A beer stein.

From...

the Lighthouse
Festival.

It was a good day.

Save or sell?

Sell.

Make room for
new memories.

Hey, Grandma,
can I get that lamp?

Sure, honey.

Hey, Ma, should I put
this stuff at the curb?

Yeah. That'd be great,
sweetheart, thanks.

KATE:
Can, uh...

throw a red scarf over it.

It'll make my room moody.
DEB:
No.

A 16-year-old's room
shouldn't be moody.

DARLENE:
Come on. You and the girls

used to dance around your room

with that strobe light.

You remember?

I remember.
KATE:
She thinks it's

a slippery slope from mood
lighting to teen pregnancy.

DEB:
Oh, I don't worry

about teen pregnancy.

'Cause if I ever caught you
having sex,

I would hunt the boy down
and I would kill him.

No sex till
you're married.

Then you have my blessing.

As long as he's got a good job

and a good gene pool.

Ma, I'm taking this stuff
home with me.

Okay, honey.

(Kate groans)

She worries about you.

It's normal.
KATE:
Well, I'm just hanging on

for college.

Then I'll be on my own.

That's what she
worries about.

Plus, she knows that sex
can be kind of...

intoxicating.
(chuckles)

Did you have sex with Grandpa
before you got married?

Yes, we had sex.

No, we didn't
tell anyone

about it; yes, my mother
would've killed me and him.

Yes, we were safe.

And, yes, it was fun.

Come here.

Your mother is pushing
abstinence.

I'd recommend
using good judgment.

(chuckling):
Okay, thanks.

Hide the lamp
in the hall closet.

You can sneak it out later.

Thanks, Grandma.

Carbon "ethyline"?

E-N-E. Carbon ethylene.

It's an additive
for aviation fuels

that Contar Chemical makes
in a plant outside of Ridgewell.

When did you realize that
your daughter was sick?

Four years ago.

Clara started saying
that her stomach felt

like it was on fire.

Turns out that carbon
ethylene had leaked

into the town's groundwater.

Compromised the lining
of her digestive tract.

Mr. Koeneke, when you made
the appointment,

you mentioned
you were already part

of a class action lawsuit
against Contar Chemical.

I am.
Then I guess I'm not

exactly sure
how we can help you.

People started getting sick
five years ago.

So they contacted the CEO
of Contar, Lou Morris,

who said it had nothing
to do with them.

So they hired a lawyer
and filed a lawsuit,

but this lawsuit isn't
going anywhere. It's two years

from a court date,
let alone

a settlement.

I think we need new lawyers,
lawyers that are gonna...

push a little harder.
I know

a lot of lawyers
at Jessup Markum, Mr. Koeneke.

Smart,

solid people, and I suspect
that they are doing

a very good job for you.

If Stark & Rowan stepped in,

we'd need to get familiar
with the facts of the case.

She's right.
We'd slow you down.
Not speed you up.

There... must be
something you can do.

I wish there was.

How's your daughter doing?

She's up and down.

But there's
this experimental treatment

that, given Clara's age...

(clears throat)

uh, might...

cure her completely but...

insurance won't cover it.

I don't have the money
to pay for it.

MARTINA:
I'm really sorry

that we can't help
you, Mr. Koeneke.

Me, too.

You know, Clara's
lucky to have a dad

who won't stop trying
to figure this stuff out.

New lawyers might have
been my last idea.

Look, I understand your
frustration with the process.

I was a prosecutor
in Trenton.

I've been at Stark & Rowan
for three months, and...

I'm still not used to the
pace of civil trials.

It seems unfair
that if you punched the CEO

of Contar Chemical in the face,

you'd be in court in a week.

(elevator bell dings)
But...

they've got the luxury
of making you wait for years.

Thanks for meeting with me.

My family will...

light a candle
for your daughter.

Thanks.

Do, dee, do, do

Do, dee, do, do

Do, dee, do, do...

GAVIN:
Robby,

watch it with the water.

Robby, put that thing down.
Why aren't
you grilling?

I'm hungry.
Your mom didn't tell us
to put the food on yet.

What?
We don't start cooking
until she says so.

Where is she?
Her and Deb are talking
about something upstairs.

I don't know what
you were thinking.
Sweetheart, sweet... I was just

being honest.
What's going on?

DEB:
Mom told Kate

that she and Dad had sex
before they were married.

And not just that
you had sex,

that you enjoyed it.
Well...

I better get that food
on the grill.

Let me know if
you need any help.

Ma.
Look at you.
You lost weight?

DEB:
Ma.

Don't change
the subject.

I am not.
You told Kate,

she told a bunch of her friends,

and now I'm the poster parent
for sex before marriage.

Uh, should I get a bowl
for the fruit?

Yes, please.
Listen,

my 16-year-old granddaughter
asked me a direct question.

What am I supposed to do?

Lie. Like I did
when she asked me.

Oh, come on.
You said

that you were a virgin
when you were married?

Shut up.
Good one.

Her counselor called
and left a message.

Apparently other parents
are upset.

I haven't called him back

because I don't know
what to say.

Get Ma to call.
Talk about what a stud Dad was.

(phone rings)
You're not helping.

How many times do we have
to go through this?
Martina Garretti.

Does Kate have a boyfriend?

Is that why

she's asking?
Oh, my God.

(yelps)
I didn't even
think of that.

Honey, honey...

(sighs)
Ma.

I'm so sorry. I got to go.

Well, wh-why?

I got to get a
guy out of jail.

Good luck to you, honey.

Martina, thanks for coming down.

I did not tell you

to punch the CEO of Contar
Chemical in the face.

I lost my head.

After I left your office,
the doctor called

with some bad test results
for Clara, and...

it just got me thinking
of what would happen

if I punched Lou
Morris in the face.

So I went to this
Man of the Year thing,

and I did it.

Now there's got to be
a trial, right?

He's gonna have
to take the stand

and testify about everything.

Yeah, the trial's gonna be
about you punching him.

Not about
whether Contar Chemical

did or did not poison
your groundwater.

He poisoned my groundwater.

Will you defend me
and get Morris

to admit what he did
to my little girl?

I'm gonna try.

Okay?

I will try.

Look at me

I know that I can make it

It's got to be

And you can't change me

I've got to dream

And no one's gonna break me

This is who I want to be

There's so much more to me

Nothing can stop me now.

DONOVAN:
As a representative
of this firm,

you have a responsibility

to think before you speak.

I know.
This is not

Thanksgiving dinner,

where you can say
whatever you want.

I know.
This is a law firm.

When people come to us,
they are vulnerable.

Yes, sir.
We do not encourage them
to do stupid things.

In her defense...
You were the senior

associate in the meeting.

Blame goes up,
this is your fault.

Yes, sir.
This was not

Nolan's fault.
I-It was all my fault, okay?

I'm very, very

sorry.

I will choose my words
more carefully.

Yes, you will.

MARTINA:
I do feel

a responsibility
to help Mr. Koeneke.

Then refer him to
an excellent lawyer.

Sir, it's an assault case.

He's got a sympathetic story.

A jury's not gonna want
to convict him.

Y-You can't argue
for nullification.

If you tell the jury

to try to ignore
the facts

and find him not guilty,
the bar will censure you.

No, I won't have to tell 'em
to do anything.

What with the daughter's
bad medical results

and Contar Chemical's
stalling tactics

in the class action suit,
I can build

a crime of passion defense.

Look, the jury's gonna get to
nullification all on their own.

The prosecution
isn't gonna roll over

and let you introduce
emotional testimony.

No, but I'll get
latitude on intent.

So I'll get a bit in here
and a bit in there.

The prosecution's not gonna call
Lou Morris to the stand.

But I can call him,
and hopefully, by then,

I'll have found a way to ask
about the groundwater poisoning.

You want to try the
class action suit

using the assault case.

I just want to give the
civil case a shot in the arm.

That's risky.
Look...

I feel horrible
about what happened,

and I am committed
to fixing the mess I created.

Please.

Much of the success of this firm

is the result
of the innovative thinking

from its best and its brightest.

Last year,

Contar made me participate
in a bake-off

for their secondary IPO.
They didn't hire us.

They should have.

Stark & Rowan

will represent Mr. Koeneke.

Thank you.

If you lose,

your nice client
goes to jail.

Then let's not lose.

I know Hank Wilson.

He's the lead counsel for
the class action lawsuit.

I will ask him
if he can help us out.

Great. Thank you.

Shows you what I know.
I thought Ed Koeneke was

one of my calmer plaintiffs.
Well, he needs money

for a medical treatment
to help his daughter.

He didn't think it through.

I can't blame him.

I've been working class action
suits my entire career,

and Contar is one of
the squirmiest companies

I've ever faced.

What can I do for you?

We're going with a crime
of passion defense, Hank,

and we would love to have access
to your background materials,

so that we don't have
to reinvent the wheel.
I've got a thousand boxes

full of documents,
you know?
Well, we don't need science.

We just need emotion--
memos, transcripts

of town hall meetings.
Any contact Contar had

with the affected families
that might establish

the company was responsible
for Ed's state of mind.

And then, we're gonna put
CEO Morris on the stand

just to drive it home.
Let me tell you
something about Morris.

Lou Morris is smart. He's not
gonna say anything helpful.

That's our problem, not yours.
He's probably
putting pressure

on the D.A. to keep the thing
from even going to trial.

If Stark & Rowan succeeds

and we get Morris on the stand
and he says anything

interesting,
that goes

on the record.
That helps you.

I got three years
in this thing, man.

If Ed Koeneke comes
across as unstable,

that's bad for me.

And he knows that,
and if at any moment

you feel like this thing
is going south, Ed has agreed

to plead guilty.

(sighs)

I'll have my paralegals
put together some material.

You're a prince among men.

Thank you. We owe you.

Yeah, you owe me.

Dad!

GAVIN:
Kitchen!

What happened?

Uh...

last night one of the kids

stuffed a turkey dog
down the drain.

Okay, look, I reviewed your
contract for the Murphy job.

They want you to
pay treble damages

if you're unable
to perform services

due to an act of God.

What?
It's ridiculous,
and not even legal.

Look, I crossed
out the changes.

You just need to
leave your initials.

DARLENE:
Hey, good morning, sweetheart.
Hey.

You know what I've decided?
What?

I'm gonna quit my job.

Since when?

Since two minutes ago.

I really want to learn
a musical instrument.

Maybe take up bridge.

You know, they're teaching
it as school now, to help
out the kids with math.

Ma, it just seems,
uh... pretty sudden.

After 25 years,
I think it's time.

And we finished paying off
the house four months ago.

So we don't need
the money, right?

I guess not.

(giggles, claps)

(quiet sigh)

Math is important.

Hi.
MAN (on video):
And the advancements
in additive chemistry

have been matched by the
creative ways this industry...

That's your punch-ee.

Lou Morris.

Some talk he gave
at an industry breakfast.

Okay, here's my interview
with the nurse

who gave Ed his
test results.

She'll testify he was
very emotional.

So test results
the morning of the punch

gets you state of mind.
Mm-hmm.

Did you get anything
from the country club?

Oh...

His bio in here?

Does he admit
to poisoning the groundwater?

Hah. Not that I saw.
'Cause that would

make it a lot easier
to introduce

the class action facts
into the assault trial.

I'll read it again.

I did talk to a couple employees
who worked the event,

including... the busboy

Ooh.
who delivered ice cubes

to the men's room for
Lou Morris's bloody nose.

What did he have to say?
Apparently,

our client has a mean left hook,
but nothing else helpful.

(sighing):
Okay...

Did anyone overhear conversation
between our guy and Lou Morris?

Nobody I talked to
was even close enough.

Anything in the boxes?

Oh, we just started
going through those.

(phone rings)
Mm.

Hey, Tommy.

Meet? Uh, sure.

You'll come by my office--
that's, uh, nice,

but... I'm not there right now.

Yeah, how about
in an hour?

Yeah, I'll text
you the place.

Okay.

Bye.

(laughs)

Why aren't you in your office?

Uh... that was a-a friend
from the D.A.'s Office.

I know why he's calling,
and him coming here

is not gonna get me what I need.

Working for a fancy
Midtown firm, I thought
you'd be busier than this.

You're catching me
on my way somewhere.

Aren't I always?

Sorry.

What can I do for you, Tommy?

I've been sent with an offer.

No.

(laughs) Don't you want
to hear it first?

You know, if Ed Koeneke
had coldcocked Lou Morris

someplace private, then Lou
wouldn't have pressed charges.

But I bet the D.A. is
under a lot of pressure

to settle this case
instead of taking it to trial.

Apparently, I didn't have
to take a bus to the park.

Not for an offer of,
uh, misdemeanor assault

and a fine, no jail time?

Close enough.
Still no.

Fine. We'll drop
the assault charges...
MARTINA: Clara!

Hey!

Very sneaky, Garretti.

Clara, this is Tommy.

Hi. Uh...
Hi.

How you doing?
Hi. Good.

How are you?
You and your dad

having fun in the city?
Yeah.

My dad took me on a ferry ride.
MARTINA:
You know,

there is a shaved-ice
cart right behind

that statue-- I bet
there's something you'd like.

Tell your dad I'm buying.

Thanks!

You're welcome.

The boat's getting away.

Go get it.

She needs medical attention
my client can't afford.

That's why I can't
accept your offer.

I need to get
Lou Morris on the stand.

Well, we can drop the charges
without your permission.
Oh, you do that,

and I'll be on every
TV station in New York

talking about how the D.A.
is in the pocket

of the corporate polluters.

(chuckles) Good luck
getting two reporters

to show up to that
press conference.

I have gotten media traction
on a lot less.

Your boss know
what you're doing?
Yeah.

And he's very supportive.

Fine. You got your trial.

You prosecuting this case?

No. Smart guy named Arjun
Gupta pulled the ticket.

Oh. Well, good.

I'd hate for you to be
on the wrong end of this.

I am thinking good thoughts
for the start

of your trial tomorrow.
Thank you.

Is this for the guy

you made punch
the CEO of Contar Chemical?

That's not quite
how it happened.

Well, I didn't mean you
physically made him do it.
I didn't think

that's what you meant.

But you're still wrong.

Riley, you know, I think
if you send this document

to the bizhub, it's gonna
print about 50 times faster.

She's trying.
I know,

but small talk should
not be that hard.

Good night.

Hey.

Hey.

I had a paralegal
do a brief

of crime-of-
passion case law.

Hm. That was nice.

Thank you.
You're welcome.

You got a big day tomorrow.

Big day.

This is background
on the prosecution's witness.

And a list for
the party guests

that I was able
to track down,

plus a chart showing
the relationship

between the CEO
and those guests.

Thanks.

You're gonna be fine.

Do I look nervous?

Just around your face.

Look, right now, I am relying
on the prosecution's witnesses

to corroborate on my
crime-of-passion defense,
and I don't like that.

I might be able to help.

Today, I was running down a list
of the homeowners in Ridgewell.

One of the houses
is owned by a trust.

I dug into it-- guess
who the trustee is?

Uh, I have no idea.

But you sound excited,
which makes me excited.

Lou Morris.

Did he ever live in it?
I don't know yet.

Buthe bought it back in
2004 from a Brian Holloway.

Now, according
to the DMV,

Mr. Lou Morris lived in
a big house in Riverdale,

so, if he moved out
of the danger zone

and Ed knew about it...

Then it could open up
the door for me.

Lou Morris would be
my corroborating evidence

in my crime-of-passion defense.

Please make it so?
I have a call in

to Ed to ask
him if he knew.

I'll let you know as
soon as I hear back.
Okay, but even

if he didn't know about it,
it's still a juicy fact

for the class action suit.

Nice job, Riv.

Sitting in your garden room

(knocking on door)
Watching the flowers grow...

Hi, Ma.
Hi, sweetie.

(chuckling)

What you got there?

Dinner. You know
you never take the time to eat

when you got a big trial.

Guy with a
sick kid--

I know you're gonna go
all out for this.

But you're no good to nobody
on an empty stomach, so...

here you go.
Thanks, Ma.

Sure.

Oh... Is that what you're
gonna wear tomorrow?

Yeah.

Nobody could pull off
mustard, sweetheart,

not even a girl
as pretty as you.

Okay, what's going on?

The sex talk

with Kate, the brutal honesty,
the life-changing decisions--

where's it all coming from?

Ten days ago, I had my yearly.

One of the blood tests showed
some irregular levels,

so the doctor sent me
to have an ultrasound.

They saw a shadow
on my liver, and...

Oh, my God, Mom...

No, no, I'm sorry, honey,
I'm being overdramatic.

Look, they did a follow-up
MRI-- turns out that it was

just some scarring
from surgery.

But it was a...

tense couple of days.

But you're fine.

Totally fine.

(sighs)
I just realized

that you never know
what's gonna happen.

I could get hit
by a car tomorrow.

So I am trying

to live without regrets.

And my mustard shirt's
gonna give you regrets?

Mm, if you lost-- and,
of course, you won't--

but if you did, I'd be left
wishing I'd said something.

(chuckles)
Thanks for dinner, Mom.

You know what?

That guy is very lucky
that you're his lawyer.

Yeah. Let's hope he still
thinks so afterthe trial.

You're up, Mr. Gupta.

This case...
is about Ed Koeneke,

who punched a man in the face

in front of 200witnesses.

His defense attorney is going

to try and tell you
that this case

is about something other
than that fact.

It's called jury nullification.

Which means that
she is going to try

and drown the law...
in a wave of emotion

and life circumstances.

But I know you folks
won't fall for it.

This was an assault.

Open and shut.

The facts of this case
aren't even in dispute.

Ms. Garretti knows that.

Which is why she's going to try

and fool you into thinking
the facts don't matter.

But she should have known better

than to waste
your valuable time.

I'm gonna trust you
to be smart enough

to decide if
I've wasted your time.

WOMAN:
And they'd just served the salad

when I saw the defendant

walking toward our table.

Was Mr. Morris saying
anything inflammatory

as the defendant
approached?

(laughs):
Definitely not.

Lou was telling me
about his Corgi,

Marmalade.
So Mr. Morris

was talking about a dog,

and Mr. Koeneke

just walked up and punched him
without provocation?

Objection!
Calls for speculation.

She doesn't know
why he punched him.

Sustained.

No further questions.

I will let you answer
the D.A.'s question

about Mr. Koeneke's
demeanor,

but I assume you thought
he seemed pretty calm.

Yes, he did.
Verycalm.
And should I trust

your judgment?

'Cause you seem like
a violent hothead.

Objection.
Argumentative.

Your Honor, she is opining
on my client's state of mind.

The way that she moves
through the world

seems relevant
to her assessment.

I'll allow it.

For aminute.

You can answer.

I am not a violent hothead.

You sure?

You never flipped off a guy
who cut you off in traffic?

Of course not.

Okay, so you're not a person

who gets angry.

Of course I get angry.

But you don't show it?
Not like that.

Okay, so maybe it is possible
that my client,

instead of being calm when
he approached Lou Morris,

was actually full
of profound feelings.

I suppose.

Feelings about how
his nine-year-old daughter

contracted a painful and
debilitating digestive dis...
Objection!

Ms. Garretti.

Withdrawn.

No further questions.

So you think it's okay I'm
not at the trial every day?

At a trial like this,
I don't think

the jury focuses on whether
family shows up or not.

Well, it's just that Clara's
got so many appointments.

It would be hard to
reschedule them all.

Mrs. Koeneke, Martina's
got plenty of fight in her.

All right? You don't worry
about your husband.

He's in good hands.

This is the one.

Ed told me he didn't
know Lou Morris owned it.

I thought Contar
Chemical owned it.

What made you think that?

Well, it was empty

when we moved into the
neighborhood seven years ago,

but then one day,
I saw someone there.

I went over to, you know,
introduce myself.

Thought it was
a new neighbor.
Uh-huh.

But it turned out
the guy was working

as a consultant
for the plant.

He was in the house for a couple
of weeks, and then he was gone.

He said his name
was Brian Holloway.

I heard he moved
to Riverdale.

So they use it for
temporary housing?

Well, they did back then.

I think it's been completely
empty for four or five years.

That's a lot of money to pay
for a house that sits empty.

I just assumed they didn't want
any company people near us.

Make sure they didn't say
anything they shouldn't

about the... the lawsuit.

Could be.

Do you think
it's something else?

I don't know.

But I do think it's
worth looking into.

ARJUN:
After the defendant

punched Mr. Morris, you grabbed
him and pulled him away?

Yes. Uh, me and another guy.

ARJUN:
Did the defendant say anything?

Yes. He...

Well, he called Lou
an expression for, uh,

poultry fecal matter.

Chicken, I assume.

MAN:
Yes.

Did he admit to the police
what he had done?

Yes.

Thank you.
No further questions.

Did Mr. Koeneke
call Lou Morris a...

...before or after the punch?

After.
And what was
his tone?

Did he seem angry?

ARJUN:
Objection.

Calls for speculation.

Your Honor,
we all know

when people sound angry.

Overruled.

Yes, he sounded angry.

MARTINA:
According to the
Urban Dictionary,

the phrase refers to

"people who are cowardly."

Any idea why my
client would be

so angry
that Mr. Morris was a coward?

Objection.

MARTINA:
Withdrawn.

No further questions.

Mr. Roberts is excused,
Your Honor.

And at this time,

the People would like
to call our final witness...

Martina Garretti.

What's going on?

Your Honor, that is so far
from the realm of reasonable,

I don't even know
what to object to.

Counsel, please approach.

We want to question
Ms. Garretti

about a conversation
she had with her client

before the assault
on Mr. Morris.

MARTINA:
Did Mr. Gupta skip a year
of law school, Your Honor?

Using his words,
that was a conversation

I had with my client.
I would invoke privilege.

ARJUN:
We have it on good authority

that Ms. Garretti
incited Mr. Koeneke

into this assault.

Emolo v. Emolo makes it clear
that privilege wouldn't apply.

We'll remove the jury
while I determine

if this is a worthwhile
line of questioning.

Am I supposed to question
myself? I need counsel.

Office full of attorneys,

I assume you can find one
by morning.

Your Honor,
you can't let him make

an allegation
like this with no proof.

You may bethat proof,
Ms. Garretti.

We'll see you on the stand,
tomorrow morning, 9:00.

We're done
for the day.

Well, how many people did Ed
tell about your conversation?

Okay, look, he says
he told one friend,

but who knows how many
people that guy told?

Case this small, there's no way
the DA sent an investigator out,

so... Contar must have
hired somebody.

You've got them nervous.
Yeah.

Well, that's the good news,
but the really bad news is

that once the jury
hears what I said,

my crime-of-passion defense
is dead.

It'll seem
premeditated.
Right...

Which, you know,
it kind of was.
Right.

And we're
making headway.

I can tell the jury
really likes Ed.

And Riv's going
to talk to that guy

who sold Morris that house
in Ridgewell.

You need to keep
your conversation

with Ed away from the jury.

I probably shouldn't
handle your questioning,

'cause I was there for
the first part of the meeting.

But...
So, how did it go?

Uh, looks like the prosecution's
going to rest

without calling Morris
to the stand.

That's what we expected.

Now, you get to call him
as a hostile witness.

I enjoy a hostile witness.

I'm sure you'll get him
to say exactly

what you need him to.

Enjoy your dinner.

Thank you.
Mm-hmm.

You're not gonna tell him
that you got called?

I like to fix a problem before
I tell my boss there is one.

If you can't represent me,
who am I gonna turn to?

ARJUN:
It's my understanding

you had a conversation with
Mr. Koeneke where you told him

you wouldn't represent him
in an outstanding legal matter.

Is that accurate?

It is.

And then what happened?

I walked him to the elevator.

So did you happen
to say anything else

to him before he left?

I said my family would light
a candle for his daughter.

I'm sure you did.
Did you also say,

it seemed unfair
that if he punched a CEO

of Contar Chemical in the face,
he'd be in court in a week?

I did.

No further questions.

What made you say that
to Mr. Koeneke?

Objection! Relevance.

Your Honor, based on a remark

made at the end of a meeting,

prosecution is alleging
Ms. Garretti

incited a client
to violence.

Without knowing the full
conversation, we couldn't

possibly understand her state of
mind when she made that comment.

No. What he said
to her isn't the issue.

Only the impact
her statement had

on the defendant's
subsequent actions.

Whether her statement
was affected by context

is a triable
issue of fact.

I'll allow it.

Ed Koeneke was emotional
when he came to our offices.

His insurance wouldn't cover
a medical procedure

that might cure
his nine-year-old daughter,

who he believes got sick

because Contar Chemical polluted
the groundwater in his town.

Their stalling tactics...

Your Honor, this is a court
of law, not the op-ed page.

If Mr. Gupta prefers,
I can ask individual questions

to take us through the substance
of the meeting.

I can even include one about
Lou Morris not showing up

to a meeting with the
citizens of Ridgewell

that he himself scheduled.

This whole process will
just take longer.

This horse looks like
a loser, Counselor.

We withdraw Ms. Garretti
as a witness.

Prosecution rests.

You can step down, Ms. Garretti.

We'll start your side of
the case when we reconvene.

I would never ever,
never, never, ever...

Were you ever going
to tell us about the doctor?

What was I going to say?
I had some appointments.

Everything turned out fine.

Yeah, that might have been
better than just launching into

this whole truth program
with no warning.

I like it.

Never have to second-guess
a conversation.

Yeah, I'll like it, too.

Once she takes care of Kate.

DARLENE:
Kate's fine.

Oh, yes, a young woman
with a bright future.

She's at school right now
directing the fall play.

Hello!
Except she's probably

talking to the cast about sex
before marriage.

Ugh! That's not what I meant,
and you know it.

She is 16. She hears
what's most interesting,

whether it's what you meant
or not.

And now I got parents
looking at me crossways.

You need to make it right.

Okay, fine.

If it's that important
to you, I will talk to her.

Thank you.
You're welcome.

I wasn't done
with that.

Sorry.

Don't you go away

I want to
Don't ask me to stay

I want to...
Don't you go away

I want to
Don't ask me to stay

I want to...

RIV:
Hi.

I assume you
live here, right,

and you're not just
stealing children's toys?

Depends. Are you the,
uh, toy police?

(laughs)
Not hardly.

You know, my family
and I-- we're, uh...

we're moving to this
area from New York City,

and I drove down to
check out neighborhoods.

You know, wondering,
what do you, uh...

what you think of this one?

It's a great place.

Lots of kids everywhere,
uh, very family-friendly.

Yeah? Well,
what-what about the schools?

It's like anywhere else.
You got to make sure

your kids do the work, but, uh,

I've liked the teachers.

Daddy! Daddy!
Daddy!
You, uh...

You lived here a while?

Almost eight years.

Came up from Ridgewell.

What brought you to Cherry Hill?

New job.

Ah. Me, too.

I'm in construction.

Production management

for, uh, Downton Fertilizer.

I've never met anyone
who works in fertilizer before.

You... What, you gotta
have, like,

your own fleet of cows
to get that job?

Thankfully, no.

Uh, my brother-in-law
owns a chemical company

that makes an additive
for the stuff.

He, uh, hooked me up.

You know, my
brother-in-law--

he just sits around,
drinks all my beer.

I'm glad you got
one that's helpful.

Well...

Thanks for talking
to me, man.
Yeah.

Hey! Hey!

DONOVAN:
So Lou Morris got
his brother-in-law a job,

then bought
the family's house

so they could move
out of Ridgewell?
Yes.

Almost two years
before anyone else knew

there was a problem
with the groundwater.

It's a great piece of evidence
for the class action lawsuit.

Oh, whenever that
gets to trial.

So you don't think
you've established relevance

in order to question him about
it during the criminal trial?

No.
Have you gone through
his published comments?

Did he ever talk
about the community being safe,

or anything related
to real estate values?

We checked, but he always sticks
to a denial-of-liability script,

like it was written
by his lawyers.

Look, I'm starting my case
tomorrow.

I think nullification
is a slam dunk.

Ed will be sympathetic.

The nurse will say

he got emotional
about the test results.

With just those two pieces
of testimony,

no way the jury convicts.

But you're not sure
about calling Lou Morris?

I think it's a mistake.

I agree.

Don't try
to trick him into admitting

prior knowledge
about the groundwater poisoning.

If you fail, it
gives him credibility.

Which might make Ed
seem out of line punching him.

It could push the jury
to a guilty verdict.

So, we need
to question Lou Morris,

just not in front of a jury.

Hello, Peter.
(chuckles)

Donovan.

My office said
you were on the way.

To what do I owe the pleasure?
Well, I wish

I could say it was the private
label scotch the club serves,

but I'm afraid
it's just business.

Ah, what's this?

A subpoena.

You're calling me
as a witness?

As Contar's
corporate counsel,

did going to that
"Man of the Year" banquet

count as billable hours?

How many guests
are you calling?
Well, we dug up

the names of almost 200

Lou Morris friends and
colleagues that were there.

Oh, you know
who else we found?

The busboy who brought
the ice cubes

to the bathroom
for Lou's bloody nose.

And the funny thing
about busboys is...

people forget they're there,

and then they say
the darndest things

in front of them.

What do you really want?
Our client wants

Lou Morris to talk
on the record

about carbon ethylene.

Now, we can do it
for the assault trial,

but it'll be more embarrassing
for your client and his friends.

As a professional courtesy,
I'm offering you an alternative.

Tell your client to give
his deposition in the
class action lawsuit.

He's not prepared
for his deposition.

Peter, I've read all
the public statements.

You've been prepping him
for this since the day
the case was filed.

He's gonna have to give
his deposition eventually.

It's just a question of time.

(sighs)

I don't like
being bullied.
I don't like

that Stark & Rowan was
left out of Contar's
secondary offering

when you decided to help
your soon-to-be-indicted
college roommate.

So why don't we call it
even and move on.

What do you say?

No friends?

No busboys?

Not a one.

(heavy sigh)

He went for it.

RILEY:
Martina?

Oh, uh, good.

I was, uh, looking for you.

What is this?

A gift.
For what?

For helping me out
the other day.

What's this?

A bill.

For $500.

You were in court

for, like, ten minutes.

I had to prepare.

I had to get there and back.

I'm not gonna lie;
this is awkward.

Hmm.

If I wasn't kidding.

Give me that.

(laughing)

Okay...

Oh...

You should've seen your face.

You should've seen yours.

HANK:
And, to the best
of your knowledge,

Contar Chemical was unaware

of any issue in Ridgewell
until notified

by the EPA on April 12, 2006?

Mm-hmm, that's correct.

(phone vibrating)
So, uh...

it's your sworn testimony
that, uh,

until the letter from the EPA
was received,

Contar Chemical in general,
or you, as its CEO,

didn't know about
the carbon ethylene problem?

Yes.
How many times you gonna
ask the same question, Hank?

Oh, sorry I'm late.

Who's she?

Lawyer for the man
who punched you.

My client did
not come here today

to answer questions
about the criminal trial.

That's not why she's here.

She's been added
as special counsel

to the class action suit.

Look, Mr. Morris,

this is a deposition,
not a courtroom.

Your lawyer's gonna keep you
from answering any questions

he doesn't want on the record.

And if you walk now,

it'll look bad-- like you're
not confident in your position.

Five minutes.

Thank you.

Uh, you live in,
uh, Riverdale, right?

Yes, I do.

Is that your signature?

What's that document?

It's a signature page
from the deed to his house.

It's not a trick question.

Yes, that's my signature.

Okay. Here's the tricky part.

This isn't a deed to the house
in Riverdale; it's for the one

in Ridgewell.
You bought your
sister's house

on October 28, 2004,

didn't you,
Mr. Morris?
Don't say a word, Lou.

He doesn't have to; I've got
the documentation right here.

Let the record reflect

that Lou Morris
bought that house

and moved his sister
and her family

away from Ridgewell
almost two years

before the letter
from the EPA.

It's time for you to take
responsibility, Mr. Morris.

DARLENE:
Hey, hey.

I know why I'm here.

Mom wants you to say
you had a stroke

and started rambling
to me about sex.
Yeah, well,

I'll talk to her later.

You don't have any
of the same restrictions

I had when I was a girl, honey.

You can be anything
you want. Anything.

And yet...

there is still this idea

that you should be
embarrassed

about sexual desire.

That's crazy,

because you will,
and you should,

feel and want things

with the same
intensity as a man.

And that doesn't mean
that you are...

some kind of bad girl.

I stand by what I said.

You have to drive a car
before you buy it.

Otherwise,
you could end up with...

I don't know, cloth,
when what you really wanted

was leather.

Okay.

But you'll notice that

I didn't say any of these things
to your classmates,

because guess what,
I don't know them.

I didn't tell that many people.

(slaps leg)
One is too many.

I'm sorry.

So our new motto...

is "more honesty, less sharing."

Got it, Grandma.

I believe you're up,
Ms. Garretti.

The defense rests,
Your Honor, and...

if the prosecution
is willing,

we'd like to move straight
to closing arguments.

You okay with this?
Yes, sir, Your Honor.

You ready to close, Mr. Gupta?

Sure.

The defense has waived
its right to call witnesses,

so we're moving
to closing statements.

You have all gleaned
that there is more

to this case than
just a simple assault.

I'd like to tell you
about the deposition

the CEO of Contar Chemical
gave this morning...

Objection.

...but I can't.

What I can tell you,
ladies and gentlemen,

is that ADA Gupta,
he was right about one thing.

I was going to try
to convince you

to ignore the facts
of this case.

I was gonna get Ed Koeneke
to pull on your heartstrings,

to tell you that
he punched Lou Morris

'cause he blamed him
for his daughter's illness.

And while that's the truth,

the fact is,
he still punched him.

And Ed and I
have realized that...

you need to find him guilty.

We know that's going to be hard.

He's a loving father, and you're
gonna want to side with him.

But you need
to put aside those feelings

and convict Ed Koeneke
of assault...

'cause he wants to take
responsibility for his actions,

even if Contar Chemical
refused to do so for theirs.

We agree.

Find him guilty.

Hey.

Hey.

Ta-da!
You know it's illegal

to drink in the park, right?

Well, it's not open, so...

technically,
you're just holding

a really nice bottle
of Irish stout.

Jury's not even back yet.

It's a little early
for your concession bottle.

I asked to lose.

How much easier could
I make it for him?

I'll talk to Arjun,
see if he can ask

the judge
for a suspended sentence.

Thanks.

You know, it's illegal
to drink in the park.

Really?

Tell me you at least

helped your
class action lawsuit.

Yeah, I hear
Contar Chemical

implemented a "long-planned"
escrow account

to cover medical expenses.

My client's gonna get
money for his daughter.

Not an admission
of guilt, but...

I'll take it.

Stark & Rowan gonna see
any of that settlement?

(laughing)

Don't mess with Jersey.

Has the jury reached a
verdict, Madam Foreperson?

Yes, we have.

Will the defendant please rise?

FOREPERSON: In the matter
of State of New York

v. Ed Koeneke,

on the charge of assault
in the second degree,

we find the defendant...

not guilty.

JUDGE:
Thank you to all the members
of the jury.

Your service is
now completed.

(gavel bangs)
Thank you, Martina.

...Is the sound of
the lost gone found

It's the sound
of the mute...

MARTINA:
Best... trial... ever.

Is the sound of
a new start...

Kiss

With a mouth
full of shooting stars...

Congratulations.

Thank you.

And to think,
it all started with a punch.

Don't remind me.
Well, that's not even the
most interesting part.

Tricking a CEO
into giving a deposition?

Asking a jury to convict?

And, most alarming,
not telling your boss

you were called as a witness.

Riley told you.

No.

She's emotionally
challenged, but...

she respects privilege.

No, unfortunately for you,
code 1192 for an internal client

always gets my attention
in the billable hours system.

But she took the bill back.

Which required her
to void the transaction.

So it-it showed up twice?
Mm.

Yeah.

I saw it.

Two times.

Oops.

Good night, Martina.
Good night.
