Original subtitles

You see what that motherfucker did?

Okay.

Can you give me a copy of this?

Sure.

Just promise me you get that guy off the streets.

He's gonna kill somebody someday.

- We'll do our best, sir. - Yeah.

What'd he say?

"Kung Flu."

Okay, let's get him in.

Hey, I didn't do nothing, man.

Fuck those Chinamen bringing that shit here.

Huh? Fuck 'em!

This is bullshit!

Just fuck you.

Fuck you! Huh?

Hey!

He looks familiar, doesn't he?

Yeah, Mr. Tire Iron.

- Yep. - What are you talking about?

You like beating up 70-year-old women, Clay.

- You're famous around here. - That's bullshit.

- Bullshit! - Tell the judge about it

after you're processed.

- Hey, what's going on? - Working on the elevators.

Are you kidding? They've been doing that for months.

Yep. Cook County. Where you going?

Bond court.

Overflow is on the seventh floor.

You're kidding?

Hope you got your hiking boots.

Come on.

Oh, this is bullshit!

You need to learn another word, chief.

You can't have me going up all these stairs, man.

- I got a bad meniscus. - What's that?

- My knee. I got a bad knee. - Didn't look all that bad

when you were stomping the shit out of that lady.

Please, can everyone please stay in your line?

- Next case, please. - My God, this is insane.

It smells like shit in here.

- Fuck. - Whoa, whoa. What?

Judge just let my collar out on his own recognizance.

- Why? - Hey, sheriff's too busy.

Overcrowding.

I just climbed up seven flights for nothing.

I can't keep doing this shit.

See? What's the point?

Just let me go, man.

What, what are you thinking?

I'm thinking there might be another way.

Fuck it.

Hey, where are we going?

These cuffs are cutting into me, man.

- Almost there. - Where, asshole? Where? Where?

What the hell is this, a copy shop?

A court.

What the fuck? This isn't a court.

- What's going on? - We're on TV now.

It's what happens. I got a standing ovation.

Okay, quiet down.

Quiet down, or I'm gonna have to clear the court.

Come on, let's go, let's go.

Ah, the boys in blue. What do you have for me?

- Hate crime, Your Honor. - What did he do?

Punched a 72-year old woman

in the head, stomped on her, sent her to the hospital.

Bring him up here.

Make room, Mr. Zebra. Fly away, Eagle.

Your Honor, can we talk for a second?

- What do you need? - To talk.

- What's wrong? - Is that real?

- I don't understand. The case? - Yeah.

Did Del send them in to add drama?

- What? No. - Well, that's a serious case.

That's for a real court, not us.

- We're a real court. - Not for issues like that.

- You don't know that. - This is crossing a line.

Okay, wait. Let's listen to what they have.

Ask any questions you want.

If you think I'm crossing the line

after my ruling, send me a signal.

What signal?

How about this?

- Subtle. - How about this?

Oh, my God. Stop.

Okay, let's go.

- Where'd you get this? - From the bodega surveillance camera

on the corner.

Hey, that wasn't me.

Then you've got an identical twin, my friend.

Yeah, I-I do, actually, I do.

Your Honor, he told us in the patrol car why he did it.

Why'd you do it, sir?

I mean, it wasn't me, but...

but if it was, it's 'cause... it's 'cause these Asian assholes

are making us wear these masks, man.

I lost my apartment 'cause of them.

I have a question for the officers, Your Honor.

- Go ahead. - Why didn't you take this culprit

to Leighton Criminal Court?

We did. I mean, we processed him,

tried to transfer him to sheriff's custody,

but due to overcrowding, arrestees were being released

- on their own recognizance. - And Clay's attacked before.

In fact, this hate crime only happened because Clay

was released without bail a week ago.

Yeah, he was called Mr. Tire Iron.

He beat a 75-year-old woman at a bus stop.

That's why we're here, Your Honor.

No, he's lying. They're lying.

I never hurt anybody who didn't hurt me.

Okay.

It is never my preference to preempt Cook County,

but it is my belief that this man will hurt someone again

if released.

So...

I am sentencing you, sir,

to one year in David Cord's private prison,

where he will receive psychological counseling,

and this court will review again in one month

to determine his progress.

- Thank you, Your Honor. - Take him into custody, Dean.

I didn't do anything! I didn't do anything!

I had to punch her 'cause she was gonna punch me!

She was gonna punch me, man!

It's 10-22. Is 10-24 on air?

10-24. Go with 10-22.

10-24 should consider alternate processing venue

at Atlantic and Howard.

10-22, what is Atlantic and Howard?

10-24, best you see for yourself.

Just disposed of our 510 there.

No stairs. No wait.

Uh, 10-24, advised. We're out.

So, first...

I should warn you that I'm bad at interviewing.

Also, I took some cough syrup this morning,

so I'm a bit more intuitive than usual.

You haven't worked in a law firm in ten years, Ms. Durado.

Why come back now?

- It's an interesting time. - Why is that?

After a fire, all that's left are the foundations.

It's a good time to rebuild.

And how would you rebuild?

Recently, I've become obsessed with space law.

- Sorry? - Space law.

Mineral rights on the moon.

Real estate law on Mars.

Well...

it was nice to meet you.

No, it wasn't. But our second meeting will go better.

- I grow on people. - Good to know.

Ms. Durado.

What do Liz and Diane see in you?

They think I'll be a figurehead here.

Someone they can manipulate into agreeing with them.

- They both think that? - Yes.

Mm. And why do they both think that?

Because I encourage them to.

I notice, in a partisan world,

the person in the middle controls the agenda.

Look at Joe Manchin.

His wife didn't even know he existed last year,

and now he controls America.

Are you shitting me?

David, we are shitting you about so many things,

- you're gonna have to be more specific. - She's a nutbag.

I tell you to fix your differences,

- you bring me Space Woman. - Allegra is legendary.

She created and ran her own law firm.

She has published groundbreaking legal treatises.

The woman is brilliant, David.

I'm sure, if you want to buy real estate on the moon.

She's looking into space law, because it's a way to appeal

to Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.

We're not bringing her on. You two need to look again.

No. We want her, and if you're gonna fight us,

you can take it to STR Laurie.

I amSTR Laurie.

Let's see if STR Laurie agrees.

I liked you two better when you hated each other.

The family farm,

the backbone of America,

the backbone of our company.

Plum Meadow Farms.

You know our name... We're the ice cream guys.

Started in 1921 by two brothers,

Guy and George Plum,

we grew from a small family farm into a global company

with stores in all 50 states.

So drop by your neighborhood store today.

As you can see, we have to be careful

with our business partners, so...

we have a few deal points still to be worked out.

Would love to get to it today.

Tell us your points; we'll tell you ours.

"New Venture OIC,

"henceforth known as 'the Craft Grower, '

"assumes responsibility for acquiring

"a Department of Agriculture Administers License

"no later than October 31st

- of this year." - Agree to make good-faith effort

- but no date certain. - Fine.

"Craft Grower will be responsible

for 25,000 square feet of canopy space by January 7..."

- "Inclusive of land in California." - Agreed.

"And Plum Meadow Farms,

"henceforth known as 'the Distributor, '

"assumes responsibility for acquiring

Special Use Dispensary License."

Contemporaneous with us acquiring Administers License.

Agreed.

"Packaging to be sole purview

- of Distributor." - No problem there.

"Wholly owned frozen yogurt locations to be converted

to cannabis-related retail outlets."

Standard territorial exclusivity.

If that's important to you.

- It is. - Can we see the samples, Jimbo?

Hey.

Ay, Dios mío.

Mira esto.

Gracias.

Que mono.

Mira, Mami.

- Para ti. - As you can see,

this is our agreed-upon promo for our co-vendor.

Peace. Love.

The spirit of change.

That's America, and that's Plum Meadow Farms.

Now with our new Cannabis Treats line.

Guy and George Plum were there at Woodstock

handing out free ice cream to the flower power generation.

And now we're bringing a whole new line

of safe and delicious cannabis products

to the 21st century.

So tune in, turn on,

- and drop by one of our stores today. - Okay.

We supply the pot and cultivation,

and you the distribution.

Yes.

- Bravo. - Uh, one issue

that we haven't addressed is the...

cessation of illegal activities by the parties.

Marijuana is no longer illegal in Illinois.

Yes. But we want the contract to take into account the full...

"spectrum" of Mr. Rivi's previous business model.

What are we talking about here?

Mr. Rivi is involved with distributing other...

"products" that are not yet legal.

Um, such as cocaine.

I'm sure you can understand, Ms. Moyo,

that I need to protect my client from being held liable

for Mr. Rivi's illegal activities.

Sigue, 'cause I'm brown,

I must be up to some illegal shit, right?!

- I don't judge. I litigate. - No, no.

Wait. Wait!

Sidebar!

Let's all sidebar.

Who the hell are you?

Your lawyer, sir. And we need to talk.

I-I hear you, Oscar, okay?

But he... he wants your product.

And he needs you more than you need him.

No, he needs my product, not me.

He'll send me to jail, then deal with my number two.

Um, whoa, I'm your number two.

You expect me to fuck you?

No, no, no, no, mami, no, no, no.

O-Okay, p-please don't... no, don't say that here.

Why don't we take these ideas, the gummies,

the candy, and do them ourselves?

We're doing all the fucking work.

He's coming in with nothing.

No, he's coming in with brick and mortar.

He's got the infrastructure.

We've got the motherfucking infrastructure!

Mr. Rivi, what he's giving you is respectability.

Marijuana is still problematic with the Feds.

This gets them off your back.

- So what do we do? - Take something from him.

Something he doesn't realize is worth $550 million.

Like what?

Merchandising.

It's not specified in the contract.

What? T-shirts and bullshit?

Come on.

Nobody gives a shit.

Ask George Lucas if he gives a shit.

The Star Warsguy?

What the fuck does he have to do with this?

20th Century Fox wanted to close on a contract for Star Wars,

but they were too far apart on up-front fees.

So Lucas suggested something no one cared about:

merchandising.

You know, T-shirts and shit.

Marijuana is not the same as Star Wars.

- Okay? - You're right.

It's more addictive.

And where have you been this whole time?

- Why are you joining us now? - I was just hired.

Mami.

We want this, Oscar.

Or... I leave you.

Mami. No, no, no, no, no.

My wife Isabel and I, uh,

want her on this negotiation.

Who, Carmen? You... you've got her.

No, no. The other one.

Allegra.

That can be arranged.

Hmm.

Yo.

- Eight-ball of yay. - Eight-ball?

All right, it's gonna be $200, all right?

Not here. Up there.

Got it?

Is that an eighth?

It's what you asked for, playboy.

- Shit! - On the ground! On the ground!

On the ground!

- Stay down! - We didn't do anything wrong.

Got anything that's gonna stick me?

Yeah, it's just hanging between my legs.

Yo, reach into my back pocket.

I got a card given to me by Oscar Rivi.

- It's his lawyer. He'll get us out in a few hours. - I doubt it, chief.

- Yeah, you want to bet, pussy? - I sure do.

We're not going to the usual court.

Hold on, what? Hold on, what are you talking about?

- Get up! - Yeah, you're gonna see.

This, this, boys, is gonna be interesting.

*THE GOOD FIGHT* Season 05 Episode 09

Episode Title: " And the End Was Violent..."

Aired on: August 19, 2021.

All rise!

And welcome to Wackner Rules!

What is this? Where are we?

Okay, everybody be seated.

Quiet, please.

No more autographs from Marissa.

Gentlemen,

what's the charge, please?

We caught them dealing, Your Honor.

Cocaine. Crystal.

We ask that bail be denied.

Thank you, Marissa.

Are they a flight risk, Officers?

Every corner boy in this city is a flight risk.

Where's your evidence for that?

- We'll collect some data for you, Your Honor. - Please do.

Devil's Advocate, what do you have to say?

These young men

are the victims of a system

that arbitrarily declares some drugs illegal

and others, like alcohol, not.

They should be released.

To hold them is to perpetuate an unfair system.

Bro, what the fuck kind of court is this?

Seriously?

- Mr. Prosecutor. - "Perpetuate an unfair system"?

Ask the poor homeowners in the neighborhoods. Ask 'em.

Ask 'em just how innocent these drugs are.

They're devastating the community.

Watch The Wire, episode "Hamsterdam."

Crime is caused by criminalizing drugs.

You're talking about a TV show.

Your Honor, you've always said:

art is just as important as evidence.

No, Grateful Dead is just as important.

Defense?

- Come on, Defense. - Oh.

Your Honor, this is not a hate crime

in which, I agreed, it was a good idea

to get a crazy person off the street.

These cops are asking you to trust them.

- Where's the evidence? - Here. These are the drugs

- they were selling. - Dean.

How do we know you found these drugs on them?

Are you seriously questioning our honor?

Defund the police! Defund the police!

- Shut up! Shut up! - Defund the poli...

I am questioning the evidence.

That is the point of a trial.

These young men should be taken to Cook County courthouse.

I didn't do anything wrong.

Your Honor, we should add, this kid said

if we took him to Cook County he'd be out within an hour

because he works for Oscar Rivi, Chicago's answer to El Chapo.

And I hope you notice the court clerk's reaction

to the name Rivi, because her firm defends him.

- Is that true? - We defend a lot of people.

Boo!

Okay, here's how we'll leave it. I'm denying bail.

- Your Honor! - No, no, nobody gets everything they want.

- Defund the police! Defund... - You either... Hey, hey, hey!

Settle down!

We'll hold these two boys for 48 hours.

Then I want to hear more on this evidence.

You wanted a trial, Ms. Court Clerk?

You got one.

So...

you sandbagged me.

- What are you talking about? - I told you to get rid of her,

and you hooked her up with Rivi.

- Oh, my God, David, you're so paranoid. - I mean, why would...

Well, now it's your problem.

I took it to STR Laurie,

and they're not kicking in any more for infrastructure.

So find yourselves ten percent in savings

for your Space Lady.

Well, we never filled Boseman's position, so...

Uh, she's not Boseman.

No. She's not.

She has more stature, David.

This is your moronic misogyny.

That is such bullshit.

Every time you two don't like something,

you hurl misogyny or racism.

Well, sometimes a woman isn't as good,

and a Black person isn't, either.

Oh, God. Says the old white guy.

Ten percent. We have a conference call

with Dubai on Thursday

to tell them where the savings are coming from.

My clients really want to make this work.

They are prepared to accept the...

irregularities of your books.

No irregularities.

Our business was illegal prior to 2020.

Understood and reservedly accepted.

We've also agreed

to your extraordinary merchandising rider.

The only thing extraordinary

is that you consider it extraordinary.

- Mami. - But you have to understand

that your legal issues greatly increase our exposure to risk.

And our insurance premiums have risen exponentially,

so we ask that you share that risk.

No.

We cannot in good conscience sign this deal

without your agreement to share...

Then let's get the hell out of here.

Corporate America thinks they can fuck me

in my own house.!¡Mira!

You need this deal, Mr. Rivi.

No, you need to stop fucking with us,

or we walk across the street to Ben & Jerry's.

Next.

All right.

Thank you. Let's do some good here.

I cannot wait.

- Salud. - Salud.

- Nice work. - I've been missing this.

If we consolidate incidentals...

Yeah, that's-that's maybe, like, one percent.

Well, I'm not firing any more associates.

Yeah, well, you act like I want to.

What do you think, Allegra?

I think hire back all the associates you fired

and add 20% more.

I-I don't think you're hearing

the issue here, Allegra... We need to reduce.

Why?

Because we don't run our own business.

We work for a global conglomerate.

STR Laurie has an annual revenue

of over $4 billion,

or 14.6 billion dirham.

Why would they need us to cut anything?

Even our toenails?

Our income is down because of the pandemic.

No. We're in an economy bloated by federal dollars

and a populace hungry for revenge.

Business is about to explode.

We need to argue that our clients will leave us

if they keep thinking we're cutting.

Oh, because they will.

If income is down, don't cut.

Build.

So, what do you think?

I think we made a mistake going with Allegra.

So she shouldn't be on the Zoom call with Dubai.

Hey.

I thought you were gonna kick Diane out.

No. No, no, no, no, no.

It's just that, uh, some of the partners want her to...

take a step...

step down.

What do you want?

I want to stop fighting.

I want, uh...

I want her to stop using her racist clients to keep her job,

and I...

I just want the firm to be led in the right way

by the right people.

So you bring on a third partner to appease her?

Can I say something? Just one thing.

Come.

Women...

Women at work always want to be thought of as nice.

- Oh, my God. - No, no, no, no, no, look, look.

- Okay. - Women always want consensus.

But you know what, baby? Sometimes you just got to say,

"Fuck you...

you and you and you."

All right? "This is my business, and it's my decision."

- Okay, thank you, Al Capone. - No, I'm serious.

Look, Diane stretched this whole thing out,

and she's playing to your sweet side.

Okay, can... I-I-I deal with this all day at work.

Can we just...

talk about something else, anything else less problematic?

Please? Please, please, please. Thank you.

Palestine.

- God. - Okay, seriously, though.

Here's the real subject.

- Uh-oh. - Uh, no, no, no, no, no.

My boss wants me to come back to L.A.

Your boss? Wait, I thought... I thought you were the boss.

I am the boss, but the boss always has a boss.

Why L.A.?

Chicago was always supposed to be temporary.

But then, dang it...

I went and fell for...

Chicago.

The stand-up...

- and the pizza... - Yeah.

You.

So we should have this conversation now.

Okay, you start.

No, no, no, no. I'm terrible at this.

No, wait, I-I thought that all men are much better at saying

exactly what they mean.

Do you want me to stay or go back to L.A.?

What do you want?

I do like the stand-up.

I love the pizza.

Well, then you should stay.

Is that a good idea?

Um, yeah. I mean, if you like the stand-up and the pizza,

then sure.

Okay.

What?

Cops?

Fuck.

We've checked every district, and they're not there.

What about Homan Square?

It's not operational anymore.

The cops won't give up the black sites.

The question is, who?

We thought you might have ideas.

Una.

That piece of shit over there.

They wouldn't do that, Oscar.

You're right.

They'll just get their cop friends to do it for them.

You think I fucking care about your dumb-ass cows?

It was a professional hit.

Do you know how stupid you sound?

You want to bust this deal, you're doing a great job.

No, no, no, no, no, we didn't do shit!

You kidnapped our employees, man!

Fancy! Well, you want to describe to us

how you think that went down?

- We didn't do shit! - Marissa.

Can we please talk about this another time?

No.

I know where his missing dealers are.

- What? Where? - Wackner's court.

No, but I-I don't understand. What-what are they doing there?

- They're being held for trial. - What trial?

It's not a real court.

The police are using it.

They arrest drug dealers and bring them to our court.

Oh, my God. They're about to go to war in there.

Wait, wait, wait. You have to stop Rivi

from going apeshit... He'll kill Wackner.

Marissa, we have to tell him.

Okay. But the cops are not on your side.

Wackner will let those corner boys go, just give him a chance.

Marissa, if I don't tell Rivi, he's gonna kill thoseguys.

So then tell him, but keep him in check

until we can get his employees released.

Oh, God.

Law school never prepared me for this.

Did you really think that you could just walk in here

- with your fancy... - Okay, you know,

- I'm just gonna go get Liz. - Yeah, yeah.

You son of a whore!

- Who is this man? - Hal Wackner.

He runs an alternative court.

Usually just small claims issues.

Well, have him bring our men back immediately.

We will go to him right now and plead their case.

Their case?

Their fucking case? Who are you?

- Marissa Gold. - Well, Marissa Gold, there is no case.

If there was a case, she is our lawyer!

Yes, but I have a relationship with Hal.

- Trust me, I'm the one you want. - No, no, no, no, no, no.

- She is our lawyer! - Yes, and Carmen...

will explain this to Hal

and get this cleaned up immediately.

Well, why not that Allegra lady?

No. She doesn't have as much sway.

Carmen will get your employees released.

And I will reach out to Carter Schmidt

and see if we can repair things with, uh...

with Plum Meadow.

So, we'll get right on this, and we will speak in an hour.

Greetings from STR Laurie in Chicago.

What's the temperature in Dubai and London?

- Hot. - Rainy.

Good to know.

Thank you for making time for this call.

I think you know our name partners, Diane Lockhart

- and Liz Reddick... - What do you have for us?

As you can see from the proposed budget,

uh, Liz and Diane have taken your guidance very seriously.

We are not quite at ten percent, but we are getting there.

These things can be delicate.

Sorry, I'm having problems with my computer,

so I'm on my iPad.

Oh, God.

Uh, A-Allegra, we...

uh, we said we didn't need you to be at this.

Uh, we-we want to introduce you to the team properly.

No, no, I'm here.

Allegra, there's something wrong with your Zoom.

You... you have a cat's face.

- I have a what? - Uh, you-you have a filter on

that-that looks like a cat.

Huh. Oh.

So I do.

I let my niece use my iPad this weekend.

She was having fun

with her friends.

Let's see here.

Okay, is this better?

No. That's just a different breed.

Oh.

Well, I guess we're stuck with it.

But you can hear me, right?

I'm afraid so.

Good. Because I've thought a lot about this issue.

I happen to have researched

Sharia financial law,

- and I have a few thoughts. - We need to shut her down now.

- Right. - In Sharia law, you're not supposed

to charge or pay interest.

Now, I know you guys wouldn't have all those tall buildings

without a little necessary borrowing, now, would you?

Who is this cat?

Sir, I am not a cat.

- Holy fuck. - My point is,

there's a certain level of...

I wouldn't say hypocrisy,

but maybe... flexibility?

So when you think of us, think of Emirates Airlines.

That's why you invested in this firm.

Come on.

Uh, uh...

I-I'm being called away.

Meow.

Sorry, sorry.

Admittedly...

the filter wasn't great.

But I stand by what I said.

It was the right strategy.

I know those kind of men.

- They respond to flexed biceps. - Allegra,

uh, we need to talk.

We aren't sure this is gonna work out.

I understand.

I'm an acquired taste.

Hmm, just tell me when you want me out of here.

Your Honor, uh...

Your-Your Honor, I-I represent the-the boys

- you've detained. - "Boys"?

Really? They're 19.

Uh, Your Honor, it's not important how old they are.

They're-they're not... criminals.

This is Kewame James,

one of the youths you've incarcerated.

He takes care of his father, who has emphysema,

and his two baby sisters.

Music, Phil.

Uh, his-his life is a struggle.

He can barely keep above water as he tries to keep his family

- above water. - Oh, please.

He also sells drugs.

Please spare me all the social media crap.

You should see what these "families" are really like,

what these people are like.

"These people"? A-Are we judging based on race?

No, that is political nonsense.

And, Your Honor, take a look at who just walked

into the courtroom.

Wrong music, Phil. Oscar Rivi.

One of the top drug dealers in Chicago.

Your Honor, that is prejudice.

Mr. Rivi just signed a deal

with the top yogurt distributor on the East Coast,

- Plum Meadow Farms. - That is insane.

- I mean, they can make up whatever they want. - I would agree.

- Sounds pretty improbable. - Actually, Your Honor,

I can swear to that. I was there for the signing.

Your Honor, I am now a respectable...

businessman.

My friends and employees should not be judged

by their skin color or background...

- This is bullshit, Your Honor. - You see?

The police wants to judge me for my old ways.

But where is their forgiveness, Your Honor?

And why are my three employees being judged

by my past sins?

Your Honor, we ask that you release them.

How many of his employees are we currently holding

- in Cord's prison? - Two, Your Honor... Kewame and Andres.

No, no, no, you have three:

Kewame, Andres and Matteo.

No, I only have two.

Maybe Matteo called in sick that day.

No, he did not.

Or maybe he took a "me" day for self-care.

- Do you give your employees wellness days? - Uh, Your Honor,

- we're certain three youths were taken. - Not by us.

Rivi wants to set you up, Your Honor.

Your Honor...

please...

do not fuck with me.

No one is fucking with you, sir.

Maybe you should take a self-care day, too.

For your own good.

!¡Puta!

Heard about court today.

Wackner... It-it sounds like it was wild.

Yeah, it was exciting.

How do you deal with liability?

The usual. Releases.

You'd be surprised how many people want to be on TV.

- Yeah, Rivi doesn't. - Mm, not your drug lord, no, no.

But there are ways around that.

Just talk to the TV show Cops.

Uh-oh.

Maybe I shouldn't have said that to his legal team.

Nuh-uh. No. No.

No, I was just...

I don't know, I was just thinking about...

The Apprentice.

Remember how we all watched and laughed

and thought it was funny when they fired people?

We? No, no.

Hmm, you... you never watched The Apprentice.

- Okay, no, no, no. - No.

But, you know, my friends did, and...

you know, then hebecame president.

I think in large part because of that program.

So you're afraid of Wackner becoming president?

No. Oh, God.

God forbid. But aren't you...

Do you want to become Mark Burnett?

- That came out of nowhere. - No. It didn't.

Mm... there are lines being crossed everywhere.

Do your clients cross lines?

Excuse me?

- You represent Wackner. - Oh, yeah.

We... tried to get rid of him.

You represent murderers, rapists, drug dealers.

Your client tried to choke my star tonight.

But-but you're okay with him.

So... so what is wrong with Mark Burnett in your universe?

Hmm?

Would your firm turn him down

if he wanted to join the roster? Hmm?

Good point.

- Really? - Yeah.

Because...

- you don't look like it was a good point. - No, no.

No, I meant it.

Do you want me to go back to L.A.?

No.

Uh...

no, I don't want that.

But maybe it's what you're meant to do. I...

Liz...

my work is just that...

Work.

I know.

Mine, too.

No. Wackner only processed two. There wasn't a third.

What? Maybe you just don't know about the third.

Carmen, I was here when they brought them in.

If they were hiding someone else, I would know.

Okay, Wackner is not obliged to inform you

about his every move.

Okay? We have no idea

- what that guy is really thinking. - You won him over

with your argument, Carmen.

If he released the two, he would have released a third.

Look, I...

I don't know why you've been wasting so much time

with this joke court.

Because it's not gonna magically

turn you into a real lawyer, Marissa.

Jay, I need your help.

I've asked Liz and Diane to let me argue to you

before we decide on our next step.

What next step?

Our next step is you go away.

I realize I didn't present my argument effectively.

Oh, really? You mean with a cat face?

Look, I-I've been to Dubai,

as part of a commission on women's rights.

When I was planning my trip,

everyone said, "You've got to fly Emirates Airlines."

"Why," I asked. "Reasonable fares?

Friendly service?"

"No. Marble showers."

- What are you talking about? - Emirates Airlines

saw a decline in business travel

throughout 2016 and 2018,

so they brought in an American troubleshooter to advise.

The troubleshooter said,

"Lay off 30% of airline staff."

You know what the airline did instead?

Wear a cat face for investors?

They put marble showers on their airplanes!

That's who these people are, where they come from.

They don't respect "sensible outlays."

They respect excess and strength.

We let them nickel-and-dime us,

we're on a downward spiral.

We need to go right back at them

and say, "This is what we need,

because this is what you deserve from a law firm."

No.

What do you mean, "No"?

I mean, I don't think we should cut ten percent out of our firm.

In fact, we need to hire more.

This is not a request, Mr. Lee.

Recently, I was planning a trip to the Middle East,

and everyone told me, "You have to fly Emirates Airlines."

You know why?

Marble showers.

- So what do I do? - Nothing.

You let me talk.

- I can't help? - No.

Stay right there. Don't do anything.

I will.

What's up?

I'm not a cop.

- Okay. - I'm looking for a kid who's gone missing.

Used to hang out on this block.

Named Matteo.

Yeah.

"Subject to arrest"?

Now, Mike and Roger,

this is a tough case...

but, Mike, we all know your dog pooped in Roger's yard.

But, Your Honor, he has no poop proof.

- Where's the footage? - Mike...

your dog poops everywhere. Everywhere.

I sentence you to clean Roger's shoes

and have that dog properly potty trained.

Case closed, and God is good.

- All the time. - And all the time, God is good!

God is good.

Well, I'll be darned.

- Marissa Gold from the show? - Oh.

We got ourselves a real-life celebrity!

What are you doing here?

Uh, Ms. Clark...

Hmm, Vinetta.

Or, uh, Judge Vinetta, if we're in chambers.

Vinetta.

We wanted to know if you recognize this youth.

- Oh, yeah, Matteo. - Do you know him?

From my basement.

He's in your basement?

He's in a time-out.

- He's in a voluntary time-out? - Well, it depends on what you mean by "voluntary."

But, look, I will say this...

Ever since I started up my court

and began putting kids like Matteo in time-out,

the neighborhood has been great.

Can we see him?

Sure.

Matteo?

- Yes, ma'am? - Hear that? Manners.

I've got some people here to see you.

How you doing, child?

I'm okay. Ma'am.

This bread pudding is amazing.

Did we forget to say something?

- Thank you, Miss Vinetta. - Right!

Okay, you're a work in progress,

- but we're gonna get you there, son. - Matteo,

- do you need anything? - Some more of that brisket from last night.

Boy, you better quit.

You had three servings of that brisket.

Ooh, God is good.

All the time.

Vinetta, you need to let him out of time-out.

- After his trial. - He's one of Oscar Rivi's boys.

Rivi wants him back.

I don't care whose boy he is.

Oscar Rivi is a very dangerous man.

I've got God on my side.

You're welcome to defend him if you wish.

Ooh, it would be an honor to have Marissa Gold try a case

in my court.

- When's that? - Tomorrow.

I'm sorry.

What?

It's another court.

And she has Matteo, the third kid.

You're kidding.

No.

You know what we got to do?

- Get Matteo out. - No.

I got to see this.

It's finally happening.

What's happening?

Justice.
