The poor suckers have no idea
what they're being exposed to.

It'd be hilarious
if it wasn't so funny.

Morning, Raul.

What? I'm not doing anything.
Hagar wanted me to get a file.

Sounds great.
Have a good one.

Hey, Raul.
You get a haircut?

'Cause you look terrific.

Give me the number.

My husband's
always looking for a place.

Yeah, absolutely.

Rauuuul...

You forgot to sign...

Keith's birthday card.

Okay.

Oh.

Morning.

You want me to grab that for ya?

Uh, it's fine.
The mailbox is right there.

I'll just shove it in.
Right.

Wouldn't it be quicker
for you just to give it to me?

It's kind of sensitive
information. That's all.

Maybe it's something you
shouldn't be mailing, then.

Morning.

I'm afraid my parasitic illness
has progressed more rapidly

than doctors anticipated.

Scholls, would you...

Raul Chamgerlain
worked at the offices

of Hagar & Marmaduke

as a law clerk
until he was mailed to death

at 10:25 a.m. yesterday,
just missing the morning pickup.

Let me guess... Hagar
& Marmaduke represents Veggelon,

the largest industrial-farming
company in America.

Veggelon raised eyebrows
at the EPA

when they released
a new pesticide,

and a study was commissioned.

Once their lawyers got involved,

all of a sudden,
the study vanished.

Good guess.
That's exactly right.

Let me also guess...

Chamgerlain had
the goods on Veggelon

and was gonna sing
like a canary.

That's also exactly right,

and he missed the concert
because of his death. Oh.

I'm the most perceptive
person anyone's ever met,

and I still can't figure out
how this involves us.

Although,
you really dislike Tribeca.

Something happened between you.

That's ridiculous.

I love Tribeca.

Don't you people see?

The government is powerless

against
these giant corporations.

Sorry. Not powerless.

Paid by.

Veggelon has unleashed
this pesticide

on the town
of Cheyenne, Wyoming,

and in addition
to having to live there,

people are already experiencing
health issues.

But all their complaints

are being squashed
by Veggelon's lawyers.

So we're gonna take 'em down.

Hagar & Marmaduke, Veggelon,

and maybe a few townspeople

just to let 'em know
we're really serious.

Whoa.

So we're actually fighting
evil people

for the sake of innocent people.

We're the good guys.

You see, Tribeca, the Special
Division Force is a good force.

It's a force
for truth and justice.

Scholls, pass out
the phony law degrees.

Ooh.

In this case,
the patient regrew neurons

in the same area,
resulting in...

increased motor function
and tactile sensitivity

that continued to...

Mm. Mm. Mm.

This just feels wrong.

That's my phone.
Mm.

What about the team?

Don't you think
they're starting to suspect?

Oh, trust me, they're clueless.

Mm. Mm. They're so
going to plow-town.

That's my son.

Soon to be your grandson,
am I right?

What about the age difference?

You're 24. I'm 23.

Yeah, and in 20 years,
we'll both be the same age.

I just know this is
gonna go south somehow.

I'm counting on it.
Mm.

Wait, Murphy, who's driving?

Ms. Blatt, it is your contention
that the toxic pesticides

used by Veggelon have caused you
grievous and irreparable harm.

Objection.
Objection.

You do not have to answer that.

I don't?
No, you don't.

Excuse me, honey.
Give Mommy one second, okay?

I'm Conney Sparzner,

and I'll be representing
Ms. Blatt in this case.

I just got my law license after
15 years of being a homemaker.

My husband was laid off
from the deodorant plant,

so I kinda had
to pick up the slack.

We don't need to know all that.

Again, Ms. Blatt,
you're claiming

that you suffered harm due to
my client's use of pesticides.

And yet,
you seem perfectly fine.

In what way did
these FDA-approved pesticides

cause you any health issues?

I've been getting
headaches, nose bleeds,

and I've been diagnosed
with high blood pressure.

All of which could be
pre-existing conditions.

Ms. Sparzner, let me give you

your first real-world
experience as a lawyer...

You have no case,
and you're gonna lose.

This is America, where the evil
guys always win at first.

Then I guess I'll see you
later in the story.

We got this.

This pesticide is
some pretty nasty business.

It penetrates
the blood-brain barrier

and disrupts
the endocrine system.

It looks pretty innocuous.

How is it at killing pests?
Unbeatable.

Doesn't even compare to the
stuff you can get at the store.

Sir, no.

It'll have no effect
on the parasite.

I got to do something.

It's starting to affect my work,

and things are starting
to feel very loose inside.

Hey, don't worry
about it, Chief.

We've got you covered.
Charo and I go undercover

at Hagar & Marmaduke
this afternoon.

Scholls?
Headed to my new job

at Veggelon's
processing facility.

Tribeca?

I'm gonna go sit
with Dorothy Blatt

and hear her story, but
if I don't get back by 4:00,

I'm gonna have to pump again.

Oh.
Oh, what? I'm sorry.

Is my making food
for my child offending you?

And after that, we try
a motion for dismissal

on the grounds
of insufficient standing.

And if that doesn't work, we
move to disqualify the evidence.

- Any questions?
- Yeah, I have one.

Can you, uh, explain
the strategy

behind the defense
of Veggelon's pesticide?

That's what we've been doing
for the past hour and a half.

I'm sorry, who are you?

Uh, this is Morton...

Peppercorn.

He is one of the new associates.

And who are you?

Sh... That's, uh,
Marla... Flender.

The other new associate.

I wasn't aware that we brought
on any new associates.

Oh, yeah.
I-It was in the memo.

All right, Flender,

here's everything we have
on the plaintiff, Dorothy Blatt.

Find anything we can use
to discredit her.

Peppercorn,
research these precedents.

Find any support
for getting the evidence tossed.

You're Flender!
You're Peppercorn!

Okay.
Now get to work.

After the baby carrots
are pulled from their mothers,

they're brought here.

You see this robot?

It sorts the good carrots
from the bad.

Make sure it stays on.

Think you can handle it?

Seems easy enough.

Whoa!

You gotta wear these.

Never touch the carrots
with your bare hands.

Now glove up and get to it.

We have a shipment for the
preschool that leaves at 2:00.

Are you aware of the use

of dangerous pesticides
by Veggelon?

Listen, lady, I just train
people to keep the robot on

and to add dangerous pesticides
to the carrots.

Yep, I see it.

That's a parasite, all right.

Uh, I don't mean to question
your credentials, Dr. Zaius,

but as I remember,
you got your doctorate in Art?

Is the human body
not the world's

most beautiful piece of art?

I guess.

The theory of this treatment
is that the only thing

that can kill a parasite
is a more powerful parasite.

This is an egg salad sandwich
that was made on Monday.

Mm, that doesn't sound so bad.

Monday 2008.

Okay, now that you've
finished your snack,

let's begin your treatment.

Nurse, the specimen, please.

This is Cymothoa exigua,

the tongue-eating sea louse.

Once we introduce it
into your system,

it will begin consuming
everything inside your body,

hopefully beginning
with your parasite.

After that, it's just a race to
see who dies first... you or it.

I like my chances.

All right, here we go.

Oh, boy.
That's really on there.

All right, that's not moving.

You want me to give it a shot?

No, no, no. I got it.

I thought I felt it budge.

Oh, maybe it opens
the other way.

Nope.
That just tightened it.

Sometimes if you bang it,
then...

No, no, no.
This is coming off.

Wow! This just
does not want to budge.

Gah!
My hand's starting to hurt.

Oh, maybe if I use
the other hand.

That's ridiculous.

I don't have enough strength
in this hand.

Maybe your hands are sweaty?

Oh, they're very sweaty.
Okay, this is it.

This is the part
where I just pop it off

and everything gets moving.

Here we go.

Haahh!
Gosh darn it!

This thing's on really tight!

Maybe the key is to...

hit it suddenly!

Baaah!

I'm making this
more difficult than it is.

Sometimes if you run it
under warm wat...

No, the faucet's
all the way down the hall.

That seems like a waste of time.

Maybe if I push down on it
and then turn it...

Hey! Looky there!

Now we know how to do it.

So, it's push down and...

now it's not moving again.

Charo, check it out.

Dorothy Blatt is a total fraud.

Take a look.

She's been involved
in over 200 lawsuits.

She sued Crest Whitestrips

because they made
her teeth too white.

She sued Subway because
the stores were above ground.

And she sued Folgers because
it wasn't the best part

of waking up. Jesus.
5 aliases, 10 years in jail...

Yeah, and take a look
at her rap sheet.

What? She tried to rhyme
"miracle" with "spiritual"?

That's whack.
No. I'm no lawyer,

but I think this makes her
a vexatious litigant.

Which means that my mother's

fighting on
the wrong side. Again.

She's gonna lose her mind.

Exactly. That's why
we can't tell her.

What? What are
you talking about?

That's my mother.

You don't hatch
from someone's egg

and then keep secrets.
What?

If she finds out
that Blatt's a fraud,

she'll drop the case,
and Veggelon will win.

Is that what you want? No, but if
they didn't do anything wrong...

You saw the labs.
That stuff is poison.

You mom has to be on her game
and win this case.

Do you remember what happened
the last time she lost it?

She sent me away
to boarding school. I was 2.

Yeah, and how did that
make you feel?

The older kids
used to make fun of me

'cause my skull hadn't closed.

Veggelon has to lose this case.

You understand?

- I mean, I guess...
- They have to lose, okay?!

Okay, okay.

Good boy.

Your Honor, in light
of recent new evidence,

we would like to ask
that the case

of Blatt v. Veggelon
be dismissed.

And what new evidence is that?

That you guys are pure evil?

Order! Order! Order!

I'd like that medium rare.
Thank you.

Mr. Hagar, on what grounds

should I be dismissing
this lawsuit?

Exhibit A.

Neanderthal man.

And this is a record
of Dorothy Blatt's visit

to a doctor three years ago,

long before any exposure to
Veggelon's delicious pesticide.

And, as you can see,

the doctor has listed
as symptoms...

Headaches, nose bleeds,
and high blood pressure.

Pre-existing conditions.

Wait a second.

This isn't a medical record.

This is a blank job application
for Best Buy.

Damn it. She's got us.
Veggelon is ruined.

Make that check out
to "Fraud Squad, LLC."

That's the name
of my loan-out company.

This isn't right.
What are you doing?

I'm not gonna stand by and let
an innocent gigantic corporation

get trampled by
a single middle-aged woman.

Your Honor, I submit
that Dorothy Blatt,

a.k.a. Dorothy Blart,
a.k.a. Mrs. Stephen Blart,

a.k.a. Mrs. Stephen Conway,
a.k.a. Stephen Conway,

a.k.a.
Inmate Number 8675309,

has been the plaintiff
in over 200 lawsuits,

none of which have any merit.

Her real name
should be Sue Happy.

I remember you.

You sued Grape Nuts for being
neither grapes nor nuts.

Well, what the hell are they?!

Gravel-tastin' mutant cereal.

It is the opinion of this court

that the case
of Blatt v. Veggelon be dis...

Objection, Your Honor!

Permission to speak
to opposing counsel.

Flender, is it?

Oh, my God.

That's Flender.
That's Peppercorn.

Sure. I'll see
where you're going with this.

Oh, you're going over there.

Ow!
Why are you tanking my case?

We gotta take these guys down.

Your client is a fraud, Mama.

A criminal.

Yeah, well, you know
who else was a criminal? Me.

20 years' worth.

Just because this woman
had made a mistake

doesn't mean
she's not entitled to justice.

This isn't justice.
So, I guess...

It's on.

It's on, all right.

Your Honor, in spite of
everything that was just said...

No need to relive it...
I move not to dismiss the case,

but to continue it
under Statute... 21-C?

Of Wyoming Civil Code?

Continuance granted.

This court is in recess.

Have you two lost your minds?!

Sorry, I'm on edge.

I have an insatiable snail

eating every calorie
I take into my body.

This woman has a case.

It doesn't matter
who she was before.

The company has abused the law

and abused the rights
of our citizens.

Isn't that
what we're fighting for?

- No.
- No. No!

That's not exactly it.
Look, it's Dorothy Blatt,

or whatever her name is,
that's abusing the law here.

Law! Law! Law!

What part of "outside the law"

or "beyond the scope of normal
law enforcement" don't you get?

We're a Special Division Force,
not a Division Force.

The Vice President has lost
interest in this case,

and, therefore, so have we.

The company killed a man
for what he knew!

Companies kill people!

That's capitalism.

What are we, huh?

We just take and drop cases

as it suits
the Vice President's whims?

I spent 20 years in prison,

and this is
what the world is now?

Scholls?

You and I haven't
always seen eye-to-eye,

but you know
what this company is doing.

You've seen
their carrots up close.

Those defenseless,
little baby carrots.

I had a baby once.

And I loved him more
than I've ever loved anything.

And then I found out
that he was your baby.

And you took him from me,
and you sent him away

without even asking me
if I wanted to take care of him.

And now that baby's
all grown up, and he's back.

But he's still all yours.

And I come to work here every
day with my heart torn in half.

And I don't say a word about it.

That's what I've become.

That's the world now.

I didn't know.

Okay, can we get back
to my thing now?

Time to go, Tribeca.

We're moving out.

I'm not going anywhere.

Let justice be done
though the heavens fall.

This lawsuit is garbage.

I'm dismissing it immediately.

Yeah! Whoo!

This view taken?

Nah.
There's plenty to go around.

Whiskey?

Yeah, if you're drinking.

Looks like I lost my case.

Looks that way.

Felt good for a second.

You know?

Fighting for innocent people,

going up against the bully.

I was thinking about what
you said about the world now.

And I know A.J.'s not my son,
but he was once,

and this is the world
he's gonna inherit.

And maybe it can be
better than this.

Not with me as its lawyer.

Maybe you just need
a little expert advice.

Tribeca, this is my uncle,
Leonard Scholls.

Nice to meet you.

Beautiful night.

Whiskey?

I brought my own.

You know, I did
a little lawyering myself

back in my day.

You ever hear of Brown
vs. the Board of Education?

Yeah.

Well, I lost that one,

but I did pick up
a few things along the way.

Oh, yeah?

You need a class-action suit.

No.

They can tie that up for years.

They have the money
and the manpower.

Not if you can convince
the majority of your plaintiffs

to opt for binding arbitration.

Binding arbitration?
Mm-hmm.

That's it. Then the court
has to hear it immediately.

That's the exact solution
from "Erin Brockovich."

Uncle Leonard, you're a genius.

Yeah, well,
Earl Warren didn't think so,

but I appreciate the thought.

Yes, Mr. Vice President.

Okay. Joe.

Everything went
exactly according to plan.

Charo played them
like a Stradivarius.

It's a kind of violin.

Veggelon's going to be bankrupt
after this,

leaving all of Wyoming open
for French development.

I told some cockamamie story
about missing my baby,

and they ate it up.

Okay, sweetheart.

I love you.

No,you hang up fir...

Oh.

You did.
