Previously on Bull...
Where's Astrid?

[sobbing]
He took her! He had a gun!

[distorted] If you ever
want to see your daughter

again, you'll pay $1 million.

If you call police, she's dead.

You need to find out everything
that you can about this woman.

SHERYL:
We'll see how sorry
you are.

This is for Simon.

Drop your weapon!
Put your hands in the air!

McDONNELL:
But the good news is,
our group got a grant

to help survey
water systems upstate

and look for lead pipe.
Is there a lot?

It feels like there
would be a lot.

Actually...

seven percent of water systems
nationwide are leaded.

This is not working.

What's the matter?

The video said it was supposed
to thicken while it cooked,

and it's... not.

Mm.This is inedible.

Yeah.
[laughs]

We have to pull
the pizza rip cord.

No problem. You know me--
no veggies, lots of meat.

[pounding on door]

MAN:
Jerry McDonnell!
This is the FBI!

We have a warrant to search
the premises! Open the door!

Jerry McDonnell?
Are you Jerry McDonnell?

AGENT:
Check the bedroom.
Yes.

This authorizes us to search
for and remove items

from these premises.

If you interfere
or obstruct us,

you will be arrested.

What is this about?

That's all the information

I'm required to provide.

Kelsey.

We should get out of here.

Really, let's just go.

Jerry, my name is Anna Steadman.

I'm a special agent
with the FBI.

You're FBI?

Yes, I am.

[panting]
Oh, my God.

I think I'm gonna be sick.
Jerry,

I'm not supposed
to tell you this,

but you're
about to get arrested.

Don't try to run
or fight.

You'll just,
you'll make it worse.

You're in a lot
of trouble.

More than you understand.
You need a lawyer.

A good one.

[siren wailing in distance]

[passing siren wailing]

[snorts]

[sniffling]

[panting]

[chuckles]

[whispers]
Good morning.
[grunts]

Couldn't sleep.

Tried and I couldn't do
it, so I came in here.

Good idea.

It just felt better
to be close to her.

Call me crazy.

Our daughter was just kidnapped,

and we almost
didn't get her back.

I'd say you were crazy
if you did anything else.

Flatterer.

[chuckles softly]

I think I'm just
gonna stay in today and just...

be with Astrid.

Good idea.

I think I'm gonna go
into the office.

Already?

Yeah. Just want to see
how things are going.

But I thought we were gonna take
some time to rest and recover.

We did.

Two days.

Rested. Recovered.

[sighs]

I'm gonna go get dressed.

[sighs]

[bell dings]

I thought you were gonna
stay home for a while.

I stayed. I'm back.

Okay. How's Izzy doing?

Why, she's excellent.
Thank you for asking.

She is at home
with Astrid.

Sounds like a good idea
given what she went through.

What you all went through.

That PhD after your name
says you know something

about post-traumatic stress.
Mm.

and how to deal with it.

There's no need
for you to hurry back.

Everything is under control.

You don't have to be here.
Sure I do.

My name's on the door.

Actually, it isn't.

Well, it's a good thing
I'm here, then.

We can do something
about it. Hey.

Where are you going?

See a new client.
Okay, we did not
take him on

without consulting you.
The Federal Defenders Office

assigned him to Chunk.

Oh. And who is
this lucky person?

Name's Jerry McDonnell.
The FBI hit him

with a quick-knock raid.
What's the charge?

Spying.

Ooh. Espionage.

That could be
interesting.

Let's see what he has to say.

Wasn't he supposed to be
staying home for a little while?

BULL:
Government says

McDonnell distributed
classified information

about nuclear weapons?

There's a government
facility in Kentucky

that stores radioactive material
from decommissioned warheads.

They've had accidents.

The locals claim they've
released radioactive gas.

McDonnell got his hands
on some documents

describing these accidents
and put them on the Internet.

Well, apparently,
the place has a website.

It's not exactly
a secret lab.

No, but they have
a lot of secrets.

These documents talk about
the moving and storage

of nuclear material.

The government thinks that's
national defense information,

and they've charged him with 12
counts under the Espionage Act.

[sighs]
Espionage Act.

Does he know
what that's about?

I'm guessing
he does not.

Ah. So we're giving him
the bad news. Great.

[cell door closing]

I work for a nonprofit
that advocates for clean water.

So how'd you go from clean water
to nuclear secrets?

I grew up near the facility.

I still have family in the area.

It's a serious concern

for people down there.

Everyone's heard rumors
about leaks...

fires that spread
radioactive ash.

There's been a lot
of unexplained illness.

Cancer clusters
and such.

So when I...

I obtained the documents,
I had to make them public,

because they show
that there were leaks

of radioactive material.

Poison's been spread

a half mile from where
my mother and father live,

which the facility has denied
up and down.

So, you knew that
you could get in trouble?

I posted them
under a fake handle.

I thought that

would keep me anonymous;
not so much, I guess.

You said you "obtained"
these documents.

Who gave them to you?

Jerry, you need
to tell us.

It could be
our only bargaining chip.

I don't see how. He's dead.

He was a friend
from high school.

He had leukemia.

Which he thought he got
from the facility.

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't.

But doesn't his family have
the right to know

what he'd been exposed to?

This has zero to do
with national security.

I put out those documents

so people would know
what was in their air

and water.

They have a right to know that.

I agree.

And we should tell
the jury that.

But we can't.

Why not?
Because you're being charged

under the Espionage Act,
and that is kryptonite

for a defense.

We cannot discuss

your motives or the consequences
of your actions.

The reasons, whatever
you hoped to accomplish,

none of it

is admissible in court.

Most people in your
position plead guilty.

What would happen
if I did that?

Well, the charges call
for a 30-year sentence,

but with a plea deal,

we'd be looking at less.

I was trying to help people.

They want to put me in prison
for 30 years?

We're gonna talk to the AUSA

and see what
he's thinking.

Jerry.

It's gonna be okay.

How?

Thanks, Marissa.
Appreciate it.

What's she got
on AUSA Carto?

CHUNK:
Been in office about six years.

Some kind of cop before that.
Anything else?

He wins. A lot.

The famous Dr. Bull.

Ha! Famous, huh?

Walt Carto.

Chester Palmer.
Chief counsel for TAC.

Good for you.
So, Jerry McDonnell.

What are we doing?
Talking a deal?

12 counts and 30 years

seems unacceptable and abusive.

Yeah, well,
I like to come in strong,

but I can go down
to four counts and 20.

CHUNK:
You want to put
this man away

for 20 years for trying
to protect his community?

No, I want to put him away for
30, but I'll take the haircut

if it'll save the cost
of a trial. [chuckles]

You believe McDonnell deserves
that kind of punishment?

The material this facility
processes is the actual payload

from a nuclear warhead.

You want to make a dirty bomb,
a suitcase nuke,

Aw, come on.this is the place
you target.

McDonnell drew
the bad guys a map.

CHUNK:
No. What he did

was try to inform his friends
and family about the toxins

they were breathing in.
Okay, look,
I don't care why he did it.

The government decides
what's secret, okay?

Can't tolerate

people thinking
what McDonnell did

is anything less
than deadly serious.

20 years or no deal.

But, I mean, if you
want to keep it coming,

keep it coming, 'cause
I do enjoy the back-and-forth.

Who hit you, Walt, Mom or Dad?

What are you talking about?

Most bullies were
physically abused as children.

I'm sorry, you're saying I'm
a bully now for doing my job?

Not for doing your job.
Just, it's this.

It's what they call
a Duchenne smile.

It's a sign
of genuine pleasure.

Now, you may think
putting Jerry McDonnell away

is necessary,
even important...

but you can't say
it's fun, Walt.

Not unless you're a bully.

You have my offer.

Talk to your client.

That escalated quickly.

I mean, 20 years is a long time,
but it's still less

than 30.
A bad deal's a bad deal.

You sure you want to fight
this out in court, Bull?

We're gonna take
that smug bastard to trial...

and it's gonna be fun.

♪

It's still so early.
You don't have to leave.
Shh!

You'll wake Mauricio.

Erik, how much effort

have we put into making our son
okay with the divorce?

Let's not confuse things
by adding,

"But every now and then
Mommy and Daddy hook up.

"Come by sometime.

You can watch."

Now you're just being perverse.

Have you seen my shoes?
Yeah,

they're where
you always put them.

Mm.

[sighs]

You are leaving
because of Mauricio?

Not because you want to get out
of here as fast as you can?

Amazingly, no.

I'd like to stay.

If our son's bedroom
wasn't 20 feet away.

Well...

if you prefer the
sneaky approach,

my company does keep a
hotel room at the St. Blair.

We could meet there
for lunch or...

you know.

Lunch at TAC lasts
just long enough

for a handful
of Cheez-Its, but...

thanks for the invitation.

[exhales]
Mm...

This is not a place
I expected to be again.

Me, neither.

But I like it.

[laughs]

Mm-mm.

[laughs]

BULL: And that's the thing
about this case--

we've lost before we start.

Our client
obtained documents

he did not have clearance
to possess,

and he gave them to others
who also lacked clearance.

And those are the elements
of the crime,

and we cannot contest them.

DANNY:
Why did we take

this case, exactly?

Our job is to make the jury
see it differently.

Jerry McDonnell was
a concerned citizen,

and he was revealing
important information

to a threatened
community.

It all comes down
to the press, Danny.

I want every report,
every rumor

you can find
on this facility.

'Cause when those jurors
walk into the court

and they hear
the words "nuclear facility,"

I want them to think
"environmental catastrophe."

I'll see what I can dig up.

Juries have to be
independent thinkers,

people who
instinctively distrust

everything
the government tells them.

Who doesn't do that?

Just saying.

We need the real deal:
true disbelievers.

Exactly how big a tinfoil hat
are we looking for?

[sighs]
How big you got?

Good morning,
ladies and gentlemen.

This case is about
government secrets.

Nuclear weapons.

National security.

So what I would like
to speak to you about

is canned goods.

You, sir.

How many cans
would you say

are in your cabinets right now?

Uh...

I don't know.

Uh...

a half dozen?

CHUNK:
All right. And, uh,

what about you, ma'am?

Uh, not many.

I like fresh ingredients.

Okay.

And, you.

I keep a six-month supply
of canned and dry goods,

which I rotate
by expiration date.

Hello.
CHUNK:
And anything else

in that well-stocked pantry

of yours?
Propane stove.

Supply of fuel.

Plus two 50-gallon drums
of distilled water.

I think I like her.

When civilization as we know it
collapses,

I intend to survive.

Bingo.

We have a prepper.

Your Honor, this juror

is acceptable to the defense.

It says here that you refused
to join a family tree website.

Why?
They wanted a sample
of my DNA.

You know they're going
straight to the government,

and with the cloning
they're doing,

they could produce
a whole army of me.

What's that gonna be like?

That's a good question.

Your Honor, this juror

is acceptable
to the defense.

We have one pick left--

between 14 and nine.

MARISSA:
14. Bonnie Kaplow.

Votes independent.

I checked
her social media feed.

It's government-skeptical.

Let's go with 14.

She's detail-oriented,
educated--

the kind of leader the
other jurors are gonna follow.

Carto's all over us,

and he still has
one peremptory challenge left.

So you think if we
show interest,

he'll kick her?

I'm sure of it.

Mm.

I'm gonna head-fake him.

He's gonna head-fake him?
What does that even mean?

Ma'am, you mentioned
that you have a relative

in the military.

Correct?

A cousin. Why?

Your Honor, I move

to dismiss this
juror for cause.

Her connection to the military
prejudices her

in favor of the government.
Your Honor,

the defense has
tried to manipulate

this voir dire
from the start.

The challenge is ridiculous
and so is the motion.

Won't fly, Counsel.
Motion denied.

And as far as the government
is concerned, juror number 14

is acceptable.

JUDGE:
We have a jury.

Hello.

IZZY:
We're in the kitchen.

What's going
on in here?

This is...

ADA Mary O'Neill.
She's prosecuting

the kidnapping.

We spoke when the police
took your statement.

So what's happening?
Is something wrong?

No, no,
nothing's wrong.

I was just telling
your wife

that both the mother and the son

who abducted your daughter
have decided to plead guilty.

So no trial,Jason.

Isn't that great?
What's the sentence?

We're still hammering
out the details,

but they will
be substantial.

I just wanted you
to know,

because I know sometimes
victims get anxious

about the prospect
of court proceedings.

We're not anxious.

I was.

[Izzy sighs]

Thank you for telling us.

It's no problem.

Uh, also, I wanted
to give you this.

[clears throat]

[distorted] Hi, baby girl.
It's Daddy. You're okay.

Shut up!

O'NEILL:
...car when he was arrested.

We've been holding it
for evidence.

I thought your daughter
might want it back.

Thank you.
She's been missing it.

I'll bring it to her.

I'm pretty sure
she's sleeping.

I'll just put it in her crib.

[sighing]

[takes deep breath]

THOMAS:
It's hell when someone takes
your child from you, isn't it?

IZZY:
Hey.

You've been in here
awhile.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Well, O'Neill left.
She said to say goodbye.

Jason, is everything all right?

For real.

[whispers]
Absolutely.

[chuckles]
Aw, come on. I'm fine.

[sighs]

Don't get comfortable.

What?
Just heard from
the judge's clerk.

We got trouble.

The AUSA has brought
to my attention

some social media posts
of a significantly

anti government nature

which Mr. Carto believes

were written by this juror,
Ms. Kaplow.

Ma'am, did you post these?

I remind you
you're under oath.

Yes. I did.

CARTO:
Well, then I believe
we have a problem.

BULL:
Your Honor,
we've examined the posts,

and yes, they are passionate
and strongly worded...

"Dismantle
the FBI

and the whole"--
I won't read the next word,

but it rhymes with "trucking"--
"Justice Department,

destroy them
and salt the earth around them."

You're telling me
she's impartial?

Ms. Kaplow, you're dismissed.

Thank you
for your brief service.
CHUNK: Your Honor,

we object to this in the
strongest possible terms.

Of course you do. Anything else?

Uh, you know,

that was an okay stunt
you pulled in voir dire.

Crossed me up a minute,
and then I realized 14 was

your keystone juror.
[chuckles]

See, that's the thing
about bullies.

We win.

[chuckles]
Duchenne smile?

Right?

Now I know what it is.

BULL:
How did Carto get

those posts and we didn't?

They were on an obscure site.
She used a screen handle

she didn't use anywhere else.
You didn't answer
my question!

Carto found them. Why didn't we?

He has the entire
Justice Department behind him.

He can get a hundred people
to do his search.

I'm one person.
It's not a fair fight.

Is that what I'm supposed
to tell Jerry McDonnell

when he serves 30 years
in prison?

Sorry, but Taylor said
it wasn't a fair fight.

I did what you asked.

You wanted jurors who were
skeptical of the government.

I found them.
Well, they're useless

if we can't keep them
on the jury.

No more mistakes.

He's just wound up.

I'm going to lunch.

It's 10:15.

Hey, got some stuff
on the nuclear facility.

An IG's report and some locals
who will talk to reporters.

Good. Now I need something else.

What?
Everything you can
get on the AUSA,

Walter Carto.

Background.
Weaknesses. Skeletons.

Well, I've got more leads
I wanted to track down

on the nuclear stuff.
Can it wait a day?

No, it cannot. I need
everything you can give me.

Now.

[line ringing]

ERIK:
Hey.

How soon can you be
at the St. Blair?

[bell dings]

It's not about being sensitive
to criticism--

you know I can take that--

but criticize me
for something real,

not, "What do you mean

you didn't search the
entire Internet?"

I have done so much
for that man,

but what he notices
is the one time

I get beaten by
the U.S. government,

using digital tools
I can only dream of.

And now I'm gonna
stop talking,

because I don't think you've
said anything since we came in.

Sorry.
It's okay.

Look, you have every reason
to be mad at Bull--

he was a jerk--

but it sounds like
you're angry

partly because you're worried...

he was right, a little.

Maybe you
should have caught it.

How is it, after being
divorced this long,

you still know me better
than anyone else?

Thanks for listening.

I'm sure this wasn't
what you had in mind

when I said, "Let's
meet at the hotel."

[laughs]
What?

A bitch session with my ex-wife
about her boss?

Don't be ridiculous.
It's a classic nooner.

I'm glad you called.

Do it anytime.

Thanks.

♪

Mm, I have to get
back to work.

I'm sorry.
I'm an awful person.

Just, um, let me say one thing

before you go, okay?

What's that?

Uh, when we first...

connected...

I was with Rachel,
which was a problem.

I never asked you

to break up...I know. I know.

I didn't break up with her
because of anything you did.

But it was

partly because of the way I
found myself feeling about you.

Something real

is happening between us.

Like, we're finding our way back
to a real relationship.

I don't know, Erik.
I think...

[sighs]
maybe this works

because it's nothing
like a real relationship.

It's different,
but that's okay.

We're not the people we were
when we got divorced.

We can be different.

I need to know you think this
is going somewhere, because...

I feel like it is.

Let's see.

STEADMAN:
I was part of a team

that surveilled Mr. McDonnell
for about nine weeks.

CARTO:And what were
you looking for?

STEADMAN:
We were trying to determine
if he had possession

of classified
national defense information

that had been published
on the Internet.

Did he?
Yes. I saw the documents
on his computer myself.

And their presence was confirmed
by forensic examination

of the computer
after Mr. McDonnell

was arrested.
Why were

these documents significant?

The facility described
in the documents

stores what are known
as canned subassemblies.

They hold
enriched uranium

and other materials

that detonate a nuclear warhead.

Any terrorist would be
extremely motivated

to get his hands on them.
And these documents

describe where they're stored,

how they're transported,
correct?

Mm-hmm.
Highly, highly
valuable information.

That's right.

No further questions.

He's a winker.

[sighs]
Bad news.

The jury likes her.
That testimony killed.

Give us a chance.

CHUNK:
Ms. Steadman,
how did you

come to see the documents
on my client's computer?

It's not the sort of thing
he would readily share, correct?

I was working undercover
and had gained his trust.

"Gained his trust"? That's
an interesting phrase.

In fact, your job
was to insert yourself

into Mr. McDonnell's life
by pretending to be

romantically interested
in him

and then spy on him.

You lied about the most
personal things imaginable.

Did you ever kiss this
man to gain his trust?

Uh, we kissed a few times.

Yes.
Hmm.

Quite an accomplishment,
isn't it?

To get him to show you
these documents.

Took a lot of trust,

isn't that right?

I guess.

What did he talk about

when he showed you
these documents?

Objection, Your Honor.

Relevance.

This is the wedge.

Let's see
if she lets us in.

I'm willing to see
where this goes. Overruled.

Good.
STEADMAN:
He...

talked about what was
in the documents.

Anything else?

Agent?

He... talked about the region
around the facility.

Did he talk
about the people there as well?

I guess.
You were surveilling him.

You had to have known

what he did or
did not say.

Yes, he talked about the people.

Did he happen to mention
his concern for their health?

Your Honor...
That they were being poisoned

I object
in the strongest terms possible.
by leaks from this facility?

Counsel is way outside the scope
of this proceeding.

I was hoping you
wouldn't go there, Mr. Palmer.

Damn it.
Sustained. Move on.

You mentioned terrorists.

You found no evidence

of any connection
between Mr. McDonnell

and any individual
or terror groups, did you?

That's right.
Did he ever express

any interest in any
anti-American or terror group?

No.

No further questions,
Your Honor.

Redirect, Your Honor?

You mentioned

forensic analysis
of the computer.

And it showed
Mr. McDonnell

posted the documents on
several Internet sites, correct?

That's right.
Effectively making
them available

to every terrorist in the world.
Isn't that right?

Yes.
No further questions.

MARISSA:
You scored some points.

Jury's got more questions
about the government's case,

but it's not
enough to acquit.

BULL: Yeah.

We need more than skepticism.

We need an excuse.

Jurors need
to understand

there's a justification
for what he did.

No kidding.

But how are we
gonna get it in?

We tried the frontal assault.

You saw how that went.
MARISSA: Sorry
to bring it up,

but is it time for a second
talk with the other side

about a deal?
Carto is not
gonna discuss

anything now.

Why should he? He's winning.

DANNY:
Hey.

Sorry to break up the party.
I learned some things

about Carto.
What?

Well, he was a sheriff's deputy
upstate for a few years,

and then FBI
before he got his law degree.

Married, divorced.

In the FBI, he was

a wiretap specialist
on RICO cases,

[scoffs]
but something
went wrong,

and he was disciplined.

Disciplined for what?
No one can tell me.

I'd have to look
in his personnel file.

And why haven't you done that?

Well, 'cause it's not like
I can just walk

into the FBI and ask to see it.

Well, then you find another way
to do it!

Or are you
quitting?

Do you quit?!

CHUNK:
Bull.

That's a little harsh.

I'm not quitting.

Then why are we talking?

Do it!

I'll talk to him.

Not sure if I agree

with your
motivational technique.

With Danny or Taylor.
Oh, I'm sorry,

did I hurt someone's feelings?

Heavens. Let me sit down
and pen an apology.

I just, I have to...Look,

if you're gonna ask
if I'm okay, Marissa,

I'm gonna throw something.

All right, I won't do that.

Thank you.

Look, everyone is frustrated.

It's worse than that.

I feel like
we've strapped Jerry McDonnell

to the front of a car and we're
gonna drive him off a cliff.

We knew what defending against
the Espionage Act would be like.

It's brutal. That's why most
people confess and plea out.

That's an idea.

Plea out? Chunk said...

No, that's not what I mean.
Then what did you...

Okay.

Hi.

Don't drink too
much coffee.

We got to meet McDonnell
first thing in the morning.

Why?So we can convince him
to confess.

I don't understand.
If I confess, doesn't that mean

I'll go to prison for sure?
We're hoping

it'll keep you
out of prison.

We're not contesting
the elements of the crime.

You'll just be saying
what we've admitted.

Okay. I guess.
We'll also need you

to name the person
who gave you the documents.
I told you,

he's dead.

What's the point
of saying his name?

We want you to say
more than that.

CHUNK:Just to be clear, the
documents in question,

you had them?I did.

And you put them
on the Internet?

Yes.

How did you get them
in the first place?

I got a call from a friend
from high school.

His name was
Lane Burrell.

He said he was sick-- dying--

and he wanted to see me,
so I went.

And how did he
appear to you?

He was in the late stages
of myeloid leukemia.

He'd lost about
a third of his weight.

He was having trouble breathing.

H-He was my friend.

[choked up]
It was hard to see him
like that.

When did he die?

Three days later.

CHUNK:
I'm sorry.

MARISSA:
It's working.

This jury is totally engaged.

This could change

their thinking about the case.

If he can get the testimony in.

Carto sees
something coming.

What did your friend tell you?

Objection. Hearsay.

CHUNK:
Your Honor, Mr. Burrell passed

shortly after giving

these statements.

Under the dying declaration
exemption,

his statements are admissible.

Agreed. Go ahead.

Lane was an administrator
at the facility.

He said he'd taken some
documents-- he thought

I'd know how to get them out
so people could see them.

And why did he want people
to see them?

He said they showed

there had been accidents
at the facility

that released
radioactive material

into the atmosphere...
Objection, Your Honor!

Outside the scope of the trial.

CHUNK:
We're not discussing the
defendant's motives, Your Honor.

We're discussing the
defendant's source, Mr. Burrell.

Since he's not charged,

we're free
to talk about him.

It's an interesting point.

I'll allow it.
Your Honor...

Done, Mr. Carto.
Let's move along.

CHUNK:
Lane Burrell believed
that the facility

had released
radioactive materials

into the atmosphere.

Was that all?

He said there was evidence
of contaminated water as well.

Your Honor, again,
irrelevant.

JUDGE:
I ruled on this. Continue.

Did Mr. Burrell think
that the facility

was the cause of his illness?

Yeah. He thought
he contracted it

from being exposed...

Your Honor, now
the witness...

Is this guy for real?

CARTO:
I have to object.
Easy.

Can I be allowed
to question my witness?
No,

not when your questions mock
the court

and the rules of evidence
that have been established...

Come on! What are you afraid of?

Some truth's gonna come out?
Let our client speak!

JUDGE:
Dr. Bull! [sighs]

Please leave my courtroom,
or I'll have you removed.

♪

[door closes]

I had Carto on the ropes.

The story would have gotten out.

But the jury's not gonna
remember any of that now,

because someone stood up
in court and shouted!

I know you have been
through a lot, brother,

and I feel for you, I do.

But you're off your game.

Best you get it back.

[Bull sighs]

What are you doing home?
Remember when I told you

that I was gonna go
to the office

because everything was fine?

Mm-hmm.

[sighs] Well...

[chuckles softly]

I might not have been telling
the truth.

You don't say.

What happened?

[sighs heavily]

I blew up in court.

I might have blown up
the whole case.

Come here.

[sighs]
Huh...

What's going on?

[groans]

[hissing inhale]

I'm so angry.

I'm so...

angry all the time.

They came into our lives, Izzy,
and they threatened us,

they threatened our daughter.

My daughter.

[exhales]

I mean...

they nearly took everything
from us, didn't they?

How can that happen?

How could I let that happen?

[sniffles]

Maybe because...

you don't control
the world.

Maybe.

[sniffles]
Anyway...

I'm sorry, I...

[sighs]
I've been mean
to people.

Mean to people
at work, and...

This AUSA, he just...

he got me so angry.

I just said I'm gonna
take him to court,

and I'm gonna show him.

[scoffs]

And now he's winning.

You know what
the real question is.

What are you gonna do about it?

I don't know.

[passing horn honking]

♪ Heavy head on a motel bed

♪ I'm waiting there for you...

What can I get you?

I'm celebrating.
Got any champagne?

Not that kind of place.

How about some good tequila?

I got tequila...

in a good bottle.

[chuckles]

That'll do.

Independence Day?

Signed the papers this morning.

Best damn day of my life.

Mm.

I know that feeling.

You're divorced?

Nine wonderful years.

Ooh.

So welcome to the sisterhood.

That round's on the house.

Thanks.

[exhales]
I'll have another.

Buy you one?
Sure.

So, uh,
my ex is a dumb-dick cop.

So stupid.

Yours?

FBI when we were together.

Not so stupid,

actually.

He's a lawyer
for the government now.

Good news, though.

Alimony paid for this place.

The government, that's...
that's the worst.

Isn't it, though?

You know the difference
between a snake

and a U.S. attorney?

No.

[whispers]
Me, neither.

[chuckles]

I hear you.

Cheers.Cheers.

MAN:
Hey, Clara. Another round.

[scoffs softly]

Be right back.

I'm here.

[clattering in distance]

Ah.Oh.

I hope that isn't expensive.

It is.

Sorry.

[chuckles]
Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I found Carto's ex-wife.

Oh. Where?
Oh, this little bar

she owns in Queens.

Tequila's not great,
but there's plenty of it.

Did she give you

anything we can use?
Turns out

Carto got in trouble

'cause he started running
wiretaps on the side

when he couldn't
get a warrant.

He's got this buddy

who's a P.I.,
does electronic surveillance.

So whenever he
wants to drop

a private tap,
he hires his friend.

How does she know this?

'Cause he tried to do it to her

when they got a divorce.

Big mistake.
Cost him a lot.

She thinks

that he's been doing this
in the AUSA's office.

That's why he wins so much.

[snaps fingers]
Mm. Danny... that's great.

Thank you.
You said do it.

I did.

Yeah.

Listen, I know I...

I haven't been my best
around the office lately,

and, uh, I'm sorry about that.

Yeah, well... it's all right.

We all know
you're pretty messed up.

Yeah, I guess I am.

Listen, I need,

uh...

you to do something
for me again.

What?

The one thing that might save
Jerry McDonnell.

Come on,
we got to get inside.

I need you to do something
for me.

Yeah, deliver a closing
in about ten minutes.

I need you to ask for
a continuance just for a day.

Why?

We have a report there's been
a Brady violation.

Now, a source told us,
confidentially,

of course,
that the FBI

collected exculpatory evidence
from McDonnell's apartment

but did not turn it over.

We're awaiting a call

at noon today from our source.

What source?
What Brady violation?

What are you talking about?

Ask for a continuance.

Not until you tell me
what's going on.
As an officer

of the court,
you can't lie to the judge,

but you can go in there

and relay to her the information
I have just told you,

and you would not be lying.

I know it's been a hard
couple of days, and I...

...I've been a little out of it.

I'm sorry about that.

But trust me,

on this, Chunk.

Okay?

[door opens]

[door closes]

[sighs]
Okay.

Gentlemen, any business
before I call the jury in?

Your Honor.

I have a request.

Obviously,

there is no Brady violation.

Nope.
So why did I just
tell the court

that there is one?

MARISSA: So Carto will go
to the FBI and demand to know

if one exists-- they
will say no, because it doesn't.

But Carto will not believe them,

because he is a suspicious,
cheating worm

who thinks everyone is like him.

BULL:
I'm guessing he won't be able
to stand the possibility

of his precious victory
collapsing, so he's

gonna have his friend tap
our phones to intercept

the report from our source.
I've got a digital watchdog

on our phone system.

Anyone tries to get in,
I'll know.

Can't the FBI get past that?

Well, the FBI could.

Carto's working with some
private numbnut.

Can't beat Taylor.

CHUNK: And what happens if Carto

doesn't fall for it?
BULL:
You go in tomorrow,

tell the judge we were wrong
about the Brady violation,

give a beautiful closing
argument, and we lose.

Okay, I don't care
if I am an officer of the court,

I'm either gonna be in on the
play or there won't be no play.

[computer beeps]
Ooh.

11:54. Is that Carto?

It's definitely somebody
trying to get in.

I just can't tell who
or where they are.

MARISSA:
So we don't know

for sure if it's Carto.

Is that enough?

Yeah.

If you're here to ask
for another deal,

you could save it.

I like my chances
with the jury.

I am here about a deal, but
it's not for Jerry McDonnell.

Who, then?
We know you
tried to place

illegal surveillance equipment
on our office today.

And we know you've
done it before,

as a U.S. attorney
and with the FBI.

Cool, cool. Where's your proof?

Right now
we're preparing a subpoena

for your little
wiretapping buddy.

And you know how this story
goes, don't you, Walt?

He's gonna flip on you, and then
you're gonna be in prison

before the end
of the year.

And that'll be the end
of your career.

No.

What do you mean, no?

If you were
gonna do that,

you would have already done it;
we wouldn't be standing here.

I'd be in a room
with a dozen lawyers.

No, no, no, no.

See, you don't want me
arrested.

You're right.

I don't want you arrested.
No.

You know what I want?
Hmm?

I want you to give Jerry
a plea agreement,

and that agreement
is going to state

very clearly
that he does no jail time.

And then we will sit on
what we know about you,

and you can have
your career,

your reputation
and your freedom.

And Jerry gets his freedom,
and that is gonna be the deal.

I can't do it.

I answer to people,

and they take what McDonnell did
very seriously.

You have an hour to think
about it.

Get it done.

[chuckles]
See? That's the Duchenne smile.

[sighs]

[chuckles]

[lock buzzes]

No prison time?
None.

They're requiring
long probation-- seven years--

and you can't go on the Internet

for 22 months, and there's
some community service

and a few other things, but...

[laughs]
But no prison time.

Nope.

None.
[laughing]

[suppressed sob]

I...

[laughs]
I can't...

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

You got it.

How did you and Dr. Bull
pull this off?

Well...

that's a long story.

[laughs]

Hey.

Hey.
Is the little guy
ready to go?

Yeah, he'll be here
in a minute.

There was a small problem.

What?
The other night

when you were here
and didn't want him to know--

it turns out he knew.

He came into the bedroom
and saw us while we were asleep.

I just found out today.

But it's okay.
I took care of it.

What do you mean,
you took care of it?

It's fine.
He's a little cranky,

but he'll get over it.

[laughs]
Hey, buddy.

It's been a blast.
A hug?

Okay.

Mauricio! Hey!

Stop!

What's going on?
Come on, tell me.

Dad lied to me.

He told me I
didn't see you,

but I did.

He kept saying
you weren't there,

it was a dream,
but it wasn't.

I know I saw you.

You're right, buddy, you did.

So why did Dad lie to me?

He did that to help me.

He thought that's
what I wanted.

I'm so sorry.

We didn't mean to get you
caught up in this.

It just happened.

But you still shouldn't lie,
right?

No. You shouldn't.

You should always tell
the truth.

Wait here a minute, okay?

Will you watch my bag?

Hey.

Everything okay?

You're such a good kisser.

That time you kissed
me in my apartment

that started all this,
it felt so...

good.

Exciting.

I needed that.

And... you know me so well.

That felt good,
too. Easy.

[takes deep breath]

You said maybe we're
different people now, but...

I'm not.

And I can't keep lying to myself
that I am.

We could keep this
up for a while,

but eventually
it'll fall apart, and...

we'll both just be hurt again,
and our son

will be confused
and upset.

It stops now.

Taylor...

I'll see you next
week for drop-off.

[sighs]

Let's go home.

[door opens]

How was the first
voyage outdoors?

Good.

Turns out
I like being outside.

Might do it again tomorrow.

Who knows, could become a habit.

I'm glad to hear it.

So, how are you doing...

she asked the angry man
with the big knife.

Still angry.

But I'm working on it.

That's good.

So, my plan for this evening

Mm-hmm.
is to take
this delicious watermelon

and, uh, share it with
our delightful daughter Astrid

while we watch Wonder Pets!

Mm. Well, that sounds like
excellent therapy.

Well, I do have
that psychology degree.

Hey.

It's gonna be okay.

I know.

Thank you.

[calls]
Astrid? Mama's home.

[exhales]

Okay, here it comes, kiddo!
