An hour ago, I resigned as
State's Attorney of Cook County.

REPORTER:
Are you still involved
with prostitutes, sir?

PETER:
Thanks for playing
the breadwinner for a while.

It's not gonna last forever.

ALICIA:
I just wanted to say thank you
for the opportunity.

Glad you could come aboard.

DIANE:
Not only are you coming back

to the workplace fairly late,

but you have some
very prominent baggage.

But, hey, if she can do it,
so can you.

Kalinda Sharma.
Oh, the investigator.

You're Peter Florrick's wife.
That's right.

ALICIA:
Last time I was in court
was 13 years ago.

Wow, I was 12.

(both laugh)

State's attorney's here.

I'm Glenn Childs.

Peter blames me
for his downfall.

Don't make yourself
collateral damage here.

ALICIA:
The day you leaked
that sex tape

to the press and forced me
to shield my children,

that was the day I became
collateral damage.

You've obviously never made
a woman angry before.

(sighing)

An hour ago, I resigned as
State's Attorney of Cook County.

But I do admit
to a failure of judgment

in my dealings
with these women.

I've never abused my office

for sexual favors.

Give us time to heal and
rebuild their trust... trust...

(alarm clock beeps)

GRACE (in distance):
Mom, breakfast.

CARY:
Oh, hey, congratulations.

That's great. Your husband's
appeal-- it looks like

he could get out of prison
any month now, huh?

Looks like it.
Early Show had a story on it.

Some good stuff on you, too.

Did you catch it?
No, missed it.

Yeah, I caught it online.

I can send you the link.
That's okay.

No, no, no, it's easy.

So Litigation wants me
on this new class action.

That's where I'm headed.

What about you?

Oh, I don't know.

Oh, in here, I guess.

DIANE:
When did you say this was?

May 15, four
months ago.

WILL:
Do you have anything
with the date?

WOMAN:
A parking receipt.

DIANE:
Had you ever met
Mr. McKeon before?

No.

I'd seen his
family on the news.

I heard about their hotels and
stuff, but that's about it.

WILL:
Well, the problem
here, Christy,

is that any civil suit

could be seen as...

...opportunistic.

CHRISTY:
Because of their money?

Yes.

I'm sorry,

but I didn't choose my rapist.

DIANE:
This kid doesn't know
what she's in for.

Taking on the
McKeon family...

Alicia, if you don't mind,

we just need to...
No, it's all
right, stay.

WILL:
I don't know about this.

It's a criminal case,
not a civil one.

Except the new
State's Attorney

rejected the charges.

Yeah, because it's got

Duke lacrosse
written all over it.

Oh, come on.

What come on?

Put your politics aside, Diane.

You're Glenn Childs,
you get this

dropped in your lap-- a stripper

at a bachelor party

accusing the son
of the most powerful family

in Chicago of rape--
and you don't think

it's Duke lacrosse II?

He's worried about
the McKeon family money.

He's worried about
their campaign contributions.

Well, I'm worried that
we're overextended.

How many Sheffrin-Marks depos
do we have left?

210.
210.

We need to keep
our eye on the ball.

And Christy is just gonna
look like she's trying

to make some quick cash
from the McKeon family.

Do you believe her?

I believe a lot of things

I can't prove.

All right,

here's what I think.

I know the McKeon family lawyer.

Ericcson?
Right,

William Ericcson.

That's just what we need--
two Wills.

The McKeons are gonna
want to keep this out of

the press,
even if he didn't do it.

So my guess is
they throw her some cash,

maybe 50 grand or so
to keep her quiet.

Hmm, yeah.

(dialing phone)

Mr. Ericcson, please.

Tell him it's the other Will.

I want you to be
at this lunch.

Don't say anything.

Just listen
and look serious.

I can do that.

How you holding up here?

I'm holding up.

Oh, yeah, how
do you know her?

Who?

Christy.

I don't.

Then why did she ask for you
to be on the case?

I don't know.

Ericcson here.

Will.

Will.

I think you know
why I'm calling.

Two months ago,
Peter Florrick was sentenced

to ten years for bribery
and corruption.

Today was the first step
toward his release.

REPORTER:
He was known in Chicago
simply as "The Hammer."

He jailed cop-killers,
CEOs, corrupt politicians,

until "The Hammer"
got hammered.

An hour ago, I resigned as
State's Attorney of Cook County.

REPORTER:
Within weeks, Chicago's
incorruptible State's Attorney

found himself
with all the trappings

of a modern American scandal:

A rival with an eye on his job,
an embarrassed wife,

a blushing call girl
and an R-rated sex tape.

AMBER:
Does she do this for you?

Does she?

PETER:
Oh, God, please. You are ama...

Hey, ever heard
the whole thing?

No.

You're the only one who hasn't.

Everything I
have on McKeon.

MAN:
What?!

I beat you three
sets to two.

Oh, come on,
you don't even believe that.

(chuckles)

This is driving me crazy.

How do I know you?

Me?

Miner, Parsons & Layton?

(elegant piano music plays)

Alicia is actually
our newest junior associate.

One month in.

Will Ericcson,
Alicia Florrick.

Well, it is very nice
to meet you,

Mrs. Florrick.
You, too.

I'm rooting for your husband.

I know he has a lot
of enemies in this town,

but I always root
for the underdog.

(chuckles)

Oh, just ignore him.

The only reason someone's
forced out of public office

in America these days is sex.

So let's talk about
Lloyd McKeon.

It's so sad, really.

I remember when you had
a respectable firm, Will.

One that wouldn't sink to
scurrilous charges like these.

And what charges
might those be, Will?

I haven't said anything yet.

Do you think you're
the first firm

she's shopping
this lawsuit to?

There's nothing there.

Even the State's Attorney--
the new State's Attorney--

thinks there's
nothing there.
And yet

I got you to a settlement lunch
on a half hour's notice.

(chuckles)

Mrs. Florrick,
what would you say

to someone bringing
unsubstantiated sexual charges

against a public figure just
in order to gain an advantage?

You want to know
what I would say?

I would.

I would say you're trying to
change the subject from rape.

Well, I would agree that,
as offensive and misguided

as these charges are, the optics

aren't exactly
in our favor.

So we're willing
to make an offer.

It's nonnegotiable.

You have till end
of business day.

McKeon did it.

Under a hundred thou,
I would've said no.

Over a hundred thou...

What about well over?

If you don't mind my asking,
Ms. Barbosa,

why did you request me?

I saw you on TV.

I thought you'd
understand

what it's like
to be misunderstood.

(door opens)

WILL:
Ladies.

Sorry about that.

McKeon's lawyers made
a financial offer

that Diane and I
actually agree on.

A first.

It's a cash
settlement.

$450,000.

You're kidding.

We don't have to go to court?

He just offered that?

You'll have to sign a standard
confidentiality agreement.

Both parties free
each other of liability

and agree not to speak to
anyone, including the press.

What?

DIANE:
It's standard

in civil agreements.

I want everybody
to know he settled.

Can't we tell the police?

Not if we sign
a confidentiality agreement.

McKeon could withdraw the award
and sue you for defamation.

What do you think?

I think under the cir...

(clears throat)

I think you're looking
for justice, Christy.

And sometimes justice comes
in a form we don't expect.

If you take this money,
the settlement will be known

to the two people
that matter most, you and him.

I'm sorry, no.

He'll know how much it costs to

rape somebody and get
away with it, that's all.

This is about him admitting
that he did this to me.

She's right.

WILL:
Okay, Ericcson,

how flexible are you
on confidentiality?

Exclude new
criminal discovery.

Oh, come on, this isn't...

You want to go to court,
is that it?

Take it as far
as pretrial?

He doesn't want
to go to trial.

Look, Ericcson,

you want to make McKeon

the Bachelor
Party Rapist,

be my...

That's how you
want to play it?

(beep)

We just turned down
a half million bucks.

Feels good,
doesn't it?

Looks like we got a case.

Captioning sponsored by
CBS TELEVISION

You have to size these things up
pretty quickly.

12 clients, stockbroker types,
no one out of control.

It was easy.

They paid $400 for a 90-minute,
two-girl fantasy strip.

Two girl?

Who was the other girl?

Maura...

I-I don't remember
her last name.

That was the only time
she worked.

(speaking Spanish)

(speaking Spanish)

Sorry.

She insists on being here
during all this.

It's a nightmare.

KALINDA:
And McKeon,

how'd you meet him?

The groom?

Hmm.
He offered me
another $100

for a private lap dance.

When I got in the bedroom,
he locked the door.

Then he grabbed me.

I tried to get the mace
from my bag, tried to shout.

Did you tell anyone afterwards?

Maura.

And our driver Grant.

He was the one
who suggested she drive me

to the hospital
for the rape exam.

KALINDA:
And the service,

Worldwide Elite,

how long did you work for them?

Two years.
And what else did you do there?

What do you mean?
I mean, what else
did you do there?

For a year, I was an escort.

Didn't you think that might be
important to tell us?

I haven't gone on a call
in a year.

I was in
an abusive relationship.

I needed the money

to move out.

When I moved, I stopped working.

But still stripped.

ALICIA:
So what's your point--

a call girl
can't get raped?

Yeah, that's my point,
thanks.

Look, she lied to us.
Why believe her now?

'Cause she walked away from
half a million dollars.

And when did she
ever lie to us?

You know, the more you bond
with these clients,

the less helpful you are.

Your stripper was hooking.

Why is she my stripper
when she does something bad?

(chuckles)

Okay, so the point is
to prepare for trial

so we don't actually
have to go to trial.

Cary, right?

Yes, sir.

Nice suit.
I got a job for you.

I need you to take

Alicia's Sheffrin-Marks
depos for the week.

All right, I'm on it.

This is settlement poker.

No one wants
to go to trial,

but the person who plays
the better hand

makes the better deal.

So get me some good cards.

WOMAN:
So your first thought is

to come to
the State Attorney's office?

KALINDA:
I just need one thing.

And why do
I help you, again?

Because you like me.
(laughs)

That still works
with people?

Mm-hmm, like a charm.

You never should
have quit this place.

I didn't quit.
I was fired.

Come on.

You ran a solid rape
investigation.

You should be
dying to slip us

the witness interviews.

Leah,

could you come outside
for a second?

And you're telling me
your husband

had nothing
to do with this?

Mr. Childs, my law
firm is bringing on

a civil action,
that's all.

Designed to embarrass
my office

and make it look like I don't
care about a rape victim.

A happy coincidence?

I understand the need
to blame someone

for your husband's downfall,

but I didn't release
that sex tape

to hurt you
or your family.

I have kids, too.

And you should know
I was holding back.

I had more to release
about your husband,

a lot more.

Disturbing things,

but out of compassion,
I held back.

Mr. Childs, if you have
something to show me,

just do it, okay?

'Cause the one thing
I don't have time for

these days is empty threats.

You want something

on your stripper?
Get a subpoena.

I liked Christy.

She was one of
my best dancers.

But I have nothing
else to add.

I'm sorry.

We just need
contact information.

That's all, Ms. Avarski,

for the driver
and the stripper.

Dancer.

Look, I would love...

Because we'd really hate

to subpoena your books
and client records.

You're East Indian?

Yeah.

Hmm, it's very popular

these days.

Contact information?

Follow me.

Why A-B-C?

$1,500 an hour,

$2,100 and, uh,

$3,100.

What makes someone
more expensive?

Is this about the rape?

No.

Regular clients

and special requests.

Requests?

No condoms

or being dominated
or role-playing.

Whatever they
can't get at home.

People would really pay
$3,000 an hour?

The day rate is

$31,000, dawn to dawn.

So about this rape, can you get
me contact information

on this dancer?

Maura?
She quit right afterwards.

Left a fake number,

fake address,
fake social.

Happens all the time.

What about the driver?
Could you help me find him?

ZACH:
So, Mom, where are you, anyway?

Look, I have to work late
tonight.

Can you ask Grandma if she can
stay till 10:00?

Sure.

Grandma,
can you stay till 10:00?

Mom's working late.

No need to shout, dear.

If she has to,
she has to.

Grandma can stay.

So, Mom, I was talking
to Grandma,

and she said she visited Dad

this weekend, and he was saying

how much he missed us.

(hip-hop blaring)
Grandma said that?

I was thinking maybe
we should be going there.

You know, visiting him?

Your dad didn't want you
to see him like that in prison.

He was...

He didn't want you to worry.

But let me ask him-- maybe
he's changed his mind, okay?

Right.

(doorbell rings)

We'll talk about it
when I get home tonight, okay?

All right, see you tonight.

JACKIE: I trust you're
doing your homework.

(hip-hop plays)

Five minutes.

We understand you can
corroborate Christy's story.

Which was?

That she told you about the rape
right after it happened.

Look, I like Christy,
she's a good tipper,

but when she drinks,
she doesn't know what the hell

she's talking about.

But you do?

Christy gave the guy
a lap dance,

he paid her, we went home.

Nobody said anything
about any rape.

I don't blame
Christy for trying

to get extra money
out of McKeon,

but, hey, she's lying.

Is that Dad?

I don't know.

But you're thinking it, too.

JACKIE:
Gonna need your help
in a minute.

Dad told us he made mistakes.

Yeah, but not that.

Do we tell Mom?

They sent them to Mom

to hurt her.

So I say no.

So?

I don't know.

Do they want
to see me?

Oh, Zach does,
but Grace doesn't?

She's hurt.

She thought
you were everything.

So two months in,
you seem well.

I am. Some
good guys here.

There's probably
less backstabbing

than the state
attorney's office.

You look good.

It's like it
agrees with you.

So, here's the thing
about Childs.

Everything he does is a
political calculation.

Everything he says...
Peter, no.

I don't want to be used.

Alicia, I know you
don't believe me,

but Childs set me up.

And if what I give you
can help a rape victim,

what's wrong with that?

How do you know
she's a rape victim, Peter?

I didn't tell your mom.

Daniel told me.

Your appellate lawyer?

He's the one who
referred Christy to you.

What's wrong?

I'm hard-pressed
to think what's not wrong.

So he what...?

Well...

I mentioned
to Daniel

that you were
with Stern, Lockhart,

and that if he didn't have time
for Christy's case

that maybe you would.

I thought you'd want the work.

You thought it was a good idea

to send me a hooker
to represent?

No, I thought it was a good idea
to send you a rape victim.

Oh, my God.

You had sex with her.

What?

You're using her first name,
Peter.

You're saying "Christy."

She's one of your whores.

Oh, Alicia,
would you stop it?

When are you gonna
stop thinking that I
slept with everyone?

When are you gonna forgive
me, for God's sake?

How much did you spend on Amber?

You had sex with her, what,

ten times, 20 times?

You don't want to know
the details of what I did.

If you want me to forgive you,

I need to know
what I'm forgiving you for.

So at $3,000 a pop,
that's, what, $60,000?

Did you pay her not to use
a condom? Was that extra?

(mutters)

Your trip to Houston,
did you take her with you?

You know I didn't.

I don't know what I know.

(voice breaking): Grace's 12th
birthday party, you s...

you said you had to leave early.

Where did you go, Peter?

You answer those questions,
and then we will talk

about forgiveness.

This is a pretrial hearing,

so don't worry about
the driver yet.

We just need to win
a few motions.

Sorry!

Don't worry about it.

It all comes down
to the rape kit.

KALINDA:
Still no luck finding
the other stripper.

All we have
is a first name, "Maura,"

and a general
description.

We need to box McKeon in.

There's only one of two ways

his semen ends up
in that rape kit:

consensual sex or rape.

We get him to swear there
was no consensual sex.

Why would he do that?

'Cause he has a wife.

There you are.

How you doing?

You nervous?

No, but maybe
I should be.

WILL: This is just a
pretrial hearing.

State's attorney's trying
to squash our subpoena,

so today we just get
the ground rules

straight, in case this
thing goes to trial.

Kalinda, I need you
to get upstairs, get in

the State's Attorney's office
and wait for the subpoena.

I'll do that.

What? You don't have to.

I know.
I'll be back.

You all right?

Yeah, sure, I'm fine.

Oh, my God,
this is too good.

We got Judge Abernathy.

He's our newest judge.
He's so liberal,

he makes Michael Moore
look like Rush Limbaugh.

Justice may be blind,
but judges sure aren't.

God, Ericcson must be
pulling his hair out.

BAILIFF:
All rise for Judge Abernathy.

Oh, please, don't stand.

Everybody sit back down, please.

We've got the big room here,
don't we?

Your Honor, given the stature
of my client, Mr. McKeon,

and given the fact
that this pretrial

hearing has already
garnered the attention

of our friends in the press,

we would ask the court to
seal the pretrial filings

and avoid a show trial.

Oh, Mr. Ericcson, I don't think
we need to do all that.

Do we? First Amendment
issues and all?

I deny the petition with regret.

Mr. Gardner?

Yes, Your Honor.

We have a lot of testimony

focusing on whether
there was a consensual act

between Mr. McKeon

and my client,
but if Mr. McKeon

is willing to stipulate

there was, indeed, a
consensual sexual act,

we would forego
this testimony.

That's a good point. Mr.
Ericcson, how do you respond?

We will stipulate there
was no sex of any kind,

forced or consensual,
Your Honor.

The plaintiff also requests an
expedited trial date,

Your Honor,
a DNA sample from Mr. McKeon,

DNA results from the rape kit,
and the investigative reports

from the State's
Attorney's office.

They have been...
reluctant to furnish them.

Thank you, counselor.
I will grant all four motions.

Mr., uh... Ericcson?

Ah. I interpret from
Mr. Ericcson's, uh, gesture

that he acquiesces.

Well, I'll see
you all back here...

Let's see. My docket is clear.

Five days?

How's that for expedited?

Uh, as a side note, I would like
to ask for a moment of silence

for the recent mass killings
in Darfur.

Okay, thank you.

Court adjourned.

That was a great start, huh?

I understand you're having
trouble with the driver.

And you're boxed in
on the rape kit.

You should just
settle on our terms.

ERICCSON:
Yeah, right. See you in trial.

May 15, four months ago.

This one seemed cool.

Hey. So you know Will?

12 clients, stockbroker types.

Mr. Gardner.
You two went to school together?

That's what they were saying
the other night at drinks.

Yeah.

So that's why?

Cary, if you don't mind, I've
had only a week with this.

You got an expedited trial date

to force the other
side to settle,

and now you guys are
the ones suffering.

What are you looking for?

"TZK Industries."

I... I've seen it somewhere
before.

What is TZK Industries?

"TZK Industries."

It's a furniture
supply company.

"Supplying elegant furniture

to home and business."
Why? What do you need?

Something to undercut
Christy's driver.

Okay.

Oh.

It can't be that easy, can it?

What?

So I find this
odd, Mr. Grant.

You were there, and you say
there was no rape?

So either you're lying

or my client's lying.

All I know is what I saw.

Your Honor, request permission
to approach the witness.

Yes. Please. Approach.

Mr. Grant, this is a copy
of your wife's W-2.

Could you read the name
of your wife's employer, please?

"TZK Industries."

WILL:
And TZK Industries
is a company owned

by the McKeon family
to supply furniture

to their properties.
Objection. Not in evidence.

Well, I think it's all right
for it to be asked,

Mr. Ericcson.

I... Actually, sustained.

Your Honor,
you sustained the objection?

I did. Mr. Ericcson had a point.

Isn't it an amazing coincidence,
Mr. Grant,

that after a year
of unemployment,

your wife got a job in June from
the McKeon family,

a month after the
bachelor party incident?
No.

And why is that, Mr. Grant?

Because my wife and I
are divorced.

My wife and I have been
separated for a year now,

so her getting this job
has nothing to do with me.

But, sir, wouldn't you benefit

even if only in the form
of lowered spousal support?

I guess, but I'm
not Warren Buffett.

(sparse chuckling)

No further questions,
Your Honor.

I'm sorry. I
didn't see it.

Don't ever let your first chair
get undercut like that again.

Good news?

I just got
the rape kit results.

State's Attorney
wasn't stonewalling.

They sent it out to a commercial
lab and just got it back.

And?

It's not McKeon's DNA.

The rape kit came back.
It's not his sperm.

It's not
McKeon's DNA.

Grant says you're lying.
McKeon says you're lying.

I'm not lying. I...

It's really not his sperm?

Christy, we need
to get the full--

Who else did you have
sex with that night?
No one. I swear.

Well, you obviously
had sex with someone

because it isn't his sperm.

So, was it a boyfriend
or another client?

You need to find Maura.

We can't find Maura.

You really don't
remember anything

that could help us find her?

We didn't talk.

She was on her cell phone

the whole night till
her battery ran out.

I'm sorry.

I need to get to class.

Not that I mind it, but
since when did you become me?

You didn't believe her.
I did.

Maybe she is
telling the truth.

Christy said the
light was flicked out,

so maybe McKeon
was with a friend.

So let's see if the cops
tested the other party-goers.

Worth a try.

It's not just that.

What's up with your bud,
Abernathy?

He's going out of his way
to kill us.

You know how this works.
Liberal judge gets on the bench,

doesn't want to
rule from his bias,

so he bends over
backwards the other way.

I thought you said you
had some pull with him.

He wanted to be on your
Glass Ceiling committee

or whatever it is.
"Emily's List."

Are you suggesting I
influence a sitting judge

in some untoward fashion?

No, just in a toward one.

Come on, come to the
court, let him see

your sad little
liberal face...
(laughing)

and contemplate a life
without his friends.

Will, I'm so sorry.

Don't be.
We're a team.

No apologies.

Hey.

Now what are you doing?
Close the door.

Come on, Zach.
Just let it go.

Would you shut up
and look at this?

See that?

It's called a
"specular highlight."

It's like a light in the eye
reflected in the eye.

See where it is?

It's to the left.

And now, look at this.

The lady's eye. See?

The dot's to the right.

Okay...

They're not in
the same picture.

Dad's face
was Photoshopped into it.

(door closes)

ALICIA:
Hello? Zach, Grace, I'm home.

Jackie, I have
a request to make.

Certainly, dear.

You want the kids to visit
Peter in prison, you talk to me.

You don't talk to Zach.

When did I talk to Zach?

You told him
Peter was lonely in prison.

Because he is.

Just don't go around me
by talking to my kids.

Hey, Mom.
Hey.

How was work?

It was crappy.

I thought I'd make breakfast.

(laughing):
For dinner?

My goodness.

Like when you were little.

You don't have to like it.
It's for me.

So, I want to show you some
pictures

of where Dad's staying.

What?

I want to make sure you know
what's involved

with visiting Dad
in prison, okay?

(ringing)

I'll get that.

So, Zach, can you show me how

to get to "Google Images"
on your computer?

Yeah, sure.

What is that?

Nothing. Homework.

GRACE:
Mom!

Someone's here!

Hi. Still no Maura?

KALINDA: DNA is definitely
not from McKeon's semen.

I was going to the crime lab to
see if they ever collected DNA

from the other
party-goers when...

You can watch a little TV.

I'll be right in.

Want to do this later?

No, no, no.

I think I just caught my son
checking out porn.

Anyway...

I asked a cop friend

to run the rape kit
results through CODIS.

And they got a hit.

Who, the best man?

Manny Lyons. A rapist serving
20 to life in an Ohio supermax.

I don't understand.

You're in good company.

And he's a convicted rapist.

Christy was raped.

Apparently.

I don't get it.

Was he...

Was he at the party?

Well, as far as I can tell,
he was in a holding cell

in Columbus at the time.

This makes no sense.

We know.

This pile is everything
on the Manny Lyons rape.

This pile,
everything on ours.

And we can't find
one thing in common.

No connection with McKeon?

Nope, we checked it.

"Manny Lyons broke into
an Upper Arlington apartment,

"held a knife to the neck of a
40-year-old divorcee,

"raped her, and stole her car.

"He was stopped running
a traffic light ten miles away.

The divorcee identified him
in a six-pack photo line-up."

What?

They do have one thing
in common.

And you were the lab supervisor
who worked on analysis 5795--

the rape kit in this case--
Professor?

Doctor.
Doctor.

And these are your
initials, "GG,"

right at the bottom
of the report?

Yes, those are mine.

Oh, uh, excuse me.

This isn't 5795.
This is 5794.

The Manny Lyons
case. My mistake.

Oh, I see that you ran the
analysis on both cases.

Given the sequential numbering,

I imagine that you worked on
one right after the other?

It appears so.

In both cases, the DNA
matched the same culprit,

Manny Lyons, is that correct?

It is.

So let...

Let me follow
the logic here.

Manny Lyons...

who never set foot in Chicago...

Objection.
Not in evidence.

I will sustain that.

Isn't it true, Dr. Girtzman,

the only connection between
Manny Lyons and Christy Barbosa

is that you
worked on both cases?

Objection. Argumentative.

Mrs. Florrick, this is not
a debating society.

Sustained.

Dr. Girtzman,

would you say

that the standard of a
commercial lab is relaxed?

No. And, uh, Your Honor,

may I answer

her earlier question?

Personal privilege.
Oh, yeah, if you'd like.

We handle an immense backlog
of untested rape kits

from crime labs
all across the country.

We do so with speed
and professionalism...

And yet isn't it true, sir,

that your lab almost lost

its accreditation in 2005...

Now, that was never proved!
...when it cross-
contaminated

two DNA samples
that were out-sourced

from a crime lab...
This is an old slander!

...that you failed to
sterilize scissors

that then carried the DNA
from one sample to the next?

I don't have to answer this.
Actually, you do, sir.

Your Honor, given
this testimony,

we move that the rape kit
be reexamined

at a second genetic lab.

ABERNATHY:
I think that is

an understandable request,
Mr. Ericcson.

Your Honor, we would stipulate

that Mrs. Florrick has
proven her case.

Dr. Girtzman cross-contaminated
the sample...

Excuse me?
But we would
argue, therefore,

that that is the very reason
it cannot be tested again.

You've got to be kidding me.

The very fact that it is
agreed that the sample

is now contaminated means it
can't possibly

be tested with any authority.

Your Honor...

Mr. Gardner, you argued that
the rape kit was contaminated.

You can't now

argue it's probative.

The plaintiff's motion
for retesting is denied.

Your Honor...!
Motion is denied.

We've got to find
that other stripper.

So basically this is

a Hail Mary pass?

Look at you with
the sports metaphors.

Yeah, I don't see many
other options here.

Good evening.

Do you have a reservation?

Actually, we have
a... strange request.

We need to get a printout
of a phone bill

from four months ago.

The name?

McKeon.

First name?

Lloyd.

Would you liked that e-mailed
or a hard copy?

Hard copy.

If I could just see some I.D.,
Mr. McKeon.

Um, well, actually can
I ask you a question--

Rosemary?

There was a bachelor
party here

in May that resulted
in a... a rape.

Were you here then?

I was.

Well, the only person we believe
who can corroborate

the rape victim's story was
using a cell phone that night.

And we're thinking she used
the bathroom phone

when her battery ran out.

We were hoping to glance
at the bill

just to see if there was
a number she dialed.

I'll have to speak
to a manager.

Nice thought.

If all else fails,
try honesty.

I got 20 bucks
on deception.

WOMAN:
Will?

Oh, hey.

What are you doing
north of the Loop?

You know, just seeing
how the other half lives.

Alicia,

this is Marlena.

Nice to meet you.

Hi.

Ask for a view
of the lake.

It's beautiful at night.

She thinks
we're getting a room.

Yep.

Now they all think
we're getting a room.

You worried?
You?

We could do worse.

(clearing throat)

I'm having trouble
getting my manager.

If you could just
wait another minute.

I owe you $20.

Okay, Christy and Maura
arrived at 10:15.

Right there, 11:20.

Out-of-state area code.

Hello. You don't know me...

Were you the other dancer
there that night, Maura?

I was, yes.

And your driver,
Mr. Grant,

what did he tell you after you
took Christy to the hospital?

He told us that the McKeons
were very rich,

and we should all keep
our mouths shut.

WILL: And that's why you went
back home to Michigan?

Yes.

I'm sorry. I was scared.

WILL:
And to reiterate,

Christy told you about the rape
immediately afterward?

Yes. In fact, he

followed her out
into the parking lot

and he said,
"Don't tell anyone.

Just take the money
and shut up."

No further questions,
Your Honor.

Thank you, Alicia.

For... you know.

Christy, I'm just curious.

Where did you meet my husband?

Your husband?

I've never met your husband.

My mistake.

BAILIFF:
All rise for
Judge Abernathy.

ABERNATHY:
Good afternoon.

I have given this case
quite a bit of thought,

as you can imagine.

You have both argued
your case well.

(sighs)

But I find myself judging
in favor of the defendant.

Without a DNA match

to the rape kit,
we have a classic

he-said, she-said;
and as much

as my personal sympathies lie
with the plaintiff,

the evidence does not
warrant a favorable decision.

Judgment in favor
of the defense.

Are you okay?

No.

I'm sorry.

I believe you.

(reporters clamoring)

This is all I want to say.

I have been falsely accused
by a woman

who wanted nothing more
than a quick payday.

But every year there are
thousands of women

who are abused,

and I don't think we should let
this false accusation...

Mr. McKeon.

You're under arrest for
the rape of Christy Barbosa.

Wha...?

Cuff him.
What?

Is this a joke?
(shouting)

(clamoring voices)

(clamoring continues)

(indistinct voices)

It must be hard
to lose, Mrs. Florrick.

Not if it forces
you to prosecute.

I'm coming out of this with
a criminal case I'll win,

and you're coming out
with a loss.

Nice job.

NEWSCASTER:
Lloyd McKeon was arrested
today for rape,

literally seconds after he was
cleared in a civil case

for the identical crime.

State's Attorney Glenn Childs
took credit for finding

an untainted sample of DNA

that will guarantee McKeon's
conviction in a criminal trial.

Childs denied that McKeon's
arrest was a reaction to...

This is yours?

Yeah.

Is he going to jail?

I think so.

Well, then that's good.

Thanks.

Good night.
Good night.

Oh, God, please...
