[shredder whirring]

Happy now?

Are you talking to me?If you didn't like Maia,
you could've

just come out and said that.This isn't about disliking her.

We've all been told

that there is a zero-tolerance
policy on drugs.

Maia didn't use drugs.However,

she's been arrested twice,
but because she's white...

Oh, my God,
this isn't about race.

In this case, it absolutely is.[clamoring]

You had it out for her
ever since she first got here.

I don't think you understand...But if it was any one of us...

That is insane.[clamoring continues]

I would've been
thrown out of here

because of a zero-
tolerance policy.

That's exactly
what it is.

This isn't something that
is just gonna fade away.

The associates are angry.

Yes, and Marissa is
stirring the pot,

downstairs, right now.

She's only stirring the
pot because she feels

that Maia was made
a sacrificial lamb...

Come on. Come on....to the fact

that the partners
don't want to pay

for true financial parity here.

It's not that we don't want
to pay for financial parity.

Well, then we need to...We don't have
the resources, Diane.

You think you handled this
by firing Maia,

but you only broadened
the argument.

Now, that I agree with.

There are a whole lot of
hurt feelings out there, Diane.

And now it's dividing,
along racial lines.

Hey, so should we talk
about money?

How much would

true financial parity
actually cost us?

ADRIAN:
What, you mean paying
all the first year the same,

the second year the same,
and third?
Yup.

Well, haven't run
the numbers yet, but, uh,

probably $800,000 more a year.ADRIAN:
You see, the problem there,

you raise the lowest
to the highest,

the highest will still want more
because they're bringing in

more billable hours.

Well, maybe we should consider
it a human resources issue.

What do you mean?Well, let's bring in
an organizational psychologist

and send the associates
through sensitivity training.

LIZ:
Ah, do those work?

We can interview a few,
maybe find out if...

Mr. Boseman?ADRIAN: Yeah.

There's a call
from Judge Dunaway's clerk.

He wants to know why
we're not in court.

LIZ:
Uh, I don't understand.

Why would we be in court?

He says there's a motion
in the Second Helix suit.

No. There's
nothing till June.

He says one of our associates
is in court arguing it.

Which associate?He didn't say.

DIANE:
Call the court.
Find out which associate.

Wait. Who else was
on the Second Helix case?

Oh, my God.LIZ: What?

The associate
that was on it is Maia.

Well, she would
never do that.

What? Snake us on a case?

Diane, she was very angry,
and she became

very friendly with that class.

Yeah, it's only our biggest
lawsuit-- $30 million.

Let's not get paranoid.
Maia would never do that.

Call her.

She's not returning my calls.

[birds squawking]

[horses neighing]

[ringtone playing]

[ringtone continues]

It's Diane.

Hi. We just got here.

And it's very cold.
You're welcome.

We have an emergency
regarding Second Helix.

We have been called into court

because one of our associates
requested a hearing.

What?

I thought Second Helix
wasn't until summer.

It wasn't. You were supervising
Maia on this?

I was.

Why?Could she still be
pursuing this?

I don't understand.
She's not with us anymore.

I know.

No, Diane, that's not Maia.

I didn't think so either,
but you haven't heard from her?

No.

Okay, we'll talk.

What was that about?

Maia.

Are they bringing
her back?

No. They think
she's out to sabotage them.

Oh, Jesus. It's like Lord
of the Fliesout there.

Do you think we fucked up?

What do you mean?

I mean... [sighs]

they sent us
all the way out here,

and they gave us a week off.

They think we're rabble-rousers.

Law firms all over Chicago
are sending poll watchers out.

Yes, but Boseman could have
sent anyone, and he picked us?

Are you the Democratic ones
from Chicago?
Yes.

We're the volunteers
from The Legal League...

These are your badges.
Wear them at all times.

These are your
Republican counterparts.

Okay, I'm gonna tell you
all once, and that's it.

You see a problem,

you bring it to me;
I decide what to do.

There is no appeal in here.

The judge is always right.

No talking to voters
or arguing politics

within 100 feet
of the polling location.

I've drawn a line
out on the walkway

where that 100 feet ends.

This is a special election, so
I know everybody's keyed up.

The last contest
in this precinct

was decided by seven votes,
seven measly votes,

so I know you're both
gonna be working

to undercut each
other's voters.
Oh, no...

Uh, that's not why we're here.[overlapping chatter]

Yeah, save it.

I'm here to make sure
that every vote counts:

every Republican vote,
every Democratic vote.

And I'm not gonna let
any Chicago lawyers

get in the way of that.
Polls open in 20 minutes.

Any questions?
That was a joke.

I'm not here to
answer questions.

Just do your jobs,
and I'll do mine.

So now I can talk?Are we supposed
to hate each other?

Well, that's up to you.

But come to this side
of the line first.

So let's talk about
Black Lives Matter.

[laughs]:
Oh, this'll be fun.

JUDGE DUNAWAY:
And look who finally
decided to show up.

Three partners. Wow.

Jim, let's get
their cocounsel in here.

Yes, sir.Your Honor, good morning.

We apologize for being late,
Your Honor,

but we were unaware
we had a motion

this morning
or a cocounsel.

Again, Your Honor,

we're ready to go
whenever you want,

but we, on the, uh, defense are
feeling a bit outnumbered here.

Everybody says that, uh,

corporate interests
are the Goliaths,

but I think here, I'm the David.

Which you've mentioned
five times now, Mr. Andrews,

and we never grow tired of it.

[door opens]Ah.

Uh, Reddick/Boseman,
here's your cocounsel now.

Did you find my
bathroom, Mr. Blum?

ROLAND:
I did, Your Honor.
Thank you.

I hate using
public restrooms.

Ah, so my cocounsels
decided to show up.

How you all
doing? Slept in?

Your Honor, this man
is not our cocounsel.

He does not represent
our class.

Well, that would come as a
surprise to these 21 members

of the class who signed
retainer agreements with me.

JULIUS:
Your Honor,

we have been working on this
case for two and a half years.

We have gathered together
a class of 45 individuals

who were denied health
insurance by the actions

of the genetics
company Second Helix.

All true.

And Mr. Blum has

insinuated himself into this
case at the very last minute.

JUDGE DUNAWAY:
How did he do that?

I think I can shed
some light on that, Your Honor.

Three weeks ago, I found

Mr. Blum searching through
my desk, and the next day,

the contact information
to our class was missing.

I thought another
lawyer had borrowed it.

It wasn't until this moment

that I realize Mr. Blum took it.

Now, I would only hope that
when that slander proves false--

and false it will be proved--

Ms. Lockhart retracts it
with equal conviction.

Do you deny
breaking into my office

and going through
my desk drawers?

With every fiber
of my being!

And if you saw me going
through your desk,

why didn't you stop me?

I'll tell you why.
Because it's a lie.

JUDGE DUNAWAY:
Wait. I don't know how

Mr. Blum persuaded 21 members
of plaintiff class

to sign with him,
but... they have.

Accordingly, the
court recognizes

Roland Blum as cocounsel
with Reddick/Boseman.

[busy chatter]

GARY BLAINE:
So, people who call

Consult a Lawyer want real
legal advice from a real lawyer.

And that's where
you come in.

So, what was your name again?Maia.

So, I don't know what
your last work was like, Maia,

but here,
your main job is to get

as much information
from the client as possible.

All right? Here's your cubicle.

So, when a call is
directed to you,

we have the client's credit card
info. They pay by the minute.

The longer the call,
the better your commission.

Oh. Yeah, that chair
wobbles a bit.

I'll get you something
to put under there.

Your opening greeting
is posted on the screen.

Always follow it exactly.

You understand?I do.

And you see that mirror?

Check yourself on every call.

If there's no smile
on your face,

there's no smile
in your voice.

People like to hear the smile.

Oh, and there's coffee.

Uh, but it's on the honor
system-- 50 cents a cup.

[busy chatter continues]

[phones ringing]

Hi. I'm Sandra.

Maia.I've been top earner
for four months.

Want to know my secret?

Sure.If it's a guy,

tell him he has a nice voice.

Then laugh at his jokes,
even if it's not funny.

This one guy redid his will
12 times just to hear my...

[sultry voice]:
"Thank you for calling
Consult a Lawyer.

This is Sandra."

Sexy, right?Very.

Are you being sarcastic?No. No, never.

[phone ringing]

[clears throat]

[button clicks]

Thank you for calling
Consult a Lawyer.

This is Maia. Please tell me
a little about your issue,

and go slowly
so I can take notes.

[phone vibrating]

GORDON:
You act like
we're all robots.

You arerobots.
Trump says Russia is good,

and all Republicans
fall in lockstep.

And that's why you
guys lose elections.

'Cause you look
down on everyone.

Excuse me.

The midterms.
You'd call that a loss?

Two Senate seats
flipped Republican.

I'd hardly call that a win.

His T-shirt.

Let's challenge.

It's electioneering.It's a T-shirt.

GORDON: A T-shirt displaying
a political message.Sir?

Sir, could you

come over here, please?

That's not
electioneering.

Is marijuana
one of the candidates?

Referencing a Democratic
campaign slogan.

That wasn't a campaign slogan.

It wasn't even
from this election.JUDGE SIG: Wait. Enough!

Give me a second here.What's the problem?

Sir, you can't enter
this polling place to vote.

Come on!You are welcome

to return in
a content-neutral shirt later.

I have to head to work.I'm sorry.
Rules are rules.

You can come back later to vote
in a content-neutral shirt.

One vote could mean the
difference in this election.

What if he takes his shirt off?

Right. It's not electioneering
if he's not in his shirt.

You want him to vote
without a shirt?
Why not?
There's no law against it.

Yes, but it offends
the decorum of the inst...

Of what, this cafeteria?

Sir, if you prefer,
you can vote now,

but you'll have
to take off your shirt.

But you don't have to.Excuse me.
Let him decide for himself.

KIMBERLY:
It's chilly in here.
That's all we're saying.

LUCCA: No, it's not that cold.It's his decision.
Stop talking.

JAY: You're the one
not letting him decide.JUDGE SIG: Hold on. Hold on!

It's up to you, sir.

You can vote now
if you take off your shirt,

but you don't have to.

All right.

LUCCA:
Great choice, sir.

MAN:
I can go vote now?

Yes, sir.

Cool.

Congratulations.

Okay, that's offensive.

A swastika doesn't mean
a Republican voter, so...

JUDGE SIG:
All of you outside again. Go.

DIANE:
Are you sure, Joy?

Because we've been working
on your case for two years now.

Yeah, but faster isn't
necessarily good.[knock on door]

It's this desk here.

I want locks on
all of the drawers.

Listen, uh, Joy, this
is what I'm asking.

Just give us...

Joy?

Diane. Anything?

Yup.

21 of our class
signed with Blum.

He's promising them
results in 48 hours,

instead of the years
that we have taken.

He's on his way in here now.What?

Here?Mm-hmm. Yeah, my guess?

[drill whirring]He just wants
the five percent finder's fee,

and he'll just bow out.

The man hates to work.

DIANE:
Uh, Marissa,

do you know who Roland Blum is?

What's the matter?

You mean, besides the fact
my best friend was fired?

You know I had nothing
to do with that.I know she has

no money, and she's working
at Consult a Lawyer.All right.

I'm calling three top firms
who might be interested in her,

so she won't be stuck there.
Don't worry.

Now, can I ask
for your help?

Roland Blum-- he's coming here
in a few minutes.

I need you to stick with him
the entire time that he's here.

He has stolen from us before,
and he will try it again.Okay.

Don't worry.
We will take care of Marissa.

I'm Marissa.

Yes. We will take care of Maia.

I'm sorry. I'm distracted.ROLAND: Yeah,
what floor am I on?

There he is. Watch him.This is where I'm going?

I hate this fucking place.
Look at it.

ROLAND:
We attack now.

Shoot 'em in the face
while they're still smiling.

We're not ready.Yeah.

You haven't been ready
for two and a half years.

What are you waiting for?!

DIANE:
Evidence, witnesses.

We have a whistle-blower who's
the cornerstone of our case.

I guess you wouldn't
know about that,

having stolen your way
into this.

Oh, my God! Bullshit!

Bullshit! This is not
a fucking book report.

You're not entitled
to, uh, extra credit

because you made a graph.

I say we go to court now, today!

You don't win
a case in a day.

We're not trying
to win this case.

We're trying to scare the shit
out of the other side

so they settle. Hi.

Hello.

Am I boring you?No. Scintillating.

Their IPO is tomorrow.

Second Helix
want $850 million

on their initial
public offering.JULIUS: We know that.

So, why the fuck

are we in here
playing with ourselves?!

Hey, hey!

Give us a minute.

We'll discuss.

Guard?

If what you're threatening

is a Hundred Years' War,
Second Helix doesn't care.

You're in court in an hour

moving for
an expedited hearing,

they'll be here in two hours
with a check in their hand.

[door closes]

[sniffles, sighs]

You seem to hire the best.

So, what's your
story, baby?

I'm a fourth-year associate
who came here

after spending ten years
as a Russian mail-order bride.

[cackles]

Ah, the humor of the American
Jewess in full flower.

[groans]

[sighs]

So you think
they're siding with me?

Nope.I think you're right.

Go to the door,
keep guard for me.

[chuckles]

[British accent]:
Yes, is that Jonathan Habor
of The Wall Street Journal?

My name is

John Barron
from the investment firm of...

Barron & Mumson.

That's right, John Barron.

I understand
that the Second Helix IPO

is in danger.
There's some sort of

class action lawsuit
in the Chicago courts,

and I was wondering why
you are not covering it.

[whispers]:
That accent is terrible.

You don't have to take
my word for it, old chap.

Have your reporter
check the docket

for a Judge Peter Dunaway.

That's right.

Dunaway.
Toodle-oo, have to run.

[normal voice]: Okay,
so that's 20 seconds

for him to call Second Helix
corporate, another 20 seconds

for them to call

Another 40 seconds

starting... now.

How can you take anything

ADRIAN:
Because he has a point, Liz.

Second Helix isvulnerable

So are we, Adrian.
We are not ready.

We come to understand

"I have more

"I have black hair."

Oh. Sorry.

Uh, we need some help here.

There are a lot

Yes. We've had...

five cars of black voters

It's an attempt at
voter suppression.

JAY:
There goes another one.

LUCCA: This district got decided
by seven votes last election.

Uh, we've got

It would take someone two hours

Diane, this looks like
a riot forming.

I'll see what I can do.

[phone ringing]Hello.

DIANE:
Hi, it's me. I need your help.

I thought we weren't

Not unless there's an emergency.

I have some poll watchers

Can they-- Why?

So I can dox them.

Molly Harper. I work at home
as a transcriptionist.

Can you tell us what happened
to your husband, Ms. Harper?

Uh, Your Honor,
this isn't a trial.

We've made a motion
to dismiss.Yes.

And we've moved for
an expedited hearing.

So sit the fuck down.

Your Honor, that is what
I've had to deal with.

To decide on either motion,
I have to hear on the subject

of the case, so please
continue, Ms. Harper.

And, Mr. Blum, shut up.

[laughs]

MOLLY:
My husband Harlan decided
to try one of those

home genetics kits
from Second Helix.

That would be... one of these?

Yes.

Harlan thought
it would be fun.

He'd heard he had Irish ancestry
and wanted to find out.

And when the test results
came back, what did you learn?

Harlan had the gene
for atrial fibrillation--

a heart condition--

that he was at high
risk for stroke.

Obviously, we were scared.

Got two little girls
at home.

So we decided
to get life insurance.

This way, if something happened,
we would have help.

But the insurance company
denied coverage?
Yes.

They said that Harlan had
a preexisting condition.

Mm.

The gene for
atrial fibrillation.

And they heard about
this from Second Helix?

Objection, Your Honor.

Calls for speculation.JUDGE DUNAWAY: Sustained.

ADRIAN: Molly, what happened
to your husband after he was

denied insurance?He had a stroke.

He died, and the bills
kept piling up.

So you and 44 other
members of the class,

you want compensation
from Second Helix

for sharing private information
that prevented you

from protecting
your family?Yes.

Thank you, Molly.[Roland clears throat]

Just a few questions,
Your Honor.

[whispering]: Leave it.
The judge is with us.

Never leave any

Hello, Molly.

Can I ask you
a personal question?

What does Machu Picchu

Um...

♪

Hi, Rainbow Sweetshop?

I'm a concerned customer,
and I saw one of your employees

on a website called "Red Jackets
Intimidating Voters."

I'm very upset.

I will never
come to your shop again.

What's going on with
the whistle-blower?

He's on vacation in Japan.

We can't get ahold of him
until tomorrow.

ROLAND:
Well, we can't wait

until tomorrow.
We lose our advantage.

He was the cornerstone
of our case.

I got someone.

ADRIAN:
Who?
Someone.

We need to wrap this up now.
The judge is on our side.

The IPO is tomorrow.
Let's move.

I don't disagree,
but who is it?

Arthur Garber.

I worked for
Barnaby Life & Casualty

just shy of eight years.

And why'd you leave?

Crisis of conscience,
I guess.

We were buying the results
of genetic testing from places

like Second Helix and using them
to charge higher premiums,

sometimes to
deny coverage altogether.

And did you speak up?Sure I did.

First they humored me,
then they ignored me,

then they let me know
I wasn't a team player.

Who are these men?

I wanted to be
an insurance executive.

ROLAND:
Nothing further.

MAIA:
Unfortunately, Karen,
the fact that you were

wearing high heels on the ice
at the time of your fall

means a jury might find
you contributed to your injury.

You used the
term "stiletto,"

and you were walking
across a hockey rink.

Well, how many
inches were they?

Impressive.

I don't see you smiling.Okay, uh, Karen,

I will e-mail you
over the paperwork,

but I would advise you
to reconsider.

MARISSA:
You're on the phone.

Why does it matter if you smile?My super believes

that smiles can be felt
over the phone.

What is this?

The stuff you left
in your office.I left it for a reason.

Even these?

God, I forgot
about those.

Hey, bitchin'.[chuckles]

Who is this?

Why?

It's someone Roland Blum
put on the stand.

And that's my problem why?

It's your Second Helix case.

It is not my case anymore.
I was fired.

Here.

What's this?Something from Diane.

Three interviews
at top firms.

She'd give it
to you herself,

but there's a crisis
at work today.I'm fine.

You're not fine, Maia.
Look around.

This is what
"not fine" looks like.

Diane doesn't care about me.

Next time, clear
your friends ahead of time.Will do.

Look, you're gonna get me fired
from the last place

that will hire a Rindell, okay?

Who is this?

It's Arthur Garber,
Blum's dietician.

You're kidding.No. He has a fluid sense
of job descriptions.

Why? What was he supposed to be
on the stand?

A life insurance whistle-blower.

[gasps] Oh, my God.Call these numbers.

These are top firms.
Seriously, Maia.

This place is depressing me.

If you don't call
them, I will.

Right, yeah.
Got it, Diane.

Amazing. Thanks.

This is like a telethon.

Who are you calling now?

The police.

I thought they weren't
breaking the law.

Yeah, they weren't.
But two of them

are registered sex offenders
who are currently within

500 feet of a school.

Hi, could I speak to
a detective, please?

Hello, yeah.
This is Lucca Quinn.

I'd like to report
two registered sex offenders

in the parking lot of Phyllis
Wheatley Elementary School.

Yup, I can hold.

Uh, yes, I'm here.

MARISSA:
He doesn't work
at Barnaby Insurance.

He's Blum's dietician.

Oh, dear God.

How do we know this?

Maia. She was
with him for five days.

You don't think she's lying?

Are you kidding me?
Don't believe her if you want,

but stop asking me
to investigate, then.

[sighs]
So what do we do now?

We do nothing.

It's the defense's case.

My God, you're starting
to sound like Blum.

[scoffs]Shouldn't we be
telling the judge?

[Adrian gasps]

[clears throat]

Yes?

No, I was just... just thinking.

[elevator bell dings,
doors open]

Uh, Fiona Novak,
founder and CEO of Second Helix.

I guess that means
I'm the bad guy here.

[laughs]:
Oh, no.

But thank you for coming in
on such short notice.

We know you're busy.

Now, this is the, uh, standard,
uh, contract for Second Helix.

When people send you

a DNA sample to test, they agree
to the terms of this agreement?

Yes, that is correct.

Uh, would you
read the, uh,

highlighted section
there, please?

"I agree to share

"the genetic information
contained herein

with Second Helix,
its associates and affiliates."

Can I see a copy of that?Of course.

So, uh, when your customers
sign up with Second Helix,

they are informed that
their genetic information

will be shared and used because
that is part of the mission

of your company?Absolutely.

O-Our customers know
that we are committed

to serious medical research.

We've already got
a promising new drug for ALS.

Your Honor, in light of Ms.
Novak's testimony, the defense

moves to dismiss the case.ROLAND: Your Honor, uh,

we'd like to recall Arthur
Garber as a rebuttal witness.

Uh, just...

[quietly]: You're not
putting him on the stand.

Well, we can rebut
her testimony.

He's your fucking dietician,

and you're not putting him
on the stand.

ROLAND:
Your Honor,
I've just been informed

Mr. Garber is, uh, unavailable.JUDGE DUNAWAY: Okay.

I'm ready to rule.
On the motion to dismiss,

I am inclined
to agree with Mr. Andrews...

Your Honor,
can I interrupt here?

[gavel bangs]

Oh, Y-Your Honor,
I-I didn't recognize you.

I-Is there something you need?Yes.

My apologies. I should've
come directly to you.

But unfortunately, I need
Adrian Boseman in my court.

Only for a few hours.
It's an emergency hearing.

I understand. Well, um, we
could reconvene back here

at 4:00 in the afternoon.

Would that be enough time,
Your Honor?

I believe it will.Good.

Then I will rule
in three hours.[gavel bangs]

[chuckles]:
Thanks for the reprieve.

That wasn't for you.

DIANE:
So what do you think?[Liz sighs]

I think she's too much money
and it's stupid.

Mm. But other than that?
[laughs]

Well, I mean, loo--
her-her point seems to be

that if we all realized
how much we had in common,

there'd be no more racism.

That's not my experience.

What is your experience?

That human nature cannot be
solved by a sensitivity game.

Okay, so I say we offer midyear
bonuses to all the associates.

Call it a onetime windfall.

They'll know
we're buying them off.

Yeah, and we are.

Yeah.

Oh, we're gonna have
to convince the partners.

It's gonna be a lot of money.

$10,000 bonuses
over three years.

So, Prince, huh?

Yeah. Did that surprise you?

Eh, well,
you know, I just

thought you were more the, uh,
Renée Fleming type, you know?

[both sighing]

[ringtone playing]

[ringtone stops]

When I say so.

You really enjoy
being a judge, huh?

[laughs, sighs]

Best thing in the world.

[clears throat]

A few weeks ago,
I got pulled over by a cop.

He said my windows
were too dark.

I let him play
his little power game.

"Get out of the car, ma'am.
Stand by the curb, ma'am."

I was polite.

I got his name
and his badge number.

I said, "Have a nice day, sir."

Then I drove to court,
called his supervisor,

and had them both come in
for a judicial examination.

Boom.
[laughs]

[both sigh]

He didn't recognize me
at first, until I said,

"Have a nice day, sir."

Then his face.

[laughs]:
Ooh, you should've seen it.

He saw his whole world turn
upside down.

He had a rush of shit
to the brain.

[laughs]

[sighs]

And that's when I realized,

every single bad moment
in law school,

it was worth it.

You are so sexy.

Hmm.

So how long have you and Blum
been working together?

[groans]

About five hours.

[chuckles]
How you liking it?

Oh, God.[laughs]

Yeah, you two
are a lot alike.

Oh, no, we are not.Oh, yes, you are.
[chuckles]

You're like characters
out of Shakespeare.

Half showmen, half con men.

I'm not a con man.

How do you know
Blum, anyhow?

New York. Everybody knew him.

He did... favors for people.

Did he for you?

Your head is like a sculpture.

I want to cut it off
and put it on my desk.

What favors did he do for you?

[sighs]

You have an opening
with your judge, you know.

With Dunaway?

What do you mean?He was supposed to be

on a four-month
patent case,

but they settled.

He's looking for a cause.

You can use that.

Thanks for coming in.

Uh, sorry,
what's your name again?

Maia Ri-- Henson.

You are lucky
to have Diane Lockhart

in your corner.[chuckles softly]

Uh, how are you
with labor law?

I've worked on several cases.
I know the latest statutes.

Ah, good. You're exactly
what we're looking for.

Oh. Well, that is great news.

Yes. Do you think
you can start in November?

Oh, I thought this was for now.

No, it's a long-running
class action.

We expect to be depo-dumped
at the end of the year.

So, six months from now?

Yes. Maybe seven.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I-I need something now.

I completely get it.
Uh, stay in touch

if you're still available
in November.

Did Diane know about
the late start date on this?

I don't know.
I think so.

Thank you.

[sighing]

Don't you have a life?

You're my life.

Ah, good of you
to show up.

So we're heading
to court

in one hour.ADRIAN: Yeah.
I've just been told

that Judge Dunaway may be open
to a pivot on the case.

Told by who?"Whom."

Somebody in the know.Okay, so what's the pivot?

I don't know.
We have an hour.

We just need a lifeline.Well, we're not gonna

win with a lifeline.It's not about winning.

It's about scaring
the other side shitless.

[laughs] Okay.

Thank you.

Okay, so we have

a sympathetic client, you know?

Judge liked her, started to cry.

So we stick with her
and the class.

So does that mean the pivot
is in the law or the facts?

We still don't have the, uh,

whistle-blower
connection?Uh-uh.

The law.
ROLAND:
Okay.

So do we attack
contract of adhesion?

ADRIAN:
Maybe. It was an
online contract.

Wait a second.

What did that, uh, CEO say?

Oh, some pious
shit about--

Oh.
Yeah. Yeah.

Wait, right. Uh...
Yeah.

Advances.

In pharmaceuticals.What did she say?

Uh, a promising new drug...For ALS.

Ay! Motherfucking ALS!

The mother lode!

Hell yeah!It's scary watching you two.

We are brothers now, you and I.

We have spilled
intellectual blood

together here today.

[laughs]

Oh, now to court.

Men shall quake to
see us approach.

[whispers]:
Quake.

At the end of the day,

all people
are not created equal.

That extends to the vote.

NAOMI:
So, you don't believe
every American citizen

has a right to vote?I believe women vote

based on emotion.

Muslims vote for sharia law.

Blacks are out for blood.

They want revenge for
perceived sins of the past.

So everyone's
got an agenda.

Wouldn't you say
you have an agenda?

My only agenda

is protecting
American culture.

I can't watch.So she's your girlfriend?

Uh, she's someone who I am with.

Oh, my God.
It's like you're being deposed.

How long has this been going on?

Let's not make
a big deal of it.

One month.

How could she not
vomit interviewing him?LUCCA: She's a reporter.

Objectivity is
the whole point.

Yeah, well, some people you
shouldn't be objective about.

Mm-hmm.[sirens approaching]

Uh-oh. Here we go.

Rounding up the
sex offenders.

So, thank you, everyone,
for returning.

Prompt as always.

I am ready to rule
on the motion to dismiss.Your Honor.

Plaintiffs would like
to amend our suit.

You're kidding.The Illinois Code
of Civil Procedure

allows plaintiffs
to amend at any time

before final judgment.

JARED:
Only on just and
reasonable terms.

This is neither just
nor reasonable.

We only today learned
a new key piece of information.

Information that
the defense disclosed

in sworn testimony
to this court.

What new information?

The CEO of
Second Helix stated

plaintiffs' data is being used,
and has been used,

to develop...
blockbuster drugs.

So what?
So we're owed a
share in the profits.

Wha...?

[Jared sighs]

I'm not an anarchist.
I'm an agitator.

If this place is still standing
in 100 years,

I think history will prove that.

Thank you for
your time, Lance.

Let's shut this down.
[sniffles]

Good talking to you.

No, thank you.

[door opens, water running]

[pants unzip]

[water stops]

Do you mind?

"Black people
are out for blood"?

What?
You said,
"Black people

are out for blood."

You got 50 people
out in that parking lot

scaring the hell
out of the neighbors,

and we'reout for blood?

If it helps any,
given your racial profile and...

community...[zips pants]

probably can't help yourself.

[panting]

[groaning]

[Lance groaning]

You okay?

I'm gonna help you up.
It's too bad

you fell down like that
and hit your head on the sink.

These floors
can be slippery.

Hey, we're good here
if you want to head back.

You sure?

Yeah.

Thanks.

I know what this bitch did!Hey!

She doxed me!

Hey, everybody just
take a breath here, all right?

She didn't do it, you moron.

I did.[men murmuring]

Did she call someone a moron?

She didn't do it. I did.

No, I did!

I did it, over here.

♪

[clamoring continues]

Is it all right
to hit a Nazi unprovoked?

I was always taught
to never throw the first punch.

Never instigate.
Defend, but don't attack.

But then I saw a video

of the white nationalist
Richard Spencer

being punched in the face

during an interview,
and I realized

Spencer was in a pressed suit,

wearing a tie,

being interviewed
like his opinion mattered,

like he should be considered
part of the conversation,

like Neo-Nazism was just
one political point of view.

And then I realized

there's no better way to show
some speech is not equal.

Some speech requires
a more visceral response.

It's like Overton's window.

That's the term for which ideas

are tolerated
in public discourse.

Well, Overton's window
doesn't mean shit

unless it comes
with some enforcement.

So, yeah, this is enforcement.[sirens wailing]

Ms. Novak, can you see

FIONA:
Clear as day.

Great. Can you read

I read before.

It is. But when Mr.

he gave you a paper copy.

Objection, Your Honor.
Where's this going?

Patience, Mr. Andrews.
Let's find out together.

ADRIAN:
Ms. Novak, you read

from a paper copy
of the agreement,

the agreement

that your clients
receive, is it?

Uh, how do you mean?You don't send them

They actually sign up online.

Yes.

ADRIAN:
So, and this agreement
that we're reading from

is actually found

under a tab on your website.

We went looking for it.

It's actually remarkably
difficult to find.

Counsel's testifying,
Your Honor.

JUDGE DUNAWAY:
Sustained.
Let me rephrase.

Ms. Novak, isn't it true
that when clients sign up

to have their DNA sequenced
by Second Helix,

all they really
see... is that?

What am I looking at?ROLAND:
Contract of adhesion.

Ms. Novak's told us
the reason her customers

sign away
their genetic information

is because they care about

scientific progress,
but this shows

they don't know
what they're signing up for.ADRIAN: When they create

an account, this box is

We really got
you guys scared, huh?
