Previously on
The Good Wife:

And hour ago I resigned

as State's Attorney
of Cook County.

I want to be clear--
I have never abused my office.

At the same time,
I need to atone for

my personal failings
with my wife Alicia
and our two children.

Just wanted to say thank
you for the opportunity.

It's a real lifesaver.
No, glad you could
come aboard.

I'm Cary, the other
new associate.
Oh, right.

Kalinda Sharma.

I'm the in-house.
Oh, the investigator.

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

She's a junior associate
who doesn't think

she's a junior associate.

Her husband was
the States Attorney.

She lived
in Highland Park.

Dad told us he made mistakes.

Yeah, but not that.

Ryan thinks there's
a good chance

the appellate court's going
to listen to my case.

If they overturn it,
everything goes back to normal.

Peter, it's never
going back to normal.

Come on, guys, 15 minutes.

Grace, come on,
you got to eat.

And soccer tryouts are today.

Mom, I hate this school.

Why would I want
to play for it?

Grandma's going to pick you up
at the field around five-ish.

I can't find my cleats anyway.

And you're telling
me this now?

They're probably still packed.
(phone ringing)

You can at least try
and like it here.

Just try.

Hello.

AUTOMATED VOICE:
This is a collect call

from Tamms Correctional
Institution from...

(electronic tones)
PETER:
Peter Florrick.

AUTOMATED VOICE:
To decline this call
press one.

To accept this call
press two.

Hey, Peter.

Hi. Is this a good time?

Sure.
Are you all right?

Hanging in there.

The kids there?
Can I talk to them?

Actually Zach is in the shower

and Grace just sat down
to breakfast.

Oh.

(sighs)

I tried to call earlier.

It's been a long line.

So...

I guess we used to be
more comfortable

with each other's silences, huh?

I'm sorry, it's just
we're really running late.

Yeah.

I'll let you go.

Tell them I called, okay?

Okay, I will.
Bye.

Bye.

Found 'em.

We shouldn't have had to move.

WILL:
The first year
associate's primary job

is to clock billable hours.

And with most of
those numbers down

in each of your departments,

clearly some of you
aren't doing yours.

DIANE:
Now, that's not to say that
you're all underperforming.

One of our newest
associates clocked

225 hours last month alone.

But most of you
can do better.

So while this meeting
isn't about naming names,

it is about asking you
to step up.

And if you can't do that,
at least sign a few new clients.

(all chuckling)

Pardon
the interruption,

but someone's here
to see Mrs. Florrick.

I believe
it's her son.

I'm so sorry.
Please excuse me.

Kenny?

Kenny, is that--
is that you?

Mrs. Florrick.

It's been awhile, huh?

You're--

grown.

Are you parents with you?

What are you-- what
are you doing here?

I think I need a lawyer.

Last night,

me and this guy Brian

we went to my buddy's
house to get, uh...

We were just looking
to party, you know.

To get what?

Some dank.

Weed or whatever.

Anyway, right after
we got there,

this security guard
rolls up and, um...

And?

I kind of freaked.

So I ran.

This morning when
I went by Bri's house,

there were cops there.

I heard he got arrested.
What are you doing?

What is this?

I figure they're
after me next.

Look,

I'm not sure I understand
what happened,

but if you were buying pot...

We weren't.

Spencer was giving it to us.

The bottom line is,
if you broke the law

you need to go to the police.

Yeah, but-- I'd still need
a lawyer, right?

Don't move.

And get rid of that.

Kalinda.

Your kid's older than I thought.

Oh, he's not mine.

Listen, can I ask
you a favor?

Will you find out if there
was any police activity in
Highland Park last night?

And see if Kenny Chatham
is a person of interest

or if there are any warrants

out on him.
For?

Pot, possession,
possibly buying.

So if he's not a relative,

who is he?

I knew his mom.

Hi.

Can I talk to you
for a minute?

Everything okay
with your son?

Actually, it wasn't Zach.

He's a family friend
who got into some trouble.

Legal trouble, or my parents
don't understand me trouble?

I'm not quite sure yet.

I was hoping

if I could drive him home.

I know. I will make up the time.

Thanks.

So did you not go to school
today because of this?

I haven't been going.

Probably do the GED thing later.

What, you mean
you dropped out?

About six months ago.

You guys had already
moved by then.

I remember you being
way cooler than this.

Oh, I'm sorry to disappoint you.

And I don't get
why you can't help me

without getting them involved.

It's out of respect, Kenny.

You still live with them.

You and I owe them that much.

You don't owe them anything.

They blew you off.

That's who they are.

All right, you
ready to do this?

I was kind of hoping
you'd go in first.

You're lucky I remember
what a cute kid you were.

YOUNG KENNY:
Mom.

Mom, Mom.

Kenny honey, Mommy's busy.

I'm just saying,

somebody else has to start
hosting these things.

Oh, please, you
love doing this.

Maybe. But I couldn't do it

without you.

(doorbell ringing)

Hi, Lauren.

Hi.

What are you--

what are you doing?

You look... great.

You know, I've been meaning
to call...

I'm sorry to just
show up like this,

but I need to talk to you
about Kenny.

LAUREN:
Where is he?

My car.

Asked me to smooth the waters.

You didn't have to drive
all the way out here.

You could've called.

I could've.

But a boy I saw grow up
asked for my help.

And his mother used
to be a friend.

You need to come outside.

(phone ringing)

Hello?

He is wanted by the police.

What? Who?

Kenny. But not for buying pot.

Oh, my God!

Where are you taking him?

Ow! You're hurting me!

What's he being charged with?

Who the hell are you?

His attorney.

Felony murder.

CBS TELEVISION

ALICIA:
They're saying Kenny
did this?
KALINDA: Yep.

Along with Brian Keller.

The police allege that
these two broke into
a guest apartment

owned by the
Rankin family.
They broke in?

Nothing was
reported stolen,

but the police
have Kenny

and Brian's fingerprints
on a window

that was jammed open.

Kenny said he was at a friend's.

Yeah, that would be the Rankin's
17-year-old son, Spencer.

He lives above the garage,
but obviously wasn't home

at the time.

And because the guard

was killed in the commission
of an alleged burglary,

it's felony murder.

Yep. The police
theorize

that the boys encountered
a security guard

as they were leaving,
struggled with him,

then shoved him down
the stairs,

where he hit his head
on concrete.

He died at approximately
11:20 p.m.

according to the
medical examiner.

Kenny isn't capable
of doing this.

Well, how well
do you know him?
Very.

His mother was my first friend
in Highland Park.

Oh, yeah?

Well, and the first person
to stop talking to me.

You getting me out?

Not yet.

I just came by to see
how you're doing.

I didn't know anybody died,

I don't know how
anybody could have.

We probably shouldn't talk
in here.

Like, I told you, I ran home.

I yelled up at Brian to get out,

but he couldn't hear me,
he was still inside.

The police are saying...
I never even

saw the guard, just his car!

Then why did you lie to me,
Kenny?

Why didn't you tell me
you broke in?

Because we didn't.

Okay.

Look, there'll-there'll
be a bail hearing,

and a judge will decide

if you can be released
pending trial.

Talk to Spencer.

He's my friend.

He knew we were coming.

He said to take whatever
we needed,

he even told us
where the spare key was--

we just-- we couldn't find it
so we pushed a window open.

Mrs. Florrick,

I swear... I ran

home when I saw
the guard's car.

Okay.

WILL:
Not the strongest case.

DIANE:
But she's signing
a client.

And if his parents live
in Highland Park,

payment won't
be an issue.
I don't know.

When the connections are
personal, it can get tricky.

DIANE:
Blurring the line
between friendship

and business usually is.

Um, actually,

I don't have a relationship

with his parents anymore,
which is why

I would prefer someone else

be the attorney of record.
I don't understand.

If you're no longer friends,
why do this at all?

Because my relationship
with his parents

has nothing to do
with how I feel

about their son.

I used to baby-sit him.

I'll do all the briefs,
all the legwork.

I would just feel
more comfortable

if someone else tried the case.

So, you sign your
first client,

but you want
a second associate

to be the face of the case.

Give herself a bridge.
I get that.

Richard, I...

You want to explain to me
why the attorney I hired

for my son
just got turned away?

Didn't Lauren tell you?

I was there...
Terry Streiger.

And excuse me for saying
so, Mrs. Florrick,

but I think you're
in over your head.

Terry's been
a defense attorney

for more than 20 years.

He's a top-rated ABA member,

he's well-known
and well-respected.

So, thank you for your time,
but we'll take it from here.

Okay?

Your son asked me
to represent him.

Without our consent.

He doesn't need
your consent, he's 18.

And how do you think
he's going to pay for it?

I don't know.

We'll work something out.

And although I might
not be as seasoned

as Mr. Streiger is,
I can guarantee you

I care a lot more
about your son than he does.

Kenny will get the best defense.

...with my buddies
and I'm bombed.

And my ex-girlfriend,
I hadn't seen her...

What are you doing here?

Excuse me.

Diane said you needed
a first chair.

Kenny, this is
my associate, Cary Agos.

He's one of the best
attorneys with the firm.

He'll be helping me
with your defense.

Good to meet you.

This should be pretty simple.

We get you out on bail
and get you home.

BAILIFF:
Court is now in session.

The Honorable Earl Hovick
presiding.

Ms. Raines.
Your Honor,

due to the seriousness
of the charges,

the state opposes
bail at this time.

We believe the defendant

not only poses a flight risk
but a danger to the community.

Excuse me, Your Honor,
but based on what?

Mr. Chatham has no
criminal history,

close ties to the community,

in fact, his parents are
seated in the gallery here

to assure the court that
their son will appear for trial.

Begging your pardon, Your Honor,
but the State has secured

a cooperating witness,
co-defendant Brian Keller.

Who not only places Mr. Chatham

at the crime scene

but identifies him
as the attacker.

JUDGE HOVICK:
Then bail is denied.

Defendant is remanded
to custody.

(bangs gavel)
Next case.

You told me it was
gonna be simple.

Your friend Brian must've cut a
deal with the State's Attorney.

CARY:
The first one

who does is
usually the first one out.

Let's go.

I need to talk to you
guys about something.

That sounds serious.

It is, actually.

Is it about Dad?

Oh, no, no, no, no, he's fine.

I just would rather
you hear this from me.

Kenny Chatham got arrested.

For murder, right?

Yeah, and you're like
one of his lawyers.

That's what Janna told me.

Yeah, Shane IM'd me about it.

Everyone's totally freaked.

Uh, well, are there any
questions you'd like to ask me?

Or do you want to talk
about any of it at all?

Not really.

Been hearing about it
all night as it is.

Yeah, it's really all

anybody back there
is taking about.

I'm sure.

And it must be pretty
upsetting to you guys, too.

Mom, we only ever
saw Kenny 'cause he was

your friend's son.

We have our own friends
back in Highland Park.

At least on Facebook.

Since we're not allowed
to go back.

That's not true.

I'm done.
Can I be excused?

I guess.
Me, too.

By the way, I didn't
make the soccer team.

You're here early.

Ah, but not the first.

That's what happens

when you're single
and childless.

(chuckling)
I was going to
leave you a note.

I wanted to see how
things were going

with him as first chair.

Well, he's certainly confident.

(chuckles)

Look, this is your case.

Diane assumed,

rightly so, that you were just
looking for a front man

to provide a little cushion

since you're dealing
with friends.
Former.

Sounds complicated.
It is.

Legally or emotionally?

Both.

We didn't get bail because
Brian cut a deal with the S.A.

He got immunity
on felony murder

by taking a lesser
charge of burglary

and agreeing to testify
against Kenny.

So what we need to do is...

Establish there was
no burglary.

KALINDA:
So, I'll dig up what I can
on this Brian character.

Yeah, and we'll question

Spencer Rankin,
hopefully get him to agree

to testify for
the defense, right?

Right.

These kids go to
a fancy campus.

GRACE:
Mom, I don't like it.

Grace, this is the best
school in the county.

You just give it some time.

I think you're gonna
love it here.

(car horn honking)

Reminds me of my
old high school.

Reminds me of the schools

I used to vandalize.

Spencer?

My name is Mrs. Florrick.

We'd like to talk to you about
what happened at your apartment.

You guys are cops?

No, we're just trying
to help your friends.

Hey, hey, hey, don't let
Mom make you nervous.

What's up, man?
I'm Cary. How you doing?

Look, that's a pretty
sweet situation you got

by your folks' garage, dude.

That's kind of like having
your own place, huh?

I don't know anything
about what happened.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
no, no, no, it's cool.

I get it, I guess, I don't
I guess I'm just envious.

'Cause I keep thinking
about what I would've done

if I'd had a place like that.

You know, hell, what I would do
now if I had a place like that.

I mean, I'm sure
you and Kenny had some

seriously sick times
up there, right?

I guess.
Yeah.

They're not gonna happen anymore
though, are they? You know why?

Because the cops are saying
Kenny broke into your place.

And you know why
they're saying that?

Because they don't get how good
of a friend you are to him.

They don't get what
you and he share.

They don't get you told him
it was okay to help himself

to your weed that night.

Yeah, and because of that

the Ken-ster's facing
life in prison.

So, what do you
need me to do?

We tell the S.A. we got a
witness corroborating permission

and we cut Kenny's
jail time by 10 years.

He shouldn't have
to do any jail time.

Without the burglary charge,
he can't be held accountable

for what happened after
he left a crime scene.

You're assuming a jury won't
believe Brian's version more.

Kenny has no alibi.

His parents were asleep
when he got home.

Okay, so this Brian,
he's got a temper.

Then we need to find a witness

who can place him
at or near his home.

And if there aren't any?
It's too risky.

Guidance counselor says

he's been suspended
twice for fighting.

Kenny, however, was always
seen as a sweet kid

till he started hanging
out with Brian, that is.

Pretty toxic friendship.

Don't you think
we should at least

investigate the situation?

(sighs)
Timeline's too mushy
for reasonable doubt.

If we go to court and he's
found guilty, it's 20 to life.

We should be fighting
for total exoneration.

He's innocent.

But can we prove it?

ZACH:
Bet the bus is already here.

Yeah, well, maybe if you
didn't hog the shower...

Just keep moving, guys.

Mrs. Chatham?

Oh, my God, look
at both of you.

Hey.

Hey.

Okay, guys, come on,
let's get going.

Did you want to come in?

I heard you'd moved.

Wasn't easy tracking down
an address.

It's a nice apartment.

Lauren.
I just...

I want to know what's
happening with the case.

Right now, we're looking for
someone who can place Kenny

at or near your house
the night of the murder.

To prove he couldn't
have done it.

I talked to Richard.

We'll pay Kenny's legal fees.

Wasn't easy getting him
to budge.

I'm sure you remember how
controlling he can be.

How are things between you?

The same.

RICHARD:
I go to get a drink, right,
by the time I get back,

Alicia has the governor
literally backed into a corner,

nailing him on his lack of
support for the arts.

I was just asking him
to explain his position.

(Richard and Alicia laughing)

(crying)

(sobbing)

There she is.

What's a nice girl like you
doing at a place

like the State's Attorney's
office anyway?

Best place to practice law.

Oh, I don't know about that.

Life at a private
firm has its perks.

I became an ASA because
I like duking it out

in court, not over lunch.

Oh, that's too bad,
because that's what
I was about to suggest.

Talked to my bosses.

We're on board with a plea
bargain in the Chatham case.

Really?
Yeah.

So, Thai, Italian or should
we just grab a couple steaks?

KALINDA:
Where's Cary?

Shouldn't he be out here
canvassing as well?

Well, he said he had
to do something else.

There's plenty of
street lighting.

Clear shot from the house
across the street.

Maybe the one on the right, too.

In this neighborhood,
Kenny running home

after 11:00 would have
definitely been noticed.

Think they've got enough
manicured lawns here?

Grass can't be more
than two inches tall.

Neighborhood association
wields a mighty sword.

Pretty.

Doesn't seem like a good fit
though-- you living here.

Was it?

I did it for 10 years,
I liked it at the time.

Ignorance is bliss, I guess.

Let's see what Kenny's
neighbors have to say?

(doorbell ringing)

WOMAN:
Everyone's pretty shaken up.

I mean, this sort of thing
just doesn't happen around here.

Scandal maybe,
but murder?

Were you on duty

when it happened?
You tell me.

I work second shift,
2:00 to 11:00 PM.

Not that I ever
get out on time.

My relief's always late.

What time did you leave exactly?

Don't know off the top
of my head,

but I could check my time card.

Got a copy of it somewhere.

And, Shelly,
when you were leaving,

do you remember seeing anyone
on the street?

Anyone running?

Not really.

I mean I think I saw someone
go inside across the way.

You mean through the front door?

Yeah,

because they turned
the yard lights

off right after-- made it hard
to fill out my timecard.

And was this person male
or female?

Sorry, didn't get
that good a look.

Hello.

Your husband's
doing a fine job.

Don't mind her.

She has dementia.

Only remembers
the past.

Here it is.

11:25. That help?

You have no physical

evidence linking my client
to the victim.

No DNA, nothing.
Even so,

you can't prove he wasn't an
accomplice to the burglary.

And if someone dies
during the commission,

it's felony murder regardless
of who killed him.

Yeah, except your
witness, Brian,

made a deal-- by copping
to burglary,

he gets immunity
from felony murder charges,

which means he has
incentive to lie.

Fine.

Second-degree murder.

Four to 15?

Mm-hmm.

No, I don't think so.

We'll do involuntary
manslaughter.

Can I get some more,
uh, water, please.

Not going to happen.

Can I try a fry?

Yeah, help yourself.

Well, manslaughter,
since

burglary's not in play anymore.

What?

(chuckles)

Uh, did I forget to mention

that we can prove Kenny had
permission to enter?

Spencer Rankin's
willing to testify.

So, as I was saying...

A man's still dead.

I'll make a case to the judge

for a maximum sentence
of five years.

Make it two and we got a deal.

These rich kids really do
get away with murder.

The crime scene is about

half a mile west of here.

Security guard called
into operations

at 11:15

to say he was doing
a perimeter check.

He was dead by 11:20.

The prosecution
would argue

that Kenny still had time
to attack the guard

and get home on foot
by 11:25.

Is that even possible?

Run that distance
in five minutes?

Only one way
to find out.

The average teenage boy
sprinting would likely be

in the range of eight
to ten miles per hour.

How do you even know that?

Would you believe me

if I told you I was a track
coach in a previous life?

No.

Okay.

Okay, it's two minutes
and we're...

(car honking)

Ass!

Nice. Nice.

You oughta try it
sometime.

What, flipping
someone off?

It's good
for your soul.

(laughs)

ALICIA:
So, from Kenny's house
to Spencer's...

Just under five minutes.

It's pretty tight,

but the prosecution's right--

it's doable.

In other words, the
nurse's testimony

will only go
so far.
Yeah.

(camera shutter clicking)

Guess there's no chance the S.A.

will let us in
without permission.

I don't exactly have
a good relationship

with that department
anymore.

You come

within 100 feet of my son again,

and I swear, I'll sue you,

the Chathams,
and your entire firm.

Spencer's got

nothing to do with this
and how dare you

intimidate him into giving
false information.

There was never any permission
given to enter,

there was never any pot
and he is

never going to testify!

I had the plea in my hand.

And I had no idea you went
to the State's Attorney.

I told you what the plan was.

But I never agreed to it, Cary,

and we never
presented it...

I cleared it through Diane.

All right?

And now we've
got nothing.

No, we have an eyewitness

who'll testify that at 11:19

she saw...
A figure from a distance.

And the ASA

has an eyewitness who will
positively identify Kenny

as the killer.

We don't have a case.

And they don't have conclusive
physical evidence.

I gotta go.

I gotta prep
for court.

You realize Cary's never been
to trial before.

How is that even possible?

Easy.

By pleading out every court case
that comes your way.

JUDGE:
This is a pre-trial hearing.

Which is another way of saying

both sides should come
to an agreement

before we go any farther.

I guess my parents
aren't coming.

But since you haven't yet--

be advised there is no jury
in this proceeding,

there's just me.

And my determination

as to whether or not there's
enough probable cause

to hold this defendant
for a long, expensive trial.

They're probably
on their way.

And because this is
all about me,

I get to ask questions, too.

Particularly
if our esteemed attorneys

don't ask the right ones.

Ms. Raines, you're up.

At 11:24 p.m.,

Brian was pulled
over for speeding,

approximately four blocks
from the Rankin house.

And Officer Diaz,
did Brian give any statement

at that time?
Yes, he did.

He immediately confessed
to having fled

the scene of a burglary
on Belson Street.

So, in effect,

he placed himself
at the crime scene.

Yes,

and was arrested at that time.

In your experience,
do spontaneous

confessions such as this
tend to be accurate?

DIAZ:
Typically, the perpetrator
won't have had enough time

to concoct a story,
so, yes.

They usually are.

Nothing further.

Mr. Agos...

Officer Diaz.

Sorry, I need to refer
back to my notes.

(sighs)

Yeah, yeah, I
know, I know.

I know.

Sometime before I go gray,
Counsel.

Officer Diaz,

when Mr. Keller had

this "spontaneous utterance",

did he mention that anyone
had been killed?

Not until after we got
to the station, no.

So, when Brian
told you that

Kenny Chatham was responsible
for the victim's death,

he had had

time to concoct
a story.

Objection.
Sustained.

If for no other reason than
the use of pluperfect tense.

Nothing further.

It gets easier as you go.

My interests have never
been in litigation.

Prosecution calls Brian Keller.

Brian, tell us what
happened that night.

Kenny wanted to get high

and he said he knew where
he could get some weed.

He never said anything
about breaking in, though,

which is why
I was surprised

when he asked me to help
jam the window open.

I mean,
I did it, but...

I was kinda freaked out
afterward.

So I went downstairs.

And did what?

To wait for him

so we could get the
heck out of there.

But then I saw
the security guard.

Did he see you?

No, I hid behind a bush.

Right in there.

I know this is difficult,
but could you

tell the judge
what you saw?

I can't believe
he could lie like this.

People do it all the time.

Um... I saw
the guard go up the stairs.

Here?

Yeah and I guess he kinda
surprised Kenny because

they kinda got into it,

and Kenny sorta
shoved him,

and the guard fell
backwards.

And he just...

just stopped moving.

Then Kenny just
took off.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Just manicured lawns.

So from where you
were standing,

you had a clear view
of the crime.

Yes.

No further questions.

That's plenty for today.

Court's adjourned
till 9:00 tomorrow.

(pounds gavel)

Heads up.

You guys want to go
for a ride?

Where to?

I don't know.
See some old friends?

Hey, um, I gotta go.

I'll talk to you
later, okay?
Mom? Highland park?

Didn't think anyone
was still here.

Just prepping for court.

By reading
case law, huh?

You're better off

watching experienced
trial lawyers.

Yeah, well, new kid
on the block.

I don't get much opportunity
to shadow seniors.

(chuckles)

Though I have learned a lot
by watching Alicia.

She's definitely got
some serious skills.

We suspect
it's a Georgetown thing.

No doubt.

No doubt.

(chuckling)

Yeah, that's a long time
to stay friends

since college and all.

So, it's really
commendable--

you championing her
the way that you do.

Yeah, know what's great
about someone like Alicia?

She's a natural.

She doesn't have to try so hard.

Have a good night.

Would you like a drink?

No, thanks.

Where are your kids?

I dropped them at
their friends'.

They really
miss it here.

How bad?

I noticed

you two weren't
in court today.

I came by to give
you an update.

Lauren couldn't handle it.

She's not like you.

She's not that strong.

She's asleep now.

Took a Valium.

Well, it must
be hard on her--

on both of you--

to see your
son like that.

But it's really important that
at least one of you be there.

So, how did it go?

To be honest, not great.

They have Kenny's

fingerprints at the scene,

and someone who will testify
that he pushed the guard.

You think he's guilty?

No.

Do you?

I don't know who he is anymore.

ALICIA:
Did you have a good time?

Yeah, except I forgot how much
of a whiner Janna was.

I didn't.

Like your friends aren't geeks.

Can we go home now?

I just have
one more stop.

Tell me you're not taking us
to the crime scene.

Seriously?

(laughing):
Awesome.

Looks like
no one's home.

Stay here.

(sprinklers whirring)

Oh, my God.
What happened?

I ran into the
neighborhood association.

(laughs)

(engine starting)

CARY:
If you don't mind, I'd like

to review the sequence of events
on the night in question.

(clears throat)

You testified

that while Kenny was upstairs,
you waited down

below, is
that correct?

That's right.

And how long
were you there

before the security
guard arrived?

I don't know.

A few minutes?

According to

patrol records,

he called in
a perimeter check at 11:15.

Do you know what time it
was when you saw the guard?

BRIAN:
A few minutes
after that, I guess?

So, 11:18?

And how long were you there

after you
saw the guard?

Couple minutes.

Which puts us at 11:20.

Your Honor, all this has been

established in a
prior testimony.

Right, right. My mistake.

Brian,

do you know exactly
what time the defendant

attacked the guard?

Like you just said,
11:20 or so.

And you left
the Rankin house when?

It's already been
stated that he was
arrested at 11:24.

CARY:
So, it was just

four minutes between the time
of the killing

and the time of your arrest?

Yes.

Now that you've dazzled us

with your math skills, Mr. Agos,

can we please move on?

Were you wet?

What do you mean?

The police report
made no mention

of your being wet at the time
of your arrest.

But were you?

Objection. What does the weather
have to do with this?

ALICIA:
Your Honor, I'd
like to introduce

the bylaws of the Highland Park

Neighborhood
Association

into evidence.

Specifically,
page four, paragraph two

regarding the watering
of lawns,

which is only
allowed at night

in an effort to save water.
Your Honor!

ALICIA:
For the record,
the Rankins

were in full obeyance
with said bylaws.

Their automatic
sprinkler system

is set to go off every night

at 11:15

and run for 15 minutes.

If you had been where
you said you were,

you would have gotten soaked.

The truth is,

you weren't standing
behind the bush.

You were standing
over the guard.

Objection!

Nothing further.

That you would pursue a charge
of this magnitude

without a thorough investigation

is unconscionable.
Your Honor...

No direct
or circumstantial

evidence linking the
defendant to the murder, no

eyewitness testimony other than
that of a co-defendant who has

a vested interest in the
outcome of the trial.

Your Honor,
if you...
Ms. Raines,

I strongly suggest

you find a way to work
with the defense counsel

to find a more
equitable solution.

There's a place around the
corner, serves deep dish

by the slice.
I'm gonna get some.

By my count,
you got about 20 minutes.

Breaking and entering,

plus possession
of marijuana.

Trespassing and possession.

Are you kidding me?

Look,

you're all but guaranteed
of a manslaughter

conviction against Brian.
If you can't

spin that into a win
with the brass,

you're in the wrong line
of work.

Thank you.

You're quite
the skilled negotiator.

Hey, you did all
the heavy lifting.

Seriously. Well done,
Alicia. Well done.

Thanks, Cary.

No jail time.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

That's great news. Thank
you. I appreciate it.

Oh, our pleasure.

Kenny just has to perform 1,000
hours of community service.

ALICIA:
And participate in

mandatory drug
counseling.

I'll make sure of it.

So... I can take you
to the court clerk,

see about getting Kenny's
personal effects back,

if you like.

Sure.

Now that this is
over, we should...

I don't know,
maybe have lunch.

Pretend none of
this ever happened.

I'll call you, okay?

You're not going to call.

And we're not going
to have lunch.

And that's okay.

It really is.

Take care.

First plea bargain,
a gin martini.

It's another
Stern, Lockhart tradition.

Thanks, but I think I just
want to go home tonight.

I knew I wasn't the only one
burning the midnight oil.

Cary.

How are you?

Fine. Thanks for asking.

Working on
Sheffrin-Marks?

We win this one, our firm's
in a whole new league.

What's your excuse?

Sorry?

For burning the midnight oil.

Oh. Same as yours.

Just going over the Landers
depo docs for Sheffrin.

Billable hours.

Anyway, I just wanted
to update you on the outcome

of the
Chatham case.
Mm.

Turns out, I was able
to push the S.A.

into a very favorable
plea bargain.

Excellent.

Okay, well...

you have a good night.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks.

I intend to.

(TV plays quietly
in the background)

Oh. Oh.

Oh.

Uh-oh.

(laughs)

Is that your idea
of a notch under your belt?

(laughs)
Huh?

You think the
kids heard us?

Kids?

Maybe you.

Oh, funny.

(sighs)

Not too bad for an old
married couple, huh?

Uh-uh.

Huh?

(laughs)

I love you.

I love you, too.

(phone ringing)

Don't.

Might be work.

(sighs)

(sighs)

Peter Florrick.

Yeah.

Okay.

Hold on a second.

Um...
Mm-hmm?

It's an office emergency.

Be one minute.

One minute.
Okay.

MAN (on TV):
Next up on news at 11:00--

a Highland Park teen is charged
with manslaughter

in the killing of...

Hey. It's after 10:00.

What are you doing up so late
on a school night?

Just looking out at the view.

It's nice, isn't it?

It's a cool room.

Smaller than my old one, though.

You know what I was
thinking about today?

How much you hated
your old school

when you first
started there.

Yeah, I kind of did.

Today, I'm sort of
glad we moved.

Me, too.
