"I've been made aware of it." "And do you know this testimony to be false?" "I do." "How do you know that?" "Because Eli wasn't the campaign manager on February 18." "He had been replaced by Jordan." "So Jordan couldn't have been overruled by Eli?" "Or anyone?" "JORDAN:" "Not true!" "Eli Gold was still consulting with the campaign." "Mr. Karahulois-isis, please take your seat." "So, Jordan was the campaign manager at that point in time?" " He was the boss?" " Yes, that's correct." "I tender the witness." "So let's return to your arrest, shall we?" "No, Counselor." "We've pretty much bounced every way we can on this witness's reliability." "Thank you, Mr. Florrick." "You may step down." "Uh, you'll have my revised ruling in a few hours." "(Gavel bangs)" "You were great." "Thanks." "ROBYN:" "Hey, what you watching?" "Video." "Can I ask you a hypothetical?" "No." "So let's say I'm approached about leaving the law firm, and joining a small start-up firm, right?" "And I'm offered more money than here." "But I like it here." "And I'll also probably like it at this law firm, too." "So do you make your decision based on money or loyalty?" "Um, how much more money are they offering you?" " In my hypothetical?" " In your hypothetical." "It's a good amount-- 20% more." "Hey, what do I do?" "You should go with Cary." "Will, you'd better see this." "Kalinda..." "I was up all night." "I know." "So was I. Will." "WILL:" "That's outside the polling place." "KALINDA:" "Yeah." "A surveillance camera across the street." "Jim Moody." "He works for the Florrick campaign." "Where'd you get this?" "Talked to the mini-mart across the street." "Are there any other copies?" "No." "Just this one." "PETER:" "I heard it went well in court." "It did." "Your son did good." "But you have something for me?" "(Door opens, indistinct chatter)" "Can you just give us a minute please?" "Thank you." "(Door closes) Kalinda found some evidence." "No one else has seen it." "And you're telling me this why?" "I want to know what to do with it." "Well, you're the lawyer." "You decide." "This decision needs to be the client's." "Why are you doing this?" " I need direction." " No, if you needed direction, you'd have given it to Alicia to show me." "I didn't want to hurt her." "You've really handled this poorly." "That's possible." "She's my wife." "Then punch me." "(Sighs)" "It shows your 30,000 votes are fraudulent." "If it goes to the judge, you'll lose." "Then I'll lose." "This seems to be some kind of a lesson in mutual hypocrisy which I'm not gonna participate in." "So you want me to bury it?" "Do what you want." "You want me to lose, show it to the judge." "You want me to win, don't." "I'm not owning this decision." "(Sighs) What do you think?" "I think we're good." "(Door opens) Mm." "Oh, no, no, no." "Everybody, sit down." "I'm fine." "(Sighs)" "Okay, so, uh, in thinking over my early determination," "I thought of a story." "Uh, it's about a very young boy, um, an old man and a donkey." "(Sighs) What the hell, I'm too tired." "Judgment in favor of the defense." "The votes are to be admitted." "We did it." "(Chuckles)" "Thank you." "Thank you." " It's a good thing." "WIL: (Chuckles) It is." "(Loud cheering, whooping)" "(Cheering, whooping continues)" "_" "Oh, my God." "I didn't think that would happen!" " And did you see the totals?" " Hey!" "You won by over a half million votes." " What?" " Yeah, yeah." "Oh, the polling was off." "We didn't need to go to court, and fight tooth and nail." "(Laughing)" "Hey, where's Alicia?" "I have to find Alicia." "No." "You got to be downstairs in the ballroom in 15 minutes." "And you-know-who's here." "He made it?" "Yeah, yeah, he's here for a meeting of his, uh, reduce gun violence coalition." "Peter, congratulations." "Or should I say condolences?" "(Laughing) With the deficit you're gonna have to deal with." " Eli." " Eli, nice to see you." " This is my deputy mayor, Patty Harris." " Nice to meet you." "Listen, I've got tickets, uh, any time you want them for the Cubs World Series." "That's a pretty safe thing to offer." "(Laughs)" "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "JACKIE:" "Peter." "PETER:" "Mom!" "I am so proud of you." "Oh, I knew you could do it." "I knew it." "Congratulations, Mr. Florrick." "Uh, thanks, Cristian." "Have you got a moment?" "Yes." "(Softly) Eli talked to you, right?" "What?" "Eli talked to you, right?" "Oh, he did." "We had a very good talk." "Yeah." "Well, he gave you the $25,000 check?" "Yes, I cashed it." "Thank you." "No... no." "That was so you'd leave." "No, I don't think so." "Yes, it was." "Well, I don't want to go." "It's not about what you want." "(Laughing) Yes, it is." "(Sighs)" "Hey." "You startled me." "Florrick won the governorship." "Yeah, I saw." "What's up?" "Don't ever do that to me again." " Do what?" " Lead me on with a salary proposal and then go to Robyn." "Kalinda..." "Go to hell, Cary." "And good luck with Robyn." "Kalinda..." "Kalinda." "(Loud cheering, whooping)" "(Laughing)" "Hey, there you are!" "Congratulations!" "Zach!" "Zach, come here, come here." "You really helped me out." "You know that, don't you?" "Dad, it was nothing." "It was something." "It was something." "Mom..." "Alicia's in the bedroom." "Okay." "It's my life." "It's not yours." "Don't mess with it." "Ever." "Congratulations, son." "(Chattering, cheering continue in other room)" "PETER:" "There you are." "We did it." "(Alicia laughs)" "Thank you." "Oh, no reason to thank me." "You did it." "How are you?" "Good." "How's it feel to be the First Lady of Illinois?" "(Laughs) Odd." "Odd." "I need to freshen up." " You good?" " Good... yeah, I'm good." "Just... un-fresh." "(Chuckles)" "Hi." "Congratulations." "Oh. (Laughs)" "(Sighs)" "Hi." "One second!" "Do you still want to talk?" "Meet me at my apartment." "I'll..." "I'll get away." "Right now." "(Exhales)" "♪ ♪" "(Door opening, keys clatter)" "(Door closes)" "(Bach concerto playing)" "(Music continues)" "Is this stupid?" "(Exhales)" "(Knocking on door)" "Thanks for doing this here." "No problem." "What are you thinking?" "(Exhales)" "I'm in." "Resync for WEB-DL by lost0ne"
