This week on Young at Heart,

Trina discovers that her 68-year-old
mother was chosen over her.

- Slam.
- But that's the risk in pod-life.

What will Dylan say when he realizes the
sexy voice he has been flirting with

is applying for
Social Security next week?

Who is it?

What are you doing? Are you in
the shower or something? Let's go.

- I didn't buzz you in, Mr. Lester.
- Yes, because I tipped your doorman.

I told you,
I prefer we meet at the office.

This isn't business.

Hey... Nice apartment.

- But you need somewhere to sit, though.
- I just moved in.

Cashing all those
Ben-Baruch checks, I see.

Well, I've come
to whisk you away.

- Here, change into this.
- What is it?

A ball gown.
You know, the mice sewed it.

Mr. Baruch requests
your presence at a crypto prom.

Everything old is made new again
if you put "crypto" in front of it.

Let's go.
I'm your Fairy Godmother.

This is my least favorite part of the job:
socializing.

I would so much rather be sitting at home
listening to old radio serials.

- What does that mean?
- God, youth today.

Have you ever heard of Jack Benny,
or Fibber McGee and Molly?

They were the funniest comedies
of the old radio era.

No blood, no swearing, no violence.
Just good clean fun.

How did you get into this business?

John Gotti. I used to be his driver.
And then he sent me to law school.

- Why are you doing this, Carmen?
- What? Being a lawyer?

No.

Liz and Diane are lawyers.
You're the law.

I take my clients seriously,
that's all.

You're like me.

I walk down the street,
and I know who the real people are:

the ones who can kill me.

They're not the largest.
They're not the loudest.

They're people like you and me,
easily dismissed,

but who can take down anyone
in a blink of an eye.

Here he comes.

It fits. I'm glad.

Yes, your measurements
were very accurate, sir.

I'm good at sizing up women.
I'm so glad you could make it, Carmen.

Thank you, sir.
Did you need me for something?

I want you to meet
a few of these connections.

Crypto has made a lot of
multimillionaires overnight.

- Do they need lawyers?
- We all need lawyers.

The Biden administration wants
to shape crypto for its own needs.

The more we band together,
the better.

What is it?

Do you know that man?

- No. Why?
- I think he's an undercover cop.

- How do you know?
- I just do.

Let's go, Mr. Baruch. This way.

Everybody fucking freeze.
I said freeze!

Excuse me, Officers.
This is a private party.

- We have a warrant.
- I'm Mr. Baruch's personal attorney...

Mr. Charles Lester, you're under arrest
for the murder of Gal Avivi.

You have the right to remain silent...

- Carmen.
- Is this necessary?

Carmen, get me bail.

- Welcome back.
- Thank you. I am...

Really back.

Would you like to join me?

- Who is your florist?
- I don't know. Why?

It's always
so beautiful in here.

God. The colors are
tickling my brain.

I worry that I don't see enough
of the beauty of the world.

- Why do you say that?
- Curse of the progressive.

If one person is suffering,
you can't enjoy your life.

It's like the opposite
of that Bruegel painting.

- The Fall of Icarus?
- Oh, my God. Get out of my brain.

Yes. Do you know
what I'm gonna say next?

Maybe.
But I'd like to hear you say it.

Well,The Fall of Icarus
is this beautiful landscape,

everyone enjoying the day,

and in this tiny little corner,
Icarus falls from the sky and drowns.

But I don't see it that way.
In my landscape,

Icarus is in the foreground
drowning massive,

and this tiny, beautiful landscape
is just in the background.

- You're a lifeguard.
- What does that mean?

- We always need people to save us.
- Nobody likes a savior.

Saviors don't tell jokes.

So, let's talk about your reaction
to the last treatment.

You said you were floating
in your office?

Yes, about four feet
above the ground.

And was that a pleasant
or an unpleasant feeling?

I don't know. It didn't scare me.
Can I argue in court like this?

Like how you are right now?

I don't see why not. Why, do you think
it'll hurt your performance?

Well, sometimes I need
to be angry to do my job.

And I'm not angry.

Maybe you'll be better at
your job if you're not angry.

- Diane, I have some homework for you.
- Oh, my God.

That's my favorite thing in the world.
I was always so good at homework.

- Hit me with it.
- Do you know what doomscrolling is?

I do. Guilty.

Okay, so for the next 72 hours,
I want you to stop.

No doomscrolling.

Don't look at your phone,
don't look at your computer.

Turn off all news alerts.
Don't watch MSNBC, any of it.

Why?

Because the way you feel right now
is partly a function of our treatment

but partly a function of you
changing your habits.

We have to change your habits.

otherwise you'll grow too dependent
on coming to see me.

What if I like
coming to see you?

Then you and I will become
too attached to one another.

Look, we're in a building phase.

Don't judge the Chicago Crows
by last season.

Judge us by the next one.
We're getting a new head coach.

And we're gonna kick ass this year.

- Is that you, sir?
- Yes, of course.

And this clip on
Sports Desk with Bill Gettes,

that's your office in the background,
the general manager's office?

- It is.
- And let's do this.

Let's magnify your little
whiteboard back there.

Do you see that? Those words there?
Can you read that?

- Number three. What does that say?
- Objection. He didn't write that.

I didn't say he did.
All I asked is, could he read it?

- Overruled. Answer the question, sir.
- It says, "Rooney Rule."

And what does that mean?
Rooney Rule?

Look, I was really considering
your client for the position.

- Darren, I gave you a fair hearing.
- Mr. Camden, no.

You answer the question. You don't
just talk. What's the Rooney Rule?

It's an NFL rule
that I have to give due diligence

to interviewing Black candidates for the
coach position before I hire who I want.

Sounds like you have
a little chip on your shoulder.

- Objection.
- Withdrawn.

I just like provoking you, Al.

- It's Alma.
- Wait, wait. Don't provoke.

What does number four
up there say?

- "Hire Schlockin."
- That would be Kurt Schlockin?

- The white coach you eventually hired?
- Objection. He didn't make this list.

And this list wasn't made
before the coach was hired.

And if I spent five more minutes
on Mr. Lane's question,

I could probably come up
with five more objections.

Well, let's take
those objections, one at a time.

- I would like a ruling...
- Overruled. Let's keep this going.

So the Rooney Rule forced you to
interview a Black candidate, Mr. Camden,

but you already knew
the white coach you wanted?

- Objection. Don't answer that.
- Okay.

I won't embarrass you any further,
Mr... General Manager.

Go ahead, Alma.
I'd love to hear what you have to say.

Just one question.

Did race enter into the hiring
of your coach?

No. I just thought Darren wasn't as good.
Sorry, Darren.

And that's all she wrote,
Your Honor.

Mr. Baptiste and his
very capable lawyers

are suing us for no good reason
other than sour grapes.

He wasn't hired. Somebody else was.
Too bad. So sad.

Why don't we let the evidence
speak for itself, Alma?

Hold on, everyone.

As you know, I love football.

My favorite holiday
is the Super Bowl.

But given that this is just a motion to
dismiss, I don't need all the crosstalk.

- Anything else?
- Yes.

Just one more thing, Your Honor.

Mr. Camden, in the Chicago Crows'
100-year history,

have they ever hired
a Black head coach?

I don't know.

What about signing
a Black quarterback?

- I don't keep track.
- For future reference, they haven't.

And isn't it true that our client is one
of the only non-white defensive coaches

that the Chicago Crows
have ever hired?

- It's not about race.
- Can you answer the question?

Otherwise I'm just gonna
have to keep asking it.

It's true.

- Good cross.
- Thank you.

You, too.
You're very good at this.

It's my fourth favorite thing.

Dare I ask?

Well, sex, food, music...

cross-examination.

Chicago Protests
Extend Into Second Month

Worst Gun Violence Epidemic
In U.S. History

Body Odor Definite Sign
Of Rare Genetic Disease

Mayor Wants to Ban Dogs

- What's this?
- My dad's case. His legal team.

- I thought you were his legal team.
- I'm one part of it.

The part that's told
to "shut up and listen."

- Can you help me?
- Yes.

- So you want email...
- No news. No Twitter. No Facebook.

Okay, but are you sure? How are you
gonna keep track of these protests?

Well, I guess you'll tell me if anything
life-threatening happens.

You seem happier than usual, Diane.

Well, I've decided to focus
on the good things in life

and ignore the things
I can't control.

- And how are you doing that?
- I think this is the first step.

No doomscrolling.

- And my cell phone.
- I give you 12 hours.

Then you'll be coming back to me,
begging me to reverse it.

Nope.

That's a very pretty jacket
on you, Marissa.

Bright.

Thank you, Diane.

Lisa Riderman. She defended
the Rothman hit man last year.

Reduced his sentence to five years.

- What?
- Or Donny Gala.

Of Gala, Evans & Associates.
He's been at it for 20 years. Great guy.

What is this?
What are you talking about?

These are criminal lawyers
who can defend you, Mr. Lester.

- I can't.
- But you're my choice.

I work for Mr. Baruch.
It is a complete conflict of interest.

He's being investigated
for the murder, too.

- And I cannot represent both of you.
- You can if I give permission.

You can put up a Chinese wall
between his interests and mine.

Look, I would advise
going with Donny Gala.

I've already made
a call for you.

But, Carmen,
you're my good luck charm.

Those guys cannot protect me
the way that you can protect me.

- I need your help.
- Mr. Lester...

I am trying to protect you by doing this.
Please know that.

'Cause Mr. Baruch has asked you
to back out, right?

- No.
- You've spoken to him.

- I...
- Didn't he talk to you?

This is just me.

I'm sorry. I will...

- I will have Donny get in touch with you.
- Carmen...

I'm sorry, Mr. Lester.

$100,000. Won't go higher,
and we'll need an NDA.

You know, Alma, I've always
respected you. But when did you start...

Yada yada yada. God, do you like playing
the co-opted card when it suits you.

Your client
just admitted to racism.

These are the same accusations
that Brian Flores put out there.

No. No, no, no.
We are not taking $100,000.

Well, it was good talking to you.
I would like to say to you, Mr. Goate,

I know you're worth $3.5 billion
and you're financing this suit,

but the league will never
admit to racist hiring. Ever.

So Baptiste should collect
his winnings now and stop.

Ask him, how many games did
Colin Kaepernick start this season?

- Or last.
- Ri'Chard Lane for Mr. LaShawn.

Are we done here?

I thought I'd call another team owner.
Pete LaShawn.

I've got a team lawyer here

who is arguing collusion
among the 32 team owners.

That no one will hire
our client because he's suing.

Just seeing if you agree.

I'll see you in court.

The league has deep pockets.
Bill, how far you willing to go?

I got deep pockets, too.
I know Nelson the team owner.

He won't go down
without a fight.

But there's something that strikes fear
into the heart of every team owner.

- What?
- CTE.

- That's right. Traumatic head injuries.
- The judge will never allow that in.

That has nothing to do
with racial discrimination.

One thing I've come to learn
about professional football.

Everything has
a racial dimension.

I'm on it.

You need a lock box for this, Car.

Mr. Baruch, this is...

I'd rather have business
handled at work.

And I'd rather have
business handled.

I'm not a big fan
of the Heckler & Koch.

- Let my guys buy you something else.
- I'm fine.

I heard you visited Charles in prison
and backed out as his lawyer.

Yes. I have a conflict of interest.

- Because you represent me?
- That's right.

And I'm being investigated
for the murder?

Yes.

That's why I want you to be
Charlie's lawyer.

- It's a bad idea, sir.
- I give you my permission.

Even more than that,
I'm asking you to represent him.

But if I clear him,
you could be in trouble.

Exactly, that's why
you won't clear him.

He's your scapegoat?

I don't like that word.

Leviticus: "Aaron shall place both his
hands on the head of the live goat

"and confess over it all the iniquities
of the people of Israel, all their sins,

"putting them on the head of the goat,
and sending it away into the wilderness."

I can't do that, Ben.

I need you to be Charlie's lawyer.

He wants you.

And I want you.

And you need to represent him.

And lose.

Good luck.

THE GOOD FIGHT

Could you hold the door, please?

- Wow, Ms. Lockhart.
- Carmen, I didn't see you.

- Would you like some flowers?
- I'm good.

Did you come from a funeral?

Oh, no. But if you get
to the flower shop before 9:00,

they have some really
good deals.

I just want to make
the downstairs cheerier.

- Have you ever seenMetropolis?
- What is that? A movie?

It's a Fritz Lang movie

where the workers live in this underworld
of gray and dark.

Here, why don't you at least
take these flowers?

No...

- But I'll help you.
- Okay.

You didn't have to do that.
What is this? A bribe?

- Professor Callas.
- Carmen Moyo.

Row four, seat "J."

You really kept a low profile
in Legal Procedure 101.

You're the prosecutor?

After COVID, I left school,
went back to my first love:

putting dirtbags
like your client in prison.

I hear you're a force
to be reckoned with.

- Could you excuse me?
- Of course.

- No, no, keep some.
- Maybe later.

- This isn't a meeting for flowers.
- Tell me if you need me.

I should be fine.

Yeah, so everybody in
the S.A.'s Office is, like,

shaking in their boots
going up against you.

I had to look at the name twice to see if
it was the same Carmen Moyo

who barely said five words in lecture.

- What have you got for me, Professor?
- Some advice.

Have your client plead guilty.

He could end up with 30 years
instead of a life sentence.

- Who are we talking about?
- Right.

Too many dirtbags
to keep track of.

Charles Lester.

In case you forgot what he looks like,
that's him.

Time stamp has him leaving the scene
right after the murder.

Now I see why you have so many clients
who are the worst of the worst.

You were a wallflower
no one noticed,

and you finally found
the people who notice you.

- So, is this discovery?
- No, this is an iPad.

I will send you a link.

But listen to me, Carmen.
You're gonna lose.

Professor Callas,
I kept detailed notes of your lectures.

Thursday, June 2019:

"Always throw off your opponent

"by questioning their personal
life and their choices."

- That's good. Did I say that?
- You did.

Very informative.

This is gonna be
a lot harder than you think.

You revealed too much
of yourself in your lectures.

I'll see you in court.

Why am I not doing anything?
Where are my cases?

It's crazy what's going on
in Florida right now.

- No, Texas, not Florida.
- I heard it was Florida.

What news sources are
you guys listening to?

- I'm pretty sure it's Texas.
- Okay, well...

No, it's a new law in Texas.
Women are being outlawed.

- Wait, I can't believe...
- What is it? What's going on?

- A law they just passed in Texas.
- Hold on.

Marissa told us
not to say anything to you.

- What? Why not?
- You're trying to avoid the news.

No.

Sorry, Ms. Lockhart.
We've been given instructions.

Marissa.

Can we have a minute?

So here's my thinking.

Just throttle my news surfing.
Don't turn it off completely.

Diane, I'm sorry.
You're a better person this way.

Your surfing privileges
have been cut off.

I mean, look at all these flowers.
They're beautiful.

Marissa, I just want to catch a glimpse
of what's going on.

- That's all.
- Nope.

Carmen, thank you.
I met that other lawyer you sent me.

I just didn't like him.

There's something I want
to show you, Mr. Lester.

It's evidence
the S.A. showed me.

This is the bodega where
Gal Avivi was murdered.

And that time code there,
that's ten minutes after the shooting.

- That isn't me.
- It is you.

I'm not a good person,
but I'm telling you the truth.

This isn't me.

Is there some way
you can prove it isn't you?

I'm a creature of habit.

At that time, I was taking
a contemplative walk by the lake.

Many people saw me.

Well, they probably didn't notice me
'cause I'm not noticeable.

So, you want to maintain
your innocence?

Only because this is one rare
instance when I am innocent.

Please help me. I trust you.

What's up?

I'm trying to figure out
if someone deepfaked a client.

What exactly do you need
to pull one off?

It's fairly simple, actually.

As long as you've got
a video of their head

and a pretty clear angle of
their face, you're good to go.

Here you go, Jay.

- What's going on with you two?
- Nothing. I don't know. Here.

I'll send you the video
of Mr. Lester's head.

- Can you see if it's a deepfake?
- And the S.A.'s Office did it?

No, I think it could be
my other client Ben-Baruch.

Really?

Come to me first.
Even if it's a deepfake.

- I'm not sure I'll use it.
- Why not?

I just want to consider it.

- Mr. Baptiste, good afternoon.
- Good afternoon to you.

Don't worry. They'll tell us
if we need to seek cover.

Go ahead.

So, you were the Chicago Crows' senior
defensive adviser for five years?

For those in court who are unfamiliar with
what a defensive adviser does,

could you summarize?

A defense adviser helps set the tone
for the unit at practice.

He crafts the defensive game strategy.

He's sort of like middle management
between the head coach,

the assistant coaches,
and players.

Thank you. I knew, but I wanted
others in court to know.

And during those five years,

have there been any complaints from the
players about your style of leadership?

So, I see you're checking
with your lawyers.

Let me make room for you
so you can see their signals undeterred.

- Objection.
- Sustained.

Not necessary, Counselor.

Isn't it true that several white players

have complained that you create
racial tension on the team?

I toughen our players
to make them better.

Neither I nor the other coaching staff
ever took any complaints seriously.

So, you're saying that there
were blatant racial complaints,

and no one took them seriously?

No. Defensive units tend to be
more Black across the league.

And offensive units tend to be more
white at the line and quarterback.

This is true.

Defensive units also tend to be more
aggressive at practice, right?

So the structure of the team,

it naturally sets white and Black players
against each other.

- But this is the league.
- Okay.

What about your
pepper grinder hand signal?

- Objection.
- Relevance?

- Mr. Baptiste, please explain the...
- It's a signal.

It's a signal for defensive units to go
after someone on the offensive unit.

- To ground them up like pepper.
- So to clarify...

You have a hand signal for the Black
players to grind up the white players?

- Objection. Relevance?
- Overruled.

And perhaps one of you
could object at a time.

- Please answer the question.
- No.

We're trying to toughen
all our players, that's all.

Really.
There is nothing racial here.

No further questions,
Your Honor.

The witness is excused.

TIME TO GO NUCLEAR.

- What is this?
- Things to keep your hands busy.

You want to stop doomscrolling.
Here you go.

- Marissa, I am not ten.
- I know, because that would be easier.

Here's some Play-Doh.

An emoji that spits
up when you squeeze it.

Spinners.

Locking bricks.

And some tops.

It'd be easier just to let me
check my news sites.

Have fun.

Here.

Thanks.

You look stressed.

Just waiting for Ms. Reddick
to come back from court.

Well, that let out a while ago.
She probably went home.

What do you need?

I am serving two masters. One I know
is guilty and one I know is innocent.

The guilty one wants me to represent
the one that's innocent,

but just so I can
get him convicted.

Is the one who is guilty
a client of the firm?

- Yes.
- And the one who's innocent?

Also a client.

Can you hand off the one who's
innocent to another lawyer here?

No.
Not without putting myself in danger.

Well, if all things were equal,
which I know they're not,

you shouldn't be
representing either of them.

And at a minimum, you should not be
representing the one who's innocent.

I agree.

But you feel you have no option?

Yes.

- When is your first court date?
- Tomorrow.

Motion to dismiss.

Well...

With more drinking
comes more clarity.

Good to see you, Carmen.

Good luck.

- Mr. Lester, how are you doing today?
- Fine.

Good, because we may need
to put you on the stand.

Ms. Lockhart, I didn't know
you were on this, too.

I thought I'd see
what I could do.

Sound good, Carmen?

- How's this gonna work?
- I do my best, you do your worst.

Gal Avivi. 37 years old.
A father of three.

He was brutally murdered
by Charles Lester

for cooperating
with law enforcement.

These images are
certainly inflammatory,

but they're hardly evidence
against Mr. Lester.

We object to their introduction.

Are you concerned that I'll be
swayed by a few vivid images?

No, only that you'll be
reversed in appeal.

Mr. Lester has
a well-established reputation

for serving Chicago's most
notorious criminals.

So, now we indict by reputation?

Lemond Bishop,
Oscar Rivi, Ben-Baruch.

Ms. Lockhart is right.
I don't hold any lawyer's tendency

to represent disreputable
clients against him... or her.

Section 114 of
the Illinois Code says,

"Charges must be dismissed

"if they're based solely on the testimony
of an incompetent witness."

- Who's the incompetent witness?
- You, Mr. Callas.

You seem to be testifying, spewing
allegations right, left and center,

without offering
a shred of hard evidence.

Right. Except that I have evidence,
Your Honor.

A video.
Let me play it for you now.

- Hallelujah.
- Ms. Lockhart.

This video shows Charles Lester leaving
the scene of the crime at 12:32 a.m.,

shortly after the neighbors reported
hearing gunshots and called the police.

Your Honor, we believe there is
more than enough evidence

to hold Mr. Lester
over to trial.

We ask that you dismiss
the defense's motion.

Defense?

Your Honor, we would like
to call a witness.

Max Fisherwood. I'm...

You probably know who I am, but...

- Do you want me to say it?
- That would be helpful.

I am the team doctor
for the Chicago Crows.

So you know all about the Chicago
Crows' injury records and their system?

Then I'd like to ask you about incidents
of... CTE on the Crows.

Shut this shit down,
you shut this shit down.

Yeah, Your Honor, we strenuously object
to opening this line of questioning.

- Alma, dear, I haven't even started.
- CTE has nothing to do with this case.

- It's a smokescreen.
- Hold on.

I know a lot about football,

but I also know
that this is totally problematic

and has a lot of conservatives
in an uproar

about what they're
teaching kids these days.

Your Honor, I think you're referring
to CRT, critical race theory?

- Am I, now?
- Chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

CTE? It's repeated head injuries,
Your Honor.

Yes.
Now I remember.

And how is this relevant
to a case about racial bias?

- It's not. It's a Trojan horse.
- Why don't you wait for the questions?

All right, Counsel, let's all approach
the bench. Thank you.

Darren, you just fucked yourself.
The league is a small sandbox.

You can't just throw CTE
around and expect to get hired.

-What did you just say?
-Mind your own business.

- Repeat what you just said.
- What's going on?

Your Honor, I just heard the team owner
Mr. Nelson Ruddy, that gentleman there,

I heard him
threatening our client.

- I did no such thing.
- I'll testify to it, Your Honor.

And I'll testify that you misheard it, and
it was you who threatened me!

- Okay, okay.
- Quiet, please.

- Why, because I'm Black?
- Order in the court.

So, CTE.

The three dreaded letters that strike fear
into the heart of professional football.

Let's talk about it.

I see it's woken Alma
and the team owner up.

What are the Chicago Crows
doing in regard to CTE?

We have very strict concussion protocols
along with the rest of the league.

Can you explain how
concussion protocols work?

Yes. If a player gets hit in the head,

we test their cognitive abilities against
a baseline of tests we perform

before the season starts.

Is there any "race norming"
in these questions?

No, these are just basic questions
everyone should be able to answer.

- What is race norming?
- It is a discontinued practice.

When it was in practice, what was it?

In cognitive tests
it was the incorrect assumption

that Black players had lower cognitive
abilities than white players.

So you're saying the league assumes
Black players are less intelligent,

and therefore they receive less treatment

because they have a lower baseline
to qualify as injured?

No. I'm saying that that is an out-of-date
practice and it is no longer relevant.

Dr. Fisherwood,
since CTE is caused by concussions,

what team has the highest rate of CTE,
according to the league's own stats?

Can you read right there?

The Chicago Crows.

What team has the highest rate
of Black players with CTE?

You'll find that right there.

It's the Crows.

And which team has the highest rate of
Black players filing claims against a team

for pain and suffering

and dementia?

You'll find that on the next page.

Well, I...
I think you can read this.

I can, but it's so much more
satisfying when you do.

What's that say there?

It says, "Chicago Crows."

Seems like a trend.

You fight these claims at an almost
3-to-1 ratio of Black players over white.

- Why is that?
- I don't know.

- I think I do.
- Objection.

I'll withdraw.

Congratulations, Alma.

Ty Bailey.
I thought I saw you back there.

It looked like you were
taking notes,

and you don't look like
the typical court stenographer.

That would've been
my second career choice.

So, how can I help you?

- Were you taking notes?
- Yes.

What are you gonna do with them?

Take them back to other
Black players and coaches.

A lot of them are angry
about the Crows' defense.

- Okay.
- I can get you in touch with them.

They might be willing
to bring a class action.

Great.
Yeah, that'd be great.

Thank you, Mr. Dipersia,
for lending us your expertise.

In your research, were you able to find
some significant details

about this "damning" video?

Yes. This video is fake.

I have to look
like I'm arguing with you.

What, is your friend
Ben-Baruch not happy?

He looks pissed.

- I can tell Jay your situation.
- No, I'm fine. I can explain this.

Okay, I said I've got this.

How is that possible, Mr. Dipersia,

when the video so clearly shows
Mr. Lester exiting the crime scene?

Deepfake technology manipulates
pixels in digital images

to make it look like something
that didn't happen did happen.

I object.
There's no proof of this.

- May we continue, Your Honor?
- Please.

How can you know that this is
a deepfake, Mr. Dipersia?

You can see from the shadows
under the subject's chin.

They fall in a different
direction from his body.

I object, Your Honor! Are we supposed
to just take his word for this?

No. We would like
to present exhibit D?

Please.

Your Honor, I am shocked!
That offends the People!

And what is it we're looking at,
Mr. Dipersia?

This is a deepfake that I created
using the likeness of the prosecutor.

And can you tell the court how
you were able to create this video?

I used GaN technology and some footage
from Callas's old lectures to create it.

We need to talk.

Why don't I go with?

No, it's okay.

Catch the next one.

- Are you fucking me?
- I am not.

I was as surprised as you

that Ms. Lockhart wanted
to get involved with this defense.

Bullshit. All that tech stuff in there,
she didn't just make that up.

Sir, I had to put on a good show
for Mr. Lester. That is all.

If I didn't, he would have
known that something was up.

Listen to me.
Get your partner off this case.

Mr. Baruch, I am a first-year
associate at my firm.

I am the lowest of the low...

This is all you need to know.

You argue in court, not her.
Make it happen.

- I have one more witness.
- And will it go the way I want?

It's the best way to hurt our case.

'Cause if it doesn't go the way I want,
someone is gonna wind up dead.

What are you doing, Carmen?

- Your Honor, we have one more witness.
- Okay.

And then I'll rule
on the motion to dismiss.

- Who is it?
- Charles Lester.

Is this about Ben-Baruch?

It's about putting
our client on the stand.

At a certain point,
we have to get out of the way

and let the chips fall
where they may.

- Are you ready, Mr. Lester?
- I don't know.

What do you want me to say?

- The truth.
- Okay.

If you think that's smart.

- Mr. Lester, did you kill Gal Avivi?
- No.

Did you have anything to do
with his murder?

No.

- Do you know who did?
- No.

Is there anything else
you would like to add?

Well... no.

Thank you.

No further questions,
Your Honor.

Mr. Lester, do you work for the
cryptocurrency launderer Ben-Baruch?

- Objection. Not in evidence.
- I agree. Rephrase.

- Do you work for Ben-Baruch?
- I do.

- I have. I don't know if I still do.
- You don't know. Okay.

Have you worked for
the drug dealer Oscar Rivi?

I work for Oscar Rivi.
But I don't believe he's a drug dealer.

He sells yogurt
and edibles these days.

Edibles. Okay.

And do you work for infamous
drug dealer Lemond Bishop?

I worked for Lemond Bishop.

But I believe he accepted Jesus
after he left prison

and is no longer a drug dealer,
if he ever was.

Mr. Lester, are you not considered an
enforcer for several top Chicago gangs?

Me?
Do I look like an enforcer?

I'd love it if I were.

I'd get more respect
from my dry cleaners.

Isn't it a fact, sir,

that you have been hired by several
top drug dealers and gangsters

to persuade witnesses
not to testify against them?

No.

I'm just me.
I read histories of Lincoln.

I listen to old radio shows.
Like Jack Benny.

Love Jack Benny.
Where do you listen to him?

They have files online.

My niece comes over
and puts them on my laptop.

You'll have to send me the link.
I love the old radio serials.

LikeThe Shadow,
My Favorite Husband.

I've never heard
My Favorite Husband.

It's a lot of fun. Lucille Ball. And it
was the same writer asRear Window.

- John Michael Hayes.
- You know him. Did you read the book?

- About his collaboration with Hitchcock?
- What a story.

The Man Who Knew Too Much.

Yes, exactly.

I'm not interested
in a class action suit.

Well, it's just a suit
to gain leverage, Mr. Goate.

If we pressure them
with a class action suit,

then they'll be more likely
to settle for Baptiste.

- I don't want it.
- Why not?

Because it's a distraction.

I hired you to represent Darren Baptiste
in a lawsuit for racial discrimination.

- Then let's ask him.
- Excuse me?

We represent Baptiste.
Let's ask him what he wants.

- Who are you?
- He's our investigator.

No.

Do what I pay you to do.
I'll worry about Darren.

He met with the team owners
last night.

What? Why?

My guess is,
he wants to buy the Crows.

Oh, my goodness.
He doesn't want to sue the league.

He wants to drive down
the asking price on the Crows.

Yep.
That's what this is all about.

Baptiste is a Trojan horse
for buying a football team.

- But we still represent Baptiste.
- Yes, but Goate is paying us.

If he gets the team,
he'll hire Baptiste.

All right, then no class action.

So... what do you think?

I think we should prepare
ourselves for trial.

Thank you.
But I thought you two did well.

Yes, but it's easier for the judge
to send you to trial than to dismiss.

Hey. If I were you,
I would be praying for a trial.

- I did my best.
- That should be your worry.

- Are you gonna be all right?
- I think so.

I have a backup plan if I need it.

All rise.

Be seated.

Thank you for your arguments.

I will admit that I am not
a fan of Charles Lester.

He's been in my court before,

representing some of
the lowest of the low.

But...

Mr. A.S.A., your evidence is a sham.
Worse than a sham.

I don't know where you got it,
or if you yourself created it...

No, no, I swear,
I did not, Your Honor.

Mr. Callas, you do yourself no favors
by interrupting my ruling.

This video, this deepfake,

shows the desperation of the prosecution
to railroad a possibly guilty man.

But how am I to tell?

I want you to wait by her car.

She may have a gun in the car,
so don't let her get in.

- Hello.
- Do you need something?

I think we have something
in common, Mr. Baruch.

- What's that?
- The same lawyer.

Carmen Moyo.

- You are...
- Oscar Rivi.

And I want to be clear with you,
Mr. Baruch.

If something happen to my lawyer,

I won't be happy.

In fact, I'll be very upset.

My business will suffer
without her.

And if my business suffer,

I'll make your business suffer.

You're probably wondering whether your
business can survive going against me.

I'm guessing it can't.

But why risk it?

If I were you,
I'd leave her alone.

She's a good lawyer.

Do we understand each other?

Good. I think you need to tell your man
not to meet her at her car.

Let it go.

Maybe we can do
some business together.

Carmen will arrange it.

And so, with these facts in mind, I have
no choice but to dismiss this case.

Mr. Lester, I would urge you
to find new friends.

Next time,
this will certainly go against you.

- Thank you, Your Honor, I will.
- No, you won't.

But unfortunately I have no choice
but to dismiss this trial

under Section 114 of the Illinois Code
of Criminal Procedure:

presenting false
or inaccurate evidence.

Thank you, Mr. Baruch.
I'm free!

Good job.
I guess I taught you well.

Yep, it all came down to you,
Professor.

I didn't...
Okay, whatever.

Thank you, Diane.
I couldn't have done it without you.

You know what?

I just realized how much I miss court.

I understand the two parties
have reached an agreement.

- We have, Your Honor.
- Ms. Hoff.

- We... apparently have, too, Your Honor.
- Good.

Maybe we can get back to some
good old-fashioned football.

- Congratulations.
- What did I get out of this?

I know you were looking for more than
money, but you should talk to Mr. Goate.

He bought out your former boss,
so he's probably looking for a coach.

Thank you.

- You think Goate's gonna hire him?
- No.

He wants the white coach.

So Goate manipulated us
into a do-gooder lawsuit

as leverage to buy a team.

It'll pay off if we stay loyal.
He likes loyalty.

Do you ever feel like we're
just janitors cleaning up shit?

Oh, yeah.

But well-paid janitors.

So, 72 hours later,
how'd it go?

- Well, strangely, very well.
- Excellent.

- No withdrawals?
- None.

- No floating?
- None.

- And were you in court?
- I was, and I kicked ass.

- With a smile.
- I'm glad to hear it.

Well, then I don't think
you need the treatment.

Well, what if I want
the treatment?

Well, that's up to you.
But if I were you...

You all right?

- I think so. You?
- Yeah.

Yes.
