinct shouting)" "(Siren blaring, overlapping shouting)" "Here it is." "Go ahead." "$800,000." "Whoa!" "Nice sum for the first time out." "I don't think I've ever seen you smile, Mr. Hayden." "I smile." "Good job." "WILL:" "Let's throw it back." "DIANE:" "What?" "WILL:" "We can do better." "I haven't even questioned the fiancée." "Will, this is a good offer." "The city doesn't like to pay on wrongful death." "You won." "Say yes." "Let me have the fiancée." "She'll have the jury in tears." "We can double this." "No." "Actually, it's not up to you, Mr. Hayden." "You represent our creditors." "As such, you can tell us not to take a case." "But you can't tell us when to take an award." "That's up to the client." "(Sighs)" "This is how you got into this hole." "Placing passion over pragmatism." "He came close to crossing the line there, didn't he?" "He did." "We pushed back, appropriately." "So where are we?" "We need $60 million to get out of debt." "David Lee has pulled in some receivables." "Cuesta paid up." "Sweeney's been good." "Leaving us well on our way with $2 million." "He's forcing us to sell the 27th floor." "We'll be like steerage up here." "I know." "And yet, you seem... becalmed." "Our landlord went bankrupt." "I saw that, but somebody took over our lease." "Maddie Hayward." "Right, the semiconductor lady." "I think I'm missing why this is good." "Maddie is a new member of Emily's List." "You know her?" "Enough." "You'll talk to her?" "Well, doesn't hurt to ask." "You'll win this case, right?" "Doing my best." " Help him in court." "ALICIA:" "Will?" "He's fine." "I know." "He's better when he has someone to impress." "John Gaultner's on it." "I'll tell him." "No." "John's been let go." "When?" "An hour ago." "The trustee made cuts." "Kalinda, where the hell are you?" "This is my fourth call." "I need you on this case." "(Children laughing)" "You left me." "Yep." "You left me hanging." "My lowest point." "I wish I'd seen your face." "Two years inside, I get out," "I expect my loving wife to be there." "Instead, you take my money, and you burn my clothes." "Did you cry?" "Seriously." "Did it make you cry?" "I don't remember you being such a bitch." "You have a bad memory." "Do you remember this?" "(Children chattering)" "Huh?" "I remember you being better at it." "WOMAN:" "Sheryl Sandberg thinks we can have it all." "Anne-Marie Savage thinks we can't have it all." "All I can think is, uh, what the hell?" "(Laughter)" "Have you ever heard a man wonder if he could have it all?" "(Applause)" "So why are we saddled with so much... guilt?" "I have enough Catholic and Jewish guilt." "Now I'm getting feminist guilt." "Thank you very much." "(Laughter and applause)" "Maddie?" "Yes?" "Diane, right?" "Right." "Lockhart/Gardner." " I hear we're going to be neighbors." " We are?" "Oh, that's right." "Of course." "Uh, you're on the 28th floor?" " 27th through the 29th." " Wow." "Well, we will be right above and below you, so if you ever want to borrow a cup of sugar..." "Nice meeting you." "Actually, uh, Maddie, maybe we could talk sometime." "I hate to mention this, but, uh, you're our new landlord, and we would love to discuss some relief on a new payment schedule." "I'm on my way to another meeting right now, but why don't you put together a proposal and give my team a call?" "Because that's really who you should be" " speaking to on this." " Thank you." "Wonderful speech." "Oh." "You have someone working at your firm, uh, that I read about." "Someone in litigation?" " Yes." "Will Gardner." " No." "That woman that stood by her husband." "Alicia Florrick." " Yes." "She's a fourth-year associate." " Hmm." "I read an interview with her." "Yes, actually, she's on the reorganization committee." "Great." "Have her call." "(Sighs)" "WILL:" "Would you like to take a moment?" "He wasn't even protesting." "He just came down to see me." "I was the true believer, not Tyler." " He proposed to you?" " Yes." "A month earlier." "We were hoping to get married in August." "WILL:" "And this was the last time you saw him?" "(Shouting) Yes." "I..." "I just wanted to hold him one last time." "(Sniffles)" "Nothing further, Your Honor." "WOMAN:" "Oh, God." "Mr. Deerfield, any questions?" "No questions, Your Honor." "(Whispering):" "Where's John?" "JUDGE TEMPLE:" "Thank you." "(Whispering):" "He got laid off." "TEMPLE:" "Ms. Schweikert, you are excused." "And, uh, why don't we reconvene tomorrow at 9:00?" "I have my Harvard" "Alumni Association meeting, and I'm sure you all..." "Attorneys, please approach the bench." "Ms. Schweikert, may I have you remain on the witness stand?" "I'm sure you're all familiar with Illinois Supreme Court Rule 243, which took effect last July." "Refresh my memory." "Well, we haven't had a chance to exercise it until now." ""The court may permit jurors in civil cases to submit written questions directed at witnesses."" "I received just such a question now from the jury." "Now, the rule requires that I ask if you have any objections..." "I do, Your Honor." "I've designed my case to lead the jury to a certain conclusion." "If we start allowing them to take us on flights of fancy..." "Well, I am inclined to overrule," "Mr. Deerfield." "As my civil procedure professor at Harvard used to say," ""You can never have too many knights in the quest for justice."" "Step back, please." "What do you think?" "Might be good." "It'll give us insight into the jury's thinking." "TEMPLE:" "Ms. Schweikert, we have one additional question, and this one is from the jury." "Are you ready?" "SCHWEIKERT:" "I am, sir." ""Why weren't you wearing your engagement ring on the day of the protest?"" "Excuse me, Your Honor." "I'm very happy that the jury is participating-- uh, we welcome that-- but I believe this question brings up facts not in evidence." "TEMPLE:" "Yes, I thought so, too, but there's a parenthetical here:" ""My question is based on the two photos."" "I think the juror is commenting on the ring there... and not there, and the fact Ms. Schweikert is wearing it now." "So I'll overrule that objection." "Ms. Schweikert, do you need me to repeat the question?" "SCHWEIKERT:" "No, Your Honor." "I..." "I don't know." "Permission to redirect, Your Honor?" "Granted." "Brianna, isn't it true that you simply left your ring at home that day so as not to risk it" " getting stolen?" " Objection." "Leading the witness." "And poorly, at that." "TEMPLE:" "Sustained." "Sorry, Your Honor." "I'll rephrase." "Brianna, do you remember why you didn't wear your ring that day?" "Yes, because I was afraid it might get stolen or lost." "Thank you." "No further questions." "WILL:" "What the hell was that?" "I've suddenly got Columbo on the jury?" "Kalinda, where are you?" "We've got a problem." "ALICIA:" "So you broke off the engagement?" "At the protest?" "I'm..." "I'm so sorry." "I-I should have told you, but I-I thought it would look bad." "Well, she did it." "She broke it off." "Damn it." "So where does that leave us?" "We lost our sympathy component." "And possibly the sympathy of the jury." "CLARKE:" "And the offer on the table?" "I don't think it's been undercut." "Well, then let's wrap this up before it is undercut." "Mrs. Florrick, do you have a minute?" "DIANE:" "Actually, Alicia," "I need a second, too." "I'll be right with you." "DIANE:" "You're familiar with the lease relief portion of our bankruptcy plan?" "Yes." "WILL:" "We need you to present it to our new landlord." "You want me to do it?" "Yes." "Do you know Maddie Hayward?" "No." "I-I mean, by name." "She bought the building." "She moved half her semiconductor business here, and we want you to present our restructuring proposal to her." "Without you?" "DIANE:" "Yes." "Just to give it the personal touch." "Where the hell were you?" "Hi, Will." "Five calls." "To your cell." "What, you're not even checking?" "Um, I-I've been busy." "What do you need?" "I have a rogue juror out there who seems to know some background information on the case." "Which case?" "Kalinda, what is going on?" "Nothing." "I-I was gone, but now I'm back." "The police, wrongful death suit." "I need you to sit down with Cary and find out whether we can excuse this juror." "Did he or she lie during voir dire about knowing our clients?" "All right." "Kalinda." "This matters." "We work for the trustee now, and I am out on a limb here." "Okay, look, I'm on it." "(Cell phone buzzing)" "Yes?" "NICK:" "Tonight, I'm going to pick you up." "You worked with Allison Saybach in mergers and acquisitions?" "Yes." "How was she?" "Great." "Really good." "Why?" "There were some tensions last year over the Sweeney proxy fight?" "Yes, well, that was just about who would take the case." "Ah." "We settled that." "Everything turned out great, and she's very nice." "Hmm." "It's an overpopulated department." "Yes, I know..." "I mean, I don't..." "I don't know if that's true." "Mrs. Florrick, we're in an overfull lifeboat." "I have to trim mergers and acquisitions, and I'm asking your opinion." "I like Allison Saybach, and I don't know anyone else in that department." "Thank you." "What does he want?" "I don't know." "There seems to be a therapy couch in my office these days." "What's up?" "Your new client, the tow truck magnate..." "Yeah, he is coming in with incorporation papers today." "Could you sit in?" "I think he wants to go over options." "He's my husband." "Huh." "Yeah." "Uh..." "I, uh..." "Did you send him to us?" "No." "God, no." "He..." "Look, he brought his business here because I work here." "He's trying to throw down roots in Chicago." "Uh, I don't want him to." " Was he the voice on the phone?" " No." "That was the man that works for him." " Is he dangerous, your husband?" " I don't know." "You said he was." "He was, but..." "Okay." "So I should drop the case." "You should." "Thanks." "Yep, I'm exhausted, and it's not even noon." "MAN:" "Dr. Joseph Ladera." "I am a licensed medical examiner with 15 years experience at the Dayton Crime Lab." "And where did you receive your doctorate?" "Harvard." "TEMPLE:" "Really?" "What year?" "1985 to 1989." "1983." "It's good to have a Harvard man here." "I'm surrounded by Georgetown philistines." " Welcome." " Thank you." "ALICIA:" "Now, the defendant," "Officer Mallen, testified that he pepper-sprayed the victim before turning to his stun gun." "Why is that problematic?" "Pepper spray-- oleoresin capsicum-- can inhibit a subject's breathing by causing the throat to constrict..." "Jurors number three, six and 11 wrote something down so far, but I can't tell if it's just notes or a question." "ALICIA:" "So you're already gasping for breath when you're hit with an electric shock which compromises your system?" "Correct." "It'd be like having the wind knocked out of you, literally." "And what about three electrical shocks?" "LADERA:" "That would compound the danger exponentially." "ALICIA:" "So, Dr. Ladera, the use of a stun gun three times after the subject has already been pepper sprayed, wouldn't that constitute excessive force?" " Objection." " I'll withdraw." "Thank you." "MAN:" "Willingham Securities." "Used to be the biggest in the country." "Now look, as you can see, it's ready for a new tenant whenever you're ready to move in." " Mrs. Florrick." " Ms. Hayward?" "Maddie." "Or, uh, Miss Hayward." "I don't mind being objectified." "So we're here to discuss renegotiating your firm's lease?" "Yes." "Like a lot of other firms these days, we're having a momentary cash-flow problem, and we'll be forced to lose two of our three floors..." "How long have you worked at Lockhart/Gardner?" "How long?" "Four years." "This is my fourth." " And you like it?" " I do." "Do a lot of people ask you about standing by your husband?" "They do." "Oh, they did." "It's died down a bit." "Well, he's running again, so it seems like they'll probably start up again." "I think you're right." "Do these questions make you uncomfortable?" "No." "MAN:" "Electricity and I.T. are ready to go." "It's all in move-in condition." " Look at that space..." " That's my driver." "I bring him along." "They think he's the buyer." "I get some time alone." "Um, so are you campaigning with your husband?" "Yes." "And you agree with him politically?" "Enough." "I can't find five people in the world" "I agree with politically." "So will you consider our proposal?" "Do you have to head off?" "I came right from court." "Lunch break." "Okay, well, um, leave this with me, and if I have any questions..?" "My number's right there." "Cell phone number?" "Yes." "Bye." "Uh, Dr. Ladera, what is excited delirium?" "A condition that combines psychomotor agitation and aggressive behavior." "DEERFIELD:" "Such as the behavior exhibited by Mr. Beacham that day?" "Officer Mallen has testified that he just wouldn't stay down." "Objection, Your Honor." "Is Mr. Deerfield testifying?" "I'll rephrase." "Uh, excited delirium has been linked to drug use, hasn't it?" "Yes, mainly stimulants, such as cocaine." "So did you perform a tox screen on Mr. Beacham as part of your autopsy?" "LADERA:" "Yes." "It didn't turn up any evidence of cocaine use." "But isn't it true that some amphetamines are undetectable after as little as five hours?" "Objection." "Your Honor, not in evidence." "Mr. Deerfield is trying to bias the jury by implying that the victim had drugs in his system." "TEMPLE:" "Sustained." "No further questions." "TEMPLE:" "Thank you, Mr. Ladera." "You're excused." "Oops, wait a minute!" "It seems we have another question from the jury." " Who?" " I have no idea." "I-I didn't see them hand it to the sheriff." "TEMPLE:" "And again, I must thank our jurors for participating so actively in the process." "If there are no objections." "So, Dr. Ladera, the question is this:" ""Would antidepressants show up on the tox screen you performed?"" "LADERA:" "That's an interesting question." "It'd depend on the type, but, uh, generally, no." "We did a basic ten-point analysis." "You'd have to do an expanded screen to find evidence of most antidepressants." "Thank you, Doctor." "You're excused." "DEERFIELD:" "Actually, Your Honor, permission to reexamine." "TEMPLE:" "Doctor, we're not letting you go just yet." "Dr. Ladera, is it safe to say that the presence of antidepressants might indicate that someone was suffering from depression?" "It is safe." "And depression can cause someone to behave in a... an agitated, even an aggressive fashion," " can it not?" " Under some circumstances," "I suppose." "Uh, especially if someone has recently experienced a catastrophic event." "Such as, for example, uh, the breakup of an engagement." "Objection." "Beyond the scope." "Overruled, but I might be inclined to sustain on the grounds of foundation regarding the antidepressants." "Hmm, I... have no objection at this time on those grounds, Your Honor." "Then I'll see counsel in my chambers." "No, no, no, Mr. Gardner, you're not objecting on foundational grounds because there is a foundation." "Your Honor, we've complied with all discovery requests" " from the defense counsel." " Bull." "We requested discovery on all the medical records." "No one ever told us about the use of antidepressants." "Because you requested records from the past two years." "Mr. Beacham saw a psychiatrist briefly three years ago." " Your Honor..." " This psychiatrist" " prescribed antidepressants?" " Yes, but again, we have no recent record" " of the victim refilling that prescription." " Your Honor, this is the triumph of form over substance." " In the interest of justice..." " Yes, I quite agree." "Mrs. Florrick, Mr. Gardner, you will turn over all of this evidence." "And if I find out you've withheld anything else, there will be sanctions." "What?" "Where are you on a settlement?" "Well, where are you?" "Eight hundred thousand." "Oh, you mean the offer you turned down?" "Mm-hmm." "(Laughing)" "You got to love the jury system." "So tell me that again." "Well... again, we have reviewed our caseload and we're a little overscheduled at the moment." "So, um, we have suggestions of other firms you might try." "Well, you know, I'm ready to incorporate for the bid." "Yes, and we're happy to have contributed to it, but, um, we're going to have to back out now." "What am I missing here?" "I don't know." "I don't think anything." "(Sighs)" "Okay." "Mrs. Florrick." "(Clicks tongue)" "(Elevator bell dings)" "CARY:" "As far as we can tell, the questions were written on yellow paper, and these seven are the only ones with yellow legal pads." "The ring question suggests a woman." "Or someone who knew Brianna." "Did you run the jurors by her?" "Yeah, she didn't recognize anyone." "Checked their backgrounds, couldn't find any connection to her." "And the antidepressant question?" "Any doctors or spouses of doctors?" "No." "Someone had a paramedic as a brother-in-law, but that's it." "So we're nowhere?" "Here." "The voir dire form of juror number five" " Emma Hanahan." "What am I looking at?" "Number of children." "She wrote three, crossed it out and wrote two." "It's a common error when a parent loses a child." " Force of habit." " The antidepressants?" "Suggests that she could have some personal experience with depression." "Check it out." "I can't get her excused, but if I know it's her," "I can argue to her." "Oh, we're done." "How did it go?" "Fine." "You?" "DIANE:" "Alicia, do you have a minute?" " Yes." " Later." "Sorry, things are a bit chaotic." "How did it go with Maddie?" "Good" " I think." "She didn't want to talk about the lease much." "Yes, well, she's a funny one, but she seemed" " open to the proposal?" " I think." "I gave her my number in case she wanted to call." "Why don't you call her?" "(Knocking)" "Sorry." "This is awful." "The trustee let mergers and acquisitions go." "What?" "He let it go?" "Yeah, well, not all of it." "Allison Saybach, oddly enough." "Not sure what she's going to do on her own." "PETER:" "Well, yes, money is... always a concern, but we have campaign finance laws for a reason," "(Door opens) and I'm not going to jeopardize" " the campaign..." " Psst." "Psst." "Peter, I am so sorry." "I have to grab you for a moment." "Bobby, I will bring him right back." "Come on." "Eli, what are you doing?" "I don't know what happened." "We were worried about money," " then suddenly..." " Suddenly what?" "MADDIE:" "Hello, Peter." " Miss Hayward," " meet Peter Florrick." " Miss Hayward." "It's so nice to meet you." "I, uh, only know you from reading Forbes," " but I've always been a fan." " Thank you." "I think I'm becoming a fan of yours, as well." "Has Eli been bending your ear?" "No, I've just met Eli, but your wife has." " Alicia?" " Yes." "You seem surprised." "No, no, I-I, uh..." "I didn't know you knew each other." "Well, we just met yesterday, but I am thinking about contributing to your campaign." "Really?" "I thought you only contributed to female candidates." "I do... mostly support female candidates, but, um, I like your wife." "You two are separated?" " No." " Yes." "But she's supporting you?" " They're trying to work things out." " Yes." "By not sleeping with prostitutes?" "If I do support you, do I have to worry about that-- another prostitute?" "Another mistress?" "A furtive kiss on the campaign bus?" "No, you don't." "And why is that?" "Because I just told you." "Peter's changed." "That's why." "I don't believe people can change." "You know what?" "I didn't, either." "And then, of course, I went to prison." "WILL:" "And you were his therapist?" "The deceased, Tyler Beacham's therapist?" "MAN:" "Yes, I saw Mr. Beacham for a short time about three years ago." "He came to me suffering from nervousness" " and related insomnia." " But not depression?" "Not the deep depression from a family tragedy?" "That's correct." "He'd been laid off from his job, which caused him some mild anxiety, but in my opinion, he was not clinically depressed." " And yet you prescribed him an SSRI?" " Yes, but not to treat depression." "Certain antidepressants are also useful for the treatment of anxiety and to help regulate sleep patterns." "Thank you, Doctor." "Dr. Zarovich, the specific drug which you chose to prescribe was called Elvatyl?" "ZAROVICH:" "Yes, at that time, Elvatyl seemed to have the best response rate for insomnia" " and related anxiety." " "At that time?"" " You mean you no longer prescribe Elvatyl?" " No, I don't." " Why is that?" " Other drugs are more effective." "Well, isn't it true that Elvatyl is known to have numerous damaging side effects?" "The science on that is unclear." "Really?" "Mr. Gardner here won a lawsuit on just those..." " Objection." "Relevance." " Admit it, Will." "You won the case by attacking Elvatyl's suicidal side effects." "Your Honor, I have an objection." "DEERFIELD:" "Uh, Your Honor, Mr. Beacham taking a drug that could alter his brain chemistry is perfectly relevant." "In fact, there was a study on Elvatyl's side effects at, uh, let me see..." "Harvard Medical School." "Really?" "Do you have it here?" "I do, You Honor." "TEMPLE:" "I think I'll allow a little leeway here." "Isn't it possible, Dr. Zarovich, that Elvatyl's side effects were what led you to stop prescribing it?" "That may have been a factor." "So a person takes a drug designed to combat depression that instead intensifies that depression, leading to suicidal ideation." "Isn't it possible that such a person could be driven to commit, in effect, "suicide by cop,"" "right in front of a person who's..." "Objection, Your Honor, this is rank speculation." " Sustained." "Mr. Deerfield..." " Nothing further, Your Honor." "Well, it appears we'll have a number of questions from the jury this time." "Shut the door." "(Sighs)" "I said shut the door." "Where are you going?" "You are really pissing me off." "You're so stupid." "Why do you hurt me?" "Shut up." "I love you." "I always will." "Lie back." "Where have you been, baby?" "(Protesters shouting)" "Carl Bayliss, can we talk?" "I didn't know Tyler that well." "Brianna was the one that was really involved." "Tyler was the last guy" "I thought'd get into it with a cop." "The defense is saying that he behaved erratically that day, provoking the cop." "Did you see anything like that?" "No, dude was always pretty calm." "I couldn't believe he got stickered." "Stickered?" "What's that?" "Oh." "Undercover cops were going around, sticking these on your back if they thought you were a troublemaker." "They called it extraction." "They'd come back later and pull out all the black-bloc anarchists." "And you got that on the day of the protest?" "No, I wish I had." "I bought this later." "But Tyler Beacham got one?" "Yeah, on his backpack." "I remember seeing it when he walked by." "Can I take a picture?" "Uh, yeah." "(Overlapping shouting)" "♪ ♪" "ELI:" "Alicia, I really don't know how to thank you." "For what, Eli?" "Maddie Hayward-- getting her on board." "On...?" "What are you talking about?" "She's supporting Peter's campaign because of you." " What?" " I owe you." "Mrs. Florrick, do you have a minute?" "Sure." "Let's go." "CLARKE:" "Any thought to Amy Hampton," "Gus Nathanson and Bruce Garvin?" "In family law?" "Mm-hmm." "I like all of them." "That doesn't sound very... genuine." "I just feel like I have been put in an uncomfortable position, Mr. Hayden." "And what position is that?" "Arbiter of people's fates." "(Sighs)" "I am conferring with other people, Mrs. Florrick." "You're hardly an arbiter of anything." "Of course, you're right." "I'm sorry." "No, that's okay." "Thanks." "I like them all." "Uh, all three people that you mentioned-- I like them all." "Good." "Thanks." "Alicia, hi." "I'm not stalking you, I promise." "I had to meet a judge here-- Kate Conroy in probate." " Do you know her?" " I don't." "Well, I'm backing her for Illinois Appellate Court, uh, but I knew you had a case, so, while I was here, I thought..." "Eli told me you're backing Peter?" "Yes." "I don't know what to say." "Thank you." "And I hope you didn't think that I was..." "No, not at all." "No, I was, uh..." "I was impressed." "Speaking of which, um, this is a little bit awkward, so I'm just going to say it." "Would you like to have a drink sometime?" "Look, Maddie, I'm flattered, really, really." "I just..." "I'm married." "Oh, um..." "I-I wasn't hitting on you." "(Laughing):" "I'm sorry." "Oh, no." "Well, now it's really awkward." "Oh, God, sorry, I just misunderstood, and this day-- it's just been one thing after another." "Yes, don't worry about it." "I just-- look..." "Well, the thing is, I don't have many friends, Alicia." "There, I said it." "Uh, sometimes it's hard, um, to know if someone wants to be your friend or if they want something from you." "I can imagine." "So, um..." "I'm going to say it again." "Would you like to have a drink sometime?" "(Laughs)" "What's so funny?" "I just don't remember the last time someone just approached me for a drink, and I would be delighted." "How's that?" "Good." "Good." "We're talking like normal human beings." "(Laughs)" "Uh, how about tomorrow night?" "Sounds good." "Looking forward." "WILL:" "So," "Officer, the protest that day-- that was your first riot squad duty, wasn't it?" "Well, we don't actually call it the riot squad." "I was assigned out of the 27th district, patrol division." "But it was your first time doing crowd control at a large-scale confrontational event?" " Yes." " Your adrenaline was pumping?" " I guess so." " So tell me about the stickers, the red stickers." "LIONEL:" "Objection, Your Honor." " Foundation." " Your Honor, undercover police officers put red stickers on troublesome protesters they deem worthy of extraction" " from the more peaceful protesters." " Your Honor, you can't just feed the foundation into the record." "Which is why I'm asking the question of Officer Mallen." "Overruled." "So, Officer Mallen, you saw a red sticker on Tyler Beacham's backpack, didn't you?" " No." " You didn't see this?" "That's you right there in the video, and you didn't see it?" "The red sticker right there." " I didn't see it." " But you see it now?" "No." "You don't see it now in this still?" "No." "(Clears throat)" "Oh, you mean on the screen there?" "Yeah, yeah," " I-I see that." " Good." "Maybe Mr. Deerfield can clear his throat twice for yes." "(Scattered laughter)" "Unfortunately, what Mr. Beacham had on his backpack wasn't a red sticker." "It was a happy-face button." "You see that there?" "You see the smile?" " Yeah, I-I can see that." " Good." "Now let's fast-forward a bit." "After you pepper-sprayed Tyler and sent 1,400 volts through his body and after he died, there, look." "What's missing from his backpack?" "What isn't there any more?" "I understand why you don't want to answer." "The button isn't there any more." " Because you removed it?" "LIONEL:" "Objection-- argumentative." "I'm merely asking the question." " You are not." " You removed the red button because you made a mistake and you were trying to cover your tracks." " Objection." " Isn't that correct?" "Sustained." "He charged at me." "What does it matter about the sticker?" "Who cares whether it's gone?" "It was there before." "But you said you didn't see it before." "Your Honor, this line of questioning should be excluded from the record." "No, it shouldn't, Mr. Deerfield, no." "Thank you, Your Honor." "No further questions." "Mrs. Florrick." "Mr. Hayden, hi." "I saw you dropped a client" "Nick Saverese, his government contract, tow trucks." "Yes, um, I think the case had some irregularities." "What irregularities?" "Mr. Saverese is trying to skirt the requirements" " of the law." " Mrs. Florrick, this firm is in dire straits and we need all the business we can get, so tell him you made a mistake" " and the firm is retaining his business." " Mr. Hayden," "I'm not sure that's advisable." "Thank you." "Tell him you made a mistake and the firm is retaining his business." "Yes?" "I talked to Maddie Hayward." "She isn't going to renegotiate." "She has other tenants who want to expand and she's worried about the precedent." "I'm sorry." "But she is giving to your husband's campaign." "I know." "I'm... stunned." "You have no idea how this happened?" "That she's giving to Peter's campaign?" "No." "I talked to her about bankruptcy." "She asked me about Peter." "I never solicited her." "We're going to have to lose the 27th floor now." "I'm so sorry." " Deerfield wants to talk." "DIANE:" "Good." "Go bring it home." "We need it." "2.5." "More, Lionel, or I can call" "Officer Mallen's partner to talk about... what did he say he wanted to do at the protest?" " Make a mark?" " Right, make a mark." "I'm sure the jury will have questions about that." "(Sigh) $3 million." "BAILIFF:" "All rise." " Fine, 3.5." "The Honorable Judge Bernard Temple presiding." "Mr. Gardner, are we ready to begin?" "Your Honor, I believe we have a settlement." "ELI:" "Great reaction to the speech, and more importantly, the fund-raising pledges, and that is even before a Maddie Hayward endorsement" "Eli." "You're doing a great job." "(Laughs)" "You are road drunk." "Well, I should thank you." " What for?" " Talking to Maddie about me." "We didn't even know she was in play." "I don't even know what I did." "Well, the key is, whatever you did, you did it well." "Where we headed?" "Where we heading, Eli?" "Home, but we could do one more meet and greet if we were to turn back and..." " No..." " No... (Both laugh)" "What are you two laughing at?" "You, Eli." "We're laughing at you." "That's right." "King Lear's fool-- that's me."
