" Hold up." " Good morning." " Hold up, hold up!" " Panting is not a good look for you." " You don't think it brings out my animal magnetism?" " It might if you had any." " You owe me, lady." " Mm-hmm." " You ever wonder what would have happened if we'd have gone home together the night we met in that bar?" "I would've been intrigued, as I was, and then very quickly grossed out, as I am." " You're right." "It would've been complicated." "You're lucky I turned you down." "Look, I realize you're probably busy mediating a very important dispute between a Korean nail salon and a woman who had her eyebrows tattooed too high on her forehead, but..." " oh." " I'm working on something that could get very big very quickly, and I need your help." " Ha!" "Have a nice day." " Hey, Ben." "Oh, man." "Your car alarm's going off in the parking structure, and they called." "They want you to come down." " She texted you to say that." "Look, just hear me out." "I'm representing the victim of a police brutality in a civil suit against the San Francisco P.D." "in the city." "They're on their way here right now for a settlement conference." "What's the catch?" " Cops lost their cool, beat up an innocent." "Now they're trying to cover it up." "There is no catch, Katrinka." " Somebody named Benedict Yancy Grogan shouldn't be tossing around nicknames." "I did my research." " It's Katrinka because you remind me of a Russian nesting doll." "You are one surprise inside another." "So do the crazy and surprising thing here and help me out." " Leo." "Does it make sense to you that he would be asking me for help?" " It does not." " Mm-hmm." " Oh, come on, this is about helping the little guy fight the system." "You like that sort of thing, right?" " Oh, yeah, you so know me." "That's all you gotta say to little miss Kate Reed." "Little guy, little guy fighting the system, uh... uh, Justin." " Counselor." " Okay, one catch." "Your ex is the system." "Now it makes sense." " I don't know the city is sending an A.D.A. with their attorney." "Maybe they're trying to shake me up." " Uh-huh, and you're trying to shake Justin up by bringing me." " I could use your help." "Morning." " Morning." " Okay." "This is my client, Andre Chernof, skyping live from the men's prison hospital." " Yo." " Makes sense that your client's in jail." " I should think that most of Mr. Grogan's clients could be found there." " Ha, ha, ha." "That's funny." "And, uh, this is Jeremiah Treesdale, representing the city." " Hi." "Nice to meet you." " I'm sorry, can I ask, are you officially part of this, Kate?" " Yes." "Yeah, I am." "I mean, I'm..." "I'm sitting in as a partner of the firm." " Okay." " But, um, can I ask, why is an A.D.A. attending a settlement conference in a civil suit?" " Because this suit is based on false accusations that city employees have committed criminal acts." " Two cops beat me up." " What he said." " Look, here are the facts of the matter." "Mr. Chernof and his accomplice were in the process of robbing a liquor store when the police arrived." "Mr. Chernof then struck an officer and fled with his accomplice into Golden Gate Park." " And your client is currently incarcerated for robbery and felonious assault of a police officer." " Hence the cute orange onesie." "Okay, with you so far." " Great, 'cause what you need to know is that a dozen cops responded to a call for backup, all riled up in the way that cops get, and chased Andre and his friend... - accomplice." " Whatever." "Into a wooded area of the park, whereupon..." " whereupon they proceeded to lose both assailants." " No, two cops found me, and they beat me." " Concussion, broken arm, fractured leg." "I mean, the jogger who found him a couple of hours later thought that he was dead." "It was quite a beat-down." " Uh, Mr. Chernof, do you think you're able to identify the cops who did this to you?" " I remember the punches." "I know they were cops." "That's it." "I blacked out." " Look, in the past six months alone, there have been 35 assaults and over 100 robberies in that park." " Oh, you thought he was mugged." "That's your theory." " You're an opportunist looking for an easy score, Mr. Grogan." "The city will not be held up by him the same way your client held up that liquor store." " Thanks for the sound bite, but, uh, there are no witnesses." "I mean, who's... who's to say that the cops didn't do this?" " I think I might give the cops the benefit of the doubt." "The D.A.'s office is counter-suing Mr. Chernof for perjury." " What?" " You're suing him?" " I would think that if a judge finds that you're lying, you're looking at an extra, what, three, four years tacked on to your sentence." " Three or four years?" " Yeah." " What the f... - nice." "We'll see you in court." " I'd like to start discovery tomorrow with the deposition of lt." "Frank O'Hara." "Who?" " Who?" "You know exactly who O'Hara is." "Do you want to settle now?" " We're never going to settle." "It's been a pleasure, Kate." "Let's go." " Justin." "Justin." " Reed  Reed." "How may I direct your call?" " Justin!" "Hi." "Uh, do you have a minute?" " Yeah." "I'll catch you back at the office." "Since when is Reed  Reed in the ambulance-chasing game?" "I'd like to think we're diversifying our client base in this tough economy." "Right." " Listen, Justin, um, I need a favor." " Yeah?" "What's up?" "I am being investigated for attorney misconduct." "You're joking, right?" " Um, no." "See, a-a former client has filed a complaint with the state bar, and I need to know if he has filed a criminal complaint with the D.A. as well." " Well, if he has, I might be guilty of misconduct if I told you." "You know that." " Please." "Justin, I don't want to be blindsided." "If I'm facing criminal charges, I need to know." "I'll see what I can find out." " Okay." "Thank you." " All right." "Hey." "Do your partners know about this?" " No, I-I'd rather we just keep this to ourselves." "Okay." " Is your client telling the truth?" " Come to the deposition tomorrow." "Decide for yourself." "O'Hara was there that night." "Your ex-husband tried to bury his report in the doc request." " No." "Really?" " Really." " Well, so then does this mean that you have a witness?" " No." "O'Hara swears that he didn't see a thing." "That's why we're gonna win." "He's an un-witness." " And you're a migraine with a mouth." "An "un-witness"?" " O'Hara says that he and his partner arrived at the park after the call for backup." "They patrolled the area in their car until they caught sight of Chernof's buddy." "O'Hara got out, gave chase, and lost him, but he admits to going down a path that went right past... right past where Andre was being assaulted." "They're in the same place at the same time, and he doesn't say a thing in his report." " So then do you think he's lying?" " No." "I think he looks like he's lying." "And by the end of the week, the city's gonna know him as the cop who covered up a beating." " But what if he's not lying?" " Third rule of humanity." " Oh, my God, not again." " People love a simple story." " Please, please." " There's, like, 14 good ones." "The conservative politician with a sex fetish..." " oh, ew." " The preppy murderer, the sports star who spends all his money, and the cop who lies to cover for his cop buddies." " And what about the cynical lawyer whose heart explodes?" " My heart won't explode." "It'll grow three sizes from all the money" "I'm gonna stuff inside of it." "This guy, boom." "He's the golden ticket." " Did he just say he was gonna stuff money inside his heart?" " That man is despicable." " And that cop is screwed." "I'm guessing the fact that a potentially innocent man may be scapegoated by the entirety of San Francisco bothers you." " Little bit." "Fairly Legal" " S02E06 "What They Seem"" " If we are going to depose O'Hara, then I really think we should talk to all the other cops that chased Chernof into the park that night." " Why bother?" "They're just gonna stick to their story that they never found him." " But O'Hara is gonna stick to his story too." " Good!" "It's a ridiculous story." "It's all we need to pry a delicious, crazy settlement from the city." " Don't you care what really happened in the park that night?" " No." "Some people have photographic memories." "Some people paint portraits." "I don't care." "It's my gift." "So after Officer Morton radioed for backup from the liquor store, you and your partner responded." " I arrived after the first group of officers had already pursued the two assailants into the park." " Uh-huh." " We decided to drive around the perimeter to head them off." " So your partner, Officer Galeki..." " Galaki." " Galaki... stopped the car so you could get out and chase the suspect down a footpath." " Yeah." " And this footpath cuts right past... right past where Andre Chernof was being assaulted, and you saw nothing." " Hey, there's no exact timeline for when everything happened." " We know what time Andre was in the park, because he was trying to call his buddy when he got spotted." "We know what time O'Hara got out of his car because of the dispatch tapes." "Oh." "Oh, Franky." "Did you beat him?" " Look, I never saw Andre Chernof." " Do you wear glasses?" " No." " Were you drinking, high?" " No." " Well, can you give us any reason why you might not have seen what was happening right in front of your face?" " No." " Hey, you realize that your partner is attacking a decorated 23-year veteran who's 16 months from retirement." "There's nothing to this case." " Oh, really?" "Then why would you try and bury O'Hara's report?" " What are you talking about, bury?" " Justin, you know what?" "Please." "You knew this story sounded bogus." " No, no, no." "We turned it over." "If I didn't put it on top of the pile, it's only because I knew your partner would try to use it and skew the truth." " How would you know what the truth is?" " I..." " Justin." "We're back in." " Look, just do the right thing and call Grogan off, okay?" " There are no witnesses." " Mm." " I mean, Justin, what if something is actually being covered up?" " Oh, don't be naive, Kate." " I'm..." " Chernof is a convicted felon." "He has a history of lying to authorities." " Oh, oh, I get it." "Okay." "So once a liar, always a liar, right?" "Are you gonna say that?" " You know how it sounds in court." " Well, screw court." "Doesn't anybody actually care about what happened to Andre Chernof?" " You think that Grogan cares?" "Look, the only reason he brought you into this mess is because he thinks you're gonna throw me off my game." " Oh, you think?" " Oh, so you know that he's using you." " Yeah." "How's your game now?" " Trouble in paradise?" "It's my turn with O'Hara." "Stay out of my way." "Lt. O'Hara." "You know, you gotta admit, sometimes police use inappropriate force whenever suspects hit another cop or they send them on a wild goose chase." " Yeah, well, for every rogue cop, there are thousands who keep their heads down and do their jobs." " Keep their heads down as in, in the sand?" "Unbelievable." " Oh, you want to twist my words, lady?" "Lawyers trick and talk." "Well, let me tell you something." "That's not what cops do." " Oh, yeah?" " No, they... no, no." "This world's dangerous enough, but know what makes it worse is people who stand on the sidelines and do nothing." "We get in there, and we go where you wouldn't dream of going in your cute little dress." " This cute little dress has been more places than you can even dream of, jackass." "And just for the record, I'm not a big fan of lawyers myself." " And that's even worse." "'Cause I can't imagine coming to work every day to do something I knew was lousy." " Kate." " No, no, no." "He's right." "You're right." "You see this guy?" "He's exactly what you're talking about." "And do you know what his plan is?" "His plan is to make you the bad guy in this movie." "So while you're being dragged through the mud in front of the entire city, Andre Chernof, he's gonna be the hero." "So if you did see something, lieutenant, now is definitely the time to spit it out." " You think you're different than him, but you're not." " Are you happy that Andre Chernof got beat up, huh?" "Did Andre Chernof get what he deserved?" "'Cause me, in my cute little dress, living my safe little life," "I can't do anything about a man like him." "Is that right?" "But you, a decorated cop, a lieutenant, you can do whatever you want." "Hey, O'Hara." "Do you beat your wife up too whenever she does..." " hey, Kate, back off!" " Would you lie to protect another cop?" " I would take a bullet for another cop." "Lying ain't no big deal." "But I didn't see anything." " Okay, okay." "Lt. O'Hara, did you or did you not see Andre Chernof being beaten?" " No." "And I don't care what you do to me." " Suspect on corner of 8th Avenue and jfk." " 10-4, suspect at corner of 8th Avenue and jfk." " Whatcha doing?" " O'Hara on foot in pursuit." " I'm not tricking and talking, that's for sure." "You didn't tell me they sent you the dispatch tape." " They sent me everything." "And as long as we're playing show and tell, we all know our movie star." "And every movie needs a famous line that people can do bad impressions of." " "I am your father." "No, Mr. bond, I expect..."" " Leo, sit down." " "You can't handle the truth."" " I would take a bullet for another cop." "Lying ain't no big deal." " I think that says it all." "The city knows it." "I've told Treesdale that I've scheduled a press conference for tomorrow morning." " But he said he didn't see anything." " He said a lot of things." "You know, for someone that doesn't like lawyers, you totally rocked it, Katie." "You got the goose to lay the golden egg." "Maybe we are alike." " I'll clean it up later." " "I'll be back."" "Too easy?" "Criminal complaint against you, as of now, at least." "Can we walk?" "I'm running late." " Yeah, yeah, sure." " So what did you do, Lauren?" "Or allegedly do?" "I made a clerical error." "It was... it was right around the time that we added a new partner." " I'm a big fan of his, by the way." " Oh, yeah, well, beggars can't be choosers, right?" "Anyway, I had a lot going on, and I accidentally transferred $23,000 from a mislabeled client's trust into a Reed  Reed account." "It was for less than 72 hours, mind you, at which point I caught my error, and I immediately transferred the funds back." " Immediately after 72 hours." " It was a simple mistake, Justin." "And most importantly, it did not cost Ian Saunders a thing." " Ian Saunders?" "You know, he and Teddy went way back." " Yeah, I know." "When Ben came on, he had a client with a conflict of interest, and, anyway, we chose to drop Ian." " Yeah, but not before you used his money illegally." "I can see why this guy has an ax to grind." " Justin, it was an oversight." " All right, look." "I've got a friend who works at the state bar court." "I can find out how seriously they're taking this thing." " Okay." " You have good representation?" " Uh, yeah, thanks, but I think I'll go this alone." " You know, you keep saying that, but I don't think you're giving yourself the best counsel." "I gotta go." " Yeah." " Officer Galaki?" "Hi, I'm Kate Reed." " I saw you come in for Frank's deposition." "You're a lawyer." " Uh, wha... you know what?" "Let's just say that I'm somebody who wants to believe that lt." "O'Hara is telling the truth." " You got one minute." " Tell me what happened that night." " Lt. O'Hara got out on foot to chase Chernof's accomplice." "Frank's no kid, but he was really flying." " Okay." " I was in the car heading west on jfk drive." "I radioed that I would go around to conservatory to pick him up." "When I got there, the suspect had eluded capture." "Frank said nothing about a beating." " You know, you sound like you've practiced that before." "And officer, if you're..." "if you're covering for him..." " he's not that kind of cop." " Oh, well, then, who is that kind of cop?" " He saw nothing." " Okay, I believe you." " Good." "We're done here." " No!" "We're just getting started." "Oh, roomie, roomie." "How would you defend someone who... hypothetical here... uh, says that they are 20 feet away from something but then didn't actually see anything?" " Uh, altered mental state, drugs, alcohol." " No." " Impaired perception." " No." " Weren't wearing their glasses." " No, none of..." "none of those work." " Inattentional blindness." " Ina-what?" " The phenomenon of not being able to see something in plain sight because you're too focused on something extremely urgent." " Aha." "Yeah." "Would a jury buy it?" " Well, coming out of the mouth of an expert witness with a bow tie and glasses, yeah, they could." " Great, thank you." " Wait, is this about the Chernof matter?" " So close." " Kate." "Reed  Reed is not currently in a position to raise any red flags." " Is something wrong?" "You've been acting weird." " No, I have not." " Yeah." "I mean, come on, Lauren." "Even for you." " No." " Yes." " Kate, nothing..." "Is wrong." " I have good news and bad news." " Okay." "I'll take the bad news first." " Huh, that's funny." "Kate always likes the good news first." " Kate also eats her dessert before dinner." " True." "My buddy at the state bar says that Ian Saunder is like a pit bull." "And he has locked his jaw into this one, and he is not letting go." " Okay." "So give it to me." "What... what am I looking at, worst-case scenario?" " Worst-case scenario is you are indicted for embezzlement and disbarred." "Best case, you get off with a public reproval." " Wow." "That would obviously be a..." "Fatal blow to my career and the reputation of Reed  Reed." " Yeah." "But the good news is, if you can get Saunders to withdraw this complaint, the state bar won't pursue this matter on their own." "I'm sure if I just ask him nicely..." " well, have you considered having Kate ask him?" "You know, Ian was at our wedding." "Lauren, swallow your pride." "Just ask her for help." " Hey, hey, hey." "I got that research on underventional blindness." " Inattentional - invitational." " Whatever." "We got 22 hours." ""Esplain."" " Okay, it's all over the net, and it involves a gorilla and a basketball game." " Huh?" " You're watching this video where people are passing a basketball around, and you're supposed to count the passes." "Then this guy's voice is like, "hey, did you notice the gorilla?"" "And you're like, "what gorilla?"" "See, you're too busy counting to notice this full-on major monkey in the middle of the game." " But how did they get the gorilla to walk through the basketball game?" " All you need to know is this is how the mind really works." "As a defense, it might not be so crazy." " What might not be so crazy?" " Inattentional blindness, which I guess is something you don't know about." " The gorilla and the basketball." "Total horsepucky." "You can't use O'Hara, Ben." " Hmm?" " Look, I listened to the tapes." "I talked to his partner, and I-I-I don't believe that O'Hara saw what happened to Chernof." " Interesting theory." "But Justin's here to settle." "If you think O'Hara's telling the truth, then you might be invested in all this going away." " Oh, I am." "All..." "Of this." " We all realize this is blackmail." " We're prepared to go as high as $150,000." " Great." " Too low." "You'll have to do better." " Excuse me?" " Too low." "Do better." " No." "No." "We'll take it." " No, we won't." " Here's the thing." "He's not bluffing." "He's gonna use O'Hara, and, fellas, it's... it's gonna get really ugly." " Kate, we can't." "That's our offer." " Justin..." "Justin, listen to me, please." "Please." "Just make this thing go away." " 300,000." " Yes." " No." " Y... no!" " Forget it." "We're outta here." " Look, no, no." "He... he didn't... he didn't mean no." " There will be no more offers." " Don't leave." "Don't leave." " Press conference in the morning." " No, c..." "don't do that!" " You know what?" "Why don't you just have it right now?" "If you want to ruin an innocent man's life..." " Justin." " Just to make a buck, go ahead." " Make a buck?" "Please." "Andre Chernof deserves 2 million at the shallow end." " This is not about your client." " You don't even care about your client." " I care about him a lot more than you do." "All you see is a felon who maybe got what he deserved." " So are you guys playing lawyers chicken until somebody blinks?" " Yeah, that's exactly what you do when you've got the winning hand." " We're done here, Kate." "I'm sorry." " No, no, no." "Don't leave." "Don't leave." "Don't leave." "Let's go back to the table." "We can figure out a number." " Kate." " We can fix this." " You cannot mediate this, because you have already chosen a side." "Let's go." " A man's career and reputation are on the line." " I know." "That's why people want to hear a story about him." "Aristotle, the terror, the pity." " It's gonna be a circus." " People like circuses." " Okay, you know what?" "You!" "You are the Russian doll." " What?" " Except when you get all the way down to the center, there is nothing there." "You're empty." " Well, you know what you are?" "You're a tease." " A tease?" " Yeah, just like the night we met." " Ooh, it's all coming out now." " You loved the idea of fighting Justin to help the little guy, but now we're this close to a win." " A win?" " You're out the door!" " A win?" "You cannot use an innocent man!" " You've played your part for me." "You're free to do what you want." " You know, what I want..." "Is for you to have never happened." " Well, I happened, lady!" "And guess what?" "The circus is coming to town!" "The circus." " Hiya, Benny." " You want to know what my definition of insanity is?" " Hmm?" " When a person's thoughts and actions are in complete opposition, like, say, your thoughts and that smile." " Well, maybe it's because I already know you're dying from a slow and painful poison." " I'm sure you're entirely capable of that." "Oh, Ben." "Ben, Ben, Ben." "You know what?" "I don't want to murder you." "I build Bridges between people." "And even though it's a challenge..." "I want to build a bridge to you." " I'll be honest." "The vibe's still pretty car-bomby." " I am convinced that O'Hara..." "Was inattentionally blind when he was chasing that guy through the park." "Now, I'm also convinced that there is a little bit more to the story." "I don't want more story." "I..." " Have enough story." " Mm-hmm." " And inattentional blindness does not exist." " Well..." "I'm gonna find out what happened in the park that night." "And you are gonna call off the press conference until I do." " Okay." "Now, you look." " Mm." " You may be after the truth." "I remain somebody not after the truth." "I remain after the simplest..." "Cleanest story of one dirty cop covering to protect his buddies." "That alone..." "Gives us a lot of cheddar, so changing that story now would only muck everything up." "And let's..." "let's not muck it up." " Oh, right, right, right." "Well, I see your point." "But..." "What if we actually found the cops who did this, instead of crucifying an innocent one?" "And then we'd have an even bigger payday." "And isn't that what you love?" " Mostly." " Oh, wow." "Look." "It's Leo." " Oh." " There the whole time." "However did you not see him..." " Oh, okay." " Standing ten feet away from your desk?" "Perhaps your focus was elsewhere." " Okay, all right." "Maybe I was momentarily distracted." " Ha." " You were inattentionally blinded by her fancies, Yancy." " It may not fit your story, but O'Hara didn't see anything." "So call off the press conference." "Prove to me that you are not as shallow as I think you are." " Fine." "Your little demo bought you a push until 3:00 tomorrow afternoon." "But if you can't find me a better story by then, then the O'Hara story goes wide." "No more delays." " Ian." "It's me, Lauren Reed." " You going to rob me again, Ms. Reed?" "Is it a mugging in the parking lot this time?" " Well, you wouldn't return my calls, so..." "Ian, listen." "I did not keep a penny of the money I transferred from your account." "Now, I-I realize that you are upset at the way things worked out." " Why would I be upset?" " Your complaint..." "Ian, it is vindictive, and it endangers our entire firm." " Really?" "And what's that worth to you?" " I'm sorry?" " Between you, me, and the lamppost, Lauren, I'm not upset, because you're going to pay me 100 grand to make the complaint go away." "You mention this to anyone, and I'll file a criminal complaint as well." "So it's you who's robbing me." " Good night, Mrs. Reed." " Hey, Kate." "I want to show you something." " Oh, my gosh, don't you want to take that off?" " No, I love my country." " Okay." "What is this?" " It is a computer model of the crime scene, with skittles for people." "The red skittle is Andre Chernof." "The purple ones are cops." "And watch this." " Oh, um, okay." "That's, um, disturbing and making me hungry." "What... what are the..." "what are the green ones?" " Those are squad cars, and... ♪ delicious the animation is calibrated with the timings from the police report, so all the skittles move at the exact same rate as everyone and everything the night Andre Chernof was beaten." "Coulturn something up." " You are brilliant." "Well, I don't know." " Can you sync this up with the audio file of O'Hara's dispatch tape?" " Yes, I can." "Give me a minute." "Uh, Kate." "Can I have a word?" " Well, we're just in the middle of something right now." "Can it wait?" " It can't wait." "I am being investigated by the state bar." " Oh, my God." "Is this what's been going on?" " I made a mistake." "A clerical error." "Ian Saunders is out for blood, and, uh, it's getting more complicated by the minute." "Now, Kate, I realize..." " how can I help?" " Really?" " What was that about?" " Oh, uh, just... ugh, Lauren." " Ah." "Okay, well, O'Hara's dispatch is now synchronized with the animation." " Good, okay." " Galaki calls it in." " 3 torch 14 Edward to dispatch, responding to 2-11, 2-40, suspect at corner of 8th Avenue and jfk." " O'Hara leaves the car and runs toward Chernof's accomplice." " In foot pursuit." " 10-4." "Meet you on conservatory." " In pursuit." "Repeat, in foot pursuit." " Copy." "Headed west on jfk." " Galaki then turns onto conservatory and heads towards O'Hara." " I've..." "I've lost him." "I've lost visual." "2-11, suspect." "Lost him." " 10-4." "I..." "I'm just around the corner." "There in a minute." " Okay, um, go back." "Replay what she just said." " 10-4." " 10-4." "I-I'm just around the corner." "There in a minute." " There isn't any car noise behind her, but she says she's driving." "W-what if Galaki turned onto pompei circle to get to O'Hara quicker?" " In foot pursuit." " 10-4." "Meet you on conservatory." " In pursuit." "Repeat, in foot pursuit." " Copy." "Headed west on jfk." " And in this version, she turns up pompei circle." " I've..." "I've lost him." "I've lost visual." "2-11, suspect." "Lost him." " And now Galaki's headlights are shining on Chernof and whoever beat him up." " 10-4." "I-I'm just around the corner." "There in a minute." " Galaki saw the beating." "Officer Galaki, as I said on the phone, your report does not match the dispatch tapes." "So I don't think you were where you said you were." "And I think you saw what happened." "So if you want to get Frank out of this mess, then you need to identify who assaulted Andre Chernof." "And if you don't, your partner's career..." "Is over." " Frank shouldn't be punished for something he had no part of." " Yeah, but you know who did have a part of it, don't you?" " I pulled down a dead-end road, and..." "I saw two of our guys..." "Beating up Chernof." "They told me to keep my mouth shut." "I tore out of there, picked up Frank." "I didn't say a thing to him." "I didn't want to involve him." " He's involved now." " I say anything, they all turn on me." "How could I stay in my job?" " Okay, listen." " I got a kid to support." " Listen, listen." " I gotta look out for him." " Please, I only have until 3:00 to save your partner." "Please?" "Please, please?" "Ugh." "Oh!" " Kate, you are late." " I know." "I'm late." "I know." "Okay." "Oh." "Oh, Ian." "Hi." "Oh, thanks so much for agreeing to lunch." " I'm only here out of respect for your father, Kate." " Well, thank you so much, and, uh, I'm sure that he would want..." "That same respect extended to his widow." " Who embezzled from me." " Well, um..." "Lauren made a clerical error, which she then fixed in 72 hours." " Oh, what do you take me for?" "I'm sorry if this hurts your interest in Reed  Reed, Kate, but I'm not withdrawing my complaint." " Oh, oh, Ian, come on." "I'm not worried about my interest." "I mean, Reed  Reed's gonna be fine with or without that one." "What I'm concerned about are your interests, which won't be best served by pushing somebody so far into a corner that they got nothing to lose by striking back." " What are you talking about?" " Do you realize, if Lauren is disbarred, she is no longer bound by attorney-client privilege?" " Oh, of course she is." " Actually, no." "The courts have ruled different ways on that lately." " She's right." "They've now been siding with lawyers who've been forced to keep quiet while all kinds of corporate B.S. goes unpunished." "Now, I realize that over the years not all the business we've handled for you has been entirely kosher." " Huh." " And if Lauren's sitting at home, bored, without a job," "I don't know, Ian." "Did, uh, Teddy keep all those files?" " Oh, your daddy was a packrat." " Ooh." " Are you extorting me?" " How does it feel, Ian?" " I'm still waiting for my track suit." " Wow." "All of this over a silly mistake." " Uh-uh." "No." "No." "You don't make mistakes." "You borrowed money from Ian's account to make payroll." "You broke the law." " Kate." " Now... now... no." "No." "You did what you had to do to save Reed  Reed, and for that, thank you." "But next time, you better tell me what's up." " Okay." "Fair enough." "Well, thank you for saving my ass." " Eh, you're gonna be fine." "Ugh." "Hey, Leo." "What's up?" " Galaki's coming clean." " Okay." "Yay." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "I'll be right there." "Yeah, on my way." " Oh, my God." " I'll be right there." "Taxi!" " Hi, this is Ben Grogan calling for Dudley do-right." "My bad, I mean assistant D.A. Justin Patrick." "Oh, okay." "Let him know that all his favorite TV stations will be assembling for a little press conference in response to a video I'm about to release." " Grogan." "Grogan." "Hey." "Drop the phone." "You're not gonna regret this." " I don't think I will." " Yeah." " Always gotta make things complicated." " Oh, and that's my gift." " Frank?" " Wha... what's going on?" " Lt. O'Hara has just supplied our office with the names of the two patrolmen who assaulted Andre Chernof." " What?" "How..." "how did he do that?" " He admitted he saw the assault." " No." " It's over." "It's all over." " Excuse us." " Uh... um, I'm sorry." "What just happened?" " I called Frank an hour ago to say what I was doing." "He asked the names of the two cops that did it." "He just saved my life." " Told us he'd lie for a cop." " Excuse me." "Fellows, excuse me." "Sorry." "Can... can I get a, uh, word with lt." "O'Hara, please?" " Yeah, of course." "Thanks again." " Okay." " Why?" " I don't feel I owe you any explanations." " Okay, that's fair enough." "But taking the blame?" "And if it comes out that Galaki was the one..." " it's not gonna come out." "They're gonna want to put this to bed." " Lieutenant, you could be suspended." "You could lose your pension." " What I'm gonna lose is some friends." "Some are gonna think I'm a rat, and some are gonna think I did the right thing." "Okay?" "But Galaki, she needs this job more than me." " You took the bullet." " She's my partner." "And I owe you an apology for the things I said." " No." "You don't." "I do hate lawyers." " But I am one, and I have to keep finding ways to make that work." " Well, if you'll excuse me, I need a drink." " Have one for me too." "Thank you." " So I was wrong about this one." " Oh, I love hearing that." " Yeah, I guess I just didn't want to believe the cops were involved." "I'm not usually blinded by my emotions." " Well, I have no idea what that's like." "I mean, you said I was the one being used." "Yeah." "Hey, uh, just for the record, okay, if you wanted to be used or..." "Not be used, but... but what I'm saying is..." " Ben Grogan?" " No." "No?" " No!" " No, no, no, no." "I'm talking about the concept in general of dating." "I-I wouldn't be..." "I..." "I wouldn't be..." "I..." "I wouldn't be... it's like I..." "okay, look, I'm not..." " okay, it's so cute to see you fumbling for your words." " Okay." "Oh, my God." "Forget I said anything." " Ack!" "Good, I hope so." "'Cause that was weird." " No." " Yeah, that's weird." "You're weird." " You're weird." " Uh-huh, you're a weirdo." " Okay." "Hey." "Thanks." "I'll see you later." "Let's go." " To partners." " Ugh, whatever." " Look at you." "Agreeing to have a drink with me." " Oh, slow down there, cowboy." "You know what?" "I just needed a bar and somebody with a car to drive me there." " What is the matter?" "You're the queen of win-win." "This is win-win-win." " Uh-huh." " You get the truth." "O'Hara gets to keep his pension." "And Andre Chernof is going to clean up." " You know what you should do?" "You should put it in a cd." "What's the interest on seven to ten years?" " Settlement's a deterrent." " Oh, how you figure?" " It will deter me from buying any bottles of wine for under $100." " That's disgusting." " That one's good." " That's gross." "That's just gross." "True to form, right to the end." "Ugh." "Oh, my God." " What?" " Oh." "No, no, no." "Don't look, don't look." "Justin just walked in with a really, really, really..." "Pretty girl." " You wanna get out of here?" " No." "No." "No, no, no." "I'm fine." "I'm good." "Uh..." "Let's get outta here." "I'm good." "Can we go?" " Yeah." " Mm-hmm, good." "Let's go." " So..." "What basically happens is you love and you lose, and then the person you lost finds someone else and wins." "So love is basically an eternal return to hell." " Oh." " For losers." " You know, you wondered what would've happened if we'd gone home together." " Yeah." " Was it everything you hoped for?" " Yeah, this is exactly how I imagined it." "You're miserable, and I have to pee." " Whoa." " You okay there, sailor?" " Ah." "Oh, yeah." "You wanna come inside?" "To pee." " Yes." "Please." " How did it go?" " Think I'm finally getting the hang of it." " Can I ask you a favor?" " Sure." "Winning and money has put me in a very good mood." " You know..." "You and I are very different people." "But you are exactly what I need right now." "Someone..." "Who's not gonna mind if I use them." "That's your gift, right?" "Not caring?" "Being empty?" "The Russian doll." "Stay." " I think I'll pass." "It's late." "No, you know what?" "You and I may have different methods, but we both know how to get what we want, and you can call that being passionate or you can call that being a dogged jackass." "But you can't call it empty." "I am not empty." "I'll see you tomorrow, Kate." "Good night."
